Indian River County upon termination of the Lake Dolores

granted by the City of Sebastian to Indian River County.
It is further my opinion, that the City Council could

system in a negative way and would be something that the present
customers within [he Lake Delore~ system could itve with. The
total potential build-out of the mobile home park is 6~0 units,
but there are.only 100 units at present. State statute requires
us to go through variou~ steps to analy~e the value and the
assets of a utility and what it would do to our system if we
purchase it and bring it into our system.
Director Pinto emphasized that because of Its ~,2[~, the
acquisition of this utility
Commissioner ScurJock asked how our purchase price compares
to the original cost, and Director Pinto'explained that the
maximum value of $777,000 doesn't mean that Mr. Hyatt is going to
be paid that much. The purchase price is based on a surcharge of
$10.00 per unit over a maximu~ of 10'years. This means that the
owner would get only $10.00 for every unit that is in place at
the end of that 10-year period. We projected out what we thought
wa~ a fairly liberal build-out schedule for the park,, and even
with that, tl~e maximum purchase price would be around $600,000.
However, if it did build out quicker, he would be allowed a
maximum price of $777,000, but we doubt very much if that would'
take place, in any event, the total price would not exceed
$777,000, and in all probability, it would be lower than that.

was concerned abou~-'~e ~;~nt~ ~i'~ a
,
another but Commissioner Scurlock
emphas,ized that no ptJblic funds are being used to acquire any of
t systems. He pointed out that some of these franchises were
approved way back when, whereas current franchises do not allow
for this to happen. In fact, the existing franchises that we
approve entertain all the acquisition provisions and all the
renewal/replacement, and require all those~to be in
place. He wanted to make it clear on the record that Indian
River County does not allow franchises to be issued today tO
leave all those deficiencies as a possibility.
Director Pinto pointed out that we have come a long way in
getting rid of these little franchises. We had about 130
facilities at one time, and now we are down to less than 60. In
fact, he would recommend that we not issue any more franchises.
/ it made clear in the agreement that
after we buy the system any expansion of that system that is done
to accommodate those other approximately 600 lots will be done at
the developer's expense and not at the expense of the County
Utility Services Division.
Attorney Vitunac advised that it is automatically covered by
our standard policy. It will be a county facility, and if
somebody wants to add customers to it, they would have to do the
line extension themselves.
~i~asked how it would affect this agreement,
if that policy was changed in a year or so, and Attorney Vitunac
explained that if a developer wants future connections, he will
have to come in with a developer's agreement. It will be a
developer connecting to a county utility, a~d it will be done in
a standard way.
felt that the Commissioners don't want
the residents to become upset when they read in the paper that
31
the County Corffnissioners paid $777,00 for a little system with
only 80 units on it. He asked Attorney Vitunac if'there is
anything we could include in the agreement that would give
Con~nissioner Bird a little more comfort, and Attorney Vitunac
advised that you can emphasize that not one dollar of public
funds is being spent to buy this system. We are taking over
their s~ August 1, 1989,
pay back to them for 10 years.
Director Pinto didn't want to reopen the negotiations on the
agreement and have to go back and get Nelson Hyatt's signature
again. If there could be an addendum, that would be fine.
~~~tated he was convinced after talking with
Director Pinto ~~~l~and hearing all of this
in-depth
dialogue today re impact fees, future connections, etc., that the
acquisition is basically a ~~ for the County Utility
Division and that he would vote to approve the agreement.
Commissioner Bowman asked why the surcharge is to be in
effect for no more than 10 years, and Director Pinto explained
that we don't want them to receive more than what we think the
value of the system is.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved
the purchase agreement at a price not to exceed
$777,000 with the understanding that it is the
developer's responsibility for any expansion of pipe
lines within that system.

