DATE: December 15, 1992
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO AUTHORIZE STAFF TO DRAW UPON A LETTER OF
CREDIT FOR CHAPAM CORPORATION
SD -90-05-004
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of December 22, 1992.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On February 26, 1991, the Board of County Commissioners granted
final plat approval for the Treasure Trail Subdivision. The
applicant, Chapam Corporation, was required to provide an executed
1 -Year Warranty/Maintenance Agreement to guarantee the performance
of the subdivision's publicly dedicated improvements and post
security to guarantee the Warranty/Maintenance Agreement. The
applicant submitted an Indian River National Bank Letter of Credit
for $17,415075 to satisfy the security requirement. The
Warranty/Maintenance Agreement is provided by a developer for the
County's protection against faulty subdivision improvements.
Following expiration of the 1 -year warranty period, staff inspects
the subject subdivision to determine if any repairs to the
subdivision are required. If no repairs are required, the
Warranty/Maintenance period expires and the posted security is
released. If repairs are required, the developer is notified that
the required repairs must be completed prior to expiration of the
posted security. If the repairs are not complete, the County must
act to draw upon the corresponding security which shall fund
completion of the required repairs by the County.
ANALYSIS:
Staff's 1 -year inspection of the subject subdivision revealed that
repairs to the subdivision's drainage system were required in order
to bring the system into compliance with the St. Johns River Water
Management District (SJRWMD) Stormwater Permit and county land
4
development. permit issued for the project. Staff notified the
applicant of the necessary repairs. The applicant then began work
to complete the repairs, pending final approval of the work by the
SJRWMD. Subsequently, the applicant requested that staff allow the
original letter of credit to be extended to accommodate completion
of the final remaining repair work. Staff granted the request by
accepting an extension of the letter of credit, which now has a
December 31, 1992 expiration date. As of the date of this report,
the applicant has not yet received from the St. Johns Water
Management District, or from county public works, approval of the
proposed repair work.
The applicant has informed staff that there is not sufficient time
_ to complete the repair work and receive approval from the SJRWMD
prior to the December 31, 1992 letter of credit expiration date.
The applicant is requesting staff's permission to extend the letter
of credit for an additional three (3) months to accommodate
completion of -the actual repair work. Staff has no objection to
such a request. However, the replacement letter of credit has not
yet been received by staff as of the date of this report.
To ensure that there will be no lapse in posted security and to
ensure that the county will not incur the cost to complete the
final remaining required repairs, staff is requesting that the
Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to draw upon the
existing letter of credit if an acceptable replacement letter of
credit is not received by staff by December 281 1992. Should the
developer present a new, acceptable letter of credit to staff
following staff's draw upon the original letter of credit, staff
will return the collected funds to the developer.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the
attached resolution demanding payment under the provisions of the
Indian River National Bank Letter of Credit, authorize the Chairman
to endorse the Letter of Credit, and authorize staff to draw upon
the letter of credit.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
staff recommendation as set out in the above memo
and adopted Resolution 92-228A, authorizing draft
upon Indian River National Bank Irrevocable Letter
of Credit No. 0019.

SUBJECT: Lodar, Inc.'s Request for Extension of the Indian River
Country Club Planned Development Conceptual Plan and
Special Exception Use Approval
PD -91-01-002
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of December 22, 1992.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On December 17, 1991, the Board of County Commissioners granted
Lodar, Inc.'s request for conceptual planned development (PD) plan
and special exception use approval for the Indian River Country
Club. The Indian River Country Club is a proposed golf course and
300 residential unit development of 233 acres of undeveloped,
unplatted land lying within the Vero Beach Highlands Subdivision.
The overall proposed density for the project is .1.29 units per
acre.
Urban Resource Group, on behalf of Lodar, Inc., now requests that
the conceptual PD plan and special exception use approval be
extended for another year. The original conceptual plan expires
December 17, 1992 unless the Board of County Commissioners approves
the extension request. The extension request was received prior
to the December 17th expiration, and, therefore, the request may be
acted upon by the Board of County Commissioners.
Lodar, Inc. is requesting extension of the conceptual plan and
concurrent special exception use approval for the Indian River
Country Club project pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 9150
Planned Development, of the county's Land Development Regulations.
Pursuant to the Planned Development regulations, the Board of
County Commissioners may grant, or grant with conditions, the
requested one (1) year- conceptual plan and concurrent special
exception use extension.
ANALYSIS: -
All county departments have now reviewed the extension request. No
department objects to the proposed extension. In staff's opinion,
no modification to the conceptual plan is required since the
existing, approved plan application would substantially conform to
current Land Development Regulations (LDRs). _

