Several months ago we appointed Polly Crowell as our Board of

Qualifying Board to work with Melinda Gielow, the Governor's
appointees and the representatives from the other counties in
District 15 to choose the best of the applicants for our new
Health and Human Services Board.
I went through all the applications with Polly Crowell before I
received her letter of September 6, 1992-. Considering the range
of skills, knowledge, experience of the applicants, I agree with
the committee's choices.
I recommend Leonard Edwards, Joyce Johnson Carlson and Sonja
Galanis to be appointed by the Board of County Commissioners to
the District 15 Health and Human Services Board. Others on the
list will have the chance of being appointed by the Governor. We
had many good applicants, but I ask you to approve:
1. Leonard Edwards
2. Joyce Johnson Carlson
3. Sonja Galanis.
Commissioner Scurlock asked about a possible conflict of
interest regarding Sonja Galanis, because she is an employee of the
County Probation Department and is married to Mike Galanis who
works for HRS.
County Attorney Charles Vitunac advised that Sonja Galanisf
relation to Mike Galanis is well known to the people appointing
her. He further advised that this is- a state agency and this
appointment would be their decision.

On July 21, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners approved the
Environmental Learning Center's request to hold the Second Annual
"Wabasso Bridge 5 K Run" on Saturday, October 24, 1992.
The Traffic Engineering Division established contact with the
Indian River Sheriffs Department and arranged for support of the
race.
Construction difficulties have resulted in the delay of the
completion of the construction of the Learning Center's site.

same 8 AM start time.

Since the only item being changed is the requested date on which
the race will be held, staff recommends approval -of this request
which will close CR510 for approximately 45 minutes at 8 AM,
November 14, 1992.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by

OMB Director �W
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS =
Indian River County issued $5,165,000 ten year assessment bonds in 1986 to construct the
Route 60 Sewer Project.. The County currently owes $1,398,839 in principal on the bond

rate than we are earning on our funds at this time. (A negative
arbitrage situation.)

to talk with him earlier but not having a thorough discussion
about it, I agree with his wishes not to have a raise. These
economic times do indeed make it inappropriate.

SUBJECT: Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Request for Special
Exception Use Approval to Construct an Addition/Expansion
to 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 22, 1992.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION BACKGROUND:
Edlund and Dritenbas, Architects has submitted an application for
special exception and major site plan approval to construct an
addition and expansion to an existing church located at 900 27th
Avenue. The project site is zoned RS -6 (Residential Single Family
up to 6 units per acre) and is located on the east side of 27th
Avenue just north of 8th Street. Since places of worship are
considered a special exception use in the RS -6 zoning district, the
church will need to obtain special exception use approval to build
the addition and expansion. The applicant is requesting approval
of two phases: Phase I will contain all proposed building additions
and some parking improvements; Phase II will contain only
additional parking.
At its August 27, 1992 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission
voted 5-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners
approve the special exception request, and voted to grant major
site plan conditional approval contingent upon special exception
use approval being granted by the Board of County Commissioners.
Therefore, if -the Board grants special exception use approval, the
major site plan approval will become effective and will be subject
to the conditions attached to the site plan approval by the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
Pursuant to Section. .971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of County
Commissioners is now to consider the appropriateness of the
requested use based on the submitted site plan and the suitability
of the site for that use. The Board may approve, approve with
conditions or deny the special exception use, and may attach to its
approval any conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate
impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding
area.

Twenty-seventh Avenue is classified as a major arterial on the
County's Thoroughfare Plan, which requires a minimum of 130'
of right-of-way. Presently, 80' of right-of-way exists for
27th Avenue, requiring an additional 25' acquisition from the
applicant's side of 27th Avenue to help make-up the current
50' right-of-way deficit. The Public Works Department has
indicated that the county will purchase the 25' at this time.
Therefore, the applicant needs to coordinate with the Public
Works Department to bring about the acquisition. The site
plan fully accommodates the 25' 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. Environmental Concerns: Approximately the northern half of
the subject site is considered a jurisdictional wetland, which
has been heavily impacted by Maleluca Trees. The applicant is
proposing substantial development within this impacted,
"marginal" wetland area. Such development within this type of
wetland is allowable subject to mitigation, approved via a
wetlands resource permit. In this case, the applicant
proposes to alter the subject wetlands and provide a
combination of mitigation' on-site and fees in lieu of
mitigation to fulfill the entire mitigation requirement. The
Environmental Planner has already approved a wetlands resource
permit for the proposed development. A condition of this
permit is that the applicant shall dedicate to the county a
conservation easement over the mitigation area prior to
release of the site plan.
15. Specific Land Use Criteria: The application must satisfy the
following specific land use criteria which apply to places of
worship in the RS -6 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 a major thoroughfare unless
otherwise approved by 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 locate adjacent to a
multiple -family residentially designated property.

