PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER THEN REVIEWED THE FOLLOWING STAFF REPORT: ZONIPNG CHANGE - STAFF REPORT Benjamin F. Bailey III Omer Theodore W. Herzog Esq. Attorney Arent P. 0. Box 2110 Address Vero Beach, Fla. 32960 4-4-80 Date of Application) IRC-80-ZC-6 Application PJumoer) A C-1 Rezoning from to (District District) Preliminary Final X Hearing PROPOSED USE AND LOCATION: Subject property, approximately 36.13 acres, is located at e corner of tate oad 60 and State Road 505A which extends all the way back to 26th Street. The property is bordered by roads on three sides. The applicant is proposing a neighborhood shopping center with a -savings and loan, super market and shops serving the needs of the neighborhood in the area. EXISTING SITUATION: The property is presently in citrus groves. The surrounding area immediately to the north is Walker Avenue; beyond that, land is vacant with some scattered residences. To the northeast, the land is vacant and beyond that is Eucalyptus Place Subdivision; to the northwest is Walker residence and Rivera Estates; to the southeast is Romana Park, Subdivision, Mortimer Parkway Subdivision and Vero Villa; to the southwest, the land is vacant. RECONiMEN DATION: The application is in order. Staff recognizes the need for a commercial node in the developing area along S.R. 60, however, staff feels that the extent of the proposed rezoning for the subject property is unnecessary. Therefore, staff recommends rezoning the first 1,500 feet from S.R. 60 to C-1, Commercial and maintain the existing surrounding land uses. David 14. 'Bever Planning & Zoning Director DMR: jt cc: Herzog PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER COMMENTED THAT HE WOULD BE DIVERTING SOMEWHAT FROM THE STAFF REPORT AS THIS PARTICULAR TRACT HAS CREATED A LOT OF DISCUSSION; NO DECISION WAS REACHED, AS IT HINGED AROUND THE AMOUNT OF LAND WHICH WAS TO BE REZONED. MR. REVER ADVISED THE APPLICANT WAS AMENABLE TO RESTRICTING THE PROPOSAL TO 1250 LINEAL FEET NORTH FROM THE PROPERTY LINE ON ROUTE 60 WHICH WOULD COINCIDE WITH TRACT S FROM THE WEST, SO THERE WOULD BE A CONTINUOUS LINE ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDE OF KINGS HIGHWAY. HE REPORTED THAT THE PLANNING & ZONING BOARD WAS NOT AGAINST THE REZONING, JUST DID NOT KNOW HOW MUCH TO REZONE. MR. REVER CONTINUED THAT STAFF NOW WANTS TO GO WITH 1250 LINEAL FEET, AND THEY FEEL THE PRESENT AND FUTURE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL INDICATE THAT THIS AREA IS ONE OF PRIME GROWTH; THIS AREA IS, IN FACT, THE PRIME AREA FOR THE MAJOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOP- MENT. HE ADDED THAT THE APPLICANT HAS SHOWN THE STAFF A PROPOSED USE WITH A SUBSTANTIAL BUFFER ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH; THERE IS A GREEN AREA ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH AND ALSO ALONG KINGS HIGHWAY AND RAMONA PARK. MR. REVER COMMENTED THAT WHAT THE APPLICANT HAS SHOWN HIM INDICATED A VERY FINE DEVELOPMENT TO DEAL WITH THE SERVICES THIS AREA WILL NEED NOW AND IN TWENTY YEARS, COMMISSIONER LYONS WONDERED WHY, IF THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO. BE SUCH A MAJOR GROWTH AREA, THEY WERE LIMITING THE SIZE OF THE PARCEL? PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER STATED THAT THE EXTENT OF LAND FROM ROUTE 60 TO 26TH STREET CONSTITUTES STRIP ZONING, AND THEY FELT IT WAS MORE COMPATIBLE TO RECOMMEND NODAL DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN STRIP DEVELOPMENT. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED WHETHER THEY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO REZONING THE FOUR CORNERS.' PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER REPLIED AFFIRMATIVELY, AS THE ROADS ARE MAJOR ONES AND TRADE WOULD PRINCIPALLY COME FROM THE SURROUNDING AREAS, PARTICULARLY FROM THE NORTH WHERE SUBDIVISIONS ARE NOW UNDERWAY, HE CONTINUED THAT THE NEXT MAJOR SHOPPING CENTER IS ON ROUTE 1, WITH SEVERAL SMALL SHOPPING AREAS EN ROUTE. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THE PLANNER FELT THAT THE AGRICULTURAL LINE WILL DISAPPEAR. 13oaic s �c 6 JUN 41980' JUN 4190 8e0f43 - Pni 616 PLANNER REVER REPORTED THAT STAFF DID NOT FEEL IT IS ALIGNED IN THIS PARTICULAR AREA AND THIS INDICATES THAT THE GROWTH IS COMING AND IS IN THE AREA; THAT IS, TAKE IT OUT OF THE 43RD AVENUE AREA AND GENERATE IT TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT HE WAS SURE THE MERCHANTS IN THE 43RD AVENUE AREA WOULD ENJOY THAT. BENJAMIN F. BAILEY, III,' APPROACHED THE BOARD AND NOTED THAT MR. REVER HAS GONE OVER THE GROWTH OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AND FELT THE BOARD WAS AWARE THAT THE COUNTY IS GROWING TO THE WEST. HE CONTINUED THAT THE BOARD DESIGNATED THIS AREA TO BE COMMERCIAL IN ITS MASTER PLAN. MR. BAILEY STATED THAT THE GROVE IN QUESTION HAS BEEN IN HIS FAMILY SINCE 1942 AND WAS PRODUCING AT THAT TIME,BUT NOW THE GROVE IS AT THE POINT WHERE IT IS ECONOMICALLY UNFEASIBLE TO REPLANT. HE ADVISED THAT RALPH SEXTON IS A PROPONENT OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS, AND HAD SAID'THI.S WAS NOT PRIME CITRUS AREA, MR. BAILEY REPORTED THAT THERE IS A POND AREA IN THE SOUTH PORTION THAT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO FILL IN, AND FOR THOSE REASONS WAS NOT WILLING TO REPLANT THIS GROVE. HE FELT HITS REQUEST WAS TIMELY, REASONABLE, AND THAT THE COUNTY HAS THE POPULATION OUT IN THAT AREA TO SUPPORT IT. MR. BAILEY STATED THAT WHAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO IS PUT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING AREA IN THE SOUTH PORTION OF HIS PROPERTY; A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE WANTED TO BUY THIS PROPERTY BUT HE DID NOT WANT TO SELL IT AS HE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY. HE COMMENTED THAT HE DOES NOT LIKE STRIP SHOPPING CENTERS, SUCH AS THE WINN-DIXIE/ECKERD APPROACH; HE WOULD LIKE TO DO A SHOPPING CENTER SUCH AS THE ONE IN WEST PALM BEACH ON PGA BOULEVARD WHICH HAS A WOOD AND STONE "LOOK" THAT BLENDS IN NICELY WITH THE SURROUNDINGS. MR. BAILEY REPORTED THERE ARE TWO BANKING INSTITUTIONS, TWO HIGH QUALITY FOOD CHAINS,AND ONE DRUG STORE CHAIN THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE IN THIS SHOPPING CENTER; AND HIS REQUEST IS FOR THE 620' ON ROUTE 60 AND 1250' NORTH ON KINGS HIGHWAY. HE THEN PROPOSED A 100' BUFFER ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH, A LANDSCAPED AREA AT RAMONA PARK, AND A BUFFER ON ROUTE 60. MR. BAILEY SAID HE UNDERSTOOD THE CONCERNS OF THE PEOPLE AND FELT STRONGLY THAT WHOEVER GOES OUT THERE IS GOING TO SET THE TONE OF DEVELOPMENT. HE ADDED THAT HE IS A LOCAL PERSON DOING THIS, RATHER THAN SOMEONE FROM OUT OF TOWN; AND HE IS HIS OWN CLOSEST NEIGHBOR, AND WOULD CERTAINLY NOT DO ANYTHING TO "MESS UP" THE COMMUNITY. MR. BAILEY COMMENTED THAT THIS LAND ADHERES TO THE MASTER FLAN, AND THE WESTERN PART OF THE COUNTY NEEDS A SERVICE AREA, THEREFORE, THE REQUEST FOR REZONING. TED HERZOG, ATTORNEY FOR MR. BAILEY, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND REVIEWED THE KEY ISSUES WHICH ARE TIMING, AND THE BEST USE OF THIS PROPERTY. HE URGED THE BOARD TO CONSIDER MR. BAILEY'S GOOD TRACK RECORD. MR. HERZOG ADVISED THAT RAMONA PARK AND SHADOWBROOK SUBDIVISION ARE SOLD OUT, AND VILLAGE GREEN IS A DENSELY POPULATED AREA, AND THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR TO CONSIDER. HE FELT BY VIRTUE OF THE POPULATION IN PLACE, THERE WAS A NEED FOR COMMERCIAL ZONING IN THE AREA, BUT THEY WERE TRYING TO AVOID THE LEADING EDGE TYPE OF ZONING. ATTORNEY HERZOG REPORTED THE MASTER PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN 1976 AND CLEARLY ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL ZONING AS BEING RECOMMENDED FOR MR. BAILEY'S PROPERTY. HE ADDED THAT AS FAR AS THE HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING & ZONING BOARD, THEY WERE IN FAVOR OF THE ZONING BUT THERE WAS NO UNANIMITY AS TO THE LINEAL DEPTH. ATTORNEY HERZOG ADDED THAT REFERRING TO COMMISSIONER LYONS' COMMENT ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE DEVELOP- MENT, THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS MET EXTENSIVELY WITH THE PLANNING STAFF TO ARRIVE AT THE 1250' FIGURE, AND HAD HIRED -AN ARCHITECT -TO PLAN AN EXTENSIVE GREEN AREA WHICH WOULD HAVE A MODERN SHOPPING CENTER USING THE CONCEPT OF A CLUSTER OF SHOPS. HE THEN GAVE THE BOARD SEVERAL PETITIONS AND REQUESTED THEY BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD. THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY ONE PRESENT WHO WISHED TO SPEAK. DAN KILBRIDE, ATTORNEY REPRESENTING A GROUP OF PROPERTY OWNERS WHO RESIDE IN THE VICINITY OF THIS PROPOSED REZONING, APPROACHED THE BOARD. HE THEN PRESENTED SOME PETITIONS TO THE BOARD AND REQUESTED THEY BE MADE A PART OF THE RECORD. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE CONTINUED THAT THE PEOPLE HE REPRESENTS DO NOT BELIEVE OR FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE REZONED TO COMMERCIAL - NOT HERE AND NOT NOW. HE REFERRED TO THE FINE SHOPPING CENTER THAT MR. BAILEY PLANS TO DEVELOP, AND HE WAS 15 JUN 41990 BOOK 4j `PAGE �� J JUN 41980 BodK 43 PAGE 618 AWARE OF HIS REPUTATION, BUT THE BOARD SHOULD REALIZE THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT SITE PLAN DEVELOPMENT, BUT REZONING. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE FELT MR. BAILEY IS NOT MAKING A COMMITMENT AND CANNOT BE BOUND; AND THIS PROPERTY COULD BE SOLD AND DEVELOPED BY SOMEONE ELSE. HE SPOKE ABOUT WHETHER THIS CORNER AREA IS READY FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AS INDICATED ON THE MASTER PLAN, AND FELT IT SHOULD BE HELD OFF UNTIL IT IS COMMERCIALLY READY, NOT WHEN'IT IS THE LEADING EDGE. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE STATED THAT SHADOWBROOK SUBDIVISION IS OVER A MILE NORTH OF THIS PROPERTY, AND THERE IS A MOBILE HOME PARK ABOUT TWO MILES WEST OF THIS PROPERTY; THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT UNTIL 43RD AVENUE - THERE IS ALMOST NO DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA AND NOT SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. HE FELT IT WOULD TAKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO SUPPORT A PROJECT OF THIS SORT, AND NOTED THAT THE 43RD AVENUE COMMERCIAL AREA IS WITHIN ONE MILE OF THE PROPOSED SITE AND -SERVICES THIS AREA VERY WELL. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE NOTED IT WAS NOT DETERMINED THAT DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA HAS TAKEN PLACE. HE THEN REFERRED TO THE WALKER PROPERTY,CONSISTING OF APPROXIMATELY 30 ACRES, WHICH WAS REZONED RECENTLY AND OBVIOUSLY WILL BE AN IMPOR- TANT FACTOR IN THE AREA IF AND WHEN IT IS DEVELOPED. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE COMMENTED THAT THIS SHOPPING CENTER WILL NOT BE DRAWING PEOPLE FROM THE CITY TO HELP SUPPORT AND MAINTAIN THE SHOPS. HE THEN SPOKE ABOUT THE CITRUS LINE AND WONDERED IF THERE IS PRESSURE FOR DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD INTERFERE WITH THE CITRUS LINE. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE POINTED OUT THE PROBLEMS THAT COULD OCCUR IN THE SUBJECT NARROW, LONG PARCEL WHICH HAS A RESIDENTIAL AREA TO THE EAST. HE CONTINUED THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO CUT OUT THE LIGHT, NOISE, DIRT AND DUST INTRUSION THAT IS GOING TO OCCUR; THE WEST PALM BEACH SHOPPING CENTER REFERRED TO IN MR. BAILEY'S PRESENTATION IS ATTRACTIVE FROM THE FRONT, BUT FROM THE REAR THERE ARE MAJOR SEMI -TRUCKS LOADING AND UNLOADING - THERE IS NO WAY TO CUT DOWN THAT NOISE, ESPECIALLY TO THE EAST. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE NOTED THE MAJOR LINE OF DEVELOPMENT HAS TO BE NORTH TO SOUTH WITH THE REAR OF THE STORES FACING RAMONA PARK, WHICH WOULD DEVALUATE THIS SUBDIVISION. HE STATED THAT THE PLANNING & ZONING BOARD DID NOT RECOMMEND COMMERCIAL ZONING OF ANY TYPE, AND NO VOTE WAS TAKEN; THEREFORE, NOTHING IS ON THE RECORD EXCEPT SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FOOTAGE. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE SUMMARIZED BY SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT THE TIME OR THE PLACE FOR A DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS AS NO TRAFFIC STUDY HAS BEEN DONE AT THIS DANGEROUS INTERSECTION, AND THE IMPACT ON KINGS HIGHWAY WILL BE MAJOR. HE STRESSED THE EFFECT ON THE NEIGHBORING DEVELOPMENT WILL BE VERY DETRIMENTAL, AND HE STRONGLY OPPOSED THE REZONING. A GENTLEMAN FROM THE AUDIENCE ASKED WHO ATTORNEY KILBRIDE REPRESENTED, AND THE ATTORNEY RESPONDED THAT MR. NIXON, MS. BRANNON AND MR. POTEAT, ALONG WITH OTHER NEIGHBORS, HAD RETAINED HIS SERVICES. PHIL NIXON, WHO RESIDES ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE PROPOSED REZONING SITE, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND COMMENTED THAT HE LIVES IN THE FORMER GOODRICH ESTATE, AND DOES NOT LIKE TO SEE THE AREA DESTROYED. HE ADDED THAT SINCE THERE ARE VERY FEW PIECES OF PROPERY SUCH AS HIS, AND VERY UNLIKELY THAT ANY WILL BE BUILT, HE IS;VERY INTERESTED IN MAINTAINING IT AS IT IS VERY DEAR TO HIM, IN ORDER TO LEAVE IT TO HIS FAMILY. MR. NIXON STRESSED THAT WITH THE GROWTH OF FLORIDA, AGRICULTURAL LANDS ARE BEING REZONED TO RESIDENTIAL — AND THIS MUST BE STOPPED AS WE WILL RUN OUT OF AGRICULTURAL LAND. HE ALSO DID NOT BELIEVE THAT MR. BAILEYS AGRICULTURAL LAND WAS NOT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TO REPLACE, AND EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING OUR AGRICULTURAL LAND AND NOT KILL THE GOLDEN GOOSE THAT IS SUPPORTING THE COUNTY. MR. NIXON THEN PRESENTED SOME PETITIONS TO THE BOARD AND REQUESTED THEY BE MADE A PART OF THE RECORD. HE CONCLUDED BY ADVISING HOW DESPERATELY HE, ALONG WITH THE PEOPLE LOCATED IN RIVERA ESTATES AND RAMONA PARK, AND OTHERS, DO NOT WANT COMMERCIAL ZONING AT THIS SITE. e VARIOUS PETITIONS RECEIVED FROM ATTORNEY HERZOG, ATTORNEY KILBRIDE AND PHIL NIXON WERE ACCEPTED AND WILL BE PLACED ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK. COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP MR. NIXON HAD WITH ATTORNEY KILBRIDE. JUN 4 19 0 17 8, ox _�P, F �� JUN 41980 Book . 43 FiGE,626 MR. NIXON RESPONDED THAT THERE ARE ABOUT TWENTY PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED.TO RETAINING HIS SERVICES IN THIS MATTER. N JULIE LINDSTER, RAMONA PARK, NOTED THAT MR. BAILEY SAID HE WILL PUT UP A NICE SHOPPING CENTER, BUT THEY HAVE NO GUARANTEE THAT HE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP IT. SHE THEN EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT THAT THE COMMERCIAL ZONING WOULD ATTRACT, AND THE RESIDENTS WOULD NOT FEEL SAFE'IN THEIR HOMES. MS. LINDSTER FELT THERE WOULD BE A DEVALUATION OF THEIR PROPERTY IN RAMONA PARK, AND DID NOT.WANT TO HAVE THE NOISE AND CONFUSION IN THAT AREA. SAM MOON, WHO RESIDES ON 8 ACRES IN TRACT 12 JUST SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND WAS OF THE OPINION THAT ROUTE 60 AND KINGS HIGHWAY IS A MAJOR HIGHWAY INTERSECTION AND THEREFORE, IS NOT A DESIRABLE RESIDENTIAL AREA, HE ADDED THAT HE LOVES HIS OLD WOOD HOUSE, WISHED IT COULD BE THERE FOREVER, BUT TIME DOES GO BY -'THE ENERGY SITUATION PREVENTS THEM FROM HAVING AIR CONDITIONING IN THEIR HUGE HOME; THEREFORE, THE TRAFFIC NOISE IS TREMENDOUS. MR. MOON STATED HE HAD NO PARTICULAR OBJECTION TO A PROPERLY PLANNED AND REZONED DEVELOPMENT AS MR, BAILEY HAD DESCRIBED, AND SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE HE MAY BE ASKING FOR A REZONING ALSO, HE CONTINUED THAT THIS AREA IS THE ENTRANCE TO VERO BEACH AND SHOULD REMAIN IN GOOD APPEARANCE; THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING IS HOW WELL THE AREA IS MAINTAINED. MR. MOON ADVISED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS SPENT TIME AND MONEY REMODELING HIS HOME AND PROPERTY TO MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE AND FELT THE OTHER CORNERS NOW ARE NOT ATTRACTIVE. HE COMMENTED THAT MR. POTEAT JUST LIVES IN VERO BEACH A FEW MONTHS OF THE YEAR AND HOPED THAT HE REMODELS HIS PROPERTY SO THAT IT WOULD ALSO BE AN ASSET. -MR. MOON THEN STATED HE HAD NO OBJECTION TO THE REZONING DIRECTLY NORTH OF HIS PROPERTY. ROBERT SNOW, 2356 16TH AVENUE, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND ASKED IF PROVISION HAD BEEN MADE FOR PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY AND PUBLIC SEWER SERVICE TO THIS AREA, ALSO PROVISION FOR SURFACE WATER RUN-OFF. PLANNER REVER COMMENTED THAT THERE IS NO PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER - IT WOULD BE HANDLED BY THE INDIVIDUAL, AND ALL THE WATER GENERATED BY THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, UNDER A 25 YEAR STORM CONDITION, WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF, HE CONTINUED THAT THERE IS A PROVISION FOR DRAINAGE AS THE WATER WOULD BE HANDLED ON THE SITE. MR. SNOW THOUGHT THAT IN VIEW OF THESE ANSWERS, HE WOULD BE OPPOSED TO REZONING AS THE COUNTY IS NOT PREPARED TO HANDLE THAT TYPE OF LAND USE. HE CONTINUED THAT THE SEWAGE FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE GOING INTO THE WELLS OF THE RESIDENTS OF RAMONA PARK. MR. SNOW THEN PLEADED WITH THE BOARD TO CONSIDER WHETHER, IN THE ABSENCE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES, THIS LAND IS READY FOR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT THEN ASKED MR. SNOW IF HE OWNED PROPERTY IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY, AND HE REPLIED NEGATIVELY. HENRY MULLER, 1805 CUTLASS COVE DRIVE, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND ADVISED THAT HE WAS A DEVELOPER OF RESIDENCES AND IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF PLANNING FUTURE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE SUBJECT AREA. HE THEN REFERRED TO ATTORNEY KILBRIDE'S COMMENTS: "NOT HERE, NOT NOW" BY STATING, "WHERE ELSE?" MR. MULLER ADDED THAT IT SEEMED TO HIM THAT HERE IS THE PLACE, NOT 15 MILES FURTHER WEST, AND THERE IS A NEED FOR COMPETITION IN THE AREA, AND HE DID NOT THINK IT WAS DETRIMENTAL TO HAVE COMPETITIVE INSTALLATIONS. HE CONTINUED THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A MISUNDERSTANDING AS TO THE LEAD-TIME TO GET A PROJECT LIKE THIS UNDER WAY, AND NO ONE WOULD SIGN A LEASE RIGHT AWAY UNLESS THEY KNEW IN THEIR OWN MINDS THAT THIS WOULD BE A PROFIT- ABLE THING TO DO. MR. MULLER FELT IT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME AFTER THE REZONING BEFORE IT GETS FULLY DEVELOPED AS A COMMERCIAL CENTER, AS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO DEVE°LOP THE CONTRACTS. HE ADDED THAT THE GROWTH IN VERO BEACH IS GOING TO BE WEST OF 43RD AVENUE AND THE BEACH AREA IS GETTING DENSER. MR. MULLER ADVISED THAT HE IS A TENANT OF MR. BAILEY'S AND WAS ASKED TO RECOMMEND AN ARCHITECT; THAT IS HIS ONLY INTEREST IN THIS SITUATION, OTHER THAN THE GROWTH WEST OF TOWN. 19 mox 43 FSE 6 1 JUN 4 19 90 JUN 41980 Boa :431 PAGE 622 HE COMMENTED THAT WATER AND SEWER IS NEVER THERE WHEN YOU WANT THEM - AND NOBODY IS GOING TO BE PERMITTED TO POISON ANYBODY IS WELL. DR. BOB SMYTHE, VILLAGE GREEN #134, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND ADVISED THAT HE HAS BEEN A RESIDENT SINCE 1954 AND HAS PRACTICED DENTISTRY ON THE BEACH. HE STATED THAT HE PERSONALLY CANVASSED OVER 200 PEOPLE IN UNIT 1 IN VILLAGE GREEN, AND HE HAS FOUND NO ONE IN THE PARK AGAINST THIS SHOPPING CENTER - THEY ARE VERY GRATEFUL AND HOPEFUL THAT IT WILL PROCEED. DR. SMYTHE ADVISED THAT IN VILLAGE GREEN, PHASE 2 IS ALREADY SOLD OUT, PHASE 3 IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND PHASE 4 WILL HAVE 600 OR MORE HOMES, HE NOTED THAT THEY WILL ALL BE COMPLETED BY THE TIME THIS SHOPPING CENTER WILL BE FINISHED. DR. SMYTHE COMMENTED THAT WINN DIXIE AT 43RD AVENUE IS DIRTY AND ILL -KEPT, AND THE_SPOT NEXT TO THE DRUG STORE LOOKS LIKE A TRASH PILE - HE FELT IT WAS NOT A GOOD SHOPPING CENTER. HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL BUILDINGS ON CARDINAL DRIVE AND IF THEY ARE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT MR. BAILEY WILL BE PUTTING UP, HE WAS ALL FOR THE REZONING, A GENTLEMAN, FROM 24TH STREET IN RIVERA ESTATES, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND COMMENTED THAT HE WENT TO SEE EVERYONE ON HIS STREET AND NOBODY WANTS THE PROPOSED SHOPPING CENTER. HE ADDED THAT THEY ALL FEEL THEY HAVE SUFFICIENT SHOPPING FACILITIES ALREADY. WALTER HASSEY, RAMONA PARK, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE DRAINAGE, THE WATER AND SEWER, AND THOUGHT THERE WILL BE SOME BACTERIA COMING INTO THEIR WELLS. HE ADDED THAT THEY WILL HAVE THE NOISE AND LIGHT INTRUSION, AND THE NEIGHBORS IN RAMONA PARK WISHED THE BOARD WOULD RESPECT THEIR DESIRE TO HAVE A PEACEFUL AND SECURE NEIGHBORHOOD. MR. HASSEY COMPARED IT TO COUNTRY -LIVING BECAUSE IT IS NICE AND DARK, AND HE FELT THE 43RD AVENUE SHOPPING AREA SUFFICIENTLY SERVED THEIR NEEDS. DONNA NIXON, ROUTE 60, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND SPOKE IN DEFENSE OF MR. POTEAT, WHO IS A PART-TIME RESIDENT OF VERO BEACH. SHE ADDED THAT HE IS PLANNING TO REBUILD AND REDO HIS CITRUS LAND. MRS. NIXON NOTED THE OWNERS OF THE OTHER TWO CORNERS WERE VERY ADAMANT ABOUT MR. BAILEYS REZONING, AND SHE. DID NOT BELIEVE THIS INTERSECTION CAN TAKE THE COMMERCIAL ZONING AT THIS TIME AS THERE ARE TRAFFIC HAZARDS. SANDY NIXON, ROUTE 60, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND TEARFULLY STATED THAT IF THE PEOPLE IN VILLAGE GREEN WANTED A SHOPPING CENTER, THEY SHOULD BUILD IT IN THEIR BACK YARD AND NOT IN HERS. PHILIP NIXON, JR., ROUTE 60, ADVISED THE BOARD THAT HE WAS 19 YEARS OLD AND HAD LIVED IN HIS HOME FOR 14 YEARS AND WAS STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE REZONING. MARK ASHTON, 1815 32ND AVENUE, AND WHO ALSO OWNS A LOT IN SHADOWBROOK, ADVISED THE BOARD THAT HE IS IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT - HE THINKS IT WOULD BE AN ASSET TO THE AREA, ATTORNEY HERZOG SPOKE TO THE BOARD AGAIN ABOUT THE ISSUE OF TIMING, AND THAT HE RELIED ON THE DEMOGRAPHIC STUDIES, PLUS THE VIEWS OF THE PROFESSIONALS IN THE PLANNING STAFF, WHO HAVE INDICATED THAT THERE IS A NEED FOR A SHOPPING CENTER AT THIS TIME. HE CONTINUED THAT THE NEXT ISSUE WAS THE QUALITY OF DEVELOPMENT THAT MR. BAILEY HAD PLANNED AND FELT THERE WAS NOT ONE NEGATIVE IMPACT IN THIS DESIGN. ATTORNEY HERZOG MENTIONED THE THIRD POINT WAS THE NOISE LEVEL AND DIRT MOVEMENT AND FELT THIS WAS A BIT OF A RED HERRING, AND AS FAR AS THE DEVALUATION OF PROPERTY IN RAMONA PARK, BASED ON HIS EXPERIENCE, THE PROPERTY VALUES WILL INCREASE AS A COMMERCIAL AREA IS INCREASED. ATTORNEY KILBRIDE CAME FORWARD AGAIN AND ASKED PLANNER REVER IF, IN HIS STUDY, HE FELT THERE IS SUFFICIENT POPULATION TO SUPPORT A SHOPPING CENTER AT THIS SITE. e PLANNER REVER STATED THAT HE COULD NOT ANSWER AS HE WAS NOT SURE OF THE CRITERIA AS TO WHAT IS ENOUGH; ALSO WAS NOT SURE IT WAS A VALID QUESTION AT THIS TIME UNLESS THEY COULD ESTABLISH ALL THE OTHER CRITERIA TO COME UP WITH AN ANSWER. THE PLANNER ADDED, FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW, THE IN-PLACE POPULATION IN THAT AREA COULD SUPPORT THE SHOPPING AREA. 21 ,DUN 4 Boor : 4� 1980 rp"- -7 JUN 4199p BOOK "' 41 PAGE 624 ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED IT WOULD BE MOST BENEFICIAL IF THE ZONING MAPS, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND THE LAND USE MAP WERE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME FOR REFERENCE. HE CONTINUED THAT IN READING THE MINUTES AND HEARI'NG ALL THE PRESENTATIONS, HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT GRANTING AN APPROVAL FOR A SIGNIFICANTLY LARGE PIECE OF COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WITHOUT A RECOMMENDATION OF HOW MUCH COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY WILL BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE ROAD CHANGES AT THAT INTERSECTION AND WITH OTHER VACANT LAND IN THE AREA. HE CONTINUED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A DECISION BASED UPON SOME TYPE OF EVALUATION OF THAT AREA. COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT HE IS NOT PARTICULARLY OPPOSED TO COMMERCIAL AT THAT -INTERSECTION NOW OR IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE, THE BOARD JUST DOES NOT HAVE A COMPLETE STUDY OF THE ENTIRE AREA. COMMISSIONER Loy STATED THAT KINGS HIGHWAY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF THE COUNTY'S MAJOR INTERSECTIONS, AND IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO DEVELOP A PIECE OF PROPERTY. SHE ADDED THAT THEY MUST FIND THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR THE PROPERTY, AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME FAITH IN THE PEOPLE STANDING BEFORE THE BOARD. COMMISSIONER LOY THOUGHT ADDITIONAL COMMERCIAL AREAS WERE NEEDED AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SET THE TONE FOR DEVELOPMENT FOR THAT ENTIRE INTERSECTION. SHE CONTINUED THAT TRAFFIC LIGHTS HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR THAT INTERSECTION, AND WOULD SUGGEST THAT IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BE A PROPER SHOPPING CENTER, THE APPLICANT MUST HAVE ENOUGH FOOTAGE TO CREATE A BUFFER ZONE , AND LEND ITSELF TO A NICE DEVELOPMENT. COMMISSIONER DEESON COMMENTED THAT IN WATCHING THE COUNTY GROW, THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION IS A MAJOR ONE; THE CITRUS LINE IS FURTHER WEST; AND HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE TONE SET BY SOMEONE OF MR. BAILEYS REPUTATION. COMMISSIONER LYONS ADVISED THE BOARD THAT HE AND MR. BAILEY HAD WORKED TOGETHER IN THE PAST AND KNEW HOW HE FELT ABOUT THINGS OF THIS SORT; MR. BAILEY MEANS WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY AS HE SAID HE WOULD. HIS OPINION IS THAT HE SEES THIS DEVELOPMENT AS FURTHER PRESSURE ON AGRICULTURAL LANDS TO THE WEST. COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT GROWTH IS INEVITABLE, AND AT THIS TIME, HE IS NOT SURE THAT IT IS INEVITABLE TO USE AGRICULTURAL LANDS. HE STATED THERE IS PROPERTY EAST OF KINGS HIGHWAY THAT IS OPEN FOR DEVELOPMENT - HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE PRESSURE MOVE TO THE WEST. COMMISSIONER LYONS FOUND THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE IN RESIDENCES IN THAT AREA AND A DEVELOP- MENT OF THAT CORNER IS NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED, AND ON THAT BASIS, HE WOULD CONSIDER IT UNTIMELY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AND THE PLAN OF THIS INTERSECTION HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR MANY YEARS AS COMMERCIAL. HE ADDED THAT THEY HAVE A STAFF REPORT SUPPORTING THIS, AND THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAKE IT APPARENT TO HIM THAT IT IS NOT WHETHER OR NOT IT SHOULD BE COMMERCIAL, BUT HOW MUCH. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT BELIEVE ANY INSTITUTION WOULD PUT THEIR MONEY INTO A SHOPPING CENTER THAT WOULD NOT SUPPORT IT, AND DID NOT THINK IT WAS SUFFICIENT TO SAY SOMEONE DOESN'T BELIEVE A PIECE OF PROPERTY CANNOT BE REPLANTED IN AGRICULTURE. HE NOTED THAT PEOPLE WHO LIVE WITH AGRICULTURE ON A DAILY BASIS KNOW THE PROBLEMS OF DEVELOPING LAND FOR AGRICULTURE PURPOSES, AND THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY WOULD HAVE TO BE REDEVELOPED. CHAIRMAN SEIBERT SAID THE SITE PLAN WILL FOLLOW - AND WATER AND SEWER, AND THE DEVELOPER WILL HAVE TO MEET THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS. HE ADDED THAT IN REGARD TO REPLANTING A GROVE, THE WELLS HAVE MORE OF A CHANCE OF BEING POISONED THAN HAVING A SHOPPING CENTER WITH A TREATMENT PLANT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THE SHOPPING CENTER WILL SERVE THOSE PEOPLE TRAVELING NORTH AND SOUTH AS WELL, SINCE IT IS A MUCH BETTER ROUTE TO THE WESTERN PART OF INDIAN''RmIVER COUNTY THAN USING U.S. #1 AND THEREFORE, HE WOULD SUPPORT THE REZONING. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER DEESON, THAT THE BOARD ADOPT ORDINANCE N0. 80-27 APPROVING THE CHANGE FROM AGRICULTURAL TO COMMERCIAL FOR THE WEST 620' OF TRACT 5 AND LIMIT IT TO THE SOUTH 1250' OF TRACT 5, IT BEING THE HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN HAVING 23 JUN 41980 JUN 4 1900 BOOK 4 PAGE 626 SET THIS INTERSECTION AS COMMERCIAL MANY YEARS AGO; THIS CORNER WILL SET THE TONE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THAT AREA; AND IT DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE CITRUS LINE AS EVIDENCED IN OUR MASTER PLAN. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND PASSED WITH C0A 41SSIONERS WODTKE AND LYONS VOTING IN OPPOSITION.

