Commissioner Lyons asked Dr. Tucker to please maintain communication with --the Board on the status of -the Health Dept. and frequently report back on the status of the Department as the Board cannot help if they do not know what is needed. REQUEST TO SET WORKSHOP DATE RE HURRICANE EVACUATION Commissioner Lyons explained he has not received the complete slosh program report from the Regional Planning Council and suggested that the Board postpone setting a workshop date to review the possible effects of a 17 -ft. wave surge during a major hurricane. The Board agreed. REPORT ON EMS COMMITTEE Commissioner Lyons apprised the Commission of the plans for improving ambulance service for the next year. (Also, the South County Fire District, since the Commissioners comprise that Board.) He`pointed .out that excellent communication exists between the South County Fire District and the Volunteer Ambulance Squad. In every emergency when transportation of the victim is required, the ambulance squad provides it. However, in general, when a life-threatening situation exists and a fire rescue unit is located closer to the scene than a volunteer ambulance, a fire rescue unit is also dispatched. This has been working very well and unnecessary fire rescue calls have.been cut to a minimum. n 4 _ M M ® � s Commissioner Lyons explained that both the fire department and the ambulance squads have paramedics. We plan to find a way to use their expertise. Through Dr. Frazier, we may be able to establish liaison with the hospitals to expand our service.in that way. In the long run we may want a responding unit other than a fire truck, but he did not think so. He believed the next step will be more along the lines of improved communications so as to take advantage of the available paramedic skill. He did not contemplate incurring tremendous new expense to take this next step. That is his aim and that is the way he plans to operate. He asked that if anybody has any different feeling, let him know now. . Commissioner Wodtke agreed the expertise is there in paramedic- training and if there is some way we can utilize that without getting back into a fire vs. volunteer or paramedic situation, he would have no objections. Commissioner Lyons felt that the general feeling is pretty much along those lines and that people realize the significant costs that would be incurred if the ambulance squad was.not used. He felt our position is pretty well understood as far as the budget is concerned, and unless anybody objects strenuously, that is the direction that he would take. y (Sla) 5 goo;5) F -L-59, ,,,, I -DEC 7 1993 8x 3 The Chairman asked if there were any additions or corrections to the Minutes of the Special Meeting of 11/9/83.

Interfund Loan Authorization - Jail Complex Project The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/30/83: TO: Board of County Commissioners. - DATE: November 30, 1983 FILE: SUBJECT: Indian River County Criminal Justice Complex FROM: Jeffrey K. Barton, Director REFERENCES: Office of Management and Budget Due to continuing expenses io relation to the New Criminal Justice Complex, please authorize funding by way of a loan from the Secondary Road Trust Fund to the County Jail Fund. OMB Director Barton explained that this is the trust fund that has 800 of the 5th & 6th cent gas tax and that there is more than enough money to fund the current 16th Street project. However, there has never been a formal motion authorizing an account from which to borrow interim funds for the jail complex project. He advised that the architect fees, land purchase and related costs are nearing $250,000. Commissioner Scurlock was concerned about borrowing from other entities before the bond issue goes to the people in a referendum. Commissioner Lyons suggested a limitation of $250,000 be placed on the amount of the loan, and if we get a "no" on the referendum, then we will have to find another way to finance the jail. Another concern of Commissioner Scurlock's was the amount of interest that would be paid on the loan, and Administrator Wright advised that the interest will be calculated, equivalent to the going rate, and paid back from the bond proceeds when they are received. 29 DEC 7 1983 BOi 55 PACE 52-"6 DEC "71993 55 FACE 527 ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously authorized a loan, not to exceed $250,000, from the Secondary Road Trust Fund to the County Jail Fund; and specified that the interest earned on the loan monies also be paid back.

Final Plat Approval, Waverly Place Subdivision, Phase I The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/22/83: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: November 22, 1983 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: SUBJECT: Robert Keat ICP �r Planning & Development Director FINAL PLAT APPROVAL OF WAVERLY PLACE SUBDI- VISION, PHASE I FROM: Clare Staff Z. Po pard 01P Way. Place S/D REFERENCES: DIS : CLARE It is requested that the following information be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting on December 7, 1983. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Waverly Place, formerly known as Tropic Villas South, is a land condominium. Therefore, according to the County's new Subdivi- sion Ordinance 83-241 in addition to receiving site plan approval, a plat must be filed. The applicant received prelim- inary plat approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 13, 1983. The applicant is now requesting final plat approval for the project's first phase. A letter of credit has been issued by a bank to cover the cost of construction for this phase of the subdivision's improvements. The project is comprised of seven phases on approximately 27 acres. Within the boundaries of these phases there are 316 units on 316 lots. Phase I'consists of 40 units with 40 lots. The site is zoned R-2, Multi -family Residential (15 dwelling units/acre) and has an MD -2, Medium Density Residential (10 dwelling units/acre) land use designation. The project's actual density is 11.78 dwelling units/acre. This is higher than the density allowed by the Comprehensive Plan because the original site plan was approved prior to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. 30 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: a The construction drawings for all paving and drainage improve- ments have been reviewed and approved by the County Engineer. The construction drawings for all on-site utilities have been reviewed and approved by the Utilities Division's Environmental Engineer. The applicant has submitted an irrevocable letter of credit from a banking institution which guarantees that the -cost of the construction of on-site improvements will be met. The applicant has also prepared a contract which, when signed, will bind the development company to complete all improvements as shown on the approved construction drawings. All other requirements for final plat approval, as outlined in Subdivision Ordinance 83-24, have been met. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final plat approval to Phase I of the Waverly Place land condominium subject to the condition that the applicant sign a contract with the County binding him to complete all on-site improvements in conformance with County regulations. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously granted final plat approval for Waverly Place Subdivision, Phase I. J. Approval of Preliminary Plat Extension - Fox Haven Subdivision The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/7/83: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: November 17, 1983 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD -CONCURRENCE: PLAT APPROVAL EXTENSION RUBDIVISION QUEST FOR FOX HAVEN SUBJECT: Robert M. Keal: g, CP Planning & DevelopnTent Director FROM: Clare Z. Poupard C�� REFERENCES: Fox Haven S/D Staff Planner DIS:PNOT It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting on December 7, 1983. 31 DEC 7 199 J DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS 6 PACE59-9 Fox Haven subdivision (formerly known as Cassara Heights subdivision) is located on the north side of 4th Street, approximately 1/4 mile east of 27th Avenue. The development has 29 lots on a 20 acre parcel of land. The minimum lot size is 1/2 acre. The zoning classification of the site is R-1 (6.2 dwelling units/acre allowable building density). The subject property's land use plan designation is LD -2 (6 dwelling units/acre allowable building density). The proposed building density is 1.45 dwelling units/acre. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Fox Haven Subdivision received preliminary plat approval on January 28, 1981. This approval would have expired on July 28, 1982; however a 12 month extension of plat approval was.granted by the Board of County Commissioners.. This approval was scheduled to expire on July 28, 1983. At that time, the applicant had not yet begun construction on the site, and, therefore, the Board granted a second extension of plat ap- proval. This extension was granted for a period of 6 months and so, will expire on January 28, 1984. The applicant's agent has requested a third extension of plat approval for a period of 60 days. The applicant has contracted with a construction company to have the required on-site improvements completed on February 13, 1984. At present, grading of the road beds and construction of the subdivision's interior roads are taking place. Although there is a possibility that the project may be com- pleted prior to the plat approval expiration date, the appli- cant is requesting an extension. The reason for this request is to allow for the possibility of inclement weather slowing the progress of on-site construction.' If the extension request is denied, the applicant has expressed the intention of posting a bond in order to record the fina•1 plat. According to the County's Subdivision Ordinance 75-3Jprelimi- nary plat approval "shall have full force and effect for a period of 18 months from the date of approval. An extension may be granted by the Board. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that a approval be granted to the Board has granted plat approval to those extension would provide However, the applicant And the applicant does pletion of construction two month extension of preliminary plat Fox Haven Subdivision. Historically, one 18 month extension of preliminary applicants who have requested it. This the applicant with 2 additional months. is progressing with the development. have a contract guaranteeing the com- within this 2 month period. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyohs, the Board unanimously granted a two-month extension of preliminary plat approval for Fox Haven Subdivision. 32 K.

