Keating, AICPR REFERENCES: Planning & Development Director OEDP Com. DIS:RMK It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their special meeting of July 3, 1984. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Several months ago, the Board of County Commissioners decided to pursue designation of Indian River County as a redevelopment area under Section 401(a)(8) of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965. Since obtaining redevelopment area designation requires the formation of an OEDP committee and preparation of an Overall Economic Development Plan, the Commission subsequently approved formation of such a committee and directed staff to identify persons wi-thl in the community interested in serving on the committee. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: In response to the Commission's directive, the staff publicized the OEDP project through the local media and requested persons interested in serving on the OEDP Committee submit a letter of interest. The staff then compiled a list of interested persons and qrouped them according to the categories of representation established by the EDA for OEDP membership. According to EDA guidelines, the committee must -be representative of the commu- nity and include representatives from a number of groups. The following is a list of the groups which should have representa- tion on the OEDP committee as well ---as an indication of what group is represented by each of the individuals who have expressed an interest in the OEDP committee.

(Professor) 22 Public Health Agencies No Representative Utilities No Representative Industry No Representative Organized Labor No Representative Racial or Ethnic Minorities No Representative Local Government No Representative As noted above, several categories were not represented by the group of persons indicating an interest in serving on the OEDP committee. These include: public health agencies, organized labor, utilities, minorities, industry, and local government. In order to have a committee representative of the community's views as well as to meet EDA requirements, it will be necessary to appoint committee members representing those groups. RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends that the Board appoint members to the OEDP committee representing all groups noted above. Commissioner Bird asked where the recommended names came from, and the Administrator reported that they were solicited by advertisements, etc. We have to do them by categories and need one for each category. Commissioner Bird raised the question of whether we are required to have a certain number of nominees to choose from for each category, and it was decided to defer this item temporarily until Planning Director Keating can be present. SOUTH COUNTY AND NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICTS The Board of County Commissioners thereupon recessed at 10:10 o'clock A.M. in order that the District Board of Fire Commissioners of the South Indian River County Fire District might convene. Those Minutes are being prepared separately. The Board of County Commissioners reconvened at 10:12 o'clock A.M. and immediately recessed in order that the District Board of Fire Commissioners of the North Indian River County Fire District might convene. being prepared separately. 23 Those Minutes are JUL 3 1984 am 57 PnE 551 JUL 3 1984 BOOK 57 rn 552 The Board of County Commissioners thereupon reconvened at 10:15 o'clock A.M. with the same members present, Commis- sioner Bowman being absent. OVERALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPOINTMENTS (Contd.) Planning Director Robert Keating informed the Board that there is no set criteria as to the number of people to be appointed for each category; it is just required that you have a representative committee, which he felt would mean that we would have to have at least one for each category. Commissioner Bird asked if it is required that there be a certain number to pick from, and Director Keating stated that it is not. He noted that when staff originally brought the request to form the OEDP committee to the Board, it was suggested that it be publicized in the media. A notice was published, and the people listed in his memo of June 26th are those who have contacted the County and indicated an interest. Discussion followed regarding the appointments, and Commissioner Bird suggested that we wait until we have a full slate to pick from. Administrator Wright did not feel that we will get any more applicants, and that is why staff is looking to the Board for direction. Considerable discussion followed in regard to contracting various governmental and civic agencies for nominees, i.e., the Indian River Farm Bureau, Extension Agent Judith Wakefield, Florida Health Services, the County Health Department, the Labor Council, the Gifford and Wabasso Progressive Civic League, etc., and Chairman Scurlock announced that action on these appointments would be deferred until the next meeting after these groups can be contacted. 