Mr. Brad Bauserman, Recycling Coordinator, appeared before the Board to discuss the request to approve the bid by Peterson Outdoor Advertising for the preparation and placement of four billboards advertising recycling in Lake County for one year, in the amount of $1,000.00 per month, and approval for the Chairman to execute the services contract.

Commr. Swartz stated that he would be more comfortable using the funds in another area, such as recycling and literature

pertaining to recycling, and providing organizations and gatherings with the recycling videos for presentations. He suggested that staff reconsider the expenditure and explore something that relates more directly to the public. Commr. Bailey agreed with the aspect of more recycling.

Mr. Thelen stated that the County is committed to use a certain amount of the funds for educational purposes.

Commr. Bakich stated that he would like to see something more direct being done, such as providing literature and recycling videos to the schools, with Commr. Gregg stating that approximately 30% of the County's population does not have children.

Mr. Bauserman stated that the billboard suggestion was made by a local environmental group in Lake County. He stated that he is administratively tied to the office, and he is unable to provide the necessary public education needed from the program.

Commr. Swartz suggested that staff go back and review alternatives to be used to educate the public on recycling, and present recommendations at a later date.

It was the consensus of the Board to have staff come back with options to review.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES/LANDFILLS

Mr. Don Findell, Director of Environmental Services, appeared before the Board and stated that the Operation Plan for Danis Industries' Construction and Demolition Debris Landfill has been prepared and reviewed by the Pollution Control staff and is recommended for Board approval.

Commr. Swartz questioned the future traffic impacts and improvements being needed in the future, with Mr. Jim Stivender, Director of Public Works, discussing this issue with the Board.

Commr. Swartz stated that would like to see the Plan be reviewed, if there are significantly different traffic impacts.

Mr. Richard Walker, Professional Engineering, appeared before the Board and stated that the Department of Transportation and County permits are based on estimated traffic count information supplied by Professional Engineering. Should those estimates

exceed those numbers, those permits can be revisited by either DOT or the County.

Commr. Swartz made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Bailey, to approve the Plan, with the amendment to add language that would indicate that, should the traffic counts be reviewed by DOT or Lake County Public Works, and exceed the indicated numbers, the County will have the ability to review the permits, and perhaps require additional traffic improvements.

Ms. Cecelia Bonifay, Attorney, appeared before the Board and discussed the criteria contained within the County MP ordinance.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, with the Plan being approved, as amended above.

ACCOUNTS ALLOWED/CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS

$20,000.00.

CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS/GRANTS/OUTDOOR RECREATION

RESOLUTIONS

Mr. Chuck Pula, Parks and Recreation Coordinator, appeared before the Board to discuss the request for approval of the Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator Program, the grant application, and a resolution for execution of a joint participation agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation. Mr. Pula stated that a few of the job duties of the Coordinator would include writing a comprehensive Bicycle/Pedestrian plan with a countywide Bicycle/Pedestrian system; promoting non-motorized transportation; working with Rails-to-Trails; and reducing non-motorized traffic accidents. These duties are to be accomplished through the use of education, engineering, enforcement, encouragement and implementa

tion programs. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) hasindicated that funds are now available to Lake County, and will fund a salary of the coordinator, in the amount of $21,000.00, for 1990-91, upon receipt of the grant and approval and signing of a joint participation agreement. The position will be located in the Department of Public Works, Parks and Facility Division, with local funding using CTT funds to match the $21,000.00 funding by FDOT.

Commr. Bakich stated that he was concerned with the idea of needing a fulltime person to complete these duties, but feels that the program can be handled by the Lake County Parks and Recreation Department. He further stated concerns with the use of CTT funds, and the impact on the County budget, and questioned the expense.

Mr. Jim Stivender, Director of Public Works, appeared before the Board to discuss the request. Mr. Stivender stated that Lake County did not take advantage of this grant application last year, because Lake County did not have Mr. Pula. The intention was to have the Coordinator for one year, for educational purposes, and, if the State did not fund the next year, the position would be terminated.

Commr. Windram stated that he was concerned with having to fund this position year after year, with the possibility of the grant running out, because of State shortfalls, and the County having to keep the individual on the County payroll.

Commr. Bailey stated that he was also concerned with the funding, and would not have a problem if this was a long-range plan.

