April 16,1993 992317 . 'w - a 807 Considerable discussion ensued regarding the definition of the word "ex officio" and it was determined that although the common perception is that ex officio means "non-voting," the legal definition of the term is "by the power of the office alone" and applies to both voting and non-voting members of committees. Commissioner Macht emphasized that the purpose of the proposed ordinance is to allow ex officio members of various committees to send alternates when they are unable to attend meetings. The alternates would have the same voting authority as the ex officio members. He felt that it was important to make certain the County and municipalities are adequately represented. After further discussion, the Board decided to remove some wording in the ordinance stating that the alternates "shall represent ... the consensus views of the governing body of that municipality" because it is not enforceable. Chairman Bird led discussion about changing the wording of the ordinance to permit representatives of organizations as well as government entities to send alternates to meetings. 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. Because there were a number of changes in the wording of the ordinance, Attorney Vitunac suggested continuing the public hearing until next week, and staff can bring the new wording back to the Board for approval at that time. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously continued the public hearing until 9:05 A.M. on May 11, 1993 and directed staff to present the amended ordinance to the Board for approval at that time.

CONTRACT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD CITY OF VERO BEACH REQUEST FOR FUNDS - 10TH AVENUE WIDENING PROJECT Public Works Director Jim Davis presented the following memo dated April 26, 1993: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director IVY SUBJECT: City of Vero Beach.- 10th Avenue Widening - Request for Traffic Impact Fees - Dist. 5 REF. LETTER: Dale A. Bathon, Asst. City Engineer, to Jim Davis dated April 19, 1993 DATE: April 26, 1993 DESCRIPTION'AND CONDITIONS The City of Vero Beach Engineering Department has received bids for three lane widening of 10th Avenue between 17th Street and US 1. The programmed improvement will result in added capacity to a City Collector Road. The City budgeted $330,000 for the construction, however, the contract amount is $399,856.39. To fund the approximate $70,000 shortfall, the City is requesting a $100,000 allocation from the District 5 Traffic Impact Fee Fund (Balance as of 3-31-93 is $500,907). ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The projects to be funded with District 5 Traffic Impact Fees in the next 18 months include the following: Estimated Cost Old Dixie Highway Widening 17th St to 12th St Widen to three lanes 1996 $350,000 � � r 43rd Ave Widening 26th St to 12th St. 1996 $500,000 Widen Main Relief Canal to 5 lanes - widen portions of road to 3 lanes Subtotal $ 850,000 10th Ave. Widening 100,000 TOTAL $ 950,000 District 5 - Current Balance $500,907.99 Projected Revenue by 9-94 440,100.00 (based on past four year average) $941,007.99 RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Based on the past four years average yearly revenue, it appears that planned improvements can proceed if the District 5 funds are approved for 10th Avenue. Staff recommends, however, that $70,000 be allocated at this time to cover the existing shortfall of $69,856.39, and if additional funds are needed for unforeseen costs, staff will evaluate a future request for funding. Funding to be from Dist. 5 Traffic Impact Fee Fund 101-155 in the amount of $70,000. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized the allocation of $70,000 from the District 5 Traffic Impact fee Fund, as set forth in stafffs recommendation. RIGHT-OF-WAY PURCHASE - 45TH STREET - KENNEDY GROVES PARCELS The Board reviewed the following memo dated April 28, 1993: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director and Terry B. Thompson, Pff-11� Capital Projects Manager FROM:-Dkb�onald G. Finney, SRA County Right of Way Agent SUBJECT: Purchase Authorization; 45th Street Right -of -Way Acquisition, Kennedy two parcels, Indian River Boulevard, Phase IV DATE: April 28, 1993 Indian River County is planning to widen and pave 45th Street east of U.S. Highway #1 to Indian River Boulevard, Phase 4. The two parcels are the largest parcels to be purchased and there remains one last parcel to acquire. 