Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke provided background information
and analysis of the proposed water main extension along 103rd Court in Vero
Lake Estates Subdivision. Through the use of a PowerPoint Presentation, he
explained that an equal per parcel cost of $5,200.00 would be levied against all
nine (9) benefiting parcels, and that the property owners would be allowed to
finance the costs for up to ten (10) years at an annual rate of 5.00%. Director
Burke explained that he had recently learned that several property owners were
no longer in favor of the project because of the cost, and he wished to afford
them the opportunity to voice their concerns.
The Board sought and received information regarding the water connection of
two properties that were not included in the assessment and whether there
would be a fire hydrant installed on the south end of the project.
The Chairman opened the Public Hearing for comments.
Dierdre Parker, 8856 103rd Court, opposed the project because of the cost
involved and provided a list of signatures from several other residents who
were also against the project, but could not be present to speak.
There being no further comments, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing.
The Chairman felt that even though the benefits of the project were significant,
he could not be in favor of moving the project forward because there was not
enough support from the property owners.
Commissioner Zorc recalled the lower per unit costs associated with the Pinson
Subdivision Project, and asked Director Burke about the factors that were
contributing to the high costs for the water main extension along 103rd Court.
Indian River County Florida
Page 10
Board of County Commissioners
Meeting Minutes - Final February 6, 2018
Director Burke explained that because there were more benefiting parcels in the
Pinson Subdivision Project, the costs were more spread out; and that the costs
for labor and material had increased significantly since the water main
extension for 103rd Court had initially begun in 2016.
Commissioner Adams shared Chairman O'Bryan's concerns, and did not want
to move forward with the project if it was not wanted. She suggested allowing
additional time for staff and the Utilities Department to communicate again
with each of the property owners to allow them to voice their concerns, and
then determine whether to move the project forward.
The Chairman reopened the Public Hearing.
A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Commissioner
Adams, to continue the Public Hearing to the Meeting of February 20, 2018 to
allow staff the opportunity to contact each of the benefiting property owners to
determine whether to move the project forward. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Aye: 4 - Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and

Commissioner Zorc sought and received information about the new P25 radio,

Public Works Director Richard Szpyrka explained that he had been working
with Director Burke and the radio supplier to determine the availability of the
GPS feature, and was currently analyzing the cost to the current system. He
stated that there was a GPS feature built into the radio, and that they were
working to determine whether software would be needed to activate the
program.
Commissioner Flescher confirmed with Director Burke that there would be no
loss of serviceability or communication issues during the transition.
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, expressed opposition to the use of sole
source providers, and asked for clarification on the importance of the use of a
sole source provider for this item.

Proposed Resolution
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke acknowledged that there had been
various contractors tampering with utility connections in residential
communities with homes under construction. Through the use of a PowerPoint
Presentation, he explained that the contractors have been breaking curb stops
and removing locks to connect directly to the County's water system, bypassing
both the meter and the check valve.
Indian River County Florida
Page 13
Board of County Commissioners
Meeting Minutes - Final February 6, 2018
He expressed his concerns about one particular builder, and the fact that even
though fines have been assessed and numerous meetings have been held with
the builder's representatives, the occurrences have continued. He explained the
potential harm to public safety and the entire potable water system, and detailed
a proposed solution to prevent risks to the system.
Chairman O'Bryan sought and received information from Director Burke about
the installation of the meter and expressed his concern about the fines not being
sufficient enough to deter the offending contractors. He felt that tampering with
the water supply was a bad practice used by the contractors, and wondered if
consideration should be given to revising the County Code to increase the
penalties for violations.
County Attorney Dylan Reingold explained that under Florida Statutes, there
were certain amounts that could be assessed for violations, and that the Board
had the authority to approve an ordinance to increase those amounts. He
mentioned that staff could draft an ordinance to bring back to the Board for
consideration at a later date.
Commissioner Zorc sought and received information regarding the current fee
structure for the assessment of penalties and expressed his support in finding a
solution to the problem.
Commissioner Flescher felt that the addition of a meter and a temporary
standpipe would resolve the issue.
Joseph Paladin, President of Black Swan Consulting, Sunny Davenport, 510
26th Avenue, and Chuck Meckling, 5070 N. Al A made comments regarding the
imposition of increased penalties for repeat offenders.
A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Commissioner
Adams, to: 1) approve Resolution 2018-018, establishing a fee schedule for
installation of a new meter with a temporary stand pipe apparatus and hose bib
during construction; and 2) direct staff to provide a draft Ordinance modification
to increase the penalties for tampering with the water connections and bring
back to the Board for review. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 4 - Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and
Commissioner Zorc
Absent: 1 - Vice Chairman Solari
The Chairman called for a recess at 10:52 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at

Indian River County Florida
Page 15
Board of County Commissioners
Meeting Minutes - Final February 6, 2018
Deputy County Attorney William DeBraal explained the requirements of final plat
approval, and mentioned that one requirement was that the title of the lands to be
platted must be certified by either an attorney licensed to practice in Florida or a
title insurance company. He explained that as a result of a statutory amendment by
the Legislature, innocent purchasers could be harmed by an erroneous Property
Information Report and would have no recourse for the mistakes made by the title
company. He stated that the Development Review and Permit Process Advisory
Committee recommended to amend the Code to eliminate title companies from
certifying title on plats in unincorporated Indian River County, allowing only
Florida licensed attorneys to certify title on a plat, and to enact the Pending
Ordinance Doctrine, so that all pending and future applications for final plat
approval would be required to have the title certified by a licensed Florida attorney.
Attorney DeBraal answered Commissioner Zorc's questions about how many title
defects had come up within the last 10 years and explained what was required for
an attorney to obtain malpractice insurance.
Joseph Paladin, President of Black Swan Consulting and Vice Chairman for the
Development Review and Permit Process Advisory Committee, expressed his
support of staff recommendation.
