action However, with the support of the Commission, through the Substance Abuse and Trust
Fund, the Drug Court was started and has continued to be very successful. Since Judge Cox
returned to the County, she has been working in Family Court's Domestic Violence Department
She travels to St. Lucie County (the model Mental Health Court) once a week to handle the Mental
Health Court, where substance abuse and mental health are growing concerns; and due to the lack
of funding, local County jails and prisons have become the largest mental health providers for the
mentally ill. She said her mission is to initiate and help support the community in addressing this
problem. Judge Cox addressed two Grant opportunities that the County could apply for, and
promised to provide them with more information at a later date.

IMPROVEMENTS - 82" AVE TO I-95
Chairman Davis voiced concerns to the delays associated with the contractor
(Community Asphalt) completing the road work, and the fees that might be passed on to the
County if the utility work is not completed within the 90 -day timeframe.
Utilities Director Erik Olson explained that the contractor was working in the last of
three phases, and conveyed that the Utilities Department had imposed the 90 -day time element to
the project to provide a 45 -day cushion. He pointed out that the Florida Department of
Transportation's portion of the project would begin the end of June or early July, and did not
believe this would become an issue.

Community Development Director Bob Keating explained that the Federal
Government is providing money through the State for communities with a high number of
foreclosures. He said that about six to eight weeks ago, the Board gave authorization to solicit
consultants to administer the Grant for the County, and that this is the request for the proposal
process. He announced that the two top-ranked consultants were close in their costs, and the third
consultant was significantly higher. Director Keating said that staff would be negotiating a price
with the top-ranked consultant, and that he would be coming back to the Board in March with a
contract. He said the maximum amount of the Grant is $4.6 million, of which 6.8% could be used
for administrative cost; yet the initial estimate of costs from the two top ranked consultants ranged
from 4.3 to 4.5%.
Commissioner Solari and Director Keating debated the cost information, and
discussed the negotiation process.
Administrator Baird said that staff's intention was to inform the Board of the
consultant's final ranking and to let them know that this would be brought back (with more
funding information) at a later date.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Solan, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously approved
the Consultant Selection Committee's prioritization list and
authorized staff to begin contract negotiations starting with
the number one ranked firm as recommended in the
memorandum of February 2, 2009.

8.K. FOLLOW-UP REPORT ON STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SUBMERGED
LANDS LEASE OR REMOVAL OF STRUCTURES FROM BOAT CLUB
ISLAND (FOLLOW-UP TO 12/16/08 BOARD ITEM)
Commissioner O'Bryan recalled this matter coming before the Board earlier, and
said that in order to repair the docks and make them functional for the recreational boating
community, the State requested the County apply for a submerged lands lease, which would
become an expensive process. He said that staff understood .that the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) would work with us on an alternate format; however, the State
DEP office in Orlando informed us that they do not want to work with Indian River County; and if
these structures are not removed we would be deemed to be engaged in an act of trespass.
Commissioner O'Bryan believed it was necessary to write to Mike Haridopolos, Ken Pruitt, Ralph
Poppell, and Debbie Mayfield, asking them to speak with the DEP, and to work with us to get this
accomplished.
Chairman Davis said that if the Motion passes, he would gather input from the
Commissioners and draft a letter (with the assistance of staff and the Legal Department).
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by
Commissioner Solan, the Board unanimously agreed to
TABLE this item; and for Chairman Davis to send letters to
Senators Mike Haridopolos, Ken Pruitt, Ralph Poppell, and
Debbie Mayfield informing them of the lack of cooperation
from the Submerged Lands and Environmental Resources
Program of the State Department of Environmental
Protection in requiring the removal of public docks.

11.A. 2009 INDL4N RIVER ROWING CLUB AND SEBASTIAN RIVER HIGH
SCHOOL CREW REGATTA
County Admmistrator Joe Baird informed the Board that he had received a request
from the Sebastian River High School Crew Regatta, wanting the rental fees for County equipment
waived. He voiced concern with the staff labor involved in erecting the canopy; the increasing
number of requests; overtime for weekend work; and insurance issues.
Chairman Davis believed that waiving the fees would: (1) help the organizations
when they are trying to raise money; (2) bring people into the community; (3) allow people to
spend money; and (4) outweigh any costs associated therewith.

