     Chairman Dallari stated on behalf of the Board, he would like to thank staff and all those involved in putting the Centennial together.

-------

     Lee Ricci, Human Resources Manager, addressed the Board to announce the 2013 graduates of the Seminole County Employee Academy.  She displayed a PowerPoint Presentation (received and filed) and stated all the class members had a mentor who helped them learn and be guided.  She shared a few reminders regarding the valuable program.  She introduced the following graduates:  Alauddin Ali; Annya Baerga; Sharon Barnert; Russell Carpenter; Taris Claitt; Jimette Cook; Matthew Davidson; Bob Hunter; Eric Klotz; Marie Lackey; Heidi Miller; Stephanie Perez; Lisa Snead; David Stough; and Joseph Tilton.

-------

     Chief Leeanna Mims, Public Safety, addressed the Board to present the Life Saving Award to Stephanie Kunz, Recreation Specialist, and Jason Cordova, Tennis Professional.  She stated the Public Safety Department and EMS Fire Rescue Division present Life Saving Awards to members of Seminole County who have gone above and beyond and made a difference with the outcome of a patient.  She stated with Ms. Kunz’s quick thinking with the AED and Mr. Cordova’s CPR skills, they saved a gentleman’s life (Raymond Cody) on November 13, 2013 while he was suffering cardiac arrest. 

-------

     Randy Hunt, Committee on Aging (COA) member, addressed the Board to present the Committee on Aging Annual Update.  He displayed a PowerPoint Presentation (received and filed) and reviewed the COA Objectives; Mission; the Committee for a Lifetime (CFAL) Initiatives; and the COA membership.  He reviewed the statistics of the senior population and what the committee has been focusing on.  He discussed the results of surveys that have been done regarding senior transportation issues and meetings held with over 25 County leaders.  They have identified potential solutions and recommend Senior Intervention Group (SIG) as the best resource to support the triage approach.  In regard to health, wellness and injury protection, he advised that help videos have been posted to the County website.  He added the COA has developed a Speakers Bureau for senior communities and senior centers relating to subjects such as Fraud, Abuse and Neglect, Exploitation, Alzheimer’s Basics and other subjects.  He reviewed a number of the excellent initiatives that the County is providing.  The COA is recommending that the County support the new Speakers Bureau, endorse continued authorization of the COA, and schedule a work session following the January 28, 2014 BCC meeting to discuss the senior transportation issues more in depth. 

     Commissioner Carey stated when she served on the Lynx Board in early 2000, it came to light that senior transportation was an issue and not everyone understood the Lynx routes.  Lynx undertook a training program for seniors at that time.  If Lynx is no longer providing the program, she believes they should reach out to the seniors with what is available to them.  She added that Meals on Wheels also provides transportation for seniors.  She stated she believes that education is a big component as many of the seniors are not computer savvy.  She said she feels the Board needs to focus on how they can better educate them as to what is available.

     Chairman Dallari stated when he attended the meeting with the COA at Palm Valley, Lynx was in attendance and they found out that communication is the issue.  Lynx and other agencies will be scheduling a full day in January or February in Palm Valley to educate everyone on everything that the County does for seniors.

     Mr. Hunt stated education has to be a dynamic process because the people they educate today are not the people that they need to educate tomorrow.  It has to be repeated with some regularity.

     Commissioner Henley stated Lynx is available any time for presentation as they are concerned about the education.  SunRail also has a program to attempt to educate the citizens as to how they can use SunRail and Lynx for connectivity to get around the community. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Horan, Mr. Hunt advised Lynx brought the COA up to date on the things they are doing.  Lynx has acknowledged that a good partnership of communication where the COA can help identify areas is important and Lynx is more than willing to try to provide those services.

     Commissioner Horan stated it is a difficult situation to try to continually get the education out there; but if that information is out there, they would have to perform and it is expensive and problems exist.  He offered his assistance in reaching out to any people or groups. 

     Commissioner Henley stated many people don’t know that Lynx services a 2,500-mile area, so education will never be done in order to reach everyone in such a large area.  SunRail will be providing 61 miles of service when it comes on board.  There will be some concerns with regard to the wait time for bus service.  How they can solve that problem is something that the counties will need to address.

     Commissioner Horan stated he believes each of the Board members have served on a transportation board and it is probably pretty obvious that they have to disaggregate and shrink in some form to be more effective with the regional transportation agencies they do have.  That is going to be a process that will probably be the primary focus of the region for the next 10 to 15 years as SunRail comes on line.  The biggest beneficiaries of that will be seniors if they perform correctly.

     Commissioner Carey stated she thinks as SunRail comes on line, staff needs to coordinate some type of an educational process so that when the trains are running, the citizens will be ready.

     Valmarie Turner, Community Services Director, addressed the Board to state the community has been diligent over the last year dealing with senior transportation issues along with some other concerns.  She pointed out that Community Services is working with Lynx and they have talked to the Committee on Aging.  Lynx has also informed them of a program called “Train the Trainer” in terms of getting the information out.  In March, Community Services will be partnering with Lynx and Palm Valley as well as other surrounding areas to discuss educating the seniors on Lynx.

     Chairman Dallari informed the Board that Planning & Development employee, Helen Endicott, retired last week and he would like to wish her well with her new endeavors.

Chairman Dallari recessed the BCC meeting at 10:05 a.m. and convened the U.S. Highway 17-92 Community Redevelopment Agency.

