Administrator Baird related that the Sheriff’s budget is approved in three different
categories - Court Services, Corrections, and Law Enforcement. Within those categories, there
was a division between Salaries and Operating and Capital Budgets. Administrator Baird
disclosed that the Sheriff wanted to transfer funds between categories to affect cost reductions this
year and next year, and to increase the efficient handling of the funds.
Harry Hall
, Comptroller, Sheriff’s office, stated that the Sheriff wanted to move
funds from Salaries to Capital, so some items (vehicles, computers, radios) could be purchased this
year at a savings, and he also wanted to move monies between categories as contingencies arise.
Mr. Hall disclosed that the amount of money that the Sheriff desired to transfer is $1 million two
hundred seventy-six thousand dollars ($1,276,000.00).
May 15, 2007 8
Commissioner Wheeler commented that he would like to see the Sheriff’s office
emulate the County Commission, where every budgeted item is accounted for. He wanted the
Sheriff’s office to provide a close accounting of funds needed in each category, and then have
additional funding requests for specific items.
Administrator Baird requested that Mr. Hall come back to the Board with specific
information regarding the locations and amounts of the transferred funds. Mr. Baird noted that
this would be an estimate.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Davis,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to approve the
Sheriff’s request to amend the 2006-2007 fiscal year
Operating Budget.
Vice Chair Bowden supported the Motion.
Chairman Wheeler was concerned that the Board has a fiduciary responsibility to
oversee the Sheriff’s budget, and that the policies and procedures set forth regarding this were not
being followed.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Board,
by a 3-2 vote (Chairman Wheeler & Commissioner
O’Bryan opposed), approved the Sheriff’s request to
amend the 2006-2007 fiscal year Operating Budget.
Commissioner Davis clarified that the Sheriff’s Department was authorized to move
forward, but would return with an accounting of the fund distributions and allocations.

Eileen Mark, a New York resident who owns property in Whispering Pines. GMAC is asking for
forgiveness of interest on a $7,000.00 (approximately) lien imposed by the County on Ms. Mark’s
lot.
Administrator Baird pointed out that out-of-State residents are not forgiven their
debts. Mr. Baird never recommends reduction in interest since it is not fair to the people who get

th
Billy L. Hitchcox
, 4282 48 Ave., provided to the Board copies of his survey and
documents (copy on file) outlining the steps Mr. Hitchcox had taken to construct two new mobile
homes in accordance with County regulations. In 2006, Mr. Hitchcox had purchased a lot
containing two mobile homes in Palm Gardens Subdivision and he subsequently received two
building permits to place two new mobile homes on the property. In October, Code Enforcement
May 15, 2007 10
notified Mr. Hitchcox that he was in violation of Code 9114.2.C. Mr. Hitchcox requested
clarification as to how he could come into compliance.
Administrator Baird responded that staff would meet with Mr. Hitchcox to get a
concise understanding of what his violation was and see if he could get it corrected, but there was
a distinct process that he must go through, via Code Enforcement and Planning. Bob Keating,
Community Development Director, advised that there was going to be an evidentiary hearing
between Mr. Hitchcox and the Code Enforcement Board on Monday, May 21, 2007.
Roland DeBlois, Environmental & Code Enforcement Chief, explained that on Mr.
Hitchcox’s property, which must be split into two distinct parcels, there can only be two mobile
homes, and it was up to the Code Enforcement Board to determine whether a violation existed.
Chairman Wheeler reiterated that Mr. Hitchcox needed to go through the Code
Enforcement Board. Attorney Collins added that Mr. Hitchcox could appeal to the Circuit Court if
he was unhappy with the decision made by Code Enforcement, which would be bestowed after
Code Enforcement heard both sides of the issue.

Administrator Baird reminded the Board that the July 3 meeting would precede the
Fourth of July holiday, and asked if the Board wanted to cancel the meeting. He also informed the
Board that the Commissioners had the opportunity to participate in a Water Management
Conference on July 18, July 19, and July 20. Since July 18 and July 19 were scheduled Budget
Workshop days, Administrator Baird suggested that the Budget meetings be rescheduled to
Monday, July 16, continue on Tuesday, July 17, following the regular meeting, and conclude on
Wednesday, July 18 if not before.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Vice Chair Bowden, the Board unanimously approved the
rd
cancellation of the Tuesday, July 3, 2007 meeting, and the
request to change the Budget Workshop Schedule to
thth
Monday, July 16, Tuesday, July 17 (following the
th
Commission Meeting), and Wednesday, July 18 (as
needed), and as recommended in the memorandum of May
9, 2007.
(Clerk’s Note: Following Item 10.B., Administrator Baird announced that he had
just received notification that the Water Management Meeting had been rescheduled to October,
thus there would be no need to reschedule the Budget Workshop Schedule. This has been placed
here for continuity).
The above MOTION WAS RESCINDED and replaced by the succeeding Motion.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by

