Background:
In this Joint Participaton Agreement, The Florida Department of Transportation will provide funds in
the amount of $192,555 to enhance traffic signals at the six locations listed below:
Angle Road @ Kings Highway

dedicated for this grant. There is no match required by the County.
See Attachements Al - A3.

Background:
Lawrence-Lynch Corporation was the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. This project's funding
included $201,000 in the form of a Local Agency Program (LAP) agreement through the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT).
The project extended the sidewalk that previously terminated just north of Rivers Edge Elementary. The
sidewalk now extends approximately 1.3 mites southward to the entrance at the Oxbow Eco-Center.
The project included improvements to a designated pedestrian crossing at St. James Drive. This allows
River's Edge Elementary, Southern Oaks Middle School and the local neighborhoods safe pedestrian
access to the Oxbow Eco-Center.
This project has been completed in conformance with the plans and specifications. Please see the
certifying letter from our construction management firm, Milestone Construction Group, LLC (Attachment
A). Approximately 78% of our contingency (or $17,807.33 of $22,936.73) was used to complete this
project. .
While this project was completed in December 2011, the contractor did not provide all of the paperwork
necessary to close this project out until April of this year. Our certification package was sent to FDOT in
the second ha4f of May. Only recently did FDOT acknowledge our package as complete.

DATE: July 3, 2012
SUBJECT: Hardest Hit Fund (HHF) Revised Contract
ITEM NO. VI-D1
Background of Grant Program:
In January 2010, the US Treasury created the Housing Finance Agency (HFA) Innovation Fund for
the Hardest-Hit Markets- and allocated funds under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of
2008. Since the original allocation, there have been four additional allocations for a total funding of
over $1 billion for the State of Florida. -
Florida Housing Finance Corporation proposed two strategies:
• Unemployment .Mortgage Assistance Program (UMAP) can be used to pay monthly
mortgage payments until the homeowner can resume payments or for up to 12 months,
whichever occurs first.
• Mortgage. Loan. Reinstatement Program. (MLRP) will be used to help bring a delinquent
mortgage current fora homeowner who has returned to work or recovered from
underemployment and can now resume the monthly mortgage payment(s).
Both strategies are designed to help unemployed or underemployed homeowners by extending the
time period for homeowners to become. re-employed or qualify for a mortgage modification that will.
lower their payments.
Summary of Contract Changes:
St. Lucie County is the' HHF Advisor Agency. As such, Section 2 has been revised to require
additional documentation be submitted to Florida Housing Finance Corporation for St. Lucie County
employees who will be providing services under this program. Section 6 readjusts the methodology
of the compensation package to be paid to St. Lucie County, but is not anticipated to change the
monthly receivables.
Recommendation
.Board acceptance.. of the HHF Advisor Services revised contract with Florida Housing Finance
Corporation; and authorization for the Chairman to sign documents as approved by the` County
Attorney.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Beth Ryder, Director~~
DATE: July 3, 2012
SUBJECT: Procedures for Flag display- Memorial Day
ITEM NO. VI-D3
Background:
Several months ago, the County received one complaint from a citizen about the County
practice of lowering all 17 County flags on the Friday before Memorial Day to half-staff and
then raising them to full staff on Tuesday morning, since Monday is a County holiday.
In researching this issue, staff found that The United States Code, Title 4, states on
Memorial Day, the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon, and then raised to the
top of the staff. The word "should" is used rather than shall, indicating it is a
recommendation rather than a mandate.
Staff surveyed the nearby. counties as to their practice. Palm Beach and Martin Counties
are following St. Lucie County's practice. Indian River and Okeechobee Counties have staff
lower the flag on Friday and raise it after noon on the Memorial Day holiday.
As there does not seem to be a uniform .regional practice, a recommendation from the
Veterans Advisory Council .regarding. St. Lucie County's current method was requested.
The Council voted unanimously in support of the current County. practice. A copy of the
letter sent to Ms. Outlaw with=this recommendation is attached.
Recommendation: ...
.Board approval of Resolution No. 12-131 establishing the procedures for displaying the flag
on Memorial Day, and authorizing the Chairman to sign documents as approved by the

