ON MOTION by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED by Chairman <br />Flescher, the Board unanimously approved to move forward with <br />the new Private Branch Exchange (PBX) telephone systems <br />upgrades for the County Administration site and County EOC site <br />(Emergency Operations Center at 43'd Avenue Complex) and <br />approved NEC Corporation of America as the sole source <br />organization to upgrade these two PBX telephone systems, as <br />recommended in the memorandum dated October 14, 2013.. <br />DOCUMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />12.J. Utilities Services - None <br />13. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS <br />13.A. Intervention in Pendinj' Administrative Hearing Cases <br />Against the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice <br />Assistant County Attorney Kate Cotner advised the Board that on July 17, 2012, <br />the Division of Administrative Hearing (DOAH) issued a recommended order, based on a Rule <br />Challenge filed by Okaloosa and Nassau Counties, finding that the Department of Juvenile <br />Justice exceeded its rulemaking authority, resulting in the process for calculating the shared costs <br />of counties associated with the States' Juvenile Detention Centers for the years 2008 through <br />2012 to be invalid and not consistent with the Florida Statutes. She advised that it was too late <br />for Indian River County to intervene in the 2008-2009 case, but there are three pending <br />administrative hearing cases against the State of Florida for the years 2009-2010, 2010-2011 and <br />2011-2012, and the County Attorney's office felt it was important to intervene in order to <br />preserve any rights that Indian River has to possibly recoup approximately $790,000. <br />October 22, 2013 17 <br />BK 144 PG 496 <br />
