A. Reguest for Modification to PRD Approval Extension for Coquina
PRD - Darrell McQueen/Rencorg
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/2/92:
TO: James E. Chandler
County Administrator
DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE:
Obert M. ating, MCP
Community Deve open Director
THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP
Planning Director
FROM: John W. McCoy ZEA
Senior Planner, Current Development
DATE: September 2, 1992
SUBJECT: Darrell McQueen/Rencorp's Request for Modification to PRD
Approval Extension for the Coquina PRD
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of September 15, 1992.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On July 12, 19901 the Planning and Zoning Commission granted
preliminary PRD plan approval to construct 64 units as phase I of
the Coquina Planned Residential Development (PRD). The subject
property is located on the west and east sides of SR A -1-A
immediately south of the Sea Oaks development and stretches from
the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian River. The preliminary PRD plan
approval was granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission subject
to approval of the special exception and conceptual plan by the
3
BOOK 8 7 PAGE 528
r-
SEP 15 1992
a 87 Fa�E 5 2
Board of County Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners
subsequently granted special exception and conceptual PRD plan
approval for the entire project (all phases) on August 21, 1990.
Therefore, the effective date of the preliminary PRD plan approval
is August 21, 1990,with an original expiration date of August 21,
1991.
Prior to the August 21, 1991 expiration date.0the applicant's agent
requested a 12 month extension of the PRD approval, which the Board
of County Commissioners granted making the new expiration date
August 21, 1992. Prior to the August 21, 1992 expiration date,the
applicant's agent indicated to staff that the applicant would not
be able to commence construction prior to August 21, 1992 due to
financial and permitting constraints and requested that the Board
modify its previous extension time from 12 months to 18 months.
Preliminary PRD approvals may be extended for up to 18 months from
the initial approval date, under the regulations in effect at the
time of the Coquina approval. The Board is now to consider
modifying the previously granted Coquina phase I preliminary PRD
plan extension.
ANALYSIS:
In planning staff's opinion, the Board of County Commissioners has
the ability to modify the previously granted 12 month extension
since an extension of up to 18 months was allowed by the PRD
provisions under which the Coquina project was reviewed and
approved. The developer is now close to obtaining a county land
development permit which will enable project construction to
commence. Thus, Board action to modify the previous extension will
allow the land development permit to be issued and the project to
go -forward.
Although the Coquina project was reviewed and approved under the
old LDRs, the requirements of the adopted comprehensive plan were
in effect at the time of project review and were applied. During
its evaluation of the previous request for a 12 month extension,
staff concluded that there were no changes in the LDRs which would
result in a substantial change to the project's design. This same
conclusion now applies to the request to modify the extension to
cover an 18 month period rather than a 12 month period.
RECOMMNDATION:
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant the applicant's request to modify the
period of time covered by the approval extension from 12 months to
18 months. The new expiration date of the phase I preliminary PRD
plan approval is February 21, 1993. The plan approval is subject
to all original approval conditions and applicable Chapter 910
concurrency requirements.
4
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Eggert being absent) granted the
applicant's request to modify the period of time
covered by the approval extension from 12 months to
18 months with new expiration date of the Phase I
preliminary PRD of February 21, 1993.
B. Acquisition of Optical Scanning/Retrieval System - Utility

The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/3/92:

TO:
JAMES E. CHANDLER
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM:
TERRANCE G. PI
DIRECTOR OF UTIL S ICES
STAFFED AND
HARRY -,E. ASHER.
PREPARED BY:
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: ACQUISITION OF OPTICAL SCANNING/RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES
BACKGROUND:
An optical scanning/ retrieval system to replace the current manual
records retention/ archival system of monthly billing registers,
impact fee financing agreements, developer's agreements, capacity
reservation forms, and easement forms was approved in the
Department's 1991-92 budget. The Department has researched its
needs based on growth potential, State of Florida Records Management
Archival Storage Requirements, space availability, and production
costs.
ANALYSIS:
Several companies have provided documentation and demonstrations to
staff. The Department must endorse a system that provides for
automated, virtually unattended, transfer of spooled files from the
AS400 and RISC 6000 to optical disk storage, plus have compatibility
to PC applications to scan contracts, lien agreements, developer's
agreements, and images for signature blocks. This measure basically
eliminates the need to print/store binders of statistical summary
information concerning utility billing data. The information stored
on optical disk will. provide ease of reporting/reviewing and
retrieval for auditing and public access. By eliminating the
storage needs, additional space currently taken by shelves and
filing cabinets can be utilized to expand customer relations work
areas. -
The Department needs require that documents can be scanned as images
to secure signatures in respect to lien agreements, bids, and
contractual services; also, that records be transferred
electronically to disk storage. The Department has reviewed a
variety of companies and has found only one company that can address
our needs with one software and provide hardware, configuration, and
technical support. Other vendors can address only the image
_--scanning or only the spool file aspect.

DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVIC AS
SUBJECT: GOLF COURSE PURCHASES
BACKGROUND:
Sandridge Golf Club is unique in some areas of purchasing in that
certain commodities used have to be considered sole source, sole
brand, single source and single brand. This is due to franchised

delivery, etc. -The following is a list of vendors that fall into at

SEP 151992
Box 87 Pace 535
ANALYSIS:
The authorized method of a blanket purchase order does not meet the
need or a purchase order issued "after -the -fact" is not in compliance
with the policies and procedures for purchasing in the County.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the above, staff requests Board approval to issue a
individual purchase order annually to the above vendors in an amount
equal to the estimated expenses. Authorization is also requested to
increase the size of these purchase orders, should it be required to
meet the demands of the new course.
Commissioner Scurlock noted that all of these purchases seem
to be sole source except for SYSCO Food Services of Central
Florida, Inc., and he asked if we had quotes from other vendors on
that particular item.
Golf Director Bob Komarinetz explained that in the past we
have been dealing with P & F Distributors here in Vero Beach.
Presently, we are in the process of getting quotes from SYSCO and
possibly others. During the first negotiations with SYSCO, the
price was a lot lower and staff is requesting a blanket purchase
order with them. We will be doing price comparisons through other
vendors also, but the big thing is getting a firm with a good
product and good service. The main thing about SYSCO is that they
can supply us in a lot of areas.
Commissioner Scurlock asked if this is similar to an annual
bid, and Director Komarinetz explained that Purchasing requires a
blanket purchase order on vendors of this type, which is food for
resale. He noted that this figure does not have to be $25,000 and
that we are not locked into purchasing directly from these people.
Commissioner Scurlock understood then that this is a request
for authorization of a purchase order for this particular vendor up
to that amount of money.
General Services Director Sonny Dean explained that service is
really the most important thing here because some of the items are
very perishable. In addition, this company has indicated that they
would be less expensive than any firms we have dealt with in the
past.
Commissioners Scurlock and Bird suggested that we have
blanket purchase orders from a variety of vendors to be used at the
discretion of the manager of the golf course,. and Director
Komarinetz advised that Purchasing has a problem with a bunch of
blanket purchase orders out there.
10
Director Dean explained that staff is asking for a blanket
purchase order for items in excess of $5,000. We are also issuing
a blanket purchase order to P & F Distributors in the amount of
$5,000. All this reflects is the amounts in excess of $5,000.
Administrator Chandler clarified that in this and on other
annual contract items on today's Agenda, the established unit
prices do not exceed the budgeted amount.
Commissioner Scurlock suggested having an approved vendor
list, and Commissioner Bird suggested that we have P & F
Distributors and SYSCO Food Services under this blanket purchase
order because he felt that would keep them more competitive.
Director Dean explained that is what we are trying to do;
however, we anticipated that this one would be more than $5,000.
The Purchasing Manual states that if a blanket purchase order
should reach the $5,000 mark during the year, the department head
can ask for the issuance of another purchase order for another
$5,000 and that is brought back for approval by Purchasing and the
County Administrator.
Administrator Chandler emphasized that in no event do those
purchases exceed the amounts budgeted for that category for that
particular service.
Commissioner Bird understood then that Director Komarinetz has
the flexibility to deal with any of the approved firms to get the
best price and service.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Eggert being absent) approved staff's
recommendation as set out in the above memo.

BACKGROUND:
The new golf course will require _-signage for the eighteen tees at an
F _ estimated cost of $7,000.00. It has been the policy of Bob

Komarinetz, Director of Golf, to purchase the necessary tee signs and
sell advertisement to be attached to the signs. Cost to the
advertiser is $400.00 at purchase and $125.00 dollars each year
thereafter. This policy enables Sandridge to recover all purchase
expense plus additional annual revenue.
ANALYSIS:
The Golf Director is requesting to purchase the signs from a local
vendor. In order to be sure the signs will be exactly what is
desired and meet the requirements of the advertisers, the Golf
Director has. requested permission to obtain quotations from local -
vendors and purchase from the best offerer.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since the estimated purchase is in excess of the minimum bid amount,
staff requests authorization to take quotations for the subject
signage and purchase the signs from the vendor offering best quality
and price.

