landscaping along the South County portion of US 1; spoke about the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) reversing their position in reducing the funds available for landscaping

remaining alert and vigilant to the plans for improving and widening US 1, and (2) give

12.A.1. CONSIDERATION OFA REQUEST FORA LOCAL JOBS GRANT BY
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
Community Development Director Bob Keating presented background and description
relating to a request for a Local Jobs Grant by a manufacturing company interested in relocating
to the Vero Beach/Indian River County Enterprise Zone. He reported that the company had
requested to keep its name confidential (under State laws that grant such for economic
development), and is proposing to move its assembly, shipping, and research and development
(R&D) activities to Indian River County, bringing about 52 new jobs to the County. He
reviewed the terms of the Jobs Grant, and presented the recommendations of staff and the
Economic Development Council (EDC) to approve the Local Jobs Grant Agreement of up to
$294,800.00 if the Company locates within the County/Vero Beach Enterprise Zone, or
$268,000.00 if it locates within the County but outside of the Enterprise Zone; however, he
requested that the Board not approve the resolution supporting the Qualified Target Industry
(QTI) Grant since the company has not finished the process.
Helene Caseltine, Economic Development Director for the Indian River County
Chamber of Commerce, provided the Company's statistics, noted the County's return on
investment, and expressed delight that the new Company is considering relocating part of its
operation to the Enterprise Zone.
BK 142 PG 526
June 5, 2012 9
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, to approve
staff's recommendation, without the resolution of support
for the Company's state QTI application.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan pointed out that the County had made a serious commitment to
bringing fobs to the community, and if this is approved today, the County will have committed
about $2.3 million towards various jobs grants since March of 2009.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried. The Board unanimously: (1) approved the
local jobs grant of up to $294,800 for the Company if the
Company locates within the Indian River CountyNero
Beach Enterprise Zone, or a local jobs grant of up to
$268,000 if the Company locates within the County but
outside the Enterprise Zone; and (2) authorized the
Chairman to execute the Jobs Grant Agreement with the
Company after approval of the agreement by appropriate
County staff and the County Attorney's office.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Management and Budget Director Jason Brown reviewed his memorandum dated May
29, 2012, providing the details of the Tourist Development Council's (TDC) agency requests, the
ranking process, and the organizations' allocation results and recommendations for Fiscal Year
2012-2013. He thereafter presented the alternatives and recommended the Board proceed with
Alternative 3, which would approve: (1) funding in the amount of $624,250 utilizing the new
allocation process; (2) the final funding amounts equaling those shown in Table 3 (page 97 of the
Agenda Packet); (3) the Cultural Council of Indian River County receiving $52,943, a 45.7%
increase from the current funding level; (4) that the Indian River County Historical Society
would not receive funding; and (5) that all other agencies would receive the full funding request.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan, as Chairman of the TDC, explained the factors that influenced
the vote of the TDC, and pointed out that the vast majority of the Board felt that all the projects
were worthy of full funding.
Director Brown, responding to Commissioner Solari, said the extra dollars, if given out,
would come from the fund balance in the Tourism Fund.
Administrator Baird stressed that tourism revenue is extremely volatile with 30% swings.
He pointed out that staff takes a conservative approach to revenue projections due to unforeseen
occurrences, such as a hurricane or beach erosion.
June 5, 2012 11
811 142 PG 528
Ruth Stanbridge 4835 66th Avenue, representing the Indian River County Historical
Society, asked the Board to think positive about the hurricane season, and to follow the final vote
of the TDC for funding allocations. She requested that the TDC policies be reviewed and
rewritten to make the process easier and better for everyone.
Commissioner Davis believed that if an organization comes forward with pending
projects, it would move up in priority more than a reoccurring request.
Barbara Hoffman, 4170 Chardonnay Place, Chairman of the Board of the Cultural
Council of Indian River County, explained how full funding of the TDC has helped and will
continue to help: (1) increase the number of visitors to the County; (2) the new initiatives and
marketing plans to continue increasing the number of visitors; and (3) tourists to have a positive
experience, which will encourage them to stay longer, come back, and tell others. She urged the
Board to grant full funding to all agencies.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to fund the Tourist
Development Council $645,307 but fund it initially
according to the furthest right column on page 96 of the
Agenda Packet ($624,250 with a $21,057 contingency),
which would be moved to the next column to the left if
there is no hurricane.
Discussion ensued regarding activities in the Sebastian and Fellsmere areas, increasing

