VI-B.5 Background: One of the funding methods available for the capital improvements and essential services listed below is through non -ad valorem special assessments levied on specially-benefitted properties within the proposed special assessment districts and collected using the uniform method pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. In order to preserve this collection option, it is necessary for the Board to adopt resolutions expressing its intent to use the uniform method commencing in November, 2013. The resolutions must be considered at a duly advertised public hearing held prior to January 1, 2013. The resolutions, which will be provided before the public hearing, do not in any way obligate the County to levy the special assessments; rather, it simply preserves the County's option to use the uniform method of collection if a special assessment is levied. The Board is considering the creation of the following special assessment districts: 1. Canoe Creek MSBU - proposed - potable water/fire protection 2. Kings/Indrio MSBU - proposed - roadway widening 3. Iroquois MSBU — proposed - potable water/fire protection 4. Lakewood Park 2 MSBU - proposed - potable water/fire protection 5.

VI-Cl This is a staff recommendation for Board approval of Resolution No. 12-151 changing the health plan options and authorizing adjustment of monthly health premiums using $2,660,000 of Insurance Fund reserves to discount monthly premiums and changing employee contributions for all BOCC, Constitutional Offices and Agencies employees participating in the Board of County Commissioners Health Plan. On July 10, 2012 the Insurance Advisory Committee met and reviewed various health benefit options that were presented by Bob Davis (Tax Collector) and the County Risk & Benefits Manager. The Committee includes the Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners or designee, representatives from the Medical Examiner and Children Services Council. The Finance Department provided the Committee with a Health Insurance Fund Statement of Net Assets (Attachment B). After confirming the availability of surplus funds in the Health Fund, the Committee submitted their recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners in their July 11, 2012 Memorandum (Attachment A). Eliminate plan 3562 and replace it with plan 3566. Currently there are only 12 members in plan 3562. The purpose for this change is to attract more participants to the 'lower benefit' plan which will lower the overall cost to the Committee members. It is believed that many plan members will choose a plan with fewer benefits in exchange for a lower premium. Plan-3566 will be priced noticeably less than high benefit Plan-3766 providing employees with a clear choice of benefit plans that are priced appropriately. Attachment D is a side -by -side comparison of the benefits for new "Low Benefit" Plan-3566 and the current "High -Benefit" Plan-3766 which the Insurance Committee recommended as the St. Lucie County BOCC Health Benefit Plan starting January 1, 2013. The Insurance Committee recommended use of $2,660,000 in Health Fund reserves to discount the full health insurance premiums. There is approximately $21 million in the Health Insurance Fund reserves which includes $4,000,000 in mandatory health fund reserves and other dedicated insurance funds. There are sufficient additional excess reserves to accommodate this use. Staff recommended to the Insurance Committee that there be a change to the Employee contributions from an arbitrary FIXED amount to a percentage based contribution where -in employee contributions for Plan-3566 would be 4% and 7% for Plan-3766. The Insurance Committee recommended further adjustments to those employee contributions so that for CY-2013, no employee would be required to contribute more than they currently pay. The recommended employee contribution levels are shown in Attachment A and in Attachment C. Changing now to a percentage method in conjunction with the other changes will make any future modifications to employee contributions fair and equitable to all participants should such a change be considered.

ITEM NO. VI-C2 Background: On July 10, 2012 the Insurance Advisory Committee met and reviewed the various health benefit costs that makeup the total health plan costs and approved the funding for the health plan. That review included the cost to renew Stop -Loss Insurance coverage. The Committee includes the Property Appraiser (Committee Chairmen), Tax Collector, Supervisor of Elections, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners or designee, representatives from the Medical Examiner and Children Services Council. St. Lucie County is self -insured for employee Health Benefits and purchases a Stop -Loss policy to prevent catastrophic losses to the Health Fund. The expected claims total for the 2012 policy year is $9,692,864.61. The Stop -Loss attachment point is $11,631,438.00 and is based on enrollment of 910 members. After the attachment point is reached the policy reimburses the County for all claims. There is also a per -member Stop -Loss that results in the County being reimbursed for any individual's costs exceeding $125,000 during the plan year. The County's Health Benefits Consultant, Employers Mutual Inc. has obtained competitive quotes from the market place, Attachment A, and has presented the Risk & Benefits Division with a comparative analysis of quotes from five companies. The Symetra quote of $1,146,927.60 is $53,982.80 higher than the lowest bidder, Companion Life. However, the Companion Life quote includes a much higher attachment point of $12,233,785.20 exposing the County to an additional $602,347.20 in claims liability before the Companion Life policy attaches and begins to reimburse the County.

