Since the departure of Dr. Berman, Mr. Wilbur Williams, Distrist 15 Administrator, appointed Dr. Witte to serve as our health unit's acting director.

He reminded the Board that Dr. Berman had resigned and announced that a decision has been reached to recruit an administrator rather than a physician to fill the position. The position has been advertised. Commissioner Eggert recalled that the Board has a right to approve who is chosen for the position and requested that the Board be given an opportunity to talk to the candidates prior to a choice being made. Acting Director Witte responded that this is at the pleasure of the Board. He advised that a search committee comprised of himself and 2 directors of health in other counties has been set up to handle the matter; however, they would be glad to give the Board an opportunity to meet with the candidates. Commissioner Eggert felt that only the top two candidates need to be presented to the Board. Commissioner Adams suggested that Commissioner Eggert be appointed to interview the top two candidates and welcomed Acting Director Witte. Commissioner Bird wanted to publicly thank Dr. Berman, noting that it had been a real pleasure to work with him. Dr. Berman always had the best interests of—the County at heart and did the best he could with the limited resources he had to work with. He also expressed his feeling that Dr. Berman is largely responsible for the new health building. Acting Director Witte responded that Dr. Berman is an outstanding public health official. Chairman Macht announced that a consensus had been reached to appoint Commissioner Eggert to interview the top 2 candidates for the director's position and present a recommendation to the Board. B.

Letter of Opposition to HRS Cuts/District 15 The Board reviewed a letter of January 24, 1995: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 1840 25th Street, Vero Brarh, Florida 32960 Telephone: (407)567-8000 January 24, 1995 The Honorable James A. Scott President of Florida Senate Suite 409 The Capitol Tallahassee, Florida 32933-1100 Dear Senator Scott: The County Commissioners of Indian River County would like to express our concern for the proposed 25o budget cut to the Department of Health and Human Services. If it is necessary to reduce their budget by this amount, in District 15 the cuts will reduce many services drastically if not eliminate them completely. Major cuts will be made in preventive programs. There are many studies that prove preventive programs are cost effective and will cut the state expenses over the long term. The elimination of Primary Care and Part H services are examples of the preventive services being eliminated in Indian River County. In funding HRS 'programs, we were eager that preventive care and children's services be their top priority for funding. We understand the legislature was eager to look at fraud, waste and ineffectiveness; however, we feel perhaps that HRS has taken a different slant on this. We understand the need for cuts and the need to eliminate programs not really serving the public. Elimination of this type program would serve the people of the state more effectively than the elimination of preventive medicine and children's care. JANUARY 24, 1995 21 moo 94 Senator James A. Scott January 24, 1995 Page 2 Our second concern pertains to elimination of Primary Care and Part H services by the state HRS office before the regular cut of 25% by district. This reduction results in a 31% reduction in total operating budget, putting an unequal burden on our county. Indian River County Commissioners and the Indian River Memorial Hospital Taxing District contribute $769,500 to enhance the services to our residents. The Health Department was instructed to include these dollars in their total budget reductions. If the state Senate Ways and Means Committee uses the inflated numbers, the resulting reduction for Indian River County Public Health Unit will equal $1,081,,568. This amount represents a 71% decrease in their state contribution and will have profound consequences on the residents of our county. Please consider our concerns in your final determination of budget reductions. _ Sin rely, 2 Kenneth R.

L. Approval of Maintenance Map for 130th Street in Roseland The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 18, 1995: JANUARY 24, 1995 22 Max �t1 � TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator _ FROM: James W. Davis, P. Public Works Director SUBJECT: Approval of Maintenance Map for 130th Street in Roseland DATE: January 18, 1995 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS FILE: 13 OST . AGN This portion of 130th Street in Roseland has been the subject of controversy for a number of years, having been built over the years by various users. The area involved was constructed without benefit of alignment, and the ditches shown were dug and have been maintained by the County for ten years or more. They are an integral part of the roadway. The properties involved are residential lots shown on a replat of Sections 21 and 30 of the Fleming Grant known as the A.A. Berry Subdivision. The attached maintenance map is the result of discovering the true right-of-way limits for 130th Street as dedicated by General Development Corp. and realizing that the shown drainage ditches were necessary to the use of the existing road. REC—CHEM ATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends the Chairman approve the maintenance map for 130th Street in Roseland so that it can -be filed with the Clerk of Court for Indian River County. The only funds expended at this time will be for filing of the map. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the maintenance map for 130th Street in Roseland for filing with the Indian River County Clerk of Court, as recommended by staff.

