12..11. PRESENTATION TO COMMISSION OF UTILITY SERVICES AND THE SOLID
WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT
Himanshu Mehta, Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District, through a
PowerPoint presentation (on file), provided a comprehensive overview of the
operations/functions/services of the county -wide Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD), which
is funded by property tax assessments. Topics mentioned by Mr. Mehta included the recycling
program, the Class I landfill; the Customer Convenience Centers; KIRB (Keep Indian River
14
November 9, 2010
Beautiful); and the subscription waste hauling services provided by Waste Management and
Treasure Coast Refuse. Director Mehta spoke of the District's goal to promote "green living"
and increase community participation in recycling. He attested to SWDD's regulatory
compliance with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and outlined
some methods to expand the recycling program to accommodate House Bill 7243's statewide
goal to recycle at least 75% by the year 2020.
Responding to Commissioner Davis's inquiry, Director Mehta acknowledged that staff
was investigating and would report to the Board regarding the potential for increasing recycling
volumes by changing from a dual -stream to single -stream collection system.
Continuing his presentation, Director Mehta explained how the SWDD has been affected
by the downturn in the economy, with revenues declining by 42%. He said that future projects
include a 10 -acre lateral landfill expansion and the Oslo Customer Convenience Center. He also
provided a status update on INEOS New Plant BioEnergy, a local business that will be producing
ethanol from vegetative waste.
An extensive discussion ensued among Commissioners and Director Mehta about
reaching the 75% recycling goal of HB 7243 and how to include in that goal, the volume of
residential compost from yard and food waste, that never goes to the landfill.
Dialogue continued as several Commissioners voiced objections to an unfunded State
mandate being enacted in January 2011 (as referenced in Director Mehta's presentation), which
seeks to have public institutions track and report to the County, the amount of recycling being
done. Discussion points included the status of recycling at the public schools, and dismay at the
schools being forced to use "education dollars" to comply with the mandate.
Vice Chairman Solari requested further information from Director Mehta, so that he
could discuss the mandate with the Legislative Delegation.

Discussion followed as the Board and Director Mehta talked about using ads on TV to
educate the public about recycling, as is being done in Palm Beach County.
Commissioner Wheeler suggested that the County partner in advertising with Palm Beach
County.
Fred Mensing likewise felt that the SWDD districts of neighboring communities could
look into cooperative advertising.
Director Mehta thereafter responded to Board questions about the decline in the volume
of newspaper recycling, and the possibility of recycling fluorescent compact bulbs at future
electronic recycling events.
13. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS
13.A. NEW LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
County Attorney Alan S. Polackwich, Sr., recapping his memorandum of November 1,
2010, reported on two new lawsuits filed against the County by the following parties: (1) FVP
Miami Lakes LLC (as successor in interest to Lennar Homes); and (2) Fred and Rita Mensing.
He relayed that staff has filed a "Motion to Dismiss" the FVP Miami Lakes LLC case, which
pertains to the recovery of non-refundable impact fees paid by the original developer, Lennar
Homes, for the discontinued developments of Madeira Isles and Tripson Estates. He provided
background description and analysis on the Mensing case, which relates to the County's
acceptance through Resolution 2008-043, of an implied dedication of a 60 foot strip of land
depicted on the Fleming Grant Plat of 1888, and bordering individual properties owned by Fred
Mensing and C.N. Kirrie. He affirmed that staff was prepared to defend the case; however, he
felt the Resolution enacted by the Board was increasing the County's involvement in an ongoing
dispute between Mr. Mensing and Mr. C.W. Kirrie, and asked the Commissioners if they wished
to revisit the Resolution.

Commissioner Flescher agreed with Attorney Polackwich that the Resolution has
exacerbated the conditions causing Mr. Mensing and Mr. Kirrie to file lawsuits. He pointed out
that an inordinate amount of time has been spent by staff, Commissioners, and the Sheriff on this
matter.
A brief discussion ensued wherein Director Mora confirmed that, although staff would
like to retain some form of land for an easement, they saw no future need for the strip of property
in terms of a future road.
Chairman O'Bryan and Commissioner Wheeler voiced support for having the court
resolve this matter.
Attorney Polackwich reiterated his perspective that reversal of Resolution 2008 043
would remove the County from the subject dispute.
Chairman O'Bryan suggested giving the two parties thirty days to come to an agreement
before taking the matter to court; however, after input from the County Attorney, he reiterated
his earlier suggestion to proceed to court.
Mr. Mensing addressed the Board on his situation, explaining that at this juncture, his
request was for the Commissioners to instruct the County Attorney to take no action on the
lawsuit.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler,
SECONDED by Chairman O'Bryan, to direct the County
attorney to defend this case
Discussion ensued. The Board CONSENSUS was to see this issue resolved permanently.

Chairman O'Bryan reported that E William Kenyon, Mayor, Town of Indian River
Shores ("the Town"), had sent a letter requesting that the County declare by November 10, 2010,
its interest or lack thereof in providing water, wastewater, and reclaimed water to the Town
under similar terms to the draft "Asset Purchase and Franchise Agreement" sent by GAI
Consultant's (the Town's consultant) to the County. On October 5, 2010, staff had sent to the
Town a letter indicating the County's legal concerns about providing services when the Town
has an existing franchise agreement with the City of Vero Beach. ("the City") until 2016. He
said that he and Vice Chairman Solari would, at the Town's workshop on Wednesday,
November 10, 2011, convey the County's willingness to explore the possibility of the County's
provision of utility services to the Town, but not necessarily under the terms outlined in the draft
`Asset Purchase and Franchise Agreement."
Vice Chairman Solari asked the County Attorney to draft a letter to the Town explaining
the County's position. He also noted that the City has appointed a new water, wastewater, and
reclaimed water liaison, Pilar Turner.
Deliberations ensued during which the Board considered whether to designate a water,
sewer, and wastewater liaison for negotiations with the Town. The Board CONSENSUS was to
have Vice Chairman Solari, the current liaison with the City, continue in that capacity; it was
noted that the new Chairman (Board elections to occur on November 16, 2010) may decide to
restructure the liaison designations.
Attorney Polackwich reiterated that the fundamental issue is the fact that the Town has
asked the County to begin providing service in January 2011, five and one-half years prior to the
2016 expiration of the Town's current franchise agreement with the City. He emphasized that
the County cannot do anything to interfere with the City's right to complete its franchise.