Keatinig, 167CP Planning & Development Director iZI5 FROM' Richard Shearer, AICP Req/Ind. Lakes • Principal Planner REFERENCES: DIS:WORKA It is requested that the data herein presented be'given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of December 7, 1983. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The County has initiated a request to rezone 17.5 acres located 600 feet east of U.S. Highway #1 and approximately 600 feet north of Hobart Road from R-3, Multiple Dwelling District, to R -2D, Multiple -Family District. The owner of this property proposes to develop it as condomini- ums and concurs with this rezoning request. On October 27, 1983, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval of this rezoning request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, - an analysis will be presented as well as use as established in the Land Plan. Existing Land Use Pattern of the -existing land use pattern a discussion of the future land Use Element of the Comprehensive The subject. property is currently vacant, although some site improvements have been made in conformance with an existing approved site plan. If the property is rezoned, a new major site plan will have to be submitted and approved before construction may continue. North of the subject property is Hobart Landing #1, a single-family subdivision, and east of the subject property, across Indian River Boulevard, is Hobart Landing #2, also a single-family subdivision. South of -the subject property is vacant land. The area west of the subject property is zoned C-lA, Restricted Commercial District, and is vacant except for a real estate office. WT Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). All of the land around the subject property is also designated LD -2 except for the area to the west. Some of the land west of the subject property can be included in the Hobart Road/U.S. Highway 1 commercial/ industrial node. The land on the west side of U.S. Highway 1 is in the U.S. Highway 1 MXD, Mixed -Use District, Corridor (up to 6 units/acre). The R-3, Multiple Dwelling District, zoning of the subject property (allowing up to 15 uni`.s/acre) does not conform to the LD -2 land use designation of this area. The R-3 densities were grandfathered in because the site plan was approved before the Comprehensive Plan was adopted. However, the proposed R -2D zoning does conform to the LD -2 land use designation and will provide a .good transition between the commercially -zoned land west of the subject property along U.S. Highway 1 and the single-family subdivision east of the subject property. Roads/Traffic The proposed down -zoning of the subject property would result in considerably less traffic generated on this site. The R-3 zoning could generate up to 1864 average daily trips (ADT). The R -2D zoning would allow a maximum of 746 ADT. , Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive. However, the majority of the subject property is in a floodplain zone A9 (elevation 6). The zone A9 designation is for areas subject to 100 -year floods. The remainder of the subject property is in a zone B floodplain area which includes land within the limits of 100 year flood and 500 year flood. ri+-; 1 ; t-; Ac The subject property is not currently served by County water nor wastewater facilities. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval. Richard Shearer, Principal Planner, presented staff's recommendation that the County initiate rezoning o.f Indian Lakes Condos from R-3, Multiple Dwelling District, allowing up to 15 units per acre, to R -2D, Multiple Family District, which allows a maximum of 6 units per acre. This rezoning would bring the zoning into conformance with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation for this property, which is LD -2 maximum of 6 units per acre. Staff feels that 39 DEC 7 1983 Bye 55 n �-1� .. DEC `i 1983 890 55 PACE - 50,k3. the R -2D would be a nice buffer between single family homes and commercially zoned property. Mr. Shearer showed a slide of the site and pointed out that the Planning & Zoning Commissioner voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning. Chairman Bird opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Michael O'Haire, attorney representing Hobart Landing Property Owners Association, explained that Hobart Landing is a single family subdivision located easterly of the property in question. His clients feel.strongly that the buffer provided by the rezoning is not necessary, as there is no existing commercial use anywhere near their subdivision. Although, there is a commercial node designated on the Master Plan, there is no reason that node cannot be relocated. Mr. O'Haire continued to emphasize that the only land use up there that is deserving of any protection is the single family subdivision that has been there for many years and there is no need at this point for a buffer of multiple family zoning. He stated that Hobart Landing property owners have watched this property be despoiled and scarified by Arthur Wilson, who tore out a productive citrus grove, and since Mr. Wilson has been trying to sell this land as multiple family for years and cannot, it is obvious there is no demand for multiple family use in this area. Mr. O'Haire pointed out that Mr. Wilson has had a site plan since 1980 and has dragged it out, not building anything on the land because he cannot sell it. The site plan approval process has been abused time and time again, and opening this up all the way from U.S. #1 will simply depreciate the values of the existing land use; therefore, Attorney O'Haire urged the Board to preserve the integrity of the only existing use entitled to protection and go with single family rezoning. 40 Eugene O'Neill, attorney representing Arthur Wilson, owner of Indian Lakes -Condos, reviewed the history of the situation as discussed at previous meetings. He believed that the Board is very familiar with the entire situation and that it is time for them to make a decision. He emphasized that this is a County -initiated rezoning, and informed the Board that Mr. Wilson was here today to answer any questions in regard to this property. Ralph Holzman, 3556 Martha's Lane, Hobart Landing, did not feel the rezoned property would be much of a buffer when ingress and egress for the development feeds right into Indian River Boulevard and Martha's Lane. Nor is it much of a buffer to have a 3 -story condominium built right next to the single family area. He hoped that when the new site plan is developed, the neighbors will have something better to look at and that ingress and egress is fed into U.S. #1. Arthur Wilson, owner of the subject property, agreed that the excess traffic could cause some problems, but pointed out that they have tried to cooperate and have written the County Attorney that during development of the site plan, they would undertake to move the entrance to the development so that traffic would not have to go through the Hobart Landing community. use Indian River Boulevard. In other words, they would not Mr. Wilson took exception to the statement that he had scarred the property by removing a productive citrus grove. He explained that the front part of the grove had -been flooded and if it had been_a good, productive grove, he would have left it intact. He noted that they had anticipated a grass strip extending from Hobart Road almost down to Hobart Landing, but it had stormed the night after seeding and the strip was washed out. He is still very much interested in cooperating and has been trying to line up a source for a proper fence. He has found two types of 41 Mf 541 DEC 7 1983 .DEC 7 1993 55 PAGE 541 fencing - basketweave or picket cypress. His attorney has written Hobart Landing Property Owners Association of his intentions to put up an attractive 6 -foot high fence. They have received no response from the Association, but he is still prepared to build the -fence. Bernard Paz, resident.of Hobart Landing, whose property abuts the proposed development, asked Mr. Wilson what he intends to do along 79th Street, (Fleet Road), and Mr. Wilson stated he has no intentions of putting a fence along the main entrance to Hobart Landing. Mr. Paz, a real estate broker, stated he has shown a number of homes in Hobart area and none of them have sold. When prospective buyers find out what may happen there, they lose interest. He believed that Hobart Landing is also having trouble selling property, and he cannot see doing anything but rezoning this to RD -1. This statement resulted in much handclapping from the audience. Henry Muller, a developer in the area and on the barrier island, stated that he is not representing Mr. Wilson. He mentioned that previously he had some interest in the property until he found out the problems he would encounter. Mr. Muller felt there was nothing wrong with multiple family being used as a buffer as it has been used in many other places in the County and believed the site plan can be done in a manner that would be acceptable. He frankly stated that he personally would tear down the walls as they are an eyesore; he did not feel a fence would cover it up, and believed it would be much more appropriate to have hedging that would provide a green buffer. Mr. Muller noted the people have a real concern because they don't know what is going to happen there, and felt if they had a site plan placed before them, they would have chance to see what it would really be like. He stated that he would be delighted to develop the property, provided he could make a 42 deal with Mr. Wilson, as he believed there is a need for properly conceived multiple family housing up there and thought that staff would see this is done in an orderly way. Mr. Muller was concerned about complying with flood ordinance requirements along the river and hoped that any developer going through this process of dropping density would not lose any rights. Attorney Brandenburg stated that Mr. Wilson would have to comply with all the storm ordinance requirements unless he fell within one of the exceptions or waiver positions, and that would have to be looked at by the Board at the time of site plan. It does not appear that he would fall into any known exception at'this point. Chairman Bird invited Mr. Muller to express his concerns and feelings in this matter to Attorney Brandenburg George Kraft, 3536 Martha's Lane, noted that LD zoning in the old Master Plan ended at Hobart Road. For some unknown reason Planning & Zoning dropped the ball right there, and on the other side of Hobart Road they left LD -2. This was at the same time that Planning & Zoning asked the Hobart brothers to consider R-1 zoning, which is now on the north and east sides of Mr. Wilson's property. The residents of Hobart Landing feel that the density was never actually 15 units per acre and that Dave Rever, former Planning Manager, allowed these unusual densities to occur. Now they are back to 6. He felt that we should have comparable and compatible density and that it should all be R-1 zoning. Mr. Kraft did not feel that Mr. Wilson had been cooperative or conciliatory until just recently. He brought up the fact that Mr. Wilson destroyed their existing privacy buffer by removing a 40' wide stretch of 80 year old trees, which he claimed were dangerous although they had withstood many storms. Mr. Wilson promised to give the residents of 43 DEC 7 1983 BOOK 55 PACE -a 4 0 ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously closed the Public Hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, that the Board accept recommendation of staff and adopt Ordinance 83444, rezoning Indian Lakes Condos from R-3, Multiple Dwelling District, to R -2D, Multiple Family District. Under discussion, Commissioner Scurlock felt confident that Planning would be very involved during the site plan process, and hoped that Mr. Wilson would improve his image as a developer. Commissioner Wodtke hoped that we can get away from accusations or implications that have been made that staff has not been doing their job. Chairman Bird pointed out that the Commission has an obligation to be consistent, and felt that multiple family is a reasonable transition zoning between commercial and 44 DEC 7 1993 Hobart Landing "unparalleled beauty" after removing these trees, but he has not yet fulfilled this promise. Attorney O'Neill felt the question before the Board today is not walls, but what is the best land use. He Pointed out that a reasonable compromise was reached at the last meeting and Mr. O'Haire did not object at that time; now, however, his clients are asking the Board to vote against a density of 6 units per acre.. Mr. O'Neill reminded the Commission that they rely on staff's recommendations as to what is a reasonable solution to the problem and just hoped the Board continues to act in the reasonable manner it has in the past. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously closed the Public Hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, that the Board accept recommendation of staff and adopt Ordinance 83444, rezoning Indian Lakes Condos from R-3, Multiple Dwelling District, to R -2D, Multiple Family District. Under discussion, Commissioner Scurlock felt confident that Planning would be very involved during the site plan process, and hoped that Mr. Wilson would improve his image as a developer. Commissioner Wodtke hoped that we can get away from accusations or implications that have been made that staff has not been doing their job. Chairman Bird pointed out that the Commission has an obligation to be consistent, and felt that multiple family is a reasonable transition zoning between commercial and 44 single family; otherwise, there would be nothing but single family zoning. Commissioner Bowman agreed, but felt that Hobart Landing has lost confidence in the developer of Indian Lakes Condos. She understood the residents' concerns and urged Mr. Wilson to hire a good developer for the condos and not to develop it himself. Commissioner Lyons felt that the best protection we can offer the residents in Hobart Landing is to go to the proposed rezoning because at least there is going to be a site plan review and we will have some control over the development. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION to adopt Ordinance 83-44, rezoning Indian Lakes Condos from R-3 to R -2D. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. 45 DEC 7 1983 s 55 544 DEC 7 123 diiK 5-5 ORDINANCE NO. 83-44 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.