THE BOARD NEXT CONSIDERED THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ABANDONMENT ON 2ND STREET AND 14TH AVENUE IN INDIAN RIVER HEIGHTS AS REQUESTED BY ROBERT I. GALE. SENIOR PLANNER MARSH COMMENTED THAT THE PROCEDURAL GUIDE- LINES ARE IN ORDER AND SUGGESTED THE RESOLUTION BE APPROVED AND THAT IT BE PREDICATED ON REMUNERATION. HE REVIEWED THE SITUATION BY ADVISING THE REQUEST IS FOR ABANDONMENT OF A PORTION OF THE ROAD IN INDIAN RIVER HEIGHTS AND A TRAFFIC ISLAND AS WELL; THE PROPERTY ABUTS LOTS I AND 9 AND A SMALL PORTION OF LOT S. MR. MARSH ADVISED THAT NOTIFICATION WAS SENT OUT TO PROPERTY OWNERS IN THE AREA; PUBLICATION WAS PUT IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER; AND AN APPRAISAL HAS BEEN PROVIDED. ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED THAT THE COUNTY IS NOT TRANSFERRING PROPERTY, BUT IS RELEASING ANY INTEREST THE COUNTY MAY HAVE IN THE DEDICATION; THE COUNTY IS NOT REPRESENTING HOW THE PROPERTY WILL BE TRANSFERRED OR WHAT THE EFFECT OF THE RELEASE OF THE DEDICATION WILL BE. PROPERTY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT THE COUNTY CANNOT SELL THE ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED THAT THE STATUTE ENVISONS STRAIGHT STREETS; HALF TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE OTHER HALF TO THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNER, BUT IN THIS SITUATION THERE IS A CURVE, AND THERE ARE PROPERTIES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE ADDED THE COUNTY HAS THE RIGHT TO RELEASE THE DEDICATION BUT IT IS NOT A FEE SIMPLE OWNERSHIP THAT THE COUNTY HAS; THEREFORE, HE DID NOT THINK THE COUNTY HAS THE RIGHT TO INDICATE WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THE RELEASE. UNCLEAR. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS SENIOR PLANNER MARSH STATED HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE'ATTORNEY WAS SAYING - BASICALLY, THERE IS NO LEGAL MECHANISM TO SHOW OWNERSHIP. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THE COMMISSION COULD CHARGE A DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR THE PROCEDURE BUT ADVISED AGAINST ANY COMPENSATION FOR CONVEYING A PARTICULAR TRACT OF PROPERTY TO A PARTICULAR PERSON, AS THE COUNTY CANNOT MAKE THIS REPRESENTATION. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF MOTION WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AND THE ATTORNEY ADVISED IT SHOULD BE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION THAT APPEARS IN THE AGENDA MATERIAL, SUBJECT TO PAYMENT OF A FEE FOR THE COUNTY'S ACTIONS. A 27 ; 80ox -43 ..PAGE'629 j `I J U N 41990 $® -43 PA�fMO THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY ONE PRESENT WHO WISHED TO BE HEARD. KENNETH MATUCHA, AGENT FOR ROBERT I. GALE, APPROACHED THE BOARD AND STATED THAT THE FACT THE CURVED ROAD AT THIS LOCATION HAS NOT BEEN IMPROVED MAKES IT A HANDICAP, RATHER THAN AN ASSET. HE CONTINUED THAT LOT 9 HAS NO STREET ACCESS; AND THEY WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO PAY THE FEE NECESSARY TO'RELEASE THE DEDICATION. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THE COUNTY FINDS ITSELF IN THE POSITION OF HAVING THE DEDICATION OF THAT NUISANCE AREA. HE ADDED THAT THE COUNTY IS GUIDED BY STATUTES AS TO HOW WE CAN RELEASE THIS SORT OF PROPERTY, AND THE COUNTY IS NOT IN A POSITION TO SELL THE PROPERTY IN RETURN FOR RECEIVING COMPENSATION; THE COUNTY CANNOT TELL YOU WHAT THE EFFECT OF THE RELEASE WILL BE. THE ATTORNEY ASSUMED THAT MR'. GALE WILL BENEFIT BY THE RELEASE BUT THE COUNTY IS NOT SAYI14G IT IS RELEASING THE DEDICATION FREE AND CLEAR. HE CONTINUED THAT THE COUNTY IS WILLING TO RELEASE, ACCORDING TO THE STATUTES, BUT CANNOT ASSURE WHAT FOLLOWS AFTER THAT, MR. MATUCHA COMMENTED THAT THE ATTORNEY IS TELLING HIM THAT IF A SO-CALLED TRANSFER OF PROPERTY IS MADE, THERE IS A CLOUD ON THE TITLE. THE ATTORNEY STATED THAT HE IS NOT SAYING THAT THERE WILL BE A CLOUD ON THE TITLE, HE IS SAYING THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW. THOMAS TABER, INTERESTED CITIZEN, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND COMMENTED THAT WHAT THE BOARD IS ADDRESSING IS A REAL PROBLEM. HE CONTINUED THAT THE BOARD IS BEING ASKED TO RELEASE A DEDICATION THAT THE COUNTY WILL FIND IT DID NOT PAY ANYTHING FOR ORIGINALLY. MR. TABER STATED THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO GIVE SOMETHING AWAY THAT IT DOES NOT OWN, AND ASKED THEM TO RELEASE THE DEDICATION WITHOUT REMUNERATION AT THIS POINT. HE CONTINUED THE BOARD IS ONLY RELEASING THE DEDICATION AND WHAT THEY WILL DO THEN, POSSIBLY WHEN THE DEDICATION IS MADE, IS GIVE HIM FEE SIMPLE TITLE. ATTORNEY COLLINS THOUGHT HE SAID THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE EXACT EFFECTS OF THE RELEASE WILL BE - IT MAY WELL BE THAT SOMEBODY WILL HAVE FEE SIMPLE TITLE, THE PROBLEM IS WHO. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ALONG THOSE LINES AND IT WAS NOTED THAT IT COULD BE MORE THAN ONE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD RECEIVE THE BENEFIT OF THIS RELEASE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE FELT THE BOARD HAS MADE A DETERMINATION THAT THE CURVE IS NOT GOING TO BE UTILIZED IN THE ROAD; IT IS NOT NEEDED, AND THE ONLY ACTION THE BOARD CAN TAKE IS TO DECIDE TO RELEASE THE DEDICATION. HE ADDED THAT THE QUESTION IS GOING TO BE WHO IS WILLING TO PAY THE FEE FOR THIS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED, AND OBVIOUSLY IT WILL BE THE PROPERTY OWNER OF LOT 9. COMMISSIONER WODTKE REITERATED THAT A ROAD IS NOT GOING TO BE PUT IN AS THE COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE A USE FOR IT. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. COMMISSIONER LYONS THOUGHT THAT EITHER IT IS GOING TO BE WORTH $4,000 OR IT WILL BE WORTH NOTHING. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER WODTKE TO ADOPT RESOLUTION N0. 80-53 FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY ABANDON- MENT AT 2ND STREET & 14TH AVENUE. ATTORNEY COLLINS MENTIONED THAT SUBSEQUENT TO ADVERTISING THE RESOLUTION, IT SHOULD NOT BE FORMALLY EXECUTED UNTIL_COMPENSATION IS RECEIVED. HE SUGGESTED AUTHORIZING THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN, SUBSEQUENT TO RECEIPT OF $4,000. COMMISSIONER LYONS WONDERED WHETHER THE BOARD SHOULD EXCLUDE THAT PORTION OF THE DEDICATION THAT EXISTS ON LOTS I AND 8, AS THIS PROPERTY NOW WILL GO UP INTO THOSE LOTS. ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT MR. GALEIWOULD BE ENTITLED TO A TITLE TO THAT PART OF THE DEDICATION THAT ABUTS HIS PROPERTY, AND THE OTHER PROPERTY OWNERS WILL BENEFIT BY THE ACTION. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THERE CAN BE NO GUARANTEE, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED THAT IT WAS TRUE. MR. MATUCHA NOTED THAT MR. GALE OWNS LOTS S AND 9, MR. CUDNEY.OWNS LOT 1, AND THE $4,000 WOULD INVOLVE PROPERTY THAT ABUTS ON ALL THREE LOTS. 29 oQ F '6,4 JUN 4190 � r Boos 43 M U ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THE ONLY THING THAT THE COUNTY IS REPRESENTING TO HIM IS THAT THE BOARD'IS WILLING TO RELEASE THE DEDICATION. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT MR. GALE WILL GET FEE SIMPLE TITLE OF THAT PROPERTY. MR. MATUCHA STATED THEY DID NOT WANT TO PAY $4,000 IF THEY CANNOT USE THE LAND. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT THE $4,000 HAS NOT BEEN PAID YET WHICH WOULD GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO MR. GALE. COMMISSIONER LOY THOUGHT THIS MATTER WOULD NOT BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL THE FEE IS PAID. ATTORNEY COLLINS SUGGESTED PUTTING A TIME LIMIT ON IT AS THE STATUTE REQUIRES THAT ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING BE HELD IN ANOTHER 30 DAYS, AND THE BURDEN SHOULD BE ON MR. GALE TO GIVE THE BOARD.AN ANSWER. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ON MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LOY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT THE TERMS OF RESOLUTION NO. 80-53 ARE NOT EFFECTIVE IF THE APPLICANT DOES NOT COME BEFORE THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD WITH AN INDICATION THAT HE PLANS TO PROCEED WITH THE REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF THE DEDICATION, AND THE FEE. COMMISSIONER LOY NEXT BROUGHT UP BEFORE THE BOARD THE EMERGENCY ITEM CONCERNING THE NEW COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM FOR THE VERO BEACH AMBULANCE SQUAD. RICHARD TODD APPROACHED THE BOARD AND ADVISED THE FOLLOWING WERE IN ATTENDANCE: STUART CAMPBELL, PRESIDENT; TOM BUCHANAN, SECRETARY -TREASURER; DICK FOSTER, SQUAD CHIEF; AND PAUL WHITE, OF WHITE ELECTRIC COMPANY. HE STATED IT HAD BEEN THE INTENTION OF THE VERO BEACH AMBULANCE SQUAD TO PUT THE NEW ANTENNA ON THE LARGE TOWER IN BACK OF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AS THEY HAD UNDERSTOOD THAT THE LEASE WITH WGYL WOULD BE EXPIRED IN TIME FOR THEM TO DO S0. HOWEVER, MR. TODD REPORTED THAT AN AGREEMENT, MADE ON .JUNE 12, 1970 WITH RUDY HUBBARD FOR A PERIOD OF 20 YEARS, MEANT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE NO AVAILABILITY ON THE TOWER UNTIL 1900. HE ADDED THAT IN CONTACTING MR. STARK OF COMMUNICATIONS OF VERO BEACH, WHO INSPECTED THE EXISTING TOWER ATTACHED TO THE SHERIFF'S BUILDING, HE FOUND IT WAS IN VERY CRITICAL SHAPE AND SURPRISED THAT IT WITHSTOOD HURRICANE DAVID. MR. TODD COMMENTED THEY ARE NOW FACED WITH GETTING A REPLACEMENT TOWER FOR THEIR ANTENNA - A 155' HURRICANE -PROOF TOWER WOULD COST $6,200; AND TO DEMOLISH THE OLD TOWER, INSTALL A NEW TOWER AND THE TRANSFER OF ANTENNAS WOULD COST $1,430. HE REPORTED THAT THE RADIO EQUIPMENT IN THE SQUAD CHIEF'S CAR AND FOR THE FOUR ASSISTANTS WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE THE NEW COMMUNICATION IS UHF - THAT QUOTATION AMOUNTED TO $7,575. MR. TODD FELT THE AMOUNT FOR THE RADIO EQUIPMENT WAS TOO EXCESSIVE AND INSTEAD GOT A QUOTATION FOR FIVE PAGERS FOR $1,2101 WHICH THEY PLAN TO ABSORB THEMSELVES. HE NEXT TALKED ABOUT THE PRESENT GENERATOR WHICH DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY TO COVER THEIR RESERVE, AS WELL AS THE CIVIL DEFENSE AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT; THE QUOTATION FOR A 15 KILOWATT GENERATOR WITH AN AUTOMATIC SWITCH IS $7,651. MR. TODD SAID THE TOTAL AMOUNT INVOLVED IS $15,281 IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS OPERATION. SWITCH.

