reminded the Board that she had expressed concerns over the current vendor not being able to
provide backup memory cartridges, but last month she received notification that the vendor could
supply them, so she will purchase them with funds from her existing budget. Ms. Swan felt the
postponement would benefit the County since it will allow funds to be put away for the
acquisition of a new voting system after the 2016 Presidential election, and additionally, it will
allow her office to meet the projected equipment needs of the growing number of people in the
County. She also spoke about Electronic Voter Identification (EViD) Poll Books, and how they
are intended to make voter check-in easier and quicker. She said her office plans to budget
money in the next fiscal year to replace the original EViD's that will no longer be able to be
serviced.
Commissioner Zorc suggested Ms. Swan bring the Board a three or four-year plan of her
budget so it could be divided over numerous budget cycles.

Reverend William Mosley believed the Gifford community to be in a state of

requested the Board to provide him with written answers to questions that were posed in 2013
regarding Gifford issues.
Commissioner Solari requested Mr. Mosley to put his questions in writing so staff can
respond clearly and timely.
There was a brief discussion and debate regarding Gifford representation, endorsement of
Mr. Mosley's product (tablet holder), and commitment.
Chairman O'Bryan said he would request staff to review the 5 -Year Capital Improvement
Element and pull any projects relating to Gifford, and provide a summary of all community
meetings held in the Gifford community over the past nine months.
Bill Rigby, 8465 59th Avenue, emphasized that he was in attendance today to discuss
economic issues, not the trash business. He stressed the need for growth in Gifford and believed
that if everyone works together, the Gifford community can move forward with improvement.

Commissioner Solari said that he had met with Mr. Mosley and members of the Gifford
community on February 12, 2014 to discuss the Gifford Economic Development Council, Inc.
(GEDC). He felt there was still a lot of misinformation in the community regarding the proper
functions of County Government, as opposed to different Government Agencies and reiterated
that he would be glad to return to Gifford to continue discussions on a regular basis. He also
noted that he had taken a list of questions to the GEDC meeting, and thought it would be
reasonable to ask basic financial and organizational questions of leadership, and believed it
would be appropriate to ask questions similar to those that would be asked of any nonprofit
seeking financial support from County government He agreed that individuals need to work
together and get a better grasp on the information out there to succeed.
10.13.3. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM SHAWN FROST, THE GREEN PATROL,
REGARDING HELPING WITH GREEN CERTIFICATION / GREEN HEART
AWARDS
Shawn R. Frost, founder and CEO of the Green Patrol, recalled that at the February 11,
2014 Solid Waste Disposal District meeting, Jeremy Nelson had provided a brief overview of the
Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) and the ways in which the Coalition can help counties
achieve the green government standard, and he wanted to know what the Board's decision was
for recertification.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan informed Mr. Frost that the item had been tabled, and that Mr.
Nelson, or a FGBC representative, would be returning to the Board with additional information
regarding the benefits to the County for recertifying with the FGBC. He admitted that the Board
did not feel they could justify spending taxpayers' dollars on recertification to maintain the
County's Green Local Government status.

Commissioner Solari said that he had met with Mr. Mosley and members of the Gifford
community on February 12, 2014 to discuss the Gifford Economic Development Council, Inc.
(GEDC). He felt there was still a lot of misinformation in the community regarding the proper
functions of County Government, as opposed to different Government Agencies and reiterated
that he would be glad to return to Gifford to continue discussions on a regular basis. He also
noted that he had taken a list of questions to the GEDC meeting, and thought it would be
reasonable to ask basic financial and organizational questions of leadership, and believed it
would be appropriate to ask questions similar to those that would be asked of any nonprofit
seeking financial support from County government He agreed that individuals need to work
together and get a better grasp on the information out there to succeed.
10.13.3. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM SHAWN FROST, THE GREEN PATROL,
REGARDING HELPING WITH GREEN CERTIFICATION / GREEN HEART
AWARDS
Shawn R. Frost, founder and CEO of the Green Patrol, recalled that at the February 11,
2014 Solid Waste Disposal District meeting, Jeremy Nelson had provided a brief overview of the
Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) and the ways in which the Coalition can help counties
achieve the green government standard, and he wanted to know what the Board's decision was
for recertification.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan informed Mr. Frost that the item had been tabled, and that Mr.
Nelson, or a FGBC representative, would be returning to the Board with additional information
regarding the benefits to the County for recertifying with the FGBC. He admitted that the Board
did not feel they could justify spending taxpayers' dollars on recertification to maintain the
County's Green Local Government status.
Mr. Frost said that he wanted to offer a service through the Green Patrol
(thegreenpatrol.org) that would require no tax dollars, create jobs that would help keep Indian
River County clean, focus on cleaning the Lagoon, boost the economy, and provide funding to

