7.D. Addition of East Gifford Stormwater Watershed Municipal
The Board reviewed a memorandum of July 17, 2001:
TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Joseph A. Baird
Assistant County Administrato
FROM: Jason E. Brown
Budget Manager
DATE: July 17, 2001
SUBJECT: Addition of East Gifford Stormwater Watershed Municipal Service Benefit Unit
(M.S.B.U.) to the FY 2001/2002 Proposed Budget
Description and Conditions
On November 7, 2000, the Board of Commissioners adopted an ordinance establishing the East Gifford
Stormwater Watershed M.S.B.U. This M.S.B.U. will provide local funding needed to receive a state grant
for a stormwater improvement project for this area. Due to various factors regarding the timing of the
project and the defined boundaries of this district, it was not included in the proposed FY 2001/2002
budget. These factors have now been resolved, so staff is submitting a revised budget reflecting the
addition of the East Gifford Stormwater M.S.B.U. fund.

This district includes approximately 140 parcels. The proposed assessment rate for FY 2001/2002 is
$15.00 per parcel/acre, and the proposed budget for the fund is $1,995. This changes the total FY
20011'2002 budget from $190,637,165 to $190,639,160 as shown in the attached budget summary.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the addition of the East Gifford Sotrmwater M.S.B.U. to the proposed FY 2001/2002
budget and approval of the revised FY 2001/2002 budget (as attached). Staff also recommends approval
of the proposed budget and non -ad valorem assessment rate of $15.00 per parcel/acre for the East
Gifford Stormwater M.S.B.U. This results in a total proposed budget of $190,639,160, a $42.860,076 (or
18.4%) decrease from the current year budget.

SUBJECT: Interest Rate Change on All County Financing
(Petition Paving, Utility Assessment Projects, Utility Impact Fee, etc.)
Description and Conditions
Fixed interest rates charged by the County for financing utility assessments, utility impact fees, petition
paving assessments and any other financing are adjusted on an annual basis in January of each year.
On January 2, 2001, the Board of Commissioners approved an interest rate of 8.5% for calendar year
2001. Since interest rates were dropping substantially during this time period, the Board requested that
staff revisit this issue after six (6) months.
During the current calendar year, the Federal Reserve has continued to lower key interest rates. This
has resulted in a change in the prime rate from 9.5% on December 20, 2000 to 6.75% on July 16, 20011
as published in the Wall Street Journal. Past policy has been to set the County rate equal to the current
prime rate. In accordance with this policy, staff recommends adjusting the interest rate charged by the
County to 6.75%. This represents a 1.75% decrease from the current rate. The only exception to this
interest rate would be if the project was directly affiliated with a bond issue and the requirements dictated
a different interest rate.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board of Commissioners approve the proposed fixed interest rate of 6.75%
(or 6 3/4%) for the remainder of calendar year 2001. The only exception to this interest rate would be
if the project was directly affiliated with a bond issue and the requirements dictated a different interest
rate.
ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Stanbridge, SECONDED BY

