What is needed now is the Board's approval to put them all on the appropriate line items. Director Barton recalled that the Board approved the salary increases on a merit basis and requested that staff come back with the actual figures once these were all worked out. These are those figures. However, three departments were not included in this budget amendment and will be presented at the next Board meeting. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board approve the above budget amendment, as recommended by OMB Director Barton. Under discussion, Chairman Scurlock recalled that there were four or five employees whose salaries were below the Cody recommendation. Director Barton reported that those salary adjustments are included in these figures. Commissioner Wodtke questioned the low balance left in reserve for these accounts and Director Barton stated that the reserve did include this money from the very beginning. He felt it was important that the money be put into the appropriate line items as soon as possible before the reserve eroded away. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously, (4-0) . DISCUSSION AND AUTHORIZATION TO PUBLISH RESCINDING COUNTY ORDINANCES #77-19, #80-3, #80-10 OMB Director Barton recalled that the possibility of rescinding these three ordinances was discussed at the last meeting, and that the Board authorized the County Attorney to proceed. The County Attorney wished the Board to review the matter before it is advertised for a public hearing. Commissioner Lyons asked if rescinding these ordinances will track state statute on interest on bond issues, or will we again have a limit. Chairman Scurlock answered that it tracks the state statute, but we will have a limit in that it is tied to the average bond index. Attorney Brandenburg explained that the three old ordinances included in today's backup material established a cap of 9.5%. The proposed new ordinance, which for -some reason was not included in today's backup material, is worded so that the County can issue bonds up to a maximum rate allowable by law. He noted that the recommendation of the Finance Advisory Committee was to rescind the three ordinances and adopt the new ordinance. A public hearing will be advertised for February15, 1984. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board authorize the County Attorney to proceed with preparations necessary to rescind Ordinances 77-19, 80-3, and 80-10, and to advertise for a Public Hearing for Feb. 15, 1984. Under discussion, Attorney Brandenburg assured Commissioner Wodtke that all we are doing today is authorizing a Public Hearing to consider rescinding the three ordinances. 10 nn In JAN 25 1984 5 PAS.

CANCELLATION OF BOARD MEETING OF JULY 4, 1984 ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously cancelled the regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners scheduled for July 4, 1984. 11 SELECTION OF CONSULTING ENGINEER FOR S.R. #60 WATERLINE EXTENSION PROJECT The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/24/84: TO: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THEDATE: January 24, 1984 FILE: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THROUGH: Michael Wright, County Administrator SUBJECT: SELECTION OF CONSULTING ENGINEER FOR DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION - - ADMINISTRATION OF RT. 60 WATERLIN 1 j, EXTENSION PROJECT Z'U lip ' G 'lPn toFROM� REFERENCES: Utility Services Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The County Commission authorized the Administrator to form a Selection Committee to receive proposals, carry out interviews and make a recommendation for the selection of a consulting engineer to design, prepare specifications and carry out construction administration for the construction of a waterline to service the Rt. 60 corridor. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSES: The Selection Committee comprised of: Terrance Pinto Jim Davis Mike Galanis Gary Brandenburg Jeffrey Barton received proposals from twelve (12) consulting engineering firms and requested interviews from four (4) of the twelve (12) proposals. Those selected for interviews were: Beindorf & Associates Carter & Associates Lloyd & Associates Sippel & Masteller Associates Mr. Beindorf's firm elected not to be interviewed and withdrew his proposal due to other workload commitments. The Committee analyzed the qualifications, experience, and pricing methodology of the firms -Carter, Masteller, and Lloyd. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the Board authorize the Administrator and/or his designee to negotiate the cost of the proposed project starting with Carter and Associates and if in fact a suitable fee cannot be reached, be authorized to negotiate with Masteller & Associates; and proceed in same manner with Lloyd & Associates if in fact agreement cannot be reached with the number two firm. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board authorize the Administrator to negotiate the cost 12 JAN 2 5 1984 tootP, JAN 2 5 1984 mox 55P,^:v,903 of the proposed project starting with Carter and Associates, and if a suitable fee cannot be reached, to negotiate with Sippel & Masteller Associates, and then with Lloyd & Associates, if agreement cannot be reached with the number two firm, as recommended by Utilities Director Pinto. Under discussion, Administrator Wright advised that Attorney Brandenburg, Utilities Director Pinto, and OMB Director Barton will negotiate a price and bring it back to the Board for acceptance. Attorney Brandenburg explained the negotiation process. Negotiations are begun with the top ranked firm. If we are unable to reach a suitable arrangement, we break off negotiations with them, and proceed with the second ranked firm, and then, if necessary, negotiate with the third -ranked firm. We cannot negotiate simultaneously with all three firms. In addition, once we have broken off negotiations with a firm, we cannot go back and renegotiate with that firm. A committee was set up by the County Commission to review the submittals of all the engineers and come up with what is called a "short list" out of the 12 or 14 submittals that were received. The law requires that we must hear public presentations of at least three firms. After.a short list of four firms was completed, Beindorf & Associates decided they had too much work pending and withdrew their submittal. After the three presentations were heard, the committee voted to rank them according to their capabilities, as shown in the above memo. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously, (4-0). 13 PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION TO ESTABLISH FRANCHISE — RIVER RUN WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEM The hour of 9:15 o'clock A.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.