AMENDMENT TO CREATE SPECIAL OVERLAY REGULATIONS FOR THE
WEST GIFFORD INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCE (WGIC) AREA ON 163
ACRES OF PROPERTY IN WEST GIFFORD ZONED IG (GENERAL
INDUSTRIAL)
Community Development Director Stan Boling recapped his memorandum dated
February 3, 2014, providing background, conditions, and analysis pertaining to staff's request for
authorization to: (1) update the draft overlay regulations for the West Gifford Industrial and
Commerce (WGIC) area (163 acres bordered by 43'h Avenue on the east, 58th Avenue on the
west, 45th Street on the north, and 41s Street on the south), which is zoned as General Industrial
(IG); and (2) initiate the formal process for adopting the draft regulations. He recommended the
Board authorize staff to initiate a Land Development Regulation (LDR) Amendment for the
WGIC overlay regulations (as opposed to a rezoning approach), invoke the pending ordinance
doctrine, and direct staff to apply the draft regulations in the interim.
A lengthy discussion ensued as Commissioners posed questions to staff and expressed
opinions on the soundness of the pending ordinance doctrine; the criteria proposed for the three
special exception uses (batch plants, mulch operations, and demolition debris facilities) in West
Gifford's IG zoned property; the requirements for IG and Light Industrial (IL) zoning; and
grandfathering uses.
February 18, 2014 13
Chairman O'Bryan reiterated that currently the demolition debris site and the concrete
batch plants have permitted rights, and at today's meeting, the Board is not adding these uses to
the Gifford area, they are considering changing them from permitted to special exception uses,
which requires a public notice process, a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and a public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners, which allows
more public input.

(Clerk's Note: This Item was heard following Item 14.D.1., and is placed here for

Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke recalled the Board's approval on August 20,
2013, for a Feasibility Study to provide professional services to investigate the feasibility of
installing centralized sewer services. Using a Prezi presentation (copy on file), he provided
description and analysis of the three types of sewer collection systems (gravity based, vacuum,
and low pressure) that could be used in the Summerplace area, and the cost for each. He said the
results of the study showed the vacuum alternative to be the preferred method for a centralized
sewer system, but the Utility Department prefers the gravity based system. He used a
February 18, 2014 19
construction schematic in his presentation to show the proposal for 52 gravity based systems in
the southeast portion of Summerplace, and 217 vacuum systems in the west, for a total of 269
residential parcels. He recommended the Board approve moving forward with the vacuum based
system in the west, and a hybrid gravity based system in the southeast corner to tie into the
existing lift station. He also asked that the information be added to the County's website.
Chairman O'Bryan questioned the STEP (Septic Tank and Effluent Pump) system, and
whether it had been evaluated.
Joseph Schulke, Schulke, Bittle and Stoddard, LLC, said his scope was limited so he did
not price out a STEP system. He discussed the items that had been considered explained his
research, and noted that at least half of the septic tanks in Summerplace were built prior to 1983,
which means they are substandard in size (750 gallons), and for the STEP system to work, they
need to be at least 1,000 gallons. He also pointed out that the Environmental Protection
Agency's manuals recommend replacing the entire septic tank, which would increase prices
substantially.
ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Davis, SECONDED by
Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously
authorized: (1) staff to determine the next phase;
(2) staff to present the findings to the Summerplace Home
Owners Association; and (3) staff to publish both

14. D.1. SEBASTIAN EQ UALIZA TION FEE
(Clerk's Note: This Item was heard following Item 12.11., and is placed here for
continuity.)
Commissioner Solari read his memorandum dated February 10, 2014, regarding the
County's purchase of Sebastian's water and sewer utility system in 1995, it being consolidated
into the County's system, and because Sebastian's debt was assumed, the County began billing
Sebastian customers an "equalization charge." He believed that after many years of the County
charging the fee, the charge has equalized between the County and Sebastian customers. He
found no justification for the continuation of this charge, and felt all citizens in the County
should be treated fairly.
Administrator Baird provided history on the equalization charge, and said it is a policy
decision for the Board.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, to direct the
County Administrator to eliminate the Sebastian
equalization charge, which currently appears on Sebastian
water and sewer bills.
Discussion and debate ensued regarding the 6% equalization charge for non -incorporated
area customers; and the reduction of about $200,000 in revenue to the County's General Fund if
the fee is eliminated.
Chairman O'Bryan wanted to know what the effective date would be.
February 18, 2014 23
Administrator Baird said he would bring this back to the Board after the Utility
Department has had a chance to make programming changes.

vote (Chairman O'Bryan opposed), the Motion carried
Attorney Reingold noted that in 1995, the Board had adopted Resolution 95-16 which
established the 6% equalization rate, and said his office would draft a resolution stating that the
rate equalization charge is no longer necessary, and bring it back to the Board in March.
