COUNTY MANAGER’S BRIEFING
NORTHWEST SERVICE AREA REUSE MASTER PLAN
Robert Adolphe, Environmental Services Director, addressed the Board to introduce Joan Jackson and Ed Tallent of Post Buckley Schuh and Jernigan, Inc.
Joan Jackson addressed the Board to display and review the following slides of the Northwest Service Area Reuse Master Plan and Implementation Strategy: Map of the Northwest Reuse Service Area; the Board’s Decision and Guidance; What is Meant by Reuse; the Benefits; the Existing Systems of the Greenwood Lakes Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) and the Northwest Regional WRF.
Ms. Jackson continued by reviewing slides relative to the Typical Irrigation Demand Variations; Reclaimed Water Supply Projection, MGD; New Reuse Possibilities; Buildout Reuse Demand, MGD; and Reuse Alternative Costs of the Different Options.
Ms. Jackson explained for Commissioner Morris what the available supply (50%) means as outlined on the Buildout Reuse Demand slide. Discussion ensued relative to the actual cost of building the system and the private utilities.
Ms. Jackson continued by reviewing the 2020 System for the Northwest Reclaimed Water; Alternative A Phasing Plan; Financial/Rate Impacts; and the Conclusions and Recommendations. She advised they recommend Alternative A phasing plan. The Seminole County Northwest Service Area Reuse Water Plan and Implementation Strategy booklet was received and filed.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Morris, Bob Briggs and Cindy Hall relative to where the remaining amount of $8.85 million will come from. Ms. Hall advised she can submit an analysis of the work that Post Buckley has done and submit her recommendations by the next Board meeting.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Adolphe advised the analysis that is done through the year 2003/2004 will just about meet the present system. He stated the system would not be expanded into the 2008/2009 range unless it was driven by development, in which case it would be user connection fees and a wastewater flow.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLain, Ms. Jackson advised the issue of disposing wastewater was not included in the study.
Commissioner McLain stated he feels they need to move forward with a reasonable Alternative A Prime and to come back with answers to their questions. He said he feels that these questions need to be answered as the County has a responsibility to provide reuse water because it is friendlier to the environment and it is less expensive for the consumer. With this program, they will anticipate continuing the reuse water system for vegetation along International Parkway rather than zeroscape type landscaping. He added he feels that staff has done a good job on this and the County has a responsibility to continue to support the reuse system. Therefore, he supports staff’s recommendation of Alternative A Prime.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Ms. Jackson advised they have not decided on the wells and the ones they have looked at would be on northwest regional facility and those would be used for a short period.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he feels that is something that needs to be considered.
Commissioner Maloy stated he feels that this makes a lot of sense but there should be a better understanding of who is going to sign up on this system. He stated he would like to know if the water and sewer rates are going to stay the same.
Mr. Grace stated staff needs to come back to the Board with more answers and more data.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner McLain to authorize staff to proceed with implementation of the Reuse Master Plan Alternative A Prime.
Under discussion, Commissioner Morris requested staff to report back to the Board relative to why the recharge areas on the commercial land on the northwest portion of Rinehart Road and the commercial, professional and office space along the north side of Lake Mary Blvd. were not included in the study.
Mr. Adolphe stated staff will look at these issues and report back to the Board.
Commissioner Morris stated he would also like to know if this is an expandable system. He stated he would not support this proposal if this is not an expandable system. He said he would urge staff to report back on what the additional cost will be.
Commissioner McLain stated he would support oversized lines.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Mr. Adolphe advised there is no staff position for a reuse coordinator at this time.
Commissioner McLain stated he feels it is clear that the Board is directing staff to move forward with the least cost program for reuse and to come back with the answers to their questions. He stated the Board is not authorizing any new positions at this point.
Commissioner Morris stated he would support the motion maker, but he would not be in favor of spending more money on a system that is not expandable. He stated he would like to know what kind of communication staff has had with the Cities of Sanford and Lake Mary as to what they are planning to do.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Mr. Grace stated staff will not try to bring this item back at next week’s meeting, but will bring it back at a later date.
Commissioner Van Der Weide left the meeting at this time.
FY 1999/2000 BUDGET UPDATE
Cindy Hall, Fiscal Services Director, addressed the Board to review the following issues for Board consideration: an information item relative to unincorporated funding versus countywide funding; tipping fee reduction, reallocation of General Fund reserves; and negotiations to purchase the Shenandoah property. She reviewed an analysis of the General Fund and Transportation Trust Fund of the road paving program and the stormwater program. She stated the County maintains about 182 miles of City roads, about 50 stormwater ponds, and about 5.7 miles of ditches, and payment for those are coming out of the Transportation Trust Fund. A number of the projects in the unincorporated area are being funded from the General Fund and Transportation Trust Fund.
Commissioner Van Der Weide reentered the meeting at this time.
Ms. Hall stated the State recognizes that the County has countywide responsibilities and 60% of the sales tax revenue would be attributed to unincorporated sales tax. The County has a countywide millage that goes into the Transportation Trust Fund, and the utility tax also goes into the Transportation Trust Fund. She reviewed the following types of revenue that go in the Transportation Trust fund: 2 cents for the constitutional gas tax brings in under $3 million, 6 cents for the local option gas tax brings in about $6 million, and the unincorporated collection utility tax brings in about $5.6 million and $2.5 million of that is transferred to the Fire Fund. In addition to those gas taxes, about $1.1 million of County gas tax is collected countywide. A municipal tax is also collected and that goes to the cities. She stated the Board has a great deal of flexibility of deciding how to use the funding of these funds.
Commissioner Maloy left the meeting at this time.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Ms. Hall advised next year’s funding for stormwater is about $4.5 million from a variety of payback sources that are flowing into the Transportation Trust Fund.
Upon further inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Jerry McCollum, County Engineer, addressed the Board to advise the County, by law, has to maintain the minor arterial roads even if they are in the cities.
Commissioner Maloy reentered the meeting at this time.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he attended a meeting with the Council of Mayors and the Mayors gave direction to the County Manager to research that issue and to come back with a finding.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Mr. McCollum advised there was a certain amount of money that the County was going to put on Central Parkway when it was built. He stated in theory, the City of Altamonte Springs paid for Montgomery Road, from Central Parkway up to SR 436, and the County paid from Central Parkway to SR 434. He added Montgomery Road has been turned over to the City of Altamonte Springs.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner McLain relative to how much of the revenue from the Sheriff’s budget come from city residents, Ms. Hall advised the number of residents is divided 51% city and 49% unincorporated, and the average tax base is about 50-50. The Sheriff’s budget is around $42 million.
Commissioner McLain stated he would like staff to provide him with information as to how much of the Sheriff’s budget would be reduced if the Board moved forward in eliminating the Cities from providing funding for the Sheriff’s Department. He said he also would like a thorough evaluation of the budget and how it deals with different issues of double taxation. He stated he would like that done before the final public hearing so that the Board can address how much revenue shortfall the County would have with these services they provide over the double taxation issue.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Mr. Grace advised the law enforcement double taxation issue was raised at the Council of Mayors meeting and the majority of the people did not indicate that they would like to pursue that issue, other than Mayor Lovestrand, City of Longwood. He stated there were a number of issues brought up and he will bring them to the Board at a later date.
-------
Ms. Hall stated staff is proposing a 50-cent tipping fee reduction. She stated the Environmental Services Division felt that a 50-cent reduction would be appropriate.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to authorize making the appropriate budget changes at the second public hearing reflecting a 50-cent reduction in tipping fees.
Under discussion, Commissioner McLain stated he feels there is more room for a substantial reduction and he will be discussing this at the Budget public hearing.
Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Ms. Hall advised the reserves would be around $16 million after the reduction of 50 cents.
Commissioner Morris stated he would like each Board member to receive individual briefing on the tipping fee reduction prior to the public hearing.
Commissioner McLain stated he would have to disagree with the proposed budget. He stated he recommended during the work session a $5 million reduction to the taxpayers. He said he would prefer staff coming up with a formula for that issue. The Board may want staff to come forward with a proposal, including the $5 million savings to the taxpayers, as an alternate plan instead of him bringing up issues that he wants eliminated from the budget.
Chairman Henley recommended staff get with Commissioner McLain and come up with several scenarios and to brief the Board on those issues.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Ms. Hall reviewed the issue of reallocating General Fund reserves. She stated if the Board approves the tentative budget as it is presented at the first public hearing tomorrow night, there will be about 3.5% General Fund reserve and that will free up $595,000. She stated staff is requesting that any amount of money over and above that 3% level go towards the increased health insurance premiums and to use the balance to assist in purchasing the Shenandoah property.
Commissioner Maloy stated this is the first time he has seen the request on this property and he would be more comfortable if he had more information on it.
Cindy Coto, Deputy County Manager, addressed the Board to advise three options based upon the recent negotiations with the two providers and they will be presented to the Board at the 9/28/99 meeting. The cost impacts of those three options range from an increase in the budget of $125,000 to a decrease in the budget amount of $124,000. It depends on which option the Board takes and that will determine whether or not the County has savings in the existing health premiums or if there will be an increase.
Mr. Grace stated the health insurance issue will be on next Tuesday’s agenda.
Ms. Coto advised staff has become aware that the Central Florida HANDS has acquired the Shenandoah property and staff has had discussions with them relative to what their intentions were relative to that property. The Central Florida HANDS acquired that property with the intention to rehabilitate the units for low-income housing. The Central Florida HANDS is in the process of obtaining funding from the Orange County Housing Authority for the funds to restore the units. Central Florida HANDS has indicated if the County is interested in acquiring this property for future growth, they would be willing to sit down and discuss the acquisition with staff. She stated staff is seeking authorization from the Board to discuss the acquisition of this property and to bring back the results of those discussions.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide, Ms. Coto advised the property consists of 10.22 acres and there are 98 units on the site. The appraised value is $1.9 million in its present condition.
Commissioner Morris stated he would be concerned if the Board did not move forward on this acquisition, as it would be a wise move. He stated he feels it would make more sense to look at the bail bonds property at the same time.
Commissioner McLain stated he can remember when the County acquired the 15 acres in that area for about $33,500 an acre. This property will be about $175,000 per acre. He asked if staff has done an inventory of properties that are contiguous to that land.
Ms. Coto advised staff has looked at vacant properties along the 17-92 corridor that are in the vicinity of the 5 Points complex and the majority of those properties were either under contract or relatively small in nature.
Commissioner Morris stated this property has rental units with short-term leases on them and what they would look at is income averaging of the purchase price. This is developed property of high density residential in nature versus undeveloped property that the full value was not recognized. He stated he feels that this is the logical thing to do.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he doesn’t want to pay anymore than what they have to pay. The County needs to be aware of potential land purchases in that area for future uses. He stated this may be the time to look into purchasing the bail bonds property also.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Maloy, Ms. Coto advised the funds that will be reduced from the reserves will go toward the acquisition. If staff is successful in the negotiations, a funding solution will be presented to the Board.
Commissioner Maloy stated he would like to see what the future plans are going to be, therefore, he would like to see more of an analysis of the area before he makes a decision.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Van Der Weide to authorize staff to enter into negotiations with the Central Florida HANDS for acquiring the Shenandoah property, and to investigate and report back to the Board on the evaluation of the bail bonds front property.
Under discussion, Chairman Henley stated the intent of the motion is to agree for the use of the reserves, and to authorize staff to move forward with the negotiations and the plan.
Districts 2, 3, and 4 voted AYE.
Commissioners Maloy and McLain voted NAY.
--------
Mr. Grace stated he believes the Board received a letter from Cindy Gennell, GreeneWay Trails Task Force, requesting that the County consider creating a countywide trails crew. He stated he would like to see if the Board is interested in staff preparing information on this. He said due to the figures being cut out of the budget, he would not recommend doing this at this time.
Commissioner Morris stated this is something the County will ultimately have to do. He stated he would recommend getting more of a buildout before a crew is placed in there.
The Board agreed that the County Manager does not need to submit any information at the public hearing tomorrow night.
Commissioner Morris recommended that staff submit a response in writing to the committee. He stated he will prepare a response for the Chairman to sign.
The Chairman recessed the meeting at 11:42 a.m., reconvening at 11:55 a.m.
COUNTY MANAGER’S CONSENT AGENDA
Upon inquiry by Chairman Henley, Phil Stalvey, Community Services Director, addressed the Board to advise he will have to get back to the Board regarding the number of contacts on the monthly report for Tajiri School relative to Item #13.
Commissioner Morris stated one other option to be considered is that the Board will approve no additional funds. The school will have to obtain funds from the State or through private fund-raising efforts. The Board pulled Item #13, for a separate vote.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Van Der Weide relative to Item #15, amending Administrative Code relating to Travel Policies, Ms. Hall advised there has been some confusion as to what types of reimbursements are authorized by the travel policy. She said the confusion was whether continental breakfasts were listed on a program. She stated staff has clarified the definition on the issue of meals provided.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Jamie Croteau, Director of Administrative Services, addressed the Board to explain why staff wants to declare the vacant land (Item #1) on the north side of Lake Mary Blvd. as surplus.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Morris and Suzy Goldman, Director of Library & Leisure Services, relative to Item #34, approve FRDAP Grant Application for improvements at Greenwood Lakes Park.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
Comprehensive Planning
Kevin Fall, Principal Planner, addressed the Board to request direction from the Board pertaining to options/alternatives available for the construction of Lynx bus shelters along U.S. 17-92. He stated a number of issues have come up relative to looking at the shelters in more detail. He said staff has no opposition to working toward a cooperative agreement with Lynx to be a part of their next procurement process. A booklet relative to IFB 99-003 installation of passenger amenities-various locations recommendation from ICF Kaiser was received and filed.
Commissioner Maloy stated he was impressed with some of the designs of these bus shelters. He stated he would like to see if there is a method of having a bicycle loan program and the vending racks.
Commissioner Morris stated he feels that it would be logical to move forward with some type of criteria in an RFP for
construction and to look at alternatives in shelter construction, particularly, if the vendor can maintain the shelters. In more urban areas these shelters can be protected from abuse, but it would be more difficult in more isolated areas. He stated he feels that this is a good way to head in future construction. He said he feels it would be beneficial to move forward with an RPF to find out what is available.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to direct staff to pursue and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a County-administered Request for Proposals (RFP) for the manufacture and installation of bus shelters within Seminole County; County funding would be dependent upon criteria established in the RFP.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris relative to the Building Code issue relating to copper piping, Mr. Grace advised he believes a public hearing will be scheduled soon on new building codes.
Commissioner Morris stated he is requesting the Board to look into this to see what type of action they need to do on this issue. He stated he has heard a variety of issues as to why this hasn’t been done.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he also has some issues on the code that needs discussing.
Mr. Grace stated he will have to follow up on that issue and come back to the Board.
-------
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to appoint Stan Sandefur to the Seminole County Port Authority for a 4-year term; and to adopt Resolution commending Cliff Miller for his services on the Port Authority.
Under discussion, Commissioner McLain stated he is under the impression that this appointment is for the District 5 Commissioner.
The Board by consensus agreed to hold off on the appointment to determine whether this is a District 3 or 5 appointment.
-------
Chairman Henley recommended appointing Mike Good to the Seminole County Port Authority for a 4-year term.
Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to appoint Mike Good to the Seminole County Port Authority.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Commissioner Maloy stated he would like more information on regulating newspaper vending machines.
Motion by Commissioner Maloy to direct staff to bring back more information for the newspaper vending machine units.
Commissioner Morris stated he feels the Board should freeze any action on expired contracts relative to bus benches until the RFP issue is resolved. Commissioner Maloy withdrew his motion.
Motion by Commissioner Maloy, seconded by Commissioner Morris to authorize staff to review ideas including the component of regulating vending machines as well as freezing park benches and to have all of these looked at comprehensively along the corridors.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Commissioner Maloy stated the evacuations from the last hurricane were very slow and he sees SR 46 as an important corridor coming from the coast, which should be 4-laned. He stated he feels there should be a road coming from the coast that would move the traffic better. He said he feels that fixing the environmental problems on Lake Jesup as well as the general safety issue is a priority item. He added he would like to discuss with the Board as to where they want to go with that corridor. One of the ideas is to build a new bridge going over Lake Jesup on the north side.
Jim Marino, Public Work Directors, addressed the Board to advise SR 46 to the east is not in the MetroPlan 5-year plan, but it is on the long-range plan.
Commissioner Maloy stated he feels this is something that needs to be done as soon as possible.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he realizes that this is a safety problem even if there is one car or 2,000 cars traveling on that road. He stated if there is some reason that SR 46 would really generate a considerable increase of traffic count, it would probably be the biggest safety hazard in the County.
Chairman Henley stated that Governor Bush has indicated that he will take a hard look at these evacuations.
Commissioner Morris stated he would be in favor of any action to move forward with the bridge issue, but he would have to abstain from any formal votes on this issue as he represents property owners on that road.
Commissioner McLain stated he feels the Board should address pushing 4-laning SR 46 from Mellonville Ave. to 415. He stated he would suggest moving forward with accelerating 4-laning SR 46 to 415 or to the bridge.
Commissioner Maloy recommended going with a two-phase project.
Chairman Henley recommended having staff to take a look at these issues and come back with their recommendations. The Board voiced no objections.
-------
Mary Mantzaris, Lead Administrative Aide, addressed the Board to advise that the Port Authority Appointment that Commissioner Van Der Weide made is a District 3 appointment. She stated there are three other rotating appointments, but this is not one of them.
Motion by Commissioner Van Der Weide, seconded by Commissioner Maloy to appoint Stan Sandefur to the Seminole County Port Authority and adopt Resolution #99-R-130, as shown on page ___________, commending Cliff Miller for his services on the Port Authority.
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 voted AYE.

-------
Commissioner Morris advised that the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council meeting scheduled for September was cancelled and there will not be another meeting until next month.
-------
Commissioner Maloy stated a Lynx meeting is scheduled for this Thursday and he understands that Mel Martinez will be the representative from Orange County.
Chairman Henley asked the Board if they received a copy of Mel Martinez’s letter relative to where he wants to go and where he wants to place his emphasis.
-------
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated a few years ago the Board thought it was a good idea to put more than one cell company on a pole. He stated AT&T wireless wants to put another company on their pole. He said staff is interpreting this that this be limited to three and suggested that the company has to go through the whole process. He added the minutes do not indicate that it be restricted to three. He added he feels it would make sense to accommodate four companies on one pole.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Morris, Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he doesn’t want to see more poles going up around the County and he would like to know why they couldn’t do this.
Mr. Grace stated the minutes and motion indicate that it is very exclusive. After the motion was made, staff clarified that there will be three sets of light cells. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he is trying to determine whether or not the Board can give these companies direction to move forward, and if they can’t, then they need to make it clear to those companies as to what steps they need to follow.
Mr. McMillan recommended having staff to review this issue further and then come back to the Board with an interpretation.
Commissioner Van Der Weide stated he feels that staff can research this issue and come back tomorrow.
COUNTY MANAGER’S REPORT
Mr. Grace reminded the Board of the first Budget public hearing tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. He stated he would like to thank the Board for their patience in canceling and rescheduling the meetings, and he would like to commend staff for their preparation and response to the storms.
ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDA
