PRESENTATIONS VI. GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT Craig Mundt, A1A, North Hutchinson Island, Fort Pierce, FL, North Beach Association of St. Lucie County, Inc. - Read the Associations' Resolution 2014-001 and told the Board the North Beach Association of St. Lucie County, Inc. is in full support of Resolutions 2014-91 and 2014-92 regarding All Aboard Florida (AAF). Casey Trailer, Palm City, FL - Not All Aboard Florida spoke on the negative effects the All Aboard Florida train system will have on the Treasure Coast, she stated there is nothing to gain from it for our community and showed her support of the Board's Resolutions while urging the Board to vote yes to the Resolutions. Phillip McAdam, Jensen Beach, FL - Here to talk about the financial Impact of AAF. He stated his family owns property along Indian River Drive on which he pays taxes but has never developed. He said he had a buyer for his property but he lost the sale due to the trains. He said he was a retired contractor and thought of building a house on the property but when he looked up the costs associated with it he saw the impact fees would be $20,000. He then stated he couldn't believe the AAF people could come through the County not have to pay any Impact Fees, could believe we can't design some impact fees they should pay. He noted he has paid into the school system for 12 years and now has nothing. He sees nothing good about it, only that it's ruining a very nice community. He is against AAF. Gail Herr, Palm City, FL - Lives in Palm City near Stuart in Martin County said she came to ask the Board to join the at least 21 other local governments who have passed Resolutions stating their concerns about AAF and opposing the detrimental impacts to the Treasure Coast communities. She stated she and her husband have friends who live in St. Lucie County, they eat in restaurants in St. Lucie County, she shops in St. Lucie County and they boat on the St. Lucie River; she said the treasure on the Treasure Coast isn't the pirate ships and the gold doubloons off shore, its the air, the river, the water, the plants, the wildlife and the people. She asked the Board to help stop the onslaught of trains that would create unmanageable traffic congestion, noise and air pollution, falling property values, danger of train collisions and derailments, failures of business and delays in emergency vehicles. The trains will go through many miles of parks and preserves resulting in unprecedented carnage for the wildlife. She stated there is no benefit to us, if we don't stop this travesty, our quality of life will be severely reduced and we might never get it back. She supports the Resolutions the Board is passing. 2 1 P a g E Regular Meeting Tuesday, June 17, 2014 9:00 AM Ingrid Van Heckan, 304 Anchor Way, Riverwoods, FL - Here to ask the Board to vote yes on the two Resolutions coming up. VI I. CONSENT AGENDA Commissioner Dzadovsky mentioned Items M2 & M3 - Public Works Drainage Improvement Projects which he stated were another step in the plan to improve the County's drainage system noting they are small steps in the scope of things but important in improving water quality downstream and he is glad to see things happening. Another item he brought forward was Item J4 - Parks, Recreation & Facilities - Interlocal Agreement with the City of Fort Pierce and the Agreement with Indian River State College for the Tourism Webcam Program. He wanted to thank Fort Pierce City Manager Bradshaw, Deputy City Manager Mims and Commissioner Alexander who sits on the Tourism Board who approved the Interlocal Agreement last night. He also wanted to remember Indian River State College as a partner in the venture for allowing the group to place a webcam at the Indian River State College property on South Beach. He stated it will be an added improvement to the site by enabling people all around the nation if not the world to see what St. Lucie County has in the tourism aspect so he just wanted to say thank you to everyone who partnered together and to this Board for helping make it possible.

RES-2014-91 : RES - Identifying Significant Public Health, Safety and Welfare Concerns w/AII Aboard Florida. County Attorney provided the background information on the project Florida East Coast Industries ("FECI") is developing which is a privately owned, operated and maintained high-speed passenger rail service named All Aboard Florida ("AAF") which will travel between Miami and Orlando with stops in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. He stated it is now understood the passenger rail service is being proposed to be funded by a Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing (RRIF") program loan of up to potentially $1.5 billion from the Federal Rail Administration, an agency of the United States federal government. Instead of being a passenger rail service provided by a private company using solely private resources, it is now clear a significant portion of the financial burden of the passenger rail service is actually going to be borne by the taxpayers through assistance from the federal, state and local governments. Both law enforcement and fire rescue personnel and equipment, cross the FEC railroad corridor to provide service to St. Lucie County residents. Additional grade crossing closures and blockages would hinder the emergency service providers from providing timely responses to emergency calls or transport medical patients located on either side of the FEC railroad corridor, comprising the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of St. Lucie County. These items along with the tremendously negative affect the project would have on the residents of St. Lucie Village Staff recommends the Board oppose the project, approve the Resolution and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution. 8 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, June 17, 2014 9:00 AM RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Tod Mowery, District No. 2 SECONDER: Kim Johnson, District No. 5 AYES: Hutchinson, Lewis, Dzadovsky, Mowery, Johnson 2. RES-2014-92 : RES - In support of an extension of the Pulic Comment Period for All Aboard Florida DEIS. Staff recommended the Board support increasing the public comment period for the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the All Aboard Florida project from 45 to 90 days. The Council conducted extensive public outreach on the topic and several potential impacts to the regions' communities have been identified. County staff also believes it would be appropriate to request the FRA to extend the comment period on the final Environmental Impact Statement from 30 days to 60 days. Staff recommended the Board approve the Resolution and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution.