Davis P.E. , REFERENCES: meeting minutes - July 14, 1982 Public Works Director 2) Ordinance Establishing Vero LakE Estates MSTU DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION During the July 14, 198A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, staff was instructed to pursue the establishment of a Vero Lakes Estates MSTU, and to study the following concerns: 1) Research the existance of an established, non-active Drainage District for the area. 2) Assure that an equitable solution be presented such that a dual taxation or payment is not created. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Staff has researched the jurisdiction of the Vero Lakes Water Control District and the Delta Farms Water Control District and it has been determined that the Vero Lakes Estates Subdivision is not included within the boundaries .. of those Districts. Also, the following data concerning the Vero Lakes Estates Area is presented: 1982-83 Tax Figures Assessed Value $18,186,803. Taxable 16,489,522. Parcel Count 3632 Revenue received from taxes that funds the MSTU is 21%. During FY 82/83, the Road and Bridge -Department performed the following work: Labor $33,653.92 Equipment $1629174.00 Total T195,827.92 The above figures translate into the following: Maint. Cost per parcel = $53.92 One mil in 82/83 generated $16,489 from the Vero Lakes Estates area No. mils required to generate $195,827.92 = 11.88 The 1982/83 NISTU Approved Millage was 1.08 49 DEC 7 1933 Be -a 55 ?AcE-51 - I DEC 1 1 jj 0009 55 PAC 5�9 Since the July, 1982 Board of County Commission meeting, the following has taken place: 1) The Vero Lakes Estates Homeowners Assoc. was established and became a Non Profit Corporation in the State of Florida. 2) On November 9, 1982, the Association established a 6 person committee to work with the County Public IVorks Division on road and drainage matters. 3) The Public lVorks Staff and Assistant County Attorney attended meetings on August 23, 1982 and November 1982 to discuss road and drainage matters. Based upon the apparent need in the area, staff proceeded to draft an ordinance for the establishment of an MSTU for the area. The funds generated from the NLSTU are intended to be used in the following manner 1) A seven (7) person Board be established by the -Board of County Commissioners for the purpose of recommending yearly to the Board of County Commissioners an operating budget and yearly program. 2) It is anticipated that the first action by the Advisory Board would be to select an Engineering firm to perform a Road and Drainage Study for the area. 3) Once the study phase is complete, a program would be developed to implement the study. 4) The Consultant would be -instructed to consider the equitable share of cost sharing so that dual taxation is not applicable and expenditure Of County funds is equitable. The Advisory Board would recommend the actual operating budget. RECOAMEMATION-AND FUNDING It is recommended that the implementing ordinance be approved for the establishment of an MSTU for the Vero Lakes Estates area. Public Works Director Jim Davis presented staff's recommendation for the establishment of an Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) for the Vero Lakes Estates area. He explained that the County has performed extensive maintenance.in the area and it is a difficult area to maintain. He continued that they met with the homeowners' association of the area in 1982 and again last Thursday night, and there was not much support for establishing a MSTU. However, Director Davis pointed out that if something is not done at an early stage, it is going -to reduce retention facilities for drainage in the future. He, therefore, recommended a study be undertaken as soon as possible as there is a potential of 8,000 to 10,000 homes in 50 this area. Mr. Davis believed the cost of the study could be as low as $5.00 a parcel, and noted they have prepared the implementing ordinance for the MSTU. Chairman Bird understood the purpose of the MSTU would be to generate additional revenue primarily for drainage and, secondly, for road maintenance, which can come later, and paving could be provided under the County's petition. paving program. Commissioner Scurlock agreed that it is necessary to address this situation now even though there is a lot of opposition. This is one of those uncomfortable situations where the Board must do what it has to do. Commissioner Lyons questioned Attorney Brandenburg about the County's legal obligation re subdivisions that were built without satisfactory drainage, and Attorney Brandenburg advised that the County does not have a responsibility outside of responding to their needs, like any other citizen in general. He noted that a large portion of these lots are still owned by the original developer. The Attorney explained that if the Board does adopt the Ordinance today, it does not mean that the County must levy any taxes. The law states that a MSTU must be on the books by January lst, and the decision to levy taxes, if it becomes necessary, can be made after that time. Some discussion ensued regarding the possibility of replatting or of imposing a moratorium on building in the area, and Attorney Brandenburg believed the County could legally impose a moratorium on all those lots out there until the drainage is squared away. Commissioner Bowman reported that she had received a petition containing signatures of 80 people who are opposed to the establishments of a MSTU. SAID PETITION IS ONE FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK 51 DEC 7 1983 DEC 7 1933 SASE Director Davis explained to the Commission the complicated situations involved with drainage in this area. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard. Carl Johnson, Director of Vero Lakes Estates Property Owners Association Inc., expressed the Association's strong objections to a survey for which they would have to pay. Mr. Johnson believed if the swales and easements in back of their property were cleared by the County, the water disposal problem would be much improved. He further stated that the residents of this area do not envision a great amount of building within a short amount of time, and feel if a survey was made sometime within the next five years, they will not have lost anything. Mr. Johnson felt that the road maintenance program is much improved since the homeowners formed their association. Administrator WRight noted that the County has put in an extraordinary effort to maintain this area, and he did not believe it could be continued at that level. - Commissioner Scurlock explained that what the Commission is trying to do is find a source of revenue for planning for the future so that adequate drainage can be provided in the next five years. Commissioner Lyons asked if those present had any opportunity to.look at the proposed ordinance and study it in detail, and -Mr. Johnson commented that they -had understood that they were talking about $50.00 a year per parcel. $5.00 a year is something very different. Commissioner Scurlock suggested that we go ahead today and adopt the ordinance, conduct workshops, and then if people do not want the improvements and are happy with the service as it stands, we just won't levy any taxes. Attorney Chester Clem, representing four corporations owning between 4,000 and 5,000 lots in Vero Lakes Estates, 52 objected to any abandonment of plats. He felt this would be impossible because of the sales that were made back in the early 1960s. Mr. Clem stated that although his clients realize they have problems and something needs to be done, they feel adopting the proposed ordinance in order to.fund a study would result in duplicate taxation. He suggested that the County proceed with looking at the overall situation, and although his clients object to forming a MSTU at this time, they are willing to sit down and -work with the County towards some solution. Chairman Bird asked Attorney Clem is his clients would be willing to give some financial assistance for a study and Directory Davis interjected that the study is not something that can be done quickly; it would probably take one or two years, and he was not quite sure what it would cost. Mr. Clem felt that his clients could be of some financial assistance, but since people are paying County taxes, the County should fund some part of this study. He did not see this as an emergency situation. Joe McBride,. a resident of Vero Lakes Estates for the last 2k years, felt a lot of the maintenance work that has been done by the County, is not satisfactory and they have had to come back and redo it. Mr. McBride noted that there are many houses out there that are owned as homestead exemptions and these owners are the ones raising the most objection. He felt that the County Attorney should prepare a resolution to present to the State Legislature asking that they pass a statute requiring every taxpayer to pay taxes on the first $25,000 of assessed value, which would be fair to everyone. Chairman Bird agreed that the Legislature should address the homestead exemption requirements, but, unfortunately, it is a very unpopular issue. 53 DEC 7 1983 DEC 7 1983 009 55 FACE 553 Mr. McBride stated that he would be glad to pay $5.00 for the study, but no more, as he already pays County taxes. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously closed the Public Hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously tabled this matter until such time as there have been meaningful discussions with Attorney Clem and his clients; such time not to exceed 90 days. Commissioner Wodtke felt that we should also address the 10,000 acres to the west and to the south and need to contact those property owners. Commissioner Lyons agreed that whatever solution is found, it should involve all the property owners affected by the drainage in that area. DISCUSSION RE ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL BEACHFRONT PROPERTY The Board reviewed the following memo dated 12/2/83: TO. Members of the DATE: December 2, 1983 FILE: Board of County Commissioners SUBJECT: Acquisition of Additional Property with the Remainder of the $5,000,000 Beach Bond Proceeds FROM: Gary M. Brandenburg REFERENCES: County Attorney AVAILABLE FUNDS —APPROXIMATELY $300,000 '. OPTIONS: 1. Purchase 10.3967 acres of land immediately west and across-AlA from the oceanfront ERDO and Bell Road properties which con- sisted of 1,484.21 feet of oceanfrontage. The -County's option__ 54 ,price on this land was $311,850.00. This Seller has indicated his willingness to accept $300,000.00 for the property amount- ing to $28,855.31 per acre for the land lying west of AlA. This land was appraised at approximately $35,000.00 per acre. If the County purchased this property and combined it. with the County's other purchases and donations our holdings would be squared off -on this portion of the Barrier Island and the County would own all of Government Lot #6. 2. Purchase 10.6346 acres of land lying immediately west and across AlA from the Golden Sands parcel which constituted approximately 820 feet of oceanfrontage. The Golden Sands owners have indicated a willingness to beat the ERDO group's price by approximately $5,000.00. This could be -accomplished by the County purchasing the entire 10.6346 acres for $300,000.00 or by the Seller keeping a parcel amounting to 2379 acres and selling the rest to the County for $295,000.00. This land: together'with the 2.85 acres previously donated by Sellers to -the County would square off the land west of AlA and also extend northerly across from the 332.32 feet of ocean - frontage we still have an option on. 3. Purchase a portion of the remaining 332.32 feet of the Golden Sands oceanfront property at $1,750.00 a front foot. Seller would be willing to sell 220 feet of the oceanfrontage which - would amount to $385,000.00. This transactiozz could occur by, Seller receiving $299,500.00 from the County in cash and taking back the 2.85 acres previously donated by Seller to the County valued at $30,000.00 an acre. This would leave the Seller 112.32 feet of oceanfrontage covered by our option to purchase at $1,750.00 a front foot. Seller is also willing to sell a lesser amount of front footage at an amount prorated accord- ingly. 4. Purchase 157 feet of oceanfrontage from Julian Lowenstein. This property is generally located south of the ERDO tract,., Mr. Lowenstein has indicated a willingness to sell this'prop- erty to the County for $275,000.00 which amounts to $1,751.00 a front foot. RECOMMENDATION: I would recommend that the County purchase the land lying west of the ERDO and Bell Road tracts unless the County can negotiate a transaction with the Golden Sands property owner to acquire the entire 332.32 feet of oceanfrontage at the present time. Attorney Brandenburg explained the County's options in obtaining additional beach property with the remaining $300,000 of the $5 -million beach bond proceeds. Chairman Bird stated he is inclined to pick up as much oceanfront property as possible and hoped that we could get the land adjacent to Golden Sands. However, Mr. Deprez, who represents the owners of Golden Sands, informed us that his clients are not willing to sell the entire remaining 333.32 55 DEC 7 1983 x 55 PASE5a11 p 1933 5- PAcE555 feet for what the County can offer - the $300,000 remaining from the beach bond proceeds. Mr. Deprez asked what the chances were of getting another bond issue and the Commission felt it was nil because we had just asked the people if they wanted to acquire beach property and they voted a $5 -million bond. Commissioner Lyons felt that we should make sure that we have enough property on AIA to provide parking, etc. Chairman Bird felt that we have enough depth to provide parking on all of the proposed properties. Attorney Brandenburg reported that the Golden Sands property is deeper than the Erdo property. Commissioner Wodtke felt that the bond issue was sold to the public as a vehicle to purchase oceanfront property. If he had his druthers, he would hold the balance of the money. However, if it has to be spent, he would prefer the addition of oceanfront property. Commissioner Wodtke asked Attorney Brandenburg if it might be to our advantage if the County saved a little money to go with any State money that might be forthcoming, and Attorney Brandenburg stated that just is not known. It was generally agreed that the County should purchase as much of the remaining Golden Sands ocean frontage as can be bought with what was left from the beach bond proceeds, approximately $300,000 for 222 feet of ocean frontage. Discussion ensued regarding options on the east and west side of AlA, and Mr. Deprez asked if the County could s give an assurance that they would buy his clients property first if money is received from the Save.Our Coast program. Chairman Bird stated that we could not because we cannot control which parcel will be selected for purchase by the State. The County agreed on releasing said options immed- iately upon being notified that the Save Our Coasts funds were not available and there being no other funding sources. He asked if there was anyway the County could waive the taxes and e 56 r Chairman Bird stated there was no way the County could waive taxes. Mr. Deprez then said, okay we accept that. Commissioner Wodtke questioned the option on the west side of AIA and asked if it is really in the realm of probability that the County would purchase it. Chairman Bird felt that the Legislature would prefer oceanfront property; however, he still preferred to have the option on the west side. Community Development Director Tommy Thomas felt that the County would be hearing something on the selection of Save Our Coasts property by January and could then make the decision on whether to release the option or not. Commissioner Lyons felt we did not have trouble communicating with Mr. Deprez and that it would work out. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED BY Commissioner Lyons, that the Board authorize a contract providing for the acauisition of approximately 222 feet of ocean frontage in Golden Sands for the amount remaining in the beach acquisition bond fund, and return the 2.85 acres previously donated by the corporation to the County, with the County and Golden Sands to evenly divide closing costs on this transaction; and the extension of the option on the remaining oceanfront parcel for another 12 months at the same price; and that the corporation give the County an additional 18 - month option on the west side parcel at the same price that is being credited to the County for the 2.85 acres being returned; both options to expire in June, 1985. 57 DEC 7 1993 9K 55 PACE 556 DEC 7 1993 K 5 ?AGE 557 Under discussion Commissioner Wodtkeqh uestioned the date of transfer in regard to taxes and Attorney Brandenburg advised that taxes will be pro -rated at that time and we could accommodate Mr. Deprez if he preferred to close prior to the first of the year. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and passed unanimously. Administrator Wright requested authorization to have someone attend the Save Our Coast selection committee meeting to be Wednesday, December 14, as he and Director Thomas felt very strongly that someone should be there to answer any questions. Chairman Bird said he would join Mr. Wright in attending that meeting in Tallahassee. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously approved out -of -county travel for Administrator Wright and Chairman Bird to attend the Save Our Coasts Selection Committee Meeting in Tallahassee on 12/14/83.