Pinto Utility Services Director APPLICATION TO ESTABLISH SUBJECT: FRANCHISE - PUROWATER UTILITY SYSTEMS, INC. .•� - 1) Resolution Joyce S. Hamilton.l N-11, A) Agreement FROM.: Administrative AssItant REFERENCES: B) Legal Description/ Utility Services Location Map C) Insurance Certificate DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Purowater Utility Systems, Inc., is the corporation which will furnish water and wastewater services to River Run, a multi -family development located north of Reflections on the River, east of U. S. Highway #l, south of Floravon Shores, and west of the Indian River (Exhibit "B"). Purowater Utility Systems, Inc., has an agreement to purchase their water from General Development Utilities(Exhibit "A"). This agree- ment is in the process of being assigned to Purowater Utility Systems from Muller Enterprises, Inc., and General Development Utilities, Inc. A rate schedule for this franchise will be determined at a later date during a public hearing held for that purpose. Purowater Utility Systems has submitted a certificate of liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 per category as required(Exhibit "C"). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this application to establish a franchise for Purowater Utility Systems., Inc. Utilities Director Terry Pinto reported that the assignment from Muller & General Development Utilities to Purowater Utility Systems, Inc. to purchase water from General Development Utilities is now in hand. He noted that the major difference in this franchise from other County franchises is that the franchise is not proposing any rate structure at .the present time. Staff feels it would be best for Purowater to come back to the Board to establish a rate structure after the award of bids and start of construction when the costs of the operation have actually 15 been defined, rather than projecting the costs. The site pian meets all requirements and they can proceed with construction; they cannot, however, charge anyone anything until.they come back to the Board in a public hearing to establish the rate structure. Chairman Scurlock asked how they are going to market their product if they don't know the cost of the water, as people generally want to know all of the costs involved before purchasing a condominium unit. Henry Muller, developer of River Run, spoke from the audience and explained that their system is being set up entirely for'the 136 -unit condominium development, and they are taking the risk that the people will approve a proper rate. In the meantime, however, they will project a rate based on an approximate monthly operation cost for all the people who have purchased units. Chairman Scurlock expressed concern about rates being set too low, which generally results in residents later coming in and objecting to any increases. He, personally, would prefer that an adequate cost be established up front. Commissioner Wodtke asked why GDU just didn't increase the size of their franchise in that area to include River Run, and Director Pinto explained that the water is being purchased from the franchise area of the City of Sebastian. In order to expand, they would have to establish a new franchise in Indian River County, and he assumed GDU did not wish to do that. Mr. Muller explained that GDU does not have the capability to supply both water and sewer. GDU can supply only the water, and they cannot do that without the approval of the City of Sebastian. River Run will have its own wastewater treatment facility. He noted that this franchise is very similar to the franchise granted for Reflections on the River, except that Purolater will not get sewer. 16 JAN. 25 1984 WA 55 en'T.-9106 JAN 25 1994 BOOK '5 P46r Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) closed the Public Hearing. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board adopt Resolution 84-4 establishing River Run Water & Wastewater System Franchise, as recommended by Utilities Director Pinto. Under discussion, a resident of Floravan Shores questioned the franchise area shown on the map he had received in the mail. Commissioner Wodtke explained that only the shaded area will be serviced by the franchise, and that Floravan Shores is not part of that area. The County is required to notify all residents within 300 feet of a proposed utility franchise. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and passed unanimously, (4-0).

