DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The Board of County Commissioners, at its meeting. of April 26, 1994, authorized staff to submit a grant application to the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) for improved signage and an informational brochure relating to the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge (PINWR). The application was submitted in response to citizen complaints that existing boundary signage at the refuge does not provide sufficient information regarding public use opportunities. Specifically, the application was for funding for a kiosk display; _ design and printing of a PINWR information brochure; and four waterway information signs (3 of which are two-sided), including sign installation costs (see attached project cost estimates table). On July 23, 1994, the FIND Board approved the grant application, with the following estimated project costs distribution: 3 6 BOOK f'�IGF 72 November 1, 1994 Fr - BOOK pma FIND: $11,500 (Riosk and sign installation) COUNTY: $3,000 (County traffic Engineering sign P_ product in --kind services) U.S. FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE: $2,500 (Brochure design and printing) TOTAL.

DeBlois',- AICP Chief, Environmental Planning DATE: October 25, 1994 RE: Request for Approval of Extension Addendums to Florida Communities Trust (FCT) Acquisition Agreements for Wabasso Scrub, Prang and Lost Tree Islands LAAC Sites It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of November 1, 1994. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The Board of County Commissioners, in July, 1993, approved a - Conceptual Approval Agreement with the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) to cost -share acquire the "Wabasso Scrub" property. An addendum to the Agreement was subsequently approved by the Board on June 21, 1994, to extend the original Agreement expiration date. The Wabasso Scrub property is on the County Land Acquisition Advisory Committee's (LAAC's) list of environmental land under consideration for acquisition. On May 23, 1994, the Board approved similar FCT Conceptual Approval Agreements to cost -share acquire the Prang and Lost Tree Islands LAAC sites. In these two Agreements, the County opted to identify the FCT as the lead agency to undertake pre-acquisition activities and negotiations. These Agreements have an expiration date of December 4, 1994, -but allow for extensions) as needed. Last month, staff requested extensions to the referenced Conceptual Approval Agreements in order to al -low completion of pre-acquisition activities (title report, boundary survey, appraisals) and management plan drafting prior to the agreements' expiration (see attached). The FCT Governing Board, at its meeting of September 28, 1994, approved the requested extensions. Staff now requests that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Addendums to Conceptual Approval Agreements which will extend the Agreements until April 71 1995 (Wabasso Scrub) and June 4, 1995 (Prang and Lost Tree Islands), for purposes of allowing completion of pre-acquisition tasks and conceptual management plans. Projects Status Wabasso Scrub A title report of the Wabasso Scrub property has been completed. Remaining pre-acquisition tasks include a boundary survey, two independent appraisals, environmental audit, and conceptual management plan. 5 BOOK November 1, 1994 BOOK 913 PA.�E 67 Charles Hardee of FloridAffinity, Inc., retained by the County to assist in environmental lands acquisition, has coordinated with Lost -Tree Village Corporation to have Lost Tree provide the project boundary survey. Once the survey is completed, two independent appraisals will be conducted, expected to occur within the next two months. The completed appraisals will then lead to staff negotiations with the landowner. Prang and Lost Tree Islands Unlike the Wabasso Scrub project, the County opted to have the FCT take the lead in pre-acquisition tasks and negotiations relating to the Prang Island and Lost Tree Islands projects. FCT staff have not yet begun mapping or appraising these projects. Mr. Hardee has discussed this matter with FCT staff, to evaluate the benefits of the County helping coordinate certain pre-acquisition tasks (mapping) to facilitate acquisition. Whether undertaken by the FCT or the County, pre-acquisition costs are to be cost -shared between- the etweenthe County and FCT, contingent upon a closing on the applicable project. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Board Chairman to execute the attached agreement addendums. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved and authorized the Chairman to execute Addendum I to the Conceptual Approval Agreement, as recommended by staff.

's Request for Final Plat Approval for the Florida Beach Resort It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of November 1, 1994. At the applicant's request this item was rescheduled from the October 25, 1994 Board of County Commissioners meeting to the November 1, 1994 Board of County Commissioners meeting. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The Florida Beach Resort final plat is a boundary plat of three parcels of land which total 68.91 acres. The subject property is generally located on the south side of the CR 510 on both sides of SR A -1-A (see attachment #2). This final plat covers most of the Disney residential resort project (see attachment #2) and will create three parcels for building 45 residential resort_ condominium buildings, totaling 580 residential resort units. There are several buildings currently under construction on Parcel A, at various stages of completion. The final plat is required, before a- certificate of occupancy can be granted for any of the buildings. On November 4-, 1993, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary PD plan approval for Phase I of the Florida Beach Resort. Subsequently, a land development permit was issued for Phase I. On October 13, 1994" the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a modified preliminary PD plat that includes Phases I through III of the project. Therefore, most of the project can now be final platted in one step. The developer, Disney Vacation Development, Inc., is requesting final plat approval for the area covered under Phases I through III, and has submitted the following: - 1. A final plat in conformance with the approved, modified preliminary PD plat. BOOK�' November 1, 1994 BOOK W PAGE 6Mi'l ANALYSIS: The required improvements necessary to serve the buildings proposed within the project are controlled via the PD plan development process and will be provided 'by the developer on a building -by - building basis. Prior to obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) for any building, the required improvements necessary to serve the building muBt be constructed by -the developer. All of the required improvements. in the development will be private, except utilities, which will be dedicated and warranted separately, prior to the issuance of a C.O. for any building. Since the provision of required internal improvements will be controlled through the PD site plan process, the developer has complied with the appropriate requirements to obtain final plat approval for the boundary plat. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final plat approval for Florida Beach Resort. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously granted final plat approval for Florida Beach Resort, as recommended by staff. I.

