Mr. Melton states he would like the pistol permit for protection of his property. In the State of Florida, he does not need a permit to have a gun in his own dwelling place. 2. Because of an extensive past record through the Indian River County Sheriff's Department - Record Division, it is felt that a pistol permit would not be advis- able. Because of the two items listed. above, I feel Mr..Hassel Melton should not be issued a pistol permit. r yo SAM T.

' WILLIAM C. WODTKE, dfiairman Board of County Commissioners Indian River County JAN 2 4 1979 L. a«� '8 PAPE 446 MARY BRAY SHARP, CO-CHAIRMAN OF INDIAN RIVER DAYS FESTIVAL, APPROACHED THE BOARD TO DISCUSS A PROCLAMATION AND THE EVENTS TO BE HELD WITHIN THE COUNTY FROM MARCH 1-11, 1979. SHE THANKED THE COUNTY COMMISSION,.ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS AND SHERIFF .JOYCE FOR THEIR HELP LAST YEAR AND INFORMED THE BOARD THAT 30 EVENTS ARE PLANNED FOR THE SECOND INDIAN RIVER DAYS FESTIVAL, AMONG THEM A STREET DANCE, "ANYTHING GOFS," GO -TO -CHURCH -ON -SUNDAY, ETC. THE PURPOSE IS TO HAVE A COMMUNITY -WIDE FESTIVAL FOR ALL AGES AND INCOME BRACKETS TO HAVE FUN AND NOT TO RAISE MONEY. SHE REQUESTED THAT THE BOARD PROCLAIM MARCH 1 TO 11 AS INDIAN RIVER DAYS FESTIVAL WEEK. MRS. SHARP CONTINUED THAT THE STREET DANCE WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 3RD AT THE VERO MALL, AND THE UNITED WAY CAN PROCURE A LIQUOR LICENSE TO SELL BEER AND WINE FOR ONE DAY; "ANYTHING, GOES" WILL BE HELD AT THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY RIDING CLUB ON KINGS HIGHWAY; AND A BIG BAND DANCE IS TENTATIVELY PLANNED AT GULF STREAM LUMBER BUILDING. SHE CONTINUED THAT FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED EVENTS, SHE WOULD NEED THE COUNTY'S APPROVAL AND THE AID OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. TWO CELEBRITIES ARE COMING AND WILL NEED PROTECTION, CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR WILL BE HAPPY TO ASSIST AND HE FELT SURE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT WOULD COOPERATE, HE INSTRUCTED ATTORNEY COLLINS TO PREPARE A PROCLAMATION FOR INDIAN RIVER DAYS FESTIVAL WEEK. DANA HOWARD, ENGINEER, OF CARTER ASSOCIATES, INC., APPEARED BEFORE THE BOARD TO OBTAIN FINAL APPROVAL OF DETTORE ACRES SUBDIVISION. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT HE FOUND THE PLAT IN ORDER AND WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF DETTORE ACRES SUBDIVISION. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY GRANTED FINAL APPROVAL OF DETTORE ACRES SUBDIVISION. DEAN LUETHJE, OF CARTER ASSOCIATES, APPROACHED THE BOARD TO DISCUSS THE UTILITY AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT PLAT FOR RIVERA ESTATES. THIS WAS PLATTED AND RECORDED IN 1925, WHEN THE AREA WAS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF VERO BEACH. JOHN MAGUIRE HAS PURCHASED THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT, ALL THE WAY TO RT. 60. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY ARE PLANNING TO DEVELOP THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SUBDIVISION AS PHASE ONE AND PROVIDE DRAINAGE I I ';>A 7 AT THAT POINT FROM AN EXISTING BORROW PIT. MR. LUETHJE STATED THAT WHEN THE NEXT PHASE IS DEVELOPED, THEY PLAN TO FILE ANOTHER UTILITY AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT PLAT WHICH WILL PROBABLY COVER THE ENTIRE SUBDIVISION. HE CONTINUED THAT MR. MAGUIRE ACTUALLY HAS PURCHASED ALL OF THE LAND, BUT MRS. WALKER, WHO HAS HER HOME THERE, WILL BE ALLOWED TO STAY UNTIL IT IS DEVELOPED. MR. LUETHJE NOTED THAT THE ROADS ARE DEDICATED AND WILL BE CURBED AND GUTTERED. THEY ARE CULVERTING THE DRAINAGE ON THE REAR LOT LINE. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED WHAT THE REASON WAS FOR NOT REPLATT_ING, AND MR. LUETHJE EXPLAINED THAT IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO TO 1/2 ACRE LOTS, BUT NOW THEY ARE GRANDFATHERED IN. BY FILING ANOTHER PLAT, THEY ARE JUST ADDING THE SERVICES TO IT, WHICH DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THE BOARD SHOULD MAKE SOME AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER FOR THE ROADS TO BE PUT IN ACCORDING TO SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS EXPLAINED THAT THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AND IS TO BE DONE, BUT AN AGREEMENT WOULD BE FINE. $INCE THIS IS AN OLD PLATTED SUBDIVISION, NO DRAINAGE WAS SHOWN, AND THEY ARE JUST PLANNING TO UPGRADE THE OLD SUBDIVISION, USING THE SAME LAYOUT. MR. LUETHJE COMMENTED THAT THE ROADS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO j COUNTY SPECIFICATIONS AND THERE IS A CONTRACT ON THEM, HE STATED THEY WOULD LIKE TO FINALIZE THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS RECOMMENDED THAT THE ROADS BE BUILT ' JUST AS THEY HAVE THEM DESIGNED, BUT EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE COUNTY HAVING ASSURANCE THAT THE ROADS WILL BE PAVED ACCORDING TO COUNTY REQUIRE- MENTS BEFORE THEY PROCEED TO SELL THE LOTS, HE'SUGGESTED FILING A PERFORMANCE BOND. MR. LUETHJE STATED HE COULD NOT ANSWER WHETHER HIS CLIENT WOULD FURNISH A BOND, AND NOTED THAT HIS CLIENT'S ATTORNEY STATED THAT LEGALLY .�� THE LOTS COULD BE SOLD RIGHT NOW AS THIS IS A RECORDED SUBDIVISION. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS AGREED THEY COULD, BUT FELT ANYBODY BUYING THESE LOTS WOULD HAVE TROUBLE GETTING A BUILDING PERMIT. HE AGAIN EXPRESSED CONCERN AS TO WHAT ASSURANCE THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE THAT MR. LUETHJE'S CLIENT WOULD COMPLETE THE IMPROVEMENTS IN EACH UNIT. E JAN 2 41979 Nk PAX40 COMMISSIONER SIEBERT AGREED THAT BEFORE THE COUNTY ACCEPTS THOSE ROADS, THEY HAVE TO BE COMPLETED TO COUNTY SPECIFICATIONS OR A BOND WILL HAVE TO BE POSTED. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT; SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LOY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY GRANTED TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF THE UTILITY' AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT PLAT FOR .RIVERA ESTATES, CONDITIONED UPON THE � DEVELOPER COMPLETING CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROADS ACCORDING TO COUNTY SPECIFICATIONS OR PROVIDING A BOND TO INSURE COMPLETION PRIOR`TO FINAL APPROVAL. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS CAME BEFORE THE BOARD TO REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE AN ADDITIONAL 100' OF SILT CURTAIN FOR MARINE CONSTRUCTION. HE EXPLAINED THAT WE NOW HAVE 100' OF THIS SILT, OR*TURBIDITY, CURTAIN, AND MOSQUITO CONTROL HAS 100'. THERE ARE TWO COMPANIES'IN THE STATE THAT MANUFACTURE THIS MATERIAL. WE PREVIOUSLY PAID $6.40 PER FOOT AND NOW CAN GET 100' AT $5.00 PER FOOT. MR. THOMAS COMMENTED THAT NOW THE JOB HAS TO BE STOPPED EVERY TEN DAYS TO CLEAN BARNACLES FROM THE CURTAIN, AND IN ORDER TO MAKE A JOB CONTINUOUS, THEY NEED TO KEEP ONE*IN RESERVE. HE NOTED THAT IT IS REQUIRED TO USE THE CURTAINS IN FRESH WATER AS WELL AS SALT WALTER,—ANYWHERE YOU CREATE TURBIDITY. MR. THOMAS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT FUNDS ARE NOW BEING MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH FEDERAL GRANTS FOR REPLACEMENT OF BRIDGES, AND WE ARE CURRENTLY DOING AN INVENTORY OF BRIDGES IN THE COUNTY, ON MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR TO PURCHASE AN ADDITIONAL 100' OF SILT CURTAIN OUT OF FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS FOR APPROXIMATELY $500, SUBJECT TO'GETTING PROPOSALS FROM BOTH COMPANIES. THE BOARD NEXT TOOK UP A REQUEST FROM SIGURD N. HERSLOFF, JR. REGARDING SEWER NEEDS IN INDIAN SUMMER, A TOWNHOUSE PROJECT. MEMORANDUM FROM UTILITY MANAGER GEORGE MORGAN DATED OCTOBER 31, 1978 IS HEREBY MADE A PART OF THE MINUTES. 10 Root 38 pAu 449 JAN 2 4 1979 I RWRANDUM TO: Jack Jennings October 31, 1975 PWKz.George Morgan RE: Indian Summer Waste Water Mr. Sigurd N. Hersloff, Jr., has requested approval to tie the Indian -Sumner waste water into the county waste water system in the Pebble Bay area. -Rich votapka and myself have studied the feasibility of additional waste water to the system and the following are the results: The present connections on the systemduring peak flows produce 69,000 G.P.D. With the addition of 36 units from Indian Sunner the total glow would be approximately 91,000 G.P.D. during peak flows. The plant flow design is 100,000 G.P.D. Mathematically matching 'the actual glow (.091) against the design flow (.100) it would seem .the plant could handle this flow. Due to the fact that peak flows occur during approximately ten hours of the day the plant would be hydraulically overloaded. The plant would not meet D.E.R. efficiency requirements with this overloaded condition. The result could be citations and fines and an unpleasant odor in the area surrounding the plant. The present lift station located at the southeast corner of the Indian Summer property will have to be modified to handle the increased flow. The solution to the problem is to install a splitter box with a surge tank at the head of the plant. The motors at the lift station would have to be increased -from 3 HP to 7� 11P to increase the nu. -nn speed. A new duplex control panel would have to be installed to insure u continual movement of wastewater into the lift station. An estimated cost of this entire project would be $20,000. Was �ooK 38 PAcE 450 ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARD A POSITION PAPER, WHICH IS ALSO MADE A PART OF THESE MINUTES. POSITION PAPER PROBLEM: Surge Tank Requirement at Pebble Bay Sewage Treatment Plant The Pebble Bay Sewage Treatment Plant has a capacity of. 100,000 GPD. At the present time, there are 168 condominiums and 31 residences that are on the system. Using a factor of 2.5 persons per condo and 3.5 per residence, sewage requirements equal 53,850 GPD. Through close supervision of the plant oper- ation, the system would not normally be overloaded. There will be occasions of surges that will cause a temporary overload; however, the condition can be corrected within the time limit required by D.E.R. Indian Summer has plans to construct 36 units and would like to join the Pebble Bay System, This would overload the present system and would require a modification. -if they are allowed to join the system, an additional capa- city of 9,000 GPD would be required. Two 5,000 gallon surge tanks with flow regulator would be adequate to handle the increased sewage generated by the addition of the 36 units. The cost of the surge tanks is estimated to be $15,000. It is recommended that the position of the•County would ' ,y be: 1. That Indian Summer be allowed to join the system if they pay the cost of the surge tank modification. 