ITEM NO. IV-D
Backqround:
The purpose of this Resolution is to raise public awareness of the St. Lucie County Extension Office, a
resource offering a wealth of researched-based education and educational programs.
Extension offices have been in existence for almost a century. Beginning with the Morrill Act legislation
in 1862 signed by President Lincoln, the Hatch Experiment Station Act in 1887, and culminating in 1918
with the Smith-Lever act - the country's Extension offices came into existence for the purpose of
ensuring the future of America's agricultural food supply, and educating the public on a variety of topics.
The St. Lucie County Extension Office upholds this tradition of keeping the public well informed in areas
of agriculture as well as other areas important to our region such as marine issues, finance, Florida's
natural resources, 4H, family and consumer issues, and others. Extension Awareness Week will
culminate with this year's "Spring Into Gardening" festival on May 14, 2010. Other events during the
week will include programs, tours, and other educational events.
Recommendation
Staff respectfully requests the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners approve Resolution 10-
129 - A Resolution proclaiming May 9, 2010 through May 15, 2010 as "Extension Awareness Week" in
St. Lucie County, Florida.

SUBJECT: Sunland Gardens, Harmony Heights 1, Harmony Heights 2, and Sunrise Park
Street Lighting Districts
ITEM NO. VI-D3
Backs~round:
The County has 19 Street Lighting Districts (SLDs). Two of the districts were created in 2000 and are funded
by non-ad valorem special assessments. The 17 other SLDs which were created prior to 1996 are funded by
millage-based ad valorem tax assessments.
Special assessments are different from tax assessments in that they are a fee charged to those who benefit
from a certain service or improvement. Therefore, they are not based on millage but on the actual cost of the
service or improvement.
As a result of discussions in last year's budget meeting with the Board, staff was directed to investigate the
feasibility of converting the method of collection for the 17 SLDs that are currently ad valorem tax
assessments to non-ad valorem special assessments. The uniform method for collection of non-ad valorem
assessments as set forth in Florida Statute 197.3632, is a fair and reasonable way to fund street lighting
improvements. While millage has remained constant, property values have decreased, and the charge for
electricity has increased. Therefore, ad valorem tax collections are no longer sufficient to fund the cost of
providing street tighting services to the prope~ties within each district.
It is our proposal to modify all of the ad valorem tax based SLDs to non-ad valorem special assessments.
Over the next four months, a public hearing will be held for each of the 17 SLDs for the Board to consider
comments from property owners before deciding whether to convert the method of assessment from ad
valorem taxes to non-ad valorem special assessments.

FROM: Daniel J. Lutzke, Risk Manager
DATE: May 4, 2009
SUBJECT: Catastrophic Inmate Medical Insurance Annual Policy
ITEM NO. VI-E
Backqround:
This catastrophic inmate medical insurance policy has been in effect since May 1, 2009 and now
requires payment of a renewal premium in order to extend coverage from May 1, 2010 through Aprit 30,
2011. This policy provides protection for the County from extremely large medical insurance claims
involving incarcerated inmates. Claims such as kidney disease, heart ailments, severe trauma, etc.,
requiring surgery or long term in-patient hospital care are very costly. The County received
$184,272.53 in reimbursements from this insurance coverage during FY 2009 and projections show
recoveries in excess of $125,000 from the insurance policy currently in effect.
This Optum Specific Stop Loss Health policy provides a high Average Daily Maximum (ADM) per
admission coverage of $9,000 for the first 3 days and $5,000 thereafter. There is no overall annual
aggregate maximum coverage limit. Catastrophic coverage reimburses the county for off-jail premises
inmate medical costs that are in excess of a$75,000 per individual inmate Specific Deductible. Optum
insurance now offers to renew this policy with a$77,540.40 premium. This is a 12.3% reduction from
last year's premium of $88,506.
Attachments
A. Hunt Insurance Group Invoice No. 154657 in the amount of $77,540.00
B. OptumHealth letter of approval of the Specific Excess Loss coverage policy.
Previous Action

Backqround:
This agenda item is a request for Board approval of Budget Resolution No. 10-141 (Attachment A) to
appropriate and expend funds received from the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM)'s
Citizen Corps Program in the amount of $7,000. The grant is for the continuation of the St. Lucie County

recruitment of more than 230 St. Lucie County residents who learned about community preparedness,
family safety measures and general safety precautions.

SUBJECT: Severe Repetitive Loss Program - Contracts
ITEM NO. VI-G4
Backqround:
Applications have been submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to mitigate
seven residential properties that qualify under the Severe Repetitive Loss Pilot Program. This program
was designed to provide funding to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to severe
repetitive loss structures insured under the National Flood Insurance Program. Under various conditions
and qualifications, the program will:
• Elevate the structure, or
• Acquire and relocate or demolish the structure. If acquired, the land must remain as open space in
perpetuity and be maintained by a government entity, or
• Demolish and reconstruct the home.
Subject to the program limitations, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, through the Florida
Division of Emergency Management, provides 90% of the mitigation cost. The homeowner is
responsible for the remaining 10%, but must pay for the costs and seek reimbursement through the
County to the State of Florida Department of Emergency Management (FLDEM).
Contracts have been received from the FLDEM for five of the seven applications and authorize funding
for the flood mitigation of five properties (Attachment A). The remaining two applications are still under
review. This does not include an application for the property owners who spoke to the Board several
weeks ago: Jacques Beumer and Irene-Eva Ries, 5209 Palmetto Avenue Fort Pierce, FL 34982.
The grant does not require a cash contribution from the County and allows 5% of the total project cost
for administration and project management to be paid to the County. Should the County's administrative
costs exceed 5%, the overage would not be reimbursed.
The Board approved funding of $24,000 needed for technical studies to develop the grant applications.
Only $8,020 of the $24,000 allocation was needed to complete the technical studies. Therefore, the fund
was closed at the end of the 2008-2009 fiscal year. This $8,020 in costs has been added to the cost of
the mitigation projects, and should be reimbursed to the County when reimbursement through the grant
is requested. The estimated project cost for the first five properties is $1,347,379, which would result in
an administrative fee to the County of $67,368.95. The three elevation projects will require project

FROM: Daniel 5. McIntyre, County Attorney
C. A . NO. : 10-0460
DATE: March 22, 2010
SUBJECT: Ordinnnce No. 10-022 - Repealing Ordinance No. 07-004 which
creuted the Whispering Oaks Community Development District
BACK6ROUND:
Attached to this memorandum is n copy of a letter dated October 27, 2009, from Daniel
B. Harrell, Esquire, to Jack Gnskins, Jr., and the County Administrator. As outlined in Mr. Harrell's
letter, the Whispering Oaks Community Development District has not filed the reports or
information required by Inw and is, therefore, considered to be inactive. Under Florida law, before
a community development district can be declared inactive nnd dissolved, a notice must be
published in a newspaper of generul circulation in the County. After 21 dnys from the date of
publication of the notice and if no appeol has been filed, DCA determines whether to declare the
district inactive. DCA declared the District inactive on Mnrch 8, 2010. If a district is declared
inactive, all district funds (in this case, approximutely $1,400.00) will escheat to the County. In
addition, the County has the option of repealing the ordinance establishing the district (Ordinance
No. 07-004). Attached is a copy of draft Ordinance No. 10-022 which, if adopted, woulod repeal
Ordinnnce No. 07-004.
RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION :
Staff recommends thnt the Board adopt Ordinance No.10-022 and authorize the Chairman
to sign the Ordinance.
