Dear Commissioner Hutchinson,
The St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners will vote on Tuesday,
September 26 to decide on the acceptance of $1,000,000 for the purchase of
another permanent conservation easement on the SandScrub property. This is
not a transfer of development rights, these houses will never be built anywhere.
This will add to the conservation easement recently completed on another 260
acres of SandScrub.
Approximately 68 acres of the property is farmed wetland pasture on hydric soils.
It is planted in hemarthria grass and is being grazed. There are 70 acres of
hydric hammock with mucky soils and Baygall community vegetation. These
areas will benefit wildlife by their proximity to Bluefield and other conservation
properties in the area by offering corridors of connected lands.
The St. Lucie County Land Acquisition Committee recently voted to support this
project. I hope that you will look favorably on it as well on Tuesday.
Sincerely,
(I"- a_,,

Dear Commissioner Hutchinson:

Co `
The Treasure Coast RC&D Council recently was able to partner with St. Lucie
County in the purchase of a conservation easement on 260 acres of the
SandScrub ranch adjacent to Bluefield in western St. Lucie County. On Tuesday,
September 26, 2006 the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners will
vote once again to accept another $1,000,000 from the Treasure Coast RC&D
for the purchase of an easement for an additional piece of the ranch.
The St. Lucie County Land Acquisition Committee recently met and supported
the easement. In addition to helping meet the goals of CERP, this easement
would greatly benefit wildlife with it's connect ability and its natural features.
Approximately 68 acres of the property is farmed wetland pasture on hydric soils.
There are 70 acres of hydric hammock with mucky soils and Baygall community
-----�cegetafion
I hope that you will vote favorably for this project that will eliminate these
development rights for the benefit of the citizens of St. Lucie County.

