B. Miscellaneous Budget Amendment 008
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 4, 1995:
TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners
DATE: December 4, 1995
SUBJECT: MISCELLANEOUS BUDGET AMENDMENT 008
CONSENT AGENDA
FROM: Joseph A Bair
OMB Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
1. The attached budget amendment establishes a Beach Renourishment/PEP Reef Fund. Prior to
establishing this fund the Tourist Development Fund was the source for the accounting.
2. Hibiscus House was awarded $25,000 for the 1994/95 fiscal year. -Staff has reviewed all the
documentation for the payment and concur. The 1994/95 books are closed, therefore the
payment must be made from 1995/96 fiscal year. The attached entry appropriates the funding.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached -budget amendment
008.
Commissioner Eggert wanted to know why Hibiscus House was to
be paid from the reserve for contingencies, and Budget Director Joe
Baird responded that he did not receive adequate documentation
until the busy time of the year. Therefore, the funds are being
paid out of the new year's funds. It is a prior year obligation
which was not processed in time to be paid from the 1994/95 budget.
December 12, 1995
2
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert,
SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, that the Board
approve Budget Amendment 008, as recommended
by staff.
Under discussion, Director Baird stated that 1994/95 had been
a transition year for a lot of organizations and the County is
requiring more statistics.
Chairman Macht felt the County has an obligation to make the
organizations account for all funds.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
passed unanimously.

SUBJECT: DU -J's Inc.'s Request for Final Plat Approval for a
Commercial Subdivision to be Known as DU -J's Subdivision
It is requested that the data herein presented be=given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of December 12, 1995.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
DU -J's Subdivision is a 2 lot subdivision of 1.93 acres of
commercial property. Site plan approval has been granted for
construction of a convenience store/gas station on the southern lot
(Lot 1). The developer is platting the property so that the
northern lot (Lot 2) can be sold separately. A plat is required
since this property was part of a larger parcel which has been
split since July 23, 1983. The subject property is zoned CG
(General Commercial) and has a C/I (Commercial/ Industrial) land use
designation.
On January 12, 1995, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted
preliminary plat approval for the proposed subdivision. The
subdivision is designed so that both lots will be serviced by
improvements constructed under the convenience store approved site
plan. The owner, DU -J's Inc., through its agent Mosby &
Associates, Inc., has submitted the following:
1. A plat in conformance with the approved preliminary plat.
ANALYSIS:
The subdivision has been designed so that both lots can utilize
common improvements provided with the convenience store. Since
both lots have frontage on paved streets, and any other necessary
improvements will be controlled through the site plan process, no
subdivision improvements are required. Any improvements on the
lots will be tied to the site plan process, and no certificate of
occupancy will be issued for uses on either lot until the
improvements necessary to serve the uses are completed and
inspected.
December 12, 1995
6
---All applicable requirements regarding final plat approval have been
satisfied. There are no publicly dedicated improvements to be
constructed as part of the subdivision. Therefore, no guarantees
of publicly dedicated improvements are required at this time.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners grant final plat approval for DU -J's
Subdivision.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously granted
the final plat approval for Du -J's Subdivision, as
recommended by staff.

