Draft Biosolids Moratorium Ordinance
County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided the background regarding the land
spreading of Class B biosolids, which led to the July 17, 2018 adoption of an
ordinance establishing a 180 -day temporary moratorium to prohibit land
application activities in the unincorporated areas of Indian River County. On
January 8, 2019, an ordinance was adopted to extend the moratorium, and

been supportive of the County's efforts, and that the City of Fellsmere is
considering adopting a similar ordinance.
Commissioner O'Bryan inquired from Director of Utility Services Vincent
Burke about the strength of the rule making being proposed by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to amend the Florida
Administrative Code. Director Burke confirmed that staff would be attending

of the County.
Chairman Solari opened the Public Hearing.
Dan Lamson, Executive Director of the Indian River Neighborhood Association
and Board Member of the Clean Water Coalition of Indian River County,

Adams, to adopt Ordinance 2019-012, authorizing an extension of the temporary
moratorium for an additional 180 days, or until a comprehensive review of the
impact on the County's ecosystem is completed, within the unincorporated areas
of Indian River County prohibiting land application activities of Class B biosolids;
providing for additional study and possible regulation of Class B biosolids
application activities; providing for exhaustion of administrative remedies; and
providing for severability, repeal of conflicting provisions, and an effective date.

stores, and allow for the sale/adoption of dogs and cats coming to retail
locations from shelters or rescue organizations. He clarified that the proposed
ordinance language mimics an ordinance previously adopted in Seminole
County, and made mention that there were currently no pet stores selling
puppies or kittens in Indian River County.
Chairman Solari opened the Public Hearing.
Nicole Capobianco, 7065 21st St SW, thanked staff and the Board for their help
to insure that families will not have to experience what she went through after
purchasing a sick puppy from a local pet store two years prior.
Ilka Daniel, Director of Animal Protective Services, Humane Society of Vero
Beach/Indian River County, thanked the Board and Ms. Capobianco for
bringing the item forward. She referred to the proposed ordinance as

puppies born in a puppy mill, purchased locally, and was fortunate to have
survived.
JoAnn Hall, 1869 Grey Falcon Circle SW, conveyed her appreciation to the
Board regarding the proposed Ordinance.

eliminate the distribution of unhealthy, weakened animals.
Commissioner O'Bryan spoke on the ordinance wording with regard to banning
the sale of dogs and cats at establishments that are either permanent, temporary
or virtual. He provided his opinion that the County had to take action,
although issuing a retail -related ban is not something that the Board typically
gets involved in.

Adams, to adopt Ordinance 2019-014, amending Chapter 302 of the Code of
Indian River County, Florida, entitled "Retail sale of dogs and cats"; and

