In other words, the CIE demonstrates the economic feasibility of the entire comprehensive plan. The CIE also prioritizes the funding of all the public facilities identified in the other comprehensive plan elements based on the level of needs and the availability of funds. Th purpose o -f the-- CIE is to evaluate the need for public facilities in support of the Future Land Use Element, to estimate the costs of improvements for which local government has fiscal responsibility, to analyze the fiscal capability of the local government o finance and construct improvements, and to adopt f-inanci-a-1 pol-ic-i-es to gui-l€—the—fund ing—and- construction of improvements. For purposes of this element, a capital improvement is a substantial facilityland, building or major equipment) that costs at least $25,000 and which is required to meet adopted level of service standards. The CIE consists of five major components. These components are the inventory, analysis, concurrency management, goals, objectives and policies and implementation sections. The inventory section identifies financial resources ani existing locai—policies end practices. The analysis section discusses the fiscal assessment of both the county -comprehensiveplanas well as other issues concerning the CIE. The concurrency management section sets the administrative framework for maintaining public facility service levels. The goals, objectives and policies section provides the guidelines and general direction of the CIE. The implementation section includes a 5-vear schedule of capital improvements as well as monitoring and evaluation programs. DEFINITIONS Capital Improvement - an item which is differentiated from an operating item by two criteria, cost and frequency. 1 item has- major - costs (ice 2,000- -0r--more)-- and o=urS infrequently, usually in intervals greater than three years, Capital Improvement Element (CIE) - meets the requirements in F.S.9i-5. This is the plan element --which guides the provision of the needed capital improvements identified in the other plan elements. SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:09 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 177 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) - a multi-year schedule of r capital improvements which not only reflects those improvements 1. identified in the plan but also those other capital improvements which are desired by a community (e.g. police, fire, jails, etc.). Level of SerylCe (L•OS) Standards - indiratnrs of the extent or degree of service provided by, or proposed to be provided by, a facility based on and related to the operational characteristics of the facility. LOS indicates the capacity per unit of demand of each public facility. Bonds - indebtness represented by certificates of outstanding debt. Capital Budget - a plan of proposed capital outlay appropriations and means of financing them. Debt - an obligation resulting from the borrowing of money or from the purchase of goods and services. Debts of governments include trends, time warrants, and notes. Debt Service - payments --0f principal, interest and other required contributions to an amortization or sinking fund resulting from debt obligations. Earmarked Revenue - is a source of funds which is mandated by law, bond requirements, or policy to be used for a specific purpose. Enterprise Fund - a fund established to account for operations financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises. In a Enterprise Fund the costs of procuring goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis is financed or recovered primarily through user charges. Fiscal Year a twelve month period of time which the annual operating budget applies and at the end of which a government determines its financial position and the results of its operation. Fund - a fiscal and accounting entity with a self -balancing set of accounts in which cash and other financial resources, all related liabilities, and residual equities, or balances, and changes therein, are recorded and segregated to carry on specific activities or attain certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions or limitations. General Obligation Bonds - are bonds backed by a pledge of the general taxing power or "full faith and credit" of the issuing government. Grants - are contributions or gifts of cash or other assets from another government to be used or expended for a specific purpose, activity, or facility. SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:10 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 178 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT C Impact Fees - are fees charged to developers to cover, in whole or in part, the anticipated cost of improvements that will be necessary as a result of the development. The county currently collects impact fees for roads, water and sewer. Infrastructure - consists of public domain assets such as roads, bridges, curbs, streets, sidewalks, drainage systems, lighting systems, and similar assets that are immorable and of value only to the government unit. Revenue Bonds - are bonds payable from a specific source of revenue and which do not pledge the full faith and credit of the issuer. Revenue bonds are payable from identified sources of revenue, and do not permit the landholders to compel taxation or legislative appropriation of funds not pledged for payment of debt service. Revenues - increases in the net current assets of a governmental fund type from other than expenditure refunds and residual equity transfers. Also, general long-term debt proceeds and operating transfers in are classified as "other financing sources" rather than as revenues. Examples of revenues are taxes, fees, charges, special assessments, grants and interest income. Special Assessments - are a compulsory charge made against certain C properties to defray part or all of the cost of a specific improvement or service deemed to primarily benefit those properties. User Charge - a revenue source to recover all or part of the cost of goods`or services from those directly benefiting from them. Interest Income - is revenue earned on invested cash. EXISTING CONDITIONS The existing conditions section describes the county's revenues and expenditures from an historical as well as from a current. perspective. As shown in Table 13.1, sources of funds are first described by categories such as local, state and federal revenues. Then the revenues are described in the overall general format that the county's financial reports are prepared, which is shown in Table 13.2. Tables 13.3 and 13.4 provide further breakdowns of revenue sources which are specifically earmarked for traffic circulation, potable water, sanitary sewer and solid waste related expenditures. Also, a historical and current description of the county's overall general expenditures is provided. As shown in Table 13.5, these expenditures are described in categories according to the 3 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:10 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 179 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT financial reporting method mandated by the state. Table 13.6 provides a further breakdown of expenditures which are categorized as enterprise funds and are related to the potable water, sanitary sewer and solid waste sub -elements. The last part of the existing conditions section describes the county's existing debt as shown in Table 13.7. Both the public education district and health systems are countywide; however, the county does not have jurisdiction over (hese systems. The Indian Rive' r—County �hool---Board has jurisdiction over the public education system and the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitation has jurisdiction over the county's public health system. There are two hospitals located in the county. One is owned and operated by a private corporation die otherzs a pub] c—hospital--governed-by- the established Mian River County Hospital District. The geographc service area and location of the major system components for the public education and public health systems are identified in Figure 13.1 of this element. Also, these public facilities are discussed in further detail in the Land Use Element of this Alan. Financial Resources One of the most important functions of the Capital Improvements Element is the development of an inventory of the major sources of revenue available to the county. These revenue sources the c unty s—capabil4ty--to fund- needed -capital improvements .—l►e revenue sources are categorized into three main areas. They are local, state and federal revenue sources. Table 13.1 lists the county's local, ,, stati� e and federal revenue sources by the three main categorie. �Also, Table 13.1.1 the Wn„vunt of revenue and the percentage of total revenue for FY 1987-88 for each revenue source. Also the financial resources of the county are categorized according to the county's Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports which are mandated by State Statute. These categories include taxes, licenses and permits, intergovernmental, charges for services, fines and forfeitures, interest and miscellaneous and enterprise funds. Table 13.2 indicates the total amount of historic revenue generated from these sources for fiscal years 1903-84 through 1907-00. Local, State, Federal Sources Local Local sources are comprised of revenue sources which are levied, coIeced andeisbu sr a at the low—level solely at t e discretion of Indian River County. These local sources are ad valorem taxes, public utility charges, user fees, special assessments, other miscellaneous revenue and borrowing.

