The county's architects have finished the bids andspecifications for the solar panels on the Annex and the window replacement work in theCourthouse. The Energy grant requires that the State Energy Of/ice review the documentsbefore going out for bid so the documents have been forwarded to the Energy Of/ice.

The State Historic Preservation Of/ice has modified what they will allow to be dane tothe exterior of the Courthouse. The bottom floor windows will be replaced with double paneinsulated windows. The middle and top floor windows of the old part of the courthouse will

8/3/2019 Dec 6 2011b

13/134

FCBOCC Regular Meeting11/15/2011Page 12 oj16

have to be repaired. But the repairs will include re-glazing all the windows, placing a solar ilmover the windows, and removing all the window AC units. The AC units represent a significantenergy loss because of the way they are installed. Those rooms with AC units wil l have newmodern in-room air conditioning systems installed. Because of the great expense of replacingthe windows, the repairs will actually be less expensive and wil l keep the project in budget sincethe in-room AC units were not originally included in the grant expenses.2- Update on Community Health Survey being conducted by consultants for the NationalAssociation of Counties. A well represented group of community leaders met at Carrabelle CityHall on Nov. 3 to kick-off the Health Survey. There will be a second community meeting on Dec.1 in the Armory. The Planning Office is collecting the surveys that were handed ou t at themeeting. The consultants would like at least 100 responses.3- Inform the Board that the Airport Advisory Committee voted on Monday, Nov. 7, to enter intolease negotiations with Sky Dance, LLC to become the next FBO at the airport. The AirportAdvisory Committee can not sign any lease or contract so when they have a recommendedlease, with terms, they will bring i t to the Board for approval.4- Commissioner Parrish and I were on a long teleconference call on Wed. Nov. 9, withrepresentatives of NACo, FAC, and counties affected by the BP oil spill. The call was open tocounties in all ive states, bu t only representatives of Florida and Louisiana were on the call. Thecall had two goals: to seek changes in the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) so that there will be somerepresentation by local governments in determining the proper response to an oi l spill, and adiscussion of the current status of pending legislation in Congress concerning the fine moneythat will be generated by the Clean Water Act.

A: Changes to OPA- NACo and FAC representatives discussed with the Coast Guard theneed to change OPA so that local governments have a say in responding to disasters in the nearshore waters, or once oil gets on-shore. Currently, the Act allows the responsible party, in thiscase BP, to have the final say on the response efforts. The request from local governments isthat the federal government provides a place for local governments to participate in theresponse decision making. The Coast Guard representatives did not offer solutions but said theywould discuss i t with their superiors.Commissioner Parrish commented further on the OPA and said the responsible party makes allof the calls, which means they have the responsibility to respond, clean it up and fix theproblem. He said he believed that should be changed so that the Government has moreauthority in these types of matters. He discussed limited powers of the local and FederalGovernment.Attorney Shuler commented on litigation involving CGA and BP.

B: Status of pending legislation concerning the Clean Water Act so that a percentage ofBP fine money would be re-directed to the impacted counties. The NACo representatives said it

8/3/2019 Dec 6 2011b

14/134

FCBOCC Regular Meeting11/15/2011Page 13 0/16

was going to be an uphill battle to get Congress to act on the legislation that has beensubmitted. The main reason is that the current status of the Clean Water Act directs all finemoney to the US Treasury. The proposed legislation directs 80%of the BP fines to the impactedcounties and states. NACo said it is going to be very difficult in these economic times to redirect that much money away from the US Treasury. The amount of money could be billions ofdollars. At the request of the FAC, NACo pledged to write a letter of support.Commissioner Parrish commented on the proposed trust fund and said all of this money goesinto a super trust fund to make preparations and clean up for future oil spills and is controlledby the Coast Guard.5- A property owner in the City ofst. George subdivision (also known as YellowHill) has a failedseptic tank and can not meet current county standards on replacement. The septic system hasbeen inspected by the Health Department and this is their report. The lot was created before1972, and has suffered erosion over the years. The property owners will have to replace it withan aerobic system but the sys tem will be between 50 and 75 feet from the water. Because thelot was created before 1972, the state can issue a permit for a system that is at least50 feetfrom the water, but the county ordinance requires 75 feet for an aerobic system.

