Stop Loss Proposal HM Insurance Group  
Commissioner Loar highlighted the successful negotiations with vendors, who  
provided reassurance for current health policies. He stated there was a slight  
reduction in the County's expenses over the last two years. He requested County  
Administrator John Titkanich provide an update on the initial vendor's proposed  
increase and how negotiations led to securing a different vendor.  
Administrator Titkanich stated that insurance coverage had been an essential topic of  
discussion. The previous reports showed $3.4 million in premiums paid out over the  
last three years without any stop-loss claims. However, in 2019-2020, there was a  
claim of $1.2 million, emphasizing the importance of insurance in protecting County  
employees. The current provider proposed a 12% increase, however, after  
negotiations, offered zero increase due to zero claims over the last three years.  
Highmark, a stop-loss provider, offered a 12% decrease in premiums, resulting in  
approximately $147,000 in savings for the upcoming year.  
A motion was made by Commissioner Loar, seconded by Vice Chairman

Commissioner Loar thanked the Parks and Recreation Department for their work on  
the Request for Proposal (RFP) for reconditioning and rebuilding the Gifford Aquatic  
Park, including replacing the slide. He praised the department's commitment to saving  
money by quickly rejecting a $1.6 million quote from an out-of-town vendor for work  
that was initially estimated to cost around $300,000.

Assistance Program (FRDAP) grant two and a half years ago, they have taken steps  
to move the project forward. She discussed the challenges faced with the high cost of  
the slide and the limited experience of the selected general contractor. However, the  
purchasing department proactively explored purchasing options by meeting with  
multiple slide vendors and had obtained three quotes. Ms. Powell expressed optimism  
about working with the purchasing department to overcome these obstacles and  
complete the project by the beginning of 2025.

Vice Chairman Flescher discussed the maintenance challenges with the Gifford water  
tower and the outdated plans to update the tank for an additional water supply  
source. He noted that the presence of cell carrier antennas had complicated the  
process. As a result, the tank could not be used as an operational water resource for  
the community.  
Howard Richards, Manager of Capital Projects for the Indian River County  
Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS), confirmed the tank needed maintenance  
repairs to preserve its integrity and structural upgrades to accommodate additional  
load from cell carrier antennas. The IRCDUS was also developing a Water Master  
Plan to address future growth and demand for service. The current actions aimed to  
maintain the tank's integrity, prepare it for future hurricane seasons, and allow for  
potential future use as a water storage component.

Joe Idlette III, President of the Progressive Civic League of Gifford, expressed  
gratitude to the Gifford community for its support. He mentioned that the  
community had worked closely with the County on the Neighborhood Plan, which  
was approved in 2002. The plan was later updated in 2014, with the active  
involvement of the Progressive Civic League of Gifford. Mr. Idlette addressed the  
outstanding action items from the 2014 plan in detail.  
He stated he had met with County Administrator John Titkanich twice to discuss  
the neighborhood plan. However, Administrator Titkanich seemed disinterested  
and mentioned that he and his assistant would investigate, but a response was  
never received. He also mentioned a letter he wrote to Administrator Titkanich  
and had copied to each Commissioner, expressing the community's concerns  
about the County's neglect in starting and completing projects outlined in the plan.  
He sought assistance in moving these projects forward.  
Freddie Woolfork, representing the Gifford Youth Achievement Center (GYAC),  
wanted to handle matters diplomatically. He conveyed a sense of feeling  
overlooked and emphasized the importance of rekindling a spirit of mutual care.  
Mr. Woolfork stressed the significance of the ABC approach: A) obtaining bids  
and strategic planning for projects, B) adhering to a budget, and C) ensuring  
project completion. He underscored the Gifford community's aspiration for  
fairness and a collaborative partnership with the County.  
Anthony "Tony" Brown, President of the Indian River County National  
Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), expressed that  
the recent meeting with Administrator Titkanich and Assistant Administrator  
Nancy Bundt left them feeling unheard and overlooked. He mentioned that the  
situation dated back to 2002, and the tension during the 2013 Civic League  
meeting. He stated that the community was considering legal action in response to  
the ongoing frustration with the situation. Mr. Brown shared his concerns about  
the impact on Gifford's under-resourced community of color, he expressed a  
desire to address the problem. He discussed the importance of holding the staff  
accountable for their commitments.  
Vice Chairman Flescher expressed his appreciation for every word spoken. He  
stated that staff had been committed to this plan when it was originally developed,  
designed, and revisited. However, the staff initially dedicated to this plan were no  
longer here. Commissioner Flescher discussed the concerns raised and assured  
that adjustments would be made to address those concerns.  
Dana King, a resident of Vero Beach, shared an African greeting: "Casan Anda."  
She noted it was a Swahili greeting by the Maasai Warriors, which meant, "How  
are the children?" It symbolized the value placed on children and reflected  
society's overall well-being. She expressed concern about the well-being of  
children in Indian River County, citing the school district’s past failure to comply  
with the 1967 desegregation order. She also addressed housing gentrification and  
redevelopment issues, emphasizing the impact of neighborhood conditions on  
children's future prospects. She urged community leaders to address these  
disparities.  
Chairman Adams stressed the importance of the Gifford Neighborhood Plan in  
addressing the community's concerns and safeguarding its identity. She highlighted  
the increasing worries about issues like gentrification and encroachment, and  
emphasized the need to preserve the community's heritage for its continued  
growth and vitality. Chairman Adams also expressed gratitude for the input from  
the speaker and underscored the significance of protecting and respecting diverse  
neighborhoods and communities. She mentioned that staff had been developing  
new ideas to tackle the concerns related to the Neighborhood Plan and were  
working on an update to identify obstacles and expedite progress. She requested  
the staff to present this as an agenda item for one of the October meetings,  
providing an update, thoughts, and ideas to address the concerns that were  
raised. She stressed the importance of addressing this in October to prevent  
further delays.  
Commissioner Moss remarked that the lack of progress over the past twenty  
years was concerning. She believed both sides could cooperate in good faith to  
address the Gifford Neighborhood Plan.  
Chairman Adams underscored the necessity of engaging in a conversation in  
October to gain insight and feedback from the community regarding the County's  
intended direction. She expressed her commitment to facilitating this dialogue with  
staff and ensuring preparedness to address completed and outstanding tasks, as  
well as the underlying rationale. Additionally, it was important to note that moving  
forward would require making policy and budget decisions.  
No Action Taken or Required  
The Chairman called for a recess at 11:20 am and reconvened at 11:31 am with all  
members present.

