F. Budget Amendment 082 - Tourist Tax
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/12/89:
TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners
DATE: June 12, 1989
SUBJECT: BUDGET AMENDMENT 082 -
TOURIST TAX
CONSENT AGENDA
FROM: Joseph A. Baird
OMB Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In order to initially implement the Tourist Tax, a two year budget had to
be developed outlining the proposed uses of this new source of revenue.
This budget, which began April 1, 1987 and ended March 31, 1989, does not
conincide with the county's fiscal year (October 1 to September 30). The
Tourist Tax Committee did not wish to develop a budget for the last six
months of fiscal 1989 until they had had an opportunity to evaluate the
original two year budget. In their meeting of May 17, 1989, the
committee proposed the following budget for the period April 1 -
September 30, 1989.
DISTRICT I
City of Vero Beach
Emergency Dune and Park Restoration
South Beach Lifeguard Tower
_ Re -deck Boardwalk at South Beach
Beach Park Maintenance
Arts Council
Fourth of July Extravaganza
Operating Expense
Chamber of Commerce
Operating Expense

$55,500 $1551500
$ 5,000
7.500 $ 12,500
$ 7,500 $ 7.500
$175,500
There were no recommendations because District II's revenues
had not met expectations. The committee decided to let the
money accumulate, for use in the 1989/90 fiscal year budget.
On May 22, 1989 the Board of County Commissioners approved the Tourist
Tax committee report as outlined above.
REION
Staff recommends that the Board of County
Tourist Tax committee's proposed uses of the
last six months of the 1988/89 fiscal year,
amendment appropriating these monies.
Commissioners approve the
Tourist Tax funds for the

STOCKADE/WORK PROGRAM PROPOSAL
Boos 77 mAV
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/6/89:
TO: James Chandler
County Administrator
FROM: Doug Wright, Director
Emergency Management Services
DATE: June 6, 1989
SUBJECT: STOCKADE/WORK PROGRAM PROPOSAL
It is respectfully requested that the information contained
herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at the meeting scheduled for June 20, 1989.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In the memo prepared and dated April 13, 1989, cost estimates
were provided to the Correctional Planning Committee as relate
to the construction, operation, and staffing of two separate
stockade type structures on property to be purchased adjacent
to the current detention facility. Included in the proposal
were funds for a structured work program to be implemented in
the County.
Staff visited the Polk County Detention Facility on May 18,
.a 1989, which has a Stockade and Work Program which includes a
`=�?- farm type operation to produce vegetables and other provisions
for the inmate population. Until approximately six months ago,
wdx.Polk.County operated a stockade program off site from the main
detention facility. When the new detention facility was
constructed, Polk County officials determined that the Work
Release Program would be incorporated on site at the main
facility. What Polk County has done is build a similar facility
as Indian River County built in Phase II of the County Jail and
the Work Program is operated out of this structure.
Subsequent to the visit to the Polk County Detention Facility,
staff met with Commission Chairman Gary Wheeler to convey
information regarding the Stockade/Work Program. It was agreed
and the Commission Chairman felt that a trial period for the
work program would be beneficial to assess the benefits and
determine if temporary or additional long term facilities
should be constructed. It is felt that the work Program can be
implemented at this time with current facilities by making
available certain sections of Phase II of the Indian River
County Jail for inmates assigned to the work release program.
It is anticipated that 10-15 minimum custody inmates will be
involved in the start-up with any increase in numbers occurring
as is determined feasible. The Sheriff and his staff has indi-
cated support for this proposal and will direct and operate the
work release program.
It is anticipated that funding in the amount of $135,200 would
be required to implement the work release program. This
includes the following:
18
STAFFING -
Three (3) Correctional Officer positions assigned to
the Work Program at an estimated $25,000 each which
includes benefits for a total of approximately
$$ 75,000
75,000.
SUPPORT EQUIPMENT - Equipment to support the work release program
is anticipated as follows:
Vehicle (2 ton truck chasis)
Security enclosure
Tools - work equipment