RE: Request for Board Approval of a One-year Contract Extension with
FloridAffinity, Inc., for Professional Services Relating to Environmental Land
Acquisition
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 24, 2001.
113610 ON I &a a UJOKU1 1XK1101 �♦
The Board of County Commissioners, at its regular meeting on August 2, 1994, approved a 3 -veal" contract
with FlondAffinity. Inc., for environmental land acquisition and management planning services. Section 4.01
of the contract provides that the County, if desired, may renew the contract for one year periods. The County
has since renewed the contract four times (on July 15, 1997, July 21, 1998, July 20, 1999 and September
19, 2000). The July 1999 and subsequent agreement extension modified the original contract to "as needed"
terms, by specifying no monthly base fee and maximum hours per month of 75 hours (monthly fee not to
exceed 75 hours x $85 = $6,375).
Staff is now requesting that the Board renew the contract with FloridAffinity, Inc., for an additional one year
penod, under the most current agreement terms, to allow for continuing professional services assistance for
the County Environmental Lands Program.
Since the County originally contracted with FloridAffinity in August 1994, the County has succeeded in
acquiring (or obtaining approved purchase contracts for) parcels in 17 environmental project sites (-6.500
acres). Moreover, in each of those acquisitions, the County has secured cost -share funds from other agencies,
totaling more than $20 million in matching funds.
There are a number of sites under negotiation, including some with approved cost -share funding agreements
with state agencies (e.g., Oyster Bar Salt Marsh parcels), using funds still available under the first series bond
issuance (approximately $680,000, accounting for the recently approved $476,240 Fischer tract option
reimbursement) .
Staffs position is that renewal of the contract is important if the County is to complete pendm(T land
potential future) acquisitions and cost -share reimbursement "due diligence" tasks. FlondAft"niry has done
a competent job in its negotiations with property owners and in coordinating with cost -share a<_encies.
Moreover, FlondAffinity provides an important service by subcontracting and coordinatm2 due dilicence
tasks (appraisals, surveys, environmental audits) that would otherwise require the Countv to ,hire more stair
if that service was to be handled in-house. In addition, FlondAffiniry and its associates have substantiali_�
assisted the County in drafting conceptual management plans for acquired properties.
With reference to pending acquisitions, staff thinks there is a possibility that those projects will be completed
within one year. Therefore, any potential needs for further contract renewal (in 2001) will depend upon the
Board's decision on whether to extend the environmental land acquisition program beyond the first series
bond issuance and current pending acquisitions.
July 24, 2001
It was anticipated in the original 1994 contract that there would be no need to extend the contract more than
three times, which has occurred. Notwithstanding, that limitation was superceded when the County renewed
the contract last year for a fourth time, as agreed to by both the County and FloridAffinity. If the County
reaches a point within one year's time frame whereby bond funding expenditure is completed, or for any
other reason, the original contract as extended allows for the County to terminate the contract at that time.
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Board chairman to execute the
attached one-year "Extension of Agreement for Professional Services Between Indian River County and
FloridAffinity, Inc."
ATTA('AMFNTS
• Proposed "Extension of Agreement" document.
• (On file in County Planning office: original 8/18/94 contract with FloridAffinity, Inc.)
Chairman Ginn requested this item be separated from the Consent Agenda because
she was very concerned about the amount of money that has already been paid to
FloridAffinity which to date has been $696,391.70. In the new contract a monthly base fee
is not specified, just a 75 -hour maximum at $85 per hour, or $6,375 per month. She made
available for the Commissioners a printout showing the $696,391.70 payout, which she
thought to be exorbitant.
Chief Environmental Planner Roland M. DeBlois pointed out these dollars have been
paid out over seven years and that Florida Communities Trust, our most common cost -share
partner, pays for half of those costs. He explained the services that FloridAffinity performs
with regard to environmental land acquisition. Often they pay out for other services
performed by their subcontractors. Mr. DeBlois explained there is no base fee, their services
are only on an "as -needed basis." There is no base fee; the County decides when services
are needed.
Chairman Ginn wanted to receive a breakdown on the expenses from staff. She
recalled that FloridAffinity almost cost us the Flynn property through lack of attention by
missing a date and the contract had to be renegotiated. She did not want a ``competent" job,
but an "excellent'' job and she thought they had not been excellent.
July 24, 2001
1E:3
Mr. DeBlois respectfully advised there is a team approach in coordinating with
County sta±'f' an these acquisitions. He offered to research the incident W detenlline if the
blame should be placed on FloridAffinity and Chairman Ginn asked that he bring her a

Shannon's Walk subdivision is a 28 lot subdivision of a 9.72 acre parcel. The subject property is
located on the south side of 49" Street, immediately west of Lindsey Lanes Subdivision. The
property is zoned RS -6, residential single-family (up to 6 units/acre) and has an L-2, low density 2
(up to 6 units/acre), land use designation. The density of the subdivision is 2.88 units/acre.
On June 24, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Commission granted preliminary plat approval for
Shannon's Walk subdivision. The developer, Shannon's Walk Development Corp., subsequently
obtained a land development permit and has completed construction of the required subdivision
improvements. The developer is now requesting final plat approval and has submitted the following:
1. A final plat in conformance with the approved preliminary plat.
2. A certificate of completion for all required subdivision improvements.
All required subdivision improvements have been completed and the developer has obtained a
certificate of completion from Public Works certifying that all required improvements are complete
and acceptable. All subdivision improvements are privately dedicated with the exception of the
utility system, which is separately warranted through the Department of Utility Services. Therefore,
no subdivision warranty and maintenance agreement is required. All requirements of final plat
approval are satisfied.

SUBJECT: Community Baptist Church Ines Request for Special Exception Use Approval
for Expansion of an Existing Church Facility
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County
Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 24, 2001.
Mosby and Associates Inc., on behalf of Community Baptist Church, Inc., has submitted a major site
plan and special exception use application to expand an existing church facility. The subject site is
located on the east side of Roseland Road at 12534 Roseland Road. The proposed expansion is to
provide for an adult and youth activity center and gym. Because the site is zoned RS -3, Residential
Single Family (up to 3 units/acre), and the proposed expansion exceeds 10% of the existing church
floor area, special exception use approval is required for the project.
The Board of County Commissioners is to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the special
exception use request. Pursuant to Section 971.05 of the land development regulations (LDRs), the
Board of County Commissioners is to consider the appropriateness of the requested use for the
subject site and surrounding area. The county may attach reasonable conditions and safeguards
necessary to mitigate impacts and to ensure compatibility of the use with the surrounding area.
• Planning and Zoning Commission Action
At its regular meeting of June 28, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously
(6-0) to recommend that the Board approve the special exception use. Also, the Planning and Zoning
Commission approved the corresponding major site plan subject to the Board's approval of the
special exception use request. Thus, if the Board approves the request, the major site plan approval
will become effective.

