MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is between the Florida Counties of
Okeechobee, Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach.
Section 252.40, Florida Statutes, authorizes the formation
:Y
`. of mutual aid agreements between public entities within the state
for reciprocal aid and assistance in case of disasters too great
to be handled by a single entity. In many emergency situations,
local resources alone may be inadequate to hold life and property
losses to minimal levels. Resources within the -named counties
are sufficient, if combined, to cope with almost any disaster
pos-sible.• Each of the counties participating in this agreement
has established a local disaster preparedness organization.
The Counties participating in this agreement agree to the
following concepts and.conditions that would apply to the call for
mutual aid or to the lending of such aid:
1. Upon request of.the duly constituted authority of any
of county participating in this agreement, the agency receiving
F
such request for assistance will proceed by the most expeditious
means possible to render the necessary assistance, subject to
the following conditions: (a) the agency rendering such assistance
does not so tax its own resources aa._to_.preclude.an adequate
response to emergency situations within its own political boundaries,
and (b) no other provision of this agreement is violated.
2. Any assistance provided pursuant to this agreement will
be done at the expense.of the assisting agency, provided that if
a disaster area is declared by the President of the United States
or the Governor of the State of Florida and the area made eligible
for relief funds, the requesting agency will then be responsible
for reimbursing the assisting agency for all expenses incurred.
Record keeping for such reimbursements shall be a joint responsibility
of the two agencies involved.
3. Those authorized to request, and upon request to render,
such assistance will be the duly constituted heads of the local
5

r1984
FEB 1
governments concerned, provided that a department head of an
individual service may render emergency assistance upon request
of a like department of another county when in the best judgment
of the department head such assistance (a) is needed and (b) will
not cause the department to exceed its operational budget. If
excessive expenses or manpower requirements would be involved,
the department head must obtain authorization for such assistance
from the governing body of the county concerned.
Each of the undersigned Florida Counties has agreed to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and has authorized execution
by the respective Chairman of the Board of County'Commissioners.

IRC Housing Authority Memo: To County Administrator
January 3. .1984
Discription and Conditions:
The State of Florida's Department of Community Affairs in -their letter
of December 23, 1983 announced they will accept applications for projects
to be funded through the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) for local
projects to assist low-income individuals Section 409,711 (a -e), Chapter
82-228, Laws of Florida. These grants will be for a six month period for
minimum for each county of $5,000 plus a pro rata share based on the 1980
census of the poverty population of each county. Applications must be
postmarked no later than February 15, 1984.
Because of the change in the Federal Law -only one-fifth of the -funding
orginally legislated for local government is available in Florida this year.
Our pro -rata share for the period indicated is $6,295. The Indian River
County Housing Authority is the non-profit subgrantee for the Indian River..
County Board of County Commissioners. The program covered under this grant
will provide rehabilitation consulting services which will activate re-
habilitation funding from private institutional and government sources.
The Farmers Home Administration Section 504 Program provides housing
rehabilitation funds in the form of (1) low interest loans, (2) loans and
grants and (3) grants to the low income elderly. There are approximately
315 owner -occupied substandard housing units suitable for rehabilitation
in Indian River County. Low income families lack the money to make their
homes safe and sanitary.
A Pilot Housing Rehabilitation Program was carried out successfully in
the Geoffrey Subdivision during 1983. This year we will target the School
District Subdivision of Wabasso. There are 66 dwelling units most of which
are substandard and approximately 60 units are owner -occupied. We plan to
assist 16 low income owners in bringing their homes up to safe and sanitary
standards.

We would like to note any funds not applied for under this grant category
will be redistributed among counties that make applications.
Recommendation:
We respectfully request the County Commission adopt and approve a
resolution to be signed by it's chairman approving the submission of this
application. The $6,295 Grant plus cash and inkind contribution by the
Housing Authority would be supplemented with about $38,000 in loans and grants
from the Farmers Home Administration Section 504.
This Program requires no additional County funds. _
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board

application to the State of Florida Dept. of

DISCUSSION RE UNIONIZATION OF COUNTY EMPLOYEES
Administrator Wright reported that it appears that we
are going to have an election called to determine whether
the County employees want to be unionized by the Communications
Workers of America, AFL-CIO. During the -next sixty days
there will a campaign waged with the County presenting their
side and the union presenting their side. The union, of
course, are experts in the matter and the County is not.
15
FEB 1 1984 x001 56 PkE �.`
8w, 56 PACE M'
Administrator Wright recommended that the County hire
the services of J. David Richeson, who is an attorney and
also an expert in labor relations. He felt Mr. Richeson
would be very helpful as he has been of assistance in the
past in the development of personnel matters, rules and
regulations.
Attorney Brandenburg advised that during a union
campaign, all information must be distributed in a very fair
and equitable manner, and recommended that an expert be.
hired to make sure the County acts correctly, especially in
view of rulings that change from day to day.
Commissioner Lyons commented that he has been involved
in many labor relations situations over the years_ and felt
that we need someone with that expertise.
Commissioner Scurlock supported the recommendation, but
stated he would be looking very closely at the not to exceed
figure for the consultant's services. Administrator Wright
requested the ability to get Mr. Richeson on board now and
gave an approximate figure of $7,500, which would come out
of personnel funds.
Commissioner Wodtke wanted the opportunity to sit with
Mr. Richeson as he felt the Commissioners should be apprised
of the union campaign.
Attorney Brandenburg advised that if the Commissioners
meet with Mr. Richeson, the meetings would, in all likelihood,
come under the Sunshine Law.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the
County Administrator be authorized to hire
the services of J: David Richeson at a
figure not to exceed $7,500, which will come
out of Personnel funds.
16
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird wanted it clearly
understood that the County is not necessarily hiring a
consultant to fight the union. The County is spending up to
$7,500 for legal counsel and advice as to how we should
legally and properly proceed with the process which will
enable County employees to.make a free choice as to whether
or not they wish to become unionized.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted on and carried
unanimously.
PROPOSAL FOR RENOVATIONS OF HEALTH DEPT. BUILDING