For fiscal year 1988-89, funding in the amount of $66,950 would
be required to implement the program. The estimated budget for
the period July 1, 1989 to September 30, 1989 is attached
hereto.
Funding in the amount of $68,250 would be required to continue
the program for the nine month period in fiscal year 1989-90,
which would be the time frame of October 1, 1989 to June 30,
1990. The estimated budget for the period indicated is also
.:.:.attached hereto for reference.
Indian River County should and will realize a monetary value
from the proposed work Program. Twelve (12) inmates working
eight (8) hours per day, five (5) days per week in the program
will provide a total of 480 man hours per week at the minimum
value of $5.00 per hour. The County should recognize a benefit
of $2,400 per week or $124,800 per year. If the total net
value for one year ($124,800) is subtracted from the total
costs ($135,200) the net costs to the County is $10,400. This
certainly provides the taxpayer some return on funds expended.
The proposal is predicated on the timely and immediate approval
of the Board of County Commissioners authorizing staff to
proceed to request bids for construction of Phase III of the
Indian River County Jail. Although the construction period
will be in the range of eighteen months, the work release
program will be reviewed in twelve months to determine if con-
struction of the stockade facility is feasible and necessary.
Close monitoring of the inmate population will continue in an
effort to prevent further litigation with the Florida
Department of Corrections.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The concept of this proposal is for an evaluation process of
the Stockade/Work Program prior to the expenditure of funds for
the physical structures alluded to in earlier documents.
Phase II of the Indian River County Jail was intended and
constructed for use in a Work Release Program. However, the
facility had to be utilized to house inmates with classifica-
tions higher than minimum in order to manage the inmate popu-
lation when overpopulation exceeded approved levels established
by the Department of Corrections. The change in use precluded
the facility from being utilized for the intended purpose.

If inmate population levels do not stabilize, there is the
potential that some inmates may have to be housed in St. Lucie
County. Information provided by Circuit Judge Charles E. Smith
in his correspondence dated May 22, 1989, allude to over 200
beds being available in the St. Lucie County Detention
Facility. It is also felt that additional county probation
officers would benefit the County in assisting the Sheriff- in --
managing the inmate population.
The intent of the Stockade Program is to house additional
inmates that should be incarcerated rather than being released
on the streets, often committing additional crimes to provide
funds for a developed chemical dependency. The Stockade
Program envisions counseling and rehabilitation therapy as
tools to assist inmates with dependency on various chemicals
while attempting to instill some degree of- work ethic in the
individual. These programs would occur at night and on
weekends for inmates identified with these problems.
With the support of Sheriff Dobeck and his staff, ample space
will be made available in Phase II of the County Jail for the
Work Release pilot program to be initiated. A review of the
program will occur in twelve months and a comprehensive
recommendation after input from all parties will be made to the
Board of County Commissioners at that time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Correctional Planning Committee
recommend to the Board of County Commissioners the following
actions:
1. Authorize the staff to proceed immediately to request bids
for the construction of Phase III of the Indian River
County Jail;
2. Approve funding in the amount of $135,200 from General
Fund Contingencies for the Sheriff to implement a Work
Release Program as outlined above; and
3. Review the Work Program in twelve months to evaluate it
and the potential for construction/expansion of current or
additional facilities for minimum/medium custody inmates.
This approach is the most feasible in order to determine the
long range benefits anticipated and provide input as to how
future funds may best be utilized to maximize effectiveness.
The recommended funding will provide an environment wherein an
inmate can avail himself of extra gain time, establish a work
ethic, and receive counseling and therapy treatment to begin
the process to rid himself/herself of chemical dependency if
the desire to do so prevails. In any case, the Stockade/Work
Release Program will remove some individuals from the streets
and with the support of the County and Circuit Court Judges, it
is anticipated that program results will reflect a positive
impact beneficial to the community as a whole.

