COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 25, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Formal Approval of Employee Group Health, Dental and Vision
Insurance Policies for the Year Beginning October 1, 2021.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Extension of Employee Group Insurance Policies.
BACKGROUND:
The City's Insurance Broker, the Gehring Group, will present information supporting renewal of
our current providers of employee group insurance policies under the Presentation section of
this agenda. This follows negotiations conducted with the current insurance companies on the
costs of renewal premiums.
The recommendation is for approval to renew the current policies with the Florida Blue Options
Program for Health Insurance and with Humana for Dental and Vision. There is a 4.5% increase
in premiums for Health Insurance, which is the majority of the costs. The City and Employees
will see an increase in the Health Insurance Premiums. There is no increase to premiums for
Dental and Vision insurance. The Life Insurance premium is increasing by 5.8%. Them is a
$49,481 increase from last year's combined annual premium.
Staff is pleased with amount of premiums for the renewals and recommends approval.
IF AGENDA ITEM REQUIRES EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS:
Total Cost to the City is $1,637,935
Appropriation Required: None, this is within amounts provided in the Draft 2022 Annual Budget.

HOMEOFPELICAN ISLAND CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TRANSMITTAL FORM
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 25, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Presentation of Draft FY 2021-22 Budget and Capital Program
RECOMMENDATION: Discuss Any Concerns in Advance of the Formal Public Hearings.
BACKGROUND: City Council was provided a briefing on the General Fund Budget at
the July 28, 2021 Meeting. Staff recommended and City Council approved setting the proposed
millage at 3.1514. At this time, the City Council will be updated on changes to the General Fund
budget and briefed on the budgets for Other Funds and the Capital Improvement Program.
The Draft General Fund Budget is balanced with the rolled -back rate
of 3.0043. Further negotiations on employee group insurance resulted in a lower premium increase
but the main reason we are able to balance is a large increase in State Revenue Sharing payments
based on projections recently provided by the State. A contingency for wage increases is included
and dependent on the results of negotiations that are not yet finalized.
Funding for road reconstruction/repair is being deferred pending an
update to the Road Assessment Study and to allow time for the associated stormwater work to be
achieved. Discretionary sales taxes are applied to computer upgrades and police vehicles, plus major
capital items, including the Public Works Compound, slip lining/pipe replacements, matching funds for
a canal restoration grant and square hangars at the Airport. The Riverfront CRA Fund continues to
fund special events, sign grants and payment of about half the landscaping contract. CRA funds will
also be used toward the Harrison Street Park Plaza. Recreation Impact Fees are used for park
amenities and improvements. The Stormwater Utility Fund covers adding two employees, replacing
equipment, work associated with roadway improvements, the balance of the landscaping contract. and
matching funds for a grant for work on the Concha Dam.
Golf Course projected expenses exceed revenues by $18,709 due to
necessary capital expenses. Expenses include the amortized annual loan repayment to the Building
Fund and a payment on the General Fund loans. The Airport and Building Budgets are balanced. The
Airport Fund includes the amortized annual repayment of the loans from the Discretionary Sales Tax
Fund. The Building Fund is budgeting for contractual assistance with building inspections to help with
that workload and for modifications to the front counter.
The Budget Review Advisory Committee approved the rolled -back
millage, the Draft Budget and the Capital Improvement Program. The Parks and Recreation
Committee supported the budgeted uses of Recreation Impact Fees and the Capital Improvement
Plan is being presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission on August 19th. We hope the City
Council will discuss any concerns or pose any questions in advance of the formal public hearings
scheduled as Special Meetings on September 20th and September 29=h. A vote on the budget
recommendation is not necessary at this meeting.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 25, 2021
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Review and consider Resolution No. R-21-16 for the proposed
Children's Trust of Indian River County.
RECOMMENDATION: City Council adopt Resolution R-21-16
BACKGROUND: On April 29, 2021, Indian River County Board of County
Commissioners determined that the most practicable method by which to dedicate the Children's
Trust millage would be to establish a special dependent district. In order to establish a special
district countywide, per section 125.01(5) (a), Florida Statutes, the special district would be subject
to the approval of the governing body of the incorporated area affected. Thus, the City of Sebastian
City Council would need to approve the special district by resolution in order to have the millage
rate applicable in the incorporated areas of the City of Sebastian, if approved by referendum. On
July 28, 2021, City Council provided staff direction to proceed with the drafting of the resolution for
final consideration by the council of the proposed Children's Trust of Indian River County.

