Waste Pro Update - Waste Pro Staff will be Providing an Update on Current Service Issues George Laundry, Public Utilities Director of St. Lucie County, and Russell Mackie, Regional Vice - President of Waste Pro, and Eddie Jesus, Local Division Manager of Waste Pro, presented an update on the current issues. In the past 18 months, extreme changes to the solid waste industry have begun with the COVID-19 pandemic and continue today. The results portray an industry that has seen significant changes in personnel, operations incoming volumes. A shortage in staffing drivers, helpers, and mechanics along with supply chain impacts. Some modifications can be made to our existing service levels and add more efficiency to address the industry's challenges, increased costs, and changes. Some new suggestions for more efficiency include: • Automation of residential routes and using 96-gallon carts and side loading automated trucks • Reduce residential garbage service to 1-time per week from 2 times per week • Recycling — St. Lucie County benefits from more recycling with more rebates • No changes in schedule or frequency! • Launch robust education plan to encourage more recycling • Require weekly yard waste to be containerized instead of unlimited. • Bulk items placed at the curb one time per month instead of two times per week Waste Pro looks forward to a continued working relationship with St. Lucie County to find more efficient, cost-effective ways to serve the residents' solid waste and recycling needs. 8.

The 2021 Point -In -Time (PIT) homelessness count indicated that 287 individuals (adults - 246 and children - 41) were identified as homeless, with 97% of individuals being considered unsheltered. In addition, twenty-one (21) veterans were identified. An additional 663 households shared housing or "couch surfing" and were not counted in these totals. Although the 2021 numbers represent a significant decrease compared to the totals in 2020, the 15 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, November 2, 2021 6:00 PM community needs to develop actionable strategies to address homelessness as we continue to grow. In order to implement a systemic response with actionable strategies to prevent, reduce and end chronic individual homelessness — specifically to develop a path forward to achieve a functional end to individual homelessness throughout St. Lucie County, there is a public need for One St. Lucie Community Homelessness Task Force to explore and evaluate the issues and needs in St. Lucie County relative to homelessness and provide recommendations on ways to address the issue of homelessness in St. Lucie County. County staff anticipates the cost for staff support for the task force will not exceed $50,000.00. Temporary staff and consulting services may be needed to manage the work of the Task Force. Funding may become available through a new grant allocation. If grant funding is not available for this initiative, reserves will need to be utilized. Staff recommended the approval of Resolution 2021-396 to establish the One St. Lucie Community Homelessness Task Force. There were discussions amongst the Board, and Commissioner Cathy Townsend was appointed to the Homelessness Task Force.

COUNTY ATTORNEY 1. Airport MRO Hangar - Request to Readvertise RFP Daniel McIntyre, County Attorney, and Stan Payne, Director of Air & Sea Port, and Robert Alfret, Attorney/Consultant, presented this item to the Board. The MRO hangar development began in 2016 with a state matching grant of $2.5 million toward constructing a 35,000 square -foot MRO hangar capable of accommodating two 737 jetliners simultaneously. The state/local match percentage was 50/50. The initial estimated cost of over $9 million was far above funding availability. As a result, the size of the hangar was reduced to 28,500 feet, large enough to accommodate a 737 and Embraer 175 simultaneously. Commercial jet MRO remained the focus. On September 11, 2018, Airport staff presented the Board with an update of the Airport's Business Plan. The main driver for creating jobs and revenue was developing and using the Airport's undeveloped property, a concept dating back to the mid-1990s. Including shovel -ready parcels adjacent to the MRO hangar site that could be combined in an MRO campus and a site to the west of the terminal to develop a corporate aviation campus. In 2018 a plan also recommended consideration of the addition of a second FBO to the Airport. On July 18, 2021, the County issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 21-070 for the lease and operation of the 28,500 square foot hangar and related facilities and consideration of proposals for expanded development opportunities. The RFP disclosed that the County was considering issuing a second RFP for Fixed Base Operators (FBO), and therefore, this procurement was not open for FBO proposals. At least one FBO attended the pre -submittal conference to express interest in an FBO procurement and expressed disappointment that this procurement was not open to FBO. Proposals were due on September 1, 2021. The County received three (3) proposals: 1. ITPS Canada 2. Jet East Aviation 3. APP Properties - Fort Pierce Jet Center The County also received a non -responsive letter from an FBO, expressing interest in an FBO procurement and opportunities. Unfortunately, the County Airport staff has determined that none of the three (3) proposals are responsive to the RFP. As a result of the procurement history, 171Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, November 2, 2021 6:00 PM the County staff consulted with Robert Alfert, Jr., Esquire, who has assisted the County with multiple procurements, including the Clover Park (Mets) Renovation Project and the Port Development Project. Mr. Alfert has also been involved in the entire history of this MRO procurement. Mr. Alfert recommends that the County consider proceeding as follows: • Reject all proposals submitted in response to RFP No. 21-070 and contemporaneously provide notice of an intent to reissue this competitive solicitation in a revised format. Direct County staff to re-evaluate assumptions in the 2015 Airport Business Plan that led to the hangar's construction, especially in light of current market conditions, competition, pandemic impacts, the availability of a skilled workforce, emerging markets and technologies, and growing traditional markets such as air cargo. While Federal Aviation Administration policy limits this hangar to aeronautical use, the potential permitted markets beyond the traditional MRO for "airline jets" specified in the 2015 Plan could include manufacturing, assembly, refit, modification, conversion, testing, and educational/instructional activities for aircraft ranging from large corporate jets to the cutting -edge eVTOL and eStol advanced air mobility market. With the benefit of an available state-of-the-art hangar with adjacent shovel -ready parcels, the best opportunity for development and meaningful long-term job creation may not lie strictly within the airliner MRO segment. Direct County staff (noting that the 2015 Airport Business Plan cited as an Airport weakness the operating structure of the Airport with a single FBO, with no revenue diversification, the FBO's control over nearly all of the developed property and fuel sales, and a low rental rate) to evaluate whether a broader procurement that allows proposals to include the development and operation of a second FBO is in the best interest of the County and its citizens, together with a re-evaluation of the County's Fixed Base Operator Minimum Standards Code Section 8-138 to determine if any revisions or updates are necessary given current aviation sector market conditions and the County's long-term needs. • Direct County staff to develop a multi -step procurement approach and package commencing with a Request for Qualifications and an evaluative process to narrow the proposing field to a shortlist of the most qualified proposers, followed by a Request for Proposals on business terms. County staff believes that a two-step process will attract more proposal interest and ultimately narrow the proposing field down to the most qualified proposals on business terms. The multi -step process may also allow for more interplay between the County and proposers during open pre -proposal conferences and closed question and answer sessions (per Florida Statutes Section 286.0113), which may permit better refinement of the final business proposals. Direct County staff to present a final plan to the Board outlining the proposed approach to the directives identified above, with a draft of the customized procurement documents to 181Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, November 2, 2021 6:00 PM maximize the recommended approach's effectiveness. Staff recommends the Board adopt the five (5) recommendations of Mr. Alfert that will result in a plan to bring back to the Board no later than December 7, 2021. A motion was made to move forward and deny the first three (3) Requests for Proposals (RFP's) presented and for staff/consultants to refine the language and represent it to the Board, and it unanimously.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 1. South Florida Logistics Center 95 - Major Site Plan Kara Wood, Planning Consultant, Calvin Giordano & Associates, Kori Benton, Planning and Development Services Assistant Planner, and Thondra Lanese, Business Navigator, presented this item to the Board. Stonemont Financial Group, represented by Bradley Currie, AICP, of Engineering Design & Construction, Inc., applied a Major Site Plan to develop a warehouse logistics center, a St. Lucie County Targeted Industry, at the southwest corner of Kings Hwy. and Orange Ave. The development, South Florida Logistics Center 95, proposes two buildings, 1,102,920 square feet and 245,300 square feet for 1,348,220 square feet. A specific user will be identified at a future date. There are four (4) State jurisdictional wetlands onsite and are proposed for impact in their entirety. The avoidance and minimization of onsite wetlands would entail specific hardships, such as realigning access driveways, which is impossible due to fixed entrances that align with existing businesses. Development of the site will require 0.30 credits of non -vegetated wetlands and 1.5 credits of freshwater marsh to be purchased from Bluefield Mitigation Bank before impacting the wetlands. The Environmental Resources Director approved a Wetland Waiver as part of the major site plan application. Staff recommended the Board approve Resolution 2021-390, authorizing the Chair to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney. Chair Dzadovsky opened the meeting for public comment at this time.
