PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD
County Attorney Alan S . Polackwich Sr. rovided background and defined th
p g e
objectives for the 2011 redistricting of the five County Commissioner Districts , noting that one
of the key goals is distributing the population as equally as possible among the Districts . He
relayed that Will Rice, County Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Manager ; in coordination
with Dori Roy, Executive Assistant, County Administrator; Supervisor of Elections Leslie Swan
and IT Manager Gary Gordon ; Judith Stang, Executive Assistant, School Board ; and Assistant
County Attorney Brooke Odom has drafted two Redistricting Proposals for Board consideration
today . Attorney Polackwich conveyed that this is the third public hearing on this matter, and
asked the Board to approve one of the two proposals so final redistricting documents can be
prepared for the last public hearing on October 18 , 2011 .
Mr. Rice used a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file) , to provide background and
analysis on the redistricting objectives and criteria set forth in the 2011 Redistricting Guidelines
adopted by the Board on July 12 , 2011 . He reported that based on current County population,
when the districts are reallocated, each should contain an ideal target population of
approximately 27 , 606 people per district (plus or minus three percent) . He displayed maps to
illustrate the population distribution in the existing County Commissioner districts, and
summarized 2011 Redistricting Proposals 1 and 2 as follows :

REDISTRICTING PROPOSAL 1
Mr. Rice pointed out the existing boundaries and outlined the proposed changes as
follows :
Sebastian : The municipal boundaries would be moved to Sebastian Boulevard (County
Road 512 [CR 512] ) and Laconia Street. The northern boundary of District 5 on the Barrier
Island would be moved to County Road 510 (CR 510) .
Vero Beach : The existing boundaries for the center of the County and Vero Beach
would be moved to 66th Avenue, 41st Street, and the Florida East Coast Railroad (FEC) .
South County : Mr. Rice pointed out an area of one square mile proposed to be
transferred from District 4 to District 3 , in order to balance population in the two districts .
REDISTRICTING PROPOSAL 2
Mr. Rice relayed that were no changes to Districts 1 , 3 , or 4 in Proposal 2 , and presented
the following changes to Districts 2 and 5 :
District 5 : The entire Barrier Island would be allocated to District 5 .
Mainland : A one-mile square rectangular area between 41 " Street and 45th Street would
be shifted from District 5 to District 2 and exchanged for the Barrier Island north of CR 510 .
Mr . Rice affirmed that both Redistricting Proposals meet the redistricting criteria for
population .
Attorney Polackwich observed that when the final Redistricting Proposal comes back in
October, there will be a Resolution to adopt maps of the five Commissioner Districts , to which

Community Development Director Robert Keating provided a status update on a historic
Sebastian property listed on the National Register of Historic Places . He recalled that when the
County acquired the parcel in 2007 , the original plans were to rehabilitate the residence for use
as a small museum ; to repair the dock and provide boat access ; and to restore the ice house . He
described initial improvements that staff made since the purchase, including the demolition of a
derelict building, but said that with high restoration costs and few funding prospects , the County
will probably not be able to undertake the final renovation of the structures in the near future .
He relayed that subsequent to the County ' s purchase of the property, the City of Sebastian
established its Working Waterfront Project, which might lead to some degree of City
involvement .
Responding to Commissioner Davis ' s query, Director Keating confirmed that he did not
perceive any safety issues .
