The Board of County Commissioners gave preliminary approval
for the purchasing department to replace our 10 year old
IBM 5215 Computer Tenninal with a combination Micro Computer/

Purchasing had anticipated purchasing this item from State
Contract #600-900-87-1. This Contract will officially expire
on September 14,-1988. The special prices granted under this
contract will no longer be.available after that date. Purchasing
oust therefore, issue a purchase order before September 14, 1988,
to take advantage of these prides. With your approval I have
issued this purchase order.
Because of long delivery times, this item will not be received
before Oct. 15, 1988. I have taken the precaution of making this
purchase order subject to cancellation until Oct. 5, 1988. Should
the BCC desire to cut this item Erten our budget.
2. ALTERIOTIWS AND ANALYSIS:
Purchasing can cancel this item"befojce_0ct.,5, 1:988°and do a
fonml sealed bid after final budget approval.. There is no guarantee
that we will be able to secure the same price schedules that
were available on State Contract. The cost of a formal bid will
add about l0% to this item if that is necessary.
3. ON:
Staff recommends that we proceed with this purchase subject to
cancellation before Oct. 15, 1988.
Commissioner Eggert felt that the Board had already given
approval for the purchase of this item and wondered why there is
even a question about it.
Acting Administrator Collins advised that his understanding
was that we had preliminary approval for the item but not final
approval. They want to place the order, and because of the time
frame involved, they wanted to be sure they were able to exercise
our right of cancellation in the event the Board did not want to
proceed with the purchase.
Purchasing Manager Ambler advised that this is for the
budget starting October 1st.
Chairman Scurlock noted that State Contracts are annual, and
he has been led to believe there has been some problem in getting
things on State Contract in that we have been delaying and
placing items so late that we have had trouble getting them.
Purchasing Manager Ambler confirmed that they have hada lot
of trouble this year with vehicles - a lot of orders were placed
in March and April, and it caused a problem. He is trying to
address that problem and would like to move as quickly as
possible on the vehicles this year.

DATE: Sept -ember 16, 1988
RE: Budget Amendment #64 for Environmental Control
Board
The Environmental- Control Board has had an Increased
number of large code violations. Because of this there has
been considerably.. more revenues and expenses than were
anticipated in 1987/88 fiscal year. The revenues to date
have been 19,760.00 which is almost ten times the
anticipated revenue.
We are requesting the Environmental Control budget be
Increased. The- majority of the increase In expenditures
will be In the area of.p-rofessionai services for items such
as subpoenas, recording' fees, legal fees, court reporters
etc. The Health Department may reimburse us for some of the
legal fees; however, this cannot be guaranteed. Due to the
on going and current outstanding obligations we need to do
this Budget amendment immediately.

Dear Mr. Scurlock:
rinance �=
Other
We, as owners of the property located 'at -860 20th Avenue, Vero
Beach, Indian- River County, r Florida,- are requesting .to be
placed on the agenda for. the regularly scheduled: County
Commission meeting set for August 23, 1988, for the purpose of
discussion with the County Commissioners the possibility of an
interim plan relative to the traffic condition at the inter-
section of 8th Street and 20th Avenue.
If the Commissioners will recall, at your regularly scheduled
meeting on April 23, 1987, the Commission approved a special
exception for a day care center to be located at 860 20th
Avenue, conditioned upon the fact that final construction
approval would not be granted until the County installed a
traffic light and turn lanes at the intersection of 8th Street
and 20th Avenue. As of this date, the engineering for the
traffic light and turn lanes has been almost completed and the
money has been set aside for this project; however, some time
still exists until the signalization project is completed.
We have employed the firm of Beindorf and Associates who has a
traffic engineer in their employee for the purpose of reviewing
the- County's traffic studies and suggesting potential
alternatives which would meet the standards set forth by the
County. Ordinances relative to traffic. The traffic engineer
has concluded that a four way stop sign installation would meet
the County's traffic standards. This interim four way stop
installation at the corner of 8th Street and 20th Avenue could
be in effect until such time as the signalization and turn lane
project are actually completed. If this proposed plan of
action is approved by the County Commissioners, we would agree
to bear the cost of the installation of the signs, and any
other costs related thereto. We have: -.briefed Jim Davis and
Stan Boling concerning this matter and our approach to meet the
requirements of the County Ordinances and enhance the public
safety of the subject intersection.
We are enclosing, for the County Commissioner's review, the
report which we have obtained from the traffic engineer. We
would appreciate an opportunity to discuss this situation with
the County. Commissioners at your August 23, 1988 meeting. We
would appreciate.. your advising us of the agenda on which we
will be placed.
Yours truly,
Wil'il Mind Jane Mills