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve
Lodar Inc.'s request for a one (1) time, one (1) year extension of
the Indian River Country Club Planned Development Conceptual Plan
and special exception use approval. The new plan expiration date
will be December 17, 1993.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously granted a
one-time, one-year extension of the IR Country Club
Planned Development Conceptual Plan and special
exception use approval with the new expiration date
of December 17, 1993.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ISSUES UPDATE REPORT
Community Development Director Bob Keating made the following
presentation:
TO: James Chandler
County Administrator
FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP N"K'
Community Development Director
DATE: December 14, 1992
SUBJECT: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ISSUES UPDATE REPORT
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of December 22, 1992.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
On September 15, 1992, county staff presented a brief economic
development status report to the Board of County Commissioners.
That report identified the various economic development initiatives
then being pursued by staff -and noted the status of each activity.
A copy of that report is included with this memo and labelled as
Attachment #1.
Since the September report, staff has continued implementation of
the identified economic development initiatives. Complementing the
staff action, the Board, in November, approved the County's revised
Overall Economic Development Plan (OEDP). Not only does the OEDP
formalize the County's economic development strategy, but it also
incorporates and adopts as County policy many of the referenced
economic development initiatives.
At this time, staff feels that it is necessary to update the Board
regarding the implementation status of the county's economic
development- initiatives and to obtain direction from the Board
regarding certain other activities. Attachment #2 identifies each
of the economic development initiatives and provides the current
implementation status of each.
24
M M M
ANALYSIS:
As indicated in attachment #2, county staff have taken action on
each of the previously identified economic development initiatives.
While some of these activities have been completed, others are
ongoing and warrant continuing action. A few activities are still
under consideration and will be completely addressed in the near
future. Foremost among those activities under consideration is the
property tax abatement issue.
• Property Tax Abatement
One economic development initiative previously identified by staff
involves establishment of a property tax abatement program to
encourage economic development in the county. Authorized by
Article VII, Section 3 of the Florida Constitution and Chapter
196.1995, Florida Statutes,. property tax abatement may be
established only through approval of a referendum.
In considering the establishment of a tax abatement program, staff
has researched existing laws, identified policy issues, and
determined procedural requirements. In so doing, staff has
reviewed various materials, including the recently adopted St.
Lucie County tax abatement program. Based upon this limited
analysis, county staff have identified some of the parameters of a
tax abatement strategy.
As provided for in the state constitution and the statutes, a
property tax abatement program affects only those taxes levied by
the local government instituting the tax abatement program. For
Indian River County then, the taxes to be abated for eligible
businesses would be the county's general fund, MSTU, and emergency
services district advalorem taxes. School board, drainage
district, water management district, and other taxes would still be
payable. In addition, the law provides that the abatement will
apply only to the tax chargeable to improvements to real property
made after the effective date of the program; advalorem tax on land
may not be abated.
Based upon the limitations referenced above, staff feels that a
property tax abatement program would not reduce revenue
sufficiently to cause a budget problem for the county, and such a
program may enhance economic development. To illustrate the effect
of tax abatement on a hypothetical business receiving the
abatement benefit, consider a business which purchases a $1,000,000
(assessed value) parcel in the county and constructs a $1,000,000
(assessed value) building on the property.
With a total millage rate of approximately 20 mills, total tax
without abatement on the $2,000,000 of assessed value would be
approximately $40,000 per year. With property tax abatement, the
$1,000,000 land value would be fully taxed at 20 mills, while the
$1,000,000 improvement value would have approximately 8 of 20 mills
of tax abated. In this example, the $40,000 tax bill would be
reduced to $32,000 for each year that abatement applied. According
to state law, that cannot exceed 10 years.
As indicated by.the example above, tax abatement as an economic
development incentive would probably have more of a perception
value for the county than a monetary value for the business.
Regardless, there are a number of issues that must be addressed in
structuring a property tax abatement program for the county. Among
those issues are:
25
O 1992 Roof 88'�,,.'�
DEC 2 2 1992
BOOK 88 PACE.359
-7
• When to have the referendum. Consideration is being
given to having it in conjunction with the next
countywide referendum (children's services or beach
renourishment).
• Duration of abatement. While state law allows a 10 year
abatement, that is a maximum. St. Lucie County bases the
duration of its abatement on the number of county
residents employed by the business.
• Eligible businesses. Since tax abatement should provide
an incentive for businesses that can locate in other
areas to locate in Indian River County, tax abatement
should not apply to retail businesses that must locate
near their markets. A decision needs to be made on which
businesses should be eligible and which should not be.
• Approval of abatement. While the Board of County
Commissioners must approve the tax abatement application
of any business, should that decision be discretionary or
should the tax abatement be a matter of right if
eligibility criteria are met? St. Lucie County reviews
each application on a case-by-case basis.
• Amount of abatement. Sate law provides that a tax
abatement program may grant a tax exemption of up to loot
of the assessed value of improvements made to real
property. Since the amount of exemption may be less than
100%, the opportunity exists for the county to vary the
amount based upon the impact of the business.
These are just some of the issues which must be considered in
structuring a property tax abatement program for the county. In
pursuing the issue, staff had planned to do more detailed research,
develop specific recommendations, and present a draft program to
the Economic Development Council for consideration.
At the present time, staff requests that the Board of County
Commissioners authorize staff to proceed with development of a
property tax abatement program. By so doing, the board would
charge the Economic Development Council with preparing a tax
abatement program, while retaining review and approval authority
regarding the program.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the -Board of County Commissioners review the
economic initiatives status report, consider the property tax
abatement issue, provide direction to staff, and authorize staff to
work with the Economic Development Council to prepare a property
tax abatement program.
Director Keating stressed that initiatives relating to utility
expansion and roadway improvements are two of the most important
activities that ensure economic development.
Chairman Eggert commented that she had been meeting throughout
the past 6 months with Administrator Chandler and department heads
and they determined that the County can get the infrastructure out
26
® M M
M W
to I-95 at CR -512, SR -60, and Oslo Road without any special
bonding. She added that road improvement, especially along the
node roads, should be watched very carefully. The County is doing
everything it can to provide opportunities for industrial services
in several places. The Planned Residential Development (PRD) can
help with this. Chairman Eggert directed the Board's attention to
a handout listing several suggestions that were made and mentioned
that this information can be provided to individuals upon request.
Commissioner Bird asked, and Director Keating clarified, that
the I-95 and 74th Avenue node refers to the I-95 and Oslo Road
node.
Commissioner Macht mentioned that the County is considering
providing funds to the Council of 100 for preparing a program
whereby speakers could make presentations in an effort to recruit
new businesses into the area.
Chairman Eggert replied that the Economic Development Council
is discussing that possibility.
Commissioner Macht asked, and Administrator Chandler
responded, that the utilities to the industrial nodes are expected
to be completed in about a year.
Utility Services Director Terry Pinto commented that staff
recently submitted a proposal to issue a change order on the line
going out to Sebastian High School to get the expansion to CR -512
under way within the next 45 days and completed in about six
months.
Commissioner Macht was very pleased and felt that now is the
time to start putting a package together to sell to prospects.
Chairman Eggert emphasized that first the Board has to decide
if they want to proceed with tax abatement, which would require a
referendum.
Director Keating directed the Board's attention to Attachment
2, which discusses tax abatement. Staff has been watching St.
Lucie County, which had a referendum on tax abatement in the last
election, to see how they manage their program. The memorandum
gives some of the characteristics of a tax abatement program in
Florida. Director Keating asked for the Board's input, which staff
would take to the Economic Development Council for their
recommendations, and then come back to the Board for final
approval.
Chairman Eggert understood the Board already had conceptually
approved this and is just looking for the specifics to be
finalized.

