ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 2004-004 authorizing the filing of a FY 2003/04 Grant Application for 49 USC Ch. 53, Section 5307 Mass Transit Capital and Operating Assistance (Federal Transit Administration – Indian River County Council on Aging). 9.A.4. PUBLIC HEARING – RESOLUTION 2004-005 CONFIRMING ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR CERTAIN PAVING AND STTH DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS TO 41 AVENUE FROM 6 TH STREET TO 8 STREET IN CITRUS GARDENS SUBDIVISION (PROJECT #9922) PROOFOFPUBLICATIONOFADVERTISEMENTFORHEARINGISONFILEINTHEOFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD County Engineer Chris Kafer stated that 15 of 21 property owners, just over 71%, are in favor of the project and that a public information meeting had been held on November 19, 2003. Commissioner Neuberger asked if there were a way to save the oak tree in the intersection, and Mr. Kafer stated that it is offset to the south and would compromise the design of the improvements. Commissioner Adams suggested that the tree could be relocated to an existing park or to the fairgrounds. The costs to relocate the tree would not be part of the assessment but, as County policy, we should pay for the relocation. Public Works Director Jim Davis felt that the cost of moving the tree would be comparable to the County’s share of the cost of the project and he was uncertain whether the tree would live. Commissioner Adams said this was a perfect time of year to move the tree and a crane could be brought in to move it. Director Davis thought it might be better to just leave the tree and redesign the project. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lowther, SECONDED by Commissioner Neuberger, to direct staff to redesign the project and bring it back to the Board JANUARY 6, 2004 11
