$48,000,000. Since that time, many project changes have occurred. The proposed reconciliation
Page 17 of 256
BOCC Special Meeting Tuesday, December 8, 2020

will reduce the guaranteed maximum price to $46,275,000. In the event the new improvements
budget exceeds $55,000,000, SFS agreed to contribute up to an additional $2,000,000. This
amendment will result in no change to the financial obligation of the County beyond the

Price Reconciliation, subject to final approval of the County Attorney.

stated that he is unaware of offshore sand removal from St. Lucie County. Commissioner
Hutchinson asked Mr. Burns for an assurance that mitigation and/or consistent surveying not
be at the expense of St. Lucie County.

Ms. Fogarty to coordinate with Mr. Burns and Duane De Freese, Ph.D., Indian River Lagoon
National Estuary Program.
Regarding the Interconnect Canal, Commissioner Hutchinson commented that back pumping
is not allowed from the C23 to C24 Reservoirs; and requested Ms. Fogarty to change the
following verbiage in the background description from "reasonable" assurance to "absolute"
or "shall require" assurance. Mr. Burns commented that the word "reasonable" has been
removed and replaced with "absolute."

experienced high rates in the County's jail healthcare services, which services can be
alleviated if the policy is passed by the state legislature. Chair Dzadovsky commented
individuals who are arrested and convicted lose their healthcare coverage and the Medicaid
Inmate Exclusion Policy will allow individuals to keep their healthcare services up until the
time they are sentenced, which will alleviate the taxpayer cost. Commissioner Bartz
commented if a person is convicted and losses their benefits, their families' losses their
benefits as well, at which time the families must find other resources, which is an exuberant
cost to the taxpayer and the County.

RESOLUTION NO. 21-XXX
ARESOLUTION PROCLAIMING MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 2021 AS
"MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY" IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the
following determinations:
1. One hundred years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation
Proclamation, the great Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., took to the steps of the Lincoln
Memorial and shared his vision of an America lifted from the "quicksand's of racial injustice to
the solid rock of brotherhood." His extraordinary message that momentous day in August of
1963 stirred to action Americans of every race and creed, and it continues to reverberate in the
hearts and minds of patriotic citizens across our great land.
2. Today, as we pause to mark the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we
recommit ourselves to the advancement of equality and justice for all Americans, and to the full
realization of his worthy dream. We have made great strides, but we acknowledge that more
work must be done for, in the words of Dr. King, "justice to roll down like waters and
righteousness like a mighty stream." United as one American family, we will not rest — and we
will never be satisfied — until the promise of this great Nation is accessible to each American in
each new generation.
3. More than half a century after Dr. King's March on Washington for Jobs and
Freedom, our Nation is mindful of its past, and we look forward to the future with unwavering
optimism, inspired by the legacy of Dr. King and informed by his wisdom and vision. May the
memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the efforts we have made to fully effectuate his dream,
remind us that faith and love unite us together as one great American family.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie
County, Florida:
1. This Board does hereby proclaim Monday, January 18, 2021 as "MARTIN LUTHER
KING, JR. DAY" in St. Lucie County, Florida.
2. This Board also encourages all residents to recommit themselves to Dr. King's
dream by engaging in acts of service to others and to their community.
PASSED AND DULY ADOPTED this 12th day of January 2021.

Florida Department of Financial Services, Reference Guide for State Expenditures
Cost Reimbursement Contracts
Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of expenditures by category (salary,
travel, expenses, etc.). Supporting documentation shall be submitted for each amount for which reimbursement is being
claimed indicating that the item has been paid. Documentation for each amount for which reimbursement is being
claimed must indicate that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided in lieu of copies of actual checks.
Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in the approved
agreement budget may be reimbursed. These expenditures must be allowable (pursuant to law) and directly related to
the services being provided.
Listed below are types and examples of supporting documentation for cost reimbursement agreements:
(1) Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register should show
gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an individual for whom reimbursement is
being claimed is paid by the hour, a document reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be
acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the
employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe benefits will be based
on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of fringe benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits
amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of checks for fringe
benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes, which
includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher or electronic means.
(4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. If nonexpendable property
is purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision for the transfer of the property to the
State when services are terminated. Documentation must be provided to show compliance with Department of
Management Services Rule 60A-1.017, Florida Administrative Code, regarding the requirements for contracts
which include services and that provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in
Section 273.02, Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the State.
(5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be
reimbursed on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must be reasonable.
(6) Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then the
calculation should be shown.
Contracts between state agencies, and/or contracts between universities may submit alternative documentation
to substantiate the reimbursement request that may be in the form of FLAIR reports or other detailed reports.

