that he had already reviewed the Resolution and found it acceptable; Commissioner O'Bryan <br />announced his original Motion would stand. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />AGREEMENT ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />14. C.2. UPDATE ON THE MEDICAID ISSUE <br />Commissioner O'Bryan provided details and analysis regarding Senate Bill 1884 (SB <br />1884) which creates a new State system for the calculation of the County's share of Medicaid <br />costs. He elaborated on the new bilking system, which will change the County's contribution <br />from a cost -based to an enrollment -based share, over a seven-year period. He commended <br />Senator Denise Gnmsley for her work in getting the original bill amended somewhat, softening <br />its financial impact, but advised that the County's Medicaid costs will still be rising as a result of <br />this legislation. <br />14.D. COMMISSIONER BOB SOLARI <br />14.D.1. LAWN LITTER ORDINANCE <br />Commissioner Solari stated that the practice of blowing lawn clippings onto the street, <br />where they end up in a storm drain or canal, results in high nutrient inputs to the Indian River <br />Lagoon. He said that he was concerned because of the economic incentive that commercial <br />lawn crews have to quickly dispatch a job and move on. He also noted that he has seen County <br />workers blow lawn litter onto the road. He related that Florida State Statute 403.413, the Florida <br />Litter Law, does not specifically mention lawn fitter, and wondered if the Board would consider <br />adopting an ordinance clarifying that yard waste is not to be blown onto the public roadways. <br />Chairman Flescher questioned the enforceability of the proposed ordinance. <br />May 7, 2013 <br />30 BK 143 PG 813 <br />
