LED lighting. She stated that staff is
going to check with FDOT. She noted that
the cost of LED lighting in the last year and a half has dropped dramatically
and the recovery time is about two and a half years. LED lighting is more efficient; and as
technology changes and this lighting becomes available, she hopes staff will
look at that before they "let" this contract.
Chairman
Dallari stated that if there is Board consensus, they will ask the County
Manager to ensure that any time the County is doing a roadway project, staff
will look at the possibility of LED. No objections were voiced. Ms. Guillet advised she has gotten a
"thumbs up" from Public Works.

COUNTY
ATTORNEY’S AGENDA
Bryant
Applegate, County Attorney, explained that this is a request for the Board’s
approval for Seminole County to agree to the dismissal of the Medicaid Contribution
Lawsuit that was filed by a number of counties throughout the state of Florida
in 2012 over the dispute with Medicaid collections. Mr. Applegate reviewed the history of the
lawsuit.
With
regard to Public Participation, no one in the audience spoke in support or in
opposition to this item and Public input was closed.
Motion by Commissioner Horan, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve the
dismissal with prejudice of the Medicaid Contribution Lawsuit, Alachua
County, et al v. Dudek, et al., Case No.: 2012-CA-1328 (Fla. 2nd
Cir. Ct.).
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
voted AYE.
-------
Mr. Applegate presented
the County Manager Employment Contract between Seminole County and Nicole
Guillet and advised he has distributed copies of the proposed contract for the
Board’s consideration.
Commissioner Henley
explained that before meeting to begin to negotiate an agreement, they were
able to get copies of the compensation packages for Lake County, Volusia
County, Brevard County, Osceola County, Collier County, and Sarasota
County. He pointed out that the
compensation that has been recommended is slightly more than two of the
counties but less than four of the counties.
He believes it is a fair amount and recommends approval. Chairman Dallari thanked Commissioner Henley
for spending the time to negotiate this with not just the County Manager but
also with the County Attorney.
With regard to Public
Participation, no one in the audience spoke in support or in opposition to this
item and Public input was closed.
Commissioner Carey thanked
Commissioner Henley for the time that he spent in doing the research to come to
his conclusion and she stated she supports the salary that he recommends. She explained there are two issues she has
discussed with the County Manager that she would like to bring up for the
Board's consideration. The first one is
in Section 2 where it talks about salary.
She stated she really believes the County's top management should be
paid for their performance and the agreement states that annually there will be
a review of that. Rather than have the
Manager included in any across-the-board raise, she would like the Board to
consider it on an annual basis; and if they decide to include her, they
certainly have the right to do that.
Regarding the severance
package, Commissioner Carey commented that the last two contracts they have had
with the County Manager and the County Attorney contained a four-month
severance package. She stated she has
discussed both of these items with the County Manager and she is agreeable to
those two changes. She questioned if the
Board will concur with those two recommended changes. Commissioner Henley stated he has no problem
with that if the County Manager is in agreement. Ms. Guillet advised that she has no objection
to those changes.
Discussion ensued with
regard to performance standards and evaluations.
Mr. Applegate asked for
confirmation that the change in Section 2 will be "adjustment to Manager's
salary shall be reviewed annually in accordance with performance
standards. The Board shall determine
each year if the County Manager is entitled to an increase in
salary." Chairman Dallari agreed
that is the intent. Mr. Applegate
confirmed that with regard to severance, the amount of time will change from 20
weeks to 16 weeks. Commissioner Carey
suggested that it say "and not be included in general adjustment unless
approved by the Board of County Commissioners" or something along those
lines. Chairman Dallari suggested they
put language in that it "needs to be approved by the Board prior to
increase."
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan, to approve and
authorize the Chairman to execute the amended County Manager Employment
Contract, as shown on page _______, between Seminole County and Nicole Guillet.

COUNTY ATTORNEY
BRIEFING
Mr. Applegate discussed the process for the
Annual Ethics, Sunshine Law, and Public Records Training for the Board of
County Commissioners. He stated that the
Commissioners can do this training either on-line, like they did last year, and
he will fill in with the Sunshine Law and Public Records training in a separate
briefing; or they can have one special work session to do the training. Chairman Dallari questioned whether the State
of Florida requires the State Representatives and State Senators to do this training. Mr. Applegate stated they are not required to
do this particular training but they are required to do some type of
training. At Chairman Dallari’s request,
Mr. Applegate stated he will get the information regarding that training and
report back to the Board.