COMMISSIONER Loy SUGGESTED THEY GET TOGETHER WITH FINANCE DIRECTOR BARTON, AND THEY COULD POSSIBLY USE REVENUE SHARING, IF NECESSARY. ATTORNEY COLLINS SUGGESTED THEY MIGHT WANT TO TAKE IT OUT OF CONTINGENCY. HE ADDED THAT THEY COULD APPROVE THIS REQUEST AND WORRY ABOUT GETTING APPROVAL FOR THE FUNDS LATER. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT SUGGESTED THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE REQUEST'AND HAVE THE BUDGET AMENDMENT PERTAINING TO THIS ON THE CLERK'S AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

TOM MASON, CHAIRMAN OF THE AD HOC LIBRARY STUDY COMMITTEE, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD TO REVIEW THEIR PRELIMINARY REPORT, WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD IN BOOKLET FORM AND COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK. HE EXPLAINED THAT THEY DID BACKGROUND STUDIES AS TO THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION°S FUNCTION, RESEARCHED THE BOOKMOBILE OPERATION, PRESENTED STATISTICS REGARDING LIBRARY USAGE, SALARIES, LIBRARY MANAGEMENT, ETC., AND DID A COMPARISON WITH OTHER SIMILAR COUNTIES. MR. NASON INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE LIBRARY RIGHT NOW IS AT THE POINT WHERE IT IS NO LONGER ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE FOR THEM TO CONTINUE AS A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION, AND THEIR FIRST RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE THAT THE BOARD ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OPERATION OF THE LIBRARY. THIS WOULD REQUIRE DISSOLVING THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND TRANSFER OF THEIR ASSETS TO THE COUNTY FOR THEIR STEWARDSHIP. HE WENT ON TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED MAKE-UP OF A BOARD OF ADVISORS AND THE PROPOSED CHAIN OF ADMINISTRATION. SECONDLY, THEY RECOMMEND THAT A CITIZENS GROUP SUCH AS THE FRIENDS'OF THE LIBRARY SHOULD BE REACTIVATED, AND ITS MAIN FUNCTION WOULD BE FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES. MR. NASON THEN DISCUSSED RECOMMENDED PERSONNEL, WHICH THEY FELT SHOULD CONSIST OF FIVE FULL TIME EMPLOYEES AND FIVE FULL TIME EQUIVALENT POSITIONS, OR A FULL TIME EQUIVALENT STAFF OF TEN PERSONS. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THAT THE LIBRARIAN HAVE A DEGREE IN LIBRARY SCIENCE AND HAVE AT LEAST FIVE YEARS' EXPERIENCE, AND IT IS THEIR UNANIMOUS OPINION THAT THE EXISTING LIBRARIAN BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE AS HEAD LIBRARIAN AND BE ALLOWED UP TO FIVE YEARS TO COMPLETE THE REQUISITE COURSES TO OBTAIN HER MASTERS DEGREE. IN ADDITION, THEY ARE RECOMMENDING AN ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PROGRAM. MR. NASON REPORTED THAT ONE OF THE MAJOR COMPLAINTS WAS IN REGARD TO THE INCONSISTENT OPENING HOURS, AND THEY ARE, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDING THAT THE OPENING 41 a®QK 4 PAW 643 r JUN 41980 moi 43 PAF 644 HOUR BE 10:00 A.M. REGARDLESS OF THE DAY OF THE WEEK, WITH THE LIBRARY OPEN UNTIL 9:00 P.M. MONDAYS THRU THURSDAYS AND UNTIL 5:00 P.M. ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS, WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE TOTAL HOURS OF OPERATION FROM 45 HOURS PER WEEK TO 58 HOURS PER WEEK. THE BOOKMOBILE CURRENTLY IS USED ONLY TWO DAYS A WEEK, AND IT WAS FELT THAT FOUR DAYS A WEEK WITH LONGER STOPS WOULD PROVIDE BETTER SERVICE. THEY ENVISIONED THAT LOCATIONS SUCH AS'SEBASTIAN OR FELLSMERE SHOULD BE ALLOTTED A HALF DAY EACH PER WEEK AND THAT THE DRIVER SHOULD BE AUGMENTED WITH A VOLUNTEER TO HELP HANDLE THE SHUT-INS, ETC. MR. NASON NEXT REVIEWED THE LIBRARY FINANCING, NOTING THAT IT IS PRACTICALLY A MIRACLE THAT THE LIBRARY HAS BEEN ABLE TO OPERATE UNDER THE FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE FOR ITS OPERATION. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE 1980-81 BUDGET SUBMISSION OF THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION APPEARS TO BE DEDICATED ONLY TO THE SURVIVAL OF THIS NEEDED SERVICE - THERE IS NO RESERVE FOR DEPRECIATION OR PROVISION FOR CAPITAL MAINTENANCE ON THE PHYSICAL PLANT; NO PROVISION FOR FRINGE BENEFITS, I.E., INSURANCE, RETIREMENT, ETC., FOR LIBRARY EMPLOYEES; AND THE NORMAL REPLACEMENT AND ADDITION OF BOOKS, ETC., HAS BEEN LIMITED FOR BUDGETARY REASONS. MR. NASON STATED THAT THEY HAVE PRE- PARED ADDITIONS TO THE PROPOSED BUDGET, INCLUDING AN ESTIMATE OF THE FRINGE BENEFITS COSTS, AN ADDED POSITION OF ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN, AND A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND, WHICH RESULTS IN A TOTAL BUDGET OF $182,352 WITH AN ANTICIPATED COUNTY CONTRIBUTION OF $143,972. THIS LEVEL OF FUNDING, HE FELT, WOULD PERPETUATE THE HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICE DEMANDED BY THE PUBLIC AND WOULD ENABLE LIBRARY EMPLOYEES TO CONSIDER THE OPERATION OF THE LIBRARY A VIABLE CAREER. MR. NASON NEXT DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF A BRANCH LIBRARY IN THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, BUT BELIEVED A MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF THE BOOKMOBILE WOULD ALLOW THE BUILDING OF SUCH A FACILITY TO BE PUT OFF A FEW YEARS LONGER. HE NOTED THAT WE MUST DEAL WITH THE PRESENT SITUATION BEFORE WE CAN THINK OF EXPANDING. MR. MASON CONCLUDED BY EMPHASIZING THAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT THE COUNTY CONSIDER ASSUMING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR 42 �J THE LIBRARY AND FURTHER RECOMMENDS THAT A SECOND COMMITTEE BE ESTABLISHED WHEREIN PERSONS FROM THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, REPRESENTA- TIVES FROM THE COUNTY COMMISSION,AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE ORIGINAL COMMITTEE PARTICIPATE, AT WHICH TIME ALL DETAILS CAN BE REFINED PRIOR TO ASSUMPTION BY THE COUNTY. COMMISSIONER LYONS THANKED THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR FINE WORK. HE NOTED THAT THE FINAL REPORT WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR THE SECOND MEETING IN JUNE, AND IT SEEMS WE ARE ONE MEETING BEHIND OUR ORIGINAL GOAL. HE WONDERED IF THE COMMISSION WOULD CONSIDER GIVING MR. MASON THEIR COMMENTS, WRITTEN OR VERBAL, IN ORDER THAT THE COMMITTEE MIGHT SPEND THE NEXT TWO TO FOUR WEEKS IN GETTING THE BOARDS QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND INCORPORATED IN THE FINAL REPORT. IT WAS GENERALLY AGREED THIS WAS A GOOD SUGGESTION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THAT THE STUDY COMMITTEE SHOULD CONTINUE, BUT NOTED THAT THE STUDY COMMITTEE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE BUDGETARY REQUIREMENTS OF THE BOARD, AND THIS WILL HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT CLOSELY AT BUDGET TIME TO SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH THIS MUCH MONEY UNDER THE 5% CAP. HE CONTINUED THAT HE WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HEAR COMMENTS ON THIS REPORT FROM THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND THE LIBRARY BOARD. COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED THAT WE NEED FURTHER -DISSEMINATION OF THE REPORT AND ALL THE INPUT WE CAN GET. HE NOTED THAT WHILE WE STILL HAVE THEM WORKING, IT MAKES IT THAT MUCH EASIER TO PUT IT TOGETHER, AND HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE COMMITTEE GO ON FOR ANOTHER MONTH. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE IS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE DETAIL OF THE REPORT, AND HE AGREED THAT THE SECOND WEEK IN .JUNE IS UNREALISTIC FOR A FINAL REPORT. MR. NASON NOTED THAT HE WILL BE OUT OF TOWN FOR SOME TIME AND SUGGESTED THAT THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST WOULD BE A MORE REALISTIC DATE, CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGREED AND NOTED THAT IT WOULD BE HARD FOR THE BOARD TO MAKE ANY DECISION 'IN ANY.EVENT UNTIL WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BUDGET PACKAGE. 43 4a 'poq 545 r JUN 41900 ©aK 43 ..PAGE 646 COMMISSIONER LOY FELT STRONGLY THAT THIS COMMITTEE SHOULD MAKE SOME DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE PRESENT LIBRARY BOARD AND GET THEIR INPUT. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED THE AD HOC LIBRARY COMMITTEE'S PRELIMINARY REPORT FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES AND REQUESTED THAT SAID COMMITTEE CONTINUE WITH THEIR STUDY AND SPECIFICALLY CONTACT THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION OF THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND INCORPORATE THEIR COMMENTS IN THE FINAL REPORT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT AT A PREVIOUS MEETING WE ASKED SOUTHERN KELTON TO UPDATE THEIR REPORT ON CREATION OF FIRE DISTRICTS AND TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON ESTABLISHING A SOUTH INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT SERVING THE UNINCORPORATED AREA ONLY SO WE WOULD HAVE THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO US ALONG WITH THE OTHER PARTS OF -THEIR REPORT- WHICH ADDRESSED A CONSOLIDATED DISTRICT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT THIS REPORT WAS COMPLETED YESTERDAY, AND HE BELIEVED THAT MR. KELTON HAS DELIVERED A COPY OF IT TO MR. LITTLE'S OFFICE. BASICALLY, THIS IS BEING PRESENTED AS AN INFORMATION TYPE OF ITEM TODAY, RICHARD KELTON, PRESIDENT OF SOUTHERN-KELTON OF DELAND,CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AND REVIEWED IN DETAIL THEIR REPORT OF JUNE 41 19801 WHICH SETS OUT VARIOUS ALTERNATIVES AND MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS, AS FOLLOWS: 5 LOCAL GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE AND SERVICES SUITE 24 0 107 W.

