REPORT, RE: GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN

Commissioner Carlson stated former County Commissioner Sue Schmitt, who now works for PBS&J, Inc., has asked Secretary Cohen from Department of Community Affairs to come to Brevard County and talk to the community about changes in the Growth Management Plan; and it is going to take place August 11, 2005 at 9:00 a.m. at Imperial Comfort Inn.

REPORT, RE: MYREGION.ORG BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

Commissioner Carlson advised there will be a MyRegion.org Board of Directors Meeting on August 12, 2005 at Best Western Admiral’s Inn in Winter Haven; and there will be a rollout for the Naturally Central Florida document. She stated the primary mission of the Myregion.org Board of Directors is for Central Florida to be globally competitive in the 21st Century while maintaining a high standard quality of life. She stated to help achieve this goal everyone must recognize that the quality of life of citizens and tourists is dependent on the beauty and health of the environment in which people live, work, and play; and Naturally Central Florida, a partnership between seven Central Florida counties, Myregion.org, and the University of Central Florida Metropolitan Center for Regional Studies was created to respond wisely and responsibly to the unprecedented growth people are experiencing and will continue to experience through the decades ahead.

REPORT, RE: PAPERLESS AGENDA AND LAPTOPS

Chairman Pritchard inquired about the paperless agenda; stated it is hinging on getting the Board laptops that would be set up when the Commissioners arrive; all of the agendaed material and backup information would be on the laptops; and if it is going to focus on the County purchasing laptops, then staff needs to move forward with purchasing whatever basic laptops are needed.

Information Technology Director Gino Butto advised the automated agenda component is waiting on replacement of the email system; as far as laptops, certain portions can be implemented at any time, such as agendas that are scanned; other documents with hard copies can be electronic; and it does not have to have the agenda workflow built into the Board’s ability to use a laptop.

Discussion ensued concerning connectivity to the network, wireless network, cost-effective applications, security issues, alternatives, and email issues.

The Board directed Mr. Butto to provide a report to the Board as soon as possible on the cost difference and what alternatives are available for the paperless agenda, laptops, and making the transition as simple as possible.

REPORT, RE: WATER RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 2005

Chairman Pritchard read an excerpt of a presentation made by Congressman Dave Weldon in Congress on July 15, 2005 dealing with the Water Resources and Development Act of 2005; advised of what Congressman Weldon and others were able to do in support of this and the benefit it means to Brevard County; the Bill includes several provisions that are important to the residents of the County as a whole and those living in the Mid Reach or worm rock area, in particular; and the Bill has been passed. He stated staff is drafting a letter expressing the Board’s appreciation to Congressman Weldon; and a copy of the letter will also go to the League of Cities.

REPORT, RE: LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN BREVARD COUNTY

Chairman Pritchard stated Brenda Warner sent him an email in May 2005 regarding the lack of affordable housing in Brevard County; the Space Coast Association of Realtors is following the issue; and the County is becoming increasingly concerned about what the future holds for the citizens of Brevard County.

Brenda Warner advised the issue has become a concern for the members of the Association; one member indicated he had many rental properties rented under Section 8 housing vouchers; a lot of the leases are coming due; and people are no longer going to be able to afford to live in the homes because the homeowners are wanting to increase the rents. She stated the market will bear the increase, insurance rates have increased, and repairs have been made after the hurricanes, but Section 8 housing vouchers are not being increased. She noted the member does not want to put people out; the rental market is tight; the people will be homeless if he puts them out; and last August the federal government froze Section 8 housing vouchers. She stated County staff and other people involved in housing are working hard to find homes for the people; hundreds of families in Brevard County have no affordable place to live; it is not only people with Section 8 housing vouchers, but working families and young people wanting to leave home for the first time; and there are people who are never going to be homeowners.

Discussion ensued on the National Association of Realtors, affordable housing issues, surveys on affordable housing, rising home costs, Florida Association of Realtors, providing housing for disabled individuals, Merritt Island Redevelopment Area (MIRA), Baxley Manor, educating the public and media on actual facts of affordable housing to overcome misconception of what happens when affordable housing is brought into an area, management of rental property, developers and development agreements, rules set by the Board, and workforce housing.

RESOLUTION, RE: RECOGNIZING ROYAL RANGER MATTHEW SAMM

Chairman Pritchard read aloud a resolution congratulating Matthew Samm for achieving a Bronze Medal from the Royal Rangers.

Motion by Commissioner Voltz, seconded by Commissioner Carlson, to adopt Resolution congratulating Matthew Samm for achieving a Bronze medal from the Royal Rangers and wishing him success in all future endeavors. Motion carried and ordered unanimously. (See page for Resolution No. 05-169.)

Matthew Samm advised of his activities in the Royal Rangers.

The Sergeant with the Royal Rangers advised of the role of the Royal Rangers.

Chairman Pritchard presented the Resolution to Matthew Samm.

PUBLIC COMMENT - MARTIN McCLELLAN, RE: PORT ST. JOHN ADVISORY BOARD

Martin McClellan stated the Board adopted a Resolution appointing members to the Port St. John Advisory Board and then to turn it over to the voters of Port St. John as to whether they want the Advisory Board to continue or not; and inquired when the County Commission thinks it might occur. He noted it has been some time already; the Advisory Board met once in January 2005 to swear him in; and there has been no other activity with such Board.

