The Board reviewed a Memorandum of April 22, 1998:
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: 41c," William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney
DATE: April 22, 1998
SUBJECT: Release and Substitution of Drainage Easement
On September 25, 1997 the Planning and Zoning Commission approved a site
plan for Glendale Trade Center, Inc., mini -storage facility. It was a condition of
the site -plan approval to relocate a drainage facility that ran along the eastern
portion of the site by the FEC Railroad tracks to the western portion of the site,
approximately midway between the FEC Railroad and Old Dixie Highway.
A•pri128, 1998
20
In November of 1997, the County terminated the easement along the FEC
Railroad tracks by General Release and received grants of new easements in
the preferred location, from Knight and Mathis, Inc. and Glendale Trade Center,
Inc. The new easements are recorded at O. R. Book 1179, Page 2936 and O. R.
Book 1179, Page 2938, Public Records of Indian River County.
While the relocated easement ran in an approximately north -south direction, the
southerly 175 feet of the 48 -inch concrete drainage pipe actually installed per
permitting agency requirements veers approximately 8 degrees to the east over
the southerly 175 feet of the easement.
Representatives of Glendale Trade Center, Inc. and the Indian River County
Public Works Department have requested that the southerly 175 feet of the
relocated easement be modified to reflect the actual placement of the pipe.
RECOMMENDATION:

The referenced 1984 industrial development revenue bonds were completely
paid in October of 1997 according to the attached letter from Barnett Bank.
Since the County was the original issuer of the bonds for which the mortgage
serves as collateral, the attorney for the successor trustee (the Bank of New
York) is requesting that the County execute a satisfaction.
Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the Board approve the request
and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached document on its behalf.

Re: Indian River County, $2.500,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bond
Series 1984 (Hetra Project)
Dear Charles:
We represent the Bank of New York, the Successor Trustee on the Indian River
County, $2,500,000 Industrial Development Bond Series 1984 (Hetra Project). The Bond
was 100% owned by Barnett Bank, Enclosed is a letter from Barnett stating that the
Bond has been paid. Accordingly, it is necessary to prepare, execute and record a
Satisfaction of Mortgage.
The Mortgage originally ran to Indian River County and was assigned to the
Trustee. However, the Mortgage secures all amounts due under the Loan Agreement —
that includes, for example, any amounts due to the Issuer pursuant to its rights of
indemnification. Thus, since the Mortgage secures obligations to tht Issuer, it is
necessary to have the Issuer join in the Satisfaction of Mortgage.
Would you please have the Issuer execute the enclosed Satisfaction and return to
me as soon as possfble.
I am simultaneously forwarding to the Bank of New York a copy of [his same
Satisfaction for its execution.
Please give me a call if you have any questions in connection with the foregoing.
Sincerely,
Ralph' Wickersham

7X Release & Substitudon of Utility Easement - Michael A. &
Angela M. Dees (Strnad�
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of April 22, 1998:
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: William G. Collins II - Deputy County Attorney
DATE: April 22, 1998
SUBJECT: Release of Utility Easement and Substitution of New Utility
Easement
In 1988 Jerald E. Stmad and Jane M. Stmad, his wife, and Condor
Management, Inc., tenants in common, of property in Sebastian lying between
U.S. 1 and the FEC Railroad made a grant of a utility easement 20 feet in width
over the most westerly portion of a property adjacent to the FEC Railroad.
I have recently been contacted by James Taylor, Esq. who is representing
purchasers from the Stmad estate. He has discovered that the easement
described in 1988 easement was in fact not the westerly most 20 feet adjacent to
the FEC Railroad.
A 12 -inch force main has been constructed on the westerly portion of the
property approximately 6'2" from the FEC right-of-way at the south end of the
property and 7'3" from the FEC Railroad right-of-way at the north end of the
property.
Mr. Taylor proposes to release the mislocated easement which is easterly of
where it was actually intended to be, and substitute a new grant of easement

from his clients for the 20 feet immediately adjacent to the FEC right-of-way
where the existing force main is located. The Utility Department surveyor, as
well as the original surveyor for the 1988 deed has concurred that the
description was in error and should be corrected.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the Chairman to execute the attached Release and Discharge
of that easement dated November 18, 1988 and recorded in O.R. Book
837 at Page 1455, Public Records of Indian River County.
2. �„ Accept a grant of easement from Michael A. Dees and Angela M. Dees for
the corrective easement in substantially the form attached in the following
exhibit, upon execution.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously authorized the
Chairman to execute the Release and Discharge of that easement
dated November 18, 1988, OR 837 Pg 1455, Public Records of
Indian .River County; and accept a grant of easement from
Michael A. Dees and Angela M. Dees for the corrective
easement in substantially the form attached in the backup, upon

Sandy Shields, Planning & Research Unit of Sheriff's Office, described how this
program had been started in December 1997 when the Board accepted the 1997 Block Grant
monies, totaling $89,249. One of the conditions of the grant is to conduct a public hearing
at which time the plan for use of the funds is presented. That is the purpose of today's
agenda item.
Ms. Shields explained that in 1996 the Sheriff's Office began a pilot project of
bringing mobile computing to field officers. Another grant was used to fund the
infrastructure necessary. This $89,249 will be used to actually put 10 mobile computing
units into the vehicles of the field training officers. When accomplished, information and
technology will be readily available to officers in the field. This project is planned to
progress over the next 2-3 years as funding allows and as additional Block Grant money is
sought. Various new applications will be added during that period, such as silent
dispatching, records' data bases, mug shots, warrants and so forth, which will be accessible
by the officer in the field.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in
this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Ginn, the Boardunanimously accepted the report
as satisfaction of the administrative requirements of the special
conditions of the 1997 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant.

DATE: April 22, 1998
SUBJECT: Gary Rhinehart's Request for an Abandonment of a Portion of I I' Lane S.E. and a
Portion of 121 Street S.E.
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of April 28, 1998.
Gary Rhinehart has submitted a petition for the abandonment of the south 10' of 11* Lane S.E. and
the north 10' of 12' Street S.E. adjacent to Tract A of River Shores Estates Unit 1. The subject
rights-of-way run the length of Tract A between US 1 and 1' Street S.E. (see attachment #3).
The applicant is requesting the abandonment of the two segments of right-of-way to enlarge the
buildable area of Tract A, a commercially zoned site. If abandoned, the two 10' wide segments of
right-of-way will be added to the site, increasing the north/south dimension of Tract A by a total of
20'. Abandonment of the right-of-way portions would facilitate redevelopment of the site which
currently contains various non -conformities and has a fairly limited existing north/south dimension.
The Board is now to consider and approve, approve with conditions, or deny the abandonment
request.
ANALYSIS:
The subject right-of-way segments for l I' Lane S.E. and 12" Street S.E. were both created via the
River Shores Estates Unit 1 plat as 70' wide road rights-of-way. Both roadways are classified as
local roadways. As local roadways, only 60' of right-of-way is required to satisfy the county's
current minimum right-of-way width standards. Therefore, the right-of-way portions proposed for
abandonment are not needed to satisfy minimum local road right-of-way standards.
In coordination with planning staff, the applicant has proposed a site plan to redevelop Tract A of
River Shores Estates in a manner that utilizes the existing building and eliminates all other non -
conformities on the site. However, the redevelopment site plan is predicated upon the additional lot
area that would be conveyed to the applicant if the subject right-of-way abandonment petition is
approved by the Board.
Tract A is a relatively narrow parcel (north/south dimension) with site related non -conformities that
have deterred previous endeavors to redevelop the site. These non -conformities involve the existing
building, parking, site access, and stormwater system. With the exception of the building setback
encroachment along US 1, all non -conformities on the site are no longer deemed legal
(grandfathered) non -conformities, because the site has been abandoned for a continuous period of
more than one year. If the subject petition is granted by the Board, Tract A will gain an additional
20' of usable area for redevelopment of the site in a manner that retains the minimum right-of-way
width and that better accommodates redevelopment of the site consistent with current LDR
standards. The location and orientation of the building and the limited north/south buildable area
on Tract A are obstacles to redevelopment of Tract A that would be more manageable with the
abandonment of the right-of-way. In addition, granting the request will not affect continued use of
the roads. Therefore, planning staff supports the applicant's petition.
April 28, 1998

_I
•
Although the county does not desire to use the right-of-way portions requested for abandonment for
road building purposes, the portions could still be used for future drainage and utility purposes.
Therefore, the county engineering division is recommending that a drainage and utility easement be
retained over the entire area of the abandoned right-of-way. For that reason, the Resolution of
Abandonment expressly reserves a drainage and utility easement over the to -be -abandoned portions.
The proposed easement is worded to allow driveways to be constructed in the abandonment
portions.
Per guidelines established by the Board, this petition was reviewed by all county divisions and utility
providers having jurisdiction or potential interests within the right-of-way. All reviewing agencies
and departments have recommended approval of the requested abandonment, with the condition that
an easement for utilities and drainage be reserved over the abandoned portions. Furthermore, the
abandonment would not affect the right of convenient access to surrounding properties because no
roads will be closed and no existing roads will be constrained. Also, the County Attorney's Office
has reviewed and approved the attached abandonment resolution for legal form and sufficiency.
Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
abandon its rights to the subject right-of-way portions and authorize the chairman to execute the
attached abandonment resolution, with the following condition:
1. That the south 10' of I l' Lane S.E. and the north 10' of 121 Street S.E. right-of-way be
reserved as drainage and utility easements, with the allowance for driveway connection
across each right-of-way area.

Resolution 98-047 which provides for the closing,
abandonment, vacation, and discontinuance of those portions of
11t` Lane SE and 12s` Street SE adjacent to Tract A, RIVER

Community Development Director Bob Keating gave general background information
on the two Comprehensive Plan amendments that were before the Board at today's meeting.
(9.A.3 & 9.A.4.) He explained that there were originally three submitted in the "January
window", however, the Rodriguez amendment, which was denied by the Planning & Zoning
Commission, had been withdrawn, but may be resubmitted at a later date. He reminded them
that the issue today is whether or not to transmit the proposed amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan to the Department of Community Affairs. The associated rezoning
would not take place at this time. Final action on the rezoning will have to wait until final
action on the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Mr. Keating then reviewed a Memorandum of April 20, 1998 with the aid of a Land
Use Map (see below) and aerial of the subject area which were projected on the ELMO:

RE: Scott Perry's Request to Amend the Comprehensive Plan to Redesignate
Approximately 2.1 acres from M-2 to C/I and to Rezone that 2.1 acres from,
RM -10 to CG.
PLAN AMENDMENT NUMBER: LUDA 98-01-0177
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 28, 1998.
This is a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan and rezone approximately 2. 10 acres, located
at the southeast corner of 45`h Street and 24' Avenue, and continuing south along 24h Avenue for
approximately 500 feet. The request involves changing the land use designation from M-2, Medium -
Density Residential - 2 (up to 10 units/acre), to C/I, Commercial/Industrial, and rezoning the
property from RM -10, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 10 units/acre), to CG, General
Commercial, zoning district.

