A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING MAY 21, 2011
THROUGH MAY 27, 2011 AS "NATIONAL SAFE
BOATING WEEK" IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the
following determinations:
1. Water related recreational activities are vital elements in the lives of Florida's
citizens, and the State's 8,426 miles of saltwater tidal coastline, over 3 million acres of inland lakes
and 1,700 miles of rivers and streams provide for many of the needed outlets for recreation and
relaxation.
- - - -
2. Recreational-boating-is fun-and-enjoyable and-F~oridians ar~forturrate-t6-have---------- -
sufficient resources to accommodate the wide variety of pleasure boating demands.
3. Our waterways can become crowded at times and be a place of chaos and
confusion. While being a marvelous source of recreation, boatin~, to the unprQpared, can be a
risky sport.
4. On average, 700 people die each year in boating-related accidents in fihe United
States and nearly 70% of these are fatalities caused by drowning. The vast majority of these
accidents are caused by human error or poor judgment and not by the boat, equipment, or
environmental factors.
5. A significant number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each year would
be alive today had they worn their life jackets. It is a simple task that has the potential to reduce
terrible loss in lives. Modern life jackets are more comfortable, more attractive and more
wearable than styles of y~ars past and deserve a fresh look by today's boating public. .
6. Knowledge and skills are important in reducing human error and improving
judgment. If people are aware of the risk, they are likely to take the precautionary measures to
protect themselves, their friends, and family.
7. We must continue to spread the messages of boating safety not only during
National Boat Safety Boating Week, but also throughout the entire year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie
County, Florida:
1. This Board supports the goals of the North American Safe Boating Campaign and
does hereby proclaim May 21, 2011 through May 27, 2011 as "NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK"
in St. Lucie County, Florida.

A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE MONTH OF MAY
2011 AS "STROKE AWARENESS MONTH" IN ST. LUCIE
COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the following
determinations:
1. Stroke is an emergency and a brain attack, cutting off vital blood flow and oxygen to the
brain.
2. In the United States, stroke is a leading cause of death, killing over 133,000 people each
year, and a leading cause of serious, long-term adult disability.
3. Ischemic stroke occurs when arteries are blocked by blood clots or by the gradual build-up
of plaque and other fatty deposits. About 87 percent of all strokes are Ischemic.
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain breaks, leaking blood into the
brain. Hemorrhagic strokes account forthirYeen percent of all strokes, yet are responsible
for more than thirty percent of all stroke deaths.
4. There are an estimated 7,000,000 stroke survivors in the U.S. over age 20.
5. Approximately 795,000 strokes will occur this year, one occurring every 40 seconds, and
#aking a life approximately every four minutes.
6. Stroke can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of race, sex or age.
7. From 1997 to 2007, the annual stroke death rate fell approximately 34 percent, and the

8. Approximately 55,000 more women than men have a stroke each year.
9. African Americans have almost twice the risk of first-ever stroke compared with whites.
10. Two million brain cells die every minute during stroke, increasing risk of permanent brain
damage, disability or death. Recognizing symptoms and acting FAST to get medical
attention can save a life and limit disabilities.
11. The prevalence of transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA -"mini strokes") increases with age. Up
to 40 percent of all people who suffer a TIA will go on to experience a stroke.
12. The estimated direct and indirect cost of stroke in the United States in 2010 is $73.7 billion.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County,

