Vice Chairman O'Bryan called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m., Chairman
Flescher entered at 1:32 p.m.
Community Development Director Stan Boling provided background
information on the April 12, 2017 Development Review and Permitting Process
Workshop through the use of a PowerPoint Presentation. He summarized the
landscape regulation changes; problems with the use of temporary suspensions
of compliance provisions and the proposed changes; and compared the
preliminary development review fee schedules for Community Development
and Public Works with the fees charged in nearby counties. He also spoke of the
potential impacts to the Public Works Department, Utilities, and the County
Attorney's office.
Public Works Director Rich Szpyrka continued with the PowerPoint
Presentation to provide an analysis of the Building Permit Fees and compared
the last three years of revenue for Public and Private Single Family Residential
Permits. He stated that when comparing the annual cost for staff and the
revenue collected for building permit reviews and inspections, that there has
been a $322,784 shortfall in revenues over the last three years. He
recommended that in order to address the revenue shortfall, the current Public
Works fees for Single Family Residential (SFR) Right -of -Way and Drainage
Review Permits should be increased from $75.00 for public roads, and $45.00
for private roads to a fee of $180.00 for both public and private roads. He noted
that the proposed fee increase does not take into account the need for additional
staff to reduce the current review times or backlog for Single Family
Residential Permit reviews, but that the additional fee collection would help
fund the needed staffing increases.
Indian River County Florida Page 14
Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final June 20, 2017
He discussed the current and proposed fee schedules for stormwater permits,
inspection and re -inspection fees. Director Szpyrka made mention that the
building permit review fees for Public Works have not been adjusted since
2004, and to maintain the current level of service, a taxpayer subsidy would be
required to fund the difference between staff costs and revenue collected.
Director Szpyrka also provided a similar analysis of the Development Permit
Fees, and a comparison of the last three years of revenues collected for Public
Works Land Development and Right -of -Way Permit Reviews. He stated that
permit review fees do not cover staff costs, which include inspections for
right-of-ways, site plans and subdivisions, permit violations, drainage issues,
and correspondence with project engineers. He explained that the total revenue
shortfall for land development review and inspection process was $1,275,754
over the last three years, and recommended revisions to the current fee
schedule. He proposed that the inspection fees for the portion of construction
costs up to $500,000 would be 2% of construction costs; the costs between
$500,001 and $1,000,000 would be 1.5% of construction costs; costs above
$1,000,000 would be I% of the construction costs; and noted that the inspection
fees would be cumulative in order to cover the construction costs for the entire
proj ect.
Commissioner Solari expressed that he understood the Workshop differently
than what was being addressed today, and was not prepared to move forward
with the process. He explained that he had not had the time to review the
subject thoroughly, and felt that affordable housing in the County is currently a
major issue, and did not wish to add any more costs to citizens who already
could not afford a decent place to live.
Chairman Flescher acknowledged the hard work and efforts made by staff, but
mentioned that he was under the understanding that the intent of the Workshop
was to have discussions on the streamlining and efficiency of the permitting
process. He explained that there was a lot of information relayed at the
Workshop, and that discussions may have gotten misconstrued.
County Administrator Brown apologized for any misunderstanding and
explained that it was his understanding that staff had been directed to review
landscaping requirements, the use of temporary suspension for Certificate of
Completion Ordinance, and to review the Development review fees for
Community Development and Public Works. He provided assurances that staff
would consider any streamlining measures or other issues and take any
direction that was provided from the Board.

Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final June 20, 2017
Chuck Mechling, 5070 North Highway AIA, proposed to provide the ability for
those in the industry to interact with staff to create a more streamlined process
in an effort to reduce the need for fees and increase efficiency. He made
mention of a past Professional Services Advisory Committee (PSAC) that was
established to allow input before an item came to the Board. He stated that he
was in support of phasing -in fee increases if necessary, but was hopeful for a
solution to eliminate the need for the fee increase.
Attorney Paul Amos, Rossway, Swan, Tierney, Barry Lacey & Oliver,
representing Franzia Properties, provided his opinion about the proposed fee
structure and the potential harmful impacts to the smaller businesses who are
considering development in the area. He asked the Board to consider applying
the permit fee based on the size or number of units in the development, as
opposed to the overall dollar value of the development.
Honey Minuse, Indian River Neighborhood Association, stated that what staff
had proposed seemed reasonable, but expressed her concerns about how the
item on landscape regulations was presented on the Agenda. Attorney Reingold
clarified that the item she was referring to was item l O.C.3., which was actually
a Public Hearing scheduled specifically dealing with landscaping in remote
agricultural areas, and was not an issue pertaining to the subject at hand.
Debb Robinson, Laurel Builders, provided information about the construction
business and explained that the construction industry is hit the hardest with
fees, and the last to recover in the down economy. She described her
involvement with the PSAC, and requested that the Board consider forming a
new committee with the hope of providing the ability to work with staff to
streamline the process. She also spoke in opposition of the proposed increase of
fees.
Steve Melchiori commented on the inspection fees for land development
permits, and expressed his frustration with paying for professional engineers to
do inspections for a project, only to have to pay the County to re -inspect the
project. He felt as though he should be able to depend on the engineer's
professional license to ensure the project has been done correctly, and not have
to pay the County to provide the same service.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan made inquiries as to how often plans are submitted
from a certified engineer/architect that are completely correct with all the
Florida Building Codes. Rich Szpyrka responded that he had yet to receive a set
of plans from a professional engineer that were completely correct and followed
code.
Chuck Mechling made additional comments on the professional engineers,
inspections, and bonding issues.

Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final June 20, 2017
Richard Bialosky, 685 Reef Road, felt that there was a lack of ability to come to
a compromise at this meeting. He requested to have further dialogue to
streamline the process and expressed the desire to keep the fees low.
Carter Taylor, Indian River Neighborhood Association, 2235 Silver Sands
Court, expressed concerns on the meaning of streamlining, and that it should
not mean the relaxation of basic quality standards. He felt that the County
should be known for the quality of the products produced and the quality of the
business processes that are available to the developers. He was not supportive
of the revival of the Professional Services Advisory Committee (PSAC), as he
felt that the committee was essentially a professional community supplementing
staff in areas where staff does not have sufficient capacity, and felt that staff
should have the capability to handle the business that is brought to them. He
suggested that there were opportunities for improvement, and recommended
adding the use of modern methods of communication, document imaging, and
automated business processes.
Peter Robinson provided details on the former PSAC, and gave examples of
issues between contractors, developers, and the rules of the County Public
Works Department. He expressed concerns about the proposed rate increases
and the effect they would have on the County.
Toby Hill, 685 Lake Drive, Investor/Developer of Harmony Reserve, expressed
the desire to support staffs efforts and requested to meet several more times to
discuss the issues.
A motion was made by Commissioner Solari to: (1) Direct staff to set up a
series of meetings with the development community; starting in the next
two or three months, for the development community to send a set of clear
e-mails to staff to formulate the types of issues that need to be discussed;
(2) Direct staff to select several main topics received from the development
community and have a meeting to discuss the top issues along with any
ideas for improvements to the process; and (3) Form a new committee with
a sunset provision in one year; consisting of eleven (11) members, five (5) of
which come from the building and development community, five (5) of
which come from the community as a whole, and a commissioner liaison to
be a potential tiebreaker; with each Commissioner appointing two (2)
members, one from the building/development community and one from the
community as a whole.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan stated that he did not mind having a commissioner
liaison, but brought to the Board's attention that there is an Ordinance that
stated that commissioners are to be non-voting members on committees, and
suggested that the eleventh person should be an at large member that was
appointed by the committee and voted on.

Commissioner Zorc requested input from Director Boling and Mr. Robinson
about the number of members on the past PSAC Committee, and what areas of
industry the members represented. He expressed the possible need for more
than 11 members.
Director Boling stated that to his recollection the numbers were comparable,
with members consisting of engineers, bankers, and developers. Mr. Robinson
recalled the members consisting of attorneys, engineers, and people from the
environmental sector.
Joe Paladin, President of Black Swan Consulting, made comments in support of
creating a new Professional Services Advisory Committee.
The motion was amended by Commissioner Solari, seconded by Commissioner
Adams, to form a committee made up of eleven (11) members consisting of
members from the building and development community and others in the
community with involvement in building and development. Each Commissioner
would appoint two members. The Board as a whole would appoint the 11th
member to be a member at large. The committee would start to meet in the next
two (2) to three (3) months, after staff had an opportunity to receive comments
and prioritize a list of six (6) to ten (10) agenda items for the committee to
consider. The committee would have meetings to discuss the top priority items
and determine recommendations on ways to improve the process. The committee
would sunset within one year. Staff would draft a resolution establishing the
committee and bring back to the Board at the July 11, 2017 meeting. The motion
carried by the following vote:

Proposed Medical Renewal
(This Item was heard after Item 10. C.3, and placed here for continuity.)
Human Resources Director Suzanne Boyll provided a PowerPoint Presentation
on the proposed changes to the Health Insurance Plan for the Fiscal Year
2017-2018. She announced that the new proposal included wellness and
preventative benefits that would be covered at 100% with no -out -of pocket cost
to the employee, and that all deductibles, coinsurance, and prescription
copayments would now count toward the annual out-of-pocket maximum.
A lengthy discussion ensued amongst the Board about the use of out -of -network
providers because of necessity and the projected net revenues of the health plan.
Suggestions were made for future consideration of ways to reduce the burden
for retirees, as well as the incorporation of incentives to encourage positive
behavior with respect to wellness. The Board noted that the current cost of the
health plan was extremely low compared to other jurisdictions, and that it
remained an affordable policy for quality health care with limited deductibles.
A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner
Solari, to approve the proposed changes to the health plan as follows: 1)
Increase the employer contribution to the plan by $30 per month for single and
family coverage to provide a funding reserve; 2) Increase the employee
contribution to the plan by $20 per month for both single and family coverage; 3)
Modify the plan design to provide 100% wellness/preventive benefit and include
all employee out of pocket costs in the out of pocket maximum; 4) Increase the
cost share for advance imaging from $25 to $100; 5) Increase the out of network
deductible from $400/$800 to $800/$1600 and the out of network out of pocket
maximum from $3,000/$6,000 to $4,000/$8,000; and 6) Eliminate the prepayment
of insurance premiums one month in advance and provide employees a premium
free month in September 2017. The motion carried by the following vote:

Vincent Burke gave a brief history of the North Sebastian Septic to Sewer (S2S)
Phase I Project, and provided a summary of the tentative schedule; the funding
allocations; assessment procedures; and the proposed assessments to the
property owners that would benefit from the project. He noted that the method
for calculating the assessments was more complicated than a traditional
residential assessment because of the commercial nature, and that it was a
method that was fair and equitable to the smaller parcels. He made mention that
if the resolution passed, a Public Hearing would be held on July 18, 2017, at
9:05 a.m. in the Indian River County Commission Chambers to outline the
Hydraulic Fair Share (HFS)/Equivalent Residential Units (ERU's) assessment.
He also noted that the Utilities Department was coordinating with the City of
Sebastian to hold a meeting at Sebastian City Hall on the evening of July 11,
2017, to inform those residents who are not able to attend the July 18, 2017
meeting and to provide details of the project.

Assistant County Attorney Kate Cotner stated that the Board of County
Commissioners for St. Lucie County and the Board of County Commissioners of
Martin County have expressed a desire to form a collaborative effort in holding a
meeting with the Board of County Commissioners for Indian River County to
discuss joint legislative priorities that all three Counties may have in common.
These joint priorities may include topics regarding the Lagoon, All Aboard Florida,
and Home Rule Authority.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan asked if it was necessary to pass a resolution to hold every
meeting, and if there was a way to create a broader, more open-ended resolution in
case of emergencies. He stated that in the past, the Board met with neighboring
Counties on a more regular basis and expressed the desire to continue to meet.
Attorney Cotner stated that the County Attorney's Office would review the options
and bring them back to the Board. County Attorney Dylan Reingold noted that the
Legislature had only adopted the additional allowance for the ability to have these
meetings in the past year, and stated that the County Attorney's Office would
review this more closely.
Commissioner Zorc suggested to include the neighboring counties in all other
directions to provide the ability to hold meetings if joint legislative priorities came
up for discussion.

County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided information on the intent of the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to issue a permit for a Domestic
Wastewater Facility for Sunbreak Farms, LLC located in Indian River County and
St. Lucie County. He stated that the County did not file a petition for an
administrative hearing to challenge the permit, but instead met with representatives
from Sunbreak Farms, LLC to discuss the proposed facility. He stated that the
County drafted and sent a letter to FDEP expressing concerns with regard to what
the County felt as lenient reporting criteria and issues with the stormwater holding
capacity of the facility. He noted that St. Lucie County filed a petition for
administrative hearing challenging the permit, and requested direction from the
Board as to whether to intervene with St. Lucie County's filing of the petition for
administrative hearing to challenge the intent to issue a permit for the construction
of a Type I Biosolids Management Facility.
Commissioner Solari inquired as to whether there was any benefit for the County to
intervene, and felt that it was not necessary to take the additional legal step to
intervene with St. Lucie County in the filing of their petition.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan made comments regarding the Special Call meeting that he
attended in St. Lucie County, where he observed that the majority of the speakers
were concerned that there had not been enough time to fully analyze the issues. He
expressed concern over some of the wording in the documents involved with the
permit and stated that he was in favor of intervening with St. Lucie County as a
show of support and to ensure that all the questions are answered.
