Approval of August 16, 2006 minutes

Motion to approve minutes by Commissioner McLean, seconded by Mayor Maingot. Motion carried unanimously.

Chairman Morris continued that an item that was not on the agenda, but which could be taken back to the respective entities is a presentation by Don Fisher on the upcoming Natural Lands referendum. At the last BCC meeting, the county moved forward on this referendum to take before the voters on November 7^th.

Mr. Fisher stated this is a question that will be presented to the voters on whether they would be interested in a dedicated .2 mils for a period of 10 years that would go to the purpose of acquiring and building natural lands properties and acquiring and building additional trail segments and bridges.

Steve Olson, Community Information Director, stated an education campaign will be out in the public during the upcoming months and gave a brief overview of the power point presentation available. Chairman Morris continued there will be a mail out to every registered voter household in the county which will explain the program, cost factors, and length of time. This referendum would begin in 2008, with no associated debt, with no less than 50% going to Natural Lands and the remained could go to the trails. This would allow the trail program to be completed and to add or enhance up to 4,000 acres of natural lands. There is an advocacy for the issue but not on how to vote. He continued that any city that would like to support this referendum would be welcomed.

Discussion continued on the existing trails, upcoming plans for trails and the future plans of connectivity throughout the county.

Streetsweeping Recommendations – Kim Ornberg, Seminole County,

Ms. Ornberg stated the recommendation was to maintain the status quo at this time. By looking at the table provided there shows a great variability of level of services provided by each entity. In the future when DEP develops an actual pollutant load credit for streetsweeping for TMDL this may need to be readdressed for a cost benefit.

Commissioner Henley stated this makes the assumption that everything is going well, but in the unincorporated areas of the county with heavy trees, there is a lot of debris. He feels that once a quarter is not sufficient. Perhaps some areas in the county could be better served by contracting with neighboring cities and he will be asking the County to discuss providing that service with Altamonte Springs. Chairman Morris added that perhaps the County could be better served in some areas by contracting with the cities that do in-house streetsweeping.

Chairman Morris asked that a summary be provided with this recommendation as well as the handout presented to the elected officials in the cities.

Update on Stormwater Interlocal – Kim Ornberg, Seminole County

Ms. Ornberg presented the preliminary draft of the Interlocal Agreement for Total Maximum Daily Load Activities (received and filed). The committee will review and discuss this at the upcoming meeting the first week of October. This is an agreement to agree on a variety of areas and would like to have this brought back at the next meeting for action.

Commissioner Henley complimented the committee on their efforts and continued this does provide participation flexibility for each entity and to what extend. There is a lot of flexibility but does call for cooperation between entities. Mayor Goff stated he may have concerns on the cost sharing issues and would like to see the County adopt a dedicated funding source.

Discussion continued on funding and regional issues facing each entity regarding stormwater.

Community Development Presentation - Tim Wilson, City of Altamonte Springs

Mr. Wilson gave an overview of the handout provided (received and filed). He stated the four action plans for the property addressing (issue area 9) are 1) update the Uniform Addressing System Ordinance and renew every 5 years; 2) readopt updated interlocal agreement; 3) establish standard operating procedures to standardize process and procedures; 4) identify action plan for areas for special review.

Mr. Wilson continued by briefing outlining the issues regarding building code enforcement and code enforcement (issue areas 1, 3, 4, 5). Additional issue areas (2, 6, 7, 8) will be presented at the October meeting.

Motion to endorse the subcommittee’ recommendation on Issue #9 by Commissioner McLean seconded by Mayor Kuhn. Motion passed unanimously.

Update on Parks/School Board Interlocal – Joe Gasparini, Seminole County

Ms. Gasparini referred to the draft Interlocal Agreement for Joint Use of Real Property provided in the agenda packet. This document was forwarded to the school board for attorney and staff review in April and has not received any response back from the school. Chairman Morris stated he will contact the Superintendent to determine the status of this agreement.

Update on Sports Commission Presentation to Cities – Joe Gasparini, Seminole County

Mr. Gasparini reported approval has been received from the BCC and Lake Mary; Altamonte Springs and Longwood will have discussions this month; Oviedo will wait until the Interlocal Agreement with the School is finalized before moving forward; Winter Springs has indicated they will stay involved, but have not formally adopted this agreement. Chairman Morris stated that each entity either needs to be in or out. The idea was not to require anyone to have to use their facility, but to participate in a process to show what the assets are and the availability. If a city does not have the ability to provide at a certain time they can still participate in choosing events. Commissioner Henley added the idea is to collectively decide which venues to go after and each municipality will review their availability.

Discussion continued on city participation and the goals and purpose of the Sports and Events Advisory Committee.

Status of remaining Technical Committees – Marilyn Crotty

Ms. Crotty stated the only group that has given an update recently is the Fire/EMS group. They had four items to review, two of which they have decided to delay until the efficiency study is completed – the first response agreement and joint planning for level of service and station locations. These will be dependent on the outcome of the consultant. Mr. Fisher stated the RFP has been issued and the deadline date is October 4^th. The committee to review the submittals is made up of a member of each city and the county. The proposals will be distributed to each city for review, they will then meet and a ranking list will be created.

Chairman Morris stated this issue does not need to be presented back to this committee, but would be presented to each entity for approval.

Ms. Crotty continued the two items remaining the Fire/EMS group was studying is the review of the fire sprinkler ordinance. She states the Fire Chiefs have an on-going group that meets monthly. This ordinance has been referred to that group’s subcommittee. The second area of study is the CAD system. The County has met with four vendors who have the capability to provide this service. An RFP is being put together with funding and costs available for the next fiscal year. Commissioner Henley requested the School Board be contacted regarding this issue.

Ms. Crotty continued the Water Cooperators will present information at the October meeting. Several of the subcommittees will also present final recommendations and status reports at the October meeting.

Chairman Morris asked for specific updates from the subcommittees on any underway issues. He continued that this committee is still waiting for the maps showing impair water bodies and the status of the sixteen basin studies. Commissioner Henley stated to it would be helpful to pull information from this report at budget time.

Mr. Gierach added the City of Jacksonville, the St. Johns Water Management District and the State have committed about $700 million on the clean-up of the north area of the St. Johns. There will be pressure in our area to also clean up the river.

Chairman Morris continued the County is engaging in a county-wide synchronization beginning along Lake Mary Boulevard. The State is also participating with the County on several roads and he asked for a report on the corridors that will be included as well as details on the safety signals at the crosswalks. Discussion continued on the advantages of traffic synchronization, the costs, the timing of implementation and the need for cooperation between all jurisdictions.

Chairman Morris stated the November meeting will be the last meeting. The one issue that will continue will be Fire/EMS study and this committee could reconvene after the study is completed.

Marty Chan stated the Private Business Association adopted a resolution addressing the insurance crisis and asked that each city and the county support this effort. The goal is to present signatures to the Seminole Legislation and ask for an in-depth investigation into this issue and come up with a viable solution.

Being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 5:00
