SPOUSE ABUSE GRANT
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT THIS PROGRAM HAS HAD A PROBLEM

WHICH GRANTED A RECREATION COVENANT TO RIOMAR COUNTRY CLUB AND AGREED

ATTORNEY GOULD ASSURED THE BOARD THAT THE RIOMAR COUNTRY
CLUB HAD APPROACHED THIS .MATTER IN GOOD FAITH; HOWEVER, IN LOOKING
DOWN THE ROAD FOR TEN YEARS OR SO, THE CLUB DOES NOT FEEL IT CAN OPEN
ITSELF TO THE PUBLIC ON THE BASIS NOW BEING REQUIRED. HE INFORMED
THE BOARD THAT THE CLUB IS NOT CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC AS HAS BEEN INDI-
CATED IN THE NEWSPAPERS; IT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, THOUGH NOT ON A
COMPLETE BASIS.
COMMISSIONER L.OY BELIEVED THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE
PARTICULAR STATUTE IN QUESTION WAS TO PROTECT VALUABLE OPEN SPACE
FOR THE GOOD OF ALL PEOPLE AND TO ENCUMBER THESE SPACES TO ASSURE
THEIR AVAILABILITY FOR THAT EXPRESS PURPOSE. SHE NOTED THAT IT WOULD
BE DIFFICULT FOR ANY PRIVATE CLUB TO EXTEND ITS FACILITIES IN THE
MANNER NOW REQUIRED AND CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN A PROFITABLE MANNER.

WAS JUST ADDED IN 1978, AND HE FELT IT TOOK AWAY THE HEART OF THE LAW

LETTER OF INTENT RE BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES FOR SOUTH COUNTY WATER
SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
ATTORNEY COLLINS REPORTED THAT HE HAS DISCUSSED THE LETTER
OF INTENT FROM SMITH BARNEY, HARRIS UPHAM & CO. WITH OUR BOND COUNSEL,
WHOSE OPINION IT IS THAT THE BOND ANTICIPATION NOTES DO NOT REQUIRE
THE SERVICES OF A TRUSTEE; SMITH BARNEY IS PUSHING FOR A TRUSTEE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT WE SHOULD RELY ON THE BOND COUNSEL FOR THE
COUNTY, AND HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE CONCEPT OF THE
LETTER OF INTENT SUBJECT TO AMENDMENT,
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS CONCURRED AND FURTHER
NOTED THAT SUCH A TRUSTEE WOULD JUST BE AN ADDED EXPENSE TO THE COUNTY.
ATTORNEY COLLINS CONTINUED THAT THE FIRST PARAGRAPH UNDER
ITEM 4 OF THE LETTER OF INTENT STATES THAT ANY FORMAL OFFER TO PUR-
CHASE BANS WILL BE ACCEPTED OR REJECTED BY THE COUNTY ON THE SAME DAY
THE OFFER IS SUBMITTED WHILE THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH STATES THAT THE
COUNTY IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ACCEPT ANY PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE THE
BANS, AND IF NO AGREEMENT IS REACHED AFTER TEN DAYS, THE UNDERWRITER
MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. HE FELT THIS IS INCONSISTENT AND SUG-
GESTED THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME WORDING CHANGE TO RECTIFY THIS. THE
ATTORNEY THEN NOTED THAT ITEM 5 STATES THAT ALL COSTS OF ISSUANCE,
INCLUDING ATTORNEY `S FEES, UNDERWRITER'S OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES, ETC.,
ARE TO BE PAID BY THE COUNTY OUT OF BAN PROCEEDS. HE STATED THAT HE
ALWAYS HAD BEEN UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE ATTORNEY FOR THE UNDER-
WRITER AND CERTAIN COSTS OF THE UNDERWRITER CAME OUT OF THE UNDER-
WRITER'S FEES, AND HE WOULD LIKE TO VERIFY THAT POINT TO SEE WHETHER
THIS IS CUSTOMARY OR REASONABLE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THIS SITUATION IS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT THAN WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST; HOUGH & CO. DID NOT HIRE
AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT THEM, AND SMITH BARNEY IS REPRESENTED. HE
CONTINUED THAT THE TIMETABLE IS TO TRY TO MOVE AHEAD TO CONSUMMATE
SOMETHING BY THE FIRST WEEK IN NOVEMBER, AND IF THE BOARD WOULD APPROVE
A LETTER OF INTENT SATISFACTORY TO THE CHAIRMAN, FINANCE OFFICER AND
10
THE ATTORNEY, GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE LETTER OF INTENT SUB-
MITTED BY SMITH BARNEY, HARRIS UPHAM, AND GIVE THE CHAIRMAN AUTHORITY
TO SIGN WHEN THE DETAILS ARE WORKED OUT, HE FELT IT WOULD EXPEDITE
THE SITUATION.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS INFORMED THE BOARD
THAT SMITH BARNEY HAS HANDLED SOME OF THE BIGGEST BAN FINANCING IN
THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING THE NEW AQUEDUCT SYSTEM FOR THE KEYS. HE
NOTED THAT THIS TYPE OF FINANCING IS BECOMING SO COMMON NOW THAT IT
IS REFERRED TO AS MUNICIPAL COMMERCIAL PAPER, AND THE REASON MUNICI-
PALITIES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO THIS FIELD IS BECAUSE OF THEIR
TAX ADVANTAGE.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED A LETTER OF INTENT CONSISTENT
WITH THE LETTER OF INTENT SUBMITTED BY SMITH BARNEY, HARRIS UPHAM
JUST REVIEWED, SUBJECT TO THE POINTS OF CONCERN EXPRESSED BY THE
ATTORNEY BEING SATISFIED, AND AUTHORIZED THE SIGNATURE OF THE CHAIRMAN
SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE ATTORNEY, THE FINANCE OFFICER AND
THE CHAIRMAN.
SAID LETTER OF INTENT WILL BE MADE A PART OF THE MINUTES
WHEN COMPLETED AND EXECUTED.

Neil Nelson, County Administrator
George G. Collins, Jr.
Winter Beach Cemetery
DATE: September 29, 1980
Dear Neil:
wK 45 Put 12
Regarding the county property which was dedicated for
cemetery purposes off Winter Beach Road, it would seem to
me the way to approach the 17 or so acres would be to
hire one of the surveying companies in town to prepare
a plat of the property for cemetery purposes. I suggest
you obtain authority from the county commission to plat
• the property and then, with the help of the Winter Beach
Cemetery Association, come up with a*general plan and
go ahead and have the property surveyed, the corners
marked and let's get a plat of record.
Since ly,
George Collins, Jr.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS NOTED THAT THIS WOULD
BE THE FIRST ACTION OF THIS TYPE TAKEN BY THIS BOARD WHICH, IN EFFECT,
WOULD PUT THE COUNTY IN THE CEMETERY BUSINESS. HE NOTED THAT WE DO
HAVE OTHER CEMETERIES IN THE COUNTY, INCLUDING THE OSLO CEMETERY,
WHICH WE DO MAINTAIN BUT NO RECORDS ARE KEPT, HE BELIEVED THERE
HAVE BEEN BURIALS THERE OF WHICH THERE ARE NO RECORDS.
COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT WE WILL HAVE TO TRY TO FORMALIZE
THIS BUSINESS, AND THE CHAIRMAN NOTED THAT THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE
TO ACCEPT THE ATTORNEY'S ADVICE.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
ATTORNEY REGARDING WINTER BEACH CEMETERY AS SET OUT IN HIS MEMO OF
SEPTEMBER 29, 1980.
COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT WE HAVE THIS CEMETERY,
THE ONE IN OSLO, AND SOME KIND OF SITUATION WITH THE CEMETERY IN
GIFFORD, AND HE WONDERED IF WE SHOULDN'T COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDA-
TION AS TO HOW WE CAN FORMALIZE THIS BUSINESS OF BURIALS ON THESE
PLOTS IN ORDER TO GET SOME KIND OF RECORDS. HE BELIEVED WE SHOULD
LOOK AT THE WHOLE CEMETERY SITUATION AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO CONTROL
IT AND STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE ADMINISTRATOR TO ADDRESS
THE WHOLE SITUATION. THE BOARD AGREED.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT REQUESTED THE ADMINISTRATOR TO PURSUE THIS
MATTER AND BRING BACK A REPORT.
QUESTION AROSE AS TO WHETHER THE 25 YEAR EXTENSION PERIOD WAS
AN ADDITIONAL 25 YEARS OR 25 YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL DATE OF THE LEASE,
AND COORDINATOR THOMAS FELT IT WAS FROM THE DATE OF THE EXPIRATION
OF THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, MAY 8, 1979.
THE CHAIRMAN REQUESTED THAT MR. THOMAS GIVE A HISTORY OF
THE ACQUISITION OF THE SPOIL ISLANDS,
MR. THOMAS NOTED THAT THIS SITUATION GOES BACK 15 YEARS AT
LEAST WHEN THERE WERE A FEW SQUATTERS ON THE ISLANDS IN INDIAN RIVER
COUNTY AND A GOOD MANY IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, AND THERE WERE A LOT OF
PROBLEMS. A GROUP OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING COMMISSIONER Loy, BECAME INTER-
ESTED IN ACQUIRING THESE ISLANDS SO THEY COULD BE PRESERVED FOR ALL
THE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY, AND THEY WORKED INDEPENDENTLY TO ACHIEVE
THIS. THE COUNTY THEN AUTHORIZED THE FORMATION OF A MARINE ISLAND
ADVISORY COMMISSION. THIS COMMISSION NEGOTIATED WITH F.I.M.D. FOR
THE FOUR ISLANDS THEY OWNED; THE BALANCE WERE OWNED BY THE STATE.
A FIVE YEAR LEASE WAS OBTAINED, AND IN ADDITION, F.I.N.D. INDICATED
THEIR SUPPORT BY SUBSCRIBING $1,500 OF THEIR OWN MONEY FOR STUDIES
RELATING TO THE SPOIL ISLANDS, THIS LEASE EXPIRED LAST YEAR, AND
DURING THE INTERIM PERIOD, THE MARINE COMMISSION, THE PLANNING DEPART-
MENT, THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS,AND THE DER CAME UP WITH A
TOTAL OF $20,000 TO CONDUCT AN IN-DEPTH STUDY. WITH THOSE FUNDS,
THE COUNTY EMPLOYED HARBOR BRANCH FOUNDATION, TO WORK ALONG WITH OUR
PLANNING DEPARTMENT, TO DO THIS IN-DEPTH STUDY, WHICH WAS FILED WITH
THE DER AS A PILOT PROJECT FOR THE WHOLE STATE ON THE 1ST OF OCTOBER.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT WISHED IT NOTED THAT FORMER COMMISSIONER
MASSEY ALSO WORKED VERY HARD ON THIS PROJECT ALONG WITH COMMISSIONER
LOY AND COMMISSIONER WODTKE, WHO IS CHAIRMAN OF THE MARINE COMMISSION,
AND NOW THESE SPOIL ISLANDS ARE UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE COUNTY
FOR 25 YEARS.

COMMISSIONER LOY INFORMED THE BOARD THAT AS OF EARLY
THIS MORNING, THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
IS IN RECEIPT OF A QUIT CLAIM DEED FROM THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO THE PROPERTY WE HAVE APPLIED FOR ON THE OCEANFRONT, KNOWN TO ALL

AND THE OTHER FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY FOR USE OF THE LAND FOR
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES, COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT THIS DOCUMENT HAS
BEEN FORWARDED TO US BY HERITAGE CONSERVATION AND RECREATION SERVICE,
AND IT REQUIRES THAT IT BE ACCEPTED AND RECORDED. COMMISSIONER LOY
BELIEVED THIS IS A TREMENDOUS DAY FOR INDIAN RIVER COUNTY WHEN THE

WILL HAVE AN OCEANFRONT PARK OPEN FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND WE ALSO
HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING F.I.T. TO THIS COMMUNITY. COMMIS-
SIONER LOY WISHED TO PUBLICLY PAY TRIBUTE TO SENATOR LAWTON CHILES

HIS HELP THIS PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.

