COUNTY ATTORNEY’S CONSENT AGENDA

Robert McMillan, County Attorney, addressed the Board to advise that Item #36 is the resolution recodifying the Administrative Code. He stated he wanted to re-emphasize that they took the existing policies the Board adopted formally by resolution and those that were not adopted by resolution, but should have, and included them in there. The specific direction the County was operating under was that they were not going to review them to change them, modify them because they wanted to get them in one place first to set the base line. Once that has been adopted, then any changes or modifications will need to be brought back to the Board.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. McMillan advised every department has been bringing in their own policies. He stated his office has set up a process where anyone wanting to make a policy change will do that by resolution. Changes or recommendations need to be forwarded to the County Manager’s office. He stated his office will be the keeper of the document and they will be reviewing the format to make sure it is done by resolution.

Chairman Henley stated he is hoping the Board could have a work session on this and then a meeting will be scheduled for adoption with the recommended changes.

Mr. McMillan stated he would like to acknowledge the following working group that was put together in reviewing all of the documents: Lola Pfeil, Meloney Lung, Stephanie Kobrin and Kim Patterson. He also acknowledged Kent Cichon.

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

REGULAR AGENDA

Meloney Lung, Support Services, addressed the Board to seek authorization to negotiate for land located near the Five Points area (Parcel #22-20-30-300-0060-0000) for future expansion. She stated the property is currently under contract and Michael Harrison, General Growth Management, has until November 24, 2005 to close on the property. Staff has contacted him and he has offered to assign that contract for a fee of $150,000. It will cost the County $1.65 million to purchase the property to date.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Lung advised the property owner went under contract on July 24, 2005.

Chairman Henley stated he doesn’t have a problem authorizing negotiations but may have a problem with the $150,000 additional payment. Discussion ensued.

Commissioner Morris stated he feels the Board should know every detail.

Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Morris to authorize staff to negotiate with General Growth Management for land located near the Five Points area (Parcel #22-20-30-300-0060-0000) for future expansion.

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

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Grace advised the automobile dealership is the property that they have been discussing over the last couple of months. He stated there are monies programmed in the budget for land acquisition for the upcoming year.

Commissioner Morris stated he finds it curious that the County has had discussions with the property owner and then he goes under contract with someone else.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. McMillan advised there is no way the Board can discuss acquisition of properties outside of a Sunshine meeting.

Commissioner Morris stated the same situation happened on the Courthouse citing location and the price went up. He stated if the County feels an acquisition is negotiable, they need a first-right refusal contract.

Mr. McMillan left the meeting at this time.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Grace advised he has not had any conversations with the property owner, but he believes Ms. Croteau and Ms. Lung have had discussions with him.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated if the intent of the Board is to research other properties, he doesn’t believe they need to wait until next year’s budget because there are reserves.

Mr. Grace stated staff is pursuing, per Board’s direction, to purchase those properties. There is enough money in the budget to purchase one of the properties, but they will have to come up with more money to pursue the other property.

Mr. McMillan reentered the meeting at this time.

Commissioner Morris stated the Board is desirous on one piece of property and staff is desirous for the other property and they moved forward on that one but not this one. He asked for a report at the next meeting of all discussions relating to the other property owners.

The Chairman recessed the meeting at 10:05 a.m., reconvening at 10:13 a.m., with all Commissioners present.

COUNTY MANAGER’S BRIEFING

Mr. Grace stated he is seeking Board direction on a number of budget-related items. He stated the first item is a Summary of Budget Changes which focuses on the General Fund and the Transportation and Stormwater Funds. He added he doesn’t need any action today from the Board.

Mr. Grace explained for Commissioner Dallari the Five-Points Master Plan was eliminated from the 2006 Budget because it is in the current year budget.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Grace advised the Public Safety building security system was delayed for one year. It will be in the 2007 budget year.

Mr. Grace stated the Midway Safe Harbor is asking for $50,000 to help support that program. A letter from Dede Schaffner, Midway Safe Harbor Advocate, requesting support was received and filed.

Chairman Henley stated he spoke to Ms. Schaffner about this and it is a tremendous addition to the community and it is more successful than anticipated. He stated he would like the Board to have an opportunity to hear and see what is happening in that community with the partnership between the School Board and the County. He added he feels a presentation from Midway Safe Harbor is appropriate.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve $50,000 to help support the Midway Safe Harbor; and to allow Safe Harbor to update the Board on same.