760 20th Avenue, Vero Beach, Florida 32960, (407) 778.5783, I.ic. In Process
Acting Administrator Collins advised that this item was put
on the agenda by the Transportation Planning Committee, and he
had a concern with it because the letter of request from Mr.
Mills is proposing a 4 -way stop although the Special Exception
was conditioned on the C.O. not being granted until such time as
a signal light and turn lanes were installed. Under our Code, an
applicant has 30 days to appeal any decision, and no appeal was
taken therefore, his concern wa.s.;that we don't set a precedent
whereby people can come back and get a second chance to appeal
that they aren't entitled to under our Code. Mr. Collins.noted
that_, he just wished to let the Board know what his concerns were;
although, he does not have them so much any more since he has
been told he was in error on some of these points.
Engineer Dean Luethje of Carter and Associates, informed the
Board that'his firm did the engineering on the site plan for the
Mills and he had thought they had things pretty well worked out
until this morning when he was just told that the Motion in the
Minutes of the meeting of May 19, 1987, stated that before C.O.,
the Level of Service of "C" had to be obtained, and apparently it
was written - i.e., traffic signal and turn lanes. He asked
Commissioner Wheeler if that was his recollection of the Motion.
Commissioner Wheeler commented that the Minutes were not as
specific as they could be. He listened to the tape this morning,
and in that meeting he stated that the C.O. should not be issued
until a 3 phase light and turning lanes were in place.
Commissioner Eggert confirmed that was her memory of what
was required also.
Commissioner Bird quoted the actual wording of the Motion
from the meeting of May 19, 1987, as follows:
"MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, to approve the special exception use
requested by Mary Jane Mills with the condition that
prior to the issuance of a C.O., improvements be made
to the intersection that raise the level of service of
the intersection to an acceptable standard, i.e.,
turning lanes, traffic signal, etc.
SEP 2 0 1988 15
mer 71,�',E - �
Commissioner Wheeler commented that he actually never men-
tioned level of service in the Motion. He simply said he would
make the Motion and vote for it based on the stipulation that the
light and turning lanes were in place.
Chairman Scurlock believed there was a recommendation from
our Traffic Engineer not to put a 4 -way stop there.
Mr. Luethje agreed that Traffic Engineer. Orr did make that
statement. He advised the Board that, along with Mr, Mills,
Carter and Associates retained a traffic engineer from Kimley-
Horn, who made a study and went in front of the Transportation
Planning Committee and showed them on a technical basis that it
would be an acceptable interim measure to put the 4 -way stop sign
there. Mr. Luethje felt it is to the County's benefit to do that
at this particular time from a liability standpoint irregardless
of what happens to the child care.center. He admitted that he
did not go back to the Minutes and check them; he had just
thought if the requirements of the ordinance for a Level of
Service "C" were met, it would be acceptable.
Commissioner Wheeler noted that when the Commission approves
a Special Exception, we can put in specific conditions, and he
put those two conditions in the Motion.
Commissioner Eggert believed there was a very strong feeling
about having a 4 -way stop sign there. She personally felt
strongly about 4 -way stops, and as someone who drives in that
area frequently, she did not feel that is a good place to have
one. She noted that the weeds need to be cut down on that
corner, especially to the west.
Discussion ensued as to how far we are from having a traffic
light at that intersection, and Public Works Director Davis
believed the final engineering plans are being put together this
week, but it is hard to tell how long it will take us to acquire
the R/W and accomplish the utilities relocation. He hoped to be
under contract by the first of the year, and then the actual
improvements will take 60-90 days.
SEP 20 1988 16 Boa 74 raO�F 3100
Chairman Scurlock had a procedural question. We had to have
a public hearing and send out notices on the original application
for the special exception, which did pass (he wished to note that
he did vote against it), and he wondered if we should send out
the same notices again if Mr. Wheeler is contemplating changing
the conditions of the Special Exception.
Commissioner Wheeler emphasized that he had no intention of
changing his position.
Commissioner Bird noted that he also had reviewed the
Minutes and the tape, and he had not remembered how strongly he
spoke in favor of a traffic light. He felt, in fairness to the
people who attended the meeting, he could not change his position
on that at this point; though, in fairness to the people at the
children's center, he had not realized that it would take this
long to get the intersection improvements done.
Public Works Director Davis informed the Board that the hold
up is that the engineering companies have been tied up with other
work.
Engineer Luethje interjected that Kimley-Horn did go through
a considerable amount of work making their study of the intersec-
tion and he would like to have Engineer Tony Trammel address the
Board about why he feels the 4 -way stop sign should be there.
Chairman Scurlock wished to know if we did put in a 4 -way
stop whether it would meet the requirements of the Special
Exception and the intent of the tape, and County Attorney Vitunac
advised that the original Motion said that a C.O. could not be
Issued until improvements were made to the intersection to
improve it to a certain level of service, i.e., turning lanes,
traffic signal, etc. - "i.e." meaning "that is" and not "for
example;" so, those two items had to be there to meet that
condition, and they aren't there.
Chairman Scurlock noted that, therefore, the item for
discussion is just a 4 -way stop and we are off the subject of the
17 BOOK 74 PA,GE 301
site plan.and Special Exception, which have nothing to do with
that.
It was agreed that the Board would listen to Mr. Trammel's
presentation on that basis.
Engineer Tony Trammel of Kimley-Horn came before the Board
and advised that he has about 15 years of municipal traffic
engineering experience. His firm was requested to examine this
location and see what of a technical nature should be provided
He noted that 4 -way stops are not universally accepted or
rejected; they have to meet certain criteria. They examined this
location based on traffic volumes and accident analysis. Mr.
Trammel emphasized that there is no question that there should be
a signal at this location; the question is when will it be
installed and whatshouldbe done in the interim. This inter-
section has a very.high preponderance of right angle coil-ision.s.
If it had 4 -way stops, it might have the same number of accidents
but not -as many right angle collisions which cause the more
serious injuries. He stressed that a 4 -way stop is an interim
solution for that period of time between when a signal is
warranted and needed and when it is operational; so, it is an
acceptable method to solve this problem from the standpoint of
reducing the number of accidents and injuries. Mr. Trammel noted
that in his 15 years as a traffic engineer, he has recommended
only three 4 -way stops; this is not something he is recommending
lightly. He pointed out that there are two other 4 -way stops in
this general area - one at 20th Avenue and 4th Street and one at
Dixie Highway and 4th Street - both of which seem to work very
well, and he reiterated that he did feel that a 4 -way stop is an
appropriate device for an interim measure.
rd
Commissioner Eggert commented that what frustrates her about
a 4 -way stop in this area is that people do not seem to know how
to react the way they should and politely take their turn letting
the one to the right go first.
SEP 20 1988 ' 8 Roos 7 F. E:3041
Chairman Scurlock asked about having some sort of caution
signal instead of a 4 -way stop, but Engineer Trammel advised that
there is a existing flashing beacon there now, and when you look
at the number and the severity of the accidents, it has'not
solved the problem.
Commissioner Wheeler noted that the right angle accidents
here are generally off the southbound 20th Avenue, not so much
off the northbound and he felt possibly there is some other way
to correct that intersection.
Mr. Trammel confirmed there is an offset jog in the north/
south alignment.there and a utility pole in the NW quadrant of
the intersection, but he still felt the accidents seem to be
fairly equally distributed.
Public Works Director Davis believed the Collision Diagrams
in the back-up material demonstrate clearly that the accident
rates have declined at this intersection since we removed the
shrubbery.
Commissioner Wheeler asked if this accident rate is out of
line with other similar intersections, and Director Davis stated
that it is not. He further advised that in order to have a 4 -way
stop, the traffic volumes on both roads should be fairly equal.
This is about 60/40; if the deviation were any greater than that,
we would not even consider it for a 4 -way stop.
Commissioner Bird noted that the Mills have gone to a lot of
trouble retaining these engineers, feeling that if they can bring
this intersection up to an acceptable level of service, it would
satisfy the requirements, but the Minutes and the tape of the
meeting are so specific about a traffic signal and turn lanes
that he did not feel he can go along with a 4 -way stop to satisfy
those requirements. He noted that the Transportation Planning
Committee has recommended we install a 4 -way stop regardless of
whether or not the Child Care Center gets approval to proceed,
and he wondered if we should consider going ahead with the 4 -way
stop without allowing the child care center to open.
E P 2 0 1988 ' 9

Commissioner Eggert continued to express her opposition to
4 -way stops.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman for purposes of discussion, not to
put a 4 -way stop at the corner of 20th Avenue and 8th
Street.
William Koolage,17yr.resident of the area, spoke strongly in
favor of having a 4 -way stop and also of lowering the speed limit
on 8th Street. He pointed out that speed limit on 8th Street is
45 mph along its length, which he felt is an unacceptable limit
on that street. He also noted that 45 mph to the average driver
in the county does not mean that, and the people going west on
8th Street go much faster than 45. Regardless of the petition.
for the child care.center, he felt the least the Commission can
do for traffic safety in that area is put in a 4 -way stop there
and also bring the speed limit down to 35 mph on 8th Street.
Director Davis reported that basically there are two ways to
establish a speed limit in Florida - (1) the statutory speed, and
(2) by shooting the prevailing speeds of the vehicles using that
corridor with a radar gun to establish a percentile you can
establish above and beyond the statutory speed. He advised that
we plan on doing that once the improvements and signalization is
up there because to-do that now and then go in and make the
improvements, you would simply have to change it all over again,
and it is not good to change those things often. He noted that
the reason for the traffic speed on 8th Street it that it is a
more rural section as you get outside the City. Director Davis
informed the Board that the radar gun showed 41 mph as the
prevailing speed on 8th Street, and he advised that they are
recommending in favor of a 4 -way stop because it is an effective
interim solution prior to the signal going up, and it will get
people used to stopping on 8th Street. Also, there is a
SEP 2 0 1988 20
BOOK 74 F.ti,U 304
substantial percentage of right angle collisions that can be
corrected by the 4 -way stop. He believed the 4 -way stop is
working well on 20th Avenue and 4th Street.
Commissioner Bird noted that although he is basically
opposed to 4 -way stops, he has a hard time sitting here and
voting against one when the people whose opinion he respects,
tells him that it would make the intersection safer.
Commissioner Wheeler stated that he also is opposed to 4 -way
stops, but he Likes the idea that it will accustom the people
using that intersection to stopping there.
Commissioner Bowman did not like 4 -way stops either, but she
felt after you put up the warning signs that you are going to
have a 4 -way stop and then implement it, if we could put
policemen there during the heavy traffic hours, possibly we could
educate people in the county as to how a 4 -way stop is supposed
to operate. She did not believe it is well understood.
Commissioner Eggert agreed that it is not, and she felt
strongly that there are some other things that we can do at that
corner. The vegetation growth must be kept down, and it isn't
being done.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION on the Motion
to deny a 4 -way stop.
It was voted on and failed 2 to 3, with Commissioners
Bird, Bowman and Wheeler voting in opposition.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commis-
sioner Bird, Commissioner Eggert and Chairman Scurlock
voting in opposition, the Board by a 3 to 2 vote approved
putting a temporary 4 -way stop at the intersection of
8th St. and 20th Avenue.

