PRESENTATIONS A. COVID-19 Update The County Administrator provided an update on the County's current COVID 19 statistics and a comprehensive summary on its response to the situation. He noted that the County's workforce is adjusting schedules and work locations to increase the practice of social distancing and allow for proper cleaning and sanitization of work areas. Approximately 1/3 of the full- time staff are working either remote or combination between in -office and remote. St. Lucie County is diligently working to stay ahead of the pandemic and ensure the continued safety and wellbeing of the community and highlights of its response and protective actions include: • On March 17, 2020, the St. Lucie County Public Safety Director declared a State of Local Emergency COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. • St. Lucie County issued a "Safer -at -Home" Order effective on April 4, 2020; however, on April 1, 2020, the State of Florida Office of the Governor issued Executive Order #20-92, an amendment to the original Order #20-91, stating this Order supersedes any conflicting official action or order issued by local officials in response to COVID-19. • In an effort to help comply with the "Safer -at -Home" Order, as of April 3, 2020, all St. Lucie County offices and facilities are closed on Fridays. Several County departments have completely closed or have shifted to limited public hours and access. • St. Lucie County extended the Public Information Line - 772-460-HELP (4357) Hours of Operation to Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. • St. Lucie County is promoting online/distance learning. Several County departments are now offering more online services and video learning opportunities, including the libraries, Oxbow Eco-Center and Aquarium.

Plan reviewers or inspections will not be available on Fridays in April. If inspections are requested on Thursday, they will be scheduled for Monday. In a continuing effort to social distance our residents and employees we are now implementing an innovative practice where the inspectors are now accepting photographs and videos for several types of inspections. Contractors are encouraged to work with their inspectors to get time critical inspections completed. Planning continues to accept and process applications. Code Enforcement is extending its lien amnesty program and will toll all accruing fines during the emergency. Economic Development is working with businesses to implement social distancing. • Meals are being provided at the Boys & Girls Club, supplementary to what the St. Lucie County Public Schools is providing. The B&GC is passing out 1200 meals a day, seven day a week, at 4 locations in St. Lucie County. This is for students that would normally eat at the B&GC. County staff is on standby to fill any gaps in food preparation, delivery and/or 4 1 P a g E BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2020 6:00 PM additional resources as needed. To date, B&GC served over 30,000 meals and 1,000 plus weekend peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and snacks to the community. Some of the County's recovery activities include: • Stakeholder calls are being held maintain open lines of communication daily addressing new protective measures. Section Chiefs are working as a team with the Command Staff at the EOC to develop and communicate a common operating picture, collaborating with all associated agencies to identify and meet unmet needs and manage this unprecedented emergency situation. • County operations are still in the response phase but recovery planning has been initiated. The Recovery Plan itself is currently implemented under unified command at the EOC. Key stakeholders will meet Thursday afternoon at the Emergency Operations Center and will include staff from the Economic Development Council. • Economic Recovery is already a primary activity of the Economic Development Council (EDC) who is already spearheading numerous recovery efforts associated with the CARES Act. EDC is developing and executing a St. Lucie Business Disaster Response and Recovery Plan. • County staff will work closely with the EDC on stand-up of the Business Recovery Center. The Recovery Phase and Economic Recovery efforts will be discussed at Thursday's meeting. ➢ The EDC has already hosted a number of business video conference updates attended by hundreds of business owners. In essence, they have been undertaking a Virtual Business Recovery Center and plan to move toward a physical center when Stay At Home travel restrictions are lifted by the Governor. ➢ The EDC is requesting initial funding of up to $30,000 from their Executive Committee to hire a consultant and open the center, and assist the SBDC with the processing of 449 Florida Business Disaster Bridge Loan applicants and other business assistance services. ➢ The Virtual Business Recovery Center (VBRC) will be located at the Enterprise Hub at IRSC's Pruitt Campus. EDC in collaboration with the SBDC and partners is seeking to activate personnel and resources to jumpstart the VRBC concept. • As far as the County's Recovery Plan, each Recovery Support Function (RSF) will have an assigned Team Leader chosen based on their primary job duties and the associated RSF fit to their organizational level and current assignments. Due to a lack of any physical damage associated with the pandemic, we anticipate activating only four of the seven key recovery functions: ➢ RSF 1- Community Coordination & Capacity Building (CCCB) ➢ RSF 2 -Economic Recovery— Led by EDC with support from the County ➢ RSF 3 - Health, Social Services, and Education ➢ RSF 4 — Housing.

