Franklin County Extension Activities March 4 – March 17, 2015

UF/IFAS Extension Faculty have been involved in the following Extension activities during this period.

General Extension Activities:

Franklin County Extension staff met with the Extension Cluster Team staff from Wakulla and Gulf Counties

to coordinate multi-county efforts and assistance.

Sea Grant Extension

Extension Director attended the first week of the Sea Grant Academy training for new Sea Grant Agents in

Annapolis, MD. Travel was funded by FL Sea Grant.

Extension staff continues to work with county staff on the sea turtle lighting grant. Thus far the office has

received approximately 37 homeowner agreements to facilitate lighting retrofits with turtle friendly

equipment. Approval has been received from FWC on bulbs and fixtures to purchase. County sea turtle staff

met with representatives from the Sea Turtle Conservancy to coordinate who is working with various property

owners and talk about bulb and fixture types.

Extension Director is continuing to coordinate with other panhandle Sea Grant staff to host a meeting related

to sea turtle lighting ordinances and their implementation. The meeting will take place at the Bay County

Extension office and will occur on March 18. Franklin County will be well represented with an estimated 10

people in attendance.

Family and Consumer Sciences

Franklin County’s Food and Nutrition Program is being implemented with the grant-funded position housed in

the Extension Office. Family Nutrition Program Assistant has been making contacts with citizens of the

county to provide information related to the program.

The Extension office is now scheduling appointments to provide tax preparation services through the VITA

program with a SKYPE workstation at the Armory. This is being done through the help of agent Shelley

Swenson from the Wakulla County FCS Extension program. This will take place on most Thursdays in March

as a pilot to gauge community interest for the future. The first session was held on March 5th

and was very

successful.

4-H Youth Development

UF/IFAS 4-H faculty from across the District held their annual meeting in Apalachicola. The Extension

Director assisted with a field trip on the lower Apalachicola River.

Franklin County Public Library

Director’s Report

BOCC Meeting

March 17, 2015

AARP Free Tax assistance is continuing at both branches of the FCPL. I am encouraging more and more for

people to file their short form taxes at the library, because we must have at least 50 returns for AARP to

consider Franklin County next year.

The organization, Rock By the Sea has again placed Franklin County Public Library as one of recipients from

their fund raising efforts. The donation this non-profit organization gifts to the library will be used for the

2015 Summer Reading Program.

The group Melodime will be coming back in May to play for Franklin County youth! The “I Play Along Too”

group works with musicians and teachers who are willing to donate musical instruments and lessons to youth

who can’t afford the items or lessons. I have given them a list of interested youths that would like to take part

in this program. They have donated a guitar, signed by their members to be placed in a special place in

remembrance of this partnership. Staff and volunteers look forward to seeing Franklin County youth learn

music at the librar

Sgt. Bud Dasher of the Carrabelle Police Department has volunteered personal time to help people with basic

computer skills at both the Eastpoint and Carrabelle branches. He will be there from 1:00 pm to 3:00pm on

the first and third Wednesday of each month in Carrabelle and the second and fourth Wednesday of each

month from 1:00pm to 3:00pm at the Eastpoint Branch.

Our staff is now gearing up for the 2015 Summer Reading Program “Every Hero has a Story” This summer

program should be an exciting and fun adventure in reading and activity as children and youth get to meet our

local heroes in the community. We hope to bring local fireman, policemen, and others who serve the Franklin

County Community. Children will also learn about four-footed service animals and how they serve the

“handi-capable”

Tomorrow, March 18th

, I will be attending Library Days at the Capital in Tallahassee. The Florida Library

Association will have materials and join in this huge event. Library supporters from across the State of

Florida will meet for this opportunity to thank government representatives for past and future support of public

libraries. If anyone wishes to attend with me, they can contact me at the library.

WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA? Social media is a way to have a conversation with our audience.

Facebook – a virtual public forum I like Oysters. Check out my picture album

from my vacation to SGI. Facebook is a popular free social networking website that allows registered users to create profiles, upload photos and video, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues.

Pinterest – a virtual corkboard Here’s a recipe for oyster stew Pinterest offers visual discovery, collection,

sharing, and storage tool. Users create and share the collections of visual bookmarks (boards). Boards are created through a user selecting an item, page, website, etc. and pinning it to an existing or newly created board.

Instagram – a virtual photo album Here’s a picture of me eating an oyster

Instagram is a fun way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever.

