Construction for Required Improvements for Harbor Village
Phase IV Plat 19
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of November 26, 1996.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
At its November 5, 1996 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners
approved the final plat for Harbor Villages IV Plat 19, and
authorized the chairman to sign a contract for construction of
required improvements. As reflected in staff's report to the
Board, an actual contract was not attached to staff's report based
on the fact that the applicant was still working with the county
attorney's office to determine a mutually agreeable financial
security arrangement and corresponding contract form.
Now, an agreeable financial security arrangement and corresponding
contract have been finalized. Therefore, the final form of the
contract is hereby presented to the Board for its approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize
the Chairman to execute the attached contract for construction and
accept the attached letter of credit securing the contract.

TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners

INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND - CONSENT AGENDA
FROM: Joseph A. Baird

$DDK; 99 F.1DE 934
William R Hough & Company, underwriter, has approached Indian River County to see if they are
interested in participating in the Escambia Single Family Housing Program for low to moderate
income single family housing. This program involves utilization of Industrial Revenue Bonds.
Industrial Revenue bond allocations are released by districts each year beginning in January on a first
come first serve basis. Indian River County is in district 9B with St. Lucie, Martin and Okeechobee
Counties and the allocation should be over $9.5 million.
St. Lucie County has already committed to the Escambia Family Housing Program. Indian River
County would be sharing the allocation with St. Lucie County, which we have done in the past. With
St. Lucie County and Indian River County participating in the same program, local participating
lenders can move the money between counties after the first 120 days of the program. William R.
Hough and Company is requesting we waive the $1,000 administrative fee plus the .5% of the face
value of the bonds (.5% up to a maximum of $10,000) because this will be passed on to the lending
institutions and then eventually to the person attempting to obtain the loan.
Indian River County must hold a TEFRA (Tax Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act) public hearing and
pass a resolution. Escambia Housing would like,to hold the TEFRA hearing on Tuesday, December
17, 1996.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners waive only the .5% per bond fee and approve
the Inducement Resolution and Inter -local agreement with Escambia Housing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved
the recommendation.*
CLERK'S NOTE: *A corrective memorandum can be found
in the minutes of the meeting of December 10, 1996
(7.N). The recommendation should have read: "Staff
recommends the B.C.C. waives only the .5% bond fee
and approve holding the TEFRA public hearing on
Tuesday, December 17, 1996."
L. XL Vision Industrial Revenue Bond TEFRA Hearing Scheduled for
December 17
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of November 25, 1996:
TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners

SUBJECT: X L VISION INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND TEFRA
HEARING FOR DECEMBER 17,1996 - CONSENT AGENDA
FROM: JosephA. Baird
OMB Director

