Cancellation of Delinquent Taxes The Board reviewed memo from'County Attorney Charles P. Vitunac dated January 27, 1992: TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS eg-el� FU FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney DATE: January 27, 1992 RE: CANCELLATION OF DELINQUENT TAXES The Tax Collector has requested that the County adopt the attached resolutions cancelling delinquent taxes on land which the County has recently purchased. The delinquent taxes arise because at closing the County collects only an estimated proration of the taxes due, and when the precise tax bills are sent out in November of each year there is usually some variance. These variances are too small to try to collect from the former owners. These resolutions clear the Tax Collector's account books. In addition, delinquent taxes may arise on some minor right-of-way acquisitions when the tax proration are not calculated since the properties are being donated or being taken against the owners' wishes. In these cases the County has undertaken the responsibility for paying the taxes due at the closing date. These resolution would likewise clear the taxes, as requested by the Tax Collector. The Tax Collector has requested that the County adopt a similar resolution for each piece of property the County acquires in the future. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Board authorize the Chairman to execute these resolutions and the Clerk to send certified copies of them to the Tax Collector so that the taxes can be cleared. 3 FEB 04 1992 BOOK 2 Nor 80 F11,J. 1 G ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 92-23, cancelling certain delinquent taxes upon publicly—owned lands, as recommended by staff.

Cash Forward in the North County Fire District was $89,069 less than anticipated; therefore, we are reducing their overall budget for 1991/992. RECOAMM.MATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached budget amendments. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved Budget amendment 012 as follows: - TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners FROM: Joseph A.

The parade route will be approximately a four -block area within Rockridge along 16th Street, 3rd Court, 15th Street and 5th Court, and staff recommends approval of the request. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously approved the parade route within Rockridge along 16th Street, 3rd Court, 15th Street and 5th Court, to be held on February 15, 1992, as recommended by staff. L. Gerard Koziel Appointed to serve on Treasure Coast Health Council ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously appointed Gerard Koziel of Indian River Memorial Hospital to serve on the Treasure Coast Health Council to fill the remaining term which expires June 30, 1992. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS PRESENTATION OF TOURIST STUDY STATUS REPORT BY REGIONAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATES Dr. Milton Redmond, vice president and principal of Regional Research Associates, came before the Board to present the first Tourist Study Report, explain its form, interpret the results, and relate what the Board may expect in the coming months. Dr. Redmond recounted that the contract for this study was signed on December 9, 1991. The firm immediately set up meetings with hoteliers to inform them of this study and hired people to conduct surveys at local hotels, art centers, chambers of commerce and the Melbourne airport. The surveys began on Monday, December 23 and the report is for that portion of December, 1991. For that reason the figures are tentative rather than definitive and were used as a means to get comments, suggestions and to set up an agenda for the next month. Dr. Redmond distributed copies of the report and directed the Board's attention to Table 1, which compares hotels with varying room capacity. The first chart is a comparison of occupancy rates for December of 1990 to December of 1991 and shows a drop in occupancy from 1990 to 1991. Dr. Redmond was skeptical of the 17 FEB 04 1992 BOOK 5F.�,c :' U PF - FEB FEB 04 �o� °� F*.1,E' reports from hotels with 1 to 50 rooms because they tend to think the study will not benefit them and they may not keep the data requested in the questionnaire, but he was confident the response from that group will improve. Commissioner Scurlock asked how the report will compensate for the downturn in our economy. Dr. Redmond said that would be measured against figures from past years, where those figures are available. From his experience in Palm Beach and Broward Counties he knows the hotel occupancy in those counties is down this year also. Commissioner Bowman asked what period of time the study will cover, and Dr. Redmond responded there will be monthly reports through December 1992, which is three months beyond the County's fiscal year. Dr. Redmond directed the Board's attention to another table which compares beach hotels to inland hotels. For purposes of this report, beach hotels would be those east of the Intracoastal Waterway and not necessarily on the beach. Again, this table showed a drop in occupancy. Table 5 