On March 26, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend that the Board
of County Commissioners transmit the proposed land use amendment to the State Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) for their review.
Currently, the subject property is vacant land. To the west of the subject property are single-family
homes, which are zoned RM -10, Multiple -Family Residential (up to 10 units/acre). To the south of
the subject property is vacant land, which is zoned RM -10. Further to the south are neighborhood
grocery stores, which are in a CL, Limited Commercial, zoning district. To the east of the subject
property, across the railway tracks and Old Dixie Highway, are agricultural packing houses, which
are in a CH, Heavy Commercial, zoning district. To the north of the subject property, across 45`'
Street is a gas station and convenience store, which are in a CG, General Commercial, zoning
district.
The subject property and properties to the west and south are designated M-2, Medium -Density
Residential -2, on the county future land use map. The M-2 designation permits residential densities
up to 10 units/acre. Properties to the east and north of the subject property are designated C/I, a
designation that permits commercial and industrial zoning districts.
The subject property is not designated as environmentally important nor environmentally sensitive
by the Comprehensive Plan. No wetlands nor native upland plant communities exist on site. The
subject property is not within a 100 -year floodplain.
The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Centralized potable water service is
available to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Wastewater service is available
to the site from the Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Abutting the subject area on the north is 450' Street. Classified as an urban collector roadway on the
future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of 45th Street is a two-lane road with
approximately 30 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements are scheduled for the portion
of 45`h Street that abuts the subject area.
The site is bounded on the west by 20 Avenue right-of-way. While platted as a local road, 24'
Avenue is unimproved, and there are no plans to improve the roadway.
Along the east boundary of the subject property is the Florida East Coast (FEC) railway line.
In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the land use amendment request will be
presented. Specifically, this analysis will address:
• concurrency of public facilities;
• consistency with the county's Comprehensive Plan;
• compatibility with the surrounding area; and
• potential impact on environmental quality.

n ra lj, 'l. . t�� !,
This site is located within the county Urban Service Area, an area deemed suited for urban scale
development. The Comprehensive Plan establishes minimum development standards for.
Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage and Recreation (Future Land Use
Policy 3.1). The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality
of life enjoyed by the community. The Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations
(LDRs) require that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum acceptable standards
for these services and facilities are maintained.'
Policy 3.2 of the Future Land Use Element states that no development shall be approved unless it
is consistent with the concurrency management system component of the Capital Improvements
Element. For Comprehensive Plan amendment requests, conditional concurrency review is required.
Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a
proposed project. Since Comprehensive Plan amendment requests are not projects, county
regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject
property based upon the requested zoning. For commercial/industrial Comprehensive Plan
amendment requests, the most intense use (according to the county's Land Development
Regulations) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre of land
proposed for redesignation.
The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows:
1. Size of Area to be Redesignated:
2. Existing Land Use Designation:
3. Proposed Land Use Designation:
4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property
under Current Land Use Designation:
f2.1 acres
M-2, Medium -Density Residential - 2 (up to 10
units/acre)
CA, Commercial/Industrial
21 Single -Family Units
5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property
under Proposed Land Use Designation: 21,000 sq. ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping
Center in the 5`h Edition ITE Manual).
► Transportation
A review of the traffic impacts that would result from the development of the property indicates that
the existing level of service "D" or better on 45'b Street and other impacted roads would not be
lowered. The site information used for determining traffic impacts is shown in table 1.

The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject
property under the existing land use designation is 212. This was determined by multiplying the 21
units (most intense use) by ITE's single-family residential factor of 10.1 Average Daily Trip
Ends/unit.
The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject
property under the proposed land use designation is 2,498. This was determined by multiplying the
21,000 square feet of shopping center use (most intense use) by ITE's shopping center fitted curve
factor of 119 Average Daily Trip Ends/1,000 square feet.
Since the county's transportation level of service is based on peak hour/peak season/peak direction
characteristics, the transportation concurrency analysis addresses project traffic occurring in the peak
hour and affecting the peak direction of impacted roadways. According to ITE, the proposed use
generates more volume in the p.m. peak hour than in the a.m. peak hour. Therefore, the p.m. peak
hour was used in the transportation concurrency analysis. The peak direction during the p.m. peak
hour on 45'h Street is westbound
Given those conditions, the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be
generated by the most intense use of the subject property under the existing land use designation was
calculated to be 7. This was determined by multiplying the total number of units allowed (2 1) under
the existing land use designation by ITE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit, to determine the
total number of trips generated Of these trips, 65% will be inbound and 35% will be outbound. Of
the inbound trips, 50% or 7 will be westbound
April 28, 1998

To determine the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by
the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed land use designation, the total square
footage of shopping center allowed under the proposed amendment (21,000) was multiplied by ITE's
factor of 10.87 p.m. peak hour trips/1,000 square feet to determine the total number of trips
generated (228). Of these trips, 49% or 110 trips are new trips, which are due to the proposed land
use designation. From the new trips, 48% (53) will be inbound and 52% (57) will be outbound. Of
the inbound trips, 65% or 34 trips will originate from the east of the subject property. Therefore, the
most intense use of the subject property under the proposed land use designation would generate 27
(34 - 7 = 27) more peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips than the 7 that would be generated by
the most intense use of the subject property under the existing land use designation.
Using a modified gravity model and a hand assignment, the peak hour/peak season/peak direction
trips generated by the proposed use were then assigned to impacted roads on the network. Impacted
roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the county's LDRs as roadway segments which receive
five percent (5%) or more of the project traffic or fifty (50) or more of the project trips, whichever
is less.
Capacities for all roadway segments in Indian River County are calculated and updated annually,
utilizing the latest and best available peak season traffic characteristics and applying Appendix G
methodology as set forth in the Florida Department of Transportation Level of Service Manual.
Available capacity is the total capacity less existing and committed (vested) traffic volumes; this is
updated daily based upon vesting associated with project approvals.
The traffic capacity for the segment of 45`h Street adjacent to this site is 760 trips (peak hour/peak
season/peak direction) at Level of Service (LOS) "D," while the Total Segment Demand (existing
traffic volume + vested traffic volume) on this segment of 45th Street is 352 trips (peak hour/peak
season/peak direction). The additional 34 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips created by the
most intense use of the subject property under the proposed amendment would increase the Total
Segment Demand peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips for this segment of 451h Street to
approximately 386.
Based on the above analysis, staff determined that 45`h Street and all other impacted roads can
accommodate the additional trips without decreasing their existing levels of service.
As part of the concurrency review process, the applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Analysis
(TTA). The county's Traffic Engineering Division has reviewed and approved that TIA. Information
from the applicant's TIA is displayed in table 2. This table identifies each of the impacted roadway
segments associated with the proposed land use designation. As indicated in table 2, sufficient
capacity is available in all of the segments to accommodate the projected traffic associated with the
request.

Water
A retail commercial use of 21,000 square feet on the subject property will have a water consumption
rate of 6.3 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 1,575 gallons/day. This is based upon a level -of -
service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. Water lines extend to the site from the South County
Reverse Osmosis Plant which currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 1,518,338
gallons/day and therefore can accommodate the potable water demand associated with the proposed
amendment.
P. Wastewater
The subject property is serviced by the Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Based upon
the most intense use allowed under the proposed amendment, development of the property will have
a wastewater generation rate of 6.3 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 1,575 gallons/day. This
is based upon the level -of -service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day. The Central Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 364,233
gallons/day and can accommodate the additional wastewater generated by the proposed amendment.
01 Solid Waste
Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. For a
21,000 square foot commercial development on the subject site, solid waste generation will be
approximately 105 waste generation units (WGU) annually. A WGU is a Waste Generation Unit
Measurement equivalent to one ton (2,000 pounds) of solid waste. Using the accepted conversion
rate of one cubic yard for every 1,200 pounds of compacted solid waste generated, the 21,000 square
feet of commercial development would be expected to generate 175 cubic yards of wastelyear.
A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the
availability of 840,214 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a two-year capacity, and
the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on the analysis, staff determined that the
county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed
land use designation.
Drainage
All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations which require
on-site retention, preservation of floodplain storage, and minimum finished floor elevations. In
addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county Stormwater-
Management Ordinance. The site is located within the R-4 Drainage Basin.
In this case, the minimum floor elevation level -of -service standards do not apply, since the property
does not he within a floodplain. However, both the on-site retention and discharge standards apply.
With the most intense use of this site under the proposed amendment, the maximum area of
impervious surface would be approximately 36,590 square feet, or 0.84 acres. The maximum runoff
volume, based on that amount of impervious surface and the 25 year/24 hour design storm would
be approximately 49,169 cubic feet. In order to maintain the county's adopted level -of -service, the
applicant would be required to retain approximately 19,225 cubic feet of runoff on-site. With the
soil characteristics of the subject property, the estimated pre -development runoff rate is 6.69 cubic
feettsecond.
Based upon staffs analysis, the drainage level -of -service standards will be met by requiring retention
of the 19,225 cubic feet of runoff for the most intense use of the property. As with all development,
a more detailed review will be conducted during the development approval process.

