PRESENTATION - EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION AWARDS
Chairman Adams advised that this was the first quarterly
employee suggestions awards. Chairman Adams, Administrator
Chandler, and OMB Director Joe Baird have reviewed and analyzed 32
good suggestions which were received. She advised that at the end
of the year, the employees who submitted the three best suggestions
will be awarded checks for $1,000, $750, and $500.
The first award, a certificate and check for $200 was
presented to Pete McLeod, Building Division, for his excellent
suggestion of a county issued credit card as a revenue source for
the County.
The second award, a certificate and check for $200 was
presented (later in the meeting) to Dave Krietzky, West Regional
WWTP, whose suggestion for restructuring employee schedules to
avoid overtime has already been implemented.
Third place award was a tie because of the similarity of

a certificate and check for $100, for their suggestions to
standardize County business cards and stationery.

The Board reviewed a Memorandum of April 17, 1996:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien - Assistant County Attorney
DATE: April 17, 1996
RE: SPECIAL PUBLIC DEFENDER CONTRACT
Since January, 1993, the County has had a contract with the law offices
of James T. Long, P.A., to provide legal representation of indigent
adults and juveniles in certain types of criminal cases. The contract
was awarded after a committee comprised of a commissioner, the chief
judge of the 19th Circuit, the Public Defender and the County Attorney
determined that it was both cost-effective and efficient for the County
to enter into such a contract. The Board of County Commissioners
then published an invitation to bid, and the contract was established on
a flat fee per case basis of $600.00 for non -capital felony cases and
$300.00 for misdemeanor and juvenile. The original contract had an
expiration date of December 31, 1994 but was extended to December 31,
1995.
Mr. Long has agreed to a further extension of the contract for one
year (to December 31, 1996) under the same terms.
It is recommended that the Board extend the subject contract to
December 31, 1996.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved
a one-year extension (to December 31, 1996) to the
contract of James T. Long, P.A., as recommended in
the memorandum.

TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.[[����,�
Public Works Director" WWW
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Extend 6C
Local Option Gas Tax Program for 30 Years
DATE: April 15, 1996
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONO
The Indian River County Local Option Gas Tax program was adopted
Sept. 1, 1985 and will expire August 31, 1996 unless re -authorized
by Country Ordinance. The program has contributed approximately $3
million per year to the County and the five municipalities within
the County. Attached is an authorizing ordinance to extend the
program for 30 years. In addition, previous staff reports and
memos document key issues regarding the program, especially
continued use of the existing three -parameter formula which
distributes the revenue to the County and five municipalities. The
formula considers population, equivalent lane miles of roadway, and
transportation expenditures for the preceding five year period.
Four municipalities containing at least 50% of all of the
incorporated area population support the formula, with the
exception of the City of Vero Beach.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Staff has communicated during the past year with all municipalities
regarding extending the program. It -appears that all cities support
the extension. The City of Vero Beach is not substantially gaining
Population compared to the other four municipalities and
unincorporated area, and as a result, the City's revenue share is
decreasing. Understandably, the City of Vero Beach desires to
change the distribution formula by adopting a one parameter formula
based upon transportation expenditures over the past five years.
Whereas this change would increase the County Unincorporated area
share, the other four municipalities would lose revenue. Based
upon staff's opinion that the three parameter formula considers a
broader range of.considerations, the Board directed staff on Oct.
17, 1995 to schedule a public hearing on an ordinance to extend the
program using the three parameter formula.
Subject to the public comments received at the Public Hearing, the
following alternatives are presented:
Alte native #
Adopt the ordinance to extend the Local Option Gas Tax
program for 30 years.
Alternative #2
Allow the program to expire Sept. 1, 1996.
RECOMMNDATI)NS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 whereby the program is extended.
If approved, staff will prepare interlocal agreements to be sent to
each municipality.
18
April 23, 1996
Director Davis confirmed that the formula must be reviewed
every two years as required by State law.

