F. Consultant Selection for Comprehensive Plan Project
The Board reviewed memo from the Community Development
Director:
TO: William G. Collins, II
Acting County Administrator
FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP K
Community Development Director
DATE: November 7, 1988
SUBJECT: CONSULTANT SELECTION FOR COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN PROJECT
It is requested that the information herein presented be given
formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
their regular meeting of November 15, 1988.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
Indian River County must submit its revised comprehensive plan,`
meeting 9J-5, FAC requirements, to the state by September_ 1,
1989. To assist the staff in meeting this mandate, the Board of
County Commissioners allocated in its FY88/89 budget $50,000 to
the planning department for comprehensive planning consulting
services.
On September 6, 1988, the Board of County Commissioners approved
the planning department's proposal for using these funds and
authorized the staff to release an RFP. The planning
department's proposal was to select several consulting firms which
would then be contracted to perform specific comprehensive plan
projects. This would eliminate the need to go through the
selection process separately for a number of small projects.
In September, 1988, the staff distributed copies of the RFP to
interested firm. Thirteen of those firms submitted complete
responses. Those firms were:
Jee & Jenson
Harland, Bartholomew & Assocs
Resource Engineering & Planning
KBN Engineering & Applied Sciences
William Bishop Engineering
Transportation Consulting Group
Reynolds, Smith & Hills
Boyle Engineering
Solin & Associates
Geographic Parameters
Briley, Wild & Assocs
The Gosline Company
Gunster, Yoakley, Criser
& Stewart/Urban Design
Studio
On -November 4, 1988, the consultant selection committee, composed
of Commissioner Carolyn Eggert, Bill Collins, Jim Davis and Bob
Keating, met and ranked the submittals.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS:
Because of the broad scope of the comprehensive plan and the
diversity of expertise represented by the firms submitting
proposals, the selection committee decided to rank the firms in
several categories. These were: general planning; transportation
NOV 15 1988
8
mot( 75 F'TE 152
planning; environmental planning; engineering/infrastructure
planning; computer services; and law. While it is not
anticipated that comprehensive plan work activities will require
a consultant in the area of computer services or law, the ranking
of firms in those categories gives the County additional
flexibility.
The selection committee's ra kings were as follows:
General Planning
1. Gee & Jenson
2. Solin & Associates
3. Resource Engineering & Plan.
Transportation Planning
1. Transportation Consulting Group
2. Harland, Bartholomew & Assocs
3. Resource Engineering & Plan.
Environmental Planning
1. KBN Engineering & Applied Sciences
2. William Bishop Engineering
3. Gee & Jenson
Infrastructure/Engineering
1. Gee & Jenson
2. William Bishop Engineering
3. Boyle Engineering (#1 for utilities)
Computer/Geographic Information Systems
1. Geographic Parameters
2. Boyle Engineering
3. Reynolds, Smith & Hills
It is staff's intention to identify comprehensive planning
activities requiring consultant assistance. The staff will then
develop a scope of services for the project, negotiate with the
top ranked firm in the category associated with the project, -and
then bring a proposed contract to the Board of County
Commissioners for approval. It is anticipated that staff will -
request board approval" for several projects in the next few
months.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the
approve the consultant selection

committee's rankings.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the
consultant selection committee's rankings as listed
above.

On October 13, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval of this request.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli-
cation will be presented. The analysis will include a descrip-
tion of the current and future land uses of the site and sur-
rounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and
utility systems, and any -significant adverse impacts on environ-
mental quality.
Existing Land Use Pattern
The subject property is currently vacant and zoned RS -3. The
property east and south of the subject property is also vacant
and zoned RS -3. Immediately north of the subject property across
C.R. 512 is vacant while northwest is a convenience.
store/restaurant/gas station, all zoned CG. To the west is a
R.V. park sales center zoned CG,and southwest is an R.V. park
zoned CRVP, Commercial Recreational Vehicle Park.
Future Land Use Pattern
The subject property and all land north, east, south, and west
lie within the current boundaries of the C.R. 512/2-95
Commercial/Industrial Node.
Transportation System
The site has access to C.R. 512 to the north, 1.08th Avenue to the
west, and 107th Ct. to the east. The county Thoroughfare Plan
designates C.R. 512 as a major arterial, and 108th Avenue and
107th Ct. as local roads. Currently, all roadways are operating
at a level of service "A". This rezoning will not substantially
affect the roadway capacity.

too 75 [iGE158
Environment
The Comprehensive Plan does not designate the subject site as
environmentally sensitive. A portion of this site does lie
within an area subject ,to flooding. Special engineering
practices will be required Itp develop this site.
Utilities
Public water and wastewater facilities are not currently
available in this area.
Conclusion
This site is situated within a commercial/industrial node, and
within an area identified for commercial development. Commercial
development of this property will not cause any substantial
impact to the transportation network or environment. This
request is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the
commercial development policies established by the county.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the analysis performed and the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission, staff recommends that this
request to rezone one acre from RS -3 to CG be approved. _
The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were
none, and he thereupon declared the public hearing closed.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously adopted
Ordinance 88-45 rezoning 1 acre in Vero Lake Estates
on the south side of CR 512 east of 1-95 to CG as
requested by Gary De Shon on behalf of Harbor
Management.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

