Mr. Estes discussed meetings with the involved parties which were intended to receive input for the distribution of this funding. He reviewed a handout that provided detailed information on this funding. He stated that the


areas of concentration for the funding would be habitat, monitoring of the Bay and processor facility upgrades. Chairman Sanders asked about the amount of processing facilities included in this funding. Commissioner Lockley and Mr. Estes discussed the amount of seafood workers that were included in this project and the need to expand the program to include more of the seafood workers that are out of work. Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Estes discussed the areas that will be included in the shelling program and, also, who is included with determining the areas that will be shelled. She thanked him for attending the meeting and for the additional funding for the County. Chairman Sanders commented on what caused concerns with the original information that was provided. Mr. Estes stated that the lack of communication was his fault and he apologized. The Chairman thanked Mr. Estes for attending the meeting. She confirmed with Mr. Estes that the barge shelling will be done via competitive bidding. Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Estes discussed the process for assisting the seafood dealers, how they will be contacted, and how the money will be distributed to the facilities. Commissioner Lockley asked that the agency look at how many seafood workers are counted as full time and the qualification process. Chairman Sanders asked and Mr. Estes confirmed that FWC will act as a monitoring agency and will not use funds for enforcement. Commissioner Parrish stated that the common goal should be the restoration of the Bay. He recommended that FWC go back and look at procedures used in 1985, which was the last time there was this type of problem with the Bay. He suggested conducting a more in-depth monitoring program for the Bay and stated that the results of the training and education that took place a short while back is looked at before more funding is allocated to another program. Commissioner Parrish was in favor of assisting the dealers with this funding. He stated that additional funding will be needed to restore the entire Bay and was in favor of check stations to monitor the Bay closer. He asked what shells and resources will be used to restore the Bay because of the limited amount available. He discussed the trickle-down effect and how the lack of seafood in the Bay affects the entire economy of the County. Commissioner Lockley suggested that FWC talks to other seafood workers besides the ones in the SMART group. Mr. Pierce and Mr. Estes discussed a possible timeline for the re-shelling. Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Estes discussed the restrictions on this funding because the funds are Federal which means the County has no input on the guidelines.


Chairman Sanders stated that the main purpose of this funding is the restoration of the Apalachicola Bay. Commissioner Massey stated that no one in the SMARRT group makes any money from any funds. He said it is all a volunteer effort. Commissioner Parrish stated that a permanent re-shelling program is needed or else once the Bay is restored it will be back to the same status as it is now in a short amount of time. He said it is important that State agencies are aware of this and assist the County with this program. Chairman Sanders agreed with Commissioner Parrish. Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Estes asked if it will be put out to bid for one bidder for the barge re-shelling or if it will be multiple contractors. Mr. Estes said he will make the recommendation of multiple contractors to the appropriate agencies. Recess (9:54 AM) Chairman Sanders called for a recess. Reconvene (10:04 AM) Chairman Sanders reconvened the Meeting.

Advisory Board of Adjustment Consent Agenda (10:09 AM) Mr. Pierce presented the items from the Advisory Board of Adjustment Consent Agenda. 1 - Consideration of a request for a Special Exception to locate a communication tower on a 100x100 ft parcel out of a 26.8 acre parcel on property zoned R-6 Rural Residential. This property is described as lying in Section 8, Township 8 South, Range 5 West between Eastpoint and Carrabelle, north of Highway 98. The applicant is also requesting a variance to the 47 ft. height limit to construct a 200 ft. tower. Request submitted by Blackwater Group, Lane Wright, agent for AT&T. APPROVED by ABOA with the following Contingencies:

1- Must be completed within two years 2- Must allow co-locations with other providers 3- Donate co-location to Franklin County Sheriff’s Dept. 911 System and 4- Special Exception Finding of Fact: Granting of the special exception is not adverse to the public interest. Variance Approved: Variance for height is granted and may be assigned.

Chairman Sanders stated that she did not receive any letters of objection on this request. Attorney Shuler stated who was heard at the ABOA meeting objecting to the tower. He also explained that there were two variances the Board would be voting on today which would be the use and height restriction. He explained that there are other cell towers in the County so this would not set precedence today. Commissioner Parrish stated that these cell towers are necessary and the Board needs to move forward on this matter. Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to approve request for a Special Exception to locate a communication tower on a 100x100 ft parcel out of a 26.8 acre parcel on property zoned R-6 Rural Residential. This property is described as lying in Section 8, Township 8 South, Range 5 West between Eastpoint and Carrabelle, north of Highway 98. The applicant is also requesting a variance to the 47 ft. height limit to construct a 200 ft. tower; Motion carried 4-1, Jackel opposed. 2 - Reconsideration of a request for an after-the-fact variance to install a swimming pool 6.5 feet into the rear setback line and 4 feet into the 25 ft setback line off of 11th Street East on property described as 1080 East Gulf Beach Drive, Lot 11, Block J, Unit 2, St. George Island, Franklin County, Florida. Request submitted by William & Donna Nichols, owners. Approved by ABOA. William Nichols, property owner and applicant, stated that he is requesting two variances for this pool, and didn’t think that the location of the pool would pose any safety hazards for the neighbors. He stated that he will add a privacy fence and brick pavers.


The attorney representing the neighbors stated that he didn’t have any questions for Mr. Nichols. Mr. Nichols stated that he didn’t have any additional information or witnesses to provide. John Grant, attorney representing the Myers, the neighbors, explained why the Board should reject this variance request. Angela Myers, neighbor, stated her objections to allowing the requested variance. Commissioner Massey asked why the Myers was opposed to the variance. Ms. Myers stated that the location of the pool violates their privacy and she thinks that the setback rules should be followed. Commissioner Jackel stated that she spoke to both parties in this matter and realizes that there was no malice or intent to break the rules and believes it was an accident. She expressed her issues with having to decide one way or the other but stated that it is her duty to make these kinds of decisions. Eric Myers, opposing neighbor, stated that until construction of the pool began there was no indication as to where the pool would be built. Motion by Massey, seconded by Jackel, accept recommendation of the ABOA and approve the variances to install a swimming pool 6.5 feet into the rear setback line and 4 feet into the 25 ft setback line off of 11th Street East on property described as 1080 East Gulf Beach Drive, Lot 11, Block J, Unit 2, St. George Island; Motion failed 2-3; Sanders, Lockley, Parrish opposed.

Alan Pierce – Director of Administrative Services – Report (10:38 AM) Mr. Pierce presented his report to the Board. 1- Board action to proclaim April 21, 2014 as PowerTalk21 Day as requested by MADD- Mothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD is promoting April 21, 2014 as the day for parents and caregivers of the young to embrace their role in influencing America’s youth and their decisions about drinking alcohol. There will be a free community parent workshop on April 21 by MADD Northwest Florida to give parents the tools in a parent handbook to effective talk to their teens about alcohol.


Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, to approve proclamation of April 21, 2014 as PowerTalk21 Day, as requested by MADD- Mothers Against Drunk Driving; Motion carried 5-0. 2- The Airport Advisory Committee and the airport consultants, AVCON, unanimously request the Board reconsider the rejection of the one bid for airport drainage and security improvements. The project was bid out in unit prices which allows for the consultants to negotiate with the one bidder to bring the project within the budget. The work proposed in this bid is using money that will expire on June 30, 2014, and both the contractor and the consultant believe that there is not time to re-bid the project and get the work done before the deadline. My comment at the last Board meeting was inaccurate regarding what the consultant was doing in negotiating with the one bidder. Commissioner Jackel expressed her concerns with the process of this bid and Staff’s last minute actions. She stated that she didn’t have a problem with the bidder. Chairman Sanders agreed with Commissioner Jackel’s comments. Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to award the bid for drainage and security improvements at the Airport to Poloronis Construction who was the only bidder on the project and previously rejected by the Board; Motion carried 5-0. 3- Board action to award the one bid to RAM Construction to improvements at the hanger now occupied by Mr. Randy Randolph. The grant funds to pay for this project also expire on June 30, 2014. $82,479 is the low bid and there are adequate grant funds to pay for the project. Mr. Pierce stated that $112,329 is the complete amount of funds available for this project. Motion by Massey, seconded by Lockley, to approve RAM Construction bid for entire amount of project in the amount of $112, 329; Motion carried 5-0. 4- Inform the Board that the Airport Advisory Committee heard a presentation at its March 10 meeting from US Air Force Civil Engineer Center, Mr. Dick Smith, on the structural thickness of the concrete at the airport. It had been assumed in Air Force documents that the concrete was between 8 to 10 inches thick in all areas where planes would land or taxi. With that assumption the Air Force was considering designating the Apalachicola airport as a Forward Area Refueling Point (FARP) for various training exercises and missions. However, after the Civil Engineer Center did some 95 core samples around the airport it was determined that the actual concrete thickness was really between 4 and 7 inches. This thickness of concrete is not adequate to support the type of planes the air force was considering using so the airport will not be part of any expansion of FARP training missions by the US Air Force. The airport will continue to be used for training by Special Forces in the manner which is already occurring. The concrete will support all of the types of private aircraft that currently use the airport so there will be no restriction on private aircraft.


5-Board action to award bids on two Alligator Point projects. CW Roberts was the low bidder with $127,102.25 for relocating the last segment of Alligator Drive. CW Roberts was the low bidder on repairing the revetment east of Tom Roberts with a price of $74,442.00. The bid is good for 60 days, and this is the project which DEP has advised us we do not have authorization to move forward. Attorney Shuler recommended that the Tom Roberts Road revetment project is tabled. The Board agreed. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Jackel, to award the Alligator Drive project in the amount of $127,102.25; Motion carried 5-0. 6- Remind Board we will be opening bids for the removal of debris from the destroyed revetment in front of South Shoal on April 1. Board action to authorize Preble-Rish to complete the design and handle the bidding of the project. FEMA will pay these costs. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, to authorize Preble-Rish to complete the design and handle the bidding of the debris removal from destroyed revetment in front of South Shoal; Motion carried 5-0. 7-Board action to approve document insertions into contracts for Bluff Road and the Carrabelle Multi-use Path as directed by DOT. The documents titled, “Required Contract Provisions” were referenced in the original contracts but DOT now wants them incorporated in the contracts directly. Future DOT contracts will have these required documents as part of the contract. Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to approve document insertions into contracts for Bluff Road and the Carrabelle Multi-use Path as directed by DOT; Motion carried 5-0. 8- Inform the Board that DOT has announced SCOP applications are open until May 9. In the announcement DOT states, “significant revisions to the SCOP program were approved by the 2009 Legislature which allows various types of projects (in addition to resurfacing) to be funded through this program. Candidate projects may include paving unpaved roads, addressing road related drainage, repairing county bridges.” Only 2 projects can be submitted from each county. Board direction on how to proceed with developing possible projects. Commissioner Parrish asked if multiple roads can be part of one project. The Board discussed funding for paving projects. Commissioner Jackel discussed the importance of adding Pine Street to this project, and if it is completed she would allow paving funding from her district to be shared by other districts. 9- Inform Board that Congress did repeal the increases in flood insurance premiums. Congress did not repeal the new maps.


Clay Smallwood, of Preble-Rish, recommended the following: Motion by Jackel, seconded by Massey, to award the bid to Roberts and Roberts for Oak Street paving project; Motion carried 5-0. Commissioner Jackel stated that she will abstain from voting on this matter based on comments made to her by one of the bidders and the recommendation of Attorney Shuler.

Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to award the bid to Roberts and Roberts for the Bayshore Drive project; Motion carried 4-0, Jackel abstained. Chairman Sanders asked that the following items are considered during the project; to be sure the City of Carrabelle puts in the new sewer lines before paving begins and to repair the culvert at the Fire Station on Oak Street. Mr. Pierce stated that he has the following information for the Board’s review: he has the 60% road plans for the bike path in Carrabelle and he has the 75% plans for the Armory project. Mr. Pierce stated that the second Meeting in April will be held in Carrabelle at 10:00 AM. Commissioner Jackel discussed an email she got regarding the SHIP and CDBG upcoming program not working on property that is in a flood zone. She wanted to be sure that these people receive help. The Board discussed this matter. Chairman Sanders asked Mr. Pierce about the four way stops in Lanark. Mr. Pierce stated that he now has keys for the Bay City Work Camp. Michael Shuler – County Attorney – Report Attorney Shuler stated that there are no action items but informed the Board that he is preparing for litigation. Commissioner Jackel asked Attorney Shuler to look into the advertising of “pole dancing” on St. George Island. Attorney Shuler stated he would look into this matter and report back to the Board. Mr. Pierce stated that he contacted VMS on this matter. Chairman Sanders asked Clay Smallwood, of Preble-Rish, if he was able to find out what the cost would be per mile for asphalt.

Ron Copeland, resident of Apalachicola, stated that additional water pipes are needed to provide fire hydrants in the area of Southland where he lives. Commissioner Parrish stated that he has been working on this matter for years but the City of Apalachicola was not able to go forward with this project, even though the County was willing to help with funding. Mr. Pierce suggested that Mr. Copeland approach the City of Apalachicola concerning this matter. Adjourn (11:24 AM) There being no further business, Chairman Sanders adjourned the Meeting. ____________________________ Cheryl Sanders, Chairman – FCBCC Attest: _____________________________ Marcia M.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, all hospitals in the region, Weems, TMH, and Bay Medical, all have agreements with the FCSO to provide reduced rates in the event an inmate needs medical attention. The Sheriff would like to have a similar agreement with Sacred Heart Hospital as he does not know where an inmate will end up in an emergency situation.

Motion by Parrish, seconded by Massey to approve to sign agreement with Sacred Heart to provide reduced rates for medical services provided to Sheriff’s Office, if needed; Motion carried 5-0. 2- Inform the Board that bids will be opened for the striping of Lake Morality Road on April 15.

Pine St. and 11th St., St. George Island. The box will be similar in size and shape to the one installed several years ago on Bluff Road just before the Bay City Road intersection.


Motion by Jackel, seconded by Massey, to approve Fairpoint Communications to install a communication box on the edge of the right of way at E. Pine St. and 11th St., St. George Island; Motion carried 5-0. 5-Inform the Board that the hearing with Capital City Bank and DEP over the repairs to the Alligator Drive revetment east of Tom Roberts Road has been delayed. Because of the delay I have asked FEMA for a time extension. It is unknown at this time if it will be granted. The current expiration of FEMA funds is June 30, 2014. Chairman Sanders expressed her concerns with the County losing this funding due to current litigation. Mr. Pierce and Attorney Shuler commented on this matter. 6- Inform the Board that at the direction of the Chairman I spoke with Mr. David Welker, Interim CEO of the BP Fund for economic injury to find out if the claims office in Apalachicola could remain open as it was closed March 26. Congressman Southerland’s office sent out an email saying they were working on the same issue. Mr. Welker said that the decision to close the Apalachicola office is part of a larger reduction and re-organization of the claims process. An office in Gulf Shores, Alabama was also closed when the Apalach office was closed, and several other offices were relocated or combined. The nearest BP claims office will now be at 7938 Front Beach Road, Panama City Beach, Florida, phone number 850-233-0727. Mr. Welker said that the federal judge handling the BP case was aware of the reduction in claims offices throughout the Gulf Coast, and that the decision was not going to be reversed. 7- Inform the Board that there is a serious issue with the future usefulness of the large culvert under Bluff Road that provides drainage for a large part of the airport. At this time Preble-Rish Engineers are reviewing options with DOT. If the culvert has to be replaced it will be expensive as it is a large culvert and traffic will have to be maintained while the culvert is being replaced. While the culvert is just outside airport property I have inquired with FDOT Aviation to see if some of the current airport drainage funds could be used to pay for this replacement as a large part of the flow that goes through this culvert comes from the airport. Mr. Pierce explained the details of this issue further. Clay Smallwood, of Preble-Rish, stated that the proposal from the contractor has been sent to DOT. Commissioner Parrish stated that this issue is delaying the other project that is going on at Bluff Road. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Massey, to authorize culvert project on Bluff Road, as it is an emergency; Motion carried 5-0. Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Pierce discussed why this wasn’t discovered during the preview of the original project. The Board discussed.


8- Update on DOT road paving in Franklin County and discussion of SCOP candidates. I have spoken to Ms. Vickie Kent, FDOT, about SCOP. This is what is in the pipeline for Franklin County road paving- 2014/15- Oak St. and Bayshore loop; 2016 Bald Point Road from beginning to end; 2017 Ellis Van Vleet St.; 2018 Bike Path on Island Drive from US 98 to base of St. George Island Bridge. The DOT is currently forecasting more funds for SCOP so that is why paving of unpaved roads has a greater chance now than before. However, SCOP projects are ranked by district so it really depends on what other counties submit and how those other projects score to know whether an unpaved road will get funded. The important criteria are still will the project relieve the state highway system of traffic/congestion; is it an evacuation route; is it an arterial road or feeder road. I have developed a list of 3 possible SCOP projects for Board consideration, all are unpaved roads- Pine St. on St. George Island; Mill Road in Carrabelle, and Teat Road west of Apalachicola. The deadline for submitting SCOP projects is May 9. I have asked Ms. Kent to talk to her supervisors to see if there is any additional guidance I can get regarding SCOP. Chairman Sanders, Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Pierce discussed this matter further. Commissioner Jackel asked Mr. Pierce to try and get the most points on these roads. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Lockley, to submit SCOP projects as presented; Motion carried 5-0. 9- Inform the Board that the annual FDOT airport inspection will take place April 10. 10- Inform the Board that Florida Pest Control will be starting to tent the Armory for termites tomorrow, Wed. April 2. They are bringing all their company resources to bear on this project and hope to have the building completely tented in one day. The tent will remain up with the fumigation process going on Thursday, and then the tent will come down Friday morning, April 4. I have informed the UF Extension Service that they must be out of the building by end of business today, Tuesday, April 1, and will be able to re-enter the building Friday afternoon, April 4. The school prom is scheduled to take place on Saturday night, April 5, and that will go on as scheduled. I have consulted with Nikki and she is working with the Prom sponsors to assist in setting up the Prom. The building will be safe to enter on Friday. Mr. JR Sapp, owner of Florida Pest Control, will be at the Armory on Wed. April 9 to inspect the work, and he invites all the county commissioners for a photo with him at 11 AM in front of the Armory on April 9. Florida Pest Control and BASF are generating quite a bit of publicity about the tenting of the Armory so there might be media coverage on April 2 and April 9. The Board discussed this matter further with Mr. Pierce. 11- Inform the Board that it will be at least another year before there is any definitive estimate on how much BP is going to have to pay in fines associated with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. According to a news article I received, the federal judge presiding over the case has agreed that


the third and final part of the litigation will start on Jan. 20, 2015. It is unknown how long the third phase will last, or when the judge would rule once the trial is complete. Chairman Sanders commented on the Gulf Coast Consortium Meeting that was held last week. 12- Inform the Board that the Sheriff’s Office had the Chairman sign an E-911 Grant application for some $17,000 for FairPoint Communications to continue to maintain the 911 equipment. The deadline for applying is today, April 1, so the Chairman signed the application last week so that it would arrive at the state on time. Mr. Pierce commented on the grant application for the new ambulance which was applied for by the Hospital. Clay Smallwood, of Preble-Rish, recommended awarding the Alligator Point Debris Removal project to Roberts and Roberts. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Jackel, to approve awarding bid for Alligator Point Debris Removal Project to Roberts and Roberts; Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Pierce discussed this project further. Commissioner Jackel asked Mr. Pierce to bring back information from FWC regarding the Fisheries funding at the next Meeting. Commissioner Jackel asked for Board action to pay the $300 membership fee for the Big Bend Continuum of Care Committee, which she was appointed to by the Board. Motion by Parrish, seconded by Massey, to approve payment of $300 membership fee to Big Bend Homeless Coalition; Motion carried 5-0. T. Michael Shuler – County Attorney Report (10:01 AM) Attorney Shuler presented his report to the Board. Action Items Ordinance 04-29 — Imposing Court Costs In 2004, the Board enacted ordinance 04-29, which imposed a $65 court cost to fund court system innovations, legal aid programs, local law libraries and alternate juvenile programs. The fee is collected for those who plead guilty or no-contest, or are convicted, or any felony, misdemeanor or criminal traffic offense. It does not include juvenile proceedings. The ordinance should be amended because the legislature has added that the fee can be collected in juvenile proceedings, but your ordinance is limited to criminal cases, and does not currently include juvenile cases.


Action Requested: Board authorization to schedule a public hearing to consider amending ordinance 04-29 to include the collection of the $65 court cost in juvenile proceedings. Commissioner Jackel asked Attorney Shuler to verify that the County has to collect this fee. He stated that he will have that information at the public hearing. Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, to approve scheduling a public hearing to consider amending ordinance 04-29 to include the collection of the $65 court cost in juvenile proceedings; Motion carried 5-0. Non-Action Informational Items Capital City Bank The final hearing scheduled for April rd and 3"1, 2014 has been postponed until April 21', 2014, at the bank's request due to a last minute loss of an expert witness. The final hearing in on the bank's challenge to the after-the-fact permit issued for one of the revetments at Alligator Point. This revetment runs about 800 feet east of the intersection of Tom Roberts Road and Alligator Drive. Mr. Pierce has requested an extension of time on the $140,000.00 FEMA grant, which expires June 30, 2014.Chambers Bank To date, Chambers Bank has not hired a contractor for the clean-up in Eastpoint, Florida. However, the bank's representative traveled to Franklin Count to view the site on March 17, 2014, and the bank's attorney informed me last week that the person handling this project for the bank was out of the office last week. Last week and also on March 31, 2014, the bank's attorney says that they have spoken to several contractors and are waiting on quotes. They also inform me that they are following up with the contractors regarding the need for quotes. In short, the bank is adequately communicating with the county at this time and appears to be moving forward. Unless the board directs otherwise, I will continue to work with the bank. I will inform the board if I believe that the bank is no longer working with the county in good faith. If that occurs, I will proceed with the lawsuit that the county has filed against Chambers Bank. Gulf Shore Boulevard I have received all of the easement deeds for the relocation of Gulf Shore Boulevard, except for lot 4. The owner of lot 4 has indicated that they will sign and deliver the deed to Franklin County, but the owners are scattered, literally, from the east coast to the west coast. There are a total of six lots and all the rest have signed and delivered the easement deeds to me. City of Apalachicola On March 20, 2014, the County filed its Answer to the city's lawsuit against Franklin County. In that lawsuit, the city claims a right to allocate RESTORE Act funding independent of the county. The RESTORE Act does not provide any such right to the city. The city has refused my request that it cite to the provision of the law granting any such right to them. I also filed a Counter-Claim against the city. The Counter-Claim requests the Court to: Enter an order declaring that the city is not authorized by the RESTORE Act to recommend projects for funding independent of the county; and


Enter an order declaring that the city has not properly invoked or followed Chapter 164, which is known as the "Governmental Dispute Resolution Procedures Act." The city improperly invoked this act seeking to conduct joint meetings with the county, but the city failed to follow the very law that it invoked by failing to conduct meetings according to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in that law. The city is required to file its Answer to Franklin County's lawsuit on or before April 4, 2014. Eastpoint Water and Sewer On March 25, 2014, Mr. George Allen called Mr. Alan Pierce and informed him that EPWSD had located a letter from the late 1980's which stated that the district had accepted ownership of the sewer lift station serving the Franklin County Jail. I received an email from the district's attorney to the same affect. It appeared that the matter was resolved and a lawsuit would be necessary. Unfortunately, on March 27, 2014, the district's attorney, Kristy Banks, delivered to me a letter which appears to indicate that the district does not believe that it is responsible for the sewer lift station serving the jail, and requested that the county draft an agreement for their consideration. The district also injected two new issues regarding the water system and the storm water runoff from the landfill. The district has owned, operated, maintained, repaired and collected fees from both the water and sewer systems, including the jail lift station, for 25 years. Unless the board directs otherwise, I do not intend to negotiate with the district concerning its ownership and responsibility for the jail's lift station, or the two new issues raised by the district regarding the water system and the storm water at the land fill. I have asked Ms. Banks to clarify and send a definitive letter indicating that the district accepts its ownership of the aforementioned list station, together with the responsibility to maintain and repair it. I have asked that Ms. Banks send me that letter by April 1, 2014. If such a letter is not received by then, I will presume that the district maintains its prior official policy that it does not own the sewer lift station at the jail. Board and Attorney Shuler discussed this matter further. Courthouse Roof After diligent search and inquiry, I have not been able to locate credible evidence that All South Roofing repaired or installed the roof water drains that failed last year and flooded the courthouse. Accordingly, I will not file a lawsuit against them. Commissioner Jackel asked that the County keep the heat on with the cleaning and clearing up of the waterfront in Eastpoint. Commissioners’ & Public Comments (10:06 AM)


The Board discussed the language for the budget letters. Commissioner Jackel suggested a 2% cut for all departments and offices so that the County budget could stay at rollback. Commissioner Parrish stated that he would also like to keep the budget at rollback rate. Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to direct the Clerk to send budget letters requesting a 2% cut of all departments and offices; Motion carried 4-1, Lockley opposed. Allan Feifer, APTA, offered some suggestions for the Board to address the budget this year. Mrs. Johnson asked what to do if a budget is turned in without a 2% cut and also asked if this applies to the non-governmental departments. Chairman Sanders stated that the 2% does apply to non-governmental departments and to not accept any budget without the 2% cut. Commissioner Lockley stated that he isn’t in favor of any change to the budget unless the entire Board is in agreement and is willing to vote for the budget. Chairman Sanders discussed issues with tax amounts. Commissioner Jackel recognized Rex Pennycuff and thanked him for his service to the County. Commissioners Lockley and Jackel discussed the new location of the Franklin County Tourist Development Council office, which is at the old Apalachicola High School. Commissioner Parrish commented on the traffic changes on Bluff Road while the culvert project is in process. Chairman Sanders commented on the recent passing of residents in Franklin County and offered her condolences to the families. Adjourn (10:21 AM) There being no further business, Chairman Sanders adjourned the Meeting. ____________________________ Cheryl Sanders, Chairman – FCBCC Attest: _____________________________ Marcia M.

Clerk’s Report to the Board 4/15/14:

1-I need Board approval of a contract between the State Department of Revenue and the County which provides for

State approved payments to the County for service of process in child support cases. To explain, when the State files

proceedings in child support cases, our Sheriff’s department may be required to serve papers on individuals involved

with the cases. The Sheriff’s Department usually charges a fee for that service of either $20 or $70 which is set by

law, but they don’t collect the monies in these types of cases. With the contract, the County can be reimbursed at a

rate of 66% which would help offset our costs of performing this service. The current contract was approved for 3

years in 2011, and this contract period would run for 3 years from July 1, 2014 until June 30, 2017. Attorney Shuler

has received a copy of the contract for review.

Report to the Board of County Commissioners

April 15, 2014

1- Inform the Board that Preble-Rish and the county are still working with DOT to

determine the best course of action on the Bluff Road culvert. At this time, DOT is

reviewing the drainage calculations as they want to make sure that the proposed culvert

replacement will be the proper size. There is still the possibility that they will share in

the replacement costs. The Bluff Road paving will continue and the construction

company is monitoring the culvert.

2- At a previous meeting the Chairman requested that Preble-Rish inspect Pine St in

Lanark Village for the placement of 4 way stops at Pine and Parker, and Pine and

Hefernan Drive. Upon evaluation, Clay Smallwood says that it would be suitable for

those intersections to be made 4 way stops. The speed limit on those roads is already 15

mph. Board action to designate these 2 intersections as 4 way stops.

3- At a previous meeting, the Board had requested an update on the Federal Fisheries

Disaster funds. I have spoken with Jim Estes, and I have met with other officials

involved in the allocation of funds. At this time DEO is drafting a spending plan for all

of the funds, and this spending plan will be submitted to NOAA for approval. The

spending plan does not alter the allocation of funds the Board has previously seen, but it

has more details on which agency will be involved with which activity. The spending

plan should be submitted by April 30, and it will probably take NOAA 60-90 days to

review and approve the plan. After the plan is approved then the agencies can begin

disbursing funds. At this time, DEO will be responsible for the $500K in Vocational and

Educational Training; DACS will be responsible for the $768K in Processor Facility

Upgrades, and then DACS, FWC, and DEP will be administering the $4.5M in oyster

shelling money. There are meetings still to be held with oyster industry representatives

and state agencies to determine where the shell planting should take place.

I have also been approached by the owners of the fossilized shell mine on CR 67

to say that other states are seeking inquiries at the mine about acquiring shell. There is

not enough active shell available to provide all the shell material that needs to go back

into the Apalachicola Bay so some material will have to be fossilized shell. The mine is

building a slurry pipe to wash the shells so that they will be clean of mud and silt.

In previous shelling programs, the state of Florida has provided the shell but it

appears the state no longer is collecting shell or maintaining a shelling program so some

of the federal fishery funds will have to be used to purchase shell.

4- Inform the Board that FDOT did the annual airport inspection on April 10, and the

airport passed the inspection.

5- Inform the Board that I will not be at the May 6 Board meeting.

6- Inform Board that as part of the grant funded acquisition process for the parcel in

Eastpoint, county staff will be holding a public meeting to listen to public input on

proposed uses for the acquisition. Since we have already said in the pre-application that

the principal public use will be parking there will be little room for other public uses, but

the application process requires that we hold a public meeting to receive input. Mark

Curenton will receive public input on April 29 in the Annex at 5 PM.

7- The Board may recall that in January, 2014, the Board approved a $1.2M JPA with

DOT for the development of a new taxiway that will access the north/south runway with

the county’s industrial park. FDOT has fully executed the JPA so AVCON is now ready

to proceed with designing the taxiway. Board action to sign Task Order with AVCON.

At some point after July there will be another JPA, in the amount of $1.5M with

DOT for additional drainage work for the airport.

8- The Board directed that an application be developed and submitted to FDOT for the

funding of a “Planning Study for the Franklin County Segment of the Capital to Sea

Trail.” The date of the Board action was Jan. 21, 2014. Since that was so long ago and

the grant application is now going in I thought I would make a note in the Board minutes

of when the grant application was submitted. The deadline for submission is May 1.

9- Inform the Board that work is proceeding in the design of the extension of the

Carrabelle Beach Bike Path from Carrabelle Beach back to the Carrabelle Bridge (Tillie

Miller Bridge). The design phase is indicating that some additional right of way along

US 98 will have to be acquired as US 98 narrows from 100 feet to a 66 foot ROW in

certain areas.

10- Inform the Board that the Northwest Florida Water Management District has

determined that Gulf and Franklin counties will be exempt from the development of a

regional water supply plan based upon the results of the 2013 Water Supply Assessment

update done by the District. The District has determined that the completion of a major

surface water treatment plant in Gulf County and the overall reduction in growth and

water demands in the region warrant this decision. The District will re-evaluate this

determination by 2018 as part of the next district-wide water supply assessment.
