Although Indian River County Environmental Control Office is supported by the General <br />Fund, tines administered and collected through the office are directly deposited into the General Fund. <br />The Environmental Control Office continues to be challenged with the economic climate of the community and <br />unmaintained, abandoned, and foreclosed properties. The presence ofthe hearing board compels the resolution of <br />complaints. The hearing board resolves issues by taking into consideration the financial and situational <br />circumstances of the respondents allowing for lesser fines and/or purgeable fines with compliance. Liens are placed <br />on properties when fines go unpaid. <br />Through Chapter 85-427, Special Acts, Laws of Florida, Indian River County Environmental Control Hearing Board <br />may enforce state agency rules or county ordinances pertaining to environmental regulation and protection of the <br />public health, including but not limited to, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Department of Health <br />(DOH) and St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWIVID). <br />Thank you for considering this budget request and recognizing the importance of the work accomplished by the <br />Environmental Control Office and Hearing Board and its role in increasing the quality of life today for Indian River <br />County's citizens. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mqk,)",,D S. <br />Cheryl L.