Proposed: 4" spaces (stabilized)
Total 105 spaces
]Vote: Pursuant to section 954.08(4), stabilized parking is allowed for infrequent uses
like places of worship.
10. Stormwater Management: The stormwater management plan has been reviewed and
approved by the Public works Department. The proposed stormwater system will consist of
a dry retention system that is to be located north of the proposed building. The stormwater
system will outfall to a swale along Roseland Road. Prior to site plan release, the applicant
must obtain a Type "A" permit stormwater permit.
11. Utilities: The site is currently served by a well and septic tank system, and will connect to
county water and sewer services. These connections have been approved by the Department
of Health and the Department of Utility Services.
12, Landscape Plan: The
landscape plan
meets the
criteria of chapter 926 and includes a new
Type "C" buffer along
the east, south
and north
property lines.
13. Traffic Circulation: The proposed parking lot expansion will tie into the existing church
parking lot, which accesses Roseland Road via an existing two-way driveway. The internal
circulation plan has been approved by the Traffic engineering Division. It is estimated that
the proposed project will result in only a small traffic increase. Therefore, no off-site traffic
improvements are required, and none are proposed.

14. Specific Land Use Criteria for Places of Worship: The project is subject to the places of
worship specific land use criteria of Chapter 971.28(5)(d). These criteria are as follows:
a. No building or structure shall be located closer than thirty (30) feet to any property
line abutting a residential use or residentially designated property;
Note: The proposed addition will be located more than 30' from any property
boundary.
b. Access shall be from a major thoroughfare unless otherwise approved by the Public
Works Department;
Note: No new access points are proposed. The site fronts a major thoroughfare
roadway (Roseland Road), and the existing access points were approved by Public
Works under previous site plans.
C. Any accessory residential use, day care facility or school upon the premises shall
provide such additional lot area as required for such use by this section and shall
further be subject to all conditions set forth by the reviewing procedures and
standards for that particular use. Accessory residential uses may include covenants,
monasteries, rectories or parsonages as required by these regulations.
Note: No accessory residential, day care, or school uses are proposed.
d. A Type "C" buffer shall be provided along all property boundaries where the facility
is located adjacent to a single-family residentially zoned property. A Type "D" buffer
shall be provided along all property boundaries when the facility is located adjacent
to a multiple -family residentially zoned property or agriculturally zoned property
having a residential land use designation.
1. The Board of County Commissioners may waive or reduce the buffer
requirements where the place of worship is located next to an existing
cemetery, place of worship, child care facility, community center, or
school. Consideration shall be given to security, noise, and visual
impacts. Where a waiver or a buffer reduction is granted, normal
perimeter landscaping requirements shall apply, and alternative
requirements (such as fencing) may be required.
Note: A Type "C" buffer has been provided for along the north, south and east
property lines.
Based on the above analysis, the proposed project satisfies all applicable places of worship specific
land use criteria.
15. Concurrency: The project proposes uses that are accessory to the existing church, and no
increase in sanctuary space is proposed. Therefore, no concurrency is required.
16. Dedications and Improvements: The overall project area of development contains 3
existing parcels. Prior to site plan release, the applicant will need to execute and record a
unity of title to combine these 3 parcels into a single parcel.

BACKGROUND
(.in July 3, 2001, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners approved Resolutions 2001-061_
IKesolution I) and 2001-062 (Resolution 11J, which contained the preliminary assessment roll and established the
date of the public hearing for the subject project. Property owners have been notified of the public hearing by mail.
Resolution 2001-061 was published in the PRESS JOURNAL on July 9, 2001 .(See attached agenda item and cope
of- Implementation -Attachment 1)
Design of the water distribution system has been completed by staff. We are now ready to proceed with Phase III -C.
ANALYSIS
On July 12. 2001 at 7:00 p.m., an informational meeting was held for the benefit of the property owners, in the multi
—purpose room at the Pelican Island Elementary School in Sebastian.
For bidding and construction efficiency staff proposes combining Phases III -B & III -C. When the final assessment
is prepared at the completion of the two phases a single assessment roll will be prepared at an equalized rate. Staff
is now ready to proceed with Phase III -C.
Within the Phase III -C project, between Laconia & Barber Streets & between Rolling Hill's Drive & Bavfront
Terrace. there are 899 lots and approximately 414 homes, to benefit from this project. Typical platted lot sizes are
25 acre, plus or minus.
Although more effective management of project construction, inspections, cash flows. and interaction with property
owners is being accomplished by having divided Phases II and III into smaller projects staff believes that by
combining Phase III -B and III -C and perhaps combining III -D and III -E property owners will benefit and obtain a
more equalized cost. This is a result of input received at informational meetings. This may encourage more utility
construction contractors to bid on these projects possibly making the bid process more competitive. The attached
map displays the area to benefit from the assessment projects, as divided into parts A, B, C, D & E. for Phase III
(Attachment 3) This project will provide potable water and fire protection to an area noted for failing well systems.
The City of Sebastian is waiting for the completion of the water line installation in order to complete road &
drainage improvements and comply with bonding requirements.

Engineering design has been completed by the staff of the Department of Utility Services for Phase III -C and we are
now ready to begin the assessment process associated with this project, as outlined herein. A summary assessment
roll for Phase III -C is attached (Attachment 4). The full assessment roll is on file in the commission office. This
Project is to be paid through the assessment of property owners along the proposed water line route. Financing will
be from the assessment fund 473, account number 473-000-169491. If needed, inter -fund borrowing will be
available from the capacity fee fund 472. The combined estimated project cost and amount to be assessed for both
Phases III -B and III -C is $ 3,285,521.48 which is a revised cost that is less than the cost of constructing Phases III -B
and III -C separately. (Attachment -5). For Phase III -C the estimated cost per square foot is $0.221673 (rounded).
The actual assessed cost, as with any project will be determined based on actual competitive bid prices.
On June 22, 2001, a letter was sent to the City Manager, of the City of Sebastian, with a copy of a draft agenda item,
summary assessment roll and a map of the project area (Attachment 6).

