C. Modification of Dock License Agreement - Country Club Pointe,
unit i
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 3/4/94:
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: ���/ William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney
DATE: March 4, 1994
SUBJECT: Modification of Dock License Agreement
In 1991 the County granted a license to Mr. and Mrs. Frederick M. Droege
to allow them to construct a dock for personal recreation use immediately
3

east of their property in Country Club Pointe, Unit 1, across Calcutta Drive
on the canal. This was the first of many agreements to allow dock
construction off of County right-of-way which were approved. Most of the
license • agreements which followed the one entered into with the Droeges
provided that the property owner could allow a rental tenant to utilize the
dock associated with the Country Club Pointe rental property. The Droeges
have been unsuccessful in selling their Orlando home and relocating to the
Vero Beach property and, as such, have rented the property. On February
8th of this year I notified them that the tenant could not (and the tenant
has not) utilized the dock under the terms of the existing agreement, but
that the County had subsequently modified all other license agreements to
allow such use.
Attached is a modification of the Droeges' license agreement which would
allow tenants in their property on Calcutta Drive to utilize their dock. The
modification is consistent with the license agreements subsequently entered
into by the County and Country Club Pointe residents.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Modification to License
Agreement and authorize the County Attorney's staff to record the
agreement.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved
the Modification to License Agreement and authorized
staff to record the agreement.

FROM: Stan Boling AICD
Planning Director
SUBJECT: Request to Establish Hearing Date to Consider Substantial
Deviation Request for Additional Grand Harbor Marina
Boatslips
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of March 15, 1994.
4
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On February 7, 1994, * GHA, Grand Harbor Ltd. submitted a Substantial
Deviation Application for Development Approval to the Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council. The request for a substantial
deviation from the adopted development order (D.O.) for the Grand
Harbor DRI proposes to add 200 boatslips to the existing Grand
Harbor Marina. Currently, the marina contains 144 boatslips.
Pursuant to the normal DRI substantial deviation review process,
the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) has now
notified the county that the submitted substantial deviation
application is complete and sufficient for review. The county must
now notify the planning council as to the date of the hearing at
which the substantial deviation request and corresponding D.O.
amendment will be considered. Once the county notifies the TCRPC
of the county public hearing date, the TCRPC will consider the
application and make its recommendation to the county.
ANALYSIS:
The county is required to publish the hearing date at least 60 days
in advance of the actual hearing. The hearing date should allow
ample time to receive the planning council's recommendation as well
as the recommendation of the Planning .and Zoning Commission. A
hearing date set for the May 24', 1994 regular Board of County
Commissioners meeting would meet the 60 day state notice
requirement and allow ample review time for the regional planning
council and the Planning and Zoning Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners set a time
certain public hearing date to consider the Grand Harbor
substantial deviation request, for the May 24, 1994 regular Board
of County Commissioners meeting.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously scheduled
a public hearing for May 24, 1994, as recommended by
staff.

[PD-94-01-001/IRC #93100058-005]
s
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of March 15, 1994.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
St. Andrews Island is a 29 lot subdivision within the boundaries of
Grand Harbor, a planned residential development (PRD). The 15.26
acre St. Andrews site is located along the Indian River Lagoon
Shoreline, midway between the north and south limits of the Grand
Harbor PRD boundaries. The subject property is zoned RM -6,
Residential Multi -Family (up to 6 units per acre), and has a land
use designation of M-1, Medium Density Residential (up to 8 units
per acre). The proposed density for the project is 1.90 units per
acre.
On November 11, 1993, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted
preliminary plat approval for St. Andrews Island, which included a
contiguous segment of Harbor Drive. A land development permit has
been issued for construction of the required subdivision
improvements. The final plat request was submitted with the
following documents:
1. A plat in conformance with the originally approved preliminary
plat;
2. An Engineer's Certified Cost Estimate to complete construction
of the Required Subdivision Improvements;
3. A Contract for Construction of Required Subdivision
Improvements;
4. A security agreement, acceptable to the County Attorney's
Office, to guarantee the submitted Contract for Construction.
6
s � �
ANALYSIS:
The required subdivision improvements have not been completed by
the developer; however, the developer has obtained a land
development permit for construction of the subdivision. The
developer desires to proceed with recording the subdivision plat
and proposes to "bond -out" for construction of required subdivision
improvements pursuant to provisions of land development regulations
(LDRs) section 913.10. The developer has submitted a Contract for
Construction of required subdivision improvements and posted
suitable security, approved by the County Attorney's Office, to
guarantee the Contract. The contract is to be executed by the
developer prior to the March 15th Board meeting date. With these
documents, the developer has -complied with the appropriate
requirements to obtain final plat approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final
plat approval for St. Andrews Island, authorize the Chairman to
execute the Contract for Construction, and accept the posted
security to guarantee the Contract for Construction.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously granted
final plat approval for St. Andrews Island (Pod C),
Grand Harbor, and accepted the posted security to
guarantee the Contract for Construction, as
recommended by staff.

