He said each uncounted person will remove $1,700 per year, for the next ten years, in federal money that will not come back to Indian River County.

PUBLIC INPUT Mayor Dodd admonished everyone to uphold the Civility Pledge. Cindy Geesey, resident, invited everyone to the Indian River County Tax Payers Association meeting, March 11 where the City Manager will giving a State of the City address followed by a County Commission candidate debate. Ms. Geesey stated communications on City letterhead by Council as one body must be approved before sending out. She stated she is filing an Ethics Commission complaint on two of the recent candidates. Diana Bolton, George Street, gave kudos to the Council Members and thanked them for their service. She also thanked Environmental Specialist Kimberly Haigler for her work with "Sustainable Sebastian" and the IPM Workshops. Regular City Council & CRA Meeting February 26, 2020 Page Three She also thanked the Natural Resources Board, Dr. Graham Cox, and the three new Council Members for the "stop spraying initiative." She asked that the shredded tire chips be replaced with something else at three of the City parks. Mayor Dodd said he would have a conversation with her on this. Tim Borden, Fatima Court, said he has a little boy that loves going to the playgrounds which are being taken over by the fire ants. He said until there is a solution he asked that they be sprayed one more time before they can't use them at all. Robert Stephen, 150 Concha Drive, thanked the new Council Members for the moratorium on spraying and suggested removing the fire ant nests surgically. Tracey Cole, Sebastian, said she was speaking on behalf of "Sebastian Voters Against Gilliams and Parris," her group has been intimidated and threats have been made against her and her husband's home which she wanted the Council to know is insured. She requested that two of the Council Members change seats on the dais. Christopher Nunn, Sebastian, said he is one of the leaders for the recall which is a group that want competent and moral leadership from City Council. He said everything on their (recall) Facebook page is from factual information which has a goal and focus. He said intimidation and threats would be taken seriously noting the last two paragraphs on the papers that Council Member Gilliams left on the back table are threatening. He said he speaks for the group who are concerned for retaliation because they are working for a better Sebastian the right way. Dr. Graham Cox, 1213 George Street, thanked Council for what they have been doing regarding pesticides. He said the IPM Sub -Committee has met three times and witnessed the problems first hard at the parks. He reported they are looking at pests and alternative ways to deal with them. He said he is convinced that the Leisure Services Director, Environmental Technician and the parks staff know what they are doing when it comes to the parks. He said now is the crucial month to deal with the pests and he suggested that after Council has heard from the Leisure Services Director they should consider lifting the pesticide ban in the parks with conditions: Continue the IPM Sub -Committee schedule and have the Committee stay active beyond April to look at longer term solutions such as alternative chemicals as well as non -toxic means such as mechanical, cultural, and biological control. He asked Council to unanimously agree to lift the ban in the parks. Patrick Powers, 252 Barbosa Street, said he was a golf course superintendent and was here to help noting it is physically impossible to develop an IPM in six weeks; failure to suppress anything is not cost effective. He said when he went to Clemson University where the Department of Transportation implemented Kudzu to suppress erosion and now they can't get rid of the Kudzu. He asked Council to give the Leisure Services Director the ability to develop the program. Regular City Council 8 CRA Meeting February 26, 2020 Page Four William Pellilier, Lobster Terrace, said he has been a resident for 15 years and has an interest in the Council meetings where he has witnessed many changes. He said he had voted for Council Member Gilliams and now he is ashamed and embarrassed and would like to change his vote. Ben Hooker, said Mayor Dodd has changed as a council member within the past three months; there is a small fraction working to impede, restrict, and impeach two of the Council Members. Bill Flinn, member of the community for 35 years, said most of the members of the "Sebastian Voters Against Gilliams and Parris" are City residents, he was outraged with a Facebook post by Council Member Parris and the behavior of Council Member Gilliams at the last meeting which is not what they want to have in a Council Member. In regard to the spraying at the parks, he suggested that the City do a structured change with proven results. Clesson Hammond, Columbus Street, said at the last meeting Council Members Gilliams requested transparency and an investigation regarding the new attorney; he suggested transparency start with Ms. Parris' Facebook post and the deleted text messages from Mr. Gilliams' City cell phone. Judith Evans Gallagher, Holden Avenue, asked everyone to behave more responsibly; to suggest a recall with no provable evidence of malice or misfeasance is a dangerous way to go as they could be doing it every time they have an election. Brian O'Neill, Member of the IPM Sub -Committee and Natural Resources Board said the Leisure Services Director and his crew are professionals who are being hampered by the spraying ban; the longer the City waits the more it will cost the City. The green chemicals and mechanical removal are not cheap so there will be some budget issues to address. Russell Herrmann, 586 Redwood Court, said last November three new Council Members were elected by the citizens of Sebastian, defeating three fine people that badly handled the citizen enlightenment regarding the Graves Brothers annexation. Pat Mandell, Carnival Terrace, said she is against the recall but if they were to talk about it, she asked why they aren't recalling Council Member Hill. She said the new Council Members are for transparency, they have welcomed the residents and been listening to them. Larry Mandell said everybody had their opportunity during the election to present their cases and Council Member Gilliams and Parris won. He said if people don't like them they can be removed at the next election. Louise Kautenburg, 26 year resident, stated there was an implication that citizens have been restricted from speaking to City Council and it has never happened; as long as the rules have been followed, people have been able to speak their mind. Regular City Council & CRA Meeting February 26, 2020 Page Five She said the recall election is a legal process promulgated by the state of Florida and those concerned just have to show up and vote their own feelings. Mayor Dodd reported there was some vandalism to Council Member Gilliams' cars and the foyer of his real estate building which is unacceptable behavior. The individuals involved in the recall have the right to go through the process; everyone should respect that as well as respect those that don't want a recall. Council Member Gilliams said he was for the recall if it is justifiable but shame on those who come to his home and throw eggs on his vehicles and at his business. He said if people wanted to come to his home to meet, just call him but don't vandalize his property. 7:07 pm 9. Recess Citv Council Meetino and Convene as Communitv Redevelopment Agency A.

