IV. CONSENT AGENDA – PUBLIC PARTICIPATION  
County Manager Darren Gray announced Consent Item 9a, RFP and BAR for Micro-Transit  
Services, was being added; and Item 4, Supervisor of Elections legal fees invoice payment;  
Item 29, Marxan Model; Item 35, Deleon Street Maintenance Map; and Item 46, FDOT Sun  
Trail Grant application submission, were being pulled and will be brought back.  
With regard to public participation, no one spoke and public input was closed.  
Regarding Item 4, Supervisor of Elections' Legal Fees Invoice Payment, Chairman Zembower  
stated he is aware the County Attorney is looking at that. He inquired if the Comptroller was  
not the person that should be doing the initial review. County Attorney Kate Latorre explained  
the SOE doesn't have the line item in his budget after October 1st so everything that he needs  
to have paid has to come to the Board. She has looked at the invoice but can't speak to the  
hourly rate or what work was done. The issue with the invoice that they need to bring back in  
the future is that she thinks the legal work was billed to the wrong case. There are multiple  
cases going on at the same time. So for recordkeeping and so the payment of the invoice  
comes from the right budget line item, that needs to be remedied. Where the Comptroller  
comes in with looking at the invoice would be double-checking that the County is paying what  
the invoice is asking for, but she doesn't know that the County or the Comptroller has a lot of  
say in the dollar value or dollar amount. Mr. Gray added they have communicated with SOE  
staff and asked them to forward the invoice to them, and they also have been in  
communication with the Comptroller as well. They are all in sync with each other and on the  
same page.  
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, to approve  
Constitutional Officers' Consent Agenda and County Manager's Consent Agenda Items 3

