April 27, 2012 as "Seminole County Farm Tour Day."
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Matt Lollar, Cooperative
Extension Service, addressed the Board to state, like the Proclamation says,
agriculture contributes $465 million to the economy of Seminole County and one
way they try to show the citizens just how big of a deal agriculture is to the
County is through the Farm Tour. He
distributed a flyer (copy received and filed) on the Farm Tour to be held on
April 27, 2012, and advised they are highlighting some different locations this
year. He said the guest chef this year
is Art Jeanette from Jacksonville, Florida.
He said he hopes all the Commissioners can join them for the Farm Tour.
Imogene Yarborough, 186 First Street, addressed the
Board to state the flyer she distributed (copy received and filed) regarding
the SCCA 2nd Annual Junior Ranch Rodeo is an invitation to a lot of
fun.
Ms. Yarborough said the Farm Tour allows you to go
into these places and visit and see how they earn a living, help the
environment, and give us food and fiber to live on. She announced that beef is not being served
this year; instead it will be fish and all the trimmings. This is open to the public, but reservations
are requested.
Ms. Yarborough stated her flyer is for the second
annual Junior Ranch Rodeo to be held on April 14, 2012, and she described the
teams of youths who do different events on the ranch.
Clerk of Court Maryanne Morse entered the meeting at
this time.
Ms. Yarborough advised that there is no entrance fee to the rodeo, but those attending are asked to bring a
bag of can goods to benefit the Russell House of Orlando.
The Board presented the Proclamation to Ms.
Yarborough and Mr. Lollar.
Commissioner Dallari stated they are planning their
100-year celebration next year and he thinks it would be great to get the
agriculture community involved. He wants
to make sure that somehow they are plugged into that.
Chairman Carey said, certainly, they will be
included as Seminole County was known as the “Celery Capital of the World,” so
agriculture has played a big role in Seminole County’s history.
Speaker Request Forms were received and filed.

COUNTY MANAGER
AND STAFF’S BRIEFINGS

CRA. The requests are for John Stark and
Alan Trueba. He
said the Board’s recommendations will be passed on to the City Commission for
their vote.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Carey, Mr. Hartmann said
the County staff is bringing it to the attention of the City that it appears
the three-year terms don’t comply with the Florida Statutes.
Motion by Commissioner Henley,
seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to recommend the re-appointment of John Stark, for his first full term on the City
of Casselberry Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA); and recommend the re-appointment
of Alan Trueba for his second term on the City of
Casselberry CRA.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
COUNTY
ATTORNEY’S BRIEFING
County
Attorney Bryant Applegate addressed the Board to advise that with the signing
of the Medicaid Bill, there has been a lot of activity with the Florida
Association of Counties and the Florida Association of County Attorneys. He is on the Board of Directors for the Association
of County Attorneys. They will be
meeting as they are continuing to look at a lot of legal theories, if and when
a challenge can be filed to the bill. He
asked for the Board’s approval so that, if that time comes, he will have
permission to join in any lawsuit challenge to the Medicaid Bill.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner
Henley, to approve County Attorney Bryant Applegate to represent Seminole
County to join in a statewide lawsuit to challenge the Medicaid Bill, if and
when a lawsuit should go forward.
Chairman
Carey stated she was with Governor Scott for a bill signing recently and
discussed with him the Medicaid issue and that the Board was disappointed he had signed the bill.
The Governor assured her and Orange County Mayor Jacobs that if they
have issues, they are to call him directly. She said if the County has issues, she will
call the Governor without hesitation.
She asked Fiscal Services Director Lisa Spriggs to keep her abreast of
any issues.
Commissioner
Horan said he knows there are procedures under the statute now that are being
implemented by AHCA (Agency for Health Care Administration) and other
applicable agencies. He asked where they
are on that. Mr. Applegate said they
haven’t made a final decision yet, but he has three attorneys in his office
working on this with the association. Deputy
County Attorney Porter-Carlton is working on a memo now to update the Board on
where they are on everything.