1. DESCRIPTION Am rnmTTIONS:
Brad O'Keefe our Chief Operator, Indian River Water Plant,
has requested that we waive bidding on Reverse Osmosis
Membranes. These membranes will cost the County approximately
$36,000.00. His justification is that time is of the essence
in this purchase in order to prevent damage to existing mem-
branes. (memo attached)_ -
A formal bid will take 4 to 6 weeks to administer plus 2 to
3 weeks for delivery after that.
2. ALTERNATIVES AMID ANALYSIS:
Purchasing procedures allow for bids to be waived if an emergency
exists (procedures 2b -d) or if in the best judgement of the
County Administrator "it would be feasible to negotiate rather
then bid."
Two options exist: Bid or Waive Bidding.
3. FUNDING:
Purchasing has received a budget approved requisition.
4. RIDATION:
Staff recommends that bidding be waived and we be authorized to
proceed to purchase.
Bill McCain of the Utilities staff confirmed that we have
quite a few membranes that are failing, and we need to get new
membranes in immediately.

Chairman Scurlock questioned the emergency nature of this
that it can't wait a week to get on the agenda, and Mr. McCain
advised that we are looking at a substantial capacity reduction
if the membranes start to fail.
The Chairman did not have a problem with not going to
bidding, but he did not see why we get ourselves in such an
emergency situation that seven days makes a difference.
Mr. -McCain believed this item initially had been prepared to
go on the agenda today, and he did not know why it missed it.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by_Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously added
consideration of negotiating for Reverse Osmosis
Membranes to the Agenda as an emergency item.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-

by staff and authorized negotiating and proceeding

Acting Administrator Collins wished to further emphasize the
importance of items being submitted in time to make the agenda,
and Board members concurred.

SUBJECT: BOTTLE CLUB AND ADULT ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS ORDINANCE
DATE: September 7, 1988
It is requested that the information contained herein be given
formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
their regular meeting of September 20, 1988.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The -Staff of the Planning Department is submitting a request to
amend various sections of. the County Code dealing with places
where alcohol is consumed and establishments where adult enter-
tainment is provided.
Pursuant to public concern, -.the staff has researched two specific
types of uses not currently covered under County Code; those are
bottle clubs and adult entertainment businesses. Currently, only
one bottle club exists in the unincorporated portions of Indian
River County; no adult entertainment businesses have yet been
established.
On August 25, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval'of this request as presented
herein.
Bottle Clubs
At present, the staff treats bottle clubs as a use similar"to an
eating or drinking establishment, more specifically that of a bar
or lounge. However, a closer examination of bottle clubs shows
that they actually fall into a gray area. Though they, like bars
and lounges, are places where alcoholic beverages are consumed
on-site, great differences exist. Bottle clubs are not normally
open to the general public, are not limited in hours of operation
established under state law, are not actually governed under
state law, and they do not require- a liquor license since no
alcohol is actually sold to patrons. The patrons provide their
own alcoholic beverages, while the bottle club only sells the
ice, non-alcoholic beverages (mixers), and provides other
materials necessary for the preparation of an alcoholic cocktail
to be consumed on site.
Due to the many differences between bottle clubs and bars and
lounges, especially the fact that bottle clubs are not regulated
by alcoholic beverage laws, this use falls between bars and
lounges and social clubs.
Social clubs fall under the category of civic and social member-
ship clubs such as the Moose Lodge, the Elk Lodge, or the Knights
of Columbus. These uses are permitted in several commercial
districts, including the MED, Medical District, where bars and
lounges are not a permitted use. Currently, bars and lounges are
permitted in the CL, Limited Commercial, district as a special
exception use and in the CG, General Commercial, district as a
permitted use.
EP 2® 1988 25
S BOOR 74 r,,u399
Adult Entertainment Businesses
Adult entertainment businesses include such uses as adult book-
stores, adult theaters and mini -theaters, adult arcades, and
other similar uses. In, general, these uses are not open to. the
general public, since state law prohibits their use by minors.
However, under current county code, no differentiation is made
between uses such as bookstores and adult bookstores. Therefore,
if a request were made to locate an adult bookstore in a MED or
CL district, the County would be required to approve it. How-
ever, the impact of an adult entertainment business, such as a
bookstore, differs highly from that of its bookstore counterpart
open to the general public.
Nudity Where Alcohol is Consumed
During its review of bottle clubs, the staff reviewed County
codes dealing with nudity in places where alcohol is consumed.
It was found that even though nudity is prohibited in
establishments where alcohol is sold for on-site consumption, it
is not prohibited where alcohol is consumed on the premises but
not sold by the establishment. Therefore, it is. currently
possible to have a topless bottle club, since no alcohol. is sold
on the premises, but is consumed there.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Staff has. reviewed the _referenced uses to determine their
potential impacts. on surrounding properties and on the County as
a whole. Even though no.adult entertainment uses currently exist
in the County; there is, A-. need to enact regulations controlling
future proposals for establishing adult uses. The attached
report documents the adverse impacts caused by adult uses in
other communities and assesses the potential for such impacts to
occur in Indian River County if an adult entertainment business
were to be established. This analysis provides the basis and
justification for establishing adult entertainment regulations.
Besides adult uses, bottle clubs are also addressed in this item.
Two issues, in particular warrant•concern..with respect to bottle
clubs. First, there is a need to clarify the definition of
bottle clubs and to set location criteria for the use Second,
there is a need to ensure that bottle clubs adhere to.the same
regulations as establishments with alcoholic -beverage licenses.
Adult Entertainment Businesses
As the basis for establishing adult entertainment business
regulations, the staff reviewed studies, conducted for and by
various municipalities, which address the impacts of adult
entertainment businesses on areas in which they are located.
Based upon this analysis, the staff prepared the attached report
on adult entertainment uses. Basically, the report documents the
adverse impacts which can be attributed to adult entertainment
uses; these include increased crime, decreased property values,
and increased encroachment by outside traffic. It also
establishes that, when adult businesses are permitted to group
together, the adverse impacts are compounded.
The attached report also addresses the various legal issues
involved with the regulation of adult uses. Based upon the
potential impacts of adult uses, the legal issues involved, and
the experience of other jurisdictions, the report outlines
several regulatory options for handling adult uses. Generally,
the alternatives are dispersal versus concentration and land use
regulation versus permitting. Based upon the analysis provided
in the report, the staff's position is that adult uses should be
limited to certain zoning districts and subject to specified
separation distances.