Mr. Al Thelen, County Manager, stated that the Rails to Trails project is moving slowly, due to Mr. Pula's time being consumed by other duties.

Commr. Swartz stated that the gas tax monies are to be used for transportation related issues. He stated that alternative transportation routes should be considered, with safety being a legitimate reason to do so. He further stated that the State is

offering the County an opportunity to do this, and that the County should accept this offer. Ms. Eloise Fisher, Eustis, stated that Florida has the highest death rate on bicycles, and by developing bicycle corridors would give alternative transportation. Ms. Fisher discussed previous bicycle programs developed by the County, that a Coordinator could continue to work on. She further discussed the County assisting in the placement of a corridor from Winter Garden to Clermont, which is going to become an enormous transportation mode for the schools. Ms. Fisher stated that the project will directly help all of the people in Lake County.

Commr. Gregg stated that the program will cost taxdollars, and he felt that bicycling is more of a form of recreation, and not a means of transportation to and from work. He further stated that the Board needs to prioritize requests being made for funding.

Commr. Bailey made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Swartz, for the Board to approve the request for the Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator Program, the grant application, and a resolution for execution of a joint participation agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation.

Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, informed the Board that Page 1, Section 2, lines 28-31 needed to be struck from the resolution. The Chairman will be executing the application.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, with the motion being carried.

Commrs. Windram and Bakich voted "no".

Ms. Lustgarten stated that she has requested that they submit monthly bills in the future.

ill. Mr. Stivender stated that Public Works will be trying to work out a payment plan with Mr. Thomas.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES/LANDFILLS/ORDINANCES

Mr. Don Findell, Director of Environmental Services, appeared before the Board and stated that, at the July 31, 1990, meeting the Board requested that staff and consultants initiate work in three areas toward implementation of the Full-Services Solid Waste Collection Plan: (1) prepare an early implementation schedule for full-service collection; (2) prepare a draft "mandatory collection" ordinance; and (3) work with the existing waste haulers to delineate franchise areas.

Mr. Bob Hawfield, Camp, Dresser & McKee, appeared before the Board and discussed the schedule for the mandatory solid waste collection system using a non-ad valorem assessment, and the procedures to be followed to implement the system. He also discussed working with the haulers and maintaining their billing systems from now until the implementation of the system.

Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, stated that the Property Appraiser sends out the trim notice, and the Tax Collector's Office sends out the tax bill.

Commr. Swartz stated that he was of the understanding that staff was to prepare an early implementation plan for going to the franchise areas, with the full-service collection to occur at the beginning of October, 1991, with Mr. Hawfield stating that this was his understanding.

Mr. Findell stated that the Board has two alternatives, one alternative being to proceed with the schedule, as outlined, to establish mandatory collection basically by October 1, 1991, with the second alternative being to establish mandatory collection sometime after the first of next year, and to accomplish that, the County would have to work with the existing haulers, within the existing franchise areas, to allow them to bill customers, with the County reimbursing the haulers as the revenues are received.

Mr. Thelen stated for clarification that, if the franchise ares are divided, the haulers will bill the customers they serve, and will also bill them for solid waste.

Commr. Swartz questioned whether the County is going to negotiate the arrangement with the haulers, or if the County will go through a bidding process. He stated that he understood that the County will be negotiating with the haulers for the franchise areas, which will prove to be a more workable situation, but would be more comfortable bidding the price, and limiting the bidding the price to Lake County haulers.

Commr. Gregg stated that the Board agreed to negotiate with those franchise haulers, but did not say we would bid it, with Commr. Bakich stating that his understanding of the last discussion on this issue was to protect the present haulers.

Commr. Swartz continued to discuss the bidding process and stated that he felt there will be benefits, and a reduction in costs, to the people in Lake County using this process. He stated that he did not feel that the best price for the people of Lake County can be established without bidding the price. He further stated that it was not his intention at the last discussion held on this issue to support a complete negotiation, but to give the County the ability to bid prices rather than strictly negotiate prices.

Commr. Gregg stated that, if this was something totally new to the County, he would have no problem with the bidding process, but felt that the intention of the Board was to protect the existing haulers, and not to put anyone out of business, who has had a viable operation in this County.

Mr. Findell stated that staff and CDM has met to negotiate with the five existing haulers to negotiate the franchise areas, and are in the process of establishing the market shares for each of the haulers. He proceeded to discuss the preliminary procedures that have taken place with the haulers. Hopefully the necessary

numbers will be in place at the end of the week, and preliminary negotiations can begin.