1. GROWTH MANAGEMENT/STRATEGY & SPECIAL PROJECTS
Consider Ordinance No. 06-031 adopting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to establish
the Rural Land Stewardship Area Overlay Zone- Consider staff recommendation to
approve with conditions, the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment through the
adoption of Ordinance No.06-031.
Mr. Brillhart made opening remarks.
Mr. Brillhart addressed the recommendation made by MSCW (Consultants) and his
memorandum dated September 6, 2006 to the Board of County Commissioners. These
items are attached.
Mr. Brillhart addressed two modifications made to policies 1.10 and 4.05.07.
Policy 1.10 (page 5) of the GOPs shall be modified to include the following language:
"The Sending Area Land Use Layer (RSLA Figure 4) represents potential uses allowed
within a Stewardship Sending Area but does not represent or guarantee an entitlement to
Specific uses. Specific uses of land are subject to review and approval by the Board of
County Commissioners".
Policy 4.05.07 (7) (page 15) of the LDRs under the section entitled "Sending Area Land
Use Layers to be Eliminated" shall be modified to include the following language:
" The Uses identified under RLSA Figure 4 represent potential allowable uses that must
be agreed to by the Board of County Commissioners in the Stewardship Sending Area
Application and/or the Stewardship Easement Agreement."
Com. Coward requested Mr. Brillhart highlight major issues raised in the three reviews
by the DCA, The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, The Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Mr. Brillhart advised the Board of the 9 issues identified by the three offices:
1. Rural/Transportation Design- under the statute it requires a transportation system be
put in place that can provide access, ingress/ egress to a rural land development, but it
must be based upon a rural design. There were concerns about having what we are
currently identifying as only two major access points into a town of this size. The
applicant has gone back and revised the policy 4.12 on this one.
2. This issue was raised by all the entities that reviewed it and this was an issue called,
Vision. The fact this was such anew pilot project that no one felt the Board of County
Commissioners had the opportunity to look at rural development and how this particular
project would impact the area west of the urban service boundary. The applicant went
back and added in Policy 1.21 within the goals ,objectives and policies to talk about this
specific issue.
Mr. Brillhart alluded to policy 1.20 where it stated the Rural Land Stewardship program
shall be limited to no more than 3 SRA applications of any one type. He stated Policy
1.21 to be very adequate and that policy 1.21 be added showing the Board would be
going through a Vision process after this particular pilot program, however, the issue is
still raised, does the Board feel good in principal in having only 3 SRA applications in
light of having the new policy 1.21 added to the goal
3. Size and sustainability. This issue was raised by the P & Z Commission concerned
that any type of new development within a receiving area may additionally prone
additional development in adjacent properties not yet in an application for stewardship
receiving area or proposed to be in a stewardship receiving area but in rural lands.
This particular issue was placed into a policy format and also in a table format.
4. Open space with the proposed receiving area. There was a concern about there not
being sufficient amount of parks and recreation and or open space provided within the
recommended stewardship receiving area. The applicant has gone back and taken some
language existing within the County's Land Development Code that specifies a minimum
of 5 acres per 1,000 population.
Com. Coward questioned the status of the open space/
Mr. Brillhart stated within the Land Development Code, the open space language is
provided both under the design requirements for a town and or a village and this
particular language was added under the design requirements. He believes it is 35%.
5. Utilities - DCA, County Staff and Planning and Zoning Commission raised this as an
important issue. The applicant has modified the goals, objectives and policies to include
modified language in policy 4.13 and this language was reviewed and agreed to by our
County Utilities Department.
6. Housing affordability was another issue raised all the parties, staff recommended the
applicant go back and add in a policy with some language within a policy regarding
workforce affordable housing and policy 4.21 was revised to specify a minimum of 8%
workforce affordable housing within a stewardship receiving area.
7. This concern was regarding staff review: They felt staff may have not had enough
time to be effectively prepared to provide a staff report for the Board of County
Commissioners consistent with a Planned Unit Development or other type of
development application set by the Land Development Code.
The applicant has modified in the red line version of the Land Development Code on
page 34 to include language regarding the Land Development Code section 11.0601.
Staff stated they would prefer to have the language reading, section 11 "as amended".
Com. Coward asked if staff s position is they intend to have development will pay for the
entire cost of the review.
Mr. Brillhart stated, yes.
8. Green building technologies - there is a new policy 4.25 . The applicant will have to
work with the County regarding the receiving area as the county adopts specific green
building technologies language within our Land Development Code.
9. This issue is within the staff report it gives them environmental management both with
the Comprehensive Plan and the Land Development Code. They have identified 4
specific areas that staff determined needs better clarification and these are noted in the
memorandum dated September 6, 2006 titled Environmental Management.
PA
Mr. Brillhart advised the Board Mr. Richard Unger MSCW was available for any
questions.
Mr. Cox, applicant addressed the Board and stated 8 of the 9 items were addressed prior
to the forecasted storm. They have currently worked through all nine issues.
Mr. Cox reviewed RLSA Figure 4 Rural Land Steward ship Area Overlay(Sending Area
Land Use Layer Matrix) . These are the current allowed uses.
He advised the Board they had agreed this morning with our Environmental Department
that Aquaculture is a broad term and is not currently defined . For consideration tonight
would be to take commercial aquaculture and move it to an Ag 1 use as opposed to an
AG 2.
He would like to have more discussion today on the policy that is proposed tonight would
say these are no longer allowed uses and permission would need to be granted to do what
is already being done. They are talking about uses that are allowed today that the family
would be removing to generate credits.
Com. Coward stated, " the concern Mr. Cox is talking about, removing the layers from
left to right and if you had a fairly pristine area and you were granted credits based on
that current value, and then you stripped away the first and second layer, so you are
removing the residential land use and the conditional use and you are then rewarded for
the current condition and the fact that you would not build houses there and then
afterwards you still have the ability to go ahead and mine that property, he believes this is
the concern the Environmental staff has identified. You are getting credits upfront but
you are leaving a potential future use that could actually undermine the integrity of that
resource."
Mr. Cox stated he understood the concern and this is not their intention, but felt there was
a better way to address this issue when they get into this discussion.
At this time the Clerk to the Board swore in all those on the applicants team and will
individually swear in each public speaker.
Mr. Ernie Bennett, South Florida Water Management District, West Palm Beach, Florida
addressed the Board in support of this issue. He stated with the Rural Land Stewardship
program, they believe it provides creative ways to generate revenues and in return
maintaining the eco-systems and provide open space. It also provides landowners to
receive incentives. He believes this program with others will help them move forward
with the Everglades restoration.
Com. Coward thanked Mr. Bennett for his comments. He stated the only thing he is
struggling with is how much do you need to give in order to get. They would all like to
preserve the Adams Ranch however, there has not been a lot of focus as to the
appropriate amount of incentives to give.
Mr. Arthur Apissomian, 2142 S.E. Morningside Blvd., addressed the Board quoted a
paragraph from the Cost of Community Services studies conducted after 20 years. He
stated in the paragraph it states, " Converting Agricultural Land to Residential Land Use
cannot be deemed as a way to balance local budgets." He asked the Board to devote
more study time and get the specific economics of this issue before making a decision.
Ms. Linda Cox, Chamber of Commerce read a letter in support of the issue.
Ms.Carol Brick, 5203 NW Downy Court, addressed the density on the Cloud Grove
property. It is proposed at a 465% increase the 3 to 1 multiplier may set a precedent. She
asked the Board to take more time to review and set up an new committee with public in-
put on this issue.
3
Mr. Bryce Babcock, 1522 N. Lawnwood Circle, Ft. Pierce, read a letter from Thomas A.
Babcock, MRA Realty where he is urging the Commission to abandon its effort to
impose the policies of the TVC on the RLS-LDR's and concurrently amend the TVC
LDR's to more closely follow the objectives and policies of the RLS-LDR's.
Mr. Jim Russakis, 8801 Indrio Road, addressed the Board in support of this issue.
Mr. Gregory Wilson, 1743 SW Import Drive, addressed the Board regarding the density
issue and the fact that there would possibly be 6,000 + students in the community and he
did not find any information on how they were going to nurture those 6,000 students to
become good citizens. He also asked if an environmental reviewed had been completed.
Mr. Leslie D. Alderman, Jr. 6118 Dear Run, representing Earthmark Family land
abutting the property known as Cloud Groves, addressed the Board and stated he is not
sure if this program is appropriate for his property but supports the concept.
Ms. Stacy Ranieri, 2062 SW Racquet Club Drive, Palm City, Florida a member of Family
Lands remembered, read a letter into the record. (This letter was not presented to the
secretary to be included as part of the record.) The letter was in favor of the program.
Mr. Jay Maycumber, Indrio Road resident, addressed the Board in support of the
program, however he stated he did concur with Mr. Babcock's assessments. He felt the
new development should match the TVC not the other way around and also need to
consider how many housing developments are being placed in the area and the density.
He expressed great concerns with the infrastructure and the costs.
Ms. Stacy Johnson, 8405 S. Indian River Drive, addressed the Board and expressed her
concerns with the density and does not understand why this project is needed. She asked
the Board to give it more thought.
Mr. Pat Murphy, 411 N. U.S. # 1, addressed the Board in support of the project and stated
it was important to preserve the pristine ranch.
Mr. Charles Grande, Hutchinson Island, addressed the Board and stated in his opinion
this would be precedent setting and should be reviewed on its own merit and we must
weigh what we are giving up.
Ms. Pam Hammer, The Reserve resident addressed the Board and recommended an
outside consultant be appointed to review the application. She stated her objection to the
35% open space and felt it was not enough. She asked the Board to consider the fact this
project would be creating a city with 30,000 residents. She reminded the Board there is
presently a water issue with the TVC per the DCA and she recommended the Board hold
off until the TVC issue is resolved.
The applicant was given the opportunity to address the issues raised by the public.
Mr. Cox stated he wished to correct one statement. The affordable housing percentage is
8% and this is a new policy added as per a request made previously.
He stated, the other issue was a question as to what would be the value on the easement
of the Adams Ranch if the county was prepared to pay for it. If you were to use the
comparables such as the sand scrub the county purchased at $2million for 247 acres or
$8,008 per acre. If you were to use these numbers, the Adams Ranch easement would
cost around $96 million (the easement itself). This is not the issue tonight. What is
before the Board tonight is whether to adopt an amendment to create a Rural Land
Stewardship overlay, this does not by itself increasing any densities or intensities without
SSA and SRA's and a Land Development Code that would apply to implement that
provision. The items that are still remaining will be discussed in the future processes to
come.
Mr. Cox stated he wished to discuss the changes to policy 1.10 . He stated the idea was
to take away uses in return for credits. The uses you take away the more credits you
4
receive. The Board has the discretion of do they grant the credits for the uses being taken
away, and do they suggest additional uses are to be taken away.
Com. Craft stated why would they include in the matrix and give the applicant credit for
not mining on every piece of property at the Adams Ranch. The likelihood is it is
impossible to mine every square acre on the ranch, so why are they even rewarding the
applicant for all of it? He does not mind giving them a little but every acre you are able
to remove that layer and gain that credit?
Mr. Cox stated yes, because this is forever, and it is saying that you will never be able to
mine any acres that are in a SSA.
Com. Craft asked the applicant how many units and credits would be potentially
generated on 12, 000 acres of sending area from mining?
Ms. Anita Jenkins, team member reviewed the matrix and the percentage value of each
land use layer that is removed.
Mr. Cox stated the 12,000 acres of the Adams Ranch could have 2400 homes on it
through out the property.
Com. Coward disagreed and stated clustered on 20% of the property.
Mr. Cox stated, if they have 80% open space you could.
Com. Coward stated, the current code requires clustering and preserve 80% open space
and this is fact.
Mr. Cox disagreed.
Com. Craft stated he was suggesting, when you do your credit matrix that is for you to be
able to score each piece of land and what he is suggesting is that no one use on the land
whether it is residential or mining, agriculture, no one individual use should be greater
than the 2400 units after it is calculated you may add them all together and gain more.
Mr. Cox stated in answering Com. Craft's question of "how many stewardship credits
could be generated from the mining layer stated it would be 12,000 x .2 or 2400 credits.
For example, in order to do the town on Cloud Groves, the 5,000 acre town, you need
35,000 credits.
Com. Craft questioned Mr. Cox's prior remarks where it was stated the maximum the
12,000 acre sending area would generate the maximum number of units that those credits
after all the credit matrix are done, would generate a maximum number of 13,428 homes.
Mr. Cox disagreed with this statement. He stated the total of Adams Ranch is 16, 466
acres could generate the 13,428 number of units, this is the limitation they were asked to
place on the program. There is no limitation on the 12,000 it is total limitation on the
22,000 acre overlay. Because the 12,000 scores the highest in environmentally valuable
land, it generates more credits per acre than the balance of the ranch.
The maximum density of the town is 5,000 acres with 2.5 units per acre. The maximum
that can go on Cloud Groves is 12,500. The plan is actually for 12,000. The remaining
could go if it were put into a village of 500 acres.
Mr. Cox stated if you have Cloud Grove at 5,000 acres and a village on Adams of 500
acres, you end up with 16,000 acres of Adams in an SSA this is the total maximum that
can be done. The 12,000 that is going into the first sending area generates more credits
per acre than the 4,000 acres that won't be in that sending area.
5
Com. Coward stated the following, " He does not believe Mr. Cox's math is far off. The
sending area is 12,000 acres and the entitlements on that property are 2400 with a land
use of 1 to 5. You are essentially carving out 928 units that the Adams family will retain,
so for the purpose of transferring it really gets taken out of the calculation. We are
looking at how many units are being created from the sending site Cloud Grove which is
the receiving site, we are talking about a maximum of 12,500 units on Cloud Grove, you
have a 5,000 acre property with a land use of 1 to 5, so you currently have 1,000 units
you could build today so, if you can now build 12,500 minus the 1,000 entitlements you
are creating 11,500 new units, he takes that calculation and divide it by the original
entitlements of 2400 to get essentially what the multiplier is and he knows Mr. Cox
disagrees with this but this is how he looks at this, they are sending 2400 units off the
Adams Ranch and are creating 11,500 new units on Cloud Grove and if you divide this
out it is an increase in density of 479%. This is the concern he has been expressing
throughout, how much is the county giving in order to get and an almost 500% increase
in density is substantial.
Com. Coward stated he knows the applicant utilizes the 3 to 1, but they apply this across
the entire acreage, both sending and receiving sites, so they are actually giving credits for
retaining units that are not even being sent off site which does not make any sense and
they are also giving credit to Cloud Groves for the original 1,000 units they had on site
for what purpose?
Mr. Cox stated it comes down to a fundamental distinction that it is not a multiplier
program. The request was what could you have done out there before? The density
based system is not giving what they want and it is not working any where in the country.
Mr. Cox commented on the policy 1.10. He stated if there is a desire to add the language,
he suggested that wherever it talks about "uses", that it be changed to "layers to be
removed would be subject to review and approval by the Board of County
Commissioners" instead of entitlements. It would read as follows:
" The Sending Area Land Use Layer represents uses currently allowed. During the
Stewardship Sending Area application process, land uses in the SSA would be removed,
subject to the approval by the Board of County Commissioners."
He suggested a similar change for 4.05.07.
Com. Coward requested Board input. He felt this language may change staff s intent.
The County Attorney stated he assisted in drafting the new language staff presented. He
believes the language provides the Board with the flexibility of determining whether to
approve or remove particular uses. He believes it does address some of staff s concerns
but felt it does not address all of their concerns.
The Environmental Resources Director stated her job is to help protect the natural
resources of the community. In this process they are receiving credits for protecting
listed species, enhanced credits for doing that, and staff feels that some of the uses that
continue to be allowed under the Agricultural 2 square are prohibitive and they are not
going to continue this. Staff has suggested instead calculating the credits on what is out
there today, perhaps base the credit on what will be there in the future.
Com. Hutchinson stated her dilemma was they are allowed to do these uses today. The
Board has the ability to say what can or cannot come off with the application process.
The Environmental Resources Director stated they have the ability to control which layer
they go to, they do not have the ability to remove specific uses under that layer this is
what she understood.
The Environmental Resources Director stated she would like to go on record to say that if
the language is approved the way it is today, that their recommendation would be that
roll
virtually with the exception of some areas that are currently highly degraded, actively
being used as agricultural areas, that the vast majority of the ranch be taken all the way
to the restoration layer and she does not believe this is what the Adams are intending,
they do not wish to go that far. She hopes they can find a middle ground.
Com. coward expressed concern on what legal right they would have to say no if it meets
our code and our code allows for mining in agricultural areas.
Mr. Cox stated the program is voluntary. There is an incentive Adams receives by
eliminating residential, general conditional and earth mining. He believes it would be a
disaster for the environment if they took the property down to restoration and natural
resources because it is the cattle ranching itself that results in the property being what it
is. It is because of the way they manage it.
He suggested removing riding stables and kennels from Ag 2 to AG 1 as a use a layer
would be removed and if you took outdoor shooting ranges and aquaculture and also
moved them from Ag 2 to Ag 1, those are then not allowed in an Ag 2 SSA. These are
the uses the Environmental Department was objecting to in an Ag 2 area.
Com. Lewis expressed her concern with the outdoor shooting range for example, if you
put an outdoor shooting range in the pasture, what ever is living in that hammock is gone
and they have already been given top value for that species being present. She liked the
original language and is not clear what Mr. Cox has changed.
Mr. Cox clarified his suggestion in the change .
Com. Coward stated, as he understood it was the intention was not to be giving bonuses
for protection that they have not actually received. If they are giving them bonuses to
protect areas yet they are leaving layers still sitting out there that could detrimentally
affect that resource, that does not give our staff or some of the Board a comfort level.
Ms. Jenkins stated that by protecting the Adams Ranch the county is protecting
Agriculture, protecting that resource for long term agricultural operations whatever those
operations are in the future, they will be symbiotically related to the natural resources.
Ms. Jenkins commented on balancing future growth and sustainability and asked how
many units do you need for a sustainable community that is not going to cost the
residents of this county to support it. If you do nothing tonight the county is supporting
the continued function of urban sprawl.
Com. Craft stated his question is not about the density but how it is being derived, how
are they getting to that density. If they can get him to a comfort level he may be more
supportive of this project. He agreed with Mr. Babcock's comments that the TVC LDR
and the RLS should be the same. He stated there is a reason for this and that is so that
they know what they are getting in the future. It's not a question of how much density is
on there but where it is coming from.
Mr. Cox stated it is a design requirement, they have put together the best package they
could, they have listened have had public hearing and worked on the lists generated at
these meetings. He believes they have a good program and they have a landowner who is
prepared to go forward and a developer prepared to go forward and he believes as part of
the analysis the Board should consider the landowner and the Adams and the four
generations of that family who are willing to do this and asked for Board approval.
Com. Coward stated he wanted to follow through with a discussion on the intent of the
program being natural resource protection as well as agriculture and he believes all the
Board members do understand it. Regarding the concerns of the Environmental Resource
Department were the fact there were additional layers, mining, that could jeopardize both
of those resources and if they were to go ahead and grant bonuses, additional
development rights as an incentive to protect natural resources and agriculture yet there is
an additional layer that remains out there, that could jeopardize that resource and this is
the issue that is still unaddressed despite Mr. Cox's insistence that it has. It remains out
7
there and this is the concern, we are granting the rewards without a comfort level that
those resources are clearly protected. The one issue he did not hear the applicant
mention was economic development and if it was required. He is not talking retail jobs
he was talking targeted industry.
Com. Coward asked the applicant, "are you required to create jobs other than service and
retail in the new town?
Mr. Cox stated there was not a requirement . He stated it was the same language as in the
TVC.
Com. Coward stated in this case you write the language as "encourage" and you get all
the development rights. In the TVC it may be the same language, but it is incentive
based and you have to earn it, it is not given to you up front. In the TVC the developers
are donating land to the county which we can use for targeted industries with our
incentives to make it happen. Once they do this, then they earn the right to have
additional development.
Mr. Cox stated the development rights in this program are created based upon the sending
area.
Com. Coward stated the point is they are not required to do quality economic
development, you are encouraged to do so, but not required.
Mr. Cox stated, he believes through the encouragement and the incentives that exist and
the approaches they are taking, they are going to be able to do this and prove it will be
fiscally sustainable.
Com. Coward stated if it is required then it should state so, but it does not, it states
encourage.
Com. Craft stated if they could get a vision of what they are saying it is it could make it
easier for the Board. If they could see the plan, they may get more comfortable with this.
Mr. Cox stated they are working on a plan to be submitted and go through the entire DRI
process that is going to lay this out. The difficulty they are looking at is they are not at
that SRA review stage, but he believes the Board will be pleased with what they see.
Com. Craft stated he would like to see what the 5,000 acres would consist of and asked if
the developer has a conceptual drawing.
Mr. Cox stated they have a conceptual drawing but it is not completed.
Com. Lewis stated until we tell them exactly what they are allowed to do (unintelligible
comment) she did not expect for them to give her roads, units and open spaces until she
tells them what they are permitted to put out there. This document does not read like a
design manual and she thinks it has a lot of good concepts. She thinks it is extremely
premature to ask them to give a concept. She personally felt these documents were
enough to go on tonight.
Com. Craft stated they were not negotiating they have asked and they have been told no,
so what he is asking for is to see what it will look like because then maybe he will
understand what they are saying. They are working on the plan today based on these
pages and numbers, he is not asking them to do anymore work, he would like to see what
they are talking about, he may be comfortable with it, he does not know.
Com. Hutchinson stated they needed to step back and look at the fact these are two
different planning tools.
8
Com. Coward stated his biggest concern was that in this program they are creating 5
times the density that it out there today. They are creating so much new development
through this that not only does it apply to this property but it could potentially apply to
the entire agricultural area. St. Lucie County already has too many dwelling units on the
books right now outside the urban service boundary probably in the neighborhood of
40,000. To think about a five fold increase in a number of units out there and this is the
worse case scenario but this is the number they are using they are looking at a potential of
200,000 units and he regards that as insane. He wants to give units but he does not think
that a 500% increase in density is the appropriate number and this is his major concern.
Com. Hutchinson stated if you do not give the ability to do something today, you end up
with revising less restrictive development plans in the future. She stated the numbers that
are being thrown out are today's numbers. Unintelligible comments.
Com. Coward stated it was a great concept, however for them having to create a 500%
increase in density to achieve it where he is having the problem. The original plan
presented was to take all of the development rights off of this property in exchange for
some additional development rights on Cloud Grove and now we are retaining 1,000 of
3400 keeping those on site and still creating 11,500 new development rights on a
property that is in a remote area and the infrastructure that is going to be built there is
going to have a major implications on surrounding development as well. He would like
nothing better than to work this project out, find that balance Com. Craft is talking about
and vote in favor of this. His gut is telling him 500% increase in density is too much.
Com. Smith stated the difference for him is that there were over 700 landowners in the
TVC. In this event you have essentially two. The issue is there is a lot of pristine land
we have the opportunity of preserving a good portion of it and in doing so we will also be
looking at land development that would occur at Cloud Grove, does this balance out, is it
even? For him he stated it does. He stated this is a step in a process .
Com. Coward requested consensus on policy 1.10 and asked the assistance of the County
Attorney.
The County Attorney stated the language as it been modified by the applicant has
resolved one of the concerns, to provide the Board with flexibility during the sending
area application process and the easement process so that the Board is not obligated to
necessarily approve specific uses. It does seem to provide the Board with some flexibility
to determine whether certain uses are removed or not. The landowner must agree to
begin with, but the Board cannot force or remove if the landowner does not agree but is
does provide the Board with the ability to say no if it does agree.
He also believes the suggestion to move the riding stables, kennels and shooting ranges,
also the commercial aquaculture from 2 to 1 is a positive step from a staff perspective. If
t he Board agrees those changes should be made. The same language should be included
in the land development code and placement can be dealt with later on.
Com. Coward requested incorporating language to require a DRI process as a policy.
Mr. David Powell, on behalf of STDG stated they did not have an objection to this type
of a policy.
It was suggested placing the DRI requirement language in policy 4.6.
Com. Coward commented on adding language requiring land dedicated for economic
development.
The County Attorney suggested language such as "the developer shall maximize efforts
to create jobs, and also provide language that would allow the County to provide
additional incentives for donation of property to encourage things such as this.
E
Com. Coward stated he felt there should be language having a minimum standard, the
term "maximize" does not mandate it. He would like to see a dedicated amount of square
footage or acreage something to make sure the county ends up with something concrete
as a part of this.
The County Administrator stated the square footage is important and he would like at the
minimum of 100,000 square feet and this is for one company. He could not elaborate
further due to the confidentiality.
Com. Lewis stated she felt we were getting something for this creation, environmentally
sensitive land we cannot afford to purchase.
Com. Craft suggested writing in a minimum of 2% would be dedicated for targeted
industry and he would prefer it would come to the county because they would have more
leverage.
A team member stated this whole issue has gotten them by surprise and this is an issue
that has never come up in the conversation, this is a policy requirement that is being
thrown out at this time.
Com Craft stated what he was suggesting is that the county is privy to conversations and
negotiations with the companies that the developers are not. If they have the acreage to
work with in the beginning it's the county decision and it would benefit Cloud Grove.
Com. Coward stated this is not been a conversation that has not been discussed
previously. Since day one he has had conversation with the team about what the county is
trying to achieve in the TVC and trying to work in partnership with the builders having
land donated for the purpose, this is not a new issue.
The County Attorney suggested the following language: " The creation of targeted
industries and businesses needed to create a sustainable community must be satisfactorily
addressed in the development approval process."
Mr. Cox provided the following language to be inserted at the end of page 38 of the LDR
" The Cloud Grove Town SRA shall reserve to county sufficient land for 500,000 gross
square feet and required parking, based upon the required or area ratio, for targeted
industry as a part of the SRA, to be deeded to County upon binding commitment by the
user. If the County does not obtain binding commitment for such uses within 5 years of
SRA approval, any non -committed lands shall revert to developer. "
Com. Coward asked who was responsible for building the infrastructure that will service
this targeted industry.
The County Administrator stated he believed that the developer would bring the utilities
and infrastructure to the site and the county would run it into the site. He stated each
developer wants a different location they do not want to be in one complex so this could
be in 4 or 5 different locations within Cloud Groves.
Com. Coward stated it may need to be integrated into the design since it is in a remote
location.
A team member stated this is an issue that would need to be sorted out in the SRA
approval process.
Com. Coward stated he is very pleased with the language that has been brought forward
and thanked the applicant, however he would like to see an additional sentence that talks
about integrating these economic development opportunities into the town planning so
that it does not end up as some remote isolated piece.
Mr. Cox suggested adding after the word, targeted industry, add , "as an integrated part
of."
10
Com. Coward thanked Mr. Cox for that additional sentence.
Com. Coward commented on the importance of this project being fiscally neutral to the
taxpayers. He alluded to policy 4.16 page 19, and stated they addressed part of his past
concern but not its entirety. The language the way it is written where it reads at the end
of ten years it has to be fiscally neutral. He believes the statement should be is that it will
be fiscally neutral or positive to St. Lucie including capital and operational cost. (delete
after 10 years). Subsequent review shall occur on 10 year increments but the way it is
written, it can be interpreted to mean that the fiscal neutrality does not have to occur for a
ten year time frame and he believes it is the first 10 year time frame where the greatest
likelihood of a taxpayer subsidy will occur because the tax base would not be coming in
from the new town but the service demands will be great.
He believes the way this is written does not reflect what they have been saying
throughout this hearing.
The County Administrator asked the applicant, "are we going to be fiscally neutral from
day one? and requested an answer to this question.
The applicant stated, he believes from day one you have to demonstrate that the project
will be fiscally neutral by the time they finish.
Com. Smith asked the question, "on day one of that project, and it is a yes or a no answer,
will this project be fiscally neutral, will the taxpayers of St. Lucie County who do not live
in the Cloud Grove area need to subsidize this project on day one, the first house built,
the first road, the first light post?
The applicant stated he did not think that they would because he thinks the policies
includes enough mechanisms for financing the improvements that are needed for this
project through CDD's .
Mr. Cox stated he believed it would be and to be specific he would add at end is that if
you look at the end of the policy, 4.16 in the paragraph where it states "an enforceable
developer agreement shall be required to make sure public facilities provided by the
developer are completed in accordance to Florida law that the developer agreement may
authorize the developer to assign any obligation for construction, operation or
maintenance of the public facility to a community development district, independent
special district or other unit of local government.
Mr. Cox stated this becomes the binding commitment as part of the development
approval to fund that infrastructure.
Com. Coward the project idea from day one was sold from day one was that it would pay
for itself and he does not understand why there is any hesitation whatsoever to have
language that states this. He suggested taking the language Mr. Cox was referring to
where it clearly delineates a) they must demonstrate fiscal neutrality at the time of
development approval b) the monitoring occurs thereafter.
Mr. Cox stated this is what he has done.
After conferring with his staff Mr. Cox returned with the additional language.
Policy 4.16 4t' line (and operational costs) insert the following : at the time of
development approval within each SRA. (This takes the monitoring language from the
other page and placing it into the fiscally neutral at the time.
Mr. Cox stated at the last meeting they had covered as part of it, before anything is
approved, they must demonstrate to the Board's satisfaction that this SRA or any SRA is
going to be fiscally neutral at the time the BCC approves it, it must be fiscally neutral at
the end of the first ten years and every five years afterwards and at the horizon year.
Mr. Cox used the example of putting in the plans to build a fire station, this would not be
the first building built but the fire station will be built as they get into it. If in the first
11
year someone catches their kitchen on fire, the cost of the fire truck coming to put out this
fire, the taxes from the already built 200 units may not cover the cost of the fire. The first
ten years would give them the ability to have this all in, the fire station, the police station
all built. This is what he thought they had at the last meeting.
Com. Coward requested the Board design language they are comfortable with. He would
like to have a simple statement that they will be fiscally neutral throughout the life of the
project from beginning to end.
The County Administrator stated this is where he thought they were. If there is a
catastrophe or something they may need to bring in a fire truck or something this would
be understandable, but on normal operating days, he thought they would be fiscally
neutral beginning day one.
Mr. Cox stated if they do not have that fire day one, they would be fiscally neutral day
one, if they have a fire day one then they will need additional revenue to offset this day
two and day three.
The County Administrator stated he did not wish to have the Fire District hire more
personnel or buy equipment to staff another station until they get it built there to cover
their area.
Mr. Cox stated he believed they would have the specific details as to when the
infrastructure would come on line, when it would be built, how much it would be, what
the first piece would be, what the second piece would be, would go into the DRI
development order as a condition.
Com. Coward reiterated his position that this project would not be fiscally neutral in the
beginning as first thought.
Com. Craft read a paragraph from the Fire District's letter where it is recommending the
language be tightened.
Com. Coward once again reiterated his position and stated it was abundantly clear. He
wished a period be placed after the word cost and this is the statement that it would be
fiscally neutral with capital and operating period and the monitoring occurs as prescribed
below, demonstrate at time of approval and then a 10 year increment and then 5 years
there after.
He asked if any of the Board members had an objection to this.
No reply was given by the Board members.
It was moved by Com. Hutchinson that the Board approve Ordinance No. 06-031 with
the proposed policy changes on policy 4.6 to include the DRI language, figure 4
removing commercial aquaculture, riding stables and kennels, shooting ranges, from
AG. 2 to 1, the revised language as proposed earlier on 1.10, the addition of fire
protection, law enforcement and EMS on policy 4.13,
Mr. Cox stated the language he read to policy 4.16 is acceptable to everyone on his side,
the change recommended by the Board was to place the period instead of the language is
NOT acceptable to the applicant.
Com. Hutchinson continued with her motion; the revised language on policy 4.16 the
wording the Board had discussed a period after the word, "cost', seconded by Com. Craft
Com. Hutchinson questioned how the Board would require the developer to pay the
salaries.
Com. Coward stated this would be done during the economic assessment until they
generate a tax revenue out there to actually pay for it.
12
Com. Hutchinson stated this was not her intent when she added the language discussed
by the Board in her motion.
Com. Coward stated this was not the intent of the program when it was sold to the Board
and they would then have to turn around and say the existing taxpayers will have to
subsidize this development.
Com. Hutchinson stated she does not see it this way because at this point they do not
require this of anyone.
Com. Craft stated she was correct, however, they did not have developments taking place
10 or 15 miles from the service providers, such as Fire EMS, Law Enforcement. This
has to be dealt with completely isolated in the way they have dealt with any other project.
They are talking about putting in a development so far west that there are no service
providers even remotely close to them. The closest fire department is Lakewood Park.
This motion was pulled off the table
It was moved by Com. Smith, to approve Ordinance 06-031 with the following, 4.6
regarding DRI language, figure 4, commercial aquaculture, riding stables, kennels
shooting ranges moved from AG2 to AG 1 layer, 1.10 with the revised language, 4.13
regarding law enforcement, fire protection and EMS and 4.16 regarding fiscal neutrality
as stated and the board discussion as stated with the period after cost, seconded by Com.
Craft,
Ms. Anita Jenkins stated there was some confusion with the last hearing with her
comments. The policy says and the intent has always been that towns and villages as a
whole shall be fiscally neutral or positive. She stated they would see a fiscal model at the
time of application to demonstrate what the program and the land plan illustrates to you.
At the time of 10 years that land plan will have the ability to stabilize and that program
will have the ability to stabilize and the county will monitor it then and measure it and
look back at that fiscal neutrality and the positive situation that results from it.
She stated if it was misinterpreted and if she said it was going to be fiscally neutral from
day one that was not her intent. Fiscally neutral or positive a whole, this policy has not
changed no program can be measured day to day and this is why they have increments in
here to monitor and look back at it to insure it is fiscally neutral or positive.
Com. Coward stated he did not wish to put words in her mouth but she is acknowledging
there will be a period of time where the taxpayers will have to subsidize it where it would
not be fiscally neutral.
Ms. Jenkins stated she was not.
Com. Coward asked why then they could not accept the language requested.
Mr. Cox stated there may be a portion of the first ten years that would be positive or
negative.
Com. Craft stated until the station is built he believes what they are trying to say is that
they will need to have staff to cover it. What the Board is saying is they have to find
some way to fund this without Cloud Grove being a burden on the taxpayers of St. Lucie
County.
Mr. Cox stated he did not disagree. The DRI development order will lay out when each
of these facilities are built, option A is you pay the impact fees and have the county build
the facility, option B is they get funded through an independent special district or a CDD
and there is impact fee credits based upon those amounts of money for each of the
infrastructure requirement.
Com. Hutchinson called the motion.
13
And upon roll call, the vote was as follows: Nay's: Com. Lewis, Com. Hutchinson, Com.
Coward, Aye's, Com. Smith, Com. Craft
Motion denied by a vote of 3 to 2.
It was moved by Com. Lewis Ordinance No. 06-031 amending item 4.6 to include the
DRI, removing the items as discussed from AG 2 to AG1, revised language on 1.10, add
Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement to 4.13, 4.16 language as proposed by Mr. Cox,
seconded by Com. Hutchinson, and; upon roll call, the vote was as follows: Nay's, Com.
Smith, Com. Craft, Coward; Aye's; Com. Hutchinson, Com. Lewis, motion denied by a
vote of 3 to 2.
Com. Coward stated they need to resolve the fiscal neutrality issue or this will not pass.
Mr. Cox addressed this issue once again regarding the DRI development order and the
fact they need some time period within which they can average out the positives and the
negatives.
The County administrator asked if it was at the county's discretion on how to settle up.
Mr. Cox stated he believed it was placed in the development order in terms as to what are
the specifics on this, there is no development approved before they have the mechanism
for settling up it would b reflected in a DRI development order and in the SRA approval
and the development agreement. As they come through this there is a final approval,
there is a DRI, an SRA and a development agreement. In that they would have the
minute details of how they settle up and this would be negotiated between now and that
time. If they do not reach that negotiated agreement, they do not get the approval for the
town, nothing will ever get built. At this point they do not have that model put together
for he fiscal neutrality and they are not saying the taxpayers need to pay for this, we are
saying we have that time to be able to do it and settle up.
Com. Coward stated he believes they are saying this, that the first ten years it is not
going to pay for itself and we will need to have taxpayers pay for it. He is really
disappointed.
Com. Coward requested a substitute motion.
Com. Lewis asked if it was acceptable at a 5 year time frame as recommended by the
applicant.
Com. Coward stated this was not acceptable to him, his comments are clear he wishes for
the development to pay for itself all along.
Com. Smith stated 10 years was a long time and asked Mr. Cox if there was a way the
county and the citizens of the community have an idea of how the money is being used,
how it is going.
Mr. Cox suggested leaving the language as he re- drafted but adding the monitoring,
add in after cost, at the time of development approval within each SRA, at the end of the
first ten years. This is what he would call the "bench marks" at which they would have to
reconcile if not they would have to write a check, change the program, pay an impact fee,
whatever that is.
Com. Coward stated the first benchmark is 10 years.
Com. Smith stated, positive or negative he would not want to make anyone wait ten years
and he would not want to find himself in a position to bind another Board. He would
rather have a shorter time horizon.
14
Com. Craft stated he had talked about having the developer post a bond and this way the
money would be there and this is a way out possibly everyone can work with. He would
be comfortable and be able to vote to support the project that way. He recommended
leaving the language as the Board had changed it with the period in it and through the
sending area application when they look at the applicant's performa then they can get an
idea and work it out then.
Com. Coward stated he needed to know if there would be a period of time the taxpayers
would be subsidizing this project.
Com. Craft stated should not, there will be money in the bank waiting making sure that it
does not so that the county is guaranteed the taxpayers will not have to subsidize this
project in any way or form.
Com. Coward stated the basic question is, does the Board want to provide the opportunity
for the applicant to get a subsidy from local taxpayers and if so what time frame if any.
Com. Smith stated based on Com. Craft comments and if they were to give the county a
check to hold then he would see fiscal neutrality in that sense.
Com. Coward stated he too would see this also and this is what he was looking for,
however this is not what they wish.
The County Attorney stated the difficulty seemed to be trying to identify security and
issues that they probably do not know anything about. He suggested adding a sentence
" the final development orders shall provide for bi-annual monitoring and shall identify
remedial measures including the posting of adequate security in the event fiscal neutrality
is not achieved."
The County Administrator asked if this monitoring would occur at the end of the first 24
months and if the county would get reimbursed.
The County Attorney stated that would be dealt with in the final development order.
They would have to demonstrate it in the model at the beginning and monitor it every two
years thereafter. Whatever the Board finds acceptable.
Com. Coward stated he did not have a problem with the monitoring or the remedial
measures, the questions was do you want to give them a break period of paying for
themselves and it seems to him there are 3 Commissioners who do not wish to give them
a grace period.
The County Attorney stated in the way he has worded it, you could identify the remedial
measures in advance and this could be the posting of a bond or a letter of credit right at
the beginning not wait for the bi-annual monitoring.
Com. Smith stated he liked the idea of a letter of credit or some type of bond along with
the bi-annual monitoring, this way it allows them to still have the resources they need to
do what is necessary and also provides the county with the ability to hold the fiscal
neutrality.
Com. Coward asked the time period for the fiscal neutrality from day one forward or is
he suggesting an alternative.
Com. Smith stated, he would be willing to provide at the first bi-annual (24 months)
report they be able to show if not fiscal neutrality, the plans for fiscal neutrality.
Com. Coward stated if you wait two years out they will have a lot of upfront costs that
are going to have to be born by the local taxpayers and this is why he is concerned about
pushing that time frame.
15
Com. Hutchinson questioned where's the local cost since they will be required to start the
infrastructure upfront.
Com. Coward gave the example of Tradition's the fire station has not been built as yet
and the Fire District hired the staff (100 people) in advance and has had to train them, so
the taxpayers are currently subsidizing that development and the exact same scenario will
apply here but at a larger scale because this is a significantly larger project.
Com. Hutchinson stated she understood what he was saying, however, the first two years
are going to be constructing the infrastructure and she does not see why they would be
hiring additional staff.
Com. Coward stated they would need to train the staff in advance.
Com. Smith asked if the applicant would be supportive and willing to provide a bond or a
letter of credit on day one, so that on day one there is fiscal neutrality.
Mr. Cox stated the question is what is day one? When the first two or three homes come
in then something can be posted, but the amount would then vary. If the surety and he
believes they mean some sort of assurance, if there was an assurance that could then be
set forth in the development order based upon the model, they would then instead of
sitting here today saying I don't know when the specific first 500 homes come in, that
could then be phased. The thought would be, put something in the Comp Plan that says
part of the development order shall include the phasing plan and the mechanism for either
funding or providing surety. He stated this concept may work, the question is at what
point do you pull the trigger, is it 5 years after the first home or 5 years after tat 500th
home. He would expect this would be something that once they see the phase in they
would tie it in and say "here's when it matters."
Com. Craft advised Nr. Cox that if in fact what he is saying is true, they should not have
an issue with the language proposed by Com. Hutchinson or Com. Smith. This should
not be an issue and it can be worked out the details when the receiving area application is
brought forward. So if they can just say they are going to be fiscally neutral from day
one period, we can figure out how to secure this, whether it be through a letter of credit, a
bond whatever. He staed, what he does not want to do is since it will two or three years
before you see the first house or maybe even longer, he does not wish to be sitting here or
the next Board be sitting here and attempting to explain to the citizens that we cannot cut
your taxes this year because the previous Board approved a lot of development that really
did not pay for itself and unfortunately this is where we are and we cannot afford to
continue this route especially with a development this large.
Mr. Cox stated he cannot agree to the change in the ten years and cannot agree to the
monitoring and putting in to the SRA, the laying it all out and he would love to say yours
is the specific language we can use, he believes it will work, he believes it will be in the
SRA and the DRI approval laid out and clear, but from a policy perspective it would up
to the Board to make another motion and see if it passes.
Com. Hutchinson advised the Chairman the County Attorney may have some additional
language the Board may consider.
The County Attorney stated in terms of the firs sentence they can put in " must
demonstrate at the time of development approval that as a whole it will be fiscally neutral
or positive to the County including capital operations in costs. The final development
shall identify project and infrastructure phasing help provide for bi-annual monitoring
and shall identify remedial measures including the posting of adequate security in the
event fiscal neutrality is not achieved."
Com. Coward stated the term "as a whole " is still in the sentence and asked if this meant
the 10 year subsidy remains.
The County Attorney stated, no, not the way he understood it. There would be
monitoring every two years and at that point you would look and see if neutrality was
16
being achieved and the medial measures of posting the security would then kick in at that
point.
Com. Coward stated he still was not clear if they were still required to be fiscally neutral
day one or not.
The County Attorney stated at the time of the development order it would identify
phasing schedules, provide for monitoring and it's going to identify in the development
order what remedial measures would be in place to make sure the county does not
experience the fiscal event that would result in a negative payment by the county. This
was his intent.
Com. Coward stated the question is when, the term as a whole still remains. The
question is do we want to provide any period of time where the taxpayer has to subsidize
this project.
Com. Smith stated if there is a bond, a letter of credit or some financial means we have in
the beginning, the day you start turning dirt with a bulldozer and the county has some
financial resource that we can rely on, depend on if and when you are not fiscally neutral,
then the county is whole from day one, there is never a grace period should the project
not be fiscally neutral then the county has the opportunity to make itself whole out of the
alternative whatever that instrument may be. He stated if he understands the County
Attorney during the development order time, they can work with the applicant to find out
what that number would be and how that would be used.
Com. Coward stated this is what he was trying to have the County Attorney clarify, the
way the language is written with the term "as a whole" and they are talking about ten
years and this is not what Com. Smith is saying he is saying from day one and that is
what two other Board members want, so there is a clear consensus that this language
needs to be modified.
Com. Smith stated he did not see the term "as a whole " having any value as part of the
sentence. If they need to go back to the definition and describe the term "as a whole" so
that this Board and future Boards understand what it means and this is something that can
be discussed.
Com. Coward stated he believed they did describe it and it was over the life of the project
and they anticipating through their economic models to put the net revenue increase to
taxpayers, but up front it will would not. Deleting " as a whole" allows for them to
incorporate that subsidy upfront and this is why he objected to that language.
Com. Craft asked if there was additional piece in the document that could be changed that
would make him happy so that they can move forward on the language suggested by
Com. Smith.
Com. Coward stated not to the satisfaction of the applicant, because he has several issues
and the main one is dealing with the 500% increase in density. If this issue could be
rectified he would support the project. The 500% density is an issue, the fiscal neutrality
is an issue, open space down to 35% is another issue.
Mr. Cox presented new language. He suggested instead of putting in at the end of the
first 10 years, the end of 5 years, at the end of build out, you left that out and you said,
"the final development order shall include phasing of the capital and operational cost a
mechanism for monitoring and a mechanism for assuring fiscal neutrality." What you are
saying is, there is a requirement that for the SRA is an appropriate agreement that
includes monitoring phasing, monitoring and reconciliation.
Com. Coward asked if they were wishing to eliminate any reference to a time period.
17
Mr. Cox stated, the time period gets set in the development order and they have an
opportunity to show the Board the model, talk about it and figure out something that will
actually work as part of the development order. Instead of saying it will be every 2 years
or there will be a bond posted, leaving open how it is done, but saying it has to be done.
He stated, it is not saying they are changing the approach, it gives them the ability to
actually use real data, real information to craft a real agreement, rather than agreeing or
trying to negotiate some language sight un seen. It' s following the, it's got to be fiscally
neutral from day one following the concept. There has to be an ability to sit with the
County Administrator and say, "let's understand what we are looking at."
Com. Coward stated this is a broader goal in the Comprehensive Plan, let's just simply
say it is going to be "fiscally neutral from day one" acknowledging that as we move
forward with the development order, we are going to work out the details and if you are
agreeing to that, then we do not have an issue.
Mr. Cox stated, what he is saying is "place the period at the end of capital and operational
costs"., and then they will work through the details.
Com. Craft stated he believes this does make sure we keep this project fiscally neutral, it
just allows it in a different part of the program.
Com. Coward sated he did not care where it's done, as long as it is clear tonight that it is
going to be fiscally neutral from day one.
The County Attorney address the first sentence and stated the Board may want to delete
the words, "as a whole" place a period after the word, "cost" and the final development
order will identify phasing, provide monitoring and identify measures to assure fiscal
neutrality, then you can continue and strike "at the end of the first 10 years and every 5
years after at the horizon build out." Then start the demonstration would be made and
going on to the next section something with number 2 because they are the ones who
suggested the 10 years and the 5 years and it should say, " the monitoring of fiscal
neutrality."
Com. Hutchinson questioned if this conflicted with the state requirements of Rural Land
Stewardship with regards to monitoring.
The County Attorney stated he is not aware of any requirements for monitoring.
The County Attorney reiterated his recommended language to policy 4.16 the first line
would remain the same, the second line would remain the same, the Board should
consider whether to take out the words "as a whole", stop the sentence after "cost", strike
the rest of the sentence, " at the end of the first 10 years all the way through build out
paren, insert a sentence after the word "cost" period, that says, " the final development
order shall identify phasing, provide for monitoring and shall identify measures to assure
fiscal neutrality." Continue with the word, "this demonstration shall be made ( and
continue on),
Com. Smith stated he was comfortable with this language as did Com. Hutchinson and
Com. Lewis.
The County Attorney continued. The next paragraph, sub -paragraph two, referencing 10
year and 5 year, he inserted, " the monitoring of fiscal neutrality (period). The intent is
to defer a negotiation of these issues on how to achieve fiscal neutrality to the front of the
development order.
Com. Coward stated, with the understanding they will be seeking it through out the
project.
The County Attorney stated in the affirmative.
18
Com. Craft asked Mr. Cox if he was okay with what was presented which is also
practically verbatim what he has on the paper.
Mr. Cox stated, he has some people who are not okay wit h it, but he is trying to help the
Board come to some language that he will have to deal with them once they see what the
Board has does. For the record, he stated he does not have unanimity on that language,
but it seems that may be the way to help the Board get where ..... , he is not agreeing to
it, he is trying to help facilitate.
Com. Coward asked rather than going through the same item changes, they can take a
focus on the revised language.
The County Attorney stated, " yes, they are looking at policy 1.10, policy 4.6 , policy
4.13, RSL Figure 4, and policy 4.16 as read. "
It was moved by Com. Craft, seconded by Com. Smith to approve staff recommendation
as stated by Counsel, and; upon roll call, the vote was as follows: Aye's: Hutchinson,
Lewis, Smith, Craft; Nay, Coward, motion carried by a vote of 4 to 1.
Com. Hutchinson stated, " she hopes this would not be one of those " would of, should
of, could of that they will all look back on and regret.
2. GROWTH MANGEMENT/STRATEGY & SPECIAL PROJECT
Continue second reading of Ordinance No.06-030 adopting land development regulations
to apply to property generally located within the Rural Land Stewardship Area Overlay
Zone boundary - Consider staff recommendation to approve with conditions the
proposed LDR's through the adoption of Ordinance No. 06-030.
The two earlier items dealing with the LDR's was the language with Economic
Development, and the second was 4.05.07.
Com. Lewis pointed out that also # 4 matrix had to be revised.
The County Attorney stated he would like to place the language for 4.05.07 in the
purpose and intent portion and in 4.05.07 this is the language they spoke of and it mirrors
what they just agreed to do in policy 1.10.
It was moved by Com. Smith, seconded by Com. Craft, to approve Ordinance No. 06-
030as amended, and; upon roll call, the vote was as follows: Aye's: Lewis, Hutchinson,
Craft, Smith, Nay: Coward; motion carried by a vote of 4 to 1.
There being no further business to be brought before the Board, the meeting was
adjourned.