Thru: Michael Wright, County Administrator
SUBJECT: Attached proposal for renovations at
Health Department Building, 2525 14th
Avenue, Vero Beach, Florida
FROM: J.B. Tucker, M.D. REFERENCES:
County Health Director
Recently, you were contacted concerning efforts to establish a reasonable and cost
effective method to expand the facilities at the above referenced building. Since
that time, meetings have been held with responsible and cooperative county officials
that have produced the attached estimate for minor renovations and improvements.
These renovations would enable the department to expand clinic rooms in excess of
thirty per -cent and hopefully meet the needs of our clients for the next few years.
At this time, it is requested that the attached estimate be considered by the full
board with•the hope that the department receive funds for these renovations. It
should be noted that the health department will be funding other needed items,i.e.
new clinic and Environmental health equipment, furnishings, draperies or window
coverings and as such will be incurring substantial expense within its current bud-
get. All equipment, furnishings, desks, etc, are in excess of twenty years old and
are iii dire need of replacement.

I have reviewed the requested alterations and additions, as
we discussed, for the County Health Department. Listed below are -
the estimates for the plumbing (addition of exam room lavatories),
interior painting, demolition and reconstruction of interior walls,
and storage cabinets.
Plumbing - $2,790 - Includes addition of six (6) wail hung lava-
tories, associated plumbing (water and sewer.), demolition and re-
moval of darkroom sinks. Price is based on after hours basis, to'
avoid interference with scheduled clinics. County staff will make
necessary repairs to walks and floors after completion of required
work.
Interior Painting - $600 - Material.only. We hope to use,inmate
labor to minimize cost.
Demolition and Reconstruction - $500 - Material - In -staff labor,
along with inmates, for labor portion. It appears that the majo-
rity of this request is labor.
Storage Cabinets - $1,500-$2,000 estimate. Contracted price - I
will contact cabinet maker for specific price based on your actual
needs or requirements.
If I have failed to cover any requests or you require addi-
tional information, please contact me.
Dr. J. B. Tucker, County Health Director, discussed the
proposed plans for renovating the Health Dept. Building. He
felt that these plans will only provide for today's working
needs and his department will, undoubtedly, be back in the
18
future to request funds for a larger facility, probably at
another site.
Commissioner Lyons commented that he had met with Dr.
Tucker at the Health Dept. Bldg. and noticed that they are
putting in several sinks. He was amazed that the sinks had'
not been installed originally because clean hands are`the
first step in basic health care. -
Administrator Wright advised that the renovations were
not budgeted, and he recommended the costs be paid from the
Board's reserve for contingency fund.
Dr. Tucker asked if the Board could authorize a minimum
amount of $6,000 for the renovations.
The Board reviewed the following budget amendment dated

contingencies are running very low,
and Administrator
Wright
emphasized that the renovations are needed now.
Commissioner Scurlock felt that we must raise this
question with every request for funds because the contingencies
are running low, and there are sure to be other emergency
situations before the end of the fiscal year.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird,
SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, that the
Board approve the above budget amendment for
an amount not to exceed $6,000 for alterations
to the Health Dept. Building, as recommended by
OMB Director Barton.

Under discussion, Director Barton reported that the
present contingency level is approximately $200,000.
Commissioner Wodtke asked if we anticipate receiving
any huge hospital bills for indigent patients, as he
recalled that there have been bills in the past that have
totalled as much as $20,000-$30,000. Dr. Tucker felt that
was always a possibility, but reported that there were no
indigent patients in the hospital at the present time. He
advised that the Health Dept. is trying to develop some
working relations with the hospital through the Florida
Community Health Service, and he now serves on that board.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted on and carried
unanimously.
Discussion ensued regarding the low level of the
contingency funds and how those funds would be affected by
the out -of -County trials of David Gore and Fred Waterfield.
It was estimated that the two trials would cost the County
20
$130,000 each and paid for out of the Board's reserve for
contingency fund.
Commissioner Bird suggested that rather than moving the .
whole trial out of the County, a jury could be brought in
from another county. Attorney Brandenburg stated that
concept was carefully reviewed at the time of the Chandler
trial here in the County, and it was rejected because of the
feeling that every effort should be made not to sequester a
jury unless absolutely necessary.. The second reason was
that fewer witnesses are used. It was noted that while the
trial was being held out of the County, Indian River County_
wouldbe short of one judge.,
ACCEPTANCE AND EXECUTION OF ROCKRIDGE PROPERTY OWNERS LEASE
Commissioner Bird explained that the Rockridge Property
Owners Association has been leasing what is known as
Rockridge Park from the County for years, and up until this
point, it has been handled in an informal manner. Now,
however, the property owners association has requested that
it be handled in a formal lease agreement.
Virginia Brewer, Secretary of the Rockridge Property
Owners Association, questioned Item 5 in the proposed lease
agreement in regard to the association returning a riding
lawn mower to the Parks Department. She suggested that
perhaps they could purchase the mower from the County.
Community Services Director Thomas believed that the,,
County needs the lawn mower and, secondly, there is some
liability involved.
Commissioner Wodtke asked if it might not be better to
have the Road & Bridge. Dept. come out and mow the grass on
the property, but Commissioner Bird felt we should not get
into that situation.

som 56 Pn6E 22
There was some discussion about having the mower leased
along with the property as it is rather an antique piece of
equipment.
Mrs. Brewer felt the rest of the agreement was satisfactory
to the association.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the
Board adopt Resolution 84-7 providing for the
lease of Rockridge Park by the Rockridge
Property Owners Association, Inc., and that
the lease agreement be revised to include the
leasing of the lawn mower along with the property.
Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke asked if the
County would be liable if anyone was injured on the leased
property.
Attorney Brandenburg stated that the County has the
building covered under its property insurance policy and
that the agreement also includes a hold harmless provision
in respect to the activities. -
Marie Morris, Treasurer of the Rockridge Property
Owners Association, advised that the association does carry
fire insurance on the contents of the building and intends
to obtain liability coverage also. A copy of that insurance
policy will be sent to the County.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted on and carried
unanimously.

