Commissioner Moss provided an overview of the Rental Assistance Program  
(Program), which helped cover 60% of clients' rent for one month, with a maximum  
amount of $1,000. She reported that funding for the program increased from $80,000  
to $151,000 over the past four years. This year, 72% of clients were new, prompting  
a suggestion to prioritize first-time applicants given the rising demand and 18-month  
waiting period. Community Services Director Cindy Emerson confirmed that first-time  
applicants would be prioritized and noted that two partner agencies had experienced  
significant funding cuts, increasing the need for assistance in Indian River County. The  
Program aimed to keep residents housed and was considered more cost-effective  
than rehoming individuals, and the community greatly appreciated the support it  
provided.

Providing for General Wage Increases for Fiscal Years 2025/26 and

Recommended Action:

Collective Bargaining Agreement between Indian River County and Teamsters Local  
Union No. 769 providing for general wage increases for fiscal years 2025/26 and  
2026/27 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the amendment.  
Attachments: Amendment to Article 33 Wages  
Exhibit A - Amendment to Article 33 Wages  
County Administrator John Titkanich announced that the negotiations between the  
County and Teamsters Union 769 concerning the wage reopeners for the remainder  
of the contract were successfully completed. This contract covered Fiscal Years (FY)  
2025-2026 and 2026-2027 and was part of the collective bargaining agreement set  
to expire on September 30, 2027. He stated that the Teamsters approved the  
amendment, which was presented to the Board for ratification. The amendment  
included a general wage increase of 4% or $1 per hour, whichever was greater,  
effective from the beginning of the pay period in October 2025. All other terms and  
conditions of the collective bargaining agreement remained unchanged. He noted that  
the budgetary impact revealed a shortfall of $66,768 in the FY 2025-2026 Budget.  
Initially, it was stated that funding would come from cash forward starting October 1,  
2025, through a budget amendment. However, the Board was assured that there was  
a commitment from all Department Directors and County Administration to absorb  
these costs within the existing budget, thus avoiding any need for cash from the  
reserves.  
After the vote, Administrator Titkanich expressed gratitude to the Board and  
acknowledged the efforts of the negotiating team, primarily led by Deputy County  
Administrator Mike Zito and Human Resources Director Suzanne Boyll. He also  
extended his thanks to Teamsters members, including Steve Myers and Dale Herbert,  
along with all team members who contributed to the agreement. He emphasized that  
the agreement was fair and equitable, reflecting movement from both sides, and  
appreciated everyone's contributions throughout the process.  
Chairman Flescher echoed the sentiments of the County Administrator, highlighting the  
extensive meetings, discussions, and efforts during the negotiations. He specifically

for water quality enhancements. There was a consensus on the need to research

the Rain Tree Corners culvert.  
Public Works Director Addie Javed presented an Emergency Procurement  
Request for the replacement of a collapsing culvert at Rain Tree Corners. He  
noted that in August 2024, the Board had approved initial funding to move  
forward with the assessment for this replacement.  
Mr. Javed stated that the neighborhood consisted of approximately 16 homes that  
could be impacted if the pipe were to collapse. During the August meeting, it was  
noted that if the new special assessment process, introduced by the County  
Attorney's Office, were to be pursued, it might delay progress until December.  
Due to recent rainfall, there was an urgent risk of the pipe's collapse. This 60-inch  
metal pipe (culvert) served as the sole access point for the neighborhood.  
Mr. Javed stated that all 16 residents affected had agreed to pay the assessments  
and submitted a signed letter to the County. The current engineering estimate for  
the project stood at approximately $250,000. He emphasized that this was only  
an estimate; actual bids from contractors might result in a slightly higher or lower  
cost.  
There was no further discussion on the Item.  
A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Chairman  
Flescher, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion carried by the  
following vote:  
5 -  
Aye:

Department of Utility Services Recommendations for a Mandatory  
Connection Policy for Water and Sewer Services  
Recommended Action:  
Staff recommends that the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners  
consider, approve, or provide guidance on how to proceed with the following  
proposed actions that will be presented by the Department of Utility Services (not  
in any order of sequence or priority):  
A. Development of a mandatory connection policy in compliance with  
Florida Senate Bill 1632 including review and concurrence by Legal and  
County Administrator. The policy will include but limited to:  
1) Notification of sewer availability  
2) Require properties to connect to water and/or sewer service,  
where available, or when the services will become available  
3) Providing appropriate financing options  
4) Granting extensions of time under certain conditions  
B. Support for the Director of Utility Services or designee to negotiate costs  
under special circumstances in accordance with County Ordinance,  
Section 201-08(K). This would apply primarily to existing properties with  
Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal System s that abut a sewer main.  
For example, a property owner connecting to gravity sewer will be  
subjected to the full cost up to $15,000. Where the connection cost is  
higher, the owner’s exposure would be the higher of $15,000 or 60% of  
the total cost, with a cap set at $60,000.  
C. Offer a grace period (e.g., 15 years from the date of install) to convert to  
central sewer if a new home was built with Enhanced Nutrient Reduction  
Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal System before they are required  
to connect.  
D. Waiver of County Ordinance, Section 201.04, requirement to meter  
private potable water supply if water service is not available, or is not  
economically unfeasible to provide water service, and approve a flat rate  
or tiered billing approach.  
E. Waive the requirement to assess property owners (County Ordinance,  
Section 206) the IRC portion of the public infrastructure costs, including  
local match for grant funds.  
F. Reassess using optional sales tax (OST) to offset a portion of the  
customer service cost.  
G. Authorize waiving permit fees for customer water and sewer connections  
including but not limited to the following Departments/Divisions:  
a. Building Division  
b. Utility Services  
c. Planning  
H. Endorse and allow IRC’s promotion of third-party financing programs  
such as Solar and Energy Loan Fund (SELF) and Clean Water Coalition  
of Indian River County (CWC) programs.  
I. Authorize the Dept of Utility Services to evaluate the development of its  
own financing options and administration arrangements with other  
Departments. Example:  
a. Financing of the full cost to the customer for the private side  
connection up to five (5) years at prime plus 0.25%.  
b. Financing of all new customer service costs up to five (5) years at  
prime plus 0.25%.  
J. Authorize sending Mandatory Connection Notices in compliance with  
Florida Senate Bill 23-1632 as follows:  
a. Existing parcels with structures that abut water and sewer service  
lines. This includes any completed S2S projects that made sewer  
available. Where the sewer service existed for more than 365  
days, the property owners will be given 90 days to connect. At  
the County’s or Department’s discretion, an extension of 90 days  
may be granted for up to 180 days.  
b. For benefitting parcels with structures of all in-progress and future  
S2S projects. At least 365 days from sewer becoming available,  
owners will be notified of the upcoming availability. Upon sewer  
becoming available, owners will be sent a second notification of  
sewer availability and given 365 days to connect. During the two  
(2) years from the first notification, owners will be given the  
option to pay in 24 equal installments for all their cost obligation  
to connect.  
All Mandatory Connection Notices (MCNs) will be accompanied by  
costs sheets outlining the property owners’ obligation to pay for  
connection, and the available options for payments, e.g., self-pay,  
financing, 24 months financing 0% interest, etc.  
Attachments: Mandatory Connection Policy BCC Presentation  
Capital Projects Manager Howard Richards presented his department’s request  
for the Board's approval of a Mandatory Connection to County Sewer Service  
Policy. He discussed regulatory drivers that influenced the proposed policy,  
current conditions regarding septic systems and plant capacity, and the Indian  
River County Septic 2 Sewer (S2S) program. Mr. Richards also discussed  
implementing a “no sewer without water” policy, reducing connection fees, and  
cost-sharing initiatives for properties extending services. He stated that as of  
September 17, 2024, an estimated 28,374 septic systems were operational in the  
County. Mr. Richards analyzed scenarios based on service availability and  
connection types and presented the S2S project status. The goal included  
connecting 2,613 properties by 2030, with a focus on 582 “quick wins” and  
extending sewer services to 259 properties. During the presentation, three cost  
elements were covered: public infrastructure, private connections, and customer  
service charges. Additionally, various conversion solutions were highlighted,  
including three Enhanced Nutrient-Reducing Onsite Sewage Treatment and  
Disposal Systems (ENR-OSTDS) approved by the Florida Department of  
Environmental Protection (FDEP) for nitrogen reduction. Mr. Richards closed his  
presentation with a recap of staff’s recommendations (see Items A-J under  
recommended action)  
Discussion ensued between the Board and staff regarding the environmental  
