The update included diagrams to specify the reason for the necessary revisions to the original 2007 beach footprint/template, namely the Equilibrium Toe of Fill (ETOF) line and the Landward Extent of Edge of Hardbottom, as required by the FDEP in their Request for Additional Information (RAI), received on February 22, 2019. Director Szpyrka clarified that the Beach and Shore Preservation Advisory Committee agreed that the County would not want to impact the nearshore hardbottom. Ms. Cope confirmed that the County then went back to Coastal Technology Corporation (Coastal Tech), the coastal engineering firm that provided the 2007 beach template, to request a revised beach design template based on the current beach conditions, and for scenarios to pursue prior to responding to the FDEP's RAI. Ms. Cope explained that the area of beach in Sector 7 offered no public access, making State funding difficult to secure. She clarified that the total cost share amount obligated to the County following Hurricanes Matthew and Irma was $3,273,654.48, with the majority coming from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). She concluded the presentation by presenting three (3) scenarios to the Board: Scenario 1 would pursue the original 2007 design and mitigate for impacts to nearshore hardbottom, costing up to $25,000,000; Scenario 2 would pursue a revised design with a lower quantity of fill, costing up to $7,500,000; and Scenario 3 would call to remove the permit application and pursue no action, costing the County $3,000,000 per year. County Administrator Jason Brown provided financial details in response to Chairman Solari's inquiry regarding the length of time it would take for the County to secure the funding necessary for Scenario 1 versus Scenario 2. He and Commissioner Flescher agreed with the Chairman that Scenario 2 was recommended. Tem Fontaine, Coastal Engineer for Coastal Tech, 3625 20th Street, spoke on the County's coastline challenges, and he advised the placement of as much sand as possible without impacting the nearshore hardbottom. He Page 8Indian River County Florida

July 16, 2019Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes 3 - Final responded to Commissioner O'Bryan, stating that the amount of sand used in Scenario 2 would potentially last five (5) to six (6) years depending on the weather/storm activity. Ms. Cope answered additional questions from members of the Board, and she confirmed that the Sector 7 Beach and Dune Restoration Project would begin sometime in November/December 2020, if so directed by the Commission. A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Commissioner O'Bryan, to approve Scenario 2, to revise the beach template design with a lower quantity of fill. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: Chairman Solari, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner Flescher, Commissioner O'Bryan, and Commissioner Zorc 5 - Page 9Indian River County Florida

She detailed the background, noting that staff approved a three (3) year contract with Tetra Tech, Inc. on April 17, 2018 to develop an outline for how the County would focus their efforts on improving the health of the Lagoon. On May 7, 2019, the Board was presented with the initial draft outline that generated feedback and additional recommendations to be incorporated into a revised draft outline. Ms. Cope continued with the revised outline structure of the IRL Plan, and highlighted the proposed bullet points: Executive Summary of Timeline for IRL Plan; IRL Plan Outline, including Current Understanding, Research Review Phase, Plan Development Phase, and Implementation Phase; Plan Funding Options; and Appendices of Projects, including Under Construction or Operational, Upcoming and Funded Projects, and Potential Projects. She described the current and potential stressors of the Lagoon, and she explained each phase of the IRL Plan and the proposed timeframe required for each phase to be successful. Ms. Cope then listed the County projects that were currently either under construction, operational, or upcoming and funded. In addition, she confirmed that the proposed revised outline listed all of the funding sources for the IRL Plan, as well as for the current and upcoming projects. Members of the Board were appreciative of all the staff who have worked to improve the revised IRL Plan outline. Discussion ensued regarding the unknowns of the IRL Plan, and it was agreed upon that the name of the plan should be changed to "Research Phase of the Indian River Lagoon Management Plan". Ms. Cope suggested that staff could present quarterly updates to the Board, and the Board could then provide direction, if necessary. A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner Flescher, to: 1) approve the revised Indian River Lagoon Plan outline as presented, changing the name to the Research Phase of the Indian River County Lagoon Management Plan; and 2) direct staff to provide the Board with quarterly updates.

Indian River County case, which arose out of a dispute regarding a proposed development of property for use as a concrete batch plant. The County had been cleared on all of the three (3) counts that had been filed; however, the case was appealed by the plaintiffs, Ocean Concrete and George Maib, who have relied on an appraisal that claimed a loss in value of $1.7 million due to the elimination of a concrete batch plant. Under the Bert J. Harris Act, the plaintiffs may be able to recover reasonable costs and attorney fees, and be paid interest, if the plaintiffs prevail in the action. Attorney Reingold stated that County staff and the plaintiffs attended mediation on July 11, 2019. They were not able to settle the case, but with the input of outside counsel, staff decided it might be important to file a Proposal for Settlement (PFS). He recommended the filing of a PFS in the amount of $800,000, noting that the County's insurance carrier would be contributing roughly $700,000 to the settlement.

He explained that leachate, liquid that passes through the waste, was the primary focus of the study as directed by the Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS), and that the West Regional Waste Water Treatment Facility (WRWWTF) was the recipient of the leachate. Geosyntec discovered that arsenic, total nitrogen, and total dissolved solids exceeded the specified local limits on discharge, referenced in Section 201.68 of the Code of Indian River County, and that the leachate also contained excessive amounts of ammonia nitrogen and biological oxygen demand. Director Burke relayed Geosyntec's recommendation that a pilot study project be performed by an equipment vendor that uses thermal leachate evaporators for treatment.
