DATE: January 21, 2011
SUBJECT: Teamsters Local Union No. 769 - Collective Bargaining Agreement
BACKGROUND:
The County has concluded its Collective BargQining Agreement with Teamsters Local
Union No. 769. If approved, the agreement will take effect retroactively on October 1,

contribution rcites, will remain unchanged with a provision to reopen on insurance in the
event the County determines it is necessary to revise the rate schedule. Although the
number of hours in the work week is not guaranteed, the parties hc?ve agreed to negotiate
the implementation of a furlough program should the County determine such a program is
necessary. Finally, the factors to be considered in determining the order of layoffs will be
limited to seniority sub ject to review of any suspensions within the previous twelve
months.
On January 24, 2011, the union will hold a meeting of the bargaining unit to vote on
ratification of the proposed agreement. The union's negotiating team will recommend
approval by the members.
Due to the length of the agreement, it has been scanned and provided to the Board

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING A LETTER FROM THE
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO THE COUNTY'S STATE
LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION ON BEHALF OF THOUSANDS OF
INDIVIDUALS RESIDING IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY THAT RECEIVE
MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE SERVICES FROM NEW
HORIZONS OFTHETREASURE COASTAND OTHERAREA PROVIDERS
WHEREAS, thousands of individuals residing in St. Lucie County receive mental health and
substance abuse services from New Horizons of the Treasure Coast and other area providers; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature is raising serious questions regarding whether or not the
state can simply rely on the Medicaid program for its mental health and substance abuse care, and
eliminate all or most of the mental health and substance abuse services administered through the
Department of Children and Families; and
WHEREAS, Medicaid does not cover many mental health and substance abuse individuals
because they do not meet the restrictive federal disability criteria ortheir income levels are slightly
above the poverty income threshold that qualifies them for Medicaid; and
WHEREAS, Florida would lose all federal mental health and substance abuse block grant
funding for failing to maintain a state treatment system; and
WHEREAS, if the Legislature is successful with their proposals, St. Lucie County will see a
marked increase in emergency room and hospital admissions, forensic commitments, county jail
admissions, prison incarcerations, and homelessness would undoubtedly increase; and
WHEREAS, the Courts and law enforcement would lose their safety net of emergency crisis
services they have depended on for decades; and
WHEREAS, Florida ranks 49th in mental health funding and 35th in substance funding. It is
an undisputed fact that investing in mental health and substance abuse services saves tax payer
dollars by keeping individuals out of costly hospital stay, jails, and the other services mentioned
above.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie
County, Florida:
Section 1: The foregoing recitals contained in the preamble to this Resolution are

ITEM NO. VI-E
Backqround:
On January 24, 2001, the Board of County Commissioners approved an agreement with the
Smithsonian Institution to allow the Smithsonian's "Exploring Marine Ecosystems Exhibit" to be
displayed in St. Lucie County. The exhibit, a model of a living Caribbean coral reef ecosystem, was
developed by Smithsonian scientists through years of research and field work and displayed at the
Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. for approximately twenty (ZO)
years.
As a new agreement with the Smithsonian Institution is still in review, and the original agreement
expired on January 24t", staff is requesting Board approval of a ninety (90) day extension, effective
January 24, 2011 of the existing agreement C01-01-236 to allow additional time for contract review.
Recommendation:
Board approval of Amendment No. Seven (7) to Contract No. C01-01-236 with the Smithsonian
Institution extending the contract for ninety (90) days and authorization for the Chairman to execute
documents prepared by the County Attorney's office as outlined in this agenda memorandum.

SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit 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 concerns regarding the use, safety
and maintenance of Orange Avenue.

