Human Resources Director James Sexton reported that effective July 1 , 2011 , changes
will occur to the Florida Retirement System (FRS) pursuant to the passage of Senate Bill 2100
(SB 2100), requiring the employees to contribute 3 % of their paychecks towards future
retirement benefits . He explained that since employees would receive remuneration in July for
time worked between June 24 and June 30 , the 3 % contribution would end up being deducted
from the June pay period . He asked the Commissioners how they wanted to address
this
inequity .
Administrator Baird noted that due to SB 2100 , the County would reap about $ 600 , 000 in
savings from July 1 to September 30, 2011 . He suggested compensating the employees for the
$ 17 , 500 that will be drawn out of their checks during the timeframe discussed by Director
Sexton.

Director Olson reviewed the memorandum of June 14 , 2011 , to provide background and
analysis regarding the Conservation Leaders Network' s initiative for the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to return to the original standards of the 1972 Clean Water Act
(CWA) . He explained that in 2006 , a change was made to the CWA exempting water bodies
adjacent to major waterways if sufficient evidence is not found showing that the smaller
waterway would impact the adjoining water body, and the initiative would bring CWA standards
back to a broad interpretation. He expressed staff s conviction that the 2006 changes did not
change or preclude the ability to monitor the tributaries and wetlands, and was opposed to the
June 21 , 2011 15
Commissioners sending the letters of support requested by Peg Ryan of the Conservation •
Leaders Network . He reiterated staff s support for the EPA to continue applying a "nexus" test
to determine the applicability of CWA regulations for specific waterways and adjacent bodies of
water.
Commissioner Davis expressed support for staff to create and send a letter expressing
their viewpoint on retaining the "nexus " test .
Director Olson advised that he wanted to work with the County Attorney on the letter.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Davis, SECONDED by
Chairman Solari , the Board unanimously : ( 1 ) approved to
NOT SUPPORT the initiative to revert back to the original
Clean Water Act (CWA) regulation guidelines, thus
allowing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to

applicability of CWA regulations to specific waterways

whether the home could be saved .

presenting background and analysis on the forthcoming redistricting of the five (5 ) County
Commissioner Districts , which must be done pursuant to the Florida Constitution now that the
2010 Decennial Census is complete . He explained that State law requires the Board "to divide
the County into districts of contiguous territory, as nearly equal in population as practicable" and
as "nearly equal in proportion to population as possible . " He outlined the proposed schedule (see
page 92 of the Agenda Packet) for initiating and completing the redistricting process, and
advised that Public Hearings would be scheduled for July 12 , 2011 and September 13 , 2011 , with
a third Public Hearing on October 18 , 2011 for approval of the final redistricting map . Attorney
Polackwich spoke to the need for transparency throughout the process, provided examples of

Vice Chairman Wheeler pointed out that since the County Commissioners serve at the •
pleasure of the entire County, not one particular district, there is a tremendous difference
between the County ' s and State and Federal redistricting, where politicians may gerrymander
certain districts for political reasons .
Commissioner Flescher agreed that the County Commissioners ' seats are not currently
district-sensitive, but stated that time may come . He observed that at this point, the County
needs to establish districts with a more fair and consistent distribution of population, since
currently some districts are more sparsely populated than others . He also felt it would be in the
best interests of the constituents to have the School and Commissioner Districts in conformity.
Dori Roy, the County Administrator' s Assistant, responding to Commissioner Davis ' s
query, reported that maps and population data for the current districts will be posted on
the
County ' s website .
Commissioner O ' Bryan proposed scheduling the September 20 , 2011 Board of County •
Commission meeting in Sebastian and including on the agenda, a Public Hearing on the
redistricting . He asked Administrator Baird to limit the number of other agenda items , so fewer
staff members would have to travel to Sebastian .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Chairman Solari , to hold the regular
Board of County Commission meeting of September 20 ,
2011 at the Sebastian City Council Chambers , at which
time a Public Hearing on the redistricting would be
included on the Agenda.
Chairman Solari suggested the Motion reflect that the proposed meeting is subject to the