Everyone who owns real property pays ad valorem taxes. Ad valorem taxes are generally assess � ed mi11es, that is, thousandths of a dollar of assessed 'n value. The state mandated millage cap is 10 mills per local government, excluding voted millages, The Board of County .Commi- ssioners' policies allow revenue from ad valorem taxes to be used for both operating and capital project expenditures. Ad valorem tax revenue is the major source of revenue for Indian River County. In fiscal year 1987-88, it accounted for 35% of the county revenue. The millage rate is currently set at 4.87 mills, with a level of assessment of 100. Public Utility Charges Within government entities there often exists a set of departments who provide goods and services to the general public in a manner similar to the private sector. Such departments, classed under the genera-1—ti#le "enterprise funds" mus -fraise revenues from outside the government sector. Public utilities are those enterprise funds dedicated to providing water, sewer, electric, garbage or of er s milar servicesto the generate community. Public utility charges are the fees assessed by the public utility to the customer using the services. Revenue received from utility C, charges in FY 87-88 was approximately 6 percent of all county revenues. User Fees and Charges Because taxes alone cannot totally keep up with the increasing costs of services, governments have turned to user charges as an alternate revenue source. User charges are only assessed against those who directly benefit from a good or service that the government provides (taxes, by contrast, are compulsory charges levied by the government on the general public to finance service performed for a common benefit), Public utility charges are an example of users fees, as well as those fees imposed at recreation, site plan revenue, golf courses and for building permits. Special Assessments Special assessments are compulsory payments levied on real property for specific benefits generated by public investments or services; the assessment levied must fairly reflect the actual costs of the improvements. County revenues which fall under the general category of special assessments are street paving assessments, street lighting districts, county fire districts, municipal service taxing units, water and sewer improvements, drainage improvements and solid waste charges, 6 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:12 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 184 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Expenditures of special assessment revenues are restricted to public improvement projects which directly benefit the property owner or payee. For example, street paving assessment revenues must be spent on paving streets which directly benefit the payer of the assessment. In fiscal year 1987-88 the special assessment revenues listed above accounted for approximately 1.0 percent of the county's overall revenue. Franchise Fee/Tax A franchise fee or tax is a reimbursement fee to local government for the use of right of way, cost of regulation and opportunity costs. The county receives franchise revenue from electric, water, sewer, garbage and cable T.V. franchises. There is a direct relationship between franchise fee revenue and utility revenue; as franchise fee revenue increases so does utility revenue and vice versa. In the fiscal year 1987/88 the county collected over $2.5 million of which the majority of revenue was from Florida Power & Light (FPL). The franchise fee is classified as a tax under the state chart of accounts. Other Miscellaneous Revenue Included, in this category are road, water & sewer impact fees, various administrative fees, licenses and permits, fines, income received as interest from various county funds, rental income, private contributions, and other miscellaneous revenues. These sources generated approximately 12.0 percent of the county's revenues in FY 1987-88. Impact fees are fees charged in advance of new development which provide for the replacement of the capacity of existing infrastructure facilities which will be used by the new development. These fees are designed to pay for new or future infrastructure needs and cannot be used to pay for operating expenses. Like utility charges and user fees, impact fees must be spent on infrastructure needs which will directly benefit the specific group(s) which paid the impact fee. Borrowing The county uses borrowing as a financing vehicle to raise money for public purposes which are beyond the realm of current cash reserves, operating revenue and reasonable taxation. Borrowing money to pay for capital improvements can be done through either short-term or long-term financing. Short term financing is usually accomplished by the use of bond pools, issuance of notes, private placements with banks and the public placement of Voted General Obligation debt. Long term financing is usually achieved through the issuance of bonds issued on the public market. The county may sell lands for capital improvements without a referendum of the voters if the pledge used for the bond is a non -ad valorem revenue source. Conversely, any bond issue pledging ad valorem taxes requires approval by a voter referendum. 7 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:12 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 185 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT General Obligation Bonds General Obligation Bonds are bonds which are secured by the full faith and credit of the county. General obligation bonds issued by county governments are secured by a pledge of the issuer's ad valorem taxing power. The amount of ad valorem taxes necessary to pay the debt service are not subject to the constitutional property tax millage limits. Such bonds constitute debts of the issuer and require approval by election prior to issuance. Since the maturation of the 1983 Beach Bonds in 1988 the county has issued another general obligation bond issue which is the 1989 Library Bond Issue. Revenue Bonds Revenue bonds are bonds payable from a specific source of revenue and which do not pledge the full faith and credit of the issuer. Revenue bonds are payable from identified sources of revenue, and do not permit the bond holders to compel taxation or legislative appropriation of funds not pledged for payment of debt service. Pledged revenues may be derived from operation of financed projects, grants and excise or other specified non -ad valorem taxes. A public election is not required prior to issuance or validation of such obligations. The county has issued revenue bonds to finance improvements to its sanitary sewer, solid waste, potable water and golf course facili- ties. Revenue bonds have been issued by the Housing Authority to help finance the provision of more low-income housing units in the county. Also, revenue bonds have been issued to finance the cost of construction of various capital improvement projects. Deposits from bond revenues are put into the respective bond fund accounts for these projects whereby funds are specifically designated for a particular project, and user charges are used to pay-off the debt. Industrial Revenue Bonds These bonds are issued by the county and are assumed by companies or industries which use the revenue for construction of plants or facilities. Industries find these bonds attractive since they are tax-exempt bonds which have comparatively low interest rates. The county's advantage in issuing these bonds is that the private sector is responsible for repayment of the debt and that new employment opportunities are created in the community. 8 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:13 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 186 C CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Special Assessment Bonds Special assessment bonds are bonds issued to pay for capital improvements which impact specific areas or groups of property owners. Proceeds from the assessments levied against benefiting property owners are used to pay-off the bond debt. The issuance of these bonds does not need to be approved by voter referendum. Revenue bonds and special assessment bonds are similar in nature, except special assessment bond debt is paid -off by assessments levied against benefiting property owners and not from on-going user charges. The county has issued—three special assessment bonds. The first two bonds were used to extend the water and sewer distribution systems along S.R. 60 in the county. The third bond will be used for the solid waste disposal facility (landfill) expansion, Anticipation Notes theissua� anticipation notes is an example o€ a short-term (less than 5 years) method of financing. Notes usually have higher interest rates than bonds and _ha_-veshorter maturity dates than bonds. Anticipation notes are issued in anticipation of the receipt by the county of proceeds from the sale of corresponding €uturt—bond issues. The county has two outstanding anticipation notes which were issued in 1988. One is to be used for capital improvements in the Gifford,:area, and the other is for recreational improvements in the North Beach area, Additional Optional Local Revenue Sources Besides those local revenue sources identified above, there are other optional local revenue sources available to the County. Use of additional revenue sources may be necessary, depending on priorities mandated by the Board of County Commissioners and the availability of existing revenue sources. One option available to the county is to increase and/or implement additional user fees; this could involve implementing a countywide public user fee ordinance. Another option is to increase the county's existing road impact fees and/or implement additional impact fees to fund capital expenses associated with public services such as public safety and parks. The county—ate—also- generate additional existing sources of revenue and issuing obligation bonds. Another option is to raise property in the county. 9 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:13 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 187 revenueby pledging additional general ad valorem taxes on CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT State Sources The second main category of revenue sources is state sources. In fiscal year 1987-88, the county received approximately $10 million in state revenues. Revenue classified as state sources may be generated locally but collected by the state and returned to the county; state sources may be adopted by the county as a local option tax or fee but collected and returned by the state; or these sources may origi- nate from state general revenues and shared by the state according to state revenue allocation formulas. State revenue sources include tht—local government half -cent sales tax, local option sales tax levies, state revenue sharing, local option gas tax levies, constitutional gas tax, county gas tax, one -cent voted gas tax, optional tourist tax, alcoholic beverage license tax, pari -mutual tax and mobile home license tax. These sources are described in further detail below. Local Government Half -Cent Sales Tax The Local Government Half Cent Sales Tax Program allocates 9.888% of sales tax proceeds remitted by a sales tax dealer to a special account administered b—y—theDepart of Revenue, the—Local Government Half Cent Sales Tax clearing trust fund. These funds ' arie then earmarked for distribution to the governing body of that . county an each municipality within the county. Distribution of these monies to the counties is determined by a formula that first, uses a weighting factor based on the population of the incorporated and unincorporated areas and second, multiplied by 9.888% of the sales tax proceeds received from the county. Occasionally governments can receive supplemental distributions by meeting special eligibility criteria, however in no case can the total amount of supplemental and ordinary distribution exceed the maximum per capita amount allowed by law. Governments are allowed wide latitude in using the half cent sales tax. For counties, the law provides only that it be used for countywide tax relief or countywide programs. In Fiscal year. 1987-88, the county received approximately $2.7 million in half -cent sales tax revenue. Local Option Sales Tax Levies A governing body of a county so authorized, can levy a discretionary surtax on most transactions ender $5000 and except long distance telephone service subject to state sales tax. The extra tax is remitted to the department of revenue where the process, less administrative costs, are placed in a separate trust fund for each county. Proceeds are than distributed monthly to the counties. 10 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:13 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 188 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT The Local Government Infrastructure Surtax is a local option sales tax which may be imposed by counties for a period up to 15 years from date of levy, at a percentage of either .5% or 1% (Indian River County's tax, voted in last spring, is for 1%). This tax is used for one purpose only, to pay for capital projects as designated by referendum. It is estimated that the tax will generate $5.3 million yearly, with a 5% to 6% rate of growth each year. The tax is distributed based either on the specifics of an interlocal agreement or through a formula based on population, similar to the half cent sales tax. Indian River County uses the latter arrangement to determine its distribution. State Revenue Sharing State Revenue Sharing consists of taxes collected by counties for cigarettes, road and intangible personal property. They are deposited by the state into a special account titled "Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for Counties". Counties are eligible to share in these proceeds provided they meet the following criteria: - That law officers and firefighters are certified and meet state requirements; - That certification of taxable value for property tax levy is made in a timely and correct manner to the Department of Revenue; That the county's most recent financial reports have been sent to the Department of Banking and Finance, and post audits of these statements and accounts have been provided. Distribution of these collected revenues is based on several factors, including a weighting of county unincorporated population to incorporated population, the sales tax revenues remitted by the county and the county's guaranteed entitlement of proceeds by law. The Department of Revenue is required to make such distributions on a monthly basis. Counties are allowed much discretion in using these funds for public service needs. However, if a county received more than the guaranteed entitlement, certain restrictions apply to the use of excess monies. In fiscal year 1987-88, the county received approximately $1.5 million from this source of revenue. For the five year projection period, this revenue source is expected to generate approximately $8.2 million of revenue. 10.1 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:14 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 189 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT oca"ption-Gas� x Local Option Gas Tax is a tax varying from one to six cents on every gallon of motor fuel and special fuel sold at retail in the county. The tax may be levied for a period not to exceed 30 years, Upon expiration, the tax can be reimposed provided that a new determination of how funds are distributed to the county is made. The funds collected may only be utilized by a county or municipality for transportation expenditures. Transportation expenditures are state shared revenue monies used by local government for such programs as streetlighting, traffic signs, engineering and pavement marking, bridge maintenance and operation, public transportation and operations, the funds may— also be used to issue bonds through the State Division of Bond Finance Department of General Services. The revenues received from the tax are pledged to secure payment of the bonds. The tax remitted to the department of revenue by the retailer is placed in a Local Option Gas Tax Trust Fund. The proceeds of the tax, less any administrative changes are distributed from the fund used—ori each eligible governments local transportation expenditure of the past 5 years, as a proportion of the total of such expenditures for the county an all municipalities within the county. This proportion is recalculated every 10 years. To qualify for eligibility a county must meet the standards as set forth in parts II and VI of Chapter 218, some of these rules are mentioned under the definition for Revenue Sharing. The county currently utilizes the revenue collected from the six -cent million per year. Constitutional Gas Tax local option gas tax. The tax is approximately $1.9 Constitutional Gas Tax is defined as an excise or license tax of two cents per gallon imposed upon the first sale or first removal from storage (after importation into Florida) of motor fuel. Revenues from this levy become state funds at the time of collection by the refiner, importer or wholesaler. Generally, the constitutional gas tax is distributed to the counties based on a consumption factor (determined by the state) times the total number of gallons statewide upon which a tax was paid on retail sales. The distribution determination must adhere to the revised state constitution of 1968. SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:14 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 190 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Once the distribution is determined, the State Board of Administrative uses 80% of the proceeds to meet the debt service on county bond issues to which it was pledged: When the service portion is met the remainder is sent to the county. The 20% portion is sent directly to the Board of County Commissioners unless it is felt that additional funds are needed to meet the debt service requirement. The county receives approximately $919,000 per year of Constitutional Gas Tax revenues. County Gas Tax County Gas Tax is similar in form to the Constitutional Gas Tax. This is an additional one cent tax levied on the first sale or first removal from storage, after importation into the state, of motor fuel. The tax proceeds are remitted to the Department of Revenue, who distributes the monies based on similar factors used for the constitutional gas tax.. -A "consumption factor" determined -by 1 w is multiplied by the number of gallons of fuel statewide upon which tax was paid on retail sales. With this tax, however, an additional factor considered is a ratio based on the cer i-fie assessment of the level of county gas tax distributed to the local government to the .statewide distribution. The counties are required to use the county gas tax solely for such projects as acquisition of right-of-way; construction, operation and maintenance of transportation facilities, roads and bridges; reduction of bonded indebtedness of the county or its road and bridge special district; and other transportation purposes. The county currently receives revenue from the county gas tax in the amount of approximately $411,000 per year. One -Cent Voted Gas -Tax- Any county in the state can, subject to referendum, impose a one cent voted gas tax on every gallon of motor fuel and special fuel sold at retail in the county. The proceeds from this tax are sent by the seller to the Department of Revenue where they are deposited in an account called the Voted Gas Tax Trust Fund. The department is then responsible for distributing these monies back to the counties. The funds must be used for the costs of establishing, operating and maintaining a transportation system and for the construction, reconstruction and maintenance of roads and streets. The county does not presently utilize this tax. An estimate of the possible revenue generated from this tax if it were imple- mented is approximately $450,000 per year.

