Davis, P.E. , Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS S DATE: August 9, 1982 FI LE: Agenda August 18, 1982 SUBJECT: Request for Release of Maintenance Bond - Colonial Heights Subdivision REFERENCES: Paul M. Trodglen to Board of County Commissioners dated August 2, 1982 During the July 15, 1982, regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, Final Plat Approval was granted to Colonial Heights Subdivision subject to the developer, Frank Zorc, posting an $8,780 maintenance bond to cover removing of cleared material, installation of traffic control signs, and germination of grass seed in the swales. Since that approval, the cleared material has been removed, traffic control signs were installed, and in March, 1982, the Board approved release of $5,780 to Mr. Zorc for these items. Seeding germination had not yet been complete in March, 1982, and $3000 was retained by the County. At this time the owner, Frank Zorc, and contractor, Trodglen Paving, Inc. are requesting release of the $3000 seeding maintenance bond. ALTERNATIVE AND ANALYSIS Inspection of the subdivision on July 12, 1982, by the Public Works Depart- ment staff revealed that seeding has substantially germinated. Minor problems exist in the right-of-ways, including headwall construction, grading work, and reseeding. On the referenced letter from Trodglen Paving, Mr. Zorc had stated that he would be responsible for regrading and seeding as the lots are built upon. The following alternatives are presented: Alternative No. 1 Release to Trodglen Paving, Inc. the $3000 maintenance bond (Mr. Zorc has assigned this money to Trodglen Paving via the statement.dated April 28, 1982). By conditions of the subdivision ordinance, Mr. Zorc would be responsible for maintaining swales and all improvements for a one (1) year period after this release. Mr. Zorc has agreed to regrade swales, sod right-of-way, and main- tain all right-of-ways until the lots are developed. The impact this alter- native would have on County Road and Bridge Operations would be minimal. The roads would not be eligible for acceptance by the County until August, 1983. Alternative No. 2 Deny release of the $3000 bond. Trodglen Paving, Inc., would not be paid the $3.000 amount for work which they have performed. RECONAIENDATIONS AND FUNDING It is recommended that a motion be made to release the $3000 bond for Colonial Heights -Subdivision subject to the following: 1) The developer shall be required to maintain in good condition all improvements required to be placied on the land pursuant to the Sub- division Ordinance for a period of one(1) year from the date of the ,release of the subject $3000. 2.) Road maintenance acceptance by the County shall not be approved until action by the Board of County Commissioners. 3) As the lots are developed, the entire width of right-of-way between pavement and property line will be re -worked including proper grading, sodding, etc. Funding to be from the County's Escrow account.

The request has been reviewed by Southern Bell, Florida Power & Light, Florida Cablevision, and the Utility and Right -of -Way Departments. The Zoning staff's analysis, which includes a site visit, showed that drainage would be adequately handled by the existing front and rear swales.

After site inspection by Zoning Inspector Betty Davis, it is the Zoning Department's opinion that to release the North 8 foot of the rear lot 10 foot easement and to release the side lot 5 foot easement of Lot 1, Block E, Moreland Subdivision, would allow Mr. Bartsch to erect his fence as was granted after his appeal to the Board or County Commissioners on June 16, 1982, by unanimous vote.

DER Permit Applications The Board reviewed the following memorandum .from Public Works Director Davis: _ _20 TO: The Honorable Members of the Board of County Commissioners THRU: Dr: C.B. HarA, Jr. PhD Acting County Administrator DATE: August 11, 1982 FILE: SUBJECT: DER Permit Applications - Request for County Comment /T U FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.' REFERENCES: Jeremy A. Craft, Administrator, DER Public {Yorks Director, Permitting Section, to Indian River County Board of County Commissioners dated July 12, 1982 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Section 253.125, Florida Statutes, now requires the DER to request comments on applications for fill in navigable waters from local governments within 10 days of receipt of an application. The local government, or county, then has 60 days to comment or object to the application. Attached to the above subject letter from the DER, three applications were sent for County Comment. These applications are 1) Application to dredge the Sebastian Inlet Sand Trap and deposit material on 2,400 feet of the Sebastian Inlet State Park Beach by Sebastian Inlet District. 2) Application to excavate 900,000 c.y. of material in T31S, 834,35, and 36E - Rollins Blue Cypress Ranch, located west and north of Blue Cypress Lake, Osceola and Indian River Counties, for Citrus Grove Production. 3) Application to replace approximately 602 l.f. of seawall along Marsh Island including Floating Dock. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The County Public Works Department, Community Development Department, and Urban Forester have reviewed the Applications. The following comments are applicable: Application No. 1 - Sebastian Inlet As this work is for maintenance dredging, no adverse comments are noted. Application No. 2 - Rollins Blue Cypress Ranch A portion of existing citrus area is located in the St. John's Marsh north of Blue Cypress Lake. An extensive drainage network and pumping station is proposed on land to the west. This work will change the natural characteristics of the environment in approximately 2,209 acres from high muck land to citrus groves. Since the St. John's River Water Management District is permitting water use, the County staff anticipates no adverse effect beyond the change in natural topography. The Urban Forester claims that the Cypress, Maple, Gum, and Beech trees forming natural hammocks will be destroyed and loss of this natural area will be a loss to the County. Application No. 3 - Marsh Island This project has been approved under the Site Plan Review Process. The Urban Forester has commented that the mangrove transplanting shown is not feasible and the attached guidelines should be sent to the applicant. RECONVIENDATIONS AND FUNDING It is recommended that staff' be authorized to indicate to the DER that Indian River County approves the three applications listed above subject to the above comments. No Funding Considerations are applicable. AUG 181982 21 iox 5.1 PACE . -; AUG 181992 x 51 WE 2 Commissioner Fletcher suggested that we put this in a hold category, but in the meantime, write a letter to the DER expressing our position. Commissioner Lyons asked the Attorney what would be the best position the Board could take to indicate that it was not prepared to evaluate the request until more information was obtained. Attorney Brandenburg stated the position would be that the Board take no action, and request additional information prior to any recommendation from the County. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously agreed that they take no action on Application #2, for Rollins Blue Cypress Ranch; that the Board so notify the DER; and ask for additional information before it can take further action. Discussion ensued about this item being- placed on the agenda without having all of the necessary information. Chairman Scurlock stated the staff had no direction as to the Board's policy concerning matters of this nature. Discussion followed, and it was determined to be very important that a qualified person for the Planning Department be found, as quickly as possible, to handle the environmental aspects of the.County. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously approved Application #1 for the Sebastian Inlet Sand Trap; that the Board take no action on Application #3 for Marsh Island, that the Board so notify the DER and ask for additional information before taking further action. Ray Fernald, President of the Pelican Audubon Society, approached the Board and pointed out he was concerned that a project could come into the County and their association would never find out about it. He requested that as projects such as these come into the County, word be passed on to the Pelican Audubon Society. 140TION WAS MADE by Commissioner Fletcher, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, that the Board send copies of the new applications to the Pelican Audubon Society as they come into the County. Commissioner Lyons requested ADDING TO THE MOTION that the County send a copy of new projects to the Florida Game & Fresh Water Fish Commission. Commissioner Fletcher AGREED TO THE ADDITION. Commissioner Lyons felt that comments from the Game Commission would be of extreme benefit to our County Environmental person. Discussion followed about the Regional Planning Council and it was felt the projects involving dredging and filling would go to that office. Mr. Fernald affirmed that only the major projects would go to the Regional Planning Council. Commissioner Wodtke commented that the Board might want to consider entering into a contract with the Regional Planning Council to assist with the projects that concern the County. Commissioner Lyons suggested leaving this matter with the Administrator. Z' AUG 1 192 2 3oK 51 r�L 3 AUG 181992 THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. 51 Mr. Fernald emphasized that the County needed to get an environmentalist knowledgeable in ecological systems. Commissioner Lyons pointed out that the Board must have the ability to enforce the County environmental requirements. Discussion followed, and it was determined that theme County needed a Code Enforcement Board. The Attorney noted that he would follow up on this matter. E.

