1 P R O C E E D I N G S 2 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good morning, and welcome to 4 the September 20th Cabinet meeting. 5 To begin our meeting, I would like to welcome 6 Sally Kate Edenfield to lead this morning's 7 invocation. 8 Please remain standing after the invocation 9 for the Pledge of Allegiance led by Evan Brown and 10 Sebastian Alexander. 11 Following the Pledge, we have the 12 National Anthem led by FSU Senior Lily Kauffman. 13 Sally Kate, would you like to begin? 14 (WHEREUPON, THE INVOCATION WAS GIVEN, THE 15 PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE WAS SAID, AND THE 16 NATIONAL ANTHEM SUNG). 17 18 * * * * 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

1 OFFICE OF FINANCIAL REGULATION 2 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next I'd like to recognize 4 Drew Breakspear with the Office of Financial 5 Regulation. 6 Hi, Drew. Good morning. 7 COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Good morning, 8 Governor Scott, Attorney General Bondi, 9 CFO Atwater, and Commissioner Putnam. 10 The OFR has two items on the agenda today: 11 Agenda Item Number 1, the OFR respectfully requests 12 approval of the fiscal year 2015/16 Quarter 4 13 report to the Financial Services Commission. While 14 this report covers the fourth quarter of the fiscal 15 year, it actually reflects the first quarter of our 16 next reporting year. 17 If you remember, I gave my annual report back 18 on May the 10th. Overall in Quarter 4, the Agency 19 scored 3.8, which equates to exceeding 20 expectations. 21 There are several items I would like to 22 highlight regarding the OFR's Quarter 4 report: 23 Measures 1 through 4 remain unchanged from the 24 prior quarter and reflect the highest score of 5. 25 As for Mission Number 4, the average number of
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 5
1 days from receipt of application to date of 2 approval, our average number of days to approve 3 applications increased by one day over the prior 4 quarter, which brought our score for this measure 5 to 4, a slight decrease from the highest score of 6 5. 7 Measure 6 and 7 continue to reflect the 8 highest score of 5. 9 Measure 8, the average days to issue 10 deficiency letters to investor advisor applicants, 11 has remained at 11 days for the three quarters, 12 which translates to a score of 4. 13 Are there any questions with the OFR's 14 quarterly report? 15 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Are there any questions? 16 (NO RESPONSE). 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion to accept 18 the report? 19 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 21 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Any comments or objections? 23 (NO RESPONSE). 24 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 25 carries.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 6
1 COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Okay. Agenda Item 2 Number 2, I'd like to provide you with an update 3 about the Agency's efforts to address the key 4 challenges that I mentioned during my leadership 5 assessment on May 10th. We've been working hard to 6 bring good ideas to fruition in the areas of 7 employee recruitment and retention. The process 8 began in 2015 with the Agency's comprehensive 9 assessment of the challenges regarding employee 10 engagement, recruitment and, critically, retention. 11 We started data collection analysis by 12 launching the Agency's first ever employee 13 engagement survey. The survey concluded in March 14 of 2016. Starting in early 2016, the Agency 15 created an exit interview process for employees who 16 leave the Agency. Based on the information 17 gathered in the exit interviews, we're refining the 18 exit interview questions and process. 19 Implementation of the employee engagement 20 survey and exit interviews were very successful. 21 Nearly 60% of employees responded to the engagement 22 survey. We learned that generally OFR employees 23 feel the managers know and care about them and give 24 them ownership for their work. Areas identified as 25 needing improvement included employee growth
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 7
1 opportunities and managers' abilities to inspire 2 employees. 3 The OFR intends to conduct another employee 4 engagement survey towards the end of 2016. 5 Initial feedback from exit interviews suggest 6 that employee comments were focused on low and 7 noncompetitive salary, as well as lack of 8 opportunities for employee growth and training. We 9 are continuing to conduct exit interviews, and we 10 are refining the process as we go. 11 Since my leadership assessment on May 10th, my 12 team has visited with your staff to gather feedback 13 and review ideas that can help our agency. Team 14 emphasis had been dedicated to three core 15 initiatives: One, enhancing OFR manager skills and 16 knowledge; two, revitalizing the Agency's new 17 employee orientation; and three, exploring ideas 18 and models for employee incentive plans. 19 Let me share with you my vision for the 20 rollout of these three initiatives: I believe 21 these initiatives can have a significant impact on 22 employee turnover and retention by affecting how 23 current managers engage employees and how new 24 employees feel in the first weeks on the job. 25 We hope that these strategies will increase
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 8
1 the Agency's ability to hire, train, and 2 particularly retain high-quality talent. 3 Enhancing OFR manager skills and knowledge: 4 Managers are critical to employee retention efforts 5 of the OFR. This week, September the 20th through 6 the 22nd, the Agency is hosting a statewide 7 training program in Tallahassee for our managers. 8 The three-day training program will provide tools 9 to better empower OFR managers and define 10 approaches they can use to build better 11 relationships with their employees. 12 My staff has provided you with copies of the 13 agenda for the managers training. We view this as 14 an opportunity for managers to learn about 15 leadership, personnel, and management challenges 16 and solution development, all of which are key to 17 enhancing the professional growth. This will help 18 them build better relationships with their 19 employees, and thus improve employee satisfaction. 20 Another benefit of this program will be to 21 ensure management continuity across our state 22 offices and introduce our managers to each other, 23 allowing them to learn from one another, which is 24 the foundation of my One OFR concept. 25 Additionally, we will provide professional
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 9
1 development to managers who join the OFR after this 2 week's training. We'll accomplish this by hosting 3 ongoing OFR manager orientation. 4 My vision for this initiative is to bring 5 regional office managers to our headquarters in 6 Tallahassee during the first 30 days of employment. 7 This will provide new managers the opportunity to 8 meet the leadership team, learn about the mission, 9 values, and culture of the Agency, and understand 10 the expected performance metrics. 11 Our goal is that managers feel that they are 12 part of a strong supportive team, and the OFR 13 Manager Orientation Program will help the Agency 14 accomplish this goal. Again, the OFR intends to 15 deliver this service to managers joining the OFR 16 after the September 20th - 22nd, 2016, training 17 program. 18 Next, revitalizing new employee orientation. 19 Much of the new employee's experience is driven by 20 first impressions. I want to create an engaging 21 atmosphere for our new employees so they feel 22 welcomed and valued. 23 Revitalizing the OFR's new employee 24 orientation is a three-step process: Step 1, we 25 are restructuring our employee welcome letter.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 10
1 Rather than simply receiving a letter, the new 2 employee will receive a welcome letter packet that 3 has been revamped to include an updated welcome 4 letter and additional resources. The new materials 5 include a guide to benefits offered to new 6 employees, an attachment that contains the listing 7 of online resources describing health benefits, 8 retirement benefits, leave and attendance, just to 9 name a few. 10 Additionally, the package will include the 11 name and description of the duties of key people on 12 the OFR leadership team. Since this information 13 will be provided by mail to each new employee, I 14 believe this will help them become more familiar 15 with the OFR prior to their first day on the job. 16 The OFR will roll this service out to new employees 17 beginning October the 1st, 2016. 18 Step 2, the OFR has designed a new on-desk 19 packet. This packet will be provided to each new 20 employee on their first day. This valuable 21 resource includes: A welcome letter from me, a 22 division flyer, the newly designed employee 23 guidebook, and a policy folder. The employee 24 guidebook is a great way for new team members to 25 learn about the basics of the OFR.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 11
1 The package is complete with leadership team 2 pictures, regional office locations, key employee 3 policies, and a calendar with key dates and events 4 for the OFR. 5 The policy folder includes essential Agency 6 policies and procedures, employee forms 7 regarding -- requiring immediate signature, and 8 other guidance helpful to new hires. The OFR will 9 roll out this service for new employees, again, 10 beginning October the 1st. 11 Step 3, the OFR will develop its own new 12 Employee Orientation Program. Since the OFR 13 contracts for administrative support from the 14 Department of Financial Services, new OFR employees 15 currently attend DFS orientation; however, the 16 Agency believes that its employees need to program 17 this tailored to and focused on the OFR's mission 18 and values. 19 The OFR is preparing its own mini orientation 20 program that will be held subsequent to the DFS 21 orientation provided to new OFR employees. The OFR 22 intends to have our mini orientation program fully 23 developed so it can be implemented beginning 24 January the 1st of 2017. 25 We are -- thirdly, we're exploring new ideas.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 12
1 I am committed to continuing to explore new ideas 2 and other ways to address employee recruitment and 3 retention. As I said earlier, I believe the 4 initiatives that I've described today will have a 5 significant impact on how current managers engage 6 employees and how new employees feel in their first 7 weeks on the job. 8 We hope these strategies will increase the 9 Agency's ability to hire, train, and retain high 10 quality help. My team has actually engaged with 11 the leadership in other state agencies that have 12 experienced similar challenges. We're continuing 13 to employ -- explore employee incentive models that 14 could potentially be implemented at the OFR. 15 In 2015, the OFR's Division of Financial 16 Institutions implemented a pay incentive program 17 for employees who complete certain benchmarks 18 related to successful completion of levels of 19 financial institution schools offered by the 20 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the 21 National Credit Union Administration. The OFR is 22 exploring whether there are similar opportunities 23 within the other program areas of the Agency. 24 Finally, in closing, I want to assure you of 25 my commitment to these initiatives and to improving
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 13
1 employee recruitment and retention at the Agency. 2 Moving forward I will assess the results of this 3 week's Statewide Manager Training Program, any 4 themes coming out of it, refinements that need to 5 be made, and longer term initiatives based on the 6 feedback from these programs. 7 At some point, we may come back to address 8 compensation disparities. We provided your staff 9 with competitive payroll information, which 10 includes other states, regulators, and federal 11 agencies. 12 At this time I would be happy to answer any 13 questions you might have. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Does anyone have any 15 questions? 16 CFO ATWATER: No, thank you. 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Thank you for the 18 update. Have a great day. 19 COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Thank you very much. 20 21 22 * * * * 23 24 25

