Ray
Hooper, Purchasing Manager, addressed the Board to request direction and
authorization to proceed with a contract agreement for Lake Mary Boulevard
Pedestrian Overpass at
Commissioner
Morris reported he had a conversation with the City Manager and they have not
had a meeting yet. In his
conversation with the City Manager, he thought it was worthy to pursue because
of the rationalization the City Manager made in the letter.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to
approve Alternative 1 (build two bridges concurrently totaling $7,318,000) as
identified in the staff report, under Contract DB-608-04, as shown on page
_______, with the condition that the City of Lake Mary will take over the
maintenance of the roof tops on both bridges.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Dallari asked if there are any provisions on the
bridges for the City or the County to put a signature plate telling what the
road is or the city the bridge is going through. Mr. McCollum advised that historically what staff has done
for the trails system is put it in without having the city’s name or logo.
Commissioner
Carey said she, too, was a little disappointed with the letter received because
this is really a safety issue. To
do nothing would not be the responsible thing to do. She reminded the Board that this started out with three
options from $2.9 million to $3.9 million and the Board selected the most
expensive one and now they are tying to come up with some economy of scales to
see if they could save some money for use.” She stated she would not be
supporting the motion because it is not appropriate and she doesn’t think it is
responsible.
Commissioner
Van Der Wide stated he has a little heart burn, not so much with the letter,
but that the newspaper had the Mayor’s comments. He thought it was completely unnecessary and not in line
with the way he would do things.
As he looked into this, the City of Winter Springs contributed over
$200,000 for the bridge they wanted.
He said considering the circumstances, that it was over budget.
Whereupon,
Commissioner Morris stated these two bridges are $700,000 under budget.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide continued that it was roughly $240,000 over budget and that is
basically what Winter Springs paid.
Mr.
Grace said Winter Springs understood that they were asking the Board to do more
than what was planned to do.
Mr.
McCollum stated this is a little different structure and had federal
allocation.
David
Martin addressed the Board to state the cost was approximately $900,000 over
the grant amount and that was split three ways between DOT, the County and
Winter Springs. The City’s
additional funding was based on a more decorative overpass than the other
possible selection.
Mr.
McCollum added these new overpasses will be built with the Second Generation
Sales Tax.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated it’s been pointed out to him that the overpasses are being
funded with sales tax money and it is under budget. He believes it is with Commissioner Carey’s insistence to
build more than one bridge at a time that brought it under budget. He said anytime they deal with the
cities, he has heart burn when they don’t work it out. He said upon further consideration,
even though he voted against this in the past, he is going to change his vote
and vote for the motion on the table.
He said he does think they need to work as much as possible with the
cities and other government entities to try to come up with something that
makes sense.
Commissioner
Carey said when she looked at the 2001 Generation Sales Tax, they have to
estimate for 10 years out, so $4 million is the estimate of the number to make
sure they have enough budgeted to cover.
She said Alternative 1 would not be in the budget if they had to acquire
any land, so if this were going to be a standard, all others would be over
budget. However, she understands
if there are funds left in sales tax, they would have more money to do more
trails, pedestrian overpasses and road projects. She said she is concerned that when they go to do the next
bridge and acquire right-of-way, they will not be under budget.
Commissioner
Morris thanked Mr. McCollum for building both bridges at the same time. He said for the money for the I-4 and
SR 434 bridge, the Commission talked to Congressman Mica and got it supported. They had three total bridges and in trying
to bring the District Commissioner along with the other four Commissioners, the
Board has accelerated the bridge over I-4 and Markham Woods. This is a planning process that the
present commission has done in the past.
He doesn’t think every project needs to be micro-managed. He thinks the Board is doing the right
thing. They have consistently
tried to build quality in this county.
These items were known by the voters. He said they are not going to have a shortfall. This particular project has been worked
on for seven years. They brought
in the cooperation of the City and School Board when, at first, it was over
their objections. They are seeking
the highest standards and they can do all those things when they have planned
appropriately.
Chairman
Henley said he thought they should have done Alternative 3, because it meets
the standard of safety. That was
what was put before the public.
There was nothing when they did the sales tax about aesthetics. He thinks the standing of the City has
shifted from safety to aesthetics.
He will never go for that from the standpoint of aesthetics only. He said he was going to vote against
this too. He had some
conversations with the City officials with regard to them taking over expenses
after that. He said he doesn’t
take well to ultimatums. It almost
forces him to vote against this because of the expressions heard. To refer, if it was quoted correctly,
to a $300,000 bridge as a chicken coop, he said you just simply don’t belittle
something like that. He doesn’t
care what the source of the money is.
In
Commissioner
Morris said the motion reflects a maintenance provision for both roofs. That would be the condition they would
move forward. He doesn’t think
they need to have an additional maintenance feature.
Districts
1, 2, 3 and 4 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Carey voted NAY.
Commissioner
Morris thanked Lake Mary Mayor Green, Deputy Mayor McClean and City Manager
Litton for coming today.

