12.6.1. 19-0355 John's Island Water Management Reclaimed Water Project - Permitting Status
Recommended Action: This is only an update of the status of the Utility Construction Permit to the
Indian River County Board of County Commissioners, and no decision is
requested of this item
Attachments: Staff Report
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke used a PowerPoint Presentation to
clarify the history of John's Island Water Management (JIWM) Inc., going back
to 2016 when JIWM requested reclaimed water to be supplied by the Indian
River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS). He provided that in
January 2018, Knight McGuire Associates, the engineer of record for JIWM,
submitted an application for a Utility Construction Permit (UCP) to IRCDUS.
The IRC UCP was pending until staff could review additional information from
Knight McGuire Associates, requested in February 2019, and received late the
previous day.
Director Burke provided the proposed route for the reclaimed water line, the
permits that have been issued and the permits currently pending, along with
details of the stipulations.
Director Burke announced there were "Stakeholders" of the proposed project in
attendance who would be available if questions arose. He detailed the
"Issues", the "Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) Fact Sheet", and the aerial
view of all existing Indian River Lagoon crossings, provided by the IRCDUS
Subject Matter Expert, Consultant Jim Williams of Brierley Associates.
Director Burke continued his PowerPoint Presentation with the reuse water
"Treatment Process", which included a video highlighting the operations at the
West Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility Wetlands; the "Benefits of
Reuse"; "Growth" of the State's population; the "UCP #4143 Remaining Items"
as they were addressed in the February 2019 comment letter to Knight McGuire
Associates; and concluded with a "Timeline/Summary." He made note that all
stipulations would need to be met prior to the issuance of the IRC UCP.

12.G.2. 19-0353 Barrier Island Reclaimed Water Main System Analysis - Results
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners consider the results of the A1A Barrier Island Reuse Water
Main Feasibility Study. The report indicates that the east side of the Al A
corridor is in fact feasible and cost -competitive with the subaqueous route. It is
important to note that John's Island Water Management is constructing the
subaqueous line, and while the County does not have the ability to unilaterally
Indian River County Florida Page 8
Board of County Commissioners
Meeting Minutes - Final April 23, 2019
determine the routing of the proposed line, it does and will require the design
and construction to meet or exceed industry standards as well as the County's
utility construction requirements
Attachments: Staff Report
Preliminary Engineering Report
Plans for North County Reuse Water Main Study
Utility Services Director Vincent Burke, through the use of a PowerPoint
Presentation, provided the history leading up to the engineering feasibility study
and results provided by Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard, LLC (SBS). Hired in
December 2018, SBS performed a feasibility analysis to run a 16" reuse
transmission main along the Al A corridor to a proposed storage and repump
station at the inactive Sea Oaks Wastewater Treatment Plant (SOWWTP).
Director Burke detailed the tasks that SBS focused on: 1) Existing Utility
Locates; 2) Hydraulic Modeling; and 3) Preliminary Opinion of Probable Cost,
and delivered SBS's determination that an adequate area is available to install
reuse mains along the east side of SR A1A. He went on to provide details of
the proposed route and installation.
Director Burke then compared the procedures that would be needed if the
Board elected to go with the SBS -recommended A1A route versus the John's
Island recommendation of a subaqueous route.
County Administrator Jason Brown highlighted the County's commitments
regarding the health of the Lagoon. He added that, due to the complexity of
the JIWM project, the County hired Brierley Associates, engineering
consultants who are experts in the field of Horizontal Directional Drilling
(HDD).
Administrator Brown then spoke of SBS's recommended A1A route, and the
Board's need to compare this option with the JIWM subaqueous route. He
noted that the decision today, to be made by the Board following the discussion
in Item 13.A., would indicate whether the County grants a Temporary
Construction Easement over Hole in the Wall Island and Pine Island for
construction of a reuse line, pending JIWM's ability to present satisfactory title
work.

