Consent Agenda Item #31 – 2019-1672
Balmy Beach Marketplace Subdivision
Final Plat
Commissioner
Constantine stated this area was highly controversial when it first came up,
and this is part of that particular plat.
The Commissioner requested a report since this item came in late. Kathy Hammel, Planning and Development, addressed
the Board and stated the recording of the final plat was part of the Development
Order. It was a condition of approval
along with the final engineering and final site plan of the lots contained in
the plat. Commissioner Constantine
inquired what the proposed use for the plat is.
Ms. Hammel responded it is five lots on 29.1 acres. It has commercial uses on Lots 1, 2, 3, and
5. And Lot 4 is the continuum of care
facility. Chairman Carey clarified this
is just a plat approval, not a zoning approval.
Ms. Guillet added it is consistent with the PD rezoning the Board
previously approved.
Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner
Dallari, to approve the Plat for the Balmy Beach
Marketplace subdivision containing five (5) lots on 20.91 acres zoned PD,

REGULAR
AGENDA
Agenda Item #19 – 2019-1593
Wekiva Island Fall Fest 2019/Mary Sue Weinaug
Mary Robinson, Planning and Development, addressed the Board and presented the
request as outlined in the agenda memorandum.
Ms. Robinson displayed and reviewed a chart entitled Request to Vary
from the 2018 Planned Unit Development, Approved Development Order Conditions
(received and filed).
Commissioner
Lockhart inquired how staff determined this was one event. Ms. Robinson responded the application came
in with these specific dates, so they allowed it to proceed as one application. Commissioner Lockhart stated she interprets
it as three events because there are three distinct dates with breaks in
between with different things going on, so she is perplexed how they are not
considered three.
Commissioner
Lockhart inquired if there is a definition of what an event is. Ms. Guillet responded the Land Development
Code says no more than 14 consecutive days.
However, historically, the Board has authorized events with
nonconsecutive days and classified them as one event. There are limits on the number of days and
the number of events in the provisions in the Land Development Code with regard
to special events. However, there's a
caveat in there that says the Board can waive any of that and authorize
additional or different standards. Staff
has looked at this as something the Board has authorized previously. Ms. Guillet suggested it would be helpful if
staff had better guidance on what the Board considers an event.
Commissioner
Zembower stated Fall Fest is the same event just separate dates. Commissioner Lockhart stated it is Island
Fall Fest because that is what they titled it; and from her perspective, that
is very creative and it is capitalizing on some vagueness in Board
direction.
Chairman
Carey confirmed with Ms. Robinson the Applicant is allowed to have 60 days of
events per the Development Order. The
Chairman inquired how many they have had so far this year. Ms. Robinson responded they have had a total
of 19 days this year with the Paint Out.
Chairman Carey confirmed with Ms. Robinson even if this event and Wekiva
Winter Wonderland were continuous days, they would still have enough days. Ms. Robinson added they would have 56 total
days for the year. Commissioner Lockhart
clarified by calling them all one event, they are still within four
events. However, the Development Order restricts
both the number of events and the number of days.
Chairman
Carey stated she has a bigger issue with the number of people being allowed
because there was a lot of conversation previously and it was concluded that
395 people at any given time would be the maximum number. From the feedback received from the
neighbors, that number seems to be working very well.
Ms.
Guillet clarified if they made this event continuous from the end of October to
the end of November and didn't count just the days of activity, the applicant
would exceed their number of days once the Winter Wonderland event is
added. If you count the Paint Out, the
Winter Wonderland of 28 days, and the Fall Fest as nine days, then it is
56. If you count it as a continuous from
the beginning of October to the end of November, it exceeds the 60 days.
Upon
inquiry of Commissioner Zembower, Mary Sue Weinaug, Applicant, addressed the Board and advised the
amplified sound with the bullhorn will take place on October 26th at the
Halloween party between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. and on November 9th at the Egg
Fest between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
With regard to public
participation, the following spoke in opposition: Jeff Stamer, 3669 Watercrest Drive; Jill Uliano, 1044
Bearded Oaks Terrace; John Thornton, 3764, Watercrest
Drive; and Andrew Mosher, 1005 Bearded Oaks Terrace. Public speaker forms received and filed.
