BOOK 80
Background
Each quarter, the Risk Management Division receives award
recommendations from the Safety Committee. The nominees, as
individuals or as work groups, have demonstrated their commitment
to on-the-job safety and health through their outstanding
performance.
Analysis
Staff received the Third Quarter Safety Award nominations and
selected Traffic Engineering Division's Sign and Pavement Marking
Section. The attached memoranda from Michael Dudeck, Traffic
Engineer, and John Butler, Jr., Traffic Operations Foreman, detail
their meritorious efforts. In addition, the Section has had no
vehicle accidents or on-the-job injuries in over one year:
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Third Quarter Safety Award be presented to
Public Works Department's Traffic Engineering Sign and Pavement
Marking Section.
James E. Chandler �..� Date
County Administrator
Chairman Eggert presented the Third Quarter Safety Award to
Michael Dudeck, Traffic Engineer, who accepted the award on
behalf of the following employees of the Traffic Engineering Sign
and Pavement Marking Section:
John D. Butler, Jr., Traffic Operations Foreman
Brian Battis, Marking Technician
William M. Webb, Marking Technician
Robert F. McAree, Traffic Inspector
Bernard Stecher, Maintenance Worker
James J. Croft, Maintenance Worker
Kenneth E. Jordan, Maintenance Worker
Jeftrey S. Susdorf, Maintenance Worker
Raymond C. Lehman, Maintenance Worker
Chairman Eggert commended these gentlemen for their
efficient and safe handling of all emergency and non -emergency
road closings and detours, and pointed out that these men work
with potential hazardous machines which reach temperatures of
approximately 5000 and work in roadways and complex intersections
with heavy traffic volumes, and have had no lost time accidents
for in excess of one year, which is truly amazing. She expressed
the Board's appreciation of their work.

ADDITIONS TO THE_AGENDA/EMERGENCY_ ITEMS
Chairman Eggert requested the addition to today's Agenda of
a report on the latest changes to the proposed manatee protection
rule for the St. Sebastian River.
Commissioner Bird requested the addition of a brief
announcement on tomorrow's July 4th activit.ies.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously added
the above items to today's Agenda.
CONSENT AGENDA
Commissioner Bowman requested that Item F be removed from
the Consent Agenda for discussion.
Commissioner Scurlock noted that a couple of items on the
Consent Agenda are in the nature of "sole source" or an extension
of an existing price off of another contract, and he has noticed
this occurring in the last 2 or 3 meetings. He was sure it was
occurring for efficiency purposes and that we are looking closely
at these items to make sure that they are cost effective. He
just didn't want us to get lazy, because that is a convenient and
easy way to do business, and he isn't suggesting we are, but when
he sees that number starting to happen, he just hoped that we are
continually looking to see that it is the best price we can get
out there.
Administrator Chandler assured the Board that every effort
is made toward that end through our purchasing policies.

TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER

FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
SUBJECT: PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT - SOLE SOURCE
BACKGROUND:
Pat Callahan, Director of Recreation has issued a Purchase
Requisition for the purchase of $11,956.57 worth of playground
equipment for the Kiwanis/Hobart Park project. She has requested a
"Sole Source" purchase from Miracle Recreation Equipment out of
Maitland, Florida. According to our present purchasing guidelines,
this equipment would have to be competitively bid. Pat has stated the
following reasons for direct purchase of this equipment:
1. Miracle is the only company that produces the Space Ship
Columbia, Rodeo Rocky, Lion, Frog, the Perma Lok 8' swing set with
chairs and two ponies, and CYCLONE SLIDE OF ROCKLITE.
2. Miracle is the only.company that produces the items in colors and
design that match the already existing equipment.
3. One item that could be substituted is the swing with six seats.
However, the County would be remiss to mix -n -match playground vendors
from a liability viewpoint for one piece of equipment.• The same
swing from Game Time is the same cost.

4. We are also receiving a discount of 6% from Miracle Recreation.
5. The Miracle Recreation representative lives in Indian River

County Playgrounds every two months and reports any equipment that
needs attention.
FUNDING:
There is $15,000.00 in the P.ark.s Divis-. Budget to purchase this
equipment.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the above, staff is requesting Board approval to purchase

the purchase of playground equipment from Miracle
Recreation Equipment, as set out in the above staff

SUBJECT: COMPUTER EQUIPMENT - BUILDING DIVISION
DIRECT PURCHASE
BACKGROUND:
On June 12, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners approved a budget
amendment of $36,900 for purchase of computer equipment for the
Building Division. This new equipment is to network with other

in February's bid:
Eleven Computer Workstations 80386 SX

SUBJECT: LIBRARY ELECTRONIC ALARM SYSTEM
BACKGROUND:
The two new library buildings will require electronic fire and
burglar alarm systems. We presently have a open-end contract with
Alarm Specialist of Vero Beach, Inc. to provide this type service for
all the buildings operated by the County, including Sandridge Golf
Club.
The following price quotes have been provided to install the alarm
systems in the two libraries:
Vero Beach Main Library $7,187.00
North Indian River County Library $3,447.00
Standardization of the security systems will enable the County to
standardize inventories of replacement parts, provide a single point
of contact for problems, and with this "listening" type system, will
provide for a minimum number of false alarms. Above all, we have
been able to apprehend the persons involved in burglaries of our
buildings with this type system.
8
I
ANALYSIS:
Construction of the two facilities is approaching a point where
pre -wiring for the electronic alarm systems needs to be addressed.
RECOMMENDATIONS•
Based on the above, staff recommends the Board approve Alarm
Specialist of Vero, Inc. as a "Sole Source" for the electronic alarms
in the two library buildings and authorize the expenditure of
$10,634.00 for installation. Monies will come from the respective
construction budgets.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved
Alarm Specialist of Vero, Inc. as a "Sole Source" for
the electronic alarms in the two library buildings, and
authorized the expenditure of $10,634 for installation,

meeting of July 3, 1990.