From experience, I can say it is very important to have someone
frc~ the Finance Department on the Board. It ensures the timely
flow of contributions to the Fund and the correct bookkeeping.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
At its Regular Workshop Meeting on 02/06/91, the City Council
reviewed the status of negotiations with General Development
Corporation ("GDC"). Since GDC's bankruptcy filing on April 6,
1990, GDC has breached its responsibilities and obligations..
under a contract between the City and GDC signed in 1979. I
believe it to be in the best interest of the City to attempt to
reach a written agreement with GDC, which would relieve GDC of-
its obligations and responsibilities of the 1979 agreement. Any
such agreement would first be approved by the City and GDC and
then submitted to a federal bankruptcy court for approval. In
the event the City and GDC fail to reach an agreement and should
the GDC bankruptcy revert from Chapter 11 (reorganization) to
Chapter 7 (no assets - liquidation) the City may find itself in a
precarious situation. The City of'Sebastian, like all other GDC
"Communities" is an unsecured creditor and as such has a lower
priority than other GDC creditors. Should GDC's assets,
including the property which houses drainage structures, be
liquidated and sold at auction or by other means, the City in the
future may need to acquire the 131 parcels of land in question at
fair market value at the time of acquisition. Without a contract
and should GDC be dissolved and its assets distributed to its
creditors, the City could argue that it is not legally
responsible to maintain "private" structures. However, I believe
the property owners of Unit 16 and 17 would argue that they
deserve the same level of services as taxpayers in Units I -15.
Additionally, since GDC would have no "successor" certain
drainage easements may revert back to the original grantors.
Further, the City, by default, may end up maintaining drainage
structures or street improvements within dedicated rights-of-way
simply because there would be nowhere else for the property
owners and residents to turn to. These "improvements" were
constructed, in most cases, in rights-of-way dedicated to the
public yet not accepted by the City for perpetual maintenance.
At the Workshop Meeting of 02/06/91, there was concern expressed
over a potential loss of tax revenues on property the City may
wish to acquire from GDC as a part of any agreement. I have
revised the exhibits attached to my previous report and include
them for your information and consideration. On Exhibit "A",
which I consider to be "Essential Contract Elements", I have
calculated a value of the properties which i believe the City
must have if we are to maintain certain street and drainage
structures. I have used the same values as I have for the GDC
list of assets. For residential building lots, I have assigned a
Value of $8,000. For "Park" property, I have assigned a value of
$14,000 per acre and for "Commercial" property, I have assigned a
value of $50,000 per acre. Using this formula, the total value
of the "Essential Contract Elements" amounts to $1,317,560.
I have also copied the GDC liability summary from Exhibit "B",
which amounts to $4,460,200.
Also, attached is a revision of Exhibit "C" which consists of a
list of assets the City may wish to acquire. The total value,
excluding the extension of "Fleming Street", is $3,674,000. The
total city property tax of these parcels is $8,211.93.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Review the City's position with respect to GDC and its
responsibilities and obligations within the City.

2. Lindahl, Browning, Ferrari & Hellstrom, Inc.
3. Peterson & Votapka, Inc.
The committee felt that Masteller, Moler & Mayfield Associates, Inc.,
presented the most comprehensive proposal and had the best
understanding of the project of any of the three (3) firms. Stan
Mayfield, P.E., will be the principal in charge of the project. As
outlined in the proposal, Mr. Mayfield has extensive experience
including employment with the City of Jacksonville, FL. The projects
will include an extensive amount of surveying and Rod Reed, RLS, has
extensive surveying experience in both the Louisiana Avenue area as
well as the Schumann Drive area. ~f 0~ /
It was apparent that the firm did a considerable amount of research in
preparing their proposal, including an analysis of the City's
Comprehensive Plan, inspection of the sites, a review of the proposed
twin pair improvement of CR 512, and a review of the storm water
permitting requirements of St. John's River Water Management District.
Additionally, they outlined a detailed public relations program for
both projects and, for the Louisiana Avenue project recommended that
the engineering evaluation include sidewalks.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to approve the rank ordering of the engineering consultants for
the Louisiana Avenue project and the Schumann Drainage project and
direct staff to begin contract negotiations with the number one ranked
firm, Masteller, Moler & Mayfield Associates, Inc.

SUM~RY STATEMENT
Currently, a storm sewer outfall culvert and ditch crosses city
owned property adjacent to Riverview Park. These drainage
structures transmit storm sewer water from the drainage area
consisting of Riverview Park and adjoining streets. The
discharge is directly into the Indian River Lagoon.
Coincidentally, the City has recently cleared an area
Riverview Park at the northeast corner by removing Australian
Pine trees which were killed by the freeze of December, 1989. It
may be possible to utilize this area as a storm water management'
area to prohibit the direct flow of storm water into the indian
River Iagoon. Further, the Parks and Recreation Committee is
recommending that the children's playground behind the old
Library building at Main and Indian River Drive be relocated and
expanded to the northeast corner of Riverview Park. It may be
possible for this area of the park to contain storm water
management improvements as well as a children's playground. In
order to move ahead with an analysis and proper permitting,
certain engineering must be done to calculate the storm water
retention requirements, design the necessary drainage
improvements and complete an application to the St. John's River
Water Management District. Concurrently, staff would make every
effort to identify possible grant funding (with the help of the
Watershed Action Committee) to construct the actual improvements.
Mosby & Associates, Inc., has had a continuing engineering
consulting relationship with the City for many years and is well
qualified to do this work.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
The current Capital Projects Budget allocates $4,000 for
improvements to Riverview Park on the property between Indian
River Drive and the Indian River adjacent to Riverview Park. This
tract is commonly referred to as the Stevenson park tract since
much of the property was donated by former Mayor and Mrs. Paul
Stevenson. We have recently ordered a monument honoring Mr. &
Mrs. Stevenson for their generous donation. We have asked Randy
L. Mosby to design improvements which would be appropriate with
this area and its use as a passive park while at the same time
complementing efforts of the Riverfront Committee. Therefore, we
ask City Council to review the site plan but to defer any
approval pending ~a review by the Riverfront Committee. Since
indian River Drive is a County maintained road, we may need to
obtain their permission .for this work. At this time, we are
requesting the City Council to review the concept of the proposed
site plan.
REcoMMENDED
Review proposed site plan for the Stevenson park tract of
Riverview Park and, if appropriate, request the Riverfront
Committee to review and comment on the proposal.

ARTICLE II
Impact Fees
SECTION 2.01 Impact Fee, Exp~nsion Policy. This section establishes
procedures to facilitate the orderly expansion of the System by the County and
provides alternates for funding such expansion by those specifically benefitting
thereby, by imposing a user charge which is reasonably calculated to offset a
portion of the capital cost of the anticipated new demand on the System. The
remaining capital cost shall be recouped through monthly charges.
Certain necessary Improvements will have to be undertaken in order to
provide a System to meet the needs of a large influx of new residents,
industrial and business establishments anticipated to occur in future years. In
order to finance these improvements, several combined methods of financing will
be necessary, one of which is an Impact Fee.
An Impact Fee is hereby imposed in order to offset the cost to the
County of the necessar~ expansion of its System. The amount of Impact Fees have
been established on the recommehdation of the County's rate consultants.
SECTION 2.02 Impact Fee Imposed. There is hereby imposed an Impact
Fee in the Franchise Territory according to the following schedule, based on the
equitable portion of the coat to the County of financing the extension of the
System on each Equivalent Residential Unit responsible for creating the need for
additional system expansion. The obligation to pay the Impact Fee shall occur
at the earliest of the following dates:
- 3 -
Vhen the capacity is'reserved, when a water or sewer per~tt ts
granted, when a building permit is issued or when any connection to the Systsm
ts made.
~ater Service ............. $1,140.O0/ERU
Sever Service ............... $1,250.O0/ERU
If a building permit is issued for an existing non-residential,
commercial or industrial connection which will increase demand on the System or
if a building changes from residential to non-residential occupancy, the total
number of Equivalent Residential Units for the old and new parts of the facility
will be computed according to the definition of Equivalent Residential Units and
I~pact Fees shall be assessed on the difference.
SECTION 2.03 Escalation of Impact Fees. The basis for the Impact
Fees imposed has been structured with respect to two major but variable factors.
First, the present level of construction cost of Improvements. Second, the
theory of treatment facilities and their relative degree of treatment system
sophistication as prescribed by the Florida Department of Health and
Rehabilitative Services and the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation.
The foregoing schedule of Impact Fees shall automatically escalate
based upon increases in utility construction index published in the Engineering
News Record magazine (~NR) (if ENR goes out of business, an equivalent index
will be used). The City shall automatically adjust the Impact Fees set forth
herein semi-annually with the first such adjustment to be not earlier than
December 31, 1987. The automatic escalation shall not exceed the percentage
difference between said construction cost index for the base period as compared
with the period in review.
