Comptroller Harry Hall, Indian River County Sheriff's Office, requested approval to
transfer the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) funds from the Board of County
Commission's bank account into the Sheriff's Corrections Operating Expenses, to augment funds
needed for inmate care. He noted that the SCAAP is a payment program administered by the
Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously
authorized the issuance of a check in the amount of
$55,721.00, with the appropriate budget amendment into

9.B. JEFFREY R. SMITH, INDIANRIVER COUNTY CLERK OF CIRCUIT COURT
AND COMPTROLLER: DRAFT RESOLUTION FOR PROPOSED STATE
UNIFORM CHART OF ACCOUNTS
Jeffrey R. Smith, Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, provided background and
analysis on Statute 215.89, Charts of Account, which was created through passage of Senate Bill
1292 during the 2011 Florida Legislative Session. He explained that the law attempts to create a
uniform Chart of Accounts that all local governments and certain other government entities
November 19, 2013 11
SK 144 PG 600
would have to use to report financial information on a monthly basis to the Chief Financial
Officer of the State of Florida. He referred to the Uniform Chart of Accounts White Paper dated
October 14, 2013, prepared by the Florida Government Finance Officers Association (FGFOA),
to detail the following problems in the law:
• Each entity of local government is responsible to its own citizens, not to the
legislative staff of Tallahassee
• Monthly and annual reporting will be irreconcilable
• Reporting requirements are unclear, conflicting, and duplicative
• Quality of data is compromised
• Comparability amongst governmental entities is unattainable
• Implementation Costs are prohibitive
Mr. Smith thereafter requested that the Board: (1) consider adopting the proposed
Resolution opposing the Uniform Chart of Accounts; (2) bring up this issue with the Indian
River Legislative Delegation; and (3) provide transparency through more frequent reporting on
the County's website.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to: (1) approve
Resolution 2013-126, urging members of the Florida
Legislature to oppose legislation that would mandate the
use of a uniform Chart of Accounts for all governmental
entities to report financial information on a monthly basis
to the Chief Financial Officer of the State of Florida; and
(2) add this issue to the list of discussion items for the
Indian River Legislative Delegation.
Chairman O'Bryan added that the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) has also
adopted a policy opposing the uniform Chart of Accounts.
November 19, 2013
12 Ok144PG601
Comptroller Hall explained the impossibility of the Sheriff's Office meeting the
requirements of the uniform Chart of Accounts.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Motion carried unanimously.
Chairman O'Bryan requested, in order to accommodate the Fellsmere officials who wish
to address the Board, that discussion on Item 15.A.1, City of Fellsmere Fire Marshal's Office, be
held immediately following the break.
The Chairman called a recess at 10:18 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at 10:30 a.m.,
with all members present.

IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM AND THE SUPPORTING DATA AND ANALYSIS
OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN (LEGISLATIVE)
(Clerk's Note: This item was heard following Item 15.A.1. City of Fire Marshal's Office,
and is placed here for continuity).
Community Development Director Bob Keating used a PowerPoint presentation to
update the Board on staff's request to amend the five-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP)
of the Comprehensive Plan. After highlighting the proposed changes, he disclosed that there is
reduced CIP revenue forecasted for the next five years, but Level of Service Standards will be
maintained. Director Keating presented staff's recommendation for the Board to approve the
November 19, 2013 13
EN 144 PG 602
update to the five-year CIP, as well as supporting data and analysis of the Capital Improvement
Elements (CIE) of the Comprehensive Plan by adopting the proposed Ordinance.
Vice Chairman Davis remarked on the frequency of motor vehicle/pedestrian accidents
lately, and wanted to set aside funding for improvements to sidewalks and roads that may have
design flaws with the potential to affect public safety.
Management and Budget Director Jason Brown disclosed that the County sets aside
$500,000 for right-of-way improvements, and discussion ensued about possible funding sources
for setting aside $500,000 to mitigate the aforementioned safety hazards.
Vice Chairman Davis asked whether funding for a proposed sewer project was put into
the CIP.
Administrator Baird replied that the feasibility study has been done; however, there are
no final dollar amounts to put into the CIP as yet. He advised that as funds become available for
the sewer project, amendments can be made to the Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioner Flescher wanted to see whether the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) funding that has been allocated for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 can be adjusted in order to
"fast track" the sidewalk improvements at Vero Lake Estates.
Commissioner Zorc asked about the strategy that staff uses to select the sites for new fire
stations.
Administrator Baird, with input from Director King, discussed the intricacies of placing
fire stations in the most beneficial service locations. It was noted that staff is currently
considering the best location for a future station near Vero Lake Estates.
The Chairman opened the Public Hearing.
November 19, 2013 14
144 PG 603
Joe Beaudoin, 92nd Avenue, Vice President Vero Lake Estates (VLE) Property Owners
Association, declared that there is a critical need for a fire station proximate to the VLE
subdivision, due to the tremendous growth of the community.
There being no additional speakers, the Chairman closed the public hearing.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to adopt
Ordinance 2013-019, amended to add to the Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) expenditures, a line item of
$500, 000 for bicycle/pedestrian safety improvements,
amending the text of the Comprehensive Plan's Capital
Improvements Element by updating the County's 5 Year
Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Schedule and
Related Data and Analysis Sections; and providing
severability and effective date.
A brief discussion followed as the Office of Management and Budget confirmed that they
would incorporate into the CIP expenditures, the requested allocation of $500,000 to enhance
public safety and make sidewalk improvements without adversely impacting other County
projects.
Chairman O'Bryan sought and received confirmation from Commissioner Solari that his
intent was that the $500,000 line item should be implemented in the 2013-2014 Fiscal Year and
carried forward as part of the five-year Capital Improvements Program.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Motion carried unanimously.

