B Invitation, from John's Island Club or Staff
to Participate in "Public Sa tz
D y" Golf Outing
The Board reviewed a Memorandum dated September 15, 1997:
TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners
DATE:
September 15. 1997
THROUGH: Jim Chandler, County Administrator
FROM: Doug Wright, Directo
Emergency Services
SUBJECT: Invitation From John's Island Club For Staff To Participate In
"Public Safety
Day" Golf Outing
Since 1990, John's Island Club has sponsored a "Public Safety Day" golf outing at one of the
three courses operated by John's Island. The inaugural tournament was proposed as an
expression of appreciation for the assistance in suppressing a fire at the John's Island West
Clubhouse. Since the inaugural tournament, the invitations have been extended to include all
county and municipal public safety agencies which includes firefighters, paramedics, law
enforcement officers, dispatchers, and administrative staff.
A letter has been received from John's Island Club General Manager Brian Kroh inviting all
Emergency Services staff to attend and participate in the annual "Public Safety Day" event. The
event is scheduled for September 28, 1997, at 9:OOAM.
In January, 1995, the Board approved revisions to Chapter 104 which allows for Commission
approval of such events on a case by case basis. Section 104.06 (5)(b)(8) states "The

Subdivision, Please I (Scot A Wilke - Lot 3, Block Q
The Board reviewed a Memorandum dated September 17, 1997:
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney
DATE: September 17, 1997
SUBJECT: Release and Substitution of Conservation Easement - Lindsey
Lanes Subdivision, Phase I (Scot A. Wilke - Lot 3, Block G)
BACKGROUND:
On July 26, 1994 the Board of County Commissioners approved the concept of
creating a 3-1/2 acre native upland "land bank" to be utilized in future situations
where circumstances within the Lindsey Lanes Subdivision required the release
of platted conservation easements. The original developer, Stolle Development
Corporation, placed approximately 3-1/2 acres of contiguous property which they
owned south of 13th Street, S.W. and west of 27th Avenue under a conservation
easement. The conservation easements within Lindsey Lanes Phase I
Subdivision were at times precluding the development of accessory uses such
as swimming pools on certain lots. Since the approval of the "land bank" by the
County Commission and recordation of the Conservation Easement at O.R.
Book 1030, Page 428, Public Records of Indian River County on August 11,
1994, the Board has approved releases on 18 lots.
REQUEST:
Scot A. Wilke who owns Lot 3, Block G, cannot install a pool without a release of
the conservation easement. The proposal before the Board would release the
conservation easement from his lot. The unutilized square footage in the land
bank area stands at approximately 122,018 square feet at this time. If granted
the remaining acreage in the land bank covered by a conservation easement
would exceed amounts released by 120,418 square feet or 2.76 acres.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Chairman to execute the attached Release and Substitution of
Conservation Easement for Lot 3, Block G.

DATE: September 17, 1997
RE: Request for County Commission Authorization for County Staff
to Obtain Initial Management Services Relating to Acquired
Environmental Lands, Contingent Upon County Administrator
Approval
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of September 23, 1997.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Board of County Commissioners, at its regular meeting on August 2, 1994, approved a contract
with FloridAffinity/Conservation Consultants for environmental land acquisition/management
services. On July 15, 1997, the Board approved a one year extension of that contract
10
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
Relating to the F1oridAffmity contract, on September 6, 1994, the Board authorized FloridAffinity
to subcontract pre-acquisition services on an as -need basis, contingent upon the county
administrator's approval. Those pre-acquisition services include land surveys; title reports; appraisals;
and environmental audits, funded by environmental land acquisition bond referendum monies.
Now that the County has acquired a number of properties under the environmental lands program,
there is a need for the County to obtain services from various companies for initial management tasks,
in accordance with Board approved management plans and inter -agency agreements.
This memorandum is to request that the Board outhorke county staff to obtain services for initial
management tasks, as identified in Board approved management plans or inter -agency
agreements, on an os -need basis contingent upon county administrator approval
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
The County's bond counsel has indicated that initial management costs associated with acquired
environmental properties can be funded with environmental land bond referendum monies. Examples
of such tasks include nuisance exotic plant removal, habitat restoration, archaeological surveys, and
security fencing. The cost for each of the initial management tasks vary anywhere from ±$1,000 to
+$25,000, depending on site specific factors.
The primary advantage of authorizing county staff to obtain services for initial management tasks is
expediency. ffthe Board elects not to authorize staff to obtain services for initial management tasks
on an as -need basis as requested, procedural requirements would entail staff issuing a Request for
Proposals (RFP) each time that a particular service is needed. More than one RFP would need to be
issued for any particular acquisition project site, because different services require different companies
(e.g., archaeological surveys, security fencing, nuisance exotic plants removal).
As proposed, staff would only be obtaining services for management tasks pre -approved by the Board
as components of Board approved management plans or inter -agency agreements. An example is that
the County's lease agreement with the State for management of the Cairns Tract provides that the
county must identify by survey any archaeological sites that may be on the property. Within the next
few weeks, publicly owned property along Jungle Trail will be surveyed by an archaeologist, as part
of the Jungle Trail Enhancement ISTEA ( Inter -modal Surface Transportation Enhancement Act)
grant project. However, relating to the Cairns Tract, only the west portion along Jungle Trail will
be surveyed. By authorizing county staff to obtain services for initial management tasks, staff can
expeditiously coordinate with the ISTEA funded archaeologist to expand his survey of the Cairns
Tract to include the entire property, whereby the extended area survey would be paid for with
environmental land bond funds.
If the Board approves staff s request, staff s procedure will be to secure at least three bids in writing
from different contractors for each task, and will make a selection based on such factors as: cost;
consideration of each bidder's "track record" relating to quality of work; review of each bidder's
ability to meet deadlines, and consideration of each bidder's locality as it affects the particular task.
An exception to this process would be if a contractor is already under contract for other work (e.g.,
the ISTEA funded archaeologist), such that costs can be reduced, in the public's interest, by going
with that contractor without need for other bids.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize county staff to obtain services
for initial management tasks relating to acquired environmental lands, as identified in Board approved
management plans or inter -agency agreements, on an as -need basis contingent upon county
administrator approval. 11
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
Commissioner Ginn wondered how this would apply to properties for which the State
is holding title, and Community Development Director Bob Keating responded that this
matter relates to all of the lands.
Commissioner Ginn asked about security fencing of the property, and Director
Keating responded that they would rather not do it, but in some cases fencing is necessary
to prevent illegal dumping on the properties. They like to keep it to a minimum, but do not
want to see the properties actually degraded by dumping.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously authorized staff
to obtain services for initial management tasks relating to
acquired environmental lands, as identified in Board -approved
management plans or inter -agency agreements, on an as -needed
basis contingent upon County Administrator Approval, as
recommended in the Memorandum.

