5. B. PRESENTATION— LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES
Representing the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce were Helene
Caseltine, Director of Economic Development, and Bill Curtis, Chairman.
Mr. Curtis, through a PowerPoint Presentation (copy on file), provided
background description on a series of meetings, the Community Leaders Group Economic
Development Summits, which were sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and focused on
exploring methods of encouraging economic development in the County. Mr. Curtis
summarized the key recommendations on actions which could be taken to bring new jobs into
the County, which were made by the three Task Forces - Community Image, Enhanced
Incentives, and Economic Development Funding, which were created at the December 17, 2008
Economic Development Summit meeting.
Commissioner O'Bryan required further information on the Industrial Revenue
Bond funds, as mentioned in Mr. Curtis's above presentation. Administrator Baird provided
specific details on the bond funds.
S. C. PRESENTATION — SECTOR 3 BEACH RESTORATION UPLAND SAND
SOURCE EVALUATION
Jonathan Gorham, Coastal Resource Manager, used a PowerPoint presentation
(copy on file) to summarize the key points of this item, which relates to the possibility of using
locally available upland sand sources to construct the County's proposed Sector 3 Beach
Restoration Project. He compared the characteristics of the upland sand (transported to the beach
by truck), to those of the offshore borrow sand (transported to the beach by hopper dredge), in
relation to the requirements of beach and dune restoration projects. He said the County could
March 3, 2009 3
write specifications and contract documents to provide for upland sand sourcing; but the State
and Federal permits would have to be modified to stipulate an alternative sand source. He stated
that the use of the upland sand source would be feasible only if the proposed fill material meets
or exceeds the critical characteristics of the offshore material, and concluded that the offshore
borrow source was the most appropriate fill material available currently for use in Sector 3.
Chairman Davis desired that the permit should be modified, in order to explore the
option of using the upland sand source. He provided an example of erosion occurring and there
not being enough dredges to go around, and spoke to the advantages of having the opportunity to
use both the upland sand source and the offshore borrow sand source.
Commissioner O'Bryan remarked that it would be advisable to determine whether
the upland sand source was suitable, before potentially causing a delay to the Sector 3 Project.
Additionally, he was concerned about traffic issues which might result from hauling the upland
sand to the beach.
Mr. Gorham assured Commissioner O'Bryan that a prerequisite for a permit
modification would be to have the sand source evaluated.
Public Works Director Jim Davis provided information on work which the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the County had done to the Wabasso Causeway
Bridge, and discussed the need to evaluate what the impact would be to the bridge of having
dump trucks hauling many cubic yards of upland sand. He did not want to see the inconvenience
and expense of having a major repair to the bridge.
Steve Smith, an owner of Ranch Road Sand Mine, introduced Tom Hammond, of
the neighboring Hammond Sand Mines, and Chuck Kramer, representing Fischer & Sons Sand
Mines.
March 3, 2009 4
(Clerk's Note: Steve Smith and Tom Hammond were originally scheduled to speak
under Item 10.B.5. Public Discussion Items, `Regarding "Sector 3 Beach Renourishment
Permit Process Excludes Locals").
Mr. Smith stated that he, Mr. Hammond, and Mr. Fischer, were requesting a
chance to participate, as local business people, in the Sector 3 Beach Renourishment Project. He
pointed out that the way the permit is currently written, it specifically excludes upland sources of
sand, and he urged the Board to have the permit modified as soon as possible. He declared that
the specifications for the fill should be drawn on whether the fill would work to fix the beach.
Chuck Kramer, 10761 US1, Sebastian, stated that he has asked the Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish a set of standards as to what is acceptable for beach
sand, but has had no luck. He believed that if a local government entity established an interest in
using an upland sand source, the DEP might be more amenable to going with that source. He
felt it was imperative that local businesses be given the opportunity to perform, and believed that
they would do so at a substantial savings to the County. He thereafter responded to questions
from the Commissioners regarding the samples of sand (both offshore borrow source and upland
source), which he had provided for the Board's perusal.
Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to know if changing the permit now would
jeopardize the start date of the Sector 3 Beach Renourishment Project.
Mr. Gorham clarified that no permit has yet been issued for the Project, and
believed that if the upland sand source was equal or superior to the offshore sand source, it
should not be a large hurdle to get the DEP and Federal Agencies to consider it.