SUBJECT' Americans With Disabilities
Act (ADA) Transition Plan
FROM: Randy Dowling REFERENCES:
Asst. to County Administrator
The county is required by 28 CFR, Part 35, Section 35.150 to prepare a
transition plan to identify all structural changes needed to existing county -owned
facilities to achieve accessibility for the disabled. All of the structural changes
identified in the plan must be completed by January 26, 1995.
County staff evaluated all of the county -owned facilities for accessibility using
the recently published Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines
and the Florida Accessibility Requirements Manual whichever was more stringent.
Staff concentrated on the areas within the travel route from the parking lot to
and through the facility taking a pro -active position on -low cost and readily
achievable structural changes.
After the plan was prepared, the Administrator's Office, as required by the
federal law, conducted public workshops to receive and take into consideration
comments from disabled Individuals and organizations and other interested
citizens. A brief synopsis -of the two workshops Is included in the plan.
County staff recommends that the Board approve this transition plan and
authorize staff to make additions, deletions, and clarifications to the plan as the
need arises.
20
County Administrator Jim Chandler advised that Randy Dowling
has been designated as the County's coordinator in this matter and
has put the plan together with the assistance of staff. Mr. Neal
Duval, who is representing the county's disabled community, has
been of great assistance to us in identifying areas that need to be
addressed. He has indicated that he would continue to volunteer
his services as we proceed with the implementation. This is one of
the first aspects of the ADC requirements and it addresses just the
physical aspects of the County's buildings.
Commissioner Bird asked if the ADA gives any latitude with
regard to public facilities actually out on the golf course, such
as rest rooms, because in all his years playing golf he has seen
only one person playing golf from a wheelchair.
Administrator Chandler advised that there is not much latitude
at all in this particular law. Any new structure built after
January 1, 1992 has to be in compliance with all of the ADA
requirements, and today we are addressing the existing structures.
However, by January 1, 1993, we will be required to address
programs and accessibility to programs.
Attorney Vitunac advised that in regard to the existing rest
rooms on the course, we have to do reasonable accommodation. In
this case, you would say it is not reasonable to do this since
never in the history of this county has there been a golfer in a
wheelchair.
Administrator Chandler continued that this is just a
transitional plan for the existing structures. The first year cost
to bring it into compliance is estimated at $32,000. We had a
conservative budget of $25,000 until we got into it and identified
the actual things that need to be done. Neal Duval has toured
three of our buildings and pointed out some of the things in this
building, the Main Library, and the Health Building that need
attention that we had not anticipated.
Vice Chairman Bowman asked if anyone wished to be heard in
this public discussion item.
May Arnold, speaking from her seat in the audience, cautioned
that federal funds may be jeopardized if we are not in compliance
within the time frame specified.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Eggert being absent) approved the
transition plan for the County's existing buildings
and authorized staff to make additions, deletions,
and clarifications to the plan as the need arises.

FROM: Eric Blad ,07 X a SI
Staff Planner, Current Development
DATE: September 4, 1992
SUBJECT: Living Lord Lutheran's Request for Major Site Plan and
Special Exception Approval for a Place of Worship
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of September 15, 1992.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Mr. James W. Young, P.E. has submitted an application for a major
site plan and special exception approval on behalf of Living Lord
Lutheran Church to construct a place of worship at 2725 58th
Avenue. The proposed place of worship provides seating for 107
people, a fellowship hall, and related offices. The proposed use
is located within a RS -3 zoning district, which requires special
exception use for a place of worship. The applicant has verified
that no child care or school is proposed in relation to the church.
Any future proposals for such uses would require special exception
use approval.
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously granted approval for
the site plan on August 27, 1992, subject to the Board of County
Commissioners granting special exception approval and subject to
certain conditions recommended by staff. The Planning and Zoning
Commission also unanimously recommended that the Board of County
Commissioners grant special exception use approval for a place of
worship. The Board of County Commissioners must now take final
action on the special exception request for a place of worship.
If the Board grants special exception approval, the site plan
conditional approval will become effective.
Special exception uses are those types of uses that would not
generally be appropriate throughout a particular zoning district.
However, when special exception uses are carefully controlled as to
number, area, location, and/or relationship to the vicinity, such
uses would not adversely impact the public health, safety, comfort,
good order, appearance, convenience, morals and general welfare and
as such would be compatible with permitted uses within the
particular zoning district. In granting any special exception, the
Board may prescribe appropriate special conditions and safeguards
to ensure that the use is compatible with surrounding uses in the
district.
ANALYSIS:
1. Size of Development: 2.31 acres or 100,624 sq.ft.
23
SEP J 5 1992 57pat,
Box 87 f,,;r 549
2. Zoning Classification: RS -3 Single Family Residential (up to
3 units per acre)
3. Land Use Designation: L-21 Low Density 2 (up to 6 units per
acre)
4. Building Area: 6,302 sq.ft.
5. Total New Impervious Surface: 41,257 sq.ft.
6. Open Space: Required: 40%
Provided: 59%
7. Traffic Circulation: The place of worship will be accessed
from 58th Avenue by a paved 24' wide two-way driveway. The
traffic circulation plan has been approved by the County
Traffic Engineer.
8. Off -Street Parking: Required: 63 spaces
Provided: 78 spaces
Pursuant to Land Development Regulations Section 954.08(4),
parking areas for places of worship (and other uses having
infrequent parking characteristics) may be provided as
unpaved, stabilized areas upon approval by the Planning and
Zoning Commission. The site plan proposes 6 paved parking
spaces and 72 unpaved spaces served by paved, two-way driving
aisles. Staff has no objection to the proposed unpaved,
stabilized spaces. By approving this site plan application,
the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the use of the
referenced unpaved parking spaces.
9. Stormwater Management: The Stormwater Management Plan has
been approved by the Public Works Department, and a type "A"
stormwater permit will be issued.
10. Landscape Plan: The landscape plan is in conformance with
Chapter 926 of the Land Development Regulations, and proposes
type "C" buffers on the northern, southern and western
boundaries of the project site. These buffers conform to the
applicable specific land use criteria buffer requirements (see
paragraph 14).
11. Utilities: The project will utilize county water. Wastewater
treatment shall be provided via an on-site sewage disposal
system as approved by the Environmental Health Department.
Both the Utilities and Environmental Health Departments have
approved the proposed site plan.
12. Dedication and Improvements: The Comprehensive Bikeway and
Sidewalk Plan requires that a 5' public sidewalk shall be
provided along the project's 58th Avenue frontage. The
applicant has indicated the monies for improvements will be
placed in escrow with the county. This escrowing must be
accomplished prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy (C.O.) for the project. -
The County's Thoroughfare Plan classifies 58th Avenue as a
major arterial roadway requiring 130' of right-of-way.
Presently there is only 50' of right-of-way for 58th Avenue
which results in an 80' right-of-way width deficit. Half of
the deficit (40' ) is to be acquired from each side of 58th
Avenue. The applicant will be required to dedicate 40' of
property to bring 58th Avenue up to current standards. Of
that 40' right-of-way dedication, the applicant will be
24
- M
compensated for 35' by the county. The first 5' shall be
dedicated to the county without compensation, since the first
5' represents the applicant's fair share contribution towards
establishing the minimum local road right-of-way width (601)
along the project's 58th Avenue frontage. The site plan fully
accommodates the 40' right-of-way acquisition.
13. Concurrency: The initial concurrency certificate application
submitted for this project has been reviewed. It is
anticipated that the initial concurrency certificate will be
issued prior to this application being considered for approval
by the Board of County Commissioners. -
14. The application must satisfy the following specific land use
criteria which apply to a place of worship proposed to be
constructed in the RS -3 district:
a. No building or structure shall be located closer than
thirty (30) feet to any property line abutting a
residential use or residentially designated property;
b. Access shall be from 58th Avenue unless otherwise
approved by the public works department;
c. Any accessory residential use, day care facility or
school upon the premises shall provide such additional
lot area as required for such use by this section and
shall further be subject to all conditions set forth by
the reviewing procedures - and standards for that
particular use. Accessory residential uses may include
covenants, monasteries, rectories or parsonages as
required by these regulations;
d. Type "C" screening shall be provided along all property
boundaries where the facility is located adjacent to a
single-family residentially designated property. Type
"D" screening shall be provided along all property
boundaries when the facility is located adjacent to a
multiple -family residentially designated property.
All of the above specific land use criteria have been
satisfied by this site plan application.
15. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North: Single Family Residence/RS-3
South: Single Family Residence/RS-3
East: 58th Avenue, Single Family Residence/R-lA
(City of Vero Beach jurisdiction)
West: Single Family Residence/RS-3
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis preformed, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant special exception use approval for the
place of worship, as requested.
Commissioner Scurlock inquired how this site plan handles the
traffic on 58th Avenue and the close proximity to residential.
Planning Director Stan Boling explained that the only access
to the site is off of 58th Avenue. He noted that the facility is
not that close to residential and would not have that much impact.

It is only a 2 -acre site and we are looking at a very small
facility. The access will be a paved 24 ft. wide two-way driveway,
and at this point, there are not enough trips to warrant a traffic
light or a left -turn lane.
Vice Chairman Bowman felt that we would be inviting a traffic
problem similar to the one up at St. Sebastian because 58th Avenue
is a very heavily traveled road.
Commissioner Scurlock asked if there is any ability as the
church grows to handle any future traffic problems or other things
related to the site plan.
Representing the church, engineer James Young explained that
the site is only two acres and the sanctuary area only has 186
seats. Basically, they have used up the entire site for the
church, and if there is any expansion, they would have to purchase
another piece of property and come in for another site approval.
We are looking at a very small facility.
Commissioner Bird understood then that if they expanded north
or south of this site, we have the ability to initiate a
requirement for a left-hand turn lane or other modifications that
need to be put in.
Community Development Director Robert Keating confirmed that
if they expand to either north or south of this site, there could
be another access point and we could look at any modifications that
were necessary. Right now, based on the size of the site and the
trip characteristics, the design that they show is adequate.
Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that the church is
dedicating and the County is compensating them for additional
right-of-way. The 5 -lane section of highway that exists in front
of Ryanwood Shopping Center is programmed under our Thoroughfare
Plan to extend along the frontage of the property. That would
accommodate a left -turn lane for left -turn movements into the
property along with a median cut at this one particular driveway
that is shown. We don't feel this particular church will pose the
problems that we encountered with St. Sebastian Church or some of
the larger churches in the county. Most of the activities will be
at non -peak hours.
Vice Chairman Bowman understood that right now we only have
50 -ft. of the 130 -ft. . right -of -way required and will be getting
another 40 feet from the church.
Vice Chairman Bowman opened the Public Hearing and asked if
anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she
closed the Public Hearing.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES - STATUS REPORT
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/9/92:
TO: James Chandler
County Administrator
FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICPQµK
Community Development Director
DATE: September 9, 1992
SUBJECT: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES
S9Wrils Yqh �VOR7"
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of September 15, 1992.
30
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
Because of the recent slowdown in growth and development activity,
county staff have attempted to identify actions and initiatives
which could promote economic development. This has involved a
cooperative effort of the administrator's office, attorney's
office, the budget office, the community development department,
the public works department, and the utilities department.
Working separately and meeting jointly, this group has identified
a number of activities which could enhance growth and economic
development in the county. Ranging from land development
regulation (LDR) amendments to changes in development review
procedures, these activities will provide an environment more
conducive to economic development. While some of these changes
require action by the Board of County Commissioners, most can be
undertaken at the staff level. In fact, some have already been
implemented. -
As a result of its analysis, staff proposes four broad categories
of action. These are: LDR amendments, development review
procedural changes, capital improvement project initiatives, and
economic/fiscal incentives. Specifically, the proposed actions are
as follows:
LDR Amendments
- change concurrency requirements to allow 90 day grace
period after site plan approval for payment of impact
fees (already included in current LDR amendment package)
- expand conceptual plan approval options (already included
in current LDR amendment package)
- amend LDR's to allow payment of impact fees at time of
building permit (proposed for inclusion in current LDR
amendment package)
- modify thresholds for administrative approvals, minor
site plans and major site plans (under consideration for
next round of LDR amendments)-
- change certain uses from special exceptions to
administrative permit uses (under consideration for next
round of LDR amendments)
- revise non -conformity requirements (under consideration
for next round of LDR amendments)
Development Review Procedural Changes
- allow applicant response at technical review committee
(TRC) meetings (already implemented)
reduce department review time for development
applications (being implemented)
- initiate a permit/project review process evaluation
procedure to be completed by applicants (under
consideration)
- prepare helpful, easy -to -understand application packets
(in progress)
31