hearing.
DECEMBER 12, 1995 11 BOOK 96 PKH 752,
BOOK 96 PAu 753
ANALYSIS
According to CDBG requirements, the Board must hold a second public
hearing to obtain public' -input on the county's proposed CDBG
application and to approve the application for submittal to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). This is the
required second public hearing. At this time, the Board must
formally authorize staff to submit the application and to sign the
necessary documents related to the application submittal.
As per direction provided by the Board of County Commissioners, the
county's consultant has prepared the proposed Neighborhood
Revitalization CDBG application. A copy of the application is on
file in the Board of County Commissioners office. As drafted, the
CDBG application requests approval of a $750,000.00 grant for
street paving and water line extension for the targeted areas. The
consultant and DCA believe that the county has a good chance of
receiving the grant.
The proposed application was reviewed and endorsed by the Community
Development Block Grant Citizen Advisory Committee on December 11,
1995.
ALTERNATIVES
With respect to the proposed grant application, the Board of County
Commissioners has three alternatives. These are:
• To approve the application as proposed
• To approve the proposed application with changes
• To reject the proposed application
If the Board chooses either of the first two alternatives, the
application will be submitted to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs for consideration. If the grant is obtained, the
consultant will be paid for application preparation from grant
funds. If the application is denied, the county will not pay any
application preparation fee to the consultant. If the Board
chooses the third alternative and declines to submit the CDBG
application, the county will be required to pay the consultant for
preparation of the application.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
proposed application and authorize the public works director to
submit the application to the Florida Department of Community
Affairs for their consideration.
Community Development Director Bob Keating reviewed the
proposal for the Board and advised that staff recommends approval
and adoption of the resolution.
Robert Johnson of Clark Roumelis and Associates, consultant,
passed out a summary of the project with excerpts from the
application showing some minor revisions. Mr. Johnson advised that
the County's score went up by a few points and that the project
will include 6,000 linear feet of water lines, 11 fire hydrants,
DECEMBER 12, 1995 12
and engineering and administrative costs. The project will assist
285 individuals.
Commissioner Adams wished the project Godspeed.
Commissioner Eggert questioned why the scores went up, and Mr.
Johnson advised there were some improvements in equal opportunity
employment.
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.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION J01W PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
WITH FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 4, 1995:
TO: James Chandler
County Administrator
FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICPA
Community Development Director
DATE: December 4, 1995
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO INITIATE A PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION JOINT
PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of December 12, 1995. 1
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
At the September 19, 1995 Board of County Commissioners meeting,
the Board approved the submittal of an applicatioD for Federal
Transit Administration Section 9 Grant funds. The County will pass
through the grant funds to the Indian River County Council on
Aging, Inc. for continuation and expansion of public transportation
services. As approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the
grant application proposes matching funds for the Section 9 grant
from Indian River County, the City of Vero Beach, and a State
Public Transit Block Grant.
Enacted by the Florida Legislature to provide a state -based source
of funding for public transit, state Public Transit Block Grant
funds are awarded to those public transit providers eligible to
receive funding from the Federal Transit Administration's Section
9 and 18 programs and to Community Transportation Coordinators.
The Indian River County MPO has included the proposed Public
Transit Block Grant funding in its Fiscal Year 1995/96 - 1999/00
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) under its Public
Transportation Development projects. The total amount of Indian
River County's Public Transit Block Grant is approximately
$111,000. The entire grant amount will be used to provide a
portion of the required match for FTA Section 9 operating and
capital expenditures.
According to state regulations, the block grant funds may be used
for eligible capital and operating costs of public transit
providers. Projects are to be consistent with applicable approved
local government comprehensive plans. For capital projects, State
participation is limited to 50% of the nonfederal share. For
support of transit operations, state participation may not exceed
the lesser of 50% of the total eligible operating costs of the
public transit services, or the total revenue (excluding federal
funds and farebox and advertising revenues) received by the transit
provider for operating expenses. Local tax revenues made available
for operating costs shall not be supplanted by block grant funds.
DECEMBER 12, 1995 15 Bm 96 PAu 756
Boni 96 757