March 3, 2009 5
Chairman Davis noted that the DEP and Agencies would not consider the use of
the upland sand source, if the County's permit was not modified.
Vice Chairman Flescher declared that the acceptability of the upland sand could
not be determined without having the DEP analyze it.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher,
SECONDED by Chairman Davis, for discussion, to
include upland sand sources in the current permitting
process.
Commissioner Solari felt that the characteristics of the acceptable sand should be
defined so that the sand could be described as a commodity; thus, it would not be described as
upland or borrow area sand, but as sand which meets the commodity specifications.
Commissioners discussed how to proceed with the DEP in terms of establishing
the sand sources as a commodity with certain characteristics.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved the
inclusion of upland sand sources in the permitting process.

10.B.2. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM ARTHUR PRUETT REGARDING WATER
DEPARTMENT RULES AND REGULATIONS
Arthur Pruett, 840 23rd Place, and owner of multiple rental properties, aired
grievances regarding the Utilities system, including the requirements for both owner and renter
to pay a deposit, and for the current owner to clear any liens filed against a previous owner of the
property; having to pay a monthly fee on each rental property when he is away from the County;
and the expenses of hooking up to County water. He asked the Commissioners to try to develop
a more fair system for owners of multiple properties, perhaps having a floating deposit which
could be transferred from rental to rental.
March 3, 2009 20
Director of Utilities Erik Olson provided details and explanation on the current
utilities deposit process, and informed Mr. Pruett that staff was looking into developing a more
streamlined process in the future, and additionally might be able to develop a process related to
landowners with multiple properties.

10.B.4. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM CHARLES WILSON REGARDING ECONOMIC
RECOVERY PLAN AS DISCUSSED 2/17/09
(Clerk's Note: This item was heard following Item 12.D.1. and is placed here for
continuity).
Charles Wilson, 1057 6th Avenue, presented an economic incentive plan which
was a compilation of information and ideas from various citizens, community leaders, and
government officials. He provided details on the suggestion made by Chairman Davis at the
February 5, 2009 Economic Summit Workshop, to do the "RIGHT" thing for Indian River
County, which entails Regulation (Government) Reform, Impact Fee Revisions, Grow Existing
Businesses, High Priority targeting of new business with incentives, and Tax Relief. He then
invited Christopher Marine to speak regarding a suggestion which falls under Regulation
(Government) Reform, for the Board to add flexibility to the permitting process through altering
the Board of Zoning Adjustment to become the Board of Zoning and Code Adjustment.
March 3, 2009 21
Christopher Marine, Chairman of Board of Zoning Adjustment, told the Board
that when business owners were not capable of immediate compliance with a code provision,
they could experience costly delays in obtaining their approvals. He recognized that County
staff did not have the ability to waive the Ordinances, and suggested that the Board of Zoning
Adjustment's authority be expanded such that it could temporarily suspend compliance so a
project could move forward, if circumstances so warranted.
Chairman Davis related an example of a new business owner whose opening had
been delayed, with resulting losses, because of an issue with the height of his existing trees. He
wanted to give the County Administrator the chance to use common sense in the permitting
process, and if the Administrator did not feel comfortable making a determination, the item could
come before the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Chairman Davis added that this process would
make the County a bit more business friendly, and if repetitive instances kept arising, staff could
consider re-evaluating the Ordinance.
Vice Chairman Flescher remarked that anything that would expedite the permitting
process would be invited. He asked Attorney Collins to elucidate upon the proposed enhanced
responsibilities of the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
Attorney Collins stated that the expanded duties under discussion would authorize
the Board of Zoning Adjustment to allow an applicant to operate in advance of completing their
punch list, to give them more time to complete minor things at the end of the Project. He said
that it would be important to have some type of leverage, such as turning off the power, for those
who fail to ultimately come into compliance.
Chairman Davis felt that the proposed expansion of the powers of the Board of
Zoning Adjustment would allow common sense to be sprinkled into the Code.
March 3, 2009 22
Commissioner Wheeler pointed out that the business owners were being granted a
temporary, and not a permanent, variance, and he echoed Chairman Davis's sentiment that
common sense should be utilized to give a little slack in situations where it is merited.
Commissioner O'Bryan stated that in concept, he agreed with the expanded
powers for the Board of Zoning Adjustment; however, he believed that it would be best to
empower County staff with some parameters with which to make reasonable decisions.