COMMITTEE REPORTS & APPOINTMENTS 20.010 A. Inlearated Pest Manacement Parks Update (Transmittal) Mayor Dodd thanked the Leisure Services Director and Environmental Technician for their work on this plan which is in addition to their normal workload. Regular City Council & CRA Meeting February 26, 2020 Page Eight The Leisure Service Director said they have identified some biological, cultural, and mechanical solutions that will reduce the use of chemicals in the long term. Last week the committee members visited Barber Street and Friendship Park. The Environmental Technician said the committee has received a draft of the first section of the plan which is the implementation, scheduled reporting and community outreach elements. The committee has come to the determination that the biological, cultural, and mechanical control methods can maintain the pest populations up to a certain threshold but are not effective once the pest populations have surpassed that threshold; once under control other biological methods could be introduced again. Christine Kelly-Begazo, WAS Extension Agent, said she has been reading the committee's documents and she believed they are on the path for a firm, yet reliable plan for implementing an integrated pest management plan in the County as well as City. Council Member Parris asked if there was any temporary solution. Ms. Kelly-Begazo said there is an acceptable level of threshold, once over that level it is difficult to control those pests so they will have to use chemicals to bring the population down to be controlled by other methodologies which rarely need to be treated again; the present level does need a chemical product. She said there is a whole variety of chemicals but it depends on the pest; glyphosate is good when used properly noting homeowners are using glyphosate because it is cheap, easy to use and effective. She advised to use the expertise of their staff. Ms. Kelly-Begazo said there are a couple different methodologies for fire ants. Ms. Kelly-Begazo said fertilizer applicators they are required to take the restricted use program (RUP) class and she recommended that the City's staff take this class. She said some of the best management practices guidelines are regulated by FDACS. Council Member Hill noted the IPM is a part of the best management practice plan; it will decide what type of plant to put where, irrigation spacing and what type of pesticide should be used all with the least environmental impact. MOTION by Mayor Dodd and a SECOND by Council Member Hill to suspend the rules to allow Council to take action and allow the Leisure Services Director to do some things now or they will have problems. Mayor Dodd explained they cannot take action under this heading. The City Attorney advised that suspending the rules would require two-thirds vote. There was a unanimous show of hands to suspend the rules by Council. The Leisure Services Director said the fire ants, mole cricket larvae, dollar weed, crab grass, sedge grass, torpedo grass, and coos grass were a concern at the parks. MOTION by Mayor Dodd and SECOND by Council Member Hill to allow the Parks Department to selectively treat the pests as needed to keep the parks in shape but not include the use of RoundUp. Regular City Council 8 CRA Meeting February 26, 2020 Page Nine In response to Council, the Leisure Services Director stated the lifting of the ban was not discussed at the IPM workshop, only that they need to move forward with what they know works for the fire ants. 7:43 pm Tom Hill thanked Council for letting the Leisure Services Director get the parks under control. Dr. Graham Cox said they should use these months to get the pests under control. Diana Bolton said the Leisure Services Director and Environmental Technician did not give the D- Limonene/citrus based oil adequate time to work. She said she didn't want to lift ban because they need another fix; they should continue to look for alternatives. Ben Hooker asked if the golf course maintenance contract included taking care of the grass. Mayor Dodd advised that the contractor was. Bob Stephen asked if they were lifting the whole ban. Mayor Dodd said only for the parks. The Leisure Services Director said they would use Top Choice at Barber Street and Advion on the mounds at the passive parks for the fire ants. Council Member Gilliams asked to amend the motion to allow a review every 30-60 days. Mayor Dodd said he was not in favor of amending his motion because he was comfortable with staffs discretion noting the Leisure Services Director would be providing IPM Subcommittee reports at future Council meetings. Council Member Parris asked if the fire ants would be controlled until April 8. The Leisure Services Director said it would allow them to get a better handle on what is happening and asked them to remember the thresholds are above where they should be; they will continue the IPM process and look for biological means. Vice Mayor Mauti said he was in favor of following what Dr. Cox said and let staff take action. Roll rail: Council Member Parris - aye Mayor Dodd - aye Vice Mayor Mauti - aye Council Member Gilliams - aye Council Member Hill - aye Motion carried 5-0. Mayor Dodd thanked Dr. Cox and the other gentleman who is the golf course manager. He said he was excited that they will end up with something that will probably be used by all of Florida. 13.

Consider Council Member Parris' Reauest Re(�ardina Police Pension Board of Trustee Member Albert lovino (Transmittal. Parris' Reauest.

He said at the bottom of page 79, it stated that Mr. lovino has not started his service yet which he confirmed with the Pension Board's attorney so there is no malfeasance, misfeasance or abandonment of office. The City Attorney also advised that state law provides that the Governor can remove someone for certain circumstances so they can only remove for "without cause" which will require a super majority vote. Council Member Parris said she wanted to set back her motion after having a meeting with Chief Morris because the Chief advised that volunteers are hard to find. She rescinded her request. The City Attomey also advised that the only requirement for the position for which Mr. lovino was appointed to was that he be a resident, for which he is.