The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in
this matter.
William Germann, 1338 Cownie Lane, Sebastian, felt his rights have been violated
because he was not given the opportunity to vote on this water assessment. He believed that
most everyone wants the ability to access the water, but retirees in the area will have
difficulty finding money to pay for their assessment. He thought there should be another
means of paying for it. He questioned why some areas (private developments) of Sebastian,
where the pipeline will pass, will not be assessed. He inquired why they ("big business")
were not being assessed. He pointed out that some areas of Sebastian do not have fire
hydrants, but the tanker truck used to put out their fires will use water provided by the pipes
for which he and others will be paying. This assessment will be a burden on him and others
and should be done differently.
Chairman Ginn explained how Sebastian's City Council had asked the County to
purchase their existing utility system and expand it for Sebastian. The plan for this
expansion was developed some time ago and the County is working towards fulfilling it.
Commissioner Adams explained that the issue of the private subdivisions is because
the County has no right-of-way on those private roads. Future subdivisions will be required
to hook up to County water. The continued use of septic tanks has impacted wells due to
the influx of people to the county. Unfortunately, grants are not available for the project.
She urged his help to find an easier and cheaper way to do it and cautioned that not doing
,July 2.1, 2001

it would be much more costly.
When Mr. Germann suggested a bond be issued. Assistant Administrator Bairu
explained that a bond had been issued about 5 years ago. This is the last phase of
implementation and a large customer base is needed. Sebastian could not afford to expand
the system and part of the arrangement was that the County would work on providing water
to areas in three phases. Assistant Administrator Baird also explained the lien process when
Mr. Germann spoke of fear that homes would be taken away from the owners because of a
lien and the interest accrued. He advised that the County has never foreclosed on a lien to
cause a person to lose his home.
As a native of the area, Commissioner Tippin observed that many of our citizens came
here from large cities which already had their sewers and water pipes in place. Indian River
County just started utilities with nothing in 1982; prior to that people relied on their wells
and septic tanks. The cost today is much greater than it was years ago. He felt our Utilities
Department had performed phenomenally in 18 years to have sewer and water systems
which had been created from nothing.
sewer.
Chairman Ginn asked whether new developments are required to hook up to water and
Joe Barezyk, 609 Cavern Terrace, Sebastian, explained his understanding of an
agreement which he thought occurred in 1995 between the City and the County. About 35
different locations were listed on the agreement to join in the County's water expansion.
During that time, certain sections were developed with their own streets, but, as far as can
be determined, they never gave rights-of-way. Other areas appear not to be part of the
agreement because of their location on the agreement's map outline. One issue is how water
would be obtained in the event of afire. Another issue is areas will be assessed at differing
dollar amounts per square foot (some 22¢ others 26¢ per square foot)
July 24, 2001

People cannot
understand the changing rates. They are also concerned about what would happen if the
interest on the lien were to surpass the value of the house.
Mr. Chastain advised that at the informational meeting held July 12" he had explained
the assessment process for the homeowners and how confusion can arise when the estimated
cost for this phase is compared to some final costs in a previous phase. On Phase II -C, for
example, the estimated assessment was about 20¢ per square foot, yet the final cost was just
over 17¢ per square foot. There is no question there will be hardships, but the costs for
some homeowners maintaining their well water is even greater with water conditioning
processes. Others are having to use bottled water. He did not want to mislead anyone but
calculated that it could cost as low as about $15 per month over a 10 -year period. The first
payment would not be due until one year after the anniversary date of the final assessment.
He also reminded them that, to his knowledge, the County has never foreclosed on one of
these assessment liens. That obligation would be paid to the County when the property is
sold. In addition, homeowners have a choice of connecting or maintaining their well. The
homeowner will have the same obligation as the owner of a vacant lot.
Vice Chairman Stanbridge explained that it is expected the county will be in a drought
for the next few years which will cause many wells in the Sebastian area to go dry and there
may not be water which can be located. Many people are fearful they will lose their water.
Julia Titus, 654 Cavern Terrace, Sebastian, a recent home builder, had received only
one letter regarding this assessment. She had several basic questions which were addressed
by Mr. Chastain and Commissioners. She believed providing the water was good, but
suggested the Board look into tapping into energy assistance programs for hookups. She was
sure that water, being an energy, could be provided to those in need under those programs.
She had worked in New York on energy assistance and offered her help.
Mr. Chastain offered to meet with Ms. Titus after the meeting and provide a copy of
July 24, 2001

