CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICERS and GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES 10. PUBLIC ITEMS A. PUBLIC HEARINGS B. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS C. PUBLIC NOTICE ITEMS 11. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR MATTERS 11.A. 21-0210 Provide Update Regarding COVID-19 Vaccinations Recommended Action: Discuss Attachments: Staff Report County Administrator Jason Brown utilized a PowerPoint presentation to deliver a Indian River County Florida Page 7 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 2, 2021 COVID vaccination update, during which he previewed a second -dose appointment calendar. Administrator Brown then shared staffs discovery that the County's existing notification software, Everbridge, could be utilized to create a wait list at a lower cost and with a quicker turn around than the other software options previously considered. Brian Toolan, Director of Government Strategy, Everbridge, appeared via Zoom with a demonstration of the registration website; he noted the software was also call center compatible. The Board received additional information from Mr. Toolan regarding numbering the wait list, the ability for spouses to register together, and sorting options. Administrator Brown clarified issues regarding which sorting parameters the state allowed, the conflicting information regarding prioritization within the 65 and over age group, the integration of state and local vaccine registration lists, and a phone registration option. Health Officer, Florida Department of Health for Indian River County, Miranda Hawker addressed the Board with positive feedback on Everbridge, and provided updated vaccination information. Discussion between the Board and Ms. Hawker ensued on topics including: integration of the state-run Sharecare list, appointment registration confusion, and confirmation of her leadership's direction that the Governor's order did not provide for prioritization within age groups. Information Technology Director Dan Russell offered assurance that the County's computer system was robust, and that back -end testing had begun in preparation for wait list registration within the week. He also provided information regarding the collection of health information from registrants. Vice Chairman Peter O'Bryan requested that Kathleen Keenan, Legislative Affairs and Communications Manager, contact State leadership to clarify the contradiction between the Governor's local appearance, in which he stated prioritization within the 65 plus age group was permitted, and the Health Department's statement that the Governor's order did not allow for such prioritization. Ms. Hawker returned before the Board to answer questions on the hierarchy of vaccine decision-making within the County. She also acknowledged the residents' frustration with the Health Department and offered that with technology improvements, the second -dose calendar, and community partnerships, her department was making strides in responding to questions and disseminating information. She closed by confirming that the vaccines offered by Publix did not affect the County's allocated supply because they used differing products. No Action Taken or Required Indian River County Florida Page 8 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 2, 2021 The Chairman called a recess at 10:33 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at 10:43 a.m. with all members present. 12. DEPARTMENTAL MATTERS A. Community Development B. Emergency Services C. General Services D. Human Resources E. Information Technology F. Office of Management and Budget 12.F.1. 21-0181 Allocation of One -Half Cent of Tourist Tax Revenue Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve allocating one-third (1/3) of one cent towards the Beach Restoration Fund, with the remaining one-sixth (1/6) of one cent to be used to fund Tourism Promotion beginning October 1, 2021. Attachments: Staff Report Florida Statute 125.0104 Indian River County FL Code of Ordinances Ch. 210 Historic Dodgertown Facilty Lease Agreement Agenda Item Director of Management and Budget Kristin Daniels referenced staff s memo dated January 21, 2021, as she reviewed her department's proposal to re -allocate one-half (1/2) of one cent of Tourist Tax revenue, as provided for in the spending plan for Historic Dodgertown/Jackie Robinson Training Complex (the Complex). Staff recommended redistributing the revenue to Beach Restoration and Tourist Promotion beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22. Director Daniels noted that the Statutes did not allow for half -penny allocations, so the portions would be converted to represent a fraction of one cent. Vice Chairman O'Bryan advocated for 75 percent of this new Tourist Promotion revenue to be held back as contingency for unforeseen mid -year opportunities. Chairman Flescher, and Commissioners Earman and Adams provided their rationale for supporting the proposed allocations, as well as supporting Vice Chairman O'Bryan's suggestion for a Tourist Promotion Fund reserve. Indian River County Florida Page 9 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 2, 2021 Commissioner Moss disapproved of continuing to collect the one (1) cent of Tourist Tax allocated to the Complex, stating that its purpose had been fulfilled when the improvement bond was repaid. County Administrator Jason Brown explained that though the bond was paid, the County was still contractually obligated to pay for the Complex's maintenance through at least FY 2028/29. County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided clarification of the State Statutes governing Tourist Tax spending in response to Commissioner Moss's comments. Commissioner Moss then suggested revisiting the issue to establish a sunset date, thereby reducing the Tourist Tax to three percent (3%), or three cents. The other Board members disagreed with Commissioner Moss's suggestion, and were in favor of maintaining the fourth cent of the Tourist Tax for reasons which included relieving taxpayers from the increasing cost of beach re -nourishment, the necessity of maintaining the County's beaches, upkeep of the Complex which provided sports tourism dollars, and increased requests for Tourism Promotion funds. Jennifer Bates, Tourism and Development Council (TDC) member, commented via Zoom that the fourth cent of the tax was crucial for tourism promotion, especially in light of reduced co-op dollars. She also mentioned that the TDC was in talks to increase the Tourist Tax to five percent (5%), as permitted by the State. A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner Adams, to approve staffs recommendation with additional direction to reserve 75% of the additional Tourism Promotion fund money for mid -year allocations. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5- Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Earman, and Commissioner Moss G Public Works 12.6.1. 21-0203 Sector 3 - Phase 1 Beach and Dune Restoration Project (IRC -1925) Additional Erosion Observed Since Summer 2020 Survey Recommended Action: Staff recommends the Board approve continuation of construction for Phase 1 of the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project utilizing the amount of sand necessary to meet the permitted fill template. This is an increase of approximately 25% above the current contracted amount (approximately 77,000 cy) and is anticipated to increase the amount of the contract by approximately $2,487,100, resulting in a total project price for Phase 1 of the Sector 3 Beach and Dune project in the amount of $14,474.110 Indian River County Florida Page 10 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final February 2, 2021 Attachments: Staff Representative Surveys Director of Public Works Richard Szpyrka presented an update of the Sector 3, Phase 1 Beach and Dune restoration project. He reported that a December 2020 pre -construction survey showed additional sand was needed due to erosion which occurred since the last survey was done in Summer of 2020. Director Szpyrka referred to staffs memo dated January 25, 2021, as he reported on the amount of sand needed, and the associated cost. Commissioner Earman entered into discussion with Director Szpyrka regarding effects of the most recent storm erosion, and expressed concern for the rising cost of beach re -nourishment. County Administrator Jason Brown added that the newly allocated Tourist Tax revenue would be helpful for this project. He then announced that the County had just been approved to receive a grant from the State's beach re -nourishment fund. A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5 - Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Earman, and Commissioner Moss H. Utilities Services 12.H.1. 21-0182 Work Order No. 3 for Bowman Consulting, Ltd., West Wabasso Sewer Phase III Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the following: 1. Work Order No. 3 for Bowman Consulting, Inc., for a lump sum amount of $155,562.00; and, 2.

Some of the changes included minimum connection requirements, ordinances for mandatory sewer hookup and irrigation regulation, and minimum performance standards. Director Burke suggested submitting a FY 2020/21 Alternative Water Supply grant application for improvements needed at the South County water treatment plant. The Commissioners expressed frustration with the SJRWMD's tactics and related appointed -Board overreach. Director Burke responded to a query with confirmation that the County did offer financing and incentives for septic to sewer conversions. A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to direct staff to: 1) Submit an Alternative Water Supply (AWS) grant application for the membrane replacement at the South County Reverse Osmosis water treatment plant; and 2) Work toward creating an ordinance which would regulate landscape irrigation.