County Owned Land Swab The Board reviewed memo from General Services Director Sonny Dean dated October 25, 1994: DATE: OCTOBER 25, 1994 - - TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THRU: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTO DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES SUBJECT: COUNTY OWNED LAND SWAP BACKGROUND: On October 4, 1994, the Board approved a land swap between Indian River County and Timber Ridge, Inc. In accordance with Florida �1 _ State Statue, the subject transaction was advertised and a resolution is hereby attached as required by the law. ANALYSIS: Timber Ridge, Inc. has agreed to pay for all cost associated with surveys and paperwork. The County will pay for their own title insurance. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval and requests authorization for the Chairman to execute the attached resolution. Donald Smith, resident of Timber Ridge, recounted that he and his neighbors have been subjected to recent governmental actions which were distasteful to them and which impacted on their properties. He was concerned that the subject land swap could bring about an enlargement of the transfer station operation. He was given information that the County has no plan to enlarge the transfer station, but he asked for assurance from the Board to substantiate that information. Mr. Smith stated that he and his neighbors use the trash transfer station, but they do not want that operation moved closer to their area. Administrator Chandler confirmed that we have absolutely no plan to expand or enlarge or modify the Oslo transfer station. The owner of- a 3.5 -acre parcel which abuts the transfer station inquired whether we would be amenable to a swap of that parcel for a parcel on the west side of Lateral J. The County has no need for the property west of-.Lateral.J and the 3.5 -acre parcel added to the site will square off the boundary. It was a simple land swap and we have absolutely no plan to change that operation. 10 November 1, 1994 Mr. Smith asked whether the transfer station will continue in operation, and Administrator Chandler responded that for the immediate future we will continue operating that transfer station. The only possible change would take place if we were to go to countywide mandatory trash collection. Chairman Tippin explained that the Board makes the assurance, but the Department of Environmental Protection may make changes in the new rules which we must follow. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 94-140 authorizing the exchange of real property. COUNTY DEED IS RECORDED IN THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AND A COPY IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD RESOLUTION NO. 94- 140 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE EXCHANGE OF REAL PROPERTY.

Acceptance of Vero Beach Deed of Easement for Utility System for Vero Highlands The Board reviewed memo from County Attorney Charles Vitunac dated October 24, 1994: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Charles P. Vitu , County A orney DATE: October 24, 1994 RE: Acceptance of Vero Beach Deed of Easement for Utility System for Vero Highlands The Department of Utility Services has requested that the City of Vero Beach give an easement to the County for use of one of the City's electrical easements as part of the County utility system, and the City has agreed to do so subject :to certain conditions. The conditions are that the County remove its utility systems if required and pay $1200.00 per year per mile beginning 1/5/95 for the use of the right of way. Requested Action: Staff recommends County acceptance of the City easement and authorization for the Chairman to execute same. Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien recounted that in February of 1992 the City -of Vero Beach asked for and received an easement for power lines over County property. Then Commissioner - Scurlock made a motion to charge the City $1,500 per year for the easement, and_the Board passed that motion. Prior to that the County and the City would grant easements to each other with no conditions. Recently the Department of Utility Services requested an easement and the City agreed to grant that easement subject to a payment of $1,200 per year. Attorney O'Brien reported that he and Assistant Director of Utilities Services Harry Asher approached the City to see if they would accede to reverting to the old procedure. Vero Beach City Manager Tom Nason explained that the only reason the City required the $1,200 fee is because of the County's $1,500 fee. Attorney O'Brien suggested that the Board reform the easement of 1992 to remove the fee. The City will then remove their fee from this easement, and it will promote intergovernmental harmony and remove some bookkeeping. FAU 15 BOOK 664 November 1, 1994 BOOR( ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the recommended alternate suggested by Attorney O"Brien to reform the 1992 easement granted to the City of Vero Beach by deleting the condition which required the City to pay -the County $1,500 per year.

Chandler County Administrator DI ION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M. es1-7 Rting,lint AICP Community Developm D ctor THROUGH: Stan Boling.. Planning Director FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP /TW vw Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: October 24, 1994 - SUBJECT: National Health . Corp. L.P.Is Request for Special Exception Use Approval to Construct an Adult Congregate Living Facility.(ACLF) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of November 1, 1994. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: Carter Associates, Inc. has submitted an application for concurrent special exception use and major site plan approval on behalf of National Health Corp. L.P. to construct an adult congregate living facility (ACLF) for the elderly. ;The applicant is requesting - approval to construct the 168 unit (216 bed) facility in two phases, with 84 units (108 beds) in each phase. Recently, the subject property was rezoned from RS -6 to RM -8; the RM -8 district allows ACLFs, such as the one proposed, as a special exception use. The subject property is located approximately 1,000' north of 37th Street on the west side of Indian River Boulevard (see attachment #2) . - Pursuant to Section 971.05 of the LDRs, the Board of County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use based on the submitted site plan and suitability of the site for that use. The Board may approve, approve with conditions or deny the special exception use request. The County may attach any conditions and safeguards necessary to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area. At its October 13, 1994 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve - the special exception use request, and approved the major site plan application with conditions and subject to Board of County Commissioners approval of the special exception use request. Thus, if the Board approves the special exception. use request, the conditional major site plan approval - will become effective.- ffective.- ANALYSIS-.--- ANALYSIS: 1. 1. Size of Property: -Gross Area: 18.32 acres Limits of Development:. -'Phase I: 7.81 acres Phase II: 2.02 acres Overall: 9.83 acres 32 November 1, 1994 2. Zoning Classification: RM -8, Residential Multi -Family (up to 8 units per acre) __-- 3. Land Use_Designation: M-1, Medium Density 1 (up to 8 units per acre) 4. Density: Density for an ACLF project is determined by the formula contained in section 971.28(3), which converts the normal units per acre measurement into a people per acre measurement, based on the project acreage and zoning, and upon the zoning of surrounding properties. The ACLF "density" formula is as follows: (Number of allowable units) X (2 people per unit) X 1.5 = maximum number of people Based upon the project proposal, the density formula for this project is as follows: (78.64 allowable units X 2 people per unit) X 1.5 = 235.92 or 235 people (beds) for the total project. Number of beds/people allowed: 235 Number of beds/people proposed: 216 5. Open Space: Required: 30% Proposed: 50% 6. Off -Street Parking: Required: Phase I: 54 spaces Provided: Phase I: 74 spaces Required: Phase II: 108 spaces Provided: Phase II: 108 spaces Note: Phase II figures are for project build -out. 7. Phasing: The project will be constructed in two phases with 108 beds being provided in each phase. Some Phase I improvements (parking) overlap a