U.S. HWY 17-92 CRA

     Tom Tomerlin, Economic Development Director, addressed the Board to present request to approve the U.S. 17-92 CRA Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2013/2014.  He stated the total budget for 2013/2014 is $6,583,798.  He commented on the revenue and expenditure sections of the budget.  He advised that the fourth “whereas” of the resolution is technically not a reference to carryforward but are budgeted projects that have existed within the budget as well as capital improvement funds.  He added the carryforwards depicted on Exhibit A are not actually explicitly covered within this year’s budget.  He also mentioned that the grant program highlighted in blue on Exhibit A is a Business Development Assistance Grant and provides some rental assistance to properties up and down Hwy 17-92.  Staff has been working to incorporate the Board’s comments, specifically on two proposed major revisions, and they will be obtaining the Board’s feedback on the program.  The one major revision is they are requiring any kind of assistance be tied to real property improvements on the property, and the other is a list of prohibited uses that will not be eligible for these funds. 

     No one spoke in support or in opposition.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Tomerlin advised that exterior improvements are covered under the redevelopment grant program as well as the mini-grant program. 

     Commissioner Carey stated the whole idea is to turn this blighted area into something that looks nice.  Building facades are going to be an important part of that and staff may need to tweak that as they go forward.  She added she has asked Mr. Tomerlin to prepare a budget estimate through 2017 of what they historically know for the income to the CRA and what the salary potential may be, so they will know where they will be in the event that this sunsets.  Mr. Tomerlin stated that will take some time to do.  He stated he would like to have a time series over the next several years the CRA exists to see what they would have at the end of 2017 in terms of extending this throughout the years. 

     Mr. Tomerlin clarified for Commissioner Henley that they have not changed the first-come, first-served practice in policy. 

     Commissioner Carey stated she feels that when areas start to make that turn to redevelop, they will see a lot of projects.  The timing is going to be an issue and they may see some come in the same budget year where the money is exhausted and they can take it out of reserves.  The idea is if they want to make sure that 17-92 does make a turn, they have to be flexible of how they are going to move the projects forward.  There are a number of large shopping centers on 17-92 that have large boxes vacant and the small shops will come in when those big boxes fill up. 

     Commissioner Constantine stated he feels it is important that they do public projects as opposed to private projects.  He stated he feels that CRAs are best when they emphasize on public projects as private businesses will come when they recognize that improvements have been done in that area.  Discussion ensued.

     Chairman Dallari clarified that the State has been delaying the 17-92 project from Shepherd Road to Lake Mary Boulevard, not the CRA. 

     Commissioner Carey opined that the delay from the Department of Transportation (DOT) only made it a better project because their first proposal would not have been very beneficial for the redevelopment along that particular stretch of 17-92.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan to adopt appropriate Resolution #2013-R-267, as shown on page ________, establishing the annual U.S. 17-92 CRA Budget for Fiscal Year 2013/2014.

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

-------

     Mr. Tomerlin presented request to approve a U.S. 17-92 CRA Redevelopment and Construction Grant to Dick Baird, Inc., d/b/a/ Bill Ray Nissan, to redevelop the property located at 2724 U.S. Hwy 17-92 in the total grant amount request of $988,750 or $476,607 for the amount required under the guidelines of the Grant Program; and a Resolution implementing Budget Amendment Request (BAR) #14-021, providing CRA funding from Capital Improvement Reserves in the amount selected by the BCC.  The capital investment to the project site is $1.75 million and $207,000 for the installation of underground utilities.  The Technical Advisory Committee is recommending approval of $988,750; the Redevelopment Planning Agency (RPA) is recommending approval of $476,607, and staff is recommending approval of the Grant Agreement in the amount of $476,607.  He stated that Bill Ray Nissan has been a long-standing 17-92 business since 1976 and the CRA is about trying to make property improvements that will enhance TIF along that corridor.  

     David Ray, Bill Ray Nissan owner, addressed the Board to state that the underground utilities are not included in the amount of $1.75 million and he is planning to add another building that does not qualify for CRA Funds.  The total investment will be around $2.3 to $2.5 million.  He displayed a PowerPoint Presentation and stated this presentation will help explain why receiving this grant is a key component for Bill Ray Nissan to stay on Hwy 17-92.  He displayed pictures (included in the agenda packet) of what he is proposing to build, what his current building looks like and what the new construction will look like.  Nissan notified him when they were doing a market study in the Greater Orlando area.  Nissan made a determination to strategically place his facility where they believe it could best serve the customers in their primary market area.  That study came back and Nissan indicated that they do not want his dealership to stay on Hwy 17-92.  Mr. Ray said that is not his position as his family has had a long history of being on Hwy 17-92 and he feels it is in his best interest to stay at his present location.  He added he feels it is a better investment for him to stay on Hwy 17-92 than going to the I-4 area and he needs a strong grant in order to go to his manufacturer to explain why he feels that staying in that location is the best business decision for Bill Ray Nissan.  If he doesn’t receive the grant, Nissan will probably ask him to sell his property or abandon it, and they will offer to match the $2.5 million that he was going to spend on Hwy 17-92 so he can move to the I-4 area. 

