Commissioner
Morris stated Ms. Groseclose is the Child Abuse Prevention coordinator and all
the Board members are greatly involved with these community agencies. He stated it is a tragedy that child and
spouse abuse is such a great incident in a County that is well-educated as this. Prevention work is the key and educating the
younger people to get them to understand what abusive behavior is and what
should not be tolerated. Ms. Groseclose
is currently working on a Kids House project through her husband’s office,
Lockheed Martin, in which they have designed a module interactive with the
school system in which the educators can be tested in one hour and get a full
exposure to the law.

Commissioner
Dan Anderson, City of

inquiry by Commissioner Morris, City Commissioner Anderson advised he has had
discussions with Chairman Henley relative to extending sidewalks across

Jerry
McCollum,
Mr.
Fisher left the meeting at this time.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, City Commissioner Anderson advised by running something
up Timacuan to get connectivity to Candyland is something they would really appreciate. The
street dead ends above
Commissioner
Morris stated he saw on the website that the Department of Transportation (DOT)
has a pay back schedule to the County for the trail system in Casselberry and
also a pay back for a couple of other trails.
Mr.
McCollum stated about 1½ years ago staff had a work shop to discuss the funding
of the trail, and the City of
Mr.
Fisher reentered the meeting at this time.
Mr.
McCollum stated there are a lot of projects going out to bid at this time and
he cannot tell the Board if they are going to have extra funds. What staff will do is try to get a better
handle on what is going on with the Riverwalk to see if that is going to happen
within the next year or two. At this time,
this project is not on any type of MetroPlan list.
Commissioner
Morris asked wouldn’t it behoove the County to take this to the Technical
Advisory Committee for the 5-year plan to get this moving along.
Mr.
McCollum stated staff will soon be making a presentation to the Pedestrian
Bicycle Advisory Committee to discuss the pedestrian overpass. He stated there is no reason why they can’t
get with the City of
Commissioner
Morris asked staff to run additional numbers from Timacuan up to Fleet
Financial to see how that will work.
City
Commissioner Anderson stated the way the City has structured this is to do it
in phases. The first round of the trail
funding has been spent and what they have done is to make sure that they are
ready when the next funding is available.
He said he feels it is a great idea taking this to the MetroPlan and he
would be happy to help out with that. He
stated they feel they have found a way of fitting a showcase trail into an
existing neighborhood.
Mr.
McMillan left the meeting at this time.
Commissioner
Cary stated she concurs with the recommendations of taking it to the MetroPlan
and to try to obtain reimbursement from the State.
City
Commissioner Anderson stated by doing it in phases, they would not have to fund
it all at one time.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, City Commissioner Anderson advised it would be
very difficult to construct it without assistance. The City is expecting to put money in this
project. He stated any monies the City
dedicates to the trail puts off another road project for a year or two. If funding doesn’t come forward for this, he
is confident that the BCC would say as long as the City is paving the road,
they will make sure that this gets done at the same time. The City will be doing landscaping and adding
benches to this project.
Mr.
McMillan reentered the meeting at this time.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he would like to congratulate the City and the City
Manager for what has taken place in the city of

Ray Hooper, Purchasing Manager, addressed the Board to present request to review proposals, Evaluation Committee’s presentation comments and presentation handouts for PS-0369-05/DRR, Architectural and Engineering Services for the John E.

He stated staff is requesting the Board to rank and authorize staff to negotiate with the top ranked firm in accordance with F.S. 287.055, the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA); and authorize the Chairman to execute the resulting agreement as prepared by the County Attorney’s office ($35,000,000 is the budget for the entire project).
Mr. McMillan submitted the Board’s business cards to each Board member to allow them to select the company they want ranked number one.
Mr. McMillan advised that all five Board members selected HKS Architects as the number one firm.
Mr. McMillan submitted the Board’s business cards to each Board member to allow them to select the company they want ranked number two.

