AWARDS
& PRESENTATIONS
Chairman
Henley advised that Item #1, Resolution commending Todd Gaddy and Joey
Rodriguez, has been pulled from the agenda.
-------
Chairman
Henley recognized Mr. Gary Akers, Stifel, Nicholaus & Company.
Mr. Akers, Financial Advisor, addressed the
Board to advise that there have been very good improvements in the market that
began around the week before Christmas.
He stated when they met the last time, the refunding of the Sales Tax
was marginal and
they were below the 3% threshold. The direction was that if they could do it at
slightly below 10%, then they should take advantage of it. After that meeting, the rates went up and the
savings were basically almost nothing, but with the turn-around in the market,
they were able to get in quickly yesterday and the sale did very well. The gross cash flow savings were about $2.7
million and on an average annual basis it is about $105,000 a year. The net present value savings were $1,640,298
and the percentage of the refunded bonds is 3.954%. They were able to hit the market during a
period when the supply was low and the market came back with a significant
reduction in interest rates. The
$39,800,000 Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds Preliminary Official Statement
dated January 6, 2006 was received and filed.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he would like to congratulate Mr. Akers and staff for
having the wisdom to bring this to the Board.
He stated he appreciates Mr. Akers and the County’s management staff for
their work.
Mr.
Akers stated Citigroup, the Underwriter, did an excellent job as they priced
the bonds well below the consensus scale with the underwriting group and they
were able to improve the interest rate following the order period.
Commissioner
Morris advised that Citigroup bought out Smith Barney and this is one of a
series of successful transactions in the market place over the last couple of years,
and he would like to compliment the team and staff for a job well done.

TV; Community Partnerships; City Partnership Data Sheet Development; Promoting

Mr.
Gilley informed Chairman Henley that the statistics on jobs lost are reflected
in the overall unemployment rate.
Upon further inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms.
Turk advised the international trade data used to be provided by the Dept. of
Commerce but they do not provide it anymore.
It is always a year behind but they were not able to get any of the data. She said she doesn’t have any numbers as far
as dollars and tonnage. Discussion
ensued relative to international trade.

April
Boswell, Assistant Planning Manager, addressed the Board to present request for
reduction of penalty for Code Enforcement Lien, Case #95-61-CEB, for property
located at 517 Peach Tree Lane, Altamonte Springs, Ilene Walwyn, present owner,
on behalf of Denby Ible and Dean Ible.
She stated staff recommends reducing the lien to the administrative cost
of $589.29; and if it is not paid within 60 days, the fine will revert back to
the original lien amount of $359,800.
She added the property is presently in compliance.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. McMillan advised the lien is recorded and
should show up in the title search. He
stated the liens are routinely filed and the title companies seem to have a
problem finding them.
Chairman
Henley stated that is the problem he is having as it is hard to believe that
since 1995, there wasn’t any discussion or concerns since there have been a
number of contacts made by staff (notice of hearings). He stated he is pleased that the property is
in compliance and he would like the new owner to know that it is expected to be
kept in compliance. He recommended
accepting staff’s recommendation of reducing the lien to $589.29.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Carey to approve a reduction to the Code Enforcement Board lien
from $359,000 to the administrative costs of $589.29 on the property located at
517 Peach Tree Lane, Ilene Walwyn; that these costs are to be paid within 60
days or the lien will revert back to its original amount; and upon payment in
full, authorize the Chairman to execute the Satisfaction of Lien.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Morris stated a $359,000 lien is no laughing matter as
it endangers the property’s value. He said
he spoke with Mr. Fisher relative to these issues and he has noticed that
neighboring counties are doing different things than
Mr.
Fisher stated the past practice of the Code Enforcement inspector was to rely
on the property owner to notify them when the property comes into compliance. Several of these issues have come before the
Board and it looks like something needs to be addressed. He stated what these companies can do is take
proactive measures to get compliance by threatening a foreclosure. They have done some extraordinary things to
get the people to come into compliance.
He said he can brief each Board member to decide which way to proceed.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated it would be interesting to know how many code enforcement
liens have been placed on properties and how many of the full amounts have or
have not been paid.
Chairman
Henley requested Mr. Fisher to bring back a full report in six weeks.

