WRY/nc *Or designated representative • Chairman Scurlock thought it would be appropriate to have either Commissioner Eggert or Wheeler serve on this commission since they are so involved with the library and the courthouse being built in the downtown area. Attorney Vitunac advised that there is a question of whether there is a dual office holding capacity involved in this issue, and asked that the appointment be made contingent on verification from his office that it is okay for a Commissioner to sit on this advisory commission. He would make a recommendation and bring it back next week. 12 1NOV 81988 BOOK f' E 110 ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously appointed Commissioner Eggert to the Redevelopment Advisory Commission, contingent on the Legal Dept.'s verification that a Commissioner may serve on the Redevelopment Advisory Commission.

They are responsible for putting in a road there and moving the treatment plant, and Brooks Brierley of Sebastian Lakes has said that they have signed their contract with the commercial development just to the east of this site. Commissioner Eggert questioned the blue-green color for the exterior as she remember it to be more blue-green than what is shown on the drawings, and Mr. Bibo stated that he would get the color back to what they had shown previously. Commissioner Eggert reported that our buil-ding program consultant had a question about the air conditioning circuiatio.n,. which needs to be verified.

PRESENTATION OF COURTHOUSE SPACE NEEDS STUDY The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/1/88: 15 NOV 8 1988 BOOK '75 DGE 113 TO: County Commissioners FROM: DATE: November 1, 1988 FILE: SUBJECT: Courthouse Study Gary C. Wheeler REFERENCES: Chairman Courthouse Advisory Committee The Courthouse Advisory Committee met with Mr. Reeves, Architects Design Group, Inc. on September 26, 1988 and unanimously recommended Option C of the Space Needs Study subject to approval of the different agencies involved, with the understanding that there is land available for a parking garage in the future, and removal of the Pocahontas building option. Copies of the individual portions of the study were sent to the following offices requesting comments: Public Defender Judge Smith Judge Vocelle Judge Kilbride Judge Baisiger Judge Kanarek Judge Geiger Clerk of Court State Attorney Law Library Bailiff's Division Only three responses were received: the Public Defender's office apparently approved of the study as submitted; Judge Smith did not think enough square footage had been allowed for the judges; and Judge Vocelle apparently had a problem with the design and floor plan, but the design has not been discussed at this time. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the County Commission approve Option C of the Space Needs Study, deleting the Pocahontas Building consideration, and refer the study to the appropriate staff and committees for a recommendation on available funding sources. Commissioner Wheeler introduced Keith Reeves of Architectural Design Group and Lynda Chesser of Architectural Interiors Group, Inc., who reviewed the procedures involved in determining the space needs for the courthouse based on anticipated increased case Toads until the years 2000 and 2010. 16 N O V 8 1988 L"lJl��f: [y.,E114 Executive Summary The findings/work product of this study have been based upon a series of indepth interviews with individuals and participants in the.Judicial system. It is difficult, at best, to consolidate the significant amount of information gathered into a summary that informs the reader. You are encouraged to review the entire study so as to be completely knowledgeable of the rationale and informa- tion which has lead to the recommendations. Major findings/conclusions of the study are noted in the following executive summary: 1. Space Needs: Current and Future: The various elements of the Indian River County Judicial System are impacted by being located in spaces generally inadequate for their present needs, and unable to provide for expansion anticipated in the future. Current and cumulative future needs, as detailed in this space needs study, are as follows: Phase) current needs year 1986 Phased 1r2000 Phase 18 year2010 74,857 sq. ft. 103,401 sq. ft. 133,383 sq. ft. 2. Site Location The consultant recommends continued utilization of the downtown location, predicated upon land acquisition as detailed in this report. We conclude, based upon several criteria, that the existing facilities should be "recycled" and the site be retained as the Judicial Center of Indian River County. 