Brandenburg REFERENCES: County Attorney A recent inquiry from a concealed weapons permit renewal applicant has raised a question with respect to the necessity for having renewal applicants submit a fresh set of fingerprints to the County along with each successive renewal application. The County's Uniform Pistol Licensing Ordinance provides that permits are renewable upon presentation to the Board of, among other things, "an updated record check by the Sheriff of Indian River County." The present interpretation of this provision has been that the ordinance requires submission of a fresh fingerprint card at the time of renewal in order to facilitate a criminal history search through both FDLE and the FBI, similar to the search conducted for all new applicants. The Sheriff has indicated that his office can provide what they feel is an adequate updated records check through local sources, without the necessity for submitting fresh prints. It is requested that the Board specifically express its desires in this matter so as to enable staff to'make a proper interpretation of the present ordinance. If the Board is satisfied with an update through local sources only, then staff will dispense with the requirement of new fingerprints upon renewal. It should be noted that $17.00 of each renewal application goes toward the processing of fingerprint cards for current renewals. If fingerprint cards are no longer to be used, then the Board may wish to reconsider this portion of the renewal application fee. This is the same fee which was recently increased by the Board to offset an FDLE fee increase. Attorney Brandenburg reported that Sheriff Dobeck has said that he would have no problem in dispensing with the required fingerprint check for renewal applicants if the Board did not object. The County Attorney felt that the question today is one of County policy and how comfortable the Board would feel with requiring only a local check instead of an FBI and FDLE check and considering this in relation to the burden placed on the individual requesting the renewal permit. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board establish County policy.re formal procedure in renewal applications for a concealed weapons permit to require only a local check; with the understanding that this does not rule out the possibility that a nation- wide check might be required in some instances; and that the fee be changed accordingly. In discussion, Chairman Scurlock was assured that the original application would go through the entire process of being sent to the FBI and FDLE and subsequent renewals would not require new fingerprint cards. Attorney Brandenburg explained that at renewal time a check is made to find out if the applicant has been arrested during the two year period since his last permit was issued. Major Roy Raymond of the Sheriff's Department believed that in the most serious cases, a NCIC (National Crime Information Center) would pick up the same arrest information as the FBI check, but he cautioned that some municipalities were not consistent in entering arrest information into the computer. Administrator Wright just wanted to point out that in one instance, a renewal applicant was denied a permit because he had been arrested during the two year period since his last permit was issued, and the Administrator believed that arrest information was picked up through the FBI check. William Stegkemper, one of the individuals who brought this matter to the attention of the County Attorney, expressed his strong objection to renewal applicants being required to be fingerprinted every two years. He pointed out that the people who come down to apply and provide all the required information, recent photographs and 20 JAN 2 5 1984 610K 55 Pul 010 JAN 25 1984 BOOK no( 911 fingerprints are law-abiding people and they are the ones being impacted, not the criminals. Mr. Stegkemper urged the Commission to research the legality of requiring applicants to be certified in the firearms safety course as he believed the County might be in a position of great liability if an individual commits a crime after being certified in the course and obtaining a permit. He felt that the County should not make it any harder to obtain a concealed weapons permit and urged the Board to'dispense with the fingerprint check on renewal applications. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously, (4-0).

