District 2 - Commissioner Zembower  
Commissioner Zembower announced recent and upcoming meetings and events. He  
discussed a situation where the Fire Department helped children out of a locked car parked at  
a dance studio. The Commissioner stated he has a request for the Commissioners to write  
some letters on behalf of Honor Flight Central Florida. He'll circulate that to the  
Commissioners' offices so they'll have all the details on that. Regarding the 2026 property  
and casualty insurance renewal detail, he thanked staff for saving the taxpayers almost  
$400,000 on the renewal.  
District 3 - Commissioner Constantine  
Commissioner Constantine announced recent and upcoming events and meetings.  
District 4 - Commissioner Lockhart  
Vice Chairman Lockhart discussed the recent Rosenwald Community Project and Moleaer  
meetings. She suggested there is potential of some type of pilot project to better manage  
water-quality issues with Moleaer. She noted the upcoming Florida Association of Counties  
Legislative Days. The Vice Chairman advised they received a resignation letter from Tyler  
Winnick on the Historic Commission, and she will be looking for a replacement on that board.  
District 1 - Commissioner Dallari  
Commissioner Dallari announced the MLK Day parade in Oviedo will have a different route  
this year and thanked staff for all of their hard work during the ECNL games.  
District 5 - Chairman Herr  
Chairman Herr discussed recent events and meetings. Regarding the Airport, she reported  
OEP hired Burns and McDonald to do a mock review of a perspective economic development  
selection process for the Airport. The outcome will be a site readiness report, and it will better  
able the Airport to prep for future opportunities. She thought it was remarkably interesting and  
something they may want to consider in the future.  
XII. CHAIRMAN'S REPORT  
Chairman Herr advised her office is picking up the mail. It gets picked up everyday. Mail that  
is labeled for an individual Commissioner is delivered to the individual Commissioner  
unopened. Mail that comes in to the Board is handled accordingly. She noted occasionally  
somebody will grab all of it, and then her office misses the Submissions process. So that is  
her update on mail.  
The Chairman stated she had a preliminary prep for the upcoming budget sessions with Mr.  
Gray. She would like to send a letter to the Constitutional Officers prepping for what the  
Board expects in terms of the budget this year. That draft will be shared with the Commission  
Offices. The concept behind it is that instead of being disappointed that the information didn't  
come in the way the Board expected it, they can set the expectations up front so they can  
maybe shorten the process and make it a little less painful. Creating a new order of operation  
may be beneficial.  
She gave a shout-out to Animal Services who helped her recently with an adoption.  
Lastly, she noted a large document sent out by Property Appraiser David Johnson. They will  
be seeing a handout that will be timed with the State of the County.  
Communications and/or Reports as Received from the Chairman's Office  
1. 12/12/2025 Letter of support for FDOT (CFRC Bridge)  
2. 12/12/2025 Rezone letter from J.R. Kroll  
3. 01/06/2026 City of Oviedo Public Notice  
XIII. PUBLIC COMMENT (Items not Related to the Agenda)  
Chris Petersen, Fortify, addressed the Board and updated the Board on the Supreme Court  
decision regarding the FPFA (Florida PACE Funding Agency) and several of the Counties and  
Tax Collectors around the state. Document was received and filed.  
Vice Chairman Lockhart asked Ms. Latorre if she had any feedback to Mr. Petersen's  
comments. Ms. Latorre stated she is familiar with the court case he just covered and takes no  
issue with his summary of it. Her only comment and response would be that her office is not  
representing the Tax Collector in those cases; he has retained outside counsel for anything  
PACE related. It doesn't involve this Board making a decision at this point.  
XIV. ADJOURN BCC MEETING  
There being no further business to come before the Board, the Chairman declared the  
meeting adjourned at 2:11 p.m., this same date.