V. REGULAR AGENDA  
51. Reduction of Lien Request - Consideration of Applicant, Cha’s Studio  
Inc.’s, appeal of the Deputy County Manager’s denial of requested lien  
reduction of Code Enforcement Board lien (Case # 19-126-CEB) to  
administrative costs of $580.98. The subject property is located at 4384  
Frances Avenue, Sanford; Tax Parcel ID: 14-20-30-503-0000-0130.  
District2 - Zembower (Alexis Brignoni, Code Enforcement Clerk)  
DENIED  
Ms. Brignoni addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda  
memorandum. The presentation was followed by brief questions from the Board.  
Isabel Acevedo, Applicant, addressed the Board and advised they purchased the  
property as an investment. The title company did a title search but only reported liens  
of $16,800 at closing. There were a few questions from the Board for Ms. Acevedo.  
Motion by Chairman Zembower, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to deny the  
appeal of the Deputy County Manager’s denial of requested lien reduction of Code  
Enforcement Board lien (Case # 19-126-CEB) to administrative costs of $580.98. The  
subject property is located at 4384 Frances Avenue, Sanford; Tax Parcel ID:  
14-20-30-503-0000-0130; Cha’s Studio Inc., Applicant.  
Under discussion, Commissioner Lockhart requested clarification of the lien amount.  
The agenda book states $68,900 but the Applicant stated it was $ 86,000. Ms. Latorre  
explained the Applicant was initially advised the total value of the County's lien was in  
the $86,000 range. There was an error in the calculation that staff discovered which  
has since been corrected, and the lien is $68,400.  
Vice Chairman Herr inquired if the County did everything they needed to do 100% to  
have the correct lien amount show up in a title search. She inquired why the $16,000  
showed up but not the current number. Development Services Administrator Jose  
Gomez explained the Applicant was informed at the time that the lien was $16,800 at  
the time and still accruing, so the additional amount was the amount accruing at $50 a  
day for the time period until they came in to address it. Ms. Latorre clarified at the time  
the lien was imposed and recorded, the total of the fines was $16,800. There is a fine  
of $50 a day until the date of compliance. Between the date the lien was incurred until  
the date the property came into compliance, the value of the lien accrued to $68,400.  
Ms. Latorre advised she was able to pull up the recorded lien in the public record, so it  
should have come up on the title search. The value in the recorded lien says $16,800  
plus $50 a day for every additional day the violation exists. She added warranty deeds  
under Florida Law guarantee title to the property. If the title company made a mistake,  
the remedy is to file a claim with the title insurance company.  
With regard to public comment, no one spoke and public input was closed.  
Commissioner Constantine suggested a reduction would be reasonable and made a  
friendly amendment to reduce the amount to $34,200. Discussion ensued and without  
an agreement to the amendment, the amendment died.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
Commissioner Lockhart reported on events and meetings. She advised at the recent Florida  
Association of Counties conference, they voted to send a letter of support to request the State  
of Florida join the Southern Rail Commission. She stated the letter of support has been  
emailed to the Commissioners. If the Board agrees after reading the letter, she would like to  
see if there is support for the Chairman to send a letter to participate in that.  
Motion by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to authorize the  
Chairman to send a letter of support to request the State of Florida join the Southern Rail  
Commission.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
Copy of executed letter received and filed.  
Commissioner Lockhart explained the Mayfair Golf Course, which is owned by the City of  
Sanford, had a situation during Hurricane Milton where a portion of the golf course was  
flooding. To alleviate that situation, the golf course management company pumped reclaimed  
water from their pond and discharged it into the East Crystal Chain of Lakes. There have  
been multiple phone calls from herself, as the district commissioner, the County Manager to  
the City Manager, staff being involved, and phone calls made to DEP and St. Johns River  
Water Management District. She is concerned because that golf course management  
company is the same one the County hired for Wekiva, and the management company does  
not believe what they did was inappropriate. City staff that is involved does not feel there is a  
need for any mitigation, although there are problems stemming from that. She would like the  
Board to give the County Manager authority and direction to pursue whatever need be with  
the City Manager of Sanford and ask what the circumstances were with this golf course  
management company thinking this was an acceptable solution, since they also work for the  
County.  
Motion by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by Chairman Zembower, to give the County  
Manager authority and direction to pursue whatever need be with the City Manager of Sanford  
and ask what the circumstances were with this golf course management company thinking  
this was an acceptable solution since they also work for the County.  
Under discussion, Commissioner Dallari inquired if there was an issue with their reclaim lines  
that caused them to pump it to a different location. Commissioner Lockhart responded they  
have a pond that is specifically to take reclaimed water, and the water was supposed to stay  
in that specific pond for irrigation. When that overflowed and there were problems with getting  
golf carts around the golf course, they decided to pump that pond. There is video of them,  
over the course of a minimum of three days, using two pumps discharging water from that  
pond into the East Crystal Chain.  
Mr. Gray advised staff is meeting with City staff. Commissioner Dallari confirmed with Mr.  
Gray they are keeping track of all costs, including personnel costs. Chairman Zembower  
requested the County Attorney revisit the contract with the management company to  
specifically spell out they will not pump any water off of the Wekiva Golf course property  
without proper permitting and understanding from the Board.  
Upon inquiry of Commissioner Dallari, Mr. Gray explained DEP has advised it is a violation.  
Mr. Gray advised he will keep the Board updated.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
District 5 - Commissioner Herr  
District 5 - Board Appointments  
Motion by Vice Chairman Herr, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to appoint JW  
Yarborough and Yolanda McGee to the Agriculture Advisory Board for a term beginning  
January 1, 2025, ending December 31, 2026; Jeff Wallace to the Contractor Examiner  
Board for a term beginning January 1, 2025, ending December 31, 2025; Marjorie  
Smith and Beverly Mason to the Historical Commission for a term beginning January 1,  
2025, ending December 31, 2026; Brenda Urias to TDC for a term beginning January  
1, 2025, ending December 31, 2028; and Hiro Yoshida to fill an empty seat with the  
Library Advisory Board for a term beginning January 1, 2024, ending December 31,  
2025.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
Vice Chairman Herr reported at the last CFX meeting, they held a work session to move to all  
electronic tolls (AET). The transition started 20 years ago. At this point, 1.9% of the revenue  
for the Expressway Authority is cash with the rest being E-PASS transponders, invoices, etc.  
There is a transition plan so everybody has smooth landings. It is consistent with the  
Turnpike Authority so the State is moving in this direction. There is no immediate plan to start  
tearing down the toll booth sections and do something else with them. That will be put into  
long-term work plans. They are adding PayPal, Apple Pay, and Venmo. For those who do  
not use electronic payments, they will be able to do cash deposits at Walmart.  
The Vice Chairman reported on events and meetings.  
District 1 - Commissioner Dallari  
Commissioner Dallari stated there are still large amounts of hurricane storm debris in the  
southeastern portion of the county. He inquired when that will be picked up. Oliver Bond,  
Solid Waste Division Manager, advised they have prioritized Commissioner Dallari's district.  
They are about 85% done, and they expect to be done with the majority of the waste by  
Christmas. They still have about a month left on the 90-day time frame, which was the  
commitment to avoid 24-hour operations. The hope is to keep assets running other than the  
holidays themselves.  
Commissioner Dallari requested a list of the neighborhoods they will be doing. Mr. Bond  
commented there has been an issue with receiving the annual right-of-entry forms, which  
allows them to enter private neighborhoods. Commissioner Lockhart inquired if there is a  
reason why the right-of-entry forms have to be done annually or if they could be done for a  
longer period of time. Mr. Bond responded it is a FEMA document and that is the term.  
Deputy County Attorney Neysa Borkert added they would have to look at the FEMA grant  
funding to see how long the right-of-entry could be for.  
Chairman Zembower stated he would be interested in knowing if the FEMA grant money was  
available for the County to purchase their own trucks and equipment.  
District 1 - Board Appointments  
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to appoint  
Dennis Langolis and Tom Minter to the Agriculture Advisory Board for a term beginning