3. Recommended Option The consultant recommends the selection of Option "B", a three - phased development designed to provide an orderly sequence and utilization of existing and proposed facilities. The phases are describe as follows: Phase IA: 1989 The County would lease a portion of the Pocahontas Building, located adjacent to and south of the existing courthouse, for utilization as a Fifth Courtroom. This courtroom would be for non -jury trials, county or civil, and would include space for a judicial "set° or chambers. Phase II: 1990 Construct a new judicial facility to be located to the north of the Annex Building and northwest of the courthouse. Acquire Lots 10 through 14 of Block 30 between 22nd and 23rd Street and the two lots to the North of the existing-gtate's Attorneys offices. The new facility would be designed to accommodate all elements of the criminal justice system including: • Circuit and County Courts • Court Associated Spaces • Grand Jury • Security Areas • Clerk of the Court • Public Defender • State's Attorney • Law Library Phase II -A: 1991 - 1992 Upon completion of the new Judicial facility, demolish the existing Courthouse and Annex Buildings and begin construction site improvements, parking, landscaping, etc. Phase II: 2000 To accommodate anticipated growth, expand the Judicial Building by an addition of approximately 28,500 square feet. Phase III: 2010 Additional space needs of those elements contained in the Judicial Building would be accommodated by an addition of approximately 30,000 square feet. 17 BOOK 75 F'KE 115 NOV 81988 4. Financial Planning: The study has recommended a phased development of the downtown site that attempts to avoid major disruption of the judicial process as its space needs are being addressed. The recom- mended solution proposes the expenditure of approximately $9,350,000 mandating a financial feasibility plan which will generate sufficient net funds. It is recommended that the County retain an independent financial advisor and consider the issuance of a Bond Issue in an amount sufficient to generate the funds indicated. Mr. Reeves advised that a very detailed questionnaire was sent to all the various offices, and the analysis clearly indicated that the courthouse should be located in the same locale. After the new building is constructed on the proposed site, they recommend the dema1ition:of theapresent courthouse and the annex with the possible retention of some of the historical elements from the old courthouse, such as the portico and the engraved block over the entrance. During a slide presentation, Mr. Reeves noted that the present space needs are 75,000 sq. ft., and 103,000 sq. ft. will be needed by the year 2000. Architects Design Group are recommending the acquisition of the two single family detached homes and one duplex unit for parking area and future expansion if needed. They are also suggesting the acquisition of the property adjacent to the State Attorney's Office, so that a pedestrian connector can be tied into the library building and the court complex sometime in the future. Mr. Reeves noted that this plan does not meet the parking requirements, but using the parking space at the adjacent church will alleviate a part of the problem. Architects Design Group made their presentation to the Courthouse Advisory Committee with the recommendation of Option B, which had a total bottom line of $9.9 million. The Courthouse Advisory Committee, however, chose to go to Option C, which had a bottom line cost of $11.7 million, but with the exclusion of having a 5th courtroom built in the Pocahontas Building. 18 NOV X988 BOOK 75 [1,E116 L. Development Costs OPTION C .New Facilities: 2000 Needs Option C proposes the same basic concept as that of Option B, but utilizes the space needs to the year 2000. As noted this additional 28,544 square feet would be constructed as "shell" or unimproved space, designed to accommodate future expansion with the least amount of disruption, and with savings generated by construction the primary structural system now. Phase IA: Renovations to Pocahontas Building Renovate the existing "store front" space facing 14th Avenue for utilization as a fifth courtroom. Note that these costs may be paid all or in part by the building owner, dependent upon length of lease and lease terms. 1. Renovation of approximately 1,600 square feet of existing space @ $60.00/square foot $ 96,000 2.

