THROUGH:- Stan Boling, AICP
Planning Director
FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP-/W M
Senior Planner, Current Development
DATE: March 3, 1997
SUBJECT: Final Plat Approval for Oak Harbor Plat 6 to be Known as
the Oak Harbor Amenities Plat
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular
meeting of March 11, 1997.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
The Oak Harbor amenities plat is a replat of a portion of the
overall Oak Harbor Master Plat of Grand Harbor. The requested
replat will -create 10 separate discontiguous tracts. The use of
the tracts includes: 5 tracts for golf course use, 3 for
condominiums, 1 for the clubhouse, and 1 for the ACLF (adult
congregate living facility) site. The tracts are scattered
throughout the Oak Harbor development. The entire project area is
zoned RM -6, Residential Multi -Family (up to 6 units per acre) and
has an M-1, Medium Density 1 (up to 8 units per acre) land use
designation.
At its February 27, 1997 meeting,the Planning and Zoning Commission
granted preliminary plat approval for the Oak Harbor Amenities
plat. The final plat application is consistent with the approved
preliminary plat.
ANALYSIS:
The required improvements for the Oak Harbor Amenities plat have
been completed with the previous phases of the Oak Harbor
development. The plat establishes boundaries within which
development has taken place. The boundaries are being established
so the tracts can be owned and managed by different corporate
entities. Approved site plans will control development within each
tract. All requirements related to the replat have been satisfied.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant final
plat approval for the Oak Harbor Amenities plat, a replat of a
portion of the Oak Harbor Master Plat.

F. Florida Power & Light Radiological Emergency Preparedness Grant and
Purchase of Capital Equipment - Modification #1
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 27, 1997:
TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Douglas Wright, Director
Department of Emergency Services
FROM: Nathan McCollum, Radiological Emergency Analyst ,//�/�L
Department of Emergency Services /
DATE: February 27, 1997
SUBJECT: Approval Of Modification #1 To The Florida Power & Light
Radiological Emergency Preparedness Grant and Purchase of
Capital Equipment.
Federal guidelines require any county within 50 miles of a nuclear
power plant to adequately plan should a General Emergency be
declared by the utility. Indian River County is located within the
50 mile Ingestion Pathway area for the St. Lucie Nuclear'PowerPlant.
Because of the sophisticated software (cd-rom and disk) products
for Ingestion Pathway planning, a new computer is necessary for
adequate radiological planning in Indian River County. The current
computer is a 1991, 386 motherboard with 4 megs of RAM and a 40 meg
hard drive. The new computer will have Pentium power along with 32
megs of RAM and a 2.1 gig hard drive.
Permission has been received from the Florida Division of Emergency
Management as noted in the attached Modification #1. Florida Power
& Light has agreed to provide -100% funding for this computer
through the 1996/1997 Radiological Emergency Preparedness Grant.
Funds for this purchase will be transferred from 001-237-525-033.49
to 001-237-525-066.47. The attached Modification #1 will allow
immediate purchase of this computer without any impact to ad
valorem tax revenues. The attached Modification #1 simply
transfers funding from the Exercise category to the Equipment
category.
The cost of the new computer is $2200.00 which includes transfer of
files, increased memory, installation and configuration. The new
computer will be purchased from a previous computer bid submitted
by the Emergency Medical Services Division.
Staff recommends the Board approve Modification #1 and the purchase
of a new computer using existing funds in the Radiological
Emergency Preparedness Grant and budget amendment to move funds
from 001-237-525-033.49 to 001-237-525-066.47. Staff further
recommends the purchase this computer from Computer & Peripheral
Warehouse using prices from Bid #7013.

Modification 11 and the purchase of a new computer
from Computer & Peripheral Warehouse (prices from
Bid #7013) using existing funds and Budget Amendment
to cover the purchase in total amount of $2,200, as
recommended in the Memorandum.

IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
G. Children's Services Network - Schedule a Public Hearing for Proposed
Ordinance
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 4, 1997, and the
proposed ordinance attached thereto: (Clerk's Note: Full proposed
ordinance and 18 -page proposed guide may be found in the agenda
backup in the Office of the Clerk to the Board.)
DATE: March 4, 1997
TO: Indian River County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Indian River County Children's Services Advisory Committee
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance and Guide to Create a Children's Services Network
The proposed ordinance and draft guide to create a Children's Services Network
(CSNetwork) is submitted for your review and recommendation for public hearing. These
proposals reflect our efforts to create a system for evaluating the needs of our children and
recommending funding for programs designed specifically to meet those needs. Our premise is
that children should be our priority and prevention is the key to the success of our firture
generations.
The CSNetwork will function as an advisory board to the County Commissioners. The
ordinance is designed to involve the lead "stakeholders" in children's issues --individuals working
directly with children and appointed members representing geographical and social diversity in our
community.
Two areas need further clarification:
• Millage Rate: The Children's Services Advisory Committee is recommending a 0.125
mil to fiord children's services. We are proposing that this amount be reached over
three Years with an incremental increase each year --first year $300,000, second year
$500,000 and the third year 0.125 of a mil or approximately $750,000.
• County Staffing: Staffing will be critical to the success of the CSNetwork in
accomplishing its goals and objectives. Although this is an internal decision of the
county administrator, it is our recommendation that an executive director be
appointed with support staff necessary to fulfill the requirements specified in Section
103.30 of the proposed ordinance.
14
March 11, 1997
0
The documents presented to you represent the commitment of many individual& and
organizations dedicated to improve services for children. If approved, we are requesting a public
hearing on March 25, 1997.
Commissioner Macht offered minor changes for clarification.
Commissioner Ginn objected to the item being on the Consent
Agenda, and Chairman Eggert advised that it was only to schedule a
date for the public hearing on the proposed ordinance.
Commissioner Ginn was concerned about the appropriation of tax
dollars for the committee and that they alone will make
recommendations with the Board's approval.
Commissioner Macht pointed out that the Tourist Development
Committee has the same authority as set out here.
Chairman Eggert advised that provisions are set forth under
Home Rule to allow expenditures by certain committees with Board
approval. She requested that there be set procedures for RFPs and
grants and that both come through the BCC. She also wanted more
monitoring criteria.
Commissioner Tippin strongly supported the concept but
questioned establishing a millage to fund the program.
County Attorney Vitunac thought this was like a very formal
advisory board. Whatever millage is suggested, the Board has the
power to change at Budget time.
Commissioner Macht thought this would all be discussed at the
public hearing, but gave a brief history of the development of the
idea. The possibility of a dependent district was considered and
found unacceptable for various reasons, the home rule concept was
better from his point -of -view. He felt there are serious problems
in caring for the children of low income families in the county.
He stated it would not raise taxes, only the funding mechanism
would shift. He thought the committee did an great job in putting
the proposed ordinance and guide together. He believed that with
staff's help, an acceptable ordinance and guide could be presented
for the Board's consideration at the public hearing.
Commissioner Ginn wanted more information before the public
hearing. She wanted the need specified and where there might be
overlap of other agencies. She had. no problem with the concept,
but wanted to make sure there is a real need for setting it out in
this manner.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
scheduling the public hearing on March 25, 1997, as
requested.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - FRANK ZORC REGARDING
REFERENDUM (WASTE CONVERSION INDUSTRIAL PAM
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 5, 1997:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
DATE: March 5, 1997
SUBJECT: Frank Zorc Request to Speak to BCC
FROM: James E. Chandler fC�
County Adminis for
This date I advised Mr. Zorc that his request to appear before the Board at the March 11
meeting has been placed on the agenda
I advised him that such requests have been consistently scheduled under the Public
Discussion section of the agenda and that is where I have placed his request.
Chairman Eggert requested that the presentation be limited to
15 minutes and that INRIVCO be considered a dead item.
Mr. Frank Zorc advised he would take much less time and began
his presentation with a lawyer/toxic waste story. He stressed that
he felt very strongly that a referendum should be held to get the
peoples views concerning the concept of a waste conversion _
industrial park at the Landfill.
Mr. Zorc advised that he also supports changing the County to
charter form of government, claiming that the primary reason the
beach erosion dilemma was moved from the City of Vero Beach to the
County was to avoid the City's charter requirement for a referendum
vote of the electorate.
Mr. Zorc advised that his purpose for appearing before them
was to ask the Board to initiate more study for (1) changing to
charter government and (2) a commitment to honor any valid voter -
initiated petition for a referendum. He requested they respond to
his remarks.
Chairman Eggert was very concerned about the tactics used to
stir up the community on the waste conversion process before anyone
had the final information. She understood that flyers were out
saying that garbage was going to be imported from New York and New
Jersey, which she said was absurd when you think solely of the
20
March 11, 1997
transportation costs. She thought the difficulty was getting
adequate information out to the public.
Commissioner Ginn theorized that when the public does not have
the facts, then they begin to suspect many different things. She
thought that a workshop should have been held earlier. She
stressed that the waste conversion park was a very expensive and
significant project and thought it was prudent to be cautious.
Responding to Mr. Zorc's comments, Commissioner Ginn replied
that dead is dead, INRIVCO is dead.
Chairman Eggert asserted that the company is no longer an
issue, but the Board must discuss whether or not to have staff
negotiate with the second bidder.
Commissioner Macht believed it needed to be stated that much
of what is happening in the community is based on INRIVCO's draft
contract to the County. The County's counter offer was much
different, and was much more favorable to the County. He doubted
that INRIVCO would have signed it and that would have terminated
the relationship.
Administrator Chandler added that staff were attempting to
negotiate an acceptable contract, but they never arrived at that
point.
Commissioner Ginn thought the public feared that it would be
accepted without adequate public input.
Chairman Eggert appreciated that concern, and reiterated that
the Board would have had as many workshops as needed before going
to public hearing.
Mr. Zorc appreciated their comments but stressed that there
cannot be a better way to obtain public input than a vote on a
referendum. He asked Commissioner Ginn if she would support a
referendum, and she declined to comment on that question, saying
she had not had time to think it through.
Commissioner Macht commented that historically many state
referendums have been generated because the Legislature would not
enact laws they should have, and some have had disastrous results.
Mr. Zorc thanked the Board for the opportunity of appearing
before them.

Re, RFQP 6047
Dear Mr. Chandler.
It is requested that my name be placed on the agenda for the next meeting of the Indian
River Board Of County Commissioners which I understand is scheduled for Tuesday March
11, 1997. 1 would appreciate the courtesy of a 15 minute allocution to speak to the
Commissioners on the subject proposal.
I would also appreciate the courtesy of a verbal confirmation.
Yours

Mr. B.J. McClure, 395 Newport Drive, Vero Beach, advised that
he was a retired trial lawyer and emphasized that he had never been
disbarred, suspended or disciplined. He stated he was appearing as
a concerned lawyer, resident, and taxpayer looking for government
responsibility and accountability particularly with respect to the
INRIVCO "fiasco".
22
March 11, 1997
Chairman Eggert requested that Mr. McClure confine his remarks
to 15 minutes, which he said he would try to do.
Mr. McClure began his lengthy presentation by elaborating on
two things that he believed needed to be done to restore public
confidence. He urged the Board to 1) re-evaluate their position on
government in the sunshine; and 2) investigate the circumstances
that got us where we were with INRIVCO, before considering any
other developer.
Mr. McClure recounted his homeowners group's deep concern
about the proposed contract, his contacts with County Attorney
Vitunac, and his review of the documents given to him. He took
issue with the County denying his request to monitor the contract
negotiations. He inferred that because of the "secrecy" of those
negotiations there was something going on that was not honorable.
Mr. McClure described in some detail the investigation he made
concerning Mr. Kenneth Knigin's record as an attorney and his
disbarrment and that he could find no record that INRIVCO was
formed in New York or Florida. He related also that there were no
phone listings when he checked the five cities given as reference.
He also checked out the financials of Mr. Marvin Slomowitz and
found that his company's stock had decreased by half while similar
businesses had almost doubled.
Mr. McClure criticized Commissioner Tippin's comment at a
prior meeting as not being responsive. He maintained that bricks
must be cast at Utility Services Director Terry Pinto and County
Attorney Vitunac, and that they should both resign because they
were the ones most involved with the INRIVCO matter. In his
opinion, they were unqualified to participate in these
negotiations.
Mr. McClure recounted that he had examined most of the waste
conversion park and INRIVCO documents and pointed out various
irregularities and omissions. He reiterated that the Board should
insure any further negotiations are in the sunshine. He asked the
Board to commence an investigation and suggested that a state's
attorney office outside the 19th. Judicial Circuit would be
appropriate. He predicted that if it is not done, this sort of
thing will happen again and again.
Chairman Eggert felt that Commissioner Tippin had made his
statement by saying that the Board of County Commissioners had
voted each step of the way. She interpreted it to mean that the
County Commission was going to take responsibility for the errors,
23