DISCUSSION REGARDING PESTICIDE "TEMIK" Brian Combs, County Agriculture Agent, referred to the following material and gave a presentation on the pesticide "Temik:" STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION TWIN TOWERS OFFICE BUILDING 2600 BLAIR STONE ROAD TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 32301 March 1, 1982 Mr. Patrick B. Lyons, Commissioner Board of County Commissioners Indian River County 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Dear Commissioner Lyons: BOB GRAHAM GOVERNOR VICTORIA J. TSCHINKEL SECRETARY Your letter of February 16th to Mr. Alex Senkevich, Orlando District office has been referred to me for reply. Temik (or Aldicarb) maufactured by Union Carbide Corporation has the chemical name 2-methyl-2-(methylthio-propanal 0-1(methylamino) car- bonyl)7(oxime) and is used as a systemic insecticide. The compound is extremely toxic with an oralLD50 (lethal dose for 50% of an animal popu- lation) value for rats. of 0.93 mg/kg. According to the manufacturer the 51 29 , AUG 1 1992 29ox PSE : E1,1 , 6. I BQDK 51 PACE 30, chronic toxicity is not a major problem because of the rapid breakdown of the compound in the environment. However, studies have shown that this rapid breakdown only occurs under certain soil conditions, i.e., when the soil is aerobic (oxygenated) and the pH is alkaline. Under these conditions the reported half life (time for the existing concentration to be reduced in half) of Temik varies from 6 weeks to 3 years. In acid soils and/or anaerobic (oxygen free) conditions such as those commonly found in surficial soils and aquifers of Florida, the compound is likely to be extremely persistent. Known ground water contamination cases due to Temik have been reported in Long Island, New York, Wisconsin and Virginia. The ground water contam- ination in Long Island was apparently severe enough to move State officials to ban the use of Temik in the State and institute a drinking water stan- dard of 7 parts per billion for the compound. Very little information exists with respect to ground water contamination by Temik in Florida even though approximately 300,000 acres of citrus groves are regularly sprayed with the compound. Union Carbides' own experimental data from a study conducted in Hillsborough County showed Temik concentrations in the soil at 7 feet below land surface to be 80 parts per billion and at 8 feet to be 70 parts per billion. No ground water samples were analyzed in connection with this study, however, given the physical characteristics of the compound it is likely to be present in ground water well in excess of the New York standard. To answer your questions: Should we be concerned about Temik? - Yes. Actions that might be taken are 1) initiate ground water sampling and analysis in selected areas of the State where the insecticide is used 2) restrict the over application of the pesticide. Dr. Herb Nigg of the University of Florida Agricultural Research Center, Lake Alfred, Florida, maintains that the compound is over applied in the State and that a much more restricted application rate could be utilized without deleterious effects on the control of nematode populations. I trust that your concerns have been addressed in this letter, but should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, L Geoffrey Watts Groundwater Section Slides were also shown by Mr. Combs as he gave his presentation. He reported that because of the CBS News and other media reports on Temik concerning citrus, the University of Florida, Department of Citrus, conducted various tests and found no problem with the chemical. Mr. Combs noted that as far as the County was concerned, it would cost the citrus growers approximately $125 an acre to use this product, which was very expensive. He added that the chemical is applied into the ground by chiseling it in 1" or 2" below the surface; most of this work must be done by custom applicators. 30 L� Commissioner Lyons noted that the DER was not in step with what Union Carbide had to say. He wanted to be sure that the County did not have pesticides in the ground water supplies. Mr. Combs advised that all water was tested for different chemicals in the water, and they must work with acceptable levels of these chemicals. Commissioner -Lyons commented that he did not feel completely comfortable with the Environmental Protection Agency, and hoped they could find some private means of evaluating the water in the ground. Commissioner Fletcher inquired if Mr. Combs' office was made aware when Temik was used in the County. Mr. Combs responded negatively, but noted that he worked with every chemical representative and with almost all of the growers in the County, as they are always looking to see how the various products perform. As a result of working with the growers, he was aware of the Temik users. Lengthy discussion ensued regarding testing procedures and the monitoring of the wells. Mr. Combs summarized that this product was used in every state and felt that the CBS News story was misleading, with misrepresentation of the facts. AGREEMENT WITH LLOYD & ASSOCIATES Attorney Brandenburg reviewed several changes in the proposed agreement to which all parties involved have agreed, and he recommended approval of the Agreement by the Board. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board approve the Professional Engineering Services Agreement, and that the Chairman be authorized to sign the contract. A 19 2 31 K 51` PA; c 3 AUG 181982 sa K5 1 bAGC 9 Lengthy discussion followed regarding additional work which would depend on the extent of the utilities relocation. Darrell E. McQueen, of Lloyd and Associates, Inc., stated that as far as utilities relocation, that would not be part of their inspection services.. This contract would start with the Notice to Proceed. Philip Lloyd, of Lloyd and Associates, Inc., affirmed that their time would start up when the County's contract commenced. Jim Davis, Public Works Director, advised that the County preferred to have the construction by DOT be coordinated in with their construction; and Lloyd and Associates would be working with DOT for a smooth transition. Commissioner Fletcher expressed concern about the court appearances and conferences by the Engineer. Engineer Lloyd commented that if they have to go to court on behalf of the County, they want to be compensated. Commissioner Fletcher next discussed the cost of printing and reproduction of prints and felt 800 per print was too high. Mr. McQueen noted -that the cost of their sheets was 55C each, but did not include the labor in the preparation of the prints. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. `t ar PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, entered into this 18th day of August 1982, by and between INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, hereinafter referred to as the "County" and LLOYD AND ASSOCIATES, INC., Vero Beach, Florida, hereinafter referred to as the "Engineer."