Chairman Davis favored having in place a dual track mechanism, comprised of
County staff, and the Board of Zoning Adjustment, noting that currently the Ordinance is either
"black or white".
Vice Chairman Flescher felt that allowing staff or the Board of Zoning Adjustment
to use discretion would allow businesses to move forward and get people working more quickly.
Commissioner Solari stressed that the Board of Zoning Adjustment or the County
Administrator would be granting a temporary suspension of compliance. He would have the
cases go to the County Administrator to sign off on, and that the information would then be
given to the Board of Zoning Adjustment, and also placed as an informational item on the next
Board Meeting Agenda. If the matter was not something that the County Administrator felt
comfortable signing off on, the matter would be kicked up to the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
Administrator Baird confirmed with the Board the procedure that he would follow.
Mr. Wilson led discussion on proposed Impact Fee Revisions, bringing forward
the suggestion to have a six-month moratorium on fees, with review at the end of that time
frame.
March 3, 2009 23
Chairman Davis mentioned that Brevard and Martin Counties were bringing
forward an Ordinance to do some type of suspension to their commercial impact fees, and
wanted to know if anyone had information on why they were doing this, or how they were going
to "get away" with it.
Attorney Collins did not believe that Brevard and Martin Counties could get away
with the suspension, because they were only reducing commercial, and you cannot choose who
gets the reductions. He observed that if a reduction in fees was desired, the Board should not be
seeking a moratorium, but rather, it should amend the Ordinance to discount by some percentage
the set fees which are in place.
Joseph Paladin, President, Black Swan Consulting, briefed the Board on Brevard
County's proposed draft emergency Ordinance for a moratorium on transportation impact fees
and commercial development, and stated that he would obtain and provide a copy of the latter to
Attorney Collins.
Chairman Davis wanted to do something with the County's impact fees.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner O'Bryan and Mr. Wilson regarding
possible losses of impact fee revenues from businesses that were already in the "hopper".
Commissioner Wheeler believed that the transportation impact fees for commercial
development were too high, and the residential impact fees were too low, since it was the
residential which created the need for the commercial, and the demand for the infrastructure.
Regarding the proposed impact fee reductions, Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to
see a requirement for work to commence within six months of pulling a permit, during the six-
month temporary reduction of the fees.
March 3, 2009 24
Discussion continued as staff and Commissioners discussed what the time frames
are for the permitting process, and what a good mechanism would be for individuals to take
advantage of the impact fee reductions, without taking advantage of the system.
Commissioner Wheeler stressed that he was opposed to reducing residential
impact fees, but he would rather do that, than break the law by differentiating between the
commercial and residential fees.
Jason Brown, County Budget Director, displayed the Impact Fee Reduction
Proposal (copy on file), which provided statistics on proposed reductions to various categories of
impact fees. He divulged that waiving impact fees on Fire Rescue, Law Enforcement,
Corrections, Public Buildings, and Solid Waste would result in a 9.9% reduction in residential
impact fees, and a 35.2% reduction in non-residential impact fees.
(Clerk's Note: Chairman Davis noted that Director Brown 's spreadsheet was
available on the County's website, www.ircgov.com.)
Commissioner Wheeler stated that if impact fees were reduced, the financial
burden would be shifted elsewhere. He recalled that in May 2008, he had supported
implementing impact fees which had been proposed in the Duncan Associates Impact Fee
Report, with the exemption of commercial and industrial fees, and that he had wanted to revisit
the latter two categories, and that he still supported this action.
Commissioner Solari believed that the intent of impact fees was to ameliorate the
impacts of development, and he could not support the use of impact fees to promote
development. He also wanted to review the Duncan Associates' Report, and to permanently
March 3, 2009 25
reduce commercial and industrial impact fees, but based on the fact that those fees actually do
not cause much impact.
Further discussion ensued between Commissioner Wheeler and Mr. Wilson
regarding the proposed six-month reduction in impact fees, after which the following action was
taken:
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler,
SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to eliminate for
a six-month period, the impact fees for Fire Rescue, Law
Enforcement, Corrections, Public Buildings, and Solid
Waste, to effect a 9.9% reduction in residential impact
fees, and a 35.2% reduction in non-residential impact fees;
to include a mandate for businesses that pull a permit to
commence building activities within a six-month window;
and to bring back for further Board evaluation, the Duncan
Associates Impact Fee Report.