boor,".� U PAGE l�
also that a number of people were involved in the negotiations and
that he did not feel it was fair to pick on one or two people. The
Board realizes there are improvements; they are already underway.
Commissioner Adams responded that the first bricks have to get
thrown at the Commissioners, excluding (new) Commissioner Ginn.
She accepted the responsibility. She was disappointed that she
never had a chance to see the contract when it was presented to the
Board and became public. This type of negotiation by staff is not
subject to the sunshine law. Contracts have to be negotiated,
terms changed, and somewhere there is a happy medium. Negotiations
were cut off appropriately by Administrator Chandler. She thought
that somewhere we were derelict in not checking references, but
believed that when the contract got to Commission level these
things would have come out. She appreciated Mr. McClure's interest
and involvement.
Commissioner Macht commented that Mr. McClure's assertion that
the Board was on the "brink of signing the contract" was
inaccurate. If that had occurred, it would have been only after
long discussions and long investigation. He reported that Mr.
McClure's assertion that we would end up with the garbage of New
York and New Jersey could happen right now under flow control.
Commissioner Macht then proceeded to give a short update on
flow control topics that he had learned at the recent NACo
Conference. He advised that the status of the flow control
legislation is very troublesome, and points to the need of doing
something with garbage and recyclables. The Board was making
progress on a good project, but unfortunately it was with someone
whose honesty was very much in question. It does not mean that the
Board would have contracted in a way to jeopardize the citizens.
Commissioner Ginn thought the contract negotiations had gotten
too far down the road. She asked for the documents because she
knew it would take a long time to digest them. When she first read
them, she reacted the same as Mr. McClure. She felt Mr. McClure
was not out of line in his statements. She believed the matter was
handled carelessly. She addressed various questions to the County
Administrator. She stated she had lost confidence in Director
Pinto and County Attorney Vitunac, and that, right now, the entire
matter was a big question mark to her.
Commissioner Tippin responded concerning his statement, by
advising that he has been around politics for a number of years,
and he thought that at a County Commission meeting, a public
24
March 11, 1997
meeting, was not the place to throw bricks at staff. He felt it
was disgusting.
Commissioner Tippin questioned Mr. McClure's judgement in
purchasing property near the county's dump, but emphasized he would
fight for Mr. McClure's right to do so.
Commissioner Ginn commented that the Board has to deal with
things in the sunshine, and that was exactly where she intended to
deal with them.
Administrator Chandler guaranteed that negotiations have been
a team effort by himself, the County Attorney, the Utility Services
Director, and the Budget Director. Administrator Chandler stated
that he has the ultimate responsibility by ordinance. He could go
through the documents point -by -point with Mr. McClure, but he did
not believe it would resolve anything. It was a proposed contract
and was not finalized. There was a great deal of discussion on tip
fees and financials and scenarios which had not been concluded.
County Attorney Vitunac stated that the committee of four had
negotiated what they thought was a good contract. They put their
hearts and souls into it. It was not presented to the Board or
anyone because it was not quite final. He resented an implication
that there was anything in it other than hard work and honest
labor. He pointed out that it was very easy to challenge the
integrity of people who work for the public because they cannot
respond. He assured everyone that they are honest and intelligent
and had prepared a contract that if the Board had seen it, they
would have been proud. He felt that the Board owed it to the four
to sit down with them to go over the 40 -page document. There was
an answer to everything Mr. McClure said and he was not on base.
He thought Mr. McClure was mad because he was denied access to
their negotiating session. If the Board wants the committee to
negotiate in public, they can do it. He predicted they would not
end up with a good contract, and knew from experience that it would
fail. A good contract has to be negotiated at the staff level.
County Attorney Vitunac called it unfortunate that the real
estate developer, chosen by the Board, after a selection process,
had something in his background, which, if the committee had known,
would have caused them to be suspicious.
County Attorney Vitunac advised that he has been with the
county 12 honest, hard-working years, and he had never been asked
to do a background search. His office is not budgeted for, nor is
he qualified to do background checks. He does not have access to
25

the NCIC and so forth, but he would have done whatever he could, if
asked, and would have gotten the police department involved.
County Attorney Vitunac felt it was just a fluke that they
happened to find that Mr. Knigin was disbarred. He asked if that
meant someone is honest if he has not been disbarred. He thought
there was a lot more to background checks than that. He counselled
that if staff does background checks without the proper competency,
they risk lawsuits for invasion of privacy, et cetera. He
maintained that there are scores of people presently working for
the County without background checks.
County Attorney Vitunac felt the reprimand directed at two of
the team was a little severe, but he could live with it. He cannot
live with accusations of dishonesty from the man who has stated he
is a trial lawyer. Now that the contract is public, that man is
welcome to sit with them to get all his questions answered.
County Attorney Vitunac respectfully requested that each of
the Board, or all at once, go through the contract with the four on
the committee, to have every question answered, because he did not
want it said that they do not have confidence in their lawyer or
the rest of the staff.
County Attorney Vitunac regarding this county as probably the
best county in the state of Florida, and it got that way by the
very people being castigated. We have been here for 12, 15, and
longer years always working for the public good. He assured that
the Board can have confidence in himself and the rest -of the staff.
Commissioner Ginn was glad to hear his comments. She wanted
to know if the other two County attorneys were involved in this
process.
Deputy County Attorney Will Collins advised that he thought he
could speak for Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien and
himself. He stated that they reviewed the draft of the ground
lease and contract and provided comments to County Attorney
Vitunac, and he incorporated many of those comments into the
contract. They were not involved in the day-to-day negotiations or
fine tuning.
Assistant County Attorney Terry O'Brien advised that Deputy
County Attorney Will Collins had correctly stated all the facts
concerning the review. He wanted to say one thing about government
under the sunshine, adding that he had been associated 9 years with
the City of Vero Beach, and 7 years with the County, that there is
absolutely no requirement and it would be absurd to have a
26
March 11, 1997
requirement that staff would bring in the public during any
negotiations.
Mr. McClure requested a rebuttal and Chairman Eggert reminded
him this was not a trial. He cited a Supreme Court case in Palm
Beach County that specifically voided a county contract as the
result of holding contract negotiations in secret. (Town of Palm
Beach vs Gradison and Tolar vs School Board of Liberty County)
County Attorney Vitunac advised that the Gradison case
involved an advisory committee appointed by the Town of Palm Beach
for the zoning code.
Glen Legwen stated he has the original RFP 60-47, issued March
1, 1996. He thought that somewhere it should contain a statement
that the proposer has not been convicted of any kind of crime since
that statement is required of any professional.
Chairman Eggert assured Mr. Legwen that all of that will be
reviewed.
Commissioner Macht wanted to go on record to say that he has
absolute confidence in our legal staff and their integrity. He has
known them for years and he has never, ever, seen one instance that
was questionable.
(At 10:13 a.m., the Chairman called for a short recess at the
request of Commissioner Macht. The meeting was reconvened at
10:19 a.m. with all members present.)
Penny Chandler, Indian River County Chamber of Commerce,
admired how the Board handled the earlier portion of the meeting.
She felt it important to say that the Chamber feels a great deal of
confidence in the Board of County Commissioners and the members of
staff.
Ms. Chandler advised that their Board of Directors met
yesterday, and then read a brief statement into the record asking
the Board to take a look at what has transpired during the past
year and view the current status of the project as an opportunity
for the taxpayers rather than an obstacle, to not think the time
and money was wasted, but that many lessons were learned.
Extending the life of the Landfill, creating jobs, and broadening
the tax base is a concept the Chamber continues to support. It is
unfortunate that this project did not come to fruition, however,
the proposed project continues to have merit and there are
qualified developers and financial people who remain interested.
They applaud the County officials for thoroughness and urge them to

