REGULAR AGENDA

Ray Hooper, Purchasing Manager, addressed the Board to seek direction regarding RFI-600219-07/BJC-Aeromedical Helicopter Services. The County issued a RFI with the intention of evaluating the feasibility for the acquisition of aeromedical helicopter services. These services will include Emergency Medical Services helicopter to be used for emergency response within Seminole County and to agencies outside the County during mutual aid requests. The Board directed staff on November 11, 2007 to compile a matrix to compare additional information from both of the firms, Omniflight Helicopters, Inc. and Air Methods/Life Net Corp.

Upon inquiry by Chairman Carey, Tad Stone, Public Safety Director, addressed the Board to explain what staff’s analysis were of the two firms that responded to the aeromedical services. He stated after the reviews, he would recommend not entering a contract with either one of the agencies because he feels they can get the same level of services and the same perimeters established by doing this through the certificate of need and necessity process. He said Omniflight currently has a COPCN to operate in Seminole County and Air Methods does not. He added he would recommend that staff negotiate with ORMC to establish the new perimeters for the new Certificate of Necessity based on the responses of the RFI and backup documents. Staff would negotiate this and bring it back to the Board for consideration. Staff is also recommending a two-year COPCN. In addition, staff is recommending that a COPCN be issued to Air Methods so that they can become compliant with the State Statute. If there is a need for a second helicopter to be based within the County, they would let the market regulate itself. If their method was determined that there would be enough business to come to the County, staff would then go back with the same perimeters and rework a COPCN. There is no funding from the County to support any of these operations. It would allow Vendor #1, Omniflight, to expand their operations and Vendor #2, Air Methods, to be issued a COPCN and become in compliance with the statutes.

Mr. Stone explained for Commissioner Dallari why staff hasn’t discussed with Orange County their aeromedical services and them wanting to expand.

Chairman Carey stated the consensus is not to do a contract but issue a COPCN to both firms and negotiate with Omniflight to station the unit here and let the market run itself.

Commissioner Dallari recommended that staff contact Orange County on this issue as well.

-------

Mr. Hooper presented request to award RFP-600244-07/GGM-Lease/Purchase of Computer Equipment and/or Technical Staffing Services to ESQ IT Solutions as outlined in the agenda memorandum.

Commissioner McLean confirmed that the County is able to either lease or buy depending on what is advantageous for them.

Chairman Carey stated she agrees with moving forward on this process, but they need to look at what the equipment is they are providing to staff; and give them what they need to do their jobs. However, she feels some of this is overkill and that not everyone needs a 21” flat screen monitor. She stated she would like to see staff give the Board a count of how many people fall under the entry level category, how many fall under the mid-management category, and how many fall under the high-level category where they need “super doper” computers.

Ms. Coto stated the previous lease agreement was done for one-size fits all. The leases were for a 36-month period of time and there was no ability to purchase. This lease allows for 36, 48 or 60 months.

Robert Beach, BITS Director, addressed the Board to respond to some of the concerns the Board had with regard to the request.

Chairman Carey stated she is not going to support buying 100 PC’s with 21” monitors as there are not 100 people in this organization that needs that size of monitor.

Commissioner McLean stated five years ago a lot of the business applications could not be anticipated that are now utilized in the systems. He stated the change in cost of a 21” screen is not that great.

Chairman Carey stated she doesn’t have a problem with the contract that is before them, but she would like to have some clear direction as far as how is this going to work.

Ms. Coto stated staff can bring back the standards to the Board as it relates to what type of justification is required for the high end. She stated staff will be happy to put together a policy that identifies what type of justification they will have to go through to get anything other than a standard model.

Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to award RFP-600244-07/GGM, as shown on page ________, Lease/Purchase of Computer Equipment and/or Technical Staffing Services to ESQ IT Solutions.

He advised I-TradeFX plans to add 100 new jobs with an average salary of $70,000.

