SUBJECT: Permission to File Suit against the following four (4) parcels located in St.

Eustache - Permit #0715619 - 672 SW McCoy Avenue, Port St. Lucie

Adjei - Permit #0806812 -1590 SW Mullinax Avenue, Port St. Lucie
Nandkumar - Permit #0716879 -1721 SW Starman Avenue, Port St. Lucie
BACKGROUND:
St. Lucie County has adopted ordinances establishing impact fees so as to assure that new
development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital expenditures necessary to provide public
buildings, roads and parks in St. Lucie County. On September 6, 2005, the Board of County Commissioners
approved Ordinance No.05-030 which provided for an alternative method for collection of impact fees for
public buildings, roads and parks.
The alternative collection mechanism provided for the County to serve an Impact Fee Statement
notice upon the Fee Payer, If the impact fees were not paid and became delinquent, the County served a
Notice of Lien upon the Fee Payer and the Owner. The Notice of Lien advised that upon failure to pay the
impact fees, the County would record a Claim of Lien with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Once recorded,
the Claim of Lien constituted a lien against the property.
On February 24, 2009, the Board of County Commissioners granted permission for the County
Attorney to file suit to foreclose said lien(s). The County Attorney's Office began the suit procedure by
sending letters, since March of 2009, to the property owners reminding them of their obligation to pay the
impact fees. As of this date, seven hundred ninety-six thousand, seven hundred four and 91/100
($796,704.91) has been collected by the County as a result of these efforts. In addition, fourteen property
owners paid the fees through Impact Fee Payment Agreements,
On September 20, 2011, St. Lucie County and Port St. Lucie entered into an Interlocal Agreement
whereas the City has agreed to collect the applicable Impact fees prior to issuing a building permit.
The following four parcels are a portion of those that were sent letters and have either not
responded or have indicated that they will not pay the impact fees. They are:

FROM: Mark J. Godwin, Criminal Justice Coordinator
DATE: January 15, 2013
SUBJECT: Creation of new full time position (Lab Specialist) for the St. Lucie County Drug
Screening Lab.
ITEM NO. VI-B-3
Background:
The St. Lucie County Drug Screening Lab opened on July 1, 2008. The Lab has tested many clients
in the public and private sectors. In 2012, the lab conducted over 24,000 tests (see attached graph).
Furthermore, due to an increase in client usage, an immediate need for combining a vacant part time
position with another part time position would result in a new full time position.
If approved, the new full time lab specialist position will be funded from the SLC Lab's operating
budget.
Additionally, the funds to cover the Lab Specialist will be budgeted in the lab operating budget, and
will have no impact on the County budget.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board approve the full time Lab Specialist position be approved.

Park Playground
VI-C2
In the FY12-13 budget, the Board approved $100,000 for the Parks and Special Facilities Division to
provide a new playground at Pepper Park (Equipment Request #13-024) utilizing MSTU funds. In 2009,
due to safety hazards, the old playground, which was originally installed in 1998, was removed. The new
playground will incorporate stainless steel and aluminum wherever possible to make it more resistant to
the harsh salt water environment. The total cost for the Landscape Structures playground package
including freight and installation is $99,553,80. A rendering of the playground is attached. Staff is
requesting approval to piggyback Clay County's contract with Rep Services, Inc. and to purchase and
install playground equipment at Pepper Park. In lieu of informal or formal quotations, or issuance of an
Invitation to Bid, the County may piggyback off of contracts of other governments and agencies to
procure goods and services per section 5.5 of Purchasing Manual.
Recommendation:
Board authorization to piggyback Clay County's contract with Rep Services, Inc. to purchase and
install playground equipment in the amount of $99,553.80; as outlined in this agenda memorandum

VI-1)
Backaround:
Project SwimFly has requested economic development incentives in consideration of its interest in locating an aviation
manufacturing facility, pilot training and mechanical diagnostics operation to St. Lucie County. Project SwimFly is an
existing aviation 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 SwimFly is to hire 75 employees over a three year period at an average annual salary of $32,000
($15.38/hour). The company anticipates an investment of $1.7 million in land, building and equipment.
In consideration of the 75 employees to be hired and its $1.7 million capital investment, Project SwimFly is eligible for
an ad valorem tax exemption phased over six (6) years. Based upon the number of employees to be hired and the
average annual salary, the company is also eligible for a Job Growth Investment Grant in the amount of $146,250
payable over five (5) years ($29,250/year).
Staff is recommending that Project SwimFly receive an ad valorem tax exemption and a Job Growth Investment Grant
with the creation of 75 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 SwimFly an Ad Valorem
Tax Exemption phased over six (6) years and a Job Growth Investment Grant (JGIG) in the amount of $146,250
phased over five (5) years ($29,250 per year).