► Recreation
Recreation concurrency requirements apply only to residential development. Therefore, this
Comprehensive Plan amendment/rezoning request would not be required to satisfy recreation
concurrency requirements.
Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities,
including drainage, roads, solid waste, wastewater, and water have adequate capacity to
accommodate the most intense use of the subject property under the proposed land use designation.
Therefore, the concurrency test has been satisfied for the subject request.
Comprehensive Plan amendment requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. As per section 800.07(1) of the County Code, the "Comprehensive Plan may
only be amended in such a way as to preserve the internal consistency of the plan pursuant to Section
163.3177(2)F.S:." Amendments must also show consistency with the overall designation of land
uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which includes agricultural, residential, recreational,
conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities.
The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the Comprehensive Plan. Policies
are statements in the plan that identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the
community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the
basis for all county land development decisions. While all Comprehensive Plan policies are
important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing plan amendment requests. Of
particular applicability for this request are the following objectives and policies:
Future Land Use Policy 14.3
The most important policy to consider in evaluating a plan amendment request for consistency with
the county's Comprehensive Plan is Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3. This policy requires that
one of four criteria be met in order to approve a land use amendment request. These criteria are:
• a mistake in the approved plan;
• an oversight in the approved plan;
• a substantial change in circumstances affecting the subject property, or
• a swap or a reconfiguration of land uses at separate sites.
Staffs position is that this land use amendment request does meet the first and second criteria of
policy 14.3.
When the Comprehensive Plan was approved on February 13, 1990, the plan assigned a medium -
density residential land use designation to the subject property. This was an oversight of that plan.
At the time of plan adoption, the subject area was part of Hillcrest Subdivision, and the property was
platted into five separate lots along 20 Avenue. Being part of that residential subdivision, it was
anticipated that the land would be developed for residential uses. To date, 2e Avenue has not been
constructed and the subject area remains vacant of residential uses. The proximity of the FEC
railway as well as the agricultural packing houses, which are in a CH, Heavy Commercial, zoning
district, have precluded residential development of the subject area
Throughout the county, much of the land adjacent to the FEC railway has a commercial/industrial
land use designation. The sound and vibration of a train in motion are less intrusive on commercial
or industrial uses than on residential uses. In some cases, commercial/industrial uses can even act
as a buffer between residential uses and the railway. Therefore, staff's position is that the residential
designation of the subject property was also a mistake of the 1990 plan. Based on the
aforementioned facts, this request meets both the first and second criteria of policy 14.3
Apri128,1998
602K
Future Land Use Policy 1.15
This policy defines the areas that are suitable for a commercial/industrial land use designation.
Suitable areas must be within the urban service area and near existing urban centers. The subject
property meets these criteria because it is within the urban service area and is near an existing urban
center. The subject property is in Gifford, an urban area that could be serviced by various
commercial/industrial uses that might locate on the subject property.
P. Future Land Use Policy 1.18
Policy 1.18 requires that commercial/industrial nodes be located along roads with functional
classifications appropriate to the level of activity. Being bordered on the north by 45' Street, an
urban collector roadway, the site will have adequate access for any commercial/industrial uses that
may locate on the subject property.
Future Land Use Objective 4
Redesignating the subject property to a commercial/industrial land use may reduce the length of
daily automobile trips on county roadways. A reduction in trip length is the purpose of objective
4 of the Future Land Use Element.
A commercial/industrial use on the subject property may eliminate the need for residents to travel
to a similar use that is located further from their home. This will reduce the length of daily
automobile trips generated by those residents and in turn will contribute to attaining objective 4 of
the Future Land Use Element.
While the referenced objectives and policies are particularly applicable to this request, other
Comprehensive Plan policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated
the subject request for consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based upon that analysis,
staff determined that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Staffs position is that a commercial/industrial land use designation and CG, General Commercial,
zoning are appropriate for the site and that such development would be compatible with surrounding
land uses. Since properties to the north and east of the subject property have the same land use
designation as is being requested for the subject property, the request is for a continuation of an
existing land use designation pattern.
With the FEC railway bordering the subject property along the east property line, the proposed
amendment would eliminate potential incompatibilities associated with small residential lots being
located adjacent to railroad tracks. Given that a train's sound and vibration are less intrusive on
commercial or industrial uses than on residential uses, a commercial/industrial land use designation
for the subject property would be more compatible with the FEC railway than the current residential
land use designation.
In certain circumstances, land that abuts railroad tracks can be designated for residential uses. Those
circumstances usually occur only with large tracts of residentially designated land. Such large tracts
have the necessary area to mitigate the effects of railroad tracks through various buffering and site
design techniques. Small tracts such as the subject property, however, have insufficient area to do
SO.
A commercial/industrial land use designation and a CG zoning district designation for the subject
property will also be compatible with the agricultural packing houses located on the east side of Old
ApAI 28, 1998
Dixie Highway. Besides acting as a buffer between the FEC railway and the existing residential
uses, CG zoning will provide a suitable transitional zoning between the RM -10 (up to 10 units/acre)
zoning district and the CH, Heavy Commercial, zoning district.
While commercial development of the subject property may affect the existing residential uses to
the west, such impacts will be minimal due to factors such as setback, buffering, and site design
requirements. In addition, the 24' Avenue right-of-way, which is approximately 30 feet, will act as
a buffer between the existing residential uses and anyfuture commercial uses.
For these reasons, commercial development of the site would be compatible with surrounding areas
and would result in a more consistent, efficient, and logical land use designation in that area of the
county.
Since the subject property contains no environmentally important land such as wetlands or sensitive
uplands, development of the site is anticipated to have little or no impact on environmental quality.
Based on the analysis, staff has determined that the requested land use designation and requested
zoning district are compatible with the surrounding area, consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and meet all applicable concurrency criteria. The subject
property is located in an area deemed suitable for commercial/industrial uses and meets all
applicable criteria
For these reasons, staff supports the request to change the site's land use designation and zoning
district.
Based on the analysis conducted, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that
the Board of County Commissioners transmit this request to DCA.

DATE: April 17.) 1998
RE: Helen Davis and Others' Request to Amend the Comprehensive Plan to
Redesignate Approximately 7.07 acres from L-2 to C/I and to Rezone that 7.07
acres from, RM4 to IL.
PLAN AMENDMENT NUMBER: LUDA 98-02-0011
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 28, 1998.
This is a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan and rezone approximately 7.07 acres, located
approximately 700 feet north of 57`h Street, between Old Dixie Highway and U.S. 1. The request
involves changing the land use designation from L-2, Low Density Residential - 2 (up to 6
units/acre), to C/I, Commerciah/Industnal, and rezoning the properties from RM -4, Multiple -Family
Residential District (up to 4 units/acre) to IL, Light Industrial, zoning district.
On March 26, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend that the Board
of County Commissioners transmit the proposed land use amendment to the State Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) for their review.
The subject properties consist of three single family homes. All three homes are oriented toward Old
Dixie Highway. Properties to the north and south of the subject area are zoned IL, Light Industrial,
and are currently being used for a marine repair yard and a storage facility, respectively. To the east
of the subject area, across U.S. 1, are single family homes, zoned RM -3. To the west of the subject
area, across Old Dixie Highway, is the Hawks Nest Golf Club, which is currently zoned RM4.
April 28, 1998
51
The subject properties and properties to the west, across Old Dixie Highway, are designated L-2,
Low Density Residential -2, on the county future land use map. The L-2 designation permits
residential densities up to 6 unitstacre. Properties to the east of the subject properties are designated
L-1, Low Density Residential -1, a designation which permits residential densities up to 3 units/acre.
Properties to the north and south of the subject area are designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial, a land
use designation which permits commercial and industrial zoning districts.
The subject properties are not designated as environmentally important nor environmentally
sensitive by the Comprehensive Plan. No wetlands nor native upland plant communities exist on
site. The subject properties are not within a 100 year floodplain.
The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Centralized potable water service is
available to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Wastewater service is not
available to the site.
Abutting the subject area on the west is Old Dixie Highway. Classified as a rural major collector
roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of Old Dixie Highway is a two-
lane road with approximately 60 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements are scheduled
for the portion of Old Dixie Highway that abuts the subject area.
The site is bounded on the east by U.S. 1. Classified as a rural principal arterial roadway on the
future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of U.S.1 is a four -lane road with approximately
70 feet of public road right-of-way. No improvements are scheduled for the portion of U.S. 1 that
abuts the subject area.
In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the land use amendment request will be
presented. Specifically, this analysis will address:
• concurrency of public facilities;
• consistency with the county's Comprehensive Plan;
• compatibility with the surrounding area; and
• potential impact on environmental quality.
This site is located within the county Urban Service Area, an area deemed suited for urban scale
development. The Comprehensive Plan establishes minimum development standards for.
Transportation, Potable Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Drainage and Recreation (Future Land Use
Policy 3.1). The adequate provision of these services is necessary to ensure the continued quality
of life enjoyed by the community. The Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations
(LDRs) require that new development be reviewed to ensure that the minimum acceptable standards
for these services and facilities are maintained.
April 28, 1998

•
Policy 3.2 of the Future Land Use Element states that no development shall be approved unless it
is consistent with the concurrency management system component of the Capital Improvements
Element. For Comprehensive Plan amendment requests, conditional concurrency review is required
Conditional concurrency review examines the available capacity of each facility with respect to a
proposed project. Since Comprehensive Plan amendment requests are not projects, county
regulations call for the concurrency review to be based upon the most intense use of the subject
property based upon the requested zoning. For commercial/industrial C;ompretiensive rlan
amendment requests, the most intense use (according to the county's Land Development
Regulations) is retail commercial with 10,000 square feet of gross floor area per acre of land
proposed for redesignation.
The site information used for the concurrency analysis is as follows:
1. Size of Area to be Redesignated:
2. Existing Land Use Designation:
3. Proposed Land Use Designation:
4. Most Intense Use of Subject Property
under Current Land Use Designation:
±7.07 acres
L-2, Low -Density Residential - 2 (up to 6
units/acre)
CA, Commercial/Industrial
42 Single -Family Units
5. Most Intense Use of Subject Property
under Proposed Land Use Designation: 70,700 sq. Ft. of Retail Commercial (Shopping
Center in the 5"' Edition ITE Manual).
► Transportation
A review of the traffic impacts that would result from the development of the properties indicate that
the existing level of service "D" or better on U.S. 1 and other impacted roads would not be lowered.
The site information used for determining traffic impacts is shown in table 1.

