C—Request for County Acceptance of Donation of Lot 2, Block 565,

County Administrator
HEAD CONCURRENCE:
Community Devel
FROM: Roland M. D@Blois, AICD
Chief, Environmental Planning
DATE: November 16, 1994
RE: Request for County Acceptance of Donation of
Lot 2, Block 565, Sebastian Highlands Unit 17,
for Scrub Habitat Conservation Purposes
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by
the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of November 22, 1994.
DESCRIPTION AND Oml®ITIONS
On September 27, 1994, staff received a letter from realtor John Ring, requesting
that the County accept title to an undeveloped single-family lot in Sebastian
Highlands for scrub conservation purposes (see attached). Donation of the lot,
now owned by Atlantic Gulf Communities (AGC), is proposed as mitigation to
satisfy U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) requirements regarding AGC
construction on another scrub property in the subdivision.
The lot proposed for donation, Lot 2, Block 565, Sebastian Highlands Unit 17, is
one of +180 Sebastian Highlands lots identified for county acquisition in
conjunction with a county -wide scrub jay habitat conservation plan (HCP). The
subject Lot 2 abuts approximately 15 acres of scrub habitat on School Board
property (Pelican Island Elementary School).
The subject Lot -2 is presently suitable habitat for scrub jays, and in fact is
part of occupied scrub jay territory. Maintaining the lot suitable as scrub
habitat is a low maintenance activity, with future maintenance consisting of
periodic (annual or less frequent) mechanical clearing, to "open up" scrub
vegetation to provide optimum habitat for scrub jays. Anticipating that other
adjacent lots will be acquired in conjunction with the HCP, Lot 2 will eventually
be managed as part of a bigger area of scrub, in coordination with the Fish and
Wildlife Service and the Division of Forestry.
REOO�IIO MATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners accept donation and title
of Lot 2, Block 565, Sebastian Highlands Subdivision Unit 17, for purposes of
scrub habitat conservation, subject to county attorney staff approval of title
documents for legal sufficiency.

PUBLIC HEARING -ORDINANCE ADOPTING NEW SECTION 304.09
OF THIN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY CODE
Attorney Vitunac explained that the reason for this emergency
ordinance is due to the transport of patients from Sebastian River
Medical Clinic back to their homes by the Micco Volunteer Ambulance
Service after a tornado spurred by Tropical Storm Gordon hit
Barefoot Bay mobile home community located in Brevard County.
NOVEMBER 22, 1994 16
Micco Volunteer Medical Service did not have a Certificate of
Convenience and Necessity from Indian River County, and the
Emergency Services District recently sent out letters of cease and
desist orders to out -of -county ambulance services. The State of
Florida agreed that our present ordinance on Certificates of Need
precluded that activity.
Attorney Vitunac advised that a 4/5's vote of the Commission
is required to waive a publication of notice of a public hearing,
which means with Commissioner Eggert's absence, it must be a
unanimous vote.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, that the Board waive the notice
of publication for consideration of the emergency
ordinance.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bird asked where we would draw
the line between contiguous and other counties, and Attorney
Vitunac explained that it applies to ambulance services in the four
adjoining counties. This was sort of a quick fix, but the Board
may want to open it up to all counties in Florida.
Eric Price -of Able Ambulance didn't see an emergency situation
to pass this ordinance today since there already are two licensed
companies who are doing this now. He stressed that emergency
service is available. He believed it would be better to follow the
regular procedures for adoption of an ordinance.
Deborah Kraus of Lifeline Medical Services in St. Lucie County
noted that they have had a Certificate of Need from Indian River
County in the past. Currently, more and more residents of St.
Lucie County are requiring that their medical assistance be
supplied by. Indian River County, but with the cease and desist
order, Lifeline cannot bring patients back to St. Lucie County.
Commissioner Macht commented that it seems pretty thin to him
that this is really an emergency situation.
Commissioner Adams felt we should allow the ambulance services
to continue to operate until we can get the ordinance restructured,
particularly the Micco Volunteer Service because it is the right
thing to do. We are not protecting anybody. We are not taking
money away from anybody.
Attorney Vitunac advised that if we limit the emergency
ordinance to a 90 -day period, it would give us time to restructure
NOVEMBER 229 1994 17

