J. Rock Tonkel, Grand Harbor, asked the Board to set aside the proposed 10% rate
increases that have been scheduled annually for reclaimed water over the next three years
April 16, 2013 6
BK 143 PG 73
pursuant to Resolution 2013-004, and suggested that the Board review the rates on an annual
basis.
Commissioner O'Bryan preferred to have the Commission consider prospective increases
on an individual, rather than an automatic, basis.
Commissioner Solan advocated that the Utilities Department develop a program to
promulgate greater use of reclaimed water throughout the County.
Commissioner Zorc noted that it would be less costly to expand the reuse pipe network as
road projects are constructed, versus retrofitting existing infrastructure.
County Administrator Baird affirmed that the Utilities Department has no problem
eliminating theprojected increases, and that staff will return to the Board with an update on this
matter.

ADDITION: 12.A.1. CONSIDERATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF
VERO BEACH FOR NEW TRANSIT HUB AT 17TH STREET (SOUTH OF 16m STREET)
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Staff Director Phil Matson recapped his
memorandum of April 12, 2013 and displayed slides to provide background and analysis on the
relocation of the GoLine Transit Hub (the Transit Hub) from its current location south of the
County Administration Building to property owned by the City of Vero Beach (the City). He
April 16; 2013 `'` 7
BK 11/43 P6 733
explained that staff's proposal is to temporarily relocate the Transit Hub to Pro Flight Drive at
the Vero Beach Airport, and following construction of the transit building, to permanently move
the Transit Hub to City property lying immediately west of the Florida East Coast Railroad right-
of-way and south of 16`h Street, which the County would lease. Director Matson asked the
Board to approve the temporary site for the Transit Hub, and the lease agreement with the City
for the permanent transit hub site.
Commissioner Solari voiced concerns about how the new sites would affect the bus
routes, and felt that this matter should have been vetted by the Metropolitan Planning
Organization.
Individual staff members outlined the factors underlying the difficulty of finding an
optimum site, and the lack of a viable alternative on which to situate the permanent hub.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Davis,
SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to approve the
temporary location of the GoLine Transit Hub at the Vero
Beach Municipal Airport on Pro Flite Drive.
Commissioner O'Bryan was confident that the MPO and Senior Resource Association
(the County's Community Transportation Coordinator), would be able to make the permanent
site work.
Commissioner Zorc acknowledged Commissioner Solari's concerns, but supported the
Pro Flite Drive site as a first step to move the hub away from its current location.
Renee Renzi, Waverly Place, addressed the Board with her suggestion that benches be
installed at each bus stop.
April 16, 2013 8
It was noted that the Board's approval will be contingent upon the County Attorney
returning to the Board with a lease agreement with the City of Vero Beach for the temporary
Transit Hub location.
MOTION WAS AMENDED by Vice Chairman Davis,
SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to make the
Board's approval contingent upon the County Attorney's
successful negotiation of a lease agreement with the City
of Vero Beach, which will be brought back for Board
consideration.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Amended Motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Flescher asked for input from Karen Diegl on the proposed relocation.
Karen Diegl, CEO, Senior Resource Association, stated that her concerns were related
to the possible restructuring of the bus routes; however, she affirmed that the SRA would make
any necessary adjustments to keep things running smoothly.
Administrator Baird noted that the temporary hub would have to be relocated when the
two air shows are held at the Vero Beach Airport in the spring and fall.
The Board requested that staff return with ideas on where to situate the hub during the air
shows.
Discussion ensued, as staff addressed Commissioner Zorc's concerns about the
permanent location's proximity to the railroad tracks, and possible impacts to the scheduled
routes.
April 16, 2013 ' 9
143 PG 735
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, to approve the
Lease Agreement with the City of Vero Beach for the
parcel of city -owned property located on 16th Street for
construction of the permanent GoLine Transit Hub.
Administrator Baird, in response to Bob Johnson's query, reviewed the funding sources
for the project.
Attorney Polackwich explained that the proposed lease agreement is the same as the one
the Board considered on December 18, 2012, and asked the Board to make their approval subject
to the ability of the City and County Attorney's offices to effect any necessary non -material
changes to the lease.
After a brief discussion between the Board and Attorney Polackwich, it was determined
that any non -material change/s to the lease would be placed on the consent agenda, and any
substantial change/s would be brought back for Board consideration.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 4-1
vote (Commissioner Solan opposed), the Board approved
the Lease Agreement with the City of Vero Beach for the
parcel of city -owned property located on 16th Street for
construction of the permanent GoLine Transit Hub, as
recommended in the memorandum of April 12, 2013.

