SAID AGREEMENTS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD 10 PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM Dr. Peter Fallon came before the Board to request a Resolution in opposition to Senate Bill 1650 Regarding Title XI of the National Flood Insurance Mitigation and Erosion Management Act of 1992. He explained that $750 million worth of buildings along the coastline will be affected, which amounts to 15 to 17 percent of the tax roll, or $12 to $14 million in actual cash. This action will cause the present setback lines to be replaced by zones of significant, moderate and greatest erosion, and structures within those zones would lose their flood insurance, and without flood insurance those buildings would not have any marketable value. If the bill passes, Dr. Fallon stressed this would cause a terrible impact on the tax roll of beachfront property which in turn would translate into reduction of public safety services, and most importantly, reduction of school funding. Chairman Eggert understood that some areas west of the river also would, be in the new zone categories, which Dr. Fallon confirmed. Commissioner Scurlock reported that his brief research into this issue shows that originally the national flood insurance program was focussed on the river basins rather than coastal communities, which Dr. Fallon confirmed. Chairman Eggert agreed, and added that the details of the bill cause concern because it affects not only coastline structures but also the west portion of the county. It is unclear as to what the results may be and what will happen with the changed zone categories in the future. Commissioner Scurlock felt the bottom line of the legislation is to say, "Don't build down near the water, period," but it is much more complex because when rivers rise and people get flooded, we all are paying for it, and the results become complex. Dr. Fallon advised that this very bill excludes the Mississippi River Basin area, which comprises 43 percent of all the claims. The bill is really meant for areas like North Carolina that have no coastal management zones in force. Discussion ensued about the status of the legislation and Dr. Fallon explained that the bill is out of the committee and is moving forward as an amendment to Senator Alan Cranston's National Housing Bill. It has passed through the House of Representatives and will be introduced in the Senate on the 21st. Dr. Fallon pointed out that some politicians voted for the bill without reading it and mentioned Representative Jim Bacchus as one such individual. 11 BOOK F, MAY I CD �9' d BOOK 86 F'A";E 452. Chairman Eggert thought that is because it is attached to the National Housing Act and people are not aware if it. Commissioner Scurlock felt national flood insurance is such a large and complicated issue that it is difficult to be knowledgeable. He felt the insurance industry should have taken a much more active role to give some guidance. Dr. Fallon estimated that Florida paid 40 percent of the premiums in this program, approximately $350 million per year since 1960, and have total claims of only $150 million. He also pointed out that after the disaster of Hurricane Hugo, $150 million came from the insurance reserve fund and the balance from the disaster relief fund. Actuarially, the insurance program pays for itself and retains a large reserve. He emphasized that the bill would exclude the areas which cause the most losses and that is the Mississippi riverine area, which almost regularly overflows. Commissioner Scurlock felt caught between supporting the concept of encouraging people to move back from river basins and the coastline on the one hand and realizing that the issues of assessed value and property rights are also involved. Commissioner Wheeler expressed the impracticality of everyone moving to high ground. Commissioner Scurlock did not want to pay for an individual who chooses to live right next to water which he knows will flood out regularly, and his understanding was that Dr. Fallon said the insurance program is not subsidized. Dr. Fallon confirmed that fact and added that with our coastal management controls in existence in Florida, we should not be penalized along with other areas where structures are built out into the water and are destroyed each year. Dr. Fallon informed the Board that one of the consequences of the bill would be that homes built 30, 25, 10 years ago in full compliance with all the construction standards and all the FEMA regulations could end up in a new zone because of the new regulations. The owners would be offered 40 percent of the value to a maximum of $74,000, irrespective of the value of the house, to move the house back. They would be offered 110 percent to demolish the house. In the preamble to the bill, paragraph 18 says due to the amount of homelessness in the United States and the problem we have with it, before we suggest the home or structure be demolished or moved back, it be given to the homeless. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Chairman Eggert, to adopt the proposed resolution. 