(2) The board of county commissioners shall be the governing body of any municipal service taxing or
benefit unit created pursuant to paragraph (1)(q).

(4) The legislative and governing body of a county shall not have the power to regulate the taking or
possession of saltwater fish, as defined in s. 379.101, with respect to the method of taking, size,
number, season, or species. However, this subsection does not prohibit a county from prohibiting, for
reasons of protecting the public health, safety, or welfare, saltwater fishing from real property owned by
that county, nor does it prohibit the imposition of excise taxes by county ordinance.
(5)(a) To an extent not inconsistent with general or special law, the governing body of a county shall
have the power to establish, and subsequently merge or abolish those created hereunder, special
districts to include both incorporated and unincorporated areas subject to the approval of the
governing body of the incorporated area affected, within which may be provided municipal services
and facilities from funds derived from service charges, special assessments, or taxes within such district
only. Such ordinance may be subsequently amended by the same procedure as the original enactment.
(b) The governing body of such special district shall be composed of county commissioners and may
include elected officials of the governing body of an incorporated area included in the boundaries of the
special district, with the basis of apportionment being set forth in the ordinance creating the special
district.
(c) It is declared to be the intent of the Legislature that this subsection is the authorization for the levy
by a special district of any millage designated in the ordinance creating such a special district or
amendment thereto and approved by vote of the electors under the authority of the first sentence of s.
52 of 67
9(b), Art. VII of the State Constitution. It is the further intent of the Legislature that a special district
created under this subsection include both unincorporated and incorporated areas of a county and that
such special district may not be used to provide services in the unincorporated area only.
(6)(a) The governing body of a municipality or municipalities by resolution, or the citizens of a
municipality or county by petition of 10 percent of the qualified electors of such unit, may identify a
service or program rendered specially for the benefit of the property or residents in unincorporated
areas and financed from countywide revenues and petition the board of county commissioners to
develop an appropriate mechanism to finance such activity for the ensuing fiscal year, which may be by
taxes, special assessments, or service charges levied or imposed solely upon residents or property in the
unincorporated area, by the establishment of a municipal service taxing or benefit unit pursuant to
paragraph (1)(q), or by remitting the identified cost of service paid from revenues required to be
expended on a countywide basis to the municipality or municipalities, within 6 months of the adoption
of the county budget, in the proportion that the amount of county ad valorem taxes collected within
such municipality or municipalities bears to the total amount of countywide ad valorem taxes collected
by the county, or by any other method prescribed by state law.
(b) The hoard of county commissioners shall, within 90 days, file a response to such petition, which
response shall either reflect action to develop appropriate mechanisms or shall reject such petition and
state findings of fact demonstrating that the service does not specially benefit the property or residents
of the unincorporated areas.
(7) No county revenues, except those derived specifically from or on behalf of a municipal service
taxing unit, special district, unincorporated area, service area, or program area, shall be used to fund any
service or project provided by the county when no real and substantial benefit accrues to the property
or residents within a municipality or municipalities.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TRANSMITTAL
Council Meetina Date: August 25, 2021
Aaenda Item Title: Approve Continuing Engineering Services from Kimley-Horn and Associates,
Inc. (KHA) for baseline survey of the Riverview Park Event Complex
Recommendation: The Community Development and Leisure Services Department recommend
approval of the KHA Consultant Services Agreement (CSA) #2.
Backaround: Riverview Park and the entire Riverfront Event Complex is an important
economic and community feature to the City of Sebastian. For many years the community has expressed
concern regarding preservation of the tree canopy within Riverview Park. Funding has been budgeted for
assessment and improvements to Riverview Park for the preservation of this canopy and the best utilization of
the entire Riverfront Event Complex. After careful study of this area, including an assessment of the tree
canopy and sidewalk improvements, staff has determined that a baseline survey of the complex should be
pursued in order to determine the best utilization of the entire area in order to alleviate future impacts to the
canopy including drainage, parking, and event layout.
Staff recommends consideration of the attached proposal from KHA, one of the City's continuing Services
engineers.