Phase I 11,157,048 3. Phase II 455,500 4. Total Estimated Development Costs $ 11,752,288 Mr.Reeves pointed out that Option C calls for 75,000 square feet along with the construction of some 28,500 feet of shell space which can be filled in as space needs increase. Commissioner Eggert asked the projected cost of the shell space, and Mr. Reeves advised that the cost for completed construction is $96 per sq. ft., and the shell space is $60 per sq. ft. The shell space cost includes the sizing of the mechanical equipment, air conditioning, elevators, electrical vaults and all the elements so that nothing will have to be torn down when those items are ready to be installed. Chairman Scurlock felt we would be well served by going with Option C, which excludes the building of a 5th courtroom in the Pocahontas Building. He believed the community would like to see the historical elements saved if we can come up with a cost effective approach. Commissioner Eggert asked if the present Courthouse could be used if it were gutted and restored, and Mr. Reeves explained that while it has adaptive reuse possibilities, it really is not appropriate any longer for a courts facility. It could be remodeled for use by the Attorney's Office or the Public Defender's Office. The way the courts are laid out today, with separate paths of circulation, the existing building could not be 20 NOV 81988 BOOK 75 uGE 11 used effectively. They even looked at taking down the 2 ells that were added on either side and keeping the core of the courthouse building, which is really the historical part. So, it is a decision of whether it is historically important enough to save. They do not feel the Courthouse is a significant architectural building. It may have historical significance for Indian River County, and maybe the Historical Society could be convinced that the building would make a great museum. Perhaps there are other non-profitentities that; could afford to work in some joint participation with the County to rent space in that structure. Commissioner Bird agreed that the existing courthouse would not serve as a courts facility any longer, but he was dedicated to trying to preserve that building for use of some sort. He pointed out how we renovated this building, which was originally a hospital, into administrative offices, and wondered if there was any possibility of going higher with the annex, and possibly building a twin tower behind the front core of the present Courthouse. Mr. Reeves advised that the proposed building would have to be 4 or 5 stories in order to accommodate all the space needs. He pointed out that he failed to say that the land acquisition costs are included in the total cost. Chairman Scurlock felt that what he was hearing today is that the Commissioners have a desire to explore all the possibilities to retain some part of the present Courthouse because of its historical significance, even while realizing the problems with the flat roof, the extensive mildew, and water coming in at the base of the walls. Commissioner Bird agreed we should plan ahead for the future, but worried about the County's indebtedness on present capital improvements. He asked if there has been some sort of a financial analysis done on the priorities of the proposed capital improvements, such as the new Courthouse, the Health Building, the new libraries, various recreation projects, etc. 21 BOOK 75 E GE 119 NOV 8 1988 Chairman Scurlock advised that the Financial Advisory Committee has agreed to meet with the bond counsel people the first week in December and he has asked each of the Commissioners to prepare a 5, 10 and perhaps a 15 year needs package for essential projects being proposed by their respective committees. The FAC feels the 1$ sales tax is a viable option to look at, and once the Commissioners give them the numbers, they will put those figures together and come up with a vehicle to educate the public. He believed this community is sophisticated and intelligent enough to vote for an additional It sales tax to support the construction of these projects, knowing that the only other way to pay for these capital improvements would be through ad valorem taxes and not everybody pays those taxes. Using the present figures, we are looking at generating $5 -million per year with an additional 1$ sales tax. Commissioner Bird felt that is what it is going to take, because it is not only the construction costs of these new buildings, the costs for maintenance and staffing are substantial. Commissioner Wheeler suggested that since the City of Vero Beach would be receiving a portion of that sales tax, they might be willing to work with the County in educating the public in the necessity of going to an additional 1t sales tax. Chairman Scurlock advised that after their December meeting, the FAC would meet with the different municipalities and come back to the Board with their numbers and recommendations sometime in March. Commissioner Bird suggested that maybe the City of Vero Beach would be willing to designate a certain portion of their share of their taxes towards the downtown redevelopment program. Chairman Scurlock explained there is a timeframe for taking this to the public and getting it in place. We have a one-time shot at it, and that is where the concern is. Do you do it for 1 year, 5 years, or go to the full flexibility of 15 years. We are going to have to decide what is acceptable to the community. NOV 8 1988 22 BOOK rj,,��� �rUf. 120 Commissioner Bowman felt that when it comes to right-of-way acquisition, we should look ahead to 15 years, and Commissioner Eggert stressed that the cost of land is not going to go down. Returning to the matter of the Courthouse, Commissioner Bird felt the Commissioners are in agreement with saving a part of the Courthouse and seeing what can be done, and that did not mean just saving the cornerstone. He understood that we are just accepting the space needs report today and not approving any of the options. Commissioner Wheeler felt we should move along and at least start the process of selecting an architectural firm. Commissioner Bird asked for specifics on the square footage, and Mr. Reeves explained that there is 45,000 square feet in the existing facility, but we need about 75,000, which gives a shortfall of 30,000 square feet. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner. Bowman, the Board unanimously approved the square footage under Option C which excludes the Pocahontas Building, with the understanding that efforts will be made to look into saving the core of the old Courthouse. Commissioner Wheeler asked if we could move on with the selection of an architect at this point. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board authorized the Courthouse Committee and staff to proceed with the requests for proposals for an architect. Mr. Reeves thanked those who had been involved in the space needs study for their cooperation, especially Commissioner Wheeler. 23 NOV 8 198E BOCK 75� 1 THE SPACE NEEDS ANALYSIS FOR THE COURTHOUSE FACILITY IS ON FILE IN ITS ENTIRETY IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD NORTH COUNTY OFFICE SPACE The Board reviewed the following memo dated 11/1/88: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: November 2, 1988 FILE: SUBJECT: NORTH COUNTY OFFICE SPACE William G. Collins II FROM:Acting County Administrator REFERENCES: The Board deferred any action on David Fisher's North County Office Leasing Proposal on October 11th until such time as the staffing, equipment and operational costs were determined. Please find attached those costs as prepared by our Budget Office in consultation with the departments requesting space. Since the time of that meeting I have been contacted by other leasing agents from the Sebastian area. One offering was for spac sq. ft. for terms of one year or more at a rate of there may be locational consideration involved in ch sites, this more recent offering on U.S.#1 between Rt. offer more flexibility in s of space requirements a does so at a cost that is lower per sq. ft. than Mr. Recommendation 61„ County space requirements are currently quite low an committing to a smaller space than Mr. Fisher has recommend declining Mr. Fisher's proposal and pursuing needed' basis until such time as County space requir time we should investigate building our own North Coun crements of 1,040 per sq. ft. While ng between different 512 and Rt. 510 does d leasing terms, and Fisher's proposal. could be satisfied by proposed. I would small leases on an 'as ents grow. At that y Complex. Administrator Collins pointed out two corrections to figures in the above memo. The $7.50 per sq. ft. rate is actually $8.25, which changes the 25% figure to 17.5%. OMB Director Joe Baird pointed out that the bottom line in the following operating cost list is $386,145, instead of $366,145.

She did not want to spend that amount of money, because she did not feel we need that amount of space at the present time. She asked if we had gone back to Mr. Fisher and negotiated at a lower Level. Commissioner Wheeler pointed out that many buildings in that area were not built with allowances for parking, etc., which will be necessary for County offices. Tax Collector Gene Morris is renting at $9.00 a square foot. Commissioner Bird did not feel the County could afford to duplicate each and every county office or service at this point in time. He agreed that some offices are necessary, such as the Veterans Services, but felt that when we eventually provide those services in the north county, the offices should be located in a central location, not scattered around. Commissioner Wheeler advised that the Supervisor of Elections has expressed an intense need for north county office space, but 26 NOV 8 19 8 BOOK 75 pnE124 Chairman Scurlock pointed out that she is getting more space now in this building because she is going to expand her offices when Environmental Health moves to the hospital complex. Chairman Scurlock stated he would not vote for this now, but suggested that maybe next year the Board would like to consider it at budget time. He believed that the Veterans Office is the only one that needs a north county office at this time. Commissioner Wheeler agreed that we have overreached a bit here. David Fisher noted that if the Board decided to rent small amounts of space on an as needed basis, he was perfectly willing to subsidize the difference between what he feels will be the market value and what the County is willing to pay, as he would like to have the County in his building. The only thing he would ask is that we talk about it soon because the building is under design now. Mr. Fisher asked to be included in the negotiations regarding the lease rates per square feet since he has put so much effort into this up to now. Commissioner Wheeler recommended that Mr. Fisher negotiate directly with the Constitutional Officers about their needs rather than having the Commissioners acting as the middle man. Attorney Vitunac advised that the Board cannot commit to renting or leasing of space for more than 24 months unless non- ad valorem taxes are pledged. NOV 19 ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board endorsed the 'concept of consolidating government offices in a central location in the north county and encouraging the Constitutional Officers to negotiate directly with Mr. Fisher for space in his new building; and for the departments that fall directly under the Board of County Commissioners, the Board agreed to take the position that there aren't any space needs in the north county that they wish to address in this budget year. 27 BOOK 75 FA.GE 1?S COUNTY DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATION The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/28/88: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE:October 28, 1988 FILE: SUBJECT:COUNTY DEPARTMENTAL ORGANIZATION FROM william G. Collins II REFERENCES: Acting County Administrator Stepping into the role of Acting Administrator, I find that I have direct administrative responsibilities for six departments: 1. Public Works 2. Utilities 3. Community Development 4. Emergency Management Services 5. Personnel & Human Resources 6. Golf Course and IRC Fair I also find myself as Acting Administrator, playing a coordinating role with the following offices: 