Commissioner Constantine discussed the success of the Veteran of
the Month program and noted that there has been a suggestion that they also
think about having a Veteran of the Month for a veteran that has already
passed. The Commissioner stated he is
throwing that idea out there for Ed Burford because he usually picks up these
ideas and runs with them. Nicole
Guillet, County Manager, advised that she thinks Commissioner Constantine will
see his idea realized in May.

-------
Agenda Item #3 – 2018-0555
Mike Orlando, Assistant Bear Program
Coordinator for the Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC), addressed the Board to
present a bear management update. Mr.
Orlando noted that Seminole County passed an ordinance in 2015. They were the first in the state of Florida
and one of the first east of the Mississippi to pass an ordinance. Seminole broke the seal and everyone seems to
be following along. Mr. Orlando began
his PowerPoint presentation (copy included in Agenda Memorandum) and compared
the 2016 and 2017 Statewide Bear Management Activities. He displayed and reviewed a graph
illustrating Statewide Bear Related Calls from 2000 to 2017. With regard to the Bear Management Activities
specifically in Seminole County, Mr. Orlando reviewed a chart comparing Calls,
LE Notices, Captures, Euthanized, Killed, and Relocation/Rehab in 2014, 2015,
2016, and 2017. In 2014, Seminole County
was the number two county in the entire state for the most calls coming into
FWC. In 2016 and 2017, Seminole County
had dropped to number five.
The Bear Activity map was displayed. Mr. Orlando pointed out that the red dots,
which depict 2017 bear calls, are starting to creep into the Oviedo and Winter
Springs areas. He noted that while they
are not talking about expanding the ordinance today, that is something they may
want to consider in the future. He added
he is only pointing it out so the Commissioners can have it as a frame of
reference as they move forward in another five years or so.
Mr. Orlando talked about the BearWise
Awards FY 16-17 Updates, BearWise Funding in FY 17-18, and the BearWise Awards
FY 17-18 Summary. He announced FWC is
buying 3,900 sets of hardware, which are basically straps or latches that go on
cans. They consider those as a great
stopgap between having nothing and having a bear-resistant garbage can. Mr. Orlando discussed the amount of money
that has been disbursed from FWC to Seminole, Lake, Orange, and Volusia
Counties and pointed out that Seminole County has received the most money. With regard to can manufacturers, he advised
that the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) certifies bear-resistant
cans. The County has been using Toter,
but the Kodiak and Rehrig Pacific models have been pretested and both are fully
automated.
Mr. Orlando reported that FWC had media
outlets come to the Central Florida Zoo to observe a couple of these cans being
tested inside the bear enclosure. This
was done throughout the entire state of Florida, and the bears at the Central
Florida Zoo did a great job representing Seminole County. The bears were not able to get into the cans,
and it promoted everything about being BearWise in Florida. Mr. Orlando concluded his presentation by
discussing the effects of BearWise funding and stated they are thinking about
doing a before-and-after survey in Seminole County to try and determine how
effective the cans are and how it is impacting the residents.
Commissioner Carey remarked that the County
has had great success working with the FWC; and when she got elected, she never
thought she would have to learn as much about bears as she has learned. The Commissioner stated her community has
signed up for the program, and there are a number of communities in the county
where the entire subdivision has signed up for the program. Out of the 4,200 cans that they have, they
are all spoken for and they could use some more. She suggested that if Mr. Orlando has some
excess funds, he should keep Seminole County in mind, since they were the first
to set the bar for the FWC.
Commissioner Constantine stated the Board
is very proud of the ordinance, the educational program, and mostly what the
citizens have been able to accomplish.
He mentioned that they have just got Sable Point to do 100%. The County has the wonderful problem of
having more requests than they have cans.
He knows staff is working with FWC and the Bear Warriors to do that stopgap
measure before they can get cans to everyone that wants them. The more that they give out, the more people
want them. He stated he could see this
doubling by next year if the County had the resources. Seminole County will always use any resources
that FWC can provide to continue this process and to continue to move it
forward.
