Date: March 13, 2009
Subject: BOCC Consent Agenda Item No. VI-C-6, March 24, 2009
Access to health care for the indigent, uninsured and working poor is a major issue in St. Lucie County. One of the
solutions for filling the access gap is through a no-pay clinic. The proposed no-pay health care clinic will help
establish a medical home for these clients. This clinic has the potential to: (1) provide early access to health care for
the indigent population: (2) provide early dia~osis and treatment, which will, in turn, lead to better prognosis and
earlier, less costly treahnent; (3) provide preventive education and programs; and (4) reduce instances of non-
emergency patients using high cost emergency rooms.
Most of St. Lucie County is classified as medically-underserved. At least 25% of St. Lucie County residents under
the age of 65 do not have health insurance. In addition, according to the 2000 Census, 13.4% of County residents
live in poverty. With 183,333 adults in St. Lucie County, and 52,531 of these adults over the age of 65, there are
approximately 32,700 (25% of 130,802 under age 65) adults who could benefit from access to no-pay health care.
Persons without health care insurance often delay seeking health care until a disease or condition has progressed to
the point at which it is extremely difficult and expensive to treat and the prognosis then may be poor. In addition,
clients without health insurance, or without access to health care during evenings or weekends, often simply present
themselves in hospital emergency rooms where the cost of treatment may be unnecessarily excessive.
The proposed clinic project is a no-pay clinic designed to fill the gaps in health care access for the poor and
uninsured population. The clinic is not intended to compete with any other local health care providers. A steering
committee of concerned local organizations has been working and meeting for over a year to address the need for
health care access. This group has: (1) committed support; (2) drafted a Memorandum of Understanding
(Attachment 1) which is now ready for approval by the various stakeholder governing boards; (3) filed as a
corporation; and (4) applied for 501(c) 3 status. The Friends of St. Lucie County Public Health, Inc., a non-profit
501(c) 3 organization has agreed to act as the interim fiscal agent until the new non-profit is established. T'his
facilitates the organization's ability to seek funding and disperse funds.
To date, $175,000 in funding has been secured from the Allegany Franciscans (100,000), and the United Way of St.
Lucie County ($75,000). This funding will facilitate the start-up ofthe clinic once it is constructed. Our local Wal-
Mart has donated $2,500 toward the cost of materials for the build-out of the space. St. Lucie County BOCC has
donated 2,000 square feet of space including utilities for the clinic in the Logistics Center. St. Lucie County will
provide the space built out to the exterior walls and will also provide the labor for the build-out of the interior
space, once funding for $23,500 in materials has been secured. In addition, Lawnwood Regional Medical Center
and St. Lucie Medical Center will provide the labor for the electrical and plumbing work.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOL~, outlining general responsibilities, among
designated stakeholders, in the St. Lucie County Health Access Network and authorization for the Chair to sign the
Memorandum of Understanding.

Date: March 10, 2009
Re: Approval of Resolution 09-093 accepting the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) #426174-1-94-01 in the amount of
$120,000 (80% FDOT share) with a 20% local match of $30,000 for a total project
cost of $150,000 for the installation of Airfield Fence Obstruction Lights at St. Lucie
County International Airport.
The project, being funded by this FDOT JPA, consists of lighting 3,955 linear of feet of
fencing that is located 400 feet north of centerline of Runway 9/27. This project is in
response to a recommendation made by the FDOT compliance inspector, to ensure that the
Airport met the licensing requirements contained in Chapter 330 of the Florida Statutes.
The subject fence was installed under the Phase 2 fence project, which was completed in
2005. Subsequent to the installation, a determination was made by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) that placing the fence at a distance of 400 feet from the runway
centerline was acceptable, since there was a ditch that affected where the fence could be
placed. FDOT determined that the fence did not meet their requirements, which required the
fence to be placed 500 feet from the centerline of the runway. Initially, this fence was
addressed by issuing a Notice to Airman (NOTAM), to advise pilots operating in the area of
the fence location. However, since the FDOT annually inspects and licenses the Airport, the
FDOT licensing inspector recommended that the fence be lit as a potential obstruction.
FDOT is providing the funding to have obstruction lights added to the fence. These lights will
be solar and meet FAA obstruction light standards. In February 2009, FDOT advised that a
grant for these lights would be available this Fiscal Year, instead of the 2010 Fiscal Year.
Because this project was unbudgeted, the $30,000 local match funds can be taken from 140-
4210-531000-400, Professional Services.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 09-093 accepting the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) #426174-1-94-01 in the amount
of $120,000 (80% FDOT share) with a 20% local match of $30,000 for a total project cost of