November 26, 1996
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
X L Vision would like to issue "tax exempt" Industrial Revenue Bond to expand the manufacturing
facility. The cost of the expansion is estimated to be approximately $5,000,000. All Industrial Bond
allocations are issued by the state beginning January of each year and are on a first come first serve
basis. Therefore, it is important to have all documents in order by January 1, 1997.
X L Vision has requested the County waive the $1,000 administrative fee plus the .5% of the face
value of the bonds (.5% up to a maximum of $10,000) since this increases the borrowing cost
substantially. Indian River County waived fees in the past if they felt it was in the best interest of the
community.
In order for X L Vision to be able to issue Industrial Revenue Bonds, Indian River County must hold
a TEFRA (Tax Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act) public hearing and pass a resolution. X L Vision
would like to hold the TEFRA hearing on Tuesday, December 17, 1996.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve to hold the TEFRA public hearing
on December 17, 1996 and waive the .5% per bond fee.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved
scheduling the TEFRA public hearing on December 17,
1996, and waived the .5% per bond fee, as
recommended in the memorandum.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF
EMERGENCY PERMIT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SEAWALL -TAN
TELMBY
Public Works Director Jim Davis briefly reviewed a Memorandum
of November 20, 1996:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,
Public Works Directo
SUBJECT: Requests for Indian River County to Issue FS Chapter 161.085
Emergency Permits for Construction of Seawall for Jan Jelmby
REF. LETTER: Jan Jelmby to Jim Davis & Jeff Tabar dated Oct. 25, 1996
DATE: November 20, 1996
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Jan Jelmby has requested that the County issue an "Emergency" permit to
construct a seawall along his property at 3630 and 3636 Ocean Drive in the
corporate limits of the City of Vero Beach. Mr. Jelmby has also been contacted
by the County Building Department requesting him to make the necessary repairs
or to remove the unsafe portion of the structures which have been exposed by
erosion.
Florida Statutes Chapter 161.085(3) states that "if erosion occurs as a result of
a storm event whicb threatens private structures or public infrastructures and a
perrrrit bas not been issued pursuant to Subsection (2), the agency, political
subd(vision, or municipality may install or authorize installation ofrigid Coastal
armoring structures for the protection of private structures... as long as the
followingitems are considered and incorporated into such emergency measures:
a) Protection of the beach dune system;
b) Siting and design criteria for the protective structure,
c) Impacts on adjacent properties;
d) Preservation of public beach access;
e) Protection ofnadve coastal vegetation and nesting marine turtles and
their batchlings. "
Paragraph (6) of the statute states that " .. the structure... shall be
temporary... and the property owner shall remove the structure or
submit a permit application to the Department (D.E.P.) for a
permanent rigid coastal armoring structure... within 60 days after the
emergency installation of the structure or other measure to relieve
the threat... "
In speaking with the F.D.E.P. staff, the newly adopted Chapter 62B-33.0051(6)
Rules and Procedures for Coastal Construction and Excavation, Coastal Armoring
and Related Structures, Emergency Protection, contains more specific language
20
November 26, 1996
� � r
which pertains to emergency permit issuance by local governments. Structures
must "have become damaged or vulnerable to damage from a subsequent frequent
coastal storm. "
"Vulnerable" is when an eligible structure is subject to either direct wave attack
or to erosion from a 15 -year return interval storm which exposes any portion of
the foundation."
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
In analyzing the application received, staff has met in Tallahassee with DEP
Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, conducted site visits with FDEP staff,
and reviewed the application for completeness and conformance with Florida
Statutes. FDEP staff has indicated that an emergency permit is recommended for
the applicant. The applicant's two primary dwelling foundations have been
exposed and are under direct wave attack. The applicant has proposed meeting
the five state requirements as follows:
a) Protection of Beach and Dune Sys - The applicant has stated that there
is "no dune to protect", however, the applicant is aware that the structure
is designed to minimize impacts to the beach dune system. Construction
will take place by placing and operating a crane seaward of the wall. Access
to the beach will be from the applicant's property.
b) Siting and Design Criteria for the Protective Structure - The applicant has
contracted Cangianelli Construction which has provided staff with design
drawings. A drawing showing the seawall location was submitted to the
FDEP for review. The structure will be as far landward as is practicable.
The sheet pile seawall with a concrete cap and deadman is adequate
structurally as designed by a structural engineer.
c) Impacts on Adjacent Properties - The applicant has stated "the property to
the south have already since many years secured their property with a
seawall," the Village Spires. As to the property to the north, which is a 350'
vacant lot, the applicant will construct a return wall 35' at 900 to the
shoreline.
d) Preservation of Public Beach Access - No public access frontage will be
influenced by the construction of the seawall.
e) Protection of Native Coastal Vegetation and Nesting Marine Turtles and
their Hatchlings - All coastal vegetation disturbed will be restored. As little
disturbance to vegetation as possible will occur. No work will be performed
during turtle nesting season.
County staff has contacted the City of Vero Beach for review. The City of Vero
Beach has suspended Chapter 75, Beach Maintenance & Preservation of the Vero
Beach Code of Ordinances and has no comments on the proposed construction.
(see attached correspondence from Mark Satterlee.)
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends that a FS Chapter 161.085 (3) Emergency Permit be issued for
the Jelmby properties at this time subject to the following conditions:
21
November 26, 1996 Boos 99 Fao;E 941
�E�QCJ'K ,f,,xu �,2
1) Seaward of the wall, beach compatible sand is placed to reestablish
the beach and dune system.
2) The seawall be placed as landward as possible. A location 15'± from
the existing homes is currently recommended by County staff and the
alignment of the seawall shall be placed adjacent to the existing
Village Spires seawall angled back towards the residences as shown.
The FDEP is currently considering this alignment and the results of
their findings will be presented at the Board meeting.
3) Any adverse impacts created by the seawall on adjacent properties be
mitigated by sand placement to be determined by staff.
4) No public access exists perpendicular to the dune
5) The construction shall have minimum impact on native coastal
vegetation and any native vegetation removed or damaged will be
replaced. No construction shall occur during the turtle nesting
season.
6) The emergency seawall shall be temporary and shall be removed
unless a F.D.E.P. permit for a permanent seawall is acquired.
Commissioner Eggert thought they had already seen photographs
of this property and Director Davis advised that the aerial
photographs shown at last week's meeting covered different
properties.
Commissioner Eggert inquired if the conditions included seeing
that the sand was properly filled in. Director Davis advised that
he had spoken about that this morning with Mr. Jelmby who had a
concern about placing a large amount of sand seaward of the wall,
but they had reached an agreement. Staff does not want the
contractor depleting sand from the beach system by moving it behind
the seawall. He thought Mr. Jelmby and the staff had worked out an
amicable agreement.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Ginn, to determine that an emergency
exists and approve recommendation and conditions as
outlined in the memorandum.
On advice of County Attorney Vitunac, Chairman Adams asked if
anyone from the audience wished to comment and no one came forward.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously.