JAIL SITE RIGHT -OF -FIRST -REFUSAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF
VERO BEACH
Commissioner Lyons was concerned with Item #4 in the
proposed right -of -first -refusal agreement. He felt that the
County should be considered the most favorable prospect and,
as such, pay whatever the going rate is at the time of
purchase without getting down to the 10% consideration.
Attorney Brandenburg explained that Item #4 covers the
provision, that if in 10 or 15 years down the line the City
of Vero Beach adopts a policy other than 10% of fair market
value, we would be able to exercise our options. He noted
that it has taken quite some time to get this right -of -first
refusal agreement from the City and recommended that the
Board authorize its acceptance.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the
Board approve the Right -of -First -Refusal
Agreement between the City of Vero Beach
and Indian"River County re purchase of the
jail site, and authorize the signature of the
Chairman.
Commissioner Lyons stated that out of fairness to the
City of Vero Beach, the loo is a requirement of the FCC.
It was agreed that the County is.actual-ly receiving a
free first -right -of -refusal.

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the City is the owner of a certain parcel of property of
approximately 10 acres in size located at the Vero Beach Municipal Airport, the
legal description of which is attached to this agreement in Exhibit A, which land is
hereinafter referred to as the "Airport Land", and
WHEREAS, the County is the contract -purchaser of a 20 -acre parcel of
property north of and adjacent to the Airport Land, which property will be used
by the County for the construction of a criminal justice complex, and
WHEREAS, the County desires to enter into this right of first refusal with the
City to insure the Airport land's availability in the event the County expands the
complex in the future,
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of ONE DOLLAR and
other valuable consideration in hand paid to the City by the County the receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged, the County and the City agree as follows:
1) Right of
First Refusal.
During
the term of this agreement the City shall
No offers shall be presented by the
not sell, lease,
or otherwise
dispose
of the Airport Land to any third -party
without first having offered the Airport Land to the County under the same terms
and conditions as offered by such third -party and accepted by the City.
2) The Term. The term of this agreement shall be for 20 years from the date
of this agreement.
3)
Activation of Right of
First
Refusal.
No offers shall be presented by the

4) Termination of Right of First Refusal. Once a contract has been presented
to the County under the right of first refusal, the County shall have 45 days to
either: (1) enter into with the City a substantially similar contract, as to price and
length of lease, or, (2) enter into a long-term lease (long-term being defined as any
period greater than 20 years), under a lease which provides that the annual lease
payment will be 100 of the fair market value of the leased land and which provides
that the fair market t,alue shall be adjusted annually using either the CPI Index or
a new property appraisal. The CPI Index shall be used unless the City chooses to
provide a new appraisal at the City's expense. Failure to enter into a contract
with the City within the 45 day period shall terminate the County's right of first
refusal to the land specified in the third -party contract.
5) Third party contracts for less than entire Airport Land. Should the City
accept an offer for less than the entire Airport Land and should the County not
excercise its right of first refusal, then, except when paragraph 6 below is
pertinent, the right of first refusal for the remainder of the Airport Land shall
remain intact for the remainder of the term of this agreement.
6) Contiguous Land. Should the County fail to exercise its right of first
refusal for a portion of the Airport Land, which, once leased to a third -party,
would separate the remainder of the Airport Land from the property owned by the
County for the criminal justice complex such that the Airport Land and the County
owned land are no longer contiguous, then the right of first refusal for the
remainder of the Airport Land shall terminate immediately.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned City and County have caused this
agreement to be executed by their respective officers.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING LETTER OF INTENT RE ISSUANCE OF

FROM: D
Based on the audited financial statements of Hetra Computer, dated December 31, 1982
and the unqualified opinion of their accountants, Arthur Anderson & Company of
Orlando, Florida on March 16, 1983, financial analysis was made using the standard
measures as to certain ratios used in the financial community to determine credit.
worthiness of the applicant.
We have no problems with the request of Hetra Computer, for the issuance of the
Industrial Development Bonds. It should be further understood that as part of
the above mentioned conclusion, a take-out committment from some financial institution Cs�
to purchase the entire issue is a requirement for any further consideration.
Je e . Ba, rt , Director
Office of Manage nt and Budget
L. . "Tommy"homas,
Community Services Director
Attorney Brandenburg explained that this is a standard
resolution authorizing a standard letter of intent and
inducement for up. to $2.5 million in industrial revenue
bonds for the construction of a 40,000 sq. ft. industrial
facility on property that was recently rezoned by the County
out at the intersection of S.R. 512 and I-95.

Commissioner Lyons noted that the above memo refers to
purchase of the entire issue, and Attorney Brandenburg
confirmed that was consistent with his statement.
Community Services Director Thomas noted that-HETRA has
indicated that they were working with a number of institutions
and suggested that "institution" in the underscored line.in
the above memo be changed to "institution(s).
OMB Director Barton wished to be assured that HETRA has
a commitment from a group or an individual to purchase the
entire issue.
Director Thomas believed that the County would need
more protection in accepting a commitment from an individual
than from a recognized financial institution, and Administrator
Wright agreed there would have to be some type of guarantee
in that case.
Commissioner Bird asked if we had any written commitment
from HETRA-re their timetable as to the utilization of this
bond issue.
Robert Byer, Vice President of HETRA Computer &
Communication Industries, Inc., felt that was a very difficult
question to answer, but reported that they have done a
number of things over the last several weeks, including the
commission of a Vero Beach firm to design the road into the
facility, and they have dealt with several banks in regard
to the purchase of the bonds. At this point, he anticipated
a commitment from at least one of them in the next week or
two, at which point they will get the architects working on
the design of the building and proceed immediately with the
construction. It is the company's hope that they could
occupy the building by late summer 1984. Whether they can
obtain that objective is, to.some extent, beyond their
control. One of the things that might hamper this timeframe
is obtaining telephone service, which is critical to their
operations.
The service needs to be brought up the road,

which they have yet to build, and Southern Bell has indicated
it might take some time before service is provided.
Commissioner Bird asked how they arrived at
construction costs of $2.5 million if they are still in the
process of commissioning an architect to design the building,
and Mr. Byer explained that an architectural firm up in
Brevard County helped them to put that figure together.
They just .haven't started the detailed design work yet.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board
unanimously adopted Resolution 84-8, authorizing