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Carey to accept HKS Architects as the number one ranked firm, and Strollo Architects, Inc. as the number two ranked firm for PS-0369-05 Architectural and Engineering Services for the John E. Polk Correctional Facility Expansion; and authorize staff to negotiate with the top ranked firm in accordance with F.S. 287.055, the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA).
Under discussion, Commissioner Morris stated he has concerns that they may be drifting towards the issue of going to teleconference visitation versus personal visitation. He stated he feels it is wrong to go in the direction of not allowing families a personal visitation with the inmates.
Chairman Henley stated it is up to the Board if they want specific directions regarding this issue.
Commissioner Dallari stated he would like to obtain the thoughts and feelings of the Sheriff’s Office on this.
Commissioner Morris stated there seems to be a drift of this in law enforcement.
Chairman Henley stated he believes the Board would like to have an opportunity to review before final plans are completed.
Commissioner Carey stated as the process starts, she feels it would be beneficial for them to hear the pros and cons on both sides.
Chief Penny Fleming, Sheriff’s Office, addressed the Board to state they would be glad to work with the BCC and the architect. She stated presently, there are no personal contact visitations with the inmates due to security reasons. She said the visitations are not concrete, but were a part of the discussions in looking at the expansion.
Commissioner Morris stated that is where they should have more open discussions. He stated there are different levels of incarceration and the Board needs to be concerned about what is occurring to the families and what is occurring down the road. The only complaints he has heard about the jail comes from the family side.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated if it is possible to make it easier for the families to keep the personal contact, that is something that they need to keep in place.
Commissioner Carey stated she would like to hear more about this before they make a decision.
Commissioner Dallari stated he also would like to hear the pros and cons on this.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Suzy Goldman, Library and Leisure Services Director, addressed the Board to report on the major park projects and related costs. She began by displaying a PowerPoint presentation (received and filed) and reviewed the Project Categories and Active Recreation consisting of the Jetta Point property.
Commissioner Morris stated during the joint meeting with the City of Winter Springs, they discussed locating a dog park at the old landfill site.
Ms. Goldman
continued with her presentation by reviewing the
Upon inquiry
by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Goldman advised there had been some interest in
meeting spaces in that area. The closest
meeting space the County has is at the library in
Commissioner
Carey stated before they consider additional facilities on the east side, she
would like to consider
Commissioner Dallari stated he would like to look at the projects as they actually complete them.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Goldman advised $2.5 million would be the amount recommended if the Board is interested in this concept.
Commissioner Carey stated the County has a lot of properties and they need to focus on bringing the facilities up to where they are usable before they start adding additional lands.
Chairman
Henley asked if there is consensus from the Board that they need to purchase
additional property in
Commissioner Dallari stated he would like to know what the additional property is worth.
Ms. Goldman stated the property is currently not on the market.
Chairman Henley stated he is not interested in purchasing land that is not available, but if the Board wants to bring it back with an appraisal, they can do that.
Commissioner Dallari stated he would first like to know if the owner is willing to sell the property.
Commissioner Morris stated the District Commissioner could bring this back at a future date.
Commissioner Dallari stated he has no problem with that.
Ms. Goldman
continued by reviewing the Soldier’s
Chairman
Henley stated he believes the Board is in agreement on the concept. He stated they have existing programs on the
Soldier’s Creek site by doubling the amount of softball fields and adding four
new fields. From the standpoint of
attempting to avoid destroying the program, they need to look at the
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded
by Commissioner Dallari to move forward with Soldiers Creek and Jetta Point,
with the
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner Dallari asked if they are going to have a presentation from the soccer community relative to doing a partnership on the four fields at Jetta Point when these come back.
Chairman Henley stated he feels it would be appropriate if the partnership involves providing funds to assist the building. But, if they want to enter into a partnership after they are completed, then it won’t be necessary to hear them.
Commissioner Dallari stated the conversations he has had with the community indicated that they want to be true partners with the funding.
Chairman Henley requested that Commissioner Dallari provide Mr. Fisher with the name of the individual representing the soccer community so he can contact them. Commissioner Dallari stated he would be happy to meet with them.
Ms. Goldman reviewed the Upsala Landfill Site.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Goldman advised she is not aware if the other two small properties adjacent to the landfill are on the market.
Commissioner Morris asked if the program that allows them to convert landfills still exists. He also asked if Upsala is a potential brown field site; and if so, is there funding for that.
Ms. Goldman advised the Board approved a federal funding request for the reclamation of this site. The County’s grants coordinator indicated that most of these programs are geared toward economic development.