APPROVAL OF IRC MAIN LIBRARY ARCHITECTURAL CONTRACT
Chairman
The Board reviewed memo from Acting County Administrator
Collins, which recommended that the Board approve the contract
with Dow, Howell, Gilmore Associates, Inc. to be the architects
for the Indian River County Main Library.
Acting Administrator Collins advised that he was passing
around copy of the contract as staff has negotiated it, and the
only terms that may be outstanding now are some of the insurance
requirements, and they are working to resolve those issues. He
advised that the contract is for 6.45% of the construction cost,
and Page 21 of the contract shows the Architect's fee would be
$129,260 broken into 4 or 5 phases. This is very similar to the
contract we executed with Stottler, Stagg for the North County
Library. He recommended the Chairman be authorized to execute
the contract when the insurance provisions are resolved to the
satisfaction of the Risk Manager.
Commissioner Eggert believed that this contract has been
well negotiated by staff.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved
the contract with Dow, Howell, Gilmore Associates,
Inc., and authorized the signature of the Chairman

when the insurance requirements have been resolved
as recommended by the Acting Administrator.
SAID CONTRACT WILL BE MADE A PART OF THE RECORD WHEN FULLY
EXECUTED AND RECEIVED.

PERC RULING ON CWA CHALLENGE TO UNION DE -CERTIFICATION ELECTION
Acting Administrator Collins informed the Board that the
Order issued by PERC (Public Employees Relation Committee), which
we just received yesterday, essentially said that the charges of
the Union were unfounded and upheld the decertification; so, he
now would recommend implementing the salary raises that have been
held up, including retroactive.
Chairman Scurlock wished to state for the record that
basically the Commission over the past number of years has taken
a firm stand on retroactivity in terms of the actual negotiating
process, and he wished to differentiate this particular action
which he felt is merited in that there was a complication here
that was not under the control of the employee. He, therefore,
would support retroactivity in this instance.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized
implementation of the salary and classification study
for the union positions retroactive to when this
was implemented for the remainder of staff.

SEARCH FIRM REPORT RE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR APPLICANTS
James Mercer of Mercer -Slavin informed the Board that they
had over 100 applicants and have screened them down to seven
candidates which they wish to present for consideration:
James Ch-andler;-Hollywood, Fla.
Gregory Fehrenbach, East Brunswick, N.J.
William Furtwangler, Charleston, S.C.
Dora Harrison, Clearwater, Fla.
Craig McDowell, Corpus Christi, Tex.
Alex Muxo, Jr., Homestead, Fla.
Carey F. Smith, Hilton Head Island, S.C.
Mr. Mercer advised that these applicants were screened down
based on the criteria they received from the county at the
beginning of the search process, and in his best professional
judgment, these seven are the best qualified of the group
reviewed. He continued that he would be glad to go over the
background of each applicant briefly if the Board desires as it
is the firm's commitment to work with the Board until the Board
is satisfied with the process.
Chairman Scurlock stated that he would like an opportunity
to review additional resumes beyond the ones submitted as he
would like to compare the grouping we received with a sampling
from the rest of the 100. His other comment was that one of the
suggestions was that we have some kind of joint interview
problem- solving approach, and he, as one Commissioner, did not
particularly care to participate in that; he personally preferred
a one-on-one interview.
Commissioner Eggert noted that she had felt Mercer -Slavin
would put them through that process and then report to us, and
Mr. Mercer confirmed that they basically have done that and then
submitted the seven listed.
Chairman Scurlock stated that he also would like the
opportunity for the Commissioners not only to cull down those
presented, but also to have the ability, when they review some of
the other resumes, to be able to add to the list of those
submitted if they wish.
NOV 151988

Commissioner Eggert commented that she personally would like
to see some of the others who have had more county experience;
there were many who had town and city experience, but didn't seem
to have touched utilities or public works at all.
Commissioner -Bowman dgreed and also felt another valuable
asset would be a person who might have worked in a county having
a committee oriented Commission as we do. She asked how many of
these seven Mr. Mercer interviewed personally.
Mr. Mercer explained that all applicants have been inter-
viewed by a partner of the firm. He personally interviewed five
of the seven presented and probably 12 additional people were
interviewed.
Commissioner Bowman expressed interest in seeing those 12
resumes, and Chairman Scurlock reiterated that while we may want
the opportunity to cull down the 7 presented, he would like any
Commissioner to have the opportunity to look at the rest of the
100 resumes submitted, or as many as they wish, and possibly
suggest adding another to the list.
Mr. Mercer noted that the Board is totally in control of the
decision making process and asked if the Board would like to
think about a date to start doing the interviews.
After further discussion, Chairman Scurlock believed he was
hearing that the Board would like an opportunity to look at the
entire list, do a bit of work on that, and subject to that, then
would be in a position to start the interview process.
Commissioner Bird asked if we are expecting Mr. Mercer to
supply us with copies of the 100 resumes, and Acting Administra-
tor Collins asked if the Commissioners were planning to read all
100 resumes.
Commissioner Bird stated he was not, but the Chairman stated
that he was, and he wanted all 100. Commissioner Bowman sug-
gested we get only the top 50, but Commissioners Eggert and
Wheeler agreed they would like to look through most of them, if
not all.

