Mr.
Metsopoulos presented the request to approve the release of funds provided by
the Interlocal Agreement between the U.S. 17-92 CRA and the city of Sanford in
the amount of $390,350.00 for the 13th Street Beautification
Project. Mr. Metsopoulos advised this is
the final design of the streetscape project and will really be an asset to the
community.
Commissioner
Carey stated she was in the area yesterday and this building is well
underway. She asked if this is part of a
bigger project. She said 13th
Street between 17-92 and where the project is going to end is really looking
pretty rough. She was hoping they would
focus some effort into that area so all of the corridors coming into the County
will begin to look a little better.
Mr.
Metsopoulos stated this is the first part of the project. He said staff will come with a third request
in the near future to address Commissioner Carey’s issues. He further advised that he doesn’t believe
the CRA stretches that far to Sanford Avenue.
Whereupon, Commissioner Carey said she wants to look at the intersection
of Park Avenue and 13th Street and 13th Street and Sanford
Avenue.
Commissioner
Henley said they are not allowed to spend money outside the corridor.
Mr.
Metsopoulos said he would check the boundaries and report back to Commissioner
Carey.
Chairman
Dallari asked Mr. Metsopoulos to relay the Board’s concerns to the City.
Mr.
Metsopoulos also advised Commissioner Carey that his understanding is that this
is all going to be irrigated.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded
by Commissioner McLean, to approve the release of funds provided by the
Interlocal Agreement between the U.S. 17-92 CRA and the city of Sanford in the
amount of $390,350.00 for the 13th Street Beautification Project.
Districts
1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Mr.
Metsopoulos presented the request to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute
the Interlocal Agreement between the CRA and the city of Sanford, in the amount
of $33,000, for the 13th Street Reclaimed Water Line Extension
Project; and also authorize the Chairman to execute a Budget Change Request in
the amount of $33,000 to be dedicated to the project. He advised this is to irrigate the
aforementioned project and if there are projects in the future that need
reclaimed water, the line will be accessible.
He said this is a cost-sharing project with the City. The CRA will pay for the materials and
design, and the City will pay for the labor.
Commissioner
Carey said looking at the map, the reclaimed water ends at 13th
Street and does not run along 13th Street to 17-92 where a lot of
the improvements will be.
Mr.
Metsopoulos advised Chairman Dallari that the materials being laid are all
within the CRA.
Mike
McCray and Bill Marcoo, Sanford City Planner, addressed the Board to answer
questions by Commissioner Carey. Mr.
Marcoo said where they are laying the line will fit into that area. If they do more westward on 13th
Street, this line will be available.
This will irrigate not only the Public Safety Complex but the
streetscape as well.
Commissioner
Carey said she wants to make sure they are going to be able to use the reclaimed
water and be able to irrigate this new facility.
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded
by Commissioner McLean, to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the
Interlocal Agreement, as shown on page _______, between the CRA and the city of
Sanford, in the amount of $33,000, for the 13th Street Reclaimed
Water Line Extension Project; and also authorize the Chairman to execute a
Budget Change Request in the amount of $33,000 to be dedicated to the project.
Districts
1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

-------
Commissioner
McLean questioned Item #15, Seminole County/The Golden Rule Housing and
Community Development Corporation/Keep Your Castle, LLC SHIP Program Rental
Housing Development Subrecipient Agreement, Program Year 2009-2010, stating the
four units are going to be rented at market rates and the normal approach is to
take the low and very low rate structure.
He said he was curious why these units were based on market rates.
Michelle
Saunders, Community Services Director, addressed the Board and asked the staff to
address Commissioner McLean’s question.
Ricardo Soto-Lopez, Community
Development Manager, advised the dollars only went so far relative to the 20
units that are for low, very low and extremely low. The space allows for an additional four
units. What is left is the market rent.
Commissioner Carey said the Board
has also had the discussion about whether they are better off to mix standardized
housing with affordable housing or build a whole community with affordable
housing. She thinks mixing some of that
together may make some sense. Even when
they talked about placing affordable housing throughout the County, they talked
about trying to make certain subdivisions have a few smaller lots and houses
and that would be the affordable housing mixed among the other.
Commissioner McLean said he thinks
this was the first time he saw market rent value in these types of projects. It’s different than what was done in the past.
Commissioner Henley said he is not
sure four units will be enough. He is
concerned about continuing maintenance and operations so staff doesn’t have to
come back asking for money to keep them subsidized. He would not object to keep increasing those
units.
Chairman Dallari asked the staff to
monitor this and, if there are any additional needs, to bring those through the
proper channels. He added that the Board
will address them at that time.
-------
Commissioner Carey stated, for the
record, regarding Item #30, Resolution implementing Budget Amendment Request
(BAR) #10-47 through the Natural Lands Endowment Fund in the amount of $8,250
to establish additional funding for Natural Lands Education Programs, she spoke
to staff about some of the summer programs through Parks and Recreation. The last answer she received was that staff
would be looking at the cost. She said
the documentation shows there would be some profits. She doesn’t think the County should be
charging more to the citizens if they can cut the costs so more people can go
to some of these programs. She wants to
make sure it’s on the record that there are some pretty big gaps in what the
charges are and what the County’s actual costs are. She added that the County should not be
trying to make a profit.
Chairman Dallari said he believes
the full Board feels the same way and they had discussions about that, even in
the work sessions.

CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
Chairman
Dallari advised that at the Mayors/Manager’s meeting last month, there was
discussion about the one cent sales tax and looking at it wholistically. Due to some of the issues that are being
looked at from a regional perspective, they will be bringing in MetroPlan, Lynx
and DOT to look at some of the things the Board has been working on regionally. He said some of the Mayors/Managers have not
been kept informed so they will try to have more information for them in order
that they can bring it back to their cities so they understand more of the
regional things the Board has been looking at.
They will ask MetroPlan, Lynx and DOT to be at the Mayors/Managers
meeting next month, which will be held at the County Services Building.
Mr. Forte
corrected that the meeting here will be in July. He said he had just received
an e-mail to confirm that.

DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS
Commissioner Henley reported since the BCC’s last meeting, the
Commuter Rail Commission met for an update on what’s going on. Concerns were raised on input to DOT in the
seven-year period. He said he expressed
himself over decisions they are making in that period that the County has to
live with, and there has not been a mechanism for them to have input in those
decisions since they are going to have to pay for them. There was also discussion about the need for connectivity
with high-speed rail. It was reported
that DOT is going to try to close out the rest of the right-of-way needed. He said the train order has been issued; and added
things are moving along. They are in
pretty good shape in Seminole County with regard to the number of parcels DOT
has closed.

COUNTY
MANAGER’S REPORT
Mr. Forte advised this Thursday the city of Lake Mary will hold
a public hearing dealing with their downtown development plan. He has a letter (copy received and filed) he
would like to have the Chairman sign regarding same. He said the letter is congratulating the City
and supporting their efforts in wanting to change the land use from Low Medium
Density Residential to a Downtown Development District; however, it requests
the City to hold on development around the rail station. He said staff will be monitoring that as they
go through their development process.
Commissioner Henley said he thinks since the Board has not seen
it, it is appropriate to let the City know that the County is not buying into
their plan at this time until they have their details.
Chairman Dallari said the Board’s consensus is for the Chairman to sign the letter.
-------
Mr. Forte stated the Board wanted an update on Fire Station #29,
and he distributed copies of the PowerPoint slides (received and filed)
regarding Work Order No. 1.
Frank Raymond, Central Services Director, addressed the Board to
state this is the design for Fire Station 29 and it will be the prototype design
for fire stations in the future. He said
he is bringing this back for the Board’s consensus. He introduced C.T. Hsu, Jim Hughes, Andy Burkes,
ZHA, Project Manager, and Ed Bateman.
Jim Hughes, Senior Program Manager for development of the fire
station, addressed the Board to state he will give an update on the design of
Fire Station 29. He highlighted three updates
they have made. He reviewed the
PowerPoint slides and stated they relocated a filling station; he showed the
floor plan; and stated they have downsized a separate exercise room and
adjusted the restroom layout to be code compliant. He said other than that, the overall plan is
intact, and they are prepared at this time to go forward with a building
permit.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Dallari, Mr. Hughes advised they are on
schedule with the project and are within the budget of $2 million.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Hughes said the current
plan is for a staff of five persons, but the capacity is to go up to nine staff
members. Whereupon, Commissioner Henley
said that is a lot of space for the small number of personnel that will at the
station. Mr. Hughes added there will be multiple
functions in the space for kitchen/dining room area. He said the square footage is very compact
and is efficiently laid out.
Discussion
ensued with Commissioner Carey asking about the square footage of the living
area, and Mr. Hughes said it is 9,856 s.f.
Chairman Dallari noted that includes the apparatus bay of 4,416
s.f. Commissioner Carey said that is still
pretty generous. If they don’t have nine
people for the individual bunk rooms, they can double for offices without doing
the additional enclosure. She said none
of the other fire stations have individual bunk rooms and before they start
closing in something to accommodate the Battalion Chiefs, she thinks they have
unused rooms that they can use as offices and they ought to consider that. She said this may be overkill on what they
need to be spending on fire stations, in her opinion.
Mr. Forte
said staff already has authorization to proceed. Staff wants consensus to move forward as
presented today.
Commissioner
Carey said this is going to become the prototype model for future fire stations
and she would like to see the County tighten up some of their standards. She thinks they should be able to tell what
they are doing and reorganize some of that space to better utilize it.
Chairman
Dallari said he doesn’t see a need to redesign, and they need to go with this
now. He added he knows Mr. Hsu is known
for his most effective designs and they are meeting the goals.
Commissioner
Carey said she is not saying they should redesign this one but look at whether
they should redesign the prototype. These
fire stations are pretty expensive, especially considering that half of this
plan is nothing more than a garage.
Mr. Raymond
advised Commissioner Carey that it will be a hard bid for this project. Chairman Dallari asked if there is a way of
doing a hard bid so the covered portion is an add-on.
Mr. Hughes
stated the screened portion was intended to meet short-term needs. He said going forward with future build-out,
they could finish that space. They
thought that was the efficient way to approach it. They currently have two alternates on the
project. Going forward, they can look at
tightening up the footprints as they do the site “adapts”.
Chairman
Dallari asked if they can do another add-alternate on the enclosure for the
Battalion Chiefs’ area. Mr. Hughes said
it is being bid out as a covered screen room with future potential for expansion. He said they can also look at how effective
the add-alternate is as an option.
Commissioner
Henley said he agrees with Commissioner Carey that this is a very generous
space. It is a very good design, but looking
at the budget and future needs in the fire department, they are not flushed
with money so they need to consider where they can reduce without endangering
the overall effectiveness of the building.
He asked suggested doing the adjustments now on the square footage.
Mr. Hughes
said they will look at that.
Commissioner
McLean stated he thinks they are making sure that the need and coverage will be
met over time. They are not only
planning for today but to be versatile and flexible for tomorrow. If they look at this as a prototype, they
need to be as cost efficient as they can to give them the flexibility they
need. He added that needs change.
Commissioner
Carey said if they continue to get requests from various jurisdictions to merge
the fire departments, the facilities will become more aggressive as well. In the future, if they end up with other
jurisdiction’s fire stations, that might change how the County runs their
facilities. This is something they need
to keep in the back of their minds.
Chairman
Dallari said the consensus of the
Board is to move forward, provided they have an add-alternate on the Battalion
Chiefs’ space and staff is to see about tweaking the plan to shrink the square
footage.
-------
Sabrina O’Bryan,
Assistant County Manager, addressed the Board to give an update on legislative
items. Mr. Forte distributed a handout
(copy received and filed) on the summary of the legislation. She advised there are five items under review
related to traffic control devices with a dollar amount of from $50 to
$200. They are all in committee at this
time. Chairman Dallari requested Ms.
O’Bryan to provide the Commissioners with the total bill text for all five
items.
Commissioner
Carey said it would be nice to have circulated to everyone the news article by
Aubrey Jewett, professor at UCF, on red light cameras.
Commissioner
Henley asked what the policy is regarding employees who are caught running red
lights and are fined.
Mr. Forte
stated the driver is expected to handle that, and the driver can be easily
identified.
Ms. O’Bryan
stated there are 294 bills filed as of yesterday. She advised she can do weekly updates and
submit the information to each of the Commissioners’ offices. Chairman Dallari said he thinks it is
important for the Board to receive updates either on Fridays or Mondays because
things do move fast sometimes in Tallahassee.
Whereupon, Ms. O’Bryan said she will plan to provide updates on Fridays.
ITEM
FOR FUTURE AGENDA
Robert King, 2211 Black Hammock Road, addressed the Board to
state he has submitted some recommended changes to the Land Development Code
and he would like to get on the agenda to discuss them with the Board.
Chairman Dallari advised the Board would like to first review
those, and they have not seen anything yet.
He asked Mr. King to make sure staff submits the information to the
Board.
Commissioner Carey said the Land Development Code is being
rewritten and it is an ongoing process.
She suggested it would be helpful if staff could communicate to the
Commissioners about Mr. King’s comments.
Mr. King
said he also suggested provisions to the Municipal Code and he is now at the
point where discussions need to happen.
He asked if this could be done at the same time as the Land Development
discussion, and Chairman Dallari said that would be fine.
-------
Commissioner Henley questioned the time of the work session
today, and Chairman Dallari advised it would begin at 1:30 p.m. in Room 3024.
-------
There being no further business to come before the Board, the
Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 10:28 a.m., this same date.