single audit exemption statement to the Department at
FDOTSingleAudit .dot.state.fl.us no later than nine months after the end of the
Agency's audit period for each applicable audit year. In the event the Agency expends
less than the threshold established by 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F — Audit
Requirements, in Federal awards in a fiscal year and elects to have an audit
conducted in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F — Audit
Requirements, the cost of the audit must be paid from non -Federal resources (i.e., the

coverage described herein. The Department's approval or failure to disapprove any policy/ies,
coverage, or ACORD Certificates shall not relieve or excuse any obligation to procure and

applicable environmental regulations and for any liability arising from non-compliance with
these regulations, and will reimburse the Department for any loss incurred in connection
therewith.
b. Non -Admission of Liability. In no event shall the making by the Department of any payment
to the Agency constitute or be construed as a waiver by the Department of any breach of
covenant or any default which may then exist on the part of the Agency and the making of
such payment by the Department, while any such breach or default shall exist, shall in no way
impair or prejudice any right or remedy available to the Department with respect to such breach
or default.

Agreement shall not be affected. In such an instance, the remainder would then continue to
conform to the terms and requirements of applicable law.

Contract Payment Requirements
Florida Department of Financial Services, Reference Guide for State Expenditures
Cost Reimbursement Contracts
Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of expenditures by category (salary,
travel, expenses, etc.). Supporting documentation shall be submitted for each amount for which reimbursement is being
claimed indicating that the item has been paid. Documentation for each amount for which reimbursement is being
claimed must indicate that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided in lieu of copies of actual checks.
Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in the approved
agreement budget may be reimbursed. These expenditures must be allowable (pursuant to law) and directly related to
the services being provided.
Listed below are types and examples of supporting documentation for cost reimbursement agreements:
(1) Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register should show
gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an individual for whom reimbursement is
being claimed is paid by the hour, a document reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be
acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the
employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe benefits will be based
on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of fringe benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits
amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of checks for fringe
benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes, which
includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher or electronic means.
(4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. If nonexpendable property
is purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision for the transfer of the property to the
State when services are terminated. Documentation must be provided to show compliance with Department of
Management Services Rule 60A-1.017, Florida Administrative Code, regarding the requirements for contracts
which include services and that provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in
Section 273.02, Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the State.
(5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be
reimbursed on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must be reasonable.
(6) Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then the
calculation should be shown.
Contracts between state agencies, and/or contracts between universities may submit alternative documentation
to substantiate the reimbursement request that may be in the form of FLAIR reports or other detailed reports.

FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation)
BACKGROUND:
In July of 2019, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners approved the St. Lucie County Transit
Development Plan (TDP) Major Update. The TDP serves as a guiding document and contains a list of
prioritized projects for the transit program. The project list includes capital and operating investments such
as new service routes, expansion of service and enhanced infrastructure. The County's existing Route 7 was
identified as early as 2009 in the TDP for regional economic integration by providing a cross -county
connectivity. Route 7 was implemented in 2015 and is currently on the fourth iteration of route
modifications, which has resulted in a slight ridership growth and enhanced regional connectivity.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Corridor Development Program (CDP) is designed to relieve
congestion and improve capacity within an identified transportation corridor by increasing the people
carrying capacity of the transportation systems through the use of high occupancy conveyances. In St. Lucie
County, the CDP is intended to strengthen the initial project with improved efficiencies and increased
ridership. The CDP covers up to 100% of the total eligible cost of the project.
The FDOT has originally allocated funds in the total project cost amount of $180,000, which does not require
a local match. The FDOT has increased the total project cost to $360,000 and the new expiration date is
12/31/2022 (previously 12/31/2021).