The incident cost one Court Bailiff his life and sparked the growing concern shared by the Judges and Court Personnel in this County about courtroom security. The meeting was attended by all of our Judges as well as my representative_, and at the conclusion of the meeting, certain recommendations Were made. As Sheriff of this County, I concur with these recommendations and have devised the following plan of action to ensure the continued safety of Court Personnel and the citizens of Indian River County. 21 I am willing to fund the first years cost of manpower and the purchase of needed equipment from the Sheriff's Forfeiture Trust Fund, with subsequent years being funded as a regular budgetary item. 0`�51�eriff P.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss and request an upgraded security system for the Courthouse, Judges Offices, Clerks Office and Courtrooms, while in session. In attendance were Court Administrator David Douglas, Judge L. B. Vocelle, Judge Graham Stikelether, Judge Charles Smith, Clerk of the Circuit Court Freda Wright and Indian River County Sheriff's Department Chief Deputy Roy Raymond. At the conclusion of this meeting it was the opinion of*all in attendance that in order to reduce the odds of an incident similar to the recent Orange County Courtroom tragedy they would request Sheriff Dobeck to devise a plan and submit same to the County Commission for funding. The following steps should be taken: 1. getter train Bailiff's to recognize and handle persons who fit the profile of potential terrorists. 2. Hire one Bailiff to work in the capacity of a bonded Deputy Sheriff on a full time basis. This individual would be armed and work as a back up for hazardous situations. *NOTE* - Bailiff's presently are part-time employees of a non -certified nature and are not empowered to carry firearTs. 22 BOCK 55 P,�6ti 919 JAN 25 194 JAN 25 1994 BOOK S 91 3. InstalZ some type of trouble alarm system in the courtrooms in order to quickly summon help in violent situations. 4. Equip all Bailiff's with walkie-talkies. 5. Improve screening of persons entering the Courtroom. Elimination of large packages, etc.) The result of this meeting along with recommendations were brought to Sheriff-Dobeck, by Roy Raymond, for his evaluation,. Major Roy Raymond of the Sheriff's Department spoke for Sheriff Dobeck who was in Tallahassee today, and gave a brief summary of the following proposal and breakdown of costs for increasing the security in the courthouse. PROPOSED SECURITY PLAN BAILIFF'S The present court system is served by four part-time Bailiffs who are considered civilian employee's and are not certified as bonded Deputy Sheriff's. They are for the most part, untrained in police procedures and not permitted to carry firearms. Under the proposed system, the following measures would be taken. 1. Hire and educate (basic 320 hour) one Bailiff to work the courts on a full-time basis. This individual would be a bonded Deputy Sheriff with full arrest powers and would act as a Chief Bailiff or Coordinator for all other Bailiffs. This individual mould be armed and able to react to hazardous situations, which would require the use of a firearm. 2. Train all other Bailiffs in a 40 hour course which would be offered through the Indian River Community College. This course would be structured to educate the individual in self-defense security procedures, profiting potentially dangerous persons and other court related activities. 3. Arm non -certified Bailiffs with chemical mace (tear gas). 4. Equip each Bailiff with a walkie-talkie for direct contact with Sheriff's Department Dispatch System. 5. Provide each Bailiff with a portable hand held metal detector for courtroom screenig (when deemed necessary). 6. Install an alarm system which would be monitored at a centraZ location by Sheriff's personnel and could be set off by each Judge or Bailiff from a hand held coder in the event of a violent situation. This type system is available through Guardian Systems. 23 COST Z. FULL TIME BAILIFF Major Raymond reported that after the cost breakdown was completed, they had received a bid on the alarm system of $2,397 from High Security of Orlando, which is approximately $1588 less than the bid received from Guardian Alarm Systems, which would reduce the cost of the initial year's program to $30,547. Chairman Scurlock thanked Major Raymond for his presentation. Commissioner Lyons asked that when an emergency situation arose where a bailiff was called in for just one hour and paid an entire day's wage of $38, would a full-time bailiff reduce those costs.

Chairman Scurlock thanked Major Raymond for his presentation. Commissioner Lyons asked that when an emergency situation arose where a bailiff was called in for just one hour and paid an entire day's wage of $38, would a full-time bailiff reduce those costs. Major Raymond felt it would, 24 A i 5 1994 seeK 55 PAV911 JAN 25 1984 BOOK 55 Put-'Pit-5- but hdcPitbut could not say how much. He also pointed out the difficulty in keeping bailiffs on a part-time basis. OMB Director Barton felt that the equipment should be assigned to the location rather than to individuals, and Major Raymond explained that the equipment would be assigned to the location, but pointed out that four courtrooms will be in use. In addition, Freda Wright, Clerk of the Court, has expressed concern over handling more and more large sums of money as a result of the growth in the County. She also would be provided with one of the panic alarm systems for use in her office. Chairman Scurlock asked if we could use confiscated funds to pay salaries, which is actually a recurring expense, and Major Raymond stated it would be only for the first year of the program, but advised that next year's program would have to go in as a regular budgetary item. Major Raymond recalled that the salary of a full-time bailiff had been included in the Sheriff's Dept. initial budget preparation, but the item was cut before presentation to the County Commission. He believed that it would probably be included in next year's budget request. Chairman Scurlock didn't want to commit funds today that might not be available in next year's budget. It was suggested that the bailiff's salary should come out of the judges' budget, but OMB Director Barton pointed out that they don't have enough money in their budget for their own expenses. Commissioner Wodtke felt that by next September when we set the budget we will know better what the needs are in regard to a full-time bailiff. Commissioner Lyons did not know if we would end up with a full-time bailiff or not, but felt the purchase of the proposed security equipment is a must. 25 The Board reviewed the following budget amendment dated 1/25/84: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: January 25, 1984 FILE: tiL 1_6 FROM: Jeffrey K.