Twitter – a virtual public forum, you’re limited to 30 seconds to speak. Apalachicola #oysters are my favorite

Twitter is an online social networking service that enables users to send and read short 140-character messages called "tweets".

YouTube – a virtual video library Watch me eating my first oyster

YouTube allows people to discover, watch and share originally-created videos. YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small.

HOW TO CAPATILIZE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA? Ad Campaigns

To reach more people, to engage and start a conversation these social media channels offer

advertising opportunities. We would like to utilize this feature and start an ad campaign on

Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube.

Targeting

Most of the advertising allows us to geographically target certain areas, age groups and

interests. This targeting will allow our ads to be highly effective.

Tracking

Since the ads are all internet (and mobile) tracking will be accurate and will help us select the

future ad buys.

Signing for Memorial Roadway Designations 2-35-1 Section 2.35 SIGNING FOR MEMORIAL ROADWAY DESIGNATIONS 2.35.1 PURPOSE

The purpose of this section is to provide guidance to the districts on the installation of signs when a roadway has been given a memorial designation by the Florida Legislature. 2.35.2 BACKGROUND (1) Over the years, the Florida Legislature has dedicated, named, and otherwise

titled roadways in Florida. The designated roads can be under the jurisdiction of either the Department or local government. (2) Records kept in the Department's Transportation Statistics Office identify the

earliest dedicated roadway as the W.W. Clark Memorial Bridge on State Road 580 between Safety Harbor and Oldsmar. This was dedicated by the State Road Board on July 6, 1922. Since that time, every county and most cities have participated in officially naming some roadway feature. 2.35.3 SIGNING PROCESS (1) The Florida Legislature designates the roadways based on recommendations

from a city or county commission, individual state agencies, or civic groups. (2) Upon official designation by the Florida Legislature, it is the responsibility of the

legislative sponsors of the designation to obtain local resolutions in accordance with Section 334.071(3), F.S. (3) After receiving a copy of the local resolution, the Department shall begin the

process to have the signs installed on the State Highway System. (4) Within the Department, the process for the installation of these signs involves the

following offices: (a) District Public Information Office (b) District Traffic Operations Office (c) District Maintenance Office (d) State Traffic Engineering and Operations Office (e) Transportation Statistics Office

Signing for Memorial Roadway Designations 2-35-2 (5) Each district has their own signing process in place, and it varies as to which of

the above district offices initiates the process. However, it is important that all the above district offices are notified and kept informed as to the status of roadway designations within their district after each legislative session. (6) Each district will coordinate the installation of the signs with the legislative

sponsor of the designation. (7) Memorial names may not appear on guide signs or on any other than the standard sign, in accordance with Section 2M.10 of the MUTCD 2.35.4 SIGN INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE (1) Signs shall be installed and maintained by the Department on the State Highway

System. (2) On non-limited access facilities, one sign per direction shall be installed in accordance with Section 2M.10 of the MUTCD. (3) On limited access facilities, one sign per direction shall be installed in

accordance with Section 2M.10 of the MUTCD. 2.35.5 SIGN DESIGN (1) The signs used for Memorial Roadway Designations shall be a brown panel with yellow lettering. An example of this sign is shown in Figure 2.35-1. Figure 2.35-1. Memorial Roadway Designation Sign (2) The exact sign detail for this sign can be found at the Department's Sign Library

Report to the Board of County Commissioners

March 17, 2015

1- Inform the Board that Commissioner Jackel and I met with representatives of the Big

Bend Homeless Coalition, also known as the Big Bend Continuum of Care. Attending

the meeting was Leon County Commissioner Dozier. The meeting was one of several the

Big Bend staff will have with the outlying counties. The discussion centered on how the

face of homelessness is changing, and how it is different in rural counties. The big city

problem of a homeless person sleeping in a doorway is not a common problem in rural

areas, so the Continuum staff is taking assessments of all the counties to see what

common issues we all have related to the homeless. Provide Board with packet from

meeting.

2- Inform the Board that the Alligator Water District has sent the county a letter advising

us that they have informed DEP that “we (the District) are unable to provide the

minimum earthen cover required for the waterline of a section of Gulf Shore Blvd. due to

the extreme erosion and failure of Franklin County to maintain the road. Failure to

maintain is creating, among other things, a very serious fire safety issue due to inability

to properly maintain fire hydrants and accordingly the ability to provide fire service.”