12.G. 1. PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURANCE 2013-14
Director of Management and Budget Jason Brown reviewed his memorandum of April 8,
2013, to provide background and analysis on the proposed renewal program for the County's
property/casualty/liabihty insurance program for the period of May 1, 2013 through April 30,
2014. He outlined the savings and increases in premiums, noting that the greatest inflation is in
worker's compensation, due to the high cost of Heart/Lung claims for police and firefighters in
Florida. Director Brown thereafter presented the recommendations of the County's insurance
broker, Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management Services, Inc. (AJG), and staff for the Board to
approve the proposed insurance program.
In response to the Board's questions, Director Brown provided additional information on
the insurance premiums, deductibles, and the prevalence of Heart/Lung claims among County
employees.
Discussion followed about the possibility of lowering costs for the Heart/Lung claim
payoffs. It was noted that it is difficult to fight the presumption that a fire or police worker has
developed a job-related health problem.
April 16, 2013
11
Bk 143 PG 737
Administrator Baird suggested that the Board ask the State Legislators to rescind the
Heart/Lung Bill.
Commissioner O'Bryan suggested that the County try to control claim costs by
promoting an annual physical examination, during which a health condition could be detected
and treated at the onset. He observed that this would not only benefit the employees, it would
put the County in a better position to appeal a claim if a worker fails to adhere to a prescribed
treatment plan.
12.11.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED
by Chairman Flescher, the Board unanimously approved
the renewal program detailed on pages 37 — 39 of the
agenda package; and authorized staff to bind coverage for
May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, with a current annual
premium of $1,854,710 based upon the current schedule
of values and coverage selections, as recommended in the
memorandum of April 8, 2013.

12..12. INDIAN RIVER AERODROME SUBDIVISION PETITION FOR WATER
SERVICE, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UCP -4100
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke summarized the key details of his April 9,
2013 memorandum. He displayed an aenal view of the 53 parcels at the Indian River
Aerodrome Subdivision that will be getting service, and confirmed that 66% of the property
owners have signed the petition requesting potable water and fire protection. He stated that there
was a change to staffs recommendation (as presented in the agenda package), and asked for
authorization to bid out the survey services, rather than use a pre -designated contractor from the
County's continuing contracts list. He noted that there is a business owner in the Aerodrome
area who has offered to perform the surveying services inexpensively; staff would also like to
give other firms a chance to bid on the job.
Director Burke, responding to Board comments and questions, discussed the
infrastructure that would be required to lay reuse water pipes at the same time that potable water
pipes are installed.
Commissioner O'Bryan and Commissioner Solari, respectively, advocated that staff look
into the feasibility of expanding the reuse pipehne.
April 16, 2013 13
8113 PG 739
Administrator Baird acknowledged the Board's wishes, and said that it would be
necessary to do a cost -benefit analysis to determine the feasibility of expanding the reuse
network.
ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED
by Chairman Flescher, the Board unanimously: (1)
approved the Indian River Aerodrome Water Assessment
project; and (2) authorized the Utilities Department to: (a)
proceed with the engineering design work; and (b) bid out
the survey services in preparation for the special
assessment project, engineering design services will be
provided by the Department of Utility Services.
The Chairman called a recess at 10:41 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at10:51 a.m.,
with all members present.
13. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS
13.A. ESCHEATED HOMESTEAD PROPERTY LOCATED AT 308010 COURT
Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal recalled that this matter was first presented at the
County Commission meeting of April 2, 2013, when the Board had granted Douglas Welch an
additional two weeks to make arrangements to pay back taxes, interest, and penalties on the
above property, which escheated to the County for nonpayment of taxes. Mr Welch and St.
Lucie Consulting, Inc. formerly owned the house jointly, and Mr. Welch continues to reside
there. Attorney DeBraal conveyed that Ms. Helene Lindstrom has now offered to pay the back
taxes on behalf of the former owners and give Mr. Welch a life estate in the property. Attorney
DeBraal requested that the Board table this matter to the County Commission meeting of May 7,
2013, to give the parties enough time to work out all the details.
A brief discussion ensued as Attorney DeBraal addressed the Board's questions.
April 16, 2013 ' 14
j' 143 PG 74Q
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan,
SECONDED by Chairman Flescher, to TABLE the matter
of homesteaded escheated property located at 3080 10th
Court, to the County Commission meeting of May 7,
2013, to provide time for the parties to work out all the
details.
Chairman Flescher asked Mr. Welch if he wanted his attorney to address the Board; Mr.
Welch declined, as his attorney had departed.
