DRAINAGE
INTRODUCTION
The drainage section of this element shall provide the
primary objectives and policies intended to protect land use from
adverse impacts of inadequate drainage. It will offer general
performance standards having to do with drainage and will
identify the various agencies which are involved with the
regulation, management, and maintenance of drainage systems.
OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
Objective #1 - Insure that all areas of the County where
development is existing or proposed have sufficient drainage
capability.
Policy #la - Identify those areas within the urban service
area of the County where drainage is inadequate and initiate
methods to correct.
Policy #lb - Support the National Flood Insurance Program at
the local level and assist the Flood Insurance Agency in
disseminating information relative to its provisions.
CODING: Words in Ottli¢xf#.xt4 type are deletions from existing law.
Words underlined are additions.
ORDINANCE NO. 87-19
Objective #2 - Enhance water quality values through use of
drainage practices which will eliminate pollutant loadings from
receiving waters.
Policy #2a - Utilize best management practices and other
methods which will remove pollutants from storm water runoff
before reaching surface and subsurface waters.
Policy #2b - To protect natural areas and open space in order
to facilitate adequate drainage and aquifer recharge capabilities.
Policy #2c - Insure that all drainage canals and
retention/detention areas are properly maintained and kept free of
any trash or debris which may hinder their efficiency.
Objective #3 - Coordinate with the St. Johns River Water
Management District, the Municipalities, and the Drainage
Districts in solving drainage problems on a County -wide basis.
Policy #3a - Support the adoption of ordinances which will
improve drainage conditions.
EXISTING CONDITIONS AND APPROACHES
Topography - The topography of Indian River County does not
have extreme changes in elevations, however, there are several
large physiographic features that are of importance to the
County's storm water management program. Two ridges parallel the

coast in the eastern part of the County. The easternmost ridge is
about one mile west of the Indian River and reaches a maximum
elevation of approximately 30 feet. The other ridge is about ten
miles inland, corresponding closely with the I-95 corridor. A
wide, shallow, and relatively flat depression is found between
the parallel ridges; thus, urban growth is taking place in a
natural drainage catchment area. The north end of this
depression is drained by the south prong of Sebastian Creek, and
the south end of this depressed area is covered with an extensive
network of drainage canals. The lack of clearly defined natural
streams through this shallow "valley" is an important feature to
be considered in planning for storm water management. Open
canals are required to compensate for the lack of natural
streams. West of I-95, the topography is flat and marshy. Much
of western Indian River County is covered by the St. Johns Marsh,
and drainage canals have been installed to aid in the
agricultural use of portions of this land.

Soils- The soils of Indian River County are separated into
five general landscape groups. These are the soils of the sand
ridges, coastal island and tidal marshes, flatwoods, sloughs, and
freshwater swamps and marshes.
The soils of the sand ridges consist of nearly level to
gently sloping, excessively drained and moderately well drained
soils in high dunelike areas on the Atlantic Coastal Ridge along
U.S. Highway 1 and extends in a north -south direction from Brevard
County to Saint Lucie County. These soils are sandy throughout to
a depth of eighty inches or more. Soils of the largest extent in
this area are Astatula, Archbold, and Saint Lucie.
The soils of coastal islands consist of nearly level to
gently sloping, poorly drained to excessively drained soils on
low, gently undulating dunelike ridges, on elongated sloughs, on
the higher dunelike ridges of the barrier island, and on islands
and mangrove tidal swamps. These soils are sandy throughout and
contain shell.fragments. The tidal marshes consist of level, very
poorly drained soils that formed in loamy or clayey tidal deposits
that have very low soil strength. The soil of the coastal island
and tidal marshes are in the eastern part of the county. Soils of
the largest extent in this area are Canaveral, Captiva, Palm
Beach, McKee, and St. Augustine.
The soils of the flatwoods consist of nearly level, poorly
drained and somewhat poorly drained soils in broad areas of the
flatwoods mostly in.the eastern and extreme western parts of the