Chairman
Carey said it depends on how the implementation comes through as to whether the
lawsuit will probably go forward.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

The Chairman recessed the meeting at 9:55
a.m., reconvening
at 1:30 p.m. with all Commissioners and all other Officials (with Clerk of
Court Maryanne Morse being absent) with the exception of Deputy Clerk Carylon
Cohen, who was replaced by Deputy Clerk Eva Roach, who were present at the

-------
Motion by Commissioner
Henley, seconded by Commissioner Dallari to authorize the filing of the proofs
of publication for this meeting's scheduled public hearings into the Official
Record.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
PUBLIC
HEARINGS
BEL AIRE
HILLS MSBU
Proof of publication, as shown on page ________, calling for a public
hearing to consider request to review the completed Bel
Aire Hills Wall Replacement MSBU construction
project; and to establish the final non-ad valorem assessment rates for the
MSBU by Resolution, received and filed.
Carol Watral, Fiscal Services, addressed the Board to advise this
project was completed successfully and under budget by roughly 4%. The new structure has provided a tremendous
update to the roadway perimeter and entrances of Bel Aire Hills. The
property owners are very satisfied with the new structure. The final assessments on a per property basis
are $1,529 for wall abutting property and $1,223 for non-abutting
property. The property owners may choose
to pay the full assessment within 30 days of this public hearing or pay in
installments via the annual property tax bill.
The installment assessment repayment term is 10 years with a finance fee
of 4.25%. She stated under the 10-year
term, the annual payment for abutting property is $190.87 and $152.67 for
non-abutting property. Staff recommends
approval of the request.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Carey, Lisa Spriggs, Fiscal Services Director, addressed
the Board to advise staff will have to look at the law as to whether or not the
County can set the 4.25% finance fee or could it be so many points over the
prime rate. She stated staff started
internal loans about eight years ago and they are basically recycling MSBU
monies and making the assessment available at a lower interest rate rather than
having to do it through a bank. She
added staff looked at what they could get through that type of program and what
they were earning on the money at that time.
There was a combination of indices to come up with the 4.25% and staff
thought that was a fair amount on a longer term basis to protect the public funds.
Upon
further inquiry by Chairman Carey, Ms. Watral advised
that about five property owners from the last MSBU project paid the lump sum
and 78 properties paid the installment payment.
No one
spoke in support or in opposition.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der
Weide, seconded by Commissioner Henley to adopt appropriate Resolution
#2012-R-78, as shown on page _________, establishing the final non-ad valorem
assessment rates for the Bel Aire
Hills Wall Replacement MSBU construction project at $1,529 for wall-abutting
property and $1,223 for non-abutting property, as described in the proof of
publication.
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
DIKE ROAD
WATER TREATMENT PLANT REZONE/Reiss Eng.
Proof of
publication, as shown on page ________, calling for a public hearing to
consider request to adopt an Ordinance rezoning 39.42 acres located on the
north side of Dike Road, approximately ½ mile west of Dodd Road, more
particularly known as 3300 Dike Road, from the A-1 (Agriculture) to the PLI
(Public Lands and Institution) zoning classification, Reiss Engineering for
Seminole County, received and filed.
Alan
Willis, Planning & Development, addressed the Board to advise the existing
zoning classification of A-1 is intended for agricultural purposes with single
family residential as a permitted use.
The PLI zoning classification is intended for public land use, which is
a more appropriate land use for County facilities. He stated staff recommends approval of the
request.
Lucy
Griffin, 2606 Dellwood Dr., addressed the Board to
state she is the owner of four or five lots on Mustang Way which she is
planning to build on. She stated she
wants to keep the area as natural as possible and her concern is why open the
door with changing this zoning for purposes which they do not know now that the
property can be used for. She added
there are too many unknowns about this and why is there a need to change the
present zoning.
At the
request of Chairman Carey, Nicole Guillet, Growth
Management Director, addressed the Board to explain the need to rezone this
property, stating staff has been moving forward to correct the zoning
designations on a number of County owned properties. The A-1 zoning is not consistent with the use
on the site. Staff has been trying to
make things right, and that’s what they are attempting with this request. This puts the County in a position of where
they have more latitude with regard to what they want to do with the property. She said any use of the properties will have
to go before the Board. This rezoning
will make the land use and zoning consistent with the actual use on the
property.
