Permission to Advertise - Ordinance Scheduling a Referendum Election on November 6, 2018 for a Proposed 0.5 Percent Local Government Infrastructure Surtax This item was presented by the County Attorney. The County Administrator has discussed with the Board the need for a proposed 0.5 percent infrastructure surtax. Proceeds from the proposed surtax, if approved, would be used to improve public roads, reduce traffic congestion, reduce neighborhood flooding, improve local water quality and other similar uses. Implementation of the proposed surtax requires that the Board adopt an ordinance that directs the Supervisor of Elections to schedule a referendum election to allow the qualified electors of the County to vote on the levy of the proposed surtax. It is anticipated that the Cities and the Village will adopt resolutions requesting that the Board adopt an ordinance for a period of ten (10) years. In this regard, the draft ordinance, if adopted, would direct the Supervisor of Elections to hold a referendum election on November 6, 2018 on the ballot question set out in the draft ordinance. If approved by the voters on November 6, the proposed surtax would be effective for ten (10) years beginning January 1, 2019. The proceeds would be distributed to the County and municipalities pursuant to the formula set out in Section 218.62, Florida Statutes. The County Attorney stated the draft ballot language is reflective of the discussion on this item from the March 13, 2018 Informal Meeting. Furthermore, the Board will be able to make changes to the language at the public hearing. Staff recommended that the Board grant permission to advertise the draft ordinance for a public hearing on Tuesday April 3, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. 10 1 Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 20, 2018 9:00 AM Chairman Hutchinson asked what the presentation in April will include. The County Administrator stated it will be a full, complete presentation. Commissioner Dzadovsky commented he feels the word "lagoon" is important in the success of this surtax and stated he feels it is important the language with the word "lagoon" is polled. The Board recapped discussions that occurred at the most recent informal meeting and it was stated that the County can utilize the education component to emphasize that the funds generated will benefit the Indian River Lagoon. Chairman Hutchinson questioned the Board as to whether they support additional polling. Commissioner Townsend stated she does not feel the need for further polling. Commissioner Dzadovsky indicated he is in support of additional polling. Chairman Hutchinson requested the County Administrator send out the different draft versions to the Board prior to the next meeting. There were no further comments or questions from the Board at this time. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously. RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Linda Bartz, District No. 3, Vice -Chair SECONDER: Anthony Bonna, District No. 2 AYES: Hutchinson, Bartz, Dzadovsky, Bonna, Townsend 4. Indian River Estates Stormwater Improvements Phase II - Proposed Settlement Offer for Fountain Engineering Inc. The County Attorney presented this item. He stated this item is related to item 10.A.7 (Indian River Estates Stormwater Improvements Phase II - Request by Dunkelberger for Settlement Offer) and that they will be summarized together. He also suggested the Board vote on both items as one vote. The Indian River Estates (IRE) Phase II project is the construction of a Stormwater Conveyance System within the Indian River Estates subdivision that connects to the existing pump station. The Project included, but was not limited to, the installation of pipes and catch basins. On or about May 1, 2012, the County and FEI entered into a written contract for construction of stormwater improvements known as Indian River Estates Stormwater Improvements - Phase II (FEI Contract). The FEI Contract obligated FEI (Fountain Engineering, Inc.) as the contractor for the construction of a Stormwater Conveyance System in accordance with the plans and specifications. The Contractor's Surety, Hanover Ins. Co. (Hanover), issued a corresponding Public Bond for the Project. The County also entered into a contract with Dunkelberger Engineering (Dunkelberger) to perform construction engineering/inspection services and contract administration during the project. 111 Pag Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 20, 2018 9:00 AM During the course of the Project, FEI did not maintain the Project schedule and other agreed upon schedules, and did not perform its work promptly and diligently. FEI also did not timely pay subcontractors and suppliers. Despite its efforts, FEI did not achieve the contractually required substantial completion or final completion. The County continued to use efforts to supplement CEI services, and FEI was given additional time to complete the project; however, despite the County's efforts FEI failed to perform. The County has taken great efforts to attempt to resolve this matter. The County has not only met with FEI on several occasions, but has also met at least twice with representatives of Hanover in an effort to resolve the dispute. On November 3, 2015, the Board approved the proposed settlement agreement with Hanover and granted permission to sue Fountain and Dunkelberger. In December 2015, an Amended Complaint was filed against Fountain and Dunkelberger. A jury trial is currently scheduled in mid -June of this year. A second mediation in the case is scheduled for late March, 2018. In advance of the second mediation, the County's special counsel has