Vitunac, County Attorney DATE: January 16. 1995 SUBJECT: Designation of Sheriff as Chief Correctional Officer In Indian River County the Sheriff the creation of the County in 1925, the Board of County Commissioners JANUARY 24, 1995 24 has operated the County jail since except between 1984 and 1986 when did. The Board transferred this -Root55 W? 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. Requested Action: Board adopt attached ordinance. County Attorney Vitunac explained that this Ordinance is required by state law in that the Board must choose someone by ordinance as the chief correctional officer and that the Sheriff has agreed to act in that capacity. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 95-01 Designating the Sheriff as Chief Correctional Officer, - pursuant to staff's recommendations.

Items 1 through 6 will not be altered by the proposed Ordinance. Commissioner Eggert expressed her feeling that she still has some question about attending ballgames outside of the county as she does not feel there is any local representation involved. Commissioner Bird stated that he has a special circumstance in that he had spent 9 years with the Dodgers' organization and is still very close to many Dodgers' coaches and players. If the team invited him, he would feel an obligation to attend but would not want to be in conflict with any ordinance. JANUARY 24, 1995 27 Commissioner Eggert felt that if one of the commissioners is invited to attend a game inside the county, this should be done. However, she did not feel that any of the commissioners need to appear at a game outside of the county. Chairman Macht expressed his feeling that he also would not feel comfortable going outside of the county as the tickets and transportation would be worth quite a bit of money. What disturbs him about the question is the nature of the organization in that the team has never asked anyone in government, city or county, to do anything that might be misconstrued. He also expressed his feeling that the Dodgers are one of the finest organizations he has ever known. Commissioner Bird suggested an addition of a condition of prior approval by the Board of County Commissioners on a case-by- case basis. Commissioner Adams mentioned that Item 8 sets out units of county employees when it was her understanding that the offering should be to all county employees. Commissioner Tippin expressed his opinion that the Board is _attempting to legislate morals and ethics which he does not feel can be regulated. He questioned how others can decide these ethical questions when the Board is obviously having difficulty with the definitions. Commissioner Bird then maintained that the spirit and intent of the offer must also be considered. He noted that a previous offering by a local organization of a free golf game for the local firefighters had been declined by the Board as it was not offered to all county employees. He felt that was an attempt by the organization to express appreciation to those particular county employees who risk their lives for the public good, as well as being county employees. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Nancy Offutt, Government Affairs Coordinator for the Realtor Association of Indian River County, felt the State statutes which address the matter are sufficient. Her group is opposed to a local ethics ordinance because they feel it is counterproductive. They feel elected officials have a conscience and public accountability to keep them on the straight and narrow. Peter Yurkiewicz of Fellsmere felt the rules of ethics by the State should be followed to the letter. JANUARY 24, 1995 28 m(bK F ,? M r M ® s � The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this matter and, there being none, he closed the public hearing. Commissioner Bird stated that he is in favor of leaving the ordinance as it is but would be agreeable to adding a case -by -case - basis condition for Board approval. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board adopt Ordinance 95-02 Amending the Code of Ethics and Conduct, Section 104.06 of the Indian River County Code as amended, pursuant to staff's recommendations. Under discussion, County Attorney Vitunac was requested to amend the Ordinance in keeping with the Board's suggestions to remove the name of any particular organization, and to add a condition that prior approval must be obtained for events outside of the county or for events offered solely to units of county employees. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion was unanimously approved. ORDINANCE 95-02 AN ORDINANCE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE .CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT SECTION 104.06 OF THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY CODE. WHEREAS, The Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 19, 1994 adopted a new code of ethics for employees and commissioners; and WHEREAS, the Board at time of adoption said it would revisit the code after experience had been gained as to its effectiveness; and WHEREAS, experience has shown that certain conduct should not be prohibited, JANUARY 24, 1995 29 ORDINANCE 95-02 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, that: SECTION 1.