Chairman
Carey stated it is not staff’s intent to remove the water treatment plant.
Ms. Guillet explained for Chairman Carey what the allowable
uses are under the Public Lands designation.
Jim
Monahan, Environmental Services, addressed the Board to explain how many acres
this property takes up for the water treatment plant.
Chairman
Carey stated the excess land could not be sold for some other use without going
through a complete process.
Ms. Guillet explained for Commissioner Dallari why the water
plant isn’t conducive for the present agriculture zoning.
No one
else spoke in support or in opposition.
Written
Comment Form was received and filed.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to adopt Ordinance #2012-8, as shown on

CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
Chairman
Carey stated she recently received information from Ray Valdes, Tax Collector,
that he is buying property on Wilshire Blvd. in order to build a new facility
to accommodate future needs. She stated
he currently shares some space with the Clerk’s office at Wilshire Plaza and,
when he moves out, there will be around 1,600 or 1,800 sq. ft. of additional
space for the Clerk; and the County pays the rent for that. She said Mr. Valdes is asking if the Board is
interested in paying to put 2,000 sq. ft. into this new facility for the Clerk
so they can remain in one facility. She
added she spoke to the Clerk about this and her concern is she does not have
the money to move. The total amount to
put them into a new facility would be around $350,000 so the County can stop
paying rent. She said she has asked Mr.
Hartmann to direct staff to do a quick analysis as this is time sensitive for
Mr. Valdes. She added Mr. Valdes would
not be collecting rent from the Clerk.
She feels this is something that the Board should be considering.
Commissioner
Henley stated he doesn’t have any objections to doing that. He said the post office where the SunRail is located in Altamonte Springs has been placed up
for sale and he believes the owner is asking for $500,000. He stated that building is still in good
shape and it may be something that the Board may consider purchasing. He said he spoke to the FDOT District 5
secretary and she indicated that they may be able to pick that up, if it is
still available, in the second phase.
Chairman
Carey stated the Sheriff’s Office just moved from a building at 5 Points and
staff is planning to move Probation to that building so it will be closer to
the jail. She said she feels it is silly
for the County to pay rent when a Constitutional Officer will be building a
facility that can house them for the next 50 years without having anyone paying
rent.
Commissioner
Dallari stated the Board can look at the numbers and when they get the budget
back this summer, all that needs to be taken into account.
Chairman
Carey stated Mr. Valdes is trying to move his design forward and if the 2,000
sq. ft. for the Clerk is not included in the design, he is going to design the
building differently than he would be if he was accommodating that. She stated the numbers will probably be
circulated next week and, hopefully, the Board can give some direction.
Commissioner
Henley stated he would like to see the numbers.
He said he is assuming that if the County is going to upfront the money,
it will be taken out of the reserves.

DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS
Commissioner
Dallari stated the Board has had discussions about the drainage ditches along
the unmaintained roads that are getting quite thick. He said he has asked staff what it would take
to put those roads on a three-year cycle so they can be cut once every three
years. He stated even though the roads
are not being maintained, staff can bush hog the ditches. He submitted some numbers (not received and
filed) from staff and the numbers show $2,500 per cycle. He added he doesn’t know if the numbers are
for all the unmaintained roads or just one road. He said he would like this addressed during
the budget work sessions.
Alan
Wheeler, Public Works Director, addressed the Board to advise the cycles are
for all the unmaintained dirt roads in the County.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like this discussed either during the budget work
sessions or today.
Commissioner
Henley suggested that they discuss this during the work sessions as he would
like staff to provide the names of those roads as well.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Carey, Mr. Wheeler advised the maintenance of those roads
will be outsourced.
-------
Commissioner
Dallari stated he received some handouts at the last briefing relating to the
Yankee Lake Reclaim facility’s proposed baseball field complex. He was under the inclination that the County
was not purchasing lands for this and they were doing this on the existing footprint. He said he would like to know when this will
be brought back to the Board.
