(OOCEA) Public Information Officer, addressed the Board to give an update on
the Wekiva Parkway. She displayed a
PowerPoint Presentation (received and filed) and stated she is pleased to provide
an update of a long-awaited project. She
displayed and reviewed the Funding Partners for the Wekiva Parkway
project. She reviewed a map showing the
need for building the Wekiva Parkway; the Project Description; and FDOT/OOCEA
going a long way to help protect nature.
She stated the Wekiva Parkway will be the first in Central Florida to
use All Electronic Tolling, and she explained the improvements and enhancements
this will create. Ms. Brooks continued
by reviewing the Project Economic Impact; an overall map of the project
sections; Design Status showing the sections, Milestone and Submittal Schedule;
and the overall Schedule of Sections 1A through 8.
Ms. Brooks continued by displaying and reviewing the Pier Option
and Typical Sections. She reviewed the
following Expressway Authority Sections:
1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2C - Pond Contours.
Alan Hyman, FDOT District 5 Director of Transportation,
addressed the Board to review the following FDOT Sections: 3A, 3B, and 4A & 4B. He displayed copies of pictures showing the upcoming
construction of Sections 4A and 4B. He
continued by reviewing Section 5, Section 6 – West (moving along the main line
from the current construction), and Section 6 – East (toward Sanford and
I-4).
Mr. Hyman displayed and briefly reviewed the Wekiva River Bridge
Profile; User’s View of the Wekiva River Bridge; Wekiva River Bridge Layout;
Wekiva River Bridge Cross Sections; and Wekiva River Pedestrian Rail. He displayed and reviewed Section 7A – West;
Section 7A – East; and Sections 7B and 8.
Mr. Hyman displayed a map showing the approximate dates when construction
will be completed for each section. He
concluded his presentation by reviewing “What’s Next.”
Mr. Hyman explained for Commissioner Carey what will happen if
Section 7A is not completed, why there is a difference when construction is
completed, and why Section 4 is the first one being built.
Discussion ensued between Chairman Dallari and Mr. Hyman
relative to typical sections along Sections 7 and 8 and landscaping along the
service roads. Chairman Dallari
requested Mr. Hyman to send the Board renderings of what the landscaping would
look like along the service road. Mr.
Hyman stated there will be no lighting on the Wekiva Parkway and there will be
no provisions for toll booths or cash transactions. Ms. Brooks stated she will provide the Board
with a copy of the PowerPoint as well as highlight the typical section.
Brett Blackadar, County Engineer, addressed the Board to explain
for Chairman Dallari that staff is continuing to coordinate with the value of
the water line. There are several pieces
of property that FDOT needs as part of this project and that money will be used
in the future towards the water line.
Commissioner Carey stated a lot of the residents along SR 46 will
be coming out of their subdivisions under this bridge and she wants to make
sure that the finishes are carried throughout into Seminole County. She stated it is obvious that a concrete
bridge isn’t going to be very attractive and she would like mature landscaping
installed. She said she is still waiting
to see how FDOT is going to achieve the parkway-like feel as that is in the
guidelines in the Wekiva Parkway Act.
Mr. Hyman stated FDOT will be working with the Expressway
Authority on the type of aesthetic features of the walls and the landscaping. He stated FDOT will provide aesthetic
renderings at their public meetings in the fall.
-------
At the request of Chairman Dallari, Tad Stone, Public Safety
Director, addressed the Board to advise that the Fire/Rescue/EMS and the Division
Chief have been selected to receive awards.
He stated the Seminole County Fire Department became one of three
accredited agencies in the State of Florida to obtain certification for
delivering emergency medical services.
The State of Florida recognized the Seminole County EMS as the premiere
EMS agency for this state. He added
Division Chief Ivan Mustafa was also selected as the EMS Nurse Practitioner for
the State of Florida. Mr. Mustafa has
done wonders in bringing this system up over the past several years to what it
is today. The awards will be presented
at the Medical Director’s meeting in July.
He said he will bring this back to the Board when they receive
information on it.