portion of the Phase II area of development. Therefore, there will be some redevelopment of the Phase'I site with the development of Phase II. All access and drainage improvements required for the overall project will be constructed with Phase I. 8. Traffic Circulation: The site plan proposes access to Indian River Boulevard. This proposed access has been approved by the county engineering and traffic engineering divisions. A shared driveway connection to Indian River Boulevard for the subject property and the property to the north was approved and provided for during right-of-way acquisition for the Boulevard. During construction of the Boulevard, a median cut and driveway apron for this common driveway were constructed. Ultimately, this common driveway is intended to serve the subject property and the property immediately north. This project's driveway design accommodates and uses the common driveway. To facilitate the access and driveway design as proposed by the applicant and agreed to -by staff, the project property owner will need to execute a cross access easement, acceptable to - the County Attorney's Office, which establishes legal access and use of the common driveway by owners of the subject property and the property immediately north. Prior to site plan release, this cross access easement must be executed and recorded. an 33 BOOK PAU November 1, 1994 BOOK The driveway design and the internal circulation• plan have been approved by the County Traffic Engineer, subject to the cross access easement agreement referenced above. 9. Stormwater Management Plan: The stormwater management plan has been approved by the County Engineering Department, and the applicant will be required to obtain a Type "B" stormwater permit prior to site plan release. 10. Utilities: The project will receive water and wastewater services from the County -Department of Utility Services. These utility provisions have been approved by the Environmental Health Department and the County Department of Utility Services. 11. Dedications and Improvements: The applicant -has submitted a -- traffic -traffic impact analysis of the project and has obtained - approval of the analysis from the County Traffic Engineer. Based upon the approved analysis, certain off-site traffic improvements are required, including acceleration and deceleration tapers for the project driveway on Indian River Boulevard. The tapers will need to be constructed prior to the issuance of a C.O. (certificate of occupancy) for Phase I of the project. 12. Concurrency: The developer has executed a concurrency agreement, stating that the developer will obtain an initial - - concurrency certificate prior to the issuance of a building permit. This agreement satisfies the project's concurrency requirements related to site plan approval. 13. Environmental Issues: The site was previously a citrus grove; therefore, there are no native uplands on site, and the upland set aside requirements of MDR section 929.05 do not apply. However, there is a small isolated wetland (28,314 sq. ft.) on the site which has been claimed by the St. Johns River Water Management District as a jurisdictional wetland. The proposed development will fill and impact the wetland; therefore, the developer will be required to obtain a county wetland resource permit prior to site plan release. The wetland resource permit will require mitigation necessary to off -set the impacts of the proposed filling. 14. Specific Land Use Criteria: The following specific land use regulations apply.to ACLFs: (d) Criteria for group homes: Level I, II, III and residential centers and adult congregate living facility. Group homes shall be distinguished by their resident capacity as follows: 1. Level I group home or ACLF, up to eight (8) residents including caretaker(s) per shift); _.2. Level II group home or ACLF, up to twelve (12) _ residents including caretaker(s) per shift; 3. Level III group `home or ACLF, up to twenty (2 0) residents including caretaker(s) per shift; and 4. Residential centers or ACLF (not Level I, II, or - III), twenty-one (21).;or more residents including caretaker(s) per shift. 34 November 1, 1994 (e) Those --group homes or ACLFs whose residents are service dependent persons requiring special protection or custodial care in order to meet their emotional and/or physical needs must meet all licensing requirements from the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services of the State of Florida. 1. The use shall satisfy all applicable regulations of the State of Florida and Indian River County as currently exist; 2. The approving body shall determine that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in terms of land use intensity. The maximum allowable land use intensity shall be computed as follows: a. Regarding single family zoning districts: (number of allowable dwelling units) X (2.5 residents per dwelling unit) X 1.5 = maximum number of residents allowed b. Regarding multi -family and commercial zoning districts: (number of allowable dwelling units) X (2 residents per dwelling unit) X 1.5 = maximum number of residents allowed. In°no case shall the maximum number of residents allowed on a project site exceed the average maximum number of residents allowed (as calculated by the above formula) on adjacent sites bordering the project site. Averaging for adjacent sites shall be based upon length of the common border between the.project site and the adjacent site. 3. To avoid unsafe or unhealthy conditions that may be produced by the overcrowding of persons living in these facilities, a minimum floor area per person shall be required. Floor area requirements shall be measured from interior walls of all rooms including -closet space. a. Total interior living space. A minimum of two hundred (200) square feet of interior living space shall be provided per facility resident. Interior living space shall include sleeping space and all other interior space accessible on a regular basis to all facility residents. =b. Minimum sleeping areas. A minimum of eighty (60) square feet shall be provided in each .sleeping space for single occupancy. A minimum of sixty (60) square feet of sleeping space shall be provided for each bed in a sleeping space for multiple occupancy. C. Bathroom facilities. A full bathroom with toilet,. -sink and tub or shower shall be provided for each five (5) residents. 35 �� r 63. November 1, 1994 4. To avoid an undue concentration of group care facilities in one area, all. such facilities shall be located- at least one thousand two hundred (1,200) feet apart, measured from property line to property line. 5. If located in a single-family area, the home shall have the appearance of a single-family home. Structural alterations or designs shall be of such a nature as to -preserve the residential character of the building.- 6. uilding. 6. If located in the AIR -1 zoning district, the site - shall have an L-1—land use designation. 7. The facility shall satisfy all applicable off- street parking requirements of Chapter 954. The facility shall meet or exceed all open space requirements for the respective zoning district. 8. The maximum capacity of such facilities shall not exceed the applicable number permitted by the department of health and rehabilitative services. 9. Group home permits are transferable. If the type of -resident/client changes or the resident capacity increases to such an extent that it would raise the facility to a higher level group home as distinguished by the definition, the facility must be reevaluated for an administrative permit or special exception approval. All specific land use criteria have been satisfied. 15. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: South: East: West: RECOMMENDATION: Groves/RS-6 ` Medical Services Subdivision/MED Groves, Wetland/RM-8 Groves/RS-6 Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant special exception use approval for the proposed ACLF facility. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Dean Luethje, representing Carter Associates, Inc., stated that he was available to answer questions. The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be heard and thereupon closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously granted special exception use approval for the_ proposed Adult Congregate Living Facility as set out in staffs memorandum. 36 November 1, 1994 PUBLIC DISCUSSION - FRANK ZORC REQUEST TO SPEAK - REGARDING PROPERTY TAX EXEI 1MONS FOR NON PROFIT CORPORATIONS The Board reviewed letter from Frank L.