Mr. Paladin felt that if residential and commercial impact fees could be separated
legally, that would be the route to take. He believed that commercial impact fees could be
eliminated, and that the financial burden would be solved by the tax revenues generated from
new businesses.
A brief discussion arose among Commissioners, staff, and Mr. Wilson regarding
estimated revenue losses which would occur from temporary impact fee reductions.
March 3, 2009 26
Concluding his presentation, Mr. Wilson offered the following suggestions for
economic development:
(1) Request the County Attorney to make changes to the Board of Zoning
Adjustments
(2) Request the County Attorney to draft documents regarding a tax abatement
referendum, which pertained to a suggestion made by Commissioner O'Bryan to have citizens
vote on providing tax abatement incentives for job creation
(3) Reduce Impact Fees for at least six months
(4) Re -task the Committees, particularly the Economic Development Council (to
re-examine their targets), and the Tourist Development Council (to bring in more local events
and weekend travel).
Chairman Davis would have preferred to bring the impact fees down to at least
50%; however, he would support Commissioner Wheeler's Motion.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 3-2
vote (Commissioners Flescher and Solari opposed), the
Motion carried. The Board approved eliminating for a six-
month period, the impact fees for Fire Rescue, Law
Enforcement, Corrections, Public Buildings, and Solid
Waste, to effect a 9.9% reduction in residential impact
fees, and a 35.2% reduction in non-residential impact fees;
to include a mandate for businesses who pull a permit to
commence building activities within a six-month window;
March 3, 2009 27
and to bring back for further Board evaluation, the Duncan
Associates Impact Fee Report.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED by
Commissioner O'Bryan, the Board unanimously
authorized the County Attorney to begin the referendum
process on the tax abatement incentives.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Chairman Davis, to task the Committees,
particularly the Economic Development Council and the
Tourist Development Council, to direct efforts towards the
immediate stimulation of the economy.
Jason Nunemaker, Fellsmere City Manager, expressed support for the actions the
Board was instituting, in order to increase economic development. He wondered if the Board
wanted to consider the extent to which administration could be given more discretion on
development matters, to streamline the process, and pointed out that the Federal Initiative has
done nothing to pull back on the regulatory process.
A brief discussion ensued as Commissioners Wheeler and Solari discussed
proposed State initiatives to regulate local issues, such as impact fees, concurrency, and growth
issues.
Fred Mensing, 7580 129th Street, Sebastian, remarked that in order to promote
tourism, the Board needs to take positive action on bringing Amtrak Service into the County.
March 3, 2009 28
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved tasking
the Committees, particularly the Economic Development
Council and the Tourist Development Council, to direct
efforts towards the immediate stimulation of the economy.
The Chairman called for a break at 3:18 p.m., and the meeting reconvened at 3:30
p.m., with all members present.

OF CONTAMINATION AT GIFFORD LANDFILL
Frank Zorc, 1695 20th Avenue, read a statement (copy on file) regarding a toxic
substance, trichloroethylene (TEC), which was detected in an underground plume of pollution at
the old Gifford Road Landfill, and which he believed had affected neighboring water supplies.
He opined that the TCE had occurred due to Piper Aircraft's former disposal of industrial wastes
at the facility. He believed that Piper should be responsible for the costs of the cleanup, and that
the best mechanism to establish Piper's culpability would be to have the matter investigated by
an out-of-town judge and grand jury.

STABILIZATION PROGRAM (NSP) ADMINISTRATION SERVICES AND
REQUEST TO DESIGNATE THE COUNTY'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ADVISORY COMMITTEE (AHAC) AS THE CDBG CITIZEN ADVISORY
TASK FORCE (CATF) FOR NSP CDBG
County Community Development Director Robert Keating noted that staff was
bringing before the Board two recommendations: (1) to approve a contract with the County's
proposed Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) consultant, Fred Fox Enterprises, Inc.; and (2) to approve the designation of the
County's Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) as the County's Citizen Advisory
Committee for the NSP CDBG.
Director Keating recalled that at a meeting several weeks ago, the Board had
agreed with the Consultant Selection Committee's recommendation to rank Fred Fox
Enterprises, Inc. as the number 1 candidate to administer the Community Development Block
Grant. He divulged that staff had negotiated a contract with the Company for the total amount
of $200,000, a significantly lower figure than the 6.8% administrative amount that could be
charged, and presented staff's recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to
execute the Contract with Fred Fox Enterprises, Inc.