Pinto Utility Sery-ices Di+�ector APPLICATION - SUBJECT: PINE CREEK WATER & WASTEWATER SYSTEM FRANCHISE Joyce S. HamiltonQ\* 1) Resolution FROM: Administrative Assi Cant REFERENCES: A) Franchise Area Map Utility Services B) Schedule of Rates C) Certificate of Insurance DESCRIPTION AND'CONDITIONS: Lynnlee Development Corporation is the developer of a multi -family fifty-two (52) unit, residential complex located north of State Road 60, south of 22nd Street, east of 21st Street, and west of Range Line Road (Exhibit "A"). 59 DEC 7 1983 SQ�K� 5 PAGJ PEC 7 1983 $90,K 5.5 PnE 559 Water and wastewater treatment facilities will be built by Lynnlee. There is a possibility of the County furnishing water to this develop- ment upon the extension of water mains out State Road 60. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSES: The monthly cost of operating and maintaining the plants has been calculated at two thousand four hundred forty one dollars and twenty five cents ($2,441.25) per month which equates to forty six dollars and ninety five cents ($46.95) per unit (Exhibit "B"). Lynnlee will be responsible for the cost of operating and maintaining the water and wastewater plants for the first two years or when seventy percent (70%) of the condomimiums have been sold. At that time, the developer plans to transfer this franchise to the Homeowners Association. Lynnlee has met all requirements set out in Indian River County's Franchise Application including providing public liability and property damage insurance (Exhibit "C"). t RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this resolution (Exhibit l) to allow Lynnlee Development Corporation to build water and wastewater treatment facilities in order to provide service to Pine Creek. Staff acknowledges County will furnish water to Pine Creek provided the water main extension is timely with the building of this project. The Chairman opened the. Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There were none.

DISCUSSION RE JOHN'S ISLAND YOUNG PEOPLE USING THE NORTH BEACH ACCESS FOR SUPERVISED NIGHTTIME ACTIVITIES Chairman Bird reviewed the following request made by Michael Rose and stated that, since Mr. Rose had to leave the meeting, he would discuss this matter on his behalf.