(Clerk's Note: The item was heard following the 1:00 p.m. time -certain Item
12.D.1., and is placed here for continuity.)
Through the use of a PowerPoint Presentation, Community Development
Director Stan Boling provided a recap of the March 5, 2019 meeting when
citizens Spencer Simmons and Tim Campbell addressed the Board with their
concerns regarding Caribbean Lawn and Landscaping, a landscaping services
business located at 7120 37th Street in an A-1 agricultural use zone. Director
Boling explained that the consensus of the Board was for staff to research
possible modifications to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to
potentially balance agriculture and commercial business in agricultural areas.
In his presentation, Director Boling included the 2030 Indian River County
Future Land Use Map and addressed land use conflicts, permitting procedures,
and "accessory use" factors. Environmental Planning and Code Enforcement
Chief Roland DeBlois offered an overview of the businesses in the A-1
agricultural zone. Director Boling pointed out that staff researched the existing
and potential LDRs of Brevard, Martin, Osceola, St. Lucie and Palm Beach
Counties, and provided the Board with a proposed draft ordinance that could be
used as a pending ordinance during the formal LDR amendment process. He
explained that if the Board declared the draft ordinance to be in effect during
the formal code amendment process, it would apply to any newly established
landscaping services business and any new expansion or changes to an existing
business that is zoned in A-1, A-2 or A-3 agricultural areas.
Commissioner O'Bryan received clarification from Director Boling about
mowing and trimming being listed as an accessory to a nursery business and
inquired on the criteria of a legally established nursery.
Indian River County Florida Page 12
Board of County Commissioners
Meeting Minutes - Final June 18, 2019
Commissioner Zorc mentioned growing and harvesting in a facility, of which
Director Boling categorized as a farm rather than a nursery where the plants are
grown to be sold.
Commissioner Flescher noted reasons for not being supportive of adding
restrictions to the current LDRs, and expressed his opinion regarding people
who move into an area zoned for agriculture, and then complain about the
activities surrounding them.
Vice Chairman Adams, who mentioned that she agreed with Commissioner
Flescher, stated that the nursery employees sometimes do maintenance work for
their customers.
Tim Campbell, 7330 37th Street, stated that he has lived at his address for 20
years, and provided his opinion of the inconvenience caused by the new
business.
Amy Simmons, 7250 37th Street, responded to Commissioner Flescher's
comment, and stated that she was not in favor of the language used in the
proposed ordinance.
Ken Hendrix, 6220 1st Street SW, offered his opinion that the proposed
ordinance would not solve the problem that had been presented to the Board,
but was supportive of approving it on a pending basis to allow for a complete
review of the LDRs.
Sandy Hall, 7080 57th Street, commented that she has had a registered nursery
on her property for more than 20 years. She questioned the word "Accessory"
as it is used in the proposed ordinance.
George Bartosch, 6420 37th Street, explained that he is the owner of Treasure
Coast Turf and Trees, which is strictly a wholesale nursery located on seven (7)
acres. Director Boling confirmed that Mr. Bartosch's business would be
grandfathered in.
Jodi Velde, 330 53rd Circle, owner of Tropical Property Management, 6300 1st
Street SW, provided her opinion that the proposed changes to the draft
ordinance offered no protection for established business owners.
Peter Robinson, 315 Greytwig Road, stated his concern that all landscape
company owners were not notified of the proposed ordinance, and that he felt
more time was needed to research the future uses of agricultural land.

Meeting Minutes - Final June 18, 2019
Vice Chairman Adams suggested that the Agriculture Advisory Committee
(AAC) should look at the topic and provide feedback and recommendations.
She clarified that the AAC's recommendations would go before the Planning
and Zoning Board, allowing for public input, prior to returning to a future
County Commission meeting, which will also allow for public input.
Discussion ensued amongst the Board and the County Attorney regarding the
draft ordinance being approved as a pending ordinance while proceeding with
the formal LDR amendment adoption process.
Brian Stolze, owner of Caribbean Lawn and Landscaping, 7120 37th Street,
addressed the Board and responded to some of the comments that had been
made. He explained his life-long residency of Vero Beach, his concern for the
roads, the consideration towards the neighbors that he demands from his
employees, and the time it will take to get his business where he wants it to be.
Todd Thompson, 7065 37th Street, spoke regarding the County approving Brian
Stolze's building permit application, stamped in May 2018, and his opinion that
Mr. Stolze did not comply with what he stated on his application. Mr.
Thompson was in favor of the AAC providing feedback on the draft ordinance.
Chairman Solari suggested that anyone who had interest in the matter and
wanted to stay involved/informed should provide Director Boling in
Community Development with their name and email address.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Adams, seconded by Commissioner
Flescher, to direct the Agriculture Advisory Committee to look at the proposed
draft ordinance, including all agricultural land conflicts and uses, to offer their
recommendation, then to present the recommendation to the Planning and
Zoning Board for a Public Hearing and their recommendation before returning to
the Commission for a Public Hearing and Board approval. The motion carried
by the following vote:
Aye: 5 - Chairman Solari, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner Flescher, Commissioner
O'Bryan, and Commissioner Zorc

Commissioners approve, effective with the plan year beginning October 1,
2019, the County offer a Premier Silver Plan and Premier Gold Plan, at the
premium amounts stated to eligible employees and retirees, and implement the
pharmacy Clinical Advantage Program - Standard Program to manage
pharmacy costs.
Attachments: Staff Report
Human Resources Director Suzanne Boyll utilized a PowerPoint Presentation to
detail the rising healthcare costs, to explain how the County and Constitutional
Officers' employee and retiree healthcare and pharmacy benefits plan was
funded, and to provide the proposed changes to the benefits and premiums,
effective October 1, 2019. She highlighted the newly introduced Premier
Silver Plan and the changes to the current Premier Gold Plan, noting that both
proposed options would include the same Florida Blue Options network and the
same pharmacy network as in the past. In addition, Director Boyll confirmed
that employee informational meetings were held the previous week, as directed
by the Board on June 4, 2019.
Director Boyll then spoke on consumerism, which puts the responsibility of
searching for the lowest cost for treatment on the member. She provided some
statistics with regard to claim history and reviewed a chart that compared the
proposed monthly premiums for Indian River County employees to the monthly
premiums being paid by other area City, County, and School Board employees.
Director Boyll went on to provide information on the Pharmacy Clinical
Advantage Program, making note that RxBenefits is the County's prescription
benefit administrator.
Commissioner O'Bryan received clarification from Shrina Amin of RxBenefits
regarding Formulary Optimization, a money -saving tool that excludes low
clinical value drugs from being covered, and inquired about the list of
alternative drugs that Ms. Amin stated would work as well, if not better, than
the excluded drugs.

Meeting Minutes - Final June 18, 2019
Commissioner O'Bryan and Director Boyll shared their personal experiences
related to consumerism, and agreed that the members need to be educated on
the best way to save money. Chairman Solari mentioned the possibility of
changes that could result from the hospital being sold to Cleveland Clinic. He
also inquired about a pricing tool or "member's app" that would provide pricing
information to the consumer. Ms. Amin confirmed that Express Scripts does
have an "app" for members to download.
County Administrator Jason Brown stated his opinion regarding the difficulty in
trying to be a good consumer, making note that he felt the health insurance
companies designed the system to be complex for their own financial benefit.
Commissioner Flescher spoke regarding his concern for Formulary
Optimization, how offering in -network benefits to out -of -State users increase
the cost of the plan, and the high dollar claim review program process for
pharmacy claims over $1000. Ms. Amin provided clarification of the high
dollar claim review process, stating that 90% of prescriptions are processed
digitally, appearing seamless to members.
Commissioner O'Bryan inquired and received feedback from Administrator
Brown regarding the establishment of a floor and a ceiling on the reserve funds
account, as mentioned earlier by Steve Myers, Teamsters Local 769.
Discussion followed among the Board and Director Boyll regarding returning
premiums, rising healthcare costs and the impact of large claims.
Sheriff Deryl Loar acknowledged the rising healthcare cost, but objected to
staff comparing member premiums with area entities who pay their employees
a higher salary.
The following individuals addressed the Board, Administrator Brown and
Director Boyll to discuss their concerns related to the rising healthcare costs
and employee/retiree contributions, and to ask questions or offer suggestions
that could assist in reducing the cost of healthcare expenses.

Meeting Minutes - Final June 18, 2019
In response to comments directed to staff, Administrator Brown detailed a
suggested two (2) year phase-in of the employee contribution amount, which
was followed by discussion among the Board. He continued with the
reasoning behind the reserve account policy, the difficulty with increasing the
employer contribution, and provided clarification to retirees on the plan.
The Chairman called for a recess at 3:18 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at
3:33 p.m., with all members present.
Following the recess, individuals provided comments and concerns regarding
alternative medications for medical necessities, employee premium increases,

Detective Bob Sunkel, Sheriffs Department employee
Deputy Jessica Ogonoski, Sheriffs Department employee

Ms. Amin responded to concerns regarding alternative medications and the
appeals/approval process. Director Boyll confirmed that prior to the October
1, 2019 effective date, Rx Benefits would be sending letters to impacted
members so that they could formulate alternatives with their doctors. She also
stated that a "grace fill" emergency benefit would be in place. In response to
an inquiry from Commissioner O'Bryan, Ms. Amin explained that the
prescription approval/preauthorization process typically would need to be
updated annually with select medications requiring quarterly approvals, and
that subsequent approvals would be a simpler, more streamlined process.
Administrator Brown offered support for Formulary Optimization, and
explained that programs such as this were added to keep future costs and
premiums under control. He also provided clarification to questions regarding
stop -loss coverage, exploring the option of a different provider, and
self -funding. He made it clear that 100% of the employee/employer
contributions and all rebates received go back into the plan.
Constitutional Officer Jeffrey R. Smith, Clerk of the Circuit Court and
Comptroller, commended staff and the Board on their management of the
healthcare crisis. He stated his opinion that the two (2) year phase-in of
premium increases would be most helpful to his employees.

Meeting Minutes - Final June 18, 2019
Sheriff Loar again addressed the Board to recommend that the Premier Gold
Plan remain the only benefit plan offered to all employees. He received
options relating to the two (2) year phase-in from Administrator Brown.
Administrator Brown agreed to a request from Bruce Anderson that Director
Boyll could provide him with the Other Post -Employment Benefits (OPEB)
contribution numbers from 2010 through 2018.
Commissioner O'Bryan spoke in favor of the two (2) year phase-in of employee
premium increases with a warning that the second year could result in
additional increases. Commissioner Zorc suggested that staff make available
the quarterly account balance of the reserves fund to all employees.
A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Chairman Solari, to:
1) approve staffs recommendation with a two (2) year phase-in of the employee
premiums; and 2) direct staff to make the quarterly account balance of the
reserves fund available to all Indian River County employees and Constitutional
Officers. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 4 - Chairman Solari, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner O'Bryan, and
Commissioner Zorc
Nay: 1 - Commissioner Flescher
Following the motion, Chairman Solari spoke on directing Administrator
Brown to assist Director Boyll in educating participants on technology and
consumerism to help alleviate the rising cost of health care. He introduced the
idea that the County would possibly need to add another staff member to assist
Director Boyll.
Vice Chairman Adams requested and received clarification from the Chairman
and Administrator Brown regarding adding additional staff, if needed.
Director Boyll explained that there were leverage resources and partnerships to
explore that could offer assistance. She also spoke of a concierge service that
could assist members in need of direction related to medical decisions. She
went on to say that staff would move forward in the most cost effective manner
to provide the best service to the employees and members, and would do their
best to keep premium increases at a minimum.

Staff learned that there were "Approved for Construction Plans" from Virgin
Trains/All Aboard Florida (AAF) dated February 13, 2019 that had never been

staff also had not received responses from AAF regarding the construction plan
review comments that were submitted to them on August 15, 2016 and October
10, 2018.
Director Szpyrka spoke on the FDOT site visit, a letter that County staff sent to
Gerard O'Rourke, Freight, Logistics and Passenger Operations Administrator
for FDOT, and a roundtable meeting that was held in St. Lucie County. With
regard to the FDOT site visit, Director Szpyrka was confident that the FDOT
was working on their list of comments and concerns, and that staff was
expecting to receive feedback in the near future. He mentioned that the next
meeting with AAF has been scheduled for July 2019, and County staff was
hoping to be included in "engineer to engineer" discussions with the railway
design engineers for AAF.
Director Szpyrka stated that he was recently informed that the City of Vero
Beach has been in contact with AAF in an effort to work together to replace the
signal at 26th Street. He then used a PowerPoint Presentation to highlight the
County's safety and traffic congestion concerns.

from Director Szpyrka as to whether FDOT was fully engaged with the
County's concerns.

crosswalks, and the topic of sealed corridors with fencing. Director Szpyrka
provided his opinion that sealed corridors were the most effective way to
protect people.
County Administrator Jason Brown provided feedback from the site visit he had
attended with the FDOT staff. He recalled that FDOT agreed with the
County's safety concerns, that they would encourage improvements, and that
the FDOT felt they did not have the authority to regulate safety requirements.

Prudom clarified that he would be working with the State to change the

devices to young adults. Ms. Leslie Spurlock, who addressed the Board in
Item 10.B.1., suggested that a local tobacco licensing/permitting fee should
cover the costs of policing the underage sales. Chairman Solari disagreed.
Discussion ensued amongst the Board with the consensus being that it would be
a very costly endeavor for the County to police the underage sale of nicotine
passwordrelated products when it is the responsibility of the State.

County should get involved if the State would not, and he agreed with the
majority of his fellow Commissioners that additional research by the County
