public health

At this time, Wendell Mohr appeared before the Board, informing it that he has been mashing old junk cars and hauling them to Tampa and had talked to the County Engineer and Commr. Deems about the possibility of using the old County clay pits for mashing cars and then hauling them off.  It was suggested that Mr. Watkins get with Mr. Mohr and pick out designated areas for doing this and that they should get in touch with Mr. Yoder and Gene Smith and make sure the contract with Gene Smith is not being violated and work it out so it would not jeopardize the contract with Mr. Smith.

Chairman Hoskinson brought to the attention of the Board a communication from the Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services requesting support and cooperation in the implementation of provisions of Chapter 406, Florida Statutes, establishing the Medical Examiners Commission within the Florida Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services, creating among other things Medical Examiner Districts and requesting an attached nomination form be completed and returned to the Chairman of the Medical Examiners Commission.  On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. VanAuken and carried, the Board authorized the Clerk to complete the nomination form in accordance with the request and enter thereon the name of Dr. William H. Shutze of Leesburg.

At this time, Glen LaRoe appeared before the Board and stated to it that the County Engineer had tried to negotiate for clay from the county dump on his property rather than place a lien upon the property.  Mr. LaRoe did not want to go on this premise.  He stated that the dump is burning now, apparently struck by lightning.  Commr. Windram suggested that an estimate be made as to what responsibility was the County’s and to trade out the balance of the responsibility.  The Board directed Commr. Windram and Mr. Harpster to get together with Mr. LaRoe and come to some settlement; then bring it back before the Board.

The County Engineer informed the Board that the Lisbon dump on Radio Road between US 441 and SR 44 will be closed to dumping Monday, September 13.  Commr. Windram suggested that a sign be erected at the dump site in Lisbon stating that the effective closing date of the site was Sept 13 and directing people to the new landfill site in Tavares.  Also, he suggested that the landfill site in Tavares should be prepared and proper signs erected.

A representative from Montverde appeared before the Board regarding a garbage franchise for Montverde.  The Board informed her that they could operate within the City of Montverde, but not outside of the City and that there was a franchise freeze at this time.  However, the Board informed her that it would be in a position to consider the new franchise within approximately thirty (30) days.

road closings

It now being the time advertised to consider a Petition for closing a dedicated road, the Chairman asked for objections if any to said vacation of a platted street.  The Clerk read to the Board a letter from Ruby Sapp, in which she objected to the closing of said street.  After some discussion and study of a map of the area, on a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried, a Resolution was adopted vacating the following described street:

Lots 15 and 16, Block 3, Lisbon Subdivision; and the West 240 feet of the Northeast ¼ of the Northeast ¼ of the Southwest ¼; the North 555 feet of the East 420 feet of the Northeast ¼ of the Northeast ¼ of Southwest 1/4; all lying and being in Section 35, Township 18 S., Range 25 E.

The County Engineer brought to the attention of the Board the request of Mrs. Paul Commander and Lou Bethea for the closing of County Road #2-3212 through their property to the Palatlakaha Creek and recommended to the Board that Lake County retain the title, since the property is required for drainage.  The Board instructed Mr. Harpster to contact Mrs. Commander and ask her to give a drainage easement to the County, and it will then approve the closing of the road.

pollution control

Mr. Peter Rhoads, Project Director of the Oklawaha River Basin Study, appeared before the Board, explaining to the Board about the program of the Oklawaha Basin Plans, speaking particularly of a plan on sewage disposal which will be countywide.  Mr. Rhoads presented a water quality management plan for the Oklawaha River Basin.  He is taking all former studies and compiling them into one complete comprehensive and workable plan, the aim being to develop plans to stop pollution from going into the Oklawaha Basin.  The major activity will be preparing a master sewage plan for the entire county, which he said he hoped would be fully prepared by the end of 1972.  They are conducting an agriculture drainage analysis and are also analyzing development goals and constraints.  Mr. Watkins said Lake County is a leader in the southeastern United State in this type of study.

Commr. Windram brought to the attention of the Board that the Pollution Control Department would like to have an office in the old Health Building if one is available.  On a motion by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr. VanAuken and carried, the Board authorized the use of an additional office and restroom in the Old Health Building to be used by the Pollution Control Department.

Chairman Hoskinson directed the County Engineer to make a study of recommendations for an air conditioning and heating system in the old Health Building for the office space provided for the Pollution Control Department.

