A. Boys & Girls Club of Indian River County - Location Ideas for a .Sebastian Facility
The City Manager briefly updated City Council on the proposed long term lease agreement and
location for the Sebastian Boys and Girls Club at a rarely used practice field at Barber Street
Sports Complex and introduced Kenneth Felten, Lisa Smith-Fulton and Beverly O'Neal.
The Parks Superintendent further described and exhibited the location on a map for City
Council; and discussion followed as to the current parking problem and possible solutions;
possibility of use of other city sites; the need for this type of facility in the city; and concern that
there be sufficient space for the proposed facility to meet future population needs.
Mr. Felten stated that a membership fee would be required for use of the facility at a cost of $5
during the school year and a $35 summer fee, and responded that parking is rarely a problem
since the club's users do not drive. Lisa Smith-Fulton then briefly described the programs
offered. Mr. Felten said his goal was to build a 30,000 square facility at some point.
The City Manager said a proposed lease that addressed Council concerns will be brought

was there when the donation happened and the donor did not offer a location
suggestion as stated in the letter to the editor.

input when this is not the case. The Mayor assured the audience that the location has
not been decided and there will be a public meeting.

SEBASTIAN STORMWATER UTILITY PRESENTATION
A. Where We Are and Where We're Going - Rich Strincler, City Attornev
The City Attorney explained the Stormwater Utility process, citing the need based on the poor
condition of the adopted GDC swale system and increased costs for maintenance, and
forthcoming federal and state mandates with regards to limiting sediment runoff into waterways
which will require improvements to the City's drainage system. He said state agencies will be
requiring dedicated funding sources for grants related to such improvement projects, and the
stormwater utility system is gaining more and more acceptance and is a bondable revenue
source.

B. Establishina a Stormwater Utility - Stephen R. Sedeewick, PE,. Ca~mp, Dresser and .M..cKe-
TAPE I - SIDE II (7:47 p.m.)
Mr. Sedgewick gave a presentation on establishing a stormwater utility including the ERU analysis
for the 9600 building units in the City, establishment of a stormwater utility database to interact
with the Indian River County Property Appraiser's office, public information program and
implementation. He introduced his associate, Edc Grotke. A copy of Mr. Sedgewick's
presentation is available in City Hall and includes all facts and figures presented.
Mr. Sedgewick and staff members then responded to questions from Council relative to the
method used to determine the ERU, the fact that non-residential ERU's will be determined on an
individual basis, that there will be an item on the June 27th agenda relative to the master planning
process, that the ERU charge will be charged to the property owner, that March 10, 2003 is the
EPA deadline to receive applications from cities but that the State of Florida could come down
with more stringent deadlines, and that it would not be cost efficient for people to try to reduce
their impervious surface.
C. Financial Implications -...Mark Mason, Finan.cp..Director
The Finance Director cited the possible sunset of the 1 cent local option sales tax in 2004, a
source of revenue that has funded many drainage programs in the City; mandates of the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan adopted in 1997 for the City to spend $31 million for stormwater
over the next ten years; the current annual cost of $856,000 for stormwater maintenance
programs; uses of the stormwater utility revenues for capital improvements and maintenance; the
proposed annual cost of $48 per ERU (equivalent residential unit), and the use of the
approximately $429,000 in annual revenues from the utility, $375,000 of which could be a
bondable revenue source for capital improvements mandates, and the remainder for
maintenance.
The City Attorney said he had advised staff that in the first year, those revenues should not be
encumbered or spent until it is shown that the program will fly.
D. The Bi.q Picture - Bdn~inq It All Toaether_.-...T. errence Moore, Cib/Manaaer
The City Manager discussed the use of the stormwater utility process, a very successful and well
received tool in the State of Flodda, and briefly described past stormwater issues in the City
including the Craven study; and recommended this process as good management and affordable.
5. COUNCIL QUESTIONS
Troy Rice, St. Johns River Water Management District, reported on progress of the former Adams site for
retention, stated that the swale system is better for percolation and removing pollutants and that if piping is
used, it will be directed to retention areas in the City. The City Manager discussed the possibility of use of
passive park tracts for some of the retention. Mr. Rice distributed a plan for the Adams property, and
encouraged use of the stormwater utility process.
6. PUBLIC DISCUSSION
The following members of the public addressed City Council:
Bill Germann - suggested damming the spillway coming into the St. Sebastian River at the CR512 bridge
and an area on Majestic.
City Council Stormwater Workshop

