a constitutional amendment relating to local control of gaming
activities.
If the Board agrees with Seminole County, attached is a resolution of
support for a constitutional amendment to correct this problem.

in Indian River County unless the County had an additional election
and the issue were voted in. Attorney Vitunac also stated that any
vote in favor of gambling in Indian River County would be subject
to local zoning codes.

TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney
DATE: December 28, 1994
RE: Sebastian Utilities Acquisition
William R. Hough & Co.; Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A.; and DUS
Consultants are jointly given a seminar on utility acquisitions on
Thursday, January 26, 1995, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in Tampa.
Attached is proposed agenda for the seminar. I believe the information
to be presented will be useful to -the County in our negotiations for the
acquisition of Sebastian utilities and request permission to attend this
seminar.
REQUESTED ACTION: Approve travel request, as requested.
JANUARY 3, 1995 21
BOOK FA"
Commissioner Adams asked about the status of the Sebastian
utilities purchase and mentioned that the southern states utility
issue is of great importance with the State at this time due to a
bid with the Public Utilities Commission to not allow counties to
regulate rates if they have utilities in 2 or more counties.
Attorney Vitunac advised that Administrator Chandler has
arranged several meetings with the County's bond counsel and staff
and has everything in good shape.
Administrator Chandler stated that the County has just about
finalized its internal analysis, both in terms of the Utilities
Department and the work with the underwriters, and is about 2 weeks
away from meeting with the City. The purchase is progressing very
well.
Attorney Vitunac advised that part of the reason for his
attendance at the seminar is that the State's experts are giving a
course on what Indian River County has been doing. He felt it
would be interesting to see what others think of our methods and
see if we can pick up any pointers, particularly with regard to
negotiating a purchase and sale agreement.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by

SUBJECT: COUNTY ADMINISTRATION BUILDING
FOOD SERVICE CONCESSION
BACKGROUND: -
Based on problems with service in the cafeteria located in the
Administration Building, and complaints filed by employees in the
facility, the Board instructed staff to take necessary action to
rectify, this problem. Staff prepared and issued a Request For
Proposals to provide a service to meet the needs of our employees
and public using that facility.
The RFP was properly advertised and sent to twenty (2 0) prospective
vendors to furnish the food service concession. One firm and three
individuals responded with proposals.
A staff committee reviewed the proposals and reference checks were
made. Each prospective vendor was interviewed by the committee.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the results of the above exercise, staff recommends the
County enter into an agreement with Lillian M. Barker of Vero
Beach, to furnish a food service concession in the County
Administration Building. This would be a contract similar to the
present one with the Division of Blind Services. A year to year
agreement with a cancellation clause to include a thirty day notice
by either party. It is also requested, the Board Chairman be
authorized to execute the agreement.
Public Services Director Sonny Dean gave a brief overview of
the bid by Lillian M. Barker to furnish food services in the County
Administration Building.
Commissioner Adams felt the proposed 10% discount to County
employees would create a bookkeeping hardship and asked that
Director Dean renegotiate with Ms. Barker, advising her that the
County would prefer that all customers pay the same rates.
Director Dean will discuss the matter with Ms. Barker and report to
the Board at the next meeting.

BACKGROUND
Water is served to the Sebastian Lakes service area by the City of
Sebastian. Wastewater service is provided by an on-site wastewater
plant owned by the Sebastian Lakes Utility Company.
Sebastian Lakes Utility Company has requested wastewater service
from the City of Sebastian. The City of Sebastian cannot,
economically, service the area with wastewater.
ANALYSIS
The City of Sebastian has requested the County to provide
wastewater service to the Sebastian Lakes service area outlined on
Schedule "A1" attached. The County service would be provided
through an existing sewer force main located on SR 512, adjacent to
the property.
The County will receive impact fees for all connections to its
facilities located or constructed in the service area.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval
of the interlocal agreement, Sebastian Lakes Service Agreement,
(See attached) between Indian River County and the City of
Sebastian and to authorize execution by the Chairman of the Board
of County Commissioners.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by

