Awards and Presentations

Glenn Casel, representative from the CBC (Community Based Care) of Seminole, addressed the Board to state a couple weeks ago they held their annual Oscars Ball and recognized several local leaders in the community and wanted to recognize Chairman Henley, but he was sick that evening. They wanted to come today and express their public thanks to him as the 2006 Lawmaker of the Year for his continued commitment to Seminole County and its children. Mr. Casel presented the award to Chairman Henley, who accepted and expressed that the recognition is appropriate for each of the Board members because of what they have done and the relationship in working with CBC, which has been supported by the Board and County staff. He said he merely brought to the Board’s attention what he perceived as a need in this County, particularly for those individuals aging out of the care system. The Board stepped forward along with staff and Leadership Seminole to make that an outstanding addition and service to the community for those in need. He expressed thanks to Mr. Casel and his organization.

Roy Reid, Chairman of the Government Affairs Committee, addressed the Board to give an update on the Seminole County Regional Chamber. He thanked the Seminole County Chamber for their continued support and thanked Chairman Henley for being an ex-officio Board member with the Chamber. He advised that Andrew Van Gaale (Sanford Airport) and Ryan Houck (LYNX) are also present today with him. He provided a packet (received and filed) to the Board containing various information about the Chamber, its directory and Board members. He said this year the Chamber adopted, for the first time, a five-year strategic plan, and he read the six goals that are a part of that plan: (1) Improve the Chamber membership’s geographic representation throughout Seminole County; (2) Promote economic development activities in Seminole County; (3) Grow Chamber membership; (4) Retain membership based on value delivered to members; (5) Demonstrate leadership and partner on regional issues impacting Seminole County and Central Florida; and (6) Operate the Chamber in a professional and business-like manner. Mr. Reid thanked the Board for their time and said he looks forward to working closely with each Commissioner.

The Commissioners expressed thanks and good luck to Mr. Reid.

Tawny H. Olore, P.E., Rail Transit Project Manager, addressed the Board to give a PowerPoint (copy received and filed) presentation on the commuter rail system covering the following topics: Opportunities; Overview of the Agreement, Central Florida; Compensation, Central Florida; Overview of the Agreement, Statewide; Compensation, Statewide; Outstanding Issues; What’s Next; Central Florida Commuter Rail Overview; Operating Plan; Amenities; Proposed Sanford Station; Proposed Longwood Station; Proposed Lake Mary Station; Proposed Altamonte Springs Station; Commuter Rail Benefits; Commuter Rail Costs; and What’s Next. Other documents, Florida Department of Transportation Summary of Agreement in Principle Between CSXT and FDOT, and Central Florida Commuter Rail Quality Time, were also received and filed.

Chairman Henley asked if Ms. Olore knew how much parking would be available for each of the Seminole County stations. She advised those numbers (given in the slide presentation booklet) for the commuter parking lots, stating Altamonte Springs would be the largest as it is showing the largest ridership.

Commissioner Morris thanked Ms. Olore for the excellent communication campaign they are conducting. He said a couple things he thinks are important for the Board to review are that O&M under this scenario will be taken care of until 2016. That means at the end of that time, there will be a surprise waiting for the government to take over those costs. The County Commission will need to contemplate and begin working with the municipalities on a countywide basis on how they will take over the O&M costs. The other concern to him is that this will be theoretically up and running in Year 2009. Under the design elements for the stations, at one point there were discussions about enhancements and individual stations if the local jurisdictions thought about that. He asked if it was still part of the consideration that there would not be one uniform design everywhere, but there may actually be some differences. Ms. Olore stated that is correct, and recently she met with the city of Longwood and they expressed that interest, as well as Altamonte and Sanford.

Commissioner Morris said the capital cost is going to increase from what was originally thought, and he was told by County staff that would not be a problem for the County to meet. The County has not had discussions yet with individual jurisdictions on construction of the individual stations. He said the County needs to work out something with the jurisdictions and DOT with respect to increased costs they may have because of their design criteria.