SUBIECT: 2011 Economic Development Exemption Application - J. l. Taylor Distributing
Florida, Inc.; Ordinance No. 11-019 - Permission to Advertise
BACKGROUND:
On October 6, 1992, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 92-24 establishing a program to exempt
certain new and expanding businesses from ad valorem taxation as allowed by state law, a copy of which
is attached. On November 5, 2002, the voters in St. Lucie County approved a referendum authorizing the
Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County to grant a local ecnnomic ad valorem tax exemption.
Also attached is Resolution No. 03-258 adopted on October 28, 2003 establishing a property tax exemption
phase out schedule and a property tax exemption eligibility rate schedule for new or expanding businesses
Attached is an application filed by J.1. Taylor Distributing Florida, Inc.. As required by state law, the
application was forwarded to the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser for review. The comments and
findings ofthe Property Appraiser are contained in the appfication. As the memorandum states, J.1. Taylor
Distributing Florida, Inc. submitted the required information and met the statutory definition of a new
business. The Property Appraiser's estimate of the taxable value lost to the County if the exemption is
granted is $824,200 for improvements to real property and $269,875 for tangible personal property. The
estimate of revenue lost to the County if the exemption was granted during the current fiscal year is
$6,177.30 in ad valorem revenues and $2,022.69 in tangible personal property revenues.
The application reflects that sixty-eight (68) St. Lucie County residents will be employed by J. J.
Taylor Distributing Florida, Inc.
Under the property tax eligibility chart, it appears that J. J. Taylor Distributing Florida, Inc. would
receive a five (5) year exemption, phased as follows:
Year 1 - 100% (FY 11/12)
Year 2 - 80%
Year 3 - 60%
Year 4 - 40~0

FROM: Todd A. Cox, C.M., Airport Manager
DATE: May 3, 2010
SUBJECT: Bid No. 11-010; Taxiway A& B Rehabilitation Conditional Award
ITEM NO. VI-D1
Backqround:
This agenda request is for Board approval to conditionally award Bid No. 11-010 for the Taxiway A& B
Rehabilitation project at the Airport. The project consists of the milling and overlay of the asphalt taxiways
and corrections to pavement and drainage structures to meet FAA standards. Taxiways A& B were last
paved in 1986.
The funding for this project was originally approved by the Board under the FY 2010 Capital Budget Plan.
The initial project cost estimate was $2,850,000 which included an FAA grant for $2,707,500, a FDOT
grant of $71,250, and a local match of $71,250. FDOT provided their grant-match portion in October 2009
in anticipation of receiving an FAA grant. Under FAA procedures, a grant pre-application was submitted in
January 2010 in preparation for future grant application submission. However, in February 2010, the FAA
advised that their funding for this project would not be available until FY 2011.
In preparation for finalizing the project for FY2011 submission, several grading and stormwater drainage
issues were identified that exceeded FAA design tolerances and presented safety and compliance impacts
to the Airport. Subsequently, discussions were held with the FAA and FDOT. In December 2010, a grant
pre-application was submitted to the FAA for an updated estimated project amount of $3,356,600. The
estimate updated the FAA Grant share to $3,188,770, FDOT grant share to $83,915, and local match
share to $83,915. Due to the project cost increase, FDOT committed an additional $12,665 for their match
portion and will be issuing a separate Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement (SJPA) in the future.
The Airport has funds available to cover its additional local match increase identified under the approved
FY2011 budget.
Per FAA requirements, a grant application for construction must be based on actual bids with the bid tabs
submitted as part of the application package. In preparation for submission of the grant application, the
project was advertised on February 27, 2011. Bids for the project were opened on April 6, 2011. Four
hundred eighteen (418) companies were notified and eleven (11) sets of bid documents were issued.
Three (3) bids were received and are summarized in Attachment A. Two of the three companies that bid
on the project were located within St. Lucie County and PBS&J, the project consultant, determined the
lowest responsive and responsible bidder was Ranger Construction (Attachment A).

DATE: May 3, 2011
SUBJECT: Department of Corrections Inmate Labor Contract
ITEM NO. VI-F
Backpround:
In 2005, 2007 and 2009, the Board entered into contracts with the Florida Department of
Correction (FDOC) to provide an inmate work squad to assist the Parks and Recreation
Department with maintenance. Each contract provides for an additional one (1) year renewal which
the Board subsequently approved. The current contract renewal of the 2009 contract expires on
June 30, 2011 and staff is requesting to enter into a new contract in the amount of $58,004. These
funds are available in the department budget.
This program has proven to play a vital role in the Parks and Recreation Department's ability to
maintain the County's assets providing over 7500 man hours of service. The work squad is utilized
on a rotating schedule by the North and South Park Divisions, Digital Domain, the SLC
Fairgrounds, the Savannas Recreation Area and the Havert L. Fenn Center. In addition to
maintaining restrooms, picking up trash and mowing, the squad also assists in event set ups and
other projects as needed.
Under the current contract and the new contract the County responsibilities are:
• Provide a schedule of work.
• Obtain any licenses or permits, as required, for work to be perFormed by the inmate work
squad.
• Provide transportation (van), including fuel and vehicle maintenance, for the work squad.
• Provide enclosed trailer and other equipment as needed for work to be performed by the
inmate crew.
• Provide communication equipment (cell phone).
• Retain ownership of vehicle and equipment.