BOOK,
our present ordinance. Considering the upcoming holidays, the
public hearing could be scheduled for the first BCC meeting in
January, 1995.
Gary Burdsall, director of Able Ambulance, noted that just 3
months ago the Board tabled the matter of adding just one ambulance
company to those servicing Indian River County. He did not see
sufficient emergency to adopt an ordinance today.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
failed by a vote of 1-3, Commissioners Bird, Macht
and Tippin dissenting.
Chairman Tippin announced that the public hearing for the
adoption of the proposed emergency ordinance has failed to be added
to the Agenda.
Commissioner Eggert, watching the televised meeting from her
hospital room, phoned to say that she feels the Emergency Services
Committee should consider the matter again at their January
meeting.
Commissioner Bird preferred to. see it brought back as a
discussion item.
Tammy March of Holmes Regional Medical Center explained
procedures used by Holmes in utilizing ground services to pick up
patients transported by air service.
Commissioner Bird asked how we would identify those who
qualify for ground transport to air service, and Ms. Marsh
explained that in most cases a cardiologist would request that they
be on hand to assist in the transport.
Commissioner Bird was willing to consider an exception for
this because it was a lot different than the Micco Ambulance
Service giving a patient a free ride home from the hospital. He
wondered if there was a way to do that.
Emergency Services Director Doug Wright suggested that it kick
in once a cardiologist wants his protocols used in ground transport
to air service, and Ms. Marsh felt that would do it.
The Board indicated their unanimous agreement to consideration
of the emergency ordinance.
Chairman Tippin opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
Attorney Vitunac suggested that the ordinance be changed to
allow advanced life support ground transportation providers and
NOVEMBER 22, 1994 18
basic life support ground transportation non -emergency providers
who have a valid Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
from a county contiguous to and adjoining Indian River County to
originate service in IRC for inter -facility out -of -county, non-
emergency transfer when ordered by a receiving doctor in an
adjacent county, without having to have an IRC Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity. Any such service provider shall
notify the EMS Director of its intention to operate in this County
and shall provide copies of its Certificate to the Director for
verification before service is started.
Attorney Vitunac also suggested that the ordinance state that
it is in effect for only 60 days from November 22, 1994.
Gary Burdsall noted that Able Ambulance has offered to put
Holmes Regional teams on board their facilities and will be happy
to provide those facilities in the interim He just wanted to
offer that to help out.
Bill Koolage of Vista Gardens felt we have a real problem here
that should be referred to a workshop for input from the community.
He did not feel we should act on it so fast.
Deborah Kraus from Lifeline noted that they have applied for
a certificate from Indian River County and will be coming before
the Board in 60 days. Their request is scheduled to be heard
sometime in December and she felt something should be done to allow
them to proceed with the application process.
Eric Price from Able Ambulance suggested approval be given by
Emergency Services on an individual basis.
Gary Burdsall emphasized that Able Ambulance is not aware of
anybody who has had to wait for transport up to Holmes Regional.
He felt it would be a mistake to move too quickly today because the
companies that are here now are meeting the need.
There being no others who wished to be heard, Chairman Tippin
closed the public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, that the Board adopt Ordinance
94-33 with the language suggested by Attorney
Vitunac, stating that the ordinance will be in
effect for only 60 days from today.
Under discussion, Commissioner Macht understood that Emergency
Services Director Doug Wright would retain emergency powers in
these matters.

NEW COURTHOUSE CCTV/AUDIO - PRECISION CONTRACTING
SERVICES - AMENDMENT #2
Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien advised that Bruce
Boyd, project coordinator for PCS, is here this morning to explain
the miscommunication and misunderstanding in regard to the contract
for the "Typical Dolman System".
Bruce Boyd commented from the following letter dated November
16, 1994:

Assistant County Attorney

RE: Amendment 42 Contract for CCTV/Audio
Mr. O'Brien
After receiving notification of the concerns raised in your letter of November 2, I scheduled a meeting with
yourself which later led to a meeting with Mr. Jeff Barton, yourself and Mary Louise which ultimately led
to a meeting with Mr. Barton, Mr. H.T. "Sonny" Dean and yourself to discuss the circumstances surrounding
the above referenced amendment. I feel it necessary to layout once more the sequence of events that have
led to the current situation.
PCS, Inc. responded tcLaa Request for Qualifications for a Closed Circuit Video/Voice TVnsmission System
on Sept. 23, 1992 and entered into a Design/Build Contract to provide a fiber optic cable and lightwave
electronics for a single CCTV link between the existing Jail facility and the new Courthouse for a fee of not
to exceed $200,000.00. During 1993, at the request of Indian River County's Director of General Services,
Mr. H.T. Sonny Dean, PCS began attending the Courthouse advisory meetings which were held to deal with
all construction issues of the new courthouse.
During this time PCS was negotiating with suppliers to get the most from the $200,000 funding limit placed
on the system by the base contract. PCS also advised the committee on several issues ranging from conduit
placement inside the courthouse to CCTV equipment and cabling options to right of way acquisition and
permitting.
On June 6, 1993, PCS was in attendance in an advisory meeting where the issue of audio recording systems
was brought up and it was brought to our attention the funding for these systems was left out of the original
facility budget. Mr. Dean asked PCS to attend the meetings concerning the "recording" needs which were
outside the scope of our contract. PCS complied and received a letter by Keyword Associated, Inc., the
vendor of the existing audio recording systems, for an estimated cost of $280,000 to provide for the facilities
needs. On June 23, 1993, PCS wrote to Mr. Dean stating we would assist the County in procuring any of
the systems discussed at previous "Courthouse Advisory meetings" meetings for a 10% markup plus labor
at $35/hour and design/consulting fees of $50/hour. PCS later received a letter of June 24, 1993 from Judge
Vocelle requesting we attend a specific meeting on July 21, 1993 concerning the recording.needs and
alternatives of the facility. PCS attended the meeting and was asked to comment on the system presented
by Keyword. PCS acknowledged Keyword's viability but offered an alternative audio only recording system,
Stancil Corp., as well as the potential for audio/video recordings.

