ROLL CALL Roll call was taken. 2. PUBLIC COMMENT Delores Hogan Johnson stated that the DEP attorneys refused the administrative hearing application sent to them by the St. Lucie Waterfront Council regarding Taylor Creek dredging. Ms. Johnson commented it was felt that the County was going to make an effort to do the right thing with the Taylor Creek situation. Ms. Hogan Johnson stated that the Waterfront Council is not filing but wanted to bring it tothe County's attention that another group has been formed and they will be looking into the dredging situation. She also expressed her concerns about Lloyd Bell's property having chemicals on it and would like the Harbor Advisory Board to investigate this. Discussion ensued. Mary Chapman stated that Ms. Hogan Johnson was not granted personal standing in the lawsuit and that the Riverkeeper has been given individual standing. "" 1 '\ ~ A recommendation was made that County staff and consultants to meet with the Harbor Advisory Board to keep them better inforrred of environmental issues. Howard Conklin stated that it would be beneficial because he thinks there should be better communication between County staff and outside entities. Jeanne Hearn stated that Dave Hefflebower pledged to contribute $150,000.00 to help fund the Taylor Creek Dredging Project and has not as yet. Mrs. Hearn then made a motion for the Harbor Advisory Board to recommend the County create an MSTU to help fund the project. The MSTU will include Harbor Pointe, Harbor Town, and TaylorCreek Marina. Mrs. Hearn was not sure if Mr. Bell's property would be included. Ms. Chapman seconded the motion. Bill Thiess stated that he thinks it is a good idea to create an MSTU. Mr. Conklin stated that he was not sure it was a good idea because the MSTU will not pay for all property owners. He is worried that some property owners will have double taxation. He also mentioned that there is FIND money to help fund the project and that money should be used before an MSTU is created. Mrs. Hearn amended her motion to create the MSTU to cover the overage that is needed after FIND gives the state money. Ms. Chapman seconded the motion. The motion was carried unanimously by voice vote. ~ 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE DECEMBER 19,2003 MEETIt-G A correction was made to the minutes of December 19, 2003 in item no. 4, page 2, in old business. It stated "Jeanne Hearn mentioned that there was an article in the PalmBeach Post where our resident Wayne Huzienga is buying arenas and developingareas for mega yachts and that his projects are going to other areas". This sentence should read: "Wayne Huzienga is buying marinas and developing areas for mega yachts". (This was corrected in the minutes of December 19, 2003 per the request of Hovard Conklin). Having corrected this statement, it was motioned by Councilman Cooper and seconded by Bill Thiess to approve the minutes of December 19, 2003. The motion was carried unanimously by voice vote. 4. OLD BUSINESS Mrs. Hearn asked if anyone has contacted Wayne Huzienga. She stated that David Roach from FIND was supposed to speak to the Harbor Advisory Board. Mrs. Kavanagh responded that she is going to contact Mr. Roach and ask him to speak at the next Harbor Advisory Board Meeting Mrs. Hearn asked Assistant County Attorney Heather Young if she has found any more information on explosives in the County ordinance. ~ 2 \... Ms. Young responded that she looked and the Land Development Code does not have any information but the City Code of Ordinances does have some requirements dealing with fire prevention. Mrs. Kavanagh researched fines on lowering bridges. She found out that the fines are from $1,000.00 to $1,100.00 if you do not lower your outriggers and cause the bridge to open. She also found out that no one has ever been fined and is up to the discretion of the captain as to wheather his boat can fit under the bridge. Mr. Conklin said the problem is the fine notices are located on the bridge. He asked if they sited a local or a County ordinance. Mrs. Kavanagh stated she had not found that out yet, but will. Ms. Young stated she would get more information as well and a lengthy discussion continued. Mr. Conklin stated the study on Brazilian Peppers has been delayed,but he passed out I nformation on the herbicide that is recommended be used for the Brazilian Pepper problem.. ~ Ms. Chapman expressed her concerns about the Beach Renourishment. She stated that a year ago she presented this to the Harbor Advisory Board. Ms. Chapman stated that she has not heard from County staff on this matter. She stated she would make a presentation next month so that new members will be familiar with the project. Ms. Chapman reported that there is a system available to help with beach renourishment and went on to explain to the committee. Mr. Wazny stated that part of the problem with implementing this system is the County has no control over the waters ofthe U.S. and that area is under the jurisdiction ofthe Army Corp of Engineering. He stated that he recalls there was a public workshop in the last couple of years addressing the t-groin issue at South Beach. Mr. Wazny stated that he will schedule Richard Bouchard, Coastal Engineer, to speak at a meeting. Ms. Chapman told Mr. Wazny to contact Ralph Sexton for any information. He is the owner of Ocean Grill. Jerry Kuklinski inquired about the information on Limited Cargo that he requested at the last meeting. Ms. Young reported that she does not have that information yet, but is working on getting it. Ms. Young distributed a draft copy of the ordinance regarding outside storage height limitations for the committee's approval before going to the Planning and Zoning Commission. After a lengthy discussion i was recommended the Ordinance read outside storage of intermodal containers at warehouse, storage services, dock yards shall not exceed a height of 16 (sixteen) feet. Heather also pointed out that this storage was allowed only in IH (Industrial Heavy) zoning. ~ 3 ~ Mr. Conklin motioned that Heather incorporated all of the Committee's suggestions into the current ordinance that she has drafted. Councilman Cooper seconded the motion and the motion was carried unanimously by voice vote. 5. NEW BUSINESS Mrs. Hearn commented on the Tall Ship Unicorn's arrival and distributed the information on where it is and the times and dates available to tour. Ms. Kavanagh asked the members if the day and time of the meeting was good for everyone. After discussion it was decided the Committee will meet on the second Thursday of the month a 3:00p.m. Mrs. Hearn asked Mr. Wazny if there were any letters from Benji Brumberg regarding the Port and he replied no. Mrs. Hearn stated that the Haskell Corporation has a new plan they are presenting but she does not know what it will be. ~ Commissioner Becht reported on the CRA that the City of Fort Pierce has created. The CRA is to explore the acquisition of the Roland parcel on South Beach so that the parcel will stay accessible to the public. Ms. Chapman stated that she recently attended a conference. Don West presented an arial photograph that depicted the amount of land that is in conservation vs. how much is built upon.

