Fonda Davis, Erik Lovestrand, and Commissioner Jackel were in attendance. This is what was agreed. The county will start active enforcement on Monday, March 9. Until further notice this will be the procedure. On Tuesday morning, Parks and Rec personnel will be on the beach to tag personal property as a reminder that unattended personal property has to be removed by 9 PM. So Tuesday will be known as “Tag Day.” We will put notices out but not pick up Tuesday night, but on Wed. night Park and Rec employees will drive the beach with a motorized vehicle and trailer and will remove unattended items after 9 PM. It is important to note that if someone is enjoying the beach at night, perhaps fishing and sitting in chairs, personal equipment that is attended to will NOT be removed. The public beach is open 24 hours a day so if someone is on the beach and using their equipment the county will not pick it up. It is only “unattended” items that will be removed. On Saturday morning Parks and Rec crews will return to the beach to clean the beach and remove unattended items again. The Board discussed staffing for this project. Commissioner Parrish discussed the education process that is needed in order to inform everyone. The Board discussed the tweaking of the language regarding this Ordinance. 3- Board discussion of Vrooman Park FRDAP grant and T-Ball field configuration. There is room to reconfigure the T-ball field in its current location, but the paved walking path will have to be


moved, which means the relocated section will lose its asphalt service and will probably be lime rock. Board direction. This item was addressed earlier in the Meeting. 4- Inform the Board that DOT is seeking public comment on a multi-modal path from Carrabelle Beach back to River Road. The project includes approximately one mile of paved path and 2500 feet of elevated boardwalk. Every property owner within 300 feet of the project has received a letter about the project. DOT will have to acquire additional ROW for the project and the ROW acquisition is slated for 2019. 5- Inform the Board that the City of Carrabelle and DOT are still working on the sidewalk project going north on Tallahassee St/ CR 67. The notices to the property owners should have gone out at end of February. If there are no objections then the project will proceed, and ultimately the county will administer the project as approved by the City and DOT, as the City is not LAP certified. Mark Curenton holds the LAP (Local Agency Program) certification on behalf of the county. 6- At the last meeting the Board asked me to provide a recommendation on 2 personnel issues: A) Starting salary for new Veteran’s Affair Officer- this position is a department head. I recommend a starting salary of $35K as this is what the last department head was hired at. The position will have regular retirement benefits. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, to approve starting salary of $35,000 for Veteran’s Affair Department Head with regular retirement benefits; Motion carried 4-0. B) I am still working on the salary recommendation for Mr. Fonda Davis and will have it at the next Board meeting, but in the meantime the Board can authorize the creation of an entry level Parks and Rec position since it is doing away with a separate Parks and Rec Director position, and let Mr. Davis fill that position from the current pool of applicants. The busy season for Parks and Rec is coming up and Parks and Rec needs a full work force. This item was addressed earlier in the Meeting. 7- Inform the Board I have approved an in-house transfer out of Parks and Rec to fill the courthouse maintenance position so that Mr. Fonda Davis now has another vacancy to fill under his supervision from the current of pool of applicants. This item was addressed earlier in the Meeting. 8- Provide Board with copy of Small County Solid Waste grant for file.


9- Provide copy of bridge inspection report for bridge over Womack Creek. The final analysis of the report is that “based upon our recent (2015) field inspection and the 2011 load capacity analysis, posting restrictions (for weight) are not considered necessary at this time.” 10- Inform the Board that both the City of Apalachicola and the City of Carrabelle have made requests for roads to be included in the county paving program. I just received the list of roads from Apalachicola, and Carrabelle should be turning their request in this week. Hopefully, by the March 17th meeting Clay Smallwood will be able to meet with each commissioner and discuss the cost estimates of the roads in their respective districts. 11- Board direction on applying for a Boating Improvement Grant to repair the county boat ramp at the end of Old Ferry Dock Road. The ramp needs to be reworked and the bulkhead extended if possible. The ramp is heavily used and needs improvement. The first step will be to apply for funds to do the design and permitting for the improvement with the construction funds to follow. The deadline for submittal is April 9. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to approve applying for Boating Improvement Grant to repair County boat ramp at the end of Old Ferry Dock Rd.; Motion carried 4-0. 12- Board direction on submitting 2 road paving projects to DOT for SCOP funding. This is a DOT matching fund program where DOT prioritizes the entire projects submitted district wide, and then DOT determines which get funded. We have previously attempted to get unpaved roads funded, but DOT has not considered unpaved roads as a priority. The deadline for submission is April 17. Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Pierce discussed the likeliness of funding for paving un-paved roads in the County. 13- Board direction on when to schedule interviews on March 17 for the County Coordinator position. Commissioner Jackel stated that she is unable to attend the interviews in the afternoon on March 17th. Commissioner Parrish asked that the interviews are scheduled during the afternoon of the first Meeting in April. Attorney Shuler stated that the Board will need to meet the afternoon of April 7th for a closed attorney-client session so the Board could schedule the interviews before or after the closed session. Board agreed. 14- Inform the Board that I did hear back from Transfield and they are going to remove the 2 dead pine trees near the entrance to Woodill Road that was mentioned at the last Board meeting. The county planning office provided the name and address of the owner in Georgia and Transfield made contact.


