PUBLIC DISCUSSION - REQUEST OF BILLY WORKMAN TO DISCUSS RESOLUTIONS 89-4 AND 92-197 IMPOSING LIENS ON PROPERTY BELONGING TO HIS MOTHER INEZ WORKMAN Billy C. Workman introduced' himself and stated that he has been in the United States Armed Forces for the past 20 years. During most of that time he was stationed overseas, and he was not aware of the liens that were placed on his mother's home in connection with the County's removal of trash from her property. His 2 sisters who live in this area did not tell him about this problem. He explained that his mother had no source of income until she recently became eligible for Social Security, and she collected recyclable materials with the hope of deriving some income from their sale. Much of the trash was deposited on her property by other people in the community. Mr. Workman asked whether the Board could reduce the amount of the liens, and do something to prevent this from happening in the future. He stated that the $23,000 lien exceeds the estimated value of the property. He asked whether there was any salvage value to the recyclable Boa 92 mF 217 APR 19 1994 materials that could be credited toward the amount owed. Mr. Workman advised the Board that his mother is mentally unstable, and he is attempting to have her institutionalized under the Baker Act. Meanwhile, he hoped to reach an agreement with the County regarding repayment of the liens before he leaves for Korea in 30 days. Administrator Chandler reported that the County removed a large amount of trash from the property in 1989 and again in 1992. Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) staff offered to place a dumpster on Ms. Workman's property, but she did not accept that offer. Some of the people in the community tried to help clean up her property, but she was uncooperative. The liens represent the actual cost to the County of disposing of the trash. The County contacted some recyclers, but the recyclers indicated that it was not feasible to separate the recyclable materials from the other trash. Administrator Chandler commented that additional trash has accumulated on the property since the 40 truckloads were removed in 1992. Mr. Workman related that he is in the process of having the trash removed from the property. Commissioner Bird felt that the Board should not set a precedent by forgiving the entire lien, but he asked whether the Board has the authority to reduce or waive the. interest charges if a payment plan can be worked out. Attorney-Vitunac advised that the Board has the authority to take whatever action is deemed appropriate. Chairman Tippin wondered why Mr. Workman's sisters who live in this area did not attempt to resolve the situation. He commented that he drove by the subject property several times, and that he never saw so much debris on one piece of property except at the landfill. Mr. Workman explained that his sisters are older and not capable of helping. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, to authorize staff to meet with the Workman family members and develop a tentative _ agreement for the Board's approval. Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert asked whether the Board wanted to forgive the interest owed. COMMISSIONER MACHT AMENDED HIS MOTION TO INCLUDE FORGIVENESS OF INTEREST OWED. 8 THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. PUBLIC DISCUSSION - REQUEST OF JOHN OLBERMANN TO SPEAR REGARDING PROPOSAL FOR COMPREHENSIVE COUNTY OWNED AND OPERATED SHOOTING RANGE The Board reviewed the following memo dated April 12, 1994: 1950 South U.S. One #84 Vero Beach, FL 32952-7258 April 129 1994 Mr. Jim Chandler County Administrator Dear Jim, I'd like to address the County Commissioners at the meeting on Tuesday, April 19, 1994 concerning my proposal for a comprehensive County domed and operated 250 acre shooting range. As president of the NRA Member's Council of Indian River County, I will be representing the Council and the one- thousand two hundred National Rifle Association members in the County. Sincerely, ohn Olt am John Olbermann, president of the National Rifle Association (NRA) Member's Council of Indian River County, asked the Board to consider acquiring a 250 -acre parcel located north of CR -512, south of the C-54 canal, East of I-95 and west of Sebastian Creek. He felt that a parcel of that size would provide buffering between the shooting range and any future use of the land. He recommended a nominal fee of $1.00 per day for -use of the range, and he stated that many NRA members would volunteer to work at the range. Mr. Olbermann pointed *out that this County has 50 park and recreation areas, 3 airports, 3 museums, several theaters, and numerous other amenities, but