REGULAR AGENDA
Lee Ricci, Human Resources Director,
addressed the Board to present request for approval for the renewal of the
following employee benefit plans: Cancer and Dread Disease-Allstate,
Dental-Solstice, Flexible Spending Accounts-Chard Snyder, and Life Insurance
and Short-Term Disability-The Standard. She
reviewed the changes to the health insurance plan which will become effective
January, 2014, and stated that for the Board’s information only, their
third-party administrator rates will remain the same as they are in the final
year of a rate guarantee. Staff will
come back before the Board with renewal rates for stop-loss coverage provided
by Symetra as soon as those rates become available.
Commissioner Carey clarified regarding the
retirees on Medicare B that they are going to pay a $104 premium for those.
Vice Chairman Horan commented that there
are 147 employees presently taking advantage of the Flexible Spending Account
(FSA) and the deductibles will increase next year. Upon inquiry, Ms. Ricci advised they will be
having four information sessions starting October 23 for employees to
attend. Because this is a passive
enrollment, the meetings are not mandatory.
They will, however, record one of the sessions and put that on
SharePoint as well as sending information out to all employees. The remainder of the open enrollment is
passive and employees are mapped into the plans they currently have unless they
are making changes.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve and
authorize the County Manager to execute the required documents, as shown on
page _______, for the renewal of employee benefit plans including Cancer and
Dread Disease-Allstate, Dental-Solstice, Flexible Spending Accounts-Chard
Snyder, and Life Insurance and Short-Term Disability-The Standard.
Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
--------
Joe Pennisi, Resource Management Director,
addressed the Board to present the Five-Year Capital Improvement Program for FY
2013/14 through and including FY 2017/18, as outlined in the Agenda Memorandum. He stated it is consistent with the capital
improvement elements of the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan, approving said
Capital Improvement Budget. The Board
was provided copies and it is posted to the county’s website as well. He reviewed the changes made to the document
since presented to the Board on September 1 including the replacement of the
911 System included in the FY 2013/14 budget at $4 million, and there are no
future costs anticipated for that project completion.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve and
authorize the Chairman to execute appropriate Seminole County Capital
Improvement Project Budget Proposal Resolution #2013-R-238, as shown on page
_______, of 2013-2014.
Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
COUNTY
MANAGER AND STAFF BRIEFINGS
Joe
Abel, Leisure Services Director, addressed the Board to present a quarterly
update on the remains of “The Senator.”
He advised that Big Tree Park has been re-opened and they have had a lot
of visitors and positive feedback from the renovations of the park. He stated they have contracts with four
artisans and today he will report on their progress. He displayed some items that have been
produced explaining the artisans have used ashes, sawdust and the wood itself
and then presented a slideshow of other artifacts.
Mr.
Abel advised they are looking at public spaces throughout the county and the
cities, and they will be reaching out to the School Board to place these
artifacts. They will bring forward a
recommendation for final approval once the pieces are received.
Commissioner
Carey stated they will hopefully find a prominent place in their museum for
permanent display of examples of artifacts that have been produced. She stated a considerable amount of money has
been spent to have the clone of The Senator planted at the park and it may be
an opportunity for them to take some of the excess pieces and have an auction
so the public could acquire some of these, and to replace some of the funds
that were spent to get the clone planted in the park.
Upon
inquiry by Vice Chairman Horan, Mr. Abel stated they will be receiving over 100
items from the artisans under the exchange program. Vice Chairman Horan also questioned whether
the artisans’ inquiries have been satisfied with regard to where their items will
be displayed. Mr. Abel reiterated that
they are identifying public spaces and at the same time looking at the pieces
and working with the artisans to try to discern where those pieces will be
displayed.
Commissioner
Carey stated that traffic to the museum should increase by prominently
displaying this exhibit, and the tragedy brought this particular park and tree,
the world’s oldest cypress tree, to the forefront. She said they should get something done
before people forget about it and she doesn’t want to wait until the end of
another year, so as items are received, she said she believes they should start
preparing the display. She also
suggested that once they gather unique and prominent pieces, it might be an
opportunity to let this travel around the country to let others enjoy what is
here in Seminole County.
