Environmental Control Board <br />17. PUBLIC COMMENT: NON -AGENDA -RELATED MATTERS <br />18. ADJOURNMENT <br />Residents Joann Binford and Deana Accardi called for the cessation of fluoride in <br />Indian River County's water, citing its neurotoxic effects and asserting that toothpaste <br />provides sufficient fluoride. They expressed concerns about health risks, including <br />lower IQs in children, and argued that fluoridation constitutes unauthorized medical <br />treatment. With 41 Florida Counties already removing fluoride from the water, they <br />urged the Board to act, particularly for the safety of young children. <br />Judy Greenberg, President of the Roseland Women's Club, invited the <br />Commissioners and the public to the 2nd Annual Roseland Women's Club <br />Celebration, that would focus on health and wellness. The event, scheduled for <br />February 22nd from 9 AM to 2 PM, would include a speaker series addressing <br />various health issues, particularly those affecting veterans, and would feature local <br />healthcare providers. This year, there would be more outdoor activities for children to <br />encourage time in nature. Commissioner Adams expressed enthusiasm for the <br />celebration, recalling the enjoyable experience from last year. <br />There being no further business the Chairman adjourned the meeting at 10:44 a.m. <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 18 <br />
