CONSENT AGENDA

***County Administrator's Organization***

Affordable Housing Office A-1 Approve budget amendment reducing the FY 05 - 06 State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program

Grant revenue and expenditure appropriations by $4,467 in order to bring the budget in line with actual revenue received. This budget amendment reduces total revenue by $4,467 from $9,796,402 to $9,791,935 and decreases Florida Home Partnership First Time Home buyers expenditures from $378,250 to $373,783.

Aging Services A-2 Approve an agreement between the Aging Services Department and The Centre for Women, Inc. for the

purpose of entering into a collaborative agreement to identify clients ages 60 and over who may have possible problems with medications and/or other substance use/misuse issues. This agreement does not have a financial impact on the Aging Services budget.

Code Enforcement A-3 Approve the release of the demolition lien and cost assessed by Resolution # 95-044 in the amount of

$3,406.24 against the property located at 2401 S. 77th St, Tampa, FL 33619 folio # 46220.0000 for the cost incurred by the County for the demolition and removal of a deteriorated structure and removal of trash, junk and debris. The fiscal impact of this agenda item will be the realization of revenue in FY08.

A-4 Approve a resolution assessing a lien in the amount of $7,926.69 against the property located at, 13006 Darla

Dr, Riverview, FL 33569, folio # 077690.5132 for the cost incurred by the County for demolition and removal of a dilapidated mobile home and removal of trash, junk and debris. The $7,927.69 incurred to demolish and remove the structure was funded from the Code Enforcement FY08 adopted budget. Upon sale of the property, all costs incurred will be reimbursed to the County.

County Administrator A-5 Approve the proposed additions, deletions, and modifications to the BOCC's Strategic Plan objectives, as

identified in the attached spreadsheet. The primary financial impacts are: $83,785,000 in capital and operating expenses for new fire rescue stations from FY08 - FY13 to lower response times, and $500,000,000 in CIT revenues for transportation improvements to improve the levels of service on regulated county roads. These funds are provided in the County's budget and capital improvement program. The amount of funding expected for more law enforcement personnel to help reduce crime rates has not been identified. If further property tax revenue losses occur due to constitutional or legislative action, changes in these objectives will be needed to adapt to the reduced revenues.

A-6 Approve proposed Agreement with Bright House Networks. This agreement would provide $150,000 in

advertising credits to the county, and $5,000 in cash. The equipment needed to provide access to county facilities would be free, along with video on demand and I-polling capabilities.

Final BOCC Agenda Thursday, January 03, 2008 County Attorney's Office A-7 Receive report from the County Attorney's Office regarding a new Administrative Directive regarding County

Provided Cell Phones. A-8 Approve the agreement between the County and Fish Hawk Trails Homeowners' Association, Inc. for a two-

year period, agreeing that the County, through the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office will exercise traffic control jurisdiction over the roads within Fish Hawk Trails. Approval of this item will have no financial impact on the FY08 Adopted Budget.

A-9 Approve the agreement between the County and the Andalucia Master Association, Inc., for a two-year period,

agreeing that the County, through the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office will exercise traffic control jurisdiction over the roads within the community of Andalucia. Approval of this item will have no financial impact on the FY08 Adopted Budget.

Criminal Justice Community Liaison A-10 Approve a $2,485 reduction in appropriations in the FY07 State Byrne Grant and increase Reserves for

Contingency in the Countywide General Fund by the same amount in order to return unused county funds to close out the State Byrne Administration grant. This budget amendment will reduce the FY07 State Byrne grant budget by $2,485 and increase the Countywide General Fund reserve by the same amount.

A-11 Approve budget amendment realigning $1,332 in Federal Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) and $318,193 in

State JAG funds to bring in line with the actual grant amounts for approved programs. The $319,525 realignment of funds will decrease grant personnel costs by $1,447 and realign funding between programs with the Sheriff's office, USF and City of Tampa Police. It will not increase or decrease the Community Liaison's adopted FY08 operating budget.