Commissioner Scurlock led discussion regarding the effect of
the proposed changes.
Fire Bureau Prevention Chief Dan Dietz explained that the
purpose of standpipes is to provide firefighting capability for a
multi -story building. The proposed change is in the pressure
requirements for water flow in a 3 -story building. Chief Dietz
felt that the requirement of 30 psi and 200 gallons a minute
provides a reasonable flow for firefighting purposes and would
lessen the cost to builders and developers of 3 -story buildings.
Chief Dietz further explained that the -proposed ordinance would
bring us into concurrence with the 1993 National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) standards.
Vice Chairman Bowman thought the height of the building should
be stated in feet rather than stories.
Assistant County Attorney Terry O"Brien advised that the
standard building code refers to 113 stories or 50 feet," and that
phrase could be included in the amendment to Section 4fl1.12.

The Vice Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if
anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she

RE: REQUEST TO ESTABLISH A NEIGHBORHOOD AWARENESS MERIT
RECOGNITION AWARDS AND NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of September 22, 1992.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Declining neighborhoods create substantial difficulties for both
residents of the neighborhood and the surrounding community.
Reductions in property values, declining owner occupancy rates and
deteriorating neighborhood appearances are a few of the results of
declining neighborhoods. By reversing and reducing the trend to
decline, the impacts upon the neighborhood and the surrounding
community may be stopped and reversed.
The issue of declining neighborhoods -is addressed in policy 3.4 of
the Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan. It is also among
the issues addressed by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee.
Housing Element Policy 3.4 states: The county shall encourage
improved neighborhood appearance by establishing neighborhood
awareness programs and providing annual merit recognition awards
for neighborhood improvement programs.
The intent of this policy is to develop programs which will stop
and reverse the tendency of neighborhoods to decline. Such
programs may be sponsored and supported at both public and private
levels. The programs would generally be administered through the
county, with participation by various county departments, other
agencies, private and public- participants, and neighborhood
residents.
ANALYSIS
The creation of neighborhood improvement and awareness programs may
reduce, halt and reverse the trend of decline suffered by some
existing neighborhoods. Such programs could provide additional
benefits by maintaining and possibly improving property values,
while encouraging resident pride and participation in maintaining
existing neighborhood appearances.
Staff has reviewed existing neighborhood awareness and improvement
programs conducted by other local governments, considered
recommendations of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, and
38
drafted a proposed neighborhood improvement program which may be
undertakers by the county. The proposed program will provide
flexibility in addressing the problems of declining neighborhoods
by providing a combination of methods to promote the improvement of
neighborhoods:
As proposed, the Neighborhood Improvement and Merit Award Program
will require some funding allocations in order to accomplish the
goals of the program. Funding for the program while minimal, will
involve two types of costs: staff funding and the cost of
materials.
For the proposed Improvement/Award Program, however, no additional
direct staff funding costs will be incurred. Implementation,
operation, coordination and administration of the program will be
incorporated as part of the Long -Range Planning Division Section's
existing duties. On occasions when participation by other
departmental staff members is required; the duties to be
accomplished will also be incorporated as a part of the
department's existing duties.
There will also be a minimal amount of funding for materials
required to implement and operate the Improvement/Award Program.
Some of the materials required for the program will be standard
office materials which will not require specialized funding, as
these costs will be incorporated within a department's existing
office materials budget. The remaining materials which will
require specialized funding are the items which provide the unique
features of the Program. These items are listed and described
below:
ITEM DESCRIPTION
1. Public Will be utilized to advertize the program
Notices and its application deadline to county
residents. The advertisement will also
recognize neighborhood award recipients. Two
advertisements will be placed on a quarterly
basis in conjunction with the award periods
for the program.
2. Perpetual Plaque will be placed in the County
Annual Administration Building for public display.
Plaque Plaque will be a perpetual style plaque which
will accommodate 3 to 4 years of quarterly
neighborhood improvement award recipients.
3. Neighborhood Will be mounted at a major entrance to a
Improvement neighborhood receiving an improvement award.
Award Street The sign will be permanent, similar to the
Sign Neighborhood Watch signs currently placed at
neighborhood entrances. The sign will
indicate the year and quarter for which the
award was granted. If the neighborhood
receives the award again, a new street sign
would be added to the previous street sign.
The funding required for these items is proposed from existing
approved budgets. An initial funding budget must include the three
items listed. In future years, only the public notices and the
street signs will require funding, as a new annual perpetual plaque
would be purchased only when the previous plaque was filled.
The proposed budget for the Program is listed in the attached
Program Outline and is divided into an Initial Budget and a
Continuing Budget. The Initial Budget would repeat every three
to four years, depending upon the number of award recipients which
could be accommodated on the annual perpetual plaque.