bottle clubs. However,
bottle clubs are not
operation and liquor
major adverse impacts
Without control on hours of operation, a bottle club could.
conceivably operate throughout the night. This results in late
night traffic flows, late night lighting of parking areas, and
late night noise. When these activities occur during normal
sleeping hours, such activities can have a substantial impact on
adjacent residential areas. Because of their. operational
characteristics and the absence of regulation on them, bottle
clubs can have a tendency to disrupt areas in other ways,
including a higher number of intoxicated patrons and higher
incidences of disruptive behavior. For those reasons, it is
staff's opinion that bottle clubs should be regulated by setting
hours, of operation, limiting locations, and setting separation
distances..
Alcohol and Nudity
Bottle clubs are not currently regulated under the County laws
pertaining to nudity in places where alcohol is sold for on-site
consumption. Bottle clubs could, in effect, become adult enter-
tainment places where alcohol can be consumed. This is contrary
to -the--spirit and intent of the current County ordinance. As
explained .in the*attached. adult entertainment report, this use
tends to impact. crime, -property values, and traffic. When these
impacts are combined with the potential problems identical with
bottle clubs, this'coiild: result in adverse effects upon the
community. Staff's opinion. is.: that places where" alcohol is
consumed should be subject to the same regulations that.currently
govern nudity in places where alcohol is sold for on-site
consumption.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has prepared three sets of proposed -regulations.
Adult Businesses
The first set deals with control of adult businesses. It places
them in the IL, Light. Industrial, and IG, General Industrial
districts. In general, these districts are the most removed from
residential areas and from more retail oriented commercial areas.
This will minimize impacts on adjacent residential areas.
Further, the criteria establish a 1000 ft. separation from other
adult businesses to disperse impacts, and from residential areas,
churches, schools, parks and playgrounds to protect those uses.
Bottle Clubs
The regulations for bottle clubs place this use in areas more
removed from residences, those being the CG, General Commercial,
and CH, Heavy Commercial districts. It also establishes adequate
buffering and separation distances. The separation distance of
1000 feet from other bottle clubs will minimize and disperse
impacts. The separation from churches, schools, parks and
playgrounds is similar to that required of other uses where
alcohol is consumed on-site. Additionally, hours of operation
have been set to minimize the impacts on adjacent residential
uses.
Alcohol and Nudity
Staff recommends that Chapter 2-3 dealing with nudity in places
where alcohol is sold for on-site consumption be amended to
include establishments where alcohol is consumed on-site.
Staff recommends the approval of these ordinance amendments.

Chairman Scurlock stated that his concern with bottle clubs
is that they can just get some storeroom type structure basically
to set up their operation very inexpensively and circumvent our
established hours of operation. He wondered if the County could
pass an ordinance to license bottle clubs.
Planning Director Keating advised that licensing is one
means -other jurisdictions have used to control these types of
uses. Staff, however, felt that zoning limitations, separation
distances and restriction to certain districts, was probably a
better way.
The -Chairman believed that licensing could be another aspect
beyond meeting those certain requirements, and Commissioner
Wheeler also felt it would be easier if we could just revoke
their license for a violation rather than having to go through
all the hearings just to fine them, and then be ignored.
Chairman Scurlock stated that he would like to pursue
researching licensing as an additional vehicle beyond saying
where these establishments can exist.
Attorney Vitunac believed we then would have to set up a
licensing division, and discussion continued at length about the
advantages of licensing, how it could be done, etc.
Commissioner Bowman wished to know if licensing could be
included in this ordinance and was informed it would have to be
separate.
Director Keating agreed that the advantage of the revocation
of a license is that it would give the county the ability to go
out and actually stop them from operating as opposed to Code
Enforcement action, which just has the ability to fine them.
Commissioner Bird felt Attorney Vitunac will have to place
us on solid legal grounds as to what we can license and what we
can't, and Attorney Vitunac felt it would be similar to the
occupational license for fortune tellers who are singled out from
the general group and have to meet certain tests.

Staff Planner Nearing informed the Board that staff looked
at ordinances dealing with this problem not only from Florida
municipalities, but also from Dallas, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona;
Los Angeles, etc., and staff felt what they put together was a
good ordinance that doesn't overstep what the courts consider to
be our limits.
Discussion then ensued as to just where these type estab-
lishments can be located, and Planner Nearing, referring to the.
map, advised that adult entertainment establishments could be
located basically at the I-95/CR 512 node the U.S.I/510 node;
the Winter Beach node the Lindsey Road node; and Lindsey Road at
U.S.I; south of South Gifford Road near the Airport; and the
1-951SR60 Node and Oslo at 74th Ave. Bottle Clubs could be in a.
broader area, and it is very difficult to show just where -they
could be established.
Chairman Scurlock believed we can control the bottleclubs
by passing an ordinance to limit their hours the same as bars,
and Director Keating advised that the Board could change this
ordinance to limit the hours.
Staff Planner Nearing wished to point out a change staff
would Like to make under definitions on Page 10 of the proposed
ordinance. He advised that the definition under the Adult
personal service business now refers to "a person of one
sex...... providing personal services for a person of the other
sex......." It was felt this definition is not broad enough, and
that it should be changed to read "a person ......... providing
.
personal services for another person," and remove all reference
to another sex.
Commissioner Eggert commented that on page 11 of the
ordinance, still under definitions, c.3.(a) - the word "frotage"
should be spelled "frottage."
Chairman Scurlock wished to know what we need to do to
change the language to make the operating hours for bottle clubs
the same as those established for bars.

Planner Nearing advised that Page 7 of the ordinance sets
the hours of operation for a bottle club from 7:00 A.M. to 1:00
A.M. where a bottle club is located adjacent to a residential
zoning district, and we could just eliminate the the language
regarding being located adjacent to a residential zoning
district.
Commissioner Bird did not want to sound like a proponent for
Bottle Clubs, but he noted that there is a certain segment of our
community, those who work odd hours on different shifts, who do
enjoy the hours a bottle club can provide.
Commissioner Wheeler felt the problem is that we do have a
1:00 A.M. closing hour for bars, and he believed this is simply a
way to get around that law.
Commissioner Bird did agree they seem to abuse that
privilege, but he was just saying that if they were properly run,
there would be a certain segment of our community that would
enjoy them. However, they have been misused; so, it seems we
will have to limit them.
Commissioner Wheeler believed that -bars have certain
controls through licensing, etc., and he felt bottle clubs should
be controlled the same way.
Commissioner Bowman objected to the use of the word
"cocktails" in the ordinance, and felt it should just refer to
"alcoholic beverages."
Commissioner Bird commented that right now he felt we have a
model county without adult bookstores, so-called adult entertain-
ment businesses, etc., and he did not believe we want those kind
of things. We are told that by law we can't prohibit them, but
he would like to prohibit them as much as we possibly can.
Commissioner Eggert advised that the reason she asked this
amendment be pursued in the first place is that a realtor told
her that there was someone looking for property to put in an
adult book store.