Vice Chairman Flescher felt the County should contribute the equipment and defray
the set up costs for nonprofit organizations. He thought this would be a continuing concern, and
suggested that in the future, staff discuss this with the Sheriff to see if the County could encompass
inmate assistance to defray the cost of setting up the equipment.
•
Administrator Baird noted that the location for the event is not in Indian River
County.
Chairman Davis acknowledged that the location is about 50 feet on the other side of
the C-54 Brevard/Indian River County line.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher,
SECONDED by Chairman Davis, to approve waiving or
reducing the standard rental fees for the use of County
equipment.
Commissioner Wheeler acknowledged the contribution to nonprofits to be a good
thing but he wanted to deal with this issue realistically, or enforce the current policy of charging a
rental fee, and giving nonprofits a discount.
•
Commissioner Solari agreed with Commissioner Wheeler and sought clarification
as to what equipment was requested.
There was a brief discussion regarding rental fees and cost factors.
Vice Chairman Flescher believed this should be brought back for review.

Commissioner O'Bryan recognized the need to provide support to the nonprofits
during the current economic times, yet he felt concern for the Parks and Recreation Department
because they continue to witness fees being waived, and hear about possible layoffs — he wanted
assurance that all costs would be covered. He did not believe that the Rowing Club event, held 50
feet on the Brevard side of the County line, would be an issue. He echoed Commissioner
Wheeler's thoughts regarding the implementation of a policy and enforcing it; and he voiced
concerns over subsidizing the nonprofits with taxpayer dollars. Commissioner O'Bryan suggested
the Rowing Club (since they do not have their 501C3 status), as a compromise, pay the nonprofit
rate of $300 instead of $600, which could cover the overtime cost for weekend work.
Jim Ritenour, 7250 49th Street, Vero Beach, explained the Rowing Club program,
how funding is raised, and acknowledged it to be non -funded. He expressed the Club's desire to
make this event so prestigious that the schools who did not attend would hear about the event and
want to come next year. He hopes that the event will become a two-day event; and he shared how
the event would bring in money to the County.
There was a brief discussion among the Commissioners regarding this one -day
event growing into a two-day event; revenue it would bring into the County; and possibly funding
these events through the Tourist Development Council (TDC) Budget.
Andrew Kennedy, 3001 Ocean Drive, Proctor Properties, expressed what a
fantastic opportunity this would be, and was happy to hear that the property would be used for its
intended purpose, so he and his colleagues agreed to cover the $300 rental fee.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and by a vote -
of 2-3 (Commissioners O'Bryan, Wheeler, and Solari
opposed), the MOTION FAILED.

regulations. He stated how staff had discussed many alternatives with Mr. Marshall; however, he
preferred using a permanent changeable copy sign, which the County currently prohibits in various
corridors for aesthetic purposes. Director Keating said that after discussing this with Mr. Marshall,
and conducting further research, staff had determined that there is a possibility for changeable
copy signs that would fit into the corridor aesthetics. He asked the Board to authorize staff to
initiate a change to the Land Development Regulation (LDR) Amendment to allow permanent
changeable copy signs in corridors.
Director Stan Boling and Director Keating responded to questions and concerns
from the Board regarding corridor signage.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher,
SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to direct staff to
initiate an LDR Amendment to allow changeable copy
signs in all designated corridor areas in the County.
Commissioner O'Bryan said he would like to see staff review the electronic version