compared occupied room nights. Dr. Redmond explained that "room nights" means the number of rooms in a hotel times the number of nights in the particular month those rooms were occupied: For example, 100 rooms X 31 nights = 3100 room nights. That same table shows lodging revenues, and Dr. Redmond explained that occupied room nights and lodging revenues may be inconsistent because sales tax figures are reported late. Commissioner Wheeler asked whether the study shows a comparison of lodging revenue versus bed tax revenue. Dr. Redmond responded that the figures for bed tax revenue for the month of December 1991 are not yet available. They are usually two to three months behind. He said that as figures become available he will make that comparison. Commissioner Scurlock asked about the mechanism of reporting on units that have 1-, 2-, 3 -week or 1 -month rentals. Dr. Redmond stated that is done by mail and some of them have responded. Dr. Redmond directed the Board's attention to the tables showing room rates. His conclusion was that rates have come down slightly, and his experience is that when occupancy is down, hotels will tend to drop their rates. He also noted that beach hotels dropped their rates more than inland hotels. There is a table which shows the origin of tourist parties. Dr. Redmond felt the Board would not be surprised to see that the majority of people who stay at hotels in Indian River County are 18 either Floridians, or from New York and New Jersey, with a good number from Canada and Pennsylvania. Californians make up a good number of tourists in this county because they take cruises out of Miami and stay in this area rather than in Miami. Dr. Redmond discussed Table 11 which indicates the various reasons for visiting Indian River County. He pointed out that non - hotel visitors, those who stay in condos or campgrounds or with friends or relatives, tend to stay longer than visitors who stay in hotels. The table contains information on reasons for vacationing in the county, facilities enjoyed, and average spending per party. Dr. Redmond noted an increase in short-term planners. Commissioner Scurlock felt the short-term planning could be because of the economy, less foreign travel and short stays; Dr. Redmond agreed. Commissioner Bowman felt that as the season approaches, the tourists who come here will have made their plans much farther in advance. Dr. Redmond agreed and said they will be watching for that. Other questions asked of tourists included what facility they used and enjoyed while they were here and what side trips they took. The category titled "other" was not specifically identified. Dr. Redmond mentioned he is awaiting approval from the Los Angeles office to survey Dodgertown during spring training. Chairman Eggert asked for a definition of "attraction," and what would be an attraction that is not cultural or Disneyworld. Dr. Redmond felt unsure what might be included in that category in Indian River County. Commissioner Bowman suggested it might include the Indian River Festival, air show and bike race. She also was interested to know the destinations of people who exit I-95 at CR512 and SR60. Dr. Redmond said that would be a different kind of survey, but during the festival and air show and bike race, surveyors would get some of that information. Dr. Redmond addressed the results of the question asking where tourists got information about Indian River County. He felt because this report was based on few questionnaires he would not put a great deal of emphasis on the result, but it gives a perspective for comparison over time. He felt with an increase in the number of questionnaires at chamber of commerce offices and in the number of surveys at the upcoming events, more information will be obtained. Commissioner Bird understood the report will be sent monthly and requested a quarterly update to the Commission by Dr. Redmond. Dr. Redmond agreed to do so. 19 F F a° "�Q I9 � BOOK b ;,,c r- �EB 01 4 ,9 BOOK 5 Frit 01 Commissioner Scurlock wanted the end result to be a document which would be meaningful and of benefit to the community as a whole and not used to prove a point by emphasizing a specific category. He gave the example of the question, "facility visited while here." While 85 percent may say "the beach," taken together with the other questions, it may show that they went to the beach but that was not the main reason for coming to Indian River County. He wanted to be sure the information was accurately interpreted. Dr. Redmond agreed. If the question is, "why you visited," and the answer is, "the beach," the next question would be, "did you come for other reasons and visit the beach, or was the beach the main reason." It would be further defined as to the various activities associated with the beach, such as sunbathing, walking, jogging and water activities, or just going to look at the beach and never actually being on the beach. Commissioner Scurlock thought, and Dr. Redmond agreed, that a high percentage of respondents said they came to Indian River County in part because they knew somebody here. Chairman Eggert thanked Dr. Redmond for presenting his report.