JANUARY 24, 1995 32 Boa 94 iFAn�� X83 W DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: As directed by the Board of County Commissioners on November 22, 1994, the Emergency Services District Advisory Committee met on January 5, 1995, in a workshop meeting to consider revisions to Chapter 304, Life Support Services. Chapter 304 governs the process of issuing certificates of public convenience and necessity as well as oversight of the various entities who provide the various types of medical ground transport services. After hearing from current certificate holders, current applicants, and potential applicants, the workshop meeting resulted in the Advisory Committee recommending the attached revisions and additions to Chapter 304. The additions are indicated by underlining and the deletions are struck through. At the same November meeting referenced above, the Board of County Commissioners approved on an emergency basis Ordinance No. 94-33, which expires after sixty (60) days or January 22, 1995. The purpose of the temporary ordinance was to provide authorization and conditions for certain adjacent county ground transport providers to operate within the county without a certificate of public convenience and necessity. The changes to Chapter 304 which was recommended by the Emergency Services District Advisory Board adds sections on authority and purpose; classification of types of certificates; provides an initial application fee; permits certain exemptions; states certain criteria for staff recommendation to the Board; establishes a complaint process; details process for rate increases; allows inspections of transport vehicles; establishes a renewal notice; details certain types of acts which would place a certificate in jeopardy and provides for proceedings in that regard; establishes a procedure for complaints; and provides a penalty for violation of the Chapter. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The Emergency Services Advisory Board felt the revisions and additions to Chapter 304 would enhance and improve the process of issuance of certificates of public convenience and necessity. It was also felt the changes would provide for oversight of the various ground transport providers necessary to maintain a quality level of service and ensure that the needs of the community and its citizens are being met. The alternatives the Board may consider to take in this matter are as follows: Alternative No. 1: Consider the Advisory Committee's recommendation, but make no changes to Chapter 304, Life Support Services. Alternative No. 2: Consider the Advisory Committee's recommendation and approve with certain modifications as deemed appropriate by the Board. Alternative No. 3: Consider the Advisory Committee's recommendation and approve Chapter 304 as submitted to the Board. RECOMMENDATION: The Emergency Services District Advisory Committee recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners was to approve the changes and revisions to Chapter 304, Life Support Services, which would be consistent with Alternative No. 3. JANUARY 24, 1995 33'4: max - Commissioner Eggert, as Chairman of the Emergency Services District Advisory Committee, commented that the Committee had a very good meeting the first week in January, 1995. Representatives from all the concerned ambulance services and the hospital were there. There were a lot of good, constructive suggestions. One of the things discussed was -the need for competition, balancing the need not to have further incidents such as a recent situation where two ambulance companies were fighting over a man at the Doctors, Clinic. The goal to maintain a quality level of service was unanimously approved by the Committee, and those persons representing their various services were pleased that their suggestions had been incorporated in the ordinance being presented today. County Attorney Vitunac announced that this item was not advertised for 15 days as required, but only for 13 days, due to the fact that the ordinance was not ready early enough for the full 15 -day advertisement. He stated that a four-fifths vote of the Board is necessary to waive the -notice requirements and for the Board to hear this ordinance as a valid public emergency item which was predicated by the expiration of the temporary ordinance, causing a gap in the ambulance ordinances. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously waived the publication requirements and agreed to consider the matter as an emergency public hearing. Director of Emergency Services Doug Wright gave a brief explanation of the changes to the ordinance and advised that staff has recommended Alternative No. 3 in the memorandum, which is also the Advisory Committees recommendation. Commissioner Eggert further explained that inspections would primarily occur if a complaint were filed and that the purpose of this addition is not to intrude upon nor upset services. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing. Commissioner Bird expressed his compliments to the Emergency Services District Advisory Committee who took a difficult and controversial issue and worked out some very reasonable solutions. JANUARY 24, 1995 34 800K 94 165 ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board adopted Ordinance 95- 03 Amending Chapter 304, Life Support Services of the Indian River County Code, pursuant to recommendations of staff.