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

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Grace advised the Seminole Soil & Water Conservation District is requesting funds in the amount of $48,700 for FY 2005/2006 and $55,000 in 2006/2007 and he would like to know if the Board would like to add that to next year’s budget. Letter from Seminole Soil & Water Conservation District was received and filed.

Commissioner Dallari stated he doesn’t have a problem with putting it in.

Chairman Henley stated he has a problem with the amount that is being requested. He stated this is a new organization and he doesn’t want to create another organization that is dependent on the County for funds. He said he supports $25,000 but he doesn’t see the necessity for the increase.

Commissioner Carey stated she thinks the organization is doing a good job and they are getting funds from a lot of different sources. She added that they are much more active now than they were in the past.

Chairman Henley stated he recognizes that and that is why he supports $25,000.

Commissioner Dallari asked in order for the Board to get a better feel for keeping their nose to the grindstone, would they have any objections to hearing a presentation from them.

Commissioner Morris stated he understands Chairman Henley’s concerns, but he feels this organization has done a remarkable turnaround. He suggested approving $48,700 for the first year and then have them report back.

Chairman Henley stated there have been a number of organizations that started out doing well until they started getting government funds and then they stopped going to the community for support.

Commissioner Carey stated she is willing to support the funding, but she would like to have an annual report.

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Morris to approve the first year funding amount of $48,700 to the Seminole Soil & Water Conservation District.

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

Commissioner Henley voted NAY.

Mr. Grace reviewed the Sheriff Stabilization Reserve Fund as outlined in the agenda memorandum. He stated he and Sheriff Eslinger agreed that the reserve level should not exceed $3 million in any given year.

Commissioner Morris stated he recognizes the good work the Sheriff has done. He stated he would like to see an estimate of what capital programs he may have that are upcoming.

Chairman Henley stated there are other needs out there. The Board is going to look at the potential of raising the utility tax by 4% and $2 million has been set aside for the jail expansion. The reason the $1.6 million was set aside was because of the agreement the County Manager made with the Sheriff’s Office that his budget wouldn’t go beyond the increase in revenue. The Sheriff’s budget has increased 7.8% and he asked for the rest of it to be set aside for stabilization. If the Board is in agreement to that, then they will face the same thing next year. He stated it is hard for him to increase taxes by 4% when they have $1.6 million not being used but may be used in the future. He said he doesn’t think this is the responsible way to go about it when they have needs in this community. He added the County Manager made that agreement with the Sheriff without authorization from the Board.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he remembers authorizing the County Manager to deal with the Sheriff relative to working out something so the Board could have a better handle on the escalation of the Public Safety budget in general. He stated the Sheriff could have used that whole figure but he would like some of it set aside for future needs.

Commissioner Morris stated the County’s tax rate is the 10th lowest of the 67 counties in the State of Florida. This County specializes in not spending money, but the issue is the infrastructure is needed. He stated he believes Mr. Grace did explain to this Board what the negotiations were going to be with the Sheriff. This Board may not have made a proactive vote, but they did not object. The issue needs to be defined and he made a stab at defining it. The Board needs to have a better plan going into year two.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated there are a tremendous amount of people in the County that would appreciate a tax break. There are certain things that need to be funded and the Board will fund them as they have in the past.

Chairman Henley stated Mr. Grace did what he agreed to do. He stated he expressed himself to Mr. Grace about how he felt. He said he wants the public to understand what the Board is trying to do relative to setting aside monies for future needs. There are needs from other communities as well.

Commissioner Carey stated the County has not seen a 12.8% revenue increase in a number of years. The County will probably have another windfall next year, but they are already starting to see a slow down. Stormwater is a major issue in her district and they need to be prepared for that as well. They need to use the funds they have to fix some of those problems instead of adding another tax.

Commissioner Morris stated the one thing they need to keep in mind is when they talk about an increase in revenue that the vast majority of the taxpayers are under the “Save our Homes” Act of 3%. The County has had prudent physical management, good growth, and managed growth, and if they keep up with the infrastructure they will be doing better than a decade ago.

Mr. Grace explained for Commissioner Morris how they increased the budget growth and dedicated funding source built in the fund.

Commissioner Morris stated if the Board completed the budget, it would look substantially different than what the County Manager provided. If the growth in revenue is 12% next year, then 1% would go directly into this fund.

Commissioner Dallari stated it is important the County goes into the existing communities to retrofit them.