BOOK
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION:
Ocean Oaks subdivision is a proposed 19 lot subdivision of a
+ 11.54 acre parcel of land located at 1800 South State Road
A -1-A, immediately south of Genesea Subdivision. The subject
property is zoned RS -3, Single -Family Residential (up to 3
units/acre) and has an L-1, Low Density (up to 3 units/acre) land
use designation. The proposed building density is ± 1.65
units/acre.
At its regular meeting of July 27, 1989, the Planning and Zoning
Commission granted preliminary plat approval for the subdivision.
The owner's agent, McQueen and Associates, Inc., is now requesting
final plat approval and has submitted the following:
1. a final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary
plat;
2. a contract for construction of required improvements;
3. a Cash Deposit and Escrow Agreement securing the contract; and
4. an agreement between the applicant and Indian River County
regarding the construction of the sidewalk.
ANALYSIS:
The required improvements, with the exception of the sidewalk along
State Road A -1-A, and one hundred eleven (111) square yards of
cobblestone paving at the entrance to the subdivision, have been
constructed by the developer and have been inspected and deemed
acceptable by the Public Works Department and Utilities
Departments. A contract for construction for the cobblestone
paving has been submitted, as well as a cash deposit and escrow
agreement to secure the construction contract. The County
Attorney's office has reviewed and approved the submitted contract
for construction and cash deposit and escrow agreement.
The applicant has requested permission to pay off, rather than
escrow, their sidewalk obligation along State Road A -1-A. There
are presently no sidewalks north or south of the subject site and
the applicant feels that construction of the sidewalk would be an
unused improvement. The applicant wishes to enter into an
agreement with the county to pay the estimated cost of the
improvement and allow the county to determine the timing of the
construction of the sidewalk. The Public Works department and
County Attorney's Office have reviewed and deemed acceptable the
sidewalk agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final
plat approval for the Ocean Oaks Subdivision, approve the agreement
between the D -Y Associates, Inc., and Indian River County allowing
D -Y Associates, Inc., to pay off their sidewalk obligation, and
authorize the Chairman to execute the submitted contract for
Construction of required improvements, and accept the cash deposit
and escrow agreement which guarantees the construction contract.
10
_I
Commissioner Bowman felt that perhaps the developer was
getting off light in what they are paying for the sidewalk in
view of inflation and what the construction costs will be when
the sidewalk is actually built.
Attorney Collins explained that the money is put into an
interest-bearing account.
Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that if they built the
sidewalk today, it would come onto the County's maintenance.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously granted
final plat approval for Ocean Oaks Subdivision, -as set
out in the above staff recommendation.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On June 22, 1989, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a
major site plan application submitted by Michael Mann. Approval
was. given to construct an 18,000 sq. ft. retail shopping complex
at the southeast corner of U.S. #1 and 16th Street.
Due to- financial constraints has been unable to commence
construction prior to the expiration of the approved site plan.
However, since no construction was begun by June 22, 1990, the site
plan approval will lapse unless otherwise extended by the Board of
County Commissioners.* The applicant did submit a request for site
plan extension prior to June .22, 1990, as required by the site plan
ordinance and the Board may act on this request.
No regulations have changed, since this site plan was approved,
that would affect this project. Traffic and the level of service
on this link of U.S. #1 was a major concern, when this project was
originally reviewed. The County Traffic Engineer has recently
examined this project's impact on this link of U.S. #1 and has
indicated there is still no traffic concurrency problem with this
site plan project.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 23.2(G)(2), Appendix A of the
Zoning Code, Michael Mann is requesting a full 1 year extension of
the approved site plan. It has been the policy of the Board to
grant extensions to projects which conform to current codes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Michael Mann's request for a one year
extension of the approved site plan; the new expiration date to be
June 22, 1991.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by
Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously
approved Michael Mann's request for a one-year
extension of the approved site plan, the new expiration
date to be June 22, 1991, as recommended by staff.

Re:: Proposed Children's Services Councii;n
for Indian River County
Dear Mr. Chandler:
Please consider this a formal request to place on the
July 3, 1990 agenda, the question of whether the County
Commission of Indian River County should adopt the
attached Resolution and Ordinance.
The Florida Bar Association's Commission for Children
has, asked members of The Florida Bar to participate in
establishment of a Children's Services Council and I
am pleased to act as one of the spokesmen for a group
in this County. We would ask that the Commission grant
us at least thirty minutes to make a presentation
concerning the need for the establishment of the
Children's Services Council and present various
speakers at the July 3rd meeting.
As you will note, we also would like this question
.placed on the September primary ballot, if the County
Commission so votes. By copy of this letter to Terry
O'Brien, with the attached Resolution and Ordinance,
I*seek his input as to form and content. I might add
that the Florida House of Representatives has recently
amended the Education Reform Act, Florida Statute §125
and I have included in the proposed Ordinance, the
language in the amendment. I am enclosing a copy of
the correspondence from Sandra Coulter, staff attorney
for the Florida House of Representatives indicating
that the amended language CS/HB 931 (Education Reform
Act) has been passed by both Houses and has been
forwarded to the Governor for signature.
I certainly appreciate any consideration you can give
us and will try to assemble material for inclusion in
the Commissioners background information at least one
week prior to the meeting...
Please call me if there is any problem being heard at
that time or if this letter does not suffice to obtain
a -hearing before the Commissioners. r
Kindest regards,
/Cx-e

