INVOICE #1 FOR THE 1998 TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED
PLANNING GRANT
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at their regular meeting of May 12, 1998.
It is required, as part of the Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Planning Grant contract between the
Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) as the Designated Official Planning
Agency (DOPA) and the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD),
that periodic progress reports and reimbursement invoices be submitted. To comply with the CTD's
requirements, staff has prepared a progress report and invoice for the period from January 1, 1998
to March 31, 1998.
For the 1998 planning grant period, the invoice and progress report represent the first submittal.
This progress report and applicable finished products, such as the Local Coordinating Board (LCB)
meeting agenda items, CTC reports, etc., are required to accompany all reimbursement invoices.
On April 30, 1998, the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) reviewed
and approved the attached progress report and invoice. At that time, the TDLCB recommended that
the Board of County Commissioners, in its capacity as the Transportation Disadvantaged Program
Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA), approve the attached progress report and invoice and
forward these to the CTD.
Attached is a copy of the progress report and invoice for the January 1, 1998 to March 31, 1998

Finished products such as TDLCB meeting agenda items, CTC reports, and other pertinent reports
are required to accompany all reimbursement invoices. These materials will be submitted to the state
along with the reimbursement invoice and the progress report.
The BCC/DOPA's alternatives are either to approve the transmittal of the Progress Report and
reimbursement invoice as submitted, to approve transmittal of the Progress Report and invoice with
revisions, or to deny the transmittal of the Progress Report and reimbursement invoice to the state.
Choosing the last alternative could affect the county's reimbursement of staff time expended for
transportation disadvantaged planning related services.
The TDLCB and the staff recommend that the Board of County Commissioners/DOPA approve
Progress Report and reimbursement invoice #1, and direct staff to transmit the report and the invoice
to the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD).

SUBJECT: Oak Island Associates' Request for Final Plat Approval for Phase I of Oak Island
Subdivision
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 12, 1998.
Oak Island Subdivision is a 29 unit subdivision of a 10 acre parcel of property located on the north
side of 73' Street just east of US 1. This project was formerly known as Copeland's Landing West.
The subject property is split zoned RS -3, Residential Single Family (up to 3 units/acre) and RM -3,
Residential Multi -Family (up to 3 units/acre) with the majority of the site being zoned RM -3. The
site has an L-1 land use designation and proposes a density of 2.9 units/acre.
In addition to the existing quadraplex on the site, the applicant received site plan approval to
construct 25 single family detached patio homes. At the January 22, 1998 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting, the applicant also received preliminary plat approval to "plat over" the site
plan.
The developer, Oak Island Associates, subsequently obtained a land development permit waiver, and
has completed a majority of the required subdivision improvements. The applicant is now requesting
final plat approval and has submitted the following:
1. A Phase I final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary plat for Phase I,
2. A completed contract for construction of remaining required improvements,
3. An Engineers Certified Cost Estimate for the remaining required improvements, and
May 12, 1998
13
PACE
4. An acceptable security arrangement to guarantee the contract for construction of remaining
required improvements.
The majority of the required subdivision improvements have been constructed. At this time, the
applicant is proposing to "bond out" the remaining required improvements for Phase I, as provided
for in the county's land development regulations. Both the public works department and the utility
services department have reviewed and approved the submitted engineers cost estimate and
corresponding security amount In addition, the county attorney's office has reviewed and approved
the submitted contract for construction and the associated financial security. The financial security
represents 115% of the estimated cost to construct the required improvements. It should be noted
that all improvements within Oak Island will be private, except for the utility facilities. The utility
facilities will be dedicated to Indian River County as required by the Utility Services Department.
: 1 MUT P e .
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners:
1. Grant final plat approval to Oak Island Phase I,
2. Authorize the chairman to sign the contract for construction of remaining required
improvements,
3. Accept the security arrangement as approved by the County Attorney's Office, Public Works
and Utilities Departments, and
4. Authorize the County Attorney's Office to execute any Notices and agreements related to
pledged securities accounts.

Subject: Falcon Cable Ownership Change
BACKGROUND:
Falcon has entered into a partnership agreement with TCI in which TCI will hold a
minority ownership of 47% of the new Falcon/TCI Partnership (Falcon Communications,
L.P.) The wording in our Franchise Agreement with Falcon requires Board of County
Commission Approval of the new ownership.
If Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI) was an unknown entity to us, we might have had to
do some more research on the new ownership structure; however, TCI currently operates
in our county and their track record has been good. The information we received
indicates that we will not likely see a change in the local operation of Falcon.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the attached Resolution be signed by Board of County
Commissioners to consent to this new business arrangement between Falcon and TCI.

8.A. Clerk of Court - Indian River County Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for FY 1996-97
Clerk of Court Jeffrey K. Barton apologized that it had been necessary to remove this
item from a previous agenda due to emergency dental surgery.
Clerk Barton advised that the CAFR had been previously distributed to the
Commissioners and that copies had been placed in both Libraries for public access. He
reported that an unqualified opinion has been received again this year and the CAFR has
been submitted to the GFOA for the annual award. He displayed one of the 15 annual
awards the office has received. The theme of the CAFR this year is acquisitions of
environmentally sensitive lands. It contains photos of properties that have been purchased
with brief descriptions.
Ross Cotherman, Cotherman and Associates, CPA, the auditor in charge, remarked
(in jest) that he never knew so many people would come out to hear a presentation of the
financial statement. He gave a quick overview of the CAFR which is made up of 5 sections:
Introductory, Financial, Statistical, Single Audit, and Auditor General. His office is
primarily responsible for issuing opinions on the financial, single audit, and auditor general
sections. He briefly explained what each section contained. He pointed out that on page
1 of the Financial section is their unqualified opinion, the highest level a CPA firm can issue
on a set of financial statements. Mr. Cotherman described the contents in the CAFR's
various sections and advised that the Auditor General Section is new this year and contains
stand-alone financial statements for the constitutional officers.
Mr. Cotherman then described the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting
which the Finance Department has received for the past 15 years. He felt the County should
be very proud of these awards (displayed on the wall on the third floor hallway)and the
commitment of the Finance Department to report above and beyond the minimum standards
required for governmental audit reporting. He was very proud to be associated with it and
pleased that he is able to help the County continue to receive the award.
Mr. Cotherman offered to sit down with any of the Commissioners to discuss the
financial statements. He extended thanks to Clerk Barton, Finance Director Ed Fry, and
Assistant Finance Director Jeff Smith who have done a fine job assisting the audit team
which comes in from November through February. He offered to answer questions.
May 12,1998

