REGULAR AGENDA
Support Services Manager, Meloney Lung,
addressed the Board to request direction with regard to acquisition of Parcels
#31-21-31-515-0000-0020 and #31-21-31-515-0000-0030 owned by
Commissioner Dallari commented that the appraisal information was not included in the agenda packet; and he is concerned about paying almost $1 million per acre for prime real estate for a fire station.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he has the same concerns as Commissioner Dallari.
Ms. Lung stated there is not a lot of available property in this area.
Commissioner Henley said he also expressed concern about the cost of this property, especially with what is happening in real estate now and with the January 29th Amendment vote coming up.
Chairman Carey stated that purchasing property right on Aloma (426) will cost a premium; and questioned whether the fire station could be located in the area, but not on 426.
Commissioner Van Der Weide expressed his
concern with the fire station that is under construction on SR 436 in
Chairman Carey stated she had the same
concerns and the
Commissioner Dallari suggested staff look to see if the fire station needs to be on a major corridor and if there are other parcels available in the area.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to continue until January 22, 2008, consideration of the Purchase Agreement for Parcels #31-21-31-515-0000-0020 and #31-21-31-515-0000—0030, owned by Aloma Square, LLC, for future Fire Station #29, in order for staff to explore other possible properties and provide the appraisal information to the Board.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
At the request of Commissioner McLean, Ms. Coto stated she will provide Commissioners copies of the information so that they can distribute it to the different organizational meetings they attend.
Chairman Carey requested the Commissioners also be provided with an electronic version of the information.
-------
Ms. Coto advised the court ruling that the Regional Conflict Counsel is unconstitutional has been appealed. Therefore, Mr. Deen (Governor’s appointee) is still working until the matter is resolved. She further advised that she has informed Mr. Deen that the County will not proceed with space accommodations until a ruling is done on the appeal. She added that Mr. Deen understands the County’s position.
-------
Ms. Coto discussed the outparcel abutting
Chairman Carey stated she would not be willing to pay more than 10% above the $275,000 appraisal. She added that, if the Board is in agreement, she would want the County’s offer to be put in writing.
Commissioner Henley stated the property would be a nice addition to the park, but it is not essential because the park has been designed without it. Commissioner McLean agreed, stating 10% over appraisal would be $302,500.
Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to direct the County Manager to move forward with a written offer of $302,500 for the purchase of the outparcel abutting Jetta Point Park.
Under discussion and upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Ms. Coto advised there are dollars allocated in the land acquisition budget.
A brief discussion ensued with regard to a time limit for the offer. Whereupon, Commissioners McLean and Van Der Weide agreed to include in the motion a 30-day time period for acceptance of the offer.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
The Chairman recessed the meeting at 10:10
a.m., reconvening at 1:30 p.m.
with all Commissioners and all other Officials, with the exception of Deputy
Clerk Sandy McCann who was replaced by Deputy Clerk Carylon Cohen, who were
present at the Opening Session.
PROOFS
OF PUBLICATION
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to authorize filing the proofs of publication
for this meeting’s scheduled public hearings into the Official Record.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
PUBLIC
HEARINGS
RALPH SPANO/SPANO
& ASSOCIATES
Proof
of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to
consider adoption of an Ordinance to rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to PUD
(Planned Unit Development) approximately 26.78 acres located on the west side
of Dodd Road and north of Howell Branch Road, Ralph Spano/Spano &
Associates, received and filed.
Austin
Watkins, Senior Planner, addressed the Board to present the request, advising
of a correction to the staff report on page 4 under Buffers and Sidewalks to
read, “there is an existing five-foot sidewalk along
Tina
Williamson, Planner, addressed the Board to state it is correct that under the
code, this is an internal residential street and the sidewalks can be four
feet.
Whereupon,
Chairman Carey clarified that staff is correcting the record then to say there
is an existing five foot wide sidewalk along Dodd Road and the internal
sidewalk will be four feet wide.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Watkins and Ms. Williamson showed on the
map where the usable open space is located.
Commissioner
Henley also discussed with staff where access will be for the lake.