no shooting range. He acknowledged that the City of Vero Beach has a shooting range, but in his opinion the City's shooting range is unsafe because of its low berm and proximity to a golf course and the United Parcel Service building. He also felt that the $25.00 annual membership fee and $5.00 hourly charge for use of the range make it unaffordable for many people. Commissioner Bird agreed that it is frustrating that the County has not been able to develop a shooting range, but he emphasized that it has not been from lack of trying. He recounted 9 APR i 199 doaK 92 Pa,E 219 92 UL Ir?9N�. APR 19 1994 that several years ago the Sheriff requested a shooting range for use by law enforcement personnel. A committee was formed of representatives from the Sheriff's office and local shooting enthusiasts. The County Commission members at that time were opposed to spending money to purchase land for a range, but they indicated that they might be in favor of a County -operated range if there was surplus County land available. The problem was that everybody was in favor of a shooting range but nobody wanted it in their back yard. The committee decided that none of the County - owned property was suitable. Landowners in the western part of the county were contacted to see if any of them would donate land, but nobody came forward. The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) was contacted to determine whether any of their land might be suitable for a range, and they responded that a 52 -acre site at the 20 -mile bend of SR -60 might be suitable. However, an environmental survey revealed that at least 1/2 the total acreage was environmentally sensitive wetlands. The committee asked St. Johns to keep the County in mind in its acquisition of additional land that might be suitable. Meanwhile Mr. Coraci, the owner of some property west of I-95, offered to donate 100 acres of his land for a shooting range. It would be a good site because of its remote location, but the only access is a private road that goes - through Mr. Coraci's ranch and under I-95. The cost of providing public access to that property would be considerable.- Commissioner Bird wondered if any of the properties that are acquired under the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (LAAO) process could be developed into a range. Commissioner Eggert understood the desire of people to have a shooting range, but she was opposed to spending taxpayers' money to purchase land for that purpose if there is some other way to get it, particularly when there are so many other needs in the county. Commissioner Bird mentioned that the committee obtained information about the Black Canyon shooting range in Arizona, which probably is the premier shooting range in the United States. The committee learned that it is located in the desert on land -that was donated, and embankments provide a natural berm. Although it is -a premier facility where numerous shooting events are held and fees are charged, it has an annual deficit of several hundred thousand dollars and must be subsidized by the local government. Chairman Tippin thought it would be naive to think the County could afford to purchase land for a shooting range. He hoped that the County could open a shooting range on acreage that is purchased as part of the environmentally sensitive land acquisition process. 10 Commissioner Macht suggested that the Recreation Department or the Parks and Recreation Committee conduct research to determine whether there is substantial interest in a shooting range. Public Works Director Jim Davis recalled that the special committee was formed when this was first discussed because it was recognized that the Parks and Recreation Committee does not have the expertise to evaluate a shooting range. Commissioner Eggert asked whether cost estimates were obtained, and Director Davis responded that when the 4th Street property was being considered several years ago, the cost of fill dirt needed to provide an adequate berm would be about $1.9 million. Further discussion ensued regarding the need to find an appropriate location. Commissioner Adams agreed that finding an appropriate site is a major problem. She pointed out that even a safe range will have opposition unless it is in a remote area. She thought money might be available from the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission to help develop a range if we find a location. Commissioner Bird stated that he would renew his discussions with St. Johns. Commissioner Macht advised the Board that he would ask the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee whether it would be feasible to use environmentally -sensitive land for a shooting range.

