RESOLUTION NO. 11-092
A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE MONTH OF MAY 2011
AS "CIVILITY MONTH" IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has
made the following determinations:
1. The open exchange of public discourse is essential to the democratic system of
government.
2. As a cornerstone of democracy, Americans have observed certain rules of behavior
generally known as civility. Civility, derived from the Latin Words "civitas" meaning city
and "civis" meaning citizen, is behavior worthy of citizens living in a community or in
common with others.
3. Displays of anger, rudeness, ridicule, impatience, and a lack of respect and
personal attacks detract from the open exchange of ideas, prevent .fair discussion of the
issues, and can discourage individuals from participation in government.
4. Civility can assist in reaching consensus on diverse issues and allow for mutually
respectful. ongoing relationships.
5. Civility can uplift our daily life and make it more pleasant to live in an organized
society.
6. The City, County and Local Government Law Section of The Florida Bar urges the
adoption of a pledge of civility by all citizens in the State of Florida.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St.
Lucie County, Florida, that the month of May 2011 is proclaimed as "CIV1LlTY MONTH"
and calls upon all citizens to exercise civility toward each other.
PASSED AND DULY ADOPTED this 7th day of June 2011.

C.A. No: CA11-545
DATE: June 7, 2011
SUBJECT: Second Amendment and Assignment of Subdivision Improvement Agreement with
Pulte Homes for Palm Breezes Phase 2
ITEM NO. VI-B-5
Background:
On June 19, 2007, St. Lucie County and Centex Homes entered into an agreement, hereinafter
referred to as the "Agreement" for the satisfactory completion of required infrastructure improvements
for Palm Breezes Phase 2. The Agreement required the satisfactory completion of the required
improvements within twenty-four (24) months from the recording of the plat for the subdivision. The
plat for the subdivision was recorded on July 24, 2007, requiring completion of the improvements on
or before July 24, 2009. On June 10, 2008, the parties agreed to extend the term of the agreement
for twenty-four (24) months, requiring completion of improvements on or before July 24, 2011. On
April 7, 2009, Pulte Homes Corporation acquired Centex Corporation. Pulte Homes Corporation now
desires to accept assignment of the Subdivision Improvement Agreement as amended. On May 28,
2010, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, signed into law, Chapter 2010-147, Laws of Florida, more
commonly known as the "Jobs for Florida" Bill. The Bill provides that any local government issued
development order or permit that has an expiration date of September 1, 2008 through January 1,
2012, is extended and renewed for a period of two (2) years following its date of expiration provided
that said development order or permit has not been determined to be in significant non-compliance
with its conditions. The Developer timely filed its Notification for the two (2) year extension in
accordance with the provisions of the Bill and staff has conducted the review and has not found the
development order or permit to be in significant non-compliance.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Second Amendment and Assignment of Subdivision Improvement
Agreement with Pulte Homes for Palm Breezes Phase 2.

is a Budget Resolution assigning additional funds in the amount of $12,665 with a local match of $12,665
to the Taxiways A and B Rehabilitation project.
Funding for this rehabilitation project was originally approved by the Board in 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 its grant-match portion in October
2009 in anticipation of receiving an FAA grant. However, in February 2010, the FAA advised that funding
for this project would not be available until FY 2011.
In preparing the FY 2011 FAA grant submission, several grading and stormwater drainage issues were
identified that exceeded FAA design tolerances and presented safety and compliance impacts to the
Airport. As a result, a revised grant pre-application was submitted to the FAA for an updated estimated
project amount of $3,356,600 in December 2010. The estimate increased the FAA Grant share to
$3,188,770, FDOT grant share to $83,915, and local match share to $83,915. FDOT has committed an
additional $12,665 for their match portion for the project. The Airport has funds available to cover the local
match increase in the approved FY2011 budget.
Recommendation
Board approval of Resolution No. 11-094 accepting an FDOT SJPA in the amount of $12,665 and Board
approval of Budget Resolution No. 11-095 assigning the additional funds to the Taxiways A and B
Rehabilitation project, and authorization for the Chairman to sign the documents as approved by the
County Attorney.

has requested economic development incentives to
Growth Investment Grant (JGIG). Please see the
Professional Golf Car is an existing golf car manufacturing and sales and service company that relocated its
corporate headquarters, main showroom, maintenance, and storage facility to Nexus Park along SR70 in
Fort Pierce in early 2011. This type of activity is included in St. Lucie County's targeted industry list under
Administrative and Support Services.
The hourly wage of $17.42 for the projected 40 employees is above the County's average hourly wage of

