15.074 G. Presentation by Himanshu Mehta, Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District
Himanshu Mehta gave a Power Point presentation on the new Solid Waste trash pickup in
the unincorporated areas of the County and City of Fellsmere, and countywide recycling
program by Waste Management following an RFP process and scheduled to begin October
1, 2015 (see PP attached). He explained there is a mandate to get to 75% recycling in
Indian River County in five years, the county trash service will go to once per week carted
subscription service, and to a cart for one stream recycling countywide using a 65 gallon
cart. He said their trash contract can be piggybacked by other municipalities.
Mayor Gillmor noted that the City of Sebastian will continue to have twice per week regular
trash pickup for the remainder of the City's franchise term with Waste Management, while
the County will go to once a week.
Mr. Mehta asked for a location to house the recycling carts for distribution in the north
County, and said there will be an RIFD chip on the recycling carts to track usage and
provide education.
Ms. Coy said commercial recycling is lacking and asked how we could get them recycling.
Mr. Mehta said commercial recycling is not part of their assessment, and there is a State law
that says unless the governing bodies have adopted mandatory commercial recycling
ordinances, the County cannot put that fee on commercial properties, so it is an option that
they have and compared to what is out there now, single stream process will help them. Ms.
Coy said there is a reluctance to recycle by businesses, and it needs to be painless and
simple. Mr. Mehta said by early September the County should begin receiving carts and
begin delivering them.
15.075 H. Presentation by Alexis Thomas, Indian River County Environmental Specialist — New
Fertilizer Ordinances and Compliance
Alexis Thomas, IRC Stormwater Department, Stormwater Educator and Fertilizer Ordinance
Enforcement Officer, gave a Power Point presentation on the County's and several
municipalities' fertilizer ordinances and compliant fertilizers available in local stores (see PP
attached), and said there are educational bumper stickers on the back table. She briefly
went over the prohibitions and regulations of the ordinances, and reported that supplies of
compliant fertilizers have increased since last year locally.
Ms. Coy clarified that the City has an ordinance that is nearly the same as the County's and
Ms. Thomas is an IRC County employee and her jurisdiction is not Sebastian and she did
not want Sebastian residents to mistakenly call Ms. Thomas, suggesting perhaps our City
Environmental Specialist, Michelle Stromburg, can work closely with Ms. Thomas. Ms.
Thomas said the fertilizer companies are really stepping up lately to stock compliant
fertilizers. Ms. Coy asked if we could post her presentation on Channel 25 and she agreed,
and suggested use of her video which runs on the County stormwater website.

Mayor Gillmor opened the hearing 7:33 pm and the City Attorney read 0-15-05 by title.
There was no ex -parted communication to disclose.
The City Clerk swore in all who intended to provide testimony.
Chuck Mechling, applicant for Sandcrest, gave a brief explanation of prior approvals,
approval of his new design for 64 single family units, noting under the leadership of the City
Manager, Mr. Watanabe, Jan King and Dorri Bosworth it has been a pleasure to work with
the City on this development, cited a Press Journal article about growth awakening and the
fact that we have a special community growing but we keep in mind that we grow with
grace, staff has embraced this and they have all worked together as a team to bring
something that fits well in this geographic spot for this community and in the end will be an
asset.
Marty??, 132 Easy Street, spoke on behalf of eight residents around Bob Circle, and all are
on board with this, love the new revision, have gotten to know Chuck and Karen and are
impressed, and they are excited to break ground and move forward.
The City Manager commented that two conditions that came to Council have been met, the
environmental study and concurrency analysis from School Board. Ms. King gave the staff
report noting the action is rezoning from RM -8 and a small portion of RS -10 to PUD -
Residential, and conceptual development plan which outlines the rules and regulations they
will have to comply with, though conceptual it is very detailed, that this process is to
negotiate the minimum sizes and setbacks, and to obtain some waivers noting some items
are straight up to being negotiated, but others have specific regulations in the Land

Development Code. She said the applicant can ask for waivers from specific regulations and
the Council has authority to waive those regulations. She cited page 194 of the agenda
packet which sets out the parameters that the applicant is requesting for the subdivision and
those are the guidelines he will have to meet as he goes further down the road with the
preliminary plat and ultimately the final plat for the subdivision. In response to Mayor Gillmor,
Ms. King said this was approved unanimously by Planning and Zoning.