Commissioner Carey stated they just had a recent
email that had some very specific instructions about how to install the bear‑resistant
hinges and latches. She requested that
staff make sure that remains prominent, especially through the spring, because
it is cub season. As they continue to
have new people move into the county that are not familiar with some of the
wildlife issues the county has, the educational process is going to continue to
be very important. Mr. Orlando advised
that all bear cubs are born around February 1; so there are a whole lot of new
bear cubs out in the forest. Chairman Horan advised that the County now includes, as part of
the covenants and restrictions of any subdivision, that they have bear‑proof
cans. He stated what is gratifying to
him is to see the reduction of injury‑related human/bear encounters, and
what reduces that is a knowledgeable citizenry.
Chairman Horan talked about the upgrades
that are being made to the bear‑proof cans and how they operate, and Mr.
Orlando responded that they are constantly making new adjustments to the cans. Commissioner Carey stressed that they still
need to work on the smaller‑sized senior can. Mr. Orlando reported that he has talked to
all three of the main companies, and they are working on 64‑gallon cans
and 32‑gallon cans. Chairman Horan
stated as the market changes, innovation is going to go up. The Chairman expressed to Mr. Orlando that it
has been wonderful working with him and with the FWC.

Chairman
Horan explained that as the president of the National Association of Regional
Councils, Commissioner Dallari is presiding over their national meeting this
week and was not able to be present at today’s BCC meeting.
COUNTY
ATTORNEY BRIEFING
Lynn
Porter-Carlton, Deputy County Attorney, updated the Board regarding the DJJ
litigation. Ms. Porter-Carlton explained
that the County has prevailed time and again in that litigation. The most recent activity is that Chief
Financial Officer Patronis and the Secretary of the Department of Juvenile
Justice appealed the decision in which the County had prevailed. Since then, the Chief Financial Officer has
dismissed his appeal voluntarily; however, the case will now proceed on appeal
by the Secretary of the Department of Juvenile Justice. Ms. Porter-Carlton advised that she will keep
the Board informed. The Department has
until March 12 to file their initial brief, and then the County will file an
answer brief.
ITEMS FOR
FUTURE AGENDA
Sakinah
Bond-Johnson, 215 Cadillac Court, addressed the Board to state that she is a
homeowner. Ms. Bond-Johnson added that
she worships, she resides, she votes, she works, she pays her taxes, and she
attends college in Seminole County. She
informed the Board that in March of 2017 she was approved for a home
improvement grant through the Immediate Needs program. Seminole County hired Pat Lynch Construction
to renovate her two bathrooms. Ms.
Bond-Johnson talked about the problems and issues she has experienced since the
start of the program and displayed a series of photographs (copies received and
filed) depicting the problems.
Ms.
Bond-Johnson submitted emails (received and filed) and explained that she went
through the proper chain of command and went to the Director to get the issues
addressed. Some of the issues have been
addressed, but there are two issues that still remain. She stated she was harassed. Ms. Bond-Johnson advised that Mr. Lynch
intentionally scheduled two inspections without her knowledge for spite so that
she had two failed inspections (copies of the inspections were received and
filed) on her door when she came home.
Ms. Bond-Johnson continued to display the photographs and informed the
Board that there was a leak under the sink.
She discussed the trash she found when they pulled up the baseboard.
Since this
has been brought to the Director’s attention, Commissioner Carey stated she is
hoping there is some resolution going on.
The Commissioner stated that now that the Board and the County Manager
have heard the matter, they can take some action to make sure this gets
fixed. Ms. Bond-Johnson noted that
everything has been fixed except for the two items that remain. She stated Pat Lynch replaced all of the
toilet and sink connectors, but there was a leak under the toilet and Pat Lynch
did not want to replace it. It is
extremely old. She was told it was not
in the scope of work; but if it was not in the scope of work, why did they
replace everything in the two bathrooms except this one that was left behind.
Chairman
Horan confirmed that the grant is under the Immediate Needs grant program,
which is monitored by the Community Services Department. Commissioner Henley asked who the staff
person was that oversaw the project. Ms.