The Committee includes the Property Appraiser (Committee Chairmen), Tax Collector, Supervisor of Elections, the Clerk of the Circuit Court, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners or designee, representatives from the Medical Examiner and Children Services Council.

The amendment changes the agreement to comply with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act but does not change or affect the existing costs for administration of the Health Plan. This amendment was provided to the Insurance Committee for their review and comments. The amendments to the County's agreement with BCBSF are system wide for BCBSF and modifies (clarifies) how billing will be handled when members access care outside the geographic area BCBSF serves and obtain care from healthcare providers that have a contractual agreement (i.e., are "participating providers") with the local Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield Licensee in that geographic area and/or obtains care from non -participating healthcare providers. The amendment describes how payment practices in both instances will be followed. Each state's Blue Cross and Blue Shield is an individual corporation and this amendment incorporates the inter -company agreement between the various Blue Cross and Blue Shield companies. BCBSF is also changing the way some physicians may be paid going forward. BCBSF is implementing provider incentive programs (a surcharge) that rewards providers for medical cost savings and high quality patient centered coordinated care that results in faster, better "Outcomes". BCBSF is also changing to a bundled payment arrangement to primary providers for an entire episode of care as opposed to payment for each separate part of the episode care. This will make the primary provider responsible for payment to downstream providers who render services in support of the episode. AGENDA REQUEST ITEM NO.

West, Public Works Director�To, DATE: September 4, 2012 SUBJECT: Taylor Creek Dredging, Phase 2 ITEM NO. VI — F3 Background: In 1998, the County initiated the Taylor Creek Dredging and Restoration Project, to remove the muck sediments from Taylor Creek. Removal of muck sediments from the tributaries to the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) is a goal of the IRL National Estuary Program. in April of 2004, the County commenced construction of Phase 1 of the Taylor Creek Dredging Project. The Phase 1 Project resulted in the removal and disposal of 94,767 cubic yards of muck sediments from the Taylor Creek navigation channel. A 16-acre spoil disposal site was constructed on Mr. Lloyd Bell's port property for handling the muck sediments. The project was completed in June of 2005, and the spoil site was removed from Mr. Bell's property in April 2007. Phase 2 involves the dredging of Taylor Creek in the upstream reach between the railroad and the C25 spillway structure. This phase will require dredging of an additional 100,000 cubic yards of muck sediments. The County awarded the contract for Spoil Site Construction to Guettler Brothers Construction, Inc. on August 21, 2012. Originally, the County budgeted $1.75 million to match FDOT funding for Taylor Creek Dredging Phase 2. FDOT programmed $1.3 million for the current fiscal year to pair with the funding from the 2010 JPA in the amount of $454,904 to cover the $3.5 million project cost. Utilizing only a portion of the County's budgeted match leaves $450,000 available in the County Port Budget for future project match. Recently, due to the immediate need of addressing the shoaling in the inlet channel FDOT shifted $140,000 of the $1.3 million current fiscal year funding to allow for assistance with the Inlet Channel Emergency Dredging (Item VI-F4 on this Board Agenda) and leaving $1,160,000 for the Taylor Creek Dredging Phase 2. FDOT has assured County staff if the bids for Taylor Creek Dredging Phase 2 come in over the combined JPA total of $3,229,808 (as seen in the table below), they will assist with funding to make up the $3.5 million.

On February 1, 2011, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 11-004 which allowed vehicles left on public right-of-way to be towed after 48 hours and set storage fees for trespass towing. Ordinance No. 07-012 established a flat rate of $350 that a tow truck company may charge for when they are required to use a rotating boom to assist in the nonconsensual tow. A rotating boom is a tow truck that has a rotating boom in the bed of the truck. This is a specialized piece of equipment that would not be brought out for the usual nonconsensual tow. This equipment is effectively used for removal of large/heavy vehicles from accident scenes such as a semi -trailer.

VII-D BACKGROUND: The subject petition is for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a sand and coquina rock mining operation on approximately 1,220 acres. The proposed mining operation is located on the north side of Orange Avenue, between Minute Maid Road and the C-24 Canal and can be authorized in the AG-5 (Agricultural — 1 du/5 acres) Zoning District upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to St. Lucie County Land Development Code (LDC) Section 3.01.03(C)(7)(i), Mining and quarrying of nonmetallic minerals, except fuels. 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 of the Conditional Use Permit is required. The subject property and surrounding lands have been utilized for agricultural purposes over the past few decades. The mine will be accessed from Orange Avenue via a 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 s.f. scale house, and a 27.4-acre stockpile area located near the front of the parcel. The closest single family structure lies approximately 225 feet from the subject property on the west side of Minute Maid Road.