DN' 1 6 v E17 9 3 3
the assessment letter sent to her and respond to her questions.
Commissioner Adams advised that Jovice Daugherty in the Utilities Dcpartmcnt hay
been making an effort to try to find some assistance for those who cannot pay.
Frank Zore supported comments made by Mr. Germann. He knew that many years
ago many government bodies did provide water lines at no cost to the property owners. This
idea of charging property, owners is relatively new and is to save money for the government.
Mr. Germann's point was that the County should do away with the Dodgers project and sand
pumping project and buy water lines for the people.
Commissioner Adams agreed that government has paid for water lines in the past out
of ad valorem funds, so everybody shared the cost. The Board has adopted a policy that
growth must pay for itself.
Assistant Administrator Baird pointed out that our utility has to be self-sustaining and
the County has issued bonds to purchase and expand the Sebastian system. The revenue
source of the utilities has been pledged to pay off those bonds. Utility costs have not been
paid by the ad valorem taxes because it is unfair to those who do not have water lines
available to them. It is important to understand the utilities department is a self-sustaining
enterprise fund and other funds cannot be co -mingled.
Gene Switzer, Rolling Hill Drive, Sebastian, recommended as a solution that the
Board offer the additional homestead exemption to seniors as Brevard County has done.
Commissioner Adams explained that Indian River County has adopted that additional
homestead exemption for low-income seniors.
Assistant Administrator Baird pointed out that exemption will only apply to County
taxes. the City of Sebastian would have to adopt that also for those who live within the
municipal boundaries.
County Attorney Bangel advised that the ordinance on the senior citizen homestead

exemption will be coming back to the Board in the near future.
It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the
public hearing.

experienced difficulty and asked for a County -approved 90 -day extension. He specified that
this deal had never been advertised as a public hearing and, therefore, the Board had never
received public input. He was disappointed that the Board had not called a referendum on
this important decision in spite of his petition campaign calling for one. He asked the Board
to please consider the taxpayers were never invited to speak at a public hearing about this
matter. He advised that he is putting a new petition advertisement in the newspaper; the
responses are to be mailed to a company for a tally and later given to the Board. His motive
is not to see the Dodgers leave, but it is a profitable business and they should pay their own
way. He lamented the tragic loss of the Dodgertown Golf Course which will make way for
more concrete and asphalt. (CLERK'S NOTE: Mr. Zorc's full remarks are on file with the

Penny Chandler. flecuti%e Director Chamber ofCornmercc, restated appreciation
for the Board of County Commissioners' attempt to retain the Dodgers in the community.
She challenged Mr. Zorc to work with the Board to find a way the Dodgers can stay without
the contribution from our local governments. She supported the decisions of the Board.
Ed Bamberg, 2060 55" Avenue, urged the Commissioners not to bend on this issue.
No new information has been presented. They have already made their decision and he
asked that they move on with it.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the bid be awarded to Felix Equities. Inc as the lowest most responsive and
responsible bidder meeting specifications as set forth in the Invitation to Bid, subject to a contract
being presented to the Board of County Commissioners following review by the County
Attorney's Office.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED
BY Vice Chairman Stanbridge, to approve staff's
recommendation.
Under discussion, Chairman Ginn advised that she had a problem with this and asked
if Felix Equities, Inc., is currently registered in Florida.
County Attorney Bangel advised that while their principal address is in New York,
the company is authorized to do business in Florida.
In response to Chairman Ginn's next question, Gordon Sparks, P.E. with the Utilities
Department, explained that Masteller & Moler had reviewed the bid and put the
recommendation package together, but it was sent out by Purchasing.

Commissioner Adams pointed out that the bid of Tri -Sure Corp. was within 5-10%
of fhe lmv bid and Tri -Sure has done several water installation projects for the Count\. Shc
recalled that Felix had some code enforcement problems in the past. For these reasons she
would move Tri -Sure if the first motion was withdrawn.
Chairman Ginn thought the County needed to be going to a ``2 -step bidding process'
where we evaluate the company on their past performance for the County and then open the
bids. If they do not pass the first step, they would not be included in the second step. She
advised she will be bringing that procedure back when she is able to make a motion.
Commissioner Adams has heard that Felix has done a good job in prior road paving
for us, so she did not know whether they have bid any of the County's projects directly or
if there have been any problems.
General Services Director Thomas W. Frame was not aware of any issues that may
have come up.
Vice Chairman Stanbridge recalled there had been a existing problem when Felix
took over another job; but she thought that had been corrected. She had not heard from
Public Works anything negative about their work.
Commissioner Macht was concerned about not accepting a low bid; he felt there has
to be a reason to reject the low bid. He was willing to withdraw his motion and defer a
decision to their next meeting for further research.
Commissioner Macht WITHDREW his motion; Vice Chairman
Stanbridge WITHDREW her second.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Vice
Chairman Stanbridge, the Board unanimously deferred the
matter to their next meeting. (August 7tn)

DATE:

DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS
/{I C
An additional 20 feet (20') of right-of-way is needed along the south side of Roseland Road at
126' Place, Sebastian, Florida to accommodate a sidewalk project extending from 126`h Street to
the Riverwalk Plaza in Sebastian, Florida. The owners have executed a contract at a negotiated
price of $6,607.40, which includes the land, and other terms and conditions. In addition, the
property owners will grant to County a 10 -foot (10') Temporary Construction Easement. Such
easement shall remain in affect until work is completed at the subject location.
The contract price is $6,607.40. The subject right-of-way parcel measures 20 feet by 150.27 feet,
which is 3,005.40 square feet. The purchase price for the land is $3,005.40 based on 3,005.40
square feet at $1.00 per square foot. This price per square foot is similar to that paid to other
property owners affected by this project along Roseland Road. The balance of the purchase price
is in the form of: 1) $1,502.00 for severance damage due to the proximity of the proposed right-
of-way south line to the inhabited garage apartment (16'), and, 2) $2,100.00 for site
improvements, which includes 200 feet of 6 foot high wood privacy fence to compensate for the
removal of the vegetative view and noise buffer located within the proposed 20 feet of additional
right-of-way. The adjacent property owner has submitted a signed contract (not yet submitted to
the Board due to a condition in the contract, not yet resolved) with the contingency that the
Board of County Commissioners prior to July 28, 2001 approve the Steussing contract. There are
no appraisal or attorneys fees. Other terms and conditions in the contract are as follows:
a) The $6,607.40 will be net to the seller. There will be no expenses deducted from the contract
price;
b) There will be no assessments levied against the property for the completion of this project.

Environmental Analyst
SUBJECT: Award of Contract to Han-Padron Associates
Jungle Trail Shoreline Protection
DATE: July 27, 2001
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In January 2001, RFP #3047 was issued to solicit proposals for the
design and permitting of erosion control for approximately 900 feet
of shoreline along Jungle Trail, beginning about 0.3 miles south of
SR510. Six proposals were received, and were ranked by a selection
committee. After considering the selection criteria, the committee
recommended the following prioritized short-list, which was
approved by the Board on April 10, 2001:
1. Han-Padron Associates, Tampa
2. Carter Associates, Inc., Vero Beach
3, Sea Systems Corporation, Pompano Beach
Staff has negotiated a contract with Han-Padron Associates of Tampa
in the amount of $29,390.00. This amount is $3,390.00 higher than
the $26,000.00 budgeted for this project under a cost sharing
agreement with the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND). The
alternatives are to approve the contract with Han-Padron
Associates, or to undertake contract negotiations with the next
highest ranked firm.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING
Staff recommends the approval of the co:
Associates. Funding is up to $13,000 on a
from FIND, with the County matching funds
315-214-541-067.94. The additional $3,390

Chairman Ginn advised she had a problem with Han-Padron because she has learned
that the% had not filed to re -register with the State.
Deputy County Attorney Will Collins had raised the concern that thev were not
registered in Florida and that. when contacted, they did make a filing. He thought they were
dillo.entiv trving to get reestablished to transact business in Florida as they vere a few nears
ago. He was concerned. but there is a provision in the corporations law that says that the
failure to register does not impair the validity of their contracts. He believed that this
shoreline stabilization project is going to be funded to some extent through the FIND
program and wanted to make sure not to go beyond that cycle. It is true they have not yet
gotten their paperwork squared away with the State.
Chairman Ginn still had a problem with dealing with companies like this.
Public Works Director James W. Davis advised that the selection committee had
ranked Han-Padron number one under CCNA guidelines.
Commissioner Adams recalled that the Board had in the past awarded the bid to a
local second bidder particularly if the dollar amount was close.
There was discussion about awarding the bid to the second ranked company, which
is local, and eliminating the first ranked company.
Director Davis advised that if the Board decided to do that, then staff would negotiate
a contract with the second ranked company but could not go back to the number one.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Stanbridge,
SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, to negotiate with the 42
ranked firm. (Carter Associates, Inc., Vero Beach) and
eliminate the #1 ranked (Han-Padron Associates).
July 24, 2001

In making the motion, Vice Chairman Stanbridge believed the local company to be
more sensitive to the historical significance of the project area. Also, with them being local
their performance can be closely monitored.
Additional discussion was held.
Commissioner Macht specified there were several concerns by the Commissioners
leading to the rejection of this bid.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion
carried unanimously. (Staff to negotiate a contract with the #2
ranked firm, Carter Associates, Inc. and "throw out" the # 1 firm
Han-Padron Associates.)
Vice Chairman Stanbridge asked if going with a local company is sufficient reason
to by-pass the first bidder, and County Attorney Bangel explained that the Board has wide
latitude and discretion in bidding.
Vice Chairman Stanbridge understood then that all the Board needed as a reason was
the preference of a local company, and Commissioner Macht commented that a lot of big
firms have lawyers that can make life pretty miserable.
Commissioner Adams pointed out that this bid or RFQ probably went out in February
(actually January 2001) so they have had all this time to register. She was sure other
governments ask the same questions.