Re: Proposed Acquisition, Construction and Equipment
of Computer System Manufacturing Facility
Based upon recent discussions with you, it is the under-
standing of the Board of County Commissioners (the "Governing
Body") and the officials and representatives of Indian River
County, Florida (the "Issuer"), that you are currently considering
the construction of an approximately 40,0.00 square foot industrial
facility for the design, engineering and manufacture of computer
systems, sub -systems and peripherals, and other electronic
systems, including any necessary utilities for such facility,
within the territorial limits of the Issuer (collectively, the
"Project"); that the costs of the Project to be financed with the
bonds, hereinafter described, will not exceed $2,500,000; that the
Project will provide employment in the area of the Issuer for
approximately 200 people; and that the willingness of the Issuer
to issue and sell its industrial development revenue bonds for the
purpose of financing part of the cost of the acquisition, con-
struction and equipment of the Project is an important fact under
consideration by you in determining the extent of the development
feasibility of the Project.
The Governing Body has determined that the issuance of
industrial development revenue bonds by the Issuer to assist you
by financing such Project in the area of the Issuer will result in
an increase of employment in such area,.and that the issuance of
such bonds will serve a public purpose by advancing the economic
prosperity and the general welfare of the State of Florida and its
people.
Accordingly, in order to induce you to incur expenses
for the initiation of such Project and its financing, the Issuer
hereby makes the following proposal:
40
HETRA Computer and Communications
Industries, Inc.
February 1 , 1984
Page Two
1. The Issuer will issue its industrial development
revenue bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$2,500,000 for the purpose of paying part of the cost of the
acquisition, construction and equipment of the Project, pursuant
to preliminary general plans and specifications relating to such
facilities which are on file in the office of the Clerk of the
Governing Body. The bonds will be issued in such aggregate prin-
cipal amount, mature at such times, bear interest at such rates
and be subject to such other terms as shall be agreed upon among
you and the Issuer and the bondholders.
2. You and the Issuer will enter into a Loan Agreement,
Mortgage and Security Agreement (the "Agreement") which shall
provide for a loan of bond proceeds by the Issuer to you for the
purpose of the acquisition, construction and equipment of the
Project, and you will execute and deliver a promissory note (the
"Note") evidencing the loan. The Agreement shall be assigned
either to a bank trustee for the benefit and protection of the
bondholders, or to the bondholders. The installment payments to
be made by you pursuant to the Agreement and Note shall be
pledged to the payment of the principal of, interest on and
redemption premium, if any, applicable to the bonds and -the fees
and expenses of the trustee, if any. The aggregate principal
amount of the bonds shall only be fully sufficient to pay the
cost of the Project, the cost and expenses of financing the same
and the expenses of you, the trustee, if any, and the Issuer
related thereto.
3. The Issuer will cooperate in the.preparation of the
Agreement, the Note, the trust indenture, if any, and the
necessary resolutions for the authorization and sale -of the
bonds.
4. Upon delivery of the bonds, the provisions of this
proposal and the agreement resulting from its acceptance by you
shall have no further effect, and in the event of any incon-
sistency be the terms of this proposal and the terms of the
Agreement and the Note in the form in which they shall be finally
approved by resolution of the Governing Body, the provisions of
the Agreement and Note as so approved shall control.
5. Upon acceptance by you of this.proposal, the Issuer
shall keep open and outstanding this commitment and inducement,to

you for a reasonable time so long as you shall be proceeding with
appropriate efforts toward conclusion of any arrangements
necessary to the Project, and (after finding the Borrower finan-
cially responsible as described in paragraph 8 hereof) so long as
there shall be no material adverse change in your financial
condition; provided, however, if for any reason (other than that
which shall be the fault of the Issuer) the bonds are not deli-
vered to the purchaser or purchasers thereof within one year from
the date hereof, then the provisions of this proposal and the
agreement resulting from its acceptance by you will be deemed
cancelled. In such event, or in the -event of its earlier can-
cellation by agreement between you and the Issuer, neither party
shall have any rights against the other and no third party shall
have any rights against either party except:
(a) You will pay to the Issuer the amount of all expen-
ses which shall have been incurred by the Issuer in connection
with the Project, and any administrative fees of the Issuer in
reviewing and processing your bond issuance application;
(b) You will assume and be responsible for all
contracts entered into by the Issuer at your request in connec-
tion with the Project; and
(c) You will pay the out-of-pocket expenses of offi-
cials and representatives of the Issuer incurred in connection
with the Project and will pay counsel for,the Issuer and the firm
of Freeman, Richardson, Watson & Kelly, P.A., bond counsel, legal
fees for legal services related to the Project or the financing
thereof.
6. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any of the
bonds or the interest thereon from any -funds of the Issuer
derived from any source other than the Agreement and Note, or any
guaranty agreement by third parties, and in no event may the
taxing power or other revenues of the Issuer be pledged to pay
any of the bonds or the interest thereon. Each bond shall con-
tain a statement substantially to that effect upon its face. The
Issuer shall not be required to incur any expense with respect to
the Project or the bonds unless requested to do so by you, in
which event you hereby agree to reimburse the full amount of such
expense to the Issuer; and the Issuer may require payment to it
of such amount as a prerequisite to its incurring any such