Commissioner Scarborough stated his office has requested applications; the County Commission will be receiving the applications shortly; and putting the referendum before the people of Port St. John probably will not occur until there is another election going on.

Chairman Pritchard advised the County Commission can bring it to the voters attention in 2006.

Commissioner Carlson inquired did the County Commission follow the North Merritt Island Dependent Special District Board example and structure; with Chairman Pritchard responding yes.

Commissioner Scarborough advised there are two people on the Advisory Board who were elected; and the vacant positions will follow something similar to the North Merritt Island Dependent Special District Board concept.

Transportation Engineering Director John Denninghoff stated staff followed the policies associated for speed hump installation; stop signs for speed control is an improper use of stop signs and from a liability perspective causes contempt for stop signs as people run them; speed humps are designed and constructed to conform with ADA standards; and if there is a concern over liability associated with speed humps, then the County needs to concern itself with the speed humps that are already installed. He noted he does not know exactly how many there are in the County, but it is a substantial number.

Planning and Zoning Director Robin Sobrino advised of staff’s suggestions as to how to deal with controversial rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment applications so the Board does not encounter a room full of people at a Board meeting where the applicant and neighborhood have not had an opportunity to meet and talk about issues, and tried to resolve any issues.

PUBLIC HEARING, RE: ORDINANCE IMPOSING SIX-MONTH MORATORIUM ON
ISSUANCE OF DRIVEWAY PERMITS ON WICKHAM ROAD (FIRST HEARING)

Chairman Pritchard called for the public hearing to consider an ordinance imposing a six-month moratorium on issuance of driveway permits on Wickham Road.

Howard Ralls, Assistant City Manager for City of Melbourne, advised the City recognizes there is a traffic problem on Wickham Road; it is interested in cooperating and wants to participate in resolving the problem; the moratorium is a measure that will delay development and the increase of traffic on Wickham Road until the County and City can define where they are; and it is done in using concurrency. He noted concurrency is a planning tool; and inquired about doing an engineering study to see what improvements are needed. He requested the Board give County staff direction to coordinate an agreement between the County and City on concurrency matters. He advised the City concurs with the County’s efforts to resolve traffic problems; and requested the alternatives be defined by both answering the concurrency issue and the engineering study by the end of the six-month period.

The Board discussed the Intelligent Traffic System (ITS), defined formula for fair share based on the new Growth Management law; PBS&J, Inc. reviewing road segments; engineering study; 180 days for the moratorium from August 4, 2005, and if there is a solution before the six-month period, then the moratorium can be removed at any point within the 180 days; extension
of the moratorium on driveway permits to adjoining segments of Wickham Road be limited to 1,320 feet north and south of Pineda Causeway and Parkway Drive; and clarification of language in Section 7, Area Encompassed.

There being no objections heard, motion was made by Commissioner Carlson, seconded by Commissioner Voltz, to direct staff to clarify language in Section 7, Area Encompassed, and forward the ordinance imposing a six-month moratorium on the issuance of driveway permits on Wickham Road between Pineda Causeway and Parkway Drive, and extension of the moratorium on driveway permits to adjoining segments of Wickham Road be limited to 1,320 feet north and south of Pineda Causeway and Parkway Drive respectively, to the second public hearing scheduled for August 4, 2005. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

Motion by Commissioner Scarborough, seconded by Commissioner Voltz, to direct staff to provide a report to the Board on the difference between the City of Melbourne and the County’s methodologies, and advantages and disadvantages. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

APPROVAL, RE: BREVARD COUNTY HOME CONSORTIUM CONSOLIDATED PLAN AND
BREVARD COUNTY 2005-2006 ACTION PLAN

Motion by Commissioner Carlson, seconded by Commissioner Voltz, to approve the Brevard County HOME Consortium 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan and Brevard County’s 2005-2006 Action Plan; and authorize the Chairman to execute the required certifications and SFS-424 Application for Federal Assistance Form for the CDBG and HOME Program; authorize the County Manager or designee to execute the CDBG and HOME Program Grant Agreements and Disbursement Agreements with the four entitlement cities upon approval from HUD, and to sign contractual agreements for projects identified in the Action Plan after approval from Risk Management and the County Attorneys’ Office; and authorize Facilities Construction or Parks and Recreation Department as construction managers to use competitive bids, State contracts, or sole sources to secure contractors to carry out the proposed projects.

RESOLUTION, RE: AUTHORIZING BREVARD COUNTY HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY
TO ISSUE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS (CLEARLAKE CROSSINGS
PROJECT)

Commissioner Carlson inquired about the conversation the Board had earlier this morning with Brenda Warner concerning Section 8 housing vouchers and affordable housing.

Attorney Angela Abbott, representing Brevard County Housing Finance Authority, stated the Authority does not have any direct relationship with Section 8.