B. Hardin,�.fi,Ph.D. Acting County -,-Administrator L SUBJECT: TRANSPORTATION FOR THE "DISADVANTAGED PROGRAM 'SX Coordination Summary - Transportation Disadvantaged FROM: . Patrick Bruce King REFERENCES: Coordinated Transportation Community Development Development Plan Director It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal•consideration by the Board of County Commissioners. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: In 1979, the Florida State Legislature enacted Chapter 427 Transportation Services. The intent of this legislation is to foster the coordination of specialized transportation services for the "transportation disadvantaged". The statute defines transportation disadvantaged as: "...individuals who because of physical or mental disability, income status, or age are unable to transport themselves or to purchase transportation and are, therefore, dependent upon others to obtain access to health care, employment, education, shopping, social activities, or other life-sustaining activities." Section 427.012 provides for the formation of a statewide Coordinating Council on the Transportation Disadvantaged. The primary duties of the Coordinating Council are to develop policies/procedures for coordination of funding and grants, compile data on transportation needs, provide information, and approve the appointment of Transportation Providers. The objectives of Chapter 427 are implemented at the local level by a Local Planning Organization (LPO). This LPO has three major functions; drafting of a Transportation Develop- ment Plan, a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the appointment of a Transpor-=atiori Provider. Attachment 1 gives an overview of the organization and a summary of respon- sibilities under Florida Statutes and includes Chapter 427. On October 22, 1980, the Board of Couaty Commissioners accepted responsibility for the Transportation for the Disadvantaged Program and became the Local Planning Organization (LPO). At the September 30, 1981, meeting, the Board authorized a Joint Participation Agreement with the Florida Department of Trans- portation (FDOT) to provide a Transportation Development Plan as required in Section 427.015 (1). Kimley-Horn and Associates was retained to develop that study. On May 19, 1982, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed the preliminary section, Inventory, Analysis and Alternatives and instructed Kimley- Horn and Associates to complete the study including a five- year development plan which specified implementation steps AUG 181982 ' .51 pw 53 34 AUG 1 8 1992¢,1 . in the transportation program. In addition, the Board requested Commissioner Dick Bird to investigate and monitor the program's progress. Commissioner Bird held two subsequent workshops on June 8th and July 8, 1982. Those attending included the social services agencies which will participate in the program, a representative from Florida Department of Transportation, and Community Development staff. Discussions centered on the program's possible impacts and the agency transportation needs. On June 15, 1982, Kimley-Horn and Associates submitted the draft of Coordinated Transportation Development Plan. Copies were distributed to the social service agencies who would be coordinating their transportation services. Copies of this draft are included as Attachment 2. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: - The Board of County Commissioners acting as the Local Planning Organization (LPO) has the following remaining tasks: 1) Review and adopt, a five-year Transportation Development Plan (TDP) which includes a Transporta- tion Improvement Program (TIP). 2) Annual updates of this Plan. 3) Designation of a Transportation Provider. The Transportation Provider is a governmental entity, a non- profit agency or a for-profit company which serves the trans- portation disadvantaged population in a community and which, to the fullest extent possible, reduces the fragmentation and duplication of service provision among all the state or federally funded agencies that provide services to transporta- tion disadvantaged individuals. The Transportation Provider may act in a number of capacities while fullfilling the provision of Chapter 427, Rule 41. After discussions at the July 30,1982, workshop. it was recommended that the Council on Aging be appointed as the Transportation Provider. Application will be made for any available grant funds. In addition, the Council on Aging will utilize a volunteer who will provide detailed inventory of routes, vehicles, and client needs. This information will be utilized to determine the Transportation Provider first year goals and objectives. The Council on Aging will then act as the Trans- portation Provider for one year after the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement. RECOMMENDATION: In order to meet its contractual obligation as the Local Plan- ning Organization (LPO) and to fulfill the requirement of Chapter 427, staff recommends the following actions: 1) The Board of County Commissioners approve the Coordinated Transportation Development Plan. 2) The Board of County Commissioners appoint the Council on Aging as the Transportation Provider at a regular Com- mission meeting on August 18, 1982. � a � MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board approve the recommendation of the staff, as indicated in the August 5, 1982 memo from Patrick Bruce King, Community Development Director. Commissioner Fletcher stated he would like to offer an alternative - that the County make Alison DeGenero, of Neighbors Helping Neighbors, the provider. He suggested that Mr. DeGenero be compensated at $5 a year and that he create a transportation squad. Commissioner Fletcher AMENDED THE MOTION, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the provider be Alison DeGenero in lieu of the Council on Aging. Commissioner Wodtke commented he knew that Mr. DeGenero had never been one to accept federal funds to run a program. Commissioner Bird reviewed the background of how the State requested the County to come up with a plan for transporting the disadvantaged. He added that if the County did not, it could have the problem of jeopardizing the transportation segment as well as the funds for road improvements. After much consideration, it was determined that the Council on Aging was the most qualified with the best staff to proceed. Commissioner Bird commented that to ask Mr. DeGenero to take on the additional responsibility of transporting people in wheelchairs and those who are physically handicapped would be a tremendous shift of burden to suddenly go to the volunteer segment. He further explained that the DOT has made available $4,000, in the AUG 18 1982 36 9VX 51 PACE 55 AUG 1.8 1982 PAUL 56. form of a grant, to assist in initially setting up this work. Commissioner Bird advised that Jamie Cochran, of the DOT, was present to answer any questions. He noted that all of the various agencies were willing to accept the Council on Aging -as the provider, DOT was willing to extend the grant to the County, and they were ready to get under way on the project. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION ON THE AMENDED MOTION. *It was voted on and failed, with a vote of 1 to 4, with Commissioner Fletcher voting in favor. John Kirchner, Treasurer of the Council on Aging, approached the Board and advised that their agency was not competing for funds with the other agencies. He explained each agency dealt with specific problems: one agency dealt with children who were handicapped, one agency with mentally disabled persons, etc. He added that the Council on Aging does have the capabilities, but they also draw on a high crop of volunteer help. Commissioner Wodtke inquired if the DOT will be documenting this activity. Jamie Cochran responded that the burden would be on the DOT, and they would be working with the Council on Aging. She added that the DOT would enter into a contract on a yearly basis. Commissioner Bird interjected that the only funds to be used would be the $4,000 from DOT, and it was understood that this Board had not budgeted to help the Council on Aging in this regard. Jim Ross, of City Cab of Vero Beach, Inc., came before the Board. He expressed his views on this matter, and he felt using the private sector would be the best way to implement this program. Alison DeGenero approached the Board and stated that he was not the person that accomplished things; it was the community who accomplished them. He praised the existing resources in the County and felt they far surpassed the Council on Aging. Mr. DeGenero hoped the Board would let the private sector get involved; he felt the provider would just see to it that the resources would be used. He also felt the resources were not being used efficiently and correctly, and urged the Board to let him do the job and show the community how to do this project themselves. Mr. DeGenero commented that the law said transportation must be provided; the law cannot be changed but he urged the Board to give the private sector in the community a chance. He then referred to a problem he had when he wanted to look at the books of the Council on Aging, and was refused. Mr. DeGenero concluded by urging the Board to use the existing resources instead and not take the easy way, because it does not work. Polly Crowell, Council on Aging, came before the Board and stated that she did not know why anyone was not allowed to see the books, as they were dealing with public funds and try to use them very carefully. She felt the Council on Aging had done an excellent job in providing transportation. Mrs. Crowell added that if they are the coordinating agency, they would provide reports any time the Board would desire. Don Mitchell came before the,Board and advised that his firm provided transportation for the Council on Aging. He pointed that Mr. DeGenero did indeed examine the books with an employee of the Today newspaper. Mr. Mitchell felt whoever the provider was would have the task of managing the resources and he did not think this could be done with zero dollars. He added that there was going to be some AUG 181992 38 wx 51 pAut 57 AUG 181992 avx 1 FADE technical assistance to help the Council on Aging and he hoped the Board did not think it could be done without it costing the County. Mr. DeGenero stated that Mr. Mitchell was correct; he did get to see some of the books, along with a Today newspaper employee, but he would love to have a grand jury investigation of the Council on Aging. A brief discussion followed. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried with a vote of 4 to 1, with Commissioner Fletcher voting in opposition. CHANGE ORDER - WATER PLANT CONTRACT The Board discussed the memorandum of August 11, 1982 from George Liner, Utilities Manager, as follows: TO: The Honorable Members of the DATE: August 11, 1982 FILE: Board of County Commissioners THRU: Dr. C.B. Hardin r., Ph.D. Acting County m nistrator mo II�' V FROM: teorge Liner, Utilities Manager DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Change Order #1 to Part III SUBJECT: of Water Plant Contract (Gulf Constructors International, Inc.) REFERENCES: Throughout the construction there were 21 item decisions made as shown on the attached Change Order No. 1 to Part III of the contract work. These are listed in the attached package showing the dollar difference of each decision, whether additive or subtractive. Most of the changes were from findings of regulation changes which caused minor improvements of the design. The three major changes are: #5 Change class 52 DIP to 51 DIP -$5,495.10 #18 Add FRP reducers for flowmeter installation +$5,083.00 39 #19 Revisions to electrical to accomodate instrumentation furnished in contract Part II +$13,855.00 #20 Substitution of Detroit Diesel Generator -$2,470.00 All the changes had been reviewed with the Utilities Division and were seen to be necessary for various reasons. It should be noted that the cpn3truction work is in the final stapes with only one further change anticipated. As pointed out in the Sverdrup and Parcel attachments, these total changes of an added $23,769.89 cost represents much less than a 1% change of their contract (.69%, to be specific). ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In the field, in the course of construction, there were numerous decisions made as to many of the changes. Most of the changes required on the spot decisions in order not to deter the project from remaining on schedule. As mentioned above, most of the changes were required by various regulations. Information as to the major changes is as follows: Item 5 - Reducing the class of ductile iron pipe reduced its thickness and therefore cost - while remaining within acceptable specification for pressure and water main acceptability. This resulted in a saving of $5,495.10. Item 18 - Add FRP reducers for flowmeter installation. These reducers will improve the accuracy of the flowmeter, at initial flow conditions, plus the use of these reducers will save a larger increase in cost when the plants production capacity is increased in the future. The savings are expected to be much larger than the $5,083.00 cost of this change. Item 19 - Revisions to electrical to accomodate instrumentation furnished in Contract Part II. This added cost of $13,855.00 is associated with the changes required by Part II by Water Services of America. For some of those changes there was either a Part II change of components or instrumentation which represents an improvement in quality, safety or reliability and/or a saving in cost to the Part II contract. Item 20 - Substitution of Detroit Diesel (Allison) generator. Without a loss of reliability this auxiliary generator was selected with a reduc- tion in cost of $2,470.00. RECOMMENDATION & FUNDING Staff recommends that the Board of County Commission approve the attached change order No. 1 to Part III contract. The chairman should be authorized to sign the 5 original copies for the consulting engineer to process through Farmers Home Administration to fund the change from the project contingency of $95,000. AUG 181982 MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board approve the Change Order as recommended by the Utilities Manager in his August 11, 1982 memo, and authorize the signature of the Chairman. 40 go 51 PACE9 AUG 18 1982 Bog 51 pn60 - Community Services Director Thomas brought to the Board's attention that under "Recommendation of Funding," they have not received the grant money. In order to facilitate the cash flow, he requested that the Board authorize the staff to prepare a document for an anticipation note, based upon the grant receivable of $780,000 to be paid on or before six months. Commissioner Lyons AMENDED HIS MOTION, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that funding be obtained for the grant anticipation note not to exceed six months, as needed. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED. It was voted on and carried with a vote of 4 to 1, with Commissioner Fletcher voting in opposition. 41 7 of the Contract will j e (MXAM) (Increased) Ey The Sum Of• �gr nd Sixty Nine Dollars and 89/1 Ofl d _ t Total including this and previous Change Orders Will Be- Three Million Four Hundred �. fight Thousand, Eight Hundred and Sixty Nine ' "adv ti i• '->�r �' ,..� t Per;od Provided for Completion Will Be ,� ai ilii +"1.� ) (Unchanged) � '0' Ooy - , ,,, i'�s 4 �►/ /!'�� r (Ownor) - Gwner'a ArcAdruc4nr;;near) (Dare} .