Acting Administrator Collins commented that he had suggested
that we present the applicants with hypothetical problems so we
can analyze their thought processes and how they handle a
pressure situation.
The Board agreed-tha1'was a useful device.
Mr. Mercer urged the Commission not to elongate this process
too much as time tends to work to your disadvantage. People get
nervous, and he already has had calls from local citizens who
have indicated they want to call all the applicants and tell them
not to come and be interviewed.
Commissioner Wheeler stated that he would like to look at
all the resumes and get started on interviewing at the same time.
He suggested starting with those who are closest.
Commissioner Bird commented that he came to the meeting
today prepared to tear down even the list of seven, and there are
three of those that he wouldn't even care to interview.
Acting Administrator Collins noted that since the Board
meets only once a week, it probably wouldn't hurt to say which
candidates they would consider taking off the list to be
interviewed so the other Commissioners might have some idea of
their thinking.
Commissioner Bird advised that the ones he did not wish to
interview were Mr. Fehrenbach, Ms. Harrison, and Mr. Muxo,
primarily because of their lack of administrative and county
experience.
Chairman Scurlock stated that the only other one he person-
ally would want to eliminate would be James Chandler.
Commissioner Wheeler stated that he would like to interview
Ms. Harrison as he felt she had some very good accomplishments.
Commissioner Bird pointed out that her degree is in
Anthropology, and a great deal of her career was as a teacher.
He believed she is mainly experienced in social services.
The Acting Administrator asked that Mr. Mercer give a
capsule summary of the seven applicants on the list submitted.
NOV 15 1988
21
BOOK 75 DiA165
Mr. Mercer informed the Board that James Chandler has
recently been City Manager of Hollywood, Florida. He believed
most candidates from south Florida are really interested in
getting out of that area.
Gregory Fehrenbach ig•f-rom East Brunswick, N.J., which is a
rapidly growing Township located near Princeton and Rutgers, and
also near the Township of Ocean, which is a very affluent suburb.
Mr. Mercer noted that while Mr. Fehrenbach does come from a
smaller jurisdiction, he is very competent and respected by his
peers.
Commissioner Wheeler questioned the fact that some of the
candidates have made higher salaries than we are offering.
Mr. Mercer confirmed that they all understand the salary
range, and there are any number of reasons why they are
interested. Craig McDowell, for instance, earned $94,000 as City
Manager of Corpus Christi, Texas, and was asked to resign
basically for political reasons; there was no reflection on his
technical qualifications. He was there for 2 to 3 years and also
was county manager of Pima County, Arizona, for a long period of
time; he is now a consultant.
Commissioner Eggert asked if a resume doesn't state they are
married and have a family whether we should assume they don't.
Mr. Mercer noted that is a difficult question to ask now
because it is discriminatory to some degree. He did confirm that
they have done a rather substantive amount of background checks
on all of these individuals, but they are ready and willing to do
further checks if the Board desires.
Mr. Mercer continued that William Furtwangler has most
recently been County Administrator of Charleston County, S.C. He
has spent most of his career in that particular jurisdiction, and
he also has coastal management experience.
Dora Harrison is in Pinellas County on the west coast of
Florida, a large urban county. Mr. Mercer emphasized that
although it is true her experience has been more on the social
22
N O V 15 1988
POOK 75 O E 166
services side of the ledger, Ms. Harrison is very competent or
she wouldn't be included in their report .
Craig McDowell was City Manager of Corpus Christi, Texas,
from 1986 to 1988 and was county manager of Pima County, Arizona,
as mentioned before. Mr. Mercer noted that he is always hesitant
presenting people who are presently out of work, but you sort
backgrounds to see who meets the criteria best and then see what
the circumstances are.
Alex Muxo, Jr., presently City Manager of Homestead, Fla.,
certainly understands Florida Planning Growth Management
legislation. Last is Carey Smith, Town Manager of Hilton Head
Island, S.C., who also has coastal experience although it is a
smaller jurisdiction.
Chairman Scurlock asked if in the 100 resumes, they had
anyone with private business experience, and this was confirmed.
Commissioner Wheeler stated that he would be particularly
interested in those in the private sector in management
positions.
Mr. Mercer agreed that he would supply the Board with the
additional resumes.
Commissioner Bird hoped to receive the resumes before next
week's meeting and at that meeting try to schedule interviews.
Discussion ensued in regard to having the candidates go
through a problem solving process, and the Chairman didn't think
it would work to parade all of them before the Commission.
Mr. Mercer noted that because of the Sunshine Law, the Board
must either do a one-on-one interview or have a presentation to
the full Commission. That could be done in addition to the one-
on-one interviews, and thirdly, they can give them a problem to
work on and come back with their solution so the Board can see
the result.
Commissioner Bird expressed his interest in giving them a
common problem; doing the one-on-one interviews, and then have
them come before the Commission and give their solution to the
23
NOV 1 5 1988
BOOK 75 I',geE 1G7
problem within a set time frame. This, of course, would be done
without the others hearing their solution.
Discussion continued in regard to getting the resumes,
presenting a problem, possibly centered in Planning where it ties
into Public Works -and Utitit-ies, possibly considering other
candidates and then short listing, setting up interviews, etc.
Mr. Mercer agreed to get the resumes to the Board before
next week's meeting.