VII-E Background: This item is a companion item to VII-D, the Conditional Use Application for MCZ Centrum Citrus. This public hearing is a continuation of the initial public hearing held February 1, 2011. Since that date the site plan has been redrawn reducing the scale of the proposed operations. Most significant of the changes is the reduction of the lake. Where before 15 cells were proposed, only eight cells are now requested with a proportionally smaller footprint. 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 mining activity has previously been approved. Access to and from the site will be via Orange Avenue to Kings Highway. 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. On February 1, 2011, a Public Hearing was held to discuss the MCZ Mining Permit application. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) Orange Avenue shoulder widening project, both in scope and time frame, the Board granted the applicant a continuance to a date uncertain. Staff has met with the applicant's representatives, as well as FDOT's project managers, on several occasions since the February 2011 Public Hearing. The applicant remains steadfast in his intentions to pursue the mining permit and develop the mine. Likewise, FDOT continues the design of their project to construct shoulders (5-foot paved and 3- foot unpaved) between Graves Road and Kings Highway. This work will require the replacement of four culverts along the route. St. Lucie County is replacing two of them and FDOT has agreed AGENDA REQUEST TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ITEM NO. r DATE: September 4, 2012 REGULAR [] PUBLIC HEARING[XX CONSENT[] PRESENTED BY: SUBMITTED BY(DEPT): County Attorney Daniel S.

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 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 f iled by Tropicana Manuf acturing Company, 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, Tropicana 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 $39,585,830. The estimate of revenue lost to the County if the exemption was granted during the current fiscal year is $340,954,00. According to the Property Appraiser's analysis, Tropicana made a total new investment of $39,585,830.00, including improvements to real property and taxable personal property. The application also reflects that eleven (11) St. Lucie County residents will be employed by Tropicana.

On September 14, 2004, the Board initially levied recurring assessments on residential properties within the County Solid Waste Urban Service Area for the purpose of including solid waste fees on property tax bills. This method of collection is in lieu of the garbage hauler billing property owners directly for garbage and recycling services. The purpose for this action is to provide residential property owners and occupants proper, safe and cost effective disposal of residential waste and recyclable materials generated on such property. On August 7, 2012, the Board adopted Resolution No. 12-105, the Solid Waste Initial Assessment Resolution. This Resolution authorized the Board to impose assessments for solid waste services for the fiscal year commencing October 1, 2012 at a rate of $252.06 per dwelling united, directed the County Administrator to prepare assessment rolls using the uniform method of collection of the 2012 tax bill, and established a public hearing to be held on September 4, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as may be heard. The Property Appraiser has prepared 2 Final Assessment Rolls: (1) Assessment Roll "A" contains residential properties with the County Solid Waste Urban Service Area at the 2012 assessment rate of $252.06 per dwelling unit. (2) Assessment Roll "B" contains residential properties with the County Solid Waste Urban Service Area that were erroneously omitted for the 2011 assessment.

As set out in the memorandum, staff recommended that the Board authorize the County Attorney to file a petition with the Division of Administrative Hearings ("DOAH") challenging the amounts certified by the Agency for Health Care Administration to St. Lucie County as of August 1, 2012. The Board voted 5-0 to support staff recommendations. The County's petition was filed with DOAH on August 31. As of the date of this memorandum, only 4 of the 67 counties (Bay, Broward, St. Johns and St. Lucie) have decided to file a petition challenging the backlog amount. FAC Lawsuit: On April 17, 2012, the Board voted to authorize St. Lucie County to be a named plaintiff in a legal challenge to HB 5301 filed by the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) and 57 counties (including St. Lucie County). This lawsuit alleged, among other things, violations of the Florida Constitution (unfunded mandates) and the applicable statute of limitations (four (4) years instead of the ten (10) year payback requirement imposed by HB 5301.) Since the filing of the lawsuit, the state agency, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) has been working to review the backlogamount, which review has resulted in significant reduction in the overall (statewide) backlog number. Based on the fact that only four (4) counties filed a petition challenging the backlog amount, it appears that most of the counties, as well as FAC, are satisfied with the reductions proposed by AHCA. In addition, FAC staff has been able to negotiate impressive improvements and modifications to the proposed process that are outlined in the attached information sheets that were distributed to all of the County Administrators and County Attorneys in the state on August 29, 2012.