     Mr. Ray stated he feels that he will make less money in the I-4 area than on Hwy 17-92.  David Maus informed him that he made more money on Hwy 17-92 than he does selling cars on Rinehart Road.  Mr. Ray said he believes that will be the same case for him.  He read a note that he’d written with regard to why Nissan needs to tell him this is not a good business decision for the Ray family to remain on Hwy 17-92.  He addressed some of the questions that came up during the RPA meeting.  He reviewed what he will be doing in Phase I and Phase II of the expansion construction.  He displayed a Market Study Map (not received and filed) and explained what has been going on in the Greater Orlando market over the last 12 to 18 months and the location of the different Nissan dealerships in the surrounding area.  He also displayed Nissan reports relating to sales efficiencies, sales objectives, shopper capture rates, visitor capture rates, overall buyer satisfaction, overall delivery process, condition of the vehicle at the time of delivery, and timeliness of delivering the vehicle. 

     Commissioner Carey stated she feels that Bill Ray Nissan has done a wonderful job in supporting the community for many years.  She stated from her perspective they do not need another large vacant property on Hwy 17-92.  There is property down the street that has been sitting vacant for 9 or 10 years and is an eyesore.  The automobile industry is one of the largest generators of sales tax in which the County benefits.  She stated she feels that Mr. Ray is doing a great job on Hwy 17-92.

     Mr. Ray pointed out that if he relocates to I-4, he will have to increase his labor rate. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Ray advised he is planning to have two Nissan facilities within the next 5 to 10 years.  He stated if Nissan puts pressure on him to make him move, he will tell them that he will move but he is going to have two facilities.  He added he will keep the current facility open as a certified service and warranty repair area along with certified used cars, rental car operation, a body shop, and a service and parts areas. 

     Mr. Ray reiterated that he needs the grant to make a strong case with Nissan.  He said he believes the County would be making a good investment in keeping Bill Ray Nissan on Hwy 17-92.

     No one spoke in support or in opposition.

     Commissioner Henley stated he would like to echo Commissioner Carey’s remarks as he feels it is important that Mr. Ray be allowed to remain there.  He said he does not want to see another vacant business along that corridor. 

     Motion by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Horan to approve the U.S. 17-92 CRA Redevelopment Grant Agreement, as shown on page _________, between the U.S. 17-92 CRA and Dick Baird, Inc., d/b/a Bill Ray Nissan; and adopt appropriate Resolution #2013-R-268, as shown on page ________, implementing BAR #14-021 in the amount of $988,750 providing CRA Funding from Capital Improvement Reserves. 

     Under discussion, Commissioner Horan explained what occurred during the RPA meeting and how the recommendation came about.  The one thing that the RPA came up with is a five-year provision clause.  Mr. Ray stated he would rather not be locked into that.  He added he is not going to invest $2.5 million into the facility and then walk away from it.

     Commissioner Carey stated she feels that most car dealers do not have an ironclad agreement like Mr. Ray has and that will make a difference in his ability to force the issue.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Ray advised that internet sales are 30% and he is trying to expand that to 50%.  Those sales would be subject to sales tax. 

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

     Chairman Dallari thanked Commissioner Henley for his efforts in working with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on the road elevation of widening Hwy 17-92.

     Request to approve a Resolution adding a proposed Section 24.20 of the Seminole County Administrative Code establishing an investment policy, product selection and retention, and general plan governance policy for the County's 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan, was presented.

     Commissioner Carey stated in her discussions with staff she suggested adding to the policy that performance reports be sent quarterly to the Deferred Compensation Plan Review Committee members for their review.  If the committee feels they need to meet to discuss any issues, then they can do that. 

     Commissioner Constantine stated he has also asked staff to look into removing terrorist states from being able to invest in the general investment policy.  He stated he was surprised that there were a number of different investments with countries that were listed as terrorist states.  He stated Mr. Pennisi indicated he wants to make sure that that is workable and staff will come back when they are able to put that into the agreement. 

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Henley to adopt appropriate Resolution #2013-R-270, as shown on page ________, adding a proposed Section 24.20 of the Seminole County Administrative Code establishing an investment policy, product selection and retention, and general plan governance policy for the County's 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan, with quarterly reports to be sent to the Deferred Compensation Plan Review Committee for review.

     Under discussion and upon inquiry by Commissioner Constantine, Joe Pennisi, Resource Management Director, addressed the Board to state, per Commissioner Dallari’s suggestion, staff has included a requirement that a Plan Service Provider will attend the Committee’s Annual Report Summary presentation to the Board.  He stated staff has drafted language that addresses Commissioner Carey’s request pertaining to quarterly reports and Commissioner Constantine’s suggestion that relates to prohibitions on investment options in companies that are operating in or invested in nations that support terrorism.  However, staff would like to take additional time to review Commissioner Constantine’s suggestion with the service provider to make sure that they are drafting language that does not unnecessarily impact the investment options that are available to the participants in the plan. 

     Commissioner Constantine stated he would have no problem with staff doing that as long as it comes back to the Board. 

     Chairman Dallari stated the issue he has is how they police it and how do they report it.  Mr. Pennisi stated that is one of the issues that staff needs to look at especially when they are looking at mutual funds that are invested on a fairly regular short-term basis.  The one question staff would like to flush out is how quickly that information would be provided to the service provider, then to the company, and ultimately to the Board.  Chairman Dallari stated he would like to know which countries they are talking about.  Discussion ensued. 

     Arnold Schneider, Assistant County Attorney, addressed the Board to state staff needs to contact Nationwide to find out what their reaction is.  Memoranda from Mr. Schneider relating to the proposed Administrative Code policy change were received and filed.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Pennisi advised staff can bring this back hopefully at the next meeting.