Administrator Baird responded to Commissioner Solari's inquiry as to why price
comparisons of the bid responders had not been included in staff's recommendation.
March 3, 2009 31
Commissioner Solari asked how many people were employed at Fred Fox
Enterprises, Inc. and David Fox (representing the Company), informed him that there were
currently six employees. The Commissioner declared that the $200,000 seemed like a
substantial amount of money, and he established his preference to have price comparisons
included in the backup information, so comparisons could be made on both qualifications and
price.
Director Keating provided further details on the three bids which were received as
a result of the County's Request for Proposals (RFP), and stated that staff had looked at price as
well as performance and other criteria which were in the RFP's.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED
by Chairman Davis, the Board unanimously approved the
proposed contract with Fred Fox Enterprises, Inc. for
administration of the County's Neighborhood Stabilization
Program Community Development Block Grant (NSP
CDBG).
Director Keating provided background on staff's recommendation to designate the
AHAC as the County's Citizen Advisory Task Force (CATF) for the NSP CDBG. He suggested
that due to conflicts of interest, AHAC Committee Members Andy Bowler, Julianne Price, and
Alan Green, should not participate on the Citizen's Advisory Task Force, adding that they would
remain on the AHAC in its normal capacity.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan,
SECONDED by Chairman Davis, for discussion, to
approve staff's recommendation for the AHAC to create a
March 3, 2009 32
subcommittee (minus Andy Bowler, Julianne Price, and
Allen Green), to serve as a Citizen Advisory Task Force to
provide input on the Neighborhood Stabilization Program
Community Development Block Grant.
Commissioner Solari thought that there was an inherent, and possibly a legal,
conflict of interest in the AHAC forming a subcommittee, and wanted to establish a fresh
committee. He suggested that each Commissioner recommend one individual to serve on the
Citizen Advisory Task Force (CATF).
Director Keating discussed the time constraints for the NSP CDBG, and informed
Board members that the CATF must be in place to review the draft application before it comes to
the Board no later than March 17, 2009.
Althea McKenzie, representing the Independent Council, supported
Commissioner Solari's idea to create a new committee. She discussed the importance of
including actual citizens, of low and moderate incomes, on Boards such as the Task Force.
Louise Hubbard, Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council, stated that the best
way to avoid any potential conflict of interest was to establish a separate committee that is
specifically responding to the NSP, and that is not related to the AHAC.
Further discussion ensued between Commissioners and staff regarding time
parameters for constituting the CATF; whether or not the AHAC or a new committee should
serve as the CATF; and regarding the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest in the
administration of the Grant Funds.
March 3, 2009 33
Commissioners Flescher and Solari stated that by the next Board Meeting, they
could each propose at least one individual to serve on the CATF.
Director Keating and Commissioner Solari discussed what percentages of the
Grant would be earmarked for rental housing.
Bridey Buetell, 408 21st Street SE, representing the Mental Health Collaborative,
supported the establishment of a completely separate Task Force, not affiliated with the AHAC.
Commissioner O'Bryan recalled that the three AHAC committee members likely
to have conflicts of interest would not be placed on the NSP CDBG subcommittee. He
supported his Motion to go with staff's recommendation, because he believed it was important to
have the expertise of people familiar with the issues on the Task Force.
Vice Chairman Flescher wanted the Board to select a new group of individuals to
serve on the CATF.
Commissioner Solari gave further reasons supporting his desire to establish a new
committee.
A brief discussion arose between Commissioners and Mr. Fox regarding the
number of new committee members to be designated to serve on the CATF.
Chairman Davis WITHDREW HIS SECOND to
Commissioner O'Bryan's MOTION to approve staff's
recommendation for the AHAC to create a subcommittee
to serve as a Citizen Advisory Task Force, and Motion
DIED for lack of a second.
March 3, 2009 34
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, to form a new
Citizen Advisory Task Force, consisting of three to five
members, as the County's Citizen Advisory Committee for
the NSP CDBG.
It was decided that each Commissioner would present, at the next Board of County
Commission meeting, a candidate for appointment.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved to
create a new Citizen Advisory Task Force, which will
consist of three to five members, as the County's Citizen
Advisory Committee for the NSP CDBG.