2. That Indian Summer be allocated a maximum of 36 units. 3. That the current tap in fee remain at $200 per unit. 12 JAN 2 41979 Boor 38 r .451 IT WAS NOTED THAT THE MEMORANDUM ESTIMATES A COST OF $20,000 AND THE POSITION PAPER $15,000, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF ENGINEER BEINDORF HAS SEEN THE "POSITION PAPER." ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON EXPLAINED THAT ENGINEER BEINDORF WAS ONE OF THE DRAFTERS OF THE "POSITION PAPER," AND FURTHER NOTED THAT THE $15,000 ONLY PERTAINS TO THE SURGE TANK. -THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE COST OF THE MOTORS COME OUT OF THE $200 TAP -IN FEE, CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED REPRESENTATIVES OF INDIAN SUMMER IF THEY WERE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE RECOMMENDATION. ROBERT PINCHUK, REPRESENTING MR. HERSLOFF, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND STATED THEY WERE NOT IN AGREEMENT. HE CONTINUED THAT AT ONE TIME THE COUNTY HAD APPROVED A SITE PLAN FOR THE 54 UNITS NOW IN EXISTENCE AT VERA CRUZ PLUS 72 UNITS TO BE PUT ON THE 4.1 ACRES NOW IN QUESTION. THE BALANCE OF,THOSE UNITS WERE TO BE PUT INTO THE INDIAN RIVER UTILITIES SYSTEM, BUT DUE TO FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, THE UNITS WERE NEVER CONSTRUCTED. MR. PINCHUK INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY HAD ALREADY PURCHASED FROM THE CITY SUFFICIENT WATER METERS IN ORDER TO DO THIS JOB; SO THE CITY AGREED THAT THE DEVELOPERS WOULD GET THE WATER. THE CITY•ASKED THEM ABOUT THE SEWER AND THEY TOLD THE CITY IT WAS GOING TO THE INDIAN RIVER UTILITIES PLANT, WHICH WAS NOT QUESTIONED AT THAT TIME. NOW THEY FIND THAT, BASED UPON REPORTS FROM THE COUNTY, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE INDIAN RIVER UTILITIES PLANT. MR. PINCHUK COMMENTED THAT WHAT THEY REALLY WANT AT THIS TIME ' IS A BUILDING PERMIT TO BUILD 7 UNITS,EVEN THOUGH THEIR OVERALL APPLICATION IS FOR 36 UNITS. HE NOTED THAT UNITS NEXT DOOR TO THEM HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO HOOK UP AND ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO PAY ANYTHING,AND THE DEVELOPERS, OF INDIAN SUMMER FEEL "PUT UPON" BY BEING ASKED TO PAY THE ENTIRE AMOUNT. HE STATED THAT THEY ARE PREPARED TO PAY, BUT THEY JUST DONT FEEL IT IS FAIR FOR THEM TO DO IT ALL. HE POINTED OUT THAT MR. LOHMAN WAS AUTHORIZED TO OPERATE THE PLANT, AND THEY HAD FELT THEY COULD TAKE HIS WORD ABOUT USING INDIAN RIVER UTILITIES. MR, PINCHUK ASKED, IF THESE SURGE TANKS WERE PUT IN AND THE DEVELOPERS PAID AS RECOMMENDED, WOULD THEIR 36 UNITS BE ALL THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED TO HOOK UP TO THAT PLANT. 13 JAN 2 41979 . 38 PA -UE 452 1 L�J COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT THE ANSWER IS "NO" AND NOTED THAT THE COUNTY HAS A PARK IN THAT LOCATION AND WOULD WANT TO TAP IN TO THE PLANT EVENTUALLY. MR. PINCHUK STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE RELUCTANT, BASED ON THEIR INVESTMENT, FOR OTHERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE BY BEING ALLOWED TO HOOK-UP,.. WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY AS THEY ARE ASKED TO PAY, ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS POINTED OUT THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WAS PLANNED OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, AND HE DID NOT FEEL THE FACT THAT A RECESSION CAME AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO CARRY IT OUT AS PLANNED HAS ANY BEARING ON THE COUNTY. HE NOTED THAT THE COUNTY, IN THE MEANTIME, HAS HAD TO TAKE OVER A SEWERAGE PLANT WITH CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS AND PROBLEMS, AND HE FELT THAT THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD PUT UP THE FRONT END MONEY TO COVER THE ADDITIONAL SURGE THEY WILL BE CREATING WHEN THEY PUT 36 UNITS ON THIS SYSTEM. HE POINTED OUT -THAT THEIR ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE TO PUT IN A PACKAGE PLANT AND GO IN THE SEWER BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES. CHAIRMAN WODTKE INTERJECTED THAT THE COUNTY 'ENGINEERS SAY THAT THE PLANT IS UP TO CAPACITY AND CANNOT HANDLE 36 ADDITIONAL UNITS. HE STATED THAT HE IS NOT IN FAVOR OF THE COUNTY PAYING ADDITIONAL MONEY TO ENLARGE THE CAPACITY OF THE PLANT, WHEN THE 201 STUDY IS IN PROGRESS, AND WE MAY BE GETTING RID OF THE PLANT. MR. PINCHUK COMMENTED THAT THEY WANT THE PLANT TO BE OPERABLE AND EFFICIENT. HE MAINLY WISHED TO DETERMINE IF THEY WERE GOING TO BE THE ONLY UNITS WHO HOOK INTO THAT SURGE TANK AND IF THE ANSWER IS "YES," HE WOULD WRITE A CHECK FOR $15,000 IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, IF SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO COME IN AND WANTS TO USE IT AFTER THEY HAVE PAID TO MAKE IT OPERABLE, HE FEELS HE WANTS TO LOOK TO HIS GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT HIS INTEREST. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT MR, PINCHUK CANNOT TELL THE COUNTY HOW OR WHO THEY CAN HOOK UP TO -THIS SYSTEM AND THE ONLY GUARANTEE THE COUNTY CAN GIVE HIM IS THAT SET OUT IN THE POSITION PAPER WHICH STATES THAT THE $15,000 IS NECESSARY TO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL CAPACITY OF 9,000 GPD -TO HANDLE THE "INCREASED SEWERAGE GENERATED BY THE ADDITION OF THE 36 UNITS." JAN 2 4 1979 14 Boos 38 PAGE 453 ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD MR. PINCHUK'S POSITION, AND FELT THAT IF ANYONE ADDITIONAL WISHED TO COME IN AND IT REQUIRED FURTHER EXPANSION, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.- HE NOTED THAT THE COUNTY CAN'T GET IN THE POSITION OF ENLARGING A -SEWER SYSTEM EVERY TIME A DEVELOPER COMES IN. COMMISSIONER $IEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE COST FOR THE 36 UNITS WOULD BE $27,200 OR $756 PER UNIT. THE INDIVIDUAL APPLICANT PAYS ONLY. $200 FOR THE TAP -IN FEE, AND HE DID NOT THINK THIS WAS FAIR. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS FELT THAT THE TAP -IN FEE SHOULD REMAIN AT A FIXED FEE'OF $200 UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE BOARD DECIDES TO CHANGE IT. HE FELT THAT WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT 36 UNITS, THIS IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENCE. MR. PINCHUK SUGGESTED THAT THEY PUT $15,000 IN AN ESCROW ACCOUNT TO BE USED FOR THE SURGE TANK SYSTEM; THAT THE $200 TAP -IN FEE BE WAIVED, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN LIFT STATION BASED ON THE COUNTY'S CRITERIA. COMMISSIONER $IEBERT FIRMLY STATED THAT THE LIFT STATION MUST BE PART OF THE COUNTY'S SYSTEM AND THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY. COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED IF WE FOLLOWED MR, PINCHUK'S SUGGES- TION, WE WOULD BE SETTING A POLICY WHEREBY LIFT STATIONS WOULD BE PART OF THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS. COMMISSIONER $IEBERT STATED HE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH REQUIRING THE DEVELOPER TO PAY AS PROPOSED AS LONG AS WE REQUIRE ANYBODY ELSE WHO w IMPACTS THE SYSTEM TO PAY AT AN IDENTICAL RATE. COMMISSIONER Loy POINTED OUT THAT THEIR REQUEST IS FOR 36 UNITS WHICH WILL OVERLOAD THE PRESENT SYSTEM AND REQUIRE MODIFICATION. SHE' FELT IF AN INDIVIDUAL APPLIES AND THERE IS CAPACITY, THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO PRORATE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM. SHE DID NOT FEEL IT IS FAIR TO COMPARE AN INDIVIDUAL TO A 36 UNIT PROJECT.. SHE CONTINUED THAT SHE DID NOT LIKE TO SEE A DIME PUT INTO THE PLANT, HOPING WE COULD WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THE CITY. DISCUSSION CONTINUED ALONG THE SAME LINES. 15 JAN 241979 BdOK 38 PAGE 454 J I i i MR. PINCHUK STATED AGAIN THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY $15,000 FOR THE USE OF THE PLANT BUT ARE UPSET THAT THEY ALSO HAVE TO PAY A $200 HOOK-UP FEE, WHICH THEY FEEL IS LIKE PAYING TWICE FOR THE SAME THING. CHAIRMAN WODTKE EXPLAINED AGAIN THAT THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO HOOK UP THESE UNITS, THE COUNTY WILL, HOPEFULLY, , COMPLETELY DISPOSE OF THAT SYSTEM, AND IS NOT GOING TO PAY $15,000 TO ENLARGE IT KNOWING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO DISPOSE OF IT. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LOY, TO ACCEPT THE POSITION PAPER AND TO ALLOW INDIAN SUMMER TO ADD.THEIR 36 UNITS TO THE SYSTEM UPON PAYMENT OF $15,000 FOR THE SURGE TANK MODI- FICATION; THE TAP -IN FEE TO REMAIN AT $200 PER UNIT. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT REQUIRING A TAP -IN FEE WHENEVER WE HOOK INTO THE CITY SYSTEM, AND THE ATTORNEY FELT THIS WILL HAVE TO BE NEGOTIATED WITH THE CITY. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON POINTED OUT THAT WHENEVER WE DO TAP INTO THE CITY SEWER SYSTEM, IT WILL REQUIRE BUILDING A LIFT STATION FOR $20,000 TO $25,000. HE DID NOT FEEL THAT SHOULD BE OUR CUSTOMERS' RESPONSIBILITY. COMMISSIONER LOY EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THAT MAY NOT BE THE ONLY FEE, BUT SHE DID NOT FEEL THE CUSTOMERS COULD BE ASKED TO PAY TWICE, THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED WITH COMMISSIONER SIEBERT VOTING IN OPPOSITION. CHAIRMAN WODTKE BROUGHT UP THE NEXT ITEM IN REGARD TO A RELEASE OF EASEMENT REQUESTED BY CHELSEA TITLE & GUARANTY CO. IN CLEMANN ESTATES, UNIT No. 1. ATTORNEY COLLINS SAID HE DID NOT FEEL THAT CHELSEA TITLE CAN REPRESENT THE OWNER BECAUSE THERE IS NO WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM THE OWNER AND NO ONE IS PRESENT HERE AT THE MEETING. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LOY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO REMOVE THE ABOVE ITEM FROM THE AGENDA UNTIL WE RECEIVE WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION•FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR CHELSEA TITLE & GUARANTY CO. TO REPRESENT THEM. * - JAN 2 41979 16 �OOit 38 PAGE 433 N CHAIRMAN WODTKE NEXT DISCUSSED THE REQUEST FROM DR. C. C.