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

REGULAR AGENDA

     Joy Giles, Planning & Development, addressed the Board to present request to reduce the Code Enforcement Board lien from $14,750 to $0.00, for Case #12-87-CEB on the property located at 2520 Narcissus Avenue, Sanford, Tax Parcel #22-19-30-5AD-0000-0130, previously owned by Cheryl L. Balmas, and currently owned by Federal National Mortgage Association, Dave Kellam.  She reviewed the timeline of the case as outlined in the agenda memorandum.  Staff recommends denial of the reduction, and therefore, requests that the Chairman execute the Release of Lien upon payment in full.

     Michael Fouts, 298 Lake Markham Road, addressed the Board to state he is the owner of the real estate company.  He reviewed the sequence of events that occurred after the Certificate of Title (CT) was filed.  He stated he would like a reduction in the lien as he feels they acted slowly due to having to go through a national vendor to maintain the property. 

     Speaker Request Form was received and filed.

     District Commissioner Carey stated she understands that banks have a lot of properties to deal with; however, they are going to need to find a more timely way to do it or this is just going to be the price of doing business.  The community put up with this for over a year to the point where the property had to be bush hogged and that is not acceptable.  The banks need a process to move quicker.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Henley to deny the reduction to the Code Enforcement Board lien from $14,750 to $0.00, for Case #12-87-CEB on the property located at 2520 Narcissus Avenue, Sanford, Tax Parcel #22-19-30-5AD-0000-0130, previously owned by Cheryl L. Balmas, and currently owned by Federal National Mortgage Association, Dave Kellam; and to require the amount to be paid within 60 days. 

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

-------

     Ms. Giles presented request to reduce the Code Enforcement Lien from $134,100 to $0.00 for Case #10-03-CEB on property located at 1250 Sunset Road, Casselberry, Tax Parcel #10-21-30-5BQ-0000-030B, Robert C. Malcomb (current owner), Luis Cruz.  She reviewed the timeline of the case as outlined in the agenda memorandum.  The owner’s representative indicated that the owner has a medical condition and was unable to act upon the violations as well as a financial hardship due to loss of employment and income.  The owner’s family corrected the violation once the lien was discovered through a title search.  Staff recommends that the amount be reduced to the estimated administrative cost of $1,190.80, and if the payment is not made within 60 days that the lien revert back to the original amount.

     Robert Carson Malcolm, property owner, addressed the Board to state he never received any notices from the time the original complaint was issued.  He said he is having health issues and has had to hire someone to help maintain the property.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mary Cruz, sister, addressed the Board to state her family will help Mr. Malcolm maintain his property and it will not happen again. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Horan, Ms. Cruz advised she is prepared to pay for the lien at this moment.

     Motion by Commissioner Horan, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve a reduction to the Code Enforcement Lien from $134,100 to $1,190.80 for Case #10-03-CEB on property located at 1250 Sunset Road, Casselberry, Tax Parcel #10-21-30-5BQ-0000-030B, Robert C. Malcomb (current owner), Luis Cruz; require that the reduced amount be paid within 60 days or the lien will revert to its original amount; and authorize the Chairman to execute the Satisfaction of Lien upon payment in full.

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

-------

     Meloney Lung, Resource Management, addressed the Board to present request to approve the County’s Workers’ Compensation, Property, Casualty Package, Boiler and Machinery, Cyber and Internet Liability, and Storage Tank Pollution Liability Insurance Programs for calendar year 2014; and request authorization for staff to bind coverages effective January 1, 2014.  She stated the new program summary is included in the packet.  She added Michael Gillon from Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. continued to negotiate the property insurance and was able to get it reduced to $17,706.  The final premium is $952,294.  Staff was able to reduce the windstorm deductible to 3% as well.  She said Mr. Gillon has been informed that the County will be receiving $700,000 from their flood insurance and that will leave the 2013/2014 total premium flat with no increase. 

     No one spoke in support or in opposition.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan to approve the County’s Workers’ Compensation, Property, Casualty Package, Boiler and Machinery, Cyber and Internet Liability, and Storage Tank Pollution Liability Insurance Programs for calendar year 2014; and authorize staff to bind coverages effective January 1, 2014. 

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

     Commissioner Constantine stated the County is getting more bang for their buck and he would like to congratulate staff and the consultant on a job well done.

     Commissioner Carey stated staff will be trying to go back retroactively on the flood insurance issue and she would like an update as that moves along.

-------

     Ms. Giles presented request to reduce the Code Enforcement Board lien from $130,800 to $0.00 for Case #11-54-CEB on property located at 693 Barbuda Way, Altamonte Springs, Tax Parcel #21-21-29-501-0000-1480, previously owned by Betty Drury and currently owned by Federal National Mortgage Association, Dave Kellam.  She reviewed the timeline as outlined in the agenda memorandum.  A Certificate of Sale to the Federal National Mortgage Association was filed on August 27, 2013 and an Affidavit of Compliance was filed by the Code Enforcement Board on October 3, 2013.  Although the property was subject to foreclosure, Seminole County was not named as a defendant in the foreclosure suit.  Therefore, the Code Enforcement lien was not extinguished as a function of the foreclosure action.  Staff recommends that the Board deny the reduction of the lien from $130,800 to $0.00; and instead reduce the lien to $5,500 representing the 37 days of noncompliance from the date of the sale of the property to the Federal National Mortgage Association.  Staff recommends that the payment be made within 60 days or the lien will revert back to its original amount.