GIFFORD AREA TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT PLAN - ROAD CONSTRUCTION The Board reviewed the following memo, dated 1/17/84, and Summary of Recommendations dated 12/27/83: TO. The Honorable Members of DATE: January 17, 1984 FILE: the Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Michael Wright, County Administrator SUBJECT: Gifford Area Traffic Improvement Plan - Road Construction C.I.P. FROM: James W. Davis, P.E `, � REFERENCES: Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS During the January 10, 1984 meeting of the Transportation Planning Committee, the Gifford Area Traffic Improvements Plan was unanimously approved. The plan recommends traffic, drainage and pedestrian facility improvements along S. Gifford Road, N. Gifford Road, and Lindsey Road. The estimated cost is $1,073,988. (see page 24). The Committee recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the plan and authorize staff to proceed with the selection process of an Engineering Firm to design the project. Funding The Road Construction Capital Improvement Program (cash flow chart) has been modified to include the Gifford Project. The Transportation Planning Committee approved the complete captial Imrpovement Program (page 25 of the Gifford study) and recommends that all projects, which have been previously approved be implemented. Funding shall be from the Secondary Gas Tax fund now held by the County. The Fund is adequate to support the program through the 1984-85 Fiscal Year. Prior to October, 1985, it is anticipated that a more accurate funding schedule will be prepared. If a shortfall is apparent, the staff would request the Finance Advisory Committee to recommend short term financing to complete the funding. P.fl T83-06-10 Gifford Area Traffic Plan SM%I M OF RECObMENDATIONS South Gifford Road (41st Street) Widen pavement to 24 feet from Old Dixie Highway to 58th Avenue; Install sidewalk from 28th Avenue to 43rd Avenue; Install curbing and improve drainage at Old Dixie Highway; Install guardrail and replace the flashing beacon at 58th Avenue. North Gifford Road (45th Street) Improve and install sidewal]-s from U.S. 1 to King's Highway; Re-route through -truck traffic; Regrade shoulders on the south side of the roadway; Install curbing and resurface the intersection at Old Dixie Highway; Install guardrail at 43rd Avenue; Install guardrail and replace the flashing beacon at 58th Avenue. Lindsey Road (49th Street) Extend -and pave Lindsey Road as a two-lane roadway between U.S. 1 and King's Highway to serve through -truck traffic. Public Works Director Jim Davis presented staff's recommendation to adopt the Gifford Area Traffic Improvement Plan dated December 27, 1983. He pointed out that the extension of Lindsey Road, as noted on the above summary, would include the construction of a bridge over the Lateral H Canal. He recommended that the bridge construction be done out -of -house. The estimated cost for these improvements is $1,073,988. This figure does not include any costs for right-of-way acquisition. Staff is assuming that right-of-ways will be donated and do not anticipate much trouble in this respect. The estimated cost also does not include any costs for relocation of utilities, and they anticipate that the utility companies will relocate their poles as they have done on 16th Street. 28 JAN 25 1994 e00X 55 PAV 918 J JAN 2 5 1994 Chairman Scurlock invited Gifford community leader, J. Ralph Lundy, to give his input and feelings about the proposal. Mr. Lundy stated he was here today as a representative of the Gifford Progressive Civic League which supports the recommendations made by the Transportation Planning Committee. He explained that they have been in meetings with that Committee and also have met with Public Works Director Davis and they have reviewed the extensive traffic studies made by the County. They realize that a lot of time has been spent preparing these studies and feel that the improvements plan presentation made here this morning is one that they can endorse. It is somewhat similar'to a master plan that they had drawn up last month; however, they did not present their master plan to the Commission because of the traffic study being done by the County. He advised that he has copies available this morning of their master plan. However, they certainly did not intend for their master plan to interfere with the work of the Transportation Planning Committee or any other studies being made in regard to the Gifford area. They have a few additions they would like to make from time to time in regard to the traffic situation in Gifford, but, as a whole, the traffic improvement plan is acceptable. Mr. Lundy emphasized the need for this plan and urged the County Commissioners to accept it. Chairman Scurlock questioned Director Davis in regard to the timeframe of these improvements, as he felt that while it was great that we have such an excellent plan, we should know when construction would actually begin. Director Davis referred to the the following Road Improvement Cash Flow which pretty much describes the funding posture of all the Public Works projects that have been recommended by the Transportation Planning Committee, W M M M many of which have been approved by the Board. According to it, construction could start in January of 1985, after all the right-of-ways are acquired. The utilities can then begin moving their poles away from the pavement. e 30 JAN 2 j 1984 agog 55 nA 92* CQ L,.J L.� ROAD IMPROVF.T~M CASH FLOW 1OR14 1984 1985 In Oct. - Dec. Jan. - ALar.