US -90 -28 -CS BACKGROUND On September 25, 1990, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved the firm of Kimball/Lloyd, Inc., to study and design the North County sewer collection system. The design study. was completed in mid 1991. Subsequently, the project was put on hold while our franchise status in the City of Sebastian. was debated. On August 6, 1991, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the Utilities Department to proceed with the project in, areas outside the city limits of Sebastian within thirty days of this approval. (See attached agenda item and minutes.) The Utilities Department has completed negotiation with Kimball/Lloyd, Inc., for design services and assessment roll preparation (see attached). The current project boundaries are as follows: bounded on the west by U.S. 1, bounded on the east by the Indian River, bounded on the south by 129th Street, and terminating on the north at the Sebastian River. ANALYSIS The engineering costs are based on an estimated total construction cost of $1,387,865.00. Actual design fee is 7.4% of estimated construction, or $102,700.00; survey costs are set at a not -to -exceed limit of $27,520.00. The above fee for surveying includes a credit of $3,980.00, which was contractually paid to Kimball/Lloyd under the study portion of this project (see attached original contract and the First Modification to existing agreement). The Second Modification to agreement is for the preparation of an assessment roll relative to the project (see attached). The services proposed to be accomplished are not to exceed a cost of $4,505.00, on a per parcel basis of $17.00. The Utilities Department feels these costs are in line with other similar design work previously performed for the County. RECON MENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners execute the attached agreement Modifications 1 and 2 with Kimball/Lloyd, Inc. 23 SEB 0 4 gin - BOOK BOOK 80 -L 4 0 Commissioner Scurlock asked, and Administrator Chandler confirmed, that this work is being coordinated with the City of Sebastian.

The contract was with Driveways, Inc., in the amount of $1,094.50. This work has now been completed (see attached agenda item and minutes dated October 1, 1991). ANALYSIS Driveways, Inc., has successfully completed its contract relative to the Sebastian Elementary School sewer connection. Attached is a copy of the final pay request in the -amount of $161.65; we are now requesting authorization to make final payment to the contractor. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the final pay request to Driveways, Inc., in the amount of $161.65. 24 ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously approved Final Pay Request in the amount of $161.65 to Driveways, Inc., for connection of Sebastian Elementary School to the County sewer system, as recommended by staff. EXECUTED FINAL PAY REQUEST IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR ROSELAND WATER TOWER/ROSELAND WATER MAIN PHASE III The Board reviewed memo from Utility Services Director Terry Pinto dated January 24, 1992: DATE:• _ _ JANUARY 24, 1992 TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATO FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY VICES PREPARED ROBERT 0. WISEMEN, P Q AND STAFFED ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR ROSELAND WATER TOWER/ROSELAND WATER MAIN PHASE III INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -92 -07 -DS BACKGROUND On January 21, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners approved the in-house design of the Roseland Water Main Project. The water distribution system preliminary analysis for North County completed by Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc., recommends a 600,000 gallon elevated storage tank as part of the Phase IA County Water System. The system with elevated storage tank was considered and selected by the staff to reduce the required size of water transmission main, and can be constructed at a lower cost. ANALYSIS Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc., in its North County Water Distribution System analysis report, dated November 1991, states, "The North County System will function with or without an elevated storage tank located in the Roseland Road area, depending on pipeline sizes along US Highway #1/Riverside Drive from Wabasso Road north to Roseland" (see the attached diagram). Selecting the construction of the water tower alternative, the County will save approximately $250,000.00, compared to the nonelevated tank alternative. Although the cost saving will be used to acquire the site in the area, the selected alternative shall provide an even pressure distribution in the North County System. Furthermore, the elevated storage tank will give enough fire protection flow for the business district in the area, without restricting other services in peak demand hour flow. 25 FED 0 4 i9 A s# d BOOK 8b PAGE S RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the project and authorize advertisement of the Request for Proposal for design of said water tower; also, authorize the staff to conduct a selection of the engineering firm and negotiate an agreement with the selected firm. Commissioner Bowman was concerned that the cost-saving factor was not really legitimate if the funds would be spent to purchase a site. She was also concerned about staff making the final selection of the site. Director Pinto explained the final decision on the site would be based on the consultant's recommendations. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved the project and authorized advertisement of the Request for Proposal for design of a water tower and related piping, and authorized staff to conduct selection of the engineering firm and negotiate an agreement with the selected firm, as recommended by staff. QUIT CLAIM OF PARR TRACTS WITHIN CITY LIMITS TO CITY OF VERO BEACH The Board reviewed memo from Deputy County Attorney William Collins dated January 23, 1992: 26 _I TO: The Board of County Commissioners FROM: �. William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney DATE: January 23, 1992 SUBJECT: Quit Claim of Park Tracts Within City Limits to the City of Vero Beach In April of 1989 the Clerk's Office asked me to give an opinion as to title of certain park tracts which were carried on the roll of County Fixed Assets. Two of these park tracts are within the city limits and maintained by the City of Vero Beach. Thus, a Quit Claim Deed is appropriate to clear up title questions. 