1 OFFICE OF INSURANCE REGULATION 2 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next I would like to 4 recognize David Altmaier with the Office of 5 Insurance Regulation. 6 Good morning, David. 7 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Good morning, 8 Governor. Good morning, Cabinet. It's great to be 9 here this morning. 10 So what I thought that I would do before I get 11 started into our actual agenda is just give quick 12 updates on the claims experience that we're seeing 13 with Hurricane Hermine. 14 As you all are likely aware, immediately 15 following landfall of the storm, we initiated a 16 data call to our industry and began to collect 17 information about the experience that they were 18 having with claims. 19 That information is up to date. As of this 20 past Friday, we've had 205 companies submit 21 information to us. At this point in time we have 22 14,890 claims that have been filed. The industry 23 expects that those will cost approximately 24 $80 million. 25 So those are numbers that we expect to
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 15
1 fluctuate over the next several weeks to months as 2 the claims adjustment process unfolds, but at the 3 moment we've been in contact with most of our 4 industry. And as you would expect after a 5 Category 1 storm, those numbers don't appear to put 6 any particular company in any kind of financial 7 duress. So we're encouraged by the response of our 8 industry, encouraged by the numbers that we're 9 seeing. It does appear everyone was prepared. 10 We've been staying in close communication, 11 CFO, with your Division of Consumers Services and 12 keeping an eye on call volume that might indicate a 13 need for us to spring into action; but thus far, 14 that seems to be minimal. 15 So at this point, I'll take any questions 16 about that, but at the moment, it's playing out 17 somewhat as we expected. 18 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Commissioner, is it the 19 typical policy that has business interruption 20 insurance, is it clear what's covered and what's 21 not covered? 22 MR. ALTMAIER: It certainly should be clear 23 what's covered under business interruption. There 24 is a percentage for mean claims that we expect will 25 be related to business interruption. In fact, the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 16
1 modeling agency, RMS, just released a publication a 2 couple of hours ago. They estimate in the 3 southeast where the storm was impacting not just in 4 Florida, but there will be approximately 5 $400 million in claims; and a large part of that 6 will be related to business interruption. 7 GOVERNOR SCOTT: I had one person -- one 8 business owner say that their insurance company 9 said to them that because the -- how did they say 10 it? Because the outage was not on their property, 11 it was caused by a tree on some other property, 12 their business wouldn't be covered for a business 13 interruption. 14 MR. ALTMAIER: I understand. It gets -- 15 GOVERNOR SCOTT: It seems hard to believe, but 16 I've never read the policy, so -- 17 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: We're happy to take a 18 look at any particular situation that seems 19 strange. It gets a little nuance when there's a 20 tree in somebody's yard that falls on someone 21 else's yard. I think probably some of the calls 22 that have come in have been related to that very 23 situation. It does get a little nuance, but if 24 there's a situation that doesn't seem to make 25 sense, we're happy to take a closer look at it.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 17
1 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thanks, and I know your 2 office has -- everybody we've referred, your office 3 has done a great job. 4 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Well, glad to hear. 5 So we will just jump right into the agenda. 6 The first item up is a request for approval for the 7 final adoption of our minutes from the April 26th, 8 2016, Financial Services Commission. 9 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion on the 10 item? 11 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 13 CFO ATWATER: Second. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objection? 15 (NO RESPONSE). 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 17 carries. 18 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Thank you very much. 19 The next three items, Items 2, 3, and 4 of the 20 agenda are all the final adoption of the repeal of 21 several rules. Since they are up for final 22 adoption, my plan is to address each individually; 23 but if you'd like for me to do that differently, 24 I'm happy to lump them together. 25 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. That's fine.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 18
1 MR. ALTMAIER: Lump them together? Agenda 2 Items 2 -- 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Please lump them together. 4 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: I'm sorry? 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Lump them together unless 6 anybody has a problem with it. 7 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Okay. Perfect. 8 Agenda Item Number 2 covers two rules that 9 govern the public records request that we receive, 10 as well as indexing of final orders. These rules 11 have become obsolete because most of the guidance 12 in those rules is now governed by statute or in our 13 policies and procedures. 14 Agenda Item Number 3 is seven total rules that 15 govern our smoking policy, and the statutory 16 authority for setting rules related to the smoking 17 policy is no longer with the OIR, it's with other 18 state agencies and so those have become obsolete. 19 And then Agenda Item Number 4 is the repeal of 20 a rule that had in it hardwired the form that 21 certain title insurance companies and agents used 22 for their closing protection letter forms. In our 23 form review process now, we don't like to put the 24 forms directly into a rule. We have more of a 25 back-and-forth approval process with the companies,
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 19
1 and so this rule is also obsolete. 2 So I'd respectfully request your approval for 3 the final adoption for the repeal of those three 4 items. 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Items 2, 3, and 4, is there a 6 motion? 7 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So moved. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 9 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Second. 10 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 11 (NO RESPONSE). 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 13 carries. 14 We're going to Item 5 now. 15 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Thank you very much. 16 Item Number 5 is request for final adoption of 17 amendments to Rule 69O1-37.001. As you're aware, 18 insurance companies file with us quarterly and 19 annual financial statements, and the statute gives 20 us the authority to set the standard by which those 21 are received. 22 What we have historically done is adopted the 23 National Association of Insurance Commissioners' 24 blanks. This amendment would just simply update 25 those blanks to the current year, 2015 annual and
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 20
1 2016 quarterly. So I'd respectfully request your 2 approval of that agenda item. 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: For Item 5 is there a motion? 4 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Second? 6 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 7 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 8 (NO RESPONSE). 9 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 10 carries. 11 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Thank you very much. 12 And our last -- excuse me, Agenda Item 13 Number 6 is the final adoption for final approval 14 for amendments to Rule 69O-138.001, similar to the 15 rule that we just adopted, this is a rule that 16 adopts the financial condition examiner's handbook. 17 That's guidance that our field examiners utilize 18 when they do examinations of insurance companies. 19 This update would simply amend the rule to 20 include the most recent year of 2016. So 21 respectfully request your approval of that item. 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Item 6, is there a motion on 23 the item? 24 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So move. 25 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second?
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 21
1 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Second. 2 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 3 (NO RESPONSE). 4 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 5 carries. 6 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Okay. Thank you very 7 much. 8 One last rule-related item is Agenda Item 9 Number 7. This is a request for a publication of 10 amendments to Rule 69O-161.001, 010, and 011. This 11 is related to the recently-passed statute that 12 requires the adoption of a standard prior 13 authorization form, as well as guidance in how to 14 submit that. And these are the forms that 15 physicians utilize when requesting services from 16 insurance companies. 17 The statute requires that we consult with the 18 Agency for Healthcare Administration on this, which 19 we have done throughout our process. So far they 20 have been very helpful, as well as listing feedback 21 from any other stakeholder. 22 So I would respectfully request your approval 23 of -- 24 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Item 7, is there a motion? 25 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 22
1 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 2 CFO ATWATER: Second. 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 4 (NO RESPONSE). 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 6 carries. 7 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: All right. Perfect. 8 So we'll get into the meatier part of our 9 agenda. This is the 2006 -- fiscal year 2016/17 10 performance measures, our 2017/18 legislative 11 budget request, and our 2017 legislative session 12 priorities. 13 So this is a great conversation for us to 14 have. I like the way that we have them together. 15 I think when we go through our performance measures 16 internally, it gives us a better picture of how 17 we're responding to evolving market conditions in 18 the insurance industry and gives us a frame of 19 reference for what be might need to look at from a 20 legislative standpoint, and also from a budget 21 standpoint. 22 It's certainly always helpful to start that 23 conversation by centering in on the mission of the 24 office in which this is a slide that you have seen 25 before. Our mission continues to be promoting the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 23
1 proper balance between consumer centric protections 2 and market stability. And so as you hear our 3 legislative budget requests, and legislative 4 priorities, as well as we do our performance 5 measures, this will hopefully come through in that 6 discussion. 7 This is our performance measure detail. These 8 are the ten performance measures that the Office 9 attempts to comply with. We have two columns 10 there. The second to the last is the total fiscal 11 year. I'm very proud that we achieved a 12 4.9 overall score. Our staff continues to go above 13 and beyond their expectations and do a very good 14 job getting their filings done, staying in 15 communication with our insurance companies, getting 16 our rate filings reviewed in a timely fashion. 17 You can see on the last column, that is the 18 most recent quarter, the fourth quarter, very proud 19 that we achieved all fives in that particular 20 column, and so very pleased with the effort that 21 our staff has put in over the last quarter. 22 So as a new agency head, these are standards 23 that I've inherited from my predecessor. That 24 being said, as one of his deputies, I was 25 significantly involved in the development of these
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 24
1 standards. I still believe that they accurately 2 measure the day-to-day operations of the Office. 3 But since it is the end of a fiscal year and 4 since I am new to the position, we're going to take 5 a look at these and just make sure that if there is 6 any room to update those, to continue challenging 7 our staff, to continue challenging the Agency to 8 meet the demands of the insurance-buying public, we 9 will have that review and have that conversation 10 internally. 11 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Governor? 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Yes, Commissioner. 13 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I'm glad to hear you say 14 that. I think when we had another new agency head, 15 I said, you know, you're inheriting these standards 16 so feel free to take a look at them since you're 17 going to be judged by them; and so I'm glad to hear 18 you say that you're going to do that. 19 And while you're doing that, I would 20 congratulate you on practically being perfect in 21 every way, but I would encourage you to evaluate 22 the standards on whether they're asking you to 23 stretch enough. 24 As much as I want to see excellence, I want to 25 see an accurate reflexion of where our strengths
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 25
1 are and where our gaps are. And, you know, these 2 are very process-oriented metrics, and the evidence 3 is clear that y'all are very efficient, and that's 4 outstanding; but when you align your mission and 5 your objectives with your metrics, I think that 6 there's probably an opportunity under your 7 leadership to put your imprint on it and to 8 identify some additional areas for evaluation that 9 will give us a complete picture of the challenges 10 that you face and the needs of your Agency. 11 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Thank you, 12 Commissioner. I will certainly take those comments 13 to heart. 14 My personal philosophy is that in our business 15 and in our personal lives, there's always room for 16 improvement. So we will make sure that we design 17 performance measures that accurately measure our 18 day-to-day operations and our mission but also 19 challenge us to seek out ways in which we can be 20 better and more streamlined and efficient. 21 So thank you for that feedback. 22 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you. And 23 congratulations on a 4.9. 24 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Thank you very much. 25 That goes to my staff.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 26
1 So to the Commissioner's point, there are a 2 lot of things that we deal with on a regular basis 3 that doesn't tend to come through in the numbers, 4 and these are just some of those selected 5 activities and accomplishments, as well as 6 opportunities that we see coming up. We have a 7 couple of slides for the P&C segment and a couple 8 of slides for the life and health segment. This is 9 where we really look at the performance of our 10 office with respect to the evolving conditions in 11 the marketplace and try to parlay that performance 12 into developing our legislative budget request and 13 our 2017 legislative priorities. And so you're 14 probably going to hear, as we talk through this, 15 some overlap into those conversations. 16 I'm not going to go through everything on this 17 slide. There are just a couple that I want to 18 highlight, most of which you are very familiar 19 with. The first one that I do want to mention, 20 of course, are the Supreme Court decisions related 21 to workers' compensation insurance. Of course I'm 22 talking about the Castellanos decision and the 23 Westlaw decision. Those are rate filings that our 24 Office has worked very hard on over the past six to 25 eight weeks when those decisions were rendered and
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 27
1 those filings were made. 2 So a couple of key things there: We're 3 getting very close to being finished with those 4 reviews and putting those rate filings out into the 5 public so that our business owners and community 6 can respond to that and plan effectively. 7 More so than that though, these decisions 8 raise the question about what our workers' 9 compensation system should look like in Florida 10 going forward. I know that there have been a lot 11 of stakeholders that have raised concerns about the 12 nature of these decisions. There are a lot of 13 stakeholders that raised concerns about the 14 concerns that have been raised from this decision, 15 so there's going to be a very, I'm sure, passionate 16 discussion on workers' compensation insurance. 17 And so one of the goals for our Office is to 18 make sure that we're prepared to act as a resource 19 for those folks when they're interested in going 20 down that path, and we'll talk about that in just a 21 few moments; but this has occupied a significant 22 amount of our time on the P&C side. 23 I want to mention the personal injury 24 protection, the PIP reports that we commissioned 25 several months ago. It was issued last week. It's
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 28
1 a dense 400-page actuarial report, and so we're 2 still going through that. 3 I want to share with you just a couple of 4 high-level comments: First of all, it does appear 5 that HB 119 was effective as a cost-saving tool in 6 the PIP marketplace. When you look at the cost of 7 PIP since the passage of HB 119 in Florida compared 8 to nationwide, there was about a 20% decline in 9 costs related to that Bill. 10 That being said, the report also goes on to 11 suggest that if PIP were repealed, there would be 12 an approximate 9.7% savings in premium. That comes 13 with an important caveat, that that assumption is 14 that PIP is repealed and not replaced with anything 15 which, of course, is a very important public policy 16 decision that we'll be interested in being a part 17 of that discussion. 18 For the consumers -- that if we were to go 19 down the path of repealing PIP, for the consumers 20 that choose to replace PIP with a comparable 21 coverage, to maintain that, depending on the level 22 of coverage that they select, those cost savings 23 become very negligible; in some cases, even almost 24 wash completely out. 25 And so the PIP report is something that we'll
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 29
1 be spending a substantial amount of time with over 2 the next several weeks as we formulate precisely 3 what it says from an actuarial standpoint and how 4 those actuarial assumptions would impact the 5 industry. 6 And then the final thing that I want to draw 7 your attention to on this slide is an issue I'm 8 sure you're all very familiar with, which is a rise 9 in water loss trends that we're seeing on property 10 and the property market. You may hear this 11 characterized by other folks as a problem with the 12 assignment of benefits. And the story goes that 13 homeowners, insurers -- homeowners, insureds have 14 water losses or roof losses, they assign their 15 benefits to a third party, and then the 16 third party -- the allegation is that they ramp up 17 the costs to the insurance company. 18 We are seeing this -- and I want to show a 19 slide here -- we are seeing this reflected in the 20 rate filings that we are receiving at the Office, 21 and so this is an important tale of two years. 22 On the left-hand side, the pie chart are the 23 rate filings that we received for our property 24 writers between January and July of 2015. You can 25 see the big chunk of dark blue there are the number
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 30
1 of filings that were submitted to us that requested 2 a rate decrease, and so those were substantially 3 more than the rate filings that we received that 4 requested a rate increase. 5 On the right-hand side is the same time period 6 for 2016 as opposed to 2015, and you can see the 7 script has flipped. Not only are we receiving many 8 more rate filings that are requesting an increase, 9 it's almost 75% of the total filings that we're 10 receiving; but many of those increases range from 11 8 to 9, up to 12%. 12 So there are substantial rate increases -- 13 when we have conversations with the companies about 14 this, they attribute the need for rates to 15 increased water loss trends that they are seeing; 16 and so it's certainly very frustrating for me as an 17 insurance regulator, and I'm sure for you as well, 18 to have a period of time -- I used to be able to 19 say a period of no storm activity, but now I have 20 to say a period of minimal storm activity, to see 21 rates going up in this nature when really 22 reinsurance costs are coming down and things in the 23 market are very favorable. 24 Another area that we're -- 25 Yes, I'm sorry.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 31
1 CFO ATWATER: Commissioner, to that point, I 2 take it that you're finding that embedded within 3 the filing is the evidence of the increases and 4 losses that they're experiencing? 5 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Yes. 6 CFO ATWATER: Would that be accurate to say? 7 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: That is an accurate 8 statement. 9 CFO ATWATER: Okay. So, and I know that you 10 would not obviously approve a rate that was not 11 justified by the evidence, so not only is this what 12 you're saying they're coming in the door sharing 13 with you, but you're actually seeing the evidence 14 internally within the filing of the losses 15 themselves? 16 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: That's correct, yes. 17 CFO ATWATER: Have you begun to see any of 18 these players suggest to you or begin to take 19 action on non-renewing any of their policies within 20 some of these geographic areas where there seems to 21 be significant -- 22 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: What we're hearing 23 currently is some underwriting actions that are 24 coming at the moment in the form of closing down 25 certain zip codes throughout the state, as opposed
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 32
1 to a mass number of non-renewals. Now we have 2 heard of a case here and there of a company that is 3 looking at a block of business and determining that 4 the risk is not something that is up to their 5 appetite, it doesn't fit well in their portfolio, 6 so they may take those non-renewal actions. 7 But what we're hearing more widespread than 8 that are companies looking at certain regions of 9 the state and determining that given the rising 10 water losses in those regions, it's just not a good 11 idea for them to be writing in those regions. 12 CFO ATWATER: Which would then impact future 13 takeouts, I would take it, as well as the potential 14 of non-renewals in the future? 15 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: That is correct, and 16 that actually is a great segue into this slide. 17 You can see here that already -- a lot of this is 18 due to the fact that Citizens is below 500,000 19 policies, and so the pool of risk that's there 20 available to take is beginning to dry up. You can 21 see that in the chart on the right-hand side. The 22 number of approved takeouts so far this year is 23 570,000; however, only 47,000 of those have gone 24 out. 25 What's going to complicate that, CFO, is
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 33
1 exactly the point that you just raised, which the 2 570,000 number is going to begin to shrink 3 significantly because of the fact that companies 4 are going to be looking at their underwriting, the 5 risks that they currently have, and they're going 6 to determine more than likely that it may not be in 7 their best interest to pursue taking on additional 8 risk through the takeout policy. 9 So you will hear Barry Gilway talk about a 10 repopulation of Citizens over time if this were to 11 continue, which certainly would undo a lot of great 12 progress that's been made over the past several 13 years with reducing the policies in Citizens. 14 CFO ATWATER: You know, we all knew, at a 15 point when you're at one and a half million 16 policies, that at some point when the depopulation 17 reaches at some stage of where we're at, 490, 18 493 -- 19 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Yes, sir. 20 CFO ATWATER: -- somewhere in that range now, 21 that obviously the percentage movement would slow 22 just on the bare mathematics of that. But I just 23 would say to you, what I'd be really concerned 24 about is if the behavior in the marketplace is not 25 addressed or continues to put cost pressures, that
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 34
1 marketplace players decide we're exiting, we're 2 non-renewing and that cost be moved back to 3 Citizens, that house will be moved back to 4 Citizens, that we just have to be sure that 5 historically where Citizens became a place where 6 anyone could go, such as in some of the sinkhole 7 issues and they weren't getting adequate rate, 8 well, then, you know, this was all falling 9 eventually on an innocent homeowner and so that our 10 public policy making has to stay ahead of this. 11 And so I just would appreciate -- I know you 12 have access to us at any time, but if you begin to 13 see some movement on non-renewals and the point is 14 that their public policies -- they believe is 15 causing harm to the business model that can't keep 16 rates low enough for households, then I think 17 that's just a real alarm for all of us. 18 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Certainly. 19 CFO ATWATER: Okay. 20 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Certainly. Thank you. 21 So we'll transition now to the life and health 22 side, and two key issues that I want to highlight 23 on the life and health marketplace that our staff 24 has spent some time dealing with. And you are all 25 aware a couple of weeks ago, we did announce the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 35
1 approval of the rate filings for ACA compliant 2 products, and so we had 15 individual -- 15 small 3 group compliant health insurance rates. 4 The story here is a significant contraction in 5 our health insurance marketplace. I think you're 6 likely aware of the two very large health insurance 7 companies that have completely withdrawn from the 8 market here in Florida, as well as a third very 9 large carrier that has withdrawn from 31 of the 37 10 counties that they operated in; so they'll now only 11 be operating in six counties. 12 What that means for Floridians is, first of 13 all, there are 47 of our 67 counties in which only 14 one health insurance company is offering plans, 15 which significantly, obviously, reduces the 16 competition that consumers have access to. 17 The second thing is that the people that were 18 insured by those plans that are now withdrawing, 19 that's about 500,000 Floridians, they are going to 20 have to proactively go onto the enrollment website 21 and choose a new plan during this open enrollment 22 period. If they do not do that, then they will be 23 auto enrolled into a plan with similar costs and so 24 that they maintain some semblance of health 25 insurance coverage.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 36
1 So there are a couple of challenges there for 2 us. We are working with CMS at a federal level to 3 talk through their methodology for how consumers 4 are going to be mapped into new plans, but also we 5 are looking at, and this will come up in just a few 6 moments, we are looking at the condition of our -- 7 of the remaining carriers in the marketplace. We 8 have no solvency concerns with those carriers, but 9 we do believe that their leverage ratios, their 10 profitability ratios, and their capital ratios are 11 going to come under a little bit more stress than 12 they might have originally anticipated because of 13 the uptick in membership that they will likely see 14 as a result of these withdrawals. 15 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Governor? 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Yes, Commissioner. 17 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Could you elaborate on 18 this a little bit? I mean this is pretty 19 startling. How many players did you say were 20 pulling out of Florida and the other player that's 21 pulling out of a substantial number of counties 22 and -- 23 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Sure. 24 There are three carriers that have made 25 significant reductions in their presence in
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 37
1 Florida, two of those carriers have completely 2 withdrawn from the market. One of those carriers 3 that withdrew from the market last year, they had a 4 presence in all 67 counties in Florida. And so 5 that was a substantial loss in terms of a company 6 that was willing to write in all areas of the 7 state. 8 The third company that's significantly 9 reducing their presence, they were -- they had a 10 presence in 37 counties in Florida last year. They 11 have dropped that down to six counties in the State 12 of Florida, and so they have withdrawn from a 13 substantial number. 14 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: My goodness. So what 15 would be causing such a huge contraction of 16 healthcare coverage in Florida from the Feds? 17 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: There is an 18 uncertainty from the insurance carrier's 19 perspective about the risk pool that they will 20 ultimately be insuring, and that is a dynamic that 21 is changing. The law has been in place for several 22 years now, but it's still a changing dynamic when 23 you have people that historically have not had 24 insurance in the past, now they are becoming 25 insured.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 38
1 Most of the folks that are getting insured are 2 achieving a subsidy. Most of these folks that are 3 getting insurance may not have passed the 4 underwriting standards in place prior to the 5 enactment of the Affordable Care Act, and so that 6 is causing challenges for insurance companies in 7 setting their appropriate price points because they 8 are having difficulty gauging how healthy the risk 9 pool will be when they ultimately get to the 10 insurance. 11 And so without changes to a portion of the 12 program called the risk adjustment portion, which 13 is supposed to help compensate companies if they 14 are adversely selected, if they get an unhealthier 15 population than they suspect, we are hearing from 16 companies that that is not working as effectively 17 as it could; and so we're hearing from companies 18 that without changes to that particular mechanism, 19 they view this as an unviable business plan. And 20 so that's causing some to pull out, and it's 21 causing others to significantly reduce their 22 footprint. 23 And this is a nationwide phenomenon. There 24 are some states -- I've talked with fellow 25 commissioners. There are some states that have one
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 39
1 plan operating in the entire state. There are some 2 counties in some states that don't have any plans 3 at all and so consumers have zero choice in terms 4 of who to get their health insurance with. 5 And so it is a nationwide thing that has 6 captured the attention of state regulators to 7 determine what is the best way to identify the 8 hurdles in the program and put our resources to use 9 in an attempt to address those in a manner that we 10 can bring some competition back to the market for 11 the benefit of our consumers. 12 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So -- 13 GOVERNOR SCOTT: -- money. 14 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So how many Floridians 15 did you say are going to be automatically 16 reenrolled if they don't select on their own? 17 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: The number of insureds 18 that were with one of those three plans that will 19 have to find a new one is approximately 500,000. 20 So we are going to engage with as many stakeholders 21 as possible. 22 If you're watching on TV and you have a plan, 23 you need to maybe check on that; but we're also 24 going to engage with the agency forces, FAHO, FAIA. 25 We're going to talk to as many people as we can
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 40
1 that will have contact with some of those consumers 2 because the best thing that they can do, of course, 3 is to log into the website, check their coverage, 4 and make a selection that is suitable to their 5 needs as opposed to letting somebody else do it for 6 them. 7 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So how many Florida 8 counties will only have one carrier? 9 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Forty-seven. 10 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Forty-seven of 67 11 counties will only have one option for health 12 insurance? 13 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: That is correct. An 14 additional ten counties will only have two; and the 15 most we have in any one county is four plans. 16 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So it doesn't sound like 17 it's working out like they planned it. 18 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: It certainly -- from a 19 competitive standpoint, it is not. There is 20 certainly -- there's just not a robust number of 21 carriers that are offering these products, and that 22 causes challenges on a number of fronts. 23 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: And what about the 24 upward price pressure, what's the rate increase 25 look like?
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 41
1 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Yeah, what's the range, 2 David, on the prices that went up? 3 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: So the average rate 4 increase in the individual market was 19.1%. That 5 is a couple of points higher actually than what 6 carriers actually requested. The average rate 7 request was approximately 17.6%. 8 We wound up signing off on 19.1 for a few of 9 these reasons: For the change in risk pool, for 10 the lack of competition; and just a general 11 aggressive nature in the price of these products, 12 we've ticked it up a few points to try to 13 compensate for some of the challenges here. 14 Other states are seeing rate increases even 15 higher than that. I think the state of Tennessee, 16 hopefully I quote this correctly, they have two 17 plans in their state and they both had rate needs 18 of over 30%, so the theme nationwide or that the 19 carriers are having to raise rates substantially in 20 order to address this uncertainty with the risk 21 pool that they're ultimately insuring. 22 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So rates are going up 23 19 percent consistently. At what point do you 24 reach -- at what point do the insureds reach a 25 level where they're better off just paying the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 42
1 penalty instead of absorbing these enormous 2 double-digit rate increases? 3 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: A lot of that is 4 dependent a little bit on the insureds and how much 5 they were paying in insurance. That is also on an 6 escalating trajectory as well, and so in many cases 7 it may not actually be cost effective to drop the 8 coverage. 9 A lot of the consumers that are looking at 10 these rate increases because of the subsidies that 11 they receive, they won't actually see a significant 12 rate increase because that part will be in the 13 subsidy; but as we all know, somebody has to pay 14 the subsidy. And so, you know, the cost to the 15 entire population generally goes up. But the 16 actual payers of the insurance product may not 17 necessarily see 19.1% because of the interaction 18 that they have with the subsidies. 19 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you. 20 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: You're welcome. 21 So the other issue that I was going to 22 highlight on this particular slide is our long-term 23 care marketplace, and this is a slide that sort of 24 helps underscore the point I'd like to make here. 25 There are -- speaking of rate increases, the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 43
1 long-term care business model is starting to show 2 some cracks. This is a list of the top 25 3 long-term care companies. You can see in the very 4 last column that the majority of those have 5 requested significant rate increases, oftentimes 6 rate increases over a hundred percent; and in many 7 cases, impacting a large number of Floridians and 8 sometimes tens of thousands of Floridians subjected 9 to these rate increases. 10 And, of course, the nature of long-term care 11 is that these are products that many people bought 12 many, many years ago. Now these individuals are on 13 fixed income and just don't have the flexibility in 14 their budget to afford long-term care increases of 15 this nature. 16 The other factor complicating this is that the 17 companies that are bold and italicized on this 18 chart are the only companies that are still 19 offering their products in Florida, and so in 20 addition to the significant rate increases, we are 21 seeing of the companies begin to -- similar to the 22 point Commissioner Putnam was making about the ACA, 23 some companies are looking at this and saying, 24 you know, this business model is just not viable 25 for us any more so we're going to have to stop
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 44
1 offering our products. 2 It is a significant product. Most people, 3 according to a study, will have to utilize 4 long-term care services at some point in their 5 lives. In most of those cases, those costs can 6 exceed a hundred thousand dollars; and without a 7 robust private long-term care industry, much of 8 that cost will go to programs like Medicaid and 9 Medicare. 10 So these are the -- oh, and I almost forgot 11 one of our other important issues, and this was 12 related a little bit to what we were just 13 discussing. You know, when you have the 14 conversation about the Affordable -- 15 CFO ATWATER: Commissioner, on the previous 16 slide for a second, I know that -- I appreciate the 17 fact that you've included it here. I don't -- I'm 18 not sure that people have come to grips with how 19 serious an issue this is. 20 Have there been conversations with your peers 21 or at NAIC, any movement towards a collection of 22 ideas that could be placed into the arena of public 23 policy making that could help address this? 24 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Yes. 25 There are actually a number of work streams
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 45
1 ongoing, both with my colleagues across the 2 country, as well as here in Florida we have some 3 ideas as well, which we'll discuss when we get to 4 our legislative agenda. But just the ideas that we 5 have about this, it's a complicated balance, 6 because when we look at the performance of these 7 books of business, it's clear that there likely is 8 some significant rate need for these books. 9 That being said, there's a balance between 10 making sure the product is viable and making good 11 on your promises to your consumers. And so we have 12 looked at ways in which consumers can have some 13 options as opposed to just simply paying the higher 14 premium or canceling their policy. We've looked at 15 options. 16 A lot of these policies have what they call an 17 inflation benefit rider so the daily benefit that 18 you get under the policy goes up as inflation goes 19 up. So there could be some options with making 20 adjustments to that endorsement that could help 21 mitigate the increased rates. 22 It would be a reduction in coverage in some 23 cases, but it would still be an option for 24 consumers if they chose to go down that path, as 25 opposed to just the black-and-white pay-the-rate
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 46
1 increase or cancel the policy. 2 So it's ideas of that nature that we're having 3 conversations with internally with our companies 4 and with our colleagues nationwide to see what we 5 could potentially implement so the con -- 6 CFO ATWATER: Do you have the data that would 7 provide the Florida population that is 8 participating today in such coverage and the 9 decisions that are taking place each quarter as to 10 which ones are giving up and just not staying 11 current with their policy? 12 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: I'm sure that that is 13 information that we can get our hands on, if we 14 don't already have it; so I will circle back with 15 my team and track that down and circulate that for 16 you. 17 CFO ATWATER: I think us understanding the 18 significance here in our own state, I -- you try to 19 imagine someone who has been paying these premiums 20 knowing -- doing the responsible thing, that they 21 were going to take care of their own needs and not 22 place that burden on family or neighbors or their 23 government but taken care of; and then it gets to a 24 point after paying premiums year after year, that 25 now as they're getting closer to the actual date
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 47
1 where it may, in fact, be necessary, they can't 2 afford to go on, and -- 3 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Right. That's exactly 4 right. And actually we had two public rate 5 hearings in Miami in August, and we heard that 6 sentiment repeated over and over again, and 7 sometimes through tears of some of the insureds. 8 CFO ATWATER: I'm sure you did. 9 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: It's certainly a very 10 big issue for the insureds, and we want to make 11 sure that we are, as we mentioned in our mission 12 statement, finding that balance between making sure 13 this market stays viable, but also making sure that 14 consumers that are relying on these products have 15 some options to continue being insured under them. 16 CFO ATWATER: But you could create a data call 17 that could help us understand the significance of 18 those who have now -- who have been responsible, 19 have now had -- had no chance but to go bare. 20 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Yes, sir, we can -- if 21 we don't already have the data, we can certainly 22 construct a data call to look for it. 23 CFO ATWATER: Thank you. 24 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: And so I'll just touch 25 on this slide for just a quick moment because I
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 48
1 think we covered many of the key takeaways as we 2 discussed the rate filings and the ACA. 3 But we have, in light of that particular rate 4 filing, looked at our domestic marketplace, and I 5 just want to reiterate that it's a healthy 6 marketplace. But you can see the green line in the 7 box on the right, that's the profit margin for 8 these companies, and it's coming under some stress. 9 And so what we'd like to do is -- and we'll 10 talk about this more when we get to the legislative 11 portion of the presentation, talk about ways that 12 we can look at the standards that these HMOs comply 13 with and make sure that they are modernizing as the 14 marketplace that they operate in is changing. 15 So I want to transition then, those items that 16 we've talked about, as we look at those issues that 17 we have dealt with over the past several months, we 18 use that as a baseline for when we go into our 19 discussions about our budget and our legislative 20 needs and have a conversation about how those 21 change in conditions in the market might impact our 22 budgetary needs. This -- what you see is our 23 current budget for 2016/2017. 24 We have a team of 292 outstanding employees. 25 That's down from a peak of 315 from several years
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 49
1 ago. Our budget is 30.9 million. It's exclusively 2 funded by the Insurance Regulatory Trust Fund, so 3 there's no general revenue used for our budget. 4 And we do recognize a substantial amount of 5 efficiency by being administratively housed within 6 DFS and relying on them for certain administrative, 7 HR, and technological support. 8 So this slide shows a comparison between that 9 budget that I just gave at a very quick high level 10 and the proposal that we plan to hopefully make for 11 2017 and 2018. I just want to identify a couple of 12 the key differences. First of all, the only 13 substantial increase that we're asking for is in 14 the salaries and benefits. I'll talk about that in 15 just a quick moment, but we are looking for an 16 increase in salaries and benefits. 17 Offsetting that a little bit, the Florida 18 Public Hurricane Model is in its fourth and final 19 year of enhancements this year. So that $850,000 20 expense will roll off for 2017 and 2018, and so you 21 can see there that the proposed legislative budget 22 request would be $31.6 million after taking into 23 consideration some of those changes. 24 So I want to go into a little bit more detail 25 about what we have discovered after we've had
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 50
1 conversations about our budget needs. As I 2 mentioned, we have an outstanding staff at the 3 Office. One of the biggest challenges that we face 4 is that outstanding staff realizing how outstanding 5 they are and leaving and going to work in the 6 private sector. 7 The entry level positions that we have, 8 especially in our solvency business units, we have 9 looked at the statistics. And we have anywhere 10 between a 50% to 80% turnover ratio in some of 11 those lower level positions. And those are the 12 positions that when we get the financial 13 statements, the rate filings, and those key 14 documents, those are the folks that we rely on to 15 do the first analysis of those to keep the senior 16 level people informed on trends in the marketplace. 17 And so what we are trying to do with this 18 legislative budget request is reclassify a lot of 19 those lower level positions into positions that, 20 Number 1, are a little bit more competitive with 21 the private market, but also create some semblance 22 of a career track for these employees that we hire 23 generally from Florida State or FAMU, that work for 24 us for a year or two and then move on. One thing 25 that we did that I thought was very helpful is we
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 51
1 conducted a survey of our supervisory staff, and we 2 asked them how much time and resources they commit 3 to training new employees as a result of this 4 turnover. 5 And we got a great response from our 6 supervisory team. It appears that we are spending 7 a significant amount of resources, and so this 8 could actually represent some efficiencies in the 9 long run by saving costs and resources on the time 10 that our supervisory staff is spending training new 11 employees as we have our entry level folks working 12 out. 13 Because we're funded through the 14 Insurance Regulatory Trust, this increase in our 15 budget, it's a minimal increase in our budget, but 16 it would not affect the general revenue of the 17 state, it would just be a little bit extra 18 allocation from the Insurance Regulatory Trust. 19 As I mentioned, these are the significant 20 changes from last year's budget, but I'm happy to 21 take any questions on this before we move on to our 22 legislative items. 23 (NO RESPONSE). 24 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Okay. And we have 25 actually, I should note, prepared a document that
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 52
1 goes through a little bit more comprehensively our 2 legislative budget request. It talks a little bit 3 more about the survey, our turnover ratio, and 4 things of that nature. We've shared that with your 5 staff. We unfortunately did not do it timely 6 enough to do a thorough review before this meeting, 7 but as they work through that, if they have 8 questions for us, we'd be happy to chat with you 9 about that. 10 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Commissioner. 11 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Is the turnover a new 12 problem, or has the Department always acted as sort 13 of the training ground for actuaries, similar to a 14 public defender's office or a state attorney's 15 office? 16 I mean you're never going to be competitive on 17 salary, but it's kind of understood that you're 18 taking talent, introducing them to the real world; 19 and after a couple of years, they move on to the 20 private sector. Is it your vision that you should 21 be the career path for actuaries, or is it more 22 akin to the legal model. 23 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Well, it actually 24 is -- it's a historical problem. We have 25 historically struggled with the turnover in the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 53
1 lower parts of our organizational chart. The new 2 dynamic that has led to the development of this LBR 3 is the change in dynamics in the insurance 4 marketplace. It has changed so much in the past 5 four to five years, not only from a solvency review 6 standpoint, there are -- companies are becoming 7 more global, companies are evolving in terms of 8 their risk appetite and the things that they want 9 to be involved with. 10 So that requires additional expertise and 11 additional resources for our staff to analyze and 12 truly understand the ramifications that has for the 13 consumers who rely on those. 14 And so what we have discovered is that when we 15 have employees that leave, as they have 16 historically done, we have to spend a substantial 17 more time training new employees on not only what 18 we've historically done for companies, but also 19 making sure that their education evolves along with 20 the insurance industry that they are charged with 21 overseeing. 22 I certainly don't anticipate that people have 23 to come and sign a lifetime contract with the OIR 24 and work there forever, but I certainly would like 25 to create the path that those that are interested,
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 54
1 so that we can maintain some consistency from year 2 to year; so that we can keep up and make sure that 3 as the market evolves, we are also evolving. 4 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Am I reading the data 5 right, that your base is 75 and your average is 131 6 on P&C, and 110 on -- 111 on life and health? 7 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Is that number from 8 our document? 9 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: It's a summary of your 10 document. 11 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Okay. That's -- I 12 will check into it to confirm that. The statistic 13 that was convincing to me, Commissioner, is when we 14 looked at the entry-level positions that we're 15 really trying to focus on keeping. Our entry-level 16 financial examiner positions are typically -- the 17 base salary for those is about $38,000. 18 We looked at jobs in the private sector that 19 have the same type of degree expectations and 20 experience expectations, and the average salary for 21 those are anywhere between 62 and $78,000. 22 The salaries that you just mentioned are 23 probably offset. We do have some actuaries that 24 we're not -- the senior actuaries, that we're not 25 interested in adjusting salaries in those
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 55
1 situations. They seem to be competitive and are 2 long-term. 3 Some of the actuarial analysts that we hope to 4 develop into being the bench, so to speak, that can 5 step into those roles when the senior actuaries 6 leave something that we are interested in looking 7 to adjust. And so the averages that you read -- 8 and I will do a little bit more research to better 9 respond to your question, but it may be skewed 10 upwards by some of the positions that we're not 11 interested in addressing. It's really the bottom 12 levels of the organizational chart that we're 13 interested in. 14 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Yeah, I'm referring to 15 your reclass of actuary to senior actuary, and your 16 reclass of eight positions to senior actuarial 17 analyst. 18 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Okay. 19 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I mean just for -- just 20 so we're on the same page. 21 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Sure. Okay. 22 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I don't expect you to -- 23 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Yeah, I will note that 24 and certainly find a better answer for you and come 25 back to you or your staff and fill you in on that.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 56
1 But really what we're trying to address is the 2 lower parts of the organizational chart, but we'll 3 make sure we have an explanation for that as well. 4 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you. 5 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: You're welcome. 6 Additional questions on the LBR or -- 7 (NO RESPONSE). 8 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Okay. So I'll switch 9 then to the legislative issues, and this should go 10 relatively quickly because we've already kind of 11 laid the groundwork for most of them. 12 But one of the things that I'm committed to 13 playing a leadership role in during the 2017 14 legislative session is the third party property 15 claims, the water losses, the assignment of 16 benefits. Whatever you would like to characterize 17 it as, that is an issue that I am going to be 18 committed to being at the table and taking a 19 leadership role in that issue. 20 This is an issue that we discussed during the 21 appointment process, and one of the things that I 22 said to you at that point, was that the assignment 23 of benefits mechanism is a mechanism that has some 24 benefit for consumers. So it's my viewpoint that 25 legislatively the fix needs to be very surgical so
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 57
1 the consumers can still rely upon that mechanism, 2 but that we identify loopholes that could be 3 potential cost drivers and try to close them down 4 so that it works the way that it was historically 5 meant to work. And so we're going to do a 6 considerable amount of outreach to stakeholders on 7 that particular issue to make sure we have some 8 consensus on how that issue is addressed. 9 We did discuss a little bit HMOs and looking 10 at the capital standards that those health plans 11 operate under and making sure that we look at the 12 regulations that those companies abide by and make 13 sure that those are modernized to reflect the 14 change in market conditions that they are operating 15 in. 16 One of the things that we haven't spent a lot 17 of time discussing this morning are continuing care 18 retirement communities. These are communities that 19 insureds pay a significant amount of money to for 20 entrance fees, oftentimes their life savings. 21 And so we feel as if this statute could stand 22 a little bit of modernizing to make sure that the 23 regulations overseeing those, Number 1, are 24 consumer centric; and Number 2, reflect the 25 business practices of this day and age. So we're
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 58
1 going to take a look at looking at ways in which we 2 could be helpful in that arena. 3 And then we did discuss long-term care. And, 4 CFO, to your point, one of the goals that we have 5 legislatively is to look at ways that we might be 6 able to put options in for consumers that are faced 7 with these exorbitant rate increases. 8 We believe that there's got to be an option 9 other than cancel your policy or pay the rate hike. 10 So we're going to be looking at ways that we might 11 be able to establish other options that consumers 12 have that they can continue this coverage and 13 mitigate the increased rates. 14 And then, finally, we are going to spend some 15 time looking at any redundant or obsolete statutory 16 language that we might have on the books. We're 17 also going to -- it won't be a legislative effort, 18 but we're also going to look at the rules that we 19 have in place and make sure that there's nothing 20 that's redundant or inefficient and try to get some 21 of the -- and try to get some of that cleaned up. 22 So those are really the issues that I envision 23 the Office taking a leadership role on this 24 upcoming legislative session. I have two others on 25 here: Workers' compensation and PIP.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 59
1 The reason that they're on the slide is that I 2 will anticipate that those issues will come up 3 legislatively, and we want to make sure that we are 4 well positioned to act as a resource to 5 stakeholders that are interested in taking on those 6 issues and making sure that we have a voice at the 7 table and providing our input to how those work 8 streams progress. 9 So a lot of this will involve a substantial 10 amount of stakeholder engagement, which we're 11 committed to doing, as we flesh out what this 12 language might actually look like as we get close 13 to session. But that's at a high level our 14 legislative agenda, and I'm happy to take any 15 questions on that. 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Are there any questions? 17 (NO RESPONSE). 18 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Is there a motion on 19 the legislative budget request and the legislative 20 initiatives? 21 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So moved. 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 23 CFO ATWATER: Second. 24 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Florida law requires the 25 Governor to independently review legislation and
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 60
1 the budget upon passage. Accordingly, I am 2 abstaining from the vote on this item. The record 3 should reflect my abstention. 4 Any other comments or objections? 5 (NO RESPONSE). 6 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion is 7 approved with one abstention. 8 Thank you, David. 9 COMMISSIONER ALTMAIER: Thank you for your 10 time. 11 GOVERNOR SCOTT: We're going to take a break 12 until 12:45. 13 (WHEREUPON, THERE WAS A BRIEF RECESS). 14 15 16 * * * * 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

