9. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Ordinance - Amending Chapter 32-102 of the St. Lucie County Code - Blind Creek Park
Howard Tipton, County Administrator presented this item. The Ordinance would allow a
portion of Blind Creek Park to be designated as clothing optional. Designation of Blind Creek
as "Clothing Optional" does not mean that it is only for naturists. This is not an exclusive
designation for one group or one use. All members of the public have access to Blind Creek
Beach if they so choose. All the Ordinance accomplishes is to formally recognize a use that
has been happening for decades, provide for official signage of this designation, add to our
tourism portfolio, and through a companion resolution creates an official relationship with
the Treasure Coast Naturists that may include developing plans for additional amenities like
parking and bathrooms and possible ways to pay for these additions. Staff recommended
Board approval of an amendment to Chapter 32-102 of the St. Lucie County Code of
Ordinances which would allow a portion of Blind Creek Park to be designated as clothing
optional.
Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following citizens

B. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. Ordinance No. 20-09 - Regulating Retail Sale of Dogs and Cats.
Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney presented this item. The County currently does
not regulate the retail sale of dogs and cats other than through zoning under the Land
Development Code. The Animal Shelter Standards Committee has reviewed the issue and
recommends the Board consider adoption of an ordinance to establish regulations regarding
the health of dogs and cats sold by retail pet sellers and to further prohibit the retail sale of
dogs and cats with exceptions for governmental agencies and non-profit shelter and rescue
organizations. Proposed Ordinance No. 20-09 would establish Section 6-35 of the Code of
Ordinances to regulate the sale of dogs and cats in the unincorporated areas of the County.
Under the proposed ordinance, any retail pet seller would be required post a Certificate of
Source on the cage of any dog or cat offered to sale. Staff recommended the Board adopt
proposed Ordinance No. 20-09, as drafted.

3. COVID-19 Pandemic Disaster Recovery Plan
John Titkanich, Innovation & Performance Division Director presented this item. The impacts
(and extent) of COVID-19 may not be fully known to the community for both residents and
businesses at the time this recovery plan has been developed. Accordingly, the COVID-19
Pandemic Disaster Recovery Plan is formulated to be scalable, adaptable, and flexible to
allow for implementation of recovery operations as may be warranted based upon
anticipated known impacts and those potentially unknown at the time of plan development.
In a natural disaster, impacts may cause extensive damage to neighborhoods, roadways, and
other important infrastructure, and adversely affect the various economic drivers that serve
the entire community. For COVID-19, the impacts are largely believed to be public health
and economic hardship on both our business community and residents (e.g., housing, health,
and personal finances). Residents and businesses will expect, once the COVID-19 disaster is
"perceived" to be over, that their local governments and community partners will marshal
the necessary resources to respond and initiate the appropriate recovery activities to return
the community to a sense of normalcy. The goal of recovery is to return to a stable and
acceptable pre -disaster level, recognizing there will be a "New Normal."
Key Goals Include:
• Restoring health and medical services
• Promoting economic recovery
• Providing social support services Reestablishing self-sufficiency for residents
• Restoring educational, cultural, and environmental services
• The COVID-19 Pandemic Disaster Recovery Plan is consistent with: (1) Enabling
authority and guidance to conduct emergency operations consistent with the
National Response Framework Federal Law, such as the Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act and Federal Response Plan. (2) The Florida Emergency
Management Act. (3) St. Lucie Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. (4) St.
Lucie County Resolutions and Ordinances adopted by the BOCC related to Emergency
Management. (5) COVID-19 Declarations, Executive Orders, Resolutions and
Guidelines. (6) Federal and State Reopening Guidelines and Plans: White House
Opening Up America Again and Governor DeSantis' Safe. Smart. Step -by -Step. Plan
for Florida's Recovery.