DATE: September 17, 1997
SUBJECT: Oak Point Development Group, Inc.'s Request for Final Plat Approval for a Platted
Development to be Known as Grove Place
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of September 23, 1997.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Grove Place is a proposed 9.09 acre commercial subdivision comprised of 4 fee simple lots, common
areas, and stormwater tracts. As proposed, the subdivision will "plat -over" an approved site plan
(SP -MA -96-02-06) for 4 medical office buildings. The subject site is located on the south side of
36th Street, in the 1300 block, and zoned MED (Medical).
Recently, the applicant received major site plan approval to construct four medical office buildings,
parking areas, internal driving aisles, stormwater management tracts, and common areas. Currently,
that site plan project is under construction. The developer is now requesting to "plat over" the site
plan improvements in order to convey each building with a fee simple lot.
Grove Place Data:
Project area: 9.09 acres
Number of Lots: 4 lots
On September 11, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary plat approval for
Grove Place. Since site development is controlled by the approved site plan, no land development
permit or permit waiver was required. Therefore, the developer, Oak Point Development Group, Inc.,
through his agent Craven Thompson & Associates, Inc., is now requesting final plat approval.
17
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
�2.
0v',c
ANALYSIS:
1. Subdivision and Plat Regulations: The subdivision chapter of the county's land
development regulations (LDRs) allows developers to "plat over" approved site plan projects
to allow the fee simple transfer of land underneath and around individual projects on the site.
Normal subdivision lot dimensions and lot roadway frontage requirements are waived for such
plats. The approved site plan controls the project's development, including building setbacks
from property lines and separation distances between structures. The subdivision plat creates
lots that can be sold and delineates common areas.
2. Traffic Circulation: The proposed plat request, in conjunction with recorded off -plat
documents, will establish a common area over the site's single two-way driveway connection
to 36th Street. The proposed preliminary plat is consistent with the approved site plan for
the project, and has been approved by the county traffic engineer.
3. Utilities: The project will be serviced by county potable water and wastewater systems. The
proposed preliminary plat is consistent with the site planned utility service connections, and
has been approved by the county's Department of Utility Services.
4. Dedications and Improvements: Required dedications and improvements for development
of the preliminary plat were addressed during the site plan approval process. All drainage and
utilities are privately dedicated either on the plat or by an off plat document recorded in the
public records. By those means, the applicant has satisfied all required dedications and
improvements for final plat approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant
final plat approval for Grove Place to "plat over" the approved site plan that governs development
of the site.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously granted final plat
approval for Grove Place to "plat over" the approved site plan
that governs development of the site, as recommended in the
Memorandum.

K Payment of Indigent Appellant Filing Fees
The Board reviewed a Memorandum dated September 15, 1997:
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Terrence P. O'Brien, Assistant County Attomeyyolz
DATE: September 15, 1997
SUBJECT: PAYMENT OF INDIGENT APPELLANT FILING FEES
BACKGROUND:
Counties across the state have traditionally been charged appellate filing fees for
indigent defendants. The County is required to pay certain enumerated costs for
indigent defendants when such persons are represented by the Office of the
Public Defender. In such cases, costs incurred are paid by the County pursuant
to Florida Statues 27.54(3). Past practice has been to pay appellate filing fees to
the Clerk of the District Court of Appeal, in the amount of $250.00 per case. This
was recently and successfully contested by the Palm Beach County in Circuit
Court and the County was not requested to pay the filing fee.
ANALYSIS:
The basis for this position is that Section 57.081 (1), Florida Statutes, states that
any indigent person in any judicial proceeding shall receive the services of the
court without charge, including filing. In addition, Section 924.17, Florida
Statutes, provides that should the court find the defendant is indigent and unable
to pay costs, "the appeal shall be a supersedeas without payment of costs".
Furthermore, Florida Rules of judicial Administration, Rule 2.040(b)(3), and
Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 9.430, also support the fact that an
indigent person need not pay filing fees.
20
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
Case law also supports the assertion that indigent persons are not required to
pay costs of pursuing legal action in judicial proceedings, including appellate
courts. See Schwab v. Brevard County School Board, 650 So.2d 1099 (Fla. 5th
DCA 1995), Fields v. Zimman, 394 So.2d 1133 (Fla. 4th CCA 1981); and
Chappel v. Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, 419 So.2d
1051 (Fla. 1982).
In Section 27.54(3), F.S. there is no listing of appellate filing fees among the
extensive group of items identified as mandatory expenditures for which the
County is required to pay. The closest any statute comes to addressing this
issue is Section 27.3455(4)(d), F.S.; however, this section only creates a duty to
report on actual expenditures of appellate filing fees and not a duty to actually
pay appellate filing fees for defendants represented by the public defender's
office.
Importantly, Section 924.051(9), Florida Statutes (1996 Supplement) states
"funds, resources, or employees of this state or its political subdivisions may not
be used, directly or indirectly, in appellate or collateral proceedings unless the
use is constitutionally or statutorily mandated". There does not appear to be a
statute or case specifically mandating that the County pay appellate filing fees
for indigent defendants. In absence of such, the County is not permitted to pay.
RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Board instruct the Indian River County Finance
Department to cease paying appellate filing fees for indigent defendants
represented by the Public Defender, and deposit same in an appropriate escrow
account until there is final resolution of this matter. There are 11 cases in this
office for payment of the $250.00 appeal fee.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously instructed the
Finance Department to cease paying appellate filing fees for
indigent defendants represented by the Public Defender, and
deposit same in an appropriate escrow account until there is
final resolution of this matter, as recommended in the
Memorandum.