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner McLean to adopt appropriate Resolution #2007-R-230, as shown on page ________, recognizing I-TradeFX as a Qualified Target Industry (QTI) and providing an appropriation of $80,000 as local participation in the state QTI tax refund program.

Jerry McCollum, County Engineer, addressed the Board to request direction regarding surplus property acquired in conjunction with CR 46A, Phase III, road improvement project from west of Forrest Drive to east of Vinewood Drive. Staff is recommending declaring 40 ft. of property surplus and constructing a 6 ft. wall along the property line. One resident had some concerns with regard to the location of the sidewalk. He displayed a map and reviewed the issue of the sidewalk. He stated if the Board would like to consider moving it, it will need to be at least 10 ft. from the curb line.

Chairman Carey stated she would like the Board to allow her to work with Mr. McCollum to make a final decision on the sidewalk based on site conditions and to meet with the residents regarding this issue. She said she is looking for Board direction to move forward with declaring this property surplus and giving her flexibility to work with staff on the wall and sidewalk.

Mr. McCollum stated one resident has asked staff to look at cul-de-sacing Vinewood. A letter from Hulan Black regarding his concerns was received and filed.

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner McLean to authorize staff to move forward with declaring surplus property in conjunction with CR 46A, Phase III and authorize Chairman Carey to work with Mr. McCollum and to meet with the residents regarding the sidewalk and the wall.

COUNTY MANAGER’S BRIEFING

Bryan Nipe, Streetscapes and Trails Division Manager, addressed the Board to receive direction concerning improvements to Soldiers Creek Park per Board request during budget hearings on July 31^st and August 2. He reviewed the additional improvements being proposed and the source of funding. Staff is requesting Board consideration of further funding to address field playability, fencing, and other improvements to mitigate risk. Staff is also recommending demolition of existing baseball clubhouse/concession/restroom as it has been deemed too costly to renovate. The total cost for demolition hinges on potential hazard abatement from the structure prior to work.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he knows that Commissioner Henley was interested in the project and he is not in attendance, and he feels the Board should get his input prior to making a recommendation.

Chairman Carey stated she believes Commissioner Henley was interested in bringing the fields up to speed and she feels staff needs to move forward with this. Whatever direction is given to staff, they can provide the information to Commissioner Henley.

Upon inquiry by Chairman Carey, Mr. Nipe advised the total cost of demolition is $15,000. He informed Chairman Carey that staff’s intention is to replace certain sidewalks that need to be replaced. There are certain sidewalks around the park that are hazardous and are not ADA accessible. Staff wants to provide access to other fields that don’t have sidewalk access at this time.

Maryanne Morse, Clerk of Court, reentered the meeting at this time.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Ms. Coto advised she has not received any input on this issue from Commissioner Henley.

Chairman Carey recommended continuing this item to 1:30 p.m.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLean, Mr. Nipe advised staff’s intent is to do the renovation all at once as they would like the fields ready for the winter league ball.

Commissioner McLean stated because of Commissioner Henley’s long time involvement in this, he would like to give him an opportunity to comment.

Chairman Carey stated staff will contact Commissioner Henley regarding this item and the Board will bring it back at 1:30 p.m., the first item on the agenda.

-------

Joe Abel, Leisure Services Director, addressed the Board to request direction on establishing a fifteen (15) member Leisure Services Advisory Committee that would replace the existing Natural Lands, Trails and Greenways, and Parks & Recreation Advisory Committees effective January 2008. He reviewed the focus of each of the three committees. The total number of the three committees is 40 and all three have had a range of attendance commitment ranging from active participation to marginal attendance and participation. He stated to create a more consistent focus, staff is recommending adopting a combination of the three committees into a Leisure Services Advisory Committee consisting of 15 members, (5 members representing natural land management, 5 members representing trail user groups, and 5 members representing parks and recreation).

Chairman Carey stated this came about as the groups started to fulfill their missions. She stated she feels this is a great idea as it will take some burden off of staff.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Abel advised he is recommending a two-year commitment as they will have people with knowledge, background or interest in trails and parks and recreation.

