Tuesday, September 5, 1989
The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County,
Florida, met in Special Session at the County Commission
Chambers, 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida, on Tuesday,
September 5, 1989, at 6:01 o'clock P.M. Present were Gary C.
Wheeler, Chairman; Carolyn K. Eggert, Vice Chairman; Richard N.
Bird; Margaret C. Bowman, and Don C. Scurlock, Jr. Also present
were James E. Chandler, County Administrator; Charles Vitunac,
Attorney to the Board of County Commissioners; Joseph Baird, OMB
Director; and Barbara Bonnah, Deputy Clerk.
Chairman Wheeler called the meeting to order and led the
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Chairman Wheeler announced that the purpose of this meeting,
which is one of the two public hearings that will be held, is to
consider and adopt the Tentative Budget for fiscal year 1989-90.
He explained to those present the procedure that would be
followed during the hearings on the various funds, noting that it
is a pretty involved process with a number of things prescribed
by law.
Administrator Chandler gave a brief overview of the proposed
budget for 1989-90, and announced that the total budget proposed
for next fiscal year beginning October 1st, is $114 -million. Of
that total budget, the increase on expenses amounts to
approximately $9.3 million,'an increase of 8.9% He felt the
total budget reflects to a large extent the impact of the growth
in population that we have been experiencing here in Indian River
County. With the increase in growth comes the increased demands

SEP 5 1989 100 �'7 Fact 86b
or requests for additional, expanded and improved levels of
service, but he emphasized that growth does not pay for itself.
Generally, the reasons for the increases are as follows:
1) Increases and improvements in the area of law enforcement.
2) New or expanded programs, such as the Advanced Life Support
services (ALS) that was assumed by the County this current
fiscal year, the total funding of which we pick up in the
coming fiscal year.
3) Capital improvements made throughout the county,
i.e construction of the north and main libraries.
4) Coming onto the tax roll for the first time is the debt
service that was approved in 1986 to fund the libraries.
5) The projects that will be funded though the sales tax that
was approved by the voters this past March, which amounts to
$6.7 million.
6) State -mandated recycling programs which are reflected in our
SWDD budget.
7) Improvements in our parks system. We acquired property for a
south county park in this fiscal year, and included in next
year's budget is funding for some phased -in development of
that park.
8) Contingency funds for salary adjustments.
Chairman Wheeler explained that the purpose of tonight's
public hearing is to consider the proposed budget, and it is not
for the purpose of considering whether someone's assessment is
is
� � r
valid or not, which is dealt with by a separate board. This
evening we will be talking about the next budget year. The Board
already has had 4 days of budget workshop sessions and did make a
number of reductions. The Chairman then reviewed in detail the
procedure to be followed whereby the millage, rollback, and
budgets for all the various funds will be announced and opened up
for public discussion. He advised that notice of tonight's
meeting has been legally publicized by the TRIM Notice (Truth in
Millage), which was mailed to all property owners in the county.
Administrator Chandler proceeded to review the proposed
millages and budgets for the various funds, etc., which are as

Administrator Chandler advised that the first millage quoted
will be the aggregate millage which is arrived at by adding all
the ad valorem taxes levied by the governing body for countywide
purposes plus the ad valorem taxes levied for all dependent
districts divided by the total taxable value of the county.
Rollback is the rate which is exclusive of ad valorem taxes on
new construction and annexations. The proposed aggregate millage
is 7.513, an increase of .4813 or 6.85% above rollback millage
which was 7.0290.
GENERAL FUND
Administrator Chandler announced that the recommended
General Fund budget for 1989-90 is $35..1 million, which is an
increase of $5.4 million. To fund that budget, we have proposed
an millage rate of 5.2064, an increase of .4463 or 9.38% increase
over the rolled back millage of 4.7601. The major reasons for
the increase over rolled back millage are:
A. Assumption of ALS Services - In 1988/89 this was funded by
insurance charges and the hospital taxing district
reimbursement. In 1989/90 General Fund revenues will be
needed to make up the lost hospital taxing district
reimbursement.
B. South County Park - $400,000 is budgeted for the beginning of
the planned phased -in improvements to the park.
C. Law Enforcement. The Sheriff's budget is up $2,333,248.
D. Cash Forward up by $370,000 - This is money to carry the
County's expenditures from October 1, 1989 to December 31,
1989 until tax revenues begin to come in.
E. Salary Contingency of approximately $561,000 - This money is
set aside for salary increases.