-------
Request to approve a Corrective
Mortgage Deed and Corrective Restrictive Use Covenant for the group home owned
by American Living, Inc., for occupancy by developmentally disabled males, was
presented.
Commissioner Carey stated there is a
restriction in the deed that residents had to come from Seminole County and this
request is to delete that restriction.
She stated she finds it hard to believe that Seminole County doesn’t
have six disabled residents that need this type of facility. She added she has concerns taking that out because
the disabled males in Seminole County would then have nowhere to go.
Buddy Balagia, Community Services,
addressed the Board to state the agency who runs the home informed staff that
it would be difficult to find that many males to fill the home. He stated the agency indicated that the
disabled males are assigned, but staff can check into this further.
Commissioner Carey stated before any
action is taken, she would like to confirm with people that work with those who
have disabilities in the community. She
stated she finds it hard to believe that this county does not have six male
individuals that could use this type of housing. Commissioner Henley stated he has the same
concerns.
Commissioner Horan stated he feels the
restrictive covenant is a very good protection for the County. If the agency is having a problem filling the
beds because of this restriction, rather than taking the restriction out and
executing a lot of new legal documents, they may be able to use a less-restrictive
type of remedy, such as a simple letter agreement, indicating that until the
facility is filled, the County will waive their right to enforce the
restrictive covenant. He stated he would
also like to find out if they can fill the facility with Seminole County
residents. If they can’t, he would hate
for those that are there now to be jeopardized by the County’s enforcement of
the restrictive covenant.
Chairman Dallari stated he would
agree, but he would need to see if they can fill the beds with Seminole County
residents.
Commissioner Carey stated that trying
to find appropriate housing for anyone with disabilities is difficult,
especially for low and very low income households. She said her concern is Seminole County’s
monies were used in renovation, and the County’s residents should have
priority.
Chairman Dallari recommended
continuing this item so that staff can do more research and bring it back to
the Board. Commissioner Carey stated she
would like to know if they have six residents there now and whether they are
residents of Seminole County.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan to continue request to
approve a Corrective Mortgage Deed and Corrective Restrictive Use Covenant for
the group home owned by American Living, Inc., for occupancy by developmentally
disabled males.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Request to
approve the final plat for the Steeple Chase Subdivision containing
142 lots on 116.74 acres zoned PD (Planned Development), located on the south

presented.
Commissioner Constantine stated he originally voted against the
additional properties that were approved and he wants to be consistent in
voting against this item.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan to approve the final plat for the
Steeple Chase Subdivision containing 142 lots on 116.74 acres zoned PD (Planned
Development), located on the south side of Lake Mary Boulevard, east of Markham
Woods Road, Taylor Morrison.

