COMMUNITY SERVICES 1. Transit Development Plan (TDP) Major Update The Community Services Director, Diana Wesloski and Murriah Dekle, Transit Manager, both introduced this item before turning it over to Richard Dryer, consultant from Tindale Oliver. A Transit Development Plan (TDP) is a strategic planning document required by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the receipt of funding through the Public Transit Block Grant Program. The FDOT requires that transit operators have an adopted TDP to ensure proper planning, development, and operational goals. The TDP is based on a 10-year planning horizon and 01 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 2, 2019 6:00 PM a Major Update is required every five years. Annual updates in the form of progress reports on the 10-Year Implementation Program of the TDP also are required. The annual updates are prepared and submitted by the County's Transit staff every August. The St. Lucie County TDP Major Update is endorsed by the Transportation Planning Board (TPO) and adopted by the BOCC in order to maintain the BOCC's eligibility for the continued receipt of Federal and State transit funds. The TDP Major Update was developed collaboratively by County Transit staff, the St. Lucie TPO and the County's contracted service provided, Community Transit. Technical assistance was retained by Tindale Oliver consultants. To prepared a TDP reflective of the community and to ensure the active participation of both transit users and non -users, outreach efforts included grassroots event, online and in -person surveys, focus group meetings, public input displays, transit alternatives workshops, and committee meetings. Public involvement Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) goals set early on in the planning process were met or exceeded. Two TDP implementation options were developed based on different revenue scenarios. The first option presents a phased implementation plan based on existing revenue streams. The second option presents a phased implementation plan based on a proposed increase to the Mass Transit Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) beginning in FY 2020. Option One (Status Quo) would maintain existing service but limit the number of funded improvements. The frequencies on Routes 2 and 3 would be increased and the following new routes would be added: • Fort Pierce/Port St. Lucie Express (25th Street) • Tradition Area Micro -Transit Option Two (Opportunity Plus) would maintain existing service, increase frequencies on Routes 2 and 3, expand hours on all existing routes, and add the following new routes: • Fort Pierce/Port St. Lucie Express (25th Street) • Midway Road • Virginia Avenue • Torino Parkway Micro -Transit • Tradition Area Micro -Transit At the May 15, 2019 meeting, the St. Lucie Local Coordinating Board for the Transportation Disadvantaged (LCB) reviewed and endorsed the TDP Major Update. At their meetings during the week of May 20th, the TPO advisory committees reviewed the TDP Major Update and recommended endorsement. The Citizens Advisory Committee and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee specifically recommended endorsement of Option Two (Opportunity Plus). Subsequently, the TPO Policy Board unanimously voted to endorse the plan at the June 5th board meeting. Chair Bartz opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following individuals addressed the Board: 101Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 2, 2019 6:00 PM • Marjorie Harrell had a question pertaining to a prior meeting item on the RFP for transportation services.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 1. Road Impact Fees Update: Continued from February 5, 2019 Public Hearing Leslie Olson, the Planning & Development Services Director introduced Dennis Murphy from Culpepper & Terpening, Inc., who gave the presentation on this item. It was stated this item has been previously presented to the Board and was continued to allow time for changes and updates. Mr. Murphy said he will explain the changes made as the original draft was based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers' 9th edition and recently the 10th edition was published requiring the original drafted impact fees to be updated. Mr. Murphy stated that the impact fee proposal breaks the County into four basic zones: the Mainland, North Island, Fort Pierce Island, and South Island. He briefly went through the lines in the draft ordinance that are underlined or struck through. He also touched on the breakout of typical house sizes in St. Lucie County that was discussed at the last public hearing. Commissioner Mitchell asked what the spots with an "X" mean and Mr. Murphy replied that it means the cell is empty. Mr. Murphy went over the adjustments made for businesses and industrial properties. He went into further detail on single family residential and stated it is his opinion that there will not be a major impact on residential permitting fees. Lastly, Mr. Murphy said there are text changes based on statutes changes over the past year and an effective date of the ordinance to delay CPI changes until next year. 111 Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 2, 2019 6:00 PM The County Attorney further elaborated on a provision in the state law and suggested the effective date be no earlier than November 1, 2019. Commissioner Dzadovsky referenced previous direction on a breakout of residential properties to provide workforce housing and commended Mr. Murphy for accomplishing that. He further mentioned that the changes for small businesses, gas station convenience stores, and industrial properties were in line with the direction the Board previously gave to staff. Commissioner Townsend expressed her appreciation for the majority of the changes made, however she had concerns over the increase to single family residential properties. Commissioner Hutchinson commented on discussing the definition of square footage that is contained in the administrative manual. The Planning & Development Services Director stated that can be discussed and brought back to the Board at a later date. The Board was in agreement to have that discussion. The County Attorney and staff answered Commissioners' questions on the effective date in regards to possible changes made after the Board's decision tonight. There was a discussion on the changes within the residential properties section. Chair Bartz opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being no one wishing to address the Board, Chair Bartz closed the public hearing. An amended motion was made to adopt the ordinance providing it will go into effect no earlier than November 1, 2019 and with strong direction to staff to agenda an informal meeting to discuss the administrative manual on road impact fees (specifically, square footage allocations in residential homes) with the understanding that the Board may rescind or modify the ordinance. The motion was seconded and it passed unanimously.