Chairman Wheeler asked if anyone wished to heard on the
General Fund, noting that this is something that is paid by
everyone. He informed those present that we don't adopt anything
finally tonight. This is just the first of two public hearings,
and at the final hearing we adopt each of these funds by
Resolution. This is just a formal process that we have to go
through reading all these numbers.
Kenneth Hill, 167 Anchor Drive, stated that he was not here
to speak to the specifics of the budget, but was here to speak to
the whole issue of budgets. He presented several graphs that he
worked up showing population increases and percentages of
increases in taxes over the years. In 1986 the taxes on his
property were $5,500, and this year they are projected out to
$8,500, which amounts to an average increase of 18% per year. He
emphasized that if this trend increases for the next 4 years, his
taxes will go to $19,000. He felt that kind of increase is
unconscionable, and that the trend has got to stop. He stated
that about 20 people from his area wanted to come with him
tonight, but he elected to come alone. Those people want to get
on the bandwagon, however. From the trend lines, Mr. Hill didn't
see that these tax increa-ses are related to population increases
which show an increase of only 14% over the last 4 years. He
realized that a lot of the increase is due to State mandated
services, but reemphasized that the trend has got to stop. He
couldn't -say how to take care of this, but if we are looking at
this kind of increase again next year, he felt a lot of people
will be here to talk and will be talking about recalls.
Commissioner Scurlock explained that the decrease in the
State's participation in local programs plus the State's mandated
services has had a tremendous impact on the taxes. Two items
alone account for $3.4 -million of the General Fund increase. The
Sheriff's Department's $14.4 -million budget is a $2.,3 -million
increase over last year; and Advanced Life Support's $2 -million

