PERSONAL APPEARANCES/PUBLIC HEARINGS/TIMES CERTAIN

ROAD VACATIONS

PETITION NO. 799 REX MCPHERSON, III CLERMONT AREA

Mr. Jim Stivender, Senior Director of Public Services, appeared before the Board to present Road Vacation Petition No. 799 by Rex McPherson, II, Clermont Groves, Inc. and Betty Keene Crane to vacate streets and tracts, Monte Vista Park Farms. He explained that Petition No. 799 had previously been postponed due to concerns with easements associated with providing legal access to adjacent property owners.

At this time, Commr. Gerber opened the public hearing portion of the meeting.

Ms. Cecelia Bonifay, Attorney, McQuire, Voorhis, & Wells, P.A., representing the developer, appeared before the Board and noted that other representatives were present in the audience. Ms. Bonifay stated that Mr. James Seay, Attorney, McQuire, Voorhis, & Wells, P.A., had prepared the documentation necessary for granting easements to the affected property. At this time, an aerial map of the properties in question was distributed to the Board members, and Ms. Bonifay briefly discussed the property boundaries of William Smith, Mary Ellen Barden, and Charles E. Bosserman as illustrated on said map. She stated that the concerns of the adjacent property owners have been addressed. Ms. Bonifay distributed copies of letters from Ms. Mary Ellen Barden, and Mr. Richard Bosserman evidencing withdrawal of their opposition to Vacation Petition No. 799. She requested that the Board approve to vacate all of the existing platted easements or rights-of-way on the property. She stated that the current easements have been executed by the Trustees and would be recorded within ten (10) days.

No one present wished to speak in opposition to this request.

Mr. William Smith, adjacent property owner, appeared before the Board and requested clarification that fifteen (15) foot access would be adequate to build a home on his lot.

Mr. Stubbs responded that, if the property in question was determined to be a Lot of Record, the width of the access would not be an issue. After a brief discussion, Mr. Stubbs suggested that Mr. Smith request a Lot of Record Determination.

There being no further public comment, the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed.

On a motion by Commr. Good, seconded by Commr. Swartz and carried unanimously by a 5 - 0 vote, the Board approved Road Vacation Petition No. 799 by Rex McPherson, II, Clermont Groves, Inc. and Betty Keene Crane to vacate streets and tracts, with the condition that there be a grant dedication of a fifteen (15) foot access easement located across the north boundary of the vacated plat to be prepared and recorded in the public records of Lake County, Florida; said fifteen (15) foot access easement will be designated for vehicular and pedestrian ingress and egress from Mary Ellen Barden's property to Hancock Road, Monte Vista Park Farms, Section 4 and 5, Township 23, Range 26, Clermont Area - Commissioner District 2.

CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD

At this time, the Chairman announced that the Board would hear questions, comments, and concerns from the citizens who were present in the audience.

Mr. M. L. Spikes, a contractor and property owner in Lake County, appeared before the Board to express a citizen's viewpoint in regard to the County's permitting process and the length of time to obtain a permit to build a house, noting that the entire process currently takes approximately eight (8) weeks and six (6) to eight (8) days are needed to obtain a permit. He stated that the Southern Building Codes are not sensible laws, are responsible for the delays in the permitting process, and the County should have opposed said laws. He expressed concern with the State requirement that a contractor take two (2) continuing education courses a year. He discussed Workman's Compensation and stated that laws have become so oppressive that they are no longer good laws. He stated that our forefathers stated that, for America to remain free, we must always remember the principles that we were founded on, and we must fight for those freedoms.

Mr. Paul Bergmann, Senior Director, Department of Planning & Development Services, appeared before the Board to address the concerns expressed by Mr. Spikes.

Commr. Hanson suggested that the Legislative Delegation address the issue of the Southern Building Codes, and that the Association of Counties review this issue again.

COUNTY MANAGER'S DEPARTMENTAL BUSINESS

COMMUNITY SERVICES

Mr. Fletcher Smith, Director of Community Services, appeared before the Board to discuss the General Assistance Program and explained that said program includes the ability for the County to provide assistance to Lake County residents with rent, utilities, and prescription medications. He further explained that Ms. Allison Thall, Division Manager, anticipated revising the criteria for eligibility for residents requesting assistance, and the eligibility standards have been increased to 125% of the federal poverty level. He stated that fifty-three (53) residents have been assisted during 1994-95 with rent assistance at a level of $200.00. At this time, Mr. Smith discussed the following three options to obtain the maximum amount of service provision to the Lake County residents under the General Assistance Program:

I. Return the Division policies and procedures to the original guidelines of zero income coming into the home as opposed to allowing an income up to 125% of poverty level;



II. Develop a "level of emergency" formula which defines what criteria constitutes the greatest emergency need and assist with General Assistance Program services in those situations only;



III. Earmark the entire General Assistance Program budget to provide assistance with prescription medications only. Leesburg Regional Medical Center would be eligible to continue to serve as an off-site facility to provide medications pursuant to the existing contract. Additionally, based on the current eligibility guidelines, the We Care Program would also be able to refer clients to the Division for assistance.

Mr. Smith stated that the staff recommendation was to pursue Option III and earmark the entire General Assistance Program budget to provide assistance with prescription medications only. He stated that, although funding was not assured, it was anticipated that the County would be receiving "State Set Aside Funds" to provide emergency assistance with rent and utilities, and that those funds would be confirmed within the next two to three weeks.

Extensive discussion occurred in regard to the General Assistance Program. Commr. Swartz expressed concern with eliminating emergency assistance for rent and utilities and suggested that the Board defer action until it has been determined if "State Set Aside Funds" would be available for rent and utility assistance. He suggested that staff be directed to continue to use the Division policies and procedures in place at this time and, if necessary, adjustments could be made at mid-year.

Commr. Hanson stated that the responsible action for the Board would be to go with Level II; however, she expressed concern with the funds that were being considered and with mid-year budget revisions.

Ms. Sue Whittle, County Manager, explained that the funds had been reduced from $16,000.00 to $8,000.00 due to the fact that the $16,000.00 had not been spent in the three previous years. She stated that recommendations came forward at the same time to change the eligibility requirements for assistance, and in a two month timeframe the funds were depleted. She stated that, with changes taking place in funding at the state level, this issue would be an on-going discussion as the Board determines the appropriate level of assistance for the County.

Commr. Swartz made a motion, which was seconded by Commr.
