COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR MATTERS 11.A. 22-0840 Addition I I.A. - Update Regarding Hurricane Ian Attachments: Staff Report Hurricane Ian County Administrator Jason Brown provided an update on Hurricane Ian and he Indian River County Florida Page 5 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 4, 2022 thanked all those who responded and helped prepare for this event. He mentioned the issues with the drainage, power loss, and in a PowerPoint Presentation, he displayed the extent of the beach and dune erosion within the County. He mentioned there was a fairly significant amount of debris from the storm, but significantly less than prior events and that staff was not recommending an additional debris pickup. He stated the County issued an emergency purchase order to bring in two claw trucks in addition to the Public Work's trucks to assist in picking up debris from the public rights-of-way. Although the County had been declared eligible for emergency measures by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the County was not declared eligible for debris clearing. Commissioner Flescher turned to County Administrator Brown proposing to waive the tipping fees for vegetative waste by commercial vehicles at the landfill for one month. Managing Director of the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Himanshu Mehta agreed on waiving the tipping fees for vegetative waste and stated the County opened areas adjacent to the containers for the vegetative waste at each of the Convenience Centers, but emphasized the larger amounts of vegetative waste should be brought to the landfill. He stated in order to move the vehicles in and out of the landfill, SWDD had come up with the average ton of a smaller vehicle bypassing them at the scale house and counted the number of vehicles coming into the landfill to quantify the amount of vegetative waste in order to pay the contractor. Chairman O'Bryan was in support of waiving the fees for two weeks, with Commissioner Flescher in agreement, starting October 5, 2022 and ending on October 19, 2022. It was the consensus by the Board not to activate the emergency debris pickup and to get the word out through the County's website and social media that there would be no bulk debris pickup and a reminder of the four cubic yards size -limit of vegetative waste for Waste Management customers. Chairman O'Bryan commended Public Works, Road and Bridge Division, Republic Waste Services, and Waste Management Services for their response after the storm. He expressed his concern for the number of power outages from a small scale storm and wanted to know what Florida Power & Light planned to do to prevent this from happening in the future. A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Chairman O'Bryan, to approve waiving landfill tip fees for debris, effective on October 5, 2022 and ending on October 19, 2022. The motion carried by the following vote: Indian River County Florida Page 6 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 4, 2022 Aye: 5- Chairman O'Bryan, Vice Chairman Earman, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and Commissioner Moss 12.

The motion carried by the following vote: Indian River County Florida Page 7 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 4, 2022 Aye: 5- Chairman O'Bryan, Vice Chairman Earman, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and Commissioner Moss H. Utilities Services 12.H.1. 22-0827 Utility Accounts Receivable Bad Debt Follow -Up and Potential Foreclosure Activity Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: • Authorize staff to classify as bad debt expense the $632,604.80 in penalties and interest that was waived; • Authorize the Director of Management and Budget to process a budget amendment from the Utilities operating fund balance (cash) to cover the $632,604.80 expense; • Authorize staff to work with the County Attorney's office to process any potential foreclosures; and, • Authorize staff to seek outside counsel, if needed, in assisting with these foreclosures Attachments: Staff Report Notice of Future Potential Connection Charges Director of Utility Services Sean Lieske recognized the Utility workers who worked during the storm to keep both the water and wastewater flowing. He explained there were 90 lift stations that were down due to the power outages and the Utility crews used portable generators to pump them out. Utility Finance Manager Cindy Corrente utilized a PowerPoint Presentation to follow-up on the Accounts Receivable Bad Debt and potential foreclosure activity. She stated with the modifications to County Code Section 201.2, staff was given authorization to waive some, or all, penalties and interest on certain past -due utility accounts and to make arrangements for settlement of said accounts. She displayed a summary of bad debts listing the numbers of settlements, total collected, the total penalties, and interest waived for the water and sewer, impact fee loans, and assessments. Ms. Corrente brought up the accounts falling into the unenforceable lien category explaining liens over 20 years old were no longer legally enforceable; however, she stated a "notice of potential future connection charges" will be filed in the County Clerk's records. She continued, before any service could be activated for those properties, any connection charges in effect at the time of connection including any impact fees would need to be paid. Chairman O'Bryan sought and received confirmation from County Attorney Dylan Reingold that the notice of future connection charges would show up in the title search so the buyer would be aware of the additional costs. Indian River County Florida Page 8 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 4, 2022 Ms. Corrente advised the Board that 67 certified letters were sent out to notify property owners with past due accounts of potential foreclosure, giving the owners 60 days to arrive at a settlement agreement noting there had been six settlements to date. She stated that staff would work with either the County Attorney's Office or outside counsel on the accounts with enforceable liens over 24 months to pursue foreclosure, noting there was still ample opportunities for the individuals to settle on their past due accounts. The Board agreed it was not the County's intention to foreclose on an individual's home, but to work with the customer to settle. Ms. Corrente provided a summary of bad debt for fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 in the amount of $632,604.80, action requested from staff, and preventative measures going forward. Chairman O'Bryan and Vice Chairman Earman sought and received information from Ms. Corrente on the reason why the foreclosure notices for the water and sewer accounts were not 12 months instead of 24 months in arrears and not 24 months instead of 48 months in arrears for loan or assessment accounts. A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Commissioner Adams, to approve staffs recommendation. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5- Chairman O'Bryan, Vice Chairman Earman, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and Commissioner Moss The Chairman called a recess at 10:29 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at 10:40 a.m., with all members present. 13. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS 13.A. 22-0808 Website Publication of Legal Notices Recommended action: The County Attorney's Office recommends that the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners provide direction on the use of the County website for publication of notices for the County and other jurisdictions. Attachments: Staff Report County Attorney Dylan Reingold referred to his memorandum dated September 16, 2022, stating the Florida Legislature enacted House Bill 7049 in regard to the posting of notices for public hearings, the changes made to the legal notices and official advertisements provisions of the Florida Statutes that would go into effect on January 1, 2023. He outlined the key points of the new statutory requirements that impact Indian River County, stating certain notices previous required to be Indian River County Florida Page 9 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final October 4, 2022 posted in the newspaper could be noticed on the County's website, and other government entities could use the County's website as their notification forum if the cost of printing on the website was less than the cost of publishing it in the newspaper. He opined the County could charge other governmental entities to utilize the County's website for their notifications. He pointed out a county with a population of fewer than 160,000 may use a publicly accessible website to publish legally required advertisements and public notices only if it is determined that the residents have sufficient access to the internet by broadband service. He sought guidance from the Board on the use of the County's website for publication of notices for the County and other jurisdictions. Commissioner Adams sought and received information from County Attorney Reingold on publishing notices on the County's website and allowing other jurisdictions use of the County's website for public notices. She was in favor of publishing notifications on the County's website, noting that it would save the County some money and advised there should be a policy in place to establish appropriate deadlines for submission. A discussion followed on the potential cost savings, fees, setting up the County's website for the publication of legal notices, schedule for submitting the notice, and moving forward with only publishing County notices at first. The Town of Indian River Shores Councilmember Bob Auwaerter spoke of the cost savings and better transparency by publishing notices on the County's website and the cost of a newspaper subscription. It was the consensus of the Board to direct the County Attorney's Office to research the cost savings, potential fees, and how to set-up the County's website for the publication of legal notices, and to bring back the information at a future meeting. 13.

City of Vero Beach Federal Litigation Update Attachments: Staff Report County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided an update to the Board on Town of Indian River Shores (Town) v. City of Vero Beach (City) Federal Litigation.