Mr. Rice noted that SJRVVMD is working with Indian River County on retrofitting runoff from Veto Lake
Estates.
Alita Hirshfeld - asked why residents should pay for this when the City states there is extra money in the
budget
TAPE II - SIDE I (8;34 p.m.)
Sal Neglia - discussed the use of park tracts, whether there will be increases, whether service will be
increased
Baxter Coston - inquired about the cost to owners of vacant properties and was advised they will pay a
percentage of the ERU but that the formula has not yet been established; and asked about maintenance
costs for curb and gutter. The City Attorney responded that curb and gutter is maintenance free for the
first ten years but stressed it has not been decided what actual methods will be used. He noted that swale
and perc is the best method but may not be best for an urban setting.
Carolyn Corum - expressed concern for another imposed tax and recommended modeling be done to
determine if any proposed system is going to work before implemented
Herb Sturm - suggested the City enforce codes which prohibit restricting the flow of water by citing people
who park in swales, and recommended use of Schumann Lake and better maintenance of existing ditches
Bill Germann - added that the City is full of lakes which could be utilized.
Mr. Sedgewick said the City is being surveyed to determine available retention areas exist, that modeling
will be done and options will be presented to City Council.
City Council discussion followed and Mr. Bishop noted that the agenda speaks for itself, that this is a
workshop to address a funding source and that specifics of the plan will be addressed when the plan is
complete and brought forward for City Council action at a later date.
7, REVIEW OF TIMETABLE
The City Attorney cited the schedule as follows:
· July 11, 2001 - City Council will be asked to adopt the preliminary rate

CLOCK LOCATION DATA
Location # 1
North East Corner US1 and Main Street
Description: Visual exposure is good for motoring traffic from all directions,
however, several palm trees, traffic signal strain pole and flagpole on this
corner may detract from clock prominence. Electrical service is readily
available. Cost to install should be less than $5000.
Location #2
North East Sector indian River Drive and Main Street
Description: Excellent visual 'exposure for motorists, pedestrians and boat
ramp users. Location enhances clock prominence. Electrical service is
readily available. Cost to install should be less than $5000.
Location #3
Indian River Drive at the Terminus of Fellsmere Boulevard (C..,R512)
Description: Prominent location, excellent visual exposure to motorists and
pedestrians. Electrical se .rviee is readily available. Cost to install should be
less than $5000.
Location #4
Within Riverview Park Fif~. Feet South of Diagonal Parking
Description: This placement would be at the end of the eight-foot wide
pedestrian entrance patl~ where it crosses the main park sidewalk. The
location is excellent for park patrons but provides no visual exposure for
motorists. Electrical service is readily available. Cost to install should be
less than $5000.
Location #5
Within the Roadway of Fells~gf9' Road (CR512) between US1 and Indian
River Drive Opposite the Middle ERress Point to Boat Trailer Parkin~
Description: This requires the creation a roundabout or traffic circle. A
professional design would call for the introduction of bypass lanes with
appropriate signs, markings, and curbing. The loss of approximately 10
diagonal parking spaces on the south side and the removal of shrub, curbing
and decorative streetlights on the north side would be required. Detailed
underground utility locations would be required and the paving of the entire
roadway here should be addressed at this time. Visual exposure is excellent
for motorists and pedestrians. Trailer boat traffic would have restricted
turning movements at this access point. The cost including this design and
pavement improvements could exceed $100,000.
Location #6
Southeast Corner of US1 and Fellsmere Boulevard (CR512)
Description: Good motorist visual exposure, limited pedestrian exposure.
Prominence may be compromised by utility poles, traffic signal poles, oak
trees, and commercial properties. Electric service is readily available. Cost
to install should not exceed $5000.