SUBJECT: Job Reclassification of Solid Waste Fiscal Specialist
ITEM NO. VI-G
Backaround: ~
The Fiscal Specialist in the Solid Waste Division performs not only accounting functions consistent with
that job description and classification, but she also supervises landfill scale operations and employees.
The Fiscal Specialist is at a pay grade 16 and is non-exempt from wage and hour regulations. Due to
the more extensive supervisory duties of this position, it is necessary for the position to be exempt from
wage and hour regulations. It is therefore recommended the position be reclassified to a Scale
Operations Coordinator at a pay grade 17. No additional job duties are being assigned to the employee.
However, it is recommended the job description and jab classification be changed to better reflecf the
job duties the employee in this position has been performing. The new job description is attached.
Because no additional duties are being assigned to the employee and because the employee's current
salary is within the pay range of pay grade 17, there will be no change in the employee's current salary.
Recommendation
Board approval to reclassify the position of Solid Waste Fiscal Specialist to Scale Operations
Coordinator and approval of the Scale Operations Coordinator job description.

DATE: May 3, 2011
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 11-014 - Surplus Property Ordinance
ITEM NO. VII-A
Backqround:
Section 125.35, Florida Statutes, allows counties to prescribe by ordinance disposition standards and
procedures for surplus real property. The Board adopted such procedures in Ordinance No. 02-18.
Staff recommends modifying the procedures for disposition of property which is unbuildable or valued
at less than $25,000. Unbuildable parcels would be offered for sale only to adjacent property owners
through letters of interest. Parcels valued by the property appraiser at less than $25,000 would first
be offered for sale to adjacent property owners through letters of interest. If no adjacent property
owner expresses interest, then the County may advertise to accept sealed bids.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 11-014.

SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 11-017 Pain Management Clinics
ITEM NO. VII-D
Backqround:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on June 18, 2010, that emergency
department visits involving nonmedical use of certain prescription drugs more than doubled during
2004-2008 in the United States, and findings indicate a substantial increase in deaths related to the
nonprescription use of drugs, despite efforts to control the problem. The report concludes that
"stronger measures to reduce the diversion of prescription drugs to nonmedical purposes are needed
urgently." In the Spring of 2009, the State Attorney's Office for the 17th Judicial Circuit in Broward
County, Florida, issued an interim report on "The Proliferation of Pain Clinics in South Florida" which
established the following facts: (i) in 2008, an average of 13.5 deaths per day in Florida were
attributed to prescription drugs; and (ii) pain clinics are migrating north from Broward County. St.
Lucie County has been made aware by law enforcement and news reports that a pattern of illegal
drug use and distribution has been associated with pain management clinics in neighboring
municipalities, which dispense on-site narcotic drugs. Several counties and municipalities in South
Florida have enacted restrictions on pain management clinics or have enacted moratoriums on new
pain management clinics in their jurisdictions. Such restrictions or temporary bans could result in pain
management clinics migrating to St. Lucie County. In the absence of regulations identifying and
monitoring where narcotic drugs may be dispensed, the County's residents, visitors and businesses
are more vulnerable to criminal actions, despite the provision of law enforcement services The illegal
sale, use, and delivery of controlled substances is a threat to the health, safety and welfare of the
residents of the County. County staff has reviewed the latest Florida legislation and various reports
and regulations related to pain management clinics and recommends that additional standards be
incorporated into the County's Land Development Code to protect the public health, safety and
general welfare.
Staff specifically recommends the following changes to the Land Development Code:
• Define Approved Pain Specialist
• Define Pain Management Clinic
• Define Pharmacy