FORT PIERCE HARBOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE \.r Minutes of Meeting March 11, 2004 Convened: 3:09 p.m. Adiourned: 5:00 p.m. This meeting of the Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee was held Thursday, March 11, 2004, at 3:00 p.m. in the Conference Room #3 of the Administration Annex Building, 2300 Virginia Avenue, Fort Pierce, Florida. 1. Roll Call Roll call was taken. Members Present: Howard Conklin, Vice Chairman' withdrew at 4:37 D.m. Commissioner Eddie Becht Councilman Chris Cooper' commenced as alternate Chair David Souza at 4:37 D.m. Jeanne Hearn Mary Chapman Pieter Stryker Bill Thiess Jerry Kuklinski (alternate member) ~ Members Absent: Gail Kavanagh, Chairman Also Present: Vernon V. Vandiver, Jr., Vandiver Consultants Corporation Harold Phillips Gaby Omo Bob Bangert, The Tribune Richard Bouchard, Public Works, Erosion Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney Ray Wazny, Assistant County Administrator Jim Reeder, The Palm Beach Post Eva Luna, Executive Aide to Commissioner Barnes \.,.. ~ 2. PUBLIC COMMENT Public comment was deferred until later in the meeting so that the guest speaker, Dr. Vernon Verndiver, could inform the Committee about the status of invasive weeds in the Port area. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 12, 2004 MEETING Peter Stryker noted that Councilman Cooper and Mary Chapman's names were in both the present and absent lists, and he recommended that it be corrected. It was motioned by Jeanne Hearn, and seconded by Peter Stryker to approve the minutes of February 12, 2004 meeting. 4. OLD BUSINESS Howard Conklin introduced Dr. Vern Verndiver; his experience includes over 28 years at the University of Florida dealing with control methods of aquatic and terrestrial weeds. Mr. Verndiver, after surveying the entire Indian River Port area, reported his findings, (please see attached map): ~ Area 1: Contained scattered stands of small Australian Pines. One large tree was treated and dead. Area 2: This area is infested fairly heavily with 10-15 feet high seedlings parallel to the inlet, between buoy #9 and #10. Mature Australian Pines were spotted farther inland. Area 3: A couple of mature trees were in the beach area. He stated that these trees will not spread, because there is a lot of traffic in the area. Area 4: Large stands of Australian Pine cover 75% of land. At the northeast point of the island, there were seedlings spotted. There were15-20 young trees that appeared to have been treated and were dead. Area 5: In the County park, there were two small stands of Australian Pine. He said that it appeared that a few had been treated, but not all of the trees would die. Area 6: A mature stand of Australian Pines were found on the peninsula. \..r Area 7: He said that there are many mature stands on the islands. \w Mr. Verndiver stated that in the area of Harbortown Marina, Brazilian Pepper trees located on the upper-side of the break water were starting to compete with the Mangroves. Dr. Verndiver explained that the Australian Pine was introduced to Florida, originally used as a windbreak. The Brazilian Pepper was introduced as an ornamental plant. The Australian Pine seeds are spread by the wind, and the Brazilian Pepper tree seeds are spread by birds. These plants grow well in poor conditions and tend to outgrow native plants resulting in a dominant stand, killing all other plants. Also, many people are allergic to Brazilian Pepper trees. As a recommendation, Mr. Verndiver said that the areas with small trees would not be expensive to treat. He explained that trees on the outlying area should be dealt with first, because they are easy to dispose of and they are the source of infestation. He recommended that the Brazilian Pepper trees at the Harbortown Marina be cut, and the stumps treated to prevent future growth. Dr. Verndiver complimented the St. Lucie County area of Florida as being one of the most aggressive areas in dealing with invasive weeds Bob Bangert asked if there is an alternative method to Round-up, because this chemical is very expensive. ~ Dr. Verndiver explained that the trees can be painted with a solution that contains tryclopyr, and then mixed with oil. He said that with this method the stump can be painted, or the uncut tree may be treated. He explained that when using Round-Up (half Round-Up I half water), if the chemical is not put on the cut trunk immediately the tree will not die, because the tree quickly exudes water that will stop the chemical from absorbing into the stump. Commissioner Eddie Becht asked if there are any funding sources that help to pay for the control of these invasive trees. Mr. Verndiver explained that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Invasive Plants has a program that tries to fund equally throughout the state every year. Bill Theiss stated that Steve Fousek, Environmental Lands Specialist, is very informed about funding sources. Jeanne Hearn recommended that the map and a copy of the tape be given to Steve Fousek, so that he is informed on the Port's infestation problem. \..r Mr. Kuklinski asked if the trees can be used for mulch. -... Mr. Verndiver said that using the plants for mulch would cut costs, but the Australian Pine leaves give off a chemical that prevents growth of native vegetation, and that the mulch would probably contain this chemical as well. He recounted that the pepper tree stands were small enough that it would be cost effective to take the remains out on a boat. Mr. Theiss asked if there is any other use for the wood. Dr. Verndiver reported that the wood finishes well, and is used as mulch. He explained that normally the wood is cut before it is large enough to be valuable, because it causes such a threat to the environment. 5. New Business Mr. Conklin distributed an article that explained the problems resulting from cargo ships in Ports (please see attached). He stated that one of the problems is pollution and noise caused by multiple ships running their generators 24 hours a day. Jeanne Hearn explained to the Committee that these environmental and security issues continue to be raised with the purpose of informing the community of the problems cargo ships could bring to the Fort Pierce Port. ~ Mr. Conklin said that he serves as the Chairman of the Fort Pierce Area Council of Chamber of Commerce, and that at the last meeting the Mayor explained that negotiations with Mr. Bell had ceased. Mr. Conklin said that the Mayor is doing everything that he can to promote Megayachts. Commissioner Eddie Becht said that The Haskell Group met with the Mayor, Commissioner Barnes, Commissioner Coward, and Mr. Becht to discuss their new approach to buying the Port. They are asking the City, either with City revenue or with C.R.A. funding, to make an offer to buy the Port. Mr. Becht said that due to the outcome of St. Lucie County's negotiation with Mr. Bell, he thinks that the City should be cautious and have fully researched the possibility of their offer being rejected, and entering into the condemnation process before proceeding. He thinks that the City should be sure that the condemnation suit would be successful before submitting any offer to Mr. Bell. Ray Wazny explained that the County started the condemnation process, and within the 30 day window allowed by law, the County hired a law firm to consider the County's case and their chances of winning. Due to the advice of the attorney the Board of County Commissioners decided to stop the process. Mr. Wazny explained that if the County would have proceeded and lost, they would have been required to pay the attorney fees for the County and Mr. Bell. \..,.. Peter Stryker voiced his concern that Mr. Bell has been able to control the terms of sale, because he is keeping 15 acres. He said that whoever buys the 52 acres will have to become a business partner to Mr. Bell and should be cautious. \.r Mr. Kuklinski stated that he is concerned that Mr. Bell, in developing 15 acres for cargo, will cause problems for the remaining Port. Mr. Becht expressed his respects that the property is owned by Mr. Bell, and he has the right to do with that property as he pleases. He said that although Mr. Bell is the owner, his acreage plays an important role in the future plans of the Port. He also articulated that Mr. Bell is required to abide by the Master Port Plan. Mr. Becht voiced his opinion that if the City is going to buy the Port, they should buy the complete 67 acres. He also stated that to buy the Port would be a risk to the City, because of the high price to buy and develop the land before any profit could be made. Commissioner Becht stated that if the Port is worth $11,000,000, then the property should be taxed accordingly. \.,. Jeanne Heam stated that Jeff Furst, Property Appraiser had raised the Port's taxes. She recounted that Mr. Bell contested the raise, because when he purchase the property, he paid $5,500,000. Ms. Hearn explained that Mr. Furst told Mr. Bell that he could lower the tax, but in order to lower the tax, Mr. Bell would have to tell Mr. Furst what he felt the property is worth. Ms. Hearn suggested that Jeff Furst be invited to speak to the Committee. Peter Stryker asked Mr. Wazny if he is able to inquire about the unknown parties dealing with Mr. Bell, and at what price they are negotiating. Mr. Wazny explained that he is unable to obtain any private information. Jerry Kuklinski asked if the purchase of the remaining 15 acres has been considered. Mr. Becht said that he would strongly consider that possibility, because it would be less of a risk to the City. Ms. Hearn suggested that Mr. Becht contact Riviera Beach, because they are in the process of condemnation involving C.R.A. funding. She wants to know what other areas are doing differently to win condemnation suits. ~ Mr. Becht explained that he wants to make that part of the future C.R.A. Director's job. He also stated that he wants to see the properties in the City appraised continuously, because the market is rising fast. If the properties are re-appraised more often, the city will receive the correct, and much needed return from property taxes. He reported that he has a meeting scheduled to discuss this and other issues with Mr. Furst. Mr. Conklin requested that Commissioner Becht report about his meeting with Mr. Furst at the next meeting, and Mr. Becht agreed. '-' Jeanne Hearn inquired about progress on the definition of limited cargo. Heather Young reported that she is trying to set up meetings with the Commissioners so that they can direct her on how to proceed. It was noted that limited cargo is hard to define, and if it is not defined precisely the regulations will be stretched. Mary Chapman presented photos (see attached), showing the improvement to a section of the beach in Vero Beach after Prefabricated Erosion Prevention Reefs (P.E.P. Reefs) were placed for a stretch of a quarter-mile, a quarter-mile off of the shoreline. The accumulation of sand has occurred in the reef area and a quarter-mile to both sides. Beyond the reefs, erosion has continued. There is space between each reef, and the structures allow water to pass through. The first pictures were taken in 1995, and the other two were taken in November, 2003. The pictures are taken of the same project, at different angles. She described the area as a great snorkeling site, because marine organisms have attached to the reefs. Mrs. Chapman stated that the project was funded by the owner of The Ocean Grill, Ralph Sexton, and it has not required any maintenance. \..r Howard Conklin asked how the difference in beach environment (the strength of the tide) at the inlet would change the outcome of placing P.E.P. Reefs. Richard Bouchard, the S.L.C. Erosion District Manager, explained why the Fort Pierce inlet erodes at a faster rate than other beach environments. He reported that the predominant drift of sand is north to south, and that the sand migrates to beaches farther down the coast. He said that due to the severe waves caused by the inlet, the beach will continuously need to be replenished. He explained that there are many methods used to stop beach erosion, and the affect of these structures are different in each area due to different environmental factors. A possible sand pumping system is being researched for the inlet. This method would transfer built up sand from the north side to where the sand is needed. Mr. Bouchard explained this method could help, but there isn't enough sand to completely replenish the area. He stated that after much research, in collaboration with the Army Corp, it has been decided to put T-Groin structures on the south side of the inlet to slow the erosion process. With these structures, the beaches will still need replenishing, but at a slower rate. Mary Chapman voiced that in South Carolina, the T-Bone structures were expensive, caused damage, and did not solve the problem. ~ Jeanne Hearn stated that she has lived in the Treasure Coast area all of her life, and that she logically associates the erosion problem with the deepening of the channel. She said that it is important to investigate the -- future ecological effects when making changes meant to improve the beaches. ~ Bill Theiss inputted that if the channel is at a lower depth than the beach area's bottom, the channel would act as a sand trap, and cause more beach erosion. Mr. Cooper asked if lengthening or shortening the canal would affect beach erosion. Mr. Bouchard said that because the north side of the channel is longer, the water rushes around the south bend, and possibly enhances the erosion problem. He said that lengthening the south side is being considered. Councilman Chris Cooper voiced that he would like to invite Mr. Ralph Sexton, Funder of the Vero Beach PEP Reef project, to speak at the next Committee meeting. 5.

I~ 2.~~ Counterterror patrol boats cruise Port of Palm Beach \w-' By TANYA WRAGG Palm Beach Post StaffWriter RIVIERA BEACH - Equipped witþ high- -. tech binoculars and infrared cameras, they ~. patrol the waters around the Port of P:iIm Beach all day and all night, looking for crim~ - inals and teITorists. ~ : They're Sea W olf Marine Patrols, m7II1- ~ bers of a new waterborne counterterronsm :;. patrol pilot program recently initiated by port officials. ' , , Sea W olf Security Group sen~s ~atroImen . . to cruise around the port m purpose- , 'designed and built" vessels. The boats can 1 travel up to 80 miles an hour and have stainless-steel plates on their bottoms so they can be anchored on the beach. They11 help to collect possible terroris.t intelligence for ~ocal 'law enforcement agenCIes and serve as VIsual and physical deterrents for criminals. SeaSecure a Fort Lauderdale-based company that 'was recently appointed as ~e maritime security adviser for the state, will serve as the project manager. "The purpose of deterrence is to create an atmosphere"where the terrorist or the crimi- nal has to think twice whether it's worthwhile \..-. \..- for him to take a certain action," said Sea- Secure spokesman Ron Thomason. "We know that teITorists and criminals, at times, will observe the activity at a port to determine what is the best opportunity to penetrate the facility. When they see the increased activity, they don't have a clue what the window of opportunity is so they're more likely to move toa different port" SeaWolf officials would not say what au- thoritative rights the patrol crews have, nor if they carry firearms. Neither Port of Palm , Beach nor Sea W olf officials would say how much the program costs or how long it will run, citing security concerns. There is no money available in the port's budget for the program, and port officials are seeking mon- ey from the federal government, said Lori Baer, the port's deputy director. The port re- ceives $350,000 from the federal government and $2 million from the state for security, 'This is the first program to specifically tackle requirements named in the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, Thoma- son said.

