13. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS
13.A 17-0085 Amending the 2017 State Legislative Program to Include Legislation
Relating to the Florida Building Commission to the County's List of
Concerns
Recommended Action: The County Attorney's Office recommends that the Board of County
Commissioners amend the 2017 State Legislative Program to oppose any
legislation which would change the Florida Building Code to negatively impact a
local government's ability to receive federal emergency funding in the event there is
a natural disaster.
Attachments: Staff Report
Proposed Committee Bill 7000
Assistant County Attorney Kate Pingolt Cotner spoke about proposed Senate Bill
7000, which is currently in the Florida Legislature, that would remove a
requirement from the Florida Building Code. She voiced concerns about the
negative impact it could have on local government, and the unintended
consequences to Indian River County. She requested that the Board monitor and
add this item to the County's List of Concerns.
Building Official Scott McAdam provided background, and explained how the
proposed Bill would not use the base of the "International Building Code", but
rather the base of the 6th edition of the "Florida Building Code" for the foundation
of development updates. He expressed his concerns over the proposal, and
encouraged the Board to not support the change and to stay involved.
County Administrator Jason Brown pointed out that staff was not trying to oppose
the Bill, but ensure that it would not endanger the flood rating, Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) funding, or the Insurance Service Office (ISO)
ratings. He said the amendment to the 2017 State Legislative program will give
staff the ability to make recommendations for improving the Bill.
The Board sought further details from staff, and voiced their opinions about putting
this item on a "heavy watch list".
A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to
direct staff to add Senate Bill 7000 to the County's List of Concerns, and monitor its
status as it moves through the legislative process, so it does not negatively impact
Indian River County. The motion carried by the following vote:

17-0098 14.E.1. Alliance Bioenergy Post Process Yard Waste
Commissioner Zorc recapped his memorandum dated January 23, 2017,
regarding Alliance BioEnergy +, Inc.'s (Alliance BioEnergy) offer to purchase
the former Indian River BioEnergy Center, operated by INEOS New Planet
BioEnergy, LLC (INEOS). He outlined the current interim Agreement with
INEOS and the proposed 90 -day Option Agreement with Alliance BioEnergy
for processed vegetative waste. He requested staff to draft the Agreement and
bring it back to the February 7, 2017 Board of County Commission meeting
with the following conditions: (1) there would be no fee or charge associated
with the yard waste; (2) no guarantee for the quality or quantity of the post
process yard waste; and (3) the County would keep a percentage of the yard
waste.
Daniel de Liege, President and CEO of Alliance BioEnergy +, Inc., conveyed
that his company has the exclusive world-wide license for the patented process
that was developed and also owned by the University of Central Florida. He
said his company was currently negotiating the purchase of the INEOS site, and
as part of their funding package, they need to secure the feedstock for that
location, as well as seek an option for the processed material.
Commissioner Zorc reiterated that Alliance BioEnergy was not asking for
financial contributions or looking for anything definitive at this time, only a
consensus or motion that would direct staff to create a 90 -day Option
Agreement that addresses the processed yard waste.
Commissioner Adams agreed with the proposal, but expressed concern over the
request being rushed on today's Agenda as an emergency item, with minimal
Backup information.
Indian River County Florida Page 10
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 24, 2017
Mr. de Liege explained that this item had come to the Board as an emergency
item because his financiers needed a commitment for the property purchase.
County Attorney Dylan Reingold said he would work with Mr. de Liege to
incorporate the items in the Backup into a 90 -day Option Agreement, and bring
it back to the next Board meeting.
Administrator Brown requested the new Agreement to include that in the event
of a hurricane, the County will retain the right to utilize other methods of
disposal for processed vegetative waste. He mentioned that Alliance
BioEnergy has been attempting to acquire the site through their bank, and
elaborated on why it would be a win-win to continue with the Request for
Proposal (RFP).
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, agreed with Commissioner Adams'
concern over the lack of Backup information and bringing it to the Board as an
emergency item. He encouraged the Board to ensure that the drinking water at
the site is safe before moving forward.