G
FROM: Cheri Boudreaux REFERENCES:
Staff Planner
It is requested that the data herein provided be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regularly scheduled meeting of November 15, 1988.
DESCRIPTIONS & CONDITIONS
The County Planning Department is requesting approval of the
Comprehensive Bikeway and Sidewalk Plan for the unincorporated
county. This plan was coordinated with the county public works
department, as well as with each unincorporated municipality
through a Joint City/County Bike Path Commission.
The
the
30,
the
Joint City/County Bike Path Commission unanimously approved
final draft of the plan with minor changes at their August
1988 meeting. The Parks and Recreation Committee reviewed
plan at their September 8, 1988 meeting.
The final draft of the plan was approved by the Transportation
Planning Committee at their September 14, 1988 meeting. Also;
the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 13, 1988 approved
the plan for final adoption by the Board of County Commissioners.
The plan contains the following major components:
°Executive Summary
°Introduction

BOOK

°Definitions
°Existing Conditions
°Goals, Objectives and Policies
°Bicycle/Bikeway System Plan
°Pedestrian/Sidewalk System Plan
°Implementation Program
ANALYSIS
Even though the plan is for areas in the unincorporated county
only, the comprehensive nature of the plan benefits the county as
a whole.
As a first step in developing the plan, background information in
the existing conditions section was gathered on roadway character-
istics, accident history, and socio-economic characteristics.
After analysis of the data, the goals, objectives and policies of
the plan were developed.
Using the data from the existing. conditions and following the
direction of the goals, objectives and policies, separate systems
for bikeways and sidewalks were developed. The bikeway system is
a series of designated bikeway corridor routes which connect
major residential, commercial and recreational areas. The routes
were developed through an analysis of the existing conditions
data which resulted in the development of several bikeway
corridor route alternatives. These alternatives were based on
criteria such as accessibility, safety and costs of bikeway
facilities.
The bikeway and sidewalk system plans differ in the respect that
the bikeway system encompasses only major roadways and -the
sidewalk system deals with both major and local -roadways. Both
system plans indicate the roadway segments, location, design,
timing and responsibility for constructing bikeway and/or
sidewalk facilities.
Also, an implementation program for constructing sidewalk and/or
bikeway facilities was developed. The two components of
implementation are regulation and capital improvements
programming.
The bikeway and sidewalkcapital improvement program identifies
and prioritizes six projects for implementation by the county
within the next five years. The entire plan will be reviewed on
an annual basis)and proposed changes will be considered at that
time.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
approve and adopt the county's Comprehensive Bikeway and Sidewalk
Plan.
Commissioners Eggert and Bowman proposed a Motion to adopt a
Resolution approving the Comprehensive Bikeway & Sidewalk Plan as
presented.
Chairman Scurlock wished to discuss the bikeway routes
proposed on the following map:

The Chairman noted that he looked at the routes proposed on
53rd Street and 41st St., and they seemed reasonable, but when he
gets to 16th Street, he has numerous questions. First of all,
16th Street has an alignment problem at King's Highway where it
narrows at the bridge; then Ajogs and goes over to the Junior
College. It is unpaved for part of the following segment; then
narrows again at the next relief canal where it proceeds on
behind Lake in the Woods and Buddy Tipton's church and then ends
at 74th Avenue, and he did not believe we even have R/W from that
point on. The Chairman understood the principle of not wanting a
bike path on a major road, but noted that realistically we have a
hard time coming up with the money for a bike path in the first
place, and he is concerned about "pie in the sky." It is all
groves out there; the development is not occurring; and he has
some real concern about putting 16th Street on this Plan. Route
60 is a very active area with the potential of a regional mall,
and he wished to know what is wrong with Route 60, which is a
gateway to our county.
Director Keating felt those are good points, and believed
another thing the Chairman brought up is the fact that we shortly
will have the application for the mall's D.R.I. and whether or
not that is approved is something that wasn't even under consid-
eration when all the information was collected. He thought the
decision the committee made on staff's recommendation not to have
the bike path on Route 60 particularly east of King's Highway was
a good one because of the various constraints. He suggested that
what the Board may want to do is jog it up to 60 either at 43rd
Avenue, or because Route 60 still has constraints during that
segment, have it proceed on 16th to King's Highway and then jog
over to Route 60 at that point.
Commissioner Bird agreed that King's Highway makes sense.
He realized we do have some restrictions on 16th between 43rd
Avenue and King's Highway, but felt that the 43rd Avenue and
Route 60 intersection is much too congested already. Then, if we
27
NOV 15 1988
POOK 75 NE171
acquire more R/W on 16th in the future, we could add a bikeway
there at that time.
Motion was made by Commissioner Eggert, seconded by Commis-
sioner Bowman, to -adopt Resolution -88-121 accepting the Compre-
hensive Bikeway & Sidewalk Plan as the County's official plan
with the amendment of a jog from 16th Street to Route 60 along
King's Highway and then continue west on Route 60 to 1-95.
Commissioner Bird wished to know where we go from here
with the plan, who is going to pay for the improvements, etc.
Staff Planner Cheri Boudreaux explained that the implementa-
tion program requires two parts - one is by regulation through
our existing ordinances, i.e., when developers come in, they will
be required to put in either a bike path or the necessary
improvements that are approved and adopted with this plan. The
other method of implementation is actually having the county have
the responsibility to go in and put in the necessary sidewalks or
bike paths.
Chairman Scurlock believed the county really needs to set
aside some amount of funds and start moving ahead towards this
implementing this plan.
Commissioner Eggert advised that she is getting many calls
from people who live on South A -1-A regarding a bike path, and
she personally, after having the bike path through Indian River
Shores which is shared by bikers and walkers, was not as
concerned about getting sidewalks on A -1-A as she is about
getting bike paths.
Chairman Scurlock agreed that A -1-A should be a priority
along with a link to the mainland from A -1-A.
Chairman Scurlock continued to discuss developing a corridor
down Route 60 that would jog over to the 17th Street Bridge and
connect with A -1-A, and Public Works Director Davis noted that
there is an 8' shoulder on the 17th Street Bridge.
N O V 15 1988
28
BOOK 75 MI 172
Commissioner Bowman pointed out that your priorities depend
on what part of the county you live in. She has had calls about
a bikeway on Roseland Road.
Director Davis reported that we will be implementing an 8'
4
wide bike path down CR 51.2lalong with the 512 project and the
funding is in place for that.
Commissioner Bird believed that the development and adoption
of a master plan is a major step. He noted that we have a joint
city/ county committee that has been working on this plan. This
plan sets up the major corridors, but there is a lot of in -fill
that will have to be done as bike paths are needed to connect to
some of these arterials, and he wished to know if that committee
is going to be a continuing committee which can set priorities
and recommend them back to the Board so that as funds are
available, the in -fill can be completed.
Director Keating felt that is pretty much up to the
committee itself, but he would recommend it stay formed and look
at the plan on an annual basis, especially since he seems to be
hearing that the Board's priorities may be leaning more towards
bikeways than sidewalks.
Commissioner Bowman wished to know what kind of money we are
talking about in the 5 year implementation plan.
Director Davis explained that the funding for the plan is
dovetailed with the capital road plan, and actually, that is the
only funding we have at this time. There have been some work-
shops between Planning and Public Works and developers, who have
been trying to wrestle with the R/W problem and how we purchase
R/W where traffic impact fee credits are not attributable. The
latest concept has been perhaps setting up some districts that
coincide with the traffic impact fee districts and levying a
special assessment in each of the 9 districts to purchase R/W.
Maybe we could dovetail our advance R/W acquisition program with
the bikeway program. He personally would recommend that and felt
it would be more palatable to the voters.

Commissioners Eggert and Bowman repeated and added to the
Motion on the floor as follows:
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissione-r Bowmari,•-to adopt Resolution 88-121 accept-
ing the Comprehensive Bikeway & Sidewalk Plan as the
County's official plan with the amendment of a jog from
16th Street to Route 60 along King's Highway and then
continue west to 1-95 and also to direct that the priority
list continue to be re -reviewed by the Bikeway Committee
in view of the really specific needs in different areas.
Commissioner Bird wished to know just what we have pro-
grammed this year, and Director Keating explained that in this
plan everything was programmed realizing that budgeting had
already occurred for the present fiscal year.
Public Works Director Davis reported that this week we are
about 50% complete on the sidewalks to Highlands Elementary
School and are moving fairly quickly on the 8th Street sidewalk
from 43rd Avenue to Glendale along with the improvements at that
intersection. The other project under way is the CR 512 project
which is in engineering, and there will be a bike path along that
project. Also, tomorrow he is going to Atlanta to talk to the
EPA about Phase III of the Boulevard Extension; there will be 4'
shoulders on both Phase 111 and IV, but that won't be implemented
this year. Director Davis explained that any time we build a
major road, we are providing bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUEST[ON.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE & NECESSITY FOR
ON CALL AMBULANCE COMPANY
The Board reviewed memo from the Director of Emergency
Management:
TO: William Collins
Acting County Administrator
FROM: Doug Wright, Director
Emergency Management Services
DATE: November 7, 1988
SUBJECT: Revocation of Certificate
of Public Convenience and Neces-
sity for On Call Ambulance Com-
pany, Inc.
It is respectfully recommended that the information contained herein
be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
the next regular scheduled meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
On May 10, 1988, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners
approved a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for On Call.
Ambulance Company, Inc. of Port St. Lucie, Florida, for EMS non -emergency
interfacility transport service.
On October 29, 1988, Indian River County was advised that Atlantic Ambn--
lance Services of P. O. Box 100579, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was purchas-
ing the assets of On Call Ambulance Company, Inc., on November 7, 1988.
Since the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity is not trans-
ferable, the issue of revocation is now before the Board of County Commis-
sioners.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
On Call Ambulance Company, Inc. has never notified the EMS Director that
the assets of the company were about to be purchased by another entity.
Further, Indian River Memorial -Hospital has reported to the EMS Director
that on a recent occasion that On Call Ambulance Company failed to respond
to a request for an interfacility transfer.
A letter has been written to On Call Ambulance Company, Inc., advising
that the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity issued to the
provider on May 10, 1988, would be recommended for revocation on the
basis that the service and assets were being sold. A letter was also
sent to Atlantic Ambulance Services advising that the Certificate issued
to On Call Ambulance Company, Inc. would not transfer as an asset wherein
they could provide EMS non -emergency interfacility transport service
under color of the previous certificate.
An application and information relative to the certificate process has
been forwarded to Atlantic Ambulance Services. If an application is
received it will be handled routinely with input from the Emergency
Services Coordinating Council as to the need for the additional services.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
issued to On Call Ambulance Company, Inc. be revoked and authorize the
EMS Director to communicate with and inform company officials of the
revocation terminating further authority for the company to provide EMS
non -emergency interfacility transport service in Indian River County.