expense. In accepting this proposal, you thereby agree to indem-
nify and defend the Issuer and hold the Issuer harmless against
any and all claims, losses,' "liabilities or damages to property or
any injury or death of any person or persons occurring in connec-
tion with the construction, equipment and operation of the
Project, or in any way growing out of or resulting from this pro-
posal (upon its becoming an agreement, if accepted) including,
without limitation, all costs and expenses of the Issuer,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in the enforcement
of any of your agreements herein contained. This indemnity shall
be superseded.by a similar indemnity in the Agreement and, in the
event the bonds are not delivered, this indemnity shall survive
the termination of the agreement resulting from your acceptance
of this proposal.
7. If -it becomes evident at any time, in the opinion of
bond counsel to the Issuer, that the interest on the bonds will
not be exempt from federal income taxation on the proposed date
of delivery of the bonds, and/or that you are or will be inca-
pable of or unwilling to perform your obligations under the
Agreement and Note, when executed and delivered, this proposal,
if accepted by you, shall be terminated by the,Issuer, and
neither party shall have any rights against the other and no
third party shall have any rights against either party except as
provided in paragraphs S(a), (b) and (c) of this proposal. -
The.Issuer has not undertaken any definitive review
of your financial statements, nor has it received from you a com-
mitment from a lending institution in regard to the financing for
the Project. The Issuer expressly reserves the right. to review
such statements and/or commitment and to decline to issue the bonds
unless the Issuer finds that you are financially responsible and
fully capable and willing to fulfill your obligations under the
proposed Agreement and Note.
'If this proposal shall be satisfactory to you, please
execute and date the acceptance statement below, and provide an
accepted copy to the Issuer, whereupon this proposal will consti-
tute an agreement in principle with respect to the matters herein
contained.

STATUS REPORT RE REVISIONS TO COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCES
Attorney Brandenburg reported that planning consultants,
Solin and Associates, who were hired a couple of months ago
to prepare revisions to the County Zoning Code, have submitted
a preliminary report which has been reviewed by.the Legal
Dept., the Planning Department and the Chairman of the
Planning & Zoning Commission. As a result of that review,
Solin has submitted a draft of new residential and various
:other districts to replace those that are in our current
code. The County Attorney anticipated that a public --hearing,
can be scheduled in the very near future.
DISCUSSION RE BUILDING & ZONING PERMIT FEES
-- The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/23/84 and
Fee Schedule dated September, 1983:
TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: January 23, 1984 FILE:

SUBJECT: BUILDING AND ZONING
PER14IT FEES
FROM: Michael Wright REFERENCES: Buil/Zon. Fees
County Administrator DIS:RMK
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of January 18, 1984:
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
With the recent relocation of the County/City Building Department,
the reorganization of the. Planning and Development Division, and
the initiation ofa comprehensive approach to permit application
review, the staff has identified several problems in the existing
system as well as several opportunities to facilitate operation of
the process. To achieve these objectives, however, will require
action by the Board of County Commissioners.

One problem identified by the staff is the current zoning analysis/
fee system. This system presently involves imposition of a fee for
a review function which is, at times, duplicative and probably bet-
ter suited for another division. While this system was probably
necessary in the past when the County's planning staff was physi-
cally and functionally separated from the building department and
a control mechanism was required, this is no longer the case. With
the building and planning departments located in close proximity to
one another and working closely with each other, the control pro-
vided by a zoning permit is not required as long as a zcning review
is performed in conjunction with another function.
At present, the issuance of a zoning permit for a struc•,:ure which
has received site plan approval or administrative approval involves
a duplication of work performed by the planning.staff, since zoning
requirements are considered during site plan review. As such, there
appears to be no justification for the imposition of a zoning -fee in
those cases. The zoning function, which involves review of proposed
activities to ensure compliance with the standards of the applicable
zoning district including permitted uses, setbacks, height limita-
tions, etc., is a necessary -activity, but with most structures this
function could be incorporated within the -building permit review
process.
Zoning fees currently represent a significant source of revenue for
the County. In the first nine months --of Calendar year 1983, total
revenue derived from zoning permit fees was over $41,000. Elimina-
tion of those fees could represent a loss of revenue to the County
of -more than $55,000 per year.
Besides. the zoning fees, another inequity related to the County's
fee system concerns building permit fees. At present, building
permit fees differ from the City to the County. County building
permit fees and plan checking fees are determined by the value of
construction cost. The Board elected to adjust this valuation to
reflect seventy five percent (750) of the total value for purposes
of assessing fees, while the City uses 100% valuation. With a 100%
valuation in effect during_the first nine months of Calendar year
1983, the additional revenue would have been $623,200. On an annual
basis, this would be approximately $75,000.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS:
The staff has considered the existing situation, assessing various
alternatives to remedy the problems. In analyzing the situation, -
the staff reviewed alternatives to the present system in relation to
several objectives, including the elimination of fees for duplica-
tive services, the establishment of an efficient process of permit
review, and the establishment of an effective mechanism for imple-
menting the County's zoning regulations.
The staff has determined that the present system should be revised
to correct some of the duplications and inefficiencies. First, the
staff recommends that all zoning fees with the exception of five be
abolished. Those..five are: beverage license inspection, mining per-
mit, mining.permit renewal, temporary trailer permit, and home occu-
pation permit. This would produce a revenue shortfall to the County
of approximately $55,000 per year.
Secondly, the staff recommends that the County building permit fee
be increased to a level consistent with the fee charged by the City.
This will involve computing total value of the construction cost
for purposes of assessing the fees. The amount of revenue to be
derived from this increase will be approximately $75,000, more than
making up for the shortfall produced by abolishing the zoning permit
fees.
46
Third, the staff recommends that the zoning compliance review func-
tion be transferred from the Planning and Development Division to
the Building Department. With this system the building staff can
review zoning requirements at the time of building permit review at
no.additional charge. The planning staff would still ensure compli-
ance with zoning standards for those projects subject to site plan
review. ---- --
In addition to transferring the revenues and a majority of the
responsibilities, it is also proposed that three employees and their
associated expense, also be transferred to the Building Department.
There are currently five positions authorized for the department.
Four of the positions - two code enforcement officers, one secretary
and the zoning specialist - are funded through the MSTU. One posi-
tion, which is funded by the Landfill Department, -was recently vaca-
ted and at this time, I have no intentions of filling the position.
The position that would remain in the MSTU would be the zoning spe-
cialist.
Annual salaries associated with the transferred employees are appro-
ximately $68,000. The other costs associated with the department
are approximately $11,000.
The long range advantage on this departmental consolidation should
result in the same efficiency with a decrease in overall cost.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners take the
following actions: (1) eliminate all zoning permit fees except those
for a beverage license inspection, mining permit; mining permit re-
newal,'temporary trailer, and home occupation; (2) raise the County's
building permit fees to the same level as the City's; (3) transfer
zoning compliance review responsibility to the Building Department;
and (4) approve the appropriate personnel transfers.

