H. IRC 911 Center Construction Engineer
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/16/87:
TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DATE: APRIL 16, 1987
THRU: CHARLES P. BALCZUN
COUNTY ADMINISTRATO
FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN
COUNTY REPRESENT I OF SHERIFF'S COMPLEX
SUBJECT: INDIAN RIVER COUNTY 911 CENTER
,CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER
BACKGROUND
C. E. Block Architect, Inc., has requested authorization to use
Brabham, DeBay and Associates, Inc., of West Palm Beach, as consulting
engineers on the subject project for construction administration not
to exceed $2,500.00.
ANALYSIS
Since this is a very technical project and requires specialized
supervision, staff agrees with the request. Monies were budgeted for
this contract change.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff requests approval by the Board of County Commissioners to amend
C. E. Block's contract to allow the construction administration as
requested.
Commissioner Eggert asked if the additional engineering
charges would fall under the total amount for the 911 Center, and
Sonny Dean, County Representative of the Sheriff's Complex,
stated that he and OMB Director Joe Baird had anticipated this in
the budget.
Commissioner Eggert asked if the problem of the high costs
for the interfacing between the 911 Center and the telephone
company have been resolved, and Mr. Dean recalled that there was
some discussion a couple of weeks ago, but believed those
problems have been resolved.
Commissioner Eggert stressed that to date the Board has
never seen an entire layout of the 911 project or its budget.
Director Baird recalled that about four months ago they
included a $374,000 total cost when they came back in with the
cost estimates for the Sheriff's Building. So far, staff feels
that we are within budget.
Sheriff Tim Dobeck advised that his department provided an
itemized list sometime ago, but Commissioner Eggert felt that
might have been before the election as she did not remember
seeing it.
Sheriff Dobeck reported that they are in line with those
figures as of last week, and believed the phone bid has been sent
out.
Commissioner Eggert asked if the phone bid would cover the
cost of going into Southern Bell's wires, and Sheriff Dobeck said
it would not. He believed they estimated some $60,000 for that
substantial cost. They have applied for the 911 interfacing with
the other computer systems, but, to his knowledge, therewill not
be any extra related costs.
Director Baird pointed out that there will be two separate
telephone costs for the building, one for the Sheriff's
operation, and one for the 911 Center, which means there will be
two bids coming in.
Commissioner Eggert was still concerned about the cost of
using Southern Bell's wires, and Mr. Dean assured her that this
cost was covered in the original budget. The cover letter for
each cost item that is brought to the Board for approval includes
whether or not it was covered in the budget, and this cost was.
Commissioner Eggert requested a copy of the figures given to
the Board before she came on board last November, and Director
Baird advised he would get that information to her. According to
the Architect, we have taken under consideration all the conduits
for the telephone system and the 911 Center at this time, but he
would go back and check on the charges for going into Southern
Bell's lines.

Re: Proposed parking lot agreement between Indian River County
and First Baptist Church
Dear Mr. Balczun:
Thank you for sending me a copy of your memorandum to the Board
of County Commissioners concerning the First Baptist Church's
offer concerning the parking lot. Your recommendations concern -
10
M M M
ing the length of the lease and the periods of parking seem to ize
acceptable. It is my thought that what we should do is present
this matter to the County Commission to work out any details so
that the final lease can be worked out between the parties. As_
stated before, I think the County should make some commitment to
go ahead with the project if we are going to enter into the
lease, and that some proposed future schedule be tentatively
agreed upon.
If you agree with the above, please have this matter put on the
next agenda of the County Commission so we can discuss -it and get
closer to working out this matter, which I think is of benefit
to the taxpayers to have the use of this valuable property for
county business.
y truly yours,

Administrator Balczun advised that Public Works would like
to have this matter tabled while they refine their projected cost
figures for paving the church parking lot.
Attorney -Robert Jackson advised that the church is in the
process of long-range planning, and it seemed to him that the
cost of paving the church's parking lot certainly would be less
than purchasing and paving other land. He did not understand why
the cost of paving should have anything to do with the agreement.
Chairman Scurlock felt the problem was that our general
contingency funds are down to $373,000 for the rest of the fiscal
year.
Administrator Balczun stated that the projected cost of
paving the lot exceeds $40,000 and Public Works wants to analyze
the cost benefit of paving a parking lot a block and a half away
from the present Courthouse site when we don't know where the
future Courthouse is going to be located. In addition, staff
needs to know if the oak tree is going to come down because that
would change the per parking space cost substantially.
Chairman Scurlock felt Attorney Jackson needs an answer soon
on whether or not we are going to pave this lot, so that the
church can move along with their long-range planning.