INDIAN RIVER MALL - SIGN PACKAGE APPROVAL

DATE: April 12, 1996
SUBJECT: Approval of the Indian River Mall Sign Package
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of April 23, 1996. _
April 23, 1996
22
BACKGROUND:
The development order (D.O.) for the Indian River Mall project
approved in July 1994 required the mall developer to obtain Board
of County Commissioners approval of a sign package for the entire
project (mall building, Indian River Commons shopping center, and
outparcels). The sign package, at a minimum, is required to show
the height, size, and type of free-standing signs to be utilized on
the entire project site. Subsequent to the D.O., the county and
the developer entered into a local developers agreement in June
1995 that re -iterated the D.O. sign approval requirements and
specifically provided that the developer could apply for a sign
regulations modification pursuant to normal allowances of sign
ordinances section 956.16(3).
Staff has worked with the developer over the last several months to
come up with a sign package that allows signs large enough for the
overall project but that are also generally in keeping with sign
principles reflected in the Wabasso Corridor Plan. The proposed
package provides all of the required height, size, and style
details. The Board is now to review and approve the sign package.
ANALYSIS:
The sign package proposes monument -style signs at three SR 60
driveway locations, and at the project's 66th Avenue and 26th
Street entrances. Taller, pylon signs are proposed at three SR 60
driveway locations. All signs have base and landscaping
treatments, and all tie into a common color and style theme for all
mall signs (external and internal) , including six small directional
signs located at various points within the project parking area
(see attachment #1).
The sign package also covers all commercial outparcels and
restricts signs for such outparcels to the Wabasso Corridor Plan
monument style sign requirements. The package also reflects a
modification allowed via the sign ordinance, whereby the project's
total free-standing sign area is reduced by 10% in return for
allowing an increased number of -signs on SR 60. Specifically, that
increase accommodates the use of monument -style signs on each side
of two SR 60 entrance driveways.
The following free-standing signs are proposed:
A. Four SR 60 driveway entrance monument -style signs, limited to
a height of 7'-8" (see attachment #2).
B. One SR 60 pylon sign with readerboard, limited to a height of
20' (see attachment #3)
C. One SR 60 pylon sign, limited to a height of 20' (see
attachment #4)
D. Two secondary entrance, monument -style signs; one at the 66th
Avenue driveway and one at the 26th Street driveway. These
signs are limited to a height of 6'-10" each (see attachment
#5)
E. One Indian River Commons shopping center pylon sign, limited
to a height of 20' (see attachment #6)
F. Six parking lot directional signs limited to a height of 7'-5"
each (see attachment #7)
G. All outparcel signs are limited to a height of 10' and will be
monument -style signs meeting the Wabasso Corridor Plan
standards for signs.

April 23, 1996 Boa 97 PACE 877
Box 97 PA;rAKS
In staff's opinion, the size'of the project (over 1,500,000 square
feet of commercial building area) warrants some signs larger and
taller than those contemplated by and allowed in the Wabasso
Corridor Plan. Also, it is staff's opinion that the proposed
package is in keeping with the principles of the Wabasso Corridor
Plan and the "informal" SR 60 corridor plan, and will result in an
actual decrease of overall free-standing sign area that would be
allowed under normal sign ordinance provisions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
proposed package for free-standing signs for the entire Indian
River Mall project (Indian River Mall, Indian River Commons
shopping center, outparcels).
Director Boling described sizes and locations of all signs as
indicated on the following drawings:

In response to Chairman Adams' inquiry, Director Boling
explained in detail the provision in the ordinance concerning the
reduction of size of signs which allows for more signs.
Commissioner Macht and Commissioner Eggert differed in their
recollection of how the pending ordinance doctrine was to apply in
this instance. A lengthy discussion ensued and Director Boling
advised that the pending ordinance doctrine is already in effect
and staff is calling it the "Interim SR 60 Plan". Director Boling
specified the four elements that were considered under the pending
ordinance doctrine are landscaping along SR 60, foundation
plantings along the building, monument -style signs for outparcels,
and architecture. It was determined that there was no need to vote
on the pending ordinance issue in this instance as it had been
previously settled. (April 9, 1996)
Community Development Director Bob Keating interjected that
the issue to be brought back (as to whether or not to apply any
corridor plan criteria) will be in connection to South US 1 and
other entrance areas.
In response to Commissioner Macht's inquiry about landscaping
around the signs, Director Boling advised that what is in the
drawings is what the developer will be held to.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved
the proposed package for free-standing signs for the
entire Indian River Mall project (includes Indian
River Mall, Indian River Commons shopping center,
outparcels), as presented by staff.
(CLERK'S NOTE: At this time, Chairman Adams noted that
Employee David Krietzky was in the Chambers and called him forward
to present a certificate and check for his suggestion concerning
overtime. See page 3 of minutes.)

INDUSTRIAL UTILITY DEPOSITS - ECONOMIC INCENTIVE FOR
TARGETED INDUSTRY BUSINESSES
Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that staff
originally was recommending waiving utility deposits as one of the
economic incentives on today's agenda; however, they are .now
recommending that the Board establish a policy to guarantee
industrial utility deposits for targeted industries. He then
reviewed a Memorandum of April 12, 1996:

Chief, Long -Range Planning
FROM: Douglas A. Kangur O - -
Economic Development Planner
RE: Consideration of establishing a policy -of waiving
industrial utility deposits
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular
meeting of April 23, 1996
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In an effort to attract new industrial businesses to the county,
Indian River County, in 1995, adopted an Economic Development
Strategy Plan. That plan addresses .specific issues concerning
economic development in the county. Strategic Actions 3.4 and 3.5
of the plan were established in ah attempt to relieve some of the
financial burdens that a new industrial company would encounter
when establishing a business in the county.
Strategic Action 3.4 states: By December 1995, the
county will consider amending its ordinances to
waive deposits for water and sewer for creditworthy
industrial customers with a five (5) year good
credit history with their previous utility
providers.
Strategic Action 3.5 states: By December 1995, the
county will coordinate with the City of Vero Beach
and Florida Power and Light to determine if they
are willing to consider offering the same incentive
of waiving deposits for electric service for
creditworthy industrial customers with a five (5)
year good credit history with their previous
utility providers.
On November 28, 1995, the Economic Development Council recommended
that the Board of County Commissioners approve deletion of
Strategic Action 3.5 from the county's Economic Development
Strategy Plan.
33
April 23, 1996 Book .97 PAv 887
Boa 7, fta
On March 26, 1996, the Economic Development Council reviewed a
staff report on the subject of utility deposits and unanimously
recommended that the Board of County Commissioners direct staff to
establish a program to guarantee payment of utility deposits for
new or expanding industrial and -target industry businesses.
• Present Situation
At the present time, all utility service providers in the county
(Indian River County, the City of Vero Beach, and FPL) require some
form of a security deposit from new customers to ensure that these
new customers will pay their utility bills in a timely manner. The
three utility providers in the county apply the same utility
deposit standards.
For new commercially metered electricity service, Florida Power and
Light requires a deposit approximately equal to the estimated
electricity charge for two months of service. FPL requires that new
service accounts pay this deposit prior to service hook-up. FPL,
however, will waive this deposit requirement in lieu of the new
customer providing either:
1) A bank letter of credit,
-OR-
2) A surety bond of deposit
These two options can be utilized as alternatives to paying the
required deposits.
1) Bank letter of credit: Florida Power and Light will accept a
bank issued irrevocable letter of credit instead of cash required
for a utility deposit. A letter of credit generally costs 1% of the
total amount covered and is renewed annually. Since commercially
metered account deposits are refundable only upon termination of
the utility service, the purchaser of the letter must pay the cost
of the letter each year that the letter remains in force.
Typically, the purchaser must provide the issue of the letter with
some form of collateral equal to or greater than the liability
amount covered by the letter. Liquid assets such as stocks, bonds
and CD's are generally used as collateral to cover the amount of
liability.
Bank issued letters of credit are usually feasible only if the
coverage is greater than $5,000. For less than $5,000, letters of
credit are not feasible because of the costs involved and
processing time.
2) Surety bond of deposit: A surety bond (or performance bond) of
deposit can also be utilized as a waiver of FPL's required service
deposits. Generally, a surety bond is used by a new customer who
has an electricity intensive operation in which the customer's
monthly electric bills are usually in the 1000's of dollars. A
surety bond would not be an effective alternative for a company
with little electricity usage per month. A surety bond costs
approximately $20 per $1000 dollars of liability coverage, with a
$100 minimum cost.
34
April 23, 1996
The process involved with using a surety bond in lieu of deposit
is:
• A new customer must pay the required deposit first,
• The customer must make FPL aware of his intentions
to utilize a surety bond to replace his deposit,
• FPL will then send an application requesting
information to the agency issuing the bond,
• The agency will then send the completed application
back to FPL along with the bond,
• FPL will then accept or reject the bond; if
accepted, the customer's deposit will be refunded.
A surety bond can be obtained through an insurance company. Not all
insurance companies, however, can provide surety bonds; only
insurance companies which carry general liability insurance
coverage can provide surety bonds. In order to obtain a surety bond
from an insurance company, a company seeking a bond must provide a
financial statement of the company to the bonding agency, and
submit an application.
The application for the use of a surety bond can be obtained from
the utility company accepting the bond instead of a cash deposit.
Florida Power and Light has a specific application it uses when a
company chooses to use a surety bond.
The City of Vero Beach's deposit requirements for the provision of
electricity are the same as FPL's. The county deposit requirement
for water and sewer is $50 per equivalent residential unit (ERU).
Both the city and the county will accept either a bank letter of
credit or a surety bond in lieu -of cash for the required deposit.
Analysis
At present, the City of Vero Beach, the County's Utility Department
and Florida Power and Light will not waive their deposit
requirements for commercially metered accounts, regardless of past
credit history. Staff coordination with Florida Power and Light
indicated that FPL does not waive required commercial electricity
service deposits in any jurisdiction within the state. The deposit
requirement can be satisfied only upon a cash payment, the
submittal of a bank issued letter of credit, or the submittal of a
secured. surety bond issued by an insurance company. According to
all three utility providers, these deposit requirements are
unlikely to change, due to the financial instability that
commercial accounts have demonstrated in the past.
To be economically feasible, a surety bond or bank letter of credit
can be used only if the deposit requirement is greater than $5,000.
Industrial utility customers with a utility deposit requirement of
less than $5,000 will have to pay their utility deposit in cash.
Since surety bond and letter of credit options exist with respect
to utility deposit for large utility users, this analysis
concentrates on commercial utility deposit requirements of less
than $5,000.
The County Utility Department charges commercial customers $50 per
ERU for either water service or sewer service. The overwhelming
majority of commercially metered utility customers are required to
purchase 1 ERU for either water or sewer. With one ERU, a customer
would be required to pay a $100 deposit for utility service, if
both water and sewer are available.
35
April 23, 1996
For most commercially metered utility customers, utility deposit
requirements are less than $1,000. According to county records,
the average commercial utility deposit required by the Utilities
Department in 1994-95 was $219.93 for both water and sewer. Of the
245 new commercially metered water utility customers in 1994 and
the 198 new commercially metered sewer customers in 1995, only 5
required a deposit in excess of $1,000. These utility deposit
