Tuesday, June 13, 2023 9:00 AM SEMINOLE COUNTY, FLORIDA COUNTY SERVICES BUILDING 1101 EAST FIRST STREET SANFORD, FLORIDA 32771 1468 BCC Chambers Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 Page 1 of 1 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 Call to Order Chairman (District 4) Amy Lockhart Vice Chairman (District 5) Andria Herr Commissioner (District 1) Bob Dallari Commissioner (District 2) Jay Zembower Commissioner (District 3) Lee Constantine Present: Additional Attendees: County Manager Darren Gray, Acting County Attorney Paul Chipok, Clerk of Court & Comptroller Grant Maloy, and Deputy Clerk Kyla Farrell. Invocation Pastor Jim Lynch, East Coast Believers Church, Oviedo, gave the Invocation. Pledge of Allegiance Vice Chairman Herr led the Pledge of Allegiance. WORKSESSION AND PRESENTATION AGENDA Chairman Lockhart announced they are going to reorder the morning agenda and have the Wekiva Basin Study worksession before the Library Master Plan Update presentation. 1. 2023-632Worksession - Seminole Forever (Richard Durr, Leisure Services Director) Mr. Durr addressed the Board and presented the Seminole Forever presentation. Vice Chairman Herr referred to the draft criteria and land selection key. She suggested under Natural Lands and Passive Parks criteria they need to add an additional number and they need to address impacts to water. It is important that water needs are stated up front. As part of the two-year prospectus, if ongoing maintenance is not addressed, it needs to be stated very clearly. Regarding the "additional alternative," she doesn't think alternative sounds like additional. It is an alternative to the 5%, and she wants it to be clear that this is not replacing the County's commitment; these are funds that would be in addition to that commitment. Commissioner Zembower discussed fishing and hunting as a passive recreation, and noted he doesn't see anything in the ordinance for that. Mr. Durr explained fishing is covered in other ordinances; however, hunting is not allowed so staff will have to work with Legal on that. Commissioner Zembower requested staff get with Legal regarding hunting so he can have some clarity. Mr. Chipok advised historically, as a policy of the Board, hunting has not been permitted on County property. He asked if it is the desire of the Board to change the policy. There was not consensus of the Board to change the policy. At the request of Commissioner Dallari, Jim Duby, Natural Lands, addressed the Board and provided his opinion on the program. Commissioner Dallari stated when they discussed the ARC committee, they talked about subject matter experts, which is very broad. He would like a list of what those subject matter experts could be to make sure they're truly diverse and that there is a wide variety of individuals so they can get a good cross-reference. Chairman Lockhart added she would also like someone from the disability community. Regarding farming, she would like to look at putting some Page 1 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 qualifiers on low-impact farming or using organic principles so that they're soil building rather than general farming. Commissioner Constantine stated he would like the County Manager to continue to look for revenue sources. 3. 2023-247Work Session - Wekiva Basin Study (Jean Jreij, Public Works Director and Mark Ellard, P.E., Senior Principal/Water Resources, Geosyntec Consultants, Inc.). Mr. Jreij and Mr. Ellard addressed the Board and presented the Wekiva Basin Study. Commissioner Zembower advised he would support filing the FEMA LOMR. Vice Chairman Herr advised she too would support filing the LOMR. She discussed the Impact of New Floodplains chart and asked it to be double-checked and made to be more clear as far as the numbers. She supports the Lake Sylvan Alternative; getting control of it or lowering it. Regarding Lake Markham Alternative, she struggles to think about spending $15M for a handful of properties and asked if it could be an MSBU opportunity. Mr. Chipok answered he doesn't think it would be precluded, but staff can research it further. Commissioner Constantine agreed they should support the LOMR. He does think they need to get the Cities involved in this study and move forward. Commissioner Dallari asked several questions about the presentation answered by Mr. Ellard. Chairman Lockhart noted she is also supportive of the LOMR. She wants to make sure they aren't just doing studies and putting them on the shelf; she wants to see what has been done and what is still a need. She agrees with Vice Chairman Herr that $15M for the Lake Markham Alternative is tough to swallow. She would be happy to partner with any Cities that are willing. Motion by Vice Chairman Herr, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to accept the watershed study and move forward with filing the FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) along with the notion that the public is notified according to the County Manager's direction. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, voted AYE. Commissioner Zembower asked for a round number cumulative of costs associated to deploy the improvements on basin studies done thus far. Mr. Jreij answered a rough number for Midway and Lake Harney would be close to $50M, maybe less. The Little Econ, Big Econ, and Lake Monroe are not complete yet. Hopefully by the end of next year, they will have up-to-date data. Those projects will be buildable and also permittable, and the projects will have to be ranked based on benefit. Discussion ensued, but there was no further direction from the Board. 2. 