RK ttavwwi 37 POOK PAGE � November 1, 1994 F_ Boor 93 pAu 707 Mr. Zorc reminded the Board that he appeared at the October 4, 1994 BCC meeting, at which time the Board decided to explore this matter with Property Appraiser David Nolte. He requested that the Board proceed to file for a declaratory judgment regarding the public's right to view documents filed by non-profit entities to qualify for a tax-exempt status. Mr. Zorc quoted from Florida Statutes and was concerned that the Property Appraiser was not - following the law. He wanted the right to see if the law is being followed. He repeated his offer of $500 towards the cost of filing fees and miscellaneous legal costs. Attorney Jim Wilson, 3625 20th Street, representing Frank L. Zorc, agreed that the issue of public access to these documents is of great public importance. He stated that Mr.-Zorc has been denied the ability to review records filed in' the Property _. Appraiser's office by an entity that claims to be non-profit and filed for tax-exempt status. He opined that the documents are public record and that this- particular entity may represent just the tip of the iceberg. Mr. Wilson felt that the County is in a position to go into Court and ask for a declaratory judgment because the County is the body which receives the tax dollars that would be paid if these exemptions were not granted. The County has an obligation to the taxpayers who pay additional taxes to compensate for these people who do not pay taxes through the exemptions. The County has standing to ask for a broad, sweeping decision by the Court to give the public access to the records on an overall basis. Mr. Wilson asked the Board to address the issue of automatic renewal of exemptions as well. Mr. Nolte advised the Board that even though the statute does not require it, he requires an annual renewal from the wholly - exempt properties. He further advised that two statutes and the Administrative Code clearly state that the information which applicants provide on the returns which enable the Property Appraiser to determine exemptions is exempt from the public records law. There is no case law on this issue because the law is perfectly clear. Commissioner Eggert asked whether the Property Appraiser could provide a list of these non-profit tax-exempt entities to the Board during the budget hearings. Mr. -Nolte responded that- a list of non-profit tax-exempt entities certainly could be provided because that is public record, but the tax returns and other financial information are not public record, and _he is bound by law -to keep this confidential. Commissioner Bird stressed that Mr. Nolte is an elected official who must follow rules. He has determined that -certain MM November 1, 1994 _ M M properties are tax-exempt and that the exemption return information is confidential and privileged information. County Attorney Vitunac stated that as an elected independent constitutional -officer, Mr. Nolte has the responsibility to run his office, and he is answerable to the electorate. . If there is a problem or a perceived problem, the law provides for a citizen to sue, and if that citizen wins the case, he is reimbursed for all the costs of filing the suit. If the County were to file for a declaratory judgment, it would be two governmental bodies suing each other, and the taxpayers would bear the burden for both. .Attorney Robert Jackson, representing the Property Appraiser, stated that in 1989 he asked for and received an opinion regarding public records from the Attorney General. That opinion contained a footnote which stated that financial records relating to non - homestead property when such records are required to make a determination as to the classification or value of the taxable property are confidential and may not be divulged to any person or corporation except as provided in the law. Florida Statute 143.074 states that all returns of property submitted by the taxpayer pursuant to law shall be deemed to be confidential in the hands of the Property Appraiser, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, the Department of Revenue, the Tax Collector and the Auditor General, except upon court order. Al Vilardi, 445 Georgia Boulevard, Sebastian, one of a group of citizens in the audience who interested in the same subject, stated that there is an organization in the north county that has quite a bit of property. He claimed that people are living there, paying rent, running businesses and receiving all the benefits of the County, while paying no property taxes. He stated that there should be stringent limits in the applications. Mr. Nolte.assured the Board that his investigator checks all applications -as thoroughly as possible within reason and cost limits. Every time a taxpayer makes a report, his employees check it out. He stated that his employees checked the organization in question on several occasions. If anyone has information, all they have to do is call his office and it will be followed up. Reith Miller, 961 Riviera Avenue, claimed that sewer and water lines were constructed down CR -512 to 102nd Avenue to property owned by the organization under discussion. The lines went past _ his house but he was not connected and he felt that was unusual. Commissioner Eggert explained that the sewer and water lines - were as a result of the recommendation by the Economic Council to construct sewer and water lines to I-95 at the intersections of Oslo Road, SR -60 and CR -512. BOOK `43 FmLAP November 1, 1994 BOOK 3 Commissioner Macht maintained that the issue is whether the public has a right to review the tax exemption -related documents. l He saw nothing wrong with making an inquiry on the law by filing for a declaratory judgment. He felt that the Board was obligated to investigate this issue. Commissioner Bird did not --agree, and wanted to follow the - advice of the County Attorney, that we not get into a lawsuit with one of our constitutional officers who is upholding the law. Mr. Zorc clarified that he is not suggesting a court battle, merely an interpretation of existing law. He reiterated Mr. Wilson's comment that it is better for the Commission to ask for a declaratory judgment than an individual to do so. Chairman Tippin was concerned because there must be limits. _. We do not want to investigate all religious groups. He thought the important thing is to be sure the law is followed. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, to seek a declaratory judgment regarding the public's right to view documents filed by persons asking for an exemption from ad valorem taxes. Under discussion, Attorney Vitunac suggested that the Board authorize him to prepare a formal legal opinion, which the Board could consider in making a decision whether to file for a declaratory judgment. Discussion ensued regarding the Board's procedural options. COMMISSIONER MACHT AMENDED HIS MOTION to authorize staff to present a report on the validity of Mr. Zorc's claim. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. PUBLIC DISCUSSION - PIPER AIRLINES BANKRUPTCY Attorney Paul Singerman, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, Piper Aircraft's lead bankruptcy counsel, pointed out that Piper's President and Chief Operating Officer Charles Suma was present in the audience, along with other interested parties. He reported the - activity leading up-. to the. -proposed settlement agreement. He announced that Piper has reached a settlement with the tax certificate holders, conditioned upon approval of the Board. Mr. 40 November 1, 1994 Singerman realized that the Board's most significant concern was for the County's exposure regarding the tax certificate holders. He characterized the settlement as sensitive to the Commission's and the County's legitimate concerns. The -settlement Mould avoid further delay in payment of taxes and avoid additional legal fees. On behalf of Piper, Mr. Singerman requested the Board to take whatever action is appropriate and necessary to approve the settlement which was previewed by County Attorney Charles Vitunac. Attorney Vitunac confirmed that staff previewed the settlement agreement and no one has any objection, with the proviso that it be reviewed by the bankruptcy expert who was hired by Property Appraiser Nolte. He reported that the School Board's attorney, Russell Petersen, indicated that it was a good settlement, subject to review by the bankruptcy expert. Attorney Vitunac pointed out that there is a clause in the agreement which makes it null and void if the bankruptcy judge does not approve and order the settlement agreement. He recommended that the Board approve the settlement agreement with Piper Aircraft. Administrator Chandler advised that the settlement involves a reduction in the assessed values and a reduction in the interest rate from 18 to 10 percent. The amount that was previously due the County was $886,434.94 and under the settlement we would receive $620,504.46, which is approximately 70 percent. He noted that staff was concerned about the differential in the dollar amount that we will collect, but the settlement agreement as presented would provide a lump sum payment and avoid the uncertainty of court procedures and payouts over a period of time. Administrator Chandler pointed .out that the Board -cannot speak for the other taxing districts and was not sure how the attorneys would handle that. Attorney .Samuel J. Zussman, Jr., Maguire Voorhis & Wells, representing -Property Appraiser Nolte, stated that the obvious advantage of the settlement agreement is that if it is approved by the bankruptcy court and not appealed, the County will receive the money rapidly. He confirmed that if the litigation continued it could mean 5 to 10 years before the County would be paid in full. He recommended a modification to the settlement agreement to include a clause that if there is an appeal of the approval of the settlement which would preclude Piper from making payment immediately, the County could then withdraw from this settlement at its option. He felt that option should be reserved in the event there is an appeal by one of the creditors. He further explained that the tax certificate holders would be signatories to the settlement agreement. 41 BOOK u� PAf November 1, 1994 F_ Boa W PAIGE 711 Mr. Singerman added that all the entities who could appeal are supportive of the settlement agreement, and Piper has no objection to the clause recommended by Mr. Zussman. Indian River County Schools Superintendent Roger Dearing advised that he entrusted Mr. Nolte's attorney to represent the School District, and the School -Board members agree that immediate settlement is important. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the settlement agreement with the additional clause recommended by the bankruptcy expert. VMO BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT REQUEST FOR 911 SURCHARGE FUNDING TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINT (PSAP� The Board reviewed memo from Emergency Services Director Doug Wright dated October 12, 1994: TO: Honorable Board of County, Commissioners THROUGH: Jim Chandler, ounty Administrator - FROM.