(Clerk's Note: The Chairman called a break at 12:07 p.m. and reconvened the
meeting at 12:37 p.m., with Administrator Baird and Commissioner Wheeler absent.
Commissioner Wheeler rejoined the meeting at 12:40 p.m)
12.A.2. BOARD CONSIDERATION TO RENAME THE "RUSSELL GROVE RIVER
BUFFER CONSERVATION AREA" TO THE "CYPRESS BEND COMMUNITY
PRESERVE"
Roland DeBlois, Chief Environmental Planner, displayed an aerial projection
(copy on file) of the Russell Grove River Buffer Conservation Areas. He recapped the backup
memorandum of February 23, 2009 to provide background description and analysis on staffs
March 3, 2009 35
recommendation and the County Conservation Lands Advisory Committee (CLAC's) request,
for the Board to rename the subject area "Cypress Bend Community Preserve".
Chief DeBlois thereafter responded to Chairman Davis's questions regarding the
differences between a "conservation area" and a "preserve".
Chairman Davis felt that a "preserve" had more limited public access, and
preferred to see the area renamed "Cypress Bend Community Conservation Area".
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED
by Commissioner Wheeler, by a 4-1 vote (Chairman Davis
opposed), the Motion carried. The Board authorized
renaming the Russell Grove River Buffer Conservation
Area to "Cypress Bend Community Preserve", as
recommended in the memorandum of February 23, 2009.
12.B. EMERGENCY SERVICES -NONE

12.D. HUMAN RESOURCES
12.D. 1. EMPLOYEE HEALTH CENTER PRESENTATION
James Sexton, Director of Human Resources, provided background information on
staff's request to join with the City of Vero Beach to implement an employee health center,
through the health care provider CareHere. He stated that the goal of the proposed health center
is to offset the increasing cost trends in health care which the County has been experiencing over
March 3, 2009 36
the last several years. He then introduced Kurt Gehring, from the Gehring Group (the Broker of
Record for the City of Vero Beach), and Ray Tomlinson and John Watson of the Crowne
Consulting Group (the County's Agent of Record for its health plan), who would be presenting
analysis on the proposed health center.
Kurt Gehring, President of the Gehring Group, noted that in order to control
escalating health care costs, many municipalities were implementing an employee health center.
He reported that the City Council of Vero Beach had selected CareHere as the top health care
provider for its proposed employee health center. He used a PowerPoint Presentation (copy on
file) to illustrate the benefits which would be experienced by the City of Vero Beach, including
projected savings over the next three years, and to describe the services which would be
available to the employees who choose to utilize the health center. He thereafter divulged that
the City had requested that the Gehring Group explore the County's interest in joining with them
in the implementation of the health center.
Director Sexton noted that extended service hours, more services, and shared costs
would be effected by having both governments combine resources in the implementation of an
employee health center.
Ray Tomlinson, Crowne Consulting Group, provided background information on
Crowne Consulting and on CareHere. He reviewed a PowerPoint Presentation (copy on file) to
outline the financial and other benefits which the City of Port St. Lucie and its employees have
derived from instituting its CareHere employee health center in 2007.
John Watson, Crowne Consulting Group, continued Mr. Tomlinson's PowerPoint
Presentation to detail additional benefits which would be realized by utilizing an off-site health
center, which included reduced prescription drug costs; and health risk assessment and disease
management programs. He then presented statistics on the savings netted by the cities of Port St.
March 3, 2009 37
Lucie and Palm Bay, after incorporating an on-site employee health center into their health care
plans. Mr. Watson projected that after the first year, Indian River County would net a savings of
$937,828 if it institutes the employee health center into its health care plan.
Director Sexton observed that the health center would provide a voluntary option
to the employees, and was not intended to replace the employees' health care plan. He believed
the most important facet of the center was its philosophy of wellness, with a resulting long-term
reduction of claims down the road.
Administrator Baird felt that the implementation of the employee health care
center would provide not only reduction of the County's health care costs, but cost savings and
other benefits to the employees. He thereafter responded to Commissioners' questions regarding
whether the City of Sebastian or the School District might be interested in joining with Vero
Beach and the County; which employees would be eligible to frequent the health center; and
what would be the cost benefits to the employees.