They also cannot meet the county's requirement of a well and septic tank being 100feetapart. Board direction.Commissioner Parrish expressed concerns of public health safety issues and County liability.Attorney Shuler commented on this issue and said he would like an opportunity to review thismatter.Commissioner Putnal discussed an issue similar to this one that happened about 15 years ago.Carol Zurawka, the property owner, addressed the Board regarding this matter. She explainedthat the lots to the East of the discussed property belong to her and are unbuildable. She saidthe property to the west is an easement.The Board, Mr. Pierce and Ms. Zurawka discussed this matter further.Motion by Sanders, seconded by Parrish, to table this item and allow Attorney Shuler toconfer with DOH Representative Shaun May and property owner and present arecommendation to the Board at the next meeting; Motion carried 4-1, Lockley opposed.6- Commissioner Jackel and I were on a conference call onNov. 10 with a numberofrepresentatives concerning sea turtle disorientation in Franklin County. As the Board is aware,the beaches of st. George Island have one of the largest populations of nesting sea turtles of anybeach in the northern Gulf. In 2011, we had a large numberof disorientations and the federaland state representatives are asking the county to provide more assistance with educating theowners and renters of beachfront property about sea turtles. Oneof the representatives on thecall said that many other local governments utilize their extension agents in educating aboutsea turtles. Franklin County has not yet included Mr. Mahan in the sea turtle issue, but it islogical that Mr. Mahan playa role as he is a marine agent, and his office is intended to provide

8/3/2019 Dec 6 2011b

FCBOCC Regular Meet ing11/15/2011Page 14 0/16

Michael Shuler - County Attorney - Report (12:03 PM)Attorney Shuler had no items fo r Board action and/or approval.Non-Action Items1. Lease Portion of old SR 65Progress Energy has requested permission to lease a portion of the old Highway 65 right ofway. They want the temporary exclusive use of the land during the construction of the newtransmission line to st. George Island. Generally speaking, the land is located where the oldferry dock was and is about one acre in size. They intend to build a temporary dock to accessdeeper water. This dock would be removed after construction, which is expected to takeabout one yearThe property in question has to be reasonably advertised for bid. In order to accommodateProgress Energy's and the newspapers time tables, I delivered the advertisement to theApalachicola Times on November 10,2011.A public hearing is scheduled for December 6, 2011 to open the bids.I am told that Progress Energy has consulted with the oyster workers association over a yearogo to make certain that the route for the new transmission line does no t inter/ere withexisting oyster bars.Does the Board want Progress Energy to again discuss the transmission line route with thenew administration of the oyster workers association?2. Carrabelle Health DepartmentAttached is the letter I sent to Dr. Farmer. I also copied Representative Bembry and SenatorMontford last week.3.

Board does not meet until the end ofNovember 2011.The recommendation is for that board to consider accepting the ownership of the property,with the limitation that the property shall only be used for affordable public housingconsistent with their charter. They may have to demolish the house on the property and donot want to be prevented from doing so.4. Repeal of Local Gun OrdinancesThe hearing on the Board's consideration of the repeal of ocal gun ordinances andregulations has been rescheduled to December 6, 2011.5. BP Denial ofSkimmer ClaimAttached is an email from CGA to me, along with a draft lawsuit, regarding BP's denial ofCGA's claim for reimbursement for staging an oil skimmer in Franklin County. The lawsuitspeaks for itself.6. Apalachicola-Franklin County AirportAttached is a letter from me to Southern Petroleum Services contesting an invoice they sentto Franklin County for services it rendered repairing a fuel tank gauge at the airport. Thetenant requested the services, not Franklin County. The letter speaks for itself.7. The George E. Weems Memorial Hospitala. Attached is copy of the November 3, 2011 letter I sent to Mark O'Bryant regarding thepossibility that the year-end audit may be delinquent. The letter speaks for itself. You will notethat due to scrivener's error on my part, that Davie Lloyd was not copied. I corrected thatoversight on November 8, 2011.b. Attached is a draft of a contract for electronic medical records software and my addendum. Iam informed that the hospital board has approved of the contract to begin the process ofcomplying with electronic medical record regulations adopted by the Federal Government.The contract is for a 50 month term and costs approximately $450,000.00. I am told that grantsand/or stimulus funding exists to reimburse the hospital for about 75% of the expense of thecontract, but, as with any other grant, there is no guarantee that the hospital will be awardedsuch grants/stimulus funding.c. I was informed last week that Progress Energy intends to replace the two existing woodentransmission line poles in front of the hospital with four of the new transmission line poles ofequal height to the existing wooden poles. I have asked their representative to contact ourhospital CEO to discuss this to determine whether it affects the planned construction of the newhospital.8. Apalachicola TimesThe contract with the newspaper expires November 30, 2011. I am in the process of negotiatinga renewal with them and will bring this back to you once the negotiations are complete. While Ibelieve we are entitled to one additional year at the current rate, I would like to try andnegotiate a longer term contract.

