5. PRESENTATIONS
A. Boys and Girls Club State Youth of the Year
Marissa Gleockler, Chief Development & Communications Officer of the Boys & Girls Clubs of St.
Lucie County, provided a brief overview of the services. The organization's mission is to enable all
young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential. The organization
operates 30 clubs throughout the County, serving over 2,500 members daily. The organization is
experiencing record-breaking membership numbers, especially during the summer. Every member
receives a meal at the clubs, and multiple food pantries are operated at some sites. Funding from
the County has allowed the organization to enhance programming and serve more youth and
teens. The specialized programs were highlighted, including the Summer Internship Program, Pre-
Apprenticeship Program, and Mobile Club. In partnership with the Economic Development Council
501(c)3, TCCEED, and St. Lucie Public Schools, 61 teens will participate in 7-week internships with
businesses throughout the County this summer and earn experience, skills, weekly paychecks, and
the potential for a future job. Interns participate in programs at the clubs, complementing what
they learn in their internships, including financial literacy and soft skills. The second partnership is
with Career Source Research Coast's Summer of Success program, placing 13 teams in various
departments within the organization. The pre-apprenticeship program has graduated two cohorts,
with 32 teams earning certifications in various skills. Certifications include OSHA 10, CPR, first aid,
scissor lift, and high reach. The partnership with Florida Training Services provided 144 hours of
certified training in fields such as electrical, HVAC, Carpentry, and Plumbing. The program aims to
provide resume-building certifications for teens to secure jobs after high school. The mobile club
program operates in local parks in a partnership with the City of Port St. Lucie. Since its inception in
2022, the program has served over 16,000 youth and their family members. The program is unique
because family members, including parents, grandparents, and caretakers, get involved in the
programming. The program has received a national award from the Boys &Girls Clubs of America
and plans to expand to other parts of the County.
Rasheedah Ahmad, Director of Alumni Engagement of the Boys &Girls Clubs of St. Lucie County,
provided a brief overview of the organization's Youth of the Year Program and introduced this
year's recipient. The Youth of the Year program focuses on character and leadership and is a year-
round program for all teen programs in the County. St. Lucie County has had a state winner three
out of the last five years, including the first-ever Southeast Regional Youth of the Year winner. The
Southeast Regional Youth of the Year recipient, Enrique Rosario, will compete at the Boys & Girls
Club of America national competition in October, located in New York.
Enrique Rosario, recipient of the Southeast Regional Youth Award, thanked the Commissioners and
the Boys & Girls Club for their support. He shared his journey from feeling like an outsider after
moving to the U.S. to becoming the school's valedictorian and a proud future Gator at the
University of Florida. The Boys & Girls Club provided him with a community and opportunities to
develop his leadership skills and reconnect with his culture.

In response to comments from the public hearing regarding the responsibility for the potential
increase in costs for St. Lucie County residents (outside the Urban Service Boundary)due to new
developments and the rising demand for services such as fire protection, water, sewer, police,
and electricity. Questioning whether the cost will fall on the developers or the taxpayers. In
response, Kori Benton, Planning & Zoning Manager of Planning & Development Services,
advised that the developer is responsible for extending and providing necessary infrastructure,
such as water and sewage lines, without incurring a net public cost. The land development
code for Hamlets, in particular, which Indrio Groves is proposed, regarding public facilities. The
Hamlet PUD shall be designed so that there will be no net public cost for the provision of water
lines, sewage lines, stormwater, and surface drainage systems, and other utility systems. So,
the cost of extending and providing that infrastructure would be the burden of the developer,
as to their demands on the overall supply of water; or to the extent the developer would pay
impact fees. Ongoing costs for public services like police and firefighters remain the
responsibility of the County and taxpayers, not the developer.

proposed Ordinance No. 2026-18, which aims to update Chapter 18 of the County Code to
modernize emergency management operations. This item was properly noticed. The purpose of
the ordinance is to modernize Chapter 18 to match how emergency management currently
operates. Currently, Chapter 18 does not have a dedicated Article-1 for emergency
management. There is emergency management language in the chapter, but it is limited, and a
portion is the price-gouging section. The proposed ordinance creates a proper emergency
management article, cleans up outdated language, and places the correct information in the
right place. It also reflects current responsibilities around continuity of operations, training
exercises, and healthcare facility emergency plan review. The ordinance does three main things.
First, it creates a new Article-1 for emergency management. Second, it cleans up Article-2, so the
price gouging section stays focused on price gouging. And third, it creates a new Article-5 for
healthcare facility emergency plan review training exercise fees and certifications. The new
Article-1 establishes an Emergency Management Division in the Code. It defines key terms,
clarifies emergency powers, references the County's comprehensive emergency management
plan, and adds Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) expectations for County departments. It
also reinforces that departments need to identify emergency liaisons, participate in training and
exercises, and be prepared to support the EOC when needed. Article 5 deals with healthcare
facility emergency plans. These include facilities like hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living
facilities, adult day cares, surgical centers, and group homes. These facilities are already
required by state rules to have emergency plans. This ordinance does not create that state
requirement. It establishes the County's local process for reviewing those plans, collecting state-
authorized fees, and issuing training and exercise certificates. The goal is consistency, especially
for facilities that serve vulnerable populations.