Commr. Bakich stated that it was the feeling of the Board that Mr. Findell and staff are proceeding in the direction that the Board expressed earlier, and at this time.

Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, stated that the Board has a copy of the preliminary rough draft of the ordinance, which requires that all accumulation of solid waste be collected by either the County, or a franchise collector, and it does provide for exemptions.

Commr. Swartz discussed the definition of containers within the ordinance, and suggested that this be addressed for clarification. He suggested that staff consult with other areas that are using a mandatory collection, and see what type of containers are being used, and what types of problems are being encountered, if there are any.

COUNTY PROPERTY/LANDFILLS

Mr. Jim Miller, Tom Grizzard, Inc., appeared before the Board for a workshop on the land acquisition for the landfill. Mr. Miller presented a chart for the Board's review, which illustrates the area being negotiated for purchase by the County. At this time, he discussed negotiations made with for the Thompson property (931 acres), and the Bradshaw property (360 acres). Mr. Miller also discussed alternatives for more of a buffer around the site.

Discussion occurred regarding the County attempting to acquire an option on the property with the right to exercise the option once the County is able to permit the property for landfill purposes. Discussion continued regarding the option of condemnation, and taking the risk of not being able to permit the property for use as a landfill, because of the reluctance of the owners entering into a lease agreement, and not receiving their money for one year to eighteen months when the permitting is completed.

Commr. Swartz discussed an option of paying the property owners for a period of time, in order to obtain the necessary

testing, in order to determine if the property is permittable, with Mr. Miller stating that this is being done.

Commr. Gregg made a motion, which was seconded by Commr. Windram, to proceed with condemnation, and request Mr. Miller to continue negotiations with the property owners, as discussed above.

Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney, discussed the adoption of a resolution, with a deposit of funds into the courts registry, with the issue going before a jury trial. She stated that she would be seeking outside counsel for this specialized area of law. She further stated that the State Statute requires that the County pay both our fees, as well as the fees of the defendants, expert fees, and, if there are business damages, the County would be responsible for those, as well. The action of the Board would be to bring back the necessary resolution to be adopted, and authorizing the condemnation proceedings.

The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, to include the necessary resolution, as stated by the County Attorney, with the motion being carried unanimously.

RECESS & REASSEMBLY

The Chairman announced that the Board would recess for five minutes.

CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS/MENTAL HEALTH

Mr. Jack Hargrove, Lake-Sumter Mental Health, appeared before the Board to discuss the request from Lake-Sumter Mental Health Center to assign the Lake County lease with Lake-Sumter Mental Health Center to a local bank, in order that the bank can establish collateral value in the building constructed on the property.

Mr. Hargrove stated he has a proposal from Barnett Bank to refinane all of Lake-Sumter Mental Health's property, in essence of placing it into one mortgage, and then borrowing approximately $300,000.00 additional money. In looking at the collateral interest in all of the property, the Bank decided that the collateral is good, but it does not want any of the collateral interest in the property on Tally Road, which is financed through

Farmers Home Administration. The remaining property would be short of collateral to meet the bank's required ratio. The Bank would like the building and the Dixie Avenue property to support the loan, which would require, according to the lease, an assignment from the County for the lease to support the loan. Mr. Hargrove discussed other proposals from other banks.

Ms. Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attoney, stated that the lease needed to be reviewed, in order to determine the liability, if any, it may create for the County.

On a motion by Commr. Swartz, seconded by Commr. Bailey and carried unanimously, the Board approved the request from Lake-Sumter Mental Health Center, as stated above, subject to the County Attorney's review of the lease, the use of the collateral against the loan, and for the necessary documents to be brought back to the Chairman for signature.

ACCOUNTS ALLOWED

On a motion by Commr. Swartz, seconded by Commr. Bailey and carried unanimously, the Board approved the ratification of the Board on financial items which needed to be paid prior to the Board meeting.

EDUCATION/RESOLUTIONS

On a motion by Commr. Bailey, seconded by Commr. Swartz and carried unanimously, the Board approved the resolution supporting the "Disabled Student Awareness Day" on October 18, 1990, through the Lake-Sumter Community College.

There being no further business to be brought to the attention of the Board, the meeting adjourned at 11:55 a.m.