1 HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLES 2 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next I'd like to recognize 4 Terry Rhodes with the Department of Highway Safety 5 and Motor Vehicles. 6 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Good morning, 7 Governor. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hey, Terry. 9 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: General, CFO, and 10 Commissioner. 11 Today we've got four agenda items for your 12 consideration today, the first one being request 13 for approval of the May Cabinet meeting. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion on Item 1? 15 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So moved. 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 17 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 18 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 19 (NO RESPONSE). 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 21 carries. 22 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Thank you. 23 Item Number 2 is we're requesting approval of 24 our Agency's 2017 and '18 legislative budget 25 request. Currently there are -- I'd like to
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 62
1 withdraw two items there: Item Number 12 is the 2 Enterprise Content Management for 250,000; and I'd 3 like to withdraw Number 14, which is the 4 Rapid Application Development for 522,000. 5 That represents right now 13 budget items 6 totaling, with these two withdrawals, over 7 $40 million; and that's about -- 9.6 million is 8 recurring. This represents about a 3% increase, or 9 a little over 12 million from our current year 10 that's right now of $469 million. 11 And basically, it's -- primarily it's the 12 infrastructure. It's able to support our missions 13 and it's, you know, a lot of enterprise and 14 motorist modernization, so that -- it's all 15 spending authority. It's currently out of 16 trust funds, so there is no general revenue 17 associated with this. 18 And, Governor, I can go item by item, or if 19 there are any questions -- 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: I don't think so. We've all 21 seen it. Why don't we just open it for questions. 22 Does anybody have any questions? 23 CFO ATWATER: No. 24 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Reviewed it. 25 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Commissioner, do you have
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 63
1 any? 2 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: We've had some good 3 conversations with Director Rhodes and look forward 4 to following up on this. 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. All right. So is 6 there a motion on Item 2? 7 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So moved. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 9 CFO ATWATER: Second. 10 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Florida law requires the 11 Governor to independently submit budget 12 recommendations; accordingly, I am abstaining from 13 the vote on this item. The record should reflect 14 the abstention. 15 Are there any other comments or objections? 16 (NO RESPONSE). 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion is 18 approved with one abstention. 19 Item number 3, appointments. 20 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Governor, if I 21 may, there's just one item that we've been working 22 closely with the Department of Management Services 23 in reference to salary considerations for 24 law enforcement, and I know a lot of our partners 25 in the law enforcement arena were looking at that.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 64
1 So, again, working collaboratively, and then coming 2 back to you and the Cabinet to discuss that or 3 brief your offices. 4 I would, you know, like to put that as a 5 placeholder for the law enforcement salaries. 6 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Makes sense. 7 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: All right. Item 8 Number 3, we're seeking approval of appointments 9 and reappointments to our Medical Review Board. 10 This program evaluates drivers' mental and physical 11 ability to operate vehicles safely, if there are 12 any questions. 13 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion on the 14 item? 15 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So moved. 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 17 CFO ATWATER: Second. 18 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 19 (NO RESPONSE). 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 21 carries. 22 Item 4. 23 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Yes, sir, and this 24 is -- we're respectfully requesting approval of our 25 Department's Annual Performance Report. You'll
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 65
1 find my responses to the Subjective Leadership 2 Assessment at the end of the document. 3 And with your permission, you know, before we 4 start the scoring process, I'd like to give you a 5 quick snapshot of where we've ended up this year. 6 At the close of '15/'16, the Department has made 7 significant strides towards our performance 8 measures. On an average, we exceeded the target 9 for three of the measures, and remain committed to 10 reaching the others through process improvement 11 initiatives and partnership with our stakeholders. 12 Performance Measure Number 5, which is 13 customer wait times, it increased from last year by 14 more than 3%. And in Performance Measure Number 1, 15 FHP response times, we've stayed steady from last 16 year. We understand that we weren't able to hit 17 the target for Performance Measure Number 8, the 18 first-time pass rate, but we feel that with the 19 efforts that we've made in enhancing with the 20 official new Florida Handbook and increased 21 partnership about our driver education schools and 22 our providers of the test across the state, we're 23 hopeful to continue to see the number rise next 24 year. 25 And I look forward to reporting more of our
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 66
1 progress next meeting, and we'll continue to 2 analyze our processes to improve our services for 3 our citizens and our customers. 4 Governor, in an effort to proceed with the 5 scoring process, I've brought my Chief Performance 6 Officer, Larry Gowan, here to assist with the 7 scoring tabulation. And I'm not quite sure about 8 the process, but he's available here to do so. 9 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Does everybody have 10 your scoring? 11 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Yes. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. 13 MS. OLSON: Larry, do you want to collect 14 these from them, I'm guessing? 15 GOVERNOR SCOTT: I like the part of school 16 where you pass things back, get rid of them. 17 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: There's no 18 pressure, Larry. 19 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Excuse me just a second, 20 Commissioner, you want to -- 21 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Yeah, just to kind of 22 ease the tension there, Terry, while he's 23 tabulating, I want to say that with the exception 24 of those handful of ones I gave you -- 25 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Awww.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 67
1 GOVERNOR SCOTT: It's not true -- 2 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: -- I felt like your 3 narratives -- and I'm so glad that we added the 4 subjective part because it really allows us to see 5 into your management philosophy. 6 The Agency self reflection that's revealed in 7 your narrative answers, the candor: We're falling 8 short here, we've made great strides there, we 9 still have a culture that needs improvement with 10 regard to this, we continue to excel here, I felt 11 like was one of the more helpful ones that I've 12 seen of all of the agencies because it's not fluff. 13 It's a candid reflection of where you feel 14 good as leader of the Agency and the things that 15 are occupying your time because they continue to 16 need improvement; and I just -- I really appreciate 17 the thoughtfulness that you put into those answers. 18 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Thank you, 19 Commissioner. 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: I'll tell you from my 21 standpoint, I mean you can tell you really care and 22 you're constantly trying to get better, and you 23 have a wonderful group of people. I meet 24 individuals that work at Highway Safety all over 25 the state, and they love working there, and they
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 68
1 know that everybody cares about them. 2 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Thank you. We 3 care about them. And again, with the Cabinet and 4 Governor, y'all are always very supportive, and 5 thank you. Whenever there's an event or things -- 6 incidents, when calls are made, and cards are sent, 7 pictures are signed, and that means a lot to all of 8 our employees and the recognition that y'all 9 provide them, so thank you. 10 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Your professionalism 11 is really second to none. Thank you. 12 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Thank you, 13 General. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: The best state, so why 15 wouldn't it be the best? 16 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: There's nothing wrong 17 with having things other than fives on your score 18 sheet if it's an accurate reflection of where 19 you're aspiring to be. 20 Speaking of that, on the pass rate, is that 21 only for the operator's license, or is that 22 included -- or the 15-year-old test include -- 23 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: That's for the 24 Class E, the operator's -- I mean that's for the 25 learner's permit, yes.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 69
1 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So it is the 2 learner's permit? 3 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Uh-huh. 4 GOVERNOR SCOTT: So why -- you know, when I 5 was doing mine, the guys -- they always failed 6 every guy it seemed like in the driving; and in 7 contrast, every young lady always passed. 8 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I've seen that with 9 tickets too. 10 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Yeah, I've never been stopped 11 without getting a ticket, I don't think, so -- 12 That would be -- I don't know how you could do 13 better -- I don't know how your agency could do 14 better at that anyway. I think that's a hard one 15 to measure. 16 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: It was, and, 17 of course, the -- Director Jones initiated that, 18 and I really do believe it was a major improvement 19 with the new testing; and we want young and new 20 drivers to study, we do. But, again, providing the 21 tools and the information accessible for them and 22 updated information from the statistical 23 information to show them about driving behavior. 24 MS. OLSON: We're almost there. 25 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Huh? We're almost
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 70
1 there? This is tough. 2 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: You'd think ones and 3 twos would be easy to add up. 4 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Oh, my goodness. 5 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: He's going to have 6 fingers left over. 7 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Well, I think we can go ahead 8 and accept this because we're accepting the 9 reports, so -- and then you get the numbers. 10 So is there a motion to accept the report? 11 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 13 CFO ATWATER: Second. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 15 (NO RESPONSE). 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 17 carries. 18 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Thank you all. 19 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thank you. 20 21 22 * * * * 23 24 25