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 17, 1995: TO: James Chandler County Administrator FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP AMK Community Development Director DATE: January 17, 1995 RE: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO SUBMIT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REQUEST It is requested that the information presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of January 24, 1995. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS According to Chamber of Commerce and Council of 100 representatives, a major impediment to attracting industry to the county is the lack of building sites in an attractive, controlled industrial park. For that reason, the county's Overall Economic Development Plan (OEDP) addresses the industrial park issue. Policy 2.2 of the OEDP reads as follows: POLICY 2.2: The county will, by 1995, initiate development of an industrial park which will provide platted lots served by adequate infrastructure. This will be a co -development effort between the county and an industrial park developer. For the past year, planning staff have been working with the Chamber of Commerce and Council of 100 to implement OEDP policy 2.2 and establish an industrial park in the county. This effort has involved identifying landowners who have appropriately situated property and offering county and Chamber assistance in developing an industrial park. 6008 9ma 1� JANUARY 24, 1995 43 r 1 Despite attempts to find a landowner with both sufficient property in one of the large nodes adjacent to the interstate and interest in developing an industrial park, that effort has been unsuccessful. The Council of 100's Industrial Park subcommittee, however, has identified a landowner with property adjacent to the I-95/S.R. 60 commercial/industrial node and within the urban service area. Although the referenced property is currently designated M-1, Medium -Density Residential, on the county's future land use map, the property owner is interested in developing the land for an industrial park. Because of the county comprehensive plan's significant overallocation of commercial/industrial land, property located outside of a commercial/industrial node would generally be considered unsuitable for development of an industrial park. It is, however, possible to expand a node to include property adjacent to the node, if an amount of land equal to that being added to the node is removed from a node. In that way, there will be no overall increase in the amount of commercial/industrial designated land in the county.. Recent events provide an opportunity to remove 36.21 acres from the Oslo Road/74th Avenue node. By reducing the size of that node, a comparable -amount of acreage would be available to expand the I- 95/S.R. 60 node to accommodate the proposed industrial park property. The Oslo Road/74th Avenue node property that could be removed from the node is the Streetman property that was recently acquired by the county. That property is depicted on the attached map. Because that land was purchased for expansion of the landfill, the Streetman property, like the remainder of the landfill property, should be redesignated public on the county's future land use map. As such, the property would then be removed from the node. With this reduction in the size of the Oslo Road/74th Avenue node, the opportunity would then exist to expand the I-95/S.R. 60 node by a comparable amount. To initiate this process, the Board of County Commissioners, as the owner of the Streetman property, must authorize staff to submit a comprehensive plan amendment for the subject property. As part of the amendment to redesignate the county property, the Board may also authorize staff to include redesignation of the proposed industrial park property. In doing so, the Board would ensure that the property owner of the industrial park property would not incur any comprehensive plan amendment review fee costs. ANALYSIS For the county to meet its economic development objectives, it is necessary to establish an industrial park in the county. While OEDP policy 2.2 commits the county to work with a developer to establish an industrial park, there are limited, low cost actions which county government can take to get a park built. With recent utility line extensions, the county has provided necessary infrastructure to accommodate industrial development. Now the opportunity exists for the county to make land use plan changes to assist a landowner in developing an industrial park. JANUARY 24, 1995 44 Bou 94 P,�,UJ75 In redesignating the recently acquired Streetman property from commercial/industrial to public on the future land use plan map, the county would be designating the Streetman tract similar to the entire landfill site. With a public designation, the property could be used for any landfill related purpose. Not only could the property be used for borrow pits or stormwater tracts associated with the landfill, but the.public designation would also allow the property to be used for recycling or resource recovery uses conducted either by the county or by private sector lessees. By redesignating the 36.21 acre Streetman property to the public use category on the county's future land use plan map, the county can designate 36.21 acres of the proposed industrial park property from residential to commercial/ industrial. Although 36.21 acres is significantly less than the proposed size for an industrial park, the 36+ acres would provide an adequate first