County Attorney Dylan Reingold stated that he was returning to the Board with a more definitive projection on the cost to implement St. Lucie County’s Pretrial Program (the Program) Services in Indian River County, pursuant to Board direction at the May 14, 2019 County Commission meeting. After presenting his analysis on costs and non-monetary benefits, he affirmed his support for the Program with one caveat. Attorney Reingold advised that a determination would need to be made on who would be responsible for implementing and monitoring the Program, as well as serving as the liaison with St. Lucie County. Judge Cynthia Cox, 19th Judicial Circuit Court, pointed out that Indian River was the only county in the 19th Judicial Circuit without the Program. She advocated for the Board to bring the Program to the County.

A wide-ranging discussion ensued between the Board, staff, and the Sheriff as various aspects of bringing the Program to the County were considered. Key discussion items centered around the Board and staff's preference to have the Sheriff administer the Program, and the Sheriff’s uncertainty about what the true costs would be.

Vice Chairman Adams and Commissioner Flescher individually expressed strong support for instituting the Program in Indian River County.

Attorney Reingold affirmed that he would continue to work on this matter and Page 19Indian River County Florida

July 2, 2019Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes 3 - Final 14.A.1. 19-0582 Biosolids--FDEP Rulemaking Commissioner's MemorandumAttachments: Chairman Solari referred to Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke to address staff's concerns with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Rulemaking. Director Burke stated that the FDEP conducted three (3) public hearings in Tallahassee, Orlando and West Palm Beach. He added that he, along with County Administrator Jason Brown, and Environmental Compliance Specialist Eric Charest, attended the Orlando meeting to voice staff's concerns with respect to the proposed rulemaking process where it involves biosolids. Director Burke went over some of staff's concerns, such as the costs involved in disposing of the biosolids if the municipalities could not land apply them and who would be responsible for the costs. He believed that there was a disconnect between the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Extension (IFAS) issues with the tissue and soil samples and the water quality issues the FDEP has in its power to implement. Staff was requesting as part of their submittal package to the FDEP that there would be required testing and monitoring of all sites that have had land applications of biosolids. He mentioned that the St. John River Water Management District (SJRWMD) had limited water quality data on their website and added that staff highly recommend that the FDEP look into requiring water quality monitoring at some of the strategic locations in order to establish base line water quality data. Director Burke communicated that the FDEP's public comment period will close July 29, 2019. All comments regarding the proposed Rule 62-640 Biosolids, Florida Administrative Code, must be sent in writing or through the FDEP portal. He made mention that the rulemaking process could take 12 to 18 months. Chairman Solari stated that staff would be sending their concerns to the FDEP, and he would also send a letter with his comments. He agreed there needed to be monitoring on all sites that apply the biosolids, and expressed his concerns with dumping phosphorus near Blue Cypress Lake. Chairman Solari spoke with a member from the SJRWMD Board of the South Florida Water Management District and they will be submitting their comments with FDEP as well. He would also engage in a conversation with a representative from the St. John River Water Management District to Page 21Indian River County Florida