Compensation and Classification Study Final Report  
Human Resource Director Suzanne Boyll referred to staff's memo dated  
September 4, 2024, and gave a brief overview of the Compensation and  
Classification study from Evergreen Solutions LLC (Evergreen) which began in  
October of 2023. She stated that Evergreen recommended implementing new  
pay plans for Exempt, Non-Exempt, and Labor employee groups at 60% of the  
market, positioning the County above the market midpoint.  
She stated that the County held meetings with employees to discuss Evergreen’s  
recommendations and proposed implementation. During negotiations, they also  
presented the study's implementation to the Teamsters’ employee group.  
Following employee feedback from these meetings, County Administrator John  
Titkanich requested further consideration for the minimum increase provided  
under the implementation.  
Ms. Boyll responded to Chairman Adams that as the program was implemented,  
there would likely be some anomalies. Some individuals or groups may not be  
classified correctly, or there may be adjustments needed for certain budgets or  
jobs. The Budget Department had set aside specific funds to address these issues.  
Chairman Adams requested that the motion allow the Department Heads,  
Assistant Deputy Administrator Mike Zito, Human Resources, and Administrator  
Titkanich to work together to address any anomalies as they arise to avoid  
hindering the process.  
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Flescher, seconded by Commissioner

Indian River Mall Redevelopment Items  
Recommended Action:  
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners consider the  
proposed changes to the County’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development  
Regulations, and authorize staff and the applicant to proceed with the formal  
amendments to the County’s Comprehensive Plan and Land Development  
Regulations.  
Attachments: Staff Report  
Parcel and Future Land Use Map  
Ryan Sweeney, Assistant Planning and Development Services Director, delivered  
a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation to showcase the land use plan for the  
Indian River Mall development. The development comprised five parcels,  
including the four original department stores and the "common area" parcel. DTS  
Properties (DTS) had acquired the former Macy’s, the former Sears parcels, and  
the common area parcel. After a thorough review, County staff evaluated DTS's  
proposal to revitalize these parcels and integrate the existing JC Penney and  
Dillard’s parcels into the overall plans. DTS proposed demolishing the former  
Sears building and adding new retail spaces, a hotel, a private school, and  
residential apartments.  
Mr. Sweeney stated that two “big picture” items were identified upon review of  
the conceptual proposal, which would require formal amendments to the County’s  
Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations (LDRs), respectively.  
Item #1: Allowable uses within the RC, Regional Commercial future land use  
designation.  
The subject mall and adjacent commercial parcels have a Regional Commercial  
(RC) land use designation. This designation was limited to regional retail and  
shopping uses, as outlined in Policy 1.30 of the Comprehensive Plan’s Future  
Land Use Element. The Indian River Mall and surrounding properties were the  
only areas in unincorporated Indian River County with this designation.  
Item #2: Maximum building height within the Regional Commercial future land use  
designation.  
During the July 8, 2024, pre-application conference and subsequent meeting,  
DTS proposed a five-story hotel with a 58-foot height, which exceeded the  
35-foot maximum for unincorporated Indian River County. DTS expressed  
interest in a formal amendment to create a third exception area for the mall and  
was willing to reduce the height to 45 feet for a four-story hotel.  
Mr. Sweeney responded to Commissioner Moss that there were two different  
processes with different timelines. The Comprehensive Plan Tax Amendment  
required public hearings by the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) and the  
Board. The Height Text Amendment was a simpler LDR Amendment that only  
involved the PZC Board and would not require a state review. Both processes  
were planned to run simultaneously as they were connected. Staff would ensure  
compatibility and add setbacks to prevent a 45-foot height limit on the edge of the  
perimeter.  
Following further discussions between the Board and staff, Commissioner Earman  
expressed his unwillingness to terminate the deal with developers based solely on  
building height concerns. He emphasized that this opportunity was significant and  
that unconventional approaches might be necessary to move forward.  
Commissioner Moss noted that the area in question was not large-scale, and the  
request from DTS was only for an increase in hotel height. She was open to  
having further discussion. Vice Chairman Flescher pointed out that Indian River  
County was known as a sunrise county, not a high-rise county. While there had  
been exceptions, he believed DTS should adhere to the current height limits.  
Chairman Adams proposed incorporating affordable housing into the  
development as a way to waive the height limit.  
It was the consensus of the Board to authorize staff and the applicant to  
proceed with the formal amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land  
Development Regulations.