Guillet replied that she does not know who the project manager was but staff
will take a look at the information and try to get the outstanding items
resolved. Commissioner Henley asked
whether all of the inspections have been done, and Ms. Bond-Johnson responded
that all of the inspections have been done except for the final inspection for
the contractor. Commissioner Henley
asked if the job met code during the inspection, and Ms. Guillet answered that
she will have to take a look at it. Ms.
Bond-Johnson stated her shower floor has been replaced three times and grout is
chipping, mold is forming, and the tile is crooked and discolored. She added that it does not drain properly.
Commissioner
Henley asked if staff knows how much the project has cost, and Chairman Horan
asked how much the loan was for. Ms. Bond-Johnson
stated she believes it was $10,000. It
was determined that Ms. Bond-Johnson lives in Commissioner Henley’s
district. Chairman Horan informed Ms.
Bond-Johnson that she brought the issue to the people who can shed light on it,
and they will have the County Manager look over the situation and get back to
her. The Chairman added that the office
that Ms. Bond-Johnson should handle this through is Commissioner Henley’s. He suggested when she wants to dialogue about
this, she should dialogue through Commissioner Henley’s office. Ms. Guillet stated her office can try to
handle it and suggested that Ms. Bond-Johnson speak with Bruce McMenemy, the
Deputy County Manger, right now. She
added that they have people from Community Services here today also. They will try and resolve this.
Commissioner
Carey stated the County does hire contractors to provide services, and it has
been a challenge to get really good qualified contractors who are there for the
long haul. The Commissioner emphasized
that if they have issues with contractors, especially if they have multiple
issues with contractors, she wants to make sure they are not leaving the
contractors out there but are terminating them.
She requested that they make sure they have the right people working for
the County who are trying to help the County’s citizens. Chairman Horan suggested that Ms.
Bond-Johnson work through the County Manager’s Office. He reminded her she is in Commissioner
Henley’s district.
Speaker
Request Form for Ms. Bond-Johnson was received and filed.

Brian
Hall, with Fortress Marine Construction on behalf of the Applicant, addressed
the Board and stated they demolished the previous dock due to damage from the
storm, and they will comply with all requirements in building the new dock.
With
regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in support or in
opposition to Item #22, and public input was closed.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by
Commissioner Henley, to approve the request for a 1,346-square-foot dock on
property located on the north side of South Sylvan Lake Drive, approximately
2,290 feet south of West SR 46, and more particularly known as 7000 South
Sylvan Lake Drive, as described in the proof of publication; Cameron Macon,
Applicant; Approval Development Order #17-56000001.
Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Carey noted that she has already mentioned to staff and
would like to ensure the County Manager is aware so she can follow up on it,
that in most cases, dock heights are 15 feet in most jurisdictions, but
Seminole’s brochure for residential docks still states 10 feet; however, the
Land Development Code says 15 feet. She
added many people in her district had issues with docks that were only 10 feet
high when Hurricane Irma came through because their boats reached the roof of
the docks, which can create damage to both the dock and the boat. She would like the information to be made
consistent.
LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Meloney Lung, Assistant County Manager,
addressed the Board to report that last week, the House and Senate approved
their respective $87 billion spending plans.
The Senate has a $1 million higher budget request than the House, and
they are quite different in some marked areas like environmental issues,
Medicaid funding, and education for K-12 public schools and the 12
universities. She noted the Legislature
has until March 6th to have it completed to meet the closing of
session.
Ms. Lung advised the County’s two
appropriation requests are in both the House and Senate sides of the
budget. The request in connection with
the DJJ is not in the budget, but it will be put in the Senate’s budget and the
House will follow. They have added the
two for a fire station and a fire truck.
Ms. Lung stated she is sure the Board is
aware of some of the home rule issues including the vacation rentals, HB 773
and SB 1400. That is going to prohibit
counties and cities from establishing ordinances and would instead require
local regulation activities to be associated throughout all residential
properties and be applied uniformly. She
noted this is being heard this afternoon in the House Government Accountability
Committee, and their lobbyist and FAC are working to oppose this as well as
Disney.
