PUBLIC COMMENT (excluding Public Hearing items) Gwen Mars, St. Lucie County Resident - Spoke about how interested she is in the City of Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County as a whole. She remarked on how despondent she and the community were and our dependent on the Board's actions towards moving forward with economic development in St. Lucie County. She stated she had attended and economic development marketing plan for the airport, several studies for the Port of Fort Pierce and was very disappointed when one of the Fort Pierce Commissioners offered to share the cost of a position for someone to take the County through "baby steps" in developing the Port. She doesn't feel staff necessarily has the expertise to handle the project, nor does the director of Public Works have the time to manage the additional work load. She was especially disappointed when the Commission funded half $1 million to fight All Aboard Florida (AAF) and is perhaps considering $1 million to fight something which is not bringing jobs into the community and each of you run on jobs. She feels now, when there's an opportunity to provide some hope for jobs in our community. She stated the constituents in this community who have an interest in jobs need to be heard just as well as those who are speaking out and asking for funding to fight AAF. She stated, "We need jobs. And we need to be heard." She asked the Board to be a Board that makes the best decisions for the community. She asked the Board to reconsider having someone focus on jobs in this community because they know as well as she does that is the most pressing need. She asked that they not put issues which would develop jobs on the back burner from here forward. She asked the Board to reconsider placing someone in a position who would take economic development of the Port, the Airport and all the other resources in St. Lucie County and do something for jobs. George Jones, 1182 SE Mendavia Avenue, Port St. Lucie, FL - Commended the Board and expressed his thanks for their support regarding environmental issues and staff attendance at many of the environmental meetings in the last six months. He spoke on the many different topics regarding environmental issues and commended the County Administrator for his actions and involvement in moving the County forward with these important issues while asking for their continued involvement, citing its importance to all resources. He asked for continuing support as the Legislature reconvenes regarding the water quality monitoring project they were funded through Ocean Research Conservation Association (ORCA). They are looking for continued funding from ORCA, stating it's a tough budget year and if there's anything St. Lucie County can do towards funding the project, it would be greatly appreciated. He spoke on the monitoring sites and results which are available on the website for review and the need to continue the project in order to get a better long-term view of the 2 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 19, 2015 9:00 AM situation. He spoke about the St. Lucie Initiative Rivers Team (SLIRT) and the funding support needed to continue their projects. VI. PROCLAMATIONS APPROVAL 1. Resolution - Proclaiming the month of May 2015 as "Mental Health Awareness Month" in St. Lucie County, Florida. Commissioner Lewis presented the proclamation to Suncoast Mental Health Center CEO Art Ciasca who thanked the Board for the proclamation and introduced others in attendance as follows: Suncoast Mental Health Center's Board President Gabrielle Radcliffe, Esq.; Director of Outreach, Deb Pizzimenti; Volunteer Jennifer Tombs-Strawn; Clinical Director Jane Turmail; Director of Operations Cathy Cordeiro and Volunteer Plythe Gibbons. He provided background information on the program and the importance of early detection and treatment of mental health disorders. He provided statistics on students with disabilities and how they are affected in the long term if untreated. He spoke on the need for awareness, education and funding for mental health services as untreated or under -treated mental health disorders can ruin or end lives but with proper treatment people live productive, happy and healthy lives. Ms. Radcliff stated she was very happy to be part of the group that promotes early detection of mental illness and treatment. As a criminal defense attorney locally, she doesn't have to tell you that we see juveniles who are untreated and we see those juveniles grow up untreated and have criminal justice issues. She noted the Sheriff's Department will most likely confirm the majority of the people in their jail who but for having not treated or having had mental health issues detected early, wouldn't be in that jail. Similarly, it leads to criminal issues or self -medication which then leads to criminal issues. It's very important that we focus on the children, but she is proud to say that since Mr. Ciasca started working, they've also started working on the children and their families in order to try and address whatever issues may have led to their problems to begin with. Ms. Pizzimenti invited the Board to attend a Brown Bag Lecture being held at Indian River State College, B120 on May 20th at 11:30am - 1:00pm. The guest speaker will be Dr. Patty Corey-Suza who will be speaking to the issues of student stressors, followed by Suncoast's St. Lucie County Program Director Robert Campbell, MSW. This meeting is open to the public.