The county may elect to impose the tax on subcounty special districts but is responsible for aiding the Department of Revenue in identifying these rental units subject to tax in each district. The tax levied is generally one or two percent. Counties may set an additional one percent above the 2% rate through an extraordinary vote or the governing board or by referendum, provided that the original tax has been in place at least 3 years prior to date of levy of the new tax. The person receiving consideration for the rental—or—lease remits the tax to the Department of Revenue. These collections, less costs of administration, are returned monthly to the county which imposed the tax, to be used for the following purposes: * Acquire, construct, operate and promote one -ate more publicly owned and operated convention centers, such as sports stadiums, coliseums or auditoriums within the district that the—tax—is imposed; * Promote and advertise tourism in the State of Florida and nationally and internationally; * To fund convention bureaus, and information bureaus as county agencies with the Chamber of Commerce and similar the county; other tourist or by contract associations in * To finance beach development, and restoration as well as shoreline protection and restoration of inland lakes and rivers to which there is no public access; * Those counties with less than 500,000 population may also use the funds to construct, improve, maintain and promote museums, zoos, fishing piers or native centers which are publicly owned and operated either by the county or not for profit organizations who open to the public; * The revenues may also be pledged to secure and liquidate revenue bonds issued by the county subject to certain limitations. The county has adopted a tourist tax rate of 2%, which went into effect April 1987. Revenue collections received—from the tax for fiscal year 1987-88 were estimated to be $228,000. r2 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:15 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 192 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT ( . .

The state legislature has placed a ceiling of $446,500 on the amount of pari -mutual tax revenues distributed annually to the county. Mobile Hbme License Tax The recreational type vehicles and mobile homes are subject to one of two kinds of license tax depending on their mobility. Recreational vehicles and mobile homes that are considered permanently affixed to the land are subject only to a small annual sticker fee, as in many cases they may be taxed as real property as well. In the 1987 edition of the Florida Statues, Chapter 320.0815, the annual cost of $3 is divided by the government in three ways: $2,50 to the county's tax collector, $.25 to the county's property appraiser and $.25 to the State Department of Transportation, to defray the cost of manufacture and handling of the stickers. Recreational and mobile home vehicles that are mobile are required to pay an annual license tax depending on the size of the unit. These funds are collected by the county tax collector and remitted to the Department of Transportation. Of the amount remitted, $1.50 is paid into the general fund, the remaining goes to a state treasury fund called License Tax Collection Trust Fund. These monies are distributed to the counties; one half to the District School Board, the remaining half to the Board of County Commissioners (for those units located in unincorporated areas) and to the cities within the county (for those units located within corporate limits). The county receives approximately $142,000 per year of mobile home license tax revenue. Additional Optional State Revenue Sources There are other available state revenues which could generate additional revenue for the county. One revenue source which is not already in existence is the One -Cent Voted Gas Tax, As explained in more detail earlier in the text, this tax is a local option tax that can be levied for every gallon of motor fuel sold in the county.

