Initiative ", young people are encouraged to make positive choices to keep them healthy throughout their lives; and WHEREAS, in solidarity with those struggling with heart disease and in acknowledgement of the hardworking health care professionals who provide life- saving treatment, research, and advice, let us take ownership of our heart health and commit to positive lifestyles, this month and throughout the year. NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Sebastian, Florida, and on behalf of the Sebastian City Council, I do hereby proclaim February 2014 as American Heart Health Month in Sebastian and encourage everyone to commit to a healthier lifestyle including exercise and a healthy diet to prevent cardiovascular disease. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Sebastian to be affixed this 12th day February, 2014. City of Sebastian, Florida Bob McPartlan, Mayor CROF SEAN HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND PROCLAMATION African American History Month 2014 WHEREAS, In America we share a dream that lies at the heart of our founding, that no matter who we are, no matter what we look like, no matter how modest our beginnings or circumstances of our birth, we are all created equal; and WHEREAS, for many and for much of our Nation's history, that dream has gone unfulfilled, and for African Americans, it was a dream denied until 150 years ago, when President Lincoln called for the end of slavery, a dream deferred to less than 50 years ago, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of justice and brotherhood from Lincoln's memorial. This dream of equality and fairness has never come easily, but it has always been sustained by the belief that in America, change is possible; and WHEREAS, today, because of that hope, coupled with the hard and painstaking labor of Americans sung and unsung, we live in a moment when the dream of equal opportunity is within reach for people of every color and creed; and WHEREAS, National African American History Month is a time to tell stories of freedom won and honor the individuals who wrote them, to trace generations of African Americans, free and slave, who risked everything to realize their God -given rights. When we listen to the echoes of speeches and struggle that made our Nation stronger, we hear again the thousands who sat in, stood up, and called out for equal treatment under the law, and we see yesterday's visionaries in tomorrow's leaders, reminding us that while we have yet to reach the mountaintop, we cannot stop climbing; and WHEREAS, let us never lose sight of the many who marched and toiled and bled shoulder - to- shoulder and burned with hope for a brighter day, with a shared legacy and American spirit, a spirit that still guides us forward today. NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Sebastian, Florida, and on behalf of the Sebastian City Council, I do hereby proclaim February 2014 as African American History Month to honor those who came before us, to live by their example, and follow in their footsteps toward a better future which is ours to claim. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Sebastian to be affixed this 12th day of February 2014.

Large photos of some of the county's most significant historic structures, including schools, a church, private homes and businesses, will be on display. The theme is "if These Walls Could Talk," and residents with knowledge about the buildings will be on hand to share stories and answer questions. Buildings from communities in the county will be depicted, including Fellsmere, Sebastian, Wabasso, Gifford, Vero Beach, Oslo, and the historic Riomar neighborhood in Vero Beach. Also planned is a Wall of Shame that will show historic buildings, such as the Royal Park Inn and Del Mar Hotel, both former Vero Beach landmarks that didn't escape the wrecking ball. The Royal Park Inn site is occupied by condominiums, and the Del Mar Hotel made way for a downtown parking lot years ago. And to keep things in perspective there will also be a Wall of Fame showcasing buildings and structures saved from demolition that are still in use and that continue to serve the community. The Celebration, a fund - raising event for the Heritage Center, will take place from 5 — 8 p.m. Sponsors include Edlund, Dritenbas, Binkley Architects & Associates, P.A., Graves Brothers Company, Bill Mitchell, Golden River Fruit Co. and Frances Ellis Graves. Sponsorships are available. Admission is $10 per person, and visitors will receive printed histories of the buildings as they stroll around the main hall of the Heritage Center. Elizabeth Graves- Bass, President of the Board of Directors of Vero Heritage, Inc., which operates the Heritage Center, heads the committee. Other members include Mary Jane Stewart and Celeta Arden, past board members; Judy Roberts, Janie Gould, Cathie Callery and Randy Wytrval, current board members; Pam Cooper, Florida history and genealogy librarian at the Indian River County Main Library; Vicky Gould, president of the Historic Osceola Park Neighborhood Association; Anna Brady, historic preservationist; Suzan Phillips, author of a book about the history of McKee Botanical Garden; and Rebecca Rickey, Executive Director of the Heritage Center. The Heritage Center and Indian River Citrus Museum are located at 2140 14th Ave., in Pocahontas Park, historic downtown Vero Beach.

WORKSHOP ITEM — Indian River Lagoon — Discuss Methods to Determine Cause of Decline Mayor McPartlan said this workshop has been called to discuss various methods to determine causes of the decline of the lagoon. Mr. Gillmor said we all know there is a problem, and during the last season the main point of interest was the lagoon, and he was concerned it would be forgotten in the dry season. He said he spoke to former Vice Mayor Wright who directed him to Dr. Brian LaPointe, and we are honored to have him here at this workshop. He said this is a first step for Sebastian, to find out what is going on in the lagoon, what the causes are and how to fix it. He said he hoped we are able to find clarity and get everyone to take ownership of what goes into the lagoon, and gain understanding that everything that goes into swales and ditches near our residences flows into quarter round and eventually finds its way into a body of water, to the St. Sebastian River and ultimately into the Indian River Lagoon. Mr. Hill said he was looking forward to information on methodology, on what exactly is taking place and causing the lagoon decline, so we can tackle it. He said Sebastian has been at the forefront in treating our waters and spent tens of millions of dollars over the last several decades cleaning up the waters leaving Sebastian, and have been good stewards of the lagoon and this is another step in that process. 10 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Two Ms. Coy thanked everyone who took the time to be here and said her biggest wish is that she hears something from each and every one of those in attendance, that this is their chance to tell the Council what they want, and said she is ready to do some action planning. Mr. Adams said he is looking forward to the discussion and finding out the science behind it, how we can actually figure out what the problem is, and how go about fixing the problem and how we get the money to fix the problem. Dr. Brian LaPointe, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University, Marine Ecosystem Health Program, thanked Mr. Gillmor for inviting him tonight to present and City Council for their interest in this issue. He presented a PowerPoint presentation entitled "Nutrients and Water Quality in the Indian River Lagoon" (see attached to minutes). He said the 156 mile long Indian River Lagoon is in crisis, and presented work he has been involved in with over the past three years, through his work at Harbor Point, funded by the Save Our Seas license plate and Guy Harvey artwork. He said we know the critical issues mostly this year and back in 2005 are the excessive freshwater inflows from Lake Okeechobee into the St. Lucie River, but there was a lot of stormwater runoff from record excessive rains up and down the lagoon, carrying contaminants and nutrients from wastewater, fertilizer, and other sources. He said those nutrients, when they get in the water, create toxic algal blooms and smother seagrasses. He said there are declining fisheries and mortalities