C. Changing Interest Rate on All County Financing (Petition
Paving, Utility Assessment Products, Utility Impact Fee, Etc.)
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of January 9, 1996:
TO: Members oaf the Board
of County Commissioners
DATE: January 9, 1996
SUBJECT: CHANGING THE INTEREST RATE ON ALL COUNTY FINANCING
(PETITION PAVING, UTIIdTY ASSESSMENT PROJECTS, UT XrY

FROM: Joseph A.B
OMB Director
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Faxed interest rates charged by the County for financing utility assessments, utility impact fees,
petition paving assessments, and any other financing are scheduled to be set on an annual basis in
January of each year. For the 1995 calendar year, the amessmeut/financing fixed interest rate was
set at the prime rate which was 8 h% at the time. The prime interest rate in the Wall Street Journal
today is 8 h% which would mean no change in the rate from 1995 to 1996. The only exception to
this interest nate would be if the project was directly affiliated with a bond issue and the requirements
dictated a different interest rate.

Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the fixed interest rate of 8 'h%.
ON MOTION by Commissioner
Commissioner Bird, the Board
the fixed interest rate for
County financing of petition

etc., as recommended by staff.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing for the Paving & Drainage Improvements to 9th Place and
21st Avenue in Block Villa Subdivision
DATE: January 3, 1996
______________________________________
DESCRIPTION AND CONDMONS
On December 19, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 95-
166 providing for certain paving and drainage improvements to 9th Place and 21st Avenue
In Block Villa Subdivision. A petition was received from the property owners on this road.
Owners of 8 of the 12 properties signed the petition making it 67% in favor of having this
road paved.
On December 19, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners adopted another Resolution
95-167 setting the date and time for a Public Hearing to discuss the advisability, cost and
amount of the assessment against each property owner. This hearing is scheduled
for January 16, 1996.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners move to approve the assessment
roll, and confirming resolution with changes, if airy, made after input at the January 16, 1996
Public Hearing. Revised confirming resolution and assessment roll will be forwarded to
Chairman of the Board for signature. The Assessment Roll and assessment plat are on file
with the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioner's office.
County Engineer Michelle Gentile reviewed the project for the
Board.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone
wished to be heard in this matter.
Paul Grenier of 21st Avenue was against the project because he
feared there would be damage to the oak trees. Mr. Grenier
explained that he is in the landscaping industry and that it takes
5 years for a damaged tree to eventually die.
Chairman Adams wanted to be sure we are not getting rid of the
trees and Ms. Gentile responded that the road as designed is 22
feet wide and can be changed to 20 feet, as well as putting the
drainage on the west side of the road, which will avoid damage to
the trees.
Director Jim Davis explained that the services of an urban
forester are always requested and that the department does take the
advice given. The County will do everything possible to preserve
the trees.

BOOK 97 u,E 102
.Commissioner Tippin recalled that coffer dams were built
around trees in the center of the road on the Johns Island paving
project and the trees are still thriving. He felt that much of the
damage is caused by carelessness on. the part of the contractor and
it must be made emphatically clear that carelessness will not be
tolerated.
Richard Rhodes of 915 21st Avenue was concerned about drainage
backing up at his property, especially during rainy weather. He
also felt that he and his daughter-in-law who resides at the other
end of 21st Avenue are being penalized because they have acreage
rather than a lot. He inquired whether the assessments could be
figured some other way because his assessment is over $9,000. He
is now renting this property and does not have homestead exemption.
Director Davis explained that the existing drainage in the
area is not being modified but improved and should be better than
it is today. He also explained that staff had considered other
assessment options in allocating the costs, but felt this would be
the most equitable method.
Robert Oziemkowski of 956 21st Avenue felt that if the trees
can be saved, he would not be opposed to the project. He felt that
the 14 foot culverts planned for driveways would be excessive, and
Ms. Gentile explained that 14 feet must be used to allow for
widening of driveways.
Mr. Oziemkowski brought up a problem with an access from
Heritage Estates which allows drivers to cut across the front
corner of his neighbor's property. He wanted to know what could be
done to maintain this as a dead-end street as it was intended.
Director Davis responded that there is no right-of-way and the
drivers are trespassing. The property could be posted but this
project will not make it more accessible.
Tracey Monihan presented 2 letters from property owners in
favor of the project and requested that they be made part of the
record.
LETTERS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE

The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this
matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing.

Albert Mill of 155 8th Court was in favor of the paving but
requested an adjustment in his assessment. His property is on the
cul-de-sac and, while his neighbors' assessments are from $1500 to
$1600, his assessment is $2534.
Commissioner Bird explained that the County pays 25% of the
cost of the project and Mr. Mill's neighbors' assessments would
have to be increased to pick up the difference were Mr. Mill's
assessment to be lowered.
Mr. Mill then requested a plan to spread out the payments over
a longer period of time, and Director Davis responded that the
normal payback period is 2 years.
Linda Brown of 825 2nd Street also requested a 2 year payment
period, and Director Davis further explained that, after the
project is completed in 4 to 5 months, a bill will be sent. If the
property owner does not wish to make payment in 90 days, he can
elect to pay in 2 annual installments.

