He noted the County needs to invoke the executive session requirement and discuss what those decisions mean in terms of where the case goes from here and what the ramifications of that are going to be.

Meg Bryant stated the Titusville Transformation Plan Committee is a group of 35 citizens of Titusville; they spent 40 hours together over three days composing the draft Plan; every item it is presenting was reached by consensus; and all 35 citizens agreed to every item on the Plan. She noted it came up with core beliefs, a mission statement, parameters, objectives, and strategies; the strategies have been turned over to action teams who are going to come up with an action plan from

September to December, 1996; and in January, 1997, the Plan will come back with all of its action plans for approval by the Titusville City Council.

Cordell Williams stated being on the Committee has been an experience that he and his family will always cherish; this process has made him aware that the people have the power to change status quo; they want to see the City change; and that is why they are together. He noted as the Committee works together, it expects to see the City change; and it will work toward that goal.

Brenda Bray and Frank Williams presented the draft core beliefs, as follows: (1) honesty and integrity are essential for personal and community relationships to endure and prosper; (2) all people have intrinsic value; (3) all people are responsible for their own actions; (4) family is the foundation upon which the community is built and sustained; (5) community goals will be reached when diverse groups establish and make a common commitment to those goals; (6) in change there is great opportunity for community advancement; (7) the positive development of a community’s youth is vital to its future; and lifelong learning is key to community progress.

Rick McCotter presented the draft mission statement, as follows: The mission of Titusville, Florida, the global gateway to space and cutting-edge technologies, enriched by our human, physical and natural resources is to be a dynamic destination community rich with diverse cultural, educational and economic opportunities where families flourish in a secure, friendly, and clean environment achieved by a community-wide commitment to transformation through visionary leadership and aggressive planning for vibrant growth.

Carl Hughes presented the draft parameters, as follows: The Committee will not initiate any new program or service unless it contributes directly to its mission and it is accompanied by the resources necessary to assure its effectiveness.

Melinda Kenyon and Ray Smith presented the draft objectives, as follows: (1) by 2002, Titusville will create at least 2,000 net new jobs, at least 2/3rds of which are value added, in Titusville and the surrounding area exclusive of NASA/DOD jobs; (2) by 1997 and every year thereafter, Titusville will enrich existing community functions by the introduction of two new major cultural, educational and entertaining community-wide events which appeal to the interests of, and are supported by, the community; (3) by 2002, 100% of the customers will be pleased with the quality of services received from the City; and (4) by 2002, 100% of the citizens of the community will indicate that Titusville is a great place to live and raise a family.

Michelle Luecking and Chuck Bogle presented the draft strategies, as follows: (1) Titusville will develop the means to ensure that the citizens and families of Titusville are pleased with the quality of service and life, and develop a measurement system with which to gauge their level of satisfaction; (2) it will develop a comprehensive plan to improve and maintain the City’s infrastructure and aesthetic beauty to encourage a sense of community; (3) it will create a process to develop quality leadership throughout the community in order to achieve the objectives and mission of its transformation plan; (4) it will develop and implement a plan to educate and encourage all segments of its community to be committed to and involved in the achievement of its objectives and mission; (5) it will create a plan to continually coordinate, organize and communicate all information regarding cultural, educational and employment opportunities for the benefit of its citizens and visitors; and (6) it will have a consistent plan to attract diverse employment opportunities to its community.

Mr. Ackley stated what the Board just heard was developed by the citizens of Titusville, not the staff; such citizens were unanimous; all decisions had to be 100%; there were 35 people who had never met each other before; and they reached consensus on every issue just heard. He expressed appreciation to the Board for this opportunity.

Commissioner Scarborough stated the Board stands ready to help the Committee and work with it in any way possible.

The Board acknowledged presentation by Titusville City Manager Sam Ackley and members of the Titusville Transformation Plan Committee on the Titusville Transformation Plan.

Motion by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Ellis, to adopt Resolution strongly urging President Bill Clinton to extol and vigorously pursue each appropriate agency of the United States Government to energetically use every resource available to locate, arrest, and bring to the world those persons responsible for the terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia.