However, their organization was $3,000 short of funds and were requesting this amount from the Board. A brief discussion followed along those lines. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously approved allocating $3,000 from the Road & Bridge Materials Account for the Bike Path Project. ADVERTISEMENT FOR COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN ORDINANCE ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized the advertisement for a Public Hearing to adopt the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Ordinance at 2:00 o'clock P.M. on Wednesday, September 15, 1982. TREASURE COAST UTILITIES Attorney Brandenburg explained that the Receiver, of Treasure Coast Utilities, has yet to be paid, and recently Judge Sharp ordered Indian River County to pay the Receiver $7,000. He added that his office could then proceed to obtain the $7,000 back from Mr. Salter. He recommended that the Board authorize the payment of $7,000 to the Receiver and .that his office be authorized to recover that amount from Mr. Salter. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, that the Receiver be paid $7,000, and that the Attorney's office be authorized to make an attempt to recover the $7,000 from Mr. Salter. A brief discussion ensued. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was was voted on and carried with a vote of 4 to 1, with Commissioner Fletcher voting in opposition. PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL - SEAGROVE SOUTH The Board reviewed the following memorandum from Staff Planner, Janis Johnson, dated August 5, 1982: TO: The Honorable Board of DATE: August 5, 1982 FILE: County Commissioners IRC -82 -SD -4,#237 THROUGH: C. B. Hardin`linistrator Ph.D. Acting Count DEPARTMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF SEAGROVE SOUTH PRELIMINARY PLAT Patrick Bruce King Letter from Pat Murray FROM: Janis Johnson REFERENCES: dated 8/5/82. Staff Planner It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On July 15, 1982, the Corporate Investment Company requested' approval of a preliminary plat of Seagrove South Subdivision. The proposed single-family subdivision contains 67 lots on a 39 acre parcel (1.7 units/acre). The property is zoned R1 -A Single -Family (4.3 units/acre) in the Land Use Element. The proposed subdivision is located between A -1-A and the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 3/4 mile south of the 17th Street Causeway. Seagrove I is directly adjacent to the subject property on the south and interconnects with the proposed Seagrove South Subdivision. The parcel to the south of the subject property is presently undeveloped. Rivergrove Subdivision has received approval of its prelim- inary plat which is valid until December 23, 1982. River - grove is located across from the subject property on the west side of A -1-A. AUG 181982 46 So 51 PAq 65 AUG 18 1982. BOK 5. PAGE 6-s ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: Seagrove South shares a common entrance with Seagrove I onto A -1-A and the internal circulation will connect with Seagrove I through Eggret Lane and Ocean Way. Ocean Way extends south to the most southern boundary of Seagrove South, allowing future connection to the.ad_jacent parcel. All streets are private with maintenance covered by a homeowner's association. At the request of the Public Works Director, Note 7 on the preliminary plat states that the roads are not designed ac- cording to Florida Department of Transportation manual of uniform standards. A ten foot private beach access and dune walkover are located at the end of Ocean Way on tr..e south side of Lot 12, Block K. In compliance with the Major Thoroughfare, the applicant has dedicated a.-10 foot strip along A -1-A to the County for future road expansion. A 4,500 square foot parcel at the entrance of the proposed subdivision is reserved for landscaping and an entryway fence. The applicant has entered into a joint agreement with the City of Vero Beach for sewer services and has received author- ization for water service from Indian River County Utilities. The proposed subdivision would be served by the Beachland Boulevard Fire Station. Their estimated response time is eight minutes. This would be reduced upon completion of the `ire Station to be located' -in the moorings. That facility is scheduled to begin construction in 19821-1983. The 17th Street Bridge would be utilized for emergency evacuation. The proposed subdivision was reviewed by the Technical Review Committee (TRC) on August 3, 1982. The applicant has conformed to all TRC recommendations. The subdivision meets or exceeds minimum requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance and the Land Use Element. RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on the foregoing analysis, staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Seagrove South. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the recommendation of staff for approval of the preliminary plat of Seagrove South. PERMIT FEE STRUCTURE WORKSHOP The Board reviewed the following memorandum: TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: August 6, 1982 the Board of County Commissioners, FILE: THRU: C. B. Hardin, Jr. Ph. D. SUBJECT: BUILDING PERMIT FEES Acting County Administrator FROM: Bruce King, Director piREFERENCES: Letter from Mr. T. R. Nason, Community Development Division Director of Finance, dated July 8 1982 It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal considera- tion by the Board of County Commissioners on August 18, 1982: DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The County has been requested by Mr. T. R. Nason, Director of Finance, City of Vero Beach, to review the County's building permit fee structure and consider increasing the County's building permit fees to equal those charged by the City of Vero Beach. In Mr. Nason's letter, dated July 8, 1982, he requested that any increase in building department fees be imple- mented, if possible, by October 1, 1982. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: On July 15, 1982 it was suggested by Dr. Hardin that a workshop be sche- duled by the Board of County Commissioners to discuss this rate increase. Should the Board establish a workshop concerning this matter, the Community Development Division shall provide a detailed analysis and recommendation for the Board's consideration prior to this workshop. RECOIyIENDATION: The staff recommends the scheduling of a workshop on August 2S, 1982, for the Board of County Commissioners to discuss and consider the proposed rate increases in the building department fees for the County. ON MOTION by Commissioner Fletcher, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously approved the scheduling of a workshop at 9:00 A.M. on August 25, 1982 to discuss the proposed rate increases for the County Building Department fees. BEACH ACCESS & DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Board reviewed the following memorandum from Community Development Director King: AUG 18 198 48 SO 51 PAGE 67 Z AUG 181982 TO: The Honorable Members of the Board of County Commissioners DATE: August 6, 1982 .� THROUGH:. C. B. Hard.4 1 , Jr . , Ph . D SUBJ ECT: Acting Cdunty� Administrator FILE: BEACH ACCESS AND DEVELOPME14T PLAN FROM:�l Bruce King, Director EFERENCES: Community Development Division It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners on August 18, 1982. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: As directed by the Board of County Commissioners on July 7, 1982, the Planning Department has formulated the attached draft of the Beach Access and Development Plan for Indian River County. ANALYSIS: The Beach Access and Development Plan presents an overview of the physical and,environmental issues surrounding the provision of beach access facilities. In addition, the plan evaluates the existing beach access facilities in relation to the current and future demand for such facil- ities. The alternative methods of beach access acquisition, as well as the potential funding sources, are presented in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 of the Plan presents the specific recommendations for the Beach Access and Development Plan. Section 1 of this Chapter presents the proposed goal, objectives and policies for the future development of a beach access system in Indian River County. Sections 2 and 3 identify the current and long term needs of the county in regard to beach access facilities. Section 4 contains a five-year capital improvement program which begins in Fiscal Year 1983-1984. The staff's recommended funding source is presented in Section 5. Finally, Section 6 presents a specific work program for the implementation of the Plan. Based upon the objectives of the Plan and the proposed capital improvement program, it is anticipated that a $5,000,000 general obligation bond issue would be required to completely implement the recommendations of the Plan. Should the general populace approve the referendum for the issuance of a general obligation bond issue, this approval would serve as the County's financial commitment to the Florida Department of Natural Resources for the County's participation in their "Save -Our -Coast" Program. In addition, the revenue generated through this bond issue would be utilized to seek other State and Federal sources of funding for beach access facilities, as proposed in the Plan. RECOMMENDATIONS: It is recommended that the following actions be taken: 1) That the Board of County Courmissioners adopt the Beach Access and Development Plan for Indian River County. 2) That the County staff be directed to take the necessary actions in order to have a referendum on the November eneral election.ballot for the County's issuance of a 5,000,000 general obligation bond issue. Mr. King stated that Dennis. Ragsdale, of his department, was the primary author of the plan, and commended him for his work. Discussion followed concerning minor corrections to be made in the plan; appropriate language for the question to be put to the voters; and of working with bond counsel. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, that the Board approve the Beach Access & Development Plan, authorize the Attorney to draft the appropriate language in Resolution form to be put to the voters, work with bond counsel, consider a preliminary plan, and place this item on the next Agenda. Commissioner Wodtke referred to the Committee for Beach Preservation and wondered if they should.be involved in this matter. Commissioner Lyons felt that the purpose of the Beach Preservation Committee was for beach restoration, and did not really take into account the amount of beaches owned by the County. Commissioner Wodtke commented that he would advise the Committee that they were not involved in this aspect. Commissioner Bird inquired if there was a condemnation process if an agreement could not be reached with an owner of beachfront property. Attorney Brandenburg stated that the County could use condemnation but it must show some need. He explained that they would go to the properties that were most suitable and obtain options to buy properties after the bond issue was approved - the options would have to be paid for "up front." The Attorney stated he would look into this if the Board so desired. On this type of a bond referendum, the Attorney AUG 181982 so x 51 PkbE AUG 18 1992x 51 FA. -F. 70: noted that there were notice requirements that must be published far in advance; he would like to get the bond resolution and the wording settled as soon as possible. Attorney Brandenburg pointed out that the special bond counsel would only charge a fee if the referendum was successful: THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION - REQUEST FOR SPACE The Board reviewed the following memorandum from Lynn Williams, Acting General Services Director: TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: August 12, 1982 FILE: Agenda the Board of County Commissioners August 18, 1982 THRU: C. B. Hardin, ., Ph.D. Acting County inistrator SUBJECT: Mental Health Association of Indian River County FROM:Lynn Williams Acting Genera REFERENCES: rvices Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION The Mental Health Association of Inidan River County offers sponsor- ship of at least four programs which are administered in the field. The programs are not tax supported and are for all economic and age levels. The Mental Health Association of Indian River County presently operates the Director's office from a private home. The Director's office was moved to a private home bacause of a lack of funds to rent an office. The Crisis Line Program, one of the most important programs the associa- tion has, is operated from the Records Office of the County Jail. The space available in the Jail complex is large enough only for a table, chair and telephone, which is basically all that is required. However, the surroundings of the busy office are somewhat distracting to the volunteer operators and a more private and quiet surrounding would be much better suited for this program. The 911 emergency telephone system will be implemented in October 1982. After this time the Sheriff's Department will not have the room for the Crisis Line. A letter of request for office space from Judith Knisely, President of the Mental Health Association is attached for further explanation. 51 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The Mental Health Association of Indian River County has requested space in the County Adminstration Building. Their space requirements are minimal and funds are not available to pay the standard lease rate. On the third floor of the Administration Building adjacent to the ofice of State Representative Dale Patchett, a room is available of adequate size to satisfy the needs of the Mental Health Association. The room is approximatley 13 X 26 or 338 square feet. Normal lease rate for this space is $8.72 per square foot. Monthly lease rate whould be $245.62. Entrance is presently gained through the reception office of Representative Patchett's suite. This space is presently unused and would be best suited for a small office of one or two persons. Mrs. Knisley has stated actual foot traffic to and from the Mental Health Office is minimal. However, staff feels a doorway should be cut directly into the main third floor hallway to reduce distraction to Representative Patchett's office. This alteration would cost approximately $400.00. The Mental Health Association would not be connected to our telephone system and would have a separate telephone billing, thus no cost to < the County would be incurred for this service. Other normal building services would be continued as with any office, i.e. custodial, eletric lighting and air conditioning. Alternative "A" Authorize the Staff to negoitate a lease agreement with the Mental Health Association of Indian River County for Room S-308 at the lease rate of $245.62 monthly. Alternative "B" Denial of request for space in Administration Building. Continue search for other appropriate space. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the approval of Alternative "A" with the term of the lease to be one year. Hildy Tripson, of the Mental Health Association, came before the Board and advised that they were affiliated with the United Way. She added that they were more than willing to pay something if the County could provide space for them. Lengthy discussion followed about available space, and it was determined the Board's preference was that the Veterans' Office be used by the Mental Health Association. • ON MOTION by Commissioner Fletcher, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously authorized Lynn Williams to investigate the possibilities of available space, and come back to the Board with his recommendations. 52 x 51 PAG- .71 A U G 181982 CARPET BIDS - COURTROOM C The Board discussed the following material: TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: August 13, 1982 the Board of County Commissioners THRU: C.