Commissioner Ginn had questions of management as to what is being done to insure
that the problems discovered in the Utilities Department are being corrected.
Administrator Chandler advised that the problems have been identified and the causes
of the problems have been addressed and continue to be addressed. He gave assurances that
the situation has been corrected and will not occur again in the future. He credited the
auditors for their help and Assistant Finance Director Jeff Smith for his assistance. There
is more communication internally in the department and a working relationship with the
Finance Department has been established. Some errors were discovered in the program
provided by the outside billing firm that needed to be tightened up.
Commissioner Ginn explained that she felt the public needed to have that explanation
in case any of them were going to ask the question. She suggested a quarterly or semi-annual
report on that situation.
Commissioner Eggert felt the report should be made to the Utilities Advisory
Committee; Commissioner Ginn agreed that was a very good idea.

asked that they all respect the rights of others who may not agree with their point -of -view.
Community Development Director Bob Keating reviewed the following Memorandum
dated May 6, 1998 (from 1 LA.):
TO: James Chandler
County Administrator
FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICPAt�
Community Development Director
DATE: May 6, 1998
SUBJECT: LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM FINANCIAL STATUS
REPORT
May 12, 1998
26
C�
It is requested that the information presented herein be given
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting
of May 12, 1998.
At its meeting of April 21, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners
requested that staff provide the Board a financial status report on
the County's land acquisition program. This is that report.
The various attachments to this report provide detail on the
financial status of the bond program, considering actual spending
to date and projected future spending. Attachment 1 is a sources
and uses summary which provides an estimate of available bond funds
based on existing cash balance, committed purchases, anticipated
purchases, and issuance of the remaining $11 million in bonds. As
shown in Attachment 1, the fund's actual cash balance is presently
$4,920,092. This does not reflect existing land purchase
commitments nor cost share reimbursements payable to the County.
Since approval of the environmentally sensitive land acquisition
bond referendum in November, 1992, and issuance of the first $15
million of bonds in July, 1995, land acquisition expenditures have
occurred in several categories. These categories are: land costs,
acquisition costs, initial management costs, and program
administration. Besides those costs, there are several sources of
program revenue. These include: interest income, cost share
partner reimbursement, and program income.
Attachment 2 is the LAAO Projects Costs & Revenues Report. As
indicated in that report, the County's current program balance is
slightly less than $3 million.
That balance reflects issuance of only $15 million of the $26
million approved by the bond referendum. It also reflects
anticipated expenditures for properties (Flinn, Harmony Oaks,
Carson Platt) approved by the Board for acquisition, but not yet
purchased. Finally, the current balance amount'includes cost share
reimbursements associated with several of the properties. Of the
four reimbursements, only one (Harmony Oaks) relates to a not -yet -
approved grant application. The other three reimbursements are
subject only to completion of administrative activities.
Besides the properties purchased to date or approved for purchase,
there are several other properties having a high probability of
being purchased within the next year. These properties and their
estimated costs are reflected under the anticipated activity
category of Attachment 2. Of those five properties, two have

committed cost share partners. Those are: Round Island South
(approved FCT grant) and Spallone (CARL cost share). Each of the
other three is the subject of an PCT grant application submitted
for the current cycle.
In addition to the projected land cost and acquisition expenses,
the anticipated activity category reflects other costs anticipated
for the next year. Those costs include program administration
costs, arbitrage costs, and initial management expenses.' As
indicated in Attachment 1, the costs associated with the
anticipated activity would reduce the current balance to about one
and a half million dollars.
Since purchase of the Lost Tree Village Islands was a major concern
of the Board in directing staff to prepare this LAAO financial
status report, the Lost Tree Islands purchase was incorporated into
this report, using conservative assumptions. First, it assumes
that the Islands will not be purchased at the FCT offer price of
$5.7 million (a price made public by Lost Tree Village), but
instead will be acquired at Lost Tree's full purchase price of
$12.2 million (latest counteroffer which has been made public by
Lost Tree Village). Second, it assumes that no FCT funding will be
provided. FCT would pay as much as $4 million of the purchase
price if appraisals were at least $10 million. The FCT grant
award, however, may be withdrawn if no purchase occurs soon.
Finally, it is assumed that the final $11 million bond will be
issued, and the bond proceeds will total $10,500,000.
As shown in Attachment 2, there is insufficient money to purchase
the Lost Tree Village Islands, using the conservative purchase
assumptions listed above. Since there is an approved FCT grant
award for purchase of the Lost Tree Islands, it is appropriate to
consider those funds. This grant will pay 40% of the appraised
value of the property or $4 million, whichever is less. Attachment
3 reflects a conservative estimate of FCT funds available for the
purchase. This FCT award estimate of $2.3 million is based on FCT
purchase offers made public by Lost Tree Village. As shown in
Attachment 3, there are sufficient funds to purchase the Lost Tree
Islands with use of the FCT funds.
�iIa$- - - -
Attachment 2 also identifies the impact of County purchase of the
other properties on the LAAO acquisition list. The purchase of
these properties is not imminent for various reasons including
uncooperative owners, lack of cost share opportunities, and others,
but these lands are on the acquisition list and may be acquired.
Given the land cost and acquisition expenses of these properties
and the projected fund balance considering purchase of the Lost
Tree Islands, the LAAO fund would not be sufficient to purchase all
of these lands.
May 12, 1998
28
As of this time, Indian River County has purchased (or approved the
purchase of) fourteen properties with bond funds. The County has
also received one donation (Green Salt Marsh). Of those fourteen
properties, all but one (Judah) were cost share purchases. Each
property was purchased at less than its approved appraised value.
Through cost share partnering, the County has leveraged its bond
funds and purchased about twice as much property as would have been
acquired using County funds alone. By purchasing at a discount to
appraised value (for example, the St. Sebastian PUD property was
purchased at 58% of appraised value and 50% cost share), the County
has further increased acquired acreage.
These facts indicate that the environmentally sensitive land
acquisition program has been successful. Even though Attachments
2 and 3 show that there is not enough money available to purchase
all the properties on the LAAO list, that fact does not reflect
adversely on the program. In fact, it was always anticipated that
the pool of desirable properties to be purchased would exceed
available funds. That situation even enhances negotiation by
providing an incentive for property owners to sell before the money
is spent on other projects.
While the financial projections provided in this report are based
on reasonable and conservative assumptions, the Lost Tree Islands
purchase is still a significant wildcard. Although the $12.2
million purchase price is based on a publicly released Lost Tree
Village counteroffer, there still may be an opportunity to
negotiate a lower price. It is also possible that FCT's cost share
could increase to $4 million if the Islands are appraised at a
higher value based on city and town comprehensive plan changes. So
it is possible that the financial bottom line will get better and
improbable that it will get worse.
Staff recommends that the Board of :County Commissioners review the
information presented and provide direction to staff.

