CONSENT AGENDA – PULLED FOR DISCUSSION/SEPARATE VOTE  
7.  
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an agreement with Dogs  
Playing for Life for dog enrichment at the Seminole County Animal  
Shelter. Countywide (Alan Harris, Emergency Management Director)  
Commissioner Lockhart stated she has spoken with Emergency Management Director  
Alan Harris about this item. There are two areas of the agreement on page 2, Sections  
4(a) and (b), that give her pause. In Section 4(a), she doesn't feel comfortable having  
a nonprofit organization given the authority to supervise county staff. She wants to  
strike the word "supervise" and change it to "work with." In Section 4(b), she would like  
to see further understanding where it says additional data may be requested by DPFL  
and shall be provided by County after conclusion of the term during "follow-up periods."  
She doesn't know what the follow-up periods are. She doesn't know what the  
additional data may be. She would like it hammered down a little bit more before  
agreeing to work with this group.  
Mr. Harris addressed the Board and advised he agrees with Commissioner Lockhart to  
replace the word "supervise" with "train." The organization is coming in to train county  
staff on the processes of this enrichment program. On Section 4(b), he agrees to strike  
the second sentence totally. Commissioner Lockhart agreed to the recommendation.  
Chairman Zembower confirmed with Mr. Harris this is time sensitive.  
With regard to public participation, no one spoke and public input was closed.  
Motion by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to approve and  
authorize the Chairman to execute an Agreement with Dogs Playing for Life, Inc., for  
dog enrichment at the Seminole County Animal Shelter with the modifications in  
Section 4(a) striking the word "supervise," and replacing it with "train"; and in Section  
4(b), striking the second sentence entirely that says additional data may be requested  
and shall be provided after conclusion of the term during follow-up periods.

V. WORKSESSION  
26.  
Dashboards (Andrea Wesser-Brawner, Chief Innovation and Strategic  
Initiatives Chief Officer and James Garoutsos, Chief Information Officer)  
Ms. Wesser-Brawner and Mr. Garoutsos addressed the Board and presented the  
Dashboard work session (presentation received and filed). The presentation was  
followed by Board comments and questions.  
Commissioner Lockhart commented Items A through G on the Phase 1- Draft  
Operations Dashboard Priorities need to be further defined and in plain language. Vice  
Chairman Herr suggested A is budget, B is operational excellence, D is safety, E is  
service to constituents, F is County's natural assets, and G is growth strategies. She  
clarified some of it will be internal and some of it will be external.  
Vice Chairman Herr added Under Phase 1 Operations, they need to add human  
resources which gets to open positions, turnover within departments, training, etc.  
Under Phase 2, permitting, planning, calls for public works, anywhere else where they  
are facing to a citizen that needs to be reported in terms of timing. She suggested  
contacting Crooms Academy. The students can start loading stuff up in the software,  
to include hiring them as temps and create that connectivity to the organization that  
may create future employees. She thinks the KSPs are too far out. She would like to  
see it happen sooner. They will need regular reports on where they are on it and  
access to viewing once it's running. The Board needs to know what resources are  
needed to speed up the process.  
Commissioner Dallari commented to make it simple. Each department needs to be  
somehow represented for transparency. It should be a tool for staff, the Board, and the  
citizens.  
Commissioner Constantine stated to get it out as quickly as possible but get it out right.  
Commissioner Lockhart clarified as they have these conversations, they are not lacking  
transparency. They are creating a method to have the transparent data more easily  
available. Vice Chairman Herr added it creates efficiency to take the manual burden  
off of staff.  
Chairman Zembower would ultimately like to see capability for the public to interact and  
report so it gets directed to the departments.  
Commissioner Lockhart added under Phase 1, Prioritize Metrics Available, she needs  
the metrics that are available provided to her.  
Under Recommendations/Requested Action, the Board agreed staff should rely on the  
Board for funding and policy direction, not the design.  
Chairman Zembower confirmed Ms. Wesser-Brawner had direction.  
27.  
