Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final March 15, 2022 Recommended Action: County staff recommends that the Board authorize staff to set a public hearing to consider an ordinance making amending Section 312.11 (Performance Security) of the Indian River County Code of Ordinances. Attachments: Staff Report Draft Section 312.11 Amendment Language Assistant County Attorney Susan Prado appeared before the Board with a request to authorize staff to set a public hearing in consideration of an amendment to the County's Code of Ordinances (Code). Section 312.11 (Performance Security) of the Code requires security in the form of cash or a bond for any work done in the County right-of-way. Staff requested the addition of Letters of Credit as an acceptable form of security for right-of-way work, as was permissible in other sections of the Code. A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Vice Chairman Earman, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5- Chairman O'Bryan, Vice Chairman Earman, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and Commissioner Moss 13.D. 22-0220 Authorization to proceed with foreclosures on Code enforcement case: 2018020108 (Yates) Recommended Action: Staff recommends the Board authorize staff to move forward with outside counsel in the filing of foreclosure on the above named code enforcement cases Attachments: Staff Report Yates order finding violation signed Yates order imposing fine Assistant County Attorney Susan Prado used a PowerPoint presentation to provide the history of Code Enforcement Case 2018020108 (Yates). She noted the foreclosure on the estate was based on a Code Enforcement Board (CEB) order from 2018, though there were also liens from a 2018 Environmental Control Hearing Board (ECHB) order. On March 8, 2022, the Board granted Ms. Yates a one-week deferral to bring the property into compliance. Attorney Prado informed that the property remained out of compliance, and confirmed a required demolition permit had not been pulled. Chairman O'Bryan asked Ms. Dallasteen Yates, representative for the Estate of Dallas and Jane Yates, what her plan was regarding the subject property (Wabasso). She provided that she had a buyer for a different property (Gifford) from the estate, and planned to use the proceeds to pay the liens on the Wabasso property before selling it too. Ms. Yates added that the Gifford property sale fell through when partial release of lien was not granted, and she expressed confusion at the distinction between the ECHB and CEB orders.