Ms. Olore explained it is laid out now that DOT will have an interlocal agreement with the four County partners and a joint use agreement at each of the stations. Their lawyers are starting to work on that. The agreement will address revenue generation as well as some of the cost overruns. She advised Commissioner Morris that DOT is proposing that the revenue generations at the different stations from ancillary sources would go back to the different counties. There will be some system revenues that would go back into the systems. She also said DOT would draft some model agreements for Orange and Seminole counties to work with the local jurisdictions. She stated they are now working on the interlocal agreement with the local jurisdictions between DOT and the four counties. Once that is set, then they will begin working on the joint development agreements for each particular station.

Commissioner Morris said there is a short time frame for this type of build-out. It is critical for each of these stations, and the land around it, how they will develop in the future. There needs to be a small area plan for each of the stations. He said now, there is no concurrent planning that relates to these type stations in any one of the jurisdictions. These need to be in some kind of dry planning now with the time line that anticipates the planning Ms. Olore is talking about. Otherwise, they will have a mess around these stations, which would become blighted areas instead of great economic redevelopment areas. He added that this is something the County really needs to be proactive on and meeting with the cities now.

Ms. Coto advised that she and Jerry McCollum, County Engineer, have had some discussions that relate to this and will be scheduling some meetings with the cities to begin these discussions. She said she agrees they need to have some preliminary discussions as it relates to costs, designs, etc.

Commissioner Morris suggested Ms. Coto take DOT’s optimistic date (December, 2009) for opening and back it up to see there is a time crunch. In this case, DOT can get the trains on the track faster than the County can get the other things going.

Jerry McCollum, County Engineer, addressed the Board to state some of these conversations have been taking place on a very preliminary basis. He has personally met with the city of Altamonte Springs and talked in general. They are going through the agreement and getting the interlocal, but will also look at the type of things that can happen with land use, which is staggering in many ways. Also, he said representatives from the city of Sanford are here today, and he is setting up an appointment with them to talk. He has heard that the city of Longwood is looking at some items, but they have not contacted the County yet; however, County staff will be talking to them also.

Commissioner Morris said there should be no reinvention of the wheel with this. There are successful models in Dallas, St. Louis, and Portland and they have all done these small areas around their stations.

Chairman Henley asked if staff runs into an impasse in discussions with the cities, who makes the decision as to whether the station will remain or whether it will be moved to another location. Mr. McCollum said at this stage, the County is the entity funding everything, so he thinks the County would have a lot to say about that. He said his conversations with DOT have been that DOT is trying to leave everything up to local government as to where the stations are located.

Commissioner Carey said for development, three years is a very short time line. She thinks the opportunities for public/private partnerships at the stations are something that takes a lot of discussion to get to. The County has not even started talking about that yet, and that could take the cost down significantly if they have other partners involved in this as well. She doesn’t want them to lose the opportunity to do that because they have to rush to get the station open. She said she would like for staff to start the public/private partnership discussions about how some of those might look and if they could get a private developer to build to suit with lease back or build to suit to operate. Also, there is the opportunity for retail that may make sense. She said this has been a long time coming and, for many years they have seen a lot of opportunities come and go; and, hopefully, this won’t blow up at the 11^th hour with issues that may still arise with CSX.

Commissioner Dallari expressed thanks to Ms. Olore and said he thinks the state and federal government are helping out quite a bit on this issue; and for Central Florida to continue on the path it’s at, they do need to have some type of commuter rail. He said he believes the comments they are hearing are valid ones. He would like to see some type time line to look at the different stations. He feels it would be advantageous if they can get that so they can plug in the different types of land use to master plan around the areas as Commissioner Morris stated.

Commissioner Van Der Weide said there are a lot of cautions that have been made known that makes sense and they need to deal with them.

Chairman Henley asked about the governance of the stations after the period of time that FDOT will be totally in charge.

Ms. Olore stated Secretary Denver Stutler has always said he views this as a local system and he wants the locals to decide how they want to govern it. She said FDOT will be there with the County at the table, but they don’t want to be at the head of the table once the seven years are up.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Olore explained the local participation element during the time of operation of the system by DOT, describing the hiring of a third-party contractor, formation of a Steering Committee and Technical Advisory Committee.

