DIRECTOR TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR AN ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND
CONSERVATION BLOCK GRANT (EECBG)
Community Development Director Robert Keating recapped the memorandum of January
28, 2010 to provide description and conditions of staff's request to submit the Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) application to the Florida Energy and Climate
Commission. He pointed out a change to the Grant amount request, from $491,314.00 to
$565,314.00, with the County's match to be $507,047. The money will be used for the following
three projects: (1) Installing a solar hot water system at the IRC Jail; (2) Gifford Community
Center lighting and HVAC energy efficient improvements; and (3) Incandescent traffic light
replacement with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Director Keating explained that Bullet Point 1
of staff's recommendation should read "application" instead of "resolution", and thereafter asked
the Board to approve the application and authorize staff to make any minor changes and submit
the application.

Keating acquiesced. He thereafter responded to Commissioners' questions about the Grant.

12.A.2 . CONSIDERATION OF EXTENSION OF TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF
IMPACT FEES
Community Development Director Robert Keating reviewed the memorandum of
February 1, 2010, to provide background conditions and analysis of the County -initiated request
to consider extending the temporary suspension of impact fees for Emergency Services
Facilities, Correctional Facilities, Public Buildings, Law Enforcement, and Solid Waste
Facilities. He recalled the Board's adoption on March 24, 2009, of Ordinance No. 2009-003,
which had effected a six-month temporary suspension of the aforementioned impact fees to
September 30, 2009, and the Board's adoption on September 22, 2009 of Ordinance 2009-015,
which extended the temporary suspension for another six months to March 31, 2010. He
relayed that staff would advise extending the suspension for a one-year (rather than a six-month
period), and presented staff's recommendation for the Board to authorize staff to advertise for a
Public hearing on March 16, 2010 to consider extending the temporary suspension of the five
impact fees for a one-year period.
Commissioner Davis cited the East Coast Animal Medical Center (an animal clinic with
an equine surgery center), being built by Dr. Valerie Biehl on 69th Street, as a positive example
of a new business which has benefited from the temporary suspension of impact fees. He noted
that it is not the time to raise taxes or fees, and observed that extending the impact fee suspension
is the proper course of action.
Commissioner Wheeler voiced that residential development creates the largest drain on
the system, but commercial development pays the largest portion of the fees. He requested that
12
February 9, 2010
staff provide some financial data comparing residential with commercial development before the
March 16, 2010 Public Hearing.
Vice Chairman Solari outlined his objections to using impact fees as a growth
management tool, although he agreed that commercial impact fees are too high and would
support a reduction in that area.
Commissioner Flescher endorsed the temporary suspension of impact fees extension as a
mechanism to make it more viable for businesses to come into the community. He agreed with
Commissioners Wheeler and Solari that commercial fees were too high; however, he recalled
that County Attorney William Collins had advised the Board it could not be selective as to who
gets the reductions.
County Attorney Collins, when questioned by Vice Chairman Solari on whether he had
changed his opinion, explained why his stance remained unchanged.
Commissioner Flescher wished to see staff bring back to the Board in March, a
comparative analysis of the commercial and residential impact fees at the inception of the
temporary impact fee suspension and currently. He also wanted information on the County's
standing relative to returning any unused impact fees.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner Flescher, the Board authorized staff to
advertise for a Public Hearing to amend the Temporary
Suspension of Impact Fees Ordinance to extend the
current suspension of five impact fees from April 1, 2010
to March 31, 2011, as recommended in the memorandum
of February 1, 2010.
12.B. EMERGENCY SERVICES -NONE
13
February 9, 2010
12. C GENERAL SERVICES
12.C.1. INDIAN RIVER COUNTY JUDICIAL CENTER HVAC
RE -COMMISSIONING
General Services Director Thomas Frame recapped the memorandum and supporting data
(pages 123-276 of backup) to provide background and a detailed review and analysis of an
investigation undertaken by staff in conjunction with industrial hygienists Banks Clark of
Environment Safety and Health (ESH), and Dr. Phil Morey of Environ, to detect the source/s of
odors reported by certain occupants of the Judicial Center at the County Courthouse. He
provided an overview of the action plan (pages 127 & 128) developed by staff to implement Dr.
Morey's recommendations, and divulged that an infrared camera survey of the exterior and
interior building performed by Mr. Clark showed no increased elevations of moisture (which
would indicate significant mold issues) inside the building. Director Frame conveyed his desire
to continue taking a pro -active position, and since one more odor complaint had been received
after the studies were done, he presented staff's recommendation to hire a commissioning
agent/engineer, The Phoenix Agency (who performed the original commissioning of the
Courthouse building), to evaluate the mechanical system at the Courthouse for problems.
Facilities Manager Lynn Williams, responding to Chairman O'Bryan's inquiry,
confirmed that another odor complaint had been received on January 11, 2010, and conveyed his
belief that the air pressurization system at the Courthouse building was allowing odors, such as
flavored coffee and chemical deodorizers, to migrate from one space to another. He pointed out
that no moisture presence was found to suggest a mold colony or water intrusion, nor have there
been further complaints of odor.
Additional conversation ensued, as staff provided further details and responded to the
Board's questions regarding the HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system at the
Courthouse and the proposed re -commissioning of the Courthouse building.
14
February 9, 2010
Vice Chairman Solari commended staff on their diligence and professional and
upstanding handling of the odor investigation, and believed that, with the help of the consultants,
they have done everything reasonably possible to find the problem. He pointed out there are
some individuals who have more sensitivities than others, and he did not feel it logical to
continue spending money searching for a problem which staff has no reasonable expectation of
finding.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, for discussion,
to continue with the great maintenance being done to the
Courthouse and other County buildings, and to deny
staff's recommendation to re -commission the County
Courthouse building.
Chairman O'Bryan and Commissioners Flescher and Wheeler voiced support for Vice
Chairman Solari's Motion.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 4-1
vote (Commissioner Davis opposed), the Motion carried.
The Board approved to continue with the great
maintenance being done to the Courthouse and other
County buildings, and denied staff's recommendation to
re -commission the County Courthouse building.