Commissioner Bird asked if the main objective in spending
this $135,000 is to relieve the overcrowding at the Jail, but
Chairman Wheeler advised that the opinion is that we need some
sentencing alternatives for the Judges to try to correct some of
these problems. Ultimately it might relieve the overcrowding,
but the problem is that we are functioning as a state prison with
the total costs being paid by the county.
Commissioner Bird asked what benefits would be derived from
this program, and Chairman Wheeler explained that it costs
21
JUN 2
1989 BOOK 17 Fro c'u
BOOK 77 F,�IJE 121
approximately $20,000-$30,000 per bed to keep someone in jail for
one year, and you are looking at $300,000-$400,000 a year to have
them on the streets with all the crime that is committed. He
believed we have a responsibility to the community to see that
these people are in jail; unfortunately, they are not being put
in jail all over the state because of overcrowding. Our
long-range plans for the overcrowding problem is to build Phase
Doug Wright, Director of Emergency Management Services,
noted that we can show, even though it is soft money, that there
is some benefit back to the taxpayers of this county to have
10-15 inmates working everyday on road projects. In addition
there is the benefit of having them attend the drug treatment and
counseling sessions in the evenings. The prisoners also would be
gaining additional gain time.
Commissioner Bird felt the key to the success of this
program would be good organization and supervision.
Chairman Wheeler confirmed that they will be very closely
supervised. Further, they must be classified to get into this
program. The trend in the programs we have looked at is that
they have a waiting list of inmates who want to get into these
programs because they get additional gain time for working.
There is incentive. The participating inmates must be sentenced
prisoners, not those just waiting for trial.
Director Wright explained that this will not be a community
service program where they work at their own pleasure and
leisure. They will have a job to perform every day.
Commissioner Bird asked how the three correction officers
will be assigned, and Director Wright advised that one officer
will be assigned to the classification of prisoners and
prioritizing the assignments, and two officers will go out into
the field to supervise the inmates. All three officers will be
trained to perform all the functions. Three officers may be
needed in the field if a sufficient number of inmates are
22
- M
working, but there won't be any relief factors or any vacation
factors built in if we have just two officers.
Commissioner Eggert wondered if there are any law
enforcement grants available for the drug education counseling
and rehabilitation therapy.
Director Wright advised that the Sheriff's Dept. has
submitted documents for two federal grants, but one of the
problems we have run into before is that this county is small,
and the state and federal programs like to apply the funds to the
larger programs. Hopefully, we will be successful this time in
getting at least one of these grants.
Commissioner Eggert just wanted to make sure that we have a
good, solid established program, and didn't want to see the
inmates "gain -time" their way through the program and leave
three-quarters of the way through without getting the full
benefit from the counseling and therapy programs.
Commissioner Bird noted that the quality of work performed
at the golf course by workers from the Correctional Institution
Is in direct proportion to the quality of supervision they
receive.
Administrator Chandler agreed that we are looking for
productivity. We think we can gain by this as they have in some
other counties where they have these work programs, and we'd like
to try it for 12 months and monitor it during that time.
Commissioner Bird wanted to see it reviewed every quarter by
the County Administrator.
Commissioner Bowman felt that one of the goals here is to
instill work motivation in these individuals. If we manage to
keep just one man out of jail for the rest of his life, we have
saved a great deal more than $135,000.
Director Wright explained that these officers will be
employed by the Sheriff and funded out of the general fund
contingencies. Today's request is for approval of the $66,950 to

Commissioner Scurlock being absent), approved
staff's recommendation as set out in the above memo.
Bill Koolage, 815 26th Avenue, was highly in favor of this
program, but wanted to see it go further and followed up with
other measures that would be effective in curtailing crime,
especially by young people. He urged the Board to put pressure
on the state and the federal governments to expand their fight
against crime and drugs and relieve the onus of punishment and
imprisonment from county government.

ILDING AND GROUNDS
SUBJECT: FULL AND FINAL RELEASE ADMINISTRATION ROOF REPLACEMENT
BACKGROUND:
At the March 7, 1989 Board of County Commission meeting, staff
was directed to contact the Traveler's Insurance Company,
representing the Koppers Company pursuant to the terms of a
February 3, 1987 settlement agreement. In the February, 1987
settlement agreement, the County had reserved the right to
require Koppers to replace damaged insulation which may be
subsequently discovered as reroofing progressed.
The Board approved a change order March 7, 1989 totalling
$34,509.00 for damaged insulation (this was a not to ekceed
estimate provided by Lucas Waterproofing), actual expenses were
$27,309.
The Traveler's has issued for the Boards approval , a full and
final release in the amount of $40,186.58. This represents a
pro -rated settlement for all remaining insulation on the
Administration Building roof ($73,066.50 x 55% = $40,186.58).

