     Dr. Ann McGee, SCC President, addressed the Board to advise the cost of the project is $2.5 million. 

     Commissioner Carey stated she would like for the County employees to not be charged for the use of the facility.  She said she also received a letter from Richard Creedon of Geneva requesting that there be sufficient plantings and dense vegetation between the complex and Osceola Road.  She said she had DCM Fisher view the site and he has indicated that there will be some distance between the complex and the road. 

     Ms. Lung advised the distance is about 1,000 feet. 

     Commissioner Carey advised the other concern is about the noise and light pollution; and stated that through the permitting process, they can work with the community to make sure everything is in place that is needed. 

     Chairman Henley said one of the biggest concerns is the noise in the evening time from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. 

     C.J. Hague, SCC, addressed the Board to advise from the college’s perspective, they can go to interior classes after 5:00 p.m.  He added that the agency would have to take care of their own noise.  He said they will do everything they can to curtail the noise. 

     A brief discussion ensued with regard to the funding and Commissioner McLean asked if there could be some sort of a waiver of the usage fees for County employees. 

     Dr. McGee stated they could look at waiving the fees for five years.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner McLean to approve allocating $200,000 of funding as requested by Seminole Community College for use in the construction of a driving track at the SCC Public Safety Training Complex; and adopt appropriate Budget Amendment Resolution #2006-R-291, as shown on page _______, in the amount of $200,000, for same, contingent upon working out an acceptable agreement with the college.

     Commissioner Carey stated the County is this organization’s primary funding source.  She said this group does play a valuable role in the community; but she does not want the County to be the primary funding source for any of the non-profit groups.  She added that she is looking forward to the mid-year report. 

     Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he is not sure the Board’s goal is to “wean” this group; but to make sure they deserve the funding they are getting.  He further stated that the funding should be adjusted when the County has a windfall or cut back when it doesn’t.  He said that when the County boosts the funding per capita for United Arts, but wants to cut this group, it concerns him.

PROPORTIONATE SHARE TEXT AMENDMENTS

TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

     Continuation of a public hearing to consider adoption of Ordinance to amend the text of the Comprehensive Plan to enable the use of proportionate fair share funding of a transportation improvement and authorize transmittal of the proposed amendments to DCA, as described in the proof of publication.

     Ms. Stolzenberg presented the request, stating staff made the recommended changes by the State and received verbal approval from the Department of Community Affairs.  She said staff is recommending the Board authorize the transmittal of the proposed amendments and adoption of the ordinance.

     Commissioner Carey stated one of her concerns is if people are going to pay a pro rata share of something that’s in their Capital Improvements Program or on a project, then the budget numbers in the CIP need to be closer than they have been in the past to accurately reflect what it cost to do the project, because the pro rata share is going to be based on what the budget number is.

     Chairman Henley asked if they go ahead and set the amounts on the various projects and it’s a year or two down the road before it comes in, is it on the current dollars or the original dollars set the prior two years. 

     Brett Blackadar, Principal Engineer, addressed the Board to state the way the ordinance is written is that staff would project out the cost at the time of the payment.  It is an estimate at the time the payment is made, and if the cost goes up, staff does not have a way to recapture that proportionate share.

     Upon further inquiry by Chairman Henley, Commissioner Carey said the numbers can be updated each time they go through the process.  She explained she would rather the numbers in the budget be a little generous rather than short.

     Chairman Henley explained he raised the question, knowing what the answer would be, in order for everyone to understand that they can adjust these annually to try to keep the numbers current and accurate.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to adopt Ordinance 2006-80, as shown on page _______, amending the text of the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan to enable the use of proportionate fair share funding of a transportation improvement and authorize transmittal of the proposed amendments to DCA for a finding of compliance with State law; as described in the proof of publication.

CREEKSIDE PUD MAJOR AMENDMENT

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider approval of the PUD Major Amendment and Addendum #1 to the Creekside PUD Amended and Restated Developer’s Commitment Agreement amending certain provisions as to Tracts C and D, and approval of the Revised Final Master Plan for 65.63+/- acres located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and SR 417, KB Home Orlando, LLC, received and filed.

     Ian Sikonia, Senior Planner, addressed the Board to present the request, stating the staff is recommending approval of the Major Amendment and Addendum #1 to the Amended and Restated Developer’s Commitment Agreement.  He advised the P&Z Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend approval.

     Charlie Madden, Madden Engineering, representing KB Home, addressed the Board to state they are in agreement with the staff recommendation.

     Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. Madden stated the units gained five feet in depth.  The living space is projected to be around 1800 square feet with approval of this request.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLean, Mr. Madden said this change is market-driven and by adding square footage, more valuable units will be built and that adds to the ad valorem.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide asked if staff was happy with the sidewalks and all the issues.

     Commissioner Carey said staff has said the landscape buffer and landscaping is not changing.  Everything is still as is.  The request is for a one-foot change on the boundary setbacks and five feet on the building setbacks. 

     Mr. Madden said the concerns regarding sidewalks and accessing the parking garages brought up for previous projects were addressed in this project.

     District Commissioner Carey stated she has reviewed the project and site plan and she does not have any problem with the request being made.

     No one spoke in support or in opposition.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve the PUD Major Amendment and Addendum #1, as shown on page _______, to the Creekside PUD Amended and Restated Developer’s Commitment Agreement amending certain provisions as to Tracts C and D, and approval of the Revised Final Master Plan; and Development Order, as shown on page _______, for 65.63+/- acres located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and SR 417; as described in the proof of publication, KB Home Orlando, LLC; and authorize the Chairman to execute the aforementioned documents.

     Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

     Chairman Henley recessed the meeting at 2:12 p.m. and reconvened it at 2:18 p.m.

AMENDMENTS TO LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider adopting an Ordinance amending existing provisions of the Land Development Code (LDC) and adopting new provisions to the LDC to implement the requirements of the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act, received and filed.

     Tony Matthews, Principal Planner, addressed the Board to present the request, stating staff is recommending approval of the Ordinance, with changes, and based on the staff findings.  He advised the Land Planning Agency (LPA) recommended the ordinance by a vote of 5 to 0 with the changes.  He referred to a copy of the ordinance provided (received and filed) and reviewed the changes as follows:  page 9, grammatical error correction made; pages 12 and 13, deletion of reference to Sec. 30.1115(e)23 as it is not a part of the ordinance; and page 14, language is being added to Sec. 30.1111(b); and page 10, deletion of reference to Sec. 30.1115.  He advised that the minutes (copy received and filed) of the LPA meeting held on December 6, 2006, have also been provided for the Board’s information.  Mr. Matthews stated he has notified approximately 27 local government agencies, persons and organizations about the public hearing on the amendments and did not receive any comments.  He said he did have a couple questions and he answered those.

     Commissioner Carey said one of the things that has an impact on a lot of the waterways is fertilizers and one of her questions was what will they do to deal with the people who are already living along the river.  She said she supports the staff recommendation, but she is strongly encouraging having some type of educational campaign through the Waterwise Group or the Seminole Soil & Water Group to work with the people who actually live along the river and are fertilizing down to the water’s edge.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide said if they can convince people to put up berms along the water’s edge, that would help to solve a lot of the problem.

     Mr. Matthews said staff is in contact with the University of Florida and hopefully they will provide some good information for future development.  He will ask if they know of some grant money or programs that staff is not aware of.

     Commissioner Carey said she thinks others have looked to various grants from the Department of Environmental Protection to take out the grass and put in native plants that don’t require fertilizers.

     No one spoke in support or in opposition.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner McLean, to adopt Ordinance #2006-85, as shown on page _______, amending existing provisions of the Land Development Code (LDC) and adopting new provisions to the LDC to implement the requirements of the Wekiva Parkway and Protection Act; as described in the proof of publication, with staff findings.

     Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

     Commissioner Carey asked Ms. Coto to have staff come back with some kind of educational campaign for those living along the water bodies.

REZONE FROM C-2 TO PUD/SPARTAN

17-92, LLC

 

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider request to rezone 1.03+/- acres, located on the northeast corner of U.S. 17-92 and Spartan Drive, from C-2 (Retail Commercial) to PUD (Planned Unit Development), and approve Preliminary Master Plan and Development Order, Spartan 17-92, LLC, received and filed.

     Michael Rumer, Senior Planner, addressed the Board to present the request, stating the P&Z voted 5 to 0 to recommend approval and staff is recommending approval conditioned upon the Development Order.

     Commissioner McLean advised that in his previous employ, he has been involved with circumstances where they had situations and arbitrarily reduced the number of parking spaces and sizes of the parking spaces, and none of those went well.  He cautioned the Board to take a strong look at that because that could be an area they could get into some issues.

     Commissioner Carey explained in redevelopment you are dealing with lots that, when they were platted, did not have to meet all the requirements for parking spaces and on-site retention that are required now.  She said particularly along 17-92, they have to make certain concessions in order to redevelop it. 

     Mr. Rumer advised that in this project, the perimeter parking spaces will have 2’ overhang with the landscaping design, so not all the spaces will be 9’ x 18’.