1 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT 2 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Now I would like 4 to recognize Rick Swearingen with the Florida 5 Department of Law Enforcement. 6 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Good afternoon. The 7 Department has four agenda items for you today. 8 First are the minutes of the August 2nd, 2016, 9 Cabinet meeting. I would respectfully request 10 approval of those minutes. 11 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion to approve? 12 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So moved. 13 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 14 CFO ATWATER: Second. 15 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Any comments or objections? 16 (NO RESPONSE). 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 18 carries. 19 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: The next item is the 20 Department's fiscal year '17/'18 legislative budget 21 request. The spreadsheet you have is a summary of 22 our legislative funding priorities for fiscal year 23 '17 and '18. 24 The total request is 20 million, representing 25 a 7% increase to our current budget. While the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 72
1 fiscal totals may change slightly as we finalize 2 our cost estimates over the next month, the 3 priorities should remain the same. 4 About 12 and a half million of the request is 5 general revenue, and nine and a half million is 6 trust funds. The Department feels confident that 7 some of these requests could be shifted away from 8 GR and into our operating trust fund. I believe 9 our request identifies areas of significant need, 10 and is consistent with my priorities, which I will 11 discuss later as part of my annual performance 12 review. 13 The requested items fall into three main focus 14 areas: Enhancing domestic security, intelligence 15 and investigations, and allocating assets to task 16 forces; Number 2, improving retention, recruitment, 17 and development of members; and third, maintaining 18 and updating Department infrastructure and 19 technology. 20 I can go through each of them separately if 21 you want, or -- 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: No, let's open it up for 23 questions if that's all right. 24 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Okay. 25 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: I've reviewed it.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 73
1 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Are there any 2 questions on the legislative budget request? 3 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I am pleased to see 4 the -- taking elements of antiterrorism legislation 5 that historically have been left to federal statute 6 and rolling it into the state that is additional -- 7 that represents an additional arrow in the quiver 8 of investigators to be partners in responding to 9 this rising threat to Floridians and to all 10 Americans. 11 And so I'm a little surprised it hasn't 12 already been done. I'm glad that you recognized it 13 and are correcting that, because I think the 14 capacity that that leverage is as a force 15 multiplier for law enforcement is very important. 16 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Absolutely. 17 Thank you, Commissioner. 18 I was a little surprised myself when I looked 19 at this. I thought Florida might be on the cutting 20 edge, and there are several states that already 21 have similar statutes, so I was a little bit 22 surprised. But I think if you listen to our 23 federal partners, Director Comey with the FBI has 24 said many, many times over the last year, they 25 cannot do this on their own, and so we have to do
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 74
1 more. 2 I was in Orlando after the Pulse shooting, the 3 morning after the shooting, and I was there for 4 that entire week. I went to many funerals with the 5 Governor. I went to the morgue. We can never let 6 that happen again here in Florida, so I will do 7 everything in my power to make sure that doesn't 8 happen, and I think these positions will help us to 9 do that. 10 GOVERNOR SCOTT: The reality is everybody has 11 got to be involved, every citizen. If you look at 12 what just happened in New York -- 13 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: That's right. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: -- we all have to start 15 watching out. Anything that looks unusual, whether 16 we like it or not, we need to call law enforcement. 17 That's their job, and they want to protect us. We 18 have a great team of law enforcement, and we're at 19 a 45 year low; but they can't do their job without, 20 you know, more people calling. 21 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: You're exactly 22 right, Governor. The incidents in New York and 23 New Jersey, had it not been for someone calling in 24 a suspicious item, those bombs would have gone off 25 during the race, which would have been similar to
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 75
1 the Boston marathon, who knows how many people 2 would have been injured. The same with, you know, 3 when he was captured, somebody saw a sleeping guy 4 on a stoop. 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: I know, isn't that 6 remarkable, they even recognized him? 7 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Called it in, so -- 8 we're reinvigorating our See Something, Say 9 Something Campaign here in Florida. 10 And Governor, you're exactly right. Citizens, 11 if you see something, say something; you have to 12 call. You know, we hear so many times after one of 13 these things: Somebody knew something, somebody 14 saw something, somebody heard something and they 15 didn't report it because they were afraid they'd be 16 labeled a racist, an Islamophobe, or crazy for just 17 being suspicious. 18 If you see something that in your gut you feel 19 is wrong, you have to say something. So I echo 20 your sentiments, Governor. 21 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Attorney General, did you 22 want to say something? 23 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Wasn't it a homeless 24 person, Commissioner, who found the suitcase? 25 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: They discovered the