in sealife, including protected species. He cited the record 813 manatee deaths in Florida last year, many from algal blooms and red tides. The common thread is nutrient pollution, citing his book "Clean Coastal Waters — Understanding and Reducing the Effects of Nutrient Pollution ", and US Coalition on Ocean Policy report "An Ocean Blueprint for the 21St Century" He said nutrient runoff into the lagoon has caused eutrophication, citing a 2007 study showing moderate to high eutrophication (the process by which a body of water becomes enriched in dissolved nutrients (as phosphates) that stimulate the growth of aquatic plant life usually resulting in the depletion of dissolved oxygen). He cited graphs indicated a worsening problem starting in 2009 -2010 with light depletion from phytoplankton blooms that killed off seagrasses. He said as they got into the research it was clear that septic tanks was more of a problem, that the 1.7 people live along the Lagoon watershed, with 380,000 septic tank at 2.5 people per septic tank. He said the low elevation and low organic matter in sandy soils along the lagoon watershed matter sets up a situation that takes nitrogen from septic tanks to the lagoon, cited a study by Horsley and Whitten which concluded that 90% of nitrogen in groundwater in watershed in IRL are from septic tanks and less than 10% from fertilizer and other sources, and that nine pounds of nitrogen per person per year goes into the watershed. He then provided scientific study evidence from the 1994 -1995 Jupiter Creek (slides 8 -13); the 2005 -2006 St. Lucie Estuary Study (slide 14); and IR Lagoon Wide Study 2011 -2012 (slides 15 -32) from Jupiter Inlet to Ponce Inlet, which he said implicate nutrients from septic systems. In reference to the IR Lagoon wide study, with twenty testing sites, the central Indian River Lagoon locations being CIRL Station 1 at the mouth of the St. Sebastian River, and CTRL Station 2 at the Main Relief Canal in Vero and CIRL Station 3 at the South Canal in south Indian River County. Dr. Lapointe provided graphs depicting: Salinity - in dry season 2011, wet season 2011 and 2012 which shows lowest salinity in the CIRL region due to freshwater intrusion, levels of chlorophyll a the same period of time, showing higher levels in the northern areas of the lagoon and not in the CTRL. 2 11 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Three DIN (Ammonium + Nitrate + Nitrite) - showing a high concentration of nutrients in the CIRL with the St. Sebastian River being a major source of freshwater runoff in the wet seasons In response to Mr. Hill, Dr. Lapointe said the dredging of the St. Sebastian River during that period of time could be a factor in those numbers. SRP Phosphorous — higher in CIRL region TDN Total Dissolved Nitrogen TDP Total Dissolved Phosphorous TDN:TDP Ratio of Nitrogen to Phosphorous Dr. Lapointe said phosphorous does come from septic tanks and is a major constituent of sewage, noting in slide 24 shows a much higher ratio in the north lagoon than in the CIRL area. He then showed the Land /Ocean Biogeochemical Observatories (LOBOs) used to conduct the studies and gave a website address httg: / /fau- hboi.loboviz.com , an interactive site to view real - time data directly from the LOBOS. He described a result showing a drop in salinity during July 2013, the wettest July on record, and decrease in dissolved oxygen. He said these are the types of data they need to quantify and model the relationships between environmental factors and biological processes in the lagoon. He said he would love to have one in the St. Sebastian River and perhaps some year they will be able to do that. He said another method they use is collection of macroalgae or seaweed samples, which he said are becoming part of the problem because they proliferate and take oxygen out of the bottom, and they are collected and tested to determine ratios and sources of nutrients they take up. In slide 31, Dr. Lapointe showed stable nitrogen isotope data from microalgae at the twenty stations lagoon -wide, and levels above three indicate waste water nitrogen and below three indicate fertilizer nitrogen, which is standard in urbanized areas, and it is likely that wastewater nitrogen is fueling algal blooms up and down the IR Lagoon. He showed comparisons of other sewage impacted areas of the country going through similar issues with the Indian River Lagoon, noting the CIRL levels of stable nitrogen isotope data from microalgae are much higher than other areas and the overall IRL. He cited the Grizzle -Figg Act in Tampa Bay that mandated nitrogen removal. He said as seagrasses have disappeared manatees have turned to other food sources such as seaweeds, they have worked with NOAA scientists to look for toxins in the seaweeds, and they have very blistering toxicity and high nitrogen and phosphorous ratios, and hope to look into this more and it may explain severe intestinal problems that Manatees are developing. He said they are looking in more detail at the septic tank issue in IR County as well as in the St. Sebastian River, which is being conducted by one of his Masters students through FAU, noting a map in slide 35 that shows the location of septic tanks in IR County, and will have more information in the next six months or so. He then described the studies conducted on Tampa Bay in the late 70's and 80's, again citing the Grizzle -Figg Act passed in the late 70's, which required removal of nutrients from wastewater, and said Tampa Bay has been turned around, 8,000 acres has been reestablished, and 10,000 acres more will return it to 1950s levels. He said some other areas in the country with similar situations are using aquaculture with Gracilaria to remove nitrogen from the impacted waters. His presentation slide 41 summarized findings for the IR Lagoon, septic tanks, leaking sewage systems, and re -use systems. He said another thing they can do is to pass a stronger fertilizer ordinance, showing slide 42 which shows local governments which have passed and are considering them, and urged them to take every step they can to control this. He completed his presentation at 7:00 p.m. 3 12 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Four Mr. Hill said they have a fertilizer ordinance, and Ms. Coy responded a weak one. Mr. Gillmor said if nitrogen and phosphorous are coming from the St. Sebastian River where there is much more construction and older homes on the north side of the river, positioning a sensor in the mouth of the river won't tell where it is coming from. He asked if there was a way for the City to do grab samples from its outfalls, specifically on the east side of Indian River Drive, using volunteers to tell us what is in the water. Dr. Lapointe said a volunteer network to grab samples during storm events could work and said his Masters student would probably be glad to come up and work with a group of volunteers to show them the methods they are using to institute a grab sampling program, which is in line with her thesis. Ms. Coy asked how much the LOBOs cost, and Dr. Lapointe responded they were about $100K and is the Cadillac of real time monitoring, they are being used around the country, but there can be a scaled down version of the LOBO, such as a Seabird which measures some of the nutrients and is $26K. He said the LOBOs are primarily made in the US by a Colorado manufacturer, said there are two in the Indian River Lagoon, both currently at Harbor Branch because they are trying to develop an ammonium sensor. Mr. Hill said the bulk of the study is geared toward septic, and asked where the nitrogen from septic shows itself, whether stormwater, retention ponds, canals, all leaching into the river through groundwater and make it to IR Lagoon. Dr. Lapointe said all of the above. He said during a rain event imagine the water table coming up where you get ponding, you get vertical mixing at that point of sewage nitrogen coming up into the puddles. He said during storm events you can get not only nitrogen from fertilizer, but nitrogen from wastewater running off. Mr. Hill said there are not many retention ponds except in new neighborhoods that have sewer, but it may be a good idea to test those in addition to some of the other ones to be a good gauge to compare them to determine where the nitrogen is coming from. He asked if you were trying to get to the core of the problem, would you sample many