RE: Connie Gates Request to Speak to the Board Regarding Property
on 105' Place Owned by Bill Jordan
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of September 23, 1997.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
On August 16, 1997, Ms. Connie Gates, owner of Dunn Runnin Mobile Home Park (on 105I' Place
east of U. S. #1), wrote the attached letter to county staff requesting that she be scheduled to speak
to the County Commission concerning property on 105d' Place owned by Mr. Bill Jordan.
Ms. Gates' August 16' letter is one of a number of letters she has written to staff expressing concerns
about the status of zoning code compliance of three adjacent parcels on 105' Place owned by Mr.
Jordan. Generally, Ms. Gates questions county staffs interpretation and enforcement of code
requirements as they relate to the Jordan property, dating back to a 1991 County Code Enforcement
Board decision involving an auto repair business on the Jordan property.
Background/Issues
Following is a general description of the subject Jordan property, and a summary of the main issues
of concern raised by Ms. Gates.
29
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
b0 -A .1,, Darr
General Property Description: The subject Jordan property consists of 3 adjacent parcels, totaling
approximately ±1.2 acres, at the nortlieast corner of U.S. #1 and 105'b Place. The front ±0.4 acre
parcel along U.S. #1 is zoned OCR, Office/Commerciall Residential, and has a Future Land Use
Designation of Commercial /Industrial Node. The remaining two east parcels are zoned RM -6,
Multiple -Family Residential, and have a Future Land Use Designation of L-2, Low Density
Residential. The OCR, U.S. #1 front parcel has a building that was formerly a residence. The middle
parcel is encompassed by a chain-link fence, and the eastem-most parcel has a commercial garage -
type structure attached to an officelresidence. There are also two mobile homes on the eastern -most
parcel.
Auto Repair Business on East Parcel. In 1991, County staff initiated a code enforcement case
concerning an auto repair business on the eastem-most parcel. In bringing that case to the Code
Enforcement Board, staffs position was that the auto repair business in the residential zoning district
was a code violation because its "grandfathered" status had lapsed due to an extended period of time
that the building was vacant. However, after reviewing evidence and hearing testimony, the Code
Board voted to dismiss the case due to insufficient evidence. Subsequently, since staff found no new
evidence supporting its position within 30 days of the 1991 hearing, which is the time -frame allowed
under Florida Statutes for an appeal of a Code Board decision, staff accepted the Board's action and
concluded that the auto repair use was vested as a legal nonconforming ("grandfathered") use.
Ms. Gates contends that the information provided by the respondent to the Code Enforcement Board
in 1991 was erroneous and mislead the Board. Further, Ms. Gates' position is that the Code Board's
1991 action left open an opportunity for the case to be reheard if new information was provided that
rebutted evidence provided by the respondent in 1991. County attorney staffs position is that, in
accordance with Florida Statutes, any opportunity to rehear the case expired 30 days after the 1991
hearing.
Mobile Homes on East Parcel: In 1994, county staff cited Mr. Jordan for a dilapidated mobile home
on the east parcel. In corresponding with Mr. Jordan on that issue, a question arose concerning the
grandfathered status of the dilapidated mobile home (and another existing mobile home on the
property), and whether there was an opportunity for Mr. Jordan to replace the dilapidated mobile
home. After researching the history of the property, staff concluded that the two mobile homes were
grandfathered, and that the dilapidated mobile home could be replaced (see attached 12/21/94 staff
letter to Mr. Jordan on the subject). Ms. Gates questions staff interpretation of county code
requirements that led to the allowance of the two mobile homes as legal nonconformities.
Fenced Middle Parcel. In 1996, county staff cited Mr. Jordan for the storage of commercial "U -
Haul" trailers on the middle fenced parcel. That code enforcement action instigated a review of
property deeds by county attorney staff. As a result, it was found that the middle parcel's ownership
was historically "tie -barred" to the east auto repair parcel, and not to the U.S. #1/OCR parcel
(contrary to depictions on County tax assessment maps). In a letter dated June 5, 1996 (see
attached), staff notified Mr. Jordan of the finding and advised him that, if the middle parcel was
historically used for storage of vehicles being repaired as part of the grandfathered auto repair
business, then storage on the middle parcel would be grandfathered. Mr. Jordan subsequently wrote
to staff and indicated that the middle parcel had in fact been used for vehicle storage as part of the
auto repair business, and the case was closed.
More recently, an issue arose concerning Mr. Jordan's use of the fenced middle parcel to store
vehicles and equipment relating to his irrigation business that is headquartered elsewhere in the
county. Staff advised Mr. Jordan that, since the irrigation business vehicles and equipment are not
associated with the grandfathered auto repair business, the vehicles and equipment must be removed.
Earlier this month, Mr. Jordan indicated that he was in the process of arranging for the removal of
the vehicle(s) and equipment.
30
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
LimousinelAmbulance Business on the US #I/OCR Parcel.
Earlier this year, a limousinelambulance business opened on the U.S. #1/OCR parcel. Prior to that,
Mr. Jordan called county planning staff to determine if the use was allowed in the OCR zoning
district. The County Code does not specifically list limousine and/or ambulance services in its Table
of Commercial Uses (County Code Section 911.10(4)). In such instances, the community
development director is authorized to determine if the use is allowed (ref. County Code Section
911.04(2)(b)) basad on the most similar use listed in the Table of Commercial Uses. In this case, the
community development director determined that the limousine/ambulance service was allowed,
basad on the allowance of a similar use ("general and professional office") in the OCR district.
The limousine/ambulance service business is no longer in operation on the subject Jordan property.
However, Ms. Cates has filed an appeal of staffs determination allowing the use. The County Code
provides that such appeals are heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Gates' appeal is
pending; the appeal is scheduled to go before the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 23,
1997. Depending on the outcome of the Planning and Zoning Commission appeal, the issue may be
further appealed to the Board of County Commissioners.
ANALYSIS
Dating back to 1991, County staff has been responsive to code compliance issues raised concerning
various aspects of the subject Jordan property. This responsiveness is reflected in the numerous
correspondences with Mr. Jordan about compliance issues, including the issuance of several Notices
of Violation In each instance, staff has responded in a professional, objective manner in an effort to
interpret and enforce county land development regulations.
The questions raised by Ms. Gates relate to issues that are not "clear-cut," but rather warranted
interpretations of county laws and ordinances, which interpretations are the charge of county staff.
The County Code has an appeal mechanism when affected parties disagree with staff interpretations,
and Ms. Gates is exercising her right to appeal (on the issue of the limousinelambulance business use
allowance in the OCR district).
By the same token that an affected party has a right to appeal, there are laws that limit the duration
of time after a contested action within which an appeal can be filed. The time limit for appeals serves
to protect other affected parties (in this case, Mr. Jordan) from unreasonable economic (or other)
burdens that could result from an appeal filed months or years after a government action.
Stafrs position is that staff acted appropriately concerning each of the issues raised by Ms. Gates and
summarized herein. Concerning the pending appeal of staffs determination of the allowance of a
limousine/ambulance business in the OCR district, stafrs position is that it is inappropriate for the
Board of County Commissioners to hear the matter until the pending appeal before the Planning and
Zoning Commission has run its course.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners affirm staffs interpretation and
enforcement of county zoning regulations as they apply to the subject Jordan property, except relating
to the limousine/ambulance business use allowance issue which is pending appeal.
Connie Gates told of her frustrations concerning the property owned since 1991 by
Bill Jordan. She gave a comprehensive narration of the history of the property since then and
the code enforcement concerns and frustrations and offered Code Enforcement file
photographs in support of her allegations. She requested the Board help resolve the issues
she brought to them which appear in her letters of September 16, 1997, as follows:

I am coming before you and the other County Commissioners because I am frustrated and I need
your help. Irregularities in code interpretation have occurred in my neighborhood benefiting our neighbor, Mr.
William Jordan, at a great cost to our community. I have been worldng with County Staff for almost one year, who
are unable to resolve any of these issues.
I. Illegal non -conforming uses are allowed to Mr. Jordan on his property at 10596 US#1 and 105
Place.
2. We, as adjoining and abutting property owners, receive no notification from County Staff with
regard to irregular decisions made regarding Mr. Jordan's property.
3. County Staff allows the continued use of illegal non -conforming mobile homes which Mr.
Jordan removed and replaced in 1991.
4. The Code Enforcement Board made a decision to allow Commercial Auto Garage operations on Mr.
Jordan's property, which had previously been residential and is still zoned R M6. Their decision was
based on the written sworn statement of an elderly gentleman whose statements were not true.
The Board allowed a new case to be initiated if new evidence were available. We have that evidence.
We ask that a new case be initiated.
The attached letter tells my story and outlines my arguments as to why we have been damaged as a result
of irregularities in land uses allowed to Mr. Jordan. These uses appear to contradict the Land Use Regulations and
Comprehensive Plan. I ask for your help in resolving these issues we have had to live with, unresolved for 6 1/2
years.
Sincerely
Connie Gates.

Dear Mrs. Eggert;
I have owned my property at 105 Place since 1986. This is a residential
community of primarily senior citizens and older mobile homes. It is a quiet
pristine community on the Indian River Lagoon with wetlands at both the north
and south end of our private road. Our community is truly reminiscent of "Old
Florida".
In 1986 when I purchased my property, there was one limited commercial
occupancy in our neighborhood, a photography studio, situated on US #1 at 105
Place. All other properties were strictly residential.
On July 30th, 1990,. Mr. and Mrs. William Jordan
Agreement for Deed with the then owner, photographer
6 of this agreement allowed Mr. Swartz and his family
residence on the property rent free until August 31,
located at 6360 105 Place.