The proposed items requiring funding are essential to the Program.
While public notices will alert the public to the availability of
the. program, these notices will also recognize award winners on a
countywide basis. The plaque will serve to recognize award winners
on -a continuing basis with the plaque to be located in the County
Administration Building. Finally, the neighborhood street sign
will provide recognition .to merit award neighborhoods. It is
staff's position that these methods of recognition will serve to
encourage participation in the Program by other neighborhoods.
The Af fordable. Housing Committee approved the proposed Neighborhood
Improvement/Merit Award Program and voted to present the program to
the Board of County Commissioners for review and comment.
Following the Board of County Commissioner's review and
consideration of this item, staff and the Affordable Housing
Advisory Committee will develop the necessary activities and items
to institute the program in the 1993 calendar year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize
the establishment of a Neighborhood Improvement/Merit Award Program

community. Poor quality or substandard housing creates a decline
in property values for both the substandard unit property,and the
adjacent properties. Additionally, substandard housing units
reflect upon the character and appearance of the surrounding
community and raise questions concerning the "quality of life" in
the community.
As directed by the Board of County Commissioners, the Affordable
Housing Advisory Committee has addressed the issue of substandard
housing. The committee's efforts relate to policy 3.2 of the
Housing Element of the county's comprehensive plan.
Housing Policy 3.2 states: . "An inventory of housing conditions
shall be undertaken prior to 1993 on a neighborhood by neighborhood
basis to determine units suitable for concentrated code
enforcement, rehabilitation, demolition, and , if appropriate,
relocation or other actions to achieve a suitable residential
environment.
The intent of the policy is to identify housing units which may be
substandard and then determine actions which may be undertaken
either to improve the quality of the unit or to arrange for
demolition of -the unit, if improvement is not feasible.
In order to identify substandard housing units in the county,
planning division staff has undertaken a windshield survey. The
survey required staff members to consider the overall appearance of
housing units in relation to roof and structural conditions and
make an evaluation indicating what type of activity, either
rehabilitation, demolition, or code enforcement action, would be
necessary to improve the quality of the housing unit. (Attachment
#1.)
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The results of the windshield survey are listed in the table
identified as Attachment #2. The results have been broken down to
reflect the population regions identified in* the county's
comprehensive plan (Attachment #3). The graphics depicted in
Attachments #4 through #9 show the general locations of the
44
M M
substandard housing units identified by the survey. Additionally,
Attachments #10 through #17 depict the current extent of water and
sewer system services in relation to the identified substandard
units. Staff has also completed a database file listing the
identified substandard housing units. This database will be
maintained for reference and use in following up or continuing
research on substandard housing units.
ANALYSIS:
The most visible problems for all the substandard units throughout
the county involved missing roof shingles and peeling paint for the
units (over 200 units each). However, over 100 units with holes in
the roof or sagging roofs were identified as well. A total of 71
units were referred to the building division for possible
demolition. The building division is completing review of these
referrals and is either pursuing demolition of the unit or
notifying planning staff that rehabilitation activities for the
units are being conducted.
The compiled information indicates that over forty-five (45)
percent of the county's substandard housing units are located in
the Gifford Area. However, over seventy (70) percent of those
substandard units would require rehabilitation rather than
demolition. The second largest concentration of substandard
housing units (approximately 22%) is located in the undesignated
area west of the designated Wabasso Population Area.
Comparing substandard housing unit locations with the current
availability of water and sewer services indicates that, while some
areas may have both water and sewer service available, other areas
have no services available. Sewer and water service is generally
well distributed throughout the Gifford area, while no water or
sewer service is available in the Wabasso or Fellsmere areas.
However, the substandard unit information obtained may be used in
preparing utility expansion projects and other neighborhood
improvement activities. By providing utility services, residents
and property owners may be encouraged to maintain and rehabilitate
housing units.
Virtually all areas of the county were identified as having at
least four substandard housing units. However, as residents
undertake rehabilitation activities and other housing units
decline, the identified substandard unit totals will change. The
database file created by staff may be utilized as a tool to monitor
changes in the amount of substandard housing in the county. On a
periodic basis, new windshield surveys may be conducted to identify
changes in housing conditions. In addition, the database file may
be used as an information source to target neighborhoods for
participation in neighborhood improvement programs sponsored by
both the county and private organizations.
The Affordable Housing Advisory Committee approved the staff's
substandard housing inventory recommendations and voted to present
the substandard housing inventory information to the Board of
County Commissioners for conceptual review.
RECONIl+ENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County -Commissioners review and
comment on the information presented and direct staff to conduct
the following activities:
1. Update the
maintain a
considered
substandard housing inventory on an annual basis to
current accounting of housing units which may be
substandard; and
45
r
bou 87 fAfE 700
BOOK 87 PAGE 701
2. Coordinate with the building division in follow-up activities
to evaluate substandard housing units, identified by the
update, for rehabilitation or demolition; and
3. Utilize the information provided by the substandard housing
inventory to encourage participation in neighborhood
improvement programs, and/or rehabilitation programs
activities, directed, sponsored or supported by the county.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Eggert being absent) directed staff to
conduct the activities outlined in the above
memorandum for a neighborhood substandard housing
inventory.
Commissioner Bird led discussion regarding substandard
structures that are demolished. He felt that when the County
demolishes a structure, the effect is that we transport the rubble
to our landfill, which shortens the life of the landfill; the
County places a lien on the property and possibly makes the
property unsalable and undevelopable because of the additional
burden of the lien; the vacant lot probably will not be maintained;
and the owner has lost the potential income from the house.
Commissioner Bird wondered if we could find a mechanism to take the
$3,000 or $4,000 demolition cost and loan it to the owner of that
house, let them rehabilitate that home which could then be placed
on the market for rent, and they would repay the loan. That way we
would not have a worthless lien on a piece of property.
Commissioner Scurlock reminded the Board that housing
rehabilitation grant money has been available for at least 12
years.
Director Keating responded that demolition is the very last
resort and is used only when staff has not been able to contact
anyone involved with the property. Staff is researching the
possibility that some of the non-profit housing corporations may be
interested in using the materials which would otherwise be sent to
the landfill. The legislature recently passed an additional $.10
document stamp fee to be used for affordable construction and
rehabilitation, and the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee is
presently working on a proposed housing trust fund to make those
funds for housing rehabilitation. So, if money is not available
right now for rehabilitation of units that are scheduled for
demolition, this program might make that money available.

