Ginger Wald of Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A. presented to the Board an overview of the proposed Seagrove Community Development District (CDD). She advised the Community Development District (CDD), an independent special purpose district of local government created under Chapter 190, Florida Statutes and have the power to finance, fund, plan, establish, acquire, construct or reconstruct, enlarge or extend, equip, operate, and maintain systems, facilities, and basic infrastructure for public roadways, bridges, streetlights, traffic signals, water and sewer facilities, stormwater management, signage landscaping, amenities, public facilities, conservation/mitigation areas, and security. The Community Development District (CDD) cannot regulate land use, change the zoning, finance private improvements, issue building permits, issueaAmend development orders, or provide police and fire services. A CDD is established when a petition is filed with the City, County, or State and is governed by a five (5) member Board of Supervisors. The Community Development District (CDD) is financed through Tax-exempt bonds, including long-term bonds and the bonds are secured by special assessments levied on property within the boundaries. The petition filed to establish Seagrove Community Development District (CDD) with the County consists of approximately 280.73 acres and 349 single-family homes and 306 townhomes. The development proposes to fund stormwater management, water and sewer, entrance roadway and bridge improvements, landscaping, and irrigation improvements. Also, proposes to issue tax-exempt bonds secured by non-ad valorem special assessments levied on land within the boundaries. The special assessments levied on the property within the CDD will especially benefit from the improvements and only property owners within the development will be responsible for the costs associated. The administrative expenses of the development to operate and maintain the Improvements will also only be borne by the property owners within the development. All purchasers/prospective homeowners will receive disclosure notice of the existence of the Seagrove Development and the imposition of special assessments for improvements on the subject property and brochure. The approximate cost for the improvements is $13 million. The County staff has reviewed the Petition to establish Seagrove CDD and has confirmed that all the statutory requirements have been met: • The establishment of the Seagrove Community Development District (CDD) and all land uses and services planned are not inconsistent with any applicable element or portion of the state comprehensive plan or effective local government comprehensive plan. Page 18 of 339 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 10, 2023 6:00 PM 11 | Page • The area of land within the Seagrove Community Development District (CDD) is part of a unified plan of development that has been approved by the City of Weston and is of sufficient size and is sufficiently compact and contiguous to be developable as one functional interrelated community. • Seagrove Community Development District (CDD) will be the best alternative available for delivering community development services and facilities to the area that will be serviced by the development without impacting persons residing outside the CDD. • Seagrove Community Development District (CDD) services and facilities will be compatible with the capacity and use of existing local and regional community development services and facilities and provide for the operation and maintenance of Seagrove CDD services and facilities in the future • The area to be served by Seagrove Community Development District (CDD) is amenable to separate special-district government Ms. Wald advised the criteria for the formation of a Seagrove Community Development District (CDD), on behalf of the Petitioner and Lennar Homes, and requested the Boards to approve the formation of the Seagrove Community Development District. Commissioner Dzadovsky commented on the presentation and expressed his appreciation in the explanation that the CDD does not consist of a County level tax. He expressed his concern about the new homeowner's knowledge of the CDD assessment and not being levied by the County. He mentioned a possible provision with the state within the disclosure of the CDD for buyers to sign a statement that they are aware it is a Non- County or City-level tax fee for the assessment. He expressed his concerns regarding the challenges of first-time homeowners buying into a CDD community and when the house is sold the CDD document does not transfer to the subsequent owner. Commissioner Dzadovsky commented and questioned if once the infrastructure is done with water and sewer will the main lines be turned back over to the County for maintenance or will the CDD be responsible for the cost. George Landry the Director of Public Utilities advised if a developer enters an agreement with a pending CDD or not their infrastructure within the main roadways/main trunk lines to serve the homes once constructed will be turned over to the County to maintain the main trunk lines not the individual services to the homes. The Board did not have any more questions or comments on this item. Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. With no one wishing to address the Board, Chair Townsend closed the public hearing. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.

