ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 10-0617
DATE: May 10, 2010
SUBJECT: Green Collar Task Force Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee, Inc. -
Facilities Use Agreement
BACKGROUND:
On June 16, 2009, the County entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with
several trade unions and Workforce Solutions to provide for the creation of a registered
apprenticeship program to develop and train workers in green collar jobs in St. Lucie
County. As provided in the Memorandum of Agreement, the unions have formed a not for
profit corporation to administer the apprenticeship program, Green Collar Task Force
Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee, Inc. Attached to this memorandum is a copy
of the proposed Facilities Use Agreement with the Task Force for the use of
approximately 10,000 square feet inside the Logistics Center and 2,500 square feet in the
Logistics Center parking lot to house the program. The agreement requires the Task Force
to achieve a total minimum enrollment of one hundred twenty-five (125) for 2010. Two
spaces will also be provided for County employees to participate in classes which will assist
in the performance of their duties for the County. The Task Force will be required to
submit annual reports to document the green technologies curriculum, enrollment, student
retention rate, completion rate for each program, and utilization of the Training Center.
The Task Force will also provide apprentices to assist the County with its housing
rehabilitation program and other projects. The initial term of the agreement will be for
five (5) years, subject to extension upon mutual agreement of the parties. Due to its
members' financial investment in the Training Center and the length of the training
programs, the Task Force proposed that termination by the County during the first forty-
eight (48) months be for cause only. In the event the term of the agreement is extended,
termination by the County without cause would be permitted upon twelve (12) months prior
notice. Representatives from the unions have been working with County staff on the
renovations to the Logistics Center and classes are scheduled to begin on June 7, 2010.

SUBMITTED BY: County Attorney/Criminal Justice Div. Criminal Justice Coordinator
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 10-160 to award the 2010-2011 Alcohol and Other Drug
Abuse Treatment Fund Grant to the St. Lucie County Drug Screening Lab
pursuant to Section 893.165F.S.
BACKGROUND: The St. Lucie County Drug Lab qualifies as an alcohol and drug abuse prevention,
treatment and or education program in accordance to Section 893.165, Florida
Statutes and St. Lucie Code and Complied Laws Section 1-7-23. The St. Lucie
County Drug Lab opened on July1, 2008. The lab tests clients from the criminal,
pretrial and family divisions of court along with providing tests to specialized courts
such as Mental Health and Drug Court. Many of the clients are "waived" by the
courts due to indigence declarations by the Judges. The drug abuse treatment
fund would help off set the cost of chemicals for the defendants who have had
their fees waived by the courts.
FUNDS AVAILABLE: N/A
PREVIOUS ACTION: In 2007 the Board awarded the Lab appx. $48,000.00 in drug abuse trust fund
dollars. In 2008 the Board awarded the Lab $14,300.00 in drug abuse trust fund
dollars. In 2009 the Board awarded the Lab through Resolution $63,000.00 in drug
abuse trust fund dollars.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution No. 10-160 and award the
2010-2011 funds collected from the Drug Abuse trust fund to the St. Lucie County
Drug Screening Lab. Once approved the FY10/11 budget will be revised to reflect
this annual allocation.