r SEP X519'92
BOOK 87 N V 5 7
- provide all departments with weekly applications -in -
progress status report (being implemented)
- encourage department heads to attend pre -app meetings
for important projects (being implemented)
• Capital Improvement Project Initiatives
- create five million dollar discretionary fund for utility
line extensions or associated facilities (under review)
- expand utility services to I-95/74th Avenue node,
I-95/SR60 node, and I-95/CR512 node (being designed)
- provide cost sharing for applicants oversizing utility
lines (being implemented)
- undertake road improvements near nodes (under
consideration)
- initiate advance right-of-way acquisition (being
proposed)
- set up infrastructure fund to pay for capital
improvements necessary to accommodate development (under
review)
• Economic/Fiscal Incentives
- implement property tax abatement strategy (`under review
- will need referendum)
- provide funding for Council of 100 recruitment activities
(being proposed for FY93-94)
- undertake cooperative venture with the private sector to
develop an industrial park (under review)
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS:
As proposed, these economic initiatives consist of a set of actions
which together may better position the county to achieve its
economic development objectives. Besides providing monetary
incentives for business attraction, these actions should promote
economic development by providing the physical infrastructure
needed for growth, reducing up -front, out-of-pocket development
costs, and streamlining the development review process.
Some of the proposed initiatives, particularly the LDR amendment
proposals, will be considered by the board separately. At that
time, a more detailed analysis of each will be provided.
Similarly, the board will also individually consider each proposed
capital project. On the other hand, development review procedural
changes can be implemented by staff.
Unlike the other initiatives, the proposed economic/fiscal
incentives are costly and difficult to implement. For that reason,
each needs to be considered in more detail before being
implemented.
Property tax abatement, for example, has not proven to be a
successful economic development strategy. It may, however, work in
Indian River County. To implement property tax abatement, there
will need to be a set of standards to limit the types of
businesses that qualify for abatement, to set the amount and
32
duration of the tax abatement, and to identify the taxes to be
abated. Most importantly, this incentive must be approved by
referendum in order to be implemented.
For those reasons, staff proposes to analyze the potential
economic/fiscal incentives in more detail. Only after all the
advantages and disadvantages have been identified and the proposals
better refined can these incentives be incorporated into the
county's economic development strategy. It is staff's position
that such an analysis can be completed within six months.
Overall, the proposed economic development initiatives complement,
and in some cases implement, the policies of the county's proposed
overall economic development plan. Therefore, staff feels that the
proposed initiatives should be undertaken.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners review the
proposed economic development initiatives and direct staff to
implement them.
Administrator Chandler advised that this is just an
informational report on some of the things we are looking at and
continuing to pursue. There is no action required today. Staff
will be bringing in a number of these matters on an individual
basis as we proceed.
Vice Chairman Bowman reminded everyone of the first LDR
meeting on Thursday, September 17, 1992, at 5:01 o'clock P.M. in
these Chambers.
PROPOSED SALARY ADJUSTMENTS FY 92-93
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/8/92:
TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: September 8, 1992 FILE:
SUBJECT: Proposed Salary Adjustments
FY 1992-93
f
FROM:tKs E'Ch ndier REFERENCES:
nty Administrator
As requested at the July. budget meeting, additional employee salary
alternatives have been developed for consideration. The alternatives are within
the funds contained in the proposed budget and would be applicable to non
contract employees. Firefighter adjustments are prescribed by contract and EMS
-negotiations are currently in progress.
33
L_ SEP 15 1992
SEP J5 Ml" Boa 87
Due to financial constraints, a cost of living adjustment was not included In
the proposed budget. For the 12 month period ending in July, the inflation rate
per the consumer price index was 3.2%.
Funding to continue the step program adopted in 1990 is contained in the
proposed budget.- An employee is eligible annually for a 5% adjustment on their
anniversary date until they reach the top of their prescribed range. Longevity
adjustments, as provided in the fire contract, are not included. Of the 583 non
contract positions, 103 employees are at the top of their range and therefore,
not eligible for an increase. A significant number are non supervisory
personnel. An all fund total of $334,952 has been provided for the step
program.
An alternative would be to defer the step program for a year and implement
an across-the-board adjustment. The funds proposed for the step program are
equivalent to 2% if applied to all non -contract employees. Such an adjustment
could be implemented October 1.
Another alternative would be to continue the step program at a reduced
rate next fiscal year and apply the differential to all employees. Within the
funds provided, the step rate could be reduced from a 5% to 2% adjustment.
The resulting differential would amount to a 2% across the board adjustment, if
implemented effective January 1.
Consideration of a longevity plan similar to Fire was requested at the July
meeting. Next fiscal year, 107 non . contract individuals will have been employed
by the County over 10 years and would be eligible for longevity if instituted.
Considering the funding, if the step rate were reduced from 5% to 3% next year,
a 3%, 10 year longevity rate could be implemented. There are 18 employees at
the top of their range with less than 10 years service, who under this
alternative would not be eligible for any increase since it does not contain an
across the board adjustment.
In considering the various factors relating to the preceding alternatives, it
Is my recommendation to implement for next fiscal year the 2% reduced step plan
and 2% across the board adjustment effective January 1. Although this plan will
not be satisfactory to everyone, I believe it will maintain the basic integrity of
the step plan while providing some adjustment to all employees. Conditions
permitting, in FY 93/94 1 would- anticipate restoration of the step plan and
consideration of longevity.
Administrator Chandler noted that this is a follow-up to the
discussions at the July budget hearings when the Commission
requested that we look at alternatives to the across the board
salary increases and bring them back for consideration. For next
fiscal year, he recommended that the Board implement the 2% reduced
step plan and 2% across the board adjustment effective January 1,
1993. He stressed that $344,952 is budgeted and any alternative
chosen by the Board today would not exceed that amount.
Commissioner Bird asked if we would be going back on anything
that had been promised, and Administrator Chandler advised that if
we were to go with the 20 and 20, it would maintain some of the
integrity of the step program that was implemented.in 1990. The
only labor agreement we have at the present time is with the fire
fighters who have a step program, longevity, etc.
34

Commissioner Bird stated that he has made arrangements with
the OMB Director to return his salary increase which is determined
by the State because he didn't want to go back on his word of what
he had said at the budget workshops about an across the board
increase.
Commissioner Scurlock had a problem with the whole thing. He
has constantly said that -we need to look at the employees at the
low end of the payroll because a 2% raise to someone making $13,000
a year in Buildings & Grounds or Road & Bridge does not amount to
very much compared to a 2% raise for those employees making
$30,000-$50,000. The proposed plan gives a 2% increase across the
board, including the division heads who are making approximately
$50,000-$60,000 a year. He felt we should set a cap where anyone
making $50,000 or over would not get an increase so that the pool
of money budgeted for increases is split between those making under
that amount. He felt the employees and managers at the high salary
range are getting fat because it is no longer true that you work
for government for less money than paid by the private sector. In
addition, many of the higher level employees receive a $275 monthly
car allowance and some do not even use their vehicle. It is a
fringe benefit; it has nothing to do with the use of that vehicle.
He felt the $344,952 pool of funds should be distributed to those
people making less than $50,000 with special attention given to
those people at the lowest level. He emphasized that some of our
County employees could qualify for welfare programs but do not
because they choose to work. They are good employees, but they are
barely making enough to pay for the basic needs of food and
housing. Needless to say, they have no disposable income.
Administrator Chandler advised that in looking at the step
plan and the 103 employees who are at the top of their range, we
found that a great percentage of those employees were field
personnel, mostly in Road & Bridge, and that was taken into
consideration.
Commissioner Scurlock stated that his concept is basically
adjusting the minimum wage for the lower levels.
Administrator Chandler emphasized that his idea has been
strictly from a standpoint of an equitable adjustment - equitable
in terms of the times and the ability to do so.
Commissioner Bird asked if we have the ability in-house to
look at the income of our lower level employees, and if justified,
make some adjustments.
Administrator Chandler advised that we can do that and bring
it back to the Commission. However, if we are to make an
adjustment at the low end of the salary ranges, we need to do so
35
SEP
BOOK
with our eyes wide open because it will undoubtedly result in a
compression of those positions. If the Commission wishes us to
pursue that rather than the step program in this coming year, he
would suggest that we pursue some type of a bonus operation in
order to maintain some degree of integrity of the program that was
adopted in 1988.
Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that things have changed
since the 1980s. There has been a big elimination of middle
management jobs throughout the country and the private sector
already has adjusted. You don't enter the job market easily these
days, and when you do, it is not for $30,000 or $40,000 positions
as it was in the 1980s. The salaries in the private sector are not
what they were in the 1980s, and government is considered a good
place to work in the 1990s.
Commissioner Bird didn't disagree with Commissioner Scurlock's
philosophy, but wondered how we could make an adjustment in the
lower pay ranges before we adopt the final budget at the public
hearing today at 5:01 P.M.
Administrator Chandler advised that there is no problem in
adopting the budget this evening because the $344,952 reserved for
salary increases will stay the same. The adjustment to the lower
pay level positions could be implemented after October 1, 1992.
Vice Chairman Bowman asked if any employees at the top of
their range are working at minimum wage, and Administrator Chandler
advised that we have a considerable number of field employees, most
notably in Road & Bridge, who have been with the County for awhile
who are at the top of their range. The County is in compliance
with the minimum wage requirements.
Commissioner Scurlock asked how many of the division heads
were topped out in their range, and Administrator Chandler advised
that there were three -- Public Works Director Jim Davis, OMB
Director Joe Baird and Utilities Director Terry Pinto. There are
a couple of others who are approaching the top of their range. In
addition to those division heads, the following department heads
are topped off: Albert VanAuken, Ester Rymer, Beth Jordan, Ron
Brooks.
Commissioner Scurlock reiterated that his concern is with the
lower pay levels. When you are talking -about all those employees
making $50,000 a year plus at least $300 a month in family coverage
insurance and $275 a month car allowance, you have to consider that
they are making far greater than that. The County's benefit
package is substantial.
Vice Chairman Bowman agreed that we really need. to revisit the
pay scale for the lower level employees, and Commissioner Scurlock
repeated that his idea is to give no increases to those employees
36
making over $50,000 and to divide the $344,952 pool of money among
the balance of the employees through the 2% and 2% plan -ecommended
by Administrator Chandler.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED
by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board authorize
that the budget amount of $344,952 be distributed in
increases to those -employees making under $50,000.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird expressed his concern
about keeping his word because he did say that he would not be in
favor of a step increase. However, now that he understands that
the $344,952 budgeted amount would be the same for any alternative,
he could support Administrator Chandler's recommendation.
Commissioner Tippin preferred to abstain from voting on this
matter since today is his first meeting, but after Attorney Vitunac
advised that he is required to vote, he stated he would have to
depend on the Administrator's recommendation.
Purchasing Director Jack Price pointed out that when the pay
progression plan was put in place in 1990 it was to provide some
assurances for our non -contract employees. The pay progression
plan is as close as those people get to the protection of a union
contract and it is very important. For example, we have a contract
with the fire fighters that provides a 5% general increase* in
October, a 5% step increase and the addition of a 5% longevity
increase, and none of those commitments are being tampered with.
Since we are considering going from 5% to 2% on the step increases,
he felt we are taking some serious risks if we are going to
consider holding off on the step program altogether. Of the 103
people who are topped out, his quick count shows that 30 are in
Road & Bridge and non -management jobs. Seventy are somewhere else.
Administrator Chandler wished to clarify that with the fire
fighters' contract, no individual will get a 15% increase. There
is a 5% increase across the board. There is a step plan and there
is a longevity plan. If an employee is qualified, he will either
get the step plan increase or the longevity increase depending on
where they are at.
Commissioner Scurlock emphasized that he wasn't talking about °
eliminating steps. He just would like to see the Board set a cap
at $50,000 and apply the pool of funds to the remaining employees
based on the Administrator's recommendation. He advised that
people in the community have commented to him that they feel top
level government salaries have gotten out of range.
Vice Chairman Bowman understood that an employee making
$15, 000 and not at the top of his range would receive a 2% step
37