Upon
inquiry by Vice Chairman Horan, Mr. Abel said they are hoping to do this
in-house without any addition to the budget.
Vice Chairman Horan stated they should have items available and of
interest for exchange with other museums.
COUNTY
ATTORNEY’S REPORT

Session.

PUBLIC
HEARINGS
LAKE MARY
CENTER/ROSS SIGN VARIANCE
Continuation
of a public hearing to consider a wall sign area variance from 100 square feet
to 330.70 square feet; and a maximum total sign area variance from 258 square
feet to 490.75 square feet, for Ross Dress For Less, located on property at the
southeast corner of Lake Mary Blvd. and Lake Emma Road, more particularly known
as 3765 Lake Emma Road, as described in the proof of publication, Tom Bradford.
Denny
Gibbs, Development Services, addressed the Board to state staff met with the representatives
of the applicant and discussed the revisions to the original Ross sign variance
request as well as the Master Signage Plan guidelines for the entire Lake Mary
Center. The guidelines will be presented
to the Board for consideration on November 19, 2013. She stated staff submitted a packet (received
and filed) that outlines the basics of the Master Signage Plan. The revised Ross variance being considered
today will fall within what is proposed for the Master Signage Plan guidelines,
if approved by the Board. The applicant
is now proposing a wall sign variance from 100 square feet to 184 square feet
and a maximum total sign-area variance from 258 square feet to 344 square feet. This request will allow Ross to exceed the
100-square-foot limitation for a wall sign by 84 square feet and to allow the
total allowable sign area to exceed 86 square feet. Based on the findings enumerated at the
September 24 meeting, staff recommends approval of the proposed request as
outlined, with a condition that no sign permits requiring a variance should be
issued in the Lake Mary Center prior to approval of the Master Signage
Plan.
Tom
Bradford, representing Kendal Signs, addressed the Board to state staff has
been outstanding to work with. He stated
the way that this is set up now is that a building that had roughly 65 feet of
frontage would be entitled to the same size sign as any building with over 100
feet of frontage. He said they are
working on a Master Signage Plan that will stay with the original intent and
only sways from that 100-square-foot limit.
The trees and canopies that hide the signs will stay the same as
well.
Kevin
Sobel, 3577 Lake Emma Road, addressed the Board to state he has no additional
comments.
No
one else spoke in support or in opposition.
Commissioner
Carey stated she would like to give staff kudos on this as she feels they did
an outstanding job in turning this around quickly so that Ross could get this
approved before they open for business.
She said she feels that staff and the representatives have done a really
good job coming up with a Master Signage Plan and she feels it will work out
extremely well.
Commissioner
Henley stated he personally doesn’t feel they should change the agreement that
they had, but considering the discussions at the last Board meeting and that
there are only four Board members in attendance, this item may end up with a
two to two vote. He said he doesn’t want
staff to spend any more time on it; therefore, he is going against what he
thinks they should do.
Motion by Commissioner
Henley, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve a wall sign
area variance from 100 square feet to 184 square feet; and a maximum total
sign-area variance from 258 square feet to 344 square feet, for Ross Dress For
Less, located on property at the southeast corner of Lake Mary Blvd. and Lake
Emma Road, more particularly known as 3765 Lake Emma Road, as described in the
proof of publication, Tom Bradford, based upon
findings contained in staff’s report.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Constantine stated he will be supporting the
motion. He said he appreciates staff
going back to look at this in a holistic view, but he doesn’t want to be using
this as a precedent; therefore, other businesses coming in will be able to get
what they need in that area.
Commissioner
Carey stated she believes that by having a Master Signage Plan that spells out
what the maximum square footage will be, the land owner can use that tool to
negotiate with his prospects as to who is going to get the signage based on the
amount of square footage.
Districts
2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Ex
Parte Communications from Commissioner Carey for the Lake Mary Center/Ross Sign
Variance were received and filed.
ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTER 72
Proof of
publication, as shown on page ________, calling for a public hearing to
consider an Ordinance amending Chapter 72, “Emergency Management” of the
Seminole County Code adding the power and authority to impose restrictions by
executive order on outdoor burning and to impose other restrictions as
reasonably necessary to protect public health, safety and welfare, received and
filed.
Tad Stone,
Public Safety Director, addressed the Board to present the request stating the
proposed ordinance would add the power and authority to impose executive orders
for outdoor burning and provides for a lot of cleanup language that would bring
the document up to date.
Commissioner
Carey stated when this ordinance was originally written, they didn’t have the
firearms law in place that is at the State level now. She stated the County Attorney’s Office has
ensured her that this ordinance doesn’t conflict with that law and the
price-gouging rules.
No one
spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner Carey,
seconded by Commissioner Constantine to adopt Ordinance #2013-26, as shown on
page _________, amending Chapter 72, “Emergency Management,” of the Seminole
County Code adding the power and authority to impose restrictions by executive
order on outdoor burning and to impose other restrictions as reasonably
necessary to protect public health, safety and welfare, as described in the
proof of publication.

ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTER 85
Proof of
publication, as shown on page ________, calling for a public hearing to
consider an Ordinance amending Chapter 85, “Fire Safety Code” of the Seminole
County Code, creating Part 3 “Burn Ban Implementation Procedures” received and
filed.
Tad Stone,
Public Safety Director, stated this amendment creates Part B, Burn Ban
Implementation and Procedures allowing for automatic burn bans under certain
dry weather conditions. The amendment
would also provide rules on how the County will implement the burn ban. He stated this amendment would eliminate
staff having to go through a lengthy process of getting an emergency ordinance
enacted. Staff recommends approval of
the request.
No one
spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner
Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Henley to adopt Ordinance #2013-27, as
shown on page ________, amending Chapter 85, “Fire Safety Code” of the Seminole
County Code, creating Part 3 “Burn Ban Implementation Procedures,” as described
in the proof of publication.

CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
Vice
Chairman Horan stated it is time to form the Election Canvassing Board for
2013/2014 elections. He added the
Election Canvassing Board is composed of the Supervisor of Elections, a County
Court Judge (who acts as the chair of the canvassing board) and the Chairman of
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC).
He explained what the requirements are, per the Statutes, if a member of
the canvassing board is unable to serve or is disqualified. He stated he is up for re-election as well as
Commissioner Henley, and Commissioner Dallari has indicated that he cannot
serve on that board. He added the reason
he is bringing this up now is to see if any one of the BCC members are
interested in serving on the Canvassing Board for 2013 and 2014, or whether
they should ask the Circuit Court Judge to appoint someone to serve on that
board.
Commissioner
Carey stated since the Board members are politically active at this time and
two commissioners are up for re-election, she believes the practice in the past
is to ask the Chief Judge to appoint a member.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Constantine, Vice Chairman Horan advised the Statute
indicates that if the Chairman cannot serve, then they would have to appoint
one of the other commissioners. If a
commissioner does not meet the qualifications because they are running for
office or because of their political activity, then it goes to the Circuit
Court Judge.
No one
spoke in support or in opposition to this issue.
Motion by Commissioner Horan,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to authorize execution of a Letter to the
Circuit Court Judge appointing a substitute member to serve on the Election
Canvassing Board.
Districts
2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Vice
Chairman Horan stated there is a vacancy on the Fred R. Wilson Memorial Law
Library Advisory Board and he recommended appointing Mark A. Reyes to serve on
that board to fill the unexpired term ending January 1, 2015.
No one
spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner Constantine,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to appoint Mark A. Reyes, by Resolution
#2013-R-241, as shown on page ________, to serve on the Fred R. Wilson Memorial
Law Library Advisory Board to fill the unexpired term ending January 1, 2015.
Districts
2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Bryant Applegate, County Attorney, explained why
the Board needs to ask for public comments on every item that is voted on.
-------
Vice
Chairman Horan stated the Board has received an award (plaque) from the Church
on the Living Edge in Seminole County honoring public servants. He stated the church held a dinner last week
and gave awards to school teachers, firemen, other public servants, as well as
the BCC. He read the wording engraved on
the plaque.