SUBJECT: Paradise Park Storm Water Improvements — Phase 3
ITEM NO. VI — E1
Background:
Paradise Park Subdivision consists of approximately 168 acres located on North 15th, 17th, 19th,
21st and 23rd Streets between two drainage canals: South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) Canal 25 and Ft. Pierce Farms Water Control District (FPFWCD) Canal 1. The
subdivision was developed in the 1960's before State water quality regulations were developed,
and has poor storm water conveyances and lack of storm water treatment. During rain events, the
storm water outfalls directly into the two canals, both of which discharge into the Indian River
Lagoon by means of Taylor Creek, approximately one -quarter mile away.
Project improvements include drainage swales along the subdivision streets for pretreatment and
conveyance to storm water detention and treatment facilities. Storm water runoff treatment facilities
include dry detention ponds and control structures for discharge of treated runoff to the C-25 and Ft.
Pierce Canals. The proposed storm water conveyances and treatment areas will dramatically
reduce outfall of fresh water and storm water pollutants from Paradise Park into the Indian River
Lagoon.
Phase 1 of this project was completed in May 2007. Phase 2 was completed in June 2010. Phase
3 is presently under construction with an estimated completion in March 2013. The grant allocation
of $1,000,000 has assisted with construction expenses associated with construction of the storm
water conveyance and treatment systems. St. Lucie County's cost share was $1,000,000 totaling
$2,000,000 toward the total project costs for Phase 3 of the Paradise Park retrofit.
Actual construction costs resulted in a reduction of $400,000 from the $1,000,000 grant allocation.
Unused grant funds must be returned to the St. Lucie River Issues Team (SLRIT) Board for
redistribution to other projects. The grant is setup to fund one specific project and the unused funds
cannot be spent on subsequent phases of the Paradise Park Subdivision. However, the funds have
been re -appropriated to the Heathcote Project in St. Lucie County through the SLRIT.
In addition, the original amended grant completion date is January 4, 2013. This modification will
extend the grant deadline to May 4, 2013 and allow the County to complete construction and
recover the remaining funds available from the granting agency.

Solid Waste
MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Ron Roberts, Solid Waste Division Director
DATE: January 15, 2013
SUBJECT: CDM work authorization No. 9 and CIP 13-036 for Recyclables Processing Facility
ITEM NO. E3
Background:
The Solid Waste Division constructed a construction and demolition debris (C&D) processing facility in
the summer of 2004. At that time the incoming daily C&D tonnage was approximately 250 tons per day.
The system was designed with growth in mind and was capable of processing up to 500 tons per day.
The C&D daily tonnage peaked at 1000 tons per day in 2005.
In 2011 the daily tonnage of C&D dropped to 50 tons per day. Realizing that we had a stranded asset,
staff began considering alternative uses for the equipment. It was determined that with a few
modifications the system could process recyclable materials.
In June 2012 the board approved a recyclables processing fee with an implementation date of August 1
2012. Since that date we have been processing recyclables and C&D debris on alternate days.
Since the implementation date of the recyclables program the tonnage of this material and C&D debris
have doubled. Staff has determined that these increases together with projected growth in both streams
warrant the consideration of the design and construction of a recyclables processing facility. This would
allow for the processing of both streams at the projected levels.
Previous Action: N/A
Recommendation:
Board approval of CDM Work Authorization No. 9 for professional engineering services to assist St.
Lucie County Solid Waste with the design, permitting, bidding and construction administration for the
proposed recyclables processing facilities for a total of $452,975, approve CIP13-036 and authorize the
Chairman to execute documents as prepared by the County Attorney.

Verada Ditch Improvements South of Calmoso Drive
VI-E4
The Verada Ditch is a County -owned drainage facility that lies largely within the city limits of Port St.
Lucie. It was constructed many decades ago by the General Development Corporation. The ditch
provides vital stormwater conveyance for many square miles of residential neighborhoods and the
associated roadways.
In 2008, Tropical Storm Fay severely impacted the Verada Ditch. Significant lengths of the
embankments were eroded and collapsed. Initial estimates of the cost to repair the canal slopes quickly
summed to the multi -million dollar level. These repairs were not anticipated in the Capital Improvement
Plan project list.
St. Lucie County was very fortunate to receive financial assistance from the National Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS). The NRCS provided slightly more than $4 million. The County provided
a 25% match that brought the project budget to about $5.4 million. The County was responsible for any
funding above the grant amount. The funds were provided with the stipulation that work must be
completed by July 18, 2009.
The work was divided into two similarly -sized projects. The southern portion was awarded to Ranger
Construction Industries in the amount of $3.03 million on March 24, 2009.
The project was completed on time and within the established budget. Upon completion, NCRS
reviewed the completed work and they too found it to be in conformance to the plans and specifications
and to have been completed within the allotted time frame. However, it has only recently been noted
that this project was not presented to the Board for acceptance. There are no issues associated with
our grant funds nor with contractor performance. While there are issues associated with the Verada
Ditch, these are not associated with the contractor. An agenda item to address the current issues will
be forthcoming in February. It is staff's request for the Board to accept the project at this time.