AGENDA REQUEST ITEM NO.7
DATE: September 26, 2006
REGULAR [XI
PUBLIC HEARING 0
CONSENT O
TO: Board of County Commissioners
PRESENTED BY:
SUBMITTED BY (DEPT): Administration Douglas Anderson, County Administrator
SUBJECT: Authorize St .Lucie County to partner with the Trust for Public Lands (TPL) in acquiring up to
220 of 520 acres owned by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution (HBOI), authorize St.
Lucie County to negotiate an agreement with TPL through which the property will be
transferred to public ownership and through which financial assistance will be rendered to
TPL in its acquisition services, and approve potentially needed matching funds not to exceed
25% for grants required to acquire the property.
BACKGROUND: In a cooperative effort with Senator Ken Pruitt and President Frank Brogan of Florida Atlantic
University, St. Lucie County has developed five proposals to provide financial resources to
HBOI. These five proposals are outlined in the attached 8/11/2006 letter mailed to both
Senator Pruitt and President Brogan. The proposals were presented to HBOI on 8/28/2006
in a meeting that involved Senator Pruitt, President Brogan and County Administrator
Douglas Anderson. At that meeting, HBOI agreed in principle to the proposals. One of the
proposals involves acquiring up to 220 of 520 acres owned by HBOI. A map of the lands to
be acquired is attached. The County intends to apply for a grant from Florida Communities
Trust (FCT) and/or the Florida Forever Program for financial assistance to acquire the lands.
The Florida Forever Program has provided an informal assessment of value of the lands of
up to $30 million. The Florida Forever Program has also provided assurance that they will
work with the County to secure required grant funding. Because time is of the essence in
providing financial assistance to HBOI, the County intends to partner with TPL in the
acquisition. TPL will serve as an interim owner of the lands until the County can secure
grant funding. St. Lucie County has worked successfully with TPL in at least three other
instances in successfully acquiring environmental lands.
Acquisition of the site will allow for the reconnection of an approximate 60-acre impounded
mangrove marsh, which will restore the filtering function of the marsh thereby improving
water quality of the Indian River Lagoon. Acquisition of the site will also add to the Indrio
Savannas Greenway. It is planned that the site will have connectivity to the Indrio Savannas
Preserve (219 acres), Indrio Scrub Preserve (23 acres), and Indrio Blueway Preserve (105
acres).
FUNDS AVAIL: Funding will be required to assist TPL in its acquisition services. These costs will be
incorporated into an agreement to be negotiated at an appropriate future date. The
agreement, after its negotiation, will be submitted to the Board for its approval.
If grant funding is secured through the Florida Forever Program, a match is not required.
However, providing match may strengthen the grant application. Under the Florida
Forever Program, it is customary for the State to assume ownership of the land.
Management of the land would be performed by the County under a management
agreement. State ownership of the lands creates difficulties in regard to permitting,
eligibility for future grants, and restrictive land uses.
If grant funding is secured through FCT, a match not to exceed 25% will be required.
Depending upon the exact negotiated acreage of the acquisition, the appraised value the
acreage, and because of a limit on the amount of grant funding available through FCT on
an annual basis; acquisition of the project by the County may have to phased over a
period of years. Future funding may have to be made available for the required match in
the County's Environmentally Sensitive Land (ESL) Program. Currently there are
available in the ESL Program for this project.
PREVIOUS ACTION: In 2002, the Board approved a partnership with TPL to acquire 105 acres from HBOI.
TPL acquired the land and subsequently transferred ownership to the County when
100% grant funding for both acquisition and restoration was secured.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board authorize the partnering of the County with the Trust for
Public Lands in the acquisition of HBOI properties and future negotiations with TPL
to develop an agreement through which the County or State will acquire the properties and
through which financial assistance will be rendered to TPL in its acquisition
services. Any agreement negotiated with TPL will be submitted, after negotiation, to the
Board for approval. Also approve potentially needed matching funds not to exceed 25% for
grants required to acquire the property.