Chairman Henley stated part of it is whether it would qualify from the standpoint of economic development and that depends on how they use it. He stated their best bet is to go through the Federal lobbyist for brown field projects.
Ms. Goldman stated it is geared towards private ownership and not public ownership. Staff is asking PBS&J to address that in a feasibility study to make sure they have all the information they need.
Commissioner Morris stated the other option is to use solid waste funding to take care of the reclamation.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Goldman advised the reports on the findings of contamination should be available in early May.
Chairman Henley asked the Acting County Manager to research to see how much funding is available from the Solid Waste funds.
Commissioner Morris stated he feels the brown field project sites need to be explored deeper.
Chairman Henley stated he would like staff to explore the possibility of whether or not the two small sites are available and if so, how much.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he feels there are a lot of unexplored areas relative to brown fields and they need to tap all the resources.
Mr. Fisher stated one thing that is important deals with the phase two environmental study that is being done. They need to get the report back from PBS&J to determine how they can approach various grants, how aggressive they can be, and how much property they are talking about.
Commissioner Carey stated she feels the feasibility study should include the financial analysis of how they can find some funds. There are financial experts who have done ground filled redevelopment.
Chairman Henley stated staff can bring back some recommendations at the next meeting.
Ms. Goldman continued by reviewing Other Possible Improvements at Sanlando Park, Red Bug Lake Park and Sylvan Lake Park.
Chairman Henley stated he would like staff to give the Board a cost estimate on each of the possible improvements and prioritize them. He stated he sees this as a multi-year plan and if they feel that these are the things they want to do to improve it, they might be able to come up with a 5-year plan.
Commissioner Carey stated these facilities are being used and some of the facilities haven’t been brought up to standard. Therefore, she would like to see a 5-year capital improvement plan for parks.
Commissioner Dallari asked if staff could include a needs assessment of the existing facility, i.e. Red Bug Lake Park courts, how often are they used, and are the tennis courts really needed.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Goldman advised the six courts at Red Bug Lake Park would not be located where they currently have playing fields.
Commissioner
Morris stated there is no room for parking at Red Bug Lake Park. He stated he doesn’t think they need to add
more stuff to Red Rug; and would rather see
Joe Gasparini, Parks & Recreation, addressed the Board to state there is a maintenance area in the back of the courts at Red Bug Park that they can put six courts in without a lot of impact. Discussion ensued.
Chairman Henley requested staff to go ahead and prioritize these and give the Board an estimate. He also asked staff to look to see if they can add tennis courts elsewhere.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Gasparini advised the tennis courts are resurfaced every four years.
Chairman Henley stated the direction of the Board was to prioritize the possible improvements along with the cost estimate and bring that back to the Board at a later date.
Ms. Goldman
reviewed the Passive Recreation for
Upon inquiry
by Chairman Henley, Ms. Goldman advised she doesn’t believe there are other
buildings in the stretch of land along the 10 mile stretch of the
Commissioner
Carey stated she spoke with Senator Martinez’s representative and he encouraged
her to try to put this project on the Federal funding list. She stated she would be happy to lobby the
Federal people to help fund this. She
said the firefighters are planning to adopt a spot from
Commissioner Dallari stated he knows this area has a lot of environmentally sensitive lands and he would like to know what would be the affect on the river of 160 persons being there at one time.
Ms. Goldman stated it was not anticipated that it would be used at the maximum level more than two or three days a week.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to authorize the Wilson Landing project be placed on the Federal funding list.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Carey stated the other request is that this be placed in the top three priorities
of the parks that they are reviewing (Jetta Point, Soldier’s Creek,
Commissioner Dallari stated he would like to see staff’s priority list first, and then rank and adopt the list when it comes back to the Board.
Chairman Henley requested that Mr. Fisher look at the available resources as well as look at whether there are available funds for the other properties. He stated he feels it would be appropriate to get an idea of the cost for maintenance and upkeep if they go with that type of facility.
Commissioner Carey stated another reason to move this project forward is the facility needs maintenance and rather than spending that money and then renovating the facility, it would make more sense to do it all at one time.
Commissioner Morris stated he thought they approved the funds to secure the house.
Ms. Goldman stated there was a hold placed on the additional work until there was a decision made.
Mr. Fisher stated the site is secure and the roof is tarped.
Ms. Goldman stated
they will eventually need to make some repairs.
She continued her presentation by reviewing the Boating Improvements
relative to Waterway Signage and Restrooms at Boat Ramps. She displayed and reviewed a map showing the
locations of the boat ramps and the cost of installing restrooms at the Cameron
Wight, C.S. Lee,
Commissioner
Morris stated the Board had extensive discussions on the
Chairman Henley requested staff to prioritize the restrooms at the boat ramps and come back with a funding plan.
Ms. Goldman
concluded her presentation by reviewing the Equestrian survey and the Beautification
Efforts at the Boat Ramps and

