PRESENTATIONS
LADY LAKE GOLF CART TRAIL
Mr. Greg Eller, a resident of Water Oaks, in the Town of Lady Lake, addressed the Board, representing the Steering Committee for Improving the Environment, and gave a slide presentation regarding the proposed development of a golf cart community, with access for the handicapped. He referred to a law that was passed in 1992 – the Disabilities Act, which allows for any mobility scooter, powered wheelchair, or any mechanism that is used by the handicapped to drive on city streets, county roads, and state and federal highways, at which time he noted that a lot of people are trapped in their homes, because the County and the Cities do not have a mechanism for them to use, making them dependent upon others. He noted that he has been working on this project since 2004 and has met with the Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization (LSMPO) several times during that time and supports their work 100%. He indicated that he contacted Congressman Cliff Stearns’ Office about this project and was advised to take it before a municipal body, thus, his reason for giving this presentation. He addressed the fact that the cost of fuel (estimated to be $210 per barrel by the year 2010), food, and public transportation is increasing, as is green house gases, and there are environmental changes in the weather, as well, which can all be addressed by implementing new programs, such as recycling; a no burning ban; car pooling incentives; work from home programs; eliminating consumption of fossil fuel, whenever possible; small scooters, motorcycles, and gas golf carts, as well as the use of bicycles and electric golf carts.
Mr. Eller stated that his group would like for the County to assume the responsibility of linking the following areas in Lady Lake and surrounding communities into a golf cart trail network, thereby reducing energy consumption, green house gases, protecting the environment, and reducing handicapped residents’ dependency on others: The new mall in Lady Lake, Target Shopping Plaza, Spanish Springs, Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Lady Lake Town Hall, the U.S. Post Office, Recreation Plantation, Water Oak Country Club Estates, Hill Top Manor, Blue Parrot, the Lakes of Lady Lake, and the Quarters Apartment Complex. He stated that they were also requesting that the County complete a comprehensive study of the cost of such a network, both short and long term, and to include both golf carts and bicycles; coordination with a golf cart trail network and the LSMPO; to conduct a comparison study related to existing streets in Lady Lake, presently utilizing motor vehicles, bicycles, and golf carts; evaluate both Sumter and Marion County bicycle and golf cart regulations, to insure compatibility; and to review Town of Lady Lake Ordinance Nos. 2003-15, 2003-27, 2003-109, regarding the operation of golf carts in Lady Lake, for adoption by the County, for this program. He suggested that a news release be prepared, for release to the media on September 1, 2008, announcing a ground breaking ceremony for Phase 1 of the proposed project and that honored guests include the Governor, State of Florida Representatives, Florida U.S. Congressmen, Florida U.S. Senators, the Board of County Commissioners, the Lady Lake Town Commission, members of the Steering Committee for this project, and the Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization. He submitted, for the record, a booklet containing information from his slide presentation, the Lady Lake Ordinances he referred to, emails, newspaper articles, charts, etc., pertaining to the subject matter, as well as a photograph showing a street in the Town of Lady Lake, containing a golf cart and bicycle path, as well as a Traffic Study that was conducted for Griffin Avenue and CR 25, in Lady Lake. He noted that one of the emails was from Chief Ed Nathanson, Lady Lake Police Department, dated 2006, which states that any community can become a golf cart community, as long as the municipality that governs it declares it as a golf cart community. He stated that the Steering Committee was respectfully submitting their request for the Board’s consideration and approval and suggested that everybody “Think Green”.

presentation about walkable communities was given at the last Florida

CONSERVATION AND COMPLIANCE
Mr. Gregg Welstead, Conservation and
Compliance Director, addressed the Board stating that on July 3, 2008, at 10:00
a.m., the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) will be holding a
public workshop in the BCC Chambers, for comments on their proposed change to
the irrigation rule. He stated that the
third public workshop regarding the matter was scheduled to be held in
Considerable discussion occurred regarding the issues involving the proposed irrigation rule and how it will be enforced and the fact that the purpose of the new rule is to scale back the usage to what is actually needed for the turf and landscaping. Due to the fact that there is currently no restriction on said watering, it was noted that it will be up to the homeowner to be responsible and not over water their landscaping.