With regard to public participation, no one else in the audience spoke
in support or opposition, and public input was closed.
Upon
inquiry from Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Robinson explained staff made the
recommendation for approval because there have been no complaints this year or
last year, and there were no complaints about traffic or noise filed with the
sheriff's department.
Chairman
Carey confirmed with Ms. Robinson the regular allowed hours of operation on
Friday and Saturday are 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. with a maximum capacity of 395
people. Chairman Carey clarified the
reason for the request is because they are asking for more people and they are
asking for Sunday to be extended from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
Commissioner
Zembower inquired how the public knows when the event has reached
capacity. Ms. Weinaug
responded they put a sign up. Ms. Weinaug clarified the request for additional capacity is to
accommodate more children than adults.
Commissioner
Lockhart requested confirmation that the Applicant's permits are current and
valid. Ms. Robinson responded staff has
received the updated certificate of insurance and copies of all the alcohol
licenses.
Commissioner
Constantine recalled the process of the residents and the Applicant coming to
an agreement that led to the Development Order, and he read Section W of the
Development Order into the record. The
Commissioner stated he does not think the two sides are talking as they should
and that is something they need to address.
Commissioner Constantine provided an update on the status of the calming
devices and stated the county engineer is still working on those studies.
Motion by Commissioner
Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to approve Wekiva Island Fall
Fest Special Event Permit for October 25, 26, and 27, 2019; November 8 and 9,
2019; and November 25, 26, 27, and 28, 2019, subject to staff’s recommendations
included in the Special Event Permit with the amendment of the hours of operation on
Fridays and Saturdays being from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. with a maximum
capacity of 500 persons and the hours of operation Sundays through Thursdays being
from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. with a maximum capacity of 395 persons; Mary
Sue Weinaug, Applicant.
Commissioner Dallari confirmed with
Ms. Weinaug she understood the motion and would be
able to abide by it.
Under discussion, Commissioner
Lockhart stated she is concerned it is just a year after creating the Development
Order and they are already asking for exceptions to the number of people. The Commissioner stated allowing an exception
this early on might be setting them up for failure. Commissioner Dallari stated he believes that
there will be more children than adults because this is a family-oriented
event, and he believes there should be some leniency in the number.
Commissioner Zembower stated he
would prefer better clarification on the fragmentation of the dates. It is something they owe staff to give them
direction ultimately of what an event is.
Chairman Carey confirmed with Ms. Weinaug that last year's Winter Wonderland attendance was
capped at 395 and it was not an problem. The Chairman stated she does not have an
issue with the dates. She has an issue
with the capacity because they went through such pains to come to an agreement. The Chairman advised she would not be supporting
the motion because she does not support the 500.
Districts 1, 2, and 3
voted AYE.
Districts 4 and 5 voted NAY.
Motion
passes 3 to 2.
This item is reconsidered after the County Attorney’s Briefing with a motion by Commissioner
Constantine and Board vote.
Wekiva
Island Winter Wonderland 2019/Mary Sue Weinaug
Ms. Robinson presented the request as outlined in the agenda memorandum. Ms.
Robinson displayed and reviewed a chart entitled Request to Vary from the 2018
Planned Unit Development, Approved Development Order Conditions (received and
filed).
With
regard to public participation, the following spoke in opposition: Jill Uliano, 1044
Bearded Oaks Terrace; John Thornton, 3764, Watercrest
Drive; and Andrew Mosher, 1005 Bearded Oaks Terrace. Public Speaker forms received
and filed.
With regard to public participation, no one else in the audience spoke
in support or opposition, and public input was closed.
Motion by Commissioner
Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to approve the Wekiva Island
Winter Wonderland Special Event Permit for November 29 through December 25,
2019; and December 31, 2019, through January 1, 2020, subject to staff’s
recommendations included in the Special Event Permit with the amendment of the hours of operation on
Fridays and Saturdays being from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. with a maximum
capacity of 500 persons and the hours of operation Sundays through Thursdays
being from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. with a maximum capacity of 395 persons; Mary
Sue Weinaug, Applicant.