Commissioner
Dallari asked if the northern part of the boundary north of the lake is
included in the open space. Ms.
Williamson said the applicant is not proposing to develop that at this
time. She explained it is open space but
is not counted as common usable because there is no access to it. Commissioner Dallari stated he wants to make
sure, in the future, that area is not part of the development calculation.
Commissioner
Henley said he noticed the School Board’s comment that they could not absorb
the number of elementary school students.
Chairman
Carey stated she thinks starting this year, they will have school concurrency
and they will look at cluster of schools versus non-clusters and if a
development can’t meet school concurrency, the applicant would not be able to
move a project forward.
County
Attorney Robert McMillan stated he thinks school concurrency is in effect now
as of January 1, 2008.
Dori
DeBord, Planning & Development Director, addressed the Board to state as of
January 1, staff looks at final plats to begin the implementation of school
concurrency. She said this project could
continue to move forward until the time it comes in for its final plat. At that time, the developer could have worked
with the School Board to mitigate any impacts they may have before the final
plat or go through the test of concurrency at final plat. She said the staff will not be looking at
school concurrency during preliminary master plans or final master plans, but
at the time of the final development order stage.
Commissioner
Henley asked that the information be made available to the Board as to whether
or not a project meets school concurrency or not. He confirmed with Chairman Carey that the
School Board is the enforcement on the concurrency and the County does not have
anything to do with that.
Commissioner
Dallari said he thinks it would be prudent that the last step during the final
plat process is for staff to see if a project passes or does not pass
concurrency.
Ms.
DeBord explained that if a project doesn’t pass currency, there are other
options.
Mr.
McMillan said the project has to pass school concurrency, like with roads and
everything else, at a certain point in the process. The Board has not been doing any other
rezonings contingent upon passing something later, because it has to be passed;
the ordinance requires it.
Ms.
DeBord advised that the interlocal agreement with the School Board and Cities
speaks to the process the applicants will go through. She said modifications to this agreement will
be coming to the Board at the next meeting and they can review the process at
that time.
Chairman
Carey stated she spoke to Ms. DeBord about when surrounding a lake or water
body, such as in this application, she would like to see zeroscape landscaping
and restrictions of certain types of fertilizers because that’s one of the
issues they have with a lot of the water bodies. She asked the developer to take that into
consideration, even though the Land Development Code is not rewritten yet, as
part of their final design for the landscape plan. She would like to see the landscape plan come
back to the Board as part of the final process.
She advised Ms. DeBord that she would like to have that as part of the
Development Order.
Dianne
Kramer, Miller Einhouse Rymer & Boyd,
Commissioner
Henley said it would be helpful to him in the future if the School Board would
give the BCC information as to the cluster status, rather than just noting they
cannot absorb the number of students.
Chairman
Carey said because of concurrency, she thinks the School Board needs to change
the way they are reporting this to the
Ms.
Kramer advised of the plans for the outparcel of this property and said that
will not be a part of this PUD application.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Kramer addressed the landscaping around
the perimeter of the lake and interior sidewalks, stating they fully agree with
what he asked about the lakefront. They
have open space along the lakefront to control what happens and will incorporate
that into their final plan. She said
they will also incorporate into their final plan that the interior sidewalks

Upon

full lot size outside the flood plain.

LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
Lisa
Spriggs, Fiscal Services Director, addressed the Board and introduced Sabrina
O’Brien, new Assistant County Manager.
She advised she will be turning over coordination of the Legislative
Program to Ms. O’Brien. Ms. Spriggs
stated she distributed to the Board an update (copy received and filed) of the
State funding requests through the State lobbyists, Shutts & Bowen. Staff has received a listing of the sponsors
for each of the funding requests. She
advised that staff had applied for a FRDAP grant for Jetta Point and the County
scored very successfully and was ranked third.
The State staff is recommending funding of $6 million for the total
program, but that will be subject to appropriation of the program.
Ms.
Spriggs said the federal lobbyists continue to stress that regional projects
seem to fare better in the federal process.