water sources throughout the area. Dr. Lapointe agreed, canals, tidal creeks, detention ponds. Ms. Coy asked if there is anything that jumps off the page that makes Sebastian any different than any other place studied, and if we know that nitrogen and phosphorous are the biggest problems, how important is it to know how much comes from septic tanks or other sources, and how much more studying do we have to do. Dr. Lapointe said source reduction is the most important thing, to clean the lagoon up and get it in a recovery mode, and it is an imperfect science, noting we were trying to clean up the lagoon, the fertilizer, the sediments, and then got blindsided in 2011 by the algal bloom and no one expected that result and that points out the need for science and monitoring, because if you are not achieving the results you want to achieve you need the monitoring to tell you where you need to turn. Ms. Coy said it is her contention we can study for another year while we are sitting doing nothing, but rather shouldn't we be putting monitoring systems out there and taking action and and see if it make a difference while we are testing. Dr. Lapointe said if you have a good quality system and not all are the same, and some are garbage and urged them not to skimp when it comes to your monitoring. 4 13 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Five Ms. Coy said monitors might suggest that some or the majority are coming from septic, but its not going to tell you what percentage is from stormwater runoff or fertilizer but rather there are multiple non -point sources. He agreed and said the NEP Program got rid of most of the point sources, the Indian River Lagoon Act of 1990 got most of it out of the lagoon, but then look what happened in 2011. He said that is why you need the monitoring to find out what those other sources are, that we have a non -point source of nitrogen. Mr. Gillmor asked with the exception of sewer which would be billions of dollars what can be done, and Dr. Lapointe answered composting toilets which he has in his home in the Bahamas. Mayor McPartlan asked about installing oyster reefs, and Dr. Lapointe that is another tool as is seaweed aquaculture to bio- extract nutrients, and you could do both, and when you harvest you would know what you are removing from the water. Ms. Coy said that is reactive rather than pro- active. Dr. Lapointe said there may come a time when we get points for nitrogen removal. Mr. Adams asked if LOBOS were the same as Kilroys and Dr. Lapointe said they are totally different, that Kilroys do not measure salinity and that is critical, and has not looked carefully looked at their data and urged you to look into that data if they are going to consider Kilroys. ?? — did not get name or beginning of question regarding CR 54. Dr. Lapointe said canals can act as incubators for algal blooms. Mitchell A. Roffer, Ph.D. Roller's Ocean Fishing Forecasting Service, Inc., Florida Institute of Technology, asked if Dr. Lapointe had studied nitrogen and phosphorous coming out of sewer treatment plants. Dr. Lapointe said this comes back to the Grizzle -Figg Act, because treated sewage does have high concentrates of ammonia and nitrate depending on the aeration applied at the plant, but is also true of secondary treatment of sewage. He said the Act took it a step further and mandated advanced waste treatment. He said there are high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous coming out of sewage treatment plants, and how that is treated is part of the overall reduction strategy. He said we will probably have to move toward a Grizzle - Fig Act in the Indian River Lagoon. Discussion continued on what happens to the County sewage. Sal Neglia said we have natural phosphorous in the soil and asked if that would hamper the removal process, and Dr. Lapointe said he thought there is a substantial amount of phosphorous absorbed to the soils, and it was getting a little bit of treatment as it moved through the soils, but at some point the plumes can overcome the capacity for the soil to absorb, and that may be happening with the older septic tanks, some built in the 60s and within 25 feet of the lagoon which are not removing the phosphorous. Dr. Eric Spokas asked if monitoring acidity is routinely done with LOBOs and Dr. Lapointe said that is not a part at this time. Dr. Spokas asked if there is a predictable change during extensive flooding in PH and Dr. Lapointe agreed it would move down and be more acidic, but where there is a superbloom it would drive the PH up. Dr. Spokas asked in regard to the success in Tampa Bay how long did recovery take place, and Dr. Lapointe said decades, though there will be immediate improvements. John Powell, Sebastian, cited a1997 paper that states on average that there is only 50% reduction in effluent release from septic tanks, and cited available cost effective fixes for existing septic systems. He said there are 35,000 septic tanks in Indian River County and in Brevard 5 14 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Six there are 100,000 and it is not just our problem. Dr. Lapointe said there are 380,000 along the Indian River Lagoon, and said it comes down to the homeowner level to modify the septic tank or sign up to sewer, and people can look at denitrifying systems, and that Vero Beach is looking at options. Mr. Hill said lots of cities put that re-use water into surface lakes. John Orcutt asked about the Big Pine Key results, and Dr. Lapointe said it is still on -going down into the lower keys, and there will be a meeting in Key West January 30th. He said Key Largo was ahead of the curve in eliminating septic tanks and there was not a lot of monitoring to track results but people say there was an immediate approval but coral replacement will take centuries. Mr. Orcutt said he hears "crisis in lagoon ", and the word "study" but if we are in a crisis, how do we take action if it costs us $20K per household. He said if he were King of the municipality the quickest action for a realistic improvement would be to look at ordinances I have regarding turf, septic tanks, setbacks, fertilizer or whatever, they could look at all regulations to find ways to stop pollution at its source. Dr. Lapointe said they can have a smorgasbord of actions to stop it at its source. Mr. Orcutt asked if an individual local government can pass septic ordinances and Dr. Lapointe said they can, because the State sets minimum standards. Mr. Orcutt noted those localities that have passed strong fertilizer ordinances and if we got all of them along the lagoon, it would allow them to adopt an education program much the same as has been done on the west coast. He said the program is www.befloridian.com Robin Graves, NRB Chair, asked if seaweed will grow here, what types would we introduce, would wildlife thrive on it, and is it feasible for our river. Dr. Lapointe said the seaweeds are all native and are already growing here, commonly referred to as red drift algae, and manatees are eating it, they are replacing seagrasses and are very thick, double their biomass in a few days, which makes them such great contenders for bioextraction on nutrients, and makes sense in communities with fishermen with clam leases, and is something you could consider. Ms. Coy asked if Gracilaria was killing manatees, and Dr. Lapointe said in the upper lagoon, and would probably not be toxic in this area but would need to be tested. Arjuna Weragoda, IRC Utilities Department, said there are three treatment plants in the County and the effluent is reuse and monitored and regulated by DEP, said there is a new sewer feasibility study that includes the Sebastian Area Feasibility Study, and will go before the Board of Commissioners and hopefully evolve into a project. He said people think their septic tanks are working fine until it backs up into their home, he understands there is going to be a cost for sewer. Ms. Coy said she hoped they got Sebastian involved in the project, saying she knows nothing about it. Mr. Weragoda said Indian River County funded $60K for the study, and we need data to come to Council to give them the options. Dr. Lapointe said he just paid $4500 to hook up his system to a central collection system in Big Pine Key with advanced waste treatment and deep well injection. Mr. Hill said if we are hooking up to sewer and they reuse the water, isn't it still going into the groundwater. 