Mr. Welstead informed the Board that the SJRWMD is proposing to limit irrigation wells, where reclaimed water is available, which will produce a significant change in the mindset of the general public. He suggested taking it one step further, as a recommendation, to rather than limit it to anywhere that reclaimed water is available to anywhere that a central water system is available. He commented that there are concerns both ways on the issue, noting that, from the Cities’ perspective, if they are concerned about their Consumptive Use Permit, they may want irrigation wells, because the volume of water does not affect it, but, at the same time, no one is monitoring it, so the irrigation wells could run continuously.
Commr. Renick commented that some cities do not allow irrigation wells, because central water is available, and what is happening in some places is that irrigation wells are being installed in some of the cities, which defeats the purpose of the Conditional Use Permit and looking at water usage, when there are those cities that are unregulated. She noted that it was something she would be discussing with the Water Alliance, to see which cities are looking at it and which ones are not.
Mr. Welstead shared with the Board
an incident that occurred recently involving a resident of the City of
Commr. Hill questioned what chemicals are allowed to be in reclaimed water, to which Mr. Welstead responded that the Department of Environmental Protection has established those standards in their permits, but that he did not know what they were. He did state, however, that it has to be water reclaimed out of a municipal wastewater system.
Commr. Cadwell commented that industrial reclaimed water is at a different level, thus the reason they have their own private spray field and it is contained. He stated that the level of reclaimed water that cities are producing is at drinking water standards.
Commr. Stewart interjected that
reclaimed water does not necessarily mean that it is safe, noting that many
people pour their expired medicines down their drains, which goes into our
water system. She stated that dolphins
were found off of
It was noted that the Board’s backup information regarding this request contained the SJRWMD’s document (Notice of Development of Rulemaking), indicating what they want to change and Mr. Welstead’s comments regarding their proposed changes.
Mr. Welstead stated that, as far as the suggestion that the cities be allowed to schedule an extra day for the reclaimed water, he feels, based on conversations from the last public workshop, the SJRWMD understands that it is an issue that they have got to address. He informed the Board that one other issue that needs to be addressed, as far as the acceleration of the process is concerned, is what they currently have scheduled, which is as follows:
June and July - workshops
September, 2008 – permission to publish proposed rule
November, 2008 – public hearing on final rule
December, 2008 – file rule, for adoption
March, 2009 – rule becomes effective
Mr. Welstead noted that the conservation restrictions will not be in place for this year’s winter season.
With regard to the request from Mr. Welstead for direction from the Board related to the SJRWMD’s proposed irrigation rule, in preparation for the rule-making workshop to be held July 3, 2008, Mr. Welstead was directed to just observe the rule-making workshop and bring back to the Board, in the form of a memorandum, any outstanding comments for them to weigh, in their consideration of the proposed rule.
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND REDEVELOPMENT
JOBS GROWTH INVESTMENT TRUST FUND AWARD
Ms. Dottie Keedy, Economic Growth
and Redevelopment Director, addressed the Board stating that this request
involves the last application that was received for the Jobs Growth Investment
(JGI) Trust Fund Award Program, before it was temporarily suspended. She stated that it is from Lakeside
Electrical Contractors, located in the City of
On a motion by Commr. Hill, seconded by Commr. Stewart and carried unanimously, by a 4-0 vote, the Board approved a request from Economic Growth and Redevelopment for approval of a Jobs Growth Investment (JGI) Trust Fund award to Lakeside Electrical Contractors, LLC, in the amount of $28,000.00, for the creation of 14 qualifying positions, paying at least 115% of the Average Annual Wage for Lake County, or at least $17.54 per hour, for Incentive Category II - Service/Distribution Companies, at $2,000.00 per job created -Commission District 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL UTILITIES
INITIAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION FOR
COLLECTION, MANAGEMENT, AND
DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE AND RECOVERED MATERIALS FOR FY 08/09
Mr. Daryl Smith, Environmental Utilities Director, addressed the Board stating that this request was for approval of Initial Assessment Resolution No. 2008-93, for the Collection, Management, and Disposal of Solid Waste and Recovered Materials for FY08/09, including a proposed maximum residential assessment of $184.00; and to establish a Public Hearing date of September 9, 2008. He noted that the Board can make a determination as to what the final rate will be at the public hearing.