Chairman Scurlock asked how this would affect the video
stores, and Planner Nearing explained that in our definition we
use the standard of 1120% stock in trade's or 1120% of gross
receipts," and if we could establish that a video store was
exceeding either of those standards, they would classify as an
adult business.
The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard.
There were none.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously adopted
Ordinance 88-43 amending the Zoning Code re the
establishment of Bottle Clubs and Adult Entertain-
ment Facilities, etc., in certain districts with
the various changes discussed - the limitation of
the hours for Bottle Clubs; the elimination of the
words "of one sex" under the definition of Adult
Personal Service Business; correct the spelling of
"frottage;" and use the phrase "alcoholic beverages"
rather than "cocktails."

SALARY SURVEY IMPLEMENTATION
Acting Administrator Collins reviewed his memo, as follows:
oar o County ep em er 14. 1983
T�: Commissioners DATE: FILE:
SUBJECT: SALARY STUDY
IMPLEMENTATION
FROM: William G. Collins, 11 REFERENCES:
Acting County Administrator
BACKGROUND
The highest priority matter assigned to me as I stepped into the position of
Acting County Administrator was the implementation of the salary study
prepared by Towers,. Perrin, Forster 6 Crosby ( TPF E C) . The study
evaluated each job classification in the County in terms of a number of
different factors, each of which was given a different weight. The intent
apparently was to quantify the relative worth of different job classifications
within the County system. The results of this objective quantification were
necessarily. affected by the level of detail which each employee put into their
job description and was without qualitative *,checks as to self-aggrandizement
and puffery. Because the- outcome . was totally numerical based on the formula
into which. the weighted- factors were inputted, some curious results occurred
in terms of relative classifications.
In my opinion the salary study is useful (although it clearly has some
imperfections) for the vast majority of our non-exempt employees and
laborers, that is, hourly rate employees. The study has serious shortcomings
with respect to its evaluation of exempt and administrative employees,-
especially
mployees,especially in the top 30 to 50 positions in the County. The results of `the
salary survey for the top administrative and professional employees within the
County system were checked against the market -by sending salary surveys to
nearby local governments. We received -responses in varying degrees of
completeness from Brevard County,. Palm -Bay;, St. Lucie County, Martin
County, Palm Beach County, and Port St. Lucie. The high, Mow and average
salaries for each of these jurisdictions was averaged in order to determine a
market range for administrative and professional salaries in this vicinity.
Once this market information was determined, it was compared to our existing
salary structure for top administrative and professional employees. The
greatest disparities from our market survey were for the Community
Development Director, who was substantially underpaid according to the
market, and the Personnel Director and Emergency Management Services
Director whose market salary range was � substantially lower than that
indicated in the salary survey.
The top administrative and professional positions in the County organizational
chart were plugged into salary ranges based on market results, and the bulk
of the approximately 500 County employees were given salary adjustments to
reflect full implementation of the salary survey recommendations. Some
necessary adjustments were

as rapidly as in the early years when an employee is learning their job and
becoming more productive.
RESULTS
Having decided on the methodology to be used in implementing the salary
survey, that is utilizing the proposed ranges from the salary survey, with
modifications to place people properly within their proposed ranges based on
seniority, and with modifications for the top 30 to 50 administrative and
professional employees based on market, I then generated the necessary
calculations for each employee.
Being mindful of the strong possibility that full implementation of a new
salary program would not be possible, due to budgetary constraints,
determined the following priorities for salary survey implementation.
Priorities:
1. Raises to bring the employee to the minimum of their salary range,
and then properly place them in the range based on seniority.
Z. For employees already starting at a pay level within their proposed
salary range, apply seniority factors to properly place them within
their proposed range, or give them a 5% salary adjustment,
whichever is greater.
3. Those employees presently -within their proper range, but earning
more than proper seniority. placement would warrant, receive a 5%
adjustment. (Salary .adjustments are. warranted for the.. following
reasons: A. 5% approximately tracks the national inflation rate;
B. Salary increases nationwide have been approximately 50 this
year; C. The salary survey data itself was compiled in November
of 1987, hence it is approximately a year out of date already.)
4. Those employees presently above their range maximum, or who will
be above the range maximum with a 5% salary adjustment.
I had hoped that if we ran into budgetary constraints_ I -could utilize these
priorities in implementing the more - warranted 'salary adjustments.
Unfortunately, priority 1 implementation represented- about 75 percentage of
the total cost of full implementation; therefore the priorities . established were
not the effective budgeting tool that I had hoped they would be.
I .discussed my preliminary calculations as to the fiscal requirements to.
implement the salary survey with Budget Director Joe Baird. Our preliminary
review indicates that the budgeted funds for fiscal year 1988/89 will be
short of the total funds necessary to implement the salary survey.
RECOMMENDATION
feel that it is very important to implement the salary survey at the time the
new fiscal year begins October 1st (in fact, because County pay periods end
on a Thursday, I would recommend implementing a new salary plan effective
Friday, September 30, 1988 in order to avoid the need for 500 plus manual
check adjustments that would be required if we had one day of a pay period
under our present salary structure and the other 9 days of the pay period
under a new salary structure to be implemented pursuant to the salary
study.) My discussions with department heads and division heads in the first
week upon assuming the position of Acting County Administrator clearly
demonstrated to me that some implementation of the salary study was
imperative to employee moral. Inquiries in the hallway from scores of
employees confirmed that point. There is a general impression among
employees that salary studies come, and salary studies go, but they are
never implemented so that employees never reap the benefits of a salary
adjustment. It is clear that implementation of the salary survey would result
in at least 5% increases for each employee and in some cases result in
substantial upward adjustments of salary, which adjustments would reflect
both seniority and merit according to the salary survey and the job market
itself. As stated above full implementation is not possible within the
33
SEP 2 0 1988 BOOK 74 P, 1317
constraints of our budget for fiscal year 88/89. Therefore, I wish the Board
to consider the following alternatives:
Alternative 1 - Implement the salary survey with each employee having
an across the board markdown to reflect the budgetary limits. Thus, if
an employee would be projected to have a $2,000 raise under full
implementation of the salary survey, but the budget could only fund a
90% implementation of the salary survey, then that employee would
receive an $1,800 rather than a $2,000 raise.
Alternative 2 - Place some maximum limits on employee raises for this
fiscal year. For example, no employee would receive a raise in an
amount greater than $5,000 and/or greater than 30% of their current
salary. (There are some employees who will have substantial increases
in pay under the full implementation of the salary survey. It is my
belief that many of these large increases are fully warranted. In the
event an employee recommended for a large increase is not benefited by
full implementation of the salary survey, then raises greater than $5,000
a year or 300 of their _current salary should be assured in FY89/90 so
that the final phase of their recommended increases will be phased in by
the next fiscal year. Such delay in phasing in their salary increases
should not adversely affect whatever cost of living adjustments other
employees might be granted a year from now.
Alternative 3 - Give the Acting County Administrator the authority to
work with the Budget Director in an attempt to make -adjustments to the
salary survey on an equitable basis in an attempt at full implementation
of the study -recommendations. I believe that there are some glaring
inequities in :the salary. study that warrant adjustments which may yield
a good share of the -deficit. in. our currently budgeted revenues. For
example, many library workers were shown as warranting $7,500 -
$12,000 increases. Such raises would place the pay for the various
library job classifications approximately $5,000 to $10,000 higher than
their respective counterparts in the St. Lucie County Library System.
Such raises would also place virtually all library workers in a position
where they would be making more than any other county employees save
for department heads, division heads, and top professional personnel. I
suspect that substantial savings can be affected by making adjustments
to the salary survey recommendations for library workers, while still
granting those workers substantial increases which make their pay scales
more than competitive with nearby counties. _ Also,. there are several
positions included within the salary survey which positions are not truly
county employees. For instance, several persons shown on .the salary
survey such as Housing Authority and Rental Assistance workers are not
technically county employees but their pay checks are processed through
the County payroll system. It should be up to the Housing Authority
Board to determine whether or not to give their own employees rate
increases or not. The same situation may apply to certain employees in
the Soil Conservation Service, Agricultural Extension Office, etc.
If my calculations can be reiterated to reflect what I consider to be
equitable adjustments and to correct glaring salary study defects, then I
believe the salary survey recommendations may be able to be fully
implemented with minimal resort to alternatives 1 or 2 above.
CONCLUSION
I recommend that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Acting
County Administrator to work with the Budget Director to make equitable
adjustments and recalculations necessary to fully implement the salary survey.
Should such adjustments not allow full implementation of the salary survey
under current budgetary constraints, then the Board should authorize the
Acting County Administrator and Budget Director to proceed with Alternative
2, phasing in the largest of the salary increases over a two year period.
Across the board cuts should be implemented as last resort because of their
disproportionate affect on the lowest salaried workers. The Board should
authorize the implementation of the new salary scheduled effective as of the
pay period beginning September 30, 1988.