24 RESIGNATION FROM HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY The Board reviewed letter of resignation from Paul Bubendey, as follows: June 20, 1984 Mr. Don Scurlock, Chairman Board of County Commissioners Indian River County Administration Building 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 RE: INDIAN RIVER HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY Dear Sir: In July, 1979, I was appointed to serve a two year term on the Board of the IRHFA. This was a volunteer, non-paying function which was accepted as a civic duty. The Board completed one financing project and was inactive thereafter. When my term' expired in 1981, I assumed 'that my obli- gations had been satisfied. However', without consulting me and without advising me of its action, the County reappointed me for another term. In order to terminate this relationship I am now compelled to complete the enclosed disclosure statement before resigning. Please accept my resignation, effective at once, from the Board of the Indian River Housing Finance Authority. Your reply will be appreciated. Very truly yours, PGL Paull F. Bubendey 105 Spyglass Lane Vero Beach, Florida 32963 ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously (4-0) accepted the resignation of Paul Bubendey from the Housing Finance Authority with regret and authorized the Chairman to send Mr. Bubendey a letter of appreciation. OUT -OF -COUNTY TRAVEL - CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SEMINAR RE CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES Chairman Scurlock commented that since he has been more or less opposed to construction management for the Jail Complex, he would like to attend this seminar to see what he can learn. 25 JUL 3 194 aoox 57 F,�UrJ3 I JUL BOOK 57 [s`'r 5 ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0) authorized out -of -County travel for appropriate representatives of the County to attend the one -day workshop on Construction Management and Financing for Correctional Facilities to be held by Federal Construction Company and William R. Hough & Company in St. Petersburg, Fla., on July 20, 1984. REPORT ON NEIGHBORHOOD PARK PARCELS Attorney Brandenburg reported that the Parks & Recreation Committee has been researching these parcels to see if they can be used for any purpose, and at their last meeting they went over six different parcels which they would like to present to the Board now with their recommen- dation. The majority of these parcels are just bottom lands that were dug out for fill and are now lakes. Four of these (Old Grove Lake, Blue Crystal Lake, Clear Lake and Sunset Lake) are in Glendale Lakes Subdivision. However, in researching the plats, it appears they never were dedicated to the County. The Attorney continued that we want to make sure they are off the County records so that someone pays taxes on them and we also remove the County from any liability associated with the lakes. The Committee, therefore, is recommending that we deed them to a property owners association. Glendale Lakes does not have such an association at the present time; if they are unable to set one up within the next few months, the Attorney suggested that the County adopt and publish a Resolution indicating we have no interest in those lakes, will not maintain them, and disclaim any liability. 1 91 -1 MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, authorizing the County Attorney to deed the above lakes to the property owners association, if one is formed, and if not, to prepare a Resolution disclaiming the County's interest in said lakes. Question arose as to who would own this property in the event Glendale Lakes Subdivision did not form a property owners association, and Commissioner Lyons inquired about the possibility of subdividing these properties and adding them to the surrounding owners' lots. Attorney Brandenburg could not recommend splitting up the lakes and giving them to the abutting owners since the other people in the subdivision also feel they have a right to the lakes, and we could get into a real hornet's nest. Discussion continued as to who would own the lakes, and Chairman Scurlock felt possibly the developer. Attorney Brandenburg did not feel we would want to go on record as giving these back to the original subdivider either as he believed the people in the subdivision felt those lakes were there for their use and the developer was giving up all rights; therefore, the Attorney still recommended that the County try to give these properties back to a property owners association and disclaim any interest. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously (4-0). Attorney Brandenburg then informed the Board that there are two other parks, both of which are small lots which were dedicated to the County as parks. One is in Sunshine Quality Homes Park Subdivision and one in Fresard Glendale 27 J U L 3 1984 Boas 5 7 FA. E555 JUL 3 1994 600K 57 F,0u, 55 Subdivision. On these, the Attorney suggested that the County authorize his office to go through abandonment procedures, obtain the best title we can for these properties, and put them out to the highest and best bidder. ON MOTION BY Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commission Lyons, the Board unanimously (4-0) authorized the Attorney to proceed as described above. DISCUSSION RE DENIAL OF PISTOL PERMIT - EDWARD AYERS The Board reviewed the following letter received from Edward L. Ayers: IVER COUNTY COMMISSION- '� ca c,1�. an I DID NOT RE -APPLY for the gun permit that was.before the county commission last wednesday.I knew that I had a six month waiting period before I could re-apply.County administrator, Michael Wright,placed the gun permit request on the agenda ,totally without my knowledge and definitely without my consent.The county. administrator is trying to start something to discredit me and continue to assignate my character -just as he is credited with the the "I.R.S. investigation" story against Gene Morris.This incident has caused the reprinting of the "Biased and incomplete background • investigation"done by the current Sheriff and his Department. No where in this "so-called" background investigation did it reflect that I spent three years in combat in Vietnam, and I was highly decorated by both the Vietnam Govt.and the U.S. Army Special Forces.No where does this report show my 63 days as a Prisoner Of War in Vietnam -No where does the report show the Silver Star,Three Puple Hearts ,and Five Lesser Decorations. _ No where does the report show that Genral Westmoreland personally awarded me the Bronze Star for the saving of 23 of my fellow service men ,and for totally destroying a P.O.W. camp .No where noes -chis re 0'Vt 'i3h w"inti Was—if ea-t-edi for "Vietnam Stress•-- --- --� - Syndrome"for over a year ---The report only shows the legal probmlems I had while I was being treated ---That was seven years ago. W Anyone who does not support Tim Dobeck,is THREATNED, HARASSED,SLANDERED,and DISCREDITED with any means at his disposal ---And this is what has happened to me since I announced as a Republican Candidate for Sheriff. I know injustice when I see it ---I spent 63 intence days learning injustice ---I was taught by the world's leading and most experiencedinstructors at the time ---when I escaped that P.O.W. camp , I never thought that I would ever see injustice again..,. But ---injustice is rearing it's ugly head RIGHT HERE --- and.I sure hope that I'm wrong --- I hope the things that I see are just STUPIDITY and INCOMPETENCE in the administration of the SHERIFF';) DEPARTMENT ---either way,we need a CHANGE... I feel that I have been done a great injustice in the re-submittion of my gun permit and the re -printing of partial truths as told by my political opponet.I feel that an INVESTIGATION is in order to expose IMPROPRIETIES of some cif the County Officials and their motives. THAN: YOU Mr. Ayers appeared before the Board and confirmed that he did fill out another application which was filed in the Commission's office, but emphasized that he was told it would not come up for another six months. A couple of weeks ago, however, which is only two months later, he heard it had been put back on the agenda even though he had not asked for it to be put back on that agenda. When it did come before the Board at that time and Commissioner Wodtke moved for approval, no one seconded his Motion, and Mr. Ayers wished to have an answer as to why they did not. He noted that he has had a gun permit in this county before and sees no reason why he should be denied at this time. Administrator Wright explained that when Mr. Ayers reapplied on the same day of the original denial, he held the application and did not run it back through the regular procedure because he saw no need. The ordinance states that within 30 days following receipt of a completed application, 29 JUL 3 1984 Bm. 57 ca,E 557 JUL 31984 Boos 7 g,, 558 the County Administrator shall review same for compliance with the ordinance and make a recommendation for action at the earliest available regularly scheduled meeting. The Administrator further noted that the official record stated that Mr. Ayers could reapply "within" six months, and he did. Mr. Ayers reiterated that he did not come back in and ask for it to be put back on the agenda, and Administrator Wright explained that Mr. Ayers did not actually have to come to his office. When the reapplication was received, it was automatically reprocessed. Commissioner Wodtke commented that when Mr. Ayers application came back on the agenda from the Administrator's Office, it was with a recommendation for approval, and he made a Motion for approval based on that recommendation. Commissioner Wodtke did not believe Mr. Wright had any intention to go through anything other than the normal process. Administrator Wright wished to clarify that he did not recommend approval; he merely stated that Mr. Ayers appeared to have met the requirements of the ordinance. Commissioner Lyons believed that he was the cause for some of the confusion that has arisen. The Motion he made at the original meeting where this came up was intended to indicate that Mr. Ayers would have to wait for six months before he could reapply; however, the Minutes showed that the Motion stated that he could reapply "within" six months. Commissioner Lyons assured Mr. Ayers that there is not and there never was any intention to create any embarrassment for anyone nor was there any political motivation. Commis- sioner Lyons felt the only issue was that there are several questions on the application, which everyone is supposed to answer, that were not answered, and since Mr. Ayers knew the Kill answers and did not answer them, he felt there should be some penalty and it was supposed to be six months. Mr. Ayers believed that there has been a penalty, especially with this matter being brought up a second time and the Motion for approval dying for lack of a second. He stated that the coverage given it by the media has caused him public embarrassment and cost him in his campaign for sheriff. Commissioner Lyons noted that, although it may be hard to believe, at the time of the original refusal of a permit, he was not aware of the fact that Mr. Ayers was a candidate for Sheriff. Commissioner Bird explained that his reason for not seconding Commissioner Wodtke's Motion for approval did not have anything to do with whether this should have come to the Board before or after a six month period. He felt the responsibility the Board members have in issuing gun permits is a very serious one, and in this particular case, the fact that Mr. Ayers' past record showed some misdemeanors and a problem with alcohol, which apparently is now behind him, and also the fact that some of the problems with the law were as recent as 1983, gave him some very serious apprehensions and caused him to feel there should be a little more additional time required for Mr. Ayers to demonstrate his abilities to adhere to the law. Mr. Ayers felt he could relieve the Commissioner's hesitation. He stated that the last arrest on his record is 1976 - eight years ago, which he believed is quite a time that he has tried to be an upstanding citizen. The two violations since 1976 are both very minor items, one