Thursday, September 3, 2020
The Private George W. Thomas, Camp 1595, of Fort Pierce, is a camp of decedents of Confederate Soldiers. The
Sons of Confederate Veterans were charged by Gen. Stephen Dill Lee in 1906, "To you, Sons of Confederate
Veterans, we submit the vindication of the Cause for which we fought; to your strength will be given the defense
of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the
perpetuation of those principles he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish. Remember, it
is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations!"
Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commanding General, United Confederate Veterans
Therefore the SCV Private G. W. Thomas Camp in keeping with preserving our history and perpetuating the good
name and Honour of our Confederate Ancestors we will proudly host the Raid On Fort Pierce, the only battle this
far south on the east coast of Florida. As the sponsor we will provide for the education of the Counties Home and
Public School Students during the annual School Days prior to the event. The Private Geo. W. Thomas Camp
1595, is a not for profit organization under IRS EIN Number 59-375-2189, and Florida State Tax Certificate # 85-
8013710088C-3. We proudly honour the War Between the States 1501h year, Sesquicentennial with this event, and
the men who fought on both sides, to make Fort Pierce and Florida the place we know today.
The camp is composed of only 20 men and 19 ladies the Order of the confederate Rose. We hold our meetings over
Dinner at the American Legion Post 40 Fort Pierce, Fl. The Fort Pierce Raid has ongoing for 19 years with great
results for education of young and old alike. The raid committee in conjunction with the SCV will try to maintain
this, the only battle on the southeast coast, and I restate this as it is a very important point. The students of St Lucie
County, Indian River, Martin, Palm Beach and as far away as the city of Vierra, have a very unique opportunity to
view life in St. Lucie in 1860..Fort Pierce did not play a major role in this war but men such as John Enos Fultz
came back to St. Lucie County to become officers of the county, Mr. Fultz served as the first count Court Clerk in
1905. George W. Thomas the Camps' name sake was the oldest Living Confederate Veterans in Saint Lucie County
when he died in 1934, age 97.
We host school days on Friday, with some 1200 students from local and private schools attending. The school day
program consists of 12 stations both Confederate and Federal Infantry impressions, Medical, Recruiting Service,
Artillery, Cavalry, and female civilian life. The re -enactors which volunteer their time and equipment for these
schools, do it to benefit the educational process of the school system, to educate the students as to the costliest war
with over 600,000 killed on both sides. The students are given a ticket to return Saturday or Sunday with an adult.
The activity allows both students and spectators to observe life in the years 1861-1865, closely observing both
soldiers, civilian's life and hardships during this time.
Therefore we are requesting the fees be waived for the weekend of the 12tt' 13tt' 14th of March 2021 and any
additional consideration be given to this under taking as we are a Fort Pierce, St Lucie County, not for profit
organization.

Greetings,
We are writing this letter in hopes that you waive the facility fees for our Southern Things for Little
Wings Inc Car Show.
Southern Things for Little Wings Inc, established December 2019, is a local 501c3 organization. This
organization was created in honor of our late son Hawk. We raise funds and awareness to support
The Hawk Buchmeyer Scholarship. We also assist families of minors with medical bills all while
raising awareness for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias. A portion of all funds raised is sent to CDH
International so they can continue funding their medical research program. Currently, they are the
only organization who funds the research for CDH.
In the last year, we have started The Hawk Buchmeyer Scholarship which has requirements which
are as follows:
1) Must be a St. Lucie County resident
2) Must have a 3.0 GPA or higher
3) Must be going into the medical field
4) Must have been in 4H more than just 1 year
We have also raised $2,000.00 to help when a family is need of financial assistance for paying for
their little loved one's final expenses. We have spoken with Haisley Funeral & Yates Funeral home
that we have the funds whenever a family comes in.
Our long term goal is hopefully work with Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute for
when a family comes in and their little loved one has to stay long term, they miss work, need a good
evening out to a nice dinner we will be able to assistant in helping them with that. We saw many
family's when we were in Gainesville who could not afford to go get a nice dinner or take their other
children out to do something to keep their minds off things. We really hope we can achieve these
goals in the next couple of years.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon! For more information please go to

AMENDMENT
SUBJECT: Affordable Housing Advisory Committee - Ordinance Amending Membership to
Add a County Commissioner
BACKGROUND:
Section 420.9067, Florida Statutes, requires each county which receives funding under the State Housing
Initiatives Housing Partnership ("SHIP") Program to establish an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
("AHAC"). The St. Lucie County AHAC was created in 1993 to advise the Board on matters related to
ordinances and regulations which may preclude affordable housing policies. Pursuant to Section 22-95 of
the Code of Ordinances, the current membership of the AHAC is composed of nine (9) members representing
the community. The 2020 Florida Legislature amended Section 420.9067 to require the addition of a county
commissioner to the AHAC effective October 1, 2020. The attached ordinance provides for this amendment
to the AHAC membership. The Florida Housing Coalition has requested that a commissioner be appointed
before February 1, 2021 to comply with the statutory requirement and permit the commissioner participate
in training scheduled for AHAC members in February.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
On June 25, 1993, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 93-17 which established the AHAC. On July 29, 2017, the
Board adopted Ordinance No. 17-016 which reduced the membership of the AHAC from ten (10) to nine (9)
members.