SECTION 2.04 Escalation of plant cspacit~....fe.~. Separate and apart
from the automatic escalation provisions set forth above, the Utility Department
of the County may file with the Council a higher or lower Impact Fee schedule,
and in support of that schedule, detail the reasons requiring such increased
fees. Such reasons may include and be related to increasing standards of
service; inadequate or incorrect estimates of the total anticipated fees versus
the actual investment levels required by the County for the System; actual
experience with regard to matters of service area density having a direct
bearing upon Assessments received versus the cost of construction of
Improvements; matters of net investment bearing upon rates and charges required
of consumers and/or such other matters which may reasonably bear upon the needs,
necessities or consideration requiring such change.
SECTION 2.05 Use of proceeds. The proceeds accumulated by reason of
the establishment of the Impact Fees can be used only for capital expenditures
for the expansion of the County's System. The funds may be used for extending,
oversizing, asps-sting or constructing new additions to the treatment plant or
collection and interceptor systems of the System so as to meet the increased
demand which additional connections to the System create. Said proceeds may not
he used for i~proving, updating or bringing the System into compliance with any
change in law or other events which would other wise require such improving,
updating or bringing the System into compliance. "~
SECTION, 2..06~ P~_=a.~nents. All Impact Fees paid to the Cifi~ shall be,
upon receipt, paid immediately to the County for deposit into Impact Fee trust
fund(s) established by the County and shall be used by the County only for
purposes of the expansion of the System.
Any funds on deposit in such trust fund(s) which are not immediately
necessary for the expansion of the System may be invested in the manner provided
by law for the investment of surplus County funds. All interest earned on
-5-
invested funds in the respective trust fund shai1 bear the same restrictions on
expenditure ss those funds which created the interest.
ARTICLE III

Each water and sewer c~st0'i~er's i~'pa~'t fees and base facility charge shall be
established on the basis.of,tile.number of equivalent residential units (ERUs) of
service required'by each cus~°mer. The following chart shows the basis for
calculating each'~bustomer'ts'minimum number of ERUs.
In cases where a '~fi~tomer's property use extends to more than one category listed
below, the number of ERUs shall be calculated as the sum of the number of ERUs
associated with each type of property use and its respective square footage or other
basis used for calculating the number of ERUs. Where the calculated number of
ERUs is a fraction, the calculated number shall be rounded up to the next highest
whole number to calculate the number of assigned ERUs.

Such excess volume use may be prohibited by the department if additional necessary
capacity is not available.
F. Excess Sewage Strength Charge. All sewage discharged into the
sanitary sewer system which has an average concentration of biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD5) of 250 milligrams per liter (rog/l) or greater or an average

concentration of suspended solids of 250 mg/l or greater shall be subject to an
excessive strength charge. The amount of the excessive strength charge shall be equal
to the customer's standard base facilities and volume charges multiplied by the
greater of either of two factors: the amount of the customer's average concentration
of BOD5 in mg/l dMded by 250, minus 1; or the amount of the customer's average
concentration of suspended solids in mg/l divided by 250, minus 1. Any customer may
sample its sewage and have it analyzed by an analytical 'laboratory approved by the
Florida Department of Environmental Regulation. The Department may sample and
conduct analysis of the sewage produced by any customer to determine sewage
strength. Where such analysis demonstrates that the customer's sewage strength
exceeds the standards given above, the customer will~be subject to the Excessive

transmission lines;fle:..Wage collection lines, sewage force mains and/or pumping
stations from the-'-d~veloper's property to facilities of the County adeqUate in size to
convey flows between the developer's property and County's facilities. It is the
County's policy to expand its water and sewer system in an orderly, economical
manner, and in those cases in which the County would not normally be expanding its
system to serve a developer's project at that time and such an extension requires an
expenditure by the County for transmission facilities for which the County incurs
extraordinary costs, then such developer shall be required to construct or pay the cost
dbt075/040.51 21
of the facilities associated with serving his project, In this event, the County shall
negotiate an agreement with the developer requesting service setting forth the
developer's responsibility for 'off-site facilities and the County's responsibility for
requiring such facilities to be oversized to meet future demands. In addition to and
in lieu of direct funding of conveyance facility construction by the developer, the
County may require a refundable advance by the developer to further temporarily
defray the cost of any extension of water and/or sewer mains and pumping stations
necessary to connect the developer's property with the then terminus of the County's
water and sewer facilities. This provision recognizes instances in which a developer
may be required to advance funds to construct facilities sized in accordance with the
County's Master Plan. All amounts expended by tt~.~-".-'~veloper pursuant to such an