budget has a $1.1 -million increase. With ALS we have a situation
where the technology has become so advanced that we've seen the
demise of the volunteer squads. The County is trying to move
toward user fees, relating some costs directly to services, but
the problem is that some of the County's biggest expenses cannot
be neatly quantified and divided into user fees. The value of
your home doesn't really relate back to what you're demanding for
county services, and how do you tell somebody that they have to
pay for a part of a courtroom they may never be in or that they
have to pay for a piece of the jail that they'll never be in.
How can you explain higher taxes to that guy who owns a half -
million dollar piece of property in John's Island or The
Moorings, who has his own private security and a private road?
He didn't feel you could explain. Commissioner Scurlock pointed
out that crack cocaine -related crime has boosted the cost of law
enforcement drastically; however, people are not understanding
what the criminal element is costing us.
Mr. Hill maintained that the trend line in the increases
that he had just shown was not going to fly.
Commissioner Scurlock asked Mr. Hill what percent of
increase in his taxes is due to an increase in assessment, but
Mr. Hill did not feel that was the issue. Although he
appreciated that a lot of these expenses are mandated by the
State, he would suggest that the Commission alert the people each
time the State mandates another service so that the people can
voice their objections to their State Senators and State
Representatives. He didn't know how, but he felt somehow we have
to get a better handle on these matters.
Bill Koolage, 815 20th Avenue, felt that we have to address
the fact that population increases don't pay for themselves. As
the county grows, the demand for services grows, and you don't.
have the volunteer spirit. The County had to pick up the ALS
Service, but you didn't see the Hospital District budget go down,
16
and it should have.
Mr. Koolage pointed out that with the new
Comprehensive Plan we have a viable document to start looking at
what we can expect in the future.
Commissioner Eggert noted that the mandated Comp Plan has
the capital improvements estimated out to 2010, but Mr. Koolage
emphasized that you have to project the operating expenses as
'we I I .
Commissioner Eggert advised that they have been telling the
Libraries and the Health Dept. to project their operating
expenses, and Mr. Koolage felt that everybody was shocked at the
cost that came out of the libraries.
Commissioner Wheeler didn't like paying taxes any better
than anyone else, but felt that while our county may not be a
utopia, it is a lot better than many other areas in the state.
Commissioner Bird shared Mr. Hill's frustrations as to the
trend line in tax increases, and felt that Mr. Hill had
articulated his concerns about as well as anyone he has heard in
the nine years he has been a Commissioner. He explained that the
Commissioners and staff go into the workshops trying to keep the
taxes the same, but invariably it seems like every year we get
hit with something that we -have to fund that we really hadn't
anticipated. One year it was an unbelievable increase in
liability insurance costs, and last year we had to help the
libraries some. This year we had to assume the ALS service and
then there is the big increase in the Sheriff's budget. He hoped
that we don't have something unforeseen that will clobber us next
year and that we go into the budget sessions next year with the
philosophy of trying to hold the millage rate the same or reduce
it and letting the new construction and increased values carry
us. He further hoped we would go into those budget sessions
aggressively, remembering the cautions that Mr. Hill has put
forth here tonight.
Mr. Hill suggested a cap, but Commissioner Scurlock
emphasized that 400 of the total budget is spent on law
L
EP 1989 . RiJGK r� 7 F�1 F 881
enforcement. In 1980 the total budget for law enforcement was
$2.5 million; now it is $14 million.
Commissioner Bird explained that the General Fund is made up
compositely of several county departments plus the five
constitutional officers' budgets. Next year at budget time, he
would like to see Director Baird find out what the new
construction is and what percent of assessment has increased and
see what that would amount to in a millage, and then somehow pass
that along to each county department and make that county
department prepare a budget not exceeding the figure given.
Administrator Chandler noted that to a certain extent that
is what they did when they prepared the budget and presented it
to the Commission. The growth in the tax roll was abut 8.9%, but
there was an approximate increase of 12-13o in operating expenses
in those areas under the Commission's jurisdiction. Included in
that 12-13% was the $1 -million increase for the ALS services.
About $2.5 million was eliminated in the proposed budget before
it was presented to the Commission. He felt Mr. Hill made a very
valid point about the need for the public to monitor the
decisions made during the course of the year because those
decisions do affect the subsequent budget year, such as the
approval this year for expansion of the Jail. We will be
accepting constructions bids in 2-3 weeks on Phase III and the
operating expense for Phase III will affect our budget for next
year. There also will be some increase in operating expenses for
the new libraries.
Commissioner Scurlock explained to Mr. Hill that the State
sets a cap of 100 on aggregate millage and that Indian River
County is presently at 7.50. He wondered what we are going to do
when we reach the cap and find that the needs for our Jail have
increased. It seemed to him that we will be forced to cut
services elsewhere.
Commissioner Bowman felt we would have to do the same as the
schools did this year, raise the cap.
18
Administrator Chandler emphasized that the Board made some
very hard priority decisions in the workshop sessions this year,
and felt there is no question that we would have to cut services
somewhere when we reach the 10% cap.
Travis Clemens of Melbourne, speaking for his grandmother,
Daisy Andrews, 2110 42nd Street, explained that her street was
paved recently but the drainage is bad. Whenever it rains, the
street gets flooded out, washes out her yard, and causes a
mosquito problem. His grandmother has called several times to
complain, but nothing gets done. He has been sitting here
listening that 40% of the total budget, which is a lot of money,
is going for law enforcement, but he didn't feel that the law
enforcement is that great. His grandmother's taxes have gone
from $80.72 to $209 a year, which is more than a 200% increase.
Chairman Wheeler believed that the reason for the big jump
in taxes was because Mrs. Andrews' property had not been
appraised for a long time, and because the of the increase in the
landfill charge from $31.50 to $52.80 for single-family
residence.
Commissioner Bird noted that generally the drainage improves
when the road is paved, a-nd-suggested that Administrator Chandler
have someone from Public Works go out and see what can be done
about the drainage problems on 42nd Street.
Pete Perlick, 5990 24th Street, felt this taxing system was
pushing out the middle class, because it is not the rich or the
poor that are paying the taxes. He believed that spending almost
one-half of the money for law enforcement was great, but felt one
solution to the increase in law enforcement costs is to punish
the people who commit the crime. Mr. Perlick was also concerned
about his taxes on a condominium unit they own over on the beach
because last year they lost $3,000 on that rental unit. He
emphasized that the bills have to be paid even when it is not
rented, and he would like the Commission appoint a committee
SEP 19 BOCK
to examine rental properties to see if those owners are actually
making the money that is being taxed. As for parks, he was not
aware of any plans for a park out in the west side of town.
Commissioner Bird explained that we don't have any immediate
plans to put in a park on the west side of the county, but Mr.
Perlick thought it would be very nice to have a park out that way
because there is a lot of development along SR -60 now and; -.a lot
of people would enjoy having a park there.
Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that another park would
just raise the taxes.
Mr. Perlick understood that August 30, 1989, was the last
day to file an objection to the tax assessments, and Chairman
Wheeler confirmed that date.
The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to speak on the
General Fund budget. There being none, he closed the Public
Hearing on the General Fund.
Administrator Chandler reviewed the following memo dated
8/31 /89:
TO: James Chandler
County Administrator
DATE: August 31, 1989
SUBJECT: TRANSMITTAL OF 1989/90
BUDGET SCARY REPORT
FROM: Joseph A. Baird('
OMB Director
Attached are the 1989/90 budget summary sheets. The only item not
addressed is the change in health and life insurance costs. Although
we had originally estimated a 22% increase in insurance costs at the
July workshops, subsequent negotiations with our insurance
administrator, American General Group Services, have reduced this
increase to about 15%. This change will mean a reduction of $138,654
to health insurance cost county wide. At the workshop we had
budgeted the increase in the taxing funds, but had planned to absorb
the difference in enterprise and various other funds. The change in
health and life insurance costs would mean a decrease in the funds
shown below.
General Fund $87,029.00
M.S.T.U. $ 3,939.00
North County Fire $ 877.00
South County Fire $13,641.00
If you have any questions, please call.
20
Administrator Chandler explained that the reduction in the
proposed health and life insurance costs would effect a decrease
in the General Fund of $87,029. It would be only a small
reduction, in this case it would amount to .0200. When we get to
the M.S.T.U. and the North and South Fire Districts, it would be
his recommendation to decrease those budgets as well.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved
a tentative millage rate of 5.1844, (9.0o
over rollback) for the General Fund for fiscal year
1989-90. (This reflects the $87,029 reduction in the
General Fund for insurance costs.)
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
a tentative budget of $35,012,049 for the General Fund
for fiscal year 1989-90. (This reflects the $87,029
reduction in the General Fund for insurance costs.)
TRANSPORTATION FUND
Administrator Chandler explained that there is no millage
assessment for this fund; it is subsidized from the General Fund
and MSTU; and the proposed budget is $7,376,730. The proposed
budget increase is $375,708, or 5.4%. The reasons for increase
are:
A.- Increase in road and drainage projects.
B. Purchase of additional equipment.
C. Salary contingency.
Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing on the
Transportation Fund, and asked if anyone wished to be heard.
There being none, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
a tentative budget of $7,376,730 for the
Transportation Fund for fiscal year 1989-90.
Administrator Chandler stated that the General Purpose
Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) had a proposed millage of
1.9660 coming into this meeting, but with the reduction of $3,939
in insurance costs, the millage rate would be 1.9642, which is
less than the rolled back millage. The proposed M.S.T.U. budget
is $11,177,434. The changes are the additional expenses and our
agreement with the City of Vero Beach on the Parks & Recreation
Dept. and the Jungle Trail Maintenance Plan.
Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing on the M.S.T.U.
budget, and asked if anyone wished to be heard. There being
none, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing.

VERO LAKE ESTATES M.S.T.0
Administrator Chandler explained that the assessments are on
a per parcel/acre basis and the rolled back millage does not
apply. The proposed per parcel/acre charge is $15.00 for
1989-90, which is the same as last year. The proposed Vero Lake
Estates M.S.T.U. Budget is $77,950. The current year is
$108,700, a $30,750 decrease.
Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing on the Vero Lake
Estates M.S.T.U., and asked if anyone wished to be heard. There
being none, he closed the Public Hearing.

SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT
Administrator Chandler announced that there is a new
proposed assessment rate of $33.00 per waste generation unit
(WGU) and the proposed budget is $5,298,205, which is an increase
of $1,.124,754. One of the reasons for the increase is the State
mandated recycling program, and there are changes in various
factors related to the individual assessment rate formula with
varying impacts. The net impact as related to a single family
home is an increase of $21.30 in the next fiscal year, and of
that increase, $9.50 is directly related to the recycling program
mandated by the State.

LIBRARY BOND ISSUE
Administrator Chandler explained that a rolled back millage
rate is not involved as this is being added to the tax bills for
the first time this year. It ties into the referendum that was
approved in 1986 for the expansion of our library system, most
notably the construction of the north and main county libraries.
The bonds have been sold; the annual debt service is about $1.6
million; and the millage rate for the next fiscal year would be
.3967, and the proposed budget is $1,564,826.
Commissioner Eggert noted that this replaces the millage for
the beach bonds as set up in the referendum; it is not something
new, it just has changed its name.
Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing on the Library
Bond Issue budget, and asked if anyone wished to be heard. There
being none, he closed the Public Hearing.

