ADVANTAGE PLAN FOR FY201212013
el
Vice Chairman O ' Bryan wondered whether retirees could be offered a choice between
the Humana Medicare Advantage Plan and the Florida Blue Medicare Advantage Plan ("Florida
Blue Plan") , because there are distinct advantages to each plan.
Anna Maria Studley, Managing Director, Gehring Group (the County ' s insurance
lee
broker), explained that if both plans are offered, Humana would have to re-rate their plan, with
probable rate increases .
Human Resources Director Jim Sexton provided additional details on the two plans ,
noting that the Florida Blue Plan is better for retirees with a gap in their Medicare prescription
coverage . He added that staff is open to suggestions if the Board would like to switch coverage ;
however, the insurance companies would have to re-rate their plans .

PERMIT FEE SCHEDULE
Building Official Jose Guanch recapped his July 9 , 2012 memorandum, noting two errors
in the Agenda Packet : Page 225 , Item 20 , should read Door/Window Replacement/ Hurricane
Shutters ; and Page 227, Item 41 , should state "Four times the original plan review fee . Mr .
Guanch outlined the proposed changes to the permit fee schedule , and advised that the State has
mandated that the County now perform all components of the pool inspections , eliminating the
Health Department' s involvement; thus , there is an overall reduction in pool permit costs . Staff
thereafter conveyed the recommendations of both the Treasure Coast Building Association and
staff for Board approval of the revised permit fee schedule . Mr. Guanch added that due to
concerns about a prospective funding shortfall, he would be re-addressing the Board in the future
regarding certain reduced fees .

July 17 , 2012 15
Vice Chairman O ' Bryan asked whether more than one permit was required to put
hurricane shutters on multiple windows .
Mr . Guanch replied that only one $ 200 permit was required if a homeowner wishes to
install shutters on all the windows in the home, up to a value of $48 , 000 .
,. A discussion/debate ensued among the Commissioners , County Administrator Joseph
Baird, and Mr. Guanch regarding the proposed permit fees for : ( 1 ) garage door replacement —one
door (proposed to go from $ 200 to $ 130) ; and (2) doors/windows/hurricane shutters (proposed to
It
go from $ 200 to $ 130 for more than two openings or components .

understanding that the new permit fee would be $ 75 to replace one garage door.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis ,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to direct staff to
set the permit fee at $ 75 for a residential specialty permit
for replacement of one ( 1 ) garage door.
Its
Discussion followed as Mr. Guanch, responding to Board inquiries , provided staff' s
rationale for recommending the $ 130 permit fee to replace a garage door .

Commissioner Davis sought and received confirmation that Administrator Baird had also
conversed with staff about setting the permit fee for $ 75 to replace up to four openings for doors,
windows , or hurricane shutters .

Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, remarking on the earlier debate, felt that further
discussion might be beneficial and suggested the Board table the final decision on this matter.
Administrator Baird reiterated his support for the $ 75 fee for the two aforementioned
residential specialty permits .
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the
Motion carried unanimously. The Board : ( 1 ) directed staff
to set the permit fee at $ 75 for the following Residential
Specialty Permits : (a) for replacement of one ( 1 ) garage
door; and (b) for door/window replacement/hurricane
shutters for up to four (4) components or openings ; and (2)
approved Resolution 2012 =063 , with the above
amendments to Appendix A , amending the fees for the
various building permits and related inspections .

where the County and State could consolidate inspections . Mr. Guanch revealed that at this time,
he was not aware of any .

PLANT, BEALE HOLDINGS, INC. , OWNER
Director Olson provided background and analysis on the request of the County Utilities
Department to purchase 13 acres of land owned by Beale Holdings, Inc . , located adjacent to the
South County Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant. He said that the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) has issued an Administrative Consent Order regarding the
discharge of brine into the South Relief Canal, and an Algal Turf Scrubber (ATS ) project would
be constructed on the proposed property to reduce the nutrient flow into the lagoon and resolve
the Consent Order. He explained that the project was originally proposed to be built near the
County Landfill , but several factors caused costs to rise above $ 10 million, and another location
(the Beale parcel) was found directly adjacent to the water plant ; if the ATS project is
constructed there , costs will drop to approximately $ 6 million. Director Olson thereafter
conveyed staff s recommendation for the Board to approve the acquisition of the parcel and

Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal relayed that on March 17, 2009 , the Board enacted
Resolution 2009- 017, approving a 40-year ground lease with the Senior Resource Association
(SRA) for 2 . 53 acres of land on 43 `d Avenue . The purpose of the lease was to provide for the
construction of the Indian River Transit Administrative and Maintenance Facility for SRA ' s
GoLine bus fleet. He reported that the facility has now been constructed, and presented staff' s
recommendation for the Board to approve the new building lease , which would supersede the
original lease . Attorney DeBraal noted that because the SRA must reapply every five years to
become the County ' s Community Transportation Coordinator and Transit Service Provider;
the term of the new lease is five years, with the option of renewal .