county. Some soils are sandy throughout and others are underlain
by loamy material. Most of the soils in this area have a dark
sandy hardpan subsoil. Soils of the largest extent in this area
are Immokalee, Myakka, Satellite, Eau Gallie, Oldsmar, Wabasso,
and Riviera.
The soils of the sloughs consist of nearly level, poorly
drained and very poorly drained soils in broad, low flats and in
sloughs, depressions, and poorly defined drainageways mostly in
the central part and eastern one-third of the county. The area
extends from Brevard County to Saint Lucie County and also extends
east of the Atlantic Coastal Ridge and are adjacent to the tidal
marshes on the mainland. Another area of these soils is
immediately west of the Saint Johns Marsh and extends from Brevard
County to Okeechobee County. Most of these soils have a loamy
subsoil within a depth of forty inches. Some soils have a dark
sandy hardpan subsoil or are underlain by hard limestone. Soils
of the largest extent in this area are Riviera, Pineda, Wabasso,
Winder, Manatee, Boca, Myakka, Holopaw, and Pompano.
The soils of the freshwater swamps. and marshes consist of
nearly level, poorly drained to very poorly drained soils in areas
adjacent to or that drain into the western edge of the Saint Johns
Marsh in the western part of the county and extend from Brevard
County to Saint Lucie County. Some of these soils are organic
throughout and some have a thin to moderately thick organic layer
underlain by a sandy clay loam subsoil. Soils of the largest
extent in this area are Terra Ceia, Gator, Canova, Floridana,
Delray, and Holopaw.

an important tool to describe the drainage capability of
individual land parcels and should be used in the design of
drainage systems. The Soil Conservation. Service has developed a
Generalized Soil Map for the County. (See Figure 57)
Climate: The climate of this region is sub -tropical with
humid summers and mild winters. Records of the National Weather
Service indicate that the mean annual air temperature is
approximately 72.5°F and mean annual precipitation is 51.2 inches
(period: 1941 through 1976).
Sixty percent of the annual rainfall occurs from June
through October during convective afternoon thundershowers.
Tropical storms and/or hurricanes can affect the area between
June and mid-November with high winds and heavy rainfall.

The 10 -year 6 -hour storm is typically utilized as design
criteria for secondary drainage facilities such as storm sewers
and small ditches. The 25 -year 24-hour storm event is typically
used in Indian River County for design of primary drainage
systems. The 100 -year 24-hour event is commonly used for flood
insurance purposes under the National Flood Insurance Program.
Tides - Potential for flooding from storm surges and other
abnormally high tides exists along the County's coastal areas.
Storm surges up to 15 feet above mean sea level have been
associated with hurricanes. Coastal rivers
experience rises of five to seven feet during these periods.
Groundwater - The Anastasia Formation which is the shallow
aquifer underlying much of the County, consists of layers of sand,
shell, and clay. Below this layer lies the Hawthorne Formation
which is the impervious confining bed of the Anastasia Formation.
The Hawthorne formation is composed predominately of clay. Below
the Hawthorne Formation lies the Floridan Aquifer. The Hawthorne
Formation retards the upward movement of water from the Floridan
Aquifer.
Water from the Anastasia Formation is of good quality and is
the main source of supply for municipal and domestic use. Water
from the Floridan Aquifer is of poorer quality and is used

primarily for agricultural purposes. However, the Floridan
Aquifer is the source of water for the County's reverse -osmosis
water treatment plant.
The shallow aquifer is recharged from infiltration of
rainfall. (See Figure 60).
Water Quality Classification - Waters of the State have been
classified according to designated uses by the Florida Department
of Environmental Regulation. Criteria applicable to each class
are designed to maintain minimum conditions necessary to assure
suitability of water for the designated use of the
classification. The classifications are:
Class lA Potable Water Supplies - Surface Waters
Class 1B Potable and Agricultural Water Supplies and
Storage - Groundwater
Class II Shellfish Propagation or Harvesting - Surface
Class III Recreation, Propagation and Management of
Fish and Wildlife - Surface Waters
Class IV Agricultural Water Supplies - Surface Waters
Class VA Navigation, Utility and Industrial Use -
Class VB Freshwater Storage, Utility and Industrial
Surface water within the County, as with most waters of the
state, are classified as Class III. The Indian River, north of
IRFWCD North Relief Canal, is classified as Class II, generally
demanding higher water quality standards.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas - Environmentally sensitive
areas in the County lie within and along the Indian River. The
Indian River from Malabar in Brevard County south to Sebastian
and from Vero Beach south to Fort Pierce has been designated as
"Outstanding Florida Waters" by virtue of being within State
Aquatic Preserves. The seagrass beds and mangrove shorelines
provide an ecological base for fish and wildlife habitation.