They have also indicated that transportation projects typically receive
$500,000 to a $3 million earmark. Staff
has also looked into the possibility of some funding for rail stations. She advised that Jerry McCollum,
Chairman
Carey said last year, it was clear that if requests the County had were not
regional in nature, there wasn’t any reason for them to be on a federal
list. She asked staff to think through
what would be meaningful as a region or to the whole community so they could
get the federal support they need. She
thinks the County and cities as a joint effort can lobby for federal funding
for building the commuter rail stations, and with Congressman Mica’s
involvement in commuter rail, that would be something she thinks he would try
to support. That’s why she asked Mr.
McCollum to talk about this with the Technical Advisory Committee, and to come
up with a list outside of what they had been doing. She thinks the Board needs to look deep into
what they really want the federal government to try to fund and she asked for
discussion on how to refine the funding list.
Commissioner
Henley said he and Mr. McCollum have met with the cities regarding development
around rail station areas. He said each
of the cities were favorable in trying to work something out through a
public/private partnership which could lessen their cost. He advised on the appropriations bill signed
by the President that
Commissioner
McLean said part of the issue they are dealing with now is because of the
uncertain environment they are in, and they need to focus their attention and
look at things with a reasonable expectation of having some success. He said he doesn’t think the Pedestrian
Overpass (Howell Branch Road & SR 426) is a project that would make sense
for them to pursue right now. Also, he
doesn’t know if they should be focusing on the
Commissioner
Carey said, except for the evacuation route, she thinks they can take
everything else off the federal list and talk about commuter rail stations and
the
Commissioner
Henley and Chairman Carey discussed the discussion each had with Mr. Barley regarding
the SR 46 project.
County
Engineer Jerry McCollum addressed the Board to state staff looked at this from
a regional perspective to take the project to US 1, but the long-range plan
shows SR 46 as a four-lane road to the Volusia County line.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he agrees that if they’re wasting their time doing anything
other than regional efforts, then it looks like SR 46 would be the project to
pursue. He said his question is, what
are they getting from the federal lobbying firm. He also asked how much is the County paying
for what they have gotten. He said this
is the kind of information the Board needs.
He is not sure they are getting their money’s worth. He is still waiting for the day when the
Board will address whether they keep this federal lobbyist or not. He said he would like to know exactly what
the County has paid so far, exactly what they have received and what they can
expect to get. They can’t just keep
putting this off.
Ms.
Coto stated the federal lobbyist contract was brought to the Board in August
and the Board decided to continue it with the understanding that there is a
30-day notice clause for termination.
Commissioner
Carey asked for the Board to get the information about what both the state and
federal lobbyist contracts are annually and the termination language. Maybe they can discuss that at the next
meeting when they take up the legislative process and see some revised
legislative agenda about what the Board wants to pursue.
Commissioner
Dallari said they do need to focus their attention on the regional aspect from
the federal side, but when doing that, they need to be looking at their
regional partners for what’s on their list.
He thinks there needs to be some discussion with their regional partners
so they all have the same list.
Commissioner
Henley said they need to be conscious of the fact that as less money is
available, whether at the state or federal level, that is the time they need a
lobbyist more to stay in the fight.
According to what Congressman Mica told him, they are too busy to try to
keep up with everything that’s available.
That’s where a lobbyist, if he’s doing his job, can help the Board know
what’s available that the County might be able to go after.
Chairman
Carey said she thinks it all goes back to who’s the lobbyist and how effective
is he at “bringing home the bacon.”
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like to have staff speak to the regional partners to
find out what they are asking from their federal lobbyist, if they have one, so
they can all try to have the same list to focus their efforts from a tri-county
perspective.
Commissioner
Henley said he thinks the place to bring this topic up and get dialogue on
sharing, particularly if one county is asking for something that might have an
impact on another like the trails, would be at myRegion. They would have all the counties there. He said maybe they should be looking for
projects that transcend County lines, since that’s where the interest is going
to be. He said they have a new player
now with the creation of the business partners, and the concept of myRegion.org
is changing. It appears they will also
be lobbying. He thinks it is important
that they also share this dialogue with the cities. He said that would be the forum because
everyone is represented at myRegion with the mayors, counties, and business
people.