Chandler, County Administrator THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E.4-r Capital Projects Manager SUBJECT: Round Island Park Improvements Change Order No. 3 and Final Payment DATE: April 7, 1994 FILE: RICO#3.agn DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Construction of Round Island Park is now complete. Attached is Change Order No. 3 and the Final Payment Application. The change order includes increases in the amount of $2,302.78 for extra work requested by the County and deducts in the amount of ($5,604.87) for a net deduct of ($3,302.09). The majority of deducts are for landscaping items that will be included in a separate landscaping contract that is scheduled to go out for bid later this month. Funding for the landscaping contract in the amount of $21,450 will be provided from the 1993 SBA National Small Business Tree Planting Grant that was accepted by the Board on January 11, 1994. Change Order No. 3 also provides for a 32 day time extension. The time extension includes 3 rain days, 8 owner delay days and 21 days for reconstruction of the boardwalk. The general contractor, Speegle Construction, reconstructed the boardwalk after their subcontractor, Plaza Marine, failed to construct the boardwalk in accordance with the plans and specifications. Staff feels that Speegle should not be charged liquidated damages for the days they spent correcting the work of a subcontractor. W BOOK 92 PAGF ,:�9 BooK 92 �, �r 940APR � 9 �9�4 If the additional contract time is approved by the Board, the new contract completion date is January 18, 1994. Substantial completion was issued on February 17, 1994. The Contract Agreement specifies that liquidated damages in the amount of $100.00 per calendar day be deducted from the monies due the Contractor for each calendar day elapsing between the contract completion date and the actual (substantial) completion date. The total amount of liquidated damages for the 30 calendar day delay is $3,000.00. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The alternatives are as follows; Alternative No. 1 Authorize Change Order No. 3 in the amount of (-$3,302.09) for a new contract amount of $343,641.83, deduct $3,000.00 in liquidated damages from the final payment for a final contract amount of $340,641.83 and release final payment including the 10% retainage. Alternative No._2 Deny authorization of all or any of the items above. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends approval of Alternative No. 1. Funding is from the Florida Inland Navigation District and the Florida Boating Improvement Program. Commissioner Bird commended staff's ingenuity in obtaining funds under the Small Business Association 1993 National Small Business Tree Planting program. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved Alternative No. 1 as set forth in staff's memorandum. CHANGE ORDER NO. 3 IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD BEACH AND SHORE PRESERVATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE - REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION FOR AMERICAN COASTAL ENGINEERING TO START MANUFACTURING THE FIRST 1000 FEET OF THE PREFABRICATED EROSION PROTECTION (PEP) REEF Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that the Beach and Shore Preservation Advisory Committee is requesting authorization to issue a notice to proceed to American Coastal Engineering to begin prefabrication of the first 1000 feet of the prefabricated 30 r erosion protection (PEP)'reefso that the project can be completed this summer. The contract provides for a $240,000 payment with the notice to proceed, and another $240,000 payment for the manufacture of the first 1000 feet of PEP reef._ We received a letter stating that additional information is required, but the committee is confident the permits will be issued as soon as the application is determined to be complete. Councilman Bill Jordan and Ralph Sexton met with Kirby Green of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and he assured 'them that a permit will be issued. We also are waiting for a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Commissioner Eggert asked whether the State is asking for information in addition to the physical modeling study being conducted at the University of Florida. Coastal Engineer Don Donaldson advised that Kirby Green, director of the Beaches and Shores division at DEP, has indicated that a computer simulation will be required if the physical modeling study being conducted does not provide the necessary data. However, staff and the committee are optimistic that the physical modeling study will be sufficient. - Commissioner Adams distributed the following letter from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) dated April 14, 1994, which was sent to us in response to our request for some assurance from the State that the permits would be forthcoming: Lawton Chile, Governor Florida Department of Environmental Protection Marjory St(►netnan Dm iglas Builcling 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard Tallahassee, Florida 32399-30110 April ;14, 1994 Don G.

Wetherell Secretary "4b N��sr Q� �Di7a''•':�; C501, JVyV' SUBJECT: DHS -9A0342, PEP Reef, Vero Beach, Indian River County This letter is ---in response to your request of April 5, 1994, concerning the County's application for a.permit to install a PEP reef off the.coast of Vero Beach. 