Commissioner Jackel stated that there is a tree on Highway 98 in front of the Eastpoint Visitor’s Center that needs to be removed. Mr. Pierce stated that he will make that request. 15- Board direction hiring an entry level person in the Planning Dept., starting May 1, in preparation for Rachel Ward’s retirement in July. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to approve hiring entry level person in Planning Department starting May 1, 2015; Motion carried 4-0. Mr. Pierce stated that EMO Architects has stated that there is an additional cost of up to $50,000 to repair the roof on the old chapman building. Mr. Pierce discussed options of the City of Apalachicola using the building as a library and allowing the Doctor’s office to remain. Commissioner Lockley spoke in favor of keeping the Chapman building as a County building and not to allow the City to own the building. Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Pierce discussed timelines of the City and County historical grants regarding the building and library. Katie Green, Librarian at the Apalachicola Municipal Library, discussed the grant and her efforts to locate alternate locations for a library and for the doctor that is in the Chapman building. She discussed funding possibilities for the library. Commissioner Jackel suggested leasing the auditorium to the City for the library and the doctor would remain in the other section. Ms. Green stated that the grant would allow this type of agreement with a 20 year requirement. Commissioner Lockley was not in favor of this agreement. Mr. Pierce discussed what was done by EMO regarding the estimate. Commissioner Parrish stated that he would like both the Doctor and the City of Apalachicola to attend a Meeting together in order to discuss this matter further and be sure each party is comfortable with the arrangements. The Board agreed with Commissioner Parrish’s suggestion. Betty Webb, City of Apalachicola Administrator, stated that the City of Apalachicola City Commission has not addressed this matter as of yet but will address it at their meeting this evening. She stated some other items that have to be addressed before discussing it further. Bobby Miller agreed that this item should be discussed when all parties are present. PUBLIC HEARING – Travel Trailer Ordinance (11:31 AM) Mr. Pierce gave some information regarding the origin of this Ordinance. Commissioner Parrish asked that this item is tabled until all Board members are present. Commissioner Jackel agreed and explained that this ordinance will affect the entire county.


Motion by Parrish, seconded by Jackel, to take public comment but not take any action until all Board members are present; Motion carried 4-0. Chairman Massey opened the floor for public comment. Sharon Rider, a resident who lives in a motor home on a private lot in the County, asked how this Ordinance will better the life of the residents in the County. She explained how long she has been in the County, organizations where she and her husband volunteer in the County, and why she lives in a motor home. Sharon Eaton, of Gulf Terrace, stated that she has a tractor trailer and would like to continue to park it on her property. She explained the benefits of allowing campers and travel trailers on personal property. She discussed some of the other items in the Ordinance that she deems unfair. Robert Browning, a visitor who owns property in Lanark Village, stated that he enjoys visiting and stated how this ordinance would create a hardship while he is visiting. He asked the Board to consider fairness with who can have RVs on their lots. He thinks this Ordinance would hurt tourism and suggested allowing power poles for the campers. Bill Willis, lot owner on Carrabelle Beach, was against those who bring campers and leave them their permanently, not visitors, and supported the Ordinance, with some tweaking. Bobby Miller stated that this Ordinance would not allow him to store his travel trailer that he uses for hunting when travelling and thought that the Ordinance was close to invading private property owner rights. Barbara Sanders, resident of St. George Island, stated there was a difference between storing and living in RVs, especially on St. George Island, where building on stilts is required for flooding. She discussed the rights of property owners who build and their rights to enjoy their property. She discussed the difference between R1 and camping and the need to follow the County’s zoning laws. Pandora Schlitt, resident of St. George Island, stated that the zoning rules should be clarified then enforced and, if necessary, variances should be required as needed. Sharon Eaton discussed the need to know the difference between the incorporated, unincorporated areas and the rural areas of the County and how to apply these rules. Jeff Mocome, lot owner and resident of St. James Bay, explained why he was never able to build his home. He stated that he has a lot with a RV on it and likes to use it ever so often. Tom Wood, resident of St. George Island, stated that he has a neighbor next to him who keeps his property like a dump and thanked the Board for considering this Ordinance. Oleta Moses, a resident, who has her elderly parents living in a FEMA trailer on her property so they are close to someone who can check on them yet they have their own private place. Rainer Eaton asked that the tractor trailer section is removed from the Ordinance, as he can live with the other portions of the Ordinance. He stated that it would be better to address cleaning up the areas of the County that need to be cleaned up rather than focusing on this Ordinance. Wanda Rose, of Carrabelle, stated that the problem isn’t with visitors staying in RVs; the problem is RVs that are set up in R1 zoned areas as single family homes and believes this should