ITEM NO. V1-G1
Background:
On March 21, 2012, submittals to Bid No. 12-004, Vertical Turbine Variable Pump Station, were
opened. Two submittals were received; 396 companies were notified and 40 documents were
distributed.
The lowest responsive, responsible bid for purchase and installation of the pump station was
$114,900. The bids were rejected by the Board because they exceeded the budget of $100,000. Staff
was confident the pump station could be purchased and installed for the budget amount by dividing
the project into two parts: 1) direct purchase of the pump station which represents the bulk of the cost
and 2) installation of the pump station.
On May 16, 2012 Bid No. 12-030, Furnish ,and Deliver Variable Pump Station, was opened. One
submittal was received, 212 companies were notified and 24 documents were distributed. Staff
recommends awarding to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Ftowtronex, Dallas, Texas, in the
amount of $64,607. Staff has already received a quote of $10,000 for installation.
Recommendation:
Board approval to award Bid: No. 12-030, Vertical Turbine Variable Speed Pump Station, to the lowest
responsive and responsible bidder, Flowtronex, of Dallas, Texas, for the .amount of $64,607 and
authorization for the chairman to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney.

DATE: July 3, 2012
SUBJECT: Project Cube -Letter of Intent
ITEM NO. VI-H
Background:
Project Cube has requested economic development incentives in consideration of its interest in relocating to St. Lucie
County. Project Cube is an existing PC-based controller systems manufacturing company which is designated as an
eligible industry on the County's Qualified Target Industries (QTI) list. The company is currently in discussion with the
Economic Development Council of St. Lucie County, Inc. on the availability of economic development business
incentives.
The intent of Project Cube is to hire 10 employees at an average annual salary of $40,498 ($19.47/hour). The
company anticipates an investment of $1.5 million in building and equipment.
In consideration of the 10 employees to be hired and its $1.5 million capital investment, Project Cube is eligible for an
ad valorem tax exemption phased over five years. It should be noted that the current 10-year ad valorem tax
exemption program is valid through November of this year. The adoption of any ad valorem tax exemption ordinance
beyond November will require voter referendum approval on the November 2012 general election ballot. Based upon
the number of employees to be hired and the average salary, the company is also eligible for a Job Growth
Investment Grant in the amount of $18,000 payable over two years.
Staff is recommending that Project Cube receive an ad valorem tax exemption and a Job Growth Investment Grant
with the creation of 10 new jobs. The Job Growth Investment Grant payments will be absorbed into the current JGIG
funding account. This will not require an increase to the upcoming budget.
Recommendation
Board authorization to have the County Administrator send a Letter of Intent to offer Project Cube an Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption phased over five years and a Job Growth Investment Grant (JGIG) in the amount of $18,000 phased over
two years ($9,000 per year).

ITEM NO. VII-B
On May 17, 2012, the applicant submitted a request to extend the Village of Sunset Lakes Preliminary
Planned Village (PTV) Site Plan expiration date from June 15, 2012 to June 15, 2013. The applicant's
request for a site plan extension states that the delay in development of the project "is necessary to
properly satisfy the unique and untested specificity of the requirements of the TVC regulations, as
expressed through the 23 conditions of approval."
BACKGROUND:
Village of Sunset Lakes is amixed-use subdivision approved for of 700 dwelling units and 2,000 square
feet of retail development. Approval of the original Preliminary PTV Site Plan application was granted
on June 15, 2010, through Resolution No. 10-028, subject to 23 conditions of approval. The deadlines
for the majority of the conditions of approval, except Condition No. 18 are prior to final site plan
approval. For consistency, Condition No. 18 currently is proposed to be amended as follows:
Within 90 days of final site plan approval or prior to issuance of a Vegetation Removal
Permit or Exemption, whichever comes first, the applicant shall provide the required
executed SLC (or SFWMD) conservation easement and the Environmental Resources
Department approved Countryside Management Plan with an attached affidavit, and a
cashier's check, payable to the Clerk of the Court for the appropriate recording fees, to
the County Attorney for review and approval. A copy of the standard conservation
easement document can be obtained by visiting the St. Lucie County Environmental
Resources Department website at: http://www.stlucieco.orglEnvironmental Resources
Department/index.htm
It is common practice for staff to investigate the financial and legal status of any property for which an
extension is requested. Staff has verified that the lands are not in foreclosure in state court; however,
research shows that the property owner, Sunset Lakes of St. Lucie, LLC, has been sued by Regions
Bank in Federal Court. Sunset Lakes of St. Lucie, LLC defaulted on the mortgage for the subject

