PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT/BUILDING
Director of Planning & Development, Frances Chandler, addressed the Board to present request from David Tollman to rename a private platted street named Oak Knoll Point in Summer Oaks Subdivision to the Honorable Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Heritage Point. She advised staff explained to Mr. Tollman that the length of the proposed street name would present problems for the 911 Emergency CAD System, the postal service and Traffic Engineering sign fabrication. Therefore, staff proposed DR M L King Jr. Point. There are 15 lots with nine property owners and Mr. Tollman does not own a lot in the subdivision. Staff received phone calls from three of the property owners and letters in opposition from two of the property owners. She added that the staff is recommending denial of the street name change request.
Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Morris to deny request for a street name change that would rename Oak Knoll Point to DR M L King Jr. Point.
Under discussion, District Commissioner McLain stated that this has been a contentious issue in the neighborhood. He advised that he received a call from Mr. Williams, representative of the NAACP, stating they are opposed to this requested change.
Commissioner Morris stated the issue is one that there are no residents in favor of the name change. He said it is obvious what this is about – it is an internal dispute, which the County should not get involved with. He added that this is quite offensive to him.
Commissioner Maloy stated it looks to him that this is pure harassment and he believes this degrades Dr. King.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
The Chairman recessed the meeting at 9:45 a.m., in order for Commissioner Maloy to meet with the residents with regard to Item #25, Otter Lane.

Traffic Engineer, Bob Zaitooni, addressed the Board to advise the following conditions will be added: (1) County to provide a culvert and stabilized driveway for the movement of vehicles; (2) Once development occurs on Citrus (there currently are two undeveloped residential lots), the County will consider bringing that in for emergency maintenance; and (3) Installing a warning sign stating "Hidden Driveway" on Tuskawilla approaching Citrus. He said staff will be monitoring the situation to determine if any other safety issues remain.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REGULAR AGENDA
FISCAL SERVICES
Commissioner McLain re-entered the meeting at this time. Director of Fiscal Services, Cindy Hall, addressed the Board to request Board direction with regard to setting the proposed millage, which will be included on the TRIM notification. She said the agenda packet includes three different options and scenarios and she explained each. She advised that staff has freed up $2.8 million from additional revenue and reductions in the budget; and have included scenarios which provide a way to look at how that money could be used or redistributed.
Commissioner Maloy stated he would like to see the Board continue with the consensus taken during the budget work sessions with regard to the $1.5 million in tax cuts. Therefore, he said he is in support of Option #3, 7.9209 millage. He added that he would like to see additional cuts prior to the budget public hearing.
Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to set proposed millage at 7.9209 (as listed in Option #3), depicting $1.5 million in cuts.
Under discussion, Commissioner Morris stated he is concerned about the $1.5 million, especially in light of the Central Florida Zoo’s presentation asking for $3 million. He said that Option #2, reducing the millage to 7.9577, would equate to $1 million in cuts and would allow the Zoo to go forward. He added that he is trying to figure out how to fund the Zoo under the Option #3 scenario.
Chairman Henley stated that the County Manager has not yet gotten into the budget. The $1.5 million in cuts is what the Board identified. He said that once the County Manager begins to go through the budget, there can be additional money freed up to meet the Zoo’s request.
County Manager, Kevin Grace, advised he will be going through the budget department by department.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he sees Option #3 as a starting point and believes that between now and the official adoption of the budget, the money will be found for the Zoo.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLain, Mr. Grace stated that if he had to make a recommendation, he would go with Option #1 or #2 because of what he knows are still pending issues, such as the jail expansion.
Commissioner McLain stated he is concerned that the Board is not sending a good signal to the Zoo. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Morris stated he would support Option #2, which would reduce the millage by $1 million and also fund the Zoo. He said the Board can always make further cuts later. He said the problem that the Zoo has is in approaching other governmental entities when they don’t have a commitment from the County. He implored the Board to consider Option #2 for that purpose.
Commissioner Maloy reminded the Board that it was a 5-0 consensus to cut the $1.5 million during the work sessions. He said he does not see any reduction in County employees and there are still 38 new positions being proposed. He added that there are still a lot of things, which can be cut and still support, the Zoo.
Chairman Henley pointed out that the motion is only setting the proposed millage and is not approving any of the scenarios. He said the County Manager is being given an opportunity to come back with some way to fund the road program, the Zoo and possibly stormwater. He further said that he would like to deal with the motion and then direct the County Manager to come back with the funding to meet those objectives.
Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Morris to amend the main motion and to authorize transferring $213,600 (outlined in scenario option #3) from the road paving program to the Zoo.
Under discussion, Commissioner Maloy stated he would be more interested in bringing forth some cost reductions rather than shifting money from one fund to another. He said he believes the Board has committed to the Zoo.
Commissioner Van Der Weide agreed with Commissioner Maloy, stating he believes the Zoo clearly understands that the Board is in support. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner McLain restated his amendment to the motion as follows: "To instruct staff to include funding of no less than $213,600 from the General Fund in the 1999/2000 Budget for the Zoo, with the balance to be funded from TDC for a total of $1.5 million over five years". Commissioner Morris, as second to the motion, agreed.
The amendment to the motion was voted upon and carried with Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voting AYE.
The Board then voted upon the main motion, as amended, with Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voting AYE.
Ms. Hall requested approval of reductions and additional revenues as listed in the agenda packet.
Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to approve the FY 1999/00 Proposed Budget Adjustments from the June 15 – 18, 1999 Budget Work Sessions, as listed in the agenda packet; to instruct staff to try to find more cuts prior to the Budget public hearing; and to include adjustments to the Reserves to reflect the fact that Option #3 has been identified and reductions in the amount of $1.5 million have been made.
Under discussion and at the request of Ms. Hall, Commissioners McLain and Maloy included in the motion authorization to delete the FP&L Building Demolition and Restroom Renovations from the proposed budget.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Ms. Hall requested Board direction with regard to RFP-464-99/BJC, Closing Agents/Title Search Services. She advised that based on the evaluation criteria, the Evaluation Committee is presenting the top three, most qualified, responsive firms ranked as follows: (1) Shutts & Bowen, LLP; (2) Anthony M. Nardella, Jr.; and (3) Winderwedle, Haines, Ward & Woodman, P.A. Staff is requesting the Board approve the three firms and authorize staff to negotiate with the highest ranked firm and the next highest ranked firm, if negotiations fail.
Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Morris to approve the list of three highly qualified firms; authorize staff to negotiate fee schedule with the highest ranked firm and next highest ranked firm, if negotiations fail; and, to direct staff to bring a negotiated contract to the Board with the selected firm for award of a contract with a term of one year with two one-year renewable options.
Under discussion, Commissioner Maloy questioned how staff came to the conclusion that one firm was less expensive than the others when there is a range of prices for certain services. Whereupon, Ms. Hall advised she averaged the mid-point prices.
Commissioner Maloy also questioned why the County could not just deal with a title company and cut out the middleman. Ms. Hall answered that the County needs to have the ability to have legal staff available.
Assistant County Attorney, Lonnie Groot, addressed the Board to state in terms of having title insurance written, a regular title company can do that; however, there are times attorney services are needed in order to get to closing. He pointed out that the County will only pay attorney and paralegal fees when they are needed.
Discussion ensued with regard to the County writing title policies in-house. Whereupon, Mr. Groot advised the law does not permit government attorneys to write their own policies.
Commissioner McLain stated he will withdraw his motion. Commissioner Morris stated he will not withdraw his second. The Chairman advised he will not recognize the withdrawal of the motion.
Commissioner McLain advised he will be leaving the meeting at this time and would encourage the Board to support staff’s recommendation with regard to this issue. He left the meeting at this time.
Commissioner Maloy suggested working with the title company and senting the more difficult issues to an attorney. Discussion ensued.
Districts 2, 3 and 4 voted AYE.
Commissioner Maloy voted NAY.

