TO: Council Members FROM: Scott R. Koons, AICP, Executive Director 7~ lt~ SUBJECT: Land, Warehouse and Office Building

BACKGROUND

On August 4, 1999, the Council purchased the office building and warehouse located at 2009 NW 67th Place, Gainesville, Florida. The office building and warehouse of pre-engineered steel construction were constructed in 1980. The Council had been renting the office building and warehouse for the previous seven years beginning on November 1, 1992.

The purchase price for the 7,560 square foot office building and 1,989 square foot warehouse located on a 4.4-acre site was $490,400. Along with $3 I ,400 in cash, the Council secured a 15-year promissory note from SouthTrust Bank in the amount of $459,000 to purchase the office building and warehouse. Since the Council is a governmental agency and is prohibited from mortgaging real property to secure a promissory note, the Council pledged certain revenues to repay the promissory note.

The January 1, 2014 payment in the amount of $3, 134.95 constituted the final payment in full satisfying the promissory note. Thus, the Council currently does not have any outstanding long-term debt. The average annual building and grounds occupancy cost, including insurance; utilities; custodial services; heating, ventilation and air conditioning services; and termite and pest control services is $45,000.

The Alachua County Property Appraiser 2019 assessed value of the land is $499,632, and the assessed value of the buildings is $318,562. Thus, the total assessed value ofland and buildings is $818,194.

A commercial real estate broker, on behalf of a client, has contacted Council staff expressing interest in purchasing the land, warehouse and office building owned by the Council. The intent of the party interested in purchasing the land, warehouse and office building is to construct a parking lot for approximately 160 vehicles. The parking lot would be an accessory parking lot for an existing 95, 120 square foot distribution warehouse located at 2121 NW 67th Place, Gainesville, Florida.

Staff evaluated four options concerning the sale of the land, warehouse and office building owned by the Council. The four options are to sell the land, warehouse and office building; sell the land and warehouse; retain ownership of the land, warehouse and office building; or sell Lot 8.

On December 12, 2019, the Council authorized the Executive Director to sign a site access agreement; authorized the Executive Director to have an appraisal of the land, warehouse and office building completed; and authorized the Executive Director to research warehouse and office building relocation options.

Pursuant to that Council action, the Executive Director signed a site access agreement; engaged Emerson Appraisal Company, Inc. to prepare an appraisal of the land, warehouse and office building; and secured the assistance of Colliers International, a commercial real estate organization, Colliers International, to identify office space purchase and lease options for relocation.

The appraisal has been completed resulting in a value of $970,000 (see attached Property Summary and Appraisal Conclusions). The research ofrelocation purchase and lease options continues to be in progress.

On February 27, 2020, the Council declared the land, warehouse and office building located at 2009 NW 67th Place, Gainesville, Florida to be surplus property; set a minimum bid sale price for the land, warehouse and office building of $1,018,500; and authorized the Executive Director to advertise for bids to sell the land, warehouse and office building. The minimum bid sale price set by the Council was the appraised value plus five percent.

Due to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, research on evaluating office space relocation options has paused temporarily. However, the commercial real estate broker representing their client that has expressed an interest in purchasing the land, warehouse and office building owned by the Council has indicated that they would be interested in taking possession of the property on or about August 1, 2020 and proceed with constructing a parking lot on the southern portion of the property. However, he has indicated that his client would also provide the Council the opportunity to continue to occupy the office building and use the warehouse until April 1, 2021.

SUBJECT: North Central Florida Strategic Regional Policy Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report

In a manner similar to the process required by local governments, every five years each regional planning council is required to perform an evaluation and appraisal of its Strategic Regional Policy Plan.

The evaluation and appraisal process is a two-step process. The first step involves the preparation and adoption of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The second step involves the preparation and adoption of amendments to the Strategic Regional Policy Plan.

The purpose of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report is to evaluate the progress of the regional plan at achieving the goals and at implementing the policies contained in the plan. The Evaluation and Appraisal Report should identify those areas of the plan in need ofrevision based on new information, changes to Florida Statutes, or changing regional trends and conditions. Subsequent to the adoption of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, amendments may need to be prepared and considered by the Council for adoption based upon the recommendations contained in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report.

The Regional Planning Committee met on February 27, 2020 to review the purpose and function of the plan as well as the amendment history of the plan. The Committee will meet virtually via communications technology on May 28, 2020 to continue its review of the plan focusing on the Emergency Preparedness Element.

If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Introduction

The Overall Program Design is a planning and management tool which is used to assist the Council approach its work program in an orderly and comprehensive manner. It provides a detailed outline of the Council's work program for the fiscal year. Strategies, standards, objectives and long-range elements are re-evaluated, based upon previously identified problems and priorities. This is the 47th annual update of the work program.