During the meeting Mr. Jeff Barton stated he was attending the Court Technology III Seminar in San Diego
and would make a trip to Stancil's facility to review their alternative. The minutes dated July 27, reflected
Keyword's proposed reduction in pricing to $28,000/room or $196,000 for a "mini -central" to record up to
8 participants excluding all transcription equipment and tapes. The minutes reflect that at present the Fourth
District of Appeals does not accept audio/video tapes, only transcriptions and a decision would be made after
Mr. Barton's return. The minutes also state the County Commission would provide the funding regardless
of the system agreed upon. PCS later received a letter from Mr. Dean conflicting the funding for the
recording needs but not the systems to be chosen. It was also made clear a bid for these needs would be
required before this dollar amount could be expended.
Upon Mr. Barton's return, Mr. Barton asked PCS to look into a business entity, Dolman Technologies. PCS
again complied and continued our consulting that was outside the scope of our contract. On August 5, PCS
wrote Mr. Dean to discuss several issues including a brief mention of our initial contact with Dolman
Technologies and reiterating any addition to our contract would be at 10% over outside costs, plus $35/hr
for PCS labor and $50/hr for consulting. PCS received a sales brochure from Ms. Deborah Dolman and
providing a letter to Mr. Dean on August 16, 1993 recapping 5 alternatives to solve the unfunded recording
needs of the new courthouse. PCS's first mention of Dolman systems was a unit COST of $60,000/room.
PCS received a letter from Mr. Barton dated Aug. 16, 1993 and was asked by Mr. Dean to attend a
demonstration of the Dolman system. Again PCS provided these services without billing to assist the County
in an unbiased review of the technology presented. At this meeting PCS witnessed a presentation of a
Dolman court reporting system. PCS asked several questions of the Dolman "team" and at the request of
the County provided information concerning the facility to Dolman and requested a quotation on the Dolman
systems. At this meeting, it was made clear the 4th and 5th VCR's could be added for the Attorney's benefit
and the Court Logging system was an extra to the AN system.
On Sept. 20, PCS forwarded to Mr. Barton and copied Mr. Dean a Sept. 6 letter penned by Dolman
Technologies referencing Dolman's reduction from $60,000/room to $52,895/room and detailing the items
to be included which were designed by Dolman after having performed the onsite demonstration.
PCS's letter also reiterated our fee of 10% for any addition to our contract desired by the County, the
estimated 5% fee to modify the cabling to accommodate the Dolman system and all of the "ars gratis"
services provided by PCS to review the various options the County had reviewed to solve the "missing" audio
recording needs in the courthouse.
After Mr. Dean's review of this letter, a meeting occurred in Mr. Dean's office to place a firm limit of
$250,000 on the system. PCS returned to our office and was very frank with Deborah Dolman in that the
County wanted the system designed and quoted by Dolman in the Sept. 6 letter; however the price would
have to allow for PCS's installation costs, PCS's 10% markup and still be under the $250,000 funding limit.
On October 6, 1993, Ms. Dolman revised her pricing structure but not her de igni to reflect "a sole -source,
non -bid price through PCS's contract". This document was sent under cover of PCS dated October 6 to Mr.
Barton and copied to Mr. Dean reflecting a price of $245,125 for the only system ever discussed for Indian
River County by Dolman and only forwarded by PCS to the County *for their review. Along with the only
option from Dolman's letter chosen, two transcription units for $4,620, totaling $249,745.00.
On Nov 18,1993, PCS and the County amended PCS' contract to increase the funding amount to provide for
increases in the fiber count, underground cable placement, a second CCTV station at the Jail, a. matrix switch
for the Courthouse -and assistive listening devices for the Courthouse. PCS had continuously been available
for any concerns or comments surrounding the A/V recording system BUT WAS NEVER APPROACHED
BY ANYONE FROM INDIAN RIVER COUNTY stating the DOLMAN PROPOSAL as being insufficient.
PCS was told the County would be forthcoming with a change to our contract for the A/V recording system
but the funding issue had to be worked out since it was never allotted for in the construction budget. On
February 9, 1994, FOUR months after our last communication on the issue we received a phone call from
Mr. Dean's secretary stating they needed "some description" of what the Dolman system was about in
order to prepare an agenda item in time for the board meeting agenda cutoff. PCS suggested the letters that
had been sent previously; however these letters did not "describe" the system ALTHOUGH THE DOLMAN
NOVE MER 22, 1994 24
LETTERS DID SPECIFICALLYLIST WHAT THE COUNTY WOULD BE GETTING. So after then
receiving a call from Mr. Dean, PCS went to the Dolman Sales brochure and faxed this information to Mr.
Dean to "get a description of the system" for use in preparing and agenda item; NOT TO NEGOTIATE IN
S MINUTES WHAT HAD TAKEN 9 MONTHS TO ACHIEVE.
PCS is GREATLY upset that County representatives, WITHOUT FIRST COMING TO PCS, started stating
to the onsite DOLMAN technicians that there were items missing from the system that PCS WAS TO
PROVIDE. PCS NEVER DESIGNED THE DOLMAN SYSTEM; we only forwarded the DOLMAN letters
under our cover for the County's review. Also, we find it disturbing that Mr. Barton took it upon himself
to request pricing for the additional DESIRED items and in doing so SEVERELY DAMAGED the
DOLMAN - PCS relationship for both the onsite installation interaction and for future sales opportunities.
After review of the change order page, the language is " The ESTIMATED cost of said system is $250,000".
This leaves a wide open door for the actual cost of the system. Also the language "The typical Dolman
Court System Specifications as provided by the Designer and as presented..." further seperates PCS from
this situation as PCS DID NOT DESIGN this system presented BUT DOLMAN.
Also, please note PCS provided services outside the scope of our contract at the County's request to review
the audio and sound reinforcement problems in the County's Chambers. Ultimately PCS provided, at NO
DIRECT COST to the County, but as a component cost of our Courthouse systems, an entire new
microphone system and reworked amplification for this facility.
We also feel it pertinent to bring to your attention at present several issues that were to have been present
in the Courthouse that were either omitted by the Contractor or altered due to engineering inconsistencies
that caused PCS to incur a great deal of additional labor and materials to accommodate the extensive systems
installed in the courthouse. First, the "space" designer of the courtroom disallowed our positioning for
cameras as desired for optimum operation. Second, after coming to some compromise here, PCS was told
the Judges monitors were to be recessed in the millwork at an angle that maintained a face/face view of
conference participants. Upon arriving to review the millwork, we find a "monitor elevator" had been chosen
and REPOSITIONED without any consideration to our systems. Third, an evidence board and special
lighting for this unit was added after PCS was "given" our compromise drawing showing the positioning of
the monitors in the Courtroom.- This required the monitors to be repositioned away from the intended
viewers (truly the most minor of all changes). Fourth, PCS was to be provided conduit to run from the
Courtroom to the Judge's Vestibule where the electronics were to be placed. An engineering redesign caused
our inplace cable plant to be relocated and in some cases replaced to move the electronics position to the
Secured Vestibule. Fifth, certain electronics that were to be provided to PCS by the Contractor
(microphones) have yet to arrive causing PCS to procure units to meet deadlines imposed by the County.
We find it completely unfathomable that any questions arose as to what was provided by DOLMAN upon
their arrival for the system installation. PCS has continued to approach the project professionally and wish
this letter to refresh and/or clarify the memory of the County as to the FACTS of the situation. We
appreciated the County's acknowledgement of "blame" in its first attempt to solve this situation by offering
to split the cost for modifying the system to the desires of Mr. Barton; HOWEVER PCS NEVER HAD ANY
PART IN THE MISUNDERSTANDING AND IS NOT FINANCIALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO DO
FREE WORK AND GIVE AWAY WORK AS WELL. We also appreciate Mr. Dean's recollection of the
facts concerning the
it item" issue as just a means to gain a description and not a 5 minute negotiated
change to a contract. We also BELIEVE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY would NEVER intentionally try to
damage a MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE who has provided SO MUCH for so little compensation
and in terms of our consulting time, NOTHING (as yet), We look to the County to do the RIGHT thing and
rescind your letter of November 2 and its implications and release the payment to PCS as approved by the
Project Coordinator.

