Planning Director
FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP
Senior Planner, Cur nt Development
DATE: March 15, 1993
SUBJECT: Windsor Properties Inc. Is Request for Final Plat Approval
for Windsor Phase III
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of March 23, 1993.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On November 12, 1992, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted
preliminary PRD plat/plan approval for a portion of the overall
Windsor project located on the southside of the Windsor main
village and adjacent to the golf course. The entire Phase III. plat
covers 5.70 acres. The area being replatted (Tract B-2) contains
2.1 acres, while a previously unplatted 3.6 acre parcel of property
is being platted to create 7 single family lots. Tract B-2 was
originally platted with Phase II, and presently contains the
existing tennis club and courts. The replat creates from the
original Tract B-2 a tennis club recreation tract (to be known as
"Tract B-311) and 2 residential lots. Thus, 9 residential lots and
the recreation tract (Tract B-3) will be created by the final plat.
ANALYSIS:
The owner's agent, Knight, McGuire and Associates, Inc. is now
requesting final plat approval for all of Windsor Phase III and has
submitted the following:
1. A final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary PRD
plat;
2. A completed Contract for Construction of Remaining Required
Improvements;
10
3. An Engineer's Certified Cost Estimate for the remaining
required improvements.
4. An appropriate security arrangement acceptable to the County
Attorney's Office, to guarantee the construction contract.
There are presently no improvements constructed on the two proposed
residential lots. All portions of the proposed final plat will
connect to existing improvements provided with earlier development
phases.
The internal roads that access all of the lots and recreation tract
were constructed with a .previous phase. The only physical
construction required with Phase III involves the relocation of
some existing utility service lateral lines, construction of the
common driveways, and relocation of some internal roadway median
cuts. None of these proposed improvements has been completed.
The applicant is proposing to bond -out for the required subdivision
improvements as provided for in the county's Land Development
Regulations (LDRs). The County Attorney's Office has reviewed and
approved the submitted Contract for Construction and the letter of
credit. The Public Works and Utilities departments have reviewed
and approved the submitted Engineer's Certified Cost Estimate and
corresponding letter of credit amount. It should be noted that all
improvements within Windsor will be private, with the exception of
certain utilities facilities that will be dedicated to Indian River
County.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners:
1. Grant final plat approval for the ±5.70 acre Windsor Phase III
plat; and
2. Authorize the Chairman to execute the submitted Contract for
Construction of Remaining Required Improvements and accept the
cash escrow that secures the contract.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved
the final plat for Windsor Phase III, authorized the
Chairman to execute the Contract for Construction of
Remaining Required Improvements and accept the cash
escrow which secures the contract, as recommended by
staff.

K. Permission to Execute Citrus Utilities Agreement
The Board reviewed memo from County Attorney Charles Vitunac

TO: BOARD OF COUNTY
/G.
FROM:es P. Vitunac, County Attorney
DATE: March 16, 1993
RE: PERMISSION TO EXECUTE CITRUS UTILITIES' AGREEMENT
With the completion of the wastewater line in the North County area the
County took over the franchise of Citrus Utilities, Inc., which was the
utility provider for Reflections on the River. The wastewater service
is now provided by the County.
Since the County does not yet have water lines in that area the County
negotiated an agreement with Citrus Utilities, Inc. and General
Development Utilities for the County to become the assignee of the
Citrus Utilities' rights in the GDU water plant. The attached agreement
gives the County the right to up to 70,000 gallons per day for a $60,200
water impact fee. This money was collected by Citrus Utilities from
impact fee charges to Reflections on the River customers and was kept in
escrow awaiting the County utility system.
REQUESTED ACTION: Staff recommends that the Board authorize the
Chairman to execute the attached utility agreement accepting the
assignment of Citrus Utilities water rights in the GDU plant.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously accepted
and authorized the Chairman to execute the
assignment of Citrus Utilities, Inc., water rights
in the General Development Utilities water plant

TO: Board of C,ommissioners
FROM: Charles P. Vitunac --county Attorney
DATE: March 15, 1993
RE: EXPANSION OF THE COUNTY SEAT
Section 30. 10, Florida Statutes, requires that the place of office of
every County Officer shall be at the county seat, which in Indian River
County is the City of Vero Beach. The Sheriff's Office is located in
the unincorporated area of the County contiguous to the City of Vero
Beach and, as far as our research can document, the county seat has
never been expanded to include this property.
The Sheriff's Office may be brought into the county seat by annexation
of the land into the City or by expansion of the county seat
boundaries. The easier method is the expansion of the county seat
boundary. The Commissioners may expand the county seat boundaries
pursuant to Section 138.12, Florida Statutes which requires the adoption
of a resolution after the board has held at least two public hearings at
intervals of not less than 10 days nor more than 20 days and after
notice of the proposal and such meetings have been published in a
newspaper of general circulation.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that public hearings be advertised for April 6, 1993
and April 20, 1993 at which the attached resolution would be adopted
expanding the County seat to include the Sheriff's Office and Jail.
Commissioner Adams asked for clarification, and Attorney
Vitunac advised that when the site for the Sheriff's Office was
chosen 10 or 12 years ago the issue of the location of the
Sheriff's Office was raised, but the Board did not choose to expand
the county seat at that time. It is a simple matter to designate
the Sheriff's Office as an expansion of the county seat.
Commissioner Eggert further clarified that it is not
annexation but rather recognizing that the Sheriff's Office is in
the county seat.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously scheduled
public hearings on April 6 and April 20, 1993, to
consider a resolution expanding the boundaries of
the county seat to encompass the location of the
Sheriff's Office and jail, as recommended by staff.

TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney
DATE: March 9, 1993
RE: QUITCLAIM OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT SITE TO
NELSON HYATT AT PARR PLACE MOBILE HOME PARR
When the Department of Utility Services took over the Park Place water
and sewer franchise by purchase in July, 1989, the County agreed to
return the real property used in the utility operation when the County
no longer used it or at the end of ten years, whichever came first.
The County has removed the old wastewater treatment plant from service
and has connected the park to the County wastewater system. The
Department longer is no longer using the wastewater plant site and has
no objection to its return to Nelson Hyatt, the owner of Park Place
Mobile Home Park.
The water plant site is still in use and title cannot be returned yet.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Chairman to execute the attached
County Deed to the wastewater treatment plant site.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved
and authorized the Chairman to execute the Quitclaim
Deed for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Site at Park

Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien advised that this
amending ordinance would fill in the gap between the time we pass
an ordinance and the time it is included in the Code. In its
present form, someone could argue that the provisions of a
particular ordinance do not take effect until it actually is
included in the Code. With the adoption of this ordinance, the
provisions will take effect immediately for any violation of the
ordinance.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the
public hearing.

Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien advised that the
original ordinance concerning parking spaces for handicapped
persons was more stringent than the state requirements and the
Board had some concern about the lack of uniformity. This amending
ordinance contains language which follows the state law, and staff
feels that it would bring us in step with the rest of the state and
make it easier to enforce the ordinance. Attorney O'Brien stated
that section 307.07.1 should be included also to spell out that
these fees would not be distributed according to state statute but
would be deposited in the County's general fund and distributed in
accordance with the Clerk's procedure.
Commission Eggert clarified, and Attorney O'Brien confirmed
that citations based on this ordinance are issued on a County
Uniform Citation form.
Chairman Bird thought the media could do a great community
service by publishing details regarding who can park in handicapped
parking spaces and for what duration, as well as the consequent
penalties for violations.

Attorney O,'Brien further explained that a decal will be
attached to the signs on all County -owned handicapped parking
spaces indicating that the fine is $250, which should help clarify
the law.
Commissioner Eggert thought we should make those decals
available to private property owners who may want to attach them to
their signs.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the
public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously adopted
Ordinance 93-10 amending Section 307.02 and adding
Section 307.07.1 concerning parking spaces for
certain handicapped persons, as recommended by

DESCRIPTIONS & CONDITIONS
In mid-January, the Indian River County Council of 100 submitted to
the Board of County Commissioners a proposed funding request for
FY92-93 and a copy of their 1992-1993 marketing plan. Subsequent
to receipt of the funding request and marketing plan, staff
prepared a brief analysis and presented the request and the
analysis to the County's Economic Development Council (EDC) for
consideration at their meeting of January 26, 1993. A copy of the
staff's agenda item presented to the EDC on this matter is attached
to this memorandum.
Since the January 26, 1993 EDC meeting, the Council of 100 has
revised its request based upon staff and EDC comments. Those
comments addressed three general areas, those being funding,
accountability, and specificity. With respect to funding, the EDC
recommended that the Council of 100 reduce its request to $40,000.
In regard to accountability, the EDC suggested that the Council of
100 set objectives or targets by which the Council's performance
could be evaluated. Finally, the EDC requested that the Council of
100 more specifically detail its proposed expenses.
On March 10, 1993, the Council of 100 submitted its revised funding
request. Titled "Proposed Funding Breakdown", a copy of this
submittal is attached to this memo.
ANALYSIS
As submitted, the Council's Proposed Funding Breakdown complies
with the EDC's recommendations. As proposed by EDC, the funding
request has been reduced from $60,000 to $40,000. In addition, the
Council has provided more detail regarding its proposed activities.
With the resubmitted proposal, the opportunity now exists for the
Council's performance to be evaluated. To the extent that jobs
created in and employers attracted to the -county can be tracked and
related to marketing activities, then the cost effectiveness of the
Council's program and the County's contribution can be determined.
This is consistent with the recommendation of the EDC.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the EDC 's recommendation, it is recommended that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the Council of 100's funding
request.

ECONOMIC GOALS
The team effort between county government, the Council of 100 and the people of Indian
River County represents a new chapter in our history of service to this community. With
renewed energy and leadership, we have outlined a pro -active economic development
program. The only way we can achieve our goals is by working together, speaking with a
single, clear voice... using the proven concept of teamwork. This commitment to teamwork
can best be described as the "Indian River Team." It must not be looked upon as simply an
expression, but rather a SPIRIT. It's a way of working together to get things done. The.
Indian River Team is people helping each other to make this a better place to live and work.
It is truly the magic ingredient in the economic development process.
The first year of any new strategic commitment is typically one of adjustment to new report-
ing procedures and performance measures. Of course the success of any economic initiative
is conditional upon the status of the national economy. Based on these observations, the
results projected represent'Best Guess" performance goals the Council believes are achiev-
able during the first year of plan implementation.
As we all know, the only true method available to evaluate the efforts of the Indian River
County Council of 100 is the number of new jobs created within the community. The result
of the Council of 100's efforts during the last year with the arrival of companies like Macho
Products, Inc., Hybrid Sources, Inc., and GeoNet Ltd, Inc. will create 150 new jobs in Indian
River County. The pending expansion of Wal-mart/Sams will create an additona1250 jobs
and, in addtion, development projects yet to be announced will result in another 300 new
jobs. The Council will continue present programs that will assist existing local companies in _
expansion efforts in order to meet a targeted goal of 50 new jobs annually. Furthermore,
the Council will initiate new programs as well as continue existing initiatives which will
encourage and assist in the location of new companies that build on the traditional eco-
nomic base. The targeted goal of this effort is to create 100 new jobs annually.
Commissioner Eggert clarified that this request has nothing to
do with tourist tax dollars. It has to do with bringing permanent
jobs to the county. If it also brings hotel business, that would
be good for the tourist trade, but this request is not part of the
tourist tax money package.
Charles Lavin, president of the Council of 100, encouraged the
Board to approve the request because the funds are necessary to
fulfill the Council's responsibility under the County's economic
development policy. Mr. Lavin reported that the Council of 100
work with the Florida Department of Commerce to get whatever leads
are available. Leads from the Florida Department of Commerce have
not been significant over the last 12 months. They are going into
a new program and are in transition, and Economic Development
Councils throughout the state have experienced a dropoff in
referrals at this point.
Mr. Lavin advised that the Council of 100 has been invited to
tag along with Piper to trade shows and work out of Piper's booth.
The expense of renting a booth would be eliminated and Council
members could attend the trade shows and promote Indian River

