GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT At this time Commissioner Hutchinson noted there were no additions to the Agenda but there would be a change to one item and the Assistant County Attorney would address that next. Assistant County Attorney noted staff had met with Dr. Phyllis Crown's attorney prior to the meeting then made the following statement regarding Public Hearing, Planning and Development, Item VIIIB, "RES-2014- 124: RES - Crown Appeal": "Regardless of Dr. Crown's disability status, the parties agree that the request for the accommodation is mute because the requested relief is not within the purview of the Board under Section 7.10.30 of the Land Development Code. Therefore the public hearing on the appeals schedule for tonight will not be heard, however there is also a Code Enforcement case related matter which will be on an upcoming agenda for a Code Enforcement Board Meeting."

Staff noted Code Enforcement Meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of the month and notification to the proper participants will go out when the item is placed on the agenda. Mark Boston - Concerned St. Lucie County resident and president of Nettles Island Community Action Association who resides on the Indian River Lagoon would like to know if the fertilizer bill can be strengthened and a septic tank ordinance be put in place to prevent any further damage to the St. Lucie and Indian Rivers and hopes it could be accomplished prior to November 1st. Shanique Maynard - Executive Director of St. Lucie County Roundtable thanked the Commission for funding the Comprehensive Gang Model, an Item on the Consent Agenda for approval, and joining forces with the other partners on the Roundtable and in fact taking the lead to step up to the issue. She referenced the community in crisis and the shooting of two local youth and how this points out the strong need for support. 3 1 P a g E Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 12, 2014 6:00 PM She then relayed information regarding the schedule for educational training as follows: National Gang Center who will be doing a full day training here on September 30th as well as a town hall meeting in the evening of the 30th. She also noted on Friday they will be hosting a youth forum with at least 100 teenagers in attendance who will have an opportunity to express what is going on from their viewpoint. She stated she is grateful to be able to say, as a community, we are putting our money where our mouth is and making sure every kid in this community has an opportunity for success and thanked the Board again for providing the funding for this endeavor.

REGULAR AGENDA A. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES Indian River Lagoon - South C23/24 South Reservoir Land Acquisition Staff provided background information and a presentation on the funding of the Indian River Lagoon South (IRL-South) project. They noted on behalf of the Governor's office, 8 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 12, 2014 6:00 PM FDEP had requested St. Lucie County partner with the State and contribute local dollars to help acquire needed acreage in the C-23/C-24 Basin. The County has authority to contribute toward this effort from its 317 Fund, which has a balance of approximately $3.4 million. Staff noted the 317 fund is reserved primarily for Greenways and Trails (GW&T) parcel acquisitions, and a significant portion is already earmarked for pending acquisitions. Use of any unappropriated funds may delay completion of certain trail linkages and recommends the Board consider using $1 million for the proposed local contribution to the IRL-South project. This would retain funds for strategic parcels in the GW&T plan. In addition, the Environmental Resources Department will continue to look for grants and alternative funding sources to make up any potential shortfalls in the GW&T program. Staff recommended Board authorization to use 317 Bond funds in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 to contribute to the acquisition of lands in partnership with the State of Florida to complete the acquisition phase of the Indian River Lagoon - South C 23/C24 Stormwater Treatment Area and Reservoirs. a Regular Meeting Tuesday, August 12, 2014 6:00 PM RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Kim Johnson, District No. 5 SECONDER: Chris Dzadovsky, District No. 1 AYES: Hutchinson, Lewis, Dzadovsky, Mowery, Johnson X.