RE: CCTV Revisions per Jeff Barton request
Mr. Dean
Subsequent to the changes initiated by Mr. Barton to the five Dolman systems, PCS submits for an
additional change order to our contract in the amount of $63,218.93. This reflects the quotation
presented by Dolman Technologies plus the same 5% for supervision and assistance labor plus 10%
for markup over Dolman's porposal of $54,735. This price does not reflect the cost of any tapes the
Court wishes to purchase.
As has been discussed and acknowledged by yourself, the original change for an "estimated
$250,000" was to cover those electronics presented in our both our Sept. 20 and October 6, 1993
letters detailing the electronics to be provided to the County. We appreciate the opportunity to
continue to enhance the Courthouse CCTV systems and will await the approved change order to
direct Dolman to proceed with the changes.
Please communicate at your earliest convenience whether the County wishes to proceed with these
changes.

Jeff Barton, Clerk of the Circuit Court, agreed that there is
some miscommunication and misunderstanding about the equipment we
were getting with the Dolman system. He stressed that he did have
some questions on the options that were listed in the September
1993 letter, which included the robot, the extra 2 VCRs in each
courtroom and a hearing-impaired system. Then the October 1993
letter showed that prices were escalating, and he assumed that the
amount of equipment was increasing also because prices usually go
down after negotiation, not up. He assumed that his requests to
General Services were being handled, and had not heard anything to
the contrary that he wouldn't be getting everything approved by the
Board on February 15, 1994.
Commissioner Bird asked if Mr. Barton was provided a copy of
the September 6, 1993 letter from Dolman Technologies written to
Bruce Boyd outlining exactly what the County would be getting for
$52,895 or provided a copy of the later letter which also outlined
exactly what equipment we would be getting for $45,000.
Administrator Chandler interjected that the October 12 letter
indicates that there had been further negotiations and a
substantial price reduction. There was no mention of a reduction
in the number of cameras, etc., other than what was attached.
Commissioner Adams felt there is enough vagueness involved
with the typical Dolman system not to warrant a court action in
this matter. She suggested that we determine the difference in the
equipment and decide what to do about it.
Commissioner Bird felt it was an unfortunate situation, but we
need to be assured that what is there is worth $45,400 and that it
is what Mr. Barton feels is needed to do the job without additional
personnel.
Commissioner Macht asked if we have the budgetary capability
to pay for the additional equipment, and Administrator Chandler
advised that it would come out of the sales tax capital courthouse
budget.
OMB Director Joe Baird. confirmed that we currently are running
$257,000 -below target on the courthouse.
Mr. Barton advised that the cost would be $48,900 per
courtroom which includes the wide-angle lenses on an additional
camera that will solve a multitude of problems. The current system
does not allow attorneys to get up from the bench nor allow a
witness to come down out of the witness stand and be captured on
video. The current system requires an additional person to take
notes as to who is talking and where they are talking from.
NOVEMBER 229 1994 28
M M M
Commissioner Adams asked if the additional cameras would
overload anything, and Mr. Boyd explained that the basic system
will handle approximately 12' inputs and we are looking at 8.
General Services Director Sonny Dean recommended that we use
the same contractor in order to avoid a finger -pointing situation.
Commissioner Adams asked Mr. Boyd if he was comfortable with
those figures, and Mr. Boyd stated that if the County wants to run
it through PCS, they would need to add 10% to cover overhead costs
and insurance.
Mr. Barton explained that with the wide-angle cameras, we
don't need the robot. The cost for the five courtrooms is $48,900
plus 10% for administration and installation which brings it up to
a total of $54,000.
Commissioner Adams suggested that we make it not to exceed
$60,000 just so we are covered, but Mr. Barton reiterated that he
did not want the robot so the total would be $54,000.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board, by a 4-0 vote
(Commissioner Eggert being absent), agreed to
purchase the additional items listed in the 11/7/94
letter to County Clerk Jeff Barton, minus the robot,
in the amount of $48,900, plus 10% consulting fee to
Precision Contracting Services, Inc. and to release
the hold on their invoice.