Personnel Di ector FROM: Lynn Williams Acting Gengrd REFERENCES: Services Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION 51 w— 72, FILE: Agenda August 18, 1982 The Board approved at the August 4,1982 meeting authorization for Staff to use emergency bid procedure to obtain proposals for the carpet installation in Courtroom "C" and Judge Stikelethers' office suite. Requests for proposals were mailed to ten (10) local carpet companies (see attached list). Three companies responded with written proposals, they are: The Carpetbaggers Creative Floors House of Carpets ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Sealed bids were opened in the General Services office by Lynn Williams on August 13, 1982, at 1:30 P.M. Companies and bids are listed below in order of ranking: Creative Floors - $5642.95 _ Carpetbaggers - 5757.00 House of Carpets - 6076.54 Alternative "A" Accept low bid from Creative Floors for carpet, pad and install- ation as specified in letter dated August 5, 1982, (attached). Amount to be transferred from Board of County Commission Contingency Fund (001-199-513-99.91 ) to account #001-220-519-66.41. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends bid to be awarded to Creative Floors as low bidder. Work to be completed as soon as possible. Staff also recommends color #437, Brown Velvet or #876, Orange Spice be substituted. The darker color will require less maintenance. Commissioner Lyons commented that the County had a great deal of service from the "Carpetbaggers" in the past few months. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the bid be awarded to the second low bidder, Carpetbaggers, in the amount of $5,757, on the grounds that the small difference between their bid and the lowest bid more than compensated for the additional service the County had received from the Carpetbaggers; and that brown be selected as the color of the carpeting. Mr. Storms, of Carpetbaggers, advised that the carpeting used in Judge Stikelether's office on a trial basis could be utilized in the Jury Room. Community Services Director Thomas suggested adding to the Motion that the necessary funding would be charged directly to the construction account #301-131-519-66.51. Commissioner Lyons ADDED TO HIS MOTION that funding would be from account #301-131-519-66.51. Commissioner Bird seconded the ADDITION TO THE MOTION. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. "It was voted on and carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF LICENSE AGREEMENT - WAXE The Board reviewed the following memorandum from Lynn Williams dated August 11, 1982: AUG 18 199254 seas 51 PAGE '7 K 51fAuc 7 TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: August 11, 1982 FILE: Agenda the Board of County Commissioners August 18, 1982 THRU: C. B. Hardin, Jr., Ph.D. Acting County Adw_2 SUBJECT: WAXE Radio License Agreement FROM: Lynn Williams/ Acting General W REFERENCES: ervices Director DESCRIPTION AND=NDITION Proper Public Notice was submitted in the Vero Beach Press Journal on February 17, 24, and March 3, 1982, for the sale or lease of a parcel of County owned land located at the stump dump on Old Dixie Highway. Two bids were received, one from WGYL Radio and one from WAXE Radio. A License Agreement with WGYL, as best bidder, was approved by the Board of County Commissioners at the May 5, 1982 meeting. This agreement allows for non-exclusive license to use said property.for the purpose of constructing a radio tower. Mr. Dick Crago WAXE Radio has attempted unsuccessfully to negotiate a common use of the tower to be built by WGYL on the licensed property in May 1982. Mr. Crago has approached the County with a request for a similar -agreement for a parcel of land adjacent to and south of the WGYL property. WAXE has requested a parcel 400 X 400 feet or approximately 3.67 acres to be used for a 200 foot tower with transmitter building. This property was not advertised. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Attached is a completed license agreement for the use of the property located at the Old Dixie Transfer station. The agreement with WAXE is essentially the same as the WGYL agreement with one exception; the grace period for payment of the annual lease is extented to ten days. WGYL agreement grace period was for three (3) days which Mr. Crago felt was not enough time to correct a deficiency, in case of an oversight whereby he was late with the annual payment. The proposed annual lease rate is $900 for the first ten years with an additional ten year option at a rate of $1200 annually. The previously granted license agreement with WGYL was for the same time frame with annual payments of $1200 for the first ten years graduating to $1500 annually for the option years. WARE has received FCC approval of the adjacent site and Mr. Crago has stated he anticipates no difficulty obtaining the same approval for his new site. This property has been put out for bid two times in the last five (5) years with only two different bidders, WAXE and WGYL. Alternative "A" Authorize the Chairman to sign completed license agreement as attached. Forward signed original agreement to Recording Secretary and copy to Finance. Instruct Finance to make necessary arrangements for dispers- ment of the lease payment. Alternative "B" Even though we have advertised adjacent property, authorize staff to again advertise this parcel of land so as to meet legal requirements. RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING Staff recommends approval (Alternative "A") of license agreement with WAXE as attached. No funding is required. Attorney Brandenburg advised that this item must go out for bid. ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously agreed that this item, concerning the sale or lease of a County -owned parcel located at the Old Dixie Highway stump dump, be put out for bid. The Board of County Commissioners recessed at 12:05 o'clock P.M. for lunch and reconvened at 1:30 o'clock P.M. with all members present.

COOPER'S REQUEST TO REZONE .77 ACRES FROM R-1 TO R -2A REFERENCES: It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners on August 18, 1982. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On July 21, 1982, a public hearing was held by the Board of County Commissioners to consider the subject rezoning re- quest. A decision was postponed pending a legal agreement which would allow only two (2) single-family detached dwell- ing units to be built on the subject property and would provide a means of permanent access to both houses. ANALYSIS: The applicant requested this rezoning request in order to allow construction of a new single-family dwelling to replace a frame house attached to a mobile home. This structure is presently situated in back of the applicant's home on the same lot. Staff's concern at the July 21, 1982, public hearing centered around the potential for multi -family development, not compat- ible with the neighborhood, to occur in the future. The applicant has provided a "Declaration of Restriction" which will only allow two single-family homes to be built on the subject property and which provides a twenty (20) foot wide easement for access to the second home. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the rezoning request be approved. The Attorney stated that the legal agreement was in proper form and recommended approval. The Chairman asked if there was any one present who wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously agreed to close the Public Hearing. 57 ON MOTION MADE :v Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinar_ze 82-16 granting a rezoning from R-1 to R -2A, as requested by Ida E.

CONTROL OF FARMYARD ANIMALS Chairman Scurlock reviewed the following memorandum from Acting County Administrator Hardin dated August 12, 1982: TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: August 12, 1982 FILE: Agenda the Board of County Commissioners 8/18/82 SUBJECT: Pasture and Trailer for Confinement of Large Animals . FROM. � C. B. Hardin, Jr. h. D. ' ► ° �� "` ' REFERENCES. Letter dated June 11 1982 Acting County Administrator from Office of the Sheriff to Chairman of Bd. of C.C. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On June 11, 1982 Sergeant Manuel "Bob" Reese, Indian River County Sheriff's Department, in a letter to the Chairman of the County Commission requested the Board to consider providing a pasture and a four -horse trailer for large animals such as horses, cows, etc. as -required by the provision of F.S.S. 588.21. The Animal Shelter does not have the facilities to house these large animals thus as a result of this request, staff has inspected several county owned parcels of property which could be used for this purpose. The Sheriff's'Department has usually been able to find individuals to contract for the safe keeping of these animals; however, none of them want to enter into a continual agreement because they would not want to mix their livestock with possibly contaminated livestock. Land inspected is located in the 4600 block of South Gifford Road across from the County barn on the NE corner of 4th and Rangeline and on 14th Avenue just north of Oslo Road. Each of the areas would need to be fenced at an estimated cost of $500. Two of the areas would not meet zoning re- quirements for this use. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS A. F.S.S. allows a $10 fee and 14 cents per mile for transporting these animals by private individuals. In addition the law provides for the feeding and care of the impounded animals and such fee cannot exceed $2.50 per day for each animal. Since it is difficult to get individuals to enter into an agreement at these prices, staff would need authority to negotiate satisfactory arrangements which would include transporting. B. The land located in the NE corner of 4th and Rangeline has water and is zoned but would reed to be, fenced. Estimated cost for fencing is $S00. A four -horse trailer could be.purchased for $2,352.92; however, staff understands that the Animal Control Officer feels a much stronger trailer would be needed since the animals generally hauled have been allowed to run wild and are very difficult to transport in this type of trailer.

