RESOLUTION NO. 10-315
A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING DECEMBER 11, 2010 AS
"SANTA LUCIA DAY DAY OF DISCOVERY" IN ST. LUCIE
COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made
the following determinaiions:
1. Historians believe that the name "St. Lucie" was first applied to this area by the
Spanish.
2. In 1565, Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles, having destroyed the French Fort
Carline on the St. Johns River, turned south to meet the bulk of the French
forces, who had been driven ashore by a hurricane South of St. Augustine.
3. Menendez met the French at Mantanzas Inlet and the French who surrendered
were put to death. The French, who did not surrender, went south to Cape
Canaveral, built a stockade and started building a ship to go home.
4. Some time later, Don Pedro captured the French and together with the Spanish,
marched the group south heading for the Barra d Ays, as our area was then
known.
5. Supplies ran short and Menendez left most of his men encamped on the barrier
island across from modern Vero Beach and sailed to Havana to get more food.
6. After running out of things to trade with the Indians, Menendez's men started
stealing from the Indians. Fearing attack from the Indians, the men fled south on
foot to Rio, near modern day Martin County.
7. On December 13, 1565, the Spanish and French ferried across the St. Lucie River
and down the Indian River Lagoon close to present day Jupiter, where they
stopped, built a small stockade, raised a flag and celebrated the Feast of Santa
Lucea. This is when the entire area first became known as Santa Lucia (or Lucea).
8. At various times, the area covering the Treasure Coast had been known as "East
Florida" as well as St. Johns County, until it was divided into many counties with
this area known first as Mosquito County, then as Santa Lucea County, then
Brevard County, and finally in 1905 as St. Lucie County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St.
Lucie County, Florida:

ITEM NO. VI-D1
Backqround:
Prison Health Services (PHS) acts as a third party administrator for prisoner health care and
manages and pays for medical care expenses for incarcerated jail inmates that are provided off-site
(outside the Jail). The County then reimburses PHS for invoices PHS has paid. Florida Statutes
make the County responsible for payment of inmate medical services, including psychotropic drugs,
whenever the inmate has no viable method of paying for medical services. PHS has now submitted
: Invoice Number PHS0008360 (Attachment A) for those Fourth Quarter medical services that PHS
has already paid for in the amount of $277,044.65 and is requesting reimbursement from the County.
PHS has also submitted information showing that an additional $216,875.63 in FY-2010 medical
utilization costs has been submitted to PHS for payment. PHS will submit those costs to the County
for payment after they have processed them, confirmed their accuracy and paid the providers. By
contract, PHS has 150 days after September 30, 2010, to submit FY-2010 costs to the County for
reimbursement.
The total FY-2010 Inmate Utilization cost paid to date is $2,019,911.24. Adding this invoice of
$277,044.65 and the anticipated closing invoice of $216,875.63 to that total shows a total FY-2010
Inmate Utilization cost of $2,513,831.52. The combining of Utilization cost with the paid HIV
Medication costs of $475,358.00 results in a FY-2010 total cost for off-site Inmate Medical care of
$2,989,189.52.
Previous Action:
Board Approval of:
FY 2010 monthly inmate HIV Medication payments totaling $475,358.00.

SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit approval for MCZ/Centrum Citrus Farms, LLC Mine
ITEM NO. VII-A
Backqround:
. The subject petition is for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a sand and coquina rock mining operation
on approximately 1,220 acres within the AG-5 (Agricultural - 1 unit per 5 acres) Zoning District. The
proposed mining operation is located on the north side of Orange Avenue, between Minute Maid
Road and the C-24 Canal.
In conjunction with the application for a Conditional Use Permit, the applicant has applied for a Mining
. Permit, which is scheduled for consideration following this item. A recommended condition of approval
: for the Conditional Use Permit is that prior to any mining activities occurring on the property a Mining
Permit shall be obtained. All activities authorized by the Mining Permit must be consistent with the
approved Conditional Use Permit, or a modification to the Conditional Use Permit is required.
;
_ The proposed mining operation may be authorized upon the Board's approval of a Conditional Use
' Permit pursuant to SLC Land Development Code (LDC) Section 3.01.03(C)(7)(i), Mining and
; quarrying of nonmetallic minerals, except fuels. As depicted on the site and mining plan, the applicant
proposes a Class II Mining Permit to excavate sand and coquina rock within a 562.2 acre area on the
parcel over a 20-year period.
The subject property and surrounding lands have been utilized for agricultural purposes over the past few
decades. Access to the mine will be provided via 24-foot wide haul road. There will be two maintenance
structures totaling 10,650 s.f., a 15 acre outdoor storage area for equipment and vehicles, a 630 square-
foot scale house, and a 27.4 acre stockpile area located near the front of the parcel The closest single
family residence to the mine lies approximately 225 feet on the west side of Minute Maid Road.
At the August 19, 2010 public hearing on this matter, the St. Lucie County Planning and Zoning
= Commission recommended denial of the request by a vote of 5 to 1(Stephanie Morgan dissenting).
Two truck haul routes (Orange Avenue and Sneed Road) along with their impacts were reviewed and
discussed. Most area residents at the meeting primarily voiced concems regarding the use, safety
and maintenance of Orange Avenue.

