Board of County Commissioners <br />November 7, 2019 <br />Page 2 <br />On January 8, 2019, the Board approved an ordinance establishing another 180 day temporary moratorium <br />on the land application of Class B biosolids in the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. The <br />moratorium was again renewed by the Board on June 18, 2019, and will expire on January 7, 2020. <br />During the past legislative session, the Florida Legislature passed HB 829, which contains language that <br />protects the ability of a county to continue to enforce or extend an ordinance, regulation, resolution, rule, <br />moratorium, or policy adopted before February 1, 2019, relating to the land application of Class B <br />biosolids until the ordinance, regulation, resolution, rule, moratorium, or policy is repealed or until the <br />effective date of the rules adopted by FDEP, whichever occurs first. Thus, the County Attorney's Office <br />is presenting to the Board another moratorium ordinance consistent with HB 829, which will extend the <br />moratorium into July 2020. <br />FUNDING. <br />The cost of publication of the required public notice for the public hearing was $138.51. The cost was <br />funded from the General Fund/County Attorney/Legal Ads (account number 00110214-034910). <br />RECOMMENDATION. <br />The County Attorney's Office recommends that after the public hearing the Board vote to approve the <br />draft ordinance. <br />ATTACHMENT(S). <br />Draft Biosolids Moratorium Ordinance <br />C.-JUmrslkgisw,iippD,wULo ATempiOCL Technologiesl,a PDF SICaBCL@Z40ESD131a�CL@240E5D13.doc 47 <br />