conferee ~ ~c~ C~if.
Q. [Fhat axe tl~e t~ro~oosed stafjTng standatd~?
A, Thc.proposed standards, NFPA 171'0 (for the career' ftrefightexs and'EMS personnel) and
N'FPA 1720 (for volunteers), would define mlr~nl~al response times to art emergency and.minimum
fire company and F. MS s~ffing levels. For,municipal fire departments, for example, NYPA 1710
call~ for fire companies to be.staffed with a minimttm of four on-duty personnel. "Compan/es" axe
de-~ed as groups of members (engine companies, ladder compauies, squads, etc.) "operating xvi~
one piece of fire apparatus .~xcept where multiple appaxsms axe assigned that are dispat~ed and
arrive together, are continuously operateod together, and are managcd by a single company officer."
In addition, NFPA 1710 would req trim five-six persomml m staff a fire emergency in a "hazardous"
or "high-r/sk" area.
What are the proposed response time standards?
The response time objectives £or fire supprcsslon, EMS response, and other op.exations are:
· Tm'~out time: one.minute
· A,mv~ of first engine company at a fire; 4 minutes
· Deployment of a full ~st alarm assignment at a fire: 8 minutes
· Axrival o.fEMS first responder: 4 minutes
Arrival of advanced life support unit a~ aa EMS incident: 8 minutes
What about v~lunteer fire departments?
Thc NFPA 1720 standards require aa initial assembly of at least £our persomael before fire
suppression activities can begin at a sa-uctural fire. When assembled, voluntecr~ must be able to
s~ffdy start fighting a fare wifl~n, two ~inutea 90 percent of the t~me, ~tarting with aa i.v.J~al rapid.

Q. ~naat is the patential liabillty for my community if the N~PA standard is approved?
A. Failure to adopt and comply with NFPA '1710 could expose municipalities to significant
pottmlial liability claims and lawsuits if a company with fewer than lbar firefighters responds to
a fire and the building is destroyed or someone is injured or killed. Whether or not thc presence
of an additional firefighter in the company could have prevmted the tragedy is irmlovan~. In
addition, cities will face financial exposure in labor contract negoti orions and arbitration
jud~nen~s if they do not adopt the NFPA standards.
Q. W'rll the NFPA standards reduce fire losses and improve safety for.fire ~oersotmel?
A. Proponents of the NYPA proposals have.offer¢6 no empirical evidence that the NFPA
standards will a~hieve ~ithcr objective. In fact, the opposite may occur if cilie, s ~ forced to
shift resources from fire prevention to fire suppression and sta,tTmg.

lives and property, to deal with incidents that occur, and to prepare
for anticipated incidents. It sets minimum standards considered
necessary for the provision of public fire protection by career fire
departments. It addresses the structure and operation of
organizations providing such services, including fire suppression
and other assigned emergency response responsibilities, which
include emergency medical services and special operations.
A.1.2.1 A fundamental concept of fire risk is associated with
modern society. Public fire service organizations are expected to
reduce the risk within their areas of jurisdiction by taking measttras
to prevent the outbreak of fires, to limit the extent and severity of
fires, to provide for the removal or rescue of endangered persons,
to control and extinguish fires that occur within the jurisdiction,
and to perform other emergency response operations and delivery
of emergency medical services,
The cumulative effects of preventive efforts, risk reductinn and
control, and fire suppression capabilities result in variable levels of
risk to the jurisdictions and their residents.
The risk remaining after deducting the cumulative effect of the
public fire service organization's efforts is the responsibility of each
Individual, including owners, operators, occupants, and casual
vlsttors to properties. It should be noted that fire risk cannot be
completely avotded or altmtnmed.
A.3.1.1.1 Antomatlc Aid, The pre-determined response of
personnel and equipment for an alarm to a neighboring
jurisdiction. This process ts accomplished through simultaneous
dispatch, ts documented in writing, and included as part of a
communication center's dispatch protocols.
A.3.1.1.2 Mutual Aid. A written policy or contract to allow for the
deployment of personnel and equipment to respond to an alarm In
another jurisdiction. This is part of the written deployment criteria
for response to alarms as dispatched by a communication center,
(See also definition 3. I. 1. l, Automatic Aid.)
A.3.1.2 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting. Such rescue and fire-
fighting actions are performed both inside and outside of the
aircraft.