Sustainability and Resiliency (Andrea Wesser-Brawner, Chief Innovation  
and Strategic Initiatives Officer, Kristian Swenson, Assistant County  
Manager and Chad Wilsky, Fleet and Facilities Director)  
Ms. Wesser-Brawner addressed the Board and introduced John Slot, Chief Technology  
Officer, and Paul Tweed, Program Manager, who presented the Sustainability and  
Resiliency work session (presentation received and filed). The presentation was  
followed by Board discussion and questions.  
Chairman Zembower wants to make sure they are careful because the Board has  
recently given direction on the intent to eventually vacate some of the properties and  
move to Five Points. He wants to make sure they are not considering certain things on  
certain assets that won't get a payback if they are not there in five years. From a  
return-on-investment standpoint, it is great to replace single-speed motors, pumps, and  
so forth with variable speed units that are more expensive. The ROI analogy needs to  
be crunched down on those examples as well as LED lighting.  
Vice Chairman Herr requested clarification regarding page 9 where it looks like energy  
prices went up. Mr. Slot responded the initial analysis is merely the consumption and  
the total bill. The next step is take it against the square footage and then look at more  
efficient activities. They did talk to Duke and FPL. Duke stated a lot of their increase  
has been because of storm remediation and they have a more rural population over  
the state. FPL gets the benefit of Miami and density.  
Vice Chairman Herr inquired about page 11 where there is mention there is going to be  
an audit to make sure they are paying the right rates on the bills they are already  
paying. Mr. Slot explained they will look at the rate structure for each of the meters and  
the bills they have to make sure they are in the right rate schedule for each of those  
assets. Mr. Gray added they were just paying the bills. When they started doing  
audits, they found a few things that are now being addressed. Vice Chairman Herr  
commented if it is happening in one area, then they need to look at other areas also.  
Vice Chairman Herr inquired about the Evergreen Fund referenced on page 20. Mr.  
Gray responded it's the consolidation of utilities so it's all in one area and they can look  
at it and monitor it so it's not sporadically throughout the county. It is an internal term.  
Vice Chairman Herr requested clarification on the formation of a countywide task force  
referenced on page 21. Mr. Slot responded that is under development. The intent is to  
do a collaborative approach to make sure there is an internal buy-in for the plan. Mr.  
Gray confirmed it is an internal working group that has representation from all  
departments.  
Vice Chairman Herr expressed her concerns on electric vehicles and hiring an energy  
manager. Mr. Gray advised that will be discussed during budget work sessions.  
Commissioner Lockhart requested clarification on the correlations on page 11. Mr. Slot  
explained they are looking at the energy sources they currently have. The intent is to  
show the assets in this pool. Mr. Slot confirmed the rates referenced on page 12 do  
not take into account street lighting MSBUs.  
Commissioner Lockhart expressed her concerns on Emergency Management-Led  
Electric Vehicle Program referenced on page 23. Mr. Slot explained the program is for  
storm evacuees with electric vehicles who will be coming through the county. Mr.  
Harris added they have already worked with FEMA and the State because this is a  
major concern for Central Florida for evacuees from the south. They are also working  
with the School Board on putting charging stations at the emergency shelters with an  
outside vendor handling all maintenance.  
Commissioner Constantine would like to ensure with everything built, they are looking  
at not only location but also sustainability.  
Commissioner Dallari stated at some point, he would like to have better definitions of  
social and economic growth. He is looking for a holistic approach.  
Chairman Zembower stated he didn't hear anything on telematics. He wants them to  
be very deliberate and strategic from the standpoint there are nearby jurisdictions who  
have spent millions of dollars on sustainability and never acted upon those. It is  
important to him that whatever proposals come to them are tangible, actionable, and  
make sense financially to deploy those. Commissioner Lockhart added she is not  
looking for virtue signaling.  
Chairman Zembower confirmed staff had direction.