Commissioner Bowman commented that a letter apparently has
been written to the ambulance company, but the memo doesn't say
when it went out or whether a return receipt was requested. She
asked how we know they ever got the notice.
Emergency ManagementDi-rector'Wright believed the letter was
sent on October 29th. He advised that the sale was consummated
on November 7th. Mr. Levy has had adequate time to respond, but
he has been avoiding Mr. Wright's phone calls and letter, and Mr.
Wright did not think Mr. Levy wants to respond.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously revoked
the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
for On Call Ambulance Company, Inc.
PETITION PAVING - 2Ist AVE. & 22nd AVE. SOUTH OF 4TH STREET
Director Davis reviewed the following:

FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. CI
PublicWorks Directo
SUBJECT: Petition Paving 21st Avenue and 22nd Avenue
South of 44th Street
DATE: November 7, 1988
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Public Works Department and Ronald Mitchell (VISA Building
Corp.) have cooperatively participated in thepaving of 21st
Avenue and 22nd Avenue south of 4th Street. The construction was
accelerated since Mr. Mitchell was developing a nearby
subdivision. In order to expedite the work, Mr. Mitchell agreed
to contract with Pan American Engineering Corp. for furnishing
marl to bring the existing roads to final grade. This was agreed
to by Public Works only if the cost did not exceed the amount
that this would would usually cost the County, which was
$4,277.50. Pan American Engineering and the County have
completed the work, and Pan American is requesting payment of the
$4,277.50.
NOV 151988
33
BOOK 75 w_iE.177
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Since Mr. Mitchell was under contract with Pan American
Engineering, this work was not competitively bid. The County did
have bids received for this work recently, and the price bid is
the same as the cost that Pan American Engineering is charging.
RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING
It is recommended that the Board approve the $4,277.50 payment to
Pan American Engineering for subgrade marl. Funding to be from
Petition Paving account 173-214-541-035.39 (Paving materials).
Director Davis informed the.Board that the only direct
payment not under county contract was this $4,277, and staff will
bring the final assessment roll to the Board shortly.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved the
payment of $4,277.50 to Pan American Engineering for
subgrade marl as recommended by staff.

DATE: November 2, 1988
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Construction of the bridge required an increase in the quantity
of sand cement rip -rap request for the project. The cause of the
increase was an error in the Engineer's Estimate of quantities
because of inadequate survey data under the old structure.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The Alternatives are as follows:

BOOK 71 FAL:1278
Alternative No. 1
Authorize the Chairman to execute the Change Order for
installation of the needed material. The cost of this
alternative is a $4,100 increase in the project cost.
Alternative No. 2
Complete the bridge with less than needed rip -rap protection
of banks. This alternative could result in increased
maintenance over the life of the project and possibly
shorten the useful life gran of the bridge.
RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING
The staff recommends that Alternative No. 1 be approved. Fund is
from Road & Bridge Fund 111-214-541-066.51.
Construction progress indicates at this time that even with this
change it is still possible to complete the project within the
original contract price of $269,233.44.

STAFFING OF SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT
County Attorney Vitunac reviewed the following, noting that
a question was raised regarding the fact that the Board never has
officially determined who the staff will be for the SWDD. This
memo lays out the-Board's'prerogatives:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
r)/U
FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County.Attorney
DATE: November 7, 1988
RE: STAFFING OF SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT (SWDD)
At the November 1, 1988, Board of County Commissioners'
Meeting, several commissioners asked questions concerning
the organizational chart of the SWDD and, in particular,
asked whether the employees of the District reported through
the County Administrator. I indicated that that was a
decision which had to be made by the Board of Commissioners
of the Solid Waste Disposal District.
The County created the SWDD by ordinance approved by the
five municipalities in Indian River County, pursuant to
§125.01(5)(a), Florida Statutes. Concerning the
organization of the District, the County ordinance reads as
follows:
"Section 4, Powers of SWDD. The SWDD shall have all
powers necessary and incident to accomplishing the
purpose of the District, which power shall include the
power to hire, fire, and set compensation of
employees..."
It is legally possible for the District to hire its own
staff independent of the County's staff. Likewise it is
permissible for the District to contract with the County
to use County staff to perform the functions of the
District. The District may hire a SWDD Administrator to
report directly to the SWDD Commissioners or it may
authorize the County Administrator to perform that function.
If the County staff is used, the County must be reimbursed
by some formula which ensures that revenue and charges are
kept separate vis-a-vis the County -District distinction.
Presently a General and Administrative Charge of 11.51% of
gross salaries has been budgeted in the 1988/89 fiscal year.
The Board can make its decision concerning how to organize
the District by motion at any regular meeting of the SWDD
and the BCC.