impacts of moving away from septic systems, particularly the challenges  
associated with removing or decommissioning septic tanks. The Board recognized  
that these requirements could pose a significant burden on homeowners,  
especially those with smaller lots where it was difficult to replace existing systems.  
Commissioner Earman stressed the urgency of addressing Lagoon-related issues  
and highlighted the financial obstacles associated with mandatory connections.  
Vice Chairman Loar underscored the importance of lobbying efforts as the  
January 2026 Legislative Session approached, voicing concerns about potential  
financial strains on residents. Commissioner Moss raised questions about the  
consequences of waiving assessments and permit fees, and it was clarified that  
grants would cover 75% of project costs, with the goal of waiving the remaining  
25%. Chairman Flescher emphasized the need for a structured plan to help  
residents manage compliance costs. Mr. Lieske noted rising infrastructure costs  
and indicated that retro-fitting for ENR-OSTDS could cost residents $20,000 to  
$25,000. He stressed the urgency for residents who could currently connect to  
the sewer system to do so to avoid losing out on grant funding.  
The Board recognized the need to secure state grant funding while also  
considering residents’ needs and financial limitations. To lessen the financial  
burden, various funding options and policy adjustments were debated.  
Suggestions included waiving connection and assessment fees for properties that  
were already set up for sewer connections, as well as allowing property owners  
to connect to the sewer without a water connection. These measures could  
significantly cut costs. Mr. Lieske discussed leveraging grants and seeking further  
funding to assist residents in making the transition, although concerns arose about  
the broader community’s impact if these costs were passed on to other  
ratepayers.  
The Chairman opened the floor for public comment.  
Sebastian City Manager Brian Benton discussed key aspects regarding the  
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) project. He noted that the  
construction timeline had been extended to 2026-2027. Mr. Benton highlighted  
concerns surrounding impact fees and discussed a $3.6 million grant from the  
FDEP aimed at private-side infrastructure within the city. He encouraged staff to  
explore creative solutions to offset homeowners' impact fees by using connection  
fees.  
Clean Water Coalition Representative Judy Orcutt addressed the problem of  
failing septic systems, noting that 1,000 systems had failed, creating a substantial  
financial burden on homeowners who lack access to sewer services. She  
suggested using state revolving funds to switch from septic systems, with  
repayment handled through property taxes. During her presentation, Ms. Orcutt  
highlighted a project in Vero Beach that featured a STEP (Septic Tank Effluent  
Pumping) system. She recognized the efforts of key stakeholders but noted that  
only 50% of eligible residents had connected due to financial difficulties. She  
urged increased awareness of assistance programs that could significantly reduce  
connection costs.  
The Board and staff discussed waiving assessments and fees for water and sewer  
connections. Commissioner Moss expressed concerns regarding the potential  
budgetary impact, and Commissioner Adams sought clarity on the funding  
implications of waived fees, recommending outreach to homeowners about  
connection costs before issuing mandatory connection notices.  
Administrator Titkanich returned the discussion to the list of staff’s  
recommendations, Actions A-K. He noted Action A had been previously  
completed:  
A) Development of a mandatory connection policy in compliance with Florida  
Senate Bill 1632.  
B) Support negotiated costs under special circumstances.  
C) Offer a grace period for new homes built with ENR-OSTDS.  
D) Approve a flat rate or tiered billing for private water supply.  
E) Waive the requirement to assess property owners the IRC portion of the  
public infrastructure costs  
F) Reassess using the optional sales tax (OST) to offset a portion of the customer  
service cost.  
G) Waive or reduce certain IRC permit fees related to water and sewer  
connections.  
H) Endorse third-party financing programs.  
I) Authorize the Department of Utility Services to evaluate the development of its  
own financing options.  
J) Authorize sending out Mandatory Connection Notices in coordination with  
outreach efforts.  
Staff would return with additional information on Action E, which involved waiving  
property owner assessments for infrastructure costs not covered by grants.  
Commissioner Adams moved to approve proceeding with Actions B, C, D, F,  
G, H, I and J, and to have staff gather additional information on Action E for  
presentation to the Board at a future meeting.  
Vice Chairman Loar questioned the risks of delaying the decision until after the  
legislative session in January. Commissioner Adams emphasized the importance of  
timely action and affirmed that no harm would come from proceeding as outlined,  
stating that adjustments could be made post-session as necessary.  
A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Commissioner  
Moss, to approve moving forward with actions B, C, D, G, H, I, and J, and to  
come back with Action E. The motion carried by the following vote:  
3 - Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Earman, and Commissioner Moss  
2 - Chairman Flescher, and Vice Chairman Loar  
Aye:  
Nay:  
The Chairman called for a recess at 1:41 pm and reconvened at 1:56 pm, with all  
members present.