Dear Tim:
The Phase I Jail is severely overcrowded. This situa-
tion places the Department in a position of extreme liability.
The Phase II Jail Facility is scheduled to open in July, 1987.
The Phase II Facility will not eliminate the overcrowded situation
in Phase I. Phase I has 132 Maximum/Medium custody beds. The
Phase II Facility has. 120 Minimum custody beds. As of this date,
the prisoner population that would be housed in Phase I is 115, `-
which would nearly fill the 132 beds available.
The prisoner population breakdown for today is as follows:
Pre-trial felons: 88 (54.40)
Sentenced felons 32 (17.7%)
Pre-trial misde-
meanors 26 (14.4%)
Sentenced misde-
meanors 24 (13.3%) .,-
There are 37 (20.5%) prisoners sleeping on the floor. The
total population is 180. The balance of the 1.1 Phase I beds
are being used for juveniles and the over -flow -from booking.
The ideas presented to the Commissioners in August, 1986
will not be feasible at the present time. The Department has not
been able to hire enough certified officers.to staff the mod -
units by using the Commissioners approved budget of hiring
the balance of Phase II staff in phases
The Phase I.facility was opened with DOC's approval on staff-
ing where non -certified officers would only work with 'certifLed
:officers. The current staffing level for Phase I is a.total of
40 people. The current staffing level for Phase II is 22 people.
There.:are eight vacancies. There are eightnon-*certified officers
employed.
Three officers just graduated CTI school on March 13, 1987.
I feel that Phase I will need a minimum of six additional officers
to operate safely. The D.O.C. will not make the offical rec-
ommendation until their next inspection. I feel that D.O.C.
will not allow Phase II to open if it requires understaffing
Phase I. Four vacancies can not be filled until April, 1987 as
stipulated by the County Commissioners. The required training
time is nine weeks. The above situation can delay the opening
of the Phase II facility.

I am making the following recommendations:
1. Allow the four April positions to be made available
immediately
2. Create six Phase I positions for inside security
Officers
3. Create two Phase I positions for visitation/outside
guarding details
4. Be prepared to hire three Control Room operators.
This single post is now being staffed by two posi-
tions. I have not been able to determine if this
situation is caused by overcrowding.
5. Immediately begin the construction process for Phase
III. It would appear that this facility will need
to be for Maximum/Medimum custody prisoners
6. Hire the consultants for planning the.expansions of
food service, medical services, and booking area.
The above listed facilities are too small now or
will soon be inadequate.