6 15 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Seven Mr. Weragoda said the AWT number is 3mg per liter in the County. ? ?? ELC, Naturalist, Environmental Learning Center, said they are big on behavioral change, asked what things people can do to monitor their own septic system. Dr. Lapointe said you can go to Home Depot and purchase %" PVC and build your own piezometer and suggested people google for instructions. He said a HACH kit can be used to test the water, and all can be purchased for less than $100 for a homeowner. Mr. Gillmor asked if less water use in toilets would be good to lower nutrients and Dr. Lapointe said it would be worse in terms of transport because there would be higher concentrations of nutrients because they are coming from us and not the water. Kristen Beck, Outdoor Adventures, Sebastian, asked if studies have looked at the economic impact since this issue arose, have had cancellations, fishermen's businesses are down, and urged the governments to act. Dr. Lapointe said an NEP study done years ago came up with a $3.7M number that ecological services provide to our communities and are being diminished by this crisis. Peter O'Bryan, Chairman, Indian River County Board of County Commissioners, said the House and Senate put $2M in last year's State budget for LOBOs and the Governor vetoed the funds, that Senator Negron has that $2M back in this year as a recommendation, and urged Council to work the halls of Tallahassee, or send a resolution or letter of support because this funding is critical to the Lagoon and we need a unified voice. He described successful efforts and funding to create vertical oyster reefs on concrete rubble, explained the formation of the Indian River County Collaborative with one County Commissioner each from Martin County, St. Lucie County, Indian River County, Brevard County and Volusia County to discuss the lagoon on a lagoon wide basis, and said he would get Mr. Gillmor on their email list. Commissioner O'Bryan described the function of the County re -use system which is a gravity feed system, goes to off -site storage then used by Golf Courses for irrigation, and can be stored on County ponds. He said a Monroe County Commissioner he talked to at a meeting said their conversion from septic to sewer was more than $950M. He discussed Indian River County's plan to do a sewer program study in the north county, as an economic development opportunity east of US 1 to the river for commercial businesses. Ms. Coy said the City had approved an agreement with the County for funding for expansion of the sewer system (Davis Street sewer project), and it came to an abrupt halt and asked for the reason. Commissioner O'Bryan cited it was Davis Street, and the holdup was there was one property where right -of -way was needed and the cost was out of the ballpark. Mr. Griffin added it was because the County wanted to start the north county study and Masteller Moler was conducting the study, noting the study is basically from US 1 to the lagoon. Mr. Weragoda said what happens is that they put in the infrastructure and then get only 40% of the people who hook up, so we end up with dry lines which are a costly to the County. Ms. Coy said the City has $100K waiting for the dry line to come through to help businesses and residents to hook up, and urged them to get it going. 7 16 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Eight Dr. Lapointe reported on an Everglades Coalition meeting attended by Representative Patrick Murphy who said that he and other representatives are looking at getting federal dollars for septic tank conversions along the Indian River Lagoon, and urged the County Collaborative to work with that delegation. Dr. Robert Weaver, Florida Institute of Technology, said you are not operating in a vacuum, there are research capabilities right here at FIT and Brevard County and people there are taking the problem very seriously, it is a lagoon -wide program and urged them to make use of local resources. Karen Schuster, Sebastian, said people are confused, studies have been going on for thirteen years, and she is tired of hearing of studies and money spent, and Council can't even pass a strong fertilizer ordinance. Mayor McPartlan thank Dr. Lapointe for his presentation. Mayor McPartlan called recess from 8:08 pm to 8:22 pm. Mr. Gillmor thanked Council and staff for putting the workshop together, he heard a lot and there are things we can do but it will be a long process, but there are resources we can tap into, such as using grad students to help with testing. He said he had met with Mr. Griffin and staff and had found that the City has nine outfalls into the lagoon, two will be filtered but the others are not. He said we have done some good things, citing the Stormwater Park is great, but if we could test those outfalls and other places that would be great. Mr. Hill said no matter how we treat rainwater and what comes into the lagoon from the surface, and that will have no effect on septic, and clearly from their studies septic is a big problem, and it would be a good idea to direct staff to come back to us with a couple of different plans to test various water sources throughout Sebastian so we can see what types and how much nitrogen we find, and work from there. He said we have to work closely with IRC to put in the sewer line and if septic is an issue, it will be biggest nearest the water. He said we are doing a good job with grant funding to help businesses to connect, and if it is effective, we may want to bump up that funding. He said he was pleased with tonight's presentation and questions from the audience, and with this information we can move forward, noting it took Tampa Bay decades. He suggested we move forward and do those pinpoint studies. Ms. Coy said for the most part she agrees, that we need to move forward and monitor, and have different systems of monitoring and decide which is better, but said she will branch off and be more aggressive, to say there are things we can do, and finds it shameful that we are the only municipality in Indian River County that does not have a stronger fertilizer ordinance. She said it is a no brainer and doesn't cost any money, and why let another rainy season go by and do nothing. She said let's monitor and filter outfalls, and we can show progress. She said she would like to readdress that issue and agrees with the woman who said they are done with studying, and we know the problem is nitrogen and phosphorous, is it septic tanks or fertizer, we know it is all of that, and multifaceted. She read a letter from Commissioner Jacqui Thurlow- Lippisch from Sewall's Point (see attached). She asked whether she could bring the fertilizer item back. 8 17 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Nine The City Attorney said the City does not have a provision in its Code that says once an item is dealt with it cannot come back for a certain time, and it can be brought back with instruction to staff. She said she has received a lot of calls and we need to readdress it. She said she knows she and Mr. Hill are at odds on this. Mayor McPartlan said we can debate the fertilizer issue, but we have discussed it many times and have had experts on both sides of the issue, but right now he would like to address what we are talking about at this meeting and how to move forward. Ms. Coy said fertilizer and septic tanks are common sense, it's getting in the river and we have to stop it, and we need to be alert to all available grants and be sure IRC knows what we are doing, like our available sewer hookup grants, and lean on State and Federal money. She said we do need to monitor, then get the data and make changes to see our progress, but not do nothing for another year and wait for someone else to decide, it is fertilizer first, septic second, stay on top of legislatures at the State and Federal level to get the funding. She said we are the ones to make the decisions, we can't expect residents to do it, so let's do what we can afford. Mr. Adams said we cannot do this in a vacuum, and there are other cities and entities who are doing studies and we need to pool our resources and come together as one unit. He said we need to work with the County to get money to get projects in place, to do the monitoring, use volunteers or students, work with Harbor Branch and get samples analyzed. He said we need to approach this in a united front. Mayor