Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final November 5, 2024 <br />Recommended Action: The County Attorney recommends that the Board discuss the proposed ordinance <br />amendments, recommend changes if needed, and approve advertisement for a public <br />hearing on the amendments to the IRC Code Sections 102.01 and 102.04. <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Ordinance Amending Code Sections 102.01 and 102.04 <br />Attorney Shuler explained that the proposed Ordinance served to update the <br />Commissioner's meeting procedures. The current prohibition on holding meetings on <br />the last Tuesday of the month may be unnecessary now that there were only two <br />meetings a month instead of three. Therefore, she recommended removing that <br />restriction from Indian River County Code Section 102. 1, Subsection 1. Additionally, <br />she proposed changes to Section 102.04 that would update the order of business at <br />regular meetings. Specifically, the Building and Facility Services Department and <br />Sandridge Golf Club (Sandridge) being added under Subsection 13. <br />Chairman Adams raised concerns about including Sandridge Golf Course under <br />Subsection 13, noting that Sandridge was not officially classified as a department. She <br />questioned why Sandridge was being treated differently than the other Recreation <br />Departments. <br />County Administrator John Titkanich explained that Sandridge operated as a <br />stand-alone Enterprise Fund. Sandridge does not fall under any established <br />department. Instead, it reports directly to the County Administrator and occasionally <br />has its own agenda items. <br />Attorney Shuler also recommended that the Board revise its public comment process <br />during meetings. She found it unusual that the website required individuals to fill out a <br />comment card to speak despite current policies allowing public comments per Florida <br />Statute 286.0114, which ensured the public's right to be heard. To improve <br />accessibility, she suggested removing the advance sign-up requirement and holding <br />public comments on agenda items at the beginning of the meeting. This change would <br />allow individuals to express their views without needing to stay for the entire session. <br />The Board and staff discussed using a device or "shot clock" to limit public comments <br />to three minutes. If more time were needed, it would be at the discretion of the Chair. <br />There was concern about creating the perception that rules applied differently to <br />different people. When there was a large group, the announcement would ask <br />everyone to keep comments relevant and to avoid repetition. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Moss, seconded by Vice Chairman <br />Flescher, to approve the request to advertise a Public Hearing to amend the <br />Indian River County Code Sections 102.01(1) and 102.04. The motion carried by <br />the following vote: <br />Indian River County Florida Page 19 <br />