A. COUNTY ATTORNEY
1. Interlocal Agreement between St. Lucie County and St. Lucie County Water and Sewer District
for issuance of Series 2026 Non-Ad Valorem Revenue Bonds
Katherine Barbieri, County Attorney, presented this item to the Board. The proposed Interlocal
Agreement between St. Lucie County and St. Lucie County Water and Sewer District, a dependent
district of the County. This is for the issuance of Series 2026 Non-Ad Valorem Revenue Bonds.
Pursuant to a County ordinance in 2004, the County established the Water and Sewer District for
the purpose of implementing the utility service requirements of the County's Comprehensive
Plan. The District owns utility assets comprising a water and wastewater system. To permit the
County and the District to make the most efficient use of their respective powers, resources and
capabilities, the County and the District propose to enter into the attached Interlocal Agreement
to provide for the issuance of the 2026 Bonds to refinance certain capital improvements,
extensions, expansions, replacements, and upgrades to its water and wastewater system
necessary to maintain, improve, and expand utility services by the District Project. The Interlocal
Agreement authorizes the transfer of available District System revenues on an annual basis to the
County for payment of debt service on the Bonds used to finance the Series 2026 Project. Unless
extended by mutual agreement or as otherwise provided, the Interlocal Agreement shall expire
upon full payment of the Bonds.
Staff recommended that the Board and District Commission approve the Interlocal Agreement
and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement.
The Board had no questions or comments on this matter.
A motion was made to approve the staff recommendation, and it passed unanimously.

Don Arellano, Planning & Development Services Planner II, presented this item to the Board. The
applicant proposed a major site plan to develop a 182,062-sq. ft. general industrial warehouse
along Kings Highway Corridor within the County. The 17.69-acre project site is located on the east
side of King's Highway and the south side of Whalou Way, formerly Road G, which is currently
under construction. In September of 2023, the Board approved Resolution 2023-163 for a change
in zoning of the proposed property from Agricultural-1 (AG1) to Industrial Light (IL) Zoning
District. The site plan encompasses a 182,062 sq. ft. general industrial warehouse with 52 truck
parking spaces and loading docks, 164 standard parking spaces, which include 8 ADA spaces. The
site provides two full access points by Whalou Way, formerly Road G, which is currently under
construction. The traffic analysis provided by the applicant states the proposed development will
generate the following net new external driveway trips: 186 daily, 32 am peak hour, 22 in, 10 out,
and 40 pm peak hour, 11 in, 29 out trips per day. Left and right turns are proposed at the
project's western primary entrance, and a dedicated right turn lane is proposed at the project's
eastern entrance, which is the truck access. The landscape plan provides for a 15 ft. landscape
buffer along King's Highway and Whalou Way, and a 10 ft. landscape buffer along the east and
south property lines. A 1.72-acre portion of the property is dedicated to the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT), 1.79 acres of open space, 1.17 acres dedicated to stormwater
management, a 2.2-acre lake, and 1.8 acres of drainage for Whalou Way dedicated as an existing
60 ft. drainage easement.
The major site plan conforms to the Standards of Review as set forth in St. Lucie County Land
Development Code Sections 11.02.07 (Major Site Plan) and is consistent with the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommended that the
Board approve the Major Site Plan, subject to the conditions contained in the Draft Resolution
2026-125. Conditions of approval:
1. Prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, all Category I listed invasive plants shall be
eradicated from the site.
2. Prior to commencement of development, including, but not limited to clearing, filling,
excavation, grading, or planting of vegetation, as defined in LDC 2.00.00, a listed species
surveys shall be provided/updated as required per state and/or federal survey protocol, or
written correspondence stating any potential impacts have been resolved from the
appropriate agencies shall be provided. Should any listed species be found as a result of
the updated surveys, appropriate permits from state and federal agencies shall be
required.
3. Prior to commencement of development, an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) shall
