Kathy Moore, Resource Management, advised that the actual processing and handling of the recycling is done through the Environmental Services Solid Waste Management Division. Her understanding is that the cost charged to the property owner is for the service costs of providing the recycling collection. Any funds that are recouped through the recycling process are all part of managing the overall cost of running the landfill and the transfer station, and any money received for that is recouped into the program, which offsets the rate that is charged to the customers.

Commissioner Carey stated when they renegotiate those contracts, the rate they get for those commodities is considered part of the overall contract.

Ms. Salvio stated she was curious as to the amount of money the County receives because the assessment is being increased for the next year. Commissioner Carey advised that this is monitored every year during the budget process and for the last couple of years, they had excess revenues in reserves and even though the cost to provide the service to the citizens went up, they did not raise the rates. It was paid out of the excess reserve. The reserve is now depleted and that is why there is an adjustment for this year.

Mr. Hartmann stated they will ensure that staff follows up with Ms. Salvio.

Richard Young, 221 Hamlin Drive, addressed the Board to state his concerns regarding garbage pickup in his neighborhood. He said they have a number of single occupancies there and each has probably one garbage can per month. Chairman Dallari advised there is an actual table to get different rates. Mr. Young stated he already has the reduced rate of one pickup. He expressed further concern that condos and apartments get dumpsters and don’t have to pay the fees. Commissioner Carey explained there are instances where if a street has a minimal amount of residents, they can contact the Solid Waste Department to get a dumpster. There is also a hardship process that citizens can apply for. She said they will have the Solid Waste Department contact him to discuss alternate options that are available. Commissioner Henley explained the basis of the fees.

No one else spoke in support or in opposition.

Commissioner Carey advised she received written public commentary from citizens, Ms. Grossman and Mr. Salamaya, and will submit them to the Clerk for the record.

Commissioner Horan commended the efficiency and professionalism of the MSBU staff. He said there are five people on the staff that administer 400 to 500 MSBU’s.

Joe Pennisi, Resource Management Director, addressed the Board to state they work within the Ordinance which does not call for billing on the basis of the amount of trash that is produced; it is on a per-residential-unit basis. He said they will work with Solid Waste Management and get back to Mr. Young with substantive answers and options that may be beneficial.

Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan, to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute appropriate Resolution #2013-R-213, as shown on page _______, adopting the 2013 Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll with Certification, as shown on page _______, provided to the Seminole County Tax Collector, as described in the proof of publication.

PORT AUTHORITY BUDGET

Proof of publication, as shown on page _______, calling for a public hearing to consider approval of the FY 2013/14 proposed Seminole County Port Authority (SCOPA) Budget, received and filed.

Lin Polk, Budget Division, addressed the Board to state the purpose of the public hearing and said the Port Authority is a self-supporting political body that operates the Port of Sanford. Their budget has been advertised publicly in a newspaper of general circulation.

Andrew Van Gaale, Port Administrator of Seminole County Port Authority (SCOPA), addressed the Board to present the 2013/2014 Port Authority Budget. He reviewed the projected 2012/2013 Operational Profit summarized in Memorandum #2198 (received and filed) from SCOPA Board of Directors to the BCC. He advised that the contribution to the County coming in October of this year amounts to about $450,000.

Mr. Van Gaale stated their budget considers the financial and fiscal aspects of the Port. They hit an occupancy rate of 90% last month, and they had started last year at about 81% to 82%. He stated the major expenditures budget for next year is mainly geared toward maintenance and repair of their built-in assets. He explained the budget is in two parts: Operational Budget and Total Cash Budget.

Mr. Van Gaale stated the proposed Total Budget is in the amount of $3,540,537, which is an increase of nearly half a million over last year. He reviewed Projected Cash Operational Revenue and Expenses and stated the 2013 Operational Budget estimates a year-end profit of $558,605 or a 33% profit margin.

Mr. Van Gaale stated the Total Cash Budget for 2013/2014 includes a cash carryforward amount this year of $1,843,991; the predicted operational revenue amount of $1,696,546 and expense amount of $1,137,941; consideration of a non-operational transfer of funds to Seminole County General Fund of $500,000 next year; and a year-end cash balance at the end of 2014 of $1,902,596.

Mr. Van Gaale advised that the budget was approved by the SCOPA Board of Directors in May 2013 and requested approval of the 2013/2014 Port Authority Budget.

Commissioner Carey stated that historically it was the goal of the Port Authority Board, on which she serves, to have positive cash-flow so the contributions to the County could amount toward $1 million a year. She opined they need to continue to try to operate a great industrial facility, but to also remember that the long-term goal is to be able to return some of the funds to the County. As part of that, the County receives a yearly request from the SCOPA Board to continue to support the Seminole State Business Incubator Partnership, which amounts to $150,000 per year. This is typically funded out of the SCOPA contribution to help small-business economic development. Commissioner Carey requested that the County Manager confirm that this amount is budgeted before Thursday’s Budget Work Session.

