Attorney Reingold stated that County staff was approached by the Town of Indian River Shores (the Town) to discuss the possibility of the Town terminating a 2012 Franchise Agreement with the City of Vero Beach (the City). He pointed out a notice provision in the contract that stated the Town must notify the City in 2023, if they wished to explore a different source for receiving water, wastewater, and reclaimed water utility services. Attorney Reingold cited comparable situations which led him to believe it was not a problem for the Town to move forward with the utility feasibility study. He also referred to a letter dated March 24, 2021, from Vero Beach City Manager Monte Falls that included an 1989 Territorial Agreement between the City and the County, and he provided the reasoning behind his opinion that the County could serve the Town at the end of the Town's 2012 Franchise Agreement with the City; he recommended that the Board authorize County staff to cooperate with the Town in their efforts to conduct the feasibility study. Mayor Brian Foley, Town of Indian River Shores, explained that the Town was interested in knowing the costs involved with disconnecting from City water and connecting with the County. He stated that the Town's outside counsel, Holland & Knight, would be providing a written opinion regarding the 1989 Territorial Agreement between the City and the County.

Vice Chairman O'Bryan added his viewpoint that the County would be taking sides if they were to deny the cooperation of County staff to share information. For clarification purposes, Vice Chairman O'Bryan inquired and received confirmation from Attorney Reingold and County Administrator Jason Brown that the County had not previously been in litigation against the Town. Administrator Brown assured the Board that the County had not and would not engage in the reuse water rate dispute between the City and the Town, and he added that he did not feel the County would be taking sides. if the item was approved to allow staff to cooperate with the Town to explore options. Commissioner Eannan supported cooperation from County staff in assisting any of the municipalities within the County when needed. Commissioner Moss added that County staff time was a financial commitment, and if the request to allow staff to assist was approved by the Board, she was interested in knowing the number of hours that were spent on providing the requested feasibility study information. Chairman Flescher stated that the topic did not call for billable hours to be charted. Mr. Bolton again addressed the Board to discuss the 1989 Territorial Agreement between the County and the City. Mr. Foley revisited the podium to caution that the Town's outside counsel would be providing the County with a written analysis regarding anti-trust laws when two (2) parties exclude access of an essential facility to a third party. He reminded the Board that the topic being presented referred to cooperation with the Town in exploring their options, and he added that time was an issue as they were required to notify the City by October 2023, if they wished to terminate the franchise agreement. A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to approve staffs recommendation.