Children's Services Council of Indian River County, explained
that he became involved in this through his membership in the
Board -of Governors of the 19th Judicial Circuit of The Florida
Bar, which adopted the Children's Service Council by a unanimous
vote at a recent meeting. They volunteered their services to a
local group that was already formed, and he wished to introduce
some of the members who have been part of their ad hoc committee
to approach the County Commission on this idea: Madeleine
LaPlante, mental health worker in the offices of Kenneth L.
Director, M.D. and Attorney Wayne McDonough, also a member of The
Florida Bar. In addition, we have guests from Martin County,
who have come to give their support to a neighboring county:
Harry Yates, director of the Children's Services Council;
chairman, Pam Roebuck; and vice chairman, Jody Bondsmith. Each
of the above individuals spoke of the dire need for more
children's services in this county, as well as in other counties,
and their support of the establishment of Children's Services
Council in Indian River County through the proposed resolution
and ordinance before the Board for their consideration today.
Attorney Moss submitted petitions signed by approximately
850 registered voters of Indian River County who are in favor of
establishing a Children's Services Council.
(PETITIONS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD:)
Attorney Moss explained that what they are here for today is
simply to ask the Board to let the people decide through a
referendum whether there should be a Children's Council of Indian
River County funded through the establishment of a special
independent taxing district.
Attorney Moss emphasized that for some reason society is not
doing its job, whether it is the parents, religion, or whatever,
and maybe the government isn't the person to answer, but right
now, we don't have many other choices. Who in Indian River
14
County is responsible for coordinating all of the efforts of the
various private and public agencies that exist to help children?
He guessed the reason he is here is that it is the County
Commission, since they have the authority to place the question
on the ballot so that people can decide whether or not they want
a Children's Services Council. If their group raised petitions
from every voter in the county, they still could not get on the
ballot because of the nature of our county government. In
talking to the Commissioners individually, he knew that many have
reservations about giving up control of taxation. He believed
that if the Commission has the power to tax, then they have the
power to regulate the use of the money and to administer the
various programs on a local basis.
Attorney Moss explained that a Children's Services Council
would be established by an ordinance of the County Commission.
It could have taxing authority of up to 1/2 mill. However, this
requires the approval of the voters of the county, and it is
necessary to request that the County Commission place the
question of funding on the ballot, preferably on the September
ballot. The Council would be composed of ten members. Five of
those would be statutory: Juvenile Court Judge, County
Commissioner, HRS District Administrator, School Board Member,
and Superintendent of Schools. The remaining five members would
be selected by the Governor from a list of 15 names submitted by
the County Commission. According to the ordinance proposed
today, this special taxing district would have the power to tax
up to 1/2 mill if approved by a majority of the registered
voters. Its purpose is contained in the statutes, and that is to
control the spending of funds on a local level; to have local
people answer the needs of local children in a preventative
measure; and respond to the actual needs that exist, not in Palm
Beach County or Dade County or in Tallahassee, but here in Indian
River County. It monitors the effectiveness of the dollars and
tax dollars spent, and collects donations and obtains

governmental and private grants. It would be a non -paid body of
volunteers devoted to identifying local problems and directing
the efforts, free of any political pressure as to taxing and
spendi-ng.' It would exist as a group of local experts whose sole
function is to help children. Under the proposed ordinance, the
Children's Services Council would have to submit a budget to the
Board of County Commissioners.on an annual basis, and would have
to report quarterly on the expenditure of funds. They would have
the same constraints on the use of the money as the Hospital
District, the Mosquito Control District, etc. Some of the
criticisms he has heard from some of the Board members are that
this separate taxing district can control the expenditure of
funds, but the BCC gets the blame if the money isn't spent
wisely. He could understand the Board's reluctance to giving up
the ability to expend money, but he pointed out that the Board
will be doing most of the selection of the five local people to
administer this and to act as its eyes and ears and insure that
the children in this county get the best possible services.

Dear Mrs. Eggert:
The alarming increase in child abuse and neglect cases and the
increase in violent crimes committed by teenagers has created a
major crisis.
Indian River County with its high drop-out rate (49th out of 67
counties) and being in a HRS district dominated by Palm Beach
County, means that the special needs of our children can best
be served by a children's services council or a similar concept.
The decreases in federal and state funding for children and
pregnant women requires.the counties to meet the special needs
of our children.
I urge you to support a referendum to let the voters decide
this vital issue.

Attorney Moss could not say that these services will be the
solution, but felt they certainly will do some good. It can't be
done by private industry nor by volunteers alone. It requires an
organized effort of some form and the legislature has adopted
this form. However, it might be modified by the Governor with
regard to some of the language that says that existing councils
can go under the old provisions. It also has a provision for the
establishment of a dependent taxing district. He urged the Board
to put the question on the ballot and let the people decide. If
the voters throw it out, so be it, but he felt that our democracy
demands that they be given a chance to let the people have their
say. He thanked the Board for their attention and consideration.
Chairman Eggert asked if they still have this targeted for
September's ballot, and Attorney Moss advised that they do, but
it is difficult not knowing whether the Governor will sign the
bill on his desk since it is part of a large education bill and
this part could be carved out.

Assistant County Attorney Will Collins reviewed the
following memo dated 6/29/90:
TO:
Board of County Commissioners
FROM:
Char les P. V tunac�Countyy torney
DATE:
June 29, 1990
RE:
JUVENILE WELFARE SERVICES
Commissioner Eggert has asked me to detail the various
options available to the County to provide juvenile welfare
services.
Before 1988, the County had the power to provide these
services financed In the general fund by virtue of authority
given §125.01, Florida Statutes. Alternatively, if the area
In which the services was to be provided was an
unincorporated area only, an MSTU could have been created.
For Inclusion of municipal areas, a special taxing district
which would require consent of the municipalities involved
and a referendum to authorize taxing power was available.
In 1988; the state passed the Juvenile Welfare Services law,
§125.901, F.S., which, for the first time, gave the county
the power to create an Independent taxing district. The
governing -body of this dT_st-1Et would be appointed by the
governor and a referendum would still be required to
authorize taxing power in the district. The budget of the
district would not be subject to change or modification by
the Board of County Commissioners, or by any other
authority. In other words, the district would be totally
Independent of the Board of County Commissioners once the
district was created. Because of the reluctance on the part
of county commissioners throughout the state to create a
taxing body within their jurisdiction over which they would
have no control, the legislature enacted a new law amending
§125:901, F.S., to allow the county an additional option,
i.e., to create a dependent taxing district under the
authority of §125.901,.x;, rather than the original
authority of §125.01: A copy of the pertinent sections of
this new law is included in the agenda.
In particular, §125.901(7)(a), F.S., reads as follows:
Each county may by ordinance create a dependent special
district within the boundaries of the county for the
purpose of providing preventive, developmental,
treatment, and rehabilitative services for children.
The district is authorized to seek grants from state,
federal, and local agencies and to accept donations
from public and private sources, provided that the
district complies with the provisions of paragraphs
(1)(a) and (2)(b), and provided that the district has a
budget that requires approval through an affirmative
vote of the governing body of the county or may be
vetoed by the governing body of the county.
18
M M M
It can be seen from the second sentence of this section that
If the district wishes to seek and accept grants' and
donations, the district must comply with the new provisions
of §125.901(1)(a) and (2)(b) (see your copy of the bi11)
which still require certain appointments by the governor and
provide detailed directions for the operation of the welfare
district. If the County does not wish to comply with
subparagraphs (1)(a) and (2)(b), it may still create
dependent district, but the district would lose its ability
to accept grants.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the County may fund juvenile welfare
services:
1. from the general fund budget;
2. from an MSTU for the unincorporated area;
3. from a special district for all or part of the county
under the authority of §125.01, F.S.;
4. from an. Independent district under the authority of
§125.901(1);
S. from a' dependent district under §125.901(7)(a) which
district complies with subparagraphs (1)(a) and (2)(b);
and finally
6. from a dependent special district under §125.901(7)(a)
which does not comply with (1)(a) and (2)(b).
Commissioner Scurlock realized that no one in this room
disagrees that our present system is failing, and he had always
felt that the biggest thing wrong with the system is not putting
the money where the kids are. We have thrown a lot of money at a
lot of problems, but it hasn't worked or we wouldn't be here
today. He pointed out that we are not a democracy; we are a
republic. We don't hold town meetings on every issue, but we
certainly defer to the public on major issues where substantial
dollars are involved, and in this particular case, 1/2 mill is
approximately $2.5 million. He didn't want to do anything in
November that might jeopardize a clear presentation to the public
on the school issue. He would like to see us propose special
legislation to Tallahassee that is more specific to this county
rather than this generic thing that .is happening. He felt we
should have a special dependent taxing district for this type of
service, which would be done by referendum, with the provisions
of a 1/2 miliage cap and an automatic 4 year sunset where people
would have the ability to vote on whether it should be continued.

