Indian River County Florida Page 9
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 21, 2017
13.A 17-0190 Fellsmere Water Control District Interlocal Agreement for Maintaining
Unpaved Roads
Recommended Action: The County Attorney's Office recommends that the Board provide guidance as to
the provision concerning additional roadways and the language on drainage
responsibilities in the proposed Third Amendment. The County Attorney's Office
does not recommend agreeing to the proposed drainage language, which would
either cause the County to flood adjacent property owners or construct expensive
stormwater treatment facilities.
Attachments: Staff Report
3rd Amended Fellsmere WCD Interlocal Agreement Maintaining
Unpaved Roads
County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided background concerning the maintenance
of unpaved roads within the Fellsmere Water Control District (FWCD). He stated
that the County and FWCD have reached an impasse regarding the issue of
drainage, and recommended that Fellsmere residents with concerns should attend
the Drainage District meeting that is being held on March 9, 2017, at 109 N.
Willow Street, Fellsmere.
Chairman Flescher recalled the June 27, 2016 Workshop held at Fellsmere City
Hall, concerning the maintenance of the unpaved roads. He felt that it was the
consensus of the Board that the issue of grading the roads had been resolved, and
that the grading of the roads would begin shortly thereafter. He stated that the
constraints and legal arguments that have ensued since that time were not
anticipated, and have created more liability for both the County and the land
owners.
Commissioner Solari echoed Chairman Flescher's comments, as he also felt that the
discussions in Fellsmere had resulted in agreements on a number of items from
both sides. He expressed his disappointment about the fact that the County
Attorney's office drafted an Agreement which closely reflected those discussions
held at the meeting, but that upon the return of the draft Agreement from the
attorney for the FWCD, it looked as though the document had been totally
re -negotiated in FWCD's favor. He felt that FWCD will continue to have significant
problems as long as there is a conflict between what the large landowners want for
their future in the District and the needs and desires of the citizens actually living in
the District.
Rodney Tillman, Superintendent of Plant and Operations, Fellsmere Water Control
District, stated that he had been given direction by the FWCD Board to relay that
the 1975 Agreements had not been broken, and that it was the desire of the FWCD
Board for the County to continue to maintain the roads as stated in the 1975
Agreement until such time as legislation to extend the life of the District is
resolved.
Indian River County Florida Page 10
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 21, 2017
Commissioner Solari inquired as to whether the FWCD was seeking to renew the
Interlocal Agreement or seeking to become an Improvement District, and
questioned whether it would be a good time to terminate the existence of the Water
Control District and turn over those functions to the County or the City depending
on where the geographical line is. Mr. Tillman clarified that the FWCD was
currently seeking to renew the Agreement, and was unsure if they would make an
attempt to become an Improvement District in the future.
Discussions ensued at great length amongst the Board, the Public Works
Department, and Mr. Tillman about flooding issues, drainage responsibilities, and
the concerns about the substantial cost to design and construct a stormwater
treatment facility, if FWCD does not agree to provide drainage.
Commissioners voiced their frustrations about not being able to get the situation
resolved. Commissioner Adams expressed her concerns over the residents that have
been put on notice by the Post Office that their mail would not continue to be
delivered, and about situations with Waste Management Recycling trucks that have
gotten stuck because of the condition of the roads. Chairman Flescher stated that
since the District was established when horse and wagon was the main mode of
transportation, it may be time to revisit the 99 Year Agreement. He said that if the
District does not have the funding or the ability to handle the problem, it may be
time for the County to take over in its own capacity.
John Pulver, 93rd Street, Fellsmere Farms, expressed his frustrations about the road
he lives on and his recent experience with an uncomfortable ambulance ride to get
to the hospital because of the condition of his road. It was his belief that it was the
County's obligation to get the problem solved, and all he wanted was to get his road
graded to allow him access to his home.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan suggested that the County keep grading the roads as usual,
and let the drainage problems be the responsibility of the Drainage District. County
Attorney Reingold offered possible solutions for the secondary drainage problem,
and explained the potential liability issues that the County could face as a result of
grading the roads and flooding the adjacent private property.
Joel Tyson, Mayor of Fellsmere, commented that the City of Fellsmere had
experienced flooding problems on Broadway Street, but since the closing of Berry
Groves, it was no longer an issue. He stated that the City of Fellsmere originally got
involved with the flooding and drainage problems through the property owner's
association to champion for the property owners on South Willow Street and the
"Circle Z" areas. He felt the original mistake was made when the permits were
issued for those areas without the thought of the road issues as more homes were
built. He expressed appreciation to the Board for their efforts and felt that, if it was
explained properly, the residents would accept the increase in taxes and the
flooding of their property as a result of grading of the roads.

Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 21, 2017
A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to
approve: (1) the use of budgeted funds in the amount of $210,925 for the purchase of
material and the grading of the roadways in Fellsmere; and (2) approve the proposed
Third Amended and Restated Fellsmere Water Control District -Indian River County
Interlocal Agreement, as presented. The motion carried by the following vote:

Nay: 2- Vice Chairman O'Bryan, and Commissioner Solari
13.13 17-0207 House Bill 17
Attachments: Staff Report
HB 17
County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided an update and expressed his concerns
about House Bill 17, as it would create a significant limitation on local government
Home Rule Powers. He stated that this Bill prohibits local governments from
imposing regulations on businesses, professions and occupations after January 1,
2017, preempting the regulation of businesses, professions, and occupations to the
State. He said that there was a grandfather clause for regulations adopted prior to
January 1, 2017, but it will expire on January 1, 2020. This would affect the
County's ability to regulate adult entertainment and nightclubs, and would affect
local Ordinances dealing with pain management and fracking. The Bill has been
referred to two House Committees, with the first meeting to be held with the
Careers and Competitions Subcommittee on February 22, 2017, and will move on
to the Commerce Committee, if it passes. He felt this Bill was a direct threat to
Home Rule Authority, and said he would relay any of the Board's comments to
Tallahassee.