Commissioner Morris said he thinks Mr. Stutler and the Governor need to be complimented on this because this was a fear they had and they saw the problems in South Florida. He sees the potential of this if it continues on this level of intergovernmental cooperation with the understanding that it is ultimately a local system.

Chairman Henley said that is the crucial question. He stated Mr. Stotler made that commitment in Orlando at a meeting and they have fulfilled that. The problem they could run into is that there is always turnover. He thinks it is crucial that whoever comes into place will honor the commitments that have been made or otherwise they will have a problem.

Commissioner Carey stated this will require close coordination with Lynx and Voltran, because people must have a way to get where they’re going or they will not ride the system. Chairman Henley said that’s why Lynx is starting to try to gear up in order to shorten the wait times and so forth; and Seminole County as well as Orange County and the others stepped up this time with a larger commitment in order to start, because it’s going to take significantly more buses to serve and a study of existing routes as to what adjustments need to be made in order to service the stations.

Ms. Olore stated they have put together an operating plan that Lynx has reviewed, and they are having a meeting next week with Lynx and Voltran to talk about this. She advised they are in the process of setting up a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) workshop. Experts will be brought in from the consulting business to show examples of other systems around the country and will be inviting all the county partners as well as the jurisdictions. They hope to have that next month.

Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Olore said she is always available to speak to various organizations. Whereupon, Chairman Henley said he thinks it is important for the public to have a clear understanding of what is going to happen and what the potential impact is of the cost. Chairman Henley expressed appreciation to Ms. Olore for coming to share with the Board and with the citizens via television.

Regular Agenda

Community Services/Community Assistance

The request for distribution of the Community Services Partnership Grant funds in the amount of $1,235,232 to local non-profit agencies through the Community Services Partnership Program (CSA) was presented.

Commissioner Carey discussed her meeting with Director Dave Medley yesterday regarding additional information concerning the budgets of the Community Service agencies requesting funding. A copy of the information, CSA Funding as Percentage of Agency Budget, was received and filed. Commissioner Carey stated that without having all the information, she is hesitant about rubber stamping the recommendations from a committee on funding because she would like more details. She said she would like to look at this request further before the Board approves it in order to have the opportunity to discuss this further with staff.

Chairman Henley stated the Board has discussed for the last two or three years the process in regards to trying to refine how to allocate the funds. Since the requests are growing, this may be the time for the Board to give consideration to adopting some policies. He said he would like to have Mr. Medley give some thought to that and come back with some recommendations for the Board to review regarding a way to get some of the agencies to be more self-sufficient and self-supporting.

Commissioner Van Der Weide said he is not interested in using the term, “weaning,” (of the agencies) because there are obviously more needs than the Board is addressing. It’s a question in his mind of fairness and how they are addressed. The other issue is the fact the County’s budget grows and the amount contributed to the organizations grows insignificantly compared to the overall increases in the budget. There is something wrong with that. He said there has got to be a fair way to do this. Some organizations are questionable, but the needs are still there and they are not going to get rid of all of them.

Chairman Henley stated they went into this system to try to be fairer and take the political aspect out of it. Part of the responsibility in order for the committee to be fair is to make sure the individual submitting the information submits all of it necessary to make the decision. That has always been a big problem. He thinks the area they need to strengthen to be fairer is to make sure the agency provides the service they say they provide.

Commissioner Dallari said it is difficult to see which organizations are actually developing their own funding sources and trying to get more local funding. That is the information he would like to see more of in the future. They need to look at how each organization is trying to stand on its own. He thinks the assistance from the County and how the agency is growing their systems internally from a local aspect is what they should be looking at. Taking this out of the political forum, as they have done, is also important so that they are looking at these on each individual organization’s merit and not on the merit of who can bring to the Board the most compelling story.