Management and Budget Director Jason Brown presented this request from the Senior
Resource Association (SRA) for the Board to provide matching funds in the amount of $21,635,
in conjunction with United Way of Indian River County Foundation's commitment of up to a
50% match, for the purchase of a food warming truck, anticipated to cost around $42,000, for the
Meals on Wheels Program serving the Gifford community. He thereafter presented staff's
recommendation for the Board to approve the necessary Budget Amendment to fund the
aforementioned amount from the General Fund Contingency, with the amount to be matched by
the United Way of Indian River County Foundation.
ON MOTION BY Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously approved
to provide a match in the amount of $21,635 to funds
provided by the United Way of Indian River County
Foundation, for the Meals on Wheels Program food
warming truck, and authorized the Budget Office to
prepare a Budget Amendment to appropriate the
aforementioned funds, as recommended in the

12.1.1. STAFF UPDATE — SECTOR 3 BEACHRENOURISHMENT PROJECT
Public Works Director Christopher Mora, through a review of staffs report (copy on
file), updated the Board on the Sector 3 Beach Renourishment Project. He reported that Ranger
Construction Industries, Inc. has today begun constructing the Project, and anticipates needing a
70 -day time frame to fulfill all the sand requirements for Phase I of the Project. Director Mora
also advised Commissioners that staff was still in discussion with Ranger regarding the proposed
increase of $984,502 to Change Order No. 1.
Discussion ensued as Commissioners reinforced with staff the importance of providing
informational signage for the public, signage regulating the use of Jake Brakes by the haul
trucks, and some fencing or barricades to block access by pedestrians and bicyclists into the
beachfront park entrances.
Responding to Commissioner Wheeler's inquiry, Director Mora provided background
information and more details on the Change Order, conveying that staff's goal was to come to an
agreement with Ranger.
Chairman O'Bryan congratulated staff and Ranger Construction on working hard to make
the forthcoming Project a success.
Concluding discussion on this matter, the Board and staff elaborated about the role of the
Sheriff's office in helping to monitor and control any traffic bottlenecks resulting from truck
traffic.

February 9, 2010
Commissioner Davis's question on whether the survey could be done in-house sparked
discussion between Commissioners and staff regarding the possibility of having staff, rather than
the outside contractor, undertake the environmental survey.

and return with more information at the February 16, 2010 Board of County Commission
meeting.