Chairman Scurlock did not want to see a situation where we have the plan, and then we find a reason for a delay. He wished the improvements to be made in a timely fashion and in the most cost efficient manner. Director Davis believed that we could keep our schedule but noted that there is a deficiency in funding all the projects on this list as you approach the latter quarter of 1985. As part of a solution, he suggested that costs could be better defined, that some projects could be delayed into 1986, or perhaps some short-term financing could be obtained to make up the shortfall. He reported that they are implementing some of the projects now and are going to be able to save money on some of the projects. Administrator Wright emphasized that this is the capital improvement program that the Board"has approved and if we meet all the timeframes, we are going to have to borrow money. He thought it would be realistic at this point to decide to delete some of these projects or stretch out the timeframe to more closely coincide with the revenue cash-flow. Commissioner Wodtke felt that the County should analyze our needs on an annual basis, similar to what the DOT does, and perhaps somewhere in 1984 or 85, our priorities may change because of the availability of funds. He also felt that we should project our needs over a 5 or 10 year period. In regard to Lindsey Road, it could well happen that all the right-of-ways will be easily acquired and Director Davis could move this project up. However, Administrator Wright JAN 2.5 1994 32 90 '05 PACE -922 J JAN 25 1984 ARK 5 rAv, 923 pointed out that the Road Improvement Cash Flow chart is basically a 3 -year capital improvements plan. Commissioner Lyons, newly appointed Chairman of the Transportation Planning Committee agreed that project priorities would be.addressed during the months ahead, and that the Committee would also be considering a possible tax on gasoline. However, he noted that the matter at hand is actually a statement of priorities of the Transportation Planning Committee and it was that Committee's unanimous decision that the needs in the Gifford community should be addressed now and not in 1990. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board approve the recommendation of the Transportation Planning Committee to adopt the Gifford Area Traffic Improvement Plan, and that we indicate our willingness to continue with the program as set forth by the Committee until we have accomplished the improvements outlined. Under discussion, Director Davis pointed out that the engineering work for the Gifford improvements should probably be done out -of -house as his staff is loaded up with petition paving, park projects, and approximately 50 other projects, and he really didn't feel they could do justice to the construction of the bridge. Chairman Scurlock requested that Director Davis come back to the Board with a recommendation that would include possible funding, and for authorization to advertise to go out for bids. 33 Administrator Wright stressed that the first thing that must be done is to begin acquiring the right-of-ways. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously, (4-0). COMPLETE GIFFORD AREA TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT Don C. Scurlock, Jr., former Chairman of the Transportation Planning Committee, gave a last report on the recommendation of Committee to purchase flashing beacons to be placed at every school in the County. The Committee felt very much that they wanted to improve the safety at all schools in the County and discussed at length which entity would be responsible for the cost of each beacon. The committee felt very strongly that the matter was important enough for the Commission to just bite the bullet and fund the beacons. However, after the initial expense, the maintenance of the beacons would be taken care of by the various entities involved. The Committee just wanted the project to move ahead and be completed. Chairman Scurlock reported that as a result of all the discussion in this matter, it was the firm recommendation of the Transportation Planning Committee that all new schools and all new public buildings in the County must obtain site plan approval from the County. Director Davis reported that the'cost to install the beacons would be approximately $24,000. Commissioner Wodtke asked if there were any grants available for anything like that and Director Davis agreed 34 JAN 2 5 1984 Baas 55 ?AiE A JAN 2 5 194 to look into the possibility of the Bureau of Highway Safety contributing to a safety program such as this. ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner.Wodtke, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved the recommendation of the Transportation Planning Committee to fund the purchase of the necessary beacons as outlined in the report; with the understanding that a search will be made for any outside funds before any expenditure is made.