21 MAY 4 1993 ` BOOK 8G11 4 AAE 439 pp MAY 4 1993 BOOK O9 FAGF 440 Mr. Kennedy has executed the contract and agreed to sell one parcel at the appraised value. He has executed the other contract and agreed to sell at 11% above the appraised value. The appraised value for the RM -6 zoned, .29 acre right-of-way property is $20,300 and the appraised value of the RM -6, 1.55 acre parcel is $69,750. There are no attorney's fees or Realtor fee. Staff requests the Board accept the $20,300 contract and $77,500 contract and direct the chairman to execute the contracts on the Board's behalf. Public Works Director Jim Davis commented that the seller originally wanted a lot more money for the parcels. Staff was able to negotiate the purchase of the 1.29—acre parcel at the appraised value. However, the seller is adamant that the 1.55—acre parcel is worth $77,500.00. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized purchase of right—of—way from Kennedy Groves in the amount of $20,300.00 for the 1.29—acre parcel and $77,500.00 for the 1.55—acre parcel, as recommended by staff. PAVING OF 14TH STREET BETWEEN U.S.1 AND 7TH AVENUE Public Works Director Jim Davis presented the following memo dated April 12, 1993: TO: James Chandler County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. Public Works Director 7 *W7 FROM: Roger D. Cain, P.E. ' County Engineer SUBJECT: loth Street Paving US 1 to 7th Avenue DATE: April 12, 1993 The County Attorney's office recently concluded the purchase of 25 feet of additional right of way along the north of the Southgate Mobile Home Paris south of 14th St. This right of way to the Council on Aging and to the various businesses along this drive such as the furniture store on the south, and the printing shop on the north is in very poor condition and drainage is poor to non - existent. The Dependable Dodge auto dealership north of 14th St. entered into an agreement to improve the intersection with US 1 for an offset to a portion of their share of future paving assessments. Also, it was agreed as a condition of purchase that Southgate Mobile Home Park would not be assessed due to lack of access to 14th Street. 22 ALYM This location has been a candidate for years as a possible special assessment paving project. The advantages are obvious in that a more easily maintainable road would be constructed reducing county maintenance costs. There are some concerns, not immediately evident, however, that staff has in respect to the paving of this road. The following alternatives are presented. A ternative 1: First the safety of motorists using this to access US l is paramount. There does not seem to be enough traffic using this drive to ever warrant a traffic signal. As a result all maneuvers will be made without assignment of right of way onto US 1 making left turns difficult onto to US 1. An alternative would be to allow right turns only on to US 1 and require left turns to go to 6th Ave then to a street with a signal to turn left more safely. Alternative 2: Another possibility is to pave this road and improve the drainage from US 1 to 6th Ave. but to also close the road to through traffic at a point east of the drive to the print shop. This would limit the amount of traffic accessing US 1 at this location, but would not provide good access to the Council on Aging. Alternative 3: Another possibility is to make this road-way a one way east street thereby causing all traffic to go east to 6th Ave. to exit to US 1. The one way concept has an advantage in that the street would not have to be as wide to serve one way traffic as to serve two way traffic. This would fit better in the limited right of way and make it much easier to provide drainage and to obtain St. John's River Water Management District Permits, while still maintaining access to all properties along 14th. It has a disadvantage in that commercial traffic will be routed along 6th Ave. RECOMbdEhIDATION AND FUNDING _ Staff recommends Alternative 1 with funding by special assessment, a portion of the cost will be paid by the benefiting property owners, and the remainder by the County. The estimated cost of this improvement if constructed by County forces is approximately $40,000.00. Commissioner Tippin commented that this road desperately needs improvement. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved Alternate 1 for the improvements to 14th Street between 6th Avenue and U.S. 1 at a total cost of $40,000.00, set forth in stafffs recommendation.