     Toyna Young, 5401 S. Kirkman Road, addressed the Board to state she represents Fannie Mae and she knows that Commissioner Carey has a strong opinion about banks leaving these cases for several months.  She stated in this particular case, they have a buyer.  A packet was sent to the Board with an outline of what occurred at the court hearing in terms of when they filed the petition and when they acquired the property.  The total amount of the lien did not accumulate during the time that Fannie Mae acquired the property.  Issues regarding the property were taken care of within two months of the Final Judgment being put into place.  Mr. Randall Mindrup has signed a contract to purchase the property for $66,000 and the sale date has been extended pending the outcome of this request.  Ms. Young stated Fannie Mae is concerned that Mr. Mindrup may not purchase this property if there is an additional $130,000 lien included in the price.  She added she believes that if the Board reduces the lien to $0.00 and the sale goes through, Seminole County would benefit from this because a good-faith offer has been provided and the new property owner will keep the property in good shape. 

     Speaker Request Form was received and filed.

     Commissioner Carey stated Fannie Mae probably needs to contract with local people when they have property that needs maintained, they can then contact them to do that.  She stated she is willing to support staff’s recommendation of reducing the amount to $5,500.

     Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Horan to reduce the Code Enforcement Board lien from $130,800 to $5,500 representing the 37 days of non-compliance from the date of the judicial sale of the property to Federal National Mortgage Association, for Case #11-54-CEB on property located at 693 Barbuda Way, Altamonte Springs, Tax Parcel #21-21-29-501-0000-1480, previously owned by Betty Drury and currently owned by Federal National Mortgage Association, Dave Kellam; to require the amount to be paid within 60 days or the lien will revert back to its original amount of $130,800; and authorize the Chairman to execute the Release of Lien upon payment in full. 

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

COUNTY MANAGER AND STAFF BRIEFINGS

     The Board noted, for information only, the Informational Budget Transfer Status Report for FY 2012/2013.

-------

     Mr. Hartmann requested the Board’s confirmation of appointing Antoine Khoury as the Public Works Director.

     Motion by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Horan to confirm the appointment of Antoine Khoury as the Public Works Director.

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

-------

     Joel Abel, Leisure Services Director, addressed the Board to express appreciation to George Buchannan who took sawdust from a piece of wood of The Senator and created artwork.  He advised that Mark Rice of Chainsaw Designs created a large piece of furniture from The Senator and that is on display outside the Commission Chambers. 

     Chairman Dallari stated he feels that the piece of work is truly artistry beyond compare and a plaque should be made informing the public of what it is and who designed it and provided it to the County, along with The Senator’s story.  Mr. Abel stated that is staff’s intention.

     Commissioner Carey stated she feels the chainsaw creation needs to be part of the story.  She added she also feels the piece of furniture needs to be roped off so that it can be protected from anyone wanting to sit on it or carving their name on it. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. Abel advised staff is starting to get pieces of art coming in from The Senator.  Staff does not know how much space they will actually need until they receive all of the art.  Staff has identified two places at the museum but it depends on the amount of art they get and the amount of different locations they want to put it.  He stated when he has more information, he will share it with the Board. 

     Commissioner Horan stated there have been discussions relative to fundraising and the possibility of a location at the park for display of these materials.  He stated he will be coming with more details from the Historical Commission after they discuss it at their next meeting.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

     Mr. Hartmann advised the Legislative Update has been moved to this afternoon after the public hearings.

COUNTY ATTORNEY BRIEFING

     No Report.

-------

     Chairman Dallari recessed the meeting at 11:45 a.m., reconvening at 1:30 p.m., with all Commissioners and all other Officials, with the exception of Clerk of Court Maryanne Morse, who was replaced by Chief Deputy Clerk Bruce McMenemy; and, with the exception of Deputy Clerk Eva Roach, who was replaced by Deputy Clerk Erin Leben, who were present at the Opening Session.

PROOFS OF PUBLICATION

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan, to authorize the filing of the proofs of publication for this meeting's scheduled public hearings into the Official Record.

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

PUBLIC HEARINGS

BOA APPEAL/George Kramer

     Continuation of a public hearing to consider an appeal of the Board of Adjustment decision approving a Special Exception for a Marina in the A-3 district, for property located on the north side of Black Hammock Road, approximately 150 feet east of Palm Drive, particularly known as 2332 Black Hammock Road, as described in the proof of publication, Robert King, Appellant and George Kramer, Applicant.

     Denny Gibbs, Planning & Development, addressed the Board to state she distributed a revised development order addressing some of the concerns that were raised by the Board at the November 19, 2013 meeting.  Ms. Gibbs distributed a copy of an email from Donald R. Epps, past president of the Robin Hill Homeowners Association and correspondence from Black Hammock Association (all were received and filed.)  Letters of objection were also received and filed.

     Commissioner Horan stated he felt it was in everyone’s best interest to have the parties come together and address some of the more global issues that have been identified by the public at the previous hearing.  He further expressed his opinion that it was in everyone’s best interest to continue this matter to the next public hearing. 

     Motion by Commissioner Horan, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to continue to January 14, 2013, at 1:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible, request to consider an Appeal of the Board of Adjustment decision to approve a Special Exception for a Marina in the A-3 (Agriculture) district, for property located on the north side of Black Hammock Road, approximately 150 feet east of Palm Drive, particularly known as 2332 Black Hammock Road, Robert King, Appellant and George Kramer, Applicant.

     Jim Lussier, Mateer & Harbert, addressed the Board to express his gratitude for the incentives the Board gave to the parties.  He stated that he accepts the continuance, if granted, as further direction for the parties to resolve the issue.