BOOK 89 PkGF123-1
County. The only expenses involved would be food, transportation
and lodging and he felt they should take advantage of that offer.
Mr. Lavin commended the County Commission and staff for their
efforts and cooperation in coordinating with the various agencies
to promote business and industry in Indian River County.
Chairman Bird was aware, and Commissioner Eggert confirmed,
that there is cooperation between the Council of 100 and the Indian
River County Economic Development Council (EDC). Chairman Bird
pointed out that we want to attract business and industry to our
county, but we must have an appealing situation to entice them to
relocate here in terms of site availability and tax activity. He
felt the Council of 100 members have an opportunity to get feedback
from the various business and industry leaders to see what Indian
River County can do and to have a good exchange of ideas.
Commissioner Eggert agreed that we have been working to
welcome business and industry into our community by extending the
sewer and water lines to the interstate highway and by our efforts
to change the method of payment of impact fees and land development
regulations to cut costs and make things better for developers.
Commissioner Eggert mentioned the tax abatement referendum, and
thought that would be a big plus for our county.
Commissioner Macht agreed that we have a unique opportunity to
attract industry and job -producing companies to our area, but he
did not believe the stated plan is the way to do it. He described
it as a shotgun approach when a directed, rifle approach is needed.
There have been allegations in the past that government is the
obstacle in the way of industrialization and is opposed to
attracting light businesses to our community, but he thought those
allegations have been dropped. He thought that the County
Commission and staff have streamlined the process for developers,
for instance, by extending utilities to industrial nodes, and he
felt that we should continue that process. He did not favor the
proposal of going to trade shows and trade missions to attract
responses. He thought that if we were successful and received many
responses, we could not deal with it. He described the Council's
proposal as an archaic marketing plan that went out of style 3 or
4 years ago. He suggested that if we are serious about locating
industries in our county, we should go out to where the utilities
are going and develop a partnership or joint venture industrial
park, because companies must have somewhere to build. Commissioner
Macht thought the proposed plan is a waste of time and taxpayers'
funds, and was opposed to its approval. He is and has been in
favor of sensible business expansion and industrialization because
we need jobs. He anticipated that the proposed plan would dissipate
32
our energy. Commissioner Macht advised that he contacted the State
Department of Commerce and they stand ready to fund the things that
the Council of 100 is planning. That Department produces grants to
print brochures and he was astonished that the Board does not know
that. He advised that John Robbins of the Department of Commerce
agreed to come to Indian River County to discuss the possible ways
of maximizing our efforts.
Commissioner Eggert stated that we are aware of some
Department of Commerce programs, but we have found that there is no
funding to carry out the programs. She further stated that Mr.
Robbins was here relatively recently. She understood Commissioner
Macht's reasoning but cautioned that we cannot take an either-or
stance. We are going forward with expansion of the industrial
park, and industrial park development has been discussed and it
continues to go forward through the County staff, the Council of
100 and the private sector. The Council's proposal is not to
replace that effort; it is in addition to all our other ongoing
projects. Commissioner Eggert stressed that we must make personal
contact with prospects and tell them all the good points about our
county. She was not in favor of dropping one project for another.
Commissioner Macht did not want to drop any project in favor
of another project. He argued that we will not impress anybody
with a $6,000 brochure because a brochure is out of date a month
after it is published. He would vote for funds to send a
delegation from the county to a specific person's premises for a
specific presentation but that presentation must include hard cold
facts such as site location, available utilities, community roads,
an efficient permitting process; that's what they want to know. We
need to deal in a business -like way.
Alan Campbell, director of economic development for the
Council of 100, felt there is a sense of urgency in the county, and
if it were a simple case of "if we build an industrial park, they
will come" scenario, he would not be so frustrated trying to get
400,000 square feet leased out that is available at Piper. An
industrial park is a tool, like a tax abatement program is a tool,
and no single tool is the complete answer. Marketing our community
is no different than marketing any other product. There are many
people who do not know who we are. We begin with the various
networking methods. That means working with realtors, speaking to
various service clubs as well as attending trade shows. It is a
shotgun approach but it is a way to relate Indian River County to
the people at the trade shows and Piper has invited us to use their
booth at several shows. Direct mail is another approach to contact
possible prospects, even though the return is a small percentage.

.3�
Advertising is another method but is very expensive. Mr. Campbell
advised that he has worked through the Department of Commerce and
found that they are not accountable. They have programs without
funding. The number of leads or referrals received from that
Department has declined in the past few years from 53 inquiries in
1987 to 8 in 1990, and more recent statistics are worse, so we
cannot rely on a pot of leads from the Department of Commerce.
Regarding the Canada situation, industrial property in the Toronto
area is $1 million per acre. Canadian companies that want to
expand are looking to streamline their cost effectiveness, so they
are looking to Florida for their expansion plans. Internationally,
Florida is being hammered with bad publicity regarding crime, and
it is crucial that we employ methods to alleviate the problem by
emphasizing quality of life, and that includes the tourist video.
Mr. Campbell emphasized that these are all tools and each is
important.
Commissioner Adams addressed the Department of Commerce and
the lack of leads on companies that want to relocate here. Two
years ago Florida was number one nationally for bringing in
business. Texas recently has skipped up to number one and North
Carolina is equal to Florida. She cautioned against counting on
any one industry, such as the airport -related industry. She did
not want to use contingency funds for the Council of 100ts request
for $31,000. She was concerned that we may need contingency funds
to pay for damage, such as replacement to culverts caused by
storms. She described it as taking $31,000 and gambling it. If we
get one business to relocate, we get our money back, but it is a
gamble. There is criticism that government should be run like a
business, but then the Council of 100 comes in and takes a
government -type approach in requesting contingency funds. She
questioned the urgency of this request and preferred that it be
addressed at budget time.
Mr. Campbell maintained that we do have an emergency and must
initiate a proactive program because unemployment in the tourist
and citrus industry may reach 20 percent this summer. The
requested funds must be made available so that if there is serious
interest, he can get on an airplane to contact that entity and make
a presentation. In addition, he would like to be able to initiate
mailing inquiries to stimulate interest in our county.
Commissioner Adams asked whether he could do what he proposes
for 50 percent of the requested amount.
Mr. Campbell could not answer that difficult question but did
not want to walk away from the meeting with no funds.
34
Commissioner Macht made a motion, which died for lack of a
second, that the Board not act on the request; that we arrange a
joint meeting with the EDC, the Council of 100, the Chamber of
Commerce, the Department of Commerce; that we discuss the
establishment of an industrial park; and that we consider
appropriating a block of funds to be drawn upon on a case by case
basis.
Commissioner Eggert disagreed with the suggestion of
appropriating a certain amount and addressing each individual use
of the funds. She preferred the method used with the tourist tax
money where a contract is created designating how the funds are to
be used. Commissioner Eggert asked about the Department of
Commerce grants for brochures and whether Mr. Campbell has received
any of that money.
Mr. Campbell stated that in the 18 months he has been on the
job he has communicated with the Department of Commerce no less
than once or twice every couple of weeks and has no knowledge of
any available funds. He is not interested in a flamboyant
brochure, just a professionally designed folder or exterior cover
in which he can insert the cards and literature that are requested.
Discussion ensued regarding funding availability from the
Department of Commerce.
J. B. Norton, representative of the Chamber of Commerce of
Vero Beach, related his experiences with the Department of
Commerce. John Robbins, the representative of the Department of
Commerce has been in our area to give us direction in dealing with
the Florida Department of Commerce on their grants and other
programs, but when you get right down to the wire, there is no
money available. Mr. Norton described a letter from the Department
of Commerce in which local governments were asked to contact their
legislators in Tallahassee to vote for funding of a quasi -
governmental and private economic development program to take the
place of the Florida Department of Commerce Division of Economic
Development. It has not been funded, and that has been the problem
all along. The programs are designed but are never funded and
probably will not be funded. If we are to have a program in Indian
River County, we need an industrial park and we must contact
existing businesses in our county, because 80 percent of all new
jobs created in any community comes from existing businesses, but
we must reach outside as well. There is a group working with
existing businesses and industry in this community, but it must be
35
MAR 3 19 3 eooK 89 rnF131