DEC 2 2 m2 BOOK 88 Pgs ,o
BOOK 88 PAGE 361-1
Commissioner Macht pointed out that all of these things
together should make Indian River County very attractive to
prospective businesses coming into the area.
Lengthy discussion ensued regarding various ways to provide
tax abatement.
Director Keating reported that St. Lucie County's program
rewards businesses that employ people who were already living in
the community for a year or longer.
Commissioner Bird mentioned that he would prefer ten small
businesses to one large business.
Commissioner Macht suggested that environmentally -friendly
businesses be given additional abatement and asked about specific
situations regarding manufacturers located on rented property,
businesses that receive abatement and then leave the County when
the abatement period has expired, and whether this will be an
abatement or deferral program.
Director Keating explained that deferral would not require a
referendum.
Commissioner Adams felt that businesses who leave the
community at the end of the abatement period should then be
required to pay the taxes.
Discussion ensued and Director Keating noted that this has
been a cooperative effort among County departments. Staff has also
been getting good feedback from the community.
Chairman Eggert advised that a mail referendum would not cost
as much as a regular county -wide election and that the Supervisor
of Elections needs some advance notification about this.
Commissioner Adams felt this is certainly a step in the right
direction and shows that the County is responsive to concerns and
needs of the community. .
ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously agreed to
go forward with a referendum on tax abatement and
directed staff to look at the most cost-effective
way to do this and bring it back to the Board for
final approval.