MEMO RAN DU M 10-0631
TO: Board of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Daniel S. McIntyre, County Attorney
FROM: Mark J. Godwin, Criminal Justice Coordinator
DATE: May 25, 2010
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 09-237 to award the 2010-2011 Drug Abuse Trust Fund to
the St. Lucie County Drug Screening Lab
ITEM NO. Consent / VI-B-3
Background:
On March 18, 2008, the Board approved the implementation and opening of the St. Lucie County
Drug Screening Lab. The Lab opened on July 1, 2008, and currently averages 407 individual tests
per week.
The Judiciary supports the SLC Lab and feels the lab is vital program in substance abuse detection
of defendants. Furthermore Successful completion and management of defendants participating in
Mental Health and Drug Court is paramount to successful programs and specialty courts.
In 2009, Judge Cox stated "Many graduates have admitted that drug testing was the biggest
deterrent to relapse. As a felony judge, I was much more confident in allowing someone to be
released from the jail, knowing that they would be drug tested and if they used, their bonds or ROR
were immediately revoked by the pretrial services dept. Many of the litigants are on SSI/SSD and
are unable to pay the full testing fees. Drug addiction requires random and frequent testing to serve
as a true deterrent, which can be costly to many, although the frequency decreases once they are
involved in treatment and meetings. Without continued drug testing in SLC, our jail population will
expand quickly".
Once awarded, the funds would be used to help offset the cost of the indigent drug screening.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution No. 10-160 and award the 2010/2011 funds
collected from the Drug Abuse Treatment Fund to the St. Lucie County Drug Screening Lab. Due to
economic conditions the funds for FY 10/11 are estimated to be $30,000.00 which is $33,000.00
less than what was awarded last year.

STORMWATER TREATMENT AREAS PROJECTS IN ST.
LUCIE COUNTY.
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the
following determinations:
1. The St. Lucie Estuary and Indian River Lagoon are one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems
in the United States, and a healthy estuary provides immense socioeconomic benefits to
the community, and as such, is the economic lifeblood of Martin and St. Lucie Counties.
2. The North Fork of the St. Lucie River was designated an Aquatic Preserve in 1972 and is
designated an Outstanding Florida Water pursuant to Rule 62-302.700 F.A.C. and is
detrimentally affected by high nutrient discharges from the watershed.
3. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has designated the St. Lucie Estuary
an impaired water body for nutrients and established a Total Maximum Daily Load which
limits the concentration of nutrients entering the St. Lucie River and Estuary.
4. Drainage from the C-23 and C-24 drainage basins contain the highest levels of nutrients in
the watershed, which continue to damage the Estuary and Lagoon and make conditions
such that meeting the Total Maximum Daily Load in the Estuary unachievable.
5. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan's Final Indian River Lagoon -South Project
Implementation Report and Environmental Impact Statement indicate that the C-23 and
C-24 Stormwater Treatment Areas are designed to remove 80% of the phosphorus from
water entering the reservoirs.
6. The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan's Final Indian River Lagoon -South Project
Implementation Report and Environmental Impact Statement also state that the Indian
River Lagoon ecosystem will continue to deteriorate and are in imminent danger of
ecological collapse if the plan is not implemented.
7. The South Florida Water Management District has invested $135 million in land acquisition
for the C-23 and C-24 projects with an estimated 1,300 acres needed to complete the
South Reservoir and Stormwater Treatment Area land acquisition.

SUBJECT: Amendment to Contract for Preventive Maintenance Services for County Fleet
Vehicles
ITEM NO. VI-C2
Background:
In 2008, St. Lucie County bid the preventive maintenance services for County fleet vehicles to be
used on an as -needed basis. Reliable Tire & Auto Care Center, located in Ft. Pierce, was the
lowest, responsive and responsible bidder and was awarded the contract.
At the time, staff analyzed the contract and concluded that the vendor could provide the services at
a lower cost due to discounts they receive by buying in bulk. The vendor could also perform the
work in a timelier manner. Since 2008, County staff has been reduced which limits our capacity to
perform the work ourselves.
All prices will remain firm for the entire tem of the contract. The initial contract was for a period of
one year and allowed for two additional one-year renewal options. The current term expires on
August 21, 2010. There is one additional option for a one-year renewal period. With this renewal,
this service would be bid mid -year 2011. During FY 2008-2009, St. Lucie County spent
$38,895.76 under this contract.