Chairman Henley stated that has not yet been done. He stated he would like to know what is the status of purchasing the properties that the Board authorized along 17-92.
Ms. Lung advised staff is negotiating with the owners of Auto World. Staff has made initial contact with the owners of All State Insurance. She stated Auto World has authorized the County to obtain an environmental study and they are in the process of getting a purchase order.

received and filed) on the history of the HIP-TI.
Commissioner
Carey asked in the proposal for small area studies, what would that do to any
projects currently coming through or about to come through that are mixed use
in nature or Class A office. Mr. Matthys
stated he thinks the ones already in the process will remain going forward. The other ones coming on line in the near
future, he thinks will be part of the overall process.
Upon
Commissioner Morris’s inquiry about the recommendation for two small area
studies, Mr. Matthys said he would like to go as far south as Lake Mary
Boulevard and as far north as the County line and maybe on the other side of
I-4. He said it is up to the Board’s
direction about the scope.
Whereupon,
Commissioner Morris said for staff to bring back the scope at the same time
they bring back the RFP and do it all at one time.
Mr.
Fisher said six to nine months would be the approximate time. Mr. Matthys said six months for a small area
study and probably a year for a full grown study.
Commissioner
Carey said Lake Mary Boulevard up to SR 46A is pretty much already designated
and since that has already been planned and a lot of the projects are already
moving forward, it doesn’t make much sense to look at that. They have other areas they don’t want to
undertake since most of that is going to end up being in the city. She would want staff to take the cities under
advisement.
Commissioner
Morris said additionally, in 30 to 60 days the 17-92 Committee will be bringing
to the CRA a report that will probably show a whole new analysis. Relative to the 417 corridor, the Board met
with Winter Springs about incorporating the airport on the innovative way
north. He said Commissioner Carey is
correct that the bulk of
Commissioner
Carey said she would like to focus on the areas they need to study and what
pieces are left of that, and what portion of that they need to mix up.
Chairman
Henley summarized he hears a desire to more clearly define the area and a
desire for a RFP.
Commissioner
Carey said she would like to see a small area study done in the HIP-TI because
she doesn’t think it has worked necessarily the way the previous Board thought
it was going to work. She would like to
see it defined a little better as to what staff is going to look at. She doesn’t think they should do that part of
the east side of I-4 along SR 46 without the city of

George
Kozmac, Seminole County School Board, addressed the Board to state last month
the BCC requested the School Board to go back and take a look at the projects
that would impact school capacity that are in the pipeline. He submitted copies of PowerPoint documents
(not received and filed) to the Board and reviewed this information, explaining
the steps they took. He discussed the
capacity at the elementary, middle, and high schools and discussed the approved
projects that will generate new students.
He also discussed team teaching and class size amendment with the
Board.

REZONE
FROM A-1 TO PUD/MORRISON HOMES, Continued
Continuation
of a public hearing from February 28 and March 14, 2006 to consider request to
rezone approximately 55.94 acres located on the south side of Wilson Road and
east of International Parkway a/k/a Lakeshore Preserve, from A-1 (Agriculture
District) to PUD (Planned Unit Development District); as described in the proof
of publication, Morrison Homes.
Mr.
Walter stated this hearing was continued from February 28 and March 14, 2006,
and staff is here to answer any questions.
Chairman
Henley advised the hearing was continued for the Board to get a report on the
HIP-TI and give the School Board time to present their analysis as presented by
Mr. Kozmac.
Commissioner
Carey said she noticed that representatives are in the audience for Lakeshore
Preserve. She asked if they had any
comments since hearing the report from staff.
Tom
Cloud,
Chairman
Henley said that gets into a public hearing and public input portion. He said if Mr. Cloud’s presentation is in
answer to the question Commissioner Carey had, he will enter it, but another
request will have to be entered separately.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Cloud said he was representing the
applicant and the landowner.
Johnathan
Lowe (phonetic), Morrison Homes, applicant, addressed the Board to state they
will be able to address the HIP as well as the School Board issues.
Commissioner
Morris stated the Board has already heard the presentation from the applicant
regarding the HIP-TI. There was no
argument made that dealt with this particular project. He said he believes that is out of order and
he said the issue here is the School Board had new information before the BCC.
Chairman
Henley stated he understood Commissioner Carey was asking for their comments on
the HIP-TI presentation. If Mr. Cloud is
going to get into a presentation on this particular piece of property
Commissioner Morris may have a point.
Mr.
Cloud said they just spent an hour hearing about another item that is related
to their project.
Commissioner
Carey said this project was continued so the Board could hear the HIP-TI and
school report and that is the only reason she felt it was fair to hear if Mr.
Cloud had any response. The Board
continued the project based on waiting to get the information they just heard.
Commissioner
Morris said that was not entirely true, because the Board also continued the
meeting before because the Chairman was not present. He said the key argument here is the Board
heard a presentation earlier during the public hearing. When they closed the public hearing, it was
for new information that came before the Board.
That was new information on the NW school district and that may be
discussed. He said he didn’t want to
hear another whole HIP-TI presentation.
Mr.
McMillan advised the HIP-TI report the Board just had was not entered into the
record as part of this hearing so he doesn’t know how anyone would rebut it as
part of this hearing. It is not part of
the record of this hearing.
Commissioner
Carey said she thinks the Board clearly tied this project to that report.
Mr.
McMillan reiterated it was not submitted to the record at the hearing. It cannot provide grounds to defend the
denial of this should it be denied. Any
challenge to this hearing would not include it.
Commissioner
Morris stated he fears the Board is going to have another presentation of what
they had at the public hearing. They
should only be dealing with this new information. The school capacity issue came up at the
public hearing at the last time. That
new information should be discussed.
Mr.
Cloud said he had recollection of Commissioner Morris saying they had this
coming so the Board would not take any more information. He said if the Board agrees they won’t allow
their decision to be tainted in any way by a report that was presented in
another agenda item, then he doesn’t have any problem with that. He doesn’t think they need to revisit HIP-TI
because what the Board has on the record now is the staff recommendation of
approval, and their presentation on it.
He thinks the same would hold true of the school presentation, because
that was not made a part of this hearing either.
Chairman
Henley said it was information the Board received from Mr. Kozmac that may
impact the Board’s decision as to this particular item; whereas, the HIP-TI was
for the whole entire area and not specific to this item. He added that he thinks Mr. Kozmac’s comments
are pertinent.
Mr.
Cloud advised what documents (received and filed) he presented to the Board,
including two e-mails in the package of information on school concurrency,
level of service and the ability to deny a residential project in the County
based on the issue of schools, and the answer of staff is the Board can’t do
that.
Jim
Hall, Canin Associates, 500 Delaney, addressed the Board to comment to the
HIP-TI presentation made earlier.
Whereupon,
Chairman Henley stated the Board has already indicated that the HIP-TI is not
part of this item and he’s not sure the Board should be hearing a discussion on
it.
Mr.
McMillan advised if it’s not on the record and not part of this hearing, it is
neither to be used in favor or opposed to the application, then the comments on
it are not appropriate as par of this hearing.
Commissioner
Morris commented again that they are getting into new information and that is
what concerns him. He reviewed the
documents submitted to the Board by Mr. Cloud.
He said the memo dated March 6, 2006, has to do with a conversation with
non-management personnel and staff. He
stated Mr. Walter does not speak for the BCC.
Mr.
Cloud stated he is saying the Board cannot consider anything until they have a
concurrency rule. He said the County
staff indicated to them that the Board has never denied a project based on
school facilities.
Chairman
Henley and Commissioner Morris both stated Mr. Cloud had been given the wrong
information on that.
Mr.
McMillan added, how would the staff know on what grounds the Board has voted.
Mr.
Cloud said he happens to be a partner with Tom Wilks, former Orange County
Attorney who drafted the
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said it looks like they had probably better have a presentation.
Mr.
McMillan reminded the Board that this is a PUD rezoning. It is a contract zoning between the parties
