Motion by Commissioner Carlson, seconded by Commissioner Voltz, to authorize the Chairman to send a letter to the Department of Transportation Secretary regarding the Viera Boulevard Overpass. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.
REPORT, RE: ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Commissioner Carlson stated at the Transportation Workshop, the Board went through a lot of information and seemed to be impressed with some of the efficiencies Transportation Engineering Director John Denninghoff presented under the Asset Management System portion. She inquired if the Board needs to give direction to staff on preventative maintenance or pavement preservation program at this point because there was no real direction given. She stated there was commentary and head nodding, but she is not sure if they developed a plan to start the preservation program while continuing to resurface and reconstruct roadways or if the Board should somehow put that system in place as part of the ongoing maintenance process. She requested clarification from the Board.
Commissioner Scarborough stated he would be glad to get clarification but is not prepared to give direction and has questions for staff. Commissioner Carlson inquired if staff is clear on direction; with County Manager Peggy Busacca responding it was clear that the Board would address the LOGT for 20 years and talk about the bonding; her understanding was once they had the bonding moving forward, they would bring back a list of priorities, which could include the asset management system; and they would take the money unallocated and put it into a general government fund to await the Board’s decision on what they would be doing on that. Commissioner Carlson inquired if there was no clear direction on utilization of the pavement preservation aspect; with Ms. Busacca responding she does not feel they have that direction. Commissioner Carlson inquired if the Board could get a report from staff some time soon for clarification on the LOGT; with Ms. Busacca responding it will come up as they go through the list of priority projects. Commissioner Carlson inquired when is it coming back to the Board; with Ms. Busacca responding it will take some time and they cannot give the Board an exact date right now. Commissioner Scarborough stated there are nonrecurring funds the Board can discuss, and secondly the bond proceeds, but there are a lot of unanswered questions. Commissioner Carlson stated the Board got a lot of good information that she does not want to see sit there and wants to know what action the Board wants to take; she knows it depends on those two issues; so she has no problem waiting for those issues to come back to the Board.
Commissioner Colon stated the Growth Management Coalition is going well; Melbourne City Manager Jack Schluckebier will be participating in the meetings; he worked at the State level with JPA’s and is knowledgeable; he will be the middle man between the municipalities and the County and will go to each municipality and speak before the councils; but the only way he can get there is by being invited, and he does not want to have conflicts. She stated Mr. Schluckebier will help facilitate the JPA’s so they can move on a more expedient manner and have a resolution sooner than expected. She stated Chairman Pritchard wants to make sure he sees some accountability; if the cities do not produce, then the Board will have to do the things it was looking at before and put it on the ballot to let the citizens vote; so those are things that were brought to the table. Commissioner Colon stated they received input from the School Board regarding growth; the School Board, municipalities, and the County have to work closely because of growth; there is a municipality in her District that has a project that is not moving along; she thought she was not able to call staff or anyone regarding the issue; and County Attorney Scott Knox told her it would be fine to have dialogue as long as it is nothing that will be voted on; so she can get involved and continue that dialogue.
Commissioner Carlson stated she was not at the last Coalition meeting but received the tapes of Mr. Schluckbier’s presentation; and she can make copies of the tapes for anyone interested in what goes into a JPA. She stated a lot of folks are interested in what is going on in Viera and extension of the current DRI for an additional 12,000 acres south of where they are now that is looking to be developed; she is in the process of getting a schedule of the community meetings; Viera has tried to reach out to the community to get input from the folks interested in what is going on west of I-95; and anyone interested can call her office.
REPORT, RE: TIME CERTAINS
Chairman Pritchard advised there are a lot of folks who are going to be speaking on items that are set for time certains; that means they will not come up before 1:00 p.m. or 2:30 p.m.; one lady asked to be heard regarding the way the notifications were put out because it says 9:00 a.m.; but the item was given a time certain.