12 Under discussion, Commissioner Scurlock asked what the deadline is on this bill, and Dr. Fallon explained that it passed the House last year and is currently in the Senate. It is attached to the National Housing Bill and he thought that was unfair. Commissioner Bowman did not want to see this bill passed but would like to see it reworked. Commissioner Scurlock supported the concept of encouraging people to move back from danger to eliminate the long range expense of major disasters, but he felt the process is complex and could not be accomplished in one day. Chairman Eggert pointed out that this resolution addresses our opposition to this one bill without giving direction as to what our wishes are. Commissioner Wheeler was not a supporter of the national flood insurance program and does not support this bill because of the impact it would have on everyone, even those who live in the west portion of the county 25 feet above sea level. Commissioner Scurlock recommended, and the County Attorney agreed that the Resolution could be rewritten to reflect the Board's feeling that the legislation under consideration as Senate Bill 1650 is insufficient and we consider it detrimental to our county and that it needs further work to address some of the problems. The Board agreed that the County Attorney could rewrite the Resolution and did not have to bring it back for approval. Chairman Eggert pointed out that the Resolution should refer to Senate Bill 1650, Title XI, National Flood Insurance Mitigation and Erosion Management Act of 1992, known as the National Housing Bill. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-1, Commissioner Bird being absent) adopted Resolution 92-76, opposing Senate Bill 1650 regarding Title XI, National Flood Insurance Mitigation and Erosion Management Act of 1992 as it is currently worded and recommending certain changes which would make the proposed law acceptable. 13 MAY ig� e._ F, moK 86 F ,Ab RESOLUTION NO. 92- 76 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, OPPOSING SENATE BILL 1650 REGARDING TITLE XI - NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE MITIGATION AND EROSION MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1992, AS IT IS CURRENTLY WORDED, AND RECOMMENDING CERTAIN CHANGES WHICH WOULD MAKE THE PROPOSED LAW ACCEPTABLE. WHEREAS, the United States House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed H.R. 1236, which, if enacted in the U.S. Senate, would materially change the scope of the original National Flood Insurance Program established in 1968; and WHEREAS, the bill is currently being deliberated in the U.S. Senate as S. 1650 (now Title XI - National Flood Insurance Mitigation and Erosion Management Act of 1992); and WHEREAS, the bill would require the establishment of 10 -year, 30 -year, and 60 -year erosion control zones for every coastal community in the nation; and WHEREAS, the bill would ultimately prevent all structures within these coastal erosion zones from being insured under the National Flood Insurance Program; and WHEREAS, the bill would prohibit mortgage financing institutions from financing structures within flood -prone areas unless such structures are insured under the National Flood Insurance Program; and WHEREAS, the bill would therefore greatly diminish the value of property within virtually every coastal community in the nation because owners could not insure the structures on their property or sell to buyers having to finance the purchase of such property; and WHEREAS, the Property Appraiser of Indian River County has projected the loss of value of this property for land on the barrier island alone, without consideration of our mainland riverine areas, to be over $750,000,000 and has concluded that the bill would drastically reduce the tax base of Indian River County; and 14 WHEREAS, the bill would impose no similar prohibitions on the insurability of structures within other areas of the nation which are flood -prone, such as riverine areas, even though statistics show that the number and value of flood insurance claims from riverine areas have exceeded those from coastal areas; and WHEREAS, the bill would provide a total of only $5,000,000 per year nationally for property owners within the coastal erosion zone to demolish their structures or remove them from the zones, even though the bill's provisions authorize the subsidy of up to 110% of the cost of demolition or removal of every structure; and WHEREAS, the bill, which was not widely publicized during its passage through the House of Representatives, needs more study; and WHEREAS, the Senate should not enact the bill in its present form because the bill is neither actuarially sound nor fundamentally fair and should be further scrutinized; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that: 1. The Board urges the Senate to reject Senate Bill 1650 as it is presently written and study the facts surrounding the National Flood Insurance Program further to ensure that the program is actuarially sound and fundamentally fair and urges the Senate to revisit the exception of riverine areas from the bill. 2. A copy of this resolution be sent to both Florida Senators and the subcommittee on Housing and Urban Affairs of the U.S. Senate . The resolution was moved for adoption by Commissioner Scurlock , and the motion was seconded by Commissioner Bowman , and, upon being put to a vote, the vote was as follows: Chairman Carolyn K. Eggert Aye Vice Chairman Margaret C. Bowman Aye Commissioner Don C. Scurlock, Jr. Aye Commissioner Richard N. Bird Absent Commissioner Gary C.

