Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final <br />June 8, 2021 <br />reiterated the Board direction, noting that it was an overreach for Commissioner <br />Moss to contact the USGS directly. <br />Commissioner Moss stated that the Board had received a second request by the <br />IRSWCD to contact the USGS for an updated Countywide Geological Survey, <br />and she felt that the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was being ignored. She <br />requested that the Board allow the representative from the USGS to address <br />their concerns, which brought additional comments regarding the direction <br />given for staff to gather information and return to the Board. Commissioner <br />Moss then abruptly announced that the County's Utilities Director would be <br />leaving. County Administrator Jason Brown suggested that Commissioner <br />Moss should apologize to his staff member; however, she declined. <br />Vice Chairman O'Bryan referred to the backup provided by Commissioner <br />Moss, pointing to the Comprehensive Plan Objective 2: Preserving the Quantity <br />of the Surfcial Aquifer, and he confirmed that the Board was following the <br />Comprehensive Plan by waiting for the report from the SJRWMD. <br />Ms. Jean Catchpole, representing the Indian River Neighborhood Association, <br />questioned how the item got on the Board's agenda. Vice Chairman O'Bryan <br />explained the Board's policy and the process, and he issued an apology for not <br />moving to delete the item at the beginning of the meeting. Commissioner <br />Moss also apologized to the groups who were present to speak before the <br />Board. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner <br />Adams, to dismiss Item 14.E.1. and proceed to Item 15.13.1. The motion carried <br />by the following vote: <br />Aye: 4 - Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, and <br />Commissioner Earman <br />Nay: 1 - Commissioner Moss <br />14.E.2. 21-0590 Tourist Tax <br />Recommended Action: Discussion <br />Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum <br />Atch 1 - Florida Statute 125.0104 (2020) <br />Atch 2 - CountV Ordinance 87-11 <br />Atch 3 - VB Lfieguard Assoc 2020 Report <br />Atch 4 - Farrow Construction Estimate 2018 <br />Atch 5 - House of Refuge (Humiston) rendering <br />Atch 6 - 1987 Referendum Results - Tourist Dev Tax <br />Atch 7 - 1987 Proposed Expenditures - Tourist Dev Tax <br />Indian River County Florida Page 22 <br />
