After the Motion, Commissioner Zorc suggested staff take
samples each month, so next year they can see the difference in

Director Chris Mora replied that staff anticipated that it will be
some time before service to the canals is reinstalled, and staff
plans to take random samples weekly starting the week of June
1st.
In addition, Chairman O'Bryan asked the Board to consider if
they wished to participate in the bumper sticker campaign
initiated by the Indian River Neighborhood Association (IRNA),
emphasizing that June 1St is the blackout period. He understood
the IRNA is purchasing 500 stickers, costing approximately $300,
and asked the Board to consider purchasing additional stickers
to help educate the public.
Discussion ensued among the Board regarding the cost.
Dan Lamson, representative of the Indian River Neighborhood
Association, said he would verify the quality of the stickers,
because they have not come out of production yet, but he quoted
the cost to be 1,000 stickers at $350.00, and for up to 5,000
stickers, the cost is $ 23 apiece.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Flescher, SECONDED by
Chairman O'Bryan, the Board unanimously approved to order

a.m. (memorandum dated May 14, 2014)
93-97
Chairman O'Bryan requested the Board to consider applying to
the Federal Railroad Agency (FRA) to be a "Cooperating
Agency" in regards to the draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the All Aboard Florida (AAF) high-speed rail.
MOTION WAS MADE Commissioner Flescher, SECONDED by
Chairman O'Bryan, to apply for "Cooperating Agency" with the
Federal Railroad Agency (FRA).
Phil Matson, MPO Director, understood that to be designated a
Cooperating Agency you have to have some regulatory or unique
oversight of the local conditions. He felt we do have a unique
historical insight, and he stated maybe that will be enough for us
to qualify. He said the primary benefit is that it will give us a
little bit of advance notice.
Chairman O'Bryan asked the County Attorney to get together
with Phil Matson and create a letter to the Federal Railroad
Agency requesting Indian River County to be a "Cooperating
Agency".
