Acceptance of the Florida Legislative Session Final Report, and Request to Schedule the Board Workshop on the 2015 State and Federal Legislative Priorities for Tuesday, October 28, 2014 from 1:30 3:00 p.m. County Administrator Long introduced the item. Christina Paredes, Intergovernmental Affairs and Special Projects Coordinator provided the following highlights of the 2014 Legislative Session: Recognized the success of the legislative community dialogue meetings which are hosted by the County and led by Commissioner Desloge. Total 2015 state budget of $77 billion (3.5% increase). Leon County was awarded funding for two water quality projects - Robinson Road Flood Relief ($350,000) and Septic to Sewer Project ($75,000). $500,000 was allocated for a study by the Board of Governors to determine the benefits and consequences of dividing the FAMU-FSU Engineering School. $100,000 in funding for the new Comprehensive Emergency Services Center. $400 million fee cut in vehicle registration ($30 to $25 per vehicle) Three Sales Tax Holidays were approved: Hurricane Preparedness, Back to School, and Energy Efficient Appliances ($8.4 million impact to local governments statewide). No major legislative action taken on Juvenile Detention Cost Share Reform. Board Priorities: Fueling Assistance for Disabled Drivers: An amendment was passed to ensure local ordinances were not preempted. Internet Sales Tax: No major legislative action passed; however, Amazon began collecting sales tax on May 1, 2014. Communications Service Tax: Modernizes the definition of Prepaid calling arrangement as part of the tax and fee cuts ($11.2 million impact to local governments statewide). Other Legislation of Interest: 2016 Legislative Session: Modifies the start date of 2016 Legislative Session to January 12th. Florida GI Bill: Expands education and employment opportunities for veterans. Springs Protection: No major legislative action was taken, but $30 million was included for water quality. Ethics Reform: Four hours of ethics training each calendar year, this includes County Commissioners. Telemedicine: No major legislative action taken; however Governor Scott vetoed Tallahassee Memorial Hospital $1 million pilot program. Federal: Construction on the Veteran Affairs National Cemetery is anticipated to begin in the Fall 2014. Jeff Sharkey, Capital Alliance Group, elaborated on some of the issues presented by Ms. Paredes. He spoke on the passage of the Disabled Fueling Assistance Bill and acknowledged the efforts of the local disability stakeholder community, specifically Dr. J.R. Harding. He also discussed the $100,000 appropriation for the Emergency Service Center for the Homeless and suggested that there is a potential for more support in the next session, as the proposed facility is recognized as a model statewide for managing local homelessness issues. Attachment #1 Page 2 of 10> Page 15 of 1954 Posted at 9:00 p.m. on June 30, 2014 16. Regular Meeting & Public Hearings Page 3 June 10, 2014 Commissioner Dailey thanked Commissioner Desloge for his leadership and representation on behalf of Leon County and as President of the Florida Association of Counties. He asked if the County has any plans for analyzing the impact of moving the timeframe of the legislative session on the local economy. Ken Morris, Economic Development & Business partnerships Director, responded that the move provides an opportunity to promote local events/activities scheduled in the spring. Commissioner Proctor noted that while essential services are provided to State governments, the County receives no property tax revenue from the vast parcels of land occupied by the State and opined that the County should be compensated for this loss of revenue. He asked that the Countys lobbying team pursue compensation from the State. He requested that the legislative report be modified to extract the $500,000 allocation for the FAMU/FSU College of Engineering Study as it provides no benefit to FAMU or FSU; the allocation was made to the Board of Governors. Commissioner Proctor discussed the impact that the legislature has on the local economy and wondered how it compared to FSU and FAMU football week-ends. Commissioner Desloge commended the Countys lobbying team for their hard work and commented that the legislative dialogue meetings were of benefit to not only the County, but other local partners. He invited his colleagues to join him at these meetings next session. Regarding juvenile detention cost share reform, Commissioner Desloge noted that there was some movement in that the detention cost-share was adjusted from 70-30 to 57-43 (county and state share respectively). Commissioner Lindley voiced her support for the practice of telemedicine and perceived this as a way to reach rural and outlying communities. She asked if there were any indicators that the issue would come back up next session. Ms. Paredes responded that the legislation did receive a lot of movement and discussion and believes it will be a significant topic of conversation next year. Commissioner Proctor expressed disappointment that springs protection did not receive the support that was anticipated. Mr. Sharkey stated that while the Senate was very supportive, it did not garner the support in the House. He mentioned however, that leadership in both the House and Senate have indicated their support going forward and anticipates something positive over the next two years. Commissioner Proctor conveyed his frustration that Medicaid expansion was not adopted and thanked the Board for going on the record and adopting a Resolution urging state leaders to fully support this issue. Commissioner Desloge moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Maddox, approval of Options 1 & 2: 1) Accept the 2014 Legislative Session Final Report, and 2) Schedule the Board Workshop on the 2015 State and Federal Legislative Priorities for Tuesday, October 28, 2014 from 1:30 3:00 p.m. Chairman Dozier, the Boards representative on the Homeless Coalition, wanted to make sure that the coalition continues to pursue legislative funding. County Administrator Long stated that this issue will be included as part of the 2015 legislative workshop. Regarding the FAMU/FSU School of Engineering Study, she suggested that the Board send a letter to the Board of Governors asking that the study take into account various perspectives from the community and not just economics. Commissioner Lindley supported the suggestion and indicated that a separate motion would be made to move this forward. The motion carried 7-0 to accept the report. Commissioner Lindley moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Dailey, to send a letter to the Board of Governors encouraging them to take into account various community perspectives in regards to the FAMU/FSU Engineering School study. The motion carried 7-0. Attachment #1 Page 3 of 10> Page 16 of 1954 Posted at 9:00 p.m. on June 30, 2014 17. Regular Meeting & Public Hearings Page 4 June 10, 2014 6.