In regard to tree trimming, SB 574 and HB
521 are the tree trimming, removal and harvesting proposals. SB 574 was in its first committee this
morning, Community Affairs, where it passed 3 to 2. She explained the bill is concerning because
it would preempt local governments’ regulations from pruning, trimming, and
removal of tree vegetation at a single-family residence during a declared
emergency. Additionally, the strike-all
would make local government liable to electric utilities if the local
vegetation management plan practice or ordinance adversely impacts the
electrical company. It would also
eliminate the exemption to allow for protection of historical specimens of
trees. It did pass this morning and they
are following this one closely; however, the House Bill has not been in its
first committee yet.
County Manager Nicole Guillet asked if
anyone from their legislative delegation voted this morning. Commissioner Constantine said he spoke to
Senator Simmons this morning, who is on the committee and had the deciding
vote. Senator Simmons indicated to the
Commissioner that he did not support the bill; he did vote for it but with a
number of changes he said would need to be made and that he could not support
it if it wasn’t fixed. Commissioner
Constantine said he believes the Senator is being considerate to the sponsor
but letting him know that it will not pass any further committees; it still has
three committees to go. He believes it
will not go further but thinks to reinforce their position with Senator Simmons
is important. Chairman Horan questioned
what other committees it would need to go through. Commissioner Constantine stated he thinks
they are Appropriations, Rules, and Environmental Preservation. Ms. Lung said she will verify that.
Commissioner Carey opined they could help
support the community on these kind of issues by not requiring trees that are
going to become big trees to be planted under power lines. They still do that in their Land Development
Code and in their landscape ordinances.
Even though the power company will not let certain species be planted
under their lines, she said the County should just figure out a way to offset
them somewhere else on a site rather than at the power line. She thinks they can help be part of the
solution to what was experienced during the hurricane.
In regard to payday loans, Ms. Lung advised
that SB 640 is the Consumer Finance pilot program; it has been voted on
favorably in the Banking and Insurance Committee, as well as Commerce and
Tourism, so it only has the Rules Committee to go through now. It appears to her that they are totally
rewriting everything that was done in 2001.
The loan limits are being increased from $5,000 to $10,000. There is no database for tracking to ensure
that there is only one loan at a time, so rollover loans could be
possible. Interest rates are increased
and it looks like there is no requirement for credit counseling. Ms. Lung stated they spoke with Alex Setzer,
the County’s lobbyist, today and he is going to go speak to the sponsor on
this.
Lastly, Ms. Lung stated in regard to the
Constitutional Revision Commission, they brought forward 37 proposals and they
are doing 5 public meetings in Fort Lauderdale, Melbourne, Jacksonville, Pensacola
and St. Petersburg. After that, they
will decide which of the 37 they will move forward, and they will see what is
on the ballot at that point. Ms. Lung
indicated she will send the Board a list of the 37 proposals. Commissioner Carey remarked it is interesting
that they don’t have a public hearing planned for Central Florida because the
Central Florida corridor is pretty important to most statewide officials.
Commissioner Constantine stated this County
took a very strong stand about payday loans.
He noted he was very proud to do the 2001 bill that passed both Houses
unanimously. He explained the payday
loans have worked so well because they have gotten rid of the bad players and
they have competition among themselves now.
So it is working so well that they think they can increase and change
it. He pointed out the biggest problem
they had was with the rollovers and now they are instituting the rollovers
again; he opined it is crazy. The
rollovers are what increase the interest rates exponentially.
Commissioner Constantine stated that last
week at the Florida Association of Counties meeting in regard to the
constitutional amendments, they talked a lot about it and they are all happy
that 95 went away. There are still a
couple of proposals that are problematic, 13 and 26, and they are very
supportive of 61. He noted the good news
is the Senate has taken a strong stand on not sweeping Sadowsky and affordable
housing funds; the bad news is the House is sweeping a great deal of it. That is going to be a very strong point of
contention. Unfortunately,
Representative Cortes on this County’s legislative delegation did have a bill
about waiving impact fees, which really isn’t waiving impact fees because they
still have to pay for them. In conversations
with Representative Cortes, he said he has discovered that people are going to
have to pay them anyway. Commissioner
Constantine stated he thinks the Representative has decided to take the impact
fee section out of that bill, so hopefully they won’t have to concern
themselves with that anymore since they already have the option to pay for the
impact fees if they want to, and he opined they should have that option.