Tyrone
Smith, Planning, addressed the Board to present request to approve the Final
Site Plan and Developer’s Commitment Agreement for Condev Office Site PCD,
located on the east side of Tuskawilla Road, approximately 300 ft. north of SR
426, Chris Gardner. He stated the applicant
is proposing to develop 21,500 sq. ft. of office use in four separate buildings
on a 1.95 acre site. The buildings will
be two stories in height and will access
Mr.
Smith discussed with Commissioner Dallari the buffer requirements for the Cross
Seminole Trail running adjacent to the site.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. Fisher advised the pond will be fenced and it
has a sloped berm, therefore there shouldn’t be any issues.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Final Site Plan and Developer’s
Commitment Agreement, as shown on page _________, for Condev Office Site PCD,

Request
to authorize staff to negotiate with the top ranked firm for PS-190-05/DRR
Master Agreement for Program Management Services in accordance with F.S.
287.055, the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), was presented.
Chairman
Henley stated it is his understanding that when the Board selects a company and
approve that as it is presently stated, they are also approving the contract
language. He stated he would like to do
this in two stages; one is to select the company and then bring the contract
back to the Board. He said he read the
RFP after it went out and a paragraph was added to that in which he feels staff
has taken liberty with. He stated that
paragraph indicates that the contractor would be called upon to do the design
build and that was not part of the Board’s direction.
Commissioner
Morris stated he has had discussions with the
Mr. McMillan stated Mr. Fisher spoke to him
about developing some language to add to the conflict of interest section to
make it clear that any projects the contractor acts as a project manager on, they
could not be a downstream provider of services for those projects.
Commissioner Morris stated the issue is
anything that they have the purview of management over, they may not bid on
anything related and it has to be a complete separation.
Commissioner
Carey stated the general practice in the engineering industry is not to have
the design firm overseeing the construction.
Her understanding is the way it currently goes is the Director of the
department approves the RFP and then it goes through the Purchasing Department,
who does nothing but put it out on the street.
She stated she has a problem with the whole process. Part of the problem is presentations were
made to staff instead of to the Board.
She said her recommendation for the process is that if this Board is
going to make a decision of who the firm is going to be, then they should not
only review the RFP before it goes out, but have the presentations made to the
Board instead of staff. Another RFP is
presently out on the street for the design on the jail with the same language,
and the Board needs to look at it before the responses are brought in.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. McMillan advised the process to correct
this is to do what the Chairman recommended and that is to rank the firms based
on qualifications and then authorize negotiations.
Mr.
McMillan clarified that the Board does the ranking and selection on all
projects, but under the regular process staff does the rankings and bring them
to the Board then they select a firm.
There is a subset of RFP’s that the Board has asked to come before them
unranked. They go through the same
process as everything else and the only thing staff doesn’t do is rank them.
Commissioner
Carey stated the Board isn’t interested in minor projects but is interested in those
that are of significant magnitude. She
stated this is a very expensive presentation and she thinks, from her point of view,
that the presentations on projects that are over $1 million should be made to
the Board.
Chairman
Henley stated he would like the Board to select the company and then make a
motion to negotiate for the final contract language. After that, he said the Board can have
discussions on making any changes to the process.
Commissioner
Carey stated the Board has an opportunity to amend the RFP’s that are on the
street before the responses come back.
Commissioner
Morris stated the Board is talking about amending a contract negotiation and
then they are telling the bidders that the contract is going to reflect issues
the Board has brought forth. It is not
the intent of the Board to do what ultimately got done in the RFP.
At
the request of Chairman Henley, Mr. McMillan submitted the Board’s business
cards to each member to allow them to select the company that they want ranked
number one.
Mr.
McMillan stated there was not a majority vote for any of the three companies,
CH2M Hill, Jacobs Civil, Inc., and PBS&J.
He advised that Commissioner Henley selected PBS&J. Commissioners Carey and Dallari selected CH2M
Hill, and Commissioners Morris and Van Der Weide selected Jacobs Civil, Inc.
Commissioner
Morris recommended going with another selection round.
Chairman
Henley stated the Board will take the two firms with the most votes.
Mr.
McMillan resubmitted business cards for the Board to select the number one
firm. He stated Commissioners Henley,
Carey and Dallari selected CH2M Hill, and Commissioners Morris and Van Der Weide
selected Jacobs Civil, Inc. The business