Chairman Scurlock wished to compliment Mr. Collins on.the
time and effort he has spent on this and wished him to understand
any comments the Commission may make are not criticism, but just
constructive input.
Commissioners Eggert and Wheeler added their commendations.
Acting Administrator Collins expressed his appreciation, but
noted that unfortunately, even with all the work, we do not
necessarily have a perfect product and there are still adjust-
ments to be made. He emphasized, however, the importance of
taking some action now as he felt the worst thing we could do at
this point is put the study back on the shelf and fine tune it
for another year. Mr. Collins clarified that what is proposed
does give each county employee at least a 5% raise for this year,
and it does give raises to those people the salary survey
identified as being significantly underpaid.
Commissioner Eggert asked the appeal process for someone who
feels they are in the wrong classification.
Acting Administrator Collins stated that this has been
handled unevenly up to now. There were -approximately 120 people
who appealed their classification, and the Personnel Department
reviewed and analyzed whether there was or wasn't merit to those
appeals. if there was merit, we have made the adjustments and
incorporated that into this pay plan. The problem is that
certain departments were told that no appeals would be enter-
tained until after the survey was implemented, and that is really
not fair. All we can do, however, is ask any employee who feels
their classification is incorrect to submit a request for
re-evaluation, process it through their department head, and we
will have the department head meet with Personnel and re-evaluate
these as we can. If there does need to be a correction, we will
make it in the next fiscal year or if there are some funds
available because someone quits, possibly we can accomplish it
this year. Acting Administrator Collins noted that we can't
entertain every appeal right now; we have to draw the line
35

somewhere, but we must do something. and if it isn't totally
fair, we will let people appeal after October 1st and then
process it. He continued that he asked OMB Director Baird to
give some idea of the financial impact of the proposed implemen-
tation. We do have some problems, especially with the MSTU
funds, and that fund largely.finances Community Development which
is one of the areas; in need of the greatest adjustment They are
turning into,a training ground and then losing people simply
because we are not paying competitive wages.
OMB Director Baird noted that the Board has been given.
information setting out salary increases by fund. In state law
we have to budget by fund. The health insurance is broken out

Director Baird noted that the Board at budget gave him a
contingency balance for salaries; in some funds we have no
problem at all and some we do. He advised that he has done his
calculations as if the county were picking up the entire cost of
the insurance increase. The most complicated fund to handle is
the General Fund because there are other Constitutional Officers
within that fund. If we implemented the salary increase in that
fund without the cap, we would be $48,958 short. In the MSTU,
the Planning Department was substantially underpaid; we had
people with Master's Degrees being paid $18,000; so, we plugged
around 8% in for raises, and that fund couldn't cover it. There
are several alternatives - we could look into our other contin-
gencies, which the Board wanted him to increase this year and
also could look into holding off new hires for a month or two.
Chairman Scurlock commented that it appears that if you
implement with the $5,000 cap we are all right in the General
Fund; in the MSTU we are about $50,000 short; and Road & Bridge
$64,000 short.
Director Baird explained that when -the Board asked him to
budget for turn -over in Road & Bridge, he cut the line item for
reserve for contingencies rather than cut the salary item, and
they would have been right on line if he hadn't done that. He
felt if we could hire 8 employees in December instead of October,
we would have sufficient money for raises.
Chairman Scurlock wished to know how it would work out if we
went to a $3,000 or $4,000 cap instead of a $5,000 cap.
Acting Administrator Collins noted that those numbers have
not been run, but that could be done very quickly.
The Chairman felt the cap would be the best place to look.
Director Baird stressed that Road 8 Bridge would be covered
if we didn't hire the 8 employees until December, and then the
only place we would be short would be the MSTU.
The Chairman believed the Commission as a whole has identi-
fied a significant problem in our Planning Department where it

