Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 24, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David E. Edwards, County Administrator Luis N. Serna, Planning and Community Development Director Esrone McDaniels, Assistant Director, Meridian
Subject: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Approve the FY2012/13 PHA Five Year and Annual Plan
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to conduct the public hearing and approve the PHA Five Year and Annual Plan.
Background: Wakulla County’s Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8) has been in a “troubled” status for approximately eight (8) years. PHA’s in a troubled status must submit an updated Annual PHA Plan reflecting the PHA’s immediate operations, program participants, programs, services and the PHA’s strategy of handling operational concerns, residents’ concerns and needs, programs and services for the upcoming fiscal year. 24 CFR Part 903 requires the Annual PHA Plan to be made available for public comment at least forty-five (45) days before a hearing is conducted. This allows affected citizens to provide comments to the agency regarding the various aspects of the Annual PHA Plan.
Analysis: The Annual PHA Plan outlines the goals and priorities of the PHA for the upcoming fiscal year. Due to the troubled status of the PHA, there are several aspects of the program that are recommended for revisions. The County’s Housing Choice Voucher (Section) Administrative Plan is also a part of this process. Revisions to the Administrative Plan include some of the following terms and objectives:
1. Increase lease-up and voucher utilization rate under the program. 2. Focus on families that are employed to decrease over-subsidization of vouchers. 3. Incorporate preferences relative to work, veterans, elderly and disabled and prioritize them in the waiting list process. 4. Open up the waiting list to increase beneficiaries. 5. Focus on rent reasonableness to ensure that rents paid are in alignment with the market.
Agenda Request: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Approve the FY2012/13 PHA Five Year and Annual Plan November 5, 2012 Page 2
6. Establish some additional controls within the program to limit abuse of funding.
The Notice of Public Hearing for the Annual PHA Plan was published in the Wakulla News on September 13, 2012. This notice allows affected citizens to inspect and provide comments to the agency on the content of the Annual PHA Plan until October 30, 2012 which reflects the forty-five (45) day compliance period pursuant to 24 CFR Part 903. Upon conducting the public hearing and consideration of all public comments, the Annual PHA Plan will be submitted electronically to HUD for approval. This is the plan by which the Section 8 Program will operate throughout fiscal year 2012-2013. Once the program is out of the troubled status, the County will no longer need to submit the Annual PHA Plan. The County should receive a letter from HUD within the next couple of weeks indicating that the Section 8 Program is no longer in a troubled status.
Budgetar y I mpact: No budgetary impact is anticipated.
Options: 1. Approve to conduct the public hearing and approve the PHA Five Year and Annual Plan. 2. Do not approve to conduct the public hearing and approve the PHA Five Year and Annual Plan. 3. Board Direction.
Recommendation: Option #1
Attachment(s): 1. PHA Public Hearing Notice 2. PHA Five Year and Annual Plan 3. Civil Rights Certification and HUD PHA Plan Resolution

Based on information provided by the applicable Consolidated Plan, information provided by HUD, and other generally available data, make a reasonable effort to identify the housing needs of the low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income families who reside in the jurisdiction served by the PHA, including elderly families, families with disabilities, and households of various races and ethnic groups, and other families who are on the public housing and Section 8 tenant-based assistance waiting lists. The identification of housing needs must address issues of affordability, supply, quality, accessibility, size 9.0 of units, and location. The Wakulla County Housing Authority currently assists low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income families, including elderly families, families with disabilities, and households of various races and ethnic groups. There is a great demand for the Section 8 program in a rural area where rents have skyrocketed. It is the Board of County Commissioners’ intent to serve more households with the program’s resources. In June 2012, the Board adopted lower payment standards in an effort to decrease oversubsidization and to also assist additional families. The Board also authorized that a rent study be conducted to determine the reasonableness of rents charged by landlords participating in the program. The study is expected to be completed by the beginning of the last quarter of 2012. This will ensure that units are not being oversubsidized and will potentially maximize the beneficiaries of the program and also raise awareness of those that may be taking advantage of the program. The County also plans to take a comprehensive look at its Administrative Plan and make the changes necessary to create a solid program that is accountable and maximizes the resources made available by HUD.
Strategy for Addressing Housing Needs. Provide a brief description of the PHA’s strategy for addressing the housing needs of families in the jurisdiction and on the waiting list in the upcoming year.

The County has purged the waiting list and has begun to serve additional families off the waiting list. Since May 2012, the
County has reached out to twenty (20) families on the waiting list of which several are new participants within the program.
Within the last quarter of 2012, the Wakulla County Housing Authority will revise its Administrative Plan to establish more detailed priorities for participation in the Section 8 program and will begin to open up the waiting list to accept more potential program participants. 10.0 Additional Information.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 19, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David Edwards, County Administrator Jessica Welch, Communications & Public Services Director Sheree Keeler, Intergovernmental Affairs Heather Encinosa, County Attorney
Subject: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Establishing the RESTORE Act Advisory Committee
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to conduct the public hearing and adopt the proposed Ordinance establishing the Wakulla County RESTORE Act Advisory Committee.
Background: The RESTORE Act was passed by Congress in July 2012. The passage of this monumental Act will provide millions of dollars to Florida as a result of fines levied against companies responsible for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill.
The U.S. Treasury in consultation with other federal agencies is required to establish rules within 180 days of the passage of the RESTORE ACT to govern the distribution of these funds to the recipients as designated by the Act. These rules at a minimum must include provisions such as guidelines for the U.S. Treasury to assess program expenditures and compliance and auditing requirements. The RESTORE Act also mandates that such procedures allow for an opportunity for public comment before they are adopted. As of this date, these procedures have not been drafted or made available for public comment.
The RESTORE Act specifically allocates 35 percent (of 80 percent of the total amount of levied fines) to the Gulf States (Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida) in equal shares (i.e. Pot 1). Florida Gulf Coast counties, unlike in other states, will receive their funds direct from the Federal government.
Florida’s share of the 35 percent allocation or Pot 1 is to be split between the eight counties most impacted (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Bay, Gulf, Franklin and Wakulla Counties)
Agenda Request: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Establishing the RESTORE Act Advisory Committee November 5, 2012 Page 2 who will share 75 percent; and, the other Gulf Coast counties reaching from Jefferson County to Monroe County will receive the remaining 25 percent. The Counties most impacted will receive their funds based upon an agreed to formula and the other counties will receive their share based on the formula specified in the RESTORE Act.
The RESTORE Act, section 1603 (3) further defines the use and eligible activities for which these funds can be used by the Gulf Coast states, as follows:
(I) Restoration and protection of the natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine and wildlife habitats, beaches, and coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coast region. (II) Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, and natural resources. (III) Implementation of a federally approved marine, coastal, or comprehensive conservation management plan, including fisheries monitoring. (IV) Workforce development and job creation. (V) Improvements to or on State parks located in coastal areas affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. (VI) Infrastructure projects benefitting the economy or ecological resources, including port infrastructure. (VII) Coastal flood protection and related infrastructure. (VIII) Planning assistance (IX) Administrative costs of complying with this section. (Cannot be greater than 3 percent)
Section 1063 (3) of the RESTORE Act, additionally defines the use and eligible activities for which these funds may be used by the Gulf Coast states for promotion of tourism and seafood in the Gulf Coast region, as follows:
(I) Promotion of tourism in the Gulf Coast region, including recreational fishing. (II) Promotion of the consumption of seafood harvested from the Gulf Coast region.
The RESTORE Act also directs funds for three other specific purposes (or Pots). It should be noted that these funds do not go direct to any Florida County but will go direct to the State or other designated entity to be made available on a competitive basis to eligible organizations statewide.
At the October 1, 2012 Board Meeting, the Board approved staff to schedule and advertise this public hearing to consider adopting the proposed ordinance establishing the RESTORE Act Advisory Committee.
Analysis:
Agenda Request: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Establishing the RESTORE Act Advisory Committee November 5, 2012 Page 3
Wakulla County must be prepared and positioned to receive its share of the funds when they are made available. It is in the best interest of the citizens of Wakulla County to receive input on the use of the RESTORE Act funds and eligible projects from a committee of individuals who have a broad range of knowledge and experience with one or more of the aforementioned allowable uses recognized by the RESTORE Act.
The proposed Ordinance (Attachment #1) creates a thirteen member committee to be called the Wakulla County RESTORE Act Advisory Committee, sets forth the duties and responsibilities of the Committee, outlines the composition of the Committee and means of appointing members by resolution of the Board, and sets forth the requirements for voting and taking action at Committee meetings.
Budgetary Impact: If approved, this agenda item will incur a budgetary impact for Muni Code at $19.50 per page which is estimated at $195.00.
Options: 1. Approve to conduct the public hearing and adopt the proposed Ordinance establishing the Wakulla County RESTORE Act Advisory Committee. 2. Do not approve to conduct the public hearing and do not adopt the proposed Ordinance establishing the Wakulla County RESTORE Act Advisory Committee. 3. Board Direction.

fines to be allocated to those counties that front on the Gulf coast, but were non-
disproportionately impacted (i.e., Jefferson County south to Monroe County) by the
2010 Deep Water Horizon event; and
WHEREAS, the RESTORE Act, section 1603 (3) further defines the use and eligible activities for which these funds may be used by the Gulf Coast states for

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 17, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David Edwards, County Administrator Heather Encinosa, County Attorney
Subject: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Amending Section 2.065 of the County Code Regarding Commissioner Noninterference
Statement of Issue: This agenda item request Board approval to conduct the public hearing and adopt the proposed ordinance amending section 2.065 of the County Code regarding Commissioner Noninterference.
Background: Wakulla County Code Section 3-4 states “Except for the purpose of inquiry and information, members of the board of county commissioners are expressly prohibited from interfering with the performance of the duties of any employee of the county government who is under the direct or indirect supervision of the county administrator by giving said employees instructions or directives. Such action shall be malfeasance within the meaning of article IV, section 7(a) of the Florida Constitution. However, nothing contained herein shall prevent a Commissioner from discussing any county policy or program with a citizen or referring a citizen complaint or request for information to the County Administrator or County Attorney.” Therefore, on October 1, 2012 the Board approved for staff to schedule and advertise the public hearing.
Analysis: This agenda item lays out formal adapting guidelines on how Commissioners are and are not allowed to interact with staff that is under the direct or indirect supervision of the County Administrator. This will make staff’s job easier and will save already limited staff time. This policy would clarify the non-interference portion of the Wakulla County Code.
Budgetary Impact: The budgetary impact will be the cost of Muni Code which will be $19.50 per page for a total of $156.00.
Options:
1. Approve to conduct the public hearing and adopt the proposed ordinance amending Section 2.065 of the County Code regarding Commissioner Noninterference. 2. Do not approve to conduct the public hearing and do not adopt the proposed ordinance amending Section 2.065 of the County Code regarding Commissioner Noninterference. 3. Board direction.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 16, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David Edwards, County Administrator Heather J. Encinosa, County Attorney
Subject: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Revising the County Noise Ordinance
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to conduct the public hearing and adopt the proposed ordinance revising the County’s Noise Ordinance (Attachment #1).
Background: Previously, due to concerns regarding excessive noise within the County, the Board directed the County Attorney’s Office to work with the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office to develop a new ordinance repealing the County’s code provisions related to excessive noise. On September 6, 2012, the Board adopted a new noise ordinance #2012-26 repealing the previous code provisions. The new ordinance provided a more comprehensive standards-based means of regulating excessive noise, provided detailed exemptions, and provided a clear method for enforcement of the ordinance.
Following adoption of the Ordinance and after conducting a number of sound level tests in and around the County, the Sheriff’s Office recommended several modifications to the Ordinance which are incorporated in the revised draft. Based on these recommendations, staff and the County Attorney’s Office are recommending a few specific revisions to the noise ordinance as reflected in the strike-through and underlining included in the attached revised ordinance.
At its October 15, 2012, meeting, the Board directed staff to schedule and advertise a public hearing for consideration of the revised Noise Ordinance.
Analysis: The specific revisions included in the revised ordinance are as follows:
• The decibel levels provided in Section 5(A) of the original ordinance are being adjusted up 10 decibels each to ensure that the ordinance makes the necessary allowances for
Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Revising the County Noise Ordinance November 5, 2012 Page 2
environmental noise not caused by the offending person or property. • The period for measuring a violation provided for in Section 5(B)(4) will remain at 10 minutes, however, a violation will now only exist if the noise exceeds 50% of that period (or 5 minutes). • Section 5(B)(5) is being modified to require that Sound Meters only be calibrated at the beginning of each shift. Based on representations from the Sheriff’s Office, the meters will remain calibrated for periods in excess of each shift. Also, the Sheriff’s Office has requested that rather than requiring a sketch of the measuring area, that they be authorized to instead provide a description of the area. This change is due to current limitations in their ability to enter a sketch into their tracking software. • A new paragraph (J) is added to Section 6 to clarify that in accordance with s. 790.33, Florida Statutes (prohibiting local regulation of firearms), the Ordinance is not intended to regulate firearms. • The final change requested by the Sheriff’s Office is that the ordinance define the period during which a person must pay or contest a citation. For this reason, staff recommends that Section 7(D)(2)(g) be amended to require that all citations be contested or paid no more than 30 days after the date they are issued.
Budgetary Impact: If the proposed Ordinance is adopted a fee of $156.00 will be charged for the required insert into the County’s Code by MuniCode.
Options: 1. Approve to conduct the public hearing to adopt the proposed Ordinance revising the County Noise Ordinance. 2. Do not approve to conduct the public hearing to adopt the proposed Ordinance revising the County Noise Ordinance. 3. Board Direction.
Recommendation: Option #1