Robert McMillan, County Attorney, advised a resolution will be brought back to the Board that will deal with the mechanics of the appointments and whether or not they will be staggered. Discussion ensued.

Chairman Carey stated the consensus of the Board is to move forward with establishing a 15-member Leisure Services Advisory Committee that would replace the existing Natural Lands, Trails and Greenways, and Parks and Recreation Advisory Committees effective January 2008. She stated a resolution will be brought back to the Board at the next meeting. She asked that the Board members be notified in advance for the appointments, and she requested that staff notify the previous committee members of the Board’s intention.

-------

Dori DeBord, Planning & Development Director, addressed the Board to display a PowerPoint Presentation regarding an action plan for conducting a study of the SeminoleWay corridor (i.e. SR 417 Expressway) for purposes of economic development and job growth. She stated this effort started back on August 28 when the Board asked staff to look at making SeminoleWay an economic corridor. Staff has worked closely with the City of Oviedo, City of Winter Springs and the City of Sanford. She began her presentation by reviewing the Study Goals; Study Objectives; SR 417-Creating the Corridor; a Table of Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey; and Maps of Class A Office Space (Employee Base and Salary Base). She continued by reviewing the Case Study-North I-4 HIP-TI; SeminoleWay Proposed Corridor; and an Analysis regarding Parcel Spread by Type and Size. She said staff’s recommendations are: (1) Deal with the Economic Aspect of this Corridor; (2) Look at the Planning Aspects of Infrastructure Needs; and (3) Identify the Marketing & Incentives. She concluded her presentation by reviewing the Challenges; Time Frame; and Proposed Budget. She stated staff needs outside help with this as they are busy working on the EAR based amendment process. She said they believe this study will cost approximately $150,000 ($60,000 economic portion; $55,000 Planning portion; and $33,000 Marketing Incentive).

Upon inquiry by Chairman Carey, Ms. DeBord advised she was waiting for Board direction with regard to partnering with the cities. She stated she informed the cities that the County may be going forward with a recommendation of looking for a partnership.

Chairman Carey stated as they move forward, the easy place to start is at the intersections and she feels it is important that they have Comp Plan Amendments in place to address the interchanges in this spring cycle. She stated she would support funding partners with the cities starting with the intersection approach and to try to make sure it is in the early spring.

Ms. DeBord stated if the Board would give staff direction with splitting the cost of 50/50 with the cities, they can start the economic aspect of the study with the County’s money; and the cities will have to take it to their Boards for approval.

Chairman Carey stated she was looking for equal partnerships with the cities.

Commissioner McLean stated he feels the idea of moving forward makes sense, but he would caution the Board of getting involved in a specific allocation of funds only from a standpoint of allowing their partners to individually determine what they can afford.

Upon inquiry by Chairman Carey, Ms. Coto advised she reviewed this with Commissioner Henley and he felt the cities would definitely benefit from this as they will receive tax dollars as these interchanges are developed. Commissioner Henley questioned why a consultant was necessary and she informed him that because of the EAR-based amendment, they do not have enough County staff or city staff to devote more time to it. If it is going to be done as part of the Comprehensive Plan rewrite, they would need to bring in individuals from the outside. She stated he felt that they may not need to do it as part of the EAR-based amendment and it can be done later.

Chairman Carey stated with a four-way split, each entity would have to come up with $37,500.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he would like to think that their partners could come up with $37,000; and if they can’t, they will have a bigger issue on their hands than they thought they had.

Commissioner Dallari stated the area they are looking at is one mile off the Expressway; and he would like to know if that includes portions of the Black Hammock. He said he would like to exclude that from the study as it is part of a rural area.

Ms. DeBord stated staff could refine the corridor to exclude all rural lands.

Commissioner Dallari stated he feels a commitment should be made to not include the rural areas.

Commissioner McLean stated he feels Commissioner Dallari is making a good point as this has been a community-based initiative.