SUBJECT: St. Lucie West Library Annual Payment
ITEM NO. VI -El
Background:
The Board of County Commissioners entered into an interlocal agreement (C95-08-592) with IRSC in
1995 to provide library services in a limited branch capacity on the St. Lucie West Campus of IRSC.
The St. Lucie West Library is available to students from Indian River State College (IRSC) and Florida
Atlantic University as well as the general public.
The Library Division, through the State Aid to Libraries grant program and the County general fund,
provides partial funding for three (3) full-time IRSC library staff members; funds for the collection; as
well as operational funds on an annual basis. The funds needed to help in the operation of the St.
Lucie West Library for FY09/10 were calculated to be $220,880; with $177,200 paid directly to IRSC
and $43,680 for the book rental plan, reference books, audio-visual materials and subscriptions paid
directly to the vendors. A shortfall occurred due to budget reductions from the State Legislature with
$45,656 less coming in for State Aid funding. Talks with IRSC took place and a final renegotiated
FY2009/10 payment to IRSC of $150,197 was agreed upon.
This cooperative venture is a win -win for the residents of St. Lucie County. The use of this facility
continues to grow each year. The access to advanced technology, on -site computer training and a
diverse collection of materials for public use is a wonderful addition to the Library System. Data
provided in the attachments show that the greatest users of this facility are St. Lucie County citizens
who represent 57% of circulation and 51% of Internet users. For the money spent, the County is
getting an excellent return on our investment.
Recommendation:
Board approval of annual payment of $150,197 for Contracted Services to IRSC for library services at
St. Lucie West Library for FY2009/10.

DATE: May 25, 2010
SUBJECT: SirsiDynix Annual Software Maintenance Contract Renewal
ITEM NO. VI-E2
Background:
The software maintenance contract is essential to the continued function and upgrade of the Library's
online system (see attached schedule). The software maintenance agreement has been in place since
the purchase of the software in 1991. Staff forwards problems to SirsiDynix Client Care by email;
problems are corrected in a timely manner. The Client Care staff is just a phone call away for system
emergencies or advice on how to generate new reports and configure new system parameters, as they
are needed. SirsiDynix software maintenance also provides for the periodic upgrading of the online
system to the most recent releases with interim fixes as needed.
The alternative to the yearly maintenance agreement is to pay SirsiDynix technicians a high hourly rate
for each request; upgrades would have to be purchased individually with additional charges for the
SirsiDynix technician to implement the update. SirsiDynix is a proprietary vendor for this software
maintenance contract.
As with any online system product, access to the software and its inner workings is reserved to the
vendor and not shared with the customer. Library and Information Technology staff cannot edit or alter
the software. Information Technology staff rely heavily on the help of the SirsiDynix technicians to correct
any system problems and assess the compatibility of proposed system component upgrades.
Recommendation:
Board approval of SirsiDynix software maintenance contract in the amount of $33,161.71 and
authorization for the Chair to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney.

ITEM NO. VI- E3
Background:
On February 2, 2009, Madison Vines, L.L.0 received site plan approval from the City of Fort Pierce
to construct a 92-unit affordable housing complex to be located at 4202 Oleander Avenue, Fort
Pierce.
A condition of approval required the developer to install a transit shelter and other related
infrastructure in the next two years. This request was made to accommodate residents and riders
who will need access to transit at this development and the surrounding area.

MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: St. Lucie County Water and Sewer District Annual Comprehensive Report for Fiscal Year
2008/2009
ITEM NO. VI — F2
Background:
In 2004, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 04-023 creating the St. Lucie
County Water and Sewer District ("District'). A requirement of the District, under Section 153.75, Florida
Statutes, is preparation, acceptance and filing of a comprehensive annual report of the District Utility
system.
The Utility field review was completed in March and the Utility Financial Statements are not available
until the first of April. The report is filed pursuant to Florida Statutes which requires filing at least once a
year. Attached is the Annual Comprehensive Report of the District for Fiscal Year 2008/2009.
Highlights of the report:
• The one million gallon storage tank at Holiday Pines Water Treatment Plant was completed and put
into service.
• The customer base and purchased water have both increased due to the addition of water
customers in Indian River Estates, however as the result of conservation efforts overall water
consumption for the District is down.
• The field inspection and evaluations of the various utility facilities were overall favorable. Some of
the corrective maintenance items have already been completed and the remainder are in the
process of being addressed.
• The combined District revenue from all sources is 5.5%, or $276,707, less than FY08.
• The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Assets on page 24 indicates an
operating loss, however depreciation is not an outlay of cash and as shown on the Statement of
Cash Flows on page 26, Net cash provided by operating activities for the District was $1,068,164.
Recommendation
Board adoption of Resolution No. 10-154 ratifying and accepting the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 St. Lucie
County Water and Sewer District Annual Comprehensive Report.

