COMMISSIONERS HA VING OR NOT HAyING FULL TIME STAFF ASSISTANT,
AND PERMIT & LICENSE ON 60 ' R/W PRIOR TO WORK BEING
PERFORMED BY C. N. KIRRIE
Fred Mensing, 7580 129 ' Street, decided not to discuss Commissioners having or not
having a full time staff assistant, his first item, since the matter had been resolved .
Mr. Mensing proceeded to discuss his second topic . He detailed the history of events
that led up to today ' s issues and concerns regarding a County-owned 60 -foot right-of--way strip ,
ie without first obtaining permits . He thereafter provided
and the work performed by C . N . Kirr
• his rationale why staff should inform Mr. Kirrie to not do any improvements on the property,
ftair
UK 141 PG 185
July 19 , 2011 9
except to mow, without first obtaining the required permits , and until the situation is resolved by
the Courts .
Public Works Director Chris Mora presented photos depicting the right-of--way Mr.
Mensing referenced, and the area where herbicide was sprayed to kill exotics and pepper trees .
He clarified that citizens are allowed to maintain County-owned right-of--ways without obtaining
a permit.
Discussion ensued between the Commissioners and staff regarding the removal of the
dead vegetation; the County ' s difficulty in cleaning up the right-of-way property due to debris
interspersed with exotics ; and the liens against Mr. Mensing for property cleanup .
Director Mora felt the best solution to the situation would be to have the property owner
clean up the property .
Mr. Mensing mentioned that this property is not contiguous to Mr . Kirrie ' s property, and i
that there are two active lawsuits against the County regarding the possession of the road, which
he intends to pursue . He has no problem with the mowing of the right-of-way, but he does have
concerns over someone removing material things from the property, especially since the matter is
being contested .
County Attorney Alan Polackwich, Sr. confirmed that the County owns and maintains the
property by reason of a 2008 Resolution. He also pointed out that Mr. Mensing had filed two
lawsuits since 2010 , and both were dismissed by the Courts .
Commissioner Flescher believed the County has the obligation to maintain the right-of-
way, despite the pending litigation. He did not feel staff could/should prevent Mr . Kirrie from
mowing and improving the right-of-way ; and he suggested law enforcement oversee the
maintenance and removal of debris from the right-of-way property .

July 19 , 201
Discussion further ensued regarding ingress and egress to the property, code enforcement
violations , and the maintenance and responsibility of County right-of--ways .
Commissioner O ' Bryan felt the Board should fulfill Mr . Mensing ' s request. He proposed
sending a letter to Mr. Kirrie informing him not to do any mechanical work, herbiciding,
digging, trenching, etc . on the right-of--way property; however, he can mow and pick up trash .
He also pointed out that if Mr. Kirrie wants to do anything additional , he would need to obtain a
County permit.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Vice Chairman Wheeler, to send a letter
to Mr. Kirrie informing him that he is only authorized to
do simple mowing and pick up trash, and any additional
activity in the right-of--way would require a County
permit .
Commissioner Flescher wished to see the right-of-way cleaned up, but not at the burden
of Mr. Mensing .
Chairman Solari said he did not support the motion because he did not believe further
discussion would resolve the dispute , nor the lawsuits that had been going on for many years .
Vice Chairman Wheeler WITHDREW his SECOND .
MOTION DIED for lack of a SECOND .
Mr. Mensing reiterated his request and also voiced concern over a gate and fence that was
removed from the property . In addition, he suggested making the road a one-way street to
eliminate existing problems .