BE POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE VICE CHAIRMAN SIGN THE ACCEPTANCE, AND ATTORNEY
COLLINS STATED THAT IT COULD BE DONE BY MOTION.
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMIS-
SIONER LYONS, TO ACCEPT THE QUIT CLAIM DEED TO THE TRACKING STATION
PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE -ATTORNEY'S APPROVAL AND TO AUTHORIZE THE
VICE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN THE ACCEPTANCE OF SAME AND HAVE SAID DEED RECORDED

RECOGNIZE APPROPRIATELY WHAT COMMISSIONER LOY HAS DONE OVER APPROXI-
MATELY TEN YEARS IN OBTAINING THIS BEACHFRONT PIECE OF PROPERTY FOR
TiE COUNTY. HE NOTED THAT COMMISSIONER LOY DOGGEDLY KEPT THE MOMENTUM
O -E THIS PROJECT GOING FOR ALMOST HER ENTIRE TERM AS A COUNTY COMMIS-

The County has received a total of $653,000 of CDBG funds for
the three program -years. Those grants have been successfully com-
pleted and closed out. This application will cover a three-year
funding cycle with Small Cities funds: Fiscal Year 1981 amounting
to $321,000; 1982 in.the amount of $425,000; and 1983 in the amount
of $424,000 for a three-year total of $1,170,000.
Depending upon forthcoming regulations or administrative deci-
sions at the HUD level, the amount of funds applied for may vary from
those presently anticipated.
Applications under the Small Cities Program are competitive with
other communities throughout the State, and it is certain that more
pre -applications for funding will -be submitted than can be funded.
Submission of a pre -application for these funds is'no guarantee that
the County's program will be funded. Further, approval of the appli-
cation notwithstanding, subsequent funding is dependent upon satis-
factory performance.
If the County's pre -application rates favorably compare to
other applicants, HUD will invite the -County to submit a full appli-
cation for Small Cities Program Funds.
Activities eligible to be conducted under a Community Develop-
ment Program include, but are not specifically limited to, the
following range of activities:
1. Acquisition
2. Neighborhood facilities
3. Public facilities and improvements, such as solid waste
disposal, fire equipment, public utilities improvement;
street paving, lighting and drainage; with certain
restrictions
4. Provision of public services
5. Interim assistance, including emergency housing repair
6. Removal of architectural barriers to the elderly and

12. Various types of housing assistance
During the past three program years, the County has undertaken or
programmed the following types of activities with CDBG funds: public
improvements, such as street paving and drainage; recreation improve-
ments; housing rehabilitation.
These CD applications are developed by the CD and Planning staffs,
reflecting regular meetings with the Citizens Advisory Committee, cor-
respondence with other agencies, civic groups and individuals, etc.,
on a continuing basis throughout the program year, in addition to the
two public hearings for citizen information and input. The Citizens
Advisory Committee recommends the program activities based upon citizen
input and staff recommendations, with final approval the responsibility
of the County Commission. The pre -application for Small Cities funds
will be sent to HUD by November 17, 1980.
In accordance with HUD requirements, a status report is being pre-
pared. This report describes the progress of the CD program through
November, 1980, will be included as part of the pre -application and
will be available for public inspection in the Community Development
Department at 800 - 20th Place, -Suite #3, Vero Beach, Florida 32960.
In addition, the Department will be up -dating its Citizen Parti-
cipation Plan in accordance with the new regulations.

APPLICATION SUMMARY
A major intent of the Community Development Program is to meet
the statutory objective of providing decent housing, a suitable living
environment and expanded economic opportunities, principally for per-
sons of low and moderate>'•income.
In developing the 1981 Community Development Block Grant Appli-
cation, the following major needs were found to exist:
I. The need to eliminate blighting influences in deteriorating
neighborhoods, especially those influences detrimental to
health, safety and public welfare of low to moderate -income
persons.
II. The need to conserve and maintain Indian River County's
present housing stock, especially those units occupied
by low to moderate -income persons.
The long-term objectives of the Community Development Program in
relation to the needs are:
(A) To upgrade deteriorating neighborhoods to decent, safe and
environmentally sound living areas; eliminating those
influences that are detrimental.to the health, safety and
public welfare of low to moderate -income residents as first
priority. (Related to I)
(B) To actively preserve housing through the initiation of a
multitude of programs which will aid and assist in the
maintenance and conservation of housing for low to moderate -
income families. (Related to II)
Short-term objectives which will assist in accomplishing the stated
long-term objectives are:
(1) The'establishment of a Public Facilities Program to elim-
inate deficiencies in this area,'i.e., street paving,
water and sewer, sidewalks, drainage, etc. (Related to (A))
(2) The establishment of a Housing Demolition Program to
eliminate unsafe, dilapidated structures that blight
the community. (Related to (A) and (B)).
(3) The establishment of a Housing Rehabilitation Program to
return structurally sound substandard units to standard
condition and prevent further deterioration.
Activities presented in the Fiscal Year 1981 Community Develop-
ment Block Grant Pre -application which support the short-term objec-
tives are:
(a) Establishment of public facilities program to eliminate
deficiencies in this area.
1. Streets and associated drainage
2. Park and playground
3. Water service
(b) Housing rehabilitation to return 76 structurally sound
substandard units to standard condition.

COPIES OF THE PRECEDING DOCUMENTS WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO
THE GENERAL PUBLIC. MR. REGAN EXPLAINED THAT THE PROPOSED THREE YEAR
PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED SO THAT WE COULD MAKE A DEFINITE IMPACT IN A
CERTAIN AREA EACH YEAR. HE NOTED THAT IN THE PROJECT AREA ALL BUT
2% OF THE PEOPLE ARE LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND CONTINUED THAT DEPENDING
ON FORTHCOMING REGULATIONS, THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS APPLIED FOR MAY VARY
FROM THOSE PRESENTLY ANTICIPATED. THE APPLICATIONS FOR THESE FUNDS
ARE VERY COMPETITIVE, AND SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION IS NO GUARANTY
THAT THE PROGRAM WILL BE FUNDED. HE ANNOUNCED TO THOSE PRESENT THAT
THERE WILL BE A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS PRE -APPLICATION AT
5:01 O'CLOCK P.M. TODAY.
MR. REGAN CONTINUED TO COMMENT, NOTING THAT ALTHOUGH WE
HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED FOR FUNDING IN THE PAST ON THIS SAME SITE,
OUR STANDING HAS IMPROVED SUBSTANTIALLY EACH YEAR. IN ADDITION, WE
NOW HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CLOSED OUT ON THREE PREVIOUS GRANTS; WE HAVE
GOTTEN A SECTION S HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OF $225,000 AND A
LAND ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT TRUST FUND RESERVATION IN WRITING
THAT IS BEING WORKED ON BY -THE HOUSING AUTHORITY; AND THE HOUSING
AUTHORITY ALSO CAME INTO BEING IN THIS SAME PERIOD OF TIME AND THEY
HAVE MADE APPLICATION TO HUD FOR 116 UNITS OF PUBLIC HOUSING. ALL
THESE ARE POSITIVE STEPS FORWARD. MR. REGAN THEN WENT ON TO DISCUSS
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUNDING (ENTITLEMENT AND DISCRETIONARY), NOTING
THAT THE ENTITLEMENT AREAS (LARGE CITIES) ARE AUTOMATICALLY FUNDED,
BUT THE COUNTIES AND SMALLER CITIES HAVE TO COMPETE FOR THE DISCRE-
TIONARY FUNDS. THE REQUESTS FOR THESE FUNDS ARE FOUR TIMES THE
AMOUNT TO BE GIVEN OUT TO THE DISCRETIONARY GROUPS, AND THE COMPETI-
TION, THEREFORE, IS INTENSE.
COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THE RECORD SHOULD SHOW THAT THE
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE MET AND VOTED TO CONTINUE
TO TRY TO GET THIS APPLICATION APPROVED, AND MR. REGAN CONFIRMED
THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS ENDORSED MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROGRAM.
36
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT CONTINGENCY ONLY ALLOWS
5.1? FOR INFLATION OVER A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS. MR. REGAN EXPLAINED
THAT THIS REFLECTS AN AVERAGE OF $9,000 PER UNIT THE FIRST YEAR, .IN=
(CREASING TO $9,500 THE SECOND YEAR AND $10,000 THE THIRD. THIS IS
BASED ON THE PREMISE THAT THEIR SKILLS WILL INCREASE OVER THE YEARS,
AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL MAKE UP IN EFFICIENCY TO COMPENSATE FOR
INFLATION.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT RELOCATION ASSISTANCE AMOUNTS
TO $7,500 PER FAMILY.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR REGAN EXPLAINED THAT IF WE
HAVE TO MOVE A FAMILY OUT TO FUMIGATE, FOR INSTANCE, OR DO SOME
DRASTIC REPAIRS, WE HAVE TO PROVIDE SOME SORT OF HOUSING. ANY FAMILY
WHO IS RENTING COULD GET ASSISTANCE UP TO $4,000 IN RELOCATING AND
ADJUSTING TO THEIR NEW RENTAL PATTERN. AN OWNER OF PROPERTY WHO IS
BEING RELOCATED HAS TO BE PROVIDED WITH HOUSING AT LEAST EQUAL AND
COULD RECEIVE ASSISTANCE UP TO $15,000. MR. REGAN FELT THE FIGURE
FOR RELOCATION POSSIBLY COULD BE ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD, PERHAPS
FROM $150,000 TO $135,000.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT IN ITEM 6, ADMINISTRATION,
"LESS THAN 11.79%" SHOULD BE ADJUSTED AS IT IS NOT CORRECT.
MR, REGAN RECOMMENDED THAT WE STAY WITH THE $138,000 ADMINIS-
TRATION FIGURE; HE NOTED THAT WE HAVE NOT ALTERED THAT FIGURE OVER THE
LAST THREE APPLICATIONS, AND IT WILL BE A TIGHT SQUEEZE. HE FURTHER
NOTED THAT THE PLANNING FIGURE HAS NOT BEEN UPPED EITHER.
THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANYONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD.
RYAN YOUNG OF 1510 37TH AVENUE ASKED WHAT THE FUNCTION OF
THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS AS IT RELATES TO THIS PROGRAM; HOW MANY
MEMBERS ARE ON THAT BOARD; AND WHO ARE THEY?
MR. REGAN STATED THAT THERE ARE TEN MEMBERS, THIS COMMITTEE
IS MADE UP OF PEOPLE FROM THE COUNTY AND PEOPLE FROM THE AREA AND
MR. .JACKSON AND MR. IDLETTE ARE TWO OF THE MEMBERS. HE FELT
THERE WERE SIX PRESENT AT THE MEETING WHEN THE PROGRAM WAS ENDORSED.
COMMISSIONER LYONS EXPLAINED THAT AN AGENDA WAS MADE UP
AND SENT OUT FOR THE MEETING OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND NOTICE

OF THE MEETING WAS SENT OUT TO ALL MEMBERS, BUT FOR SOME REASON WE
DON T GET GOOD ATTENDANCE, WHICH IS VERY DISAPPOINTING. COMMISSIONER
EMPHASIZED THAT THE MEETING OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS IMPORTANT
SINCE IT IS WHERE THE DECISIONS ARE MADE ABOUT THE PROJECTS, AND WE
NEED ALL THE INPUT WE CAN GET.
MR. YOUNG ASKED IF THERE WAS A QUORUM AT THE MEETING, AND
MR. REGAN STATED THAT THERE WAS AND MINUTES WERE TAKEN.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.
ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED THAT THERE BE SOME INDICATION IN
THE RECORD OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED THIS HEARING.
HANDS WERE RAISED, ANDA TOTAL OF 17 PEOPLE WERE COUNTED. THE
CHAIRMAN ANNOUNCED THAT THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE AT 5:01 P.M.

Mr. W. W. Siebert, Chairman
Board of County Commissioners

Dear Sir:
The Gifford Civic League request a hearing to appear on the
October 22, 1980 Agenda to address the following concerns:
1. That the County Commissioners give final approval
of bids, submitted by Mr. Ed Reagan, for additional
Park improvement in Gifford.
2. That the County Commissioner request FHA to review,
evaluate and revise the Gifford Community's water
rate structure.
J. That the citizens water advisory committee be re-
activated as soon as possible.
4. That the present Board of Commissioners (because of
familiarity), give immediate attention to resolve the
problems related to water and park before the newly
elected members are seated.