A Small-Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment to change the land use category from COM (Commercial) to the RH (Residential High - 15DU/AC) category, affecting +/-6.37 acres, submitted by Dr. Alec Wynne on behalf of the Wynne Building Corporation - ADOPTION HEARING *Item presented in conjunction with 9.B.3.* *Ordinance number amended post-meeting to reflect a more appropriate sequence. ORD-2023-37 is now ORD-2023-2. Kori Benton, Planning & Development Services Planning Manager, presented this item to the Board. Following the public notice requirements of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code, an advertisement for the public hearing was placed in the Local Newspaper on October 7, 2022, and notices were mailed to 30 adjacent property owners located within 500 feet of the subject property, and signs were placed on the subject property. The Wynne Building Corporation proposed an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map to change the Category of +/- 6.37 acres from the Commercial category to the Residential High (RH) up to the 15 du/ac category. Areas designated Residential High (RH) are intended to accommodate high-density development, not to exceed 15 dwelling units per gross acre. To develop at this intensity, it must be possible to connect to a central water and wastewater service facility, and the subject property must be located in an area of the County which has available all urban services and facilities including fire protection, police, recreation, roadways, and schools. The project is located within the Urban Services Boundary along an established St. Lucie County Transit Corridor, Area Regional Transit Route 1. The applicant proposed potable water and sanitary sewer connections with the Port St. Lucie Utility Systems Department and has designed a future transit stop at the subject site. A concurrent application proposes a Zoning Atlas Amendment Rezoning from the Commercial General zoning district to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district for the same +/-6.37 acres and an associated Preliminary PUD Site Plan to develop up to 96 dwelling units, to be known as the Ibis Planned Unit Development. The site is part of a 14.59-acre commercial segment of the Spanish Lakes Commercial Center Major Site Plan, a component of the overall 244.47-acre Spanish Lakes development, located just south of 8000 South US Highway 1, Port St. Lucie. The project consists of an apartment complex with ninety-six (96) multifamily units and amenities such as a 3,800 sq ft. clubhouse, pool, pickleball court, associated parking and drainage infrastructure, and landscaping. The proposed change in zoning should not affect the acceptable level of service capacity of transportation facilities, parks, drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, or emergency medical facilities, with the site situated central to existing facilities. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the petition at their November 17, 2022 meeting upon discussion, the Commission voted to continue the hearing until their December 15, 2022 meeting recommending the applicant hold a second neighborhood meeting, evaluate removing the project’s internal connections to Page 21 of 339 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 10, 2023 6:00 PM 14 | Page Mediterranean Boulevard and provide greater detail of the proposed stormwater plan. The applicant held an additional neighborhood meeting with approximately forty (40) residents and revised the Preliminary PUD Site Plan to eliminate direct access to Mediterranean Boulevard, and presented the preliminary drainage plans in greater detail. Staff has reviewed these petitions and determined that they conform to the Standards of Review as outlined in Sections 11.06.03 and 11.02.07 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and are consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies. Staff recommended the Board approve the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment, authorizing the Chair to sign the associated Ordinance as approved by the County Attorney. Dr. Alec Wynne address the Board on behalf of the Wynne Building Corporation and provided a brief overview of the project and highlighting the information presented by staff, the central location of the projected development, green space, parking, traffic flow, property access, buffers, site plan, and the design of the four (4) story building complex with elevator accommodation.

REGULAR AGENDA A. COUNTY ATTORNEY 1. $300,000.00 Settlement Demand by Edna Guettler LC, LLC Relating to Alleged Conspiracy, Trespass, and Temporary Taking Claims Katherine Barbieri, Assistant County Attorney III, presented this item to the Board. On December 14, 2022, the County received a demand letter from Edna L. Guettler, LC LLC threatened to file a lawsuit against the County along with co-defendant Vero Producers, Inc. and, according to Fla. Stat. § 768.28(6), demanded that the County pay $300,000 in damages within 30 days to resolve the claims at issue before Guettler would otherwise proceed to file suit. Guettler’s claims are based on its conclusory allegations that Mr. McIntyre was the principal actor at the County involved in conspiring to take Guettler’s land, as Mr. McIntyre was the point of contact in applying for, and ultimately executed, the Florida Communities Trust Grant Award Agreement which facilitated the County’s purchase of the Pinelands Preserve. The complaint further alleges that, upon information and belief, Mr. McIntyre further conspired with the transaction’s closing agent, Frank Fee III of Treasure Coast Abstract & Title Insurance Co., to obtain title insurance in conjunction with the Pinelands Preserve’s purchase despite knowing no insurable access to the Pinelands Preserve existed. Upon the purchase of Pinelands Preserve the County’s, title insurance was obtained from Treasure Coast Abstract & Title Insurance, Co. the County is currently involved in a lawsuit titled Edna L. Guettler, LLC vs. St. Lucie County, Florida, and is pending in the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit in St. Lucie County. The title insurance policy is paying for an attorney to represent the County in the pending litigation and the attorney is Victor Petrescu with Levine Kellogg Lehman Schneider + Grossman LLP. Mr. Petrescu was asked to evaluate the new complaint and offer of settlement and the evaluation has been provided to the Board. Staff recommended the B oard accept Mr. Petrescu 's recommendation and reject Guettler’s settlement demand of $300,000.00 because the claims pled in Guettler’s Complaint appear to be both legally deficient and, in the case of its civil conspiracy claim, not supported by the facts.

DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Legislative Issues of Mutual Interest Nicole Fogarty, St. Lucie County, Government Relations Division Director, prepared a list of mutual legislative issues. All four Counties, staff, and Commissioner Jerry Burrows met and the results of the meeting were presented in a joint document for mutual agreement. The following is a summary of the highlighted items of mutual issues: State Progam • Opposition to any preemption of our Home Rule Authority • Opposition to Unfunded Mandates Page 30 of 339 BOCC Special Meeting Wednesday, January 11, 2023 10:00 AM 3 | Page • Support of the revisions to the Florida Broadband Opportunity Grant Program presented by Okeechobee and St. Lucie County for critical and essential in establishing high-speed internet service, either by infrastructure or accessibility, throughout the State of Florida. • 911 Public Safety Telecommunicators revising criteria in the Special Risk Class of Florida Retirement System • Extend the Charter County and Region Transportation System Surtax to non-charter Counties presented by Okeechobee County and St. Lucie County • Beach and Inlet Management Projects referencing all coastal counties St. Lucie, Martin, and Indian River County to support that grant cycle every year during the legislative session. • District 19 Medical Examiner Facility Planning & Design joint support on the $1 million appropriation request for the medical examiner. Federal Program • Support legislation that would restore pretrial detainee access to federal benefits a St. Lucie County issue with once an individual is arrested even without prosecution, they lose insurance benefits such as Medicaid, Medicare, and some Veterans benefits. This will help the County with inmate medical expenses received yearly. This policy contributes to the national behavioral and mental health crisis as well as rates of recidivism in our local jails. This does not apply to private insurance benefits only public ones. • Support a statute of limitations on American Rescue Plan Recoupment to prohibit the US Department of Treasury from recouping previously awarded funds for projects and services that have been certified as complete, for at least three years, which will be 2029. • Support Hurricane Ian and Nicole's relief efforts to keep all funding as one and not separate pools of reimbursement monies. • Support the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) South– Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. Discussion A suggestion was made for a cost analysis to be completed regarding the revision of the 911 Telecommunication criteria so that each County may choose to revise at their own expense. Chair Townsend commented and advised the revision for the first responders is to afford the same rights as firefighters, etc., to get the homestead exemption and if voted on it will apply at a statewide level although some positions may not qualify as special risk. Senator Gayle Harrell, District 25, advised if the 911 Public Safety Telecommunicator revision is passed on a statewide level it will come to the Counties as an unfunded mandate. Ms. Fogarty advised the first responder's homestead exemption which was on the ballot in 2022 did not pass, but there is an exemption available for injured first responders while on the job in Florida. Commissioner Dzadovksy suggested including private insurance in the support legislation for pretrial detainee access to save on County funding. Ms. Fogarty advised this would be under a separate act and can be amended as part of the initiative if the consensus of the Board decided to go that route. Commissioner Dzadovsky suggested a discussion for the next legislative period for the state to assist in negotiations on behalf of the Counties and stated a 10% max rate with Medicaid and Medicare would Page 31 of 339 BOCC Special Meeting Wednesday, January 11, 2023 10:00 AM 4 | Page help with inmate medical expenses. Ms. Fogarty clarified the request and advised the goal would be to get the approval of the federal government for an arrested individual's benefits to remain active until the end of their trial/prosecution and once prosecuted the state will continue to keep the Medicaid rate at 10% or below. The federal government blankets all the benefits and then moves on to the state for their approval. There was a discussion regarding grant funding for Affordable Housing, Workforce Housing, Senior Housing, training programs, and vocational programs to benefit the Treasure Coast with additional opportunities. Ms. Fogarty suggested monitoring the state legislative session for possible impacts on Counties and Municipalities and providing supportive language on affordable housing and workforce housing a much-needed component within the communities, given the increase in the housing market. There was a discussion regarding a generational transfer of property ability for properties to remain within families without a reset in homestead exemption or change in property taxes and incentives for rental property owners. Senator Gayle Harrell mentioned the support for an Indian River Lagoon South Comprehensive Everglades Restoration. In conclusion, there were further discussions regarding the National Estuary Program, wastewater stormwater, and septic to sewer. The supporting staff will schedule a meeting to discuss the affordable workforce housing verbiage among other items of discussion and delegate which topics will be presented to the legislators in the next term. There were no further questions or comments on this item. B. Safety Village Clint Sperber, St. Lucie County Department of Health, and Ronda Cerulli, Safe Kids Coalition Coordinator, presented an overview of the multifaceted Safety Village where children and adults will actively participate in hands-on safety lessons and more, such a facility will allow them the opportunity to demonstrate and apply knowledge gained while visiting.