PUBLIC
HEARINGS
BRENTHURST LARGE SCALE FLU AMENDMENT
AND
REZONE/RM Strategies and
Greene Hill Investments
Proof of
publication, as shown on page ________, calling for a public hearing to
consider transmittal of a Large Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from
Suburban Estates to Low Density Residential and the associated Rezone from A-1
(Agriculture) to R-1A (Single-Family Dwelling) to the State Land Planning
Agency, for 39.29 acres located on the northeast corner of Sipes Avenue and Pine
Way, Randy Morris, received and filed.
Kathy
Hammel, Development Services, addressed the Board to present the request. The applicant is proposing to develop a 39.29
parcel of land that currently has Suburban Estates land use and an A-1 zoning
classification. The applicant is
requesting a maximum density of four dwelling units per buildable acre at this
site. The request for the Low Density
Residential Future Land Use and the R-1A Zoning will be considered at the final
adoption of the Land Use Amendment if the Board decides to transmit this
request. The development trend in this
area along East Lake Mary Boulevard has been for single-family
development. To the west of this, the
City of Sanford has approved approximately 900 to 1,000 single-family
developments ranging from 40-foot lots to 70-foot lots. Seminole County has also approved a
development with PD zoning that is just to the east of this site. The Planning & Zoning Board recommended
authorization of the transmittal and staff recommends authorization as well.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Hammel advised the County has a Joint
Planning Agreement with the City of Sanford, which requires everything south of
Pine Way to be one unit per acre.
Randy
Morris, applicant, addressed the Board to introduce Luke Classon, IBI Group,
who will present a PowerPoint presentation on the project (received and filed).
Mr.
Classon addressed the Board and displayed an aerial map of the site plan. He advised if the FLU Amendment is approved,
it would allow for up to four units per acre, which would be approximately 157
units. They are currently proposing 116
units. He advised the proposed site plan
has been through one round of review by staff and they have resubmitted it.
Mr. Morris
displayed the Future Land Use map. He
discussed the surrounding land and advised that the City of Sanford has
approved 40-, 50-, and 60-foot lots; however, they are proposing 75 by 125-foot
lots. He displayed the development trend
of surrounding properties. He stated the
reason this area never entered into an interlocal agreement is because it is
high-density corridor development, as planned by the City of Sanford and the
County.
Mr. Morris
advised they agree with staff’s recommendation of four units per net buildable
acre. He added that they pass
concurrency regarding the School Board requirements and any concurrency
requirements regarding transportation.
Mr. Morris
advised that they are not asking for any exceptions to the Land Development
Code in any part of their application and will not in the future.
Mr. Morris
displayed a map indicating the rural boundary line. He explained that the land has a rural
appearance because some of the housing units are on sites with several acres,
but this is in the urban section of the county.
He advised there was intense development scheduled by Sanford along the
East Lake Mary Boulevard corridor up to SR 46 leading up to the bridge to
Volusia County.
Mr. Morris
displayed a Future Land Use map depicting where an industrial warehouse office
is to be built.
Mr. Morris
advised that in 1991 this area was adopted as one of three key targeted areas
for development in Seminole County. He
added that the Board reaffirmed it in April 2002 when they accepted the
strategic plan for economic development put together by the business
community. He discussed the strategic
plan and the three development areas and advised they are proposing to put in
larger-sized lots than the majority of the trend.
Mr. Morris
displayed an aerial map of where the location will be in relation to the Seminole
County Sports Complex and indicated it will be an intense tourist development
and recreational activity site.
Mr. Morris
discussed the investment in and nature of the airport. He advised the airport is currently a $1
billion economic development center and recently went over 2 million passengers
for the first time. He added it has
indirect and direct employment anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 people and is one
of the economic engines of Central Florida.
He stated that the County has been planning for the growth of this area
and has already invested over $50 million in the expansion to set up the growth
of the area.
Mr. Morris
advised that while putting Lake Mary Boulevard in, the County made an agreement
with the City of Sanford that they will put in water and sewer lines for future
development. Mr. Morris then displayed a
site plan of the Kentucky Square project.
Mr. Morris
displayed photographs and discussed the different sizes of homes they are
proposing for this project and the price range of these homes. His firm researched the Seminole County
Property Appraiser’s records on the value of the homes on Sipes Avenue and
realized they were significantly discounted from real valuations because of the
economic crisis that just passed. He
reviewed average prices of the existing homes and compared them to the proposed
project.
Nicole
Guillet, Acting County Manager, clarified that the minimum lot size for this
project would be 9,000 square feet.
Pastor Ron
Williams, 2815 Copper Ridge Court, addressed the Board to state that he will be
speaking on behalf of Palmetto Avenue Baptist Church, Liberty Christian School,
and the majority of people who live in Seminole County.
Pastor Williams stated that
Seminole County has had such success in their growth because of the visionaries
that wanted to change it. He opined that
for the County to grow from 50,000 people to its current population of 400,000,
there had to be 7,000 people a year moving into Seminole County. He expressed that he feels the revenue from
this subdivision’s property taxes will be a great asset in improving county
roads, parks, and schools.
Kevin
Spolski, 3850 Sipes Avenue, addressed the Board to state he is in opposition to
this project. He displayed a PowerPoint
presentation (received and filed) and discussed the site plan, conservation
area, the average home and lot sizes in the area, summary information from the
staff findings, and the existing right-of-way and the expanded roadway.
Don Orser,
3749 Sipes Avenue, addressed the Board to state his concern is that people
living in this proposed development will be using Sipes Avenue to get to Lake
Mary Boulevard. He opined a subdivision
will not fit in the corner of an existing neighborhood.
Diane
Sorel, 2980 Pine Way, addressed the Board to advise she is not in support of
this project. She expressed her concern
with what will happen to her property and Lake Jesup to accommodate this
development. She added that there are
plenty of available and foreclosed homes in Sanford currently.
No one
else spoke in support or in opposition.
Speaker
Request Forms were received and filed.
Mr. Morris
stated the minimum size of their homes will be 2,300 square feet. He advised what drives the price and size of
the homes is the cost of the land as well as the on-site and off-site
improvements. He stated the site plan
that Mr. Spolski displayed was a conceptual site plan and the final site plan
will be presented in a few months after they clear two hearing processes. He stated he believes under the right-of-way
map, they can widen the road to 20 feet, which they will pay for.
Mr. Morris
stated they believe the utilities will fit.
He advised, by a utilities agreement, this land will be serviced by the
City of Sanford. He said when the
utilities are run down Sipes Avenue, any landowner along that route will have
the option, but not the requirement, of hooking up to those utilities. He added they have buffers to the south and
recreation in the site plan.
Mr. Morris
discussed the timeline of approvals needed for this project.
Commissioners
Dallari, Carey, Henley, Constantine, and Horan disclosed their ex parte
communications with Mr. Morris and Mr. Spolski.
Commissioner Carey submitted written ex parte communications into the
record (received and filed).
Commissioner Horan advised his decision on any application or agenda
item will be based on the evidence adduced at this public hearing with no other
consideration.
Commissioner
Carey stated that although the low-density allocation is up to four units per
acre, she does not want the applicant to believe that she supports four units
per acre on this project. She asked
staff to look at this area and the surrounding areas and see how it will
develop out. She said regarding the
zoning, she can support an R1-AA, which is 2.5 units per acre when the time
comes. She advised she supports the
transmittal, but not the R1-A zoning.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Horan, Ms. Hammel advised that the zoning they are
proposing is consistent with the FLU Amendment to Low Density Residential,
which does meet the requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms.
Hammel stated that the zoning allows one unit per acre in Suburban Estates.
Commissioner
Horan discussed his concerns with this project.
Motion by Commissioner Horan, seconded
by Commissioner Henley to authorize transmittal of the Large Scale Future Land
Use Map Amendment from Suburban Estates to Low Density Residential, and the
associated Rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to R-1A (Single-Family Dwelling), to
the State Land Planning Agency, for 39.29 acres located on the northeast corner
of Sipes Avenue and Pine Way, as described in the proof of publication, Randy
Morris.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Henley stated he feels it is important to get the
opinions and recommendations from the land planning agencies before they deal
with the issues mentioned today.
Commissioner
Constantine stated he feels the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) has
not been a land planning agency. He
opined that the Board does not need to go to the DEO. He expressed his concern with the problems he
feels will be generated by this project.
Commissioner
Carey stated she agrees with the motion because the rezone is not being
considered at this time.