The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject
properties under the existing land use designation is 424. This was determined by multiplying the
42 units (most intense use) by ITE's single-family residential factor of 10.1 Average Daily Trip
Ends/unit.
The number of Average Weekday Trip Ends associated with the most intense use of the subject
properties under the proposed land use designation is 5,469. This was determined by multiplying
the 70,700 square feet of shopping center use (most intense use) by ITE's shopping center fitted
curve factor of 77 Average Daily Trip Ends/1,000 square feet.
Since the county's transportation level of service is based on peak hour/peak season/peak direction
characteristics, the transportation concurrency analysis addresses project traffic occurring in the peak
hour and affecting the peak direction of impacted roadways. According to ITE, the proposed use
generates more volume in the p.m. peak hour than in the a.m. peak hour. Therefore, the p.m. peak
hour was used in the transportation concurrency analysis. The peak direction during the p.m. peak
hour on U.S. 1 is southbound
Given those conditions, the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be
generated by the most intense use of the subject area under the existing land use designation was
calculated to be 16. This was determined by multiplying the total number of units allowed (42)
under the existing land use designation by IIE's factor of 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips/unit, to determine
the total number of trips generated Of these trips, 65% will be inbound and 35% will be outbound.
Of the inbound trips, 53% or 15 will be northbound
To determine the number of peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips that would be generated by
the most intense use of the subject area under the proposed land use designation, the total square
footage of shopping center allowed under the proposed amendment (70,700) was multiplied by ITE's
factor of 7.05 p.m. peak hour trips/1,000 square feet to determine the total number of trips generated
(498). Of these trips, 92% or 458 trips are new trips, which are due to the proposed land use
designation. From the new trips, 48% (220) will be inbound and 52% (238) will be outbound. Of
the outbound trips, 53% or 126 trips will originate from the north of the subject area Therefore, the
most intense use of the subject area under the proposed land use designation would generate 111
(126 - 15 = 111) more peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips than the 15 that would be
generated by the most intense use of the subject area under the existing land use designation.
Using a modified gravity model and a hand assignment, the peak hour/peak season/peak direction
trips generated by the proposed use were then assigned to impacted roads on the network. Impacted
roads are defined in section 910.09(4)(b)3 of the county's LDRs as roadway segments which receive
five percent (5%) or more of the project traffic or fifty (50) or more of the project trips, whichever
is less.
Capacities for all roadway segments in Indian River County are calculated and updated annually,
utilizing the latest and best available peak season traffic characteristics and applying Appendix G
methodology as set forth in the Florida Department of Transportation Level of Service Manual.
Available capacity is the total capacity less existing and committed (vested) traffic volumes; this is
updated daily based upon vesting associated with project approvals.
April 28, 1998
54
The traffic capacity for the segment of U.S. 1 adjacent to this site is 2,654 trips (peak hour/peak
season/peak direction) at Level of Service (LOS) "D," while the Total Segment Demand (existing
traffic volume + vestal traffic volume) on this segment of U.S. 1 is 1,272 trips (peak hour/peak
season/peak direction). The additional 126 peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips created by
the most intense use of the subject area under the proposed amendment would increase the Total
Segment Demand peak hour/peak season/peak direction trips for this segment of U.S. 1 to
approximately 1,398.
Based on the above analysis, staff determined that U.S. 1 and all other impacted roads can
accommodate the additional trips without decreasing their existing levels of service.
Table 2 identifies each of the impacted roadway segments associated with the proposed land use
designation. As indicated in table 2, sufficient capacity is available in all of the segments to
accommodate the projected traffic associated with the request.

► Water
A retail commercial use of 70,700 square feet on the subject area will have a water consumption rate
of 21 Equivalvent Residential Units (ERU), or 5,250 gallons/day. This is based upon a level -of -
service standard of 250 gallons/ERU/day..Water lines extend to the site from the South County
Reverse Osmosis Plant which currently has a remaining capacity of approximately 1,518,338
gallons/day and therefore can accommodate the potable water demand associated with the proposed
amendment.
Wastewater
Currently, wastewater services are not available to the subject properties. Upon an extension of the
existing wastewater services, the properties would be serviced by the Central Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant. This plant has a remaining capacity of approximately 364,233 gallons/day. Based
upon the most intense use allowed under the proposed amendment, development of the properties
will have a wastewater generation of approximately 21 Equivalent Residential Units (ERU), or 5,250
gallons/day. Therefore, the Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plan can accommodate the
additional wastewater generated by the proposed amendment.
Solid Waste
Solid waste service includes pick-up by private operators and disposal at the county landfill. For a
70,700 square foot commercial development on the subject site, solid waste generation will be
approximately 354 waste generation units (WGU) annually. A WGU is a Waste Generation Unit
Measurement equivalent to one ton (2,000 pounds) of solid waste. Using the accepted conversion
rate of one cubic yard for every 1,200 pounds of compacted solid waste generated, the 70,700 square
feet of commercial development would be expected to generate 590 cubic yards of waste/year.
A review of the solid waste capacity for the active segment of the county landfill indicates the
availability of 840,214 cubic yards. The active segment of the landfill has a two year capacity, and
the landfill has expansion capacity beyond 2010. Based on the analysis, staff determined that the
county landfill can accommodate the additional solid waste generated by the site under the proposed
land use designation.

Drainage
All developments are reviewed for compliance with county stormwater regulations which require
on-site retention, preservation of floodplain storage and minimum finished floor elevations. In
addition, development proposals must meet the discharge requirements of the county-Stormwater
Management Ordinance. The site is located within the R-5 Drainage Basin.
In this case, the minimum floor elevation level -of -service standards do not apply, since the properties
do not lie within a floodplain. However, both the on-site retention and discharge standards apply.
With the most intense use of this site under the proposed amendment, the maximum area of
impervious surface would be approximately 123,188 square feet, or 2.83 acres. The maximum
runoff volume, based on that amount of impervious surface and the 25 year/24 hour design storm
would be approximately 190,571 cubic feet. In order to maintain the county's adopted level -of -
service, the applicant would be required to retain approximately 43,855 cubic feet of runoff on-site.
With the soil characteristics of the subject properties, the estimated pre -development runoff rate is
2,302 cubic feettsecond.
Based upon staffs analysis, the drainage level -of -service standards will be met by requiring retention
of the 43,855 cubic feet of runoff for the most intense use of the property. As with all development,
a more detailed review will be conducted during the development approval process.
Recreation
Recreation concurrency requirements apply only to residential development. Therefore, this
Comprehensive Plan amendment/rezoning request would not be required to satisfy recreation
concurrency requirements.
Based upon the analysis conducted, staff has determined that all concurrency -mandated facilities,
including drainage, roads, solid waste, wastewater, and water have adequate capacity to
accommodate the most intense use of the subject properties under the proposed land use designation.
Therefore, the concurrency test has been satisfied for the subject request.
Comprehensive Plan amendment requests are reviewed for consistency with all policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. As per section 800.07(1) of the County Code, the "Comprehensive Plan may
only be amended in such a way as to preserve the internal consistency of the plan pursuant to Section
163.3177(2)F.S.." Amendments must also show consistency with the overall designation of land
uses as depicted on the Future Land Use Map, which includes agricultural, residential, recreational,
conservation, and commercial and industrial land uses and their densities.
The goals, objectives and policies are the most important parts of the Comprehensive Plan. Policies
are statements in the plan that identify the actions which the county will take in order to direct the
community's development. As courses of action committed to by the county, policies provide the
basis for all county land development decisions. While all Comprehensive Plan policies are
important, some have more applicability than others in reviewing plan amendment requests. Of
particular applicability for this request are the following objectives and policies:
Future Land Use Policy 14.3
The most important policy to consider in evaluating a plan amendment request for consistency with
the county's Comprehensive Plan is Future Land Use Element Policy 14.3. This policy requires that
one of four criteria be met in order to approve a land use amendment request. These criteria are:
April 28, 1998
59
6 02K I
pQ +(7 rr C, '-" " 0-pp
• a mistake in the approved plan;
• an oversight in the approved plan;
• a substantial change in circumstances affecting the subject property; or
• a swap or a reconfiguration of land uses at separate sites.
Staff s position is that this land use amendment does meet the second criterion of policy 14.3
When the current Comprehensive Plan was approved on February 13, 1990, the plan assigned a
residential land use designation to the subject properties. At the time of plan adoption, the existing
uses on the subject properties were single family homes. At that time, the land owners expressed
interest in retaining a residential designation on the properties. For those reasons, the subject
properties were not designated for commercial/industrial uses and not included in the
commercial/industrial node.
While the existing use of the properties is single family residential, the location of the subject
properties between Old Dixie Highway and U.S., 1, as well as the character of the surrounding uses,
indicates that these properties should have been designated for commerciaUmdustrial uses when the
plan was originally adopted. The residential designation of the subject properties was an oversight
of the approved plan; therefore, this request meets the second criterion of policy 14.3.
Future Land Use Policy 1.15
This policy defines the areas that are suitable for a commercial/industrial land use designation.
Suitable areas must be within the urban service area and near existing urban centers. The subject
properties are within the urban service area and are near existing urban centers. Both Gifford and
Grand Harbor are existing urban centers that are near the subject properties and could be serviced
by various commercial/industrial uses that might locate on the subject properties.
Future Land Use Policy 1.18
Policy 1.18 requires that commercial industrial nodes be located along roads with functional
classifications appropriate to the level of activity. Being bordered on the east by U.S. 1, a rural
principal arterial roadway, and on the west by Old Dixie Highway, a rural major collector roadway,
the subject properties have adequate access to accomodate any commercial/industrial uses.
Additionally, both roadways are appropriate to handle traffic that may be generated by a
commercial/industrial land use.
Future Land Use Objective 4
Redesignating the subject properties to a commercial/industrial land use may reduce the length of
daily automobile trips for residents in this part of the county. A reduction in trip length is the
purpose of objective 4 of the Future Land Use Element.
A commercial/industrial use that locates in the subject area may eliminate the need for residents to
travel to a similar use that is located further from their home. This will reduce the length of daily
automobile trips generated by those residents and in turn will contribute to attaining objective 4 of
the Future Land Use Element.
While the referenced objectives and policies are particularly applicable to this request, other
comprehensive plan policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated the
subject request for consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based upon that analysis, staff
determined that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

Staffs position is that development under the proposed land use designation and zoning would be
more compatible with surrounding areas than development under current conditions. The subject
properties are part of a large strip of land between Old Dixie Highway and U.S. 1, which stretches
from CR 510 to 41a Street. Except for the subject properties, that entire stretch of land between Old
Dixie Highway and U.S. 1 has a commercial/industrial land use designation. Additionally,
properties to the north and south of the site have the same zoning as being requested for the subject
properties. Therefore, the request is for a continuation of an existing land use designation and
zoning pattern.
By eliminating that break in the commercial/mdustrial land use designation along that stretch of
land, the proposed amendment would result in a more consistent, efficient, and logical land use
designation and zoning pattern in that area of the county.
The subject properties' site characteristics suggest that a residential land use designation is not
appropriate, and the following facts support that suggestion. First, the site is narrow in size, being
only *335 feet wide. With Old Dixie Highway bordering on the west and U.S. 1 bordering on the
east, that 335 -foot width may not allow for sufficient buffering for any residential land uses to
mitigate the various effects of traffic from both roadways. Second, the proposed amendment would
eliminate potential incompatibilities between the residential uses of the subject properties and the
FEC railway, which is west of the subject area. Given that the sound and vibration of a train in
motion are less intrusive on commercial or industrial uses than on residential uses, a
commercial/mdustrial land use designation for the subject properties will be more compatible with
the FEC railway than would be a residential land use designation.
In addition, the proposed amendment would eliminate potential incompatibilities associated with
residential uses of the subject properties. Potential incompatibilities associated with residential
development on the site include noise, vibration, and traffic generated by uses permitted in an IL,
Light Industrial, zoning district. Although those impacts can be somewhat mitigated through
setbacks, buffering and site design, the fact that an IL zoning district borders the subject area both
to the north and the south indicates that incompatibilities would continue.
In contrast, the primary impacts of commercial/industnal development on the site would be on the
single-family homes to the east, across U.S. 1. In addition to the setbacks, buffering, and site design
measures previously indicated, the 70 foot separation provided by the U.S. 1 right-of-way will be
a buffer between the commercial/industrial uses and the residential uses. To the west of the subject
properties, the Hawks Nest Golf Club will be sufficiently buffered from any commercial/industrial
uses by the railway tracks and Old Dixie Highway.
For these reasons, commercial/industrial development of the site would be compatible with
surrounding areas.
Staffs position is that, since the subject properties contain no environmentally important land, such
as wetlands or sensitive uplands, development of the site is anticipated to have little or no impact
on environmental quality.