Dear Mr. Pinto:
I
This communication is forwarded, at your specific request, as a result of certain press inquiries
relative to the "withdrawal” of Marvin L. Slomowitz ("MLS") as a principal from the company
developing the above project.
Your attention is directed to the AM that the MLS withdrawal follows a default by MLS in remitting
the agreed consideration for the capital shares of this special purpose development company. The
spar were allocated, by formula, upon condition that MLS would perform cerrain agreed acts in
regar to the project. During the period between March and November, 1996 ("organizational
peri .), MLS was repeatedly advised that no capital shares could be issued, to him, until he met his
finaaciei, and other, obligations as agreed to with the remaining principals of D3tIVCO. It appears
that MLS discovered his inability to comply with the understanding and consequently voluntarily
withdrew. Ifa subsequent statements to the press were merely an effort to dilute the impact of his
default
The Jernaming principals of INRIVCO had recently become suspect of the inability of MLS to
co y, as agreed, and consequently in and about October, 1996 began arranging for standby
sources for the contribution of the equity capital, which was the agreed obligation of MLS. During
the entire organizational period the remaining principals naw to it that every financial obligation of
this company was met and every detail for the orderly continuance of the project was accounted for.
To date, the remaining prmcq)Ws have advanced all of the capital necessary, for the orderly conduct
of this project and, in addition, have guaranteed certain other financial arrangements, without
participation by MLS.
The Quality of the project, the first ofirs kind kn the United States, and the financial depth of the joint
ventc}re participants (hereinafter discussed). allow for sign ficaat interest by a number of other
propped financial participants. Discussions with these entities continue. In the meandmc, it has
becoMe increasingly obvious that the need for equity finding, for this project, has become greatly
reduced by virtue of the financial mvestmews of the remaining principals and the economies which
were practiced during the organizational period As a result, the amount of equity funding in regard
to, this project, has become substantially reduced. Discussions with proposed equity investors
continue to date due to the decision to undertake three additional similar projects.
At all times during the organizational period, and prior thereto, arrangements have been in place to
provide the financing of the entire construction program for the project. These project financing
programs remain under active consideration by both GE Capital Corporation ("GE Capital") and
Gnmtal & Co., Incorporated ("Gtlmtak"). Appropriate written confirmations have been received from
both companies. The communication fim GE Capital constituted a portion of the original Response
to Request for Proposal (MRFP"). Needles to say, definitive commitmems cannot be issued until
execlltinn- i f the proposed contract between Indian River County ("IRC") and INRIVCO.
project team assembled for INRIVCO is comprised of several entities. All are joint venture
paiapants. The organizational chart, for this project, is forwarded herewith. Included as principal
&i&=QW1 SM401 CMM A121- ("PSG") of Houn0n, Texas - a wholly owned subsidiary of Air &
t
W er Technology ("AWT") (a corporation traded on the American Stock Exchange), which is is
tum majority controlled by Compagnie Generale des Eaux ("CGE"). CGE is the largest municipal
semen company in the world with revenues of more than S34 billion and a net worth of
approximately S17 billion. CWs US operations have annual revenues of over S1 billion and
approximately 8,000 employees. PSG provides cost effective services to operate and maintain waste
treatment facilities and manage bio -solids disposal programs. Since 1978 PSG has been operating,
maintaining and managing waste facilities in this country. PSG presently operates state-of-the-art
composting facilities, more large complex facilities across the United Stases than any of its
competitors including, the entire water and wastewater system serving the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico. Additionally, PSG operates waste treatment plants in New Orleans, LA; four plants in
Oklahoma City, OR; Brockton, MA Cranston, RI: New Bedford, MA, Fall River, MA; Houston,
TX; Winter Garden, FL; West Haven, CT; Schenectady NY; and Bristol, TTI. In 1988 PSG was
se" to act as the operations and maintenance consultant to Raiser Engineers for the new multi-
billion dollar Boston Harbor clean up project. Additionally, PSG has unequaled waste disposal
experience throughout the United States. CGE and their affiliates operate more than 50 solid waste
material recovery, shredding densified fiuel pellets, composting and co -composting facilities
throughout Europe and Asia. The financial background of AWT, has previously been submitted in
24
November 26, 1996
the RRFP. CGE has agreed to guarantee all aspects of the PSG operation and araimeaance
responatbilities in conjunction with the project. PSG has agreed to be responsible for the full
operation and maintenance oversight for this project.
Heil -EMS:. WAU Mr MD;,ac nn ('Reg") of Brookfield. WrMonsin - a wholly owned subsidiary
of Dover Industries. The Engineered Systems Division designs, builds and provides turn -key
installations of waste processing fiucr7rtM, including Material Recovery Facilities ("MRF"). This
activity has continued at Heil since the late 1960s. Over 50% of fWs 5280 million annusi sales are
derived from solid waste equiptrom, thereby sigaifyiag the company's long term commitarent to this
field. Heil is the largest supplier of solid waste equipment in the United States. Hail's activities are
international in mune. The annual sales volute of Dover Industries is in excess of 35 billion. Dover
Ind es has agreed to guarantee all aspects of the MRF construction and installation by Heil in
eorron with the project. Heil has agreed to be responsible for the design, construction and
installation of the MRF required for waste fixctionalimon at this facility.
LamC2 ort ("Utepto") of Valhalla, New York - a wholly owned subsidiary of Linde AG.
Lotepro is an American corporation established in 1962 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Linde AG
Of Germany, a cornparry with annual sales of approximately S6 billion and assets of more than S3
billion. Lotepro was established to offer special technology and provide engineering, construction
and operations services to the North American marketplace. Lotepro has designed and buil more
than 200 plants in North America and abroad, is IS09001 Certified and executes its projects to
provide continual quality assurance and control. Lotepro's participation with DdtIVCO is to design
a waste treatment plant with state-of-the-art anaerobic digestion systems. Lotepro provides on-going
technical services ranging from site specific trouble aboouing to full contract operations at over 8o
waste facilities annually. Linde AG has agreed to guarantee all aspects of the Lotepro waste
conversion (anaerobic digestion) process in conjunction with the project. Lotepro has agreed to be
responsible for the design, construction and installation of the anaerobic digestion process to be
utrlud for waste conversion at this facrJity.
The combined annual gross revenues of these three companies totals $45 billion. Moreover, their
experience and reputations guarantee the high standard of their respective participations in this
projefx. The financial depth of these companies, which are responsible for all aspects of the waste
disposal activities, provides absolute assurance of the quality of their performance.,
The real estate management and development activities. originally to be assumed by MLS, will be
undertaken by a replacement company. Present discussions and negotiations are underway with the
Adler Group of Miami, Florida, who is not only well known to south Florida, but in addition, has
performed a sigoifica nt project in the Vero Beach, Florida area, to wit the development of the Sears,
Roebuck warehouse fiucdity. This company's experience in the development of industrial. sites will,
upon contract acceptance, provide an outstanding layout and utilization of the IRC land parcel made
available for this project. In addition, it is contemplated that the Adler Group will supervise all
leasing activities for vendor/tenants occupying the Park. During the organizational period, the
participating principals of INRIVCO have maintained discussions and negotiations with qualified,
serious prospective tenants. Some have indicated a desire to initiate their tenancies at the earliest time
reasons* possible. These diseusffions, also, speak to a significantly high success rate for the venture.
The Acycding program to be implemented at this facility is designed to achieve at least a 501/o
recycling rate. INRIVCO has continued in its program of further refinement of techniques and
participants in order to assure the highest quality installation for IRC. Once an agreement is signed
with IRC appropriate agreements will be signed with each of the participating entities, thereby
confirming the selection process.
In any event, all of the material representations originally set forth in the RRFP continue to constitute
the program undertaken by DdUVC0. The change of personnel, at any level, never changes the basic
requirements to produce in accordance with the RRFP. If anytivng, the current array of patties and
companies will assure an evert superior laud of quality exaction of the project. IN1trVCO continues
in its pledge to provide all of the capital necessary to complete the project without any capital
contribution by IRC, wblle maintaining a lower tipping fee for the County than any other submitting
proposer. INRIVCO has cooperated, in every manner with the County, to asatue the success of this
proposed venture. The significant financial investment by INRIVCO, to date, provides eloquent
testimony to its' commitment.
We look f t ward to our conthri ft relationship with IRC and to the early execution of the negotiated
proposed agreement, which has previously been provided to you.

