Flescher, District 2 <br />Peter D. O'Bryan, District 4 <br />Tim Zorc, District 3 <br />Indian River County Environmental Control Office is requesting level funding of $7,033 from thelBoard of County <br />Commissioners to support the county office's function in protecting the health and environment of Indian River <br />County and its citizens. Although Indian River County Environmental Control Office is supported by the General <br />Fund, fines administered and collected through the office are directly deposited into the General Fund. <br />le Environmental Control Office continues to be challenged by the economic climate of vulnerable communities <br />nd unmaintained, abandoned, foreclosed and unowned properties. The hearing board resolves issues by taking into <br />consideration the financial and situational circumstances of the respondents allowing for lesser fines and/or <br />purgeable fines with compliance. Liens are placed on properties when fines go unpaid. I <br />Through Chapter 85-427, Special Acts, Laws of Florida, Indian River County Environmental Control Hearing Board <br />may enforce state agency rules or county ordinances pertaining to environmental regulation and protection of the <br />public health, including but not limited to, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Department of Health <br />(DOH) and St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD). <br />Thank you for considering this budget request and recognizing the importance of the work accomplished by the <br />Environmental Control Office and Hearing Board and its role in increasing the quality of life today for Indian River <br />County's citizens. <br />Sincerely, <br />.s. <br />Cheryl L.