The Program Committee is responsible for reviewing and evaluating the overall work program of the organization and making recommendations for alterations in it to the Council. Several indicators have been used to determine the future direction proposed by the Program Committee. However, primary guidance came from priorities established in past years with consideration being given to recent actions taken by the Council. · ·

During the current program year, Council activities and discussions at meetings have highlighted the need for continued emphasis on economic development programs and for the provision of technical assistance and support to local governments. Regional planning has also continued to be a topic of discussion.

These program areas are reflected in this Overall Program Design to the extent possible, as they have been in previous years.

Chapter III: Regional Planning

The Florida Regional Planning Council Act, passed in 1980 and subsequently amended in 1982, 1992 and again in 1993, requires that each regional planning council prepare and adopt a Strategic Regional Policy Plan. The Strategic Regional Policy Plan must be based upon studies of the region's resources and be consistent with the State Comprehensive Plan. The Act requires that once the Strategic Regional Policy Plan is adopted, it must be utilized by regional planning councils as "the basis for regional review of developments of regional impact, regional review of federally assisted projects, and other regional comment functions."

The Act directs that the Strategic Regional Policy Plan contain goals and policies specifically to address growth management issues. The plan must identify key regional issues, document trends, forecast future conditions, and analyze the problems, needs, and opportunities associated with growth in the region. Further, the regional goals and policies shall be used to develop a coordinated program of regional actions directed at resolving the identified problems and needs.

The Strategic Regional Policy Plan must, at a minimum, address affordable housing, economic development, emergency preparedness, natural resources of regional significance, and regional transportation. It may also address other subjects which relate to the particular needs and circumstances of the regional planning district as determined by the regional planning council. Furthermore, consideration must be given to existing state, regional, and local plans in preparing the Strategic Regional Policy Plan.

In addition to the preparation of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan and its maintenance, the Council also undertakes specific regional programs as are necessary or deemed appropriate. Other on-going programs include economic development, public safety and transportation disadvantaged program.

However, goals and policies included in the Strategic Regional Policy Plan shall be consistent with and further the State Comprehensive Plan." (Rule 27E-5, Rules of Practice and Procedure Pertaining to Strategic Regional Policy Plans)

During the 1995-96 program year, the Council completed the development of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan, and it was amended during the 1996-97 program year, 2002-03 program year, 2011-12 program year and 2017-18 program year.

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget as recommended by the Finance Committee.

BACKGROUND:

The Finance Committee met virtually via communications media technology on May 20, 2020. The purpose of the meeting was to consider a recommendation to the Council for the Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget. For your information, please find attached a proposed budget as prepared by staff.

As you can see, the anticipated expenditures for next year will be $2,102,500 which is $1,800 more than the current year budget.

As usual, almost all funds to be expended by the Council are received through contracts for services and grants. There is one exception: Member local governments pay dues, which are proposed to remain at $0.30 per capita for the 39th year, and will produce approximately $164,200.

The most significant policy decision that must be made with respect to the budget is related to personnel. There is provision for a total of 12 full-time staff positions, plus funds for part-time positions, which is one more full-time staff position than budgeted for the current year. The budget includes a recurring increase across the board for all employees, including the Executive Director, equal to two percent of the salary for each employee and one percent of the salary budget for merit increases for all employees, except the Executive Director.

Overall, this budget provides for significant services to be rendered to member cities and counties. This is to be done by effectively using resources, and at the same time, ensuring that the Council remains in a sound financial condition.

If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call me.

INDIRECT COSTS

Indirect costs are defined by the Code of Federal Regulations 200.414: Cost Principles for as which are: (1) incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and (2) not readily assignable to the cost objective specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. All indirect costs are accumulated in a pool and distributed as charges to each program by use of an indirect cost rate. The indirect cost rate is the total indirect cost divided by total direct personnel dollars. Thus, indirect costs are distributed based upon the number of salary dollars for each program. This method provides an equitable distribution of costs. The Indirect Rate for Fiscal Year 2020-21 is estimated to be approximately 55.97 percent.

SUBJECT: Middle and Lower Suwannee River and Withlacoochee River

On September 19, 2018, Council staff convened and facilitated a meeting of county commissioners, and county administrators, coordinators and managers at the Madison County Agricultural Extension office in Madison. Representatives from Columbia, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy and Madison Counties were in attendance at the meeting.

By consensus, the county commissioners present requested the Council to establish a task force comprised of a county commissioner from each of the following counties, Alachua, Bradford, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Suwannee and Union Counties, in the Suwannee River Basin, including the Santa Fe River Basin, to address the issues of raw sewage spills by the City of Valdosta, Georgia. The county commissioners present also requested that the Council authorize its Executive Director to provide administrative support to the Task Force and to develop, in conjunction with county administrators, coordinators and managers, a strategic action plan to address the issue of raw sewage spills by the City of Valdosta, Georgia.