No one spoke in support or in opposition.

Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve the FY 2013/14 Seminole County Port Authority (SCOPA) Budget, as described in the proof of publication.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Horan, to approve the appointment of Marylou Andrews as an alternate on the Transportation Study Citizens’ Advisory Committee, MetroPlan Orlando, replacing Regina Bereswill until her return from an absence due to medical reasons.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS’ REPORTS

Commissioner Constantine advised that Sanford Airport Authority met last week and their numbers continue to be up above the past, and they continue to go through court on the condemnation proceedings.

--------

Commissioner Constantine announced that on Friday, August 16, the Leadership Board will meet at 10:00 a.m.

--------

Commissioner Constantine reported that also on Friday, August 16, his charity, Charity Challenge, will be giving away over $200,000 for the current year. He will report on that in the future. He commented that a number of charities have been designated this year in Seminole County and the Sanford area.

--------

Commissioner Constantine further advised that the Zoo will have their yearly event which is a pirate’s theme. It will be held at the Westin on August 17.

--------

Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Horan, to approve reimbursement of travel expenses by Commissioner Constantine and Commissioner Horan in connection with attendance at committee meetings held during the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) meeting scheduled for August 22 and 23, 2013.

Under discussion, Commissioner Horan stated that at the FAC Annual Meeting last month, he was appointed by the FAC Board to co-chair the Finance Tax Administration Committee, which is the committee that addresses the contribution for the Florida Retirement System (FRS). That committee, together with the task force on the home-rule fertilizer issue, of which Commissioner Constantine is co-chair, both meet at the same time as the FAC Strategy Conference that Commissioner Carey is attending.

Commissioner Carey stated that the location is in Clearwater and the FAC Board of Directors has a two-day strategy session regarding how they will move forward on the bigger-picture issues. There is also a meeting in September for policy board members.

Discussion ensued regarding the upcoming strategy meeting in September, another legislative decision meeting in November, and some agenda details of the August meeting. Upon inquiry by Chairman Dallari, Commissioner Horan replied that in a leadership position, there are four meetings per year to attend including the Annual Meeting, the Strategy Meeting, the Legislative Strategy Meeting, and the Legislative Decisions Meeting. Discussion continued regarding unfunded mandates, which are handled by the FAC Finance Tax Administration Committee, FAC’s effectiveness with regard to legislators on these issues, the Commissioners’ travel budget, and whether time spent with FAC activities is time well spent.

Chairman Dallari requested that each Commissioner compile a list on a yearly basis of anticipated travel for the current and upcoming budget year. They will then be submitted to Mr. Hartmann for inclusion in the budget. He advised the trip to New York for the bond rating meeting should also be included. There was further discussion regarding the travel policy and the 65-mile rule.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

--------

Commissioner Carey announced that Allegiant Air has a new fleet of airbuses coming into Orlando Sanford International Airport and they are in the process of training their pilots on the new airbus. This is an important hub for them and domestic travel has increased at great leaps and bounds, even during the bad time in the economy. They are looking at adding additional gates, and additional flights are being added all the time.

--------

Commissioner Carey stated that hopefully at the Budget Work Session on Thursday, August 15, the Commissioners will be prepared to give some pretty good direction as they try to finalize this budget. Mr. Hartmann confirmed there is also a Budget Work Session scheduled on August 27 after the BCC morning session to give any follow-up information that comes out of the workshop on August 15.

--------

Commissioner Horan stated he has been working with a number of constituents on different issues that he wanted to mention in case there is any input the Board can give his office. He listed some of these issues as follows: landscape maintenance in the U.S. Hwy. 17-92 corridor; permitting requirements for the placing of fill in wetlands areas; the Black Hammock area concerning safety issues relating to the eastern most reach of Florida Avenue; and water levels in lakes along Lake Drive. He also commended staff for their assistance on these matters and thanked the residents and businesses in the affected areas for calling these matters to their attention and being so cooperative in helping to address them.

--------

Commissioner Horan advised that in furtherance of his service on the Transportation Disabled Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) of MetroPlan, he attended last week the Transportation Disabled Best Practices Annual Meeting in Daytona Beach. He said he will be sending some materials presented at that conference to the Commissioners concerning issues that were addressed. In addition to the transportation-disabled issues, a number of other offerings were presented at the conference that addressed general issues including updating last year’s Moving Ahead for Progress of the 21^st Century (MAP21). He stated that wonderful presenters from all over the country provided some useful updates on best practices to address the ever-expanding and increasingly expensive public service of providing transportation to the disabled, which is the largest negative number that LYNX has to deal with. He hopes to report a little more in detail on what the TDLCB is doing. He will have to miss the TDLCB on Thursday, August 15 in order to participate in the budget workshop, but he will be briefing the staff on his recommendations on the TD Plan for the next five years, which will be addressed at that meeting. He will also report back to the Board and give an update.

COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT

Alan Wheeler, Public Works Director, addressed the Board to present an update on mowing cycles. He stated that on August 1 he sent out an email (copy received and filed) concerning the mowing cycles for Public Works and Leisure Services. He reviewed the “rough-cut” mowing cycles under Public Works including the contract RFP-600006-06; and the “fine-cut mowing” managed by Leisure Services, as outlined in his email.

Commissioner Carey opined she felt it is not so much a frequency issue but a quality issue and said it is not about mowing, but about weeding. She has received responses from Engineering that the contractor will address it, but that they will probably pull everything up and replant. She stated that is not the answer either and she believes they need to increase the quality control of the vendors to ensure they are doing what they are being paid to do.

Commissioner Horan questioned whether an adequate level of service is being provided regarding the number of times they mow for the amount they charge for it in the budget. Mr. Wheeler said if they went to a performance-based level, where the grass only gets to a certain height and then they mow it, he believes it would provide better service. He stated that if they went back to eight cycles a year, it would look better, which is what they did in 2008.

Commissioner Henley said he noticed that Sanford Avenue was being weeded today, and yesterday he spent a good amount of time with two constituents in his area that had complaints about the lack of mowing.

--------

Charlie Wetzel, Traffic Engineer, addressed the Board to present a PowerPoint Presentation entitled Fiber Network Connectivity Update. He reviewed a Brief History, a map of the Existing Fiber Network, the Proposed Expansion project and a map of the Proposed Expansion. He pointed out on the map that with the installation at Hunt Club Boulevard, Link #1, they can access the West Branch Library and Wekiva Elementary School. The other link of note is #12 at County Road 426. Engineering has a safety project starting at the end of this year on CR 426, and then as part of this MetroPlan project, they will install the actual fiber later. He said this will get fiber out to the Geneva area.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Horan, Mr. Wetzel advised there is a project next year for a small piece of CR 419 that is not shown on the map because it just shows what is being proposed through the MetroPlan project.

Mr. Wetzel displayed a chart regarding the Proposed Expansion listing the 12 links; their locations and lengths; whether fiber only, aerial or underground; the construction estimate per foot; and total cost. He reviewed Future Seminole County School Board (SCSB) Connections and Future County Connections, and discussed a map depicting all the future connections including 12 schools, 7 county facilities and 3 radio towers. He concluded his presentation with the timing and cost of fiber optic network connectivity in the county.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, David Muniz, Traffic Engineering, addressed the Board to advise that they have fiber installed at Seminole Wekiva Trail and Cross Seminole Trail which was put in prior to the moratorium.

Chairman Dallari explained that in 2006, there were a number of trees being cut down along the trail to run some utilities but the Board was not informed. So the Board put a policy in place that the trail would not be used as a utility corridor. He said they talked about changing that policy to enable them to put utilities in the trail rights-of-way because of the cost savings and other factors.

Commissioners Carey and Horan agreed they should agendize the item to relook at the policy and maybe change it but with conditions.

Commissioner Henley noted that in the presentation, it was stated over the years the County has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in connection fees due to the fiber network, and he wondered how much they have spent on fiber over the years. Mr. Wetzel stated that when they had the sales tax, they were spending $200,000 to $300,000 per year for upgrades and new pieces of fiber. Commissioner Henley said it would be interesting to know how much they are actually saving by providing fiber to different areas.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Horan, Mr. Wetzel said they make just $330,000 a year in revenues; half of that is from the School Board and a good percentage is from Seminole State College; the remainder is from the cities. Mr. Muniz discussed some partnering with the cities.

Commissioner Horan questioned regarding fiber installation whether there is a valid, correct or accurate reconciliation as to the return on investment. He noted that the School Board should be aware of projects so the line items in the School Board budget match up to fund those projects when they are needed. Chairman Dallari advised they have had conversations with School Board staff as well as a couple School Board members and those line items do exist.

Chairman Dallari explained that the reason this item is being discussed in great length is because the School Board over the next two years has a lot of requirements from the State regarding testing in the elementary and middle schools, and they need to be connected to be able to do their regional testing. Chairman Dallari noted that during the presentation, it was indicated due to the FDOT and MetroPlan 2015 work plan, part of this is being held up and cannot be funded, which he understands, but he would like to have the Board’s permission to speak to FDOT and MetroPlan to see about trying to move this up. The Board voiced no objections.