BACKGROUND:
On March 06, 2001 the Board of County Commissioners awarded Bid No. 3033 to Treasure Coast
Contracting (see attached agenda item and minutes -Attachment 1) in the amount of $40,210.50 to provide water
service and fire protection to the above referenced project. The project is now complete and the Department of

ANALYSIS:
The Contractor was previously paid $31,418.32 for 78.1% of the project. The bid quantities used during
the bidding process are based on estimated quantities. Change Order No. 1 adjusts the estimated bid quantities
based on actual quantities installed. Change Order no. 1 results in a net reduction of $2,641 1.5. Change Order
No 1 is presented as Attachment -B.
The change order reduction ($2,641.25) results in a 6.56% decrease to the originally approved contract and
adjusts the final contract amount to $37,569.25. Utilities staff is now requesting final payment in the amount of
$6,150.93 including all retainage held.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners

2001:
July 24, 2001
47
i1 : l7 J5 0
ul r4, 2001
TO: The Board of County Commissioners
FROM: loC,`� William G. Collins II — Deputy County Attorney
DATE: July 19, 2001
SUBJECT: King's Highway/5th Street, S.W. Right -Of -Way Acquisition
In September of 1997 Indian River County acquired title to a .64 -acre parcel of
property (56' x 497.92') from Glenn Legwen for King's Highway improvement
project. Title was obtained through an Order of Taking in eminent domain
proceedings following a deposit to the registry of the court based upon an
appraisal of the property.
Since that time there has been significant development in the area, and the
King's Highway improvement project has been re -designed. The re -design
requires obtaining an additional .82 -acres of property from Mr. Legwen. This
includes an additional 40 feet in depth for the King's Highway widening and 50
feet in depth across Legwen's 5th Street, S.W. frontage. The Public Works
Department obtained an appraisal of the .82 acres required, which valued the
taking at $41,600.00. In any eminent domain proceedings a jury is required to
make an award to the property owner in a range between the condemning
authority's appraisal and the property owner's appraisal. In all likelihood our
appraisal would be a floor but not a cap for a jury award.
The statutes governing eminent domain proceedings were revised in 1999 to
require pre -suit negotiation and a good faith written offer to the property owner. I
am requesting authorization from the Board of County Commissioners to make
that good faith written offer in the amount of 1.3 times the appraised value, or a
written offer of $54,080.00 ($12,480.00 over appraised value).
I arrive at this suggested proposal based on our experience with condemnation
cases for Indian River Boulevard and surveys that we did of other jurisdictions a
decade ago which showed that the actual costs of condemnation were at least
1.3 times appraised value. In part this is because the condemning authority must
pay the property owner's attorney's fees, appraisal fees, accountant's fees
regarding business damages, and for any other expert testimony regarding the
highest and best use of the property. In fact, one of the condemnation cases for
Indian River Boulevard involved a 2 -acre parcel of property in which the County
eventually settled the suit and acquired title to the property in exchange for
$15,000.00 plus a full turning movement driveway onto the Boulevard. However,
the award for attorney's fees, expert fees, etc. in that case as ordered by the
court was $90,000.00.
Further, the Public Works Department is anticipating construction on the King's
Highway improvement project to begin in September. Should the pre -suit
negotiation fail and eminent domain proceedings be required the earliest the
County could take title to the property under quick take proceedings is
anticipated to be around December 8th of this year. Such a delay in taking title
could result in re -mobilization expenses if a contractor is delayed on work in the
vicinity of King's Highway and 5th Street, S.W.
IN
1 0
&
Also the property owner's attorney's fees are based upon the benefit he obtains
at trial over and above the written offer. The attorney's fees would generally be
one-third of the benefit obtained over our written offer. Making a reasonable first
offer can be an incentive not to litigate.
RECOMMENDATION:
For all the above reasons, it is my recommendation to make a good faith pre -suit
written offer in the amount of $54,080.00 or 1.3 times appraised value for the
Legwen property.

