PREFERENCE POLICYAND PROCEDURE FOR LOCAL BITSINESSES IN
COUNTY CONTRACTS (LEGISLATIVE)
PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Pursuant to a directive issued at the June 2, 2009 BCC meeting, County Attorney William
Collins brought before the Commission an Ordinance providing a local preference policy for
local businesses in County contracts, and a comparison of recent local versus non -local bid
awards. Attorney Collins explained that the local preference Ordinance would be for businesses
having had a staff and fixed office or distribution point for at least one full year, in Indian River,
Brevard, Martin, Okeechobee, Osceola, or St. Lucie County. He explained that if a non -local
vendor submits the apparent low bid, a local bidder coming within 5% of the low bid price would
be given an opportunity to match that bid. He reviewed the Purchasing Manager's comparisons
on local versus non -local bid awards from October 2008 to the present, and said that the General
Services Department would report back in approximately six months, and again in one year, at
which time the Board would decide whether to continue or modify the Ordinance.
The Chairman opened the Public Hearing.
Nancy Offutt, 686 Date Palm Rd., Treasure Coast Builders Association, expressed
wholehearted support for the Ordinance.
E
July 14, 2009
Jeff Thompson, Seville Avenue, felt that the Ordinance would provide some hope to
local residents.
William Rigby, 8465 59th Avenue, declared that the Ordinance would be a move in the
right direction for small businesses in the community.
There being no further speakers, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher,
SECONDED by Chairman Davis, to adopt the proposed
local preference Ordinance.
Commissioner Solari opposed the Ordinance. He stated that it is a form of protectionism
which is anti -competition and discriminatory against other Americans, and alluding to the local
versus non -local bid award comparison data, he voiced that the Ordinance would probably not
have any material impact on the County. He read quotes from the Wall Street Journal and the
Economist regarding the negative impacts of economic nationalism, and reiterated his position
that in terms of economic development, a local preference policy would be a small step in the
wrong direction.
Commissioner Wheeler also opposed the Ordinance. He did not believe in
protectionism, noting that we live in a free enterprise system, where we deal with Americans
across the County where we can get the best deal. He felt the results obtained from the local
preference policy would be inconsequential; that it sets a poor standard to not allow outsiders to
participate in our system; and that it discourages outsiders from bidding in the County, thus
eliminating competition and driving up prices.
10
July 14, 2009
Chairman Davis disagreed with Commissioners Solari and Wheeler. He supported the
Ordinance, and saw therein the opportunity for those who have generated the tax revenues in the
community to be able to provide jobs through local employment. He affirmed that it would be a
net positive for both Indian River and the neighboring counties.
Commissioner O'Bryan alluded to page 66 of the backup, wherein DeAngelis Diamond
Construction, Inc., from Naples, Florida, had been granted the Bid Award for a $1.3 million
project. He did not believe it was right to let that amount of money leave the County, pointing
out that if the Ordinance had been in effect prior to this bid, two local contractors would have
been eligible to try to match the low bid. Commissioner O'Bryan acknowledged points made by
Commissioners Solari and Wheeler; however, although he did not regard it as a permanent step,
he felt the Ordinance should be adopted at this time.
The Commissioners continued to voice their support or lack thereof, for the proposed
Ordinance.
Vice Chairman Flescher's disclosure (for the record), that he had purchased two
American-made vehicles at local car dealerships, one of which was now closed, sparked further
discussion on vehicle origins, and on the benefits of purchasing local products from local
businesses.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 3-2
vote (Commissioners Wheeler and Solari opposed), the
Motion carried. The Board adopted Ordinance 2009-010,
amending Chapter 105 (Purchasing) of The Code of
Ordinances of Indian River County, Florida to create a
new Section 105.041 to provide a local preference policy
11
July 14, 2009
and procedure for local businesses in County contracts;
providing for repeal of other conflicting ordinances;
providing for severability; providing for inclusion in the
Code of Indian River County; providing for filing with the
Department of State; and providing for an effective date.