ORDINANCE NO. 2012-____
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WAKULLA COUNTY, FLORIDA, RESTRICTING THE SALE AND/OR DISTRIBUTION OF FLAVORED TOBACCO PRODUCTS; PROVIDING FOR DEFINITIONS; PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; PROVIDING FOR ENFORCEMENT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, on June 22, 2009, the President of the United States signed into law the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which among other things, increased nationwide efforts to block tobacco product sales to youth; and
WHEREAS, the United States Congress made the following findings of fact concerning tobacco use by minors:
(1) The use of tobacco products by the Nation’s children is a pediatric disease of considerable proportions that results in new generations of tobacco-dependent children and adults.
**** (6) Because past efforts to restrict advertising and marketing of tobacco products have failed adequately to curb tobacco use by adolescents, comprehensive restrictions on the sale, promotion, and distribution of such products are needed.
**** (14) Reducing the use of tobacco by minors by 50 percent would prevent well over 10,000,000 of today’s children from becoming regular, daily smokers, saving over 3,000,000 of them from premature death due to tobacco-induced disease. Such a reduction in youth smoking would also result in approximately $75,000,000,000 in savings attributable to reduced health care costs; and
WHEREAS, research from the Harvard School of Public Health (published November 2005) found that cigarette makers are targeting young smokers with new candy and liqueur flavored brands that mask the harsh and toxic properties found in tobacco smoke; and
WHEREAS, tobacco companies use youth-oriented colorful and stylish packaging and exploit adolescents’ attraction to candy flavors with names such as “Mandarin Mint,” “Winter Warm Toffee,” and “Twista Chill”; and
1
WHEREAS, the 2012 Florida Youth Tobacco Survey found that Wakulla County youth ages 11-17 had a higher incidence of utilizing tobacco products than the state average; and
WHEREAS, the Wakulla County Coalition for Youth, the Wakulla County Tobacco Free Partnership and the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners desire to discourage the unhealthy practice of smoking tobacco products and to help prevent the use of nicotine by minors.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 18, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David Edwards, County Administrator Heather J. Encinosa, County Attorney
Subject: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Establishing the Greater Crawfordville Tax Increment Area
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to conduct the public hearing and adopt the proposed Ordinance establishing a Tax Increment Area for Greater Crawfordville to aid in the further development and implementation of the Crawfordville Town Plan (Attachment #1).
Background: Previously, the Board engaged Kimley-Horn to develop a Town Plan for the Crawfordville area as a tool to foster redevelopment, job growth, and a more diversified economy through the provision of needed infrastructure within this area. The Town Plan identified needed infrastructure, including transportation, stormwater, sewer, and pedestrian improvements.
As one method of providing these improvements, the Board directed staff to investigate and bring back an ordinance establishing a Community Redevelopment Area in accordance with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. In researching this option, the County Attorney recommended that the County employ a tax increment area rather than a formal CRA as a means to accomplish the County’s objectives in a less expensive and more efficient manner. A summary of the CRA and Tax Increment methods are provided below:
CRAs are a financial and planning mechanism that directs redevelopment in targeted areas that are characterized by blight and disinvestment.
CRA Process: • Adopt a Finding of Necessity. The County must adopt a resolution, supported by data and analysis, which makes a legislative finding that the conditions in the area meet the statutory criteria/definition of “slum areas” and/or “blighted areas.”
Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Establishing the Greater Crawfordville Tax Increment Area November 5, 2012 Page 2
• Establish a CRA Board. • Develop and adopt a Community Redevelopment Plan. The plan must address the unique needs of the targeted area and include the overall goals for redevelopment in the area, as well as identifying specific projects. o The general goals of a CRA district are to eliminate blight, improve public facilities, create safer traffic flows, preserve and enhance residential neighborhoods, and improve the overall economic viability of the district. o Possible programs would include street improvements, park improvements, development of infill housing, recruitment of new businesses and partnerships with job-training and placement services. • Create a Redevelopment Trust Fund.
Home Rule Tax Increment Financing is a financial mechanism that allows counties to use the increase in tax revenue in a designated area to fund designated activities, such as economic development. By creating an economic development zone or a tax increment zone, the County can promote economic growth within a designated area through the advancement of new employment opportunities; the implementation of critically needed infrastructure; and the creation and expansion of employment centers.
TIF Process: • Designation of TIF district/area. • Establish a base year, which is normally the year in which the district is established. • Determine the aggregate tax value of all property in the district (a.k.a. frozen tax base). • Develop and adopt a Development Plan. The plan should identify the public benefit to be derived, infrastructure necessary and required to implement and support an economic development program, any incentives, regulatory or procedural changes, donations or contributions as may be deemed necessary to further economic development and/or redevelopment within the designated area. • Create an Economic Development Trust Fund.
In summary, a CRA provides a strict procedural framework for tax increment financing; its applicability is limited to slum/blighted areas; and the County must make a “finding of necessity” supported by data and analysis, which can become very costly. For these reasons, staff recommends utilizing the County’s home rule authority to implement an economic development program through tax increment financing.
On October 15, 2012 the Board approved staff to schedule and advertise the public hearing to consider establishing the Greater Crawfordville Tax Increment Area.
Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt the Proposed Ordinance Establishing the Greater Crawfordville Tax Increment Area November 5, 2012 Page 3
Analysis: The proposed ordinance creates the Greater Crawfordville Area as a tax increment zone and sets up the processes to establish a dedicated economic development tool and funding source for the implementation of redevelopment initiatives, the advancement of new employment opportunities, the creation of economic development opportunities, and the provision of critical infrastructure needed to accomplish these goals. The ordinance defines the tax increment zone for the Crawfordville Town Plan Area, as adopted in Ordinance 2012-21. The boundaries of the Greater Crawfordville Area are intended to encompass a defined geographic area used to determine the Tax Increment paid and applied pursuant to ordinance, resolution or agreement within the meaning of the term "dedicated increment value" defined in section 200.001(8)(h), Florida Statutes. Commencing in the Initial Tax Increment Year, the Tax Increment calculated pursuant to Section 4 of this Ordinance within the Greater Crawfordville Area is intended to be a dedicated increment value referenced in the calculation of the "rolled back rate" under the method established in section 200.065(1), Florida Statutes.
The Tax Increment amount for Greater Crawfordville Area shall be determined annually by the application of the formula included in Section 4 of the ordinance based upon the Board’s established percentage, as will be set through a subsequent resolution. This enables the amount dedicated to the increment area to be adjusted more readily and will enable to Board to establish a graduated schedule of trust fund contributions if desired. For example, the Board may initially dedicate 95% of the tax increment to the trust fund and slowly reduce this amount as the goals of the Development Plan are accomplished. Annually any tax increment will be deposited into a dedicated trust fund for the increment area and used to fulfill the objectives of the development plan, as discussed below.
This Ordinance also calls for the creation of a development plan for the Greater Crawfordville Area. It is expected that the Town Plan will be used as this plan, but that it will be enhanced with potential additional infrastructure and prioritization of the infrastructure projects included in the Town Plan.
Budgetary Impact: If the proposed ordinance is adopted a fee of $19.50 per page; for a total of $156.00, will be incurred to place the Ordinance into code with Muni Code.
Options: 1. Approve to conduct the Public Hearing and adopt the proposed Ordinance establishing the Greater Crawfordville Tax Increment Area. 2. Do not approve to conduct the Public Hearing and adopt the proposed Ordinance establishing the Greater Crawfordville Tax Increment Area. 3. Board Direction.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 19, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David Edwards, County Administrator Luis N. Serna, Planning and Community Development Director
Subject: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt Transmittal of a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment Pertaining to Family Homestead Subdivisions
Statement of Issue: This agenda item is requesting Board approval to adopt transmittal of a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment pertaining to Family Homestead Subdivisions for the creation of a new Policy 1.10 of the Future Land Use Element.
Background: At the August 20, 2012 public hearing, the Board directed staff to revise the Wakulla County Comprehensive Plan to allow for the subdivision of property for homestead purposes by family members without regard to the maximum density established by the Comprehensive Plan. Staff prepared the proposed ordinance creating a new Policy 1.10 of the Future Land Use Element (Attachment 1).
The public hearing notice for the proposed amendment was advertised in The Wakulla News on September 20, 2012 (Attachment 2).
The Planning Commission considered this item at their October 8, 2012 public hearing. At this hearing, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend the proposed amendment for transmittal.
Analysis: Maximum allowable residential densities, as established in the Wakulla County Comprehensive Plan, range from 10 dwelling units per acre in more urban areas to one dwelling units per 20 acres in agricultural and one unit per 40 acres in conservation areas. These density limitations can prohibit owners of larger tracts from conveying land to their heirs, particularly in agricultural districts which require more land per dwelling unit.
Agenda Request: Request Board Approval to Conduct the Public Hearing and Adopt Transmittal of a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment Pertaining to Family Homestead Subdivisions November 5, 2012 Page 2
The Planning Department frequently receives inquiries regarding exceptions to the Comprehensive Plan for the conveyance of land to one’s heirs. Florida Statutes, Chapter 163, allows a local government to include a provision in its comprehensive plan to permit the use of a parcel of property solely as a homestead by a family member without regard to the density assigned to the parcel in the comprehensive plan. This exception is included in the comprehensive plans of a number of communities in Florida including Leon, Jefferson, Walton, Okaloosa, and Alachua Counties. Gadsden County formerly had such an exception.
Staff has drafted a proposed text amendment to the Future Land Use Element that would allow owners of homesteaded properties of 20 acres or larger to convey land to family members (as defined in Section 163.3179 of Florida Statutes: a grandparent, parent, stepparent, adopted parent, sibling, child, stepchild, adopted child, or grandchild) for homesteaded purposes as an exception to the density requirements of the Comprehensive Plan. The amendment would require implementing procedures in the Land Development Code for lot splits or subdivision of land under this policy, and for minimum lot sizes of the created and remaining lot. In addition, such conveyed lots would be subject to all other requirements of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code.
Budgetary Impact: If approval is given a fee of $19.50 per page will be incurred from MuniCode for a total of $97.50.
Options: 1. Approve to conduct the Public Hearing and approve to transmit the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the creation of a new Policy 1.10 of the Future Land Use Element pertaining to Family Homestead Subdivisions. 2.