being a minor moving violation for improper backing, and the second because the tag ran out on his car. He was not arrested for either of these occurrences. Mr. Ayers emphasized that he is proud that he has overcome his drinking problem; that 31 JUL 31984 eooK 57 559 JUL 31984 BaoK 57 pn,Ew according to what the Administrator said, he did meet the commitment on the application when he filled it out the second time; that the second amendment to the Constitution gives everyone the right to bear arms; and that he does feel plenty of time has gone by to demonstrate his ability to be an upstanding citizen and he is asking for a permit. Commissioner Bird noted that the only information he received read that Mr. Ayers was convicted and did not state the nature of the offenses. He did realize those mentioned are minor offenses. Chairman Scurlock stated that he was under the same impression as Commissioner Bird and felt the 1983 offenses were convictions of the same type as the earlier offenses. Commissioner Bird believed, based on this new information, that Mr. Ayers had demonstrated a proper time period of rehabilitation. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke to approve the issuance of a permit to carry a concealed weapon to Edward L. Ayers. Commissioner Lyons stated that he planned to vote against the Motion on the basis that not enough time has elapsed since the questions on the application were not answered properly. Chairman Scurlock requested that Mr. Ayers explain why he had omitted the information re his convictions on his original application. Mr. Ayers confirmed that there was a reason, and it was not his intention to lie. He explained that he went through a similar situation with the State of Florida over his security license and got it straightened out and was issued his state license. When it was brought out that Mr. Wright 32 would make the recommendation to the Board, he gave Mr. Wright all these documents and an explanation as to why he did not put it on the application because he felt that same information would come back from Tallahassee when the information was checked. Chairman Scurlock commented that the state apparently did not give him any penalty situation. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried (3-1), Commissioner Lyons yoting in opposition and Commissioner Bowman being absent. DISCUSSION REGARDING JAIL OPERATIONS Chairman Scurlock informed the Board that at the seminar he attended recently in connection with the construction of the jail, he learned that there is a new emphasis on professionalism in the operation of jails. This seminar led him to believe that the new approach of having this facility operated and handled under the County Commission might be worth considering, and he has asked the Administrator to pursue this. Commissioner Lyons reported that he also was at this seminar and received the same impressions. Sheriff Tim Dobeck concurred that some good points were brought up at the seminar. He noted that the entire Commission has been very supportive of the corrections portion and law enforcement portion of his budget, and a lot of budget increases have come in because of state mandated requirements, re air conditioning, recreation, etc., The Sheriff, therefore, felt that the Commission, in a sense, has been running the Jail with his people supervising the jail population. He believed that what is being suggested 33 JUL 3 1984 nox 57 P UE561 JUL 3 19 4 EnOK 57 U i 562 would result in a more professional jail administration with a better career factor both for corrections and for law enforcement since it would provide a man with incentive to be a correctional officer rather than using his training as a correctional officer merely as a stepping stone to get into the law enforcement end. Re the actual cost for the county to take over and operate the jail, the Sheriff informed the Board that the correctional portion of his present 1983-84 budget is $759,578, and if the Sheriff's Department were to keep corrections, the new budget would be $824,808, an increase of about $65,000, or 8.590. Chairman Scurlock believed a lot of this increase is precipitated by getting to a fair salary to attract and keep the jailers, and Sheriff Dobeck confirmed that Indian River County actually has been a training ground for the Vero Beach Police Department, the Martin County Sheriff's Office, and the St. Lucie County Sheriff's office, etc. The correction's department salaries are the lowest in the four county area, and he would like to bring these salaries, after some years of experience, up within about a $2,000 range of the road deputy. Commissioner Lyons believed it is important to remember that the taxpayer is paying for the jail operation whether it is handled by the Sheriff's Department or the County Commission, and we are not talking about an increase in expense if it goes to the County Commission. Sheriff Dobeck believed there would be a very minimal changeover fee and felt the County ultimately would benefit because it takes away dual liability. Administrator Wright believed there is another benefit from a purely administrative standpoint. Right now we share a lot of responsibilities wherein the Sheriff handles the day to day activities, but we have to build the jail and provide for the facility. That is a terrific coordination 34 M problem, and there are more coordination problems when we get into the weekend work release program where we have to provide the job site and some of the supervision, when we get into medical expenses, the garden program to supplement some of the food problems at the jail, etc. We cannot give our authority to the Sheriff because we are the funding source, but he can give his to the County Commission, and the Administrator