Chairman
Henley recessed the meeting at 9:59 a.m. and reconvened it at 10:10 a.m.

David
Gregory, Solid Waste Manager, addressed the Board to present request for
approval of an extraordinary rate adjustment for Republic Services, Waste
Management, Inc. and Waste Services of Florida for collection of
hurricane-generated waste; and approval of a Budget Amendment for same in the
amount of $399,656.
Mr.
Gregory advised FEMA has accepted the haulers’ requests and project worksheets
for the increase in tonage and are being processed. Only the incremental work beyond the regular pick up amount
is being recommended. He explained
this will not affect the solid waste collection rates.
Commissioner
Morris asked if all billings had been billed to FEMA, what percentage rate of
repayment are they at, and if additional action is needed with respect to
working with the federal representatives.
Mr.
Grace stated everyone across the State is frustrated with the slow
reimbursement process. He said
they may have to do more to see this through.
Ms.
Comings advised the County has billed approximately 90%; the bill was reduced
to about $46 million and the County has billed about $41 million, but only
received about $14 million. She
stated from the conversation she had last week, FEMA indicated there was some
backlog and, hopefully, they will see more funding in the next two weeks.
Mr.
Grace said he thinks the issue of that happened in
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Van Der
Weide, to approve the extraordinary rate adjustment requests to Republic
Services, Waste Management, Inc. and Waste Services of Florida for collection
of hurricane-generated waste; and adoption of Budget Amendment Resolution
#2005-R-141, as shown on page _______, in the amount of $399,656.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Morris reported regarding the discussion at the Budget work session about the
connector to the section where the Wekiva Trail drops off before it gets to the
Mr.
McCollum gave a PowerPoint presentation giving an update on the Seminole County
Trails Program. He showed slides
(copies received and filed in the staff report) and reviewed the following: Seminole County Trails Program Existing
and Funded Projects; Seminole Wekiva Trail; Cross Seminole Trail; Cross
Seminole Trail-Section 1; Cross Seminole Trail-Section 2; Cross Seminole
Trail-Section 3; Flagler Trail; Kewannee Trail; Other Special Areas; and
Funding.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Mr. McCollum advised the crossing at
Under
discussion of the trail going to the
With
regard to the Cross Seminole Trail, Commissioner Dallari said he thinks staff
should encourage some dialog with Orange County and generate a plan to see
about some funding in the future for the bridge across 426 and Howell Branch
Road.
Commissioner
Morris said the County did put in a request for some funding, but didn’t get
it. He referred back to the Wekiva
Trail and said the Cross Seminole Trail crosses the Florida Trail to
Commissioner
Carey said as a representative on the Wekiva Task Force, she thinks it is a
good idea to talk about that. She
said they have a meeting in September and should probably bring that up so
others don’t forget the County is trying to connect.
Commissioner
Morris discussed the trail going by the
Mr. McCollum stated any time they work with
open areas, they work with the Sheriff for enforcement.
Chairman
Henley stated he would hope so in the Big Tree area also since they are going
in with all the playground equipment for children.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide discussed that he has noticed in other states, when there is a
wide median like on SR 427, they put the trail right down the middle of the
medians.
Chairman
Henley said if they use the Ronald Reagan right-of-way, they could cut the cost
and speed the project up.
Commissioner
Morris advised in a meeting with City Manager Drago, there is a major problem
when they come to
Mr.
McCollum said that with regard to Section 3 of the trail, they originally
looked at coming down the Progress Energy Power easement. Under the current trail program, they
are putting in wider sidewalks to the library and to the schools. He discussed going to design and construction
and doing an 8’ sidewalk along
Commissioner
Morris said the alternative of acquiring the right-of-way would be shoe-horned
in and cause a little contention with the property owners.
Chairman
Henley asked staff to make sure to take into consideration the Soldiers Creek
Trailhead as they master plan the Five Points area.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. McCollum said on all new projects,
they are trying to go with 8’ sidewalks especially around schools. He said with the project coming in at
Midway, they have been adamant about something much higher than 8’. Discussion continued.