to live in their

In January 1991, Mr. Jordan rented the residence with attached garage at
6360 105 Place to a man who opened a commercial automotive garage. This was
an illegal non -conformity which went before the Code Enforcement Board in
1991, Case #91-217. Mr. Jordan's attorney represented to the Board that the
property had been used continuously over many years as a commercial auto
garage. This was not true. No testimony was offered. The Board based their
decision on false statemtns made to them and misrepresentations made to them.
Because the Board's action was to determine the allowed use of the property,
We, as adjacent property owners should have been notified of this action. We
were not. Because the Board action resulted in a change of use, with
increased intensity, we should have been notified of this decision. We were
not. I learned of this action, which resulted in the false grandfathering of
the property, from Community Development Director, Bob Keating 5 1/2 years
after the fact!
According to the minutes of this case, the Board did allow that if new
evidence were obtained a new case could be initiated. I believe the Board
should have the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding the use of
this property based on the truth, not lies.
In 1988 a mobile home was removed from 6362 105 Place, east of the
residence with attached garage. The mobile home was a non -conforming use on
land zoned RM -6, and as such cannot be replaced. Mr. Jordan replaced the
mobile home in violation of County Codes in April of 1991. It was replaced
with a mobile home which was originally removed from this site in 1979. It
was proposed to Community Director Bob Keating and County Planner Roland
DeBlois, that this mobile home had at one time been a part of the adjacent
mobile home park, Dunn Runnin, the property which I own. And, in fact,
non -conforming mobile homes may be replaced IF located in a legal
non -conforming mobile home park, HOWEVER they must be replaced within ONE
YEAR, or all non -conformities (the mobile home) shall be considered terminated
and shall not there after be re-established (c.c.904-08(1)).
I purchased Dunn Runnin Mobile Home Park in 1986. The mobile home and
site at 6362 105 Place were NOT a part of my legal non -conforming Mobile Home
Park. This fact prohibits the replacement of a mobile home at 6362 105 Place.
If the mobile home at 6362 105 Place HAD been a part of my park, it would have
to have been replaced within ONE YEAR. In fact, it was replaced after a FOUR
YEAR vacancy. This is not allowed per County Code 904.08 (1). The allowance
of this illegal non -conforming mobile home has no county code to support its
use, yet Mr. Keating and Mr. DeBlois have determined an unknown "gray area"
exists to allow this exception to County Code.
County Code 904.05 (1) Expansion, increase or change of non -conformities
is prohibited unless the change results in a lessening of the degree of
non -conformity. In April 1991 this 200'x121' lot supported one legal
non -conforming mobile home, a residential structure, and one falsely
grandfathered non -conforming commercial automotive garage. The addition of
one more non -conforming use on the 2001x121' lot is not a lessening in the
degree of non -conformity, but an INCREASE, which is in violation of the County
Code. County Staff has ignored the Code to allow Mr. Jordan the privilege of
a non -conforming mobile home where one cannot be replaced. Mr. Jordan
benefits financially from this decision as the mobile home is income property.
A second time in 1991 Mr. Jordan was allowed to replace a non -conforming
mobile home with another non -conforming mobile home on 105 Place. This
parcel was NEVER a part of ANY mobile home park. The County Code does NOT
allow this. Another resident and property owner of 105 Place asked County
Staff to be allowed the same privilege, to replace a non -conforming mobile
home, but they were refused this privilege. Again Mr. Jordan benefited
financially by the code exception and privilege afforded only to him, when he
sold the property at a substantial profit. Why have these exceptions and
special privileges been afforded to Mr. Jordan by Mr. Keating and Mr. DeBlois,
when the exceptions and special privileges are not afforded to all citizens of
our county?
Spring of 1996 we complained to Code Enforcement regarding a U -Haul
business which was operating on a small parcel of 105 Place, owned by Mr.
Jordan. This lot is situated between the falsely grandfathered commercial auto
33
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
0 Ox
garage zoned RM -6 and the building at 10596 US #1, at 105 Place, zoned OCR.
Shortly after our complaint the U -Hauls were removed. We did not receive any
follow up from Code Enforcement. What I did discover, albeit in the Spring of
1997, was a decision had been made by Mr. Keating to allow this middle parcel
to be "grandfathered" for vehicle storage in conjunction with the falsely
grandfathered auto garage, as a result of a tie -bar error, IF Mr. Jordan would
write a letter stating that this parcel had been used continuously over many
years in conjunction with the auto garage. Mr. Jordan sent the letter, as
requested " to the best of my knowledge, the area described in your letter has
been in continued use as a part of the auto repair center for many, many
years. As a part of the repair business, it has been used to store vehicles."
From 1986 to 1991 there was no Auto Repair Center, or Commercial
Automotive Garage. There was no vehicle storage. This middle parcel had
never been used in conjunction with an Auto Garage, as the Auto Garage did not
exist. And since 1991 none of the Auto Garage operators to whom Mr. Jordan
rented EVER used this middle parcel in conjunction with the garage EXCEPT the
U -Hauls.
In fact, this property is physically separated by a chain-link fence,
installed by Mr. Jordan in 1990-1991. The fence encloses the entire parcel
and joins it to the house and OCR lot, west of the garage, facing US #1. This
lot, was used in its entirety by Releaf Trees, a retail nursery in 1993 and
1994. Releaf Trees was yet another illegal non -conforming use of land by Mr.
Jordan, which Code Enforcement was aware of, yet chose to do nothing. Our
neighborhood was subjected to yet another illegal non -conforming commercial
use. And again Mr. Jordan benefits financially through the rental of income
property as a result of an illegal non -conforming use.
How can Mr. Keating allow a property to be grandfathered for a use that
did not exist, knowing full well of the nursery operation which contradicts
the claim of "continued use as a part of the auto repair center for many, many
years...."? This action resulted in another illegal "grandfathering" and a
change in the use of the land which is not allowed even by variance!
The most recent auto garage operation was again an increase in
intensity over the type of work performed and level of intensity by previous
garage operators. This is not allowed per non -conformity codes (904.05 (1)),
yet Code Enforcement allowed it, ignoring differentiation's made in Specific
Land Uses, Section 971.45 (2). We suffered noise, auto storage, auto salvage,
junk yard operations, improperly stored fluids and oils, operating hours
beyond 10:00 PM, dismantled vehicles, improperly disposed of fluids and oils,
spill over on our private road, the free roaming through our neighborhood and
private property by customers and the presence of sheriff deputies to resolve
disputes between the garage operator and customers. All this goes on visible
from the road, yet Code Enforcement Officers were unable to identify ANY
problems here in an inspection conducted 1/6/97. The State of FLorida is
currently in the process of testing my well water for possible contamination
as a result of the chemical spills and storage and disposal practices
resulting from the previous garage operations!
To my great surprise, I discovered in July of this year, Mr. Keating
decided to allow yet another non -conforming use by way of a limosine/ambulance
transport service with on-site vehicle sales, storage and repair, on Mr.
Jordan's property at 10596 US #1 and 105 Place, a property zoned OCR. This
use is not permitted according to the Land Use Regulations and is in
contradiction with the intent of OCR as outlined by the Comprehensive Plan.
The property had been vacant for over three years requiring a site plan and
concurrence, again required by the Comprehensive Plan, yet this has not been
required by Mr. Jordan.
34
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
I am appealing these decisions, but as a result of the limosine/
ambulance transport company's intention to vacate the property, Staff believes
my appeal is moot. It is not only the land use I object to, but most
importantly the decisions that are made by Mr. Keating to allow these uses and
abuses. My appeal continues to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
I have been asking about the garage use and what remedies are available,
since June 1994. I have been working within the system, meeting and talking
with Mr. Keating, Mr. DeBlois, Mr. Collins and Mr. Chandler since November
1996. No action has been taken to correct these abuses and no mechanisms
installed to halt these decisions and privileges that favor Mr. Jordan in
contradiction of the County Comprehensive Plan. This has created a hardship
on our community, undermining our property values and natural resources,
safety and security.
That is why I must come before my County Commissioners. I ask for a
simple thing. I ask that you place our neighborhood under the protective
umbrella of the Land Use Regulations and County Comprehensive Plan. I am
asking you to instruct Mr. Keating and his staff to apply these mechanisms in
our neighborhood as required by Florida Statutes.
The false "grandfathering" of the middle parcel is not allowed by County
Code. I ask you to declare it invalid.
The false "grandfathering" of the mobile home at 6362 105 Place is not
allowed by County Code. I ask you to declare it invalid.
The Code Enforcement Board minutes state "If Staff has further evidence
in the case at a future date, a new case can be initiated" (CEB case #91-217).
Our neighborhood has the truth to tell regarding the past use of this
property, falsely "grandfathering" the automotive use at the property at 6360
105 Place. The Board stated they are willing to look at new evidence. I ask
that you instruct Mr. Keating to make this happen.
I have spent many hours pouring over the County Codes. There are no
great mysteries or vast "gray areas" of interpretation. I ask that you put an
end to the creative code interpretations we have had to suffer for many years.
I also ask that we be notified by certified mail should ANY
irregularities occur involving decisions made with regard to our neighborhood.
We have the right to appeal decisions, yet cannot if we are unaware these
decisions are being made. This results in a usurping of our property rights.
I am disappointed my county's public employees were unwilling to work
with me to resolve these issues. I especially feel bad for the citizens of
our community who have also come forward to resolve issues, but did not have
the stamina or resources available to persevere. It is a shame one must work
so hard to be protected by the law. I see the potential is great for
widespread abuse. Please place me and our neighborhood under the protection
of the law.