McPartlan said there are several things we can do that don't cost any money, suggested a letter to the Governor for funding for LOBOS, and if it doesn't come through, get with Harbor Branch and partner with the County to get one up here, Harbor Branch and FIT can work together, liked the idea of the oyster reefs and perhaps grasses that were discussed, and take samples before and after they are planted to see the impact. He said we passed the first fertilizer ordinance, we can use the Natural Resources Board to go forward, go into the schools, citing a recent study done by students on the lagoon. He said if we do the oyster reefs, there are a lot of students who need IB hours, and we can get participation for the National Day of Service in April. He said we can find out the cost of that and maybe the County can match that funding. He said he got an education tonight from the presentation that we did not get during the fertilizer meetings, and Dr. Lapointe broke it down into layman's terms. He asked that we have a resolution at the next meeting to Governor Scott. Mr. Gillmor read from a Harbor Branch website, "How to Love Your Lagoon" (see attached), cited the need for public education and noted the Environmental Learning Center as a great education center. He again discussed the education he got from his meeting with City staff this past week about the City outfalls. He said there are a lot of tests we can do, citing the Hach test kit for nitrates, which are inexpensive. He said we need to educate the people of Sebastian and make sure they know how to do the right thing, don't dump things in their ditches or quarter round, make sure there are more doggy bags available especially on the riverfront, put information on the website and Channel 25, and educate people in taking responsibility, and agreed with Ms. Coy that we need to take responsibility to do whatever we can do to get this going. 9 18 of 82 City Council Workshop Indian River Lagoon January 15, 2014 Page Ten Ms. Coy said she agreed to a point that we need consensus and not do things counter- productive to the others, and we are almost on overload of conferences and everyone is coming to different conclusions. She asked why would we not want to relook at fertilizer when everyone around us has already adopted that. She said you are the ones who want consensus and we are sitting out on our own and we didn't take action. Mayor McPartlan said we were the first ones who came to the party when there was no one else. Mr. Hill said that we were the first to come forward and pass a fertilizer ordinance that science has shown will help reduce the amount of pollution in runoff and a responsible way of using fertilizer, and did not want to debate the fertilizer, because it has been a wonderful discussion tonight, but if anyone was watching the same presentation he was, there were a lot of things that would indicate that a blackout period would be of little effect, noting their readings showed higher amounts of dissolvable nitrogen in the dry season than in the rainy season. He suggested we have a group of people here who want to move forward on this issue, and not get caught up in an issue and debate it over and over again. He said Dr. Lapointe's presentation shows that 90% of all nitrogen he feels in the lagoon is coming from sewage and all other nitrogen sources make up 10 %. He said we already have a best management practices fertilizer ordinance in place to apply nitrogen and phosphorous. Ms. Coy said he did not change her opinion and they will hear it from her over and over because it is common sense and she will continue to raise that flag. Mr. Hill said he had complete and utter respect for her but said in 1491 it was common sense that the earth was flat. Mayor McPartlan said we can have a team building exercise when Mr. Griffin gets the information back and go out and build an oyster reef together, and we know we will reduce nitrogen. Ms. Coy said Mr. Hill can dump a bag of fertilizer in there and we'll monitor that. 5.

St. Baldrick's Event — Be Brave and Shave:- Frank Mannino and Missv Elward Ms. Elward updated City Council on the St. Baldrick's Event scheduled for Captain Hiram's on March 15`, to benefit research for childhood cancer, showing'pictures from last year's event and reported over $107,06Q was raised last year in seven weeks. She noted the Indian River County Commission islshaving again this year, and said the goal is $200,000 and 300 heads. Mayor McPartlan'saidhe would sign up, Mr. Hill and Mr. Adams will let her know, Ms. Coy will consider biitonly if they as a team can get $2,500 in donations. Ms. Elward said the Sebastian PD has already signed up and noted that 80% of last year's funds came from Sebastian. 14.018 C. Rusty Roberts, FEC Industries, gave a Power Point presentation (see attached) on the planned All Aboard Florida: passenger train which will travel between Miami and Orlando, with stops in Fort Lauderdale' and` West Palm Beach. He gave the history of FEC, a successor company of the Flagler Company, purchased in 2007 by a NY firm and is now operating as FEC' Industries,with FEC Railway as its sister agency. He said from 1890 to 1;968 the FEC east coast corridor was running passenger rail, and in 1971 Amtrak took over;passenger rail in the US, and the FEC tracks became freight rail and one of the two tracks running up the- corridor was removed. He said FEC will need to put the additional track back down orrthe existing 100 foot wide corridor and and the double tracks will go on the same footprint, with work to begin later this year. He said this is a privately financed operation using company and borrowed funds, they are seeking no government funds and there is no taxpayer risk. He said both Miami and Orlando receive tourists and the train will allow another opportunity to extend their visits in a three hour trip and will remove 3M cars off the road. He said each train will be seven cars and two locomotives, the cost of construction is $1.513 cost, and the only new corridor is from Cocoa to Orlando Airport leasing SR 528 Beach line corridor right -of -way. He displayed the planned stations and amenities in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm, and Orlando Airport which will all connect with other types of intermodal transportation. He said the trains with a length of 900 feet will travel hourly 32 times per day (16 north -16 south) at a speed of 110 mph in this area, noting freight trains are 7800 feet, there will be no vibration and quieter new engines. He said quiet zones are brought up frequently, that FEC is required to sound horns now and cities are allowed to stop the horns if the cities further secure crossings with quad gates to prevent anyone from trying to beat the trains, and quiet zone construction is the responsibility of the city, FEC can do the work and 2 21 of 82 Regular City Council Meeting January 22, 2014 Page Three charge the cities for it, and quiet zones would require certain liabilities on the part of the city. He said FEC plans to do the work on the crossings later this year and that would be the time for the city to consider quiet zones and do that work at the same time. In response to Ms. Coy he guessed that the cost could be as low as $100K or twice that or more, depending on configuration. He said FEC is currently analyzing the crossings and the City PW Director will be invited to go over their engineering reports, he noted all cities have an agreement to pay for a portion of crossing maintenance, and they will be doing safety upgrades at every crossing with 100% of the funding. He highlighted other safety and automated features, can even synchronize traffic lights and in response to Ms. Coy he said the trains will go through in less than a minute. Ms. Coy said it is hard to be really positive, because there is no value to our citizens and it is all inconvenience, and asked when there might be a'glimmer that service will be here. Mr. Roberts said they are taking a financial risk and this is, the optimal system but if they are successful they may be interested in expanding. Ms. Coy said we have space for a 900 foot platform in Sebastian. In response to Mayor McPartlan, Mr. Roberts said all improvements-will be for double tracks and it will all be done before they operate-the train. In response to Mr. Gillmor, he said both the passenger and freight trains will ru�n'on both tracks on a schedule. 7.