phase. In the future, it is anticipated that additional property under the same ownership will be redesignated commercial/ industrial to accommodate future phases of the proposed industrial park. In analyzing the proposed redesignation, planning staff consulted with utility department staff. The utility staff indicated that they would not oppose the redesignation, provided that landfill and related uses can occur under the public land use designation. Planning staff have verified that such uses can occur. In addition, planning staff have contacted the State Department of Community Affairs which has informally indicated that it would not contest the proposed land use plan changes, since the county will not be increasing the total amount of commercial/ industrial land in the county. — If authorized by the Board, planning staff will initiate a comprehensive plan amendment request for both the Streetman property and the industrial park tract during the January amendment submittal window. As with all plan amendments, this request will be analyzed by staff, considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission.and the Board of County Commissioners, reviewed by the State Department of Community Affairs, and acted upon by the Board of County Commissioners. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to submit a comprehensive plan amendment request to redesignate the recently purchased Streetman tract from Commercial/ Industrial to Public and to redesignate the referenced industrial park property from residential to commercial/ industrial. Staff also recommends that the county incur all costs associated with the referenced amendment request. JANUARY 24, 1995 45 BOOK 94 P,1G1,176 Community Development Director Robert Keating gave a brief overview of staff's attempt to implement one of the County's overall economic development plans to establish an industrial park in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce and the Council of 100. An appropriate property was located which was, unfortunately, outside the commercial industrial node, although it was contiguous. Planning staff advised the Council of 100 that the County has an overallocation of commercial industrial property and, in order to expand one of the nodes, we have to remove commercial industrial land from another node in order to avoid any net increase. The Solid Waste Disposal District recently purchased a property which could be redesignated known as the "Streetman" property, which was purchased for landfill expansion. This property can be redesignated from commercial industrial, removed from the node and redesignated "public", which will free up a little over 36 acres, at which time the Board would have the opportunity to consider a Comp Plan amendment to expand the State Road 60/I-95 commercial industrial node for a comparable amount of property which would accommodate at least the beginnings of development of an industrial .park. Director Keating also stated that the primary reason for staff's recommendation of this procedure is that this is one of the best, least -costly ways for the Board to comply with the Economic Development Policy and to reach the goal of an industrial park for the County. Chairman Macht questioned the safeguards for the public in giving up something to be transferred to private ownership. Director Keating responded that the County would be giving up something it does not need as it could accomplish the desired purposes with either designation. He reiterated that this area is the appropriate one for exchange for this node but agreed that some safeguard language possibly should be included. Chairman Macht questioned the guaranties that the private owner would not turn the property into something not in the general public's interest and Director Keating responded that the Comprehensive Plan contains requirements that once the property has been redesignated, the owner only has two years in which to implement the plan appropriate to the redesignation. In the event the redesignated plan was not accomplished in the 2 -year period, or if the plan were changed, a new plan would need to be presented to the Board for approval and another redesignation of the property. JANUARY 24, 1995 46 BOOK 94 pmx 177 M - M r Chairman Macht then expressed his feeling that a well- developed industrial park is a necessity for job opportunity and growth in the County. Commissioner Adams inquired as to what plans have been made in the northern part of the county and Commissioner Eggert responded that several parcels have been considered but there has been no real interest shown by any of the property owners to date. Chairman Macht felt that a CR -512 industrial node will become the premier industrial/commercial location if a regional aircraft passenger service comes in. Director Keating advised that the industries and businesses moving into the county at this point in time indicate that the State Road 60/I-95 node is the best option right now, at least until there is more development in the North County. Commissioner Bird questioned whether it would make any sense to redesignate the rest of the land in the landfill, in essence to landbank it in case it were needed in 5 to 10 years. Director Keating responded that all of the landfill is currently under public designation and this is just additional land. ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously authorized staff to submit a Comprehensive Plan amendment request to redesignate the recently purchased Streetman tract from "Commercial/Industrial" to "Public" and to redesignate the referenced industrial park property from "Residential" to "Commercial/Industrial"; agreed that the County shall incur all costs associated with the amendment request; and requested that staff add additional "safeguard" language to ensure the appropriate use of the property within the time limit designated by the Comprehensive Plan; as recommended by staff. PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR BLUE CYPRESS LAKE RESTROOM BUILDINGS The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 16, 1995: JANUARY 24, 1995 47 boa 94 PnUF 178 TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator - FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Directo SUBJECT: Professional Engineerin Architectural Services for Blue Cypress Lake Restroom Buildings DATE: January 16, 1995 FILE: BLCYPRR.AGN DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS Due to the completion of the Blue Cypress Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant, the County staff recommended that it would be more cost effective to construct a new restroom building at the park near the bait store rather than connect the existing restroom building to the lift station. Funding for the project will come from Florida Boating Improvement Program funds. To implement design, staff has advertised for professional architectural and engineering services. Three firms responded as follows: Angelo Francis Corva & Assoc. Architects - Melbourne, FL Edlund & Dritenbas Architects - Vero Beach, FL W.K. McCully & Assoc. - Vero Beach, FL ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS A selection committee consisting of Jim Davis, Public Works Director, Terry Thompson, Capital Project Manager, and Jim Romanek, Parks Supt. reviewed the submittals from the three firms and have ranked them as follows: 1) Edlund & Dritenbas 2) W.K. McCully & Assoc. 3) Angelo Francis Corva Assoc. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends approval of the above prioritized short list and requests authorization to begin contract negotiation with the No. 1 ranked firm, Edlund and Dritenbas Architects. Once an agreeable contract is prepared, staff will present it to the Board for approval. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the prioritized short list and authorized staff to begin contract negotiations with Edlund and Dritenbas Architects; as recommended by staff. JANUARY 24, 1995 48 BOOK 94 0 AMENDMENTS TO I.R. SOCCER ASSOCIATION LEASE AND I.R. ARCHERS LICENSE AGREEMENT TO REVISE LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 16, 1995: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Directo �l SUBJECT: Amendments to Indian River Soccer Association Lease and Indian River Archers License Agreement to Revise Legal Descriptions DATE: January 16, 1995 FILE: LEASE.AGN DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS To better define the affected areas of the above subject agreements, the County staff, and both the Soccer Association and Archer Club, have agreed to redefine the lease and license areas. The change to the Soccer Association shifts the lease area northerly and the change to the Archer Club shifts the license area southerly. This change will result in less clearing and more buffer between the two activities. RECOrNINDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends that the Board approve the two amendments as presented. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, that the Board approve the Amendment to Lease with Indian River Soccer Association and Amendment to License with Indian River Archers, Inc.; as recommended by staff. Under discussion, Commissioner Adams questioned whether there would be a conflict with the archery group and Public Works Director James Davis responded that the only change is the east to west 400 foot x 729 foot section which has shifted 100 feet to the north. The archery section of 332 feet x 929 feet has shifted a little bit southerly. This shift does not affect the fairgrounds master plan. We have just shifted one piece north and another one south. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion carried unanimously.

RATE RESOLUTION TO: (A) ESTABLISH A RATE EQUALIZATION CHARGE; (B) LINE EXTENSION FEES ADJUSTMENT The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 16, 1995: DATE: January 16, 1995 TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRAT ,:L THRU: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES PREPARED AND STAFFED BY: HARRY E. ASHER ASSISTANT DIRECTIR OF UTILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: RATE RESOLUTION TO (a) ESTABLISH A RATE EQUALIZATION CHARGE (b) LINE EXTENSION FEES ADJUSTMENT BACKGROUND: The Department of Utility Services, in a continuing effort to ensure equal treatment of its customer base, has reviewed the current Rate Resolution and proposes amendments as they relate to the following items: (a) Establish a Rate Equalization Charge (b) Line Extension Fee Adjustment ANALYSIS: The Department proposes the attached ammendment to the current Rate Resolution 91-9 as follows: (a) Establish a Rate Equalization Charge of 6% to be charged to all non -County customers. This charge will ensure that all non -County customers will be paying the same as current County customers. (b) Line Extension Fee Adjustment - The Line Extension Fee is charged to recover line extension costs in areas that have not been assessed. The current Line Extension Fees (Water - $6.51 per linear