The two largest sources are the Local Government One -Half Cent Sales Tax and State Revenue Sharing. In fiscal year 1987-88, the One -Cent Sales Tax accounted for 34.6% of the total revenue collected from the 'Intergovernmental' category. State Revenue Sharing accounted for 19.4% of the revenue. The balance of the- revenue received consistsof Insurance Agent Fees, Race Track Taxes, Constitutional Gas Taxes, County Gas Taxes and other miscellaneous revenues. Charges for Services This revenue is derived mainly from court fees, property appraiser fees, or recording of legal instruments, sale of maps and publications, library related fees and other miscellaneous fees or charges. As shown in Table 13-2, this category generated a total / revenue.of $3,478,601 in fiscal year 1987-88. Fines and Forfeitures This revenue consists of court fines, confiscated property, police education fines, library fines and fines for violations of local county ordinances.

In other words, these funds are self-supporting and operate similar to a private enterprise, rather than a public entity. Therefore, enterprise funds are categorized separately for budget and accounting purposes. Currently the county has a total of five enterprise funds. These five consist of Building, Golf Course, Housing Authority, Water and Sewer and Solid Waste enterprise funds. Enterprise fund revenues are also shown in Table 13.2 for fiscal years 1983-84 through 1987-88. The majority of the revenue generated in the 'Enterprise Funds' category is collected from charges for services. In fiscal year 1987-88, charges for services comprised 88.6% of the total revenue collected from enterprise fund revenue. Earmarked Revenue Sources Besides the overall summary of the county's revenue sources which is provided above, revenues which are earmarked for specific expenditures relating to individual comprehensive plan elements C are identified. Earmarked revenues are sources of funds which are mandated by law or policy to be used for a specific purpose. These sources are gas taxes, traffic impact fees and enterprise fund revenues. The comprehensive plan elements which have these earmarked revenue sources are the Traffic Circulation Element and the three Enterprise Fund Sub- Elements (i.e. Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste Sub- Elements). Tables 13.3 and 13.4 summarize these earmarked revenues collected from fiscal years 1983-84 through 1987-88 and are described below. Gas Taxes and Impact Fees (Traffic) Roadway improvements identified in the Traffic Circulation and Capital Improvements Elements are infrastructure investments to be made by the county. There are a number of revenues derived from motor fuel (gas) taxes, as well as impact fees, that are directly earmarked for traffic circulation system improvements. Table 13.3 shows these revenue sources for fiscal years 1983-84 through 1987-88.

Constitutional Gas Tax The Constitutional Gas Tax is a two cent tax per gallon of motor fuel sold in the state. The state allocates the county's portion by using a distribution formula multiplied by the state's monthly motor fuel collections. According to Table 13.3, the county received $919,175 of revenue in fiscal year 1987-88 from this gas tax. Twenty percent of the revenue received must be used for maintenance of roadways. The remaining eighty percent must be used for acquisition and/or construction of roadways in the county. 17 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:17 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 199 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT County Gas The County Gas Tax is a one cent tax per gallon of motor fuel sold in the state.

This revenue must be used for county transportation related expenditures. Traffic Impact Fees Unlike the gas taxes, traffic impact fee revenue is a local source of revenue. The Board of County Commissioners in 1986 adopted traffic or road impact fees on all new development in the county. As stated in Table 13.3, the county collected approximately $1.3 million in traffic impact fee revenues in fiscal year 1987-88. This revenue must be used only for new roadway improvements in the county. These fees a-re—designed�-to pay�-for—new—or future infrastructure needs and cannot be used to pay for operating expenses. Enterprise Funds (Water, Sewer, Solid Waste) Capital improvements identified in the Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer and Solid Waste Sub -Elements and the Capital Improvements. Element are infrastructure investments to be made by the County. There are revenues derived from charges for services and other miscellaneous revenue that are directly earmarked for potable water, sanitary sewer and solid waste improvements. These revenues are categorized as enterprise funds. As discussed in previous sections of this element, enterprise funds are funds which pay for the post of their operations and capital improvements from user fees/charges and do not receive funding from general county revenues. Therefore, they are self-supporting and operate much like a private enterprise. Table 13.4 provides a summary of the revenues received from the potable water, sanitary sewer and solid waste enterprise funds for fiscal years 1983-84 through 1987-88. As indicated in Table 13,4, the charges for services revenue category has consistently in- creased through the five year period.

Overall General Expenditures The overall expenditures for the county are summarized in Table 13.5 for fiscal years 1983-84 through 1987-88. Each category generally includes expenses for capital outlay which represent the cost of equipment replacement and additions, minor expansion of facilities and furnishing for buildings. A brief discussion of each expenditure category mentioned in Table 13.5 is provided below. General Government The expenses accumulated in the general government services category in Table 13.5 are for the legislative, administrative, legal, finanei&l,comprehensiu-e pl-anning and general maintenance functions of the county.

Transportation Indian River County is responsible for transportation facilities such as roads. This category includes the personnel and general maintenance costs of providing roadways, but not the cost of construction and expansion of these facilities. In fiscal year 1987-88, the county spent over $7.5 million providing this service. 20 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:18 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 202 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT Economic Environment This category includes veterans services and housing/urban development services. The county spent $81,902 in fiscal year 1987-88 providing these economic environment services. Human Services The county provides funds for general health care, including mental health services and welfare services. These services among others encompass the Human Services category. Table 13.5 indicates that over $2.1 million were spent on these services in fiscal year 1987-88. Culture/Recreation Indian River County operates and maintains a number of beach accesses, recreation areas and library facilities. These expenses are for personal services, operating expenditures and capital outlay. The county spent approximately $2.2 million in fiscal year 1H7-88 on providing cultural/recreational services for its residents. Debt Service Debt service is interest and payments made by the county on its debt, As Table 13.5 indicates, in fiscal year 1987-88 the county total debt service was over $4.4 million. This figure includes principal retirement, interest and other miscellaneous debt service. Enterprise Funds Table 13.5 identifies historic expenditures for the potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste and other miscellaneous enterprise funds for fiscal years 1983-84 through 1987-88. Table 13.5 identifies the expenditures by operating expenses and other miscellaneous expenses. In fiscal year 1987-88, the county's enterprise funds combined had a total expenditure of approximately $8,4 million. 21 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:19 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 203 ..

Table 13.7 summarizes the various existing long-term debt of the county as of December, 1988. Table 13.7 lists the debt by issue, the initial amount, the amount remaining, the average interest rate, the final maturity, the bond life remaining, the bond rating and the security pledge. According to Table 13.7, the county has issued revenue supported bonds such as water and sewer revenue bonds, water and sewer assessment bonds, solid waste assessment bonds, recreation revenue bonds, Gifford bond anticipation notes and North Beach bond anticipation notes. These bonds were issued for a total of $40,940,000 of revenue. Also, as stated in Table 13. 7, the county issued two capital improvement bonds which were non -ad valorem tax supported. The total tax for these bonds was $13,510,000. Local Policies and Practices As part of the capital improvements planning process, it is important to do an inventory of current Indian River County policies and practices which guide the timing, location, expansion, or increase in capacity of capital facilities. These policies and practices relate to the county's existing level of service standards, impact fee programs, the existing comprehensive plan and enterprise fund accounts. Existing Level of Service'(LOS) Standards Level of service (LOS) standards are indicators of the extent or degree of service provided by, or proposed to be provided by, a facility based on and related to the operational characteristics of the facility. LOS indicates the capacity per unit of demand of. each public facility. LOS standards.can affect the timing and location of development by guiding development to areas where facilities may have excess capacity. 23 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:20 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 205 k ti 1.