Commissioner Morris summarized how the agency requests originally came before the Board. He said he thinks they now have a remarkably disciplined system. The Board violates the discipline every year by a little bit with someone coming up with a little tweak here and there, but nothing earth shattering. He said he agrees the County budget has grown and the Board has not continued increasing the funding to the partners in the community the way the budget has grown, although they have made some strides to do that. In their discussions about these requests, he anticipates every year that the agencies are going to come back and that there will be new folks coming on. The process is working and staff is doing an excellent job. He remembers they also discussed that these groups work cheaper, better and faster than what the Board could do as a county government costing the taxpayers a lot more money. He said some of the groups could rely heavily on federal funding--some have national, regional and fundraising efforts and some have federal grants; while others can’t qualify. It is very difficult to come up with a magic formula. He thinks this is a very good system and the needs being fulfilled are very clear. Seminole County is blessed to have the type of community organizations they have that work together, even with the fundraising efforts.

Chairman Henley said he is interested in knowing what percent of an agency’s budget is going to pay salaries, and what percent is funded by federal or state government in addition to what is requested of the County.

Commissioner Carey stated the agencies that have been around a long time know how to go through the system and have people who do nothing but focus on making sure they get through the system to get funding, but the small agencies don’t have that opportunity. She thinks there has to be some way for those that are providing a good service to be funded, even though they are new and don’t have money to buy the software to complete the reports and this becomes a “catch 22.”

Dave Medley, Director, addressed the Board to state one of the things they do each year when they begin this process is to have very extensive training before the applications come in to try to help those agencies that don’t have the expertise.

Commissioner Carey said she would like to see some of those new agencies involved. She would like to see those local agencies that are providing local services to local people who don’t have the opportunity and can’t qualify for a lot of the national funds. To her, those are the people they should be looking for. She agrees with Commissioner Van Der Weide that the County’s funding should be increased. She would like the Board to look at this closer and see some kind of policies come forward as to how they do that and how they help those start-ups. She wants to see the budget information, because when she sees them providing a huge chunk of a budget and see 40% or 50% of their budget going for salary and benefits for employees, she has a concern with that.

Commissioner Morris said a number of these agencies rely on the Board approving this request and the checks being cut, so delaying this action would be delaying helping the community. He said if Commissioner Carey’s objective is going to be met, they would keep the same system in place for the large grants and have a small grant, which would be easier to comply with. He offered this design when going through the next cycle. He also said the funding from 2005-06 to now is about an 8% increase. He stated he would support the recommendations as presented and then would take care of the next application cycle.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to approve the staff recommendation for distribution of the Community Services Partnership Grant funds in the amount of $1,235,232.00 to local non-profit agencies through the Community Services Partnership Program (CSA) for the purpose of delivering services to improve the lives of Seminole County residents; and authorize the Chairman to execute Contracts, as shown on page _______, with the approved agencies listed.

Under discussion, Commissioner Van Der Weide stated the only way the system is going to change is that the committee gets new direction from the Commissioners. He is hearing one valid point that the people can’t wait for their money. If the Board wants to continue the item to readdress it, they won’t be able to readdress it until they all meet together and the Board makes the decision. He said he doesn’t think they are increasing the budget enough and he thinks the percentage of increase from last year needs to be addressed. He doesn’t think the Board should go forward with the recommendation they now have, but he may have to live with that.

Commissioner Dallari said he thinks they should move forward and bring back these concerns at the mid-year budget adjustment. He agrees the Board should allocate more funds, but doing that within 30 days of the budget approval is difficult; and he thinks it would be more prudent to amend the budget at the mid-year budget process. He thinks Commissioner Morris made a good point of having a smaller grant.

Chairman Henley reviewed that the Board has talked about phasing out or at least reducing some of the agencies; others could possibly be increased or added. Part of the information he would like to see spelled out has to do with how much is going into personnel cost and what percentage of the budget is provided by governmental agencies. Later, the Board will look at whether they will increase the allocation or not to the pot of funds and then decide to what distribution.

Commissioner Morris said there are different ways to look at personnel costs. Whereupon, Chairman Henley said they recognize that, but he thinks the Boards needs that type information to make a judgment.

Commissioner Carey said her only reluctance for approving this today is the fact that there are a couple of glaring examples in the information provided; and for the Board to do that for another year without supporting some of the agencies that, in her opinion, should be supported, is an error. She recommended pulling out the Seminole Volunteer agency and go back and review that for distributing some of those funds to some of the other agencies that are start-ups, and the Board could approve the remaining agencies.