Special Taxing District for unincorporated and incorporated areas A. Special District includes both Vero Beach and Indian River Shores - no change in service B. Special District with Vero Beach only with additional stations. The initial assignment presented to SKA was determination of the feasibility of option I -B, and the possibility of implementing fire service and protection under this option, by October 1,.1980. This assignment has been expanded, somewhat, by the recent initiatives of the City of Vero Beach along the lines of option II -B. Option I -A Under Option I -A, the County would create an MSTU for the South County and North Beach areas, which would be utilized to continue the present practice of making payments to the City of Vero Beach and Town of Indian River Shores. Based upon past County Commission policies, we estimate -total contract payments at approximately $445,000 for FY 1980-81, with tax collection fees, miscellaneous expenses, and contingencies bringing the net revenue requirement to approximately $485,000. Based upon an estimated assessed valuation for the MSTU of $400 million, the millage requirement for FY 1980-81 would be approximately 1.3 mills. It should be noted, Option I -A is the minimum action required'of the County Commission to continue funding of fire protection in the south county areas, without Page 2 of 10 "' +t....,�s J... ,_, r^ IY rk• w���+y'•x,a 9., ��r�awx'.G,•'riwa`�y,ri,'� <,�� �'Y :..�a:r., ''+',N;ee� "`xvn 1 taxing residents or properties in either the municipal- ities or the North County Fire District for South County, unincorporated area service. It should also be noted, this option provides no changes in the present level of service, nor in the maiagement of the fire protection delivery systema. Option I -B Under Option I -B, as in I -A, the County would create an MSTU for the South County and North Beach areas. Unlike Option I -A, however, the County would utilize ,funds generated by the MSTU to begin development of a County operated Fire De=partment for the included areas. Should the County pursue this option, initial entry would require a minimum of two fire stations, with appropriate equipment and staff. These stations should be located as follows: 1. Oslo Road near US-1/Dixie 2. North US -1 (Gifford) .The County presently owns, and we have looked at, several parcels in each area which would provide suitable station notation sites. With initial service entry by the County limited to two stations, it will be necessary to continue or negotiate contracts with Vero Beach and Indian River Shores for first response service to specific portions of the unin- corporated area, such as: North Beach, South beach including the Moorings, aid the west SR 60 area to I-95. ;Anticipated financial requirements, under this option, might be as follows: Operations 1 Fire Chief 1 Secretary 6 Fire Lieutenants 13 Firefighters with fringe benefits $325,000 Supplies and Services 35,030 Contracts 75,000 Contingencies and Tax Collection Total Operating Page 3 of 10 Jut4 19 80 40,000 $470,003 649 JUN 41900 1 _ ...-....._...�..- .._...... ^.� , y •�*�+aiw..,s..r.wa.'C'...>t-�=. sem° . �.2a.: �. ..r .. � F" .. �.

The "relocatable" station concept would also facilitate more rapid county entry into fire service delivery, reducing both lead-time and construction time for station installation.

They can be used for comparison of alternatives, but should not be taken .as representing actual anticipated costs. Our discussions with City of Vero Beach officials have addressed only the willing- ness of the -City of provide contractual services to the County, not the cost of those services. The actual cost of contractual servicewouldbe subject to negotiations with the City once more specific service objectives have been established. SKA believes it is possible for Indian River County to initiate County fire service on or about October 1, 1980, under the following guidelines: 1. Provide initial service utilizing two station concept, with contracts with Vero Beach and Indian River Shores for remote areas. 2. Amend existing County MSTU for Fire to create. South County Municipal Fire Service Taxing Unit. Page 6 of 10 3. Pursue relocatable station concept, utilizirn;; readily available components which could be moved to other sites (west SR 69) once construction of permanent stations is accomplished. 4. Immediately pursue fire apparatus acquisition, reviewing both available new and used equipment which could be obtained on short delivery time. 5. Immediately establish job classifications, job specifications, and pay scales necessary for fire positions, and begin recruitment process for Fire Chief and Fire Lieutenants; with firefighter recruitment to begin soon thereafter. 6. With creation of the MSTU for South County Fire. S6rvice,.authorize tax anticipation note or internal loan, so that equipment and supply acquisi- tion process ca:z begin, as well as .station installation. Page 7 of 10 43. .

As one result of the County --Commission's authorizing SKA to prepare this review, the City of Vero Beach has begun preparation of a proposal which would create a South County Fire Taxing District. The "Preliminary Staff Report" was presented to the City Council on Tuesday, May 20, 1980. The final report is now scheduled for presentation to the Council on Tuesday, June 17, 1980. We have obtained and reviewed the "Preliminary Staff Report" and believe it represents a major step forward. However, there are a number of areas where specific details would need to be resolved prior to initiating implementation activities. Since the report will not be finalized for almost two weeks, and must then meet with City Council approval, any in-depth review at this time would be premature. We do, however, believe the apparent present direction of the City may lay the groundwork for a consolidated South Indian River County Fire District. At this time, we must point out the extremely tight time schedule facing the County. If the County is to be in a position to provide fire protection by October 1, 1980, Page 8 of 10 s. s�� � - -• :�- ��'me��Y"'.w x+... ,�`�i1.-�w�d:�}4�-. %::r-+,, =;n �e.,.. n--s.,�a Tsr �;� ..-.a,.n - - we believe that decision must be made no later than the first week of July. Accordingly, we recommend the County Connnission proceed as follows: 1. Request Co:xnty Attorney to prepare necessary ordinance/resolution to create the South Indiaa River County Municipal Fire Service Unit and present at next meeting. 2. Request County Attorney to begin preparation of ordinance creating South Indian River County Fire - District, including Vero Beach. 3, Authorize SKA to continue pursuit of MSTU implementation, including prep- aration of bid specification for equipment, review of available used equipment, site review, specification preparation .for stations in conjunc- tion -with the County's engineers.

Should any additional information be desired, please advise. Very truly yours, Richard M. Kelton President _ I"e 10 of 10 MR. KELTON EMPHASIZED THE TIGHT TIME SCHEDULE AND THE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION NO LATER THAN .JULY IST. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT QUESTIONED CITY FINANCE DIRECTOR TOM MASON AS TO WHETHER THE FINAL REPORT WILL BE GOTTEN TO CITY COUNCIL IN ENOUGH TIME TO BE ON THE AGENDA OF THE .JUNE 27TH MEETING, AND MR. NASON STATED THAT HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE•READY THE FRIDAY BEFORE THE MEETING. COMMISSIONER LYONS INQUIRED WHETHER -THE AMENDED FINAL REPORT IS MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE INITIAL PROPOSAL MADE BY THE CITY. MR. NASON STATED THAT IT WAS NOT. HE CONTINUED THAT THERE ARE THREE MAJOR ELEMENTS THE CITY WISHES HIM TO LOOK AT. THEY FELT THE MOORINGS STATION SHOULD ULTIMATELY COME INTO BEING, AND THEY WISH HIM TO GO OVER THE IDEAS REGARDING THE FINANCES, WHICH HE HAS BEEN EXPLORING. THE ONLY OTHER THING WAS TO LOOK AT THE AIRPORT OPERATION AND SUM IT UP ON THE FINAL REPORT. MR. NASON BELIEVED THAT THE CITY WOULD PREFER TO GO CONSOLIDATED, AND THEY NEED A HORIZON FOR FINANCIAL PURPOSES TO PREDICATE FINANCING ON - THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A TEN YEAR HORIZON IN MIND. MR. NASON STATED THAT HE AGREED WITH THE NORTH AND SOUTH STATIONS, AND HE IS RECOMMENDING THE MOORINGS STATION, BUT IT IS PURE CONJECTURE ON HIS PART RENOVATION IS NEEDED AT THE BEACH STATION. THE LAST AREA HE WAS ASKED TO -LOOK AT WAS -THE ITEMS THAT SHOULD GO INTO A MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT. HE NOTED THAT WE HAVE SUCH AN AGREEMENT RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WOULD BE THE OPTIMUM. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE A CON- SOLIDATED FIRE DISTRICT, IT WOULD BE BETTER IN THE LONG RUN. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT WHAT WE DO WITH OUR REPORT a WILL BE PREDICATED PARTIALLY ON THE CITY'S REPORT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THAT HAVING THE COUNTY SET UP THEIR OWN DISTRICT FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA SHOULD BE A LAST RESORT, BUT IF WE ARE GOING TO CONSIDER IT AS AN ALTERNATIVE, WE HAVE GOT TO REALIZE THAT A DECISION MUST BE MADE NO LATER THAN JULY 1ST, AND WE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING IF NECESSARY. 55 BOOK 43-' pxE 65.`? JUN 41980 Boos 'PAc5$ COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED THAT THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, AND COMMISSIONER L.OY FELT WE SHOULD AIM TOWARDS A .JUNE 25TH MEETING DATE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE COMMENTED THAT SOUTHERN—KELTON HAS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS A CRITIQUE OF THE CITY'S FINAL REPORT, AND HE FELT THIS MUST BE DONE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS TO.BE DONE BEFORE IT GOES TO THE CITY COUNCIL. HE DOUBTED THEY ARE GOING TO SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE THEIR REPORT. ' COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED THAT THIS REPORT MUST BE CRITIQUED SO WE CAN KEEP ON MOVING SINCE, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, WE ARE GOING TO GET INTO THE FIRE BUSINESS AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE. MR. KELTON STATED THAT THE AREAS WHICH CAUSED HIM SOME CON— CERN IN THE CITY'S STAFF REPORT FALL INTO THREE CATEGORIES. ONE IS THE CAPITAL RECOMMENDATIONS WHERE THE BEACH STATION AND DOWNTOWN STATION STATION'WOULD BE REPLACED ALONG WITH CONSTRUCTION OF TWO STATIONS ALL IN ONE YEAR.- THE SECOND AREA IS THE PROPOSED MANAGEMENT OF THE DISTRICT. HE FELT THE CITY HAS INDICATED THAT IT IS SOMEWHAT OPEN TO NEGOTIATIONS, AND FROM OUR STANDPOINT, HE WOULD HOPE THAT THEY ARE. THE THIRD QUESTION WOULD BE WHETHER THE COUNTY WOULD GO WITH AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT OR WITH A FULLY CONSOLIDATED DISTRICT. MR. KELTON RECOMMENDED THAT WE PURSUE A CONSOLIDATED DISTRICT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT BELIEVE THOSE ARE MAJOR STUMBLING BLOCKS, BUT STATED THAT THEY WERE EXACTLY THE POINTS WITH WHICH HE ALSO WAS CONCERNED. HE STILL FELT THERE ARE MANY ADVANTAGES TO A CONSOLIDATED SYSTEM AND THAT WE SHOULD MAKE EVERY ATTEMPT POSSIBLE TO BRING IT ABOUT. COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT THE CITY IS TRYING TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING AND IS WILLING TO GET TOGETHER, AND HE FELT THE MORE WE SPEAK OUT LOUD ABOUT OUR RESERVATIONS, THE BETTER CHANCE THERE IS TO BRING THIS TO A HEAD AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE. MR. KELTON STATED THAT IF IT SUITED THE BOARD, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MEET WITH THE CITY AND WORK WITH THEM AND EXCHANGE INFORMATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE BOARDS ATTORNEY OR WHOMEVER THE BOARD WISHED.TO DESIGNATE. 56 CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT THE BOARD HAD NO OBJECTION. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF THE BOARD WISHED TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE BY SOUTHERN-KELTON, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THAT MIGHT BE PREMATURE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THEM PROCEEDING WITH PREPARING SPECIFICATIONS FOR BIDDING, ETC., IN THE EVENT WE HAVE TO PROCEED WITH OUR OWN DISTRICT, MR. KELTON FELT THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THEY CAN KEEP WORKING ON IN TERMS OF GATHERING INFORMATION, BUT THE ONE AREA WHERE HE WOULD RECOMMEND THE BOARD TAKE SOME ACTION IS IN PREPARING AN ORDINANCE CREATING A CONSOLIDATED DISTRICT. THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE ON THE BALLOT FOR THE FIRST PRIMARY IN OCTOBER. ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THAT WE NEED TO GET THAT POINT RESOLVED WITH THE CITY FIRST. IT WAS NOTED THAT IT REQUIRES ABOUT 30 DAYS LEAD TIME TO GET SOMETHING ON THE BALLOT. MR. KELTON INQUIRED WHEN THE CITY'S DRAFT OF THE FINAL REPORT COULD BE READY SO THEY COULD CRITIQUE IT. MR. MASON STATED THAT HE WOULD TRY TO GET IT TO THEM A DAY OR TWO EARLY, IF POSSIBLE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT HE WOULD CONTACT CITY MANAGER LITTLE AND OFFER TO MEET WITH HIM ALONG WITH MR. KELTON AND GO OVER THE REPORT THAT WE HAVE JUST REVIEWED -1 THE BOARD AGREED THAT WE MUST KEEP THIS MATTER MOVING AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE AND ENCOURAGE ESTABLISHING CONTACT BETWEEN SOUTHERN- KELTON AND THE CITY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT REITERATED THAT HE WANTED TO SEE CONSOLI- DATED SERVICE FOR THE SOUTH COUNTY IF THERE IS ANY WAY POSSIBLE, AND MR. KELTON FELT THAT THE CITY"S REPORT IS A MAJOR STRIDE FROM WHERE 0 WE WERE A YEAR AGO. INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS INTRODUCED EDWARD LYONS, JR., AND BILLY DOBBS OF SMITH BARNEY, HARRIS UPHAM & CO., WHO WISH TO MAKE A PROPOSAL IN REGARD TO THE ISSUANCE OF $5,825,840 OF BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES (BADS) FOR INTERIM FINANCING FOR THE SOUTH COUNTY WATER DISTRICT IMPROVEMENTS. 57 t. 1 43 PAGE 659 . ;. r r. �.... ♦ e YV 660 ` BOQJ� . �� A MR. DOBBS GAVE A PRESENTATION ON THE BACKGROUND OF SMITH BARNEY, HARRIS UPHAM & CO., NOTING THAT THEY ARE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE MEMBERS, THEY ARE BASED IN NEW YORK CITY, AND HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS 107 YEARS. THEY HAVE CAPITAL OF AROUND 80 MILLION DOLLARS AND HAVE SI OFFICES IN THE UNITED STATES, TEN OF WHICH ARE IN FLORIDA. MR. DOBBS CONTINUED THAT THEY PARTICIPATED IN 1979 IN OVER HALF OF THE MUNICIPAL BOND ISSUES IN THE UNITED STATES AND THEY HAVE DONE THE TAMPA AIRPORT AUTHORITY, THE GREATER ORLANDO AIRPORT AUTHORITY, THE JACKSONVILLE EXPRESSWAY AUTHORITY, ETC. MR. DOBBS STATED THAT HE AND MR. LYONS ARE LOCATED IN THE ATLANTA OFFICE AND JOINED WITH THIS FIRM WHEN THEY MERGED WITH W. DOBBS & CO. THEY HAVE ISSUED TAX FREE BONDS IN CONJUNCTION WITH HUD AND HAVE ACTED AS FINANCIAL ADVISORS TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA. EDWARD LYONS THEN TOOK THE FLOOR AND STATED THAT ONE OF FMHA'S REQUIREMENTS IS THAT THE COUNTY OBTAIN THEIR INTERIM FINANCING. HE NOTED THAT NORMALLY YOU WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT A CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION LOAN, BUT THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES AND CONDITIONS IN THE MARKET HAVE MADE CONVENTIONAL FINANCING IN THE CONSTRUCTION MARKET DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. MR. LYONS WENT ON TO REVIEW THE PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL WHICH SMITH BARNEY SUBMITTED IN LATE MARCH ON THE ISSUANCE OF BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES FOR INTERIM FINANCING, AND REVISED FIGURES REFLECTING FIXED INCOME MARKET RATES, WHICH ARE AS FOLLOWS: SMITH BARNEY, HARRIS UPHAM & CO. INCORPORATED 2700 PEACHTREE HARRIS TOWER 233 PEACHTREE STREET, N. E. ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303 (404) 588.3000 June 3, 1980 Mr. Willard -W.