UW -92 -13 -DS RESOLUTION III BACKGROUND On April 21, 1992, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution I (92-62) and Resolution II (92-63). Resolution I contained the preliminary assessment roll describing the project and cost. Resolution II set the date of the public hearing for the subject project. Property owners have been notified of the public hearing by certified mail. Resolution I (92-62) was published in the Vero Beach PRESS JOURNAL on April 24, 1992. (See attached agenda item and minutes of the above meeting.) ANALYSIS Design of the water distribution system is complete. An informational meeting was held with the property owners on April 28, 1992. The cost per square foot is $0.07247489057. The project will serve 2 nonplatted parcels on the north side of 40th Street, together with the 33 platted lots in the petition. There are 23 lots in this project that are substandard or "undersized," according to Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan. The County Public Health Unit, Division of Environmental Health, requires that new lots utilizing well and septic systems be a minimum of 1/2 acre. If served by a public water system, the lot may be reduced to 1/4 acre in size. Lots not meeting these minimum standards are called "undersized lots." The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment project. The total estimated cost to be assessed is $48,729.00. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve Resolution III, which affirms the preliminary assessment on the subject project. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. 21 MAY i, MV moK L MAY 9 1992 BOOK D F',,UE 4 T Ron Rennick, 501 Gardenia Lane, owner of an unplatted parcel which lies directly east of the Indian River Mosquito Control District property, wished to be excluded from this project because in his opinion he will not specifically benefit since county water has been available to his property for a couple of years from the 41st Street water line extension. Commissioner Scurlock asked whether he had been assessed for the 41st Street water line extension project, and Mr. Rennick responded that the 41st Street project was an FHA project, and as a federally funded project everyone paid for it. Commissioner Scurlock asked, and Utility Services Director Terry Pinto confirmed that Mr. Rennick was not assessed for the 41st Street project. Mr. Rennick argued that the proposed water line extension will not benefit his property because a water line could be placed from 41st Street, and he does not need water from two ends. Commissioner Bowman pointed out that he has not contributed his share to the 41st Street water line. Mr. Chastain reminded the Board that this property was assessed only to a depth of 150 feet along the 360 -foot frontage on 40th Street. County Attorney Charles Vitunac advised that Mr. Rennick is benefitting from this line right now in the sense that presently there is water available on the southern half of the property. If he divided the parcel or otherwise sold it or split it, the southern half would have water instantly. It is correct that he can drop a line all the way from the north if he wants to, but he must pay for the benefit he has now. Commissioner Scurlock asked, and Utility Services Director Pinto confirmed that the assessment is equitable. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-1, Commissioner Bird being absent) adopted Resolution 92-78 confirming the special assessments in connection with a water line extension to Kings Highway Subdivision and replat of Blocks 1, 2, 3, and 4, 39th and 40th Streets east of Kings Highway, and also 56th Avenue, as recommended by staff.

He felt sure the Board realized the great work that Dr. King did in this country to benefit not one nationality but to benefit the entire world. He looks forward to continued cooperation in this endeavor and expressed his appreciation for the Board's efforts. Commissioner Scurlock suggested that the county newsletter include some history about Dr. King's contributions to our country as a way to observe his birthday, and Chairman Eggert felt the January issue of the newsletter would be appropriate for that message. County Administrator Jim Chandler responded that he would initiate that policy. FY 1992-93 ANTI-DRUG ABUSE GRANT FUNDING Tabled for one week. APPROVAL OF FUNDS FROM GRAND HARBOR DRI FOR RED CROSS TO PREPARE EMERGENCY SHELTER AT GIFFORD MIDDLE SEVEN SCHOOL The Board reviewed memo from Emergency Services Director Doug Wright dated May 8, 1992: TO: Board of County Commissioners THROUGH: Jim Chandler County AdmiziStr for FROM: Doug Wrigh, irector Emergency Services DATE: May 8, 1992 SUBJECT: Approval of Funds from Grand Harbor DRI for Red Cross to Prepare Emergency Shelter at Gifford Middle Seven School It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at the next regular scheduled meeting. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The Board of County Commissioners approved a development for Grand Harbor in Resolution No. 85-128 in 1985. Paragraph 44 of the development order provided for limiting issuance of Certificates of Occupancy until such time as the developer provided adequate emergency shelter space- to accommodate existing needs or an equivalent cash contribution to retrofit and upgrade an existing shelter off site. 26 HOLIDAY SURVEY OF COUNTY EMPLOYEES The Board reviewed memo from Personnel Director Jack Price dated May 5, 1992: To: James Chandler, Date: May 5, 1992 County Administrator From: Jack Price, Personnelyake-4 Sub: Holiday Survey of County Employees At the Board of County Commissioner's meeting April 14, 1992, staff was asked to conduct a survey of County employees regarding the possible exchange of an existing holiday for Martin Luther King's birthday. With 523 valid ballots returned, the results are reported on the attached ballot form. OLIDAY OUESTIONNA The Board of County Commissioners asked that employees be surveyed concerning observance of Martin Luther Ring, Jr.'s birthday (it falls on January 18 in 1993) in exchange for one of the existing paid holidays. Martin Luther Ring, Jr.'s birthday will become a regular paid holiday if the exchange is made. You would still have a total of 10 paid holidays per year. Please answer both questions below and turn the ballot in to your supervisor today. Thank you. ----------------- ----------------------------------------------- Do you want to exchange one existing paid holiday for Martin Luther Ring, Jr.'s birthday, making it a regular paid holiday? YES 52 NO 471 If such an exchange is made, even if you said "no" above, which holiday would you be most willing to give up? check one blank: - - 6 New Year's Day - January 51 Good Friday - April 3 Memorial Day - May 2 Independence Day - July 10 Labor Day - September 102 Veteran's Day - November 3 Thanksgiving Day - November 41 Day After Thanksgiving - November 10 Day Before Christmas - December 50 Christmas Day - December ----------------------------------------------------------------- 25 illA i � 1992 :j a' �y In November 1989, Grand Harbor representatives met with county staff to negotiate an equivalent cash contribution to upgrade an off-site shelter for use by Grand Harbor residents. County staff then took their recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners who approved the final agreement. The development order provided for a total of $90,000 with a $50,000 installment payable before issuance of Certificate of Occupancy No. 301 and the $40,000 balance is due before Certificate of Occupancy No. 11201 is issued unless the Director of Emergency Services determines the off site shelter capacity is inadequate. The agreement also provided for Grand Harbor to donate 1.1 acres of land at the northwest corner of the intersection of Indian River Boulevard and 45th Street for an Emergency Services provider station. The $50,000 installment has been received and the real property has been conveyed to the County. On April 21, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners approved funding totaling $28,889 for the purchase of an emergency generator to be installed at Gifford Middle Seven School in a joint venture with the School District. The Board also approved funds included in the above amount for engineering fees and modification of the facility to upgrade it to an emergency shelter for use by Grand Harbor residents and other citizens in the area. A portion of the funds received by the County are now needed by the Red Cross to meet standard requirements for an emergency shelter. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The Red Cross is an integral part of any emergency shelter operation during natural or manmade disasters. Staff from the Red Cross also participated in negotiations with county staff and representatives from Grand Harbor relating to the off site shelter. The Red Cross is now requesting $6,500 of the revenue received from Grand Harbor to prepare, equip and stock certain items in the shelter prior to the hurricane season. A balance of $21,111 remains in the DRI account. If the Board approves the Red Cross request for $6,500, a balance of $14,611 will remain for future use as the Board may deem appropriate. RECOIr MNDATION Staff feels the request as stated by the Red Cross for $6,500 for use by the Red Cross is fair and justified to prepare the emergency shelter. Therefore, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the requested funding. Commissioner Scurlock asked for clarification, and Emergency Services Director Doug Wright confirmed that the Red Cross will prepare this shelter site. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-1, Commissioner Bird being absent) approved transfer of $6,500 to the Red Cross from the Grand Harbor Development of Regional Impact funds, as recommended by staff. 27 �� �� 1992 MAY ig 1992 BOOK 6,6 Pa - E ' , ENVIRONMENT LEARNING CENTER Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that Resolution 92-79 is in support of the Environmental Learning Center.