Chairman Henley requested Mr. Medley to pull this agency and provide all information he has about the organization to the Board. Mr. Medley explained his office had a major malfunction with their data base this year and information was lost and corrupted and staff was not able to provide all the detailed budget information. He said they will reenter all that, reassess it and provide it to the Board for all the agencies.

Whereupon Commissioner Morris accepted, as a friendly amendment to his motion, to pull the Seminole Volunteer agency and staff will provide detailed budget information on the agencies to the Board.

Commissioner Morris further suggested the Board may set a target increase in funding for staff.

Chairman Henley said they need to be conscious of the fact that these are reoccurring every year, so they want to make sure that what they do is sustainable.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE to the motion, as amended.

The Board gave consensus to bring this back at mid-year.

-------

Chairman Henley announced that Item #29, Adopt recommendations as presented by Evergreen Solutions, LLC, in the Comprehensive Performance Management System Evaluation, has been pulled from the agenda, and rescheduled to November 7, 2006.

Community Services/Community Assistance, Continued

Ms. Coto said she believes Mr. Medley can bring back at the November 7 meeting the information for the Seminole Volunteer agency, but she would like more time to talk about dividing the monies up differently for first-time applicants versus those supported over a period of time, and for establishing some budgetary guidelines for increases in the future.

Commissioner Dallari also asked to see which organizations are having more national funding than local funding.

Chairman Henley advised one agency, Safe Harbor, is not on the list and he is sure that agency will come back to the Board to help continue the funding for a position.

Discussion continued on some other agencies.

County Manager’s Briefing

Ms. Coto updated the Board on Jetta Point and the Winter Springs Commission meeting held last evening. She advised a revision to the City’s code was being considered to support development of public parks in C-1 and PUD zoning districts. Unfortunately, there was a public notification error and this was not heard. The City has indicated they will schedule a special meeting for November 1 to consider this item and the second public hearing will be held on November 13.

-------

Ms. Coto further advised that staff was informed a couple months ago that the Volusia County Medical Examiner had resigned and there was a temporary replacement in that position. She has received correspondence from State Attorney Norm Wolfinger indicating that Volusia County has selected Dr. Marie Herman as the new Medical Examiner with a start date of December 1, 2006. She assumes the Governor will ratify this selection.

------

Chairman Henley recessed the meeting at 10:53 a.m., reconvening at 1:30 p.m., this same date with all Commissioners (with Commissioner Morris entering late) and all other Officials, with the exception of Deputy Clerk, Carylon Cohen, who was replaced by Deputy Clerk, Sandy McCann, who were present at the Opening Session.

Senior Planner, Michael Rumer, addressed the Board to present the request, advising the parcel was previously located within Tract 5 of the Stockbridge PUD, which permitted 280 townhomes and single-family dwellings on 33.3 acres with a density of 8.4 units per acre. Tract 5’s final approved development pattern is a total of 250 townhomes and single-family dwellings, leaving the .62 acres vacant. He further advised the applicant intends to create a new PUD consisting of seven townhomes at a density of 11.2 dwelling units per net buildable acre. Staff recommends approval and the P&Z Commission also recommended approval.

Jack Reynolds of American Civil Engineering, representing the applicant, addressed the Board to advise they are in agreement with all of staff’s comments and recommendations.

REQUEST TO REZONE FROM A-1

TO R-1A, ANDREW STANLEY

Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider a request to rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to R-1A (Single-Family Dwelling) for property consisting of 10 acres located southeast of Ronald Reagan Boulevard on the south side of Frances Avenue, Andrew Stanley, received and filed.

Principal Coordinator, Tina Williamson, presented the request, advising the application of the Weighted Method for Determining Single-Family Residential Compatibility test was done and it was determined that the analysis does not support the requested rezoning to R-1A. The adjacent properties to the east, west, northwest and south of the site are zoned A-1. To the north and northeast is a subdivision with the R-1 zoning district. Further south, there are properties that have A-1 zoning and the Suburban Estates Future Land Use designation. These properties represent those located within the 660-foot boundary around the subject property per the LDC. Additionally, there are subdivisions further to the northwest and northeast which are not adjacent to the site, but are within close proximity, that consist of the R-1AA zoning district. She further advised that staff recommends denial of the request and the P&Z Commission unanimously voted to recommend denial also.