Sebastian is not in a position to provide services so the service
is being turned over to the County.
Commissioner Eggert felt that the City of Sebastian should be
reminded that an exit on the east side will be of primary
importance once the wastewater treatment plant is removed.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. US -93 -05 -DC
BACKGROUND
On March 16, 1994, the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners approved Work Authorization No. 2 for the subject
project for final design, permitting, project advertisement, bidding
services, and project administration during construction to
Masteller and Moler, Inc. The engineer has diligently pursued all
required permits necessary for construction. During this permitting
process, the engineer was required to perform many additional
services beyond the ordinary services as it was expected. Due to
this, the engineer has exceeded his estimated cost for permitting
services. The engineer has submitted a proposed invoice (Addendum
No. 1) for their services.
JANUARY 3, 1995 31 BOOK q PA.. L 3i
ANALYSIS
The proposed addendum covers the engineer's and sub -engineer's costs
expended over the original estimated cost to respond to numerous
FDEP requests for additional information. Attached is the
engineer's letter which describes and lists the individual persons
involved in permitting with number of hours and rates. The proposed
additional cost totals $8,486.20.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends an
approval of Addendum No. 1 in the amount of $8,486.30 to Masteller
and Moler, Inc., for additional services rendered for permitting of
the above -referenced project.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, that Addendum No. 1 in the amount
of $8,486.30 to Masteller and Moler, Inc. be
approved, as recommended by staff.
Under discussion, Chairman Macht advised that he spoke with
State Representative Sembler regarding the permit wherein the
County is supposed to build a weather station and Representative
Sembler agreed to go to Orlando to oppose the matter with the DEP.
Utilities Director Terry Pinto advised that the information
has been gathered for Representative Sembler to utilize. He also
reported that an agreement has been reached on the construction of
the wetlands and the permit has been issued. The County is now
satisfied with the criteria used regarding the construction and
design but is disagreeing about the construction of the weather
station and the type of monitoring. The bids have been received
and the County is now proceeding with the construction.

DESIGNATION OF SHERIFF AS CHIEF CORRECTIONAL OFFICER
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 22, 1994:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney
DATE: December 22, 1994
RE: Designation of Sheriff an Chief Correctional Officer
In Indian River County the Sheriff
has operated the County jail
since
the creation of the County in 1925,
except between 1984 and 1986
when
the Board of
County Commissioners
did. The Board transferred
this
responsibility
back to the Sheriff
in 1986 by voice vote after the
County found
it impossible to get adequate insurance coverage.
Insurance was
available through the
Florida Sheriffs' Association
only
to Sheriffs.
_
Since the transfer back to the Sheriff, Florida law has been amended to
require that the County Commissioners choose a "Chief Correctional
Officer." The law allows a majority of the County Commission to pick
the Sheriff as this officer.
It is necessary for the Board of County Commissioners to adopt an
ordinance appointing a Chief Correctional Officer. The attached
ordinance appoints the Sheriff as the Chief Correctional officer;
however, the Board does have the authority to appoint someone else or to
undertake the responsibility itself.
Requested Action: Request permission to advertise the attached
ordinance choosing the Sheriff as the Chief Correctional Officer. A
hearing date of January 24, 1995, is recommended.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously
approved the advertisement of a proposed ordinance
choosing the Sheriff as Chief Correctional Officer,
with the public hearing to be held January 24, 1995,
as recommended by staff.
SOLID WASTE FLOW CONTROL
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 27, 1994:
JANUARY 3, 1995 33 BOOK �4 FAIL. 3
TO: Board of County Commissioners
r
FROM: Charles P. Vunac, County Attorney
_ DATE:__ December 27, 1994 _
RE: Solid Waste Flow Control
At the Board's direction at the suggestion of Commissioner Macht I
attended a NACo special meeting concerning the ability of local
governments to control disposal of solid waste in their own
jurisdictions. The concern of the counties nation-wide came from a U.S.
Supreme Court decision (the Carbone case) which ruled that certain
governmental restrictions on disposal sites were in restraint of
interstate commerce and were therefore unconstitutional.
In response to the Supreme Court case, NACo prepared and presented to
Congress legislation which would have remedied the counties' concerns;
however, the waste management industry worked against the bill and with
the support of Senator Chaffe managed to kill the bill for that session.
The bill was defeated in part because it became connected with the
separate issue of interstate disposal of hazardous wastes.
Since the adjournment of the last Congress, NACo has been working with
congressional staff and representatives from the waste industry and has
developed corrections to last year's bill which everyone believes will
make the bill supportable by all concerned in the next Congress. NACo's
special meeting was by invitation only and was attended by 50
representatives from throughout the country. There were 8 from Florida,
which was the state with the highest percentage of representation. For
almost 7 hours the committee met without breaking and discussed the
items as shown on the attached agenda. The predominant concern of the
counties was their ability to re -pay bonds issued to finance
state-of-the-art waste disposal facilities which would be more expensive
than alternate industry dump _sites. The proposed bill contains
authorization for counties which have met certain guidelines to continue
to impose flow control restrictions.
Indian River County meets the guidelines for continued flow control
authority in the proposed bill in that we had in existence before May
15, 1994, an ordinance which required disposal of our County waste in an
existing County facility. In addition the County has issued bonds in
reliance on the stream of waste coming to our facility. Our County is,
therefore, in as good a position as any county in the United States on
this issue; however, it is still necessary that the proposed bill be
passed by Congress before our County can be assured of a continuing
stream of solid waste to our facility.
The chairman of the committee suggested that representatives meet again
in the spring when the bill is before Congress to coordinate our efforts
in getting the bill passed. In addition the NACo representatives asked
each member to request financial assistance from NACo member counties
to be used to cover expenses to get the bill passed. NACo has not been
budgeted sufficient funds to support this bill, and the chairman
indicated that up to an additional $60,000 is needed.
Requested Action: As a result of Indian River County's creation of the
Solid Waste Disposal District in 1987, if the proposed congressional
legislation is passed, Indian River County will have to take no
additional action to protect itself; however, if the Board wishes to
contribute to the NACo Solid Waste Association lobbying fund, the Board
would need to give proper direction to the staff. -