Present at that meeting on behalf of the County were the following: 1. Mr. Jack Jennings 2. Mr. Jeff Barton 3. Mr. Neil Nelson 4. Mr. Ralph Eng - - A copy of that preliminary proposal is enclosed herewith for each of the commissioners as it is illustrative of the basic format and assumptions. Also enclosed, are revised figures which reflect fixed income market rates as of June 3, 1980. EGLjr/sg Enclosures /Pe C '0 C'v, Corm rr> - Sinc el , Edward G. -54 / 9 8 0 , M soon 43 PasE6.

Funded Upon Sub- stantial comple- tion MR. LYONS EXPLAINED THAT VERY SIMPLY WHAT THEY HAVE PROPOSED TO DO IS TO REISSUE BANS UP FRONT AND INVEST THE PROCEEDS IN GOVERNMENT OR GOVERNMENT COLLATERALIZED SECURITIES IN SYNCHRONIZATION WITH THE COUNTY'S CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE, RATHER THAN TAKING THE CON— VENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION LOAN APPROACH, HE CONTINUED THAT --THE NET INTEREST COST, BASED ON WHAT THE COST WOULD HAVE BEEN TO ISSUE THE BANS VERSUS THE PROCEEDS ON THE INVESTED CAPITAL FOR THE VARYING PERIOD OF TIME IT WAS INVESTED, WOULD RESULT IN A NET CONSTRUCTION INTEREST EXPENSE OF $4,618 VERSUS IN TODAY'S MARKET $247,286 FOR THE INTERIM FINANCING. MR. LYONS COMMENTED THAT THERE IS NO MAGIC IN THIS; IT IS A FUNCTION OF THE. -FIXED INCOME MARKET AS THAT EXISTS TODAY, AND AT ANOTHER POINT IN TIME, IT WOULD BE MORE LOGICAL TO TAKE THE CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION FINANCING APPROACH. MR. LYONS CONTINUED TO REVIEW THEIR PROPOSAL, EMPHASIZING THAT, AS STATED ON THEIR COVER LETTER, THE FIGURES INCLUDED THEREIN ARE FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY AND ARE NOT A FIRM OFFER. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO THE FIGURES THEY ARE EMPLOYING TODAY. MR.' LYONS 61 460K:`c PAVE kJ3 r JUN 41980 BOOK 43' PAGE 664 THEN PROCEEDED TO UPDATE SOME OF THE FIGURES SET OUT IN THEIR PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL, POINTING OUT THAT THESE FIGURES WILL ILLUSTRATE HOW MARKEDLY THE MARKET HAS CHANGED IN THE PERIOD OF TIME SINCE THEIR PROPOSAL. HE THEN ASKED THE BOARD TO CHANGE THE INTEREST RATE SHOWN ON THE BAN AS 9-1/2% To 6% AND SPECULATED THAT AS OF TODAY, IT PROBABLY IS A LOT LOWER THAN THAT. ITEM 6, WHICH SHOWED AN AVERAGE INTEREST INCOME RATE ON THE NET BAN PROCEEDS AND CAPITALIZED INTEREST OF 14%, HE REQUESTED BE CHANGED TO°8.757., AND ITEM 7, -WHICH IS AN ASSUMPTION THAT THE ISSUER WOULD HAVE TO PAY A RATE OF 10.5% FOR CONVENTIONAL INTERIM FINANCING, WAS TO BE CHANGED TO 8%. ALSO THE DATE FOR ISSUANCE OF THE BAN IN ITEM 3 SHOULD BE CHANGED FROM JUNE 1, 1980 TO AUGUST 1, 1980. ALTHOUGH THAT DATE PROBABLY WOULD NOT ALLOW ENOUGH TIME FOR THE VALIDATION AND APPEAL PERIOD, HE FELT IT WOULD SUFFICE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES. MR. LYONS STATED THE ASSUMPTIONS THEY ARE.LOOKING AT IS A RESOLUTION BY THE BOARD AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF THE BAN AND A STATEMENT FROM FMHA THAT THEY HAVE RESERVED THE MONEY AND, DEPENDING UPON COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN, THEY WILL ISSUE THE PERMANENT TAKE-OUT COMMITMENT LETTER. HE THEN COMPLIMENTED MR, ENG HIGHLY FOR HIS EXTREME COOPERATION IN ASSISTING THEM. MR. LYONS RECAPPED THAT AS OF YESTERDAY, IT LOOKED TO THEM LIKE THE CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION LOAN INTEREST AT 8%, ACCORDING TO THE CONSTRUCTION DRAW SCHEDULE THEY HAVE UTILIZED, WOULD RUN $247,286. THE NET INTEREST INCOME, OR EXPENSE, FROM THE BAN WOULD BE $4,618; SO, YOU HAVE GOT A SWING BETWEEN THE TWO OF $242,668, AND THAT IS JUST BASED ON THE INTEREST EXPENSE FOR THE BANS OVER THE LIFE OF THEM. COORDINATOR THOMAS COMMENTED THAT WHAT MR. LYONS IS SAYING IS THAT THE NET RESULT ON TODAY IS MARKET IS THAT YOU WOULD BE SHORT $4,600 - THAT'S NOT ASSUMING THAT YOU HAD BORROWED THE MONEY UNDER A STANDARD CONSTRUCTION LOAN BASIS. HE CONTINUED THAT, IF WE HAD PURSUED THIS WHEN MR. LYONS FIRST CALLED, THE INCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLY MORE. w MR. LYONS AGREED THAT THE NUMBERS THAT WERE IN EFFECT THEN LOOKED EVEN GREATER, EVEN THOUGH THE COST ON THE BANS WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY UP. HE NOTED THAT THE MARKETS ARE CHANGING SO QUICKLY TODAY THAT IT IS VERY HARD TO PREDICT. HE GUESSED THAT TODAY THE BAN COST WOULD BE CLOSE TO 5-1/2%. COORDINATOR THOMAS FELT ONE OTHER THING THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS TO WHAT EXPENSE THE COUNTY WOULD BE PUT IF THEY WENT AHEAD, AND THEN WHEN WE GOT READY TO ISSUE, FOUND THAT THE MARKET WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MR. DOBBS STATED THAT IF NO NOTES WERE ISSUED, YOU WOULD HAVE NO UNDERWRITER S EXPENSES OR BOND COUNSEL EXPENSES. YOU WOULD HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LEGAL EXPENSES WHICH YOU WOULD INCUR FOR YOUR OWN COUNSEL, BUT YOU WOULD HAVE THIS IN ANY EVENT. MR. DOBBS STATED THA'r THEY CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE SOME OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE A GREAT AMOUNT OF MONEY - PROBABLY A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED HOW DO WE KNOW WHO TO DEAL WITH TO GET THE BEST DEAL. MR. DOBBS EXPLAINED THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH A NEW COMPLICATED TYPE OF FINANCING. IF YOU WERE ISSUING JUST INDIAN RIVER COUNTY GENERAL OBLIGATIONS BONDS, HE BELIEVED -THERE WOULD-BE NO MORE THAT SMITH BARNEY COULD DO FOR THE COUNTY THAN MANY OTHER FIRMS, BUT YOU ARE LOOKING AT A VERY COMPLICATED TYPE OF FINANCING AND IT TAKES SOME INNOVATIVE KNOW-HOW. SMITH BARNEY IS ONE OUT OF ONLY THREE OR FOUR FIRMS WHO HAVE DONE THIS. HE STATED THAT WHEN YOU GO INTO THIS TYPE OF FINANCING WITH A REVENUE SOURCE SUCH AS WE HAVE HERE, IT IS NOT THE KIND OF THING WHICH LENDS ITS€LF TO A COMPETITIVE s BID SITUATION. MR, DOBBS CONTINUED THAT THEY HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS 107 YEARS; THEY ARE DOING BUSINESS ALL OVER THE STATE OF FLORIDA; AND THEY HAVE A FINE TRACK RECORD TO FALL BACK ON, HE STATED THAT HE COULD NOT SAY THAT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT NOT SAY THEY COULD DO IT CHEAPER, BUT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE THE KNOW-HOW TO DO IT. 63 JUN 4 1980 OO .43 pAtt 665 Boas 43 PA4 M, 6 MR. THOMAS NOTED THAT WE ARE NOT UNDER TREMENDOUS PRESSURE FROM OUR ENGINEERS TO MOVE TOMORROW, AND HE WOULD RECOMMEND SMITH BARNEY GIVE THE COMMISSIONERS A FEW WEEKS TO DIGEST THIS INFORMATION AND ALSO TO SEE WHAT THE MARKET DOES. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THE DECISION IS MADE TO CONTINUE ON WITH SMITH BARNEY, WE BORROW 5 MILLION PLUS DOLLARS,AND SMITH BARNEY IS THE PURCHASER, DO THEY TELL US WHAT INTEREST RATES WE HAVE TO PAY AND ALSO WHAT INTEREST RATE`WE EARN OR IS IT OUR CHANCE? MR. DOBBS STATED THAT THEY WOULD GIVE THE COUNTY A GUARANTEED RATE OF REINVESTMENT AT THE TIME THEY MADE A PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR THE NOTES. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT ADDITIONAL COSTS, AND MR. LYONS STATED THAT WOULD BE LEGAL FEES, PRINTING COSTS, THE NORMAL TYPE THING. HE DID NOT FEEL THERE REALLY WERE A WHOLE LOT OF ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES'INVOLVED. MR. DOBBS STATED THAT FOR A BAN ISSUE, THIS IS A PRETTY SMALL ISSUE AND THE COST FOR PRINTING, ETC., WOULD BE MINIMAL. HE DOUBTED THE EXPENSES WOULD RUN $10,000 - MORE LIKELY HALF THAT. MR. LYONS ANTICIPATED THAT THE TOTAL SPREAD AND DISCOUNT WOULD BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 6/10 AND 1 POINT, DEPENDING ON THE MARKET. HE FELT IT WOULD SERVE THE COUNTY WELL TO GET INTO THE RESOLUTION STAGE TO AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS BECAUSE THE SOONER YOU ACT, THE HIGHER THE RATE BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR MONEY INVESTED FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. MR. THOMAS COMMENTED THAT IF WE WAIT THE 30 DAYS, THE SPREAD MIGHT BE LARGER, BUT IT COULD ALSO BE SMALLER. MR. DOBBS-STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE COMMISSION.) ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO MOVE FORWARD ON THE FINANCING, BUT DID NOT FEEL THAT NECESSARILY MEANS YOU HAVE GOT TO ISSUE IN 30 DAYS. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT BECAUSE THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT OF WORK THAT MUST GO INTO IT, AND WHILE HE DID NOT FEEL IT IS URGENT THAT THE BOARD ACT ON IT INSTANTLY, HE DID FEEL IT DOES NEED TO BE ACTED ON IN A TIMELY MANNER. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT WE ALL TRY TO PLAY GUESSING GAMES WITHTHEINTEREST RATES,,AND HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE MECHANISM TO BE ABLE TO PROCEED SO THAT IF WE GET IN A SITUATION WHERE WE NEED TO GET IT DONE, WE MAY POSSIBLY BE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. HE STATED THAT HE WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE PRESENTATION AND THE FIRM S CAPABILITIES, AND WOULD LIKE TO'SEE THE BOARD ACCEPT SMITH BARNEY TO DO THE WORK. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGREED. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN AND ATTORNEY AND STAFF TO WORK WITH SMITH BARNEY, HARRIS UPHAM & CO. WITH THE BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES FOR THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SOUTH WATER DISTRICT FACILITY PROGRAM AND OTHER RELATED ITEMS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED ABOUT THE RESOLUTION, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT WOULD BE PREPARED,HE FELT, AT THE VERY EARLIEST BY THE NEXT MEETING BECAUSE HE WANTED TO CONTACT OUR BOND COUNSEL. HE NOTED THAT FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW HE WOULD RATHER COORDINATE WITH FMHA WITH RESPECT TO THE BAN WITH THE SAME BOND COUNSEL, MR. LYONS AND MR. DOBBS AGREED. COORDINATOR THOMAS NOTED THAT IN REGARD TO THE $450,000 TAX ANTICIPATION NOTES FOR THE TEST WELLS AND -LAND PURCHASE, ALL THE BOARD HAS TO DO IS AUTHORIZE ATTORNEY COLLINS TO PREPARE AND ISSUE THEM BECAUSE THE FUNDS HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPENDED. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ATTORNEY TO PREPARE AND ISSUE THE $450,000 TAX ANTICIPATION NOTES FOR THE TEST WELLS AND LAND PURCHASE. PERSONNEL DIRECTOR DONLON INTRODUCED NICK PELLEGRINO OF COD's & ASSOCIATES, INC.,TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN, AND THE SUPERVISORS PERFORMANCE REVIEW HANDBOOK. MR, PELLEGRINO NOTED THAT THESE DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THE BOARDS REVIEW. L HE EXPLAINED THAT THEY ARE BASED ON RULES 65 $fl01(. 40" 6 r, E-667 JUN 41990 c� X00 '43 ' RAf 668 THE COUNTY HAD AND HAVE BEEN REVIEWED WITH THE DEPARTMENT HEADS. THEIR OBJECTIVE IS TO ADHERE TO ALL THE CONSIDERATIONS, LAWS AND REGULATIONS THAT EXIST IN THE FIELD OF PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION AND TO HAVE A DOCUMENT WHICH WILL GUIDE THE COUNTY IN ITS PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATION FROM HERE ON IN. MR. PELLEGRINO COMMENTED THAT MORE AND MORE THINGS ARE BECOMING LEGALISTIC — PEOPLE ARE CHALLENGING MANAGEMENT, AND HE BELIEVED WITHOUT A GOOD GUIDE, THE COUNTY COULD HAVE PROBLEMS. 14 COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THE ADMINISTRATOR IS IN AGREE— MENT WITH THE PROPOSED RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND MR. JENNINGS STATED THAT HE HAS BEEN OVER THIS WITH MR. DONLON AND STAFF AND AGREES WITH IT IN GENERAL. HE FELT IT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO HAVE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED ABOUT ITEM A 3, ON PAGE 1-1 WHICH STATES THAT AIDES TO -THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR OFFICE SHALL BE EXEMPT FROM THESE RULES. MR. PELLEGRINO EXPLAINED THAT THESE WOULD NOT BE CLERICAL OR SECRETARIAL TYPE AIDES. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF ANYONE OTHER THAN THE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN AIDE, AND MR. JENNINGS STATED NOT AT THIS TIME, BUT POSSIBLY IN THE FUTURE, CHAIRMAN SIEBERT INQUIRED ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF EXEMPTING ANYONE EXCEPT THE ADMINISTRATOR. MR. PELLEGRINO NOTED THAT YOU SOMETIMES HANDLE TOP LEVEL PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY. IT PROVIDES EASE IN SELECTION AND DISCHARGE AND TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION ANY SPECIAL TYPE OF ARRANGEMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE WITH THESE PEOPLE — SOME ARE ON A CONTRACT BASIS, HE BELIEVED THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR SHOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CHOOSE AND SELECT HIS OWN STAFF. COMMISSIONER WODTKE FELT THIS WOULD BE COVERED BY ITEM A 7 — PERSONS UNDER CONTRACT. HE NOTED THAT IF SUCH A PERSON WANTED TO RUN FOR COUNTY OFFICE, HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO RESIGN. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THERE ARE OTHER RULES COVERING THAT. :• ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS NOTED THAT AS THE COUNTY CHANGES, WE MAY SEE DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR THAN WE HAVE HAD OVER THE PAST 14 YEARS. HIS THINKING WAS THAT THIS WOULD OFFER SOME BASE FOR FUTURE BOARDS RATHER THAN THE PRESENT BOARD. DISCUSSION CONTINUED, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT THEY COULD ELIMINATE AIDES AND ASSISTANTS TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM PORTIONS OF THE HIRE AND DISCHARGE PART. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE COULD NOT PICTURE WHO WOULD FALL IN THAT CATEGORY AND HE WOULD JUST AS SOON STRIKE THAT NOTATION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE FELT IT SHOULD READ JUST THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE OUT, AND THE CHAIRMAN AGREED. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS COMMENTED THAT HE WAS LOOKING AT THIS PROVISION IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VIEW AND AT THIS POINT, IF THAT IS THE INTENT, HE WOULD SEE NO REASON WHY EVEN AN ADMINISTRATOR SHOULDNIT BE UNDER THOSE RULES AS THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN BEFORE. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT MORE AND MORE ADMINISTRATORS ARE BECOMING CONTRACTUALLY ALIGNED WITH THEIR PARTICULAR JOBS, AND THE TOP PERSON USUALLY IS EXCLUDED. AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS AGREED TO EXEMPT JUST THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND STRIKE ITEM 3 OUT ALTOGETHER. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NEXT INQUIRED ABOUT ITEM 10 ON PAGE 3-4, WHICH RELATES TO AN EMPLOYEE CAMPAIGNING FOR OFFICE, AND ASKED IF THIS IS A STANDARD TYPE CLAUSE INCLUDED IN MOST COUNTY PERSONNEL POLICY RULES. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN TESTED LEGALLY. IF A COUNTY EMPLOYEE IS CAMPAIGNING FOR A COUNTY OFFICE, YOU CAN INSIST THAT THEY RESIGN. IF IT WERE FOR ANOTHER POLITICAL BODY, THEN YOU WOULD NOT.BE ON GOOD CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE DID NOT REALLY APPROVE OF DISSEMINATION OF POLITICAL MATERIAL BY COUNTY EMPLOYEES. HE NOTED THAT THEY CAN EXPRESS THEIR OPINION, BUT ASKED IF THEY CAN PASS OUT CAMPAIGN LITERATURE WHILE THEY ARE ON THE JOB. 67 JUN 4-1980 r- JUN 4 1980�? BOOK 43 PAGE 670 MR. PELLEGRINO FELT THAT IS COVERED. THEY CAN WEAR OR DISPLAY POLITICAL BADGES, BUT IF THEY SIT AT THEIR DESK AND PASS . OUT LEAFLETS, HE BELIEVED THEY ARE ACTIVELY PURSUING THIS, AND IT WOULD BE GROUNDS FOR BRINGING CHARGES FOR POLITICAL ACTIVITY WHILE IN THE EMPLOY OF THE COUNTY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THEY MAY EXPRESS THEIR OPINION ABOUT CANDIDATES, AND MR. PELLEGRINO DID NOT FEEL YOU CAN STOP THAT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF THEY CAN DO THIS DURING WORKING HOURS, AND MR. PELLEGRINO FELT YOU COULD SPECIFY DURING OFF DUTY HOURS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT CONTINUED TO DISCUSS HANDING OUT POLITICAL MATERIAL, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT PAGE I2-2, ITEM 91 COVERS HANDING OUT MATERIALS ON COUNTY TIME. COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT MOST OF THESE RULES AND REGULA- TIONS PERTAIN TO AN EMPLOYEE DOING THEIR OWN JOB - NOT THEIR SPARE TIME. SHE FELT THAT AN EMPLOYEE CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS, BUT NOT ON COUNTY TIME. MR. PELLEGRINO POINTED OUT THAT THE RULES ONLY COVER AN EMPLOYEE WHILE ENGAGED IN HIS EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COUNTY, HE FELT THERE COULD BE RESTRICTIONS - FOR INSTANCE, A PERSON COULD BE ON THEIR LUNCH HOUR AND DECIDE TO EAT IN THE OFFICE, BUT THEY STILL CAN `T VIOLATE THE RULES AS THOUGH THEY WERE SITTING IN A RESTAURANT OR THEIR CAR. HE DID NOT FEEL YOU CAN GET TO A POINT WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO EXCLUDE EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT WE SHOULD LEAVE IT VAGUE AND INDICATE THAT EMPLOYMENT IN THE COUNTY DOES NOT PREVENT YOU FROM ENTERING THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES WHEN YOU ARE AWAY FROM WORK, AND FORGET ABOUT TRYING TO DEFINE WHAT THEY CAN DO AT WORK. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON AGREED THAT THIS MAY NEED TO BE REWORKED. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT ORIGINALLY CITIES AND COUNTIES RESTRICTED EMPLOYEES FROM ENGAGING IN ANY TYPE OF POLITICAL ACTIVITY, AND THEN SOMEBODY CHALLENGED THAT IN THE COURTS. NUMEROUS CASES CAME OUT WITH CERTAIN THINGS EMPLOYEES COULD DO WITHOUT BEING IN •r• VIOLATION OF PERFORMING THEIR DUTIES, AND THESE ARE WHAT ARE ENUMERATED. WE ARE JUST SAYING THAT THESE THINGS CAN BE DONE, AND WE CANNOT SAY ANYTHING UNLESS IT INTERFERES WITH THE INTERNAL RULES, MR. NELSON FELT IT SHOULD STATE "WITHOUT INTERFERENCE WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR JOBS." MR. PELLEGRINO COMMENTED THAT ITEMS 1-9 UNDER POLITICAL ACTIVITY COULD BE DELETED, BUT WENT ON TO SAY THAT THE SUPERVISOR NEEDS SOMETHING TO REFER TO IN MAKING A DECISION, AND HE FELT WE WANT TO GIVE THE SUPERVISOR AS MANY TOOLS AS WE CAN IN THE MANUAL. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE DID NOT WISH ANYONE TO INTERPRET THE RULES SO THAT THEY COULD CAMPAIGN WHILE WORKING. COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED ON ITEM 3.05, PAGE 3-5, WHICH STATED NO RELATIVE OF ANY EMPLOYEE OF THE COUNTY WHO HAS SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY WILL BE HIRED WITHIN THE SAME DEPARTMENT, EXCEPT AS MAY BE DETERMINED IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COUNTY. HE ASKED WHO WOULD MAKE THAT DETERMINATION, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT IT WOULD BE THE ADMINISTRATOR. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF WE NEED THAT EXCEPTION, ,AND MR. PELLEGRINO FELT THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT MAY OCCUR. HE STATED THAT THEY WERE QUOTING STATE LAW AND FELT YOU WANT AS MUCH FLEXIBILITY AS POSSIBLE SO YOU DON T PAINT YOURSELF INTO -A CORNER. --- CHAIRMAN - CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT PAGE 3-5, ITEM 3.06,DISCOURAGES BUT DOES NOT RESTRICT EMPLOYEES FROM OTHER EMPLOYMENT DURING OFF DUTY HOURS. HE ASKED IF, FOR INSTANCE, ONE OF OUR PLANNERS COULD GET A JOB AS A CONSULTANT. MR. PELLEGRINO GAVE THE EXAMPLE OF AN EMPLOYEE FOR WISHES TO DO CERTAIN JOBS FOR A CONTRACTOR OFF DUTY. HE STATED THAT AS LONG a AS THAT CONTRACTOR DOES NOT CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY AND THERE IS NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST, WE CANNOT RESTRICT THAT INDIVIDUAL, THOUGH WE CAN DISCOURAGE HIM. MR. PELLEGRINO FELT WE COULD INSIST THAT THE COUNTY IS HIS PRIMARY EMPLOYMENT AND IF WE NEED HIS SERVICES ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS, HE HAS TO BE REASONABLY AVAILABLE. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON NOTED THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. JUN 41980 69 ou 41.3`46x,871 JuN 41980 BOQK � 43 PAGE 672 CHAIRMAN SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THEY ARE USING AN EXAMPLE OF A TRADESMAN AND HE WISHED TO KNOW IF SOMEONE IN FINANCE OR PLANNING, FOR EXAMPLE, COULD GET A JOB AS A CONSULTANT. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT AS LONG AS THIS DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH THEIR JOB FOR THE COUNTY, WE CANNOT PREVENT IT. IF OVER A TIME, IT MEANT DIMINISHED ACTIVITY ON THEIR PRIMARY JOB, THEN YOU COULD TAKE ACTION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE DISCUSSED THE HOLIDAY SCHEDULE WHICH IS INCLUDED ON PAGE 5-1. HE NOTED THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A MANUAL, AND HE DID NOT FEEL IT IS NECESSARY TO PRINT IN A MANUAL WHAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO BE REVIEWED EVERY YEAR. HE FELT IT SHOULD JUST STATE THAT HOLIDAYS WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE BOARD ON A YEARLY BASIS. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THIS IS INFORMATION THAT THE EMPLOYEES WOULD WANT -TO KNOW. MR. PELLEGRINO EXPLAINED THAT PART OF HIS FIRMS JOB IS TO GET TOGETHER A LITTLE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK, WHICH WILL EXCERPT SOME OF THE MAJOR PARTS OF THESE RULES AND REGULATIONS. THIS BOOK THAT THE BOARD IS REVIEWING IS THE SUPERVISORS MANUAL; THE EMPLOYEE WILL GET EXCERPTS OF BENEFITS AND OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION. THE OTHER THINGS ARE ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT FEEL THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS NEED TO LIST THE HOLIDAYS. COMMISSIONER LYONS WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THE EMPLOYEES SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS EVEN IF THIS INFORMATION WAS GIVEN THEM ON A SEPARATE PIECE OF PAPER BECAUSE THE MORE YOU CAN GIVE THAT IS SOLID AND THE BETTER PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, THE BETTER OFF YOU ARE. HE BELIEVED THAT THE BOOK WILL NOT BE BOUND, AND PAGES COULD BE SUB- STITUTED YEARLY, THE ADMINISTRATOR FELT IT SHOULD JUST BE NOTED THAT THE HOLIDAYS ARE REVISED YEARLY BY THE BOARD. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, COMMISSIONERS LOY AND WODTKE, AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT,FELT THE HOLIDAY SCHEDULE SHOULD BE OMITTED, AND IT WAS GENERALLY AGREED TO LEAVE IT OUT. 0 � � r COMMISSIONER WODTKE NEXT DISCUSSED SECTION 6, VACATION LEAVE. HE NOTED THAT AFTER I YEAR AND UP TO 5 YEARS, AN EMPLOYEE GETS 10 DAYS VACATION LEAVE AND WISHED TO KNOW IF THAT IS TEN WORKING DAYS. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT IT IS TEN WORKING DAYS, AND COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT HOLIDAYS DON'T COUNT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT, IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WOULD GET 10 VACATION DAYS AND 10 HOLIDAYS, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT HE WOULD INSERT THE WORDS "WORKING DAYS" - UNDER VACATION LEAVE CREDIT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT IF AN EMPLOYEE SHOULD GET SICK ON VACATION AND CAN PROVE IT, IT WOULDN'T COUNT AGAINST THE VACATION LEAVE. COMMISSIONER DEESON ASKED IF THEY ARE SAYING UNDER 6.05 A -ACCRUAL, THAT A 15 -YEAR EMPLOYEE CANNOT CARRY OVER ANNUAL LEAVE, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT WAS SO; AT THAT POINT, IT IS A "USE IT OR LOSE IT" SITUATION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE BROUGHT UP MEDICAL LEAVE, PAGE 7-1, AND ASKED IF IT WAS NORMAL TO CHARGE MEDICAL LEAVE IN 1/2 HOUR MINIMUM INCREMENTS. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT IT WAS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF MEDICAL LEAVE THAN CAN BE ACCUMULATED. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SICK LEAVE THAT CAN BE ACCUMULATED AT THE PRESENT TIME IS 60 DAYS, BUT THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THERE BE NO LIMIT ON MEDICAL LEAVE. WHEN YOU PUT A LIMIT ON A MEDICAL LEAVE, THIS ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO TAKE IT AND USE IT WHEN THEY ARE COMING TO THE PERIOD WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE IT. WHEN THERE IS A NO-LIMIT`ACCUMULATION, THIS BENEFITS YOUR LONG 0 TERM PEOPLE BECAUSE AS A PERSON STAYS WITH YOU AND GETS ON IN THE ORGANIZATION AND AGE, THEY WOULD BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO USING THE SICK LEAVEIAND WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO BY LIMITING IT IS PENALIZE THE EMPLOYEE WHO DOESN'T USE IT. COMMISSIONER LOY FELT NOT LIMITING THE MEDICAL LEAVE WOULD BE A WAY OF REWARDING AN EMPLOYEE WHO DOESN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A SITUATION. 71 JUN 41980 BOOK " P��Fa JUN 41980 BOOK ', 43 PAGE -674 CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT IN THE DRAFT OF THE RULES, YOU COULD ACCUMULATE UP TO 60 DAYS AND THEN YOU COULD TRANSFER THE 60 DAYS AND GET TWO. HE ASKED WHY THIS WAS CHANGED. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT BUY -BACKS ARE VERY COSTLY, AND IF THEY ARE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF TRYING TO STOP PEOPLE FROM ABUSING SICK LEAVE, IT HAS BEEN PROVED THAT THIS DOESNIT WORK. AFTER DIS- CUSSING THIS WITH STAFF, THEY FELT THE UNLIMITED ACCUMULATION WOULD BE A BETTER BENEFIT. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT IF A PERSON HAD NOT USED ANY OF THEIR MEDICAL LEAVE AND IF THEY HAD BEEN WITH THE COUNTY FOR A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS, THEY COULD RECEIVE 120 DAYS OF PAID MEDICAL LEAVE, WHICH WOULD AMOUNT TO 24 WEEKS OR SIX MONTHS. HE FELT THIS WAS TOO MUCH ACCUMULATION OF MEDICAL TIME. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT YOU SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION A PERSON -WHO -HAS GONE TEN YEARS AND NOT MISSED A DAY OF WORK, AND THEN GOT VERY SICK OR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT SIX MONTHS WAS NOT TOO FAR OFF FROM WHAT THE BELL SYSTEM PAID. HE BELIEVED AFTER 10-15 YEARS, IT RAN UP TO 26 WEEKS, AND AFTER 20 YEARS, YOU COULD GET A YEAR. HE CONTINUED THAT THIS IS MEANT FOR SOMEBODY WHO HAS GIVEN YOU LONG SERVICE AND SUDDENLY IS FACED WITH A -CATASTROPHE; ACTUALLY, YOU HAVE ACCRUED OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME FOR THIS CONTINGENCY. HE DID NOT FEEL IT IS TOO FAR OFF INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS FELT IF YOU WILL REVIEW THE TOTAL EMPLOYMENT OF THE COUNTY FORCES, YOU WILL FIND VERY FEW PEOPLE ACCUMULATE SICK LEAVE IN THE TERMS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. HE NOTED IN THE COUNTY ROAD DEPARTMENT, IT FREQUENTLY HAPPENS THAT PEOPLE JUST DON T SHOW UP ON MONDAY MORNING AFTER A BIG WEEKEND, AND SOME USE TEN DAYS SICK LEAVE JUST AS REGULAR AS THE YEARS ROLL AROUND. HE CONTINUED THAT HE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ABLE, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, TO GO TO EACH OF THESE MEN AND SAY - "YOU DIDN`T USE BUT FIVE DAYS OF YOUR SICK LEAVE, SO HERE IS A FIVE DAY BONUS, ETC.," OR "YOU USED IT ALL, SO YOU DON T GET ANY." HE BELIEVED IN THE LONG RUN THE COUNTY WOULD BE WAY AHEAD BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE BETTER PRODUCTION, BUT HE HAS BEEN TOLD HE CANNOT LEGALLY DO THIS. MR. PELLEGRINO INFORMED HIM THAT YOU CAN PAY PEOPLE IN CASH IF THEY DON T USE SICK LEAVE, DADE COUNTY DOES THIS. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AS TO WHETHER YOU HAVE TO HAVE CHARTER GOVERNMENT TO DO THIS, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT ALL THE BOARD HAS TO DO IS MAKE THIS A POLICY AND IT CAN BE DONE RIGHT NOW. IF YOU WANT TO SET A POLICY THAT IF THEY DON'T USE SICK LEAVE, THEY ARE PAID FOR IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR, OR A PORTION OF IT - THIS CAN BE DONE, ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT HE WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL ATTORNEYS THAT THE STATE LAW SAYS YOU CANT PAY A PERSON FOR WORK THEY DID NOT D0, AND MR. PELLEGRINO FELT UNDER THAT CRITERIA, YOU COULDN°T PAY THEM FOR HOLIDAYS EITHER. HE CONTINUED THAT HALF OF THE CITIES AND COUNTIES IN FLORIDA ARE FOLLOWING THE POLICY OF PAYING PEOPLE A PORTION OF THEIR UNUSED SICK LEAVE. IT IS LEGAL. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT IF THERE IS A WAY SUCH A POLICY COULD BE INCLUDED, HE WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF IT. HE NOTED THAT UNDER OUR PRESENT SYSTEM, YOU ACTUALLY GIVE IO DAYS PAY TO SOME PEOPLE WHEN OTHERS ARE WORKING THOSE SAME 10 DAYS AND NOT GETTING ANYTHING FOR IT. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT 7.06 A COULD BE CHANGED JUST TO READ THAT EMPLOYEES WITH TEN YEARS OR MORE SERVICE SHALL BE PAID HALF OF UNUSED MEDICAL LEAVE CREDIT TO A MAXIMUM OF 240 HOURS. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE THAT CHAPTER TO BE REVIEWED BECAUSE SICK LEAVE IS ONE OF THE MOST ABUSED POLICIES THE COUNTY HAS. HE SUGGESTED`-WE.MIGHT STATE THAT THE EMPLOYEE SHALL s BE PAID FOR UNUSED MEDICAL LEAVE TIME AFTER THEY HAVE ACCUMULATED 60 DAYS SICK LEAVE. COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED THAT THIS SECTION SHOULD BE EXPLORED AND REWORKED AS JUST DISCUSSED BECAUSE WE NEED TO CREATE AN INCENTIVE SO PEOPLE DO NOT MISUSE SICK LEAVE. L- 73 MOK . 43 JUN 4 1980 am 43 '67rE G76 COMMISSIONER DEESON ASKED ABOUT CONSIDERING AN OPTION.OF EITHER ACCEPTING SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION FOR THE UNUSED PORTION OR JUST LETTING IT ACCUMULATE. MR. PELLEGRINO REVIEWED THE SUGGESTION MADE BY THE ADMINIS- TRATOR - I.E., WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL ACCUMULATES UP TO 60 DAYS, EVERY YEAR THEREAFTER THE INDIVIDUAL WILL BE COMPENSATED AT THE END OF THAT YEAR FOR THE PORTION OF SICK'LEAVE HE DOES NOT USE IN EXCESS OF THAT 60 DAYS, I.E., IF HE USED ONLY.FIVE DAYS THAT YEAR, HE WOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE FIVE UNUSED DAYS. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF HE WOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE WHOLE FIVE DAYS OR JUST HALF, AND THE ADMINISTRATOR FELT HE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE ENTIRE DAY SINCE THE ONES WHO DON'T SHOW UP GET PAID FOR THE WHOLE DAY, MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT HE WILL REWORK THIS SECTION, AND ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS AND MR. DONLON WILL WORK WITH HIM ON IT. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS THAT THE BOARD RECESS THE MEETING AT 5:00 O'CLOCK P.M. AND RECONVENE IN THE MORNING TO DEAL WITH THE REMAINING AGENDA ITEMS. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT SECTION 12.03 SHOULD BE CORRECTED TO STATE THAT THE SUPERVISOR SHALL COMPLETE A "VERBAL WARNING FORM." SHE FURTHER STATED THAT SECTION 16.07 B SHOULD SPECIFY OCTOBER IST INSTEAD OF ONE YEAR FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PROMOTIONAL PROBATIONARY PERIOD. COMMISSIONER LOY THEN COMMENTED THAT WE HAD A PROBLEM THIS YEAR WHEN A BONA FIDE HOLIDAY WAS ACTUALLY A HURRICANE AND SOME OF OUR PEOPLE WERE CALLED TO WORK. SHE FELT THIS IS HANDLED UNDER SECTION 16.11 B, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF IT. MR. PELLEGRINO NOTED THAT THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY CHANGES SUGGESTED IN THE RULES AND REGULATIONS, AND HE FELT HE CAN MAKE THEM FAIRLY RAPIDLY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGREED THAT HE SHOULD DO THIS, AND THE BOARD CAN ADOPT THEM AT THE NEXT MEETING. MR. PELLEGRINO NEXT REVIEWED THE SUPERVISOR°S PERFORMANCE REVIEW HANDBOOK. THIS IS BASICALLY A FORM THEY FEEL WOULD QUALIFY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE MERIT TYPE INCREASE THE BOARD HAD ANTICIPATED GIVING. HE STATED THAT THIS FORM CAME ABOUT BECAUSE OF THE QUARTILE SYSTEM, AND IT IS WORKABLE, ALTHOUGH HE FELT THAT PEOPLE CAN MAKE NUMBERS COME OUT ANY WAY THEY WANT THEM TO, ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON FELT THE FORM IS A BIT "BUSY," BUT WE NEED SOMETHING RIGHT NOW AND WE CAN WORK WITH IT THIS YEAR AND SEE HOW IT GOES. COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED THAT IT IS KIND OF BUSY, BUT IT DOES GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT WHEN MAKING THEIR EVALUATIONS. IN FURTHER CONVERSATIONS, IT WAS NOTED THAT THESE FORMS WILL DEPEND ON THE EFFORTS OF THE SUPERVISORS IN FILLING THEM OUT. MR. PELLEGRINO CONTINUED THAT THE LAST DOCUMENT PRESENTED IS A BASIC AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN. HE STATED THAT IT WOULD SATISFY THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE LAWS RIGHT NOW; IT IS REQUIRED; AND IT IS THE MINIMUM TO BE ACCEPTABLE. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED ANOTHER PLAN AND THIS IS AN AMENDMENT. MR. DONLON AGREED THAT IT IS TO REPLACE THAT PLAN. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED ABOUT PAGE 6, ITEM 6; -AND ASKED WHAT COLLEGE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. IT WAS FELT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE WOULD APPLY. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD ASSUME THAT WHEN WE ADOPT THIS PLAN, WE WILL BE APPROVING A NEW POSITION IN THE COUNTY - AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY COORDINATOR. MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. HE FELT IT WOULD BE A PERSON ALREADY ON THE PAYROLL, SUCH AS MR, DONLON; IT WOULD NOT BE A NEW ADMINISTRATIVE POSITION. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED RESOLUTION 80-55 APPROVING THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN DATED .JUNE, 1980, AND RESCINDING ANY OTHER PLAN ADOPTED PREVIOUSLY. 75 BOOK,. 43 `*tt 7 r - BOOK 43 PAGE 670 RESOLUTION NO. 80-55 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA That that AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN FOR THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, dated June 4, 1980, is hereby adopted and supersedes all other Plans in effect as of June 4, 1980; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That said AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN shall remain in effect until amended.

ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON REVIEWED THE BID COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS ON BID #41 - WEEDKILLER,AND BID #42 - PARTS FOR TWO TRAFFIC SIGNALS. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE BID FOR THE GIFFORD LIGHT AT NORTH GIFFORD ROAD AND U.S. #1 IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. IT HAS BEEN DECIDED NOT TO PUT THE LIGHT IN AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME, BUT WE WANT TO HAVE THE INFORMATION FOR WHEN WE ARE READY TO GO.

The six alternatives were outlined in a memorandum from Mr. Lynn E. Mueller of the Joint Venture to Mr. George Liner, County Utilities Director, dated April 1, 1980, copy attached. The costs presented in this evaluation are intended to provide the County Commission with data necessary to determine the appropriate fee(s) due the County by the Harbor Island Developers for County sewer service within the Pebble Bay sewerage area. It should be noted, the cost shown in this evaluation are based on engineering estimates which were determined by contacting various contractors who have the required experience for this type of work, evaluation of other project bids of similar scope and engineering judgement. II COST EVALUATION: Listed following in Table 1 are s -ix pump station -alterna- tives with applicable descriptions.. Also listed are the es- - timated construction costs associated with each alternative. Alternative No. 6 was used as the basis for cost determinations and the other alternative costs were adjusted up or down accordingly. Also shown with each alternative is an estimate of the pro rata share applicable to the Harbor Island Development. The formula used for determination of the pro rata share is given by: JUN Pro Rata Share = Number of Units in Harbor Island X Construction Total Units Connected to Vera Cruz Cost for each Pump Station for Each Alternative Alternative e 79 _ .. 4 80 BOOK 43?�°FAcE fib t JUK 41980 TABLE I - ALTERNATIVE COST SUMMARY FOR VERA CRUZ PUMP STATION AND PRO RATA SHARE t 682 DETERMINATION FOR HARBOR ISLAND CLUB Estimated Alternative Construction Harbor Island No. Alternative Description Cost Pro Rata Share 1.

(A JOINT VENTURE) Project No. 6765 MEMORANDUM TO: Mr. George Liner Utilities Director Indian River County, Florida FROM: Lynn E. Mueller SUBJECT: Vera Cruz Pump Station Evaluation and Alternatives DATE: April 1, 1980 This memo is intended to summarize the various pumping configurations for the Vera Cruz Pump Stat ion in reference to the Harbour Island Club. The following table lists the six (6) possible alternatives for the Vera Cruz Pump Station which will be evaluated on an economic, pro -rata share basis for the Harbour Island Club. VERA CRUZ PUMP STATION ALTERNATIVES Alternative No. Condition Effect Solution 1.

No. 6 sized wet well and Alt. No. 4 pumps. These two bid prices will enable us to determine the construction cost of all six alternatives and thereby evaluate Harbour Island Club's fair share, pro -rata cost of the Vera Cruz Pump Station. We are available to present these alternative construction costs and evaluation at the May 7, 1980 Indian River County Commission meeting. It is our recommendation that a new Vera Cruz pump station as described under the Alternate Bid be constructed initially. This would facilitate installing larger pumps and meet the required wet well size (6" dia.- 16'-3" deep) at the time the Pebble Bay Area ties into the City of Vero Beach's system. MR. ROBBINS NOTED THAT ALTERNATIVE #1 IS A KIND OF DO- NOTHING SITUATION. IT WOULD PUT THE STATION IN COMPLIANCE, BUT IT IS BORDERLINE RIGHT NOW. ALTERNATIVE #Z WOULD BE AN OVERLOAD SITUA- TION AND WOULD NOT BE GOOD ENGINEERING. ALTERNATIVE #3 WOULD BE A NEW STATION, BUT WOULD NOT INCLUDE HARBOR ISLAND. ALTERNATIVE #4 WOULD BE THE SAME AS #3 BUT WOULD INCLUDE THE FLOW FROM HARBOR ISLAND CLUB AND WOULD REQUIRE A LARGER PUMP AND DEEPENING THE WELL SLIGHTLY. THIS WOULD PUMP TO THE EXISTING TREATMENT PLANT. ALTERNATIVE #5 EVALUATES A NEW VERA CRUZ LIFT STATION SERVING PEBBLE BAY, SEA WATCH, ETC., BUT NOT HARBOR ISLAND, AND WOULD PUMP TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, AND ALTERNATIVE #6,CONSIDERS SERVING ALL THE VARIOUS STATIONS, PLUS HARBOR ISLAND, AND PUMPING TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH. MR. ROBBINS STATED THAT THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS THAT THE COUNTY PUT IN A PUMP STATION LARGE ENOUGH ULTIMATELY TO SERVICE THE ENTIRE AREA AND PUMP TO THE CITY. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A SPECIFIC TIE-IN POINT TO THE CITY SYSTEM, BUT HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT 2,000' WILL BE WITHIN A SUFFICIENT RANGE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH HARBOR ISLAND CLUB THAT WE CAN LIVE WITH. ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT ATTORNEY O'HAIRE HAS MADE AN OFFER FOR HIS CLIENTS TO PAY $36,000, OR $900.00 PER TAP -IN; WHICH IS SET OUT IN THE FOLLOWING LETTER. THE PROBLEM THE COUNTY HAS IS HAVING TO FRONT THE MONEY PRIOR TO THE HOOK-UP, BUT ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT IF WE TALK IN TERMS OF THE DOLLARS THAT MR. O'HAIRE'S CLIENT IS WILLING TO PUT UP, WE WILL MOVE A LONG WAY TOWARDS RESOLVING THIS MATTER. 83 aoa 43 PAGE 68541. JUN 41980 I Box 43' PAGE 686 MICIIAWL O'11AIIBC Am-roiammy AT L.vsv May 13, 1980 George G. Collins, Jr., Esq. Collins, Brown, Caldwell & Evans 744 Beachland Boulevard Vero Beach, FL 32960 Re: Harbour Island Club/Island East Corporation/ Pebble Bay Sewer System Dear Joe: Following our latest conversation concerning the above, I have spoken further with my clients, as you requested. Preliminary to a statement of the position my clients will take, I think I should outline the situation: (1) As you know,'my clients acquired the riverfront property within the service area of the Pebble Bay system for several hundreds of thousands of dollars in reliance on an existing County commitment. (2) My clients then released the County from a position taken with previous owners to supply sewer collection and treatment service for $15,000.00. (3) Moreover, my clients in dealing with the Planning Commission, agreed to a density of 40 units -for the parcel instead of the maximum permitted in excess of 60, and were commended for the quality of their development plan. I attach excerpts from the minutes of the Commission establishing the history of the matter. This all occurred in the summer of last year. My discussion with my clients is based on your advice to me that the engineering estimate for rework of the system to accommodate my clients and make necessary repairs to the Vera Cruz lift station would total $45,000.00. Of that figure, $9,000.00 represents an amount which would have to be spent regardless of my clients' project, leaving a figure of $36,000. to bring the system to a point where it could accommodate not only the Harbour Island project but some 40 additional living units. In an effort to compromise and settle the matter finally, on the basis of the matters I have outlined, my clients, for their project, will pay, towards the cost of the renovation of the Pebble Bay system, $900.00 per unit (40 units times $900.00 = $36,000.00). You had expressed to me a concern of actual cost exceeding the estimate and, to cover such excess, my clients will agree, again in an effort to be fair, to a maximum contribution of $1,000.00 per unit (provided that it is clearly understood by the contractor and engineers that this is a contingency excess and is not to be used simply because it is there). of my clients' contribution, $5,000.00 will be paid immediately on permitting of the first five units (2 permits have been issued and 3 applications are pending). An addi- tional $10,000.00 will be paid upon issuance of the balance of permits for the first phase, or 8 additional units, which are ready for permit application or nine months from date, which- ever first occurs. If the matter is resolved in this fashion, to avoid further delay, the Commission should instruct the Building Department to issue permits for construction, pro- vided the plans comply with the requirements of the Building Code, at the meeting on the 21st of this month. ais � The remainder of my clients' financial contribution to renovation of the system will be paid on permitting of the balance of construction and the money is actually necessary for upgrading of the system. (In our discussion, I pointed out to you that we cannot control the timing of construction to be performed under the County's auspices and your response was that timing could be controlled by my client's construction schedule --accordingly, payment of the balance on permitting.) The engineers advise me that the sole bid received for work on the system is unacceptable and you have confirmed to me that the County Commission has rejected the bid. Accordingly, rebidding will be necessary. At this point in time, so much time having elapsed, my clients' construction contracts with general contractors are in jeopardy and the work commenced must be terminated until resolution of the matter. Momentum on the project having been lost and construction forces required to terminate as of May 12, I would like this matter and our pro- posal placed on the agenda for the meeting of the Commission on May 21 before all momentum is hopelessly lost. Given the loss of a favorable construction contract, the current money market and the probable need to renegotiate financing because of delay, the owners of the property have just about reached the point where litigation is as good or better an option as continued negotiation. Unless some sort of accord can be reached on the 21st, I have been instructed to file proceedings based on the commitments already made since, by that time, so much has been lost that there is no other feasible alternative. The supervisory and construction per- sonnell being laid off next week are being instructed to report back on the week following the meeting of the 21st in hopes that their work may proceed. ly, ATTORNEY O'HAIRE NOTED THAT IT IS NOW FIVE DAYS SHORT OF A YEAR TOWARDS TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION. HE STATED THAT HIS CLIENTS ARE BUSINESSMEN AND HAVE GIVEN HIM AN ULTIMATUM, AND HE CANNOT CHANGE THE $36,000 OFFER. HE FELT THEY ARE PAYING 64% OF THE TOTAL COST, AND THAT HE HAS GONE AS FAR AS HE IS AUTHORIZED TO GO. COMMISSIONER WODTKE FELT THE TAP -IN FEE FIGURE SHOULD BE BACKED OUT OF THE $36,000 FIGURE. MR. O'HAIRE NOTED THAT THESE FIGURES WERE EVOLVED UNDER THE THEORY OF AN IMPACT FEE, AND IF THEY WERE TO PAY $36,000 PLUS TAP -IN CHARGES AS AN IMPACT FEE, THEY WOULD BE PAYING FOR THEIR IMPACT ON THE IMPACTION SOMEHOW. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT, AS HE SAW IT, THEY HAVE OFFERED SUFFICIENT MONEY TO PAY THEIR IMPACT ON THE SYSTEM. THE METHOD OF PAYMENT MAY OR MAY NOT BE A PROBLEM TO THE ENGINEERS. AS THEY BUILD, THEY PAY, AND THEY ANTICIPATE 40 TAP -INS. IT IS JUN4 190 85 BOB*—' PaGE' ) JUN 41988 BOOK 43 PAGE 688 NOT UNCUSTOMARY TO COLLECT THE MONIES THAT WAY, BUT IT IS UNUSUAL THAT YOU ARE MAKING THE IMPROVEMENTS NOW AND SPENDING THOSE DOLLARS NOW AND RECOVERING THEM OVER A PERIOD OF TWO TO TWO AND A HALF YEARS. ATTORNEY O'HAIRE FELT IT WOULD BE A LESSER PERIOD OF TIME THAN THAT SINCE TWO BUILDINGS ARE UP AND THE PROJECT IS MOVING RIGHT ALONG. HE URGED THAT THE BOARD ACCEPT HIS LETTER OF PROPOSAL TODAY SO HE COULD GET BACK TO HIS CLIENTS WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY. t CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE REALLY DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT AND BELIEVED WE ARE GETTING ALL WE NEEDED TO HAVE. ENGINEER .JOHN ROBBINS POINTED OUT THAT THE STATEMENT ON THE BOTTOM OF TABLE 1 SETS OUT THAT THE PRO RATA SHARE DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE REQUIRED WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS HAD TO BE MADE IN' ANY EVENT, --AND THIS PROJECT DOES NOT DIRECTLY IMPACT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. ENGINEERS ROBBINS AGREED THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE IMPACT. HE REITERATED THAT THE RECOMMENDATION THEY DID MAKE WOULD BE TO PUT IN A WET WELL LARGE ENOUGH ULTIMATELY TO GO TO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH ALTER- NATE #6. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED UTILITY DIRECTOR LINER WHAT EXPENSE THE COUNTY WOULD INCUR TO HOOK UP EACH UNIT, AND MR. LINER STATED THAT WE WOULD NOT INCUR ANY. THE DEVELOPER WOULD BE PUTTING IN THE GRAVITY SYSTEM AND THE LINES. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LOY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN A CONTRACT ON OUR STANDARD UTILITY CONTRACT FORM,CONSISTENT WITH THE PROPOSAL OUTLINED BY ATTORNEY O'HAIRE IN HIS LETTER OF MAY 13, 1980. ENGINEER ROBBINS NOTED THAT THE BID RECEIVED INITIALLY ON THE PUMPING STATION WAS EXCESSIVE, AND THEY HAVE SENT COPIES OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATION TO A CONTRACTOR WITH WHOM THEY HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE FOR REVIEW. HE BELIEVED IT IS THE BOARD'S INTENT TO PUT THIS PROJECT 86 OUT FOR BID AGAIN, AND HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A REVISED ENGINEERING ESTIMATE READY TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD AT THE NEXT MEETING AND POSSIBLY AT THAT TIME RECOMMEND THE ENTIRE PROJECT GO FOR REBID. HE NOTED THAT THE PLAN THEY HAVE PREPARED IS BASED ON ALTERNATE #6. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SOY, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ENGINEERS TO PROCEED, USING ALTERNATE #6 AS OUTLINED IN THE JOINT VENTURE'S MEMO OF APRIL 1, 1980. RALPH ENG, ENGINEER WITH THE JOINT VENTURE, CAME BEFORE THE BOARD TO REVIEW THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS, WHICH PRESENT A COST EVALUATION ON THE PROPOSED ALTERNATE SITES FOR THE GIFFORD SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT.