STANDARDS OF REVIEW
AS SET FORTH IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 11.06.03
In reviewing this application for an amendment to the Official Zoning Atlas, the Board of County
Commissioners shall consider and make the following determinations:
A. Whether the proposed rezoning is in conflict with any applicable portions of the St. Lucie County Land
Development Code;
The proposed rezoning to the CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) Zoning District is consistent with the St. Lucie
County Land Development Code (LDC), and meets the Standards of Review set forth in LDC Section 11.06.03,
as displayed in Sections A thru H of this report.
Currently, the southern property (Parcel I.D. 3419-545-0003-000-0) has a land area of 9,000 ft2, and does not
meet the minimum required 10,000 ft2 lot size for the CN Zoning District. The applicant has submitted an
application with the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser to combine the two (2) subject parcels, thus providing
a lot conforming to the minimum lot size and dimensional requirements as set forth in LDC Section 7.04.00
ST. LUCIE
Page 190 of 256
Project Name: Prima Vista Rezoning
File No.: RZ-8202025811
Page 4
and Table 7-10 — Lot Size and Dimensional Requirements for the CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) Zoning
District. The rezoning is consistent with LDC Section 11.09.02(A), Table 11-1 - Zoning District/Land Use
Category Compatibility Chart
Pursuant to LDC section 10.00.03, the existing single-family dwelling is a non -conforming structure within
the CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning District, and the proposed CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) Zoning
District, which permits normal maintenance and repair of the structure. Any further expansion of the non-
conforming structure shall be in compliance with the provisions of the Code. The applicant intends to retain
the single-family dwelling until a future development proposal.
The proposed CN Zoning District is consistent with surrounding parcels, providing the use scope in LDC
Section 3.01.03(Q) and District purpose. Certain Conditional Uses outlined under the Commercial
Neighborhood Zoning District may not be appropriate at this particular property, due to the land size, site
access, and proximity to the surrounding single-family dwellings. All future uses will be required to be
reviewed by the St. Lucie County Development Review Committee for compatibility with the subject site and
surrounding uses.
Future Land Use:
The Future Land Use designation of the subject property is COM (Commercial). The COM land use category
"is intended to accommodate all commercial zoning districts as identified under St. Lucie County's Land
Development Code. Office and general retail uses are considered the principal uses within the COM
designated areas. "
"Although this plan supports the location of higher intensity commercial uses at the intersection of arterial
roadways, it should not be interpreted to mean that every intersection should be designated for commercial
activities. Unless otherwise designated on the future land use maps, applications for commercial use should
be done in conjunction with a detailed review of the impacts of such development on adjacent property,
specifically noting what, if any, negative neighborhood impacts could result from a map amendment. "
Current Zoning.
The property is zoned CO (Commercial, Office). This district is "to provide and protect an environment
suitable for selected office and commercial uses, together with such other uses as may be necessary to and
compatible with commercial office surroundings. "
Proposed Zoning:
The proposed zoning of the subject property is CN (Commercial, Neighborhood). The purpose of this district
is "to provide and protect an environment suitable for limited retail trade and service activities covering a
relatively small area and that is intended to serve the population living in surrounding neighborhoods. "

B. Whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all elements of the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan;
The proposed rezoning to the CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) Zoning District is consistent with the COM
(Commercial) Future Land Use designation as per Comprehensive Plan Table 1-3 - Land Use Designation /

The proposed Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element Goals,
Objectives, and Policies:
Objective 1. L I0: Commercial Areas. St. Lucie County shall provide for the establishment of commercial
zoning districts where various types of commercial retail, including commercial uses for retail trade, office
and service activities and general commercial uses for highway oriented sales and services; light industrial
service uses; and hotel uses may be permitted at intensities which are consistent and compatible with the
surrounding community and the natural environment.
Policy 1.1.10.2 - Require effective visual and light diffusion barriers between residential and non-
residential uses. Standards and requirements for such barriers are to be included in the landscaping
and screening regulations of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code.
Policy 1.1.10.6 - Encourage the use of existing commercial and industrial designated lands within the
urban service area, through requiring a strict demonstration ofservice availability, before authorizing
Land Use and Zoning amendments in areas not presently indicated as having such a designation.
C. Whether and the extent to which the proposed zoning is inconsistent with the existing and proposed
land uses;
The proposed rezoning is consistent with the existing and proposed land uses. As stated above, the CN
(Commercial, Neighborhood) Zoning District is compatible with the COM (Commercial) Future Land Use
designation as per the Land Development Code (LDC) and Comprehensive Plan. This amendment will not
create a conflict with the surrounding zoning districts.