     Commissioner McLean reiterated that he has just seen too many scenarios where they have backed off the standards and afterwards they have definitive parking issues; particularly when they didn’t know what occupations would go into the center.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide said the 17-92 properties have to compensate for retention ponds and things they didn’t have originally, which is one of the problems they have in redeveloping 17-92.  He said to make it all work, some concessions will have to be made.  However, he agrees that going to smaller parking spaces is a problem. 

     Chairman Henley stated this is not the first time they have allowed the 9’ x 18’ parking.  He said at the same time, in this particular corridor, they are going to be faced with some real challenges in order to get it developed.  The P&Z, on several occasions, indicated that the BCC needs to be more sensitive to the situations that exist there.  He said the parking will be looked at when specific types of business come in; and if there is no parking, that won’t be an advantage to the business anyway.  He added that knowing what has been on and off this property for the last several years, this project will be an improvement.  He stated Commissioner McLean did make a good point that the Board needs to be sensitive.

     Commissioner McLean said outside the parking, the applicant is looking to increase the height from 35’ to 52’, so there is some concession.  He said he is just cautious about scenarios like this.

     Commissioner Carey stated one of the reasons for the height in this particular case is a tower that will be used for the mechanical equipment.  She explained that the Board just went through and did some major height allowances all along 17-92, because they know to get it redeveloped, they have to make it financially feasible.

     Chairman Henley advised that there has been a great deal of discussion at MetroPlan and through myRegion.org that on the transportation corridors, they are going to have to be more flexible in allowing even more density and height.  He said in every instance, the track record has been that corridors have developed quite a bit around the commuter rail stations.  He said he thinks the good will outweigh the bad in this instance.

     Mark Mezarella (phonetic), one of the owners of the proposed site, addressed the Board to state they did originally have the 10’ x 20’ parking spaces and it was because of the retention requirements that they went to the 9’ spaces.  He advised that the outer perimeter of all the spaces have the overhang to allow the 20’ spaces.  Also, they have maintained the full aisle width in the lanes to maximize the most ability for the cars to pull into the narrower spaces.  He showed a rendering (received and filed) of what is being proposed, and said the upper level is 52’ and that is for all the mechanical equipment.  He explained they didn’t want to put any of the mechanical equipment or compressors on the ground since they abut a residential area.  He stated the main building height is 42’, and they are trying to maintain that as close to 35’ as they can.  He advised they have excluded certain businesses in trying to improve the area.

     District Commissioner Henley stated the Board will look forward to the type structure showed in the rendering. 

     No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

     Commissioner Henley said he supports the staff recommendation.

     Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to approve request to rezone, thereby adopting Ordinance #2006-86, as shown on page _______, rezoning from C-2 (Retail Commercial) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) 1.03+/- acres located on the northeast corner of U.S. 17-92 and Spartan Drive; and approve the Preliminary Master Plan and Development Order, as shown on page _______, and authorize the Chairman to execute the documents; as described in the proof of publication, Spartan 17-92, LLC, based on staff findings.

     Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

HEATHROW DRI/PUD/JOE DOBOSH,

HEATHROW LAND COMPANY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

 

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider approval of the Second Amended and Restated Development Order for the Heathrow Development of Regional Impact with the finding that the Notice of Proposed Change does not constitute a substantial deviation; approval of the Heathrow PUD Major Amendment rezoning from PUD to PUD; and approval of the Third Amended Developer’s Commitment Agreement for 1,495.2+/- acres located on the north side of Lake Mary Boulevard, approximately bounded by Markham Road, Markham Woods Road, Orange Boulevard and Heathrow International Parkway, Joe Dobosh/Heathrow Land Company Limited Partnership, received and filed.

     Mr. Rumer presented the request, reviewing the proposed Major Amendment changes to the Heathrow PUD and proposed changes to the DRI Development Order.  He advised the P&Z Commission voted to recommend approval of the request.  The East Central Florida Regional Planning Council issued a letter stating the proposed changes to the Heathrow DRI do not result in the automatic substantial deviation determination pursuant to the Florida Statutes.  He submitted a letter (received and filed) dated December 11, 2006, from the Florida DCA stating no objection to the Heathrow DRI.  He also submitted an e-mail (received and filed) from County Engineer Jerry McCollum, commenting on the relocation of the Barclay Place entrance stating the separation is fine and the stacking of the cars is not an issue at this point and will be determined at the next phase.

     Dana Boyt, CPH Engineers, addressed the Board to state they agree with the staff report and are asking for approval.  She advised that she and others were present to answer any questions.