Mr. Tomlinson responded to Commissioners' questions regarding the services
which would be offered at the health care center, and whether prescription drugs would be on -
hand.
Commissioner Solari appreciated the idea of the health center being a long-term
wellness tool, but he also believed that this was a financial decision, and he wanted to see the
financial data which was used to arrive at the statistics presented by Mr. Tomlinson and Mr.
Watson.
Mr. Tomlinson agreed to provide the requested data to the Commissioners.
March 3, 2009 38
Administrator Baird added that the numbers were available, and that he would
provide them to the Board.
Responding to Commissioner Wheeler's inquiry regarding the commitment period,
Mr. Tomlinson divulged that after the first year, and with a 90 -day notice, an entity could close
out its contract with CareHere.
Vice Chairman Flescher stated that the overall plan sounded appealing; however,
he agreed with Commissioner Solari that he would like to see additional financial data.
Staff and Mr. Gehring responded to Vice Chairman Flescher's question regarding
whether retirees would be eligible to use the proposed health care center.
Commissioner O'Bryan liked the concept of the health care center, but also wanted
to see additional financial data. He posed questions to Mr. Tomlinson regarding the health care
center's use of generic medications, and the level of health care which would be provided. He
wanted to see some surveys with feedback from employees who have utilized the health care
centers.
Discussion ensued among staff and Commissioners regarding the effectiveness of
generic drugs.
Commissioner O'Bryan related his recent experience of going to a new clinic,
where he visited two doctors from two different cities, and there had been no coordination in his
medical information. He wanted to know if local physicians would be serving at the health
centers.
March 3, 2009 39
Mr. Tomlinson responded that the employee health centers subscribe to meet
patients' needs through a continuity of care. He stated that all the medical information would be
available in an electronic medical system; that Crowne Consulting Group would be recruiting
local physicians; and that some local physicians have already expressed interest in working at the
employee health centers. Mr. Tomlinson thereafter responded to Commissioner O'Bryan's
question regarding the proposed operating hours for the health care center.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to approve
staff's recommendation, and to contact the City of
Sebastian for their interest in participating in the Interlocal
Agreement with the City of Vero Beach.
Commissioner Wheeler noted that he would be happy to include any of the
municipalities or the School Board as partners with the City of Vero Beach and the County;
however, he mentioned Sebastian as they had displayed an interest in participating.
Commissioner Solari expressed reluctance to move forward with this item, without
obtaining the additional financial information which had been requested by three of the
Commissioners.
Commissioner Wheeler defended his Motion.
Administrator Baird suggested that staff handle this matter in a two-step process.
He would like to begin working on the Interlocal Agreement with the City of Vero Beach and
CareHere, and to return with a full presentation to the Board, which would highlight target
savings amounts to be realized by going to the employee health care center.
March 3, 2009 40
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner Wheeler,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to authorize the
County Administrator to commence working on the
Interlocal Agreement with the City of Vero Beach and
with CareHere to implement an employee health center;
and to bring back a full presentation regarding the
County's targeted savings amounts.
Samuel H. Sadow, MC, FACS, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of
University Medical Clinics (UMC) Sadow, MD, FACS, provided background history and
objectives of the UMC, which has six primary care internal medicine centers throughout the
Treasure Coast, including one in Vero Beach. He requested that the Board include the UMC in
its Commissioner's quest to craft a new program for employee health care.
Director Sexton advised that staff, the City of Vero Beach, and representatives
from the Crowne Consulting Group and the Gehring Group, would be meeting with Dr. Sadow
today (March 3, 2009), at 3:00 p.m.
Discussion ensued between Vice Chairman Flescher and staff regarding whether
moving forward with Commissioner Wheeler's Motion would preclude the opportunity to
explore the option offered by Dr. Sadow.
County Budget Director Jason Brown informed the Commission that BlueCross
BlueShield had last year offered to the County a $4.50 per month reduction in its administrative
fee per employee, per year, based specifically on the CareHere model, and which would result in
an approximate $81,000 savings. He pointed out that if the Board authorized the County
Administrator to move ahead with negotiations for the interlocal Agreement, other alternatives
could still be evaluated, as the contract was not yet being executed.
March 3, 2009 41
Dr. Sadow reported that UMC was interested in not only being the County's
insurance provider, but also its administrator. He asked the Commission to grant him time to
work with Director Sexton to craft a proposal which would appeal to the Commission.