THE CHAIRMAN THEN REVIEWED THE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS IN THIS' AREA, NOTING THAT WE ORIGINALLY ESTIMATED 468 CUSTOMERS AND THERE ARE ACTUALLY 575; ALSO THERE -ARE A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF METERS NOW IN THE GROUND THAT ARE NOT BEING UTILIZED. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT WE HAVE HAD SOME CONCRETE INTEREST SHOWN IN NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION -IN THIS AREA, INCLUDING ONE THAT HAS REQUESTED WATER TAPS FOR 100 UNITS.

ENGINEER BEINDORF FELT IT WOULD BE ABOUT 210 CALENDAR DAYS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT IF WE BORROW THE MONEY AND GET THE GRANT TO DO THE WHOLE PROJECT, WE BETTER BE PREPARED TO SPEND IT ALL BECAUSE WE MUST USE THE BORROWED MONEY FIRST. THEREFORE, HE FELT WE •` SHOULD EITHER PLAN TO DO.THE WHOLE PROJECT OR REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF THE LOAN'.

ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON REPORTED ON THE VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEE DENTAL PROGRAM. HE EXPLAINED THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THEM AROUND, BUT THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS UNDERWRITTEN BY THE AMERICAN GUARANTEE LIFE INSURANCE CO., AND MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AMERICAL.DENTAL ASSOCIATION. ONCE A PERSON BECOMES A MEMBER, CERTAIN SERVICES ARE FREE OF CHARGE AND IN OTHER AREAS, CHARGES ARE REDUCED, HE STATED THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH HAS ADOPTED THIS PLAN, AND THE CREDIT UNION OFFERS IT TO THEIR MEMBERS. MR. NELSON ADVISED THAT THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT CAN HANDLE THIS THROUGH THEIR PAYROLL DEDUCTION PLAN. MR, NELSON NOTED THAT IF WE CHOOSE TO ADOPT THIS DENTAL PROGRAM, FRINGE FACTS, INC. WOULD SEND EACH EMPLOYEE A PROPOSAL AND THE EMPLOYEE WOULD DECIDE WHICH PLAN HE WOULD PREFER. JAN 241979 ZO BOOK 38 PAGE m r a COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THE COUNTY'S EXPENSE SIMPLY WOULD BE THE PROCESSING OF THE APPLICATIONS AND ARRANGING FOR THE PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. HE DID NOT FEEL THE COUNTY SHOULD APPEAR AS A SPONSOR OF THIS PROGRAM, BUT SIMPLY MAKE IT AVAILABLE. MR. NELSON STATED THAT THE PROGRAM CAN ONLY BE OFFERED IF THE COMMISSION ENDORSES IT.

HE RECOM- MENDED THAT IF THE BOARD FINDS THE BASIC FORMAT IN ORDER, THEY APPROVE IT SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CHANGES: PAGE 3, SECTION VI: ATTORNEY COLLI'NS STATED THAT HE IS USING STANDARDS SET BY THE CITY OF VERO BEACH BECAUSE THE COUNTY HAS NONE OF THEIR OWN AT THE PRESENT TIME. HE NOTED THE CITY HAS ADDITIONAL REQUIRE- MENTS ABOUT BACKFILLING. HE FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD NOT REQUIRE THIS, BUT RELY ON.THE ENGINEER'S CERTIFICATION BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE PROPER SUPERVISION AS YET, THE ATTORNEY FURTHER NOTED THAT THE MATERIALS TO BE USED WILL MEET STANDARDS SET BY THE CITY SO THAT WHEN THE SYSTEMS TIE TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE THEY WILL BE COMPATIBLE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE CITY'S STANDARDS - COULD BE REVISED, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THE PHRASE "OR AS'AMENDED" SHOULD BE ADDED AFTER "1977" ON THE THIRTEENTH LINE OF SECTION VI. ATTORNEY COLLINS DISCUSSED THE POSSIBLE NEED FOR AN EASEMENT TO GO ON THE PROPERTY TO HOOK UP WHERE ALL THE WATER LINES COME TOGETHER AT THE PLANT. ON PAGE 4, SECTION VII, ATTORNEY COLLINS NEXT DISCUSSED WHAT QUALITY STANDARDS TO REQUIRE. HE NOTED WE HAVE NOT MADE ANY OF OUR OWN AND WILL, THEREFORE, RELY ON THOSE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION. 21 8 PAcE461 N CHAIRMAN WODTKE SUGGESTED ON PAGE 4, SECTION VII, LINE 9, USING THE WORD 'SHALL" INSTEAD OF ItMAY, 11 AND ALSO ON LINE 12.

HE STATED THAT THIS ACCOUNT COULD NOT BE DRAWN ON EXCEPT BY AUTHORIZED PERSONS, AND THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF TIME FRAME SET, PAGE S, SECTION XIII (A) AND PAGE 9, PARAGRAPH (3) - ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE FELT THE DEVELOPER SHOULD RECEIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE INTEREST PAID ON THE ESCROWED $200 PAYMENTS. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS COMMENTED THAT STATE AUDITORS REQUIRE THAT THIS BE PUT IN AN INTEREST BEARING, PASSBOOK ACCOUNT. IT WAS AGREED TO ADD THE WORD "PASSBOOK" AFTER "INTEREST BEARING," IN THE FIRST SENTENCE OF SECTION XIII (A) ON PAGE S.

ATTORNEY COLLINS THEN DISCUSSED THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND NOTED THAT IF A PRICE CANNOT BE AGREED UPON, THE COUNTY HAS THE RIGHT TO CONDEMN. ATTORNEY BLOCK STATED THAT IT IS HARD TO SET A SPECIFIC PRICE, AND THEY ARE JUST SAYING THAT THEY WANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE COUNTY. DISCUSSION CONTINUED ON THE POSSIBILITY OF THE COUNTY NEEDING THE LOTS RATHER THAN THE PLANT, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS SUGGESTED IT STATE THAT THE COUNTY HAS THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO PURCHASE "PART OR ALL." ATTORNEY BLOCK OBJECTED BECAUSE HE FELT THIS WORDING WOULD ESTABLISH THEIR INTENT TO SELL PART OF A LOT, AND THEY WOULD NOT WANT TO DO THAT. ATTORNEY COLLINS AGREED TO INSERT INSTEAD A PHRASE STATING THAT THE COUNTY.WILL BUY NO LESS THAN A WHOLE LOT, COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THE BOARD IS TRYING TO DESIGN A FRANCHISE THAT COULD BE USED COUNTY -WIDE, AND HE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT SOMEBODY NOT MAINTAINING THE SYSTEM OR INTENTIONALLY ABANDONING A FRANCHISE. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THAT IS TO PUT UP A BOND OR CASH, BUT IN THIS CASE, HE WOULD NOT -RECOMMEND IT. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD ADD THIS IN FUTURE ONES WHERE THERE SEEMS TO BE A NEED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE WANTED TO BE CERTAIN THAT A SET OF "AS -BUILT" PLANS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY. ATTORNEY BLOCK AGREED THAT THIS SHOULD BE ADDED. JAN 2 41979 23 Boa 38 ew 463 CHAIRMAN WODTKE DISCUSSED A LETTER RECEIVED FROM MRS. GEORGE T.

COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT WE SHOULD GET A TENTATIVE DESIGN NOT INCLUDING THE SCHOOL BOARD TO CONSIDER AS AN ALTERNATIVE. HE STATED THE COUNTY'S NEEDS SHOULD BE DEALT WITH FIRST AND THEN SEE WHAT IS LEFT, THE CHAIRMAN STATED THE CONSULTANTS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DO THIS. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT COMMISSIONER.LOY'S SUGGESTION ABOUT TAKING. ONE WING OF THE HOSPITAL AND TELLING THE SCHOOL BOARD WHAT IT 26 JAN 24 1979 WOULD COST .TO RENOVATE IT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

The program is designed to protect a Public Official who is elected or appointed to a legally constituted Public Entity. The coverage is similar to Directors' and Officers' Coverage of large corporations and provides direct coverage to the Public Official or reimbursement to the Public Entity if it is permitted by law to indemnify an official. The policy responds to Legal Liability arising out of wrongful acts occurring while the Public Official is in office. The policy is written in the name of the County. Limit of Liability $1,000,000. Annual Premium 6,264. Deductibles: Per Person 2,500. Maximum per Loss 7,500. The above quotation includes removing the "Employee Hiring Exclusion" which seemed to be of importance to the Commission. I strongly recommend your consideration of this coverage and shall await your direction before proceeding further. The premium quoted is based on an application submitted in January of this year and issuance of a policy would require updated information. Sincerely, Hamilton G.

E I ATTORNEY COLLINS REPORTED ON THE LEASE OF COUNTY PROPERTY TO RUDY HUBBARD AND EXPLAINED THERE HAS BEEN A DELAY IN PRESENTATION OF THE LEASE BECAUSE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COUNTY DIDN'T OWN THE RIGHT-OF- WAY ON OLD DIXIE, BUT THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT DID. THE ATTORNEY CONTINUED THAT HE IS STILL NOT SATISFIED WITH THE LEASE. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED WHAT THE COMMISSION'S ATTITUDE.WOULD BE ABOUT THE 8.26 ACRES BEING USED FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN A TOWER - FOR INSTANCE, MINI -WAREHOUSES. HE FELT POSSIBLY THE BOARD SHOULD JUST ISSUE MR. HUBBARD A LICENSE TO PUT A TOWER ON THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE UNDER THIS LEASE, MR, HUBBARD CAN DO ANYTHING HE WANTS TO WITH THE PROPERTY FOR $1,000 A YEAR, COMMISSIONER LOY FELT THE INTENT OF THE LEASE WAS STRICTLY TO ALLOW THE PROPERTY TO BE USED FOR A TOWER. COMMISSIONER LYONS INTERJECTED THAT THERE IS USUALLY A LOT OF RENT SPACE ON A HIGH TOWER, AND HE WONDERED IF THE LEASE SHOULD BE PREDICATED ON INCOME. ATTORNEY COLLINS FURTHER POINTED OUT THAT MR. HUBBARD HAS THE RIGHT UNDER THIS LEASE TO SUBLEASE OR ASSIGN TO SOME THIRD PARTY THAT WE DON'T EVEN ANTICIPATE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE LEFT THE MEETING AT 2:08 O'CLOCK P.M. DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO THE DESIRABILITY OF A LICENSE RATHER THAN A LEASE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT THE AMOUNT SET OUT IN THE LEASE WAS AGREEABLE TO HIM AS LONG AS THE PROPERTY WAS ONLY TO BE USED ' FOR A TOWER. HE THOUGHT THE SUGGESTION OF ISSUING A PERMIT WAS VERY GOOD. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED WHAT WOULD THE COMMISSION'S ATTITUDE BE IF MR. HUBBARD WAS RENTING SPACE ON THE TOWER FOR $2,000 A MONTH., COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT AS LONG AS WE HAVE -USE OF THE PROPERTY WHICH WE WOULD HAVE WITH A PERMIT, HE DIDN'T THINK WE SHOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROFIT'HE MAKES OFF THE TOWER, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE USE OF THE PROPERTY, THEN IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT THAT IF SOMEBODY IS- GOING TO MAKE A PROFIT OUT OF USING COUNTY LAND, THE COUNTY SHOULD SHARE IN THE PROFIT. ATTORNEY COLLINS OFFERED TO WRITE ATTORNEY•JOHN SUTHERLAND THAT THE BOARD. IS RESPONSIVE TO A LICENSE AGREEMENT, AND THE VICE CHAIRMAN 33 JAN 2 4 1979 m oo fw47 AUTHORIZED THE ATTORNEY TO PROCEED ALONG THOSE LINES AND INDICATE THAT THE COUNTY FEELS THEY SHOULD SHARE IN ANY INCOME THAT MIGHT BE DERIVED FROM THE FACILITY.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA Chairman ATTEST: FREDA WRIGHT, Clerk Circuit Court Ex -Officio Clerk, Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida By J1 Clerk APPROV AS TO FORM AND EXECUTION: 10'004�z�% Ge rge Co ns,County Attorney Date January 24, 1979 JAN 2 4 1979 1 - Rfilor 38 PitE 477 IN THE TEMPORARY ABSENCE OF CHAIRMAN WODTKE, COMMISSIONER Loy OPENED THE DISCUSSION OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY ONE THAT WISHED TO BE HEARD. CARROLL PALMER, PRESIDENT OF THE.TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND STATED THAT HIS ASSOCIATION. HAS TAKEN A POSITION ON THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. THEY FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD CONTINUE WITH ITS ACTIVITIES WITH A PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY, BUT IT SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE A PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY. HE FELT,I N THE EVENT THE BOARD DECIDES TO HAVE A HOUSING AUTHORITY, THEY SHOULD FIRST OBTAIN LEGISLATIVE LIMITATIONS, AS IN PINELLAS, ORANGE AND SEMINOLE COUNTIES HE THEN READ FROM SECTION 421.53 AND 421.54 FLORIDA STATUTES IN REGARD TO THESE LIMITATIONS. MR. PALMER NOTED THAT AFTER THE TAXPAYERS ASSO- CIATION_TOOK THIS POSITION, SOME OF THEIR CRITICS ALLEGED THAT THE ASSOCIATION D•ID NOT HAVE COMPASSION FOR THE POOR AND NEEDY. HE REBUTTED THIS BY QUOTING PRESIDENT CARTER'S STATEMENT THAT "COMPASSION MUST BE TEMPERED WITH REALITY." MR. PALMER STATED THAT HE DOUBTED THE BOARD WOULD ESTABLISH A HOUSING AUTHORITY IF IT WERE TO BE FUNDED SOLELY BY AD VALOREM TAXES AND NOTED THAT THE ATTRACTION OF•A HOUSING AUTHORITY IS THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL BE FOOTING THE BILL AND SUPPOSEDLY THE COUNTY WILL BE RELATIVELY FREE OF THE COST OF THIS WELFARE PROPOSAL. HE STATED THAT THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT SO, AND IF A HOUSING AUTHORITY IS ACTIVATED, IT WILL DIRECTLY AFFECT THE TAXPAYERS OF THE COUNTY. CHAIRMAN WODTKE RETURNED TO THE MEETING AT 2;50 O'CLOCK P.M. MR. PALMER COMMENTED THAT IT APPEARS FRANK ZORC HAS A PROPOSAL TO OBTAIN PUBLIC HOUSING BY A PRIVATELY FINANCED ARRANGEMENT, AND HE STATED THAT THIS GIVES THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SOME KIND OF AN OVERWHELMING COMPASSION THE CHANCE TO "PUT THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS." HE CONTINUED THAT WE ARE IN A VERY CRITICAL FISCAL PERIOD IN THIS COUNTRY, AND IT IS THE INCREASE IN FEDERAL SPENDING WHICH IS CREATING INFLATION. i .'� WE ARE SPENDING MORE THAN WE GENERATE, AND EACH ONE OF THESE SOCIAL j WELFARE PROGRAMS ADD TO THIS SPIRAL. MR. PALMER THEN DISCUSSED "FEDERAL DUMPING," AND NOTED THAT WHEN HONEY GETS TIGHT, THE GOVERNMENT PULLS UP THE PURSE STRINGS ON ON-GOING PROGRAMS, AND THEN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS i M MUST PICK UP THE TAB IF THESE PROGRAMS ARE TO CONTINUE. HE ALSO POINTED 38 JAN 241979 OUT THAT THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM IS SELF-DEFEATING AND DESTROYS INITIATIVE, BECAUSE IF A TENANT TRIES TO IMPROVE HIMSELF BEYOND A CERTAIN POINT, HE MUST MOVE OUT OF THE PUBLIC HOUSING, MR. PALMER FURTHER NOTED THAT UNLESS THERE IS STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONS, A ROUSING AUTHORITY WILL ONLY RESULT IN GENERATING MORE SUBSTANDARD HOUSING, MR. PALMER THEN PRESENTED.AN ALTERNATIVE WHICH HE STATED HAS BEEN USED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS. WHERE THE SUBSTANDARD HOUSING IS ON LAND THAT IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL, YOU REZONE IT TO INDUSTRIAL,.AND YOU FIND THAT THE SUBSTANDARD HOUSING DISAPPEARS. MR. PALMER CONTINUED TO DISCUSS THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND THE DESIRABILITY OF LIMITING SOCIAL WELFARE AND STATED THAT THE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION REQUESTS THAT THE ADDED COST FOR A PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY NOT BE IMPOSED UPON THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS COUNTY.. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED MR. PALMER TO SUMMARIZE THE TAXPAYERS' REMEDIES FOR CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM. MR, PALMER ANSWERED THAT THEIR POSITION IS THAT PRIVATE ENTER- PRISE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS, AND IT SHOULD NOT BE A SOCIAL WELFARE PROGRAM. RE ALSO REPEATED THE PROPOSAL IN REGARD•TO REZONING. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED WHERE WILL THE PEOPLE GO IF THE AREA IS REZONED TO INDUSTRIAL. MR. PALMER ANSWERED THAT THE PEOPLE COULD MOVE INTO•SOME OTHER UNITS OR TO SOME OTHER COUNTY. RE NOTED THAT THE COUNTY, BY ACTING AS A PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY, HAS OBTAINED SUBSTANTIAL GRANTS, AND THIS CAN ' BE OPERATED UNDER THE COUNTY'S CONTROL WHILE A HOUSING AUTHORITY CANNOT. CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED HIM THAT THIS PROGRAM IS MERELY A RENT SUBSIDY PROGRAM, AND IT DOES NOT PROVIDE HOUSING. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT AGREED AND POINTED OUT THAT THE -SECTION S ROUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM REQUIRES THAT THE PEOPLE BE LOCATED IN SAFE AND SANITARY HOUSING, AND THIS DOES NOT EXIST, WHICH IS THE OVERALL PROBLEM. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT DID NOT BELIEVE WE COULD STRIKE A BLOW FOR THE NATION S ECONOMY SIMPLY BY NOT CREATING A ROUSING AUTHORITY, AS STATED BY MR. PALMER, BECAUSE HE FELT THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE NATION'S FISCAL PROBLEMS IS TO CUT THE BUDGET AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, IT IS JUST A MATTER OF WHO GETS THE MONEY. RE NOTED THAT ALONG 39 JAN 2 41979 mot 38 PnE 4 • J WITH CRITICISM GOES THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUGGESTING ALTERNATIVES, AND HE FELT THOSE PRESENTED BY MR. PALMER, AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TAX- PAYERS ASSOCIATION, WERE A BIT SELFISH AND INDICATED A "TO HELL WITH THEM", ATTITUDE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE DID AGREE, IF A HOUSING AUTHORITY SHOULD BE ACTIVIATED, WE MUST HAVE STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF THE HOUSING CODE. HE ALSO.AGREED THAT THERE IS A LEVEL OF AUTHQRITY IN ORANGE AND SEMINOLE COUNTIES, THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BOARD PURSUE. COMMISSIONER LOY AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR REGAN. EXPLAINED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SECTION S PROGRAM AND THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, AND MR. PALMER NOTED THAT THESE ARE BOTH FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND ARE RUN UNDER STRICT FEDERAL CONTROLS AND UNREALISTIC GUIDELINES WRITTEN BY BUREAUCRATS. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF ANY OF THE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION HAVE VISITED THE PROBLEM AREAS AND SEEN THE HOMES, AND MR. PALMER REPLIED 11 THAT HE BELIEVED SOME OF THEM HAVE BUT NOT ALL. RALPH LUNDY OF THE CITIZENS IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE OF GIFFORD APPROACHED THE BOARD AND COMMENTED THAT AFTER MONTHS OF STUDY, THE HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE MADE THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD IN NOVEMBER TO HAVE A HOUSING AUTHORITY. NOW IT APPEARS THAT WE ARE BACK WHERE WE STARTED AND BEING TOLD TO LET PRIVATE INDUSTRY TAKE CARE OF IT. HE ASKED WHY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS IN THE LAST TWELVE YEARS OR MORE AND DOUBTED THAT THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO SOLVE THE HOUSING PROBLEM FOR THE POOR, NEEDY AND HANDICAPPED WITHOUT MAKING A PROFIT. HE THEN SPOKE ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF THE HOUSING BECOMING AN ADDITIONAL SLUM AREA, AND FELT IF YOU HAVE A PROPERLY MANAGED HOUSING AUTHORITY WITH CONCERNED MEMBERS AND A DEPENDABLE STAFF, THIS'WOULD BE AVOIDED. ALSO EDUCATION COULD BE PROVIDED ON PROPERTY MAINTENANCE. MR, LUNDY NOTED THAT HE IS NOT TALKING OF BUILDING 100 HOMES, BUT JUST MAKING -A START. HE CONTINUED THAT A HOUSING AUTHORITY SHOULD GIVE PRIORITY TO RESIDENTS WITHIN THIS COUNTY AND COOPERATE WITH COUNTY OFFICIALS IN DETERMINING WHAT FAMILY REALLY DOES LIVE IN A SUBSTANDARD HOUSE. MR. LUNDY DID NOT BELIEVE A SOPHISTICATED GROUP SUCH AS THE JAN 2 41979 • 40 TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION HAS MADE AN HONEST, ON -THE -SPOT STUDY OF THE HOUSING CONDITIONS IN THE POOR AREAS OF THE COUNTY AND, THEREFORE, FELT SUCH A GROUP WAS NOT IN A POSITION TO MAKE A NEGATIVE DECISION FOR A HOUSING AUTHORITY. MR. LUNDY NOTED THAT THERE ARE A HUNDRED HOUSING AUTHORITIES NOW IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, AND HE FELT IF SOMETHING WERE WRONG, THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABANDONED LONG*AGO. MR. LUNDY NOTED THAT MANY ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BENEFITED AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER BY FEDERAL FUNDS;, - THE U. S. IS SPENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO PUT MEN IN SPACE, AND HE FELT IF THEY CAN PUT A MAN ON THE MOON, THEY CAN PUT A NEEDY FAMILY IN A HOME. HE POINTED OUT THAT A HOUSI.NG AUTHORITY WOULD PROVIDE JOBS FOR SOME PEOPLE AND EVEN SAVE LIVES, AND QUOTED FROM THE BIBLE, "DO UNTO OTHERS..." MR. LUNDY POINTED OUT THAT A HOUSING AUTHORITY CAN OBTAIN FUNDS FOR HOUSING THAT CANNOT BE OBTAINED ANY OTHER WAY, AND WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY IS LOSING MONEY BECAUSE OF NOT HAVING A HOUSING AUTHORITY. HE CONCLUDED BY SAYING THAT HE HAS FAILED TO HEAR A LEGITIMATE REASON WHY WE SHOULD NOT HAVE A HOUSING AUTHORITY AND NO OTHER FEASIBLE SOLUTIONS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT THE HOUSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE INVESTIGATED 42 DIFFERENT PROGRAMS FOR HOUSING BEFORE RECOMMENDING ESTABLISHMENT OF A HOUSING AUTHORITY. HE POINTED OUT THAT THIS WAS RECOMMENDED EVEN THOUGH INITIALLY THERE WERE FOUR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE WHO FELT VERY STRONGLY THAT IF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE COULD ' DO IT, THEY DID NOT WANT A HOUSING AUTHORITY. ONE MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE IS A LOCAL REALTOR AND ALSO IN CONSTRUCTION, AND HE WAS AT A LOSS TO SAY HOW PRIVATE ENTERPRISE COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT CONTINUED ON THAT A HOUSING AUTHORITY DOES HAVE SOME DEFINITE'PITFALLS BUT THERE HAS TO BE A CONDUIT BETWEEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE CONTRACTOR AND THAT CONDUIT, AS ESTABLISHED BY FEDERAL GUIDELINES, IS � THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AS THERE ARE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO JT THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE OTHER WAYS. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED WHAT THEY PROPOSED AS A BEGINNING - 2 UNITS - 200? 41 JAN 24 1979 BOOK 38 PAG€ 481 i MR. LUNDY STATED THEY ARE NOT LOOKING AT IT ON A WHOLESALE BASIS AND THAT A DEDICATED, CONCERNED COMMITTEE WOULD DETERMINE HOW MANY UNITS WERE NEEDED FOR THE AREA. HE NOTED THAT THERE ARE 469 UNITS CLASSIFIED AS DETERIORATING AND 108 UNITS AS DILAPIDATED IN,GIFFORD NOW. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT DIRECTOR REGAN COMMENTED' THAT HE SEES GREATER NEEDS THAN MR. LUNDY WAS CITING BECAUSE WE NEEP TO CONSIDER THE WHOLE COUNTY, AND THERE ARE 1,521 FAMILIES THAT NEED ASSISTANCE. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE POSSIBILITY OF ABOLISHING A HOUSING AUTHORITY ONCE IT IS CREATED, AND IT WAS FELT IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE, BUT DIFFICULT. HEPBURN WALKER, ST. CHRISTOPHER BEACH, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND NOTED THAT HE HAS LIVED HERE FOR 11 YEARS. HE STATED THAT HE MAJORED IN SOCIOLOGY AND CITY PLANNING AND IS STRONGLY CONVINCED THAT PRIVATE INDUSTRY WILL NEVER SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT A HOUSING AUTHORITY IS THE ONLY WAY TO PROCEED, ATTORNEY J. BLAYNE JENNINGS, 2871 45TH STREET, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND STATED THAT HE WOULD ECHO WHAT MR. LUNDY HAS ALREADY SAID. HE WANTED TO RESPOND TO SOME OF MR. PALMER'S COMMENTS AND FELT THE MOST DISTURBING SUGGESTION WAS THE REZONING TO INDUSTRIAL WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE RESIDENTS TO MOVE, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN MOVING ADDITIONAL PEOPLE INTO ALREADY OVERCROWDED SHACKS OR OUT OF THE COUNTY ALTOGETHER, WHICH IS NO SOLUTION. HE NOTED WE HAVE SEEN WHAT PRIVATE INVESTORS DO, AND THAT IS NOTHING. ATTORNEY JENNINGS FELT THE MAIN THING IS JUST TO MAKE A START AND BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD. HE FELT IT IS APPARENT THE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION IS NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN THE PEOPLE'S PLIGHT, BUT WE. SHALL ALWAYS HAVE POOR PEOPLE AND THERE IS A NEED AND WE SHOULD, THEREFORE, GO WITH THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. REVEREND DON BROWN, MEMBER OF THE PROGRESSIVE CIVIC LEAGUE AND •� THE AFRO COUNCIL OF CHURCHES, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND SAID THEY WERE NOT HERE TODAY FOR A HANDOUT. HE POINTED OUT THAT CHRIST LOVED HUMANITY AND SAID "IF YOU LOVE ME, DO SOMETHING FOR ME." REV. BROWN STATED THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOUSING FOR ALL POOR CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY; NOT ONLY FOR THE BLACK AND NOTED THAT HOUSING, AUTHORITIES ARE WORKING IN OTHER PLACES SO WHY NOT IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY? HE STATED HE WOULD 42 JAN 2 41979 4A82 I } •y t PRAY THAT THE TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION WOULD BECOME MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HELPING IMPROVE THE CONDITION IN THE COUNTY. DRENNEN WHITMIRE, 955 7TH AVENUE, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND STATED THAT.THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOW COST HOUSING. HE AGREED WE SHOULD HAVE COMPASSION BUT FELT THAT IS DENOTED BY GIVING FOOD STAMP'S, UNEMPLOYMENT, WELFARE AND MEDICAL HELP. MR.