Commr. Hill stated that Tab 12 was a
request that came to the Board each year, and this was the eleventh year. She requested that they move that funding to
the potential SRO (School Resource Officers) increases that the school system
would have that coming year and that the School Board and the Education
Foundation fully support this program for this year. She stated that if the budget came out better
than anticipated next year, then they could consider possibly rolling this back
into the County’s budget. She commented
that she knew they were going to have some SRO requests over and above what
they had last year, and that this would help with those requests.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that even though this was a school program that was run by
the school system, that it really benefited the County, because it targeted
areas where they had children that ended up in the judicial services that they
would have to provide, and this program had helped to divert some kids from
that. He related that they would have to
look hard at all of their programs after the legislature met, but he did not
want to start nitpicking without looking at all of the programs together to be
able to weigh them against each other.
He opined that the money they spent on this program came back tenfold on
what they did not have to spend on law enforcement.
Commr.
Stivender noted that the Parks and Recreation Board was very adamant that this
go through this year, and that they needed to give forewarning and not just cut
it out at the last minute, since summer was almost here. She suggested that this might be something to
look at next year.
Commr.
Hill agreed that this was an excellent program, but that this year it would
focus on the FCAT, which was an educational goal. She opined that the School Board could roll
it into their budget, which would probably be increased by the legislature this
year.
Commr.
Stivender stated that they needed to have the Chairman send the School Board a
letter saying that they needed to be working on putting this in their budget
next year.
Commr.
Stewart stated that she agreed with Commr. Cadwell and Commr. Stivender,
because after teaching in the
Commr.
Cadwell directed Ms. Cindy Hall, County Manager, to have Mr. Fletcher Smith,
Community Services Director, provide the Board with statistics on the targeted
middle schools that they used and the juvenile arrest rate currently and when
the program first started, and use that type of information in their
decision-making process. He encouraged
the Board to approve this today, since it was already budgeted for this year
and the program was already there and ready to begin, and they needed to
participate. However, he commented that
he understood what Commr. Hill was saying.
On
a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Stewart and carried by a vote
of 4-1, the Board approved Tab 12, the request from Public Works to provide
funding assistance to the Lake County School Board Summer Enrichment Program
for middle school children for up to $100,000, with a statement that the
Board’s Chairman send a generic letter to the School Board stating that they
would be looking at their funding of certain joint programs if they were in a
different situation due to legislative action.
Commr.
Hill voted “no.”
Commr.
Renick pulled Tab 16 for discussion.
On a motion by Commr. Stivender,
seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously, by a vote of 5-0, the Board
approved the
Request for approval of Lease Agreement between
Request for approval to advertise ordinance to amend
several sections of Lake County Code.
Commr. Renick stated that she did not have a problem with
Tab 16, but related that she had promised that if there was ever anything that
was controversial at all on the Consent Agenda, she would pull it. She explained that since this item had to do
with Prestige Concrete, it was controversial.
She stated that there were a number of issues regarding where the concrete
plants currently were and where they were planning on moving. She urged staff to get information regarding
standards for heavy industrial uses to the Board as soon as possible. She also related that she had talked to the
Commr. Stivender commented that the site that the Board
had helped Prestige find was in an industrial park, but the problem was that it
had grown residential around it from the municipality and others. She noted that they were in an appropriate
zone, and if they met the County’s site plan requirements, there was nothing
the Board could do about that.
Commr. Cadwell inquired whether Commr. Renick was talking
about changing the LDR’s (Land Development Regulations).
Commr. Renick stated that she was not necessarily talking
about zoning, but that there were measures, such as management practices, that concrete
plants could adopt that would eliminate many of the complaints. She noted that Prestige was on the next DRS
(Development Review Staff) meeting agenda.
Mr. Sandy Minkoff,
Commr. Renick was concerned about protecting the health
and welfare of the residents from the dust, especially those with breathing
problems.
Commr. Stewart commented that the concrete plants could
either be good neighbors or bad neighbors, but the ones she had dealt with were
bad neighbors.
Commr. Cadwell asked Mr. Minkoff about the County’s
review process.
Mr. Minkoff commented that the conflicts were broader than
just the concrete plants. The LDR
adoption process would require going through the LPA (Local Planning Agency)
first before it could come to the Board.
He explained that the Board could choose to retroactively apply land
development regulations, but there would then be an issue of possibly paying
compensation to property owners who were vested or in the process.
On a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr.
Renick and approved unanimously by vote of 5-0, the Board approved Tab 16, as
follows:

Covenants, Woodlands v.
PRESENTATION
– WORKFORCE
Mr. Larry Strickler, Senior Vice President, Public
Affairs, Workforce Central Florida, addressed the Board regarding the goals,
successes, and general information about Workforce Central Florida. He reported that last year Workforce Central
Florida placed 38,000 people in jobs and helped 4,000 employers find, train,
and retain employees. He explained that
every day they worked with local businesses to provide them with employment and
training solutions. He noted that they
primarily used federal funds to work with employers and residents in five
counties, which were Lake,
private sector led Board
of Directors, and that the ratio of the Board was consistent with the
population ratio of the five counties.
He stated that they operated several One Stop Career
Centers and had a mobile unit, which he believed would be in the City of
Mr. Strickler reported that Workforce Central Florida had
recently celebrated their ten-year anniversary, and in that time, they had
placed over 320,000 people in jobs, helped 38,000 businesses recruit and hire
employees, and saved the community over $35 million per year in welfare by
putting people to work that would otherwise be on welfare rolls. He also mentioned that they were working hard
trying to improve the plight of the “working poor.”
He noted that another role of Workforce Central Florida
was as the region’s workforce expert, supplying a lot of the latest labor
market data, such as a survey they did last fall of employers in the region to
identify the workforce challenges employers were anticipating over the next
three years as well as the most effective means of recruiting workers and the
proper training and development needed to meet employers’ demand for skilled
workers. He showed slides relating to
that survey, including statistics showing that the average annual wage in
Mr. Strickler concluded by saying that Workforce Central
Florida wanted to be part of the County’s overall economic development
effort. He opined that existing
businesses were where they needed to invest most of the County’s economic
development dollars, which would give an immediate and better return on their
investment. He also commented that they
could be the extension of the human resource needs of a lot of existing
businesses, including the County government, and they wanted to work with the
County’s Economic Development Departments and any local government that was
involved with economic development.

could not provide, and that LASER would close that gap. He also stated that LASER would still be in

motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously by

CONSTRUCTION
MANAGER CONTRACT FOR DOWNTOWN PROJECT
Ms. Cindy
Hall, County Manager, related that at the Board meeting of April 25, the Board
asked them to reconvene with Balford-Beatty and HLM to see if there were ways
to reconstruct the contracts for the construction manager firm for the downtown
construction project to eliminate any concerns that the County might have about
the new relationship that had transpired because of the acquisition. She reported that legal staff had done that and
met with the legal staff of Balford-Beatty and HLM, who had given them a number
of offerings that had value to remedy the issues related to the relationship of
being under the same parent company. She
stated that they still had concerns about the length of time it would take to
redo the contracts and get a third party as an overseer of the relationship and
the fact that the relationship was different from what the County had
originally contracted for. She related
that their recommendation was that it would be best to issue a new RFP (Request
for Proposal) and find a separate construction manager.
Commr.
Stivender inquired whether going out for a new RFP would extend the time frame
of the project or if revising the original contract would take more time.
Ms. Hall
opined that they would be quite timely going out with a new RFP, since they
already had the contract that they worked out with Centex originally. She thought they could do it expeditiously,
and that there would not be a time delay.
Commr.
Cadwell stated that since staff had not changed their mind and still thought it
was in the County’s best interest to do a new RFP, he believed that was what
they should do.
On a
motion by Commr. Hill, seconded by Commr. Cadwell and carried unanimously by a
vote of 5-0, the Board moved to terminate the current agreement with the
company formerly known as Centex and to issue a new RFP for a new construction
manager.

Commr.
Stivender suggested that under Section 2-90.38(b) (Duties), they should change

LIBRARY
POLICY REGARDING CHILDREN CHECKING OUT R-RATED VIDEOS
Commr.
Renick stated that she received an e-mail from a resident who was concerned
about children being able to check out R-rated videos from
Commr.
Stewart commented that she had the same concerns and did not think that a
ten-year old should be allowed to check out an R-rated video and that some
parents might not be aware that their children were checking those videos out. She relayed that Ms. Breeden was concerned
that it could bring in a lot of other issues regarding restricting what books
could be checked out and other similar issues.
Commr. Stewart believed that there was a compromise that could be
reached to keep inappropriate videos out of the hands of children.
Commr.
Renick pointed out that videos had ratings on them already, whereas books did
not.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that libraries as a whole and probably the Library Advisory Board
tended to overreact a little bit on any type of issue like that, because it was
too easy to get beyond what they were trying to do when access to that kind of
information was restricted. He stated
that as liaison to the Library Advisory Board, he would ask them to develop a
policy that would look at the movie checkouts in particular, and that he
thought they probably needed to do something.
DIVISION
OF FORESTRY DVD
Commr.
Renick related that at the last Regional Planning Council meeting, before all the
fires had started, the Division of Forestry gave out a DVD regarding fire
prevention. She also stated that the
Division of Forestry had a model ordinance in terms of developments keeping
areas cleared and other ways to prevent fires.
