September 17, 2019Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes 3 - Final 12.A.1. 19-0843 Request to Waive Bid Process for Community Development Software Staff Report MGO web-based Community Development Software Agreement Attachments: Community Development Director Roland DeBlois requested the Board's consideration in waiving the bid process as his department seeks to replace their software with an updated system. Director DeBlois began his PowerPoint presentation with a review of the department's current software, explaining that it was cumbersome because it required staff to synchronize separate programs for permitting and inspections. The presentation continued with the discovery process and a comparison of the most popular permitting applications. After inter-departmental input, staff recommended the My Government Online (MGO) program. Director DeBlois detailed the unique qualities of this software which was created to serve government jurisdictions, and has the ability to coordinate several departments such as permitting, inspections, planning and zoning, and others. He continued with a list of the benefits of MGO, other user's experiences, the cost, and a phased implementation plan. Since MGO utilizes an inter-governmental agreement rather than a standard contract, staff recommended waiving the usual bid process and the adoption of this system. Commissioner O'Bryan received confirmation that the MGO software was user-friendly and accessible through the internet. Debby Phail, County Applications Specialist, addressed Commissioner O'Bryan's safety concerns with details of MGO's secure, cloud-based servers, and noted that other security issues were addressed in the inter-governmental agreement. Commissioner Zorc requested a breakdown of the costs by all the departments that would utilize the software. County Administrator Jason Brown confirmed that there was a cost allocation for each department, and that he would furnish this information to the Board. In response to Commissioner Zorc's question of timing, Director DeBlois advised that he anticipated a July 2020 date for rollout of the first phase. Vice Chairman Adams voiced her support of the move to upgrade the Building Department's software system. A motion was made by Vice Chairman Adams, seconded by Commissioner Zorc, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion Page 11Indian River County Florida

Public WorksF. 12.F.1. 19-0826 FDEP Grant Agreement No. 19IR3 Vero Beach Restoration - Sector 5 Staff Report 19IR3 Vero Beach Restoration IRC Grant Form 19IR3 Attachments: Public Works Director Rich Szpyrka appeared before the Board seeking approval of a Federal Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Grant Agreement designed to assist local governments with beach erosion control. Under the Florida Beach Management Funding Assistance Program, the FDEP had allocated $1.7 million for the feasibility, design, and construction of the Sector 5 Beach and Dune Restoration Project. Director Szpyrka explained the grant agreement would provide half of the funds now, with the remainder available at a later date. He concluded by detailing the sources of the County's matching funds for the Sector 5 project. In response to his question, Commissioner O'Bryan was advised that details of the project would be provided under Item 12.F.2. Award of Bid No. 2019066, Sector 5 Beach and Dune Restoration Project. A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner Zorc, to approve staff's recommendation.

She explained that the sand losses from Hurricanes Matthew and Irma caused this stretch of shoreline to be declared critically eroded. The restoration project would replace those losses by placing beach-compatible sand within the project area. Ms. Cope explained the permitting process and the required construction easements needed to access privately owned portions of the beach west of the mean high water line. An interactive map of parcels, which was created to track the status of the approved easements, was presented. Property owners who declined to approve the construction easement would not have sand replaced behind their property. The presentation continued with photographs of the erosion, the bidding process, and funding sources for the renourishment project. Also included was an estimate of the cost to replace sand lost from Hurricane Dorian's brush with the coast on September 3, 2019. Ms. Cope concluded with staff's recommendation to award the bid to the Rio-Bak Corporation. Commissioner O'Bryan received confirmation that Rio-Back had successfully completed similar projects in Florida. County Administrator Jason Brown recommended using this opportunity to replace the sand lost from Hurricane Dorian as well. He suggested using money from the Beach Restoration Fund Reserve; staff would pursue reimbursement from grants related to Hurricane Dorian when those funds become available. Chairman Solari opened the Public Hearing. Tuck Ferrell, 12546 North A1A, advocated for residents in Sector 5 to agree to the easement which allowed replacement of lost sand. He pointed out the importance of the barrier island, and urged residents in Sector 5 to work together to save the beach. Page 13Indian River County Florida
September 17, 2019Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes 3 - Final There being no further speakers, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner Flescher, to approve: 1) staff's recommendation; and 2) the use of Beach Restoration Fund Reserves to pay for the additional beach erosion caused by Hurricane Dorian. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: Chairman Solari, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner Flescher, Commissioner O'Bryan, and Commissioner Zorc 5 - The Chairman called for a recess at 10:13 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at 10:22 a.m., with all members present.