Development of drainage plans must consider these aspects of
the Indian River as it will serve as the ultimate discharge
point. The Florida Department of .Environmental Regulation has
recommended the utilization of mosquito control basins for
stormwater.management purposes.
WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS AND REGULATORY AGENCIES
Indian River Farms Water Control District (IRFWCD)
Indian River Farms Water Control District was established in
June, 1919 to serve the irrigation and drainage needs of the
citrus and truck farming industry. The original canal system was
designed to convey 1 inch of runoff from the district to the
Indian River in a 24-hour period. The IRFWCD is a F.S. Chapter
298 special drainage district.which has authority over most of
the canal systems in the urban service area. It has power to
collect taxes for operation and maintenance and to require
permits from both the public and private sectors.
The district requires permits for all construction
activities that occur in its right-of-way. All permits are
granted on a temporary basis and subject to removal by the
applicant within a period not to exceed 120 days if the district
so directs.
St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD)
The SJRWMD was established under Chapter 373, F.S., for the
purpose of regulation of both surface and groundwater in the St.
Johns River Basin. Relative to t444 014¢t` t00 stormwater
management, three types of permits are issued: Management and

Management and Storage of Surface Waters - Activities that
will impound a water surface area exceeding forty acres, or alter
the rate of flow of a watercourse that drains a watershed
exceeding five square miles are subject to state regulatory
authority.
Sebastian River Water Management District
In 1927, the Sebastian River Drainage
District was created under the general drainage laws of the State
of Florida. This District primarily serves agricultural lands and
has minimal permitting procedures.
Fellsmere Water Management District
This district serves the north-western portion of the County
near the City of Fellsmere. The land use is predominantly
agricultural and does not impact the current developing areas of
the County.
Florida Department of Transportation
A permit is required from the Florida Department of
Transportation for construction activity which falls within their
right-of-way. This includes installation of drainage structures,
roadway connections, utilities installations, disposal of runoff,
and all other earthwork activities.
National Flood Insurance Program
The United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
instituted the National Flood Insurance Program. Flood Insurance
Rate Maps for the County were prepared primarily from U.S.
Geological Survey Topographic maps. The maps were revised in 1981
to reflect wave height elevations. The County has adopted the
standards for development within the flood hazard zones as
delineated on the FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Maps). A more
detailed study is in progress to determine the 10, 50, and 100
year floodplains of the Sebastian River and Collier Creek.

Objective #1 - The County will support development of a
comprehensive areawide surface water management program.
Policy #la - The system should be composed of both natural
and manmade elements which support each other. The runoff from
the first inch of OWiAOAUt 440ft rainfall shall be absorbed or
retained on-site as a minimum.
Policy #lb - Preserve natural wetlands to the furthest extent
possible and prevent them from being drained when in conflict with
the public interest.
Policy #lc - Recognize that storm water is a component of the
total available water resources of an area.
Objective #2 - The County will encourage development of
drainage facilities in unincorporated areas meeting priority
needs.
Policy #2a - The County shall place priorities on those areas
where drainage improvements have a significant benefit to the
health, safety or welfare of the residents.
Drainage System Performance Standards
A. Drainage systems should be designed to facilitate
aquifer recharge, unless it would be harmful to
groundwater quality.
B. Natural overland flows and open channel and grass swale
routings are preferred. Open channels and swales
should harmonize with the natural features of the site
and be designed to avoid or minimize safety hazards.
C. Alignment of open drainage components must be
coordinated with design of lot and street patterns and
grades. Drainage systems in conjunction with arterial
and collector streets should insure that these major
thoroughfares remain as free of water as is practical.