Rebecca Rickey, Executive Director of the Heritage Center, said her organization is
working with the Chamber and that there is now a Heritage Tourism Committee. She believed
there would be a positive difference in the heritage history side of tourism with the collaboration
of local Historical Societies and Cultural Tourism.
Amy Selby, Director of Sales at Springhill Suites by Marriott in Vero Beach, mentioned
that her hotel was awarded the 2011 International Marriott of the Year, emphasized that Indian
River County is having a phenomenal year in tourism, and wanted to keep the momentum going
by giving the organizations the money they need.
Vice Chairman O'Bryan stressed that if a hurricane comes this year, the County will need
much more than $400,000, and reminded the Board that the funds are on a reimbursement basis.
He also reiterated that the County is having a strong year, and he wants to keep the momentum
going by moving this forward. He said he had voted on the TDC for the full funding; therefore,
would be opposing the current motion.
Commissioner Flescher wanted to maintain all the attractors to Indian River County
wanted to see more effort focused on marketing, and also to be more reliant upon the Chamber of
Commerce for the investment in the County's future.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried by a 4-1 vote (Vice Chairman O'Bryan

$148,700; (3) Cultural Council - $60,000; (4) Vero
Heritage - $4,943; and (5) Historical Society - $0. Full

14. C.1. RESIDENTS' CONCERNS RE: RECENT CUTTING OF OAK TREES IN
ROSELAND
Commissioner Davis informed the Board that there has been concern over the recent
cutting of mature oak trees in the parking lot of the Roseland Plaza, and he asked staff to provide
the details of the situation.
Director Keating, using a PowerPoint Presentation (on file), reported that the owner of
the Roseland Plaza had requested County authorization to remove the landscape oak trees that
were in the islands of the parking lot because they were disrupting the view of the facade signs of
the businesses in the plaza, despite having been cut back to the maximum. He said that staff had
reviewed and authorized the removal of the nine oak trees, and was assured that they would be
replaced with Sylvester palms, a larger palm tree that is considered comparable to a canopy tree.
He defined the criteria of the County's tree protection ordinance and the landscaping ordinance,
June 5, 2012
18 BK 142 PG 535
and concluded that staff had determined that the landscape ordinance provision for the
replacement of trees is the ordinance that is on point. He also divulged that since this incident,
staff has drafted minor changes to the Land Development Regulations, which will come before
the Board in a few weeks for approval.
In response to Commissioner Davis's questions, Community Development Planning
Director Stan Boling further explained the landscaping ordinance and the corridor requirements.
He also conveyed that when there is a landscaping change request, it is a staff level review and
administrative approval, and the current code requirements are applied.
Holly Dill, Roseland Road, expressed her frustration with cutting down the established
oak trees in the Roseland Plaza parking lot.
Commissioner Davis sought and received information about the County's policy as it
relates to other businesses that may want to reduce their vegetation to increase visibility.
Renee Renzi, Waverly Place, requested that trees not be cut down unnecessarily. She
felt it was ridiculous that the owner wanted to cut down the established trees because residents
already know what and where the stores in the plaza are without the signs.
Richard Baker, resident of North County and voter in Roseland, said the Audubon
Society was instrumental in getting the tree protection ordinance passed, and had also written the
landscaping ordinance. He requested copies of the County's current tree protection ordinance
and landscaping ordinance.
Cy Carlson, Roseland, opposed the removal of the oak trees, and requested that staff
notify the Roseland Community Association when anything comes before the Board that needs
to be adjudicated.