The equipment requested is designed to facilitate the special handling of money by his cashiers. The architect, Pierce Goodwin Alexander and Linville, (PGA&L) was originally charged with the responsibility of meeting with the Clerk, specifying a safe that would meet the need, -and establishing a line item budget. The budget submitted to this office was $1,200 for this area of concern. HoweV'er, the equipment requested by Mr. Barton will cost $10,668.35. ANALYSIS: - Since the amount is in excess of our authorized budget and the cost exceeds our bid requirement, staff is requesting action by the Board, to allow us to proceed. RECOMMENDATIONS: Should this request be approved, the monies will come from the construction budget contingencies. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved additional funds to purchase cash drawers and safe for the Clerk's office in the new courthouse as set - out in staff's memorandum. 44 November 1, 1994 ENGINEER DESIGN SERVICES, KINGS HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS The Board reviewed memo from Capital Projects Manager Terry Thompson dated October 26, 1994: TO: James Chandler County Administrator TERODOE: James W.

Instead of managing multiple engineering service contracts, staff proposes including all design work associated with Kings Highway in one contract. If the design was divided into smaller projects, the total project design cost would be greatly increased. Staff conducted CCNA procedures in February 1994. The Board of County Commissioners approved the -following selection committee ranking on March 15, 1994: 1. Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc./H.F. Lenz 2. Regional Engineers, Planner's and Surveyors, Inc. - 3. Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, Inc. Of the three short-listed firms Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc./H.F. Lenz had the lowest man-hour estimate based on. the preliminary scope of services contained in the Request for Proposal. Over the past seven months, staff has worked closely with Kimley- Horn to define the project scope. During the negotiation process over 2200 hours were eliminated from the man-hour schedules by standardizing the side street bridges, reducing the scale of the pavement marking plans and increasing the distance between cross- sections. The final negotiated design cost of the project elements are summarized below: Design Survey Bridge Design Roadway Design SUBTOTAL Expenses 10% $ 87,230 $ 295,000 S 526.860 $ 909,090 $ 90,910 Environmental.Permitting and Agricultural Coordination Allowance $ 40,000 Geotechnical Allowance Aerial Photography Allowance $ 50,000 SAL $1,125,000 - On previous consultant contracts the County has dealt directly with sub -consultants for geotechnical services and aerial photography. Due to the large scope -of -work on this project, staff felt it would be beneficial to maintain a single point of contact between the consultant and sub -consultants. For.this reason the contract includes not-to-exceed".allowances for geotechnical services and aerial photography. - 46 November 1, 1994 M The contract also includes an allowance for environmental Permitting and agricultural coordination. The preparation of all environmental permit applications is included in the lump sum component of the contract. The not -to -exceed allowance is intended to cover follow up coordination work beyond the lump sum_scope of services. Staff contacted the Florida Department of Transportation Consultant Management Division and obtained a copy of a contract they have for the design of Griffin Road in Broward County from 100th Avenue to SR -7. The project was competitively bid (no CCNA) in 1988. The scope of work for the roadway design is similar to the Kings Highway Project. The roadway design cost for Griffin Road is 13.6% higher than our negotiated roadway design cost for King's Highway. Staff also compared the design cost with fourteen Brevard County projects and found Kimley-Horn's fee of $127,692 per mile (including all allowances b1it, excluding bridges) to be below Brevard's average design cost of $146,703 per mile. This is the largest engineering services agreement ever proposed by the Public Works Department, as well as the largest construction cost project we have ever undertaken.° The projected construction cost of this project is $9,950,000.00. This estimate does not include right-of-way costs or costs for elevating the road above the 100 year flood plain if required by the permitting agencies. The time for completion of the 90% design drawings, permit applications, and Engineer's Opinion of Probable Construction Cost is eighteen months. Phase I construction is anticipated to be advertised for bid in FY 1997/98. The alternatives are as follows:_ Authorize the Chairman to execute the Agreement'as written. Re -negotiate contract terms. -- Staff Staff feels confident that the attached contract has been negotiated in the County's best interest and recommends approval of Alternative No. 1.