Commissioner Scarborough inquired does Commissioner O’Brien have a copy of the Executive Order he wishes to be rescinded; stated he is apprehensive about getting into international politics at this level; and he would like to know the impact and what he is voting on. Commissioner Ellis stated the Board is doing a Resolution of support; and it is important to do that. Chairman Cook suggested the Board delete the Executive Order part. Commissioner Higgs stated she wants to honor the people who have lost their lives; she is ready to support the President and Commander and Chief; but she finds it not possible to support the fourth paragraph; and she does not think it honors those individuals who lost their lives to say that justice is served by murder. Chairman Cook suggested Paragraph 4 of the Resolution be deleted so it can be unanimous.

Chairman Cook called for a vote on the motion, to adopt Resolution strongly urging President Bill Clinton to extol and vigorously pursue each appropriate agency of the United States Government to energetically use every resource available to locate, arrest, and bring to the world those persons responsible for the terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia, minus Paragraph 4.

There being no objections heard, motion was made by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Scarborough, to approve administrative rezoning of Pine Breeze Acres and Hendry Gardens Subdivisions from RU-2-10 to RU-2-6, with the exception of Lots 16 and 17, Block B, Pine Breeze Acres Subdivision, owned by Robert R. Chafiott, Sr.; Tax Parcel 527 and Lot 23, Block A, Pine Breeze Acres Subdivision, owned by James T. Speegle; Tax Parcel 530, owned by Roland Chester Smith; and Tax Parcel 526.1, owned by Dorothy B.

PUBLIC HEARING, RE: ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A DEPENDENT SPECIAL DISTRICT
FOR PORT ST. JOHN AREA

Chairman Cook called for the public hearing to consider an ordinance establishing a dependent special district for Port St. John area.

Joseph Stadnick, Mary Tees, and Maureen Rupe expressed support for the ordinance.

Linda McKinney, expressed objection to the ordinance.

Discussion ensued on establishment of dependent special districts, public input, and sunset provisions.

Motion by Commissioner Scarborough, seconded by Commissioner Higgs, to adopt Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida creating a dependent special district to be known as the Port St. John Dependent Special District; providing for the purpose of the District; setting forth the powers, functions, and duties of the District; creating the methods for establishing and dissolving the District; providing a method for amending the Charter of the District; providing for the membership and organization of the Governing Board of the District; requiring compliance with applicable financial disclosure, noticing, and reporting requirements; establishing procedures for the conduct of the district elections and qualifications of electors of the District; setting forth methods for financing the District; setting forth geographic boundaries for the District; establishing authority for removal and budget approval; providing for severability; providing for an area embraced; and providing for an effective date.

Commissioner Ellis stated he cannot support the ordinance the way it is; he sees the County going from an advisory board to a city council type of set up without being a city; and he is concerned this will lead to 10 or 12 pseudo cities set up for areas when their best option would be to incorporate, form a true city, and be independent.

Commissioner O’Brien stated Commissioner Scarborough has made a very good attempt at helping a community within his District; he is asking the Board to cooperate; and he agrees with the suggestion on a sunset provision in the ordinance which could be every two years.

Commissioner Scarborough amended the motion to include the sunset provision of every two years in the motion; and Commissioner Higgs accepted the amendment.

Commissioner Ellis stated his concern on this is once the County starts these, it will never be able to go back; with Commissioner Higgs responding the Board has addressed it with the sunset provision.

Discussion ensued on how the dependent special district should be set up.

Commissioner O’Brien suggested the motion include that the sunset provision be under public hearing and not the consent agenda. Commissioner Scarborough stated he will incorporate that language in the motion; and Commissioner Higgs accepted the amendment.

County Attorney Scott Knox recommended adding to Section 13, under effective date, a new sentence to read, “This ordinance shall stand repealed, effective July 1, 1998, unless extended after a public hearing held by the Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County prior to that date.”

Chairman Cook called for a vote on the motion, as amended. Motion carried and ordered; Commissioner Ellis voted nay. (See page for Ordinance No. 96-30.)

The meeting recessed at 10:37 a.m.

The meeting reconvened at 10:55 a.m.

