INDUSTRY COUNCIL

Mrs. Robbie Baird, Director of the Private Industry Council, Mr. Mike Stearman, City of Eustis, Vice-President of the Small Business Incubator, Inc., and Dr. Bruce Staff, Lake-Sumter Community College, President of the Small Business Incubator, Inc., appeared before the Board to discuss a request for consideration of funding a small business incubator.

Mrs. Baird stated that the Private Industry Council reviewed a proposal, submitted by Lake-Sumter Community College, to develop and implement a small business incubator, to be initially located in the Eustis area. The partners in the development of this project would be Lake-Sumter Community College, Lake County Private Industry Council, Lake County Economic Development Council, and the City of Eustis. The methodology for increasing small business success rates and productivity is to provide business space at less-than-market value rental rates, and to support each tenant's business with shared-cost business services. This package of services would include business management guidance and oversight; loan packaging assistance; secretarial services; light bookkeeping; computer services ; telephone; marketing assistance: copying. Each business in the incubator would be routinely reviewed to determine specific need for additional, more intensive assistance, and/or supervision.

Mrs. Baird requested that the Board approve a two-year con- tract, implementing a small business incubator, to be prepared by the County Attorney, not to exceed $79,629.00, utilizing the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) funds, and authorize the Chairman to sign such contract, as recommended by the Private Industry Council.

Commr. Smoak stated that the Government would be getting into an area where the County is saying that the private enterprise system needs to be subsidized. He questioned the competiveness and genuine need for the project.

Commr. Windram discussed the similarity of bonds issued by the County.

Dr. Staff addressed the Board to discuss the success of the program; the screening process to be used, in order to prevent duplication of businesses: and the seminars. He stated that the purpose of the program will be to provide businesses with enough management and technical assistance to be successful.

Discussion occurred regarding the comparison of this program with the SCORE Program, and monies that will be collected for rent and services. It was noted that the formula initiated would not allow a business in the incubator for more than three years.

Mr. Stearman addressed the Board on the "moving out" process from the incubator to the private sector. He informed the Board of the volunteers to assist with the program.

Commr . Deems made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Burhans, for the Board to approve the request, as recommended by the Private Industry Council, for a two-year contract, not to exceed $79,629.00, from JTPA funds, for funding of a small business incubator, to be prepared by the County Attorney.

Commr . Windram requested that Mrs. Baird present periodic reports, to the Board, on the progress of the project.

Commr. Smoak stated that a formula should be devised, so that the people who benefit from the program, can get the economic and competiveness advantages, and know that they will be providing the funding for the small businesses that will follow in the program. He suggested, in order to prevent a completely subsidized program, a repay clause be included in the language of the contract.

Commr. Deems amended his motion to include such language for repayment of funds.

Commr . Deems requested that Mr. Chris Ford, County Attorney,.submit to the Board the contract, for the Board's review.

Commr. Carson requested Mrs. Baird to take the proposed con- ract, with the repayment of funds language, to the Private Industry Council's Board for discussion.

At this time the Chairman called for a vote on the motion, and the motion was carried unanimously.

MOSQUITO CONTROL/POLLUTION CONTROL/SOIL CONSERVATION

WATER AUTHORITY

Mr. Michael C. Willett, County Administrator, discussed with the Board the possibility of an organizational change involving the environmental services of Lake County. He suggested combining the Water Authority, Soil Conservation, Mosquito Control and Pollution Control. Mr. Willett informed the Board that last years budget, for these offices, was over two million dollars, with the majority of the funds belonging to Water Authority.

Mr. Willett suggested that the Private Industry Council be included in the Health and General Services, and that Mosquito Control be placed within a water resource department or division.

Mr. Willett stated that one of the problems that he hoped to solve would be to establish work programs, directed by the Board of County Commissioners, with the Board setting the priorities.

Commr. Smoak suggested that the County investigate the consoidation of the Water Authority and Pollution Control Boards, through acts of the local legislation. He recommended that the aoard authorize Mr. Willett to contact each individual department, and review the following: the activity level; funding; overlap, if any, in budget consideration. He further suggested developing a policy statement, to direct to the Legislative Delegation, with the concerns of Lake County, regarding the Water Authority and Pollution Control.

On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Windram and carried unanimously, the Hoard authorized the County Administrator to investigate all areas previously mentioned, and formulate, through his office and the departments affected, any recommendations that he may wish to present to the Hoard for consideration.