JbOiN'IIS D PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATIOlAes en. � � ti ,�, tnaneeR*,,�.--� Mr. D i c�other Indian iv —6, unty Board of Commissioners Administration Building 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 Dear Dick: Over the years our John's Island community has had the pleasure of experiencing an increase in our teen population, while at the same time we have failed to become youth oriented at an equal pace. In an attempt to correct these inequalities, we have plans for more programs aimed at our younger members and have been considering a Recreation Hall for them and their guests exclusive use. We would like to request a change in your Policy concerning closing hours:.at the Beach Front Park adjacent to the area north of John's Island. On a prescheduled basis, we wish to open the park for controlled beach parties. This Assocation will provide a Security Guard to control parking and use. The County would be needed only to the extent of granting permission for the after hours opening of subject park.. To this end, if you would kindly place this matter on the agenda for one of your Commission (and/or Park and Recreation) meetings, I will be present to discuss it Further and answer any questions which may develop. Thank you for vour usual cooperation. r - Sincerely,'. \1-1.k,— �,_ Michael L. Rose General Manager 8( Chairman Bird reported that the Parks & Recreation Committee had felt this activity could be carried out on a permit basis to be issued in each instance. Chairman Bird felt it is well worth a try and noted that in the event it didn't work out, we just wouldn't issue any further permits. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, to accept the recommendation of the parks & Recreation Committee to permit activities as described in the letter from Michael Rose dated Oct. 18, 1983, with proper cleanup and assurances of supervision; this to be considered on a case by case basis. Commissioner Bowman wished to know who would be issuing these permits, and Commissioner Wodtke believed it would be Bill Cook, Supervisor of Parks. Commissioner Wodtke then brought up the question of alcohol as he felt the Minutes of the Parks & Recreation Committee had indicated the possibility alcoholic beverages would be allowed under controlled circumstances. Chairman.Bird informed the Board that he had made it clear that the County has rules forbidding the use of alcohol in any of their parks and these rules would be enforced. Commissioner Wodtke noted that it is specified there will be some security or supervision, but asked about law enforcement, and the Administrator noted that this is outside the jurisdiction of Indian River Shores. Chairman Bird believed that the people behind this are very much aware that they will be carefully observed. 81 DEC 7 19A3 8MK 55 two, DEC 7 1983 The Administrator asked if this would apply to any particular beach access or whether it would include the Tracking Station Park. Chairman Bird believed it will be only at the beach access closest to John's Island. He felt that in the larger park area they could lose control of the situation. Commissioner Lyons pointed out that the recommendation is for 90 days and also on a case by case basis. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. P DISCUSSION RE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL's WETLANDS POLICY Chairman Bird announced that he put this item on the agenda in case anything productive came out of yesterday's workshop. He now felt we should wait until we see the maps being produced and hear the financial impact before going into this in greater detail. Commissioner Scurlock expressed concern as to how the definition of wetlands might affect our agricultural people. He believed we need to pay special attention to developing of the definitions and how they are applied and be sure they are positive for our community. It was agreed that further action will be withheld until additional information is received. SOUTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT The Board of County Commissioners thereupon recessed at 1:47 o'clock P.M. in order that the District Board of Fire Commissioners of the South Indian River County Fire District might convene. Said Minutes are being prepared separately. The Board of County Commissioner reconvened at 2:05 o'clock P.M. with the same members present. 82 PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCE PROHIBITING SALVAGING FROM TRANSFER STATIONS The hour of 2:00 o'clock P.M. having passed, the Deputy Clerk read the following Notice with Proof of Publication attached, to -wit: VERO BEACH PRESS -JOURNAL Published Daily Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida COUNTY OF INDIAN RIVER: STATE OF FLORIDA Before the undersigned authority personally appeared J.

Dorsey, r. , AIA, RIBA i Vice President 5 FACE 58.7 Administrator Wright commented that when we originally entered into a contract with Frizzell, we were dealing with the office in Winter Park. The people in that office now have bought out Frizzell's interest. It actually is the same principals, just a different name. The Administrator believed that Commissioner Lyons is concerned that we 01 originally contracted with Frizzell on the basis of his name and reliability and would like some statement from Frizzell about their reputation. Attorney Brandenburg stated that he would be glad to write them a letter and set forth the County's position, i.e., that our contract is with Frizzell Architects and we will not consent town assignment to another organization. Administrator commented that they probably will subcontract, and he agreed we want to keep Frizzell responsible. 8� I Commissioner Lyons stressed that the Jail Committee did a great deal of research before they chose Frizzell Architects, and he wants the liability established. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized Attorney Brandenburg to express our concerns as above and ask for a statement from Frizzell indicating their position. STEEL POLE RELOCATION - EXTENSION OF 8TH STREET The Administrator reviewed the following memo and attachment: TO: The Honorable Members of-- DATE: December 5, 1983 FILE: the Board of County Commissioners _ SUBJECT: STEEL POLE RELOCATION I FROM: Michael Wright REFERENCES: County Administrato Attached is a City of Vero Beach memorandum detailing the cost of the steel pole relocation necessary for the extension of -8th Street at U.S.#1. The City has maintained the position that the County should be responsible for relo- cating the pole since the pole existed prior to the road right-of-way being purchased. In cases where the City erected poles in an existing right-of-way and it became necessary for the poles to be moved., the City assumed all costs. An example of this policy is the pole relocations on 16th Street. The City also has agreed to relocate the steel poles on 12th Street between U.S.#1 and 6th Avenue when the street is widened. I recommend the bill be paid and there are sufficient funds in the project to absorb the expense. :• DEC 7 1983 oxx 55 PnE 56g DEC 7 19 I DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDEN �?�• �� '`' ` `®J Nave DATE J :( L � SUBJECT STEEL POLE RELOCA,70N, .►UtS�#3�'TD 8t1� STREET � J M .� f i Cit ' E Mana To Mr. J.

The bid also includes the removal of the existing embedded section. The low bidder is Power Systems Construction Company, Inc., located in Jacksonville Beach, FL, in the amount of $33,940.00.- After the bids were opened, we negotiated with Howell Brantley and he reduced his price to $31,900.00, per the attached letter dated November 15, '83. I recommend we accept Power Systems Construction Company's bid based on the negotiated price of $31,900.00. Please place this on the. City Council agenda of December 6, 1983. Our original estimate to perform all work associated with the reloca- tion was $39,890.00 as outlined in a letter to Jim Davis, I.R. County Public Works Director, dated January 4, 1983. The revised cost is as follows: Material and Freight $ 7,645.00 Contract for Installation and Removal of Embedded Section 31,900.00 City Crews to Install Top Section, Transfer and Associated Work 5,200.00 Black & Veatch Billing 291.00 TOTAL COST $45,036.00 Administrator Wright assured the Board that his recommendation that the bill be paid comes to them after numerous hours with the City and a good bit of -research by our Attorney. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, to authorize the payment of $45,036 for relocation -of the steel pole at the intersection of US #1 and 8th Street as recommended by the Administrator. Discussion ensued about the cost of the relocation, and the Administrator pointed out that this is a freestanding pole, and it is embedded 19' in the ground. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. DISCUSSION RE NEEDED ADDITIONS TO TELEPHONE SYSTEM Dr. Hardin reviewed staff memo as follows: TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: December S, 1983 FILE: the Board of County Commissioners THRU : C. B. Hardin, Jr. Ph. D. SUPS ECT: TELEPHONE SYSTEM Asst. to County Administrator GENERAL SERVICES DIVISION OM: Ly n Wi�_�)J& lliams, sept. REFERENCES: B ilding $ Grounds Department At the November 17, 1983 meeting of the.Board of County Commissioners,staff was directed to carefully examine the existing telephone system for solutions to inward calling 'and busy trunk conditions. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The existing system was installed during the renovation projects of the Courthouse and Administration Buildings. Upon occupancy of the Administration Building on January 4, 1982, 164 extensions were installed. Over a period of slightly.less than two years, the number of extensions, including the Courthous6, now totals 247. The addition of the Courthouse Building Department and Civil Defense has accounted for the major portion of.this growth.. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS In-house studies of the traffic generated by and to our system along with consultation with Bell System representatives, disclosed that additional trunks, both incoming and outgoing are needed. The dimension system is designed for growth of 28 additional trunks. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the addition of five trunks to be installed as soon as possible. In-house studies, as well as a Bell provided busy study will be reviewed to insure this number is adequate, after installation. 91 mu; 5,9 . L_ DEC 7 1983 .DEC 7 1983 BOOK 55 PACE5,91 Dr. Hardin noted that we have increased the trunk lines by 83 extensions. He continued that within the last week, staff has made their own survey of the phone system and have come up with a total count of 1,617 incoming calls on a Monday with about 1,530 outgoing; this does not include transfer calls. With the breakup of the Bell System, it is necessary to ask the Board to approve an agreement before the company will even talk to us about putting on extensions, and staff feels another five trunks are needed. Commissioner Scurlock asked about private systems since apparently we are in a competitive marketplace again. The Administrator pointed out that our present contract is under a lease/purchase agreement and we have a service agreement. Commissioner Lyons explained that it is necessary to add equipment to accommodate the additional trunks and since the telephone company is no longer in that part of the business, we have to have an agreement with AT&T. This apparently will involve a one time charge of about $606.00 and a monthly charge of about $100.00. Commissioner Lyons agreed that when we get to the end of our contract on the switchboard, we probably should take another look around the marketp]ace, but in the meantime, we need an agreement with AT&T to provide service. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, to adopt Resolution 83-121 authorizing execution of a Master Service/ Purchase Agreement between the County and AT&T Information systems, Inc. Chairman Bird asked on what basis it was determined that an additional five trunk lines will satisfy the problem. 92 Dr. Hardin stated that the recommendation to go from 28 trunks to 33 was based on the past history of our volume of calls, and this did not include the SunCom calls. Commissioner Wodtke asked if the Service/Purchase Agreement ties us in to having to utilize this new system for a certain period of time and would prevent us from looking into other providers. Attorney Brandenburg did not know if there is any set period of time, but noted that this is a master agreement - if it is decided to make any purchases subsequent to this date, it could be done by another purchase order. The County is under no obligation to buy from them. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously 93 D E C 7 1993 -DEC 7 1983 QXK 5: 593 RESOLUTION NO. 83- 121 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A MASTER SERVICE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND AT&T INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. WHEREAS, AT&T Information Systems, Inc., requires that the County enter into a master agreement setting forth terms and conditions governing any purchase order or service order for communications and information -systems, products and services in use or to be acquired by the County; and WHEREAS, the attached master service/purchase agreement sets forth reasonable and appropriate terms and conditions which the Board finds to be acceptable; WHEREAS, the attached agreement does not obligate the County to deal exclusively with one supplier, but rather puts in place a master agreement to govern all subsequently executed service or purchase orders with this supplier. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA that the agreement attached hereto is approved and the Chairman and Clerk are authorized to execute and deliver same to AT&T Information Systems, Inc. for their acceptance and approval.