Based on the analysis, staff have determined that the requested land use designation and requested
zoning district are compatible with the surrounding area, consistent with the goals, objectives, and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and meet all applicable concurrency criteria. The subject
properties are located in an area deemed suitable for commercial industrial uses. The request meets
all applicable criteria.
For these reasons, staff supports the request to change the site's land use designation and zoning
district.
Based on the analysis conducted, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that
the Board of County Commissioners transmit this request to DCA.

Commissioner Adams inquired how many individual property owners were involved
in this request, and Director Keating advised her that there were three; all are seeking the
rezoning.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in
this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing.
Chairman Tippin wondered about the need for such extensive traffic studies with
respect to impact of rezoning a small parcel like this.

DISPATCH PROGRAM AT THE 9-1-1 COMMUNICATIONS CENTER
IMPLEMENTATION APPROVED: FUNDING AUTHORIZED: AND
SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF THE ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS OFFICIALS INSTITUTE EMD
SYSTEM SOFTWARE/FLIP CARDS AND TRAMING SUPPLIES
APPROVED
Emergency Services Director Doug Wright reviewed a Memorandum of April 15,
1998:
TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Jim Chandler, County Administrator
FROM: Doug Wright, Director of Emergency Services and `
Indian River County 9-1-1 Coordinator
DATE: April 15, 1998
SUBJECT: Approval To Implement An Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) Program at the
9-1-1 Communications Center; Funding Authorization; and Sole Source Purchase
of The Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) Institute
EMD System Software/F1ipCards and Training Supplies — BUDGET AMENDMENT 018
The 9-1-1 Communications Center has not in the past, and does not presently, have an Emergency
Medical Dispatch (EMD) program. Staff from the Department of Emergency Services and the
Sheriff's Office is proposing that the Board of County Commissioners favorably consider
establishing an EMD Program for Indian River County. Staff submits that there have been many
recent instances in which an EMD program would have been beneficial both to family members
of victims in life threatening situations and individuals willing to assist victims if the 9-1-1 Call
April 28, 1998
67
Taker or Dispatcher were trained to provide pre -arrival instructions before the paramedics and
ambulance arrived on scene.
The proliferation of 9-1-1 services, products, training and staffing has escalated, perhaps faster
and with more intensity than any other phase of public safety in the past few years. These
advances in public safety, coupled with the public's increasing awareness, have established and
created a "Level of Public Expectation" and citizens now expect professional, timely responses
to their calls for help which include medical information as to assistance which can be provided
to victims before an ambulance arrives on scene.
The main impetus leading to this recognition is the birth of the "One Nation, One Number" 9-1-1
with its primary focus on a particular function of public safety, the dispatch function. The calls
for help that come into a dispatch center have been receiving unprecedented media attention and
intense scrutiny by attorneys for victims and/or their families. In the past, attorneys used to
generally seek subpoenas only for police officers and witnesses to an incident; now they first
subpoena the 9-1-1 dispatch tape and other call information.
Staff from the two agencies is recommending emergency medical dispatching for the following
reasons:
• Decrease response time to "zero minutes" with implementation of pre -arrival
instructions. Patient care would begin as soon as a call for medical assistance is
received in the communications center. .
• Make EMD part of the "chain of patient care" and improve patient outcome
through the delivery of pre -arrival instructions.
• Improve the accuracy and appropriateness of caller interrogation.
• Reduce burnout and stress-related anxiety by improving information relayed to field
responders.
• Better management and identification of true medical emergencies through the use
of medically approved guidecards.
• Reduce multiple unit responses and the use of lights and sirens on every call,
thereby reducing the risk of emergency vehicle accidents; and the appropriate
resources would be sent in the correct manner.
Implementation of emergency medical dispatching does not require additional staffing at the
9-1-1 Communications Center. It does require that dispatchers receive 32 hours of formal
training in an approved EMD Training Course wherein they become certified by successfully
completing a written and practical examination at the end of the training course. Emergency
Medical Dispatchers and Instructors must provide proof of 24 hours of Continuing Dispatch
Education every two years to recertify (12 hours per year) which can be done in-house with group
training.
The following steps would need to be taken in order to implement Emergency Medical
Dispatching (EMD) at the 9-1-1 Communications Center:
April 28, 1998
68
1. Identify and select an EMD Medical Director and members for Continuous Quality
Improvement/Quality Assurance (CQI/QA). Notify all agencies involved with
implementation. Notify the EMD vendor of the County's intent to implement an
EMD program.
Status: The Department of Emergency Services has a Medical Director (Dr. Roger
Nicosia) under contract for advice and direction to the Emergency Medical
Services Division. If Board approval is obtained, Dr. Nicosia has agreed
to serve as the EMD Medical Director at no additional expense to the
County. The EMS Division already has in place a Quality Assurance
Program for EMS. The same Committee could be expanded and additional
9-1-1 management personnel from other agencies could be included. With
Board approval, a Committee will be appointed.
A meeting was held in Commission Chambers on March 10, 1998, for the
purpose of notifying all agencies which would be involved with
implementation. All in attendance agreed that the EMD Program should be
implemented in the County.
Staff has examined the potential vendors for EMD products and is now
requesting that the APCO Institute be approved as a sole source vendor for
the EMD Program. This recommendation is based on the ability to do in-
house on-site training locally, cost of products, user friendly products, and
overall cost.
2. Identify response configurations for the local fire and EMS system. Customize
guidecards and transmit information to the selected EMD vendor.
Status: The response configurations for Fire and EMS emergency responders
already exist and are being updated as part of the prior approved CAD
contract for the 9-1-1 system. If the sole source vendor is approved, the
APCO guidecards have already been reviewed and will need very few
revisions or changes before training can commence and implementation
processes occur.
3. Develop CQI/QA procedures for employee evaluation and ensure a continuing
education training program is established.
Status: If approved by the Board, the CQI/QA procedures can easily be established
with changes to the existing QA policies. A continuing education program
will be determined with participation by all parties involved in the EMD
Program.
4. Arrange, schedule and conduct all requisite and pre -EM training programs. Send
personnel to the EMD Instructor Training Course if training will be provided locally.
Status: Deputy EMS Chief Brian Burkeen attended the APCO Instructor Course in
March and he is certified to teach and train all dispatchers to be Emergency
Medical Dispatchers. The 9-1-1 management staff has been very
cooperative in this endeavor and has arranged for the 27 dispatchers to be
trained over a 30 day period. This training will create an overtime expense
for the total of eight days of training (8 hours a day for 4 days each class
spread over 4 weeks, including CPR). Training cannot commence until an
EMD vendor is selected and the guidecards are customized and received so
they can be used during the training course.
April 28, 1998
5. Arrange, schedule and conduct or contract for EMD training for all communications
personnel.
Status: Training will be done locally and in-house by Deputy EMS Chief Brian
Burkeen. This will negate the expense associated with sending 27
dispatchers out of town for the required 32 hours of training each must
receive. If the training is done at an APCO site the cost is $179 per
student. Done locally by Deputy Chief Burkeen, the expense is only
$50.00 per student for APCO course materials. Deputy Chief Burkeen will
also be able to provide the continuing education training for the dispatchers
each year which does not require an APCO fee.
6. Implement on line use of the Emergency Medical Dispatch Program.
Status: Given Board approval, actual implementation on line is planned for July 1,
1998.
The overtime expense information was provided by staff from the Sheriff's Office. The reason
the overtime expense is necessary is due to the fact that four 8 -hour days of training would be
required and that would be accomplished in two classes. While roughly half of the dispatchers
are in training, other dispatchers will be required to work overtime to cover for them during the
time they are away from the job.
Staff has reviewed the expenses related to the implementation of the EMD program with Budget
Director Joe Baird, and it was suggested that the source of funding for the program be from the
General Fund Contingency account.
Several EMD vendors were solicited for information so staff could review the various providers
to determine the best one for Indian River County. Information was received from the following
companies:
1. PowerPhone EMD Program: This company quoted a price of $595 for each of seven
consoles in the 9-1-1 Center, or $4,165 plus $6,300 each for two instructors for a three-
day training session. The cost would be $12,600 per session, times two sessions, for a
total cost of $25,200, for a total of $29,365 including the $4,165. If the known overtime
cost of $25,040 is added to the cost, the total for the PowerPhone EMD Program would
be $54,405.
The company would not allow the County to have rights to the program for installation in
any other computer and would not allow us to alter the flipcards to adapt them to conform
to the needs of each agency. The price of the training stated above does not include a
flipcard set for each student and did not address the recertification cost every two years.
2. Medical Priority Consultants, Incorporated: This company quoted a price of
$29,752.50 plus an expense of $225 per person for training EMD dispatchers. Since there
are 27 dispatchers who will require the training, the cost will be $6,075. The total cost
for the package would be $35,827.50. If the known overtime cost of $25,040 is added to
the cost, the total for the Medical Priority EMD program would be $ 60, 867.50.
The company did not address the expense related to recertification cost every two years.