Commissioner
Chairman
Carey said she thinks the power of a powerful lobbyist is the fact that they
can bring great support to the elected officials and she doesn’t think that the
County would have the kind of budget that’s needed for a staff person who could
be that effective. She thinks using an
outside lobbyist is much more cost effective than having an individual on
staff, but you have to use him in the right way and right circumstances. Having the correct priority list is the first
step going into this.
Chairman
Carey asked if the Board agrees that the federal funding request list provided
is not the correct list and they will clean it up to have a couple projects
like the Wekiva Parkway, transit stations, and maybe SR 46 - Regional
Evacuation Route (SR 415 to US 1) since they have a little momentum going on
that now, and limit the list to those three projects.
Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded
by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve for federal funding requests for
Fiscal Year 2008 the following projects:
Wekiva Parkway, Transit Stations, and SR 46 - Regional Evacuation Route
(SR 415 to US 1).
Commissioner
Dallari said they might want to think about the Regional Water Supply Program.
Chairman
Carey said that’s on the State list and there is a bill that passed this year
that will allow the County to apply for money for that.
Ms.
Spriggs stated the Water Resource Development Act was passed into legislation
and earmarks $40 million for this area and
Chairman
Carey asked Ms. Spriggs to provide the list of names who serves on the
committee that approves the list of recommendations.
Commissioner
Dallari reiterated he thinks the Regional Water Supply Program needs to be on
the Federal list. Discussion continued.
Commissioner
Carey said she thinks they ought to lobby to make sure
Chairman
Carey asked if Commissioners Van Der Weide and McLean would agree to amend the
list in the motion to include the alternate water supply as one for the County
to lobby to get the grant funding already allocated. Commissioners Van Der Weide and McLean agreed
to the amendment to the motion as
stated.

-------
Chairman
Carey referred to the color-coded information (copy) she distributed to the
Board on boards and committees and reviewed same on how the committees were
established. She said according to Mr.
McMillan, the boards/committee appointments that are not at the Chairman’s
prerogative should be ratified by the Board.
She asked for ratification of the Board appointments listed on the front
page.
Commissioner
Henley explained he had concern about a couple of the appointments. He said he thinks Commissioner McLean did an
outstanding job on the Risk Management Committee last year and he thinks he
should be retained on that. He would be
happy to step aside and let Commissioner McLean serve if that’s agreeable with
Chairman Carey and Commissioner McLean.
He thinks they need the expertise and he doesn’t think the County has
anyone on staff who is an expert or professional in that area.
Commissioner
Dallari added that the amount of time he spent on that board, Commissioner
McLean did bring quite a bit of value to it.
His expertise was very informative at that time. Discussion ensued.
Chairman
Carey stated that, historically, she thinks they have tried moving the
committee appointments around so that the BCC members all have an opportunity
to serve and learn and understand what the issues are. That was her reason for alternating that appointment
and for the Value Adjustment Board.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said during the time he has served on the
Chairman
Carey stated she has no problem if Commissioner Henley wishes for Commissioner
McLean to serve, but she wants him to understand his responsibility as Vice
Chairman also. She suggested
Commissioner Henley take Commissioner McLean’s place on the Value Adjustment
Board.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide,
seconded by Commissioner McLean, to ratify the Chairman’s appointments to
Boards/Committees, as amended.
Commissioner
Dallari noted that the Chairman also has alternates named and he asked when
will the alternates be informed that the designee cannot attend a meeting. He said he hopes to have a 30-day
notice. Whereupon, Chairman Carey said
that shouldn’t be a problem.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Chairman
Carey noted other appointments on her list, for information only, for the
Wekiva River Basin Commission and the Smart Growth Alliance. She advised that Ms. Coto has recommended
Dennis Westrick to serve on the South Seminole North Orange County Water
Transmission Authority. Because SCIDA
deals with economic development and those types of issues, it is felt that a
staff person from the Economic Development Department would be better to serve
on that board.