Mrs. Simpson of Port St. John stated when she received the letter three weeks ago, she took time off of her job to come to the meeting to talk about the solid waste fees; it said 9:00 a.m. and did not say 1:00 p.m. or 2:30 p.m.; she wasted gas coming from Port St. John and now has to go back home and come back again; and she does not feel that is right. She stated the letter should have addressed exactly what the agenda was going to be for a time certain and not 9:00 a.m.; this is the first time she has attended a meeting and is very disappointed; and if she wastes her time and takes time off from her job to come to the meeting, she needs to know a specific time and not tell her it does not start until 1:00 p.m., as that is not fair to a lot of people. She stated she will be back because she has a problem with the waste and recycling as well as stormwater costs going up, and she had to call the County and ask why her trash was not picked up three times this year. She stated the next meeting the Board has, it should address what time they are supposed to be at the meeting so they do not lose time from their jobs.
Chairman Pritchard inquired what can the Board do to insure that something like this does not happen again; with County Manager Peggy Busacca responding before staff writes another letter and sends it out, they can coordinate with the Chair as to a time certain. Chairman Pritchard inquired when did the letter go out; with Ms. Busacca responding several weeks ago. Chairman Pritchard stated it would be difficult to create a time certain when it is several weeks before a meeting because sometimes critical situations come up that they need to deal with; and inquired how can they alleviate the problem of having the community come because the announcement said 9:00 a.m., which is really announcing the start of the meeting. Ms. Busacca stated they can say the meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. and it is uncertain what time the item will come up. Chairman Pritchard inquired if folks have access to the County’s website; with Ms. Busacca responding not all folks. Chairman Pritchard inquired about the newspaper; with Ms. Busacca responding not everybody gets the newspaper.
Commissioner Voltz stated if they do a time certain, there is no reason why they cannot keep the time certain; and if it is made for 1:00 p.m. and put in a letter, everything else has to be put aside. She inquired why is the Board hearing this issue during the day and not at a night meeting because it involves the general public and some had to take off of work. She stated any increases should be considered at evening meetings. Ms. Busacca stated it has to be done before September and the Board does not have an evening meeting in August or September. Commissioner Voltz stated they can set one up for this issue; it is important to a lot of people; they should have a say in their government and how it runs; and if they cannot do it in the evening, then it is not fair to everybody. Ms. Busacca stated the Board would have scheduled nine meetings in August, but they can do that in the future. Commissioner Voltz stated there is no meeting scheduled for next Tuesday and there is no reason why they could not have an evening meeting to address those issues, as more people would have come out.
Commissioner Colon stated the Board discussed it at the budget hearing; the Board did not see the letter that went out; she does not think the community realizes that; it says the Board, but the Board did not approve the letter and did not know it went out; and it would have done a better job of having the meetings at a right time. She stated the letter stated putting liens on properties, which was extremely disrespectful to a lot of people who read that letter because they felt the Board was forcing them and being arrogant; she regrets that the letter went out without Board approval; and in the future, letters would not go out without the Board looking at them first. Commissioner Colon stated to do damage control and send out another letter would cost $85,000; and the Board is upset about how it was handled and will make sure it does not happen again. She stated Florida Statutes say if someone does not pay taxes or assessments, there would be a lien on the property; that comes from the State and it should have been stated that way; but it came across like Brevard County would put the lien on the property as a scare tactic; and she wants to apologize for that letter and the way it was written.
Commissioner Voltz stated she realizes it is scheduled at 1:00 p.m. time certain, but there are a lot of people here for that item; and she does not know if they advertised it as a 1:00 p.m. time certain. Commissioner Carlson stated people can find out by calling the County; and it is unfair for them to sit at the meeting all day, but other people are here also for their items.
Ms. Simpson stated the article said the meeting started at 9:00 a.m.; she is going to stick around because she is coming back for this item; and everybody needs to stick together and tell the Board how they feel about everything and anything.
Chairman Pritchard stated Stormwater and Solid Waste will not be heard until 1:00 p.m. and storage of vehicles will not be heard until 2:30 p.m.; and people who are here for those items can enjoy the meeting or go have breakfast, as there are other time certains this morning.
REPORT, RE: LETTER FROM ESCAMBIA COUNTY
The Board acknowledged receipt of a letter from Escambia County Board of County Commissioners read by Chairman Pritchard extending appreciation for the offer of assistance with hurricane-related animal issues following Hurricane Dennis.
