Properly & Homeowners Meeting July 8, 2009 Page 3 ITEM 5: GUEST SPEAKERS AND TOPIC OF DISCUSSION N The Research CoastN Ben DeVries, Executive Director of the Treasure Coast Education and Research Development Authority and Larrv Pelton, President, Economic Development, St. Lucie County, Inc. Commissioner Coward thanked the guest speakers for being here. Commissioner Coward then introduced Larry Pelton. He said that Mr. Pelton has been a huge asset to St. Lucie County to help bring in the major biotech firms that are here today and actively involved in bringing in others. Mr. Pelton said that he appreciated being asked to speak here today. He said that he would like to give a brief overview of some of the exciting things happening on the Treasure Coast. He said what they are trying to accomplish is to diversify the economic face of this county. He said that we have been dependent on seasonal industries. We are attempting to bring in high skilled and high paying industry that will attract many more companies to the area. He mentioned the recent discovery of the isolation of cells in the body that reject drug therapy for HIV treatment and a cure for HN, and that is going to occur right here in our county. He named several companies that he was involved in bringing to Palm Beach County. He said that they are trying to attract up to 44,000 jobs in the State of Florida that are ~~spin off" jobs that are related to Life Science industry, but due to the economy, the money for the research just is not there. Mr. Pelton said that the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners recently approved contributions to an incentive being offered by the State to the Information Technology Software Company to come into the old furniture mart at the Outlet Mall by I-95 and S.R. 70. This will be a 150,000 square foot facility that will employee 200 people. Then there is the Project Vision Optical Company, they will have about 45,000 square feet. Their purpose will be to make coatings and lens for eyeglasses. It will include research, optics, ophthalmology, manufacturing and distribution. There is the Oxford, which would have about 20,000 square feet. He said that there are seven more companies that would like to be in that location. He said they are very busy and are getting so much attention through-out this country. We are considerably more active than any other county in the State of Florida right now in attracting potential companies that want to locate here. Regarding a question from Mr. Bangert about the Industrial Park still being vacant at the St. Lucie County Airport, Commissioner Coward explained the procedure the county is taking to get the park "turn-dirt" ready, whereby new tenants would not have to wait for site plan approval, rezoning, conditional uses, etc. that they would be move-in ready. Property & Homeowners Meeting July 8, 2009 Page 4 Mr. Pelton said that he does have a Fortune 500 company waiting to move in at the airport. He said that he felt confident that it would have already happened if the economy had not fallen through. Commissioner Coward said that, even though we are all interested in bio-medical and bio-tech, but that he doesn't think they would want to have all job opportunities put into "white lab coat" jobs. It is a huge resource to bring our educational system with it, but at the same time we are also interested in trying to pursue "blue and green collar" job opportunities, such as at the Research Park. There was a lengthy discussion about why a lot of the companies are coming here out of La Jolla, California. Commissioner Coward explained the county tax abatements and incentives that are available to new companies, it is not "cash out of hand." That is something that has to be approved by the voters every ten years. He said that it has been approved twice. Mr. Pelton added that it has taken financial incentives, and the county's job growth incentive program which awards a company grants based on the number of employees that companies will hire in this area. Discussion ensued regarding the tax abatement program. Commissioner Coward stated that The Florida Innovative Park that is in Tradition is focusing on Life Science, and then a second park, which is the Research Park on Kings Highway. He asked Mr. Pelton how many square feet are available at Tradition. Mr. Pelton said that there is a million square feet of space that is committed in Tradition. Martin Memorial Hospital and Lawnwood Medical are very important to Life Science Industry because they can provide clinical trials. Commissioner Coward said, think about this, we are in the deepest recession that we have been in over a century, and we have a million square feet committed that is being done or built right now. He said that he personally thinks that is amazing. For clarification, Commissioner Coward brought in a map of the county to show where both of these facilities are located. Discussion ensued. Mr. Pelton said that one of the things that we lack here is a large inventory of existing buildings. So almost all of the companies that we are recruiting are in a situation where Property & Homeowners Meeting July 8, 2009 Page 5 they will have to build. He said the county and the cities work with them on targeted industries that they will do an expedited review on permits for those companies.