He added that, with Board support, the project would be advanced to the Community Redevelopment Agency as a County project. Cherie Bryant, Planning Manager, provided a DesignWorks team proposal for the Amtrak Complex. Chairman Dozier requested that staff discuss with the City the need for a crosswalk on Railroad Avenue at the Amtrak Complex. Commissioner Desloge moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Maddox, approval of Option 1: Direct staff to prepare a formal funding request in the amount of $518,000 for the Community Redevelopment Agencys consideration to implement the revitalization improvements and re-branding of the Historic Amtrak Complex. The motion carried 7-0. 7.

JCHERRIER CONSULTING REPRESENTS A TEAM OF NATURAL, APPLIED, AND SOCIOECONOMIC SCIENTISTS FROM THE ACADEMIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR WHOSE COLLECTIVE OBJECTIVE IS TO PROMOTE NATURAL SOLUTIONS FOR WATER RESOURCE SUSTAINABILITY. SPECIFICALLY, JCHERRIER CONSULTING PROVIDES SERVICES FOR ONSITE WATER MANAGEMENT THROUGH THE USE OF ACTIVATED GARDEN (SMALLER SCALE) OR BIORETENTION CELL (LARGER SCALE) SYSTEMS THAT BOTH REDUCE CONTAMINANT LOADING AND AID IN WATER CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT. A RAIN GARDEN IS A PLANT-BASED SYSTEM THAT MANAGES STORM-WATER RUNOFF, AND CAN BE CONTRASTED WITH BIO-RETENTION CELLS, SYSTEMS USED FOR LARGE-VOLUME OUTFLOWS (I.E. MUNICIPAL, AGRICULTURAL, AND INDUSTRIAL DISCHARGES). THESE SYSTEMS ARE RECOGNIZED, BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, AS A PROMISING ON-SITE, ECOSYSTEM BASED, BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICE FOR CONTROLLING STORMWATER RUNOFF. THESE SYSTEMS PROVIDE ON-SITE MANAGEMENT OF WATER RUNOFF, THEREBY REDUCING FINANCIAL Attachment #7 Page 1 of 5> Page 43 of 1954 Posted at 9:00 p.m. on June 30, 2014 44. BURDENS ON MUNICIPALITIES AND ASSOCIATED REGULATORY AGENCIES BUT UNLIKE CONVENTIONAL GREY INFRASTRUCTURE, RETENTION PONDS, AND CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS, THEY DO NOT REQUIRE A LARGE LAND FOOTPRINT. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM WITH THESE SYSTEMS IS THEY ARE PASSIVE AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS FOR CONTAMINANT REMOVAL IS VARIABLE AND INCONSISTENT. A SOLUTION FOR IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCIES OF THESE SYSTEMS IS TO INTRODUCE SOME DEGREE OF ENGINEERING THAT MAKES THEIR EFFECTIVENESS MORE CONSISTENT AND ALLOWS FOR MORE ADAPTABILITY TO CHANGES IN OPERATING CONDITIONS. RECENT WORK CARRIED OUT BY CHERRIERS RESEARCH GROUP HAS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HYBRID SOLUTION BY INTEGRATING ENGINEERING PRINCIPALS INTO A PASSIVE RAIN GARDEN/BIORETENTION CELL APPROACH. THIS ECOSYSTEM-BASED WATER RETENTION AND RE-USE SYSTEM (ECO-WARES; PATENT PENDING) TECHNOLOGY CAN CONTROL WATER RETENTION TIME AND SOIL COMPOSITION/POROSITY, WHICH ARE CRITICAL FOR MAXIMIZING THE EFFICIENCIES FOR CONTAMINANT REMOVAL. SYSTEMS INTEGRATED WITH ECO-WARES TECHNOLOGY CAN DRAIN AND TREAT VOLUME INFLOWS FROM A WATERSHED TWENTY-FIVE TIMES ITS SIZE WHILE ALSO ALLOWING FOR WATER REUSE AND CONSERVATION. THIS IS A COMPLETELY SCALABLE AND CUSTOMIZABLE SYSTEM FOR ANY TERRAIN OR RAINWATER/STORMWATER/IRRIGATION FLOW CONTROL WITH APPLICATIONS RANGING FROM SMALL SCALE RESIDENTIAL LAWNS OR MUNICIPAL PARKS TO LARGE SCALE MUNICIPAL, AGRICULTURAL OR INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES.