D. Whether there have been changed conditions that require an amendment,
The applicant has purchased the properties with the intent for future commercial use(s) consistent with the
LDC Section 3.01.03(Q). There have been no changes in the existing conditions to require the proposed
amendment. The applicant is pursuing a rezone from the current CO (Commercial, Office) Zoning District to
the CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) Zoning District in order to provide more compatibility with the
surrounding area.
E. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in demands on public facilities,
and whether or to the extent to which the proposed amendment would exceed the capacity of such public
facilities, including but not limited to transportation facilities, sewage facilities, water supply, parks,
drainage, schools, solid waste, mass transit, and emergency medical facilities;
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.
Prior to the issuance of any final Development Order, the developer must demonstrate that all public facilities
are available to serve the parcel and obtain a Certificate of Capacity. The applicant has signed the required
Concurrency Deferral Affidavit recognizing this provision.
Water/Wastewater
Water and wastewater services are currently available to the subject site through the City of Port St. Lucie
Utility Systems Department. According to the City of Port St. Lucie Utility Systems Department, an existing
water meter located on -site may need to be upgraded to accommodate water flows. Additionally, existing
wastewater facilities may need to be upgraded to accommodate future uses. Site -specific impacts will be
addressed through a development application.
Transportation Impacts
The subject site fronts on Prima Vista Boulevard and Airoso Boulevard. Both roadways are owned and
maintained by the City of Port St. Lucie. No additional transportation impacts are anticipated at this time, with
a Concurrency Deferral Affidavit secured. Although the subject sites are located within the jurisdiction of St.
Lucie County, a City of Port St. Lucie driveway permit will be required for the proposed connection to Airoso
Boulevard, as well as further review of traffic generation, vehicle stacking, and circulation.
Due to the sites proximity with the intersection of Prima Vista Boulevard and Airoso Boulevard, the City of
Port St. Lucie has requested the site access be limited to Airoso Boulevard, as a right-in/right-out configuration
and shall be positioned as far south as possible.
F. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in significant adverse impacts
on the natural environment;
Background
The Environmental Resources Department (ERD) is in receipt of the August 07, 2020 date -stamped submittal
from Planning and Development Services. The applicant is requesting approval to change the zoning of the
subject parcels (Parcel ID 3419-545-0002-000-3 and Parcel ID 3419-545-0003-000-0) from CO to CN. The
0.54-acre site is located at 190 SW Airoso Boulevard in Fort Pierce.

The proposed rezoning is not anticipated to result in any adverse environmental impacts, as no development
activities are proposed at this time and no increase in density is proposed. If site development activities are
proposed in the future, ERD will conduct further review through the site plan or building permit review process.
Recommendation
ERD has no objection to the approval of the referenced rezone application.
G. Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment would result in an orderly and logical
development pattern specifically identifying any negative affects of such patterns;
The proposed change in zoning will result in an orderly and logical development pattern. The proposed parcel
is located within the Urban Service Boundary, with existing commercial uses situated to the north and east,
and residential uses to the west, south, and east of the subject properties.
The requested rezone is not expected to harm other property or improvements in the neighborhood. All future
commercial uses shall be required to provide adequate landscape buffering and screening from the adjacent
residential uses, as per Land Development Code Section 7.09.04(E). This petition will not negatively affect
the development patterns in the surrounding area.
H. Whether the proposed amendment would be in conflict with the public interest, and is in harmony with
the purpose and intent of this Code,
The proposed CN (Commercial, Neighborhood) Zoning District is not in conflict with the public interest and
is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Land Development Code.
CONCLUSION:
Staff has reviewed this petition and determined that it conforms to the Standards of Review as set forth in
Section 11.06.03 of the St. Lucie County Land Development Code and is consistent with the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives, and Policies.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION:
The Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing on November 19, 2020, unanimously passing a