consider request to Rezone from M-1A (Very Light Industrial) to M-1
(Industrial) for 1.82 acres located on the west side of Hickman Circle and
approximately one-quarter mile north of West SR 46, Grund Investment Group I,
LLC, received and filed.
Cynthia
Sweet, Development Services, addressed the Board to state the subject property
is developed with a 24,300 square-foot industrial warehouse and is consistent
with the requirements of the Land Development Code and also complies with the
M-1 zoning regulations. Rezone of the
subject property to M-1 will increase the allowable uses that are not permitted
in the M-1A zoning district. A list of
the permitted uses and special exceptions in the M-1 zoning district is
included as an attachment to the report.
The proposed rezone is compatible with the surrounding property’s future
land use and zoning designations. The
M-1 zoning district is consistent with the Seminole County Comprehensive
Plan. The Planning & Zoning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval and staff recommends
approval of the request.
Gary
Grund, applicant, addressed the Board to state he supports staff’s
recommendation.

spoke in support or in opposition.

recommends approval and staff recommends approval of the request.
Larry
Poliner, RCE Consultants, on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Board to
state he is available for any questions the Board may have.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey,
Mr. Poliner advised that the lower site in the front will have all the ponds,
so there will be an almost 250-foot buffer.
They will then have a 9,000-square-foot office with employee
parking. The facility will be placed
behind there and they will be putting the signage on the walls. Upon further inquiry, Mr. Poliner stated
there are no plans to access onto Cameron Avenue.

LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
Meloney
Lung, Resource Management, addressed the Board to advise she is working on the
preparation of a document that she will provide to the Board whenever the
Governor signs or vetoes pertinent legislation.
Ms. Lung
stated that SB 230 in regard to the Central Florida Expressway Authority has
not yet been signed by the Governor. HB
5001 is in connection with the budget and some of the appropriations that
Seminole County receives from that include $4 million for SR 426 and CR 418
from Pine Avenue to Avenue B; $1 million for SR 436 at Tuskawilla Road;
$500,000 for nutrient reduction at Lake Jesup and Lake Monroe watersheds; and
$500,000 for Fort Mellon amphitheatre in Sanford.
Ms. Lung
reported that hurricane supplies sales tax relief was just completed, “Back to
School” tax cuts are from August 1 through Aug 3, and tax cuts for energy
efficient appliances are scheduled for September 19 thru September 21.
Ms. Lung advised that SB 156
reduced tag fees for citizens; so there is a savings of roughly $25 for a
normal class vehicle, which is about what it was in 2009. Chairman Dallari asked Ms. Lung to find out
if a two-year tag was purchased, whether there will be any refund from the
State.
Ms. Lung
stated that HB 7095, which is to create a sports development program that would
enable professional sports franchises to compete for new sales tax money, has
not been signed yet.
Ms. Lung discussed legislation that
failed including three different bills on Florida retirement, the Springs Act
bill and an Environmental Regulations bill.
In regard to the monies owed to the
County by the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), they held a hearing in
Tallahassee last Friday and there were representatives from many counties
expressing their concerns. She stated
that Arnold Schneider in the County Attorney’s office advised they continue to
work on the issue and will update the Board should something happen.
Commissioner
Horan stated that since the Legislature did nothing and the DJJ rules were
invalidated, the DJJ basically just started passing new rules, and the
allocations appeared to be strangely similar to the ones that were just
validated by the court; however, this county is out of that system now.
Commissioner Horan said he attended
the Seminole Chamber of Commerce sessions regarding legislation and he
specifically asked the question about the plan for the legislative delegation
going forward to refund the money that is owed by the DJJ back to the
County. Representative Brodeur took the
question and then gave a very good summary of the situation that Seminole
County finds itself in. He understands
the history of the way the $4 million was calculated and he said they will
propose some kind of legislation; he did put something in the house bill which
was basically an earmark in the budget for that money to be paid. There was no matching Senate bill and of
course, it died.
CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
Chairman
Dallari advised they received a letter from Ray Valdes, Tax Collector,
requesting authority from the Board to attend as a voting delegate of Seminole
County at the National Association of Counties (NACo) Annual Conference.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded
by Commissioner Horan, to approve the request to authorize Ray Valdes, Tax
Collector, to attend the upcoming NACo Annual Conference as a voting delegate
of Seminole County.
Commissioner
Carey advised there is a Florida representative up for 2nd vice
president this year, so it is important that Mr. Valdes attend and she has
talked to him about that.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Chairman
Dallari requested approval of a letter stating that Crime Line of Central