CONTRACT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD CITY OF SEBASTIAN UTILITY SYSTEM mu ^717 The Board reviewed memo from Utility Services Director Terry Pinto dated October 25, 1994 and letter from .Sebastian City Manager Joel L. Koford dated October 25, 1994: - DATE: October 25, 1994 :, TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: TERRANCE G. PINT DIRECTOR OF UTILI SERVICES PREPARED HARRY E. ASH AND STAFFED ASSISTANT DI �R OF'. UTILITY SERVICES BY: SUBJECT: CITY OF SEBASTIAN UTILITY SYSTEM BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The Department of Utility Services has received,. through Mr. James E. Chandler, County Administrator, a letter of proposal from the City of Sebastian's, City Manager, Joel Koford, authorized by the -- City Council offering the sale of the City Utility System and establishing a thirty (30) year franchise agreement. (Copy Attached). The franchise would be "to provide potable water distribution and wastewater collection for the City of Sebastian". RECOMMENDATION The staff - of the Department of Utility Services has no recommendation at this time and requests direction from the Board _ of County -Commissioners in this matter. 48 November 1, 1994 City Of Sebastian - - -. 1225 MAIN STREET a SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32958 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 o FAX (407) 589-5570 October 20, 1994 53 Mr. James Chandler Indian River County Administrator 1940 25th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 Dear Jim: The City Council has authorized me to contact Indian River County and determine whether or not the County would be amenable to a proposal from the City of Sebastian. This proposal is in regards to the water distribution and wastewater collection systems of the City utility system. Our proposal includes the sale and transfer of all the assets of the City utility system and establish a thirty (30) year franchise arrangement with the Indian River County Utility Department to provide potable water distribution and wastewater collection for the City of Sebastian. As you know, the City recently purchased the General Development Utility (GDU) winch consists of water and wastewater treatment facilities. However, the County, because of the size of its utility system can obtain economies of scale which are not available to the City. It is our opinion, that the future needs of the citizens of Sebastian and the North County area can best be served by a common single managed utility. In this regard, we propose the following: (1) Transfer of Current Assets: $ 311650,000 (2) Transfer Indian River Drive Water 'Distribution Project Estimated Value: $ 750,000 (3) Cash Contribution: $ 600,000 This propos is subject to arrangements being formalized whereby the City can defease the utility bond issue and the agreement reduced to writing and obtaining the approval of the City Council, City Attorney and Bond Counsel. The City requests that if you are interested in this proposal that you also consider the possibility of maintaining a satellite office within the City for customer service functions. Additionally, we currently have six (6) employees that would be effected by the transfer, and could be available for employment with the County. 49 November 1, 1994 BOOK PA6L fi BOOK PAGE My staff and I are available to provide the supporting documentation necessary for your review or to meet with you and your staff. I am also enclosing a copy of the current final _ year budget for our Utilities. Thank you for your interest in this matter of mutual concern. Sincerely, L.� O oel ford City Manager Commissioner Adams asked about potential costs, and Director Pinto responded that there would be several phases of cost. We must analyze the bond issued through the City of Sebastian, which will involve our budget department and bond counsel. Some engineering is required to redesign our system and review the Utilities Master Plan, which will be done by staff. He estimated the cost would be approximately $100,000. Commissioner Macht asked, and Director Pinto responded that he believed it would be in the best interests of Sebastian and the County for us to reassume the franchise, and he felt it can be done without hurting the existing customers of the utility systems. Administrator Chandler noted that the significant issue will be the terms of the bond. We also must look at the cost and condition of the existing system, along with any commitments or liabilities. We simply do not know the various aspects, and we must have our bond counsel, among others, review the debt aspect. Commissioner Bird preferred to perform the analysis and fact finding in stages to avoid making a major commitment of money. He felt it would be in everybody's best interest to consolidate that water treatment plant into our overall system, but we want it to work for the benefit of the citizens of north county, the City of Sebastian, and the existing customers of our utility system. Commissioner Eggert'noted that the review of the bond must be done in the early stage.. Commissioner Macht wanted a commitment from the City of Sebastian_ before we make any large manpower or financial commitment. All we have at this point is Mr. Koford's letter, and he preferred to have something more positive and definitive. Commissioner Bird pointed out that we have a letter signed by the City Manager authorized by the Sebastian City Council. Chairman Tippin indicated that staff could be directed to proceed to review the legalities as step one. 50 November 1, 1994 City.of Sebastian Mayor Arthur Firtion.came'before the Board and confirmed that Sebastian City Council unanimously (5-0) instructed Mr. Koford to approach the County with this item. The Sebastian City Attorney was involved and the proposal was forwarded to the County Administrator. Mayor Firtion personally felt it is a win-win situation for the County and for the City of Sebastian. Development in the North County will be delayed if the City of Sebastian manages the utilities. Chairman Tippin noted that this was not a public hearing but would allow comments from the audience. Harry Thomas, 654 Balboa Street, spoke of the impurities in the water and assumed the problem would be cured if the water treatment plant were managed by the County. He pointed out that the system would be expensive and should be paid for by the entire county rather than just the few residents in that small water district. Director Pinto confirmed that if the County takes control of the system, the problem would be eliminated immediately because we would eliminate the present treatment plant and connect to the _ County's reverse osmosis treatment plant. The issue of paying for the system would be included in the investigation to be sure that those who benefit from the system are the ones who pay for the system. However, once the system becomes part of the county -wide system, all operating and maintenance costs would be included in the county -wide rate structure. Reith Miller, 961 Riviera Avenue, recounted the history of the utilities in Sebastian and hoped that the County would take control of the utilities in the North County. - He commended Mr. Koford and the City Council for handling this problem in this manner. Ruth Sullivan, 1215 Indian River Drive, president of the Indian River Property Owners' Association, advised that there will be legal action taken against the City of Sebastian pertaining to the water lines along Indian River Drive. She understood a petition will be initiated to have a public vote in the City to retain the utilities as a City operation. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, to proceed with the legal aspect of acquisition. Under discussion, Chairman Tippin clarified that we will not spend any money other than to have the bond counsel review it. 51 BOOK PAfjE November 1, 1994 BOOK COMMISSIONER EGGERT AMENDED THE MOTION to include the expense of the services of bond counsel to review the acquisition. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. _ GIFFORD WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY AERATION MODIFICATION - FINAL PAY REQUEST The Board reviewed memo from Utility Services Director Terry Pinto dated October 17, 1994: DATE: OCTOBER 17, 1994 TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: TERRANCE G. PINT DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES PREPARED ROBERT O. WISEMEN, P.E AND STAFFED ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER 9 RN3 BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY S RVICES SUBJECT: GIFFORD WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY AERATION MODIFICATION FINAL PAYMENT REQUEST -- INDIAN RIVER COUNTY'PROJECT NO. IIS -93 -17 -CS BACKGROUND On April 12, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved and executed the agreement with R. A. Litkenhaus and Associates, Inc., to replace the aeration system for the Gifford Wastewater Treatment facility. The agreement was for services in the amount of $69,843.00. ANALYSIS The replacement of the aeration system is complete and in operation. The contractor has submitted his request for final payment in the amount of $23,624.00. The previous payment to the contractor was $46,219.00. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of —Utility Services recommends the approval o€ -the final payment in- the amount of $23,624.00 to R. A. Litkenhaus and Associates, Inc., for services rendered. 52 November 1, 1994 I ON_ - MOTION by Commissioner _.E_ggert,. ._ SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved final payment to R. A. Litkenhaus and Associates Inc., in the amount of $23,_624.00, as recommended by staff. FINAL PAYMENT REQUEST IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF CLERK TO THE BOARD CONSTRUCTION OF STORM GROVE ROAD Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien presented the following: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien - Assistant County Attorney—yPa DATE: October 19: 1994 RE: CONSTRUCTION ,OF STORM GROVE ROAD A developer's agreement was entered into on October 2, 1985, between Indian River County and Vero Sand Pines, a Florida general partnership, hereinafter "Sand Pines." The agreement had for its purpose the facilitation of the construction of Hawk's Nest Golf Course and at the same time it established, in the view of this office, legal obligations for the construction of a portion of Storm Grove Road. A memorandum prepared by this writer on this subject is attached. " By letter dated August 30, 1994 (copy attached) Robert A. Cairns Managing Partner of Sand Pines asked the County to "put into action the construction of Storm Grove Road to Lateral , G" to allow him to develop his property. On September -29, 1994 staff met with attorneys for Hawk's Nest and Bent Pines. It is the opinion of the attorney for Hawk's Nest that the County is under no legal obligation to construct Storm Grove Road for Sand Pines. This opinion differs from that of this office. (see attached memorandum) Whether the County has or does not have a legal obligation to build Storm Grove Road to serve Sand Pines is really a second question that may not need to be answered. The first question to be answered is whether the Board of County Commissioners wants Storm Grove Road constructed to serve Sand Pines. If the answer is yes that the Commission wants to build Storm Grove Road to serve Sand Pines, then whether there is or is not a legal obligation becomes moot. If the answer is no that there is no desire on the part of the Commission to build Storm Grove Road to serve Sand Pines, then whether there is a legal obligation to build the road becomes paramount. 53 BOOK PAL 144 November 1, 1994 BOOK PAL In view of the foregoing, staff asks that the Commission consider, without thought of any legal obligations, whether Storm Grove Road should be constructed to serve Sand Pines. To assist in this determination, Jim Davis Director of Public Works has provided the following information concerning the construction of Storm Grove Road. It is the Public Works Department's opinion that Storm Grove Road should be -extended to the 40 acre Vero Sand Pines Property for the following reasons: 1. The 57th Street ( Storm • Grove Road) corridor has been included on the County's thoroughfare plan for at least 10 years. 2. The existing railroad crossing serving Hawk's Nest is not serving the general • public but only the membership of Hawk's Nest. Railroad crossings are a valued commodity and public crossings should serve the general public. - 3. If the Vero Sand Pines property is developed into a residential community, the 57th Street roadway alignment will provide utilization of a public right-of-way which meets the "State of Florida Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for the Design-, Construction, and Maintenance of Streets and Highways." It will be difficult, if not impossible, to accommodate utilities, storm water management, and standard roadway within the 24' easement between the -existing railroad crossing and the Vero Sand Pines property. 4. The County has construction security to construct this section of Storm Grove Road. These funds will be utilized. If the Commission determines that' Storm Grove Road should be constructed to serve Sand Pines then staff will proceed in accordance with that determination. If the Commission determines that Storm Grove Road should not be constructed to serve Sand Pines then in view of the -difference in interpretation of the obligations under the developer's agreement between staff and the attorney for Hawk's Nest, it appears that this question can best be answered by the Courts under declaratory judgment procedures and staff recommends this approach. The purpose of a declaratory judgment is to determine rights and duties without having to resort to a tort or breach of contract as a prerequisite to a judicial determination. It is a relatively quick and inexpensive method of resolving doubt. Sand Pines and Hawks' Nest would be parties to this proceeding. A draft Complaint for Declaratory Judgment is attached for information. Recommendation: Staff* recommends that the Commission- direct staff to proceed to imitate permitting of a railroad crossing at Storm Grove Road and direct -Hawk's Nest to construct Storm Grove Road to Sand Pines in accordance with the developer's agreement or in the alternative authorize staff to seek a declaratory judgment as to the County's legal responsibilities under the developer's agreement. 54 November 1, 1994 L_ I I Commissioner Bird questioned having this item on the agenda because the Board discussed this item several months ago-, approved a transportation study and decided to defer making a decision until - the transportation study was complete. Attorney O'Brien explained that this item was placed on the agenda at the prompting of Mr. -Cairns and because the County Attorney's office is concerned about Mr. Cairns instituting legal action against the County. Commissioner Eggert expected this item to be discussed at the next Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) meeting, and she preferred to table the decision until after the MPO meeting. Commissioner Bird preferred to table it until we get the transportation study report. Director Keating advised that this item was scheduled for the November MPO agenda, but because of circumstances it had to be deferred to the December meeting. Commissioner Eggert noted that if the MPO decides the road should be constructed, that would resolve the matter. If MPO decides that it should not be constructed, the Board can take up the discussion before the end of the year. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously tabled this matter until the Board meeting following the December MPO meeting. REAM COURT ACTION REGARDING ACTING CIRCUIT Attorney Vitunac recounted that the Board directed him to _- contact the other counties in the district and the Florida Association of* Counties (FACo) regarding the appeal filed by L. B. (Buck) Vocelle, Jr., concerning Chief Judge Vocelle's assignment of County Judges to hear felony cases. He reported that the General Counsel for FACo, Bill Roberts, agreed that this was not a county issue. Mr. Roberts was aware of the circumstances and felt this was a State Court matter. Attorney Vitunac's Legal Assistant Lea Keller contacted the offices of the county attorneys in the other three counties in our circuit and none of them really knew about it, were too busy and did not have a budget to participate in any action. Attorney Vitunac repeated advice from a local judge that the County Commission should stay out of it. The recommendation from everyone is that it is not a County matter and that the Board not participate. Buck Vocelle has filed the appeal and the costs were waived for him. 55 BOOK �� PAGE X44 November 1, 1994 BOOK ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously declined to participate in the appeal filed by L. B. (Buck) Vocelle, Jr. TRANSIENT