DIRECTION, RE: REGULATING ROADSIDE VENDORS

Leonard Beckett, 96 E. Eau Gallie Boulevard, Melbourne, Brevard County Florist Association, recommended the Sheriff’s Office be named specifically in the ordinance as the primary policing agency; stated such Office presently is the only agency capable of issuing the citations called for both in the State Statutes and County Ordinances; his problem with Code Enforcement is it is a reactive body which does not work on the weekends; and if the Board chooses to have Code Enforcement be the primary agency, it should be instructed to be pro-active in enforcing this issue and have citation authority. He stated he supports all the other recommendations; and recommended the duties of the Tax Collector’s Office be addressed in the amended ordinance. Mr. Beckett urged that the appropriate amendments be made, there be a time line, and the item be placed on the agency every 30 days until there is completion action.

Commissioner O’Brien stated the ordinance should be strengthened; the County should require a letter from the property owner before an occupational license is issued; he concurs that the Sheriff’s Office should be the law enforcement agency to handle this; Code Enforcement should not have citation power and it is not pro-active; and that is how he prefers to keep Code Enforcement personnel. He noted the penalty provision could be amended; and he cannot see 60 days in jail as it is a long time.

Commissioner Ellis stated he does not understand the provision on obstructing the right-of-way; he does not know what sanitary standards is supposed to mean; and he is concerned that the County is putting more rules than are necessary to handle the problem. Chairman Cook stated Code Enforcement should not have citation authority; and it should be the Sheriff’s Office enforcing whatever action the Board takes.

Assistant County Attorney Christine Lapore explained the provision on obstructing the right-of-way. Commissioner Higgs stated this would only deal with roadside vendors in obstructing the right-of-way; with Commissioner Ellis responding there needs to be something specific in the ordinance as it is very broad. Commissioners Scarborough and Cook stated they concur with Commissioner Ellis on eliminating provision 4.

Ms. Lapore stated the reason she recommended a provision for failure to sign a citation is because it is standard for any citation provision that the Sheriff’s Office issues.

Commissioner Scarborough suggested Traffic Engineering Director Billy Osborne review the traffic and safety concerns.

Commissioner O’Brien suggested the County Attorney look at a specific distance from the edge of the road which would eliminate the Board’s concern on the right-of-way issue, and the Zoning Code creating a single definition for roadside vendors.

Motion by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Cook, to direct the County Attorney to include revisions to the draft ordinance regulating roadside vendors, as follows: (1) a defined distance from the edge of the road rather than obstructing the right-of-way; (2) the Sheriff’s Office be the enforcement agency; (3) the Zoning Code create a single definition for roadside vendors as proposed; (4) refusal to sign a citation is a second degree misdemeanor punishable by up to five days in jail and/or up to a $500 fine; and (5) the vendor provide a certified or notarized copy of the permission from the property owner to the Tax Collector before an occupational license is issued, with such copy being on site while the vendor is selling.

Commissioner Scarborough inquired if Commissioner O’Brien has a problem including in the motion that Traffic Engineering provide comments pertaining to traffic and safety concerns; with Commissioner O’Brien responding negatively.

Commissioner Higgs suggested such inclusions or amendments to the ordinance be on a separate list and also in ordinance form; with Commissioners O’Brien and Cook responding that is acceptable. Chairman Cook stated this will come back to the Board on August 6, 1996. He called for a vote on the motion. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

DISCUSSION, RE: RANKING OF FLORIDA INLAND NAVIGATION DISTRICT (F.I.N.D.)
GRANT REQUESTS

George L. Reynolds, 1395 Glen Haven Drive, Merritt Island, District 2 Dredging Committee member and representative of the Citizens for Florida Waterways and 2,465 canal front lot owners on Merritt Island, stated the Committee has been working to secure all the information and develop a plan for immediate and long-term maintenance of the canals; the money has to come from Brevard County unless federal or state grants appear; the property owners have paid in; and now the County needs to pay out. He noted the County is provided approximately $234,000 for ongoing maintenance; it will take approximately $1 million plus to bring the canals up to safe and usable condition; and the homeowners should be getting something for their money other than promises. Mr. Reynolds stated the East Merritt Island Homeowners Association recommends the County give canal dredging its highest priority if these funds are to be available for the project; and requested the Board take some action for the homeowners.

Albert Elebash, 1050 Carrigan Boulevard, Merritt Island, Chairman of District 2 Advisory Committee on Waterway Maintenance, stated the Committee is in competition with two other projects proposed by the County for FIND dollars; this particular project has been neglected for 30 years or more; and the County needs to take action on it.