New Medical Examiner Facility Update Alphonso Jefferson, St. Lucie County, Deputy County Administrator presented an update on the existing medical examiner facility. The medical examiner has outgrown the current facility and has no room for coolers, no safe, secure place to store files, white powder spraying onto bodies, trays, and floors; aluminum oxide, extreme heat, and condensation build-up in the autopsy room, with excess rust on equipment, no separate room for decomposed remains. The biggest problem is the need for adequate space for employees and proper storage for descendants and materials. The existing update: • The process has been initiated to replace the refrigeration systems for all the coolers at the facility in March 2023. • A process to conduct a weekly review of the systems every Friday to ensure everything is working properly. The team will continue to monitor until they can replace the systems. • County Facilities will serve as the point of contact on all facility-related issues. The Medical Examiner will utilize the facility work order system when a need arises. Facilities will coordinate with the other counties and Indian River State College on issues. • During the Fiscal Year 2024 budget process, Facilities will work with the Medical Examiner to identify and place a dollar amount on facility-related issues that may need repair or replacement. This will ensure that dollars are identified during the budget process. Any emergency repairs or replacement outside of the identified budgeted items will be coordinated by St. Lucie County Facilities with the other entities. All Counties including Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Indian River State College, and Medical Examiner have approved the Interlocal for the New Proposed Medical Examiner Facility. All approved documents are being received for final execution and recording. The St. Lucie County’s Attorney's Office will be working on a separate lease agreement for the use of the land at Indian River State College of approximately 2 acres with a long-term lease of 30 years with a 30- year renewal option and an annual rent of $1. Staff will continue to provide all stakeholders with the progress and continue with efforts to receive funding through the State legislative process to assist with the project. All stakeholders are aware of the $2 million planning cost number that is being utilized for Architectural Services for budgetary purposes. At this time, there are NO firm numbers on the cost of Architectural Services or Construction. Once final financial information is received the Counties will have an opportunity to review and approve. Due to the Governor’s Office not filing a budget resolution with the State Legislative Budget Commission, St. Lucie County’s Local Support Grant is in jeopardy of not being funded by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. This grant would have provided $1 million towards the design and planning of our new Medical Examiner Facility. Senator Harrell and Representative Trabulsy have confirmed their sponsorship of the 19th District Medical Examiner appropriation request of $1 million for the 2023 Legislative Session. Page 33 of 339 BOCC Special Meeting Wednesday, January 11, 2023 10:00 AM 6 | Page Discussion Senator Gayle Harrell expressed appreciation for efforts being made to receive state funding for the new facility but it is not the State's responsibility this is the County's responsibility and she will assist in any way she can. There were discussions regarding other funding sources to help fund medical examiner's offices throughout the state and local grants. There were no further questions or comments on this item. D. Martin County Connect to Protect Program Don Donaldson, Martin County, County Administrator, presented a brief overview of Martin County's Septic Sewer 10-year connect to protect the Grinder/Vacuum Sewer Program. The comprehensive approach to providing cost-effective residential connection to the central sewer system. The sewer infrastructure would be available to connect approximately 10,000 parcels with a potential nutrient reduction of up to ~100k lbs TN/yr and ~23K lbs TP/yr within the service area. The $160M infrastructure investment for septic to sewer water conversion in the comprehensive funding plan: • A 10-year Capital Facilities Plan for multi-year State Revolving Funding (SRF) • A Multi-Year capital improvement plan • The Interdepartmental coordination to help reduce cost and impacts • The County’s State Legislative Priority • Dedicated County funding: $2 million in state revenue sharing and $1.5 million in franchise fees • Federal, state, and local grants • Solar & Energy Loan Fund (SELF) Program The Solar Energy Fund (SELF) Program offers a special $1,000 incentive from MCU during sign-up, an affordable on-bill payment plan available through MCU and SELF, a guaranteed quality installation by MCU-approved contractors, no maintenance, no more pumping, inspections, or maintaining drain fields, and no more environmental pollution and potential contamination of watersheds. The grinder system and typical costs for actually installing the sewer system range from 12 to $25,000 per property. The goal is to keep the cost under 12,000 and the remainder of the disbursement comes from either a grant and then a loan which will be from the State Revolving Funding (SRF). The actual grinder system is provided with some discount which can be included on the wastewater bill at $85 a month over 10 years. There is no cost to the customer if they qualify for the SELF Program. The SELF program provides the funding back to utilities and pays for the installation and as the collector, the $85 per month gets reverted to the SELF Program as the lender keeping the County from being the lender. The SELf Program will take on all the liabilities of dealing with defaulted loans. The refined priority of the septic conversion areas is based on previous coordination with water and stormwater projects to reduce disruption. The program's success will be based on design, permitting for construction, customer service, financing/grants, policies and partnerships, and Page 34 of 339 BOCC Special Meeting Wednesday, January 11, 2023 10:00 AM 7 | Page measurable benefits. There were no questions or comments on this item. E. Broadband Opportunity Program Terry Burroughs, Okeechobee County, County Commissioner, and Rachel Aaron the Director of External Affairs for Comcast presented an overview of a Faster Florida Broadband Map expansion that will allow users to layer speed test data with congressional and legislative districts, environmentally sensitive areas, and anchor institutions such as schools, hospitals, colleges and universities, and libraries launched in June of 2022. Comcast is willing to bring $100 million to the table for the expansions. Comcast provided a broadband opportunity grant and received five submissions two from Okeechobee County, and one from Indian River, Martin, and St. Lucie County. The FAC supports funding for State Digital Equity grants to include digital navigator programs at the local level. The following are the statutory revisions to the state broadband grant program, Broadband Opportunity Program: • Removal of the Federal funding prohibition • Inclusion of waiver of match & rural considerations in grant review • Removal of challenge processes that result in grant blocks • Inclusion requirements for local involvement & strategic plan alignment • Clarifying definitions to align grant final rule & statute The Broadband Grant Program funded $400 million that went around through the state in three different areas and had some technical reviews with webinars and grant rules. Office of Broadband Opportunity Program awards are available to corporations, limited liability companies, general partnerships, and limited partnerships that are organized under the laws of this state or otherwise authorized to transact business in this state, political subdivisions, and Indian Tribes. The Grant funds may not be used to install or deploy broadband Internet service to a geographic area in which broadband Internet service is already deployed by at least one service provider. Eligible activities for program funding include the installation or deployment of infrastructure that supports the provision of reliable, affordable high-speed broadband internet service in underserved areas of the state. All funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024, and be expended by DEO by December 31, 2026. Additionally, another capital projects fund totaling $366 million has the primary objective of expanding last-mile access in rural communities. Mr. Burrough provided an overview of the DEO Legislative budget request and advised that for low-income communities, the FCC will be providing a website with an affordable connectivity program, that provides marketing material allowing an individual to receive internet service for $30 a month, or zero dollars based on their eligibility criteria household by household. All carriers should be active participants in the program and will provide the equipment for low-income families. There were no questions or comments on this item.