ALTERNATE #2 A 40 ACRE SITE, IS LOCATED ON L,INDSEY ROAD IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF WHERE WE WOULD COME OUT OF THE LIFT STATION. MR, ENG THEN REVIEWED THE ESTIMATED PROJECT COSTS FOR ALTERNATES I AND 2. HE NOTED THAT AN APPRAISAL WAS MADE OF ALTERNATE I/ WHICH THE COUNTY ALREADY OWNS, AND A PRICE OF $5,500 PER ACRE, OR $110,000 WAS SET. THIS IS SHOWN AS A RELATIVE FIGURE IN ORDER TO COMPARE COSTS;. THEY INCLUDED A 15% CONTINGENCY FOR INFLATION. MR. ENG NEXT DISCUSSED THE AMOUNT OF FORCE MAIN THAT WOULD NOT BE NECES- SARY WITH ALTERNATE 2 AND INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY USED FIGURES FROM THE BID TABULATION AND ADJUSTED THEM TO DETERMINE THE CONSTRUC- TION COST FOR ALTERNATE 2. HE POINTED OUT THAT THE ALTERNATE 2 SITE WILL REQUIRE FENCE, WILL NECESSITATE BUILDING AN ACCESS ROAD, AND ALSO WILL NECESSITATE MOVING THE TREATMENT PLANT FROM ONE SITE TO ANOTHER. ALL THESE FACTORS ARE INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL COST. THE ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING WORK FOR THE NEW SITE WOULD BE AROUND $18,000; YOU HAVE TO GO BACK THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCEDURE - HAVE THE SOIL ANALYSIS - MEET WITH THE DER, ETC. MR. ENG CONTINUED THAT THE CAPACITY OF THE PLANT AT EITHER SITE IS STILL 100,000 GPD. DER WILL ALLOW YOU TO DISCHARGE 50,000 GPD FOR THE FIRST YEAR: -THEN, AFTER -THE FIRST YEAR, THEY WILL ISSUE A LARGER EFFLUENT DISPOSAL PERMIT. HE STATED THAT THEY WOULD APPLY FOR THE 100,000 GPD AND LET THE DER APPLY THE RESTRICTION. THE BOARD CONTINUED TO DISCUSS COSTS, AND COMMISSIONER Loy NOTED THAT FOR $50,000 OR.SO, WE WOULD BE GETTING A.LOT MORE ROOM. ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED ABOUT TIMING, AND ENGINEER ENG STATED THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THE PERMIT APPLICATION TO THE DER WITHIN ABOUT 60 DAYS. HE FELT THE DER WOULD PUT A PRIORITY ON THE REVIEW, WHICH WOULD TAKE AT LEAST 30 DAYS. ATTORNEY COLLINS INQUIRED AS TO WHO DID THE APPRAISAL, AND MR. BEINDORF STATED THAT IT WAS FLOYD WILKES. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF WE DID DECIDE TO GO TO THE ALTERNATE SITE, IF WE WOULD RETAIN THE OTHER 20 ACRES, AND CHAIRMAN SEIBERT STATED THAT WAS NOT HIS FEELING. 93 bd 43 PAGE"01 JUN 4 1980 r X00K g X 4 3 ` 696 COMMISSIONER WODTKE WISHED TO KNOW IF WE USE FMHA FUNDS WHETHER WE WOULD BE FOREVER LOCKED INTO USING THIS SITE FOR SEWER AND WATER, ETC. HE DID NOT BELIEVE THAT IS OUR LONG RANGE PLAN AND WON- DERED WHAT SITUATION WE WOULD BE IN IF WE DECIDED TO DISPOSE OF THAT LAND OR USE IT FOR OTHER PURPOSES. HE FELT POSSIBLY WE SHOULD UTILIZE A DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCE TO PURCHASE THE LAND. MR. ENG STATED THAT PURCHASE OF THE LAND IS ELEGIBLE FOR GRANT PURPOSES, BUT AS TO THE QUESTION OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THE LAND DOWN THE ROAD, HE COULD NOT ANSWER 'THAT UNLESS HE APPROACHED FMHA, HE FELT IF THE LAND IS USED FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT, THERE WOULD BE NO QUESTION, BUT IF THE COUNTY WERE TO SELL THE LAND, THERE MIGHT BE A QUESTION. ATTORNEY COLLINS WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THE WORST CONDITION THAT WOULD EXIST WOULD BE THAT THE SALE PROCEEDS FROM THE 4O ACRES WOULD BE PUT BACK INTO THE SYSTEM, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED. COMMISSIONER WODTKE FELT WE SHOULD USE THE LOAN MONEY RATHER THAN THE GRANT MONIES, BECAUSE WE WILL BE REPAYING THE LOAN, MR. ENG NOTED THAT IF THE BOARD WISHED THEM TO CONSIDER USING THE LINDSEY ROAD SITE, PERMISSION WOULD BE NEEDED FOR THE SOIL CONSERVATION MAN TO ENTER THE LAND AND DO A SOIL SURVEY, AND WE SHOULD WRITE THE SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT REQUESTING THAT THIS SURVEY BE MADE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE CONTINUED TO DISCUSS WHETHER WE WILL USE THIS PROPERTY IN OUR LONG RANGE PROGRAM, AND FELT PERHAPS WE COULD MAKE SOME TYPE OF ARRANGEMENT FOR UTILIZATION OF THE LAND FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE TO TEN YEARS AND THEN IT COULD REVERT BACK - POSSIBLY LEASE WITH AN OPTION TO PURCHASE, COMMISSIONER LYONS POINTED OUT THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THAT LAND, IT PROBABLY WILL ALTER CONSIDERABLY DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT HE WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THE LAND CAN BE PURCHASED FOR THE APPRAISAL PRICE, BUT FELT WE CAN CONTACT THE OWNERS AND DISCUSS THE LEASE ASPECT, HE POINTED OUT THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO CONDEMN FOR THE LEASE ASPECT, AND MR. ENG WAS NOT SURE THAT FMHA MONEY CAN BE USED FOR A LEASE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGREED THAT THE APPRAISAL MIGHT BE LOW. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ATTORNEY TO MEET WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF ALTERNATE 2 SITE AND DISCUSS BOTH THE POSSIBILITY OF PURCHASE OR LEASE WITH OPTION TO PURCHASE AND ALSO TO OBTAIN PER- MISSION FOR THE SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT AGENT TO GO ON THE PROPERTY TO DO A SOIL SURVEY: INSTRUCTED THE ADMINISTRATOR TO CONTACT THE SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT IN THIS REGARD: AND AUTHORIZED THE ENGINEERS TO REVIEW THE SOIL SURVEY AND MEET WITH THE DER.

The Mayor of the City of Fellsmere Inas requested that this widening be made permanent in order to create another de - acceleration lane. This would assist the City in developing a truck by-pass. Thursday, May 29, 1980, Gene Hamilton, Road & Bridge Superin- tendent and I met with Ray Prescott, Project Cordinator, Allison Walker, Supervisor and Mr. J. E. Barrett, Resident Engineer of D.O.T. concerning this request. The following facts were established: 1. This is,a temporary structure not built to specifications. I 2. If converted, the storm sewer drainage inlet in that location would have to be moved approximately three feet requiring additional right of way. 3. Engineering adjustment for drainage would be required. 4. A change order would be required with attendant federal approval. 5. D.O.T. "Mr. J. E.

Liner, Utilities Director SUBJECT: Problem Report of South County Water System DATE: June 4, 1980 On 5/22/80 the Permutit Water Softening Unit failed in the old Mid -Florida Treatment Plant. The filter had allowed media particles to spread into the water mains and clog meters and faucets. This had to be flushed from the systema From that time we have been exclusively on Vero Beach water. The attached sheet shows the comparison of purchased water, produced water and totals starting with May 1. Previously, at meetings with Vero Beach and in discussions of the "Interlocal Agreement" we appealed to avoid the high cost of water, the penalty, and remove the moratorium as required by the presently existing agreement between Indian River County and Vero Beach. The climate of the discussions appeared to be that since we are on schedule to obtaining our new treatment system, the purpose of the penalty and moratorium as an incentive no longer applies. As d result, I forwarded a letter to the City Manager, dated 5/19/80, requesting to expedite this relief. Before they could do anything, our treatment plant failed and I sent the second letter indicating the urgency of the situation on 5/23/80. Last night, the item was on the Vero Beach agenda, but was flatly turned down. The discussion had three themes: 1. It should not have been me making this _request, but the .Board of Commissioners. 2. This request would void certain portions of the existing agreement. 3. Since the County has just recently raised the rates, the agreement charges of 80� per thousand for the first 200 thousand gallons and $1.40 per thousand for usage over 200 thousand will not be a problem! Furthermore, the County does not have the cost of water treatment. 4. If the economics were such that repair of the Permutit unit is not feasible, they will take that into consideration if we exceed 300 thousand gallons per day becuase of the emergency. Since we are on only city water, the complaints of the particles, the color and the quality have ceased. 107BOOK 4 `pcE 7 JUN 419 JUN 419 O aooK 43 PAGE 7i0 There are several alternatives open as to which way we head: 1. Repair the Permutit units again. This was done about a year ago at a cost of about $9,000.00. The result was still poor water and complaints and the eventual failure of the treatment units. At best, it is an antiquated treatment method that is no longer allowed for public water. I believe the cost of the lost media and refurbishment will be much more than it cost before. 2. Continue as we are now, but officially appealing that bulk rates averaging over double the North County bulk rates are excessive and discriminatory. I presume that rates on the order of 60 to 75 cents per thousand would probably cover the pumping costs to South County and pay the city for the added load on their treatment. This would have to be determined by the utility rate audit yet in process and have to be negotiated, retroactively. 3. We have the possibility of a Franchisee furnishing all the water the County requires on an emergency basis. We envision that this source would supply water that will reduce (or possibly avoid.completely) the water to be purchased from Vero Beach for South County. I cannot give all the details at the present time but should have further information as to how this can be accomplished in about a week. 4. Attempt to speed up the sequence for getting the new South County Water Plant installed and on line. The present failure problem emphasizes the need to get the system to avoid dependence on Vero Beach with its severe penalty. I recommend that we avoid repair of the Permutit units on such a temporary basis. Proceeding with all other alternatives together should not involve any large expense by the County but will relieve the problem the fastest way.

Box 1389 Vero Beach, FL 32960 Re: Bulk Water service from Vero Beach to Mid -Florida (South County) Service Area. Dear John: Presently we are purchasing water in the south county area on an agreement that requires a moratorium, charges us $0.80 per 1000 gallons with 100,000 gallons per day minimum, and a premium for usage between 200,000 and 300,000 gallons per day. Because the motives for the high assessment and penalty are no longer a problem (we are on schedule for implementing our own South County water source) the above had been discussed ,at meetings with the idea of eliminating these limitations. We had asked for an arrangement to remove the moratorium, be charged for water up .to 400,000 gallons a day at a rate comparable with the rate we pay at the North County -interconnect. Provisions had been put into the new joint agreement -to this effect. However, I am wondering if there is.a way we can expedite this arrangement and put it into operation in about a month. Nowhere in the discussion has there been any objection or indicated problem associated with this request. It is my intention, if this is approved, to supply water produced only from Vero Beach, I will take our Zeolite treatment unit out of service except for emergencies or at the request of Vero Beach to supplement the flow. a Having only one water supply, instead of blending, will, reduce complaints and service maintenance requirements for flushing. This usage will continue until we are able to put our own new plant into service - anticipated to be early in 1982. At that time, any allocation borrowed from North County will be returned as is provided in the new joint agreement. Your help in expediting this arrangement soon as possible would be most appreciated.

Box 1389 Vero Beach, FL 32960 Re: Bulk water service from Vero Beach to Mid -Florida (South County) service area. Dear John: Since I sent you the letter on 5/19/80 on the same subject, we have had a failure of our zeolite treatment unit which has forced us to take it out of service completely. As a result, we are now using some water purchased from Vero Beach and the balance is made up from water which is untreated except for chlorination. In our phone discussion of the possibilities open to us, I understand that it will be mid-June before you will get the results of rate studies, the response of your different depart- ments to my request, and be able to get it to the council for their review and consideration. Therefore, any purchase of water is according to the presently existing agreement. We both agreed that our demand, since it started raining should keep our usage below the 300,000 gallons per day. Therefore, we intend to use only Vero Beach produced water so that we will not be blending with untreated water. Until you can obtain council approval of the earlier requested arrange- ment I am hoping you can prevail, on an emergency basis, to avoid charging us a premium rate for usage over 100,000 and over 200,000 gallons per day. If there is anything we can do to help expedite this matter or the request of 5/19/80, please let me know.

COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE MUST AGREE, AND HE FELT THAT IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO GET A LOWER RATE UNLESS WE HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER THAT HE DID NOT KNOW OF. HE CONTINUED THAT HE WOULD GO ALONG WITH THE RECOMMENDATION IN MR. LINER'S MEMORANDUM OF .JUNE 4TH THAT WE JUST MOVE ALONG AS FAST AS WE CAN TO� GET OURSELVES OUT OF THIS SITUATION AND.NOT BOTHER WITH THE PERMUTIT UNITS. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS - SIGNER Loy, TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE UTILITY DIRECTOR IN REGARD TO THE SOUTH COUNTY WATER SYSTEM AS SET OUT IN HIS MEMORAN- DUM OF .JUNE 4, 1980. MR. LINER STATED THAT HE WILL PURSUE THE POSSIBLE ARRANGEMENT WITH THE FRANCHISEE THAT COULD SUPPLY US WITH WATER. -- COMMISSIONER LYONS QUESTIONED THE TREATMENT OF THE WATER FROM THE FRANCHISEE AND WHETHER IT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE IN THE CITY SYSTEM. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON AGREED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. TO BE ANSWERED AND FELT THIS HAD NOT BECOME AN ADVISABLE ALTERNATIVE UNTIL THIS SITUATION AROSE. HE NOTED THAT MR. LINER WOULD LIKE PERMISSION TO LOOK INTO THIS AND SEE IF IT IS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE. HE COMMENTED THAT WE ARE OPERATING IN THE RED ON THIS SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. UTILITY DIRECTOR LINER SPOKE ABOUT THE CONSIDERABLE COST WHICH WOULD BE INVOLVED IN REPAIRING THE PERMUTIT UNITS AND, IN ADDITION, INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE DER WOULD LIKE TO SEE US DO AWAY WITH THESE UNITS WHICH INVOLVE SODIUM TREATMENT AND MAY AFFECT PEOPLE WITH HEART PROBLEMS. COMMISSIONER WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT IF WE USE WATER FROM THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, WE CANNOT ADD ANY NEW CUSTOMERS. MR. NELSON AGREED THAT SUBSTANTIALLY WE CANNOT, BUT WE CAN MAINTAIN OUR LEVEL OF CUSTOMERS. COMMISSIONER LYONS BROUGHT UP THE POSSIBILITY OF DIVIDING THE LINES AND HAVING PART OF THE SYSTEM ON THE OTHER WATER AND BEING ABLE TO ADD CUSTOMERS IN THAT MANNER. MR. LINER FELT THERE COULD BE A CONSIDERABLE SOURCE OF WATER AND WISHED TO HAVE PERMISSION TO EXPLORE IT. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT NO CENSUS FIGURES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FOR LOCAL REVIEW AS YET, AND ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE TO REVIEW THESE FIGURES WHEN THEY DO COME IN. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE PERMISSION TO HANDLE THIS MATTER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S ASSISTANCE AND REPORT BACK TO THE BOARD WHEN THE FIGURES ARE RECEIVED.

COMMISSIONER WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE HAD A RESIGNATION FROM OUR RECENT APPOINTEE TO THE MENTAL HEALTH BOARD DISTRICT NO. 9, MR. BUCHANAN. COMMISSIONER WODTKE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF CONTROVERSY INVOLVED WITH THIS BOARD AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME. HE BELIEVED IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ST. LUCIE COUNTY MAY BE TAKEN TO COURT IN REGARD TO THEIR NOT FUNDING CERTAIN LEVELS OF THE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM, AND BECAUSE OF ALL_THIS, HE DID NOT FEEL HE COULD ASK ANYONE TO TAKE ON THE JOB BECAUSE OF THE ATMOS- PHERE AND THE PROBLEMS.

I was asked if our County Commissioners had contacted Mrs. Welchel or myself re- garding representation from the Indian River County Council bn Aging. I, of course, advised them that we were not aware of any contact by the County Commission regard- ing the Conference. I have been subsequently advised that action was taken by the Indian River County Commissioners and an appointment was made of two gentlemen, one of whom I under- stand is the President of AARP. This is an embarrassing situation for the Council, particularly because of the fact that I represent you Commissioners on the Council on Aging Board of Directors. Our organization represents over 5,200 senior citizens who are members and our or- ganization gives the greatest percentage of services to seniors of any service organ- ization in this County.