REQUESTED ADDITIONAL AUDIT SERVICES FOR TAB COLLECTOR AND SHERIFF -
BUDGET AMENDMENT 006
OMB Director Joe Baird presented the following memorandum
dated December 17, 1992:
TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners
DATE: December 17, 1992
SUBJECT: REQUESTED ADDITIONAL AUDIT SERVICES FOR
TAX COLLECTOR AND SHERIFF - BUDGET AMENDMENT 006
EMERGENCY AGENDA ITEM
FROM: Joseph A. Bair
OMB Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The newly elected Tax Collector and Sheriff will take office on January 5, 1993. Gene
Morris, the incumbent Tax Collector, and Karl Zimmermann, the newly elected Tax
Collector, have requested additional audit services_ be performed as of January 4, 1993 to
protect both parties. Also, incumbent Sheriff Tim Dobeck and newly elected Sheriff Gary
Wheeler, both feel additional audit services as of January 4, 1993 would protect both of
them.
Based on the request, I contacted Coopers & Lybrand, the County's auditor, for a quote
to perform the necessary services. Attached is Coopers & Lybrand proposed Scope of
Services to be performed in order to give a sufficient level of comfort. The cost is $4,500
for the Tax Collector's Office and $3,000 for the Sheriff's Office. These additional audit
services were not in the 1992/93 budget; therefore, a budget amendment is needed to
transfer $7,500 from General Fund Contingencies to pay for this expenditure.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve Budget Amendment
006 and authorize Coopers & Lybrand to perform the Scope of Services at a cost of $7,500.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved
Budget Amendment 006 and authorized Coopers &
Lybrand to perform the Scope of Services at a cost
of $7,500.

STUDY OF THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF THE WEST REGIONAL
SITE FOR AN EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SYSTEM

Utility Services, presented the following memo dated December 14,
1992.