IX. DISTRICT COMMISSIONER REPORTS  
District 3 - Commissioner Constantine  
Commissioner Constantine reported on Lifeboat Project, Seminole County Job Fair, India Fest  
at the Hindu Temple, United Cerebral Palsy Gala, the bill signing by the governor on opioid  
abatement, MPO Alliance meeting, German American Society Springtoberfest, Central Florida  
Zoo's Brews Around the Zoo, Veteran's Appreciation Luncheon, Wekiva Island Earth Day,  
and the Orlando Sanford Airport air show.  
The Commissioner congratulated everyone on the ribbon-cutting for the Justice James Perry  
Annex at Five Points.  
District 4 - Commissioner Lockhart  
Commission Lockhart reported on All Souls Catholic School 70th anniversary,  
The Commissioner reported she has had several citizens reach out to her concerned about  
whether or not they fall into the septic-to-sewer conversion GIS area. You can only zoom in  
so far. If you are on a border, you can't see it very well. She has spoken to Mr. Gray about  
the possibility of having GIS staff work on this.  
The Commissioner stated Lynx fares have not increased since 2009. She wants to make  
sure she is conveying the BCC's concerns to Lynx. She is not seeking permission to go and  
ask for a fare increase, but as they look at their responsibility to Lynx increasing year after  
year, she thinks it would be the right fiduciary thing to do a fare study. Chairman Zembower  
inquired if she was asking for direction from the Board. Commissioner Lockhart responded  
she would like the Board to give her some latitude to poke and prod. There was Board  
discussion and Chariman Zembower stated the direction for Commissioner Lockhart, as the  
representative on Lynx, is to ask for a study, ask for whatever focus group studies, work  
product they've done, and what it really means, and why they have not raised the rate.  
Commissioner Lockhart advised there was a recent article in the Orlando Sentinel about the  
Osceola Commission discussing increasing fares for SunRail. She thinks this goes to the  
same type of conversation. Fares have not been addressed for SunRail since its inception.  
She is mentioning this for future conversation.  
She had a meeting with members of the Rolling Hills Community, not the association,  
regarding concerns of playground placements and some other things. She is putting this on  
the Board's radar because there were some specific things they were requesting related to  
code enforcement and changes in the Code. She advised those members if they wanted the  
Code modified in some way that it would take three votes of the Board to do that and perhaps  
they would need to contact some of the other Commissioners to talk about the things they  
wanted to see changed.  
District 5 - Commissioner Herr  
Vice Chairman Herr reported on the Port Authority and the groundbreaking for State Road  
516, which is part of CFX's latest project. It will connect Orange and Lake Counties. It has  
charging built into the road for electric vehices. It will be studied nationwide as a pilot project.  
It also builds a wildlife corridor and has Florida friendly plants.  
The Vice Chairman attended a Midway Coalition meeting regarding acquiring right-of-way. It  
was rolled out at the meeting that there are conceptual drawings on the county's website for  
parks in Midway. They have not found full funding for those projects yet.  
Vice Chairman Herr reported on attending All Souls 70th birthday, Rescue Outreach Mission,  
and Bookertown's community center.  
District 1 - Commissioner Dallari  
Commissioner Dallari thanked the stormwater crew for their work on Chapman Road. The  
Commissioner reported on the Veteran's Appreciation Luncheon and Child Abuse Awareness  
Month.  
District 2/Chairman's Report  
Chairman Zembower reported on the Orlando Sanford Airport, ribbon-cutting for the Justice  
James Perry Annex at Five Points, and other events he attended.  
The Chairman reported on road issues in his district. There are some private road residents  
who want their roads paved. He has advised them of the MSBU program. Illegal dumping  
has been happening on some of the private roads near the Osceola Road Landfill. In the  
middle of the night, someone is dumping debris in the middle of the night, such as  
construction debris, tires, etc. He has spoken to the Sheriff's Office regarding patrolling that  
corridor. There is also an issue with uncovered truckloads going to the landfill leaving debris  
down Osceola Road. Once a week, the Solid Waste Landfill crew is cleaning up the debris  
from 46, down Osceola Road, and to the Landfill. FDOT 5 is responsible for the 46 area.