Kenneth S. Knigin thanked the Commissioners for allowing him
to appear and advised that he and Mr. Norman Lipshie were present
to clarify recent local newspaper articles and other stories
concerning INRIVCO and the proposed industrial park at the
Landfill. He assured the Board that he and Mr. Lipshie "stand by
every word of" their proposal to Indian River County; however, Mr.
Slomowitz has withdrawn from participation in the Indian River
County project and other joint projects.
Mr. Knigin explained in detail the roles and qualifications of
the original three partners. Mr. Slomowitz was included in the
group for his financial worth and was to have supplied the
financial backing for the project. However, Mr. Knigin thought an
old quote might apply: "Sometimes you can't separate a man from his
wealth". Mr. Knigin stressed that Mr. Slomowitz was to have
contributed the equity investment of $1 million toward the venture
before getting his stock.
Mr. Knigin proceeded to give a lengthy, sequential narrative
telling of a memorandum agreement which had been drawn up in late
July 1996 to memorialize the understanding the three had reached.
It was sent to Mr. Slomowitz for his signature, but Mr. Slomowitz'
attorney drew up a joint venture agreement, which he (Slomowitz)
had signed and sent to Mr. Knigin in September asking for his and
Mr. Lipshie's signatures. Meanwhile, Mr. Knigin and Mr. Lipshie
had already substantially invested in the venture. In a letter
written November 5, 1996, to Mr. Slomowitz, Mr. Knigin advised him
that cash flow needs had grown and in order to acquire an equity
interest in the company (INRIVCO), it would be necessary for Mr.
Slomowitz to now invest $1,500,000. In his November 12, 1996
response, Mr. Slomowitz advised that he found it necessary to
withdraw from the various projects and that he expected Mr. Knigin
to notify those concerned and that he (Slomowitz) intended to do
likewise. It was apparent, due to the swift publication of the
newspaper article, that Mr. Slomowitz had immediately notified the
local newspaper. Mr. Knigin explained that due to receipt of the
letter late in the week with the intervening weekend, regrettably
it was impossible to notify the Board before they read about Mr.
Slomowitz' withdrawal in the newspaper.
Mr. Knigin mentioned that they have three other industrial
parks in the planning stages, two in New York and one in Oregon.
He stressed that other financing will be available for the project.
Mr. Knigin suggested that the real concern of the Board was
whether the project has the potential for success. He gave many
assurances that it does and that it will be developed correctly.

He stated that the investment community does not like to invest in
waste -related transactions unless there are "deep pockets"
involved, also the county must be credit -worthy. He named several
companies which are interested in the project and detailed their
recent investigations concerning production of methane gas. He
explained the following organizational chart and provided more
details concerning the three named companies.