take the next step in continuing to move this project along with
another business firm. It is sometimes difficult to make changes
and take risks, but not taking risks and planning for change can be
the biggest risk of all.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - APPEAL OF GLEN BILLUPS
CONCERNING UTILITY BILL G
Administrator Chandler reviewed a Memorandum of March 10,
1997:
DATE: March 10, 1997
TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO
DIRECTOR OF UTILIT SERVICES
PREPARED JOHN J. BYRNE
AND STAFFED ASSISTANT DIRE OR OF UTILITY SERVICES
BY: DEPARTMENT OF ILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: APPEAL TO BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MR. GLEN BILLUPS - UTILITY BILLING
BACKGROUND and ANALYSIS
1. Account taken over from the City of Sebastian on October 1,
1995.
2. October 1, 1995 through August 22, 1996, account averaged
2,000 to 3,000 gallons/month.
3. During the period August 22, 1996, through September 24,
1996 (1 month), Mr. Billups used 7,000 gallons - an
approximate 200% increase in consumption.
4. September 24, 1996 through October 22, 1996 (1 month) 2,000
gallons - return to normal consumption rate.
5. October 22, 1996 through November 22, 1996 (1 month) 67,000
gallons - this abnormally high reading triggered an
automatic leak investigation which was conducted by Avatar
Meter Services on November 25, 1996. Avatar Services found
no leaks, however they found an outside hose which had been
left running - customer turned it off.
6. November 22, 1996, through December 23, 1996 (1 month)
consumption was 10,000 gallons. On December 3, 1996,
another leak investigation was conducted by Mr. Leon Young,
of our Department, resulting in a finding no evidence of any
leaks.
7. Mr. Billups requested that his meter be checked for
accuracy.
8. Meter was replaced on January 6, 1997 and checked for
accuracy. The usage for that two week period December 23,
1996 through January 6, 1997, was less than 1,000 gallons an
amount equal to or less than his normal consumption of 2,000
to 3,000 gallons per month.
Fl?
March 11, 1997
_I
9. Meter was checked for accuracy and the results were as
follows: High flow - 98.5% accurate; Medium flow - 98.5%
accurate; Low flow - 87% accurate. In other words. Mr.
Billups' meter was reading low in his favor at low flow
rates. This meter had been in existence previous to our
takeover of the Sebastian system.
10. January 6, 1997 through January 23, 1997 (new meter) - 1,000
gallons (or 2,000 gallons or normal consumption for that'
monthly billing period).
11. If the hose had been left running wide open (approximately
20 gal./min) for 2.6 days the consumption would have been
approximately 74,000 gallons which would be the amount in
excess of Mr. Billups' normal usage for the two (2) month
period October 22, 1996 through December 23, 1996, less than
full open'would just take a little longer to achieve that
consumption rate. More than likely, the hose was left
running for a period of time covering both billing periods
in question.
WHAT WE DID
It was explained to Mr. Billups that his consumption for the
November 26, 1996, billing was 67,000 gallons for a total of
$322.89. At that time an adjustment was made on his bill for
excess water charges totaling $131.65, leaving a balance of
$191.24. Mr. Billups felt this amount was still too high.
Payment arrangements were discussed and on December 13, 1996, Mr.
Billups agreed to a payment plan of four (4) monthly payments in
the amount of $47.81 each, due on the first day of each month.
(Please see a copy of the signed agreement attached)
During the third week of January a courtesy call was made to Mr.
Billups by Art Reisfeld, to advise Mr. Billups that his payment
had not been received. Mr. Billups informed Mr. Reisfeld that he
was still protesting this amount. His payment was received on
February 6, 1997, under protest.
After this conversation, a meeting was scheduled for February 12,
1997, with the Assistant Director of Utilities. The meeting was
held and in attendance was Jack Byrne, Art Reisfeld, Richard
Votapka and Mr. Billups. Please refer to a copy of the letter
dated February 14, 1997, to Mr. Billups, explaining the outcome
of the meeting.
Copies of all of the information regarding this matter was
provided to Commissioner Fran Adams per her request.
Glen Billups presented his appeal and stated that he had
spoken with a hydrologist in Pennsylvania who thought that the
meters could have been old and worn out. He also believed that the
houses nearby share the same problem.
Commissioner Adams commented that 67,000 gallons should be
visible.
Commissioner Macht added that 67,000 gallons would have filled
3 swimming pools and gave an account of a hose that burst at his
home which resulted in a very high bill that he had to pay.
Utility Services Director Terry Pinto pointed out that Mr.
Billups' meter had been replaced, that the meters work" on

hydraulics in measuring the water usage, and that meters tend to
slow as they get older.
Administrator Chandler suggested that the high usage could
have been caused over several days.
Mr. Billups advised that his yard's soil consisted of sand,
and Commissioner Ginn remarked that water runs through sand easily.
Director Pinto advised that Mr. Billups payments can be
stretched out.
The Board discussed billing reduction that had already been
provided, which they felt was fair, and Mr. Billups had agreed to
pay it out over 4 months.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Tippin, to require that Mr. Billups pay
the bill for $191.24 over a 4 -month period, minus
any payments already made.
There was a brief discussion about the amount owed on the
billing in question, which Customer Service Supervisor Art Reisfeld
stated was now $143.41.
Chairman Eggert restated the motion so that Mr. Billups was
able to hear and understand it.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried 4-1 (Commissioner Adams opposed).

LOCAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN

March 11, 1997
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of March 11, 1997.
1 �l; I' Y 1► ►11 I I I YY 21INN
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 420.907, F.S., the State Housing Initiatives Partnership
Program (SHIP), and Rule 9I-37.005, Florida Administrative Code (FAC), the Board of County
Commissioners approved the Indian River County Local Housing Assistance Plan (Ordinance #93-
13) on April 6, 1993. In June, 1993, the Florida Housing Finance Agency approved the county's
plan and authorized the disbursement of SHIP funds for FY 92-93 and FY 93-94.
According to a 1993 amendment to Rule 9I-37.005(2), Florida Administrative Code, the county had
to submit a new Local Housing Assistance Plan by May 2, 1994, to be eligible for the FY 1994-95
allocation of SHIP funds.
On April 5, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners adopted resolution #94-48, which approved
the county's revised 3 year plan for FY 94-95, FY 95-96, and FY 96-97. The Florida Housing
Finance Agency then approved the county's revised plan on August 29, 1994, and authorized the
disbursement of SHIP funds until June, 1997.
A new revised three year plan, covering FY 1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000, is due to the state
on or before May 2,1997, to make the county eligible for FY 1997-98 allocation of SHIP funds.
On February 13, 1997, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee reviewed the revised Indian
River County Local Housing Assistance Plan and recommended that the Board of County
Commissioners approve this plan and direct staff to submit the plan to the Florida Housing Finance
Agency for their review and approval.
The county's approved plan addresses all state requirements, local requirements and local concerns.
The plan also ensures that assistance is provided only to recipients needing assistance and then only
in the minimum amount necessary.
Since state requirements mandate that the Local Housing Assistance Plan be updated to reflect the
next three year period, staff took this opportunity to identify needled changes to the plan. The
proposed revisions to the plan fall into one of the following categories:
• To delete duplication
• To set a new maximum purchase price based on FHA's current maximum loan amount
• To revise the plan consistent with new changes in the state rule to allow the housing cost to
income ratio to exceed the 30% threshold, if the first mortgage lender is satisfied that the
applicant can afford mortgage payments that exceed the 30% benchmark
• To provide for emergency repairs for weatherization activities
• To limit the recapture provision to the original loan amount and applicable accrued interest
• Other minor changes
Additions to the plan are shown as underlined and deletions are shown as redlined.

ANALYSIS
In finalizing the proposed revisions, staff worked with the SHIP lenders committee. The SHIP
lenders committee (Affordable Housing Partnership Committee) is composed of representatives from
financial institutions, non-profit organizations, builders/contractors, real estate agents, and county
staff. Because of its members' knowledge of and expertise with the housing industry, the SHIP
lenders committee has functioned as an advisory committee to both AHAC and staff. In reviewing
the revised plan, the lenders considered AHAC's objective of ensuring that SHIP funds are provided
only to those households having need.
At their January and February meetings, the SHIP lenders committee discussed the proposed
revisions and provided comments to staff. The revisions to the plan are such that they would not.
change any major requirements of the Local Housing Assistance Program.
Staff, the SHIP lenders committee, and the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee believe that
revising the Local Housing Assistance Plan will ensure consistency with state requirements and
provide needed flexibility for special cases.
With respect to the proposed revisions to the Local Housing Assistance Plan, the Board of County
Commissioners has three alternatives. These are:
P. To adopt the revised plan
► To adopt the revised plan with changes
► To reject the revised plan
Either of the first two alternatives will ensure that the county will maintain its eligibility to receive
SHIP funds for 1997-98.
Staff, the SHIP lenders committee, and the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee recommend
that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached resolution approving the revised Indian
River County Local Housing Plan and direct staff to submit two copies of the revised plan to the
Florida Housing Finance Agency for their review and approval. The Board should also authorize
the Chairman to sign the certification page.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution No. 97-16 approving the County's revised
Local Housing Assistance Plan for FY 1997-98, FY
1998-99, and FY 1999-2000 and providing for the
State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP)
requirements; directed staff to submit two copies of
the revised plan to the Florida Housing Finance
Agency for review and approval; and authorized the
Chairman to sign the certification page, as
recommended in the Memorandum.

LOCATION OF PROPOSED STATE TELECOMAINIMCATIONS TOWER

FROM: Stan Boling, AICP

DATE: March 5, 1997
SUBJECT: Request for Board Concurrence on the Location of a
Proposed State Telecommunications Tower
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at_ -its regular
meeting of March 11, 1997.
BACKGROUND:
Several months ago, county staff became aware that the state was
considering the placement of a ±350' tall, multi-user
communications tower within the I-95/CR 512 interchange right-of-
way. Such a tower, constructed by the state on state lands, is not
subject to either the county's tower moratorium or the county's
tower regulations. Even so, staff and Commissioner Fran Adams
contacted the state, expressing county concerns about the potential
negative aesthetic impacts of such a proposal. On January 8, 1997,
county staff and Commissioner Adams met with state (FDOT) staff and
state consultants to get more information and discuss alternatives.
At that meeting, the state described the need for multiple state
agencies to have communications facilities along the I-95 corridor
in Indian River County at CR 512 (350' tower) and at SR 60 (140'
tower). At the meeting, county staff and state staff agreed to
work together to find alternative tower sites that would have fewer
negative impacts (see attachment #1). Since that time, staff and
Commissioner Adams have worked with FDOT, Department of Management
Services, and DEP staff to work-out alternative sites that better
address county concerns and meet the state's needs.
County staff now requests that the Board of County Commissioners
concur with an arrangement to "re -locate" the I-95/CR 512 tower to
a state-owned site north of CR 512 and east of 102nd Terrace (see
attachment #2). The Department of Management Services staff would
like to have the Board's concurrence so that they can move ahead
with the project without objection from the county. Staff is still
working with the state to find an alternative arrangement for the
I-95/SR 60 interchange 140' tower.
ANALYSIS:
During the last few weeks, county staff and Commissioner Adams have
worked with Department of Management Services and DEP staff to re-
locate" the proposed 350' north county tower to property located
37
March 11, 1997 buoP, F U
60Qr, u PAGE ite r
north of CR 512 and east of 102nd Terrace that was recently
acquired by the state as conservation lands ("Coraci tract" CARL
lands). Staff has also worked with DEP staff, who have management
responsibilities for the property, to find a site that is not
environmentally sensitive and can be easily accessed. The agreed
upon site is former pasture land approximately 400' east of 102nd
Terrace, about I mile north of CR 512.
The proposed tower will be 350' tall with an antenna and lightning
rod attachment reaching 370' above ground level. Up to 18 agencies
will use space and facilities on the tower, including: FDOT, FHP,
Marine Patrol, Game & Fish Commission, FDLE, Insurance Department,
Fire Marshall, and others. The facility will consist of a fenced
"compound area" with a self-supporting tower, access driveway to
102nd Terrace, 2 equipment buildings, a generator and pad, and fuel
tank facilities (see attachment #3). The fenced compound area will
be located 350' east of 102nd Terrace, southeast of XL Vision and
northeast of Macho Products.
In county staff's opinion, this site will have fewer negative
aesthetic impacts on the public, and will be located in a more
remote area than the originally proposed I-95/CR 512 interchange
site. If the Board concurs with this arrangement, no further Board
review will be scheduled, and all aspects of coordination with the
state will be handled at a staff level. As previously stated, the
county has no regulatory authority over the state's tower siting.
Agreed upon arrangements, such as proposed, are the only effective
means for county input into the state's tower siting decisions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board concur with the siting of a ±350'
state communications tower at the referenced 102nd Terrace site in
lieu of a I-95/CR 512 interchange location.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Tippin, to approve staff's
recommendation as set forth in the memorandum.
Under discussion, Commissioner Macht commented that it was
forthcoming of the State to negotiate when it was not required.
Commissioner Tippin agreed that it was unusual for the State.
Commissioner Ginn commended Commissioner Adams for her work on
this.
County Attorney Vitunac added that his office and Community
Development Director Bob Keating called the highest State official
they could, a lawyer for DEP, who told them in no uncertain terms
that this would not happen. Then Commissioner Adams went to work.
Commissioner Adams advised that the matter is not finished yet
as there is a proposal for yet another tower site at the CR-512/SR-
60 intersection.