SUBJECT: MCZ/Centrum Citrus Farms Mine
ITEM NO. VII-B
Backqround:
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 provide to St. Lucie County, at no cost, sufficient soil and rock to completely
reconstruct Orange Avenue to their property with 13-foot travel lanes and five-foot paved
shoulders. They offer to bond the value of these materials and to postpone the development of
the mine, short of that necessary to produce to aforementioned roadway reconstruction materials,
until Orange Avenue, from the Kings Highway intersection to their property, is completely
reconstructed.
Under this scenario, the mine will be developed in two phases. Phase 1 will represent the limited
development to provide the road building materials only to St. Lucie County. Phase 2, the formal

COUNTY ATTORNEYS OFFICE
ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Katherine Barbieri, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 11-015
DATE: February 1, 2011
SUBJECT: Ordinance 11-004 - Amending Article II (Stopping, Standing and Parking) of
Chapter 1-20 (Traffic) of the Code of Ordinances - Permission to Advertise
The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office (the "SLCSO") contacted the County with concerns
about vehicles that were left on public roadways in the unincorporated areas of the County. The
SLCSO requested a change to Section 1-20-16 of the St. Lucie County Code & Compiled Laws to
clarify the ability to have any motor vehicle towed from public road right-of-ways under the
jurisdiction of the County after notice.
In 2007, St. Lucie County adopted Ordinance No. 07-012, which set towing fees within St.
Lucie County. The fee schedule did not include set fees for trespass towing impound fees. The
SLCSO requested the fees to be added to the ordinance at the same rate as nonconsential towing
impound fees.
Attached to this memorandum is a copy of draft Ordinance No. 11-004 which, if adopted,
would amend Chapter 1-20 (Traffic) of the Code of Ordinances of St. Lucie County, Florida, by
allowing vehicles left on the public right-of-way of any public road in the unincorporated areas of
the County for forty-eight (48) hours to be towed and by adding storage fees for trespass towing
of vehicles.
The Board of County Commissioners approved permission to advertise on January 4, 2011.
Staff recommends that the Board adopt Ordinance No.11-004 and authorizethe Chairman
to sign the Ordinance.

; MEMORANDUM
TO: St. Lucie County Erosion District Board
THROUGH: Jim David, Mosquito Control & Coastal Management Services Director
FROM: Richard A. Bouchard, P.E., Coastal Engineer
DATE: February 1, 2011
SUBJECT: Fort Pierce Beach - Emergency Fill Project
ITEM NO. II-A
Backqround:
The River and Harbor Act of 1965 authorized the original federal approval for the Fort Pierce Shore Protection
project in 1965. Congress (WRDA, 1996) reauthorized the project life to the year 2020 subsequent to its expiration
in 1985. Since 1999, the successful partnership between the County, State and Corps has resulted in the
nourishment of approximately 2.9 million cubic yards of sand along the 1.3-mile stretch of Ft. Pierce beach. A vast
majority of this sand has since migrated along the shoreline, naturally nourishing the southern beaches. The most
recent renourishment in 2009 only placed about 190,000 cubic yards of sand along the northern 1,500-foot segment.
The beach scarp, now located around the high water line, has retreated into the dune vegetation over the northern
3,000-foot of shoreline. Future storm events will most likely threaten upland property, structures and infrastructure.
Due to a lack of appropriations, no Federal project will be undertaken this spring. With the prospect of not knowing
whether or when Federal funding will become available, there is still uncertainty when the next large scale
nourishment would oecur. Given the highly eroded state of the northern segment, we feel it is in the best interest of
the County to move forward quickly with placing a small volume of upland sand in the northern segment prior to the
2011 sea turtle nesting season. Based upon the County's existing sand contracts, a 40,000 to 50,000 cubic yard
truck haul project would cost approximately $1 million. In order to accomplish this project prior to sea turtle nesting
several other tasks must accomplished and are identified in the attached proposal from Taylor Engineering.
Staff is seeking authorization from the Board to enter into a work authorization with Taylor Engineering for the
attached scope of services with Taylor Engineering for $157,395.00 and authorization for the Chairman to sign
documents as approved by the County Attorney. The County has requested the State (FDEP) to cost share this
effort through an existing grant agreement (06SL1) for Ft. Pierce beach as outlined in the attached letter. Funds
from the Erosion District reserves are available should grant funding not be approved by FDEP. It is staff's intention
to bring forth a contract for the actual beach fill project under a future Board item.
Previous Action:
June 13, 2006 - Approval of FDEP Project Agreement 06SL1 for the Ft. Pierce Beach project
Recommendation:
Board authorization to enter into a work authorization with Taylor Engineering per the attached scope of work and for
the Chairman to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney.