Lieutenant John Coppola, representing the Sheriff’s Office, stated such Office is requesting two patrol boats in this grant which is a total of $103,000; it presently has three patrol boats; one of them is 12 years old, one has been replaced within two years, and the other boat is from Customs as a loaner; and requested the Board’s consideration.

Commissioner Higgs stated she would support the projects ranked as follows: (1) Marine Intracoastal Enforcement; (2) Merritt Island Waterways Maintenance Dredging; and (3) Kennedy Point Park.

Motion by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Cook, to establish a ranking of the three requests submitted by Brevard County to the Florida Inland Navigation District for a grant under the Waterways Assistance Program, as follows: (1) Merritt Island Waterways Maintenance Dredging; (2) Kennedy Point Park; and (3) Marine Intracoastal Enforcement; and authorize staff to provide the information to the FIND Commission as part of the grant review process.

Commissioner Ellis stated he supports the ranking as (1) Merritt Island Waterways Maintenance Dredging; (2) Marine Intracoastal Enforcement; and (3) Kennedy Point Park.

Chairman Cook called for a vote on the motion. Motion did not carry; Commissioners O’Brien and Cook voted aye, Commissioners Scarborough, Higgs and Ellis voted nay.

Motion by Commissioner Ellis, to establish a ranking of the three requests submitted by Brevard County to the Florida Inland Navigation District for a grant under the Waterways Assistance Program, as follows: (1) Merritt Island Waterways Maintenance Dredging; (2) Marine Intracoastal Enforcement; and (3) Kennedy Point Park; and authorize staff to provide the information to the FIND Commission as part of the grant review process. Motion died for lack of a second.

Motion by Commissioner Scarborough, to make no recommendation and each Commissioner individually communicate his or her concerns. Motion died for lack of a second.

Motion by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Ellis, to establish a ranking of the three requests submitted by Brevard County to the Florida Inland Navigation District for a grant under the Waterways Assistance Program, as follows: (1) Merritt Island Waterways Maintenance Dredging; (2) Kennedy Point Park; and (3) Marine Intracoastal Enforcement; and authorize staff to provide the information to the FIND Commission as part of the grant review process. Motion carried and ordered; Commissioners Scarborough and Higgs voted nay.

Commissioner Ellis requested staff provide a report to the Board in a couple of weeks about picking up the excess funds from other park projects and working toward Kennedy Point Park.

PUBLIC HEARING, RE: ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 78, USE OF PARKS

Chairman Cook called for the public hearing to consider ordinance amending Chapter 78, Use of Parks.

Paul Gougelman, 1825 S. Riverview Drive, Melbourne, representing City of Melbourne, stated he would like to speak about Sections 2.B, Section 5 and Section 11 of the proposed draft ordinance; the City began looking at some of the County Ordinances because it has noticed problems within the County parks located within the City; and Captain John Short of Melbourne Police Department asked the City to look at the enforceability of the County’s regulations within the City of Melbourne. He noted the County ordinance may not be enforceable within the City; the parks are the County’s; it should be enforceable within the City of Melbourne; the City contacted the County Attorney’s Office to get input from it as well; and its conclusion was pretty much the same as his which is the ordinance may not be enforceable within the City. Mr. Gougelman stated the language drafted in Section 2.B by the staff is acceptable to the City of Melbourne and Melbourne Police Department; and it would like to add an additional sentence to that Section as follows: “Within any municipality, law enforcement officers of that municipality are authorized to enforce this Ordinance.” He noted in Section 5, after the words “The Department and its employees”, the City would like to add “or any law enforcement officers”; and at the end of Section 11 regarding trespass, after the word “employee” add “or a law enforcement officer.” He advised the Police Department gets called to respond to the County’s parks on occasion; the Department is much more available within the City than the sheriff officers are; the people want some relief and enforcement of these laws; and this will make it possible to do so.

There being no objections heard, motion was made by Commissioner Scarborough, seconded for discussion by Commissioner O’Brien, to adopt Ordinance repealing Article III of Chapter 78 (Sections 78-76 through 78-148), entitled “Park Use”, Code of Ordinances of Brevard County, and supplementing the Brevard County Code, Chapter 78, by creating an article entitled “Use of Parks”; providing definitions; expressing the general intent; setting forth rules regulating the use of parks and recreational facilities owned and operated by Brevard County; providing a procedure for the issuance of permits; providing for fees; providing for penalties and methods for administration; providing for severability; and providing an effective date, as amended.