requirements are determined by. the county Utilities Department,
based on the number of Equivalent Residential Units (ERU's)
applicable to a business.
An example of a commercially metered industrial customer is Orca
Yachts, Inc. Based on Orca Yachts' estimated combined monthly
water and sewer bill of $800 (1 ERU per 5 employees, 40 estimated
employees = 8 ERU's x $50 per ERU for each county service x 2 for
both county services = $800 estimated combined water and sewer
total monthly utility bill), the required utility deposit was
$1,600 for county water and sewer services.
If the county on an annual basis could attract 5 such businesses
with about 200 new employees, the total amount of the deposit
needed to be guaranteed would be approximately.5 x $1,600, or
$8,000 per year. The county's total subsidy would be $40 per new
employee.
As indicated, the average commercially metered utility deposit
required by the County's Utility Department is much less than the
$5,000 deposit threshold needed to make a surety bond or a bank
letter of credit feasible. In fact, the amount is low enough to
make it one of the less significant costs that a new business will
incur.
To determine if utility deposit.waivers are used regionally as an
economic development incentive, St. Lucie, Martin, and Brevard
Counties were surveyed. Based upon that survey, it was found that
no utility company in these counties waives utility deposits for
commercially metered accounts.
Staff, through coordination with the county's Utility Department,
Attorney's Office, and Budget Office, determined that the utility
deposit requirement could not be waived. To eliminate the utility
deposit cost, the deposit must be provided from another source.
Consequently, it was determined that the county would have to pay
or guarantee the deposit amount, if the county wanted to eliminate
utility deposits as an economic development incentive.
Furthermore, it was determined that any such utility deposit
economic development incentive would apply only to county water and
sewer utilities.
Although the utility deposit waiver would not be a significant
economic development incentive, it is an alternative that the
county could pursue. To do so, however, would require that, instead
of a utility waiving its deposit requirement, the county would have
to guarantee the payment of the deposit in case of default. This
would require no_payment of the deposit; instead the county would
agree to pay the deposit amount if the industry defaulted.
• Risk
If the county -guaranteed the required deposit of an industrial
customer and, if that customer were to default, the county would be
responsible for any past due payments that the industrial customer
may have accrued. For one customer, this would not be a significant
amount, but the cumulative amount for the county could be
substantial.
36
April 23, 1996
According to Indian River County Ordinance 91-9, which governs
utility operations, the Utility Department is required to
discontinue water and sewer service if a utility bill is not paid
in full within 30 days past the bill's due date. In addition to the
amount due on the bill, a $2 penalty plus 1.5 percent interest on
the unpaid balance is added. Therefore, the county's risk, for
larger industrial customers could be significant.
Even though utility deposit requirements of recent industrial
customers have not been high, the county can expect more industrial
customers with higher utility deposit requirements if its economic
development program is successful. To limit its exposure, the
county could put a cap on the amount of the deposit that it would
guarantee. A cap on the utility deposit should be considerably more
than recent customers have paid, but not so high as to
significantly affect the county's budget. An appropriate amount
could be $5,000.
• Program Characteristics
The county could establish a program to guarantee county utility
(county water and/or sewer) deposits for businesses meeting all of
the following requirements. Instead of paying the deposit amounts
up front, the county would pledge funds that can be drawn upon when
necessary.
• An establishment classified according to the Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual as Manufacturing
(SIC codes 20 through 39), or an establishment included
on the county's target industries list, and
• a business having a 57year good credit history with its
previous utility provider, and
• a business with a utility deposit requirement of less
than $5,000. For businesses having a utility deposit
requirement in excess of $5,000, the county would pay up
to $5,000.
Staff and the Economic Development Council recommend that the Board
of County Commissioners direct staff to establish a program, as
outlined above, to guarantee payment of utility deposits for
creditworthy industrial and target industry businesses
Commissioner Tippin wanted to level the playing field with
competing neighboring counties, but he wanted assurance that none
of them offer this particular incentive. He also expressed concern
that all of the incentives could add up to too great a cost.
Director Keating advised that staff had been unable to find
any other county offering this particular incentive.
Commissioner Eggert felt that this was low risk and could
attract attention by reflecting a cooperative attitude. She felt,
in spite of our wonderful quality of life, that Indian River County
37
April 23, 1996 97`- �A.cE 891
L—
BOOK - 97 ac,18
still has some tough battles with neighboring counties to attract
manufacturing.
Commissioner Macht received assurance from Commissioner Eggert
that this incentive was limited to industrial and not retail
business. He also asked the funding source in case of default.
Administrator Chandler advised that initally funds to cover a
default would come from general fund contingencies. He did not
foresee the likelihood of a strong potential for major expense in
any given year; however, if that proved incorrect, it would be a
budget line item each year.
Chairman Adams advised she was unable to support this item as
she felt that a utility deposit is not a great deterrent for a
business. Her greater concern was for families trying to move into
a house and coming up with a deposit. Also, she was not in favor
of using general fund contingencies. She felt the dollars were not
significant to induce an industry to come to the County.
Commissioner Bird maintained that this small incentive was
part of a package which will be helpful to those trying to impress
and attract the industries. He believed the County has to send a
very positive message and felt the benefits of this measure
outweigh the risk.
Commissioner Macht agreed with Commissioner Bird's comments
and called this a gesture to convey the idea that the County
welcomes new business. He recognized the problem residential
customers face in giving deposits, but felt it was partly because
the community does not have a good cross-section of employment
opportunities. He maintained everything possible needs to be done
to attract industries that will employ skilled and semi -skilled
workers which will increase their ability to contribute to the
community.
Commissioner Macht also thought that it was time to look at
providing enough funds to the Economic Development Council, or some
other organizations, to actively solicit appropriate industries.
Commissioner Eggert. commented that the tax base needs to be
broadened to include a better balance between industry/commercial
and residential.
Commissioner Macht cited the recent battle with Indian River
Memorial Hospital concerning costs of indigent care. He felt it
was related to unhealthy employment conditions in the county and
that something needed to be done.