Dear Mr_ Boling:

March 7, 1997
T—'M%C .. nus,., Ms U
The Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) is currently reconsidering both the Feldsmere
tower site and the State Road 60 tower site in your county due to tower restrictions in the county.
It is my understanding that the Feldsmere site is being successfully relocated by the Department of
Management Service (DW for the DMS Division of Communications Joint Task Force project as
well as for the DOT.
However, the relocation of the State Road 60 site to a Bell south Mobility tower was found to be too
costly and therefore abandoned leaving the State Road 60 site permit unresolved..
The DOT request:. that Indian River, in consideration of the DOT good faith effort to relocate,
reconsider its position regarding this site and allow the DOT to permit and construct at the origieal
site proposed.
At this time, a response regarding this request for reconsideration will be greatly appreciated so that
the department can decide the future of this construction project and plan accordingly.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Gottschalk, PE.
ITS Communications Engineer
Director Boling explained the towers proposed by the State at
the two intersection sites. He advised that staff still recommends
against having either tower at the locations proposed by the State.
He recommended that staff write back to DOT saying that we still do
not want the tower in the interchange and we will continue to work
to find an alternative as was done at CR -512. There is still more
work to be done on the one proposed at SR -60.

THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously.
Commissioner Adams suggested that staff proceed to send a
letter objecting to the location of a tower at the interchange (off
ramp) of I-95 and SR -60. She would also send a letter. With
respect to the CR -512 & I-95 tower, there was not as much
maneuverability as is possible on the SR -60 one. She committed to
using diligence to help get this new proposed tower moved as well.

At the March 4, 1997, meeting the Board tabled action on the staff recommendation toroceed with
Waters Risk Management for preparation, analysis and recommendation of the Coun�jr's property,
casualty and third party claims administration services. A question was raised concerning the
prospective vendors for such consultant services.
As reported at the meetings the Risk Manager met with the Purchasing Manager prior to issuing the
Request for Proposals, Mrnewed the Vendor list on file with Purchasing, and eliminated from it those
vendors who sell insurance products and services. Integral to this RFP was the elimination of any

responded, and Waters Is Management was recommended as the most qualified and most
responsive.
This afternoon, I met with Commissioner Adams and gave her a copy of the Vendor list and the
newspaper advertisement. Her questions on the selection process were answered, and we would
like to have the agenda item considered by the Board.
Commissioner Adams advised that her questions have been
answered and that Waters Risk Management was the best choice.
In response to Commissioner Macht, Administrator Chandler

ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The low bid submitted by Tim Rose Contracting, Inc;was not accompanied by a bid bond
nor an executed Trench Safety form. In speaking with Tim Rose, he was under the
impression that if the bid was below $50,000, not only would the Performance and
Payment Bond not be required, but also the bid bond was not required. For this reason,
he did not submit the bid bond.
Staff checked the references for the two lowest bidders. The City of Vero Beach and
Indian River County both have contracted with Timothy Rose Contracting and are satisfied
with past performance. Mr. Rose is a resident of Indian River County. Neither the City of
Vero Beach nor the County have recently contracted with Hutchinson Utilities Services of
Jensen Beach. Staff spoke with Ed Vockins, Engineer with Martin County Utilities,
regarding past work in Martin County and a Good Recommendation was given.
Alternative No. 1
Disqualify the low bidder, Timothy Rose Contracting, Inc., since a bid bond
and Trench Safety form was not submitted. There are advantages and
disadvantages to this alternative as follows:
Advantages Disadvantages
No bidding requirements waived Cost is $1948 less (7%)
Bid is backed by Surety Bidder is local resident
County has good experience with contractor
Contractor's business is closer to job
Award bid to Hutchinson Utility Service Corp. Of Jensen Beach for the bid
of $28,728.30.
Alternative No. 2
Waive the requirement of a bid bond and request the Contractor to submit
a Trench Safety form. The Board has the right to waive any formality of the
bid process and award the bid which is in the best interest of the County.
Award the bid to Timothy Rose Contracting, Inc. of Fort Pierce in the amount
of $26,780.30. -
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Altemative No. 1 is recommended. Funding to be from the $92,500 FRDAP Grant and 1 ¢
Local Option Sales Tax Program.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously approved
Alternative No. 1, (disqualified low bidder, Timothy
Rose Contracting, Inc. for reasons stated) and
awarded Bid 17031 to Hutchinson Utility Service