front foot - Sewer - $15.77 per linear front foot) were approved on August 17, 1993 (Copy of minutes attached). The rates adopted at that time were taken from the existing GDU rate schedule during the GDU acquisition. The Department has analyzed the current cost for installation of water line extensions based on two of its most recent bids for'Phase V. The results indicate an increase in costs (copy of analysis attached) and a need to adjust the Water Line Extension Fee from $6.51 to $11.25 per linear front foot. The Department proposes no change to the Sewer Line Extension Fee at this time. JANUARY 24, 1995 50 BOOK RECOIr MMIDATION: The staff of the Department of Utility Services -recommends adoption of the attached Resolution which sets forth the above described changes and additions amending Resolution 91-31, which adopted rates, fees, and charges for the Department of Utility Services pursuant to the authority of Ordinance 91-9, etc. Director of Utility Services Terry Pinto explained that the adjustment was brought about by the County servicing properties outside the unincorporated area, such as the Town of Orchid where the total cost is less for utilities than County residents pay. This proposed resolution adds in a rate equalization rate of 6%, the same amount that is charged to County customers. This would result in the incorporated areas paying the same total charges as County residents. Commissioner Bird asked for further clarification, and Director Pinto responded that the County residents pay their charges plus a 6% franchise fee. However, the County is unable to charge the incorporated areas a franchise fee. Also, in the case where the County initiates a line extension without an assessment, for example a line for looping, the County is unable to recover the cost of the installation and the benefit to the resident is now more than the County can recover. Staff recommends that both sections be approved in order to put everyone on an equal basis. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the 'Board unanimously adopted Resolution 95-16, Amending Resolution No. 91-31, which adopted rates, fees, and charges for the Department of Utility Services pursuant to the authority of Ordinance No. 91-9, by adopting a new rats for line extension charges for water lines and a new rate equalization charge of 6% for non - unincorporated area customers, as recommended by staff.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that: 1. The Schedule of Line Extension Charges for the recovery of line exten- sion costs associated with water lines that have been installed but which have not been assessed and which are available for service, attached to this resolution as Exhibit "A," is adopted as an additional rate to be added to the rates already adopted by Resolution No. 91-31. 2. The Schedule of Water and Sewer Rates, Fees, and Charges adopted for use by the Department of Utility Services by Resolution No. 91-31 is amended by adding the language and charges shown on Exhibit "A" attached to this resolution relating to creating a new charge to be called a "Rate Equalization Charge." 3. These changes shall go into effect on adoption of this resolution.

CHASTA AND STAFFED MANAGER OF ASSE NT PROJECTS BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: WATER EXPANSION PLAN - PiiASE VI RESOLUTIONS I AND II INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -93-34 -DS BACKGROUND On October 2-3, 1990, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners gave conceptual approval of the installation of water facilities as part of the water main extension growth plan. The JANUARY 24, 1995 54 BOOK 94 pnt� -185 M Department of Utility Services has developed a phased plan to meet the Comprehensive Plan requirements. Phase I was completed in January 1993, Phase II in December 1993, and Phase III in July 1994. On November 9, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners approved proceeding with proposed Phases IV, V, and VI (see attached agenda item and minutes). on September 28, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners approved continuing service agreements for design, construction, and inspection services for water projects with: If. F. Lenz Company Masteller and-Moler, Inc. Carter Associates, Inc. Carter Associates, Inc., was selected for these services on Phase VI. We are now ready to begin the assessment process associated with this project (see attached minutes and agenda item). ANALYSIS Attached are Resolutions I and II for the assessment project. The project will generally serve the following described areas: -------------------------------------------------------- Subdivision -------------------------------------------------------------------- Unit Lots IDs Location Dixie Gardens 2 62 55 7th P1. SW, 7th Ln SW, and 3rd Ct. SW west of Old Dixie, 7th Ln SW to 6th Ave. SW Dixie Heights 1 thru 5 646 512 11th Ln SW to 17th St. SW, 2nd Ave. SW to 5th Ave. SW Piney Oaks S/D 6 6 Vero Lakes H-1, H-1 95th St. (CR 512) to 89th Estates St., 100th Ave. to 104th Ave. Portions of One, A, B, 838 608 87th St. from 90th Ave. (CR C, If & H-3 510) to 98th Ave. to 89th Non -platted Parcels St. to 104th Ave. 28 28 Various throughout the above ------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals -------- ----------------------- Totals 1,580 1,209 The attached map displays the area to benefit from the assessment project. The total estimated project cost is $2,903,410.11, less a nonassessed transmission main cost of $387,664.26. The