DEVELOPMENT/REPORTS

Mr. Roy Harris, with the Industrial Development Commission of Mid-Florida, Inc. (IDC), appeared before the Board to give a report on the first year activities of the IDC.

Mr. Harris stated that the IDC started their work in Lake County with four goals in mind. The first goal was to encourage new industry in Lake County. The second goal was to encourage the existing industry to expand. The third goal was to establish a clearinghouse for businesses seeking information about government plans, government regulations, permits, demographics, sites, buildings, etc., and whatever is required for businesses to organize and do their job better. The fourth goal was to improve the business climate, by listening to Lake County's industry to find out what the problems are, and to see if there is some way of supporting them.

Mr. Harris then discussed some of the projects the IDC has completed. He stated that they had done a survey of the existing industry, and that 65 percent of the existing industry plan some form of expansion, within the next two years. He stated that they also did a Labor Study, but the results indicated that within the retirement community, most had no desire to return to work.

Mr. Harris stated that the IDC has done a physical inventory of all the buildings with available space; started a directory of manufacturers: completed a map of the mid-Florida areas, consisting of three counties; and developed a workshop.

Mr. Harris discussed several projects that are underway, such as, a wage and benefit survey: what is available to offer to companies: what training is needed for companies; and to give representatives of companies outside of the area a 3-day tour of the entire area.

Mr. Harris informed the Board that they have several projects which are planned, such as, continuation of the seminars and workshops.

Mr. Harris stated that they have become involved in other areas in the County, such as, the Private Industry Council, Lake County Small Business Incubator Board, and the Special Committee of the Lake Sumter Personnel Association-Lake Survey.

Mr. Harris informed the Board that they have worked 55 projects in Lake County the first year. He also stated that they had lost a few projects.

Mr. Harris felt that the County needs venture capital approval, which is also needed throughout the State; further development of the infrastructure in existing industrial parks; and better communication between vocational schools and existing businesses.

Mr. Harris stated that one of the most important things in Lake County is the business node at Highway 27 and the Turnpike, and that several large companies have looked at this area with considerable interest. He felt that if the County put in a tourist information facility, with the proper advertising and promotion, that this exit could be advertised as the least congested gateway to the attractions of Central Florida.

Mr. Harris was aware of the discussion of the possibility of locating the new Criminal Justice/Jail Facility at Highway 27 and the Turnpike, and stated that having a major County facility in this location, would attract quality business and industry to the area.

COUNTY PROPERTY/COURTS-JUDGES/JAILS

At this time, the Chairman recognized the interested persons, lawyers, etc., who came to the meeting to discuss the proposed site for the new Criminal Justice/Jail Facility.

Mr. Lewis Stone, an Attorney from Eustis and President of the Lake County Bar Association, appeared before the Board to discuss and present a Resolution to the Board, from the Lake County Bar Association. Mr. Stone stated that the Bar Association felt that separating judicial functions from the County Seat of Tavares would create logistical problems for all citizens of Lake County.

Mr. Tony Otte, Tavares City Administrator, appeared before the Board and informed them that the City wants the new complex located in downtown Tavares, one reason being that they have started a $300,000.00 water improvement project, which will serve the new complex, and the City will break ground soon on a one (1) million gallon wastewater treatment plant, which will also serve the new complex. He also stated that the City has already improved two intersections on Old 441, to handle the additional traffic, and two other intersections on State Road 19 are already scheduled. The City has also negotiated the sale of two City owned lots to the County, on the downtown Tavares site, which was originally planned. He also informed the Board that the City has also approved the site plan for the temporary jail, and the City's staff recommends approval of several variances, in order to finalize the site for the temporary jail.

Mr. Otte stated that the City is willing to work with the County to locate the complex downtown. He informed the Board that the City has not yet prepared a figure to present for the water and sewer impact fee. The figure that is currently being discussed was prepared by the engineer of their architectural firm using the City of Tavares Ordinance. The City Engineer, and the Director of Utilities, do not have the flow data needed to calculate the impact fees. Mr. Otte stated that utility systems are very expensive to operate and begin.

Mr. Otte requested the Board to look closely at what funds have already been spent, in the design of the complex. Mr. Otte reminded the Board that 100 years ago there were four (4) bitterly contested elections, to decide where the County Seat would be, with Tavares being chosen. He felt that it would not be to the County's best interest to move those operations and services from Tavares.

Mr. Claudius Mangor, a resident of Tavares, in the area where the complex was originally proposed, stated that the residents in that area oppose the site. He stated that they felt it would be unsafe for the residents and would create more traffic. He also stated that they felt it would be beneficial to locate the complex outside of the City.

MENTAL HEALTH/ORDINANCES

At 10:30 a.m. the Chairman announced that the advertised time had arrived for the Public Hearing regarding an Ordinance repealing Section 2-21 of the Lake County, Florida, Code, addressing the procedures in assisting the Sunshine Workshop differently than that provided in Section 2-21.

It was noted that the proper proof of publication was on hand as it appeared in The Orlando Sentinel, The Lake Sentinel.

On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Carson and carried unanimously, the Board approved to place the Ordinance on the floor for its first and final reading, by title only.

Mr. Bob Messmer, HOK, discussed the advantages of low rise and high rise buildings. Mr. Messmer gave a brief history of the planning stages which the architects have completed. He stated that the architects could do the project in Tavares, save the Health Department and Mosquito Control, and most of the wetlands involved, by designing it in another way.

Mr. Watkins, Clerk, stated that he had not been given some of the information presented today by the staff, and requested the record to reflect that the Building Committee does not see the need to change from the original site.

Commr. Bailey made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Smoak, for the sake of discussion, to pick, as the first choice, the site at Highway 19/27/Turnpike.

Mr. Skip Babb, Public Defender, appeared before the Board to discuss the County's plans regarding the Criminal Justice/Jail Facility site. He felt that the decision needs more public discussion.

Mr. Ken Mullins, President, Florida National Bank, and resident of Lake County, appeared before the Board in opposition to the relocation of the Complex out of downtown Tavares.

At this time, Mr. Watkins read to the Board Article 8, Section 1, subparagraph K, of the Constitution, relating to the County Seat.

Mr. Chris Ford, County Attorney, informed the Board that some lawsuits could evolve, by building the Complex outside of the County Seat.

Commr. Carson felt that the Board should turn down the motion which was placed on the floor.

At this time, Commr. Bailey restated his motion which he had placed on the floor.
