WATER AUTHORITY

Mr. Will Davis, Director of Water Authority, appeared before the Board to discuss several ideas that the Water Authority Board has been considering in terms of expanding the Aquatic Weed Control Program. Mr. Davis stated that in the past the County had offered space to the Water Authority to store their chemicals at the Mosquito Control facility. Mr. Davis further stated that the Water Authority has gone from 100 acres a year to over 1,000 acres a year in treatment, which would require as much as 10,OOOO gallons of material. Mr. Davis stated that the Mosquito Control facility would no longer be of adequate size for the storage of the chemicals. Mr. Davis informed the Board that the Water Authority has been renting private space since June in a local storage facility warehouse for the storage of those chemicals.

Mr. Davis requested the Board consider the option of leasing the 13 acres at the Agriculture Center, which the Water Authority considers an excellent site for a storage facility. Mr. Davis stated that the structure would consist of a concrete base floor with a metal building, and the placing of a loading ramp in the ground.

Commr. Windram stated his concern regarding the chemical cost of Aquatic Weed Control, and questioned the new approaches and hope for biological control.

Discussion occurred regarding the preparation of

sterilization for the grass carp.

Commr. Carson questioned the cost effect of the construction of a building versus renting space from someone for the next year or two. Commr. Carson suggested Mr. Davis research the figures on costs and return to present them to the Board at a later date.

Commr. Smoak suggested taking a second look at the Mosquito Control facility, keeping all cost factors down as low as possible: and postpone any action on other alternatives and recommendations from the Water Authority until a later date.

ROAD-COUNTY AND STATE/PUBLIC WORKS

Michael Willett, Director of Development and Public Works, addressed the Board regarding a request asking the State to conduct a traffic study at the intersection of Highway 27 and Highway 19.

evaluation at the intersection of Highways 19 and 27.

PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT/CETA-PIC

Mr. Glenn Timmons, Director of Personnel, appeared before the Board and introduced Mr. Jim Flowers, Director of the Private Industry Council, who presented to the Board a proposed

FIRE DISTRICTS-FIRE DEPARTMENTS/REPORTS

Mr. Joe Stephany, Emergency Services, appeared before the Board to discuss the Lake County Fire Protection Study of October, 1983. Mr. Stephany stated that the Board had directed him to find out what other counties with characteristics similar to Lake County were doing about fire protection. Mr. Stephany further stated that he visited Brevard, Citrus, Marion, Polk, and Osceola Counties during July and August, and the results are detailed in his report which he distributed among the Board.

Mr. Stephany stated that he visited the Fire Administration in Washington and reported a Sequence of Fire Events and Associated Optimal Fire Protection System Responses found on pages 5 and 6. Mr. Stephany also directed the Board's attention to the pages 25- 33, Tables l-6, which consisted of the summary tables and findings and facts between the six counties.

Ml-. Stephany informed the Board that he found in the Countywide Fire Protection an evolutionary process from independent, purely volunteer, to tax supported; then to special fire districts; then emerges into paid fire departments. Mr. Stephany stated that a structural tax mechanism is equitable in counties experiencing agriculture to urban growth. Mr. Stephany informed the Board that Polk County and Osceola County are using structural tax, Polk County since 1975.

Discussion occurred regarding the fire districts going out of their boundaries.

Chris Ford, County Attorney, reported that the County can expand the district, or if it is a municipality, you can have an Inter local Agreement.

Michael Willett, Director of Development and Public Works, stated that the Board could put it on the ballot and gerrymander the line so that not all large agricultural areas are included; or do away with the present financing system and go to a structure tax where agriculture might pay a minimum ad valorem plus cost of structure, or pay just for the structures; or look into the contracting with the fire chiefs about the potential administrative problems. Mr. Willett stated that a new district under the special district provisions require that a city be involved and the Board act as the governing body.

Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney's Office, addressed the Board regarding a proposed Ordinance that was voted down by the Board which would have involved contracting outside of the fire districts. Mr. Minkoff stated that the County Attorney's office is in receipt of a request from Pasco Fire District, and a beginning request from Mt. Plymouth, to begin extending their boundaries. Mr. Minkoff further stated that he felt the two municipalities were waiting for some action from the Board, but suggested the expansions be drawn to exclude those areas that would clearly not benefit by increased fire protection, if that is possible.

Commr . Smoak questioned a contract legally being drawn between the Board and the fire district commissioners to expand their services beyond their existing geographical boundaries without including all lands in between the furthest points, meaning only with people who want the services.

Mr. Minkoff stated that the County had attempted by proposing an Ordinance, which was rejected, that would have given the municipalities the authority. Mr. Minkoff further stated that he felt by contracting with the County the municipalities have the authority now.

Discussion occurred regarding the structure tax.

Commr. Smoak stated that he felt people expected fire protection without the additional taxing. At this time Commr. Smoak suggested taking some type of affirmative action.

Chris Ford stated the report indicates that 75% of unincorporated areas are receiving fire protection from various fire departments.

Commr. Smoak stated that the insurance companies are reviewing all of their fire protection areas and the language set in their policies for structures in Lake County.

Mr. Minkoff stated that the County could enter into interlocal agreements with the cities to provide protection in the unincorporated areas with the county paying. Mr. Minkoff further stated that the area where the majority of the fire districts are located, each of the districts has an agreement with each of the municipal fire departments where they mutually aid each other and go into each other's territory being Mt. Dora, Eustis and Leesburg. Mr. Minkoff stated that the County cannot grant the cities power to individually contract with County residents on a one by one basis.

Commr. Carson stated that the residents of a voted district provide the capital to place the fire station and equipment there. Commr. Carson questioned the liability the County would have if, an engine leaves the district, under contract for a fire, when another fire occurs at the same time within the district. Mr. Ford stated that the County and the municipalities would always be subject to a suit.

Mr. Minkoff informed the Board that the County can contract with any city to provide fire protection in an unincorporated area, the contract being between the County and the city, and if County pays the city to provide the services, but the County cannot give the power for the city to contract with individuals outside of the cities.

On a motion by Commr. Smoak, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board directed the County Attorney's Office to construct a document, for review by the County

Commissioners, and subsequently be presented to the tax supported fire districts, volunteer districts and cities for their comments, stating alternative ways through inter-local agreements to extend fire protection in Lake County.

Discussion occurred regarding the different revenue structures for the fire districts.

Mr. Walt Zeiner, Pasco Fire District, appeared before the Board and stated that he did not feel that the agreement between the County and city would work unless the whole area was taken in, not just certain portions. Mr. Zeiner suggested the hiring of a Fire Administrator to handle all operations from one central point for all districts. Mr. Zeiner also expressed his concern regarding the liability aspects of going beyond the geographical boundaries.

MT. Charlie Bl ymyer, Bassville Fire District, appeared before the Board and suggested the County Building Department be sent to the State for training in school to become knowledgable about fire protection and building codes.

Commr. Smoak suggested Mr. Stephany continue to work with the County Attorney's office in developing alternatives for fire protection that would work in Lake County.