Commissioner Eggert advised she has always felt the County should buy the Lost
Tree Islands; that they are very important. She had thought long and hard about the matter
the last several weeks. She was distressed at the name calling and other things that have
occurred and felt it was time to do something and move on.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert to 1) turn
negotiations over to the staff of Board of County
Commissioners; 2) *request the Florida Communities Trust
(FCT) to allow us to not keep private the appraisal amount or
accept the fact that it has already been revealed by Lost Tree to
the newspapers; 3) make a counter offer of $10,500,000 and go
from there.
Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert commented that Lost Tree has been generous
in the past.
There was a brief discussion concerning the confidentiality of the State's appraisal.
Following a suggestion by County Attorney Vitunac,
MOTION WAS AMENDED *to ask the FCT for permission to
reveal the appraised value as part of the negotiating process,
without jeopardizing the $2.3 million contribution from the
State.
Vice Chairman Macht felt that point had no validity because confidentiality had been
breached already.
Commissioner Eggert understood, but the County did not breach the confidentiality
and she was looking for a "formal breaching."
Vice Chairman Macht spoke at length against the motion. He was in favor of buying
the Lost Tree Islands for under the appraised value, and he had no intention of having any
part in buying them for anything over the appraised value. He did not understand the
compulsion to lavish money on an organization above an established value. He mentioned
several reasons, including lawsuits and zoning, why he would not support the motion. It
made no sense to him and he hoped the Commissioners would not pass it. He believed it was
May 12, 1998
33
not good business, nor good government.
Commissioner Ginn responded that none of them wanted to throw away tax dollars
and everyone believed that the Lost Tree Islands would be part of the purchase of
environmental lands when they promoted and voted in favor of the bond issue.
Commissioner Adams stated she did not know any more than what she had read in the
newspapers about this, but it seemed to her there was an hysteria, a frenzy, which was not
becoming to our community. She has experience in Tallahassee concerning land purchases
and she advised that as aggravating as they are to deal with there, they have resources and
experience far beyond ours; the philosophy is very environmentally sensitive. They are
concerned about the environmental impact on the Indian River Lagoon, not the traffic if the
islands are developed. She felt it would be a very, very difficult process for very much to
be done with those islands. There were ways to lend support and add to the negotiations (by
FCT), but she thought that starting over with staff negotiations was not very prudent. She
spoke about fair market value and the prudent use of taxpayer dollars. She thought the Board
had a responsibility to be fair to everybody in the county; that they ought to wait a bit instead
of caving in to pressure.
Commissioner Eggert defended her position as never having been known for caving
in or for hysteria, but she felt we had a situation where there is more to the value than just
an appraisal, especially viewing it as protecting the Indian River Lagoon. She had given this
tremendous thought and felt that if you want something that you feel is important to the
future, that you need to move forward with it. This was just another step along the way.
Commissioner Ginn called it citizen concern and an exercise in democracy, not
hysteria. The people were present because they thought they knew what they were going to
get, but have not gotten it. She then queried Vice Chairman Macht on his statement about
a court case regarding the ownership of the islands and submerged land.
Assistant County Attorney Terrence P. O'Brien advised that Lost Tree did not get the
title to the submerged lands that they sought, but they do claim title to the submerged lands
for the inner island. He did not know if that had ever been solved.
Vice Chairman Macht advised that in his earlier remarks he did not mean that
Commissioner Eggert had ever been known to do anything that she did not think proper; she
has been a marvelous Commissioner. He emphasized that the Board did not promise to buy
the islands, but to investigate the possible purchase of the islands. Individuals who had made
that statement made it on their own, which is not binding on the Commission nor on the
May 12, 1998
34
citizens. He felt that Lost Tree has been the stumbling block in these negotiations, that if
they had accepted the offer, it would have been over and done, and the islands would be the
County's. He wanted the County to own those islands and have them undeveloped. He had
hoped that Lost Tree Village would have been more responsible. He felt there was no basis
for negotiations given the appraisal and Lost Tree's price of $12,200,000. He felt there was
nothing else that could be applied to enhance the value of the islands over the appraised
value.
Chairman Tippin opened the floor for public comment and hoped there would not be
a lot of repetition.
City of Vero Beach Vice Mayor Sandra Bowden, represented the City, read from
prepared remarks, and presented the City's Resolution 98-11 as follows:
RESOLUTION 98- 11
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF VERO BEACH, FLORIDA,

RE: Lost Tree Village Island Negotiationsser
At our special meeting held after the Public Hearing on Monday, May 4, 1998, the
Town Council of Indian River Shores voted unanimously on the following issues:
1. Council strongly urges the County Commissioners to negotiate directly with
Lost Tree Village Corporation, if matching funds are not readily available
through the Florida Community Trust.
2. Council strongly supports a moratorium on the expenditures of any
additional bond referendum monies until the issue of the islands is settled.
3. The Town would join with other governmental bodies and individuals to
work toward the purchase of the islands in a prompt and expedient manner.
The consensus of a large number of the more than two hundred people in
attendance was that the County Commission should take charge so that the purchase of
the islands could be accomplished. As Mayor, I am asking for your full support and
cooperation in arriving at a settlement that would be in the best interest of all County
residents.
RECEIVED Sincerely,

Councilman Schoen pointed out that if the FCT funds were used, there will no doubt
be a management plan required which would include docks, walking paths, restrooms and
so forth. He believed the people wished the islands to remain as they are. He strongly
supported the motion on the floor.
Jim Granse, 36 Pine Arbor Lane, a concerned citizen, favored not purchasing the
property in concert with the FCT. He pointed out that the State holds title on the recent
purchases. He felt the point that the State might hold title should be discussed. He
questioned whether considering this issue today was constitutional since a "report" was on
the agenda and would not mean anything to the general population of Indian River County.
He opposed voting $12 million for the purchase of the islands.
George Foote, 119 Cache Cay Drive, referred to a copy he had of the 1992 brochure
urging passage of the bond referendum. He discussed the value of the islands and felt it
represented quality of life and potentially impacted residential property values in the county.
He urged negotiation and purchase of the islands.
Bob Walsh, 4405 Sunset Drive, felt there must be a figure somewhere between the
appraisal and the amount in the motion for which the islands could be purchased.
Toni Robinson, 1111 Indian Mound Trail, spoke about quality of life in Indian River
County believing that the river islands are key to that quality of life. She made many
suggestions including getting an appraiser acceptable to both sides. She was concerned
about environmental impact if the islands are developed. She urged the Board to act quickly
and thanked them for their efforts.
Francis Coffee, 88 Cache Cay, Vero Beach, advised that he had examined the tax
records and reported on the ownership of the islands. He confirmed Vice Chairman Macht's
claim that the islands are not under one ownership. He had spent time looking at the
appraised value of properties and reported on tax rates per acre and taxes collected for those
properties. He stated that if Lost Tree Village Corporation believes the land is worth $12.2
million, it is presently assessed at only 8% of that value. It seemed to him that if an
agreement could not be reached to purchase the islands, that the assessment should be
increased to be more in keeping with the amount being asked by the owners. He also told
of the money raised by the sale of Indian River Lagoon license plates, showing the
environmental concern of people in the county. He urged the Commission to give the matter
serious thought.

