Promoted by Janice Billie and sponsored by the Broadcasting Program, the event received a helping hand from programs such as Learning Resources, Family Services, Hot Meals, Pre-School, Language Department, the Chairman’s Office and interested com- munity members. The day’s activities focused on the Seminole Tribe’s culture. With the new wave of technology always bring- ing a new computer system or video game out every six months, the culture of the Seminole people has begun to suffer from neglect.

Prepared By: The Professional Staff of the Committee on Rules BILL: SB 1212 INTRODUCER: Senators Rodriguez and Hutson SUBJECT: Construction Contracting Exemptions DATE: April 2, 2021 REVISED: ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR REFERENCE ACTION 1. Kraemer Imhof RI Favorable 2. Hackett Ryon CA Favorable 3. Kraemer Phelps RC Favorable I. Summary: SB 1212 exempts members of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida (Miccosukee Tribe) and members of the Seminole Tribe of Florida (Seminole Tribe) from the contractor licensing requirements in ch. 489, F.S., when constructing a chickee. A chickee is an open-sided wooden hut that has a thatched roof of palm or palmetto or other traditional materials, and that does not incorporate any electrical, plumbing, or other nonwood features. The bill has no impact on state government. The bill is effective July 1, 2021. II. Present Situation: Regulation of Construction Activities; Exemptions The Legislature regulates the construction industry “in the interest of the public health, safety, and welfare,”1 and has enacted ch. 489, F.S., to address requirements for construction contracting, electrical and alarm system contracting, and septic tank contracting.2 More than 20 categories of persons are exempt from the contractor licensing requirements of ch. 489, F.S., including but not limited to: Contractors in work on bridges, roads, streets, highways, or railroads, and other services defined by the board and the Florida Department of Transportation; Employees of licensed contractors, if acting within the scope of the contractor’s license, with that licensee’s knowledge; 1 See s.

  • Ordinance 19-20 with Exhibits for Florida Building Code 2020
    TOWN OF JUPITER (Local Building Code Amendment to the Florida Building Code 2020 (7th Edition)) DATE: November 3, 2020 TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Town Council THRU: Matt Benoit, Town Manager FROM: Roger Held, Building Department MB Director SUBJECT: Ordinance 19-20, Local Building Code Amendment to the Florida Building Code 2020 (7th Edition) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Florida Legislature enacted Florida Statute Section 553.73, mandating statewide Florida Building Code (FBC), allowing local governments to adopt their own Administrative Chapter of the FBC, which we have shown in underlined text. This proposed Ordinance 19-20 adopts an updated Chapter 1 “Administration” of the FBC 7th edition (2020). The amendments are not codified into the Town’s code but rather adopted by reference. If approved, Ordinance 19-20 will be available for review with the Florida Building Commission and also posted on Town of Jupiter’s website effective December 31, 2020. Exhibit “A” Outlines the duties and responsibilities of the Building Department and the minimum standards for construction documents; outline permit requirements, minimum inspection requirements and provide for an appeal process. Exhibit “B” Provides for higher regulatory standards related to construction taking place in a special flood hazard area. These amendments are in compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and are known as higher “regulatory standards” or “free board”. A higher compliance standard helps assure safe and dry structures in flood events and improves our Community Rating System (CRS) score, resulting in lower flood insurance premiums for our residents. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted and approved Ordinance 19-20 on October 13, 2020.

To accommodate the large amount of visitors, a number of new constructions, especially facility buildings, need to be built in the parks. This scenario puts the National Park Service into a dilemma between ensuring education, recreation and inspiration of the parks, while preserving the natural and cultural values for the sake of future generations. To mitigate the dilemma, the park buildings requires a place-sensitive design that not only ensures high quality service for visitors and minimizes the human impact on nature, but also evoke a sense of place.

  • Florida Seminole Housing and the Social Meanings of Sovereignty
    Florida Seminole Housing and the Social Meanings of Sovereignty JESSICA CATTELINO Anthropology, University of Chicago Driving past the strip malls of Hollywood, Florida, visitors know they have entered the Seminole Reservation when they approach blocks of modest houses punctuated by the thatched roofs of backyard chickees (from chiki, or home, in Mikasuki). On Seminoles’ rural Big Cypress Reservation, chic- kees dot the landscape as storage sheds, front yard spots to sit and socialize, and shelters for taking lunch breaks away from the punishing Florida sunshine. Chickees also convey “Seminoleness” in some tribal casinos’ interior design, as vendors’ booths at Seminole festivals (figure 1), and even on the Seminole tribal flag, with its chickee logo (figure 2). More than any other element of the built environment, chickees mark space as distinctly Seminole. If today chickees have come to signify Seminole nation and culture to Semi- noles and outsiders alike, however, the history of Seminole housing reveals a complicated and fraught relationship among chickees, governance, and the politics of culture. In this paper, which is part of a larger study of Seminole tribal sovereignty and economy in the casino era (Cattelino n.d. [forthcoming]), I examine housing as a case study of mid- to late twentieth-century relations between Seminoles and the federal government. I show how the 1990s tran- sition from federal to tribal control over housing and other social programs, Acknowledgments: Research was funded by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, an American Association of University Women American Dissertation Fellowship, a Woodrow Wilson Dissertation Grant in Women’s Studies, a Smithsonian Institution Predoctoral Fellowship, an American Philosophical Society Phillips Fund Grant for Native American Research, a New York University Kriser Fellowship in Urban Anthropology, the Annette B.

  • Chickee / Chiki Hut Guidelines
    Chickee / Chiki Hut Guidelines A. Definition: (1) A Chickee Hut (also known as a Sun Shelter) is a Seminole Indian house built on stilts, with open sides and a thatched roof of palm leaves. A thatched roof is a roof constructed of palm fronds in an open web type of construction. The palm fronds are attached in such a manner that they are sacrificed in winds exceeding 70 mph. The chickee hut does NOT incorporate any electrical, plumbing or other nonwood features. B. Construction Standards: (1) All construction must meet at least the minimum requirements of the Florida Building Code as adopted by the City of Cape Coral, with amendments, and as amended subsequent to the adoption of this section. (LDR 3.1) (2) No sun shelters shall be permitted except those supported by either: (a) one central pole of a diameter not to exceed ten inches; or (b) Maximum of eight poles. (3) The maximum coverage allowed under roof, including overhangs, shall be 150 square feet or if constructed on a dock the area of the dock on which the sun shelter is constructed, whichever is less. (Ord. 13-06, 2-27-2006) (4) The maximum height of the sun shelter shall be 14 feet measured from the patio, dock or land on which the sun shelter is constructed. Should the surface on which the sun shelter is constructed have a grade, the measurement required by this subsection shall be from the lowest point of the grade under the sun shelter, including overhangs.