UTILITIES IWACT FEE ANALYSIS - CH2M HILL - RESOLUTION
REVISING IMPACT FEES AND LINE EXTENSION CHARGES
Utility Services Director Terry Pinto reviewed a Memorandum of
February 28, 1997:
DATE: February 28, 1997
TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO
DIRECTOR OF UTI SERVICES
PREPARED JOHN J. BYRNE
AND STAFFED ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES
SUBJECT: RATE RESOLUTION TO (a) ADOPT IMPACT FEE ANALYSIS
BY CH2M HILL (b) ADJUST LINE EXTENSION FEES
BACKGROUND
The Department of Utility Services, in a continuing effort to
ensure equal treatment of its customer base, has reviewed the
current Rate Resolution and proposes amendments as they relate to
the following items: (a) Impact Fee Analysis done by CH2M Hill,
January 1997, (b) Line Extension Fee Adjustment.
ANALYSIS
The Department proposes the attached amendment to the current
Rate Resolution 91-9 as follows:
(a) Adopt the proposed impact fees as detailed in the attached
analysis done by CH2M Hill in January 1997. The proposed
impact fees would slightly decrease the existing impact fees
by a combined total of $25.00 or 0.62-o to $4,096.00. The
water impact fee would decrease from $1,570.00 to $1,300.00
and the wastewater impact fee would increase from $2,551.00
to $2,796.00.
The Department proposes the attached additions amending and
replacing Resolution 95-16 as follows:
(a) Line Extension Fee Adjustment - The Line Extension Fee is
charged to recover line extension costs in areas that have
not been assessed. The current Line Extension Fees (Water -
$11.25 per linear front foot; Sewer - $15.77 per linear
front foot) were approved on January 24, 1995. (See copy of
minutes attached) The Line Extension Fee Adjustments are as.
follows:
1. Water Main Extension, per foot measured along front
of property served, where service is available on
both sides of facilities, $11.25. Water Main
Extension, per foot measured along front of property
served, where service is only available on one side
of facility, $22.50.

2. Sewer Main Extension, per foot measured along front
of property served, where service is available on
both sides of facilities, $15.77. Water Main
Extension, per foot measured along front of property
served, where service is only available on one side
of facility, $31.54.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that
the Board of County Commissioners approve the adoption of the
attached resolution which sets forth the above-described changes
and amends portions of Resolutions 91-31 and 95-16, which adopted
rates, fees and charges for the Department of Utility Services
pursuant to the authority of Ordinance 91-9, etc.
Director Pinto advised that Mr. David Green (Economist with
CH2M Hill) was present to answer questions on the analysis.
Commissioner Ginn requested a better index and better cross
reference for the analysis. She asked why Indian River County has
one of the highest impact fees and sewer rates in the state.
David Green advised that the capital investment in the system
is the main determinant of the impact fee.
Commissioner Ginn thought the report was misleading and then
proceeded to ask several questions. Mr. Green responded to her
questions in detail and further explained various factors which led
to the increase in impact fees and decrease in the water rate.
Commissioner Ginn felt the inflation rate used (5%) was high
and Mr. Green pointed out that the analysis was projecting to the
year 2010 and that it was better to use a higher figure, rather
than lower, and then make an adjustment. He also explained the
discount rate.
Commissioner Tippin pointed out that the comparison of the
county!s current and proposed water and wastewater fees with those
of other Florida communities (Exhibit ES -2) was not in the analysis
and he wished to see it.
Several Commissioners voiced their agreement.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously tabled the
matter for one week.

FOR "OLD GIFFORD TAYCEE BUILDING"
Deputy County Attorney Will Collins reviewed a Memorandum of
March 5, 1997:
44
March 11, 1997
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: kA William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney
DATE: March 5, 1997
SUBJECT: Lease Agreement With Gifford Junior Chamber of Commerce
The Board of County Commissioners on March 4, 1997 terminated the Lease
Agreement with the Indian River Ministerial Council for the property known as
the Old Gifford Jaycee Building located at 4716 33`d Avenue. Termination was
for failure to comply with the covenant of paragraph 7 to renovate the building
within six months.
The Board also directed staff to bring back a Lease Agreement with the Gifford
Junior Chamber of Commerce which is attached. The following revisions to the
prior lease were made:
1. The dates were revised for a leasehold period from 1997 through 2002,
i.e., five years.
2. Paragraph 7 dealing with renovation is revised to require that the
specifications for renovation be prepared by a licensed architect and that
the renovation be under the supervision of licensed contractors and
subcontractors. (None of the individuals listed to oversee construction on
the Gifford Junior Chamber of Commerce "manpower assignments" are
licensed contractors.)
3. Paragraph 8 of the agreement is revised to specify what insurance
coverage is satisfactory to the County. Although the Board requested that
the Jaycees show insurance at the time of signing, until the lease is
executed, I don't believe they have an insurable interest. This should not
be a concern because under the terms of paragraph 8 the Jaycees must
supply written proof of insurance within fifteen days, and failure to do so
automatically terminates the lease.
4. Paragraph 10 is added to ensure the facility is used as a "community
center", an allowable RM -10 zoning district use.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. The Board find that the use of the leased premises constitutes a
"community center as defined in County land development regulations.
2. The Board authorize the Chairman to execute the lease on behalf of the
Commission.
Mr. Kevin champion, president of the Gifford Junior Chamber of
Commerce (GJCC), agreed with the terms of the lease.

General Services Director Sonny Dean advised that he had met
with Mr. Champion and another representative of the GJCC this
morning to insure they understood the terms of the lease.
Chairman Eggert suggested that the County might sell the GJCC
the building for $1.00 with a reverter clause, and Commissioner
Adams felt that the County should take one step -at -a -time.
Director Dean advised that the GJCC representatives prefer the
lease at this time.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously found that
the use of the leased premises constitutes a
"community center" as defined in the County's land
development regulations, and authorized the Chairman
to execute the lease on behalf of the Board of
County Commissioners, as recommended by staff in the
Memorandum.

SUPPORT OF CULTURAL ENDOWMENT AND FACILITIES GRANTS
Chairman Eggert advised that a number of local cultural
groups, including McKee Jungle Gardens, Center for the Arts,
Riverside (Children's) Theater, have submitted grant requests for
state cultural endowments and facilities grants. She asked if the
Board would be interested in writing Sandra Mortham, Secretary of
State, and to our legislators in support of the funding.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by
Commissioner Ginn, to authorize the Chairman to send
a letter supporting funding of the cultural
endowment and facilities grant program.
Under discussion, Commissioner Macht stated that Indian River
County is always on the short end of this grant. He believed that
an attitude still prevails that our community is too wealthy to
need grants.
Chairman Eggert thought the county was doing better in getting
grants from the state.