SUBJECT: Rezoning Request - St. Lucie County Utilities
ITEM NO. VII-C
St. Lucie County Utilities submitted an application fora change in zoning from the AR-1
(Agricultural, Residential-1 du/acre) to U (Utilities) for 38 acres of land on the east side of Taylor
Dairy Road, approximately'/a mile south of Indrio Road. This rezoning would allow the St. Lucie
County Utilities to develop the site for future North County Regional Water and Wastewater
Treatment Plants.
Background:
The subject property under consideration is located within the Airport Mixed Use Activity Area
identified in the Comprehensive Plan. The requested zoning district of Utilities is consistent and
compatible with the 1800 acres of land located in close proximity to the southeast already zoned
Utilities.
The Utilities Department acquired the subject property in 2005 with the intent of complying with
overriding Goals of the Comprehensive Plan. Development of a water treatment plant and a
wastewater treatment plant in this area implements Objective 1.1.5 of the Comprehensive Plan
which directs future development to occur within the Urban Service Area where urban and
community services can be provided in the most efficient and compact manner so as to discourage
the proliferation of urban sprawl. Further, it provides the opportunity to discourage development
dependent upon wells and septic tanks. Objective 4.A.1.1 in the Potable Water Sub-Element
together with Objective 4.D.1.1 in the Sanitary Sewer Sub-Element stipulates the provision of
critical basic services to the residents of St. Lucie County that do not promote urban sprawl.
St. Lucie County Utilities submitted an application on September 15, 2009 for an amendment to
the Official Zoning Atlas to change the zoning on the property. On December 3, 2009, the
Development Review Committee certified the application with a recommendation of approval to

**********************«**~*******************************s******«*****************
BACKGROUND:
On October 24, 2006, former County Administrator Doug Anderson wrote a letter to
Michael Koven of Allied New Technologies ("Allied") outlining proposed economic development
incentives if Allied determined to enhance and expand Allied's existing facilities in St. Lucie County.
A copy of the October 24, 2006 letter is attached to this memorandum. One of the proposed
economicdevelopmentincentiveswasaneconomicdevelopmentadvaloremtaxexemption. Based
on the proposed economic development incentives, Allied expanded its facilities in St. Lucie County.
The expansion cost approximately $48 million dollars and resulted in the creation of 62 jobs.
Pursuant to state law, Allied filed an application for an economic ad valorem tax exemption.
The application was referred to the St. Lucie County Property Appraiser for review. Attached to this
memorandumisacopyofthePropertyAppraiser'sreport. The Property Appraiser determined that
Allied meets the definition of an expansion of an existing business as defined in Section 196.012,
Florida Statutes. The Property Appraiser's estimate of the taxable value lost to the County if the

SUBJECT: Huneke Shoreline Variance Request
ITEM NO. Vll-E
The. purpose of this memorandum is to provide background information, findings and standards of
review to accompany a request for Board approval of Resolution 12-113, granting a shoreline
variance from the Land Development Code (LDC) St. Lucie River Shoreline Development Regulations
(Section 6.02.02(B)(2)(a)). The LDC states; "No development activity or shoreline alteration is
permitted along the St Lucie River unless a variance is granted by the Board of County
Commissioners" (Section 10.01.30).
Background
The Huneke property is located at 1400 Parkland Boulevard and consists of 0.83-acres with a single
family residence along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. The residence was constructed in 1952
and is surrounded by a man-made basin to the north and east, and the St. Lucie River to the west.
The applicant proposes to construct a seawall, with rip rap at the toe, along 76 .linear feet of shoreline
which would tie into existing seawalls on either side of the property. The shoreline is severely eroded
with the loss of approximately .five (5) feet of land that has sloughed into the river. The cause of the
erosion appears to be .reflective wave energy from adjacent seawalls.
Findings
The variance request is from Section 6.02.02.B of the LDC which requires setbacks from the shoreline
of the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. Specifically, .the LDC states "No development activity or
shoreline alteration, including alteration of native vegetation and habitat, shall be permitted within 50
feet of the mean high water line on lots platted prior to August 1, 1989"..Comprehensive Plan Policy
also requires a minimum . 50-foot native upland buffer within the setback (Comprehensive Plan
Policies 5.1.1.8. and 5:1.2.3). Since natural shoreline restoration would not likely be successful in
such ahigh-energy environment and no other reasonable alternative exists, the LDC allows for the
installation of an erosion control barrier to prevent further attrition and water quality impacts with an
approved variance from the BOCC.
In addition to the variance request to ,alter .the shoreline, the applicant is also requesting approval of
an alternative for the required 50-foot native buffer. The applicant claims that a 50-foot buffer is not