Mr. de Liege explained the process of the technology, and conveyed that his
company would not be producing waste, using the well, or putting anything into
the ground, water, or air.
A motion was made by Commissioner Zorc, seconded by Commissioner Solari,
to direct staff to draft a 90 -day Option Agreement that includes the conditions
contained in the January 23, 2017 memorandum, as follows: (1) no fee or charge
will be associated with yard waste; (2) no guarantee for the quality or quantity of
the post process yard waste; (3) the County will keep a percentage of the yard
waste; (4) in the event of a hurricane, the County will retain the right to utilize
other methods of disposal of processed vegetative waste; and (4) the proposed
Agreement will be brought back to the Board of County Commission meeting on
February 7, 2017. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 5- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams,

Lease Agreement
Resolution
Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal disclosed that the Indian River County
Historical Society, Inc. (Historical Society) had approached staff about
recreating the fire lookout tower located at 43rd Avenue and 4th Street into a
historic exhibit. He provided the history regarding the Indian River County
Emergency Services District's 4 -acre property, and said that under the terms of
the Project Grant from the Division of Historical Resources - Florida
Department of State, the District and the Historical Society must enter into a
Lease Agreement with the County for the use of the tower, office/accessory
building, and parking area. He also described the conditions of the Lease and
recommended the Board's approval.
Emergency Services Fire Chief John King supported staffs recommendation to
approve the Lease with the Historical Society.
Ruth Stanbridge, Indian River County Historical Society, provided background
on the fire tower and radio shack. She said the Historical Society considered
the opportunity to make the tower a future community restoration,
rehabilitation, and historical project. The Historical Society believed the
County had disconnected the power source, water, and septic services during
the construction of Fire Station 13 and/or when 43rd Avenue was widened, and
requested that the connections be put back in place. She also pointed out that
the security fence had been removed after a car accident, and asked if the
County could replace it. She conveyed that the Grant for the project was
written to cover the interior wiring, plumbing, new roof, parking area, and the
necessary building materials for the radio shack. She spoke about the
partnership with the Amateur Radio Club, and informed the Board that after the
restoration, the radio club would bring their workshop to the radio building and
open it up to visitors. She reiterated that Grant monies cannot be used for
infrastructure, and requested $4,000 from the Board to assist with financing the
infrastructure so the project can move forward. She informed the Board that
there was a time constraint to move this forward because the quarterly report is
due at the end of the month, and the Historical Society is required to release the
funds back to Tallahassee or move the project forward.
Indian River County Florida Page 12
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 24, 2017
Discussion ensued regarding insurance coverage and limitations; other County
Leases; and the Historical Society not moving forward with the project unless
the infrastructure is replaced.
Commissioners O'Bryan and Solari felt that expenses should be borne by
non -profits, not taxpayers.
A motion was made by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, to approve the
Lease with the Historical Society for the fire tower parcel.
The Commissioners voiced their comments and concerns.
Dwight Baker, Vero Beach Amateur Radio Club Representative, expressed the
importance of the Club during emergencies and hurricanes, and urged the Board
to support the Historical Society's infrastructure funding request.
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, questioned whether Emergency Services
District funds could/should be used to help support the Historical Society's
efforts.
Chairman Flescher said he wanted to continue with the Florida Power and Light
meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 26, 2017, and leave the window of
opportunity open for a possible reconsideration of the Lease Agreement.
An amended motion was made by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Vice
Chairman O'Bryan, to approve: (1) the Lease Agreement with the Historical
Society for the Fire Tower Parcel, incorporating the following items: (a) access
to the wireless internet connection; (b) reducing costs for the initial potable water
hookup/meter fees and monthly recurring costs for the Ranger House; (c)
attaching the waterline on the District's side of the water meter, as use is limited
to inside the Ranger House bathroom, for a de minimis monthly cost; (d)
attaching a small buried wastewater tank for the Ranger House with a scheduled
pump -out routine; and (e) installing the perimeter fence that was damaged near
the Ranger House; and (2) Resolution 2017-006, Emergency Services District