Ms. DeBord advised staff will be glad to redraw the line to take the rural areas out of the corridor analysis.

Chairman Carey stated she feels that environmental sensitive lands should not be included in this study as well.

Ms. DeBord informed Chairman Carey that staff will bring back a firm recommendation in January as soon as they get with the Cities’ staffs.

Ms. Coto requested the Board authorize up to a certain dollar amount so the economic study could be done while they are negotiating with the cities. She stated otherwise, staff will not be able to do anything until the January 8, 2008 meeting.

Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Dallari to approve up to $70,000 for the economic portion of the SeminoleWay corridor study; and authorize staff to negotiate with the equal partners (cities) and to come back with recommendations; Budget Amendment Resolution #2007-R-243, as shown on page _______.

Sheryl Stolzenberg, Planning, addressed the Board to update the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) process. She stated every seven years, the County and cities have to assess their Comprehensive Plan. She reviewed the studies and programs included in the process relating to the Rural Character, Strategy Plan, Policy Recommendations, Multi-jurisdiction Visioning Process, Availability of Funds, and Possible Changes in Land Use Configuration. Staff has developed a schedule of key dates to accomplish this effort and that is included in the backup. Staff is working with an advisory committee to the CRA Board to see how they can change land use designation called mixed development and how they might best suit that so it will accomplish the objectives of the strategy plan for the U.S. 17-92 corridor. She stated staff is working with SGTV in putting together informational and educational material.

Chairman Carey stated Senator Webster and Representative Cannon have asked for a list of things that the Growth Management Plan and Comprehensive Land Plan would keep them from moving forward with the vision of “How Shall They Grow” today.

Commissioner Dallari stated he feels they need to continue to move forward on this and he would like to know when and where the community meetings will be held.

Ms. Stolzenberg stated staff is moving forward in identifying locations and the time.

The consensus of the Board was to move forward on the proposed action plan and for SeminoleWay (i.e. SR 417 Expressway) to be included in the EAR process.

Commissioner Dallari requested the County Manager give him a quick update on Yankee Lake today.

CONSIDERATION OF APPEAL AGAINST

BOA, H. DANIEL HUTTER/DAVID WALKER

Proof of publication, as shown on page ________, calling for a public hearing to consider an Appeal against the Board of Adjustment’s decision to approve a lot size variance from 43,560 square feet to 40,904 square feet; a front yard setback variance from 50 feet to 40 feet; and a side street setback variance from 50 feet to 10 feet for a proposed single family home in the A-1 (Agriculture) District for property owned by George & Sandarah Wilkes located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Elm Street and Shady Palm Cove, received and filed.

Planner, Kathy Fall, addressed the Board to present the request, stating the location of the wetlands on the property prohibits the applicant from constructing a home without encroaching into the required setbacks. Therefore, she stated that staff recommends upholding the Board of Adjustment and granting the variances.

George Wilkes, subject property owner, addressed the Board to advise he purchased this property because of the lack of permitting he would have to receive from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He said that the basic objection to the variance seems to be that the house will be visible from Shady Palm Cove. However, the adjacent house is visible and Mr. Walker’s house (appellant) is also visible from the road. He added the EPA has advised him that if he encroaches into the wetlands, it will cost $10,000 to $12,000.

Daniel Hutter, Appellant, 4688 Lighthouse Circle, addressed the Board to speak in opposition to the granting of the variance, stating placing the house this close to the street will devalue his property. He expressed his concern about setting a precedence and that others will want the same variances. He said this neighborhood is well established and the setbacks should be upheld.

Dave Jones, 1160 Elm Street, addressed the Board to advise he owns the property next door to the subject property and his house sits 80 feet from the road. He stated the only reason his house is visible from the road is because of Hurricane Charlie. He said he objects to the variances and expressed his concern with rescue vehicles having access. He said in order to not encroach in the wetlands on his property, he had to build a house that was not his first choice, but his third choice.