CALL TO ORDER - CATHY TOWNSEND, CHAIR BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS The meeting was called to order at 9:15 AM by Chair Cathy Townsend, District No. 5. Present Commissioner Cathy Townsend District 5, Commissioner Linda Bartz District 3, Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky District 1, Commissioner Larry Leet District 2, Commissioner Jamie Fowler District 4 Also present Dan McIntyre, County Attorney / Interim County Administrator Alphonso Jefferson, Deputy County Administrator Stan Payne, Director of Port & Airport Mark Satterlee, Deputy County Administrator Jeffrey Dougherty, Facilities Director George Landry, Solid Waste Director Erick Gill, Communications Division Director Scotty Beaulieu, Facilities Coordinator Colin Baenziger of Colin Baenziger & Associates (via video) Thomas Epsky, HR & Risk Management Director Katrina Slay, Agenda Coordinator Vera Smith, Deputy Clerk Recording Secretary 2. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Discussion and Presentation of the Facilities Masterplan Jeffrey Dougherty, Facilities Director, and Scotty Beaulieu, Facilities Coordinator presented this item to the Board. Staff provided a brief overview of the most recently approved Master Plans including the Port Master Plan, Parks Master Plan, Strategic Plan of Adoption, Stormwater Master Plan, and the Infrastructure Surtax Process. Staff provided building history within the County and advised the County has approximately 1.6 million square feet of space and Facilities maintained end-to-end 1.3 million including constitutional buildings, etc., with 300,000 maintained by Parks and Recreation. Staff proposed a Facilities Master Plan to prepare for a 600,000 population by 2050. In 2018 there was a study specifically related to the court system in the downtown Fort Pierce facilities acknowledged the area was sized at a population of 300,000 and the County is well above that at this time. A short-term recommendation was implemented at that time that Page 37 of 339 BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, January 17, 2023 9:00 AM 2 | Page was recently approved by the Board to complete the remodeling of the 2nd Floor to bring the 19th Judicial Circuits Administration from St. Lucie West into the downtown area. At this time an inmate medical study is underway and is also being reviewed by the Citizens Budget Committee. With the money spent on inmate medical treatment, it will be a much better cost to the County to transport the doctor, nurse, or medical practitioner to the facility than to transport the inmates to the medical facility with a guardian. This service will reduce costs by providing lower costs to taxpayers. A Facilities assessment has been conducted to install Q-Codes designed for lifecycle capital predicted of assets within the building in preparation for expense increases. The Medical Examiner Facility interlocal is in place and the Request for Proposal is underway. The Facilities Master Plan Overview: • Right-sizing space utilization • Proximity of residents to service • Flex space utilization (Buildings) • Own vs. Rent • Storage and Archiving needs Staff advised a Facilities Master Plan would look more into funding options in preparation to decrease expenses while evaluat ing the appropriate space, locations, and proper security to provide services for future growth within the County and the City. Discussion Commissioner Dzadovsky mentioned the budget for the Supervisor of Elections building and the annual cost and the possibility of being reduced if the County built a building and commented on the shared spacing of County buildings to reduce cost. He also discussed utilizing the spacing of the County by adding a medical facility within the jail to reduce costs. He would like to see more direction on the County’s growth and suggested campus-style opportunities in a central location for multiple opportunities for the public to interact with local government to make things more efficient. The Board also discussed the loss of agriculture, the design of a central location, the maintenance cost of the current County-owned buildings and rebuilding, population growth, usage of office space, Clover Park renovation, management of tourism, and a triage center at the jail which will be discussed in a future informal meeting. No consensus was made. B. Proposed Joint Meeting with the City of Fort Pierce Discussion Dan McIntyre, County Attorney presented to the Board a request from the City of Fort Pierce Mayor for a joint meeting for a discussion. The Board and the City of Fort Pierce have met in the past and the topic of discussion will need to be outlined before the meeting is scheduled. The Board will have an informal discussion regarding the topics and a joint meeting will be set. Page 38 of 339 BOCC Informal Meeting Tuesday, January 17, 2023 9:00 AM 3 | Page 3.

Economic Development Ad Valorem Exemption to Add One Year for Expansion of an Existing Business Caroline Valentin, Assistant County Attorney, presented this item to the Board. City Electric Supply Company, Inc.,/ TAMCO an existing business applied for a real property and personal property economic development ad valorem exemption for its facility at 11675 Tom Mackie Boulevard in Port St. Lucie and a job growth investment grant. TAMCO proposed to create fifty (50) new jobs. The Property Appraiser reviewed and approved the application. City Electric Supply/TAMCO requests that the Board amend Ordinance 21-002 by further extending the job creation time frames for an additional period of one year so the first job creation milestone would be applicable for the 2023 calendar year, with the remaining job creation schedule being extended by one year through 2027. Pete Tesch, Economic Development Council President, Frank Mc Shane General Manager of TAMCO, and Page 48 of 339 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 24, 2023 9:00 AM 10 | Page Jordan McGinn Co-Vice president of TAMCO addressed the Board and provided a brief overview of the proposed expansion. The company submitted its Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption application to the Property Appraiser’s office in January 2020. At the time of submission, the existing employment was 210 employees. However, due to COVID-19, the company reduced its workforce to 160 employees.

Staff initially requested the Board's approval to sue Marburger Ranch, LLC., now based on their actions and their good faith effort to file the required ap plications and paid fees, and work with the Code Enforcement Board. Staff requested the Board to consider a continuance of the process and for them to go before Code Enforcement Board on May 3, 2023, if they have not fulfilled the abatement.