Per the request of Commissioner Macht, we suggest that our
Franchise Coordinator, Ana Anderson, attend the upcoming FCC
seminar regarding current cable issues and upcoming changes to the
Cable Act of 1992.
At the time our Department's Budget was compiled, the FCC had not
scheduled any training seminars. Therefore, no funds were budgeted
for this expense.
We request authorization for funding of this expense.
Thank you.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved
out-of-state travel for Ana Anderson, Franchise
Coordinator, to attend FCC seminar on current cable

Dear Chairman Tippin:
Emeit-. 8i
Risk Mgt.
(Mar _.-.
During the preparation of our 1993-94 budget, this Office represented to the Board of
County Commissioners our hope that we could raise revenues of $202,955 for the Board
MAR 151994 BOOK 91 FnE 97J
�
r MAR 15 1994
BOOK 91 PAE 9.84
from federal prisoner reimbursements during the fiscal year. We charge the United States
Marshal's Service on a per day per prisoner basis and have been absorbing the expense for
those prisoners in our . budget.
By affording excellent service to, and - fostering a closer working relationship with the U. S.
Marshal's Service, our income from our federal prisoner program has been excellent. I am
pleased to report that we have earned $150,000 to February 28, 1994 this fiscal year. To
date, the general fund administered by the Board of County Commissioners has been the
benefactor of those funds. We expect to meet our forecasted obligations in earnings in
April 1994.
As you are aware, last summer this office made an emergency purchase of patrol cars
through a lease purchase program to shore up the dangerously dilapidated fleet we
Inherited. At this point, we will be budgeting a lease purchase payment in next fiscal
year's budget. In your budget workshop last week, Commissioners encouraged all County
entities to employ reasonable restraint in preparing the 1994-95 budgets. Since we will
exceed our federal prisoner program payments to the county, I am requesting that I be
allowed to use the remaining federal funds I receive, after we have met the target
forecast this fiscal year, for a lease purchase payment before the public budget workshop
In September. With that payment, I will make an appropriate reduction in my 1994-95
budget request. We have gone to extraordinary measures to generate this income and I
believe using some of those funds to offset our expense is appropriate. Like you, I am
concerned about the 1994-95 budget year and believe this request will assist this Office in
our budget in the new fiscal year. Accordingly, I am requesting this matter be placed on
your agenda March 15, 1994.
Sincerely,
Ga C. Wheeler, Sheriff
GCW:rw
Sheriff Gary Wheeler reported that it looks like we will be
receiving $400,000 in revenues for this year rather than the
$200,000 that was anticipated. He requested that the Sheriff's
Department be allowed to use some of this revenue to make advance
payments on the lease/purchase contract for new cars in order to
save money in interest, retire the debt sooner and save ad valorem
tax money in 1994-95. He talked to OMB Director Joe Baird about
splitting these funds 50/50, where the County would receive the
first $200,000 that was anticipated and budgeted and the Sheriff's
Department would receive the second $200,000. Sheriff Wheeler
emphasized the aggressive efforts made by his department to get
more federal prisoners, noting that when the program was started we
were having difficulty getting 10 or 11 a month and yesterday we
had 38. We have gone from revenues of $25,000 in October to over
$46,000 a month in February and March.
Director Baird admitted he probably hadn't expressed himself
well when he was discussing this with Sheriff Wheeler, but he had
been thinking that the County would receive the first $200,000 plus
50 percent of anything over $200,000.
Administrator Chandler advised that we estimated $200,000 in
revenues from the federal prisoner program for the 1993-94 year.
12
We are trying to be somewhat conservative because right after the
budget was adopted last year we came up short in revenue projected
from the tax rolls due to significant adjustments made by the Value
Adjustment Board. He felt that the 50/50 split would be okay if we
receive the $400,000 that Sheriff Wheeler anticipates.
Commissioner Eggert asked if any of this money would be needed
for the wage -an -hour suit, and Sheriff Wheeler explained that it is
not really a suit at this time. We are doing a self audit on wages
per hour and it would be difficult to estimate the costs involved
at this point. There definitely will be some cost, however.
Commissioner Adams understood that we have 4 annual payments
of $137,000 under the lease/purchase contract, and Sheriff Wheeler
explained that every year we will be budgeting for the purchase of
new cars. Ideally, a car lasts 5 years, so we need to budget
about 20 percent of our fleet each year so that we don't get hit
with buying 50-60 cars in one year.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, that the Board stipulate that
for just this year the first $200,000 in federal
prisoner revenues goes to the County and the second
$200,000 goes to the Sheriff with a 50/50 split of
anything over $400,000.
Under discussion, Commissioner Adams brought up the matter of
whether or not there is a penalty clause for early payment of the
lease debt, and Sheriff Wheeler stated that if the money cannot be
used to pay off debt, it will be returned to the County.
Commissioner Macht felt we need more information on the long-
term budgetary effect of a 50/50 split of revenues, but Chairman
Tippin explained that the 50/50 split is just for this year.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The
Motion was voted on and carried unanimously.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR USE OF ST. LUCIE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPT.