1. Office of Management and Budget 2. County Attorney's Office 3. City/County Recreation Program I also find myself acting as a liaison with the Constitutional Officers. All of the above is running well and smoothly. I have, however, experienced considerable difficulty in supervising, coordinating with and providing sufficient contact with and leadership for many divisions which had previously been reporting to either Assistant Administrator Mattes or Personnel Director Blankenship. Among the divisions that have been reporting directly to the Acting Administrator are: 1. Purchasing 2. Vero Beach Library 3. Sebastian Library 4. Buildings and Grounds Division 5. Central Services 6. Risk Management 7. Youth Guidance 8. Probation 9. Welfare 10. Veterans Services 11. Agricultural Extension Service 12. Soil Conservation liaison 13. Housing and Rental Assistance It had been my intention to try and keep things in the status quo until a new administrator was hired. As time goes by, I suffer from greater and greater fears that things are falling through the cracks and that I am not able to provide adequate supervision to all those divisions which could truly benefit from more direct contact with someone in the County administrative hierarchy. For that reason I would like to pose some alternatives with respect to the organization of County departments/divisions. 28 NOV 8 1988 BOOK 75 P,1IA 126 Alternative 1 adm nistrat Leave the situation as is for anoth o nths until decisions.a new The benefit The toothis s hired and can make his own organizational alternative is that unnecessary departmental reshuffling is avoided. Also, the ex- 1..ie to the County is minimized in that things continue to operate as is with no additional outlays of funds. The disadvantage to Alternative 1 is that many divisions may receive inadequate supervision and communication, thereby causing inefficiency in the provision of service to the public. The second disadvantage is that any new Administrator will come to the job with significantly more supervisory responsibility than normal, while he is in process of familiarizing himself with the County. Alternative 2 A second alternative would be to allocate the 13 orphan divisions among existing departments. The advantage to this is that no new County expenditures would be required. The disadvantage is that many of the divisions d� not logically fit under other departments and -the net _effect would be to pass a supervision problem from _ the Administrator's Office to the Personnel_ and Human Services, .Director.,..r, , For instance, the following would be the- l`agical- allocation of divisions; were they to be assigned to our existing departments: 1. Budget - Purchasing 2. Public Works - Buildings and Grounds 3. Personnel & Human Resources - Main Library - Sebastian Library - Central Services _ - Risk Management - Youth Guidance - Probation - Welfare - Veterans Services This would still leave. the Agricultural. Extension Service, the Soil Conservation liaison, and the Housing and Rental Assistance Office requiring some coordination with the Administrator. Alternative 3 Recreate a Department of General Services. Many of the orphan divisions naturally could be considered as subdivisions of a Department of General Services. With the creation of a new Department of General Services, this department could administer: NOV 1988 (1) Central Services (2) Purchasing (3) Main Library (4) Sebastian Library (5) Veterans Service (6) Buildings and Grounds (7) Probation 29 BOOK 75 F{CE 12 6 This department could also coordinate necessary contacts with the: (1) Agricultural Extension Office (2) Soil Conservation Service (3) Housing Assistance Program Under this revised scheme of organization, the entire burden of the orphan divisions would not be shifted to the Personnel & Human Resources Department. However, I would suggest that the following divisions might logically be included within Personnel & Human Resources: (1) Risk Management (2) Youth Guidance (3) Welfare The advantage to Alternative 3 is that the "orphan" divisions would have a direct:• supervisor who could provide liaison between the Administrator and each of - the divisions. Each, would - have -more access, contact with and leadership from the -.County Administrative- hierarchy: As a result, services shogki—be-;provided, to. the public in a more.: efficient and" responsive manner. A further advantage to the reorganization is that when a new administrator is hired, he will not find things in a chaotic situation and be forced to make snap judgments about reorganization at a time when he is trying to familiarize himself with the County operations as a whole. Recommendation I recommend that Alternative 3 be adopted. I recommend that Sonny Dean be the Department Head for the Department of General Services. Mr. Dean has served in a similar capacity before and should transition very smoothly into this position. A budget amendment will need to be accomplished in order to fund the new department's operational needs. A proposed budget for the Department is attached. Chairman Scurlock asked why under Alternative 3 Youth Guidance and Welfare wouldn't fall under General Services also, and Administrator Collins felt it seemed more logical to have them report to Personnel & Human Resources. Administrator Collins had mixed emotions and really felt that Option #1 would be the best; however, he was concerned about things piling up. Commissioner Bowman felt the Board needed more specific information before making a decision on this, and Commissioner Eggert had some concerns about the libraries reporting to General Services. 30 NOV 8 1988 BOOK 1 A.lA C Lengthy discussion ensued with respect to what type of organizational structure a new Administrator might prefer, and Chairman Scurlock felt that we never should have abolished the General Services Department. Administrator Collins noted that OMB Director Joe Baird has prepared a budget amendment which would appropriate funds to pay -for Sonny Dean's salary, necessary office equipment and supplies, and fringe benefits. It comes to $77,000 for the year. TO: Memborb of the Board or -County Commissioners FROMs, Joseph A.