DATE: December 7, 2010
SUBJECT: MCZ/Centrum Citrus Farms Mine
ITEM NO. VII-B
Background:
The proposed MCZ/Centrum Citrus Farms mine is located on the north side of Orange Avenue
. approximately nine miles west of Kings Highway. The proposed mine is situated inside of a 1200-
acre parcel on which no previous mining activity has previously been approved. Access to and
` from the site will be via Orange Avenue to Kings Highway.
Orange Avenue is one of the most important east-west arterial routes in our County. As the name
implies, it serves the agricultural community as the farm-to-market roadway and is vitally important
to citrus growers and cattlemen alike. Use of the roadway by agriculture is primarily with large
trucks.
The County has long recognized the wear-and-tear endured by Orange Avenue from the elevated
percentage of large trucks in the traffic stream. Although the travel lane width meets the current
standard of 12 feet, one can still find indications that, albeit infrequently, the outside truck tires are
_ still leaving the roadway surface and are riding on the shoulder. Drop-offs can result if
maintenance is not performed promptly. The County has long requested assistance at both the
state and federal level but these requests have not yet borne fruit.
The applicant has offered to assist the County in its efforts to reconstruct Orange Avenue. They
are seeking a Class II mining permit to mine sand and rock, the very materials needed for
roadway reconstruction. The permit would be valid for 20 years.
They propose to develop the mine utilizing standard construction procedures and equipment, not
much different than those currently being implemented on other approved mines inside St. Lucie
County. Blasting has not been requested and is not permitted.
, This mine will be constructed in the dry. After dewatering, the overburden will be scrapped off,
stock piled and processed. In a similar fashion the underlying rock will likewise be removed, stock
piled and processed. Trucks will enter the mine via Orange Avenue utilizing turn lanes
constructed by and specifically for the mine. Trucks leaving the mine are required to use the same
route.

SUBJECT: Library Branch Expansions
ITEM NO. VIII
At the informal Board meeting on Novembe~ 23, 2010, a discussion about the energy improvements
to the Hurston Branch's expansion plans identified the need for a background summary on the
trajectory of both the Hurston and the Morningside Branch expansion plans.
Zora Neale Hurston Branch Library Expansion Background
In 1987, the Friends of the St. Lucie County Library purchased property on North 29th Street and
Avenue D for the construction of a new library. The Friends donated this land to St. Lucie County and
the Zora Neale Hurston Branch opened December, 1991. This 5,200 square foot facility was designed
' with the long-term plan to expand to approximately 10,000 square feet.
Expansion of Hurston Branch was first included in the Library's 1994 five year capital plan with a
projected construction year of 1998-1999. The new downtown Fort Pierce Branch and the
Morningside Branch were also on this non-prioritized list.
Over the next 10 years, the Library developed five year capital plans with the Hurston expansion
' projected first for FY 2003 and then again for FY 2008. In FY 2007, the project was anticipated to cost
: approximately $1,200,000, including furniture, fixtures and equipment (FFE) and it was projected that
in FY 2008, $1,000,000 of that sum would be available from impact fees. The remaining capital funds
of $200,000 were committed by the Friends of the Library to cover the projected shortfall.
The construction plans for the Hurston Branch expansion were completed in August 2009. The project
went out to bid on January 20, 2010. Sisca Construction Services was the low bidder at $667,269.
The original bid was valid for 180 days. Sisca agreed to two additional time extensions. The current
' extension expires on December 15, 2010. When FFE costs of $200,000 were included, the cost of
the expansion would be $867,269.Currently the impact fees available are $1,134,494 in Zone A. The
total cost of this project, including FFE costs can be covered from Impact fees. Subsequently, the
Friends have withdrawn their support for the capital part of this project.
- The Library system currently has 63,000 square feet of facility space which places the County well
below the state-recommended standards of .60 square feet per capita or 159,901 total square feet.
Hurston Branch's expansion is planned to be 4,200 square feet which would bring the County to
67,200 square feet.

DATE: November 29, 2010
RE: Two-Month Trial Board Meeting Schedule
This item is in follow up to discussion at the November 26~' informal meeting regarding a potential
change in the Board's meeting schedule. Currently, the Board holds four regular meetings per
month and one informal meeting per month. Regular night meetings are held the first and third
Tuesdays and regular morning meetings are held the third and fourth Tuesdays. Informal meetings
are held the afternoons of the fourth Tuesday.
The Chairman is proposing the Board change its meeting schedule from five meetings per month to
three meetings per month. Two regular and one informal Board meetings would be held. The first
Tuesday would be the night meeting, as it is now. The second Tuesday would be the informal
meeting, held in the morning rather than afternoon. And the third Tuesday would be the regular
morning meeting. The fourth Tuesday would be reserved as a stand-by Board day should an
additional meeting be warranted.
Chairman Craft asked the Board to consider a change to its meeting schedule on the following
basis:
1. Operational Productivity-Cost Savings. The most apparent cost savings would be in staff
time and productivity. Consolidation of the two morning meetings would require the cadre of
staff to attend one meeting. Staff would be freed up to devote the time, not spent at the
second morning Board meeting, to department operations. Another benefit in staff time
relates to agenda review meetings. Four such meetings are held each month for
preparation of the regular Board meetings. Agenda review meetings would be cut back to
finro meetings which, again, would free up staff time to focus on department operations.
As the Board knows, it is now an even bigger challenge for staff to maintain County
operations. Our organization lost an unprecedented number of management and
professional level positions as part of the restructuring that occurred in FY10. Managing
core programs and services with even fewer staff increases the burden on remaining staff.