A.3.1.5 Alarm. In some jurisdictions to as an
incident or call for service,
A.3.1.6 Apparatus, Examples include fire engines, water tenders,
and ladder trucks.
A.3.1.8 Company. Jurisdictions exist where the response capability
of the initial arriving company is configured with the response of
two apparatus. In some Jurisdictions, apparatus is not configured
with seated and belted positions for four personnel and therefore
would respond with an additional vehicle in consort with the initial
arriving engine to carry additional personnel. This response would
be to ensure that a minimum of four personnel are assigned to and
deployed as a company, The intent of this definition and the
requirements in the standard are to ensure that these two (or
more) pieces of apparatus would always be dispatched and
respond together as a single company. Some examples of this
include the following:
(1) Engine and tanker/tender that would be responding outside a
municipal water district
(2) Multiple ptece company assignment, specified in a fire
department's response SOPs, such as an engine company response
with a pumper and a hose wagon
(3) Engine with a vehicle personnel carrier
(4) Engine with an ambulance or rescue unit
A.3.1.1g Fire Suppression. Fire suppression includes all activities
performed at the scene of a fire incident or training exercise that
expose fire department members to the dangers of heat, flame,
smoke, and other products of combustion, explosion, or structural
collapse.
A.3.1.17 First Responder (EMS). The first respondar also assists
higher level emergency medteal service providers.
A. 3.1.19 Hazard. Hazards tnelude the characteristics of facilities,
equipment systems, property, hardware, or other objects: and the
actions and inactions of people that create such hazards.
A.3.1.Zl High Hazard Occupancy. Also included would be high-
risk residential occupancies, neighborhoods with structures in
close proximity to one another, special medical occupancies, and
high-rise occupancies.

NFPA 1710 -- May 2001 ROP -- Copyright 2000, NFPA
procedures, equipment, or materials, the authority having
jurisdiction may base acceptance on compliance with NFPA or
other appropriate standards. In the absence of such standards,
said authority may require evidence of proper installation,
procedure, or use. The authority having Jurisdiction may also refer
to the listings or labeling practices of an organization that is
concerned with product evaluations and is thus in a position to
determine compliance with appropriate standards for the current
production of listed items.
A.3.2.2 Authority Having Jurisdiction. The phrase "authority
having Jurisdiction' is used in NFPA documents in a broad
manner, since jurisdictions and approval agencies vary, as do their
responsibilities, Where public safety ts primary, the authority
having jurisdiction may be a federal, state, local, or other regional
department or individual such as a fire chief; fire marshal; chief of
a fire prevention bureau, labor department, or health department;
building official; electrical inspector; or others having statutory
authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection
department, rating bureau, or other insurance company
representative may be the authority having jurisdiction, In many
circumstances, the property owner or his or her designated agent
assumes the role of the authority having Jurisdiction; at government
installations, the commanding officer or departmental official may
be the authority having jurisdiction.
A.4.1.1 The authority having jurisdiction generally has the
responsibility to determine the following;
(1) Scope and level of service provided by the fire department
(2) Necessary level of funding
(3) Necessary level of personnel and resources, including
facilities
Legal counsel should be used to ensure that any statutory services
and responsibilities are being met.
The majority of public fire departments are established under the
charter provisions of their governing body or through the adoption
of statutes. These acts define the legal basis for operating a fire
department, the mission of the organization, the duties that are
authorized and expected to be performed, and the authority and
responsibilities that are assigned to certain individuals to direct the
operations of the fire department.
The documents that officially establish the fire department as an
identifiable organization are necessary to determine specific
responsibilities and to determine the parties responsible for
compliance with the provisions of this standard.
In many cases, these documents can be part of state laws, a
municipal charter, or an annual budget, in such cases, it would be
appropriate to make these existing documents part of the
organizational statement, if applicable.
A.4.1.3 There can be incidents or areas where the response criteria
are impacted by circumstances such as response personnel who axe
not on duty, nonstaffed fire station facilities, natural barriers, traffic
congestion, insufficient water supply, and density of population or
proparty. The reduced level of service should be documented in
the written ~y the percentage of incidents
and ; for which the response time criteria is

departments are responsible to a governing body, governing
body has the right and should assert its authority to set the specific
services and the limits of the services the lire department will
provide and has the responsibility to furnish the necessary
resources for delivery of the designated services. The fire
department should provide its governing body with a specific
description of each service with options or alternatives and an
accurate analysis of the costs and resources needed for each
service.
Such services could include structural fire fighting, wildland fire
fighting, airport/aircraft fire fighting, emesgeney medical services,
hazardous materials response, high angle rescue, heavy rescue, and
others.
Spelling out the specific parameters of services to be provided
allows the fire department to plan, staff, equip, train, and deploy
members to perform these duties. It also gives the governing body
an accounting of the costa of services and allows it to select those
services they can afford to provide. Likewise, the governing body
should identify services it cannot afford to provide and cannot
authorize the fire department to deliver or should assign those
services to another agency,
The fire department should be no different from any other
government agency that has the parameters of its authority and
services clearly defined by the governing body.

A.4.8.1 Where appropriate, the mutual aid agreement should
include automatic responses on first alarms (automatic aid). This
concept contemplates joint response of designated apparatus and
personnel on a predetermined running assignment basis,
Mutual aid concepts should be considered on a regional basis, In
an effective mutual aid arrangement, each fire department should
retain reserves of personnel and apparatus. Traditionally and
legally, overall command of the Incident is vested with the senior
officer of the jurisdiction experiencing the emergency.
Some areas use consolidated dispatching to coordinate the
response of fire companies to assist an outside fire department.
The management of responses can be made easier by utilizing
computerization, "running cards,' and other advance planning.
A.5.Z Suppression capability is an expression of how much fire-
fighting power can be put into action when there ts a fire. It
includes the amount of apparatus, equipment, and personnel
available; the time needed to respond and place equipment in
action; the water supply; the application of strateKy and tactics; the
level of training: and all of the components that add up to effective
flreground operations.

basement and with no exposures (detached home), All
communities respond to fire incidents in this type of structure on a
regular basis and therefore the hazards presented by this scenario

A.5.5.1 Auxiliary water tankers should be dispatched whenever
there is any indication of possible need and especially when the
aircrafi accident site is known to be beyond water relay capability,
Pre-arrangements should be made to ensure that additional
supplies of extinguishing agents are brought to the scene. Prudent
utilization of agents under these circumstances is particularly
important, and application methods should be carefully selected to
ensure their most effective use, Therefore. it is necessary for
airport emergency plans to contain instructions for requesting
support from externally based fire services following an emergency.
It is not easy to specify an operational requirement that makes
adequate provision in all circumstances, It is clear that a need for
additional water could arise in as little as § minutes, although in
this time the initial fire situation should be greatly reduced. If total
extinguishment has not been achieved the fire can quickly ex~end
and the equipment should be replenished. Airports should
349
NFPA 1710 -- May 2001 ROP -- Copyright 2000, NFPA
consider providing additional water as a support facility. There
could be exceptions where airports have adequate ptped, stored, or
natural water supplies, provided that these are available at an
accident in sufficient quantity and in time to meet the operational
requirement, In each case the authority having jurisdiction should
consult closely with fire departments that provide mutual or
automatic aid regarding response and supply of additional water
supplies. The airport authority will need to assess the suitability of
the water resources that can be mobilized to support the airport
fire service when a serious and prolonged post-accident fire occurs,
Therefore, the speed of mobilization and the rate at which the
water can be delivered to the accident site are important factors.
A.5.5.6.2.2 The U.S. Department of Defense has defined the areas
involved in the emergency within 240 m (75 ft) of the aircraft as

SUMMARY
The Roads and Drainage Division of the Public Works Department has a grader budgeted for
this fiscal year however, after equipment trials and further review of equipment needs, it is
our opinion that a wheel loader would be a much more advantageous piece of equipment for
.the work associated with pipe installations, swale raking and cleaning. In addition, a large or
medium size grader is no longer useful for swale regarding, as well as, since there are no dirt
-roads left.in the City, a new grader is not necessary.
.The amount budgeted for the grader is sufficient to cover the cost of the Caterpillar wheel
loader, which will be purchased in its place off Federal GSA Contract # GS-30F-1025D in
the amount of $109,016.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Move to approve the purchase ofa C.aterpillar 924G Wheel Loader from Kelly Tractor Company in
the mount of $109,016 from the Federal GSA Contract # GS-30F-1025D.