of Bid Requirements and Award to Paragon Electric of Vero, Inc. and Approve  
Amendment No.2 to Work Order No. 5 to Masteller & Moler, IRCDUS Project  
ID 12.24.501  
Recommended Action:  
Staff recommends that the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners  
waive the bid requirements for construction of the Spoonbill Marsh Intake Pump  
Station Electric Power Cable Replacement and approve issuance of a purchase  
order to Paragon Electric of Vero, Inc. for material and construction in the  
amount of $425,378.38 and approve Amendment No. 2 to Work Order No. 5  
to Masteller & Moler in the amount of $10,400.00 for additional design and  
permitting and authorize staff to hold a contingency reserve for unforeseen costs in  
the amount of $85,076.00. So long as there are no changes in the dollar amounts  
and upon adequate completion of the work, staff is directed to make final  
payments.  
Attachments: Staff Report  
Masteller & Moler Amendment No 2  
Howard Richards, Manager of Capital Projects for the Indian River County  
Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS), provided an update regarding the  
October 2023 incident, where the cable supplying electrical power to Spoonbill  
Marsh’s intake pump station failed. In response, IRCDUS promptly rented a  
generator to restore functionality to the pump station and initiated an urgent  
project to replace the electric power cable. He noted that IRCDUS proactively  
began a planned project to elevate the access roadway to the pump station, which  
aimed to enhance stability and minimize wetland impacts while integrating the new  
electric power cable, thereby optimizing construction costs.  
After analyzing quotes for constructing an electric cable using open trench  
installation, IRCDUS decided to switch to a directional drilling method due to  
cost savings and fewer environmental impacts. Masteller & Moler (M&M)  
prepared Amendment No. 2 to Work Order No. 5 for the re-design, which cost  
$10,400. IRCDUS requested a firm quote from Paragon for the directional  
drilling method, which came to $425,378.38. With a 20% contingency reserve to  
cover unforeseen construction costs, the total proposed budget came to  
$520,854.38.  
No further discussion was had.  
A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Commissioner  
Loar, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion carried by the following

