7. PRESENTATIONS
A. Debris Removal Progress and Update - Ron Roberts, SLC Public Utilities Director & Jim Garner,
Senior Operations Manager, True North
Ron Roberts, Public Utilities Director, gave the Board an update on the progress of storm debris
collection. He noted that although many of the debris trucks and equipment were in other hard-hit
parts of the state, St. Lucie County has picked up nearly 74,000 cubic yards of Hurricane vegetative
debris, which is about 95%. He also discussed lessons learned and things they will do differently next
time in regards to requirements for debris contractors.
Jim Garner, with True North Emergency Management (who handles disaster debris monitoring for the
County ), expressed his professional opinion that St. Lucie County has a good debris plan and is doing a
good job at debris collection. He noted that he handles debris monitoring for multiple locations in
Florida and Texas, and there is a problem with not enough debris collection equipment. He said that St.
Lucie County is the most productive job that he currently has.
Chairman Dzadovsky asked the Public Utilities Director to explain the difference between how debris is
collected in Ft. Pierce, Port St. Lucie, and the unincorporated County areas. The Public Utilities Director
explained that each of those entities has their own procurement system for debris collection and
monitoring, so the collection is handled differently within the cities and the county. He further
explained the debris monitoring process required by FEMA for reimbursement.
The Public Utilities Director thought that the City of Ft. Pierce was at about 50% of their debris
collection. He anticipated that the County would be finished with debris collection sooner than their
original 60-day estimate.

9. PUBLIC HEARINGS
County Attorney Dan McIntyre gave an overview of the public works hearing items. He noted that the public
hearings are required by State law and do not involve creating the Municipal Services Benefit Units (MSBUs) nor
do they involve a levy of special assessments. The County is required to hold these hearings in advance in case
the Board wants to create these in the future. By law they have to open and close every public hearing. These
resolutions protect the Board's options next year, and do not involve an actual creation or levy.
A. PUBLIC WORKS
Barbara Guettler, MSBU Coordinator, presented agenda items 9.A.1 through 9.A.13. She explained that one of
the funding methods available for capital improvements and essential services is through non -ad valorem
special assessments levied on specially -benefited properties within the proposed special assessment district and
collected using the uniform method pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. In order to preserve this
collection option, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a resolution expressing its intent to use the uniform
method of collecting commencing in November, 2018. The resolution must be considered at a duly advertised
public hearing held prior to January 1, 2018. She stated that the resolution does not in any way obligate the
County to levy special assessments; rather, it simply preserves the County's option to use the uniform method of
collection if special assessments are levied.

10. REGULAR AGENDA
A. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
1. Resolution - City Electric Supply Economic Development Incentives
(This item was presented after item 7.A)
Peter Jones, Business Navigator for St. Lucie County, gave a brief overview of City Electric Supply
and introduced Pete Tesch, President of St. Lucie Economic Development Council. Mr. Tesch
gave additional detail about City Electric Supply, the economic development partnership, the
projected economic impact, and the resolution that the Board was considering for approval.
Chairman Dzadovsky asked the County Administrator and County Attorney to clarify that this
project was not being "subsidized," as a recent newspaper article had characterized it. The
County Administrator explained that this agreement is a performance -based incentive and the
business has to perform before they receive any funds from the County. Chairman Dzadovsky
was careful to note that the City of Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie County have learned lessons from
past economic development initiatives and are operating under a much -improved model in
today's environment. Commissioner Hutchinson pointed out that voters have approved the
economic incentives that the County gives in order to entice and retain businesses in St. Lucie
County. The County Attorney concurred that the voters have approved, every 10 years since
1992, the economic incentives and the County is simply implementing the program as approved
by the voters.
Frank McShane, General Manager for City Electrical Supply, talked about his company and their
plans for growth. He thanked the Board for their support.
There being no further questions or comments from the Board, a motion was made to approve
the resolution and it carried unanimously.