As with the FTA Section 9 program, only public agencies may be
designated recipients of block grant funds, although a nonprofit
provider may receive block grant funds through a designated
recipient. Under these restrictions, the Indian River County
Council on Aging has requested that the Board of County
Commissioners apply for the block grant funds on its behalf.
ANALYSIS
To receive the Public Transit Block Grant, a recipient must enter
into a Joint Participation =Agreement (JPA) with the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT). A copy of the proposed JPA is
available for review in the offices of the Board of County
Commissioners. As proposed, the JPA reflects ;79,430 to be
provided by the state for operating expenses. At a later date, a
JPA for capital funding will be presented to the Board for
approval. County staff have requested that FDOT enter into
separate JPAs with the County for operating and capital funding so
that any delays resulting from federal requirements for capital
expenditures do not interfere with the Council on Aging's funding
for transit operations.
The JPA, an agreement between FDOT and Indian River County,
specifies the terms which the County must meet in order to receive
Public Transit Block Grant funding. In accordance with the terms
of the JPA, Indian River County must meet several requirements.
One of the most important of these requirements is that the County
submit a Transit Development Plan to FDOT. The Indian River County
MPO recently developed a Transit Development Plan for the entire
MPO area, and submitted the plan to FDOT in September 1995 for use
with this Public Transit Block Grant.
By May 1996, the County must also publish in the newspaper the
productivity and performance measures established for the transit
system. The Council on Aging will provide these data along with
other required reports of local transit service. There are also
equal employment and disadvantaged business requirements in the
JPA. While no formal plan is required of the County, the County is
to ensure that disadvantaged persons and businesses are afforded
the maximum opportunity to participate in employment or
contracting. As the transit service provider, the Council on Aging
has prepared plans to meet the equal employment and disadvantaged
business requirements and submitted these plans to the Federal
Transit Administration.
The attached resolution authorizes the Chairman to sign the Joint
Participation Agreement with FDOT. Upon the Board's approval of
the JPA and adoption of the resolution, County staff will transmit
the JPA to FDOT. Payments under the JPA commence upon the date of
the JPA's execution, and FDOT expects to have the JPA fully
executed by January 1, 1996.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
attached Public Transportation Joint Participation Agreement and
adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Chairman to sign the
agreement.
DECEMBER 12, 1995 16

Director Bob Keating reviewed the memorandum for the Board and

On February 14, 1995 the Board of County Commissioners approved
employee benefits provider contracts for fiscal 1994-95. The
contracts for life insurance with Trans -General Insurance Company
(formerly GroupAmerica Insurance Company) and for disability
insurance with Florida Combined Life Insurance Company were for two
years and will not require attention at this time since there are
no rate changes.
The Minimum Premium Agreement with Anthem Life Insurance Company
(Acordia of South Florida, Inc.) for medical coverage, utilization
management and preferred provider organization access was proposed
for two years with a cost increase cap of 9% for the second year
(which is fiscal 1995-96.) Since there is a rate change, the
contract is subject to approval by the Board of County
Commissioners.
It is noteworthy that during the 1994-95 health claims year, the
paid claims exceeded the monthly claim limits by $413,316. and
without claims recoupment Acordia of South Florida, Inc. must
absorb this deficit. The 9% cost increase for 1995-96 may serve as
a partial offset of an unrecovered deficit. °
Finally, the Service Standards Agreement with Acordia of South
Florida, Inc. for claims processing and insurance services was a
one year contract which now needs approval for fiscal 1995-96.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of County Commissioners authorize the Chairman to execute
the Minimum Premium Agreement and the Service Standards Agreement.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert approved Amendment No. 2 to
Minimum Premium Agreement with Anthem Life Insurance

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. US -95 -25 -CS
During the, low -flow period of the day, at the above -referenced location, the
sewage flow has a tendency to become septic, specifically, during on and off
pumping times. This process creates hydrosulfuric acid gas and produces a
rotten egg smell. This gas causes an oxidation process to occur on all
metal; such as, pipe, brass pipe, locks, fences, etc. This natural gas smell
DECEMBER 12, 1995