Under Discussion, Commissioner
Lockhart stated one of the things she is hearing is that staff and the Board is
relying on reports to the sheriff's department of complaints, and different
people have different thresholds for what they are willing to call the
sheriff's department over. Just because
someone isn't going to call the sheriff's department over something that is
obnoxious and unruly, because there may not be a law that's being broken,
doesn't mean that everything is fine.
Commissioner Lockhart suggested if they are going to allow the latitude
on the Fall Fest, there needs to be some indication that if there is trouble
with the Fall Fest, Winter Fest is hanging in the balance. She does not think it should be let's wait
and talk about it for next year's application or next year's special
events. It needs to be an immediate
consequence of recognizing whether 500 is a problem. Commissioner Constantine agreed that is a
great idea. Commissioner Zembower stated
he would support an amendment if Commissioner Lockhart is offering up an
amendment to the motion that if there is some kind of issue with the first
event they can revoke what is in the motion.
Chairman Carey stated the
Commissioners' offices hear loud and clear when there are problems. The Chairman stated she would have a concern
about terminating a permit for a multiple-day event based upon what happened
literally less than a week in advance.
Commissioner Lockhart clarified she was not asking to terminate the
event but that the number would go back down to 395. Chairman Carey opined if someone is trying to
keep it at 395, they are going to call and complain to get the number down to
395. Commissioner Lockhart responded if
the motion is going to pass, she was just suggesting there might be some relief
for the neighbors for the Winter Wonderland event if 500 ends up being a
problem.
Commissioner Constantine stated he
does not have a problem with that except for the fact of what has been brought
up already that this has to be a cooperative effort between both sides. The Commissioner stated in the past, they
have allowed 750. He is hopeful the Applicant
is going to be extremely careful and take due course to ensure the neighbors
are satisfied and are not upset with what is happening. Commissioner Constantine stated there is
nothing that would stop the Board from coming back and reevaluating this at a
different number if they start seeing this has been a problem, and it does not
have to be included in today's motion.
Chairman Carey advised there is only one meeting in December and it will
be very difficult to take action then.
Districts 1, 2, and 3
voted AYE.
Districts 4 and 5 voted NAY.
Motion
passes 3 to 2.
Agenda Item #21 – 2019-1644
Resolution of Support for State Road 434
Improvements
Commissioner
Dallari stated the Board previously had a work session on this project. Two weeks ago, the consultants presented to
the City of Winter Springs and the City of Winter Springs supported it
unanimously. Last week, they presented to
the City of Oviedo at a work session; and last night, the City of Oviedo also
voted unanimously for support of this and took official action with a
resolution.
Bill Wharton, Public Works, addressed
the Board and advised his presentation was going to consist of what
Commissioner Dallari reported and the background as outlined in the agenda memorandum.
Ms. Guillet suggested in lieu of a presentation, staff would answer any
questions, and no questions were posed.
With regard to public participation, no one in the audience spoke in
support or opposition, and public input was closed.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded
by Commissioner Zembower, to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute
appropriate Resolution #2019-R-169 in Support of State Road 434 Improvements
and the proposed short-term alternatives to State Road 434 from State Road 417
west to Franklin Street to provide operational and safety benefits.
Under
Discussion, Commissioner Dallari advised that Nick Lepp,
MetroPlan Orlando Director of Transportation
Planning, was present and has been very helpful in this project. He is the one helping to move dollars around
from MetroPlan.
The Commissioner thanked Mr. Lepp for his
work. Commissioner Dallari stated he
wants to make sure these dollars are spent appropriately. The Commissioner confirmed with Mr. Lepp there is a 2021 time frame
that the funding needs to be spent.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
COUNTY MANAGER AND STAFF BRIEFINGS
Ms. Guillet stated information
regarding Fire Station 11 has been distributed to each Commissioners' office
(received and filed). She explained they
have a quick time frame on this because they are trying to work with the City
of Altamonte Springs to keep them on track with their redevelopment
efforts. The County has moved forward
with building permits and the site plan is ready. She wants to make sure the Board is aware of
what is happening as they start moving through the formal permitting
process.
Chairman Carey inquired how they
are going to develop the site plan as presented without the agreements on the
retention pond that a portion of is needed.
Ms. Guillet responded they are working on those agreements in tandem
with the development of the site plan and the building permits. They are working with DOT, the Rail
Commission, and the FTA on acquisition of a portion of the pond next to this
site because the site is not quite wide enough.