Capital Improvement Programs A capital improvement program (CIP) is a plan for capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a fixed period of years to meet anticipated capital needs. This program identifies projects which the county plans to undertake and presents esti- mates of the costs and the full resources needed to finance the projects. The county currently does not have an overall capital improvement program. However, each element of the Comprehensive Plan will have its own individual 5 -year Capital Improvement Schedule identifying the needs, costs and timeframes for capital project implementation. Also, the Capital Improvement Element (CIE) itself will consolidate all of the elements capital improvement needs and develop an overall 5 -year Capital Improvement Schedule. The overall program will list the needs, costs, timeframes, priorities and the necessary financial resources to implement the identified capital improvement projects in the elements for the county in the next 5 years. Impact Fees Impact fees are charges to developers for off-site improvements that must be provided by the local government to serve the new development. This financing technique is one strategy the county can use for implementing the Capital Improvements Element (CIE). 25 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:21 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 208 t CIE ELEMENT Currently, the county place. These fees applicable elements. - has traffic, water and sewer impact fees in are discussed in further detail in their Impact fees may indirectly affect the timing and location of development. For example, a development may choose to locate in an area having lower traffic impact fees, since these fees vary in costs depending on the location in the county. Also, impact fee costs may postpone or prohibit development from occurring due to the potential economic hardship. The Existing Comprehensive Plan The Indian River County Comprehensive Plan adopted in September 1982 and subsequently amended, has served as a guide for capital improvement programming through active community and planning staff input on various elements such as land use, traffic cir- culation—and others which directly affect capital improvemen needs. The comprehensive plan has also provided a framework for evaluating the capability of infrastructure to support zoning changes and development proposals. Enterprise Funds Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises, when the intent of the governing Board is that the full costs of providing the service to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges Enterprise funds have been used to ensure that the true cost of a facility or service is born by the user or recipient through collection of user charges. Currently, the county operates its solid waste services, golf course facility, building department services and utility services as enterprise funds. 26 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:21 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 209 CIE ELEMENT As a tool for affecting the timing and location of development, user charges may be designated to vary with the quantity and location of the service provided. Thus, charges could be greater for providing services further from urban areas, and the reverse for distances closer to urban areas. In this way user charges could affect the economics of development locating further away from urban areas, 27 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:21 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 210 l CIE ELEMENT ANALYSIS The analysis section of the element analyzes the county's fiscal ability to provide adequate capital improvements, based on historic and projected revenue and expenditure patterns. The analyses prepared in the other applicable comprehensive plan elements have identified capital improvements needed to meet the demands of existing and future development. The needs of other public facilities such as jails, libraries and public education and health systems are also discussed. Revenue and expenditure projections are identified, and analyzed and a fiscal assessment of the needs (costs) versus the projected available revenue is included. Analysis of the Timing and Location of Capital Improvements The Future Land Use and Traffic Circulation Elements are directly related to the timing and location of capital improvements. The provision of land use density guidelines and intensities of land uses stated in the Future Land Use Element are based upon several criteria. These criteria are environmental constraints, land use compatibility, the existing character of specific geographic areas, hurricane evacuation capabilities, availability of public facilities and services and other policies and criteria of the Comprehensive Plan, Using the Future Land Use Element to plan for the provision of public facilities and services promotes compact development by emphasizing infill development in urban areas and maximizes the efficiency of existing facilities and services in under-utilized areas. Utilizing the Future Land Use Element also controls premature "leap -frog" development and ensures that adequate facilities will be present consistent with the Future Land Use Element, Maximizing the use of existing facilities and controlling "leap -frog" development will contribute to a cost-effective and efficient service delivery system. Using the Future Land Use Map in the Future Land Use Element and Future Thoroughfare Plan Map in the Traffic Circulation Element in planning for future locations of facilities will provide for efficient and orderly expansion of public facilities, provide for efficient growth in desired areas, discourage growth in undesirable areas, and protect environmentally sensitive lands. Development orders will be based upon the availability of adequate public facilities and services which will provide additional support for the Future Land Use and Traffic Circulation Elements. The objectives of the Future Land Use and Traffic Circulation Elements will be furthered by the extension of facilities and services in a logical and efficient manner. This will be accomplished by implementing and enforcing the adopted Capital Improvements Element and its corresponding 5 -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements. This ensures that facilities and services will be in place concurrent with future land use development. In 28 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:22 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 211 CIE ELEMENT the case of transportation facilities, as long as these facilities are scheduled within three of the five years of the Schedule of Capital Improvements, these facilities are considered concurrent. Therefore, if a capital improvement project is not on the adopted 5 -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements Pian and the improvement is required to maintain adopted level of service standards, future development will be prohibited until the necessary facilities are in place. This in effect indirectly controls the timing and location of future land use development and in turn furthers the implementation of the Future Land Use and Traffic Circulation Element's objectives. Specifically, the suture Land Use Element of—the plan de 'nea es existing and future year 2010 urban service areas and the location of public facilities, referenced in Figure 2.33. The proposed Land Use Map, Figure 2.34 a/b/c, in the Future Land Use Element, directly relates to the location of public facilities and the urban service areas. The Land Use Map graphically portrays the maximum land use densities/intensities for the county by y : T the ear 201Qhe residential land use densities in some areas are as high as 10 units to the acre in the urban service areas and as low as 1 unit per M acres outside the urban service areas. The commercial/industrial land use areas are located along the US#1 Corridor and nodal areas located along-mC]-or—trarspor-t-ation-rout and intersections. The use of a schedule of capital improvements is important in the timing and provision of improvements to existing facilities or services and construction of new facilities. The prioritization of projects and scheduling of projects based on projected need and available revenue will ensure that existing resources are properly allocated. This scheduling effort will also ensure that the appropriate areas will be served by needed facilities, thus maintaining adopted levels of service.

The needs are based on the public facility requirements as identified in the other applicable individual comprehensive plan elements and the Future Land Use element. For purposes of this element, a capital improvement is a substantial facility (land, building or major equipment) that costs at least $25,000 and which may be paid for in phases. Capital improvement needs through fiscal year 1995 are identified for drainage, recreation, traffic circulation (roadways), conservation/aquifer recharge, sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste and other public facilities. Table 13.8 summarizes these needs for fiscal years 1990-91 through 1994-95. Public facilities such as public education and health systems are provided countywide; however, the county itself does not have fiscal responsibility for these systems. However, the county is required by State Statutes to provide some funds and health care facilities for the Indian River County Health Department (IRCHD). The Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitation appoints the management of the IRCHD, maintains the financial records and prepares its own financial report separate from the county. An analysis and description of public schools and health centers is provided in the Future Land Use and Introductory Elements of this plan. Based on general locational criteria for public schools and health centers, it is assumed that any new facilities which may be constructed in the county by 1995 will be located in existing infrastructure service areas or designated expansion areas. Therefore, these systems may be considered to be adequately served by appropriate infrastructure. Table 13.8 summarizes the county's capital improvement expenditure needs for fiscal years 1990-91 through 1994-95. Detailed capital improvements schedules, which list each improvement project, are provided in each applicable comprehensive plan element. The capital improvement needs in Table 13.8 are identified by element name or category, along with estimated costs per fiscal year. The total estimated costs for capital improvement expenditures for the five year period is approximately $131.5 million. 29 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:23 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 213 CIE ELEMENT The cost estimates in Table 13,8 were based on various sources. The traffic circulation costs were derived from the Florida Department of Transportation unit costs per lane mile of road construction. Land acquisition costs were based on recent sale prices of similar properties in the county and on a cost per acre basis. Facility construction costs were based on the county's past experiences in constructing similar facilities and empirical cost estimates.

