COUNTY ATTORNEY’S BRIEFING
No Report.
COUNTY MANAGER’S BRIEFING
County Manager, Cindy Coto, asked Mr.
McCollum to give an update to the Board on the proposed federal stimulus
package.
County Engineer, Jerry McCollum, addressed
the Board to advise that he attended a meeting at MetroPlan Orlando on Friday
where the federal economic stimulus package was discussed. He said it also appears that a plan will pass
the Senate and then the House and Senate will have to work out their
differences. He said it appears the way
the money will be flowing is that a certain amount will be given to each region
and then each local government (based on population) will get a split. He said he roughly estimates that between $50
million and $100 million will be coming to this region. He also estimates that Seminole County
(including all cities therein) will receive about 22% or 23%. The money must be used for projects that meet
the Federal Highway System requirements and must be obligated within 75 days
after President Obama signs the bill.
Therefore, he believes only resurfacing and bridge replacement projects
can be done with the money. He stated
that the County does have some projects on a list, but right-of-way must
already have been acquired. He added
that he will keep the Board informed on this as he receives information.
Commissioner McLean stated while he was
meeting in Tallahassee last week, the economic stimulus package was the big
topic and he heard the term “shovel ready” projects many times.
-------
Ms. Coto stated the Department of Community
Affairs has advised that the County’s EAR-based amendments are in
compliance. She added that Seminole
County has received a lot of accolades because they are the only entity in
Central Florida who did their Comp Plan in conformance with the “Compact”.
-------
Ms. Coto asked for Board direction with
regard to the BCC Executive Assistants (Memorandum from Ms. Coto to the BCC was
received & filed). She said the
staff is looking for three different actions: (1) Adoption of a resolution
amending the Administrative Code; (2) Direction of the amount of compensation
for the Lead Aide and effective date; and (3) Approval of job description.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLean, County
Attorney Robert McMillan advised the legislative branch of the County is the
Board and the executive branch is the County Manager. He said the purpose of this reorganization is
to move the BCC Aides from under the County Manager to under the BCC. He added that they are still County employees
and protected like other employees.
Upon further inquiry by Commissioner
Henley, Attorney McMillan advised that the County Manager will have no
authority over the BCC Aides. Whereupon,
Commissioner Henley stated that is a big change and, he believes, one in the
wrong direction. He said any of the
Commissioners can tell the County Manager that they do not want their aide and
she will have to find another position for them. He further said that the system was not
broken – his only concern was the evaluation process. He added that he believes this makes the
aides political employees.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated this
decision has already been made and the only thing before the Board is
clarification on the Lead Aide salary and job description.
Mr. McMillan clarified the aides are not
political employees and will not come and go with commissioners. They will have all the same rights as other
County employees and the Commissioners will have to go through the Personnel
process in order to terminate any one of them.
Commissioner Carey stated that the County’s
evaluation process is still broken for all County employees and she would like
staff to work on fixing it.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to adopt
appropriate Resolution #2009-R-29, as shown on page _______, amending the
Administrative Code, Section 2.5 “Powers, Duties & Responsibilities of
County Government”, with regard to the BCC Executive Assistants.
Districts 1, 2, 3 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Henley voted NAY.
-
- -
Discussion ensued with regard to the Lead
Aide compensation. Commissioner Carey
stated the County Manager has recommended $150 per month and she believes that
is a little low. She suggested $250 to
$300 per month.
Commissioner Van Der Weide suggested
$250.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to establish the
Lead Aide compensation at $250 per month.
Districts 1, 2, 3 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Henley voted NAY, stating he
believes the $150 per month is sufficient.
The Board agreed that the new Lead Aide compensation of $250 per month would
become effective March 1, 2009
-
- -
Motion by Commissioner
Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to approve the Job Description,
as shown on page _______, for Executive Assistants – Board of County
Commissioners.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Ms. Coto advised that House Bill 731
relating to the state-wide one cent increase in the penny tax, was filed last
Wednesday. She said she has asked the
County’s lobbyist to monitor same.
At the request of Commissioner Henley, Ms.
Coto stated staff will look into the Polk County proposal to cap at 1.5 for the
entire State.
-------
Ms. Coto gave a brief update on the Surface
Water Facility, advising staff is proceeding forward with drafting the
interlocal agreements. She said as they
have more dialogue with the partners, she will bring any issues to the
Board.
Commissioner Carey stated the transmission
issue is going to be a critical piece of this.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Ms.
Coto advised staff is working with the Federal lobbyist to see if the County
can secure Federal funds for this project.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
At the request of Chairman Dallari,
Planning & Development Director Dori DeBord addressed the Board to advise
staff met with representatives from the Agricultural Advisory Board and Barbara
Hughes to look at ways to bring signage back in the Rural Area. She said staff will be bringing back some
ideas to the advisory board on February 20.
-------
Chairman Dallari stated that he spoke with
Chairman Bruno from Volusia County last week at the Regional Leaders meeting
and he believes it would be beneficial to schedule a joint work session between
Seminole and Volusia.
Commissioner Henley stated he believes it
is important to outline an agenda for the meeting.
The Chairman said he will speak with the
County Manager who will check each Commissioner’s calendar before scheduling
the work session.
-------
The Chairman nominated Keith Wiseman as the
Sheriff’s representative on the Animal Control Advisory Board.
Motion
by Commissioner Henley, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to appoint Keith
Wiseman to the Animal Control Advisory Board.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
The Chairman nominated George Wallace to
the Law Library Board.
Motion
by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to appoint George
Wallace to the Law Library Board.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Chairman Dallari advised that there is a
vacancy on the MetroPlan Citizens Advisory Board and he will be bringing back a
recommended appointment at the next BCC meeting.
-------
Chairman Dallari asked if the Board would
be agreeable to cancelling one BCC meeting in the month of July.
Commissioner Carey stated because of the
light agendas lately, she would have no problem with cancelling one meeting in
July and also looking at either cancelling the meeting after Memorial Day in
May or moving each meeting up a week.
Commissioner Henley agreed, stating the
County Manager can coordinate this with the Chairman and advise the Board of
same.
Commissioner Carey suggested they also look
at the meeting in September around Labor Day.