Mr. Grace reviewed the Salary Adjustment Program for Employees. He stated he outlined a few options for the Board to consider.

Commissioner Dallari stated he doesn’t have a problem with the total amount of money, but he has a problem with the allocation.

Mr. Grace explained for Commissioner Dallari how they address salaries and hourly rates. He stated the one thing the Board could do is go with what the Sheriff has done (per dollar amount per employee as their increase).

Chairman Henley stated the one thing that he has harped on for years is the way they allocated the funds based upon the merit system. He stated he doesn’t know if they can do anything drastic right now, but it is something they need to undertake. One of the ways to try to see the gap not go any broader is something that deserves more attention.

Mr. Grace recommended that the Board go with one of these four options so it can be implemented on time for October 1, 2005, and then use the compensation class study to address the salary adjustment program.

Commissioner Carey stated she is interested in seeing a true-merit system. She stated she doesn’t support a 3% across-the-board increase as it is not fair for those that are working hard and being an outstanding employee.

Commissioner Morris stated the Board has had extended debates every year on the issue of true-merit pay. He stated it was always too late to implement it and a study was going to be done. There is a thinking process with government that says you can’t do it a different way.

Mr. Grace stated he feels they should look toward mid-year to have this study completed.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. McMillan advised bonuses are excluded from compensation. He stated the main issue for bonuses previously was that they were illegal. He said the County had bonuses at one point and that was with Fleet. It was based on performance measures of the amount of trucks serviced.

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Morris to utilize Option #3, an approach similar to the Sheriff (fixed dollar amount raise), excluding department heads and above.

Under discussion, Chairman Henley stated the intent is not bonuses but be added to the base salary.

Mr. Grace stated the division managers and department directors have contracts with the County Manager and they are at-will employees. He stated he would suggest not excluding management from that.

Mr. McMillan stated all of his staff members are at-will employees.

Commissioner Dallari stated for Directors making over $60,000 a year, the percentage for them will be more than those employees making $20,000 to $30,000 a year.

Mr. McMillan stated there are a lot of professional employees who are not management employees but are at high- salary levels and those are sometimes the hardest to recruit.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he would hate to see this Board start making rules and policies on the fly without a lot of background or study done. He stated he is not in favor of upsetting the apple cart without thinking it through, but he would be in favor of having a study to see where their employees are.

Commissioner Morris stated he would have to agree with Commissioner Van Der Weide. He stated the only thing they should do is to set a policy based upon how the system works.

Commissioner Dallari stated he will withdraw his motion.

Commissioner Morris withdrew his second.

Chairman Henley stated he would prefer implementing what they did last year at this time with the study to be brought back to the Board for further consideration.

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris to approve the County Manager’s recommendation, Option 2, of reinstituting the program authorized by the Board for FY 05, which is also an overall 4% budget level.

Under discussion, Commissioner Carey stated she doesn’t have a problem supporting the motion. However, she stated she wants this item to come back to the Board.

Commissioner Dallari stated he will not be supporting the motion as he feels they should take some action now to try to address the lower rank and file. He stated he feels that 2.5% is something more for those getting more pay than those who are not. Discussion ensued.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he feels the Board should move forward with the motion on the floor. He stated he doesn’t have a problem with Commissioners Carey and Dallari coming up with something else that makes sense.

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris to call the question.

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

The Board voted upon the main motion with Districts 2, 3, 4 voting AYE. Commissioners Dallari and Carey voted NAY.

Chairman Henley stated the only comment he has regarding salaries is the County has more money this year than other years. He stated other jurisdictions are giving sizeable raises, but that is a result of not doing anything for several years. The County has some good people who work for them and they need to recognize them. He said he is not sure if the County is rewarding their employees monetarily and expressing enough appreciation for the effort they are putting forth. He hopes the Board could stay in a competitive mode and continue to motivate their employees to perform at the highest level.

Commissioner Carey stated she feels it is critical to have a study and she would like to find out a more equitable way to reward those who are really performing.

Chairman Henley stated he hopes the Board will have an opportunity to review the study before it goes out so they can have an idea of what is being studied.

Don Fisher, Deputy County Manager, reviewed a summary of the Information Technology’s Budget Changes (Reductions and Additions). He stated staff met with Microsoft and they provided preliminary cost estimates. Microsoft has indicated that they can accomplish a complete migration to Outlook in about four months and the high-end cost would be $760,000. Staff is recommending that, since they have not been able to provide all of the information to Microsoft, the Board not take any action and staff will come back during the first meeting in September for some type of a final consensus.