is disturbing to the nearby residents. The County has received many
complaints and would like to resolve this odor problem and eliminate the
damaging gas produced.
ANALYSIS
The County is presently piloting several odor elimination systems. Due to
the location of nearby homes, the County wishes to install the biofiltration
biocube at the Vero Shores Lift Station. It has been found to be a reliable
system, environmentally friendly, and requires little maintenance during
operation. The engineering staff has visited and witnessed a successful
operation of the system in other counties. It has a contact stabilization
process, the same as the wastewater treatment process that we have known for
years. The gas is saturated and vaporized prior to introduction to the
microbes. The result is no more gas. The system will be purchased from EG&G
Biofiltration at a cost of $18,345.00, as presented. The performance
guarantee states,"in the event the system does not work, EG&G has agreed that
the County may return the system within 90 days." This will be funded
through the renewal and replacement fund.
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends the Board of
County Commissioners approve this purchase in the amount of $18,345.00, from
EG&G Biofiltration, as presented. -
Environmental Engineer Robbie Wisemen advised this is a
treatment to remove odors which are created by sulphuric acid and
is environmentally sound and cheap to maintain.
Administrator Chandler stated there is an additional safeguard
which is a 90 day guarantee.
Commissioner Bird wondered if this could be used at the lift
station where complaints have been received regarding odors, and
Director of Utility Services Terry Pinto responded there is a
difference is the size of the facilities. If this process works,
it could possibly be considered for larger facilities.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved
the purchase in the amount of $18,345 from EG&G
Biofiltration, as recommended by staff.

BACKGROUND
On September 21, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners approved
the award of the Labor Contract, Bid No. 4007. (See Attached
Minutes.) The Department of Utility Services proposed to use this
labor contract to extend the distributions system within the
subject area.
The above subject project is designed for construction. This
project is comprised of the placement of approximately 805 linear
feet of 6 -inch PVC water main and fittings, 2 single services and
one fire hydrant assembly.
ANALYSIS
The cost of the labor to construct the 6 -inch PVC water main under
the labor contract is $5,341.75 (See Attached Work Authorization
No. 34 with Driveways, Inc.) The pipe, valves, and fittings will
be supplied by the County at a cost 'of $5,200.00. In-house
engineering, inspection, and administrative costs are estimated to
be $1,580.00.
The construction of this water line extension is to accommodate new
housing construction. All construction costs for this water line
extension will be recovered under the "Sebastian Water Expansion -
Phase I" construction project.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of -Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the execution of the attached
agreement, which approves Work Authorization No. 34, with
Driveways, Inc., to construct the water line in the amount of
$5,341.75 to extend an estimated total of 805 linear feet of water
main and authorizes expenditure of $6,780.00 materials and in-house
support, for a total project cost of $12,121.75.

At the October 4, 1994 public hearing, the total estimated project
cost of $1,945,240.46 was approved by the Board of County
Commissioners, subject to square footage reductions of two (2) non -
platted parcels. The estimated preliminary assessment was
$1,882,795.46, with an estimated assessment cost of $0.152621 per
square foot. The total final project cost is $1,673,986.27, less
a non -assessed cost of $114,102.16, for a final assessment of
$1,559,884.11, which equates to a final cost of $0.128454 (rounded)
per square foot of property assessed. (See attached.) The final
assessment is $0.024167 per square foot less than the preliminary
assessment.

Chairman Macht felt it appears as though the State intends to
impose their system over ours which will limit the County's ability
to set fines and fees. He felt the County needs some advice on
what this means.
Commissioner Adams stated that FACo staff would be glad to
supply some more information.
Chairman Macht also questioned whether the County is keeping
up with the regulations on retirement funds and asked staff for a
report.

FROM: RONALD R. BROOKS, MANAGER
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT
SUBJECT: LANDFILL MANAGEMENT AND STORAGE OF SURFACE WATERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Attached for informational purposes is a draft permit for
management and storage of stormwater at the landfill. This is a
notice of intent to issue a permit which has been in processing
with the Department'of Environmental Protection since February of
1994.
The issue that caused the drawn-out processing was mitigation of
wetlands which was resolved by agreeing to improve approximately
12 acres of wetland and scrub habitat on South Old Dixie, and
establish the property as a conservation easement.
Director Pinto advised the Board that the DEP did approve the
property on South Old Dixie for mitigation. He felt it is
interesting to see the DEP requirements for maintaining mitigated
areas which will cost substantial dollars.
No action taken.

the Community Church Chorale Society Christmas music and felt it