     Commissioner Carey inquired whether the first meeting in January would be enough time or if the second meeting date in January would be more appropriate. 

     Mr. Lussier stated he felt Commissioner Carey’s concerns were legitimate.  He stated an idea has been presented and rebuffed.  He feels that the challenge is for someone other than himself or staff to get a response out of the applicant.

     George Kramer, representing the applicant, addressed the Board to state they presented several suggested amendments based on direction, specifically the restoration plan for the landscaping and parking spaces.  He stated they did not get any comments back including the revised development order.

     Mr. Kramer stated it is his position that they should not be looking to coordinate the planning efforts with the non-conforming adjacent property owned by his client.  He asked for direction as to specifically what they are supposed to be discussing in trying to resolve this.

     Bryant Applegate, County Attorney, addressed the Board and stated his feelings were if they could get all the parties involved together for discussion, there is a chance that this can be worked out.  He thinks the Board has given staff the direction to reach a settlement.  He wants both parties to see if there is a way to globally settle the matter for everybody concerned.  He thinks that trying to get everybody to agree to talk is more important than asking the Board to give specific direction.

     Mr. Kramer stated that he made it clear that his position was not to negotiate on the property.  He was retained to plan for the Nature Center and the property within this application.  He stated he was happy to meet to talk about that, but not about any other properties, and a meeting was not scheduled.  He inquired if Mr. Applegate would be looking to schedule a meeting, understanding that some topics would be discussed and other topics would not, or whether Mr. Applegate meant they would not schedule a meeting unless they were willing to discuss items on the adjacent property.

     Mr. Applegate expressed that he was willing to schedule a meeting to allow both sides to share their views on one or both properties.  If at the conclusion of the parties sharing their views with one another it is obvious there is not going to be a settlement, then that rules that issue out.  However, he feels that it would be doing all parties involved a favor by looking at all of the issues globally.

     Commissioner Carey stated that she is viewing the application as a stand-alone application.  She feels that what is going on around it is its own issue. 

     Chairman Dallari agreed with Commissioner Carey that if the information that is presented to them is just based on one piece of property, that is the information the Board needs to be talking about.  

     Commissioner Constantine stated he feels if the parties want to come up with some agreement and solution that is amenable to both and has to do with one or both of the properties, he agrees with Mr. Applegate in that they should be able to have as much flexibility as they possibly can.  He stated he would be fully in favor of having everything on the table as the parties need. 

     Nicole Guillet, Development Services Director, addressed the Board to comment that her opinion was there were some misconceptions and assumptions on both sides of what both parties want.  She stated that a meeting outside of the public hearing setting would be beneficial to everybody so that all parties understand what the intentions and concerns are.  She feels that public hearings are not very conducive to direct discussion.

     Commissioner Carey agreed that a meeting in a private setting would be beneficial.

     No one spoke in support or in opposition of the continuance.

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

 ORDINANCE/ANNUAL UPDATE OF PROJECT/CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

     No one spoke in support or in opposition.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan, to adopt Ordinance #2013-39, as shown on page _____, approving the Annual Update of the Capital Improvements Project Schedule for the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan, as described in the proof of publication, Seminole County.

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

     GANESH BUSINESS CENTER PD REZONE/John Herbert

          Proof of publication, as shown on page _____, calling for a public hearing to consider an Ordinance approving a Rezone from M-1A (Very Light Industrial) to PD (Planned Development) for 5.26 acres located on the east side of Dot Com Court, approximately ½ mile west of Alafaya Trail, John Herbert, received and filed.

     Joy Giles, Planning & Development, addressed the Board to present the request.  She stated the subject property, located with an industrial complex, is a fully developed site with an existing 92,000-square foot building intended for light industrial uses.  The applicant is requesting a rezone to PD to allow for an indoor amusement and recreational establishment for group events, birthday parties, and corporate team building.  Catered food and alcoholic beverages will be offered in a designated area with a maximum of 25 seats as an ancillary use to the recreational activities.  The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.  Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance.

     John Herbert, Applicant, addressed the Board and offered his assistance with any questions they might have.

     No one spoke in support or in opposition.

     District commissioner Dallari recommended approval per staff’s recommendation.

     Motion by Commissioner Horan, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to adopt Ordinance #2013-35, as shown on page _____, enacting a Rezone from M-1A (Very Light Industrial) to PD (Planned Development); and approve the associated Development Order, as shown on page _____, and Master Development Plan for approximately 5.26 acres of property located on the east side of Dot Com Court, approximately ½ mile west of Alafaya Trail, as described in the proof of publication, John Herbert.     

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

     TOWN AND COUNTRY REZONE/Madden, Moorhead & Glunt

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _____, calling for a public hearing to consider an ordinance enacting a Rezone from RM-3 (Travel Trailer Park & Campsites) to R-1BB (Single Family Dwelling), for approximately 25.77 acres located on the east side of Orange Boulevard, approximately one mile north of West SR 46, Madden Moorhead & Glunt, received and filed.    

     Joy Giles, Planning & Development, addressed the Board to present the request as outlined in the agenda memorandum.

     The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the request.  Staff finds the requested rezone from RM-3 to R-1BB to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area, and recommends approval of the request. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Giles explained that RM-3 zoning permits travel trailers, tents, and park campsites for a short-term period of time, but does not allow for permanent mobile home placement.