No public input or action except for City committee membernominations and appointments under this heading. Richard Gillmor gave a report on his attendance at the Florida Institutes of Technology Congressional Briefing yesterday, noted they developed the Indian River Lagoon Research Institute last year and have received funding of $1.1 M funded from St. Johns River Water Management District. He had provided his notes to each member of Council. He said that Dr. Weaver stressed the importance of getting baseline measurements from lagoon. 14.012 A. Planning and Zoning Commission i.

UNFINISHED7BUSINESS 14.022 A. Update on Status` of ;Capital Proiects (Administrative Services Transmittal. ;Capital Proiects Status Report-as of 12/31/13. Approved CIP 2014 -2019) The Interim City Manager said upon the departure of the former City Manager and being named Interim, he instituted' Management Team meetings to increase communications and camaraderie between Departments, had an all hands staff meeting in Chambers to clarifyour expectations of one another, and after the new year embarked with meetings with justthe department heads on projects, needs and wants, and while he thought he had a general. idea of what was going on, it was an eye opener on what was actually happening, a"hd he asked the Finance Director to make a presentation on capital projects and perhaps we can discuss project prioritization, and some of the problems we may have going forward. Finance Director, Ken Killgore, read from the categorized Capital Project Status Report with status explanations on page 42 of the agenda packet, stating he hoped Council understood what staff has been through in the last couple of years with cut backs, noting not all projects can be done at the same time and have to be prioritized. He said the additional page is last year's approved Capital Improvement Program which lists projects anticipated this coming year. He said with the 2015 FY budget process starting, anticipated projects are subject to funding, he stands ready to assist Council and answer questions to best of his knowledge. 4 23 of 82 Regular City Council Meeting January 22, 2014 Page Five The Interim City Manager said Council is probably wondering why this is coming forward now, and advised Council when they look at the list of projects, if there is something there in each of their prioritization schedules, to let him know; that he hears comments from the dais that we have done more with less and he appreciates that, but projects for other departments such as Community Development are not on that list, and he did not want to be known as the person who did less with less, that we need to be sure we have enough resources and manpower that will support what we are trying to do. He asked them to look at the list again and said we can do a one on a one, and try to complete the projects as best we can. B. City Manager - Added Mr. Hill said he was not able to be at the last meeting when the City Manager recruitment process was acted upon, that this is one of the most important decisions that City Council makes, they hire three Charter Officers, and it is,their responsibility to make the right decisions. He said he viewed the last meeting on DVD and found it interesting to hear some of the comments made. Ha said when they started this,process, he felt strongly that it was premature to go forward with hiring Mr. Griffin because we needed to do more diligence to go through the process, and since that time got" in touch with Mr. Griffin, got his resume and had an opportunity to :talk to him about his management and leadership style. He cited comments made by Council Members about Mr. Griffin on January 8 , all of which were positive in favor of Mr. Griffin and that he would be an excellent choice, and he agreedwithall;that was said;, °He said Mr. Griffin has been with us since 2006, then reviewed his resum0, ;cited discussions he had with staff and several community leaders about Mr. Griffin and'it was all good. He noted Mr. Griffin has a BS, MBA, and,JDand.a tremendous'amount ofiexperience. He said Mr. Griffin's resume is more impressive than that of the past two City Managers we hired. He said Mr. Griffin ha §!tremendous life experiences and is trustworthy and all Council Members agree. He said'atthat first meeting he thought it was important not to appoint right out of the gate, but he g`ot to.know him. a, little- better, and he is comfortable with him as are the other Couneilimembers,: and sincelCouncil has said he is already at the top of our list, we probablyVon't get much else. He said a comment by Council Member Adams was `glossed over whehy he said he. wanted a two pronged approach, to look at other people ihthe City and if no one els& is qualified then go out, and Mr. Adams confirmed that was his =intent. Mr. Hill said we have done our due diligence and hired the City Attorney and City Clerk in -house without going through the process and if we go through the process it will cost !up to $10K for background checks and for travel, to end up hiring Mr. Griffin. He said this: is: a. very transparent process and we have the right person now. MOTION by Mr. Hill and SECOND by Mr. Gillmor to suspend recruiting efforts and to appoint Mr. Joe Griffin to the City Manager position and direct a committee to negotiate a contract with Mr. Griffin and present it at the next Council meeting for Council to approve or disapprove, and that committee to consist of Sally Maio, Bob Ginsburg and Debbie Krueger. Ms. Coy said her only problem was that her comments were taken out of context, that Mr. Griffin is a good guy and doing a great job, and she agrees he is a good candidate but more important is her belief in the process of fairness, and the process gives everyone a fair opportunity to apply. She said this is nothing personal, that he is a great guy, but she can't support it because she believes everyone should have an equal 5 24 of 82 Regular City Council Meeting January 22, 2014 Page Six opportunity in the process equitably, and we need to do the process and have a natural outcome. She said it was not difficult the last time. She said it was a little unfair to add on the agenda item when the public was not notified. Mr. Hill apologized and said it was not his intention to take her comments out of context, and noted at the last meeting only one person spoke under public comment and it was favorable for Mr. Griffin. Mr. Adams said he felt we need to go through the process, that Joe is a great guy, but not just hand the job to someone, make it transparent and avoid the impression of a good old boy club. Mr. Gillmor said everyone knows how he feels, and had we done things differently we wouldn't be in this process. He said in light of all the different projects we just saw on our plate, for whoever they choose the learning curve is very steep, citing his difficult experience with learning the process when he was first elected, said we are asking someone new to bone upon projects, the City is at skeleton crewand we are doing more with a very efficient lean crew and to !bring someone in new Will '156 a stretch. He said we will go through the process and we'll be right back to appoint! Joe Griffin, and most importantly City employees are in Joe's camp and they like his like his transparency and management style, and he has:complete confidence in his capability and his character. Mayor McPartlan said he originally_ nom inated.to appoint Mr. Griffin, and then changed his mind at the next meeting to go through the process to be transparent and that's what he will be doing.. Mr. Hill withdrew, his motion. 11. PUBLIC INPUT `I: Graham Cox,;George"Street, Sebastian, Audubon Society Board, said they had received =ij unding for garden boxes in schools, and asked to be on a future agenda to bring a video that, shows what w-6 have done in the kids' own words, all money has been spent and he is asking governments and agencies to chip in to help them build more in some of the other'schools. Mayor McPartlansuggested he get with the Interim City Manager and perhaps he can put him in touch`with the City Natural Resources Board. Mr. Cox encouraged the Council to pass a stronger fertilizer ordinance to be consistent with Indian River County. Jim Sunnycalb reported on an event on January 27th at the North Indian River County at 7 pm with Ilka Daniels and Bruce Dangerfield regarding wildlife dos and donts; and cited his own website sunnyswildlife.com which identifies snakes and birds and other wildlife; and reported on Vero Beach's event in Riverside Park for dogs and he and Ilka Daniels thought such an event would be good for Sebastian. Ms. Coy said she would love to see something like that here and suggested Ilka Daniels could get with the Parks Supervisor. 6 25 of 82 Regular City Council Meeting January 22, 2014 Page Seven 12. NEW BUSINESS 14.023 A.