The Board of County Commissioners could direct that staff work closely with the Sheriff's Depart- ment and reach a reasonable fee for "boarding" these animals. There are.no funds available nor budgeted for this project. Recommend Board of County Commissioners Contingency Fund. Lengthy discussion followed about the State Statutes and it was determined necessary to contact Representative Dale Patchett in order for him to get this law brought up to date. Commissioner Bird felt somebody should be contacted to handle the transporting of horses, as well as the feeding, boarding, etc., and suggested Mr. Williams get in touch with Chuck Dent. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board approve the recommendation as indicated in the memo dated August 12, 1982. Commissioner Bird requested AMENDING THE MOTION to indicate that staff could check into reasonable fees for boarding and transporting the animals. Commissioner Lyons AGREED TO THE AMENDMENT. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized the Attorney to communicate with Representative Patchett regarding the State Statutes and ask him to look into the possibility of having the fees brought up to date. Discussion followed about fines and it was suggested this could be done by making an addendum to the animal ordinance. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, that an'addendum be made to the Animal Ordinance regarding fees. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously.

B. Hard' Jr . , Ph . DSUBJ ECT: Acting Cou Administrator DEPAITMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE Patrick Bruce King MR. GREGORY GOLIEN'S REQUEST TO REZONE 156 LOTS FROM AGRICULTURAL AND R-1 TO R-lE FROM:Dennis Ragsdale'` REFERENCES: Staff Planner It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners in the form of a Public Hearing on August 18, 1982. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The applicant is requesting that 59 lots presently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential (6.2 units/acre) and 97 lots presently zoned Agricultural, be rezoned to R-lE, Country Estate District (1 unit/acre). The 70' x 130' lots are in Pine Lake Estates, an unrecorded plat, which is located on the south side of Fellsmere Road (S.R. 512) immediately west of 104th Avenue. The land use designation is LD -1 (up to 3 units/acre). ANALYSIS: Pine.Lake Estates comprises approximately 57 acres of land including the roads and 37 lots which are not included in the rezoning request. The applicant intends to replat those lots included in the rezoning. proposal into one acre or larger parcels. Approximately 23 lots which would conform to the R-lE zoning requirements could be created. Vero Lake Estates, Units H-2 and H-4 lie immediately to the east and west of Pine -Lake Estates. Thousands of approxi- mately 75' x 130' lots are situated to the east,west and south of Pine Lake Estates. The acreage to the north, across S.R. 512 is unplatted. Sparse development: has occurred since the platting of Vero Lake Estates, which began in April of 1956. P..portion of the subject property lies in a Strip R-1, Single Family Residential (6.2 units/acre) District which extends approximately 600 feet west and 2400 feet east for a depth of .600 feet on the south side of S.R. 512. The remainder of the site is zoned Agricultural. Much of Vero Lake Estates to the south and southwest is also Agriculturally zoned. 63 Agricultural R-1 Zoning R-lE Zoning Zoning Req. Req Req.

A large number of land owners, each holding title to one or more 70' x 130'- lots, served by dirt or marl roads, makes Agricultural use impractical and the present zoning not appropriate. 3) The area is well suited for Country Estate living and the rezoning would result in a substantial upgrading of the existing situation. 4) There are 11 other landowners in Pine Lake Estates. Their one or more lots, constitute one lot of record. One single family residence could be constructed by each of the landowners on their parcels of land. These parcels range in size from one 70' x 130' lot to approximately 2 acres made by a combination of 9 lots. A rezoning of the subject property would have little or.no effect on the use of the lots in Pine Lake Estates which are not included. 5) The applicant is the only land holder in Pine Lake Estates who could conform to the zoning requirements of the Agricultural district. This would result in any single family residence constructed being a non -conforming use. At least three other landowners could conform to the R-lE zoning requirements. 6) Public water and sewer services are not presently available in the vicinity of the proposed rezoning and it is unlikely that these services will be offered in the near future. Development on the small lots would result in numerous wells and septic tanks being placed in close proximity to one another. This could potentially create an unsafe drinking water situation. Approval of the proposed re- zoning will increase lot sizes to a minimum of one acre and further separate wells from septic tanks. 7) Internal roads serving Pine Lake Estates are unimproved, in poor condition and ownership is questionable. While there is no indication of a formal right-of-way dedication, there is an implied dedication to the public resulting from the act of selling the lots and recording the plat in official record Book 123, Page 141. The plat has no official status as a County Subdivision. The applicant has agreed to provide a "Declaration of Right-of-way" to clarify any questions as to road ownership. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the following action: 1) Approve the request to rezone the subject property from R-1 and Agricultural to R -1E, County Estate District. 2) Initiation of action by the County resulting in rezoning of the remainder of Pine Lake Estates from R-1 and Agri- cultural to R-lE, in order to have consistent zoning and bring Pine Lake Estates into conformity with the Compre- hensive Plan. A.0 G 18198264 K 51 FAu - UG 181982 so 511 nr;E 84 The first recommendation is made in conjunction with the second and should not be approved if the County does not initiate rezoning of the remainder of Pine Lake Estates. The Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular business meeting of June 10, 1982, voted unanimously to recommend that the County Commission approve the rezoning of the subject property to R -1E, and that the County Commission initiate action to rezone the remainder of Pine Lake Estates from R-1 and Agricultural to R-lE. The Chairman asked if there was anyone present who wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Fletcher, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board adopt Ordinance 82-17, rezoning the subject property from Agricultural and R-1 to R -1E, as recommended in the memo dated August 2, 1982 from Dennis Ragsdale, Staff Planner. After a brief discussion, it was determined that the Motion should be divided into two parts. Commissioner Fletcher WITHDREW HIS MOTION, and Commissioner Bird WITHDREW HIS SECOND. ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Fletcher, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 82-17 granting the rezoning from Agricultural &`R-1 to R -1E as requested by Mr. Golien. ORDINANCE NO. 82-17 WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, did publish and send its Notice of Intent to rezone the hereinafter described property and pursuant thereto held a public hearing in relation thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens were heard; NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, that the Zoning Ordinance of Indian River County, Florida, and the accompanying Zoning Map, be amended as follows: 1.

Be changed from A -Agricultural District and R-1, Single Family Residential to R-lE, Country Estate District. All with the meaning and intent and as set forth and described in said Zoning Regulations. This Ordinance shall take effect August 24, 1982. AUG 181982 Asox 51 Fm 85 AUG 181982 5 Commissioner Fletcher asked Mr. Golien if it was clear in his mind that the County would not have responsibility as to the roads. Mr. Golien responded that he understood the County would not maintain the roads. ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously rezoned the remainder of Pine Lake Estates from R-1 and Agricultural to R-lE, in order to have consistent zoning and bring Pine Lake Estates into conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, as indicated in the memorandum of August 2, 1982 from Dennis Ragsdale, Staff Planner.

MARTIN MEISER'S REQUEST TO REZONE 3 LOTS FROM C-1 TO M-1 REFERENCES: It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners in the form of a Public Hearing on Aguust 18, 1982. AUG 1 8 1982x 68 51 P 7.. AUG 18 1992�� DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The applicant is requesting that Lots 17, 18, and 19, Block C of Oslo Park Subdivision, Unit 1, be rezoned from C-1, Commercial to M-1, Restricted Commercial. The subject property is located on the west side of 11th Avenue, S.W. approximately 175 feet north of Oslo Road (9th Street, S.W.). ANALYSIS: Land Use - The site lies within the MXD (Mixed Use District) which —is situated between the Lateral "J" Canal and 22nd Avenue and is 600 feet deep, north of Oslo Road. This entire MXD area is presently zoned C-1, Commercial (see attachment #2). A land use study (attachments #3 and #4) of Blocks A, B, C, D, and E of Oslo Park Subdivision, Unit 1, and including the property on the west side of 12th Avenue, S.W. revealed the following findings: Between Oslo Road (9th Street, S.W.) and 8th Street, S.W. there are 19 parcels of land occupied by at least one structure, including: 1) Ten (10) facilities which may best be categorized as restricted industrial uses outlined in Appendix A, Section 22. M-1, Restricted Industrial District of the Indian River County Code of Laws and Ordinances. 2) Four (4) facilities which border between restricted industrial and commercial use. These uses include offices, storage, repair and reconditioning of auto- mobile parts. 3) One (1) Commercial use (Pop Top Beverages). 4) Three (3) Single family homes. 5) One (1) mobile home. The industrial and commercial uses occur in Blocks A, B, and C, with the residential uses situated in Blocks D and E. Between 8th Street, S.W. and 7th Street, S.W., north of the MXD (Mixed Use District) in Blocks, F, G, H. J, and K, there are twelve single family homes and one mobile home. This area is designated LD -2 (up to 6 units/acre) and currently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential (6.2 units/ acre). Fourteen (14) of the existing nineteen (19) uses in Blocks A, B, C, D, and E are non -conforming in the C-1, Commercial District. Four other uses are questionable as to conformance and one existing use is allowable in the C-1 zoning district. The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the County shall en- courage, where appropriate, redevelopment of mixed use area in accordance with the dominant land uses and,the health, safety and welfare of area residents. General commercial development is not likely to occur in this area even if it remains commercially zoned. This is due to low traffic volumes on the unimproved internal roadways and that a majority of the existing uses in the area are not corapatible with general commercial development. In recent months the Community Development Department has received several requests for restricted industrial developments in the vicinity of the proposed rezoning. While these re- quests were for facilities similar to those presently exist- ing in Oslo Park, the potential developer was informed that the proposal did not comply with uses allowed in the C-1, Commercial zoning district. Urban Services: Water - Oslo Park Subdivision lies in the number one priority service area proposed in the Utilities Element of the -1982 Comprehensive Plan. Construction of Capital improvements to provide water to this area has already begun and the South County Water Plant should be on-line by November of 1982. Water mains parallel to Oslo Road presently extend beyond the Oslo Park Subdivision. Based on the existing uses and anticipating similar uses to be developed, if the rezoning request is approved, it is expected that less water will be required if the area is developed as restricted industrial rather than general com- mercial. Sewer- Public sewage service will not be readily available in -Oslo Park. Individual septic tanks will be required as development occurs. The County's Environmental Health Unit reviews all septic tanks for industrial facilities and refers the permit to the State Department of Environmental Regulation, if determined necessary. These reviews will limit the uses which may occur on the lots in Oslo Park and will serve to eliminate the possibility of obnoxious wastes affecting nearby residents. Transportation - The roads within Oslo Park are presently . unimproved. Restricted industrial development will generate considerably less traffic than would general commercial uses. While less traffic would be generated, trucks would become more prevalent if the area Vere developed as re- stricted industrial. Truck traffic, while less in numbers of trips, may cause a greater impact on the roads and create more noise than would automobile traffic. Oslo Road is a major east/west corridor which provides access to Oslo Park. This roadway is capable of handling both automobile and truck traffic. It is designated as an arterial road on the County's Thoroughfare Map. This designation calls for 120 feet of right-of-way which is a substantial increase from the existing 70 feet. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the proposed rezoning request and encourage redevelopment of this area consistent with existing land uses. This could be accomplished through initiating rezoning action on Blocks A, B, and C from C-1 to M-1, and on Blocks D and E from C-1 to R-1. While this would allow a variety of restricted industrial uses in close proximity to residential uses, through site plan and County Health Unit review, many potentialy adverse impacts will be eliminated. Restricted Industrial zoning of Blocks A, B, and C and Residential zoning of Blocks D and E will, for the short term, allow similar uses to those presently existing to be developed in Oslo Park. The effect of this would be the creation of a mini -restricted industrial park in close proximity to a residential neighborhood. As growth of the area occurs, those who work at the restricted industrial facilities will find nearby homesites available. 2. Approve only the proposed rezoning request. This would result in a "spot" zoning and the County would continue to be in the position where developers question why their land cannot be put to a use similar to their neighbors. This alternative may also lead to slowing or eliminating development in the Oslo Park Subdivision, Blocks A, B, and C of Unit 1. AUG 181982 70 aw 51. PAGE 89 agog 181982 3. Deny the request and wait for possible general commercial or residential redevelopment"of the area. This is un- likely to occur in the near future since many structures in the area were built in 1979-1980, and several since 1980. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the following action be taken: 1) Approve the rezoning request. 2) Initiate similar rezoning action on all of Blocks A, B, and C of Oslo Park Subdivision, Unit 1. 3) Initiate similar rezoning action for those parcels of land abutting the west right-of-way line of 12th Avenue, S.W. between Oslo Road and 8th Street, S.W. 4) Initiate rezoning action of Blocks D and E and from C-1, Commercial to R-1, Single Family Residential (6.2 units/ acre). The Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular business meeting held on June 10, 1982, voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners take action outlined in the staff's recommendations. 0 The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 82-18 granting the rezoning from C-1 to M-1, as requested by Mr. Meiser.