Book FACT DEC 7 1983 DEC 7 SERVICE AGREEMENT APPENDIX A. Definitions L Upgrade. An upgrade is an enhancement to an in- stalled system involving a major common equipment and/or software substitution. 2. Addition. An addition is the provision of addi- tional or supplementary equipment or software to an installed system, not classified as an upgrade. J. - Service Period. The service period is the term selec- ted by Customer, from those offered by ABI, during which a product or service is to be provided by ABI at specified charges. B. Classification ABI will determine whether an approved service modification constitutes an upgrade or an addition. C. Upgrades 1. An upgrade may be requested at any time prior to expiration of the service period. 2. An upgrade results in termination of the previously installed service, and applicable termination charges (if any) must be paid by Customer for any equipment removed to effect the upgrade. 3. Customer must enter. into a new agreement with ABI covering both the newly installed equipment and any common equipment remaining from the original system. 4. The terms and conditions of the new agreement (in- cluding available service periods and charges) will be those then currently offered by ABI, except that the new agreement must have a service period longer than one (1) month. Customer will not be required to pay installation charges on any equipment remaining from the original system. D. Additions 1. Equipment can be added to an existing system at Customer's option. ABI's then current charges will apply to the addition(s). 2. If at least thirty (30) days remain in the existing sys- tem's service period, Customer may elect to include the addition(s) on the existing agreement and to pay for the addition(s) over the remainder of the existing system's service period. ABI's then current charges for the addition(s) for that service period will be im- posed; if ABT does not then offer that service period for the addition(s), the charges for the addition(s) will be those for the longest available service period that is shorter than the existing system's service period. 3. If less than thirty (30) days remain in the existing system's service period, the addition(s) must be placed on the one (1) month service period at the then current rates and charges for that service period. BWK 5 PAGE 0599 4. Alternatively, Customer may select, from those then made available by ABI, a service period equal to or shorter than the time remaining in the existing sys- tem's service period. If the payment period selected for the addition(s) is shorter than the existing sys- tem's service period, Customer must, upon expira- tion of that shorter service period, either have the addition(s) removed or select a new service period, in accordance with paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 herein. 5. Termination charges will apply in the event of dis- continuance of an addition prior to expiration of its selected service period. E. Changes in Service Period 1. Subsequent to the establishment of service for an item of equipment or a system, Customer may re- quest that the existing service period be replaced by any other service period then offered by ABI_for the item or system for which the request is made. ABI's then current charges for the service period selected will apply. 2. No credit will be given for payments made during the original service period, but one-time charges will not be reapplied. 3. Termination charges for the original service period will apply if the new service period is shorter than the remainder of the original service period. 4. In the case of a service period change for an item of equipment, the new service period must be shorter than the time remaining in the service period for the system as a whole. F. Lump Sum Payment 1. At any time, Customer may prepay the total out- standing monthly charges to become due under Cus- tomer's Agreement with ABI. Payment of less than the total outstanding is not permitted. 2. For prepayment of six (6) or more monthly pay- ments, the amount due will be reduced by an amount equal to the total of the monthly charges remaining multiplied by the product of the number of month -i prepaid and a factor based on then current ABI dis- count procedures. 3. Customers who change the length of a prepaid ser- vice period will be credited any unused portion of the prepayment, subject to applicable termination charges, if any, as specified in paragraph E.3, above. 4. Customers who terminate service prior to the expira- tion of a prepaid service period will have termination charges deducted from the unused portion of the prepayment; any balance will be credited to Customer. tf, LIMITED WARRANTY American Bell Inc. ("ABI") warrants that this product is in good working order on the date title passes to Customer. For products not already in Customer's possession, title passes to Customer on the date of shipment from ABI. For products already in Customer's possession, title passes to Customer on the date Customer's order is accepted by ABI. ABI further warrants that it will repair the product, without charge for parts and labor, if it fails to work if Customer notifies ABI within one (1) year from the date title passes to Customer of such failure. If ABI determines that the product cannot be placed in good working order, ABI, at its option, may either replace the product or refund the purchase price. Repair parts may be new or equivalent to new in performance. They will be furnished on an exchange basis, and the returned parts will become the property of ABI. During the warranty period Customer must advise ABI of any change in the street address of the product. The warranty will only apply to products located within the conterminous forty-eight (48) United States. If Customer modifies the product during the warranty period and such modification, in ABI's opinion, impedes ABI's testing or repairs of the product or creates a safety hazard, the modification must be removed at Customer's expense, or Customer will pay any extra costs ABI incurs because of the modification. Warranty Exclusions This warranty does not cover damages, defects, malfunctions or product failures caused by: (a) Customer's failure to follow ABI's installation, operation or maintenance instructions; (b) Customer's modification of the product; (c) Customer's abuse, misuse or negligent acts; and (d) Power failure or surges, fire, flood, accident, actions of third parties and other events outside ABI's control.

Customer's sole remedy against ABI or any affiliated subcontractor or supplier for loss or damage caused by product defects or partial or total failure of the products, or arising in connection with the installation, maintenance or repair of the product or arising from any breach of warranty regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort including negligence, strict liability or otherwise, will be the repair, replacement or refund as set forth above and the lesser of (a) the amount of actual direct damages which are proven or (b) the equivalent of one (1) month's recurring charges for the product which would apply if the product was provided on a month-to-month service agreement at the time of loss.