He believed those people would be coming on board in about 3 weeks. Administrator Collins interjected that no one has been hired to fill Mr. Dean's position in Utilities. Three people have been approved to be hired, but it is all contingent upon what happens with the reorganization and what happens with the election. There are a lot of variables here. Chairman Scurlock believed it probably would be 90 days before a new Administrator comes on board, but Administrator Collins hoped it would be in 7 weeks. Commissioner Wheeler preferred to recreate the General Services Dept. as set out in Alternative #3, and at least restructure in the interim, and let the new Administrator restructure it if he doesn't like it. Commissioner Bird asked about secretarial support for General Services, and Administrator Collins advised that there will be a transitional period for a few months. Right now Mr. Dean is heading the Landfill and has secretarial support out of Utilities. Until we get someone hired in his position, he would continue to draw secretarial support from Utilities. One-fourth of his salary would come from the Utilities Department to represent the portion of the year he worked there. Commissioner Eggert heard that this is going to happen January 1st, but Administrator Collins stated that it would be effective immediately. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board support Alternative #3 as written and approve budget amendment #004 to accomplish it. 32 INV 1988 L BOOK 75 Pry: _, E i:3 Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert asked about the equipment listed in the budget amendment, and Administrator Collins explained that most of the equipment that Mr. Dean is using right now was never transferred to Utilities and is still listed as an asset of the General Services Dept. OMB Director Baird advised that Mr. Dean needs a word processor or a computer, which is included under "Office & Equipment" in the budget amendment. Commissioner Bird asked if this is a lateral transfer as far as salary is concerned, and Director Baird explained that Mr. Dean's salary would be deleted from Utilities budget and go into General Services, effective February 1st. Commissioner Eggert asked how Mr. Dean's transfer would affect Utilities, and Administrator Collins explained that Mr. Dean will provide whatever transitional services are necessary there, over and above his job in General Services. Commissioner Eggert understood then that Director Pinto will cease to be Mr. Dean's superior immediately, as far as General Services is concerned, and Administrator Collins confirmed that he would be Mr. Dean's superior, and then if any problems arise, they would be straightened out. Chairman Scurlock again raised the question of having Youth Guidance and Welfare report to Personnel. Commissioner Bird expressed his personal feeling that he did not feel it was necessary to do the restructuring for such a short period of time before a new Administrator came on board. COMMISSIONERS WHEELER and EGGERT amended their Motion to have Youth Guidance and Welfare report to Administrator Collins. 33 NOV 81988 BOOK 75 I /1 L 1:31 THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The amended Motion was voted on and carried by a vote of 4-1, Commissioner Bird dissenting. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously authorized Building & Grounds Manager Lynn Williams to continue with the North County library construction work and Jail site work since he has been so involved.