Chairman
Carey advised, and Mr. McMillan affirmed from his research that the Early
Learning Coalition (School Readiness) requires one member to be appointed by
the
Chairman
Carey discussed CALNO, City/County Committee and Mayors & Managers
Committee, stating the intent is if the
Commissioner
McLean stated his concern is that the
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he has no problem going to all these organizations if that’s
what the BCC wants to do. The only
question he has is the expense of all this and the staff time. He asked if the others are sharing the staff time. Chairman Carey said no, that it is
predominantly County staff going out at night making these presentations.
Commissioner
Dallari said he served on CALNO for a number of years from the city level. At that time, it was up to each city to do
one presentation a month. The years he
served, it did enlighten him from a lot of perspectives, and he would be remiss
to not say if that board does go away, there will be a certain character of the
County also disappearing because one of the things that makes Seminole County
great is the interaction of all the different elected officials as well as the
School Board and colleges.
Commissioner
McLean said he doesn’t think the decision the BCC makes will eliminate the
duplication; only from the standpoint of a representative from this Board not
being required to show up at a particular meeting.
Chairman
Carey explained that the BCC could quit participating in CALNO, but it will
continue to operate as they always have.
If the will of this Board is to continue to be a member, she will look
for volunteers.
Mr.
McMillan explained the 1968 State statute that provided for the creation of
CALNO.
Commissioner
McLean stated because he thinks CALNO lends itself to more free-wheeling type
of discussion, he thinks it is helpful for the County to have a representative
to be a part of that discussion, assuming there is someone available to do
so.
Commissioner
Henley stated the City/County Committee has already been formalized. It was agreed upon by the cities and this
Board and it has a specific mission spelled out. He reviewed the makeup of the committee, and
the work that has been done by the committee.
He said in his opinion, with what’s happening from the standpoint of the
Legislature cutting revenues and what they are facing in January, he thinks it
is going to have to cause them to look closer and more diligently at how they
can work together to minimize some costs to the citizens. He thinks it would be a mistake to eliminate
this committee. Discussion ensued with
the Chairman.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide asked what was the end result for Bright House. Commissioner Henley advised the County has a
contract with Bright House, and as far as he knows the contract is still in
effect.
Arnold
Schneider,
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he wanted to point out that the State had interceded on
behalf of the cable company and they can pretty much do what they want to do
whenever they want to do it; and when it’s to their advantage, that’s exactly
what they are going to do.
On
mosquito control, Commissioner Van Der Weide asked isn’t the County footing the
bill or is there sharing in the funding for it.
Commissioner Henley said the County is footing the bill. Discussion ensued with Ms. Coto about the
recommendation that came out of the Joint City/County Advisory Committee and
the budget discussions last year for mosquito control.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said those are the type of things that concern him--what it’s
costing the taxpayers to operate all these committees in excess. He thinks a lot of these things are a benefit
but their partners need to help fund them.
Discussion ensued on the cost of a consultant when the committee was
initially set up and the cost was split among the County and seven cities.
Mr.
McMillan stated he has said the Joint City/County Advisory Committee was never
created as a formal County committee. He
read the minutes of the Chairman’s Report in May when this committee was
discussed. He said this was to be
treated as an ad hoc council of community leaders to discuss city/county
issues. Cver time, this has become a de
facto board because the County now provides all the staff support, and he
thinks all the meetings are always at the County’s location and broadcast on
SGTV. It might behoove them, if they
wish to continue with this committee, to give it some kind of formal standing and
create it with a resolution and deal with it as any other board the County
has. That would clean up any issues
about what it is and what its mission and role is.
Chairman
Carey asked again what is the desire of the Board.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide gave the history of the Mayors & Managers Committee.
Chairman
Carey asked if there is really a need for the BCC to be active in the Mayors
& Managers Committee. Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he didn’t think that they should participate in the
Mayors/Managers Committee if they are going to have the Joint City/County
Advisory Committee.
Commissioner
McLean stated he would agree with the BCC continuing with CALNO and not
continuing with the Mayors & Managers Committee.
Commissioner
Henley said he thinks they need to continue with the Mayors & Managers
Committee because it is valuable and he has sat on the Committee for a number
of years. He doesn’t know of any money
they have spent during that time, other than on refreshments.