Mayte Santamaria, Planning & Development Services Director advised it took a month to meet with the applicant to discuss potential strategies to comply, and just recently the company paid the fees and submitted a conditional use application and a text amendment to create the option a Conditional Use PRD within the AG-5 Future Land Use District which are still in review.

Culpepper & Terpening - Mediation Settlement Agreement Daniel McIntyre, County Attorney, presented this item to the Board. A proposed mediation settlement agreement that involves concerns to design and permit drainage improvements incidental to a road extension project on Lennard Road and Tilton Road. the County has received drainage complaints from some of the property owners abutting Tilton Road. The Kane family, who are the owners of one of the parcels allegedly affected, sued the County for inverse condemnation. Complaints, which have now resulted in ongoing litigation, have also been reported by William and Florence Bessemer, the owners of the property across the road, south from the Kane parcel, known hereinafter as the Bessemer Parcel. The County has engaged a third-party engineer, Kimley-Horn, to evaluate the design and permitting for the drainage improvements. Kimley-Horn's analysis indicates that C&T’s design and permitting work suffered from design errors. C&T retained an independent engineer that disputes Kimley-Horn's analysis. The County has been involved in two lawsuits from neighbors one has been settled, and the other is still ongoing. On Page 57 of 339 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, January 24, 2023 9:00 AM 19 | Page January 5, 2023, the parties met in mediation. A summary of the Mediation Settlement Agreement follows: • The agreement does not constitute an admission of fault or liability by any party. • C&T shall pay or cause to be paid to the County the total sum of $850,000.00. Payment of the Settlement Sum shall be made under the following terms:  $660,000.00 by check to the County within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the agreement  $190,000.00 shall be recovered by the County by discounting invoices submitted by C&T after the effective date of the agreement by 50% and under the following terms:  $150,000.00 shall be recovered by the County by discounting all invoices submitted by C&T relating to and flowing from the parties’ contract for CEI Services on Edwards Road Reconstruction, US 1 to Oleander Avenue.  $40,000.00 shall be recovered by the County by discounting all invoices submitted by C&T for all other work. The 50% discount on all C&T invoices shall continue up until the remaining 190,000.00 of the settlement sum is recovered. After the County's receipt of that portion of the settlement sum of the Mediated Settlement Agreement, the County shall submit to the Court within ten (ten) days a joint stipulation for dismissal of the County's Third-Party Complaint against C&T in the Bessemer Lawsuit and mutual releases will be given. Due to the magnitude and complexity of the claim, the County retained Robert Alfert, Esq., as special counsel to assist in reviewing the claim, in an attempt to resolve and prosecute if not resolved. The proposed settlement, if approved, would reimburse the County for amounts paid to Kane as part of the Kane settlement. The Bessemer litigation will remain pending but County staff and Kimley-Horn believe that with actions already taken by implementing the "fix" recommended by Kimley-Horn and improving the situation the County will have eliminated any alleged impacts from the County's road project. Another reason to settle the claim is that the County hopefully will be able to move forward with C&T in a positive manner. C&T is a local firm that hires local people and has provided excellent service to the County over a long period. C&T is currently working on existing matters for the County and providing an acceptable level of service. Staff recommended that the Board approves the mediated settlement and directs the County Attorney to implement the settlement. The Board did not have any questions or comments on this item. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.

LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the following determinations: 1.Black History Month, or National African American History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. 2.Each year, in February, an entire month of events are planned nationwide honoring the history and contributions of African Americans. The theme for Black History Month in 2023 is "Black Resistance”. African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing oppression, in all forms, especially the racial terrorism of lynching, racial pogroms, and police killings since our arrival upon these shores. Black people have sought ways to nurture and protect Black lives, and for autonomy of their physical and intellectual bodies through armed resistance, voluntary emigration, nonviolence, education, literature, sports, media, and legislation/politics. 3. Black faith institutions were spaces where Black communities met to organize resistance efforts, inspired folk to participate in the movements, and offered sanctuary during times of crisis. To promote awareness of the myriad of issues and activities media outlets were developed including radio shows, podcasts, newspapers (i.e. Chicago Defender, Chicago Bee, the Afro, The California Eagle, Omaha Star, the Crisis, etc.). These outlets were pivotal in sharing the successes and challenges of resistance movements. By resisting, Black people have achieved triumphs, successes, and progress as seen in the end of chattel slavery, dismantling of Jim and Jane Crow segregation in the South, increased political representation at all levels of government, desegregation of educational institutions, the passage of Civil Rights Act of 1964, the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History in DC and increased and diverse representation of Black experiences in media. Black resistance strategies have served as a model for every other social movement in the country, thus, the legacy and importance of these actions cannot be understated. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida that this Board does hereby proclaim February 2023 as "NATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN/BLACK HISTORY MONTH" in St. Lucie County, Florida and encourages all citizens to participate in all activities planned to celebrate National African American/Black History Month. PASSED AND DULY ADOPTED this 7th day of February 2023.

