March 15 , 2011 6
Community Development Director Robert Keating recapped the memorandum of March
3 , 2011 , providing background, description, conditions, and analysis regarding a temporary
suspension of several impact fees . He stated that the current suspension of five impact fees
would expire on March 31 , 2011 , confirmed that notices had been provided to the municipalities
who partner with the County in the impact fee program, and pointed out that in order to provide
flexibility of suspension for the Board, staff advertised suspending all five impact fees . He
reviewed two proposed draft ordinances and recommended the Board adopt the ordinance that
reflects the three fees (Law Enforcement, Public Buildings Impact Fee , and Solid Waste
Facilities Impact Fee) that were referenced at the February 1 , 2011 Board of County Commission
meeting .
Director Keating specified that the Fire/Emergency Services Facilities and Law
Enforcement Impact Fees would not be suspended. He thereafter responded to questions from
the Board regarding the non- suspended impact fees and unencumbered impact fee tracking .
The Chairman opened the Public Hearing .
The following speakers supported the temporary suspension of impact fees :
Terry Torres , 1555 Club Drive
Charlie Wilson , 1935 19t` Avenue
Brian Carman, Indian River Neighborhood Association (IRNA)
Peter Robinson , Laurel Homes
Don Wright, 720 North Fischer Circle
Penny Chandler, President of the Indian River Chamber of Commerce
Betty Lollio , Seacoast National Bank Branch Manager and Vice President
Brian Heady wanted to know if there was any money from impact fees that is close to
the expenditure time limit, and Management and Budget Director Jason Brown relayed that there
were currently no funds that have reached the 6-year expenditure time limit.
March 15 , 2011 7
Chuck Mechling, 1999 Pointe West Drive, wanted impact fees kept to a minimum in
order to generate new construction.
There being no other speakers, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis , to approve
Attachment 3 , extending the temporary suspension of five
(5 ) Impact Fees (Fire/Emergency Services Facilities ,
Correctional Facilities, Public Buildings, Law
Enforcement, and Solid Waste) for two years , until March
31 , 2013 .
County Attorney Alan Polackwich informed the Board that the governing Ordinance
limits the extension to one year, not two .
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to approve
Attachment 3 , extending the temporary suspension of five
( 5 ) Impact Fees for one year, until March 31 , 2012 .
Vice Chairman Wheeler said he would not support the Motion . He wanted only three
impact fees suspended — Correctional Facilities, Public Buildings, and Solid Waste Facilities .
Commissioner O ' Bryan concurred with Vice Chairman Wheeler, and explained why the
entire tax issue should be examined. He also pointed out that due to the current economy and
lack of competition, now would be the best time to purchase land for future fire stations .
Chairman Solari would not support the Motion because he did not believe impact fees
should be used to manage growth.
March 15 , 2011 8
Debate and discussion ensued regarding impact fees being considered a tax , businesses
moving into the County to fill existing vacant buildings instead of building new, and the 35 %
reduction in impact fees that are being targeted to industrial projects .
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 2 - 3
vote (Commissioners O ' Bryan, Solari , and Wheeler
opposed) , the MOTION FAILED .
ON MOTION by Commissioner O ' Bryan, SECONDED
by Vice Chairman Wheeler, by a 3 -2 vote (Commissioners
Flescher and Solari opposed) the Board adopted
Ordinance 2011 -002 , amending Title X, Impact Fees, of
the Code of Indian River County to amend Code Section

11 . COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR MATTERS
H .A. RENEWAL OFEMPLOYMENTAGREEMENT
County Administrator Joseph Baird reviewed the details of his new proposed three-year
Employment Agreement (contract) as outlined on pages 89 through 92 of the Agenda Packet .
His current contract expires on March 22 , 2011 , and his new contract would be in effect through
March 22 , 2014 ,
The Commissioners echoed praise for Administrator Baird ' s job performance ; however,
they voiced objections and concerns over the following provisions : ( 1 ) the three-year term of the
contract; (2) the accumulation of sick leave and vacation time ; and (3 ) certain specifics within
the severance package . The Board also compared his proposed contract to his current contract
and the contract of the County Attorney .
Administrator Baird responded to the Commissioners ' concerns, noted his
accomplishments , and pointed out the difficult decisions he has recently had to make .
March 15 , 2011 10
Attorney Polackwich spoke to the issue of a five-month severance package, and how it
was resolved in the contracts of the Deputy County Attorney and Assistant County
Administrator .
Chairman Solari opened the floor to public comment.
Joe McManus , 13450 77th Street, Fellsmere , objected to numerous details in the
Administrator ' s proposed contract, and opposed its renewal .
Jens Tripson, 2525 14th Street, felt unused sick leave was a benefit that should not be
part of the retirement package .
Peter Robinson , Laurel Homes , supported the Administrator' s proposed contract.