From: Diana Lewis, Airport Directco.r,_..~;,

Date: March 17, 2009
Re: Treasure Coast FBO, LLC - Revocable License Agreement for Aviation Fuel Truck Parking
Attached to this memorandum is a copy of a Revocable License Agreement with Treasure Coast
FBO, LLC, also known as Key Air Treasure Coast. This agreement would permit Key Air to park one
aviation fuel truck on a portion of the County ramp adjacent to the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP)
ramp at the St. Lucie County International Airport. The Fixed Base Operator (FBO) will pay the
County seventy-five and 00/100 dollars ($75.00) per month for use of this 12' x 45' space. The
agreement may be terminated with or without cause upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice.
A license agreement for Key Air to have parking for their fuel trucks on the County ramp was brought
to the Board originally in August 2008. It was pulled from the agenda because of an objection by
Volo Aviation, the other FBO at the Airport. Key Air advised at the time that they would speak to Volo
at the corporate level to try to resolve the issues.
The item was brought back to the Board on March 10, 2009 without resolution between Key Air and
Volo, and was continued for two weeks so that rules on fueling for the two parties involved could be
drafted. The two managers for Key Air and Volo met with Commissioner Dzadovsky, the Assistant
County Attorney and Airport staff to discuss what policies should be put in place to reduce conflicts
over fueling operations at the CBP ramp. The attached policies were drafted and coordinated with
the agencies and companies involved with the expectation that the FBOs will follow these policies
without need of enforcement either by the Airport or the CBP agents. Since these policies were
developed with the cooperation of the FBOs they will be incorporated into the Airport's Standard
Operating Procedures. If it is determined that enforcement is required, rules will have to be adopted
into the Airport Ordinance 07-051. With these policies in place, the Volo manager has advised that
he no longer objects to the license agreement for Key Air.
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed Revocable License
Agreement with Treasure Coast FBO, LLC, and authorize the Chair or designee to sign the License
Agreement.

RE: Okeechobee Road (SR 70) - Left Turn Lane at Peacock Road
BACKGROUND:
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is currently reconstructing Okeechobee Road SR 70
(FDOT FP ID 230262-5-52-01) from a 2-lane undivided to a 4-lane divided rural roadway from just west of
Header Canal Road to just East of Brocksmith Road. The County Fairgrounds lie within these limits. The
construction plans for the ongoing widening of Okeechobee Road were finalized prior to the County's design
of the Fairgrounds property. It is apparent that modifications to the design are necessary.
Miller Legg has completed and permitted the design modifications necessary for the construction of a
directipnal opening (westbound to southbound) at Peacock Road. FDOT has indicated that they will not enter
into an interlocal agreement for the construction of the tum lanes. Additionally, they would not allow an
independent contractor working for the County within the construction area to perform the work until their
project has been completed. We, therefore, have two choices: utilize Dickerson of Florida, Inc., the general
contractor performing the work, or wait until their construction project has been completed (anticipated to be
February 16, 2010) and hire our own contractor.
Dickerson Florida, Inc. has agreed to incorporate our construction into their project for a fee of $185,293.85.
The prices provided are consistent with those of FDOT, with reasonable adjustments for current material
costs. Having Dickerson perform the work negates the costs for large ticket items such as: mobilization,
maintenance of traffic, maintenance of existing drainage, and milling and resurfacing. Additionally, FDOT has
committed to overseeing the construction. This will eliminate our construction-engineering inspections costs.
A savings of over $25,000 is realized if we proceed with the project at this time.