RE: 11 additional positions for
Phase I
Dear Tim:
We are currently operating Phase I with a total of
39 staff plus 11 certified Phase II officers and supplement-
ing these positions with the non -certified Phase II staff.
For approximately 3 years the 39 staff level for Phase
I has been in question as to whether this is an adequate
number of officers to staff Phase I.
14
T
Indian River County Administrator, Mike Wright,made an
agreement with D.O.C. to increase staffing levels once Phase I
opened, and there was a need for additional staff members.
The National Institute of Corrections has just completed
a staffing guide for Rockdale County, Georgia, which irs.,the
same design as our Phase I facility. Their staffing analysis
would require 45 people, minus cooks and nurses.
Without the additional 11 positions the Inside Security
officer for "B" building does not have anyone to assist him
in an emergency, i.e., fights, riots, flooding, fires, all
of which.we have experienced in the last three (3) weeks.
The' Booking _ officer and Shift `Supervisor cannot act as
back-up'due to the fact that "I" and "J".Units in Building
A are'at.maximum capacity.
The Control Room operator is so busy from 8:00am till
8:00pm in the afternoon , that officers cannot move from
one area of the jail to another without 'lengthy delays. -
It is difficult for arresting officers to get their
prisoners in the facility in a timely fashion, and profes-
sional visitors (attorneys, bondsmen) are having to wait
for an extended periods of time in the downstairs lobby.
To accommodate visitation and recreation times, the
Booking Officers are having to be used. This means that the
20 inmates held in A Building are without any direct super-
vision 7 to 8 hours per day.
We cannot use the Inside Security Officer for these
details because of the jeopardy of having one Inside Sec-
urity Officer in B Building.
We are not able to perform several functions that D.O.C,.
requires for the prisoners, such as: indoor recreation, work
programs.
I have been informed by D.O.C. that they will not issue
a Certificate of Occupancy for Phase II if it means understaff-
ing Phase I.
Other functions are being delayed at the present time due
to inadequate staffing such as taking prisoners to the
doctor, preparing prisoners for court appearances, feeding
prisoners on time.
15
APR 2 8 1987 aooK 6 1 r1�L a
RPR 2 1987 aooK E r
Therefore I recommend the immediate hiring of the 11
positions so that they may be trained and certified by the
July 1987 anticipated opening date for Phase II.
The new positions would be:
INSIDE SECURITY OFFICER 6
CONTROL ROOM OPERATOR 3
VISITATION and RECREATION 2
OFFICER
I
During the past few weeks we have narrowly averted sev-
eral very dangerous and libelous situations that were potential
life threatening to staff members and to prisoners.
Without the bonus of 11 Phase II Officers, we would not
have been able to control the riots, fire, and malfunctioning
doors, much less the fights.
On several occasions we're having to pay officers over-
time just to conduct recreation time and to prepare for court
days when there are large numbers of prisoners being moved.
There are times when someone calls in sick, that the
staffing is so close that another officer has to be called
in to work overtime.
It is urgent that we fill these positions immediately,
as it takes the Department over two and a half (2 1/2) months
to get an officer through CTI School, and we have approximately
2 1/2 to 3 months prior to the opening of Phase II.
I would classify this as an emergency request.
16
Sheriff Dobeck explained that back when the administration
of the Jail was under the County Commission, it was his under-
standing that former County Administrator Michael Wright and
Capt. Bill Baird reached a tentative agreement with the
Department of Corrections that upon completion of Phase 11, it
would be necessary to add additional staff to Phase i in order to
bring the staffing level to standard requirements. He believed
that Doug Wright of Emergency Management, who was working for the
State at that time, sat in on that discussion. Today's request
is for i1 additional staff members. Presently, the population
of Phase 1 is 188, with 47 people sleeping on the floor. At the
time the above memo was written, Phase I housed 88 pre-trial
felons, 32 semi -felons, 26 pre-trial misdemeanors, and 24
sentenced misdemeanors. Sheriff Dobeck requested the ',Board to
provide 6 inside security officers, 3 control room officers, and
2 officers for visitation and recreation.
Chairman Scurlock was concerned about how we got to this
point because he remembered that when we had the Jail designed,
we looked very specifically at the required staffing levels since
we realized that it is the operating costs for these facilities
that kill you, not the initial construction. He remembered very
clearly that when Mike Wright returned from meeting with the DOC
in Tallahassee, he had a letter in hand stating that the
appropriate staffing was 39 persons. In fact, there has been
some recent correspondence which indicates that number is still
at 39, which differs significantly from what we are hearing
today. If we add 11 additional people for Phase i, each at
$25,000 a year with fringe benefits, we are talking about
$89,000, which is only for the balance of the budget year. That
figure would more than double for fiscal year 1987-88. The
Chairman wondered why the DOC would agree to 39 if that number
really is not sufficient.
Sheriff Dobeck advised that he had not seen any

to Tallahassee to question those figures. An analysis done by
the National Institute of Corrections on a jail facility similar
to ours in Rockdale County, Georgia, indicated that a staff of 45
would be needed.
Commissioner Bird understood that the 39 figure was based on
full occupancy which is 143, but if Phase I is overcrowded, he
could see some justification in the need for additional people.
Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that they have the extra
people now; however, they are going to move those people out when
they open Phase Il, which will leave a shortfall for Phase I.
The Sheriff emphasized that the DOC will not allow us to
open Phase If if Phase I is not properly staffed.
Commissioner Bird felt that the issue is more complex than
the number of staff DOC will allow us to get by with, because the
safety of the Sheriff's staff is at stake. He understood that if
Phase If was open now, based on today's jail population, we would
have enough beds for the maximum security and minimum security
prisoners, but there would not be a whole lot of room for
expansion.
The Sheriff stated that we would not have enough room for
the felons, and Chairman Scurlock stressed that is the reason why
we are going ahead immediately with Phase III.
Capt. Bill Baird, Administrator of the Indian River County
Jail, explained that the original jail design called for 72
staff, but that figure changed when the size of the project was
reduced by one third. At that time we asked the consultants to
prepare a microscopic analysis of staffing levels; however, that
analysis did not take into account the officers needed for
transportation or recreation, but included only the number of
staff needed for control. The number of staff was based on a
perfect situation basis and that is the way it was presented to
the DOC. He recalled that the gentleman who approved it had very
grave concerns about the inside security control officer in
Building B, in addition to transportation and some of the outside
guard activities. The DOC went ahead and approved it,at 39,
provided that we could live with 39 once we occupied the Jail.
If we found that number inadequate, then we would go back to the
DOC.
Capt. Baird pointed out that when you add the backup for
that controller in Bldg. B, it actually comes to 5.4 persons
because the position is for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The
balance of the additional staff needed is due to the
overcrowding.
Chairman Scurlock felt we got hustled by Michael Wright and
the DOC in their negotiations on staffing levels.
Chairman Scurlock was handed the following letter dated
3-24-87 written to former County Administrator Michael Wright:

Chairman Scurlock pointed out that the only change is that
the Sheriff's Department has taken back the administration of the
Jail, and the officers needed for transportation were included in
the Sheriff's staff as opposed to the Jail staff.
Sheriff Dobeck stressed that transportation covers taking
the persons to and from the Courthouse, doctor, dentist, etc.
Commissioner Bird felt it was unbelievable the way this
staffing requirement keeps growing after all the steps we have
taken to eliminate the overcrowding.

