Dylan Reingold, County Attorney <br />William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney <br />Susan J. Prado, Assistant County Attorney <br />l� <br />County Attorney's Matters - B.C.C. 6.14.22 <br />Of ce of <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />ATTORNEY <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Dylan Reingold, County Attorney <br />DATE: June 8, 2022 <br />SUBJECT: City of Vero Beach Appeal of Tourist Development Council May 11, 2022, action <br />to exclude City of Vero Beach proposal from consideration for Tourist <br />Development Tax Dollars <br />On June 7, 2022, the City Council of the City of Vero Beach submitted the attached "Appeal pursuant to § <br />100.06 — Appeal of Tourist Development Council May 11, 2022, action to exclude City of Vero Beach <br />proposal from consideration for Tourist Development Tax Dollars" (the "Appeal") to the Indian River <br />County Board of County Commissioners (the "Board"). <br />Per section 100.06 of the Indian River County Code of Ordinances ("Code"), "[a]ny person aggrieved by a <br />final decision of a board or commission may appeal to the board of county commissioners within twenty <br />(20) working days of the final decision. The board of county commissioners shall respond within twenty <br />(20) working days." <br />This Appeal does not meet the requirements of section 100.06 of the Code. First, the Appeal does not <br />appear to have been filed with the Tourist Development Council, which is a requirement of section 100.06 <br />of the Code. But more importantly, section 100.06(3) of the Code addressed appeals of a "final decision <br />of a board or commission." The action taken by the Tourist Development Council was merely a <br />recommendation. Thus, the appropriate avenue of raising issues was by presenting such issues at the <br />Indian River County Board of County Commissioners meeting on this matter on June 7, 2022. Other <br />agencies impacted by the Tourist Development Council recommendation attended and the Cultural <br />Council of Indian River County got up and spoke on the matter. This appeal is an attempt to circumvent <br />that process. <br />The County Attorney's Office intends to reply to the City Council of the City of Vero Beach accordingly, <br />but wanted to provide this update to the Board. <br />C.•IGranicwsl isiar51L51renWUbd15b56K4d3-4dbb-8869-Ibe2d1b514d6dae <br />138 <br />