pE: Lennard Road Municipal Service Benefit Units (MSBU) 1, 2, and 3, for Paving and
Drainage, Water, and Sewer, respectively.
BACKGROUND:
The Lennard Road MSBU projects 1, 2, and 3, consist of paving and drainage, water, and sewer
improvements, respectively. The paving and drainage MSBU entail the construction of Tilton Road from
Silver Oak Drive westward to Prima Vista Boulevard. Additionally, a portion of Lennard Road will be extended
from the intersection of Tilton Road and Prima Vista Boulevard northward to the existing portion in front of
Savanna Ridge Elementary School just south of Kitterman Road. Lennard Road MSBU 2 and 3 will provide
the residents adjacent to the roadway water and sewer, respectively. Attached please find a copy of the
Lennard Road PD&E corridor map for a reference to the location of the MSBU.
Bids for the Lennard Road MSBU project 1, 2, and 3, were opened on August 8, 2008. Sixteen companies
submitted bids. The lowest bid received was in the amount of $2,965,020.19, which was until March 3, 2009.
Rather than requesting the lowest bidder to extend their bid past this date, staff is requesting the Board to
reject all bids and allow for the re-advertisement of the bid for the Lennard Road MSBU projects. With the
current market conditions, staff anticipates receipt of a lower bid.

RE: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Grant Application
BACKGROUND:
St. Lucie County was fortunate to receive $4.6 million (with the County's 25% match) in NRCS grant funds to
assist us in repairing damage from Tropical Storm Fay to the Taylor Creek Shoreline and the Verada Ditch.
The projects have been successfully bid. The total costs however exceed the total grant funds. We have
consulted with our colleagues at NRCS and they have agreed to assist us further. It appears they can cover
our $700,000 deficit (excluding the 25% match). Based upon an additional grant amount of $700,000 the
County would need to provide a local match of $175,000 from the Emergency Reserve Account. Staff
requests permission to apply for the additional funding.

Code as received from Municipal Code Corporation, and Ordinance No. 09-013
amending the Land Development Code to correct inconsistencies, minor errors and
omissions made in the existing version of the Code.
Growth Management has received a draft of the St. Lucie County Land Devetopment Code from

existing version of the Code and incorporates all adopted ordinances. We will be requesting that the
Board adopt the draft Municode version as the officiaf Land Development Cade of St. Lucie County.
This draft will be considered through Ordinance 09-012.
In preparing the existing text and adopted ordinances for publication through Municipal Code
Corporation, Growth Management and other participating departments identified numerous errors
contained within the current version of the Land Development Co~e_ These errars include items such
as incorrect department or staff tities, inconsistent formatting and incorrect section numbers. The
correction of these errors is considered non-substantive. The changes necessary to correct the
existing non- substantive errors will be considered through Ordinance No. 09-013.
A review by the Local Planning Agency and two pubiic hearings before the Board of County
Commissioners are required to approve such changes before final publication. Staff is therefore,

RE: Board approval of the assignment of contract C08-10-558 from Cliff Berry, Inc. to
Everglades Waste Removal Services, LLC
Backqround:
St. Lucie County and Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA) entered into an interlocal agreement in October of 1994
for the treatment and disposal of leachate from the St. Lucie County Landfill. The requirements placed on FPUA
by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for the discharge of treated wastewater into their deep
injection well has substantially increased. At the present time, the Landfill is under a Consent Order from FPUA for
non-compliance with our permit conditions on leachate constituents.
Over the past year, FPUA has repeatedly requested that the Landfill stop sending leachate to the plant because it
is causing the plant to be perilously close to non -compliance with their permit. FPUA previously restricted the
quantity that can be pumped to 38,000 gallons per day. FPUA then requested that we stop pumping to their ptant
altogether until further notice. As on October 9, 2008 there was 4,500,000 gallons in the two leachate ponds which
have a totat capacity of 5,000,000 gallons.
On October 14, 2008, the Board awarded RFP #08-053 to Innviron Corporation for the building, owning, and
operating of a Landfill Leachate Pre-treatment Plant. Innviron will provide pilot testing of the treatment systems to
ensure compliance with Landfill permits at no expense to the County. Innviron will not be paid until the treatment
system is fully functional and successfully treats the leachate to FPUA permitted limits. The cost of the leachate
pretreatment will then be $136.80 per thousand gallons. This cost will be in addition to the FPUA final disposal
cost.
On October 28, 2008, the Board approved an emergency contract and purchase order to Cliff Berry, Inc. for the
removal, transportation, and disposal of leachate from the St. Lucie County Landfill at a rate of $250.00 per 1000
gallons pumped. The term of this contract is for one (1) year. It will not expire until October 27, 2009 so that the
Landfill can utilize the emergency disposal services as needed until the pre-treatment plant is fully operational.
Clifford Berry is the owner and president of Everglades Waste Removal Services, LLC. Mr. Berry was the original
owner of C~iff Berry, Inc. Evergfades Waste Removal Services, LLC has acquired the assets of Cliff Berry, Inc. and
has agreed to assume the contract and will honor all of the current terms and conditions.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends Board approval of the assignment of contract C08-10-558 from Cliff Berry, Inc. to Everglades
Waste Removal Services, LLC and asking permission for the Chair to sign the assignment as prepared by the
County Attorney.