REGULAR AGENDA A. COUNTY ATTORNEY 1. Temporary Animal Shelter - First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement with City of Fort Pierce Assistant County Attorney Heather Young presented this item. On October 1, 2019, the County entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Port St. Lucie and the City of Fort Pierce for the operation of the Temporary Animal Shelter. The Interlocal Agreement provided for a term running through and including March 31, 2020, subject to extension upon mutual agreement of the parties. The City of Port St. Lucie has since entered into an agreement with the Humane Society of St. Lucie County which will provide the City's shelter services at its facility on Glades Cut Off Road. As a result, the City of Port St. Lucie will no longer be a party to the Temporary Shelter Interlocal Agreement. A proposed First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement would extend the term through and including July 1, 2020 while the City of Fort Pierce and the County work together to renovate the City's Savannah Road animal shelter and enter into a contract with a third party to operate the shelter. The term may be further extended upon mutual agreement of the parties. Sufficient funds are available for this expenditure in the FY 2019-20 budget, in the Animal Safety budget. Staff recommended the Board approve the proposed first amendment to the interlocal agreement for operation of the temporary animal shelter, and authorize the Chair to sign the first amendment. 11 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2020 6:00 PM 2. 3.

The Interlocal Agreement provides for the parties to work together for the renovation of the shelter facility and enter into an agreement with a third party to operate the facility once the facility once those renovations are complete. The costs of renovation will be shared equally with each party contributing up to $250,000.00 for the project, inclusive of in -kind and monetary contributions. In -kind contributions will be limited to labor and materials. Funds are available for the expenditures under this Interlocal Agreement from Public Safety and Facilities accounts. Staff recommended the Board approve the proposed interlocal agreement with the City of Fort Pierce, and authorize the Chair to sign the interlocal agreement, subject to approval of the agreement by the City of Fort Pierce City Commission. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously. RESULT: APPROVE MOVER: Commissioner District 2 Sean Mitchell SECONDER: Commissioner District 1 Chris Dzadovsky Chris Dzadovsky, Sean Mitchell, Linda Bartz, Cathy Townsend, Frannie AYES: Hutchinson NAYS: None EXCUSED: None Whiteway Dairy Road - Effect of Reverter Clause The County Attorney presented this item. In 1927, the County received a Right -of -Way Deed for thirty feet (30') of Right -of -Way adjacent to what is now known as Whiteway Dairy Road. The Deed contains an express reverter clause which provides that "should the same (Right -of -Way) ever be discontinued or abandoned as a public highway the title to the same 1IN BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2020 6:00 PM I'm shall thereupon revert to and revest in the party of the first part, its successors or assigns". The County Attorney explained that the Applicant's position relies on the reverter clause in the 1927 deed to the County. If the reverter has in fact been triggered by non-use by the County, then, arguably, there would be no need to abandon the Right -of -Way. To determine whether the County has used the area within the Right -of -Way Deed for public highway purposes, Property Acquisitions staff requested that the County Surveyor to locate the existing road (Whiteway Dairy Road) in relation to Right -of -Way Deed area. The survey reflects that, with the exception of a relatively small corner clip on the east side of the Right - of -Way Deed property, the improved area of Whiteway Dairy Road is located outside the area encompassed by the Right -of -Way Deed. Although the Applicant has not relied on it in their position statement, there is a state statute that may be relevant on the issue of whether the County is required to reconvey the property received by the County without consideration for a specific purpose or use if the County fails to use the property for a period of 60 consecutive months. In view of the discussion set out above, it appears that the Applicant would be able to use the statute to argue that the County is required to reconvey the property covered under the Right -of -Way Deed due to non-use for 93 years. The County Attorney recommended that the Board authorize the Chair to sign a Quit Claim Deed conveying the property covered in the 1927 Right -of -Way Deed to the Applicant subject to: Receipt of Easements in recordable form in favor of Fort Pierce Utilities Authority and AT&T to allow the existing facilities to stay in place; and the Applicant relocating that portion of the existing travel way that encroaches into the area covered by the Right -of -Way Deed. Several Board members asked clarifying questions and Commissioner Dzadovsky expressed concern about abandoning the road. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation to convey the property to the applicant subject to the recommended conditions. The motion was seconded and it carried by a vote of 3-1, with Commissioner Dzadovsky opposed and Commissioner Hutchinson abstaining from the vote.

Resolution No. 20-057 - Ratification of an Order of the County Administrator Regarding 5050 North Highway A1A in Fort Pierce, FL The County Attorney presented this item concerning an Order of the County Administrator related to a Notice of Appeal filed by Mr. Mark A.