At the conclusion of Mrs. Gates' remarks, Chairman Eggert understood that the Board
need not consider the limousine -ambulance issue as it will be appealed and heard on October
23, 1997. Chairman Eggert then turned to County Attorney Vitunac with a few questions.
County Attorney Vitunac advised that Code Enforcement could look at this for new
violations since the last case. The problem with most of the issues is apparently the Code
Enforcement Board heard the case in 1991 and found there was not a violation at the time.
He then explained what needs to be done is for staff to go back and review the file and find
out exactly what was charged and presented to the Code Enforcement Board, and see if there
were any violations since that date which could be brought to the Code Enforcement Board
and proved. There are allegations of false testimony to the Code Enforcement Board; there
were no witnesses to disprove it. The Code Enforcement Board found the testimony to be
true, or at least uncontroverted.
County Attorney Vitunac suggested in the future Mrs. Gates, and people like her, can
be notified. If they are interested in a case, they can attend. Mrs. Gates always has private
remedies in Court with nuisance actions and things like that.
Commissioner Ginn was not sure staff had done enough background checking before
determining the grandfathering of the property. She wondered if anyone had spoken with
the previous owner. She had spoken with him (Mr. Schwartz) just recently.
Commissioner Macht thought Mrs. Gates was looking for some relief from 1991 and
he guessed it could be obtained through the Code Enforcement Board.
Deputy County Attorney William G. Collins II advised that at the time, the attorney
for the Code Enforcement Board was former Assistant County Attorney Sharon Brennan.
He thought perhaps some of the information Commissioner Ginn had received from Mr.
Schwartz might have been helpful in leading to a different outcome in 1991. He had
reviewed the Minutes of the Code Enforcement Board from 1991. A review of the Deeds
on the property led him to believe there was an Agreement for Deed between Mr. Conde and
Mr. Schwartz, which was assigned to Mr. Jordan in August of 1990. He believed that
because there was an Agreement for Deed and Mr. Schwartz was in possession of the
property, he was considered the equitable owner of that property, but he never took legal title
to it. His Agreement for Deed was assigned to Mr. Jordan and Mr. Conde executed a Deed
to Mr. Jordan December 4, 1990. The case was brought later in 1991, by the staff arguing
that the garage was a non -conforming use. They failed to prove the case to the satisfaction
of the Code Enforcement Board and the Code Enforcement Board determined that the garage
36
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
s � �
piece to the east was grandfathered as commercial use. Later, the issue came up about the
other property (shown in orange on the map displayed) as to whether that also was
grandfathered in association with the garage. He explained that he had looked at the Deed
to the property which described three parcels, the OCR piece that fronts on US# 1, a piece
that runs 271' and includes two pieces (orange and yellow on the map displayed), thus
making the fenced -in property part of the grandfathered piece of land. He also pointed out
that he had spent a lot of time trying to resolve these issues, including the possibility of going
back for re -hearing at the Code Enforcement Board. He stated that Mrs. Gates has been
provided with an Attorney General's Opinion found by Code Enforcement Attorney Terry
O'Brien. He read parts of the opinion (Mills case heard by Florida Supreme Court) from
which he agreed with the "since 1991 decision" opinion that County Attorney Vitunac had
given earlier in the meeting.
Community Development Director Bob Keating declared one of the items considered
by the Code Enforcement Board in 1991 was a letter thanking Mr. Jordan (for purchasing
and cleaning up the "garage") which had been signed by about 20 people including Robert
Gates. The letter also contained information that a car repair garage had been operated at
that site before Mr. Jordan bought it.
Director Keating stated he personally did not know of any other property in the
county they have spent more time on or had more Code Enforcement action on, either
formal or informal. They have taken care of many of the problems Mrs. Gates described.
He thought no debris would be seen on that property now. It seemed each of the tenants
who have been in that garage have created code enforcement nuisances.
Director Keating then described how his department tries to work things out with the
respondent giving them time to comply without formally citing them because once the
process starts there are time parameters which generally delay actual compliance. It is in
their department's interest to work cooperatively with an owner in order to get something
accomplished. He described the efforts in this case and dealing with the grandfathering
issues and other problems on this particular property over the years. Code Enforcement
staff and Environmental Health staff have responded to environmental issues. No
contamination problems were found, but DEP may still be looking at that site. The limousine
use is under appeal, but when it was there, he stressed it was the only use that was not a
non -conforming use on that entire street. Every other use up there is a non -conforming use,
including Mrs. Gates' mobile home park and other mobile homes there. He believes that
37
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
limousine use is an allowed use in an OCR district. He added that he regularly signs home
occupation permits for a limousine use. It is an allowable use. A limousine can be kept in
a driveway in a single-family residential district.
Director Keating spoke at length about characteristics in code enforcement. He also
spoke about replacement of mobile homes and the decision on replacement of a particular
mobile home on the Jordan property.
Environmental Planning & Code Enforcement Chief Roland M. DeBlois interjected
that a related letter is in the backup and noted that a copy was sent to Robert Gates in 1994.
Thus a notification was sent to an interested property owner in that instance. Mr. DeBlois
stated it is impossible to notify surrounding property owners in every code enforcement
action. They do try to keep interested complainants informed.
Chairman Eggert asked if any notice is sent when a case goes before the Code
Enforcement Board, and Mr. DeBlois stated it is not like a rezoning, but, code enforcement
officers are in touch with complainants daily. In most cases, the people involved want to
know what is happening.
Director Keating resumed by pointing out that in many cases two parties are involved,
a complainant and a respondent. It happens regularly that complainants generally are
unhappy that not enough is being done and the respondents are unhappy because too much
is being done. He stated they are not perfect, but overall thought staff has done pretty well
with this site and gotten almost all the junk, trash, and debris taken care of, gotten some of
the illegal uses taken care of, like the U -Haul; and made logical, rational decisions
interpreting the Code. He was unsure why the Releaf Trees illegal use was allowed to occur.
Mr. DeBlois stated that his remarks are contained in the above memorandum. He felt
that they have been responsive and problems have been resolved within the required
guidelines.
Commissioner Ginn stated she was not taking anyone's side in this matter, just wanted
to get to the truth and make sure people are treated fairly and equitably. She visited the site
yesterday and stated that it looks pretty good now. It seemed that Mr. Jordan has had a poor
choice of renters. She also felt that grandfathering should have been denied if there was an
interruption in usage.
Director Keating agreed, adding that if it is a non -conforming use and it ceases
operation for more than a year, then it cannot be re-established legally.
Chairman Eggert found it most frustrating that all this came up in 1991, staff came
38
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
� � r
up with all the reasons it was a non -conforming use and should not be grandfathered, and yet
the Code Enforcement Board said, partially based on the petition she guessed, that staff was
wrong. Unfortunately we are stuck with that decision and have to go on from there.
Mrs. Gates believed that most of the people signed the petition brought to them by
Mr. Conde without even reading it. They were told it was to support Mr. Jordan's clean-up
efforts. She had them sign a new petition stating that they resented the way the petition was
used by the Code Enforcement Board and they all signed it. Most were willing to sign her
petition without reading it. If Code Enforcement needed any new evidence, they could have
asked anyone who lived on the street. Also an environmental health officer had checked the
property and could have added his testimony in the case. Also, the FP&L bill was only for
5 months and the code had changed regarding non -conformity.
Chairman Eggert agreed that these things might have helped, but nevertheless the
decision was made and the case cannot be reheard. She also pointed out that the Code
Enforcement Board is not pro -active and their decision would have had to have been
appealed from outside.
Commissioner Adams felt they were in a very precarious situation and saw no remedy
that the Board of County Commissioners could give Mrs. Gates. It is a matter of record. As
aggravating as the situation was, and as sympathetic as she was to the issue, and since they
have no control over the Code Enforcement Board, she thought it would have be to carried
through into the process. She asked County Attorney Vitunac if there was anything they
could do.
Mrs. Gates informed the Board that she was not an attorney and unable to respond
to points of law, but she did have her attorney (Samuel A. Block) with her.
County Attorney Vitunac suggested that her attorney meet with his office so they can
go over it and if there is something that can be done, they will do it.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED
BY Commissioner Ginn to have County Attorney Vitunac meet
with Mrs. Gates' attorney to determine what can be done.
Chairman Eggert pointed out that the request (recommendation) is to uphold the
interpretation that staff has made and can be subject to the conversation between Mr. Block
and County Attorney Vitunac.
39
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
MOTION WAS AMENDED by the maker, SECONDED by the
seconder, to uphold the interpretation that staff has made,
subject to the conversation between Mrs. Gates' attorney and
the County Attorney.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and it carried
unanimously.

