Tuesday, January 23, 1990
The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County,
Florida; met in Regular Session at the County Commission
Chambers, 1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida, on Tuesday,
January 23, 1990, at 9:00 o'clock A.M. Present were Carolyn K.
Eggert, Chairman; Richard N. Bird, Vice Chairman; Margaret C.
Bowman; Dori C. Scurlock, Jr.; and Gary C. Wheeler. Also present
were James E. Chandler, County Administrator; -Charles P. Vitunac,
Attorney to the Board of County Commissioners; and Virginia
Hargreaves, Deputy Clerk.
The Chairman called the meeting to order, and Commissioner
Wheeler led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA/EMERGENCY ITEMS
Chairman Eggert requested that an emergency item in regard
to scheduling a date for a public hearing on amending our Animal
Control Ordinance be added as Item 11 (1) since Attorney Brennan,
who is handling this, would like to see it concluded before she
goes on maternity leave. Chairman Eggert informed the Board
that Item 11 (1) as shown on the Agenda actually is the backup
material for Item 8A(1) and should be moved forward to that item
and replaced by the emergency item just described.
Chairman Eggert further requested that the following be
added as Items 12C (1) and 12C (2) under Commissioner Bowman's
matters:

Resolution on Make-up of Transportation Planning
Committee.
Report on Recommendation of Manatee Protection &
Boating Safety Ad Hoc Committee
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously added items
to the Agenda as described above.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The Chairman asked if there were any additions or correc-
tions to the Minutes of the Special Meeting of December 21, 1989.
Commissioner Scurlock asked that the following be included
in his remarks in the third paragraph on Page 15. He explained
that since there seems to be a lot of discussion on-going about
septage and sludge, he felt it is important that this point be
highlighted:
"In the short range, it is his opinion there are some minor
economic advantages to the City doing its own thing; however,
with the uncertainty of long term permitting requirements, his
feeling is that it would be advantageous for the City to partici-
pate in the County program."
Chairman Eggert determined that there were no additional
corrections or additions.
ON_MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved the
Minutes of the Special -Meeting of December 21, 1989,
as amended.
Commissioner Scurlock further noted that, although he had
suggested that our staffs could go ahead and discuss this issue
once again, there was a specific Motion (4-0) directing that a
joint meeting be set up with the City of Vero Beach for further
discussion regarding septage and sludge. That was about 4 weeks
ago, and apparently this still has not been done.
2
Chairman Eggert advised that it is in the process of trying
to be done.
Administrator Chandler believed that staff had indicated
they felt, prior to having a joint meeting, there was a need from
a staff perspective to meet with City staff on the septic aspect
of it and the requirement for an interlocal agreement inasmuch as
that had changed since our last staff meeting with the City in
September. They did have such a meeting with City staff last
week in this regard and are optimistic that can be resolved.
There will be a need for a follow up meeting.
Commissioner Scurlock inquired about the date for the
tentative meeting, and Administrator Chandler stated that has not
been set yet; however, staff felt that since it looked as if
progress has been made on the septic issue, that should not delay
the need for a joint meeting.
Commissioner Scurlock suggested that we contact the Mayor
and the ent i re Ci ty Counc i I , i n regar- --tome-t t.-ing--up th i s
meeting, and Chairman Eggert informed him that she already has
done that.
CONSENT AGENDA
Chairman Eggert asked that Items l and K be `removed from the
Consent Agenda for discussion.
A. & B. - Reports
The following reports were received and placed on file in
the Office of Clerk to the Board:
Audit of the Office of Public Defender,
19th Judicial Court for Period of July 1, 1988
through June 30, 1989.
Report of Convictions for Months of October, November
and December, 1989.
C. Appointment to Overall Extension Committee
BOOK 8 PAG100
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously appointed
Lou Cosner to the Overall Extension Committee, as
the representative from District 1.
D. Council of 100 (Economic Development Grant)
The Board reviewed memo from Chairman Eggert, as follows:
TO: Board of County DATE: January 17, 1990 FILE:
Commissioners
FROM: Carolyn K. EggervIli
Chairman
SUBJECT: Council of 100
REFERENCES:
The Council of 100 has the opportunity to receive a grant (about
$1000) from the Wal-Mart foundation but needs a conduit for these
funds because they have a tax-exempt status. The County has been
asked to receive these funds from Wal-Mart and forward them on to
the Council of 100. Jim Chandler and' Joe Baird have no problem
with our doing this.
In our Overall Economic Development Plan we have as'a goal to
help the Council of 100 in economic development matters. I
recommend that we agree to act as the conduit for the Wal-Mart
foundation money to the Council of 100.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously agreed to act
as the conduit for the Wal-Mart foundation money to
the Council of 100.