believed it will make his job easier by making it a less complicated operation. Chairman Scurlock emphasized that we are not talking about completely severing the relationship, and Sheriff Dobeck agreed, noting that corrections is an integral part of law enforcement and is not something that can ever be given away totally. Discussion ensued re the eventuality of a major disturbance arising at the jail when it is operated under the County Commission, and the Sheriff confirmed that he would most certainly send his deputies to assist in any such event. The Chairman noted that at the seminar it was brought out that they have developed professional people specifically to handle such disturbances, which are special situations. Commissioner Lyons reported that he has visited two out of three counties where the Commission runs the jails, and he really couldn't tell the difference; they seemed to be very well run jails. Sheriff Dobeck pointed out that another benefit to the public will be that the Sheriff's Department will be able to concentrate on law enforcement instead of having to concen- trate on the jail situation. With the population of the county getting to about 70,000, he believed there is a need to add to our law enforcement end. Considerable discussion followed regarding the time spent training personnel as jailers and then having them 35 JUL 3 1984 ca 7 6 UL 563 JUL 11984 Boor 5 ;�, E5 4 move out into law enforcement. Commissioner Bird felt if the County takes over this operation and gives these people some incentive to work up within the jail operation, it may help solve this problem, but he was concerned that we may have to increase the pay grade considerably to get good quality personnel and keep them. Sheriff Dobeck felt that if the Commission does decide to take over the jail and will follow the guideline for salaries which his department has prepared during the last three years, that there will be quite a number of people applying. He further believed those salaries would serve to professionalize the jail personnel. There always were some who were willing to work in the jail for $11,000 or $12,000 with the thought that within two years they would be able to get out on the road, but these people could go to school on their own and then move on with the result that the investment in their corrections training was lost. Administrator Wright agreed that the biggest problem is the constant turnover and staffing with inexperienced people. Chairman Scurlock noted that the seminar stressed the need for training since the state is going to mandate improved professional standards for jailers, and the salaries obviously will have to go up. The Chairman stated that he actually looked at this in the light of risk management since one untrained person could open us up to liability that could quickly add up to much more than the increase in salary. He believed we never will be able to go back to $10,000 a year jailers because of the possibility of millions of dollars in civil rights actions. Commissioner Bird felt that the Sheriff has indicated that the salary levels that we would be adopting if we take this on are not too far out of line, and Administrator Wright agreed that they would be in the ballpark. MUM � _ J M Commissioner Lyons also believed that it is very important to avoid, as much as possible, the growing number of civil rights suits which now arise at jails. Commissioner Bird felt that Attorney Brandenburg did indicate that if we did take on the jail administration, it would have a significant impact on his office. Attorney Brandenburg noted that the Board recently authorized him to hire another attorney, and the individual he will hire would be given the responsibility of becoming an expert in this area. He continued that another issue involved in taking over the jail is that we would be merging certain aspects of liability, and in some aspects taking on additional liabilities. As far as the physical plant is concerned, the Board currently has that liability, but the Sheriff has the liability for the day to day operational aspects. When the Board takes over the facility they will have that liability also, and possibly individually. Chairman Scurlock asked if the Board is not now included in suits regardless because we are responsible for providing the funds, and Attorney Brandenburg stated there are areas where the Sheriff would be sued now and the Commission would not be involved. When we take over the jail, we would be involved in all areas. Commissioner Wodtke discussed the operation of the jail facility and the fact that it will be understood whoever is in charge there works for Administrator Wright. He could not see that the facility is not going to continue to be used as a stepping stone for some of these people as they will be hired by other cities, etc.. but agreed it would take away the guarantee that in two years or so, they can go on the road. Commissioner Wodtke noted that he has said for years that this type of operation could be and has been run in other states by county commissions. However, it has been said counties are not in the corrections business, and he 37 JUL 3 1984 BOOK '7 ;;',E565 J U L 31994 _I Boor. '57 Pr„ � 566 had a problem with saying the County is running a correctional facility when people compare it to the facility run by the state with classrooms, etc. Possibly there is a different name for it. Administrator Wright agreed with Commissioner Wodtke, and emphasized that he has suggested that it be called anything but a correctional facility. He noted that this would be put under General Services. Commissioner Wodtke asked if this decision is made whether it would be a lasting decision or one that we can review every year or so to see if we want to