Victor Regan , 6125 6th Place, Vero Beach, explained why he did not think that
Administrator Baird needed an annual contract, and wanted his contract to be equal to other
County employees .
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Wheeler to
approve Administrator Baird ' s contract for three years,
with amendments to remove the deferred compensation
and non-renewable clauses ; clarify the use of
sick/severance pay for serious life threatening illnesses ;
and add "or equally favorable terms" to pay outs and buy
outs for sick, vacation, and compensation time . The
MOTION DIED for lack of a Second .
March 15 , 2011 11
L
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis , to approve the
three-year contract as presented, with the exception that
severance pay for vacation and accumulated sick leave be
tied to the County ' s Administrative Policy in effect during
the time of resignation or contract termination.
Administrator Baird suggested putting a cap on his sick leave at 400 hours .
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to add a cap of 400
hours to accrued sick leave .
Attorney Polackwich suggested adding to Section 9. SEVERANCE, the following
underlined phrase : "If the County terminates this contract at any time, or in the event of
County 's failure to renew an employment contract with the Administrator, on equally
favorable terms, County shall pay Administrator. . . ': He noted that said verbiage is also stated
in the Deputy County Attorney and Assistant County Administrator' s contracts .
A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION was
made by Commissioner O ' Bryan, SECONDED by
Commissioner Davis, to add the phrase : " , , , on equally
favorable terms," to Section 9. SEVERANCE.
Vice Chairman Wheeler emphasized that the Administrator' s contract had been pared-
down from his previous contract based on his own recommendations .
March 15 , 2011 12
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 3 -2
vote (Commissioners Flescher and Wheeler opposed) , the
Motion carried. The Board approved the three-year
contract as presented, with the following amendments :
( 1 ) severance pay for vacation and accumulated sick leave
to be tied to the County ' s Administrative Policy that is in
effect at the time of resignation or contract termination;

12.A. COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT
12AL L REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO ABATE RECURRENCE OFA PUBLIC
NUISANCE ONAN UNMAINTAINED GOLF COURSE WITHIN VISTA
GARDENSMULTIFAMILYDEVELOPMENT (LANDOWNER: VISTA GOLF
LLC: CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE NO. 2009060086)
Environmental Planning and Code Enforcement Chief Roland DeBlois, using a
PowerPoint Presentation (on file) , recapped his memorandum of March 7 , 2011 , providing
history, description, conditions, and analysis regarding the recurrence of overgrown grass and
weeds at the Vista Golf property, within Vista Gardens Development. He recommended the
March 15 , 2011 13
Board approve authorized individuals to enter upon said property to abate this nuisance, and to
record the cost of abatement as a lien against this property .
Attorney Polackwich revealed that up to this point, the liens that the County filed on
subject property had a "priority position," but on December 7 , 2010 , a mortgage was recorded on
the Vista Golf property (to Mr. and Mrs . Sullivan) in the amount of $ 500 , 000 , plus a future
advance clause ; therefore , all future liens on the property will have low or no priority . As a
result, if the mortgage is foreclosed, the County ' s liens could be eliminated through the
foreclosure process .
Questions were posed to the County Attorney regarding future advance notices, filing and
foreclosing on liens, and available alternatives .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis , to approve staff' s
recommendation.
Chairman Solari supported one last mowing for the Vista Golf, LLC property, and felt
that staff should notify the appropriate individuals that this would be the County ' s final attempt
to abate the nuisance , before moving forward with changes .
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion unanimously carried . The Board authorized :
( 1 ) the County ' s employees , servants , agents , or
contractors to again enter upon the Vista Golf, LLC
property, within Vista Gardens, at all reasonable times to
take whatever action is necessary to abate the nuisance
described, and (2) staff to record the costs of the
abatement as a lien against the subject property, as
recommended in the memorandum of March 7 , 2011 .
March 15 , 2011 14
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Chairman Solari, to direct the County
Attorney to initiate foreclosure proceedings to recoup the
County tax dollars that have been expended to date, for the
mowing of the Vista Golf, LLC property .
Attorney Polackwich suggested including an injunction, should this be a viable claim .
Commissioner O ' Bryan AMENDED HIS MOTION,
SECONDED by Chairman Solari, to include an
injunction, should this be a viable claim .
After a brief debate to whether Commissioner Davis should abstain from the vote ,
Attorney Polackwich said he saw no conflict of interest.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried unanimously . The Board directed the
County Attorney to : ( 1 ) initiate foreclosure proceedings
to recoup the County tax dollars that have been expended
to date , for the mowing of the Vista Golf, LLC property ;
and (2) file an injunction, should this be a viable claim .