total estimated cost to be assessed is $2,515,745.85. The total estimated cost per square foot is $0.159061. This project is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed water line route. In the interim, financing will be through the use of impact fee funds. Ninety-six and one-half percent (96.50) of the properties are substandard or "undersized" according to Indian River County's Comprehensive Plan and the County Public Health Unit, Division of Environmental Health, which require that new lots utilizing well and septic systems be a minimum of one-half acre. If served by a public water system, the lot may be reduced to one-quarter acre in size. Lots not meeting these minimum standards are called "undersized lots." RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Resolutions I and II and set the public hearing date. JANUARY 24, 1995 55 Bou Dan Chastain, manager of assessment projects, gave a brief overview of Phase VI of the Water Expansion Plan which will serve a portion of Vero Lake Estates and Dixie Heights, together with some adjoining properties (portions of Dixie Gardens). The total project will serve 1580 lots owned by 1209 parcel identification numbers. The total project cost is estimated at $2,903,410.11, less a non -assessed transmission main cost of $387,664.26, for a total assessment cost on the project of $2,515,745.85, equating to a cost per square foot of .159061 cents. The project will be paid through the assessments of the benefiting property owners and, in the interim, with financing through the use of impact fee funds. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board adopt Resolution 95-17 providing for Phase VI of the Water Main Extension Growth Plan; Under discussion, Commissioner Bird again raised the issue of the interest rate charged residents who pay assessments on a _deferred basis. He felt the interest rate at 2% above prime is a little high to charge people who are obviously already having a difficult financial problem and wondered if the County might be able to lower the rate somewhat. He suggested perhaps using a different formula but understood that administrative, collection and other costs must be recovered. OMB Director Joseph Baird responded by advising that the interest rate at 2% above prime was a policy decision which was based on the County's cost of money. Director Baird also wanted the Board to be aware that the County does not charge for recording the liens or other incidental expenses related to these items. He felt it is reasonable to charge 10.5%, which is 2% above prime. He also reminded the Board that the residents are being charged a fixed rate, rather than a variable rate, which is also a benefit. Commissioner Adams iterated that the Board does not want to get into competition with banks and stated that she felt each project should be tied to something measurable which gives the County some basis to compare costs. Commissioner Bird inquired as to what kind of cost the County would pay today to borrow funds. Director Baird responded there would be an issuance cost of about another $100,000, plus underwriter fees, discounts and fees for bond counsel. His estimate was that the cost would be about 8%, plus $100,000, depending on the size of the project. JANUARY 24, 1995 56 BOOK 94 PAGE X87 Commissioner Bird felt he would like to revise the rate to 1% above prime as he is aware that public acceptance of these projects is not always unanimous and we need to make it easier on residents. However, he felt that the rate should be left at 10.5% for now, with an option to lower the rate at the coming public hearing. Chairman Macht asked for a staff report on the various avenues which might be open relative to setting the costs. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board adopt Resolution 95-18 setting a time and place at which the owners of properties located generally in various subdivisions including Dixie Heights and Vero Lake Estates, and other interested persons, may appear before the Board of County Commissioners and be heard as to the propriety and advisability of constructing Phase VI of the Water Main Extension Growth Plan. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and both motions carried unanimously.

A detailed report will be coming out soon. It was a rather intense 2 days and she felt the Governor's office heard loud and clear the Advisory Council on Intergovernmental Relations. They will be doing some additional research and, hopefully, some very good things will come out of it; perhaps not in this year's legislature, but certainly in next year's. The lobbying effort will obviously center on these items through the Florida Association of Counties and the Florida League of Cities. In regard to unfunded mandates, she .spoke with the past president of the National Association of Counties and former Pinellas County commissioner, Barbara Sheen Todd, who has agreed to come to Indian River County on a tentative date of February 15, 1995. Commissioner Adams felt a luncheon forum would be appropriate and suggested that elected officials, the press and any interested business or community residents be invited to hear Ms. Todd talk about unfunded mandates. Chairman Macht, apropos of Commissioner Adams' report, advised the Board that Assistant County Attorney Terrence O'Brien went to Jacksonville for a water district regional meeting and will have a report that he believes the Board will find very interesting as it dovetails with what Commissioner Adams has reported.
