Proposed Ordinance
Chief of Current Development Ryan Sweeney presented the Board with the
proposed Land Development Regulation (LDR) amendment to Chapter 904.05
of the Code of Indian River County, to address a unique scenario by allowing
no more than two (2) single-family homes to be constructed on a site with an
existing nonconforming communications tower. He also stated the
recommended criteria, which included a 250' minimum setback from the tower,
the meeting of all applicable zoning district requirements, and a hold harmless
agreement between the property owner and the County.
Indian River County Florida Page 6
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 19, 2021
Under Board discussion, Vice Chairman O'Bryan provided background on the
topic to Commissioners Earman and Moss as they were not members of the
Board on September 22, 2020, when the item was initially presented. He
explained that the proposed LDR amendment was a result of Mr. Jacob
Allenbaugh's appeal of a Planning and Zoning Commission decision. Mr.
Allenbaugh wished to purchase the property at 6390 77th Street for the purpose
of building two (2) single-family homes.
Commissioner Moss inquired and received clarification from Chief Sweeney
that the nonconforming communications tower, a 500' radio tower, was
approved in 1989 and built in 1990. Chief Sweeney also stated that the
ordinance amendment would only apply to approximately 10-12 sites
throughout the County, as most communication towers were conforming.
Commissioner Earman and Chairman Flescher commended all parties for
working together to find a solution that would allow the parcel of land to be
developed without disturbing the tower.
Chairman Flescher opened the public hearing.
Joseph Paladin, Chairman of the Land Use Committee for the Indian River
Neighborhood Association, spoke in support of the LDR amendment.
Mr. Allenbaugh thanked the Board for considering his request.
There being no additional speakers, Chairman Flescher closed the public
hearing.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner
Earman, to adopt Ordinance 2021-003, amending Section 904.05 (Expansion,
increase, or change of nonconformity) of Chapter 904 (Nonconformities) of the
Code of Indian River County, to allow for single family homes on certain
nonconforming properties; and providing for codification; severability; conflict of
ordinances; and effective date of the ordinance. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Aye: 5- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams,
Commissioner Earman, and Commissioner Moss

B. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS
C. PUBLIC NOTICE ITEMS
11. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR MATTERS
11.A. 21-0171 Provide Update Regarding COVID-19 Vaccinations
Recommended Action: No back-up included
County Administrator Jason Brown utilized a PowerPoint presentation to provide a
COVID-19 vaccination update. He also outlined the Governor's Executive Order
20-315, regarding the current eligibility for individuals interested in receiving the
vaccine. He provided a response to Board direction from the meeting on January
129 2021, to improve the process related to signing up for a vaccination
appointment. Administrator Brown discussed the options for manageable waitlist
software, and he stated that he had been prepared to recommend a contract with
Luminare Innoculate or Qualtrics; however, he was recently informed that the
Florida Department of Emergency Management was rolling out Sharecare, a
vaccine registration and administration program. He was unsure of the timeline or
the inclusion of a wait list component, but he made mention that staff had registered
for training and implementation of the system. He added that the support being
received from the State could be jeopardized if the County chose to use a different
registration program; he recommended using Sharecare for that reason.
Under Board discussion, each Commissioner expressed their desire to reduce the
anxiety and frustration being felt throughout the community when attempting to
register for a vaccination appointment. Chairman Flescher inquired and received
clarification from Administrator Brown regarding the short time it took to fill the
latest vaccination schedule. Vice Chairman O'Bryan was inquisitive of how
Sharecare could make the process less frustrating if it did not include a waitlist
component. Commissioner Adams and Commissioner Earman voiced their
concern over the threat of losing State resources if the County chose to use a
program other than Sharecare. Commissioner Earman then referred back to the
software companies that staff had been prepared to recommend, Luminare
Innoculate or Qualtrics. He received an explanation from Administrator Brown on
how the program would function, including confirmation that both of the software
companies would integrate with Florida SHOTS. Administrator Brown also
relayed that CARES Act funding could be used to purchase the software.