No TO: Board of County Commissioners PRESENTED BY: JoAnn Riley, Property Acquisition Manager SUBMITTED BY: Property Acquisition Division SUBJECT: Ratifying the Purchase of Property located on Avenue F, North 35th Street and Avenue G for County Right-of-Way BACKGROUND: On February 2, 2022, the Property Acquisition Division was contacted by a title company inquiring about a "U" shaped property, Parcel ID 2404-608-0186-000-9, that surrounds 6 parcels. The "U" shaped parcel was owned by an individual but appeared to be road right-of-way. After further review by County staff, it was determined that the parcel is County right-of-way and was somehow erroneously sold to an individual. The parcel was currently up for a tax deed sale due to unpaid property taxes. St. Lucie County Road & Bridge Division has been maintaining these roads for decades. The Public Works Director and the County Attorney felt that it was in the best interest of the public to bid on the tax deed sale and try to acquire the parcel for right-of-way. On January 23, 2023, the Tax Deed auction was held and St. Lucie County was the successful winning bidder, acquiring the parcel for $2,728.90. PREVIOUS ACTION: N/A FINANCIAL IMPACT: 310016-4115-561000-410000 - Land Acquisitions Public Works Department RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board ratify the purchase of Parcel ID 2404-608-0186-000-9 for County right-of-way.

Without further evaluation, it does not appear this structure can be saved. The cost to repair the structure would most likely exceed fifty percent (50%) of the value after the repairs. I recommend condemnation and demolition of the damaged structure.

No TO: Board of County Commissioners PRESENTED BY: Rangel Guerrero, Public Safety Director SUBMITTED BY: Public Safety SUBJECT: FY 23 Sole Source Procurement Request for EOC Security Upgrades BACKGROUND: The Public Safety Department is requesting a sole source procurement for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Front Gate Access system from CDA Solutions, Incorporated in the amount of $34,179.77. The Public Safety Front Gate Automated Access was installed in 2009, during construction of the building. The Front Gate is no longer under warranty. Although CDA Solutions, Incorporated was not the original installers of the Front system, they have been the sole maintenance and service provider for the Automated Front Gate Access for over 13 years and have intimate knowledge of these systems and the EOC building layout. This “rebuild” is to repair/upgrade our current entrance/exit gates (total four) at the EOC. The current system uses a chain drive cantilever with wheels. This system fails frequently and are in the process of upgrading/replacing the drive mechanism to a smoother rail system. Since we operate the County’s Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP – 9-1-1 Center), we must ensure that we meet and exceed Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) security requirements. This means a code compliant security system with their sophisticated components and software must work together and be compatible with an array of existing panels, transmitters, and interface components. Maintaining a single source to provide these systems is the best way for the Public Safety Department to ensure that the EOC security components will properly communicate. The safety of our staff is always our priority. Replacing our aged, unreliable systems with a new system will certainly enhance that safety. The introduction of multiple vendors, engineers, programmers, and suppliers’ access to our security system is not recommended.

PROJECT BACKGROUND The COUNTY is currently operating under Title V Air Operation Permit No. 1110081-012-AV for the Baling and Recycling Facility issued on November 8, 2022. The Title V Air Permit is required because the landfill is subject to 40 CFR 60 Subpart Cf New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills and the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Subpart AAAA standards. The Title V Air Permit contains the landfill gas collection and control system design, performance, monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements for NSPS and NESHAP. The Title V Air Permit has a five-year term starting on November 26, 2018, and expires on November 26, 2023. The state rules require that an application to renew the Title V Permit must be submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) 225 days in advance of its expiration, or by April 15, 2023, in order to ensure continuous permission to operate (Rules 62-213.420 and 62-4.090, F.A.C.). The Title V Permit renewal application will consist of:  Updated information on the landfill gas collection and control system and any new or modified air emissions sources.  Updated information on NSPS regulatory requirements for MSW landfills under 40 CFR 60 Subpart Cf.  Updated information on air regulatory requirements, such as reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) regulations under 40 CFR 63 National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Subpart ZZZZ; 40 CFR 60 NSPS Subparts IIII and JJJJ for compression and spark ignition engines, respectively; and 40 CFR 60 Subpart CCCC for waste incineration units.  An updated list of “unregulated/insignificant sources” at the landfill that are exempt from air regulatory requirements.  Review of rule and permitting applicability requirements for the two additional shredders the COUNTY plans to purchase in the future.

No TO: Board of County Commissioners PRESENTED BY: Rebecca Olson, Assistant Director of Public Utilities SUBMITTED BY: Solid Waste & Recycling SUBJECT: Bid Waiver for Emergency Restoration Services BACKGROUND: St. Lucie County Solid Waste (SLCSW) required the emergency services of One Call Florida, Inc due to a lift station failure, which caused sewage to flow through the halls and offices in the shop building, causing flooding in over 90% of the building. This health hazard and infrastructure damage required immediate action. One Call Florida, Inc. was able to perform the restoration services immediately, from start to finish, reducing health risk and long-term damage. SLCSW obtained approval to utilize the services of One Call Florida, Inc for emergency restoration services, bypassing the purchasing policy of obtaining three quotes due to the urgency and health risk of the situation. The estimate came in at $142,342.50. The initial restoration of $46,708.98 was paid with Purchase Order P2301439. Insurance reimbursed $99,000. SLCSW is requesting approval of an Emergency contract to pay One Call Florida, Inc. the remaining portion of $109,803.00. PREVIOUS ACTION: N/A FINANCIAL IMPACT: SLCSW collaborated with Risk Management on an insurance claim and the majority of the expenses were covered by insurance, which reimbursed $99,000 and will be added by County Budget Resolution. The portion that SLCSW is responsible for is available in account 401-3410-546100-340000. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of an Emergency contract to pay One Call Florida, Inc. the remaining portion of $109,803.00.