INSURANCE PROGRAM FISCAL YEAR 1992193
Risk Manager Beth Jordan made the following presentation:
TO: James Chandler, County Administrator
TERII: Jack Price, Personnel Directorqge--e---,�
FROM: Beth Jordan, Risk Manager
DATE: 16 September 1992
- SUBJECT: Insurance Program; 1992-93
As part of the Risk Management program, the Board authorized Waters
Risk Management Consultants to issue a request for proposals (RFP)
for the County's property and casualty insurance coverages for
1992-93. Over 35 bidders, both agents and brokers, were issued the
RFP, and 18 responded. Those responses have been thoroughly
reviewed by the Risk Manager and Al Waters, consultant, whose
recommendation follows.
For 1992-93, the program will remain essentially the same as the
previous three years, with the exception that most property
coverage, including real and personal property, inland marine,
heavy equipment and flood coverages, will be placed with Affiliated
Insurance through Schwab & Company, Miami. The majority of this
coverage is currently carried by the Florida League of Cities with
Schlitt Services writing two lines. Liability coverages will
remain with the Florida League of Cities and third party claims
administration will remain with Insurance Servicing & Adjusting
Company.
This proposed program continues the same or increased commercial
insurance coverages at a cost of $256,493 which, through the
County's loss history, market changes and competitive bidding, will
result in premium savings of approximately $135,000. -
Ms. Jordon then introduced Al Waters who made the following
presentation with one change: the deductible on key buildings will
be $2,500 with the exception of buildings east of the intercoastal
waterway, which will be subject to $200,000 deductible.