Administrator Baird reviewed his memorandum dated May 9, 2007, and
recommended that the Board set a cap for Children’s Services funding at $1.1 million for the
Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Budget, with a second alternative of capping at $1 million dollars, if
warranted.
Commissioner O’Bryan, liaison to the Children’s Services Advisory Committee,
spoke about the wide range of children who are serviced through this funding. He stated that
Children’s Services provides a good accountability of the money.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O’Bryan,
SECONDED by Chairman Wheeler, to approve Option 1,
setting a cap for Children’s Services funding at $1.1 million
for the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Budget.
Vice Chair Bowden asked if the Board wanted to include verbiage in the Motion
regarding the additional option of reducing the cap to $1 million. Commissioner O’Bryan
responded that although Children’s Services is aware that they may have to tighten their budgets,
he would like to keep the Motion with the $1.1 Million cap.
Chairman Wheeler asked Administrator Baird to look into the feasibility of sending
a delegation of Commissioners and designated staff to the Special Legislative Session in
May 15, 2007 13
Tallahassee to let the State know how strongly their decisions impact local government.
Administrator Baird was asked to provide input on this at the next meeting.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion
carried unanimously. The Board approved to set a cap for
Children’s Services funding at $1.1 million for the Fiscal
Year 2007-2008 Budget.

Chief of Environmental Planning Roland DeBlois stated that County Environmental
Planning & St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) staff had attended a County
Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) meeting in October 2006 to discuss abandoned and/or
leaky artesian wells that are often found on new development sites and their potential impacts to
the shallow aquifer.
Mr. DeBlois disclosed that since 1989 there has been a well plugging partnership
between the St. Johns River Water Management District and Indian River County. He advised
that there was concern with active wells possibly being corroded below ground level, and that a
capped well could possibly be leaking and leading to salt water intrusion. Mr. DeBlois supported
the AAC’s recommendation for the Commission to direct staff to maintain and to try to enhance its
diligence in identifying and controlling artesian wells found on development sites.
May 15, 2007 14
Commissioner Davis, Liaison to the AAC, stated that the St. John’s River Water
Management District keeps an inventory of well permits, so the County knows where the wells are.
He declared that this provides a simple process to look at wells that have been permitted, to
identify those no longer in use, and to dispose of them properly.
Vice Chair Bowden wanted to know how many wells in Indian River County were
permitted, to which Mr. DeBlois responded approximately 2,000 wells, some of which have been
capped and abandoned.
Robert Adair
, Chairman of the AAC, recapped a letter he had given the Board
(copy on file), addressed to Bob Bruce, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z).
The letter outlined the possibility for cost share funding from the St. John’s Water River District to
obtain a Mobile Irrigation Lab and Well Monitoring Network that would help identify and fix
leaking wells. He provided information regarding existing leaking wells and referred to County
Code, Section 931.09, Artesian Flow Wells, which specifies that artesian flow wells may not be
used to recharge new artificially created surface water bodies.
Bob Johnson
, Coral Winds Subdivision, wondered if the County was trying to
eliminate artesian wells and go to reuse water. He asked the Board to provide clarification, and
conveyed that the Board does not necessarily need to accept the cost share program.
Administrator Baird advocated sending SJWMD a resolution asking them for
additional assistance.
Dr. Richard Baker
inquired about having a County Workshop on water use in
April. Utilities Director Erik Olson said he was working on it.
May 15, 2007 15
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner O’Bryan, the Board unanimously accepted
the Agricultural Advisory Committee’s recommendation
and directed staff to continue its diligence in requiring the
identification and plugging of abandoned artesian flow
wells on development sites, as recommended in the
memorandum of May 8, 2007.

UNRISE UBDIVISION LAT
Planning Director Stan Boling displayed a map showing the Sunrise Subdivision
Plat and recapped his memorandum regarding Sunrise Vero Beach, LLC’s request to vacate the
Plat. He recommended that the Board approve the Plat vacation request because (1) the
resolution would keep the County from having to assume the obligation of having improvements
completed, and (2) it would allow a second developer, such as Habitat for Humanity, to come in
and pick up the project.
Commissioner Davis asked whether this resolution would help or hinder Habitat for
Humanity. Director Boling believed it would help them.
Commissioner O’Bryan wanted to know if the Plat would fall under the County’s
new small lot subdivision regulations. Director Boling answered “no” the Preliminary Plat would
be valid until November 20, 2008. Commissioner O’Bryan was concerned that a developer
might construct large houses on the small lots. Mr. Boling felt that if Habitat for Humanity,
seemingly the only interested party, eventually builds, the subdivision should comply with current
regulations.
May 15, 2007 16
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner O’Bryan, the Board unanimously approved
Resolution 2007-050
, providing for the vacation of Sunrise
Subdivision, said land lying in Indian River County,
Florida.

Commissioner Davis asked Chairman of the ACC, Robert Adair, to discuss the
Committee’s recommendation regarding reuse water for agricultural purposes outside the urban
service area.
Mr. Adair told the Board that it was important to lessen the County’s use of deep
water from the Florida Aquifer. He mentioned that during periods of drought and freeze, due to a
diminishing of artesian pressure, the denser saltier water lying deeper in the aquifer starts to come
towards the surface. He thought it was important to provide another source of water (reuse water)
in order to sustain agricultural operations outside the County. He encouraged the Board to listen
to the recommendations made by the Indian River Soil and Water Conservation District
(IRSWCD) as outlined in the letter provided to the Board (see page 144 of the backup).
The Commissioners posed several questions to staff regarding reuse water, the cost,
and the use for agricultural purposes.