Motion by Commissioner Higgs, seconded by Commissioner Cook, to delete “the” on the second line in Section F, on Page 4; on Page 4, Section G, second line, delete “be taken” and change it to “be made”; on Page 5, change the title of “Penal Conduct” to “Violations and Penalties”; and on Page 5, Section 9, second line, insert “of the Code of Ordinances of Brevard County, Florida.” Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

Motion by Commissioner Higgs, seconded by Commissioner Scarborough, to include “and review by the County Manager”, under Appeal of the Applicant, on Page 4, G. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

Motion by Commissioner Higgs, seconded by Commissioner Cook, to approve a five-day review by the County Manager. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

Motion by Commissioner Higgs, seconded by Commissioner Scarborough, to approve “Prohibited Conduct” as title for Division 3, Page 8, instead of “Non-penal Conduct.” Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

Motion by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Scarborough, to include “at a single event during the two calendar years immediately preceding the application in Brevard County or any other jurisdiction” on Page 4, Security, Paragraph 3. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

Motion by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Cook, to add at the end of Section 19, Property Damage, “Any violator of this Section shall also be liable for actual damages caused to County property.” Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

Chairman Cook called for a vote on the original motion, as amended. Motion carried and ordered unanimously. (See page for Ordinance No. 96-31.)

The meeting recessed at 12:15 p.m.

The meeting reconvened at 1:20 p.m.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE - HELEN THOMAS, RE: LAW ENFORCEMENT PROBLEMS

Helen Thomas, 2661 Wright Avenue, Melbourne, stated for the past 10 years, her life has been destroyed by character assassination; although she has not committed any crime and she is not going to commit any crime, she is stalked by citizen volunteers who, in cooperation with law enforcement, have targeted her for a 24-hour-a-day surveillance; and this relentless stalking is against the law. She noted it is a criminal act, whether committed by a few or by many; these people continue to do this with impunity; she is 66 years old; and this crime carries even more severe penalties due to her senior citizen status. She stated her house has been broken into and continues to be illegally entered when she leaves home; no one has ever been charged with these crimes; and inquired when is it going to stop. Ms. Thomas stated persons with integrity, intelligence and intrepidity need to investigate this situation; it is time to end this outrage; and inquired where does a citizen go for justice when law enforcement does not enforce the law.

Commissioner Ellis stated perhaps Ms. Thomas can try to go through the Sheriff’s Office or Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE); and inquired where does someone go to find out if there is a law enforcement agency doing this.

County Attorney Scott Knox stated Ms. Thomas might be well served to see a private attorney also as there may be a violation of law that goes beyond criminal, and there may be civil liability. County Manager Tom Jenkins suggested the State Attorney’s Office or FDLE as the two superior agencies, particularly if something criminal has been done.

Chairman Cook requested the County Manager review it and staff contact Ms. Thomas on who she should talk to, and assist her in making those contacts.

PUBLIC HEARING, RE: AMENDING SIGN ORDINANCE

Chairman Cook called for the public hearing to consider an ordinance amending the Sign Ordinance.

Commissioner O’Brien stated a lot of people did not know the ordinance would be heard today; the public has not had a chance to review it; and perhaps the Board needs to continue the public hearing. Commissioner Ellis stated the Board can hear public comment today and then continue the public hearing for two weeks.

B. B. Nelson, 3535 Hammock Trail, Melbourne, stated Page 1 talks about penalties for moving signs; it says, “If sign is not removed by the sign owner within the prescribed time, the County shall remove the sign without further notice”; that is not proper as the owner may not have been properly notified; and it needs to be looked into further. He noted Page 2 refers to right-of-way; there is a big discrepancy on surveying the exact location of right-of-way; and there is a lot of leeway on whether a sign is in the right-of-way. He stated there is also reference in Paragraph 4 to not notifying the lessee and only the land owner; and there needs to be further investigation. He noted the ordinance indicates that the County has the right to lien the property if an individual does not move the sign; and that is getting serious. He noted Page 6 pertains to permitted uses in GU, AU, AGR, and PA zoning if designated as industrial land use in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan; that only pertains to one piece of land in the County which is the Duda property; and there should be other places for billboards, not just BU-1, BU-2 and IU. Mr. Nelson stated where the County is requiring fees for signs, billboards and permits, he would suggest including newspaper racks; Page 22 refers to changeable copies; it says no more than 90% of the sign surface may have a permanent free standing changeable; and that is interesting. He noted Pages 25 and 26 pertains to real estate signs; he is concerned about it; and it is not clear to him what the County is trying to do with such signs. He stated there is a law on the books pertaining to political signs; no political signs shall be installed more than 35 days before the election; and he was told that the Board instructed staff not to enforce such law.