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS
Commissioner McLain stated he met with the citizens on Cochran Road in Geneva relative to the Road Building Program. He stated no one who attended the meeting was in opposition to paving that road. The citizens were concerned with pedestrians and horseback riding and they wanted to make sure that there would be plenty of right-of-way along the road. He stated he assured them that the road would be designed so that there will be plenty of a grassy area for that activity to continue. He added he also assured them that the widening of this road was not for development purposes but for the existing residents and property owners.
-------
Commissioner Maloy stated he has received information relative to the rezoning request for Riverwind Apartments that was approved a while back. He stated it appears that the Board was not notified that this facility was going to be a boarding house for students with 436 bedrooms and only 308 parking spaces. He said when this rezoning came through, staff was not aware that this was going to be this type of facility. He added he would like staff to evaluate the Land Development Code relative to student housing issues including parking.
Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to authorize staff to evaluate the Land Development Code relative to student housing, and to come back to the Board with some ideas regarding parking, security and other things they deem appropriate.
Under discussion, Chairman Henley stated he had a discussion with Representative Constantine relative to student housing on campus. He stated he suggested that Representative Constantine discuss this issue with an official from UCF to see if they can work out a public/private partnership. He said UCF has a desire to construct a golf course on campus and he assured him that UCF has an obligation to provide student housing without forcing it out into the community.
Commissioner McLain stated he feels the Board should scrutinize this and direct staff to evaluate the issues relative to buffering and site plans.
Mr. Grace stated staff has the ability to review that during the review process.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

Commissioner Morris stated he and staff met with the Crossings Master Homeowner Association to discuss three issues. The first issue was to improve the parks and quality of life in the Crossings area. Staff has met with the Greenwood Lakes Middle School principal and staff members from the School Board relative to using Greenwood Lakes Park as an initial pilot site for improvements at the schools. He stated the principal of Greenwood Lakes was very enthusiastic about this. The second issue was the construction of sidewalks along the Longwood/Lake Mary Road. The total project cost is $175,000. These improvements are eligible for a FRDAP grant and if the grant is approved, it would allow further enhancements to the school. A copy of a memorandum showing the cost of the project was received and filed. He stated these issues would be brought back to the Board at the next meeting as line item transfers. The Board consented to bringing back at the next meeting the Budget Change Requests, Interlocal Agreement with the School and grant application.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
Commissioner Maloy stated the Wastewater Transmission Authority is scheduled to meet tomorrow, July 28, 1999.

Commissioner Morris informed the Board that there is a new court ruling that the ECFRPC meetings no longer can be advertised as a State setup agency. He stated every meeting and every subcommittee meetings would have to be advertised per the Florida Administrative Code.

There being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 2:30 p.m., this same date.