Keeping you informed means giving you honest updates whether the news is good or disappointing. A few weeks ago, I wrote to you about an anticipated signing of a deal to sell the 52-acre Port property at the beginning of February, 2004. I have the disappointing duty to inform you that this target deadline has come and gone. The good news, however, is that interest in the 52-acre Port area remains strong, with new groups contacting us on a nearly weekly basis. While the price is set, we feel we have an obligation to receive the interested parties and assess which group might be a best fit for the community and for us. Please know that each day that passes costs us a significant amount of money in pure holding costs (and opportunity costs) and we are not anxious to delay the choice any more than common sense would dictate. I thank you again for your continued patience and guidance in this very complex transaction. While I intend to continue to keep you informed - in writing - of any significant steps completed, please feel ftee to contact me at any time for updated information on the Port sale. Sincerely yours, ~~ Benji Bromberg 706-442-2920 Cell 706-569-8746 Home Ga 954-581-8909 HomeFI ~ 10¡ ~©Œ.D';Y7@'l:' ¡~J MAR: 0 3 !004 ~I CO. ADMIN.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 12, 2004 MEETING Howard Conklin made a correction regarding negotiations with Mr. Bell having been ceased, not seized. It was motioned by Jeanne Hearn and seconded by Chris Cooper to approve the minutes of February 12, 2004. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. 4. GUEST SPEAKER· RALPH SEXTON Mary Chapman introduced Mr. Ralph Sexton, a Florida resident with over 30 years of experience in fighting beach erosion. Two videos were shown to the Committee explaining the process and the effect of placing Prefabricated Erosion Protection Reefs (PEP) in a highly eroded area of beach in Vero Beach. '" Mr. Sexton reported on the specifics of the project (please see attached) including the benefits to the beach, money saved by installing the PEP Reefs, and the differences of opinion with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Howard Conklin stated that he would not recommend the placement of PEP Reefs in St. Lucie County without a permanent permit. Commissioner Eddie Becht stated that a temporary PEP Reef would save money by naturally accumulating sand that, without the PEP Reefs, would be bought. Becht noted that the situation in Vero Beach is very different than the erosion problem at the Fort Pierce Inlet. He asked Mr. Sexton for advice regarding South Beach in Fort Pierce. Ralph Sexton suggested that a Coastal Engineer design a beach restoration system that would include a sand transfer plant and the PEP Reefs. He stated that he thinks undertow caused a lot of the erosion at South Beach, which would be stopped by the reef. He stated that at the Indian River Inlet in Delaware, a sand pumping station was installed that works on the power of water pressure and could transfer 250,000 yards per year. ~ Jeanne Hearn stated that, as she understood it, the PEP Reefs could be used in many types of environment by changing the design of the reefs. \: ~ '-' ~ Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee April 8, 2004 Page 3 Pieter Stryker asked for Ralph Sexton's assistance in informing the DEP of other successful PEP Reefs projects, so that the Committee has an argument if the DEP tries to pull the Reefs. Ralph Sexton recommended Tom Campbell, Coastal Engineer, to design a beach restoration plan for the Fort Pierce Inlet. Ralph suggested that the Committee ask Tom Campbell what method would be more beneficial; a beach restoration or a sand transfer plant. Ralph Sexton stated that he has no knowledge of any project that the PEP Reef has been used or considered in an inlet area. Ralph Sexton stated that, in his opinion, the inlet is the cause of the erosion problems at the Fort Pierce Inlet. Due to the information provided by Ralph Sexton, the Committee decided to contact Tom Campbell to invite him to a meeting, as well as a member of the Army Corps of Engineers to be fully informed of the pros and cons of PEP Reefs and other erosion prevention methods. 5. UPDATE ON COMMISSIONER EDDIE BECHT'S MEETING WITH JEFF FURST Eddie Becht reported that Jeff Furst appraised Mr. Bell's 67 acres at 11.2 million in 2003. Eddie Becht stated that he was informed that the 67 acres would be re-accessed in 2004. He stated that Jeff Furst continues to readjust all waterfront property. Eddie Becht stated that he is opposed to the City starting the condemnation process, because of the limitations to the type of developments allowed by the process of condemnation. Eddie Becht stated his opinion that the government should not be involved with Mr. Bell in purchasing his property. Jeanne Hearn stated that she is unsure if the Master Port Plan is specific enough to avoid negative development. OLD BUSINESS Heather Young informed the Committee that the Planning and Zoning Board voted to recommend the height limitation, proposed by the Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee, to the Board of County Commissioners. She stated that the height limitation might be changed from 16 feet to at least 19 feet to compensate for the height of 2 containers. Heather Young stated that the final public hearing for the recommendation would be on April 20th. .. Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee April 8, 2004 Page 4 ~ 6. NEW BUSINESS Eddie Becht stated that Bob Franke is the new Community Redevelopment Agency director. Eddie Becht stated that he had been informed that the Rawlins Property had been transferred. He stated that to help with the parking problem on the beach, a 4-story parking garage is being proposed to be built on the Rawlins Property. Mr. Becht stated that an objection of the project is that the garage (40-45 feet high) will block the view of the inlet. 7. ADJOURNMENT Having no other business to discuss, it was motioned by Pieter Stryker, and seconded by Jeanne Hearn to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote.

The P.E.P. Reef \.,. Presentation given to the Harbor Committee, Fort Pierce, Florida, April 8, 2004 by: Ralph W. Sexton The PEP Reef was installed in June of 1996, it was 3,000 feet long and cost 2 million dollars. Since then, it has put 12 feet of sand under the Ocean Grill and up against the city sea wall and built 125 feet of beach. Also, it has built a beach 3000 feet to the north of the original reef and3000 feet of beach to the south, 9000 feet of beach and there is no erosIOn. I asked the County Engineer if they would survey the P .E.P, reef and the control areas to the North and to the South and tell me how many more cubic yards of sand that we have now compared to when it was first put in. Also had the control areas increased in length as far as sand deposited on the beach. It took all summer to get the answer and it was not complete but I took the figures that Johnathan sent me and did some extrapolating and here is what I came up with. We now have 9,000 feet of beach and maybe more than we had in 1996 and there are 104,772 more cubic yards of sand worth $1,738,385 dollars based on $16,60per yard, which is what Sebastian cost. \.. There is 12 feet of sand piled up against the city sea wall and 125 feet of beach at low tide at Sexton Plaza. It amounts ton 11.64 cubic yard per linear foot over the 9,000 feet. I say that if the reef had not been put in we would not have the beach. Also, the mean high water line has moved seaward 2,7 feet in the P,E.P, reef, zone since 2001 measuring about 3 feet more of dry beach width and there is no erosion. The County selected the most highly eroded area in Indian River County to install the P,E,P. reef and the Ocean Grill is at the mid point. The State Department of Environmental Protection calls it experimental and demanded that it be monitored by the Army Corps. of Engineers and evaluated. Also, a computer study was made by Dr. Zarillo at F.I.T. this all cost a million dollars also. The State and the Corps. were hoping for it to fail. For the first few years it appeared that the reef was not working and even causing erosion and then it began to build a beach, I did not have erosion at the Ocean Grill from the day it was put in and then it began to build a beach. The reef has to have a source of sand in order for it to build a beach, '-' When the oceanfront property owners filed suit against the Sebastian Inlet taxing district on August 3, 1995 the district decided to dump sand on the beach in the surf zone startin · '..". ?'. .... in 1997. the State ordered them to do it. When they dump the sand and after northeasters \., the sand comes down to Vero Beach and the reef catches it thus building a beach, I have observed the beach growing over the years and after every storm it gets a little higher and wider. We have had some bad storms and some of the sand has gone away, but the property has been protected, When the storm is over in a few days the sand comes back and sometimes even more, I t can even happen overnight. I think that the reef holds the sand until the waves can bring it back. I also think that undertow is what takes the sand away and the reef cuts down on the undertow. I want to emphasize that if you want to use the reef for shore protection build a beach first and install a reef in front of it. The reef could also be used to mitigate loss of marine habitat in fact it would increase the marine habitat if we could get the state and the Corps. to realize it. Coastal Engineers, the Corps of Engineers, and D,E.P, avoid the P.E.P, reef like the plaque and say that it is experimental. I say call it an "offshore break water" and they might understand that. Any thing you do is experimental until it works. PALM BEACH \.,. They had a P .E.P. reef in Palm Beach which had some problems and they took it out. There is also the Dupont reef, which is still there and working. They made three mistakes in Palm Beach: 1. They should have put gaps in the reef so that the water could go back out. In Palm beach it had to go clear to the south end of the reef to get out thus taking all of the sand that way. 2. They should have put sand on the beach before they installed the reef. There was no down drift source of sand, 3. They took it out. They should have placed sand on the beach and made gaps in the reef so that the water could recede. I t would have prevented the erosion and provided a habitat for sea life. I want to reiterate, have a source of sand, put gaps in the reef so that the water can recede and call it an offshore breakwater instead of a P.E.P. I will be glad to answer any questions if I can. Thanks for you time and attention. ~ I '.' . \.... BIIAKVIATlIS " INIERNA1IO~ . DJ~a..-I~S3Y·.~r~, "1#. T""i ~ . ~...". ,~". ' Ero~ion.

How Does The The Beachsaver reef system works Bea~hsa:ver \lVork? with sand nourishment and ocean forces to protect and extend the life of beaches. The reef reduces the volume of sand required for a nourishment project, retains replenished sand as it is pumped onto the beach, and keeps added sand on the beach longer by slowing the rate of erosion. ,< }" -. IIA~HSAlI"..F The reef wortœ to enhance the long-term performance of beach fills in two ways. First, the reef forms a partial barrier, preventing suspended sand from moving out to sea in the return wave. This sand resettles instead in the nearshore zone or emergent beach. Second, the energy of incoming waves are reduced by 20 to 30 percent as they cross the reef and as they break farther offshore, taking less of a toll on the beach front (see illustration above). An important patented design feature of the reef is the "backwash flume" (circled above). The flume consists of three slotted openings which are wider on the curved beachward face and become narrower as they arc upward to the top of the structure. As a storm wave recedes, the flume projects a high velocity curtain of water and suspended sand upward off the reef so that the next incoming wave cycles the sand back towards the beach. This inhibition of the off shore movement of sand is key in erosion control during storm events.