They have gotten approval from DOT and the Rail Commission to move
forward. Nobody has any objection to a
portion of that pond being utilized. However,
the FTA is requiring that sliver of land be purchased. It is valued at about $75,000. A quarter has already been paid into that as
part of their funding agreement. They
are asking DOT to waive repayment of their quarter, DOT is considering that,
and that request has been sent to DOT.
It would mean the County would have to pay the FTA $37,500. Staff is working on resolving that issue and
they expect it be resolved. Purchase of
that property will be brought back for Board approval.
Chairman Carey stated the original
anticipation when they made the deal with Altamonte was that the site would be
big enough and now it is not. She
inquired if they have gone back to Altamonte and requested they help offset
some of this cost. Ms. Guillet responded
they have not talked with them about that.
The site technically is big enough if they went two stories. However, it works better if they have this
additional property. Fire Chief Mark
Oakes addressed the Board and clarified the Station 13 plans could work, but
there still would have been challenges.
It is better economy of scale to use the current footprint from Station
29.
Commissioner Constantine left the
meeting at this time.
Chairman Carey stated she wants to
make sure they are confident this is going to occur and they are going to be
able to lay this station out the way it is proposed in the documents.
Commissioner Dallari inquired if
staff has had any discussion with the local FTA. Ms. Guillet responded they have and that is
how it was determined the property will need to be purchased. Chairman Carey stated it is interesting they
are requiring it to be purchased because the County is still going to continue
to provide the storage in the stormwater pond.
It is just going to wrap around a different way, so nothing is being
taken away from them. Chief Oakes added
they have been able to incorporate the P25 radio tower relocation into the site
plan and are actually running power on the easement.
-------
Ms. Guillet distributed Juvenile
Assessment Center Addition; For Seminole County Sheriff's Office (received and
filed) and stated they have been talking for a number of years about relocating
the JAC to make it an addition to the juvenile detention center. They are prepared to send the project out to
bid for a design-build proposal now that the DJJ settlement money has been
received, and the design document that was distributed will be the basis of
design. Ms. Guillet reviewed the design
document and stated a budget amendment request to create a project line for
this will be brought to the Board for approval at a future meeting. The estimate in the design document, which
was done five years ago, is about $2.8 million; and today they estimate it will
be in the $3.5 million range.
Commissioner Constantine reentered
the meeting at this time.
Ms. Guillet stated they received
about $4 million in DJJ settlement money, and they also received $1 million the
legislative session before. They are
working with the State on an amendment to that grant agreement so it can be put
towards this project. Ms. Guillet stated
they would like to start moving forward and advertise unless the Board wants to
slow it down a little bit and spend a little more time on it.
Commissioner Lockhart inquired if
this will get the teachers out of the trailers, and Meloney Lung, Assistant
County Manager, addressed the Board and responded that it will. Commissioner Dallari inquired if there are numbers
plugged in for site and stormwater. Ms.
Guillet responded the stormwater and sitework is included in the scope of
services for the design-build.
Commissioner Zembower inquired if Ms. Guillet was looking for Board
action, and Ms. Guillet responded she is not and they will be coming back with
a BAR to make a project line.

Wekiva Island Fall Fest 2019. Chairman
Carey stated the Applicant and public are no longer present. She inquired if he would like to reconsider
it at 1:30 so the public that was present and the Applicant can be notified to have

Zembower requested clarification if the Board is being told they cannot do it. Mr. Applegate responded the Applicant should
be present to be absolutely safe.

public hearing. Commissioner Constantine
was on the affirmative side and he does have the right to bring it back up,
which Mr. Applegate confirmed is correct. Chairman Carey stated the Board does have the

Tamara Edwards, representative for the estate of Gwendolyn Ingram,
5560 Arnold Palmer Drive, addressed the Board stating Ms. Ingram was her
mother. Chairman Carey stated she
understands that Ms. Edwards does not qualify for assistance from the County
because she does not have title to the property yet. She explained that if the County abates the
property, a lien would be put against the property, and at the time Ms. Edwards
would get the probate settled or she could sell the property, the lien would be
settled. Speaker Request Form was

Item #26 – 2019-0027
Land Development Code Amendment/
Establish Sidewalk Fund
Bill Wharton, Planning and Development
Division, addressed the Board to present the request as outlined in the agenda
memorandum. Discussion ensued among the
Commissioners and Mr. Wharton. Chairman
Carey mentioned she did not see anything in the Ordinance in connection with an
appeal process. Commissioner Lockhart
wondered if the voluntary contribution by the developer was inclusive of the
anticipated cost to do the grading at the time the sidewalk would be going in,
which could potentially be years later.