Renee Renzi, Waverly Place/6th Avenue, Vero Beach, appeared representing the
Civic Association of Indian River County. She read from prepared remarks as follows:
The Civic Association of Indian River County wishes to go on
record as favoring the purchase of Lost Tree Islands by the
County at reasonable cost and putting the islands in public
ownership in perpetuity.
Tom Trolle, 4903 Sunset Drive presented a petition of over "660 county voters"
imploring the Board to approve the purchase of the islands under the 1992 referendum. He
urged the Board to consider this outpouring from the community as representing a large
portion of their constituents. He believed environmental value should be included in value
calculations for the islands. He spoke of the lawsuit filed by Lost Tree Village, the cost of
which added to the value. He urged the Board to negotiate directly with Lost Tree and
purchase the islands. (Petitions are on file in the Office of the Clerk to the Board.)
Steve Moler, 5125 Tradewinds Road, Silver Shores, suggested the Board get a third
party appraiser independent from both parties to do a thorough evaluation of the property's
value relative to development rights as well as environmentally. That would take everybody
off the hook politically and determine the proper value of the islands.
Betsy Huebner, 35 Cache Cay Drive, submitted a photograph of a large flock of
pelicans which visit her every year for 6 weeks. She felt the islands were worth any price.
(Photograph on file in the Office of the Clerk to the Board.)
Norman Badenhop, 4601 Sunset Drive, felt the indication from the audience was in
favor of buying the islands and suggested the Chairman ask for a show of hands.
It appeared there were no others wishing to speak and Chairman Tippin advised that
this would conclude the remarks from the audience and called for a 5 -minute recess at
approximately 10:50 a.m.
May 12, 1998

FAGE", 24
Chairman Tippin reconvened the meeting at 10:57 a.m. and reminded the Board that
there was a motion on the floor and asked Commissioner Eggert to restate her motion.
Commissioner Eggert restated her motion as follows: 1) that we ask the staff of the
Board of County Commissioners to negotiate directly with Lost Tree Village; 2) that we
either ask the FCT to allow us to not keep private the appraisal or to accept the fact that the
appraisal is already known; and 3) that we make our counter-offer of $10,500,000.
Vice Chairman Macht pointed out that there is a large constituency within the county
not present at this meeting and he thought it was inappropriate to take action today, that the
Board ought to defer the matter to a public hearing. Since he perceived that the rest of the
Board probably did not want to do that, he spoke against the motion saying that by stating
a dollar amount, they "gave away the store". He offered a substitute motion for
consideration: to enter into negotiations on a staff -basis in concert with FCT at least to the
point of keeping them on board; use our paid consultant; do not put a financial basis for
beginning negotiations, face-to-face with the representatives of Lost Tree Village, with all
offers being submitted to the LAAC. There was no second.
Commissioner Eggert advised that she had considered this matter long and hard over
the weekend. She gave her reasons for stating the amount of the counter offer and other
provisos in the motion. She thought it was unrealistic to bargain in this matter in any other
way. She hoped they could reach agreement and use the remainder of the money to purchase
the rest of the properties.
Commissioner Ginn advised that she would not be in favor of Mr. Hardee being
involved in these negotiations. She has not been impressed by his work and would, at some
time in the future, like to see him removed.
Commissioner Eggert wanted to see no participation in this by County Commissioners
other than getting it started. Normally, the Board asks Administrator Chandler to choose the
negotiators that he feels can negotiate best with them. She would like to see that regular
procedure followed.
Commissioner Adams asked if Commissioner Eggert had anything on which to base
a feeling for a fruitful outcome on this motion, and Commissioner Eggert replied that she felt
from past conversations and discussions with her neighbors that we are kidding ourselves if
we go any lower.
May 12, 1998
M
Commissioner Adams then asked Commissioner Eggert about a third party appraisal,
and Commissioner Eggert asked if they were willing to accept the outcome if it was $20
million. Commissioner Eggert was not willing to do that.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried 4-1 (Vice Chairman Macht opposed).
Commissioner Ginn wanted to call a moratorium on any spending for other parcels,
and Commissioner Eggert understood that essentially the County was at moratorium.
Commissioner Grin wanted to move forward on the Flinn, Harmony Oaks, and
Carson Platt purchases and call a moratorium until this Lost Tree Island matter is settled.
She hoped the County would move on it aggressively as requested by City of Vero Beach
and Town of Indian River Shores.
Commissioner Eggert hoped the parties would be able to meet within the next week.
She understood that nothing could be purchased until presented to LAAC and then to the
Board. She was against moratoriums.

Vice Chairman Macht announced that he was resigning as Chairman of the LAAC,

SUBJECT: William Cobb's Request for Planned Development (PD) Special Exception Use and
Preliminary PD Plan/Plat Approval for an Agricultural PD to be Known as the
Paddock
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 12, 1998.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
Knight, McGuire & Associates, Inc. has submitted an application for PD (planned development)
special exception use and preliminary PD plan/plat approval on behalf of William Cobb to create
seven 5 acre tracts within an agriculturally designated area. The subject 33.59 acre development is
located on the west side of 66' Avenue and approximately 700' north of the Indian River County/St.
Lucie County line. The subject property is zoned A-1, Agricultural (up to 1 unit/5 acres), is located
outside the Urban Service Area, and is designated AG -1 (Agricultural up to 1 unit/5 acres). The
proposed seven tract residential/agricultural subdivision is allowed in the AG -1 area, subject to the
special agricultural provisions of sections 911.06(4) and 911.14(2) of the county's land development
regulations.
6PDs in Agriculturally Designated Areas
To address certain urban sprawl concerns raised by DCA during its review of the 1990
Comprehensive Plan, the county adopted special policies and regulations regarding development of
single family subdivisions in agriculturally designated areas. The resulting special regulations
require use of the PD process and a layout of the lots or homesites that "clusters" homesites in a
manner that provides large remaining areas of open space (used for agricultural or preservation of
natural features). Therefore, the LDRs limit the maximum lot or homesite size to 1 acre, with
remaining areas designated as open space. Lot or homesite clustering also preserves the ability for
future development of the overall property if, in the future, the comprehensive plan is changed and
the property is re -designated for residential development.
Clustering can be accomplished in different ways. One approvable concept clusters the lots in a
more standard subdivision layout of 1 acre or smaller lots and creates 1 large tract which could be
separately owned and limited to open space (agricultural or preservation) uses until such time as the
land may be re -designated. Another approvable clustering concept creates "5 acre" tracts, each with
a designated buildable lot area (homesite). Such tracts can be laid out so as to cluster the buildable
lot area in close proximity to one another or in close proximity to a land feature or roadway. Under
such a design, each 5 acre tract could be individually owned. Clustering the buildable lot areas along
the project's roadway has been used in the design of the proposed Paddock Subdivision, and was
also used in the Pomelo, Lateral A, and Trails End projects approved during the past few years.