1 second -- 2 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: The suitcase? It was 3 a homeless person. 4 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: The pipe bombs. 5 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Yes, ma'am. 6 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. 7 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Vigilant. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. So let's take -- 9 is there a motion on the legislative budget 10 request? 11 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So moved. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 13 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Second. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Florida law requires the 15 Governor to independently submit budget 16 recommendations. Accordingly, I am abstaining from 17 the vote on this item. The record should reflect 18 my abstention. 19 Any other comments or objections? 20 (NO RESPONSE). 21 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion is 22 approved with one abstention. 23 So on Highway Safety and FDLE, the staff is 24 going to email the scores to everybody, okay? 25 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: All right.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 77
1 Thank you. 2 So my third item is the Department's 2017 3 legislative proposal. We plan to propose three 4 pieces of legislation this year. First, we plan to 5 propose changes to the basic abilities test. This 6 test is provided to law enforcement and 7 correctional applicants prior to entering the basic 8 recruit training program. 9 The proposed language will require the 10 Department to develop and administer a single basic 11 skills test for all law enforcement and corrections 12 applicants across the state. This test is 13 currently offered by three different vendors 14 statewide, resulting in significant inconsistencies 15 in content and cost. 16 Second, we plan to propose language that 17 criminalizes certain terrorism-related activities 18 at the state level to provide Florida's 19 law enforcement authorities with a series of tools 20 to hopefully prevent future terrorist activities. 21 Our current threat environment has seen a vast 22 expansion in an evolution of terrorist-related 23 threats in recent years. It is imperative that our 24 law enforcement officials have similar authority to 25 investigate and prosecute criminal matters
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 78
1 concerning domestic security. 2 The proposed provisions aim to 3 constitutionally -- aim to be constitutionally 4 sound and assure a balance between providing 5 greater capabilities to law enforcement while 6 protecting the Constitutional Rights of our 7 citizens. Much of the proposed language stems from 8 the tools used by Federal agencies and prosecutors 9 in attacking terrorism. 10 And third, as you know, the Department is 11 charged with investigating use of force and death 12 investigations in Department of Corrections 13 facilities. An important part of these 14 investigations are the inmates' medical records. 15 Currently there are three ways our investigators 16 may obtain this information: Written consent, 17 subpoena with notice, and search warrant. 18 Each of the three significantly inhibits our 19 ability to conduct efficient and effective 20 investigations. The proposed language would allow 21 FDC staff to provide inmate medical or treatment 22 records to our investigators for official purposes 23 only. 24 I'm happy to answer any questions about 25 Item 3.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 79
1 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Are there any questions? 2 (NO RESPONSE). 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion on the 4 third item? 5 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So move. 6 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 7 CFO ATWATER: Second. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Florida law requires the 9 Governor to independently review legislation upon 10 passage. Accordingly, I'm abstaining from the 11 vote. The record should reflect it. 12 Any other comments or objections? 13 (NO RESPONSE). 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion is 15 approved with one abstention. 16 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Thank you. 17 My final item is the annual performance report 18 and leadership assessment and contracts over 19 100,000 for April 1st through June 30th, 2016. 20 As part of the Cabinet governance process, we 21 identified nine performance accountability measures 22 that would help gauge Agency performance. 23 Over the past year, we've provided quarterly 24 status updates on these measures. Our annual 25 performance was pretty consistent with those
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 80
1 updates achieving five for five of our measures; 2 fours for two of the measures; and Performance 3 Measures 4 and 5, both indicators of information 4 services performance, was rated as average, or 5 three. 6 The standard with which we handle criminal 7 history record checks, Measure Number 4, was 8 negatively impacted by an unexpected increase in 9 firearms purchase program checks this year. That 10 was following Pulse. 11 In fiscal year '15/'16, the Department 12 processed over three and a half million checks, 13 almost 1 million for gun purchases. That's about 14 180,000 more checks for gun purchases than the 15 previous year. Most of this increase occurred 16 during the second half of the year. 17 And regarding Measure 5, the standard to 18 process fingerprints was impacted by those 19 instances in which records coming to us are not 20 electronic. Most of the fingerprints we receive 21 now are digital and electronic; however, there are 22 some that still send them in and require us to do a 23 manual review. 24 As a result, our members must manually 25 research the data to make or deny an identity. Of
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 81
1 the 700,000 searches conducted last year, only 2 about 20,000 exceeded the 10-minute standard. 3 Still, we averaged less than five minutes overall. 4 As we digitize more historic fingerprints, 5 this measure can be expected to improve. I am 6 happy to report one of the fives received was for 7 the percentage of customers with a positive service 8 rating. This was a new measure. 9 In April we conducted an online survey of the 10 state's 403 police departments, sheriff's offices, 11 state attorneys, and state law enforcement 12 agencies; 48% responded, and 97% of those expressed 13 a positive service rating for FDLE. We gleaned a 14 lot of very useful information from this survey. 15 Finally, I would like to propose eliminating 16 Measure 3 for fiscal year '16 and '17 because the 17 data is tracked biannually. 10% weighting of this 18 measure would be redistributed amongst a couple of 19 other measures. We would then plan to bring it 20 back in two years. 21 If there are no questions regarding the 22 performance measures, I'd like to close with some 23 general comments regarding the past year. 24 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Everybody okay? Let's do 25 that first, and then we'll do the --
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 82
1 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: In 2015 I stood at 2 this podium and provided my six-month status 3 report. At that time I indicated that I did not 4 believe I had inherited a broken agency, but I felt 5 it was time for FDLE to refocus, reprioritize, and 6 renew. That has evolved internal and external 7 actions. 8 I also identified eight priorities, both 9 short-term and long-term, including establishing 10 cyber crime capabilities; enhancing intelligence 11 and domestic security partnerships and 12 investigations; leveraging new analytical 13 capabilities to better utilize data and 14 information; allocating additional assets to public 15 safety task forces; maintaining public confidence 16 and professional standards in the character of our 17 peace officers; providing objective use of force 18 and in-custody death investigations; evaluating the 19 Department's infrastructure; updating technology 20 facilities and equipment; and improving 21 recruitment, retention, and development of members. 22 I believe we have made significant progress. 23 Last session, the Legislature allocated 24 approximately $1.7 million for additional resources 25 to conduct use of force in-custody death
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 83
1 investigations statewide, and 4 million to help us 2 better recruit and retain our crime lab analysts. 3 I'm happy to report since that -- since July 4 when those pay raises went into effect, we have 5 rehired three of our own analysts that left us to 6 go to another lab, and three additional analysts 7 that came from other labs that are fully trained so 8 we don't have the -- whatever the timeframe in that 9 discipline would be. In biology that's up to 10 two years, so we're already seeing significant 11 progress in that. 12 Meanwhile, the immediacy and points of a 13 couple of priorities were crystallized over the 14 past year. What happened in Orlando on the morning 15 of June 12th, 2016, shook us all, it did not break 16 us; and it convinced me and my team that we can and 17 must do more to protect our state. That's why 18 increasing our counterterrorism resources, 19 improving our laws will be my Number 1 priority 20 this upcoming Session; and with your support, I aim 21 to be successful. 22 As indicated in response in the subjective 23 portion of my performance review, public safety is 24 a shared responsibility. That's how we have a 25 45-year low in our state's crime rate. The ability
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 84
1 of you and our legislators as policymakers and the 2 local chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors, state and 3 federal criminal justice agencies across the state 4 to communicate and collaborate is key. 5 That is also something we saw in response to 6 the Orlando terrorist attack, our ability to come 7 together and rise to the challenge. I feel 8 privileged to stand here and represent the fine men 9 and women of the Department of Law Enforcement. 10 I'm happy to answer any additional questions 11 you might have about Item 4. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Are there any 13 questions? Commissioner. 14 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I don't have a question, 15 Governor, I have a comment. 16 Commissioner, to say that the events in your 17 tenure have been challenging would be an 18 understatement, and I believe that you have 19 excelled in your role. All of the things that I 20 said about the candor and Agency-wide 21 self-reflection revealed in the evaluation of 22 Highway Safety, I would also apply to yours: Your 23 emphasis on refocusing and reprioritizing and 24 renewing the mission and rebuilding the morale of 25 your agency and doing all of that in extraordinary
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 85
1 events that have befallen Florida since you've 2 become Commissioner, and you have -- your level of 3 communication with all four of us -- I mean I'm 4 making a sweeping generalization here, but as 5 revealed by your communication with me has been 6 exceptional. I mean you have recognized the 7 Cabinet role in this. 8 I have felt like you have been very accessible 9 and have communicated in a timely way with critical 10 information that we needed to know, your staff is 11 always available for follow-up, and I feel very 12 good about the trajectory that FDLE is on; and 13 Floridians can feel very good about that, not just 14 borne out in the statistics of a 45-year crime low, 15 but in knowing how swiftly and thoroughly and 16 professionally you respond to crises large and 17 small, and the partnerships that you have 18 strengthened with our local law enforcement. 19 So thank you for your good work, and keep it 20 up. 21 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Thank you, 22 Commissioner, I truly appreciate that. 23 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Just to add to that, 24 Governor, if I may. 25 And how well you and Highway Patrol work
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 86
1 together. I have not always seen that, and that's 2 amazing, and thank you for protecting all of us in 3 this state. 4 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Thank you. 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: CFO. 6 CFO ATWATER: Thank you. 7 Commissioner, I'd like to echo the same, and I 8 really wish I'd taken a moment when -- before Terry 9 had stepped aside as well. She's still here? I 10 hope that if people will take the time to go back 11 and read what both of you have submitted to us in 12 the narrative to talk about your management, your 13 commitment, your goals, expectations, as has been 14 mentioned, very frank, the kind of candor you just 15 don't see people willing to make. Because once 16 it's written, it's for everyone to see, and y'all 17 have done that. The need for change, the 18 challenges with change, change that's coming, 19 change you've initiated, that has been very, very 20 refreshing. And so I, too, would just like to 21 express my compliments and my appreciation for your 22 leadership. 23 I would -- if you're asking, and being that 24 this is the annual, I'd certainly be happy to 25 accept, or if you're ready for us to act upon the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 87
1 elimination of Number 3 in the coming year and to 2 distribute that 10% around, I'm looking at it and I 3 think your assessment is fine. 4 So, Governor, now or at another date -- I 5 wouldn't want him to wonder whether or not we're 6 going to accept this recommendation. 7 GOVERNOR SCOTT: So on the motion we're 8 accepting -- so you're making a motion that we 9 accept the change? 10 CFO ATWATER: Uh-huh. 11 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 12 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Second. 13 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Any comments or 14 objections? 15 (NO RESPONSE). 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 17 carries. 18 I think all of us appreciate, Rick, that 19 you're accessible, you take the job seriously, 20 you've built a -- you have an outstanding team that 21 you work with, and you're going to do everything 22 you can to keep us safe. 23 But we're in a tough time in this world, lots 24 of people that want to do mean things to us, and if 25 all of us, not just FDLE and Highway Safety and
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 88
1 sheriff departments and police departments, if we 2 don't all understand that there's a lot of people 3 who want to do evil things to us, we're going to 4 get hurt again. 5 Anybody that was around the Pulse attack, it's 6 devastating what happened to those families, so I 7 don't -- none of us want that to ever happen again. 8 But thank you very much for all of your hard 9 work. 10 COMMISSIONER SWEARINGEN: Thank you, Governor. 11 And I truly appreciate the support of all four of 12 you, and this truly goes to my team. I say this 13 every time, not to insult any other state agency, 14 but I truly work for the best state agency, and we 15 have the greatest state employees in the state, so 16 thank you all. 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thanks. 18 19 20 * * * * 21 22 23 24 25

1 DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE 2 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next I'd like to recognize 4 Leon Biegalski with the Department of Revenue. 5 Good afternoon, Leon. 6 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Good afternoon. 7 Thank you, Governor Scott, Attorney General Bondi, 8 CFO Atwater, Commissioner Putnam. 9 We've got five agenda items for you today. 10 The first one is the Department respectfully 11 requests approval of the minutes of the 12 January 21st, March 29th, and May 10th, 2016, 13 Cabinet meetings. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion to approve 15 on the item? 16 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 18 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 19 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 20 (NO RESPONSE). 21 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 22 carries. 23 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Our second 24 item, the Department respectfully submits the 25 fourth quarter performance report for the fiscal
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 90
1 year '15/'16. The Department is meeting or 2 exceeding all of our measures. 3 While I'm at this point, Commissioner Putnam, 4 I think you were referring to me earlier, and I 5 just wanted to follow up with you from that comment 6 from the May 10th meeting. 7 At that time I told you that I was five weeks 8 in and still trying to take a look at what I had 9 inherited in terms of performance measures, and at 10 least at this point, the conclusion that I've come 11 to is that we're going to stick with what we had. 12 Having said that though, I have talked to the 13 program directors about figuring out whether or not 14 there are any particular additional items or 15 things -- measures that maybe need to change, maybe 16 some of our measures are not stretching enough, and 17 to start measuring those things now so that we can 18 figure out whether or not that is an appropriate 19 measure next year, presumably at my annual 20 performance measure review. 21 I've got one in particular that, based on the 22 raw numbers, kind of skews all the rest of the 23 numbers, so I'm not sure if it's an accurate 24 measure. 25 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Is it -- so on Item 2,
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 91
1 is there anything else you'd like to say, or just 2 open it up for questions? 3 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: I've got 4 nothing additional, sorry, Governor. 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. All right. Are there 6 any questions on the fourth quarter performance 7 report? 8 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: You've been doing a 9 great job. Thank you. 10 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Thank you. 11 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Is there a motion 12 to accept the report? 13 CFO ATWATER: So move. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 15 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 17 (NO RESPONSE). 18 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 19 carries. 20 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Our third item, 21 the Department respectfully requests approval to 22 publish a notice of proposed rule for a rule 23 relating to property tax oversight, 24 Rule 12D-16.002, index to forms, would be amended 25 to create and revise various forms to reflect
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 92
1 statutory changes enacted in Chapter 2016-12(a) of 2 the Laws of Florida, and it will also repeal an 3 obsolete form. 4 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Is there a motion 5 to approve on this item? 6 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 7 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 8 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 9 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 10 (NO RESPONSE). 11 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 12 carries. 13 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Okay. Our 14 fourth item is our annual -- our legislative budget 15 request. So the Department respectively submits 16 the legislative budget request for the '17/'18 17 year. There are four new items in there, two 18 related to property tax, one related to general 19 tax, and then the last item related to child 20 support. I don't know how much more detail you 21 want. 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Are there any 23 questions? 24 (NO RESPONSE). 25 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 93
1 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Are we on the LBR or the 2 legislative -- 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: LBR. 4 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: On the LBR. 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Item 4. 6 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: And the majority are 7 trust fund dollars. 8 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I'm okay with that. 9 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Is there a motion to 10 approve on Item 4? 11 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 13 CFO ATWATER: Second. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Florida law requires the 15 Governor to independently submit budget 16 recommendations; accordingly, I'm abstaining from 17 the vote. The record should reflect that. 18 Any other comments or objections? 19 (NO RESPONSE). 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion is 21 approved with one abstention. 22 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Okay. And we 23 come to our fifth item, which is the Department 24 respectfully submits the Agency's 2017 proposed 25 legislative concepts.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 94
1 Contained within there, there are five 2 concepts that would eliminate certain fees; two 3 that eliminate unnecessary reporting and notice 4 requirements; two more that are improvements to -- 5 or improvements in the reemployment tax 6 administration; and then the final item has to do 7 with an operational improvement as it relates to 8 the administration of the dates regarding the rate 9 changes for certain of the ninth cent and local 10 option fuel taxes. It would provide some clarity 11 to both the Department of Revenue and the locals. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Are there any questions? 13 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Governor, I'd just -- 14 sort of like one of the earlier issues, it's hard 15 to believe some of these are still around; but I 16 really commend you for scrubbing your statutes and 17 finding opportunities. 18 You know, you indicate that the net fiscal on 19 your fee reductions, fee eliminations is $164,000. 20 There's got to be an offset of all the time that 21 your folks have been chasing down these cats and 22 dogs of 5 and 10 bucks and 30 bucks, that not only 23 is going to save your agency money but it's 24 streamlining the business climate in Florida. 25 And so I appreciate you going to the effort of
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 95
1 identifying these opportunities and bringing them 2 to our attention. I hope you're successful with 3 the legislative session. I kind of like your 4 chances. 5 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: I hope we are 6 too. And this exercise actually caused us to come 7 across some other things that I think we have 8 identified generally that will give us even more of 9 an opportunity to dig into and see whether or not 10 there are more. These were readily identifiable, 11 and I would say easy to come up with explanations 12 for the impact. 13 Some of the other items, like I said, are a 14 little bit more in-depth, but I think that we can 15 get there; and hopefully, you know, whether it's 16 next year or through rulemaking, find some more -- 17 get through some more items. 18 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Is there a motion 19 on the item? 20 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So moved. 21 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 22 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Second. 23 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Florida law requires the 24 Governor to independently review legislation upon 25 passage; accordingly, I'm abstaining from the vote,

1 and the record should reflect the abstention. 2 Any other comments or objections? 3 (NO RESPONSE). 4 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion is 5 approved with one abstention. 6 Thanks, Leon. 7 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Thank you. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good job. 9 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Thank you. 10 11 12 * * * * 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

1 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS 2 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next we have -- I'm looking 4 at the wrong side. 5 All right. Next I'd like to recognize 6 Glenn Sutphin with the Department of Veterans' 7 Affairs. 8 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUTPHIN: Good afternoon, 9 Governor Scott, CFO -- or General Bondi, 10 CFO Atwater, and Commissioner Putnam. 11 The Department of Veterans Affairs has four 12 agenda items for your consideration today. Item 13 Number 1 is the minutes from the March 29, 2016, 14 Cabinet meeting. Respectfully request approval, 15 sir. 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion on the 17 item? 18 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 19 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 20 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 21 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 22 (NO RESPONSE). 23 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 24 carries. 25 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUTPHIN: Item 2, sir, is
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 98
1 the Agency legislative budget request for 2 FY 2017/2018. There are 15 issues, sir, and they 3 support the operations and goals and objectives of 4 the Agency, which is to support veterans. And I 5 will be glad to go through those, sir, if you would 6 like for me to. 7 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Has everybody had the chance 8 to look at them? 9 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Uh-huh. 10 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Is there a motion 11 on the item? 12 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 13 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 14 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 15 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Florida law requires the 16 Governor to independently submit budget 17 recommendations; accordingly, I'm abstaining. The 18 record should reflect that. 19 Any other comments or objections? 20 (NO RESPONSE). 21 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion is 22 approved with one abstention. 23 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SUTPHIN: Agenda 3 is the 24 Agency legislative proposals for 2017. This year 25 we have two Agency proposals, sir, policy
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 99
1 proposals. The first one updates the Agency's 2 organizational statute to include a Division of 3 Homes. I don't know why it hasn't been there 4 before. 5 The second proposal expands the authorized use 6 of funds from the Operations Maintenance Trust Fund 7 within the Agency to include construction, 8 renovation, and it ties into the Department of 9 Highway and Motor Vehicles' statute regarding the 10 funds from the women's veterans license plates. 11 Neither of the two proposals have any fiscal 12 impacts, sir, they're merely administrative changes 13 and updates. 14 Respectfully request you approve. 15 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion on the 16 item? 17 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So move. 18 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 19 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Second. 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Florida law requires the 21 Governor to independently review legislation upon 22 passage; accordingly, I'm going to abstain, so the 23 record should reflect the abstention. 24 Any other comments or objections? 25 (NO RESPONSE).