Ms. Guillet commented that what is required to go into preparing the
site will vary from site to site, so she does not think you can really quantify
what the prep costs would be.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Zembower, Public Works Director Jean Jreij answered the
purpose of this is if they have development but they do not have an adjacent
sidewalk, the developer will design it and show it on the plan as a future
sidewalk, and prep it and sod it and pay only for the concrete per linear
foot. For a situation like the sidewalk
goes nowhere, that can be waived and it will not be prepped or considered in
the future; that is a different case.
Ms. Guillet advised they cannot collect funds for a particular sidewalk
project and use them elsewhere. Further
discussion ensued along with comments by the County Manager and the County
Attorney Bryant Applegate. Mr. Applegate
added when an applicant is asked if they willing to voluntarily pay into a
sidewalk fund where money can be used somewhere else, and they agree, that is
not a legal issue. Mr. Jreij stated if
they have a development, and in that development they have no sidewalk on that
street and it goes nowhere, the developer has to prep it still because if the
County comes back to construct a sidewalk, they need to be able to construct it
and to have the right-of-way. That is
what the fee is based upon. Also, if
they have an area where it goes nowhere, they can pay a fee and the County can
use it somewhere else if they are not going to construct that sidewalk.
Chairman
Carey indicated she would like to see a sidewalk program where it is a special
set of circumstances and let the sidewalk funds be able to be used anywhere in
the county. Commissioner Zembower
concurred. Commissioner Dallari said he
would like to continue the item.
Motion
by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to continue to October 22, 2019 at 1:30
p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, the request to consider an Ordinance
amending the Land Development Code to create a Sidewalk Fund that may be used
for development projects within Seminole County.
With regard to public participation, Blaine
Darrah, 1624 Cherry Ridge Drive, addressed the Board to voice his
comments. A Public Comment Form was not
received, and no one in the audience spoke in regard to the continuance, so
public input was closed.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT
Nicole Guillet, County Manager, advised she reached out to the County
Manager in Volusia County in relation to SunRail as requested in the last
meeting. The concept that Volusia County
wants to pull out of SunRail has been overstated. They are concerned about the construction of
the Deland Station, and they don’t have any interest in having that station
developed at this time. The State has
come up with $34 million to construct the station, but Volusia has concerns, in
part because they do not believe that that will be enough money. Their funding share when the station is
constructed is a $19.5 million commitment and they are not prepared to move
forward at this time. They are committed
to remaining a SunRail funding partner with respect to the DeBary
Station and meeting their commitment with regard to that when it is turned back
over to the local governments to fund.
If they moved forward with the SunRail agreement in absence of the
Deland station, the impact to Seminole’s operating cost would be about $200,000
a year in the scheme of $8 million plus.
Commissioner Dallari noted the maintenance of the rail between the two
stations has not been addressed yet. If
they do go to Deland, the cost to the County goes down, and if they don’t, the
cost goes up. Chairman Carey stated as
they get to the end of the SunRail conversation where they have to start making
some decisions and they know what others are doing, there will need to be a
briefing update on where they are at, what they need to do and what the recommendations
are. Commissioner Dallari commented that
there has been some dialogue that the seven years does not start until the
system is complete, and the system is not complete until you go from Poinciana
to Deland.
-------
Ms. Guillet reported on the situation with the water tower in
Casselberry. The City is looking for
ways to incentivize Verizon to move a little more quickly on moving the antenna
off the tower so they can take down the tower.
Commissioner Lockhart recommended the County Manager write a letter to
Verizon on behalf of the Board encouraging them to get the issue resolved. The
Board agreed.
-------
Ms. Guillet advised they will be hosting the Mayors and Managers
meeting and she put the Interlocal Agreement with the School Board on the
agenda. They want to talk to the
managers at the meeting about how this may affect their cities.