OPD Project Process
As a PD project, the process involved in review and approval of this proposal is as follows:
Approval Needed
1. Conceptual Plan/Special Exception
2. Preliminary PD Plat/Plan
3. Land Development Permits or Waiver
4. Final PD (plat)
Reviewing Body
PZC & BCC
PZC (Note: approved on April 23, 1998
subject to the Board granting the special
exception use request.)
Staff
BCC
The applicant is now requesting Board approval of the conceptual plan and special exception use.
If Board approval is granted, then the preliminary plat/plan approval granted by the Planning and
Zoning Commission will become effective and the applicant will need to obtain a land development
permit or LDP waiver for required PD improvements.
•Planning and Zoning Commission Consideration
At its regular meeting of April 23, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 to approve
the preliminary plat/plan and recommend that the Board of County Commissioners grant the special
exception use request. The Board of County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness and
compatibility of the proposed special exception use request, and approve, approve with conditions,
or deny the use request. The Board may attach any conditions deemed appropriate to mitigate
impacts of the proposed project. The Planning and Zoning Commission's approval of the
preliminary plat/plan will become effective upon Board approval of the special exception use
request.
1. Size of PD Area: 33.59 acres (including access easement)
2. Zoning Classification: A-1, Agricultural (up to 1 unit per 5 acres)
3. Land Use Designation: AG -1, Agricultural (up to 1 unit per 5 acres)
4. Density: .208 units per acre (1 unit per 4.79 acres or 208,652+ sq. ft.)
Note: The county's LDRs recognize that many tracts within the county have previously
dedicated property for canal and road rights-of-way. Therefore, the minimum parcel size m
the A-1 zoning district is 200,000 square feet or 4.59 acres, so that a tract originally
consisting of 20 acres can be developed with 4 units.
5. Minimum Tract Size: Required: 200,000 sq. ft.
Smallest Proposed Tract: 201,738 sq. ft.
Largest Proposed Tract: 213,011 sq. ft.
6. Maximum Lot/Homesite Area: Allowed: 1 acre
Proposed: 1 acre
May 12, 1998
44
•
7. Traffic Circulation: Access to 66' Avenue for all seven tracts will be via the subdivision's
roadway, proposed as a single cul-de-sac along the southern boundary of the project. The
road will be constructed as a stabilized unpaved road within a 60' private road right-of-way.
The LDRs allow such a road to be unpaved, since the subdivision is private, generates less
than 100 daily trips, and is located outside the Urban Service Area. The traffic engineering
division has reviewed and approved the roadway layout.
8. Stormwater Management: The public works department has reviewed and approved a
conceptual stormwater plan. A detailed engineering stormwater plan will be reviewed and
approved as part of the land development permit or permit waiver process.
9. Utilities: The project will have on-site well and septic tanks for each tract. These utility
provisions have been approved by the Utility Services and Environmental Health
Departments.
10. Dedications & Improvements: The existing 66' Avenue right-of-way is currently 50', less
than the minimum 60' local roadway requirement. Therefore, 5' of additional 661' Avenue
right-of-way is required from the site without compensation. The ultimate road right-of-way
width for 661 Avenue is 136'. However, the Public Works Director has indicated that the
county does not want to purchase any of the additional 38' of 661h Avenue right-of-way that
may ultimately be needed from the site. Prior to the issuance of a land development permit
(LDP) or LDP waiver, the applicant shall dedicate without compensation 5' of 661 Avenue
right-of-way from the site.
Since the proposed development is a low traffic generator/attractor and is outside of the
Urban Service Area, the applicant is not required to provide sidewalks or bikeways.
11. Concurrency: The applicant has obtained a conditional concurrency certificate which
satisfies concurrency requirements related to the special exception use and preliminary PD
plan/plat requests. Therefore, all concurrency requirements related to special exception use
and preliminary PD plan/plat approval have been satisfied.
12. Environmental Issues: Since the site is over 5 acres, the native upland set-aside
requirements of section 929.05 potentially could apply. However, based upon an inspection
of the site by the county's environmental planning staff, staff has determined that no native
upland habitat exist on the site. Therefore, no native upland habitat preservation
requirements apply.
13. Waivers: The applicant is not requesting any waivers through the PD process.
14. Buffers and Setbacks: Given that the surrounding area is presently used for agricultural
purposes, no special buffering is. required under the planned development LDRs. Since the
A-1 district minimum 30' setback exceeds the 25' perimeter PD setback, the 30'A-1 district
setback will control. Although no specific agriculturetresidential buffers apply, the plan
proposes a minimum distance of 50' from any building envelope to any adjacent property
with an active agricultural operation.
The proposed location of the project's roadway creates a situation for double frontage lots
for the property immediately south of the project. While LDR section 915.16 does not
require a perimeter buffer, a double frontage buffer could be required along the southern
boundary if properties south of the road are not allowed to access the road [reference LDR
sections 913.09(6)(c)5 and 913.09(3)(c)5]. However, as allowed by LDR section
May 12, 1998
45
•
913.09(3xc)1., the double frontage buffer is not requiredwhere the adjacent double frontage
property is provided access to the newly created right-of-way. Therefore, the applicant will
either need to provide a double frontage buffer meeting the requirements of LDR section
913.09(3)(c)5 or dedicate the roadway in a manner that will provide legal access to the
properties to the south. The applicant has indicated that right-of-way access will be granted
to the adjacent properties to the south. Staff has no objection to this proposal provided that,
via the final plat, the applicant provides the adjacent property owners to the south with legal
rights to use the proposed subdivision road for future development. Alternatively, the
applicant may provide for a double frontage buffer prior to final plat approval.
15. Caribbean Fruit Fly Host Plant: The county has now addressed this issue in its recently
adopted comprehensive plan policies. Those policies prohibit host plants in agricultural
areas. To ensure this prohibition is implemented prior to final plat approval, the applicant
shall submit a host plant prohibition covenant and restriction for staff review. Said covenant
and restriction shall be recorded prior to or concurrent with recording of the final plat.
16. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning:
North: Groves, Single Family/A-1
South: Groves/A-1
East: 66* Avenue, Groves/A-1
West: Groves/A-1
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners grant PD
special exception use approval, with the following conditions:
1. Prior to the issuance of the project's land development permit (LDP) or LDP waiver, the
applicant shall either commit to providing final plat dedication language that grants the
adjacent property owner to the south the use of the proposed subdivision road for future
development or shall depict a double frontage buffer on the LDP, and install the buffer prior
to final plat approval.
2. Prior to final approval, the applicant shall obtain staff approval of a covenant and restriction
that prohibits Caribbean fruit fly host plants on site. Said covenant and restriction shall be
recorded prior to or concurrent with the recording of the final plat.
3. Via the final plat, the applicant shall dedicate to the county without compensation 5' of
additional 66* Avenue right-of-way from the site.

