medical treatment.

FROM: Katherine Mackenzie -Smith, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 09-0513
DATE: April 24, 2009
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 09-114 - Payment Plan for Impact Fee Payers
BACKGROUND:
St. Lucie County has adopted ordinances establishing impact fees so as to assure that new
development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital expenditures necessary to provide
public buildings, roads and parks in St. Lucie County. On September 6, 2005, the Board of County
Commissioners approved Ordinance No. 05-030 which provided for an alternative method for
collection of impact fees for public buildings, roads and parks.
The alternative collection mechanism provided for the County to serve an Impact Fee
Statement notice upon the Fee Payer. If the impact fees were not paid and became delinquent,
the County served a Notice of Lien upon the Fee Payer and the Owner. The Notice of Lien advised
that upon failure to pay the impact fees, the County would record a Claim of Lien with the Clerk of
the Circuit Court. Once recorded, the Claim of Lien constituted a lien against the property.
On February 3, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners granted permission for the
County Attorney to file suit to foreclose said lien(s). It has been requested by Fee Payers to enter
into a payment plan to pay the unpaid principal balance, accrued interest, late charges and other
default -related costs recoverable under the terms of the Lien.
The attached Resolution No. 09-114 allows the Board of County.Commissioners to enter
into a payment plan with the delinquent fee payer. Such payment schedule shall be in conformity
with the following guidelines:
A) The terms of the Payment Schedule must be included within a binding Agreement
between St. Lucie County and the Fee Payer.
B) The Fee Payer shall agree to pay equal monthly payments for a term not to exceed
18 months beginning the month following execution of the Agreement. Payments
shall be calculated on a calendar day basis, until paid in full, using the total impact
fees, plus the delinquency fee and interest set at the statutory rate for final
judgments. An amortization table shall be attached to the Agreement.

C.A. NO: 09-0531
DATE: May 12, 2009
SUBJECT: St. Lucie Habitat for Humanity Petition for Release of
Right of Entry to Mine and Develop
BACKGROUND:
On May 22, 2007, the Board entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the
Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency which provided for the donation of certain
parcels of County land for construction of workforce housing. FPRA then transferred
some of those parcels to St. Lucie Habitat for Humanity, Inc. On October 28, 2009,
the Board approved Resolution No. 08-327, which provided for the donation of five
parcels of County land to St. Lucie Habitat for Humanity, Inc. for construction of
workforce housing.
Section 270.11, Florida Statutes, states that when a local government
transfers ownership of land, it retains the right to an undivided three -fourths
interest in all phosphates, minerals, or metals that may be in, on, or under the land
and also states that the local government retains the right of entry to mine and
develop such land for phosphates, minerals or metals. Subsection (3) provides that
a local government may release this interest upon petition of the purchaser. St.
Lucie Habitat for Humanity has petitioned the County for the release its right of
entry to mine and develop, but not its right to a three -fourths interest in any
phosphates, minerals, or metals. As stated in the petition, most lenders will not
lend on real property for which a governmental agency has to right to enter and
mine at will.
RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the Board approve the Releases of Right of Entry
to Mine and Develop on the five requested properties and allow the Chair
to sign.

presented to the State in 2000. The approximate location of the restroom has been determined, water lines
have already been installed, electric has been stubbed in. In addition, a waste line connection has been
identified about 700 feet east of the entrance to Stan Blum on the south side of Al A in the Florida Department
of Transportation (FDOT) right of way. This will facilitate waste line connection and eliminates the need to
seek permitting for a septic system.

SUBJECT: Event organizing contract for 3"d Annual Treasure Coast Green Conference
ITEM NO. Consent Item VI -El
Background:
Since 2007, St. Lucie County has hosted the annual Treasure Coast Green Conference, an event
designed to bring together representatives from a broad spectrum of public and private sectors to share
the latest strategies for building a sustainable future. Last year's conference exceeded expectations with
over 500 attendees from six counties and 200 organizations. Past conferences have been entirely
funded through sponsorships and registration fees, with a cumulative net profit of $18,899.
The 3`d annual Treasure Coast Green Conference is scheduled for late October 2009. St. Lucie County
staff has traditionally provided the majority of the labor (i.e. planning, scheduling, soliciting sponsors,
organizing, logistics, etc.). Last year's conference required more than 1,500 staff hours. Due to the
reduction in workforce and the growth of the conference, staff is recommending an increase in the use
of outside services, including event organizer services. However, we anticipate the conference will be,
at a minimum, revenue -neutral. We are hopeful the conference will continue to yield a net profit that can
be used toward improving the quality of the conference each year.
The Request for Proposals (RFP) for event organizing services was advertised via DemandStar on
February 27, 2009. Approximately 50 companies received notification; however, only one company
responded to the request. Just Cause Media, Inc., of Melbourne Florida, submitted a proposal in the
amount not to exceed $29,000 (based on an hourly fee schedule). Just Cause Media, Inc. was the
consultant for the first two conferences and performed satisfactorily.
Funding for the conference encompasses two fiscal years. As such, funds have been budgeted in Fiscal
Years 08109 and 09/10.
Recommendation:
Board approval to award contract to Just Cause Media for event organizing services related to the 3r°
Annual Treasure Coast Green Conference and authorization for the Chair to sign documents as
approved by the County Attorney.