They are specially designed for stability in ocean, bay and lake environments. Triangular-shaped, each module is 10 feet long along the shorefine, 6 feet high and 16 feet wide perpendicular to shore (see photo). A large saw-toothed base and low center of gravity help provide extreme stability against wave and tidal action. Stability is enhanced by the mass of the interlocked >;~e~)!i:¡jj,i> _ ' > ii.

In the University of Delaware wave tank, it took hydraulic jump wave simulation beyond the limit of natural forces to overtum even one free- standing reef module. The toe of the reef structure is protected from scour by the submerged placement and use of stone-filled Triton marine mattresses (for more information click here to go to our GEO-SVN site). What Are Beachsaver Reefs Made From? Beachsaver reefs are built for longevity under the most severe conditions. They are pre-cast from a composite of concrete and Microsilica Force 10,000, a W.R. Grace Construction Products material. The composition has twice the compression strength, 10 times the impact strength and 20 times the salt resistance of conventional cast concrete. It also is superior in resisting freeze- thaw. Steel rebar reinforces the concrete for additional structural integrity . Beachsaver reefs are environmentally friendly. They are made from inert materials which have no negative impact on water quality. In fact, sessile marine organisms such as the blue mussel adhere to and grow profusely in the hollow cavity of the reef. This in turn attracts other forms of marine life from striped bass to harbor porpoises.

The mission of Breakwaters Intemational is to research, develop, market and construct Beachsaver Reef shoreline erosion control systems. The management of Breakwaters has over 15 years experience in developing and testing precast erosion control products including both emergent breakwaters, and submerged erosion control reefs. The company's first emergent breakwater, a relatively simple four foot high precast structure, was installed in New York in 1984 and is still functioning to protect a shore community. Since then the company has enhanced the design using the laboratories at the Universltes of Delaware and the Stevens Institute of Technology to imprdve the stabifity and energy absorption functions of the reef. In 1993-1994, the State of New Jersey and four shore municipalities installed three of the latest design of submerged Beachsaver Reefs. These projects are located at the juncture of Belmar and Spring Lake, Avalon, and Cape May Point, N.J. For two years the Stevens Institute of Technology acted as an independent monitoring agent for the State of New Jersey on these projects, which have each yielded positive results in Hmiting shorefine erosion. Other Beachsaver Reef projects are now being developed in New Jersey and other locations worldwide. Breakwaters International was incorporated in the United States in 1989 as a spin-off from Creter Concrete Products. The original parent company, established in 1918, has precast concrete manufacturing plants in New Jersey and New York with over 70 full time employees. This company has succesfully completed major projects in the heavy construction and prefabrication industry including projects for the City of New York, the State of New York, the State of New Jersey, and multi- million dollar contracts for the United States Government. ~ J IUU .i UU J~~est:~'Iii"'" ¡. ~ - LL n~ Richard E.

Ero$lon New Jersey Pilat The latest design of Beachsaver, Reef Program developed for submergence near shore, was first tested in the wave tank at the Stevens Institute of Technology in 1992. Three reefs were placed off the New Jersey coast as part of the New Jersey Pilot Reef Program in 1993 and 1994. The following findings from the two year monitoring study of those reefs are taken from a paper entitled, "The Use of Artificial Reefs in Erosion Control: Results of the New Jersey Pilot Reef Project", prepared for the State of New Jersey by Dr. Michael Bruno and staff at the Davidson Laboratory of the Stevens Institute of Technology.

A 900 foot length reef, comprised of ~ .~'......rl"""" two sections between three stone -"--~......."",--~" ~,-"',....- , groins, was constructed in May of 1994. This approach formed two protected groin cells. The reef, located on the southemmost point of New Jersey, is shore parallel, facing south, where the Delaware Bay converges with the Atlantic Ocean in an area of ,¿iNJ..:: jZ¡::fi :~'.~'~'X':: ~, strong cross-currents. ,; '." The top of the reef was placed between 0.5 and -2.0 ft. MLW. This was the shallowest placement in the New Jersey Pilot Reef Program. No sand nourishment was placed at the time of reef construction. H-º!!H~ \..r Comparison of beach profile lines taken in May 1994 to those of December 1995 indicate that the beach experienced significant accretion in the period after the reef was installed. During this period, average accretion rates of 9 yd3/ft. were measured in the eastern cell and 2.8 yd3/ft. in the western cell. In summary, the study concluded that the Beachsaver reef is effective In reducing incident wave energy and off shore sand losses during extreme events. The reefs effectiveness is strongly dependent on the structure maintaining a high profile in the water column. No evidence of adverse impacts on adjacent beaches were observed and the structure does not impede near shore water circulation. ..... .AKiI8I1' In Avalon, New Jersey, a reef constructed from . ,."

The southern end ofthe reef is open, notable as the only condition of this kind in all three projects. The top elevation of the reef at construction varied from -6.5 to -8.5 MLW. This was the deepest placement. A sand nourishment project accompanied the reef installation and extended several blocks beyond its location. Contour plots and beach profiles conducted by Stevens indicate that the renourished Avalon shoreUne had retumed to its pre- construction May, 1993 condition by May, 1995, with the exception of the northernmost 500 feet of reef-protected area. Comparing the September, 1993 and November, 1994 profiles, the unprotected region south of the reef averaged erosion of 72 cubic yards per alongside foot, the area landward of the southern (open) end of the reef averaged erosion of 62 cy3/ft, and the area landward of the northern 500 ft. of the reef averaged 40 yd3lft. These numbers suggest that the northem (closed) portion of the reef isolated the beach face from inlet currents and lessened the rate of sand loss to the inlet, whereas the southern (open) portion has had a relatively minor impact. ~ B....I..ma.......r/.~.....ri...I.. .¡La..~4. .'

It was situated between the oceanward ends of two stone groins, forming a closed cell. However, the downdrift or northern groin was notched, allowing for flows out of the cell at the higher tides, while the southem groin was not notched. The top elevation of the reef varied at construction from -2.3 to -3.8 MLW (see photo). The sand nourishment project was trucked in concurrently. ~ The Stevens report notes that the beach landward of the reef has retained the volume of material placed in the August, 1994 nourishment, although much of the sand has been redistributed to a near shore bar. The redistribution was somewhat expected, since the site regularly experiences among the most severe wave action in the state. The report also notes positively that the reef has not interfered with the barJberm development, but has retained the sand in the nearshore area. http://www.beachsaver.com/reef4.html .rage ¿ or .j 04/02/2004 , . . ,. \ . . .

OLD BUSINESS Jerry Kuklinski stated that he was concerned that the height limitation was not passed, He also asked if there had been progress regarding the definition of limited cargo, '-' Heather Young stated that she and Ray Wazny met individually with the Commissioners, and the Commissioners did not support amending the existing Master Plan, She stated County staff recommended against changing the Master Plan based on the review done by Growth Management. Heather suggested that if anyone would be interested in pursuing the issue further, they should schedule meetings with the Commissioners, A portion of the April 20, 2004 Board of County Commission meeting was played to show the Committee the opinions of the Commissioners regarding Resolution No. 04-016, which would have established a height limitation for outside storage of intermodal containers. Mary Chapman stated that on May 4th, the second Public Hearing, the Board approved staff recommendation to not adopt the proposed height limitation Resolution No. 04-016, Howard Conklin stated that the Fort Pierce Port is controlled by the City height limitation Ordinance, which will prevent stacking at the Port. He stated that the rest of the County currently wouldn't be controlled. Bob Bangert asked if anyone on the Committee had been informed of an Environmental Impact Study on the Harbor Isle Development culvert that runs under the beach road. He explained that the culvert was created to keep water flowing in the Development's man-made marina basin by connecting it to the inlet channel. He stated that this culvert would change the circulation in the Indian River. ~ \." Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee May 13, 2004 Page 3 Rick McMillen stated that the culvert was permitted through South Florida Water Management District. He stated that he believes the Water Management District and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) required the Development to create the culvert. Mr. McMillen stated that the Developer did not propose the culvert project. He stated that he didn't believe that the project was studied. Howard Conklin suggested that the Committee should request that the DEP study or sign off on the project. Mary Chapman stated that in an interview with Don Root, the Executive Director of the Economic Development Council, Mr, Bell said that if he did not receive support from St. Lucie County regarding his 15 acres, he felt no obligation to cooperate with the County, Ms. Chapman stated that Mr, Bell had stated that foreign companies were pouring in large amounts of money to see that this community or area does not benefit from cargo, She stated when Don Root asked if Mr. Bell intended to operate under the Master Plan, Mr. Bell stated that he did not agree with the Port Master Plan since it was made up as an instructive document. Howard Conklin stated that the ultimate buyer of the Port would govern what will to happen on a majority of the land. ~ Rick McMillen introduced himself as the project manager of the beach renourishment projects in Fort Pierce, the navigation channel, and the Intercoastal waterway. Howard Conklin asked Rick McMillen how long until Taylor Creek channel is lowered to benefit the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute research ships that are hitting bottom when entering and leaving the harbor. Rick McMillen stated that the Federal Government's funding could only participate in dredging the Intercoastal waterway. He stated that FIND has not asked his organization to focus on the problem area discussed by Mr, Conklin. Jeanne Hearn asked if PEP Reef was considered for the ongoing Fort Pierce beach erosion problem. Rick McMillen stated that the Army Corp considered and studied something similar to the PEP Reef, He stated that the submerged breakwater would have to be placed too close to shore to be effective, and the existing natural reef would have been damaged during construction, ~ Rick McMillen stated that the depth of the inlet directly affects the erosion on the adjacent shores. Mr, McMillen stated that there is no sand moving into the Fort Pierce Inlet to renourish the beach and even when T -Groins are placed to slow beach erosion, sand will have to be brought in so that the Inlet erosion doesn't spread down the beach. He stated that there has been discussion of installing an inlet bypassing system to take sand from the north side to the south. He stated that 150,000 cubic yards are needed per year to renourish the south side of the inlet, and only about 15,000 cubic yards of excess sand could be taken '-" Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee May 13, 2004 Page 4 from the north side, He stated that the environmental resource agencies would not allow a transfer station to the north because it would cause damage. Rick McMillen stated that he is working on a document to adjust the cost share for St. Lucie County to 25% of costs to renourish beaches by proving that the Federal Navigation project is impacting the shoreline. He stated that currently St. Lucie County's cost share is 52%. Rick McMillen stated that the US Army Corp is experiencing budget deficits and the first priority of maintaining inlets goes to the inlets that contribute to national defense, He said that second priorities are the inlets that bring in a lot of cargo. He stated that if there were any funds left, it would go to areas that are ready to develop their ports, He stated that St. Lucie County has not been heading in the direction of Port development, so the US Army Corp does a not see reason to invest in a dredging project. 5. NEW BUSINESS Jeanne Hearn stated that the Stuart Bridge project is considering having it's industrial site in St. Lucie County and Stuart is considering moving the materials north on roads, over South Bridge, down A 1 A to the bridge site. ~ Ray Wazny stated that he would contact George Denti before the next meeting for more information, 6.