MAR 2 3 19P 900K 89 FvA3Z
a combination of expansion of existing businesses and relocation of
new businesses. They are pleased with the two main industries,
citrus and tourism, and will continue to work diligently with them.
They are looking forward to new jobs with WalMart and while they
will not be high -paying jobs, new money will be brought into our
economy. All this is part of economic development. The
cooperation between this Commission, Economic Development Council,
the Council of 100, the Chamber of Commerce, and the business
community is at the highest point it has been in many years. To go
forward with a program they need funding, support, and cooperation;
they have everything but the funding.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht, to allocate $16,000 to the
Council of 100 and let it come into the regular
budget process for the coming year.
Under discussion, Chairman Bird agreed with the arguments but
he relied on people like Alan Campbell and J. B. Norton, who are
trying to attract businesses _to our county. He has faith and trust
in the members in the Council of 100 who are dedicated sincere
people who do not spend money frivolously. He would prefer to
approve an amount closer to the amount requested because we have
talked about it and now we should put the money behind our efforts.
He thought the shotgun method is very legitimate and is a
successful way to uncover prospects.
Commissioner Tippin recalled that 2 years ago any talk about
economic development was frowned upon. Because of the economy, the
attitude has changed. He was impressed with the cooperation that
has evolved between the business community and government and would
support a motion more in line with the requested amount.
Commissioner Adams clarified that her motion was for $16,000
to be used for the trade mission to Canada, the general sales
mission and brochure covers. It does not cover the suitcase trade
shows, economic development workshop, secretary's salary, postage,
advertising, video reproduction and visitation program.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and failed (2-3), Commissioners
Bird, Eggert and Tippin voting in opposition.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, to appropriate $31,175 to the
Council of 100.
36
Under discussion, Commissioner Adams asked if there were any
stipulations requiring that the funds come through the regular
budget process.
Commissioner Eggert thought the procedure should be like the
Tourist Development funds where a contract is created designating
how the funds are to be used, and the funding will be from the
contingency fund.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried 3-2, Commissioners Adams
and Macht voting in opposition.
The Chairman recessed the meeting briefly at 10:13 a.m. and
the Board reconvened at 10:22 a.m. with all members present.

BOOK 89 pmF 134
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of March 23, 1993.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
e Summary
In the past few years, building activity has declined both
nationally and locally. Beginning in FY90-91, this reduction
affected the number of building permits issued by the County as
well as the value of construction reflected by permits issued.
Consequently, building division revenue has decreased in the past
few years.
County staff has been aware of this problem since it first
developed, and staff has kept the Board of County Commissioners
abreast of it. Unlike past downturns in building activity,
however, the current cycle has not established a rebound in
activity. Instead, building activity levels have remained low.
In response to this situation, staff has taken a conservative
approach. Rather than immediately raising fees to compensate for
the building permit revenue shortfall, staff cut expenditures.
Besides eliminating 5 positions in the building division, staff
eliminated capital costs and cut non-essential operating expenses.
Even with these actions, however, the problem has not been
resolved.
After careful consideration and detailed analysis of existing
conditions and future projections, staff determined that a critical
decision point had arrived. Because the building division's
reserves were being exhausted, staff decided that action was
necessary. Realizing that whatever action was taken the principal
purpose of the building division was to serve the construction
industry, staff coordinated with the Treasure Coast Builders
Association (TCBA) and the Associated General Contractors (AGC) to
reanalyze the data, identify alternatives, and develop a proposed
solution.
As a result of that coordinated effort, staff, TCBA, and AGC
recommend that the Board of County Commissioners take several
actions to increase building division revenue and reduce building
division costs. These activities involve establishing a competency
card annual renewal fee, raising fees for miscellaneous and sub -
permits, increasing building division automation, and cross
certifying building inspectors. Because these actions will not
completely resolve the problem, it is also recommended that the
financial situation be monitored closely and the need to raise
general building permit fees be evaluated in Fall, 1993.
38
• Background
From a peak of $815,719 in FY &8-89, building division operating
revenues dropped to $471,932 in FY91-92. That represents a 42.2%
decrease in annual revenue between those two fiscal years. While
revenues have fallen significantly over the past three years, the
workload has not decreased as much. Measured by number of permits
issued and number of inspections conducted, the building division's
work load decreased from 39,819 in FY 88-89 to 31,770 in FY 91-92.
That represents a 20.2% decrease.
Since the building division functions as an enterprise account, the
continual loss of revenue has made a significant difference.
Because of this revenue reduction, the building division's expenses
have exceeded its revenues for the past three fiscal years. In
1990-1991, there was a $278,000 shortfall, while in 1991-1992 there
was a $395,502 shortfall, and in 1992-1993 the deficit is currently
projected to be $301,311.
Because the building division had accumulated a reserve of over
$1,100,000 by the end of FY 1989-1990, there was sufficient money
to continue operations even with an annual shortfall. In fact, the
purpose of having the reserve was to compensate for the cyclical
nature of the construction industry.
Although the enterprise account reserve compensated for the revenue
shortfall when construction activity declined in FY90-91, staff
realized that the reserve could not make up the revenue deficit
indefinitely. For that reason, staff started monitoring building
division revenue and expenditures closely. Not only did staff
continually assess construction activity, but staff also projected
revenues and cash position on a regular basis.
While it initially appeared that the construction slowdown would be
temporary, it soon became apparent that a recovery would not occur
quickly. Consequently, staff determined that expenditures would
need to be reduced to lessen the deficit. Staff did take a number
of actions to cut costs, and these did reduce the difference
between monthly expenditures and monthly revenues.
• Cost Reduction
Since late in calendar year 1990, building division costs have been
reduced substantially. This has involved reducing capital
expenditures, cutting operating costs, and eliminating staff
positions. Even with these actions, however, costs still exceed
revenues by a significant amount each month.
The most significant of the cost reductions has been a staff cut
of 5 positions. Since 1990, building division staff positions have
been reduced from 21 to 16. This reduction was accomplished by
eliminating an unfilled inspector position, eliminating a vacant
clerk position, and then eliminating three other positions -- a
plans examiner, an inspector, and a clerk. While the first
position was eliminated in FY 90-91, the other four were cut in FY
91-92. A copy of the memo sent to the Board of County
Commissioners regarding the last three position cuts is attached to
this memo.
Besides eliminating positions, staff also cut costs by eliminating
capital expenditures. This has involved cutting programmed
computer expenses as well as cutting approved vehicle replacement
costs. No capital expenses are included within the 1992-1993
budget. In addition, staff has reduced operating costs by reducing
travel expenses, supply costs, and other operating costs as much as
possible. --