be addressed. She recommended exceptions for elderly parents who live on property where homes are already built. There were no more comments from the floor. Commissioner Jackel asked Attorney Shuler to address the comments regarding the advertisement of this Ordinance. Attorney Shuler explained the error regarding the language of tractor trailers in the Ordinance. Commissioner Jackel stated that it is a good thing to hear from the public on these issues. She asked Attorney Shuler if he needed to re-visit anything on the Ordinance after hearing the comments today. Attorney Shuler explained the Ordinance further. He spoke about the intentions of property zoning and discussed County zoning laws that have been in place since the 1980’s. Recess (12:03 PM) Chairman Massey called for a recess. Reconvene (12:10 PM) Chairman Massey reconvened the Meeting. T. Michael Shuler – County Attorney Report (12:10 PM) Attorney Shuler requested action for a “shade” meeting on April 7, 2015 beginning at 1:05 PM. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Lockley, to approve an Attorney-Client session closed meeting to be held on April 7, 2015 beginning at 1:05 PM, to discuss litigation with the St. Joe Company; Motion carried 4-0. Action item: 1. Travel Trailer Ordinance (Public Hearing at 11:00 a.m. E.T.) Attached is the proposed amendment to the existing ordinance regulating travel trailers in Franklin County. A summary of the material changes proposed for the Board's consideration is stated below:

A. The current ordinance allows use of travel trailers for up to 14 days when visiting premises furnished with adequate toilet facilities. This has been interpreted to allow multiple visits on the same property per year, provided that they did not exceed 14 days during any one visit. The proposed amendment to the ordinance limits this to a maximum of 14 days per calendar year for all visits. B. Travel Trailers with self-contained toilets are limited by the current ordinance to durations not to exceed 7 days or the capacity of their storage tank. This has also been interpreted to allow multiple stays per year, provided that no stay exceeds the 7 day limit. The


proposed amendment to the ordinance limits this to no more than 7 days per calendar year for all visits.

C. The proposed amendment to the ordinance further limits the number of travel trailers that can be used during construction as follows: 1 for an office plus 1 for storage. The current ordinance has no such restriction.

D. The proposed amendment to the ordinance requires that the parcel of land on which the travel trailer is placed must be residentially zoned and it must be improved with a residence. The current ordinance does not have such a restriction.

E. The proposed amendment to the ordinance bans the storage or parking of travel trailers on vacant parcels. The current ordinance does not have such a restriction. This item was addressed during the Public Hearing that was held earlier during the meeting. 2. International Municipal Lawyers Association I request that the board authorize membership in the International Municipal Lawyer’s Association. It is similar to the Florida Association of Counties, and will allow me to leverage the resources of larger governmental entities and consult with their attorneys. Herb Thiele, the County Attorney in Leon County, has been a member of IMLA for many years and recommends membership. His letter is attached. The annual membership cost is $265.00 Action Requested: Board approval of annual membership in IMLA. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, to authorize Attorney Shuler’s membership in the International Municipal Lawyer’s Association and to reimburse him $265 for membership costs; Motion carried 4-0. 3. County Court Probation Services Under Florida law, Franklin County is responsible for the provision of probation services to the court, either through a county employee or through a contract with a private entity. In Franklin County, a contract with a private entity is required to have the approval of the county court judge. In 2012, Franklin County entered into a three year probation services contract with "Florida Probation Services, LLC," to provide county court probation services. From 2009 to 2012, those probation services were provided by a different private entity named "Judicial Correction Services, Inc." The current contract with Florida Probation Services, LLC, expires on March 16, 2015. There are three options for the board to consider:

A. First, the Board has the option to renew the existing contract for up to three years, or

B. Second, the Board may place an advertisement requesting qualifications from companies providing probation services, and then select the private entity that is most qualified. A contract would then be submitted to Judge Russell for his consideration. If he did not approve the contract, you would move down the list of candidates and continue that process until a contract is approved, or