Commissioner Carlson inquired is there an affordable housing part to this and funding from the federal government; with Attorney Abbott responding there will be a 4% tax credit element to it, but no Section 8 dollars. Commissioner Carlson inquired is there affordability aspects to it in terms of the rentals. Attorney Abbott responded every unit is limited to lower or moderate income. Commissioner Carlson inquired is it considered affordable housing; with Attorney Abbott responding yes.

Chairman Pritchard stated the Board’s concern is being able to provide workforce housing for the people who are employed in good jobs, but are only one, two, and five-year employees, and do not make as much as someone who has been employed for 15 or 20 years; they are two-income families that have a child or two and things are tough; everyone has been there and knows that; and it is a question of what can be done to provide good ownership housing.

Attorney Abbott advised the Authority is continuing to work on ownership programs as well.

Discussion ensued on maintenance issues, rental and land use restriction agreements, compliance monitor for inspection of properties, qualification of tenants, escrowed reserves, tax credit process, partnerships, and market rate units.

Commissioner Colon inquired where does Transom Development have other projects.

Renee´ Sandell, representing Transom Development, responded the Company has projects throughout the Southeast; and it is a subsidiary of SunTrust Bank, including Bradenton, City of Wildwood, St. Augustine, and downtown Miami.

Chairman Pritchard stated the Board’s concern is absentee ownership; the County has a situation with a community where the landlord lives in South Florida; the Board wants to make sure the Clearlake Crossings Project is going to be a first class project; and it is in a great location.

Motion by Commissioner Carlson, seconded by Commissioner Voltz, to adopt a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Brevard County, Florida, approving the issuance of not exceeding $11,500,000 Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds of the Brevard County Housing Finance Authority, Brevard County, Florida, for Clearlake Crossings Project; and providing an effective date. Motion carried and ordered; Commissioner Colon voted nay. (See page
for Resolution No. 05-170.)

CITIZEN REQUEST - ANIMAL GUARDIANS OF BREVARD, RE: OPERATION OF LOW-
COST COMPANION ANIMAL STERILIZATION CLINIC AT SOUTH ANIMAL CARE AND
ADOPTION CENTER

Ralph Lombard, Dennis Peer, Mary Peer, Theresa Clifton, Daniel Wadler, Jerry Payne, Patricia Keller, Susan Goodman, Kathleen Harer, Desiree´ Webber, Gail Gonzalez, Katherine McCoy, and Paula Slater, advised of their support for operation of a low-cost companion animal sterilization clinic.

Discussion resumed concerning private sector services, costs to taxpayers to run the Adoption Center, adoptable animals, spaying and neutering animals to decrease the number of potential offspring and potential number of adoptees, euthanasia of animals, additional low-cost spay and neuter clinics, education programs, reimbursement to the County, rental agreement with the County to use the South Animal Care and Adoption Center, liability issues, working out contractual arrangements, dedication and loyalty to animals, increased population of animals, the need for animal shelters, the good job being done by Animal Services and Enforcement Department staff, animal services by the private sector, Humane Society, volunteers, accountability and itemization, guidelines, membership of Animal Guardians of Brevard, transfer of strays to South Animal Care and Adoption Center; killing animals not being the answer, but spaying and neutering of animals is; financial issues, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA); Trap, Neuter, and Release (TNR); feral cats, the need for more community involvement, commitment of resources, and Space Coast Feline Network.

Motion by Commissioner Colon, seconded by Commissioner Voltz, to direct staff to provide a report to the Board concerning a lease with Animal Guardians of Brevard for operation of a low-cost companion animal sterilization clinic on weekends at the South Animal Care and Adoption Center. Motion carried and ordered unanimously.

Commissioner Carlson stated it is a good project; to be the most cost-effective, there needs to be creation of a network; the groups that are doing neutering and spaying need to work together on a schedule; and the County needs to look at Alachua County’s process. She inquired will the Board get a report back from staff as an agenda item for consideration; with Animal Services and Enforcement Director Craig Engelson responding affirmatively.

Chairman Pritchard stated the Board talked about privatization and $750,000 allocated for North and South Animal Shelters; if the County was able to privatize, it could use the money for other purposes; and inquired where is it going to get the necessary funds to do the things that people would like to see done. He noted this item could be one of them; the Board is always interested in looking for ways to fund a variety of programs; the program proposed by Animal Guardians of Brevard is great; and if the County is able to privatize and save money, then it is able to find money to use on this program and expand it.

Commissioner Voltz stated she cannot make a decision today regarding privatization as she does not have all the facts; she does not know how much it is going to cost and if the County will save any money; and if the Board tries to decide now without knowing all the facts, then it is not being responsible.

Commissioner Carlson stated from a business perspective, privatization is good for certain areas of government, but other areas do not lend themselves to privatization; animal control deals in health, safety, and welfare of the population; a big part of the $3 million budget is in Animal Services and Enforcement personnel on the road day in and day out dealing with calls that come in because of strays and dangerous dogs; and the proposal today is a good one. She noted testimony would make one conclude that privatization is not a moneymaker; and the Board can discuss the issues in further detail at the budget workshop.

Commissioner Scarborough stated to activate community response and giving cannot be used in the same text as privatization.