DATE: September 22, 2006
RE: Notice of Appeal — Bid Protest — SLC Bid #06-084 — Runway 9L-27R and
Parallel Taxiway System
BACKGROUND:
On July 12, 2006, submittals received for Bid #06-084 were opened. Below is a summary
of the two bids received:
Base Bid
Add Alternate 1
Add Alternate 2
Add Alternate 3
Add Alternate 4
Total
Sitewerks, Inc.
$3,315,082.85
$932,385.92
$282,298.51
$237,595.99
$392,091.48
$5,159,454.75
Dickerson Florida, Inc.
$3,671,520.00
$1,020,908.00
$383,210.00
$194,480.00
$247,710.00
$5,517,828.00
After review of the proposals, we determined that Sitewerks, Inc. did not meet the
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Requirements set forth in the contract
documents and required by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Sitewerks,
Inc. committed to provide 0% DBE utilization on this project and did not provide
documentation demonstrating a good faith effort to meet the 14.1 % goal, therefore
Sitewerks' bid was deemed non -responsive.
Dickerson Florida, Inc. submitted a bid that although did not meet the DBE goal, did
demonstrate good faith effort.
On July 28, 2006, Sitewerks, Inc. sent a Letter of Protest to the Purchasing Department. In
accordance with the Purchasing Manual, I consulted with the Assistant County
Administrator and the County Attorney concerning the written protest; it was decided that
Sitewerks' bid was non -responsive.
On August 28, 2006, Sitewerks, Inc. appealed the Purchasing Department's decision to the
County Administrator and the Board of County Commissioners. I have attached all
correspondence from Sitewerks, Inc., the Purchasing Department, and County
Administrator; including Sitewerks, Inc.'s request to have their protest heard by the Board
of County Commissioners.
The FAA is funding 95% of this project. Miguel Martinez, Project Manager for the FAA,
stated that the DBE requirements, or at least a good faith effort to meet them, are
mandatory for this project. Mr. Martinez further stated that Sitewerks did not even make a
good faith effort to meet the requirements and the FAA therefore approves of the County
awarding the contract to the next lowest bidder.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board uphold Staffs recommendation to rule Sitewerks,
Inc. non -responsive.

Re: Runway 9L-27R and Parallel Taxiway System
Bid Package 1 (06-084): Earthwork
Recommendation of Construction Contract Award
Ms. Lewis:
id
PBS&J has reviewed both sets of proposal documents received at the July 12th, 2006lation of bids was compiled and a copy is enclosed or yourropening for the above
referenced project. A tabu reference.
A summary of Bids are as follows:
Sitewerks. Inc.
Base Bid
$3,315,082.85
Add Alternate 1
$932,385.92
Add Alternate 2
$282,298.51
Add Alternate 3
$237,595.99
Add Alternate 4
$392,091.48
Dickerson Florida, Inc.
Base Bid $3,671,520.00
Add Alternate 1 $1,020,908.00
Add Alternate 2 $383,210.00
Add Alternate 3 $194,480.00
Add Alternate 4 $247,710.00
Sitewerks, Inc.submitted the low base bid in the amount of $3,315,082.85. Considering that the two bids were
within 10% of each other, and the low bid was approximately 27% below our engineer's estimate of probable
construction cost, we feel that the project developed good interest from contractors and resulted in competitive bids.
After review of the proposal documents, we have determined that Sitewerks, Inc. has not met the DBE requirements
set forth in the contract documents. Part V, Section 3 of the Federal Contract Clauses (page FCC-29) states:
"Award Documentation and Procedure: All bidders shall certify in the bid proposal their intent to meet or exceed
the established goal or to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the goal. Failure to make such certification or
failure to demonstrate good faith efforts will render a bid non responsive. "
Sitewerks, Inc. has committed to provide 0% DBE utilization on this project and has provided no documentation
demonstrating a good faith effort to meet the goal of 14.1%. PBS&J finds Sitewerks, Inc.'s bid non responsive.
Based on the available funding, we recommend you award the contract to Dickerson Florida, Inc. for the completion
of the Base Bid and Add Alternates 1, 2, and 4, resulting in a total award amount of $5,323,348.00.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 407-647-7275 ext. 4263.

RE: Bid Protest - 06-083 Runway 9L-27R $ Parallel Taxiway: Earthwork
Dear Mr. Sanders:
Your letter of July 28, 2006, protesting the Consultant's recommendation of award for
Bid #06-083 Runway 9L-27R and Parallel Taxiway: Earthwork, to Dickerson Florida, Inc. was
received by our office.
I have read your letter of protest and also the letter of recommendation of award,
received from Craig Sucich of Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan. I have reviewed bid
proposals that were submitted by both Sitewerks, Inc. and Dickerson Florida, Inc.
Page FCC-29, "Award Documentation and Procedure" of the bid package states: "All
bidders shall certify in the bid proposal their intent to meet or exceed the established goal or
to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the goal. Failure to make such certification or
failure to demonstrate good faith efforts will render a bid non -responsive."
Sitewerks, Inc. has committed to provide 0% DBE utilization on this project and has
provided no documentation demonstrating a good faith effort to meet the goal of 14.1%.
Based upon the DBE requirements that were in the bid package (page FCC-29), I concur with
Craig Sucich's finding Sitewerks, Inc. bid proposal to be non -responsive.
As required by the County's Purchasing Manual, I have consulted with the Assistant
County Administrator and the County Attorney concerning your written protest. As your bid
has been determined to be non -responsive for the reason setforth above, I do not believe that
JOSEPH E. SMITH, District No. 1 - DOUG COWARD, District No. 2 - PAULA A. LEWIS, District No. 3 - FRANNIE HUTCHINSON, District No. 4 - CHRIS CRAFT, District No. 5

Sitewerks, Inc. has standing to protest the award of the contract to another bidder.
Notwithstanding your lack of standing, I have determined, based on a recommendation from
Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, the Airport's consulting engineer, that the bid of Dickerson
Florida, did demonstrate a good faith effort in obtaining 7.5% DBE participation, as addressed
in FCC-29.
You have the right to appeal my decision to the Board of County Commissioners by filing
a written notice of appeal with the County Administrator within seven (7) days from receipt of
this letter.

Re: Runway 9L-27R and Parallel Taxiway System Bid Package 1: Earthwork
To whom it may concern:
Let this letter serve as protest to the award of the aforesaid project to Dickerson of
Florida. We request a meeting to expand on the following reasons:
• The bid items T- 901-1 and 2 do not equal the letter of intent that they are using
cn.
for minority participation. °'
• Material hauling is not a bid item and 45,000 + /- cy of material does riot match
any quantity in the bid. t ,�
• Part III of your specifications, Equal Employment Opportunity Requitement; -
plainly states MBE participation can be met with racially diverse employment.
• The difference in the bid does not equate to the cost of minority participation

SITEWERKS4 INC.

On July l 1, 2006 we submitted a bid for $5,153,377.16 and Dickerson submitted
$5,517,928.00 for the above referenced project, On Monday of the following week we
contacted purchasing to determine how to proceed and were told that Dickerson was
recommendedfor the project.. Purchasing further explained that we did not have anyminority
participation in our bid proposal.. Our proposal was based on self performance of the work.
T do not think we should be required to use or solicit other contractors for work we can
perform ourselves. We just completed the Ditch Relocation Project at the airport, whicJ.i was
under budget and on time. Our proposal and bond were submitted in the same foiinat, to self
perform the work, and no problems arose from that project.
I think it is important to note that Dickerson did not meet 7.5`%, DBE for this bid. The
quantities in the letters of intent and the quantities in the bidfor those items did not match.
The hid quantities were less.
We .request a meeting with you and the county commissioners to discuss this matter further.
We appreciate your attention tc� s matter and hope to here from you soon.

BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
PART V - DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM
DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES — 49 CFR PART 26
Policy
It is the policy of the Owner and the United States or State of Florida Department of Transportation that
disadvantaged business enterprises, as defined in the Owner's Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
("DBE") Participation Policy for services as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 shall have equal opportunity to
participate in the performance of services contracts awarded by the Owner,, including, but not limited to,
contracts financed in whole or in part with federal or State funds under this Contract. Consequently, the
requirements of the Owner's DBE Participation Policy apply to this Contract.
Contract Assurance (§26.13)
The contractor or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in
the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26
in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these
requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or
such other remedy, as the recipient deems appropriate.
Prompt Payment
The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory
performance of its contract no later than fourteen (14) days from the receipt of each payment the prime
contractor receives from Orlando Sanford Airport. Payments not made to subcontractors within fourteen
(14) days of the prime contractor's receipt of payment shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%)
per annum, computed beginning on the 14th day after payment is due. The prime contractor agrees
further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within fourteen (14) days after the
subcontractor's work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above
referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the Orlando Sanford
Airport. The right to receive interest on a payment under this section is not an exclusive remedy, and this
section does not modify any remedies available to any person under the terms of a contract or under any
other statute. Orlando Sanford Airport shall have the right to terminate the services of any obligor who
fails to make prompt payment to any obligee. This clause applies to both DBE and non -DBE
subcontractors.
DBE obligation
The Contractor agrees to ensure that DBE/MWBE firms shall have the maximum opportunity to
participate in the performance of contracts for subcontractor services, including, but not limited to, those
projects financed in whole or in part with federal or state funds provided under this Contract. In this
regard, the Contractor and all subcontractors shall take all necessary and reasonable steps in
accordance with the Owner's DBE/MWBE Participation Policies to ensure that DBE/MWBE firms have the
maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts. The Contractor and any subcontractors shall
not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin; or sex in the award and performance of Owner
contracts.
DBE Administration
1. Eligibility of DBE's: Those firms currently certified as DBE's by the Florida Department of
Transportation are eligible to participate as DBE's on this contract. A list of these firms can be .
obtained from the State, the consulting engineer, or the Sponsor. Firms certified as DBE's by
other states, or other U.S. DOT recipients are subject to the sponsor's acceptance. A bidder may
request a review of a potential DBE prior to the bid opening. The bidder should allow ten working
days for the sponsor's determination regarding certification of the potential DBE. Previous
acceptance of a DBE by the FAA, State or Sponsor does not ensure acceptance on this project.

NNE 2006
ST. LUCIE COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BID #06-084
RUNWAY 9L-27R AND PARALLEL TAXIWAY SYSTEM
BID PACKAGE l: EARTHWORK
Counting DBE Participation Towards DBE Goals: DBE participation toward attainment of the goal
will be computed on the basis of the subcontract prices agreed to between the contractor and
subcontractors for the contract items or portions of items being sublet, as shown on the DBE
Participation Form and attachments. Credit will only be given for use of DBE's that are certified
or accepted according to this specification. DBE participation shall be counted toward meeting
the DBE goal in accordance with the following:
a. Commercially Useful Function: The Sponsor shall count toward the DBE goal only those
expenditures to DBE's that perform a commercially useful function in the work of the
contract. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for
execution of a distinct element of work by actually performing, managing, and supervising
that work. To determine if a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, the
amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, and other relevant factors will be
evaluated. If consistent with industry practices, a DBE shall enter into a subcontract or
other contractual written agreement. A DBE Contractor may subcontract a portion of the
work up to the amount allowed under standard subcontracting contract provisions of
normal industry practices. A DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially
useful function if the DBE is performing outside these guidelines.
b. Materials and Supplies: The Sponsor shall count toward the DBE goal the expenditures
for materials and supplies obtained from DBE suppliers and manufacturers as described
below. The DBE's must assume the actual and contractual responsibility for the provision
of the materials and supplies:
(1) The entire expenditure to a DBE manufacturer will be counted toward the DBE
goal. A manufacturer must operate or maintain a factory or establishment that
produces on the premises the materials or supplies that are obtained by the
contractor.
(2) Sixty percent of expenditures to a DBE regular dealer will be counted toward the
DBE goal. A regular dealer must perform a commercially useful function in the
supply process including buying the materials or supplies, maintaining an
inventory and regularly selling materials to the public. Bulk items such as steel,
cement, gravel, stone and petroleum products need not be kept in stock, but the
dealer must own or operate distribution equipment.
(3) No credit will be given toward the DBE goal, if the prime contractor makes a
direct payment to a non -DBE material supplier. However, it will be permissible for
a material supplier to invoice the prime contractor and the DBE jointly and be
paid by the prime contractor making remittance to the DBE firm and material
supplier jointly.
(4) No credit, toward the DBE goal, will be given for the cost of materials or
equipment used in a DBE firm's work when those costs are paid by a deduction
from the prime contractor's payment(s) to the DBE firm.
C. Owner -Operator Trucking: The Sponsor shall count toward the DBE goal, the entire
delivery fee paid to DBE owner -operators performing trucking for the contractor, if they
appear on the contractor's payroll and separate records are furnished to the Sponsor
documenting the expenditures. The records shall include for each owner -operator; their
social security number; driver's license number, vehicle registration number; current
vehicle license number; truck number; and a complete record of the contract fees paid to
them.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BID #06-084
RUNWAY 9L-27R AND PARALLEL TAXIWAY SYSTEM
BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
d. Joint Venture: When a joint venture contract is involved, the Sponsor shall count towards
the DBE goal that portion of the contract total dollar value equal to the percentage of
ownership and control of each DBE firm within the joint venture. Such crediting is subject
to the sponsor's acceptance of the joint venture agreement. The Bidder must furnish the
joint venture agreement with the DBE Participation Form. The joint venture agreement
must include a detailed breakdown of the following:
(1) Contract responsibility of the DBE for specific contract items of work,
(2) Capital participation by the DBE,
(3) Specific equipment to be provided by the DBE,
(4) Specific responsibilities of the DBE regarding control of the joint venture,
(5) Specific workers and skills to be provided by the DBE, and
(6) Percentage distribution to the DBE of the projected profit or loss incurred by the
joint venture.
The joint venture must be certified by the sponsor prior to the sponsor submitting the
proposal to the FAA. A copy of the sponsor's certification letter must be submitted to
FAA along with the DBE Participation Form.
3. Award Documentation and Procedure: All bidders shall certify in the bid proposal their intent to
meet or exceed the established goal or to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the goal. Failure
to make such certification or failure to demonstrate good faith efforts will render a bid non
responsive.
a. DBE Participation Form: The apparent successful bidder must submit with the bid the
following information on the proposed DBE Participation Form attached to the Proposal.
The information shall demonstrate the contractor's intended participation by certified
DBEs. When the required information is not provided by the apparent low bidder the bid
will be ruled non responsive and will not be considered. The information furnished shall
consist of:
(1) The names, addresses, contact persons, phone numbers, and category of DBE
firms to be used on the contract;
(2) A list of the bid items of work to be performed by the DBE and the percent to be
credited toward the DBE goal;
(3) The dollar value of each of the DBE work items; and
(4) If the DBE goal is not met, a statement of why the goal could not be met and a
demonstration of the good faith efforts taken to meet the DBE goal.
b. Sponsor Evaluation: In selecting the lowest responsible bidder, the Sponsor will evaluate
the DBE information provided with the bid. The Sponsor may request additional DBE
information and may allow the bidders, up to 7 calendar days after bid submittal to
supplement or resubmit information concerning their proposed DBE participation. Prior to
awarding the contract the Sponsor will verify verbally and/or in writing that the information
submitted by the apparent successful bidder is accurate and complete.

BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
C. Good Faith Efforts: If the bidder is unable to meet the DBE goal, the bidder must submit
evidence of good faith efforts taken to meet the goal. Good faith efforts conducted after
the bid opening will not be considered adequate to fulfill these bid requirements. Good
faith efforts may include but are not limited to:
(1) Efforts to select portions of the work for performance by DBEs, in order to
increase the likelihood of achieving the DBE goal. This can include, but is not
limited to, breaking down contracts into economically feasible units to facilitate
DBE participation. Selection of portions of work shall be at least equal to the
DBE goal.
(2) Written notification to individual DBE's likely to participate in the contract sent at
least 7 calendar days prior to the bid opening. The notification shall list specific
items or types of work and shall be sent to a reasonable number of DBE's
qualified to participate in the contract.
(3) Efforts to negotiate with DBE's for specific items of work including:
(a) Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of DBE's who were
contacted, the dates of initial contact and information on further contacts
made to determine with certainty if the DBE's were interested. Personal
or phone contacts are expected;
(b) Description of the information provided to the DBE's regarding the plans,
specifications and estimated quantities for portions of the work to be
performed;
(c) Individual statements as to why agreements with DBE's were not
reached; and
(d) Information on each DBE contacted but rejected and the reasons for the
rejection.
(4) Efforts to assist the DBE's that need assistance in obtaining bonding, insurance,
or lines of credit required by the contractor.
(5) Documentation that qualified DBE's are not available or not interested.
(6) Advertisements in general circulation media, trade association publications and
disadvantaged -focus media concerning subcontracting opportunities.
(7) Efforts to use the services of available disadvantaged community organizations;
disadvantaged contractor's groups; local, state and federal disadvantaged
business assistance offices; and other organizations that provide assistance in
recruitment and placement of DBEs.
The demonstration of good faith efforts by the contractor must prove the contractor
actively and aggressively sought out DBE's to participate in the project. The following
actions would not be considered acceptable reasons for failure to meet the DBE goal and
would not constitute a good faith effort:
(1) The DBE was unable to provide adequate performance and/or payment bonds.
(2) A reasonable DBE bid was rejected based on price.
(3) The DBE would not agree to perform the subcontract work at the prime
contractors unit bid price.
(4) Union versus non -union status of the DBE firm.
(5) The prime contractor would normally perform all or most of the work included in
this contract.
(6) The prime contractor solicited DBE participation by mail only.