Chairman Dallari recessed the meeting at 10:10 a.m.,
reconvening at 10:15 a.m.
Commissioner Horan stated he believes by discharging
their obligation for ethics training by having a public work session sends a
positive message to the public that Seminole County Commission is willing to
take the training and take it during a public work session from its County
Attorney. He stated he supports the work
session option.
Commissioner Carey questioned whether or not
everyone who files a Form-6 is required to do ethics training. Mr. Applegate indicated he would look at the
statute but commented that all of the Commissioners have to take the training, that
the training is for elected officials.
Commissioner Carey stated she believes it would be good for top
management to have the training. She
stated if the County Attorney is going to spend a day providing the training
for the Board, if they opt to go that way, she believes it would be smart to
ask the management teams to also sit through the training at the same time
rather than doing it more than once.
Commissioner Constantine questioned whether or not
the board members of the various committees should attend. Mr. Applegate stated he does those briefings
at the particular advisory board meetings.
Commissioner Carey stated rather than do the training multiple times, if
the County Attorney is going to take the time to put on a course, it might be
smarter to do it one time and have it open to all. She suggested that if the training is done in
the chambers, which is very public, they could put a lot of people in there.
Chairman Dallari questioned if there was consensus
to do the training in a work session. No objections were voiced.
Commissioner Constantine suggested they invite the
board members, whether they are quasi-judicial or not, that make
recommendations to the BCC. He believes
it would be nice to have them at the training or at least to extend the
invitation. He acknowledged that it will
certainly be difficult to get everyone here for the training; so obviously
there should be an option of doing it on-line, if necessary. He thinks to try and get all of their calendars
together, if possible, would be a great idea.
Discussion ensued with regard to the scheduling of
the work session.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Chairman Dallari pointed out that staff, under the
leadership of the County Manager, is doing a management report about Fire
Service. He would like them to include
Station #29 and Station #65 in that report.
He would like to know what the potential is of combining those stations
and how they move forward or not move forward with the stations. He would like to understand how that could
best be reviewed so they can plan for that for the future.
-------
Chairman Dallari distributed a letter (copy received
and filed) he received from the Health Counsel of East Central Florida regarding
several individuals that have been absent excessively. He stated that at the next Board meeting, he
would like to ask the Board to make some new appointments. Commissioner Carey reminded the Commissioners
that there are specific criteria for those two appointments.
-------
Chairman Dallari reported that he received a
"job well done" from Christine Gonzalez for Scott Honour, Matt
Nevins, John Scott, Edward Ruping and Josh Pendo (members of the Fire Rescue
Unit in Oviedo) for the kind and compassionate care given to her aunt that
passed away. He stated he also received
a "job well done" from Colette Stoval for the honoring of Chief
William G. Collette.
-------
Chairman Dallari requested that Director Heather
Smith be appointed as the Seminole County Sheriff's Office representative to
the Seminole County Animal Control Board.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan, to appoint Director
Heather Smith as the Seminole County Sheriff's Office representative to the
Seminole County Animal Control Board, by Resolution #2014-R-204, as shown on
page _______.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Chairman Dallari distributed a letter (copy received
and filed) from NGI Investments and explained that it is a non-binding Letter
of Intent to purchase approximately one acre of vacant land. He thanked Commissioner Constantine for
presenting this to the County Manager.
He explained that this is about the land swap that the Board has talked
about regarding the property on Montgomery and SR 436 and the property adjacent
to the Sports Complex property. He
stated he would like to talk about putting the property by the Sports Complex
property under contract to either buy or swap.
He thinks they could look at what is the best way to go, to either sell
the property on Montgomery and then do an exchange or to actually swap it. He would like to get consensus from the Board
to ask the County Manager to take that direction.
Commissioner Constantine stated he has been an
advocate of surplusing that property and seeing about the ability of selling it
first. After the previous meeting where
they were talking about the swap, he made a couple of phone calls; and within a
rather quick time, he received some interest in presenting a contract. If they can surplus this and put it out with
a requirement that the County would take bids from $1.5 million net and above,
even if they went out and bought the other property, they would have a minimum
of $250,000 that they would be able to put into the coffers of the
taxpayers. He believes they should
pursue the surplusing and the selling of the property.
Chairman Dallari stated they can do both at the same
time; they can put the property under contract so they tie it up as well as
advertise the property on Montgomery or do the land swap. They are doing both at the same time to try
to get the best value and get flexibility.