- WHITMIRE STATED FURTHER THAT ONCE YOU CREATE A HOUSING AUTHORITY, YOU LOSE ALL CONTROL AND IT CANNOT BE STOPPED. IT ATTRACTS MORE POOR FAMILIES TO THE AREA AND CREATES MORE SLUMS AND CRIME AREAS. HE COMMENTED THAT THOSE THAT CLAMOR FOR A HOUSING AUTHORITY DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT THIS PROGRAM DESTROYS ALL INCENTIVE AND ENSLAVES THE PEOPLE; THERE ARE SOME THIRD GENERATION PEOPLE LIVING IN HOUSING AUTHORITIES. MR. WHITMIRE FELT A HOUSING AUTHORITY IS NOTHING BUT A BLUEPRINT FOR DISASTER AND POINTED OUT THAT THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS US THAT "THE POOR YOU WILL HAVE WITH YOU ALWAYS" AND "THOSE WHO DO NOT WORK, SHOULD NOT EAT." MRS. WALTER .JACKSON APPROACHED THE BOARD COMMENTING THAT SHE COULD NOT SEE WHY WE SHOULD FEEL THAT WE ARE NOT OUR BROTHER `S KEEPER, AND THOSE OF US*WHO CAN PAY TAXES SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR OTHERS, SHE FELT MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST WAITING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A LITTLE HELP SO THEY CAN HELP THEMSELVES. SHE SUGGESTED THE BOARD LOOK AT THE HOUSING PROJECT IN MELBOURNE WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL AND WELL KEPT. SHE FELT THERE MUST BE A TRAINING CENTER TO INSTRUCT THE PEOPLE BEFORE THEY MOVE IN. MRS. .JACKSON FELT THERE IS LESS CRIME IN THE HOUSING PROJECTS THAN IN THE SLUM AREAS. SHE CONCLUDED THAT SHE.IS LOOKING TO THE BOARD TO BE POSITIVE IN THEIR DECISION. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR REGAN COMMENTED THAT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY HAS AN UNUSUAL SITUATION IN THAT WE HAVE EXTREMES -BOTH IN AFFLUENCE AND LACK OF IT, AND OUR UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS ALSO UNUSUALLY HIGH. HE POINTED OUT THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HOLDS INDUSTRY BACK FROM COMING TO THE COUNTY IS BECAUSE THE PRIVATE SECTOR HAS NOT PROVIDED HOUSING THAT CAN BE PURCHASED BY MIDDLE INCOME FAMILIES. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT THE LESS AFFLUENT TEND TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR ELDERLY AT HOME INSTEAD OF PUTTING THEM IN NURSING HOMES THAT THE TAXPAYERS WOULD HAVE TO -PAY FOR. HE FELT, AS A RESULT, LOW INCOME FAMILIES ARE TAKING SOME JAN 2 41979 43 OF THIS BURDEN FROM THE TAXPAYERS. MR. REGAN THEN DESCRIBED THE SERIOUS CONDITIONS EXISTING IN SOME OF THE HOMES WHERE THERE IS NO INSIDE PLUMBING AND CITED THE CASE OF ONE WOMAN WHO ANSWERS THE DOOR ON HER HANDS AND KNEES BECAUSE SHE CANNOT AFFORD A WHEELCHAIR. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD BE PLEASED TO TAKE MR. PALMER TO SEE SOME OF THESE CONDITIONS BECAUSE HE BELIEVES HE IS A CARING INDIVIDUAL AND WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH YS TO SOLVE SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH DISCUSSION. HE NOTED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN STUDIED TO DEATH OVER A PERIOD OF % TO 10 YEARS OR MORE AND THAT WE MUST RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A NEED AND THAT NEED MUST BE MET. HE HAD HOPED THIS NEED COULD BE MET BY PRIVATE INDUSTRY, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN, AND IGNORING THE PROBLEM IS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT GO AWAY. HE ASKED HOW THE BOARD WISHED TO PROCEED. DISCUSSION AROSE REGARDING HAVING A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER SPECIAL LEGISLATION, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE AND NOT PROCRASTINATE. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT THE FIRST STEP IS TO CHECK WITH THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION TO SEE WHAT THEIR REQUIREMENTS ARE IF THEY ARE CALLED UPON TO INTRODUCE SPECIAL LEGISLATION, SUCH AS THE SPECIAL ACTS FOR ORANGE AND SEMINOLE COUNTIES. COMMISSIONER SOY CONTINUED THAT THERE SHOULD BE A PUBLIC HEARING TO AUTHORIZE THE ACTUAL CREATION OF A HOUSING AUTHORITY, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT SAID HE FELT AS IF WE HAVE JUST HAD ONE. ' CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT WANT TO AUTHORIZE A HOUSING AUTHORITY WITHOUT HOLDING AN ADVERTISED PUBLIC HEARING PRIOR TO VOTING ON IT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT DID NOT FEEL WE CAN FIT THIS INTO OUR REGULAR AGENDA, AND HE FELT IT IS OF SUCH IMPORTANCE THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE A SPECIAL MEETING AT A TIME CONVENIENT TO THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, THAT THE ATTORNEY BE AUTHORIZED TO ADVERTISE A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE CREATION OF A HOUSING AUTHORITY AND ALSO A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE PURPOSE OF SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR LEGISLATIVE DELE- GATION PRIOR TO THE ENACTMENT OF A SPECIAL ACT SETTING, LIMITATIONS ON A HOUSING AUTHORITY. 44 JAN 2 41979 B _38 PA-UE484 DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, AND IT WAS HOPED THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE DELEGATION.COULD ATTEND THE HEARING AND PROVIDE THE BOARD SOME GUIDE- LINES AS TO WHAT THEY COULD SUPPORT IN THE WAY OF A SPECIAL ACT. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. MR. WHITMIRE SUGGESTED THAT THE BOARD PUT THIS ON A REFERENDUM AT THE NEXT ELECTION AND LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE. MR. LUNDY STATED THAT THE BOARD HAS THE AUTHORITY TO APPOINT A HOUSING AUTHORITY AND ASKED WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF A PUBLIC HEARING. HE FELT IT WOULD BE JUST A REPEAT PERFORMANCE WITH BOTH SIDES COMING BACK WITH THE SAME MATERIAL. CHAIRMAN WODTKE EXPLAINED THAT IT IS AN EXERCISE WHICH THE BOARD MUST GO -THROUGH. MR.. PALMER COMMENTED THAT THE HEARING WOULD BE TO EXPLORE PUTTING LIMITATIONS ON THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND NOT REHASHING WHAT WE HAVE HEARD TODAY. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT WAS ONLY PARTLY TRUE BECAUSE A DECISION HAS NOT BEEN MADE TODAY ON ESTABLISHING A HOUSING AUTHORITY. PLANNING DIRECTOR REDICK CAME BEFORE THE BOARD TO REQUEST TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF LAURELWOOD SUBDIVISION, UNITS 3 AND 4. HE ADVISED THAT THIS HAS BEEN THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION REVIEW COMMITTEE AND THE LOW AREA IS TO BE COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT BEFORE FILLING. MR. REDICK COMMENTED THE ROADS WERE COUNTY ROADS, EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER AND THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS AFFIRMED THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN APPROVED. COMMISSIONER Loy QUESTIONED THE STREET LIGHTING FOR THE AREA. ROBERT SHUTTS AGREED HE WOULD NOTIFY THE BOARD WHEN THE LIGHTING HAS BEEN -COMPLETED. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY GRANTED TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF LAURELWOOD SUBDIVISION, UNITS 3 AND 4, OWNED BY LAUREL BUILDERS, INC., SUBJECT TO THE DEVELOPER ADVISING THE BOARD WHEN THE STREET LIGHTING IS COMPLETED. •45 JAN 2 4 197938 cE5 L PLANNING DIRECTOR REDICK NEXT REQUESTED TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF WHISTLEWOOD SUBDIVISION, OWNED BY SUNQUEST, INC., WHICH IS LOCATED NORTH OF RT. 60 AT 61ST COURT. HE MENTIONED THE STREETS ARE PRIVATE; AND REPORTED THAT IT HAS BEEN THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION REVIEW COMMITTEE; THEY FOUND EVERYTHING TO BE IN ORDER AND RECOMMEND ITS APPROVAL. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER-SIEBERT; SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY GRANTED TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF WHISTLEWOOD SUBDIVISION, OWNED BY SUNQUEST, INC. PLANNING DIRECTOR REDICK DISCUSSED TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF SAN SEBASTIAN SPRINGS SUBDIVISION, OWNED BY.DR. HENRY FISCHER, WHICH IS LOCATED WEST OF SEBASTIAN ALONG THE RIVER. HE NOTED IT IS PLATTED IN ONE ACRE LOTS AND HAS BEEN THROUGH THE SUBDIVISION REVIEW COMMITTEE TWICE BECAUSE OF THE REVISIONS REQUESTED, THEY NOW RECOMMEND ITS APPROVAL. MR. REDICK NOTED THAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SOIL CONSER- VATION SERVICE IS PART OF THE ZONING COMMISSION RECORD, AND HE FELT IT SHOULD BE MADE PART OF THE BOARD'S RECORD ALSO. SAID RECOMMENDATION IS HEREBY MADE A PART OF THE MINUTES. 46 JAN 2 41979 Alf r � A UNITED -STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE s SUWECT: ..•ICt�I�.J �"�'��tL1.L�Gt.�t/.Jo /y �/lvYC'n DATE: % c--&-'9Azetol /t;� 97,f TO: `hvL, h„�ceic..E:_ ✓�•�ce.-ctaa.�.�.�.� ..r,� .rLey-<-�x-�1 sE yV Swyel SIE,- /1/ 7-31 S r 3YF-.

COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF THEY ARE INCLUDED IN THE SUB- DIVISION, WILL THAT ALLOW THEM TO BE BUILT ON, AND MR. REDICK POINTED OUT. THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO BUILD. AND THERE IS NO ROAD TO THEM. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT IF YOU CAN GET TO THEM, YOU CAN BUILD ON THEM, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF THE BOARD IS -SAYING THAT THEY ARE SUITABLE BUILDING SITES. , MR. REDICK POINTED OUT THAT THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED AS LOTS AND ANYTHING ON THIS PLAT WILL HAVE TO MEET THE FLOOD PLAIN GUIDELINES BECAUSE THIS IS IN A FLOOR PLAIN AREA. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AREAS IN THE COUNTY AND -STATED HE WOULD HATE TO ENCOURAGE FILLING OF ANY OF THAT WETLAND ALONG THE RIVER. HE BELIEVED THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREA. DISCUSSION EN -SUED ON FILLING IN A FLOOD PLAIN AREA, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT SUGGESTED THE POSSIBILITY OF PLATTING THE WETLAND AREAS AS PASSIVE RECREATIONAL. HE ASKED IF THE DEVELOPER WOULD HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS. HARLAND PETERSON OF TOTAL DEVELOPMENT NOTED THAT PR. FISCHER OWNS ON THE WEST SIDE SO THAT MAYBE SOME DAY TRACTS B AND C WOULD BE TAKEN IN. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS A 7' FLOOD PLAIN IN THIS AREA. I MR. PETERSON STATED THAT THERE IS A FLOOD PLAIN EASEMENT 200' WIDE, BUT COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT THIS DOESNIT FOLLOW THE RIVER AND HE WOULD LIKE TO PREVENT FILL TOO CLOSE TO THE RIVER. ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS COMMENTED THAT THE FORK OF THE SEBASTIAN RIVER HAS BEEN VERY CONTROVERSIAL ENVIRONMENTALLY FOR A VERY LONG TIME ' ;t AND, IN HIS OPINION, THE ZONING DEPARTMENT SHOULD NOT ISSUE ANY PERMITS ON TRACTS B OR C UNTIL THIS MATTER HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT WITH THE DER. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD HAVE SOME AUTHORITY OVER FILLING BELOW THE FLOOD LINE. 51 JAN 2 41979 PLANNER REDICK STATED THAT THEY HAVE THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED IN THE MASTER PLAN. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY GRANTED TENTATIVE APPROVAL TO SAN SEBASTIAN SPRINGS SUBDIVISION, SUBJECT TO THE PLAT SHOWING THAT THERE WILL'BE'NO FILL PLACED BELOW THE 5' FLOOD ELEVATION LEVEL AND SUBJECT TO FOLLOWING THE SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE S RECOMMENDATIONS AS TO SEDIMENTATION. COMMISSIONER LYONS DISCUSSED THE 201 STUDY. HE NOTED THAT THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES NEEDS HELP ON SEWAGE, AND HE FELT THE CITY OF VERO.BEACH IS WILLING TO ACCEPT THEIR SEWAGE IF THEY CAN GET THE NECESSARY ALLOCATION FROM THE COUNTY. HE CONTINUED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO MOVE THIS SITUATION ALONG AND WOULD HOPE WE CAN GET TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN FIGURE ON GIVING INDIAN RIVER SHORES THE ALLOCATION SO THAT THEIR PROBLEM*CAN BE SOLVED. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE REALIZES THAT PART OF THIS WILL DEPEND ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE 201 PLAN, BUT NOTED THAT IT SEEMS QUITE LIKELY THAT WE WILL END UP WITH AT LEAST TWO SEWER TREATMENT PLANTS IN THE COUNTY. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF DISAGREEMENT ABOUT HOW MUCH ALLOCATION THE COUNTY ACTUALLY HAS, AND THIS MUST BE CLEARED UP. HE ALSO FELT WE MUST DETERMINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THIS ALLOCATION IF WE SHOULD CHOOSE TO SERVICE INDIAN RIVER SHORES FROM A DIFFERENT SEWER PLANT AT A LATER DATE. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT WE SHOULD GET THE PARTIES TOGETHER AND TRY TO REACH SOME COMPROMISE AGREEMENT. IT WAS HIS OPINION THAT THE ALLOCATION BELONGS TO THE COUNTY AND THAT THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM IF THE COUNTY SHOULD CHOOSE TO USE IT TO SERVE INDIAN RIVER SHORES TEMPO- RARILY AND THEN LATER, WHEN THEY GET INTO THE SEWER BUSINESS, -TRANSFER IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, CHAIRMAN WODTKE ALSO FELT THAT IT SEEMS PROBABLE THE REPORT SUBMITTED ON THE 201 STUDY BY THE TAC COMMITTEE WILL BE ACCEPTED, BUT FELT THERE ARE AREAS THAT WILL HAVE TO BE SPELLED OUT IN WRITING. HE NOTED THAT WE NEED TO CHECK WITH THE CITY BECAUSE A STATEMENT HAS BEEN MADE IN CONNECTION WITH A MEMO FROM CITY MANAGER LITTLE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN "IRREVOCABLE ALLOCATIONS MADE BY THE COUNTY," WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO AGREE WITH THEIR ENGINEER S STATEMENT THAT IF'WE TAKE THE 52 BoK JAN 2 41979 PAGE 49 HOSPITAL SERVICE OVER, THE ALLOCATION WILL COME BACK. THE CHAIRMAN POINTED OUT THAT WE ALSO NEED TO DETERMINE WHETHER ANY AREAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED BY THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, SUCH AS THE BAPTIST RETIREMENT CENTER, ARE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE 1.39 MILLION SEWAGE ALLOCATION FIGURE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT IN THE MEMO FROM CITY ENGINEER LLOYD, HE TAKES ALL THOSE AND'APPLIES THEM AGAINST THE COUNTY'S ALLOCATION. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE FELT WE MUST KEEP PLUGGING UNTIL WE GET THIS SETTLED. HE WISHED TO KNOW IF THE BOARD WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE THE ALLOCATION TO THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IF THE TOWN SHOULD GO OFF THE CITY SERVICE,'THE ALLOCATION CAN BE USED SOME PLACE ELSE. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS QUESTION RESOLVED AND GET THE NUMBERS STRAIGHT. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT WE DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO GET THE 201 STUDY BACK, BUT IF PLAN I IS APPROVED, THEN WE KNOW WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SERVICE THAT AREA. HE CONTINUED THAT IF PLAN I IS APPROVED, HE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF FUNDS ARE GOING TO BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT -HE DOES NOT FEEL WE ARE HOLDING UP THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES BECAUSE THEY CAN'T PROCEED UNTIL WE HAVE AN APPROVED 201 FACILITY PLAN UNLESS THEY WANT TO FOOT THE WHOLE BILL THEMSELVES. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THEY MIGHT POSSIBLY WANT TO DO THAT AND POINTED OUT THAT NO MATTER HOW THE LINE IS FINANCED, THE CITY OF i VERO BEACH WOULDN'T CONNECT IT UNLESS THE COMMITMENT ON THE COUNTY ALLOCATION WERE AVAILABLE SO HE FELT THE FIRST STEP IS TO GET THE ALLOCA- TION QUESTION SETTLED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE HAS NO PROBLEM IN SAYING THAT IF PLAN I IS THE ONE -WE HAVE TO LIVE WITH, WE WOULD GIVE THE ALLOCATION, PROVIDING IT IS TRANSFERABLE. ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS TALKED TO CITY ATTORNEY TOM PALMER, AND HE DOESN'T HAVE THE RETIREMENT CENTER INFORMA- TION COMPLETE YET IN REGARD TO THE SQUARING -OFF. THE ATTORNEY NOTED THAT THIS IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE SQUARING OFF, AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHICH WAY IT GOES AS FAR AS THE ALLOCATION IS INVOLVED. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT THE CENTER WAS BEING SERVED PRIOR TO THE SEWER PLANT EXPANSION. 53 Boos 38 PAGE 493 JAN 24 1979 COMMISSIONER SOY AGREED THAT IT IS THE BOARD'S POINT THAT WHATEVER WAS SERVED PREVIOUSLY SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN OFF THE COUNTY'S ALLOCATION. SHE POINTED OUT THAT THE CITY'S FIGURES CONTINUALLY SEEM TO CHANGE AS TO WHAT THEY HAVE AVAILABLE.. SHE NOTED THAT IN THE BEGIN- NING THEY WERE GOING TO HANDLE INDIAN RIVER SHORES, AND THEIR WHOLE EXPANSION WAS PREDICATED ON THAT. EVEN AS LATE AS 1977, THEY WERE STILL MAKING PLANS TO HANDLE NORTH BEACH AND INDIAN RIVER SHORES, AS WELL AS MAKING PLANS TO HANDLE SOUTH BEACH, AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE FIND THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT SO WHAT FIGURES ARE LEFT TO WORK WITH'). COMMISSIONER LYONS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT WHEN HE WAS ON CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY HAD SOME VERY FRUSTRATING TIMES TRYING TO FIND OUT FROM THEIR OWN PEOPLE WHAT THE CAPACITY OF THE PLANT WAS, AND IT WAS FINALLY DONE BY MEASUREMENT OF CHEMICALS BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T METER IT TO FIND OUT. THAT IS ONE REASON WHY THE FIGURE CHANGED, HE FELT THE CITY IS CLOSE TO AN ACCURATE FIGURE NOW. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED IF THE SEWER PLANT IS PRESENTLY OPERATING AT MORE THAN 50% OF CAPACITY. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THAT IT IS, AND POINTED OUT THAT THERE IS STILL QUITE A BIT OF AREA WITHIN THE CITY THAT HAS NOT BEEN SEWERED, HE FELT THE CITY IS TRYING TO MAKE AN HONEST APPRAISAL. COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED WHETHER HE FELT INDIAN RIVER SHORES WOULD BE WILLING TO GO AHEAD AND FOOT THE BILL TO HOOK IN TO THE CITY IF THEY HAD THE ALLOCATION, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THAT IS A VERY 0 DEFINITE POSSIBILITY. DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO INDIAN RIVER SHORES AND THE UNINCORPORATED AREA BETWEEN THE TOWN AND THE CITY AND WHETHER THE 200,000 GPD ALLOCATION WOULD INCLUDE ALL THIS. COMMISSIONER LYONS SUGGESTED THAT THE BOARD COULD TELL INDIAN iRIVER SHORES.THAT, PROVIDING THE TAC 201 PLAN GOES THROUGH, THEY COULD COUNT ON THE ALLOCATION. CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT THAT COULD BE DONE DEPENDING ON US BEING SURE THE ALLOCATION CAN BE TRANSFERRED, AND COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO GIVE IT TO THEM ON THAT BASIS PROVIDED THERE IS A TIME LIMIT BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT WANT TO GIVE IT TO THEM FOR AN INDEFINITE TIME AND HAVE THEM JUST SIT ON IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET FUNDS. THE BOARD AGREED, 54 JAN 24 1979 ��x 38 PAGE 434 ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS REPORTED THAT COMMISSIONER DEESON HAD INFORMED HIM THAT THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN NEEDS ABOUT 100 CUBIC YARDS OF MARL THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO STOCKPILE. HE STATED THAT IF IT IS LESS THAN 100 CUBIC YARDS OF MARL, WE WILL JUST HAVE TO HAUL IT FROM OUR CLOSEST AVAILABLE SUPPLY. HE DID NOT KNOW WHERE.THEY WANT TO STOCKPILE IT. CHAIRMAN WODTKE FELT WE SHOULD WAIT UNTIL WE GET THE REQUEST IN WRITING. CHAIRMAN WODTKE NEXT INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND JACK MOTLEY FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS -OF THE E.O.C. HE NOTED THAT MR. MOTLEY HAS SERVED ON THIS BOARD IN THE PAST AND HAS AGREED TO SERVE ANOTHER TERM. 09 MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER L.OY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CHAIRMAN AND ADOPTED RESOLUTION N0. 79-15 APPOINTING E.J.