County Administrator  
Discussion  
Recommended Action:  
Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum  
Commissioner Loar came forward to discuss County Administrator John  
Titkanich's performance. He expressed concern on Administrators  
communication, approach, and lack of feedback on the County's operations.  
Commissioner Loar requested an objective overview of Administrator Titkanich’s  
tenure and vision for restructuring and plans to hold quarterly sessions to address  
these concerns.  
Commissioner Loar was particularly troubled by Administrator Titkanich’s  
steadfast adherence to a step-by-step process outlined in industry-accepted  
administrators' playbooks rather than opting to triage the more immediate  
problems confronting the County. The institutional knowledge loss due to  
turnover at all levels, excessive spending on external consultants, and a tendency  
to hire supervisory personnel from outside the organization had impacted morale  
and employee inspiration.  
Administrator Titkanich defended his work by highlighting several achievements.  
These included reorganizing divisions and departments, making personnel  
changes, conducting more employee training sessions, and creating two high-level  
positions; Assistant County Administrator and County Administration  
Ombudsman. His emphasis to County employees on the importance of  
considering public service as customer service.  
Vice Chairman Flescher stated that there was a surge in complaints in 2024. He  
referred to the County's troubled permitting process following the My  
Government Online (MGO) software transition. He expressed concerns about the  
system's failure and the challenges faced by contractors dealing with the Building  
Division. He was unhappy with the County's overall operations, citing the inability  
to fill key positions, which led to inefficiencies in multiple departments. He  
criticized Administrator Titkanich's performance and called for comprehensive  
solutions instead of patchwork fixes.  
Commissioner Moss noted that the County had spent nearly $35 million on  
consultants in the past two years, with over $16 million in fiscal 2023-24. She  
believed the money was well spent as long as the information was used. She was  
confident that the Administrator would act on the consultants' recommendations.  
She stated she had already seen a positive change in the County’s organizational  
culture.  
Commissioner Earman endorsed the Administrator's work. He remarked that the  
Administrator inherited a financially stable County, but faced internal challenges.  
He praised Administrator Titkanich for doing a great job and likened his situation  
to a football coach who had to change his staff, resulting in some initial challenges.  
Chairman Adams attributed much of Administrator Titkanich’s initial difficulties to  
the Commissioners, stating that they did not effectively communicate what was  
expected of him. She stated that the Board wanted change, but did not specify  
what that change should entail. She added that the Commissioners should have  
prepared the organization for the impending changes. Additionally, she noted that  
the County remained a small and "insular" community and suggested that the  
Commission allow the Administrator more time to establish the connections  
crucial in the local public service network.  
Commissioners Loar, Flescher, and Adams expressed a desire to see specific  
improvements when the Administrator provided his next quarterly update to the  
Commission on December 3, 2024.  
The following speakers appeared before the Board.  
Scott McCracken, Owner of Sawhorse Construction, raised concerns to the  
Board about the potential termination of Indian River County Building Official  
Scott McAdam. He discussed the negative impact of that decision, attributing  
most complaints to MGO software. McCracken praised Mr. McAdam's  
performance, including his active participation in meetings, ability to address  
challenging questions, and effective handling of complaints. Additionally,  
McCracken suggested further evaluation, acknowledging Mr. McAdam's  
consistent availability and prompt responsiveness.  
Deb Frazier, the Executive Officer of the Treasure Coast Builders Association  
(TCBA), expressed her appreciation for the TCBA members who attended the  
meeting to discuss potential solutions and future actions. She agreed with Mr.  
McCracken that the new system had faced challenges and echoed his gratitude  
for Mr. McAdam. Ms. Frazier mentioned that she had invited builders to this  
meeting, but some had concerns about potential repercussions due to their permits  
currently being in the system. They were worried that speaking up could lead to  
negative consequences, and this perception was shared by many builders.  
Anthony "Tony" Brown, President of Indian River County NAACP, concurred  
with Ms. Frazier and mentioned that he had several pending complaints. He  
highlighted that people were hesitant to file complaints due to fear of  
repercussions.  
Architect Richard Bialosky expressed optimism for a positive resolution and  
recommended that Administrator Titkanich offer apologies to Anthony Brown,  
Joe Idlette III, and Freddie Woolfork, as this gesture could have a meaningful  
impact.  
Brian Hayes from Hayes Construction Group supported Mr. McAdam and the  
Building department, expressing appreciation for the MGO program's  
simplification of their work through electronic plans. Although he noted occasional  
hiccups, he emphasized the importance of working together for the community's  
benefit.  
Chris Crawford, an architect at Crawford CM, emphasized the disparity between  
the Florida building code and the County Land Development Regulations (LDRs).  
He firmly endorsed the building official's strict adherence to the code and lauded  
the effectiveness of the MGO program. He spoke highly of Scott McAdam's  
capabilities as a building official and assured that the situation was under close  
scrutiny.  
Commissioner Loar responded to Chairman Adams that there was nothing else to  
be delivered to Administrator Titkanich.  
The Board unanimously agreed that the County Administrator and County  
Attorney would provide quarterly progress reports beginning with the  
December 03, 2024, Board of County Commissioners meeting.

Managing Director of the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD), Himanshu  
Mehta, noted an increase in the disposal of rechargeable and lithium-ion batteries  
in the County, leading to safety hazards. Disposing of vape pen batteries, which  
were mixed with other hazardous materials, had proven to be particularly  
challenging and has resulted in incidents of explosions and fires.  
Sue Flak, the SWDD Recycling Education and Marketing Coordinator,  
highlighted the challenges in disposing of vape pens containing hazardous materials  
like nicotine and THC. To address this issue, the SWDD staff was partnering with  
GAIACA Waste Revitalization to launch a Vape Pen Collection program,  
encouraging residents to dispose of vape pens at designated locations. GAIACA  
would provide lockable receptacles for disposal at an annual cost of $5,200.  
A representative from the Sheriff's Office stated that they work closely with the