Memo from William G. Collins II, dated May 7, 2001
County Attorney Dylan Reingold provided background and analysis on the
ownership of the rights-of-way over Hole in the Wall Island and Pine Island. He
explained that in 2009, the Indian River Mosquito Control District (the District)
received a quit -claim deed for Hole in the Wall Island from Horses Head, LTD;
however, the District's attorney at the time discovered that there was a recorded
deed dated back to November 1959 that granted the County "fee simple forever"
ownership of the right-of-way. Attorney Reingold stated that he had received
correspondence communicating that the District did not feel the County had
ownership over Hole in the Wall Island, but he had not received documentation
supporting the District's claim. With regard to Pine Island, Attorney Reingold
included that the parcel owner, Lost Tree, would be cooperative, if necessary,
regarding their involvement. '
Chairman Solari offered a summary of Attorney Reingold's presentation, including
the indication that the County does have ownership of rights-of-way over Hole in
the Wall Island and Pine Island.
Commissioner Flescher requested and received clarification for the level of
certainty Attorney Reingold felt regarding the County's ownership of the
right-of-way over Hole in the Wall Island.

Association and JIWM, presented the Deputy Clerk with over 900 signatures from
property owners of John's Island and the Town of Indian River Shores who were in
support of the Board's approval of the easement request, and made mention that the
proposed reuse line could be utilized by other Barrier Island residents in the future.
Attorney Brian Seymour, 777 S. Flagler Dr., Suite 500 East, West Palm Beach,
representing JIWM, spoke on the efforts of completing this project in the most
effective and environmentally sensitive manner. He also felt that he could provide
the title assurance required to move forward with the subaqueous route, and noted
that the residents of John's Island were opposed to the Al A route recommended by
Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard, LLC (SBS) in Item 12.G2.
Commissioner O'Bryan asked for the title documentation, and Attorney Seymour
confirmed that he had not yet started the title assurance process.
The following individuals were opposed to the County approving the temporary
construction easement for several reasons that were addressed, and offered their
concerns and recommended alternatives to the Board.

Jim Moller, former General Manager of JIPOA and JIWM, responded to
Commissioner O'Bryan with clarification regarding ownership of the pipeline that
runs from the Wabasso Wellfield to John's Island. Consumptive Water Use Permits
were also discussed.
Commissioner Flescher clarified his reasoning for not being in favor of granting the
temporary construction easement, making note that: 1) the title assurance had not
been provided by JIWM; and 2) there was an alternative route that would not
require drilling under the Lagoon.
Commissioner O'Bryan confirmed details of the proposed project with Joseph
Schulke, representing Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard, L.L.C., and Jim Williams of
Brierley Associates. Although Commissioner O'Bryan agreed with the County
Attorney that the County owns the rights-of-way over Hole in the Wall Island and
Pine Island, he was in favor of using the pipeline that is already available.

Meeting Minutes - Final April 23, 2019
Vice Chairman Adams questioned and received clarification from County
Administrator Jason Brown regarding several of her concerns, including
infrastructure being built and dedicated to the County.
Commissioner Zorc agreed with Attorney Reingold's position regarding the
right-of-way ownership, and spoke on the increasing amount of reuse water that the
County is responsible for housing. He was in favor of granting the temporary
construction easement.
Chairman Solari was in favor of granting the temporary construction easement,
noting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the St. Johns River Water
Management District, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection would
be looking at the environmental risks. He made mention that JIWM implied that
they would not be using the money raised to finance an alternative route; therefore
the taxpayers would be responsible. The Chairman felt that the risk was worth the
reward.
Vice Chairman Adams received confirmation from Attorney Seymour that the
money raised by JIPOA was for the subaqueous project only. Additionally, she
inquired and received clarification regarding the County's ability to provide reuse
water to thebarrier island, and the process that would be involved if the District
challenges the County regarding the ownership of the rights-of-way and whether
the temporary construction easement was the County's to grant.
A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Vice Chairman Adams,
to deny granting the temporary construction easement for Hole in the Wall Island and
Pine Island. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: 3 - Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner Flescher, and Commissioner O'Bryan