Draft Ordinance No. 04-016 Heiaht L.imitation for o~,idf Storage of Intermodal Containers. Sunday April 18, I drove through a several block area of Riviera Beach which abuts the Port of Palm Beach. It is disheartening to view the devastation an active port has caused to homes and business in the area. U.S. 1 seems almcst ghostlike with more than a third of businesses closed, shuttered and many damaged. Nearby residences are similarly afflicted and show the same symptoms, Rusted, paint peeling, vandalized intennodal containers are stacked about in various lots. It is not pretty. I urge you to þ8SS 04-016 as drafted, and consistent with a Ft. Pierce Ordinance, but more importantly think about wt'18re and how these containers, if permitted, are to be sited, stored and possibly screened. Many of you were at the ceremony for the Taylor Creek Dredging Project lut Thursday and had the opportunity to see again the overall port site that could become one of the moat spectacular civic projects on the Florida coast. Put yourself in the '"V'MIon· seven generations out. What do you want to have at that site and how will you be remembered?

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE May 13, 2004 MEETING It was moved by Pieter Stryker and seconded by Jeanne Hearn to approve the minutes of the May 13, 2004 meeting, 4. OLD BUSINESS Ray Wazny stated that George Denti had given him a written report of the un-finalized route (attached) to be used to transfer bridge portions to Martin County, which would not pass over any of St. Lucie County's bridges or travel down A 1A in St. Lucie County. Mr. Wazny stated that any further updates would be distributed to the Committee, Howard Conklin stated that he would email George Denti to inform him of the Harbor Advisory's preference that the bridge portions are transported on the 1-95 route through St. Lucie County verses the A1A route. \r Ray Wazny stated that the berm construction at the dredge site is 50% complete. Mr, Wazny stated that the dredging should take about 30 days, Mr. Wazny stated that County staff is monitoring the dredging project. Mary Chapman played a tape of an interview of Lloyd Bell done by Don Root in which Mr. Bell's future plans for his port property were discussed, Pieter Stryker stated that the Fort Pierce Port has intermodal containers stacked 2-high, which breaks City code. Pieter Stryker made a motion to suggest to the County Commissioners that since they have decided to rely on City ordinance, the Commissioners should encourage the City of Fort Pierce to enforce the code ordinances that are being violated at the Port, Mary Chapman seconded the motion, which carried unanimously by voice vote. Howard Conklin stated that Lou Dobbs, CNN Financial, concluded from a national survey that U,S. citizens see ports as the most vulnerable front for terrorist attacks, Mr. Conklin stated that the Fort Pierce Port does not have the same strong security as public ports because it is privately owned, which makes the Fort Pierce Port an ideal "soft spot" for a terrorist attack. Mr. Conklin stated that because port security should be a concern of the County Commission, the County should condemn the perimeter and slips of Mr, Bell's 67 acres for the safety of the citizens, He stated that condemning the perimeter would give security control to St. Lucie County to prevent terrorism, and would make the port a public entity so that it would be under the tighter regulations of the Florida Port Authority and eligible for funding. '-" Pieter Stryker motioned to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners have a feasibility study done for the purpose of securing the Port against terrorism, including but not limited to condemnation of the perimeter of the Port for the purpose of establishing a security zone or private public security ;. ¡, ~ Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee June 10, 2004 Page 3 agreements.

GUEST SPEAKER - DEBBIE AGOSTINO, U.S. COAST GUARD ""', Debbie Agostino stated that he had some trouble finding regulations on entering private property, She stated that the Coast Guard definition of private property is a private residence and a private dock, not a waterfront facility that ships hazardous materials. She stated that a reason to be on a private property would be if a boat had sunk or is leaking hazardous material. She stated that in either of these cases, she would enter the property to secure the problem. She stated that the U,S. Coast Guard has the right to enter private waterfront property that ships hazardous materials when necessary, because the Coast Guard regulates what they do and ship to and from the property, She stated that the Coast Guard regulates the vessels and the facility. She defined and dangerous goods that the Coast Guard regulates including Apple Juice, fuel, Coca Cola, flammable liquids. She stated that the Port of Fort Pierce ships particular hazards. She stated that her zone is Dry Tortugas, The Keys, and Cape Romano, up to Malabar and this area does not allow any certain dangerous cargos. She stated that dangerous cargos have to go to Jacksonville Capital Port Zone. She stated that the dangerous cargos can come in on a vessel, but cannot be moved off of the vessel. She at the Indian River Terminal and the Fort Pierce Port were allowed to have cargos of particular hazards because if there were any type of terrorist act or explosion, the damage would be very minute and would not harm the areas around it. She stated that the Terminal and the Port have warning alarms and lights that can be seen or heard for one mile. Debbie Agostina stated that the Terminal and Port do have to meet the new Maritime Transportation Security Act Regulations. She stated that they don't have to meet Florida Statute 311.12, which is for regulated ports like the Port of Palm Beach. Debbie Agostino stated that Customs inspects containers for drugs and illegal shipments. She stated that Coast Guard inspects hazardous material containers to make sure the containers are sea-worthy and packaged correctly. Howard Conklin asked what kind of materials come out of the Port of Fort Pierce. \..r Debbie Agostino stated that 5.1 Oxidizers, a form of Ammonia Nitrate, a very insensitive product, flammables (no permit necessary for flammables for less than 100 tons), "- " .' '-' Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee July 8, 2004 Page 3 Debbie Agostino stated that she does not regulate the undeveloped land. The areas that she does regulate for safety and security are Bahamas Star, Movimarine, Coastal Agency and Stevadoring, Indian River Terminal, and Port Consolidiated. Mary Chapman asked what the procedure is for getting customs in place if there is a question about an individual vessel. Debbie Agostino stated that Customs do frequent the Fort Pierce area. Jeanne Hearn asked when and where the vessels are boarded. Debbie Agostino stated that a vessel that she inspected today was denied entry to the port because it failed to give proper notice of arrival (96 hours notice of arrival) before entering into the U.S. The Captain of the Port issued a denial of entry order. The vessel had to wait out in the ocean until they made the proper notification, When the vessel came into port they presented an approval letter that stated that they had an approved security plan on board, which was approved by the Coast Guard at the Marine Safety Center. The Captain of the Port then issued an order to the vessel stating that they could not leave port until the Port State Control Team can inspect the vessel for the new security regulations, '-" Debbie Agostino stated that the new regulations require tight security of entrance to the vessel, that everyone on the ship know who they are calling, procedures and frequency codes, and that everyone has been trained on security. Debbie Agostino stated that she doesn't believe that the crewmembers are filtering into the community. She stated that she has never read a report of a crewmember abandoning a vessel in Fort Pierce, Debbie Agostino stated that ballast water has to be dumped outside of 20 miles of the coast and then the vessel has to refill. 5. OLD BUSINESS Jeanne Hearn presented two videotapes of the two public hearings at the Board of County Commission meeting when the recommendation of approval of an intermodal container stacking height ordinance was discussed. Jerry Kuklinski stated that he feels that the height restriction is necessary for the unincorporated areas of the County. 6. NEW BUSINESS ~ Pieter Styker stated that he noticed a boat stacking operation at the port. He stated that it is important to investigate because if boats can be stacked, containers could be stacked. ,~ ~ ~ \..- , .... Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee July 8, 2004 Page 4 7.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE July 8, 2004 MEETING Pieter Stryker moved and Mary Chapman seconded the motion to approve the minutes of July 8, 2004, 4. OLD BUSINESS Introductions were made throughout the group, Mayor Bob Benton stated that in the eyes of the City Commission, they approved a one story, 65 foot building, which is not what was built. Mr, Benton stated that there was a different set of plans turned into the building department compared to what the commission approved. Mr, Benton stated that the commission thinks that the building should come down. He stated that the commission expected a structure like Taylor Creek Marina, that a building should have 4 sides, and that he can't imagine the current structure withstanding 140 mph winds. He stated that there is a stop work order on the project, and that lawyers are involved. He stated that if the commission would not have approve the standing structure if it would have been brought before the commission, A citizen stated that although the commission did not approve the site plan that matches what was built, the city building department did approve the plans. '-" Mayor Bob Benton stated that the southern structure is another part of the project, but the city has not allowed it to be finished, Mayor Benton stated that he and city code enforcement are aware of the container stacking and that he believes that the special master will have to take action soon. He stated that the code violation has to go through the process. Mr. Benton stated that citizens can call local officials to encourage them to back up the ordinance, which could help the process move quickly. Mayor Bob Benton stated that he is concerned that Mr. Bell has applied for a submerged land lease saying that business will be done on the property, but no buildings will be built. Mr, Benton stated that stacking over 15 feet high violates city code. Mr, Benton stated that the city has already asked for the containers to be lowered and the request was refused. Jack Cahill asked the Mayor to advise the citizens when the special master would confront the issues. Mayor Bob Benton stated that the City needs the back-up of the citizens. Bob Bangert stated that he has contacted Dave Holstead, Florida chief of homeland security, to inform him of the lack of security at the port and at the proposed A TV Park. \..r Howard Conklin stated that the group had made a previous recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to establish, through condemnation or other means, a security zone around the perimeter of the area in the port from South Bridge to North Bridge (Mr, Bell's property). He stated that the commissioners were against the recommendation. He stated that for now the law enforcement is prohibited to enter the property without a warrant. ~ Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee August12,2004 Page 3 Eddie Becht stated that it would be a better idea to have the law enforcement approach Mr. Bell. He stated that if the sheriff thinks it's necessary, he could request that Mr. Bell give written permission to allow authorities on the property without a warrant. Mr, Becht stated that if security is the issue, he is more concerned about the inlet and the beaches, He recommended that law enforcement and homeland security be invited to a meeting to discuss what action they think is necessary. It was decided that Sheriff Mascara, Customs, the city police chiefs, the Homeland Security Group, Agricultural and Consumer Services Inspectors should be invited to the next meeting to have a chance to talk, coordinate efforts, and give advice to the group, Jeanne Hearn suggested that a letter of invitation be sent explaining exactly what the committee wants to discuss, Mark Youmans, Journer & Associates, asked to whom Mr, Bell should send the letter of permission to enter the property. 6. NEW BUSINESS Mayor Bob Benton stated that he received a submerged land lease application for the land where the Marcona property used to be submitted by Lloyd Bell and Michael Gravlin, He stated that the application stated that the submerged lands shall be used for loading and unloading of commercial goods utilizing the existing shoreline configuration with no structures being constructed east of the high waterline, \.. Mark Youmans stated that when the submerged land lease application was drafted it was only sent to the DEP submerged land section to review; they don't have any jurisdiction outside of wetland or high water, He stated that the application wasn't for a site plan or building plan, and it didn't address any of the uplands other that for loading and unloading, He stated that he doesn't know the future plans for the land, but there won't be any additional docks built. Eddie Becht asked if there is a conditional use for the land. Mark Youmans stated that there are structures there now that have been "grandfathered in", He stated that he doesn't know of a conditional use for the land, Howard Conklin urged the County Attorney's office to look at the application and make sure that it coincides with St. Lucie County's master plan. Doug Coward stated that the County Attorney's office has begun the process and he suggested that the consultant inform the local governments of any permitting or any type of waiver of permitting as a courtesy. He stated that this project is very important to the community and the local governments, Mark Youmans stated that the DEP immediately sends the application after it is submitted to everyone around the county, Gail Kavanagh asked Doug Coward if he wanted the committee to take a position or make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners, \... Eddie Becht motioned that a letter be sent to the commission and the City of Fort Pierce asking them to get involved in following the application for submerged land lease. The motion was seconded by Pieter Stryker. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote, ~ Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee August 12, 2004 Page 4 ~ Jeanne Hearn stated that Commissioner Coward is correct. She stated that Dana Small, DEP, had informed her that two organization review the information before it is released to the public and the adjoining property owners. Mayor Bob Benton stated that he had spoken with Dana Smalls on another issue and he was informed that if he wanted to be noticed he would have to write a letter that would be kept on file for a couple of years. Mark Youman stated that whoever wants to be noticed on any projects coming up, they could give him their business card and he will make sure that they are informed. Jeanne Hearn stated that she was unable to find information on Fort Pierce Waterfront Terminals, LLC. or the organization on the check; she suggested that the county investigate the two compan ies. Bob Benton stated that the city doesn't have occupational licenses for these organizations to his knowledge, Mark Youman stated that he thinks only oragonite will be moved, Mr, Youman stated that Mr. Bell is working with the air program with the DEP and following all of the DEP's recommendations, Bob Benton stated that no business will be done on open land in Fort Pierce. ""' Charles Grande stated that both Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County specifically state in the Port Master Plan that the land that Mr. Bell is requesting a submerged land lease for cannot be used for commerce, Mr. Grande asked what the committee and County will do if the application is approved, He stated that since the BOCC sits as the Port Authority, he thinks they should proactively notify the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) that this directly relates to this situation of the comprehensive plan and that it is inconsistent with the plan. Doug Coward stated that in other situations the DCA reviews the state comprehensive plan, asks the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to provide comments about consistency with the regional comprehensive plan, and then they contact local governments to give comments regarding consistency with their local comprehensive plans. Mark Youmans verified that normally the DCA reviews and approves the application. Jeanne Hearn asked the County to contact the DCA and comment. Mark Youmans stated that Dana Small and John Mintnick from the DEP worked on this property, A citizen stated that the application states "please identify related enforcement actions". He stated that this enforcement action is clearly related and the application was copied to the DCA without this information, He stated that he feels the application should be filled out correctly. '-' Mark Youmans stated that when the application was copied to the DCA, the reviewing parties already knew the information because they have been working closely with this property, He stated that the information is on the database and it would link together. , .. .