The Veterans' Hall of Fame 7 recognizes and honors those military veterans who 8 their works and lives during or after military 9 service have made a significant contribution to the 10 State of Florida through civic, business, public 11 service, and other pursuits. 12 It's not a traditional military hall of fame 13 as it focuses mainly on post military contributions 14 to the State of Florida. On June 28th the Florida 15 Veterans' Hall of Fame Council met in open session 16 to select nominees for the class of 2016 from 17 48 packets submitted by the general public. 18 Following public input, deliberations, 19 11 finalists were selected by the Council to be 20 transmitted to the Florida Department of Veterans' 21 Affairs for submission to you today. 22 During the meeting of the Hall of Fame 23 Council, recommended the waiver of the requirement 24 for Colonel Washington Sanchez to have been 25 two years removed from employment before

1 BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE 2 INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT TRUST FUND 3 4 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next I'd like to recognize 5 Gary Clark with the Department of -- 6 You're back. 7 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: I'm back. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: -- Environmental Protection. 9 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Good afternoon, 10 Governor and Cabinet. For the record, I'm 11 Gary Clark, Deputy Secretary of Land and Recreation 12 for the Department of Environmental Protection. 13 The Board of Trustees has six items on the 14 agenda today. Item Number 1 is a request to convey 15 sovereignty submerged lands within the Ezell Beach 16 area through a land exchange with affected property 17 owners due to impacts from the Storm of the Century 18 in 1993. 19 In 1995 and 2012, the Board of Trustees 20 approved similar conveyances in sovereignty 21 submerged lands to property owners in Dekle and 22 Keaton Beach that were impacted by the Storm of the 23 Century. DEP staff has determined that nearby 24 Ezell Beach property owners were also impacted by 25 this storm.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 110
1 DEP offers the following to assist the Board 2 in its determination that it is in the public 3 interest to convey these sovereign submerged lands. 4 Number 1, the Board of Trustees will receive 5 quitclaim deeds for the remainder of the lands 6 described in the affected landowners' deeds; 7 Number 2, the affected landowners will commit to 8 connecting all newly constructed and reconstructed 9 homes to the existing sewer lines. The Ezell Beach 10 property owners will also have deed restriction 11 requiring the property to be used only for 12 residential purposes. 13 Approval of this item does not supersede or 14 eliminate any local, state, or federal permitting 15 requirements. With us today in support of this 16 item, we have the following individuals from 17 Taylor County: Mr. Jody Devain (phonetics), 18 Mr. Verian Sutton (phonetics), and Mr. Beau Fender. 19 The Department recommends approval of the 20 item. 21 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Is there a motion 22 on the item? 23 CFO ATWATER: So moved. 24 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 25 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Second.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 111
1 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Any comments or objections? 2 (NO RESPONSE). 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 4 carries. 5 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Item Number 2 is a 6 request for a release of restriction and reverter 7 from a 1951 Board of Trustees' deed to an 8 approximately 50-acre parcel owned by 9 Okechobee County. The state conveyed this property 10 to the county with a restriction and reverter 11 clause that prohibits the parcel from being sold, 12 conveyed, or leased to any private person, firm, or 13 corporation for any private use or purpose, or it 14 will revert back to the state. 15 The county is now considering a public/private 16 partnership in an effort to redevelop its property 17 in this area to benefit the local economy. A 18 request for proposal is being planned, but the 19 restriction and reverter clause limits the private 20 partnership opportunities that can be considered by 21 the county. The county will pay the current 22 appraised value of $525,000 for the release of the 23 restriction and reverter. These funds will be 24 deposited into the Internal Improvement Trust Fund. 25 Commissioner Terry Burroughs would like to
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 112
1 briefly address the Board in support of this item. 2 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good afternoon. 3 COMMISSIONER BURROUGHS: Good afternoon, 4 Governor and Cabinet. First of all, I'd like to 5 tell you that Commissioner Irby sends his regards. 6 He had some personal conflicts in his schedule, so 7 he's been texting me and making sure that I am here 8 and behaving myself. 9 But basically, on behalf of the citizens of 10 Okechobee County and the Board of County 11 Commissioners, we thank you for the opportunity to 12 speak with you today. 13 First I wish to thank the Agency staff who 14 have diligently worked with us throughout the 15 entire process; and as you're well aware, 16 Okechobee County is located within the designated 17 rural area of opportunity by which I'm the Chairman 18 of the South Central Rural Area of Opportunity. 19 And as such, we're continually looking for 20 opportunities to facilitate growth and job 21 re-creation which blends with the rural character 22 of our community. 23 This project accomplishes that very goal, and 24 we are excited to continue moving forward with the 25 private businesses who are prepared to move forward
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 113
1 at this site. This agreement will allow Okechobee 2 to attract visitors to experience all our community 3 has to offer. While this project represents a 4 significant and positive step for Okechobee County, 5 we're also recognized and looking forward to work 6 with the Cabinet and the Legislature in continuing 7 to improve and refine rural economic development to 8 ensure that we are using every opportunity to bring 9 jobs back to rural Florida. 10 Again, thank you for this opportunity on 11 behalf of the Okechobee County Commission and the 12 citizens. We ask for your favorable support on 13 this particular project. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thank you. 15 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Governor, the 16 Department recommends approval. 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion on the 18 item? 19 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 21 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Second. 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Any comments or objections? 23 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: This is an outstanding 24 opportunity for Okechobee County. It's very 25 exciting, and we hope that you'll move

1 expeditiously to get your potential new tenant in 2 there. 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Hearing none, the 4 motion carries. 5 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Thank you. 6 Item Number 3 is an option agreement to 7 acquire approximately 616 acres within the 8 Wolf Creek Florida Forever Project from the 9 Trust for Public Land, an authority to place a 10 restrictive easement on the property in favor of 11 the Department of the Navy. 12 The property is being acquired in cooperation 13 with the Federal Repee Program. Acquisition of 14 this property will conserve and protect wildlife 15 species, provide recreational activities, encourage 16 sustainably managed silviculture practices, while 17 also safeguarding mission flexibility and 18 operational continuity at Whiting Field. 19 The purchase price for this parcel is 20 1.5 million, which is $0.79 -- 79% of approved 21 value. If approved, the Navy may contribute up to 22 1.125 million or 75%, which would make the Board's 23 portion 375,000 or 25%. The survey will determine 24 the final acreage at a cost of $2,435 per acre. 25 The site will be managed by the Florida Forest