Commissioner Carey emphasized that obviously, if
they were going to look at going out to the market with the site at Montgomery
and SR 436 and not do it in the fashion of a land swap, they would have to put
it out there for everyone to be able to have an opportunity. Chairman Dallari stated he is using this
letter as an example and that is the reason he handed it out. He was talking to staff about it and became
aware of this and thought maybe they should go both directions, trying to do a
land swap and/or purchase and figure out which is the best way to do it. If the purchase price doesn't come back in
the appropriate value, then they can do the swap. If it does come back higher, then they can
actually purchase it. Chairman Dallari
pointed out that is why it is important to have a contract for the piece that
is adjacent to the Sports Complex.
Commissioner Carey stated that just from a timing standpoint,
they need to put the property that they are trying to acquire under contract
and the terms of that contract would be that they will either pay cash for it
or exchange it at the County's option.
Then it would have to be advertised at the same time. She remarked that to keep on track, the Board
probably needs to give some direction today in order to continue this moving.
Commissioner Constantine noted that in talking with
Mr. Forte, he learned that at the current time the land swap is really at a standstill
until the owners of the property they had talked about swapping with evaluate
what they have to do to clean up the property.
Joe Forte, Deputy County Manager, stated there is some contamination on
the property that is being evaluated by E-Sciences and he should be getting a
report back from them sometime later this week.
Once they get those results back, they will know what the mitigation
response needs to be and that will be the responsibility of the current
owners. He added that he has not
directed anyone to go ahead and advertise the swap until the results come back.
Chairman Dallari clarified the reason why it is
appropriate to bring this up today is because they want dual tracks, dual
methods; and this would be the time to do it.
Commissioner Carey remarked that she does not have a problem doing dual
tracks but she believes that they need to put a minimum net amount in the
advertisement for the excess property and make sure it is a good opportunity for
the County. Chairman Dallari stated he
believes the minimum amount, like Commissioner Carey is suggesting, is
appropriate. Commissioner Henley agreed
with Commissioner Carey as long as they maintain the option to do what is in
the best interest of the County.
Commissioner Horan stated the direction they really
need to give to staff is that with whatever the appropriate legal procedure is
to go dual tracks, the County's feet are not placed in concrete when they advertise,
whether it is swap or surplus or whatever the particular procedure is, and they
retain the ability and the discretion to do whatever is the best deal under
whatever the legal process is. He stated
the direction to give to staff is they want to be able to have the flexibility
to swap or sell under the particular surplus procedures that gives them the
best value.
Mr. Applegate commented that this has been a great
discussion and explained that he and the County Manager have already talked
about the matter. He stated he will make
sure that the legal requirements and the regulations on swaps will be complied
with. They will talk about the timing of
all of this so there is a coherent, cohesive legal plan in place before they go
any further.
Commissioner Carey explained why she believes before
they start advertising to do the excess property, they should get a contract on
the piece that is important to the overall Complex and make it subject to
either a land swap or flat-out purchase.
They can agree on the price, agree on the terms and subject it to the
cleanup to their satisfaction.
Mr. Applegate and Ms. Guillet confirmed they do believe
they have direction.
-------
Chairman Dallari reported that he received
an email from Kathy Ramsburger regarding the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts
Center. He reminded the Board that they
spoke a little over a year ago to Ms. Ramsburger referencing funds. He suggested they get with the County Manager;
and if there is direction from the Board, the County Manager can bring that
back.
Commissioner Carey stated they have had wonderful
partnerships throughout the region and she believes this will add a new
dimension to Central Florida. They have
not been known for having a high-end performing arts center. She stated she does not have any problem in
continuing to look at how they can do that, even looking back at how they spend
the small amount of money they invest in the arts to make sure they are getting
the best return on investment for the citizens when it comes to the arts.

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS’
REPORTS
Commissioner Horan discussed the recent
successful fundraising event by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Seminole
County. The "Faces of the
Future" event raised over $135,000, which exceeds by more than $50,000 the
best they have ever done at a previous event of that type.
-------
Commissioner Horan discussed the eastern rural areas
and the conditions of the roads out there when there is a lot of rain. He explained there are a series of unpaved
roads, private roads, which are in the area near Lake Harney off of the Osceola
Road area that have 20 to 40 residents living on them. There is no homeowner's association and no
MSTU. Commissioner Horan stated he was
out in the area with the Sheriff's Office and with the County's Public Safety
and Emergency people and advised the roads are in deplorable shape. He is working with the residents to try and
solve the problem that they have out there.
