Appendix A-CIE 2019
Bill Schutt, Chief of Long Range Planning, appeared before the Board with
proposed amendments to the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the
County's Comprehensive Plan. Chief Schutt, with the use of a PowerPoint
presentation, explained that state law required the CIE to be updated annually.
He noted that this CIE amendment also provides a complete update of the
Capital Improvements Program (CIP) which lists capital expenditures over the
next five (5) years.
Details of Indian River Lagoon conservation and restoration projects were
presented next. The Board had previously directed staff to commit to spending
20%of the one-cent local option sales tax on lagoon-related projects, and Chief
Schutt detailed the projects funded under this directive.
Commissioner Solari requested further discussion on the need to initiate new
projects to improve lagoon health. County Administrator Jason Brown offered
to forward the full breakdown of lagoon-related spending, and agreed to a
follow-up policy discussion at a future meeting.

The presentation continued with the largest CIP category, Transportation, and
funding updates for those projects. Commissioner Zorc asked and received
answers from staff regarding the timeline and funding for the expansion of
County Roads 510 and 512.

Szpyrka on the 43rd Avenue/State Road 60 expansion. Director Szpyrka
advised that the project had been bid, and pending Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) approval, construction was projected to begin in late
February 2020.
The presentation concluded with a review of major non-transportation related
projects, with Board discussion focusing on the last line item, Sheriff Facility
Improvements and Needs Design. Commissioner Solari suggested postponing
this project in light of the fact that a new Sheriff would be elected later this
year, and would need time to assess the needs of the Sheriffs Department.
Commissioner O'Bryan agreed with this reasoning, and suggested moving the
project back two (2)years to Fiscal Year 2021/22.
Commissioner Zorc requested further information regarding lagoon-related land
purchases. Community Development Director Roland DeBlois confirmed that
the figures presented included grant-fulfillment commitments, but agreed to
look into it further. Commissioner Solari spoke in favor of the increased
funding for conservation; he suggested having Beth Powell,Assistant Manager
of Parks and Conservation Resources, provide an update on all projects at a
future meeting.
Chairman Adams opened the Public Hearing for comments. There being none,
the Chairman closed the Public Hearing.
County Administrator Jason Brown requested a correction to the report, noting
that the Moorhen Marsh Project was fully funded.
Commissioner Zorc returned to discussion of the Sheriffs Facility Improvement
Project, suggesting an early start to the RFP process in advance of the 2-year
delay. Commissioners Solari and Flescher opined that it would be best to wait.
A motion was made by Commissioner Solari,seconded by Commissioner
O'Bryan,to adopt Ordinance 2019-020, amending the text of the Comprehensive
Plan's Capital Improvements Element by updating the County's 5 year Capital
Improvements Program (CIP)schedule and related data and analysis sections;
and providing severability and effective date,with two modifications. The CIP
would be modified to 1) reflect a delay to the Sheriffs Facility Improvements and
Needs Design Project by 2 years, to Fiscal Year 2021/22, and 2) reflect that the
Moorhen Marsh Project was fully funded. The motion carried by the following
vote:

Gardens property as a template for an affordable housing project, and 2) direct

project.

property.

housing issue being addressed.