     Charlie Madden, Madden Moorhead & Glunt, addressed the Board to state they scheduled a community meeting in October with the neighbors to inform them of what they were proposing.  Mr. Madden displayed an aerial photograph depicting the RV park currently (received & filed.)  He stated the maximum capacity is about 300 travel trailers or tents.  He believes there are roughly 170 month-to-month renters there.  He informed the Board that the property is RM-3 and the existing underlying land use is MDR, which allows up to 10 units per acre. 

     Mr. Madden explained when they first got involved with this as an MDR property land use, townhomes were considered and they did a plan for about 10 units per acre.  MI homes studied the market, and they felt like this was not the right market.  They felt it was more consistent with what they’re currently building in the Versailles development on Orange Boulevard about ½ mile away from where this is.  He stated they view this as the next phase of Versailles. 

     Mr. Madden explained that in lieu of proposing the townhomes, they went to a single-family plan, which is 76 lots at 70 feet wide by 120-foot deep.  He displayed an aerial map (received and filed) to indicate the surroundings of the site.  He indicated the RV Park was there long before Lake Forest and explained it was his belief they implemented those measures to provide adequate buffering between the RV Park and the single-family homes that they constructed. 

     Bill Wieland, Stenstrom McIntosh Colbert & Whigham, addressed the Board to discuss some of the issues that he had heard and questions that had been asked.  He distributed a packet entitled Town & Country Exhibits with a copy of the current lease (received & filed.)  He pointed out that all the leases have a 30-day termination notice clause in them, which means that the tenant can move out or be asked to leave with a 30-day notice.  He advised that included in this packet is the Statute regarding evicting short-term versus long-term residents of an RV park and solicitations that had been posted in the park and handed out to other residents from other RV resorts in the area.  One of these resorts is offering to pay half the moving expenses. 

     Frank Palik, 741 Broadoak Loop, addressed the Board to state that a lot of the residents were not aware of the public notice because they are not on the tax records because they lease and are not residents of the County.  Mr. Palik stated his concerns about the County overdeveloping the surrounding area.

     A letter from Robert and Kristine Bugnacki opposing the request was received and filed.

     No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE (Cont’d)

     Nicole Guillet, Development Services Director, stated that Senator Simmons and his “springs” bill was still a work in progress.  From what she understands, they haven’t seen that a new draft has taken a direction that will be much more favorable to the County. 

     Ms. Guillet reminded the Board they had three legislative priorities last year that involved Medicaid, the regional transportation authority, and the communication service tax.  She said Commissioner Henley represented the Board in front of the Legislative Delegation and he mentioned several items including the Medicaid issue.  He also talked about the “springs” legislation and concerns of the Florida Retirement System, which have been ongoing concerns since the last legislative session.  In addition, they talked about an appropriations issue, which is repayment of funds owed to the County through the Juvenile Justice System, which amounts to almost $3 million.  They have already started discussing that with some of their local delegation and that is an appropriations issue.  Ms. Guillet wanted to confirm with the Board as a whole that that is their initial list of priorities. 

     Commissioner Carey noted that another thing that Commissioner Horan also presented to the Legislative Delegation was regarding the Charter County Transportation Bill.  She feels that the County needs to either lobby for that because that infrastructure sales tax can potentially be used for operations as well as capital.  She believes that may be easier to change than the Charter County Transportation Bill.  She said that one way or another, they need to have that flexibility in the taxes that they are able to put out to the public in a public referendum or they can levy that so they have some flexibility in how it gets spent. 

     Ms. Guillet agreed with Commissioner Carey and stated that she did not leave that off of the list.  She stated that the Economic Development Council had been talking about some different options for the Board to consider in the future, and taxes and infrastructure sales tax are back on the table.  Ms. Guillet explained that over the last few years they had talked about some legislative changes to the Charter County Sales Tax.   As Commissioner Carey stated, that may be more applicable to the infrastructure surtax.  She inquired if the Board still had an interest to pursue some sort of a revision in whichever one would be the easiest to get revision or whether there is something that is a priority and if there is a specific tax they want to target. 

     Chairman Dallari stated he thinks it is always good to have flexibility.  He also stated that he thinks there is a need to see if there is an appetite with their Legislators to see if they are willing to take that up and carry it. 

     Commissioner Carey stated that out of the 67 counties, only roughly 14 are Charter counties, so one tax does not apply to a lot of the counties.  However, between the $10 million cap, the doubling of the homestead exemption that the Legislature did and home values declining, many of the counties need the flexibility to use their portion of the sales tax that comes back to them through a normal process or something that they have levied to be able to spend some of that for operational costs, because the only other option they have is a property tax and then only the people that own property are paying it.  She pointed out that there are many people in the Central Florida and Seminole County areas that come from Volusia, Lake and Orange Counties, who are not property owners, to shop.  These people are spending money here and paying that sales tax.  She feels that the infrastructure sales tax may be an easier one to get some flexibility on and feels that it should be up to the local jurisdiction to use those funds as they see fit to meet their budget needs.

     Commissioner Horan stated it seems to make a lot of sense to give all the counties that kind of flexibility in a global infrastructure tax and it should be politically palatable.  

     Commissioner Horan also discussed the fact that they had four or five major drivers to their budget this year, one of which was Lynx, which was a $3.2 million increase over last year.  He mentioned that the State owes the County over $3 million for Juvenile Detention.  They have no way of giving the County credit because they took over their own Juvenile Justice System.  He expressed that he feels it should be a priority. 