HE NOTED THAT THEY ALSO WANT THE BOARD TO CONSIDER EXTENDING THE BICYCLE PATH FROM 18TH STREET. TO ROCK - RIDGE BOULEVARD ALONG SIXTH AVENUE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE TOLD THEM THERE IS A QUESTION ABOUT RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND ALSO A QUESTION OF MONEY BECAUSE WE HAVE MANY REQUESTS FOR BICYCLE PARTHS. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS AGREED THAT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY QUESTION 'COULD BE A PROBLEM, AND IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS FELT THAT THIS WOULD BE A BICYCLE PATH THAT WOULD GET A GREAT DEAL OF USE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE THEN DISCUSSED THE LIGHT AT 17TH STREET AND 6TH AVENUE. HE FELT THERE IS A SEQUENCE MISSING FOR THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND THAT IT ISNOT TIMED PROPERLY. 57 Boa 38 PAGE 497 THE ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT HE WILL CHECK ON ALL THESE MATTERS, BUT NOTED THAT HE DID NOT FEEL THE 45 MPH LIMIT ON 18TH STREET WILL BE CHANGED BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE CRITERIA FOR THE BRIDGE.

J, OSTEEN, WHO MADE THE COMPLAINT, COMMISSIONER LOY REVIEWED A LETTER RECEIVED FROM THE FINANCE DIRECTOR OF THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, WHICH LETTER IS AS FOLLOWS: City of Vero Beach A 0. BOX 1389 - 1033 - 201b PLACE OFFICE OF THE VERO BEACH, FLORIDA - 32960 January 10, 1979 DIRECTOR OF FINANCE Td*hpn.367-5131 6� ^1�i; . �-: �ao9C•�0 � The Honorable William C. wodtke, Jr. p'h�o q O y Chairman, Board of County Commissioners Post Office Box 1028 Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Off! Dear Mr. Wodtke: Reference is made to the hand delivered copy of the General Fund Invoice of the City of Vero Beach in the sum of $5,081, dated December 26, 1978 with attachments. A review of our files indicates that in July, 1969, the Board of County Commissioners established a Fire Equipment Fund of $15,000 to purchase equipment as necessary for the Vero Beach Fire De- partment. Along with the many expenditures from this €und,during the month of September, 1972, architectural fees were paid for the design of a training tower. It was then anticipated that this training tower would be constructed near the new fire station that was to be built in the vicinity of the Vero Beach Municipal Airport Terminal Building. In support of this activity, on January 10, 1973, the Board of County Com-- •�� missioners authorized an expenditure of $4,000 as seed money to construct this training tower. In June, 1973, modifications to the original plans were made and soil boring tests were completed in the area then intended for the tower. Inasmuch as there were serious objections to the location of the tower, it was felt, in January, 1974, that it would be most pro- pitious to renovate an existing airport building, that was to be adjacent to the then selected fire station site, to be used as a County -wide train- ing facility. This facility was to include classrooms, burn pits and other ancillary aids. At this time, the County authorized the release of the fire tower money to the County -wide training facility because it was to service all fire departments, both paid and volunteer, throughout Indian River County. Consequently, a new roof, a septic tank, concrete work, paneling, lumber, paint and miscellaneous materials were purchased and in- stalled as a part of the modification of this building. Hundreds of hours of volunteer as well as paid time was used by members of the Vero Beach Fire Department to install these materials. 8 PAGE 498 JAN 2 41979 sou Subsequently, the intended new fire station site was moved from the terminal area to its existing location off 43rd Avenue. The partially completed train- ing facility was then relinquished so that a new complete training facility with a fire tower could be constructed adjacent to the airport fire station on 43rd Avenue. This decision was predicated on the ready availability of fire fighting equipment as well as the need for a six inch water main to be connected to fire hydrants for hands-on training of fire units throughout the County. Consequently, the $15,000 request to the County that was made on July 19, 1977, did not contemplate any previous monies given to the Vero Beach Fire Department for a fire training facility. Indeed, the fire tower was again a new entity to - be funded from current and/or future resources. You are aware of the problems that were existent in obtaining the services of a contractor who could complete; the construction within the financial restrictions imposed with the $15,000 budgetary limit. Therefore, predicated on the above, it is fe'spectfully requested that the Board of County Commissioners complete the agreed upon funding -of the $15,000 for the fire tower that is almost complete. The $4,000 has been consumed for fire training activities and is no longer available to meet this obligation. it is evident that there have been several changes in fire service fiscal matters and needs since Fiscal Year 1969, however, the funding considerations, agreements and obligations made each year are designed to meet the current needs of both . the city and county on the most cost effective basis possible. We therefore, in the spirit of mutual cooperation, request the payment of $5,081 to complete this needed training tower for the City -County Fire Department. The city has no funds budgeted for this purpose. Your kind consideration of this matter will be greatly appreciated. TRN/rh very truly yours, T. R. Naso Director COMMISSIONER Loy COMMENTED THAT THIS ALL CAME ABOUT WHEN SHE CALLED TO FINANCE OFFICER BARTON'S ATTENTION THE FACT THAT A LONG TIME AGO WE PAID THE CITY OF VERO BEACH $4,000, WHICH WAS TO BE HALF OF THE OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES TO BUILD THE FIRE TOWER. WHEN WE RECEIVED THE BILL FROM THE CITY FOR $5,081.00 AS THE REMAINING BALANCE DUE ON THE FIRE TOWER, WE, THEREFORE; PAID ONLY $1,081.00, AND EXPLAINED ABOUT THE $4,000 PAID PREVIOUSLY. THIS RESULTED IN MR. MASON'S LETTER OF JANUARY 10TH, EXPLAINING WHERE THE ORIGINAL $4,000 WENT AND ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL $4,000 TO COMPLETE THE FIRE TOWER. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT IF WE PAID THE ADDITIONAL $4,000 OUR TOTAL CONTRIBUTION WOULD BE $19,000, BUT STATED THAT HE BE- LIEVED AFTER WE PAID THEM THE $4,000, WE STILL BUDGETED THE $15,000. COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED THAT WAS SO AND NOTED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE FOUND IN WRITING TO CLARIFY THE $4,000 PAYMENT MADE IN 1973, AND, IN FACT, THE ONLY THING THAT IS IN WRITING REGARDING 59 Boa 38 PAGE 499 THIS MATTER IS A MEMO FROM FORMER COUNTY FINANCE OFFICER .JACK HOCKMAN TO THE CITY STATING THAT WE HAD $15,000 IN THE BUDGET FOR THE FIRE TOWER AS OF THE PREVIOUS BUDGET YEAR. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT THIS IS AN HONEST MISUNDERSTANDING AND CONTINUED THAT HE FELT THE TOWER IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY. COMMISSIONER LAY COMMENTED THAT IT POINTS OUT TO HER THAT IF, IN THE FUTURE, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE ON A "NEW ENTITY" BASIS, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE THAT MUCH MORE CAREFUL, SHE NOTED THAT MR. NASON'S LETTER STATES THAT THE COUNTY ESTABLISHED A FIRE EQUIPMENT FUND IN 1969, WHICH APPARENTLY THE BOARD WAS NOT AWARE OF. SHE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE MINUTES OF 1969 INDICATE THAT THE COUNTY GAVE THE CITY $60,000 TO TAKE CARE OF THE AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY, AND SHE FELT THEY PROBABLY TOOK $15,000 OUT OF THAT AND MARKED IT FOR A FIRE EQUIP- MENT FUND. SHE CONTINUED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN BUYING BITS AND PIECES OF EQUIPMENT OUT OF THAT FUND SINCE 1969, AND AT THE PRESENT MOMENT IT HAS SOMETHING OVER $100 LEFT IN IT. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE SEEMS TO RECALL AT THE WORKSHOP MEETINGS, WHEN THE TRAINING TOWER.WAS DISCUSSED, IT WAS INDI- CATED THAT IT WOULD COST MORE THAN $15,000, BUT THERE ARE NO MINUTES OF THE WORKSHOP SESSIONS. DISCUSSION CONTINUED, AND IT WAS FELT IF WE PAY THIS BILL, IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR THAT IT IS NOT COUNTY POLICY TO MAKE THIS A NEW ENTITY EVERY YEAR. ON MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE FINANCE OFFICER TO PAY THE CITY OF VERO BEACH $4,000, THE REMAINING BALANCE OF THEIR BILL FOR $5,081.00, WHICH WILL COMPLETE THE AMOUNT DUE ON THE CITY -COUNTY FIRE TRAINING TOWER, ACCORDING TO LETTER DATED .JANUARY 10, 1979, FROM CITY FINANCE DIRECTOR T. R. MASON, AND TO INFORM THE CITY THAT IT IS COUNTY POLICY THAT BUDGETED ITEMS ARE NOTA NEW ENTITY TO BE FUNDED FROM CURRENT AND/OR FUTURE RESOURCES.