Melonie
Barrington, Traffic Engineer, addressed the Board to give a PowerPoint
presentation on the proposed Traffic Calming Program. Copy of the slide presentation was received and filed in the
staff report. Ms. Barrington introduced
Gary Carlin, Post Buckley Schuh & Jernigan.
Commissioner
Morris left the meeting at this time.
Gary
Carlin addressed the Board to cover the following topics: Introduction; Program Goals, Objectives
& Policies; Implementation Process Step One; Implementation Process Step
Two; and Traffic Calming Measures and Guidelines.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide said he likes the roundabout. He has seen a few of these and they do seem to work very
well. He wonders how much parking
they may end up losing.
Chairman
Henley said he thinks the citizens need to understand there are certain
standards that must be met before they are eligible for some of these devices.
Commissioner
Morris re-entered the meeting at this time.
Commissioner
Dallari said he did not see maintenance in the base line budget. Mr. Carlin answered him that
landscaping materials is included in the Other Construction budget line. Whereupon, Commissioner Dallari said
there should be something in for project landscaping. He is concerned they are giving folks the assumption that
maintenance will be assumed under that dollar figure.
Mr.
Carlin advised Commissioner Carey that the typical cost for these devices range
from $5,000 to $150,000.
Whereupon, Commissioner Carey said she doesn’t want people to think they
can come in and have five or six done a year. She said she is happy to hear there will be community
meetings and discussion.
Commissioner
Morris advised the City of Winter Springs has done a pretty aggressive program
in some of the more moderate neighborhoods; but the problem is that some of the
movements are too restricted. He
said you have to watch that because then you’re running over the curbs and
plants.
Mr.
McMillan advised the City of Winter Springs did file a plan challenge to the
plan amendments that implemented the Charter Amendment. They filed that to the Department of
Community Affairs (DCA). He
reported that yesterday, the County received dismissal of that action.

Henley recessed the meeting at 11:12 a.m., reconvening at 1:30 p.m., with all

and now.
Upon
inquiry by Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Hopper advised to his knowledge the
changes don’t affect the site plan.
Mr.
Hopper referred to Page 3, Paragraph J and stated this item is in reference to
the applicant submitting past due annual reports for the DRI prior to Final
Engineering. He stated staff has
received all of the annual reports and they would like to strike that from the

Anglim, Daly Design, addressed the Board to advise he is representing Centex
Homes. He stated he would like to
apologize for an error in the data regarding the minimum square footage on the

a desire for nothing to be on the side and it was modified on the final master
plan. An e-mail from Mr. Anglim
relating to the errors was received and filed.
Commissioner
Carey stated the problem she has is the applicant showed a minimum square
footage of 1,300 at the P&Z hearing as well as to her when he was in her

them will be two stories and the remainder will be one-story flats.
Commissioner
Carey stated she feels the applicant is trying to accommodate the community as
well as a good neighbor.
Commissioner
Morris stated he can understand the nature of this project in this
location. The medium home price is
$240,000 or more. He stated he
feels it is a reasonable project and he can vote for this project because of
the location.
Mr.
Anglim requested the Board to approve the request.

CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT
-------
Upon
inquiry by Chairman Henley, the Board advised that they received a copy of the
letter from Congressman John Mica relative to awards to this district on the
6-year transportation authorization bill.
-------
Chairman
Henley stated he received a request from Jake Stewart, MyRegion.org, asking the
Board to appoint a representative from
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide
to appoint Commissioner Carey as a representative from
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Commissioner
Carey stated she will be unable to attend this Friday’s meeting.
Commissioner
Morris stated he will include in the
motion to make the
appointment effective date as of September 1, 2005.
The
Board had no objections.
Commissioner
Morris stated Sally Sherman has been serving as the liaison for that Board.
-------
Chairman
Henley submitted an e-mail and copies of photographs (received and filed) from
B.L. Rainey relating to code violations in his neighborhood. He stated he doesn’t know if any of the
Board members have received any complaints about this and he wants them to see
the pictures that he has. He said
this is a daily event and the Code Enforcement officer for that area indicated
that it is not a violation in their code.