Commissioner Ellis stated it was done by the County Commission four years ago; it is still held in abeyance; and the Commission was sued and saw where they were going on the lawsuit.

County Attorney Scott Knox stated the federal appellate courts have held that the kind of provision the County is dealing with of the 35-day restriction is invalid prior restrain on free speech.

Commissioner Scarborough stated perhaps the County Attorney can prepare a memorandum for the Commissioners to make available for the public.

Bob Wille, 2800 Aurora Road, Melbourne, representing the Homebuilders Association, stated the Association felt comfortable with the recommendations of the Local Planning Agency (LPA); the Association’s concern is the use of real estate and open house signs in rights-of-way and off-premises; the County Attorney’s office has recommended no signs in the County rights-of-way; and that is going too far.

Attorney Knox stated under the law as it is being interpreted by the Supreme Court, the County cannot tell people they cannot put signs in the right-of-way for some purposes but they can for other reasons; it can either let them all in or keep them all out; his recommendation was to keep them all out; and it is the Board’s decision if it wants to put all of them in.

Commissioner Ellis stated the County could allow them all with the same restrictions for size, height, and length of time; and it would address the problem for an open house.

Jackie Gregory, 1830 Robin Hood Avenue, Titusville, Chairman of North Brevard Beautification Commission, presented pictures to the Board and provided a copy of an Ordinance from City of Port Orange in Volusia County. She noted such Ordinance is a good one; the pictures show what can be done; and recommended the Board review the information provided.

Discussion ensued on real estate, open house, temporary, political, and off-premise directional signs, signs in the right-of-way, setbacks from property lines, sign restrictions, and fee structure.

Commissioner Ellis stated he would like to see the use of right-of-way allowed with a height size and time restriction.

Chairman Cook and Commissioner O’Brien expressed concern about increasing the size of billboards.

Commissioner O’Brien stated the language needs to be reviewed and more clearly defined on Page 2, Paragraph 6 and Page 1, Subparagraph B; Page 13 refers to the sign shop reviewing applications for approval; and it should read “the County Manager or his designee.” He noted Page 19 includes the list of scenic roadways where signage should not be permitted; and suggested areas from Mustang Way to Pineda Causeway on Courtenay Parkway, A1A from Cocoa Beach to Patrick Air Force Base, and A1A from Cape Canaveral to Cocoa Beach be added to the list.

Chairman Cook stated Commissioner O’Brien is referring to off-premise signs.

There being no objections heard, motion was made by Commissioner Higgs, seconded by Commissioner O’Brien, to continue public hearing to consider ordinance amending the Sign Ordinance to the August 6, 1996 Board Meeting. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF PATRICIA HAYNIE AND JOSEPH MITCHELL, RE: HOLD
ABEYANCE TEMPORARILY ON EBER ROAD PRODUCE STAND

Joseph Mitchell stated he and Patricia Haynie have a produce stand; they were issued a license eight months ago; whoever issued the license was not aware of the zoning which is not for a mobile vendor’s license; they rent the property from the owner; and requested approval from the Board to keep their business there. He presented a petition to the Board signed by 44 individuals supporting the produce stand, and letters of support from the Florida Children’s Home and CETA Mission.

Motion by Commissioner Ellis, seconded by Commissioner O’Brien, to refer the item to the County Manager and hold in abeyance for 60 days Code Enforcement action to allow Patricia Haynie and Joseph E. Mitchell to come into compliance regarding their produce stand on Eber Road. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING, RE: GRANTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AD VALOREM
EXEMPTION TO ADVANCED STEEL SYSTEMS

Chairman Cook called for the public hearing to consider an ordinance granting economic development ad valorem exemption to Advanced Steel Systems.