TO:FROM:SUBJECT:

The Franklin County Board of County CommissionersBill Mahan, FranklinIUF - IFAS Extension Director BJI06 December 2011, BCC Extension Update Report

Franklin - UF IFAS Updates1. University 0/ West Florida, Innovation & Entrepreneurship Fund Grant Program - Dr. Steve Otwell and I havebeen having meeting and discussions with local industry leaders about possible submission ideas fo r these

grant opportunities. Ideas include dredging the Eastpoint Channel; Summer Bay Enhancement Program, anddeveloping a seafood - County Airport connection. The University of West Florida has received $30-millionfrom the State to administer to disproportiona lly affected counties impacted by the BP Oil Spill over the next3-years. The funds will be distributed in three consecutive $10 million annual appropriations.The initiative comprises two grant programs: the industry Recruitment & Expansion Fund (lREF) and theInnovation &Entrepreneurship Fund (IEF). The IREF will supplement state and local economic incentives fo rmedium and large enterprises locating or expanding operations in the eight-county region. The IEF will targetfunds to businesses that expand or locate in the eight-county region which are likely to serve as catalysts fo rgrowth of existing industry or significantly affec t the regional economy.

2. Beekeeping in the Panhandle- Our beekeeping series is going well. We have three participants in thedistance learning program. In total there are 242 people at 15 different sites participating in the program.Our next session is an optional field trip on Saturday, December 10th, to Chipley for a Beekeeping Trade Show.The next class is on December 12th.

3. Extension Listening Sessions - I have continued to hold listening sessions around the County to receive publicinput on the types of educational programming that they would like Extension to deliver.

Report to the Board of County CommissionersDecember 6, 2011I-Update on BP and Clean Water Act fine money. Commissioner Parrish and Iparticipated in a teleconference on Wed. Dec. 1 to discuss with F AC and the 8 impactedFlorida counties the progress being made in Congress on assessing BP through the CleanWater Act, and then having those fines dedicated to the impacted GulfCoast. Thesummary is that progress is slow and strewn with hurdles. The current version of theHouse bill dedicates a percentage of the money to the impacted counties. If the Bill isever approved by Congress the local government will have to create something called aRESTORE council which would make recommendations to the local government onprojects to be funded. The local government would have final authority.The other topic discussed was the NRDA projects. At this time DEP andBP are negotiating with no local input on what NRDA projects to approve. Thefirst round of projects to be reviewed is artificial reefprojects. We were told on theconference call that BP and DEP are using artificial reefprojects as a way to test aformula being developed for how much environmental credit BP will be given as eachproject is funded. Other projects that counties have submitted are still in the hopper forfuture funding.2- As the Board is aware Commissioner Parrish has been the Board 's contact on the BPissue and coordination with the 8 impacted counties. Under the leadership of the largercounties to the west, the Board has been presented several times with a joint Resolutionsupporting the wording in the federal legislation that seeks federal fines and penalties tobe sent back to the impacted Gulf coast. Based upon status report at the last conferencecall, and the fact that the counties to the west of us are asking for prompt action on thecurrent version, Board action on Joint Resolution requesting Federal support forlegislation directing the distribution of Clean Water fine money.3- Confirmation from Commissioner Parrish that the Board should pay the $2500 invoicefrom the FAC for its share of coordinating with the 8 impacted counties. The Boardapproved payment contingent upon Commissioner Parrish making sure the other countieswere also paying their share. The Board has a letter from the FAC asking for verificationit will pay by Dec. 31. Board direction based upon Commissioner Parrish'srecommendation.4- Board action to appoint two representatives to the Small County Coalition.

5- Board action to appoint a new representative to the ARPC to replace Chairman Jackel.The ARPC meets four times a year in Tallahassee. The next meeting is Friday, January27.

6- Inform the Board that the State Energy Office has finally approved the county's bidpackage for the solar panels on the Courthouse Annex, and the windowreplacement/repair in the Courthouse. The bids are currently being advertised and will