C
U
FROM: Ter 'Brien, istant County Attorney
DATE: May 6, 1998
SUBJECT: Public Hearing, May 12, 1998
Adoption of Latest Edition of National Electrical Code (NEC)
The Board of County Commission at its regular meeting of April 28, 1998 authorized
staff to set a public hearing to amend the subject code. The Indian River County Code
contains a number of standard building codes. These codes are updated from time to
time. The NEC has been updated with the latest edition being 1996. The current
Indian River County Code specifies the 1990 NEC. In order to maintain a good
insurance rating for county construction the 1996 edition should be adopted.
A proposed ordinance is attached which, if adopted, will update the County's Code to
reflect the NEC 1996.
Building Division Director Ester Rymer advised that staff recommends approval and
stated reasons for adopting the latest edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Staff
has placed a notice in the electrical supply businesses and, through word of mouth, told the
electrical contractors on construction projects. She has received no negative feedback to date
and adoption is being supported by the local electrical contractors.
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.

1998 and a Letter of May 8, 1998:
May 12, 1998

•
Date: May 1, 1998
To: Honorable Board of County Commissioners
Thru: James E. Chandler
County Administrator
From: H.T. "Sonny" Dean, Direct r
Department of General Services
Subject: County Owned Property (Former Youth Manor Site) - Request for Use
BACKGROUND:
The County owns property at 6580 U.S. 1 which consists of approximately four (4) acres of land and a
dwelling type structure of about 3,000 square feet. This property was obtained from the School District
in conjunction with land Fire Station Five is located on. It is the former Youth Manor Site which was
leased by the Exchange Home of Indian River County in 1981. This lease was canceled by the Board of
County Commissioners in April of this year upon request of the lessee.
Recently requests from two non-profit organizations, Sun -Up and Children's Home Society, have been
received to obtain a lease for the subject property to operate their respective programs. Staff requested
information from each entity to learn more about the organizations and their ability to sustain their cause.
The following is a summary of the requested information:
1. Organization's Mission Statement:
Sun -Un - To establish a permanent "Home -Away -From -Home" for the mentally and physically
handicapped young adults of Indian River, where all individuals are treated with dignity and
respect and where all receive the support necessary to succeed.
Children's Home Society -The Children's Home Society of Florida responds to the unique needs
of children and is committed to the fulfillment of every child's right to a stable living environment
and the opportunity for healthy family development.
2. Registered non-profit organization as defined under state law:
Sun -UD - Yes - Registered with State of Florida
Children's Home Society - Yes - Registered with State of Florida
3. Do you receive operational funds from the IRC Board of County Commissioners:
Sun -Up - No funds received from IRC nor from any other local agency, i.e., United Way.
Children's Home Societv - No fiords received from IRC.
4. Length of time Organization has been in operation:
Sun -Up - Since April, 1994.
Children's Home Society - Has been in operation in Florida since 1902. The Treasure Coast
Division encompasses Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Martin and Indian River Counties.
5. Number of persons on staff and the number of clients enrolled in your program in Indian
River County:
May 12, 1998
53
•
EO�K t) oZ3 F-nL52r f
Sun -Un - Is currently in existence because of volunteers and since there is no existing facility, we
are not servicing any clients at this time. There is a semi-monthly social program and there are
approximately twenty-four (24) individuals in attendance at this program, a small percentage of
those in need of a permanent facility. ,
Children's Home Society - There are currently ten individuals on the total staff encompassing these
programs: Child Protection Team, Family Builders, Prevention and Parent Education and Children
in Need of Services/Families in Need Services. Currently we serve 485 clients in these programs
in Indian River County.
6. Number of clients served who are not citizens of Indian River County:
Sun -Un - All those in attendance at our semi-monthly sessions are residents of Indian River
County.
Children's Home Society - The 485 clients listed above are all from (residing in) Indian River
County. In addition, the Children's Home Society serves approximately eight -seven youth and
their families in the Wave CREST Runaway Shelter in St. Lucie County. Although this program
is located in St Lucie County, the program serves the four counties in the District 15 service area,
which includes a sizeable number of youth from Indian River County.
We have determined that this is a cost effective way for all counties included, to provide this
needed service.
The Proposed Program will be a group home for teens, which may include unwed mothers. The
program has the capacity to serve twelve youth at a time for a period of six to eighteen months.
Preference will be given to youth from Indian River County, however, treatment will be provided
for youth from Martin, Okeechobee or St Lucie counties. Again the cost sharing strategy provides
a needed service for the District, takes care of local youth and does not burden any one county for
the entire cost
7. Main source of funding:
Sun -Un - As of this date, our main source of funding is golf tournaments, fashion shows, bridge
parties and varies other fund raisers. In addition, all prospective residents of this home have
personal income in addition to full medical insurance and job income, if employed.
Children's Home Society - The main source of funding is through State contracts. The majority
of our funding is through the Department of Children and Families and the Department of Juvenile
Justice. Other revenue is from the county Children's Services Councils (Martin, Okeechobee and
St. Lucie) and from the United Way in each of the four counties. Indian River United Way
contributes $33,000.
The funding for the proposed Group Home will be provided by the Department of Children and
Families. An outline of all the Children's Home Society's contracts are provided as an attachment.
8. Show proof of resources to renovate sit and meet all applicable codes:
San -UD - Presently have a total $151,940 cash monies on deposit for use on this project
Children's Home Society - Have a commitment from the Department of Children and Families to
adequately fund the program. (see attachment). Additionally, the CHS has $25,000 to invest in a
fire alarm system, etc. Also have already received a donation of 2200 square feet of new carpet
and will continue to generate community support.
The Wave CREST Shelter in St Lucie County has consistently passed all state and local
inspections in the past six years.
May 12, 1998