Attorney Vitunac informed the Board that right now the
regular County Utilities staff is working through Mr. Collins and
eVA V ¢Admor4rci!r ve
reporting to the Board and being charged a G&A charge of around
11%.
Commissioner -Wheeler expressed his feeling that we should
continue going to the Administrator; he could not see fragmenting
our administration structure.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously agreed to
continue with the current process of using county
staff reporting through Director Pinto to the County
Administrator.
LETTER OF CREDIT POLICY FOR DOCKS
Attorney Vitunac made the following presentation:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Qp..Lae.czeui2,„,to,
FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney
DATE: November 7, 1988
RE: LETTER OF CREDIT POLICY FOR DOCKS
For some time now the Board of County Commissioners has had
a policy, adopted by ordinance, of allowing boat docks to be
built on empty waterfront lots on condition that the
builder -owner give the County a letter of credit conditioned
upon proper use of the dock. Failure to properly use the
dock would allow the County to cash the letter of credit and
use the money to remove the dock.
This policy is a tremendous drain on the resources of County
staff in preparing and tracking numerous -letters of credit
for what might be small gain to the public welfare. At the
October 17, 1988, meeting of the department heads under -
William G. Collins, II,. Acting County Administrator, it was
agreed that the County Attorney's Office should bring this
matter to the attention of the Board of County Commissioners
for a possible change in this policy.
41
N O V 15 1988
F' •y fi
[kV5 mE185
Alternatives are as follows:
1. Keep the present policy.
2. Allow no boat docks until principal use is built.
3. Allow boat docks to be built but not used until the
principal use is built.
4. Allow boat docjks as a permitted use.
Staff recommends Alternative #4. This is the same procedure
which has been used by the by the City of Vero Beach for
several years and seems to work well.
This matter is brought before the Board for direction.
Chairman Scurlock referred to the concern that has been
expressed by residents that people would build docks and put a
boat there and never build a house.
Commissioner Bird asked if there are a lot of these vacant
lot docks in existence, and Acting Administrator Collins
confirmed that there are, and everyone causes major paperwork
with multiple letters back and forth to the banks on each letter
of credit. He advised that the primary problem is that even
though they are called irrevocable letters of credit, the banks
put a date on them when their exposure ends, generally one year.
Our ordinance, however, calls for the letter of credit to
continue until the person builds the residence, and there is no
way to tell when someone is going to build.
Chairman Scurlock did not believe we wanted it to be
convenient for people to build docks without houses.
Commissioner Wheeler personally felt strongly that anyone
owning such property should be able to build a dock, and he did
not see that there is any problem with a vacant lot having a dock
and a boat being tied there. You just can't use it as a
commercial enterprise.
Chairman Scurlock did not agree; he felt we must protect the
residents in the area, but Commissioner Wheeler believed we have
ordinances that protect the residents.
Commissioner Eggert also did not like the idea of vacant
Lots with boat docks nor did Commissioner Bowman, and Chairman
NOV 15 1988
42
Roo 75 DGE186
Scurlock noted that the owner could have a big party on his boat
and have people parking in the vacant lot every weekend.
Commissioner Wheeler pointed out that you can have a big
party weekly and many people parking on your property even when
there is a residence -on tlio -lot. He felt that anyone who can
afford a waterfront lot and a dock in this county will take care
of their property, the dock, and the boat, and Acting Administra-
tor Collins believed a lot of these are located in The Moorings,
and other restricted communities.
Attorney Vitunac informed the Board that his office gets
calls frequently from people having difficulties with the
required bond. He stressed that the purpose of the bond is to be
able to tear down the dock in case of improper use of the dock,
but questioned if we really are going to take out a brand new
dock because of a party. Putting in docks and then subsequently
tearing them out certainly doesn't benefit the environment, and
there are other enforcement mechanisms.
Community Development Director Keating advised that the
docks have to be approved as an administrative permit use, and
they also need state agency approvals.
Argument pro and con continued at length.
Dock builder and contractor, William Gardener, believed that
one thing that hasn't been mentioned is that 4-5 years ago it was
legal to build a dock on a vacant lot in the county and not in
the city, and it is interesting how this has changed back and
forth. Over the last few years, he has bui-It 18 vacant lot
docks, ail located in The Moorings, most of them being in The
Anchor. People owning property in that area have spent a lot of
money for their lots, and they are very concerned that they won't
be able to build a dock when it comes time for them to retire and
build their homes there. Of course, there is some speculation
out there, and they are also concerned about protecting their
access to the water and protecting their investment.
43
INOV 15 11988
°CCK F8 �5 fr,:l7E 187
Chairman Scurlock commented that the real reason we got into
this was that the state was talking about limiting docks because
of concern about the river, and now people are trying to vest
their interest and build a dock before building docks is outlawed
G
P
completely.
Commissioner Wheeler expressed his belief that it is the
smaller boats which are kept on trailers that cause most of the
problems in the river, not the larger boats which sit at the
docks and are rarely used.
Mr. Gardener stated that he was not aware of any problems or