AGREEMENTS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD 24 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS OFFICERS AND ADVISORS INATOA) CABLE CONFERENCE REPORT Commissioner Macht presented the following report dated May 3, 1993: DATE: MAY 31 1993 TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRAT THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO � �/�? DIRECTOR OF UTILI Y ICES FROM: CINDY E. WHITE FRANCHISE COORDQNATOR DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: NATOA CABLE CONFERENCE - APRIL 26-27, 1993 The recent NATOA conference held in Covington, Kentucky, dealt with several issues regarding the new Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (111992 Cable Act"). A summary of the rate regulation procedure is outlined below: On April 1, 1993, the FCC adopted rules governing the regulation of cable rates. The final text of these rules is to be published in the FCC Report and Order in the Federal Register, and should be available this month. Essentially, the FCC adopted a series of national per -channel benchmark rates to determine what is reasonable. These rates will be used with both basic broadcast and "expanded basic" tiers; programming such as HBO, Showtime, and pay-per-view events cannot be rate regulated at all (the FCC ordered a rate freeze for 120 days for all cable rates in effect on April 5, 1993, so that franchising authorities would have a reasonable period of time to start this rate regulation process). Franchising authorities are to look at each cable operator's basic rates in effect as of September 30, 1992. •If their basic rates are above the benchmark rates, Indian River County may then require the September 30, 1992, rates to be further reduced to the benchmark rate level, or by ten percent, whichever is a smaller reduction. In order for basic service rates to be regulated, the franchising authority must become certified by the FCC. The certification form is anticipated to be a one-page document, and must certify that Indian River County has the legal authority to adopt, and the personnel to administer, the regulations. Franchising authorities may begin filing for certification 30 days after publication of the Report and Order. The FCC (not the franchising authority) will determine if c- rate reduction is necessary for "expanded basic" tiers, but only in response to consumer and/or franchise authority complaints, or by complaints from other relevant local or state governmental entities. The April 12, 1993, issue of Multichannel News stated that the 28 -town Cincinatti-area 25 MAY 41993 BOOK 89 PAGE 443 MAY -7 BOOK 89 FAg 444 Intercommunity Cable Regulatory Commission "will do a 'complete media blitz' to reach consumers who may want to file complaints on expanded tier rates during a six-month window slated to open this summer." Indian River County may want to consider a similar action (???). The complaint -filing procedure mentioned above should become available this month, as well. After August 1993, the FCC intends to conduct cost studies to determine if additional rate reductions will be necessary in the future. Further information regarding rate regulation can be found in the attached conference handout prepared by Miller & Holbrooke, Attorneys at Law, in addition to information regarding new customer service standards, technical standards, renewal procedures, and other areas affected by the 1992 Cable Act. I will keep you informed of developments as they occur.

S.W. Atlanta, Georgia 30:303 LA -Payment to Counties/Parishes Dear Sir or Madam: The Fish and Wildlife Service is pleased to present Indian River County/Parish its refuge revenue sharing payment in the amount of $ 12,608. 00 This payment for fiscal year 1992 (October 1, 1991 -September 30, 1992) is authorized by the Refuge Revenue Sharing Act of 1978, Public Law 95-469. Funds credited to the National Wildlife Refuge Fund are derived from income generated nationally on Service lands, such as oil and gas revenues, sale of timber products, gravel, grazing receipts, and other products. The Act authorizes payment to counties in which Fish and Wildlife Service -owned lands are located, based upon the following methods of computation, whichever is greater: (1) Three-fourths of 1 percent (0.75 percent) of the fair market (appraised) value of Jgg lands located within the county. (2) Seventy-five cents per acre of the £fig lands located within the county. (3) Twenty-five percent of net receipts collected by the Fish and Wildlife Service for certain activities permitted oneft lands located within the county. This year's fund did not contain sufficient receipts to make full payment to counties as computed above. Although Congress, as authorized, did appropriate additional funds, the amount appropriated was not sufficient to provide for a full entitlement payment. The amount of payment for fiscal year 1992 represents 81.1 percent of the total entitlement. Should you have any questions about this payment, please do not hesitate to contact US.