DATE: May 25, 2010
SUBJECT: TDC Capital Funding for National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum
ITEM NO. Vill
Background:
On March 23, 2010 the Board unanimously approved to fully fund the Backus Gallery and Museum
project in the amount of $300,000, fully fund the Heathcote Botanical Garden project in the amount
$148,720 and allocate $8,000 for the renovation of the TDC visitors center. Total funds allocated was
$456, 720.
On March 23, 2010, the Board directed staff to review and consider bonding future TDC capital funds
to fund the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum's $400,000 expansion project and present to the
Tourist Development Council for recommendation. It was determined by staff that bonding the funds
was not a feasible option due to the prohibitive costs of issuance and interest. Two other options
were presented to the TDC for recommendation:
1. The SEAL Museum borrows the funds on the basis of an agreement that the TDC capital funds
are used to reimburse the Museum for payments on the loan.
2. Provide the SEAL Museum with the balance of the FY2010 capital funds and the projected
FY2011 capital funds; approximately $193,528. The SEAL Museum then borrows the remaining
funds on the basis of an agreement that the TDC capital funds are used to reimburse the Museum
for payments on the loan.
The TDC unanimously voted to fund the SEAL Museum through FY2011 or in the amount of an
estimated $193,528. The TDC expressed concerns about committing TDC capital funds for four
years.
Recommendation
Board consideration -of the TDC's recommendation to enter into a grant agreement with the National
Navy UDT-SEAL Museum to provide TDC capital funds generated in the remaining FY2010 and the
entire FY2011 for an estimated amount of $193,528 or Board consideration to fully fund the UDT-
SEAL expansion project in the amount of $400,000.

DATE: May 25, 2010
SUBJECT: - Artificial Reef Grant Application
ITEM NO.: III-B
Backaround:
The FishAmerica Foundation — N.O.A.A. Community Based Restoration Program grants up to
$70,000 to projects that support significant restoration efforts that are focused on marine,
estuarine, and riparian habitats. Projects should emphasize a hands-on, grassroots approach.
St. Lucie County's Artificial Reef Program has deployed 19 artificial reefs that help support
growth and survival of numerous regulated fish species that are experiencing overfishing and
are threatened by habitat degradation, including but not limited to snook, gag, and Goliath
grouper. The proposed artificial reefs and oyster reefs would complement other fish habitat in
the area and would benefit species that use both inshore and offshore habitats during their life
history.
The $70,000 requested from the Community Based Restoration Program will pay for
construction, transportion, and deployment of 30 artificial reef modules. A $600 match to the
construction grant will be used to pay for oyster reef material (fossilized oyster shell, bagging
materials) costs. A $34,000 match will be provided by the Artificial Reef Program to help pay for
two additional artificial reef deployments. $7,870 in County funds will be used to pay for annual
monitoring over 2 years. Monitoring costs may be reduced by as much as $7,870 by a Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission artificial reef monitoring grant.
Volunteers will be used to create oyster bags for 1,000 square feet of oyster reef in the Indian
River Lagoon, deploy ten 100 square foot oyster reefs in five different locations, and to conduct
pre -deployment dives for the two artificial reef deployments offshore. Funds will come from
Account 184-3710-563005-39003, Erosion District -Artificial Reefs -Consulting Engineer and 184-
3710-563000-39003, Erosion District -Artificial Reefs -Infrastructure.
Recommendation:
Erosion District Board approval of an artificial reef construction grant application to the
FishAmerica Foundation — N.O.A.A. Community Based Restoration Program for $70,000.
