DATE: October 27, 2009
SUBJECT: Approve a Second Amended Agreement between St. Lucie County and Satellite
Tracking of People, LLC.(S.T.O.P.)
ITEM NO. VI B 4
Backs~round:
Since June of 2007, the County has contracted with Satellite Tracking of People, LLC. (S.T.O.P.)
for the electronic monitoring of criminal defendants and offenders. The County Pretrial Release
Program has been satisfied with the services of S.T.O.P. resulting in positive judicial decisions for the
program. The judiciary is also satisfied with the results that GPS provides.
In June 2009, (S.T.O.P.) agreed to a price reduction, which resulted in a $102,000.00 savings this
fiscal year. The SLC Pretrial Program has saved the County an estimated $2,786,220.00 from June
2008 to June 2009, versus the cost of incarceration. Furthermore, this G.P.S. technology in
conjunction with the Pretrial Program has decreased the "Failure to Appear" rate on defendants
ordered to GPS tracking by the judiciary. The proposed Second Amendment would formalize the cost
reduction and extend the Agreement through September 30, 2010.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the Board approve the Second Amendment to the June 22, 2007 Agreement, and
extending G.P.S. services through September 30, 2010, and authorize the Chair to sign the
Amendment.

conduct a public hearing and may order the vacation, demolition, repair or removal of the unsafe
structure. All associated costs shall be assessed against the property by filing a lien.
In accordance with Section 2-5-42, this memorandum is to document a finding by the Building

SUBJECT: Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) Modification
ITEM NO. VI-F3
Backs~round•
The NSP program was authorized by the US Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The
NSP funds are to be used to acquire, rehabilitate, demolish and redevelop foreclosed and
abandoned properties to stabilize neighborhoods. On December 1, 2008, the Florida Department
of Community Affairs (DCA) announced the funding allocations for the state NSP; St. Lucie County
was allocated $3,984,601. A required 25 percent (25%) of the allocation, $840,041, must be used
for rental housing for residents with incomes at or below 50 percent (50°k) of the Area Median
Income.
St. Lucie County has until September 3, 2010 to commit all of the funding. In order to broaden the
target areas, staff is proposing to revise the targeted areas from the following census tracts to the
entire unincorporated area:
• Census Tract 0901 -Fort Pierce North;
• Census Tract 0902 -Fort Pierce North;
• Census Tract 1101 -Lakewood Park;
• Census Tract 1503 -River Park;
• Census Tract 2001 -River Park; and
• Census Tract 2002 -River Park.
Attached is the modification document provided by DCA in which only the shaded bullet will be
revised.

On September 29, 2009, a mandatory project review with contractors was completed. On October 13,
2009, bids were evaluated in compliance with the approved Housing Assistance Plan. A cost estimate
was prepared for each bid. In order to decrease the potential for change orders, bids falling 15 percent

contractors:
• IFB 14 (Rehabilitation) to Gentile, LLC located in West Palm Beach, for $42,155.

SUBJECT: Permission to advertise for after-hours childcare vendor
fTEM NO. VI - F6
Background:
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) is a federal grant designed to assist residents with:
• Securing and maintaining meaningful employment (at least 35% of funds must be
used for this goal);
• Attaining adequate education;
• Making better use of available income;
• Obtaining and maintaining adequate housing and suitable living environment;
• Removing obstacles and solving problems that block achievement of self-
sufficiency;
• Achieving greater participation in the affairs of a community; and
• Making more effective use of other programs.
The Treasure Coast Community Action Agency (TCCAA) is the lead agency for this
regional grant which includes Martin, Okeechobee and St. Lucie Counties. The mission of
TCCAA is to partner with other human services organizations, the private sector and
citizens to offer programs and services that assist residents toward self sufficiency. Each
County budgets their funds based on ident~ed resident needs. Okeechobee County has
chosen not to participate in this ARRA program. Martin County will receive $146,855 and
St. Lucie will receive $321,880.
A Community Needs Assessment ident~ed a gap in services in the community for those
lower income residents who struggle with finding supervision for their children when they
are at work. This is especially true for those individuals who work evening/nighttime hours.
The inability to find this type of care has led to job loss and an inability to obtain post
secondary education. Vendors for an after-hours childcare program to assist working
parents are being sought. The Invitation To Bid will identify a provider(s) to address this

The Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Initiative (CDBG DRI) Grant is a federal
program that provides funding for low-income residents located in communities that have been
affected by a natural disaster. Congress appropriates additional funding for the CDBG program as
Disaster Recovery grants to rebuild affected areas and provide money to start the recovery process.
These funds were allocated in response to Hurricane Wilma.
St. Lucie County was the lead entity with sub-recipient agreements with the cities of Port St. Lucie and
Fort Pierce. Seventy percent (70%) of the funding allocated was to be spent on housing activities. The
remaining thirty percent (30°~) could be spent on infrastructure activities. The City of Port St. Lucie
dedicated its funds ($387,738) to flood and drainage improvements of Darwin Boulevard. The Darwin
Boulevard project came in under budget at $208,229.35 with $179,508.65 remaining to be allocated.
The'City of Port St. Lucie approved moving the remaining funds to St. Lucie County for housing
activities. The City of Fort Pierce and St. Lucie County dedicated their funding ($452,361 each) to
housing rehabilitation/replacement for homes damaged from Hurricane Wlma.
Modification Number Six will revise the budget, moving funds from rehabilitation to replacement.
Attached is the modification document provided by the Department of Community Affairs in which only
the shaded bullet will be revised.

Toby Long /
SUBMITTED BY: St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office Director of Finance
SUBJECT: Law Enforcement Impact Fees for budget year 2009.
BACKGROUND: All of these expenditures are related to the growth of the county and expansion of
services to meet that growth. The Sheriff is requesting the following
disbursements from the Law Enforcement Impact Fee:
• Document Imaging System Phase III
Due to increases in population served and the resulting paperwork,
electronic storage of documents is necessary to allow for efficient storage
and retrieval of documents. The current system of paper storage is
overtaxed and storage space is limited and expensive. Total cost,
$250, 000.
• Emergency Locator
As the County continues to grow and federal agencies are tasked with
other missions, the Sheriff is called upon to respond to both emergency
beacons (EPERV) from ships and airplanes and vehicle locator systems
(LOJAC). These locators, attached to two of the Sheriff's helicopters,
allows for countywide response. Total cost, $46,300.
FUNDS AVAILABLE:
PREVIOUS ACTION:
• Electronic Evidence Storage and Authentication
Due to changes in technology as well as the increased volume of evidence
to be stored, there is a need to streamline the evidence process. The
proposed technology will not only manage the number of physical items to
be stored, but will also preserve the chain of custody for court submission.
Total cost, $140,000.

From: Gertrude Walker,
Supervisor of Elections
Date: October 2, 2009
Re: Funding for Mandate of Voting Equipment
In 2007 the Florida Legislature, at the request of Governor Charlie Crist and Secretary of
State Kurt Browning, voted to make Florida a "paper ballot" state. For St. Lucie County,
this 20071egislation will result in the second voting system purchased since 2001, from
Touch Screens ADA voting machines to AutoMark ADA "paper ballot" machines at a
cost of $523,012.00 for fiscal year 2010/2011.
101.56075 (1) (2) F.S. By 2012 all voting shall be by marked sense ballots utilizing a
marking device for the purpose of designating ballot selections.
This means that persons with disabilities will no longer be allowed to use the touch
screen voting system. The 120 touch screens purchased in 2005 at a cost of $ 446,984.15
can become an addition to the county's artificial reefs program.
Please add your name to the attached Position Paper showing your support for an
extension of this requirement to be delayed from 2012 until 2016. I am placing this
request on the October .lit" Agenda for your consideration and vote.

NACO has awarded a grant in the amount of $50,000 to St. Lucie County for restoration activities on
Spoil Island SL-3. Those activities include removal of exotic plants, planting of native plants,
reconnection of a small wetland on the island and watering maintenance of the plants. The local
match is derived from the Indian River Lagoon License Plate Grant ($15,185), contractual services
which the Mosquito Control District used to get the permits and which are needed for bid scope
development ($25,465), monitoring and permit compliance ($8,650), and in-kind logistical support
($700).