12,A, 2. IMPACT FEE STUDY CONSIDERATION
Community Development Director Robert Keating recapped his memorandum dated
March 7 , 2011 . He providing description, conditions, and analysis regarding the Board ' s
direction, at the February 1 , 2011 Board of County Commission Meeting, to move forward with
a new Traffic Impact Fee Study, believing it would result in lower commercial traffic impact fee
rates . He thereafter provided alternatives for the Board to consider in moving forward .
March 15 , 2011 15
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the level of service standards, the necessity of
certain traffic impact fees , the calculation of impact fee trips versus human behavior, the
methodology of Impact Fee Studies, the high cost of commercial traffic impact fee rates , and
whether the addition of neighborhood establishments attracts new growth .
The Chairman opened the floor to public comment.
Peter Robinson , Laurel Homes, stressed that Impact Fee Studies are based on national
standards . He did not feel Indian River County could match these standards, and offered
suggestions .
Don Wright, Sebastian, did not feel the Impact Fee Study was appropriate for Indian
River County at this time, thought it would be a waste of money, and offered suggestions .
Jeff Thompson , 2307 Seville Avenue, Vero Beach, opposed the Impact Fee Study at this
time, and thought it should be put on hold for two years .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Wheeler, to deny staff' s
recommendation.
Commissioner Davis wanted this discussion on impact fees to be considered a "revisit"
since the Ordinance requires review every three years .
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried unanimously . The Board denied staff
authorization to initiate the Impact Fee Update Study
process .
March 15 , 2011 16
The Chairman called a break at 2 : 29 p. m. and reconvened the Meeting at 2 : 38 p. m. , with

12.1. 1. STAFF UPDATE — SECTOR 3 BEA CHRENOURISHMENT PROJECT
Public Works Director Chris Mora provided the Board with the weekly construction
summary and schedule update for the Sector 3 Beach Renourishment Project (on file) .
12 I. Z. SECTOR 3 BEA CHRESTORATIONPROJECT, CHANGE ORDER NO. 4 —
FUEL COST INCREASE, RANGER CONSTRUCTIONINDUSTRIES, INC.
Director Mora provided a chronological order of events that transpired on this project
since the date of original bid (August 2009) . He reported that on March 4 , 2011 , Ranger
March 15 , 2011 17
Construction Industries , Inc . (Ranger) requested Change Order No . 4, in the amount of $ 303 ,480,
for unforeseeable and substantial increases in the cost of fuel . He calculated that this would
increase the project cost from $ 10 , 319,234 to $ 10 ,622 ,714 , and if this was to be granted, it would
increase the unit cost of all sand required to complete Phase II by $ 1 . 08 per cubic yard, taking it
from $ 15 . 66 to $ 16 . 74 per cubic yard. Director Mora disagreed with the baseline date provided
by Ranger as to when the increase should be calculated - Ranger calculated it back to August
2009 (when the original bid was submitted) , but staff felt it should be calculated from March 23 ,
2010 (when the Board approved Change Orders No . 1 and 2 , and when Ranger agreed to no
further price increase) . Director Mora provided alternatives, and recommended the Board deny
Ranger ' s request for Change Order No . 4 . He also noted that the contract was silent, and offered
no provisions regarding fuel cost adjustments .
Bob Schafer, Vice President, Ranger Construction Industries, Inc . spoke to the
unforeseen fuel escalations since the original bid contract of August 2009, and how the increase
has affected the project. He also provided justification regarding the submittal of each Change
Order.
Chuck Kramer, 10729 US 1 , Sebastian, compared the price of sand from 2007 to
today ' s prices , which he said dropped by more than half. He stressed the effects of the crippling
fuel prices , and asked the Board to consider extending the deadline date of the project, should
their request for compensation be denied.
Commissioner O ' Bryan clarified the technical details of the project. He wanted the
project to be 100% completed, felt a fuel adjustment was warranted, and thought the Board
should start planning how to adjust fuel usage costs . Referencing page 132 of the Agenda
Packet, he suggested that the March 23 , 2010 price of $ 3 . 00 per gallon be used as the baseline .
He did not think it fair for the County taxpayers to pay a higher fuel price for sand that has
already been moved . He wanted a fair and equitable adjustment to be made based on the average
weekly cost of fuel when the sand is being hauled .
March 15 , 2011 18
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis , to set the March
23 , 2010 price of $ 3 . 00 as the baseline, with weekly
adjustments for the average diesel fuel price , based on the
cubic yards of sand hauled for that week.
Commissioner Davis acknowledged why assigning a per cubic yard price would not work
in this instance, and questioned whether the adjusted compensation in fuel prices is being passed
on to the independent truck drivers who are hauling the sand .
Mr. Schafer assured Commissioner Davis that monies are adjusted and distributed to the
truckers and miners by revising the subcontracts .
Patrick Flynn , Ranger Construction Manager, stated that he had developed Change
Order 4 , which reflects the exact figures submitted from their suppliers , without any mark-up or
overhead . He thereafter responded to questions from the Board.
