Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final August 13, 2019 Attachments: Staff Report Sample Agreement Public Works Director Rich Szpyrka recounted for the Board that in April 2013, the Vero Lake Estates Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) Committee provided a prioritized list of roadways that needed to be milled or paved, including the stretch of 85th Street from 96th Avenue to 101st Avenue. Director Szpyrka explained that millings roads, while less expensive than paved roads, degraded faster than had been projected and resulted in time-consuming, short-term fixes. Additionally, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) did not recognize asphalt millings as a permanent driving surface which left the County without standards to evaluate their construction quality. The project was bid with a base cost for millings and an alternate cost to add paving. Given the concerns with the longevity and quality of millings roadways, staff recommended the alternate bid for paving. A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Vice Chairman Adams, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 4 - Chairman Solari, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner O'Bryan, and Commissioner Zorc Absent: 1 - Commissioner Flescher G Utilities Services 12.G.1. 19-0752 North Sebastian Septic to Sewer Phase 2 Status and Direction Recommended Action: There are numerous benefits to be gained by the construction of a sanitary sewer collection and conveyance system in the revised area. A primary benefit, if implemented, will be the elimination of numerous pre -1983 septic systems in the area that have less than 6 -inch separation between the drainfield and the groundwater table, which may result in nutrient loadings to groundwater table and potential nutrient transfer to the Indian River Lagoon. Given that a majority of the existing septic systems are pre -1983, the protection and restoration of the Indian River Lagoon is currently a contentious topic, and the health, economic viability, sustenance and well-being of the residents in the subject area are vital, staff recommends moving forward with the revised project. Staff requests the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorize staff to: 1. Present details of the revised project to include anticipated costs to benefitting property owners at a community meeting. Therefore, request staff work with the Roseland Community leaders to get the word out prior to the community meeting; and, 2. Update the BCC of the outcome of the community meeting prior to the execution of the FY 19-20 Legislative Appropriations grant. Attachments: Staff Report Indian River County Florida Page 24
