He expressed his disappointment with regard to the denial, and suggested that the Board follow the recommendation of their outside counsel not to file a petition for further review.

Commissioner Solari requested and received clarification that Mr. Preschlack could provide the information to the County Attorney today. Following a request for additional information by Chairman Adams, Mr. Preschlack informed the Board that the important information, an opinion related to the recent appeal denial, came from an acquaintance of his who was a former Circuit Court Judge. Peter Seed, Indian River Shores, spoke on behalf of the Indian River Neighborhood Association, urging the Board not to abandon the USDOT lawsuit. He stated that he and Mr. Preschlack had requested the opinion of former Judge J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth District. After reading Judge Luttig's opinion that the County had a great case, Mr. Seed begged the Commission to carry on by filing a petition for a panel rehearing. Detailed discussion followed among members of the Board and Mr. Seed regarding Judge Luttig's opinion and the potential assistance that he could bring to the table. County Administrator Jason Brown reminded the Board that the County's lawsuit against the State of Florida and the focus on safety would continue.

He discussed the communication he had with the District in April 2019 to let them know that the County wanted to be involved once Windsor's application was received. Chairman Adams informed Commissioner Zorc that she felt he should have directly spoken to representatives for the applicant, Windsor. She then inquired as to County staffs opinion on the topic. Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke reviewed the timeline of events, stating that staff had been watching the web portal for a notification that Windsor had filed the CUP renewal application. He noted that the application was received by the District on December 19, 2019, which began the time frame for interested parties to make comments. The web portal was not updated until the County was on the holiday break, which gave a limited opportunity to respond as the deadline for comments was December 31, 2019.

