The Assistant County Attorney provided background on the request for
the specified property owners to add their property to the district.
They own and operate together 3857 acres for citrus groves in Port St.
Lucie. She explained the process and advised the Board that staff
recommends that they waive the referendum requirement.
Commissioner Dzadovsky questioned if there would be any additional

in that area and stated that they don’t expect there to be any issue of
insufficient funds to manage that area.

ITEM NO. RES-2013-
171
DATE: 08/20/2013
AGENDA REQUEST *PUBLIC HEARING
BACKGROUND:
Residents of Townpark, located south of Tradition Parkway and west of Community
Boulevard, have submitted 210 petitions seeking to expand the boundaries of the Mosquito
Control District to add their subdivision. A copy of a map showing the location of Townpark
which lies south of Tradition Parkway and west of Community Boulevard is attached.
Pursuant to Chapter 2003-365, Laws of Florida, property owners may petition the Board to
expand the District boundaries to add their property. A copy of the Certification of the Clerk
indicating that the District has received 210 petitions signed by owners of property in
Townpark is attached. In accordance with Chapter 2003-365, Section 20, Laws of Florida,
which governs changes in the District boundaries, staff has reviewed the petitions and
determined the area proposed to be added is contiguous to existing District boundaries and
is sufficiently developed to warrant inclusion in the District.
If the Board approves the petitions following a public hearing, the property will be added
only if approved by a majority of the qualified electors in the affected area voting in a
referendum called for such purposes. In the past, the Board has waived the referendum
requirement where all of the affected property owners submit petitions for the expansion.
As that is not the case in this instance, it will be necessary to proceed with the referendum if
the petitions are approved by the Board. Given the relatively small number of ballots
required, the Supervisor of Elections will use the mail-in ballot process to conduct the
referendum. The proposed resolution attached to this agenda item provides for approval of
the petitions and authorization for the referendum.
Notice of the public hearing was published in the News Tribune on August 1, 2013. In
addition, notice was also mailed to each of the Townpark property owners.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
TO: Mosquito Control District
PRESENTED BY: Heather Young, Asst. County Attorney
SUBMITTED BY: County Attorney
SUBJECT: A Resolution Approving the Petitions to Expand the Boundaries of
the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District to Add Tradition
Plat No. 12, Townpark Phase One and Tradition Plat No. 19
Replat, Townpark Phase One, and Authorizing a Referendum of
the Qualified Electors in the Subject Area for the Purpose of
Determining Whether to Expand the District Boundaries to Add
Such Property to the District
Packet Pg. 12
Updated: 8/12/2013 2:31 PM by Heather Young A Page 2
On July 16, 2013, the Board granted permission to advertise notice of an August 20, 2013
public hearing to consider approval of the petitions to expand the District boundaries to add
Townpark.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
If the Board approves the petitions and adopts the proposed resolution authorizing a
referendum on the question of expanding the District boundaries to add the Townpark
parcels, the estimated cost of the mail ballot referendum is two thousand five hundred and
00/100 dollars ($2,500.00). Sufficient funds are available for this expenditure in Account
No.145-9910-599300-800 (Reserves).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners, sitting as the governing board
of the St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District, adopt the proposed resolution approving
the petitions submitted to expand the District boundaries to add Townpark and authorizing
a referendum on the question of the proposed expansion.