H.E. EXCESS INSURANCE PROGRAM
The Board reviewed a Memorandum dated September 17, 1997:
TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator
THRU: Joseph Baird, OMB Director
FROM: Beth Jordan, Risk Manager
DATE: 17 September 1997
SUBJECT: Request for Agenda; Excess Insurance Program
Please consider this item for the Board of County Commissioners' September 23, 1997,
agenda.
Background
In 1988, the County utilized the services of Siver Insurance Management Consultants to
develop its modified self-insurance program for property, liability, workers' compensation,
and third party claims administration. As part of the original program design, Siver
recommended the excess insurance coverages and affiliated services be re -bid every
three to five years, depending upon satisfaction with the incumbent carrier(s), market
conditions, etc. to make certain the County obtained the best coverages at the best costs.
Following that advice, the County remarketed the program in 1992 and the resulting
41
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
BOC , l u"" PnE l�
program has been in effect until the present Several months ago, following a request for
proposals for consultant services, Waters Risk Management (Waters) was selected as the
consultant to lead the current effort to remarket the program.
Analysis
Several factors have combined to produce a positive result for the County. The proposal
Mich is being submitted by Waters and staff results in an annual premium savings of over
$200,000.00. The market conditions are favorable and the County's experience as a self-
insured public entity has been positive. In the attached analysis, Waters presents details
Mich have resulted in the recommendation which is being made.
Recommendation
Staff concurs with the recommendations made by Waters Risk Management While most
of the coverage remains with the Florida League of Cities, some lines have been changed
to reflect more competitive coverages. Staff concurs with the purchase recommendations
as attached, with an annual cost of $432,053.00, or an annual savings of $240,149.00.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved the
Recommendation as set forth in the Memorandum above.

SUBJECT: Request for County to C ert Sebastian River Water Control District
R14E Canal Beneath 6e Avenue
REF. LETTER: Samuel Block to Jim Davis dated Sept. 9, 1997
DATE: September 16, 1997
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Sebastian River Water Control District has designed a new easttwest canal near 77th Street
(Hobart Road) to improve drainage in the north county area. The design includes a 30° diameter
culvert to be placed beneath W Avenue, a county road. Since the District's canal system was
platted May, 1928, which precedes the W Avenue road right of way, the District is requesting the
county to fumish and install the culvert.
43
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
boCAK .':� F,1Lc U , 0
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The cost of the drainage culvert is estimated as follows:
90 LF 30" RCP @ $40/If $ 3,600
Endwalls $ 8,000
Guardrail 5,000
$16,600'
Staff has indicated to the Drainage District Administrator that we prefer that the county purchase
the pipe and the installation be bid as a separate bid item with the canal project. The county
would agree to pay the cost of installation.
The alternatives presented are:
Alternative No. 1
Agree to fund the culvert cost of $16,600 as outlined above.
Alternative No. 2
Deny the request for the County to furnish and install the culvert
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends Alternative No. 1 whereby the County agrees to fund $16,600 to furnish and
install a 30" culvert beneath W Avenue. Funding to be from the Local Option Sales Tax
Program. FY98/99 - $1,100,000 for drainage improvements.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED
BY Commissioner Macht , to approve Alternative No. 1, to fund
the culvert cost of $16,600 as outlined above, as recommended
in the Memorandum.
Under discussion, Commissioner Macht asked why the County is required to pay for
this, and Public Works Director James Davis explained that it was due to the fact that the
Sebastian Water Control District was established (1927) prior to the road right-of-way being
established. So, they came first, we constructed the road over their right-of-way, and they
are asking us to culvert it.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and it carried
unanimously.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. IIS -90 -20 -DC
BACKGROUND
On May 20, 1997, the Board of County Commissioners awarded the
contract for the above -referenced project to Wharton -Smith, Inc.,
in the amount of $8,527,000.00' The Board of County
Commissioners also approved the direct purchase and direct
payment of equipment through the contractor by providing the
issuance of a purchase order. (See attached agenda item.) The
procedure replicates methods followed by Wharton -Smith on
previous projects and has been revived and approved by
Purchasing, Legal, etc. (See attached copy of McCain memo dated
July 22, 1997 and associated material.)
ANALYSIS
The staff, through the engineer (Camp Dresser and McKee Inc.), has
obtained the list of equipment the County would like to purchase
directly from the supplier through the contractor. Attachment No.
1 is the list provided to date by the contractor for said
equipment, estimated prices, and company names of suppliers. The
estimated total cost for the, equipment to date is $1,700,000.00.'
This figure will be deducted from the Wharton -Smith contract with
the County as Change Order No. 1 resulting in a new contract amount
of $6,827,000.00: As a result of the direct purchase of equipment,
the County should save $117,000 to date.

