Board of County Commissioners Budget Workshop Meeting Minutes - Final July 14, 2021 <br />He indicated that only three (3) counties out of sixty-seven (67) Counties had met <br />the 75% recycling goal and the Department of Environmental Protection was <br />looking at what the counties could do across the state to improve the recycling <br />programs. He mentioned that the County was in the process of designing and <br />building a new recycling transfer facility, noting that it was in the final stages of <br />design. He thanked Sue Flak, Recycling Education and Marketing Coordinator, <br />for her increased efforts in the community to educate the residents on the recycling <br />program. <br />Commissioner Earman commented that he did not realize how involved it was for <br />the County to supply water and sewer, and to operate a landfill. He wanted to <br />make sure there was appropriate funding for these services, noting that government <br />must provide for the health and safety of its citizens. <br />Commissioner Adams relayed her support of increasing the user fees in order to <br />create better technology and efficiency at the landfill, and being more <br />environmentally friendly with sustainable programs for waste and recycling. <br />Chairman Flescher opened the public hearing for comments; there were none. He <br />closed the public hearing. <br />The Board of Commissioners of the Solid Waste Disposal District adjourned the <br />meeting and reconvened as the Board of County Commissioners of the Budget <br />Workshop meeting, continuing with the Miscellaneous Funds Budget. <br />MISCELLANEOUS FUNDS <br />102 TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS FEES <br />103 ADDITIONAL IMPACT FEES <br />104 TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES 2020 <br />108 RENTAL ASSISTANCE <br />109 SECONDARY ROAD CONSTRUCTION <br />117 TREE ORDINANCE FINES <br />119 TOURIST DEVELOPMENT FUND <br />120 911 SURCHARGE <br />Indian River County Florida Page 18 <br />