SUBJECT: FINANCING TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES (TIF's)
It is requested that the information herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board
of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 23, 1996.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
At its economic development workshop on May 18, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners
directed staff to initiate various economic development activities. Among those activities was
establishment of a process to finance traffic impact fees over a five to ten year period. In
accordance with the Board's direction, planning staff coordinated with both the Budget Office
and Public Works Department. Based upon the County Utility Department's impact fee financing
procedure, staff developed a proposed traffic impact fee financing mechanism.
On March 26, 1996, the Economic Development Council -reviewed staff's report and unanimously
recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed traffic impact -fee
financing procedure.

•Utility Impact Fee Financing Mechanism
For several years, the County utilities department has provided for the financing of water and
sewer impact fees. As structured, this process allows for ten year financing of utility impact fees
associated with county built projects and existing homes. Utility impact fees associated with
other types of projects may be financed over five years.
For utility impact fee financing, the interest rate charged is currently 8%2%. This rate is adjusted
annually by the Board of County Commissioners. The debt is amortized over the financed
period, with monthly billing by the Utilities Departmem To secure the debt, a lien is recorded
against the real property receiving the utility service, and this lien is subordinate to any bank lien
on the property.
To ensure that adequate revenue is available to make the capital improvements funded by water
and sewer impact fees, the utilities department . has a three tier approach. First, interfund
borrowing is used to fund capital improvements. Second, a bond issue backed by impact fee
assessments is used if interfund borrowing is not sufficient. The third tier involves doing a larger
bond issue, pledging impact fee revenue as well as some other revenue source.
Since establishing its impact fee financing mechanism, the utilities department has financed
$4,567,927 of impact fees.
ANALYSIS
For economic development purposes, allowing for the financing of traffic impact fees provides
two benefits. First, it enhances the County's pro -economic development image. Second, it
provides developers with another financing option for part of their project cost.
Traffic impact fees, however, differ significantly from water and sewer impact fees. These
differences not only affect how the financing is administered, but also affect the usefulness of
financing these fees. Generally, TIF financing will be less beneficial to applicants than water and
sewer impact fee financing.
• Developer Issues
Because traffic impact fees are almost always associated with new construction, TIF financing
may have limited benefits for developers. Since new construction generally requires financing
and since financial institutions consider financed impact fees as debt in calculating a maximum
loan to value ratio, financing impact fees usually reduces the amount of money that a developer
can borrow by the amount of the financed TIF. An exception where TIF financing would be
beneficial is where a developer has no other debt on his project.
Water and sewer impact fees, however, are different, since these fees are often financed for
existing projects that are retrofitted with County water and sewer. In this case, County financing
is beneficial because it provides a source of financing without affecting any other loans.
• Counil Issues
There are several County related issues that must be considered in financing traffic impact fees.
These include TIF district requirements, cash flow, default, and exposure.
• TIF District Limitation
As structured, the County's traffic impact fee ordinance establishes nine TIF benefit districts.
The ordinance requires that all revenues collected in a district be spent in that district. This
contrasts with water and sewer impact fees which are countywide in scope.
40
April 23, 1996
M M M
As a result of the traffic impact fee district system, TIF revenue is divided into smaller pots,
making cash flow a problem. Since many road projects are $1 million plus jobs, it takes time
to accumulate that much money in a district. Financing impact fees would reduce the growth of
the districts' fund balances, and could delay necessary roadway projects. With total annual TIF
revenue of about $2.0 million divided among the nine benefit districts, bonding is not a viable
option because of the low dollar amounts.
• Cash Flow
A major issue associated with TIF financing is whether spreading TIF payments over time while
charging interest on the unpaid balance will significantly reduce revenue in the various TIF
benefit districts, resulting in road construction project delays. In cases where large development
projects finance impact fees, that could occur.
TIF financing amounts would be insufficient to justify the cost of issuing bonds to raise the
revenues deferred by financing TIF's. There is, however, the opportunity to use interfund
borrowing to address the cash flow issue. Through this process, money is borrowed from some
County fund and used for road construction projects in benefit districts where TIF's have been
financed. The borrowed money is then repaid .with interest from TIF financing payments.
Interfund borrowing may not be possible, however, if other county funds do not have sufficient
balances, or if the money available from those funds is not available for a sufficient length of
time.
One other option for interfund borrowing would exist if the Board of County Commissioners
agreed to impose the 9th cent gas tax. With an estimated $558,839 in revenue generated each
year, the 9th cent gas tax could serve as a source for interfimd borrowing. This would involve
the traffic impact fee fund borrowing 9th cent gas tax revenue to make up the shortfall caused
by TIF financing. The 9th cent gas tax fund would then be repaid with interest from TIF
financing payments. Although this option would resolve traffic impact fee fund cash flow
problems, it could result in delays for 9th cent gas tax funded projects.
• Default
Another TIF financing concern relates to the implications of default of a TIF financing borrower.
Considering the number of development projects in the County which have gone into foreclosure
in the past decade, default is a definite possibility.
According to the county attorney's office, default of a standard TIF financing agreement could
result in loss of the financed traffic impact fees. Because TIF financing liens would not have
priority over any previous recorded liens, standard TIF financing liens usually will not be
sufficient to secure the County, based on the property value of the development project having
TIF's financed.
There are, however, ways to address the default issue to some extent. By requiring that a TIF
financing lien be a first lien and by not allowing the lien to be subordinated to other liens, the
County could enhance its prospects for repayment in case of default. With a default, the county
would incur foreclosure costs in protecting its interests, and these costs would have to be covered.
Another safeguard would be to prohibit transfer or assignment of the TIF financing repayment
obligation. Even with these options, however, there is still risk of loss from federal tax liens or
bankruptcy. If a loss does occur, the revenue lost must be made up by the general fund, since
the traffic impact fee trust fund cannot lose money.