CITY ATTORNEY MATTERS The City Attorney said Vero Beach is looking to the State to fund improvements that may be necessary for quiet zone funding, as are. other communities and if we are interested in that we may need to get our application in there too in case there is action at the State level. Mayor McPartlansuggested the Interim City Manager put this on his to do list. 14. CITY MANAGER MATTERS The City Manager said although FEC,will make the initial changes to the crossings, the City will be responsible for crossing-maintenance, and we need to keep in the back of our brains what those costs will be when we budget going forward. Ms., Coy said it was mentioned that the last train leaves at 11 pm and we are half way so at 112 :30 am is our last horn, and it might not be worth the effort with the expense. Mr. Hill said it may be worth having an application in. Mr. Griffin said it might be worth it at certain crossings. . 15. CITY CLERK MATTERS None. 16. CITY COUNCIL MATTERS A. Vice Mayor Hill None. 7 26 of 82 Regular City Council Meeting January 22, 2014 Page Eight B. Council Member Adams Mr. Adams asked if we had met with representatives of FEC and suggested we have a workshop to ask the public if they want quiet zones. The Interim City Manager said in October Mayor McPartlan, Mr. Minner and he met with Mr. Roberts and a West Palm law firm, and the reason he brought Mr. Roberts here tonight was so we do not fall behind if we have to go through this application process for quiet zone before construction, noting this will be dual track system and he is thinking about the expense of maintaining the crossings. He said -if it is Council's consensus to do a workshop to get public input, he is open to what, they decide. Mayor McPartlan said he believed FEC will give public presentations for questions and answers, and noted the FEC owns the property :.and allow us to,cross their railroad. Ms. Coy said we can combine their presentation with our workshop,:. and again said we have the space for a station and need tostart lobbying now. Mayor`McPartlan said they are looking at twenty years ahead before possibleaexpansion. Mr. Hill said ridership would go down if they don't'have the three hour travel window. Mr. Adams asked, when they do upgrades to the crossings, if there is anything we need to do, can we schedule it at the same time'.The Interim City Manager reiterated his *., concern about the subsequent crossing, maintenance and now with two rails, the budget number for that maintenance will have #o be considered. C. Couricil' Member: Cov None. D. Council .Member Gillmor 14.023 i. Discuss Methods for Local Testing of City Outfalls and Retention Areas Mr.-:Gillmor said it was brought out yesterday at FIT the need for baseline measurements, and suggested we look at the possibility of getting volunteers. He said he had talked to Dr. McAdams: at the Charter JHS, and perhaps we could get high school kids, enlisting Harbor Branch or FIT grad students to help us look at what we have in our city ditches, canals, and ponds. He described test kits available that test 90 different pollutants, volunteers could gather samples and bring them to the City to log. He discussed testing retention and stormwater parks, and possible effect of the aeration fountain of Easy Street Park pond. Ms. Coy said the pond has no outlet and is fed from runoff. Mr. Gillmor said aeration has been shown to treat nitrogen, and that wetlands can remove nitrogen, citing areas we seeded with wetland grasses which are doing great. He said we cannot control what is in the St. Sebastian which comes from areas outside the city limits and County canals which come through citrus. Ms. Coy asked if the tests tell the difference between septic and fertilizer nitrogen and Mr. Gillmor said it would not. 8 27 of 82 Regular City Council Meeting January 22, 2014 Page Nine Mr. Gillmor said his second point is we were first to pass a fertilizer ordinance, he would like to bring it up again, and saw the value in being consistent with IRC and others. Discussion followed on Ms. Coy's concern for using volunteers collecting samples, because it would lose scientific value and Mr. Gillmor said we would need a grad student to assist. Ms. Coy said we can invite them to do the study and Mr. Gillmor said they can't be here every day. Mr. Hill said you can have staff take samples, and said he would be in full favor of the City Manager coming up with a plan for testing, such as after a major rain event, make sure the tests are consistent and send off to Harbor Branch to determine the source of the nitrogen, whether septic or fertilizer. Ms. Coy again said we can have a grad student from FIT do, it, they have the $1.1 M, because we need someone who is a professional. ° Mr. Gillmor said you don't need to be professional to read a meter, they can get:the samples and bring. it back here to test it, we need a grad student to tell us how and'where to take the water from,.the location and depth of water and then chart it here and`give the results to Harbor Branch or FIT. Mayor McPartlan asked the Interim City Manager: to get with Dr. Lapointe at Harbor Branch or Dr. Weaver at FIT._ ,. Mayor McPartlan said the Friends'dSt: Sebastian River were here at the workshop and said maybe they could do it. Ms. Coy said she would call FIT tomorrow. E. Mavor McPartlan Mayor McPartlan` reported on:the, January 9t' Pioneer Festival at Fisherman's Landing, it was rainy-but they had ;a great turnout, that he was contacted by a journalist from Germany, and.he . and the Clerk sent them some information and there is more to come :from the event.' He noted even :Teddy Roosevelt was there. Mayor. McPartlan spoke about the rains that flooded Ft. Pierce on Jan 9t', noting we don't see. that type of flooding in Sebastian. Ms. Coy said we spent a lot of money on drainage'since 2005. 17.