Administrator Wright recommended the elimination of the
50 -odd zoning fees listed in the above fee schedules which
are primarily a -function that can be handled in conjunction
with the issuance of a building permit. He pointed out that
site plan procedures would not be affected by this.change. •
Administrator Wright also recommended that we increase
our building fees to the level currently being charged to
the municipal residents. We use the same scale, but we
use a factor in the unincorporated areas of 75% of total
value instead of 100%, i.e., if you live in the unincorporated
area, you pay three-fourths as much, but you pay an additional
fee to the Zoning Dept., which makes it an almost washout
situation.
- Ester Rymer, Building Dept. Director, reported that
building plan examining fees for both the municipal and
unincorporated fees are figured on 75% of total assessment
value.
Administrator•Wright reported that there were some
concerns by the building trades people that they would, in
essence, be paying for removal of junk cars and other large
items to comply with -the Code Enforcement Board. He stated
that was not the intent. The Administrator felt that the
Building Dept. should be oriented towards building concerns
and stated that he would be glad to get a clear division of
revenues and time spent by the Code Enforcement people
between now and the end of the fiscal year and then make the
appropriate budget amendments in October.
Peter Robinson, builder of Laurel Homes, stated that he
would have no objections to the proposed change as it would
be a real benefit to eliminate one step in the planning
process. Their main concern was that right now there are a
lot of building permits going through the Building Dept. and
there is going to be a lot of money built up in the enterprise
fund; they don't want to see this being used for code

enforcement and have the Building Dept. run short of necessary
operating funds to serve the trades people.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the
Board accept the recommendation of the County
Administrator in the above memo of 1/23/84 and
authorized the increase and decrease to coincide
on the same day.
Under discussion, Director Rymer felt that it will
speed things up if we eliminate that one step. She pointed
out that this will only affect single family homes, and
Administrator Wright emphasized that this change will not
affect the site plan approval process.
Commissioner Bird asked if the building permit fee
would increase for a single family home, and Director Rymer
reported that they are going to increase the cost of the
building permit and plans examining.fee by 25% to coincide
with the City of Vero Beach, but at the same time eliminate
the zoning fees.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted on and carried
unanimously.

FROM:C-- REFERENCES:
James W. Davis, P.E._
Public Works Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION
The paving of 14th Avenue and 38th Avenue is complete. The final cost and
preliminary estimate for the work was (not including recording fee) :
Final Cost/FF Prelim.Cost/FF Final Cost Prelirr.inary Estimate
14th Ave. _ $7.1168 $8.35 $23,228.71 $27,782.66
38th Ave. $5.7690 $6.07 57, $17,583.88 $19,279.64
All construction costs are under the original estimates. The Final Assessment
Rolls have been prepared and are ready to be delivered to the Clerk to the
Board. Assessments are to be paid within 90 days or in two equal installments,
the first to be made twelve months from the due date and the second to be
made twenty-four months from the due date at the rate of interest established
by the Board of County Commissioners. The due date is 90 days after the .
final determination of the special assessment. The interest rate shall be 12%
per annum.
ALTERNATIVE AND ANALYSIS
Since the final assessments to be benefited owners will be less than computed
on the -preliminary assessment ro11s, the only alternative presented is to
approve the final assessment rolls.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
It is recommended that the Final Assessment Rolls for the paving of 14th Avenue
and 38th Avenue be approved by the Board of County Commissioners and that they
be transmitted to the Office of the Clerk to the Board for collection. '
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,

Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke noticed that
there is a considerable difference in the footage cost and
asked if there was more subgrade preparation on 14th Avenue
than 38th Avenue.
Director Davis explained that the $7.11 figure was one
of the highest preliminary costs, but the final cost did not
come in that high; it is comparable to the others we have
done. He noted that 38th Avenue did not require any drainage
work.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted on and carried
unanimously. _
Chairman Scurlock asked how the double surface pavement
was holding up and Director Davis felt that it has been well
received, but occasionally there is a hole in the surface
that needs patching. Some complaints about the dust have
been received, but the dust will eventually stop because the
aggregate will be polished off due to the traffic. This
type of pavement is $2.50 cheaper per lineal foot than the
smoother asphalt. Another benefit of this type of treatment
is that it can be covered with regular asphalt.
Chairman Scurlock reported that someone had asked him
if that was the final coat on AIA and Director Davis said it
that was just the leveling course.

Attached also is a reduced copy of the Tax Assessors plat.
The current assessment is $6,300. The possible sale of this

Public Works and they have no need for this property.
It is recommended by staff that the Board consider the sale
of this property so that any proceeds may be used for further
park development or acquisition. If you authorize us to proceed,
we recommend that an appraisal be obtained.