Lawrence Elliott, commented from the audience that he was concerned about the property he owns in the area under discussion. He added that he had obtained releases of easement and submitted plans to the Planning Department. Mr. Ragsdale interjected that Mr. Elliott was inquiring about a portion of Lots 21 and 22, Block E. Discussion followed about the houses that were located in the area. Art Challacombe, Senior Planner, suggested holding off on Recommendation #4 until staff worked on the administrative rezoning. Commissioner Lyons MODIFIED HIS MOTION to include only Recommendations 2 and 3 (and not 4) of the memorandum dated July 28, 1982. Commissioner Fletcher AGREED TO THE MODIFICATION. A brief discussion ensued. Commissioner Bird suggested that Mr. Elliott get started on his site plan process as soon as possible. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.

Sue Schlitt Arlene Fletcher Sincerely.. Executive Director Polly well ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously appointed Polly Crowell as representative to the Executive Board of the Gulfstream Council on.Aging. s � � REDISTRICTING OF DER DISTRICTS - DISCUSSION Representative Dale Patchett approached the Board and talked about the DER swapping boundaries and districts; DER will be transferring portions of the County to the Port St. Lucie office on September 1, 1982. He explained that anything east of I-95 would be handled by Port St. Lucie and the remainder of the workload would be in Orlando. Representative Patchett commented that they had established such a good working relationship in the past with Alex Senkevich of the DER office, and were reluctant for this change to occur. Chairman Scurlock expressed concern about splitting the area and what would be the effect, as the County has had such good service from the present office. Commissioner Lyons commented that he was worried about the business of fragmenting this County. Alex Senkevich stated that the DER made a decision to change the boundaries and districts because they must cut down their expenses - they felt it would be in the best interest to cut at least 15% of travel. He assured the Board that they would still be involved in Indian River County and would issue permits for agricultural interests. The rest of the permitting would be handled by Roy Dukes in the Port St. Lucie office. Roy Dukes approached the Board and stated that in 1974, the DER attempted to align DER Districts with the water districts. He then explained the political boundaries all across the State and the problems of regulating the utilities by two different offices. Mr. Dukes commented that Mr. Senkevich would be working with the pumping stations, all domestic waste, and air pollution; solvent waste would be administered through the Port St. Lucie branch office. AUG 181992 sooK 51 PAGE 97 78 _I AUG 181992 BOOK 51 FA6,c 98 Representative Patchett did not think it would be very convenient to go with two different offices. Mr. Dukes stated that the same project would be handled by one office only -,Mr. Senkevich would be the contact but Mr. Dukes would do the work. Dean Luethje, Engineer, discussed permits for dredging, filling, and pumping stations. Lengthy discussion followed and Mr. Dukes assured the Board that he and Mr. Senkevich would coordinate their efforts. Commissioner Lyons stated that one reason the Regional Planning Council was formed was to get away from the Dade and Broward County interests. He felt the County's interest to the environment was different and he would rather have things remain the way they were at present. Mr. Dukes stressed that they do coordinate closely with the Regional Planning Council and he felt their philosophies were very close. Chairman Scurlock stated that his personal feeling was to have things remain the way they were because the County was used to the service, etc. Representative Patchett thought that having a direct line of communication was essential and now felt the County's service would be gone. He then requested the use of the conference room to discuss this further with Mr. Dukes and Mr. Senkevich and would come back to the Board later in the day. BOND VALIDATION Attorney Brandenburg stated that the County had scheduled a meeting before Judge Vocelle next Tuesday for a bond validation. He added that the consultants advised him the County's rate structure would need more work and that rate hearings might be needed; the new obligations were M not economically feasible with the County's current rate structure. The Attorney felt he could not proceed when he knew it was not economically feasible; therefore, he asked the Judge for a postponement, which was granted indefinitely. He explained that if the County charged standard rates to all of its customers, the County would still be $60,000 short, annually, of meeting its bond covenants. Commissioner Lyons commented that the water usage has not been kept at what was previously estimated. The Chairman wondered how we got to the eleventh hour only to find ourselves faced with this question, and also wondered why it was not discussed earlier. The Chairman stated that there had never been any in-depth analysis done in this regard. John Robbins, Engineer, approached the Board with the explanation to the various questions. The original concepts for the County utility system became effective in 1978; funds came from FmHA and the rate structure of $7.10 for Gifford water system was developed. He continued that the South County water system had a rate of $8.00. Later, the County adopted a uniform rate structure, which was different from the Gifford and the South County water rates. The lower rate structure was adopted and the idea was to come back to FmHA prior to closing and, if at all possible, go with the lower rate. Mr. Robbins then elaborated on the Treasure Coast and Ixora Utilities; the loan with FmHA; and the Letter of Conditions that was entered into on February 7, 1982, utilizing the $7.10 rate in an effort to satisfy FmHA. Mr. Robbins explained that the mandate St. Johns River Water Management District had last year was very effective concerning the number of living units per month. It was necessary to take into consideration the entire utility system and a 5 year projected revenue and expense AUG 181992 80 So ,51 PAGE 99 4 Not 5.�1� evaluation was prepared. Mr. Robbins stated they began working on that evaluation on July 1st and it was submitted on August 5th. The revenue totals that were projected were low, and Mr. Robbins commented that he requested a meeting with the financial consultants to advise them of this fact. He continued that last Friday they had a meeting at the Attorney's office and those facts were disclosed. Mr. Robbins then referred to the following data and reviewed it with the Board: FIVE YEAR NET REVENUE TO DEBT SERVICE COMPARISON AUGUST 18, 1982 YEAR PROJECTED REVENUES OT DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS(2)RATE PROPOSED MASTER METER NOW EXISTING RATE PROPOSED RATE 1983 $262,000 $409,000 $704,000 $459,264 1984 278,000 423,000 707,000 459,390 1985 826,000 981 w 1,455,000 1,114,828 1986 820,000 975,000 1,456,000 1,605,132 1987 883,000 1,040,000 1,545,000 1,604,052 1.