• Current Problem
Even with the actions taken to date, the building division's
expenditures still exceed revenues on a monthly basis. This,
however, was not entirely unexpected. Attached to this item are
excerpts from the county administrator's FY 91-92 and FY 92-93
budget messages. As indicated in those statements, county staff
anticipated that a funding shortfall might continue into FY 1992-
1993.
At present, building division revenues total approximately $43,000
a month. Expenditures vary by month depending upon a number of
factors ( including number of pay periods and when certain costs are
charged) but can be estimated at $69,500. As is evident from those
figures, there is still a problem with revenues not being
sufficient to cover expenditures.
While reducing expenses is essential and has been done, it has also
been necessary to ensure that the building division adequately
perform its functions. These functions involve accepting permit
applications, processing the applications, reviewing plans, issuing
permits, inspecting construction, and licensing contractors. In
cutting costs, staff must make sure that these activities are not
only done well, but done in a timely manner. Otherwise, the
construction industry, itself, could be adversely affected.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
For the past several months, staff has met on a regular basis to
assess the building division's financial situation and develop
alternatives to resolve the problem. Consisting of County
Administrator Jim Chandler, Budget Director Joe Baird, Community
Development Director Bob Keating, and Building Division Director
Ester Rymer, this staff group analyzed the problem, reviewed cash
flow projections, and developed several alternatives to resolve the
operating shortfall.
Initially, staff focussed on the expenditure side of the building
division operation. Because of the substantial cuts already made
in the building division's budget, including the staff reductions,
capital cost elimination and operating cost reductions, staff was
concerned that further cuts would adversely affect the building
division's service. For that reason, staff felt it necessary to
consider the revenue side of the building division's operation,
including revenue collected and service provided by function.
In assessing the building division's revenue situation, staff made
several findings. First, staff determined that Indian River County
was one of the few jurisdictions which did not support its building
division contractor licensing operation through a required annual
competency card renewal program with a required annual fee.
Second, staff found that the building division's fee structure was
lower than the fee structure of most other jurisdictions in the
Treasure Coast area. While the building permit fees are lower here
than in other jurisdictions, the major difference was in
miscellaneous (fence, sign, etc) and sub -permit (electrical,
plumbing, etc) fees. Finally, staff found that the building
division performs various functions for which fees are not charged.
These include minimum housing code enforcement and hazardous
building inspection and enforcement.
As part of its analysis, staff estimated the cost of providing
service for each of its functions and compared that cost to the
revenue received for the service. The staff also compared fees
charged by Indian River County to fees charged by other
Jurisdictions. Based upon its analysis, staff determined that the
major variance occurred with respect to miscellaneous and sub -
permits. Many of these permit fees, some as low as $4.00, were
much less than the cost of providing the service, which includes
40
� � r
not only processing the permit but usually an on-site inspection.
Therefore, staff • determined that, at the least, fees for
miscellaneods and sub -permits need to be increased to cover the
costs of those permits.
Alternatives
Besides the miscellaneous/sub-permit fee increase, staff developed
several other alternatives to address the building division's
budget problems. The principal alternatives developed by staff
were:
• Raise Miscellaneous and Sub -permit Fees & Initiate Competency
Card Renewal Fee
• Raise Building Permit Fees & Miscellaneous and Sub -Permit Fees
& Initiate Competency Card Renewal Fee
• Initiate Competency Card Renewal Fee.& Cut Staff Positions
• Change Building Division from Enterprise Account to General
Fund
• Do Nothing
Each of these alternatives is discussed and analyzed below. More
detailed information is included in the attached alternatives
analysis.
• Fee Increase For Miscellaneous & Sub -Permits
As indicated above, staff determined that the fees currently
charged for miscellaneous and sub -permits are less than the cost of
providing the service associated with those permits. Based upon
staff analysis, it has been determined that the activity costs
associated with permits (accepting, processing, reviewing,
inspecting) are a minimum of $30. At present, many miscellaneous
and sub -permit fees are substantially less.
In FY 91-92, the building division issued 8,271 miscellaneous and
sub -permits. This produced $135,729 in revenue.
This alternative involves increasing the miscellaneous and sub -
permit fees as indicated in the attached proposed miscellaneous and
sub -permit fee schedule. While this proposal would raise
miscellaneous and sub -permit fees generally, it would also set a
minimum fee level. Besides the fee increase, this alternative
would also require .an annual competency card renewal with an
associated renewal fee.
As proposed, this alternative would address the problem of fee
amounts not covering expenses for miscellaneous and sub -permits.
Even with the anticipated revenue increase associated with this
alternative, however, the building division's revenue would be
insufficient to cover expenditures. According to staff
projections, implementing this alternative would reduce the
building division's operating deficit by approximately $18,000 per
month. Even so, the building division's surplus would be expended
by the end of FY 94-95, if conditions remain the same.
• Fee Increases For Building Permits & Miscellaneous & Sub -
Permits
This alternative includes the fee increases and competency card
renewal fees reflected in the first alternative. In addition, this
option involves raising general building permit fees.
41
MAR 2 3 1993 BOOK 89 F,a,E 137
BOOK 89 Farr x:38 -7
Currently, the building division assesses building permit fees
based upon the value of construction. These fees increase as the
value of construction increases. A plan exam fee, consisting of 50
percent of the permit fee, is- also charged. The current fee
amounts are shown in the attached fee schedule.
In analyzing fees charged by other jurisdictions, staff found that
fees varied among local governments in the area. One fee schedule,
however, seems to be gaining popularity among jurisdictions. That
is the standard fee schedule developed by the Southern Building
Code Congress (SBCCI).
Staff analyzed the effect of adopting the SBCCI schedule.
According to projections, building permit revenue would increase by
$261,140 per year based upon FY 91-92 permit volume, if the SBCCI
fee schedule were adopted. Together with the miscellaneous/sub-
permit and competency card revenue, building division revenue would
be $971,081 annually, assuming FY 91-92 permit volume.
If approved, this alternative would provide the building division
with sufficient revenue to cover expenses. The cost of this
alternative to builders, however, would be substantial. For a
house with an estimated value of $72,536, the permitting cost with
this alternative would be $736.65, compared to $386.15 at present.
One variation of this alternative is to raise fees as indicated
above, but offer a "package plan" for single-family residential.
Such a package plan would incorporate the sub -permits with the
overall building permit for a single-family house. There would be
no separate charge for sub -permits with this option. For a single-
family house having a value of $72,536, the package plan permitting
cost would be $528.00.
• Competency Card Renewal Fee & Staff Cut
This alternative involves implementing the annual competency card
renewal fee requirement also proposed in the other options. Unlike
the other alternatives, however, this option would not involve fee
increases; instead, it would involve staff cuts.
Since the competency card renewal fee would increase revenues only
by about $45,000 per year, there would still be a substantial
deficit. Making up that shortfall by cutting staff would require
that six or seven of the sixteen positions in the building division
be eliminated. Such an action would make it impossible for the
building division to fulfill its mission. With staff cuts of that
magnitude, plan review would not be timely, and inspections would
not be adequate.
• Convert Building Division to General Fund Status
This alternative consists of changing the building division's
funding source. As an enterprise account, the building division
not only must operate on the revenues that it receives, but it also
must pay rent and pay G & A charges. Generally, the building
industry has supported the enterprise account structure for the
building division. One reason for the industry's support of the
enterprise account was that the building division over time
accumulated a substantial reserve. With an enterprise fund In
place, builders could be certain that their fees were not being
used to subsidize other government functions. In fact, builder
groups statewide have taken legal action to force local governments
to segregate building permit revenues.
42
Now with the reserves almost depleted and the building division
running an annual deficit, the enterprise fund format works a
disadvantage to the building division. One reason to consider
converting the building division to a general fund agency is that
building does perform some general government functions. These
include hazardous structure and minimum housing code implementation
activities as well as other functions.
More important, however, is the fact that, even if the building
division were switched from enterprise account to the general fund,
the problem of expenses exceeding revenues would not go away.
Instead, any revenue shortfall would be paid by taxpayers rather
than the users of the service. Whether building is in the general
fund or is an enterprise account, the focus will be on the bottom
line, with the objective being to get the building division to
operate in the black.
• Do Nothing
In this case, do nothing is not a viable alternative. With no
action, the building division's reserves will be depleted in early
FY 93-94, and there will be no funds to continue operations.
ASSESSMENT
While staff was still developing and analyzing alternatives,
several builders contacted the county administrator with concerns
regarding the building division's budgetary situation. The
administrator responded by inviting the builders' representatives
to meet with staff to consider alternatives to address the building
division's funding issues.
In a series of meetings over several weeks, representatives from
the Treasure Coast Builders Association (TCBA) and the Associated
General Contractors (AGC) met with staff, reviewed the background
data and projections, discussed the issues, evaluated alternatives,
and developed a proposal. Basically, the TCBA and AGC agreed with
staff's assessment of the problem and staff's position that some
action was needed. While the builders also generally agreed with
staff's identification of alternatives, the builders did suggest
variations to some of the alternatives and recommended additional
actions to be undertaken.
In assessing the alternatives, there were three major concerns.
One was to avoid major fee increases that would adversely affect
builders, especially builders of moderate cost residences. Another
concern was to maintain the building division's level of service in
terms of both timing and quality of work. The final concern was to
solve the building division funding problem. With these concerns
in mind, the group agreed that two actions were warranted. These
would involve instituting a competency card annual renewal fee and
increasing fees for miscellaneous and sub -permits. The group felt
that the building division does not get sufficient revenue to cover
its costs for those activities.
Along with the two actions proposed, the builders recommended that
staff institute several actions which could reduce expenses over
time. These involve increasing automation (institute voice
actuated inspection system), cross certifying inspectors, and
having inspectors do multiple inspections.
43
MAR 2 3 199
BOOK 89 PnF 140
Recognizing that the competency card annual fee and the
miscellaneous/sub-permit fee increase will produce sufficient
revenue to sustain the building division only through FY 93-94 and
recognizing that the other actions may not reduce expenditures in
the short term, the group agreed that the building division
financial performance should be monitored for several months and,
if the economy and the revenue stream have not improved, then the
group should reconvene and consider the SBCCI fee schedule option
with a single-family package plan. After discussion, all members
of the group agreed to forward this recommendation to the Board of
County Commissioners. To indicate their support, the TCBA and AGC
prepared letters of support for this proposal; copies of those
letters are attached.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board -of County Commissioners:
• Approve the attached resolution to be effective May 1, 1993,
establishing an annual competency card renewal fee and
increasing miscellaneous and sub -permit fees; and
• Direct staff to initiate building inspector cross
certification and combination inspections; and
• Direct staff to consider additional building division
automation, including voice actuated inspections; and
• Direct staff to monitor building division finances and to meet
with TCBA and AGC representatives in early Fall, 1993, to
determine whether or not to recommend that the Board establish
the SBCCI fee schedule with a single-family residential
package plan.
County Administrator Jim Chandler further explained that staff
is asking for the adjustments to become effective in May because if
we do not make adjustments now, we will end the -year with a reserve
of $164,000, and by next March we will have expended our reserves.
We do not want to give the false impression that this will
necessarily solve this difficult situation. Even with the adoption
of the increase, we will must reconsider the situation next fall.
We hope something favorable will occur that we cannot foresee, but
we cannot wait until next budget year.
Commissioner Adams commended staff on their thoroughness in
compiling the backup information and in their team approach of
including representatives of the building industry in the
discussions.
44
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution 93-71, establishing an annual competency
card renewal fee and increasing miscellaneous and
sub -permit fees, and directed staff to: initiate
building inspector cross -certification and
combination inspections; consider additional
building division automation, including voice
actuated inspections; and monitor building division
finances, and meet with TCBA and AGC representatives
in early Fall 1993 to determine whether or not to
recommend that the Board establish the SBCCI fee
schedule with a single-family residential package
plan, as recommended by staff.
Steve Hall from Associated General Contractors thanked the
Board and staff for including representatives of the building
industry in the discussions regarding fees. He felt that some of
the recommendations regarding automation and cross -certification
are vague at this point and he would like an opportunity to discuss
those items further with staff.