8/3/2019 Dec 6 2011b

be opened at the Jan. 3 Board meeting. Mark Curenton is handling this project as thereare numerous federal requirements that must be met.7- Board action to approve change in speed limit on Twin Lakes Road. Clay Kennedy,Preble-Rish Engineers, and I inspected Twin Lakes Road, Old Ferry Dock and Avenue Aroads in response to the Board's concern about an inconsistency in speed limits on thosetwo roads. It is our recommendation that Twin Lakes Road, Old Ferry Dock, and AvenueA have a posted speed limit of 35 mph. Otter Slide would stay at 25 mph because it has asharp curve in it, and it also has several road intersections. Provide Board with copy ofmap.8- Board action on requested road cuts by Eastpoint Sewer and Water District. As theBoard is aware the District has been slowly moving through a system upgrade funded byboth a CDBG grant and a Rural Development grant/loan. At the August 18 th, 2009 Boardmeeting, County Engineer Dan Rothwell recommended the Board allow the District tocut Avenue A at 4th St, and at the Otter Slide intersection to allow the installation of newpipes. The Board granted the road cut and provided the District with specifications onhow it is to be repaired.Sometime around November 16, 2011, the District started to cut Ridge Road in 10places as part of this same system upgrade. The Board had not granted any road cuts toRidge Road. In a series of meetings with the County Attorney, the District Attorney,myself, and other District representatives, the District has agreed to apply for a utilitypermit for the 10 road cuts on Ridge Road, 1 road cut on Wilderness Road, and 2 roadcuts on David Street to service the new vacuum station. I have visited the site, consultedwith Clay Kennedy, and Clay Kennedy has consulted with the District's contractor,Royal American. Clay Kennedy agrees that at this point in the project the only feasiblething to do is allow the road cuts. Clay Kennedy has provided me with a drawing thatmeets state standards for road cuts and I have provided that to the District. If the Boardagrees to the road cuts the cuts will be repaired in the manner required by Preble-Rish.The County Attorney and the District Attorney have discussed what additional safeguardsare in place in the event the road cuts do not hold up. According to George Allen,Eastpoint representative, the contractor, Royal American, will be on the job for anotheryear and so if the cuts do not Royal American will be required to fix them again. Boardaction.9- Airport Update. Mr. Bruce McCormack, ARTIC Company-which stands for ApalachRegional Training Complex, has submitted a draft lease for the new hanger at the airport.He is seeking Board action for a lease to be signed by Dec. 15 th I have advised him thathe is operating on a very short window. I have asked Mr. McCormack to be here todiscuss his proposal.

The problem is that the building Mr. McCormack would like to lease was part of theRFP that the Airport Advisory Committee is reviewing for next FBO. Mr. McCormackdid not respond to the RFP so the Airport Committee has not received a proposal fromMr. McCormack to review.10- Board action on items tabled from last meeting:

8/3/2019 Dec 6 2011b

35/134

A) Tabled a request for a Single Family Private dock at 1301 US Hwy 98. TheBoard tabled the item for further discussion about public access to the water in that area.I have visited the site and have an additional concern. While the site plan presentedindicates there is some 16 feet of private land that the dock would attach to it is myobservation that the private land has eroded and the dock would attach to the DOT rightofway. A current survey needs to be provided or some indication that DOT isconsenting to a dock connecting to their ROW.B) Tabled a request for a Single Family Private dock at 578 River Road,Carrabelle, contingent upon Commissioner Putnal concurring that the dock would notobstruct navigation.

C) Tabled a request for a Multi-Family Dock at Grace Bay Subdivision, S1.George Island, pending a review by the County Attorney.D) Tabled a variance request for an On-site Sewage Disposal for the address of

2606 W Hwy 98 Carrabelle. The current owner is Mr. Zurawaka.11- Community Health Survey update. The second meeting of the Community HealthSurvey was held in Apalachicola on Dec. 1. The consultants presented their findings andI provided a copy for the Board file.12- Hosp. Update. On Friday, Dec. 2, I received a letter of resignation from Ms. GayleDodds from her position as an at-large appointment to the Hosp. Board effectiveimmediately. An at-large seat means the appointment can be from anywhere in thecounty. While the Hospital by-laws call for the Hospital Board to make arecommendation to the county commission on appointments, to my knowledge there isnot a list of interested people wanting to serve. The commission may choose to advertisein order to create such a list. Mr. Paul Marxsen's seat, an appointment fromCommissioner Sanders, expired in November. Commissioner Sanders says she intends toreplace Mr. Marxsen with a new appointment. The next Hosp. Board meeting is not untilJan. 5.13- Inform Board that Ms. Kim Bodine, GulfCoast Workforce Board Executive Director,will be contacting each commissioner to discuss proposals by the legislature that willchange the function and structure of all Workforce Boards.14- Inform Board that it has received notice from the Public Service Commission thatWater Management Services is seeking a water rate increase for S1. George Island.13- County Coordinator job description, advertising, and salary range.

Board members were named and approved by BCC, but then 8months later, in October 2006, the same names were approved again. I have used Oct. 2006 as the initialappointment date for Hosp. Board members because the anniversary of re-appointments has consistentlyhappened in Oct/Nov of all subsequent years. The terms of service is 3 years with the initial term staggered sothat not all appointments expired on the same year.10/17/2006- BCC action to approve By-laws and expand Hosp. Board to 7 members, and making MedicalStaff representative a voting member. Board members are listed with their first term expiration date next to theirname: Gayle Dodds (2009), Curt Blair (2009), Mark Friedman (2009), Paul Marxsen (2008), Dr. Miniat(2008), Tammi Hardy (2007) Shirley White (2007).11/06/2007- BCC re-appointed Tammi Hardy to a 3 year term, and appointed Margie Solomon to a 3 yearterm in replacement of Rose McCoy who was replacing Shirley White.11/04/2008- BeC re-appointed Dr. Miniat and Paul Marxsen to 3 year terms10/6/2009- BCC re-appointed Gayle Dodds, Curt Blair to 3 year terms.