AND STAFFED ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER
BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: STUDY OF THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF THE
WEST REGIONAL SITE FOR AN EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SYSTEM
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. IIS -92 -03 -ED
BACKGROUND
On June 2, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners authorized and
approved Work Authorization No. 1 and an agreement with Masteller
and Moler, Inc., to conduct the above -referenced study (see attached
agenda item).
ANALYSIS
Cost-effective and environmentally sensitive effluent disposal is
becoming a critical issue for Indian River County in general and
West and South Regional specifically in relating to the
Anti -degradation Law and the Indian River Lagoon Act, which became
effective June 1991.
The consultant has studied several methods of disposal using the
existing 230 acres of the West Regional site (Citrus Grove - 80
acres, Sod Farm - 150 acres). Based on the study, the consultant
has selected the artificial wetland as the recommended method of
pretreatment prior to disposal of the effluent.
The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation has conceptually
given us their positive endorsement of this method of effluent
disposal, with specific requirements to meet as listed in their
letter dated October 29, 1992 (see attachment).
The Department of Utility Services recommends approval of the
submitted report of the study and seeks permission to negotiate with
Masteller and Moler, Inc., for design, permitting, services during
the bid proceeding, and project administration during construction.
The Department will bring the negotiated contract back to the Board
of County Commissioners for approval.

Utility Services Director Terry Pinto reported that one of the
most important components of a wastewater system is disposal of
effluent. The County reuses all its effluent and does allow any
direct discharge to receiving streams. Effluent disposal is a
problem at the west county wastewater treatment facility. The
effluent has been used for irrigating the grove and sod farm on the
200 -acre site. However, this does not provide enough effluent
disposal to serve the west county area. The County contracted with
Masteller and Moler, Inc. to determine the most.cost-effective and
environmentally safe way to dispose of the effluent.
Earl Masteller, president of Masteller and Moler, Inc.
discussed the need for more effluent disposal and reuse capacity at
the west county wastewater treatment plant. The plant is currently
treating about 500,000 gallons of effluent a day. This is expected
to increase to 2 million gallons in the future, which is a great
deal more than the sod farm, grove and percolation basin can
handle. Masteller and Moler studied five alternatives for handling
the effluent. Percolation ponds, spray irrigation, and deep lake
without disposal could not dispose of more than 500,000 gallons of
effluent on a 230 -acre site. Hyacinth ponds and wetlands showed
promise. A hyacinth pond could handle up to 6 million gallons of
effluent disposal. However, it is questionable whether permitting
from the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) could be
obtained and operation and maintenance costs are very high in
hyacinth ponds. The County -owned 230 acres is ideally suited for
a man-made wetland, which could accommodate up to 6 million gallons
a day and is the most environmentally -sensitive solution and cost-
effective solution.
Chip Swindell, Masteller and Moler, gave a slide presentation
of a very successful wetlandihis company established in the Orlando
area.
Commissioner Bird suggested that the County enter into an
agreement with the St. Johns River Water Management District
(SJRWMD) to pump the excess effluent out to their wetlands.
Director Pinto explained that there are regulations
specifically forbidding discharge into existing wetlands.
Commissioner Bird asked if there are any drawbacks to this
plan, such as mosquitoes.
Mr. Swindell assured him that the design of the proposed
wetland is such that it will allow maximization of predators that
feed on mosquitoes. In fact, there are fewer mosquitoes at the
Orlando site now than when it was a cow pasture. A high water
quality is maintained enabling the predators that feed on
mosquitoes to thrive. -Wetlands have a tremendous capacity for
W,
removing bacteria and virus. The fish and birds stay healthy.
Water specimens were sent to the University of Florida for
analysis, and no evidence of either viruses or bacteria was found.
Director Pinto conveyed that percolation ponds create a much
greater mosquito problem.
Commissioner Adams related that she really loved this type of
effluent disposal and would like to see a much larger area than 200
acres. She suggested the County look at other areas in the future.
She saw the Iron Bridge treatment area in Orlando and thought it
was incredible.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird to approve the submitted report of
the study, grant permission for staff to negotiate
with Masteller and Moler, Inc., and bring the
negotiated contract back to the BCC for approval, as
recommended by staff.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird asked about use of the
water during the dry season.
Director Pinto explained that the County has been having a
hard time convincing the citrus industry to use the effluent for
irrigation. Since the proposed managed wetland will provide
indirect discharge, the water quality will be much better and will
probably be more acceptable to the citrus industry. Director Pinto
mentioned that fees charged to developers for wetlands mitigation
when other areas of the county are developed could contribute
towards expanding this site at no cost to the County.
Under discussion, Commissioner Macht understood that with a 20
cent per gallon cost it means a capital cost of approximately $1.2
million, and Earl Masteller confirmed that to be correct. He
explained that in fast tracking the design for 2 mgd or 6 mgd, the
cost is almost the same, so they would opt to just go right to the
6 mgd and be done with it. Another thing he would like to mention
is that the deep pond is not only important from the design of the
operation but also is important because it generates the needed
fill material. He confirmed that water can be stored in cells for
up to 60 days during the rainy season.
Commissioner Bird wondered whether there will be recreational
benefits, and Mr. Swindell recommended stocking it with fish and
setting up nature walks.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