Chairman Horan advised he will be going up
to Tallahassee next week and will be meeting with the lobbyist, and they have a
schedule of legislators to meet with with regards specifically to the two items
on DJJ. With regards to the items that
relate to the fire station and also the fire engine, he stated he had a
discussion with Senator Simmons, and those items are still alive. They may need some massaging and it may have
to be in conference if they are able to get those, but there are certain
legislators that need to be talked to with regards to that and they are going
to be identified by Mr. Setzer. He added
he’ll try to get in touch with them as well.
Chairman Horan indicated he will be up there on behalf of the Central
Florida Commission on Homelessness as well, speaking to a number of legislators
on exactly the Sadowsky issue, and they will all be in the House. Hopefully, he can get some kind of an
audience with leadership and see if they can get some kind of a feeling as to
exactly what may cause leadership in the House to see the light on this
particular issue. He said he suspects
that there are other things that leadership needs and that usually identifying
that particular element is what usually turns the day, but eventually the House
and the Senate will find out exactly where they are going to meet on this
because he thinks this is the first year where the Sadowsky affordable housing
issue is really getting a lot of juice.
The problem with it is it is needed quite a bit and so he thinks the
House is probably going to be changing its attitude with regards to that
because there is too much critical mass of effort behind not sweeping
everything. He added that of course last
year, this Board saw that they included a few hundred million dollars, which
was in the Sadowsky fund, which was the first year in the last seven years that
they hadn’t swept every penny of it. So
it is certainly important for Seminole County; they have a couple of projects
that need that funding and they are really hoping that is something they will
start funding again.
DISTRICT REPORTS
District 4
Commissioner Henley thanked the County
Manager for arranging for three volunteers from the Sheriff’s Office and three
from the Fire Department for an event that took place last Friday night. It was entitled “Night Out for Special Needs
Youngsters” and took place at the church at SR 434 in Winter Springs. The volunteers donated their time from 5:30
to 9:30 that night at a very special event.
He described it was a prom night for special needs young people, so the
volunteers at the church helped them get dressed and do all the things to get
ready for a prom. He stated they were
one happy group and noted it is sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation. Tim Tebow was not present because there are
765 churches that were hosting one of these events in 11 countries, but he was
there through video. Commissioner Henley
noted that he did announce through video that each person would be crowned king
or queen and each received a crown or tiara.
He wanted to publicly thank the people who were willing to volunteer
their time for such a special event and they included Sergeant Mike Hawkins,
Deputy Joe Guzman and Deputy Stephanie Byrne from the Sheriff’s Office, and
Lieutenant Mike Hodak and Nick Melton and Matt Humphrey from the Fire
Department.
-------
Commissioner Henley stated in all the years
they have had a contract with the Central Florida Sports Commission, this Board
never had any input into who was representing Seminole County. But under the new contract, this Board has
the right to submit who they would like to have representing them, and he said
he thinks they need to go ahead and fill the position on that board since the
contract is already in force. He stated
he would like to recommend Commissioner Constantine if he is willing to serve
because he thinks he would represent them well.
The Commissioners discussed the issues in connection with serving on a
501(C)(3) organization’s board.
Commissioner Henley noted there is someone representing the County now,
but the Board did not have any input on that, but when the contract was
negotiated, they negotiated that this Board would be able to submit an
additional person, so they would technically have two representatives on the
board.
Motion
by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to appoint
Commissioner Constantine to represent the Seminole County Board of County
Commissioners on the Central Florida Sports Commission Board of Directors.
Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Henley confirmed that Chairman
Horan will send this information to the Sports Commission under his
signature. Chairman Horan stated he
would like to ensure the County Attorney, who has raised all the issues before
about serving on a non-profit’s board, be cognizant of this appointment.
District 5
Commissioner Carey reported she was meeting
with some constituents yesterday to talk about abandoning a portion of a
right-of-way, so she had staff talk to them further about the situation. The situation is they have a road that runs
for two blocks, and the engineering manual requires that for any lot on a road,
that road must be built to county standards.