•
3. APCO Institute Emergency Medical Dispatch Program: This company quoted a price
of $50 per person for the initial training if taught in-house by an APCO certified EMD
Instructor and $25 per person for recertification every two years. For 27 personnel the
initial training expense would be $1,350 which -includes student materials. The software
program expense was quoted at $2,499 with no limit on the number of consoles on which
it can be installed. The guidecards were quoted at a set up fee of $250 after which each
would cost $195, which can be customized for the County's use. For the seven positions,
the guidecard expense would be $250 one time cost plus $195 for seven sets for a total of
$1,615. Recertification would be an expense of $25 per person every two years which
could be done in-house.
To recap, the total initial cost for the APCO system would be 27 personnel 0 $50 or
$1,350 for student materials related to training; software expense of $2,499; guidecards
at $195 per set for seven sets plus a one time set up charge of $250 for a total of $1,615;
and a cost of $150.00 for 15 additional sets of training materials. Total cost of the APCO
Program would be $5,614. If the known overtime cost of $25,040 is added to the cost of
the APCO Program, the total expense would be $30,654.
If the Board approves the staff recommendation, additional copies of the guidecards and
black and white student manuals would be ordered for training and display purposes for
staff to use while making presentations to civic groups, condominium associations,
homeowner associations, and fraternal organizations.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board authorize sole source purchase of the APCO Institute Emergency
Medical Dispatch Program which includes the guidecards, software program, student manuals,
and authorization for Assistant EMS Chief Brian Burkeen, the APCO Certified Instructor on staff,
to train dispatchers in-house as well as recertify the dispatchers every two years as noted above.

Account (120-133) and $25,040 from the General Fund Contingency Account. If the Board
approves of this 9-1-1 system enhancement, every effort will be made to train the appropriate staff
and implement the program by July 1, 1998.

Director Wright then presented a short video which demonstrated the 9-1-1
instructional assistance in medical emergencies. He also showed a sample of the guide cards
which would be used by the 9-1-1 dispatcher should the computer system be down. He
advised that 32 hours of training would need to be given to the 9-1-1 dispatchers at the
Sheriff's Office and he hoped the system could be implemented by July 1.
Commissioners Eggert and Ginn expressed their support based on the personal
experiences which they described to the other Commissioners.
ON MOTION. by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved Budget
Amendment #018; authorized sole source purchase of the APCO
Institute Emergency Medical Dispatch Program which includes
the guide cards, software program, student manuals, and
authorization for Assistant EMS Chief Brian Burkeen, the
APCO Certified Instructor on staff, to train dispatchers in-house
as well as recertify the dispatchers every two years; approved
funding the EMD Program in the amount of $5,614 from the E9-
1-1 Surcharge Account and $25,040 from the General Fund

11.B.2. BID AWARD #8045 - HURRICANE SHUTTERS FOR
VARIOUS EMERGENCY SERVICES STATIONS
The Board reviewed a Memorandum of April 15, 1998:
TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Jim Chandler, County Administrator
THROUGH: H. T. Dean, Director, Department of General Serviiy
THROUGH: Fran Boynton Powell, Purchasing Manager
FROM: Doug Wright, Director, Emergency Services
DATE: April 15, 1998
SUBJECT: Bid Award IRC #8045 - Hurricane Shutters For Emergency Services Stations
1,3,4,7,8; Authorization To Purchase Hurricane Shutters For Stations 2,5,6,9,
and Med 1 With Balance Of Allocated Funds
At the present time, only one of the eleven Emergency Services Stations in the County is
protected by hurricane shutters. Only Station #10 in Fellsmere has shutters and they were
included in the renovation plans of the station by the architect.
In the current year budget, funds in the amount of $15,400 were allocated from the Optional
One Cern Sales Tax to purchase shutters for five of the stations. The amount allocated was
based on estimates obtained from vendors at the time. In February, bid specifications were
mailed to seventeen (17) vendors and were advertised as required by the Purchasing Manual.
On March 4, 1998, bids from ten (10) vendors were received and opened. The bids for the
shutters ranged from $6,104 to $13,720 and were as noted on the attached spreadsheet.
Folding Shutter Company submitted the lowest bid of $6,104 using 20 gauge galvanized steel.
The 20 gauge galvanized steel exceeds the minimum specification requirement of .040
aluminum. Clearshield of Indian River County, Inc., submitted the second lowest bid of $6,673
using .050 aluminum. This also exceeds the minimum specification requirement of .040
aluminum. The difference between the lowest bidder and second lowest bidder is $569.
After review of all submitted bids, staff recommends the bid be awarded to Clearshield of Indian
River County, Inc., in the amount of $6,673 for the .050 aluminum shutter. This shutter
exceeds the minimum specification and meets 1997 Standard Building Code as well as the Dade
County Code requirements for window protection. This recommendation is predicated on the
fact that the aluminum is lightweight, making for an easier installation, removal and storage.
The apparent low bidder is offering a 20 gauge steel shutter and although it is galvanized steel,
it would eventually be subject to corrosion and the actual weight makes for a more difficult set
up, removal, and storage.
Funds in the amount of $15,400 were prior approved for the purchase of the shutters from
account number 315-220-572-041.25 - Optional Sales Tax - Building Operations - Building
Alterations. If the Board approves the staff recommendation and awards the bid in the amount
of $6,673, the balance remaining would be $8,727. Staff submits that the remaining funds
would be sufficient to provide hurricane shutters for the remaining Emergency Services Stations
which are Stations #2,5,6,9 and Med 1. This would preclude having to budget for the shutters
in the future and enable the project to be completed while the contractor is already on site.
April 28, 1998

RECOACMMgDATION:
Staff recommends the bid be awarded to the second low bidder, Clearshield of Indian River
County, in the amount of $6,673 for the reasons alluded to above. Staff also recommends that
the Board authorize staff to utilize the remaining funds of $8,727 left over from the prior
allocation of $15,400 for the same vendor to install hurricane shutters on Emergency Services
Stations #2,5,6,9 and Med 1.
ATTACHMENT
IRC Bid #8045 Vendor Spreadsheet
MOTION WAS MADE by Commgsioner Eggert, SECONDED
BY Commissioner Adams to approve staff's recommendation.
Commissioner Ginn wondered what it would cost for a few clear shutters so people
in the stations could see out, and Director Wright referred her to the spreadsheet below as
to costs. He further responded that it would mean that all of the stations would not be able
to have shutters. He felt there was more advantage to that than having a little daylight.

The final assessment roll has been prepared and is ready to be delivered to the Clerk to the Board.
Assessments are to be paid within 90 days or in 2 equal installments, the first to be made twelve
months from the due date and subsequent payments to be due yearly from the due date at an interest
rate of 8'/h% established by the Board of County Commissioners.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Since the final assessment to the benefitted owners is less than the preliminary assessment roll, the
only alternative presented is to approve the final assessment roll.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the final assessment roll and the "As -Built Resolution" for the paving of the
above mentioned roads be approved by the Board of County Commissioners and that it be transferred
to the Tax Collector for billing and collection.

MOTION WAS MADE by CommissionerEggert, SECONDED
BY Commissioner Ginn to approve staff's recommendation.
Under discussion, Commissioner Ginn stated that someone in the audience (who lived
near this project) had a question about it. She asked, and the Chairman agreed to have the
person ask a question.
Bob Johnson, of Coral Wind Subdivision on 39' Court SW, asked if the project
included the drainage ditch to the east of 40' Avenue SW.
Public Works Director James Davis explained that there is an existing ditch on the
east side of Westside Subdivision which is within the right-of-way platted for the
subdivision. It is fairly overgrown, but the Road and Bridge Department did not go into that
area to remove all the vegetation because it was felt that it served as a natural buffer between
Coral Wind and Westside subdivisions. Staff felt they would probably get more complaints
if they went in and cleared the area. The drainage is flowing adequately. There will be
periods of time when it will require some hand -trimming to keep the drainage moving; but
this assessment project did not include the clearing of that area east of 40`h Avenue.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously. (Resolution 98-051 adopted certifying
"As -Built" costs for certain paving and drainage improvements
to 6' Lane SW, 40' Avenue SW [south of 5' Street SW] and

11.H. CONTRACT FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
WETLAND TREATMENT SYSTEM - ECOTECH CONSULTANTS,
INC.
Utilities Department Director Don Hubbs briefly reviewed a Memorandum of April
201,1998:
"M �A
APRIL 20, 1998
TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER
COUNTY ADM NISTRATOR
FROM: DONALD R. HUBBS, P.E. H
DIRECTOR OF UTILITY PCESS
PREPARED AND GENE A. RAUTI
STAFFED BY: MANAGER OF WATER/WASTEWATER OPERATIONS
SUBJECT: CONTRACT/OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
WETLAND TREATMENT SYSTEM
On February 8, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved Staff to negotiate
with the firm of Ecotech Consultants, Inc., to manage the Indian River County Wetland
Treatment System (WTS) for a minimum of eighteen months and to prepare an RFP for
long-term management.
On May 7, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved a contractual agreement
for the WTS maintenance with Ecotech. (See attached documents) The contracted yearly
amounts for both years were as follows:
1996/1997 $196,545.00
1997/1998 $150,439.00
This contract had a scope of services to be conducted over a two-year period. The basic
services of the contract included overall maintenance of the WTS, preparation of a
Quality Assurance Program (QAP), performing on-site and off-site quality samplings,
vegetation monitoring, soil sampling, a denitrification study, processing of test results,
preparation of regulatory reporting both to the County and FDEP and assisting in
regulatory permitting issues.
Under the terms of the contract and with the approval of the Board of County
Commissioners, Indian River County has the option to renew/extend the contract for
another two years. The contracted yearly amounts for both additional years would be as
follows: (See attached documents)
April 28, 1998
1998/1999 $115,472.00
1999/2000 $ 98,026.00
86
At this time, the WTS and West Regional Wastewater Treatment plant (WRWWTp) are
operating under extensions of their respective construction permits (DC31-237294 &
DC31-243685). Staff anticipates that the final operating permit for both the WTS and the
WRWWTP will be issued by FDEP this year. This issuance is contingent upon one year
of documenting the phosphorous removal data for the WTS. The documentation of data
will be complete in June of this year and will be a part of the annual operations report that
will be submitted to the FDEP.
At this time, staff has attempted to negotiate a revised contractual agreement with
Ecotech for overall operation and maintenance of the WTS (See attached contract). This
revised contract is to be performed over a one-year period (1998/99). Staff has been
unable to reach a contractual agreement with Ecotech for the revised agreement and
scope of services for operation of the WTS. (See attached documents, marked revised
contract)
Under this revised contract, Utility personnel will be responsible for the actual operation
and maintenance of the WTS with the guidance of the Contractor. During the term of this
contract, the Contractor will set up comprehensive sampling and training schedules as
outlined in the contract. The establishment of this comprehensive training schedule and
program will allow Indian River County employees to effectively operate the WTS.
Additionally, under the terms of the revised contract, the Contractor will no longer be
responsible for berm maintenance for the WTS. At the present time, Staff is reviewing
several different options (i.e., separate outside contract, internal agreement with Road and
Bridge or utilizing utility staff). A separate agenda item will be forthcoming explaining
these options and Staff s recommendation. The Contractor will assist in preparing an
annual report which will facilitate the issuance of the final operating permit for the WTS
and the WRWWTP. The annual report will summarize the results of the monitoring
program for the year. This report will include a detailed analysis of the data as outlined
in the engineering report.
Article 10 of the contract allows Additional Work upon receipt of authorization and
Notice to proceed from the Director of Utility Services. Compensation for additional
work shall be at a price negotiated between the Contractor and the County, not to exceed
$5,000.00.
Below are two options as related to this issue:
1. Approve the renewal of the existing contract with Ecotech Consultants, Inc. for
two additional years as stipulated for the following yearly amounts (See attached
documents):
1998/1999 $115,472.00
1999/2000 $ 98,026.00
2. Allow staff to re -advertise for bid the revised one-year contract for operation and
maintenance of the WTS.
The Staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County
Commissioners select and approve Option No. 2; Allow staff to re -advertise for bid the
revised one year contractfor operation and maintenance of the WTS.
April 28, 1998

