OF CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER REPORT
Indian River County Tax Collector Carole Jean Jordan recapped the past few years,
announcing that even though there has been an increase of transactions, with no increase in the
budget, her office managed to decrease their total budget, and therefore presented the Board with
a check in the amount of $2,688,892.27.
The Chairman called for a break at 10:13 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at 10:25

1O.A.1. COUNTY INITIATED REQUEST TO AMEND THE TEXT OF THE POTABLE
WATER AND SANITARY SEWER SUB -ELEMENTS OF THE COUNTY'S
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (LEGISLATIVE)
PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
Planning Director Stan Boling explained the purpose of amending the text of the Potable
Water and Sanitary Sewer Sub -elements of the Comprehensive Plan (Policy 5.7 of the Potable
BK 144 PG 6146
December 3, 2013 11
Water Sub -element and Policy 5.8 of the Sanitary Sewer Sub -element). The modifications
would allow properties that lie outside the Urban Service Area to connect to centralized water
and sewer main lines under certain conditions, which would increase the number of properties
within 500 feet of a main line of a "looped" system to connect to water or sewer (along 66th
Avenue where a main water line is being installed between 8th and 12th Streets). He
recommended the Board approve the proposed text amendment and corresponding Ordinance.
Discussion ensued relative to the proposed policy criteria for connecting to water or
sewer, options, fairness, and costs of the property owner.
The Chairman opened the Public Hearing.
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, sought and received further information
regarding whether this would cause urban sprawl, and if the extension of the fire hydrant would
be included.
Bob Grice, applauded the Board for quickly moving this item forward.
There being no other speakers, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, to approve staff's
recommendation.
Chairman O'Bryan said he would support the motion, but his caveat was to ensure that
the 500 -foot distance was set upon operating criteria, and that extending beyond that point would
have a negative impact on the integrity of the water system. This generated further discussion on
the existing main fines that serve the overall utility system.

December 3, 2013 12
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board adopted
Ordinance 2013-020, amending the text of Policy 5.7 of
the Potable Water Sub -element and Policy 5.8 of the
Sanitary Sewer Sub -element of the County's
Comprehensive Plan; and providing codification,
severability, and effective date.

1O.B.1. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM IMPACT FEE CONSULTANTS REGARDING
COUNTY CHARGES FOR ALTERNATIVE METHOD CALCULATION AND
IMPACT FEES
Charlie Wilson, Impact Fee Consultants, used a PowerPoint presentation to report the
results of a recent independent study on Impact Fees and stressed that inaccurate estimates of
population and costs result in inflated fee assessments and high spending that needs to be
adjusted. He said the study suggests that the County may not be able to continue to charge
Impact Fees in certain areas; and elaborated on why the Board should consider a workshop to
discuss pending policy issues, and to authorize a change in the alternative method fee schedule.

GIFFORD ROAD LANDFILL SITE
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke conveyed that this item was brought to the
Board on behalf of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) to: (1) request:
permission to allow TCRPC to apply for the assessment grant (to use up to $70 000), and
(2) allow TCRPC and Geosyntec to enter the former South Gifford Road landfill site, to perform
in-depth site investigations. Due to limited TCRPC funding, he recommended pursuing the grant
to fund the assessment only on the 55 acres of County owned property.
BK 144 PG 651
December 3, 2013 16
Commissioner Solari spoke about the Customer Convenience Center being in the 5 -year
Capital Plan, suggested moving its location west (to an existing County facility) in order to
maximize the potential of the land and the usage of the center. He also noted that the amount of
funds available to the TCRPC may exceed $70,000, and any motion made today might want to
allow them to spend as much money as they have available for this project.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Solari, SECONDED by
Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously
authorized: (1) Indian River County staff to submit the
Application for a Brownfields Site Assessment Grant from
the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, (2) the
Chairman to execute the subject Site Access Agreement
associated with the subject Grant Application, and (3)
maximizing available funds of the Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council.
Discussion ensued regarding the best use of the property, moving the Convenience
Center further west, and the expenses from past and current investigation activities.
William Mosley, Chairman, Gifford Economic Development Council (GEDC), voiced
concerns over the safety of the site, and asked that local jobs be created through the project.
Joe Idlette III, 4570 57th Avenue, Progressive Civic League, stated that he and his
organization support the project.
Althea McKenzie, 2405 16th Avenue, voiced concerns over the application. She
perceived that the Gifford residents were being used as benefactors of the project, and that the
true benefactor would be the City of Vero Beach. She also asked that the Gifford Community
Neighborhood Plan not be used as the premise for pursuing grant money.
OK I44 PG 652
December 3, 2013 17
Commissioner Solari addressed Ms. McKenzie's concerns, and voiced a different view.
He felt the process would uplift the property, believed the recreational fields would benefit the
entire County, and anticipated that improving the physical environment in Gifford could bring
more jobs into the area.
Chairman O'Bryan explained the qualifying conditions for a brownfield property, and
noted that not everyone wants their land to be considered a brownfield.
Commissioner Flescher felt that the citizens of Gifford, as well as the citizens of Indian
River County will greatly benefit from the project.
Mr. Mosley wanted the improvements to benefit Gifford, not just generate a grant for
County facilities.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried unanimously.