In this case, there are already two houses on this road, and that road
is not built to county standards because it was probably before the engineering
manual changed in 2015. She opined
sometimes things sound good but there are unintended consequences that start to
crop up that they need to go back and look at.
She stated the existing two houses have a stabilized driveway with
gravel, but there are three other lots.
One recently sold and one has been owned for many years, and the problem
is now they would need to build a road to county standards in order to use
their land. She said that just doesn’t
seem right to her.
Commissioner Carey stated she would like
staff to look at the changes made to the engineering manual that required
that. She noted there are many roads in
her district which are individually platted homes but it’s like a subdivision
and the roads don’t meet county standards because that wasn’t the standard at
the time. Now if someone buys a vacant
lot and wants to build a house, they are told they have to bring the road up to
county standards. She realizes that the
County Engineer can waive some of those requirements, but she doesn’t think the
citizens should be put through that nor does she think it should be that
subjective. Therefore, she would like
them to go back and look at how the language was written and look at these
situations because she knows they have had this situation about a half dozen
times previously, but this one kind of just brought it to a head. You have two people already there and three
people potentially trying to build a house and somebody has to build a county
road to county standard, which basically condemns their property.
Ms. Guillet said they can certainly look at
that but the biggest consideration is access by public safety vehicles. On the other side of that, they have a number
of private roads that are not built to county standards that they have issues
with, either getting access or after they have accessed them, and there has
been damage or some other difficulty.
She stated she thinks they can balance those two interests and she
thinks there is room for improvement.
Commissioner Carey said they still have some dirt roads in this county
and off of Wilson Road, there is a pine needle road and the fire trucks can get
through it; it is cleared and it is stabilized.
She thinks there needs to be some level of access for the Fire
Department with public safety always being their number one priority, but to
have to build a road to county standards is not necessarily the answer.
Commissioner Henley stated he agrees
completely with what Commissioner Carey is saying, but he wants to make sure
that they do not create some unintended consequences. For example, at the Rolling Hills golf
course, all the roads are substandard, so he thinks they should be able to make
exceptions for these types of situations.
He would not want it to come back to them later with people saying they
would like to be exempted. Commissioner
Carey stated she is not talking about a developer coming in and developing more
than one home; she is talking about the individual lot owner. This one lady has owned this lot for years
and intended to retire there, and she is 100 feet in from either direction, and
to be told you have to build a road to county standards in order to be able to
build your house is just not reasonable.
-------
Commissioner Carey noted she had an
opportunity last week to attend the Orlando Economic Partnership barbeque down
on the Boulevard. It was well attended
and it was nice that a Seminole County local restaurant, “Smokehouse at Route
46” in Sanford, was the one barbeque place selected to represent Seminole
County. They were also recognized in Southern Living Magazine on barbeque
places to have on your bucket list, and they were the only one selected from
Florida.
-------
Commissioner Carey said she wanted to give
a shout out and kudos to their stormwater and roads crews; her office is still
getting correspondence from residents who during the hurricane had direct
contact with them. She added they can’t
say enough about what a great job they did, how professional they were, how
important it was to them and how comforted they felt to know they could pick up
the phone and call somebody and actually get somebody to respond.
-------
Commissioner Carey expressed she also
wanted to thank Sunniland Corporation publicly.
She has known the Moore family for many years and she knows that many
people call on them many times for community events and charitable
contributions. She recently called on
them to help with a project in Bookertown.
The Bookertown Community Center was in need of a roof, but they did not
have the money to buy the materials. So,
Tom Moore, the owner, and Chris Frank donated all the roofing materials to
replace the well-worn roof. She knows
the folks in Bookertown are grateful and added she certainly appreciates them
doing that.
District 3
Commissioner Constantine listed the
meetings he will be attending in the near future. He also stated the County will be receiving
an award from the Sierra Club for their fertilizer ordinance. Additionally, he advised the FDOT
stakeholders’ meeting concerning rest areas and truck stops is on February 23rd
at their offices at 10:00 a.m. Chairman
Horan confirmed that is the stakeholder meeting for the district-wide truck
stop study which is going to be held at FDOT’s district office on South Semoran
Boulevard. He advised he cannot attend
because he will be in Tallahassee.