Mayor Gillmor called for those in favor to come forward and then those opposed and there
were no responses.
MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Mr. McPartlan to approve.
Roll Call: Ayes: Adams, Coy, Hill, McPartlan, Gillmor Nays: None Passed: 5-0
10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
15.081 A.
The City Manager said at the March 11, 2015 meeting, Council asked him to send a letter to
Ed Dodd, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission relating to a series of events
that occurred at the November 6, 2014 P&Z meeting, which he sent on March 12, 2015 and
then received a letter from Mr. Dodd in response, noting both letters are submitted for
Council's consideration.
Mayor Gillmor said Mr. Dodd was here and asked him if he would like to come and say
something.
Mr. Dodd said he had a short statement to make, thanked Mayor Gillmor for his phone call
which gave him a lot to think about as he went through this process. He cited the two main
themes that stood out to him as being issues relating to the November 6t meeting, the first
being the pedophile issue that came out and was a focal point to a lot of people and used a
lot, was first brought out by the applicant when describing meetings with the Elks Club and
the Charter School and questions that came out at the school as to how they would be
protected against pedophiles, and their response that they would have background checks
to do that. He said the word pedophile became a catch phrase for the large group in the
audience at the hearing. He said there is no one on Planning and Zoning, including him that
believes that people who drive RVs have any more incidents of being bad people at all. He
cited language from the Declaration of Independence, "it is imperative on governments
which derive their just powers from the consent of the governed that should allow the
governed to speak at public hearings" noting this was a public hearing and not quasi-
judicial, and the public was allowed to speak.
He then went on to the second issue, stating after being notified by the City Manager that he
had received a letter from Dr. Fischer he summarized three possible outcomes, 1) that he
would voluntarily resign, but was not willing to disregard his ten years of voluntary service to
the community in which felt he has done a good job; 2) that he write a letter to Dr. Fischer,
and that though truly sorry for using profanity which is not his nature, and in hindsight it
might have been best to call a recess at that point of the meeting, he said he has apologized
and will apologize again tonight for what he said to Dr. Fischer, but sees writing a letter to
Dr. Fischer as justification for Dr. Fischer approaching him. He said he is not able to do that
Regular City Council Meeting
April 8, 2015
Page Seven
it and is not within his code of ethics. He said option three is Council rescinding his position
on the Planning and Zoning Commission, fully understands that service on P&Z is at the
pleasure of the Council, and if it not their pleasure that he continue, he is okay with that.
Ms. Coy asked him to stay at the podium for a few questions, said she would preface her
comments with the fact that until that one meeting, this was not reflective of his ten years of
service and ability to run a meeting, but there was an incident that caused a lot of
consternation, and as chair even though people have a right to say things like pedophile, he,
as chair has a right to clarify and comment on it and there are ways to do that, citing how
Council handles it when someone from the public states something blatantly false, and said
that did not happen in this instance. She said we are here because Council asked you to
apologize to Dr. Fischer.
Mr. Dodd said again he was not here to discuss that issue and is not going to do that. He
said he was not willing to compromise his ethics because the five Council members asked
him to do that.
Ms. Coy said she was sorry to hear that because probably the hardest thing to do in life is to
say you are wrong and say I am sorry, but it is a sign of strength when you can admit you
made a mistake and right now the only thing you are admitting is that profanity was not a
good thing on TV.
Mayor Gillmor said in reviewing the meeting after that Mr. Dodd did apologize. Ms. Coy said
not to Doc Fischer, and Mayor Gillmor said he apologized to everyone in the audience. Ms.
Coy said Dr. Fischer was not in the audience. Mayor Gillmor said he was there and Mr.
Dodd said he was apologizing to everyone in the audience and to staff and everyone
watching TV.
Mr. Hill said with all due respect, Mr. Dodd just stood right there and said he will not
apologize to Dr. Fischer.
Mr. Dodd then approached the podium and Ms. Coy said to him that he left the podium
because he had nothing else to say and now he wants to come back. Mr. Dodd said he will
not write a letter of apology to Dr. Fischer.