BASE GRANT AGREEMENT FROM EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
PREPAREDNESS AND ASSISTANCE TRUST FUND CONTRACT
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of November 9, 1994:
NOVEMBER 229 1994 29
BOOK PA,1k
BOOK W FAj;:c 846
TO: Honorable Boa d of County Commissioners
THROUGH: -Doug Wright Director
Department of Emergency Services
FROM: John King, EM Coordinator z�
Division of Emergency Management
DATE: November 9, 1994
SUBJECT: Approval of Base Grant Agreement from the Emergency
Management, Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund
Contract Number 95EO-3G-10-40-01-031
It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein
be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners
at the next regular scheduled meeting.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In 1993, the Florida Legislature enacted two significant pieces of
legislation to improve disaster preparedness a -ad response
capabilities throughout Florida. These bills, known as HB 911 and
SB 1858, strengthen emergency management planning requirements at
all levels, provide additional funding for emergency management
programs, and implements numerous additional recommendations of the
Governor's Disaster Planning and Response Review Committee.
Included in this legislation is a funding mechanism created for
local emergency management agencies and other programs in the
Emergency Management, Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund. The
funding comes from an annual non-refundable surcharge of $2.00 per
every homeowner's, mobile homeowner's, tenant homeowner's, and
condominium unit owner's policy, and an annual $4.00 non-refundable
surcharge imposed on every commercial fire, commercial multiple
peril, and business owner's property insurance policy, issued or
renewed.
Indian River County has received the above referenced contract
specifying that $67,424'in matching funds is available based on a
formula prescribed by law and detailed in Rule Chapter 9G-19,
Florida Administrative Code, and by certification of the County to
employ and maintain a full-time Emergency Management Director.
Although a total of $71,924 was allocated to Indian River County,
a deduction of $4f500 has been made by the state for satellite
communications costs per Section 9G-19.005 (3), Florida
Administrative Code.
Staff proposes to use the grant funds for the following purposes:
1. Continued funding of the Emergency Management
Planner position classified as an exempt grade
E-7 with an salary of $24,559 and the
additional expenses related to this position
of nearly $8,700 for an estimated total of
$33,259.
2. In anticipation of receiving this grant
funding for FY 94-95, staff submitted and
received approval during the budgeting process
for continuance of the 001-238 account.
NOVEMBER 22, 1994 30
3. Use the balance of the funds from the grant to purchase
capital equipment and supplement funds already identified
for office renovations in the Department of Emergency
Services which will be submitted to the Board in a
-subsequent agenda item during the fiscal year.
No additional funds are needed to qualify for this grant. it
should be noted that funds received from the Emergency Management,
Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund may not be used to supplant
existing funds.
ALTERNATIVE AND ANALYSIS
The Base Grant includes a scope of work that must be completed
during the term of the grant. It also provides certain computer
equipment to be used for satellite communications between the State
Emergency Operations Center and the Indian River County EOC. As
mentioned above and noted in the grant cover letter, a deduction of
$4,500 has already been made by the state for communications costs
per section 9G-19.005 (3), Florida Administrative Code.
This recent legislation now included in Chapter ,252, Florida
Statutes compels emergency management agencies to comply with the
following.
1. Work with the Department of Education and local school
board to develop new criteria designed to ensure that
new education facilities can serve as public shelters for
emergency management purposes.
2. Serve as liaison and coordinator of municipalities,
requests for state and federal assistance during
post -disaster emergency operations.
3. Identify and register persons in need of assistance and
plan for resource allocation to meet identified needs.
Disabled persons must be given the option of
preauthorizing emergency response personnel to enter
their homes during search and rescue operations if
necessary to assure their safety and welfare. Emergency
Management agencies must work with HRS, health care
agencies, community-based service providers, and home
health care providers to inform all their incoming
clients of the registry as part of the intake process.
4. Assist in surveying all schools, and other state,
municipal, and county owned public buildings to identify
those suitable to serve as shelters and those suitable to
be retrofitted for shelters using state funds.
5. Requires the local emergency management agency to review
the comprehensive emergency management plan for all
intermediate care facilities for the developmentally
disabled, facilities serving seven or more people, and
homes serving individuals who have complex medical
conditions. The local emergency management office must
ensure that, at a minimum, the following agencies and
organizations are given the opportunity to review the
plan: Department of HRS, Agency for Health Care
Administration, the Department of Community Affairs, and
appropriate volunteer organizations:- The coordination
process is handled at the local level by the EM agency
and all required reviews must be completed within 60
days.