Chairman Bird requested that Item 11.D., the After -School
Program, be taken out of order and addressed at this time.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien made the following
presentation:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney ,t
James E. Chandler, County Administrat1�06
FROM: Pat Callahan, Director of Recreatio
Joe Baird, Director of Budget ��
Terrence P. O'Brien, Asst. County A ty.
DATE: March 11, 1993
RE: AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
The Board of County Commissioners authorized the institution of an
after school program to be administered on a self-sustaining basis by
the City/County recreation department utilizing teachers and other
Indian River County School Board employees. The teachers and aids
were hired as independent contractors and paid on an hourly wage with
no benefits. Their earnings were reported on Federal Income Tax form
1099.
A recent review of the program by the office of the County Attorney
lead to the legal conclusion that the teachers and aides were not
independent contractors but were in fact employees. Having reached
this conclusion a complete review of the program was conducted. The
results of that review have established several problem areas which
must be considered in determining if the program should be revised,
transferred, or abolished. The current program as presently
constituted cannot be legally sustained with that as a basic premise the
alternatives will be examined.
I. Revision
The teachers and aides would become employees of Indian
River County. Under this status, certain new rights and
obligations are created. Income tax must be withheld. Social
Security and medicare contributions by the employee and employer
are required. Florida State Retirement contributions must be made
by the County and other employee rights as set forth in the
personnel manual with attach. These rights and obligations
translate into additional operational costs which must be passed on
to the students. The current weekly costs to a full pay student
is $10.00. It is estimated that the minimum increase necessary to
cover the new costs will be $5.00 for a weekly total of $15.00. In
addition, it will be necessary to establish mandatory regulations
concerning the operation of the program. Currently, they are
merely guidelines which result in inefficiency and disparate
treatment at the various schools particularly with respect to the
waiver of fees. A school by school financial analysis is attached
for consideration.
61
MAR 2 3 1993 BOOK 89 rmu'E 1.5i
MAR 23 1993
BOOK 89 FAGE 158 -7
The program is currently not required to be licensed by the
state because it employs only employees of the School Board.
However, our review has shown that one after school program
employee who was a former school board employee is not now a
school board employee. Further, from time to time recreation
department employees fill in for sick or absent teachers or aides.
Both of these situations must be corrected or the County will be
operating illegally; therefore, the non -school board employee
should be terminated immediately and the recreation department
instructed not to actively participate in the after school program.
The program "right -stuff" while not a -part of the after
school program is of such a similar nature that it should be
treated the same. The "right stuff" program began on a very
short and limited grant which has long since disappeared. "Right
stuff" in our view is not and cannot be made self- sustaining.
II. Transfer
a. School Board
The program can be operated more efficiently and
effectively by the School Board. Dr. Norris shares this
view. The state legislators apparently share this view. Most
counties in Florida share this view. Section 402.3025, F.S. ,
contemplates that these "after school programs" are public
school and non-public school functions. In fact if you don't
use employees of the school board you are required to be
licensed by the state. In the majority of the counties in
Florida that have such programs they are in fact run by the
school board.
b. Private Day Care Centers
The Children's Services Advisory Committee in
conjunction with staff has explored this option. A RFP would
allow private -day care operators, or a consortium of said
operators, and opportunity to provide this service at no cost
to the public. A proposed RFP is attached.
If the Board agrees, the attached RFP will be put out
for proposals.
III. Abolish
This course of action if adopted should be effective at the end
of the current school year.
Alternatives
#1 If the proposals from private day care operators reflect a viable
program, then the program could be run by private operators.
#2 The school board could run the program as a self-sustaining
operation.
#3 The program could run as a state licensed operation under the
recreation department using non -school board employees at greatly
reduced wages so that the program could possibly be self
sustaining at its present cost.
#4 The program could be run with school board employees and the
above discussed revisions including increased fees.
Recommendation
Alternative #1 or #2.