Re: Purchase Recommendation
1992 Property/Liability/Workers Compensation Insurance/
Self -Insurance and Third Party Administration Services
This is our report and purchase recommendation on the County's
solicitation of competitive proposals for property/liability/
workers compensation insurance/self-insurance and third party
administration services for 1992-93.
BACKGROUND
This summer the County solicited competitive proposals from a
variety of agents and insurers through a formal RFP process.
Waters Risk Management prepared the RFP. On September 1, the
County received an good response and one copy of each proposal
was mailed to us for review.
18 proposals were received, including it property/liability and 7
claims administration proposals. The proposals were reviewed,
clarified and verified with agents and insurers, and spreadsheets
were .prepared to summarize the options.
PURCHASE RECOMMENDATION
Property - Buildings/Personal Property/Heavy Equipment/Water-
craft/Extra Expense/Valuable Papers
The proposal by Affiliated Factory Mutual Insurance Company
through Schwab & Company appears to provide the broadest coverage
at the best premium. It is subject to a $2,500 deductible on
property, a $1,000 deductible on heavy equipment and a $500
deductible on watercraft. The policy includes the perils of
flood and earthquake.
The $60,357 annual premium compares to $176,040 the County is
currently paying for property insurance with higher deductibles.
Crime
The crime coverage proposed by the Florida Municipal Insurers
Trust through the Florida League of Cities is recommended. It
has $250,000 of faithful performance coverage, with a separate
48
Purchase Recommendation ... page two
bond on the Finance Director. Additionally, forgery and alter-
ation and theft/disappearance/destruction coverage are provided.
Data Processing Equipment -
The proposal by -the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust through the
Florida League of Cities is recommended, to cover equipment,
media, extra expenses.
Boiler and Machinery
The proposal by Affiliated Factory Mutual Insurance Company
through Schwab & Company with a $5,000 per occurrence deductible,
is the lowest cost proposal and is recommended. A policy will be
issued in conjunction with the property policy.
Liability - General Liability/Automobile Liability/Emergency
Medical -Service Liability/Public Official Liability
The County requested that liability proposals be offered with and
without large self-insured retentions. Currently, the County's
general liability retention is $500,000 on a policy through the
Florida League of Cities.
The highest retention option proposed by the Florida League for
the 1992-93 renewal is $200,000. The League indicated that new
underwriting guidelines will not permit the County a retention
above $200,000, and we think the lower retention is appropriate.
Defense costs can be included in the $200,000 retention for an
additional $35,836. We recommend this purchase. It would mean
that defense costs would count towards the $200,000 retention.
Automobile Physical Damage
The automobile physical damage coverage proposed by the Florida
Municipal Insurers Trust through the Florida League of Cities is
recommended. We concur with you that the County should accept
the $25,000 deductible.
Excess Workers Compensation
The proposal by the Florida League of Cities in the Florida
Municipal Self Insurers Fund, with a $150,000 specific self-
insured retention, is recommended.
Claims Administration
The proposal by Insurance Service and Adjusting Company (ISAC) is
among the lowest cost, and risk management staff has been well
pleased with ISAC's service to the County for the past three
years. Therefore we recommend continuance of ISAC's services.