MAL REGIONAL FIBER OPTICNETWORK
Vice Chairman O ' Bryan reviewed his handouts (copy on file) on the fiber optic cable
network ("the Consortium") jointly owned by the County, City of Vero Beach, and School
District. He noted that although the Consortium and the County ' s Traffic Engineering Division
("Traffic") share some fiber, Traffic is not considered part of the Consortium . Vice Chairman
O ' Bryan wanted to explore the possibility of expanding the fiber optic network by creating a
regional network with St. Lucie and Martin Counties, for the purpose of fostering economic
development . He explained that the City of Vero Beach ("the City") was the Consortium
member who would lead this effort, and requested that the Board authorize staff to work with the
City to draft an interlocal agreement, which will be brought back to the Board for further
consideration.
Commissioner Davis agreed that the availability of fiber optic cable is extremely
important for the future and cited how advantageous the availability of the network has been to a
Sebastian company, NetBoss Technologies . He wished to see other municipalities join the
network, and also wondered whether the County could work with the Florida Department of
Transportation to expand the network.
Vice Chairman O ' Bryan envisioned that a lot of steps would be needed to create the
regional network, and that there might be a series of agreements where each step is completed
142 Pu 736
July 1475 2012 23
before another layer is added . He stressed that the regional network would enhance the entire
area.
MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to direct staff to
work with the City of Vero Beach to draft an interlocal
agreement with the County, City of Vero Beach, Indian
River County School District, Ft . Pierce Utilities
Authority, St . Lucie County, and Martin County, for a
Regional Fiber Optic Cable Network, and to bring the
document back for Board consideration, as requested in
the memorandum of July 17 , 2012 .
Director of Public Works Chris Mora revealed the County ' s plans for laying fiber optic
1
cable along all the new road widening projects, including the 66`" Avenue Project, and noted that
the large amount of Traffic fiber optic cable will provide a more robust traffic engineering
system . He also explained how the County ' s telecommunications system has benefitted by
transitioning from copper to fiber optic cable .
The Chairman CALLED
THE QUESTION, and the
Motion carried unanimously . The Board directed staff to
work with the City of Vero Beach to draft an interlocal
agreement with the County, City of Vero Beach, Indian

14. D. 1. REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION FOR ECONOMIC INCENTIVE FOR THE
ENTERPRISE ZONE
Commissioner Flescher relayed that pending before the City of Vero Beach ("the City")
is a proposed Ordinance that would provide for an exemption equal to 50 percent of the
Municipal Public Service Tax on electrical energy used by qualified businesses in the Indian
River County-Vero Beach Enterprise Zone . He estimated that a company saving $ 60480 a
month would reap almost $ 1 , 000 in annual savings ; with the proposed five-year cap , it could be a
$ 5 , 000 incentive for that business to come into the Enterprise Zone . He added that the savings
might not convince a business to locate in the Enterprise Zone, but it is one more element that
can be added to the available incentives , and it broadens the welcome mat . Commissioner
Flescher pointed out that the Enterprise Zone consists of an incorporated and an unincorporated
region, and wanted to see if the Board would be interested in learning whether businesses in the
unincorporated area could also take advantage of the exemption.
Attorney Polackwich remarked that while the State Statute deals with local government
incentives for enterprise zones, it is a somewhat gray area. However, he noted that State law
does encourage local governments to create incentives within the enterprise zone .
Commissioner Flescher, in response to Commissioner Davis ' s inquiry, explained that the
form to apply for the 50 % exemption is available on the Department of Revenue ' s website, as
Form DR- 15JEZ Application for the Exemption of Electrical Energy Used in an Enterprise Zone ,
Chairman Wheeler wanted to have staff return with further information on this matter.
Commissioner Flescher reiterated that he was seeking staff' s analysis on the feasibility of
offering the exemption on utility taxes for electrical energy to businesses in the unincorporated
area of the Enterprise Zone, as well as within the City Limits .
July 17 20:12 25 14 2 7 3
Attorney Polackwich advised that staff' s approach would be to explore the entire
spectrum of incentives that can be offered to businesses in the Enterprise Zone, and report back
to the Board .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to direct staff to
research and report back to the Commission on : ( 1 ) the
ti
viability of providing for an exemption equal to 50 % of
the municipal tax on electrical energy to businesses in the
unincorporated region of the Enterprise Zone; and (2) all
available options that can be offered to businesses in the
Enterprise Zone ,
Helene Caseltine, Economic Development Director, Indian River Chamber of
Commerce, 1216 21St St, and Enterprise Zone Coordinator, revealed that only a handful of the
enterprise zones in Florida are providing the 50% exemption as a local government incentive .
She noted that although the incentive doesn ' t have a huge financial impact, it does , as
Commissioner Flescher stated, "broaden the welcome mat" and give the County an additional
incentive for businesses in the Enterprise Zone ,
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried unanimously . The Board directed staff to
research and report back to the Commission on : ( 1 ) the
viability of providing for an exemption equal to 50% of
the municipal tax on electrical energy to businesses in the
unincorporated region of the Enterprise Zone ; and (2) all
available options that can be offered to businesses in the

Representative Ralph Poppell about the Agenda Item under discussion ( IO . A . 1 . ) He brought up