The purpose of this section is to determine whether sufficient revenue will be available within the existing budgeting framework utilized by the countyo fund the needed improvements at the time they will be required. The assessment process consists of estimating future receipts of revenues and balancing these receipts against anticipated expenditures. Using this process, it is possible to quantify annual revenue surpluses and shortfalls, providing a basis for examining opportunities for financing the needed capital improvements. The expenditure estimates include the operating- costs peratingcosts associated with operations of the county. Projected Revenues Th county's revenues are projected for fiscal year 1958-8-9 through 1994-95. The projected revenues are first analyzed in this section in general overall terms. Afterwards, earmarked projected revenuesare di.scusse as well a he county's tax base and millage rate projections. Overall Projected Revenues Table 13.9 summarizes the county's projected overall revenues for fiscal years 1988-89 through 1994-95. These revenues include the county's general governmental funds and enterprise funds. As Table 13.9 indicates, in fiscal year 1994-95 the county is expected to collect overA1_ll million in total revenue. Of the total projected revenue in fiscal year 1994-95, over $21.8 million is expected to be from Enterprise Fund revenue, which is approximately 18% of the total revenue projected. A discussion of Enterprise Fund revenue and its composition is provided in the Existing Conditions section of this element. Ad valorem taxes are projected to be over $56.4 million in fiscal year 1994-95. These taxes are part of the 'Taxes' category in Table 13.9. Ad valorem taxes are the county's largest individual revenue source and account for approximately 50 percent of the county's total revenue in fiscal year 1994-95. For the five year time period, beginning in fiscal year 1990-91 and ending in fiscal year 1994-95, the county is projected to receive a total of over $479 million in revenues. 30 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:23 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 215 If .1111�1 l�'J�P♦tNpNOtW W 00 J�J Ch 0) 01 wwwwww 12 n H i N C1 Ot Ot 01 U1 Ut ♦QQt ♦(Qj1 (Q1 • �QJ ♦�jQ1 •pQ ♦Qp ♦QQ ♦pQ ♦pQ ♦pQ •pQ Q� r. 31 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:24 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 216 CIE ELEMENT Earmarked Projected Revenues Earmarked revenues are revenues which are restricted in their use.

Debt financing is basically borrowing money using the county's assets as collateral. The primary rationale for becoming obligated for providing the capital facilities through indebtedness is that it spreads the cost of the facility over its useful life and thus is paid for by those who will use the facility. Table 13.16 provides a summary of the county's estimated available bonding capacity without public vote. The county's bonding capacity is identified for 10, 20 and 30 years.

The estimated costs of the county's capital improvement needs for this five year projection period are derived from each applicable comprehensive plan element's capital improvement schedule or program and other identified facility needs. The estimated costs of these capital improvements are summarized by individual element and year in Table 13.18. Also, Table 13.23 summarizes each individual element's capital improvement needs, along with their cost, timeframe, and revenue source(s). The estimated revenues to be used to pay for the projected capital improvements needs consist of existing revenue sources and proposed revenue sources. For purposes of this analysis, proposed revenues are assumed to have been approved and implemented as required in order to balance anticipated revenues and expenditures. Table 13.18 provides a summary of the projected revenues and expenditures by element category for capital improvements needs for fiscal years 1990-91 through 1994-95. This table identifies each revenue by source and amount of revenue for each year by element. The table also identifies the amount of estimated expenditure costs for each element by year. The resulting balance of each element's costs versus its revenues is also provided in Table 13.18. The projected revenue from the adopted One -Cent Local Option Sales Tax identified in Table 13,18 is carried over from year to year. The tax became effective June 1, 1989. The county anticipated revenue from the tax is approximately $5.3 million per year for a maximum of 15 years. It is projected that the tax will have a %5 to 6% growth factor per year beginning in fiscal year 1989-90. For the Traffic Circulation element, estimated revenues consist of gas taxes, traffic impact fees and a portion of the adopted One Cent Local Option Sales Tax. As indicated in Table 13.18, the revenues are expected to fund the anticipated costs of the identified traffic circulation capital improvement needs for the five year period. The estimated revenue from gas taxes is not exclusively for capital improvement financing. These revenues are also used to fund other transportation related expenditures such as operating costs. However, maintenance costs have been removed from the revenue estimates, The Drainage element's revenue sources consist of the use of funds from the road and bridge, transportation improvement and park improvement funds. Also, revenues are proposed from the adoption of a stormwater utility charge and special assessments through 40 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:28 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 227 CIE ELEMENT municipal servicing taxing units (MSTU). These revenue sources and their proposed uses are further discussed in the Drainage Element. As Table 13.18 indicates, these revenues are expected to fund the needed drainage capital improvements. The Conservation /Aquifer Recharge Element revenue consists of the adoption of a general obligation bond using ad valorem tax debt as a pledge source. The issuance of this bond would require voter approval. There is a possibility that one cent local option sales tax monies may be used to fund a portion of the expenditures beginning in 1992-93. The Recreation and Open Space Element revenues consist of a combination of one cent local option sales tax revenues and an ad valorem tax contribution. Also, implementation of a parks and recreation user fee and impact fee are optional_ revenue sources. This user fee would be based on the information provided in the IRC Parks & Recreation User Fee and Revenue Study, November 1987. As Table 13.18 indicates, the Housing Element's revenue sources consist of a one time contribution in fiscal year 1993-94 from the county's ad valorem tax revenues. Included—In the_ county capital_ improvement fiscal assessment analysis are the needed revenues and anticipated costs for financing additional or other facilities for the five year period. These other facilities include a new health care facility, a new main library and north county branch library, new fire stations, new courthouse facilities and a expansion of jail facilities. As indicated in Table 13.18, the anticipated revenues for these facilities are monies received from the adopted One -Cent Local Option Sales Tax and an increase in the millage rates for the Fire Districts. Also, revenues for the library facilities are derived from a grant, a contribution from the general fund and revenues from a voted general obligation bond issue. These revenues are anticipated to completely fund the other facility needs. An analysis of the needs and cost for the Sanitary Sewer, Potable Water and Solid Waste enterprise funds are provided in Table 13.18. The Enterprise Funds are self-supporting and operate much like a private enterprise. Their expenditures cannot exceed their revenues; therefore, their revenues and expenditures balance. The projected revenues for financing the capital improvement needs for the Sanitary Sewer and Potable Water Elements are identified in Table 13.18. These revenues include impact fees and revenues from the issuance of revenue, bonds. 41 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:28 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 228 CIE ELEMENT G- _ The Solid Waste Element's capital improvement needs and the revenues earmarked for financing these needs are also identified in Table 13.18 under the Enterprise Fund category. The anticipated revenue sources for so id waste capital improvement expenditures are—user charges/assessments for -the—five—year period. The county's total projected revenue for capital improvement financing for fiscal -years 1990-91 through 1994=95 i -s $168.2 million, The total estimated costs for capital improvement expenditures for the same five year period is approximately $131.5 million. These figures are based on the summation of revenue and expenditure amounts listed in Table 13.18. Through the balancing of revenue and expenditures the county's capital improvements are compe y financedusing various funding resources. Therefore, the county's Capital Improvements Element is financially feasible for the five year period encompassing fiscal years 1990-91 through 1994-95. Specifieal-ly, the Future Land Use Element of the plan delineates existing and future year 2010 urban service areas and the location of public facilities, referenced in Figure 2,33. The proposed land use map, Figure 2.34 a/b/c, in the Future Land Use Element, directly relates to the location of public facilities and the urban service areas. The land use map graphically portrays the maximum land use densities/ intensities for the county by the year 2010. The residential land use densities in some areas are in the urban service areas and as low as 1 unit per 40 acres outside the urban service areas. The commercial/industrial land use areas are located along the US #1 corridor and nodal areas located along major transportation routes and intersections.