Mr. Knigin pointed out that constant fine tuning of the
project is necessary and the numbers have to make sense because it
is their money on the line. He affirmed they are not looking to
the County to provide money.
Mr. Knigin reported that they are being "deluged" by people in
the business interested in coming to Indian River County. He
explained the role of Ocean Spray with respect to the need/plan for
steam generation. He advised of a meeting with the Adler Group in
Miami and that industrial parks are their area of expertise. He
stated that Adler is desirous of providing the leasing, management,
and development of the industrial park. In reference to Adler
investing equity capital in the project, he read a letter he had
received by FAX indicating their interest in further discussion.
Mr. Knigin assured the Board that the project was extremely
viable and worthwhile.
Norman Lipshie also assured the Board that they have
personally supported this project, have the ability to continue to
support it and will support it. He told of meeting with Grunthal
28
November 26, 1996
and GE Credit. He predicted the project would be completed with
the most modern technology known in the industry.
Commissioner Eggert thanked them for the very clear
presentation. She explained the reason the County is purchasing
land near the landfill is for expansion of the landfill and that
the County has provided INRIVCO an opportunity to lease the land.
Mr. Knigin responded to several questions posed by
Commissioner Ginn concerning the participation of the Adler Group,
plans for organic conversion, steam generation and the amount of
waste stream necessary to make generating steam feasible.
Utility Services Director Terry Pinto expressed confidence in
the project whether it is developed by this company or another. He
did not feel waste stream would be a problem, that the people who
will utilize the project will rely on low-cost purchase of raw
material and their survival is based on the sale of the end
product.
Director Pinto reported that staff has been other than
delightful in their negotiations with Mr. Knigin in their effort to
get a fair deal. He stressed that the success of the project is
the elimination of greed on the part of any partner and everyone
involved needs to understand that. It is important to make sure
that everyone is happy when they leave the table. He has talked
with people all over the country about the project, and reported
that the whole process is being watched by others who are
interested. He emphasized that in order for the project to succeed
here, it must have the support of the community.
Commissioner Ginn asked if it might be possible to get a
conditional contract in an effort to get financing commitments, and
Mr. Knigin responded that Director Pinto and County Attorney
Vitunac are very tough negotiators and that an understanding has
not yet been reached. He also commented that lenders cannot commit
financing based on "ball park" figures, but require specific
information. He expected that negotiations would be moving more
swiftly now.
Commissioner Ginn was concerned that Director Pinto and County
Attorney Vitunac might need more help in negotiating, and
Administrator Chandler assured her that while they are the primary
negotiators, they receive input from him and other disciplines.
Commissioner Ginn strongly felt it would be better to have a
negotiating team which might consist of 2 county attorneys, the
Budget Director and the County Administrator as she believed there
is wisdom in many opinions. She also wanted a workshop after
November 26, 1996BooK 99 Fa�F9
ma f�u 950
receiving all the material the Board has to analyze in order to
make a decision.
Administrator Chandler again assured her there has been a
great amount of input from him and the Budget Director. He was
presently very carefully studying a draft agreement which was
prepared last week. He stated they are making good progress in
negotiations, but significant work is still necessary especially in
the financial aspects.
Commissioner Macht felt that Commissioner Ginn's concerns were
valid since this will be a 40 -year contract and many circumstances
and regulations will change over that period of time.
Commissioner Eggert agreed that it was good to have a number
of people in on the negotiating, but it is not particularly good to
add people who are not familiar with the project just for the sake
of having more people on it.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Ginn to
establish a team consisting of Administrator
Chandler to lead, Director Pinto, 2 County
Attorneys, Budget Director Baird, a member of
the Commission and a member of the community,
perhaps Gene Winne, to evaluate and analyze
the contract.
Chairman Adams objected to the inclusion of Mr. Winne and
Commissioner Ginn agreed to eliminate him.
Attorney Vitunac cautioned that they do not want to formalize
a team because they would get into sunshine laws with minutes and
negotiating in public.
Commissioner Eggert knew they were meeting on this and felt it
was Administrator Chandler's decision on whether or not to set a
committee. She has made it very clear that Administrator Chandler
is the one responsible.
Commissioner Ginn commented that because she is a new
Commissioner, she has a number of concerns and has to be certain
because it is a long agreement.
Commissioner Macht SECONDED the motion for
discussion.
Chairman Adams, Commissioners Tippin and Eggert spoke against
the motion giving their reasons. Commissioner Macht believed the
Administrator feels he has all the help and input he needs.
30
November 26, 1996
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
failed 1-4, with Commissioners Adams, Eggert, Macht
and Tippin against.
Gene Winne, 2096 Windward Way, Vice President/Board of
Directors of the Civic Association, advised his background was in
the chemical and plastics industry and investment banking. He
wished to make it clear that he was a recycling advocate. While he
commended Mr. Knigin for the innovative project, he was concerned
about the project's feasibility because of the present soft market
in the recycling industry.
Mr. Winne asked Mr. Knigin to answer numerous questions as
follows: Which entities will be actually owned by INRIVCO vs those
to be operated by customers for various recycle streams? What is
INRIVCO's estimated total investment and capital structure,
particularly debt vs equity requirements? Who are the actual
partners with legal and financial responsibility to the County,
apart from the various obviously high-grade contractor/ associates?
Aside from spoken assurances, what guarantees does the County have
that the project will be successful? What are the total revenues
anticipated from product sales and leasing vs County tipping fees
of $4-5 million per year? Is it really practical to contract out
to 40 years with a fixed pricing formula, knowing that many
underlying factors can change radically with passage of time?
Mr. Winne realized that the answers to some of the questions
got into confidential data, but stressed that the Board carries a
heavy responsibility in committing to the project and they need to
feel confidence that it can succeed.
In summary, Mr. Winne suggested three separate yet overlapping
goals that need specific evaluation: 1) The political need to
recycle; 2) The optimum/ economical method to recycle and extend the
landfill capacity; and 3) The creation of new jobs and enhancement
of our economy. He hoped it would be possible for all to work
together to proceed toward an early mutually beneficial conclusion.
Louis Schlitt, speaking on behalf of himself and a member of
the Chamber of Commerce Industrial Committee, stressed that we
should not lose sight of the objective but should focus on the
uniqueness and quality of what many people want to have. From his
real estate experience, he maintained that a contract is essential
before you can negotiate. When people back out, it does not
necessarily mean doom, but may be just an opportunity for someone
else to build on. He maintained we have a good group of people and
they should be given a chance to prove themselves.