U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DAVID WELDON -
UPDATE ON FEDERAL BUDGET AND OTHER ISSUES
Chairman Adams welcomed Congressman David Weldon and added
that the Board is grateful for his time.
Representative David Weldon thanked the Board for the
opportunity to be heard. He began that there has been a lot of
discussion about the budget crisis and he wanted the American
people to recognize that they are talking about the future of the
nation. He felt that if the country stopped borrowing, interest
rates could drop as low as 5.50 on home mortgages and on car loans
from 6% to 8%. He also felt that county government bond interest
rates could drop dramatically. Representative Weldon commented
that there have been 17 or 18 government shutdowns since 1982 all
of which involved Republican presidents wanting to spend more money
with Democratic senators and representatives wanting to spend less.
The shutdown this time has gone around 180 degrees. They are
continuing to meet daily and will continue to work to resolve the
problems.
Representative Weldon then gave a brief overview of some of
the things currently being worked on such as regulatory relief,
unfunded mandates, tort and legal reform, and beach erosion which
is a serious concern here in Indian River County. His belief is
that a -lot of the erosion is caused by inlets created by the Army
Corps of Engineers.
Representative Weldon then announced an arts competition where
students can submit and display their art at the Capitol.
Applications are being accepted from Indian River, Osceola and Polk
Counties from any high school students who want to participate.
Students can contact Representative Weldon's office or the Brevard
Cultural Alliance.
Commissioner Bird wanted to know what is accomplished by
shutting down the government, losing productivity and causing
inconvenience to the citizens, when the federal employees are then
paid retroactively and end up with a paid vacation.
Representative Weldon gave a brief historical perspective and
stated that in prior shutdowns, Presidents vetoed appropriations
bills because they were too big while President Clinton vetoed the
current proposals because they were too small. Previously,
Presidents gave in and signed the bill and the shutdowns never
.lasted more than 2-3 days. He believed that in this case the press
put the blame on the legislators and no one expected the President
to allow it to last this long. They are proposing new legislation
to prevent this from happening again with a provision to declare
JANUARY 16, 1996 20
all employees essential. Hopefully they will work out a
legislative solution, but he felt we have a liberal President who
wants to raise taxes and spend more money.
Commissioner Eggert commented that the Republican leaders
should explain the Medicare and Medicaid changes more fully to
avoid having lots of people who are afraid.
Representative Weldon stated that Bill and Hillary proposed to
slow the rate of growth in 1993 and use the savings to pay for
health care. Republicans propose doing the same thing but they
propose using the savings to keep Medicare solvent. He believed
that their plan does not take any benefits away from seniors but
offers some other options. He felt the President has resorted to
scare tactics for political mileage and he believes that is very
wrong.
Chairman Adams expressed the Board's appreciation to
Representative Weldon.

of $5,341.75. The contractor has completed the project and has
submitted his request for final payment, which includes a decrease
of $236.25 as reflected on Change Order No. 1. (See attached.)

has been satisfactorily completed. The original labor contract
price was $5,341.75, and the final labor contract price is

Commissioner Eggert presented correspondence from the Cultural
Council of Indian River County requesting letters to the
Legislature for continued cultural funding:

JANIZARY 15, Imre
The Secretary of State's Legislative Advocacy Pep Rally was standing room only with several representatives from Indian
River County. Even though Florida now ranks #2 among all states for cultural funding, Sandra Mortham indicated that this
will be an even more difficult year for cultural funding than last and outlined key advocacy strategies. Major themes
emerging this year am to our benefit: education and economic development. When it gets down to the final negotiations.
however, the net results have more to do with effective lobbying.
Organizations are urged to ask their legislators to write to Sandra Mortham requesting support not only for their district
projects but for all cultural funding requests. In addition, request that your local delegations help lobby the key
appropriations committees on behalf of cultuml funding. If a local legislator serves on an appropriations committee, ask
them to instruct the committee stafflo make cultural funding a priority in their recommendations to the committee. If your
local legislators do not serve on appropriations committees, ask them to commit to talking with members who do serve on
the key appropriations committees about• instructing the committee staff to make cultural funding a priority in staff
recommendations. The appropriations committees and their staff are:

DISCUSSION REGARDING SUGGESTION BOX PROGRAM
Commissioner Bird asked for clarification of the suggestion
box program. He felt the basic idea sounds great but wondered how
it will work and how to draw a line between employees and division
heads. He wanted to know if a division head was eligible to win an
award or whether it would be part of his job description.
Chairman Adams agreed there should be some clarification as to
caps on the awards and how to reward good safety suggestions and
other items not tangible in value.
Commissioner Eggert reminded the Chairman that the County
already gives safety awards.
Commissioner Tippin felt employees should be encouraged to
share their ideas and wanted all types of suggestions. He
suggested possibly eliminating a monetary reward.
Chairman Adams felt a financial reward is important but
perhaps there should be a cap.
CONSENSUS was reached to ask the Suggestion Committee to
refine the program.