complaints ever caused by the docks he has built. He believed
the people owning property in The Anchor part of The Moorings
were concerned about their particular environment, and they
helped draft the ordinance which included a $5,000 bond. He
personally felt that amount was too high, and advised that he has
torn docks down for 1O% of their value if he could keep the
materials. He agreed that it is a tremendous drain of man hours
for the county staff to process all the paperwork involved.
Chairman Scurlock noted that we would have to have a public
hearing to amend our policy and amend the ordinance; so we can't
take any action on this today.
Attorney Vitunac noted that he asked for direction and after
receiving the Board's direction, he would bring back the
appropriate ordinance.
Commissioner Bird wondered how many vacant Tots are left in
The Moorings that don't already have a dock, and Mr. Gardener
felt probably 50 or 60.
Considerable discussion ensued regarding the amount of the
bond, and the possibility of making it a smaller amount and
having a cash bond. Mr. Gardener stressed that the average dock
he is building costs $4-5,000, and he can tear it down for 10% of
that if he is allowed to keep the material.
Various alternatives were discussed, and Chairman Scurlock
suggested reducing the fee to $1,500 and requiring cash.
N O V 15 1988
44 BOOK 75 FAGEl88
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commis-
sioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized staff
to advertise a public hearing to consider amending
the ordinance by reducing the fee required to $1,500
and requiring -cash'.'
Mr. Gardener asked if the Board could consider reducing the
level of permit on this from a minor site plan to administrative
approval, which would speed up the process and lighten the load
for the Planning Department, but Director Keating explained that
the reason it is in there as an administrative permit is so we
have the ability to put the extra requirement on the posting of
the bond, and he felt it almost has to stay the way it is.
PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE REPORT
Commissioner Bird went over the following summary:
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE
SUMMARY OF ACTIONS
NOVEMBER 10, 1988
During the 11/10/88 Parks and Recreation Committee meeting, the
following actions were recommended to the Board:
1) Mini -car Track at Fairground
Mr. Upton wants to renew his lease and appoint Paul McCall
to manage the track for him. The Committee unanimously
agreed that they did not think the lease should be renewed
with Mr. Upton.
2) Round Island Park
The Committee recommended that gates be installed to secure
the park at sundown. They also recommended that poles and
cables be installed to keep 4 -wheel drive vehicles out of
the park at night.
3) Dale Wimbrow Park
It has been requested that swings be installed at Dale
Wimbrow Park. Pegi Wilkes will investigate the cost of
swings and report back to the Committee at the next meeting.
4) GDC request to donate park site to.County at Vero Beach
Highlands
The Committee recommended that the County Commission
encourage GDC to develop the property as a recreation space
45
NOV 15 1988
BOOK
75 F'.GE189
for the subdivision, and for them to retain ownership and
maintenance of the property.
5) South County Park property
Mr. Ansin has apparently changed his attitude in regard to
selling the County the land fronting on Oslo Road for a
South County Park. itl*as suggested that Jim Davis and
Commissioner Bird make a trip to Miaini°if necessary to talk
to Mr. Ansin.
In regard to Item 1.- Mini -Car Racetrack, Commissioner Bird
advised that the committee wrote the present leaseholder that
they had decided to recommend not to renew his lease but seek new
proposals, but that he could submit if he wished. He further
informed the Board that the present owner is not even in this
area; he wants to hire a manager to handle this locally. His
present performance record is very poor, however, and as far as
the committee is concerned, he is an undesirable tenant.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com
missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously declared
the mini -car track facility at the Fairgrounds
available for lease and authorized staff to begin
negotiations with some new operators.
Item 2. - Round Island Park, Commissioner Bird informed the
Board that Parks Superintendent Rex Hailey already has a crew
working on securing the park.
Discussion ensued regarding the status of Sebastian Inlet
State Park, and Commissioner Bird reported that we have gotten
maps from the State which delineate the area. He had believed
the best option for the county would be for residents not to have
a fee, but he has been informed the state absolutely cannot do
that; they have an opinion from the State's Attorney that county
residents must be charged alike at all state parks. If county
residents can't have free admission, he would at least like to be
assured that the money received will be used at the park, and he
NOV 151988
46
BOOK
75 FACE 190
believed they will agree to do that. He has asked if there is
some kind of document we could enter into to bind the state to
make sure the fees stay there if we give up our deed restriction,
and Representative Patchett seemed to think there is something
f
the Legislature can draw up.
ON THE MARION FELL LIBRARY
Commissioner Eggert reviewed the following, noting that she
just wanted the Board to be aware of the marvelous job they are
doing at the Marion Fell Library:

SUBJECT: Marion Fell Library
A very special need is being filled in Fellsmere by the
presence of the Marion Fell Library. In addition to very
successful children's programs, the availability of Adult New
Reader books at the library is increasing the success of the
Adult Literacy services in the North County area.
Lynn Walsh and her staff and all those involved in the Adult
Literacy services should be commended. An increase of 523% in
circulation of Adult New Reader books over the same period last
year speaks well of the success of the program.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Com-