NORTH COUNTY FIRE'DISTRICT
Administrator Chandler explained that the amount of millage
reflected on the TRIM notices is 1.000, which is a 20 increase
over rolled back millage. The proposed budget is $922,160; the
current year is $701,551, a $220,609 increase. The reason for
increase over rolled back millage:
A. Most of the increase is in Fire Control and is for
six (6) additional firefighter positions. Additional
positions provide for improved coverage and response
time during the day -when volunteers are working.
Administrator Chandler noted that with the deduction of $877
in health and life insurance costs, there would be a .0018
reduction in the proposed millage rate, making the new millage
rate .9982.
Commissioner Scurlock suggested that we adopt a full mill
since we are going into reserves to fund the firemen, and Admin-
istrator Chandler advised that we could do so in this case since
we are talking about $877.
Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing on the North
County Fire District, and asked if anyone wished to be heard.
There being none, he closed the Public Hearing.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously approved
a tentative millage rate of 1.000 (2.10 over rollback)
for the North County Fire District for fiscal year
1989-90.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously approved
a tentative budget of $922,160 for the North County
Fire District for fiscal year 1989-90.
WEST COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT
Administrator Chandler explained that the amount of millage
reflected on the TRIM notices is .3169, which is an increase of
.0374 or 13.40 over rolled back millage. The proposed budget is
$68,000. The current year is $63,850, a $4,150 increase. This
fire district would not be affected by the change in the health
and life insurance costs. Administrator Chandler advised that
the primary reason for the increase is that there has been a
reliance in past years on a reserve to fund this coverage. That
reserve has been utilized to where it is no longer sufficient
without adjustment of the millage rate.
Commissioner Scurlock understood that there is no part of
the County Fire District lying east of 1-95 and that Fellsmere is
excluded, and that was confirmed.
Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing on the West
County Fire District, and asked if anyone wished to be heard.
There being none, he closed the Public Hearing.

SOUTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT
Administrator Chandler advised that the amount of millage
reflected on the TRIM notices is 1.5854, which is the same as the
rolled back millage. The proposed budget is $5,939,234. The
current year is $5,146,948, a $792,286 increase. If we were to
apply the reduction in health and life insurance costs, there
would be a $13,641 decrease in the budget, and the millage rate
would drop to 1.5803. The reduction is small in the scheme of
things, but it is a reduction, and the total budget would be
$5,925,593.
Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing on the South
County Fire District, and asked if anyone wished to be heard.
There being, none, he closed the Public Hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by

costs.)

STREET LIGHTING DISTRICTS
Chairman Wheeler advised that he would next open the public
hearing on the Street Lighting Districts for the following:
Gifford, Laurelwood, Rockridge, Vero Highlands, Porpoise Point,
Laurel Court, Vero Shores, Ixora, and Royal Poinciana.
Attorney Vitunac advised that the millage and budget for
each Street Lighting District will be announced, and anyone who
wishes to speak regarding a particular District will be heard at
that time. He further explained that each of these Districts is
assessed on a per parcel/acre basis and rollback does not apply.
OMB Director Baird proceeded to announce the proposed
assessments and budgets for all the Street Lighting Districts,
and explained that since the Terra Linda Street Lighting District
and the Single Light Districts are not levying an assessment this
budget year, they will be included in the approval of the final
budget for Non -Taxing Funds.
Attorney Vitunac advised that instead of having Director
Baird read aloud the assessment amounts and budgets for each
street lighting district, the Board has the option of asking if
there is anyone in the audience who wishes to hear any or all of
the street lighting districts budgets as submitted by OMB
Director Baird.

raised his hand to speak, even though we are ready, able, and
willing to read each of the street lighting districts' budgets.
Pete Perlick, 5990 24th Street, asked if there could be a
street light installed on 58th Avenue by Rivera Estates, which is
just north of the Ryanwood Shopping Center as it is a very dark
stretch of road after coming out of the brightly lighted shopping
center.
Chairman Wheeler explained that the residents of Rivera
Estates would have to form a Street Lighting District if they
wished to have lights in their subdivision, but Mr. Perlick just
wanted the County to install a lightron 58th Avenue somewhere
between the Ryanwood and 26th Street (Walker Avenue.)
There being no others who wished to be heard, the Chairman

Chairman Wheeler opened the Public Hearing on the remaining

Bill Herman, 475 45th Avenue, was satisfied to learn tonight
where his taxes are being spent, but asked how the appraised
value is determined.
Commissioners Bird and Scurlock explained that the millage
as adopted at the final budget hearing, is applied to the
assessed value which usually reflects 80-85% of the market value.
Depending on where you live, you might pay differently because of
the different taxing entities in the county, such as the drainage
districts or fire districts.

entity.

that he would appreciate that.
Chairman Wheeler asked if anyone else wished to be heard on
these matters. There being none, he closed the Public Hearing.