Chairman Tippin remarked that he has heard so many great things about the wetlands
we have created and wanted to know if there is a problem or if the County would really save
by bidding this item as recommended.
Director Hubbs referred to the old agenda item which recommended that, after a two-
year period, the existing contractor would assist the County in developing an RFP. Staff has
tried to take it a step further. Since the original contract was never competitively bid, it is
probably good public policy to do so now. Obviously, the Board could allow the existing
contract to continue; there is nothing wrong with it. Staff is very pleased with the. service
being provided by Ecotech Consultants, Inc., however, in reviewing the contract, he believed
some money could be saved by going out to bid and injecting competition into the process.
Commissioner Gruen voiced agreement with his statement.
Commissioner Adams recalled when this contract had first come up and how the
Board had discussed the multi-year facet and the costs if the County were to do it in-house.
The number one consideration at that time was the County did not have the expertise. She
liked the fact that the contractor assumed all liability. She reminded the Commissioners that
the County has already had to pay fines to DEP. She felt their assumption of liability was
quite valuable. She also recalled an instance relative to animal care where the County went
to bid "to get competition", and the County would have been better off leaving animal care
as it was. She felt the County was being well -served by Ecotech.
Director Hubbs reiterated the intent was to inject some competition into the process
which he thought was originally envisioned in 1996. He was pleased with the service and
stated that it was planned for the County to eventually take over all responsibilities relating
to the wetlands. It is anticipated that the contractor will be the trainer for the County's
employees. He advised that the County is planning to do the berm maintenance and a large
part of the sampling during this cycle. During the next cycle, the County plans to take over
more of the permitting and actual botany and biology -type work.
In response to Commissioner Adams, Director Hubbs felt he had the personnel to
absorb the work within the department. He thought that once the wetland is established, it
will remain fairly self-sustaining because Mother Nature is a very good steward.
Commissioner Adams agreed that Mother Nature is a good steward, but when man
comes in and tinkers with what Mother Nature has established, all kinds of variables can
occur to create problems.
April 28, 1998

Next, Commissioner Adams inquired what would happen if the bid process does not
produce any offers as good as what is in place. Commissioner Ginn thought the incumbent
contractor would bid.
Commissioner Adams recounted some discussion from 1996 and recalled that it
actually costs the contractor to continue the contract.
Chairman Tippin questioned the concept of moving back from privatization to the
County doing the work.
Director Hubbs clarified that the actual analysis, a very significant part of the overall
cost, will continue to be done by an outside laboratory. The intent was to have the operators
take responsibility for that operation which is already on the site at the plant. He reviewed
the Board's options and felt that both of the options were very workable.
Commissioner Eggert shared Commissioner Adams' concerns. The important thing
to her was training. She thought the Board needed clarification on the first option that
training was included in the $115,472 and $98,026. She had concern about bringing in a new
contractor who did not participate in its construction, would need to get acquainted with the
wetland, and having them train our personnel, who are not really educated in that field of
study. She believed it could be enormously costly to expect a newly -trained person to
assume this responsibility.
Commissioner Ginn thought any company that would bid on this would have
knowledge in the subject. She asked if Director Hubbs anticipated that there were several
companies that could do the work and would bid, and Director Hubbs indicated affirmation
and added that he would welcome the current contractor's bid as well. Commissioner Ginn
saw going out to bid as an opportunity to save some money and get good service as well.
She did not think it was that difficult to do.
Commissioner Adams assured her that it is a very difficult thing to do. She pointed
out that the County put a fence around it for $88,000. She also spoke from her knowledge
of plants about the vulnerability of plants in the wetlands. She credited former Utilities
Director Terry Pinto with great vision and for having informed the Board of the many
exciting possibilities of creating this wetland. But he also had warned them how easily the
area could be negatively impacted by improper care. That concerned her a great deal. She
had no problem with the training and thought it was important in case something were to
happen to Ecotech, that somebody would be able to carry on. She felt it was a very
April 28, 1998
89
r
precarious time and liked the idea that Ecotech picked up the liability, because normally,
when a contractor blunders, the County has to pay.
Director Hubbs advised that he had spoken with Dan Culbert with the local
Agricultural Extension Office. He advised that they also have a great deal of expertise in
wetland plants and management and have the entire University of Florida resources at their
disposal as well. Thus he felt there was quite a bit of expertise within the county now,
including the Soil and Water Conservation Service, the Environmental Conservation Board,
and the Audubon Society.
Commissioner Adams appreciated what he was saying and supported all of the
organizations he mentioned, but they would be the first ones to tell him that they cannot
commercially run the facility.
Director Hubbs responded that he did not mean to suggest they would, just that staff
could draw on their expertise.
Commissioner Ginn brought out that staff had recently solved a phosphate problem
at the wetlands, and Director Hubbs added that it was accomplished with the original
manufacturer of the process and in-house expertise. There were some internal flow
equalization problems within the wastewater plant, which did not relate directly to the
wetlands except that the discharge to the wetland is highly limited as far as nutrient discharge
right now. The plant is doing the majority of nutrient removal and removal of other types
of pollutants, so, the wetland is a polishing effort and it was intended originally to be a wet -
weather -disposal option. During dry periods, most of the effluent is going to the golf courses
and other irrigation uses, so the wetland serves a back-seat purpose during dry spells. During
extreme wet weather, the wetland serves as primary disposal. The hope is to allow that
phosphorous discharge level, which is limited to .5 parts per million, to creep up and perhaps
reach .75 or 1.00 parts per million, which is much more realistic from an operation
standpoint.
Chip Swindell, one of the owners of Ecotech, wished to respond to the question about
training. Under the previous agreement, Ecotech stated that they would train the County's
staff to whatever level the County desired. They also had agreed in negotiations with former
Director Pinto that the 3' or 4' year, they would re -write the O & M manual specific to the
County's site. That re -write would basically provide the County with a "cookbook"
operational methodology so if the County desired to take over sections or pieces of the
monitoring, there would be a much more detailed, written explanation of the procedures. He
April 28, 1998
&I

also pointed out that during the past year there have -been several episodes where water
quality issues arose with the laboratory and that there is a little bit more to it than just
collecting samples and handing them in for analysis. At those particular points, the field data
became crucial to resolving the laboratory issues. If the laboratory issues cannot be resolved,
it will be very difficult to increase the flow to the wetland, which is designed for 6 million
gallons per day (mgpd). It is currently permitted for 2 mgpd. As it stands, the County has
to demonstrate that it can operate at 2 mgpd, which, according to the permit, is to provide
two years of operational data, which means the water has been flowing through the wetlands,
and demonstrating that it can operate at the current levels. When that is achieved, the flow
could be increased to 3 or 4 mgpd for another two-year period and then increase it again.
The same also applies to the total phosphorous and nitrogen concentrations. The reason the
phosphorous is at a low level is because this wetland is out on the edge as far as design is
concerned. The County had a very ambitious plan; there are no other wetlands in the world
that operate at those hydraulic loadings and those nutrient loadings, so DEP was obviously
wanting to take this a step at a time. He did not necessarily blame them, but he would have
liked to have had it the other way so he could have bragged about it. The State is stepping
it up to demonstrate that, in fact, it is going to work as it was designed. Those issues are
imbedded within Ecotech's responsibilities, as Ecotech sees it.
Mr. Swindell suggested another option available to the County which they recently
permitted to another entity. Their reject water goes to the wetlands, so there is no need for
a separate reject water holding system. Because the County's treatment plants will soon be
completely interconnected, it means that it would be possible at some point in the future,
that all the reject water could be discharged without spending the money to develop a
separate reject water holding system and re-treating the water. There are several issues that
are not readily apparent on the surface of their contract which they agreed to with former
Director Pinto originally. It was envisioned as a symbiotic relationship in the sense that if
Ecotech was able to get the wetlands to work as designed, obviously there would be benefits
to the company for that and, in return, all the benefits to the County because the wetlands
would then serve as the ultimate backup system for all the wastewater treatment plants and
give the County a surface water discharge.
Mr. Swindell believed the County and Ecotech have had a very good working
relationship to this point and they would like it to continue.

