roads – county – state
Commr. Deems presented to the Board a letter from the Department of Transportation to Mrs. Marion Newton, Lake County Safety Council, regarding the traffic signal study at the intersection of US 441 and C-473. According to its study, a signal is warranted, but the DOT does not have the funds available to install a signal during the 78-79 Fiscal Year. Discussion was held.
On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr. Carson and carried unanimously, the Board adopted a resolution stating that Lake County would maintain the above-mentioned signal after its installation. Commr. Hoskinson was absent for the vote.
appointments
Commr. Deems presented to the Board a letter from the District III Mental Health Board, Inc., stating that the Board appointed Dr. James Fisher as its representative on the District III Mental Health Board for one year, but Florida Statute mandates that the term be two years; therefore, the District III Mental Health Board, Inc. is requesting that the Board appoint Dr. Fisher to be its representative on the above-mentioned Board for another year. On a motion by Commr. Carson seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board appointed Dr. Fisher to serve as its representative on the above-mentioned Board for another one year term. The Board requested the Clerk to notify Dr. Fisher and the appropriate officials of this action.
appropriations/ceta
Commr. Windram presented to the Board a request for five psychiatric aides for the Lake Sumter Mental Health Clinic under the CETA Program. He stated that it would be understood if within 30 days the Lake Sumter Mental Health Clinic did not fill these positions, they would return them to the County so that they could be assigned to another project. On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr. Hoskinson and carried unanimously, the Board approved the five CETA positions for Lake Sumter Mental Health as outlined above.
autos and trucks
Commr. Deems presented to the Board a letter from the Department of Transportation informing Lake County of a sale of surplus property and that the Counties would have first opportunity to purchase the items that were available for sale. The Board requested the Clerk to thank the DOT for giving Lake County this opportunity.
salaries
Mr. Watkins reported to the Board that Mr. Don Smalt had contacted all the employees and Department Heads requesting their opinion on being paid every two weeks. He stated that the majority of the workers were in favor of being paid every two weeks. Discussion was held.
On a motion by Commr. Hoskinson, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board approved payment of County Employee salaries every two weeks rather than once a month. This procedure will become effective by January 1, 1977 or as soon as possible.
budget
On a motion by Commr. Hoskinson, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried, the Board approved the amended Budget for CETA Title II and VI due to receiving more funds than were anticipated.

On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Hoskinson and carried, the Board approved the Supplemental budgets for CETA II and VI due to receiving more funds than were anticipated. Commr. Carson was out for the vote.

On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Hoskinson and carried unanimously, the Board approved the cancellation of County Warrant #4203 dated September 30, 1977 in the amount of $1.00 issued to the General Accounting Office due to the County not having to pay for the publication which it ordered.
accounts allowed
On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Hoskinson and carried unanimously, the Board approved the purchase of four calculators at an approximate cost of $326 per calculator. Mr. Watkins stated that he would process this purchase through the Purchasing Department in order to obtain the best possible price on the calculators needed.
budgets/accounts allowed/hospitals
Mr. Watkins, Clerk, presented to the Board a letter from the Waterman Memorial Hospital requesting their budgeted funds for the operation of the Hospital District and the Ambulance Service. The Clerk recommended that the funds be allocated as soon as the contract of the 1978-1979 Fiscal Year is approved.
budget/public health
Commr. Windram stated that the Lake Sumter Mental Health Clinic has requested that it receive its budget funds in one lump sum. He stated that he contacted Sumter County, and they informed him that the Mental Health Clinic submits a quarterly report to the State of Florida and that after this report is received, Sumter County releases one quarter of its budgeted funds budgeted in Sumter County for the operation of the Mental Health Clinic. Commr. Windram saw no reason why Lake County could not operate in this manner in the disbursement of funds for the Lake Sumter Mental Health Clinic. No formal action was taken. Commr. Windram stated he would look into the matter further.
machinery and equipment/libraries
Commr. Deems asked Commr. Carson if the matter involving the copier in the Law Library had been settled. Commr. Carson stated that the matter would be resolved on January 28, 1978 at the Library Board of Trustees Meeting. This met with the approval of the Board.
insurance
At 9:30 a.m. the Chairman announced that the time had arrived for the Board to award the bids for the County’s insurance needs for the coming year.
On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Windram and carried unanimously, the Board awarded the bids for Workmen’s Compensation Coverage to Lassiter Ware Insurance Company, Insurance Carrier is United States Fidelity and Guaranty Insurance Co., at an annual premium of $99,917.00.
It was moved by Commr. Carson and seconded by Commr. Windram that Leesburg Insurance be awarded the bid for Occupantional Death Coverage. Discussion was held as to whether or not this bid covered Law Enforcement Officers while riding in an aircraft. It was determined by the County Attorney that it did not include this coverage, which is necessary for the Sheriff’s Deputies. Commr. Carson withdrew his motion, and Commr. Windram withdrew his second.
It was noted that the remaining two bidders had submitted equal bids for this coverage. The Chairman stated that the names would be placed in a hat and drawn at random to determine who would be awarded the bid. The names were placed in the hat, and Lassiter-Ware Insurance Company was drawn to supply Lake County with Occupational Death Coverage for Law Enforcement Officers for the coming year at an annual premium of $1,505.20 with the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Insurance Co.
The Clerk informed the Board that there was only one bid received for General Liability Coverage. The bid was received from Holstein, Church and Pickering at an annual premium of $54,608.00. On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Hoskinson and carried unanimously, the Board awarded the County’s General Liability Coverage to Holstein, Church and Pickering at an annual premium of $54,608.00 with auto-Owners Insurance Company.
It was brought to the attention of the Board that the County had received one bid for insurance coverage on Hospital Liability Coverage for the Lake County Nursing Home. This was received from Lassiter-Ware Insurance Company, and the annual premium is $5,621, and the Insurance Company is St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company. On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board awarded the above coverage for the Nursing Home to Lassiter-Ware Insurance at the above-mentioned annual premium.
It was brought to the attention of the Board that the County had received three bids on its Fleet Coverage, and all three bidders altered the specifications by changing the deductible in one way or another. Discussion was held. Mr. Ford, County Attorney, stated that none of the insurance companies meet the specification, and due to the fact that the County will require insurance coverage by January 1, 1978, he suggested that the County make a decision between Leesburg Insurance Agency and Holstein, Church and Pickering, who were the two low bidders of the three received. Further discussion was received. On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board awarded the County’s Fleet Coverage to the Leesburg Insurance Agency at an annual premium of $28,839.00, with the insurance carrier being American States Insurance Company. Leesburg Insurance Agency was chosen because it was the only insurance company that submitted a bid which was the closest to the specifications sent out and because of the time element involved, since there would be no way the County could readvertise for bids for the Fleet Insurance and obtain coverage by January 1, 1978.
It was brought to the attention of the Board that when the Boiler Insurance Coverage was prepared, it did not state if the County wanted a deductible, and because of this fact, there were six proposals submitted by Holstein, Church and Pickering, and Lassiter Ware submitted one bid. It was brought to the attention of the Board that two insurance agencies had obtained a bid from the same carrier; however, Lassiter Ware picked one of the six proposals and submitted it to the County for consideration instead of submitting all six.
Discussion was held. The Board decided that it would consider proposal #2 from Holstein, Church and Pickering, which was the same proposal which Lassiter Ware selected for consideration by the Board of County Commissioners. Due to the fact that the two bids were identical in price, the Board directed that the two names be placed in a hat and drawn at random. This was done, and Lassiter Ware was selected to handle the County’s Boiler Insurance coverage for the coming year. On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Windram and carried, the Board awarded the Boiler Insurance Coverage to Lassiter Ware at an annual premium of $1,495.00, with the insurance carrier being American Motorists Insurance Company; this policy will run for a three-year term. The Board also requested that it be noted that action had to be taken immediately, because it would be impossible to readvertise for bids and obtain coverage by January 1, 1978, which is when the present policy expires.
Commr. Burhans was absent for the vote.
grants
Mr. Willett, Director of Planning, appeared before the Board requesting approval of six Housing Rehabilitation Contracts for the Southeast Umatilla area. Discussion was held. On a motion by Commr.

accounts allowed/audits
Mr. Willett requested approval from the Board for the Planning and Purchasing Department to confer on securing an auditor to perform the necessary audit on the Community Development Block Grant for the Southeast Umatilla area. He stated at this time that he was very pleased with the audit done by Greenlee, Paul, Furnas and Kurras for the Bassville Park Block Grant.
The Board stated that since the Planning Department was satisfied with the services received from Greenlee, Paul, Furnas and Kurras, the Board would approve to retain them again to proceed with the necessary audit for the Block Grant for the Southeast Umatilla area. On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Carson and carried unanimously, the Board approved for Greenlee, Paul, Furnas and Kurras to be employed as the auditor to do the audit for the Southeast Umatilla area.
grants
The Director of Planning requested approval from the Board to have the Chairman sign the request for funds from HUD for approximately $12,443 for the Community Development Block Grant.

county buildings/fairgrounds
Commr. Burhans reported to the Board that some of the wiring at the Lake County Fairgrounds was in need of repair. Discussion was held. On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr.

appraisals
Commr. Hoskinson brought to the attention of the Board that the owner of the house and property on the corner of Sinclair and Main in Tavares has offered to sell her property to the County in the amount of $50,000. He stated that he would like to have the property appraised before any formal offer is made on the property. On a motion by Commr. Hoskinson, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board approved for an appraisal to be obtained on the above-mentioned property and requested that the County Attorney select an appraiser.
county buildings
Commr. Hoskinson brought to the attention of the Board that the Personnel Department has requested carpeting and painting be installed in their offices located in the Old Chamber of Commerce Building.

appropriations/ceta
Mr. Spooner, CETA Coordinator, appeared before the Board to discuss the matter brought to the Board’s attention by the various Chambers of Commerce a few weeks ago.

The Board discussed the change in policy regarding the CETA Program. On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr.

planning and zoning
cup 588-1 vincent fechtel and theodore erck
Mr. Fechtel appeared before the Board regarding this case. He stated that when the property was originally rezoned, there was an error in the advertisement, and because of this error, he would request that the Board not consider at this time this CUP on the property in question, but allow him to refile a petition to rezone the property with the correct legal description and bring this CUP up for consideration by the Board at the same time the rezoning is considered. Discussion was held.
Mr. Ford concurred in this recommendation and stated that it would be the best way to handle the situation.
On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Hoskinson and carried unanimously, the Board postponed consideration of this CUP until February 21, 1977 to allow Mr. Fechtel to reapply for a rezoning with the correct legal description and that both the rezoning and the CUP be reconsidered by the Planning and Zoning Board as well as the Board of County Commissioners.

cup 290a-5 laurier beard
Mr. Andrew stated that this CUP involved the Lakeview Terrace Development and its entrance road. Mr. Andrew stated that this was a traffic problem, but felt that in the future the County may be able to work in the installation of deceleration lanes in the Secondary Road Projects.
Mr. Beard appeared before the Board to discuss this matter. He stated that this entrance road was constructed in the location selected by the Department of Transportation and the County Engineer several years ago. The previous owner to the property, Mr. Stanley, was present to confirm this statement.
Mr. Stanley explained that this CUP is before the Board now because when he sold the property, he thought he owned an additional 1.4 acres which he found out later he did not own. Since then, the present owner and developer has acquired ownership of this 1.4 acre piece of property and would like it included in the CUP so that it could be developed with the rest of the property.
Mr. Peter Germeroth, present owner of the property, appeared before the Board and stated that he would assist in financing the work necessary to correct the road problem on the highway in front of his development. Discussion was held regarding the possibility of establishing an Escrow Account for this purpose. The developer stated that he would be unable to consider an Escrow Agreement, because he did not have funds immediately available to him to tie up in this manner.
Commr. Hoskinson suggested that the Board approve the CUP with the stipulation that he not develop over a certain number of units without improving the road or prevent him from developing the 1.4 acres until the changes on SR 42 are made. Further discussion was held.
On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr. Hoskinson and carried unanimously, the Board approved the CUP but amended it to state that: 1. Any provisions in CUP 290-5 are included in CUP 290-A5. 2. All provisions in 290-5 are applied to this CUP. 3. Prior to any building permits being issued on the north 330 feet of lot 24 of Altoon Hinson’s Plan S.31 T. 17 R 27, the developer must deposit in escrow to Lake County the sum of $15,000 for participation improvement funds for any safety requirements necessary on SR 42.