and if it is denied, it can be denied on any number of reasons and does not
have to be on a single purpose, school concurrency thing. But the Board can’t deny it if they don’t
have school concurrency. He would not go
so far as to say the Board has to ignore the impacts on schools as a general
factor in any rezoning they consider, even if it is a straight zoning. He said the argument is pretending to treat
this as a straight zoning to which the applicant has a right without
consideration to the give and take that goes into negotiating a PUD agreement.
Commissioner
Carey stated her question had to do with the fact the Board has continued this
two times because of the school issue and she just thought it was only fair to
give the applicant the opportunity to address those things.
Mr.
Hall began his presentation (copy received and filed), stating he went through
Mr. Matthys’s PowerPoint presentation and he thinks the report was well done
and on target. However, he went through
it and looked at it a little different way.
He said he thinks the Board should have confidence that out to 30 years
there is an adequate supply of land to meet the Class A target industry type
office use that the Board is looking for.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Cloud said Mr. Hall’s information is being
submitted as expert testimony. He said
Mr. Hall is an AICP certified planner who has testified for over 20 years in
every court in the state of
Under
the office scenario, Mr. Hall said making the land all go office will lead to
an issue in his opinion. He thinks mixed
use is best and mixing the uses makes a lot of sense. Under the SR 46/I-4 area development pattern,
he recommended the County work with the City and look at that quadrant of
non-residential land, that is available and come up with a plan for mixed
use. Mr. Hall stated he had exhibits in
the information that are germane to the previous hearing and policies that
would support the project on this site.
Mr.
Cloud stated the question has been raised about the economic impact of
residential versus office and he has someone from Fishkind & Associates who
has looked into a comparative analysis of that.
Chairman
Henley said he didn’t think that was germane to this issue or this
project. He said he did not necessarily
want to hear a presentation.
Commissioner
Morris said specifically, there has not been an economic impact analysis done
on this site and now they are getting an attempt to get in new
information. He said the Board has not
looked at the value of each one of these individual uses.
Mr.
Cloud said the message one month ago today was that two wrongs don’t make a
right. Now a month later, nothing has
really changed. The P&Z unanimous
recommendation to approve this project is still there. The staff recommendation to approve this
under the currently existing comprehensive plan policies is still in
support. There are several rezonings that
have occurred in this land use designation for the same use. A denial, he believes, would be both legally
and morally wrong. He said the project
is consistent with past Board decisions in this same land use category. He said to the Board that to deny this use
that is perhaps the only use they can put on this property raises some legal
questions, but their “guts” should tell them it is just not fair. He believes what is fair would be to approve
this project.
Mr.
McMillan stated he has a concern about the record. Mr. Cloud has referenced what is on the
record. His concern is that the Board
just received a bunch of information submitted to the record. If whatever he has submitted goes un-rebutted
because it has not been provided to staff or anyone else to challenge, and if
the Board should deny, Mr. Cloud is in the position to say all that evidence is
there and it’s unrebutted. (That’s
because no one else has had the opportunity to address it.) He has a concern from his ability to defend
the decision of the Board it they choose to deny the request, because he does
not know what is in the record, and neither does staff, so no one has had a
chance to rebut the record. He said Mr.
Cloud can go to court and say that stands not unrebutted.
Chairman
Henley stated he doesn’t concur that the Board has approved others so they have
to approve this project. To him the
record is not impressive from the standpoint of the arguments since Mr. Cloud
has recapped what has been happening down the corridor over the past several
years.
Mr.
Cloud said he didn’t know why staff would need the opportunity to rebut because
their recommendation is for approval.
Mr.
McMillan said Mr. Cloud represented things what staff said and they have had no
opportunity to state if that is correct and nobody had the opportunity to know
what is in the documents. This is a
blind submission.
Commissioner
Dallari asked for Mr. McMillan’s recommendation.
Mr.
McMillan recommended continuing the public hearing to allow anybody to review
the documents. He said people who might
have attended today to provide input were precluded from participating. The Board basically reopened the public
hearing without notice to the public and nobody has seen the documents. He said the whole process disturbs him.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide suggested continuing to a date certain and make that very
shortly.
Commissioner
Carey asked if the recommendation is to continue it to the first meeting in
April.
Commissioner
Carey asked Mr. Cloud if he would be willing to exclude all the information
today or if he wishes to continue the public hearing. She added that she would recommend continuing
it to the first meeting in April.
Chairman
Henley recessed the meeting at 3:02 p.m. and reconvened it at 3:10 p.m.
Mr.
Cloud stated he would agree to a continuance, but he wants to make sure there
is adequate time to publish it.
Commissioner
Carey asked Mr. Fisher if the first meeting in April would allow time to be
properly advertised. Mr. Fisher stated
staff will look at the information. He
added that continuing the hearing to a date certain would not require another
advertisement.
Commissioner
Morris suggested reopening the public hearing now so at the next meeting it is
known as a public hearing.
Mr.
McMillan said that would work and staff could send notices that public input
would be taken.