DATE: May 12, 2009
SUBJECT: Change Order No. 6 for the First Phase of the New Runway and Taxiway
ITEM NO. VI-G
Background:
The new runway and taxiway construction project located on the west side of the airport was bid in two
phases based on when Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funds became available. The first phase
included the clearing and grubbing of the taxiway and runway areas and relocation of the canals. This
was awarded in October 2006 to Dickerson Florida, Inc., for the contract amount of $5,323,348.00.
There have been five previous change orders on this phase of the project. A summary of the change
orders are provided below.
1) Change Order #1 added gopher tortoise relocations and corrected the number of days to complete
to 300 days.
2) Change Order #2 extended the contract time 247 days due to delays in the permitting process.
3) Change Order #3 reduced the contract amount by $229,277.55 due to changes in drainage
infrastructure resulting from the permitting process.
4) Change Order #4 included adjustments needed for topsoil quantities and the addition of jute mesh
for improved erosion control.
5) Change Order #5 covered the costs and time needed to increase fill quantities by 90,291 cubic
yards when surveys done after areas were dewatered established the additional need for fill.
Phase I of the runway and taxiway project is now complete and Change Order No. 6 includes the final
adjustments for as -built quantities as noted in Exhibit A attached. While there is $34,446.85 left in the
budget for this project, the cost is $59,437.19. This leaves a shortfall of $24,990.34. This money is
currently available in the Airport Reserves.
The FAA has agreed to allow the use of Airport entitlement funds for FY 2009, available in August 2009,
to pay for 95% of the shortfall ($23,740.82). Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will also
provide a 2.5% match ($624.76). These grants when received can be use to reimburse any funds taken
from the Airport Reserve Account. The planned use of the entitlement funds was to go toward fencing
projects on the airport but these projects can be scaled back based on the remaining grant money
available.

SUBJECT: E911 Grant and Resolution No. 09-142, Back-up Recording Equipment
ITEM NO. VI-H 1
Background:
The E911 State Grant provides funds that will be used to purchase and install an E911 back-up
recording system at the alternate Public Safety facility, located at 101 North Rock Road in Fort Pierce.
During times of inherent limitations and failures with the current E911 equipment, the proposed system
would mitigate many of the limitations of the existing system and will enable recovery of data in the
event of a disaster. The system allows users to capture and preserve, through voice or digital
recordings, emergency communications that employ liability protection and emergency compliance. This
method of geographic redundancy ensures that, even if recordings are lost at the new Public Safety
facility, the duplicate recordings at the alternate recovery location remain protected and intact. It is
important to note the County has never had a back-up recording system.
Recommendation
Board acceptance of grant of $9,656 from the State of Florida E911 Grant Program for back-up
recording equipment at the Public Safety facility (Rock Road) and approval of Resolution No. 09-142.

ITEM NO. VI-1-12
Background:
The E911 State Grant provides funds that will be utilized for the purchase and installation of a Network
Access Server (NAS) system that will be used to store both existing and new E911 recorder data. The
County currently has Stancil recording equipment, which has been transferred to the new Public Safety
facility. The proposed server will be housed at the alternate Public Safety facility, located at 101 North
Rock Road in Fort Pierce. Public Safety will be using the NAS to connect to the new facility.
The system will allow for efficiency when searching for data and will significantly reduce the amount of
time required to search and retrieve archived recordings. The device holds storage over the network,
doing away with the need to copy to DVDs or tapes. More entities are changing from removable media
and technology to systems that are efficient and encompass more reliable storage techniques, such as
the NAS.
Recommendation
Board acceptance of grant of $12,578 from the State of Florida E911 Grant Program for a Network
Access Server (NAS) at the Public Safety facility (Rock Road) and approve Resolution No. 09-141.

Appraiser are contained in the application. As the memorandum states, Lighthouse
Industries submitted the required information and met the statutory definition of a
new business. The Property Appraiser's estimate of the taxable value lost to the
County if the exemption is granted is $1,500,000.00. The estimate of revenue lost to
the County if the exemption was granted during the current fiscal year is $10,200.00.
The application reflects 58 new full-time employees to be employed by
Lighthouse Industries in St. Lucie County. The estimated average wage for the new

FROM: Daniel S. McIntyre, County Attorney
Faye W. Outlaw, MPA, County Administrator
C.A. NO.: 09-0571
DATE: May 6, 2009
SUBJECT: Proposed Apprenticeship and Independent Contractor Language
BACKGROUND:
On April 21, 2009, the Board directed staff to return on May 12"' with a recommendation
regarding proposed language for the Purchasing Manual regarding the use of independent
contractors and apprenticeship programs. Staff has concerns about both issues and would like
further direction from the Board before making a recommendation for final language.
DISCUSSION:
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS:
Staff does not recommend adopting any language which would limit a contractor's ability
to hire independent contractors. Most local contractors are open shop contractors, as opposed
to union contractors, and staff is concerned that such language would result in a restraint on
trade, such that many local contractors who are open shop would be effectively restricted from
bidding on County projects.
In addition, most contractors and sub -contractors maintain a core of full-time employees
and hire both laborers and skilled workers as they are awarded construction projects. These
workers are often independent contractors and/or hired through temporary manpower agencies.
A requirement that a construction company use only employees would likely be cost -prohibitive
for most companies, especially small ones.
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS:
Staff has similar concerns regarding effectively restricting most local contractors from
bidding on County projects with respect to apprenticeship programs, as well. Should the Board
wish to implement apprenticeship programs for construction projects that are bid, utilization of