ST, LUCIE COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BID 406-084
RUNWAY 9L-27R AND PARALLEL TAXIWAY SYSTEM
BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
4. Post Award Compliance: If the contract is awarded on less than full DBE goal participation, the
contractor is not relieved of the responsibility to make a determined effort to meet the full goal
amount during the life of the contract. In such a case, the contractor shall continue good faith
efforts throughout the life of the contract to increase the DBE participation to meet the contract
goal.
If a DBE is unwilling or unable to perform the work specified, the contractor shall request from the
Sponsor and FAA, relief from the obligation to use that DBE. Efforts will be made by the
contractor to acquire from the DBE a letter which states the reason the DBE is unwilling or unable
to complete its obligations under the project. If this results in a DBE contract shortfall, the
contractor shall immediately take steps to obtain another certified DBE to perform an equal dollar
value of allowable credit. If a new DBE cannot be found, the contractor shall submit evidence of
good faith efforts within 15 calendar days of the request for relief. The contractor shall submit the
new DBE's name, address, work items and the dollar amount of each item. The sponsor and the
FAA shall approve the new DBE before the DBE starts work.
If the contractor fails to conform to the approved DBE participation or if it becomes evident that
the remaining work will not meet the approved participation, then the contractor shall submit
evidence showing either how the contractor intends to meet the DBE participation, or what
circumstances have changed affecting the DBE participation. If the sponsor is not satisfied with
the evidence, then liquidated damages may be assessed for the difference between the approved
and actual DBE participation.
5. Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep records as necessary to determine compliance
with the DBE obligations. The records shall include but are not limited to:
a. Record of DBE Participation: The names of disadvantaged and non -disadvantaged
subcontractors, regular dealers, manufacturers, consultant and service agencies; the
type of work or materials or services performed on or incorporated in the project; and the
actual value of such work.
b. Efforts to Utilize DBE Firms: Documentation of all efforts made to seek out
disadvantaged contractor organizations and individual disadvantaged contractors for
work on this project. All correspondence, personal contacts, telephone calls, etc., to
obtain the services of DBE's should be documented.
C. Final DBE Certification: Upon completion of the individual DBE firm's work, the prime
contractor shall submit a certification attesting to the actual work performed by the DBE
firm and the amount paid the DBE firm. This certification shall be signed by both the
prime contractor and the DBE firm.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Desiree Cimino, Interim Purchasing Director
DATE: September 19, 2006
RE: Award of Bid #06-084 — Runway 9L-27R and Parallel Taxiway System
BACKGROUND:
On July 12, 2006, submittals received for Bid #06-084 were opened. One thousand one
hundred and eighty-two (1182) companies were notified, thirty documents were distributed,
and two (2) submittals were received. Below is a summary of the two bids received:
Sitewerks, Inc. Dickerson Florida, Inc.
Base Bid
$3,315,082.85
$3,671,520.00
Add Alternate 1
$932,385.92
$1,020,908.00
Add Alternate 2
$282,298.51
$383,210.00
Add Alternate 3
$237,595.99
$194,480.00
Add Alternate 4
$392,091.48
$247,710.00
Total
$5,159,454.75
$5,517,828.00
After review of the proposals, we determined that Sitewerks, Inc. did not meet the
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) Requirements set forth in the contract documents
and required by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Sitewerks, Inc. committed
to provide 0% DBE utilization on this project and did not provide documentation demonstrating
a good faith effort to meet the 14.1 % goal, therefore Sitewerks' bid was deemed non-
responsive.
On July 28, 2006, Sitewerks, Inc. sent a Letter of Protest to the Purchasing Department. In
accordance with the Purchasing Manual, I consulted with the Assistant County Administrator
and the County Attorney concerning the written protest before deciding that Sitewerks has no
standing to protest the Intent to Award to Dickerson Florida, Inc.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board award Bid #06-084 to the second low bidder,
Dickerson Florida, Inc. for the completion of the base bid and alternates 1, 2, and 4,
resulting in a total award amount of $5,323,348.00 and authorize the Chairman to sign
the Contract as prepared by the County Attorney.
Attachments: 1) Bid Tabulation Sheet
2) Letter dated July 13, 2006 to Dianna Lewis from Craig Sucich, PBSU Project Manager
3) DBE Section of Bid Packet
4) Protest Letter dated July 28, 2006 from Sitewerks, Inc.
5) Response Letter dated August 21, 2006 from Desiree Cimino
6) Letter dated August 28, 2006 to Doug Anderson
7) Response dated September 15, 2006 to John Sanders

Re: Runway 9L-27R and Parallel Taxiway System
Bid Package 1 (06-084): Earthwork
Recommendation of Construction Contract Award
Ms. Lewis:
PBS&J has reviewed both sets of proposal documents received at the July 12th, 2006 bid opening for the above
referenced project. A tabulation of bids was compiled and a copy is enclosed for your reference.
A summary of Bids are as follows:
Sitewerks. Inc.
Base Bid
$3,315,082.85
Add Alternate 1
$932,385.92
Add Alternate 2
$282,298.51
Add Alternate 3
$237,595.99
Add Alternate 4
$392,091.48
Dickerson Florida, Inc.
Base Bid $3,671,520.00
Add Alternate 1 $1,020,908.00
Add Alternate 2 $383,210.00
Add Alternate 3 $194,480.00
Add Alternate 4 $247,710.00
Sitewerks, Inc.submitted the low base bid in the amount of $3,315,082.85. Considering that the two bids were
within 10% of each other, and the low bid was approximately 27% below our engineer's estimate of probable
construction cost, we feel that the project developed good interest from contractors and resulted in competitive bids.
After review of the proposal documents, we have determined that Sitewerks, Inc. has not met the DBE requirements
set forth in the contract documents. Part V, Section 3 of the Federal Contract Clauses (page FCC-29) states:
`Award Documentation and Procedure: All bidders shall certify in the bid proposal their intent to meet or exceed
the established goal or to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the goal. Failure to make such certification or
failure to demonstrate good faith efforts will render a bid non responsive. "
Sitewerks, Inc. has committed to provide 0% DBE utilization on this project and has provided no documentation
demonstrating a good faith effort to meet the goal of 14.1%. PBS&J finds Sitewerks, Inc.'s bid non responsive.
Based on the available funding, we recommend you award the contract to Dickerson Florida, Inc. for the completion
of the Base Bid and Add Alternates 1, 2, and 4, resulting in a total award amount of $5,323,348.00.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 407-647-7275 ext. 4263.
Sincerely,
PBS&J

BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
PART V - DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM
DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES — 49 CFR PART 26
Policy
It is the policy of the Owner and the United States or State of Florida Department of Transportation that
disadvantaged business enterprises, as defined in the Owner's Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
("DBE") Participation Policy for services as defined in 49 CFR Part 26 shall have equal opportunity to
participate in the performance of services contracts awarded by the Owner, including, but not limited to,
contracts financed in whole or in part with federal or State funds under this Contract. Consequently, the
requirements of the Owner's DBE Participation Policy apply to this Contract.
Contract Assurance (§26.13)
The contractor or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in
the performance of this contract. The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26
in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts. Failure by the contractor to carry out these
requirements is a material breach of this contract, which may result in the termination of this contract or
such other remedy, as the recipient deems appropriate.
Prompt Payment
The prime contractor agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory
performance of its contract no later than fourteen (14) days from the receipt of each payment the prime
contractor receives from Orlando Sanford Airport. Payments not made to subcontractors within fourteen
(14) days of the prime contractor's receipt of payment shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%)
per annum, computed beginning on the 14th day after payment is due. The prime contractor agrees
further to return retainage payments to each subcontractor within fourteen (14) days after the
subcontractor's work is satisfactorily completed. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above
referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the Orlando Sanford
Airport. The right to receive interest on a payment under this section is not an exclusive remedy, and this
section does not modify any remedies available to any person under the terms of a contract or under any
other statute. Orlando Sanford Airport shall have the right to terminate the services of any obligor who
fails to make prompt payment to any obligee. This clause applies to both DBE and non -DBE
subcontractors.
DBE Obligation
The Contractor agrees to ensure that DBE/MWBE firms shall have the maximum opportunity to
participate in the performance of contracts for subcontractor services, including, but not limited to, those
projects financed in whole or in part with federal or state funds provided under this Contract. In this
regard, the Contractor and all subcontractors shall take all necessary and reasonable steps in
accordance with the Owner's DBE/MWBE Participation Policies to ensure that DBE/MWBE firms have the
maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts. The Contractor and any subcontractors shall
not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of Owner
contracts.
DBE Administration
1. Eligibility of DBE's: Those firms currently certified as DBE's by the Florida Department of
Transportation are eligible to participate as DBE's on this contract. A list of these firms can be
obtained from the State, the consulting engineer, or the Sponsor. Firms certified as DBE's by
other states, or other U.S. DOT recipients are subject to the sponsor's acceptance. A bidder may
request a review of a potential DBE prior to the bid opening. The bidder should allow ten working
days for the sponsor's determination regarding certification of the potential DBE. Previous
acceptance of a DBE by the FAA, State or Sponsor does not ensure acceptance on this project.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
RUNWAY 9L-27R AND PARALLEL TAXIWAY SYSTEM
BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
JUNE 2006
BID #06-084
Counting DBE Participation Towards DBE Goals: DBE participation toward attainment of the goal
will be computed on the basis of the subcontract prices agreed to between the contractor and
subcontractors for the contract items or portions of items being sublet, as shown on the DBE
Participation Form and attachments. Credit will only be given for use of DBE's that are certified
or accepted according to this specification. DBE participation shall be counted toward meeting
the DBE goal in accordance with the following:
a. Commercially Useful Function: The Sponsor shall count toward the DBE goal only those
expenditures to DBE's that perform a commercially useful function in the work of the
contract. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for
execution of a distinct element of work by actually performing, managing, and supervising
that work. To determine if a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, the
amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, and other relevant factors will be
evaluated. If consistent with industry practices, a DBE shall enter into a subcontract or
other contractual written agreement. A DBE Contractor may subcontract a portion of the
work up to the amount allowed under standard subcontracting contract provisions of
normal industry practices. A DBE is presumed not to be performing a commercially
useful function if the DBE is performing outside these guidelines.
b. Materials and Supplies: The Sponsor shall count toward the DBE goal the expenditures
for materials and supplies obtained from DBE suppliers and manufacturers as described
below. The DBE's must assume the actual and contractual responsibility for the provision
of the materials and supplies:
(1) The entire expenditure to a DBE manufacturer will be counted toward the DBE
goal. A manufacturer must operate or maintain a factory or establishment that
produces on the premises the materials or supplies that are obtained by the
contractor.
(2) Sixty percent of expenditures to a DBE regular dealer will be counted toward the
DBE goal. A regular dealer must perform a commercially useful function in the
supply process including buying the materials or supplies, maintaining an
inventory and regularly selling materials to the public. Bulk items such as steel,
cement, gravel, stone and petroleum products need not be kept in stock, but the
dealer must own or operate distribution equipment.
(3) No credit will be given toward the DBE goal, if the prime contractor makes a
direct payment to a non -DBE material supplier. However, it will be permissible for
a material supplier to invoice the prime contractor and the DBE jointly and be
paid by the prime contractor making remittance to the DBE firm and material
supplier jointly.
(4) No credit, toward the DBE goal, will be given for the cost of materials or
equipment used in a DBE firm's work when those costs are paid by a deduction
from the prime contractor's payment(s) to the DBE firm.
C. Owner -Operator Trucking: The Sponsor shall count toward the DBE goal, the entire
delivery fee paid to DBE owner -operators performing trucking for the contractor, if they
appear on the contractor's payroll and separate records are furnished to the Sponsor
documenting the expenditures. The records shall include for each owner -operator; their
social security number; driver's license number; vehicle registration number; current
vehicle license number; truck number; and a complete record of the contract fees paid to
them.
FCC-28
ST. LUCIE COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT JUNE 2006
RUNWAY 9L-27R AND PARALLEL TAXIWAY SYSTEM BID #06-084
BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
d. Joint Venture: When a joint venture contract is involved, the Sponsor shall count towards
the DBE goal that portion of the contract total dollar value equal to the percentage of
ownership and control of each DBE firm within the joint venture. Such crediting is subject
to the sponsor's acceptance of the joint venture agreement. The Bidder must furnish the
joint venture agreement with the DBE Participation Form. The joint venture agreement
must include a detailed breakdown of the following:
(1) Contract responsibility of the DBE for specific contract items of work,
(2) Capital participation by the DBE,
(3) Specific equipment to be provided by the DBE,
(4) Specific responsibilities of the DBE regarding control of the joint venture,
(5) Specific workers and skills to be provided by the DBE, and
(6) Percentage distribution to the DBE of the projected profit or loss incurred by the
joint venture.
The joint venture must be certified by the sponsor prior to the sponsor submitting the
proposal to the FAA. A copy of the sponsor's certification letter must be submitted to
FAA along with the DBE Participation Form.
3. Award Documentation and Procedure: All bidders shall certify in the bid proposal their intent to
meet or exceed the established goal or to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the goal. Failure
to make such certification or failure to demonstrate good faith efforts will render a bid non
responsive.
a. DBE Participation Form: The apparent successful bidder must submit with the bid the
following information on the proposed DBE Participation Form attached to the Proposal.
The information shall demonstrate the contractor's intended participation by certified
DBEs. When the required information is not provided by the apparent low bidder the bid
will be ruled non responsive and will not be considered. The information furnished shall
consist of:
(1) The names, addresses, contact persons, phone numbers, and category of DBE
firms to be used on the contract;
(2) A list of the bid items of work to be performed by the DBE and the percent to be
credited toward the DBE goal;
(3) The dollar value of each of the DBE work items; and
(4) If the DBE goal is not met, a statement of why the goal could not be met and a
demonstration of the good faith efforts taken to meet the DBE goal.
Sponsor Evaluation: In selecting the lowest responsible bidder, the Sponsor will evaluate
the DBE information provided with the bid. The Sponsor may request additional DBE
information and may allow the bidders, up to 7 calendar days after bid submittal to
supplement or resubmit information concerning their proposed DBE participation. Prior to
awarding the contract the Sponsor will verify verbally and/or in writing that the information
submitted by the apparent successful bidder is accurate and complete.
FCC-29
ST. LUCIE COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT JUNE 2006
RUNWAY 9L-27R AND PARALLEL TAXIWAY SYSTEM BID #06-084
BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
Good Faith Efforts: If the bidder is unable to meet the DBE goal, the bidder must submit
evidence of good faith efforts taken to meet the goal. Good faith efforts conducted after
the bid opening will not be considered adequate to fulfill these bid requirements. Good
faith efforts may include but are not limited to:
(1) Efforts to select portions of the work for performance by DBE's, in order to
increase the likelihood of achieving the DBE goal. This can include, but is not
limited to, breaking down contracts into economically feasible units to facilitate
DBE participation. Selection of portions of work shall be at least equal to the
DBE goal.
(2) Written notification to individual DBE's likely to participate in the contract sent at
least 7 calendar days prior to the bid opening. The notification shall list specific
items or types of work and shall be sent to a reasonable number of DBE's
qualified to participate in the contract.
(3) Efforts to negotiate with DBE's for specific items of work including:
(a) Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of DBE's who were
contacted, the dates of initial contact and information on further contacts
made to determine with certainty if the DBE's were interested. Personal
or phone contacts are expected;
(b) Description of the information provided to the DBE's regarding the plans,
specifications and estimated quantities for portions of the work to be
performed;
(c) Individual statements as to why agreements with DBE's were not
reached; and
(d) Information on each DBE contacted but rejected and the reasons for the
rejection.
(4) Efforts to assist the DBE's that need assistance in obtaining bonding, insurance,
or lines of credit required by the contractor.
(5) Documentation that qualified DBE's are not available or not interested.
(6) Advertisements in general circulation media, trade association publications and
disadvantaged -focus media concerning subcontracting opportunities.
(7) Efforts to use the services of available disadvantaged community organizations;
disadvantaged contractor's groups; local, state and federal disadvantaged
business assistance offices; and other organizations that provide assistance in
recruitment and placement of DBE's.
The demonstration of good faith efforts by the contractor must prove the contractor
actively and aggressively sought out DBE's to participate in the project. The following
actions would not be considered acceptable reasons for failure to meet the DBE goal and
would not constitute a good faith effort:
(1) The DBE was unable to provide adequate performance and/or payment bonds.
(2) A reasonable DBE bid was rejected based on price.
(3) The DBE would not agree to perform the subcontract work at the prime
contractors unit bid price.
(4) Union versus non -union status of the DBE firm.
(5) The prime contractor would normally perform all or most of the work included in
this contract.
(6) The prime contractor solicited DBE participation by mail only.
FCC-30
ST. LUCIE COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT JUNE 2006
RUNWAY 9L-27R AND PARALLEL TAXIWAY SYSTEM BID #06-084
BID PACKAGE 1: EARTHWORK
Post Award Compliance: If the contract is awarded on less than full DBE goal participation, the
contractor is not relieved of the responsibility to make a determined effort to meet the full goal
amount during the life of the contract. In such a case, the contractor shall continue good faith
efforts throughout the life of the contract to increase the DBE participation to meet the contract
goal.
If a DBE is unwilling or unable to perform the work specified, the contractor shall request from the
Sponsor and FAA, relief from the obligation to use that DBE. Efforts will be made by the
contractor to acquire from the DBE a letter which states the reason the DBE is unwilling or unable
to complete its obligations under the project. If this results in a DBE contract shortfall, the
contractor shall immediately take steps to obtain another certified DBE to perform an equal dollar
value of allowable credit. If a new DBE cannot be found, the contractor shall submit evidence of
good faith efforts within 15 calendar days of the request for relief. The contractor shall submit the
new DBE's name, address, work items and the dollar amount of each item. The sponsor and the
FAA shall approve the new DBE before the DBE starts work.
If the contractor fails to conform to the approved DBE participation or if it becomes evident that
the remaining work will not meet the approved participation, then the contractor shall submit
evidence showing either how the contractor intends to meet the DBE participation, or what
circumstances have changed affecting the DBE participation. If the sponsor is not satisfied with
the evidence, then liquidated damages may be assessed for the difference between the approved
and actual DBE participation.
Records and Reports: The contractor shall keep records as necessary to determine compliance
with the DBE obligations. The records shall include but are not limited to:
a. Record of DBE Participation: The names of disadvantaged and non -disadvantaged
subcontractors, regular dealers, manufacturers, consultant and service agencies; the
type of work or materials or services performed on or incorporated in the project; and the
actual value of such work.
b. Efforts to Utilize DBE Firms: Documentation of all efforts made to seek out
disadvantaged contractor organizations and individual disadvantaged contractors for
work on this project. All correspondence, personal contacts, telephone calls, etc., to
obtain the services of DBE's should be documented.
C. Final DBE Certification: Upon completion of the individual DBE firm's work, the prime
contractor shall submit a certification attesting to the actual work performed by the DBE
firm and the amount paid the DBE firm. This certification shall be signed by both the
prime contractor and the DBE firm.