Upon
Chairman Carey taking a hand vote, Commissioners Dallari and Henley voted AYE
to continue with the Mayors & Managers Committee. Commissioners McLean, Van Der Weide and Carey
voted NAY.
Commissioners
McLean, Dallari and Henley voted AYE
to continue to participate in CALNO.
Commissioners Van Der Weide and Carey voted NAY.
The
consensus of the Board was to
continue the Joint City/County Advisory Committee. Chairman Carey said she will look to Mr.
McMillan to bring some formalization of that committee and a letter will be
sent to the cities letting them know the consensus of the BCC.
The
Chairman recapped that the County will not participate in the Mayors/Managers
Committee, but will continue to participate in CALNO.
Commissioner
McLean advised Chairman Carey that he would be glad to continue to serve on CALNO,
and Commissioner Dallari stated he would be the alternate.
Mr.
McMillan said if they wish to formalize the City/County Committee, he thinks
the vehicle would be to create it by an interlocal agreement with the cities
and deal with the issues relative to rotation of the meetings and funding. The sunshine issue will become more apparent
when they do that than it has been currently, which may be a problem for some
of the entities.
Commissioner
Dallari asked if the Committee has been working with the designees, it doesn’t
seem to be broken and why do they need to fix it.
Chairman
Carey stated that Commissioner Henley pointed out the membership should be the
Chairman and one other appointee, but if Commissioners Henley and McLean wish
to continue to serve, they need to have some flexibility in the bylaws. She said they should find out from the cities
if they want it to be the mayor and one other representative or just two
representatives or however.
Mr.
McMillan explained that this started as an ad hoc committee of community
leaders which the BCC was appointing people to.
It seems to have been absorbed into the County structure because the
County now has it on the WEB site, the County takes the minutes and provide the
site and televise the meetings, and the argument that this is a private,
outside group is moot.
Chairman
Carey said she doesn’t want to see the County or cities do anything that could
be challenged by anyone.
Mr.
McMillan stated he’s going to try to make sure all are comfortable with the way
the Committee is operating and there is not an undue risk for the members
relative to violation of the Sunshine Law.
He explained the sunshine issue to Commissioner Henley.
Commissioner
Henley stated they need to be careful as to the message they are sending to
their partners when they say they no longer want to participate with them. Commissioner Dallari agreed with Commissioner
Henley’s comment.
Chairman
Carey stated if any Commissioner wishes to attend the Mayors & Managers
meetings, they may do so, but as Chairman she will not do that. She summarized the County will participate in
CALNO with Commissioner McLean as the appointee and Commissioner Dallari as the
alternate; and they will get back on the Joint City/County Committee at the next
meeting with further discussion with Mr. McMillan.
-------
Chairman
Carey referred to a letter (not received and filed) from the city of
Commissioner
McLean said if the letter is about the routing of SR 434, he suggests that the
City/County Committee might not be the venue for it because in the past they
have not traditionally dealt with city-specific issues.
Chairman
Carey stated she will try to contact Mayor Maingot and see who he is directing
the letter to.

PUBLIC
COMMENTS
Chairman
Carey stated she had a request for public comment and a written request from
Mr. John Casselberry. She asked Mr.
McMillan to read that and submit the written comment (received and filed) into
the public record. Mr. McMillan
summarized that Mr. Casselberry did not think the minutes of September 25, 2007
correctly reflected his comments. He was
making the point that the County should not be taxing city residents for the
Sheriff’s road patrols. Mr.
Casselberry’s second point raises some issue relative to the Medical Examiner
destroying autopsy reports and that the County should do something to insure
that their Medical Examiner does not destroy medical reports but they should be
retained.
-------
Mr.
Horvath made comments on CALNO and the cities and County, stating he thinks the
cities and County may have to work together whether they like it or not with
some of the things coming up in a couple weeks.
He thinks they need to be more efficient.
Ms.
Coto said in looking at the calendar with respect to the May meeting, it
appears the Board could meet on May 6 and May 20 because there is an additional
week in April.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to hold BCC meetings for the month of
May on May 6 and May 20, 2008.
Districts