Considering that the Commissioners were awaiting additional financial data and
that there might be an additional option to consider, Vice Chairman Flescher withdrew his
Second from Commissioner Wheeler's earlier Motion.
MOTION to begin working on an Interlocal Agreement
with the City of Vero Beach and with CareHere to
implement an employee health center DIED for lack of a
Second.
Administrator Baird clarified that today's meeting was not about who was going to
be the health care plan administrator. He wanted it on record that he was not getting County
employees out of a national network for someone to administer the health care plan.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED
by Vice Chairman Flescher, the Board directed staff to
negotiate, research, and review all of the County's options;
to continue to investigate Sebastian's interest in
participating in the Interlocal Agreement with the County
and City of Vero Beach with CareHere; and to bring back
to the Board a final recommendation.

12. G. 1.AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR MENTAL HEALTH
COURT PLANNING GRANT
(Clerk's Note: This item was heard following Item S.B. and is placed here for
continuity).
Budget Director Jason Brown recalled that at the February 10, 2009 Board of
County Commission Meeting, Circuit Judge Cynthia Cox had discussed the possibility of
establishing a Mental Health Court in the County. He recapped the backup memorandum of
February 25, 2009, to provide background description, conditions, and funding analysis on
several grants which were available from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the
Mental Health Court Program. He divulged that at this time, the Mental Health Collaborative
and Judge Cox were pursuing the Mental Health Court Planning Grant, in the amount of
$50,000, which would fund the planning for the implementation of the Court, and that the Board
of County Commission would need to serve as the applicant.
Commissioner O'Bryan required further details on the plan; wanted to know if the
Mental Health Collaborative supported the establishment of the Mental Health Court; and
wanted to know if applying for the Planning Grant would commit the County to fund the
implementation of the plan.
It was Director Brown's understanding that the Planning Grant did not commit the
County to funding the implementation.
March 3, 2009 43
Bridey Buetell, representing the Mental Health Collaborative, explained that the
purpose of the Planning Grant was to determine what assets were currently available and what
assets would be needed to establish the Mental Health Court. She divulged that the majority of
the Mental Health Collaborative members supported moving towards establishing the Mental
Health Court. Ms. Buetell reported that further details on the plan would be available on the
Planning Grant Application, which she was working on with Louise Hubbard, and which would
be completed by next week.
Vice Chairman Flescher supported applying for the $50,000 Grant, which would
allow the County to go to the planning stages of implementing the Mental Health Court.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher,
SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to authorize
submittal of a Planning Grant in the amount of $50,000
under the Justice and Mental health Collaborative
Program.
Administrator Baird and Ms. Buetell provided their perspective on whether the
establishment of the Mental Health Court would save County dollars.
Louise Hubbard, representing the Treasure Coast Homeless Services Council,
asked the Board to allow the planning period so that a needs assessment and cost benefit analysis
could be done. She said that the Board members could make a determination regarding the
benefits of establishing the Mental Health Court, after the data is brought back to the
Commission.
Jim Davis, 775 Broadway Street, Vice President of the National Alliance for the
Mentally Ill (NAMI), reported that NAMI strongly recommended Board approval of the Grant.
March 3, 2009 44
He stated that the County has an increasing jail population which contains many individuals who
should not be in jail. He noted that the Mental Health Court is very sensitive to meeting the
needs of the mental health community.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board authorized
submittal of a Planning Grant in the amount of $50,000
under the Justice and Mental Health Collaborative
Program, as recommended in the memorandum of
February 25, 2009.

14.E.1. IRRIGATION
Commissioner Solari provided background information on Senate Bill 494, which
pertains to Water Conservation/Landscape Irrigation Systems. He explained that the Bill would
require the adoption and enforcement by local governments of a Model Ordinance (which is
being developed by the DEP), and which would regulate automatic landscape irrigation systems
and impose penalties upon citizens for improper operation of same. Commissioner Solari
believed the County did not have the manpower to enforce these types of regulations; objected to
these types of mandates due to their unenforceability; and felt that matters pertaining to irrigation
should be handled by citizen education, and not by regulation of the citizens. He wanted the
County Attorney to draw up a Resolution asking the Senate not to pass Senate Bill 494, and to
leave local issues to local governments.
March 3, 2009 49
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to direct the