I
9. Terms and length of lease sought:
Sun -UD - Either a forty or By year lease of property, with the sole purpose of enhancing the
buildings and grounds to make this the "Home -Away -From -Home" that we desperately need for
these Indian River Handicapped your adults who are currently living with elderly parents here in
the County.
Children's Home Society - Seeks to obtain the legal title to the property, with the inclusion of a
"return clause" returning the property to the County in the event the CHS terminates this program
and is unable to operate a similarly structure program at this location. It sis the CHS's intent to
operate a Residential Group Home. This will allow the CHS to seek grant funds for property
improvements, etc. If this is not possible, the CHS seeks to have a long term lease for at least 40
years at $1.00 per year.
10. Contact person for communications with Indian River County Officials:
Sun -Un - Pat Skalacki, President
Children's Home Society - Amanda McGee, Executive Director
11. State ability to maintain facilities including the grounds.
SM.:U - There will be a steady income from the residents, but there also has been an enthusiastic
involvement within the community committing to manual labor of the grounds, building, etc. In
addition, many of the residents will participate to the best of their ability to help maintain "their
home".
Children's Home Society - An observation of the Wave CREST Shelter demonstrates our ability
to maintain a safe, successful and attractive facility.
Staff has inspected the property in an effort to ascertain condition, security and get an idea as to what will
be needed to bring it back up to standard and maintain it over the long run. The buildings are in good
condition but will require some renovation funds along with a lot of labor to make it liveable, depending
on the intended use. The grounds are in poor condition which will require a great deal of labor to rejuvenate
and maintain them
There are certain local and state code requirements that are applicable to either one of the applicants
requesting a lease for their intended programs. This would include a very sophisticated fire and security
alarm system to protect the clients and other inhabitants. Staff was not able to determine cost associated
with these requirements.
ANALYSIS•
In reviewing the responses received from the two entities requesting a lease, it appears the Children's
Home Society is more familiar with what is required to operate and maintain a facility as specified They
have also indicated a source that will adequately fund the renovations, bring the facilities up to compliance,
and to operate the intended program.
Sun -Up has specified a similar program and a organization that is willing to put forth an effort to provide
the necessary funding. They have indicated their dollars will come from donations and fund raising
projects. Sun -Up did not famish data that indicates their knowledge of costs related to renovations,
operations and maintenance. Information was not provided as to their experience in operating such a facility
and meet all requirements of State and local authorities.
May 12, 1998

RECOMMENDATION:
Based only on the information submitted by the two applicants, staff feels the Children's Home Society
should be granted a lease of the subject property. However, it is also the recommendation that the lease
be for ten years and a clause be in the contract for automatic cancellation of the lease if the facility is not
in operation with the specified program within six (6) months from the date of execution of said lease.
'liiere will be no extension of the lease after the six months if this requirement is not met. Should CHS fail,
staff recommends a similar lease be granted Sun -Up.

Dear Mr. Dean:
Pursuant to our conversation today, this letter will confirm the
recent decision of Sun-Up's Board of Directors to withdraw their
application for the lease of the former Youth Manor property.
It was the Board's feeling that this property would only act as a
temporary facility for the handicapped young adults of Indian
River and, therefore, we must focus our efforts on a location
which will be able to accommodate these individuals for a
"lifetime" of care.
I wish to thank you and the commissioners for their consideration
of our application as well as the courtesies extended to us
during our visits with the individual commissioners.
Sincerely,
Pat Skalackf
President

Director Dean stated that the last sentence of the Recommendation in the
Memorandum should be deleted in light of the withdrawal of Sun -Up. In response to
Commissioner Eggert's inquiry, he confirmed that this was satisfactory to Children's Home
Society.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved a 10 -
year lease for the property at 6580 U.S. 1 to Children's Home
Society with a clause for automatic cancellation of the lease (no
additional extension) if the facility is not in operation with the
specified program within six (6) months from the date of
execution of the lease, as recommended by staff in the

BACKGROUND
The Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) is encasing a
drainage canal located on 16"' Street, between 3rd Court and 6`h
Avenue (see attached location map). There are three.(3) existing
6" diameter water main canal crossings that are in conflict with
the proposed drainage pipe. In addition, there are possibly up to
fourteen (14) locations where drainage lateral pipes may be in
conflict with existing 2 ;1", 3" and 6" diameter water and force
mains. The DOT's design consultant, Dames & Moore has requested
the Utilities Department to coordinate relocating the conflicts
with their drainage contractor, once construction begins around
the first part of July (see attached letter to Mr. James Davis,
dated November 13, 1997).
On September 21, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners approved
the award of the Labor Contract (Bid No. 4007) to Driveways, Inc.
(See attached meeting minutes for contract renewal). The
Department of Utility Services requests that the Board of County
Commissioners approve the attached contract with Driveways, Inc.
to relocate the conflicting facilities away from the proposed
drainage facilities.
ANALYSIS
Two of the three 6" water main crossings in conflict with the
proposed drainage pipe will be replaced with one 10" DIP section
constructed around the proposed drainage pipe. The other 6" water
main crossing will be replaced with a 6" DIP section constructed
around the proposed drainage pipe. Each of the fourteen (14)
forcemain crossings will be rerouted around the drainage laterals
as conflicts are identified by the drainage contractor.
Driveways, Inc. has estimated that the labor portion of relocating
the various water and force mains will be as high as $48,040.54
(assuming all 14 force main crossings have to be rerouted). The
estimated total cost to relocate the facilities is $78,430.58.
This includes $17,623.62 for material, a 10% contingency of
$6,566.42 and $6,200.00 for engineering, inspects -ns and
administrative cost (see attached cost estimates). The labor
portion of this project has been estimated relatively high due to
hardship conditions associated with cap rock known to be in the
area. All engineering and admininstrative services will be done
in-house. Funding for the project will be obtained from Fund No.
471.
RECOMMENDATION
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that
the Board of County Commissioners authorize the purchase of
material from U.S. Filter/Davis Meter, approve the contract with
Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $48,040.54, and authorize the
Chairman to execute same, as presented.

US -95 -23 -DC, REJECTION OF BIDS
On October 21, 1997, the Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to proceed with the
bidding and construction of the Central Region Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion project.
(See attached copy of agenda item and minutes). Since that time, the Department of Utility
Services' staff engineers have finalized the design for the Central Region Wastewater Treatment
Plant and on March 4, 1998, began the bid process. Bids were opened on April 15, 1998, and the
results of the bid process were as follows.
May 12, 1998
.0
•
The original base design for the project was $10.6 million, $9.2 million for option one. As a
result of effluent treatment requirements for future wet weather discharge into the Wetlands and
a high level of confidence that the base design amount could be achieved, only the base design
of the two possible bid scenarios in the October agenda item was bid. The bids received are as
follows:
WPC, Inc.
Indian River Industrial
Adams Robinson
Milmer Construction
Danis
Wharton Smith, Inc.
Poole & Kent
R.J. Sullivan
$10,954,800.00
$12,341,250.00
$12,687,000.00
$12,688,000.00
$13,100,000.00
$13,172,000.00
$13,233,000.00
$13,744,000.00
The low bidder, WPC, Inc., has demonstrated that an error occurred in his bid and has withdrawn
his bid. This makes the low bid $12,341,250.00, which is $1,741,250.00 more than the base
design estimate. (Please refer to the attached evaluation letter.)
Meetings have been held between the Consultant, operations staff and the Department
management to consider alternatives to the current bid proposal. Several strategies have
emerged, among them the deferment of certain improvements, bid format restructuring, extended
construction time periods, and the removal of most sole -source. items to encourage full
competition between vendors.
•
Staff is confident that a re -bid of the project can approach the budgeted $10.6 million. The cost
of re -bidding will not exceed $10,000.00 and will be included as Amendment No. 2 to the
existing work authorization approved on November 14, 1995. Amendment No. 1, to add
automated effluent control elements, was approved on July 8, 1997. (See attached copy of
agenda item and minutes)
Options:
1. Award to apparent low bidder, Indian River Industrial, the contract amount of
$12,341,250.00 and negotiate a change order for a reduction after award.
2. Reject all bids and proceed with re -bid, as quickly as possible.
The staff of the Department of Utility Services with concurrence from the Purchasing
Department recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve Option No. 2, Reject
all bids and proceed with re -bid, as quickly as possible, and authorize the Chairman to execute
Addendum No. 2 to the November 14, 1995 contract with Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc., for re-
bid services, not to exceed $10,000.00.

Re: Indian River County
Central Region Wastewater Treatment Plant
Proposal for Rebidding Services - Amendment No. 2
Project No. 6706-13899-070
Dear Mr. McCain:
We are pleased to submit the enclosed proposal for rebidding services for the above
referenced project. These services will be an amendment to the Work Authorization
dated November 14, 1995.
The Central Region WWTP Expansion project was advertised and received bids from
contractors on April 15, 1998. The low bidder withdrew their bid on April 16, 1998 due
to a mathematical error in bid preparation. The next lowest bidder on the project was
$12.3 million.
Bond funds available for the project are only $10.6 million. CDM and County staff have
reviewed and value engineered the project to enable the County to construct the
necessary expansion with reduction of estimated project construction costs below
available funds. Rebidding the project will enable the County to realize the true savings
of the project modifications in a competitive environment rather than negotiations with
only one contractor.
Additional services required to rebid the project include preparation of an addendum
reflecting the modifications to reduce project costs, maintain a record of prospective
bidders for the project, receive and process non-refundable deposits for bidding
documents, provide interpretation or clarifications of the project plans, specifications
and bidding documents and review of bids when received including subcontractors,
alternate suppliers and references.
If there are any questions regarding the proposed amendment or the cost breakdown,
please contact this office.

MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED
BY Commissioner Ginn, to approve staff's recommendation
(Reject all bids and proceed with re -bid, as quickly as possible,
and authorize the Chairman to execute Addendum No. 2 to the
November 14, 1995 contract with Camp Dresser and McKee,
Inc. for re -bid services in an amount not -to -exceed $10,1000.)
Commissioner Adams was not opposed to rebidding, but to paying CDM an additional
$10,000 to do it. She wanted to know why an additional cost.
Larry Adams, a representative from Camp Dresser and McKee, advised that they will
be preparing a major Addendum to the original bid documents as well as re -issue the
Addendum to the contractors and answer questions.
Commissioner Adams was concerned as to why the first set of bids was too high, and
Mr. Adams believed that the construction industry viewed some of the items to be more
costly than CDM had estimated. He stated that CDM's job is to estimate costs, not estimate
bids; there are many factors that influence bids. He thought their estimate was within 10%
of the low bid; they would have liked to have been at the second or third low bid. They got
together with County staff to look at various ways to bring it down in order to have a project
more within the target amount that the County had budgeted.
In response to Commissioner Adams' inquiry, Capital Projects Engineer William F.
McCain, P.E. advised that $656,500 was the amount already paid out to CDM for design

of this project.
Utilities Department Director Don Hubbs advised that since the bids were opened on
April 15'. they tried to state in the agenda item some strategies which emerged from the
post -bid experience. Those strategies are included in the Memorandum above. The intent
is to make sure there is a competitive bid. In the pre-bid conference, there was a sense that
there would be some elements or factors in the proposed construction that would be pricey,
so it was not a big surprise that the bids came in high. He was confident it was a good design
and that the next set of bids would be more in keeping with the budgeted amount. Because
they were clustered closely, it meant that the construction documents.were clear and that the
contractors knew what they were bidding on.
Commissioner Adams inquired the cost of the rebid if it were done in-house, and
Director Hubbs responded that would be an engineer -of -record's function. He would not
recommend trying to do it in-house.
Commissioner Ginn liked the strategies that were developed and thought they should
result in cost savings.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
passed unanimously.

June 1.
James Foody, general. manager
of TO Cablevision of the Treasure
Coast, said the largest contributor:
to cable rate hikes has been the in-:
creased cost of programming.
Expanded service costs more.
because it provides expensive pro-
gramming, like ESPN.
Expenses like player salary in-
creases trickle down to cable com-
panies, Foody said.
"First it costs the guy watching
the event in the stands but eventu-.
ally it reaches the guy sitting at'
home," he said. "We're the end
provider."
In reference to the above newspaper article concerning TCI's rate increase, Vice
Chairman Macht stated he had a big objection to paying this increase. He thought there
should be a separate channel charge and that the general viewers should not be saddled with
paying the salaries of high-priced athletes.
County Attorney Vitunac advised that next March there will be no more regulations
on telecommunications, NATOA, of which we are a member, is revisiting the issue again
with Senate help. There is such an uproar from the people, that the matter is going to be
looked at again at NATOA.

13.B.2. VICE CHAIRMAN MRCHT - NATOA TRAVEL APPROVED
County Attorney Vitunac's statement (above) reminded Vice Chairman Macht that
there is an invitation to go to the NATOA conference to report those things. If the Board of
County Commissioners agree or will authorize the trip by a Commissioner and staff to that,
maybe those things can be addressed with some degree of success.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED
by Commissioner Ginn, to add the matter to the agenda and
approve travel for a Commissioner and staff, as mentioned.
County Attorney Vitunac stated he would like to be the staff to go with Vice
Chairman Macht, if the Board did not mind. It is in his budget.
Administrator Chandler advised that this had been budgeted for Terry Smith of the
Telecommunications Division.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously.

proposed ordinance has been drawn up by the County Attorney's Office and the people have
selected the name Douglas Subdivision, which would be named for Frederick Douglass, the
famous orator. She requested that a public hearing be scheduled to consider this ordinance.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED

Under discussion, Vice Chairman Macht knew of the Douglas School but did not
know of the relationship to Frederick Douglass. He was a great admirer of Frederick
Douglass and was a collector of his writings and speeches. He felt he was one of the most
remarkable men in the history of the human race, yet so little known.
Commissioner Adams had learned some of the history of the school and the man
recently from Catherine Wilson at the school. She asked if Vice Chairman Macht would be
willing to share some of his collection.
Vice Chairman Macht advised that he would bring in some of the literature. He had
visited Mr. Douglass' home in Washington, D.C. and gave some history on Mr. Douglass.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
passed unanimously.

to the City of Vero Beach for the same purpose.