Commr. Joseph F. Gautier from Putnam County, Eric Watson from Volusia County, and several other interested parties from the counties appeared before the Board at this time with reference to control of the hyacinths in the St. Johns River.  One of Mr. Gautier’s suggestions was that through a Special Act, all Counties fronting on the St. Johns River should be required to levy an extra dollar on fishing licenses for the improvement of fishing and stated that Putnam County is now doing this.  He spoke of control of water hyacinths by mechanical means and would like to see a coordinated effort to find some solution for controlling by an aquamarine machine the spread of hyacinths in Volusia, Putnam and Lake Counties, also Seminole County and others further down the River and stated that more background information was needed and more pilot experience.  He said that Putnam County has the complete cooperation of the State Department of Natural Resources and the Corps of Engineers.  Mr. Gautier distributed to the Board copies of a Memorandum Agreement between Putnam County and Aquamarine Company and would like Lake County to appoint some coordinating agency to coordinate efforts on controlling water hyacinths.  He submitted to the Board a Report from the St. Johns River Improvement Association as to how far they have gone in a concentrated effort for water hyacinth control.  Mr. Ed Zagar with the Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission said that the Aquamarine Company was the same one whose machine we had experimented with several years ago.  Mr. Gautier told the Board that they are trying to develop some commercial use for water hyacinths and requested that an approach to this problem be made on a multi-county basis rather than a single County basis.  He stated that we could get 70 percent federal funding if the counties can come up with an operational idea for control of aquatic hyacinths in the State of Florida.

It was moved by Commr. Windram, seconded by Commr. VanAuken and carried that Lake County participate in any multi-county program for controlling hyacinths and for fish restoration.

Mr. Gautier inquired of the Board if it would be possible for Putnam County to have some prisoner labor from Lake County, just for the experimental aspect of the pilot effort, and the Board agreed to this as long as the prisoners would be working in Lake County.

Chairman Hoskinson brought to the attention of the Board a letter from the Pollution Control Department with reference to attending a meeting in Polk County.

Chairman Hoskinson presented to the Board a letter from A. Senkevich, P.E. Regional Engineer for Central Region of the State Department of Air and Water Pollution Control requesting the Board to submit an overall pollution abatement plan for Pollution Control’s approval on or before Sept. 30, 1971 and that such abatement plan should include a definite implementation schedule.  The Clerk was instructed by the Board to write a letter to Mr. Senkevich informing him that the Pollution Control Department and the Planning & Zoning Director were working on a plan and that Mr. Senkevich could be on the Agenda for the September 21 meeting if he so desires.

Attorney Ford informed the Board that he and Phil Edwards had attended a meeting in Orlando on pollution control, at which meeting the Proctor and Gamble Company stated that it needed time to eliminate the phosphorous from their soap products and that the Company made a firm commitment that it would do this.

ordinances

Bryan Daigneau of 1000 Griffin Road, Leesburg, appeared before the Board, stating that he disapproved of the Ordinance per se with reference to controlling rock festivals, which ordinance will come up for a public hearing on September 21.  He stated that it tends to ban and annihilate festivals entirely.  He also stated that the Ordinance gives the County too much power; this it has implications he does not feel are right; that the news media has brainwashed the public as far as rock festivals are concerned; and that the minimum age stipulation of eighteen should be eliminated.  Chairman Hoskinson suggested to Mr. Daigneau that he put his objections into writing for the Board’s consideration at the public hearing on September 21.

outdoor recreational facilities

Chairman Hoskinson spoke to the Board about control of some of our open spaces and recreational areas and about going on a program to buy up some of these spaces and areas.  He suggested that a Committee be appointed to see if there is enough interest and feasibility in such a project for it to be put on a referendum for a bond issue to purchase some lands.  He also said that there are federal funds available to give the County fifty percent of the money necessary for this. He wants to appoint a committee representing all of the areas in the county, about fifteen (15) people, and have them come back with a report in about 90 days on the feasibility of going ahead with such a program, on the presumption that it would be advisable to try for a Special Election preferably, so it would not be confused with anything else.  The Board instructed Chairman Hoskinson to go ahead with this idea.

county judge – juvenile division

Judge Milton appeared before the Board with reference to the Youth Services Complex.  He suggested that since the Merit Board met at 2:00 this afternoon, and Robert Stroud, Charles Davolie and Sam Hill, all with the Division of Youth Services, would be at that meeting, that it would be nice to invite these men to the Board meeting, so that the Board could ask them any questions that they wished about the Youth Services Complex.

Later in the day, Robert Stroud, Federal Consultant; Charles Davolie, Coordinator of Youth Services; and Sam Hill, regional Director for the Bureau of Field Services, Division of Youth Services, appeared before the Board and explained all about the functions of the Youth Services Complex and answered the various questions of the Board Members.

Carson, seconded by Commr. Windram and carried, this action by the Chairman and Planning Director was approved.

Ed Zagar of the Game & Fresh Water Fish Commission requested permission of the Board to go into the Lake County end of Lake Apopka in order to do some seining in accordance with the Seining Program.  The Board granted his request.

Chairman Hoskinson brought to the attention of the Board a communication from the State Dept. of Community Affairs requesting that he and the County Welfare Officer attend a meeting in Tallahassee tentatively planned for Sept. 29, 1971 to try to establish more effective lines of communication between the State and County governments in matters related to rural problems, particularly those associated with agriculture and its labor force.  On a motion by Commr.