The project is located within the LTC Ranch Industrial Park at the northeast corner of LTC Parkway and Midway Road. Per City and County planning and development requirements, the site is required to provide a pedestrian path within and along abutting roadways in accordance with the comprehensive plan and codes. Midway Road is on the County’s ‘Greenways and Trails Master Plan’. This route indicates a proposed 12’ multi-purpose path. Midway Road is a County roadway, and the developer is required to construct the pedestrian path or seek the Fee-In-Lieu-Of construction through the Board. The site lies a considerable distance from any other pedestrian high-use locations and is non-residential. County and City staff have reviewed the existing site conditions and nearby areas and concur with the developer’s request. Per Section 7.05.04.A.4.h: The Board of County Commissioners shall authorize total or partial relief from the requirements of sidewalk construction if it finds, after receiving the recommendation of the Development Review Committee and based on conditions peculiar to the proposed development, that the proposed sidewalk construction is not in the best interest of the County, the applicant shall pay a fee-in-lieu to the County for sidewalk and/or greenways and trails construction. If the fees are not used to design, acquire needed right-of-way or construct sidewalks within ten (10) years from the date of payment, the developer may request a refund. The City has agreed to consideration of this request. The applicant has provided a cost estimate for the Fee- In-Lieu-Of construction. The multi-use path would be 12 feet wide by 1,700 linear feet if constructed. The Engineer’s opinion of probable cost is $113,334.00. Please see the attached aerial map and cost estimate from the applicant’s engineer for reference. PREVIOUS ACTION: March 3, 2022 - Applicant received Site Plan approval through the City.

A Notice of Intent to Abandon was advertised on September 7 and 14, 2022 and no objections were received. On December 13, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved Permission to Advertise a Public Hearing. On January 20, 2023, County staff notified property owners within 500 feet of the abandonment area and no objections were received. On January 20, 2023, County staff advertised a Notice of Public Hearing in the St. Lucie News Tribune for a Public Hearing to be held on February 7, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the item may be heard. All relevant public utilities have consented to the proposed abandonment. County staff has reviewed the petition to abandon a portion of a 30' strip of right-of-way and have no objections.

No TO: Board of County Commissioners PRESENTED BY: George Landry, Director of Public Utilities SUBMITTED BY: Utilities SUBJECT: North Hutchinson Island Septic to Sewer Program - BACKGROUND AMENDED BACKGROUND: For many years, St. Lucie County Utilities (SLCU) has worked to bring central sewer service to the remaining subdivisions on North Hutchinson Island (NHI) and replace their existing septic tanks. These remaining subdivisions are Queens Cove, Coral Cove, Fort Pierce Shores, and Jackson Way. In the past, the main challenge was the cost to the residents for construction of the septic tank conversion infrastructure. SLCU has determined the current estimated total project cost at $18,436,950 which includes sewer collection lines and each resident’s individual sewer system capacity charge of $3,425. In 2021, SLCU applied for and received State grants totaling $7.25 million dedicated to our NHI septic to sewer program to offset some of these estimated conversion costs. Understanding the importance of this project and the financial impact to the 574 property owners, we reduced the cost to the residents after applying the grants offsets to approximately $18k to $20k per property. After obtaining direction from the BOCC, SLCU was able to secure $5.35 million in additional funding to make the total contribution of $12.6 million via grants and additional funding. This makes the project sixty-eight percent (68%) funded by grants and additional funding, leaving the remaining thirty-two percent (32%) to be borne by the residents at a reduced cost of approximately $12,500 per property. To further offset the impact of $12,500 per property, SLCU has proposed the creation of an MSBU whereby special assessments would be imposed against each affected property to finance the cost through installments collected on the annual property tax bill over a term of years instead of a single up-front payment by the property owners. Given the terms of the grants and additional funding, SLCU is under a timeline to complete this project in order to retain all the grant and additional funding needed. As a result, SLCU is requesting the BOCC schedule a public hearing as required by County ordinance to create an MSBU, and allow SLCU staff to mail out all the supporting notices and MSBU documents to the affected property owners 45 days in advance of the public hearing to allow time to schedule one or more meetings between the SLCU team and affected property owners to discuss the project and proposed financing plan, and provide them with answers to their questions Page 337 of 339 in advance of the public hearing. The Board may want to consider a special meeting date for the public hearing, being that the meeting could take a few hours. This alternative would forego the traditional pre-MSBU balloting step, but given the time constraints associated with maintaining the substantial grant funding for the NHI septic to sewer project and the opportunity for property owners to provide input to the BOCC at the public hearing, the MSBU option is this opportunity for completing the septic to sewer program. Should the BOCC approve and establish the MSBU after input from the property owners at the public hearing, SLCU would move forward with completion of this project. SLCU also intends to offer some additional funding programs that will be available to the residents to assist with the abandonment of their septic tank and installation of the line on their property to connect to the sewer system, if the BOCC so authorizes SLCU to implement it. Information sheets outlining the estimated cost as well as the proposed programs for residents to connect and abandon their septic tank will be provided once project is approved by the Board to move forward. PREVIOUS ACTION: N/A FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for this project will be a combination of grants, additional funding and the Proposed MSBU (if approved). RECOMMENDATION: Staff is seeking guidance from the Board on which direction is preferred.
