COUNTY ATTORNEY’S BRIEFING
Bryant Applegate, County Attorney, advised
the Court has ruled in the Putnam County Environmental Council case where the
group challenged the permits for the St. Johns River Yankee Lake project; the First
DCA per curiam affirmed the decision ending the case once and for all. He stated he has requested outside counsel to
inquire whether or not fees and costs are recoverable. Upon Chairman Horan’s request, Mr. Applegate
explained for the record that Putnam County Environmental Council is an
environmental group that challenged two of the permit requirements pertaining
to the withdrawal of water from the St. Johns River, which were granted by the
St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). He added it was a long battle for a couple of
years, but their decision was unanimous in favor of the County. Chairman Horan stated that basically the
County’s permit to take surface water is approved.
-------
Mr. Applegate stated that Commissioner
Dallari had asked at a previous meeting whether or not the express lanes on SR
417 from I-4 to Lake Jesup are required to be on the Transportation Improvement
Plan (TIP) of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). He noted it is the legal opinion of his
office that the express lanes do not have to be listed on the TIP. He advised they have done extensive research
both in the record and under the law.
They will send a letter today both by email and hard copy to Steve
Bechtel, who is the attorney for the MPO, stating the County’s position. The express lanes are not currently funded and
not currently designed, even in the preliminary stage, and there are also other
legal arguments on statutory interpretation.
Commissioner Dallari opined it is important
because he wants to make sure they are vetting out any and all issues prior to
the MPO meeting which will take place tomorrow.
He added that due to the Sunshine Laws, he and Commissioner Constantine
cannot discuss this outside of that meeting, and he wanted to make sure they
have all the information, which is why he asked that this be looked at. He thanked Mr. Applegate and his staff for
their work.
Commissioner Carey mentioned that every
time they have approached the Turnpike or the Secretary of Transportation
regarding the potential purchase or something about SR 417, the first thing
they do is question how the County can afford to buy that when they owe them
$200 million. She stated the County’s balance
was $150 million and the Board had voted unanimously to pay that off at their
last meeting. She opined that will stop
that conversation from being the first thing they have to say. So, they are moving forward with the strategy
to continue the conversation to acquire the SR 417 section in Seminole County.
Commissioner Dallari said that part of his
frustration is that even the Turnpike’s transportation study shows that the
portion they are talking about does not need to be expanded for express lanes
for another 20 years.
Mr. Applegate stated he will provide the
Board members with a copy of the letter he is sending.
-------

recessed the meeting at 9:50 a.m.,
reconvening at 1:30 p.m., with all

Planned Development (PD), and approve the Rezone from Planned Development (PD)

Gregg Fusaro, Capital Investment Group, addressed the Board and stated

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS REPORTS
District
4
Commissioner Henley handed out a copy of an
update from Pat Christiansen, Attorney for Lynx, as well as an update from
Edward Johnson, Lynx CEO (copies received and filed), both which address the
collective bargaining matters and the impasse.
He stated that the Board will find that a lot of it is around the
benefits. The Union takes the position
that the benefits will not be changed or adjusted unless the trustees approve
it. Commissioner Henley explained that
the trustees are made up of three union members appointed by the Union and
three appointed by the Lynx Board. He
stated that they have been unable to move anything primarily because of the
three union reps that have opposed everything.
Commissioner Henley noted he is trying to keep the Board up to date
because the results of it could have an impact upon the Board's contributions
to the operations of Lynx because the Union is taking the position that the
trustees have the authority to adjust or increase the contributions to their
benefit program at their will.
District 5
Commissioner Carey announced she attended
the groundbreaking ceremony for the Historic Goldsboro Boulevard Streetscape on
August 24th. This is a Penny Sales Tax
project that is redoing Historic Goldsboro Boulevard from Lake Avenue to
Persimmon Avenue and includes road reconstruction, pedestrian and safety issues,
as well as enhanced utilities, drainage and sidewalks. She opined this will make the entrance to
Historic Goldsboro look completely different.
-------
Commissioner Carey stated at the Central
Florida Expressway Authority meeting last week, the Expressway Authority agreed
to take over the Osceola Expressway Authority’s road planning and development

paid off a $150 million loan to FDOT to clear the decks for future discussions

had been negotiating first with the MPO and then with Lynx on combining office
space and working together. Commissioner
Constantine explained the agreement was made unanimously to move to the fourth

some great market product when working through the Housing Corporation in
Florida. He referred to the Merritt
Street rezoning that is now building in the Winwood area and opined it is
beautiful and the first development in the Winwood area in 50 years. He noted that there will be after-school
programs and a community room for the entire community. Commissioner Constantine opined that the
other cities that were present were also excited about the opportunity.
-------
Commissioner Constantine announced he had
the honor of starting the Tunnel to Towers race in Altamonte Springs at Cranes
Roost honoring 9/11 and Stephen Siller, one of the 343 firefighters that lost
their lives on 9/11. He noted there were
700 runners at the 5K.
-------
Commissioner Constantine stated that on
September 11th at Rock & Brews, David Matthews spoke; and many firefighters
and police officers were present because two presentations and memorials were
unveiled for a police officer and firefighter that lost their lives. Commissioner Constantine added it was a
wonderful and very touching event on 9/11.
-------
Commissioner Constantine announced that
September 14th through September 16th is the Florida Association of Counties
(FAC) meeting, and on September 14th there is also an MPO meeting. He mentioned that on September 20th he will
be speaking at Hagerty High School doing Constitution Week.
-------
Commissioner Carey stated she thinks it is
interesting that the RPC will now be combined with Lynx in the same building
because when they started out, they were in the same building with MetroPlan
and used the same boardroom.
Commissioner Constantine explained the RPC was the MPO before they split
due to one having to do strictly with transportation and the other looking at
general planning. Many of the contracts
of the RPC are with Lynx and others, and Commissioner Constantine noted he sees
the value of all of the regional organizations being within proximity of one
another. Commissioner Dallari and
Chairman Horan commended Commissioner Constantine for a job well done.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Chairman Horan stated they passed “Kewannee
Park” today and the new gym equipment there.
He opined it will be good for that neighborhood and the children will
not go too long without safe equipment.
Commissioner Henley commended the County Manager for being able to make
it work. Nicole Guillet, County Manager,
gave credit to staff. She stated because
of their efficiencies this year, the County had some additional funding
available in order to do Kewannee Park this year.
-------
Chairman Horan confirmed with Ms. Guillet
that the workshop on Tourist Development Marketing is not scheduled yet. He stated he received a briefing on it from
Tricia Setzer, Economic Development & Community Relations Manager, who
indicated they will probably have a workshop on it sometime between now and
January. Chairman Horan noted today the
Board approved the extension of the Paradise Contract; and sometime between the
end of the fiscal year and the end of this year, they will have the data
available from the Sports Complex.
-------
Chairman Horan announced that Ray Hooper,
Purchasing & Contracts Manager, received Purchasing Manager of the Year
from the National Institute of Governmental Procurement. Mr. Hooper addressed the Board and stated he
had an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. and met with some of the best
leaders in the industry for the procurement profession. He was able to do some networking and is
trying to get things in place to continue the valued service for citizens. Chairman Horan thanked him for bringing a
good light to Seminole County, and Mr. Hooper thanked the Board for their
policies and procedures.
-------
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to authorize
the Tax Collector to begin collection of the 2016 tax roll prior to the
completion of the Value Adjustment Board hearings under the provision of
Florida Statute 197.323.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Chairman Horan stated he has been very busy
on the homelessness issue front and so has the Central Florida Commission on
Homelessness. He explained they are
moving forward on the governance issue and noted that Pastor Hunter, Northland
Church, will be the new chair taking Linda Gonzalez's place. Chairman Horan handed out an editorial from
the Orlando Sentinel with regards to the new governance structure (copy received
and filed). He stated he has asked the
County Attorney to begin drafting a proposed Memorandum of Understanding
between and among the various counties so the County can continue driving this
particular issue, mostly so they can make sure they get their fair-share
allocation.
-------
Chairman Horan confirmed that the Board
received a work session schedule regarding the issues that were discussed with
the School Board, the alternative impact fee study, and also the Rosenwald
property and the interlocal agreement.
He stated there was a conference call with the School Board pertaining
to the new proposed draft of the interlocal agreement, and the comments coming
back are that the TAC meeting will be moved back about a week so they can iron
out some of the rough spots. Chairman
Horan noted that there are some new personnel at the School Board who have not
been part of the five-year process, so getting them up to speed has been a task
that they are trying to do; but he expects that to be implemented before the
end of the year. He opined that the most
important thing is that the land planning stay with the jurisdiction of the
County and cities, and that the School's responsibilities stay with them, and
that they have some kind of metrics to determine capacity.
-------
Chairman Horan stated he needs authority
from the Board to send a couple of letters in support of certain funding
initiatives. He explained that about a
year ago at the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council meeting, he and
Commissioner Constantine learned that Orlando was taken off of the list of
cities that get priority terror funding.
Motion
by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to authorize the
Chairman to draft an appropriate letter to the appropriate agencies and
legislators in Washington in support of Congressman Mica’s initiative.

issue that the people in Governmental Relations in Washington, D.C., have been
working on for the last couple of years.

monies and revenues are spent and allocated by the various counties.
-------
Chairman Horan commended the Citrus Club in
downtown Orlando for hosting a fundraising benefit for the Central Florida Zoo,
which he attended. He noted that every
Tuesday the Citrus Club hosts a benefit for charity called Cocktails for a
Cause.
-------
Chairman Horan stated in regard to the two
Seminole County Olympians, it would be hard to get them in for a Resolution
because neither of them resides in the state anymore. However, Chairman Horan asked for
authorization to do a Resolution for a world champion who resides in Seminole
County. He stated her name is Bella
Dohvey and she has won two world championships in golf and is only 8 years
old. With regard to authorization of a
Resolution of Appreciation for Ms. Dohvey, no
objections were voiced.

COUNTY ATTORNEY’S REPORT
Bryant Applegate stated on September 15th
he is taking two new attorneys down to the Board of Directors meeting in
Stuart, Florida, for the Florida Association of County Attorneys. They are hosting an orientation session for
all new assistant county attorneys in Florida.
ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDA
Commissioner Henley stated that in view of
the fact that Maryanne Morse, Clerk of Court and Comptroller, is retiring and
they have elected a new Clerk, he thinks it would be appropriate for the Board
to take the necessary steps to do an audit of the Clerk’s Office before the new
Clerk takes over. Commissioner Henley
feels it is appropriate as a benefit not only to the Board but to each of the
individuals involved. He stated if the
Board feels the same, he will ask the County Manager to do some work in
preparation as to how much it would cost the County, who they could hire, and
so forth and bring it back at the next Board meeting. Chairman Horan stated it would certainly be a
benefit of the new office holder to be able to have that data available on the
day he walks into office. Chairman Horan
asked Ms. Guillet to get started on Commissioner Henley’s suggestions.
-------
There being no further business to come before the Board, Chairman
Horan declared the meeting adjourned at 2:05 p.m., this same date.
