Commissioner Bob Solari, Chairman <br />B. Commissioner Susan Adams, Vice Chairman <br />C. Commissioner Joseph E. Flescher <br />D. Commissioner Peter D. O'Brvan <br />14.D.1. 19-0199 John's Island Water District Re -use Line Action <br />Recommended Action: Discussion to consider tabling any action on the John's Island Water District <br />Re -use Line until the AIA study is completed and presented to the Board. <br />Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum <br />Staff Report Item 12.G.1 from 12/11/18 <br />Commissioner O'Bryan recounted that in December 2018, the County <br />commissioned a study to analyze the feasibility of installing a pressurized <br />re -use water line along the AIA corridor. Because the results of this study <br />were not expected until April 2019, Commissioner O'Bryan suggested pulling <br />the March 12, 2019 agenda item regarding John's Island Water Management's <br />(JIWM) plan to install a re -use pipeline in an alternate location, beneath the <br />Indian River Lagoon. <br />Chairman Solari agreed it would be in the County's best interest to consider the <br />results of the AIA study before moving forward with the JIWM project. <br />County Administrator Jason Brown advised that the study would most likely be <br />available for the April 23, 2019 Board meeting, though this was subject to <br />change. The consensus of the Board was to table the March 12, 2019 agenda <br />item until the County's contracted study could be reviewed. <br />Ruth Stanbridge, Indian River County Historical Society, appeared before the <br />Board to request a public hearing before allowing construction of the JIWM <br />pipeline. Chairman Solari advised that the issue would return on the agenda of <br />a regular Board meeting. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan raised the question of whether the County had the legal <br />right to grant an easement allowing JIWM access to the Indian River Lagoon. <br />The Chairman agreed to discuss the matter further with County Attorney Dylan <br />Reingold. <br />Approved <br />Indian River County Florida Page 16 <br />