BOOK � FALL, c�

County Attorney Vitunac reported on a meeting he attended
where he discovered that Indian River County is in the best shape
of anybody in the country as the magic date for continuation of
flow control rights in counties was May 15, 1994. The County's
ordinance which requires garbage to go to our facilities was
adopted in 1987 and bonds were issued in reliance on that flow, so
we are in good shape as long as Congress passes this bill. Without
this bill it would mean that we cannot control the flow into our
own facilities. There was general disagreement on what would
happen if no bill was passed, but generally it was thought the bill
would pass in Congress. They went over the very lengthy detailed
bill for 7 hours, proposing amendments to solve all of the problems
of the counties that were represented. The meeting was not
advertised and no minutes were taken for the reason that the NACo
people did not want the industry to know exactly what they were
discussing. It is hoped that now, with the new Congress and some
amendments to the bill, it will pass very soon in the next Congress
and we will be taken care of.
Chairman Macht, as a side note, mentioned that we were invited
to participate in the meeting because we had worked with NACo in
lobbying our congressional delegation, both the senate and the
house. He felt we need to continue lobbying with the change in the
makeup of our delegation. He is drafting a letter to our new
representative and suggested that each commissioner might want to
do the same, as well as to ask members of the council, public
officials and others to also write. He expressed his opinion that
we have enough cost to bear in the solid waste effort and that if
they do not pass a decent flow control bill, it's going to get very
unpleasant.
Commissioner Eggert suggested that the Board send a letter or
a resolution as a body and also have anyone individually that wants
to, follow up.
MOTION WAD MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, that the Board adopt Resolution
95-07 to the United States Congress, urging passage
of a solid waste flow control bill.

Under discussion, County Attorney Vitunac asked if the Board
wished to include any financial contribution for NACo's expenses
for lobbying.
Commissioners Adams and Eggert felt the County is not in a
position to contribute at this time, and Commissioner Adams
expressed her feeling that the Board would be much more effective
talking individually with the Congressmen and legislators.
Chairman Macht reminded the Board that we are also supporting
NACo through our dues and asked County Attorney Vitunac to help
draft the resolution.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously.