OLD BUSINESS Mary Chapman said that she was informed that there was a move to abolish FPHAC along with 5 other committees. She said that 3 of the committees on the list were no longer useful. She said that reason they said they wanted FPHAC to stop meeting was because there was nothing happening at the port. She said that she was told by Doug Coward and Doug Anderson that port security was outside of the committee's mandate. Jeanne Hearn said that erosion does affect inlands. Mary Chapman said that item 3 in their mandate was port security, and if that isn't an issue, she doesn't know what is, Jeanne Hearn said the committee bought time; the committee was not abolished. Mary Chapman said that everyone except Frannie voted to continue the committee and that it be reconsidered at a later date. Mary Chapman said that port security is clearly within the committee's mandate and she didn't think the board would abolish the group any time soon. Ray Wazny said that he thought the board direction was, front a staff point-of-view, was to re-agenda this item in January, He said he felt the board didn't want to make a decision before the new board members took office; they wanted the new board to decide. He suggested that the committee revise the Resolution that created the board. ~ Mary Chapman said that the Resolution lists port security and water quality for the Indian River Lagoon, '-' '-' '-' Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee November 19, 2004 Page 3 Jeanne Hearn said that she feels that this committee should be one of the most important committees, She said the wide spectrum of members that work well together makes it important in working on the issues. She said that the committee members have done an outstanding job researching for the busy commissioners. She said that she would like to see the commission appoint someone similar to the Homeowner's set-up to head the committee and have that person attend to keep the group in control if they have overstepped the boundaries, She said that she sees no issues that the group has addressed that have overstepped their boundaries; she suggested that the Board increase the group's capability since there are a wide variety of community representatives. Eddie Becht asked Mr. Wazny if there is any other board with the same objectives of the FPHAC, Mr. Wazny said there is no other board that focuses specifically on unincorporated issues. Jeanne Hearn said she would understand if the group had trouble holding meetings. She said that they always have a quorum. She said she felt insulted for the members of the committee. Jeanne Hearn said that it really works well to have a commission heading the board like the Homeowner's Association, She said that at times when recommendations are brought back to the board, it takes a while and they aren't exactly as the members portrayed. She said the commissioner would have the responsibility to relay the information of the meeting, Howard Conklin said that he is also the Chairman of the St. Lucie Council of the Chamber of Commerce, and his two hats were valuable in sharing information with the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, which holds a seat on the Chamber board. Pieter Stryker asked Mr, Wazny what elements of workload the committee placed on the County. He asked if the workload was part of the issue. Ray Wazny said that every committee creates a workload on County staff, but he thought from the direction he received from the Board was policy issues. He said that it would be worthwhile to go through the Resolution that created the Committee. He said when you think back to when the Committee was created, the County had Taylor Creek Dredging, which was controversial with perspective to the environmental issues, He said that when the Harbor Advisory Committee was formed the project was in the beginning stages, and the Board looked to this committee to make recommendations for a specific project including environmental considerations, Mr. Wazny read through the resolution. He suggested that the committee should consider expanding or contracting the resolution to better specify the purpose of the committee. He said that the only thing that raised concern to him was the policy issue, He said that reflecting on other boards, for example the Planning & Zoning Board has specific projects/developments that come in. That board reviews that project for sufficiency, and then they vote to make a recommendation to approve/deny the specific project. He speculated that the board might view this committee as a project-oriented committee as opposed to getting into broader issues. He said that the Board decided at the last meeting to let the new board look at the charter and consider making changes. \..r Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee November 19, 2004 Page 4 Pieter Stryker said that one thing not spelled out in the resolution was the economic development of the port, He said that he was under the impression that he was partly picked for this reason, Ray Wazny said that in respect to Mr, Bell, that was a major county project and would have been a perfect context for recommendation from this board, He said in the context of economic development, a broad term, but as related to a specific project, it is something that would be related to this committee. Ed Becht said that he would like to invite the county commissioners to attend the meeting. He said that personally, he has benefited from the speakers and information at the meetings, He said that the information has helped him as a city commissioner. He said that both the City of Fort Pierce and the County are trying to enter into a Joint Planning Agreement (JPA) and he said that this committee with a Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce Commissioner is a joint oversight committee for the harbor unlike any other, He said that if the County were included, they would have a small Joint Planning Committee for Harbor issues. He said that he would be disappointed if the County Commissioner disbanded the group; he would hope that they would do a 180 and take an active role. ~ Chris Cooper suggested that the chair hold a term of 3 months. He said that he is concerned that the committee has been told that they are out stepping their bounds. He said that everything they have tackled has been well within the bounds of the committee. He suggested that a letter be sent defending the committee. He said that County participation would be beneficial. Mary Chapman suggested that each member try to redraft the charter, and present it to the full Board. Jeanne Hearn said that they need to know if they are still going to be a group. She said they need to find out if the Board wants the committee and what exactly they want. Mary Chapman said that the only additional burden that she sees on staff is that Heather Young was asked to draft an Ordinance on Height Limitations, Jeanne Hearn said she only suggested that a commissioner sit as chair so that they become involved. She said that she feels that the committee has taken the burden off of the commissioners by having presentations/and public speakers at these meetings instead of eating up public comment. She said that she knows of one recent instance when the committee has been beneficial, the application for a submerged land lease submitted by Lloyd Bell. She said that the commissioners can't do it all. Mary Chapman said that it was one of 50 items on the Consent Agenda, and that if the members would not have realized what it was about the committee would have been dead. Ed Becht suggested that members that have relationships with commissioners speak to them to better understand the status of the committee. \.., Howard Conklin said that the recommendation was to defer meetings until there is activity in the port. He said that he feels that by the time the committee would reconvene, it would be too late. \... Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee November 19, 2004 Page 5 Pieter Stryker said that the County Commissioner would be more susceptible to listening to the committee's plea if it were more involved by the elected officials on this board. Ed Becht said that this board accomplishes the agreement that is being laid out in the JPA. He said that if the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is serious about a JPA, they have already created something here. He said that one thing they have to keep in mind is that the BOCC created the committee so they could uncreate it. Jeanne Hearn said that she was most disappointed that the committee was not informed ahead of time, She said that the item was so benign on the Consent Agenda. Gail Kavanagh suggested that the committee draft up a soft letter explaining how the committee is beneficial. Gail Kavanagh asked if anyone would like to make a motion, The members decided to wait until the next meeting to make a motion. ~ Ed Becht motioned and Chris Cooper seconded the motion that Mary Chapman send a letter to the Board of County Commissioners asking them to appoint one of their members to serve with the committee beginning on the December meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Christopher S. Harvey, U,S. Customs Special Agent, said that they used to be U.S. Customs, now they are Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He said that he did speak to the Inspector side of the Department, which is confusing after the changes implemented through the Department of Homeland Security, He said that the Inspectors are in charge of inspecting vessels that come into the port, He said that if they come upon something criminal the Immigration side investigates. Howard Conklin asked for more explanation on the responsibilities of the two agencies. Mr, Harvey said that they have a criminal investigation office in Fort Pierce. This office investigates importation or exportation, fraud, smuggling of any type, enforce federal crimes against children, do strategic investigation, which are importation/exportations of technology or arms, He said that now they also investigate immigration law, the actual organizations that smuggle human beings, He said that right now there is no plan to relocate the customs office to the port area, Chris Cooper asked what causes his organization to get involved, are there spot inspection or is it complaint driven and what authority would they have on private property, \..r Mr, Harvey said they get involved when citizens, inspectors, or law enforcement call them and it falls into an area that they investigate, He said that anything coming into the county no matter what its destination, they have jurisdiction over it. He said that a ship coming into the port has to follow rules like calling ahead to the inspections people and report information of their ship. He said that no warrant is necessary to enter private property. He said that law enforcement; in general, needs a warrant to enter buildings, '--' Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee November 19, 2004 Page 6 but property may be entered to enforce federal customs laws, He said that anything that has come over the border can be inspected without a warrant. Mary Chapman asked what percentage of containers are inspected, Mr. Harvey said that a large percentage are not inspected. He said that there is a profiling and spot check system, He said that it is impossible to have the manpower to inspect all of the container brought into the country. Jeanne Hearn said that she has heard a lot about the smaller ports having the larger potential for having undercover problems because there is lighter security. She asked if that is true. Mr. Harvey said that the ships that come into the Fort Piece Port have a higher percentage of being searched versus larger ports. He said that there are inspection teams that search all containers. He said that the odds are that it is probably easier to smuggle narcotics into a smaller port because there is less law enforcement on the waters. He said that he wouldn't agree with the statement that we are less secure. He said that although there is a system of courtesy customs, they do investigate the history of the ship, everyone on board the ship, and many other things to determine whether it should be inspected further, '--' Herbert W. Straley, Special Investigator, Domestic Security Coordinator for the Port St. Lucie Police Department introduced himself to the group. Ed Becht suggested that an office be made available to the Department of Homeland Security to tocate the inspectors and immigration officers closer to the Port area, Ken Shields, on behalf of Fort Pierce, Inc. and the Indian River Terminal Company, represented himself to answer any question regarding the port. Jerry Kuklinski asked Mr, Shields if policy allows crew members to leave ship when they come to port. Mr, Shields said that typically the foreign nationals that arrive on ship have a Seaman's Visa, He said that they are allowed a certain amount of time to leave vessel and go to shore. He said that when the vessel departs, the crewman does have to be on that vessel. He said that the agency of the vessel polices the crewmen. He said that each vessel has a carrier bond, Mr, Harvey said that the inspectors could tell someone that they can't come off of the ship even if they have a Visa, Mr, Shields said that the majority of the ships come from the Bahamas. '-' Mr, Straley explained that the Special Investigations Unit established his position after 911, He said that after 911, the Governor established Regional Domestic Security Task Force Regions throughout the state of Florida. He said that there are 7 regions in Florida and our region is Region #5 headquartered in Orlando, He said that the sheriff of each county is the head of the Domestic Security Task Force; therefore Sheriff Mascara is the head of overall direction of domestic security within St. Lucie County. He said that all City, State and Federal agencies participate at a county level. \..- Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee November 19, 2004 Page 7 Ed Becht said that the committee was interested to know if the agencies are working together and if any of the agencies have a recommendations to take to the County Commissioners for changes that might make it easier, Mr. Shields said that all of the entities at the Port of Fort Pierce are ISPS Compliant; they have federally approved port security plans, They comply with all regulations mandated since 911, He said that all vessels that enter the port are required to be ISPS Compliant; they have to have valid ship security certificate that is checked out by the Coast Guard before entry, He said that as part of their Federal Security Plan they have a task force with a liaison from each enforcement agency. They work together and have done tests. Mr, Straley encourages the group to involve the Sheriff's Office since they regulate the port area. Pieter Stryker suggested that Ed Becht drop a note to the Commissioners to inform them of the information given by Mr. Shields. Jeanne Hearn asked Mr. Shields if a deputy is welcome to come in or around the port area without reason. Mr. Shields said that they are welcome and they do, \... Chris Cooper thanked the enforcement officers for coming and for their information. He asked Mr. Straley how often he communicates with Captain Monahan. Mr. Straley said that he spoke to him earlier in the week. He said that he speaks with the FBI, and local law enforcement agencies. Ray Wazny said that the application submitted by Mr, Bell expired in late November and if Mr, Bell takes no action to answer the concerns of the DEP, the permit will be denied and sent back to Mr. Bell. Jeanne Hearn said that the City and County did an excellent job reacting to the issue. 7. ADJUORNMENT The meeting adjourned at 4:30 p,m.