seems plain that there is a glaring discrepancy, but he did not
know.if we could consider a different cap there than in the rest
of the bigger picture. His priority always has been to look at
essential services first; Planning is certainly an essential
service and is an area where he has great concern that we have
the proper level to attract and to keep people.
Commissioner Bird asked if it makes any sense to treat the
cap as a percentage rather than a dollar amount, and the Acting
Administrator advised that he had given that some consideration
but they haven't run through the numbers on it.
Commissioner Eggert expressed her hope that there is
something we can do re the MSTU and Community Development.
Director Baird believed the MSTU is the only taxing area
where we have a problem and reiterated the alternative of
utilizing money from Other General Contingencies, which was
increased to $800,000 this year over approximately $600,000 last
year. Also,- another alternative is that if we received the
money from the time sharing units, which revenue he has not
plugged into the budget, that would definitely take care of it.
The only other fund he could think of with a problem is Fleet
Management, and that is because of the cash shortage which we
will be addressing.
Chairman Scurlock believed Mr. Collins has done an excellent
job in starting with the department heads and working that out to
bring them in line, but as you step down into the lower areas,
many of the jobs and responsibilities may not be comparable, and
that may need some more work.
Acting Administrator Collins concurred that he needs to get
with the division heads and supervisors re the adjustments.
Chairman Scurlock hoped whatever Motion is made, that we
give Mr. Collins enough flexibility to have some pool of funds in
reserve to address specific needs.
Acting Administrator Collins agreed he would need some
flexibility. He pointed out that the salary survey study, for
S E P 2 0 1988 46
Boor 7 4 u,"E .3:30
instance, had identified water treatment operators all in a
certain range, and Director Pinto has identified that he has
Class A, B and C operators, all with different scales; so, that
does need to be fine tuned. Mr. Collins advised that he would
like authority to start advertising at the new salary rates
immediately as we are looking to open three water plants in the
next few months, and we need to get operators.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, to allow Acting Administrator
Collins to implement the new salary schedule using
the basic concept presented, with a fine tuning of
it as identified here, to speak particularly to the
MSTU problem, and use the $5,000 cap, if necessary,
but have the flexibility to go into a percentage, if
he wishes; and also have the ability to advertise for
new employees based on the new salaries to be imple-
mented as of September 30th.
Commissioner Eggert felt Mr. Collins has proved he has
looked at this in a way that is acceptable, at least to her.
Chairman Scurlock requested that Mr. Collins take one more
look when he runs into anything that is a real dramatic change,
where the range has swung possibly $10,000, to determine whether
the person is really classified accurately.
Discussion continued about the Motion and it was clarified
that the intent of the Motion is to allow Acting Administrator
Collins to implement the new salary schedule with approximate
ranges as discussed and an appropriate cap.
Commissioner Wheeler wished to be sure that he would have
the leverage to move people from one range to another, and this
was confirmed.
Acting Administrator Collins assured the Board that he won't
spend more money than we have, and Commissioner Eggert expressed
SEP 20 1988 47 soar 74 Fa,F 331
her belief that we can trust the Acting Administrator to handle
this equitably.
Chairman Scurlock asked if they are recommending the
establishment of a pool of funds since we do have a Union we are
negotiating with, and Director Baird confirmed that they are
asking for that pool of funds and that the Board authorize them
to use the dollar amount presented today.
The -Chairman felt the Motion is broad enough, and when it
applies to the Union people,.then you can have that as a pool of
funds, and as a part of the negotiating process, you come up with
the final wage package..
County Attorney Vitunac confirmed that was exactly right.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.
Acting Administrator Collins thanked the Board on behalf of
the employees.
REQUEST TO APPROVE JOINT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT WITH FDOT
The Board reviewed memo from Director Keating:
TO: William .G. Collins, II DATEseptember 13, 1988 FILE:
Acting County Administrator
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO APPROVE JOINT
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
WITH FLORIDA DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION (FDOT)
FROM: Mk REFERENCES:
Robert M. Keating, AICP
Director
It is requested that the information herein presented be given
formal consideration by the Hoard of County Commissioners at
their regular meeting of September 20, 1988.
SEP 2 0 1988 48 poor 74 wa 'E 332
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has determined
that three counties in Florida are expected to be classified as
urban after the results -of the 1990 census become available.
These three counties are Indian River, Martin, and Charlotte.
Once a county isdesignatedas urban, a metropolitan planning
organization (MPO) is established in the.county, and the county
then participates more -fully with FDOT in transportation
planning.
An MPO is a transportation planning organization which, together
with FDOT, undertakes transportation planning and prepares a
transportation plan for its area. From this planning effort, the
FDOT's five year transportation plan is derived. Unlike rural
counties which have limited input into the FDOT's five year
transportation plan, MPO's have- the ability to dictate FDOT
projects and funding priorities within .'their area. Once an MPO
is designated, the governor appoints -its members, all of whom
must be elected officials of general purpose local -governments in
the MP0i s jurisdiction.
To facilitate the transition of the three emerging MP0's from
rural county status to MPO status, the legislature appropriated
$100,000 for FY 88-89. FDOT has divided this sum equally among
the three counties and is offering $33,000 to each of the
counties to develop a future year 2010 transportation plan. A
copy of the proposed agreement between FDOT and the county is
appended to this item.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
The staff has been working with FDOT on an update to the County's
transportation plan for several months. Specifically, the staff
has tripled the number of traffic analysis zones in the county
And prepared base and target year socio-economic data for each
zone. FDOT is currently in the process of developing base and
target year networks and validating and calibrating the model.
The result of this effort will be the initial inputs for the
traffic circulation element of the County's revised comprehensive
plan. With the funds available,* a consultant can be retained to
work with .staff in developing the final traffic circulation
element. Final products will be a completed traffic circulation
element and a transportation system model which the county will
be able to use on its PC's.
It is staff's opinion that these funds provide an opportunity to
have necessary transportation planning done. Therefore, staff
recommends that the agreement be approved and that the staff be
authorized to develop and distribute an RFP for transportation
planning services.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the

agreement, authorize the chairman

REF; Jack McCorkle, Supt. of Fleet Management, to Jim Davis
dated 9/6/88
DATE: September 12, 1988
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Each year, a parts inventory is performed at the Fleet
Management Division by various County employees. Usually,
mechanics and other employees perform the work, and productivity
is suspended until the inventory is complete. Since Fleet
Management has been trimmed from 18 employees in 1984 to 12
current employees, this activity will delay vehicle repairs to
many County Departments, particularly Road and Bridge Division.
Staff is requesting consideration to contract this work to an
outside firm:
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS.
The firm closest in -proximity to Vero Beach which performs
this work is R.G.I.S.''Inventory Specialists. The alternatives
are as follows:
Alternative #1
Retain RGIS Inventory Specialist to perform a detailed parts
inventory for a fee of $18.00/hr. with a not -to -exceed cost
of $2,600.
Alternative 42
Attempt to seek more proposals from various companies.
Alternative #3
Perform the inventory with County Staff.
RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING
It is recommended that the County employ RGIS Inventory
Specialists for a fee not -to -exceed $2,600 to perform this
inventory. Funding to be from Vehicle Maintenance
501-242-591-035.29, unencumbered balance is $6,637.00
Commissioner Eggert asked if we are doing something about
Fleet Management as she understood half of the world is going
elsewhere.
The Acting Administrator advised that he had some discussion
about that with the department heads. Apparently Fleet Manage-
ment has reduced their operation substantially over the last
couple of years, but we need to get more of the departments
coming in and utilizing it if we are going to have revenues
generated. We have that under close observation right now.

DATE: JANUARY 28, 1988
SUBJECT: WINTER BEACH REFUSE STATION PROPERTY
BellSouth Telephone Company has requested a lease for a portion of
the subject property. They desire to erect a 285 foot tower to
place equipment on for the state-wide cellular telephone system that
will serve.the Indian River County link. The required amount of
property -.is 451x 55' for the equipment site and easements for the
guyed cables. They will also need a 10' wide easement for access
and utility-sery-ice from South Winter Beach land.
The County owns approximately 1.9.5 acres at the subject site with
about 3.2 acres being used..for the refuse station. Anticipated
renovations for the station will not require additional property.
The Master Plan for the sophisticated cellular telephone system
requires a limited area within a County in order to facilitate
alignment of antennas from one link to another. Due to this
requirement, the County tower at Hobart Park was not within the
designated area, plus unavailability of space at the 285' level on
our tower.
I have spoken with Mr. Wally Bender who.. represents BellSouth and
they are willing to lease the property for five years -at $300.00 per
month. Each five year extension.. will increase the'. lease rate by
15%. All costs of survey work will be borne by BellSouth. '--
It is recommended that the Board authorize staff to enter into
negotiations with BellSouth for the above described lease, which
will be brought back to the Board for final approval.