Adjustment for a term beginning January 1, 2025, and ending December 31, 2028;

ending December 31, 2028; and Bill Spivey and Dana McBroom to SCOPA for a term

Commissioner Lockhart requested to pull Kevin Ross for separate consideration, and  
the motioner and seconder agreed.  
Chairman Zembower called the question to accept the appointments with the exception  
of Kevin Ross.  
Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to appoint  
Kevin Ross to the Code Enforcement Board for a term beginning January 1, 2025, and  
ending December 31, 2027.  
Under discussion, Commissioner Lockhart stated she has recently been made aware  
from Mr. Ross of some personal and professional challenges he has been having. She  
feels it would be a service to him to relief the responsibility of the Code Enforcement  
Board and take this burden away from him during all the things he has going on right  
now, and once they are off his plate, it would be an opportunity to look again if he  
wants to serve.  
Chairman Zembower inquired if Commissioner Dallari has had a conversation with Mr.  
Ross recently. Commissioner Dallari responded his office has reached out to all the  
people that he has recommended for appointment, and everyone wants to serve. The  
Chairman stated this does not appear to be time sensitive and there will be one more  
BCC meeting before the term expires. He inquired if Commissioner Dallari would like  
to reach out to Mr. Ross again, and Commissioner Dallari stated he would and then  
bring back a recommendation at the next meeting.  
Commissioner Constantine withdrew his second and Commissioner Dallari withdrew  
his motion.

that seems to have turned into a nightclub mostly during the weekends and has loud music  
until 2:00 a.m. He is requesting the Board look into this with regard to being a nightclub and  
also possibly violating the noise ordinance. Commissioner Dallari requested Mr. Gorman wait  
after the meeting to speak with him and staff.  
Commissioner Lockhart commented to Mr. Gray when they go through the topic of Code  
Enforcement in the reorganization, this has been a recurring theme of having a struggle with  
code enforcement enforcing not just loud noises and music but also barking dogs.

December 14th, at the Oviedo Cemetery.