land description created by owner's request, the legality for such parcel to be conveyed via land title, nor the suitability for
such parcel to be developed. Contact the appropriate land development, zoning, and/or planning department of your
jurisdiction for questions concerning property development. Pursuant to Florida Statute 197,192 the Property
Appraiser's office shall not split or combine parcels until all taxes due or delinquent have been paid to the
Tax Collector.
F
HOMESTEAD PROPERTY: The land split of a homestead property will result in the removal of the Save Our
Homes 3% assessment cap limitation from the newly created (split -out) parcel. The new (split -out) parcel will be
assessed at market value, generally resulting in an increase in taxable value. If at a future date the property owner
desires to re -combine the property, the new (split -out) parcel will be combined back with the homestead parcel at
its current market value. The Save Our Homes cap will not be restored to its former level. When combining
any parcel with a homestead parcel, the full market value of the non -homestead parcel will be added to the assessed
value of the homestead parcel for the current tax roll. In subsequent tax years, the Save Our Homes assessment
cap shall protect that value.
NON -HOMESTEAD PROPERTY: The land split or combination of non -homestead property will result in the
F
removal of the 10% assessment cap limitation and the assessment of the parcel(s) at full market value. Per Florida
Statute 193.1554(7) and 193.1555(7)
❑Parcel Contiguous to Homestead Property. Vacant property contiguous/adjacent to homestead property is
eligible to receive the Save Our Homes assessment cap limitation, provided that the contiguous parcel is used in
conjunction with homestead property. The contiguous parcel will retain its unique parcel identification number and
legal description. Per Florida Statute 196.031(1)(a)

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I split my property if encumbered by a Unity of Title or Restrictive Covenant?
You must contact the appropriate taxing jurisdiction to obtain, in writing, a "Release of Unity of Title" or "Termination of
Restrictive Covenant' before a split is processed.
What if one of the parcels to be combined includes a Save Our Homes cap?
The portion previously under a 10% non -homestead cap will be reassessed at full market value then added to the market
and assessed values of the homestead parcel for the current tax roll. In future years, the Save Our Homes cap will apply
to the assessed value limiting its annual increase to 3% or less. Combining property may increase taxes by affecting
existing capped values. The cap cannot be restored to its former level.
What happens to the 10% assessment cap for parcels that participate in a split or combination?
Per Florida Statute 193.1554(7) and 193.1555(7) the land split or combination of non -homestead property could result in
an increase greater than the 10% assessment cap limitation.
What if I have a mortgage on one of the parcels involved in the reconfiguration?
Combining mortgaged property with un-mortgaged property may create an escrow shortage resulting in a higher mortgage
payment and could create significant issues in the event of a foreclosure. In addition; splitting mortgaged property may
violate your mortgage agreement and could cause an issue with the payment of taxes.
What if I have title insurance on one of the parcels involved in the reconfiguration?
A parcel split or combination may violate restrictive covenants, including boundary line setbacks or other provisions. This
action may also impede the ability to provide a lender with the endorsements they require in Loan Policy Schedule A insuring
the mortgage. If you are combining parcels and the title of one property has to be changed to match the title of the other
property (single owner vs joint tenants), the change in ownership may invalidate the insurance policy unless title insurance
is purchased to cover all owners. Contact your title insurance company for clarification or additional information.
Is there a deadline for submitting an application request for parcel splits or combinations?
Throughout the year, we will suspend parcel splits and combinations in order to submit Tax Rolls to the State. The
suspension dates may include up to two (2) weeks in advance of the following periods: June 1, July 1, August 1, and mid -
September. The last day to have a split/combo applied to the current Tax Roll is August 15.
Will the application I complete be available to the public?
Yes, any information provided on the application is available upon request unless otherwise protected by state statute.
How are new addresses assigned?
Local jurisdictions determine the proper address assignments for all properties.
How long does it take to process my application?
Upon acceptance by SLCPA applications meeting all requirements are generally processed within 30 days.
How is the legal description determined?
The property owner MUST provide a survey, sketch, or legal description clearly defining all property boundaries to SLCPA.
SLCPA will not create or draft property descriptions.
What is the cost of splitting/combining my parcel?
There is no cost from the Property Appraiser's office to split or combine property. However, there may be a fee required
by the local jurisdiction when obtaining the necessary approval. Requesting prior approval for parcel splits and combinations
from the appropriate zoning, planning, or community development agency of your jurisdiction is strongly encouraged.