2023-633Presentation - Library Master Plan (Richard Durr, Leisure Services Director) Mr. Durr presented the Library Master Plan. Discussion ensued and the Commissioners shared their feedback. Page 2 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 Motion by Commissioner Zembower, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to accept the Library Master Plan as a working document; direct staff to begin work on the near-term actions; and direct staff to develop funding strategies for future discussion and consideration with the BCC and all community stakeholders for proposed design and construction of new/expanded facilities. Under discussion, Commissioner Dallari noted in his individual briefing with Mr. Durr, they discussed a library foundation; but he didn't speak about it today. He wants to make sure that that is included in the motion. It wouldn't be in competition with the Friends of the Library. Mr. Durr stated Friends of the Library does a fantastic job, and there are items throughout the year that they are actually funding themselves, which allows the County to move quickly on certain things. This is not that. The idea is that they would run parallel with one another. It is an opportunity through a philanthropic line to bring in large donors. That is the recommendation coming back from the consultant on this plan. They of course need to be able to do that, but how and where they do that is still up for debate. They need to look at a way to be able to take in and raise large sums of dollars philanthropically. Commissioner Dallari advised he wants to make sure the motioner and seconder agree to include that in the motion. Motioner Commissioner Dallari and seconder Vice Chairman Herr both stated they do not want to amend the motion to include that and explained why. Discussion ensued. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. Public Comment Regarding Worksession and Presentation Agenda In regard to public participation on the Worksession and Presentation Agenda, the following spoke to share their comments, suggestions, and concerns: Nancy Prine, Paul Owens, Bill Hyde, Joe Humphreys, Mark Pafford, Gabrielle Milch, Tom Haller (document received and filed), Cindy Haller, and Jay Exum. Phyliss Hall's name was called but she no longer wanted to speak. Speaker Comment Forms were received and filed. Chairman Lockhart recessed the meeting at 11:39 a.m., reconvening at 11:53 a.m. Page 3 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 CONSENT AGENDA – PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Darren Gray, County Manager, advised Agenda Item 14, Budget Amendment Request for the Clerk's Salary Study, has a typo. In the agenda, the BAR is listed as #23-042. The correct BAR is #23-043. Motion by Commissioner Zembower, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to approve the Consent Agenda and Constitutional Officers Consent Agenda. With regard to public participation, Reginald Campbell and Grey Wilson spoke in opposition to Agenda Item 11, Orange Boulevard Improvement Project; no one else spoke, and public input was closed. Public Comment Forms were received and filed. Vice Chairman Herr asked the County Manager to address Agenda Item 11 because the comments did not reflect what the Board is voting on. Mr. Gray explained staff has committed to the community to look again at the placement of ponds that are required for the project . Staff will update the District Commissioner, Mr. Campbell, and the community to ensure that they've located the correct placement for the ponds. They are still in that process, but staff will bring an update to the Board. Vice Chairman Herr confirmed with Mr. Gray that Item 11 does not include a retention pond. For clarification, Commissioner Zembower noted the online agenda and the printed agenda calls for Agenda Items 4 - 19, but it is actually 4 - 20. His motion was for Items 4 - 20, plus the Constitutional Officer's Item 21; and he believes the seconder agreed to that. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. PUBLIC HEARINGS - QUASI-JUDICIAL All five districts submitted ex parte communication (received and filed). 22. 2023-505Store Space Altamonte PD Major Amendment and Rezone - Consider a Rezone from PD (Planned Development) to PD (Planned Development) for a proposed self-storage facility on approximately 6.85 acres, located approximately ¼ mile west of US Hwy 17-92, at the corner of Anchor Rd and Merritt St; (Z2022-19) (Rob Consalvo, Applicant) District4 - Lockhart (Annie Sillaway, Project Manager). Ordinance #2023-16 Ms. Sillaway addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda memorandum. McGregor Love, on behalf of the applicant, addressed the Board, and stated he concurs with staff's recommendation and is happy to answer any questions . Page 7 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 Tree preservation was briefly discussed. With regard to public participation, no one spoke, and public input was closed. Motion by Commissioner Zembower, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to adopt Ordinance #2023-16 enacting a Rezone from PD (Planned Development) to PD (Planned Development); and approve the associated Development Order #22-20500014 and Master Development Plan for 6.85 acres, located approximately 1/4 mile west of U.S. Highway 17-92, at the corner of Anchor Road and Merritt Street; Rob Consalvo, Applicant; as described in the proof of publication. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. 23. 2023-576Valley Creek Run (1252) Board of Adjustment Appeal - Appeal of the Board of Adjustment decision to deny the request for a side street (west) setback variance from twenty-five (25) feet to six (6) inches for a fence in the R-1A (Single Family Dwelling) district, more particularly known as 1252 Valley Creek Run; (Marta Barcia, Appellant) District1 - Dallari (Angi Gates, Project Manager). Ms. Gates addressed the Board and presented the item as described in the agenda memorandum. She advised staff recommends the Board uphold the decision of the Board of Adjustment to deny the request. The Board had few questions for staff. Andrew Gotschall, property owner, addressed the Board and expressed his family's need for a fence on his property. With regard to public participation, Ana Andrade, Mark Boardman, Dr. Daniel Coleman, and Maria Arevalo, spoke in support of the appeal. No one else spoke, and public input was closed. Public Comment Forms were received and filed. Discussion ensued regarding sidewalks, roadway, permitting, and fencing criteria. Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to overturn the Board of Adjustment decision to deny thereby approving the request for a side street (west) setback variance from twenty-five (25) feet to six (6) inches for a fence in the R-1A (Single-Family Dwelling) district; Marta Barcia, Appellant; as described in the proof of publication. Under discussion, Vice Chairman Herr pointed out there is a requirement for a 25-foot setback, but they have allowed homes to be built beyond the point where a 25-foot setback would make any sense. That is a whole separate issue. Ms. Gates advised those homes were approved by Traffic Engineering. In the R-1 and R-1A zoning districts, Traffic Engineering can approve as low as 15 feet without applying for a variance. Vice Chairman Herr stated another way to look at this then is that it is a variance from 15 feet to 6 inches, which is still a significant variance. It is not a 6-inch variance. The process is the process for a reason, but they probably could have come Page 8 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 to a conclusion without the appellant having to go through all of this had everybody worked together from the beginning. They often work, under staff's leadership, to find solutions for the citizens. Commissioner Zembower stated he would like the County Manager to work with staff to determine if some of these items could be a staff-level decision or review without putting the public through the BOA and BCC. Ms. Hammock addressed the Board and discussed what staff is doing to alleviate this type of issue having to go to the Board. Commissioner Constantine stated they need to look at the permitting process as well. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. PUBLIC HEARINGS - LEGISLATIVE 24. 2023-615Public Hearing to enact Resolution confirming the non-ad valorem capital assessment for the East Crystal Chain of Lakes Lake Management MSBU as per Phase I completion and actual cost for Phase I Restoration Services. MSBU District 4 - Lockhart (Michael A. Eason Jr, MSBU Program Manager) Resolution #2023-R-62 Mr. Eason addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda memorandum. Motion by Commissioner Zembower, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute appropriate Resolution #2023-R-62 confirming the non-ad valorem capital assessment for the East Crystal Chain of Lakes Lake Management Services MSBU for Phase 1 restoration and startup costs; as described in the proof of publication. With regard to public participation, no one spoke, and public input was closed. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. 25. 2023-565Adopt a Resolution to Establish Non-Ad Valorem Variable Rate Assessments for Tax Year 2023 (Michael A. Eason Jr, MSBU Program Manager) Resolution #2023-R-63 Mr. Eason disclosed that no notice was given on this item. It is typically brought before the Board in the form of a Consent Agenda item. It was an inputting error when creating the agenda item. Staff realized they entered the item as a Public Hearing item and conferred with the County Attorney's Office who gave Mr. Eason the "okay" to present the item as is. Motion by Commissioner Zembower, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute appropriate Resolution #2023-R-63 confirming the Non-Ad Valorem Variable Rate Assessments for tax year 2023. Page 9 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 With regard to public participation, no one spoke, and public input was closed. Under discussion, Vice Chairman Herr asked if they should put this on the next Consent Agenda so it doesn't cause a problem later on since it was not noticed. Mr. Chipok advised this item does not need to be noticed. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. To further clarify, Mr. Chipok stated this is a Resolution that is establishing the Non-Ad Valorem Variable Rate. It is not setting the rate; it is only staff's suggested rate that is given to the Board to authorize staff to go forward with the formal notification procedure so the rate can then be brought through the process and subject to a public hearing before it goes onto the tax bill. COUNTY MANAGER'S REPORT - Yarborough Property Update, Whealey Acres Update Yarborough Property Update: Mr. Gray reminded at the last Board meeting, they asked him to look at a couple options for Board consideration as they move forward with the Yarborough property acquisition. He has three options. The first would be to continue the current path with the Florida Forever application. The second option is to withdraw from the application process and look at purchase agreements and other grant opportunities. The third option is some sort of hybrid of continuing with the application process while possibly entering into some sort of Memorandum of Understanding. He discussed how an MOU could jeopardize the Florida Forever application process. The Commissioners shared their thoughts on the three options. After a lengthy discussion, it was determined that the Board would like for Mr. Gray to find out, through the Yarborough family representatives, what their expectations are if the Florida Forever Program is not a viable solution. Whealey Acres Update: Ms. Hammock addressed the Board and stated staff wanted to provide an update on a future agenda item regarding Whealey acres, which is an antiquated subdivision that has been previously discussed. The Board had given staff direction to notify the affected property owners, as well as surrounding property owners, and schedule a community meeting. Staff completed both of those requests. Maya Athanas, Planning