Helene Caseltine, Director of Economic Development for the Chamber of Commerce,
and Enterprise Zone Coordinator, reviewed proposed legislation, House Bill 965 [HB 965]
relating to the Enterprise Zone Program. She summarized two of the proposed revisions to the

Lower the minimum purchase price on equipment from $5,000 to $2,500

Ms. Caseltine relayed that Enterprise Zone officials and other stakeholders would support
HB 965 if the minimum purchase price for equipment is reduced to $500, rather than the
proposed $2,500.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Chairman Flescher, to: (1) direct the
County Attorney to draft a letter of support for House Bill
965, contingent upon changing under the Business
Equipment Sales Tax Refund Program, the minimum
purchase price on business equipment from the proposed
$2,500 to $500; and (2) to authorize the Chairman to
execute same for mailing to the State Legislature.
Commissioner O'Bryan voiced concerns about the proposed change to the Jobs Tax
Credit. He supported retaining the criterion for granting the tax credit for a newly created, not an
existing, job.
Discussion continued on the Jobs Tax Credit, after which the following action was taken:
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 4-1
vote (Commissioner O'Bryan opposed), the Motion

Vice Chairman Davis reported that this matter relates to a letter sent to the County by the
City Manager of Vero Beach, James O'Connor. Mr. O'Connor had requested that the County
avoid scheduling committee meetings on Tuesdays, the same day Council meetings are held.
Discussion ensued. It was revealed that the letter referred to a Tourist Development
Council (TDC) meeting that had been rescheduled from its regular meeting day, Wednesday, to a
Tuesday, due to the unavailability of the Board Chairman who is also the Chair of the TDC.
Commissioner Davis added that it was more of a scheduling matter than anything
intentional, and he did not believe it was truly an issue.
Chairman Flescher pointed out that everyone was given advance notice of the scheduling
change.
County Administrator Baird affirmed that he had responded to the City's letter, and that
the County works hard to avoid conflicts with all the municipalities.
Commissioner Zorc noted that the Economic Development Council (EDC) is considering
a change in meeting dates and times, because of potential conflicts with the City of Vero Beach.