There being no comments or objections heard, motion was made by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Scarborough, to adopt Ordinance granting an economic development ad valorem exemption to Advanced Steel Systems, specifying the items exempted; providing the expiration date of the exemption; finding that the business meets the requirements of Chapter 196.012(15) F.S.; providing for proof of eligibility for exemption; providing for an annual report by Advanced Steel Systems; and providing an effective date. Motion carried and ordered unanimously. (See page for Ordinance No. 96-32.)

PUBLIC HEARING, RE: ORDINANCE GRANTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AD VALOREM
EXEMPTION TO B & H STEEL CO.

Chairman Cook called for the public hearing to consider an ordinance granting economic development ad valorem exemption to B & H Steel Co.

Commissioner Higgs stated in the item, it says the EDC’s recommendation is not consistent with its tax abatement guidelines; the guidelines indicate the Company should receive an exemption of 50% of its County taxes for five years; however, the recommendation of the EDC is 85% for five years; and she needs to understand why that is.

Economic Development Director Greg Lugar stated Lynda Weatherman advised the Company had larger expectations; it was going to have up to twice its employment that it had listed on its application; and that was one of the rationales that it was slightly higher. He noted the EDC considered that this Company was in a combination of a new and expansion business because it currently has four employees; it is increasing it by 15 more right now; and under the category of expanding businesses, that amount would be at 85%; and that is what it recommended.

Commissioner Higgs inquired is B & H Steel Co. an existing business; with Dennis Basile, 6767 N. Wickham Road, Melbourne, responding the Company has been here for a short period of time.

Grant McCammon, 3385 Fort Sumter, Melbourne, representing B & H Steel Co., stated when the application was made, there were four employees; it is currently at eight employees; it started in a small office in an industrial park near New Haven; and it has now purchased a building in Rockledge.

There being no objections heard, motion was made by Commissioner O’Brien, seconded by Commissioner Scarborough, to adopt Ordinance granting an economic development ad valorem exemption to B & H Steel Co., specifying the items exempted; providing the expiration date of the exemption; finding that the business meets the requirements of Chapter 196.012(15) F.S.; providing for proof of eligibility for exemption; providing for an annual report by B & H Steel Co.; and providing an effective date. Motion carried and ordered unanimously. (See page for Ordinance No. 96-33.)

The meeting recessed at 2:29 p.m.

The meeting reconvened at 2:41 p.m.

DISCUSSION, RE: ACQUISITION OF BAREFOOT BAY WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM

Robert Preikschat, 604 Amaryllis Drive, Barefoot Bay, expressed his support for the review and acquisition of the Florida city water utility; stated the south part of the County needs a managed growth pattern; and wastewater is one of those areas Brevard County needs to be more involved with in the future.

Joseph Phelan, 1103 Tequesta Drive, Barefoot Bay, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Council of Barefoot Bay, stated Clinton Dyer, a member of the Council, prepared a written statement concerning the item; and presented such letter to the Board. He noted Mr. Dyer was the moving force in the Council’s presentation before the Public Service Commission (PSC); and the Council will continue to oppose the actions of the PSC and its staff recommendations concerning exorbitant increases in water and wastewater rates in Barefoot Bay. He stated the acquisition of Florida Cities Water Company at this time would be a prudent step; and urged the Board to appoint a negotiating team to meet with Florida Cities Water Company and negotiate a purchase price that will reduce rates for the residents of Barefoot Bay and bring some stability to the water and sewer costs. He noted if Florida Cities Water responds negatively, he urges the Board to move forward by condemnation.

Owen Gallagher expressed concern about increases in home insurance, cable rates, medical and dental health insurance, and water and sewer rates. Mr. Gallagher requested the Board’s support in buying out Florida Cities Water; stated the financial rate they are going through is deplorable; and water and sewer rates are almost on par with property taxes.

Walter Clyne, 605 N. Sea Gull, Barefoot Bay, stated he is concerned about the decision from the Public Service Commission (PSC) staff regarding the increase in water and sewer rates in Barefoot Bay; the Florida Cities Water Company has had six rate increases in the last four years; and it is requesting the citizens to finance a $5.9 million sewer treatment plant that is not necessary because of other alternatives. He noted he hopes the Board seriously looks into the acquisition of Florida Cities Water; and a South Brevard centralized water and sewer facility is needed.

