Anfield Contract 2024
Commissioner Flescher requested more information about the outside entity the
County was paying to represent the County's needs and concerns in Tallahassee. He
stated as public servants, the Board had a responsibility to ensure that the citizens'
interests were being taken care of effectively. He commented the entity had been
helpful in some matters but did not think it was sufficient. He requested a detailed
report on their accomplishments and return on investment for the $120,000 the
County was proposing to spend.
County Administrator John Titkanich stated staff was looking to collaborate with
Anfield Consulting Inc. (Anfield) in the upcoming year to create a report that shows
the amount of tax dollars returned to Indian River County. It was essential to have a
voice at the federal level and to ensure that the community received its fair share of
funding from Tallahassee and the Federal Government. Anfield's expertise and
experience, including their work with former Senate President Ken Pruitt, would be
Indian River County Florida Page 3
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final December 5, 2023
beneficial in navigating the complicated process of securing funding. A post -session
report would be created to translate their efforts into tangible results. Although the
County did not receive any appropriations last year, staff was working with the
legislative delegation to bring more funding into the County.
Additional discussion ensued, with Chairman Adams being in agreement with
Commissioner Flescher's concerns. She pointed out that Indian River County was
unique in that the County's delegation was a two -person delegation with one Senator
and one representative fighting for the County in Tallahassee. She stated Anfield had
been successful in getting the language the Board requested included in several bills to
protect the County in various matters. Therefore, thought it was beneficial and healthy
to review these efforts regularly, although some of the benefits were difficult to
quantify in monetary terms.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Flescher, seconded by Chairman Adams,
to approve staffs recommendation and authorize the County Administrator to
executed the agreement with Anfield Consulting , Inc. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Aye: 5- Chairman Adams, Vice Chairman Flescher, Commissioner Earman, Commissioner
Moss, and Commissioner Loar

Indian River County Florida Page 6
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final December 5, 2023
extended his gratitude to Public Works and Infrastructure Project Manager Rob
Skok for their efforts in making this happen and our staff. This award was a breath of
fresh air in the current climate, and we were happy to report that the project cost
aligns with our Engineers' estimate. This project will address the ongoing issue of the
depth of Clay's course under wet conditions and elevate it to a thriving condition. The
total cost was $399,120. A $200,000 grant had been received, leaving the total cost
for the County at $100,120.
Chairman Adams stated that the Sporting Clays course gets flooded even with a little
rain because of its location on the property, which requires them to close it down. To
address this issue, they have obtained mitigation credits from the St. Johns River
Water Management District (SJRWMD) and planned to raise and renovate the
course. The project also included revamping the second course.
Commissioner Earman stated he appreciated the effort put into the gun range
improvements, and believed it was a good investment and would enhance the range
even further.
A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Vice Chairman
Flescher, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion carried by the following
vote:
Aye: 5 - Chairman Adams, Vice Chairman Flescher, Commissioner Earman, Commissioner

Recommended action: Staff recommends the Board approve the attached Resolution in support of the Indian
River Mosquito District and authorize the Chairman to execute the Resolution on
Indian River County Florida Page 12
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final December 5, 2023
behalf of the Board.
Attachments: Staff Report
Resolution
County Attorney Bill DeBraal stated the Indian River Mosquito Control District has
been an independent special district in Florida since 1925. It derives its income from
ad valorem taxes, not from the Board of County Commissioners. In 2021, the
legislature passed House Bill 1103, which mandates that all independent Special
Districts undergo performance review by the Office of Program Policy Analysis and
Government Accountability (OPPAGA). The review primarily focuses on evaluating
the quality of services the special district delivers. It also compares the services
provided by other municipalities or the county, under similar circumstances. The
Mosquito Control District's services are unique, and they are asking for a Resolution
that would allow them to continue as an independent special district.
Chairman Adams mentioned that the County would have difficulty providing mosquito
control services. She thanked the Mosquito Control District for their efforts in
Fellsmere, where the giant flood of 2023 had caused mosquitoes to grow rapidly.
Chairman Adams thanked the executive director and staff who were present for their
excellent work in controlling mosquitoes in the County.
Mosquito Control District Executive Director Sherry Burroughs thanked the
Commissioners for their continued partnership with County staff and their support of
the district.
Additional discussion ensued, each Commissioner shared their thoughts on the
valuable services provided by the Mosquito Control District to the County.
A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Vice Chairman
Flescher, to approve staffs recommendation and Resolution 2023-077, Supporting
and recommending retention of the current independent special district status of
the Indian River Mosquito Control District. The motion carried by the following
vote:
Aye: 5 - Chairman Adams, Vice Chairman Flescher, Commissioner Earman, Commissioner
Moss, and Commissioner Loar