Chairman Scurlock pointed out that the contingencies are
very low to carry us through until the end of the budget year,
and -the Sheriff stated that if there was any way he could do it
on his present budget, he would. However, they also feel they
have been taken advantage of through some of the requirements
established by the DOC, not only here in this county, but
statewide.
Commissioner Bird asked if we need to take a look at the
alternative of farming out the food and medical service, rather
than handling it in-house, and Captain Baird explained that the
jail in Georgia is using a contract food service and is satisfied
with the situation; however, that particular jail has a different
makeup of prisoners in that there are fewer felons. In addition,
Georgia is not mandated for medical staff as we are in Florida.
Chairman Scurlock noted that Mike Galanis of the Health
Department has advised that they are entering into a contract to
have a private.physician over there, and felt some of those
services could be included in this budget year.
Commissioner Wheeler wanted to address the noise level in
Phase I before Phase 11 is opened, because the noise is
deafening.
Chairman Scurlock recalled that the Architect agreed that he
would remedy the situation and be financially responsible for
correcting the noise level in Phase I.
Sheriff Dobeck reported that the last word from the
Architect is that the matter is under study, which means that
when they pull out 6 months down the road, all we can ask is why
didn't they fix it.
Chairman Scurlock suggested that we advise the Architect
that he would not be the Architect on Phase 111 unless they
complete Phase I properly.
Commissioner Bird asked if we had any retainage left on
Phase 1, and Director Baird advised that we are holding four
bills from the Architect at present.

Chairman Scurlock asked the Board to authorize him, as
Chairman, to write a letter to the Architect, indicating that we
are unhappy about the noise level in Phase I and that if this
problem is not remedied, it would be an impediment to their being
selected as the Architect on Phase Ill.
Mr. Dean advised that he wrote the Architect last week
asking them to give us some data to show that the design met the
acoustical specifications of the DOC at the time the facility was
started, and they responded last Friday that they are working on
Wand will have some information on it sometime this week or
next week. He pointed out that the DOC has been putting a lot of
emphasis on acoustical problems, not only in this county, but all
over the state.
Chairman Scurlock understood that at this time the Architect
does not know whether their acoustical specs met the design
criteria of the State.
Commissioner Bird asked if there were any other
circumstances that were unremedied.
Commissioner Eggert asked about the plumbing facilities and
whether the.housing standards conform to applicable HRS rules, as
it seemed to her that is part of the Architect's job.
Commissioner Bowman was concerned about the amount of water
being used out there, and the Sheriff advised that problem has
been resolved, and confirmed that they do use water -saving shower
heads.
Director Baird wondered if the 11 additional staff members
could be phased in and thereby keep the expense down for this
fiscal year, and Sheriff Dobeck agreed that would be feasible.
Chairman Scurlock felt we better take extreme care when
designing Phase III so that we don't get into this situation
again. He pointed out that correctional officers are getting
paid more than road deputies, and pointed out that in Florida
road deputies are returning to correctional jobs because of the
higher salaries. Despite this, he felt the Sheriff is going to
have a difficult time finding certified correctional officers.
22
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized
the Sheriff to hire 11 new people who are to be
phased in at an amount not to exceed $70,000 in this
fiscal year, with the understanding that the Sheriff
will come back with budget amendments as he does the
hiring; funding to come from the general fund
contingencies.
Former Commissioner Pat Lyons recalled that he was present
at some of the meetings with the DOC and felt the State looked at
the theoretical minimum since this was a brand new jail which
might require more than 39 staff members in the future. The
point is that they would not let us operate with less than 39.
However, he believed that our new Jail is a very efficient
operation.
Sheriff Dobeck asked for the Board's direction on how to
budget for utilities and maintenance of the Jail for fiscal year
1987-88, and Chairman Scurlock said he would like to see them
cost allocate everything either to the Jail or to Building 8
Grounds because when budget time arrives and the community wants
to know where we are spending the money, we can go right to it.
Director Baird explained that Building & Grounds have people
on their payroll who handle the Sheriff's maintenance, but the
utility bills for the Jail are paid out of the Sheriff's budget.
Public Works Director Jim Davis noted that his division is
in the process of preparing the budget for Building & Grounds for
fiscal year 1987-88, and the way that department is currently
operating is confusing. He would like to have the costs totally
segregated so that all of the Jail maintenance and utilities are
brought under that budget in order to have a true cost
accounting. Director Davis felt the transition could be made for
this fiscal year, because everything that is presently under the
23 �
BOOK
APR 2 F 1`9I
APR 2 8 1987 Boos 68 ma
Building & Grounds budget for the Jail can simply be eliminated,
and transferred over to the line items on the Jail budget.
Director Baird understood that only one salary would be
transferred, but Chairman Scurlock felt that staff could work out
the details and bring it back to the Board if some action is
needed.
PROCLAMATION - TOMMY THOMAS' RETIREMENT
Chairman Scurlock read the following proclamation aloud:
P R 0 C L A N, A T I 0 N