Andrew Stanley, applicant representing the property owner, addressed the Board to display a drawing of the area (copy received & filed), advising the Seventh Day Adventist Church, which owns the adjacent property, has no objection to the rezoning. He pointed out on the map the property numbered 2 and advised it is zoned R-1 and the only access to this property is through that property. Because of the economics, he said they need to get 25 homes out of the project. He indicated on the map property #3 that is zoned A-1 which he believes will be developed in a similar fashion as to what he is proposing. He stated that with R-1AA zoning, they can only get 14 homes and the project would not be economically feasible.

Don Sipley, 4500 Frances Ave., addressed the Board to express his concern with flooding and drainage problems for the entire area. He questioned if this development makes the drainage problems worse, who is going to have the burden to fix it.

Norma Martin, 3682 Laurel Ave., addressed the Board to speak in opposition, also expressing concern with the drainage and flood problems in the area.

Kerry Scott, 1217 Wynn St., addressed the Board to advise she owns the five acres next to the property and has lived there for 14 years. She said her five acres were the best of the total parcel which is the property in question. She further said that she has brought in a tremendous amount of dirt on her property and is concerned with flooding. She stated that she has horses and does not believe residential houses next to her pasture is appropriate. She added that she is totally opposed to the request.

Earl Lord, 4835 Hester Ave., addressed the Board to speak in opposition, stating the zoning should be at least R-1AA. He also expressed concern about the drainage problems.

No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Speaker Request Forms were received and filed.

District Commissioner Carey stated she believes this property would be a good transitional piece.

Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Dallari to deny request to rezone 10 acres, located southeast of Ronald Reagan Blvd., on the south side of Frances Avenue, as described in the proof of publication, Andrew Stanley, from A-1 (Agriculture) to R-1A (Single-Family Dwelling), based on staff findings; and authorize the Chairman to execute the Denial Development Order, as shown on page _______.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Planning Manager, April Boswell, addressed the Board to present the request, advising a portion of the site currently has the PUD zoning district; however, no entitlements are associated with this zoning. She stated the applicant is also seeking Preliminary Master Plan approval for a mixed use project incorporating target industries (hotel with conference space or Class A office), supporting office/retail/restaurant, residential condo units, and live/work condos. Density in the proposed PUD district will not exceed 29.61 dwelling units per net buildable acre. She said the applicant is proposing a maximum of 17 work/life units. She reviewed the compatibility issue with the Board, advising staff recommends approval of the request to rezone and approval of the Preliminary Master Plan.

Jonathan Martin, applicant, addressed the Board to thank staff for working with them over the past year; and stated that he will answer any questions.

A brief discussion ensued between the Board and Mr. Martin with regard to the work/life spaces and the square footage of them.

Brook Weise, applicant’s architect, addressed the Board to advise the square footage of the work/life spaces will be flexible.

Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley with regard to school capacity, Mr. Martin stated that are still in conversations with the School Board. He said the School Board is working on a new impact fee ordinance should be adopted early next year. He further said the School Board has indicated to them that they would have to follow that new ordinance.

A copy of the revised School Capacity Report was received and filed.

Mr. Martin advised Commissioner Dallari that they will have their final square footages when the site plan comes back for approval.

Mike Rigby, Planner for the School Board, addressed the Board to advise Seminole High School remains overcrowded.

Kathy Moore, Fiscal Services, addressed the Board to present the ordinance, advising the petition for the MSBU demonstrated an 82.1% support rate.

Jean Mueller, 7338 Overlook Dr., addressed the Board to advise she has lived on the lake for 46 years and has seen a dramatic change since SR 436 was widened by the State. She said the homeowners have spent over $26,000 in the past and the lake doesn’t look any better.

Ms. Moore clarified for Ms. Mueller that the annual assessments would be a maximum of $250.

Upon inquiry by Ms. Mueller, County Manager, Cindy Coto, advised there have been some delays in the fire station the County is building adjacent to the lake.