Chairman Eggert
felt it awkward to discuss this
today
without knowing for sure that the Governor will sign into law the
legislation sitting on his desk that will replace the Juvenile
Welfare Services law passed in 1988.
Commissioner Scurlock listed the many local agencies in the
county that provide children's services, some being funded
through government and some through private donations.
Chairman Eggert emphasized that the big word for her is not
"control” but "accountability". She certainly agreed that there
are needs, but the question is how we handle it. Do we put in
this extra level of bureaucracy with their executive director and
ability to have buildings, or do we turn to something like the
Substance Abuse Council of Indian River County, which is
coordinating government grants, or to the United Way, which is
another group that might do it.
Commissioner Bowman pointed out that we also have a Council
of Community Services that could handle it.
Pam Roebuck, chairman of the Martin County Children's
Services Council and attorney for all juvenile prosecutions in
Martin County, emphasized that if an independent taxing district
is established after October, we would be operating under the new
law a-nd wouldn't have as much flexibility.
Commissioner Wheeler noted that much is being done in this
county at the present time through private donations of money and
time, and he wholeheartedly believed in that approach rather than
in creating another bureaucracy. He believed this community has
answered the call in almost every instance he could think of and
that volunteerism works very, very well in our county. The Parks
& Recreation program, which has a $3 -million budget, is sending
3,000 children to day camp all summer long. He understood that
not one child who wanted to go to day camp, indigent or not, was
turned away. Last year United Way listed in excess of
$1 -million. The Substance Abuse Council has been authorized to
20
be a coordinating board to apply for grants for various programs
to solve the drug problems that are plaguing the children in this
community. In response to letting the people decide, he felt
that basically the people have decided when they elect the
members of the Board of County Commissioners who are accountable
by having to be elected every 4 years. He believed that once a
special independent taxing district is set up, there is little or
no accountability.
Commissioner Scurlock asked Mrs. Roebuck how she felt about
a.dependent taxing district, and she explained that with a
dependent district, the children's needs would be competing for
funding with roads, utilities, etc., and that the bottom line is
that it is a much more political process. She believed that
children have more of a right for their needs to be considered
separately.
Sue Banek, 7 -year HRS employee working in Protective
Services stressed the urgent need for more foster care homes, and
Chairman Eggert interjected that no one is disputing that need.
The question is how we should go about meeting the needs that are
not being met. Do we do it with a group formed by an independent
district or do we look within the community?
Madeleine LaPlante recalled that when they came here 31
years ago, the Board asked them to go back and put the facts and
figures together, and come back with a recommendation. After all
of the research they have done, their recommendation is that an
independent taxing district is the best vehicle to help the
children in Indian River County. She.pointed out that none of
the people involved in trying to get a council established have
done so for any personal gain. They have put in hours and hours
of volunteer time.
Scott Riley commented that he works as an employee in the
private sector and receives calls everyday from the HRS, the
County Welfare Dept., and Children's Home Society for donations

of wheelchairs and ostomy supplies for crack cocaine children.
The need is enormous. We have to act today, not tomorrow.
Bill Stegkemper stated that he was not in favor of the
proposed special independent taxing district, and although his
wife Susan signed one of the petitions, she had no idea that it
was going to form a special taxing district. She is totally
opposed to it now after having it explained to her. They are in
the child care business, but they feel that the County Commission
should set up a dependent taxing district.
Joseph Mauro, chairman of the Knights of Columbus pro-life
committee, was opposed to a special taxing district because of
the lack of accountability and because he felt it would be
"empire building" and taxation without representation. He and
his wife believe that today's problems stem from the breakdown of
the family unit with regard to moral values and the spreading of
that throughout the schools and the community.
Attorney Wayne McDonough, summarizing for Attorney Moss who
had to leave the meeting early, repeated the urgent need for
increased children's services in this county, and urged the Board
to authorize a referendum so the people of this county can vote
on whether or not they want to create an independent special
taxing district. He presented additional petitions with 90
signatures.
Chairman Eggert noted that nowhere in the petition is
mention made of the establishment of a special taxing district,
and Mr. Riley presented a copy of the statement that was
circulated along with the petitions:
PETITION IN FAVOR OF CHILDREN°S SERVICES COUNCIL
We favor the adoption of a County Ordinance for purposes of
creating a Children's Services Council to assess the needs of
programs providing services for the children of Indian River County
and to oversee funding of such children's programs.
.