MR. LUNDY INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE CIVIC LEAGUE IS VERY
DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IN SPITE OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH E.O.C. FOR ADDI-
TIONAL PLAY EQUIPMENT AND THE GROUNDS BEING IMPROVED SOMEWHAT BY THE
NEW PARK PROGRAM, THEY FEEL THE PARK IS DETERIORATING AND HAS BEEN
NEGLECTED IN SOME AREAS, I.E., WATER, COMPLETION OF THE TENNIS COURTS,
LACK OF RESTROOMS. HE CONTINUED THAT THE CIVIC LEAGUE HAS INVESTED
$2,000 OF THEIR OWN MONEY IN THE PARK, PLUS ANOTHER $7,000 THEY WERE
ABLE TO OBTAIN, AND THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE COUNTY ASSUME THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF MAINTAINING THE PARK ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS SO IT
WILL NOT CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE. MR. LUNDY STATED THAT THE BOARD HAS
ACCOMPLISHED MUCH IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS - GIFFORD DOES HAVE WATER,
A HOUSING PROGRAM HAS BEEN STARTED AND A RECREATION PROGRAM, AND
HE ASKED THAT THE BOARD MEMBERS, BOTH OUT -GOING AND THOSE REMAINING,
GO ON RECORD MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO CARRY ON THIS WORK AND IMPLE-
MENT THE PROGRAMS.
MR. LUNDY INFORMED THE BOARD THAT BECAUSE OF FINANCIAL
PROBLEMS, THE GIFFORD CIVIC LEAGUE NO LONGER CAN ASSUME THE RESPONSI-
BILITY OF SUPPLYING WATER TO THE PARK; S0, PEOPLE HAVE NO WATER WHEN
THEY ARE PICNICKING AND NO RESTROOMS. HE REITERATED THAT THE BOARD
SHOULD ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PARK AND BELIEVED IN TIME
THEY WOULD SEE FIT TO MAKE CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS AND FILL THE NEEDS,
MR. LUNDY REALIZED THE BUDGET HAS BEEN COMPLETED FOR THIS YEAR AND
THERE IS NO WAY THE BOARD CAN COME UP WITH THE $15,000 ESTIMATED TO DO
ALL THE THINGS NEEDED, BUT HE REQUESTED THAT THE FENCING OF THE TENNIS
COURT BE GIVEN PRIORITY AND COMPLETED.

SUBJECT: North Gifford Park Report
At the request of the County Commission I met with Ralph Lundy
and Victor Hart of the Gifford Progressive Civic League at the North
Gifford Park. Based on that meeting some improvements have been made
in the Park. They are as follow:
1. Completed fill and grading for the outfield of the practice
baseball field. It took 583 cubic yards of fill to bring
it up to grade.
2. County equipment disked and graded the soil in the outfield
of the baseball diamond in order to prepare it for seeding.
(Ralph Lundy advises that the Gifford Progressive Civic
League, with the cooperation of the Florida Farm Workers
crews, has seeded the area).
3. The Road & Bridge Department raised the grade of the road
and resurfaced the marl for its full length.
4. In accord with the request the graders levelled the stone
pile adjacent to the tennis court to delineate the parking
area.
We have priced the balance of the items requested by the Civic
League for improving the Park. The items and the prices are as follow:
Item #1: 125 feet of 8 -foot fence plus gates on the east and west
sides of the tennis court.
Estimates: Okeechobee Fence Co. - 10' fence $ 2,771.88
Hercules Fence - 8' fence 2,103.93
Item #2: Request for a full-sized basketball court with two goal
posts, backboards and fencing.
Estimates: Contacted three firms; one estimate submitted.
John Trodglen & Co. 94' x 50' $ 3,200.00
84' x 46' 2,650.00
striping of the court 225.00
Item #3: Set of restrooms for the Park. The League recommends
that they be built between the two pine trees on the
west side of the road just south of the entrance to
the tennis court.
Estimate: Cost of materials for Hobart
Park's newest restrooms $ 8,800.00
Labor (estimate) 5,800.00
Contingency of 10% 1,460.00
TOTAL $16,060.00
Item #4: Request that the County assume paying the monthly water
bill for the Park.
A. Ralph Lundy said the bill has averaged $11.00 for
a ten-month period.
B. A 50% increase in cost when the improvements other
than the restrooms are completed. The restrooms
would increase the cost an additional 50%.

SUBJECT: Gifford Progressive Civic League's Request for North
Gifford Park Improvements
Periodically, improvements have been made in North Gifford Park.
(See informational packet, North Gifford Park Report.) The unresolved
requests and their estimated costs are as follow:
Request
Estimated Cost
Item 1: Request for 240 feet of 8 -foot fence
plus gate for the east and west
sides of the tennis court $ 2,103,93
Item 2: Request for a full-sized basketball
court with two goal posts, backboards
and fencing 2,875.00
Item 3: Set of restrooms for the park (Hobart
Park estimated at $16,060.. Could
scale down design by one-third for
North Gifford Park) 10,70.0.00
Item 4: Request that the County assume paying
the monthly water bill for the Park
(average monthly water bill $14..00.
Park use estimated at $25.00/month.)
$ 15,678,93
The Economic Opportunities Council has ordered playground modules
for the park and has included a goal post, backboard and basket. This
project is federally funded in the amount of $6,000. They are working
with the Park and Planning Departments on a dual -use concept for the
tennis court area. They envision adapting the area to both basketball
and tennis. The basketball goal would be on the west side of the
courts at the mid point between the existing fences.
To augment these efforts I recommend for consideration:
Item 1 - fencing of the tennis court, as soon as
funds can be made available ($2,103.93)
Item 2 - place on hold and reconsider as the need
for basketball facilities increases
Item 3 - a set of restrooms for the park would
allow for greater utilization of the park
by all age groups, and is recommended as
funds become available
Item 4 - that water service be restored subject
to the supervision of the County Park
Department.
COMMISSIONER Loy STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD ACCEPT
MR. LUNDY'S PROPOSAL. SHE FELT THE WORK IN OUR PARK DEPARTMENT IN
THE LAST YEAR LENDS ITSELF TO ACCEPTING THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION.

COMMISSIONER Loy WENT ON
TO POINT OUT THAT THERE WOULD
HAVE
TO
BE
RULES FOR THIS PARK THE SAME AS THE RULES IN THE OTHER COUNTY PARKS
AND NOTED THAT ONCE THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE, THEY.WOULD BECOME A
PART OF THE FACILITY. SHE FELT THE GIFFORD PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE COULD
SERVE AS THE ORGANIZATION TO HIGHLIGHT SPECIFIC PROJECTS, NOTING THAT
WE HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN WORKING WITH THE KIWANIS CLUB IN THIS
WAY. SHE FELT ACCEPTING THIS RESPONSIBILITY WOULD INVOLVE HAVING A
SMALL COMMITTEE TO WORK WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR, AND SHE BELIEVED THE
OVERALL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARK COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THIS MANNER
AND THAT IT WILL BE SOMETHING OF WHICH WE ALL CAN BE PROUD,
COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED WHAT SERVICES WE PROVIDE AT THE
PRESENT TIME, AND MR. REGAN STATED THAT THE COUNTY PROVIDES GRASS
MAINTENANCE ON A PERIODIC SCHEDULE. HE GAVE A SUMMARY OF THE DEVELOP-
MENT OF THE PARK, NOTING THAT THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENT WAS DONE UNDER
THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WHERE $60,000 WAS SPENT ON CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS, INCLUDING THE ROAD, DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, SETTING UP OF
THE FOOTBALL FIELD AND WATER SERVICE. HE NOTED THAT TRASH PICKUP
WOULD BE AN INCREASED COST TO THE COUNTY AT THE OUTSET.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT THE WATER SERVICE WOULD BE ALSO.
MR, REGAN REPORTED THAT THE WATER SERVICE IS ALREADY INSTALLED,
AND IT APPEARS TO COST ABOUT $25.00 PER MONTH. HE FELT THIS WOULD
INVOLVE SOME SUPERVISION FROM THE PARK DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO WILL WASH THEIR CARS THERE, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A MUCH
LARGER COST.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED ALL THIS WOULD INVOLVE PICKUP OF
TRASH, POLICING OF THE PARK, SOME ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE, AND
ADDITIONAL COST FOR THE WATER BILL, PLUS WHATEVER CAPITAL IMPROVE-
MENTS THIS BOARD WOULD APPROVE.
ADMINISTRATOR NELSON FELT WE PICK UP THE TRASH NOW AND
THAT THE LARGEST EXPENSE WOULD BE THE INCREASED MAINTENANCE AND THE
WATER OR ANY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, SUCH AS THE FENCE FOR THE TENNIS
COURT,
MR. REGAN INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE E.O.C. HAS ORDERED
PLAYGROUND MODULES FOR THE PARK AND ALSO A.GOAL POST, BACKBOARD AND
BASKET, AND THEY ENVISION A DUAL USE FOR THE TENNIS COURT. MR. REGAN
RECOMMENDED AN H' FENCE SO THAT COURTS COULD BE UTILIZED FOR EITHER
BASKETBALL OR TENNIS.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT A DUAL USE OF THE
TENNIS COURT, NOTING THAT HAVING A STEEL POLE BY THE TENNIS COURT
COULD BE DANGEROUS. THE ADMINISTRATOR AGREED.
COMMISSIONER LYONS DID NOT FEEL THE BOARD IS HERE TO SETTLE
THESE TYPE PROBLEMS.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE, TO0, WOULD SUPPORT THE
COUNTY TAKING OVER THE GIFFORD PARK AND FELT THE PROPER APPROACH
WOULD BE TO ESTABLISH A RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE GIFFORD
AREA WHEREBY THEY WOULD ESTABLISH PRIORITIES. HE NOTED THESE PRIORI-
TIES ONLY CAN BE MET WHEN THE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE AND SHOULDiBE PRE-
SENTED WHEN BUDGETS ARE BEING PREPARED.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE AGREED THAT THE COUNTY WOULD BE WISE
TO RETAIN THE PARK UNDER ITS COMPLETE CONTROL WITH THE GIFFORD
PROGRESSIVE CIVIC LEAGUE SERVING IN A CAPACITY SIMILAR TO THE KIWANIS
CLUB, BUT FELT TO SAY THAT WE WILL ACCEPT THE PARK ON THE SAME BASIS
AS WE OPERATE HOBART KIWANIS PARK WOULD NOT BE FAIR BECAUSE WE HAVE
A LIVE-IN ATTENDANT THERE. HE DID NOT FEEL WE CAN DO THAT, BUT THAT
WE COULD MAINTAIN IT ON THE SAME BASIS AS OTHER PARKS IN THE COUNTY.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH
CONTROL OF PARKS AS TO VANDALISM, ETC., BUT HE BELIEVED THE PROGRESSIVE
CIVIC LEAGUE AND LEAGUE OF CHURCHES COULD BE HELPFUL IN CONTROL AND
UTILIZATION OF THE PARK.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD SUPPORT A MOTION TO
TAKE OVER THE PARK FOR MAINTENANCE AND JURISDICTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
AND FELT THE FENCING OF THE TENNIS COURT WOULD BE A STARTING POINT
AND THEN WE COULD GO FROM THERE.
COMMISSIONER LYONS DISCUSSED SEPARATING THESE TWO ITEMS.
HE FELT AS A MATTER OF POLICY WE COULD ACCEPT THE MAINTENANCE AND
JURISDICTION, BUT DID NOT THINK THE FUNDING OF A PARTICULAR ITEM
BELONGS IN THE SAME MOTION.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THE FENCING, WE WILL NOT HAVE THE COURT.

MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS TO HAVE THE COUNTY
TAKE OVER THE MAINTENANCE AND JURISDICTION OF THE GIFFORD PARK AND
TO INDICATE THAT WE WILL WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE OF THE GIFFORD
PROGRESSIVE CIVIC LEAGUE FOR THE PLANNING OF CAPITAL ITEMS FROM TIME
TO TIME EITHER ON A BASIS THAT THEY ARE TOTALLY FINANCED BY THE LEAGUE
OR PARTIALLY FINANCED BY THE LEAGUE.
THE MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMIS-
SIONER WODTKE, THAT THE COUNTY ACCEPT THE REQUEST OF THE GIFFORD
PROGRESSIVE CIVIC LEAGUE TO TAKE OVER THE MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION
OF THE GIFFORD PARK.
MR. YOUNG ASKED IF MR. WODTKE IS SAYING THAT THE COMMISSION
WILL TAKE OVER THE MAINTENANCE WITH THE JOINT EFFORT OF THE CIVIC
LEAGUE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND THE CHAIRMAN STATED THAT THE ONLY
MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS THAT THE COUNTY TAKE OVER THE PARK.
MR. YOUNG FELT THE EMPHASIS IS BEING PLACED ON A PARK SUCH
AS HOBART PARK, AND THE CHAIRMAN STATED THAT IT IS NOT.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
COMMISSIONER Loy WISHED TO RECOGNIZE THE THINGS THE CIVIC
LEAGUE HAS DONE TO CREATE THE PARK TO THIS POINT AND WISHED THEM TO
KNOW THAT THE BOARD DESIRES THEIR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE FUTURE.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT THE COUNTY WOULD PURCHASE
AND INSTALL THE S' FENCE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED $2,500.
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT WE DO HAVE SOME CAPITAL MONEY
IN THE PARKS BUDGET AT THIS TIME, AND AS LONG AS THE PARK IS UNDER
OUR JURISDICTION, SHE FELT WE SHOULD LOOK AT THAT BUDGET FIRST.
MR, LUNCY NEXT BROUGHT UP THE MATTER OF EVALUATING THE
WATER RATE -STRUCTURE,
ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THE RATES ARE REVIEWED BY
THE FMHA AND ARE STRUCTURED TO SUPPORT THE BOND ISSUE. THESE RATES
ARE UNIFORM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
MR. LUNDY STATED THAT THE CIVIC LEAGUE IS REQUESTING THAT THE
BOARD FILE A REQUEST WITH FMHA TO REVIEW AND REVISE THE RATE STRUCTURE,,
AND THEY HAVE SOMETHING OVER 300 SIGNATURES ON A PETITION TO THIS
EFFECT. HE STATED THAT THE GIFFORD WATER CUSTOMERS WERE PAYING THE
HIGHEST WATER RATES OF ANY SECTION OF THE COUNTY PRIOR TO JUNE IST,
AND POINTED OUT THAT A PROMISE WAS MADE THAT THE GIFFORD WATER CUSTO-
MERS WOULD, IF FEASIBLE, RECEIVE A REDUCTION IN RATES PROVIDING THERE
WAS A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN CUSTOMERS, THERE WERE 400 CUSTOMERS,
AND THERE ARE NOW ABOUT 700.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT INFORMED MR. LUNDY THAT THE BOARD HAS JUST
GONE THROUGH ALL BUDGETS, AND THE GIFFORD WATER SYSTEM OPERATED AT A
LOSS.
MR. LUNDY STATED THAT NEW CUSTOMERS ARE BEING DISCOURAGED
BY THE HIGH RATES, AND SOME CUSTOMERS WITH SEWER AND WATER ARE FACED
WITH DOUBLE BILLS; HE FELT THE ONLY HOPE IS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER
OF GALLONS ALLOWED AT THE SAME RATES.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THIS WOULD COMPOUND THE
PROBLEM BY DECREASING REVENUES, AND COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED
THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO PLAY WITH THE MINIMUM AMOUNT, BUT WE ARE
TAKING TREATED WATER FROM THE CITY OF VERO BEACH AND RUNNING IT
THROUGH THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, AND WE HAVE TO PAY THE CITY FOR
THE WATER THAT COMES OUT OF THEIR METER. COMMISSIONER WODTKE CON-
TINUED THAT WE HAVE A 12% LOSS OF WATER THAT IS NOT BEING METERED,
AND THAT IS A HIGH LOSS. THERE HAS BEEN BREAKAGE IN THE LINES
BETWEEN THE METERS AND THE HOMES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME VERY
HIGH WATER BILLS. HE STATED THAT WE CAN ASK FMHA TO COME IN AND
LOOK AT OUR BOOKS AND CHARGES AND SEE IF THEY CAN DETERMINE ANY WAY
WE CAN LOWER THE RATES, BUT POINTED OUT THAT THE RATES ARE SIMILAR
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND, HOPEFULLY, WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS,
WE WILL HAVE A NEW SYSTEM.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT REALIZED THEY ARE ASKING THE BOARD TO
REDUCE THE RATES TO ATTRACT NEW CUSTOMERS AND THEREBY INCREASE THE
REVENUE, BUT HE DOUBTED THAT FMHA AND THE BOND COMPANY WILL ALLOW
US TO DO THAT. HE NOTED THAT ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES PREVIOUSLY
DISCUSSED WAS MAKING HOOKUP MANDATORY.

MR. LUNDY COMMENTED THAT THE RATES IN THE CITY ARE LOWER,
AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT YOU CANNOT COMPARE THIS TO THE CITY.
ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THE BOND ISSUE IS BASED
UPON A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INCOME FLOWING INTO THE SYSTEM. PART OF IT
COMES FROM THE RATES AND PART FROM CONNECTION FEES, ETC. IF YOU. LOWER
THE RATES, YOU HAVE TO INCREASE THE REVENUE SOME PLACE ELSE.
MR. LUNDY NOTED THAT THE TAP -IN CHARGES HAVE BEEN INCREASED
FROM $250 TO $4001 AND IT WOULD COST A NEW CUSTOMER AROUND $600 TO
GET WATER. MANY FAMILIES CANNOT AFFORD THIS. HE CONTINUED THAT MANY
HAVE $70.00,$$0.00 AND $100.00 WATER BILLS, AND THEY WANT FMHA TO LOOK
INTO THIS.
COMMISSIONER LYONS POINTED OUT IN REGARD TO THE WATER IN
VERO BEACH BEING CHEAPER THAN WATER IN THE COUNTY THAT THE COUNTY
CANNOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE AT THE SAME COST AS SOMEONE WHO WENT INTO
THE BUSINESS TWENTY YEARS AGO WHEN CAPITAL COSTS WERE MUCH LESS.
COMMISSIONER Loy COMMENTED THAT WE COULD MAKE A REQUEST OF
FMHA, BUT FELT WE SHOULD GIVE CONSIDERATION TO THE FACT THAT THOSE
RATES WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGNED BECAUSE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO COME UP
WITH A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS. THIS SYSTEM HAS LOST MONEY SINCE
THE BEGINNING, AND IT IS VERY PROBABLE THAT FMHA MIGHT SAY THAT WE
CANNOT MEET OUR COMMITMENTS AT THE PRESENT RATE,
COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
GRANT PREAPPLICATION, DOLLARS ARE SET ASIDE THAT HOPEFULLY CAN BE USED
TO BE OF ASSISTANCE WITH THE TAP -IN FEES. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT
ALTHOUGH FMHA INDICATED THEY COULD ASSIST INDIVIDUALS WITH THE TAP -IN
FEES BY MAKING LOANS AT A VERY LOW INTEREST BASIS, THEY HAVE NOT RE-
CEIVED EVEN ONE APPLICATION. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE LOOKED FOR GRANT
PROGRAMS TO ASSIST THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE TAP -IN FEES, COM-
MISSIONER WODTKE CONTINUED THAT SINCE JUNE IST OF THIS YEAR, THERE
HAVE BEEN ONLY SEVEN ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS; S0, IT LOOKS AS IF WE
ARE NOT GOING TO GET MANY MORE CUSTOMERS AND POSSIBLY WE MIGHT HAVE
TO RAISE PRICES.
VALERIE GRANT INFORMED THE BOARD THAT SHE WORKS WITH MR.
LUNDY ON THE WATER COMMITTEE AND SHE DID CONCUR WITH MR. VIODTKE
ABOUT RATES POSSIBLY GOING UP AND WITH THE IDEA OF APPLYING FOR
GRANTS. SHE WAS GLAD TO HEAR THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF USING COM-
iiwY DEVELOPMENT GRANT FUNDS FOR'THIS PURPOSE.
46 -
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOP-
MENT FUNDS ONLY CAN BE USED WITHIN THE TARGET AREA, NOT THE ENTIRE
AREA OF GIFFORD. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS INDICATED THAT WE MUST
HAVE A TARGET AREA,
MS. GRANT STATED THAT SHE IS+ WILLING TO YIELD TO OTHER
THINGS FOR BETTER WATER RATES BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DEVELOP AND MOVE
FORWARD WITHOUT GOOD WATER. SHE CONTINUED TO DISCUSS THE USE OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MONEY AND FELT IT HAS BEEN USER TO CONTROL BEACH
EROSION.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT INFORMED HER THAT THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
MONEY HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR THAT PURPOSE,
BRENDA BURGESS ASKED WHAT IT COSTS TO OPERATE THE GIFFORD
SYSTEM; HOW MUCH IT IS IN THE RED; AND HOW MANY MORE CUSTOMERS ARE
NEEDED TO GET THIS SYSTEM IN THE BLACK. SHE THEN REVIEWED THE
PRESENT RATES AND FELT THEY SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ASK FMHA TO REVIEW THESE RATES.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT INFORMED HER THAT ALL OF THE FIGURES ON
THIS OPERATION ARE AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTY FINANCE OFFICES AND REIT-
ERATED THAT IF FMHA IS ASKED TO REVIEW, THEY MAY DECIDE IT IS NECES-
SARY TO RAISE THE RATES.
COMMISSIONER LYONS REAFFIRMED THAT THE FIGURES ARE OPEN TO
THE PUBLIC. HE NOTED THAT WE ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO ASK THE REST
OF THE COUNTY TO SUBSIDIZE GIFFORD; THE SYSTEM MUST STAND ON ITS OWN.
WITH REGARD TO TAP -IN CHARGES, WHICH ARE ABOUT $700, HE DID NOT FEEL
YOU CAN GET A SEPTIC TANK AND WELL FOR THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE STATED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ANY OBJECTION
TO ASKING FMHA TO COME IN AND LOOK AT THE OPERATION AND THE CHARGES
AND DID NOT FEEL IT WOULD GET US IN ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BONDING COMPANY
HE COMMENTED THAT WE COULD REACTIVATE THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
AND HAVE THEM WORK WITH FMHA, BUT THE BOARD POINTED OUT THAT IS AN
ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO THE BOARD, NOT TO FMHA.

VERO BEACH MAYOR SCURLOCK FELT THAT BASICALLY EVERYONE
REALIZES THERE ARE REVENUE REQUIREMENTS THAT MUST BE MET, BUT A RATE
ANALYSIS COULD BE DONE TO DETERMINE THE BEST APPROACH AND THAT IS
WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED. HE NOTED THAT YOU CAN REDUCE RATES AT THE
LOWER END AND INCREASE THEM AT THE HIGHER END AND THEREBY MAKE UP
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY LOST ON THE HIGHER WATER USERS.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT THE FIGURES INDICATE
THAT THERE ARE 699 CUSTOMERS, AND ONLY 6% OF THEM ARE AT LESS THAN
THE MINIMUM.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT AGAIN EMPHASIZED THAT IF WE GO INTO A
FULL RATE STUDY, THAT SYSTEM IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT, AND HE WAS
AFRAID THE PEOPLE MAY FIND THAT THEY ARE WORSE OFF THAN THEY ARE NOW.
COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR AN
EARLY REPORT OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS TO THEIR FINDINGS, AND
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED COMMISSIONER WODTKE IF HE WOULD REACTIVATE
THAT COMMITTEE.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHEN THE AUDIT REPORT ON THE
SYSTEM WOULD BE READY AND WHAT SPECIFIC ITEM THE BOARD WANTS TO ADDRESS.
FINANCE OFFICER BARTON ADVISED THAT THE TARGET DATE FOR
COMPLETION OF THE AUDIT REPORT IS DECEMBER 15, 1980. IT WAS NOTED
THAT COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK WAS GOING TO BE THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THERE ARE SOME EXPLORATIONS THAT
CAN BE MADE AND SOME IDEAS THAT MIGHT COME OUT AND MAYBE WE COULD
LEARN IF THERE WOULD BE ANY ADVANTAGE IN SHIFTING THE EMPHASIS IN
THE RATES.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DIRECTED COMMISSIONER WODTKE TO REACTIVATE
THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND STATED THAT IF THEY RECOMMEND
THAT WE SHOULD APPROACH FMHA OR ADJUST THE RATES IN SOME WAY, THE
BOARD WILL ADDRESS THE MATTER.