RESOLUTION NO. 95-07
A RESOLUTION OF THE HOARD OF COUNTY COMISSIONERS OF
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, TO THE UNITED STATES
CONGRESS, URGING PASSAGE OF A SOLID WASTE FLOW
CONTROL HILL.
WHEREAS, the purpose of flow control is to protect the health and
environment of citizens by ensuring that local governments can responsibly
dispose of solid waste at well -regulated facilities; and
WHEREAS, Indian River County, Florida, is required by law to provide,
and does provide, a solid waste disposal facility for all of Indian River
County, Florida; and
WHEREAS, as part of that obligation it was necessary for the County to
issue bonds secured by the stream of revenue produced by the disposal
facility; and
JANUARY 3, 1995 36
BOOK 4 PAra 36
RESOLUTION NO. 95- 07
WHEREAS, the stream of revenue is dependent on a continuous flow of
solid waste from the residents and municipalities in the County; and
WHEREAS, without the right to control this flow the County's ability to
pay its bond debt and issue new bonds would be in jeopardy; and
WHEREAS, this jeopardy would preclude the County from fulfilling its
public health, safety, and welfare responsibilities regarding solid waste
disposals
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
1. The Board strongly urges the Congress of the United States to enact flow
control legislation which would protect the interests of governmental
bodies, such as Indian River County, which are required to provide solid
waste disposal facilities.
2. A copy of this resolution be provided to the legislative delegation for
Indian River County and to the National Association of Counties.
The resolution was moved for adoption by Commissioner Eggert, and the
motion was seconded by Commissioner Tippin, and, upon being put to a vote,
the vote was as follows:
Chairman Kenneth R. Macht Aye
Vice Chairman Fran B. Adams Aye
Commissioner Richard N. Bird Aye
Commissioner Carolyn K. Eggert Aye
Commissioner John W. Tippin Aye
The Chairman thereupon declared the resolution duly passed and adopted
this 3rd day of January, 1995.

TOURIST DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
Commissioner Tippin initiated a discussion regarding the
debate at a recent meeting of the Tourist Development Council on
collecting -the tourist tax locally, explaining that within one year
of other counties taking over the collection from the Florida
Department of Revenue, their revenue almost doubled.
Karl Zimmerman, Tax Collector, has discussed the matter with
other Tax Collectors in counties where the tax is collected locally
and would like to get approval for Indian River County to move
toward collecting these taxes locally. Mr. Zimmerman's department
is undergoing a major computer overhaul and could include this
additional task, if approved. At this time, the State is retaining
1% of the tax as a fee and, by statute, our Tax Collector's Office
could take up to 3% of the taxes in fees. Commissioner Tippin also
felt that people who have-not been paying this tax should be
notified immediately of their non-compliance.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, that the Board approve taking
whatever actions are necessary to transfer
collection of all tourist taxes to the Indian River
County Tax Collector.
Under discussion, Chairman Macht stated that from the very
beginning the County has suspected that we are not getting a fair
count for bureaucratic reasons, and that even the timely arrival of
the funds would make a great deal of difference.
Commissioner Bird suggested authorizing County Administrator
Chandler and the appropriate County staff to meet with Mr.
Zimmerman and come back with recommendations as to how we can
implement the local collection.
Commissioner Eggert felt it should be left up to Tax Collector
Zimmerman to do whatever he feels is necessary rather than the
Board interfering with the phasing, and Commissioner Adams also
felt we should do whatever is necessary to begin local collection.
OMB Director Joe Baird advised that he has been discussing the
matter with Mr. Zimmerman and it will be at least 6 months to a
year before local collection can be implemented. The Tax Collector
is going through the process slowly to make sure it is done
correctly.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously.