Mr. Hill said this is unfortunate because he can't discount ten years of good service, but
there were many grievous mistakes made, and this Council gave a directive to apologize for
that meeting and the chairman is refusing and thumbing his nose at the request of this body
and that is almost as egregious as what occurred at the meeting. He said this is about a
directive and his outright refusal to say he is sorry, and said he wouldn't do that because it
would make what Dr. Fischer did alright. He said you can write a letter and this goes away,
but pride is getting in the way and disregard for this Council is just as egregious as what
occurred, that the disrespect and bullying that occurred at the meeting was unacceptable.
Ms. Coy said she agreed wholeheartedly and thought about this a lot, that being a Veteran
you have nothing more than your honor, and when you are embarrassed like that publicly it
is your honor period, it had nothing to do with money or the project, it had to do with the
person's integrity and their honor, and when you are disrespectful and refuse to say I
shouldn't have said that and I am sorry. She said there is something very personal about
this and we can't have personal issues sitting up here. She said we all asked for this letter
Regular City Council Meeting
April 8, 2015
Page Eight
and we can't have someone dismiss our directives because it is violates their sense of right
and wrong.
MOTION by Ms. Coy and SECOND by Mr. Hill to recommend his removal.
Mr. Adams said it is unfortunate this situation has come to what it is now and regardless of
what happened, we only know one side of the story and not what was said to Mr. Dodd, that
sometimes people fly off the handle, but believes Mr. Dodd has made amends and we have
more important things that we should be spending our time on and Mr. Dodd's service to the
City should be considered before Council takes any action or makes any decisions.
Mr. McPartlan said he kind of agrees with Mr. Adams on some of his points, Mr. Dodd's
service to the community and on Planning and Zoning, said he watched the November 6t'
meeting over and over and there were a lot of things, like the crowd getting out of hand. He
reminded Council we will have the meeting on April 15" on committees, noting there are no
public input procedures on their agendas, there are two sides to every story, and questioned
could Mr. Dodd have run the meeting better - yes. He said we asked Mr. Dodd to send a
letter of apology, and we would have loved it if he just wrote the letter so it would all just go
away but he didn't, though he came back here tonight and apologized for words that he said
again, but would not write the letter.
Ms. Coy responded he apologized for swearing on TV but not to the person.
Mr. McPartlan said he apologized for losing his cool, and the other aspect that he looks at is,
when you sit on this dais it is the same as you being a judge in a court of law and people
don't approach this bench, so was that seen as a sign of disrespect.
Mayor Gillmor responded that was an excellent point, citing that this has happened before
Council, and when it did, he called a recess and had them removed, and we would not be
talking about this if it had not gone out on the airwaves. He said he told Mr. Dodd that he
has done things in the heat of the moment and felt strongly he was in the right, but it is best
if you do the apology in person and still thinks that was the right thing to do and told him
that, but he himself was not sitting up there and doesn't know the other side of the story. He
said we are making mountain out of a molehill, and said again, if recess had been called
and the mike turned off we would not be here. He said Mr. Dodd apologized publicly to
everyone watching including Dr. Fischer. He said he wished he would have sent a note to
Dr. Fischer but did not want to lose a volunteer that has shown he can do a good job.
Mr. Hill responded that the mountain was made by the chairman for refusing a simple
request to write an apology.
Chuck Mechling said he did not know Mr. Dodd except though his appearance before
Planning and Zoning and that he handled the meeting with extreme professionalism and felt
if he didn't share that with Council he would be remiss, understands that Council needs to
make decisions and give direction and that there is a relationship with volunteer staff, but
sometimes at these meetings the crowd may have bad information and the dynamic
becomes almost beyond control and is a challenge to chair. He reiterated that when he went
before Planning and Zoning, Mr. Dodd conducted a meeting that was top notch and
professional.
Roll Call: Ayes: Coy, Hill Nays: McPartlan, Gillmor, Adams Failed: 2-3

Ms. Coy apologized to Dr. Fischer herself for the comments directed at him personally, hope
it never happens to anyone again, Mr. Dodd has given us assurance it won't happen again,
noted she has had her ups and downs and is not in Dr. Fischer's pocket.