Director of Human Resources James Sexton recapped the memorandum of July 7, 2009
to provide background and details on the proposed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the
Teamer's Local 769. He said that in view of the upcoming fiscal year's budget challenges,
Human Resources had engaged in dialogue with both the IAFF (International Association of
Firefighters) Local 2201, and the Teamsters Local 769, and that negotiations have resulted in a
Memorandum of Agreement with the Teamsters Local 769 to forgo their contractual increases
for the next fiscal year. Staff's recommendation was for the Board to ratify the Memorandum
of Agreement.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED
by Commissioner Solari, the Board unanimously ratified
the Memorandum of Agreement with Teamsters Local
Union No. 769, as recommended in the memorandum of
July 7, 2009.
Commissioner O'Bryan commended Steve Myers, the business representative for the
Teamster's Local Union No. 769, and the members of the Union, for stepping forward with this
agreement at this time.
Chairman Davis hoped that Mr. Myers and the members of Teamster's Local 769 would
receive the recognition that they deserve for helping the County in this manner.
13
July 14, 2009
Administrator Baird wanted to personally thank the employees and Mr. Myers for their
cooperation and unselfishness. He said that the MOA is a great thing for the community, and
will result in a savings of approximately $470,000.
Vice Chairman Flescher added his thanks and commended the employees and Mr. Myers
for stepping up to the plate. He hoped that the opportunity for the County to grant contractual
raises would prevail in the succeeding fiscal year.
Commissioner Wheeler desired to have presented at the next Commission meeting on
July 21, 2009, a proclamation acknowledging the unselfish actions of Mr. Meyers and the
members of Teamsters Local 769.
Administrator Baird mentioned that those employees who are not represented by the
Union, will also not get raises, adding that there is only one segment who would receive raises.
Rene Renzi, Waverly Place, wanted to know which workers are represented by the
Teamster's Local 769.
Administrator Baird divulged that the Union represents mainly the field people, and
clarified that the firefighters did not forgo their raises.
Commissioner O'Bryan pointed out that both the Teamsters Local 769 and the IAFF
agreed to forgo a cost of living increase for the coming fiscal year; however, the Teamsters have
also agreed to forgo their annual step increase, which is based on longevity of service.

PROJECT NUMBER: FM 409504-I -58-OI , INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
PROJECT NO. 0202
Chairman Davis presented to the Deputy Clerk for inclusion in the Official Record, a
letter outlining Sebastian resident Jannet E. Perry's concerns on the proposed sidewalk.
Assistant Public Works Director Chris Mora used maps and displayed an aerial view of
the boundaries of the proposed sidewalk, to be constructed along the east side of Indian River
Drive, connected to the existing sidewalk at the north city limits of the City of Sebastian at
Capt'n Butcher's, and extended to Roseland Road subject area. He detailed the background
history and conditions of the project, divulging that the Project would receive 100% Federal
Funding, with the County contributing its staff for design and construction. After outlining two
alternatives for the Board, Director Mora presented staff's recommendation to approve
Alternative No. 1, the sidewalk plan, and to authorize staff to move forward with the bidding and
construction of the project.
Director Mora and County Engineer Chris Kafer responded to Commissioner Solari's
inquiry on why the boundaries of the project would not extend to U.S. 1.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to approve
staff's recommendation, Alternative No. 1.
Sherry Reichert, 13415 North Indian River Drive, supported the sidewalk, noting that it
would increase safety, beautify the road, and increase property values, but wanted staff to protect
the oak trees and to not put out signage.
16
July 14, 2009
Chairman Davis recalled some of the concerns expressed at a public meeting with the
homeowners residing near the proposed sidewalk, and said that the Commission would be
following up with those residents.
Commissioner O'Bryan felt that the proposed sidewalk would improve pedestrian and
bike safety.
Director Mora responded affirmatively to Ms. Renzi's question regarding maintaining
the low speed limits beyond Sebastian's City Limits.
Chairman Davis sought and received confirmation from staff that at this time, no benches
would be placed along the sidewalk.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved the
sidewalk plan and authorized staff to move forward with
the North Indian River Drive Sidewalk Project, as
recommended in the memorandum of June 25, 2009.