Draft BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORKSHOP: RECREATIONAL TRAILS PROGRAM GRANT APPLICATION OCTOBER 15, 2012
The Board of County Commissioners in and for Wakulla County met for a Workshop on Monday, October 15, 2012, with Chairman Alan Brock presiding. Present were Commissioners Randy Merritt, Lynn Artz, Jerry Moore, and Mike Stewart. Also, present were County Administrator David Edwards, County Attorney Heather Encinosa and Deputy Clerk Evelyn Evans.
5:00 p.m. Meeting was called to order.
The workshop is intended to allow staff to present and discuss the Recreational Trails Program Grant Application for improvements to the OBBT Trailhead at Mashes Sands Park.
On September 17, 2012 Board Meeting, the Board approved staff to apply for the Department of Environmental (DEP) Recreational Trails Grant for an OBBT Trail Head located at the Mashes Sands Park and Bike Trail Amenities along C.R. 372 up to Tide Creek Bridge. This trail head is currently undeveloped and undefined and does not have a clear identification of where people should park. There are no bike racks, shelters or canoe launch and all of these things can be covered under this grant.
The first thing that has to be done is the conceptual and design plan in order to see where everything will go in the permitting process.
A citizen provided input regarding signage pointing to the Trailhead on Highway 98 and that the trail needs to be on the TDC Website and Rails to Trails. This Grant will not pay for signage except in the actual Trailhead. It was suggested that possibly TDC monies could be used for signs. There is currently a Wakulla County app for the phone that has the trails listed.
A suggestion was made to put recycle bins at the trail. Staff will be talking with the refuge about observation areas where a boardwalk can be built out over the sink holes.
The maximum grant award is $75,000 for nonmotorized and mixed use projects. There is a required 20% match, which can be either in-kind or cash. The notice of the grant award is anticipated in late 2012 or early 2013.
There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting adjourned by order of the Chairman at 3:50 p.m.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 19, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David Edwards, County Administrator Luis Serna, Planning & Community Development Director Heather J. Encinosa, County Attorney
Subject: Request Board Approval to Schedule and Advertise Two Public Hearings to Consider Revisions to the Wakulla County Wetlands Ordinance
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to schedule and advertise two public hearings required for consideration and approval of an ordinance revising the variance provisions included in the County’s Wetlands Ordinance (Attachment #1).
Background: Previously, due to concerns regarding the time and expense associated with requiring each request for a variance to the Wakulla County wetlands ordinance to go before the Board of County Commissioners, the Board directed the County Attorney’s Office to work with Planning staff to develop a process through which an owner of a lot of record may seek an administrative variance from the Planning Director to develop his or her property within Buffer Zone Two (the outer of the two wetlands buffers) under limited circumstances.
As directed, the County Attorney’s Office worked with staff and has developed revisions to the wetlands ordinance to authorize an administrative variance under the conditions described below.
Analysis: The proposed ordinance provides for the following amendments to the County’s wetlands ordinance:
• It adds a new definition for “Buildable Area,” which shall be that area on a lot or parcel where a Building may be located in compliance with all applicable code provisions. • It provides for administrative review and approval for certain types of variance requests to the wetlands ordinance for lots of record recorded prior to the 1995 amendments to the County’s Comprehensive Plan (which included the current two-tiered buffer for wetlands and other surface waters) where there is less than 2800 square feet of buildable area. Note: 2800
Request Board Approval to Schedule and Advertise Two Public Hearings to Consider an Ordinance Revising the Wakulla County Wetlands Ordinance November 5, 2012 Page 2
square feet of buildable area is required for newly recorded lots containing wetlands or other surface waters or buffers, in order to ensure that such properties have adequate space to build an appropriate structure without impacting the wetlands or other surface waters or buffers.
• It requires that applicants for an administrative variance first fully utilize a 20% variance to the applicable building setbacks. • If someone meets the necessary criteria and has fully utilized the 20% variance to the building setbacks, they may obtain a variance for development within Buffer Zone Two to provide up to 2800 square feet of buildable area. • It authorizes the Planning Director to require that all development take place as far as possible from a wetland or other surface water. • It clarifies that, in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, no administrative variance may be approved which would allow a installation of a septic system or septic system drainfield within the buffers or a wetland or other surface water. • It includes non-substantive amendments to the remaining portions of the Variance provisions in s. 32.009 of the County Code, and also clarifies that a mitigation plan must only be submitted if mitigation is required under the Ordinance. • Lastly, a minor amendment is made to remove the explanation of the meaning of “buildable area” previously included in s. 32.010 of the County Code of Ordinances.
Because this Ordinance could be construed as a land development regulation, it will need to be considered first by the Planning Commission and then by the Board of County Commissioners.
If approval is given the Planning Commission Public Hearing will be held on December 5, 2012 and the Public Hearing for the BOCC will be held on January 7, 2013.
Budgetary Impact: If approval is given to advertise the proposed Ordinance, an advertisement fee of approximately $90.00 will be charged to the County for the required publication in The Wakulla News.
Options: 1. Approve to Schedule and Advertise Two Public Hearings to Consider Revisions to the Wakulla County Wetlands Ordinance. 2. Do Not Approve to Schedule and Advertise Two Public Hearings to Consider Revisions to the Wakulla County Wetlands Ordinance. 3. Board Direction.
Recommendation: Option #1

ORDINANCE NO. 2012-____
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF WAKULLA COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTIONS 32.001, 32.009, AND 32.010, WAKULLA COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES, PERTAINING TO WETLANDS AND OTHER SURFACE WATERS; PROVIDING A NEW DEFINITION FOR “BUILDABLE AREA”; PROVIDING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCES WITHIN WETLAND BUFFER ZONE TWO; PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Wakulla County, Florida
(“Board”), previously adopted Wakulla County Ordinance No. 2010-16, as codified in Chapter
32 of the Wakulla County Code of Ordinances (“Code”), pertaining to development activity in and around wetlands and other surface waters; and
WHEREAS, Section 32.009 of the Code provides a process by which a property owner may obtain a variance to the Wetlands Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, newly recorded lots and parcels are required to have at least 2,800 square feet of Buildable Area and it is reasonable to allow Lots of Record to have an equivalent amount of space on which to construct buildings and accessory improvements, so long as such improvements do not encroach into Buffer Zone One; and
WHEREAS, in November of 1995, the Board adopted revisions to the Wakulla County
Comprehensive Plan which included a two-tiered Buffer for all Wetlands and other Surface
Waters; and
1
WHEREAS, the first 35-foot Buffer located immediately adjacent to a Wetland or other
Surface Water and known as Buffer Zone One must remain in its Natural Topographic and
Vegetative State, except as otherwise provided in Chapter 32 of the Code; and
WHEREAS, the second 40-foot Buffer beginning at the outer edge of and surrounding
Buffer Zone One and known as Buffer Zone Two may contain Development if a failure to allow such Development will deprive the Developer of substantially all economic and beneficial use of the property; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that Lots of Record recorded as of the November 1995 adoption of the two-tiered Buffers, should be subject to an expedited review process for variances if they do not have at least 2,800 square feet of Buildable Area; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that in order to utilize the administrative variance procedure authorized herein to obtain a variance to conduct Development activity within Buffer
Zone Two of a wetland or other surface water, a property owner or applicant for an administrative variance must fully utilize a 20% variance to all front, rear, and side property setbacks; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that amending Section 32.009 to authorize administrative variances under the circumstances and subject to the limitations provided herein will eliminate unnecessary delays in the development approval process and provide efficiencies both to County staff and property owners while still protecting the integrity of wetlands and other surface waters; and
WHEREAS, the Board determines that establishing the administrative variance process for wetland buffers as provided in this Ordinance serves a public purpose and is in the best interests of the citizens of Wakulla County, Florida.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF WAKULLA COUNTY, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS. The above recitals are hereby adopted and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 32.001, WAKULLA COUNTY CODE
OF ORDINANCES. Section 32.001, Wakulla County Code of Ordinanes, titled “Definitions,” is hereby amended to add the following definition:
“Buildable Area” means that area on a lot or parcel where a Building may be located in compliance with all applicable County codes.
(stricken words indicate deletions, underlined words indicate additions)
SECTION 3. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 32.009, WAKULLA COUNTY CODE
OF ORDINANCES. Section 32.009, Wakulla County Code of Ordinances, titled “Variances,” is hereby amended as follows:
Section 32.009. Variances.
(a) For any Lot of Record, as defined in Section 2-4(108) of the Wakulla County
Land Development Code, which was recorded in the Official Records of Wakulla County as of the November 1995 revision of the Comprehensive Plan, the Director of the Wakulla County
Planning Department (“Planning Director”) may grant an administrative variance for residential or non-residential Development within Buffer Zone Two if the Lot of Record has less than 2,800 contiguous square feet of Buildable Area, so long as a failure to allow such Development will deprive the Developer of substantially all economic and beneficial use of the property, and so long as such variance is consistent with other provisions of the Wakulla County Code of
3
Ordinances, Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code. The process for obtaining an administrative variance pursuant to this section is as follows:
(1) Applications for an administrative variance shall be filed with the Planning
Department and processed in the manner provided in Section 3-22, of the Wakulla County Land
Development Code, along with a proposed plan demonstrating that impacts to Wetlands or other
Surface Waters have been minimized to the maximum extent possible. The proposed survey or site plan shall identify the proposed improvements and all building setbacks, buffers, and wetlands or other surface waters.
(2) In reviewing and considering an application for an administrative variance requested under this Section, the Planning Director should first consider whether a 20% variance to the front, rear, and side property setbacks established for the property under Chapter 5 of the
Wakulla County Land Development Code, would provide the applicant with 2,800 contiguous square feet of Buildable Area. If a 20% variance to such setbacks would provide 2,800 contiguous square feet of Buildable Area, the Planning Director may administratively grant such variances, but may not approve any administrative variance for development within Buffer Zone
Two.
(3) If a 20% variance to the property setbacks will not provide at least 2,800 contiguous square feet of Buildable Area, the Planning Director may proceed with consideration of a variance for development within Buffer Zone Two.
(4) The Planning Director may approve a variance within Buffer Zone Two to provide up to 2,800 contiguous square feet of Buildable Area for development of residential or non-residential properties after first utilizing a 20% variance to the front, rear, and side building setbacks to the greatest extent possible.
4
(5) In addition to requiring an applicant for an administrative variance to utilize a
20% variance to the front, rear, and side property setbacks, the Planning Director may require
that applicants locate all improvements at the greatest possible distance from a wetland or other
surface water.
(6) In no event shall an administrative variance be approved which would authorize a
property owner to install a septic system or septic system drainfield within a wetland or other
surface water or buffer.
(ab)(1) The Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners may grant a variance for
the following:
(1a) The Development of residential and non-residential properties within
Buffer Zone Two if a failure to allow such Development will deprive the Developer of
substantially all economic and beneficial use of the property, and so long as such
Development is consistent with other provisions of the Wakulla County Code of
Ordinances, the Land Development Code, and the Comprehensive Plan.
(2b) New roads or utilities not otherwise authorized as an allowable or a
conditional use located within Wetlands or other Surface Waters or Buffers.
(3c) Boat Ramps which do not meet the design standards set forth in Section
32.010 of this Ordinance.
(4d) A reduction or modification of the minimum buildable area requirement
provided in Section 32.010(a).
(b2) Applications for a variance under this subsection (B) shall be filed with the
Planning Department and processed in the manner provided in Section 3-22, of the Wakulla
County Land Development Code, along with a proposed plan demonstrating that impacts to
5
Wetlands or other Surface Waters have been minimized to the maximum extent possible, and a
Mitigation plan if required under paragraph (C) of this Section.
(c) Once the Developer has demonstrated adequate minimization of unavoidable
Adverse Impacts as determined by the Planning Department, the Developer shall develop a
Mitigation plan in cooperation with the Planning Department which complies with the requirements of Section 12 of this Ordinance.
(d3) The Planning Department shall submit the application and Mitigation plan to the
Wakulla County Technical Review Committee, at which time the application and Mitigation plan shall be reviewed for comments and for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and the
Land Development Code. It shall then be forwarded by the Planning Department to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(e4) The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider the application and
Mitigation plan for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and shall make a recommendation to the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners for approval or denial of the variance and the Mitigation plan.
(f5) The Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners shall consider both the comments from the Technical Review Committee and the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to approving, approving with conditions, or denying an application for a variance and Mitigation plan.
(gc) In the event approval of an application for a variance will have Adverse Impacts on a Wetland or other Surface Water as determined by the Planning Department and/or the
Technical Review Committee, such variance shall require Mitigation. If Mitigation is required, the Developer shall develop a Mitigation plan in cooperation with the Planning Department
6
which complies with the requirements of Section 32.012 of the Wakulla County Code. For an administrative variance, the Mitigation plan will be reviewed and, if adequate, be approved by the Planning Director as part of the administrative variance process. For all other variances, the
Mitigation plan shall be submitted to the Technical Review Committee, the Planning and Zoning
Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners for review and approval as part of the application for a variance.
(stricken words indicate deletions, underlined words indicate additions)
SECTION 4. AMENDMENT OF SECTION 32.010, WAKULLA COUNTY CODE
OF ORDINANCES. Paragraph (a) of Section 32.010, Wakulla County Code of Ordinances, titled “Design Standards,” is hereby amended as follows:

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 9, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David Edwards, County Administrator Heather J. Encinosa, County Attorney
Subject: Request Board Approval to Schedule and Advertise a Public Hearing to Consider Adopting an Ordinance Amending the Membership of the Wakulla County Community Center Advisory Group
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to schedule and advertise a public hearing to consider an ordinance amending the makeup and membership of the Wakulla County Community Center Advisory Group (Attachment #1).
Background: In April of 2012, the Board approved Ordinance No. 12-7, establishing an advisory group for the Wakulla County Community Center. As originally established, the Group was made up of 11 members appointed by various community groups and with certain types of backgrounds. Since that time, the Advisory Group has had difficulty conducting meetings and taking action on business items due to an inability to establish the necessary quorum.
Analysis: The proposed ordinance would amend Section 4 of Ordinance No. 12-7 pertaining to the membership of the committee. Specifically, it would reduce the number of members from 11 to 5, and eliminate the background and experience requirements for the members. The effect of these amendments to the ordinance will make it easier to obtain a quorum (a quorum would be 3 members instead of 6 as currently required), and also ensure that the Board is able to fill any necessary vacancies if they occur.
Budgetary Impact: If approval is given to advertise the proposed Ordinance, an advertisement fee of approximately $90.00 will be charged to County for the required publication in The Wakulla News.
Options: 1. Approve to schedule and advertise a public hearing to consider an Ordinance amending

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 23, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: David E. Edwards, County Administrator Luis N. Serna, Planning and Community Development Director Melissa Corbett, Planner II
Subject: Request Board Approval of an Amendment Extending the Contract for Assessment and Management Services For State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) with Meridian Community Services Group, Inc.
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval of an amendment extending the County’s contract for assessment and management of the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) with Meridian Community Services Group, Inc. for a period of eighteen (18) months as allowable in the existing contract.
Background: In March of 2011, Meridian Community Services Group, Inc. (“Meridian”) was selected by Wakulla County to administer the County’s State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The term of this contract was from April 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012. Staff from Wakulla County and Meridian have met and discussed a desire to extend the terms of this contract.
Analysis: Meridian has worked with County staff and SHIP participants to improve the SHIP program and correct previous deficiencies. Funding for the SHIP program was not allocated by the State of Florida for the current fiscal year. However, funding still remains from previous fiscal years that will need to be expended. Therefore, staff recommends amending the contract term to include an additional eighteen (18) months as allowable in the current contract language, so that the remaining SHIP funds can be utilized to assist citizens.
Budgetar y I mpact: Funding for the SHIP program and its administration are paid from grant funds from the State of Florida Housing Trust Funds. Therefore, grant funds Wakulla County receives will be utilized to make payments to Meridian for the program.

Subject: Request Board Approval to Schedule and Advertise Public Hearings to Consider Adopting a Revised Wakulla County Floodplain Management Ordinance
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to schedule and advertise the public hearings required for consideration and approval of an ordinance revising the floodplain management and flood zone construction provisions in the Wakulla County Code (Attachment #1).
Background: Earlier this year, the State of Florida adopted updates to the Florida Building Code, including requirements for construction in flood hazard areas. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) also imposes requirements for construction in flood hazard areas upon local governments if they are participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Community Rating System (CRS). Because Wakulla County is a participant in the NFIP and CRS, it is obligated to ensure that it has a floodplain management ordinance that is consistent with rules adopted by FEMA. As its inclusion in the CRS provides residents and other property owners in Wakulla County with the ability to obtain more affordable real property insurance and flood insurance, the ability to qualify for federal grants and subsidies, the ability to obtain mortgages, and the ability for the County and its residents to receive federal disaster and mitigation assistance, along with many other benefits, it is necessary for the County to adopt an updated floodplain management ordinance.
Analysis: Summary The proposed Ordinance is based largely on the State Model Floodplain Ordinance prepared by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), the state’s NFIP coordinating entity, and it has been approved by FDEM as being consistent with FEMA’s requirements for CRS communities. In addition to the provisions taken from the model ordinance, the proposed ordinance (1) amends
Request Board Approval to Schedule and Advertise Public Hearings to Consider Adopting a Revised Wakulla County Floodplain Management Ordinance November 5, 2012 Page 2
in its entirety the County’s current floodplain management provisions, (3) includes certain higher standards recommended by FEMA and intended to address specific concerns raised by the Wakulla County Building Official, and (4) provides certain administrative and technical amendments to the Florida Building Code. It should be noted that if the Board finds it necessary to make substantive amendments to the Ordinance, such amendments would have to be reviewed for approval by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and possibly FEMA before the Ordinance may be adopted by the Board.
Amendments to Existing Code Provisions In order to be consistent with the Floodplain Management Ordinance, it is necessary for the Board to adopt revisions to existing sections of the Wakulla County Land Development Code’s Coastal Construction Zone Ordinance, as follows:
• Elimination of Section 9-12 of the Land Development Code pertaining to Structural Requirements for Major Structures in Coastal Construction Zones due to its inconsistency with the floodplain management ordinance and Florida Building Code. • Amendment of Section 9-13 of the Land Development Code to require that any mobile homes installed within a Coastal Construction Zone also conform to the Florida Building Code and the County’s Floodplain Management Ordinance. • Amendment of Section 9-14 of the Land Development Code to remove structural requirements pertaining to sewage and water systems as these are now governed by the floodplain management ordinance and the Florida Building Code and would be inconsistent. • Amendment of Section 9-15 of the Land Development Code pertaining to structural requirements for minor structures to remove the reference to Section 9-12 and require that such structures are subject to the floodplain management ordinance.
Repeal and Replacement of Existing Floodplain Management Provisions The County’s current flood ordinance currently found in Chapter 11 of the Code of Ordinances is being repealed and replaced with the new provisions included in this Revised Ordinance. Though this Ordinance was consistent with FEMA’s requirements for participation in the NFIP and Community Rating System at the time it was adopted, it is no longer in compliance. For this reason, after careful review of the state’s model ordinance, FEMA’s rules pertaining to participation in the NFIP and CRS, and previous comments from FEMA regarding the existing Ordinance, the Building Official and County Attorney’s Office determined the best approach was to adopt the state model floodplain with minor amendments.
Article I of the new ordinance adopts definitions and makes necessary legislative findings. Article II re-adopts the flood maps and flood insurance study dated June 2, 1992 (it will be necessary to adopt the new maps and study once a final determination letter has been issued in 2013) and establishes when additional data may be required or needed to determine the base flood elevations. Article III designates the County Building Official as the floodplain administrator, and sets forth his duties to
Request Board Approval to Schedule and Advertise Public Hearings to Consider Adopting a Revised Wakulla County Floodplain Management Ordinance November 5, 2012 Page 3
include: reviewing applications and issuing permits, performing necessary inspections, determining base elevations when they are not established in the FIRM, establishing procedures to implement the requirements of the ordinance, and maintaining required records, among the other duties listed in the Ordinance.
Article IV clarifies that all development located within a flood hazard area is subject to this ordinance and sets forth permitting requirements; indicates the type of data, studies, site plans, and other construction documents that must be submitted to develop property located in a flood hazard area; inspection requirements; the process for obtaining a variance or seeking an appeal of a decision made pursuant to the Ordinance; and the manner in which violations of the Ordinance are enforced. Article V includes specific requirements for different types of buildings and improvements, including those constructed or installed within subdivisions and mobile home parks. In addition, Article V includes requirements for recreational vehicles, installation of tanks, and placement of fill.
The only provisions of the previous floodplain ordinance being readopted are those pertaining to basin specific flood hazard areas. This section addresses those manmade flood hazard areas where ordinarily there would be no flooding, but where due to construction of roads, buildings, and other improvements, localized flooding may occur. This section requires that specific areas will be identified within the following subdivisions: Wakulla Gardens, Magnolia Gardens, Greiner’s Addition, Lake Ellen Terrace, Lake Ellen Proper, Lake Ellen Estates, and Wakulla River Estates. Minor revisions were made to the previous section in order to ensure that the new provisions are consistent with the other sections of the Floodplain Management Ordinance in the event a basin specific area coincides with a flood hazard area designated on the FIRM or in the FIS.
Higher Standards In order to address specific concerns raised by the Building Official in special flood hazard areas, the proposed Ordinance includes two “higher standards” recommended by the NFIP. A higher standard is a requirement that exceeds those minimum standards required for participation in the Community Rating System. Adoption of higher standards affords residents of the County with additional protection against flooding, and potentially reduced flood insurance costs. Each higher standard qualifies the County for additional “CRS Credit Points” which are used to calculate the flood insurance discount for persons owning property in Wakulla County.
The first higher standard being recommended for approval is what is known as a freeboard requirement. This requirement will require new construction (and substantially improved structures) to increase the minimum elevation of a structure located in a flood hazard area by one foot in addition to that otherwise required in the model floodplain ordinance and the Florida Building Code, effectively adding elevation to structures above the base flood elevation to provide extra protection to account for waves, debris, or lack of data in determining the base flood elevation. This standard is implemented in Section 4.02(B)(2)(b) and in Sections 7.02(B) and (C), which provide technical amendments to the Florida Building Code to implement the higher standard. This higher standard
Request Board Approval to Schedule and Advertise Public Hearings to Consider Adopting a Revised Wakulla County Floodplain Management Ordinance November 5, 2012 Page 4
may increase the number of CRS credit points by up to 100 points as determined by FEMA (because the ordinance only increases the minimum elevation by one foot; a greater elevation requirement would result in additional points). It should be noted that this requirement will not apply to buildings designated as “Category I buildings” under the Florida Building Code (agricultural facilities, certain temporary facilities, and minor storage facilities).
The second higher standard being recommended for approval by staff requires that prior to issuing permits for construction of improvements and repairs, that the costs of all improvements and repairs be considered cumulatively over a period of 5 years to determine whether those improvements and repairs constitute “substantial improvements” as defined in the ordinance. A substantial improvement is any improvement or repair estimated to cost more than 50% of the value of the structure being improved or repaired using the value of the structure at the time construction is started, or any improvement or repair required to fix substantial damage. (A building is substantially damaged if it is more than 50% damaged based on the pre-damage value). Currently in Wakulla County, the cost of permits is considered only at the time the permits are pulled, allowing people to substantially improve or repair their structures in a piecemeal fashion, thus avoiding the requirement that the structure be brought up to the requirements of the current building code and floodplain management ordinance. This standard would instead require that such work be considered cumulatively over a period of 5 years to determine whether it constitutes “substantial improvements” requiring that current codes be applied. This standard is implemented in the definition of “substantial improvement” in section Section 1.04, Section 3.04(C), and in the technical amendments to the Florida Building Code provided in Section 7.02(A) and (D). This higher standard may increase the number of CRS credit points by up to 90 points as determined by FEMA.
Amendments to the Florida Building Code In addition to the amendments to the Florida Building Code mentioned above pertaining to the recommended higher standards (and which will require post-adoption review by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation), other administrative amendments to the Florida Building Code are required in order to implement the provisions of the Floodplain Management Ordinance. These permits are included in Section 7.01 of the Ordinance and relate to the documents which may be considered in issuing permits and consideration and approval of variances within flood hazard areas. Because these amendments are necessary for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program, they are exempt from state review pursuant to s. 553.73(5), Florida Statutes.
Therefore, staff is requesting approval to schedule and advertise the public hearings to consider the Revised Wakulla County Floodplain Management Ordinance. If approval is given, the Planning Commission Public Hearing will be held on December 10, 2012 and the BOCC Public Hearing will be held on Jan. 7, 2013.
Budgetary Impact:

8 10/18/2012
(B) The Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) has identified Special Flood Hazard Areas within the boundaries of Wakulla County and such areas are subject to the periodic inundation of water which may result in the loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of businesses and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for Flood protection and relief, and impairment of the local tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare.
(C) Wakulla County was accepted for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program on January 16, 1981, and the Board desires to continue to meet the requirements of Title 44, Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 59 and 60, as is necessary for such participation.
(D) Chapter 553, Florida Statutes, was adopted by the Florida Legislature to provide a mechanism for the uniform adoption, updating, amendment, interpretation, and enforcement of a state building code, referred to as the “Florida Building Code.”
(E) Chapter 553, Florida Statutes, allows for adoption of local technical amendments to the Florida Building Code which provide for more stringent requirements than those specified in the Code.
(F) Section 553.73(5), Florida Statutes, allows for adoption of local administrative and local technical amendments to the Florida Building Code to implement the National Flood Insurance Program and its incentives.
(G) The Board is adopting a requirement to increase the minimum elevation requirement for buildings and structures in Flood Hazard Areas and, pursuant to section 553.73(5), Florida Statutes, is formatting that requirement to coordinate with the Florida Building Code.
(H) The Board, based upon a review of local conditions and as demonstrated by evidence has determined that there is a local need to strengthen the Florida Building Code above the minimum requirements for buildings and structures in Flood Hazard Areas to require accumulation of costs of improvements and repairs of buildings, based on issued Building Permits, over a five (5)-year period.
(I) The Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Wakulla County to adopt the proposed floodplain management regulations included in this Ordinance as they are coordinated with the Florida Building Code.
(J) The Board has further determined that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Wakulla County to adopt the proposed local technical and administrative amendments to the 2010 Florida Building Code and that these proposed amendments are not more stringent than is necessary to address the need identified, do not discriminate against materials, products, or construction techniques of demonstrated capabilities, are in compliance with s. 553.73(4), Florida Statutes, where applicable, and the proposed amendments are in compliance with section 553.73(5), Florida Statutes, where applicable.

Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to renew the contracts for junk removal services.
Background: After obtaining and reviewing proposals received in response to Request for Proposals 2010-08, on August 16, 2010, the Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners approved three junk removal services contracts for professional cleanup and disposal services (Attachment #1). Pursuant to these contracts and RFP 2010-08, junk removal services projects would be awarded in response to quotes obtained for the specific project when directed by the Code Enforcement Board. The contracts were approved for a 2-year period beginning on August 23, 2010 and expiring August 23, 2012, with the following vendors: . Ben Withers, Inc. . Welch Land Development . Panacea Coastal Construction
Analysis: The Junk Removal Services Contracts expired on August 23, 2012, and may be renewed or extended upon the written agreement of both the County and the Contractor. This agenda item requests that the Board renew the Junk Removal Services Contracts with two of the three vendors for an additional two (2) years. Before expiration of the renewal term, it is anticipated that a new Request for Proposals would be issued.
It is recommended that contracts be renewed with Ben Withers, Inc. and Welch Land Development. Staff does not recommend renewal of the contract with Panacea Coastal Construction on the basis
Request Board Approval to Renew the Contracts for Junk Removal Services November 5, 2012 Page 2
that this firm has been inactive with the Department of State since September 23, 2011, and because it failed to submit a quote for previous work, as required under the original Junk Removal Services Contract.
Budgetary Impact: There is no budgetary impact for this agenda request.
Options: 1. Approve to renew the contracts for the Junk Removal Services. 2. Do not approve to renew the contracts for the Junk Removal Services. 3. Board Direction.

Subject: Request Board Approval of Task Order No. 22 for the Permit- Required Compliance and Evaluation Monitoring at the Lower Bridge Landfill
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval of Task Order No. 22 to Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc. for the permit-required compliance and evaluation groundwater, leachate, surface water, and landfill gas monitoring at the Lower Bridge Landfill.
Background: The Lower Bridge Landfill has two waste areas—the closed Class I landfill and the Class III Landfill. The landfills are regulated under Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Permit #0013134, which outlines a plan for the compliance monitoring for the site groundwater, surface water, leachate, and landfill gas. In addition to the compliance monitoring, FDEP correspondence dated October 21, 2008 requires evaluation monitoring in response to elevated concentrations of Arsenic, Iron, and Ammonia Nitrogen in site groundwater wells.
The permit is in the renewal process. The new permit will reduce the required compliance monitoring, including ceasing leachate monitoring and changing the landfill gas sampling frequency from quarterly to annually.
Analysis: The County is required by FDEP to complete the tasks outlined within the Scope of Services (Attachment #1). Upon approval of Task Order No.22, Jones Edmunds will be conducting two semiannual groundwater and one annual landfill gas monitoring events, the 2013 annual landfill gas monitoring event, and four quarterly groundwater evaluation monitoring events.
The duration of this project will be from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013. Jones Edmunds has been conducting the compliance monitoring at the Lower Bridge Landfill since 1996 and has the expertise to continue this work. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of this task order in the amount of $60,277.00.

Background: The Medart Landfill is regulated under the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Long-Term Care Plan approved June 16, 1991 and the FDEP Natural Attenuation Monitoring-Only Plan Approval Order dated April 26, 2001. The FDEP Long-Term Care Plan outlines the maintenance and monitoring of the landfill over the 30-year post-closure period. The FDEP Natural Attenuation Monitoring-Only Plan was issued in response to the 2000 Contamination Assessment Report which showed elevated concentrations of Arsenic, Iron, Ammonia-Nitrogen, Benzene, and Vinyl Chloride in site groundwater wells. These two plans outline the FDEP-required monitoring of the site groundwater and landfill gas.
The FDEP Natural Attenuation Monitoring-Only Plan requires submitting an annual report. The annual report summarizes and interprets the groundwater analytical data collected over the past year.
The FDEP Long-Term Care Plan requires submitting a Biennial Groundwater Technical Report that summarizes and interprets the groundwater analytical and flow data collected from the date the permit is issued through the most recent semiannual monitoring event.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 30, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: Lynn Artz, County Commissioner, District 5
Subject: Preserving Roadside Wildflowers in Wakulla County
Statement of Issue: This agenda item provides an update to the Board and requests Board approval to refine and expand Wakulla County’s roadside wildflower preservation efforts.
Background/Description In the spring of 2009, the citizens of Wakulla County were dismayed to see many of the county’s roadside wildflowers mowed down while in full bloom. A flurry of angry emails reached the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Commissioner Lynn Artz. This led to the establishment of a Wildflower Preservation Pilot Project in partnership with FDOT along approximately 9 miles of the Coastal Hwy (98) between Crawfordville Highway (319) and Woodville Highway (363). The Wakulla County Commission endorsed this project on July 21, 2009.
FDOT’s usual mowing practice along state roads is to mow the entire right-of-way (ROW) every two months (6 times per year). To preserve the roadside wildflowers along 98, FDOT initially modified their mowing practice as follows: only a 6’ft safety strip adjacent to the road would be mowed every two months. The entire ROW would be mowed only twice a year during the winter months (between November and February). This reduced mowing schedule would allow wildflowers in most of the ROW to grow, bloom, and disperse seeds, thereby populating the ROW with an increasing number of wildflowers over time.
In a show of support, the County’s Public Works contractor (ESG) elected to experiment with similar mowing practices along county-maintained roads. By making only a single pass along the roadside (instead of mowing the entire ROW), ESG discovered that they could complete their mowing routes more quickly and better maintain the highly visible portions of ROW adjacent to county roads. This resulted in a reduced number of complaints and fewer requests for ESG to mow while also allowing wildflowers in the roadside swales and back slopes to flourish.
Wakulla County’s initiatives to preserve roadside wildflowers soon inspired neighboring counties
Agenda Request: Preserving Roadside Wildflowers in Wakulla County November 5, 2012 Page 2 such as Gadsden and Leon to pass resolutions and work with FDOT to reduce the mowing frequency along state-maintained roads in their counties. The number of counties that are working with FDOT to preserve roadside wildflowers continues to grow. Credit is given to Wakulla County for initiating this trend. Unfortunately, Wakulla County’s wildflower pilot project along 98 has struggled to achieve its aspirations. The ROW has been dug up to install water re-use lines and sewer lines. Competition has been fierce between wildflowers and less desirable plants such as ragweed and dog fennel. Some citizens prefer the look of mowed lawn to the more natural meadow or prairie that emerges with reduced mowing.
In an effort to increase the wildflower blooms along 98, reduce competition from taller and weedy plants, and reduce complaints, the following actions have been taken: 1) March 15, 2011 -- The width of the safety strip (that is mowed every 2 months) was increased from 6’ to 12’. 2) Summer and Fall 2011 & 2012 – Selective weeding by hand was carried out at various times by the Iris Garden Club, the Sarracenia Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society (FNPS), WHS JROTC students, and SEEK environmental conference participants. 3) June of 2011 – Wakulla County was awarded a LaFlorida grant from the Florida Wildflower Foundation and received $500 worth of Florida-ecotype wildflower seeds. Donations from ESG, the Iris Garden Club, Just Fruits & Exotics, and Commissioner Artz provided more than $2,000 worth of additional seeds. In October, community volunteers sowed these seeds along the north side of 98 between Crawfordville and Spring Creek highways. Volunteers included members of the Iris Garden Club, the Sarracenia Chapter, Big Bend Scenic Byway CME, WHS JROTC students, and Public Works (ESG) employees.
On May 11, 2012, FDOT District III’s Midway Operations Center received the Ella P. Woods Paths of Sunshine Award from the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs for adopting roadside mowing practices to preserve wildflowers. As part of the award, FDOT Midway received $750 of Florida- ecotype wildflower seeds. They have elected to sow the seeds this fall along two sections of the 98 ROW in Wakulla County.
In recent months, the Big Bend Scenic Byway Corridor Management Entity and members of the Panhandle Wildflower Alliance have approached Commissioner Artz about expanding wildflower preservation efforts to other state-maintained roadsides within Wakulla County.
Most recently, citizens of western Wakulla and eastern Franklin counties were distressed to see FDOT mowers cutting down fall wildflowers at peak bloom and as migrating monarchs were arriving. Another flurry of emails reached FDOT and Commissioner Artz. In response, FDOT temporarily halted mowing in both counties in September, and then several weeks later began mowing only a 6’ safety strip (rather than the entire ROW).
Agenda Request: Preserving Roadside Wildflowers in Wakulla County November 5, 2012 Page 3
Analysis: Wakulla County’s noble efforts to preserve roadside wildflowers have garnered considerable attention within this region and around the state and are hailed as a model for others to emulate. Efforts to preserve roadside wildflowers in Wakulla County should continue. Along 98, continued experimentation with mowing schedules, selective weeding, and perhaps additional seeding should proceed. Testing the effects of a midsummer mowing of the full ROW during June or July of 2013 is a top priority. ESG is willing to function as the lead in working with FDOT to further refine mowing schedules as needed and will continue to work with interested community groups.
Further, in keeping with the master plan for the Big Bend Scenic Byway, Wakulla County should expand its roadside wildflower preservation project to include all non-urbanized portions of the Big Bend Scenic Byway located within Wakulla County. This expansion is supported by the Big Bend Scenic Byway CME, the Iris Garden Club, the Sarracenia Chapter, Keep Wakulla County Beautiful, and members of the Panhandle Wildflower Alliance. ESG is willing to work with FDOT, the Big Bend Scenic Byway CME, and other community groups to specify the additional roadsides and schedule reduced mowing of these roadside to begin after February of 2013.
Budget Impact: None.
Options: 1. Direct ESG to work with FDOT to continue to refine the mowing schedule for the Wildflower Preservation Project along 98 (such as testing a midsummer mowing in 2013). 2. Direct ESG to work with FDOT to apply a reduced mowing schedule to preserve roadside wildflowers along the non-urbanized portions of the Big Bend Scenic Byway within Wakulla County. 3. Take no new actions with regard to roadside wildflower preservation. 4. Board direction.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: July 21, 2009
Date Submitted: July 2, 2009
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: Lynn Artz, County Commissioner, District 5
Subject: Request Board Approval of Pilot Project to Preserve Roadside Wildflowers
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval of a Pilot Project with the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) to preserve native wildflowers alongside Coastal Highway (98) from Woodville Highway to Crawfordville Highway.
Background/Description: The Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) maintains the roadsides along state roads in Wakulla County including Crawfordville Hwy (319) and Coastal Hwy (98). Current DOT roadside maintenance practices are detrimental to the survival of native wildflower populations. Annual plant species must sprout from seed, grow, flower, and produce seed within one growing season in order for progeny to appear in future years. Frequent mowing of the right-of-way prevents wildflowers from producing and dispersing the seeds needed to maintain local populations year after year.
In other Florida counties (e.g., Volusia), DOT has adopted different roadside maintenance practices (e.g., less frequent, carefully timed mowing) that allow local wildflower populations to flourish. This has many benefits including roadside beautification, tourism, and food support for pollinators such as bees which benefits local agriculture. Less frequent mowing also reduces gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
DOT is willing to apply alternate maintenance practices along a designated section of DOT right-of – way as a community demonstration project. Coastal Hwy (98) would be ideal for this pilot. Many local organizations, businesses, and residents support this initiative. If successful, the goal would be to expand wildflower-friendly roadside maintenance to other state and county roads in our county.
Analysis: The proposed pilot project is feasible, beneficial, and has considerable community support.