Richard Higgins stated the people do not want more septic tanks and they want affordable water and sewer rates. He requested the Board instruct staff to modify the study so it applies in its entirety to an expanded franchise area.

John R. Smith, Sr. stated he is not happy with the Florida Cities Water Company which has raised the water and sewer rates at least six or more times over the past 10 years and which is now raising the rates as much as 150%; and the Florida Public Service Commission has allowed this rate increase. He requested the Board purchase the Florida Cities Water Company in whatever manner and cost it can to give the citizens a fair rate for the services.

Water Resources Director Richard Martens briefed the Board on what Financial Advisor Tom Holley’s financial analysis showed in terms of the rates that the citizens of Barefoot Bay pay and what the Public Service Commission has approved, how it compares, and what kind of sales price the County could sustain with the rates.

The Board discussed acquisition of the Barefoot Bay Water and Sewer System, including threat of condemnation and sale of a utility to a government agency, reduction in rates and expansion of the system, and various options.

Motion by Commissioner Higgs, seconded by Commissioner Ellis, to direct the County Attorney to prepare a letter for the Chairman’s signature requesting the Executive Vice President of Avatar Holdings to obtain clarification from the Board of Directors regarding acquisition of the Barefoot Bay Water and Sewer System; and report back to the County Commission on July 16, 1996 on how it might move into the condemnation mode on the utility. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE - BEA POLK, RE: SALE OF PUBLIC HOSPITAL

Bea Polk expressed her concerns with the North Brevard County Hospital District Board; and requested the County Commission give the people a chance to vote on whether or not they want to sell the Hospital.

Helen Smith expressed her opposition regarding the sale of Parrish Medical Center to a private company.

Derrinda Lynk advised she is opposed to the sale of Parrish Medical Center to a private company.

Lee Barnhart stated a referendum to sell Parrish Medical Center at this time by the public is totally out of sequence; the law directs that the daily and duly appointed public board of PMC has the right to make such a decision after much study and evaluation has gone into the subject; and it would be wrong for the County Commission to interfere in a duly appointed board’s governance and decision-making process.

William Hurst stated he would like to decline any comments until he has thoroughly found out what is going on here today.

Terry Murphy discussed the selling of public hospitals versus stand-alone facilities; and stated Parrish Medical Center is a very well managed, low cost provider in this area and throughout the State.

Ida Blickley expressed appreciation to the County Commission for the interest it has shown regarding Parrish Medical Center; and stated since Judge Jackson awarded her and Ms. Polk their expenses in the litigation with Rod Baker, the Administrator for Jess Parrish Hospital, it is their desire to turn the two signed checks over to the Jess Parrish Hospital Foundation.

The Board acknowledged comments from Bea Polk, Helen Smith, Derrinda Lynk, Lee Barnhart, William Hurst, Terry Murphy, and Ida Blickley concerning the sale of Parrish Medical Center, but took no official action on the item.

DISCUSSION, RE: SPRINKLER AND ALARM REQUIREMENTS

Buddy Dewar encouraged the Board to approve the two recommendations from the Building and Construction Advisory Committee, including a balance between hiring firefighters, building fire stations, purchasing fire trucks, and having comprehensive construction codes.

The Board discussed sprinkler systems and changing the current Ordinance.

Motion by Commissioner Higgs, seconded by Commissioner Ellis, to direct staff to advertise for public hearing an amendment to the Ordinance to include sprinkler and alarm requirements, work on a cooperative study in conjunction with the cities, and come back to the Board with recommendations on the Comprehensive Fire Management Plan. Motion carried and ordered; Commissioner O’Brien voted nay.

AGREEMENT WITH SQUIRE, SANDERS & DEMPSEY, RE: BOND COUNSEL SERVICES

DISCUSSION, RE: CLOSING OF CLERK’S MELBOURNE OFFICE

Motion by Commissioner Higgs, seconded by Commissioner Ellis, to authorize the Chairman to send a letter to Sandy Crawford, Clerk of the Circuit and County Courts, requesting a response on how many of the 15 employee positions budgeted were filled, and what happened to the difference in the funds. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

The Board directed the County Manager to report back to the Board with a concept whereby it can monitor the Constitutional Officers’ budgets, including where monies have actually been spent.

The meeting recessed at 4:34 p.m.

The meeting reconvened at 4:54 p.m.