C. Third, the board could provide probation services by hiring a county employee. NOTE: If the board desires to hire a county employee or advertise, I recommend that you also extend the current contract so that necessary probation services may continue during the selection process. If you should select another private entity, or if you decided to hire a county employee, you would exercise your termination privilege with the current company, At your direction, I have discussed this matter with Judge Russell. Judge Russell has confidence in the current probation officer, Mr. Billy Rogers, and requests that Franklin County continue the current probation services contract. Regarding the extension request, Judge Russell understands that the county may file claims against the two companies to recoup the loss of public funds under their control, and he further understands that the Board may require the company to provide evidence to Franklin County concerning its protocols for the receipt and accounting of probation monies received by the company and then given by them to the Clerk of Court for distribution. Other than his request that the current contract be extended, Judge Russell makes no comment on any pending matters. A form of the extension approved by both Judge Russell and Florida Probation Services, LLC, is attached for your consideration. I approve of the extension as well and recommend it to you, but I also recommend that the company verify with your auditor the sufficiency of its protocols for the receipt of probation monies, and the chain of custody of those funds before they are delivered to the Clerk of Court for distribution. Please note that the extension provided for your consideration is the same contract that was agreed to in 2012, with two exceptions:

A. First, the extension is a year to year contract, instead of a three year term. Given Franklin County's termination privilege, the contract has always been a 90 day contract as to the county. The private entity has a 150 day termination privilege.

B. Second, the probation company requested, and Judge Russell agreed, that the monthly supervision fees be increased from $40.00 per month to $45.00 per month. Action requested: I recommend the following to the Board for its consideration:

1. Approval of the contract extension requested by Judge Russell. 2 .Authorize a demand letter from Franklin County notifying both Florida

Probations Services, LLC, and Judicial Correction Services, Inc. of a claim on their insurance policies for breach of contract due to the theft of probation funds under their control, and directing them to notify their respective insurance carriers of this claim.

3. Require Florida Probation Services, LLC, to provide to your auditor information concerning its current protocols for the receipt and accounting of probation monies received by the company and then given by them to the Clerk of Court for distribution.

4. Other options as directed by the board. Commissioner Jackel asked if Florida Probation Services agreed to all terms of the contract. Attorney Shuler stated that the Company has agreed to the extension of the contract. Commissioner Jackel stated that she supported Judge Russell’s recommendation for this Company.


Chairman Massey asked how the Company feels about continuing services while possibly being sued by the County. Richard Stewart stated that he has retained an attorney in Atlanta regarding any litigation resulting from being sued by the County, and if needed, he would provide an audit of his company to the Board each year as he does in Bay County. Commissioner Jackel stated that she is in favor of adding that language to the contract. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to renew contract as discussed and presented; Motion carried 4-0. Informational Items:

4. Possible Incorporation of St. George Island as "The Village of St. George Island." I have been informed that those involved in planning the possible incorporation of St. George Island have recently come to the understanding from the League of Cities that if they incorporate, Franklin County could, but will be under no legal obligation, to enter into an inter-local agreement to provide municipal services to them. They are giving additional thought on the issue of incorporation and intend to deliver a letter to the board for consideration. I do not yet have the letter. The information provided by the League of Cities is correct, Franklin County will be under no legal obligation to provide municipal services following incorporation. Unless the Board has additional instructions, I will continue to meet with them on an as needed or requested basis.

5. City of Apalachicola vs. Franklin County

The City has not responded to your request that they schedule the joint public meeting. 6. D. W. Wilson Park (Apalachicola)

Recently, the board has considered the issue of the construction of a soccer field at D.W. Wilson Park. The soccer field would have been located at the eastern boundary of the Park. The board has received some complaints from neighbors as to the proposed location of the soccer field. Commissioner Parrish asked me to investigate options for relocating the soccer field at D.W. Wilson Park in Apalachicola. My investigation of the public records concluded that Franklin County owns an additional parcel of land approximately 6 acres in size south of the existing park. A copy of an aerial map showing the parcel is attached. This parcel is located at the west end. of the park abutting Pal Rivers Road and should not be objectionable by neighbors as the soccer field would be located on the opposite side of the park from them and there are no houses at this location. The land abutting this parcel is privately owned, so it is possible that houses could be built there in the future. My investigation was limited to ownership only. I have not conducted any analysis of the suitability of the property for a soccer field.

7. Franklin County vs. Orion Marine


A copy of the trial order is attached. Jury Trial is scheduled for three days beginning September

21, 2015. Commissioners’ & Public Comments (12:18 PM) Commissioner Jackel reminded everyone of the Chili Cook-Off this weekend and the Rib Cook-Off next weekend and the benefits to the St. George Island and Eastpoint Volunteer Fire Departments. Adjourn (12:19 PM) There being no further business, Chairman Massey adjourned the Meeting. _____________________________ William Massey, Chairman – FCBCC Attest: ____________________________ Marcia M.

The original bridge reports will be given to the Road Dept. for storage. A) Bridge at Womack Creek (CR67) - The inspection concluded, “The Bridge is not posted.