BACKGROiJND
The Department of Utility Services has approximately a 60 -acre
citrus grove located at the West Subregional Wastewater Treatment
Plant site. On September 22, 1992, a bid package was prepared for
the sale of our red and white grapefruit crop for 1992-93. No bids
were received.
On October 27, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners authorized
the Department of Utility Services to negotiate the sale of the
1992-93 grapefruit crop. (See attached agenda item and minutes.)
ANALYSIS
Two verbal bid prices for each type of grapefruit (white and red)
have been received. The best price for the white grapefruit is at
the going market price of $0.85 per pound solids "delivered in,"
less $1.75 per box for pick, load and haul. The best price for the
red grapefruit was $4.00 per box on the tree. Both prices were
quoted by Hubert Graves Packing Co., Inc. (see attached). The
white grapefruit have a pick date of January and the red grapefruit
have a pick date of February.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners authorize the sale of the 1992-93
grapefruit crop to Hubert Graves Packing Company, Inc., at the
price stated in the attached quote, and execute the attached
agreement.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously authorized
the sale of the 1992-93 grapefruit crop to Hubert

Primary Care/Public Health Committee
The Primary Care/Public Health Committee unanimously
recommended that the Indian River Dental Facilities for the Needy
Program, with emphasis on needy children (see attached report by
Dental Association President, Dr. Mickey Conway) be approved.
This program will function in a way similar to the "Project We
Care" volunteer doctor program.
A mobile dental van is to be provided by the Port St. Lucie
Baptist Church. The County is asked to accept title and accept
the cost of insurance, which is $1,100 according to Joe Baird.
Drivers would come from the Public Health volunteer pool, and
Risk Management will require them to have a driver's license
check and defensive driver's course.
Liability coverage for dentists, hygienists and assistants
will be covered through the State as is "Project We Care."
We recommend $1,000 for vehicle maintenance, $500 for
equipment maintenance and $900 for starting supplies. It is
expected that in three to six months sufficient funds will be
generated to carry the program. The Hospital District is
providing $40,000, the Dental Association has allocated $2,000,
and we ask the Board of County Commissioners to approve $3,500
for insurance, vehicle repair, equipment maintenance and starting
supplies.
Commissioner
confirmed, that
maintenance.
Adams asked, and Administrator Chandler
$1,000 is budgeted for gasoline and vehicle

Mickey Conway, D.D.S., explained that the committee is seeking
County assistance with startup costs. In the future, they hope to
be able to tap Federal funds under the Medicaid program. He
advised that the van will travel to areas where people cannot get
transportation to the core facility.
Commissioner Adams commended Dr. Conway for starting this
program, and Dr. Conway responded that there is an overwhelming
need for good preventive care, as well as parent education.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously agreed to
provide up to $5,000 in starting costs for the
Indian River Dental Facilities for the Needy
Program.