He commented on the location of a reuse water line that was available for Windsor to tie into, noting that the County needs to find a home for their reuse water. Director Burke confirmed and clarified the issues staff has been dealing with, and he suggested drafting a mandatory Reclaimed Connection Ordinance. Vice Chairman Flescher suggested that a meeting be set with staff and representatives from the Windsor community. County Administrator Jason Brown agreed to reach out to Windsor, and to return to the Board on January 21, 2020 for further discussion. Postponed/Continued D. Commissioner Peter D. O'Bryan 14.D.1. 19-1211 Proposed Ballot Initiative Recommended Action: Discussion Attachments: Proposed Ballot Initiative Children's Trust of IRC DRAFT Referendum Children's Trust of IRC DRAFT Ordinance Children's Trust of IRC - Millage Overview & Timetable Commissioner O'Bryan outlined the purpose of the proposed Ballot Initiative, stating that community leaders had been working together over the past 18 months to pinpoint a way to add funding for services that they viewed as necessary for the quality development of children. He explained that an independent district, the Children's Trust of Indian River County (CTIRC), would be established and include a 13 -member advisory board to be appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, and that audits would be performed by the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller. Commissioner O'Bryan also clarified that funding for the CTIRC would come from a line item millage rate rather than the County's general fund that currently finances Children's Services. County Administrator Jason Brown spoke on the importance of investing in the children of Indian River County. With the aid of a PowerPoint Presentation, he provided the five (5) year funding history to confirm the County's commitment to Children's Services. He clarified that the current allocation was one-eighth of a mill, with the proposed referendum for the 2020 ballot increasing the funding to one-half of a mill using a three (3) step phase-in, and would be either open-ended or a term -specified authorization, based on the recommendation of the Board. Indian River County Florida Page 11 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 14, 2020 In addition, Administrator Brown suggested that the School District of Indian River County could assist in the funding of after-school programs. He requested direction from the Board regarding the proposed millage rate; the Advisory Board make-up, governance, and authority; and the specific Ordinance changes. Commissioner O'Bryan made mention that the community leaders working on the proposed ballot initiative had previously met with the County Administrator and County Attorney Dylan Reingold. Commissioner Solari pointed out that County taxpayers fund more for children than just the line item for the Children's Services Advisory Committee (CSAC), such as the North County Aquatics Center, the Gifford Aquatics Center, the County's Recreation Department including portions of the Intergenerational Center, and many other sports activities benefitting children in the community. He also commended County staff for their continued efforts to disperse money where it was needed. Chairman Adams opened the floor for public comment. Lisa Kahle, 6755 4th Street, representing the CTIRC, spoke in support of increasing the millage to allow for additional services for children within the County. She was in favor of additional meetings to make changes to the draft ballot language, resolution and ordinance, where necessary, as the model used was mirrored from Manatee County. Caryn Toole, 233 37th Drive SW, Indian River County Director of Communities Connected for Kids, a member of the CSAC who also served on the Grant Review Sub -Committee, spoke in support of the proposed ballot initiative. Chairman Adams inquired and received confirmation from Ms. Toole regarding the ability to effectively utilize an increase in funding for necessary Children's Services programs. Michael Kint, 6255 59th Court, CEO of the United Way of Indian River County, spoke of his involvement with the Exploratory Committee for the CTIRC. He felt it was necessary to plan for the future and to educate the public about the proposed ballot initiative. Hope Woodhouse, 199 Island Creek Drive, a member of the CSAC, including the Grant Review Sub -Committee and Chair of the Needs Assessment Sub -Committee, President of the John's Island Community Service League, and on the Exploratory Committee for the CTIRC, provided an example that additional funding was needed for the Doula Program, which supported 70 of the 200 mothers who were in need. Indian River County Florida Page 12 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 14, 2020 Bob McPartlan, Administrator of the Department of Children and Families and a member of the CSAC, discussed the generosity of the community and of the Board, and he spoke on the need for additional programs for infants. He stated the importance of being proactive, and was in support of the proposed ballot initiative. Margaret Ingram, 4125 61st Avenue, a retired teacher who spent 35 years in education, was supportive of the CTIRC and the additional programs it would provide. Commissioner O'Bryan reflected upon his appointment to the CSAC, and he detailed the process for issuing grants and assuring that the money was used as it was intended. He felt additional funding was necessary, was supportive of the CTIRC and the proposed ballot initiative, and he suggested a 15 -year authorization. A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Chairman Adams, to direct the County Attorney to: 1) draft an Ordinance and referendum to reflect the Board's discussion and to include a 15 -year authorization, and 2) to schedule a Public Hearing for adoption of the Ordinance. Commissioner Solari provided the reasons he was not in support of Commissioner O'Bryan's motion, noting changes that he felt needed to be made under the topics of Expenditures Authorized and Children's Trust Advisory Board. He suggested that the Board set up a trust with the membership to include all five (5) County Commissioners, four (4) elected officials from the Municipalities, and two (2) to four (4) other members. He stated his opinion that further review and changes were necessary prior to presenting it to the voters. Commissioner Zorc stated his interest in looking at the structuring used by neighboring counties for Children's Services funding. He also acknowledged that real estate tax increases were a concern for many people and needed to be considered. Vice Chairman Flescher thanked the Exploratory Committee for the work they have done. He spoke of the increase in program dollars that passing the ballot initiative would provide, but also mentioned the associated cost to the taxpayer. He stated that it was the Board's job to find a justifiable solution to an existing challenge, and he felt more time was needed. Chairman Adams requested clarification from Commissioner O'Bryan regarding the intent of his motion, and he verbalized his intent to have the County Attorney make the necessary document changes and bring the item back for a Indian River County Florida Page 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 14, 2020 Public Hearing. He maintained that the CTIRC Advisory Board would make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners for funding allocations, just as the CSAC does currently. Chairman Adams was in favor of an Advisory Committee structure that would include experts in the area of Children's Services. Commissioner Zorc suggested, with agreement from Vice Chairman Flescher and Administrator Brown, that a Public Workshop be scheduled to give all parties an opportunity to present and/or to have their questions answered. County Attorney Dylan Reingold clarified the action his office would be taking. Assistant County Administrator Mike Zito advised the Board that the Annual Report for Human Services, and the Funds and Needs Assessment would be presented in the near future. Chairman Adams informed Ms. Kahle and Mr. Kint that they would be included in the coordination of the Public Workshop. An amended motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Chairman Adams, to: 1) direct the County Attorney to draft an Ordinance and referendum to reflect the Board's discussion and to include a 15 -year authorization; and 2) schedule a Public Workshop to be held in the near future.