II .A. RE UEST FOR CLARIFICATION 2010-2011 FLORIDA RETIREMENT
SYSTEM SAVINGS
County Administrator Joseph Baird sought clarification and direction on how the Board
wanted him to handle the savings from the Florida Retirement System (FRS) , from July 1St
through September 30th of this fiscal year.
Discussion ensued with the Commissioners voicing their views , opinions, and
preferences regarding the Sheriff s Budget.
Vice Chairman Wheeler wanted to see an accounting showing the numbers and where the
money was spent.
Administrator Baird felt any left over money should be used to purchase the Sheriff s
vehicles as long as they are considered the highest priority . He thought it would be best to bring
this back to the Board in October for review.
Under discussion the Board expressed their support of the Sheriffs Budget, his flexibility
to manage it, and the Sheriff keeping the FRS retirement savings for his capital .
July 19 , 2011 12 UK ! 4 I P6 I $ Q
Sheriff Loar informed the Board that about fifteen vehicles were ordered at the end of the
second quarter, and that his office was in the process of paying for them through the dollars that
were saved through the flexibility he was given from the Board in November.
Administrator Baird reiterated the Board ' s direction that the Constitutionals will return
their Florida Retirement System (FRS ) savings to the County, but the Sheriff will keep his FRS
savings for capital , and after October an evaluation would be made to decide which vehicles
would be paid for with the Optional One-Cent Sales tax .
11A DISCUSSION ON MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL = ADDITION
Administrator Baird informed the Board that after a group discussion with Minor League
Baseball (MiLB) President Pat O ' Connor, MiLB Vice President Craig Callan, County Attorney
Alan Polackwich, Management and Budget Director Jason Brown, and Assistant County
Administrator Michael Zito , there were concerns regarding pending issues (a property land swap
with the City of Vero Beach, building youth baseball cloverleaf fields , and the possibility of
Marlin Immell from Tower Sports LLC leasing the Vero Beach Sports Village) . He conveyed
that Mr. Immell did not want the cloverleaf fields ; therefore, the project with Bill Bryant and
Associates had been postponed . He said that MiLB had given the County two weeks to get the
Agreement executed with the proposed tenant, and if the proposed tenant does not produce the
money, they would still want the facility and the cloverleaf fields .
Attorney Polackwich reiterated and further clarified Administrator Baird ' s update . He
said staff' s primary consideration was to not spend $2 . 5 million on the cloverleaf fields unless
they are going to be used . He said that even though the land swap documents have been signed,
he chose not to record them due to the uncertainty of the cloverleaf fields and Mr . Immell ' s
proposal . If the proposed tenant (Mr. Immell) does not provide the funds , then staff will move
forward with MiLB discussions . Attorney Polackwich conveyed that a Cash Escrow Agreement
had been prepared and signed, but the money has not been funded . If it does get funded, the
money will remain in escrow for 30 days while staff tries to finalize an Agreement. He asked the
i
July 19 , 2011 13 BK 14 1 PG 18 9
Board to authorize the Administrator or Chairman to execute the Agreement on behalf of the
Board .
In response to Commissioner O ' Bryan ' s concerns , Attorney Polackwich informed the
Board that Mr . O ' Connor had agreed to send an e-mail confirming their agreement to wait two
weeks before moving forward .
ON MOTION by Commissioner O ' Bryan, SECONDED
by Vice Chairman Wheeler, the Board by a 4-0 vote
(Commissioner Davis absent) authorized the Chairman
and/or County Administrator to execute a Cash Escrow
Agreement, with Mr . Immell , if/when the funds are
deposited into the County ' s account .