CHILDREN"S SERVICES COUNCIL
THE Children's Services Council (CSC) was created as an
option for each county by the Florida Legislature in 1966.
Its purpose is to determine the needs of children in the
county. The Council would also plan., coordinate, fund and
evaluate services for children within the county. The
Council would not deliver services but would determine the
most urgent needs for children and would contract out to
other agencies to deliver those programs most needed.
The Council would be established by an ordinance of the County
ConTission. It could have taxing authority of up to 1/2
mill. However, this requires the approval of the voters
of the county. It is necessary to request that the
County Commission place the question of funding on the ballot.
The Council would be composed of ten members. Five okf those
would be automatic:
Juvenile Court Judge
County Commissioner
HRS District Administrator
School Board Member
Superintendent of Schools
The remaining five would be local children's advocates who
would be appointed by the Governor.
The 1/2 mill would be from ad valorum taxes but would not
fall under the county's 10 mill cap. These monies would be
for local use only, with decisions made locally by the
council for our county's children,
For a homeowner with a $75,000 home this would mean that of
every $1,000 of taxable proparty he/she -would pay 50* or:
.
Property value $751000
Homestead Exemption -25,000
Taxable Property $50,000
Compute .50 x 50=
CSC Annual payment--- $25.
The homeowner would pay $25. a year, if the -full 1/2 -mill
_wex-e levied. However, neither of the four counties with a
Council have found it necessary to levy the full amo.unt.•.
Early childhood prevention p.:c_rams would be the top
pricrit.y o: the Council. An auJI�C' of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.
Commissioner Bird asked if Commissioner Scurlock's
suggestion of a dependent taxing district could be accomplished
under the new legislation that is awaiting the Governor's_
signature or whether there would be some reason we would want to
do it by legislative act.
Attorney Collins advised that a dependent special taxing
district could be set up under the new legislation. The only

BOOK
difference would be that if the Governor didn't appoint the board
members and the Commission did, the district would not be able to
apply and accept certain grants and private donations.
Commissioner Scurlock added that it also would come under
the County's millage cap, which is why he is looking for special
legislation. He again suggested that the dependent taxing
district have an automatic sunset provision every 4 years that
allows voters to abolish or continue the district.
William Koolage, concerned taxpayer of Indian River County,
stated that he has been attending County Commission meetings for
17 years and he got to thinking last night, after reading about
this being on the agenda today, about the different things that
we have been asked to consider funding in the past year. It gave
him pause because he felt the first thing we should be doing is
prioritizing our needs in a 10 -year long-range plan which would
be tied into the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Some of the items
we have been asked to fund are:
School bond issue on the referendum this fall.
New County Health Building
Two new libraries
Courthouse complex
Hospital indigent cost
ALS/Fire Department
Sheriff's Department budget
Expansion of the county golf course
Land purchase for environmental reasons
Extension of Indian River Boulevard
Recycling costs
Childrens' services
New bridge
Road, water and sewer infrastructure
Beach renovation
Mr. Koolage had suggestions on how to save money on each of
these items, the main one being an extended use of the school
buildings after school ends for the day. The schools have a
responsibility to provide services to children who have only one
parent or where both parents have to work. What happens to the
children in the after-school hours? He felt it would be better
for the School Board to spend their money on this sort of thing
rather than on buildings that are only used 9 months out of the
24
year. Continuing, Mr. Koolage listed the various possible
sources of revenues to fund the above items:
1 -cent additional sales tax
Tourist tax
Ad valorem taxes
Impact fees
Municipal Service Taxing Unit Districts
New taxing districts
Per parcel assessments
Mr. Koolage stressed that we need to prioritize our needs so
the people know where we stand.
Robert Walsh, speaking as a concerned taxpayer, noted that
parents in the 1950s remember something that was called "social
environment", but our society seems to have changed to something
called "open living" which he felt has contributed to the
problems children are facing in today's world. Certainly, the
need is there, but he didn't agree that these needs will be
served by creating another bureaucracy. He felt it is time for
the biological parents to become concerned citizens instead of
what we got today. He didn't know how to turn it around, but he
felt that is what is wrong with the country as a whole.
Maureen Schlitt, member of the Governor's Constituency for
Children urged the Board to authorize a referendum for the
establishment of a Children's Services Council through .the
establishment of a special taxing district. She asked that in
the event the referendum doesn't pass, that the Commission not
drop the ball but do something to provide better services for the
children in this county.
Harry Yates, director of Martin County's Children's Services
Council, pointed out that nobody is looking at the early
intervention and prevention of children's problems. Sure, it
would be.great if all our parents were loving, responsible people
and both parents didn't have to work, but in most cases, they do
and we need day care -for these children. He emphasized that 80%
of the inmates in federal institutions are high school drop -outs.
Apparently our school systems are not doing their job, so let's
3 25 BOOK
�.� 56�
'JUL 1'`
'JUL BooK0 ,,E �.
let the school system do their job and educate our children, and
let's create a special board to look at all the other children's
services to work with the schools and the families and coordinate
all the existing services. He emphasized that there are many
agencies providing duplication of services, and he felt we need
to look at that because there is a lot of money being spent
inefficiently and ineffectively. Mr. Yates believed we need to
look at the problem at the local level and identify the problem
at the local level because if we let the State do it, they are
going to do it their way.
Judy Bondsmith, vice chairman of the Children's Services
Council in Martin County, remembered when she sat on the school
board in Martin County and considered requests to put certain
issues on the ballot. What she is hearing here today seems to
be a rhetorical difference between an independent taxing district
and a dependent taxing district. Rather than reinventing the
wheel, she suggested that the Board tailor its Children's
Services Council after the one that was established in Pinellas
County to meet the needs of the children in this county. She
emphasized that every single penny would remain in Indian River
County.
Chairman Eggert closed the public discussion.
Commissioner Bird felt that after hearing this discussion
today, we have 5 alternatives:
1) Do nothing.
2) Go with an independent taxing district.
3) Go with a dependent taxing district as suggested by
Commissioner Scurlock.
4) See what happens to the bill awaiting the Governor's
signature and see if perhaps we can do a dependent
taxing district operating under that new law.
5) Or, if nothing else, definitely come out of this with
the thought of appointing a Children's Services Council
in Indian River County to advise the BCC on future
budgetary expenditures relating to children's services.
26
Commissioner Bird was proud of his fellow Commissioners for
the amount of homework done on all matters that come before this
Board, especially at budget time, but we don't really know where
all the problems lie and where the needs are, and we don't have
the time or the expertise to find that out. Unfortunately, as
fair and as equitable as we try to be in the budget hearings, it
does become that the squeakiest wheel gets the most grease in
many cases, and those agencies and programs that have the most
political popularity sometimes get the lions' share of the funds.
Perhaps a Children's Services Council with the right makeup of
people with expertise in these matters could better determine
these priorities and needs and better advise the Board at budget
time.
Commissioner Bowman suggested an ad hoc committee that would
look into the Pinellas County program, set some guidelines, and
come back in a month or so.
Chairman Eggert had a philosophical problem -with an
independent district, but she did like the idea of a special act
dependent taxing district with a millage that isn't under the
County's millage cap, which is presently at 10%. If we could
achieve that, it would be the best of both worlds for
accountability and the public being able to state whether they
like it or not.
Commissioner Wheeler felt the dependent taxing district as
defined by Commissioner Scurlock is something we could pursue and
liked the idea of an automatic 4 -year sunset provision. In the
meantime, he would like to see the people who have worked on this
form their board and start to do it in the private sector while
we are waiting for the Legislature to hear it. He was concerned
that the Legislature may be afraid of setting a precedent by
taking the cap off. He felt there are enough people involved and
interested in it that they could set up their board and committee
and start working and get some direction from an organization