Indian River County Florida Page 10
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 19, 2021
Discussion continued as Commissioner Earman expressed his desire to move
forward with an outside company in order to guarantee that the County would have
manageable waitlist software. Chairman Flescher inquired and received feedback
from Administrator Brown that the timeline for implementing the software was
approximately 10 days, and that he would need Board approval to waive the bid
requirements and direction to move forward with entering into a contract with an
outside company. Commissioner Moss voiced concern over the uncertain vaccine
supply, pointing out that the number of vaccines received by the County each week
may continue to decrease. She proposed that the County formulate a list using the
sign-up information from ALERT Indian River. Administrator Brown responded,
noting that it would not be an option to use the ALERT Indian River database, as
"age" was not included in the data captured.
Miranda Hawker, Health Officer, Florida Department of Health, Indian River
County, spoke on the limited vaccine supply and the Health Department's
dedication to get the vaccines into the community. She added her concern that an
outside software company would not have the same ability as Sharecare to
seamlessly integrate with Florida SHOTS.
Commissioner Adams inquired with Ms. Hawker regarding the possibility of an
outside company's software integrating/interfacing with Sharecare; limiting
vaccinations to only County residents; reducing the work of the Health Department
by digitally updating the Florida SHOTS database; and the best point of contact for
individuals with vaccination questions.
Under public comment, Deborah Cooney addressed the Board to speak about the
controversy involving vaccines.
Additional Board discussion ensued with Vice Chairman O'Bryan and
Commissioner Moss relaying their fear that the vaccine supply would be cut by the
State if the Sharecare system was not utilized. Commissioner Adams attempted to
get clarification as to when Sharecare would be up and running; Ms. Hawker did
not confirm a date.
At the conclusion of discussion, Administrator Brown announced that he had just
been contacted by Emergency Services Director and Chief Tad Stone, who advised
that the State would have the Sharecare system in place in approximately three (3)
weeks. Commissioner Adams suggested revisiting the topic at the next meeting,
February 2, 2021, to allow staff the necessary time it would take to gather
information from the State and to reach out to Senator Debbie Mayfield and State
Representative Erin Grall for confirmation that the vaccine supply would not be cut
if the County contracted with an outside company to provide manageable waitlist
software.
Indian River County Florida Page 11
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 19, 2021
A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to:
1) waive the bid requirements related to contracting with a company with software
capabilities to wait -list people who opt for the COVID-19 vaccination, and 2) direct the
County Administrator to contract with the company of his choice and authorize
spending up to $200,000 of CARES Act funding on the necessary software. The
motion was denied by the following vote:
Aye: 2 - Chairman Flescher, and Commissioner Earman
Nay: 3- Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, and Commissioner Moss

Parks and Conservation Resources Director Kevin Kirwin introduced Dr. Nick
Shay, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University
of Miami, and Dr. Steven Lazarus, Department of Ocean Engineering and
Marine Sciences at the Florida Institute of Technology, who were present to
discuss a site within the County that would become part of the United States
National High Frequency Radar (HFR) network. Dr. Lazarus utilized a
PowerPoint presentation to provide detailed information related to high
frequency ocean surface radar, used for detecting currents and waves. He
stated that the site chosen at Treasure Shores Park would provide benefits such
as tracking Red Tide and providing rocket launch support. He made it known
that the real time data from the project would be made available to the
community through the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional
Association's website, www.secoora.or .
In response to inquiries from Commissioner Moss regarding pole appearance
and radiation, Dr. Shay described the 12 poles as one (1) inch in diameter, four
(4) to six (6) feet high, and painted to blend with the vegetation. He clarified
that the approximate 40 watts of radiation was not a concern, comparing it to
1/3 to %2 of what comes from a light bulb used at a residence.
Indian River County Florida Page 12
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final January 19, 2021
When asked by Vice Chairman O'Bryan about the frequency and its impact to
marine mammals, shore birds and sea turtles, Dr. Lazarus stated that a cell
phone transmits a frequency 10-100 times higher.
Commissioner Earman added that he saw no downside to the project.
Under public comment, Deborah Cooney opposed the project due to the effects
of electromagnetic radiation exposure.
Dr. Lazarus informed the Board that all data and information gathered from the
project would be shared with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and with the