Debt Management A-12 Approve staff's recommendation to realign appropriations of residual bond proceeds from three bond issues so

that the corresponding project funds can be closed upon completion of these expenditures. This budget amendment will transfer a total of $4,458,604 of residual bond proceeds from three bond issues dating between 1996 and 2001 to currently active CIP projects and debt service funds that are eligible for such funds. There is no increase in total funding for any capital project. This transaction uses bond funds currently on hand for already budgeted projects, which reduces the funding needed from future CIT, non-ad valorem and general obligation revenues as described in the background.

Emergency Management A-13 Accept the Third Modification to the Homeland Security Grant Agreement from the State of Florida

Department of Community Affairs, Contract #06-DS-3W-08-39-01-404 to: (1) Develop and train additional Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) that will provide support to the County's disaster recovery Points of Distribution (PODs), (2) Assess County temporary housing sites and critical facility power requirements for use during disaster recovery operations, (3) Confirm National Incident Management System (NIMS) compliance in use by all County and City departments and agencies.

No County funds are required.

A-14 Accept and approve the First Modification to the Homeland Security Grant Agreement from the State of

Florida Department of Community Affairs to: (1) Provide training for supporting communications interoperability during events within the County, (2) Perform assessments on critical facilities' long-term electrical generator needs, (3) Perform assessments on risk and vulnerability to the County's information


technology system, (4) And purchase items in support of the Emergency Management Public Education/Outreach program.

No additional County funds are needed.

Fire Rescue A-15 A) Approve the first modification of the 2006-2007 State Homeland Security Grant Agreement with the State

of Florida Department of Financial Services. This amends the grant end date from January 31, 2008 to May 31, 2008 and reduces the grant amount by $127,704. This will change the amount of the award from $420,411 to $292,708 available to the program sub recipient agreement for expenditure of Local Government Unit Funding to the Florida Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Task Forces. The funding is being reduced because the State provided and paid for USAR Specialist Classes and Urban Flood training directly. B) Reduce $127,704 in revenues and expenditures in the FY07 USAR equipment grant funding to bring the current budget in line with the revised grant agreement. This reduces the amount of grant revenues and expenditure funding in Fire Rescue's operating grant budget by $127,704.

Fleet Management A-16 Appropriate $7,463,506 from the reserves in the Replacement Program Fund to cover the cost of purchases that

were not invoiced by FY07 year end. This reduces the Replacement Fund reserves by $7,463,506 from $28,222,002 to $20,758,496 and increases the operating funds by the same amount with zero impact on the bottom line.

Health And Social Services A-17 Approve Coordination Contract with MacDonald Training Center, Inc. for transportation disadvantaged

services for clients of MacDonald Training Center, Inc. for the period of January 3, 2008 through December 31, 2010.

This Agreement requires the County to pay 'Friends' an annual management fee of $380,000.00 for the management, operation and promotion of the CCC; however, this fee will be reduced in years 3 through 5 by a percentage of the net revenues generated by the CCC.

to consider the adoption of an ordinance amending the Hillsborough County Consolidated Impact Assessment Program Ordinance 96-29 (Ordinance), as amended. This proposed amendment would clarify that school impact fees may be utilized to address the costs of constructing transportation improvements necessitated by new school facilities. Approval of this item may result in school impact fees being utilized to fund the construction of transportation improvements necessitated by new school facilities in place of other County funding sources. Planning & Growth Management prepared a report dated September 25, 2007 containing detailed examples of previous transportation expenditures necessitated by the construction of new school facilities. The following example (extracted from that report) is an example of a previous expenditure, and is not intended as a projection of future transportation costs, as these costs will vary depending on the condition of the transportation system in the vicinity of the new school facility and the availability of alternative funding sources to fund such improvements. 'CIP # 69103 Montague Street between Hillsborough Avenue and Waters Avenue was designed and built to improve the County's roadway network, and at the same time provided required access to Alonso High School at no cost to the School Board, except for the donation of right-of-way required for the new road extension from Bella to Old Memorial Highway.