by Commissioner Van Der Weide, to reopen the public hearing.

LEGISLATIVE
UPDATE
Susan
Dietrich, County Attorney’s Office, addressed the Board to advise the car
rental surcharge legislation is up today in Committee hearing and County
lobbyist Bobby Brantley will be attending the meeting and will speak on the
County’s behalf. She stated in the
Senate Affairs Committee today is the bill that requires all the counties to
develop a plan to separate sexual predators from others when the counties
operate emergency operation shelters.
That is HB 165. The most important
legislation is County Preemption Bill, HB 949, which preempts the authority of
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he thinks they can request their aides to write those
letters and he thinks they need to go out in a timely fashion, very soon.
Chairman
Henley stated he received a call from Mr. Brantley at home and he was
angry. It appeared that his favorite
legislator walked out of the meeting and it happened to be on the deferred comp
program. It seems Mr. Negron has
captured that bill and he has stopped it.
All during the conversation he kept referring to
Mr.
Fisher reminded the Board that Legislative Day is scheduled for April 5. He said he now has it listed that
Commissioner Morris is the one going with staff. He added that Commissioner Carey can’t make
it.
Commissioner
Morris said the only reason he was going was to accompany Commissioner
Carey. Whereupon, Commissioner Carey
stated she has a conflict representing the County on another committee. So that Commissioner Morris does not have to
go alone, she will check, but it may mean that someone else has to fill in for
her at another meeting.
Mr.
Fisher further advised that the Federal Legislative Day is scheduled for May 16
and he will work with the Commissioners’ offices as far as scheduling.
CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT

Henley said he thinks they all received a copy of the letter from Casselberry
(not received and filed) requesting the Board to appropriate funds for the

County has engineers qualified to do that and the County would not enter into
that funding for the request.

Henley advised he had not received the letter from Tom Green as indicated in
the work session. He said he called him
the other night and Mr. Green had been gone during spring break, but he
indicated he would get the letter to the County.
Mr.
Fisher stated he has been attempting to get in touch with Mr. Green. He will try to get together with him over the
next few days to go over some of the points they talked about. He will coordinate that with the Chairman’s
office to see where they are on that.

Under
discussion, Ms. Goldman stated she did not have any money in the budget to do
this. Whereupon, Commissioner Morris
said the source of funds will have to be the General Fund Contingency. He said he thought they had a grant
application.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated if they are lucky with the grant, the Museum Board has
agreed they would not have any trouble refunding the money to the General
Fund.

Mr.
Fisher said he doesn’t know if they evaluated the museum as part of their
studies. He will go back and see if that

Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms. Goldman said a 3,000 square foot building
was estimated at $450,000 for a two-story facility with 1,500 square feet on
each story.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said since that time, the Museum Board is looking for a bigger
building 50’ x 93’ that would be a two-story building.
Ms.

currently.

Mr.
Fisher asked what happens if the cost is higher than that.
Ms.

Jerry
McCollum,
Commissioner
Carey stated she would like to see an estimate since this building has doubled
in size, before she votes to fund it in order to make sure it fits into the
footprint. She said she would like to
know where they could get funding besides the General Fund. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide restated his motion to move forward in building a
new building based on $150 per square foot up to 6,000 square feet and suggest
they use in-house some of the planners to make sure this building has what it
needs based on the requests. If the
Museum receives any grant money, it would go back to the General Fund.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Dallari asked why cut the building to 6,000 square
feet. Commissioner Van Der Weide stated
he doesn’t have a problem with someone amending the size a little. He said he was concerned that Ms. Goldman is
telling them the size is off the footprint.
Commissioner
Morris made an amendment to the motion to
do an analysis for up to a 9,000 square foot building and bring that back to
the BCC. Commissioner Van Der Weide
agreed to the amendment.

out.
Commissioner
Morris said what concerns him is they are talking about all putting in
townhomes but did not say anything about the golf course.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said it’s all out on the table and they’re trying to work it out
now. The important thing is everybody is
involved.