Commissioner Morris stated Microsoft said that if the County can figure how they do things, they would probably be able to use more efficiently with what they currently have. He stated the problem was the short time frame of the Board requiring staff to come back with a presentation. If the County would take their version of a conservative estimate for half of the original projection, they will do this work within four to six months. The County has a vendor who wants to work closely with them and maybe they can invite them instead of bringing in third party consultants. The issue is the Board is being asked to reject staff’s original proposal and then have staff work over the next few weeks to obtain all the information they need to enter into a contract. Lastly, then commence that contract by October 1 so that the migration is accomplished by March.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to abandon the proposal that is before the Board for migration to Outlook and instruct staff to move towards a negotiated contract to accomplish the goal with Microsoft.

Under discussion, Commissioner Morris stated staff may need the flexibility of obtaining other vendors that have done this at a lower rate.

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

Mr. Fisher reviewed the New Roadway Landscaping Program as outlined in the agenda memorandum. He reviewed the criteria of defining a Gateway Corridor, the criteria for defining a Landscaped Corridor (Non-Gateway), those roads that would be Gateway Corridors and those roads that would be Landscaped Corridor.

Mr. Fisher explained for Commissioner Dallari why they are removing all of the limerock.

Commissioner Carey addressed concerns relative to irrigation.

Mr. Fisher stated he will have those answers when they bring it back to the Board for the final proposal.

Commissioner Morris stated staff is contemplating someone being recruited from outside who is capable of handling this and they don’t have to be a horticulturist.

Mr. Fisher stated staff hasn’t decided whether it will be someone being recruited from the outside or it may be an internal candidate. He stated staff will bring the information back at the Budget’s final adoption.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Fisher advised staff is anticipating beginning this program now if they get consensus from the Board.

Commissioner Morris stated most of the work had been done by private contractors and some of them were not being held accountable when they did not maintain the area. If they recruit someone from outside the County, he hopes they will put that person in a department that will function properly.

Mr. Grace reviewed the Stormwater/Public Service Utility Tax as outlined in the agenda memorandum. He stated if the Board wants to go with this, staff will bring the implementing ordinance back for consideration next month.

Commissioner Carey stated she would not be in favor of an additional tax unless it was revenue neutral. She stated she would like to look at a Regional Stormwater Authority working with the cities.

Mr. Grace stated at some point the Board is going have to address an unincorporated revenue source for stormwater. He stated if the Board does it to the degree of countywide dollars, they are going to have double taxation issues.

Chairman Henley stated he would like to suggest that they delay any action on this request so they can allow the Joint City/County Committee take an opportunity to review this further. He stated the joint staff members from each jurisdiction came out with a matrix and they have requested other information that is going to be quite revealing as to the amount of tax dollars in trying to solve this problem.

Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Chairman Henley stated he is recommending that the Board delay action on this at this time to give the Joint City/County Committee more time to review.

Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Morris to delay action on the Stormwater/Public Service Utility Tax issue.

Under discussion, Commissioner Morris stated the Board will probably see this issue back in October. He stated Mr. Fisher is coordinating the efforts of the Joint Subcommittee and they were instructed at the last meeting to go back and seek additional information, develop more concepts, and expand their vision on the recommendations that is to be brought back to the full Committee.

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

Mr. Fisher reviewed the Wilson’s Landing Retreat Renovation and Expansion Project. He gave an overview of the existing space and additional amenities of Option 1 and Option 2. He stated if the Board decides to move forward with renovating the building on site, he would recommend a new master plan be done and that staff get in touch with the community and the Natural Lands Committee to obtain feedback on the new conceptual plan.

Commissioner Carey stated she did an extensive tour with staff and the consultants of Wilson’s Landing and of Cypress Grove in Orange County. This is a place where people could have meetings and family reunions, etc. She stated based on the scenario that this could be a eco-friendly facility, it could be expanded to be a location where they would have something for the citizens. There is money available in the Natural Lands Fund and that could be used to do the renovation. She added this is a beautiful location and with the expansion, she would support Option 2.

Mr. Fisher stated if the Board agreed to pursue the facility, staff would recommend, depending on the final uses, that they split the funding from the Natural Lands and some portion from the General Fund.

Commissioner Dallari left the meeting at this time.

