Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final June 14, 2022 come into compliance. County Attorney Dylan Reingold stated the Attorney's Office would provide the Board with an update on the cases through either an email or a memorandum. A motion was made by Vice Chairman Earman, seconded by Commissioner Adams, to authorize staff to proceed with foreclosure on property at 12865 89th Street, and to put in abeyance any action on the property at 305 S Lime Street recently annexed into the City of Fellsmere. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5 - Chairman O'Bryan, Vice Chairman Earman, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and Commissioner Moss 13.B. 22-0494 City of Vero Beach Appeal of Tourist Development Council May 11, 2022, action to exclude City of Vero Beach proposal from consideration for Tourist Development Tax Dollars Attachments: Staff Report COVB Appeal pursuant to § 100.06 County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided an update to the Board on the memorandum from the City of Vero Beach (City) dated June 7, 2022, appealing the May 11, 2022 Tourist Development Council's (TDC) action to exclude the City of Vero Beach's proposal from consideration for Tourist Development Tax Dollars (tourist tax dollars) to the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (the Board). He added, the City's appeal does not meet the requirements of section 100.06 of the Indian River County Code of Ordinances (Code), as the appeal does not appear to have been filed with the TDC, and the action taken by the TDC was merely a recommendation. He felt the appropriate avenue for raising issues was at the June 7, 2022 Board meeting as had other agencies who were also impacted by the TDC's recommendations. He addressed the allegations that the County would not accept the application from the City for funding. He also brought up the fact that the item was added to the City's meeting agenda with no notice to the County indicating the item would be discussed at the City Council's meeting. Chairman O'Bryan sought and received confirmation from County Attorney Reingold on the list of items eligible to utilize tourist tax dollars, and the existence of an ordinance stating the TDC would make recommendations to the Board on future projects. He pointed out that at the March 15, 2022 meeting, the Board voted to codify the County's Outside Agency Policy; the revisions memorialized previously approved funding parameters set by the TDC, as well as a Board -authorized reallocation of tourist tax revenue. Commissioner Flescher added, as Chairman of the TDC, he could confirm the application from the City was on the May 11, 2022 TDC agenda and was explained clearly by staff that the request did not meet disbursement consideration as it was a municipality.