David Walker, Appellant, 1140 Shady Palm Cove, addressed the Board to read into the Record the appeal he filed with the County with regard to the requested variances.

Michele Peterson, 998 Elm Street, addressed the Board to speak in opposition of the variances, stating out of 20 or so homes in the area, only three are visible from the street. Of those three homes, the closest is 80 feet from the road. She said this is a rural, agricultural-type road and the area is totally different from a typical subdivision. She added she feels the variances are inappropriate for the area.

No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Speaker Request Forms were received and filed.

District Commissioner McLean stated variances, historically, have been tied to unique circumstances because of the concern for setting a precedent. He said this is a rural area and he does not want to open the door for people to come in and change it. Therefore, he would recommend reversing the BOA on this item.

Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Dallari to grant the Appeal, thereby, reversing the Board of Adjustment’s decision in approving a lot size variance from 43,560 square feet to 40,904 square feet; a front yard setback variance from 50 feet to 40 feet; and a side street setback variance from 50 feet to 10 feet for a proposed single family home in the A-1 (Agriculture) District for property owned by George & Sandarah Wilkes located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Elm Street and Shady Palm Cove, as described in the proof of publication, H. Daniel Hutter/David Walker.

Under discussion, Chairman Carey questioned if Commissioner McLean’s intent is to also deny the lot size variance.

Ms. Fall advised the lot would be unbuildable, if the lot size variance is denied.

Commissioner McLean clarified the motion, stating his intent is to grant the lot size variance and deny the front yard setback and side street setback variances.

Commissioner Dallari agreed to the clarification of the motion.

Districts 1, 2, 3 and 5 voted AYE.

Planner, Sheryl Stolzenberg, addressed the Board to present the proposed ordinance, advising staff recommends adoption of same.

John Horvath, 1004 Bradford Drive, spoke in support of the ordinance, stating be believes this is a good thing so the citizens will know where their tax dollars are being spent.

He said the P&Z Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning; and staff also recommends approval.

Hugh Harling, applicant, stated at the P&Z meeting an issue was brought up regarding drainage. He said there is a drainage pond on the site, but it was not constructed to the size shown on the plan. Therefore, they are committing to correct that deficiency when a building permit is issued.

Chapman Road and east of SR 417, 220 feet west of Tatra Street, Terra Engineering/Rashad H. Jamalabad, received and filed.

Assistant Planning Manager, Tina Williamson, addressed the Board to present the request, advising the applicant is requesting the rezone in order to operate a boat/truck/RV rental facility, a warehouse and a truck repair/storage facility. She further advised the P&Z Commission voted 4-0 to recommend denial of the request. She stated staff recommends approval of the rezoning as the future land use designation of the property is Industrial which allows the requested zoning district.

Rashad Jamalabad, applicant, addressed the Board to advise there have been some concerns from the neighbors about the drainage and he wants to assure everyone that they will design the site so that the drainage will be taken care of.

Mark Bay, 2210 Eagle Pass Road, addressed the Board to advise he finished building his home a couple years ago and he is opposed to the requested rezoning. He stated he objects to the fact that the Zoning Commission denied this request last month and now it is before the BCC for consideration again in the middle of the day. He expressed his concern that the increase in truck traffic will tear up the roads; and the business will be run 24 hours a day, which is a security threat. He said environmentally, this is a potential disaster with fuel, oil and chemical spills. He added that the proposed rezoning is out of character for this area and he would request denial of same.

Upon inquiry by Chairman Carey, Ms. Williamson advised the future land use for the property is Industrial.

Catherine Rodenburg, 2200 W. Chapman Road, addressed the Board to speak in opposition, stating with 417 supposedly being 8-laned and now this rezoning request, she believes this is a lot to put on the area residents and this agricultural area. She displayed photographs (not received & filed) of her home. She said the road is flooded all the time and she mostly maintains it herself.