FROM: Doug Wright Director
Emergency Services
DATE: March 1, 1994
SUBJECT: Approval of Interlocal Agreement for Use
of St. Lucie County Sheriff's Department
Air Ambulance (Helicopter)
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
On September 10, 1991, and December 8, 1992, The Board of County
Commissioners approved an Interlocal Agreement with the St. Lucie
County Sheriff's Department for the cooperative use of their Bell
Long Ranger helicopter for emergency services purposes. The
agreement is now before the Board for consideration and
reauthorization for this fiscal year.
The helicopter has been certified as an air ambulance by the Florida
Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services and is currently
being used in the EMS program in St. Lucie County. St. Lucie County
Sheriff Robert Knowles continues to offer its services to Indian
River County without charge in situations where immediate trauma care
and rapid transportation to a medical facility is necessary.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
" This agreement provides for the availability of rapid transport of
trauma patients from rural areas of Indian River County. It will be
especially helpful for multiple casualty incidents that occur in the
Turnpike area where vehicle accidents occur frequently and usually
involve more than one vehicle and multiple patients.
Staff also has a concern that given the condition of State Road 60
west of Vero Beach, incidents will increase in this very rural area.
The helicopter availability for EMS patients will be invaluable in
these type situations and will decrease the transport time required
for trauma patients to a medical facility enhancing our life saving
efforts.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Board approval

agreement.

FROM: Doug Wright, Director
Emergency Services
DATE: March 7, 1994
SUBJECT: Authorization to Submit Three Competitive Grant
Applications For Funding Consideration from the Emergency
Management, Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund
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
Legislation was passed in the 1993 Session which enacted major
changes to Chapter 252, Florida Statutes, which relates to emergency
management. The legislation created the Emergency Management,
Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund which provides for non-
matching Base Grants, matching Competitive Grants, and loans to state
or regional agencies, local governments, and private organizations to
implement projects that will further state and local emergency
management objectives pursuant to Rule Chapter 9G-18, Florida
Administrative Code.
On March 8, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved a non-
matching Base Grant allocation of $70,424 and the proposed
expenditures for the grant funds. Administrative Rule 9G-18
establishes a maximum of $50,000 that can be awarded for any one
project from the Competitive Grants program.
Staff is now seeking authorization to submit
Competitive
Grant
applications for three projects which will further state
and
local
emergency management objectives. The cutoff
day for
the
State
accepting grant applications is March 18,
1994.
The
grant
applications and source of matching funds are as

