Authorize staff to proceed with surveying, designing and bidding for a frontage improvement plan based on the preliminary financial costs. A work order for specific work will be brought to the Board for approval at a future meeting. 2. Input on the conceptual ideas as well as the preliminary capital costs that have been generated by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and Geosyntec. Attachments: Staff Report Solid Waste Disposal District Managing Director Himanshu Mehta provided an update though his PowerPoint Presentation of the Brownfields Redevelopment Process Improvement Plan for the former South Gifford Road Landfill (Gifford Landfill). He stated that the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) was awarded a Brownfields Coalition Assessment Grant utilizing the Gifford Landfill and was working with Geosyntec on a redevelopment plan for the site. He added that in December 2016, the TCRPC held a workshop in the Gifford Community to engage the community on ideas for the potential redevelopment uses for the former landfill site. He continued that on January 24, 2017, the Board directed staff: 1) to authorize the TCRPC to continue with the redevelopment planning efforts with direction from the SWDD; 2) authorized staff to clean up and beautify County frontage in the initial phase; and 3) not commit to three to five acres for the Gifford Customer Convenience Center, but to keep 12 to 15 acres reserved for the Road and Bridge Compound. Indian River County Florida Page 2 Board of Commissioners SWDD Meeting Minutes - Final July 11, 2017 Managing Director Mehta referred to the County Frontage at the Gifford Landfill and mentioned that one of the options was to clear some of the frontage area and the exotics in order to replace the required landscape buffer in accordance with the County Code for an estimated cost of $100,000. He also mentioned a lower cost option for a visually/aesthetically pleasing buffer on the opening areas. A discussion ensued on the landscaping costs. It was the consensus of the Board to remove some of the exotics and clean up the frontage without the additional landscaping. Managing Director Mehta gave an overview of Plans A & B - Conceptual Community Input from the December 2016 meeting which included an Amphitheater, Open Air Pavilions, Cultural Arts Building, Farmer's Market, Open Fields, and Hiking Trails, for an estimated cost of $16 million to $22 million, not including the operational costs. He said that the TCRPC would hold another Community Stakeholders Meeting at the Gifford Community Center on July 27, 2017 to obtain community input on the plans and costs. He added that none of these improvements were in the County budget or future plans, and would require grants and private funding. County Administrator Brown expressed his thoughts on scaling back the plans for the Gifford Landfill site and felt the estimated costs were too high. He cautioned that these improvements were not set aside in the five-year plan. Commissioner Solari suggested cleaning up the frontage area of the site and noted that there were no extra funds set aside in the County's budget for this type of project. He preferred to focus on the current County's facilities with the limited resources. Vice Chairman O'Bryan looked at the Gifford Landfill site as a long term plan. He supported a second Community Meeting for input, and suggested scaling back and prioritizing the project to complete in phases, which would be an opportunity to look for grants and other funding. Chairman Flescher spoke on the Intergenerational Recreation Facility as a long range plan and how estimated costs end up always costing more. He agreed with Vice Chairman O'Bryan to develop a long term plan for the site and clean up the frontage area. Commissioner Adams commented that there were many opportunities in Brownfields Site Rehabilitation Programs through the State with grants and partnership opportunities within the community. Commissioner Zorc suggested that a Master Plan of the Gifford Landfill should be done in stand-alone phases with funding limits. Indian River County Florida Page 3 Board of Commissioners SWDD Meeting Minutes - Final July 11, 2017 Freddie Woolfork, 4590 57th Avenue, wanted the project to continue and suggested going back to the community to let them know that it is a long-term plan. He agreed that the wish list should be prioritized, that it should be done in stages, and opined that the garden would not be a good concept on a former landfill. He also agreed that the front area needed to be cleaned up. Managing Director Mehta noted that the Gifford Customer Convenience Center was the focal point of the difference of the Conceptual "Plan A" and "Plan B", and he asked for input from the Board. Vice Chairman O'Bryan suggested going with Plan B, keeping the Gifford Customer Convenience Center open. It was the Board's consensus to direct staff to move forward with 1) cleaning up the frontage and removing the exotics from the former South Gifford Landfill Site without a lot of additional landscaping; 2) continue with the Community meetings to prioritize their ideas for the site; 3) economize (scale back the project); and 4) phase the project by priority.