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
CHARLES VITUNA
COUNTY ATTORNEY
FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTO
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERV S
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO PURCHASE 15' X 81.13' PARCEL
COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY
BACKGROUND:
Ms. E. Susan O'Dare who resides at 1923 22nd Street, Vero Beach, has
made a request to purchase a parcel of land located in Block 40. This
is property that was acquired by the County for non-payment of taxes..
ANALYSIS:
According to F.S.S. 125.35(2), if the County Commissioners find that the
r value of the property is $5,000 or less, due to the size, shape,
..location, and value of the parcel, and it is of use only to one or more
,.adjacent property owners, the Board may effect a private sale of the
}, parcel: We must send certified notice to all adjacent property owners
of a private sale. Should two or more property owners notify us of a
desire to purchase the property, we must accept sealed bids.
RECOMMENDATIONS•
The subject property has a value of less than $5,000 and Ms. O'Dare has
made an official request to purchase the parcel. Staff request
permission to notify Ms. O'Dare of the procedure and authorize us to
proceed with the action necessary to make the property available for
sale to her at a price set by the Board.
Commissioner Bird felt the value of this property was
certainly in excess of $100.
Public Works Director Jim Davis pointed out that it is very
difficult to establish a value for a very thin piece of property
when the County, at the request of the City, is going to retain a
water, sewer and drainage easement over the property. Putting
26
part of that property back on the tax rolls will generate some
revenue for the County. He didn't have any problem in telling
her that the County would like more than $100 for it, but the
question is how much more should we ask for. If we go for an
appraisal, it probably will cost more than what we will realize
from the sale. Director Davis felt that if we go to her and
offer her the property for $1,000, she would leave it just as it
is since she is enjoying the use of it now anyway. He was not
quite sure it. was much of a benefit for her to own it as she just
wants to be able to park there legally. The City would not want
her to build a garage there, however.
Chairman Wheeler felt that if we have a piece of property
that is of no use to the county, particularly a very narrow band
of it like this, and particularly when we can maintain the
easement, we should return it to the tax roll and at least get
some return out of it.
Administrator Chandler advised that we have a rough estimate
of $800 on this property, but noted that today's request is just
to initiate the procedure.
Commissioner Bird agreed that the value would be somewhere
in the $800 neighborhood.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Commissioner Scurlock being absent), approved staff's
recommendation as set out in the above memo.

Public Works Director
FROM: James D. White, P.E.
County Engineer
SUBJECT: Office Renovations
County Engineering Division
DATE: June 12, 1989
---------------------- ------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Engineering Division has recently added staff to full
authorized levels. The additional staff has resulted in cramped
conditions and some separated functions. The construction
inspection staff has been temporarily located at opposite ends of
the office from their supervisor. This results in communication
difficulty and lost productivity.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The possible alternatives are as follows:
Alternate #1 - Make minor renovations in the office to better
utilize existing space and unify the construction inspection
personnel and this will improve communications and productivity
of those personnel at a cost estimated by the Building & Grounds
;aDepartment to be be $2,500.00.

JUN 2 01989
BOOK 77 Pq.Iu 129
Alternate #2 - Seek space in another part of the building., This
would isolate construction inspection staff from the balance of
the Engineering Division and reduce productivity and impair
communication and control. Alternate space does not appear to be
readily available in this building.
Alternate #3 Do nothing, look to other means of compensating
for separation of personnel. There is no immediate dollar cost
to this alternate but lower productivity and control are
considered undesirable. Cost of improving communications could
exceed the cost of Alternate #1 and may not compensate for
lowered productivity.
RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING
Staff recommends approval of Alternate #1 as the best solution.
Funding is prepared by budget line transfer of $2,500.00 from
111-244-541-033.13 (Engineering Services) to 111-244-541-066.41
(Office Furnishings and Equipment) for this purpose. There is
$5,000.00 in the former account that is not now expected to be
needed for that purpose.

Education Grant. A Waste Tire Grant in the amount of $4,284 and a
Recycling Grant.in the amount of $152,294 were approved by the DER
and contracts for those grants have been received for signing by the
County.
ANALYSIS
Attached are contracts for acceptance by the County of a Waste Tire
Grant and a Recycling Grant. These contracts must be signed by the
Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and returned to the
-`DER by June 30, 1989.
District staff recommends that the Board approve the subject grant
contracts and authorize the Chairman to sign them.
Commissioner Eggert didn't understand why this item wasn't
transferred to the agenda for today's Solid Waste Disposal
District the same as Item 9-G-1, Oil Recycling Grant Funds, and
Administrator Chandler explained that those funds actually will
go to the SWDD, but because of the nature of the recycling grant
and the way it is offered by the State, we have to accept the
funds through the County.

Board of County Commissioners

Re: Fifth Courtroom
Dear Mr. Wheeler:
Based on the County Administrator's March 31st projected
schedule for construction of A new courthouse it appears that
this project is at least 4 1/2 years from completion. Because
of this delay we believe that the immediate addition of a new
non -jury courtroom with associated judges office and waiting
area is an essential need that must be addressed. Such a
courtroom should be of sufficient size to seat between 40 and 50

persons and include

courtroom.
mor 7 7 c135
with the project an additional judges
area, hearing room, and waiting area for the
There. are a number of reasons why such an addition is required
including;
1. Within the next five year period we can expect to get
at least one if not two additional circuit judges in the 19th
circuit. At the present time there is no office space
available in the courthouse to provide offices to an additional
judge.
2. .Additional courtroom space is necessary when cases are
moved to this county or lengthy trials require additional judges
to cover existing case load. Beginning June 12, 1989, Judge
Geiger will be trying a criminal case that is expected to take
between 6 and 8 weeks. At the end of August Judge Kanarek will
be trying a 3 to 4 week civil trial and additional judges will
be covering his regular case load. During these times there
will not be sufficient courtrooms available to handle the
matters that need to be taken care of.
3. There are currently two resident circuit judges hearing
cases in Indian River County and three resident circuit judges
with their offices in the courthouse. In the past there have
been one or two non-resident circuit judges assigned to hear
cases in Vero (this was before Judge Kanarek was appointed to
the bench). It is expected that this will occur in the future
however there is no office space presently available.
4. Many of the circuit court civil cases are now scheduled
for mediation. Use of the mediation procedure has allowed us to
keep pace with our ever increasing case loads by obtaining
settlements in cases that wduld have otherwise required trial.
At the present time we are using a conference room in the County
Administration Building. It would be preferable that this
mediation occur within the Courthouse and if an additional
non -jury courtroom was available it would provide an appropriate
setting for mediation.
5. Both county and circuit judges could make us of a
non -jury courtroom in handling matters that should be held in a
courtroom setting but do not require a jury. This would include
small claims matters, juvenile proceedings, dissolution of
marriage actions -and all related contested family law matters,
and all non -jury cases in both circuit and county courts.
6. When the proposed courtroom was not being used for any
of the above it would also provide quarters for grand jury
proceedings and could serve a jury assembly area where jurors
could wait until they were called to a courtroom.
We rO believe that the site of a new non -jury courtroom and
related offices would best be located in the courthouse annex in
the space now occupied by the Public Defender's Office. We
understange
that.such a location would require that the Public
Defender moved at additional expense however we believe that
there are at least two overriding concerns which can only be
resolved by keeping the additional courtroom in the present
courthouse complex. First, from a security point of view it
would be substantially easier and less expensive to provide
courtroom and judge security for a space that was part of the
courthouse complex. Second, as part of all court proceedings
there is the necessity for access to court files and records.
It would create a substantial burden on the Clerk to have to
move files to an area away from the courthouse.

r � �
So that this matter -will not be delayed we urge the Board of
County Commissioners to immediately approve the additional
courtroom. Please advise the time that this will be placed on
your agenda so we can have a representative present to answer
any questions the Board may have.
Sincerely,

Chairman Wheeler asked that he be assigned, along with the
other committees, to work on this with the appropriate staff, and
then set up a meeting with the Judges and come back to the Board
with some kind of a recommendation or feasibility report. At
that time perhaps the Judges could be here to answer any
questions the Board may have as a whole. The Judges feel this is
urgent, but he didn't really know if we would have any specific
questions to ask until it goes back into research, especially
since we are in the process of planning our new Courthouse.
Chairman Wheeler advised that he had talked with a couple of
the Judges this past week about the possibility of using the
County Commission Chambers or other facilities such as the 2001
Building on an interim basis until the new Courthouse is built,

and one of the Judges recommended that we have a meeting and try
to look at other alternatives rather than going out and hiring an
architect to build a fifth courtroom at this time, especially
when we don't have a master plan for the courts facility as yet.
Chairman Wheeler wanted to work with Administrator Chandler
and General Services Director Sonny Dean and other appropriate
staff and sit down with the Judges and see what we can come up
with, because he had some reservations about going out and
spending $350,000 for a short-term solution to this problem.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Commissioner Scurlock being absent) approved
the Chairman's request to work with staff, meet
with the Judges, and come back to the Board with
a recommendation or a report.