1. There is a small "park" parcel south of Atlantic Boulevard and west of 37th Avenue. It was designated as a park by the plat of Groveland Subdivision filed June 15, 1925. The dedication was to the public. The plat was approved by the St. Lucie County Engineer. It should be noted that the plat shows the land as being in Indian River County, however this was approximately the time Indian River County was split off from St. Lucie County, so it is possible the plat approval functions had not yet been formally assumed by the. Indian River County government. There is no indication that the plat was approved by any city officials. It is my opinion that this parcel is dedicated to the public and that the public would be Indian River County. Unless formally accepted by resolution, title to the park may not lie in Indian River County, however an acceptance by public authorities can also be by an implied acceptance by public use. In any event, this park tract is now well within the city limits of Vero Beach and is maintained by the city. Attached is a Quit Claim Deed which would transfer any interest from the County to the City of Vero Beach. 2. This is a parcel identified as Van Busch Park, Lot A, Block 5, Replat of Bethel Isle Subdivision, Unit 2. According to the Certificate of Dedication of this plat, the park was dedicated to the public forever, on December 6, 1957. This plat was approved by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County on February 11, 1958. My opinion is that this park is also owned by Indian River County, but since it is within the corporate limits of the City of Vero Beach and is maintained by the city, a quit claim deed to the city is . appropriate . CONCLUSION: I recommend you authorize the Chairman to execute the attached Quit Claim Deeds to these two park parcels, thereby conveying title to the City of Vero Beach. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Wheeler, to authorize the Chairman to execute the Quit Claim Deeds for a small parcel south of Atlantic Boulevard west of 37th Avenue known as Piece of Pie Park and Van Busch Park, as recommended by staff. Commissioner Bird was concerned that if these sites were not maintained as parks, they would have some value for building sites. 27 FEB 04 1992 FEB 0 4 199' BOOK`S Deputy County Attorney Collins described the two locations and explained that these tracts were dedicated to the subdivisions as parks and could not be sold for any other purpose. They presently are being mowed and maintained by the City of Vero Beach, and it would be in the County's best interests to transfer title to the City of Vero Beach. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. COPIES OF THE COUNTY DEEDS FOR THE SUBJECT PARKS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD RESOLUTION EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM The Board reviewed memo from Public Health Director. Bernard D. Berman, M.D., dated January 28, 1992: DATE: January 28, 1992 TO: Carolyn Eggert, Chairperson Board of County Commissioners Indian River County FROM: Bernard D. Berman, M. D., M. P. H. Director HRS -Indian River County Public Heal SUBJECT: Attached Proposed Resolution for the Board of County Commissioners Consideration fT000ho� rj. Attached please find the proposed resolution Mr. Galanis spoke to you about yesterday. We would appreciate you adding it to the agenda as a Commissioners' item for the meeting to be held on the 4th of February. As you well know, HRS threatens to reorganize public health and to remove many of the environmental programs from the local area, establishing these programs in regional agencies. There appears to be no recognition of the community's needs or desire in this decision making process. Likewise, the state has failed to recognize the partnership established in Chapter 154 of Florida Statutes setting up health units as joint agencies with county government and the resources and investment these counties have in their local environmental effort. Because there now appears to be a real possibility that this trend may be overcome, we ask that you join with many other counties who have provided similar resolutions. Copies will be provided to the Florida Association of Counties and appropriate Legislative Committee staff. Thank you in advance for your consideration. 28 0 Public Health Director Berman expressed his concern that the plan as designed by HRS will assign several programs to distant agencies and people will have difficulty getting their needs met. Commissioner Scurlock felt if the effect of the chancre were not to have duplicate services and to be more cost-effective while delivering the services, that would be fine. St. Johns Water Management District and Department of Environmental Regulations are necessary because of regional responsibility, but by downsizing those agencies and contracting for the services with local communities on a performance basis the programs would be tailored to the community. Commissioner Bowman suggested attaching a letter to the resolution setting forth the advantages of establishing local environmental control boards. There are not very many such boards in the state. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 92-30 expressing opposition to the proposed reorganization of the State Environmental Health Programs. RESOLUTION NO. 92-30 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS WHICH INCLUDES THE TRANSFER OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS FROM THE RESPONSIBILITY OF COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH UNITS TO OTHER ASSORTED STATE AGENCIES; PROVIDING AUTHORITY FOR THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO TARE ANY AND ALL NECESSARY ACTION TO FURNISH THIS RESOLUTION TO THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION; THE MEMBERS OF THE HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES (HRS) COMMITTEES OF BOTH LEGISLATIVE BODIES FOR THE STATE OF FLORIDA; THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