RECOMMENDATION FOR ENGINEER FOR STATE ROAD #60 WATERLINE
Utilities Director Terry Pinto reported that they have
negotiated with the first -ranked firm, Carter & Associates,
and cannot come to an acceptable agreement for their
engineering services on the State Road #60 waterline. The
lowest amount reached was $138,000. Since the second -ranked
firm, Sippel & Masteller Associates, included a bid of
approximately $94,000 with their original proposal, staff
would like authorization to proceed with negotiations with
that firm.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the
Board accept the recommendation of the
negotiating committee to proceed with
negotiations with the second -ranked firm,
Sippel & Masteller Associates.
Attorney Brandenburg explained that the $40,000 difference
between the first firm and the second firm was too great not
to go to the second firm.
Commissioner Bird asked if the second firm has the
expertise in this field of hydraulics and Director Pinto
stated that was determined when they compiled the "short
list."
Chairman.Scurlock asked if it was agreed that the firms
could go outside for help; he pointed out that Lloyd &
Associates have 48 employees and Carter & Associates have
25-30 employees, while Sippel & Masteller have but two
employees and wanted to be sure that the timeframe is:met,
as time is of the essence on this project. Director Pinto

advised that they were satisfied with the timeframe given by
the second firm.
Attorney Brandenburg informed the Board that the
second -ranked firm has the ability to raise their quote
during these -negotiations, but then the firm would be
running the risk of not getting the job.

January 27, 1984
Don C. Scurlock, Jr., Chairman
Board of County Commissioners
1840 25th Street
Vero Beach, Florida 32960
Dear Commissioner Scurlock:
For some time, we have been considering the proposal
previously outlined in your communication to our client,
Vista Royale Association, Inc. I am taking this oppor-
tunity to outline what I believe will be an acceptable
settlement of our differences based upon prior discussions.
1. The County would convey the parcel of property
on which the water plant at Vista is presently located
to Vista Royale Association, Inc. We would need the fol-
lowing:
A. Proof of access to the property from both
U.S.;rl and from the interior of the development. It would
be my surmise the County administration has this infor-
mation available, which would have been obtained at the
time of the transfer from the developer to the County.
B. We would need proof of title to the land
being conveyed. The County probably has title informa-
tion through the date of acquisition from Vista and this
can simply be updated in the form of a title insurance
policy.
C. We would request the County stake the prop-
ert_y or furnish a recent survey showing the location of
the boundaries of the property being conveyed.
2. There would be a conveyance of equipment and
material.utilized in the operation of the water plant.
The County would do the following:
A. The County would remove various well pumps
and equipment, which shall be in working order when re-
moved. It is our understanding these pumps need to be
removed or they will continue to deteriorate. The County
will take proper steps to store these pumps in.order to
prevent further deterioration of the equipment.
B. The material and equipment removed from
the plant site would be accounted for by the County and
returned to the site or a valuation agreed upon, which
would be reimbursed to the association,
Ain
C. The site -.should be cleaned up and placed
in a good state of repair, including the following:
i. Removal of weeds, growth and so forth;
ii. Removal of the small wooden buildings
on the premises;
iii. Removal of miscellaneous trash and
unusable materials as designated by the association;
iv. Tear down the walls of the sludge
pond, break up any flooring, so the water can freely
drain through, and then fill in the pond with dirt;
and
V. Repair and reset the fence around --
the facility as needed.
These items should be acceptable, since there was
some indication the County would -dismantle -the entire
water plant and either transport it to another site or
store it. We are not.requesting this be done, which would
be a considerable savings to the County.
3. A settlement would contemplate the adoption by
the County of a new water/sewer rate structure in essen-
tially the same form as presented by Arthur Young in itsNovember, 1983, draft, wherein it is recommended an ERU
method be utilized and certain recommended rates are set
forth. Assuming the rate resolution to be considered
by.the County would contain the basic fo rmat'of the Arthur
Young report, there would be no objection from the asso-
ciation to the new rate'structure. We would request the
,resolution be drawn at your earliest convenience,,if it
has.ot already been dome., and a copy submitted tome
for poYusal by the association.
4. It_ would be contemplated the litigation between
the association and the County would be dismissed upon
the adoption of the rate structure as contemplated herein
and the accomplishment of the items relating to transfer
with each party to the litigation bearing its -respective
costs.
Sincerely,
Chester Clem
Commissioner Scurlock reported that the Board has
received a proposed solution whereby the County agrees to do
a number of things in reference to the land and some of the
improvements to the water system that was in existence in
the Vista Royale area; and in return, the property owners

association agrees to settle and accept the new rates which
were contained in the Arthur Young proposal submitted last
November. He pointed out that the Board cannot set any
rates today as it must go to a public hearing.
Attorney. Brandenburg confirmed that this is just an
informational item today so that we know what position we
are in before the public hearing.
Administrator Wright reported that staff concurs that
all requirements can be met.
Commissioner Lyons requested that there be a time limit
set for the storage of the equipment that was removed from
the water plant. Administrator Wright felt those items
could be stored in the building. The County is going to
give them the pumps along with the property and the building.
Utilities Director Pinto recommended tha:tP all the
equipment be dismantled and put in the building, and
believed that would end the County's responsibility in the
matter.
Commissioner Bird asked if we had any estimate of what
it would cost to comply with the provisions in the settlement.
Administrator Wright estimated that it would run approximately
$3,000-$4,000 and advised that the work would be done
in-house by the Road and Bridge Department.
Commissioner Bird felt the staff should be congratulated
on working out this settlement and Attorney Brandenburg
advised that it would be in the best interests of the County
to accept the settlement.
STATUS REPORT ON..JAIL
Commissioner Lyons reported that the Jail Committee is
continuing negotiations with the architects and it looks as
if a new set of plans will be ready sometime during the next
two weeks. It also appears we are going to get a figure
closer to the $25,000 per bed, which seems to be the norm
60
for a jail of comparable size, without having to compromise
our main objective of having a jail that will have a minimum
number of full-time guards, etc.

DISCUSSION RE MARINE RECREATION AREA ON A SPOIL ISLAND

Commissioners DATE: January 18, 1984 FILE:
SUBJECT: Boat club
FROM: r • Lyons . REFERENCES:
dpmmir s - oner
I have been approached by Bruce MacIntyre, President, Vero
Marine Center, to have the County participate in providing a
marine recreation area on the second Spoil Island, south of the
new bridge on the east side of the channel. This island was one
of those suggested for recreation purposes in our Spoil Island
studies. I would like permission for the staff to pursue this
request with Mr. MacIntyre and the State.