1 Service as an addition to the Blackwater River 2 State Forest. 3 We do have a few speakers that would like to 4 speak briefly in support of this agenda item. 5 First we have Mr. Vernon Compton, Project Director 6 with the Long Leaf Alliance. 7 Mr. Compton. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good afternoon. 9 MR. COMPTON: Good afternoon, Governor, 10 Cabinet. 11 I really appreciate the opportunity to speak 12 with you today about a very important land 13 acquisition project in Santa Rosa County, a part of 14 the Wolf Creek Florida Forever project. 15 Over 20 years ago, a group of public and 16 private landowners started working together to 17 restore the long leaf ecosystem. The partners have 18 collaborated on projects ranging from prescribed 19 fire to invasive species control, to restoring 20 habitat for rare and endangered species; and other 21 priorities that included projects like land 22 acquisition projects, either through fee simple or 23 easements, in key areas, such as wildlife 24 corridors, base buffering projects, and this is one 25 of those.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 116
1 It is the top ranked project in this 2 partnership in northwest Florida and south Alabama. 3 It's grown to now 15 public and private landowners, 4 and collectively they manage over 1.25 million 5 acres, so they work together quite a bit. 6 One of the things I wanted to point out 7 because the State of Florida is recognized really 8 as a model when it comes to base buffering 9 projects, working with the military in areas just 10 like this project that you're considering today. 11 And I think that one of the key things that really 12 hit home with me was a National Defense Research 13 Institute, research brief. It's called The Thin 14 Green Line, and it highlights what you've done so 15 well here in the State of Florida. 16 It basically says that encroachment stems from 17 two main sources: Sprawl and loss of biodiversity 18 are the fundamental causes of most encroachment. 19 The former occurs as housing, retirement 20 communities, and other developments are built near 21 military bases resulting in complaints and 22 constraints on testing and training operations. 23 Loss of biodiversity can also affect 24 operations by causing species on military bases to 25 become threatened or endangered, which can also
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 117
1 limit testing or training. So thanks to the 2 efforts in the State of Florida, that doesn't occur 3 as much as it occurs in other states; and I really 4 commend you for that. 5 I'd like to thank you for addressing that 6 aggressively, and I think in supporting this 7 project today you'll be continuing that effort. 8 It's a win for the environment, but it's really a 9 win for base buffering and protecting Naval Air 10 Station, Whiting Field, so thank you. 11 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thank you. 12 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Next, 13 Commander Eric Sibe, Air Operations Officer, Naval 14 Air Station Whiting Field, would also like to make 15 a few remarks. 16 Commander. 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good afternoon, Commander. 18 COMMANDER SIBE: Good afternoon, Governor, 19 Attorney General, and Commissioners, thank you for 20 your time today. 21 As a representative of the commanding officer 22 of NAS Whiting Field, I'd like to thank you 23 personally for your relationship with us in this 24 partnering agreement. The Florida Forever Program 25 provides opportunities for the conservation of
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 118
1 lands as well as the encroachment partnering. 2 Our partnership is actually allotted 3 throughout the entire Department of Defense as a 4 role model program, and it's been echoed many a 5 time that other bases should take our model with 6 what we have with the partnership of the State of 7 Florida. 8 The parcels identified in the Wolf Creek 9 project play a vital role in preserving a critical 10 habitat, as well as protecting our mission of 11 training Naval aviators. These particular parcels 12 are directed -- located underneath noise contours, 13 as well as flight tracks that are directly -- 14 excuse me -- departures and arrivals into our 15 air field. 16 NAS Whiting Field and our surrounding outlying 17 landing air fields conduct 1.1 million flight 18 operations a year. 65% of all primary flight 19 training is conducted at our bases -- or our base. 20 In addition, all the Navy, Marine Corps, 21 Coast Guard helicopter pilots are given their Wings 22 of Gold or earn their Wings of Gold here at 23 NAS Whiting Field. 24 So your cooperation in managing development 25 buffers are crucial for us to complete our vital
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 119
1 training in a safe manner. 2 Thank you very much. 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thank you. 4 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Commander, thank you 5 for everything you do. 6 COMMANDER SIBE: Thank you. 7 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: The Department 8 recommends approval. 9 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Is there a motion 10 on the item? 11 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 13 CFO ATWATER: Second. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Comments or objections? 15 (NO RESPONSE). 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 17 carries. 18 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Item Number 4 is a 19 request for consideration of an option agreement to 20 acquire a nonconservation base buffering 21 restrictive easement over approximately 25.2 acres 22 from Florida Rock and Tank Lines. 23 In 2012, 288.987(2) of Florida Statute was 24 amended to define the mission of the Florida 25 Defense Task Force to make recommendations that
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 120
1 preserve and protect military installations. 2 In 2013, based on properties identified by 3 base commanders to prevent encroachment, the 4 Task Force recommended the acquisition of three 5 Tier 1 parcels: Florida Rock, McDill Air Force 6 Base; Barefoot Palms, Naval support activity in 7 Panama City; and Jax Port, Naval Station Mayport. 8 In 2014, the Legislature appropriated 9 seven and a half million dollars to acquire these 10 three Tier 1 parcels for the purpose of securing 11 and protecting these installations against 12 encroachments. 13 The consideration before the Board today for 14 the Florida Rock/McDill restrictive easement is 15 1.34 million. This acquisition will purchase 16 property interests within the accident potential 17 zone and will also provide development restrictions 18 to remove incompatible uses. 19 Specifically, this easement will prohibit and 20 prevent any residential development or use within 21 the entire 25.2 acres and prohibit and prevent any 22 construction of hotels or motels on the southern 23 10.8 acres of the property immediately adjacent to 24 the main runway. The subject parcel will be 25 monitored by the Department of Air Force,
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 121
1 McDill Air Force Base. 2 Our first speaker, Colonel Retired Bruce Grant 3 with Enterprise Florida. 4 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good afternoon. 5 COLONEL GRANT: Good afternoon, Governor and 6 members of the Cabinet. It's a pleasure to be 7 here. 8 I am the Executive Director for the 9 Florida Defense Task Force. You just heard the 10 mission, and I'm here to tell you on behalf of the 11 Task Force, the Task Force wholeheartedly supports 12 the acquisition of the easement that is in front of 13 you today. 14 And let me tell you a couple of reasons why. 15 First of all, any residential development of this 16 parcel called Florida Rock would put the flying 17 mission at McDill Air Force Base at great risk. 18 And what do I mean by that? 19 As you know, they fly tankers. Tankers refuel 20 fighter aircraft. We would not have the fighter 21 aircraft come to McDill anymore because the tankers 22 would be gone. So there would be no more flying 23 mission at McDill Air Force Base, and that's a huge 24 potential that we're looking at. 25 Second, I would tell you that the Task Force
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 122
1 in the past contracted for an assessment of all of 2 the bases. Back in 2012, they made a complete 3 assessment of all of the bases and to include 4 McDill Air Force Base, and they believe -- the 5 folks who did that came back and looked at it again 6 and said, yes, you're right, any development in 7 that area would put this base at great risk for a 8 future BRAC. 9 Right now we think there's a possibility of a 10 BRAC in 2019; but even without a BRAC, as you all 11 know, the Department of Defense has been 12 downsizing, reducing budgets, looking to reduce 13 footprints all over. So if there's some reason why 14 the Department of Defense could move tankers away 15 from McDill Air Force Base, they would; and if 16 those tankers moved away, they would never come 17 back. 18 So the Task Force -- on behalf of the 19 Task Force, whose Chair is Representative 20 Clay Ingram; we've got Senator Richter on the Task 21 Force, as you know; Representative Rich Workman; 22 and Representative Danny Young. They're all 23 strongly behind this, along with all of the Task 24 Force members. And I would tell you that they felt 25 so strongly, they put it in the Task Force
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 123
1 strategic plan, which has been published and is out 2 there on a website. 3 And finally I tell you in closing that the 4 buffering provided by these types of lands are 5 critical to protecting the ability of our military 6 to train the way they need to fight. Without the 7 buffering encroachment protection, it would put 8 McDill at great risk of losing their flying 9 mission. 10 And finally, I'd just like to thank both DEO 11 and DEP for the great work they've done on this to 12 bring it to your attention thus far. It's been a 13 long hard slog, it's very important to the 14 Task Force, and I think to the military in Florida. 15 Thank you, Mr. Governor. 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thank you. 17 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Also, Colonel 18 Patrick Miller, Commander of the 6th Mission 19 Support Group at McDill Air Force Base, would like 20 to speak on the item. 21 Colonel. 22 COLONEL MILLER: Thank you. 23 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good afternoon. 24 COLONEL MILLER: Good afternoon, Governor, 25 Cabinet. On behalf of Colonel April Vogel of the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 124
1 6th Air Mobility Wing Commander, we thank you for 2 taking this issue seriously. 3 It's the policy of the Department of Defense 4 to promote health, safety, and welfare of persons 5 in the vicinity of air installations by minimizing 6 aircraft noise and safety impacts without degrading 7 flight safety and mission requirements. 8 It is also a DOD policy to promote long-term 9 compatible land use in the vicinity of air 10 installations by encouraging state and local 11 governments to adopt enabling legislation and 12 compatible land-use regulation into their land-use 13 planning and control processes and by partnering 14 with communities and other eligible entities to 15 protect land through restrictive use in 16 conservation easements. 17 We have pursued these objectives for the 18 Florida Rock parcel in various forms and believe 19 your efforts today are an important step in the 20 process. A brief understanding of the air 21 installation compatible use zone, or ACUZ Program, 22 in the location of the Florida Rock parcel is 23 important to our position on the proposed 24 restrictive easement. 25 The ACUZ Program objective is to define what
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 125
1 the DOD believes to be compatible uses of land 2 areas in clear zones, accident potential zones, and 3 land areas exposed to high levels of noise from 4 aircraft operation. 5 McDill published our ACUZ study, which 6 included recommended land uses in areas surrounding 7 the installation to reduce potential impacts of 8 flight operations of the installation and preserve 9 the safety of our neighbors. We previously shared 10 that study with state and local governments. 11 The location of the Florida Rock parcel 12 presents both land use and noise exposure concerns. 13 The parcel abuts McDill in an area directly in line 14 with our active runway. The southern boundary of 15 the Florida Rock property is in an area known as 16 the Clear Zone, with the remainder of the property 17 in what is known as Accident Potential Zone 1 or 18 APZ 1. 19 The Clear Zone begins at the end of the runway 20 and goes on for 3,000 feet. It's the area of 21 highest accident potential and has few uses that 22 are compatible. APZ 1 extends for a further 23 5,000 feet beyond the clear zone. APZ 1 is an area 24 of lower but still considerable accident potential. 25 Land use capability in the clear zone and APZ 1 is
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 126
1 founded on the concept of minimizing the density of 2 land use in the vicinity of air installations. 3 In addition to limiting density, certain types 4 of land uses such as residential development, 5 educational facilities, hotels and motels, medical 6 facilities, shopping centers, and other uses that 7 include high concentrations of people are 8 considered incompatible and strongly discouraged. 9 The Florida Rock parcel is also in a high 10 noise area, defined as an area with noise levels of 11 65 decibels or higher. Recommendations for 12 compatible land uses in high noise areas are based 13 on minimizing the effects of noise on people and 14 structures in proximity to the installation. 15 High noise contour areas are mapped and shared 16 with the community as part of the ACUZ study. It's 17 our understanding that the proposed easement places 18 restrictions on using the Florida Rock parcel for 19 any residential development, and a number of other 20 incompatible uses. 21 We're grateful for the state's efforts to 22 reduce or eliminate incompatible land uses in the 23 Florida Rock parcel and believe the proposed 24 easement is a solid step towards preventing future 25 development of the Florida Rock parcel for uses
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 127
1 that are incompatible with the clear zone and APZ 1 2 and incompatible with high noise areas. 3 But we also understand the easement doesn't 4 prevent the future construction of a hotel or motel 5 on approximately 14.7 acres of the northern portion 6 of the parcel, which is still in APZ 1. Air Force 7 and DOD guidelines lists this as incompatible use 8 within APZ 1 and incompatible in high noise areas; 9 and on that basis, we'd not be able to support 10 future land use recognizing that it's ultimately a 11 decision for state and local authorities. 12 Once again, on behalf Colonel Vogel, we 13 appreciate the efforts the state is making to help 14 reduce encroachment and safety concerns inherent 15 with having development off the end of our runway. 16 I know this is not an easy process, and one that 17 many communities struggle with at other military 18 installations. 19 We are grateful for your efforts to address 20 the risks to our neighbors and the potential 21 impacts to our flying operations. The steps you 22 are taking with this restrictive easement will 23 eliminate a significant number of incompatible 24 developments on the Florida Rock parcel. Please 25 understand, however, we will continue to identify
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 128
1 any incompatible uses, while recognizing the 2 decision remains with the local and state 3 authorities. 4 Thank you for inviting me, and I look forward 5 to a continued strong working relationship between 6 McDill and the State of Florida. Thank you. 7 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thanks. Thanks for your 8 service. 9 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Thank you for your 10 service. 11 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: The Department 12 recommends approval. 13 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion to approve 14 on the item? 15 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So move. 16 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second? 17 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Governor, I'll second 18 it, but I have a question for Bruce. 19 COLONEL GRANT: Yes, Commissioner. 20 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I think this is an 21 important step forward. I think it's critically 22 important to protect McDill, not only for McDill's 23 operations but for the CENTCOM and SOCOM operations 24 that occur on that property. I think if you have a 25 BRAC that starts to chip away at one, you're
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 129
1 undermining all of the pillars that go on there. 2 But talk to me about where we were able to 3 negotiate no hotel and where we were unable to 4 negotiate no hotel. 5 COLONEL GRANT: Commissioner, I'd like to 6 defer that to DEP because they actually did the 7 negotiation. I can talk to the Task Force or any 8 military issues though. 9 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Well, why don't you talk 10 to the Task Force level of concern that we weren't 11 able to eliminate the hotel on the entire parcel, 12 if it exists. I mean maybe it doesn't, I don't -- 13 are you comfortable with the deal that has been 14 made? 15 You wish we'd been able to get rid of the 16 hotel altogether. I mean, you know, kind of 17 getting at my concern -- I'm for it, I'm going to 18 vote for it. It's better than what we have. 19 COLONEL GRANT: Right. 20 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I have reticence that we 21 were unable to negotiate away a future hotel at the 22 end of a runway. I'm not real sure why that's such 23 a hot idea anyway, if anyone would ever proceed 24 with that; but the fact that we're not -- that that 25 option is still on the table clearly is expressed
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 130
1 by the Colonel in his most polite Pentagon-speak. 2 So why don't we get it from you, because 3 you're allowed to speak freely. 4 COLONEL GRANT: Absolutely, yes, sir. 5 The Task Force agrees that at this point, 6 Commissioner, that this is the best deal that we 7 can get at this point. It is not optimum, and it 8 doesn't take care of the entire problem, but it 9 does take care of part of the problem; and we 10 believe we can go back and fix the rest of it in 11 the future. 12 We believe that if this deal isn't consummated 13 at this point, then you are back into a litigation 14 process that could take a long time, and then it 15 remains a bone of contention. 16 And then when folks at DOD look at that, they 17 say: They haven't been able to figure it out at 18 McDill yet, that's a problem. You know, maybe we 19 ought to look at the flying mission going 20 elsewhere; or tankers that are scheduled to come to 21 McDill at this point, maybe we divert it elsewhere. 22 So we -- the Task Force understands certainly 23 that this is not optimum but believe it's the best 24 deal that we can get, and it's been worked so hard 25 at that point, we didn't want to let it go. We
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 131
1 wanted to take what was there, and all the members 2 of the Task Force are behind that. 3 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Well, 4 Representative Young has just been relentless on 5 this in making this deal happen, and her leadership 6 has been extraordinary; but why in the world did 7 the City of Tampa change the zoning from industrial 8 mixed use? You don't have to answer that. 9 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Commissioner, don't 10 those planes fly at what, 65 decibels; is that -- 11 what was it? 12 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Sound level. 13 COMMANDER MILLER: The sound level 14 (inaudible). 15 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Pretty loud for a 16 hotel. 17 COLONEL GRANT: I would just add that as you 18 know, that parcel is right there along the main 19 runway, so takeoff and landing, you have tankers 20 that are full of fuel, the potential for accident 21 obviously pretty high. That's point one. 22 Point two, in the future, if there is 23 something developed there, God forbid there is no 24 accident, there will be all kinds of issues 25 attendant to the noise and all those sorts of
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 132
1 things with windows rattling as the jets take off 2 over their heads. 3 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you. 4 I fully support the project, Governor, and 5 second the motion. 6 CFO ATWATER: Governor, I just -- I'd just 7 like to hear your question -- your answer, if you 8 don't mind. 9 GOVERNOR SCOTT: We don't know why they 10 changed it, do we? 11 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Sir? 12 CFO ATWATER: No, the negotiations. 13 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Oh, yeah. As far as 14 why the zoning was changed, we don't have anything 15 to do with it. 16 From a negotiations perspective, CFO, we 17 actually tried our best to negotiate those rights 18 away. We tried to make those -- we were not 19 successful in our negotiations with Florida Rock on 20 acquiring those. 21 They are here. Ms. Linda Shelly is here 22 representing them today, and I think she could 23 probably answer that from a better perspective from 24 Florida Rock's perspective. 25 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Maybe you could solve our
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 133
1 problem just today; that would be nice. 2 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Poor Linda. 3 MS. SHELLY: Linda Shelly on behalf of 4 Florida Rock. 5 I want to make clear that hotel/motel, without 6 the change in land use that was approved in 2008 by 7 the City of Tampa, is an allowed use on all of the 8 property currently today, without the land use 9 change that was made in 2008. 10 Hotel/motel was not the subject of the 11 Administrative Hearing that went to DOAH in 2009 12 and it resulted in a favorable recommended order 13 about seven years ago, in August of 2009. The 14 issue was residential uses; that was the change. 15 And that was what all of the testimony was about in 16 front of the City Council, which approved this 17 unanimously, after two public hearings, after a 18 recommendation, after hearing from the base, and 19 hearing from the community, and applying their 20 rules. 21 And so the issue to me is confusing about 22 hotel/motel because that was never the issue 23 before. We recognize that it is now, and 24 Florida Rock stepped up and said, on 40% of the 25 property we will have no hotel and motel uses; and
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 134
1 that is the -- what I consider a very good way to 2 solve a very difficult recommended order that is 3 sitting out there for the past seven years. 4 Does that respond to your question? 5 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: What's it going to cost 6 to protect the other 60%? 7 MS. SHELLY: Pardon me? 8 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: What will it cost to 9 protect the other 60%? 10 MS. SHELLY: They were never able to get 11 appraisals that reached a meeting of the parties' 12 needs. That can happen in the future, we're not 13 saying it can't. 14 What is before you today, however, is a 15 permanent solution to the residential use because 16 it isn't a matter of who approves what and why, it 17 is a sale of those rights; it's an elimination of 18 those rights to permanently protect the base from 19 those residential uses. 20 CFO ATWATER: I think we understand that the 21 changes made in 2008 would not have impacted the 22 potential for a hotel; I think we understand that. 23 I think the surprise is that the same -- and I 24 do agree with the Commissioner, it was a very 25 polite presentation by our military today. But
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 135
1 they objected vehemently to the 2008 changes and 2 were run over in that decision making process. The 3 State of Florida objected, and we were run over in 4 that process. 5 And I think today we're just hearing a lot of 6 goodwill being expressed that we really want to do 7 right to protect that base, and the military again 8 has stood right there where you're standing and is 9 saying, this is still incompatible. 10 And so I think -- I'm agreeing with the 11 Commissioner. I'm willing to vote for this, but I 12 just don't want this dripping in hypocrisy, that 13 we're doing this when the parties actually tried to 14 do more, now have backed up, and the military is 15 still asking: Can you not do more with us? I hope 16 that that can still be forthcoming at some point. 17 MS. SHELLY: I appreciate that comment. 18 I would like to point out that in our process, 19 there isn't any running over of parties. We had a 20 three-day evidentiary hearing with sworn testimony 21 and documents and all of that -- all of those 22 issues have been settled by the entry of a 23 recommended order based on competent substantial 24 evidence that, as you know -- 25 CFO ATWATER: Well, let me then help you.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 136
1 MS. SHELLY: Sure. 2 CFO ATWATER: Let me just restate that. I'm 3 holding the letter of the Former Commanding Officer 4 expressing over and over again: Please don't do 5 this; please don't rezone this. So obviously 6 there's a process. Let me just say: The 7 sentiments of the Commander were run over, okay? 8 MS. SHELLY: Oh, I see, yes, sir. 9 CFO ATWATER: And run over and run over. 10 MS. SHELLY: I appreciate that comment. 11 Any other questions? 12 (NO RESPONSE). 13 GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. So we have a 14 motion and a second. 15 Are there any comments or objections? 16 (NO RESPONSE). 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion 18 carries. 19 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Item 5. 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Gary, wait a minute. 21 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Yes, sir. 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: You got the second, right? 23 Did you get -- do you know who seconded it? 24 THE COURT REPORTER: Yes. 25 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. I just wanted to make
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 137
1 sure. 2 Okay. 3 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Item 5 is 4 presentation of the 2017/2018 Division of 5 State Lands proposed legislative budget request. 6 The item is being submitted in accordance with the 7 Governor and Cabinet guidelines. 8 Item Number 1 are the Florida Forever bonds 9 debt service continuation. The estimated total 10 debt service needed for fiscal year '17/'18 is 11 $149,956,059. This is a decrease of $408 over last 12 year's debt service. The debt service is based on 13 a variable rate of interest, of course, and changes 14 every year. 15 The second issue is a reduction in grant 16 spending authority. The proposed issue is to 17 realign spending authority in the amount of 244,000 18 currently in the Division of State Lands to the 19 Division of Recs and Parks. DRP will use the funds 20 to provide first response training for state park 21 staff to assist them with handling emergency 22 situations. 23 The third issue is the Florida Forever, 24 Florida Communities Trust. The proposal is to 25 request for $5 million in land acquisition funding
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 138
1 in the Florida Forever, Florida Communities Trust 2 Program. This is in addition to the $5.3 million 3 currently in DSL's recurring budget for the FCT. 4 The funding will be focused on efforts to assist 5 communities in protecting important natural 6 resources and providing recreational opportunities 7 through the competitive criteria in the Parks and 8 Open Space Grant Program. 9 Are there any questions? 10 (NO RESPONSE). 11 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Does anybody have any 12 questions? 13 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: No. 14 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. That was for 15 information purposes. 16 All right. Now we'll go into Item 6. 17 DEPUTY SECRETARY CLARK: Item Number 6 is a 18 presentation by the Department of Management 19 Service on repairs to the House garage, Senate 20 garage, and Waller Park located at the 21 Capitol Center Complex. 22 Secretary Poppell with DMS will provide this 23 presentation to the Governor and Cabinet. 24 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good afternoon. 25 SECRETARY POPPELL: Good afternoon, Governor,
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 139
1 Cabinet. It's an honor to be here. I'll get the 2 slide deck set up real quick. 3 GOVERNOR SCOTT: You changed everybody's 4 parking, right? 5 SECRETARY POPPELL: Unfortunately, that is 6 very true. 7 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: (Inaudible), Governor. 8 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Huh? 9 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: You're still good. 10 SECRETARY POPPELL: The Governor -- the 11 Governor is fine. 12 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Did yours change? 13 SECRETARY POPPELL: In the interest of time, 14 I'm going to move expeditiously through the slide 15 deck. If you have any questions or want to stop 16 and talk to a certain point, please let me know; or 17 I'd be happy to meet with anyone afterwards and 18 walk through. 19 For discussion today, there are three 20 structures within the Capitol Complex that we're 21 working to repair. On the slide here, you can see 22 they're highlighted: The first is the Senate 23 parking garage, followed by the House parking 24 garage, and then Waller Park. Most of us know 25 Waller Park as the dolphin fountain side of the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 140
1 Capitol, but it also serves as the public's main 2 entrance to the Capitol structure. 3 By the way of background, the Capitol has been 4 in use since August 19th of 1977. So it's about 5 40 years old, and we have some issues that need 6 immediate addressing. First and foremost, the 7 waterproofing and drainage systems throughout the 8 grounds are beyond end of life and are failing. 9 Further, the House and Senate garages have -- 10 they're subterranean, they're underground. They 11 were designed with six-foot deep built-in planter 12 troughs into the roofs of those structures. 13 So over time the wind load of 40-foot tall 14 trees and the weight of 7,300 tons of dirt, 15 combined with the failing waterproofing, has 16 overstressed the structure. So if you walk around, 17 the effects of the damage are quite noticeable. We 18 have pictures here for you. 19 Expansion joints no longer work. The surfaces 20 you see above ground are breaking apart, and more 21 concerning is the concrete throughout the structure 22 is cracking and falling off in chunks. We call 23 that spalling. 24 So beginning in 2014, DMS began the process of 25 acquiring funds to design, plan, and repair the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 141
1 damage. So in that planning process, there have 2 been some recent developments; and I know we've met 3 with your teams on these, but you may have heard 4 about these as well. 5 Unfortunately, engineers found the damage in 6 the Senate garage was accelerating. Most 7 concerning was the expansion of sheer cracks on the 8 main support girder, which led them to conclude the 9 structure was overstressed and presented a life 10 safety issue, so we had to immediately close the 11 garage. 12 Further, the engineers directed us to 13 significantly reduce the weight on top of the House 14 and Senate garages in very short order, or risk 15 further damage there. 16 A second development was the discovery that 17 the original waterproofing material used back in 18 the '70s, it was commonly used at the time, is 19 actually considered now a hazardous substance. 20 This substance, coal tar pitch, must be abated 21 before we can proceed. 22 So at this point in time, we've closed the 23 Senate garage, we've implemented a long-term 24 temporary parking plan. And I want to thank you 25 guys for your willingness to help those that were
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 142
1 affected. We've removed the prescribed weight from 2 the top of both the House and Senate garages and 3 we've begun the abatement process. 4 So our plan moving forward, these are projects 5 of significance, we're going to employ the 6 following principles first: Life safety takes 7 priority. So of note, the seriousness of the 8 Senate garage has prompted us to focus there before 9 we focus on the other two projects. 10 Next, we recognize this is a working building. 11 It's the seat of government in Florida. We need to 12 minimize disruption and complete the project on 13 time. So here we've decided to complete the 14 project in a way that allows us to not shut down 15 access to the Capitol. 16 Also, when possible, the loudest, most 17 disruptive work is planned for after working hours. 18 And last, we need to provide a product that 19 Floridians can be proud of, both from a visitor's 20 experience and overall cost perspective. 21 So let's jump on over to cost. Our 22 construction management firms believe the cost of 23 repairing the Senate garage, House garage, and 24 Waller Park could be as much as $25 million each. 25 Each of these structures is designed and built
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 143
1 differently so this is an approximation. 2 The Florida Legislature has been funding these 3 projects for the last three years. 36 million has 4 been appropriated to date, with more sought moving 5 forward. We won't have firm numbers until the 6 projects are put out to bid; and as I mentioned 7 earlier, we're still discovering unforeseen 8 conditions that may change the scope. 9 On the screen you can see how the construction 10 management firm feels the costs will be broken 11 down. I want to point out here, these projects are 12 very complex. About half of the cost is just 13 getting the building ready to work on: Pulling the 14 dirt back, driving piles, getting what was on top 15 off. So there's a lot of expense in just getting 16 the sites prepped. 17 I want to assure you that all the components 18 here shown on the screen are going to be 19 competitively bid. And to protect the state, we're 20 going to employ a guaranteed maximum price contract 21 structure. Given the complexity and costs 22 involved, I believe it's wise to put the risk on 23 the private companies that will be conducting the 24 work. 25 Further, to ensure that the state gets the
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 144
1 best deal possible, we are exploring all options at 2 this point. In consultation with the Senate, we're 3 actually studying the cost of building a new Senate 4 garage versus just repairing the one that's there. 5 With the amount of money being estimated, it's 6 important we get a good return on investment for 7 taxpayers in terms of the life cycle of the 8 building and how long it's expected to be in use. 9 Internally, I've also added additional agency 10 resources to make sure we stay on time and on 11 budget. This is kind of the project timeline and 12 project steps. The important point here I want to 13 show is that we're still very much in the infancy 14 stage of these projects. We still have major 15 decision points in front of us, but we do expect, 16 once started, if we stay on the repair track, each 17 project should conclude within two years' time. 18 Also, we are just now delivering renderings of the 19 surface designs to policymakers and stakeholders 20 and, again, conducting that fundamental research 21 into building versus repairing. 22 Moving on, all of these projects have 23 extensive outreach planned, and that's a portion 24 we'll get to. These projects present an 25 opportunity for us. Since we're having to repair
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 145
1 the structures and we have to pull down everything 2 that's on top, we have the opportunity to address 3 two longstanding issues at the Capitol: 4 First, we've been directed by the Florida 5 Legislature to work with the Florida Historical 6 Commission to set aside space and collaborate on 7 design and placement of monuments on the Capitol 8 grounds. 9 And shortly, if there's time, we have a draft 10 video -- or a concept video that we'd like to show 11 you, or show how it could possibly change the use 12 of the grounds to more of a destination to 13 residents and visitors. 14 And second, as we repair Waller Park, an 15 opportunity exists to increase access for persons 16 with disabilities. I mentioned this earlier, it is 17 the main drop-off point for the Capitol, main 18 entrance point. And today it is very challenging 19 for any visitor with mobility issues. There are 20 actually nine level changes in the park using only 21 stairs. There's no ramps or elevators for 22 accommodation, so it's a situation that we need to 23 address. 24 Governor and Cabinet, I do have a video. It 25 lasts about three minutes, and do we have time to
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 146
1 show that? 2 (AFFIRMATIVE INDICATIONS). 3 (VIDEO PRESENTATION). 4 SECRETARY POPPELL: I had an opportunity to 5 speak with a few of you before the meeting, and I 6 hope I've been able to address a number of your 7 questions. 8 Commissioner Putnam, you asked a very 9 interesting question about alternate approaches, 10 and I wanted to address that in my conclusion. 11 First, the majority of the work, as discussed, is 12 actually below ground and is related to 13 waterproofing. We've selected the most proven 14 methods, and there are not many alternatives in 15 this regard; however, I do believe the build versus 16 repair analysis should be completed and presented 17 to policymakers before executing. 18 Second, as it relates to Waller Park, the 19 Department did consider alternative means of 20 helping those with disabilities. Our two main 21 options here are elevators or ramps to help get 22 people from the drop-off point to the doors. We 23 felt elevators were a superior choice since the 24 ramping required by law would be around 400 feet of 25 ramp that people would have to traverse, but we do
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 147
1 have sketches available of that if anybody would 2 like to see those. 3 And then finally, for the surface design 4 alternatives, we tried very hard to stay true to 5 the architectural style and layout of the Capitol 6 as it is today. This is somewhat limiting, but 7 we're happy to receive input and discuss 8 alternatives. 9 Please note that what you've seen in the 10 renderings and the video, it's already subject to 11 change based on any number of factors, such as the 12 overall project budget. On projects of this 13 magnitude, I know policymakers want to know as much 14 as possible as soon as possible. Each of these 15 projects do have extensive outreach plans, and I 16 pledge to keep you updated as things go along. We 17 do have some big decisions in front of us in the 18 near future. 19 Thank you for your time and attention, and 20 with that, I conclude the presentation and stand 21 ready for questions. 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Does anybody have any 23 questions? 24 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Chad, thank you for 25 keeping us informed.
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 148
1 SECRETARY POPPELL: Thank you very much. 2 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Commissioner. 3 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Mr. Secretary, thank you 4 for responding to our request to come before the 5 Board of Trustees and give us an update on what has 6 already begun. I was frustrated to see for the 7 first time in the Tallahassee Democrat the 8 renderings of what this project will look like. 9 So we've got several things here: One is -- 10 and you referenced it -- the extraordinary cost of 11 the repairs to the two garages versus replacing 12 them with an aboveground option nearby off site. 13 You know, to spend -- I think you -- did you say 14 $25 million estimated per phase, so that would be 15 Senate garage, House garage, Waller Park? 16 SECRETARY POPPELL: Yes, sir. 17 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: And assuming that we 18 miss the mark and that it's -- there's, you know, 19 some escalation in that, $75 million to only have 20 to show for it two parking garages that are not 21 collapsing on each other and ADA accessibility is 22 extraordinary to me. 23 The concepts manage to diminish an already 24 unattractive Capitol site, and so I would like to 25 see what the options were that were rejected in
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 149
1 favor of what we have because it -- it's not -- I 2 don't know, it's just one guy's opinion, but it's 3 not particularly attractive. 4 But take my taste and preference out of it. 5 The fact that we're spending that kind of money and 6 this is the first time the Board of Trustees are 7 hearing about it, for fundamental changes to the 8 crown jewel of what the Board of Trustees oversees 9 in terms of state-owned properties. 10 Could you answer for me if it is true that 11 we're paying a significant fine to the City of 12 Tallahassee for removing the trees that are causing 13 $50 million worth of damage to the Capitol Complex? 14 SECRETARY POPPELL: Yes, sir. After the 15 conversation that you and I had on the phone, I 16 went back and checked, there's no fine there. 17 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Okay. 18 SECRETARY POPPELL: In fact, what we've done 19 is we've agreed to comply with the tree mitigation 20 plan, so it's more about what goes back if you take 21 trees out, but there was no fine. 22 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Okay. I'm sorry. I 23 used the wrong word. What are we paying in the 24 tree mitigation plan agreement? 25 SECRETARY POPPELL: We have a landscaping
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 150
1 budget I believe for both the House and Senate 2 garage for about a million point five, but that -- 3 something has to go back on top once we take 4 everything out so we have some landscaping plan. 5 COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Sure. 6 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Now that's a requirement from 7 the City. 8 SECRETARY POPPELL: Yes, sir, their tree 9 mitigation, they have a policy that you -- 10 GOVERNOR SCOTT: If you take a tree out in the 11 City, you have to add a tree in somewhere. 12 SECRETARY POPPELL: They have some formulas 13 and things, and we wanted to be a good partner with 14 the City and comply with the policy. 15 ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Are they grand oaks? 16 SECRETARY POPPELL: Part of the -- part -- 17 there's actually over a hundred trees I believe 18 going back in. I believe about ten are going to be 19 oaks, but they're not going to be planted on top of 20 the roofs of the garages or anything like that. 21 GOVERNOR SCOTT: But you have to comply with 22 City ordinances? 23 SECRETARY POPPELL: Technically, Governor, we 24 are exempt.