13B. EMERGENCY ORDINANCE
County Attorney Collins recalled that at the February 5, 2009, Goals and Visions
Workshop, there was a consensus to bring forward an emergency ordinance to address the impact
of the international credit crisis on the local development community, in particular local
developers who are being turned down by banks when they request extensions of Letters of Credit
(LOC) that either support warranties of their subdivision improvements, or future sidewalk
construction. He said that the Community Development Department had drafted ordinance
amendments that would allow annual sidewalk security reductions, and also deferral of sidewalk
construction in the posting of sidewalk construction security, if certain conditions are met. A
similar amendment would allow reductions in the posting of maintenance security that could be
made at the end of year one (of the three-year warranty period) and also deferral of paving and
drainage warrant security, if certain criteria are met. He disclosed that site plan approval time
limitations have been extended from 12 months to 24 months. Due to this being an emergency
ordinance, it requires an action by a four-fifths vote, if the Board declares that an emergency exists,
•
and the immediate enactment of the ordinance is necessary. He informed the Board that the
Budget office had declared there to be approximately nine separate development projects that are
"under the gun" to have $1.1 million of security drawn on (against their LOC) within the next 30
days, which is the reason this ordinance is being brought forward. Attorney Collins suggested the
Board conduct the public hearing and consider any necessary amendments. He pointed out that if
24
February 10, 2009
8t 136 Pt 795
IN 13e se lea
the ordinance is not adopted today, it could be considered and brought back at the next meeting;
however, he wanted the Board to note that of the nine projects in the Backup, the Budget office
was scheduled to call two LOC's next Monday. He specified that the LOC's do not expire until a
week or two later so if the Board would choose not to act today, he would like them to direct the
Budget office to delay calling the LOC's until next week.
Chairman Davis believed this to be an emergency, and wanted to examine the
Backup information (copy on file).
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to TABLE the
Emergency Ordinance until the Board of County
Commission Meeting of February 17, 2009; and delay
calling the Letters of Credit as specified by Attorney
Collins.
There was a bnef discussion to postpone this item instead of tabling it.

Attorney Bruce Barkett, 756 Beachland Boulevard, expressed his appreciation for
the reception of the proposals and the timely consideration. .
Jeff Thompson, Seville Avenue, Vero Beach, was encouraged by how quickly the
Board had moved forward on this issue. He voiced concern on the second and third year of the
Maintenance Bond, feeling that they could be construed as an economic development issue. He
did not feel the Developer should have to hire an Engineer to write a letter requesting a reduction to
the Maintenance Bond from 25% to 5% he felt it should be automatic. He asked the Board to
"fine tune" these items, as they look at the big picture.
Chuck Mechling, 1999 Pointe West Drive, wanted to know if the "contractor
posting the first-year as a Maintenance Bond" concept would be incorporated into the Ordinance;
and suggested the warranty and guaranty period be reduced to one year, similar to that of Utilities.
Attorney Collins did not believe that it would be incorporated into the Ordinance;
and clarified that as of now, the Utilities warranty is for a period of one year, and the paving and
drainage warranty is for a period of three years.
Discussion ensued regarding the Ordinance; the LOC's called since the Ordinance
was created; a three-year warranty requirement to ensure roads are tested; and a one-year
renewable Bond which would be reevaluated annually.
Penny Chandler, Indian River Chamber of Commerce, expressed her appreciation
on behalf of the Chamber and business community, for the Board's partnership and individual
concerns, and for the immediacy in which they reacted to the County's economic concerns.
Joseph Paladin, President of Atlantic Coast Construction and Development,
indicated that his company had .experienced problems on sidewalk bonds over the past several

months with developers not completing the sidewalks in their subdivisions. He did not feel it
necessary to have a sidewalk LOC when there is no construction in progress, nor would there be
for the next few years. He suggested that when the first permit is pulled on a street or block (that
would affect a community) that the LOC be enacted at that time, instead of tying -up the
developer's money for numerous years. He wanted the consideration of being able to come before
the Board on a case-by-case basis.
Attorney Collins addressed Mr. Paladin's concerns.
Commissioner O'Bryan related that the wording and deferral in the draft Ordinance
had come from an earlier meeting, whereby the developer could identify the lot numbers of those
that will be deferred, and not moved forward until security is posted.
Attorney Barkett acknowledged that the Ordinance was drafted exactly as
discussed in their meeting; believed it could be tweaked forever, but encouraged the Board to pass
it next week.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION. The Board
unanimously approved to postpone the Emergency
Ordinance until the Board of County Commission Meeting
of February 17, 2009; and to delay calling the Letters of
Credit as specified by Attorney Collins.
