14. C.2. CONNECTED 4 KIDS /2-1-1 FAMILY RESOURCE GUIDE <br />Commissioner O'Bryan introduced and provided an update on Connected 4 Kids, and the <br />2-1-1 Family Resource Guide. <br />Althea McKenzie, 4876 30th Avenue, stressed that Connected 4 Kids is a great resource <br />for families, but was concerned about the age group of 13 through 19 having limited resources in <br />the County. She suggested that a community partnership be formed to examine this situation. <br />14. C.3. SAFESPACE WALK A MILE IN HER SHOES CHALLENGE <br />Commissioner O'Bryan challenged the Board, County Attorney, and County <br />Administrator to participate in the SafeSpace Walk a Mile in Her Shoes cause, when the <br />Proclamation is read at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on Tuesday, October 1St, <br />and for the SafeSpace Walk event scheduled for Saturday, October 26th <br />14. C.4. IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW FERTILIZER ORDINANCE <br />Commissioner O'Bryan brought forth a situation that involves John Deere, Landscapes, <br />Inc., a local retailer/distributor, who supplies most of the commercial landscape operations in <br />Indian River County and has approximately 100 tons of residential fertilizer in stock that will be <br />out of compliance when the Fertilizer Ordinance goes into effect in October. He explained why <br />the 50% slow release nitrogen requirement would hurt their business, and asked that the Board <br />consider three options: (1) do nothing, (2) reimburse the company for shipping costs to Counties <br />within the State that do not have an Ordinance (about $5,000), or (3) modify the ordinance so <br />that effective October 14th all nitrogen products will require a 25% slow release nitrogen <br />formula, and effective June 1st all products will require 50%. <br />September 10, 2013 27 <br />BK1144 PG 290 <br />