RECOMMENDATION OF OLD COURTHOUSE AD HOC CONIlVIITTEE
REGARDING THE RESTORATION OF THE OLD COURTHOUSE
Deferred.
LEGAL USE OF OPTIONAL SALES TAX
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 21, 1994:
TO: Joseph A. Baird - OMB Director
FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien - Assistant County Attorneyq Y Pu
DATE: December 21, 1994
SUBJECT: LEGAL USE OF OPTIONAL SALES TAX
RE: y YOUR MEMORANDUM OF 12/20/94, THIS SUBJECT
You have asked this office "whether it would be a legal expenditure to
utilize the Optional Sales Tax to pay for consulting, engineering and
planning costs (i.e. hiring a grant writer) to apply for a grant to renovate
the old Courthouse?" The answer is yes.
The use of proceeds from the "Local Government Infrastructure Surtax"
( Section 212.055' F . S .) often referred to as the "Optional Sales Tax" may be
used "to finance, plan, and construct Infrastructure". A renovation of the
old courthouse would come within the definition of "Infrastructure". The
hiring of consultants, engineers and a grant writer would come within the
phrase "to finance, plan" infrastructure. Therefore, the uses you described
in your referenced memorandum may be paid for out of revenues generated
by the "Optional Sales Tax".
As an ancillary matter, my memorandum of December 8, 1994 to you on a
similar subject contains a typo. The correct citation is as here, Section
212.055 F.S.
Commissioner Eggert felt that we should look at taking some
action but also felt that the whole optional sales tax matter
should be closely examined for this next year to see how it fits
in.
Chairman Macht explained that this item only speaks to the
ability to use the funds, not to any designation of funds.
A brief discussion followed with no action taken.
FIRST BUDGET WORKSHOP
Chairman Macht asked if there were any plans for the first
budget workshop and mentioned that he has received -the Annual
Budget Report for FY 1994-95, which is an excellent presentation.
He congratulated staff on this presentation and hoped it would
clear up some of the public misapprehension and confusion regarding
the budget. He quoted several recent incidents where the public
JANUARY 3, 1995 39
perception of what happens with County funds is totally
unrealistic. He felt that perhaps televising the budget workshops
might help to educate the public as to what the Commission does
with tax revenues and what the restraints and responsibilities are.
He mentioned an incident wherein the Commission was accused of
giving huge bonuses to the Hospital Administrator with whom the
Commission has no connection whatever.
Administrator Chandler advised that the proposed budget will
be ready for presentation possibly by the end of this month,
certainly by the first week in February.
Chairman Macht felt this would also tie in with the
disposition of optional sales tax monies and the earlier we can
start to deal with the whole budget, the better.
Administrator Chandler agreed to bring several alternative
dates to next week's meeting.
Executive Aide Alice White advised that she had figured into
the budget televising at least two 4 -hour budget sessions, as well
as four extra meetings, of which two have already been used.
No further action was taken.
NEW COURTHOUSE STATUS
Chairman Macht requested a brief status report on the move to
the new Courthouse. -
General Services Director Sonny Dean reported that everyone is
now in the new building, the move went really well and everything
is ready for operation and running smoothly at this time. Director
Dean also commended the staff on a terrific job during the move.
CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY — OSLO ROAD PROPERTY
Commissioner Bird inquired as to the status of the Children's
Aid Society proposed construction on the Oslo Road property.
Administrator Chandler agreed to get an update and provide the
information to the Board at the next meeting.
MPO MEETING
Commissioner Eggert stated that there was some confusion
caused at the time the MPO technical and citizens groups got
together in that a number of people in the community thought there
was a final approval of the long-range transportation needs through
JANUARY 3, 1995 40 BOOK PAU' i & to

2020 when it was only a recommendation to the MPO. She encouraged
everyone to attend the MPO meeting which will start at 10:00 A.M.
on January 11, 1995 as the consultant who did the long-range plan
will be there to speak and transportation needs will be discussed.

MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, that the Board approve the
committee appointments as reviewed. (See Amended
Motion below.)
Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert noted that, after
approval of a committee as a whole, investigation should be made to
find out the name of this year's representative when the committee
member is an organization.
Chairman Macht inquired if any of the Commissioners would like
to acquire another committee or give up a committee, and each of
the commissioners affirmed his and her satisfaction with the
current status.
Executive Aide Alice White inquired if the committee members
serving a one year term could serve at the discretion of the Board,
and Commissioner Eggert responded that each committee has its own
rules regarding terms.
Commissioner Tippin mentioned that the Alcohol, Drug Abuse and
Mental Health Committee is now called the Planning Committee and
advised that the HRS Planning Council has requested that the
committee continue.
Commissioner Eggert stated that this is a subcommittee and
that John Tippin should be named as liaison to that committee and
amended the motion to include that action.