suggested that a settlement demand from the County to FEI would help set a reserve and get the appropriate review by the insurance adjusters for the insurance company that provided insurance coverage for FEI. In analyzing a settlement offer or in attempting to determine an appropriate settlement demand it is helpful to review a "best case - worst case" scenario. In the "worst case" a jury would award the County $0 in its claim against FEI. In that event the County would be responsible for payment of FEI's attorneys' fees and costs which are estimated to be $130,000.00. In a "best case" scenario a jury would award the County the full amount sought, plus attorneys' fees, costs and interest which, in this case, is approximately $3,600,000.00. It is difficult to predict what a jury would do in this case. The facts and legal arguments may be somewhat confusing to the jurors. In addition there are multiple defendants which could add to the confusion. Therefore, County staff suggests that the Board consider making a demand that is less than the full value of the claim. County staff requested that the County's special counsel provide a recommendation as to the amount of the settlement demand. The amount recommended for the settlement demand is $2,500,000.00. Staff recommended that the Board approve a settlement demand against Fountain Engineering Inc. in the amount of $2,500,000.00. Staff recommended that the Board approve a settlement demand against Dunkelberger in the amount of $2,500,000.00. Commissioner Dzadovsky moved to approve both staff recommendations of this item and item 10.A.7 in one vote and it passed unanimously. 121Page Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 20, 2018 9:00 AM RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Chris Dzadovsky, District No. 1 SECONDER: Linda Bartz, District No. 3, Vice -Chair AYES: Hutchinson, Bartz, Dzadovsky, Bonna, Townsend 5. Resolution - Solid Waste Tipping (Disposal) Fees The County Attorney presented this item. The County owns and operates a solid waste facility located at 6120 Glades Cut -Off Road. In 2016 the Board adopted Resolution No. 16-035, which established the tipping (disposal) fees and charges that the County bills and collects for receiving, processing, disposing and managing of solid waste and recyclable materials. Resolution No. 16-035 was amended by Resolution Nos. 17-109 and 17-171. The draft Resolution which, if adopted, would: (a) revise the tipping fees for waste tires, (b) revise the tipping fees for construction and demolition debris, and (c) create separate tipping fees for land clearing debris. All of these changes will take place on May 1, 2018. Staff recommended that the Board adopt the resolution and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution. A motion was made to adopt the resolution and it passed 4-1.

Ardie R. Copas Veterans Nursing Home - Memorandum of Agreement with OHL- Arellano Construction Company This item was presented by the County Attorney. On February 25, 2014, St. Lucie County notified the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs (FDVA) that the County intended to submit an application to become the site for the State's seventh Veteran's Nursing Home. On September 23, 2014, Florida's Cabinet voted unanimously to approve the construction of the nursing home in St. Lucie County. Construction of the nursing home will be funded primarily through a grant from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and matching funds from the State of Florida. As part of the application process with FDVA, the successful applicant (in this case St. Lucie County) was required to provide $500,000.00 towards the project. To date the County has paid $80,343.50 for the title insurance premium for the conveyance of the property to the State. At the request of the State, the County has also committed to paying up to $215,000.00 to Minto to construct a berm and wall. FDVA has requested that the County pay the remaining balance to OHL-Arellano Construction Company, the contractor selected by the State to construct the nursing home. 131Page Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 20, 2018 9:00 AM The Memorandum of Agreement requires the County to pay OHL-Arellano for construction work from the balance of the County's matching funds based on invoices submitted by OHL-Arellano and approved by the State of Florida Department of Management Services. Staff recommended that the Board approve the Memorandum of Agreement and authorize the Chair to sign the memorandum. A motion was made to approve staff recommendation and it passed unanimously.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT & BUDGET 1. Resolution - To Establish the Budget for St. Lucie County, Public Works Heavy Equipment Loan Jennifer Hill, Interim OMB Director, presented this item. She stated the Board of County Commissioners has just authorized the issuance of the Master Equipment Financing Agreement to acquire Public works Heavy Equipment today via County Attorney agenda item 10.A.2. As these funds were not anticipated in FY 18, funding is not appropriated in the FY 18 adopted or amended budget. Consequently, a budget needs to be established in order to expend these funds. Staff recommended the Board adopt the budget resolution establishing the budget for the Master Equipment Financing. A motion was made to adopt the resolution and it passed unanimously. 14 1 Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 20, 2018 9:00 AM RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Linda Bartz, District No. 3, Vice -Chair SECONDER: Chris Dzadovsky, District No. 1 AYES: Hutchinson, Bartz, Dzadovsky, Bonna, Townsend 11.