• Exposure
A major TIF financing concern is whether a large development project needing substantial
roadway improvements can finance its TIF, while the County constructs the road improvements.
In such cases, the risk of default and its adverse impacts on the County are increased even more.
The County's total exposure for financing TIF's can be limited by restricting TIF financing
eligibility. Since the principal reason for the County financing TIF's is to promote economic
development, limiting TIF financing to industrial businesses with Standard Industrial Codes 20
through 39, as well as the county's target industries would provide a viable incentive while
limiting the County's TIF financing exposure. Even with this limitation, TIF financing could still
be an economic development incentive for those industries.
• Local Government Survey
Although the TIF financing initiative came about because of the County's utility impact fee
financing program, staff surveyed other local governments in the state to determine the extent of
TIF financing. Through direct contact with nine counties, the Florida League of Cities, and the
Florida Association of Counties, staff could not find any local governments which finance traffic
impact fees. This may indicate that some of the TIF financing issues addressed herein have
caused other local governments not to institute TIF financing.
ALTERNATIVES:
With TIF financing, there are two principal alternatives. The County can choose either to offer
a traffic impact fee financing program, or it can opt not to offer such a program.
If the County decides to provide TIF financing,. there is a variety of options available to the
County. These range from a conservative, narrowly focused, risk -limited TIF financing program
to a more broadly based, inclusive program with added financial risk. While many variations can
be structured, the major alternatives involve restricting/not restricting TIF financing eligibility;
limiting/not limiting subordination and assignment of TIF liens; and allowing/not allowing
interfund borrowing.
A conservative, low risk TIF financing program could have the following characteristics.
• Allow financing of Traffic Impact Fees only for industrial establishments with two digit
SIC codes 20 through 39, as well as the county's target industries.
• Do not allow financing of Traffic Impact Fees for non-industrial/non-target
businesses;
• Require recording of a lien against the benefitting real property.
• Require that TIF financing lien be a first lien,
prohibit subordination of the TIF lien,
prohibit the assignment of the TIF lien without written approval from the Board
of County Commissioners,
• Allow interfund borrowing by traffic impact fee fund,
allow interfund borrowing from 9th cent gas tax fund, if 9th cent gas tax is
approved;
• Provide for 6 year financing, to correspond to the timeframe in which traffic impact fees
must be expended;
• Charge interest at the rate established by the Board of County Commissioners;
• Require annual payments to retire TIF _ loan;
42
April 23, 1996

CONCLUSION
Any economic development financial incentive will cost the County money. Whether that cost
is associated with revenue not received such as in tax abatement or associated with, direct
payment of funds, financial incentives have a cost.
TIF financing could be a low cost financial incentive. Under the best set of circumstances, the
only cost could be added administrative expenses. With financing, however, there is risk, and
added risk can result in higher cost.
Even more important is the fact that the TIF revenue at risk is economic development related.
Because TIF revenue is used to build roads and enhance transportation infrastructure, the funds
allow growth and economic development to continue. Losing TIF revenue and delaying roadway
construction projects, then, could adversely affect economic development.
As with most issues, TIF financing involves tradeoffs. To establish a broad based TIF financing
program increases risks: and costs. By limiting the scope of a TIF financing program, risk can
be reduced and potential costs lessened. With the parameters identified, the TIF financing
program identified above reduces risk and provides a limited economic development incentive.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the Economic Development Council recommend that the Board of County
Commissioners approve a traffic impact fee financing program with the characteristics as
identified above.
Staff also recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant TIF financing agreement
approval authority to the county administrator or his designee.
Commissioner Bird identified three possible scenarios which
would exist when trying to entice a new business to come in: lease
space already available (no TIF would apply); buy and build (TIF
would be a direct benefit to them); and lease/build-to-suit (TIF
would benefit the builder) . Only one scenario would surely benefit
the targeted industry. He felt it was important that the County
protect itself with proper liens.
Commissioner Eggert thought there were very few good leasable
buildings now for industry. She advised this technique has been
requested by a number of different fronts and is one of the main
reasons it was brought forward from the Economic Development
Council's workshop. It is part of the package and something that
will add to the incentive. She thought Brevard County had waived
some of its fees for incoming industry.
Commissioner Bird indicated that was his point in mentioning
the three scenarios. In the build -to -suit scenario, there is a
43
April 23, 1996
nof( 97, PnF 897* .
WIN 97 ixESUS
deferment of six years, but -how the benefit would be passed on to
the tenant (target industry) was another question.
Commissioner Macht commented that it would be of immense
benefit to an industrial.park and he didn't know if it would work
as it has been presented. He thought this might require some fine
tuning.
Director Keating explained that usually the developer of an
industrial park puts in the horizontal improvements and does the
platting and, at that time, there would be no impact fees payable.
Impact fees would become due if the developer also put up a
building on speculation.
Chairman Adams indicated her intention to vote in favor of
this item as presented.
Commissioner Bird thought some kind of criteria should be
included for a build -to -suit situation, that it should be tied to
a lease to a target industry.
Chairman Adams advised that County Attorney Vitunac indicated
that could be done.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved a
traffic impact fee financing program as outlined in
the memorandum, amended to require that the
financing of traffic impact fees be tied to the
lease of the desired industry, and that the County
Administrator, or his designee, be granted TIF
financing agreement approval authority, as
recommended by staff.

April 23, 1996
On December 30, 1995, the Fellsmere Volunteer Ambulance Service,
Inc., ceased operations and donated the major part of their assets
to Indian River County to ensure the -continuation -of an emergency
services station in the northwest part of the County.
Since that time the County has staffed the station and utilized the
two structures on Lots 24, 25, and 26, Block 98, .Town (now City) of
Fellsmere, Florida, which"had prior been used by the Fellsmere
Volunteer Ambulance Service under a lease agreement with the
County.
Staff anticipates Emergency Services Station #10 will be completed
and in service by May 1, 1996. At that time, the emergency
services personnel assigned to the station will relocate from the
existing two structures located on the lots referenced above to the
renovated station. Staff will have no further use of the buildings
or property after May 1, 1996.
RECOMMENDATION:
Since the Fellsmere Volunteer Ambulance Service ceased operations
earlier as noted above, staff respectfully recommends the Lease
Agreement with the service dated December 3, 1991, be canceled so
other uses of the buildings and property can be considered by the
Board of County Commissioners.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
cancellation of lease so other uses of the buildings
and property can be considered, as recommended in

Ambulance Service, Inc., until they ceased operations on December
30, 1995. Since that time, EMS personnel have utilized the
structures to continue operations until Station #10 is completed at
the end of April.
The two buildings are located on the north west corner of Broadway
and New York Street adjacent to the renovated emergency services
station.
In a letter to the Board dated April 5, 1996, Fellsmere Mayor Bob
Baker requested that the structures and property noted above be
allocated to the City for use as a Community Center or other public
purpose. Mayor Baker advised in the letter that the City would
seek grants for the restoration of the buildings while keeping in
mind the architecture of adjacent structures.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached Lease
Agreement between Indian River County and the City of Fellsmere for
the above referenced lots which includes the structures thereon.
Chairman Adams did not understand the need for this lease
since the building actually belongs to the City of Fellsmere.
County Attorney Vitunac advised it was a matter of policy.
Emergency Services Director Doug Wright explained that the
original lease shows Blocks 24, 25, and 26, which includes the
buildings thereon. Staff is now trying to make it clear, so there
won't be an issue in the future about who owns what.
Director Wright advised that Emergency Services has no further
use for the buildings, and he had no objection if the County wants
to convey the property in some other manner.
County Attorney Vitunac advised that title could be conveyed
to the City of Fellsmere, if they wanted it.
Mayor Bob Baker, City of Fellsmere, advised that contractors
had looked at the buildings, and, while it will cost the City money
to refurbish the buildings, they would like to have title to the
property. They would like to open a community center for civic
meetings and other city or county functions.
Chairman Adams asked for clarification on exactly what would
be deeded and if that included the little building in the back, the
old vehicle inspection, belongs to the County.
County Attorney Vitunac asked for authority to prepare a deed
for whatever is necessary to transfer title for this property back
to the City of Fellsmere and retain whatever Director Wright needs
for his Emergency Services purposes. He suggested the actual

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. IIS -96 -07 -CS
BACKGROUND
On September 30, 1995, Indian River County took over ownership of
the Sebastian Utilities. As part of this acquisition system
upgrades were required. One such upgrade is the conversion of Lift
Station No. 1, currently a wet well/dry well installation, to a
standard Indian River County wet well design. This is necessary
for safety concerns associated with the confined space entry
requirements in the dry well portion of the pumping station and

BACKGROUND
On February 22, 1996, the Utilities Department received bids for
the aforementioned project. The plans had been modified for this
bid based on comments from the Public Works Department. However,
as a result of ongoing negotiations with the Department of
Transportation (D.O.T.) for takeover of these bridges, the Public
Works Department provided staff with additional D.O.T. requirements
on the day of the bid which now need to be addressed. Also for
various reasons the bids received were approximately $390,000.00
over the engineers estimate. For the above reasons, we are now
before the Board to reject the bids and redesign portions of the
project to meet the additional D.O.T. requirements and reduce
project costs.
ANALYSIS
The magnitude of the D.O.T. changes is quite substantial and bids
were already higher than the project budget. With this in mind, we
must now re-engineer the bridge crossing as well as providing a
much more detailed loading analysis of the bridges. At the same
time, we are making additional changes in order to reduce the
projects cost. The additional engineering costs are as follows:
1. Masteller and Moler, Inc. 5,680.00
2. Structural and Bridge
loading analysis 4.920.00
Total 10,600.00
For details of this work authorization, please see the attached.
The bids received for this project are as follows:
1. Martin Paving Company 1,940,861.00
2. Hall Contracting Company 2,096,000.00
3. JoBear, Inc. 2,893,342.60
Based on the aforementioned circumstances surrounding the bid, the
attached recommendation from the engineer and concurrence from
staff, the Utilities Department wishes to reject all bids and rebid
the project after design changes are completed.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the attached work
authorization with Masteller and Moler as presented and reject the
current bids on this project as outlined above, while also
authorizing staff to rebid the project at a future date.
Commissioner Eggert asked. if this was the only way out of
this, and Capital Projects Engineer Bill McCain advised that major
alterations were required to what staff was originally planning to
do. Staff felt they were extensive enough to rebid the project.
Staff also identified some items which could be modified in order
to reduce costs to come within budget.

SUBJECT: LURIAS PLAZA, REPLACEMENT AND RENEWAL PROJECT
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -96 -08 -DS
In the last few months we have had several breaks in the water
service lines at the southeast building of the Lurias complex. The
problems associated with this portion of the complex's distribution
are predominantly due to the system's age and as follows; 1) The
system main is installed within one foot of the building's footer
(i.e., when a blow-out in a service line occurs, the potential
exists for undermining of the building) 2) all the service lines
are polybutelene and are rapidly degenerating, causing the service
blow -outs. -_
ANALYSTS
We have reengineered this portion of the water system and are
prepared to reconstruct same to eliminate future liabilities. We
have assembled a cost for construction with our continuing services
contractor, Driveways, Inc., and acquired a material quote from our
materials supplier, Davis Meter. The cost associated with this
project is as follows:
1) Construction $10,144.80

FAIR HOUSING - ANNUAL EEPORTMCOMMENDATIONS
The Board reviewed'a Memorandum of March 29, 1996:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM:(X&/William G. Collins II, Deputy County Attorney/
Fair Housing Administrator
DATE: March 29, 1996
RE: Annual Report/Recommendations
In order to enhance the likelihood of obtaining funding from the
DCA under a Community Development Block Grant program, the Board of
County Commissioners on March 14, 1995, adopted Ordinance No. 95-7
which has been incorporated into the Indian River County Code as
Chapter 309, Fair Housing.
Section 309.05.(1) appoints the Deputy County Attorney as the
administrator of the Fair Housing chapter. Among the
administrator's duties are to "render to the county commission
annual written reports of his activities under the provisions of
this chapter along with such comments and recommendations as he may
choose to make." (IRC Section 309.05.(2)(f).)
Annual Report:
I have received no written complaints under the Fair Housing
chapter of the county code in the past year.

I received one telephone complaint from an individual who wished to
rent a single-family home in the City of Vero Beach but was refused
by the real estate broker citing to city ordinances which prevent
three or more unrelated individuals from living together in a
single-family zoning district.
This complaint led to dialogue, correspondence, and research with
the City Attorney's Office. Our research determined that the
county ordinance adopted at the DCA's request was broader than the
federal Fair Housing Act or the Florida Fair Housing Act.
While the state and federal act prohibit discrimination in housing
based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial
status, and handicap, the local ordinance also includes as
protected classes those discriminated against based on ancestry,
marital status, and age. (You may recall during the adoption
hearing concerns were expressed regarding the application of this
ordinance to housing for the elderly. As a result code section
309.04.(3)h). exempts from operation of the act any person who
wishes to restrict sales, rentals, leases, or occupancies to
persons over age 55, to the extent allowed by state or federal
law.)
The term "ancestry" seems redundant of "national origin."
The only court case located which discusses "marital status" was
County of Dane v. Norman, a Wisconsin Supreme Court case decided in
1993, which held that unrelated individuals living together was a
"conduct" not "status"; i.e., the court said marital status was
single or married. The county ordinance did not preclude either
singles or marrieds from living in a single-family house. It
proscribed the conduct of unrelated individuals living together.
Recommendation: Amend Chapter 309, Fair Housing, to delete
"ancestry, marital status, and age" as protected classes under the
ordinance. The current ordinance over -reaches state and federal
fair housing acts and potentially could cause unnecessary disputes
with other local governments within the county.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously
authorized advertising of a public hearing to amend
Chapter 309, Fair Housing, to delete "ancestry,
marital status, and age" as protected classes under
the ordinance, as recommended in the memorandum.
