She thanked the community for it's support during the past 5 years as well as the current and past Boards who have served during her tenure. She then stated, "while this is the pinnacle of my career the appointment of County Administrator made a dream come true for a little girl who, at 13 decided she wanted to run somebody's City. You gave me the opportunity to do "one leg up" and run somebody's County and I simply want to say thank you." VI. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT Bill Patterson, Chairman of the Republican Party of St. Lucie County and resident of Port St. Lucie - He stated last month he had given each of the Commissioners a resolution from Indian River County against All Aboard Florida and was curious as to why the resolution or a resolution of its nature was not on tonight's agenda for discussion. He commented that the developers of All Aboard Florida want to borrow $1.6 billion in federal dollars to support the project and asked who the Commissioners thought would pick up the tab when it goes south? He stated the impact the project would have on this community and the community south of us would be devastating on vessel traffic, emergency vehicles and slow down the entire east coast of Florida to crawl. The required quiet zones would be another burden to our taxpayers here. He asked each of the Commissioners to share with the public how they felt about All Aboard Florida since they had not chosen to put the resolution or resolutions similar to it on tonight's agenda. Ingrid Van Hekan, 304 Anchor Way, Riverwoods - Came here to say a few words about All Aboard Florida - She wanted to thank the Board for informing the public about the project when others were pushing for more money to support the project. She stated that she lives very close to the railroad tracks, so any expansion in the railroad tracks would destroy half of St. Lucie Village, including her own home. She stated that St. Lucie Village was established 30 years prior to Flagler and the Board's help is needed to stop the project from happening. She would like to see someone in the County take a leadership role against All Aboard Florida because the negative impact on the whole Treasure Coast is tremendous. She stated All Aboard Florida is an intrastate business not interstate and the Federal Board that permits and regulates all interstate surface transportation agree they have no jurisdiction over the project. The noise issue has been put in the forefront and the state has set aside dollars to help us mitigate this issue. She asked the questions if anybody realized what sound a diesel engine pulling thousands of tons of steel at speeds of 90 to 110 mph will make? The destruction of the economy along the planned route will be in the billions. If a local business wanted to expand and the expansion created this kind of negative impact on surrounding businesses would you allow it? She wrapped up her statements by asking the Board to rescind any support they had previously given All Aboard Florida, the same as Indian River County. 5 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 6, 2014 6:00 PM Phyllis Fray, 275 Date Palm Rd, Vero Beach, FL - Stated she came to provide the Board with an update concerning the activity along the Treasure and Space Coast regarding All Aboard Florida. She stated that the following entities have passed resolutions. City of Vero Beach Indian River County, Sebastian, The Town of Meeco, Indian River Shores, Barefoot Bay, Little Hollywood, Snug Harbor Lakes and Village, North Beach Civic Organization - covering all properties from Route 60 N. to Wabasso, Tequesta, Mariner Sands Country Club, and resolution drafts from Brevard and Martin County. They have over 11,000 signatures on the petition in opposition to All Aboard Florida. There were 350 attendees at the recent North Beach Homeowners Association in opposition and 4 who spoke out for All Aboard Florida. Homeowners, business owners, environmentalists, and members of the marine industry are uniting. Over 300 people attended this week's "Not All Aboard Florida" Rally. The Martin County Property Appraiser provided data showing that 1300 private properties in Martin County will be negatively affected by All Aboard Florida. Homes located within 400 feet of the tracks will lose 20% in value. Property owners and HOA throughout Martin, Indian River County, Brevard and St. Lucie County are tallying the devaluation of their homes, as are the businesses and more resolutions are on their way. She stated that 6000 vessels passed between the bridges this last month, as documented and the marine industry has begun documenting their losses as well. In Indian River County they share St. Lucie County's frustrations, stating that we are going to have 21,800 per day challenged at three crossings. The safety numbers are not good. There were 21 fatalities in Florida, representing 79% in Florida of all train accidents and 366% is the increase of the death rate that's going to be commensurate with the increase in the train passages. All Aboard Florida places profits above lives by refusing to pay for crossing safety upgrades. You will be paying for those shown in the engineering report. Debt, sky rocketing taxes, plummeting property values, damage to local business, trade and commerce and destruction of the quality of life - we don't feel we should have to sacrifice these for our dear, small towns for All Aboard Florida and pay for it out of our own pockets as well. She then asked if the Board would consider passing a resolution against All Aboard Florida and joining those that are against it. John Malina, a resident of Fort Pierce - spoke on various items he thinks of. He talked about jet engines being efficient carbon dioxide generators and how they depend on producing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide to push aircrafts forward. He stated one of the first steps that should be taken to improve solid waste management would be to start an ongoing program to encourage residents and visitors to participate willingly. He stated it should include everyone from adults to children and innovation should be part of the activities. He noted that more than 10 years ago, he had painted two wooden blocks was Styrofoam dissolved in acetone and red pigment and the coating had proven to be tough, durable and long lasting. He stated if an entrepreneur steps forward to commercialize ideas the Board should work with them. Larry Thomas, Promoter, St. Lucie Mud Jam - Mr. Thomas opened his comment by apologizing to everyone he caused stress to during the last Mud Jam events, including the County and local residents and noted he was here to ask for permission to hold one last event in June. He stated he had been able to get over 90% of the signatures he was asked to acquire and he has a plan for having a very low impact event on Carlton Road. His plan included placing a deputy at his own expense in front of the residences who have had a problem with the noise on Carlton Road, he stated he will also lower the curfew time to midnight and enforce it with his security with help from the Sheriff's Department and lastly he plans to limit the number in attendance. 6 1 P a g E Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 6, 2014 6:00 PM He noted unfortunately, time is not on his side and that his planned event date is June 20 through the 22nd and if he does not start planning this week he will lose the window of opportunity for having this event. He commented that he had no idea what would happen tonight but if it is brought up to be pulled for discussion, he was asking the Board if they could have that discussion this evening, that way he would know whether or not to start preparing for the event. He then thanked the Board for their consideration. Doug Coward, 23 year St. Lucie County resident, form SLC Commissioner - Mr. Coward wanted to let the County Administrator know how much he has appreciated her work and commended her on how well she has navigated her way through what he would describe as both natural and manmade disasters. He noted that her first hire date was the same day as when the first of three hurricanes were making landfall in St. Lucie County, stating that was her arrival and initiation to St. Lucie County. She was relegated to working on hurricane recovery with other staff and specifically charged with trying to figure out the Federal Emergency Management process and did an amazing job. He noted County staff was so proficient in their duties that not only did the County recover quickly from those storms, but we also ended up winning a national award for the Emergency Management Team and our efforts here in St. Lucie County. He went on to comment that not long after that time Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and devastated the city and many of the parishes, particularly to the South. He stated they were honored to actually have received calls from local governments in the southern areas of New Orleans asking for assistance. They had heard from the Miami Herald that St. Lucie County was the most well organized County in Florida that had recovered from the hurricanes and it had recommended that those local governments reach out to the team and have them go to New Orleans and to help. He stated that he had the pleasure of going with the County Administrator and the Assistant County Administrator and had watched as they gave a presentation, basically a cookbook, on how to navigate through the FEMA process and quickly recover and achieve the FEMA dollars. He stated he didn't know if he had ever been more proud to be a St. Lucie County Commissioner than he was on that day. Next he talked about how the County moved from natural disasters to man-made disasters as the economic recession and the housing market collapse moved in and how he again had the pleasure of working with the County administrator, St. Lucie County Commission and staff to put together a local economic recovery package. He stated he was proud of the fact that the county was able to put together about $40 million local public works projects and about 80 or 85% of the workers came from St. Lucie County. That initiative created more local jobs, than the national economic stimulus plan and led to the County Administrator's selection as the 2011 County Leader of the Year for the International City, County Management Association, noting it was quite a high honor. He again thanked the County Administrator for her years of service. VII. CONSENTAGENDA Commissioner Hutchinson announced Item K.2. had been pulled from the Consent Agenda and moved to the Regular Agenda for discussion. Commissioner Dzadovsky brought up item VII C.4. - MV Contract transportation, Inc. He stated he wanted to raise the numerous complaints about company to the Board's and staffs attention he has received, and would like to put the company on notice. He would like to have staff send them a letter giving them a chance to change their way of doing business and if they don't comply he would then like to revoke their certification. 7 1 P a g Regular Meeting Tuesday, May 6, 2014 6:00 PM County Attorney advised Chair these are Medicaid approved contractors, and noted the best action would be to go ahead and approve them, but afterwards follow-up at the Commissioners' request, with an investigation of those complaints and we will follow through with the vendor and make sure they are addressed. At this time the Assistant County Attorney came forward to provide further information. She noted that MV is the contracted Medicare provider with the State so there could be a concern about revoking their license at this time stating it would cause a disruption in service. She referenced a procedure in the ordinance for complaints to be investigated by the Public Safety Director and stated they would get with his assistant tomorrow to get the information and follow-up with MV. If the problems are not rectified, the Emergency Services Advisory Council will review it make recommendations to this Board, which can then schedule a public hearing to consider the revocation of the CON. She noted the program that provides transportation in this County under Medicaid will be going away on August 1st, when the revisions to the Medicaid program take place, so MV will have a limited presence here after that time. In the meantime she stated, they do want to ensure MV is providing service to those clients they need to. RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Kim Johnson, District No. 5 SECONDER: Paula A.

PUBLIC HEARINGS Commissioner Hutchinson took a few moments to address some of the comments regarding All Aboard Florida. She stated she wants the public to be aware Members of the Board have been gathering all the information, not just from public input, but also from meetings in Washington, USDOT and their Rail Specialty Dept. And the EIS study, which All Aboard Florida has been required to do. She noted they talked in depth and brought forward all of the counties concerns they had to date to these meetings. She stated she knows staff has been actively working in keeping a very long list of concerns which is extremely detailed and how All Aboard Florida will affect the County as a whole; from railroad crossings to the right of way; emergency issues to evacuation routes. She also noted that through the Transportation Planing Organization (TPO) they took a step thru Florida District DOT and put together a three County tour with our State Representatives to come and actually see firsthand the crossing from Martin County, St. Lucie and Indian River County, about a month ago. It was well received and extremely eye-opening by our State Representatives and/or their staff. She provided the information tonight because she didn't want it to be thought that St. Lucie County Commission is not being proactive. She stated they are trying to get the facts, make sure they are completely straight, make sure each issue is extremely detailed and addressed before they put that letter of non-support or support together. She then asked the County Attorney to confirm whether or not the Board had ever voted on any letter of support which they would need to rescind. He stated they had not, they had only requested information on the Quiet Zones. The Board reiterated they have been to Washington, they have been to Tallahassee and they have not in any way supported it so as the Chair as stated, there is no need to rescind any support for the project.