     Chairman Dallari stated they have had some conversations with Representative Brodeur on that particular topic and staff is working with him to come up with some creative ideas to move that forward. 

     Commissioner Carey stated that she believes Commissioner Constantine could probably point them in the right direction of who they need to be lobbying because of the fact that if you’ve got to have money appropriating, it’s got to come from an appropriation group, not necessarily the Juvenile Justice Division.  She requested Commissioner Constantine let staff know where to go look for that money in the easiest way.

     Commissioner Constantine advised that he has spoken with the Chairman of the Senate and the Criminal Justice Committee.

     Commissioner Horan stated they had a lengthy conversation at the Florida Association of Counties Legislative meeting on the finance and tax committee.  He stated there is a lot of appetite in the Legislature to eliminate that tax.  The problem is they are trying to make it revenue neutral, which is very difficult. 

     Chairman Dallari requested a list of the main legislative priorities for this county and the surrounding counties.

-------

     Ms. Guillet gave an update on what they are doing with their Federal lobbyists.  She indicated they have been working on and monitoring the SunRail funding issue.  There is also an issue on Homeland Security funding they will be working on. 

     Commissioner Carey stated that monitoring what is going on with the SunRail funding is great.  She expressed that she would really like them to work with the lobbyists for the other people in the region to lobby to get the money.

     Ms. Guillet explained that they were and they represent several of their neighboring counties.  Chairman Dallari indicated they represent Volusia, Orange and Osceola Counties. 

     Ms. Guillet stated that they were instrumental in arranging some of the meetings.  She indicated they are not the only ones vying for their attention on that issue. 

     Ms. Guillet advised that Orlando’s new slogan is “Orlando, you don’t know the half of it.”  Chairman Dallari expressed that he feels like the slogan is a little too negative for PR.  Ms. Guillet explained that they are intending to embark on a costly major marketing plan.

     Commissioner Carey inquired whether they unveiled this slogan without having the Economic Development Council (EDC) Board approval.  Ms. Guillet responded that she did not know the background. 

     Commissioner Constantine explained they have had a branding committee working with a number of different individuals that have been working on this along with advertising companies.  They presented it at the Mall of Millennia on November 20th.  He explained that they have not approved it completely yet.  They then had a subsequent meeting called the “One Orlando” on November 4, 5 and 6.  He attended meetings on both the 4th and the 5th of November.  He explained that their intent with the new slogan is to try to indicate to businesses and others that it is not just about tourism; it’s about a lot of other opportunities in Central Florida. 

     Chairman Dallari reiterated his concern that the slogan sounds a little too negative.  Commissioner Constantine explained that is why they want to have meetings with all of the Board members and to discuss where they intend to go with this and how they intend to go.  He expressed that he agrees with Chairman Dallari that on the surface the slogan sounds very negative.  He explained that if you look at the way they are presenting it, they are trying to indicate Orlando is not just a tourist destination and it has a lot more to offer.  He requested that the Board keep an open mind when they come and do their presentation.

     Commissioner Carey asked if they were briefing the EDC Board when they would have their monthly Board meetings.  Commissioner Constantine explained that they were briefing as to the way they were going about trying to develop the branding. 

     Commissioner Horan inquired if there had been any resistance from the tourism industry pertaining to the slogan.  Commissioner Constantine stated that the individual that is in charge of the branding committee is a representative of Disney. 

     Chairman Dallari inquired if they would be looking for more money.  Ms. Guillet indicated she believed they would.  She stated the EDC would take the lead on managing this branding effort, and somebody needs to pay for all of the collateral that goes with it.

     Chairman Dallari expressed his concern that whatever direction they go as a region for economic development that the focus is not just on Orange County and Orlando, but efforts are also focused on Seminole County.  He feels if they are branding, Seminole County needs to be involved in it and not left behind.

     Ms. Guillet stated her understanding is that the branding process was driven primarily by the private sector and private partners.  She imagines they will look at all their partners to contribute.  She has expressed to EDC staff that if there is an expectation as a funding partner, Seminole County should be involved in it.

     Chairman Dallari expressed his feelings that if this County is expected to participate financially, then they should be expected to participate from the beginning and not at the 12th hour. 

     Ms. Guillet stated she believes the EDC is now sensitive to that and hopes they will be meeting with the Board soon.  She stated they expressed that was their intention.

     Chairman Dallari stated he had one meeting with the EDC where they showed him the slogan and he expressed his concern about it being a little too negative for economic development.

     Commissioner Horan inquired whether the slogan was run by the Congress.  Chairman Dallari responded that it was not brought up in front of the Congress.

     Ms. Guillet stated that this has been funded out of a pot of money at the EDC with no contribution from the public.  She stated that moving forward, there may be a need to go to all of their funding partners. 

     Chairman Dallari stated they need to renegotiate their contract with the EDC and they are talking about measurements on that contract.

     Ms. Guillet stated they are the only local government funding partner that has not signed a contract yet because they have been trying to come to some sort of an agreement on including some type of performance measure or reference to performance measures in the contract.  She stated they will do that in a two-step process, put some language in this year and then some more specific language in next year.

     Commissioner Constantine pointed out that there was no obligation for anyone to help pay for the branding program.  He feels that as they move forward, they would love all of them to participate and are sensitive to the fact that they would want each of them to be supportive.  He stated that 30% of all the new job opportunities that have come into Central Florida in the last few years have come into Seminole County. 

     Ms. Guillet stated that the EDC is aware of the concerns.