Re: Runway 9L-27R and Parallel Taxiway System Bid Package 1: Earthwork
To whom it may concern:
Let this letter serve as protest to the award of the aforesaid project to Dickerson of
Florida. We request a meeting to expand on the following reasons:
• The bid items T- 901-1 and 2 do not equal the letter of intent that they are using
for minority participation.
• Material hauling is not a bid item and 45,000 + /- ey of material does not match
any quantity in the bid.
• Part HI of your specifications, Equal Employment Opportunity Requirement,
plainly states MBE participation can be met with racially diverse employment.
• The difference in the bid does not equate to the cost of minority participation.

RE: Bid Protest - 06-083 Runway 9L-27R A Parallel Taxiway: Earthwork
Dear Mr. Sanders:
Your letter of July 28, 2006, protesting the Consultant's recommendation of award for
Bid #06-083 Runway 9L-27R and Parallel Taxiway: Earthwork, to Dickerson Florida, Inc. was
received by our office.
I have read your letter of protest and also the letter of recommendation of award,
received from Craig Sucich of Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan. I have reviewed bid
proposals that were submitted by both 5itewerks, Inc. and Dickerson Florida, Inc.
Page FCC-29, "Award Documentation and Procedure" of the bid package states: "All
bidders shall certify in the bid proposal their intent to meet or exceed the established goal or
to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the goal. Failure to make such certification or
failure to demonstrate good faith efforts will render a bid non -responsive."
5itewerks, Inc. has committed to provide 0% DBE utilization on this project and has
provided no documentation demonstrating a good faith effort to meet the goal of 14.1%.
Based upon the DBE requirements that were in the bid package (page FCC-29), I concur with
Craig Sucich's finding 5itewerks, Inc. bid proposal to be non -responsive.
As required by the County's Purchasing Manual, I have consulted with the Assistant
County Administrator and the County Attorney concerning your written protest. As your bid
has been determined to be non -responsive for the reason setforth above, I do not believe that

Sitewerks, Inc. has standing to protest the award of the contract to another bidder.
Notwithstanding your lack of standing, I have determined, based on a recommendation from
Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jernigan, the Airport's consulting engineer, that the bid of Dickerson
Florida, did demonstrate a good faith effort in obtaining 7.5% DBE participation, as addressed
in FCC-29.
You have the right to appeal my decision to the Board of County Commissioners by filing
a written notice of appeal with the County Administrator within seven (7) days from receipt of
this letter.

Re: Bid Protest 06-083 Runway 9L-27R & Parallel Taxiway: Earthwork
Dear Mr. Anderson,
I am in receipt of the letter from the purchasing department dated August 21, 2006 rejecting
our protest and would like to appeal to the Board of County Commissioners.
On July 11, 2006 we submitted a bid for $5,153,377.16 and Dickerson submitted
$5,517,828.00 for the above referenced project. On Monday of the following week we
contacted purchasing to determine how to proceed and were told that Dickerson was
recommended for the project. Purchasing further explained that we did not have any minority
participation in our bid proposal. Our proposal was based on self performance of the work.
I do not think we should be required to use or solicit other contractors for work we can
perform ourselves. We just completed the Ditch Relocation Project at the airport, which was
under budget and on time. Our proposal and bond were submitted in the same format, to self
perform the work, and no problems arose from that project.
I think it is important to note that Dickerson did not meet 7.5% DBE for this bid. The
quantities in the letters of intent and the quantities in the bid for those items did not match.
The bid quantities were less.
We request a meeting with you and the county commissioners to discuss this matter urthe?
We appreciate your attention to this matter and hope to here from you soon.
Sanders

as if it were an original party to the agreement.
I. This agreement shall bind the successors, assigns and legal representatives of the
Grantee and of any legal entity that succeeds to the obligation of the DIVISION.
m. This agreement shall be terminated by the DIVISION because of failure of the

MEMORANDUM
ST. LUCIE COUNTY LIBRARY
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Susan Kilmer, Library DirectorA"-a- - 4�
DATE: September 18, 2006
SUBJECT: Long Range Plan for Library Services — one year extension
The Library is required under Chapter 257.17 to file a long range plan with the
Department of State/State Library of Florida/Bureau of Library Development every three
— five years to comply with the requirements of the State Aid to Libraries grant program.
The last set of documents submitted to the State was the Library's Long Range Plan one
year extension for 2005-06.
The State Library again granted permission to St. Lucie County to submit a one year
extension to the current plan due to the circumstances surrounding the coordination of a
community long range planning meeting with State Library Staff. A planning session
was held on Saturday, September 16, 2006 with the follow-up meeting scheduled for
November 2, 2006.
The Library Advisory Board approved the revised one year extension long range plan at
their August 21, 2006 Board meeting. Library supervisory staff also had input on the
plan with many of their suggestions being implemented in the final draft.
The Library Long Range Plan extension covers the Library for October 1, 2006 to
September 30, 2007. The new five year plan 2007-2012 planning process just began
with the goal of having a draft to the Board of County Commissioners in June 2007.
INTRODUCTION
Long Range Plan for Library Services
October 2006 - September 2007
One year extension
St. Lucie County is governed by a five (5) member Board of County
Commissioners, within the County there are three (3) municipalities: City of Fort
Pierce, City of Port St. Lucie and St. Lucie Village. St. Lucie County covers 626
square miles with 583.5 being land miles and 42.5 being water miles.
The population in 2006 is over 240,000 with a projection of 246,991 by the
year 2010. The population group ages 45-64 is estimated to show the largest
increase in growth (24%) over the next five years; ages 15-24 is estimated to
increase by 15 %; and ages 65+ is estimated to increase by 6 % with ages 0-14 and
25-44 to show a slight decrease in population. St. Lucie County is rapidly
becoming a scientific research center with the Smithsonian Marine Center, US
Horticulture Researach Laboratory, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution,
University of Florida Agriculture Lab and OxBow Environmental Center all
opening within the last 10 years. A new research park is planned within the
county which will incorporate other research facilities, for example FAU will be
holding classes at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. Torrey Pines
medical research company from LaJolla, California has selected Port St. Lucie
to move its medical research center in the coming years.
The St. Lucie County Library System began as an Association Library
operating under a corporate charter, funded primarily through donations, gifts
and bequests. The Library became a department of County government in
October 1977 with all funding provided by the County. The County Commission
authorized the establishment of a Library Advisory Board at the same time as the
library was taken over by the County. The Friends of the St. Lucie County
Library, Inc., were formed in 1978 and have been a major financial supporter of
the Library System largely due to bequests left to the organization.
St. Lucie County Library serves the community with five (5) facilities, one
(1) Bookmobile; a cooperative library site with Indian River Community College
and Florida Atlantic University in St. Lucie West; nursing home rotating
collections; and a Books -by -mail service for homebound citizens. The Library
provides 76 hours of service per week, with each facility open three (3) nights per
week, every Saturday and two (2) facilities open Sunday afternoon. St. Lucie
County Library System has an informal reciprocal borrowing agreement with
Martin County Library System. St. Lucie County begun discussions with
Indian River County Library System to offer reciprocal borrowing privileges in
2006; more discussion is needed with the anticipated growth in the north
County area.
St. Lucie County was hit by two hurricanes in September 2004 - the library
system sustained damage to three buildings. The Zora Neale Hurston Branch
was closed from September 2004 - April 27, 2005 due to extensive damage done
to the interior of the building. The Fort Pierce Branch experienced roof damage
and leakage around the windows on the 2nd floor. Water intrusion on the first
floor due to the storm surge during both Hurricane Frances and Jeanne required
the removal of the carpet. This site was closed for approximately eight weeks
from the time Hurricane Frances hit and the repairs completed after Hurricane
Jeanne. The library was closed an additional week in May for the recarpeting of
the first floor. Lakewood Park Branch had the roof lift up and then fall back
down which created the need for the replacement of the roof. The Bookmobile
service was limited due to the extensive damage sustained on north and south
Hutchinson Island; services were restored in October 2006. This plan is a one
year extension to the existing plan (2005-2006) with staff starting the process to
update the long range plan for 2007 through 2012.

PLANNING SESSION
A planning session was held May 2000 with representatives of the Friends
of the St. Lucie County Library, Inc., St. Lucie County Library Advisory Board,
Library Supervisory staff and other County employees. The session was
conducted by State Library Consultant, Victoria Pendleton. The participants
went through the SWAT process of looking at the community and library as it
currently stands and then looking at where everyone would like to see the library
move towards. A similar session was also conducted in 1995/96 with similar
results. All comments and suggestions were recorded and put into a document
for future reference.
After the planning session the Library Advisory Board worked with the
Library Director on a bi-monthly basis to get updated information on how the
process was progressing. The Library Advisory Board focused many of their
meetings on the capital needs of the library and helped in developing the Capital
Improvement Element for the County' s Comprehensive Plan. Similar
discussions took place during Library Professional and Management Team
meetings.
The Capital Improvement Element of the County' s Comprehensive Plan
includes the following proposed projects over the next ten years:
Western Port St. Lucie Branch Library - to meet the needs of a request
made by the Port St. Lucie City Council during impact fees negotiations-15,000
sq.ft.
Central or Headquarters Library - property currently exists on South 25th
between RiversEdge Elementary School and Southern Oaks Middle School for a
library with approximately 40,000 sq.ft.
Expansion of Morningside Branch Library - current square footage 20,000
sq. ft. (with 6500 sq.ft. serving as a technology lab) - eventual build out of
complex would be 35,000 sq.ft. - building opened January 1993.
Expansion of Zora Neale Hurston Branch Library - current square footage
5,200 sq.ft. - eventual build out of facility would be 10,000 sq.ft. - building opened
December 1991. Plan to build a 10,000 sq.ft. expansion, with two floors, to the
current building.
Expansion of Port St. Lucie Branch - current square footage 4,800 sq.ft. -
undetermined expansion possibilities due to parking limitations - building
opened in 1970 with an expansion in 1980 and renovations in 2001. Recent staff
discussion led to some consideration of meeting with the Recreation
Department to see if they would consider moving the shuffle board courts to
Sportsman Park. This would allow addition acreage to build a three story
library by demolishing the existing building. Use the first level for parking
and then 2nd & 3rd floor for a new library - at least 15,000 square feet.
South Hutchinson Island Branch Library/storefront facility - with the
Jensen Beach Branch Library of the Martin County Library System moving to the
center part of the city the residents of the Island have voiced a concern over the
lack of service available to them - the various mobile home parks/condominiums
do receive Bookmobile service but that is only twice a month with stops lasting
30 to 45 minutes.
No specific time frame was assigned to this list of projects. The Library
currently has 63,000 square feet of facility space or .33 sq.ft. per capita of facility -
with the State standard being .6 sq.ft. per capita the County should have 115,617
square feet of facility space - which means we are currently 52,617 sq.ft. below
the State standard.

provisions, will specify that the design and management of those lands transferred
from the City to the County through the Heathcote project shall be executed
according to written plans approved by the City of Pierce, Heathcote Botanical
Gardens, and St. Lucie County.
BACKGROUND: The Heathcote Botanical Park expansion project is an effort to establish an 842-acre
linear park that will extend 4.7 miles from central Fort Pierce to Midway Road. Funds
of $4.19 million from Florida Communities Trust (FCT) and donation of acreage by
the City of Fort Pierce will be utilized to acquire the lands currently owned by the City.
These lands are located at the site of the City of Fort Pierce Public Works
Compound. The attached map delineates lands that will be acquired from the City in
the first phase of this expansion. The FCT grant to be used for the acquisition
requires that the City vacate the properties prior to acquisition. The City has agreed
to vacate the lands prior to January 2007 and has also agreed to confirm their
willingness in a letter. However, the letter will also stipulate that their agreement to
vacate is only being done with the understanding that an interlocal agreement will be
developed that will specify that design and management of the properties to be
transferred to the County as part of the Heathcote expansion project shall be
executed according to written plans jointly approved by the City, County and
Heathcote. Approval of this agenda item provides staff with the Board's approval to
develop the interlocal agreement with the stipulation that the design and
maintenance plans are to be executed only with the approval of all three parties.
FUNDS AVAIL: N/A
PREVIOUS ACTION: On 4/27/2004, the BOCC approved a grant in the amount of $27,000 for a

an expenditure of $15,000 for appraisals of properties involved in this project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board authorize the development of an interlocal agreement
between the City of Fort Pierce, Heathcote Botanical Gardens, and St. Lucie County
that, among other provisions, will specify that the design and management of those
lands transferred from the City to the County through the Heathcote project shall be
executed according to written plans approved by the City of Pierce, Heathcote
Botanical Gardens and St. Lucie County.

MEMORANDUM
06-258
TO: Michael Powley, County Engineer
FROM: Michael Harvey, Engineer Intern M !+
DATE: September 18, 2oo6
SUBJECT: Harmony Heights Stormwater Improvements Phase I
Harmony Heights is located on North 41st, 42nd, and west to 53rd Streets between two drainage
canals: South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Canal 25 and Ft. Pierce Farms
Water Control District (FPFWCD) Canal 1. The subdivision was developed before State water
quality regulations were developed and therefore has poor storm water conveyances and lack of
storm water treatment areas. During rain events, the storm water outfalls directly into the two
canals, both of which discharge into the Indian River Lagoon by means of Taylor Creek, which is
approximately one -quarter mile from this site.
Water quality of the runoff from this area is poor and contains debris, sediment and
contaminants, such as oil, grease, fertilizers and pesticides. These deposits into St Lucie
County's natural surface water bodies, most notably the Indian River Lagoon, which is already
undergoing major dredging to remove all of the above contaminants and silt deposits. These
pollutants have been determined to be very detrimental to the health of the area's natural
resources in addition to the Lagoon.
The primary purpose of the project is stormwater discharge attenuation to reduce fresh water
and stormwater pollutants outfall to the Indian River Lagoon. The project will reduce
stormwater runoff from Harmony Heights subdivision into the SFWMD Canal 25 and FPFWCD
Canal 1. Detention ponds and swales are to be constructed within the Harmony Heights
subdivision to additionally treat the outfall.
On January 15, 2002 the Board approved Work Authorization No. 3 with BCI Engineers to
prepare the Harmony Heights Stormwater Master Plan. The Master Plan is now completed and
was permitted earlier this year through both the SFWMD and the FPFWCD.
On July 16, 2002 the Board approved Work Authorization No. 4 with BCI Engineers for the
design and permitting of the Harmony Heights Stormwater Improvements Phase I. Due to the
amount of time between the beginning of the design and the present date, as well as the recent
growth in the neighborhood and it was determined that the plans need to be updated. However,
the continuing services contract with BCI has expired and was not renewed. Therefore, it was
determined that a new consultant should begin evaluating and possibly redesigning the plans.
This work authorization with Inwood Consulting Engineers is for this work.

EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF WORK (Rev 2)
Harmony Heights Phase I Design Revisions
BACKGROUND
Harmony Heights is a 300+ acre subdivision located in unincorporated St. Lucie County northwest of
the City of Ft. Pierce. The subdivision is bounded to the north by the Ft. Pierce Farms Water Control
District (FPFWCD) Canal No. 1, by 415t Street to the east, by South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) Canal No. 25 to the south and by Keen Road to the west. The subdivision is located in T34S,
R40E, Section 31.
A Stormwater Master Plan was developed for the area in 2003 by BCI Engineers and Scientists, Inc.
(BCI). Based on the Master Plan, surface water runoff patterns are generally from the central portion of
the project area (Juanita Avenue) to both the north and south. Due to the lack of stormwater
management infrastructure, stormwater generally builds up on the surface and flows into various
depressional areas both adjacent to the roads and in rear -lot areas. These depressions sheet flow toward
cross drain culverts and eventually into existing roadway swales that are more evident toward the
northern and southern roadways. The swales eventually convey flow to 13 primary outfall structures that
discharge into the two canal systems. The roads in the subdivision are generally unpaved with the
exception of Juanita Avenue and San Diego Avenue.
The Stormwater Master Plan recommended a program of stormwater drainage and roadway
improvements. The subdivision was divided into 5 phases to facilitate design and construction. A
conceptual permit for these improvements was subsequently granted through the SFWMD and FPFWCD
in spring 2006. At the same time, a permit was also granted for the construction of Phase I of the
project, based on preliminary plans prepared by BCI.
It is the County's desire to have Inwood complete the design plans for Phase I of the subdivision, as
well as prepare construction bid documents. Phase I drainage and roadway improvements as defined by
the Master Plan and as indicated on the preliminary plans includes the following streets:
Entire limits of North 41st Street (N2400 linear feet)
Entire limits of North 42"d Street (-2300 linear feet)
North 43`d Street from the south end to Avienda Avenue, then from Matanzas Avenue to the
north end (N1600 linear feet)
San Diego Avenue from North 415t Street to North 43rd Street (-600 linear feet)
Juanita Avenue from North 415t Street to North 43`d Street (-600 linear feet)
• Avienda Avenue from North 415t Street to North 42rd Street (-300 linear feet)
Matanzas Avenue from North 415t Street to North 43`d Street (-600 linear feet)
This is a total of approximately 8400 linear feet (-1.6 miles). The design included the paving of the
unpaved roadways. The preliminary plans also delineated 5 pond sites. It is uncertain whether or not
these identified parcels are currently available. As such, the scope will include an updated pond siting
analysis to determine pond locations. The scope will also include a redesign of the proposed roadway
swale and inlet/pipe collection system as necessary to accommodate the proposed pond sites. The
project outfalls may also require upgrading and/or redesign.
The following scope of work summarizes the efforts proposed by Inwood to complete this project.

along Sunshine Boulevard, east of U.S. Highway 1 and west of the New Canal, in Ft. Pierce,
Florida. The original roadway improvements were provided as part of The Grove Condominium
Development dated January 19, 1982.
Currently the area is poorly drained, and is served by exfiltration trench systems along the north and
south sides of the roadway. There is local concern that the commercial site development currently
being constructed along the south side of the roadway is contributing to localized flooding of the
roadway during rainfall events.
The intent of the study is to provide an analysis of the existing storm water runoff characteristics,
review the proposed surface water management plan of the future commercial development, and
identify likely weaknesses in the roadway stormwater conveyance system. It is also desired that the
study provide recommendations for improvements to the roadway drainage system in accordance
with current County standards and direction.
The Stormwater Analysis and Review will consist of:
■ Review of existing drainage conditions (prior to new commercial development)
• Review of modified drainage conditions with new development
■ Determination of area stormwater conveyance characteristics and deficiencies
■ Development of recommendations for improvements

December 31, 2006 for Engineering Services Related to Bridge Evaluation and Design with Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. for the Juanita Avenue over Taylor Creek Bridge Replacement project.
BACKGROUND:
See Memorandum 06-247.
FUNDS AVAIL.:
No additional funds will be necessary.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
On June 17, 1997, the Board of County Commissioners approved an additional two cents of Local Option Gasoline
Tax for St. Lucie County. The revenue from this additional tax is earmarked for Capital Maintenance of bridges and
road reconstruction. A list is needed bridge repair and replacement projects were approved by the BOCC under the
"Investment for the Future" program. Juanita Road over Taylor Creek Bridge is one of the bridges on this list.
On October 13, 1998, the Board approved WA No. 2, in the amount of $32,000, to design the necessary repairs on
four bridges: Taylor Dairy Road over C-25 Canal, Juanita Avenue over Taylor Creek, Glades Cut-off Road over C-24
Canal, and Edwards Road over 5-Mile Creek.
On April 25,2000, The Board approved WA No. 3, in the amount of $22,500, which was included bid preparation,
preconstruction participation, site visits, permitting, and project closure of all four bridges.
On December 5, 2000, The Board awarded Contact #C00-12-158 with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for Bridge
Evaluation & Design Services.
On September4, 2001, The Board approved WA NO.1 in the amount of $6,900, for additional survey information on
three bridges: Juanita Avenue over Taylor Creek, Glades Cut-off Road over C-24 Canal, and Edwards Road over 5-
Mile Creek. The survey information better defined the work necessary to rehabilitate the bridges and established
quantities for payment to bidding contractors. Site conditions have changed since the bridge projects began.
On August 27, 2002, The Board approved Request approval to retain the services of Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.
to provide design services for replacement of the Juanita Avenue over Taylor Creek Bridge ID 940040.

Juanita Avenue over Taylor Creek Bridge Replacement Project
In reviewing the plans for the Juanita Avenue Bridge Repair project, staff had
determined that adding a sidewalk to the bridge would not be cost feasible. The
condition of the existing bridge is poor, and is very close to the end of its useful
service of life. Major repairs are needed (estimated at $150,000) to extend the service
life of the bridge for at most 10-15 years. Based upon these conditions, staff
undertook the design for the replacement of the Juanita Avenue Bridge over Taylor
Creek. These plans are very close to complete but the design contract is about to
expire. The First Amendment to Work Authorization No. 2 is for an extension of time
to December 31, 2006.

TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Diana Lewis, Airport Director
SUBJECT: Agenda C-9B for 09/26/2006 to Approve Kimley-Horn Work Authorization 26
In November 2003, the Board held a workshop to discuss the aviation development of approximately 10 acres
of property located at the intersection of taxiway E and B at the airport. Discussion ensued about the need to
make several infrastructure improvements, and complete the environmental mitigation before the site could be
made available for development; specifically, taxiway E needed to be rehabilitated which was completed early
this year. The airport's drainage ditch needed to be relocated, and an environmental assessment needed to be
completed for the site which is in the completion stages. The airport was able to negotiate with FDOT to
utilize the Construct Apron funds to prepare the environmental mitigation for the proposed site. Site work on
this project involved planning and permitting for future development.
Kimley-Horn engineers will prepare construction/bid documents and oversee construction. Kimley-Hour's
scope of services and Work Authorization No. 26 for this project is attached in the amount of $15 8,140 Florida
Department of Transportation will fund $126,512 of the project with matching fund of $31,628 for a project
total of $15 8,140.
The construction documents will relocate the drainage ditch in the FBO development area and the scope of
work will take the project out to bid and oversee construction in Work Authorization No. 26.The FBO will be
able to begin future development after completion of this project.
Staff recommends the Board approve Kimley-Horn's Work Authorization No. 26 to prepare
construction and bid documents, and over see construction for the relocation of this drainage ditch in
the future development of the FBO site and authorize the Chair to execute same.

FROM: Jody Bonet, Director �-
SUBJECT: Authorization to apply for DEP Coastal Partnership Grant
DATE: September 19, 2006
In July 2003, the Board approved moving forward with an outdoor educational exhibit
that features the boating and fishing history of the Treasure Coast. Five educational
kiosks were funded with Division of Historical Resources grants and the sidewalk where
they would have been placed was never completed. At the September 19, 2006 BOCC
meeting the Board approved the work authorization with Keith and Schnars, PA to
design and engineer the project.
If awarded Coastal Management funds will be available from July 1, 2007 to June 30,
2008 and will assist with capital improvements to the site. The goal is to use the funds to
move the landing craft and add other large boating artifacts for the public to experience
our boating heritage. The match is in the current budget and will assist with the sidewalk
construction and other improvements to the site.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the submission of
a grant to the Department of Environmental Protection Coastal Partnership program for
capital funds to assist with the development of the educational heritage sidewalk project.

MEMORANDUM #06-253
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Beth Ryder, Director
SUBJECT: Contract Approval for Troutman Parcel at Avenue D Transfer Facility
DATE: September 19, 2006
On March 22, 2005, the Board approved a Joint Participation Agreement with Florida Department of
Transportation Intermodal Program for a grant of $225,000. The grant will assist in the purchase of land
and the development of the property for a transit transfer facility at the corner of Avenue D and 8t'
Street. This project has been approved as a partnership project with the Ft. Pierce Redevelopment
Agency and the acquisition cost will be shared 50%. The FPRA has already purchased the lot adjacent
to Moore's Creek and the County is in the process of purchasing two of the three remaining lots on this
block that are owned by Joseph Chacko and Samuel Gaines.
This is the largest vacant block available that connects Avenue D with Moore's Creek and is already the
location of the transit transfer station. Thus, this parcel is an integral part of the Moore's Creek transit
and greenway project.
Once all of the lots are. purchased, the County and FPRA will work together to develop a site plan for the
transit transfer area. At this time, three bus routes come to this site and the site will link to the future
improvements of the Moore's Creek Greenway project. Restrooms, a manned ticket booth and possibly
a maintenance office will be located on this site so the site is safe and comfortable for the transit users.
FDOT, Federal Transit Administration, and FPRA funds will assist with the overall improvement of the
site and the Moore's Creek Greenway.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chair to sign the Contract for Sale and Purchase for
Real Property with Jimmie Troutman.

Subject: Troutman Property
As we discussed on September 20, 2006 on the telephone, the Troutman
counter-offer of $60,000 is within our range of value. This equates to
a $3.95/SF value. Our original value was $3.00/SF, with our adjusted
range of value being $2.75/SF to $5.97/SF. We feel the counter-offer
value of $3.95/SF to be an acceptable value for the property.

CONCEPT PAPER PROPOSALS

BACKGROUND
Juvenile crime in Florida has declined to its lowest level in many years. There have been especially large
declines in serious and violent felonies. Unfortunately, declines in the number of arrests for less serious
delinquency offenses have not been as great. More youth, about 54 % (51,047), were referred to the Department
of Juvenile Justice (Department) for misdemeanor offenses than any other type of delinquency in 2004-05.
There has been minimal fluctuation in the total number of referrals over the past three years. While the total
number of referrals has remained stable, the population of youth at risk for delinquency, those ages 10 to 17, has
increased in Florida.
In FY 2004-05, 59 % of all referrals were attributable to minority youth. Over the past three years the total
number of referrals generated by black and Hispanic youth has increased by six % (for each group).
Statewide, there continue to be a large number of delinquency referrals from the education system. During
fiscal year 2004-05, there were 150,687 referrals received by the Department at delinquency intake. Of this,
28,008 or 19 % of all delinquency referrals were school related.
During fiscal year 2004-05, a total of 95,263 individual youth were referred to the Department. Of these, 24,189
or 25 % of all youth referred to the Department had at least 1 school -related referral.
Statewide, minority youth accounted for 17,645 or 63 % of all school -related referrals
The number of admissions to secure detention has increased in the past three years by seven %. There were
also consistent increases in each of the racial, ethnic and gender groups with the largest increase (13%)
generated by Hispanic youth.
During FY 2004-05 there were 43,208 (78%) male and 12,429 (22%) female admissions to secure detention.
Statewide, black youth represented the largest %age of males admitted (48%), and black females comprised
(43%) of all female admissions.
Section 985.213, Florida Statutes Use of Detention, allows a child who is charged with committing an offense
of domestic violence as defined in Section. 741.28, Florida Statutes, and who does not meet detention criteria to
be held in secure detention if the court makes specific written findings that respite care for the child is not
available; and it is necessary to place the child in secure detention in order to protect the victim from injury.
Unfortunately, Florida presently has a lack of respite options available for youth who have been arrested for
domestic violence. This makes it especially important that alternatives to arrest be available, so that youth who
come to the attention of law enforcement can be placed in shelter care when secure detention is not appropriate.

PROJECT PROPOSAL
The State Advisory Group (SAG) and Department of Juvenile Justice are seeking to reduce the number of
referrals to the juvenile justice system and significantly reduce Disproportionate Minority Contact with the
juvenile justice system throughout the state of Florida. The initial goal is to fund, by Title Il - Formula grant
awards up to seven Equal Justice projects. A primary component of each project will be establishment of a
Referral Reduction Coordinator (RRC) position in the circuit.
The role of the RRC will be to:
1. Lead the coordination of the Civil Citation/Equal Justice project in the specified circuit.
2. Educate key community stakeholders in the circuit regarding the Equal Justice/Civil Citation Initiative.
3. Lead the partnership efforts between key stakeholders as outlined in FS. 985.30.
4. Provide training and technical assistance for Law Enforcement agencies in the circuit on how and when
to use the civil citation program and to raise awareness of cultural barriers for making referrals to the
civil citation program; as outlined in F.S 985.30.
5. Serve as a liaison between Law Enforcement and Runaway Shelter(s) to provide alternatives for youth
who would otherwise be referred to the Department for minor domestic violence related charges and
securely detained.
6. Serve as a liaison between the judiciary, the juvenile justice system, the school system, county programs
and services, the Public Defender's Office, State Attorney's Office and the community at large to help
enhance the delivery of services to at -risk youth.
7. Compile and maintain a comprehensive list of referral resources for civil citation work sites and youth
with substance abuse, mental health, and behavioral problems. Referral sources may require
participation in intervention services appropriate to identified needs of the juvenile, including family
counseling, urinalysis monitoring, and substance abuse and mental health treatment services.
8. Ensure this project is used, solely, as an alternative to arrest.
9. Routinely help recruit alternative sanctions/civil citation sites for youth in need of intervention,
prevention, and diversion services.
10. Develop other methods to reduce arrests, school referrals and other referral sources with an emphasis on
disproportionate representation of minority youth.
11. Make sure that significant efforts are clearly focused on reducing arrests in school.
12. Ensure the entry of youth information into the Juvenile Justice Information System (JJIS).
PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Civil Citation is the process by which youth who commit non -serious delinquent acts are given the opportunity,
by the responding law enforcement officer, to accept an alternative to arrest. Such youth will be diverted from
the juvenile justice system and allowed to perform community service hours (no greater than 50) within the
community. Upon completion of the community service sanction, the youth's case is deemed "satisfied" and no
further action is taken. If the youth fails to comply with the community service sanction, the civil citation is
deemed "failed". The original act for which the youth was cited is processed by law enforcement, charges are
filed and an affidavit submitted to the Office of the State Attorney. The State Attorney may then file a petition
with the court to adjudicate the youth delinquent. Civil Citation cannot be used as a punitive response to
mischievous acts. Civil Citation will be used strictly as "an alternative to arrest'
Civil Citation will provide an efficient and innovative alternative to referral to the Department for youth who
commit minor delinquent acts and to ensure swift and appropriate consequences.
Through the development of a statewide civil citation/equal justice initiative, it is the goal of the SAG and
Department of Juvenile Justice to reduce the number of referrals to the juvenile justice system and significantly
reduce Disproportionate Minority Contact with the juvenile justice system throughout the state of Florida.
Providing a civil citation alternative, including proper training and technical assistance to school resource
officers/officials, on how and when to use the civil citation program could substantially reduce the number of
school -related referrals
In an effort to reduce the detention rate; developing partnerships with local Runaway Shelters and/or Florida
Network of Youth and Families Services shelters will provide an alternative placement for a youth who
commits an offense of domestic violence but otherwise does not meet the detention criteria. Misdemeanor
cases of domestic battery may also meet the criteria for civil citations thus avoiding the requirement for
detention.
The SAG and Department's objective is to fund up to seven Civil Citation/Equal Justice projects in seven
separate circuits throughout the state, for up to $100,000 each.
Funds allocated for this initiative are derived form the 2006 Title II Formula Grant and fully supports the
OJJDP designated federal criteria and the criteria established by the Department.

High Risk ZIP Codes by County
High Risk Zip Codes
The proposed project outlined in this grant application should primarily serve youth who reside in communities
where most juvenile delinquent youth reside and; who commit non -serious delinquent acts. The following is a
list of the top zip codes for each county as measured by the number of delinquency charges, delinquency
referrals, and the number of youth living
in the zip code referred to the Department for a delinquency offense.
For each county, at least 50% of youth referred reside in the zip codes listed. The geography of some zip codes
is such that only a small area of a
given zip code may have a high concentration of delinquent youth. The
program proposal should focus on those
areas within a zip code with a high concentration of delinquent youth.
This Department of Juvenile Justice,
Bureau of Data and Research, data is for fiscal year 2003-04.