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the use of a sliding scale, the original construction
budget, and fuel price adjustments .
Vice Chairman Wheeler wanted this sent back to staff so "real numbers" can be put to
paper and locked in .
Paul Meunier, Indian River Contracting, emphasized that his trucking company is
currently running at a deficit and on good faith, and stressed the urgency to approve a fuel
increase adjustment .
Administrator Baird suggested authorizing the Change Order for 50% of what Ranger is
requesting to keep the project moving, and afterwards calculate a formula and index of what the
County owes them to date and in the future .
March 15 , 2011 19
c
Mr. Kramer spoke about the glitches in processing the sand, and wanted the Board to
consider allowing Ranger to complete the project this calendar year. He also specified that there
would be no mobilization fee .
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to advance one-
half of the requested fuel adjustment to Ranger
Construction Industries, Inc . until staff can settle on a
formula.
There was a brief debate as to when the adjustment should start.
Steve Smith , Ranch Road Lake Mine of Vero Beach, clarified that the proposed formula
should not go back to Phase I (last year ' s turtle season) , but begin during the next turtle season .
Mr. Flynn made it clear that this fuel adjustment would include 281 , 000 cubic yards of
sand, and nothing retroactive .
Commissioner O ' Bryan supported advancing Ranger a dollar amount as a fuel
adjustment, but he did not want the fuel price tied to a cubic yard until staff reviews the process
for weekly adjustments .
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESITON and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved to :
( 1 ) set the March 23 , 2010 price of $ 3 . 00 as a baseline,
with weekly adjustments for the average diesel fuel price ,
based on the cubic yards of sand hauled for that week; and
(2) advance one-half of the requested fuel adjustment to
Ranger Construction Industries, Inc . until staff can settle
on a formula.
March 15 , 2011 20
Administrator Baird interpreted the direction of the Board, and the adjustments to the
total increase in fuel cost as requested by Ranger (page 123 of the Agenda Packet) . He indicated
that he would return next week with a formula for moving forward .
ON MOTION by Commissioner O ' Bryan, SECONDED
by Commissioner Davis, the Board unanimously approved
to advance the fuel adjustment rate of 13 . 5 cents per
trucking cubic yard, 28 cents for dredging and processing
per cubic yard, and 09 cents of construction per cubic
yard, based upon the Phase II sand that has been processed
and invoiced appropriately .

13 . COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS
13.A. INDL4NRIVER COUNTY/CITY OF VEROBEACHELECTRIC ISSUES
Attorney Polackwich recalled that on February 1 , 2011 , Dr. Stephen Faherty, Sr . had
made a presentation to the Board on the City of Vero Beach Electric system . He said that at the
conclusion of the presentation he was instructed to review whether it made sense for the County
to intervene in the pending Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) case that Dr. Faherty and
Glenn Heran had filed, and to also explore the possibility of a survey of the City of Vero Beach
Electric customers , to see if they wanted to be served by the City of Vero Beach Electric system
or Florida Power and Light (FPL) . After completing the task, he felt that the Board should
address the alternatives listed on pages 141 through 144 of his Memorandum dated March 7,
2011 , make their position known by adopting a resolution setting forth the Board ' s position, wait
for the results of a possible sale to FPL, and give the City Council a chance to react . Attorney
Polackwich explored the idea of conducting a survey, and believed the "bill stuffer" method
would be the best way to conduct the survey. He noted that the City Manager felt it was
March 15 , 2011 21
r
premature to put a question before their customers until FPL provides their offer to purchase the
city electric system .
Dr. Stephen Faherty provided a brief update regarding the City of Vero Beach ' s (the
City) response to the Florida Public Service Commission, and the questions that were raised in
February. He said he and Glenn Heran were preparing to address the City ' s response, due to
"major holes" in what they were responding to . He wanted to wait to see what happens with
FPL , and how the City reacts to it . He urged the Board to pass the resolution, requested Attorney
Polackwich ' s assistance with proposed language to the resolution, and asked that copies be
provided to Indian River Shores, the City of Vero Beach, and the Public Service Commission ,
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis , SECONDED by
Commissioner Flescher, the Board unanimously approved
to : ( 1 ) adopt a resolution stating its position on the electric
issues ; (2) give the City Council a reasonable time to work
out a sale to FPL ; (3 ) monitor, but not intervene in the
Faherty/Heran Public Service Commission case for now;
and (4) provide a copy of the resolution to Indian River
Shores, City of Vero Beach, and the Public Service
Commission ,
Glenn Heran explained why the Board should continue being visible and vigilant on this
state wide issue .
Administrator Baird suggested sending a letter to the Florida Municipal Energy
Association (FMEA) stating that the Board does not want them representing Indian River County
customers .
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried unanimously.