Director Hubbs then suggested a compromise. A third option would be to allow staff
to negotiate with Ecotech the stipulated contract provisions in the new agreement that are in
the backup. He reported that he had made some progress in negotiating with Mr. Swindell
and thought this middle-of-the-road approach would be good, that is, to keep the existing
contractor and work under a new contract.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Ginn to approve the
compromise option just suggested by Director Hubbs (to allow
staffto negotiate with Ecotech the stipulated contract provisions
in the new agreement that are in the backup). MOTION DIED
FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
Commissioner Eggert was under the impression that staffhad done a lot of negotiating
already and she sensed that it had been a waste of time.
Director Hubbs stated that they had come down from $115,000 to considerably less
already. The negotiations had stopped based on the inability to get it lower. He preferred
to not divulge the provisions or the dollar amount. He was very confident, based on Mr.
Swindell's comments, that it could be brought "a lot closer." He recommended this approach
would save the County some money, retain the existing expertise, and solve the overlap
problem.
Commissioner Adams was curious why Director Hubbs had not brought this out
earlier in discussion of this matter, and Director Hubbs replied that he was now suggesting
it as a third option.
Commissioner Eggert understood, but Director Hubbs had given them no hint that
negotiations had already taken place. She was concerned as to why Director Hubbs did not
bring them this information earlier.
Director Hubbs took responsibility and defended his presentation of the earlier
suggested options, but felt this third suggestion fell under the category of sort of an "unsaid
option," since the existing contract has that option within it.
Commissioner Eggert felt that if there had been an agreed-upon contract at some
point, that she would have appreciated knowing the bottom line that had been reached. She
wondered why they had not been asked to approve that.
Director Hubbs offered that Mr. Swindell might wish to inform the Board of the
April 28, 1998
92
particulars of the negotiations.
Commissioner Ginn thought that would be out of order since one of their options was
going out to bid.
Commissioner Eggert commented that she and Commissioner Adams were trying to
gather information about the new third option suggested by Director Hubbs.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED
by Commissioner Eggert, to approve option I (approve renewal
of the existing contract with Ecotech Consultants, Inc. for two
additional years as stipulated for the following yearly amounts:
1998/99 @ $115,472 and 1999/2000 @ $981026.) with the
ability, if desired, to negotiate and bring it back.
Under discussion, Commissioner Adams advised that she was uncomfortable trying
to negotiate a stipulated agreement.
Commissioner Ginn commented that would give Ecotech the upper hand. She thought
staff had evaluated it and the Board was getting to the point of micro -managing this matter.
She proceeded to speak in favor of her earlier motion and give her reasons for supporting
staff's suggested third option.
Commissioner Eggert did not disagree with her about the goal. What concerned her
was the limited time that the two main staffers have been with the County and all the Board
talked and dreamed about and negotiated in 1996. She thought it was like looking at the
matter with two different sets of eyes.
Commissioner Eggert asked if there was a step beyond which Ecotech would not go,
and Mr. Swindell responded in a lengthy, roundabout manner. He stated that in the
negotiations, his liabilities and responsibilities had not been reduced, but slightly increased
because the training had gone from something voluntary to a mandatory event. He thought
that he could not take less than what was proposed in the contract before them now.
Commissioner Eggert understood there was not any other firm negotiated point
reached before suspending negotiations, and Mr. Swindell agreed that was a correct
statement.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried 4-1 (Commissioner Ginn opposed).

13.B.1. VICE CHAIRMAN MACHT - CARSON PLATT ESTATE -
ENVIRONMENTAL LAND PURCHASE
Vice Chairman Macht recounted that the Board had designated Commissioner Adams
to go to Tallahassee to represent the Board of County Commissioners concerning the Board's
desire for equitable title to properties which the County purchases in partnership with the
State and other agencies. He called on Commissioner Adams to make her report.
Commissioner Adams thought that they were very good to her in Tallahassee. She
believed the calls and visits from Bill Roberts and others had helped considerably. What
the State would like to do is to contribute 50% of the purchase price for the Carson Platt
Estate purchase, contingent on the County's 25% and St. Johns River Water Management
District's 25% contributions. In addition, they will take the policy of shared proportional
ownership to the LAMAC (Land Acquisition and Management Committee) which sets those
policies. Mr. Kirby Green who heads that committee has agreed to put it on LAMAC's June
agenda. She was thrilled that they understand the County's position, that they sympathize,
and will do everything to look at the policy. They made no promises. Under that scenario,
the staffwas favorable and understood our position, which was very important. Mr. Roberts
will send a letter to Mr. Green to follow up the conversation to confirm the agenda item for
June and the commitment to review their policy. Also continuing is the contacting of
April 28, 1998

•
Cabinet members and their aides to solicit their support from that angle. She felt it was very
important that staffknew that they had the support of the Cabinet, the Board of Trustees, for
the State lands. She thought that, with those efforts, the Board would see some results. The
only downside is we may not see this before the purchase of the Platt Estate is scheduled
to go before the Governor and the Cabinet for May 28, Memorial Day. It may be on the
following week if the agenda item is not in on time. She requested a new resolution which
supports the purchase of the Platt property at the 50/25/25 participation split and the ability
to follow through with the Cabinet meeting and the LAMAC meeting. Mr. Green indicated
that he would also let the Cabinet know that this policy is being reviewed. She felt those
were major steps.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED
BY Commissioner Ginn, to adopt a new resolution to support
the purchase of the Carson Platt Estate in the ratio of a 50/25/25
participation, as requested.
Under discussion, Vice Chairman Macht pointed out that this was a savings of nearly
$800,000 to the County. He thought the County has the opportunity for constructive
engagement with the State which will get us where we need to go.
Commissioner Ginn congratulated Commissioner Adams on a job well done.
Chairman Tippin also congratulated Commissioner Adams on her ability to move
around in Tallahassee. It is very important to Indian River County and to other counties
which have similar bond issues or are just getting started purchasing environmentally
sensitive lands. We have taken the very first step in what could be vitally important to many
other counties in Florida.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
passed unanimously. (Resolution No. 98-052 adopted)

CARSON PLATT PROPERTY PURCHASE.
WHEREAS, the State of Florida Conservation and Recreation Lands
Program, the St. Johns River Water Management District, and Indian River
County have been negotiating for some time for the joint purchase of the Carson

involved and the property owners; and
WHEREAS, the State has offered to pay 50% of the purchase price with
the District and the County splitting the remaining 50% of the cost; and
WHEREAS, Indian River County believes strongly that, as a major
contributor to the purchase of the lands, it should have some interest in title along
with the State and District; and
WHEREAS, although State land acquisition policies do not allow this title
sharing, the County has chosen to participate in the purchase price nonetheless
on* the assurance by the State, through its Conservation and Recreation Lands
Program staff, that the State will strongly consider amending its land acquisition
policies to allow title sharing, in instances such as this, with the goal that the
County may, after the acquisition, be included in a title sharing arrangement with
the State and District;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that: .
1. The Board of County Commissioners approves the County's participation of up

At the City Council meeting held on Tuesday night we voted unanimously to hold a
Special Call Meeting to discuss Lost Tree Village Islands. The City has taken the
position that the Lost Tree Village Islands should not be developed and should be
purchased by the County using the funds that the citizens of Vero Beach and the County
voted for in order to assure their purchase. As part of the process the City is in the
position of having to either stop the development by prohibiting the establishing of a
bridge to the islands from City roads and incurring a substantial liability, or allow the
development of the islands. There are many people in the community who would like the
opportunity to speak out on this issue which is the reason for having this special meeting.
I would like to invite and encourage all the County Commissioners to attend this meeting
and give their input on this subject. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 6,
1998 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall, Council Chambers. If you have any questions prior to J
the meeting, please feel free to give me a call.
Sincerely,

CLERK TO THE BOARD
Vice Chairman Macht felt that everyone needed to be reminded that this city meeting
comes in the midst of litigation that has been deferred while an offer from Lost Tree Village
to the municipalities is considered. He thought the Commissioners needed to be very
circumspect in any participation they have in the City of Vero Beach's meeting because we
have no standing in the litigation, for one thing.
Assistant County Attorney Terrence P. O'Brien confirmed Vice Chairman Macht's
statement advising that it is strictly between the municipalities, the State and Lost Tree.
Vice Chairman Macht offered, with the Board's concurrence, to provide chronology
at the city's meeting, which is what they seek. As one of the instigators, he has in great
detail the chronological information, which he would be glad to provide them, as
information, without providing any opinions, or anything that would obligate the Board in
any way.
Chairman Tippin understood that they could all attend if they wished but not comment
and Vice Chairman Macht would provide information.
Commissioner Ginn stated that she intended to speak as a citizen of the City of Vero
Beach and felt she was entitled to do that.

As Chairman of the Emergency Services District Advisory Committee, Commissioner
Eggert pointed out that the Board had today passed the Emergency Medical Dispatch
program which they feel will be helpful to all areas in the county and everyone will soon get
immediate medical information when calling 9-1-1. She explained that there are four areas
in the County that have been watched by the Committee and reviewed annually since 1989.
The four areas are: Sebastian, North A- 1-A (which is without fire and paramedic assistance
and cannot get the same insurance fire rating as everyone else in the county because of the
distance from a fire station), South A - 1-A (which has no paramedic set up), and the Hospital
District (which has been changing radically and will be for a few more years). She made
it known that selling a water plant would not be a funding solution because water plants are
part of an enterprise fund and the funds for that cannot be used for adding emergency
services. The millage that comes from the emergency service district is to be used. Growth
has been experienced and she hoped that with that growth, the County would be able to bring
more of these establishments. The Emergency Services District Advisory Committee will
be meeting in a few months after the early stages of the budget process. She thought what
needed to be done over the next 5 or 6 years is to see how we can bring paramedics into
these areas, determine where the money will come from, and decide what is the most
immediate need. They will be coming up with something relatively soon. She can
understand that everyone feels that their need is immediate.
Mayor Ruth Sullivan of Sebastian thanked the Board and especially Commissioner
Eggert because of the effort she has devoted to Emergency Services for the county. In years
past, Sebastian and the north county have felt like orphans, but they no longer feel that way.
She thought they were being well cared for by the County; the last few .years have been
wonderful and she wanted the Board to know it was appreciated. She stated that a number
of Sebastian residents were in the audience representing several organizations. She
supported the reasons put forth by Mr. Van Woeart and stated that she felt it vital to have
ambulance service added west of the railroad tracks.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously.

When Chairman Tippin asked if Commissioner Adams had anything else, she
remarked that the Commissioners had "set her up" and that "pay backs will come". She was
referring to the "Keep Indian River Beautiful" clean up event this past weekend. She
reported how she had worked hard to make sure she beat the rest of them, only to get back
to the office on Monday and find out that none of the other Commissioners had participated.
The other Commissioners offered their excuses and congratulated her on a wonderful
job.

Chairman, Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating
Board
Date: April 23, 1998
Subject: Political Ads on County Vehicles
Political ads have appeared on the trolleys, which are county -owned vehicles.
Traditionally, political ads have not been allowed when local, state and
government funding is used.
As Chairman of the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board
(TDLCB), I ask the Board of County Commissioners to ask our Community
Transportation Coordinator, Council on Aging, to remove the ads from the
trolleys and refund any money used to purchase the ad space.
In addition, I wish approval by the Board of County Commissioners to ask the
Council on Aging to develop a [policy on ads that shouldn't be used, such as
liquor and tobacco ads, etc., and present it to the TDLCB for approval.

Commissioner Eggert reported that there was a general policy with other such vehicles
to not allow any kind of political advertising, even though it is paid for by individuals.
People assume that perhaps the County is supporting one candidate over another, which she
thought gets the County into trouble. She asked that the Board allow her to ask the
Community Transportation Coordinator (Council on Aging) to remove ads from the trolleys
and refund any money for the ad space. She reported that this type of thing has gone to the
Supreme Court which has said that refusing to accept this type of advertising does not result
in a 1' or 14' amendment violation. (1974, City of Shaker Heights)
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously approved asking
the Community Transportation Coordinator (Council on Aging)
to expand their advertising policy to exclude political
advertising on all (County -owned) vehicles.