He noted that there was a cut-back from the Water Management District, as well as a very wet year; the data was very sensitive. Lengthy discussion followed, and it was felt that perhaps the Finance Advisory Committee could get a good, in-depth analysis and ultimately set a policy. Mr. Robbins expressed concern about the Letter of Conditions involved with the $2.7 million loan; as approximately $426,000 was to be used to complete construction of the South County water plant, as well as the purchase of Treasure Coast Utilities & Ixora Utilities. He felt it important to make sure there was a vehicle by which the County could cover itself for the present construction obligations. Community Services Director Thomas thought that there had been a lack of timing relative to the $2.7 million loan. but the Board and the public, in that area, have indicated they want a system on the South Beach; now the Board is going from a FmHA type of bond to a public bond. He discussed the bond requirements and advised that the bond people have recommended a 1.2 coverage as opposed to a 1.1 coverage. Mr. Thomas stated that the County is in the water business, so the people are going to be demanding water; the County will be better off if it could take care of this now and cover the same requirement under the $7 million issue. Mr. Thomas continued that at the time that. Mr. Robbins' firm presented the final contract, there was a cost overrun of $426,000 and the Board did two things;" One was to facilitate the sale through a technicality that Mr. Livingood pointed out, by pledging funds temporarily to issue the bond anticipation note. The other thing was that FmHA invited the $2.7 million application because within that $2.7 million would be the $426,000 cost overrun. Mr. Thomas stated that he was concerned that the timing was upset by changing it from a 1.1 coverage to a 1.2 coverage, and making the rates non -conforming to the debt requirement. He merely wanted to call to the Board's attention and, that the Board be aware that some form of interim financing may be required. Mr. Thomas noted he was concerned about the matter, as this was unlike obtaining interim financing to construct something that was not already in operation. If the County does have to go to some interim financing, an adjustment would be required of the rates and sales as the County was already in the business and currently taking in $7.10 on the FmHA part of the loan. Mr. Thomas stated he was merely talking about a rate study and thought the County should have a thorough one. Not only does it affect the ability to meet the current debt structure, but if it is not done properly, when it comes time to issue the bonds for the South Beach, it may have an effect on the salability of those bonds. Lengthy discussion followed regarding a master meter rate and impact fees. Mr. Robbins stated that FmHA recommended having the loan closing for $5.8 million on September 30, 1982 at 10:30 A.M. He added that the Board may want to consider only borrowing from them the $426,000 necessary for completion of the South County water system. Mr. Robbins commented that he would.talk to Mr. Thomas and Mr. Livingood in this regard. Sian Livingood, of Arch W. Roberts Co., stated that in order to close on the $5.8 million loan, it would be necessary for FmHA to waive certain provisions in the Letter of Conditions, in which the County was not in compliance. He believed that FmHA would be willing to work with the BQDK 51 PAE t" AUG 18 1982 84 AUG 181982 Beer k X04 I County concerning those provisions. He then explained the terms of the Letter of Conditions and that they had recently discovered the County was not in compliance in regard to the rate structure. Commissioner Fletcher inquired if, by waiving those provisions, would it cost the County more money. Mr. Livingood responded that there would be no cost involved to the County. Attorney Brandenburg spoke about the Utility Department having sufficient cash in hand to meet the terms of the original bond, but did not know if they were meeting the letter of the law as not enough revenue was produced last year. Mr. Livingood then discussed the timing involved in discovering that the rates were not high enough to generate, sufficient revenues. Discussion ensued. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board instruct Administrator Wright to come back with a report on the rate structure in less than 90 days. Commissioner Lyons ADDED TO HIS MOTION that the Administrator also be authorized to contact various firms for a rate analysis, and bring back the information to the Board. Commissioner Wodtke AGREED TO THE ADDITION. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. DER REDISTRICTING,- CONTINUED Representative Patchett came before the Board after conferring with Mr. Senkevich and Mr. Dukes and stated that there was a philosophical problem, but they were willing to try the new procedure. Mr. Senkevich then asked for a chance for them to work this out for a few months, and if the situation was not acceptable to the County, they could inform the DER. Air. Dukes explained that the Governor issued an executive order for their offices to cut back 15% on interstate travel. He also stated that they were short of staff, even when fully manned. After a brief discussion, Commissioner Lyons suggested this new procedure be given a try. Representative Patchett suggested.that Mr. Dukes have his staff become acquainted with the County personnel in order to establish a good working relationship. Ann Robinson, interested citizen, stated she had enjoyed working with Mr. Senkevich in the past. She suggested sending Miss Tschinkel, of the DER, a copy of a resolution outlining the fact that the County had reservations in this matter and was not accepting'this change whole-heartedly. After some discussion, it.was determined that a letter, instead of a resolution, would suffice. ON MOTION MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Fletcher, the Board unanimously authorized the Chairman to send a letter to Miss Tschinkel outlining the Board's position in this matter. � AUG 181982 AM �x 51 PAGE." si -.d AUG 181982 DOUGLAS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE - DISCUSSION BOOK Lynn Williams, Acting General Services Director, explained the following utilization alternatives: WEST WABASSO CIVIC LEAGUE - PROPOSAL The West Wabasso Civic League presented a proposal for use of Douglas School Site as a Community Resource Center to the Indian River County School District in January 1982. This program was also outlined in a presentation to the Indian River County, Board of Commissioners after the School District Board decided to offer the County the facility for its use. The Civil League proposal included programs and activities for Wabasso area from a variety of agencies. A. A public health facility operated by the Florida Community Health Center. B. Economics Opportunities Council of Indi-ark River County requested three class rooms and the cafeteria - kitchen for use as a Headstart facility for pre- schoolers. C. Adult Vocational Community Education Program. D. Indian River Community College Program. E. North County Recreation Program. STAFF COMMENTS In review of this proposal the following comments are submitted: The West Wabasso Civic League proposal has included several agencies who have approached County individually for space allocation. --The Civic League's request does not specifically outline how control of the facility will be maintained. Individually each program has merit and several are federally funded programs. Most have requested space for one dollar a year lease fee. Although some have stated a desire to pay a portion of the utilities there are still administrative and maintenance costs which the County would absorb. Basically the main staff concern is that of a facility with many operational costs and no income to offset those costs. DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS - DOUGLAS SCHOOL SITE - PROPOSAL The Department of Corrections has forwarded a request to be considered in the Douglas School Site plans. D.O.C. has requested the school site for use as a satellite facility for youthful offenders. The facility would be converted into dormitories and a vocational training center which would provide a community based program of work release. The program would center around developing marketable skills such as horticulture and small engine repairs. The D.O.C. would make improvements and alterations 'to the school site which would increase the value. D.O.C. would be responsible for control and upkeep of the entire facility. STAFF COMMENTS The D.O.C. proposal would allow the entire facility to be under the control of one agency. D.O.C. would accept the facility, make the necessary alterations and additions, and maintain the facility as a corrections center. The facility would house approximately 65-75 male youthful offenders, about 25% of which would be available for community agency work release. This work force could substantially complement our present work force as well as that of the School District and other community service organizations. Staff has also considered the possibility of a north county Road and Bridge vehicle equipment storage area as part of the facility. The D.O.C. could provide some maintenance of equipment and also provide natural security of the area. m sm 51 Pw.10 7 GENERAL COMMENTS The Douglas facility with.approximately eight (8) acres of property has potential for many uses. However, also involved are many operational costs that require funding. The Maintenance of Buildings account was increased with the Building Operations Budget for fiscal 82-83. There were no reuests set forth for capital funds to make alterations or additions to the school site. Ideally, space allocations to each agency would be made through leases and each individual agency would be required to maintain their space and to pay a pro -rated share of the operational costs, i.e. electric, water and sewer, insurance. Possibly $2.00 to $3.00 per square foot annually. Actual operating expenses will dictate lease rate. Staff feels serious consideration should be given. --the D.O.C. proposal for use of the entire facility. This would alleviate the problems associated with several independent agencies located within a County owned tax supported facility. Staff also realizes the benefit a work release program could have in regards to available manpower. A work force of twenty men would equal over 40,000 man hours available to community services on an annual basis. At the rate of $5.00 per hour this force could be valued at $200,000. General overview of the use of Douglas facility shows the Community Resource Center concept will require additional funds for ;_upkeep and personnel. Fiscal 82-83 budgets for all General Funds Divisions were closely reviewed during budget hearings and the Commission stated a position of NO NEW programs. The D.O.C. concept would turn the entire facility to the D.O.C. for an indefinate period of time. Should the D.O.C. choose not to fund the operating expenses of the proposed correction center in the future, the facility would revert back to the County, possibly at a time when we would be in a better position to fund a Community Resource Center. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously agreed.to extend the meeting to 5:30 P.M. Mr. Williams then discussed the recent vandalism to the Douglas Elementary School amounting to $50,000 worth of damage. Wilson Bell, Regional Manager of the Department of Corrections, came before the Board and introduced his associates, Mr. McMullen and Mr. McKenzie. Mr. McKenzie displayed charts to the Board and presented his proposal. He then reviewed the concept and mission of the program, as well as the costs that would be involved in the renovation project. Mr. McMullen stated that they wanted to assure the Board that the Indian River Correctional Institute would continue to provide assistance to the County with community service projects. Daisy McCoy, representing the Florida Community Health Center, came before the Board and advised that her organization had previously submitted its proposal to Assistant Administrator Greene and Dr. C. B. Hardin. Lengthy discussion then followed and it was determined. more information was needed and ,that perhaps staff could come up with a plan for utilizing the buildings and utilities at the Douglas Elementary School. Commissioner Wodtke stated that he would delve into it further and comeback to the Board. The several bills and accounts against the County having been audited were examined and found to be correct were approved and warrants issued in settlement of same as follows: Treasury Fund Nos. 81344 - 81494 inclusive.