31 _I APR 19 19,94 Boof 92 mr-242 The Department will not be in a position to issue a permit, or provide an intent to issue a permit, by May 1, 19941 because at this point the application is still incomplete. The County has not provided the information required pursuant to Statute and Rule which is necessary to complete the application and allow the Department to begin the review process. The Department will proceed forward with the project review upon receipt of the information required to complete the application. Permit issuance is contingent upon receipt of the additional information required and resolution of the outstanding issues such as project configuration, impacts to the shoreline and other issues identified in recent completeness correspondence. As previously discussed, I do not foresee a necessity to modify the patented design of the individual units., If you have any questions, please call me at (904)487-4469. Sincerely, Kirby B Green, IIIector Divisio of Beaches and Shores Commissioner Bird asked, and Commissioner Adams confirmed that the committee is requesting authorization for American Coastal Engineering to manufacture the first 1000 feet, but the reefs will - not be placed in the water until after the permits are issued. chairmann-Tippin was concerned that the officials might change their minds and decline to issue the permits. Commissioner Eggert asked whether we could sell the reef sections or find another use for them if the permits are not issued. Commissioner Adams thought there would be a use for them somewhere, but she was convinced that the permits will be issued. She emphasized that the State has determined that the design of the PEP reef is acceptable; it is the placement of the individual sections that is. in question. Frank 2orc, 2501 27th Avenue, read the following letter aloud: 32 April 19, 1994 Indian River County Commission Comments for the minute record Pre -Mature - RE: Reef construction: Thank you for the opportunity to make comments which I desire to be part of this meetings tape and the written minutes: 1. You are being asked to approve the commencement and I assume -assurance of payment for the manufacture of components of a planned reef for which you do not yet have required state permits. It is also startling to hear about using a verbal --.statement assuring a permit from some state person, when we have in hand a letter dated April 14th. from the Director of Beaches and Shores Mr Kirby Green, clearly stating, his department WILL NOT be in a position to issue a permit, OR PROVIDE AN INTENT TO ISSUE A PERMIT,by May 1st. because our application 'is not complete. The required documentation has not yet been complete. Complicated water tank tests are not.complete. No one should be able to positively guarantee a permit for this device which i.s "experimental at best", no doubt, the very reason for the difficulty in obtaining the permit. It appears that political pressure is being exerted on the state. If you act today to commence construction without a permit in hand, you are putting the State in a box where they may feel pressured and or compelled to permit the project-. As a 35 year. resident/ taxpayer of I.R. County and state liscenced general contractor, I plea with you to wait for the permits. I see going ahead now as very inappropriate,. haphazard, and a very poor example. At yesterdays beach committee meeting two attorneys raised the question about proceeding without the permit. The remaining requirements before a permit is issued are fairly substantial and incomplete. I hear expressions of dismay toward the state for it's demanding stance of --requirements for a permit. Like it or not you are under jurisdiction of the state, no different that I, or any general contractor i,s under your jurisdiction to }:wild anything in this county. If I started a million dollar building project without a permit, no matter what my time constraints ,might be, what would your arm of government do to me ? Need"l ask ? Why should you give a bad example. My second concern is, Whenever..... before you commence this "experimental project" I would like to know we have absolute provision that clearly holds the reef contractor fully liable if any negligence or faulty workmanship would cause the need to remove the reef. The taxpayers of this county should never have to face such a cost which would be more than the initial installation. K�3 91011 ` ° l 16 BOOK 92 F,�r 4�' APR 19 1994 Bou -9 vw244 Lengthy discussion ensued about the ramifications of issuing a notice to proceed prior to issuance of the permits. Mike Vanatta, member of the Beach and Shore Preservation Advisory Committee, urged the Board to issue the notice to proceed. He emphasized that American Coastal Engineering needs to start manufacturing the PEP reef so that the project can be completed this summer. Clinton Scott, 1926 Ocean Drive, urged the Board to issue the notice to proceed, even though his home is not in the area where the PEP reef will be placed. He reported that he accompanied Commissioner Adams and members of the Beach Committee when they looked at the artificial reef in Palm Beach County last year, and everyone was impressed with the design of that reef. He emphasized that PEP reefs no longer are considered experimental; it is a proven technology, and he is confident the permits will be issued. Commissioner Bird asked, and Commissioner Adams confirmed, that the manufacturer is able to store the units until we are ready to have them placed in the water. After -further discussion, the Board agreed to defer this item until next week. Meanwhile, Commissioner Adams will meet with Kirby Green in an attempt to get a firmer .commitment that the project will be approved when the application is complete.

They expressed concern that this event may become political because it is close to the November election. People have asked that we consider withdrawing our invitation to Janet Reno since there has been no formal acceptance. Commissioner Eggert asked how the other Commissioners feel about this. Commissioner Adams did not know of anyone we could ask without politics being involved. Commissioner Macht felt it was appropriate to invite the highest-ranking judicial official in the country to be the keynote speaker at the Courthouse opening ceremony. He' thought that we should not withdraw the invitation. Commissioner Eggert explained that concerns were expressed to her, and she just wanted to pass those concerns on to the Board. The Chairman announced that no action was required by the Board. There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 10:49 a.m. ATTEST: J. K.