Chris Larkson, 2235 Eagle Pass Road, addressed the Board to voice his objections to the requested rezoning, expressing his concern with flooding on the properties surrounding the subject parcel. He said there never was a problem with flooding until 426 was widened. He also expressed his concern with the quality of water that will be coming off of the property, stating there will be oil and fuel and the residents all have wells. He displayed a photograph (not received & filed) of his house and photographs of the subject property.

Ms. Williamson advised that the applicant will have to comply with all drainage requirements when he comes in with a site plan.

Developer Review Manager, Larry Ponder, addressed the Board to concur with Ms. Williamson that all County codes and regulations regarding drainage and water run-off will have to be complied with.

The Chairman noted a Written Comment Form (received & filed) was submitted by John Rodenburg in opposition to the rezoning.

Mr. Jamalabad stated that the concerns about the drainage and water quality will be addressed during the design stage. He said the area will be in much better shape and more enhanced when the subject property is developed.

County Engineer, Jerry McCollum advised he will follow-up on the possibility of the widening of 417 with FDOT.

No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Speaker Comment Forms were received and filed.

District Commissioner Dallari stated C-3 zoning does not put the controls on the property that he would like to see. Therefore, he would rather consider a PCD zoning.

County Attorney, Robert McMillan, stated that the applicant would have to do some submittals in order to go with PCD; however, the Board can continue this item to allow him the opportunity to do so.

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to continue until January 22, 2008, consideration of a request to rezone from A-1 (Agriculture) to C-3 (General Commercial & Wholesale) for approximately 11.26 acres, located south of W. Chapman Road and east of SR 417, 220 feet west of Tatra Street, as described in the proof of publication, Terra Engineering/Rashad H. Jamalabad.

Alan Willis, Development Review, addressed the Board to present the request, advising the subject right-of-way is not needed for public access and the proposed vacate will not hinder access to any adjacent properties. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the request.

It was determined the applicant nor his representative were in attendance.

Dr. Harry Thomas, 1906 Center Drive, addressed the Board to advise he lives to the west of the property in question. He asked if the property has been rezoned because he has heard that an “old folks” home was going to be built on it.

Mr. Willis advised the property is still zoned A-1 and this public hearing is only to consider the vacate.

Dr. Thomas stated he would be concerned if the property is rezoned to commercial.

Chairman Carey reiterated that there is only a request to vacate before the Board and not a rezoning request.

Attorney McMillan advised Dr. Thomas that if he lives within 300 feet of the property, he will be notified if rezoning is requested.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

Assistant County Attorney, Susan Dietrich, and Director of Fiscal Services, Lisa Spriggs, addressed the Board to give the Board an update on the legislative program and activities pertaining to same. Attorney Dietrich stated one of the County’s top legislative priorities is the support of legislation implementing the Charter County Transit System Surtax for all counties rather than just those counties chartered before January 1, 1984. She advised that at the recent Legislative Delegation meeting, LYNX, MetroPlan, and the League of Women Voters all voiced their support for this priority. She asked if the Board wants the County’s Lobbyist, Bobby Brantley, to actively pursue this item.

The Board unanimously agreed that Mr. Brantley should take the lead on this priority.

Attorney Dietrich advised the final 2008 FAC program is not available at this time; but there is a draft copy should any Commissioners wish it. She stated that in addition to the property tax issue, the FAC program includes the following: opposing unfunded mandates; supporting efforts to strengthen the State Comp Plan; opposing legislation that would eliminate County role in siting mines; supporting enhancements for local financial capacity to address water resource and water supply development and maintain current limits on use of Florida Forever funding; opposing expansion of Medicaid reform pilot projects; supporting the transportation disadvantaged system; supporting creation of the Florida Public Safety Coordinating Commission; supporting suspension of Medicaid benefits for inmates incarcerated for less than one year; and supporting additional funding to DJJ.

Chairman Carey stated Mr. Brantley needs to strongly voice opposition with regard to the State tapping into the Florida Forever funding.