Public Works Director �J
SUBJECT: Recommended Transportation Improvement Projects
for FY 93/94 through FY98/99 -
Florida DOT Five Year Work Program
DATE: September 15, 1992 FILE: dot5yr.agn
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Florida Department of Transportation is in the process of
preparing the Five Year Transportation Improvement Program for
FY93/94 through 98/99. Attached is a prioritized list of
projects recommended by staff for consideration:
1) Projects already included in the FY92/93 Work Program such
as Merrill Barber Bridge Replacement, 27th Avenue
Widening/Resurfacing, Closed -Loop Traffic Signal US1
Project, South AlA Improvement, City of Vero Beach Airport
Perimeter Road, and all other projects already programmed
will continue to be included.
2) In the City of Vero Beach, a project should be initiated to
construct improvements to the 20th Street/ US1 intersection.
Due to the recent construction of the SR60 Twin Pairs
Project, US1 Southbound traffic cannot turn onto the SR60
eastbound leg along 20th Street due to insufficient left
turn laneage.
3) Construction of intersection improvements at 17th Street/USI
and 4th Street/US1 should be programmed as a result of the
DOT studies recently completed for those locations.
4) 'Revise and consolidate Projects 4115422 (SR5/US1 - FEC
Railroad Management to Plan Grade Separation) and Project
4115434 (SR5/US1 widening from 41st Street to 53rd Street)
into a new project to widen US1 from 53rd Street to 4th
Street, including a Railroad Management/Grade Separation
Study. Project priority 2) above is within this same
corridor, but a critical widening need exists at 20th
Street/US1 at this time. Drainage in the area north of 37th
Street is a major concern. Also, signalization at US1 and
10th Avenue and 10th Avenue and SR60 should be considered.
5) Last year, a project to study Indian River Boulevard between
19th Street and the new Merrill Barber Bridge alignment was
programmed. This project should be implemented.
51
' f=
SEP 221992
6) Widen 17th Street/16th Street from US1 to 500' west of 14th
Avenue from four lanes to five lanes.
7) Design and construct intersection improvements at SR60/43rd
Avenue and SR60/58th Avenue as recommended in intersection
studies now underway. The County is designing the widening
of the 43rd Avenue Bridge north of SR60.
8) - 27th Avenue widening from SR60 to,Airport Perimeter Road.
9) Jungle Trail Enhancement Project by adding signage, Indian
River Overlook parking, etc.(estimated cost $100,000). The
County will submit a design in October, 1992.
10) Bikeways -
27th Avenue - SR60 to 12th Street
27th Avenue - South Relief Canal to Oslo Road
4th Street - US 1 to 27th Avenue
Oslo Road - US 1 to 27th Avenue
US 1 - 10th Street to 23rd Street SW
12th Street - Old Dixie Highway to 16th Avenue
43rd Avenue - 41st Street to Oslo Road
CR510 - CR512 to AlA
This list has been coordinated -with the City of Vero Beach
Engineering Department and City of Sebastian Engineering
Department staffs.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
If there are any other projects that need to be included or any
priorities changed, staff will include them in the recommendation
to the DOT.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends approval by_the Board of the above noted items.
Vice Chairman Bowman requested clarification in Item 4,
regarding "Drainage in the area north of 37th Street is a major
concern."
Director Davis stated that the area of concern is between 37th
Street and 45th Street, and he will make that clarification in the
list.
Vice Chairman Bowman was concerned that State Road 60 be
included in the intrastate system of major east -west roads.
Director Davis assured the Board that SR 60 is included in
that plan.

CR510 and SR AlA Right -of -Way Acquisition
DATE: September 16, 1992 FILE: P109510.agn
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Indian River County is planning to widen CR510 and install
signalization at the intersection of CR510 and SR AlA. The
additional right-of-way needed to accomplish this project
consists of 10 parcels.
An Option to Purchase and Contract for Sale was sent to each
property owner for the appraised value of the parcel. As of this
date, the County has closed on five parcels.
The County offered the property owner of Parcel 109 the appraised
value of $4,905 for 900 SF of right-of-way. The property owner
counter offered a price of $7,900 for the parcel. Staff has
negotiated the selling price down to $5,900 which is 20% above
the appraised value. This price differs by $995 from the
County's appraisal. Condemnation is not an alternative when the
difference is this small.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends the Board approve the Contract for Sale and
Purchase Agreement for Parcel 109 and authorize the Board
Chairman to execute the agreement and all other related
documents.
Staff also requests that the Board authorize payment of
attorney's fees up to a not -to -exceed amount of 6% of the selling
price and miscellaneous closing costs.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Chairman Eggert being absent) approved the Contract
for Sale and Purchase with Joseph I. Bogart and

specifications.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners approve the revised Indian River County Water
and Wastewater Utilities Standards dated September 1992.
Director Pinto further clarified that the revisions include
new concepts, but our requirements provide alternatives to maintain
flexibility in consideration of the cost aspect.

REUSE PUMPING STATION
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. IIS -87 -07 -DC
BACKGROUND
On April 16, 1991, the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners approved a Work Authorization with the engineering
firm of Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. (CDM) to redesign the WR WWTP
Reuse Pumping and Distribution System (see attached Work
Authorization, Scope of Services, and Meeting Minutes). The basis
of this redesign was to modify pumping capabilities not only to the
citrus growers west of the plant, but also to the central effluent
disposal site and the proposed deep well in the southwest part of
the County. The Utilities Department is now prepared to construct
the reuse pumping station and reuse delivery line to 4th Street.
AN_
Attached is the proposed Work Authorization (No. 24) with CDM, Inc.,
for bidding and related construction services for this project.
Accompanying the Work Authorization is a detailed breakdown of the
Scope of Services. The Work Authorization is broken into three
tasks; and the costs associated with these tasks are as follows:
Bidding Services $ 6,990 (lump sum)
General Services During Construction $ 9,690 (lump sum)