This system will set the parameters for issuing development orders consistent with level -of -service standards. While this concurrency management plan sets policy and establishes a process, the specific application of this system will be through the county's land development regulations. When updated in conformance with state requirements, these regulations will define the details of the concurrency management system and establish its administrative requirements. The major purpose of the concurrency management system is to detail the specifics of implementing the county's level -of -service standards. For that reason, the concurrency management system must apply to all development activity in the county. The system must then identify the applicable standards for each facility, the geographic scope of the concurrency requirement, and the method of monitoring facility capacity changes. Most importantly, this system must specify when facilities are considered available, Project Applicability All development orders issued by the county must comply with the concurrency management plan and meet level -of -service standards. Development orders are county approvals for initiating construction and/or land development activity. Specifically, development orders consist of the following: comprehensive plan amendments, rezonings, site plan approval, preliminary plat approval, development of regional impact (DRI) development order approval, planned development preliminary approval, and building permit approval for single-family- homes. For purposes of concurrency imanagement, rezonings and comprehensive plan amendments are not considered development orders. Service Standards Level -of -service standards are established in this plan for the following facilities: sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste, drainage, recreation, and transportation. These are explained in detail in the applicable comprehensive plan elements. No level -of -service has been set for mass transit; justification for this is included in the mass transit element. For each facility, level -of -service is a measure of the relation- ship between demand for the service and the capacity of the facility. Capacity, however, is measured differently for each �.. type of facility. Table 13.19, Service Level Measures, identifies 46 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:29 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 233 CIE ELEMENT both the capacity and demand These measures are addressed identified in the applicable measures for each public facility. in detail and existing capacities are elements of the comprehensive plan. Concurrency requires that the specific facility within the geographic scope of a proposed project have sufficient capacity to accommodate the project's demand. If that capacity is not available, the project cannot be approved. The principal function of the concurrency management system then is to provide a mechanism whereby demand and capacity measures can be compared on a project by project basis. Table 13,19, Service Level Measures, provides the criteria for establishing a demand to capacity comparison for a proposed project. While most ofthecharacters tics a-s€l-f--ex pLar1at , one needs -clarification;—.his is the geographic scope for the traffic public facility category. For concurrency purposes, affected roadways will be those roadways impacted by a project's traffic. All projects, regardless of size, are deemed to impact the roadway on Whichthe PrnJect—fr-onts or to which the project directs trips. Level of service standards are to apply to all requests for development orders and permits. Level of service standards are measurements based on peak -hour trips and based on volume ranges or average travel speed for the peak hour. Demand Demand is an important component of the concurrency management system. Essentially, demand is a measure of facility use. When compared to facility capacity, demand can indicate the level -of - service for the facility. As depicted in Table 13.19, Service Level Measures, demand can be measured quantitatively for each public facility category. While the demand function for each facility consists of applying a rate to the number—of—facilityestimation of total demand is more complex. For concurrency management purposes, demand can be divided into three types: existing, committed, and projected. Each must be considered separately for purposes of concurrency management. °Existing Demand Existing demand is simply the current level of use for a facility. For a roadway, it is the peak hour trips; for water and wastewater treatment plants, it is the existing flow volume measured in �a11-0ns- perms . Theses- figures ar Jnc1uded--aithinapplicable plan elements. 47 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:30 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 234 CIE ELEMENT Existing demand then reflects the use of a facility by the current population. When compared to capacity, existing demand can show if the facility has unused capacity or if it is functioning over capacity. Existing demand, however, is not static. As population increases and dwelling units come on-line, existing demand increases. These increases in existing demand can be identified through facility u -se measurementS. ample, regul-a-rtraffic counts tone on roads or treatment plant flow records are examples of facility use measurements indicating existing demand levels. As existing demand levels for facilities are updated, committed demand levels must be reduced if projects representing committed demand have Come on-line— °Committed Demand Committed demand is a measure of the impact that approved development projects will have on facilities. When added to existing demand for a facility, the committed demand for that facility-wi-i produc" snore -accurate- estimate of unused -capacity - This estimate of unused capacity represents the amount of capacity that can realistically be allocated to new projects. Committed em determined for -which_ development -orders—have been approver and which ar_e still valid. Then the specific facilities which will be impacted by these projects must be determined; these facilities will be roadways and the landfill, and they may be treatment plants, drainage conveyances, and recreation facilities. Finally, the amount of demand on each facility attributable to committed demand must be estimated. Applicable elements of the plan identify the rates to be applied to each project to determine facility demand. Traffic volumes, for example, can be derived by applying a trip rate to the size of the project. Sanitary sewer and potable water both have rates of 250 gallons per day per equivalent residental unit. Other public facility rates are discussed fully in the applicable comprehensive plan element. Like existing demand, committed demand must be determined on a facility by facility basis. For example, both existing demand and committed demand must be determined for each major roadway, each treatment plant, each major drainage conveyance, each park category by district, and the active cell in the landfill. Also, like existing demand, committed demand estimates must be modified as projects are completed and the -impacts are -measured by existing demand; committed demand estimates must also be modified as new development orders are approved and old development orders are terminated. 4E SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:30 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 235 CIE ELEMENT 'Projected Demand (� The third type of demand is projected demand. This consists of two -types. is non—committed sin.gl-e-family lat demand, while the other is new project demand. Non -committed, single-family lot projected demand relates to the facility impacts associated with construction on single-family lots in old subdivisions and construction on single-family unplatted lots and acreage. Since this type of construction will impact facilities, the demand anticipated from this type of activity must be considered in facility expansion plans. For this reason it is necessary to maintain an accurate inventory of unbuilt, platted lots and consider the impacts of construction on these lots. The second type of projected demand is new project demand. For each new project, demand estimates must be made on a facility by facility basis. Only if sufficient available capacity exists for each facility to be impacted --can the project be approved_ and a d-evelopment order issued. Upon issuance of a development order, the estimated impacts on each facility would be considered as committed demand. Availability of Capacity Facility capacity can b-e---a-ssessed--�-two different ways. First, facility capacity can be determined by facilities that are existing and available; examples would be existing treatment plants and existing roadways with a set number of lanes. The second manner for assessing facility capacity is to consider bot existing, in -the -ground facilities as well as facility expansions or new facilities which are programmed but not yet existing. For purposes of assessing facility capacity, the capacity of existing,in-the-g= ouncefacilities will be considered in all cases. Programmed facilities will be considered in assessing capacity for each public facility category when the following conditions are met: °For sanitary sewer, potable water, solid waste and drainage facilities: - facility expansion is a condition of a development order*; or - facility is currently under construction; or {a llty- is- guar-ateed by an ^for--ceable develop- ment aqreement. 49 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:30 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 236 CIE ELEMENT 'For recreation facilities: ° - facility expansion is the subject of a binding executed contract providing for commencement of construction or property acquisition within one year of development order issuance; or - facility expansion or property acquisition is guaranteed in an enforceab-l- development agreement providing for facility expansion/property acquisition within one year of development order issuance. - raciiity expansion meets any or the cr referenced above; or facility expansion must be included in the county's Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements; and ° the facility must be included within the urban service area; ° the facility must have an estimated date for construction to begin and be completed; ° the- facility -must—he scheduled to start construction by the third year of the 5 -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements; and ° a delay in construction of the facility will require a comprehensive plan -amendment. ° the capital improvements element and the Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements must be financially feasible; ° the Five -Year Schedule of Capital Improvements must maintain adopted level of service standards, must serve new velopment and eliminate existing deficiencies- as prioritized; ° a realistic, financially feasible funding system based on currently available revenue sources must be used; ° development regulations that ensure the issuance of development orders and permits only when facilities and services will be available to accommodate development must be adopted; ° a monitoring system capable of determining —whether --the adopted -level-of service -standards are met and the schedule of capital improvements is followed must be adopted; and ° areas where public facilities and services \�W111 De p. designated * only applicable for consideration for the project to which the development order does or will apply, 50 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:31 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 237 CIE ELEMENT Regulation No development order shall be issued for any project where the project's demand in conjunction with existing demand and committed demand will exceed the capacity of a facility at the service level established in this plan. Level of service analysis will be undertaken by the planning staff during the review of each project for which development order approval is required. Monitoring System To effectively implement the concurrency requirement, it is necessary to maintain an estimate of available capacity for each public facility subject to level -of -service requirements. By maintaining an accurate and current available capacity estimate for each facility, projected demand from development applications can be compared to the available capacity for the facility to determine if the project can be approved. The purpose of the monitoring program is to maintain a current estimate of available capacity for each facility. The monitoring system portion of the concurrency management plan will be maintained by the planning department. Using personal computers and data base management software, records will be developed and maintained for each specific facility. The staff will identify the total capacity of each applicable facility based upon information in the specific element of the comprehensive plan. These data will then be entered into separate records in the total capacity field for data base files estab- lished for each public facility category. Capacity figures will be modified as facilities are expanded or as criteria specified in the availability of capacity section are met, thereby allowing a programmed expansion to be considered for capacity determination purposes. Through contact and interaction with line departments, the planning staff will ensure that capacity estimates are modi- fied as soon as facility characteristics are changed. 50.1 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:31 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 238 C CIE ELEMENT Table 13.20, Monitoring System Design, depicts the general struc- ture of the monitoring system data base file for each public facility category. This table shows that available capacity for each specific facility is a function of total capacity less existing demand and less committed demand. The demand section of this concurrency management plan identifies the methodology for assessing demand. To implement the monitoring system, the following actions will be necessary: Action .Identify all uncompleted pro- jects with valid development orders ,Estimate committed demand by specific facility for each project referenced above .Do quarterly traffic counts for thoroughfare plan roads to determine existing demand .Identify existing flows for each water & sewer treatment plant .Estimate landfill (active cell) volume used .Estimate population and apply park standard to determine park existing demand Responsibility Planning Dept.