ROCKRIDGE_SEWER PROJECT
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4122187:
TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMM;! IO ERS DATE: APRIL 22, 1987
THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO
DIRECTOR OF UTILI S S
FROM: ERNESTINE W. WILLIAMS Ct—,V
MANAGER OF PROJECT ADMINISTRATION
DIVISION OF UTILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT:.`I,,ROCKRIDGE SEWER PROJECT
BACKGROUND -
The Division of Utility Services is in the process of obtaining
federal funding for the Rockridge Sewer Project. In order to be
eligible, the County must design the engineering of the project.
--We have held a public hearing on the project and have also received a
budget proposal from Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) in the amount of
$122,600 to perform the necessary work. The estimated construction
work amounts to $1,720,000.
Initial funding, until accepted, will come from impact fees.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Division of Utility Services requests authorization
to proceed with design and necessary paperwork to complete process for
federal funding.
Ruth Chapman, 1450 5th Avenue, stated that the residents of
Rockridge are very much aware that they need sewer service, and
wish to thank all the Commissioners for attending the meeting
last week. Mrs. Chapman emphasized that there are many elderly
people in Rockridge living on Social Security and fixed incomes
who would like to pay their share of the cost over an extended
period of time and at the lowest possible interest rate.
Utilities Director Terry Pinto reported that the proposal
for a sewer project in Rockridge was very well received. In
order to continue the process for federal funding, we need to
proceed with the actual design of the system. Staff is
requesting that the Board approve the negotiated fee schedule
submitted by Camp Dresser & McKee for the design of this project.
He explained that CDM was chosen for this project because of
26
L_�]
A
their familiarity of working with EPA projects. Director Pinto
stressed that this is a long-term commitment in that we won't see
construction until the end of 1988 or maybe later. He was
confident that the project will be funded, and felt there is a
possibility that it will be funded at a higher percentage than
first anticipated; however, he did not want to get any hopes up
until the actual commitment is signed. Staff would like to move
ahead as quickly as possible on this project, but there will be
other things that will have to be brought back to the Board as
they go along.
With regard to the residents' request for long-term
payments, Director Pinto advised that they are going to look very
hard at doing a long-term assessment for this project and go out
for bonding, and that will be discussed in-house.
Chairman Scurlock wanted it made emphatically clear that the
design of the.system will be determined by what is the most cost
effective system, and that this is a requirement for obtaining a
grant. After analysis, it was determined that a low pressure
system would be best. There are some residents in the area who
feel more comfortable with a conventional gravity sewer, but that
is just not the most cost effective system. At this point we
are looking at an expenditure of $122,600 for engineering
services, and he felt that if the Board votes for this design
today, it would be a commitment to go ahead with the project,
because he could not see spending that kind of money and then
turning around at a later date and deciding not to do the project
just because some people don't it. Chairman Scurlock further
believed that if the Board approves the design today, it is a
commitment to do a special assessment, and, if necessary, do it
on an involuntary basis. So far, we have had excellent
participation from Rockridge and we have not had any real
negatives, but times change and because of the length of the
project and because it actually will not be constructed for
another 2 years, he felt that we should be firm in our commitment
to moving ahead and doing the project.

OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
REQUEST FOR RESOLUTION TO ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT
DISTRICT PROTESTING A WELL PERMIT APPLICATION BY BENT PINE
UTILITIES CO.
Utilities Director Terry Pinto explained that Bent Pine
Utilities has asked the St. Johns River Water Management District
to approve the construction of a third well, which would be
28
located very close to their property line and the County's
proposed effluent irrigation fields. Staff is recommending that
the -Board pass a Resolution stating that Indian River County
opposes the issuance of a permit for the well, and follow through
with whatever is necessary to block the issuance of the permit.
Bent Pine's permit application states that there is no need for
additional consumptive water, but they are asking to put in this
standby well to assure future service as they are projecting that
750 homes will be built in the Bent Pines area in the next 7
years. Director Pinto believed that someone has a wonderful
dream to think that is going to happen in that short of time.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution 87-40 to the St. Johns River Water
Management District protesting a well permit
application by Bent Pine Utilities Co.
Commissioner Bird asked if we have any inkling as to why we
seem to be having a problem with this particular utility.
Although it might be his imagination, it seemed to him that they
are trying to get back at us for some reason.
Director Pinto did not understand what the problem is, but
explained that we are willing to include a condition in our
permit application on the irrigation system, that would assure
them that if there is ever any interference with their wells, we
will move their wells or take whatever steps are necessary to
correct the situation. Further, we are looking at running County
water into that area.
Chairman Scurlock felt that part of the problem is that the
owner lives in Texas and is not really aware of what is
happening. He believed it has something to do with the County
not exercising our option to acquire their water and sewer
franchise.