The bonds were awarded to 23 the lower bidder at a true interest cost of 24 approximately 1.46% that enables us to reduce 25 interest rates on outstanding lottery revenue

1 bonds from 5% to 1.46%, generating gross debt 2 service savings of 46 and a half million; 3 present value savings of 42.6 million or 17.3% 4 of the principal amount of the bonds being 5 refunded. 6 Item 2B is a competitive sale of 206 million 7 of PECO bonds. The bonds were awarded to the low 8 bidder at a true interest cost of 2.49%. This was 9 a combined new money issue and refunding, so the 10 new money piece was 46.4 million, and the refunding 11 piece was 159.6 million. 12 The new money bonds, just looking at the new 13 money piece, the bonds were sold at a true 14 interest cost of 2.7% and the interest rate on the 15 refunding piece was 2.40%, so that allowed us to 16 reduce the interest rate on outstanding bonds from 17 4.92% to 2.4%, generating gross debt service 18 savings of 52 million; present value savings of 19 40.6 million or 23.1% of the principal amount of 20 the refunded bonds. 21 And lastly, Item 2C is a report of award on 22 the competitive sale of 159.8 million of Florida 23 Forever Refunding Bonds. The bonds were awarded 24 to the low bidder at a true interest cost of 25 1.59%. That allowed us to reduce interest rates

I 14 will cut to the chase here and say simply that we 15 had a four-hour Investment Advisory Council meeting 16 yesterday in which we went in depth into our two 17 largest liquid market classes: Global equities and 18 fixed income, both of which have outperformed and 19 done well over long periods of time. 20 To give you an idea of the complexity of some 21 of this, in the global equity portfolio alone we're 22 managing $78 billion in that book, 11,000 different 23 securities in 77 countries and 52 currencies. And 24 what was interesting was we had a graphic showing 25 60 trailing 12-month periods, so five years of
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 168
1 one month trailing 12 months, looking at every one 2 of those data points. 59 of the 60 points, we were 3 outperforming benchmark. 4 So the Investment Advisory Council said, wait 5 a minute, this doesn't look right, it's too good, 6 something is wrong with us, we need to dig into 7 this. An hour and 15 minutes later the conclusion 8 was, wow, that's really good, it's just fine. 9 Thank you. 10 So at any rate, that was sort of the tone of 11 the meeting. I would also add that the control 12 environment, as evidenced by the materials in your 13 book, including the quarterly reports from our 14 General Counsel, minutes from IAC, the PLGAC, the 15 Audit Committee, our Inspector General, our Chief 16 Risk Management and Compliance Officer, all 17 indicate that the control environment is intact and 18 there are no exemptions of note. 19 We have with us Kristen Doyle who was -- it 20 just hit the wire a couple of hours ago, has just 21 been named one of the five most influential 22 consultants in the business by her peers in the 23 institutional management business. Kristen is with 24 us and can give a very high level recap on major 25 mandate performance, if that pleases the Board.

C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 170
1 MS. DOYLE: Thank you. 2 I will just spend, as I do, just a brief few 3 minutes on performance of the major mandates that 4 are managed by the SBA. These are numbers through 5 June 30th, 2016, for the total FRS Pension Fund. 6 For the quarter, the Pension Fund was up 1.3%, 7 which was a strong quarter by recent market 8 standards, matched the return of the performance 9 benchmark, what you see there in the blue bars. 10 This is the primary benchmark we use to measure 11 performance for the total fund. 12 For the one-year period, which is also the 13 fiscal year period, it produced a return of .6%, 14 driven mainly by strong absolute returns from fixed 15 income, private equity, and real estate. This 16 return significantly outperformed the performance 17 benchmark, which was slightly negative, as you can 18 see here. And if you look at based on sort of the 19 average market value for that period for the FRS, 20 that translates into about a billion dollars of 21 additional dollars for the pension plan over that 22 period of time. 23 Over the trailing periods, the total fund has 24 outperformed the performance benchmark over all of 25 those trailing periods you see here. And then over
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 171
1 longer time periods it has outperformed what we 2 call the absolute nominal target rate of return, 3 which is the CPI plus 5%, as you can see here. 4 Relative to peers, the FRS fell just short of 5 the median return, compared to the top ten defined 6 benefit funds for the one year period. This was 7 mainly due to an overweight to public equities 8 which struggled during the period, and underweight 9 to investment grade fixed income, which continued 10 to perform well as we saw rates continue to fall 11 over the one-year period. 12 Over all other periods shown here though, you 13 can see that the FRS is ranked in the 14 50th percentile or better. 15 I will continue to move, and if you have any 16 questions, please stop me. 17 So the investment plan here, the investment 18 plan underperformed its total plan benchmark for 19 the one-year period mainly due to underperformance 20 from just two fund options: The large cap 21 U. S. equity fund and the real assets funds, but as 22 you can see, has outperformed the benchmark over 23 all other trailing periods. 24 And then in the box on the bottom, relative to 25 peers, the investment plan fell short by about a
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 172
1 percent over the five-year period, mainly due to 2 the funds that the participant are choosing that 3 results in a higher allocation to cash and 4 short-term bonds relative to the peer plans that 5 we're showing here. And a big part of that are 6 dropped participants that typically take those 7 assets and invest them very conservatively. 8 The Cat Fund, again, low absolute returns as 9 we know from being invested in short-term bonds in 10 the low-yield environment that we are in; a 11 little bit of underperformance over the shorter 12 term, but continued out performance over the longer 13 terms. 14 And then for the Lawton Chiles Endowment Fund, 15 the negative performance you see here for the 16 one-year period was driven mainly by negative 17 returns from the global equity component, which 18 comprises 70% of the endowment assets. The 19 endowment continues to provide strong performance 20 both on a relative and an absolute basis though 21 over all of the longer time periods shown here. 22 And then lastly, the Florida Prime, in spite 23 of the low-yield environment, the Florida Prime has 24 managed to double and almost triple the return of 25 the benchmark which actually represents a
C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314 173
1 collection of returns from other local government 2 investment pools, and you see this for the quarter, 3 the 1-, the 3-, and the 5-year period, and then 4 continued out performance -- 5 GOVERNOR SCOTT: How do you do that? 6 MS. DOYLE: -- over a long-term basis. 7 GOVERNOR SCOTT: How do you do that? If 8 you're not taking it just from -- are you taking 9 different risks? 10 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WILLIAMS: Cost. 11 GOVERNOR SCOTT: It's all costs? 12 MS. DOYLE: That's right. 13 GOVERNOR SCOTT: And so now all of these are 14 net of cost? Okay. 15 MS. DOYLE: These are all net of fees, 16 that's right. 17 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. 18 MS. DOYLE: And that concludes my comments. 19 I'm happy to take any other questions. 20 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Anybody have any questions? 21 (NO RESPONSE). 22 GOVERNOR SCOTT: Thanks. 23 MS.