At Thanksgiving approximately 180 indigents were qualified, and an additional 140 have been qualified since, bringing the total to 320 qualified for the Christmas program. The Thanksgiving program cost roughly $3,000, and we received Iabout $750 in donations. The Administrator continued that donations have been requested through the media, and last year we received about $2,500; however, we have no way of knowing exactly what will come in. The Administrator, therefore, requested that the Board authorize Welfare to use $3,000 from contingency so that they do not have to wait until a day or two before Christmas to do their shopping, which was what contributed greatly to the confusion and disorganization experienced last year. Commissioner Wodtke noted that last year there was a large last minute response from the community with all kinds of things - turkeys, cash, etc. He had a bit of trouble with dipping into contingency for Welfare funds and believed the community should be given an opportunity to respond. Administrator Wright agreed, but just did not want to be short on the day these items are needed. He was hopeful that Welfare would not need nearly that much. Chairman Bird noted that, in other words, if donations of $2,000 were received, Welfare would take only $1,000 out of contingency. Commissioner Scurlock asked if this program is only for people who don't receive other help, and Mr. Thomas informed the Board that this is all computerized now, and the applicants are qualified and cross referenced against other agencies to see that there isn't duplication. DEC 7 1983 97 Boo 55 P,Z L -DEC 7 1993 8� 55 PACE Commissioner Wodtke felt some people prefer to donate food and noted we also gave gift certificates last year. Mr. Thomas agreed that food does come in, but emphasized that they do not want to wait until the last minute. As to gift certificates, he commented there had been some problems as to what these had been used for, and now they are designated for meat only. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Welfare Department be authorized to borrow $3,000 from the Contingency Fund with the understanding that after the contributions are received, the difference will be con- sidered as a budget item for the Welfare Department. Commissioner Wodtke noted that they felt $3,000 would cover what they want to do, and asked if they anticipate receiving at least $2,000. Mr. Thomas pointed out that if they receive canned food, it can be handed out all year. He noted that Welfare was cut back at budgettime and at that time said if they had a problem, they would come back to the Board. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried 4 to 1 with Commissioner Wodtke voting in opposition. REDUCTION OF BOND REQUIRED FOR LANDSCAPING CONTRACT - TRACKING STATION PARK. Administrator Wright reviewed letter from Glenn & Mike's Landscaping, as follows, and stated that he had no specific recommendation; 98 N Glenn Mike's TELEPHONE (305) 567.7155 Landscaping, Inc. k 0 E C 6 1983 -A,* December 6, 1983 Board of County Commissioners _...!an River County, Florida County Administration Building Vero Beach,.Florida 32960 Dear Commissioners: In reference to the landscaping contract for the Indian River County Tracking Station Recreation area in the amount of $29,293.25, I request the bond for said contract be waived. At this time I have available a line of credit at the Florida National Bank, Vera Beach, in the amount of W0,000. A -sure of $80,234.30.of this line of credit is committed to the City of Vero Beach, representing 125% of the amount of a contract held by my company for landscaping of the Conn Beach - Dune Protection Project. This 125% of contract amount reflects a new policy the City of Vero Beach requires on all contracts. Had the City required 100%, rather than 1251 of their contract, my Company would have had ample funds to cover bonds for both the Tracking Station and Conn Beach projects. In order to expedite work at the Tracking Station for a Christmas completion date, I respectfully request the County Commission of Indian River County, Florida, waive the required bond. Should such bond be waived, your contract with my Company would be reduced in the amount of $701.00 which repre- sents Bid Items 25, page FA 6, Performance Bond. Your immediate attention concerning this matter would be greatly appreciated. Since r ly, Edward C. Smith President Attorney Brandenburg commented that the bond requirement really is there for protection of the subcontractors, and the Board does have the authority to waive it if the contract is under $100,000. He noted that if the Board does waive this requirement, there will be a 99 DEC 7 1983 FOOK �Y) FAUU DEC 7 1983 ofix McE 5 cost saving on the bid, and other protection could be required, such as retaining a certain percentage of the contract for a period of time. Commissioner Scurlock noted that this is one area where we didn't have any bids, and he believed in smaller type situations where you require such coverage it makes it very difficult for the smaller companies to participate. Edward Smith, President of. Glenn & Mike's Landscaping, believed the fairest thing would be for the County to hold back 10 to 150, and he felt he can work on a release of lien basis from the subcontractors. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously agreed to release Glenn &.Mike's Landscaping from the bond requirement for work at the Tracking Station Park and authorized the Attor- ney to substitute a retainage arrangement. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES WATER PURCHASE AGREEMENT Utilities Director Pinto noted that the above agreement was brought before the Board on.two prior occasions, and the Board wanted a comparison made between purchasing from the County and GDU providing their own water service. Mr. Pinto felt that GDU can explain the analysis that was performed, but noted that if GDU does purchase water from the County, the residents of Vero Highlands and Vero Shores will certainly spend less money for their water in the future. Staff, therefore, is recommending that the Water Purchase Agreement be approved; although, there is some language that needs to be clarified. Commissioner Scurlock commented that he personally is in favor of the agreement, but he would like to know what specific language change is needed. 100 A Director Pinto explained that the language in question is in regard to the requirement for GDU to pay some kind of deposit on a unit basis. He is suggesting we not do that '# and instead require GDU to pay the County base facility charge per unit monthly in advance. This would be similar to what the telephone company does. Commissioner Scurlock noted that he is just.interested in getting the money up front to be protected, and both he and the Administrator agreed that would cover us. Mr. Fancher, Vice Pres. of Finance for GDU, was not exactly clear as to what Mr. Pinto was suggesting. Mr.Pinto explained that he is only saying that as the customers are connected to the system,'or if the company wants to reserve capacity or buy allocation, those customers will be paying a base facility charge that would be paid to us monthly, but it would be an advance payment instead of after the fact. Administrator Wright asked if this would be in lieu of a deposit, and Mr. Pinto stated that it would. He continued that we are talking about something in the neighborhood of $5.50 for a base facility charge that would be paid in advance for the customers who are connected or those for whom allocations are purchased. Administrator Wright noted that a customer deposit would amount to about $60,000 based on 1200 units, and we, therefore, are saying that if GDU will pay a base facility charge up front, we will recommend they do not pay the deposit. Mr. Fancher brought up the possibility of providing a surety bond for the normal deposit amount, but Mr. Pinto stated that his suggestion still would be that they pay the base facility charge in advance; we really want the money up front. 101' DEC"7 1983 a 5 F� DEC 7 1983 WK 55 rAsE? Mr. Fancher asked if all other customers do that, and Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that we don't have any other wholesale customers; GDU is the first. It was noted that the retail people pay a cash deposit. Administrator Wright asked Mr. Fancher if GDU would have any problem with an advance as opposed to deposit, and Mr.-Fancher asked if he was suggesting that they go out and make a one time charge to their customers to cover this or that they carry this as an additional investment on the part of the utility that would be included in the rate base. Mr. Pinto believed this could be considered operating cash and would go into the rate base. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, to accept staff's recommendation and authorize the Chairman to sign the General Development Utilities Water Purchase Agreement with the change as outlined in the preceding discussion, i.e., GDU to pay in advance each month the base facility charges established by the County. Commissioner Wodtke commented that it was his under- standing that as soon as this water line is built, GDU will disconnect their treatment plant. Mr. Fancher stated that they plan to have -it in a mothball state. The treatment facility itself would not be producing any water; all the water in the system would be coming from the county. The ground storage tank will be maintained for some period of time in a mothball status, until they are absolutely sure it never would be necessary to utilize it. Commissioner Wodtke asked if GDU will continue to include the plant in their rate base, and Mr. Fancher - 1- - explained that.they are not talking about the treatment plant, they are talking about the ground storage tank. There is no reason to retain the ion exchange units. Rates were discussed, and Mr. Fancher stated the price quoted to them was $1.64 per thousand gallons and a base facility charge for a single unit, and he was not sure what that amount was. Administrator Wright believed it was about $5.50 and there wouldn't be a meter charge. Commissioner Wodtke asked, in essence, what effect this would have on the customer in Vero Shores. Mr. Fancher answered that right now it doesn't have any effect. He pointed out that any change in the rates they are charging the customers will have to come through the regulatory process of this Commission. Commissioner Scurlock noted the net effect is that the only alternative was for GDU to develop their own capital expansion program, and comparing that capital expansion to the purchase of wholesale water showed that entering into the agreement to purchase the wholesale water would result in a net benefit to the customer if everything were allowed to be passed through. In further discussion, it,was noted that this will result in an even greater benefit later on when the utility would have had to go to an additional plant expansion. Administrator Wright noted that the franchise has nothing to do with this. The franchise fee, which is based on gross revenues, will be paid whether GDU produces the water or buys it from us. Their rates are based on production of water no matter how it is produced, and the price of water will go up in the Highlands either way. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. DEC 71993 103 ; Btilf FACE F$ 9X19 55 ruff,99 Said Water Purchase Agreement will be made a part of the Minutes when fully executed and received. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES RATE INCREASE Commissioner Scurlock wished to have a comparison of how the existing rates relate to the 40% increase approved and how it will affect the.average customer. Mr. Fancher stated that because of the change in the structure, some customers will be paying less than they are now and some will be paying more than the 40%. He noted that 5,000 gallons currently cost $13.00, and this would go to $16.09, a 24% increase. Utilities Director Pinto explained that GDU is getting a 40% increase based on their present gross revenues. He continued that the Board requested that they increase their impact fees. It was felt the major part of the reduction should take place in the base facility charge rather than the gallonage charge. Mr. Pinto believed that will indicate some logic in conserving water because the more you use, the more you are going to pay. The base facility charge would be less so it particularly helps the people who use very little water. He noted that it will be necessary to have a separate public hearing on the increase of the impact fee. Attorney Brandenburg confirmed there was no advertise- ment relating to that change, and it is required. He further explained the proposed change would be to have the impact fee recover 75% of their capital cost as opposed to 50%. The impact fee itself would not increase 75%. Commissioner Scurlock agreed that it was his intent to recover more from the impact fee than from the present user. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 83-122 changing the GDU franchise and modifying their rate schedule. 104 RESOLUTION NO. 83- 12 2 WHEREAS, on the 9th day of November, 1983, General Development Utilities, Inc. pursuant to a properly filed and noticed request for rate relief, appeared- at a public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, hereinafter referred to as "Board", received and reviewed documentary exhibits as filed on behalf of General Development Utilities, Inc., hereinafter referred to as "Petitioner", and had opportunity to question Petition and, in addition, allowed for comment from citizens of Indian River County residing within the franchise area; and WHEREAS, the Board found that the Petitioner was entitled to receive a portion of the rate relief requested; and WHEREAS, the Board approved the required changes in the Petitioner's approved tariffs to reflect the rate relief requested, changes in rate structures, deposits and connection charges.

REQUEST FOR PUBLIC HEARING RE INCREASE OF CONTRIBUTIONS IN AID OF CONSTRUCTION - GDU Utilities Director Pinto suggested that we wait to set a public hearing date on the above increase until GDU comes back with the filing. Administrator Wright inquired about the water line to be built by GDU, and Mr. Fancher stated that he believed it will take about nine months; they wanted to get the agreement approved before they moved ahead with it. RESOLUTION - AWARD AND PLACEMENT OF GDU INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BONDS Attorney Brandenburg informed the Board that this Resolution is a technical formality, and it is required to enable them to close on the bonds in.New York City.

The negotiated sale of the Bonds is hereby authorized pursuant to Section 218.385, Florida Statutes. Section 2. Terms of Offer of Sale. The Issuer hereby offers to sell the Bonds at par, for delivery on December 22, 1983, at the offices of the Placement Agent named below, or at such other time and place as may be mutually agreed among the purchaser and the parties to the Private Placement Memorandum described below, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Placement Agreement and Private Placement Memorandum attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, respectively. The Issuer hereby authorizes the employment of Citibank, N.A., at no cost or expense to the Issuer, other than from the proceeds of the Bonds, as a Placement Agent under and pursuant to the Placement Agreement for the purposes set forth in the Placement Agreement, including, but not limited to, .the solicitation of acceptances of the Issuer's offer to sell the Bonds from some or all of the offerees set forth on Schedule 1 to the Placement Agreement. Section 3. Authorization of Execution and Delivery of Placement Agreement and Private Placement Memorandum. The Placement Agreement and Private Placement Memorandum, in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, respec- tively, are hereby approved by the Issuer, and the proper officers of the Issuer are hereby LK L-11 /22 /8 3-218A-13 8 5 -1- BOOK 5.5 FACE J BOOK 55 PACE l authorized and directed to execute and deliver them to the other parties thereto.