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Boyt stated she knows it is the intention of the developer to try to save the mature trees on the lot. 

     Joe Dobosh, Senior Vice President of Heathrow Land Company, addressed the Board to state they have done an actual survey of the existing conditions.  He said they have sent an arborist to look at all the trees and conditions.  He advised he will not be able to save the clump of trees closest to the water, but he will be saving those along the border and property lines.  He stated he will be replacing the trees with 6” and 8” caliper trees.  He advised Chairman Henley that the ratio will be about 6 to 1 for replacements.  He further advised Commissioner Carey that with the modification, he is actually reducing the number of units approved in the DRI.

     Ms. Boyt corrected, for the Record, that the actual acreage in the Commitments, Classification document should be 1,493 instead of 1,495.

     Mr. Dobosh stated, for the Record, that they are not ignoring Barclay Place.  He said they are trying to work with them on giving them another entrance at the developer’s expense, but that has not been accepted yet.  He stated one of the concerns of the closing of the existing racquet club entrance is the new development coming in across the street at L&L Acres.  He explained that the residents coming out of Barclay Place will be able to go left or right. 

     Chairman Henley advised a Written Comment Form (received and filed) from Barbara Moceri in opposition was submitted to the Record.

     Geoff Wilcock, 1564 Farrindon Circle, addressed the Board to ask that they not force them to lose the pleasures they have enjoyed (including the quiet, peace and wildlife) living in Barclay Place, and he urged the Board to deny the change.

     Allan Schipper, 1437 Farrindon Circle, addressed the Board to state that after meeting with the Heathrow Development organization, he understands they will be impacting the lakes that the residents drive past, as part of the ability to make a new entrance for Barclay Place.  So the aesthetic value of the waterfront property will be impacted negatively.  He advised they also see eagles from time to time on the property.  Additionally, he said at the last meeting with Heathrow, the residents were advised they needed to come to a decision on their offer, yet there were many details that had not been worked out.  He said there are a lot of unanswered questions.  He said he opposes this until he understands more of what the impact is to Barclay Place.  He stated that since they have been there since 1988, he thinks they deserve some consideration. 

     Blaine Darrah, 1624 Cherry Ridge Drive, Heathrow Government Affairs Chairman, representing the Heathrow Master Board and Homeowners Association, addressed the Board to state they are fully in support of the proposed amendment as provided by Heathrow Land Company.  He explained that they reached an agreement with the developer to have 57 new homes become part of Heathrow and have access through the main gate, which will eliminate the traffic flow onto Heathrow Blvd. for Tournament Drive.  This new neighborhood will maintain the streets, lights and common areas within that development and then have access to the rest of Heathrow. 

     Mr. Darrah said the residents of Heathrow thank the County and the Public Works Department for a wonderful job of creating turn lanes on Rhinehart Road at SR 46A and getting that done before mid-November.

     Jon Mead, 1434 Farridon Circle, President of the Barclay Place at Heathrow Condominium Association, addressed the Board to state their Board is opposed to the redevelopment of the athletic track recreation area that currently consists of 12 tennis courts, a swimming pool, a fitness center, and an aquatic center, to be redeveloped as Tract 4A consisting of 57 single-family homes.  He showed a colored map of Barclay Place (received and filed), center piece of the brochure that is given to every homeowner when they first view the property, showing the layout of Barclay Place, the tennis center, aquatic center, and fitness center.  He said they were told this would not change and it could not be rezoned as residential, commercial, or industrial of any type because it was set aside as green space and it would be that way forever.  He said he is not opposed to new development or redevelopment of blighted areas, but that is not the case with this rezoning request.  This request is to redevelop a recreation area surrounded by about 200 homes with over 500 residents that purchased their homes in part based upon the amenities available within walking distance of their homes and the wildlife sanctuary with eagles, storks, herons, cranes and occasionally Black Bears and their cubs.  He showed a drawing of the plan of the 57 single-family to replace the green space and said it is quite a change and not insignificant by any means.  He said he can appreciate the developer’s need to maximize the profit potential of his investment, but to do so at the expense of the entire community that has been established for over 18 years is not fair.  He reported that the Barclay Board of Directors met twice with the Heathrow Land Company.  The meetings did not result in resolution of any issues with the project.  The only correspondence received by the owners from Heathrow Land Company was dated November 27, 2006, and it only offered an alternative to the existing entrance.  He read from an article in the Orlando Sentinel stating that, “if unchanged, Florida’s long-standing style of growth and the government rules that control development will ruin the State’s quality of life just halfway through this century.”  He requested the Board deny this major amendment to the Heathrow PUD.

     Chairman Henley advised for information that several members of the BCC have been working with myRegion.org, MetroPlan and the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, so they are well aware of the issues on growth.  He encouraged Mr. Mead to go to myRegion.org web site and go to the meetings to participate in the issues on growth.

     Deborah Bracknell, 1543 Barclay Place, addressed the Board to state she opposes this project from a development standpoint.  She said what the developer is proposing would significantly change their landscape.  She said in their community they have a Bald Eagle, Black Bears, and a family of hawks.  What concerns her about the wildlife is that the humans are encroaching further into their areas and forcing them to encroach further into human areas.  She said that could be a real danger to the residents and their pets.  Regarding the development, she was surprised to learn that there are no plans to provide a buffer zone for the residents between the homes that will be built and the homes that are currently in Barclay Place.  She said their residents will be looking into the back yards of the other residents, and she finds that unacceptable.  She thinks the development is such a significant change and so severely impacts nature and the safety of the people that she thinks the BCC should oppose it.  Also of concern is that the developer is not building a separate construction entrance.  She said although it was represented that they would be eliminating traffic flow in the area because of the back gate of Heathrow not being open, that is not correct.  She stated they have 148 units generating 1.6 cars each coming in and out of the entrance and they are going to be sharing that with construction vehicles.  That is a real problem and real safety issue, not only for the residents but for people traveling down Lake Mary Boulevard trying to get to Markham Woods Road.  She suggested the razing of the racquet club is her primary concern because they will be living alongside rubble for approximately six months to one year.  She said what that will do to their housing values alone should force the Commission to take notice and hesitate to approve this planned change.

     Ms. Boyt gave rebuttal comments, stating this is a PUD and they are well below their approved units.  She said it is quality PUD with large lots and landscaping, and this project will continue to enhance Heathrow.  The proposed entrance the developer is wishing to do will improve the situation at Barclay Place by allowing them to have a turn-around and increase the landscaping at the developer’s expense although they are not part of the master association.  Further, she said if the entrance is changed, the pond will be bigger.  As far as the wildlife, she thinks everyone wants to maintain the character of the PUD.

     Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. Dobosh advised the DRI is approved for 3,618 units and they have developed to date 1,956 units.  He pointed out on an aerial the existing roadway to the guardhouse for Barclay where there is no turn-around, and said they tried to give the residents a special entrance of their own with signage, also giving them their own security and privacy.  The County was happy about that for emergency situations.  He said the lake will be expanded.  He said the slope of the lake would be shortened, but the lake itself would be larger and they will put in more vegetation.  He indicated the other lake, an island lake, is very highly attractive to the vegetation and animal life.  He said that lake is not going to change.  He stated they tried to bring the proper, desired development for this particular piece of land. 

     Upon further inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. Dobosh stated they will put wetland vegetation around the lake and that could be made a part of the stipulation. 

     Mr. Dobosh answered questions by Commissioner Carey on the setbacks for Lots 14 through 22.  He advised he is planning to leave the green, vinyl chain link fence that is already on the Heathrow property.

     No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

     Speaker Request Forms and the Written Comment Form were received and filed.

     Several map exhibits for Heathrow were received and filed.

     District Commissioner Carey stated she has received a lot of correspondence from the residents at Barclay Place and she knows what some of their concerns are that include the entrance and that there will houses coming in.  She said she remembers when there was nothing on the property and when the community didn’t want Heathrow coming in but that has made a huge difference to the entire community.  She said the fact this is a PUD means things will change.  Since the developer is not increasing the home sites and they are well under their threshold for this DRI, she thinks the proposed community of 57 lots is smaller than the other PODS developed in Heathrow and would be a good addition.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to approve the Second Amended and Restated Development Order, as shown on page _______, for the Heathrow Development of Regional Impact (DRI) with the finding that the Notice of Proposed Change does not constitute a substantial deviation; approve the Heathrow PUD Major Amendment, Ordinance #2006-87, as shown on page _______, rezoning from PUD to PUD; and approve the Third Amended Developer’s Commitment Agreement, as shown on page _______, for 1,493.2+/- acres located on the north side of Lake Mary Boulevard, approximately bounded by Markham Road, Markham Woods Road, Orange Boulevard and Heathrow International Parkway; and authorize the Chairman to execute the aforementioned documents; as described in the proof of publication, Joe Dobosh/Heathrow Land Company Limited Partnership, based on staff findings and additional comments by the Board of County Commissioners.

     Under discussion, Commissioner McLean stated the Board will be looking at the buffering as much as they can, as he thinks that will be real important in this case.  He said he realizes there are already things there to buffer, but if there is a way to fortify that, that will help the concerns of some of the residents in Barclay Place.

     Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE TAX ORDINANCE

     Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider adoption of an Ordinance amending the Occupational License Tax Ordinance and approval of related Interlocal Agreements, received and filed.

     Lisa Spriggs, Fiscal Services Director, addressed the Board to present the request for the amendment in accordance with State law change. 

     No one spoke in support or in opposition.

     Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to adopt Ordinance #2006-88, as shown on page _______, amending Chapter 45, Part I of the Seminole County Code; changing the term occupational license tax to local business tax and revising all references relating to issuance of an occupational license to issuance of a business tax receipt upon payment of the local business tax; and approval of related Interlocal Agreement with the city of Winter Springs, as shown on page _______, and Interlocal Agreement with the city of Oviedo, as shown on page _______; as described in the proof of publication, with the Chairman to execute same.

     Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

     Chairman Henley advised there have been several complaints regarding the mulching operation just past Milwee Middle School on Ronald Reagan Boulevard.  Staff has looked at this on several occasions, but it continues with dust from the mulching being blown all over the neighbors.  He has passed this on to the County Manager for her to handle.

-----

     Chairman Henley stated he had several conversations with John Saboor of the Central Florida Sports Commission after the commotion made of the salary of the leader at that time, who is no longer there.  Then, a leader was appointed to represent Seminole County but the BCC had no input in that.  As a result, Chairman Henley said he called for a meeting with Mr. Saboor and asked that he bring a copy of their by-laws.  He said the Sports Commission doesn’t normally appoint without consulting members of the BCC.  After looking at the Constitution and the By-laws, it became aware to him that once every past president leaves office, he becomes a member of the CFS Commission Board.  Chairman Henley said he was outspoken that there were no elected officials on their Board and they had not allowed Seminole County to have input.  As a result, the CFS Board met December 8 and made extensive changes to their by-laws and have terminated all past presidents from the Board.  A number of the funding partners will have the opportunity to appoint new members; however, Seminole County will not as the vacancy was just filled and there was not a past president on the Board from Seminole County.  Chairman Henley reported on the membership of the Board totaling 15. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLean, Ms. Coto advised that with the changes to the Sports Commission by-laws, there is no funding partner in Seminole County other than the BCC.  She explained Mr. Saboor called her and explained the cities had made the determination that the funding partner would just be the County. 

-----

     Chairman Henley stated he and Ms. Coto met yesterday with the Mayors/Managers Group and had the opportunity to see the PowerPoint presentation by Phil Warren (which he hopes to be able to bring to the BCC).  He said they are launching a massive public relations campaign regarding their work.  The group is hoping there can be some pacts with the various cities and counties and they can agree to a regional approach as opposed to each city and the county trying to move on its own. 

     Ms. Coto stated the group is planning a forum with the mayors and is looking at modifying the Leadership Council to include representation of mayors from each of the counties to get greater volume as they try to move forward and determine how the region will grow in a more collaborative method.

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS

 

     Chairman Henley advised there are a number of committees with positions that sunset in January and the Commissioners need to begin moving to fill those positions.  He recommended the following appointment/reappointments:  reappoint Erica Kosares to the Disability Advisory Board for a two-year term ending January, 2009; reappoint Lillian Griffin to the Historical Commission for a two-year term ending January, 2009; reappoint Barbara Whittier to the Natural Lands Committee for a two-year term ending January, 2009; reappoint George Dawkins and Joe Sarnovsky to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for one-year terms ending January, 2008; reappoint Mack McReynolds to the Seminole County Industrial Development Authority for a four-year term ending January, 2011; and appoint Bob Herring to the Contractor Examiners Board (Electrical Contractor position) for a one-year term ending January, 2008.

     Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to make the appointment/reappointments listed above as recommended by Chairman Henley.

     Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

     Chairman Henley stated he has received several applications in his office and will keep those and make copies available to the Commissioners for future reference for appointments.

-------

     Commissioner McLean expressed thanks to the Board for welcoming him.  He distributed copies of a letter (copy received and filed in Submissions) from Carla Wilson.  He said his point is to have the Board review the letter and see what avenues they want to take.  He also said he believes Commissioner Van Der Weide received a letter (not received and filed) from Peggy Decker discussing the same issue.

     Carla Wilson, 702 Heather Lane, addressed the Board to state she recently wrote to the Commissioners expressing her concern about a petting zoo that was at the Hometown Harvest Celebration on October 7 in Winter Springs.  She said e-coli sickness can result from petting zoos.  In the information she provided, there is an article about a two-year-old girl who attended a petting zoo in North Carolina and got sick.  She said this isn’t the only incident and she provided a fact sheet that lists cases of e-coli outbreaks and sicknesses in children caused by petting zoos nationwide each year.  She said she feels there are many other forms of entertainment that can be provided to children that do not include animals and the risks involved in having animals.  She reviewed some of the alternatives from a list provided.  She stated after attending the celebration, she took this matter to the Winter Springs Commission, where expert Lowell Brown confirmed their concerns about the diseases associated with petting zoos.  However, the Commission did not put a policy in place to ban the petting zoos.  She asked the Commission to review the information she has provided and consider adopting a policy that would ban petting zoos from Seminole County events and festivals.  She said Dr. Brown gave a very good and thorough presentation to the Winter Springs Commission.  She suggested the Board contact him since he is an expert on this issue.

     Chairman Henley thanked Ms. Wilson for her input and said the Board will determine later after Commissioner McLean’s report what direction the Board might wish to give at this time.

     Commissioner McLean stated he knows County staff has been looking into what Seminole County’s Health Department and the Department of Agriculture, along with the Florida Department of Health, concludes.  They have been conducting a joint investigation of these reported cases in Central Florida.  He suggested the Board allow the professionals to review this and have staff report back to the Board with some conclusions and options they can review to see if a formal policy might make sense, or see if there are other avenues the Board can go in to deal with this situation. 

     The Board, by consensus, had no objections to Commissioner McLean’s suggestion.

     Chairman Henley asked Ms. Coto to follow through on that for the Board.

-----

     Commissioner McLean said recently the city of Lake Mary had a presentation on the trials and tribulations of St. Cloud, Florida, when they went through their conversion to be a Wi/Fi city.  He suggested having St. Cloud Mayor Glen San Giovanni on the January 23, 2007, BCC agenda to give a presentation and the Board can decide if this is something they want to review. 

     DCM Don Fisher addressed the Board to state that through various Board meetings and budget work sessions, Wi/Fi has been discussed quite heavily, and Commissioner Dallari took an interest in it.  At the budget work sessions, the Board made it a priority for the County.  Staff presented an implementation plan to first do County facilities before doing something on a grander scale.  He said he shared with Commissioner McLean that Seminole County is not financially ready to implement this countywide, but this would be a good beginning point for that. 

     Commissioner Carey said at the Florida Association of Counties, there has been extensive discussion from the counties that have looked into this.  It is quite costly for a county versus a city because there is a much larger area to cover.

     Commissioner McLean said his thought was that St. Cloud was a situation where they went from A to Z.  Whether or not they get involved with this tomorrow or never, this is good information for the Board to consider. 

     Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. Fisher advised what is covered now besides the County Services Building.  He said he could find out for Chairman Henley how many schools are involved.  He further advised Commissioner Van Der Weide that there is a plan to implement Wi/Fi in all the libraries, but he would have to report back on the status.

     Chairman Henley stated he did not have a problem with scheduling a presentation by Mayor San Giovanni as long as there is room on the January 23 agenda and, if no room, it can be set for the next agenda.  He asked Ms. Coto to handle scheduling the presentation.

-----

     Commissioner McLean said recently the Board dealt with the latest allocation to United Arts of Central Florida including the Helen Stairs Theatre.  He has a copy of the letter (received and filed) from Helen Stairs, President, and Beverly Winesburgh, past President of the Board, regarding the allocation of $25,000 for the purpose of the summer movie program.  He explained he sits on the Board for the Theatre and they are faced with some issues such as termites, bat infestation, flooding, and sewer backups.  These problems need to be taken care of today as opposed to having the movie program next summer.  He asked if the BCC could consider for the January 9 Consent Agenda the request to use those dollars already allocated for infrastructure purposes needed immediately as opposed to the movie program.

     Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Commissioner McLean said the city of Sanford is considering a $25,000 contribution; however, they are not sure if those dollars have to be spent on things like royalties and programs.  It appears the money cannot be spent on infrastructure.

     Chairman Henley explained that the BCC has been a heavy supporter of the Helen Stairs Theatre.  He asked if the BCC were to allow this money to be diverted, will the Theatre Board come back and ask for $25,000 for the summer program.  Commissioner McLean stated he would say the answer is no.  He said they have come to the conclusion that they have to be focused on their mission.  Although the movie program was a good idea in concept, some of the members of the Board have the opinion that it is diverting from the primary mission of the theatre. 

     Commissioner Van Der Weide said the BCC has sunk a fortune into this theatre already and, at this point, to switch the funding of $25,000 may be prudent on their part or the previous investments by the Board may “go down the drain.”

     Commissioner Carey said she understands that the Densch organization is willing to continue with the commitment to match the funds if the BCC would be willing to redesignate the allocation to cover the historic preservations.  She said she discussed with the Theatre Board that they should call Mr. Massey for the termites and bat infestation because he is a big proponent of the Theatre.  She said she is planning to call him and get help with that situation.  She said she thinks the Theater is in a situation now where they have depleted their cash trying to deal with these emergencies.  If the BCC is inclined to reallocate the $25,000, they don’t have to wait for the January 9 meeting, but the BCC has the ability to do that now. 

     Chairman Henley said he doesn’t want the Theatre Board to come back in the middle of the summer and ask for money, because the BCC is trying to establish a process of allocating money and every time they start dealing with individual requests, they deviate from the timetable when they compare all agencies and establish priorities.

     Ms. Coto stated she is not familiar with the agreement and she would have to go back and verify the allocation and can reallocate that if the BCC wishes.

     Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to change the allocation of the $25,000 commitment to the Helen Stairs Theatre to move from the summer movie program to operational and infrastructural concerns.

     Under discussion, Commissioner Carey explained the Theatre Board took money from wherever they could, and part of that came from the operational cash fund, to attempt to correct some things.  They are now trying to recoup that money so they can continue to operate the theatre.

     Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

-----

     Commissioner McLean stated he had a request from Mayor Bush, city of Winter Springs, regarding the four flag poles on the trail bridge that crosses SR 434 in Winter Springs.  Mayor Bush has suggested the County use the flag poles to put up an American flag, State flag, County flag, and a city of Winter Springs flag. 

     Chairman Henley stated he had received a letter also and spoke with Ms. Coto regarding that.  He and Ms. Coto had several concerns.  He said Ms. Coto was going to contact Mayor Bush about some of those concerns.

     Ms. Coto said she will bring back under her report at the January 9, 2007, meeting whatever information she obtains.

-----

     Motion by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to appoint/reappoint the following:  reappoint Jack Vaughan and Jim Hunter to the Agriculture Advisory Committee for two-year terms ending January, 2009; appoint Barbara Woodall to the Animal Control Board for a one-year term ending January, 2008; adopt appropriate Resolution #2006-R-277, as shown on page _______, of appreciation to Debra Garrambone-McMenemy for her service on the Animal Control Board; reappoint Tom Hagood to the Code Enforcement Board for a three-year term ending January, 2010; reappoint Rose Davis to the Disability Advisory Board for a two-year term ending January, 2009; appoint Lynette White to the Disability Advisory Board for a two-year term ending January, 2009; adopt appropriate Resolution #2006-R-278, as shown on page _______, of appreciation to Rosalyn Guzman for her service on the Disability Advisory Board; reappoint Etta Jane Keogh and Robert Hughes to the Historical Commission for two-year terms ending January, 2009; reappoint Cecilia Height, Jeffrey Manners and Pat Burkett to the Natural Lands Committee for two-year terms ending January, 2009; reappoint Ken Holt and Paula Davoli to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for a one-year term ending January, 2008; reappoint Russ Pagano to the Seminole County Industrial Development Authority for a four-year term ending January, 2011; reappoint Tim Donihi and Lisa Giltner to the Trails and Greenways Task Force for three-year terms ending January, 2010; and appoint Bill Parrish to the Contractor Examiners Board as a Well Contractor and Toni Senader as the rotating Swimming Pool Contractor for one year terms ending January, 2008.

     Districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

-----

     Commissioner Van Der Weide said a couple people have brought an issue to him about the homestead exemption impact for the senior citizens.  He said he thinks the Board should have staff evaluate this.  He stated the citizens voted for this exemption and he’s in favor of giving it to the citizens. 

     Chairman Henley said hopefully this will come up in January at the time they do the mid-year budget and the Board will have all the information at one time.  He said he thinks they need to give serious consideration for the seniors who can qualify.  He said David Johnson, Property Appraiser, indicated to him that he didn’t think the numbers would be significant because those who obtain the age didn’t meet the economic threshold.  Chairman Henley said he was planning to put this on the agenda for January.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide gave his information to Chairman Henley to provide it to Ms. Coto. 

-----

     Commissioner Van Der Weide asked Mr. Fisher when will the Board get the first demonstration of SciNet.  Mr. Fisher stated training of the program is ongoing now and the system is being refined.  He said it might be as early as January for a demonstration.

     Commissioner Van Der Weide wished all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