RE: Request to -add County Seal to Indian River County Health Department's Letterhead
As you already may know, last year's legislative session did away with the old HRS and
created two new departments --Department of Children and Families and the Department of Health.
This change is bringing about many exciting opportunities with the emphasis on stronger local
involvement and coordination with the Board of County Commissioners.
Several staff members have approached me about placing the Indian River County Seal on
our letterhead to reinforce this active participation and commitment. Apparently, several other
county health departments have both logos or seals on their letterhead. Currently, the Indian River
County Environmental Control Board stationary has both seals present.
Please let me know if our request to include the county seal on our letterhead -meets with
your approval. For your review, I have printed this note on the proposed stationary. If you have
any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at 770-5401. Thanks for your consideration.

of an aquaculture use zone in Indian River County.

Commissioner Ginn asked that the Board establish a Utilities
Advisory Committee under the provisions of Chapter 103 of the Code
to advise the Board of County Commissioners and staff regarding the
County's utility matters. She proposed that each Commissioner
would have one appointment to the Board and two members would be
selected to serve at -large. She specified that members should have
some expertise in utilities and have no agenda or involvement of
their own. She further specified that they would not make policy,
nor direct staff activities. The CH2M Hill Impact and Analysis as
an example of what should first pass through the committee for
their consideration.
Chairman Eggert stressed that the duties of the committee need
to be very specific, should not include oversight of day-to-day
operations, and need to be worked out with Administrator Chandler.
She suggested Commissioner Ginn put together a draft resolution
with all her suggestions.
County Attorney Vitunac offered his office to draft a
resolution with a very broad scope of duties that the committee
would have jurisdiction to review virtually anything to do with
utilities.
Commissioner Macht suggested the resolution be considered at
a public hearing, and Chairman Eggert wanted the Board to have an
opportunity to look at it, and then set a hearing. County Attorney
Vitunac reminded them that a public hearing is not required for a
resolution.
48
March 11, 1997
Chairman Eggert suggested that a draft resolution be brought
back to the Board for consideration.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously agreed that
a draft resolution creating a Utilities Advisory
Committee be brought back for consideration.
REPORT ON NACo CONFERENCE
Commissioner Macht advised that he had attended the annual
NACo Legislative Conference held last week in Washington, D.C. He
explained the purpose of NACo with respect to legislation and
defined "flow control" as the ability of county governments to
designate where trash is taken and processed.
Commissioner Macht then explained the establishment of the
Landfill and that it is required under the bond issue that everyone
in the county must dump in that Landfill. He advised that the
Supreme Court, under the constitutional provision of giving the
Congress exclusive right to control interstate commerce, struck it
down as being unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has designated
garbage as being a matter of commerce, because it has value. So we
cannot require people to dump their refuse in our Landfill, nor can
we forbid it. Congress will not speak to the interstate aspect of
this, but they will consider a very limited "flow control bill"
with a grandfather aspect. He could not predict whether that
proposed legislation would pass, but he reported the comments of
several legislators about it. He indicated it would certainly
affect a recycling park with respect to what can and cannot go into
it.
Commissioner Adams commented that it affects the current
financial stability of our Landfill.
County Attorney Vitunac remarked that luckily our Landfill
pays its way by assessment, not tipping fee, so we are not actually
impacted by that aspect of it.
Commissioners voiced their various concerns and opinions and
discussed what nearby communities had been doing in recycling.
Utility Services Director Terry Pinto explained that we cannot
prohibit garbage from going outside our district, however we can
prohibit material from coming into our county -owned landfill. If
a private landfill were built, we could not prohibit them from
bringing in garbage from outside the county. As long as the County
r1V
March 11, 1997
EuC1r, _�`� ►I PAGE 86e)
600r, FAG[ M
owns its own Landfill, we can restrict it to garbage from only
inside the county.
Commissioner Macht warned that the Board has to be careful on
decisions regarding flow control.
Director Pinto added that if we allow garbage to come in from
outside, we must charge a uniform rate.
In response to Commissioner Adams, Director Pinto explained
that the only ones collecting garbage in the county presently are
the franchisees and they can collect only in our county. They risk
revocation of their franchise if they do not comply with the terms
of their contract.
Concerning mandates, Commissioner Macht advised that he was
somewhat encouraged by some comments he heard, particularly from
the House of Representatives side that they are willing now to
accept responsibility for existing mandates, not just the
prohibition of new ones. Both the Speaker of the House and the
Senate Majority Leader have established their top staffer as being
the contact for input from NACo and the associated counties, so, we
can communicate directly for a change. They would like a synopsis
of the most objectionable mandates that we suffer under now.
Commissioner Macht intends to work with some of the staff to see
what seems to be the most costly and onerous.
Commissioner Macht also advised that Office Depot has offered
discounts on all county purchases. He has distributed the
application forms to our Purchasing Department and also to the
constitutional officers and municipalities.
COWIENT ON FACo REPORT ON COUNTY FUNDING OF STATE
COURTS
Commissioner Macht pointed out that an article in the
Legislative Alert indicated that costly county -funding of state
courts is being brought to a head. He asked who approves payments
to local attorneys and expert witnesses who perform services for
the state courts. He asked the rationale for fees and who has
final approval.
County Attorney Vitunac advised that billings are processed by
his office and that, in contesting many of them, Assistant County
Attorney Terry O'Brien has been successful in reducing fees charged
over the years by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Commissioner Macht requested a synopsis of the fees and a
letter in support of State funding of the State courts.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED by
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously authorized
that a resolution be sent from the Board in support
of the State funding its courts.
County Attorney Vitunac advised that he had received a request
for funding assistance with respect to a lawsuit on the same
subject.
Commissioner Adams explained that Dade County was taking the
lead in the lawsuit and Hillsborough County has joined them. She
suggested that the Board may want to consider a small contribution
to include medium sized counties, because it does impact us. She
thought it would be in court for a long time and that the State
would probably have to find a revenue source to fund it.
County Attorney Vitunac suggested they would have more
information on this after they receive Assistant County Attorney
Terry O"Brien,'s report.
COMMENT ON HE 123 - SPECIAL RISK CATEGORIES
Commissioner Macht advised that House Bill 123 had passed the
Government Operations Committee, that the bill redefines especial
risk member" under State retirement benefits to include ENT's and
paramedics. FACo has pointed out, and Administrator Chandler
concurred, that the change would be extremely costly.
It was the CONSENSUS of the Board, that a letter of non-
support be sent as was done last year.