keep it. Attorney Brandenburg replied that the Board is allowed to review it every year just like any other County opera- tion, and at any time, with the agreement of the Sheriff, could agree to give it back to him. The Attorney's opinion, however, was that once the Board takes over this operation, we probably would have a difficult time giving it back to a Sheriff who does not want the facility back. Sheriff Dobeck emphasized that what he is looking at is operating the facility in the most professional and economical manner for the county, and if the Commission feels after a year and a half or so that it is not working, he would be happy to take the facility back. Commissioner Bird noted that on one hand, if he is going to have the ultimate responsibility, he would like to have more direct control; however, in taking this over, he realized we are greatly increasing our liability and exposure. Administrator Wright noted that this is government's job, and right now it is split - the Sheriff has part and we have part. He strongly believed this should come under the County where the management can be more streamlined without having to balance our responsibilities with those of another department. M Commissioner Bird noted that out of all the Florida counties apparently only about five are assuming this responsibility, and Administrator Wright agreed but felt the trend is moving that way. Commissioner Wodtke made the point that the county will be more able to deal more directly with the regulatory authorities, the D.O.C. etc., re staff patterns, etc., and as far as the budget is concerned, the Coupty Commission already gets held responsible for all tax dollars spent in any event. Further, in the event we ever do get into a situation where we want to look into having a joint facility with other counties, we would be able to deal more directly. He believed it would be an easier overall plan, but agreed the liability situation always has concerned him. Commissioner Scurlock asked what authorization staff needed if the Commission decided to move ahead. Administrator Wright was not sure what the appropriate legal action would be, but stated that he would like to have the Board's consent to assume control of the jail as of October 1st. Commissioner Bird asked if it would be possible to delay one week rather than taking a final vote today as he felt the need to do a little more research before making a decision. Commissioner Lyons stated his only problem is that he would be out of town on vacation; however, he could be present on Tuesday. After further discussion, it was decided to call a Special Meeting for 9:00 A.M. Tuesday, July 10, 1984. PROPOSED PURCHASE OF R/W FOR FUTURE EXPANSION CR 512 Attorney Brandenburg reviewed the following letter from Roland Miller: . 39 ,Jug 3 1984 BOOK 57 FACE567 JUL 3 1984 Bou 57 Face 5'68 June 27, 1984 The Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and Members of the County Commission 1840 25th St. Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Re: Right -of -Way for the Expansion of County Road 512 Dear Chairman Scurlock and Members of the Board of County Commissioners: I have recently purchased from the Gulf Western Corporation what was known as the Trans Central Florida Railroad's Right -of -Way. As you are aware, a portion of this railroad right-of-way abuts i County Road 512 as the road passes through the portion of the County abutting the City of Sebastian. Yesterday I began negotiations with the County Administrator regarding the County's expansion of County Road 512 to meet future transportation needs. I have always been supportive of -the County's desire to plan properly for the roads that will be eventually needed. I have tentatively agreed with your County Administration to sell the necessary portions of the railroad right-of-way that will be - needed for expansion of County Road 512. I am willing to sell this property to the County at current appraised value. Consequently, I authorize the County to undertake appraisals of that portion of the right-of-way that the County feels it needs for furture expansion. I would suggest that the County hire two appraisers so that both the County and I feel that whatever price is determined, is a fair one. I have recently negotiated and entered into agreements with the School Board for a'portion of the right-of-way necessary for ��a, project the School Board has under a tl tt a t t 11 a. 11 UC `ia�'�` -to—work with -the Coirnty-, nd `--�-- the School Board in any way I can to make sure that the School i Board's and the County's objectives are obtained in that area. Sincerely, Roland Miller, Trustee The Attorney confirmed that the County is looking ahead for its right-of-way needs, and the 512 area is critical. Since Mr. Miller recently has acquired a large strip of property that runs adjacent to CR 512, the proposal would be for the county to move ahead now and protect that right-of-way by purchasing it from Mr. Miller, who has in- dicated his willingness to work with the county and accept the appraised value. He continued that he understood Mr. Miller would like some kind of time frame, but he would not recommend entering into a purchase agreement until we find 40 out how much the right-of-way will cost and how much we can buy. He further noted that there is no requirement under Florida law that we have two appraisals, and if Mr. Miller would agree to have just one appraisal, that would save the County some money; we could agree to choose an appraiser who would be mutually agreeable. Mr. Miller informed the Board that he would agree to Appraiser Peter Armfield, an A.M.I. appraiser of the firm of Armfield-Houck Appraisers, and Attorney Brandenburg noted that Mr. Armfield has done work for the county in the past.