Commissioner

The Board voiced no objections.
-------
Chairman
Dallari reported that CareerSource Central Florida is requesting the
reappointment of Wendy Brandon to the CareerSource Board of Directors, private
sector seat representing Seminole County, for another three-year term from July
1, 2014 thru June 30, 2017.
Motion by Commissioner Horan, seconded
by Commissioner Henley to reappoint Wendy Brandon to the CareerSource Board of Directors,
private sector seat representing Seminole County, for another three-year term
from July 1, 2014 thru June 30, 2017.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Chairman
Dallari requested the appointment of Nicole Guillet as the County’s representative
on the CareerSource Central Florida Board.
This individual needs to be someone from the Economic Development
sector. In November of 2012, the County
appointed Taylor Pancake; however, Mr. Pancake no longer serves as the Vice
Chairman of the Seminole County Port Authority (SCOPA) Board, and therefore, he
cannot serve as the County’s representative on the CareerSource Board.
Motion by Commissioner Horan, seconded
by Commissioner Constantine, to appoint Nicole Guillet to the CareerSource
Board of Directors, representing Seminole County.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Chairman
Dallari thanked Gary Akers for his hard work on the bond deal for the Sports
Complex. He stated that there are some
additional bond refinancing opportunities coming up and he would like to go
back out on the street for their underwriters.
He said he would like the Board’s permission to ask staff to do that
since some of the underwriter teams have changed quite a bit over the years and
he wants to make sure that they meet the refunding of some of these bonds that
are coming up.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Chairman Dallari advised there is no
expiration. They were going to do it
before the Sports Complex came up but then decided to wait until that deal was
completed.
There was consensus of the Board to direct staff
to go out to investment banking firms with an RFQ or an RFP in order to put
together a new underwriting team.

DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS/COMMITTEE REPORTS
Commissioner Carey stated she is
the BCC’s representative on the SCOPA Board and she has a conflict with the
Port Authority Board meeting on June 18.
She advised that in the Port Authority Board’s budget, they were
proposing a 5% salary increase for staff and they have only two staff
members. One just recently had a
sizeable adjustment, and she does not think a 5% increase is appropriate, which
she expressed at the last meeting. As a
result, they took action to continue the budget item until the next meeting in
order to gather more information. Some
of the information that she found in her research includes: the City of Sanford is going to give a 1%
cost-of-living raise this year with an opportunity for up to a 2%, one-time
bonus; the Airport put 3% in their budget, but the president has told her that
he anticipates there will probably end up being a 2% increase; and none of the
cities that she talked to is proposing more than a 3% increase.
Commissioner Carey requested that
since she will not be able to attend the next SCOPA Board meeting, due to a
conflict with the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) Conference, that a
letter be drafted and sent from either the BCC or the County Manager on behalf of
the BCC to the Port Authority Chairman regarding the salary increase issue.
Commissioner Carey added that SCOPA
had a master plan that showed the County would receive about $1 million back
from the Port Authority on a yearly basis.
However, there has only been one year they came close to that, even
though the revenues out there are pretty great and they have about a 35% profit
margin. The other issue is that Irene
Dolgner just retired, so the second and only other employee out there, besides
the Director, is barely coming up on a year before these increases will take
effect.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded
by Commissioner Henley authorizing formal correspondence to the Seminole County
Port Authority Board Chairman stating that a 5% increase is out of character
with the community of public agencies, as SCOPA is a public agency, and that
somewhere between 1% and 3% would be more applicable to the economy.
Commissioner
Horan stated he does not know how much the Port Authority Director is getting
paid compared to other Port Authorities or economic development groups. Commissioner Henley opined that the Director
is compensated very well. Commissioner
Horan stated he would like to see the letter because he doesn’t want to find
out, as they are going through the budget process, that they are giving their
Port Authority Director a 2% or 3% raise, and then find out that other
directors similarly situated might be making more. He said he believes that every employee
should be compensated based upon their contribution to the organization.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Upon
inquiry by Ms. Guillet, Commissioner Henley responded that she should write the
letter.
-------
Commissioner
Carey reported that at the Sanford Airport Authority meeting on June 2, there
were a couple of things that were announced on the economic front. Allegiant Airlines is celebrating their 15th
year of service offering low-cost air service to sunny vacation
destinations. Domestic travel for the
month of May was up 21% over last year; however, international travel is down
33% and that is due to Thomas Cooke no longer offering that charter out of
Sanford, but the airport continues to grow.
-------
Commissioner
Carey reported that as the Board’s representative on the Commission on
Homelessness, she attended the May 22nd meeting where there was a
release of a report entitled, “The Cost of Long-Term Homelessness in Central
Florida.” She said she forwarded copies
to the Board members and then read aloud some of the information contained
therein. She added that the Board will
need to discuss solutions and make some decisions about funding.
Commissioner Carey stated that
Valmarie Turner, Community Services Director, does an excellent job and is
recognized among her peers in this community as someone who really has focused
on the homeless issue and rapid re-housing for families.
Commissioner Horan commented that
when looking at some of the surveys and polls about how to address the homeless
situation, as a public body and public officials, they have a lot of work to do
in terms of educating the public because that report showed demonstrably that a
housing-first type of approach to this problem saves a lot of money. He said he believes they have a duty to
address the issue with the public and to educate the public as to exactly what
the dollars and cents are.
Commissioner
Carey stated that when people talk about homelessness, the first thing they
think about is the person standing on the side of the street holding a sign and
it is a much broader and deeper issue.
You don’t see the families with children, and domestic violence has a
huge impact on the homeless population of women and children, so she said she
was happy to see that they recognized that in the report as well.
-------
District
Commissioner Dallari congratulated Valmarie Turner and the Community Services
staff who have been selected as the recipient of the National Community
Development Week Award and thanked them for representing the County so well and
helping the community. He stated that
this is a national award for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Video
and Fair Housing Act contest. He said it
is also important to thank the staff in Graphics and SGTV who put that all
together.
-------
Commissioner
Horan attended the grand opening of the CareerSource Central Florida center at
1209 W. Airport Road in Sanford on June 5th and he encouraged
everyone to visit the facility. He said
there were a number of people there during the open house who were already
being assisted.
-------
Commissioner
Horan attended the Economic Development Commission Board meeting in Osceola
County on May 28th and said he reported on the citizens of Seminole
County voting to approve the one-cent sales tax. The attendees broke into an ovation and it
was revealing to him how much the economic development community thought of the
initiative that was put to the people.
-------
Commissioner
Horan stated the Seminole Work Opportunity Program (SWOP) is having their first
annual fundraiser on June 17 at the Casselberry Senior Center. He added the County supports SWOP through the
Community Services agency contributions and it’s a worthwhile cause and should
be a lot of fun. He asked that the Board
members pass along the flyer and the email he had sent.
-------
Commissioner
Constantine drafted a letter endorsing the Central Florida Zoo’s application
for a Cultural Affairs Facilities Grant to fund construction of a new Guest
Services building. He said he represents
the BCC on the Central Florida Zoo’s Board and asked for any input from the
Board and for authority to then send it.
Motion by Commissioner Constantine,
seconded by Commissioner Carey authorizing correspondence endorsing the Central
Florida Zoo’s application for a Cultural Affairs Facilities Grant.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Carey suggested that the letter (copy received and
filed) be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the Board of County
Commissioners.
-------
Commissioner
Carey advised she is working with Florida Fish & Game who want to have a
roundtable discussion regarding a bear exhibit for educational purposes at the
Zoo.

Constantine attended, on behalf of the BCC, the MetroOrlando Defense Task Force
on May 15 at the Economic Development Council’s (EDC) office concerning “Hope
and Help” from the State of Florida and their lobbying efforts.

-------
Commissioner Constantine said that
he and Commissioner Henley may be attending a Rolling Hills neighborhood
meeting concerning the future of the golf course and he has asked the County
Attorney to notice the public meeting.
Commissioner
Henley reported that two individuals met with him two months ago advising that
they wanted to close the golf course and develop it. They bought it for $1.3 million at the height
of the real estate market and said they were losing $90,000 per year. He explained to them that it is not the
government’s responsibility to make it profitable and told them that the roads
in the area are substandard. He doubted
also they would be able to get permits to put more septic tanks in. He recently saw a flyer calling for a meeting
at the Rolling Hills Country Club to discuss its future. The golf course has been listed for $1.5
million.

MANAGER’S REPORT
