4. Work Order No. 10 to Geosyntec for Continuation of Brownfield
Assessment Work for the Former South Gifford Road Landfill Site
(memorandum dated August 7, 2014)
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke provided background and
analysis on the "Brownfields Site Assessment South Gifford Road
Landfill" report that was compiled by Geosyntec Consultants, Inc. He
reported that there are 25 County -owned acres remaining to be
assessed for environmental conditions, and relayed the support of the
Gifford Progressive Civic League (GPCL) for the Board to have the
consultant undertake the additional work. He explained that the
Board could choose to wait for future funding from the Treasure

Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), or authorize Geosyntec's
investigation of the remaining County -owned property by approving
Work Order No. 10. He also asked that a copy of Geosyntec's report
be put on the County's website.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, SECONDED by
Commissioner Solari, to: (1) approve and authorize the Chairman to
execute Work Order No. 10 authorizing Geosyntec Consultants, Inc.
to provide continuation of the Brownfields assessment work for the
Former Gifford Road Landfill for a not -to -exceed fee of $81,079; and
(2) to publish the electronic "Brownfields Site Assessment South
Gifford Road Landfill" report on the County's website.
A brief discussion ensued about whether toxins discovered at the
subject site would prevent future redevelopment of the site for
community/recreational use.
Althea McKenzie opined that enough research has already been done
determining that the former Gifford Road Landfill site is
contaminated and did not understand the need to further expend
monies. She also questioned the safety of possible future
redevelopment of the site for recreational uses.
(Clerk's Note: Commissioner Zorc exited the meeting at 2:45 p.m.)
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 4-0 vote
(Commissioner Zorc absent), the Motion carried.