CIVIL CITATION GOALS OBJECTIVES & STRATEGIES
SECTION D — PROBLEM RECOGNITION AND DOCUMENTATION
Although statewide data indicates there has been a clear reduction in juvenile delinquency rates
in Florida, data from the counties that comprise the 19"' Circuit; St. Lucie, Indian River,
Okeechobee and Martin, identifies local problems that call for an increase in services. The
decrease in juvenile referrals for misdemeanors has not been uniformly distributed across the
different counties and the juvenile population within the counties. Rates of decrease in
misdemeanor referrals vary according to ethnicity, gender, offense and geographical location.
Additionally, local data indicates that some situations in the 19t" Circuit conflict with statewide
trends.
In Indian River County variation by ethnicity is clearly indicated. The number of non judicial
referrals for whites dropped from 190 to 148 (22%), from the year 2003/2004 to 2004/2005,
however the number of referrals during that same period for blacks increased from 71 to 77
(7%). This increase was the result of an increase in referrals for black females from 26 to 32, a
23% increase, while referrals for black males remained the same at 45. During the same time
period rates for white females dropped precipitously from 86 to 51, a decrease of 40%. While
the decrease for white males was significant, from 104 in 2003-2004 to 95 (9%) for 20044-2005,
(after a decrease the previous year of 41 %), the number of referrals for black males remained the
same at 45 for 2003-2004 and 2004-2005.
Ethnicity was also a factor in Martin County during this time period. Referrals increased for
black males from 71 to 78 (9%) and for black females from 27 to 30 (11%), while referrals
decreased for white males from 162 to 145 (10%) and for white females from 69 to 62 (10%).
While the data documenting reductions in referrals for all groups manifests a steady decline over
several years in Martin, Indian River and Okeechobee counties, this isn't the case for St. Lucie
County. During the 2 year time period discussed above, St. Lucie County had two consecutive
years of substantial decreases in referrals for all groups. However, while these successes were
very laudable, the situation presents less positively when interpreted in a more long term
perspective. The year 2002-2003 saw a tremendous increase in referrals, 79.5% over the previous
year. Thus, even with recent reductions there were still 17% more referrals in 2004-2005 (823)
than there were in 2001 /02 (704).
Although there has been an overall reduction in juvenile referrals and substantial reductions for
non -marijuana referrals, there has been a huge increase in referrals for marijuana use throughout
the state. Misdemeanor non -marijuana referrals dropped by 42% in the last ten years, but
misdemeanor maryuana referrals increased by 102%. However, data presented by the counties
comprising the 19 Circuit does not conform to this trend. St. Lucie County reports a drop in
marijuana misdemeanor non -judicial referrals from 80 in 2002-2003 to 38 (53%) in 2003-04 to
25 (34%) in 2004-2005. Okeechobee County also reported a decline in referrals from 17 to 11
(35%) from 2003-2004 to 2004-2005, but the five-year trend is up and down with increase in
2001-2002 and 2003-2004. Martin County reports a fairly similar trend with an increase in
2001-2002 and 2004-2005, and decreases in 2002-20003 and 2003-2004. Given these up and
down trends in Okeechobee County and Martin County, it is not possible to make a strong
argument that concerns about marijuana use should be alleviated. There has also been reported
an increase in referrals for assault/battery across the state to the extent that it is the most common
reason for referral to DJJ. In this Circuit this trend has been bucked by St. Lucie County, which
reports a reduction in referrals from 212 in 2002-2003 to 162 (24%) in 2003-2004 to 132 (19%)
in 2004-2005.
Schools continue to be a large referral source for DJJ (Research and Evaluation Unit, April 2006)
and schools in the 191h Circuit are above the statewide average of 19% for 2004-2005. Martin
County and Okeechobee County schools had referral rates of 26%, while St. Lucie County
schools had a rate of 22% and Indian River County schools had a rate of 20%. DJJ reports that
black males and females are more likely to receive a school related referral than non -black
counterparts and that females were more likely to be referred than males for misdemeanors. It is
reported that the most serious offense for 63% of the school referrals was for a misdemeanor.
In the counties of the 19th Circuit a substantial number of youths have been handled non -
judicially for misdemeanor offenses. In the year 2004-2005, in the zip codes identified with the
largest number of misdemeanors for all four counties, a total of 439 youths were handled this
way out of a total of 1317 youths arrested for misdemeanors. This means that 33.3% of all
misdemeanor arrests were handled non -judicially. However, there is great variation in the degree
that this occurs in each county. St. Lucie County with 44% had the highest percentage of cases
handled non judicially. Martin County came next with 37%, then Indian River County with 27%
and finally Okeechobee County with 22%. These variations may reflect a geographical barrier to
access to diversion programs. Some programs like the ones cited below are city operated
programs and thus do not serve youths in the unincorporated areas of the county. These areas are
in many instances the fastest growing communities in the counties.
Juvenal diversion programs have been highly successful with referrals for misdemeanors in the
area of the 19th Circuit. The program at the City of Ft. Pierce reported that for the year 2004-
2005, they achieved success in 33 out of 36 cases (90%) and in 2005-2006 they achieved success
in 55 out of 59 cases (90%). The program at the City of Pt. St. Lucie reported 107 successes out
of 172 cases (63%) and 125 successes out of 182 cases (68%) for the same time period.
In summary, a review of local data suggests that although the situation in the 19th Circuit shares
some of the characteristics of statewide trends, the local situation also varies significantly with
the statewide trend and between the counties that make up the 19th Circuit. The data also
indicates an existing need for ways to handle cases non judicially and that such programs are
successful. It is important that programs are tailored to be responsive to local conditions. The
analysis above identifies four areas that should be targeted: marijuana use, the school setting,
assault/battery and the lower rates of reduction of misdemeanor rates for black youth.
SECTION E — PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Civil Citation Grant Initiative program seeks to provide the circuit with a Referral Reduction
Coordinator who will unite key stakeholders in the community to reduce the number of juvenile
referrals to the system. Currently there is a gap where our existing diversionary programs are not
reaching rural and suburban areas. One of the primary goals is to address the needs of the
populations in the four counties where diversionary needs are not being met.
In order to achieve the stated goals, the RRC will be utilizing:
1. Peace -Making Circles - Our plan is to institute peace -making circles, an important
component of Restorative Justice, through a "train -the -trainer" program. We would recruit an
expert in peace -making circles to train the RRC, who would, in turn, train those involved in the
community, law enforcement and our schools, so that this extremely effective method could be
used as an alternative to diversionary programs.
2. Utilization of community volunteers for victim support or as victim advocates
3. "Crime repair crews", which are supervised offender community service crews who
repair the damage of the offender's behavior.
4. Group Conferencing, which is led by a trained facilitator and involves face-to-face
contact among one or more victims, the offender, supporters for both, and others who were
affected by the offense.
5. Peer Mediation programs in schools
The program will be designed as follows:
I. Police Intervention
A. The juvenile engages in activity which results in police intervention and the
completion of a report (arrest or complaint affidavit).
B. The Officer will determine whether it is appropriate to refer the youth's matter
to the Referral Reduction Coordinator for diversion.
C. The Officer will contact the youth's parents and direct them to contact the
Referral Reduction Coordinator within 2 business days.
D. The referral along with the affidavit is sent to the Referral Reduction
Coordinator
II. Intake Conference
A. The Referral Reduction Coordinator receives the paperwork, reviews
for accuracy and determines that the youth is appropriate for diversion.
B. The youth is entered into JJIS.
C. A Notice to Appear is mailed to the family within five (5) business days,
informing them of the referral and directing them to report for an intake
conference within three (3) weeks.
D. The youth and family appear for the conference. The RRC evaluates the
youth's needs and gives the youth growth opportunities to complete. These
opportunities could be a referral to Teen Court, Peer Reviews, Counseling,
Attend a Restorative Justice Peacemaking Circle, etc. The youth and family
are informed that his/her failure to complete all the process will result in
consequences that could include referral to the State Attorney's Office for
filing.
III. Monitoring and Follow-up
A. The RRC will maintain monthly contact with all involved parties to ensure the
youth's cooperation and progress.
B. The youth and family will return to the RRC's office for a review 90 days
from the initial intake conference, or earlier if deemed necessary by the RRC.
At this meeting, the youth will provide the RRC with completion certificates
from all of the programs that he/she attended. Monitoring may be extended or
terminated based on a case -by -case determination by the RRC.
C. The youth and his family will be provided with proof of his/her completion of
the program. The youth and his/her family will also be provided with a list of
activities, events and programs to attend within their community.
IV. Staff
A. The program will consist of the Referral Reduction Coordinator. The 19t�'
Judicial Circuit Office of Court Administration will provide the coordinator
with supervision, administrative support, office space and related equipment
as an in -kind service.
V. Hours of Operation
A. The program will operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 — 5:00
PM. The Coordinator will also have evening hours in each county
location weekly.
The arrests of juveniles for less serious misdemeanor crimes have not declined. In fact in 2004-
2005 more youth were referred to the Department of Juvenile Justice for misdemeanor offense
than any other type of delinquency. Currently in Circuit 19, while there are diversionary
programs available, they are not reaching out to the entire community. The overall goal of this
program is to reach the youth before it is necessary for them to enter into diversion programs.
One of the ways that the program will attempt to meet this goal is by bridging the gap that exists
between law enforcement, the judicial system, the community, the school system and the youth.
The Referral Reduction Coordinator will serve as an intermediary between these agencies. In
addition, the RRC will be a liaison with the Circuit's runaway shelters.
The Coordinator will gather and maintain statistical data on the diversionary programs offered in
each county, such as initial referrals, successful completion data, demographics, client
evaluations, recidivism, established prevention systems, trainings provided, and interagency
contacts.
SECTION F - PROJECT GOALS, OBJECTIVES & STRATEGIES
1. DEVELOPMENT AND COORDINATION OF PROJECTS IN THE ZIP CODE
TARGET AREAS, MAKING SURE ALL APPROPRIATE AGENCIES ARE
PARTICIPATING.
The 19�' Circuit currently has a Teen Court and Delinquency Diversion program which
handles youth referred to the Teen Court Director by the Department of Juvenile Justice. In
addition, three police departments (in Stuart, Port St. Lucie and Ft. Pierce) also have their own
Youth Court and/or delinquency diversion programs. However, several of the ten target zip
codes include areas where the local Sheriffs' Departments provide law enforcement, and the
municipal law enforcement -based diversion programs indicated above do not cover these areas.
One of the first responsibilities of the Referral Reduction Coordinator (RRC) would be to
establish relationships with those Sheriffs' Departments and with the schools, through the School
Resource Officers, so that 100% of the target areas would be addressed.
RRC would also work with the four County School Boards to develop ways to integrate the
concept of Restorative Justice in response to school offenses.
Existing diversion alternative programs in municipalities will not be affected by the
Referral Reduction Coordinator Program, and referrals to such municipal programs will not
have to be made through the Referral Reduction Coordinator. However, youth who fail to
complete all sanctions assigned by a municipal diversion alternative program may be referred to
the Referral Reduction Coordinator Program for further interventions.
The 19t" Circuit currently has three avenues to assist in the development of relationships
with community resource organizations, law enforcement, and the judiciary. Constructive
interaction with the following organizations would be an integral part of the RRC's duties. They
are: a) the Steering Committee of the Shared Services Network's Executive Roundtable, an
organization that tackles such issues as teen health (including mental health), substance abuse,
academic success, economic sufficiency and violence prevention; b) the Delinquency Prevention
Network, a new subcommittee of the Steering Committee whose members include
representatives of faith -based organizations and law enforcement officers who are devoted to
anti -gang and other initiatives; and c) the Family Law Advisory Group (FLAG). As an
example of the importance of these groups, and the contacts the RRC will make through them,
the following are just a few of the items on the agenda from the August, 2006 Delinquency
Prevention Network meeting: a Department of Juvenile Justice update on their Redirection
Program and Probation Sweeps, an update on the Circuit's diversion programs, advocacy for
truancy court, an update on the Boys & Girls Club truancy project, a discussion on how to best
utilize media resources so as to alert the public to such programs, and a request that "runaway
issues" be added to the next agenda.
2. PLAN TO REDUCE DISPROPORTIONATE MINORITY CONTACT WITH THE
JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM
As Martin Luther King once said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
Over -representation of minority youth exists in the juvenile justice system when the percentage
of minority youth exceeds their proportion in the general population (Please see Attachment "A"
with the chart compiled from 2000 Census figures, showing the percentages of minority
.. a
population in the ten targeted zip codes. It is important to point out, however, that as recently as
June 21, 2006, the U.S. Census Bureau indicated that Port St. Lucie, which contains three of the
targeted zip codes, is one of the top ten fastest growing cities in the nation.)
The RRC must take an active role in addressing DMG This can be accomplished by:
a) Communicating with local bar associations to share information and strategies to
reduce DMC.
b) Cultural Competency, which is defined as "a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and
policies that come together in a system, agency, or among professionals and enables that system,
agency, or those professionals to work effectively in cross—cultural situations (Cross et al., 1989;
Isaacs & Benjamin, 1991).
c) Becoming familiar with alternatives to detention, such as after -school programs,
community service organizations (i.e. Boys and Girls Club), faith -based organizations and
counseling services.
d) Education and training, not just for the youth, but for the adults who work with and
serve them. One area of education is in the area of cultural diversity and sensitivity. The RRC
would contact individuals in the area who can provide training in such cultures as Spanish,
Creole, and Konjubal. Utilizing these individuals and other community -based organizations to
provide cultural -sensitivity training would be of enormous help in this area.
3. PLAN TO REDUCE SCHOOL/SRO-INITIATED REFERRALS TO THE JUVENILE
JUSTICE SYSTEM
The RRC will build relationships with all SROs in each school district within our four
counties through a 6-step process:
a) Referral comes in from SRO and is reviewed by RRC
b) Intake - RRC meets with offender and parent(s) or guardian and decides next step
c) Refer, if necessary, to appropriate Youth/Teen Court, Delinquency Diversion Panel or
Peer Review Panel. As an alternative, the youth may be referred to community service,
counseling, and/or involvement with a community or faith -based organization.
d) Monitor - the RRC monitors the progress of the youth
e) Review - follow-up within the appropriate time -frame
f) Formal completion of the program, including the awarding of certificates to the
successful candidates.
4. PLAN TO REDUCE # OF ADMISSIONS TO SECURE DETENTION THRU USE OF
RESPITE OPTIONS FOR YOUTH CHARGED WITH DV & COORDINATION WITH
LOCAL SHELTERS.
The Treasure Coast Division of the Children's Home Society of Florida (CHS) provides
shelter care for youth who need a "time out" or a "cool off ' period from their families, as well as
homeless or runaway youth. The main resource is their shelter, Wave CREST, which has a total
of 12 beds for this purpose. If there is no space available in that shelter when a youth is referred,
CHS may place him/her in one of their shelters in another area, such as one located in West Palm
Beach. Youth referred to CHS shelters are screened and assessed by a social worker who is
supervised by a licensed social worker, and provided with individual and/or family therapy as
deemed appropriate. The Children's Home Society also operates a nonresidential CINS/FINS
program that provides case management services to families, whether the youth enters the shelter
q f
or not. To reduce the number of children placed in secure detention, the RRC will act as a liaison
between law enforcement agencies and CHS as well as with other service providers. The RRC
will educate law enforcement agencies of the availability of respite care at CHS for youth as an
alternative to being charged with domestic violence. In addition, the RRC will expedite referrals
and will develop protocols to ensure successful communication and the coordination of policies
and practices.
5. RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PHILOSOPHY, PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES
(INCLUDE AFTER -SCHOOL ALTERNATIVES)
According to Kay Pranis, the Restorative Justice Planner for the Minnesota Department
of Corrections, restorative justice is "a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm
caused or revealed by criminal behavior. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes
that include all stakeholders."
The 3 main principals of Restorative Justice are : a) In order for justice to occur, we must
work to heal victims, communities and offenders who have been injured; b) The victims,
communities and offenders should have the opportunity to participate as early and fully as
possible, and c) Government is responsible for a just order, and the community's role is for a just
peace.
"Restorative Justice Online" (www.restorativeiustice.org indicates that the practices of
Restorative Justice will respond to crime by a) "identifying and taking steps to repair harm," b)
"involving all stakeholders," and c) "transforming the traditional relationship between
communities and their governments in responding to crime." The practices the RRC will
employ include mediation between the victim and offender, peace -making circles, victim and/or
ex -offender assistance, restitution and community service.
6. OUTLINE INNOVATIVE AND EFFECTIVE METHODS TO REDUCE ARRESTS
a) Peace -Making Circles - Our plan is to institute peace -making circles, an important
component of Restorative Justice. We would recruit an expert in peace -making circles to train
the RRC and those involved in the community, law enforcement and our schools, so that this
extremely effective method could be used as an alternative to diversionary programs.
b) Utilization of community volunteers for victim support or as victim advocates
c) "Crime repair crews", which are supervised offender community service crews who
repair the damage of the offender's behavior.
d) Group Conferencing, which is led by a trained facilitator and involves face-to-face
contact among one or more victims, the offender, supporters for both, and others who were
affected by the offense.
e) Peer Mediation programs in schools
f) Law enforcement involvement in prevention efforts, such as fire prevention videos and
those produced by MADD, mentoring and involvement with groups like PAL (Police Athletic
League), the latter of which already has a strong presence in the I9t" Circuit.
7. PLAN TO ACTIVELY RECRUIT ALTERNATIVE SANCTIONS/CIVIL
CITATION SITES FOR YOUTH IN NEED OF INTERVENTION, PREVENTION
AND DIVERSION SERVICES & ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE NUMBER OF
SITES ARE ACCESSIBLE FOR CITED YOUTH.
a) Partner with existing programs (Port St. Lucie, Ft. Pierce and Stuart Police
Departments' existing programs.
b) Work with Chamber of Commerce in cities and counties to develop more sites.
c) Work with area shopping malls to develop more sites.
d) Work with faith -based organizations to develop more sites.

RE: ST LUCIE COUNTY ARTIFICIAL REEFS — Dana Tug Barge Deployment
Proposal for Performing Work to assist with One Barge Deployment offshore of St. Lucie
County
Jim:
This letter is to provide you with a proposal and cost estimate for our work for St. Lucie County
for providing services to assist with the offshore deployment of one barge deployment for the
construction of an artificial reef in the Offshore Reef Site of St. Lucie County, Florida (water
depth 110 to 120 feet). This proposal consists of the following items:
1. Scope of Work (Exhibit A),
2. Cost (Exhibit B), and
3. Schedule (Exhibit C).
To perform this work, we will spend one day of field work (including ship and diving) for the
pre -deployment survey, and one day of field work supervising the barge deployment, for a total
of 2 days of field work. This proposal assumes that the barge deployment can be performed
during one 10-hour day on -site at sea. Any additional time necessary due to weather delays or
equipment breakdowns by the contractor deploying the material may result in additional hours or
days needed to accomplish this work. We will also provide assistance with the completion of the
materials placement forms required by FWC.
Please contact me for any further information required.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr_ Oppenbom:
DANAtugs.com is pleased to provide the attached deployment plan and diagram for the
donation of a 120' x 34' barge to St. Lucie County for deployment on its Offshore
artificial reef site. Said barge will be prepared and deployed according to the attached
deployment plan and diagram.
DANAtugs.com will cleats the barge according to U.S. Coast Guard specifications and
will tow the barge to the aforementioned site after inspection by the U.S. Coast Guard.
DANAtugs.com will be in charge of sinking the barge. St. Lucie County will call the
Coast Guard for inspection prior to deployment and will have consultants on the reef site
to mark the deployment area and to inspect the arcs prior to sinking. Said consultants
will conununicate with DANAtugs.com to ensure sinking of the vessel at the proper
location.
After the barge rests on the bottom, we will transfer ownership to St. Lucie County.
DANAtugscom will also provide St. Lucie County copies of estimates of the barges
value as well as receipts for all services associated with this donation. It will be the
County's responsibility to inspect and monitor the barge as part of its artificial reef
program. please call me if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
am Freed
President