The new statutory requirements regarding plan reviews noted above
is time consuming and ongoing since it must be done on an annual
basis. Indian River County now has approximately twenty facilities
that fall within the criteria for the annual emergency plan reviews
and some of the facilities are substantial in size.
Staff understands that should the Trust Fund grant revenue cease to
be available in the future, that the Board is under no -obligation
to fund the proposed position from other revenue sources.
Staff recommends the Board approve the Emergency -Management,
Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund Base Grant which continues
funding for the Emergency Management Planner and expenditures for
non -capital and capital equipment as noted, with the balance of the
grant funds being retained in a contingency account for later
allocation during the fiscal year. An agenda item will be
submitted at the appropriate time for authorization to commit
unobligated funds to the renovations and/or capital for the
Emergency Operations Center, if that project is realized this year.
Staff also recommends the Board .to authorize the Chairman to
execute the necessary documents to obtain the funds and approve a
budget amendment to receive and expend the grant funds.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board, by a 4-0 vote
(Commissioner Eggert being absent), approved the
Emergency Management, Preparedness and Assistance
Trust Fund Base Grant, as recommended by staff.

Dear Commissioner Tippin: other ------
The Indian River County Sheriff's Office is pleased to advise you of our intent -
to participate in the U.S. Department of Justice's COPS AHEAD Grant Program. This
program is one of several approaches developed by the Department of Justice under
the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to speed the deployment ---
of new officers devoted to community policing. COPS AHEAD permits interested
agencies to begin recruiting and hiring new officers now in anticipation of later
COPS grant funding, without compromising the quality and thoroughness of officer
training and the careful design of community policing programs.
Funding will begin once the new officers have been sworn and a satisfactory grant
application has been submitted and approved. The grant will be made for up to
75% of the total salary and benefits of each officer over three (3) years, up to
a maximum of w75,000 per officer, with the remainder to be paid by local funds.
We are requestinC one (1) additional officer under the COPS AHEAD program. The
following costs show the total Federal amount and the matching funds required
by the County:

Federal
Fiscal year 94-95: 24,267.24
County Total

We welcome the opportunity to bring Federal dollars to Indian River County and
the benefits such funding brings our citizens. The Board of County Commissioners
has been very supportive of our past efforts in community policing. We look
forward to a continuation of this partnership and once again ask for your
continued commitment and support of the community. I would appreciate your
signing the attached Letter of Intent to Participate.
Sincerely,
e.
Gary C. Wheeler, Sheriff
Commissioner Adams inquired about the funding for the matching
grant, and John Gisler, director of Administration for the
Sheriff's Department, believed this cost would be coming out of the
insurance account. He explained that we received the grant
application information just recently, informing us that there are
grant funds for an additional officer if we apply.
Administrator Chandler advised that this is a new grant and we
just received information on it. Our match of $14,000 would have
to come out of the general fund contingencies and he has a real
concern about reducing those contingencies any further because we
are only in our second month of the fiscal year.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht, the Board, by a 3-1 vote
(Commissioner Eggert being absent and Commissioner
Bird dissenting) denied participation due to lack of
funding.