BOOK 99 Fac, 951
Boos 952,
Peter Robinson, local builder/developer, noted that from past
negotiating experience, he vouched that County Attorney Vitunac was
always protecting the County. He commented it was a difficult
task trying to find somebody to make our land worth something.
Commissioner Macht commented that 40 years from now he would
be getting along in years and wanted to be able to look back and
say this was done right.
County Attorney Vitunac interjected that it actually will be
80 years.
Pat Silk, of Jobs Training Centers, Inc., 1408 Old Dixie
Highway, advised of the need for skilled high-tech and high -wage
industries to employ skilled workers. He supported the project
with safeguards as it will be good for the County, and our quality
of life, and that it will be economically viable.
Brian Bogart, plant manager of Ocean Spray on Oslo Road, spoke
in support of the project and stressed that the citrus industry is
very important to this community. He considered it very important
and is always looking for ways to produce a higher return to his
growers by cutting costs. Utilities are the big cost in the
industry. He thought a linkage with the park would be beneficial
for the significant reason that the source is so close to the
recycler.
Mr. Bogart recounted how he has been investigating a device
which would convert combustibles to heat source. Ocean Spray would
use the steam to run machinery which presently costs them $400,000
annually for electrical power. He suggested that off-season, the
energy generated might be used for the City of Vero Beach power
plant. He regarded this as a unique chance for the County to build
an industrial park and still maintain high standards for a very
clean industry in an ideal location. He emphasized that the
project makes extreme sense but requires utmost caution and due
diligence. He stated it will help all the people in the county and
offered to answer questions.
Commissioner Ginn was very troubled about whether there would
be enough combustibles remaining, after the recyclables are
removed, to produce the energy level necessary, and Mr. Bogart
believed it would because a large amount of combustibles go to the
landfill right now. He also advised that ash is very recyclable
and with modern equipment there are no visible emissions from the
stack.
Director Pinto advised that staff had the same concern and
emphasized that the facilities being built are sized to the waste
32
November 26, 1996
stream that we know is there. He pointed out that an advantage of
the park is that each facility will be dependent on the other.
Gene Gagliardi, president of Indian River Aerodrome Group,
felt this morning's discussion had been very enlightening. He
asked why Indian River County was selected for this industrial park
project, and Chairman Adams replied that the County solicited bids
and selected this firm from the bids. Mr. Gagliardi also asked
about technical advisors for the County, and Chairman Adams
responded that experts, Camp Dresser & McKee and Raftelis, had been
hired to do research and make recommendations. From his
engineering background, Mr. Gagliardi was aware of prior failures
to generate methane as a fuel. He suggested that some technical
people be hired for our side to investigate before the decision is
made.
Chairman Adams assured Mr. Gagliardi that the Board looks to
consultants very often, and that in this project the County expects
to be the leader, not the guinea pig.
Mr. Gagliardi was concerned the county would end up being the
garbage disposal area for the east coast of Florida, and Chairman
Adams assured him it was not going to happen and Commissioner
Eggert pointed out that there will be a cap on the amount of
garbage coming in.
Milt Thomas, Chamber of Commerce, speaking for himself,
reminded everyone that the objective of negotiations is not
"victory" but "agreement". He supported the project and hopes it
works.
Chairman Adams expressed appreciation to Messrs. Knigin and
Lipshie for taking the time to come to Vero Beach and appear before
the Board.
Commissioner Eggert pointed out once the contract is
finalized, many of the questions would be answered.
Commissioner Ginn requested a list of the technical firms
currently working on this project which Administrator Chandler will
provide.
Chairman Adams suggested that staff set up a time to meet with
Commissioner Ginn to bring her up to date on this project.
Chairman Adams announced a short break at 10:50 a.m. and the
Board reconvened at 10:59 a.m.