He added they do need some kind of a solution because there is a
critical mass of public safety and public health issues because of the
accumulation of water and mosquitoes. He
noted he is working with the County Manager and may be bringing that to the
Board with some proposed solutions in the future.
Commissioner Carey questioned whether or not the
residents would be willing to form a voluntary homeowner's association or look
at dedicating a right-of-way. She
explained that was the problem before, that they couldn't get on the dirt
paving program because they weren't willing to turn the roads over or dedicate a
right-of-way. Discussion ensued with
regard to the roads and the homeowners living on those roads.
Commissioner Carey stated she would think there is
something in the County Code that requires people that have private roads to
keep them maintained to a certain level so they don't become a health and
safety issue. Commissioner Horan replied
that he does not know whether the County has that. Commissioner Carey stated if they don't, they
may want to consider that.
-------
Commissioner Horan stated that he has talked to some
homeowners who have property contiguous to the Boar's Nest property. He confirmed with Chairman Dallari that there
will be a work session in the next several weeks with regard to the County's
plans on that property.
-------
Commissioner Horan discussed the recent 17-92 RPA
(Regional Planning Agency) meeting. He
noted that Winter Springs will be bringing back the project involving Shepard
Road, which was moved basically because of recent actions by the CRA off the
master plan list, off the CIP, and off the priority list. They are doing the other project that Winter
Springs proposed on SR 434 using sales tax money. On the Florida Avenue project, there is a DOT
project going in there now. He stated
his suggestion to the City of Winter Springs when they said they wanted to
bring this up again was if they can combine some infrastructure improvements
together with the improvements that are being made there and also have in their
own CIP program money that is put on the table to leverage whatever money that
is in the CRA, that would be the best way to approach that.
-------
Commissioner Constantine reported that he attended
the Sanford Chamber of Commerce's Industry Recognition dinner last week. He added that he attended the Council of
Local Governments (CALNO) on October 1st at Seminole State College where they
talked about their wellness program and the opportunities of the public/private
partnership. He stated Seminole State
stated they had been in discussion with the County regarding their wellness
program and he believes that may be something the County may want to take a
look at and stay aware of. It is located
on land the College already owns and they are looking at private partnerships
also.
-------
Commissioner Constantine discussed the meeting he,
along with Commissioner Henley and Ms. Guillet, attended with the Rolling Hills
Homeowners Association and a number of other homeowners associations that was
held at Altamonte Elementary School.
-------
Commissioner Constantine reported on the 4H picnic
that he attended last week. He stated he
really admires and respects those young folks and what they were doing and what
they continue to do here in Seminole County.
-------
Commissioner Constantine announced that on October
15 there is going to be an employee and family art contest here at the County
Services Building.
-------
Commissioner Constantine expressed his concerns
about Orange County and the large growth that is going to be potentially
happening in the Lake Pickett area.
Tina Williamson, Acting Development Services
Director, addressed the Board to report that her department has been monitoring
the project, which was formally known as the Rybolt DRI. It is now in for a land use amendment and the
associated text amendments with Orange County.
They are currently calling it the Rural Transition Area. She noted that currently there are not any
firm dates scheduled for public hearings.
It may go to their LPA (Local Planning Agency) in December and their
Board in January for transmittal; but at this time, none of those dates has
been firmed up and it is still under review.
Commissioner Constantine explained the concerns he
has regarding this project and how it will affect the people that live on the
Seminole County side of Lake Pickett. He
stated he is afraid if they don't get some sort of formal process with Orange
County, they will wake up one day and find out that an agreement has been made
without any consideration of what happens on the County's side of that
area.
Chairman Dallari questioned Ms. Williamson as to
when she last had an update from Orange County.
Ms. Williamson responded the most recent update was September 24. Chairman Dallari advised that when he spoke
with Mayor Jacobs last week about this, she informed him that the Rybolt piece
withdrew their application. Ms. Williamson
stated she will follow up on that and report back to the Board.
Commissioner Carey discussed why the County chose to
monitor this process instead of doing something formal. She noted that until Orange County comes up
with a plan for the County to review, the County could spend a lot of staff
time trying to figure out what somebody might come up with. She suggested that perhaps Ms. Williamson
could monitor it a little closer and speak to Susan Caswell, Orange County
Planning Manager, directly.
Commissioner Horan noted that they have been talking
about these kinds of things with Orange County for decades now. He stated the people of Seminole County have
gone in a little different direction. He
believes the extension of the urban services line is something that is
inevitable in Orange County given the direct connection to whatever is going on
with the University of Central Florida.