Florida Statute 260.011 Government in the Sunshine
Florida Statute 286.011 requires all government business be conducted in the Sunshine for the public to
have the opportunity to participate and have a voice in the process. This year we have seen the most
egregious violation of the Sunshine law in State history. The newly elected Council Member held a coup
to overthrow the city government outside of the Sunshine. They locked the doors to the city Council
Chambers and conducted a meeting without any charter officers present, no public participation was
allowed and voted to terminate all charter officers and to remove the Mayor and appoint one of them
as the Mayor. The challenge that this is only treated as a misdemeanor by F.S. 260.011. As it stands the
current penalties allowed under the Statute would never deter this from happening again.
The courts and the Commission on Ethics have been very complacent on fines for violations of the
Sunshine law. This has to be addressed. Either there is a Statue that protects the public from acts such
as this or not. Providing for a $250.00 fine for this type of violation is just not sufficient to deter this type
of behavior. The Legislator's should address this and make the penalties much more substantial and in
cases where it is a planned event or premediated it should rise to a felony.
Vacation Rentals
The City of Sebastian OPPOSES any legislation that would further remove the local government's ability
to regulate housing and short term rentals. The current legislation allows local governments to regulate
short-term rentals but only for life safety and building codes, as well as other codes specific to vacation

rentals. However, local governments are still prohibited from regulating the du -ration and frequency of
these rentals.
The City of Sebastian SUPPORTS amending legislation that will return home rule over short-term
(vacation) rentals entirely back to municipalities, particularly including the ability to limit the duration of
rentals.
Attainable/Affordable Housing
As in 2005/06 this issue was forefront in the minds of all local governments. Now in 2020 we again have
seen a dramatic increase in the cost of home ownership and rentals.
The City of Sebastian SUPPORTS Indian River County's position on funding;
Position:
Indian River County BCC SUPPORTS allocating the full amount of dedicated documentary tax revenues
for state and local affordable housing programs; SUPPORTS investing in affordable housing to create
jobs in home repair, hardening homes, retrofitting and constructing affordable rental units, and
lowering the energy costs to make housing more affordable; and SUPPORTS exempting the State
Housing Trust Fund and the Local Government Housing Trust Fund from a provision authorizing the
Legislature, in the General Appropriations Act, to transfer unappropriated cash balances from
specified trust funds to the Budget Stabilization Fund and General Revenue Fund, etc.
School Resource Officers
The City of Sebastian, due to the State mandate to have School Resource Officers at each of our local
schools requires general fund revenues to cover costs associated with the legislative mandate. Some
financial support is provided from by the Schools but this only covers a portion of the additional
expenditures. The City of Sebastian has concerns that our taxpayers who pay taxes for City services and
these funds are being used in support of a different governmental body. The City would SUPPORT
legislation to fund the schools for this requirement and alleviate the burden on our budget to furnish
these Police Officers.
Sea Level Rise
Recognizing the impacts sustained by cities statewide related to sea -level rise, changing precipitation
patterns and increasing storm severity, the City of Sebastian SUPPORTS legislation that encourages
vulnerability assessments, coordinates resources and supports the efforts of local governments to
mitigate and adapt to these dynamic environmental conditions.

Unfunded Mandates
The City of Sebastian OPPOSES any legislation that is not funded or requires a local government to fund
through ad -valorem taxes or assessments.
Protection of Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAB)
The City of Sebastian has used the CRA funding to successfully improve the designated area and have
the desired result of increasing the taxable values of those properties. We also note that improving the
commercial enterprises can be expected to have the added advantage of increasing sales tax collections.
The City would strongly SUPPORT legislation to protect our use of the CRA funding method and continue
these efforts to revitalize the area.
The City of Sebastian OPPOSES any legislation that would allow a County to have additional oversite of a
municipalities CRA. And we are Opposed to removing current CRA districts.