November 26, 1996 BooK 99 u F 955
Florida Communities Trust (FCT),
cost -share grant extension for
Islands.
Background
boa 99 f*a 956
urging the approval of a 6 month
the purchase of the Lost Tree
On April 12, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved a
Conceptual Approval Agreement (CAA) with the Florida Communities
Trust for a 40% cost -share grant regarding purchase of the Lost
Tree Islands. As a part of that Agreement, the County elected to
have the FCT be the lead negotiator of the purchase. Because the
Lost Tree Islands are located partially within the City of Vero
Beach and partially within the Town of Indian River Shores, the
City and the Town are parties to the Agreement.
In accordance with State procedures and county policies, appraisals
and negotiations for the purchase of environmental lands are
confidential. In general, however, regarding the Lost Tree Islands,
FCT made a formal offer to Lost Tree Village Corporation in
February, 1996, based on two certified independent appraisals.
Just recently, representatives of Lost Tree submitted a counter-
offer to FCT, and have been meeting with local officials on land
use issues in an effort to facilitate a coming to terms.
FCT Grant Extensions
Generally, FCT Conceptual Approval Agreements are structured to
expire after 6 months, unless an extension is formally requested by
a grant recipient and approved by the FCT Governing Body. In the
past, such extension approvals have been routine, with the County
obtaining CAA extensions as a matter of course for its FCT grant
projects, including the Wabasso Scrub and Prang Island properties,
which the County has purchased.
The FCT grant award for the Lost Tree Islands will expire on
December 4, 1996, unless an extension is approved by the FCT
Governing Body at its quarterly meeting on December 3, 1996. To
date, the FCT Governing Body has approved four 6 month extensions
to the original Lost Tree Islands CAA. On October 31, 1996, county
staff sent a standard CAA extension request letter to the FCT for
the FCT Governing Body to consider extending the Lost Tree Islands
CAA an additional 6 months, to allow for continuing negotiations
(see attached).
However, FCT staff has advised county staff that, during the 1996
State legislative session, the Legislature adopted provisions that
limit new FCT grants to a maximum of two years. Consequently, FCT
grants that were awarded prior to 1996 and have been extended more
than two years are under increased scrutiny, and FCT approval of
further extensions is less assured, particularly if significant
progress in negotiations is not apparent.
Both the City of Vero Beach and the Town of Indian River Shores
consider the Lost Tree Islands to be a top priority acquisition, to
protect against island development. Vero Beach attorney staff has
advised county staff that the City is planning to send a letter to
the FCT urging that the grant extension be approved and that the
FCT continue a diligent effort to negotiate purchase of the
Islands. A similar letter is expected to be sent to the FCT from
the Town of Indian River Shores.
ANALYSTS
County staff has contacted FCT staff, and FCT staff has indicated
that it supports an extension to the Lost Tree Islands CAA, and
will recommend to its Governing Body that the extension be
36
November 26, 1996
M M
approved. Further, FCT staff expressed confidence that, with its
positive recommendation, there is a good chance that the extension
will be granted. FCT staff did advise, however, that a letter of
support from the Commission Chairman would be helpful, particularly
since the County is the principal grant recipient and similar
letters are expected from Vero Beach and Indian River Shores.
County staff asked FCT staff if it would be prudent for the County
to send a representative to attend the December 3, 1996 FCT
Governing Body meeting, in case questions arise concerning the
grant extension request. FCT staff indicated that they did not
think it was necessary. Nevertheless, county staff will keep in
touch with FCT staff, and will be available to attend the December
3rd FCT meeting in Tallahassee if determined by staff to be
warranted.
RECOMMENDATION:.
Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Board Chairman to
sign the attached letter to the Florida Communities Trust urging
the FCT to extend its cost -share grant to allow for continuing
negotiations regarding purchase of the Lost Tree Islands.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously authorized
the Chairman to sign the proposed letter to the
Florida Communities Trust urging the FCT to extend
its cost -share grant to allow for continuing
negotiations regarding purchase of the Lost Tree
Islands, as recommended in the Memorandum.

WILLOW STREET PAVING AND DRAINAGE ENJPROVEMENTS
ALLOCATIONS TO EXPEDITE PROTECT
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of November 21, 1996:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,
Public Works Director
li
SUBJECT: Willow Street from CR512 to 77th Street
Paving and Drainage Improvements
DATE: November 21, 1996
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Engineering Division has completed the following tasks on the
design of the Willow Street paving and drainage improvement project
(approximately 2 1-4 miles in the south east Fellsmere area).
Field Survey - Location & Topographic
Computer Drafting - Existing Conditions
Preliminary Road and Drainage Alignment Design
Determination of Additional Right -of Way needed (71-�- acres)
Preparation of Legal Descriptions for Additional
Right -of -Way
Title Searches for Additional Right-of-way
Right-of-way Map
Right -of -Way Deeds
Preliminary Utility Coordination
Preliminary Discussions with St. Johns River Water
Management District on Stormwater Permitting
Last month, the Board approve staff's recommendation to nullify the
special assessment method approved last year so that a lawsuit
filed by property owner Kahn (owner of approximately 1000 acres in
the area) could be dismissed. Staff is currently working with the
Property Appraiser's office to prepare a new municipal service
benefit unit (MSBU) program for consideration by the Board and City
of Fellsmere in March, 1997. Recently, several property owners in
the area have requested that the County expedite the project since
increasing agricultural and residential traffic is repeatedly
aggravating the condition of the unpaved road.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
To accelerate the project, the following three time consuming
project tasks need to be expedited:
1) Right-of-way Acquisition - Thirteen parcels in unincorporated
area and possibly forty in the City of Fellsmere.
The estimated cost of right-of-way acquisition is $160,000 if
property owners are cooperative.
45
November 26, 1996 KO99 PACF .965
500K 99 f"A'iF 966
2) Utility Relocation - FPL, Southern Bell, and Falcon
Cablevision aerial facilities - Cost to County is
Approximately $20,000.
3) Stormwater and Environmental Resource Permitting.
If outside consulting services are retained to expedite the right-
of-way acquisition, it is estimated that $30,000 would need to be
allocated to fund the work. To accelerate stormwater permitting,
it is estimated that $40,000 in consulting services is needed.
Since a portion of the existing utilities are in utility easements
outside of existing Fellsmere Farms Water Control District right-
of-way, the cost to relocate the utilities is estimated at this
time to be $20,000.
RECOMMNDATIONS AND FUNDING
To expedite the project, staff recommends allocating $250,000 from
the Local Option 1(� Sales Tax Program (Fund 315-214-541-066.31,
$300,000 budgeted for FY96/97). In addition, authorization to
begin the proper process to retain outside consulting services for
right-of-way acquisition and environmental permitting, as well as
proceeding with utility relocation, is requested.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
the allocation of $250,000 from the Local Option 1(�
Sales Tax Program Fund in order to expedite the
Willow Street paving and drainage improvements
project; and authorized staff to begin the proper
process to retain outside consulting services for
right-of-way acquisition and environmental
permitting, as well as proceeding with utility
relocation, as recommended in the Memorandum.
LOUISIANA AVENUE WATER MAIN - MAIN STREET TO CR -512

FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO
DIRECTOR OF UTILIWS VICES
PREPARED JAMES D. CHASTAI

SUBJECT: LOUISIANA AVENUE WATER MAIN (MAIN ST. TO CR 512)
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -96 -17 -DS
46
November 26, 1996
In an ongoing effort to continue expansion of the Sebastian service
area utilities, and in compliance with the interlocal agreement
between the City of Sebastian and Indian River County, both the
County and City staff have identified the need for water service to
be provided to Louisiana Avenue (between CR 512 and Main Street) in
Sebastian. This need is being driven by a request from the City of
Sebastian to provide service to "Grace's Landing," a proposed 70 -
unit assisted living housing project at the corner of Louisiana
Avenue and Palmetto Avenue in the City of Sebastian. (See attached
letters from developer's engineer and the City of Sebastian.)
Water service will be provided by the County through an assessment.
The developer will extend sewer service from Main Street.
The extension of said water and sewer lines will be in conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Sebastian and
constitutes no violation of any City goal or objective of the
City's Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, would be in compliance
with the Plan. The City of Sebastian supports the extension of
both the water and sewer lines.
On July 9, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River
County adopted Ordinance No. 96-13, which created the Sebastian
Area MSBU for Water and Sewer Line Extensions.
ANALYSIS
Fifty-five properties will benefit from the water line extension on
Louisiana Avenue from CR 512 to Main Street --twenty-three are less
than .25 acre in size, thirteen are less than .50 acre, ten are
more than .50 acre and less than 1.0 acre, and nine are greater
than 1.0 acre. The Grace's Landing parcel is 8.31 acres. Forty-
three of these properties contain improvements such as homes or
commercial businesses. There are twelve vacant/unimproved
properties.
An existing survey will allow design and permitting to commence
promptly. Design will be prepared by the Utilities Department
staff. A preliminary project cost estimate to be assessed,
including construction, engineering, and administrative expenses is
estimated at $155,400.00. The estimated cost per square foot is
$0.10789373924. This project is to be funded through the
assessment of property owners benefiting along the proposed water
line route. In the interim, financing will be from the assessment
fund. Grace's Landing will be paying 70 water and sewer ERUs,
equating to $288,470.00 in impact fees.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval
of the above -listed project authorizing the Department to proceed
with the design and engineering work in preparation for the special
assessment project.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
the Louisiana Avenue Water Main project as stated in
the memorandum and authorized staff to proceed with
the design and engineering work in preparation for
the special assessment project,

TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL MEETING
Commissioner Tippin advised there was nothing on the agenda at
the last Regional Planning Council meeting. He was surprised the
night before the meeting to find an RPC staff memorandum in the
backup concerning a proposal to assess the feasibility of extending
the Southeast Florida Eastward Ho Movement corridor "north to
Sebastian".
Commissioner Tippin was uncomfortable with this proposal when
he saw it in the backup but was unable to reach Community
Development Director Bob Keating prior to the meeting to see what
he knew about it.
Commissioner Tippin advised that he expressed strong
opposition to the extension of the Eastward Ho project into Indian
River County at the RPC meeting. Later he learned that Director
Keating was not aware of this plan until he was contacted after
Commissioner Tippin's opposition at the meeting.
Commissioner Tippin could think of no reason why we should be
included at all. Because of his opposition at the meeting, the
wording was changed to move the Eastward Ho Corridor line "north of
Palm Beach County".
Commissioner Tippin requested support from the Board on the
position he took at the RPC meeting.
Commissioner Eggert pointed out that we are in a totally
different water management district from south Florida and this was
the kind of thing we have been up against for years in the Regional
Planning Council.
Chairman Adams maintained this was exactly the way RPC staff
has put things on the agenda at the last minute in the past hoping
it will be overlooked and agreed upon. She specified that all four
members representing our area should have been contacted and
advised it was on the agenda.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by
Commissioner Eggert, to request that Indian River
County be excluded from the Southeast Florida
Eastward Ho Movement.
Under discussion, Commissioner Macht requested that the
discussion to again consider abolishing the Regional Planning
Councils be put on a future agenda.
Commissioner Eggert felt that Peter Spike, one of our area's
TCRPC members, was well aware of it and advised that he has been an

infill advocate and tends to function for Ft. Pierce rather than
Indian River County.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously.

Waste Disposal District.

and carried, the Board adjourned at 11:11 a.m.