North of Oslo Road DATE: October 27, 1988 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The paving of the above road has been completed. Listed below is a comparison of the preliminary estimate and the final costs to the homeowners. It is noted that all construction cost are under the original estimates: Road Prelim. Est. Final Cost llth Ct. S.W. $39,030.00 $33,475.14 The final assessment roll has been prepared and is ready to be delivered to the Tax Collector. Assessments are to be paid within 90 days or in two equal installments, the first to be made twelve months from the due date and the second to be made twenty-four months from the due date at an interest rate of 12% established by the Board of County Commissioners. The due: date is 90 daysafter the final determination of -the special assessment. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS Since the final assessment to the benefited owners will be less than computed on the preliminary assessment rolls, the only alternative presented -is to approve the final assessment rolls. RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING It is recommended that the final assessment rolls for the paving of llth Court S.W., North of Oslo Road be approved by the Board of County Commissioners and that they be transferred to the Tax Collector's office for collection. Funding to be from the Petition Paving Account #173-214-541.

COLLINS, II TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES FROM: WILLIAM F. McCAI\t�c� PROJECTS ENGINES DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES DATE: OCTOBER 28, 1988 SUBJECT:- UPGRADING - 4OTH AVENUE LIFT STATION GIFFORD WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AREA BACKGROUND As a. result of recent modifications to the Gifford Wastewater Treatment Plant, the pressure head in the 40th Avenue force main has been increased by approximately 10 feet. When the new Gifford Plant goes on line, the head increase will rise again making the total increase 20 feet. The existing pumps in this lift station will be unable to pump against this pressure head. (See attached memo from Terry Southard dated September 13, 1988.) ANALYSIS The 40th Avenue lift station needs to be upgraded immediately. The system has been modeled by ABS pump manufacturers and an appropriate level of upgrade has been determined. (See the attached sheets.) The Utilities Department wishes to direct purchase the equipment and contract out the installation of said equipment. This needs to be done on an emergency basis to avoid any future back-up in the sewer lines. The total cost of the job will not exceed $26,000. Funding for this project will come from our liftstation maintenance account number 471-218-536-044.67 RECOMMENDATION The Utility Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the aforementioned action. 35 NOV 8 1988 BOOK 75 FXE 133 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved staff's recommendation as set out in the above memo.

(CDM) PROJECT NUMBERS UW -88 -01 -WC UW -88=O2 -WC:- UW -88 -03 -WC BACKGROUND Sometime ago, we undertook a selection process to pick a consulting firm to handle our water treatment plant engineering; the top ranked firm was Camp, Dresser and McKee, -Inc. Since CDM was ranked number one over our previous consultant, D.S.S. Engineers Inc., it was decided to switch all ongoing projects to the newly selected consultant. At the onset of this project, we decided not to have approval on all of the funds necessary for engineering services on this project until it was determined exactly what would be required during construction. ANALYSIS The consulting firm of Camp, Dresser and McKee are prepared to assume engineering responsibilities for the remainder of this project. The Engineering services they have proposed cover the identical scope of services as those proposed by D.S.S., our previous consultant on this project, and are for approximately the same cost, as follows: DSS CDM Engineering costs $40,613.00 $41,900.00 associated with R. O. Plant expansion completion The monies for this work have been set aside and will be transferred from the Utilities Department Impact Fee Fund to the project account. RECOMMENDATION The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approve the above action and, by doing so, authorize the signing of the forthcoming work authorization. NOV 8 1988 37 BOOK .10 fr{CE LJ5 Commissioner Eggert asked if we at sometime would get a list or diagram of what is going on out there because she has lost sight of how it all interrelates, and Chairman Scurlock advised that a plan had been delivered to him yesterday, and believed that --all the Commissioners received one. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved staff's recommendation, as set out in the above memo, and authorized the Chairman to sign the forthcoming work authorization.

Subsequently, the Board approved the final version of the Standards. We now find it necessary to update these Standards as well as modify our existing detail sheets. (See attached scope of work.) ANALYSIS Due to the necessity of even more upcoming changes to the Utility Standards text, we want to have them on disk in-house so that we may make our own upgrades. To this end, we wish to have the firm of 38 N ® W 8 1988 BOO 75 rr,L 136 Camp, Dresser and McKee put the text on a disk using Wordperfect and make some minor changes to the detail sheets. Funding for this item would be from the Budget Expenditure Account for General Engineering Services and would be in the amount of $3,500.00. RECOMMENDATION The Utilities staff recommends that the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approve this action and, by doing so, approve the signing of the forthcoming Work Authorization. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved staff's recommendation as set out in the above memo, and authorized the Chairman to sign the forthcoming work authorization.