On October 25, 2018 the Chair appointed the following county commissioners to the newly formed Middle and Lower Suwannee River and Withlacoochee River Task Force; Commissioner Ken Cornell, Alachua County; Commissioner Daniel Riddick, Bradford County; Commissioner Ronald Williams, Columbia County; Commissioner Gene Higginbotham, Dixie County; Commissioner Kendrick Thomas, Gilchrist County; Commissioner Beth Burnam, Hamilton County; Commissioner Anthony Adams, Lafayette County; Commissioner John Meeks, Levy County; Commissioner Rick Davis, Madison County; Commissioner Don Hale, Suwannee County; Commissioner Thomas Demps, Taylor County; and Commissioner James Tallman, Union County; with Commissioner Rick Davis appointed Chair and Commissioner Beth Burnam appointed Vice-Chair.

Due to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, the Task Force and the City of Valdosta did not meet for a previously scheduled joint workshop session on April 8, 2020 in Valdosta. However, due to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, the Task Force met virtually via communications media technology on May 20, 2020. At the meeting, the Task Force heard a report from the Suwannee River Water Management District concerning the condition of the Withlacoochee River and Suwannee River following the most recent raw sewage spill by the City of Valdosta and prepared written comments to be submitted to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division concerning the Division's proposed consent order with the City of Valdosta related to measures for addressing the ongoing raw sewage spills by the City of Valdosta (see attached letter).

If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

RE: City of Valdosta Sewage Spills Proposed Consent Order No. EPD-WP-8904

Dear Mr. Hays:

In response to the City of Valdosta, Georgia discharging raw and partially treated sewage for over a decade into the Withlacoochee River which flows across the state line into Florida and into the Suwannee River, the North Central Florida Regional Planning Council formed the Middle and Lower Suwannee River and Withlacoochee River Task Force. The Task Force consists of a county commissioner from each of the 12 counties within the north central Florida region.

The Task Force requests that the Division remove the one-year limit in proposed Consent Order No. EPD-WP 8904 on water quality testing to the state line and require the City to perform continuous testing with no specified termination date.

The Task Force also requests that the Division include in proposed Order EPD-WP-8904 a requirement that the City implement a plan to budget and expend the necessary funds to reimburse those citizens impacted downstream for expenses they incur for water testing, water well treatment and installation of water treatment systems. In addition, the City should also be required to reimburse counties and municipalities for expenses related to well testing to determine water quality and continuous water quality testing of the Withlacoochee River and the Suwannee River.

If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Scott Koons, Executive Director, North Central Florida Regional Planning Council at [email protected] or 352.955.2200, ext. 101.

• Ensure regional planning councils are consensus builders and problem solvers, and serve as conveners of the region by helping to articulate those multijurisdictional issues that need resolution;

• Encourage and promote opportunities for regional planning councils to become partners in state programs and initiatives, while promoting the unique themes of each region within the state and legislative environments;

• Monitor substantive state and federal legislative issues for the benefit of its members, and promote mutually supportive policy positions among the regional planning councils;

• Represent regional planning councils in national organizations, such as the National Association of Regional Councils, National Association of Development Organizations, and SouthEast Regional Directors Institute; and

• Foster relationships and partnerships and coordinate with state, regional, and national associations and organizations; non-profit entities; public-private partnerships; the Governor's Office; state agencies; and others, on issues of mutual interest and concern, and with whom the Association shares mutual goals and programs.

-141- North Central Florida RPC Prepares for 2020 Census

Once a decade, America comes together to count every resident in the United States, creating national awareness of the importance of the census and its valuable statistics. It counts our population and households, providing the basis for reapportioning congressional seats, redistricting, and distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to support states, counties and communities' vital programs impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care and public policy.

Dr. Stephen D. Dillingham, U. S. Census Director, Washington, D. C. Central Office, along with Marilyn Stephens, Assistant Regional Census Manager, Atlanta Regional Office, recently visited the offices of the North Central Florida RPC to discuss preparations for the upcoming 2020 Census. The Council, along with the other nine regional planning councils in Florida, is a Census Affiliate agency. Affiliate agencies partner with the Census to coordinate with local governments to prepare for the decennial Census and disseminate Census information.

During the visit, Census officials were briefed by Council staff on their outreach efforts concerning preparation for 2020 Census. These efforts include working with local Census complete count committees, adopting a proclamation declaring March 2020 as Census Awareness Month in the north central Florida region, encouraging all counties and municipalities in the north central Florida region to adopt similar proclamations, posting information concerning 2020 Census on the Council website and issuing press releases to inform the public about the importance of 2020 Census.

Dr. Dillingham discussed the process for implementing 2020 Census. He indicated that the goal is to have 80 percent of the 2020 Census responses completed online with telephone and mail options also being available for the initial count during Phase 1. During Phase 2, enumerators will canvass neighborhoods to count non-respondents. While April 1st is the official Census Day and the residency count day, 2020 Census will continue for several months with an anticipated completion by July 2020.