Dear Mr. Jennings:
WILLIAM N. ROSE
SECRETARY
ti
As you may know, in 1979 the Florida Legislature addressed the problems of trans-
portation disadvantaged persons including the elderly, handicapped and indigent
who are unable to transport themselves or purchase transportation services.
Through Florida Statute 427, the Coordinating Council for the Transportation Dis-
advantaged was established for the purpose of developing policies and procedures
to coordinate federal and state funding for transportation disadvantaged individuals.
The Coordinating Council is comprised of the Secretaries of the Departments of
Transportation, Community Affairs, Health and Rehabilitative Services and Education
together with appointed handicapped members of the general public. The Council's
role is to assist local communities in developing transportation systems designed
to serve their transportation disadvantaged residents as well as function as an
information clearinghouse.
With the myriad of federal and state funding sources and the often duplicative
services provided by various agencies, the Legislature mandated the selection of
a single transportation provider for each county in the state. Inasmuch as the
coordination and the provision of transportation services are vital issues to all
levels of government as well as the general public, I am requesting that a repre-
sentative of the Department of Transportation be placed on your County Commission
agenda at your earliest possible convenience to discuss the provisions of the law.
I have enclosed a copy of the state statute pertaining to the Coordinating Council.
Members of my staff or myself are available to meet with you prior to the Commis-
sion Meeting if you desire to discuss the legislation. If you have any questions
concerning the law or the arrangements for the meeting, please feel free to contact
me at (305) 524-8621.
Sincerely,
am .

MISS COCHRAN REPORTED THAT THE LAW REQUIRES THAT A FIVE
YEAR STATEWIDE DEVELOPMENT PLAN BE MAINTAINED. SHE EXPLAINED THAT THE
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED GROUP INCLUDES NOT ONLY THE ELDERLY AND
HANDICAPPED, BUT THE POOR ALSO. SHE THEN WENT ON TO DISCUSS THE PLAN
AND THE PLANNING BODY THAT MUST BE DESIGNATED AND STATED THAT HER
PURPOSE IN BEING HERE TODAY IS TO ASK THIS BOARD OR SOME OTHER BODY TO
ACCEPT THIS RESPONSIBILITY. SHE EXPLAINED THAT THIS BODY, OR PROVIDER,
SHALL BE THE SINGLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ALL AND CAN FUNCTION
EITHER AS AN INFORMATION REFERRAL SERVICE, AS A TRANSPORATION BROKER,
OR AS A TRANSPORTATION OPERATOR.

COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF WE ARE SUPPOSED TO SPEND SOME
MONEY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS.
MISS COCHRAN STATED THAT THE LEGISLATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY
FUNDS FOR THE PLANNING. IT IS ENVISIONED THE PLANNING CAN BE DONE
EITHER BY LOCAL PLANNING DEPARTMENTS OR REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS.
SHE NOTED THAT ALL THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS IN THE STATE ARE
AWARE OF THE LEGISLATION, AND THE DOT NOW IS CONTACTING THE REGIONAL
PLANNING COUNCILS AND NEGOTIATING WHAT THEY CAN DO AS A DEPARTMENT
TO CONTRIBUTE FINANCIALLY TO THESE PLANS.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL
HAS TO DEVELOP A REGIONAL PLAN, AND MISS COCHRAN STATED THAT THEY DO
NOT; THAT THERE WILL BE A STATEWIDE PLAN THAT WILL BE MADE UP OF PLANS
COMING FROM EACH COUNTY.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED AT WHAT LEVEL IS IT DETERMINED
THAT A PERSON IS DISADVANTAGED SO HE CAN BE INVOLVED IN THIS TRANS-
PORTATION.
MISS COCHRAN STATED THAT THEIR COUNSEL IS WORKING ON DEFI-
NITIONS, AND IT PROBABLY WILL BE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT S DEFINITION
OF LOW INCOME.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THERE WILL BE STATE FUNDS
AVAILABLE FOR OUR LOCAL PLAN, AND MISS COCHRAN STATED THAT THERE
ALREADY ARE FUNDS BEING EXPENDED IN THIS COUNTY AND THE PURPOSE OF
THIS PLAN IS TO ASSURE THAT THE MOST IS BEING GOTTEN FOR THIS MONEY.
SOME OF THESE FUNDS, FOR INSTANCE, ARE UNDER SEC. 16B2, THE PROGRAM
OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE PASSED
THIS LAW, AND BEFORE WE ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY, THEY WILL HAVE TO
TELL US WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM.
COMMISSIONER LYONS CONCURRED THAT HE ALSO WOULD HAVE NO
INTEREST IN THIS PROGRAM UNTIL WE KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM,
MISS COCHRAN EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THEY WILL GET
FUNDS FROM THE HIGHWAY PROGRAM TO DO THIS PLANNING. SHE NOTED THAT
IF THE COUNTY SHOULD CHOOSE NOT TO BE THE PLANNING BODY, THE DOT HAS
THE AUTHORITY TO DESIGNATE ANOTHER BODY.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT THE COUNCIL ON AGING, FOR
INSTANCE, HAS FUNDS FOR A LIFT VEHICLE AND ASKED IF THE COUNTY AS A
COORDINATING AUTHORITY WILL BE TELLING THEM HOW TO UTILIZE THEIR
VEHICLE.
MISS COCHRAN STATED THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN IS TO
OUTLINE HOW THE COUNTY WILL UTILIZE THESE VEHICLES AND TO GET ALL
THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN TRANSPORTING TOGETHER AND EVOLVE BETTER UTILIZA-
TION.
IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THIS WILL REQUIRE
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES AND MORE MONEY.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED THE PLANNING RESPONSIBILITY FOR
TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED ON THE BASIS THAT IT WILL BE ACTIVATED
AT SUCH TIME AS WE RECEIVE FUNDS FOR THIS PURPOSE THROUGH THE DOT,
THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THEREUPON RECESSED AT

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: County Administrator
moi X45 , PkcE 64
SUBJECT: Possible Sites for Humane Society Facility
ENCLOSURES: #1 - Map of Winter Beach Collection Station
#2 - Map of Oslo Landfill Site
#3 - Map of South Gifford Landfill Site
As directed by the Board of County Commissioners at their
September 24, 1980 meeting, I met with Barbara Nolte, President
of the Humane Society and Charlie Block, Architect concerning
possible building site for a future Humane Society Complex.
Three areas were considered. The Winter Beach Collection
Station, Oslo Landfill Site and the South Gifford Landfill Site.
These areas are discussed as follows:
1. Winter Beach Collection Station - This site is 19.7 Acres
and is zoned R1. This area has never been used as a landfill
and would be ideal except for the location. We do operate a
garbage collection station at this site. Mrs. Nolte felt it was
too far from the main population and would discourage the public
from utilizing the facility, see Enclosure 1.
2. Oslo Landfill Area - This area is 50.5 Acres and is
zoned R1. The landfill was closed August 15, 1977 and all dump
areas covered over. We do operate a collection station on part
of the area. Two possible sites were considered. Both have buried
garbage and would require either excavation or special building
procedures to provide a satisfactory foundation. The location in
reference to the main population is excellent and an all weather
marl road leading to the property is in existence, see Enclosure
2.
3. South Gifford Landfill - This site is 56.1 Acres and is
zoned LM1. The landfill was closed August 15, 1977 and all areas
covered. Mrs. Nolte was interested in an area just south of South
Gifford Road between the Road & Bridge Parking lot and the collec-
tion station. There is a strip approximately 75 yards wide that
does not have any garbage buried under the surface. Mr. Block
felt the building could be designed to take full advantage of
this solid ground and thereby save construction costs. This
property is in a location that is satisfactory to the Humane
Society and convenient to the public. An all weather road is
adjacent to the property. The close proximity of a residential
area, Palm Gardens, is a major disadvantage. This could be
minimized by locating the facility near the Road and Bridge
Parking Lot.
Further testing and exploration will be required to
determine the exact location and whether or not it is economi-
cally feasible to build. Rezoning may be a requirement since
two of the areas are zoned R1 and one LM1. Kennels and boarding
areas are allowed in agricultural zoned areas only.
If the Board would agree to a lease within a general area. the
Humane Society could conduct necessary detail testing and
designing of a site plan prior to drafting of the lease.

ADMINISTRATOR NELSON COMMENTED THAT ALL THESE SITES WOULD
REQUIRE REZONING TO EITHER M-1 OR AGRICULTURAL. HE NOTED THAT IF THE
BOARD WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM PROPERTY IN A GENERAL AREA, THEY COULD
GO BACK AND BE MORE SPECIFIC IN THEIR BORINGS, ETC., AND SEE WHERE
IT IS FEASIBLE TO BUILD. MR. NELSON RECOMMENDED THE SOUTH GIFFORD
ROAD SITE AS NUMBER ONE AND THE WINTER BEACH SITE AS NUMBER TWO.
MRS. NOLTE, PRESIDENT OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY, STATED THAT SHE
FELT THE SOUTH GIFFORD ROAD AREA IS CLOSER AND MORE SUITABLE. SHE
CONTINUED THAT SINCE THEY DO HAVE TO PUT SOME MONEY INTO SEEING WHETHER
THE LAND IS FEASIBLE TO BUILD ON, THEY FIRST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF
THE BOARD WOULD BE AGREEABLE TO A LEASING ARRANGEMENT.
COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE CERTAINLY WOULD VOTE FOR A
LONG TERM LEASING ARRANGEMENT AND WOULD HOPE THAT THE SOUTH GIFFORD
ROAD LOCATION WOULD BE SATISFACTORY SINCE IT IS A MORE CENTRAL LOCATION.
MRS. NOLTE NOTED THAT ANOTHER PROBLEM THERE IS THE REZONING
AND ANY OBJECTIONS THAT MIGHT COME WITH IT.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE WOULD ANTICIPATE THE COUNTY
WOULD INITIATE THE REZONING AND GET PUBLIC REACTION FIRST.
MRS. NOLTE FELT IT WAS LIKELY THERE WOULD BE MORE ADVERSE
REACTION AT THE SOUTH GIFFORD LOCATION, BUT COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED
THAT IS ALREADY ZONED LM -1, AND HE DID NOT FEEL THERE WOULD BE ANY
DIFFERENCE IN OBJECTIONS AT EITHER LOCATION,
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT WE SHOULD GO THROUGH REZONING FIRST,
BUT COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH
THE REZONING UNLESS WE ARE GOING TO USE THE SITE.
ARCHITECT CHARLES BLOCK INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE INVESTI-
GATION THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE IS NOT EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. HE COM-
MENTED THAT THERE IS EXISTING R-1 ZONING IN THE SOUTH GIFFORD AREA
VERSUS THE WINTER BEACH AREA AND NOTED THAT PHYSICALLY THE WINTER
BEACH PROPERTY IS BETTER SINCE THEY WOULD HAVE TO WORK WITHIN THE
RESTRAINT OF 75` AT SOUTH GIFFORD. HE FELT THEY NEED DIRECTION.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF LAND NEEDED,
AND MR. NELSON STATED THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING 5 TO 7 ACRES, AND THE
AREA ON SOUTH GIFFORD ROAD WAS FIVE ACRES.
COMMISSIONER VIODTKE ASKED ABOUT THE DISPOSITION OF ANIMAL
CARCASSES, AND MRS. NOLTE STATED THERE WOULD BE AN INCINERATOR ON
THE PROPERTY.
IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE BOARD GENERALLY AGREED THEY WOULD
SUPPORT THE SOUTH GIFFORD SITE. DISCUSSION THEN ENSUED ON AUTHORIZING
THE ATTORNEY TO ADVERTISE THE REZONING PENDING A FAVORABLE REPORT ON
THE SOIL BORINGS.
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS-
SIONER WODTKE, TO AUTHORIZE THE ATTORNEY TO ADVERTISE THE SOUTH GIFFORD
SITE FOR REZONING PENDING A FAVORABLE REPORT ON THE SOIL BORINGS.
MR. BLOCK ASKED IF THAT MEANT IF THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED
WITH THE SOUTH GIFFORD SITE, THEY CAN GO ON TO THE WINTER BEACH SITE,
AND COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HIS MOTION WAS BASED ON THE SOUTH
GIFFORD SITE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED IF THE BOARD WISHED THIS REZONING TO
BE A DIRECT COMMISSION ACTION OR WHETHER IT SHOULD GO THROUGH PLANNING
FIRST.
COMMISSIONER LOY FELT THE MORE GROUPS THAT ADDRESS THE SITUA-
TION, THE BETTER INFORMATION WE HAVE OUT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, AND IT
WAS GENERALLY FELT IT SHOULD GO THROUGH PLANNING FIRST.
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY WAS TALKING
ABOUT THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY BEING A FAIRGROUND, AND ASKED IF
THE BOARD WISHED TO REZONE THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY TO PERMIT
FAIRS AND CARNIVALS.
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, AND IT WAS THE GENERAL CONSENSUS OF THE
BOARD TO LEAVE THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY AS IT IS AND RESTRICT THE
REZONING TO THE FIVE ACRES.
COMMISSIONER LYONS SUGGESTED THAT WE SHOULD HAVE SOME IDEA
OF WHAT THE NEW SITE PLAN WILL LOOK LIKE AND THIS WOULD BE PART OF
SELLING THE REZONING.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED IN REGARD TO A SURVEY, AND ADMINISTRATOR
NELSON STATED THAT THIS IS WITHIN THE COUNTY'S PROPERTY AND WE CAN
TELL WHERE THE FIVE ACRES IS BUT IT WON'T BE A CERTIFIED SURVEY.