Appointment of Members Chairman Bird noted that he and Commissioner Lyons have been serving on the Regional Planning Council for over three years, and they both would appreciate being replaced. Commissioner Lyons asked Commissioner Bowman if she would agree to serve in his place, and she indicated that she would. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously appointed Commissioner Bowman to serve in Com- missioner Lyons' stead on the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. Chairman Bird reported that both Commissioner Wodtke and Commissioner Scurlock have indicated that they would be willing to take his place on the Regional Planning Council. Since Comissioner Wodtke has served previously, he would like to ask Commissioner Scurlock to serve at this time. 113 ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously appointed Commissioner Scurlock to serve in Chairman Bird's stead on the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council. B. Appointment of Alternates Commissioner Lyons indicated that he would be willing to serve as an alternate for Commissioner Bowman, and Commissioner Wodtke stated that he would be willing to serve as alternate for Commissioner Scurlock. Chairman Bird announced the appointment of alternates as above. C. Appointment of Municipal Representatives to TCRPC Commissioner Lyons noted that we need to make arrangements to appoint a municipal representative. Mr. Michael has been serving as alternate for the Indian River Shores representative whose term is now up. Administrative Aide Liz Forlani explained that the Town of Orchid is due to furnish the municipal representative and Sebastian the alternate. Commissioner Scurlock noted that we made certain commitments as to how we would rotate the municipal representative, but he believed we had varied one time. Mrs. Forlani informed the Board that we do have a Resolution that outlines how the rotation should take place, and her assistant, Mrs. White, has written to the Town of Orchid and the City of Sebastian, explaining that they move up into the municipal representative spot and asking if they are interested in making an appointment. She noted that the Commission does not appoint the municipal representatives. 114 DEC 7 1983 Poo 55 PACE 630 D E C 7 1983 ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously agreed that the Town of Orchid is to appoint the Municipal Representative to the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and the City of Sebastian the alternate, or if they do not wish to, the City of Vero Beach. COMMUNITY BUILDING FOR GIFFORD AREA Chairman Bird reviewed the following memo: oard of TO: BCommissionersyDecember 5, 1983 FILE: DATE: Attorney Administrator SUBJECT: FROM: Richard N. Bird REFERENCES: Chairman For some time I have been working with some of the leaders of the Gifford community in trying to assist them in adding an additional needed facility'in the -Gifford area. One need that they feel very strongly about is to have their own community building which, of course, would be used for any number of civic, social, recreational, and cultural type of uses. I have been exploring some options in this regard and have retained the volunteer services of a..prominent local architectural firm to design the proposed community building. The final design will, or course, require the dimensions of the site upon which the building will ultimately be erected. I have done some initial research into the availability of'properties in the Gifford area, owned by either the county or the Gifford Progressive League. I have been unable to locate a suitable parcel of property and, at this time, feel that the most logical place for the community building would perhaps be on a portion of the Gifford Park property. This property is owned by the Town of Indian River Shores and I would like the Commission's permission to correspond with the Town Council to explore the possibility of acquiring a portion of this property for the above stated purpose. In addition, I would also like to contact Congressmen Bill Nelson and Tom Lewis in regard to acquiring federal grant funds for the construction of the building. I would hope that through several contacts in Washington, funds may be available for this purpose. If funds are not available, I would pursue building the building through donations of time and labor from throughout the 115 local area. Ultimately, I believe this property and building when constructed would possibly be owned by the county and leased back to the Gifford Progressive League for their operation and control. Further, there may be other options we may wish to explore. I will be asking that this matter be added for discussion to our agenda on Wednesday, December 7, 1983 since I will not be at the meeting of December 21st due to my scheduled trip to New York to sign revenue bonds. I would appreciate your consideration of this matter at our meeting Wednesday. Chairman Bird clarified that all he is asking for is permission to continue pursuing this with the Town of Indian River Shores to see if we can open up some negotiations in regard to a portion of Gifford Park either being sold, donated, or leased to the County for possible use for construction of the proposed community building. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously authorized the Chairman to pursue the above matter with the Town of Indian River Shores. JAIL COMMITTEE REPORT Commissioner Lyons reported that he has met with those members of the Jail Committee who went to South Dakota recently. He also has met with the architect, and the Sheriff's Department has made very extensive comments in connection with the design of the service area, which is intended to be sufficient for a jail of about 360.inmates so that it will be adequate over the long term. He continued that they are still looking at the jails in Broward County and are trying to design a jail that will be as efficient as possible and still minimize construction costs. Commissioner Lyons emphasized that we must get organized shortly on a promotion program to get information to the public prior to election. D E C 7 1983 116 dseg 55 rAu P39 D E C 7 1983 DISCUSSION RE WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES Commissioner Lyons stated that he would like to ask permission for the staff to look at some water conservation measures, such as three gallon toilets which are used quite extensively in some subdivisions south of here. He would like them to investigate this and come back with a recommendation about the possibility of changing our Building Code. The Board had no objections. DISCUSSION RE PRESERVATION OF DRAINAGE PONDS Commissioner Lyons noted that we continually have new residents arriving in the county, who do not understand some of the things inherent in life in Florida, i.e., drainage ponds and our system of drainage. He, therefore, would like to have us consider setting up an ordinance to make it against the law for a contractor to fill swales or drainage ponds which were actually part of the drainage system on the original site plan. Commissioner Lyons requested that the Attorney look into this and bring back a recommendation. PROPOSED RESOLUTION OPPOSING FEDERAL TAKEOVER OF CABLEVISION FRANCHISES Commissioner Lyons believed there are some Congressmen who would like to get the counties out of the business of franchising cablevision, but when you look at some of the problems we have had, unless we have the opportunity to exercise some kind of control over local operators, he believed we will have even more problems. Commissioner Lyons, therefore, proposed we have a Resolution opposing any loss of our control over cablevision franchises. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, to authorize the Attorney to prepare a Resolution opposing loss of County control over cablevision franchises. 117 Commissioner Wodtke had mixed emotions. He suggested using some of the money generated from the franchise fees to see if there is a service available where we could go in and review their system annually to see how they are operating. Commissioner Bowman believed these companies know how to give decent service, but felt it is mainly a question of how much they are willing to invest in these small areas. Some discussion ensued regarding the advent of dish antennas and a possible change in the competitive situation, and Commissioner Lyons pointed out that no matter how this service is provided, when the customer is dissatisfied, they will come to us and he did not feel we should be shut out completely. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. DISCUSSION RE DEEP WELL INJECTION Commissioner Bowman reported that she received a phone call from someone in Indialantic, and it seems that there are quite a few in Brevard County who are unhappy with deep well injection, which they feel is still in the experi- mental stage. There is some feeling that the head of the Department of Community Affairs thinks the alternate way to dispose of sewage is by deep well injection. Commissioner Bowman believed there is a St. John's River Water Management Meeting coming up soon and continued that it has been requested that we write another letter voicing our opposition to deep well injection. DEC '71993 MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, that the Chairman be autho- rized to write another letter to Brevard County voicing our opposition to deep well injection. 118 BOOK V .55 PAC-EF94 J -DEC 7 1983 55 rmcf F35 Discussion followed regarding the fact that Indian River County already has one deep well injection project, and Commissioner Bowman stated that is different in that it only involves injection of by-products from the pectin manufacturing process, not sewage. Chairman Bird commented that he personally attended the -earlier meeting in Brevard County at which he presented our Resolution opposing deep well injection and was embarrassed to discover that we already have deep well injection here. He further noted that after some of the seminars we have had, he is not as totally opposed to deep well injection as he was, especially since our Utility Director has convinced him that we may see this method used in the future and there may be worse alternatives. Utilities Director Terry Pinto explained that they are not proposing the injection of raw sewage. The sewerage treatment has to be of a much higher degree than if they were to dump it into the ocean and in fact, would involve tertiary treatment to afford the choice of irrigating with it or injecting it; they are proposing that what can't be used for irrigating will be injected. Commissioner Bowman stated.that she would prefer it on the golf course and further noted that they would be injecting this where it never can be recovered. Mr. Pinto pointed out that the other alternative was pumping back to the mainland into the marsh area and the environmental group was totally against that proposal. Commissioner Scurlock noted that deep well injection is an extremely expensive method of disposal and actually is always an area of last resort. Mr. Pinto agreed because the water quality has to be such that it will be better than what it is being injected into - what they are injecting will be much cleaner than what is there. 119 Commissioner Lyons still had his doubts. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION to send a letter opposing deep well injection. It was voted on and denied 4 to 1 with Commission Bowman voting in favor of the Motion. Commissioner Scurlock suggested that a letter could be written stating that while we do not officially oppose the deep well injection system, we have serious questions and look for additional documentation to support a stand either for or against this process. - ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized the Chairman to write a letter as suggested by Commissioner Scurlock. PROCLAMATION DESIGNATING DRUNK AND DRUGGED DRIVING AWARENESS WEEK The Chairman requested that the above proclamation be added to the agenda. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously approved the addition of the above emergency item to the agenda. Chairman Bird read the following Proclamation aloud: 120 Sao55 F -AU P3 I DEC 7 1983 W 5.5 PACE C37 PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances (DUI) results in thousands of needless fatalities and crippling injuries each year on Florida's highways; and WHEREAS, state-wide awareness of this problem is increasing as demonstrated by recent activities of an Alcohol and Highway Safety Task Force and a Public Information and Education Task Force; and WHEREAS, the driving public of the State of Florida must become better informed of the seriousness of this problem, together with the provisions and penalties of Florida's DUI Law; and WHEREAS, the Florida Highway Patrol and local law enforcement agencies are increasing their efforts to reduce the incidence of driving under the influence on our highways; and WHEREAS, the Florida Bureau of Highway Safety is providing assistance in the development of community-based compre- hensive traffic safety programs with DUI emphasis; and WHEREAS, various citizen advocacy groups are increas- ing their efforts to spread awareness of the need to eliminate this tragedy in Florida; and WHEREAS, the use of alcohol or controlled substances while operating motor vehicles can be best combatted by local communities, where each citizen may become more keenly aware of the problem of DUI•and the consequences_ both in terms of human life and criminal penalties; and WHEREAS, the State of Florida has by resolution proclaimed the week of December llth as DRUNK AND DRUGGED DRIVING AWARENESS WEEK IN FLORIDA.