AUTHORIZE PAYMENT
St. Lucie County was allocated $55,543,688 from the State of Florida, Division of Emergency Management
(FDEM), as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, through the U.S.
Department of Treasury. As part of the County's plan, funding was allocated to Social Services, Economic
Recovery, Public Safety and Health, Municipalities and Reserves for Future COVID 10 expenditures. Based on
guidelines from FDEM all funds must be expended by December 30, 2020, and reimbursement
documentation provided to FDEM by December 3, 2020. St. Lucie County has met all these requirements.
Over the duration of the funding allocation, St. Lucie County directly received $24,994,659 over two
allotments from FDEM, which has been expended in accordance with the County's CARES Act Plan by
December 30, 2020. Reimbursement documentation for the remaining portion ($30,549,029) has been
submitted and approved by the Florida Department of Emergency Management. The documentation
provided met the administrative accommodation from the Treasury that allowed for work being performed
that was substantially different than accounted for in the most recent budget as of March 27, 2020.
Based on FDEM's guidelines, the reimbursement that was received by the County for the remaining portion
that is allotted to St. Lucie County can be utilized for other initiatives as determined by the Board of County
Commissioners. County staff is providing a recommended allocation for consideration in Exhibit 1.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
On July 7, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved agenda item 10.A.2 for the allocation of CARES
Act funds that were received from the Florida Department of Emergency Management.

Page 230 of 256
St. Lucie County's reimbursement allocation is $30,549,029.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the approval of the allocation of reimbursement dollars (attached Exhibit 1) in the amount
of $30,549,029 for the continuation of some existing programs and services, funding of initiatives that have
been discussed with the Board and the allocation of some funds to reserves for future related. In addition,
Staff recommends the Board authorizes the County Administrator to enter into agreements with stakeholders
to effectuate the expenditure of dollars and adjust numbers based on the actual receipt of expenditures.
Staff recommends approval to move funding from General Fund/Fine & Forfeiture Fund reserves to establish
these budgets. Once the annual financial audit is complete, a public hearing will be held to finalize the true -up
of excess fund balance, which will replenish the General Fund/Fine & Forfeiture Fund reserves.

*RESOLUTION ITEM - NON

ASSESSMENT
QUASI-JUDICIAL ITEM? NO
Over the past few years, the County received petitions from property owners within the Mura Municipal
Service Benefit Unit "MSBU" in support of creating an MSBU to fund the cost of constructing potable water
and fire protection improvements in their neighborhood. Approximately 60 percent of the property owners
support the imposition of assessments to fund the project.
In January 2020, affected property owners were notified by mail of their maximum estimated assessment
amount. On January 16, 2020, an informal meeting was held with County staff, FPUA staff, and property
owners to discuss the MSBU process, project design, project cost, and annexation issues.
The MSBU is located within the utility service area of Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA). FPUA has agreed to
design, permit, and bid the project and to provide construction management and inspection services at no
cost to the owners of assessed property. FPUA has also agreed to contribute up to $160,000 towards the
Project to offset the Capital Improvement Charges imposed by FPUA.
On July 7, 2020, the Board approved Resolution No. 2020-103, the Mura MSBU Initial Assessment Resolution,
as required by the County's Assessment Ordinance. The Initial Assessment Resolution described the property
located within the Mura MSBU, provided for the imposition of assessments therein, estimated the cost to be
funded through special assessments, established the method of apportioning the special assessment among
affected real property, directed the assessment coordinator to prepare a preliminary assessment roll,
approved the interlocal agreement with FPUA and the City of Ft. Pierce, authorized and directed staff to take
such actions as may be necessary in furtherance of the project and the financing of the cost thereof through
special assessments and established a public hearing on September 1, 2020 to consider the imposition of the
proposed assessments.
Page 234 of 256
As established in the Initial Assessment Resolution, the maximum assessed cost of the project is $678,045.
The maximum assessment amount to be levied per Equivalent Residential Connection ("ERC") is 7,099.95,
with an annual payment of $684.03. Annual assessments are scheduled to be collected for fifteen (15) years
beginning in November 2020. Annual assessments are currently being calculated using a conservative interest
rate of five percent (5%) per annum.
The assessment imposed against each parcel may be further reduced upon completion of the project
depending on whether contingencies arise during construction. If the project comes in under budget,
property owners who prepaid the assessment will receive a refund of the difference. Assessments being
collected annually along with property taxes will be reduced to reflect the lower cost.
On August 11, 2020, affected property owners were notified by mail of the September 1, 2020 public hearing
and again of their proposed assessment amount, annual payment amount and discounted prepay amount.
On September 1, 2020, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2020-200, the Final Assessment Resolution as
required by the County's Assessment Ordinance. The Final Assessment Resolution determined that real
property within the Mura MSBU would be specially benefitted by the improvements, ratified and confirmed
the Initial Assessment Resolution, approved the assessment roll, imposed assessments upon all parcels
described in the assessment roll, provided the method for collection, directed recorded notice of the
assessment, and provided an affective date.
Attached is a copy of a bond resolution prepared by the County's bond counsel. The Resolution, if adopted,
would authorize the issuance of a special assessment revenue bond in a principal amount not to exceed
$545,000.00 to CenterState Bank as recommended by the County's Financial Advisor. The principal amount
reflects the estimated total project cost less assessment prepayments received to date. The final interest rate
is 1.82%. The Bond will be secured by a pledge of assessment revenue collected from the benefited property
owners. The Bond is not a general obligation of the County.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
October 22, 2019 — Board approved Resolution No. 2019-233, the Notice of Intent Resolution.
July 7, 2020 — Board approved Resolution No. 2020-103, the Initial Assessment Resolution.
September 1, 2020 - Board approved Resolution No. 2020-200, the Final Assessment Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The revenue generated by the collection of assessments for the Mura MSBU will be utilized to repay the loan
obtained to fund construction of the project. Funds will be distributed into the Mura MSBU fund (39XXX-
4115-384200 & 366910-38XXX).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Board approval of the Mura MSBU Bond Resolution and authorization for the Chair to sign
documents as approved by the County Attorney.

and additions to tax (including all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the interest on the
Bond due and through the Taxable Date) that are imposed on the interest on the Bond or the
Holder as a result of the loss of the exclusion, will restore the Holder the same after-tax yield on

"Determination of Taxability" shall mean either of the following (solely due to any action or
omission of the Issuer and not due to a subsequent change in law): (1) the receipt by the Issuer or
Holder of an original or a copy of an Internal Revenue Service Technical Advice Memorandum or

behalf of the Issuer with the manual signature of the Chair and the official seal of the Issuer, and
be attested and countersigned with the manual signature of the Clerk, to be approved as to form
by the County Attorney. In case any one or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed
the Bond shall cease to be such officer of the Issuer before the Bond so signed and sealed has been
actually sold and delivered, such Bond may nevertheless be sold and delivered as herein
provided and may be issued as if the person who signed or sealed such Bond had not ceased to
hold such office. The Bond may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Issuer by such person who
at the actual time of the execution of such Bond shall hold the proper office of the Issuer, although,

option for early redemption.

FORM OF PURCHASER'S CERTIFICATE
This is to certify that CenterState Bank, N.A. (the "Purchaser") has not required St. Lucie

affairs or conditions (either financial or otherwise) of the Issuer in connection with the issuance
of the $ St. Lucie County, Florida Special Assessment Revenue Bond, Series 2021
(Mura MSBU Project) dated January ___, 2021 (the "Bond") and no inference should be drawn
that the Purchaser, in the acceptance of said Bond, is relying on Bryant Miller Olive P.A., Bond
Counsel or Daniel S. McIntyre, County Attorney, as to any such matters other than the legal
opinions rendered by Bond Counsel and by the County Attorney. Any capitalized undefined
terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in Resolution No. 2021-
adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of the Issuer on January 12, 2021 as amended

We are aware that investment in the Bond involves various risks, that the Bond is not a
general obligation of the Issuer or payable from ad valorem tax revenues, and that the payment
of the Bond is secured solely from the sources described in the Resolution (the "Pledged

We have made such independent investigation of the Pledged Revenues as we, in the
exercise of sound business judgment, consider to be appropriate under the circumstances. In
making our lending decision, we have relied upon the accuracy of information which has been
provided to us by the Issuer.

evaluating the merits and risks of our making the loan evidenced by the purchase of the Bond
and can bear the economic risk of our purchase of the Bond.
We acknowledge and understand that the Resolution is not being qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "1939 Act"), and is not being registered in reliance
upon the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section

Bond Counsel nor the County Attorney shall have any obligation to effect any such registration
or qualification.
We are not acting as a broker or other intermediary, and are purchasing the Bond as an
investment for our own account and not with a present view to a resale or other distribution to
the public. We understand that the Bond may be transferred in whole but not in part, and no
CUSIP number will be assigned to the Bond.