CHANGE ORDERS - RENOVATION COURTHOUSE & ADMIMINISTRATION BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE HERCULES KONTOULAS
CAME BEFORE THE BOARD TO REVIEW CHANGE OkbE-k #3 ON THE RENOVATION
OF THE COURTHOUSE. HE NOTED THAT THIS CHANGE ORDER CONTAINS SIX
ITEMS. ITEM I CONCERNS EXISTING EXHAUST LOUVERS THAT ARE NO LONGER
IN USE AND BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF NOISE, THESE ARE TO BE
CLOSED UP. MR. KONTOULAS RECOMMENDED THE APPROVAL OF THIS ITEM,
AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE CHANGE ORDER.
ITEM 2 CALLS FOR RELOCATING TOILETS FROM THE ORIGINAL PLANS.
THIS WAS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ONE OF JUDGE SMITH`S REQUEST LETTERS.
IN THE ORIGINAL PLANS, WE ALLOTTED NEW TOILETS FOR EACH JUDGE S OFFICE,
ONE RESTROOM FOR THE SECRETARIES, AND ONE FOR THE JURY ROOMS. THEY
REQUIRE TWO RESTROOMS FOR THE JURY ROOMS, AND THESE WERE MOVED BACK
TO BACK.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF THIS IS A VERY LARGE MATTER TO
THE CONTRACTOR, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT ACTUALLY IT IS CHEAPER
TO HAVE THE TOILETS BACK TO BACK.
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE CHARGES INVOLVED IN THIS CHANGE,
AND MR. KONTOULAS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE ORIGINAL COST FOR THE
CHANGE WAS AROUND $5,000, AND AFTER GOING OVER THIS THREE TIMES,
THEY HAVE GOTTEN THE COST DOWN TO $3,533.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED ON A CHARGE OF 4% FLORIDA
SALES TAX ON MATERIALS AND ASKED IF WE PAY SALES TAX ON MATERIALS
WE ARE PUTTING IN THE COURTHOUSE.
ADMINISTRATOR NELSON NOTED THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY IT
IF THE COUNTY WERE ITS OWN CONTRACTOR, BUT REINHOLD IS CHARGING US
FOR THE TAX HE HAS TO PAY.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE DID NOT FEEL THAT REINHOLD SHOULD HAVE
TO PAY THIS TAX WHEN BUYING FOR THE COUNTY; ATTORNEY COLLINS WAS OF
THE OPINION THAT IF THE CONTRACTOR HAS TO GQ IN THE MARKETPLACE
AND BUY, HE HAS TO PAY THE SALES TAX.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE WAS NOT CONVINCED AND REQUESTED THAT
THIS BE CHECKED INTO FURTHER.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT INQUIRED ABOUT THE CHANGE IN DIMENSIONS
NOTED IN ITEM 2 OF CHANGE ORDER 3.
AM
MR. KONTOULAS EXPLAINED THAT THE ORIGINAL DIMENSION BETWEEN
THE CIRCUIT JUDGES' OFFICES AND THEIR SECRETARIES' AREA DID NOT
ALLOW ENOUGH ROOM FOR SECRETARIES AND FILES; SO, THE JUDGES' WALLS
WERE MOVED BACK Z'. THIS ACTUALLY WAS DONE PRIOR TO THIS APPROVAL.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE BOARD
SHOULD NOT APPROVE THIS CHANGE, AND THE ATTORNEY STATED THAT THE CON-
TRACTOR WOULD HAVE TO MOVE THE WALL BACK AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.
MR, KONTOULAS CONTINUED THAT THIS MOVE INVOLVED SOME
CAHNGES IN THE CEILINGS, AND SOME ACOUSTICAL AND ELECTRICAL WORK.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE QUESTIONED $75.00 FOR SMALL TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT, AND MR. KONTOULAS NOTED THAT THERE ARE A MULTITUDE OF
SMALL TOOLS THIS COULD BE, AND HE DID NOT CHECK ON THIS DOWN TO THE
LAST DETAIL.
DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO THE RELOCATION OF THE
TOILETS, AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF WE WILL GET SOME CREDIT BE-
CAUSE BACK TO BACK IS CHEAPER.
MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT WE WILL RECEIVE SOME CREDIT ON
THE CEILINGS.
COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THIS WALL WAS IN A DIFFERENT
PLACE ON THE ORIGINAL PLAN, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT IT IS A
BRAND NEW WALL.
COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED WHY WE SHOULD PAY TO CHANGE IT
WHEN IT WASN'T ON THE ORIGINAL PLAN, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT
IT WAS CONSTRUCTED WHEN THIS CHANGE CAME ABOUT. THE CONTRACTOR DID
THE CHANGE HIMSELF. COMMISSIONER LYONS STILL DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE
ADDITIONAL COST FOR THE WALL WHEN IT WAS NEVER BUILT BEFORE, AND
MR. KONTOULAS EXPLAINED THAT IT RESULTED IN A CHANGE OF SOME OF THE
CEILINGS.
DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN DETAIL ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE
JUDGES APPROVED THE ORIGINAL PLAN AND THEN REQUESTED THIS CHANGE,
AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT WISHED TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE JUDGES
DID NOT LIKE THE WALL AGAIN. HE FELT ANY REQUESTS FOR CHANGES IN
THE DESIGN SHOULD BE MADE TO THE BOARD.
IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS FELT THE BOARD HAD PREVIOUSLY
AGREED TO SOME CHANGES REQUESTED BY THE JUDGES. COMMISSIONER WODTKE
OCT 2 21980 61 Booz' - 45 PAGE, f 1
OCT 2 21-990 Boos 45 PAu 62
NOTED THAT WE JUST HAVE TO DEPEND ON MR. KONTOULAS TO SCRUTINIZE
THESE CHANGE ORDERS AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE. HE POINTED OUT THAT THIS
ALREADY HAS BEEN REWORKED THREE TIMES.
MR. KONTOULAS WENT ON TO REVIEW ITEM 3, NOTING THAT AT THE
NORTH END OF THE COURTHOUSE THERE ARE TWO ABANDONED VENTS AND A HOUSING,
WHICH ACTUALLY ARE NOTHING BUT CARDBOARD, AND HE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
THAT THIS BE REMOVED; IT IS AN OLD EXHAUST SYSTEM; WE GET PIGEONS
WAY BACK INSIDE IT; IT IS HINDERING OUR ROOFING AND IS A WATER PROBLEM.
MR. KONTOULAS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT ITEM 4 IS IN RESPONSE
TO A LETTER WRITTEN BY JUDGE SMITH AND IS ZERO COST. IN REGARD TO
ITEM 5, HE NOTED THAT JUDGE STIKELEYHER WANTED A GLASS PANEL DOOR
REPLACED WITH WOOD, BUT IT WAS COSTLY AND HE, THEREFORE, REQUESTED
THAT THE ARCHITECT DELETE THIS ITEM BECAUSE OF THE COST. HE CONTINUED
THAT ITEM 6 INVOLVES THE ROOF ON THE NORTH END OF THE COURT; THERE
IS FROM 6" TO 8" OF WATER UNDERNEATH THE ROOF IN THIS AREA. MR.
KONTOULAS STATED THEY CAME UP WITH TWO ALTERNATIVES AND DECIDED TO
GO WITH THE SECOND, WHICH IS TO REMOVE THE EXISTING INSULATION AND
ROOFING AND REPLACE IT WITH THE 2" INSULATION WE HAVE AT THE ADMINIS-
TRATION BUILDING AND NEW ROOFING AND GRAVEL. HE NOTED THAT THIS
ROOF WAS IN SUCH BAD CONDITION THATiWE COULD NOT -INSTALL. ALUMINUM OVER
THE SPONGY ROOF.
COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF ALL THIS WATER IS SOAKED UP IN.
THE OLD INSULATION, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT IT IS, AND SOME
HAS FOUND ITS WAY INTO THE COMMISSION ROOM, WHICH IS WHY THE WALLPAPER
WAS PEELING OFF THE WALL.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
LOY; THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED CHANGE ORDER NUMBER 3 FOR THE

HOLD UP CONSTRUCTION ON THE COURTHOUSE, AND MR. KONTOULAS REPORTED
THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN REQUESTED FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME SO FAR.
COMMISSIONER LYONS AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT TALKED ABOUT DELAYS
AND THE COST OF KEEP PERSONNEL IN RENTAL OFFICES. COMMISSIONER LYONS
SUGGESTED THAT IF MR. KONTOULAS HAS A CRITICAL CHANGE ORDER READY,
THE BOARD SHOULD CALL A SPECIAL MEETING SO WE DONT HOLD UP THE
ARCHITECT.
MR. KONTOULAS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT ANY CHANGE ORDER
PRESENTED HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH THE'ARCHITECT AND CONTRACTOR AND
POSSIBLY CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES. IF ANY OF THESE CHANGES HAVE CAUSED
ADDITIONAL TIME, THE CONTRACTOR WILL ASK FOR IT AT THE COMPLETION
OF THE JOB. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY DETERMINATION OF ANY POSSIBLE TIME
EXTENSION RIGHT NOW AND DON T WANT TO GIVE THEM AN OPEN OPTION ON
EXTENSION.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS REPORTED THAT AT THE
NEXT MEETING HE WILL HAVE A COMPLETELY UP TO DATE FINANCIAL REPORT
ON THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.
CHANGE ORDER #IO ON THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING WAS
NEXT REVIEWED. MR. KONTOULAS FELT THESE CHANGES ON THE SECOND FLOOR
WERE DUE TO LACK OF INVESTIGATION DURING THE FIRST STAGE BECAUSE
THESE MATTERS WERE BROUGHT TO THE ARCHITECT `S ATTENTION BUT WERE
NEVER FULLY INVESTIGATED. HE RECOMMENDED THAT CHANGE ORDER #.{10 BE
APPROVED.
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMIS-
SIONER WODTKE, TO APPROVE ALL SIX ITEMS ON CHANGE ORDER #10 RE THE
COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $40,789.47.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE STATEMENT ON ITEM 0
THAT IT WAS ANTICIPATED THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH ELECTRIC COMPANY
WOULD DO THE WORK, AND MR. KONTOULAS STATED THAT SOMEHOW THE ARCHI-
TECT'S MISTAKENLY HAD THE CONCEPTION THAT THE CITY WOULD DO THIS
WORK AND THAT IS WHY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED AT THE TIME OF BIDDING.
ITEM 2, WHICH IS IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT ON THE SECOND FLOOR ALSO
WAS NOT IN THE PLANS AT THE TIME OF BIDDING. ITEM 3 IS A DRY GOODS
STORAGE ROOM, WHICH WAS REQUESTED FOR APPLIANCE STORAGE IN THE
EMPLOYEES LOUNGE. ITEM 4 ARE ITEMS IN THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S
AREA WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY ON THEIR PRINT TO BE INCORPORATED IN
THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS, AND THEY WERE LEFT OUT. MR. KONTOULAS
CONTINUED THAT HE FELT ITEM 5 IS IMPORTANT AS IT RELATES TO THE AIR
CONDITIONING AND PROVIDING A WAY TO BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE FILTERS.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
SUMMARY OF CHANGE ORDER 10, COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING,
IS HEREBY MADE A PART OF THE MINUTES, THE REMAINDER OF THE DOCUMENT
BEING ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK.