An Economic Development Element of the Comprehensive Plan is
hereby created and shall read as follows.
The Overall Economic Development Plan (OEDP) for Indian River
County was adopted in June of 1985 by the Board of County
Commissioners. On July 31, 1985, the Economic Development
Administration (EDA) designated Indian River County as a title IV
Redevelopment Area which qualifies the County to apply for federal
funds for economic development projects. At that time, representa-
tives from the OEDP Committee along with selected members of the
County's Economic Development Committee were chosen to form the
Economic Development Council. The Economic Development Council
was given the responsibility of coordinating the implementation of
the strategies of the OEDP and improving the community's percep-
tion of economic development .programs., The Planning Department
works directly with the Economic Development Council and OEDP
Committee in implementing the strategies in the OEDP, developing
economic development projects, and evaluating and revising the
OEDP.
The Economic Development Element of the Indian River County
Comprehensive Plan sets forth the County's policies for economic
growth and diversification. This element is based on the
objectives set forth in the County's Overall Economic Development
Plan as revised through June of 1986.
The Economic Development Element is organized into two parts. The
first section outlines and analyzes the existing economic
conditions and trends within the County. The second section
consists of the goals, objectives, and policies which were
formulated based on the potentials and constraints within Indian
River County's economy. The County realizes that growth in both
population and industrial and commercial expansion will accompany
economic development, thus the policies/strategies outlined in
this element are designated to facilitate the implementation of
the goals and objectives. A matrix which outlines the goals,
objectives, strategies, and the agency responsible for implemen-
tation is also included in section two of the Economic Development
Element.
This section of the Economic Development Element discusses now
important the transportation system is to the County's economy in
addition to an analysis of the County's labor force and employment
trends. Potentials and constraints for economic development in
Indian River County is also outlined. The analysis concludes with
a discussion of those regulations which affect economic
development and the importance of consistency with the Land Use
Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
The Transportation system
Indian River County is served by both natural and man-made trans -
systems. The Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River
provide a natural transportation link while the County is
connected to the rest of the country by several man-made thorough-
fares.
ORDINANCE NO. 87- 19
Interstate 95, a controlled access four -lane highway, runs through
the County connecting its residents south to Miami and north to
the rest of the eastern seaboard. There are currently two inter-
changes for the interstate in the County, located at State Road 60
and at County Road 512. There are also plans for a third inter-
change at Oslo Road in the future. I-95 is an asset to Indian
River County due to its important link to intra -and interstate
commerce.
The other national thoroughfare. which serves Indian River County
is U.S. Highway 1. U.S. 1 is a four -lane highway which runs north
and south through the County. U.S. 1 links the major commercial
areas as well as the cities of Vero Beach and Sebastian, the two
largest municipalities in the County.
State Road 60 is the County's primary east -west thoroughfare.
This road is a divided highway east of I-95 ranging in width from
four to six lanes. West of I-95, S.R. 60 narrows to two lanes
which run across the state, linking the County to the Gulf Coast
of Florida in Tampa.
The other major state road located within the County is A -I -A.
This road is a north -south thoroughfare located on the barrier
island. This road serves as the only continuous means of
north -south travel on the island.
This County is also traversed by the Florida East Coast Railroad.
This system runs primarily north and south and generally parallels
U.S. 1. This mode of transportation serves most of the County's
commercial and industrial areas and can be used to ship goods and
supplies into and out of the County.
Indian River County is served by two municipal airports. The Vero
Beach Municipal Airport accommodates both piston and jet aircraft.
One commuter airline also operates out of Vero Beach, connecting
the County with Florida'.s larger cities. The City of Vero Beach
has also established an industrial park adjacent to the airport.
The Sebastian Municipal Airport is located in the northeastern
part of the County and is geared primarily towards small, light
aircraft.
Labor Force and Employment
Indian River County's employment structure and labor force
characteristics are very important aspects when developing
economic.development strategies for an area.
Indian River County's unemployment rate is approximately 3%
higher, on the average, than the State's unemployment rate. The
County's unemployment rate is also very cyclical due to the
seasonal nature of the citrus industry. This aspect of the
County's economy causes its unemployment rate to fluctuate
monthly. During the summer months, the County's unemployment rate
is usually more than 3% above that of the State. Table 1
illustrates the fluctuation and cyclical nature of Indian River

