APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES Board of County Commissioners minutes for the meeting of Tuesday, February 17, 2015 RESULT: ACCEPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Frannie Hutchinson, District No. 4 SECONDER: Tod Mowery, District No. 2 AYES: Lewis, Johnson, Dzadovsky, Hutchinson, Mowery V. PUBLIC COMMENT (excluding Public Hearing items) Barry Mucklow, Port St. Lucie, FL - Commented on the how St. Lucie, Indian River and Martin Counties had opted out of what was previously called "750". He stated he remembered being in a commission meeting where there was standing room only as the Plan was exposed to be "hot air" at best. He thanked the Board for rejecting the plan and their leadership during that critical time when faced with a plan known as regionalism and it's grand schemes, schemes they would have no part of; be subject to, yet have no real part, in determining the County's best course of action. Home Rule would have been mute. He then commented on how both Indian River and Martin Counties have set aside monies to fund potential legal battles against All Aboard Florida (AAF) which is the regional transportation element of 750, stating these are the actions of responsible governments. He then asked the Board to show leadership again by allocating similar funds to fight AAF as the neighboring counties are doing. Patricia Hunt - Came to speak about a lawsuit she's involved in and difficulties she has encountered while trying to gather evidence or request assistance. She talked about a letter that had gone to Mr. Federman, stating numerous documents and incidents regarding attorney Mr. Michael R. Grant. She talked about Mr. Grants extremely violent public outbursts in 2015 and other incidents as well as other issues that have remained unresolved which she is still fighting through the legal system. Ms. Hunt provided extensive background information about the case at which time Commissioner Lewis informed her that they have no jurisdiction over the Sheriff's Department nor the State's Attorney's office so the Commission Meeting was not the proper venue to voice her grievances. She thanked the Commissioner for that information and stated she wanted her comments recorded for public record. Phyllis Fry, 275 Date Palm Road, Vero Beach, FL-- Came to ask the Board to support Indian River and Martin County's efforts against AAF by setting aside funding for legal costs to fight against the project. She stated public and private financial and legal resources in both Indian River and Martin County are united, funded and committed to protecting their citizens from the negative impacts of AAF. She stated the negative impacts will be substantial in terms of financial burden, taxes and safety. She quoted 3 independent studies stating the loss of 5%-20% of property values will be lost on 1,539 properties located within 1,000 feet of the rails in St. Lucie County which equates to a $30,000,000 loss from ad valorem taxes and the ripple effect will be felt by the entire county. Triple freight trains carrying ethanol, liquid asphalt and gas more explosive than petroleum operating in the same corridor with 32, 110 mph trains per day over 342 crossings is a experiment that has never been tried anywhere else in the world and for good reason. FEC corridor crossings deaths are in the 2 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2015 6:00 PM words of FDOT "epidemic" and lead the nation in rail deaths and accidents. 271 deaths are projected to increase by 370% over the next 15 years unless we protect ourselves by showing a strong united front. She asked the Board to invest in the protection of their community. Rusty Roberts, AAF Representative, Headquarters in Coral Gables, local office at 601 21st St., Vero Beach, FL - Came to give a brief update on the AAF project in terms of their activities that relate to the County crossing work, the design plans they have in each of the counties in the Treasure Coast and Brevard County. They expect to have those final designs completed the first week in April. He stated members of the Commission had asked AAF to speak with staff and have a workshop with the Commissioners and said AAF is very happy to do so and recommended April as a good time, right after the 90% crossing plans are out so Board and staff has the benefit of all the detailed designs of all the work AAF plan to do in the County. At that point they could answer questions in an informal format in the workshop session. He then read a brief statement AAF put out about two weeks ago with regard to their short-term and long-term plans with restoring passenger rail to this corridor and bringing passenger rail to more cities in Florida beyond our initial segment which had already been announced. Commissioner Mark Gotz, American Coalition for Property Rights, P.O. Box 881237, Port St. Lucie, FL - Had an interesting question regarding AAF; "Why would a private sector company compete with a public funded entity doing the same thing?" He then stated that basically he's talking about train service from Miami to Broward to Palm Beach and right now we have a train which does that called Tri-Rail. Last year Tri-Rail lost approximately $90,000,000 so as business people understand what that type of loss is and if it wasn't for tax payer funding, Tri-Rail would have been out of business 15 years ago because they've never turned a profit. He asked, so why would a for -profit compete with such a debacle? AAF is proposing numerous passenger trains and freight trains throughout our community. These additional high-speed trains will require