Subject: Wildflower Pilot Project Update
Statement of Issue: This agenda item provides background information and an update to the Board regarding the County’s Wildflower Pilot Project with the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT).
Background/Description In 2009, the Wakulla County Commission established a Wildflower Pilot Project with the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT). The area designated for wildflower preservation is located within the DOT right-of-way (ROW) along Coastal Highway (98) between Crawfordville and Woodville Highways.
This project was initiated after DOT mowed the right-of way along state roads 319 and 98 while spring wildflowers were in peak bloom. County Commissioners and the DOT Office in Midway received numerous complaints from Wakulla County residents in response. Meetings were held with citizen advocates for roadside wildflowers, wildflower experts, county staff, and representatives from DOT. A roadside wildflower preservation project was proposed.
Coastal Highway (98) between Crawfordville and Woodville Highways was selected because this stretch of state road is still relatively rural. It is also part of the Big Bend Scenic Byway which includes the preservation of roadside wildflowers in its master plan. Also, this ROW reportedly includes a wildflower for which only 5 other populations in the State are known to exist.
Numerous citizens, organizations, and businesses supported the proposed project, including Keep Wakulla County Beautiful, the Iris Garden Club, the Sarracenia Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society, Just Fruits and Exotics Nursery, the Tourist Development Council, and the Big Bend Scenic Byway CME. Citizens even went door-to-door along 98 building support for the project and gathering signatures.
Commissioner Artz brought the attached agenda item to the Board on July 2, 2009. Jeff Castor, a landscape architect with DOT, made a presentation describing the many benefits of roadside
Agenda Request: (Insert Subject of Agenda) (Date of Meeting) Page 2
wildflowers. Others spoke in support. The Wildflower Pilot Project on 98 was approved.
Commissioner Artz (accompanied by wildflower experts) then met with DOT to set a mowing schedule to preserve roadside wildflowers in the project area. The usual practice is to mow the entire ROW every 2 months (6 times per year), which does not allow enough time for wildflowers to grow, flower, and produce seed. The following mowing schedule was agreed upon for the pilot project area . . . • The entire width of the ROW would be mowed 2X between November and February (to remove woody vegetation). • Between March and October, only a 6 ft 'wide "safety strip" immediately adjacent to the road would be mowed every 2 months (4X).
Wakulla County Public Works elected to experiment with a similar mowing schedule along county roads (having also received citizen complaints about mowing wildflowers). By mowing the full width of the ROW less frequently, Public Works found that that they could mow the more visible section adjacent to the road more often. This has reduced complaints about county roadsides needing mowing. It has also garnered praise for preserving wildflowers.
Wakulla County’s Wildflower Project has received considerable attention in local media and around the State. Our project quickly inspired similar roadside wildflower preservation projects in Gadsden and Leon Counties and continues to be recommended to other counties as a model.
Wakulla County hopes to benefit from the wildflower tourism that will be widely promoted in 2013, the 500th anniversary of Ponce de Leon’s arrival in Florida – and his naming our state for the abundant flowers he found.
Analysis: The new mowing schedule for the Wildflower Pilot Project on 98 went into effect late in the summer of 2009. Brandy Cowley-Gilbert of Just Fruits and Exotics Nursery recently reported “I'm beginning to see the return of many of the spring bloomers that were destroyed when the state did that spring mow a couple of years ago.” Still the restoration of native wildflower populations is a gradual process when relying on seed banks that exist in the soil and progressively larger generations of seed- producing plants.
Unfortunately, a portion of the wildflower project area was disturbed when water reuse lines were run east to the Wildwood Golf Course. An even larger portion will be disturbed when sewer lines are run west from Spring Creek Highway to Wildwood (or the High School). It will take even longer for native wildflowers to recover in these disturbed areas.
Unexpectedly, concerns about the Wildflower Pilot Project were raised during recent meetings of
Agenda Request: (Insert Subject of Agenda) (Date of Meeting) Page 3
the Community Traffic Safety Team (CTST). Commissioner Artz attended the February 15th meeting of the CTST to better understand the reported safety (and aesthetic) concerns – and returned to the March 15th meeting to discuss possible remedies to these concerns (after consulting with wildflower experts and citizen advocates). See attached letter. A mutual agreement was reached to expand the safety strip adjacent to the road (that is mowed 6X per year) from 6 ft to 12 ft, then to re-evaluate after a year.
Commissioner Artz also has asked the Sarracenia Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society to consider a) conducting a wildflower survey to identify specific sections of the project area to preserve versus mow, b) seeding the disturbed areas next fall, and c) periodically collecting roadside trash within the project area. Selective hand-weeding and a midsummer mowing of the entire ROW are other possibilities for future consideration if needed.
Budgetary Impact: None.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Lynn Artz, 850-320-2158; [email protected]
FDOT, Panhandle Wildflower Alliance work together for Florida wildflowers
In response to concerns over the mowing of blooming wildflowers on roadsides in Gulf, Wakulla and Franklin counties, the Florida Department of Transportation has altered its mowing regime to allow native flowers to continue to flourish.
Mowing was halted in early September at the request of Florida Wildflower Alliance members, who advised FDOT that flowers were in peak bloom. Maintenance is now resuming, with only narrow safety strips being mowed along most roads – a practice that will let flowers elsewhere in the right-of-way set seed for their next spectacular bloom.
“We support FDOT’s efforts to make roadsides safe by mowing these narrow strips on highway shoulders and providing good sightlines,” said Lynn Artz, Wakulla County Commissioner. “It is up to all of us to work with our friends at FDOT and in county maintenance units to help them understand how modifying their mowing practices can help to preserve wildflowers.”
Florida’s native flowers are a valuable regional commodity for many reasons. They provide nectar to butterflies, including tens of thousands of Monarch butterflies that migrate annually to the region. Wildflowers also support crop pollinators that put food on our tables; curb water use in landscapes; beautify communities and roadsides; reduce water, noise and air pollution; provide wildlife habitat, and maintain a healthy environment for us all. They contribute to the region’s economy by drawing visitors and residents who want to enjoy their beauty.

The Panhandle Wildflower Alliance is a loosely structured group focused on education and conservation efforts that increase awareness of wildflowers and their vital nature to ecosystems as well as the region’s financial health.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 30, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: Lynn Artz, County Commissioner, District 5
Subject: Request Board Approval to Apply for the NEA “Our Town” Grant
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to apply for a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) “Our Town” Grant.
Background/Description In March of 2011, Wakulla County, in partnership with the Wakulla County Historical Society and the Chamber of Commerce, submitted a letter of interest to the NEA Our Town grant program. Funding in the amount of $50,000 was sought to design an attractive cultural and historic town center with town square in the area where the two County Courthouses are located. Unfortunately, we were not invited to submit a full application.
NEA is again inviting applications for creative place-making projects that can contribute to the livability of communities and place the arts at their core. Funding for 1-2 year projects may be requested in amounts from $25,000 to $200,000. Detailed information about NEA’s 2013 Our Town grant program is available online at: http://arts.gov/grants/apply/OurTown/index.html
This item proposes that Wakulla County, in partnership with the Historical Society, Healing Arts of Wakulla County (HAWC), and the Chamber of Commerce, again seek funding to design a cultural and historic town center and town square in Crawfordville. We propose to request $50,000 to contract with architects and landscape architects to create conceptual designs and construction documents for an attractive, walkable public space in the area where the old County Courthouse, the Wakulla County Historical Museum (the former jail), and the current County Courthouse are located.
Wakulla County’s application must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, the federal government’s online application system. The complete application is due on January 14, 2013, however, submission by January 4, 2013 is highly recommended.
Analysis:
Agenda Request: NEA “Our Town” Grant November 5, 2012 Page 2
The proposed project would advance efforts already underway to implement the Town Plan for Crawfordville. If funded, this project would develop design plans for the southern of two proposed town centers within the town plan.
This is a very competitive grant program and the National Association of Counties recently publicized this opportunity to all of their member counties. However, rural counties were specifically urged to apply. Of 80 grants awarded in 2012, 41 went to communities with populations of less than 50,000 and 5 went to communities with less than 1,000 residents.
To improve our prospects for funding, Jon Sewell with Kimley Horn has recommended that at least a portion of the 1:1 match be in cash. The Wakulla Historical Society previously committed to providing a portion of the $5,000 to $10,000 that would give our proposal an edge. Ideally, Wakulla County and the Chamber of Commerce will contribute match monies as well. The remainder of the match will be met through staff time and volunteer hours contributed by members of the Historical Society.
Budget Impact: A cash match is not required, however, including some cash towards the match is highly recommended. A voluntary match contribution at the discretion of the County Administrator is requested for up to $5,000 as county finances allow. These monies could come from either general revenue or reserves.
Options: 1. Approve re-applying for an NEA“Our Town” Grant. 2. Direct staff to to file the electronic application no later than January 4, 2013 (and to assist the grant partners with grant preparation as needed). 3. Direct the County Administrator to approve a voluntary match contribution of up to $5,000 as county finances permit (with additional cash and in-kind match contributions to provided by other partners). 4. Do not approve re-applying for an NEA“Our Town” Grant. 5. Board direction.
Recommendation: Options #1, #2, and #3.

Grant Program Description
RELATED MATERIALS Art works to improve the lives of America's citizens in many ways. Communities across our nation are leveraging the arts and engaging design to make their Director's Welcome (video) communities more livable with enhanced quality of life, increased creative activity, a distinct sense of place, and vibrant local economies that together capitalize on their existing assets. The NEA defines these efforts as the process of Creative Our Town Communities Placemaking: Upcoming Our Town Webinars "In creative placemaking, partners from public, private, nonprofit, and community sectors strategically shape the physical and social Creative Placemaking (pdf) character of a neighborhood, town, tribe, city, or region around arts and cultural activities. Creative placemaking animates public 2011 & 2012 grants (by state) and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings 2011 & 2012 grants (by type) diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired."
Ann Markusen, Markusen Economic Research Services Anne Gadwa Nicodemus, Metris Arts Consulting From Creative Placemaking
Through Our Town, subject to the availability of funding, the National Endowment for the Arts will provide a limited number of grants, ranging from $25,000 to $200,000, for creative placemaking projects that contribute toward the livability of communities and help transform them into lively, beautiful, and sustainable places with the arts at their core. Our Town will invest in creative and innovative projects in which communities, together with their arts and design organizations and artists, seek to:
• Improve their quality of life. • Encourage greater creative activity. • Foster stronger community identity and a sense of place. • Revitalize economic development.
Through Our Town projects, the NEA intends to achieve the following outcome: Livability: American communities are strengthened through the arts. See "Intended NEA Outcome" for more details.
Partnerships
A key to the success of creative placemaking is involving the arts in partnership with committed governmental and private sector leadership. All Our Town applications must reflect a partnership that will provide leadership for the project. These partnerships must involve two primary partners: a nonprofit organization and a local government entity. One of the two primary partners must be a cultural (arts or design) organization.
Additional partners are encouraged and may include an appropriate variety of entities such as state level government agencies, foundations, arts organizations and artists, nonprofit organizations, design professionals and design centers, educational institutions, real estate developers, business leaders, and community organizations, as well as public and governmental entities.
You may find it helpful to contact your local arts agency as you begin the process within your community.
Projects
The Arts Endowment plans to support a variety of diverse projects across the country in urban and rural communities of all sizes. Please review the list of grants on our website to see the types of projects that have been funded recently through Our Town and the related Mayors' Institute on City Design 25th Anniversary Initiative.
Our Town projects should represent the distinct character and quality of their communities and must reflect the following principles:
• A systemic approach to civic development and a persuasive vision for enhanced community livability. • Clearly defined civic development goals and objectives that recognize and enhance the role that the arts and design play at the center of community life. • An action plan aligned with the project vision and civic development goals. • A funding plan that is appropriate, feasible, indicates strong and wide community support, and includes a well-conceived strategy for maintaining the work of the project. • Artistic excellence of the design and/or arts organizations, designers, or artists involved with the project.
Projects may include arts engagement, cultural planning, and design activities such as:
Arts Engagement Arts engagement projects support artistically excellent artistic production or practice as the focus of creative placemaking work.
• Innovative programming that fosters interaction among community members, arts organizations, and artists, or activates existing cultural and community assets. • Festivals and performances in spaces not normally used for such purposes. • Public art that improves public spaces and strategically reflects or shapes the physical and social character of a community.
Cultural Planning Cultural planning projects support the development of artistically excellent local support systems necessary for creative placemaking to succeed.
• Creative asset mapping. • Cultural district planning. • The development of master plans or community-wide strategies for public art. • Support for creative entrepreneurship. • Creative industry cluster/hub development.
Design Design projects that demonstrate artistic excellence while supporting the development of environments where creative placemaking takes place, or where the identity of place is created or reinforced.
• Design of rehearsal, studio, or live/work spaces for artists. • Design of cultural spaces new or adaptive reuse. • Design of public spaces, e.g., parks, plazas, landscapes, neighborhoods, districts, infrastructure, bridges, and artist-produced elements of streetscapes, • Community engagement activities including design charrettes, design competitions, and community design workshops.
We understand that creative placemaking projects are often multi-year, large-scale initiatives. Please specify in your application which phase or phases of your project are included in your request for NEA funding. All phases of a project -- except for construction, purchase, or renovation of facilities as noted below -- are eligible for support. All costs included in your Project Budget must be expended within your period of support.
If relevant to your project, you will be required to provide information in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and/or the National Historic Preservation Act.
Funding under Our Town is not available for:
• Projects that do not involve the required partnership that will provide leadership for the project. Partnerships must involve at least two primary partners: a nonprofit organization and a local government entity. One of the two primary partners must be a cultural (arts or design) organization. • Activities that are not tied directly to long-term civic development goals. • Projects where the arts, design, or cultural activity are not core to the project's plan. • Capacity building initiatives for artists that are not integral to a broader civic development strategy. • Construction, purchase, or renovation of facilities. (Design fees, community planning, and installation of public art are eligible; however, no Arts Endowment or matching funds may be directed to the costs of physical construction or renovation or toward the purchase costs of facilities or land.) • Costs (and their match) to bring a project into compliance with federal grant requirements. This includes environmental or historical assessments or reviews. • Subgranting or regranting, except for local arts agencies that are designated to operate on behalf of their local governments or are operating units of city or county government. (See more information on subgranting.) Subgranting activity by designated local arts agencies must be directly relevant to the Our Town project activities. • Financial awards to winners of competitions. • Fund raising or financing activities.
Note: The Grants for Arts Projects guidelines provide additional information on what we do not fund.
Intended Outcome
Through Our Town projects, the Arts Endowment intends to achieve the following outcome from our strategic plan: Livability: American communities are strengthened through the arts.
The anticipated long-term results for Livability projects are measurable community benefits, such as growth in overall levels of social and civic engagement; arts- or design-focused changes in policies, laws, and/or regulations; job and/or revenue growth for the community; or changes in in-and-out migration patterns. You will be asked to address the anticipated results in your application. If you receive a grant, you will be asked to provide evidence of those results at the end of your project. Given the nature of Livability projects, benefits are likely to emerge over time and may not be fully measureable during the period of a grant. You will need to provide evidence of progress toward achieving improved livability as appropriate to the project. Before applying, please review the reporting requirements for Livability. We recognize that some projects involve risk, and we want to hear about both your successes and failures. Failures can provide valuable learning experiences, and reporting them will have no effect on your ability to receive NEA funds in the future.
Beyond the reporting requirements for all grantees, selected Our Town grantees may be asked to assist in the collection of additional information that can help the NEA determine the degree to which agency objectives were achieved. For example, Our Town grantees may be asked to participate in surveys or interviews, and/or may be asked to assist in publicizing and promoting these data collection efforts. You may be contacted to provide evidence of project accomplishments including, but not limited to, work samples, community action plans, cultural asset studies, programs, reviews, relevant news clippings, and playbills. Please remember that you are required to maintain project documentation for three years following submission of your final report.
We may publish grantees' reports and products on our website. Please note that all federal grantmaking agencies retain a royalty-free right to use all or a portion of grantees' reports and products for federal purposes.
Deadline Date
You are required to submit your application electronically through Grants.gov, the federal government's online application system. The Grants.gov system must receive your validated and accepted application no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 14, 2013. We strongly recommend that you submit at least 10 days in advance of the deadline to give yourself ample time to resolve any problems that you might encounter. We will not accept late applications.
The Grants.gov Contact Center is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 30, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: Lynn Artz, County Commissioner, District 5
Subject: Continuing Hazardous Waste Days (Amnesty Days)
Statement of Issue: This agenda item requests Board approval to direct staff to evaluate options and costs, to develop a plan of action, and to arrange financing to continue to offer Hazardous Waste Days (Amnesty Days) at least twice a year in Wakulla County.
Background/Description In the past, because they have facilities for storing hazardous waste, Jefferson County has received grant funds from DEP to serve as a host county and assist with the conduct of Hazardous Waste Days (Amnesty Days) in several other counties including Wakulla County. Assisted in this way, Keep Wakulla County Beautiful (KWCB) and Wakulla County’s Public Works Contractor (ESG) have successfully collaborated on holding a Hazardous Waste Day in Wakulla County every spring and fall for many years. Recent changes in the state’s contract with Jefferson County, however, have made continued collaboration with Jefferson County cost-prohibitive. As a result, no Hazardous Waste Day will be held in our County this fall – and no plan or funding exists to conduct future Hazardous Waste Days in Wakulla County.
Analysis: It is important to continue to offer Hazardous Waste Days to the citizens of Wakulla County. A plan for continuing to conduct Hazardous Waste Days needs to be developed.
The full range of options should be explored and costs compared – collaborating with Leon County in some way, conducting our own Hazardous Waste Days (if collections can be transported and storage of hazardous waste avoided), or continuing to partner with Jefferson County at the next opportunity (FY 2013-2014).
Unless one of the above options can be pursued for little or no cost, financing also needs to be secured for the preferred plan of action. There are simply no uncommitted funds in our Solid Waste
Agenda Request: Continuing Hazardous Waste Days (Amnesty Days) November 5, 2012 Page 2
Enterprise Fund – and hazardous waste collection and removal is not part of our contract with Waste Pro.
One possibility is grant funding. Wakulla County may be able to apply for funding from DEP to cover the costs associated with conducting its own Hazardous Waste Days. If conducting our own Amnesty Days is the preferred option, Wakulla County should apply (or assist KWCB in applying) for DEP grant funds (available beginning in FY 2013-2014) to finance their conduct. In the interim, if county finances permit, Wakulla County should consider financing one or two Hazardous Waste Days in Wakulla County until grant funding can be secured.
Budget Impact: Unknown. Once a plan has been developed, the cost can be estimated and funding options identified.
Options: 1. Direct county staff and contractors to collaborate with Keep Wakulla County Beautiful to evaluate options and costs, develop a plan of action, and arrange financing to continue to conduct Hazardous Waste Days at least twice a year in Wakulla County. 2. If conducting our own Hazardous Waste Days is the preferred option, direct staff to apply for (or assist KWCB in applying for) DEP grant funds to finance their conduct. 3. Direct the County Administrator – at his discretion if county finances permit -- to provide interim funding for one or two Hazardous Waste Days during FY 2012-2013 until grant funding from DEP can be obtained. 4. Do not direct County staff to take any action with regard to Hazardous Waste Days. 5. Board direction.
Recommendation: Options #1, #2, and #3.

In an effort to raise funds for Operation Santa and food pantries, raffle tickets will be sold for this tractor. The tickets will be available for $5 each.