Service and trade occupations, wholesale and retail trades, and
agriculture account for most of the employment in the County.
According to the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and
Business Research, the fastest growing sector of the economy, in
terms of employment, is the service sector. The 9% per year
growth in service sector employment can be attributed to the fact
that a large number of fairly affluent older citizens are moving
into the County. These types of residents generally require a
greater amount of services than younger, working residents. Table
2 illustrates the breakdown in employment by sector for Indian
River County.
Although agriculture is one of the primary employment sectors in
the County, agriculture provides the second lowest per capita
income. Historically, manufacturing has provided the highest per
capita income in Indian River County, but due to a shift in the
economy towards an increasing service sector, the per capita
income from service and trade occupations has increased. Table 3
outlines income and earning by major industrial source in Indian
River County.
Although the County's economy is becoming more service-oriented,
the manufacturing sector provided the highest per capita income
prior to 1979 and remains very important to Indian River County's
economy. However, most of the people working in the manufacturing
sector are employed by one form, Piper Aircraft. Due to the
dominance of one industry in the manufacturing sector, the
County's entire economy may be affected. The dominance of one
firm in the County's manufacturing sector is clearly shown in
Table 4 below.

Another factor which affects economic development is the income
level of Indian River County's residents. In 1979, the median
household income in Indian River County was $15,370 compared to
$14,657 for the State of Florida. The median family income in
Indian River County was $18,053 compared to $17,280 in the State
in 1979. Thus, Indian River County has higher family and
household incomes than that of the State of Florida as a whole.
Table 5 shows the median household and family incomes by
municipality.
Median Family Median Household
Income Income
Unincorporated
Indian River Co. $18,053 $15,370
Vero Beach $20,787 $16,296
Fellsmere $23,075 $19,323
Orchid $16,875 $14,375
Indian River Shores $42,371 $36,439
Sebastian $13,662 $12,469
Although Indian River County is more affluent than the State as a
whole, the County's average income figures are inflated due to
certain areas in the County which are extremely affluent. It
should be noted that both the State's and County's income
statistics are lower than those for the United States. The median
family income in the United States was $19,684 in 1979.
ORDINANCE NO. 87-19
Poverty statistics show that the County percentage of persons
below the poverty level is lower than that of the State. Of the
County's total population, 8.3% were below the poverty level and
37.3% of the County's black population were below the poverty
level in 1979. Approximately 13.4% of the County's population
under the age of 55 had incomes below the poverty level in 1979,
indicated that the older residents were more affluent than the
younger residents.
Potentials for Economic Development
Indian River County has a large available labor pool comprised of
unemployed persons seeking year round work and seasonally unem-
ployed workers looking for short term employment.
The County is also perceived as a nice place to live and has a
high quality of life including low residential densities, numerous
recreational opportunities, a high level of health care, and
opportunities for higher or continuing education.
The County's rapid population growth, comprised of a large influx
of affluent retirees, provides_ a large market for goods and
services. The high median income and amount of disposable income
available creates an ever increasing demand for goods and
services.
The thriving citrus industry and the prominence of "high-tech"
industries near Kennedy Space Center can be used as a means of
attracting industry to Indian River County.
The designation of large tracts of land in the County for
commercial and industrial development and the availability of
other areas which have not been fully utilized provide many
locations for new activity.
Interstate 95, U.S. 1, S.R. 60, the F.E.C. Railroad, the Vero
Beach and Sebastian Airports, and the Intracoastal Waterway all
form an integrated transportation network favorable for interstate
commerce.
The favorable tax structure and large number of financial institu-
tions provide a large pool of available capital for commercial
expansion.
Economic Development Constraints
Due to the cyclical nature of unemployment in Indian River County,
the number of persons available for full time work fluctuates by
season. A majority of the unemployed work force are unskilled and
many of the young people are leaving the County due to lack of
employment opportunities.
County residents have not perceived economic development as
positive in the past and the cost of living is slightly higher
than the national average and is one of the highest among counties
in the State.
The County does not presently have excess water and wastewater
capacity in most areas and some commercial and industrial areas
will probably not be served by public water and wastewater
facilities for ten to fifteen years.
The County does not currently offer any financial incentives,
other than Industrial Development Bonds, to developers interested
in locating in the County. Some of the County's land development
regulations may even serve to inhibit economic development in
certain areas.
ORDINANCE NO. 87-19
The existing transportation system, including bridges connecting
the mainland and the barrier island, needs to be upgraded. The
municipal airports do not currently provide large-scale passenger
or freight carrier services.
Land in the County is expensive, relative to other areas in
Florida, causing the cost of development to also be expensive.
Relationshi2 to the Land Use Plan
The land use plan designates specific areas in the County where
future commercial and industrial development may occur. These
areas include mixed use areas, a commercial corridor along a
portion of U.S. 1, and clustered areas around major intersections
designated as nodes on the Land Use Element. This node concept
was formulated to avoid the establishment of strip commercial
development along arterial streets and to prevent incompatible
land uses from locating next to each other.
Any business or industry who wishes to locate in Indian River
County will be required to locate within a node, mixed-use
district, or designated. commercial or industrial area. The nodal
areas on the Land Use Plan which have been designated for com-
mercial and industrial use provide, enough available land to meet
the projected demand for nonresidential land for the 20 year life
of the Comprehensive Plan. The nodes were located in. order to
maintain existing areas of commercial and industrial development,
and provide additional areas for new development which have direct
access to the transportation system. The nodes were also located
in order to avoid undue encroachment into primarily residential
areas.