RE: Board approval of the Transfer of surplus funds to other projects
Backqround:
Funding (001) was established to provide specific capital improvements and perform management
activities at Blind Creek Park. Due to several successful grants and coordination of Florida Department of
Transportation construction activities resulting in approximately a$55,000 savings, those funds may be
made available to complete other projects.
Dollman Park -$30,000. The project would fund the design, permitting and relocation of a pre-cast
bathroom from the South County Regional Stadium to Dollman Park. The funds will also be used to pay all
permits, fees and survey, recertification of the building, installation of footers, installation of water &
wastewater lines, and construction of ADA sidewalks. The costs associated with the improvement will
decrease the County's cosUshare ratio for the future South County beach restoration project.
Stan Blum Recreation Area -$25,000. The project would fund the installation of wastewater lines to a
proposed bathroom.
Recommendation:
Board approval of the transfer of surplus funds as identified in Attachment A, and approval of CIP

SUBJECT: Petition of Dennis Murphy, Culpepper & Terpening Inc. for a 12-Month Extension
of the approved Major Site Plan project known as The Meridian at North
Hutchinson Island for property located on the northeast corner of the intersection
of North A-1-A and Shorewinds Drive (File No. BCC 720081502).
The March 20, 2009, public hearing on this item was continued to March 24, 2009 at the request
of the applicant. The applicant has objected to the timing of the dedication of the conservation
easement required in the draft resolution. Since that hearing, no new information has been
provided for inclusion in your agenda packet.
On February 20, 2007, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 07-012
(Attachment A) granting major site plan approval to a project known as The Meridian at North
Hutchinson Island (The Meridian). The Resolution provided a two year period to obtain building
permits, which expired on February 20, 2009. The Meridian at North Hutchinson Island site plan
consists of 104 residential condominium units on an 11.88 parcel located on the northeast
corner of the intersection of North A-1-A and Shorewinds Drive (Attachment B). If a site plan
extension is not granted, a new application will be required for development of the project.
Prior to the expiration of the site plan the applicant submitted the required written request for a
site plan extension that states they may not be in a position to commence actual construction
within the required timeframe because of the time consumptive process of obtaining other
agency permit reviews (Attachment C). The project is located on the Atlantic Ocean where State
and Federal agency reviews are required. As part of staff's review, a revised Traffic Impact
Statement was provided that reported all affected roadways are still operating at an acceptable
level of service, staff concurs with that conclusion. Staff has also verified that the lands are not
in foreclosure, the owner is not in bankruptcy, nor are there any building permits or code
enforcement issues related to the applicant or the project lands.
The previously-approved site plans limit all development to areas landward of the current (1988)
Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL), preserving and restoring coastal habitats seaward of
the development area. The County's Environmental Resources Department has requested the