Ms. Spriggs briefly discussed the property tax reform legislation.

Ms. Coto distributed the proposed flyer (received & filed) for the educational information on the January 29th property tax reform amendment. She stated the County, along with the Cities and the School Board, will be distributing the same information and are proposing to bear their own costs for mailing. She said they will also be running this information on SGTV.

Chairman Carey stated the most effective time to do this mailing would be right before the election.

A brief discussion ensued with regard to the Fire Fighters Union doing their educational mail-out and coordinating the two mail-outs.

Commissioner McLean commended the staff and committee for their work on this educational program.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT

Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLean, Ms. Spriggs gave a brief update on the SBA Fund, advising the County still has approximately $96 to $98 million in the fund.

Chairman Carey stated that the Clerk has been in close contact with her and has, in fact, made additional withdrawals and about $70 million is remaining in the fund. Also, management of the fund has been turned over to BlackRock Management. She suggested that the Board needs to review the current Investment Policy because it probably needs updating.

Ms. Coto advised that the Clerk has indicated that she will be bringing something forward for the Board’s consideration.

The Chairman stated that she would want the BCC’s financial people to look at the policy. She commended the Clerk for acting so quickly and keeping the Board involved and updated on this.

Commissioner McLean proposed an investment committee be established in order to support the Clerk on this.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he believes that over the years, the State has taken more and more risk with the counties’ money.

Chairman Carey request Ms. Coto bring the investment policy back to the Board next year.

-------

Director of Environmental Services, Dr. John Cirello, addressed the Board to give an update on the Yankee Lake project, advising they have made submission to the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) for a surface water consumptive permit and that permit has been received, which is for Phase I of the project. Phase I is a 5.5 million gallons per day withdrawal from the St. Johns River. He further advised that they are submitting the second RFI this week to them; and at the same time, the District is preparing the TSR, technical report, on the permit. He said they were at the SJRWMD Board work session yesterday where they were being introduced to the concept of alternative water supply. He stated that it was clear to them that they need to begin a public information-type effort with the SJRWMD board members with regard to what the County is trying to accomplish. The issues revolve around the concept of taking water from the river at a rate and a quantity that would have little or no affect to downstream users. He stated that Jacksonville and some environmental groups have expressed concern about this. He further stated they learned yesterday that the District is going to do an additional study on the St. Johns to reconfirm their minimum flow and level report, which currently says that one can take up to 150 million gallons a day from the river with little or no affect. At the same time, he said they are submitting their first RFI to the EPA for the intake structure and hope to get an early release letter from them for the plant site down to the wetlands. They will receive the final ERP from DEP within the next 60 to 90 days.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Dr. Cirello stated that SJRWMD has been urging the County over the past to look for alternative water source other than ground water.

Upon further inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Dr. Cirello stated they have put together a plan which does call for additional assistance with regard to lobbying and are in the process of investigating and evaluating individuals and companies who could do that for the County. He added that they believe they can get someone on board within the next couple of weeks.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Chairman Carey stated, as Chairman, she and County staff have been reviewing the boards and committees. There are over 40 boards and committees that the five commissioners serve on; and they are trying to determine how some of these have been established and how they have evolved over the years. Because of budget constraints, she is suggesting CALNO, Mayors & Managers Committee, and the Joint City/County Advisory Committee, be combined into one committee. She said there appears to be a duplication of efforts with regard to these three boards. The proposed committee would, basically, restructure CALNO and consist of two members from each city and two members from the County. They would meet on a quarterly basis with members from the Chamber of Commerce, the School Board, PBAS, and SCC to make sure that all the issues are on the table. Discussion ensued.

Commissioner Dallari stated streamlining government is good; however, he would like to start off by notifying all the affected parties about what they are trying to accomplish and get their input on same.

Chairman Carey advised CALNO has recommended appointment of Commissioner Colleen Hufford, from the City of Casselberry, to the Tourist Development Council, replacing Commissioner Wolfram.