EXPANSIONPROJECT
Assistant County Administrator Michael Zito , using a PowerPoint presentation (on file) ,
provided description and analysis regarding the proposed $ 1 . 5 million to design/build three
multi-purpose athletic fields to accommodate youth football , soccer, and lacrosse groups , as well
as a walking trail at South County Regional Park. He pointed out that staff would later examine
the need for lighting, fencing, bleachers , parking, restroom, and concessions . He recommended
the Board authorize staff to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to begin the project, and
additionally stated that the funding source would be from impact fees in the Parks and
Recreation impact fee account, not from taxpayers .
Discussion ensued regarding the projected total cost of the project, the anticipated
maintenance of the fields , and public facility enhancements .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher,
SECONDED by Commissioner O ' Bryan, to approve
staff s recommendation.
Attorney Polackwich emphasized that since the funding for the project needs to come
from impact fees , there is a legal requirement for the Board to determine that this project is
necessary to accommodate new growth in the County .
July 19 , 2011 15 KK 141 PG 19
Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, questioned whether there would be sufficient
space for the proposed Boys and Girls Club gymnasium after the fields are built . Administrator
Baird and Assistant Administrator Zito assured him there would be .
Steven Deardeuff, 21St Court, Vero Beach, stressed how impact fees relate to the level of
service . He listed his reasons why he did not feel staff was increasing capacity , and cautioned
the Board not to misuse impact fees .
Renee Renzi, Waverly Place , wanted to know if the pressure has eased for adding a
skateboard park. Assistant Administrator Zito indicated there had not been recent interest.
Charles Wilson , 1057 6th Avenue , Vero Beach, emphasized that the use of impact fees
are very specific as to how they relate to the level of service, and how they should be used. He
voiced concern over proposed expenditures , the appropriation of impact fees , and thereafter
urged the Board to be careful with impact fee restrictions .
Administrator Baird clarified the funding for the project.
Attorney Polackwich said he felt comfortable with staff' s recommendation and the
Board' s decision that improvements are necessary to accommodate new growth .
Penny Chandler, President of the Indian River Chamber of Commerce, spoke in support
of staffs recommendation for the multi-purpose fields since there is an increased demand for
youth sports .
Brian Connelly, 3010 Nassau Drive , Vero Beach, supported the multi-purpose athletic
field expansion project.

•
Mike Swan , 1280 Indian Mound Trail , Vero Beach, supported the project ; felt Lacrosse,
football , and soccer teams would use the fields ; and believed there is evidence that building
these amenities would add to the quality of life and attract economic growth .
Attorney Polackwich clarified that the promotion of economic growth is not an impact
fee issue, this needs to be constructed to accommodate the new growth in the County .
Todd Heckman, 2096 Windward Way, Vero Beach, supported the construction project.
Chairman Solari recapped the Motion, noting that the Motion includes the finding that the
multi-purpose fields are necessary to provide the recreation opportunities caused by community
growth.
Commission O ' Bryan reported that the 2010 Census numbers in District 4 (where the
fields would be located) have exceeded the average growth in the County, which provides new
infrastructure to accommodate the growth .
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the
Motion carried . The Board by a 4-0 vote (Commissioner
Davis absent), authorized the issuance of a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) to design/build three (3 ) multi-
purpose athletic fields and walking trail at South County
Regional Park, as recommended in the memorandum of
July 8 , 2011 .
The Chairman called a break at 10: 59 a. m. , and reconvened the meeting at 11 : 10 a. m. ,

13 B HIRING OF SPECL4L UTILITY COUNSEL (INCL UDING APPRAISAL
SERVICES) RELATING TO POSSIBLE AcoUISITION OF CITY OF VERO
BEACH WATERISEWER SYSTEM
Attorney Polackwich provided a brief history on the possible acquisition and
regionalization of the City of Vero Beach ' s water and sewer system . He informed the Board that
the City Council had authorized the hiring of a combined law firm and evaluation team (Thomas
Cloud of the law firm of Gray Robinson, and Gerry Hartman of GAI Consultants) to explore
possible regionalization. Attorney Polackwich felt that if the County does not have expertise,
staff would not be able to challenge the expected high evaluation ; therefore, he suggested hiring
the law firm of Nabors , Giblin, and Nickerson, P . A . , who will hire the appraisal/valuation firm of
Raftelis Financial Consultants . He said the Nabors law firm capped their total combined fees at
$ 50, 000 without further Board approval . He requested Board approval to hire said combinationnf'

conveyed that the winning bidder was Richard Peacock, with a bid of $ 160 , 000 . He said the
County is ready to close ; however; during the closing proceedings it was discovered that Mr.
Peacock was in a reorganization bankruptcy, and needs to obtain permission from the
Bankruptcy Court in order to proceed with the closing . He indicated that after staff spoke to the
Bankruptcy Attorney, they saw no reason why the Court would not approve of the sale . He also
•

requested an extension of September 15 , 2011 .

Attorney Polackwich pointed out that this bankruptcy procedure is not a liquidation, but
rather a reorganization where a plan for payment is established .
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the

new closing date with Mr. Peacock for Old Fire Station