such as the United Way or the Substance Abuse Council.
Commissioner Wheeler knew that in the last year it has worked
and although it is moving ahead slowly, it is moving ahead.
Ms. LaPlante interjected that their group has been doing
that for 31 years since the legislation was passed in July, 1986.
She asked if the Board is saying that they want them to do all of
that again, but Commissioner Wheeler emphasized that he was not
saying that at all.
Chairman Eggert pointed out that a lot of preparatory work
has to be done before the issue goes on the ballot.
Commissioner Scurlock didn't see why it had to be that
complicated. He felt we have an opportunity before the next
legislative session to either propose a special act or modify the
current legislation into a form that will allow us to create a
special dependent taxing district with a special millage cap to
be approved by the voters, with a automatic sunset provision
every four years and the appointment of a board prior to the
legislative dialogue that is going to have to take place. That
committee could interface with the Commission to develop the
appropriate legislation for the next session. He noted that this
approach leaves the flexibility when it comes referendum time for
individual Commissioners to either support this concept or not.
He is not even asking the Commissioners to take a particular
position today other than taking this approach that moves us
forward with a concept that could be framed so that people could
vote on it and retain control.
Chairman Eggert pointed out that the Board still must answer
the request that is before us today, and that is whether we are
willing to place a referendum on the September ballot.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED
by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board deny the request
to support a referendum in September on the
establishment of a special independent taxing district
for Children's Services Council.
28
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird asked if Commissioner
Scurlock was planning to come back with a second Motion
supporting his plan for a dependent taxing district, and
Commissioner Scurlock stated that he would be making that Motion
immediately following the vote on this Motion.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
was voted on and carried unanimously.
Commissioner Scurlock felt he was ready to make a Motion
that the Board allow him to go ahead and meet with the County
Attorney's Office and come back with a more specific proposal in
a short amount of time. Since we soon will be going into budget
sessions, he didn't want to load it up to where he couldn't do
that. He felt he has pretty much laid out the framework of going
ahead and forming an advisory committee that could be appointed
by this Commission that, in fact, could transition right into
being the first board if this proposal was successful in a
referendum. The concept again is to establish a special
dependent district with the millage cap to be voted on by the
voters and approved, and that it would come back on the ballot
every four years to see if the voters wish to continue it, and we
would accomplish that either through special legislation or
modification of current legislation to allow us to have grants
and do all of the other wonderful things we want to do and with
the attempt to get the millage outside the County's cap. The
millage cannot be under our cap or we are going to be right back
to competing with bridges, roads, fire protection, etc. He felt
that would be a reasonable, intelligent approach to present to
the voters and he was sure good debate will ensue.
Chairman Eggert added that it would be with the assumption
that it could go to referendum as soon as possible, but
Commissioner Scurlock didn't anticipate it going to referendum
29 BOOK 0
JUL 1990

Fr-
sooK 80
until next March because he didn't see any possibility of doing
that in September or October and he would question the
reasonableness of trying to propose that for November along with
the school board issue.
Chairman Eggert noted that it also would depend on whether
the legislature has to speak to it, so it could be later.
Attorney McDonough suggested that since we will know within
a week whether or not the Governor signs the new legislation,
perhaps the Board may want to readdress this issue in the next
week or so. In the meanwhile they could have some dialogue with
reference to some suggestions that Commissioner Scurlock has
made, and then maybe they could get right on board and have some
definite plans in terms of meetings and proceedings.
Chairman Eggert asked if Commissioner Scurlock wanted to
work with a committee, and Commissioner Scurlock said he would be
happy to.
Chairman Eggert felt perhaps the best thing to do would be
for the people who are here to work with Commissioner Scurlock
and then bring it forward to the Board when they have something
specific on whether it could be done under what the Governor has
signed or whether it needs special legislation or further
amendment.
Commissioner Scurlock felt what he would like to do is have
them name their people to interface with him and, obviously, he
was going to have to work with the County Attorney's Office to
analyze the existing legislation that is on the books and then we
will determine a route. If there is a modification of that, we
can contact our local legislators and future potential
legislators and see what their thought processes are on it.
Attorney McDonough felt the sooner the better, and while
they understand everyone has heavy agendas, they were looking
forward to that dialogue.

COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK CONDENSED HIS MOTION, WHICH WAS
SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BOWMAN, TO THE FOLLOWING:
Authorize him to work with the County Attorney's
Office on existing and future legislation to form a
dependent district with a millage cap decided by the
voters and putting it outside the County's 10 -mill cap,
with an automatic sunset provision that allows
voters to abolish or continue the district every four
years, and giving the Board of Commissioners final
budget approval and the freedom to pick its own
committee members.
THE MOTION WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Sandridge Golf Club completed the third year of operation on April 29th
of this year. The first three years have proven to be a very positive
addition to the community and is fully self supporting. The golf course
staff experienced, especially during the winter months, a lack of tee
times [because of its popularity and the additional golfing.population
coming into the area ] .
The staff requested from Links Design, Inc., Ron Garl, the designer
of the present course-, to prepare a cost breakdown for an additional
18 holes at Sandridge Golf Club.
JUL 31990 31 BOOK
JUL 3 1990 poor 80
The fee for Phase I - Planning & Conceptual design phase is $10,000.00.
This includes a retainer: $2,000.00; Route pian center Lanes with
boundary envelopes and lakes: $6,000.00; and Conceptual plan (Master
Plan) with construction schedule and cost estimate of $2,000.00.
.The County could amend its earlier agreement with Ron Garl, since per
the County Attorney it is not necessary to use the Consultant Competitive
Negotiation Act.
Although this expense is not a budgeted item staff is anticipating a
revenue surplus for the 1989-90 budget to be well over the $10,000.00
figure needed to pay for the preliminary design fee.
RE7COMMENDATICN
Staff recommends approval on Phase I planning and conceptual design of
an additional 18 holes at Sandridge Golf Club and attached budget amendment.
Commissioner Bird explained that this is consistent with the
agreement we had with Ron Garl on the design of the first phase
of Sandridge Golf Club in which we had a cap on the construction
costs of the golf course where he got his 8% up to a certain
level, and then if we decided to go above that, he didn't get
anything further. Commissioner Bird anticipated that we would do
the same thing once we get to that point on this. He explained
that we really need to go ahead on this preliminary design in
order to finalize our cost estimates on construction and
maintenance of the course and come back to the Commission with a
decision as to whether or not to proceed with the rest of the
design. He stated that he was especially happy with Ron Garl's
design on the first 18 holes, and believed he will be able to
keep the continuity and consistency in the second phase.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
Budget Amendment #065 and staff's recommendation as set
out in the above memo.

DATE: June 26, 1990
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
During the April 10, 1990 meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners, the Board approved "Change Order No. 2" to
the construction contract between Dennis L. Smith, Inc. and
Indian River County increasing the contract amount by
$35,392.25. This Change Order was executed by the design
engineer, Lloyd and Associates, Inc. on March 30, 1990.
Following the Board's approval, staff, the Consultant, and
the contractor have had further communications, and all
parties are requesting that. "Change Order No. 2",be
rescinded and "Change Order No. 2 - Revised", be approved
due to the discovery that the contractor may not have
strictly followed the Consultant' design drawings. The
"Change Order No. 2 - Revised" results in an increase in the
contract by $30,736.12, whereas the original "Change Order
No. 2" resulted in a greater increase of $35,392.25. In
addition, "Change Order No. 2 - Revised" includes
reconciling unit quantity pay items to finalize the

ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
BOOK 80 F' L, ME)
Staff has reviewed "Change Order No. 2 - Revised" and
concurs that the changes are necessary. The Consultant,
Lloyd and Associates, Inc, has made an extra effort to
resolve the extra asphalt question thereby resulting in a
reduction' in Change Order costs of $9,035. Lloyd and
Associates, Inc, have also offered to issue two credit memos
to the County to offset costs of $800 and $214 due to
drainage pipe re -stocking fees and items not included in the
original bidding documents.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
At this time, staff recommends rescinding the Boards April
10, 1990 approval of "Change Order No: 2" between Indian River
County and Dennis L. Smith, Inc. for the Miscellaneous
Intersections Phase 3-A Improvements, and approval of
"Change Order No. 2 - Revised" dated June 11, 1990. Funding
to be from District 6 Traffic Impact Fees in the amount of
$25,000 and District 9 Traffic Impact Fees in the amount of
$5,736.12 as per the attached Budget Amendment.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED
by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved
Change Order No. 2 - Revised, as set out in the above
staff recommendation.
Commissioner Scurlock felt it is important to note that
there was a lot of work involved to resolve some difficulties in
this matter, and believed it reflected an opportunity for us to
see that when there is a problem, the engineer is willing to work
to resolve it.
Commissioner Bowman asked why the resident didn't pay the
cost to drain the property, and Public Works Director Jim Davis
explained that the road was sloped towards the yard and the
runoff was going into the yard.

SUBJECT: AGREEMENT BETWEEN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AND THE HERON
CAY CORPORATION FOR PAYMENT OF IMPACT FEES AND
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF UTILITY FACILITIES TO INDIAN
RIVER COUNTY
BACKGROUND:
Heron Cay (formerly Champion Home Communities, Inc.) was granted a
franchise under Resolution No. 82-122 by Indian River County on
November 17, 1982, to construct and operate a water and wastewater
system to serve an approximate 632 site manufactured housing
community. Subsequently, in1985, Indian River County began
construction to its West Regional. Wastewater System, and entered:
into a "Sewerage Treatment Facility Agreement and Lease," dated
April 26, 1985, with Heron Cay (Champion Home Communities, Inc.),
under which Heron Cay agreed for wastewater service to be provided
by Indian River County.
Under the April 26, 1985, Sewerage Treatment Facility Agreement,
Section 5.10, "Water Connection," requires that Heron Cay (Champion)
will connect to the County water system if such system is available,
and pay such fees and charges as are then in effect on July 1, 1990.
No impact fees shall be payable (by Heron Cay) on the property with
respect to water until connected to the County wastewater system.
On March 27, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners approved the
construction of the necessary facilities to connect the Heron Cay
Development as set forth in the April 26, 1985, agreement.
ANALYSIS•
The necessary construction approved on March 27, 1990, was started
on June 18, 1990, and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 1990.
The Department of Utility Services and The Heron Cay Corporation
have negotiated the attached agreement to set forth the schedule for
payment of the applicable impact fees and the dedication of the
water and wastewater system to Indian River County.