Fonda Davis – Solid Waste Director & Parks and Recreation (9:06 AM) Mr. Davis discussed issues with debris pick-up from the sides of the roads. He presented a policy that was adopted in 2005 and informed the Board that he has instructed his drivers to not pick up some of the heavier items. Commissioner Jackel asked Mr. Davis to advertise the new policy regarding debris pick-up from the roadside. Commissioner Jackel stated that she is in favor of this new policy as the current system is being abused. Mr. Pierce stated that enforcement is needed to help the County with this new policy and discussed this matter further. Commissioner Parrish stated that enforcement might be a problem as some people dump trash in front of other property owner’s homes so it will be difficult to ascertain who it belongs to.


Commissioner Jackel suggested sending all licensed contractors a copy of the new policy. Commissioner Lockley asked for a timeline for the start of this new policy. Mr. Davis stated that this policy will be implemented in about a month. The Board discussed this matter further. Mr. Pierce stated that the County is headed towards mandatory trash pick-up. Alan Pierce – Director of Administrative Services – Report Mr. Pierce presented these items from his report. 9- Board action to approve 2 TDC Budget Amendments to transfer funds from the TDC Reserves for: A) $15,000 from Reserves to Promotion to support of the Dixie Youth Tournament B) $10,000 from Reserves to Equipment for the replacement of playground equipment Commissioner Lockley and Mr. Pierce discussed the guarantee for this equipment. Commissioner Jackel suggested implementing some regular maintenance on this equipment so it might last longer. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to approve both budget amendments, $15,000 from Reserves to Promotion to support of the Dixie Youth Tournament and $10,000 from Reserves to Equipment for the replacement of playground equipment on St. George Island; Motion carried 4-0. 14- Inform the Board that Fonda Davis and I met with representatives of the Audubon Society on Friday, May 13, regarding educational boards they want to install at boat ramps. The information they want to disseminate is educate boaters about the importance of nesting sea bird colonies in Franklin County. It so happens that all of the ramps are the same ones where the Big Bend Scenic By-way is building kiosks so I have given the Audubon reps the contact information of the Big Bend Scenic By-way group to see if they can share kiosk space. Commissioner Jackel asked Mr. Pierce to discuss Mr. Davis’s request to increase his salary. Mr. Pierce recommended a $2,000 increase for Mr. Davis for the additional duties of Parks and Recreation Department. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Lockley, to approve a $2,000 increase to Mr. Davis’s salary; Motion carried 4-0. Mr. Davis discussed the location of additional practice fields in the County.

Ms. Birchwell discussed the need for the citizens to use this service so it will continue to be available. She provided the following numbers to call for information, 670-8151 and 697-2366.

The organization, Rock By the Sea has again placed Franklin County Public Library as one of recipients from their fund raising efforts. The donation this non-profit organization gifts to the library will be used for the 2015 Summer Reading Program.

The group Melodime will be coming back in May to play for Franklin County youth! The “I Play Along Too” group works with musicians and teachers who are willing to donate musical instruments and lessons to youth who can’t afford the items or lessons. I have given them a list of interested youths that would like to take part in this program. They


have donated a guitar, signed by their members to be placed in a special place in remembrance of this partnership. Staff and volunteers look forward to seeing Franklin County youth learn music at the library

Sgt. Bud Dasher of the Carrabelle Police Department has volunteered personal time to help people with basic computer skills at both the Eastpoint and Carrabelle branches. He will be there from 1:00 pm to 3:00pm on the first and third Wednesday of each month in Carrabelle and the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at the Eastpoint Branch.

3- RECOMMENDED APPROVAL (Unanimous) Amending and Cleaning Up of the Franklin County Zoning Code.

Attorney Shuler stated that a public hearing will be necessary before action is taken on this item.

4- RECOMMENDED (Unanimous) To revisit the idea of creating a Code Enforcement Board and Officer.

Commissioner Jackel, Mr. Pierce, and Attorney Shuler discussed a timetable for the approval of these items. Curt Blair – TDC Update (9:27 AM) Mr. Blair updated the Board on TDC’s monthly collections. He provided numbers for the amount of visitors to the County’s visitor’s centers and stated that it was a record month. Mr. Blair discussed the County’s rating as the #17 Spring Break location, social media advertising, and signage for the visitor’s centers. He discussed the installation of memorial highway markers along Highway 98. Attorney Shuler stated that there is a Resolution for the Board’s consideration regarding this matter. Chairman Massey explained this process further. Mr. Pierce read the Resolution to designate a 2 mile section of Highway 98 as Robert Clifford Millender Highway. Commissioner Lockley stated that there are more Veterans that would qualify on the west side of the County. Commissioner Jackel asked for the criteria for choosing names for this type of dedication. Mr. Blair explained that there are no standard criteria, but these sites are often used for Veterans who have been killed in action. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to approve Resolution as presented and submit for Legislative consideration; Motion carried 4-0. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Jackel, to look for other Veterans that could be submitted for consideration; Motion carried 4-0. Mr. Pierce read the Resolution.


Chairman Massey asked Mr. Blair to comment on an oyster shell sculpture. Mr. Blair discussed and asked the Board if they would like to proceed with using this sculpture as a memorial for oystermen on the Eastpoint Visitor Center site. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Jackel, to ask TDC to consider the installation of this sculpture and bring a recommendation before the Board; Motion carried 4-0. Recess (9:43 AM) Chairman Massey called for a recess. Reconvene (9:54 AM) Chairman Massey reconvened the Meeting. Marcia M. Johnson – Clerk of Courts – Report (9:56 AM) Mrs. Johnson was not in attendance as she is recovering from surgery. Alan Pierce – Director of Administrative Services – Report (9:56 AM) Mr. Pierce presented his report to the Board. 1- Inform the Board that Commissioner Jackel and I met with representatives of the Big Bend Homeless Coalition, also known as the Big Bend Continuum of Care. Attending the meeting was Leon County Commissioner Dozier. The meeting was one of several the Big Bend staff will have with the outlying counties. The discussion centered on how the face of homelessness is changing, and how it is different in rural counties. The big city problem of a homeless person sleeping in a doorway is not a common problem in rural areas, so the Continuum staff is taking assessments of all the counties to see what common issues we all have related to the homeless. Provide Board with packet from meeting. Commissioner Jackel commented further on this item. She discussed funding, actual numbers of homeless citizens, and the definition of homelessness. 2- Inform the Board that the Alligator Water District has sent the county a letter advising us that they have informed DEP that “we (the District) are unable to provide the minimum earthen cover required for the waterline of a section of Gulf Shore Blvd. due to the extreme erosion and failure of Franklin County to maintain the road. Failure to maintain is creating, among other things, a very serious fire safety issue due to inability to properly maintain fire hydrants and accordingly the ability to provide fire service.” As the Board is aware, the county was stopped by DEP from making any repairs to the road. However, the Board has authorized up to $10K out of the Bald Point Trust Fund for the


cost of removing the old asphalt, and for that activity I did get a field permit from DEP which included the placement of beach compatible fill in the area of greatest erosion. I believe the county has done all it can within the limits of the DEP field permit to protect the ROW from erosion., including the fire hydrant referenced by the District. At this time FEMA in Washington has yet to approve the relocation of Gulf Shore Blvd, and I have yet to find a funding source to buy out the 7 lots that need this section of Gulf Shore Blvd. Commissioner Parrish and Mr. Pierce discussed the County’s efforts to maintain the road and attempt to rectify the situation. Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to send letter to APWD explaining why the County is restricted in what it can do regarding this situation; Motion carried 4-0. 3- Provide Board with copy of bridge reports for the following bridges. The original bridge reports will be given to the Road Dept. for storage. A) Bridge at Womack Creek (CR67) - The inspection concluded, “The Bridge is not posted. Based upon recent field inspections and the 2011 load analysis, posting restrictions are not considered necessary at this time. B) Bridge at Gully Branch (Burnt Bridge Road): The inspection concluded, “The Bridge is not posted. Based upon recent field inspections and the 2011 load analysis, posting restrictions are not considered necessary at this time.” C) Bridge at Crooked River (CR 67): The inspection concluded, “The Bridge is not posted. Based upon recent field inspections and the 2011 load analysis, posting restrictions are not considered necessary at this time.” D) Bridge at Trout Creek (Mill Road): The Bridge is not posted. Based upon recent field inspections and the 2000 load analysis, posting restrictions are not considered necessary at this time.” This item was addressed earlier in the Meeting. 3- Provide Board with copy of grant application and notice of award for the acquisition of the Ell’s Court property. The official title of the grant application is Apalachicola Bay/ St. George Sound Conservation: Island View Maritime Forest and Shoreline Restoration. 4- Inform Board that Mr. Kal Knickerbocker has forwarded the Board’s letter about the new summer harvesting rules to FDA for consideration. 5- Board update on RESTORE activities. The US Treasury is slowing going through their process of getting their own personnel up to speed on RESTORE rules and applications. Gulf County has decided to hire consultants to develop their Multi-Year Implementation Plans (MYIP). The MYIP is the first step in accessing RESTORE funds, and the MYIP has to be approved by Treasury. Wakulla County is also discussing hiring a consultant. I believe it would be prudent for the