Director Pinto advised that he has been unsuccessful in
trying to contact Mr. Campbell, who is the owner of this utility,
but would be more than happy to sit down and talk with him about
their concerns. He stressed that this action by Bent Pines has
stopped the Gifford wastewater project dead in its tracks, and we
have to consider the health and welfare of the Gifford community,
which has been trying to gain a wastewater system ever since
1972.
Attorney Vitunac advised that the attorney for Bent Pines
did not show up for a meeting last week, but another meeting with
them has been scheduled for this afternoon. They will not tell
us anything over the phone.
Commissioner Bowman felt their attorneys may be getting
mixed signals from Texas.
RESOLUTION NO. 87-40 -
A RESOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY TO THE ST.
JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PROTESTING A
WELL PERMIT APPLICATION BY BENT PINE UTILITIES CO.
WHEREAS, Indian River County operates wastewater _
treatment facilities and is in the process of accepting a
Farmers Home Administration loan of some $9.2 million
dollars to expand and modernize the wastewater facilities;
and
WHEREAS, as part of this expansion it is necessary for
the County to properly dispose of highly treated effluent;
and
WHEREAS, the County has entered into an effluent
disposal agreement with Hawk's Nest Associates, Ltd. for the
disposal of this highly treated effluent for reuse as
irrigation water on an existing golf course; and
30
WHEREAS, the Hawk's Nest Golf Course is Located
Immediately east of and contiguous to the service territory
for Bent Pine Utilities Co.; and
WHEREAS, Bent Pine Utilities Co. has applied for a
potable water well to be located within approximately 150
feet of the common property line between Bent Pine's
development and the Hawk's Nest Golf Course; and
WHEREAS, the County objects to the siting of this well
since its proximity to the Hawk's Nest golf course may be
used to prohibit, restrict, or prevent the reuse of this
highly treated effluent on the Hawk's Nest Golf Course;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that the
Board respectfully registers its opposition to a grant of a
permit by the St. Johns River Water Management District to
Bent Pine Utilities Co. for the construction of a potable
water well near the property boundary with Hawk's Nest Golf
Course which would prohibit in any way, the reuse of its
highly treated effluent for irrigation of all or any part of
the Hawk's Next golf course.
The foregoing resolution was offered by Commissioner
Eggert who moved its adoption. The motion was seconded by -

The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4122/87:

FROM: Charle Vitunac, County Attorney
DATE: April 22, 1987
RE: AGENDA - BCC MEETING 4/28/87
COUNTY ATTORNEY'S MATTERS
TRI -COUNTY COUNCIL OF LOCAL GOUTS.
The attached letter from Attorney Daniel S. McIntyre _
expresses a strong desire on the part of St. Lucie County
for Indian River County to readdress its earlier position
concerning execution of the attached Interlocal Agreement
with St. Lucie and Martin Counties. As I had previously
indicated if the Board is concerned only about being
assessed against its will for costs of the Council, I
believe that the proposed document would allow the County to
withdraw from the Council rather than pay any assessment it
objected to.
I am placing this matter before the County Commission for an
indication from the Board as to how it wishes.to proceed.
Attorney Vitunac explained that this is the same agreement
that the Board rejected previously because it had provisions for
assessments against the County.
Commissioner Eggert still objected to funding the Council
because she felt it would give it too much status, and Chairman
Scurlock agreed.
Commissioner Bird did not feel totally comfortable with
funding it, but believed that the overall good of the council
outweighs this single negative aspect.
Commissioner Bowman pointed out that they have not assessed
anything yet.
Commissioner Eggert felt the whole thing could be done
without signing an agreement such as this, but Commissioner Bird
felt it would look strange if we were the only County that did
32
not want to agree to an assessment. He understood the whole idea
of the Council is to cooperate and work together.
. Commissioner Eggert's Motion for the Board not to sign the
agreement failed for lack of a Second.
A MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, to sign the proposed Interlocal
Agreement, failed on a vote of 2-3, Commissioners
Scurlock, Wheeler and Eggert dissenting.
Commissioner Wheeler did not understand why they could not
go back and eliminate the funding provision in the agreement.
Commissioner Bowman suggested that we write a letter
explaining our concerns about the funding provision in,Section 6,
but Commissioner Eggert emphasized that we already have sent such
a letter.
Commissioner Eggert wished to delete Section 6 in its
entirety, but Attorney Vitunac advised that he could respond
saying that the Board will sign it without Section 6, or say that
the County will not pay any assessment unless it agrees to it in
advance.
Commissioner Wheeler felt we would be saying the same thing
all over again.
Chairman Scurlock believed that all,,,the Commissioners are
willing to participate in mutual dialogue with other counties,
but he, for one, did not want to see the Council get to be a
formal structure with annual funding and its own lobbyists.
Commissioner Eggert stressed that when you add money, you
add power.
The Commissioners agreed to convey their comments to
Attorney Vitunac after the meeting so he could write another
letter expressing our concerns about the funding of the Council.