year).
An ad valorem tax exemption economic development incentive was included as part of the original letter of
intent approved by the Board. However, due to the startup of this .business after January 1, 2011, the
Property Appraiser's Office was not able to calculate an assessed or taxable valuation for the capital
improvements made by the company for the upcoming tax year. As such, a tax exemption ordinance will
come to the Board for review and consideration in early 2012.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners ,A~
THROUGH: Donald West, Public Works Director u"~
FROM: Michael Powley, County Engineer M~
DATE: June 7, 2011
SUBJECT: Indian River Estates stormwater Improvements -Phase II
ITEM NO. VI-G2
Background:
The Indian River Estates (IRE) Phase II project continues the goals of the Phase I pump station
built on the corner of Midway Road and Sunset Drive. Phase II replumbs the majority of the IRE
neighborhood so that gravity drains the neighborhood to the north. The flows towards the pump
station will be both over land in road side swales and in underground stormwater pipes within the
rights-of way of the local neighborhood roads.
As this project develops and the design becomes more detailed, it is clear that we cannot afford all
of the improvements we desire. In order to keep the project feasible within its current grant funding
level, compromise is necessary. Where before we intended to implement full County-standard
design features including paved shoulders and sidewalks on the internal roadways that are
impacted, it is clear that we simply cannot afford to achieve this. As these are local roads, the
discretion is ours. Where compromise occurs, however, it will not be at the expense of potential
drainage improvements.
It is our intention to identify all improvements not directly related to removing stormwater from the
IRE neighborhood as alternatives in our bidding. This will allow us to proceed with stormwater
improvements and to include other improvements as the budget allows.
This change will require modifications of the plan set. This is one of the goals of the attached
amendment (Attachment A). It bears mentioning that the plan set is in excess of 800 pages thus
far; the largest plan set yet created by Engineering Division and almost twice the size of its
nearest rival
Lastly, as we develop a very detailed analysis of the stormwater performance of the
neighborhood, multiple computer model analyses to help fine tune our design become achievable.
The information generated will assist in determining optimal locations of trunk mains, pipe sizes
and runs, and desirable settings for the multiple pumps in the pump station. These analyses will
also provide time estimates for the neighborhood to recover from the various standardized storm
events. While this information is critically important for our use, we anticipate that our grant
partners will eventually ask for these demonstrations as well. This is the second goal of the
amendment.

C.A. N0. 11-467
DATE: May 4, 2011
SUBJECT: 2011 Economic Development Exemption Application - J. J. Taylor Distributing
Florida, Inc.; Ordinance No. 11-019
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 economic ad valorem tax exemption.
Also attached isResolution No. 03-258 adopted on October 28, 2003 establishing a propertytax exemption
phase out schedule and a property tax exemption eligibility rate schedule for new or expanding businesses
Attached is an application filed by J. J. 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 of the Property Appraiser are contained in the application. As the memorandum states, J. J. 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%
Year 5 - 20%

C.A. No: CA11-412
DATE: June 7, 2011
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 11-017-Pain Management Clinics
ITEM NO. VII-C
Background:
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

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
ST. I.UCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Heather Young, Assistant County Attorney
C.A. NO: 11-0564
DATE: June 1, 2011
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 11-010 - Creating Chapter 1-15.5 (Pawnbrokers and
Secondhand Dealers) to Establish New Record Keeping and Holding Period
Requirements for Secondhand Dealers
BACKGROUND:
Pawnbrokers are currently regulated pursuant to the Florida Pawnbroking Act
codified as Chapter 529, Florida Statutes, which establishes certain recordkeeping and
holding requirements for pawnbroker transactions. Although counties may adopt
ordinances regarding pawnbrokers, Section 539.001(20) prohibits a county from adopting
an ordinance which is more restrictive or in conflict .with the provisions of Chapter 539.
Among the requirements of Chapter 539 is a thirty (30) day holding period for articles
obtained through a pawn transaction and electronic reporting requirements for such
transactions. Although secondhand dealers are also regulated by the State under Chapter
538, Florida Statutes, they are only required to hold articles for fifteen (15) days and do
not have the same reporting requirements. Section 538.17, Florida Statutes, expressly
provides, however, that a local government may enact more stringent requirements for
secondhand dealers. Accordingly, the Sheriff has requested that the County amend the
Code of Ordinances to establish more stringent record keeping and holding period
requirements for secondhand dealers to mirror those in place for pawnbrokers.
Proposed Ordinance No. 11-010 has been drafted to address the Sheriff's request.
If adopted, the ordinance would revoke the County's existing ordinance governing
pawnbrokers and secondhand dealers and create a new Chapter 1-15.5 to specifically
regulate such businesses. All pawnbrokers and secondhand dealers would still be subject to
annual business tax. As requested by the Sheriff, the holding period for secondhand
goods would be extended from fifteen (15) to thirty (30) days. In addition, the ordinance
authorizes the Sheriff to designate an electronic reporting system for transactions by
both pawnbrokers and secondhand dealers. The transaction information which a
pawnbroker must provide is already addressed in Section 539.011(8). A secondhand dealer
would now be required to provide the same information when reporting a transaction to the
Sheriff.