Ongoing Applicability The concurrency management plan monitoring system has applic- ability to more than just level -of -service measurement. It also provides the basis for assessing facility expansion needs and therefore capital improvements programming. By maintaining an accurate and up-to-date estimate of available capacity, the need for facility expansion can be recognized before all capacity is used and development must be restricted. By incorporating the monitoring system into the capital improvements programming process, capital budgets can be prepared based on reliable information.and valid estimates of need. 52 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:32 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 240 CIE ELEMENT TABLE 13.19 SERVICE LEVEL MEASURES Public Facility Specific Capacity Demand Geographic Category Facility Measure Measure Scope Traffic Roadway Volume of cars Peak Hour Affected accamodated Trips/Day roadways over time Sanitary Sewer Treatment Treatment design Generation Service Plant Capacity (GPD) Rate (GPD) Area Potable Water Treatment Treatment design Generation Service Plant Capacity (GPD) Rate (GPD) Area Solid Waste Landfill Volume in active Generation Entire cell (cubic yards) Rate(cubic County yards per person per year) Recreation Parks Acres of park land Acres of District ,parks per thousand population Drainage Drainage Volume of water Volume of Basin conveyances stormwater outfalling for design storm SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:32 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 241 53 CIE ELEMENT ItMy194 11"s Wit Rbl1c F�dLty `Ictal a sting Ondtbed AVaiLiblP cab3gay Facilities 4wity Daralrl Dail City naffic 4 'ly Oarlty volare Total c pdty- Peak hear/ ( cage) estimted (adsting dmra- pEak SMSOn- amtierly C= t fmn at}avW (oomutbed dena4 ICS Ox D (mak Saaqcn) DD's Sanitary %jer amtreYt plants Design flus 5dsting Plants %lure esti- metal cqmdty- nEexd fmn (edsting daTEnJ) - DD's (oauCatb-:d daituu I�+�le Tt natt plots 1 ign flus E�nstsrrg flLvs \bhm testi Zbtal C�tY- mted fmn (wstlr>g dsca�- ap n7ad DO's (armdtted did) Solid W3ste Actiw cell ktive cell Volare esti Total apedty- design city wlure til imted fmn (edstirrg del)- agrojed M's (armlitfidi c'fa7di z�+ P P8rk A=exe Aaps_p this- Acres per Zbtal ty- and pqulatim x tumid (adsting dffe4- E�ds! pqai-- pTilatim x (=imtted &a -d) pal for TXa>ad W's L�dinsge Dr-air�ge �b]ure Ikisti ng flags Volure of Total c,Epaity- crTTRy3ms sb3MOtpr (e dstirg dnET4- alla-Ed to (amiitbad dmiard) mall fix a1'L-oad DO's 54 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:33 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 242 CIE ELEMENT GOAL, OBJECTIVES S POLICIES GOAL Indian River County will have a Capital Improvements Program which manages the provision of services and facilities as identified in each element of the Comprehensive Plan in a fiscally prudent manner, and ensures that the levels of service set in each element are maintained, facilities and infrastructure improvements are provided concurrent with development, existing infrastructure is maintained, and balanced growth is attained.

It involves taking actions and achieving results. For the Capital Improvements Element, implementation involves various activities. While some of these actions will be ongoing, others are activities that will be taken by certain points in time. For each policy in this element, Table 13.21 identifies the type of action required, the responsible entity for taking the action, the timing, and whether or not the policy necessitates a capital expenditure. To implement the Capital Improvements Element, several different types of actions must be taken. These include: development of mechanisms for funding new facilities, adoption of land development regulations and ordinances, execution of interlocal agreements, coordination, and preparation of studies and evaluation and monitoring reports, Overall Capital Improvements Element implementation responsibility will rest with the Office of Management and Budget. Besides its responsibilities as identified in Table 13.21, the planning department has the additional responsibility of ensuring that other entities discharge their responsibilities. This will entail notifying other applicable departments of capital expenditures to be included in their budgets, notifying other departments and groups of actions that must be taken, and assisting other departments and agencies in their plan implementation responsibilities. As part of the Capital Improvements Element, the county has developed a Concurrency Management Plan which ensures the main- tenance of the adopted level -of -service standards. Through the Concurrency Management Plan, the County will measure facility capacity, assess development demand, and maintain a Capital Improvements Program which ensures that the level -of -service standards are maintained. EVALUATION & MONITORING PROCEDURES To be effective, a plan must not only provide a means for implementation; it must also provide a mechanism for assessing the plan's effectiveness. Generally, a plan's effectiveness can be judged by the degree to which the plan's objectives have been met. Since objectives are structured, as much as possible, to be measurable and to have specific timeframes, the plan's objectives are the benchmarks used as a basis to evaluate the plan. Table 13.22 identifies each of the objectives of the Capital Improvements Element. It also identifies the measures to be used to evaluate progress in achieving these objectives. Most of these measures .are quantitative, such as adopting land development 62 SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:37 - OfficialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 253 CIE ELEMENT requirements which ensure the maintenance of the level -of -service standards, adopting a capacity monitoring system and others. Besides the measures, Table 13.22 also identifies timeframes associated with meeting the objectives. The Planning Department staff will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating the Capital Improvement Element. This will involve collection of data and compilation of information regarding facility capacity, expansion, and new development permitted. This will be done on a regular basis. As part of the county's Concurrency Management System, the Planning Department will continually monitor the facility capacity to ensure that level -of -service standards will be maintained. While monitoring will occur on -a continual basis, formal evaluation of the Capital Improvements Element will occur annually. The formal evaluation and appraisal of the entire Comprehensive Plan will occur every five years. Besides assessing progress, the evaluation and appraisal process will also be used to determine whethertTie Capital—Improvements Element—objectives should be modified or expanded. In this way, the monitoring and evaluation o -f the_ Capital.�ovem_ents Element will not only provide a means of determining the degree of success of the plan's implementation; it will also provide a mechanism for evaluating needed changes to--the-plan, element. 0 Procedures for Monitoring & Evaluation of the Entire Indian River County Plan As discussed in the above paragraphs, the evaluation and monitoring procedures identified for the capital improvements element are basically the same for the entire comprehensive plan. These procedures will be used by the county to prepare the formal Five -Year Evaluation and Appraisal Reports. Included in those procedures are all the format requirements listed in 9J -5.005- (1)(a) -(f), F.A.C. The monitoring and evaluation of this plan is critical to ensure that the policies are effective in achieving the plan's goals and objectives. Each individual element of the plan contains provisions and measures to be used in the review of the element. Each element contains an Implementation and Evaluation Matrix and Monitoring Procedures which will be used to prepare the Five -Year Evaluation and Appraisal Reports. In addition, a great portion of the plan monitoring will be in conjunction with the concurrency management system which is designed to ensure that approved levels of service are maintained and that sufficient capacity exists in the various services and facilities. Other evaluation of the plan or plan elements is likely to occur in the day to day application of the mandated regulations, which will result in plan amendments. i SmeadSoft Reprint Date: Monday, August 12, 2013 - 15:23:37 - OffcialDocuments:672, Attachment Id 0, Page 254 CIE ELEMENT The formal Evaluation and Appraisal report required by law will provide a complete review of the plan and be conducted in compliance with the public participation procedures adopted for the development of this plan. As part of the monitoring system, all appropriate baseline data will be updated. Besides assessing progress, the evaluation and appraisal process will also be used to determine whether the objectives should be. modified or expanded. In this way the monitoring and evaluation of the elements of the plan will not only provide a means of determining the degree of success of the plan's implementation; it will also provide a mechanism for evlauating needed changes to the plan element.