-------
Ms. Guillet talked about a few things they are working on in the
Building Division. There were some
changes to the Private Provider Ordinance during the last legislative session
in connection with building inspections and plans review. They are trying to look at what the
administrative costs will look like.
They will be bringing something forward soon for the Board’s
approval. She also discussed staffing
and building permit fees.
-------
Ms. Guillet advised they received re-accreditation for their Parks
program. She congratulated staff.
-------
Ms. Guillet noted they are having a rabies clinic and in association
with that, they are going to have a “domestic animal shot day” for employees’
pets.
COUNTY ATTORNEY’S REPORT

County Bar Association on “Baseball and Ethics.”
-------

assessed what they have available in the parking lot and noted they do have the
Purple Heart sign posted. He asked that
it be expedited.
District 4
Commissioner Lockhart stated she has four recommendations for Rescue
Outreach Mission board members. Two
stakeholders that they have in this community are the Sheriff’s Department and
the School District; both entities rely heavily on that being a
well-functioning shelter. The Sheriff’s
Office would like to appoint Chief Lisa Spriggs, their CFO, and Chief Laura
Bedard, the Chief of the jail who interacts with Rescue Outreach Mission
regularly. The School District talked
with Dr. Walt Griffin, Superintendent, and he said it would be very helpful for
them if they could have Amy Elwood from their social worker team be a part of
that in addition to one of the School Board members that could be a counterpart
to Commissioner Zembower. She noted
there is a lot of benefit to having those two stakeholders have representation
on that board with a lot of different community resources available to them. The Commissioners gave their opinions in
regard to the makeup of the Mission board.
Chairman Carey stated she has been looking for a turnaround team and
as Commissioner Lockhart stated, it is not an easy task.
Motion by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to
appoint to the Rescue Outreach Mission board, one representative from the
Sheriff’s Office and one member representative from
the School District, and staff member Amy Elwood as the backup.
Chairman Carey suggested a friendly
amendment to appoint Chief Lisa Spriggs from the Sheriff’s Office and the
School Board member, whoever they decide, and Chief Laura Bedard and Amy Elwood
as alternates.
Commissioners Lockhart and Dallari agreed to the amendment.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Commissioner Lockhart stated now that they are at a point that they
are not at a flashpoint and they are not bargaining with any unit, she would
like to have Paul Carland from Seminole State Board
of Trustees, the in-house counsel at the college and a subject-matter expert on
interest-based bargaining, come and do a presentation for this Board. She suggested inviting the Fire Department so
they are all on the same page. She added
interest-based bargaining requires two willing parties, and from conversations
she has had with Chief Oakes and Chief Kinley and some other members of the
union, there is interest.
-------
Commissioner Lockhart noted they receive revisions to the BCC agenda
in different formats and it is hard to tell which is most current. Discussion ensued regarding the need for a
date and time stamp for revisions to the agenda. Chairman Carey added it would also help to
have a reason for the revisions.
-------
Commissioner Lockhart talked about her visit to the Information
Services Department and James Garoutsos’ team.
Chairman Carey mentioned as a reminder to the County Manager that they

Commissioner Zembower reported that he attended the Central Florida
Beef Council dinner at the Yarborough Ranch.
Cattlemen are looking here, as well as statewide, at the increase in
non-beef, plant-based meats in our diets that people may or may not understand
they are getting from some of the fast foods.
They are pursuing legislation to truly identify and get disclosure to
the consumer of what is beef and what is not beef. Also, a new technology that has been deployed
across the country and Florida, as one of the calf-producing champions
throughout the country, is an origin electronic tracker. So now every head of cattle will have
electronic tracking to know where it came from to protect the health of the
public.
Commissioner Zembower stated they continue to struggle in the state;
they are having quite the conversation with South Florida Water Management
District impacting some of their availability to water on some of the
ranches. They anticipate that is also
going to be a bigger problem as things progress northward in the state. They will be working very closely with local
governments and water management districts to ensure their herds are able to
get the water they need, but to also ensure they are good stewards of the land
and not impacting water quality as well.
District 5
Chairman Carey reported on the Sanford
Airport passenger count.