Pierce, FI 34982 c_ "_,~",_,_,,,,_.H~·'"'-·~· November 23, 2004 Dear Madame Chair and Commissioners: On behalf of the Harbor Advisory Committee, I have been asked as their new chairperson to communicate with you on several issues. This committee by ordinance was set up in 1999 with four stated goals: (1) To review and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on Harbor related projects, (2) To identify and make recommendations on Federal and State Harbor project grants. (3) To continually review Harbor operations, policies and safety. (4) To review environmental issues affecting the Indian River Lagoon and make recommendations to protect its biodiversity. ~ The committee currently has an excellent cross-section of participants, a PSL City Councilman, a Ft. Pierce City Commissioner, St. Lucie Village Mayor, three attorneys and a financial advisor. It has been stated more than once that it is rare for all these factions to meet on an amicable basis. The members all have diverse constituencies which provide a unique melting pot of St. Lucie County interests and the members believe they are making a meaningful contribution to the community. Since I have been involved, monthly meetings have occurred on schedule and there has always been a quorum. In the interests of better understanding of the achievements and potential of this body we would like to invite a commissioner attend our meeting, perhaps on a rotating three month basis. The meetings take place on the third Thursday of each month in Conference Room #3, begin at 3PM and rarely run more than an hour and a half. We sincerely hope that you will take this under consideration. Best regards, '-' ---y-ÞL.é'c.--- (-/ ....-7-rrr~""~ Mary A. Chapman, J.D.

Individual comments will be limited in time to five minutes. (d) Consent Agenda This will consist of routine or "housekeeping" items and it is generally voted upon as a block. If an individual board member wishes additional consideration of an item, he or she may ask that the item be removed from the consent agenda and be considered separately. Then the balance of the consent agenda may be voted upon, and the removed item may be discussed. (This format obviously can save an enormous amount of time and probably will not apply to this group, at least initially.) (d) Old business (e) New Business During this part of the meeting, Board members may bring up unscheduled items. (f) Adjournment (2) Meeting Protocol The chair shall be the individual authorized to recognize a speaker. When you wish to be recognized, ask or raise your hand, but do not begin speaking prior to being recognized; recognition can be as simple as a definite nod of the head. You may be limited to a certain number of minutes, at the discretion of the chairperson. When your time is up, the chair will so indicate. If more than one person then seeks to be recognized, the chair shall attempt to call upon someone with a view contrary to that of the original speaker. In no event should a recognized speaker be interrupted except by the chair regarding the time limitation or to ensure a more orderly debate. When several viewpoints have been voiced, the chair may call for a motion and a second followed by a vote. Courtesy is mandatory towards your fellow board members. We are subject to the Florida Sunshine Laws, which prohibit voting Board members from discussing Board business in any venue other than these meetings. Copies of these rules will be provided. \... ~ SUMMARY OF FORT PIERCE HARBOR ADVISORY (FPHAC) COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS December 13, 2002 FPHAC VOTE BOARD ACTION Motion made to consider Passed - Unanimous None container stacking height restriction, January 23, 2003 FPHAC VOTE BOARD ACTION Motion made to create a MSTU Passed - Unanimous None to assist paying for Taylor Creek Dredging.

Keeping you informed means giving you honest updates whether the news is good or disappointing. A few weeks ago, I wrote to you about an anticipated signing of a deal to sell the 52-acre Port property at the beginning of February, 2004. I have the disappointing duty to inform you that this target deadline has come and gone. The good news, however, is that interest in the 52-acre Port area remains strong, with new groups contacting us on a nearly weekly basis. While the price is set, we feel we have an obligation to receive the interested parties and assess which group might be a best fit for the community and for us. Please know that each day that passes costs us a significant amount of money in pure holding costs (and opportunity costs) and we are not anxious to delay the choice any more than common sense would dictate. I thank you again for your continued patience and guidance in this very complex transaction. While I intend to continue to keep you informed - in writing - of any significant steps completed, please feel tree to contact me at any time for updated information on the Port sale. Sincerely yours, ~~ Benji Brumberg 706-442-2920 Cell 706-569-8746 Home Ga 954-581-8909 Home FI \....- IÐ r©ŒO~,:ì~ ,~1 MAR:O 3 !~i co. ADMIN.