Step One: Develop the position profile and advertisement This involves active participation with elected officials to determine the position requirements as to experience, education and residency as appropriate. In many cases an existing job description and code or charter provisions are helpful resources. In addition, the elected officials should be actively involved in determining the knowledge, skills and abilities that are important for the position. This includes defining attributes and personal style that is of interest to the elected body. In addition, applicants should have relevant public sector or military senior management experience and be members of ICMA, FCCMA and /or their local state city management association. I feel a profile is important, as it is a core document that describes the community and offers key information to a prospective applicant. It is the face of the community during the search process and presents an opportunity to showcase the community as well as disclose specific issues or concerns of the community or organizational needs. The profile should be reviewed and approved officially by the elected body. This part of the process takes about 30 -45 days and includes preparing the final advertisement. An important component of this phase is determining the compensation and benefits to be offered. Adherence to Florida Records Law is essential. I recommend something like this be included on all job information (profile and advertisement): Florida Law requires that all resumes and application materials received by the City for this position becomes a matter of public record upon receipt by the City. (Please see skills and attributes that other jurisdictions have used in city, town or county manager searches. Also attached is a list of desirable components of a recruitment profile). Step Two: Application processes. This is optimally 60 to 90 days but can be compressed to 45 days if necessary. This is the period where applicants submit their interest, resumes, application documents to the agency. It is important, I think, to require that the applicant submit a signed agency employment application with their resume and cover letter. Usually, an employment application contains assurances and warrants that the information on the application is accurate. Also, the employment application contains a standardized format that is easy to review. Resumes come in a variety of formats and designs making comparative review difficult. Also we have seen cases where a completed employment application revealed discrepancies on the resume that warranted follow -up review. Please see the note on adherence to Florida open records laws in Step 1 above. 1 59 of 82 Step 3: Resume /Application Review Process. This can usually be completed in up to 15 days following the close of the application period. At the conclusion of this period, the Range Riders will submit their recommendations for 10 -12 semi- finalists. In accordance with the Florida open meetings laws, the Range Riders may not discuss the qualifications of the applicants privately among themselves. Any discussion must be in the form of a public meeting. Generally, when the Range Riders determine the 10 -12 semi - finalists, this is done by a conference call that is a noticed public meeting and open to the public. The governing body has the responsibility of selecting the finalists for interviews. This should be done at a public meeting. In the event a member of the governing body feels a candidate not on the Range Rider semi - finalists should be considered, the entire governing body at the finalist review meeting should consider the individual. I generally recommend that 5 -7 finalists be selected for interviews. Some agencies choose to do preliminary interviews of semi -final candidates by video or phone. However, the final candidates should be invited for face -to -face interviews. The assigned Range Rider can assist the governing body select finalists for interview. A preliminary background review of all finalists should be completed before the interview. The cost of such a review is about $400 each. The Range Rider Program does not perform background reviews. Step 4: Interviews. The Range Rider Program can assist the agency at this step of the process by providing interview questions and guidance on facilitating the process, as needed. The governing body should make a determination on whether it plans to reimburse travel expenses for applicants. This needs to be communicated to all applicants being considered for interviews. I recommend that the agency reimburse travel expenses as a usual and customary expense of placement. Generally, airfare, car rental, hotel and incidentals for an out of state applicant will run approximately $1,500- 1,800, with the bulk cost being airfare. In state applicants should be offered hotel accommodations, incidentals and car mileage based on the current IRS rate, which in 2014 is $.56 /mile. The agency or a qualified firm should perform a full background review of the top two candidates. Typically, background review includes work history, reference checks, education verification, social media and media review; possible site visits to the candidate's current community, credit checks and legal or litigation review. A full report on the candidate should be provided to the hiring agency before a final hiring decision is made. The cost of a full background review is about $1,800. Step S: Negotiation of Employment Terms and start date. This work is typically done directly by the agency. The Range Rider Program does not offer assistance in this area of the placement. Resources: International City/City Management Association's (ICMA) Recruitment Guidelines 60 of 82 for Selecting a Local Government Administrator: The handbook lays out a good process for what is perhaps one of the most significant responsibilities of elected officials including: -- Resources available to assist in the process conducting the recruitment -- Reviewing applications -- Identifying and interviewing finalists -- Negotiating compensation Exhibits in the ICMA handbook also present resources and publications available, suggested interview questions, and a summary checklist and timetable. The handbook is available at no cost here and is recommended reading by staff and the governing body. http://icma.org/en/icma/aboutloverview/hiring-manager The link provides a useful checklist of search related activities with the document link at the bottom of the page. Respectfully submitted, Kurt Bressner, ICMA -CM FCCMA /ICMA Range Rider Florida Range Rider Coordinator kbressner @gmail.com 561- 436 -2328 KB: 1/17/14 Attachments: Recruitment Profile Checklist including attributes and traits deemed appropriate and beneficial by other agencies during their recruitment of a city, county or town manager. 3 61 of 82 Key items recommended for a City /Town or County Manager Profile 1. Description of the community that includes a history, location, population and key features of the community. This is an important way to put a face on the community and point out the attributes and benefits of living there. Include distance to major population centers, airports, Disney etc. If there are specific and special venues in the community, include a description of them. 2. Description of the local government. Include also information on the size of staff, form of government (i.e. council- manager form), organization chart, budget synopsis, etc. Include a list of governmental services provided directly and a list of services that the agency contracts for either via private contractor or intergovernmental agreement or municipal services that are provided directly by another governmental agency. (Examples could include library, fire and rescue services.) 3. Duties and functions of the City, Town or County Manager (from the Charter, Code or governing board policy) 4. Challenges, Issues and Opportunities - Here a short list of issues facing the agency over the next two years would be very helpful. Try to be descriptive in one or two sentences for each issue. Include any fiscal or collective bargaining issues that are pending. 5. Requirements for the City, Town or County Manager - Education and experience required. Education and experience desirable. In addition, applicants should have relevant public sector or military senior management experience and be members of ICMA, FCCMA and /or their local state city management association. 6. Knowledge, Skills and Abilities - Here a list of essential skills and attributes followed by important skills and attributes is helpful. (See next page for examples taken from other profiles) 7. Compensation - The profile should disclose a salary range and summary of expected benefits, if possible. Some jurisdictions leave this as something like: "the City ofX offers a competitive starting salary based on qualifications and experience." If the city participates in FRS offer deferred compensation or other pension program, this may be considered as a compensation area to include. 8. Residency - If there is a residency requirement, it should be disclosed as well as when it is effective. 4 62 of 82 9. Application and selection process — Include the summary of the process including the deadline to submit the application and /or resume and how the documents should be submitted. Most jurisdictions require electronic submission of .PDF documents. The instructions should be clear as to whom the resumes should be submitted to. Also, because applications become a matter of public record when submitted, the profile should clearly state this. Also, the process should disclose that applicants would be subject to a background screening. I recommend that the agency require applicants to submit a completed City employment application, especially if signature on the form serves as authorization for background screening. Finalists should sign a release for background checks at an appropriate time. 10. Other documents that should be made available either as exhibits to the profile or as links to documents posted on the agency website: a. City, Town or County Charter b. Agency Budget c. Agency employment application (hopefully, in a fillable .PDF form) d. Key planning or community description documents DESIRED CHARACTERISTICS OF A CITY /COUNTY MANAGER 1. Consensus builder 2.