RIGBY, GIFFORD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
Bill Rigby, 8465 59th Avenue, and Reverend William Mosley, 4415 27th Avenue,
addressed the Board conjointly.
Reverend Mosley, Chairman, Gifford Economic Development Council (GEDC),
commented on the economic disparity that is rampant in America. In order to improve the
economic climate in Gifford, he sought to move oversight of the Enterprise Zone Development
Agency (EZDA) to the GEDC; to offer job training in the neighborhood; to use local labor for
improvement projects; and to have the community involved with securing/overseeing grants. He
also: (1) inquired about $350,000 that was formerly donated by the Minority Business Funds of
Palm Beach County as a match with the County for an economic development project (which he
does not believe occurred) in the Gifford community; (2) requested that the Board support local
small businesses, including his enterprise which sells computer tablet harnesses; and (3) asked
the Board to respond to his proposal in ten days.
County Administrator Joseph Baird stated that he would seek information on the
aforementioned $350,000 allocation.
Commissioners O'Bryan and Zorc provided information to Reverend Mosley about the
Research Coast Principium Foundation which gives small business owners the chance to present
their ideas to venture capitalists who might assist them with funding.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Solari, non-voting Commissioner Liaison to
the Enterprise Zone Development Agency, and Reverend Mosley, about the Enterprise Zone.
Commissioner Solari noted that there have been some misunderstandings, and suggested that
Reverend Mosley attend the next meeting of the EZDA, at which he will arrange for a
presentation to be given regarding its statutory purpose and structure.

FATALITIES
Vice Chairman Davis related that he had received a Facebook post from a parent (whose
child had been fatally injured in an accident), who wanted to communicate with him about
improving road/sidewalk safety. He related that he has two primary issues that need to be
addressed: (1) how to enable the Board to keep up with the documents/public records that are
coming through online social networking services, such as Facebook; and (2) the need for a
thorough analysis of whether there are factors which may have contributed to or caused an
accident, and if so, what can be done to correct the safety hazard.
(Clerk's Note: Facebook is an online social networking website to which the Board
currently has no access in the County Administration Building.)
Director of Public Works Chris Mora explained that the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP)
compiles all applicable data to produce a report, and that without reviewing that information,
staff would not be able to come to any conclusions about safety counter-measures that could be
used to prevent further accidents.
Vice Chairman Davis would like staff to come back, after reviewing the FHP data, with
analysis on whether a particular incident had simply been unpreventable, with no changes
necessary, or whether there was a specific contributor to said accident, in which case, safety
remedies would need to be applied.
November 19, 2013 22

SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, to direct the Public
Works Director to report at least annually, to the

(Clerk's Note: Commissioner Zorc requested to discuss additional matters and the
Chairman granted him additional time at 1:05 p.m.)
Commissioner Zorc reported that he had received an invitation to attend a football game

(Florida Statutes 112.313 and County Code Chapter 104) governing the County Commissioners'
acceptance of food, gifts, or invitations.
Attorney Reingold explained the differences between the Florida Statute and County
Code, and advised that under the latter, the Commissioner would be unable to accept the