Board also to consider selecting a consultant. The first step would be to advertise a Request for Qualifications, and then the Board would select the most qualified firm. The Treasury Dept. is approving Planning Grants so the small counties have some method of paying for the development of the MYIP. Board discussion. Commissioner Parrish asked if the consultant will take direction from the Board and not make decisions on its own. Commissioner Jackel agreed with Commissioner Parrish’s comments on this matter. Commissioner Parrish explained the MYIP process further. Commissioner Lockley asked what will be done about the litigation with the City of Apalachicola regarding the RESTORE funds. Attorney Shuler commented on the litigation process and the amount of time involved. Commissioner Jackel stated that the County needs to move forward. Commissioner Parrish commented on the City of Apalachicola litigation issue. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to start RFQ process for MYIP; Motion carried 4-0. 6- When the Board took action to advertise for an entry level position to fill the vacancy that will be created by the retirement of Rachel Ward, I failed to ask for approval to put in-house notices to actually fill the positions of Zoning Administrator (Rachel’s position), and then Planning Administrator (Amy’s position). Both of these are responsible positions requiring knowledge of zoning and floodplain management, but I believe I still need to have approval to advertise in-house to fill the positions. I am bringing it up now because Ms. Ward has moved her retirement date up to May 15th. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to approve advertising in-house for Rachel Ward and Amy Kelly’s positions at Planning and Zoning; Motion carried 4-0. 7- Board action to approve a Resolution associated with the Boating Improvement Grant for Old Ferry Dock that I should have had at the last meeting. The Resolution says the Board supports the grant application and that Mark Curenton is applying on behalf of the Board. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to approve Resolution associated with Boating Improvement Grant for Old Ferry Dock; Motion carried 4-0. 8- Board action to sign contract with Genesis Group for the permitting and design of the Bayshore Sidewalk project. The Board had selected Genesis and now we have negotiated a contract that has been approved by DOT. Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to approve Chairman’s signature on contract with Genesis Group for the permitting and design of the Bayshore Sidewalk project; Motion carried 4-0.


9- Board action to approve 2 TDC Budget Amendments to transfer funds from the TDC Reserves for: A) $15,000 from Reserves to Promotion to support of the Dixie Youth Tournament B) $10,000 from Reserves to Equipment for the replacement of playground equipment This item was addressed earlier in the Meeting. 10- Inform the Board that I did send a letter to multiple recipients regarding the possible end to LIP Payments as discussed at the last meeting by the Health Dept. The bottom line is the LIP program is caught in a battle between the state and federal government, and the outcome will be affecting a lot more counties than just Franklin. Commissioner Parrish discussed the State’s decision not to support Medicaid, which is why the Federal Government is not allowing the LIP program, which will affect the local Health Department. 11-Remind Board that FDOT has opened the window for the CIGP grant program, and we have until April 27 to submit 1 CIGP application. The Board has until April 17 to submit 2 SCOP applications. The past awards by FDOT have heavily favored resurfacing projects over any new construction. The Board could consider any bridge repair projects. While the bridges are all deemed safe there could repairs that need to be made to them. Commissioner Jackel asked if these projects have to be tied into State Highway systems. Mr. Pierce explained this matter further. Commissioner Parrish asked that C30 at the “Y” intersection is considered as a SCOP project. Commissioner Jackel asked that Pine Street is considered as a SCOP project to help with flooding issues. Clay Smallwood, of Preble-Rish, stated that he will look at both items. Chairman Massey and Mr. Pierce discussed the timeline for the paving project in Carrabelle. Commissioner Jackel asked Mr. Smallwood for the total figures for the paving project. 12- Board action to direct the County Attorney to see what he can do to mitigate some costs associated with an inmate currently in county custody. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, authorizing Attorney Shuler to check into mitigating some cost with a County inmate; Motion carried 4-0. Mr. Pierce stated that he will attend the turtle lighting workshop tomorrow with Eric Lovestrand.


15- After consulting with Mr. John Grantham, Weems CFO, on Monday afternoon, he agrees that it would be beneficial to request the EMS subsidy at this meeting, as opposed to waiting until the April 7 meeting. The county Finance Dept. normally cuts the Weems EMS subsidy at the beginning of each quarter, and April 1 would be the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Since March has an extra week, it would provide a cushion if the Board would release the check now instead of waiting until April 7. Board action. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, to approve EMS subsidy; Motion carried 4-0. 13- Board action to continue the reduced lease payments approved for Crystal Air until June, 2016. The Board discussed this matter further. Motion by Parrish, seconded by Jackel, to approve reduction in Crystal Air’s rent for 6 months; Motion carried 4-0. 14- Inform the Board that Fonda Davis and I met with representatives of the Audubon Society on Friday, May 13, regarding educational boards they want to install at boat ramps. The information they want to disseminate is educate boaters about the importance of nesting sea bird colonies in Franklin County. It so happens that all of the ramps are the same ones where the Big Bend Scenic By-way is building kiosks so I have given the Audubon reps the contact information of the Big Bend Scenic By-way group to see if they can share kiosk space. This item was addressed earlier during the meeting. Debbie Amalfitano, of Lighthouse Road in Carrabelle, stated that there are issues that are causing flooding on her property and also neighboring property owners. Mr. Pierce stated what he has done thus far to try and resolve this problem. Chairman Massey commented on this matter. The Board discussed this matter further. Commissioner Parrish suggested a County easement for drainage on the private property. Michael Shuler – County Attorney – Report (10:27 AM) Attorney Shuler had no action items for Board approval. Commissioner Parrish asked about the information sent by Attorney Shuler regarding the Value Adjustment Board proposed legislation. He stated many reasons why he is against this legislation, including how it negatively affects the budget. Commissioner Jackel asked why this legislation is being proposed. Attorney Shuler recommended that the Board take a stand against this legislation.