Staff understands the two projects which are dependent upon the
Optional One Cent Sales Tax revenue is proposed only at this point.
If the grant applications are favorably considered by the Review
Committee in Tallahassee and matching funds are not available from
the county, the Competitive Grant funds will be returned to the
state.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The position was taken by staff that any potential source of funding
should be explored to help assist in the three projects identified
above. Although two of the proposed projects have been identified
for partial funding from the optional one cent sales tax program, the
grant funds would help with the purchase of communications equipment
as well as renovations to the Emergency Management Division and the
Emergency Operations Center.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Board approve submission of the three grant
applications as noted and authorize the Chairman to execute the
necessary documents as required to receive the grant funds for the
expenditures stated in the grant applications.
Commissioner Adams felt that it would be a waste of the
State's time to review grant applications on projects #1 and #2
before they have received approval from the County Commission. She
wasn't excited about the first 2 items because it makes it seem
that we are being frivolous in our request for grant funds.
Commissioner Eggert noted that the first two projects are up
for approval at the April 6 workshop on the use of the optional 1 -
cent sales tax revenues, but Emergency Services Director Doug
Wright interjected that the application deadline is March 18. It
will be 60 days before we hear whether we are to receive any grant
funds, and if approval is not given to use the 1 -cent tax on the
first two items, we could pull the applications at that time. -
16
� _ r
Administrator Chandler advised that we made it clear on the
applications that it is contingent upon approval of funding
sources. These projects were presented at the February 23 workshop
for consideration of 1 -cent sales tax projects for the second five
years. Approximately $400,000 has not been funded for the 800 MHz
project and we are looking at the 1 -cent sales tax as an
alternative funding source.
Director Wright explained that money has been identified for
the Emergency Office Center renovations, and staff felt we could
offset some of that cost through a grant. If it is $60, 000 and the
Board approves the project, and -if we get a grant for $50,000,
there is perspective that we could have a 30/30 match for the
$60,000.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, that the Board approve the
submission of the applications with the under-
standing that the practice of applying for grants on
contingency of approval of projects is not unique.
Under discussion, Commissioner Adams was opposed to submitting
the applications because she felt it would make it appear that we
have predisposed the 1 -cent sales tax funds to the Emergency
Services projects.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The
Motion carried by a 4-1 vote, Commissioner
Adams dissenting.

EMPLOYEE HEALTH PLAN CONSULTANT
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 3/8/94:
.................................................................
To: James Chandler Date: March 8, 1994
County Administrator
From: Jack Price, Personnel Sub: Employee Health
Plan Consultant
On January 4, 1994 the Board of County Commissioners approved a
contract with Siver Insurance Management Consultants who will
assist in reviewing and remarketing the health care program. In
reviewing their analysis, the Employee Health Plan Committee has
determined that two alternative plan elements should be explored,
optional Long Term Disability and supplemental Life Insurance.
The cost of this additional work is $2,000, which is within the
amount originally budgeted for the task. Significantly, if a pre-
tax element is provided as the committee has recommended, the
County will save well over double this amount in matched taxes.
Thanks for your assistance.
Personnel Director Jack Price explained that the two elements
would not add to the County's costs because they would be optional
to the employees as a payroll deduction.
In response to Commissioner Eggert's request, Director Price
reviewed the scope of work by Siver Insurance Management
Consultants. He noted that Siver is aware of the latest trends in
government and the private sector, have contacts in underwriting
firms, and serve as our knowledgeable representatives in dealing
with the provider community. They negotiated the preferred
provider contract with Doctors' Clinic.
Administrator Chandler advised that Siver helps us put out the
request for proposals when we bid out the health insurance every
two years, and Director Price emphasized that managed care is the
overriding concept in cost savings.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved
$2,000 for the additional work by Siver Insurance
Management Consultants.

FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.B.
Capital Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Full Time Resident Inspection Services for
Indian River Boulevard Phase IV
- REF, DEMO: Tom Bisaillon to Terry Thompson dated March 2, 1994
DATE: March 4, 1994 FILE: inspect.agn
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
On August 18, 1992, the Board approved contracting with Manpower Temporary
Services for an inspector to provide construction inspection services on
Indian River Boulevard Phase IV. The total amount approved for 18 months of
inspection services was $70,800 ($60,000 salary + $10,800 or 18%.
administrative fee). Manpower pays the inspector every two weeks and bills
the County. The inspector is employed wholly by Manpower and they take care
of all social security, worker's compensation, unemployment taxes, etc.
As of the bi-weekly pay period ending February 13, 1994, a total of
$64,432.04 has been paid to Manpower Temporary Services. Construction of
Indian River Boulevard Phase IV is scheduled to be complete in May 1994. An
extension of inspection services of approximately six months beyond the
original estimated period of 18 months is now required.
The "notice -to -proceed" for construction of Indian River Boulevard Phase IV
was issued on April 26, 1993. From July 20, 1992 to April- 26, 1993 the-
inspector worked on an as needed basis to coordinate the relocation of trees
in the Boulevard right-of-way, follow up on Phase III punch list items and to
work with grove owners on determining what modifications would have to be
made to adjacent groves.
20
The Personnel Department has contacted Manpower Temporary Services and they
have agreed to extend the inspector's employment through June 5, 1994 at the
same bi-weekly rate of $1,920.00 (includes 18% administrative fee). The cost
of extending the inspectors employment until construction is complete and the
punch list is satisfied is estimated to be $9,000.
If this additional amount is approved, the total cost to the County for
inspection services on Indian River Boulevard Phase IV will be approximately
$79,800. Contracting through an employment agency for an inspector has
resulted in a substantial savings to the County. Contracting through a
consulting firm for a full time resident inspection services on Indian River
Boulevard Phase III for a one year period cost the County $135,060 ($99,840
wages, $6,000 vehicle, $26,820 management and support, and $2,400 office
supplies).
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Alternative No. 1
Extend the contract with Manpower Temporary Services at a cost of
$9,000.
Alternative No. 2
Seek additional proposals from other employment agencies.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends Alternative #1 whereby the contract with Manpower Temporary
Services is extended. Funding is from 309-215-541-066.51, Indian River
Boulevard Phase IV.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved
Alternative #1 to extend the contract with Manpower

REF. LETTER: Kurt Spitzer, KSA, to FASU
Coordinating Committee
DATE: March 3, 1994 FILE: FMU.A=
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Florida Association of Counties NPDES Stormwater Technical
Committee has requested that I participate in a coordinating
committee to organize a new local government association whose
purpose is to exercise initiative and leadership in dealing with
stormwater problems, mandates, and policies. Many Florida cities
and counties are being strongly encouraged by the Florida DEP, DCA,
and USEPA to implement stormwater utility programs. Indian River
County was, in some respects, a pioneer of this concept back in
1983 when the Public Works Department recommended establishing the
Vero Lake Estates MSTU for development of a Stormwater Master Plan
and funding source for drainage improvements. To date, 45 cities
and 9 counties have established stormwater utilities in Florida.
There are approximately 250 additional cities and counties in
Florida considering establishing a stormwater utility, including
Indian River County and the City of Vero Beach.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The proposed annual dues for Indian River County to join the FASU
will be $250. If and when the county establishes a Stormwater
Utility, the fee would increase to include a $.25 per capita
charge. The Association will be a strong lobbying force to
communicate the interests of local governments.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
At this time, staff requests authorization for the Public Works
Director to be a member of the FASU Coordinating Committee. When
the formal association becomes an official body, staff will budget
the $250/year annual dues.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously
authorized the Public Works Director to be a member
of the FASU Coordinating Committee, as set out in
the above staff recommendation.