Commissioner Constantine noted he will be going after the Leadership
Seminole meeting, and the Chairman asked that he ensure Commissioner Dallari
knows about it as well. Commissioner
Constantine noted that a lot of their citizens will be there. Chairman Horan added that a lot of the
developers who are looking at those properties should also be there.
-------
Commissioner Constantine said Commissioner
Carey, who was appointed by this Board, and he, appointed by the Governor as
Chairman of the Wekiva Commission, attended a meeting on February 6th
at the Wekiva Springs Park Youth Conference Hall. One of the things that was presented that he
has talked to the County Manager and others about already was that the district
director of the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) was talking
about a grant program in which they would pay 75% of the total amount for
upgraded septic tanks for those that wanted to have them. He believes they had to be in an area like
the Wekiva area; it is statewide and on a first-come, first-served basis. The resident would only have to pay 25% up to
$10,000. He believes there are about 200
available in this area; however, people need to make the request. Commissioner Carey asked the County Manager
to let them know when she has more details.
-------
Commissioner Constantine stated he would
like to get an update at a future meeting on their recycling program. He knows there are concerns about not having
markets anymore, but they also have the goal to be 75% in 2020 and he knows an
increment came from the DEP concerning 2017.
So, he would like to see how they are doing and what the plans are for now
and the long term.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Chairman Horan asked Commissioner Carey to
report on the airport since it is in her district. Commissioner Carey advised it was brought to
her attention yesterday by the County Manager, and she had just gotten the information
as well, that there was an item on the Sanford City Commission’s agenda for
yesterday. It was a request from the
Orlando Sanford Airport which basically would have put a six-month moratorium
on any development completely around the airport with the potential of an
additional six-month moratorium. As she
started reading the background, it said that the County, the City and the
Airport had been in discussions about this for quite some time and that was the
reason they were bringing this forward.
Chairman Horan stated not only did they just get this information
yesterday morning, but they also had not had any discussions about it. Commissioner Carey stated she talked to a
couple of the Sanford City Commissioners and the Mayor, who was just as upset
as she was, because he also serves on that committee as a non-voting member,
and this had not really been discussed at those meetings.
Commissioner Carey advised the Airport had
a workshop prior to their Commission meeting that she could not attend due to a
conflict in her schedule, so she asked Ms. Guillet to attend and Chairman Horan
went as well. After Diane Crews, the
director of the Airport, found out how upset everybody was about it, she
requested the item be withdrawn.
Commissioner Carey did take the opportunity when she did arrive to speak
to the City Commission about it and to set the record straight. She told them they would follow up with a
letter, which Ms. Guillet has drafted and the Commissioner said she has since
reviewed that letter, basically to set the public record straight.
Commissioner Carey stated for the most part, they have a great
relationship with the Airport and with the City of Sanford. Certainly to have something like this come
forward from the Airport was very disappointing and she expressed her
disappointment and concerns to Ms. Crews last night when she was finally able
to have a discussion with her, and she will continue to keep her eye on
it. It has been tabled indefinitely and
in fact, Sanford’s City Commissioner Woodruff added that they have tabled it
forever.
Commissioner Carey advised she has asked for the last full active year
of minutes of their Economic Development Commission meetings and any sporadic
ones in the last six months. The Airport
has hired a real estate advisory company.
Ms. Crews said she would also send the report that came out of there and
Commissioner Carey noted she will be sure to share that with this Board as
well.
Chairman Horan pointed out that as much as
a year and a half ago, maybe even longer, he had some wide-ranging discussions
with the then chairman of the airport board about the property around the
airport, including the County’s property that is close to the existing Sports
Complex. They talked seriously about a
joint study, sharing in a study of the airport property, but apparently they
went ahead on their own and just did a study of the airport property, which to
him is kind of like “drawing an offensive play on a piece of paper but you
don’t put the defense on the field.” It
is always going to work because if you are not going to understand what might
be happening on all of the County land, it doesn’t seem to him to make a lot of
sense to do that study. Commissioner
Carey stated maybe there will be some evidence in the minutes that pointed it
in this direction, but at the end of the day, the Airport’s role is to make
sure that the Airport is developed and growing and sustainable. She remarked that without any notice at all,
this moratorium could have actually happened without the knowledge of
anyone. She thinks the County Manager
should assign some staff to review these City Commission agendas, and maybe
they might want to have staff attend their committee meetings.
