ADDENDUM NO. 1

COUNTY MANAGER’S CONSENT AGENDA

COMMUNITY SERVICES

BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT

Commr. Stivender informed the Board that the Lake County Transportation Disadvantaged Board met on Monday, April 17, 2006, and that they had the honor of having Mr. Byron Underwood, who is the Medicaid specialist in Tallahassee, attend the meeting and explain why the County is losing money for its Transportation Disadvantaged Program.  She stated that, in 1975, the State received $119,000,000.00; however, last year it was only $65,000,000.00, and it is continuing to dwindle.  She noted that Mr. Underwood gave the Board some tips on what the County needs to do.

Mr. T. J. Fish, Executive Director, Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization (LSMPO), addressed the Board stating that House Bill 487 is currently making its way through the Florida Legislature, noting that it has gone through the House of Representatives, but it does not have a Senate companion Bill, which is why he was before the Board this date.  He stated that, although the LSMPO is not scheduled to meet until April 26th, as its Executive Director, he felt it would be appropriate to send correspondence from the Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinating Board, as well as from the Board of County Commissioners, to the County’s legislative delegation, letting them know that they are concerned about the matter.  He stated that there have been some increases in what is perceived to be the Transportation Disadvantaged Program indirectly, from $114 million to $123 million, the only thing is that, once the Medicaid trips are taken off the top, it brings that figure down to $67 million and that number is not rising.  He stated that, now that HMOs are also allowed to get into the transportation business and compete directly with the Transportation Disadvantaged Program, there is no longer in the State a coordinated transportation system, which was the intent of the original legislation.  He stated that the Medicaid Bill from the last session undermined that, accidentally, he would assume, to where the Board, in trying to serve the citizenry, is having to compete with HMOs.  He stated that this is an extremely important Bill that will, ultimately, trickle down to the people that the Board represents.  He asked whether the Board felt it was appropriate for them to ask the County’s legislative delegation to be aware of this issue and, specifically, to have Senator Carey Baker sponsor a companion Bill.

On a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Pool and carried unanimously, by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved to place said item on the Agenda.

On a motion by Commr Stivender, seconded by Commr. Cadwell and carried unanimously, by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved a request to authorize the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to write a letter to Senator Carey Baker and the County’s legislative delegation, asking them to tag a companion Bill onto the existing House Bill 487 (Medicaid funding), with regard to the Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization (LSMPO) and the fact that the County is losing money for its Transportation Disadvantaged Program.

            Ms. Pride addressed the Board and distributed a draft of the Basin Management Action Plan, as well as various other documents pertaining to same, which she reviewed with the Board, indicating where they are with the planning process and what will happen after the plan is adopted.  She stated that every five years, if revisions are needed, they need to be made, however, noted that they can be done sooner.  She stated that, since the plan is going to be adopted by order of the DEP Secretary, the County will not want to make changes every year, because it is a drawn out process.  She then answered questions from the Board regarding how the DEP will credit back what the County’s input, monetarily, will be and how they are dealing with the municipalities, with regard to their share and involvement in this process, in that the majority of the lakes front on municipal boundaries.  She stated that anyplace where the Board can see room for improvement, to let staff know, and the DEP will address it.

            Mr. Jim Stivender, Jr., Public Works Director, addressed the Board stating that the County has 73 or more projects out for design, through consultant services, and he has two engineers managing those jobs.  He stated that, based on a previous discussion with the Board, about the challenge that the County is having with bidding projects and getting contractors to give the County good prices, because of the economy throughout the southeast and even in the world, in some cases, they are concentrating their efforts back into consultant services, getting a lot of designs done.  He stated that the consultants are very interested and are submitting a lot more.  He stated that staff would like to move forward with this position at mid-year, to beef up his staff, so they can move forward with proposed projects and keep them on schedule.

            Commr. Stivender clarified the fact that said projects are ones that the Board has been pushing to get done in a hurry, such as intersection improvements, paving clay roads, widening and resurfacing projects, and four-lane projects.  She recommended that the Board add a three man crew to the parks mid-year, rather than waiting, at which time the Board suggested that she speak with the County Manager, Ms. Cindy Hall, about that matter.

            Commr. Cadwell interjected that the County needs more than a three man crew for the Parks and Recreation Department and that he wanted staff to come back with a plan to build it into a real Parks and Recreation Department.

            Mr. Stivender stated that he has changed some positions around and that there is a landscape architect position that was recently approved, so they are moving forward with it, to help out Mr. Bobby Bonilla, Parks and Recreation Director.  He stated that they have put together a three year plan for additional positions, which they are working on with the County Manager’s Office.

            Ms. Cindy Hall, County Manager, informed the Board that a presentation has been scheduled on the whole Parks and Recreation Program, which they will be presenting to the Board at a later date, and staff will bring a plan for that department to the Board at that time.

            VARIOUS AUDIT REPORTS, BY COUNTY’S EXTERNAL AUDITORS,

            ERNST & YOUNG

            Mr. James C. Watkins, Clerk of Circuit Court, introduced the County Finance staff that works on the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), being Ms. Barbara Lehman, Chief Deputy Clerk, County Finance; Ms. Kristy Mullane, Accounting Director; Ms. Tracy Zeller, Senior Accountant; Ms. Kathy Arnold, Fixed Assets Accountant; and Mr. Kevin McDonald, Budget Officer, noting that he was very proud of the job they do.  He stated that Mr. John Vodenicker, with Ernst & Young, whom he has had a relationship with for 18 to 20 years, was retiring and that he wanted to thank him for the personal relationship that they have had and for the relationship that Lake County has had with Ernst & Young, noting that it is one that he, as the County Comptroller, sincerely appreciates.

            Mr. Vodenicker addressed the Board stating that he feels the relationship has been a very professional one and that he has learned just as much working with Lake County as, hopefully, the County has been able to learn from Ernst & Young.  He stated that he, too, appreciates the relationship that has existed over the years.  He then presented the Annual Financial Report for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2005, at which time he reviewed the CAFR, as well as a booklet containing the 2005 Audit Results.  He remarked that the General Fund had a very strong finish, with total Revenues of $132 million, and that, throughout the audit, they did not have any findings on the County’s FEMA Program, regarding the issue of having to deal with the hurricanes that hit the County and with Homeland Security, which he feels is a very positive thing for the County’s Finance Department, noting that it shows they know what they are doing and can react to said issues.  He pointed out the fact that Lake County, in comparison to Seminole, Marion, and Alachua counties, has a very, very low debt load and that the County’s finances are in very good shape.

            Mr. Watkins interjected that the departments that actually did the work and submitted the bills should also be commended, noting that the County’s staff, as well as the Accounting staff, performed remarkably well, in a team effort.  He stated that Mr. Vodenicker’s comment regarding the County’s finances being in very good shape included the constitutional officers, as well.

            Commr. Hanson stated that the Board appreciates the long relationship that Mr. Vodenicker has had with the County and the constitutional officers and that she would miss him.

            The Board thanked Mr. Watkins, Clerk, and his staff, for the job they do for the County.

            Ms. Wendy Breeden, Library Services Director, Lake County Library Services, addressed the Board and thanked them for supporting the Lake County Library System’s new “The Smartest Card” Campaign, featuring each of the Commissioners.  She stated that the “The Smartest Card” is the library card, noting that public libraries provide the basis for an informed citizenry, preserve the past, provide opportunities for lifelong learning, instill the love of reading in children, and they are a bargain.  She stated that the goal of this campaign is to make the Lake County Library System’s library card the most valued and used card in every wallet, at which time she noted that last year libraries in Lake County checked out 1.5 million items – books, CDs, DVDs, audio books, etc.  – which amounts to over five items for every person in the County.  She stated that they also had over 1.25 million visits – enough for each resident to have visited a library 4.75 times.  She stated, however, that that is not enough for the Lake County Library System, noting that they will not be satisfied until everybody has their own “The Smartest Card” library card.  She thanked the Commissioners for being the stars of this campaign, at which time she also thanked Ms. Judy Buckland, Library Services Program Coordinator, for developing and coordinating the program; Mr. Erikk Ross and Mr. Chris Patton, Information Outreach, for their photography; and especially Ms. Elizabeth Heine, Information Outreach, who created the posters that are being used in the campaign.  She noted that the posters will be appearing in libraries and other locations throughout the County, to promote reading and libraries and everything they have to offer.  In kicking off the campaign, she presented each Commissioner with a framed poster of themselves with the books that they selected for the campaign.

            Ms. Cindy Hall, County Manager, informed the Board that Ms. Breeden was awarded the Florida Library Association’s Leader of the Year Award, which she noted is the first year for said award.  She then read into the record the characteristics that they were looking for in an individual.

            Commr. Hanson stated that she appreciated staff’s efforts in this matter and suggested that the brochure be given to the National Association of Counties (NACo), for their perusal.

            Corporal Todd Luce, with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, addressed the Board and discussed the issue of boating safety, noting that there are six deputies in the Sheriff’s Marine Unit, who patrol the County’s waterways, as well as put on boating safety classes, distribute the “Boat Smart” books, handle emergency calls, etc.  He stated that safety is an issue with the Sheriff’s Office and, with the influx of people moving into the County, they have noticed an increase in the number of calls they receive, so they try to educate everybody about boating safety.

            PUBLIC HEARING

            MID-YEAR BUDGET AMENDMENT

            Ms. Regina Frazier, Budget Director, Office of Budget, addressed the Board and presented the Mid-Year Budget Amendment, for the Board’s consideration, noting that, when the County adopts its budget in September, staff bases their figures for fund balances on estimates, so one of the primary things they do at mid-year is adjust the Fund Balance, based on the audits, as presented earlier in the meeting.  She stated that they also adjust re-budgets – things that they expect to be carried forward and purchased out of this year’s funds that were budgeted last year, as well as grants.  She stated that the mid-year amendment for this year is $31,555,267.00, which brings the total budget to $435,248,180.00.

            Commr. Cadwell stated that the Board cannot say enough about the Clerk’s Office and how it handles the audit, however, pointed out the fact that the work product they audit is what county staff produces.  He stated that he really appreciates the job that Ms. Frazier and her staff does, with regard to the County’s budget and how it is handled, at which time he noted that, with the problems the hurricanes that hit the County caused, while other counties were scurrying around to make things right, Lake County did it as they went.  He stated that there could have been so many problems and pitfalls during that process that the County did not have.

            Commr. Hanson interjected that the Board has the confidence it needs to have in Ms. Frazier and the job she does.

            The Chairman opened the public hearing.

            No one was present in opposition to the request.

            REPORTS – COUNTY ATTORNEY

            ORDINANCE ADDING EX-OFFICIO, NON-VOTING MILITARY

            REPRESENTATIVE TO LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY AND ZONING BOARD

            Mr. Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney, informed the Board that he and Ms. Amye King, Deputy Director of Growth Management, met with representatives from the Navy, to discuss this matter.  He stated that the Florida Legislature changed the Statutes, to allow a member of the military to be on the Local Planning Agency and the Zoning Board in any county where there was a military facility.  He stated that there is a military installation in Lake County, although the bulk of the bombing range is in Marion County.  He stated that they requested that the County amend its Code, to put an Ex-Officio Non-Voting Member from the Military on both the Local Planning Agency and the Zoning Board, which is what this Ordinance does.

            On a motion by Commr. Pool, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously, by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved a request from the County Attorney for approval to advertise an Ordinance amending Section 17-3, Lake County Code, and Section 13.04.02, Land Development Regulations, to Add an Ex-Officio, Non-voting Military Representative to the Local Planning Agency and the Zoning Board.

            REPORTS – COUNTY ATTORNEY

            AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN J. W. BROOKS, INC. AND

            LAKE COUNTY FOR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

            Mr. Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney, stated that this request pertained to the renewal of a lease between the County and J. W. Brooks, Inc., for a building (old furniture store) located on Hwy. 441, in Eustis, for use by the Lake County Health Department.  He stated that Ms. Quinnette Durkin, Property Manager, was able to get the additional lease renewal at the exact same price as the original lease, which was a below market rental.  He stated that, when the County first entered into the agreement, it spent a lot of money making improvements to the building in question, so the square footage price is for finished office space, which is very good.

            On a motion by Commr. Pool, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously, by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved a request from the County Attorney for approval of an Amendment to the Lease Agreement between J. W. Brooks, Inc. and Lake County, for a building located at Hwy. 441, in Eustis, for use by the Lake County Health Department.

            REPORTS – COUNTY ATTORNEY

            RETENTION OF OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO REPRESENT COUNTY STAFF BEFORE

            BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS

            Mr. Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney, stated that the County is involved in a case that involves a parcel of property located adjacent to the Lake County Christopher C. Ford Commerce Park, in Groveland, where the Board rezoned some property to heavy industrial and approved a site plan for a concrete plant to be located at the site; however, there was recently an amendment to said site plan and the adjacent property owner, which is a mobile home park development, came before the Board and opposed said amendment.  He stated that the department involved with this case decided it was appropriate to issue approval of the amendment, which was done, but the adjacent mobile home park has now filed an appeal, which will go before the Board of Adjustment.  He stated that the mobile home park is being represented by the law firm of Hill, Ward & Henderson, in Tampa, with Mr. Bob Williams as co-counsel, and the concrete plant is being represented by Mr. Hal Kantor, with the law firm of Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, in Orlando.  He stated that he feels staff will need some assistance, as they present this case to the Board of Adjustment, and, since his office represents the Board, they cannot provide that assistance.  He recommended that the Board retain the services of Mr. Bruce Duncan, outside counsel, to represent staff in this hearing, noting that he has a contract with the County and has presented cases to the Board of Adjustment in the past.

            On a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Pool and carried unanimously, by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved to place said item on the Agenda.

            Commr. Hanson questioned whether the case in question had a site plan, when it was originally approved, and was informed by the County Attorney that the applicant displayed a site plan at the Zoning Board Meeting, but it was not adopted as part of the Ordinance, at which time she noted that she felt this sort of thing was something the Board would be seeing a lot more of, even if there is a site plan – an effort to modify the site plan.  She stated that it would be a little harder to do, if it was part of the Ordinance, at which time she noted that she feels it is critical that the site plan be part of the Ordinance, for a lot of the cases that come before the Board.

            On a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Pool and carried unanimously, by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved a request from the County Attorney for approval to retain the services of Mr. Bruce Duncan, Attorney, as outside counsel, to represent county staff before the Board of Adjustment, with regard to a case involving a parcel of land located adjacent to the Christopher C. Ford Commerce Park, in Groveland, which is to be utilized for a concrete plant.

            ADDENDUM NO. 1

            REPORTS – COUNTY ATTORNEY (CONT’D.)

            PROPOSED PURCHASE OF 28 ACRE SITE ADJACENT TO DORA CANAL

            Mr. David Hansen, Public Lands Manager, addressed the Board and displayed an aerial of the property in question, noting that it is forested wetlands, with the exception of 1.9 acres that is located along SR 19, and it connects some county owned property that is located along the canal.  He stated that some ideas for use of the property are to possibly have a boardwalk accessing the canal, which has been described as one of the most beautiful waterways in the world, some parking, a picnic area, and some educational features in the upland portion of the property – very passive type uses.

            Commr. Hanson questioned whether there has been any effort to work with the City of Tavares, in sharing costs, and was informed that there has not been any such effort.

            Commr. Stivender stated that she had spoken with the City Administrator for the City of Tavares and feels that the City would be willing to work with the County to help create a park on the site, but that she did not think a monetary commitment would be made.

            Commr. Cadwell stated that he felt said site should be lower on the County’s list than it is.  He stated that it is not what he envisioned the County doing with the land acquisition program, at which time he noted that he would support the request this date, but hoped it would not be a trend of the types of parcels that the County will be looking at purchasing.

            Commr. Hanson stated that there may be an opportunity for the County to offer less than the $300,000.00 asking price.

            Commr. Hill stated that other entities looked at the property, such as the Lake County Water Authority and the St. Johns River Water Management District, but they did not think there was a public purpose to purchasing it, so they did not do so.

            A motion was made by Commr. Stivender and seconded by Commr. Cadwell to authorize staff to negotiate a price of $200,000.00 for said property.

            Under discussion, Commr. Hill stated that she would rather see it as a Conservation Easement, or perhaps a donation to the County.  She stated that it is not the only access to the Dora Canal, so she was not sure the general public would utilize it.  She stated that she feels the County is piecemealing the project, which concerns her.  She stated that she would like to see the County get the most for its money, at which time she noted that there are other properties in the general area that the public would probably use, because they are more easily accessible.

            Commr. Hanson stated that she felt a boardwalk could be constructed, which would be attractive to bird watchers, etc.

            Commr. Cadwell interjected that, if the Board did not approve this request and a year from now a convenience store is sitting on the site, they were going to be sick.  He stated that staff has indicated that they feel the property is worth $300,000.00; therefore, he would recommend that they be authorized to offer said amount to the owner of the property and look at a management plan later.

            Commr. Stivender amended her motion, asking that staff be authorized to negotiate a price of $300,000.00 for said property.

            Commr. Cadwell seconded the amendment.

            The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which was carried, by a 4-1 vote.

            Commr. Hill voted “No”.

            REPORTS – COUNTY MANAGER

            On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously, by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved a request from the County Manager for approval of a Data Entry Operator III position, for the Public Defender's Office; and approval of the related Budget Transfer, in the amount of $21,000.00.

            REPORTS – COUNTY ATTORNEY (CONT’D.)

            SUPPORT OF BILL PENDING IN LEGISLATURE REQUIRING UTILITY

            COMPANIES TO PURCHASE CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

            Mr. Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney, informed the Board that Covanta has requested the Board’s support of a Bill that is pending in the Legislature, which will require utility companies to purchase a certain amount of what is called renewable energy – things that do not come from fossil fuels, of which waste to energy plants meet said criteria.  He stated that the County receives an above the market payment for electricity from the waste to energy plant, because it is a renewable energy source, but that has now gone away.  He stated that this is an effort to make utility companies give priority to those items and pay more for renewable energy and, at the same time, it also provides for some state funding, to help the utilities recover that cost.  He stated that, should the County elect, in the future, to renew or expand the waste to energy plant, this would be an important thing for the County to have available.

            On a motion by Commr. Cadwell, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously, by a 5-0 vote, the Board approved a request from Covanta that the County support a Bill that is pending in the Legislature, requiring utility companies to purchase a certain amount of renewable energy – things that do not come from fossil fuels, as presented by the County Attorney.