office to research the feasibility of a nuisance abatement special assessment. He recapped his
research and provided background on the Counties (Palm Beach County, St Lucie County, and
Polk) that have adopted the nuisance abatement ordinances. He questioned whether the Board
wanted to move away from the code enforcement process or move towards a nuisance abatement
process.
Chairman O'Bryan wished to see Indian River County utilize the current code
enforcement process until Code Enforcement has a hearing, start issuing a $100 day fine, and
after 30 days bring it before the Board to take action under the non advalorem assessment
methodology.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to direct the

hearing on the proposed ordinance. A supermajority vote

14.A.1. SUPPORTING VACATION RENTAL LEGISLATION
Chairman O'Bryan asked fellow Commissioners to consider a Resolution supporting
vacation rental legislation, which would overturn the recent bill that was passed limiting the
authority of local governments to regulate vacation rentals. If this is approved, he said he would
present it at the next session of the Legislative Delegation.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Chairman O'Bryan, to approve
Resolution 2013-129, urging the Florida Legislature to
adopt and Governor Rick Scott to support legislative
changes providing the ability for local governments to
regulate vacation rentals; directing certified copies of this
Resolution to be provided to various officials,
organizations and cities.
Daniel Lamson, Executive Director, 737-B Timber Ridge Trail, read a statement on
behalf of the Indian River Neighborhood Association, urging the Florida Legislature to repeal the
provisions of the Florida Statute, which prevents local regulations of vacation rentals.
Commissioner Solari suggested substituting the second statement in paragraph four with:
"deleting the restriction preventing local laws, ordinances, or regulations from regulating the use
of vacation rentals based solely on their classification, use, or occupancy."

(Clerk's Note: This item was heard following Item 8, and is placed here for continuity.)
Commissioner Zorc projected an aerial to show the area of overlap between the Board of
County Commission Districts and the City of Vero Beach (COVB) Electric Service Area;
acknowledged that the Town of Indian River Shores (Town) is 100% behind a "full sale" of the
City of Vero Beach Electric to Florida Power and Light; and discussed issues and options
relating to the sale.
Dr. Stephen Faherty, Indian River County activist, discussed the four classes of electric
ratepayers in the State, how the sale might relate to Florida Municipal Electric Utilities
customers in other areas of the County, and the timeline of utility actions. He also spoke about
the options that the Town is considering, and recommended that the Board consider: (1) to
separately or jointly, with the Shores Town Council (Council), send letters to the Chair of the
Public Service Commission (PSC) to open the 1981 PSC COVB and Florida Power and Light
(FPL) Territorial Agreement; (2) take over the Faherty/Heran PSC Petition; (3) encourage the
Council to join the takeover of said petition and/or file a similar petition on behalf of their own
COVB electric ratepayers; and (4) the Commissioners and Council separately or jointly consider
filing (with the State Attorney General's Office) a complaint alleging violations by the PSC
and/or the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) of the State's 1980 Anti -Trust Act, on
behalf of the County and of the Shores outside electnc ratepayers.
A brief discussion ensued as the Board sought additional information regarding the steps
of the County and the timeline.
OK 144 PG 658
December 3, 2013 23
MOTION WAS made by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to direct County
staff to coordinate with the Town of Indian River Shores
staff, Dr. Faherty and Glenn Heran, and bring
recommendations back to the Board regarding:
(1) a letter to the Public Services Commission to re -open
the Territorial Agreement; (2) whether the County should
take over the Heran/Faherty Petition that is before the
Public Services Commission; and (3) consideration of an
anti-trust complaint with the State Attorney General's
office.
Commissioner Zorc informed the Board that the Town of Indian River Shores next
meeting is scheduled for December 13, 2013, and believed it would be a great opportunity to
joint -venture on the cost.
Discussion ensued among the Commissioners and Dr. Faherty regarding the anti-trust
action, spending taxpayers' dollars, and a 100% sale if this moves forward.
J. Rock Tonkel, resident of Grand Harbor, applauded the Board's actions on this issue
and urged the Board to accept Mr. Faherty's recommendations.
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, felt that making a decision at this time would be
premature, and suggested offering another session on this topic so the Town of Indian River
Shores could send a spokesman.
Chairman O'Bryan informed Mr. Johnson that today's motion was to coordinate, and that
formal action would take place at the January 7, 2014, Board of County Commissioners meeting.