Baird OMB Director Indian River County is in the process of obtaining Financing for the purchase of the North Beach Water Company. Quite some time ago the Board of County Commissioners authorized a Bond Resolution to finance the purchase of the North Beach Water Company using a surcharge as the revenue pledge. The Bond Resolution was drafted anticipating that if we would receive a waiver from the FmHA of lien on surcharges then we could have utilized the surcharge as a senior lien pledge to back the bonds, but without the waiver the surcharges would be a second or junior lien. Due to this change, Indian River County Bond Counsel, Financial Advisor .and staff met with several underwriters and banks to decide what would be the best financing alternative. It was decided because of the timing and complexity that we could finance the purchase through a Bond Pool or a Bond Anticipation Note. We have concluded that, because of the time element involved, that we should proceed in obtaining financing using Bond Anticipation Notes. In addition, staff and the Financial Advisor, Art Diamond of Fishkind and Associates, suggested we use the underwriting firm of Cranston/Prescott since they were instrumental in coming up with the suggestion of using Bond Anticipation Notes. They have indicated that they could do the bond issue for a total underwriters spread (including, takedown, risk, management fee, and expenses) of one percent or less, which is a good rate. Attorney Vitunac explained that the County already has purchased the North Beach Water Company by paying cash from funds on hand in the Utilities Dept. Since Utilities needs the money back, we need a long-term financing mechanism and the recommendation is to issue bond anticipation notes payable in 3-5 years, at which time we will determine the ultimate revenue source. We do know that the revenue is going to be some surcharges and the bond issue could be part of a total program of refinancing the utilities system. Today we are asking that the Board adopt the proposed resolution, which allows us to sell anticipation notes, which is borrowed money. No principal will be repaid until the ultimate bond issue is issued. 40 NOV 8 1988 BOOK 75 PAGE 138 Chairman Scurlock reported that when we went out for proposals, one of the problems we came up with was the cash flow in terms of refunding the entire utilities system. Since FmHA's loan on the Gifford project has not actually been committed, no discount is available. We went through various scenarios, and Prescott, Wall and Turben, Inc. came up with a recommendation to issue bond anticipation notes, which does not attach any specifics other than that -the County -is going•to issue bonds at a future date., With respect to a -3 -year terms versus a 5 -year term, we can extend the 3 -year term by 2 years. County financial adviser Art Diamond pointed out that the other advantage of goingwi=th 'ant i c i pat i on notes i s the fact that ter._ rui �. 1... the Board already has approved the bond resolution and validated the band rest ution. Chuck Sieck, bond counsel from Rhoads & Sinon, has agreed that validation on the notes would not be necessary. The main requirement here is one of time. At one - point, we believed we had the time when we felt that FmHA was going to give us a waiver, and we operated under that understanding. Unfortunately, FmHA did a 180° turn and kind of pushed us into a corner. The other advantage of anticipation notes is that the only security necessary is a permanent bond issue somewhere down the road, either 3 or 5 years. Chairman Scurlock explained that by going with the anticipation notes for 3 or 5 years, we will be_Iooking to FmHA to better define "guaranteed revenue" so that we will be able to take advantage of another discount by FmHA somewhere down the road. Their present definition of "guaranteed revenue" creates a problem for the County to expand its utilities system because they take 11guaranteed revenue" as an all exclusive term. They committed to us at one point that they would get us a letter of comfort saying that surcharges and other charges like impact fees were not a part of guaranteed revenue. However, the counsel out of Atlanta refused to do that, so our flexibility is severely hindered. Our 41 NOV 8 1988 BOOK 75 F,cE 139 approach with the anticipation notes will allow us to build back in our flexibility, and then at the appropriate time get rid of the bond convenants and take advantage of a future discount that will be offered by FmHA. The flexibility will allow us to go ahead in a logical way and expand our utilities system and get the definition to what it should be and what it was really meant to be. In the meantime, the $13 surcharge will cover the interest on the anticipation notes.

We have certain committees that are required to have certain membership compositions, but this particular board does not call out any specific qualifications for members. He felt that two attorneys serving on this board would not be prohibitive. _ THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