UTILITY DIRECTOR GEORGE LINER INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS
AN EXERPT FROM A REPORT BY ENGINEER JOHN ROBBINS ON THE STATUS OF
THE GIFFORD AREA SEWAGE IMPROVEMENTS. THE FINAL PLAN AND SPECS FOR
THE REDESIGN OF THE GIFFORD SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT AND ASSOCIATED
WORK ARE BEING PREPARED IN VERO BEACH. THE ANTICIPATED COMPLETION
DATE IS OCTOBER 27TH. MR. LINER COMMENTED THAT AT THE LAST MEETING,
THE BOARD DID AUTHORIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF NEGOTIATING THE CONTRACT
RATHER THAN REBIDDING FOR THIS PROJECT BECAUSE WE HAVE A DEADLINE TO
MEET, AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING IN THAT DIRECTION. HE CONTINUED
THAT SOME SUPPLEMENTARY WORK WAS DONE FOR CONSIDERATION AS TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF LOOKING INTO COSTS FOR SEWER SERVICE TO GEOFFREY'S
SUBDIVISION AND THE MIDDLE 6 AND 7 SCHOOLS.
COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
REGAN WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HOOK THE GEOFFREY SUBDI-
VISION INTO THE CITY OF VERO BEACH SYSTEM, BUT BECAUSE OF PAST
HISTORY, HE SUGGESTED THAT THEY LOOK INTO PUTTING IT IN THE GIFFORD
SYSTEM.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE BROUGHT UP THE POSSIBILITY, IF WE WERE
TO BE FUNDED IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM, OF
CHECKING INTO WHETHER THAT WOULD BE PERMISSIBLE FUNDING AND WHETHER
THE COST OF THE LINE DOWN U.S.1 MIGHT BE A LEGITIMATE COST. HE
NOTED THE PROGRAM HAS COSTS SET ASIDE FOR WATER SERVICE, AND WHILE
THE GEOFFREY SUBDIVISION HAS WATER SERVICE, THEY DONT HAVE SEWER
SERVICE.
MR. LINER INFORMED THE.BOARD THAT THE INFORMATION FROM
ENGINEER ROBBINS' REPORT WAS GIVEN TO COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
REGAN, BUT HE DECIDED THE COST WOULD BE PROHIBITIVE.
ENGINEER ROBBINS REPORTED THAT HE DID PREPARE A PRELIMINARY
DESIGN TO INSTALL A COLLECTION SYSTEM, PUMPING STATION, ETC., AS
CALLED FOR IN THE 201 PROGRAM, IN GEOFFREY SUBDIVISION; THERE ARE ABOUT
177 HOMES IN THAT AREA, AND THE FIGURE WAS IN EXCESS OF $550,000.
THE MAJORITY OF THE COST INVOLVED WAS IN THE FORCE MAIN ITSELF, WHICH
WAS ABOUT 11,000' LONG.
OCT 2 2 1980

BOOK 45 pAcc 68
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS NOTED THAT ALTHOUGH
THE COST MAY BE EXCESSIVE, IF YOU COST IT INTO THE GIFFORD SYSTEM,
HE FELT THERE MAY BE FUNDS AVAILABLE FROM FMHA ITSELF, AND IT COULD
BECOME AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR OVERALL 20 MILLION GRANT.
ENGINEER ROBBINS AGREED THAT THERE COULD BE SOME OF THE
CONTINGENCY FUNDS LEFT OVER, AND THERE ALSO ARE PROJECT FUNDS LEFT
OVER. HIS ESTIMATION WAS THAT THERE WILL BE ABOUT $1.80,000 IN
CONTINGENCY, AND SOME OF THOSE FUNDS COULD BE USED TO OFFSET THE
COST UNDER A HUD BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT IT IS ALL TAX MONEY, AND
HE WAS NOT SURE THAT WE SHOULDNIT WAIT ON THAT AND USE SEPTIC TANKS
UNTIL THE NORTH COUNTY PLANT GOES IN.
COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT IF WE CAN PUT IN A PART OF
WHAT WE HAVE GOT FIGURED AS A PART OF THE 201 FACILITIES PLAN, MAYBE
WE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT OPPORTUNITY. IF THIS IS NOT PART
OF A TOTAL INTEGRATED PLAN, COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED THAT THE COST
IS EXCESSIVE TO SPEND FOR A SMALL SUBDIVISION.
ENGINEER ROBBINS CONTINUED DISCUSSING TRYING TO TI -E THIS
IN WITH THE 201 PLAN AND POSSIBLY WORKING WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT,
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT FEEL THE BOARD WOULD WANT TO GIVE
DIRECTION TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE COMMUNITY BLOCK DEVELOPMENT PREAPPLI-
CATION BECAUSE IT WOULD AMOUNT TO OVER 1/3 OF THE FUNDS REQUESTED.
THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR CONCURRED THAT THIS WOULD MUDDY
UP THE APPLICATION AND THAT ANY SOLUTION WOULD BE THROUGH FMHA. THE
BOARD AGREED THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE TIED IN WITH THE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION.
ENGINEER ROBBINS THEN DISCUSSED COST SHARING PROGRAMS, PART
THROUGH HUD AND PART THROUGH FMHA. HE STATED THAT IF THE BOARD DE-
SIRED, HE COULD MAKE SOME INQUIRIES THROUGH VARIOUS FUNDING PROGRAMS
TO FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY FUNDS AVAILABLE,
DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO THE FACT THAT $500,000 TO ADD 177
FAMILIES TO THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT BE COST EFFECTIVE, BUT IF THIS WERE
PART OF AN OVERALL PLAN, THEN THE MONEY MIGHT NOT BE WASTED AND IT
WOULD NOT HURT TO MAKE FURTHER INQUIRIES.
68
VARIOUS WATER & WASTEWATER SERVICE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN CITY OF VERO
BEACH AND THE COUNTY
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT REMARKED THAT THE ONE THING THAT BOTHERS
HIM IN REVIEWING ALL THE VARIOUS AGREEMENTS IS THE REQUIREMENT TO
PUT A MORATORIUM ON CONNECTIONS WHEN THE CITY SAYS THEY RUN OUT OF
CONNECTIONS. HE FELT THAT IS NOT UNREASONABLE IF THEY RUN OUT OF
CONNECTIONS FOR EVERYBODY, INCLUDING THE CITY OF VERO BEACH.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IN EVERY AGREEMENT THEY HAVE
PROVISIONS RECOGNIZING THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH DOES HAVE CAPACITY
LIMITATIONS BUT CITY AND COUNTY CUSTOMERS WILL BE TREATED THE SAME,
AND HE WOULD NOT THINK THAT A MORATORIUM WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR
UNINCORPORATED COUNTY CUSTOMERS UNLESS THERE WAS A CORRESPONDING
CURTAILMENT WITHIN THE CITY OF VERO BEACH.
ATTORNEY COLLINS SUMMARIZED THE CHAIRMAN'S CONCERN AS TO
EACH AGREEMENT, NOTING THAT ON THE SOUTH BEACH WATER SERVICE, IT
DOESN'T APPLY, AND ON THE SOUTH BEACH WASTEWATER SERVICE, THE SOUTH
COUNTY MAINLAND WASTEWATER SERVICE, AND ON THE MID FLORIDA SERVICE
AREA WATER AGREEMENTS, IT DOESN'T APPLY EITHER BECUASE THERE IS A
LIMITED CAPACITY; S0, WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN THIS CONCERN, IS
THE NORTH COUNTY MAINLAND WATER SERVICE AGREEMENT WHERE THE CITY
IS WHOLESALING WATER TO US, IN THAT AGREEMENT, WE HAVE A CAPACITY
LIMITATION OF 700,000 GALLONS PER DAY, ATTORNEY COLLINS WAS NOT
OVERLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHAIRMAN'S CONCERN BECAUSE HE FELT WE
HAVE OUR OWN BUILT-IN LIMITATIONS. HE NOTED IN THEIR DISCUSSIONS
THAT PROVISION WAS THOUGHT OF IN TERMS OF SOME SHORT TERM CRISIS
THAT MIGHT ARISE AND THEN THE FEELING WAS THAT EVERYBODY WOULD BE
TREATED INFORMALLY AND EQUALLY. THE CONTRACT THAT HAS THE GREATEST,
FREEDOM IS THE SOUTH BEACH WATER SERVICE AGREEMENT WHICH LIMITS THE
CAPACITY TO THE SIZE OF THE LINE; EVERY OTHER AGREEMENT HAS A TOP
CEILING. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT HIS COMMENTS ARE NOT ADDRESSED
TO THE TOWN, CITY,COUNTY SEWER AGREEMENT, WHICH HE FELT SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED SEPARATELY.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE COMMENTED THAT THESE AGREEMENTS REPRESENT
A TREMENDOUS TASK AND THERE A LOT OF CROSS REFERENCES, WHICH HE ASSUMED
HAVE BEEN CHECKED CLOSELY TO SEE THAT THEY DO NOT CONFLICT.

ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THERE ARE SOME
CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE SOUTH BEACH WASTEWATER AGREEMENT AND THE UNDER-
LYING 1973 AGREEMENT. HE STATED THAT HE HAS ALWAYS TAKEN THE
POSITION THAT THE CITY HAD ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SEWER SERVICE
ON THE SOUTH BEACH, AND BY THIS NEW AGREEMENT, WE ARE LIMITING THAT
RESPONSIBILITY TO 600,000 GPD. THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT THE
PHILOSOPHY OF THE CITY NOT EXPANDING THEIR TREATMENT FACILITY ABOVE
A CERTAIN LEVEL HAS BEEN ACCEPTED, AND THE 600,000 GPD ALLOCATED
IN THE MID FLORIDA AREA WILL BE SWUNG OVER TO THE BEACH. ANOTHER
REASON FOR ACCEPTING THIS IS THAT THE'SOUTH BEACH IS TO BE DEVELOPED
ON A SINGLE FAMILY BASIS PRIMARILY, WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF THE
MOORINGS. IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT THE MOORINGS WILL HAVE A RE-
QUIREMENT OVER 600,000 GPD, AND IF THEY D0, IT IS UP TO THEM TO
RESOLVE THAT, AS TO THE CROSS REFERENCES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS AGREE-
MENTS, ATTORNEY COLLINS CONFIRMED THAT THESE HAVE BEEN CHECKED CAREFULLY
COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT ATTORNEY COLLINS HAS
UNDERTAKEN A GARGANTUAN TASK AND DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB OF UNTANGLING
THIS MAZE OF AGREEMENTS.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED IF THE SOUTH BEACH WATER LIMITATION
IS THE DESIGNED CAPACITY OF THE LINE THAT IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED, AND
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT IT IS AND EXPLAINED THAT MR. ROBBINS
WILL DESIGN A LINE THAT ANTICIPATES MEETING THE ENTIRE SOUTH REACH
REQUIREMENTS ON A SINGLE FAMILY BASIS.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT QUESTIONED WHETHER THE CAPACITY LIMITATION
IS THE CAPACITY OF THE LINE OR THE CITY`S CAPACITY TO SERVE, NOTING
THAT PARAGRAPH % OF THE SOUTH BEACH WATER AGREEMENT CALLS FOR A
MORATORIUM ON CONNECTIONS IF THE CITY DECIDES THEY CANNOT PROVIDE
FURTHER WATER DUE TO CAPACITY LIMITATIONS. HE WISHED TO KNOW IF THIS
COULD RELATE TO THEIR CAPACITY TO PROVIDE FROM THEIR WELLFIELDS.
ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT PARAGRAPH 3 STATES THAT
THE CITY ACCEPTS THIS AREA UP TO THE CAPACITY LIMITS OF THE WATER
TRANSMISSION LINE TO BE INSTALLED BY THE COUNTY. HE CONTINUED THAT
THERE ORIGINALLY WERE REFERENCES IN THE PRIOR DRAFTS TO CAPACITY
LIMITATIONS BACK TO THE WELLFIELDS, BUT ALL THOSE REFERENCES ARE
DELETED FROM THIS CONTRACT.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT THE COUNTY IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR RAISING THE NECESSARY FUNDS TO COMPLETE THE 24" LINE AND ASKED
IF WE HAVE REASONABLE ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN GET THAT LINE PAID FOR.
ATTORNEY COLLINS ANSWERED THAT WE HAVE NO REASONABLE ASSUR-
ANCE RIGHT NOW; WE HAVE A NUMBER OF AVENUES THAT ARE AVAILABLE, BUT
IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RAISE THE FUNDS THROUGH THOSE AVENUES, THEN
THE LINE JUST DOESN'T GET CONSTRUCTED. CONCEPTUALLY WHAT HE HAD IN
MIND IS TRYING TO RAISE THE SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE MONIES FROM
EAST CAUSEWAY BOULEVARD TO SOUTH OF THE MOORINGS THROUGH DEVELOPER
CONTRIBUTIONS, AND HE NOTED THAT $100,000 ALREADY HAS BEEN PAID INTO
ACCOUNT BY CASTAWAY COVE. SOUTH OF THE MOORINGS, WE HAVE THE SOUTH
BEACH MUNICIPAL SERVICE DISTRICT, AND HE ENVISIONED SOME SORT OF
ASSESSMENT BOND WILL BE LAUNCHED IN THAT AREA AND FELT IT IS FORE-
SEEABLE THAT PART OF THE FUNDS RAISED IN THAT AREA SHOULD PAY PART OF
THE COSTS FURTHER NORTH.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT THEN DISCUSSED THE NEED FOR A 24" LINE,
AND ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT PARAGRAPH 3 REFERRED TO AN "APPROXI-
MATE DIAMETER OF 24"; COMMISSIONER LYONS CONFIRMED THAT THEY JUST
USED 24" TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM THE EXISTING LINE.
DISCUSSION CONTINUED REGARDING DESIGN OF THE LINE AND HOW
THE SIZE WILL BE DETERMINED, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT ENGINEER
ROBBINS WILL DESIGN THE LINE TO MEET ULTIMATE DENSITY AND WILL SUBMIT
IT TO THE CITY FOR APPROVAL; IT HAS TO BE BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE FELT THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENT UTILIZA-
TION OF CAPACITY BETWEEN SINGLE FAMILY AND MULTIPLE FAMILY, AND CHAIR-
MAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT THIS LAND IS ALREADY PLATTED AND SOME CONTRACTORS
BELIEVE A 24" LINE SIMPLY ISN'T NECESSARY.
COMMISSIONER LYONS POINTED OUT THAT RATHER THAN HAVE THE
DEVELOPER FIGURE ON A 6" LINE, FOR INSTANCE, THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE
THEM LOOK AT THE MAXIMUM, AND THEN IF IT IS LESS, PEOPLE WILL BE
HAPPIER. HE AGREED THAT WE DON'T WANT TO OVERDESIGN BECAUSE THE
MORE IT COSTS, THE MORE DIFFICULT IT IS TO FINANCE. COMMISSIONER
LYONS CONTINUED THAT HE BELIEVED THESE AGREEMENTS WILL DO MORE TO
BRING ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THAN ANYTHING WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST.
HE NOTED THAT A LOT OF THINGS HAVE BEEN THRASHED OUT AND THERE ARE
SOME CHANGES OVER WHAT WAS NEGOTIATED IN 1.973,

ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THAT THE SOUTH BEACH WATER AGREEMENT
REPRESENTS A MAJOR CHANGE IN THE POSITION OF THE CITY OF VERO BEACH
AS OF ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO.
CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT AGREE, BUT FELT IT IS A REVERSION
TO THE ORIGINAL THINKING WAY BACK.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE BELIEVED IT IS LOGICAL FOR SERVICES
TO BE PROVIDED FROM THE FACILITIES THAT ARE OVER THERE, AND HE DID
NOT SEE HOW THE COUNTY COULD GET INTO THE POSITION TO OFFER THESE
SERVICES AT ANYWHERE NEAR AS ECONOMICAL A COST.
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT -BACK IN 1973 WHEN WE SIGNED
THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE PLANNING TO FALL BACK
ON, AND SHE BELIEVED WE HAVE HAD THE BENEFIT OF CONSIDERABLE EXPERI-
ENCE AND THAT ATTORNEY COLLINS AND COMMISSIONER LYONS, ALONG WITH
THE'CITY COUNCIL, HAVE GONE TO GREAT LENGTHS TO BRING ABOUT THE BEST
WAY TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE ABILITY TO SERVE NOW
IN THE NORTH COUNTY MAINLAND WATER SERVICE AREA. HE NOTED THE NEW
AGREEMENT CALLS FOR 700,000 GPD.
ATTORNEY COLLINS FELT THE 700,000 IS A REALLY RELIABLE
FIGURE. HE NOTED THAT IF THE HOSPITAL WATER SUPPLY WERE TO DECREASE
100,000 GPD AS THE SEWER HAS, THAT PROBABLY WOULD FREE UP ANOTHER
100,000 GPD IN WATER.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THAT AUTOMATICALLY WOULD GO
TO THE NORTH COUNTY MAINLAND SERVICE AREA, AND THE ATTORNEY DID NOT
BELIEVE SO BUT FELT IT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO OTHER DISCUSSIONS.
COMMISSIONER LYONS FELT THAT COMMISSIONER WODTKE HAD
RAISED A GOOD POINT AND THAT MAYBE WE OUGHT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
POSSIBILITY - NOT AS A PART OF THESE AGREEMENTS, BUT JUST AS PART
OF A REVIEW OF OUR POSITION.
ENGINEER ROBBINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE ABILITY TO
SERVE IN THE NORTH COUNTY WOULD BE LIMITED BY THE 550 GALLON PER
MINUTE FLOW RATE WE ARE LIMITED TO BY A PRESSURE DEVICE ON THE
PUMP STATION.
7j= ;m
ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT CAN BE MODIFIED, AND ENGINEER
ROBBINS AGREED THAT IT CAN BE UNDER THE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, IF
IT IS MUTUALLY AGREEABLE.
ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT UNDER THE AGREEMENT WE HAVE
A CAPACITY CHARGE OF 500,000 SO THAT WE ARE NOT CARRYING THE FULL
CAPACITY CHARGE, BUT WHEN IHE WATER NEEDS IN THE GIFFORD AREA EXCEED
THE 500,000, WE THEN WILL PAY AN INCREASED CAPACITY CHARGE AND WILL
BE ABLE TO OBTAIN WATER UP TO A PEAK OF 700,000 CPD.
ENGINEER ROBBINS NOTED THAT WE WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE PUMP
CONTROL DEVICE IN ORDER TO DO THAT, AND COMMISSIONER LYONS POINTED
OUT THAT THE AGREEMENT DOESNIT CONSTRAIN US, JUST THE PHYSICAL DEVICE.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF
VERO BEACH RE SOUTH BEACH WASTEWATER SERVICE AND AUTHORIZED THE
SIGNATURE OF THE CHAIRMAN.
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
WODTKE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF
VERO BEACH RE SOUTH BEACH WATER SERVICE AND AUTHORIZED THE SIGNATURE

Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF
VERO BEACH RE NORTH COUNTY MAINLAND WATER SERVICE AND AUTHORIZED THE
SIGNATURE OF THE CHAIRMAN.
SAID AGREEMENTS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK,
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS-
SIONER WODTKE, TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF VERO BEACH
RE SOUTH COUNTY MAINLAND WASTEWATER SERVICE AND AUTHORIZE THE SIGNATURE
OF THE CHAIRMAN.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE REQUESTED A QUICK REVIEW OF THIS AGREEMENT,
ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THIS DEALS WITH WASTE WATER.
WE HAVE TAKEN THE 600,000 GPD PREVIOUSLY ALLOCATED TO MID FLORIDA AND
PUT THAT AS A CAPACITY FOR SEWAGE TREATMENT IN THIS AREA, IT IS A
WHOLESALE CONTRACT WHEREBY WE BUY FROM THE CITY AND SELL RETAIL TO
THE USERS. WE HAVE INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT THE VERO MALL AND VARIOUS
OCT 2 2 19 80 Bask 45 PAGE 74
DEVELOPMENTS NOW GOING UP ON 6TH AVENUE. THIS CONTRACT IS OPEN
ENDED IN THAT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE WHOLESALE RATES FOR SEWAGE
ARE GOING TO BE AT THE PLANT; THAT NUMBER IS LEFT OUT. WE HAVE
AGREED TO CONTINUE AS HAS BEEN CHARGED, AND WHEN THE STUDY COMES
IN, THE COUNTY WILL BE NOTIFIED, THE CITY WILL ESTABLISH THE RATES
BY ORDINANCE, AND THEY WILL BE PLUGGED INTO THE AGREEMENT, TO PRO-
VIDE SOME SAFEGUARDS, WE HAVE AGREED THAT THE CITY WILL USE COMMONLY
ACCEPTED STANDARDS IN ARRIVING AT WHOLESALE WASTEWATER RATES; THEY
WILL BE ARRIVED AT IN THE SAME FORMAT AND FASHION USING A FORMULA
CONSISTENT WITH RATES ESTABLISHED FOR RETAIL; AND IN NO EVENT WILL
THE RATE EXCEED THE $1.10 PRESENTLY BEING USED. IT IS INTENDED WHEN
THE COUNTY HAS ITS OWN SEWAGE TREATMENT AND IS TREATING THIS AREA, THEN
THE 600,000 HERE WILL FLIP-FLOP OVER TO THE SOUTH BEACH.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
SAID AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK.
MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS-
SIONER Loy, TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF VERO BEACH
RE MID -FLORIDA SERVICE AREA AND AUTHORIZE THE SIGNATURE OF THE CHAIRMAN.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS AGREEMENT WITH
THE CITY ON MID FLORIDA WATER SERVICE, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT
THIS AGREEMENT TAKES THE PLACE OF THE OTHER AGREEMENT.
COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THERE ARE ANY BASIC STIPULATIONS
IN THE UTILIZATION OF THE WATER, I.E., THAT WE CANNOT USE IT UNLESS
WE ALSO PROVIDE SEWER SERVICE. ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THERE IS NO
SUCH RESTRICTION. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT SPECIAL CUSTOMERS
SUCH AS THE VERO MALL, AND CITY FINANCE DIRECTOR MASON NOTED THAT VERO
MALL IS A RETAIL WATER CUSTOMER OF THE CITY.
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THIS AGREEMENT HAS A LIMITATION
OF TWO AND A HALF YEARS. WE ARE SUPPLYING THE VERO MALL WITH SEWER
SERVICE, BUT NOT WATER. IF THE COUNTY WANTED THE MALL FOR A FUTURE
CUSTOMER, THEY WOULD HAVE TO NEGOTIATE THAT LATER. HE POINTED OUT THAT
THE WATER AVAILABILITY FOR THIS AREA FOR THE NEXT 2-1/2 YEARS IS NOT
THAT GREAT; WE ALREADY HAVE HAD ONE PEAK LOAD OF OVER 400,000 GPD,
AND THAT DOES NOT LEAVE MUCH TO GET NEW CUSTOMERS.
