Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final December 4, 2018 Attachments: Staff Report Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment Application Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment Ordinance Strike Throuah and Underline Version of CIE 5 Year Schedule of Capital Improvements PROOF OF PUBLICATION FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD Chairman Solari made note that page 6 of staffs report had been replaced. Community Development Director Stan Boling, through the use of a PowerPoint Presentation, explained the purpose of the text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, and provided details regarding the adoption process as well as the preparations involved with the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the Plan. He highlighted the revisions made to the 5 Year Capital Improvements Program (CIP), summarized the expenditures by category, and announced proposed and ongoing projects. Director Boling explained that the correction to page 6 pertained to the Lagoon -benefitting projects, which will be funded by 20% of the proceeds of the first five years of the extended One -Cent Local Option Sales Tax. Among the Transportation projects mentioned was the proposed Aviation Boulevard Extension project, which would require negotiations with the Indian River Hospital District (the District). He also mentioned that staff has identified changes to the Transportation Element and portions of the CIE that need to be updated, and asked the Board to approve staffs recommendation and provide authorization for staff to approach the District about the Aviation Boulevard Extension project. Comments ensued about having the County's Public Works Department manage the Capital Improvements Projects for the Sheriffs Office; advancing certain water projects (particularly Lagoon friendly projects), in readiness for potential State funding; whether the improvements at the Sandridge Golf Club could be completed sooner than outlined; and developing out the new Pickleball Complex at South County Park sooner, in response to requests from residents. The Board consensus was to have the Lagoon -benefitting projects moved along to take advantage of a two-year window wherein Senator Debbie Mayfield would chair the State Appropriations Committee for Water Projects. Chairman Solari sought and received Board consensus to add a Public Education component to the proposed AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) AMI (Advanced Meeting Infrastructure) Meter Conversion project, and for staff to report back to the Board on post -recession deferred maintenance or capital expenditure items still outstanding.