13A VICE CHAIRMAN STANBRIDGE -
UPDATE
(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Macht temporarily left the
Chambers at approximately 10:37 a.m.)
Vice Chairman Stanbridge advised that the Board of Trustees' attorney (Attorney
General) has requested a rehearing en Banc on the submerged land issues on river islands.
She further advised that the St. Johns River Water Management District has given notice of
an intended District decision on the outstanding permit applications for construction of the
surface water management systems for the residential development and bridge construction.
These applications were held up several months ago and not issued because of the on-going
litigation. SJRWMD staff advised her that they are preparing a report pointing out that the
litigation has not been settled with the Town of Indian River Shores and City of Vero Beach
and that the Trustees had filed for this rehearing. The SJRWMD Governing Board meets
mid-August and again in September. Until all of the legal questions are answered, the
July 24, 2001
52
BK 11 8 PG 9 5 5
District should not issue any permit in light of the Clean Water Act and the impact of all this
development. especially those planned in the middle of the Lagoon. The District needs to
reassess any surface water management applications pending. If and when the river islands'
application goes to the Governing Board, perhaps in August or September, she would
recommend that the Board of County Commissioners have some comments up there so they
will know how we feel as far as the impact to the Lagoon and its water quality. She hoped
the Town and the City would also provide their comments to the Governing Board. She
offered to prepare a detailed letter, with County Attorney Bangel's help, to let the Governing
Board know that these applications, as presented to them, would have an impact on the water
quality of the Lagoon. It is also important to advise them of our efforts stormwater to clean
up the Lagoon's nutrient load with respect to stormwater.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED BY
Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously (4-0,
Commissioner Macht temporarily absent) authorized Vice
Chairman Stanbridge to prepare a letter to the St. Johns River
Water Management District conveying the Board's concerns
regarding Lost Tree Village's permit applications to be
considered by the Governing Board. (CLERK'S NOTE: A copy
of this letter has been placed with the backup for the meeting.)
Vice Chairman Stanbridge will take the message to the involved municipalities to urge
them to also send a message regarding this recent information.
Chairman Ginn advised that she had received notification from someone who is
interested in preserving the islands, and evidently the Commission has until July 31" to
July 24, 2001
53
i1�'�0j56
contact the Coast Guard before they issue permits for a bridge from the end of Silver Shores
Road to the innermost island. It appears, therefore, that Lost Tree is moving forward and she
hoped the public would be notified by the Press. She felt there had not been much publicity
on it.
At the conclusion of the discussion on Item 13.C., County Attorney Bangel asked that
this item be revisited. He inquired if there were any comments the Board wished to make
to the Coast Guard prior to the July 31St deadline.
Chairman Ginn recounted that the Board has previously given their comments to the
Coast Guard and did not know what further could be done.
Vice Chairman Stanbridge suggested those deadlines should be checked as there are
several permits pending, but the SJRWMD item was pulled forward very quickly after the
decision was made on the appeal and SJRWMD needed to know what is going on with local
governments. She suggested a copy of the SJRWMD letter could be sent to the Coast Guard;
there were no negative comments and discussion was concluded without a specific action.
13.C. COMNUSSIONFR AIIAMC _
(Commissioner Macht returned to Chambers at approximately
10:41 a.m. during discussion of this item.)
Commissioner Adams advised that recently the Florida Association of Counties held
a very intense session on redistricting. She recalled that the Board had put off any action
until the census data was out. Now that the data is available, she urged the Board to get
started with the process. She emphasized she wanted to hold public workshops. She felt that
our district boundaries just need minor tweaking. Instead of burdening staff, she suggested
July 24, 2001

�? 57
hiring a consultant who has the GPS data, holding public workshops, and having the
consultant report back to the Board.
Vice Chairman Stanbridge thought that was an excellent suggestion because it is ver!
complicated, is not done often, and should be done properly.
Commissioner Adams thought the Council of Public Officials (COPD) was not the
proper venue for this matter.
Commissioner Macht agreed since it is a very political topic. He felt it was better to
put it in the hands of an independent consultant who will give us a decision based on
numbers, geography, and all the things that really conduce to making representation equal.
Chairman Ginn stated that before she knew this was on the agenda, she had met with
School Board District Chairman Herb Bailey, Long -Range Planning Chief Sasan Rohani, and
Community Development Director Robert M. Keating. She was informed of work being
done in Supervisor of Elections Kay Clem's office. That office has put 98% of all the
information into the computer. She asked Mr. Rohani to explain further.
Long -Range Planning Chief Sasan Rohani advised that he has met with the Supervisor
of Elections' staff several times. They have purchased computer software specifically for
redistricting. After all the pertinent data has been input, they will be able to divide the
population number by five to make sure each of the districts have an equal number of
population. When they move the existing boundary lines, an index will show the population
numbers in each block. When the rest of the information (2% more) has been entered, they
will have a consultant verify all of the numbers. Then they will start with the district that has
the most population and begin making adjustments until all of the districts are equal.
Commissioner Adams pointed out that there has been no public input and there have
already been computer software problems in other counties. Although it may sound easy,
it is not. Even with the census data, it is necessary to be sensitive to race issues and
July 24, 2001
55
�d0 PG 9 5 8
necessary to look at other issues as well
that would be missed.
She was afraid that without human interactions,
Chairman Ginn advised that the largest population in one district is 29,000 and the
smallest is 17,000. She felt adjustments were necessary but not anything major. She recalled
the process used by former Supervisor of Elections Ann Robinson which did not take too
much tweaking since there had not been much growth. She had asked Steve Demers
(Elections Office) to do a presentation in September at the COPO meeting and there is no
reason that could not be a public hearing. It had seemed a natural to have this work done by
COPO since it is representative of all the governments in the county. A tremendous effort
had been made by COPO on the traffic analysis numbers. She favored public input but not
hiring a consultant, which she felt was unnecessary.
Commissioner Adams has heard a lot of comment from the public and the opportunity
for them to give input is needed. What had been done already sounded good and she was
anxious to see results, but the ultimate responsibility belongs to the Board.
Chairman Ginn suggested that the second Wednesday in September (the COPO
meeting) would be a great time to have a public hearing and have the GIS shown to the
public.
Commissioner Adams thought the public hearing should be before the Board rather
than COPD.
Vice Chairman Stanbridge suggested an evening meeting and Chairman Ginn agreed.
It was decided to hold two public hearings, one during a regular Commission meeting
and one in the evening. September dates and advertising requirements were discussed.
Possible dates will be brought back to the Board for a decision.

Chairman Ginn thanked Commissioner Adams for bringing this matter to the Board.
She believed it is a good idea for Commissioners to update the Board on the various boards
and committees they chair because that is the only time they can speak about it. She would
try to implement that.
At this time, County Attorney Bangel asked if Item 13.13. could be revisited and that
information has been added to the end of the discussion on 13.13. above.