They're Sea W olf Marine Patrols, m7m- : bers of a new waterborne counterterronsm ~. patrol pilot program recently initiated by port officials. . Sea W olf Security Group sends patrolmen : : to cruise around the port in "purpose- , 'designed and built" vessels. The boats C3Il 1 travel up to 80 miles an hour and have stainless-steel plates on their bottoms so they C3Il be anchored on the beach, They'll help to , collect possible teITOriS.t intelligence for ~ocal 'law enforcement agenCIes and serve as VISUal and physical deterrents for criminals. SeaSecure a Fort Lauderdale-based company that 'was recently appointed as ~e maritime security adviser for the state, will serve as the project manager. "I11e purpose of deterrenc.e is to creat~ ~ atmosphere'wher~ the terron~t or the ~l- nal has to think twlce whether It'S worthwhile ~. '-' for him to take a certain action," said Sea· Secure spokesman Ron Thomason. "We know that terrorists and criminals, at times, will 0 bserve the activity at a port to determine what is the best opportunity to penetrate the facility. When they see the increased activity, they don't have a clue what the window of opportunity is so they're more likely to move to a different port" Sea Wolf officials would not say what au- thoritative rights the patrol crews have, nor if they carry :firearms. Neither Port of Palm , Beach nor Sea Wolf officials would say how much the program costs or how long it will run, citing security concerns. There is no money available in the port's budget for the program, and port officials are seeking mon- ey from the federal government, said Lori Baer, the port's deputy director. The port re- ceives $350,000 from the federal government and $2 million from the state for security. This is the first program to specifically tackle requirements named in the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, Thoma- son said. ~ tanya_wragg@pbpost,com - ~ ~ \..,: COUNTY ADMINISTRATION MEMORANDUM TO: The Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee it~ FROM: Ray Wazny, Assistant County Administrator DATE: March 30, 2004 RE: April 8, 2004 Meeting Rich McMillen, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will attend the April 8, 2004 Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee meeting.

From: To: Date: Subject: Steve Fousek Cruz, Jennifer Mon, Apr 5, 2004 1 :53 PM Re: FORT PIERCE HARBOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE Jennifer, State funds are available to city, county, state and federal agencies to control exotics on public conservation lands, The Department of Environmental Protection identifies conservation lands as those defined as 1) conservation easements dedicated in perpetuity (such as the water management district) or ' 2) lands defined as conservation in the Florida Conservation Lands manual published by Florida Natural Areas Inventory. Developed city, county or state parks may be funded as long as those treated areas are never built upon. Private lands do not qualify. ~ Grant applications were due March 19th this year. These are competitive grants. All projects are scored with a set of criteria. The top projects are funded based on the funds that are available. We have been successful in obtaining grants to treat Australian Pines on John Brooks Park, and Blind Creek Park. We have also treated Iygodium at Indrio Savannahs and Bluefield. We have also treated guava and Ardisia at the Oxbow center and Scitturros island. In addition we have received funding to treat Surinam Cherry and Womans tongue at Walton Scrub. Once funds have been obtained, the landowner must keep the area exotic free...forever. (this comes at a great expense in time and material) Snook tag $$ are also available to treat exotics. Again, the funds are to be used in conservation areas, Mosquito control has used these funds in several areas. USFWS also has funds to treat exotics, especially near federally listed plants and animals...especially on the island.

I have the disappointing duty to inform you that this target deadline has come and gone. The good news, however, is that interest in the 52·acre Port area remains strong, with new groups contacting us on a nearly weetdy basis, While the price is set, we feel we have an obligation to receive the interested parties and assess which group might be a best fit for the community and for us. Plea.seknow that ~b day that passes costs us a significant amount of money in pure holding costs (and opportunity costs) and we are not: anxious to delay the choice any more than common sense would dictate. I thank you again for your continued. patience and guidance in this very complex transaction. While I intend to continue to keep you informed . in writing - of any significant !lteps completed, please feel free to contact me at any time for updated information on the Port sale. Sincerely youn, ~~( Benji Brumberg 706-442-2920 ("..-ell 706-569-8746 Home Ga 954-581-8909 Home Fl D\J]t(qrg.Q~7~ì " \ JI MAR n 3 ¡GU" !~ L_._----~ CO: ADMIN.

Doug Anderson Administrator St. Lucie County 2300 VlIginia Ave. Fort Pierce, FL 34982 ~r~ ~ ~ ~~ Apri116, 2004 RE: Pre-sale update letter Dear Doug: The race to sell the Port at Ft. Pierce is nearly over. It has been more of a marathon than the hoped for 40-yard dash. Nonetheless, from my view, a sale is in sight. But our signing away control of the Port property marks only the beginning of a long development process, not the end. As \vith any public-private partnership, cooperation, flexibility and mutual confidence are necessary for success. Therefore, I feel compelled to raise two issues that are of serious concern to me - issues that threaten the present atmosphere of good will and progress, 1. On April 20th, the issue of container heights will be raised. Let me be blunt and direct. Should unreasonable restrictions be imposed at this time, I predict serious consequences - such as doubling the area needed for cargo. I have seen an excellent tape of container ports gone a\"'1)' - (Galveston, Riviera Beacl\ for example.) We recognize and acknowledge that we have a responsibility to our community and to our neighbors to see that this type of abusive land utilization does not occur in Ft. Pierce, Since I have been affiliated with this project, we ~ have AL WAYS maintained a desire for a considerate "good neighbor policy". I expect the same from others. We believe environmental protection, aesthetics and econoTIÚc development can and "ill, if given the chance, work seallÙessly for the benefit of the Fort Pierce region. 2. My second concern involves pre-sale use issues. While we recognize and respect the county and city's authority and responsibilities, it is important that these authorities and responsibilities be used in a reasonable, fair and common sense way. For example, we have allowed the County to use our property for the dredging of Taylor Creek at no charge. When I raised the possibility of a county tax abatement for the time the county was using the property, I was rebuffed, Not fair, I thought, but I figured, let's just be a good neighbor and get along. Recently, the question of city use of the property has come up. Since I have known Mr. Bell, he has always offered the City the use of the property for their Marina project. The city has told me Mr. Bell had agreed to let them use the property but had refused to sign a document for pennission. My principle does not remember ever getting any such document. I asked to be sent a copy of the document weeks ago and I have still yet to see it. We are, of course, still \\illing to provide our property to the city at no cost. Despite our attempt at a good neighbor policy, it seems that every time we attempt to use the property in ways that have no substantial negative effects, (even uses that have a positive environmental purpose, such as facilitating the building of an artificial reef\vith boulders), both city and county staff seem eager to create methods of non-cooperation and ways to discredit us, Perhaps city staff is afraid that if Mr. Bell shows his good faith, governments, heaven forbid, might feel obliged to do the same. It would be of great help to the process if we would find an occasional helping hand rather than continuing slaps in the face. It is critical at this point to not allow irrational e:\'Uberance derail the train of progress. Should you \vish to discuss this letter of for an update on port progress, please do not hesitate to call upon me.

When they see the increased activity, they don't have a clue what the window of opportunity is so they're more likely to move to a different port" Sea W olf officials would not say what au- thoritative rights the patrol crews have, nor if they carry firearms, Neither Port of Palm 'Beach nor Sea W olf officials would say how much the program costs or how long it will run. citing security concerns. There is no money available in the port's budget for theoprogram, and port officials are seeking mon- ey from the federal government, said Lori Baer, the port's deputy director. The port re- ceives $350,000 from the federal government and $2 million from the state for security, This is the first program to specifically tackle requirements named in the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, Thoma- son said.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE May 13, 2004 MEETING It was moved by Pieter Stryker and seconded by Jeanne Hearn to approve the minutes of the May 13, 2004 meeting, 4. OLD BUSINESS Ray Wazny stated that George Denti had given him a written report of the un- finalized route (attached) to be used to transfer bridge portions to Martin County, which would not pass over any of St. Lucie County's bridges or travel down A1A in St. Lucie County, Mr. Wazny stated that any further updates would be distributed to the Committee. Howard Conklin stated that he would email George Denti to inform him of the Harbor Advisory's preference that the bridge portions are transported on the 1-95 route through St. Lucie County verses the A 1 A route. \..r Ray Wazny stated that the berm construction at the dredge site is 50% complete. Mr. Wazny stated that the dredging should take about 30 days. Mr. Wazny stated that County staff is monitoring the dredging project. Mary Chapman played a tape of an interview of Lloyd Bell done by Don Root in which Mr, Bell's future plans for his port property were discussed, Pieter Stryker stated that the Fort Pierce Port has intermodal containers stacked 2-high, which breaks City code, Pieter Stryker made a motion to suggest to the County Commissioners that since they have decided to rely on City ordinance, the Commissioners should encourage the City of Fort Pierce to enforce the code ordinances that are being violated at the Port. Mary Chapman seconded the motion, which carried unanimously by voice vote. Howard Conklin stated that Lou Dobbs, CNN Financial, concluded from a national survey that U,S, citizens see ports as the most vulnerable front for terrorist attacks. Mr. Conklin stated that the Fort Pierce Port does not have the same strong security as public ports because it is privately owned, which makes the Fort Pierce Port an ideal "soft spot" for a terrorist attack, Mr. Conklin stated .that because port security should be a concern of the County Commission, the County should condemn the perimeter and slips of Mr. Bell's 67 acres for the safety of the citizens. He stated that condemning the perimeter would give security control to St. Lucie County to prevent terrorism, and would make the port a public entity so that it would be under the tighter regulations of the Florida Port Authority and eligible for funding, '-' Pieter Stryker motioned to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners have a feasibility study done for the purpose of securing the Port against terrorism, including but not limited to condemnation of the perimeter of the Port for the purpose of establishing a security zone or private public security Fort Pierce Harbor Advisory Committee June 10, 2004 ~ Page 3 agreements.