REGULAR AGENDA 12 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 2, 2019 6:00 PM A. COUNTY ATTORNEY 1. 2. Port of Fort Pierce Conceptual Site Plan - Derecktor Fort Pierce, LLC Properties Acquisition Manager JoAnn Riley presented this item. On April 16, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners and Derecktor Fort Pierce, LLC entered into a Lease and Franchise Agreement for the development and operation of the former Indian River Terminal at the Port of Fort Pierce. On June 14, 2019, County staff received a conceptual site plan pursuant to Section 4.1(f) of the Agreement. The County has twenty (20) days after receipt to review and provide any objections in writing. The review period will expire on July 4, 2019. Staff recommended the Board review and approve the conceptual site plan submitted by Derecktor. The Properties Acquisition Manager turned the presentation over to Stan Payne, the Director of Port & Airport. He gave background on the initial plan for construction of the Port for the first year and explained this change allows a dry dock to be brought in as early as this fall. He further said after the ship lift is brought in upon its completion, Derecktor may add an additional dry dock based on needs and the market. The Director of Port & Airport stated this plan for a dry dock would jumpstart job creation while the ship lift is being constructed. Commissioner Mitchell asked for the status of applying for grants and the Director of Port & Airport provided an update. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously.

Last year, Sunbreak Farms filed an application with the 131Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 2, 2019 6:00 PM South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for approval of Sunbreak's plan to construct and operate a stormwater management system that would serve Sunbreak's proposed composting operation. On May 24, 2019, the SFWMD issued a letter notifying Sunbreak that the SFWMD intends to deny the application. The SFWMD's letter included a report explaining that Sunbreak did not provide reasonable assurances its proposed project would not result in adverse impacts to water resources and that Sunbreak refused to provide a water quality monitoring plan that could be used to determine whether Sunbreak's proposed stormwater management system is functioning properly. Sunbreak has filed a petition for a formal administrative hearing challenging the SFWMD's decision. The County Attorney stated that as the County has an interest in these matters, they had a couple options for consideration. He also said there was a time constraint on making a decision of whether or not to proceed with one of the options. As there was not an opportunity to present options to the Board, the County Attorney decided to have their special counsel file a petition to intervene in the administrative case. If the petition is granted, the County would have the right to participate in the administrative proceeding as a party and to present witnesses, evidence and argument in support of the SFWMD's decision. The County Attorney further stated that Indian River County and the St. John's Water Management District have filed petitions to intervene. Due to deadlines, the petition was filed and if the Board so wishes, they may choose to not participate in the administrative hearing but they also have the option to participate if the petition is granted. Given the concern about the potential for the Sunbreak project to negatively impact the water quality in the Indian River Lagoon, staff recommended that the Board grant after -the -fact permission for the County to file a Petition to Intervene in the DOAH proceeding. The County's special counsel concurs with this recommendation. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously.

The Board initially levied recurring annual assessments on residential properties within the County Solid Waste Urban Service Area for the purpose of including solid waste fees on property tax bills on September 14, 2004. The Solid Waste Preliminary Assessment Resolution initiates the process required to impose solid waste assessments for the fiscal year commencing October 1, 2019 (Fiscal Year 2019-20) at a rate of $276.14 per dwelling unit. The resolution also provides that the maximum rate can be changed in the future fiscal year without further notice is $280.00 per dwelling unit, which represents an increase over the prior year, directs the County Administrator to prepare a preliminary assessment roll for said fiscal year to be collected on the 2019 property tax bill, and establishes a public hearing on the assessments to be held on September 3, 2019 at 6:00 pm or as soon thereafter as may be heard. At the public hearing, the Board may vote to assess a lower rate of assessment for Fiscal Year 2019-20. Staff recommended that the Board adopt the Solid Waste Preliminary Assessment Resolution and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution as drafted by the County Attorney's office. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously. RESULT: MOVER: SECONDER AYES: NAYS: EXCUSED: 11.