Chairman Horan asked what they normally do
in terms of being advised about what is going on in their cities. Ms. Guillet responded that normally they have
very good communication with the cities and she is not sure exactly what
happened here, so this really is not reflective of a normal communication
between the Cities and the County. They
can certainly assign somebody because she thinks it is actually a sound
practice to do that. She stated they are
certainly not opposed to working with the Airport and the City of Sanford to
look at land uses. She does not want any
of what happened yesterday to give anybody the impression that they are not
willing to work with both entities and to collaboratively come up with some
positive suggestions and recommendations for land use patterns around the area
and in other parts of the county. She
also would like to just recognize the City yesterday, because when they
understood that there was some concern with respect to this proposal, they
immediately addressed it and frankly shared their concerns as well. Commissioner Carey added that once Ms. Crews
was aware of all the opposition that was there, she herself requested the item
be withdrawn. Commissioner Carey expressed she was not really going to report on
this since everyone was already aware of it, but she thinks it ended well, and
they will just continue to try to work together to make sure they all do what
is in the best interest of their citizens and landowners.
District 2
Chairman Horan stated he has in his
district the second largest mosque in the nation. He got the opportunity to visit it with other
public officials and business leaders invited by the Husseini Islamic Center to
tour the Masjid Al Hayy mosque. The
County Manager also attended. They had
several speakers who explained some of the customs, practices and traditions of
the Islamic faith. Commissioner Carey
added that it is very elaborate and the craftsmanship inside is totally so “old
world”; they brought craftsmen in from various countries to do a lot of that work. The mosque used to be in her district before
the lines were redrawn, and it was a very controversial structure because it
has a 100-foot spire in the middle of a somewhat rural and residential
area. She opined they have, hopefully,
all learned to be good neighbors and work together out there. Chairman Horan noted it was $20 million and
is 42,000 square feet. The interior is
gorgeous and much of the mosque is made up of classrooms with up-to-date
technology. He thanked the Center for
hosting the event and inviting all the public and business leaders to it. He noted if you get a chance to see this
house of worship, it is truly unique and beautiful.
-------
Chairman Horan announced there is another
seat available to them on the work force board, CareerSource. They currently have three seats occupied by
Wendy Brandon, Richard Sweat, and David Sprinkle. He stated he has a gentleman that was
nominated by the construction industry who is a CFO and partner of a Longwood
engineering firm called MiGre Engineers.
He wants to throw that open because he does not see any reason why they
should not take advantage of having another board member. Commissioner Carey asked whether the Chairman
is going to confirm with Mr. Matthew Walton that he would like to serve and
then bring it back for a formal recommendation, and he replied that he will.
-------
Chairman Horan reported he attended the
Cost of Poverty Experience on February 7th that was sponsored by the
Central Florida Commission on Homelessness here in Seminole County. He stated they are the only county that
sponsored their own simulation. It was
also co-sponsored by the Sheriff’s Office.
He explained basically, you simulate a family in poverty and you go
through a three-week set of circumstances over a three-hour period that
simulates what the poverty experience is all about. He learned so much about what it is like to
live on the edge, and he described what happened to his “family” in the
simulation. He indicated it really opens
your eyes to the kind of institutional impediments and just fate impediments of
living in poverty and how easy it is to slip into homelessness. He said it was a great experience and that he
hopes Osceola County takes it up as well.
-------
Chairman Horan thanked staff in Economic
Development & Community Relations along with those in SGTV in connection
with preparation for the “State of the County.”
He opined they had a great year and he is looking forward to telling
everybody about their citizens and how resourceful this county is in the face
of wildfires, hurricanes, opioid addiction, Zika, and Puerto Rican evacuees.