DATE: January 15, 2013
SUBJECT: Bid No. 13-007, Aquatic Vegetation Control Services
ITEM NO. VI-E6
Background:
On December 5, 2012, submittals to Bid No. 13-007, Aquatic Vegetation Control Services, were
opened. The purpose of this bid is for mowing and aquatic weed control of thirty storm water
retention and detention areas and sixteen drainage swales and canals under the direction of the
Public Works Department. In addition, the bid contains pricing to maintain nine storm water
retention and detention areas under the direction of the Parks, Recreation and Facilities
Department and pricing to perform water lettuce control for Mosquito Control and Coastal
Management Services. Five bids were received; 274 companies were notified and 34 bid
documents were distributed.
The project was bid in accordance with Local Preference Ordinance No. 09-005. Under the
ordinance, bids are awarded to the lowest responsive bidder. When the lowest bidder is a non -
local business and a bid from a local business is within 5% of it, the local preference provision is
triggered. The local business is allowed to match the price of the non -local business; thereby
winning the bid.
DeAngelo Brothers, Inc. dba Aquagenix of Riviera Beach submitted the lowest total bid for the
three-year contract period as shown on the attached bid tabulation sheet. There was no local
bidder within five percent of DeAngeleo Brothers' bid. Therefore, staff is recommending
approval to award Bid No. 13-007 for Aquatic Vegetation Control Services to the lowest
responsive and responsible bidder, DeAngelo Brothers, Inc. dba Aquagenix of Riviera Beach.
Recommendation
Board approval to award Bid No. 13-007 for Aquatic Vegetation Control Services to the lowest

C.A. NO: 12-1518
DATE: January 15, 2013
SUBJECT: Code Enforcement Case No. 72784,1707 Wyoming Avenue, Fort Pierce, FL
BACKGROUND:
St. Lucie County has received code compliance complaints from the neighbors of this
property at 1707 Wyoming Avenue, Fort Pierce, FL (the "Property") and have exhausted all
avenues to gain compliance.
The Property was cited by Code Enforcement on July 10, 2012 in Case No. 72784. The
Property was found to be in violation of Section 1-9-32(D) Tall Grass of the St. Lucie County Code
and Compiled Laws. It was requested that the owner mow and maintain the entire property for
excessive overgrowth of grass and weeds.
The violations continue to exist. The conditions have created a public health safety and
unsanitary nuisance on this Property. (See photograph attached).

or safety purpose for such property to be cleaned of weeds or othergrowth of materials, including,
boarding and securing all windows and doors, the Board of County Commissioners shall cause a
notice to be delivered requiring abatement of this nuisance. if the nuisance is not abated, the
Board may order those lots to be cleared of materials.

DATE: January 15, 2013
SUBJECT: Ft. Pierce Shore Protection Project
ITEM NO. II-B
Background:
Ft. Pierce Beach is a 1.3-mile federally authorized Shore Protection Project (SPP) immediately south of
Ft. Pierce Inlet. Capron Shoal, located approximately 4 miles southeast of Ft. Pierce Inlet, has served as
the offshore borrow area for this project since 1999. The shoal currently contains sufficient deposits of
beach compatible sand for future nourishment projects. However, the currently permitted portion of the
borrow area does not provide enough material for the next federal nourishment project expected to occur
in late 2013 or early 2014.
Work Authorization No. 13 (C8-12-632) with Taylor Engineering, Inc. ($181,970) includes the data
collection, engineering design and permitting services necessary to evaluate the remaining sediments
within Capron Shoal, permit a portion of the borrow site for the upcoming nourishment and develop a
borrow area conservation plan to meet the long-term needs of the Ft. Pierce SPP. This scope of work has
been transmitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) for review. Erosion District Reserves will be used to fund this effort with
cost sharing or project credit potentially available from these agencies in the future.
Recommendation:
Board approval of Work Authorization No. 13 with Taylor Engineering and authorization for the Chairman
to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney.