Given the unknown duration of social distancing guidelines and its impact on the future ability of the Board to conduct in -person meetings, staff presented proposed methodologies for using Communication media and technology to conduct County meetings and sought the Board's direction on how it desired to conduct meetings using communication technology. A draft order was included for discussion. As drafted, the Order would provide for the Board, County staff and the public to attend County meetings remotely using communications technology and is based on the Governor's Executive Order 20-69, Section 120.54(5)(b)2, Florida Statutes and with guidance from Chapter 28-109, Florida Administrative Code. Staff's draft Order provided direction on the following issues: • Board Attendance —Members of the Board could attend a Board meeting remotely using communications technology. If members of the Board decide to attend the meeting in person, staff suggested that the Board's seating arrangement use social distancing as recommended by the Center for Disease Control ("CDC") • Staff Attendance —County staff could attend a County meeting remotely using communications technology. • Public Attendance —The public could attend a County meeting remotely using: County TV, Live Streaming and Video on Demand, or by phone to listen to an audio feed of the meeting. • Emergency Meeting Content— The agenda would be limited to urgent matters for the 17 1 P a g BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2020 6:00 PM health, safety and welfare and continued operations of the County, and noncontroversial items that are not expected to generate significant public comment. Other items and quasi-judicial hearings would be deferred to meetings where the Board and public are physically present. • Public Comment: The Public could speak under "Public Comment" and "Public Hearings" in the following manner: •In person at the meeting subject to social distancing guidelines •By email prior to the meeting •By phone prior to the meeting •By phone or email during the meeting that are received prior to the "Public Comment" portion of the meeting (for agenda items) or prior to the conclusion of the "Public Hearing" for public hearing items subject to compliance with County rules. The Board and staff discussed some of the technology options regarding remote meetings, the likely timeline of resumption of in -person meetings, and the need to not delay County business until in -person meetings could be resumed. The following concerns were noted: • The Commissioners all expressed discomfort with conducting County business in their home and using their personal technology and preferred to conduct any remote meetings from their County office. The County Administrator indicated that if meetings were to be conducted virtually, they Board would need to use County equipment for that. • Several Board members expressed concern about the reliability of online meeting platforms such as ZOOM and potential hacking concerns. • Commissioner Dzadovsky expressed concern about cancelling Code meetings and suggested implementing the County's code amnesty provision to encourage people to come into compliance voluntarily and resolve the issue without the need for a meeting. The County Attorney indicated that staff was in the process of implementing an emergency order for the County Administrator to sign that would do just that and it would come back to the Board for ratification. • The County Administrator noted that while permitting the public to comment via email and phone is desirable to maximize public input, it may be difficult to manage depending on the volume of emails and phone calls. The policy would require at least 2 staff members to monitor the phone lines and website. A significant volume of calls or emails would almost certainly delay the meeting as staff collects the comments and publishes the comments to the Board. • The County Attorney noted that Quasi-judicial hearings are particularly troublesome in the context of limited public access because of the procedural right to require that witnesses be sworn in as well as the right to cross examine witnesses. It is not practical to "swear in" or "cross examine" persons (witnesses) who are providing public comment remotely. On the other hand, since development approvals typically involve quasi- judicial hearings, deferring quasi-judicial hearings means that development approvals 181Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, April 7, 2020 6:00 PM will be continued until the state of emergency is over. This may be acceptable if the "emergency" lasts 30 to 60 days but may be problematic if the emergency lasts longer. The Chief Information Officer informed the Board that staff has already been looking into technology for remote access and was confident staff will have a solution ready by mid -May. As a result of discussions, the Board directed staff to look into finding the best technological options and appropriate protocols for remote meetings and agreed to the following short- term meeting adjustments: • All meetings in April 2020 will be cancelled, including Planning & Zoning meetings. • The May 5, 2020 and May 12, 2020 meetings will be cancelled. • The May 19, 2020 meeting will begin at 6:00 PM instead of 9:00 AM so that more of the public will be able to participate. • The May 19, 2020 meeting is anticipated to be a virtual meeting and accommodations will be made to enable the public to participate. • All quasi-judicial items will be postponed until at least the June 2, 2020 meeting. 11. Ratification of an Order of the County Administrator Regarding TIAA Requested Election for the County's Deferred Compensation Plan The County Attorney presented this item. On March 17, 2020, the St. Lucie County Public Safety Director declared a State of Local Emergency COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (St. Lucie County Declaration of Emergency). Paragraph 2 of that Declaration of Emergency provides that the County Administrator may take all actions necessary and appropriate to protect human life and prosperity, to the extent necessary to accommodate the emergency. On April 2, 2020, the St. Lucie County Administrator signed an order providing for a requested election for the County's Deferred Compensation Plan effective April 3, 2020 as identified in the Order. Staff recommended the Board ratify the April 2, 2020 order of the County Administrator regarding TIAA requested election for the County's Deferred Compensation Plan. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously.