Commissioner Carey stated she feels that this project would be a park that the entire County could enjoy.

Commissioner Morris stated he sees a need and some of the advantages to it, but he cannot support it. He stated the County had a list of properties that they were going to buy, and they had a driven policy to buy everything in the rural areas and not preserve any natural lands in the more urban areas. The Board changed that direction because the State was acquiring the areas along the Wekiva, St. Johns, and the Econ River. The County was spending local money when they were not leveraging their monies properly with the State and Federal authorities. They have a list of projects that have sat to where nothing has occurred at all and they can’t spend the money. He stated he does not think this project is the source of funds for something like this. He said he feels that the grant mechanisms should be reviewed.

Chairman Henley stated he feels this is a beautiful piece of property and that was one of the things that led them into buying it. The Board has had extensive discussions about the amount of use that should be allowed on this property. There was talk about putting in launching/landing sites and concession stands and the Board did not approve it. He stated he cannot support using Natural Lands money to develop this site. He said he has great reservations changing the process on these lands that they buy and then they start developing them. He added that he would like to see the Board take care of needs before wants.

Commissioner Carey stated this is not in a rural area but in a developed area. This park shares an entrance with a subdivision. It is high and dry land and it happens to be on the Wekiva River. The County has already spent money building a facility such as a dock and bathrooms. There is no reason why people would go to this park because they cannot do anything when they get there. The Natural Lands Committee felt that it would be wonderful to turn this facility into something that the citizens can use.

Chairman Henley stated the one reason the County bought this park was to keep it from being developed. The County has been trying to purchase all of the properties abutting the river so they can control and protect the Wekiva River.

Commissioner Dallari stated he feels the Natural Lands fund should be used for buying land and not for developing it.

Commissioner Morris stated this is not a high traffic area. This type of project is ultimately something that could or should be done. However, he feels it should be brought forward that uses the full bank of resources.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he would suggest that the Board direct staff to pursue the project on this property. He stated he believes he is hearing that some people do not want natural lands developed with natural lands money.

Commissioner Carey stated she would hope staff would be able to find where the funding sources will come from. She stated she would like consensus from the Board to keep this as a project and direct staff to come up with other funds to accommodate it.

Commissioner Morris stated he feels it would be helpful for them to see the park needs issue and then run down the long list of active parks.

Commissioner Carey stated other rural lands have been developed natural lands monies. She stated she feels that staff can figure out where to find the money. She added she would like to keep this project moving forward.

Chairman Henley stated he would need consensus from the Board to move toward building this type of thing. If so, they need to direct staff to look for the funds.

Commissioner Carey stated the Board can direct staff to come up with some funding of what may be available.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he has no problem going along with that.

Chairman Henley stated he doesn’t believe this is a high enough priority to put this type of facility out there when there are other needs in the community.

Commissioner Morris stated when the County acquired some of the properties, they held them in trust until such time they worked through a priority list and then did them.

Commissioner Carey stated the Board didn’t have a problem putting the community swimming pool in the budget.

Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he believes there is consensus to direct staff to look into finding monies for this project.

Commissioner Dallari stated it is a good idea but there are other needs in the County. He stated if the Board is asking to put this on the priority list, he will support it. If it comes to the top they will fund it.

Commissioner Morris stated he will support that. The Board had no objections to placing this on the priority list for review.

-------

The Chairman recessed the meeting at 12:15 p.m., reconvening at 1:30 p.m., with all Commissioners and all other Officials, with the exception of Deputy Clerk Eva Roach, who was replaced by Deputy Clerk Sandy McCann, who were present at the Opening Session.

He further advised the sixth and final phase of the small business park will allow up to 15 businesses and represent the build-out of the Port. He reported that in Section 5 of the budget a transfer of $300,000 to the County is projected in January 2006. He said the Board of Directors is asking that the BCC consider using $150,000 of that transfer to fund activities of small business development and the other $150,000 for the Jobs Growth Trust Fund.

Commissioner Van Der Weide congratulated Mr. Dolgner on the great job he has done at the Port. He said the BCC appreciates the $300,000; and in talking with Mr. Dolgner, he is proposing a shift with an additional $50,000 going to the Small Business Development Center. He further said more good news is that Mr. Dolgner is projecting increasing the $300,000 transfer for next year to at least $500,000.

Under discussion, Commissioner Carey stated she had the opportunity to serve on the Port Authority Board for 10 years and believes Mr. Dolgner is doing a great job.