SUBJ: IRC BID#90-27/TWO AMBULANCES
BACKG CUND:--.-
On request from Emergency Management Services the bid for Ttao
Ambulances was properly advertised and Eight (8) Invitations
to bid were sent out. On Dec. 6, 1989, bids were received:
Five (5) vendors submitted proposals for the commodity.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has reviewed the submittal to ascertain adherence to,
specifications. National Ambulance Builders was'the low
bidder that met all requirements. At this point in time
Emergency Management Services is only requesting One (1)
Vehicle. (Memo Attached)
FUNDING:
Monies for this project will came from Advanced Life Support
Account Automotive, which has a budget of $65,390.00.
-Staff reconnends the Award of the Bid for $45,788.00,
to National Ambulance Builders for the subject commodity.
Chairman Eggert commented that this bid calls for 2
ambulances, but apparently we are only going out for one.
I
M BOOK N, fi
Administrator Chandler explained that at budgettime, and
when going out to bid, we anticipated that we had sufficient
funds for replacement of 2 vehicles, but the combination of our
budget funds and grant funds is not sufficient. Staff,
therefore, are recommending purchase of only one vehicle, and on
the second, recommending going out for bid on a chassis and then
taking the existing box and module off the replacement vehicle.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously awarded
Bid #90-27 to the low bidder National Ambulance
Builders in the amount of $45,788.00 for one ambulance

K. Budget Amendment #027 - Grant for Addicted Pregnant Women
OMB Baird came before the Board to review his revised memo,
which is as follows:

of County Commissioners
DATE: January 23, 1990
SUBJECT: REVISED BUDGET AMENDMENT 027
GRANT FOR ADDICTED PREGNANT WOMEN
FROM: Joseph A. Baird
OMB Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Indian River County Mental Health Center, Inc. was notified by
the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services that they had
16
r
received a Grant/Substance Abuse for Pregnant Women in the amount of
$159,728.00. The notification included $6,008.00 of an existing
grant from the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services;
therefore, the true grant amount is only $153,720.00. Indian River
County's matching share is calculated as follows:
1/3 matching = $153,720/3 = $51,240.00
Indian River County
Pro rata share in = $51,240 x .26 = $13,323.00
Tri -county area
The attached budget amendment adjusts the matching portion from
$24,526.00 which was budgeted on September 26, 1989 'to $13,323.00.
RECON MENDATION
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve Budget
Amendment 027
Director Baird advised that we are going to put $11,203 back
into Contingencies to straighten this out as clarified in the
explanation included on the proposed Budget Amendment.

$283,000 unfortunately, they have been only allocated $153,720. Indian
River County's matching contribution is only $13,323. The budget amendment
increases the General Fund Contingencies by $11,203 which is the difference

FROM:Joseph Baird, Director REFERENCES:
Office of Management & Budge
In the meeting of January 9, 1990 the Board of County Commissioners
authorized the sale of surplus property which was three vehicles from the
North County Fire District. The Indian River County Parks Department has
looked at these vehicles and has a use for the 1965 Chevrolet Booster Truck,
Asset #2610, VIN #HC6135A10401 as a watering truck.
In the past the Parks Department had utilized the Road and Bridge watering
truck, however, due to the increase in the petition paving workload the
watering truck is often not available. Because of this the Parks Department
is not able to water the plants at parks, etc. on: a regular schedule.
North County Fire District staff has determined that $800 is a reasonable
amount that the Parks Department should pay the district. A transfer of
$800 from "Paving" to "Automotive Capital" as shown in the attached budget
amendment would appropriate the funding as needed.
Staff recommends BCC approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING CENTER - REQUEST FOR F.I.N.D. FUNDS
Chairman Eggert noted that the backup material for this item
was included on the Agenda as Item 11 (1) under the County
Attorney's matters.
Asst. County Attorney Collins and made the following
presentation:
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: William G. Collins If - Assistant County Attorney
DATE: v'� January 16, 1990
SUBJECT: FIND Grant Application and Resolution -
Environmental Learning Center
On Friday, January 12, 1990, a presentation was made to the
Parks and Recreation Committee by George Bunnell and Holly
Dill of the Environmental Learning Center, Inc.. The
Environmental Learning Center is to be constructed on land
owned by and leased from Indian River County under a 99 -year
lease. The Environmental Learning Center will further
environmental education.
The Environmental Learning Center, Inc. is desirous of
County support and sponsorship of a Florida inland
Navigation District (FIND) grant application. The
application seeks $200,000.00 in funding from FIND to
further the construction of the Environmental Learning
Center. FIND grant applications require a local government
to sponsor the application. As owner of the land on which
the center is to be built, Indian River County would be the
appropriate local government body to sponsor the
application. Indian River County's matching share will be
funded by a $200,000.00 cash grant from the Environmental
Learning Center, Inc.
19
J A %� � 9k BUCK
BOOP( .G 101 P
After hearing the presentation, the Parks and Recreation
Committee recommended that the Board of County Commissioners
endorse the Environmental Learning Center grant application
and pass the necessary resolution of support.
The Environmental Learning Center, Inc. will make a short
presentation to the Board, at the January 23, 1990
Commission meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Chairman to
application and -Resolution.
execute the attached Grant
Attorney Collins stressed that the intent is that our
matching share would be funded by a $200,000 cash grant from the
Environmental Learning Center, Inc., (ELC) so that, in effect,
the taxpayers will not be supporting this project beyond the
lease of the land itself. He informed the Board that George
Bunnell, campaign chairman for the proposed Environmental
Learning Center, will speak to the availability of those matching
funds.
George Bunnell, 985 Beachcomber Lane, Indian River Shores,
informed the Board that FIND (Florida Inland Navigation District)
is concerned about the environmental wellbeing of the waterway;
so, they have invited the ELC to apply in their matching grant
program for assistance in building the proposed center. The ELC
approached Commissioner Bird and his Parks E Recreation Committee
first because FIND and Indian River County, upon the urging of
that committee, have jointly invested in recreational facilities
along the waterway, and it was hoped the P&R Committee would
recommend the County submit a joint funding request for the ELC
project. In other words, ELC is requesting that the County be
the technical sponsor as FIND grant applications require that a
local government sponsor such applications.
Mr. Bunnell assured the Board that this is not a guinea pig
type of thing. The County a couple of years ago did sponsor a
similar application, but at that time the ELC was not well enough
along in its own development to qualify for the grant. They now
are, and to substantiate this, Mr. Bunnell reported that the
r
20
private sector has raised something in excess of half of their
three million dollar goal already; so, they are capable of
supplying. -the monies for the match, if the County will sponsor
the grant application.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, to authorize the Chairman to execute
the FIND Grant Application and to adopt Resolution
90-16 requesting Grant Assistance from FIND.
Commissioner Scurlock wished to be sure that we are just
acting as the conduit for these funds and that our a.ttorneys are
satisfied there is sufficient language to protect us from being
responsible in the event, for some reason, the monies weren't
forthcoming.
Attorney Collins advised that we will be responsible for the
$200,000, but we are proceeding on the--a-s-s-u-rance--from the ELC
that they will supply the matching source for the funds.
Chairman Eggert believed that they do have the money in
their bank account to cover this.
Commissioner Scurlock noted that it is easy to sit here and
say they have the money, and he knows the people involved so he
believes what,they say, but he just wants to be assured that we
are doing this in a businesslike fashion and that we have
sufficient language in here so that if something goes wrong, we
are covered.
Attorney Collins informed the Board that Mr. Bunnell has
told him that he will provide that in writing, and he already has
a letter from the ELC stating that:
"By handling the proposal this way, it will be clear to FIND
that:
(1) they wild be funding a specific portion of the
project for $200,000;
(2) the County will be funding a specific portion of
the project for $200,000 through funds from the
ELC; and
BOOK
(3) the balance of the project (1.1 million) will be
funded by the ELC."
Attorney Collins stressed that we have that much in writing,
and we can get a further commitment for that cash flow.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

REQUEST FOR APPRAISAL ON CIBA-GEIGY 40 ACRES TO SQUARE OFF HOBART
PARK '
Administrator Chandler reviewed the following, requesting
authorization to have an appraisal on 29 acres just north of
CIBA-Geigy:
28
TO: Board ' of County Commissioners DATE' January 17, 1990
FILE.
F CutdisIraM: nyAmintor REFERENCES:
In recent weeks we have continued to explore the feasibility of acquiring from
CIBA Geigy Corporation approximately 40 acres on Kings Highway north of
69th Street. The intent of such an adquisition would be to square off the
Hobart Park area for future open space needs. In the process a number of
alternatives are being considered from negotiations with CIBA Geigy for direct
acquisition of the 40 acres to acquisition of property north of the current
westerly CIBA Geigy holdings for exchange for the 40 acres.
At this time we are attempting to keep all alternatives open in order to
develop a firm recommendation to the Commission. in order to continue to
pursue the property exchange alternative, I have executed an option
agreement for 29 acres. The specific agreement does not bind the County
unless ultimately approved by the Commission. However, that determination
must be made before March 26, 1990. - To consider this option an appraisal is
required. Quotes have been received from three firms ranging from $1,000 to
$1,800. It is my recommendation that William A. Fleming, SRA, be authorized
to do the appraisal at a fee of $1,000. The funding would be MSTU
Contingency.

exploring the possibility of acquiring the 40 acres owned by
CIBA-Geigy east of King's Highway which is needed to square off
our Hobart Park holdings. This is the piece missing out of the
County golf course.
Commissioner Wheeler asked if there is a specific reason
this can't wait until next year's budget.
Administrator Chandler did not know that it is an emergency,
but pointed out that the longer we wait, there is the potential
for the price of the land to continue to go up. He advised that
CIBA-Geigy has expressed an interest in selling the property, and
we are looking'at a couple of different alternatives - one is the
possibility of direct negotiations; another is that they are
interested in acquiring the holdings just north of their existing
property and possibly there could be an exchange.
Commissioner Bird confirmed that we do have an indication
from C IBA-Geigy--khat----t-lie-y--are w i I I i ng to try to make a deal on
the 40 acres that he has been trying for about 5 years to get
back as part of the County's park, and he felt another important
factor is that property values in this area are starting to
escalate rapidly.
Commissioner Scurlock advised that he and Commissioner Bird
have been kind of working together, with him looking at the
financial aspect, to try to figure out whether the golf course is
ready to go ahead and expand. If you play golf out there, he
believed you will see that the course is absolutely stressed. If
we are going to construct another 9 or 18 holes, there is a
timing aspect associated with that; so, the idea is to get a
whole package together so that we can act in a timely fashion if
we decide to do something.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, to authorize William A: Fleming, SRA
to do the appraisal as recommended by the Administrator.

to do the appraisal as recommended by the Administrator.
30
Question arose as to the cost of the acquisitions being
discussed, and Administrator Chandler advised that on the 29
acres, it is $407,000. For the 40 acres, he felt we would be
looking at something potentially more, possibly in the neighbor-
hood of $500,000.
Commissioner Scurlock further noted that, if the numbers do
work, we have established the golf course as an enterprise fund
and we have established that the County Commission is not looking
to subsidize it with ad valorem taxes. We have never done that,
and, in fact, under Commissioner Bird's leadership, the golf
course has had a marginal profit. The approach would be similar
in the future. Another aspect to be considered is that we
originally made a primary pledge of $446,000 from the pari-mutuel
funds. We have never used those funds, and our goal all along
has been that if we can show a sufficient revenue stream for a
long enough period of time, maybe we could refinance that issue
and release those funds. This may not be feasible, but we are
trying to get all the facts together to determine if we can build
another 9 or 18 holes without subsidizing.
Administrator Chandler agreed that we have a number of
alternatives we are looking at, and what we are trying to do now
is keep all of our options open.
Commissioner Scurlock commented that later on in our agenda,
we have a related item which deals with authorizing Utilities to
proceed with acquisition of additional property for a water
plant. He felt perhaps we should look at that as a total package
along with the item being discussed now as there may be some
possibility of a trade that would result in us acquiring the 40
acres that would not be burdened with the restrictions the state
placed on the Hobart Park property and then we would not have to
acquire an off-site piece of property for the water plant.
Commissioner Bird expressed his conviction that we need to
acquire the missing 40 acres to square off the park property
whether it be for the golf course or some other County purpose,
31

BOOK
and Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that if that piece of
property fell into someone else's hands, it could really
interfere with the operation of the golf course.
OMB Baird stressed that Hobart Park is a major regional
park. We started working 6 years ago to try and square it off,
and this is the closest we have come.
Commissioner Scurlock again referred to Utilities. He
pointed out that it is a resource available to us, and if they
are trying to acquire a site, maybe this would be an opportunity
to have an enterprise fund participate in squaring off the park
property and have the funds reasonably used in an efficient
manner.
Chairman Eggert felt that was a good idea.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION on the Motion
to authorize the appraisal as recommended by staff.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

OMB Director Baird advised
that he
put this item on
the
Agenda for the last meeting in
January
at the request of
Hough &
Co., but unfortunately, they still have not forwarded information
about the banks who might be interested in participating in the
program. In addition, they have a slight problem with our
application fee and our 1/2% per bond up to $10,000. They were
requesting that he waive that; he said he could not; and they are
going to forward something in writing to the Commission in that
regard. Since he has not received any of that information,
Director Baird did not know if they are possibly rethinking that
or not.
Commissioner Scurlock advised that, as directed by the
Board, he, Administrator Chandler, and Director Baird, did meet
with these people and came up with a positive recommendation to
try to work with the group to show our interest in low cost
house. He felt that now the ball is in their court.
33
BOOK PAGE,
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commis-
sioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously agreed to table
the above item to the Regular Meeting of February 6th.
Commissioner Scurlock wished to read into the record the
following statement which relates to the question raised about
competitive negotiations versus bidding on our bond issues:
"Municipal Bond volume in Florida totaled $8,566,000,000 for
the calendar year 1989, ..... This volume was comprised of 298
separate issues, for an average issue size of $28.8 million. Of
these issues, 282 (950) were sold at negotiated sale and 16 were
sold at public sale."
Commissioner Scurlock felt this shows conclusively that the
industry practice in the State of Florida has been negotiated
sale, and he further noted that of the 16 sold in Florida on a
bid basis, one of those was Indian River County. In addition,
the editorial in the newspaper recently which suggested our last
two deals were not bid is incorrect. The last deal was a negoti-
ated deal, -and-A-t---was-the--North County. The Library issue was a
bid, and the issue with FmHA had no underwriter involved, but was
a loan from FmHA. He just wanted to get that on the record.
Commissioner Scurlock informed the Press that the source of his
quote was a publication by Raymond James & Associates, Inc., in
their January, 1990, Municipal Market Commentary. He asked that
a copy of their bulletin be provided to the Press and advised
that they do not do any business with the county at this time.

The Board had no objection to tabling this matter, but

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The County staff has had numerous street light requests at
this intersection. Staff has visited the site and performed
a street light evaluation. Even though the location does
not meet our minimum. warrant criteria (score of 39.4 -
minimum warrant score is 56.25), the following special
exceptions apply:
1) The County has installed and currently pays for a
street light at all major intersections along 43rd
.Avenue between SR60 and 4th Street( such as 4th Street,
8th Street, 12th Street, etc.).

ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The Alternatives are as follows
Alternative 1
Based on a low evaluation score, deny the various
requests and not install a street light at the
intersection.
Alternative 2
Due to the special conditions at the site; install a
street light at the intersection. The yearly cost to
the County is $150 per year.
RECOTIENDATIONS AND FUNDING
_-.---It is recommended that Alternative #2 be approved and that a
p`street light be installed. Funding to be from Fund
111-245-541-034.31 - Traffic Engineering.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, to approve Alternative 2 and install a
street light at the intersection as recommended by staff.

DEPARTMENT OF UTIL TY SERVICES
We have received petitions for water service for both 23rd and 25th
Avenues, north of 8th Street. We now wish to proceed with the
design of a water distribution system to service these two avenues.
ANALYSIS
The project consists of the extension of a 12" water main on the
south side of 8th Street for approximately 200 feet, going east to
west. The project will also require a 6" line to be installed on
both 23rd and 25th Avenues, for the entire length of the avenues.
We are proposing to do the engineering design, permitting and
inspection within the County Utilities staff in order to reduce
costs by not utilizing outside consultants. The funds for this
project will temporarily come from the impact fee fund, ultimately
to be reimbursed by an assessment to the benefited property owners.
A complete cost estimate for the entire project will be brought to
the Board of County Commissioners during the assessment resolution
process.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the above -listed action.

ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR PROPOSED NORTH CO. WATER TREATMENT PLANT
Utilities Director Pinto reviewed the following:
DATE: JANUARY 10, 199.0 .
TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: TERRANCE G. PINT
DIRECTOR•`OF UTILI Y SERVICES
SUBJECT: ACQUISITION OF A 10 TO 20 ACRE PARCEL OF
LAND FOR THE PROPOSED NORTH COUNTY WATER
TREATMENT PLANT
PREPARED AND STAFFED BY: WILLIAM F. Mc
CAPITAL PROJE
DEPARTMENT OF
BACKGROUND
When the water master plan was originally conceived, the North
County Water Treatment Plant was to be located on County park lands
around Hobart Park. Due to use restrictions on these lands, it has
become unfeasible to utilize this property for a water treatment
plant site.. Therefore, we must now identify a new site on which the
plant may be located.
ANALYSIS
There are four main items which must be considered in locating a
plant site; they are as follows:
1. Proximity of a discharge point for the brine waste line, which
must flow into the river or into a canal which is tidally
affected by the river. This must be_looked at, as an eight
inch line needs to be installed from the plant to the point of
discharge.
2. Size of property is controlled by the availability of public
lands in close proximity of the site to use for well fields;
i.e., if the site was located adjacent to Hobart Park, wells
could be located throughout the park; if it were not adjacent
to public lands, more property would be required for the site.
3. Accessibility of the site to the proposed service area (i.e.,
the proposed distribution system for the North County area).
40
k
4. Ability to buffer the site from any surrounding residential
property.
5. Property cost is also a factor in this selection process;
howeverl of land on Kings Highway
, we do own a 20.22 acre parcel
east of Lindsey Pines, which could be sold to finance this
purchase.
_All of these items must be weighed in evaluating a site location for.
':the future North County Plant, as all the above items have a direct
"impact on plant construction costs.We would now request to
:--'.investigate all available land in the North. County area for
;: evaluation as potential plant sites. After this investigation, we
-:will come back to the Board of County Commissioners for approval to
purchase land for the North County Water Plant.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners authorize this department to
investigate available properties suitable to locate the North County
Regional Water Treatment Plant, and to come back to the Board of
County Commissioners for purchase approval.
Commissioner Scurlock referred back to the Board's earlier
discussion in regard to acquiring land in the vicinity of CIBA-
Geigy for possible trade for their acreage east of King's Highway
which is bordered by Hobart Park and--t-he---GGuniy--Gal-f Club.
Director Pinto assured the Board that he certainly will
coordinate with the Parks Department, and if there is anything
that can be done jointly, he would like to do that. They
originally looked at the Park as being the site for the treatment
plant, but because of the restrictions had to abandon that.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized the
Utilities Department to investigate available
properties to locate the North County Regional Water
Treatment Plant and come back to the Board for
purchase approval.
Commissioner Bird reminded the Board that we still have the
issue hanging in there about the cemetery and finding a piece of
property where we can transfer the rights that we have committed
to with the state so we can free up that cemetery property.

CAPITAL PROJECTS R
DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES
BACKGROUND
On July 17, 1989, the Board of County Commissioners approved the
award of a contract to construct a water treatment plant at Rivers
Edge to Hydropro, Inc.; originally, it was intended that the job be
completed without payment and performance bonds, as a manufacturer's
warranty accompanied the reverse osmosis equipment. It was also
intended that we reuse several of the existing components at the old
water treatment plant.
The bonds were required by both the Budget and Purchasing
Departments before we could have the contract executed, so they were
secured. The bond costs are to be covered by Change Order No. 1.
The existing equipment we intended to use has deteriorated to the
point that it should not be reused'at the new plant. Therefore, we
are requesting a Change Order No. 2, to replace this equipment.
ANALYSIS
The cost associated with the change orders are as follows:
Change Order No. 1. Add construction performance and $2,500.00
payment bonds
Change Order No. 2. Replace unusable existing equipment $3.373.25
TOTAL $5,873.25

2 R.O. SUPPLY WELLS FOR NORTH_ BEACH_ WATER PLANTS
The Board reviewed memo from the Utilities Director:
DATE: JANUARY 15, 1990
TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO
DIRECTOR OF UTILIT SERVICES
SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION OF TWO REVERSE OSMOSIS WATER
SUPPLY WELLS FOR INDIAN RIVER COUNTY'S
NORTH BEACH WATER PLANT
PROJECT NO. UW -89 -10 -DC
PREPARED AND STAFFED BY: WILLIAM F. McCAIN�
CAPITAL PROJECTS EER
DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES
BACKGROUND
The North Beach Water Plant currently has treatment capabilities of
.approximately .5 million gallons per day (MGD). Its current raw
:water source consists of two lower Floridian aquifer wells, one of
.,which should not be used due to the extremely high salt content.
F-jSince one well is virtually unusable, we find ourselves in a
_Z critical situation with regard to a backup raw water source, as is
required by the Department of Environmental Regulation. This high
..--:salinity well can be used for short_ periods-__.__of.____.time; however,
:.=production is greatly reduced, and the membrane life suffers. Also,
,' we will soon be expanding the existing plant by 1 MGD to accommodate
:;the new development in the North Beach area. This will also require
=�.an expansion of the well field.
ANALYSIS
mak-
-.t -To increase the water treatment capacity by 1 MGD, it is necessary
-...to provide an increase of approximately 1.33 MGD of raw water
capacity. The wells need to be in place prior to design of the
treatment expansion, as the water quality must be ascertained to do
:the design.
When this item was first brought before the Board of County
. Commissioners at the end of September, it was requested that several
items be looked into, and the agenda item was tabled. The items to
be addressed are as follows:
1. Option of using the existing Wabasso well field and
associated transmission main as a raw water supply.
2. The cost of engineering for irrigation versus municipal
water supply wells for reverse osmosis processing.
_`'Attached to this agenda item, please find copies of two reports
addressing the above comments. The staff of the Utility Department
feels that these reports justify not only the project itself, but
.the engineering costs associated with the project as well. We are
bringing two Work Authorizations to the Board of County
Commissioners for consideration. The first Work Authorization has
the lump sums that were listed (in the original Work Authorization)
for permitting and construction changed to upper limits. The second
Work Authorization has eliminated all resident inspection time. The
costs associated with these Work Authorizations are as follows:
Work Authorization No. 1 = $56,881.00
Work Authorization No. 2 = $25,000.00

RECOMMENDATION
Based on the Board of County Commissioners' request to reduce the
Scope of Services and cost, we recommend Alternative Number Two.
Commissioner Scurlock commented that he originally asked for
this item to be withdrawn, and now it has been renegotiated. He
wanted to make it clear that while there is a significant reduc-
tion in the cost from the original proposal, there is also an
internal cost associated with what staff has to do to monitor
this. He believed there (s a saving, but there is some risk
attached to it.
Administrator Chandler agreed with that point, and Chairman
Eggert noted that, in other words, this is an acceptable risk.
Commissioner Scurlock absolutely thought that it is. He
believed we a re---a-t--a---,-tage-i n the game where some additional
activity can be handled internally rather than using outside
consultants.
Administrator Chandler did feel that we can do this inspec-
tion, and we are going to try it.
Commissioner Bird wished to pat Director Pinto and Engineer
Bill McCain on the back a little bit. He explained that appar-
ently some water lines inadvertently were cut in Summerplace, and
a friend of his whose water supply was cut off was very
complimentary about Bill McCain and the Utility Department and
very impressed with the way the matter was handled.
Commissioner Bowman wished to know why the water coming out
of the Wabasso wellfield is referred to as "ultimate non -potable"
water in staff's memo, which is as follows:

SUBJECTi THE USE OF THE EXISTING WABASSO WELL FIELD AND ASSOCIATED
'CARRIER PIPE WHICH GOES ACROSS THE WABASSO CAUSEWAY, THEN
SOUTH TO JOHN'S ISLAND, AS A RAW WATER SOURCE FOR THE
NORTH BEACH WATER TREATMENT PLANT
The option of•utilizing the aforementioned well field and existing
transmission system has been investigated in great detail. It has
been determined that there are two primary areas of consideration
relating to this matter.
-The current owners of the system's (John's Island)
ultimate non -potable water needs for their community.
The quality of the water that the system can deliver and
;•�., the associated costs •(technical .aspects) .
'I will now summarize our findings in these areas.
-Through conversations with 'Daryll McQueen of McQueen and
.Associates, the engineer for John's Island and Jam Iisland
(irrigation systems), and Mr. Mike Rose of John's island, we have
founds
1. .John's Island will be reliant on this non -potable. water
system for their ultimate irrigation needs.
2. McQueen and Associates has just completed a report for an
expansion of the existing non -potable wat±r system in
John's Island. This project is already under
construction.
3. The expansion of the Irrigation system will raise the
current non -potable water needs to over 3.5 million
gallons per day (MGD).
4. McQueen and Associates has recently acquired an irrigation
well permit on Jem island. This demonstrates the ultimate
need for more Irrigation water than can be drawn from the
Wabasso water system.
5. Mike Rose of John's Island confirmed that the ultimate
needs of the John's Island irrigation system would be met
I
through the existing Wabasso well field and transmission
system.
6. There is currently an understanding between the City of
Vero Beach and"the St. Joi!n's Water Management District
that the well field and transmission main will be
available for irrigation so that potable water will not
be used foc irrigation on John's Island.
For the aforementioned reasons, John's Island doesn't wish to
relinquish the use of these lines.
P -00F. 78 PAC,106
Commissioner Bowman believed what they are talking about is
what they are pumping now off the Wabasso Bridge.
Commissioner Scurlock stated that is not right. John's
Island has more than one source, one of which is wells that they
are putting down right now on Gem Island. Then you also have
non -potable water from the Wabasso wellfield and that is
considered non -potable because the chlorides are too high.
Director Pinto further explained that even if it were
drinkable, it is a non -potable system, meaning that they are
going to being irrigating with it and that is all it relates to.
Commissioner Bowman noted that is what bothers here. It is
the same water and comes from the same aquifer she is using in
her well, which is potable water, and they are using it for
irrigation.
Director Pinto advised they also have put in another deep
well where they are mixing that, and Commissioner Scurlock
confirmed that they are not using the shallow wells as they were.
St. John's forced them to get out of the shallow aquifer. He
also pointed out that our wastewater plant ultimately will be 6
million gpd and there will be a significant amount of reuse
water. We do have a firm agreement with John's Island West for
reuse, and he would hope, since we are going right by their
lines, that we continue to contact John's Island to see if there
is not the future possibility of giving.additional effluent for
reuse to the barrier island and not have any reliance on potable
water for non -potable use.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
Alternative Two at a cost of $25,000 as recommended
by staff and authorized the Chairman to execute. --

RE: Priced Proposal for Hydrogeologic Services for Design,
Permitting, Bidding and Services During Construction
for Reverse Osmosis Wells at the North Beach
Water Treatment Facility
Dear Mr. Pinto:
We are pleased to transmit herewith a priced proposal for hydrogeologic
services related to the design and construction of two reverse osmosis raw
water supply wells at the North Beach Water Treatment Facility in Indian River
County.
The following attachments are provided herein as a part of the proposal:
Attachment A: Scope of Work
Attachments B.,C,p: Engineering Budgets
Attachment E: Work Authorization Form
We have requested our hydrogeologists to submit a proposal which includes a
bare minimum of hydrogeologist inspection time. It is our opinion that we
would have to do the following as a minimum and allow the County to assume the
responsibility for the balance of the on-site inspection:
1. ' Witness the drilling of the pilot hole and geologic logging operation for
the two wells in order to establish the proper depth of the well,
2. Witness the step drawdown test after the completion of the two wells and
provide analyses of the data to accept the wells.
The balance of general services and resident inspection would be the
responsibility of the County. This means that your staff will be required to
\ do the following: ,
1. Witness the drilling of the two production wells,
2. Witness the setting of the casing,
3. Witness the grouting of the casing,
4. Prepare the well completion report with the exception of the geologic
completion diagram and analyses of the step drawdown test which CDM will
provide,
5. Handle all pay requests and final project close out,
6. Conduct general services during well construction, including shop drawing
approvals and preparation of the well completion report.
Considering the above scope of work carried out by the County staff, the
engineering budget upper limit of $25,000 has been estimated. CDM proposes to
conduct this contract on a salary cost basis with an upper limit of $25,000.
Please keep in mind that this will result in two wells only. The pumps, well
head piping, valves, electrical controls, transmission pipeline, etc. must be
included in the RO plant expansion contract.
We appreciate this opportunity to serve you again. and look forward to the
implementation of this project. If you have any questions concerning this
proposal, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Very truly yours,

AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE_ AMENDMENT OF ANIMAL_ CONTROL_ ORDINANCE
Asst. County Attorney Brennan made the following
presentation:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Sharon P. Brennan - Assistant County Attorney tw?
DATE: January 17, 1990
SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE,
Presented today for your consideration is a proposed amend-
ment to the Animal Control Ordinance initiated by the Animal
Control Division and the County Attorney's Office primarily
to address the deficiencies of the current ordinance used to
handle dangerous and vicious dog problems. This proposed
amendment will streamline the process whereby vicious dogs
are identified by the Animal Control Division and owners of
vicious dogs are required to take on additional responsibil-
ities for these dogs. The amended ordinance also provides
for additional ownership responsibilities for all pet owners
and incorporates by reference provisions of the Florida
Statutes which pertain to Animal Control. The amended
ordinance further provides for civil penalties for
violations of the ordinance and provides that penalties for
violations of specific sections of the ordinance shall be
established by resolution of the Board of . County
Commissioners.
Because ordinances regulating ownership of vicious dogs have
been challenged frequently in recent years, the Animal
Control Division and this office have been careful to
recommend procedures which are based upon the vicious dog's
behavior, rather than its breed. A great number of
ordinances were reviewed, and Animal Control Officer Deborah
House and I have met with a number of local veterinarians
and representatives of the Humane Society to -get their input
prior to making this recommendation to the Board. Because
of 'the increasing number of vicious dog attacks and
Inadequacy of our current ordinance, it is the hope of this
office and the animal control division that the Board will
give serious consideration to the adoption of an amended
ordinance. If the Board grants conceptual approval of this
ordinance, I will proceed to advertise for public hearing.
For the Board's Information, the Animal Control Division and
the County Attorney's Office have been successfully
prosecuting animal cruelty cases and have initiated an
animal care class, in conjunction with the Humane Society
and the State Attorney's Office, whereby County Judges have
ordered offenders to attend, In the same manner that traffic
violators attend traffic school. The program has been a
success and may be expanded into the adult education program
In the future.
SPB/sb
REQUEST BOARD APPROVE CONCEPT OF ADVERTISING THIS ORDINANCE
FOR A SUBSEQUENT PUBLIC HEARING.

Attorney Brennan informed the Board that the current
ordinance is very inadequate in the way it deals with dangerous
and vicious dogs. It essentially gives them 2 free bites before
the County can do anything. The ordinance also is very cumber-
some. In addition, we need to amend it to provide that the Board
by Resolution may set fines for violation of the ordinance. We
now have the citation process, but only a certain number of fines
are outlined in the current ordinance.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, to authorize staff to advertise
a public hearing date for considering amendment of
our current Animal Control Ordinance.
Frank Zorc, county resident for 30 years, wished to read his
statement into the Minutes. Mr. Zorc expressed his full support
of the proposed ordinance and suggested a further condition
providing that any animal that attacks a person should be manda-
torily destroyed, and if the child or person sustains permanent
injury, the owner should be charged with a criminal offense. He
would like that to be made part of the ordinance, if possible.
Commissioner Wheeler commented that he had been tempted to
amend this ordinance when he was first elected, but took the
wrong tangent going against just pit bulls.
Attorney Brennan confirmed that it not only is very diffi-
cult to legislate against one particular breed, but according to
our Animal Control, the bites are not coming just from one breed.
Chairman Eggert suggested that a date of February 20th be
included in the Motion, and Commissioners Bird and Wheeler agreed
to the inclusion.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION with the
addition of the date of February 20th.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

As you are aware, the Manatee Protection and Boating Safety Ad Hoc
Committee met on Thursday, January 18, 1990, and discussed
further refinement of the interim manatee speed zone plan. Based
on the discussions and the Committee's voted recommendations,
following is a summary of speed -zone plan adjustments/refinements.
1. The Committee voted to designate as a ski exemption area
that portion of the Indian River Lagoon west of Pine
Island, from the Wabasso Causeway low bridge south to
Hobart channel markers, in lieu of the ski area
presently designated in the Jungle Trail narrows, east
of Pine Island. The ski area change is conditioned upon
public input at upcoming public workshop/hearings.
2. The Committee voted to require idle speed in the ICIV
under bridges, extending 100 feet to either side of the
given bridge.
3. The Committee voted to reconimend that a speed zone
exemption access area from the ICW to the Sebastian
Inlet be low for boating traffic patterns
to the north and south.
4. The Committee voted to make it clear that the ski
exemption area presently designated in the Pelican
Island Wildlife refuge is conditioned upon USEVS ap-
proval.
5.. The Committee voted to allow for an approximately 200
foot "shoal clearance" area in the Sebastian River, to
allow boats to go faster than slow speed to clear an
existing shoal. The shoal area is to be clearly marked.
6. The Committee voted to request that the Marine Adviso-
ry/Narrows Watershed Action Committee (MANWAC) look into
the issue of speed restrictions in the Jungle Trail
Narrows area for boating safety and shoreline erosion
considerations.
A joint public workshop has been scheduled to occur on Tuesday,
January 30, 1990, at 7:00 p.m. in the Sebastian Middle School.
The workshop is sponsored by the Sebastian Inlet Tax District, and
representatives of Brevard County, Indian River County, and the
State are expected to attend the public discussion (I plan to
attend).
The public hearing for the finalized interim manatee speed zone
plan is tentatively scheduled to occur before the SCC on February
6, 1990, at the Board's regular meeting.
Attached is a copy of the revised ski area exemption map, based on
the Committee's recommendations, for your reference.
Please contact me if you have any questions; extension 258.
