CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS and GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES <br />9.A. 22-0784 Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers re: False Alarms, Adult Arcades, Sober <br />Homes/Addiction Facilities, and Residency Restrictions for Sexual Offenders <br />Recommended Action: Discussion <br />Attachments: Memorandum from Sheriff <br />Sheriff Eric Flowers brought before the Board topics for discussion: 1) updating the <br />False Alarm Ordinance; 2) adult arcades; 3) Sober Home regulations; and, 4) <br />residency restrictions for sexual offenders. <br />Commissioner Susan Adams sought information from Sheriff Flowers on the language <br />change for the proposed False Alarm Ordinance. Sheriff Flowers stated the change <br />in the language would be to reflect what the department was currently doing, thus <br />allowing them to be in compliance with the law. <br />Commissioner Adams then brought up the enforcement of adult arcades and the issue <br />of the arcades handing out money instead of gift cards or non -monetary items. She <br />received information from Sheriff Flowers that the number of arcades had outpaced <br />available detectives, and he felt an Ordinance would be a better way to deal with <br />enforcement. <br />Commissioner Adams sought and received information from County Attorney Dylan <br />Reingold as to what could be done to regulate sober homes. Attorney Reingold <br />commented there would be limitations based on the American Disabilities Act (ADA) <br />and the Federal Fair Housing Act (FFHA) protections. Attorney Reingold stated he <br />would work with the Sheriff to figure out what could be done within regulations. <br />Chairman Peter O'Bryan added he had similar concerns and felt there were several <br />counties and cities that had passed similar Ordinances which could serve as templates. <br />Indian River County Florida Page a <br />
