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 />40 <br />The Environmental Control Office continues to be challenged by the economic climate of vulnerable communities <br />and 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. <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 />0,L - e- Y. <br />Cher3A L.