She spoke on the impact goal The American Heart Association and The Stroke Association have set to reach by 2020, noting it cannot be reached alone. Thanks to the support of the colleagues and constituents in the communities you are helping spread the mission and the awareness. She introduced St. Lucie County employee and stroke survivor Mike Claus who stated the statistic that every 3.5 minutes, someone suffers a stroke somewhere around the world and it's not age discriminatory either. He spoke about when he had a stroke six years ago at the age of 43 and how people said, "Wow, you're awfully young," since his stroke he found it can happens to anyone regardless of age. There are teenagers who get strokes all the time and he knew a gentleman who, by the age of 30, had already had three strokes. So it can happen to anyone, anytime and to learn the signs can save your own life. He didn't know what the signs of the stroke were when he had a stroke, but he does now. He talked about the residual effects of the stroke he had left him with but stated he was not complaining because he was a survivor and had lived to see his third grandchild born and his son become an honor roll student at Fort Pierce Central High School where he is also dual enrolled at IRSC. The more awareness he can promote, the better. Commissioner Dzadovsky asked Ms. Mourelatos if it was still appropriate to provide aspirin to a person who is experiencing signs of a stroke. Ms. Mourelatos stated this would be a more appropriate treatment for a cardiac arrest symptom as opposed to a stroke victim as long as the cardiac victim was coherent and had the ability to take the aspirin that is still a recommendation.

COUNTY ATTORNEY 1. Ordinance - Proposed Amendments to Alarm Ordinance Assistant County Attorney provided background information regarding the Alarm Ordinance Amendments. On April 30, 2015, the Committee met with representatives of the Florida Alarm Association and the Security Industry Alarm Coalition to review their concerns regarding the proposed ordinance. Following discussion, the Committee voted unanimously to revise the draft ordinance as follows: 1.) To address concerns to require alarm installers to maintain appropriate licenses under Chapter 489, Florida Statutes, 2.) Delete a separate bond requirement not authorized under Chapter 489, 3.) Require second call verification for non -fire false alarms prior to notifying dispatch at the 911 communications center. Second call verification would not be required in the case of panic or robbery -in -progress alarms or where a crime -in -progress has been verified by video and/or audible means. Staff suggested one other change regarding the effective date. The processes which will take place once the Board adopts the Ordinance will take some time so in order to allow for this, staff suggested an October 1, 2015 effective date rather than the standard filing with the State effective date. St. Lucie County Fire District Fire Chief Ron Parrish, City of Fort Pierce Police Department Interim Chief Frank Amandro and St. Lucie County Sheriff Office Director of Law Enforcement David Thompson all spoke to the Board offering their full support of the Ordinance noting it will help the departments operate as one for the protection of life and safety of the communities. Staff recommended the Board of County Commissioners adopt proposed Ordinance No. 2015-5 with the proposed change in effective date. It was moved by Commissioner Dzadovsky, seconded by Commissioner Mowery to approve the Ordinance with staff recommendations and amended language per discussion held, and; upon roll call, motion carried unanimously. 9 1 P a g E Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 19, 2015 9:00 AM RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Chris Dzadovsky, District No. 1 SECONDER: Tod Mowery, District No. 2 AYES: Lewis, Johnson, Dzadovsky, Hutchinson, Mowery 2. Ordinance - Expert Shutter Services, Inc. - Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Ordinance County Attorney provided background information on the economic development Ordinance requirements and the program established to exempt certain new and expanding businesses from ad valorem taxation as allowed by state law. The application filed by Expert Shutter Services, Inc. was included in the agenda package for Board review. Under the property tax eligibility chart, it appears Expert Shutter Services, Inc. would receive a six (6) year exemption, passed as follows: Year 1 - 100% Year 2 - 90% Year 3 - 80% Year 4 - 60% Year 5 - 40% Year 6 - 20% After the first year of exemption, if a business can verify more than sixty (60%) or eighty (80%) percent of its full-time employees have been residents of St. Lucie County for more than six (6) months prior to employment, the business may be entitled to additional years of exemption. County Attorney noted the exemption pertains solely to property, not to school, fire or real estate values. Commissioner Lewis likened the applicant to a "poster child" for what the exemption program was intended for and noted although an increase of 10 St. Lucie County employees seems to be a small number, it is good thing when you look at the need in the community. There was a consensus by the Board regarding the positive impact this could have on the community and it was noted the company is a manufacturing business and therefore falls into one of the County's "Targeted Industries" and is part of the Economic Development Plan for the area. Staff recommended Board approval of the draft ordinance and authorize the Chair to sign the ordinance. 10 1 P a g Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 19, 2015 9:00 AM RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Chris Dzadovsky, District No. 1 SECONDER: Kim Johnson, District No. 5, Vice -Chair AYES: Lewis, Johnson, Dzadovsky, Hutchinson, Mowery X.

Reauthorizing the Levy of the Ninth Cent Gas Tax - Permission to Advertise County attorney provided background information regarding the gas tax, noting there are four items on the agenda, three of which relate to the gas tax. He suggested one revision to the recommendation regarding the Public Hearing date/time. It was recommended staff advertise the date on June 2, 2015 and time at 6:00 p.m. Staff recommended the hearing be changed to 7:00 p.m. due to scheduling conflicts since passing the tax requires a minimum of four (4) majority votes to pass. Discussion regarding the start time of the meeting and start time of the actual agenda item ensued with the final recommendation to advertise the public hearing start time as 7:00 p.m. but the meeting start time will remain at 6:00 p.m. Should the business portion of the meeting prior to this agenda item conclude prior to the advertised 7:00 p.m. public hearing start time a recess will be taken to allow for interested parties to comment during that section of the agenda. It was moved by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Mowery to grant permission to advertise a public hearing on the draft ordinance on June 2, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. with the meeting starting time remaining at 6:00 p.m. per discussion held, and; upon roll call, motion carried unanimously.

Interlocal Agreement - Local Option Gas Tax - Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie Village County Administrator and Public Works Director provided a presentation on the need and the background for the Local Option Gas Tax. County Administrator noted this item pertains to the Interlocal Agreement which governs the distribution of the Local Option Gas Tax. He reviewed the critical importance of the decision the Board will make regarding this tax as it is a $13.4 million revenue source annually shared between the municipalities and the County which is critical to the county's economic development and quality of life. Public Works Director reviewed the presentation which started with a statement of the issues the County is trying to solve, the current distribution method, the Interlocal Agreement, current allowable transportation expenditures, distribution history, potential solutions, distribution scenarios, major service level impacts and the recommendations. The question was asked by Commissioner Mowery as to whether Local Option Gas Tax was the same as Local Option Fuel Tax and the County Attorney confirmed they were the same, just at times going by a different name. County Attorney explained for the period of September 1, 2015 - December 31, 2017 the distribution of the Gas Tax will remain the same as proposed - based on the transportation expenditures for the previous five (5) years. The reason for this is the Cities are concerned about the negative impact on their budgets so we are proposing 121Page Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 19, 2015 9:00 AM this 2.5 years of the 30 year period so everyone would have a chance to adjust. For the period from January 1, 2018 - December 31, 2044 the distribution formula will be changed to the number of paved roadway miles maintained by the County and the Municipalities with a floor of 20% of the County's distribution percentage. The City of Port St. Lucie will need to approve the Interlocal Agreement by June 1, 2015. The City plans to agenda this item on May 26th in order to vote on the Interlocal and pass it before the June 1st deadline. Staff recommended Board approval of the interlocal agreement using roadway miles as the methodology for calculating the Gas Tax and authorize the Chair to sign the Agreement.