NORTH BEACH ASSOCIATES, LTD. - CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
REQUIRED ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/22/87:
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
DATE: April 22, 1987
SUBJECT: North Beach Associates, Ltd. - Contract for
Construction of Required Road Improvements
FROM: Bruce Barkett{
Assistant County Attorney
In November, 1984 the Board of County Commissioners entered
into a contract with North Beach Associates, Ltd. whereby
the Board agreed to and did pass Resolution 84-34,
abandoning a 35 -foot right-of-way located on the west side
of S.R. AIA, 1/2 mile north of C.R. 510, and terminating at
the east right-of-way line of Jungle Trail. In return,
North Beach Associates, Ltd. agreed to convey to the County
for road right-of-way purposes a 60 -foot right-of-way (as
depicted on the attached deed and survev) and to construct a
paved 24 -foot wide public road in accordance with County
road construction standards on the right-of-way. The
contract was secured by a $50,000.00 performance bond.
North Beach Associates, Ltd. has assigned its rights under
the contract with the County to The Broadview Savings and
Loan Company, subject to and conditioned upon the approval
of Indian River County.
The Broadview Savings and Loan Company hereby requests that
Indian River County:
1. Approve the assignment of contract from North Beach --
Associates, Ltd. to The Broadview Savings and Loan Company.
2. Approve Broadview's request for an extension of time to
complete the road improvements on or before May 23, 1990.
This would be a 3 -year extension of time.
3. Accept an irrevocable standby. letter of credit No.
SBM -1559 issued by the Florida National Bank in Miami,
Florida in the amount of $50,000.00 in lieu of their
performance bond submitted by North Beach Associates, Ltd.,
and upon acceptance of the letter of credit, to release said
performance bond.
The letter of credit submitted has a 1 -year duration.
Broadview has indicated that the bank will not issue a
letter of credit for greater than one year; however. it has
indicated that it will send notification to.the County 60
days_ prior to expiration that the- letter:is about to expire
and .that 'it either has -.or has not .been'.renewed. This will
give the County sufficient time to drainr on the letter of
credit if necessary.
It is recommended that. the .Board approve the assignment of
contract to The Broadview. Savings. .'.and : Loan Company;
authorize the Chairman to sign: the amendment of the contract
to extend the -time for completi.orl unti.l.May 23 1990; accept

Chairman Scurlock felt the bottom line is that we want a
3 -year letter of credit to coincide with the 3 -year extension
date, but Attorney Barkett pointed out that in his 2 years with
the County he has never been able to convince a bank to issue a
letter of credit for more than a year at a time because they are
not willing to commit the funds for that long.
Attorney Vitunac didn't believe this would be a problem
because we can call the letter within 60 days if they don't renew
it, and Chairman Scurlock said that was fine as long as they
understand that is what would happen.
Dick Cook, consultant to Broadview Savings 6 Loan,
understood that in a rare situation a bank might refuse to extend
the letter of credit; however, they do have a CD on deposit with
the bank, and it is automatically renewable the same as a CD. In
addition, they have agreed to notify both Broadview and Indian
River.>County in the event they would not renew the letter of
credit and would do so 60 days prior to the expiration date.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved
the assignment of contract to The Broadview Savings and
Loan Company; authorized the Chairman to sign the
amendment of the contract to extend the time for
completion until May 23, 1990; accepted the irrevocable
letter of credit submitted by The Broadview Savings and
Loan Company, subject to the condition that we receive
a guaranty from Broadview and from the issuing bank
that we will receive the 60 days' notice as set out in
the amendment to the letter of credit; and released the
performance bond submitted by North Beach Associates,