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to authorize negotiations of the contract
language for PS-5190-05 with CH2M Hill, in accordance with F.S. 287.055, the
Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA).
Under
discussion, Commissioner Morris noted the comments earlier regarding the contract
that there would be an exclusion regarding bidding for or monitoring any work
that the contractor or any subcontractors they would hire underneath them would
be under purview of the contract. The
Board voiced no objections.
Commissioner
Carey stated in the process of the negotiations if that language is removed
regarding construction, some of those team members may come off the team so
that they wouldn’t be held up under the idea that they couldn’t do any work
under that section.
Commissioner
Morris stated he doesn’t want people drifting in and out of the contract.
Mr.
McMillan advised that the Board needs to select the number two firm.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded
by Commissioner Dallari to select PBS&J as the number two firm for
PS-5190-05/DRR Master Agreement for Program Management Services.
Districts
1, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioners
Morris and Van Der Weide voted NAY.
Commissioner
Carey clarified the team members would be prevented from doing any construction
or CEI work on the program that they are managing, but not on other projects
that are unrelated to the contract.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
seconded by Commissioner Dallari to make PBS&J the number two ranked firm
unanimously.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. McMillan advised the contract will be
coming back to the Board.
Commissioner
Dallari stated the Board did not vote on the contract. Whereupon, the Chairman advised there was
consensus on that as no one dissented.
Chairman
Henley stated that on any future actions if staff has any doubt on what the
Board’s intent is, they need to ask ahead of time as it will save a lot of time
and confusion.
Commissioner
Carey asked if the Board wanted to have some type of action to amend the RFP on
the street regarding the jail.
Discussion ensued.
Mr.
Hooper stated the RFP for the jail closed on December 21 and the same language that
was in this program management is in that presentation. He stated staff can amend that or take it up
through negotiations if the process has been changed.
Commissioner
Dallari stated since the selection committee meetings are noticed, any board
member can attend if they wish.
Chairman
Henley stated if a commissioner is in attendance and has a question, they can address
it at that time.
Commissioner
Carey stated the way the RFP reads is they will submit their qualifications and
based on that only, staff will short-list a minimum of three firms to go
forward in the process. She stated the
way the RFP is written, staff can do interviews or full-blown presentations and
direction is to bring those unranked before the Board. She asked, “what is the point of doing an
interview if there are three qualified firms that are being short listed?” She suggested to strictly select them based
on qualifications and don’t cause the industry to pay thousands of dollars
doing presentations to someone who is not going to make the final decision.
Commissioner
Morris stated the ranking process has been done this way for years. He stated he feels the process is going to be
turned more political if the interviews are done by the Board.
Commissioner
Carey stated she wants to make her concern public because she has been in the business
for 25 years and she understands the process.
Commissioner
Morris stated the issue is to control and seeing the interviews. He stated he believes they currently have a
very good process.
Chairman
Henley stated if the RFP language as it relates to design build is in there, if
it is the will of the Board to amend the language, they need to instruct staff
to do that. He said, however, that he
does not hear the majority of the Board wanting to move forward with having the
Board conduct its own interviews.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
seconded by Commissioner Morris to amend the contract language with regard to
the jail RFP.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
DCM
Sally Sherman addressed the Board to advise staff has been working with the
County’s recently-hired Federal Lobbyist, Skip Bafalis/Jim Davenport-Alcade
& Fay, on the top legislative priorities and funding requests.
Skip
Balfalis addressed the Board to express his appreciation for the Board
selecting his firm to be their Federal Lobbyist. He said they would like the Commissioners to
think of their office in
Jim
Davenport addressed the Board to review the list of top Federal funding
requests as outlined on page 3 of the Agenda Memorandum. He said the first three projects (Cross
Florida Greenways Trail, SR 46, and Pedestrian Overpass at Howell Branch/426)
are viable transportation projects and something Congress funds annually. He stated the Board will need to prioritize
these because there is usually only one project granted per year to a
community. The computer aided dispatch
system (Item #4) is something that the Congress has funded for other
communities across the nation. The fifth
project (Community Health Clinic) would fall under the Health & Human
Services Bill. The sixth project
(Replacement of large print library books) would be funded under the Museum
& Library Services appropriations.
The seventh project (Regional Alternative Water Supply Testing Program)
would fall under the Interior Environmental Subcommittee and would require a
45% funding match from the County. With
regard to Item #8 (Upsala Landfill Restoration), he would need more information
on this project; but the EPA usually funds these types of things. He further advised that they will support
Congressman Mica’s effort to obtain the funding for the Eastern Connector in
the amount of $500,000,000. He explained
the process, advising a funding request letter would need to be submitted to
the County’s Delegation before the first of March.
Mr.
Bafalis stated he would encourage the Commissioners to come to Washington early
in the process (between the first of March and middle of April) because nothing
sends a stronger message about a County project than having that County’s
representatives speak about their projects.
Commissioner
Carey advised that at a recent CALNO meeting, State Representative David
Simmons stated there was some Federal funding available for monitoring sexual
predators. Whereupon, Mr. Bafalis stated
there may be funding for that out of the Justice Department and he will look
into that.
Ms.
Sherman advised the Board of her conversation with the Sheriff regarding this
funding.
Mr.
Bafalis stated that if the Board wants to do a pilot study on sexual predator
monitoring, they can help to get the funding for it.
Discussion
ensued between Commissioner Morris and Mr. Bafalis regarding the Homeland
Security Bill.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like assistance from the lobbyist in obtaining funding
for community social services. Mr.
Davenport said they can help the County with this.
Commissioner
Carey stated some of these projects are multi-jurisdictional and need to be
coordinated with those entities.
Whereupon, Mr. Bafalis said they can do that and requested the Board
also talk to those Counties to make sure they are supporting the same
projects.
Chairman
Henley gave a short briefing on the Upsala Landfill Restoration project.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris regarding the 17-92 corridor, Mr. Davenport
advised there is an administrative congressional process to get an area
declared a “brown field.” Whereupon,
Commissioner Morris requested Ms. Sherman make a note to review this with the
lobbyist.
Mr.
Bafalis reiterated that he wants the Board to think of them as their
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Sherman stated she did not know if the other
jurisdictions are supporting the Regional Alternative Water Supply Testing
Program; but would find out.
The
Board, by unanimous consensus,
agreed to the following ranking for the Federal funding requests: (1) Pedestrian Overpass/Howell Branch
Road/426; (2) Cross Florida Greenways Trail/realignment in Winter Springs; and
(3) SR 46/Regional Evacuation Route.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Dallari to accept the Federal Programs as outlined in the
Agenda Memorandum.