upgrades of our railroad crossings for the 20+ we have in the County. We've estimated the cost to be approximate $18 million. More importantly, these trains will have an immediate impact on our quiet enjoyment and quality of life we enjoy here in St. Lucie County. As those here who sit on the Fire Board with me, we are aware of what consequences will be to our ability to respond to our citizens, emergencies, the effect to businesses and Fort Pierce downtown will be a loss of parking, congestion, congestion getting to the downtown and constant movement of 46 trains through the city each day. Many residents have housing that abuts the FEC tracks how will this affect their property values, will it affect our tax base adversely? All three counties on the Treasure Coast in the major cities of the Treasure Coast have passed resolutions against AAF. Like the lagoon, cleanup the time for talk has passed and now it is time to take action. Our sister counties to the North and South have made their commitments to stopping AAF's intrusion into their communities. Why would the citizens and taxpayers of our communities not want to join this fight our financial exposure is limited as we will be joining a class action and sharing our legal fees. This combined effort will join the opponents of AAF to hire the best attorneys and consultants, which makes the difference in any legal action, Steve Ryan is one of the best he's ever seen and he is already on board. St. Lucie County needs to make its commitment now. John Arena, Fort Pierce, FL - Stated if people had listened to him 10 years ago we would have a thriving port, with lots of good jobs for good work. In our modern age with our shiny new toys, what else do we have, air pollution and water pollution. After cleaning his bicycle chain with solvent, the resulting mixture was jet black ink. He thinks that finely ground up tire rubber powder is the pigment, think about it, the rubber that gets worn off your tires go somewhere. Three quarters of Florida voters gave their approval to amendment one to help preserve what's left of our natural heritage. In Africa, large mining and timber companies, including Chinese are damaging the ecology causing wild animals to live closer to villages bringing their viruses with them. Over development is bringing the earth, to a point where it cannot support healthy populations. If scrap 3 1 P a g E Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2015 6:00 PM stainless steel were added to the sheet metal used to make car bodies there would no longer be a rust problem. It would be tougher and when the vehicles are eventually scrapped they would have more value. Sandra Griffin, PGA Village, St. Lucie West, FL - Came to speak out against the possible building of a facility by Compost USA on Midway Road. Commissioner Lewis interrupted Ms. Griffin and provided information on the Compost USA Agenda Item stating there would be a time for Public Comment on that particular item individually and it would be more appropriate for her comments to be heard at that time. Ms. Griffin asked if that would be during this meeting and it was confirmed it would be, so she held the rest her comments until that agenda item was called. Richard Silvestri, 5708 Buchanan Drive, Fort Pierce, FL - Referred to an email he sent the previous week to the Commissioners stating he was opposed to spending the tax payers dollars to fight AAF. He feels strongly that the limited tax dollars the County has to work with should not be spent on a lawsuit. He quoted a poll recently taken by the newspaper where they found that 75% of the residents of St. Lucie County did not want public funds/tax dollars to be spent on a legal lawsuit since St. Lucie County was not a wealthy county or if we have the extra funds why not give the county employees a raise or hire additional employees. He stated this was a "NIMBY" issue - "not in my back yard". He then announced a FDEP public hearing being held regarding FPLs' request to drill down 3,200 feet below the surface of the ground to dispose of non -hazardous waste water at a proposed natural gas fired plant somewhere in Okeechobee County. He asked the question, if this is non- hazardous wastewater why does it have to go 3,200 feet below the ground? Why don't they dump it in a pond by the power plant and they can reuse it, why don't they put it in Lake Okeechobee we sure could use some non -hazardous water or in the Kissimmee River. The details on the meeting were as follows: 10:00 AM next Wednesday morning at Quail Creek Plantation Pavilion 12399 NE 221st St. (Hwy 68 E), West on Orange Avenue. VI. PROCLAMATIONS APPROVAL 1. Resolution - Proclaiming the week of March 15-21, 2015 as "Florida Surveyors & Mappers Week" in St. Lucie County, Florida.

Mr. Brickley spoke on the Society's outreach efforts within the school district where they convey the job opportunities and provided presentations to teenagers using technology and other methods to help hold their attention to assist them in making surveying and mapping an interesting subject.

Ms. Dietrich thanked the Board for the opportunity 4 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, March 3, 2015 6:00 PM to bring attention to the hard work and commitment the St. Lucie County Fire District and Firefighter Local 1377 have done raising funds for MDA. She talked about the "Fill the Boot" campaign as well as the services the funds raised provided for those in need. She introduced St. Lucie County Fire Fighter Alexia Birth who also relayed all the great experiences the firefighters have had and continue to have with the program.