AND A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT WITH DR. HENRY FISCHER
(DEVELOPER OF SANDLAKE SUBDIVISION)
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -87 -27 -CCS
BACKGROUND
In order to serve the Breezy Village Subdivision (a wastewater
treatment plant we currently operate), the North County Sewer System
was to have an 8" diameter force main from Stratton Avenue to the
Breezy Village Wastewater Treatment Plant. Since we have taken over
the Breezy Village Wastewater Treatment Plant, we would have been
upgrading the existing lift station at Breezy Village as soon as the
North County system was on line. The Park Place lift station to the
south of Sandlake Subdivision was to be tied into the North County
Sewer System as well. In lieu of upgrading the Breezy Village lift
station, and the installation of the 8" force main on Stratton
Avenue, we are proposing the following:
36
1) Convert the Breezy Village lift station to a manhole, with the
North County Project installing approximately 460 l.f. of 12"
gravity sewer.
2) Connect the above-mentioned gravity sewer to an oversized 12"
sewer system through Sandlake Subdivision (via a Developer's
Agreement with Dr. Henry Fischer).
3) Gravity feed Breezy Village, Sandlake, and all flows north of
Sandlake to the Park Place lift station.
4) Upgrade approximately 400 l.f. of 6" force main to 8" force main
from the Park Place lift station to our North County system.
ANALYSIS
The economic effect of these changes is as follows:
1) 8" diameter force main - Stratton Avenue to Breezy
Village $12,690.00
2) New lift station at Breezy Village $50,000.00
TOTAL REDUCTION $62,690.00
By alteration of the Sandlake system via a Developer's Agreement and
Change Order No. 1 through the North County Sewer Project, the
following costs apply:
1) Change Order No. 1 (net increase) $ 1,373.80
2) Developer's Agreement $24,000.00
TOTAL INCREASE $25,373.00
NET SAVINGS = $37,317.00
For a specific explanation of Change Order No. 1, please see the
attached Change Order and letter from Masteller and Moler
(specifically Page Two). All of these changes ..equate to --a net
savings by the County of $37,317.00.
Also included in the Fischer Agreement is a reimbursement of
$8,480.00 for water line oversizing per our County Water Master
Plan, at our standard rate of $2.00/inch/foot of pipe (see attached
Developer's Agreement).
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends:
1) Approval of Change Order No. 1 with Utility Systems of America.
2) Approval of the attached Developer's Agreement with Dr. Henry
Fischer for utility oversizing.
Commissioner Scurlock asked.if this developer's agreement is
consistent with our other developer's agreements, and Utilities
Director Terry Pinto confirmed that it is.

We are writing to advise you of the Governor and Cabinet's action
Yesterday regarding the proposed manatee protection rule for the
Sebastian River.
The Governor and Cabinet made several changes to the rule proposed
by the Department prior to moving its approval. In response to
many persons opposing the Department's inclusion of a twenty miles
per hour travel corridor in the Indian River County portion of the
Sebastian River, the Governor and Cabinet voted to remove that
provision of the rule, instead making all of the Sebastian River a
slow speed zone. The Governor and Cabinet also amended the
portion of the bill related to boat motor manufacturer testing
operations [subsection 16N-22.003(7)] and added a new subsection
providing an exemption allowing ingress and egress through speed
regulated areas for persons residing immediately adjacent to the
zones who would otherwise be physically precluded water access to
their homes [subsection 16N-22.003(8)].
We will forward you a copy of the rule as adopted, once revisions
are complete.
Sincerely,
Pamela P. McVety, Director
Division of Marine Resources

Assistant County Attorney Will Collins explained that this
is in response to the June 27th newspaper story about the
Governor and Cabinet okaying speed limits on the St. Sebastian
River. Since that time, Ray LeRoux of the Sebastian Inlet
District Commission has advised us that on the last day of the
legislative session there was a change to the Florida Manatee
Sanctuary Act, which would provide an 8 -member mediation
committee in cases where there is any difference between a local
proposed rule for boat operation on the river and the State's
final adopted rule. Attorney Collins didn't have a copy of that
act as yet, but apparently the only substantiative difference is
the 20 -mile speed corridor where people said they need to have a
certain level of speed to get over some sand shoals. The
Governor and Cabinet did not adopt that, and as he understood it,
what the Governor and Cabinet did only related to Brevard County
and the portions of Indian River County in the St. Sebastian
River. He also understood that the Governor and Cabinet have not
adopted adopted rules yet for the bulk of Indian River County in
the Indian River Lagoon, and have scheduled that for late August.
Commissioner Bowman asked the status of the bill
establishing the boundaries of Indian River County and Brevard
County in the St. Sebastian River that was to be introduced by
Senator Patchett.
Attorney Collins advised that it was introduced in the
Legislature, and it was going to be handed off to Senator
Deratany for Senate sponsorship, but he hadn't heard the outcome
as yet.
Chairman Eggert noted that there is no real ability to take
any action until we get some clarification as to how these
changes will affect the St. Sebastian River.

LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR CANOE RENTAL CONCESSION AT DALE WIMBROW
PARK
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 6/27/90:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Richard N. Bird
Vice Chairman
DATE: June 27, 1990
RE: LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR CANOE RENTAL
CONCESSION AT DALE WIMBROW PARK
At the May 3, 1990, meeting of the Parks and Recreation
Committee, the committee approved the concept of having a
canoe rental available at Dale Wimbrow Park.
In connection with this, the County Attorney's Office
prepared a license agreement, which the owners of Sebastian
Safaris have executed; therefore, it is now necessary for
the Board of County Commissioners to approve and execute the
license agreement.
ACTION REQUESTED: Request that the Board enter into the
attached license in favor of Sebastian Safaris by
authorizing the Chairman to sign the license agreement on
behalf of Indian River County.
Commissioner Bird advised that the two representatives from
Sebastian Safaris are here to day if there are any questions.
Commissioner Bowman noted that another canoe rental group
pulled up their canoes just at the spot where various aquatic
vegetation had been planted in honor of Earth Day to the tune of
$400. She wanted all canoes to keep away from that vegetation,
and suggested that area be delineated in this agreement.
Bill Pollard from Sebastian Safaris knew that location and
said he would mark the area, but Public Works Director Jim Davis
advised that the area is now signed.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
the license agreement with Sebastian Safaris, as
recommended by staff.
