Although <br />the County Attorney's Office was hesitant to interject at all in this proceeding, it was <br />also the desire of the County Attorney's Office to avoid having the County included in <br />any lawsuit. He reiterated the County had no interest in this matter and would not be <br />taking any position with respect to any other arguments raised by either party in the <br />case. He further noted he was not aware of any contract negotiations for the County <br />to provide water services to the Town beginning in 2027, as The Town of Indian <br />River Shores had alleged. <br />Chairman O'Bryan reaffirmed the County did not want to be involved in this litigation, <br />but would abide by the judge's decision. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman Earman, seconded by Commissioner <br />Flescher to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by this following <br />vote: <br />Aye: 5 - Chairman O'Bryan, Vice Chairman Earman, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner <br />Flescher, and Commissioner Moss <br />14.