Dear Jim:
I am in receipt of the March 11 Inner Office Memorandum regarding the after
school program. On March 15 you called and asked for a statement regarding
Item IIa of that memorandum.
While I am in agreement, as I stated in our February 26 meeting, that we
would be naturally able to operate the program more effectively because the
sites are ours and the employees are ours, I made it clear that we do not have
the funds to do so.
We are currently attempting to reduce our operating budget another 1.6
million dollars after two previous years of cuts from the state totaling 3+
million dollars.
Our board has had a long standing philosophy that our dollars should be spent
educating children, while the community helps with the other pieces. This
will maximize our return on investment, and will produce a better educated
community.
I respectfully. request that the Commission delay a decision for 90 days until
the Children's Services Committee, chaired by Commissioner Macht, has an
opportunity to present a new forward thinking plan to the board dealing with
this and other children's issues.
We have realized in Indian River County that, 'It takes a community to raise a
child." We feel parents, educators, government, and private sector working in
harmony will produce an environment that will allow Indian River County to
thrive and prosper in the economic development arena.
Please bear with us as we work together to solve the community's dilemma of
trying to solve the after school problem. This will allow our working mothers
and fathers .with young children to be free from the restriction of after school
care. Most assuredly, we want the Board of County Commissions to work with
. Norris

BOOK 89 PAGE:160 -1
Chairman Bird thought that the Commission would be in favor of
the School Board taking over the program. While we could hire
people for this program, we are not licensed. The School Board
could run the program most efficiently.
County Administrator Jim Chandler stated that staff is working
with Dr. Norris to devise a plan for next year, because everyone
agrees that we need an after-school program. We will continue the
current program with no changes through the end of the school year.
In June we will have more facts, along with the responses to the
RFPs from day care centers and Dr. Norris' recommendations, and at
that time we will address the program for next year.
Commissioner Eggert asked, and Administrator Chandler
confirmed that we are encouraging the School Board to take it over
next year, even with privately -owned day care involvement.
OMB Director Joe Baird emphasized that the projections for the
next two months are based on an efficiently run system, and the
loss of as few as 20 percent of the paying students would make a
difference and could bring the cost to $15.00 per student per week.
Commissioner Macht stressed that we are addressing this issue
because it takes a community to raise a child. The schools are
having a tough time living up to their mandate to educate children
and cannot get heavily involved fiscally in an after school program
which is really a community problem. The community must bear the
ultimate responsibility. The school is the logical and economical
place and way to conduct an after school program because they have
the facilities and the trained personnel, but we must take the
responsibility to see that the program exists and is funded
properly.
Dr. Gary W. Norris, superintendent of the School District of
Indian River County, agreed and added that the problems are
indicative of our society. Teachers have taken on the burden of
after school care because they love children and know that we need
to strengthen our families, but they are admitting that they have
gotten in too deep. He commended staff and the Commissioners for
their efforts. He agreed that June will be the pivotal month when
the recommendations of all interested parties will be discussed and
a decision will be made for next year's program.
Bill Roolage, 11 Vista Garden Trail, agreed with Commissioner
Macht and Superintendent Norris. He pointed out that our education
system is important to the economic _growth of our community,
because businessmen with families will move to an area where their
children will receive a good education. The educators must
modernize their system. He urged the Commissioners to help them
64 _
- M
because it will help the business climate of this community and
attract business.
Commissioner Eggert assured Mr. Koolage that the Board has
recognized the important relationship between a good school system
and economic growth in a community.
Chairman Bird thought we have enjoyed an excellent
relationship between the Board of County Commissioners and the
School Board and both staffs and was confident that the cooperation
will continue.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously directed
staff to convert the after-school teachers from
contractual status to county employee status, to
continue the program through the end of the school
year with no increase in fees, and authorized staff
to release the Request for Proposals from day-care
centers, as recommended by staff.
APPROVAL TO UPDATE E911 CENTER ANI/ANL SYSTEM EQUIPMENT
The Board reviewed memo from Emergency Services Director Doug
Wright dated March 13, 1993:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Jim Chandl r, County Administrator
FROM: Doug Wright, Director
Emergency Services
DATE: March 13, 1993
SUBJECT: Approval to Update E911 Center ANI/ALI System
Equipment
It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be
given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
the next regular scheduled meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Indian River County leases the E911 Automatic Number Identification
and the Automatic Location Identification equipment. This equipment
captures all 911 phone calls and displays the caller's phone number
and location of the call. The current equipment was installed in
1986 and needs to be replaced with newer technology which will
enhance the dispatchers ability to process more calls in a shorter
time frame.