ANDIATACCINATION CLINICS - commissioner Eggert presented the following: TO: BOARD OF COUNTY CONN[ISSIONERS FROM: Carolyn K. Eggert, County Commissioner DATE: October 20, 1994 SUBJECT: Transient Animal Vaccination Clinics 93 PAa 6 f B' Concern has been expressed about the transient"animalclinics that have come into the county, especially on weekends, and set up in parking -lots, pet shops, etc. They administer vaccinations and have adverse effects on local veterinarian businesses. In addition, some of their newspaper ads invoke the name of the Humane Society, which is not working with them at all. Lastly, no medical history or follow-up is done on the animals. I would appreciate the Board's approval of an ordinance being prepared as soon as possible to prohibit these vaccination clinics, both for the protection of our animals and for the health of our small businesses. Commissioner Adams asked for clarification as to how temporary clinics are allowed. Community Development Director Bob Keating responded that we have two categories of temporary permits; one addresses transient merchants who set up their business on vacant property for six months or less, and a second category of temporary use permits covers activities that are accessory to an existing business. The animal vaccination people were given a temporary use permit to operate in conjunction with Cindy's Pet Center, and it was operated inside the building. Our regulations allow a temporary use permit for an activity that is conducted on a business site that is essentially accessory to that business as long as there is extra parking and all other facilities are on that site. Commissioner Eggert conceded that polishing collars might be accessory. -to a pet center, but -medical treatment did not fall in that category. Commissioner. gggert was concerned that there was no medical history'or follow up, and a dog died --because of this practice. 56 November 1, 1994 Commissioner -Adams was concerned.a.bout the medical aspect of this activity as well as the overall impact on _the local businesses. She pointed out that we do not allow roses to be sold on the side of -the road and we should worry about these outside veterinarians who are not registered or licensed. Commissioner Macht likened it -to physical examinations being performed in the hospital parking lot. Attorney Vitunac cautioned the Board against passing an ordinance which will only protect the economic viability of local veterinarians. We cannot base an ordinance on economics. It must be based on public health, safety and welfare. Dr. Michael Herman, West Side Animal Hospital on 10th Avenue, presented the following: 00,mmissioner Carolyn Eggert Doug Wrighli 4rector _ Emergency Services DATE: October 11, 1994 SUBJECT: Conversation with Dr. Neil Heskel, M.D., Regarding Veterinarian Discount Animal Vaccination Clinics Pursuant to your ' request, I spoke by phone with Dr. Neil Heskel ( 567- 4445) today. As you know, Dr. Heskel is the spouse of Linda E. Aiken, VMD (567-2929) who provides veterinarian services at The Animal Hospital located at 1849 20th Straet, Vero Beach. The main thrust of Dr. Heskel's concern related to the county permitting or allowing out of town discount vaccination clinics to occur within the county in parking lots, pet shops, etc., which has an adverse effect on local veterinarians businesses in terms of revenue loss. He also expressed dismay that adequate medical history of the animals is not available and medical examinations are not performed by personnel from the vaccination clinics before the vaccines are administered and this situation has resulted in one animal's death. He also stated the vaccinations are not administered in a -clean and sterile .environment. which is adverse to the future health of animals vaccinated. Dr. Heskel felt the Commission would not allow a medical doctor to set up a short term medical practice in a parking lot and he suggested some consideration should be given to the adoption of an ordinance which would preclude discount vaccination clinics unless and until they meet similar criteria as local -veterinarians have to comply with. Dr. Heskel requested that you consider asking the County Attorney to look into this matter to ascertain if an -ordinance could be drafted and public hearings held -to formalize some prohibition against this type of business activity in the county similar to what has been done relative to regulating the sale of flowers and vegetables. Based on quarterly meetings with the:].ocal veterinarians in the county, I feel substantial support exists for the Board to consider Dr.-Heskel's request. 57 BOOK mu November 1, 1994 BOOK 93 PAGE 72 7 Dr. Herman further explained that when an animal has an elevated temperature because of stress or illness, the vaccination is not effective. Pet owners assume their pets are protected against rabies when in fact they are not. That is hazardous for public safety and welfare. He felt that minimum requirements consist of sterile examining rooms which are cleaned between patients, washing of the hands, and an environment that is free from possible contamination. - - MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by .Commissioner Macht, to ask Attorney Vitunac and Director Keating along with Emergency Services Director Doug Wright to meet with veterinarians and present to the Board a recommendation -for an ordinance to protect our animal population. _ Under discussion, Attorney Vitunac pointed out that veterinarians are regulated by the State Department of Professional Regulation and those rules should be enforced vigorously. The County regulates businesses by zoning laws, occupational licenses and noise regulations, and we do not have the jurisdiction to tell doctors how to do their job. Dr. Denis Scarpinato, Pinewoods Animal Hospital, maintained that by issuing the permit the County is condoning the actions of these transient clinics. He asked the Board to require minimum standards; running water, bathroom facilities, and basic sanitation procedures. Veterinarians with offices in the county are required to have oxygen. He stated that we have animals that are not vaccinated properly and thoroughly, and there is the danger of communicating disease, not just pet -to -pet but pet -to -human. The City of Vero Beach requires these transient clinics to be within four walls, which gets them off the parking lot and out of the sun. Dr. Scarpinato stated that the corporation in question hires veterinarians and places the entire responsibility on the individual. If there is legal action, it is against the individual veterinarian, and when that veterinarian is gone, they hire another one. Commissioner Bird suggested that the way to handle this is to change our criteria for issuing a license for this purpose. We must require the applicant to demonstrate that procedures will be accomplished in an environment that meets certain criteria, as the doctors have mentioned, and prohibit treatment of animals on a card table in a_back parking lot. _ Attorney Vitunac agreed that it would be within the Board's jurisdiction to set planning and zoning criteria 58 November 1, 1994 COMMISSIONER EGGERT AMENDED THE MOTION to direct staff to develop criteria for issuance of a permit. Under discussion, Peter Yurkiewicz, resident of Fellsmere, suggested that the permit should have the requirement of being a satellite location of a permanent veterinary office, such as a van fully supplied with oxygen, water, and sanitation. Dr. Herman agreed that mobile hospitals are acceptable because they are well staffed and supplied. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES MEETING Commissioner Eggert urged everyone to attend the HRS meeting scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 14, because if our members do not show up, HRS assumes we have no problems here in Indian River County. She: urged people to show up and make statements regarding the mental health, physical health, substance abuse and other problems in this community that need to be addressed. Commissioner Macht stated that he distributed the information to the Junior League and to the Volunteer Action center. Commissioner Eggert urged the Board members to attend and to make phone calls reminding others about the meeting. + SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT The Chairman announced that immediately upon adjournment the Board.would reconvene sitting as the Board of Commissioners of the Solid Wa$t- Disposal District.