Egger Chairman EXCAVATION OF LAKES AT SANDRIDGE GOLF COURSE FOR FILL FOR INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD The Board reviewed memo from Public Works Director Jim Davis dated May 15, 1992: 30 TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E., 9 Public Works Director FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E., Capital Projects Manager SUBJECT: Fill for Indian River Boulevard Phase 4 DATE: May 15, 1992 FILE: irbfill.agn DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Excavation of the lakes at Sandridge Golf Course will generate approximately 30,000 - 40,000 cubic yards of surplus fill which is needed at Indian River Boulevard Phase 4. Approximately 16,674 CY have already been hauled by county trucks. It appears that this excess fill will not delay construction of the course beyond the original contract completion time; however, the Contractor's operations appear to be ahead of schedule and it may delay his procedures. The Contractor has requested that the County expedite removal of the excess fill so that he can proceed with construction of the 18th hole. By utilizing ten Road and Bridge Division trucks, approximately 2000 cubic yards of material can be moved to the Boulevard each day. However, due to other needs within the Road and Bridge Division, staff would like the flexibility to retain outside trucking companies to assist in hauling this fill to the Boulevard project, if the need arises. Proposals for hauling the excess fill from Sandridge to the Phase IV Indian River Boulevard Project have been solicited as follows: Sheltra & Son Construction Co. Inc. $1.20/yd Siboney Contracting Co. $1.32/yd Dennis Smith $1.40/yd The County is currently paying $4.62/cy for embankment material on Phase III of Indian River Boulevard. This price includes the cost of the material, hauling, compaction and shaping. Hauling the excess fill from Sandridge will save the County a minimum of $30,000 (30,000 cy x $1/cy) for material on Phase IV construction of the Boulevard plus the amount saved in reduced hauling costs resulting from the short haul distance between ',Sandridge and the Boulevard. This additional savings is approximately $36,000 (less costs paid to private haulers if applicable). ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The Alternatives are as follows: Alternative No. 1 Contract with the low bidder Sheltra & Son Construction Co. Inc. to haul a maximum of 15,000 CY for a not to exceed total of $18,000. These privately owned trucks will only be used on an as needed basis. Payment would be based on truck load measurements for actual quantity of material hauled. Alternative No. 2 Continue to haul using only Road and Bridge trucks. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends Alternative No. 1. Funding is from Account 309-214-541-066.51 - Indian River Boulevard Phase IV. 31 BOOK 6 Director Davis clarified that Road and Bridge Division trucks will continue to haul the fill unless they are needed for other projects and then Sheltra's trucks will be used on an as -needed basis. Commissioner Scurlock led discussion regarding quantities of fill that have been moved and estimated quantities to be moved. Director Davis reported that his estimate was over 16,000 and possibly 20,000 cubic yards have been moved. The final figures could not be determined until the final lake is excavated and all the material moved, but he estimated 30,000 to 40,000 cubic yards will be moved. Commissioner Scurlock cautioned that before all the fill is moved off the golf course site that staff check to see that our elevations are correct, and Director Davis confirmed he would check that out. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-1, Commissioner Bird being absent) approved the use of Sheltra & Son Construction Co. Inc., to haul fill from the Second 18 golf course site to Indian River Boulevard Phase 4 site, as outlined in Alternative 1 in staff's memo.