MAR 2 3 1993 BOOK 89 c„(Ic6.
i
MAR 23 im
BOOK 89 FArF162 -1
Indian River County currently pays Southern Bell $4,630 a month for
the leased ANI/ALI equipment which includes the controller, control
module, and display module. To provide all the consoles at the
primary PSAP with the new equipment, the increase would be a total of
$70 per month which amounts to an annual increase of $840. There
would.also be a one time cost for installation of $5,000: Southern
Bell maintains the equipment and no maintenance cost is incurred by
the County.
Funds are available in the E911 surcharge account to pay the one time
and annual increase in cost for this very necessary equipment.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS:
This unique system provides several features which are not available
with existing equipment. Each module can operate independently,
performs continuous self test, reports and corrects fault conditions,
provides for redundancy, utilization of a single screen for ANI/ALI
information, feedback keys, allows for programmable transfers, and
permits capture of abandoned caller information without having to
verify certain information with the phone company before an officer
can be dispatched which reduces response time.
RECOMMMATION:
Staff recommends the Board approve the additional funds required for
Southern Bell to install the new ANI/ALI equipment at a cost of
$5,000 for the one time charge to install the equipment and the
increased cost of $70 per month for the leased emergency E911 system.
Staff also recommends the Board authorize and approve the necessary
budget amendment to appropriate the funds for this equipment from the
E911 surcharge account.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved
$5,000 to install the new ANI/ALI equipment and an
increase of $70 per month for the leased emergency
E911 system, as recommended by staff.

TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners
DATE: March 17, 1993
SUBJECT: ARBITRAGE REBATE CALCULATIONS
FROM: Joseph A. Baird
OMB Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Indian River County has received an estimated fee from Coopers & Lybrand to prepare
arbitrage rebate calculations at a cost of $2,500 per bond issue for the period ending
September 30, 1992 and no more than $2,200 per issue for the periods ending September
1993 and September 1994. Based on the estimated arbitrage rebate calculations, the
following bond issues listed below will cost $4,700 each:
$3,655,000
1987 Capital Improvement Revenue Bond
$8,240,000
1988 S.W.D.D. System Revenue Bond
$6,510,000
1989 Water and Sewer Revenue Refunding Bond
$5,900,000
1989 General Obligation Bond
$ 720,000
1990 Special Assessment Bonds
$6,075,000
1989 Special Assessment Bonds
Rebate calculations for the two bonds below will cost only $2,200:
$9,205,000 1991 Water and Sewer Revenue Bond
$6,015,000 1992 Recreation Revenue Bond
Staff had estimated the cost to be $4,500 per bond issue. There are not many, if any,
options since we cannot do this internally because of the high cost to purchase a computer
program and the specialized knowledge that is required.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Chairman to sign
the acknowledgment letter from Coopers & Lybrand at a total cost of $32,600 to prepare
the Arbitrage Rate Calculations.

REQUESTS FOR COUNTY GRADING OF UNPAVED ROADS

TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator"
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.
Public Works Directo w�
SUBJECT: Requests for County Grading of Unpaved Roads
DATE: March 16, 1993 FILE:
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Requests have been transmitted to the County Public Works
Department for the County to initiate grading of the following
unpaved dedicated right-of-ways:
1) Tropical Avenue (47th Ave) south of 84th St -
Length - 0.1 mile
Requester - Mr. & Mrs. Charles Wintermute
2) 98th Avenue between 87th Street and 89th Street -
Length .25 mile
Requester - Mr. Bowling
3) 21st St. East of 53rd Avenue -
Length .03 mile (150 feet) -
Requester— Mr. Albert Wallis
4) 79th Street - 102nd Avenue to 104th Court -
Length .4 miles
Requester - Mr. & Mrs. Kapp
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The above road right-of-ways were evaluated using the County's
acceptance criteria procedure and the following scores were
assigned to each road:
72
Tropical Ave.(47th Ave)
98th Ave.
21st St.
79th St.
Score
70
98
85
75
In the past -years since 1981, the County staff has applied a
minimum acceptance warrant of 100 points in recommending acceptance
of ungraded roads. Last year, however, staff recommended and Board
concurred to relax the minimum warrant to 70 points in the Vero
Lake Estates area due to the existence of one grader that
exclusively serves the 70 miles of roads in this 3,000 acre
subdivision of over 9,000 lots. Two of the above roads (98th
Avenue and 79th St) are within Vero Lakes Estates area. The other
two roads, Tropical Avenue and 21st Street, are located directly on
other grader routes affected. The net affect is to reduce the
minimum warrant score to 70 points county -wide. The evaluation
technique should result in a well managed program, even with the
minimum warrant score of 70 points being adopted
The following alternatives are presented:
Alternative No. 1
Accept all four roads for grading and relax the minimum
warrant to 70 points.
Alternative No. 2
Only accept grading 98th Auenue and 79th Street in Vero Lake
Estates and do not approve grading of 21st Street and Tropical
Avenue because their evaluation did not satisfy a minimum
warrant score of 100 points.
Alternative No. 3
Not approve grading of any of the roads.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 whereby all four roads are
accepted for grading and the minimum acceptance warrant threshold
be reduced to 70 points.
No direct cost funding is applicable.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved
Alternative No. 1 to accept all four roads for
grading and relax the minimum warrant to 70 points.

On December 22, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners accepted and

utilizing the West Regional site for an effluent disposal system
(see attachment). The study was concluded and selected as the
recommended method of effluent disposal for the West Regional area
was an artificial wetland with effluent -overflow to the County canal
system. Also, the Board of County Commissioners gave permission for
the Department of Utility Services to negotiate with Masteller and
Moler, Inc., for design, permitting, professional engineering
services during bidding, and project administration during
construction.
ANALYSIS
The negotiations with Masteller and Moler, Inc., for professional
services mentioned above and as described in the Scope of Work of

The estimated construction cost is $1,150,000.00. Because of the
uniqueness of the project, there are no guidelines to follow in
setting the consultant's fee. The amount is determined by the
estimated time to perform the scope of services. Funding for the
design, permitting, and other professional services for this project
shall be from the sewer impact fee fund.
The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners approve Work Authorization No. 2 and authorize
the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to execute Work
Authorization No. 2. If the Board does not approve the work
authorization, the staff recommend proceeding to the No. 2 firm,
J. M. Montgomery Engineering Company, for negotiations.
