/041 MEMORANDUM TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Dylan Reingold, County Attorney DATE: April 28, 2022 SUBJECT: Children's Services Advisory Committee Ordinance BACKGROUND. After initially considering establishing a Children's Trust special dependent district, on March 1, 2022, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners ("Board") voted not to place the Children's Trust special dependent district referendum on the November 2022 ballot. The Board did however vote to direct the County Attorney's Office to move forward with an ordinance changing aspects of Part II (Children's Services Advisory Committee) of Chapter 103 (Commissioners and Boards) of the Indian River County Code of Ordinances (the "Code") to address many of the issues raised in the proposed Children's Trust special dependent district ordinance. In addition to the changes previously addressed as part of that process, the Board additionally directed the County Attorney's Office to include business experience as a qualification for the community appointed members appointed by the Board. Also, the Board included an increase in the millage cap from the current limit of 0.125 to 0.25. Pursuant to the Board's direction, the County Attorney's Office has made those revisions to the draft ordinance and scheduled the matter for a public hearing. The County Attorney's Office recommends that the Chair open the public hearing, take any public comment, close the public hearing and that the Board vote to approve the draft ordinance. FUNDING. The cost associated with this item was the cost of publication of the notice of public hearing in the amount of $135.09 which is paid from the County Attorney's Budget/Legal Ads; Account No. 00110214-034910. RECOMMENDATION. The County Attorney's Office recommends that the Chair open the public hearing, take any public comment, close the public hearing and that the Board vote to approve the draft ordinance. ATTACHMENT.