Commr. Renick questioned whether staff was thinking about raising the tipping fee and was informed that they were not, at this point in time – that the increase would be just for the assessment.
A motion was made by Commr. Renick and seconded by Commr. Cadwell to approve the request.
Under discussion, Commr. Stewart commented that she feels the Board needs to do whatever it can not to raise any fees, because there are citizens that are worried about putting food on the table and $10 is a lot of money to them right now. She noted that approval of this request was just for the public hearing and that the Board was setting the maximum fee, but that it did not mean it was going to happen.
Commr. Cadwell interjected that the
Commr. Stewart stated that she feels the County needs to make it very public that that is what is happening and that it is what the Board is aiming for.
Commr. Hill commented that she is

Commr. Renick stated that she understood the Board was going to have a discussion about the maximum fee and the fact that it could not go any higher than $184.00.
Ms. Cindy Hall,
Commr. Stewart stated that she feels, when Ms. Hall presents the budget to the Board, there is going to be a better understanding of it, but that she wants to make sure they keep the costs to the citizens down as much as possible.
The Chairman called for a vote on the motion, which was carried, by a 3-1 vote.
Commr. Hill voted “No”.
PROCUREMENT SERVICES
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH
(PCARD) SERVICES
Mr. Barnett Schwartzman, Procurement
Services Director, addressed the Board stating that this request is about increasing
revenue to the County, noting that there are two primary aspects to the
request, the first being that the County’s current PCard Program is based on
piggybacking the State of Florida’s contract, which gives the County a .4%
rebate. He stated that
On a motion by Commr. Hill, seconded by Commr. Stewart and carried unanimously, by a 4-0 vote, the Board approved a request from Procurement Services for approval of an Interlocal Agreement with Polk County for Procurement Card (PCard) Services, with authorization for the County Manager to execute associated documentation and notification of potential use of PCard as an alternate payment process.
PUBLIC WORKS
Mr. Jim Stivender, Jr., Public Works Director, addressed the Board stating that, on May 27, 2008, a presentation was given to the Board by a group from the Miracle League and the Kiwanis Club and that staff was directed to put a layout together, showing how the Miracle Ballfield and a traditional softball field will fit on the Lake Idamere site. He stated that said layout was prepared by Mr. Bobby Bonilla, Director, Parks and Trails Division, Public Works, which he reviewed with the Board, pointing out the location of the proposed ballfields, as well as a wooded area that will be set aside for a hiking trail. He requested the Board’s approval for staff to pursue a grant, to help in the funding of the Miracle Ballfield, as well as the traditional softball field that is planned for the park, and to accept donations raised by private organizations to help fund the design and construction of the Miracle Ballfield, noting that it was part of the overall plan to accept said donations, to develop the site.

CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD
Mr. Roy Hunter, Northeast Lake Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Board stating that the bus that runs to Deland from Paisley on Fridays is supposed to average 10 riders, to justify it continuing to run the route, and that he was glad to report that there were 18, 11, and 16 riders over the last three weeks, in fact, noted that they had to get a bigger bus, because the response has been so good. He commended the drivers, Rick, Mark, Eric, and Denise, for being good drivers and going out of their way to help the patrons get on and off the bus and thanked Mr. Tommy Carpenter, Emergency Operations Manager, who used his own time on a Saturday morning to train residents in the area how to use a weather radio.
Mr. Hunter stated that, with regard to the Niagara Bottling Company, mentioned earlier in the meeting by Commr. Renick, and the fact that they are supposed to be selling their water in Florida, due to the State of California being in a drought condition, he feels they will be shipping water from Florida to their headquarters in California. Concerning an issue involving the use of golf carts in the Lady Lake area, which was presented to the Board earlier in the meeting, he noted that a gentleman from Lake Kathryn has a patent for a solar panel that is installed on the top of a golf cart and used to run it, eliminating the need for electricity or fuel, and that he felt it was something worth checking into.
