A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY,
FLORIDA, APPROVING ADOPT A ROADWAY AND
ADOPT A STORMWATER PARK PROGRAMS AND
AUTHORIZING THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO
ENTER INTO AGREEMENTS FOR THOSE
PROGRAMS
WHEREAS, the Indian River County Public Works Department has administered
the Adopt -A -Road program since 1993, whereby various civic groups, churches,
educational organizations, individuals and homeowner's associations have volunteered
to pick up litter along County maintained collector and arterial roadways; and
WHEREAS, in exchange for voluntary litter pick up, the County fabricates and
installs signs bearing the name of the volunteer group at the adopted 1 -mile stretch of
roadway and supplies the necessary safety equipment for the groups; and
WHEREAS, currently there are approximately 30 roadway locations adopted
within the County and the estimated total cost per group is $350.00, however, that cost
is outweighed by the savings realized by the County as Public Works employees can
dedicate time to tasks other than litter control; and
WHEREAS, there are three new organizations interested in adopting a roadway
and one group seeking to adopt a Stormwater Park in Indian River County; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires to encourage participation in the Adopt a
Roadway and Adopt a Stormwater Park in order to keep these communities free of litter
and to instill pride in neighborhoods.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA:
1. The Board hereby approves the addition of Adopt a Stormwater Park to the
Adopt a Roadway program.
2. The Public Works Director is hereby authorized to enter into agreements on
behalf of the Board with interested individuals and organizations for the Adopt a
Roadway and Adopt a Stormwater Park programs, said agreements to be approved in
advance by the County Attorney's Office.