Coastal Engineer , DATE: September 4, 2012 SUBJECT: Florida Beach Erosion Control Program FY-2013/14 Funding Request ITEM NO. II -A Background: The Florida Beach Erosion Control Program (FBECP) is a Long -Range Budget Plan administered through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to assist eligible local governments with their beach erosion control projects. Each application request must include a detailed project description, cost estimate, and supporting resolution from the governing body. Individual projects then receive a priority ranking based upon several criteria. The submittal deadline for consideration of FY-2013/14 State funds is September 18, 2012. More detailed information will accompany the actual funding application to FDEP. The following list is a summary of the proposed beach erosion control funding request: a. beach & inlet monitoring (State: $150,000, County: $150,000); general re-evaluation report coordination (State: $50,000, County: $50,000); 2013/2014 construction (State: $675,000, County: $675,000); construction & permitting assistance (State: $25,000, County: $25,000); and borrow area investigation & permitting (State: $135,000, County: $135,000). b. reimbursement for 2011 beach fill project (State: $674,173, County: $674,173), and 2) Inlet Sand Bypassing: final plans & specs (State: $75,000, County: $25,000), and 3) Southern St. Lucie County Beach Restoration: physical & biological monitoring (State: $250,067, County: $324,933). Compilations of these funding estimates utilize the best available information and are subject to revision due to many influencing factors. For example, there is always a possibility that matching State funds presently under contract for a specific project could be reverted or reallocated to another State project. Should existing funding for a project get eliminated, new funding requests can be used to re-establish State funding for the next year. Recommendation: Board approval to submit the Florida Beach Erosion Control Program FY-2013/14 funding application request along with supporting Resolution No. 12-007.

Background: Public Works - Engineering MEMORANDUM St. Lucie County Erosion District Board Donald B. West, Public Works Director Barbara Guettler, MSBU Project Managerle?o Engineering September 4, 2012 South Hutchinson Island Beach and Dune Restoration SAD III -A Over the past several years the Presidents' Council of South Hutchinson Island (the Presidents' Council) has been working closely with St. Lucie County (the County) in an effort to initiate a one-time restoration project (the Project) to address the deteriorating shoreline that threatens upland structures, property, and habitat from Normandy Beach south to the Martin County line. Based on historical sand loss rates, this project will have a ten-year life expectancy and will run parallel with the development of a federal project to provide for future beach restoration projects. The costs to develop the Project to -date are $3,940,000. Of that amount, 83% has been paid from grants awarded to the County by the State of Florida (the State) and 17% from Erosion District Zone E, a county- wide ad valorem taxing district administered by the St. Lucie County Erosion District, a dependent special district of St. Lucie County most recently codified by Chapter 2004-409, Laws of Florida (the Erosion District). Although the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners acts ex officio as the governing body (the Board) of the Erosion District, the County and the Erosion District are separate and distinct legal entities which are working in conjunction to advance the Project. Development of the Project to -date includes erosion studies, geotechnical investigations, hardbottom mapping, planning and design, permitting, and environmental studies. This information will also be beneficial to any future beach restoration projects in this area. The Project lies within state designated "critically eroded" Atlantic shoreline and includes all beachfront parcels from Normandy Beach to the Martin County line. The Project entails placement of approximately 486,900 cubic yards of beach quality sand with native vegetation planted in the restored dune crest along about 3.4 miles of shore line. The sand source will be off -shore and has met Florida Department of Environmental Protection permitting standards. As a permitting requirement to construct the beach and dune improvements, mitigation reefs will also be constructed. The two locations presently identified for the mitigation reefs are at Ocean Bay and Blind Creek, both County Parks. The reefs are proposed to be located in shallow water adjacent to the parks.

Background: One of the funding methods available for energy conservation and renewable energy is through non -ad valorem special assessments levied on specially-benefitted properties within the proposed special assessment district and collected using the uniform method pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. In order to preserve this collection option, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a resolution expressing its intent to use the uniform method commencing in November 2013. The resolution must be considered at a duly advertised public hearing held prior to January 1, 2013. The resolution, which will be provided before the public hearing, does not in any way obligate the County to levy the special assessment; rather, it simply preserves the County's option to use the uniform method of collection if a special assessment is levied. It is anticipated that in 2013, the Board will consider the creation of the Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Special Assessment District which would be partially funded through the method as described above. Recommendation: Board authorization to advertise a public hearing to consider use of the uniform method of collecting special assessments to be held at the Board's regular day meeting on October 16, 2012, as outlined in this agenda memorandum.