ATTORNEY’S BRIEFING, Continued

Commissioner
Morris suggested doing an electronic brochure and posting it on the web. Whereupon, Mr. Baenziger said they could add
something on a posting file.
Commissioner
Morris stated there needs to be a facts check done on the information. He added that information such as the
County’s economic development, median household income and the ranking of the
school district need to be included.
Discussion
ensued with regard to the proposed schedule (copy received & filed).
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Fisher advised staff can put a brochure
together within a couple of days because the information is readily
available.

Sandy
Bierly, representing Acorn Development Company, addressed the Board to state
she has a problem with the $30 per linear foot and believes it should be
$25.
Mr.
Fisher advised the $25 would only cover materials and engineering would need to
be done; therefore, he would recommend staying with the $30 per linear
foot.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.

by Commissioner Van Der Weide to approve the North Myrtle Street Urban
Conservation Village Final Master Plan for approximately 24.80 acres located on

Ms.
Gibbs advised staff recommends denial of the request as this is the last public
access to the lake. It is staff’s
opinion that it is in the general interest of the County and the public to
maintain it in its entirety for future use and approval would needlessly cause
impact to the wetland and floodplain areas.

County’s requirement of sustained public access to the lake. She said the new proposal would not modify
the existing legal lake access and would retain the 20-foot wide portion of the
existing
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Sullivan clarified that the existing house
is being torn down and a larger house will be built. The vacate is needed in order to meet the
setback requirements.

square feet. Discussion ensued.
Ms.
Sullivan continued her presentation by displaying drawings and photographs of

possibility.

occasions and SWOP is an organization that is working and something everyone
can be proud of. He added that it is a
phenomenal organization.
Chairman

Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Poe advised the new facility is proposed to
be concrete block with a metal roof.

Development Director, Bill McDermott, involved with this to see what funds are
available.

Van Der Weide stated he believes there is a unanimous consensus of the Board to
find a way to help SWOP with their expansion plans by next July.