Chairman
Henley advised that the sidewalk work on

Chairman
Henley stated at the last meeting the Board tabled a motion of the Chairman’s
recommendation for compensation for County Attorney Robert McMillan. He stated his recommendation is
still the same with a 5% increase for the budget year coming up and no
compensation for the second year.
Commissioner
Carey stated she would like to offer an alternative motion. She said the attorney’s position is
at-will and by doing a 2005 increase and saying they will not do anything for
2006, she feels that they are indicating they are in a two-year contract. She added since the employees are being
offered a 4% increase, she would like to consider a one year of 4% and be
silent to the 2006 year at this time.
She stated she would not be supporting the motion that is currently on
the floor.
Chairman
Henley stated the motion on the floor is for a 5% increase effective on the
anniversary date and with no increase the second year, assuming he is still
with the County.
Motion by
Commissioner Van Der Weide to call the question.
District 3 voted AYE.
Commissioners Dallari,
Morris, Henley and Carey voting NAY, whereupon the motion died for lack of a
second.
Commissioner
Carey stated she wouldn’t be in favor of anything over 4%.
Chairman
Henley stated the Board has already tentatively agreed to 5% for the Supervisor
of Elections and significantly higher than 5% for the Sheriff’s budget.
Commissioner
Carey reviewed the
Mr. McMillan stated he had suggested 3% for
the prior years and he didn’t want anything more than what they budgeted for
County employees. He stated it
wasn’t a reflection on his performance but at his request. He said he told the Chairman that if
the Board would go to 5%, he would waive the increase for next year. He explained he is planning to go into
the DROP program at the end of the year and this would be worth more to him
this year.
Commissioner
Morris stated he does think there is a valid point of a two-year concern. He said Mr. McMillan is a contracted
professional employee and his contract can end without cause under the
provision to pay off. He stated 4%
is something the Board may think through and next year they can do another
motion.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated there is nothing controversial about this and he supports
the Chairman on this.
Commissioner
Morris stated he supports the Chairman in his own way.
Commissioner
Carey stated the maximum they have to offer the County employees is 4% and she
wouldn’t want to see anything more.
Commissioner
Morris withdrew his second to the original motion.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide withdrew his original motion.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Dallari
to approve the Chairman’s recommendation for a 5% increase in compensation to
County Attorney Robert McMillan, for this budget year with no increase in the
second year.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Dallari stated the issue he has with the motion is he
thinks they should be looking at it from a perspective as they have a contract
with the
Commissioner
Carey stated there is no contract with the
Mr.
McMillan clarified he does have a contract with the Board. It is a continuous contract and it
calls for an annual review.
Commissioner
Carey stated she hasn’t seen a contract.
She stated she has seen previous information about his goals and
objectives and they are almost verbatim from previous years. She added that he should have been a
“team player” and proactive all along.
Mr.
McMillan stated prior to 1994, the County Attorney worked for the County
Manager and he doesn’t think he has ever heard his involvement in the
organization being described as not being a team player.
Commissioner
Morris stated he believes this is inappropriate. The concept of the Board is sitting here in a public meeting
where the
Commissioner
Carey stated she thinks compensation is tied to evaluation, therefore, she will
not be supporting the motion.

DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS’ REPORT
Commissioner
Carey stated she would like the Board to be aware of the Golden Lyre Awards
scheduled for Saturday, August 20, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. at the Helen Stairs
Theatre.
-------
Commissioner
Carey informed the Board that the Seminole Soil and Water Conservation District
is having a river clean-up at the St. John’s/Lake Monroe area on Sunday, August
21, 2005 at 4:00 p.m. She stated
if anyone would like to join them, they can contact Michelle Thatcher at
407-321-8212.
-------
Commissioner
Carey stated the Central Florida Zoo is having their annual Black Tie on the
Wild Side at the Lake Mary Marriott on August 27, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. She stated she has some raffle tickets
as well.
-------
Motion by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide
to appoint Jeff Triplett, City of
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Carey to
appoint Tom Boyko, District 1; Richard Harris, At Large; and Jane Hammontree,
City of
Districts
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Commissioner
Dallari stated he knows that in the year 2008 the Federal Government will be
reducing the type of refrigerant in HVAC equipment that can be used and he
would like to know if the County has a Refrigeration Migration Plan.
Mr.
Grace stated he will check that out and get back to the Board on that.
-------
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like staff to check on the County logo.
Mr.
Grace stated staff has been reviewing that with the Department Directors and
they will be bringing that back to the Board at a later date.
-------
Commissioner
Dallari stated he has had discussions with Jim Weinberg relative to Beef
O-Brady’s restaurant about the impact fees for water and sewer, and he would
like for him to address his issues with the Board. He stated the type of restaurant that was built does not
have the amount of water that a typical restaurant uses and the impact fees are
quite high for a restaurant that doesn’t use all of those types of
facilities. He said he would like
to know if there is any avenue he can do to appeal the impact fees.
Mr.
McMillan stated he understood that there are alternative calculations for water
and sewer impact fees and how they are dealing with those.
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated if you look at the law, the County can adjust it up based
on the usage, but there isn’t anything in there that if the use has changed to
where they are not using the amount that they had, the County can adjust that.
Mr.
McMillan stated the alternative calculation is something they have been
discussing for a while.
Sally
Sherman, Deputy County Manager, addressed the Board to advised she has met with
Mr. Weinberg and they took a look at the issue. She stated what Mr. Weinberg is asking for, there are no
provisions in the ordinance at this time.
The fee structure that is in place is the original fee structure that
was adopted in the early 1980’s.
She said she is planning to review the ordinance further and then come
back to the Board with a complete overview. The fee structure is tied to a CUP and staff wants to take a
comprehensive look.
Mr.
McMillan stated they have to tie up a certain capacity based on the use by
virtue of DEP regulations and that is the impact on the system whether or not
the restaurant uses more or less.
The impact on the capital construction is whatever the gallons per day
is and that locks up the plan capacity.
Commissioner
Dallari stated the Code does say that alternate calculation methods will be
reviewed and it is silent about that and it should be addressed. Discussion ensued.
Mr.
McMillan stated he believes that Ms. Sherman is working on revisions with the
Environmental Services staff.
Commissioner
Morris stated the more appropriate thing is he hopes the Board is not going to
turn this into a review theater for complaints about the Code. The idea is to have staff review
this. Also, the District
Commissioner can get together with Mr. Weinberg and then make a recommendation
to the Board.
Commissioner
Dallari stated he would like staff to address that and then report back to the
Board.
-------
Commissioner
Dallari stated staff did a wonderful job on the budget process, but the one
thing that was not in it was the Seminole Soil & Water Conservation
District’s budget.
Mr.
Grace stated he noticed that the other day and he will get back to the Board on
that.
-------
Commissioner
Dallari stated there has been a lot of art being placed on the first floor of
the
-------
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Dallari to
appoint John Horan, City of Winter Springs; and Linda Dietz, District 2, to the
Charter Review Commission.
Under
discussion, Commissioner Morris stated he will have his third (at-large)
appointment at the next meeting.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Commissioner
Morris stated he had a great honor of being the commencement speaker to the UCF
graduates on August 6, 2005. He
stated it was a great experience.
-------
Commissioner
Morris announced that the Orange County Commission approved 5-1 a resolution
for light rail after three hours of debate and public comment. He stated Commissioner Bob Sindler was
the one who voted against the resolution.
-------
Commissioner
Morris stated he and Commissioner Carey had a meeting in the conference room
regarding the Eugene Gregory memorial.
He stated that meeting had a very quick and positive resolution and they
are going to try to work with the community and bring back something to the
Board.
-------
Commissioner
Morris stated he would like to congratulate Commissioner Dallari for
eliminating the paper agenda packet and replacing it with his laptop computer.
-------
Commissioner
Morris stated at the last meeting he asked for a report on canopy roads and he
has not seen it to date.
Don
Fisher, Deputy County Manager, addressed the Board to advise he doesn’t have a
date to report back, but he has met with Gary Johnson, Public Works Director,
to see if he can get the Public Works staff and Planning staff together. He stated he will meet with each Board
member to brief them on the recommendations.
-------
Commissioner
Van Der Weide stated he has visited the Public Works Department and he is very
impressed with staff’s cooperation with the work being done in the Little
Wekiva water basin.
COMMITTEE
REPORTS
No
report.
Mr.
Grace stated at the last meeting, the Board indicated they are interested in doing
a library survey by using Barcelo and Associates. The cost is $18,000 and what he would like to do is get with
each member to review the agreement and the scope that is being discussed.
-------
Mr.
Grace stated staff is trying to get together the many information requests that
came out of the budget work sessions last week. He stated other major issues will be presented to the Board
at the next meeting.
-------
There
being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the meeting
adjourned at 3:05 p.m., this same date.