BOOK 87 PAGE 562

BOOK

increase and then in January get a 2% cost of living increase,
which would amount to $600.
Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that in contrast an employee
making $65,000 and not at the top of his range would receive $2600
through the 2%-2% increase, and Vice Chairman Bowman agreed that
wasn't right.
Commissioner Bird noted that while there are low pay scales
even in the private sector, government does provide an excellent
benefit package.
Vice Chairman Bowman didn't know how anybody can live on
$15,000 a year, and Commissioner Scurlock understood that we have
people working for the County making $12,000.
Commissioner Tippin commented that there are low paying levels
in all fields and, unfortunately, we in government cannot solve all
the world's problems.
Commissioner Bird felt that Administrator Chandler has
anguished over this plan long and hard and he planned to support
his recommendation.
THE VICE CHAIRMAN requested that Commissioner
Scurlock repeat his Motion on the floor.
Commissioner Scurlock advised that the intent of his
Motion is to provide the 2% and 2% increases, but
freeze the salaries of those employees making over
$50,000.
THE VICE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The
Motion failed on a vote of 2-2, Commissioners Bird
and Tippin dissenting.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board by a 3-1 vote
(Commissioner Scurlock dissenting) approved the
recommendation of the County Administrator as set
out in the above memo.

SUBJECT: Donation of Right -of -Way Agreement Addendum
Indian River Boulevard Phase IV
DATE: September 8, 1992 FILE: irbrwext.agn
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
On November 1, 1988, the County entered into an Agreement with
Equal Split, Inc. donating to the County right-of-way for the
extension of Indian River Boulevard provided the County would
make certain access improvements and complete the Boulevard by a
certain time period.
The attached agreement addendum is to extend the original Nov. 1,
1988 agreement by two years so that Indian River Boulevard Phase
IV can proceed.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The following alternatives are presented.
Alternative No. 1
Authorize the Chairman to execute Addendum No. 1 to the
Agreement.
Alternative No. 2
Deny the Authorization thereby forfeiting the extension of
time.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1. No funding to be expended.
Public Works Director Jim Davis advised that staff has
contacted the Lawton family who also are -donating right-of-way and
they would like to see some language in Item 6 of Addendum No. 1-A
regarding the County's obligation if Phase IV of the Boulevard is
not completed by 1994. Director Davis didn't see a problem in
completing Phase IV by November 24, 1994 and suggested that the
same language be inserted in Item #6 in the Agreement with Equal
Split, Inc. (Buetell). The suggested language is as follows:
"County agrees that if any of the agreements, warrants, and
40
provisions promised by the County to Equal Split and others in the
original agreement for donation of right-of-way and this amendment
are not met by November 24, 1994, a daily penalty (an amount
equivalent to the real estate taxes accruing daily on each
remainder parcel), shall be collectible from the County and payable
to the owners of the remainder parcels on the 1st of the month
following the month in which the taxes accrued. This practice
shall continue until all- agreements specified in the original
agreement and addendum are met.'
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Eggert being absent) approved Addendum No.
1 to the Agreement with Equal Split, Inc. and
authorized the change in language in Item 6
regarding the completion of Phase IV of the
Boulevard by November 24, 1994.
Commissioner Bird asked if any -improvements are planned for
37th Street now that Phase III of the Boulevards ends there, and
Director Davis advised that we will be widening 37th Street to 3 -
lanes in a fairly short time.

4. BACKGROUND:
The most recent meeting of ELN@ III spent one day of discussion on Regional Plant
Councils. There was no consensus,.. reached, but a substantial number of Ems memb
felt that Regional Planning Councils had failed to meet the need for a regio
planning entity.
They divided between those �felt that regions should be abolished and replaced
by regionally -located stafteo-oncitaff-and those that felt that 'properly reconstitute
Regional Planning Councils could fill a regional need.
The emphasis of the second group was on the belief that local elected officials we
the reason for the failure of Regional Planning Councils. The feeling was express
that local officials were unable to transcend provincial concerns and take a 'region,
view.' It was suggested that Regional Planning Councils might function well if:
A. .No local elected off icials.vase allowed on the Council, or:
B. The 2/3's local elected officials, 1/3 gubernatorial appointees were changed to
1/3 local elected officials and 2/3 gubernatorial appointees, or:
C. The governor appointed all members of Regional Planning Councils, including
choosing which local elected officials would serve.
This was. not the expressed opinion of the majority, but it is important to note that
there was no 7ieioundinq defense of • local elected officials# except, oddly enough, bi
the'Department of Community Affairs.
'If .County officials' beTiev that .iti is~impostaat to batro local elected officials (city
andCountyron Regional Planning Councils, they, need to be heard from.