Fellsmere City Council Utilit;es
Fellmiere, Fla. 32948 Finance
The Fellsmere Library wishes to approach you in the
interest of the Library. As you know the Fellsmere Library is
a wonderful old building whose potential is not being put to its
maxm= capacity. The Sebastian River Library has graciously
Offered to start a Summer program for children with films, etc.
Mrs. Walsh, Sebastian River Librarian will be more than willing
to provide the implements we need for these projects. All these
things are in the first planning stages.
Also in the future consideration will be'made for adult
readers there are many of our Winter visitors who would frequent
the Library in greater.numbers; if we had the appropriate books.
There is a proposal to extend the Library time to 20 lours
Per week - including two evening hours. Of course we need to know
the extent to which the City Council is willing to help in implement-
ing this program. We also need to know at this time whether the City
Council would consider helping by maintaining the outside of the
building, grounds, etc., etc.
40
The Fellsmere Library Association will be leasing the Library
to the Indian River county Library Ccmunission for the sum of $1.00 per
year. They would prefer to have a five year lease. The Fellsmere
Library Association would still maintain control.
We tope you will consider this request favorably. It will
certainly be an asset to the co=mmity of Fellsmere expecially since
many have expressed -a desire to volunteer in the Winter months to
keep the Library open.
Sincerely,
Libiary Association
Mary L. Carter
President
cc - Mrs. Carolyn Eggar
Mrs. Lynn Walsh
Commissioner Eggert requested the Board's conceptual support
of the Sebastian Library giving Fellsmere the books that they do
not have room enough to store and assisting in a summer program
for children with films, etc. Fellsmere is desperately in need
of more books. Basically, Lynn Walsh has the money in her budget
right now to cover this cost for the remainder of the fiscal year
due to the fact that some budgeted funds for a mobile unit were
not used. The cost for an entire year would be $17,000, and Mrs.
Walsh feels that if she were given approximately the same budget
for next year, she could handle it.
Chairman Scurlock said he was for it.
Commissioner Eggert added that the next thing the Board
needs to do is notify Administrator Balczun to authorize the
hiring of a part-time person for Fellsmere, which is budgeted in
Sebastian's present budget.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously granted
conceptual approval of the proposal of the Fellsmere
Library Association, with the understanding that
further details would be brought back to the Board.

TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL - COMPREHENSIVE REGIONAL
POLICY PLAN
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/20/87:
TO: Fellow Commissioners DATE: April 20 1987 FILE:
SUBJECT:
TCRPC Comprehensive
Regional Policy Plan
FROM: Carolyn K. Eggert,,4f, REFERENCES:
Commissioner C
Bob Keating has made the following comments on several policies
that we should be concerned about:
"I do have minor concerns with several policies. These are:
1. Page 208, Policy 8.1.1..9 - changed in wording but
not intent based on my original comment. I have
no problem with the policy itself - except that
it's absolute. Many activities (including a single
septic tank) will degrade a water resource.
2. Page 234, Policy 8.1.1.4 - This policy could affect
sand pumping.
3. Page 243, Policy 9.2.1.4(llc) - This is a policy
which the BCC did not like when TCRPC made it'
applicable to Grand Harbor.
4 Page 247 & 248, Policy 9.3.2.1 - This policy would
probably not allow the County to provide water or
wastewater services to the north barrier island.
5. Pages 327, 328, & 329, Policies 16.1.1.1 and 16.1.2.1 -
I don't think that urban service areas need to have
solid waste collection. Some of the other criteria of
urban service uses (e.g., school system, social
services, etc.) are available everywhere - not just.
urban service areas."
Please study for consideration when: it comes on the agenda. I
.imagine Maggy Bowman will bring more . comments .'f rom. -the April 20
meeting. 'also. _
Commissioner Eggert wished to see the Board support Director
Keating's recommendations on these various items.
42
M M M
Chairman Scurlock realized the importance of our compliance
with the Regional Planning Council's new plan in terms of our
infrastructure and what it does to us, but felt we need to
monitor it. He believed this is more important than what it
seems, because it is sort of going along quietly. He stressed
it will have dramatic impact on us, and he just wanted to make
sure that this document does not invade our existing Comp Plan,
which is a good, conservative plan.
Commissioner Eggert was especially concerned about a policy
listed under #4, which might prevent wastewater services to the
north barrier island.
Commissioner Bird felt this document is tremendously
important to us and relies heavily on Commissioners Eggert and
Bowman sitting on the Council to look after our interests, in
addition to the review by Director Keating and staff. He just
hoped that we.are doing a thorough review on it and are making
the necessary commitments so that it will be a document we can
live with.
Chairman Scurlock pointed out that Item #2 states "the
lowest acceptable quality water shall be used to meet nonpotable
water demands", and Commissioner Bird felt that could be raw
sewage.
Chairman Scurlock stressed that it also could be very high
in chlorides.
Attorney Vitunac advised that the DER would determine what
is acceptable.
Commissioner Eggert noted that many of the things included
in the document are wonderful, but will take a lot of work.
There will be 2 more public hearings on the plan, but the
comments have to be sent in now. In order to have our comments
carry more weight, she would like to see the Board endorse the
above comments and send them on to the Council.