D'X ':PAGE- K. ,
FEB 1 198 -Ar
FEB 1 1984 am' 56 PAcf, _U'%'",
Commissioner Lyons pointed out that the Marine Island
Advisory Committee has done a lot of work over the years to
bring the spoil islands under the control of the County
instead of the State. While the committee never quite
finished that job, it did determine that certain islands
should be developed for passive recreation. During the last
6-8 months we received a request from the Boat Club to
expand the activity at Boat Island, but that island was not
on the list for further development because it is too low.
Another request was received from the Rotary Club and he
tried to get them interested in Earman Island, but they felt
" there was too much traffic in the channel on the east side
of the island, and the water on the west side was too
shallow. In the meantime the Boat Club became interested
through Bruce MacIntyre about the possibility of expanding
the activity on the second spoil island south of the 17th
Street Bridge on the east side of the channel, which is one
of the islands that the committee determined would be
successful for passive recreation.
Commissioner Lyons reported that the committee agreed
to work with the State to get control of all the islands,
but he would like to see this done on an individual basis.
Since we have received this request, he felt that it would
be a very opportune time for Administrator Wright to assist
in getting permission to use the spoil island as a recreational
area, and also to consider the possibility of development
through the State boating fund.
MOTION::.WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the
Board authorize Administrator Wright to assist
in getting permission from the State to use the
second spoil island south of the 17th Street
Bridge as a passive recreational area, and to
64
look into the possibility of obtaining some State
boat funds for development of the area.
In discussion, Commissioner Bird asked what effect this
will have on the priority of developing Earman Lsland and
Director Thomas explained that Earman Island is an entirely
separate issue. They still have -plans to go ahead with it,
and if it does not appeal to the Rotary Club, maybe it will
appeal to some other group. The recreational area on Earman
Island would actually be a County park, and we already have
a lease on the land itself.
Commissioner Lyons noted that we have zoned all of
these islands for passive recreation.
- Commissioner Bowman was very familiar with the second
spoil island to the south of the new bridge and agreed -that
it would be an excellent location for passive recreation.
Commissioner Bird understood then that we are going
ahead with our commitment to develop Earman Island as a
marine park, either through funds from F.I.N.D. or through
other grants.
-Commissioner Lyons suggested that we should watch how
much we put into Earman park to make sure that we get enough
out of it.
Commissioner Wodtke reported that he and Director
Thomas have been authorized to go to Tallahassee in regard
to this matter, but several meetings have been cancelled for
one reason or another. He hoped that within 30 days, the
County will receive some kind of recommendation from the
State in regard to ownership of all of the spoil islands and
get something finalized on this matter.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted on and carried
unanimously.

FORMATION OF
A COMMITTEE TO STUDY FEASIBILITY OF BUILDING
A PUBLIC GOLF COURSE AT KIWANIS-HOBART PARK
Commissioner Bird reported that shortly after he became
a Commissioner, people began asking for more places to play
golf and Kiwanis-Hobart Park seemed a good location for a
public course. About that same time, the City of Vero Beach
began studying the feasibility of planning a public golf
course, and as a result of their plans, he put the matter on
the back burner. However, the City of Vero Beach decided
the project was not feasible for various reasons. Recently,
he has had several meetings with Tom Lockwood of Sawmill
Ridge, who owns property adjacent to Kiwanis-Hobart Park,
and who had indicated that they might be be interested in
building a golf course there and donating it to the County
since a golf course would be an enhancement to their
development. After further study, however, they have
decided this would not be financially feasible.
Commissioner Bird advised that Attorney Brandenburg has
advised that any swap of property between the County property
and Sawmill Ridge would be too difficult to execute.
Sawmill Ridge is planning to build a 27 -hole private course,
surrounded by low density homes. Mr. Lockwood has indicated
that if they could assist the County in some way in concurrently
building a course abutting their course, it would be advantageous
in obtaining lower bids from architects, etc.
Commissioner Bird stated that since they have indicated
their cooperation, he -feels that it is time to form a
_committee to do a thorough analysis of the feasibility of
building a golf course at Kiwanis-Hobart Park. It would be
part of the County recreation system, but it would be set up
as an enterprise and would have to be self sufficient. He
would like the individuals serving on the committee to take
66
a long hard look at the figures and come back to this
Commission with a well-founded summary and recommendation.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird,
SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, that the Board
authorize Commissioner Bird to head up a committee
to do a feasibility study of building a public
golf course at Kiwanis-Hobart Park.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird assured
Commissioner Lyons that inclusion of an executive course
would be considered in the development at Kiwanis-Hobart Park.
Commissioner Bird invited anyone interested in serving on
the committee to submit resumes.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
The Motion was voted on and carried
unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTY -WIDE RECREATIONAL
Commissioner Bird recommended that the County consolidate
its various recreational programs into one County -wide
program, as the various programs result in a gap of services
and, in some cases, duplication. He felt that a long-range
program should be established with County -wide funding and
reported that he had a preliminary meeting with the City of
Vero Beach about their willingness and cooperation in
studying the possibility of this as they have built a
nucleus around which we could form a County -wide program.
Commissioner Bird stated that he would like to begin by
establishing a committee made up of people within the County
who can contribute considerable expertise in recreational
matters and can conduct an independent analysis of the
67
FEB 1 1984 bid 56 ' PAU wu-
� J
FE 1 1994 56 . 8 F
County's facilities, come up with what they feel the County
should have and bring a recommendation back to the Board.
He felt that recommendation should include how we should
proceed to actually accomplish the goal. It may be that
they will come up with a negative feeling that the County
does not need a County -wide program at this point.
Commissioner Bird offered to chair such a committee,
but advised he would take a very passive part, perhaps only
as a liaison.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board
unanimously approved the formation of a
committee to conduct a feasibility study on
the consolidation of all County -wide recreational
activities into one County -wide, County -funded
program.
Commissioner Lyons expressed his eagerness for the
County to get away from separating the north county from the
south county, and be just one united county.