He said that Mr. DeVries and Mr. Pelton work closely together on bringing in new businesses to St. Lucie County. Mr. DeVries thanked Commissioner Coward and the members for inviting him to speak today. He said that the commissioners authorized TCERDA in 2004. They invested about ten million dollars in land and appointed a board authority, made up of seven members, to operate the property. The park consists of 1600 acres of land or roughly 3 square miles. He then proceeded with apower-point presentation on the Treasure Coast Research Park. (Please double-click on the icon to view the presentation) E TCRP EDC_SLC_FiOA Press Mr. DeVries said that we are partnering with the school board to keep our kids here in St. Lucie County. He said that without "shovel ready" sites we cannot compete. He said that Phase one of the Research Park consists of 162 acres or 1.1 million square feet. He said their mission is to create educational businesses to attract "green collar" workers here, where Tradition is "white collar," but we think of it as a partnership. Commissioner Coward said that a lesson learned from Palm Beach County was when Scripps wanted to locate outside the Urban Service Boundary, (USB) so what we are trying to do in this case is to merge our Economic Development goals with our Growth Management strategies. For instance, we have 1600 acres that actually straddles the USB. When the county did the master-plan for the Research Park, we specifically asked that the vertical more intensive development to occur inside the USB, with the associated Ag-Science related business occurring in the western part of the Research Park that is outside of the USB. He said that the Research Park is actually in an area that we expect to be urbanized over time. The location of these economic development opportunities is a very important issue, and that is what we are trying to achieve here. Commissioner Coward explained the county's local, small scale stimulus package. He said that we are trying to move forward with capital projects that will employ those job sectors that have been hit the hardest by the downturn in the economy. He said that the county has a package of about forty-two million dollars of various projects that we are moving forward on. About ten percent of those dollars, about four and one-half million or so, the county has "ear-marked" for the Research Park. Companies are being recruited for the park, but first the roads and utilities have to be in the ground. Property & Homeowners Meeting July 8, 2009 Page 6 Discussion ensued regarding the dollars being used for "white collar" design to lay the system out, but also for the "blue collar" construction workers to go out and build those facilities. Mr. DeVries stated that the Research Center is top-of-the-line. We are going to have a great quality of life and very competitive prices for housing, and we're working closely with the schools to provide a great school experience for their kids. He said that they are not selling spaces, they are buying leases. Commissioner Coward asked that a map of the Research Park and surrounding land be put up on the screen. Bob Bangert stated that it was his opinion that we were not going to keep our kids here, if we don't improve our schools. He said that if you look at five counties that surrounds us, their kids have higher grades than kids do in our schools, and that bothers him. He said our kids are not being trained in our elementary and high schools for these jobs that are being brought in here. Mr. Pelton said that kids may go to school here, then go away to get work experience and then we try to draw them back here. Bill Hammer said that if we focus on the young people for education, are we throwing away the older people? We have a large workforce that needs an upgrading of their skills, if they are not employed at present, they too should be offered internship opportunities to improve their skills and become more productive in our society. The incentives are great, but they are not enough. We need a ready workforce that is coordinated with the education facilities. He gave a scenario about locations of schools; housing; insurance pricing and workers willing to follow their employers here from other states. John Ferrick asked if the annexations could affect the Park in any way. Commissioner Coward stated that it could. He had the map in front of him and then explained Ft. Pierce's position on the Park. He also explained the City annexations and how the county and City need to work together to get the land use changed now, so when the time comes permits can be expedited. He said that we plan to have a Charrette that will include local residents to design and plan the Park. There was a general discussion about the quality of education and how we need to raise the bar in St. Lucie County and about education being a lifelong endeavor. Property & Homeowners Meeting July 8, 2009 Page 7 Mr. DeVries asked the group if they could find some volunteers for him because they will have kids working on alternative fuel for vehicles, so they are going to need some guys/ladies that know something about working on cars. He said that you can contact him or Kathy Schmidt, Director of Career Academics at the St. Lucie County School Board. Her number is 772-429-3600. Commissioner Coward thanked the guest speakers for taking the time out of their busy schedules to speak to us today. He told them that they had done a lot of great work, and he knows that there will be a lot more to come. ITEM 6: OLD BUSINESS: Commissioner Coward asked whether or not there was any old business to discuss. Seeing none, he brought up Senate Bill 714 for a moment. He said that he is in full support of the bill. A brief discussion ensued. Ms. Ethel Rowland said you could learn more by going to the website at www.drugwardebate.com ITEM 7: NEW BUSINESS N PRIORITIZE FUTURE TOPICS OF DISCUSSION Before getting into new business, Commissioner Coward allowed Mr. Mark Boston to say a few words about health care issues. Mr. Boston said that with single payer family health care, the county could save 84 million dollars and the state could save 2-1/4 billion dollars. He said to call the President if you have to about HR 676. His number is on the paperwork that was handed out. He said it's the best bill out there regarding health care. (Please double-click on icon to view the information provided by Mr. Boston) Support Single Payer Health Care.pdf Commissioner Coward asked for suggestions for future meetings from the group. Several suggestions were made by the group. One was to hear the status of Martin Memorial opening a branch in Tradition in Western Port St. Lucie. Another was to hear about Harbor Branch and Florida Atlantic University (FAU.) Commissioner Coward suggested we could also invite our District 81, State Legislator Adam Fetterman to a future meeting. It was decided by the members to ask State Representative Adam Fetterman to the next meeting in August. If he is not available, then we will invite representatives in from FAU Property & Homeowners Meeting July 8, 2009 Page 8 and Harbor Branch. At a future meeting we will have the County's TPO Director and FDOT in to speak about road projects. Commissioner Coward announced that the August 12, 2009 meeting has been canceled. The next Homeowners meeting will be September 9, 2009 beginning at 10 a.m. at the County building in Conference room 3. Commissioner Coward thanked the members and the public for coming to the meeting. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a.m. Respectfully submitted by Charm/ine Burgess, Executive Aide to Commissioner Coward.