and Development, coordinated that meeting, so she will provide the update. Ms. Athanas addressed the Board and provided the Whealey Acres update (received and filed). There was Board consensus to move forward with staff's recommendation. Announcement: Mr. Gray introduced new employee Kristian Swenson, Assistant County Manager. Mr. Swenson will be supporting Public Works, Environmental Services, and Leisure Services. Andrea Wesser-Brawner, Director of the Office of Strategic Initiatives, has also joined the team. She will be supporting Economic Development, Tourism, and Strategic Initiatives. COUNTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT Mr. Chipok had no report. Page 10 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 DISTRICT COMMISSIONER REPORTS 2, 3, 5, 1 and 4 District 2: No report. District 3: Commissioner Constantine advised he received a report from FDOT at the last Wekiva River Basin Commission meeting, and they believe that the Wekiva Parkway will be open all the way through before Thanksgiving. He noted that the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) is going to have their annual convention in Orange County on June 27. There is a BCC meeting that day, so he may need to leave early. District 5: Vice Chairman Herr noted events she's recently attended and commended Mike Eason, MSBU, for sending a recognition email (received and filed) regarding the efforts of Latoya Hinson at FPL. Motion by Vice Chairman Herr, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to appoint Jeff Wallis to the Contractor Examiner Board, term ending December 31, 2023. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. Motion by Vice Chairman Herr, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to appoint Tracy Wallis to the Seminole County Industrial Development Authority, term ending December 31, 2026. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. Vice Chairman Herr advised she has spoken with the County Manager regarding the idea of dashboards on the key strategic initiatives. She has also requested an ARPA update to make sure they are getting everything committed. District 1: Commissioner Dallari announced County Attorney Emeritus Bryant Applegate has been awarded the 2023 Claude Pepper Outstanding Government Lawyer Award. He would like the Board to recognize Mr. Applegate for that award. Mr. Chipok advised the Board can recognize him during a morning session with a proclamation. There were no objections. Commissioner Dallari discussed Brumley Road and an email he received from Mr. Jreij regarding FDOT reclassifying some local roads. He would like staff to individually brief the Commissioners on the reclassifications; and then, if needed, bring it back for Board discussion. Commissioner Zembower asked for a memo before the briefings with more information regarding what control the County may or may not have. District 4: Chairman Lockhart advised she would like to appoint Stephanie Sparks to the Committee on Aging as the End of Life/Hospice representative. Ms. Sparks would be replacing the former representative by completing the first term ending December 31, 2024, and starting a full second term ending December 31, 2027. Ms. Sparks was approved by the Committee on Aging at their May meeting, but the BCC needs to make that official. Page 11 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to appoint Stephanie Sparks to the Committee on Aging as the End of Life/Hospice representative to a term ending December 31, 2027. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Chairman Lockhart discussed events she's recently attended. She advised the search for a County Attorney has hopefully come to an end, and thanked everyone for the time they've invested in the County Attorney and County Manager searches. COMMUNICATIONS AND/OR REPORTS 1. Notice of Central Florida Expressway Authority Public Information Meeting re: State Road 417 to Orlando Sanford International Airport Connector, to be held on June 20, 2023. 2. Copy of a letter dated May 23, 2023, to Governor Ron DeSantis asking for support of two PECO appropriations for Seminole State. 3. Letter received June 1, 2023, from Seminole County GOP re: Resolution “Ban the Jab.” 4. Letter received June 1, 2023, from Ryan Adamkiewicz, 1041 Arden Street, Longwood, re: North Street traffic and capital improvement issues. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS - None Requested PUBLIC COMMENT (Items not Related to the Agenda) David Smith addressed the Board to highlight alternatives to the representation of the Midway community. There was Board discussion, and Vice Chairman Herr advised she has been in contact with Mr. Smith regarding the needs of the community. Public Comment Form was received and filed. Chairman Lockhart stated typically Public Comment at the end of meetings is for items that the community would like the Board to take action on. It is not an opportunity to get things on the public record. The Board is going to have to determine whether or not Public Comment is a time for creating a case and putting things on the public record, or is it a time to make comment for action that the Board is being requested to take. This may seem like a gray area; but Public Comment time is being used for purposes other than communicating directly with the elected body; it is being used to broadcast an agenda to the greater community at large. She is not saying that that is what Mr. Smith is doing. At some point in time, they need to figure out why the Board is being addressed. Vice Chairman Herr agreed that that is a really important distinction. She stated she will take direction from the County Manager and County Attorney and communicate that back to Mr. Smith. Page 12 of 13 Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes June 13, 2023 ADJOURN BCC MEETING There being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned at 3:17 p.m., this same date.