Jim
Hartmann, County Manager, stated staff has started to put together answers from
the last work session. Staff started to
explore the use of the spray fields and Phase II of Yankee Lake facility which
is intended for some years down the road.
As staff was going through the analysis, some big numbers came to
staff’s attention, such as moving spray fields or moving Phase II of Yankee
Lake. He stated staff is considering all
the options. The School Board property
is currently up for sale and the other piece of property to the left of Yankee
Lake is also currently for sale. He
added in order to fit the numbers of ball fields that were discussed at the
work session, additional property would need to be acquired. It is all scalable based on the amount of
property that is owned and intended to be utilized. Staff has identified a number of other constraints
and these will need to be well articulated when they come to the Board at the
next meeting.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Hartmann advised staff will be looking at
the road widening of SR 46 and they will also identify some of the other
constraints, such as ingress and egress to the site under the current plan.
Commissioner
Henley stated in talking to staff regarding this, his concern is the Board is
approving three towers and one is going to Yankee Lake. He stated he was concerned as to where that
location might be as it relates to what they are trying to accomplish with the
fields. The other thing is staff members
came to the conclusion that the spray fields were not going to be an issue
because if they wind up with 70 or 80 acres, they are going to have to be irrigated
constantly due to the type of grass that is there. He said he is glad that they are going to
move forward, but the Board is going to have to make a decision as to whether
they can get it on there as they want it. The proposal submitted to him reduces
the number by three fields from what they were told would fit on that
footprint. He said he doesn’t want to
get to the point like they did with Soldiers Creek by creating substandard
fields when they own 2,400 acres and should be able to find 70 or 80 acres to
accomplish this.
Chairman
Carey stated the number for the School Board piece is not in the calculation as
far as what the total cost would be.
Mr.
Hartmann stated he doesn’t believe staff has viable numbers. He stated for the contract that the County
has with the School Board, the actual value will be
set by an appraiser.
Commissioner
Dallari recommended that this information should be presented to the Leisure
Services Board.
Commissioner
Henley stated Mr. Abel indicated that he has not addressed that to the Leisure
Services Board, but they passed a motion asking the BCC to move expeditiously
to try to make this happen.
Chairman
Carey stated the Board received a letter asking them to look at the Vonn property for ball fields. This property is located further down from
the County’s property and she is not sure if the depth of it would allow them
to do a lot. The County owns a lot of land out there and there are some environmental issues out
there, as well as a lot of high and dry land.
The County needs to look at the School Board piece.
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Carey, Mr. Hartmann advised the County does have the right
of first refusal if the School Board decides to sell. He stated the price is not based on what they
paid for it, but it is the value of the property at the time the County
exercises its right.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he feels that another group that needs to be involved is the
Tourism Development Board.
Mr.
Hartmann stated there are a number of constraints on this site and the next
time the Board sees it, staff will identify those constraints, as all of them
will have to go into the basis of the decision.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he doesn’t want this to come before the Board before it is
vetted through those groups.
Mr.
Hartmann stated staff can take the pre-concept information back to those
Boards.
Chairman
Carey stated the Board needs to wait until they know whether it is viable or
not. The Planning staff can look at the
site to the west to see what issues there are.
Mr.
Hartmann stated staff will bring that back to the Board to determine whether or
not this is a viable project and the concept should be developed; then, that
would be the appropriate time to take it to the other Boards.
-------
Commissioner
Dallari asked staff to put together some numbers on outsourcing Information
Technologies and Human Resources so they can discuss that during the summer
budget work sessions. No objections were voiced.
COUNTY
MANAGER’S REPORT
No Report.
COUNTY
ATTORNEY’S REPORT
Mr.
Applegate stated his office has started a few weeks ago a briefing process of
advising all departments on the use of email, public records, social media,
Sunshine law, and ethics. He stated he
will be visiting the Utilities Department and Public Works with regard to the
pitfalls of using these and general guidance under the law.
-------
There
being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the
meeting adjourned at 2:15 p.m., this same date.