September 17, 2019Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes 3 - Final 13.A. 19-0841 City of Sebastian Graves Brothers Annexation - Florida Governmental Conflict Resolution Act Resolution Staff Report Chapter 164 Resolution Annexation 2019 Chairman's letter Attachments: County Attorney Dylan Reingold opened by detailing the County's concerns with the City of Sebastian's (the City) voluntary annexation of 1,116 acres owned by the Graves Brothers Company, which was passed on August 28, 2019. He recounted that on August 13, 2019, the Board had directed the County Attorney to take necessary steps to preserve the County's appellate rights regarding the annexation. Pursuant to that direction, the Attorney's office drafted a Resolution initiating the Florida Governmental Conflict Resolution Act. Attorney Reingold noted that this was an opportunity to discuss the legal issues surrounding the annexation and the County's stated concerns. There being no questions from the Board, the Chairman opened discussion to the public. Paul Carlisle, Sebastian City Manager, addressed the Board with rebuttal to Attorney Reingold's statements regarding water and sewer services. He believed the City had addressed the County's concerns by creating an annexation agreement with the developer, and that they were still open to refining the Interlocal Agreement with the County. Discussion ensued between Mr. Carlisle and the Board regarding the County's request to postpone the City's vote, the County's view that there was a lack of communication, and the supposition that the urgency for the August 28 vote was an attempt to increase the land value ahead of a planned valuation with the Florida Department of Transportation. County Administrator Jason Brown made mention of the omission of a right-of-way agreement along County Road 510 in the City's annexation agreement with the developer. Jeff Bass, President and CEO of the Graves Brothers Company, appeared before the Board to discuss the water and drainage planning for the annexed land. He refuted the suggestion that the urgency for the August 28 vote was to increase the land value, stating that the timing of the voluntary annexation was his prerogative. Mr. Bass continued with an appeal to work out the County's and City's annexation issues ahead of initiation of the Conflict Resolution Act. Joseph Paladin, Indian River Neighborhood Association (IRNA), stated that the IRNA supported the County and their concerns that there was not enough Page 15Indian River County Florida
September 17, 2019Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes 3 - Final impact planning in the City's annexation agreement with the developer. The IRNA suggested more communication was needed to address all parties concerns. Donna Halloran, 925 Greenbrier Avenue, stated that she and other residents have filed a formal legal action suit against the annexation and described the process as a farce. Ed Dodd, Sebastian City Councilmember, defended the City's handling of the annexation process, and discussed the City's pending issues with the County over water and sewer services. Carter Taylor, Board member, Clean Water Coalition, expressed the need for local governments to cooperate, and voiced concerns over possible annexation of contiguous parcels. Administrator Jason Brown addressed some of the speakers' comments on issues such as permitting of a planned water farm, a shared-use pond agreement, and water/wastewater capacity limits due to infrastructure constraints. Discussion continued on the issue of utilities infrastructure with Commissioner Zorc and Utility Director Vincent Burke detailing the challenges, costs, and timeline needed to expand the County's water and wastewater processing capacities in order to accommodate the annexed land. Commissioner Flescher raised the question of having a special call meeting to further discuss the County's interests related to the annexation. Attorney Reingold and Administrator Brown discussed the challenges of holding a special call meeting, and noted that the conflict resolution process allowed time for County and City staff to negotiate their concerns. Comments closed with Vice Chairman Adams' comments on the annexation process, and her support for the conflict resolution process. A motion was made by Commissioner Flescher, seconded by Commissioner O'Bryan, to approve Resolution 2019-075, declaring the intent of the Board to initiate the Conflict Resolution procedures set forth in Chapter 164, Florida Statutes, the Florida Governmental Conflict Resolution Act; finding that a conflict exists with the City of Sebastian with respect to the Graves Brothers Company Voluntary Annexation; directing the County Administrator to mail a certified copy of this resolution to the City of Sebastian as well as the City of Fellsmere. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: Chairman Solari, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner Flescher, Commissioner O'Bryan, and Commissioner Zorc 5 - Page 16Indian River County Florida
September 17, 2019Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes 3 - Final 13.B. 19-0873 Land Swap with St. Lucie County Staff Report IRC-SLC Parcel Swap Attachments: County Attorney Dylan Reingold recounted the details of the property owned by Oscar and Gretchen Szentirmai located at 2498 South Highway A1A, on the east side of A1A. The property lies partly in Indian River County and partly in St. Lucie County. While a previous construction agreement addressed issues of permitting, impact fees, and concurrency, it did not address issues related to the provision of services to the property. Mr. Szentirmai has requested a boundary change which would place the entire property in Indian River County and eliminate any confusion about the provision of services. Discussions ensued between the two counties with a tentative agreement to have property along the west side of A1A designated as being in St. Lucie County in exchange for the Szentirmai property being relocated to Indian River County. Attorney Reingold advised that upon the Board's approval, the matter would next move to the Florida Legislature for approval of the boundary change. A motion was made by Commissioner O'Bryan, seconded by Vice Chairman Adams, to approve staff's recommendation. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: Chairman Solari, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner Flescher, Commissioner O'Bryan, and Commissioner Zorc 5 - COMMISSIONERS MATTERS14.