As the Board is aware, the county was stopped by DEP from making any repairs

to the road. However, the Board has authorized up to $10K out of the Bald Point Trust

Fund for the cost of removing the old asphalt, and for that activity I did get a field permit

from DEP which included the placement of beach compatible fill in the area of greatest

erosion. I believe the county has done all it can within the limits of the DEP field permit

to protect the ROW from erosion., including the fire hydrant referenced by the District.

At this time FEMA in Washington has yet to approve the relocation of Gulf Shore

Blvd, and I have yet to find a funding source to buy out the 7 lots that need this section of

Gulf Shore Blvd.

3- Provide Board with copy of bridge reports for the following bridges. The original

bridge reports will be given to the Road Dept. for storage.

A) Bridge at Womack Creek (CR67)- The inspection concluded, “The Bridge is

not posted. Based upon recent field inspections and the 2011 load analysis, posting

restrictions are not considered necessary at this time.

B) Bridge at Gully Branch (Burnt Bridge Road): The inspection concluded, “The

Bridge is not posted. Based upon recent field inspections and the 2011 load analysis,

posting restrictions are not considered necessary at this time.”

C) Bridge at Crooked River (CR 67): The inspection concluded, “The Bridge is

not posted. Based upon recent field inspections and the 2011 load analysis, posting

restrictions are not considered necessary at this time.”

D) Bridge at Trout Creek (Mill Road): The Bridge is not posted. Based upon

recent field inspections and the 2000 load analysis, posting restrictions are not considered

necessary at this time.”

3- Provide Board with copy of grant application and notice of award for the acquisition of

the Ell’s Court property. The official title of the grant application is Apalachicola Bay/

St. George Sound Conservation: Island View Maritime Forest and Shoreline Restoration.

4- Inform Board that Mr. Kal Knickerbocker has forwarded the Board’s letter about the

new summer harvesting rules to FDA for consideration.

5- Board update on RESTORE activities. The US Treasury is slowing going through

their process of getting their own personnel up to speed on RESTORE rules and

applications. Gulf County has decided to hire consultants to develop their Multi-Year

Implementation Plans (MYIP). The MYIP is the first step in accessing RESTORE funds,

and the MYIP has to be approved by Treasury. Wakulla County is also discussing hiring

a consultant. I believe it would be prudent for the Board also to consider selecting a

consultant. The first step would be to advertise a Request for Qualifications, and then the

Board would select the most qualified firm. The Treasury Dept. is approving Planning

Grants so the small counties have some method of paying for the development of the

MYIP. Board discussion.

6- When the Board took action to advertise for an entry level position to fill the vacancy

that will be created by the retirement of Rachel Ward, I failed to ask for approval to put

in-house notices to actually fill the positions of Zoning Administrator (Rachel’s position),

and then Planning Administrator (Amy’s position). Both of these are responsible

positions requiring knowledge of zoning and floodplain management, but I believe I still

need to have approval to advertise in-house to fill the positions. I am bringing it up now

because Ms. Ward has moved her retirement date up to May 15th

.

7- Board action to approve a Resolution associated with the Boating Improvement Grant

for Old Ferry Dock that I should have had at the last meeting. The Resolution says the

Board supports the grant application and that Mark Curenton is applying on behalf of the

Board.

8- Board action to sign contract with Genesis Group for the permitting and design of the

Bayshore Sidewalk project. The Board had selected Genesis and now we have negotiated

a contract that has been approved by DOT.

9- Board action to approve 2 TDC Budget Amendments to transfer funds from the TDC

Reserves for:

A) $15,000 from Reserves to Promotion to support of the Dixie Youth

Tournament

B) $10,000 from Reserves to Equipment for the replacement of playground

equipment

10- Inform the Board that I did send a letter to multiple recipients regarding the possible

end to LIP Payments as discussed at the last meeting by the Health Dept. The bottom

line is the LIP program is caught in a battle between the state and federal government,

and the outcome will be affecting a lot more counties than just Franklin.

11-Remind Board that FDOT has opened the window for the CIGP grant program., and

we have until April 27 to submit 1 CIGP application. The Board has until April 17 to

submit 2 SCOP applications. The past awards by FDOT have heavily favored

resurfacing projects over any new construction. The Board could consider any bridge

repair projects. While the bridges are all deemed safe there could repairs that need to be

made to them.
