Discussion occurred regarding the bids received on Project #10-83, Design Build Construction Lump Sum on Boy's Ranch Road Altoona Road and #5-8273. The recommendation of the staff was that the bid be awarded to the low bidder, Leecon, Inc.

Commr. Burhans moved, seconded by Commr. Carson that the bid be awarded to Leecon, Inc., low bidder.

Mr. Craig Butterfield, Superior Asphalt, addressed the Board regarding these bids. Mr. Butterfield stated that it was his impression that contractors must comply with the green book for the State of Florida and the Lake County Subdivision Regulations under the design build construction bidding process. Mr. Butterfield stated he had a problem in that Leecon had bid on a 15" drain pipe whereas the Subdivision Regulations required an 18" cross drains. Mr. Butterfield stated both Superior Asphalt and two other contractors had computed their bids based on 18" drain pipe.

Mr. Willett stated this had been discussed and Leecon had stated should the engineer require it, an 18" cross drain would be installed at the same price. Mr. Butterfield stated that his firm would also drop to the price and did not feel this was a fair way to handle this.

Considerable discussion occurred regarding the meaning of the design build construction concept. Mr. Willett stated that the bids did not have to conform to the County Subdivision Regulations.

Commr. Smoak stated that if all the bidders had bid on the same specifications then Superior would have been the low bidder.

Christopher Ford, County Attorney, stated that he did not feel it was mandatory under the design build concept that the subdivision regulations would control construction of any roads except for those in new subdivisions.

Mr. Gray, Leecon, Inc., stated that there were different requirements in the green book for the State of Florida and the Subdivision Regulations and that the County had in the past gone back and upgraded a great number of these projects subsequent to the award of the bid.

Commr. Carson called for the question and the motion carried to award the bid on Project #10-83, #5-8572 Boy's Ranch Road, #5-8272 Altoona Road and #5-8273 Design Build Construction Lump Sum Project to Leecon, Inc., in the amount of $83,848.00. Commr. Smoak voted "NO" and requested the Attorney refer to Robert's Rules of Order, in that he felt that a second and a vote was required on a calling of the question in order to end the discussion.

Commr . Smoak requested in the future that these items be resolved with the contractors prior to the bid opening or at least prior to presentation to the Board.

COUNTY EMPLOYEES/PUBLIC WORKS/LAKE COUNTY JAIL

Mr. Willett presented to the Board a memorandum dated April 1, 1983, regarding the effectiveness of working prisoners from the Lake County Jail versus the feasibility of a labor force consisting of paid employees. Mr. Willett stated that the State of Florida had required that the guards be certified corrections officers for any positions that have become vacant over the past few years. Mr. Willett stated that institutions start a certified corrections officer at a salary of $12,300 to $12,600 per year with our starting salary being $9,800 per year. Mr. Willett also stated that a fluctuation o f the number of sentenced prisoners in jail on any given day made it difficult to schedule work projects, not knowing how many workers would be available. Mr. Willett stated that the County would see a cost savings of approximately six to seven thousand dollars, without considering the fact that the pay should.be increased to compete with other institutions for the prison crew guards, within a one year period.

Sheriff Noel E. Griffin, Jr., addressed the Board and stated that although he had no objection to abandoning the road crew, he felt the citizens of Lake County want the prisoners to work.

Mr. Willett presented a fiscal year 1982-83 budget for the Prison Guard Crew at $72,000.00 vs. a proposed labor crew budget of $65,000.00.

Jerry Sexton, Planning and Zoning Coordinator, addressed the Board explaining that this Ordinance would allow an administrative variance on allowing building permits to be issued on certain lots without going through the Board of Zoning Appeals. The variance would be allowed if an individual only owns one (1) lot of record of any size fronting on an unmaintained street or if contiguous individual lots have been aggregated into one (1) lot, and the individual does not own any other lots on the street.

Discussion occurred regarding the possibility of requiring a notice be recorded when contiguous individual lots have been aggregated into one lot, that if said lot was divided in the future the recorded document would state the lots would not be buildable. Mr. Sexton stated that the building permit would indicate those three lots as being one and should they be split and sold the road would have to be improved prior to a building permit issued.

Mr. Sexton recommended that should the Board wish to do this that this Ordinance be adopted and an amendment be considered at a later date.

No one present wished to discuss this Ordinance with the Board.

Commr. Smoak stated that Mrs. Kuharske's understanding is that when the County deeded the property back to the Kuharske family after extracting the clay, that the intent was to use it as a landfill site with the County assisting the Kuharske's in covering the garbage until such time as the pit was filled.

Commr. Smoak stated that the Kuharske's had been cited with a code violation due to this landfill and they feel the County has some responsibility in assisting them with the problem.

Commr. Smoak suggested that Mr. Willett research the feasibility of using this as a landfill site until such time as it was covered and seek D.E.R. approval to use this as a landfill site.

The Board requested that Michael Willett appear before the Code Enforcement Board to place this item on hold and to communicate with the Kuharske's regarding the actions of the County to try and resolve this. The Board also requested that this be researched by the Public Works Department and County Attorney to see if any documentation could be uncovered to substantiate this.

Due to the necessity of the Sheriff's Department Mr. Ford stated it was the recommendation of the Building Committee that an emergency be declared in order that the Board could authorize this work to be done as soon as possible.

Smoak that it would take an additional four to six weeks to bid the job and stated that since it was a remodeling job, it was not the feeling of the Building Committee that a better price could be obtained by bidding.

This program would require the department heads to come before the Board to explain how the money will be utilized in order to give the Board and the department heads a method to evaluate whether or not the objectives of the Board were being met. Mr. Willett stated that the steps required for successful implementation were as follows:

1. Setting Objectives: Objectives are usually formulated in conference between superior and subordinate in clear concise statements. The objective should be tangible, measurable and verifiable.

2. Action Planning: Once the objectives have been identified, a realistic method of achieving the objectives must be developed. This step should include a listing of actions to be taken and a schedule showing expected completion dates.

3. Progress Review: There should be a systematic monitoring and measuring of performance. When behavior deviates from the standards established in the first step, action should be taken.

Mr. Willett stated that actual steps to implement this process are as follows:

1. Each department under the Division of Development and Public Works (Building, Zoning, Planning, Pollution Control, Public Works; other division functions such as landfills and fairgrounds would not be treated separately) develops the following:

A. Roles and missions - establishing the reason for the department's existence.

B. Key result areas - outlining three to five specific areas of critical importance which should achieve positive results in one, two or three years.

C. Indicators - stating of those factors that can be measured, that can be looked at within key results area, to give an indication of effective or ineffective performance.

D. Objectives - statements of measurable results to be achieved. Should relate to one or more of the department's key result areas and indicators.

E. Action plans - the sequence of actions to be carried out in order to achieve the objective.

2. Board of County Commissioners reviews these plans and approves or requests revisions.

3. Objectives should be presented to the Board just prior to, or just after, the budget process.

4. Division of Development and Public Works will hold meetings prior to the development of objectives and provide needed training to implement the process.

5. Board of County Commissioners will be provided with progress reports on each area on a quarterly basis, or as outlined in the objectives.

6. Should funding, legislation or Board change of priorities require the revision of an objective, the Board will be kept apprised of changes.

7. Development of objectives will be an annual process with adequate opportunities for evaluation and feedback.

Mr. Willett responded to a question of the Board that he did not feel that implementation of this program would lessen the need of the liaison Commissioner policy of the Board.

On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr.