Commissioner Horan stated this is a very good presentation and he is glad it is in the public record. He opined that the other aspect on the facilities planning is exactly what Commissioner Henley brought up; the line items in the budget for computer hardware are going to be very important because the County can assist the School Board regarding fiber connectivity, but they need to have enough PC’s or laptops. Commissioner Henley added that at certain schools, all the computers that were in classrooms have been moved into the library so they can group test and therefore, they are losing the effectiveness of the computer program for testing again.

Chairman Dallari thanked Messrs. Wetzel and Muniz for their hard work on this and said it is quite an extensive fiber network.

COUNTY ATTORNEY’S REPORT

No report.

ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDA - Citizens

Lindy Freeman, 1617 Overlook Road, addressed the Board to state she is speaking today on behalf of two groups which overlap: the Board of the Homeowner’s Association of Myrtle Lake Hills and their “Good Water Committee”, which she co-chairs; and she said she liaisons between Seminole County staff and Myrtle Lake Hills HOA.

She stated their older community is in District 4. It was subdivided or platted prior to the passage of the law requiring developers to install water pipes before building homes. She met with Commissioner Henley regarding the problem she is here to talk about and wanted to publicly thank him for convening a large meeting of the Seminole County departments regarding this problem, which is terrible well water. She also expressed her appreciation to the County Manager, the Property Appraiser, and staff.

Ms. Freeman said their committee made personal visits to 118 well-water owners to see if there was sufficient interest to pursue creating an MSBU. Some owners had moved out of the community due to the lousy well water and long-time residents told them that the iron and other contaminants have increased to the degree that even costly systems can no longer make the water acceptable. They knew they would have to buy drinking water, but the excessive iron adversely impacts their lives. She said some wells have dried up altogether and last year one collapsed. They also do not have fire hydrants; they were told that firefighters can get water from the lake, but the lake dries up at intervals and one home has already burned to the ground. Their survey revealed they are short 9 to 11% of the 65% solid “yes” votes that they need for an MSBU.

Commissioner Henley stated he met with the committee on more than one occasion and he had staff meet with them and representatives of the CDBG, who indicated the community does not qualify for those types of aids. The cost is estimated at about $10,000 to $12,000 for each resident plus connection fees and interest. They had staff identify the size of the water lines and the closest source of water. The community has not been able to reach the 65% that is required. One of the problems is a lot of absentee owners and renters, and renters do not count. He said if he understands correctly, Ms. Freeman is asking for some kind of a grant or some assistance from the County.

Commissioner Carey stated it is an unfortunate problem and doesn’t just stem to Myrtle Lake Hills. That entire area was developed with well and septic tanks because there were no utilities out there and there are no plans for utilities. She suggested that staff get with Utilities, Inc. and some of the private providers to see what options they may have.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Horan, Andy Neff, Environmental Services Director, addressed the Board to state the group that would declare a public health issue would be the Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). He said there are grants available for contaminated wells and that is one of the pieces of advice staff gave the community. The County has done projects in the past to install potable water where wells were contaminated, but it has to be an actual contamination, it just can’t be poor quality water coming from the wells. That is the struggle the community is having.

Commissioner Carey stated they have had communities that have had serious health issues with wells and it took five years through a CDBG to provide water lines to those communities.

Ms. Freeman stated that every avenue has already been pursued. She advised that the City of Longwood made a very generous offer of paying more than half of the cost; they are offering to pay $630,000 over a five-year period and finance the rest at a phenomenal rate of interest, which is less than .2 of 1%. They are waiting to hear whether there is sufficient interest on the part of the community to proceed because there has to be a referendum and it would involve two communities. Chairman Dallari asked that staff gather information on the number of absentee homeowners, who voted for it and against it, an actual map of the area, and where the actual water districts are. He asked that they also reach out to the City of Longwood so they can fully understand that option as well.

Mr. Hartmann advised that Kathy Moore has been heading up the staff effort.

--------

Patrick Trevison, 235 Owl Haven Cove, addressed the Board to state that he and his wife recently purchased a home in Geneva. He said it is a substantial home with a guest house that is unoccupied. They have no intent of renting or leasing the guest house. He said because he has two dwellings on his property, he is told he has to pay two garbage bills.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Henley, Mr. Trevison advised the property is 9.3 acres.

Commissioner Horan apologized to Mr. Trevison for not getting back to his original inquiry and said he had been out of town due to a death in the family. He told Mr. and Mrs. Trevison that he will talk with them at the conclusion of the meeting.

--------

There being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 3:27 p.m., this same date.