Disposition of Property Request to River Boat Club POA  
14.A.  
Recommended Action:  
Staff recommends the Board declare the riparian land dedicated to it via the River  
Boat Plat surplus and dispose of the property via quit claim deed to the River Boat  
Club POA, authorize the Chairman to execute all documents.

Affidavit of Publication - River Boat Docks  
Deputy County Attorney Susan Prado presented a proposal regarding a request from  
the River Boat Club Property Owners Association (POA) for the County to transfer  
ownership riparian, thereby allowing the POA to exercise direct control over the  
maintenance and management of the docks and facilities within the subdivision. She  
noted that the County had been acting as an intermediary since a license agreement  
was established in 1995. The proposed transfer would reduce County staff time and  
related costs, as the current fee collected did not cover expenses. To proceed, the  
County must declare the property surplus, and it can then be transferred via a Quit  
Claim Deed in accordance with the County Code and Florida Statute 125.35.  
Chairman Flescher stated that the property owners had been excellent stewards of the  
facility for many years.  
Representative from the POA, Bob Webster expressed his satisfaction in reaching this  
point, noting that they have been working towards this goal for almost 30 years. He  
acknowledged the County's reluctance to be involved in the dock leasing business,  
noting that it has consumed significant time and likely represented more value than the  
County has received. He stated that the River Boat Club community would be happy  
to take over responsibility and continue their efforts as good stewards of the area.  
Ms. Prado confirmed to Chairman Flescher that the County does not own the  
structures but only the land underneath them. The County would be relinquishing its  
rights to the underlying land. This included a small section on the mainland that was  
adjacent to the riparian area or the underlying water.  
A motion was made by Vice Chairman Loar, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to  
approve staff's recommendation and Resolution 2025-060, declaring a portion of  
land located in River Boat Club subdivision surplus and deeding any and all  
interest to the River Boat Club POA. The motion carried by the following vote:

Agreement for Opioid Settlement Fund Allocation - SEFBHN  
County Attorney Jennifer Shuler presented Amendment No. 2 to the Service  
Agreement with the Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network (SEFBHN)  
regarding the administration of Opioid Settlement proceeds in Indian River County.  
She highlighted the continuation of the relationship with SEFBHN.  
SEFBHN Chief Network Officer Amanda Busbin explained that SEFBHN issued a  
Request for Applications (RFA) for local providers to apply for opioid settlement  
funds, with eligibility criteria aligned with the Opioid Settlement Agreement and  
priority given to proposals addressing needs identified in Indian River County's Needs  
Assessment. The submission deadline was set for October 10, 2025.  
Chairman Flescher emphasized the importance of SEFBHN in securing opioid  
settlement funding for the County and clarified the roles of various organizations in the  
funding allocation process.  
Commissioner Adams expressed concerns about the decision-making authority  
between the Public Safety Coordinating Council (Council) and SEFBHN. Ms. Busbin  
confirmed that SEFBHN would lead the review process in collaboration with the  
Indian River Opioid Task Force, while the Board would make final funding decisions.  
The Board discussed accountability for the allocated funds. Vice Chairman Loar  
asked about monitoring to ensure funds were spent appropriately. Ms. Busbin  
explained that the 5% administrative fee covered compliance monitoring. Attorney  
Shuler clarified that the current Amendment would not grant the Board final approval  
over funding recipients, which diverges from previous practices. Commissioner Moss  
voiced concerns about agency allocations and emphasized the need for the Board’s  
involvement. Commissioner Adams suggested that the process mirror that of other  
committees, such as the Children’s Services Advisory Committee (CSAC) and the  
Tourist Development Council (TDC), in how they handle grant vetting. She advocated  
that the Council should vet these grants, with their recommendations going to the  
Board for final approval.  
Ms. Busbin responded to County Administrator Titkanich regarding the monthly  
processing of invoices for cost reimbursement agreements. She noted that while some  
providers followed a quarterly invoicing schedule, all were required to provide the  
necessary documentation for reimbursement at their designated intervals. Payments  
would only be processed after review.  
Attorney Shuler stated that, based on Board feedback, suggested modifying the  
language to require that any additions to the list of providers be approved by the  
Board, following recommendations from the Council.  
A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Chairman Flescher,  
to approve Amendment No. 2, modifying the language to require that any  
additions to the list of providers be approved by the Board, and quarterly reports  
sent to the Board from SEFBHN. The motion carried by the following vote:
