Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final April 4, 2023 <br />Mr. Bill Rigby expressed dissatisfaction with the League's property usage limitations <br />and the new liability insurance requirement. Additionally, he perceived the Health <br />Department's actions as unjust. <br />Chairman Earman stated the Health Department had planned to expand its services in <br />that area and throughout the County for the betterment of the community. Staff <br />decided to follow the agreement and have the Health Department take over as the <br />leaseholder, and welcomed the League to use the facility. <br />Miranda Swanson, Indian River County Health Department, stated the Health <br />Department Facility Use agreement applied whether it be to the main site or the <br />Wabasso site. Liability insurance was standard for a non-profit, and was required to <br />make sure that the organizations that were meeting within the site were consistent with <br />the mission and vision of the Department of Health. The Department of Health <br />prohibits any sort of political activities on their campuses. The Use Agreement was <br />required for everyone, not just for the League. <br />Interim County Administrator Mike Zito explained to the Rigbys that Liability <br />Insurance was an easy process and all that was needed was a Certificate of Liability <br />to have their meetings held in the Health Department's building. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />C.