SUBJECT: Hurricane Housing Recovery Pro m Assistance
DATE: March 24, 2009
At recent meetings, the Board has had discussion about the assessments for the Sunland Gardens Municipal
Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) Program. The assessments are eligible for funding under the County's
Hurricane Housing Recovery (HHR) Program. In addition to MSBU assessments, the HHR Program also
provides down payment, housing rehabilitation, foreclosure prevention, rental assistance, construction
development and water and sewer assistance to very low to moderate income residents. The HHR is a
state-funded program which began in 2005 in response to the 2004-2005 hurricanes. It was approved as a
one time funded Program and is not expected to be renewed when the current funds are expended.
Under the current HHR Program guidelines, the assistance for the MSBU assessment is provided as follows:
• Zero percent interest rate loans with a 30-year term.
• 50% of the assessment for very low and low-income clients.
• Loans are deferred payments and no monthly payments are required.
• Full repayment of the loans if the property is sold prior to the end of the 30-year term.
Many of the Sunland Garden residents have expressed concern about the financial hardship they are facing
with paying the MSBU assessment. In turn, Commissioner Dzadovsky has indicated a desire for the County
to explore whether or not the level of assistance can be increased for very low to low income residents and
expanded to include moderate income residents in order to mitigate the apparent financial hardship faced
by the Sunland Garden residents particularly given the current economic downturn. Commissioner
Dzadovsky is supporting modification of the HHR Program to provide up to 100% assistance of the MSBU
assessment for very low to low income residents, 50% assistance of the MSBU assessment for moderate
income residents and to modify the deferred payment loan terms on a graduated basis as follows:
s 5~,~ear term f~r assistance under $15,OQ0
• 10 year term for assistance between $15,001 and $40,000
• 5 year term for assistance between $40,001 and $60,000; and
On March 17, 2009, the Affordable Housing Assistance Committee (AHAC) reviewed the proposed changes
to the HHR program. The AHAC made a recommendation in support of the proposed change to the loan
terms as indicated above. However, they did not support increasing the percentage of financial assistance
provided for water and sewer assistance above the current 50% level for low and very low income residents

MEMORANDUM
To: St. Lucie County Mosquito Control District Board
From: Bill Hoeffner, Grants Disaster Recovery Director
Date: March 24, 2009
Subject: Consent Agenda Item III-C-2
This agenda item is to request Board approval for an expenditure of $52,300 for engineering,.
environmental , and permitting services for the restoration of Impoundment 14C wetland. The
Board is also requested to approve Work Authorization No. 3 to Contract C08-01-062 with
Kimley Horn and Associates to provide the engineering, environmental, and permitting services.
These services need to be expedited to ensure the project is "shovel-ready" for a potential
Federal Stimulus Program grant. Work Authorization No. 3 is attached to this memorandum,
consists of eight pages, and includes Exhibits A, B, and C.
Impoundment 14C contains the last significant wetland bordering the Indian River Lagoon that
has not yet been re-connected to the Lagoon. The wetland is located immediately north of the
Florida Atlantic University Harbor Branch campus and extends to the Indian River County line.
Please see attached map of the wetlands (Attachment 1). The wetland spans eight land
parcels. Land acquisition of the four southern parcels is currently in progress using Florida
Forever, Florida Communities Trust, and South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
grants and should be completed by the middle of June 2009. Management control of the four
northern parcels will be secured through a conservation easement given to the SFWMD and a
management agreement with SFWMD and the land owner.
Restoration of Impoundment 14C will involve removing berm material that has spilled into the
wetland, rebuilding and stabilizing the berm that borders the Lagoon, installing pumps and
culverts to control the flow of water in and out of the wetland, removing exotic plants, and
replanting with native species. If funding and the grant allows, recreational components to
include boardwalks and observation piers will be,included in the project. If feasible, it is also
planned to use solar energy or other energy saving mechanisms to power the pumps. It is
estimated the cost of the restoration, the recreational structures, and the alternative energy
measures is $2,500,000. Full funding for these costs is potentially available through the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal and Marine Habitat
Restoration Project Grant Program from which St. Lucie County is applying for a grant. The
NOAA Coastal and Marine Habitat Restoration Project Grant Program is part of the Federal
Economic Stimulus Program and requires no local matching funds. ~
To secure grant funding of $2,500,000 for the wetland restoration through the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coastal and Marine Habitat Restoration Project Grant
Program; engineering, environmental, and permitting services must be completed by the end of
June 2009. The estimated cost of the engineering, environmental and permitting services is
$52,300.