Sylvia Hubbard is organizing the event this year. If you are interested in assisting the event, please contact Sylvia. The vigil is held to remember those lost to and those suffering from substance abuse. • Madeleine Carr has graciously agreed to re-write the Hunger Grant. Bruce talked about the need being great in the community for assistance in providing food, shelter, etc. Many of the people in need are leery of receiving or asking for help for a multitude of reasons. • Empty Bowls Event – To be held November 3 in Hudson Park from 11-3. Cost is $15/ticket, this includes a hand-painted bowl and soup. Haydee Jackley is chairing the event. She hopes to meet next week with her committee to work out how to put the event together. You can go to emptybowls.com for additional information, this is an international endeavor. Haydee knows she will need help putting out flyers in the community, sending emails, reaching out to groups of people to paint bowls, clean-up and set the day of the event, silent auction and soup/food supplies. The suggestion was made to make a Facebook event to invite people and spread the word. Lynn Artz offered time at the October 15 BOCC meeting for a presentation to be made. Beth O’Donnell offered to put Haydee in touch with the new Coalition of Arts person when they are hired. • Operation Santa – volunteers are actively being sought to help with this endeavor. It was a huge undertaking last year and expected to be just as big this year, if not larger. • The WCCY website has been updated, everyone is encouraged to take a look at it. www.wakullacoalition.org • Back to School Outreach Event – To be held Saturday, August 4 from 11-3 at Hudson Park. Everything will be free during the event…school supplies, backpacks, food, kid zone. Entertainment will include a DJ and a “Do’s and Don’ts” Fashion Show for school. Prior to the event in Hudson Park, the Crawfordville United Methodist Church is hosting a back to school event that will include free physicals. • Juvenile Justice Council – Additional members of the Coalition are needed to be more involved in the Council’s efforts. A sign-up sheet was sent around for those interested. • Hunger Team – Haydee Jackley and Lynn Artz gave overview of the meeting. Difficulties that families run into in regards to obtaining assistance was discussed. Several sub-committees were formed out of the meeting. Topics included Operation Santa, feeding hungry children, homelessness and food pantry needs. Antonio Johnson asked if food pantries in our area utilize Farm Share. He offered to provide contact information for that organization. The Department of Agriculture is involved in the Hunger Team meetings. Herb Donaldson talked about Palaver Tree utilizing the thank you letters from last year’s Operation Santa at an event to shed light on the issue in our community. He is also interested in doing PSA’s for hunger/homelessness/storm victims. • BOCC – Lynn Artz reminded the Coalition that the deadline for applying for the Solid Waste & Fire Services Hardship Assistance has been extended to August 15. The application must be completed and filed with the County Administrator’s office by this date. Commissioner Artz also gave a Community Center update. She discussed concerns about the community center. The architectural drawings and bidding should have been sent out and has not yet been done. There is opposition building against the renovation plans and the YMCA’s needs. She talked about it being helpful to have citizens voicing support. The advisory committee was formed to provide input and build community support. No staff was participating in the advisory committee meetings, so there was misinformation at those meetings. Now there will be a staff person in attendance that will be able to answer questions accurately. The next advisory committee meeting is scheduled for August 14 at 4:00 in the BOCC Administration office. It would be good if people that are in support of the community center, support youth and youth programs could attend. Those around the table offered support and suggestions.
Rick Jackley moved the meeting be adjourned.
Wakulla County Coalition for Youth October 3, 2012 Meeting TCC Wakulla Center, Centennial Bank North 12:30 – 2:30 p.m.
Attendance: Alma Quinn, Workforce Jimmie Doyle, NAMI Angie Gardner, WCSO Jocelyn Hayes, Girl Scouts Beth O’Donnell, WCS Judy Hampton, Lions Bruce Ashley, WCSO, Pres. Kathy Asbell, Refuge House Charlean Lanier, Harvest Fellows Ken Franklin, YMCA Charlene Hudson, Disc Village Lt. James Gatchell, FLNG Deborah Shaw, Court Admin Lynda Thomas, Girl Scouts Derek Sims, CACAA Lynn Artz, Commissioner/HCTF Don Wilson, DJJ JPO Mark Wallheiser, Community Gail Campbell, WCCY Mary Ballard, Catholic Char Gayle Myers, Disc Village Sarah Morgan, FYL Director Grace Keith, WCHD Sherri Kraeft, WC 4-H Haydee Jackley, HAWC/Ribits Stacy Harvey, BB/BS Jennifer Jenson, News Sylvia Hubbard, MAACA
• Meeting called to order by President Bruce Ashley • Bruce Ashley thanked TCC Wakulla Center for allowing WCCY to return to TCC for monthly meetings. Until further notice, all WCCY and JJC meetings will take place at the new location on the north end of the Centennial Bank Building. Bruce also noted that TCC was having a Town Hall meeting on Wed OCT 10 as a community forum to guide TCC’s program planning into the future. Dr. Jim Murdaugh, TCC President, is scheduled to be at the Town Hall meeting. • Approval of September meeting minutes – Sherri Kraeft motioned to approve, Haydee Jackley 2nd, all approved • Bruce noted several new faces around the table and invited everyone to introduce themselves before getting to the agenda. Welcome those new to the meeting; Mark Wallheiser, Angie Gardner of the WCSO assigned to JJ Division of WCSO, Deborah Shaw of Court Administration replacing Antonio Johnson, and Sarah Ballard who will lead Fearless Youth in programs and projects they define. • SCHOOL DISTRICT – Beth O’Donnell reported availability of free tutoring in Medart, Crawfordville and Shadeville Elementary schools or COAST Charter through Title I funding, but parents must provide transportation. Beth also shared the hot off the press Superintendent’s Report which includes reports from every school, the number of students, and array of programs they provide. There are over 300 students participating in AVID – Advancement via Individual Determination. She also mentioned a Tallahassee Democrat piece “Rethinking what it takes to succeed in school” which supports basic tenets of the AVID program. A copy of article is attached, and Beth was proud to note that 21% of those AVID youth who attend college, finish college. • WCSO – Lt. Billy Jones is Chair of the Juvenile Justice Council and supervisor over WCSO youth- focused initiatives. A new law, effective October 1, 2012, requires DCF to maintain a record of all calls that come into the Abuse Hotline for caregiver and non-caregiver abuse allegations and report ALL allegations to the appropriate sheriff’s office of jurisdiction. This mandates reporting by professionals in fields of healthcare, educators, social workers, day care workers, law enforcement officers or judges. Bruce reported on the latest synthetic drug that simulates LSD, called 2CE. These substances generally flow from California East. The point in sharing this news is that when one drug is banned or scheduled, another one pops up. Enforcement stays informed. Another new law takes effect on October 1, 2012. Titled the “911 Good Samaritan Act” it encourages people to call for medical assistance if they witness an individual experiencing a drug-related overdoes. Most importantly, it allows them to do so without fear of being “charged, prosecuted, or penalized” for possession of a controlled substance if the evidence was obtained as a result of a call for medical assistance. The “event” season is upon us. This year the Christmas in the Park event is on December 7. Led by Public Service Officers who donate significant time to this community event, plans call for them (PSOs) to also assist Operation Santa this year. Angie Gardner, WCSO Analyst in Juvenile Division of WCSO is new to the job, and currently she’s focused on party patrol best practices beginning with development of Hot spot maps to guide resources. • FOOD FUNDS drive – Haydee Jackley, EMPTY BOWLS Chair, is on the BoCC agenda on October 15. The team needs volunteers to sell tickets. Mini-tractor raffle tickets $5 each. Donations of $10each for bowls and paints. Event tickets $15 each. A team of people are hard at work to recruit soup makers, craft vendors, youth for Stone Soup Play, music and donations important to cover costs for the event in order to reach the goal of raising $6000 to assist food needs in Wakulla County. • Charlean Lanier asked the group to be watchful of Thanksgiving food needs, especially Thanksgiving dinner boxes. The WCSO and others will begin to assess needs into short days ahead in anticipation of providing assistance. • DOH community health – Grace Keith reports scheduled CPR classes for those needing two year certification, and PRO for medical staff. She also mentioned that the Assessment team benefitted from the community and professional experience of twenty who participated. The report is under development. • COMMISSON – COMMUNITY – Offered the Coalition the opportunity to study Infrastructure projects that have been identified and will now be ranked for legislative funding. The Commissioner then outlined RESTORE Act funding levels, history, and intent of BoCC to establish an Advisory Committee. Discussion then turned to the Community Center which remains unsettled. Ms. Artz’ last day is November 16. She encouraged the WCCY to develop questions for the next Candidate’s Forum (which was done) asking how candidates feel about the community center. In response to a letter to the editor suggesting that schools do more, share resources, Beth O’Donnell mentioned that schools are tapped out, resources limited. Ms. Artz indicates she will continue to come to WCCY meetings. She implored the WCCY to step out and step up on the community center issue, write letters to Commissioners, to the Editor. Mary Ballard of Catholic Charities encouraged the WCCY to take advantage of this window of time. YMCA stated they do not want to be the bad guy anywhere, that they’ve sough objective planning at every turn, and in 2010 asked the county what they wanted. Ken Franklin asked that there by no more misinformation. YMCA is about health and wellness and he’s looking for collaboration. It is evident the elections have effectively stalled forward planning (despite BoCC unanimous vote to move the RPF forward) as the RFP is dormant, Commissioner Brock has called for a community workshop on the Community Center to take place after elections. Gail expressed genuine disappointment in the evident lack of concern for youth – only lip-service, opportunities for them, listening to (and hearing) their voices. • OPERATION SANTA – Bruce is on the October 15 BoCC agenda about Operation Santa. The referral form is finished and will be emailed to the entire WCCY partnership by Friday. School District referrals will be made by educators and counselors in the district to Operation Santa. Sherri Kraeft reports that 4H youth will again provide citrus/fruit to Operation Santa families. John Shuff has donated an empty retail store in his North Pointe Complex. TCC has offered use of the old TCC Wakulla Center. The North Pointe Center space is almost full due to donations of a complete household and furniture from another donor. The household was given by a family in crisis, a family who moved back to Virginia to live with a mom because the family lost everything. An unemployed Dad, an underemployed mom with two teens. Most sad of times, and yet they wanted to make sure their things made way to others who are struggling to keep heads above water. The Coalition assisted in having their car checked out and in gas money for the trip. Space/Use of the Community Center was requested again and is under consideration. • DOMESTIC VIOLENCE – October is domestic violence month. On Oct. 10 the meeting at First Baptist Church at 12:30 p.m. will feature the Honorable Jackie Fulford. Everyone is invited, lunch is provided. • NAMI – Mental Health – has two big events coming up. Oct. 6 at Hudson Park a garage sale (fund raiser) and Oct. 13 the Walk for Heroes in Hudson Park. • FL NATIONAL GUARD – Lt. Gatchell reports he is speaking in all the schools from 9th and 10 grades all the way down to 3rd graders, and the Second Chance School during Red Ribbon Month, October. Gatchell introduced Sarah Morgan as the new Fearless Leaders coordinator. Sarah, as a volunteer, will be working/guiding/building collaborations for youth sector activities across the full spectrum of youth organizations (AVID, 4H, SWAT, Interact. Currently there are six projects that call for youth leadership and ownership. The WCCY is working to secure the resources needed to carry forward their work, to include consistent and meaningful exposure of young leaders and the difference they make in the community, training and mentorship by Savannah Chase in social marketing (aligned with Coalition website). Gail noted that the work of Angie Gardner of the WCSO, Deborah Shaw of Court Administration, and Fearless Youth-Sarah Morgan promises to fast track Coalition goals of youth education, the building of genuine tangible service and projects in the community, and showcasing Wakulla’s young leaders. • CATHOLIC CHARITIES – Mary Ballard reports that $10K Wakulla allocation for housing assistance related to TS Deby have been expended. She invited everyone to the Oct 4 fundraiser in Tallahassee where his son tells the compelling story of Sargent Robert Shriver, Jr. He was President Johnson’s architect of the War on Poverty. Mary also noted the collaboration between Operation Santa, Salvation Army and Christmas Connection which will bring together the three groups to insure limited duplication of efforts in order to spread limited resources further. Catholic Charities provide Christmas for 70 Wakulla families last year. They have three referral points (Senior Center, School, PreK). • UTILITY ASSISTANCE – Derek Sims reports that propane is now approved for assistance. • JUVENILE JUSTICE – Joe Quinn reports no new cases in the past month and a case load of 50 youth on probation in Wakulla. They continue to build a good relationship with the school district. • COURT ADMINISTRATION – Deborah Shaw – new to the Wakulla table but a permanent member of the Coalition and the JJ Council now supervises in Wakulla County. She reports 7 additional youth not on probation that she supervises. • NOPE Candlelight Vigil – Thurs Oct. 26, 6 p.m. – Sylvia asked partners to attend the vigil and to bring light finger foods to share during the reception. Lynn Artz made a motion to donate $50 to the effort for food, Mary Ballard 2nd, passed unanimously. Sylvia said the slate of speakers is confirmed, she has the candles, she again requested support of coalition by showing up. • Meeting adjourned 2:40 p.m.

Board of County Commissioners Agenda Request
Date of Meeting: November 5, 2012
Date Submitted: October 23, 2012
To: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
From: Commissioner Mike Stewart
Subject: Requesting Board Discussion Regarding the Speed Limit on Lonnie Raker Rd. South of Hwy 267 to East Ivan Rd.
Statement of Issue: This agenda item request Board discussion regarding the speed limit on Lonnie Raker Rd. South of Hwy 267 to East Ivan Rd.
Background: Over the past few years Lonnie Raker road has been paved and many areas are very narrow. The speed limit ranges from 35MPH to 45MPH along the length of the road.
Analysis: The CTST has met on two occasions and has discussed the issue of adjusting the speed limit either up or down. The CTST decided that the speed should be lowered to 35MPH along the entire length due to the many hazards associated with the Right of Way (ROW) and numerous residential roads and driveways.
Budgetary Impact: The budget will only be impacted by the cost of replacing the speed limit sign.
Options: 1. Approve to lower the speed limit to 35MPH along Lonnie Raker south of 267 and north of East Ivan Road. 2. Do not approve to lower the speed limit 3. Board Direction