REPORT, RE: LETTER FROM TAX COLLECTOR ON 2005 TAX ROLL EXTENSION
The Board acknowledged receipt of a letter from Rod Northcutt, Tax Collector, requesting extension of the 2005 Tax Roll until completion of the Value Adjustment Board hearings.
Motion by Commissioner Scarborough, seconded by Commissioner Colon, to approve extension of the tax rolls until after the Value Adjustment board hearings. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.
REPORT, RE: TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES AND DRI’S
Chairman Pritchard stated the discussion at the last workshop dealt with transportation impact fees and developments of regional impact (DRI’s); the presentation and subsequent discussion about that was a gross misrepresentation of fact; the Board was told DRI’s received an alleged full credit for transportation impact fees, but only paid one-third of the amount; and that led him to believe that DRI’s were only paying one-third of the currently charged fee. Chairman Pritchard stated he was very concerned about the alleged return on investment; during in-depth questioning, he found that it was completely untrue; the DRI’s pay the same impact fee as all other residential construction; and they pay for the entire road even though they may only have a traffic demand of 25% of the road’s capacity. He stated the County gives the DRI a credit for 75% of the road’s cost in the form of impact fee credits if the DRI only requires 25% of the capacity; and the impact fee credit is applied to homes as they receive their CO’s. He stated the DRI does not receive an increased benefit; however, the County does as the road is completely paid for by the DRI and the County gets to reimburse the DRI over a long period of time. He stated what was originally presented was false, misleading, and perhaps a blatant attempt to orchestrate an emotional vote based upon erroneous testimony; and he is very disappointed in staff and some Commissioners’ attempts to mislead the public.
Commissioner Colon stated there were about four people who tried to explain how it worked and everybody was having a hard time understanding it; however, at the end of the workshop, she thought the Chairman was comfortable with their answers because it was a difficult formula. She stated she did not see any Commissioners trying to mislead the public; staff tried to elaborate to the best of their ability a subject that is very complex; and she did not see what Chairman Pritchard mentioned, and is trying to figure out if that was his perception.
Chairman Pritchard stated it was not presented well, then there was an attempt to reinforce the bad presentation; it took him a while to figure out what exactly was going on; and when he did, that is when the resolve came about. He stated no one was receiving full credit for one-third payment, which was alleged; what was alleged was wrong and it took him a while to cut through the minutia to come up with what the real answer was; and he does not like getting smoke blown up his skirt and wants people to realize that. Commissioner Colon inquired if it was part of the presentation or did the Board ask that question and staff tried to answer; with Chairman Pritchard responding it was the presentation then the justification that came about by some who were supporting the presentation; the justification that ensued made it blatant; and that is what he disagrees with. He stated they need to have truth and accountability in government.
REPORT, RE: CONSERVATION LANDS ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP
Chairman Pritchard read a note sent to County Manager Peggy Busacca regarding the Future Land Use Map advising of his meeting with Mike Moehle on the inaccuracy of the Future Land Use Map utilized to depict public and private conservation lands in North Brevard County. He compared the Future Land Use Map with the map provided by Mike Moehle, and gave a long dissertation on the differences between the maps.
Chairman Pritchard passed the gavel to Vice Chairman Voltz.
Motion by Commissioner Pritchard, seconded by Commissioner Colon, to direct staff to depict every piece of land that is set aside for conservation, advertised as national refuge, or in any way has an indication that it is set aside for conservation on the maps in a color to be outstanding so that it provides an accurate representation of lands in Brevard County that are set aside for conservation, whether they are federal, State, or local governmental lands.
Commissioner Scarborough requested a caveat that the Board get comments from
staff as to the methodologies it applies apply to different areas. Commissioner
Carlson suggested staff bring back the maps for the Board to review with methodology
that says it can officially do that and at that point the Board can look at
putting the maps in the Comprehensive Plan as an amendment.
Vice Chairman Voltz called for a vote on the motion. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.
Vice Chairman Voltz returned the gavel to Chairman Pritchard.