OUTSIDE CONTRACT INSPECTION SERVICES
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. US -90 -20 -DC
BACKGROUND
On September 20, 1994, the Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners approved an agreement with the project engineer,
Camp Dresser and McKee Inc., for engineering services associated
with design, permitting, construction administration, and part-
time resident inspection for the above-mentioned project. (See
attached Sheet C5-2, Project Budget, South County WWTP General
Services During Construction, Task 550 and agenda item.)
ANALYSIS
The engineer, per agreement with the County, will provide field
staff for resident inspection for a total of 1,420 hours (or 25
hours per week for 14 months) during construction. They will cover
all critical points of the construction. The County then will fill
in during unattended hours with an outside part-time resident
inspector. At this time, staff proposes hiring a contract
inspector at $22.00/hour with no benefits for the twelve-month
period with a work schedule of 15 hours per week. (An additional
outside inspector is not needed for the first two months.) The
cost for this contract inspector would be $17,160.00. This will
save the County over $60,000.00 (compared to 910 manpower hours at
approximately $85.00/hour if through the CDM agreement). Payment
for the additional outside contract insector will be paid through
the current County bond issue. The staff intends to utilize the
same contract inspector who is currently working on the North
County Reverse Osmosis construction project.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed expenditure to
utilize its current contract inspector for the service outlined
above.
46
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
In response to Commissioner Ginn's inquiry, Public Works Director James Davis gave
assurances that the County has been pleased with the inspector's work on the North County
construction project.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved the
proposed expenditure to utilize the Department of Utility
Services contract inspector for the services outlined in the
Memorandum, as recommended in the Memorandum.

COMMITTEES: Environmental Protection, Chair - Law Enforcement & Public Safety - Transportation and
Economic Development (Fiscal)
Chairman Eggert briefly reviewed the information on the date, time, and location of
the meeting. She summarized the revisions the Board has spoken about and advised that
County Attorney Vitunac would be submitting resolutions at next week's Board meeting for
their consideration and adoption on the following concerns:
1) Unfunded mandates;
2) Partial year assessments;
3) Local government control of public rights-of-way;
4) Preservation 2000;
5) Give non -charter counties right to petition initiatives;
6) Article V funding;
7) Continue on the amendment of the clamming leases.
Commissioner Adams suggested a Special Act of 1959 may need to be revamped. It
concerns the ability of the hospital to place a claim of lien against a patient prior to receiving
services. She will review it with County Attorney Vitunac to determine what, if anything,
should be done.
Chairman Eggert wondered whether any action needed to be taken with respect to two
parks in North County, and Commissioner Adams saw that matter to be more administrative,
not legislative.
r,;
SEPTEMBER 23, 1997
Commissioner Ginn had concerns about "quasi judicial" hearings, which allow for
no interaction between Commissioners and the citizens. She felt they should be able to
discuss these matters with the citizenry.
Chairman Eggert thought the reason was so all Board members hear everything at the
same time.
Commissioner Macht advised a form of relief was offered, and Commissioner Adams
stated they can just sign a paper divulging who they talked with and what they talked about.
County Attorney Vitunac later advised that the Board had not adopted this procedure.
County Attorney Vitunac explained the latest court decision is you may talk with
anybody about any Comprehensive Plan change, even a small scale one. Presently, it is just
rezoning, site plan issues, and special exception uses they cannot discuss.
Chairman Eggert suggested they think in terms of anything that might be appealed in
front of the Planning & Zoning Board.
There was CONSENSUS they did not agree it was good they could not speak with
the citizens regarding other matters. They agreed that they might as well put this in one more
time.
13.A _GIFTS & GRATUITIES (ETHICS ORDINANCE I - PLAYOFF TICKETS
DODGERS VS MARLIN
Commissioner Tippin advised that a letter had been received from the Dodger
organization to determine in advance whether the Board would accept tickets to a Dodgers
vs Marlins divisional playoff game should the Dodgers make the playoffs. He believed it
would be beneficial for Vero Beach people to go to the game to show support for the
Dodgers.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, SECONDED
BY Chairman Eggert to accept the invitation, should it come, as
a special exception to the Ethics Ordinance.
County Attorney Vitunac suggested that it would be possible if the Board considered
the attendance a "ceremonial gesture" which is provided for in the ordinance.

DISTRICT FOR AIRB0AT TOUR OF UPPER ST JOHN'S BASIN PROJECT
Commissioner Ginn advised of an invitation to the Board of County Commissioners
and Press to tour by airboat the Upper St. John's Basin Project. She felt it was a grand
opportunity.
Chairman Eggert and Commissioners Adams Tippin indicated that they had already
toured this area but expected that a lot more work had been done.
CONSENSUS was reached to have Commissioner Ginn set up the tour.
13.E. CHILDREN'S SERVICES NETWORK UPDATE
Commissioner Macht reported that all is going well. The community needs
assessment committee is progressing under the chairmanship of Dr. Roger Dearing. They
are taking a comprehensive approach and are very well organized. He anticipated that the
assessment would end up costing only about $300-$400 for materials and expenses and that
they would be seeing it within the next few weeks. He complimented the Board on their
appointees and especially Commissioner Ginn on her appointment of Mrs. Gaines to the
Network.
14,B. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT
