------ ------------------------------------------------------
Trillium Homeowner's Association (HOA) President Mike
DeGeorge and Vice President Sherri Davis used a PowerPoint
presentation to communicate their concerns over the
landscaping and irrigation damage they said occurred from the
66th Avenue widening project. They elaborated on the damage
to the plants in their landscaping beds along 66th Avenue from
lack of water, heavy equipment, and their landscaping company
being restricted from the construction zone, which resulted in
damages of about$14,446.
Administrator Joseph Baird and Director Mora reiterated the
County's policy that if vegetation or irrigation is put on the
County's right-of-way, the County is not responsible for the
damage, if work needs to be done in that area.
Discussion ensued regarding the right-of-way between the
HOA's wall and the sidewalk; and the need to obtain a permit
for any work within the right-of-way.
Commissioner O'Bryan supported the County's Policy and
reasoned that the sidewalk delineates public from private
property even though the right-of-way goes to the wall.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Solari, to approve the
replacement of the dead plants in the bed that is west of the
sidewalk (between 26th and 33rd Streets and up to the wall), and
authorize staff to issue the permit so the HOA could reestablish
irrigation in the right-of-way at their own risk.
Mr. DeGeorge felt the policy should had been explained better
and believed they should receive compensation.
Further discussion ensued regarding the original design
standards; safety issues; and the cost estimate of the damage.
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to
replace any dead plants in beds that are west of the sidewalk
and up to the wall (between 26th and 33" Streets). Motion
DIED for lack of a SECOND.
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner O'Bryan,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Solari, to TABLE this item;
direct staff to walk the sidewalk and identify the damage to the
landscaping beds west of the sidewalk up to the wall; and return
to the Board with accurate estimates.
Board of County Commission Minutes Page 10
January 20,2015
Administrator Baird asked if three bids should be obtained and

estimates, and bring the information back to the Board.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion
carried unanimously.
The Chairman called for a break at 10:47 a.m., and reconvened

a.m. (m-emorandum dated January 14, 2015)--_-------------------------------------147-149_
----- --------------------------------
Management and Budget Director Jason Brown provided
background on the Dori Slosberg Driver Education Fund, and
noted that in 2010, the Indian River County School District
stopped providing driver education courses in the high school
because of funding constraints. Due to the significant interest to
help provide driver education to local students, staff inquired
whether the School District would consider restarting a driver
education program, and they expressed interest, with the
understanding that the program would be funded by the Dori
Slosberg fee. He explained the options available for the
provision of driver education for Indian River County students,
and asked the Board to make a policy decision on whether to
charge the Dori Slosberg fee of$5.00 on traffic citations.
A brief discussion ensued regarding training through virtual
online classes and behind the wheel, and the revenue being
available equitably to all educational institutions in the County.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Commissioner Zorc, to direct staff to draft an
Ordinance to reinstitute the Dori Slosberg fund.

promote traffic safety for teenagers, the Dori Slosberg Driver
Education Safety Act, and the Indian River County Traffic
Education Program Trust Fund.

program.
John Bolen, Drivers Education teacher in Stuart, FL,

a.m. Evaluation
_(memorandum_dated January 9, 2015)___ 150-168----
Jill
50-168_Jill Grimaldi, Senior Project Manager with CDM Smith, Inc.
(CDM), used a PowerPoint presentation to outline the draft
Alternative Water Supply Evaluation report, which included:
the six proposed phases of the project; existing conditions;
reservoir sizing; the existing water treatment plant capacity;
agricultural demand; required acreage; pollutant load
reduction; cost estimates; aquifer storage/recovery; and the
pros and cons of adding a surface water reservoir (SWR) or an
Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR).
Discussion ensued throughout the presentation as
Commissioners posed questions to staff and expressed opinions
regarding CDM's report.
Commissioner O'Bryan read the Indian River Neighborhood
Association's comments into the record, which supported staff's
recommendation (on file).
The Chairman called for a break at 12:33 p.m., and reconvened
the meeting at 12:43 p.m., with all members present.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Solari, SECONDED
by Commissioner Flescher, to distribute the study to all
stakeholders, especially St. Johns River Water Management
District and incorporate their comments in the final report.
Commissioner O'Bryan pointed out that the second part of
staffs recommendation was to negotiate a cost proposal with
CDM to embark on Phase 2 — modeling to determine the
available volume of water in the Sebastian canal system. He
saw no reason to delay obtaining information on the amount of
water available, because regardless of what the Board should
Board of County Commission Minutes Page 13
January 20,2015
decide, the information will help the Board evaluate and
determine which system to go with.
Discussion ensued regarding data collection, unknown water
factors, and identifying the source origin of nitrogen and
phosphorous.
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Vice Chairman Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to include authorizing
staff to negotiate on a cost proposal with CDM.
Robert Adair, member of the Soil and Water Conservation
District for Indian River County, applauded staffs report; felt
the information would be crucial for developing a long-term
water supply; and asked the Board to continue looking at the
cost advantages of ASR. He also encouraged the Board to move
forward, and keep the process open to the stakeholders.
Chairman Davis asked staff to put the draft Alternative Water
Supply Evaluation report on the County's website.
Helene Caseltine, Economic Development Director, Indian
River Chamber of Commerce, supported staffs
recommendation and believed the information was crucial for
economic development purposes.
Chairman Davis asked if the motion was clear and Vice
Chairman Solari said to make it staffs recommendation.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion
carried unanimously. The Board approved the distribution of
the study to all stakeholders, especially St. Johns River Water
Management District and to incorporate their comments in the
final report; and authorized staff to negotiate on a cost proposal
with CDM to embark on Phase 2 — Modeling to determine the
available volume of water in the canal system.

the official Stipulation of Facts Agreements that Indian River County,