REF. LETTER: Matthew Achin to "Whom It May
Concern" received Jan 13, 1994
DATE: March 2, 1994 FILE: iooMA=
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
During the regular May 15, 1991 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners,
staff recommended that the County assume grading of approximately 13 miles of
additional unpaved roads in the Vero Lake Estates Subdivision. Various roads
have been added since that time with the approval of the Board.
At this time, various property owners along 100th Court between 81st Street
and 83rd Street have requested that the County grade 100th Court in Vero -Lake
Estates Subdivision.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Staff has reviewed these requests and performed the standard numerical
evaluation of criteria for acceptance of grading unimproved roads. Staff
usually recommends that a minimum of 75 points be assigned to justify
grading. In this case, a minimum of 85 points was assigned.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
- Since the minimum of 85 points was met, staff recommends the addition of _
100th Court between 81st Street and 83rd Street be added to the grading route
in Vero Lake Estates.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved
the addition of 100th Court between 81st and 83rd

FROM: Don G. Donaldson, P.E.,
Coastal Engineer
SUBJECT: Physical Modeling of the PEP Reef
DATE: March 8, 1994 FILE: esr.A=
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Staff has negotiated terms of an agreement with the University of
Florida for physical model testing of the PEP Reef. On February 1,
•1994, the Board authorized staff to negotiate the terms of an
amendment to American Coastal's Contract for the computer modeling
of the PEP Reef. The authorized additional costs cannot exceed
$25,000.. Since that time, the University of Florida has published
a first six months results on the performance of the PEP Reef
installation in the Town of Palm Beach, Florida. This report
identified a potential impact resulting from the reef's influence
on the nearshore currents. Staff has consulted with DEP,
University of Florida, and American Coastal Engineering regarding
this phenomena and feel a numerical model will not adequately
address this potential problem. The University of Florida
presented a proposal to model the PEP Reef at their facilities.
The Board was made aware of this proposal on Feb. 22, 1994 and
authorized staff to negotiate a contract with the University of
Florida.
The attached agreement outlines the specific services to be
provided. Compensation will be a lump sum in the amount of
$10,000.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends approval of the contract between Indian River
County and the University of Florida. Funding is from the Tourist
Tax Revenue Fund.
In response to Commissioner MachtIs question, Commissioner.
Adams stated she was very happy with the price for the modeling.
She emphasized that any recommendations to be made as a result of
the findings of the physical modeling will be brought to the Board
of County Commissioners.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by

BACKGROUND
On September 21, 1993, the Indian River County -Board of County
Commissioners approved the award of the labor contract bid to
Driveways, Inc., Bid No. 4007 (see attached minutes). The Department
of Utility Services proposes to use this labor contract to construct
the aforementioned force main.
On December 7, 1993, the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners authorized the design and preliminary estimated cost for
the project. The design of the force main and lift station is complete
and all permits have been obtained and filed. The building of the lift
station will be proposed to the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners as a separate agenda item.
ANALYSIS .
This construction project consists of approximately 4,500 linear feet
of P.V.C. force main with all appurtenances from the south end of Grove
Isle Subdivision to Vero Shores at east side of U.S. Highway #1.
The labor cost to construct the force main under the labor contract,
including the required bonds, is $42,076.99 (see attached Work
Authorization No. 21 with Driveways, Inc.). The pipe and fittings will
be supplied by the County, purchased from Davis Meter and Supply
Company under its material bid except for pipe force main with tar
epoxy lining at a projected cost of $60,794.02 (See attached Bid).
Funding for this project will be from the impact fee fund.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners execute the attached agreement, which
approves Work Authorization No. 21 to construct the subject project
with Driveways, Inc., for the amount of $42,076.99, to construct an
estimated 4,500 linear feet of force main and to authorize expenditure

BACKGROUND
91 F',UF 9g
On March 10, 1994, our department received the attached fax.
Congress is currently considering allowing telephone companies to
enter the cable market without a franchise. The Clinton
administration supports this amendment.
ANALYSIS
We do not recommend the telephone companies use the County Right -
of -Ways, easements and roads without any return of revenue to the
County. Therefore, we feel it is important that some form of
franchise be required for the telephone companies that provide
cable service. We feel that telcos should pay fees as do cable
operators.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services requests your
approval to support NATOA in this issue and to act promptly to
provide our input to the congressional process.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