Commissioner Bowman
noted
that
she
has
found
some discrepan-
cies in the agreement -
in one
place
it
says
20'
and in another,
it says 30'.
Commissioner Bird's main question was whether we are getting
our money's worth out of the property He hoped that someone has
researched this carefully and asked how we establish that we are
getting a fair market value for the property.
Manager Dean advised that staff based it on what they had
been paying -in other similar leases. He explained this is
actually an option on the lease. Acellular contract has not
been awarded, and BellSouth wants an option on leasing the
property so that in the event that authority is awarded to them,
they have a place to put their tower immediately.
Commissioner Bird asked if their option would be assignable
as he would not want to give an option and find, out that RCA or
someone gets the permit, and then BellSouth leases it to them for
ten times as.
much
as they
are paying us.
Manager
Dean
advised
that they can't do that. All they want
is the southwest corner of that property, 55 x 45, with an ease-
ment for the guy wires coming out from the tower. He assured
the Board that this would not interfere with any operation we
have planned for the collection site itself.
Commissioner Wheeler had some concern as to whether 15% is a
big enough increase for each 5 year extension, and Commissioner
Bird was concerned as to whether it may not be premature to give
them this option.
County Attorney Vitunac noted that if they fail to exercise
their option, all rights are terminated and they cannot assign
them without our permission.
Discussion continued as to the Board's feeling that this
proposed option is all to BellSouth's advantage and that we
should just leave the property vacant and deal with it when the
time comes.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis-
sioner Bowman, the Board unanimously denied approval

PRESENTATION OF CHECK FROM DIVISION OF FORESTRY
Commissioner Wheeler advised that the Division of Forestry
wishes to present the Board with a check for $1,000 for the North
County Fire District for communications.
Joe Spataro, Area Supervisor from the Division of Forestry,
came before the Board and introduced the new Urban Forester, Tim
Elder. Forester Spataro informed the Board that the check for
$1,000 comes from a Title IV Grant from the U.S.Forest Service,
which is 50% matching funds. They originally requested around
$3,500 ($7,000 total, and $3,500 being their share to give the
county) but they only funded the radios this year. He, there-
fore, would now present the Board with the $1,000 which is for
hand held radios, two for the Sebastian Fire Department and two
for Vero Lakes Estate Fire Department. Forester Spataro wished
it could be more, but advised that it is in line with their fair

DATE: AUGUST 26, 1988
SUBJECT: WATER LINE REPLACEMENT - 6TH AVENUE AND 15TH STREET
BACKGROUND
The location of this project is 6th Avenue and 15th Street. For
several months we have been receiving numerous complaints on water
color and taste from residents served off of water lines on the
above mentioned streets. We wish to take emergency action to
replace.these lines as the problem is quite severe both from a
maintenance standpoint,. due to the need to continually flush the
lines as well as from e customer relationship standpoint.
ANALYSIS
The problem is the age of the water lines. This has become a
problem, primarily due to the material of the lines which is
galvanized steel pipe. The lines are so corroded the water runs out
brown. We have gotten several estimates for the replacement of
these lines, the lowest of which was'from Belvedere -Construction in
the amount of $19,750.00 which is attached.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Utility Services recommends that.the Board of
County Commissioners approve this action on an emergency basis -so
that we may proceed immediately.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the
emergency replacement of water lines at 6th Avenue
and 15th Street by Belvedere Construction Co. in
the amount of $19,750. as recommended by staff.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
BACKGROUND
Masteller and Moler Associates, Inc., has designed the North County
sewer project. The preliminary plans for the collection system are
currently under review by this Department. Before the project is
finalized and put out for bid soils exploration eed to be done
throughout -the project.
ANALYSIS
The Consultants on this project have received estimates from several
soils testing firms, the lowest of which was from Universal
Engineering Testing Company of Merritt Island, FL., in the amount
of $3,495.00.
It is important to have the soils work completed prior to bidding to
assure more precise bidding. Without soils investigation,
Contractors tend to bid worse case conditions.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Utility Services recommends tha the Board of
County Commissioners approve the above action, a d by doing so
approve the forthcoming contracts with Universal En ineering.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis-
sioner Bowman,. the Board unanimously approv�d the soils

DEPARTMENT OF UTIL TY SERVICES
SUBJECT: BLUE CYPRESS LAKE AREA SEWER SYSTEM
BACKGROUND
The Department of Utility Services wishes to begin design of a
wastewater treatment plant, collection system, and effluent disposal
system to serve the County Park, and surrounding area at Blue
Cypress -_Lake. Prior to the actual design an engineering report
needs to be generated in order to determine the.exact methodologies
to be used for the design.of the systems. Particular attention must
be paid to effluent disposal-as.Blue Cypress is located on the head
waters of the. St. Johns-maXing.the project difficult to permit.
ANALYSIS
To prepare the engineering report we wish to use Post, Buckley,
Schuh, and Jernigan, Inc. (PBS&J). PBS&J are ranked number one for
design of effluent disposal systems.. Due to the anticipated
difficulty in permitting that portion of -the project we wish to have
them prepare the complete package.. They have agreed to complete the
engineering report, for a lump -sum" of -$5,500:00 and take
approximately four weeks to finish. -
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners approve this action and allow the signing of
the forth c coming Work Authorization.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis-
sioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously authorized
the Department of Utility Services to use Post, Buckley,
Schuh & Jernigan to prepare the engineering report on
the methodology to be used for design of the effluent
disposal system for the Blue Cypress Lake Area Sewer
System for a lump sum of $5,500 and approved the
forthcoming Work Authorization.

SALARY PROGRAM FOR LEGAL SECRETARIES
The Board reviewed memo from County Attorney Vitunac:
TO: Pte,_Board of Cpunty Commissioners
FROM: Charles P. VTtunac - County Attorney
DATE: August 16, 1988
SUBJECT: Salary Program for Legal Secretaries
Pursuant to the Board's policy of establishing appropriate
pay levels for its employees, the County Attorney's Office
has developed the attached chart which shows what.I would
like to use as the pay plan for the County Attorney's Office
legal secretarial staff.
LSI (Legal Secretary 1) would begin at a base salary of
$14,800 and would receive 4% merit increases over each of
the next three years to reach a maximum Level of $16,648.
The .skills necessary to become an LSI are proficiency in
word processing :and typewriting but no Legal secretarial
skills.. The chart 'presumes' that after three years the
secretary should have all -.experience necessary to advance to
an LS l I position. -'I-f-- the -secretary does not possess those
skills, the maximum salary would stay as is indicated in the
fourth column.
The position of LSII requires all the qualifications of LSI
and assumes that the secretary possesses all the skills
necessary to be a Legal secretary. The salary would begin
at $17,314 and would have five step Increases of 4% each
year to a maximum of -$21,065.'. At 'th.e end of that time the
employee would have reached the _maximum grade .1 -eve I for an
LSII position and would not advance to LSIII unless
possessing the skills or -:degrees required of a:'paral.egal.
LSIII (paralegal) would begin at $21,908 and progress over
five years in 4% steps to amaximum of $26,654.
The attached survey data indicate that this chart is
consistent with St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach Counties,
and salaries paid in Vero Beach by the largest law firm.
To keep the chart valid considering inflation each year the
figures should be adjusted upward or downward by the CPI
factors used by the Federal Government. Thus, in today's
dollars the range for the legal secretarial staff of the
County Attorney's. Office would be from $14,800 to $26,654.
1 would Like to implement this salary study effective
October 1, 1988. 1 would recommend that of the present
staff of the County Attorney's Office that Joye Lanham be
considered to be an LSI 2nd step; Nancy Mossa11 to be an
LSII 6th step; and Lea Keller to be an LSIII 1st step.

SUBJECT: Sloan Property
FROM: Carolyn K. Eggert REFERENCES:

After reading Charles VitunacIs;--opinion, on the Sloan property
appraisal with a suggestion that it was-. hard to qualify if this
was a good value, I suggested to DickMills that we might need a
second appraisal.
Mr. Mills has sent through proposals for a second appraisal.
I recommend* t' we pay our share of the $3500 fee of Deighan
Appraisal Associates,. Inc:' using the same methodology as the
original appraisal so—:that. we<_have a true basis of comparison
with the original appraisal, provided the other three counties
also participate.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commis-