The local sources of revenue available to fund the transportation
capital improvements program include the Constitutional Gas Tax,
the Local Option Gas Tax, Traffic Impact Fees, and other money
which could be allocated from local taxes. In addition, state
funds and federal funds allocated by the state may be available
for some of the road improvements.

The state legislature has provided for local governments to
impose a local gas tax of up to six cents per gallon. In 1986,
the Board of County Commissioners increased the County's local
option gas tax from two -cents. per gallon to six -cents per gallon.
The revenue from this tax is allocated among the County and the
five municipalities based on each jurisdictions percentage of
total county population. These percentages are as follows:

City of Sebastian

In January of 1986, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the
Fair Share Roadway Improvements Ordinance which established a
traffic impact fee for all new development in the County which
will generate additional traffic. The fees collected are
earmarked for use in funding the County's transportation capital
improvements program for upgrading the major streets and highways
in the County. It is projected that traffic impact fees will
generate approximately $2,000,000 a year or $40,000,000 over the
twenty-year life of the capital improvements program.
Other revenue sources available to fund the transportation
capital improvements program include local taxes, special
assessments of property owners abutting roads designated for
secondary improvements, state and federal funds.
Secondary improvements make up $56,413,000 of the capital
improvements program. An additional source of funding for these
improvements is assessing fifty percent of the cost of these
improvements to abutting property owners who would derive a
direct benefit from these road improvements. Such anassessment
would generate $28,000,000 in additional revenue.

ORDINANCE 87-19
`i
Some state and federal money is available for road improvements.
The U.S. Department of Transportation allocates money to the
states for the construction, widening, and maintenance of U.S.
highways such as U.S. Highway #1 and Interstate 95. The state
determines how these monies will be allocated among the various
local governments and is responsible for funding the
construction, widening, and maintenance of state highways such as
State Road 60 and State Road A -1-A. As demand increases in the
future and funding resources are available, the state may
allocate state and federal funds for some of the projects
identified in the County's transportation capital improvements
program. For example, the County is anticipating that the state
will provide approximately $12,000,000 for the replacement of the
Merrill Barber Bridge and construction of Indian River Boulevard
North.
The revenue available to fund the County's $159,000,000
transportation capital improvements program is summarized as
follows:
Constitutional Gas Tax $181000,000
Local Option Gas Tax $40,500,000
Traffic Impact Fees $40,000,000
Other Revenue Sources $60,500,000
Total $159,000,000
These figures indicate that approximately 25 percent of the
revenue to fund the capital improvements program will come from
the local option gas tax and another 25 percent from traffic
impact fees. Unfortunately, 38 percent of the funding will have
to come from other revenue sources which will not be as
dependable as the other specified revenue sources.
The provisions of this ordinance shall be incorporated into
the County Code and the word "ordinance" may be changed to
"section", "article", or other appropriate word, and the sections
of this ordinance may be renumbered or relettered to accomplish
such intentions.
If any section, part of a sentence, paragraph, phrase or
word of this ordinance is for any reason held to be
unconstitutional, inoperative or void, such holdings shall not
affect the remaining portions hereof and it shall be construed to
have been the legislative intent to pass this ordinance without
such unconstitutional, invalid or inoperative part.
The provisions of this ordinance shall become effective upon
receipt from the Florida Secretary of State of official
acknowledgment that this ordinance has been filed with the
Department of State.
Approved and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of
Indian River County, Florida on this 17th day of February 1987.