He pointed out that this will continue to be a pressure point between
the two counties. Other than monitoring
the process very, very closely, he does not know what more they can do at this particular
time.
Chairman Dallari advised that one of the things that
will be discussed at today's work session regarding the one-cent sales tax will
be doing a nutrient study for Lake Pickett and Lake Mills.
Commissioner Constantine reiterated that as there
are negotiations, he believes the County needs to be able to give suggestions
and advice and tell them what will be harmful to Seminole County if they go
down that path. He stated Seminole
County should be worried about Seminole County citizens and believes whatever
formal or more aggressive informal position they can take as this happens, they
should do so.
-------
Commissioner Henley stated he received a letter of
resignation from Mark Plebanski, his appointee to the Tourist Development
Council, for medical reasons. He noted he
will come forth with a recommendation for a replacement at the next meeting.
-------
Commissioner Henley reported he gave some requests
that he received by mail from LYNX for some committee appointments to the
County Manager. He pointed out that the
Audit Committee is being restructured and they are asking for each of the
funding partners to recommend an official person for that committee. Also, a Citizens Service Committee and Risk
Management Committee are being established and they are asking for recommendations
for appointments on that. He noted that
he gave it to the County Manager for input since some of the appointments may
be staff members and he hopes she can help and come forth with some names for
consideration by this Board.
-------
Commissioner Henley stated that at the last TDC
meeting, because of the resignation of the director at the Zoo, he was asked a
question afterwards as to whether there would be an audit made before the new
manager is selected, which in most places generally occurs. He stated he could not answer the question
but believes it would be appropriate to make sure everything is clear before
the new person comes in. He pointed out
that he does not necessarily think that it is the BCC's responsibility;
although, since they approve tourist development money, they could initiate an
audit. He thinks it would be better
coming from the Zoo Board of Directors.
-------
Commissioner Henley stated that as Commissioner
Constantine reported, there were 400 people at Altamonte Elementary School for the
Rolling Hills meeting. Commissioner
Henley stated the County Manager did a good job in helping to answer questions
coming from the group. Both Code
Enforcement and Planning made a presentation so the people could understand
what the process is in dealing with issues they are confronted with out
there. The group has a steering committee
and two attorneys and is very concerned as to the impact regarding the decision
made by the new owners and what the future of those 120 acres will be. He believes most of them understand they need
to assume that the golf course is not going to be there as it is now but the
120 acres will be there.
Commissioner Carey questioned staff as to when they can
expect to see the golf course code enforcement language come forward. She added that they have quite a few other
golf courses on the edge to experience the same thing. She pointed out the BCC has asked for some
strict changes to Code Enforcement to deal specifically with golf courses.
Ms. Guillet stated she knows staff has been working
on it. She committed on their behalf to
bring something back to the Board at the November meeting.
Commissioner Henley stated he hopes staff is looking
beyond just golf courses, although that is a major concern right now. He mentioned there are some businesses that
have gone out of business and gave an example.
Ms. Williamson stated they are currently researching
and putting together information on existing ordinances in other jurisdictions
for not only maintenance of golf courses but also maintenance of other
commercial or improved properties if they were to close down. They will put that together and bring it back
to the Board.
Ms. Guillet explained the gap is on previously
improved properties that are now abandoned and the Code doesn't really address
those. She added it won't just be golf
courses but it will be anything that was once improved and is now no longer in
use.
-------

Chairman Dallari described his trip to the City of Houston
last week regarding homelessness. He
explained Houston has reduced the chronically homeless population significantly
over the last three years. He stated
they are trying to take the lessons learned, both positive and negative, and
implement that in Central Florida.
Chairman Dallari noted that on the trip were Buddy Dyer, Teresa Jacobs,
and Don Fisher from Osceola County. Mr.
Fisher will be putting together a meeting with the three counties as well as
the City of Orlando to discuss the next step forward to try and bring the
region together where they will speak with one mission, one voice, one
action.
Commissioner Carey pointed out that one thing that
has come out of the homelessness discussion as a region is that they all have
very different problems. She then
described some of those problems and how the various jurisdictions have formed
committees to each look at their own specifics and come back and report on how
they will resolve some of those issues.
Chairman Dallari stated that even though there are
different needs throughout the three-county area, there needs to be an
integrated plan so everyone knows how the plan will unfold.

Chairman Dallari thanked Mr. Forte, who will be
going to Holly Hill, for his years of service to Seminole County.