Commissioner Parrish discussed the impact this legislation would have on the citizens of Franklin County. The Board and Attorney Shuler discussed this matter further. Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to send a letter to Legislative Delegation opposing the VAB legislation; Motion carried 4-0. Commissioners and Public Comments (10:33 AM) Motion by Lockley, seconded by Jackel, to request that legislature exempt anyone over 65 from paying oyster license fees; Motion carried 4-0. Commissioner Jackel reminded everyone of the Eastpoint Volunteer Fired Dept.’s annual Rib Cook-Off on Saturday. Commissioner Jackel recognized her mother, who was in the audience. Adjourn (10:39 AM) There being no further business, Chairman Massey adjourned the Meeting. _____________________________ William Massey, Chairman – FCBCC Attest: ____________________________ Marcia M.

General Extension Activities:

County Extension Director attended New Faculty Development training in Gainesville to gain new knowledge

and basic information on IFAS and its key program areas.

31st. Great information was gathered and will be shared with Franklin County for use in future programs of this

area.

Sea Grant Extension:

Extension staff continues to work with county staff on the sea turtle lighting grant. Thus far the office has

received approximately 39 homeowner agreements to facilitate lighting retrofits with turtle friendly equipment.

The first shipment of equipment has been received and will be distributed accordingly.

Bay County. Information and ideas from six attending counties were shared to facilitate cooperation and

collaboration to assist with the resolution of sea turtle lighting issues.

WEEM’S MEMORIAL REPORTS

Report to the Board of County Commissioners

April 7, 2015

1- Inform the Board that DACS did respond to the letters authorized at the March 3

Board meeting regarding the contract for barge shelling and the Board’s concerns about

the changes in the rules for summer harvesting. Neither response offered much hope of a

change.

2- Inform the Board that I met with APTA representatives on March 19 to answer

questions regarding the possible funding of the new Alligator Point Fire House. The

property was donated by the St. Joe Company, and the site for the building has been

cleared. The intent is to build a 3 bay fire station that will serve Alligator Point and St.

Teresa.

3- Board action to approve a final change order for Bayshore Drive. While the project

has been complete for some time this final change order finalizes the record of the

project.

4- Board action to approve a Local Agency Program (LAP) Agreement for the design and

engineering of a City of Carrabelle sidewalk project on CR 67. The LAP agreement is

for $44,285. Upon approval by the Board and DOT, the county will then solicit firms to

complete the design and engineering. At some later date, there will be a separate LAP

agreement for construction and that will probably occur in the summer of 2016 as the

design and engineering has to be completed by Dec. 31, 2015.

5- Inform the Board that I have put the ad in the paper for RESTORE Consultants using

the Request for Qualifications developed by Gulf County as a guide. The deadline for

submitting a response is May 1, with the RFQs opened at the May 5 Board meeting.

6- At the March 17 meeting, the Board made a motion to contact our legislators about

creating an exemption for individuals over 65 paying the $100 for an oyster license. I

emailed a letter to our legislators and have been informed by Senator Montford’s office

that he will do the best he can but the deadline for filling new legislation was actually on

March 3.

7- Ms. Christina Saunders, on behalf of the Hickory Hammock Property Owners, has

asked me to get a price the county would charge for grading the 3 main roads in Hickory

Hammock. The roads are Hickory Hammock, Clark’s Landing, and Big Buck Road. The

only service the county is being asked to do is grade the roads with the motor grader.

The homeowners are not asking the county to provide any material, or haul any material.

The homeowners are seeking to pay for this service from the county because the county

owns the only grader in the county. Board discussion.

8- Board action on two SCOP projects, and one CIGP project for funding from DOT.

The deadline for application is April 17.

9- The Northwest Florida Water Management District is requesting each county join

them in issuing a Proclamation naming April as Water Conservation Month, and to

encourage all residents to protect our water resources through common sense water

conservation measures. Board action.
