Board of County Commissioners  
I. CALL TO ORDER  
Chairman Jay Zembower  
Present:  
Vice Chairman Andria Herr  
Commissioner Bob Dallari  
Commissioner Lee Constantine  
Commissioner Amy Lockhart  
Commissioner Constantine attended the meeting via remote technology.  
Additional Attendees: County Manager Darren Gray, County Attorney Kate Latorre, and

III. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS  
2.  
County Investment Advisor Report (Scott McIntyre, CFA - Senior Portfolio  
Manager, Managing Director Hilltop Securities Asset Management)  
2025-431  
Mr. McIntyre addressed the Board and presented the Investment Advisor Report as  
outlined in the agenda backup.  
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to implement  
recommendations of the financial advisor based on the report submitted today and  
recommend the Clerk implement said Board recommendations.  
Districts 1, 2, 4, and 5 voted AYE  
Chairman Zembower commented their portfolio has a couple dozen old investments  
that are $1,000 to $3,000. He inquired if that is something they could get a report on  
whether they should consider cleaning those up and bringing them together under a  
different investment. Mr. McIntyre responded in theory, they could bid those out as a  
package to broker dealers who would give one bid to take them off the books, which  
would be a cleanup. At the end of the day, it may save some safekeeping costs and  
some administrative costs. Ultimately, they may wind up having some very marginal  
loss for that cleanup, but it is doable. The Chairman requested staff work with the  
Clerk's Office and Mr. McIntyre on that and bring back a recommendation. No  
objections were voiced.  
IV. CONSENT AGENDA – PUBLIC PARTICIPATION  
County Manager Darren Gray advised Consent Agenda Item 15, Memorandum of Agreement  
with the City of Altamonte Springs regarding FEMA grant-funded projects; Consent Agenda  
Item 29, Resolution confirming the Non-Ad Valorem Variable Rate Assessments for Tax Year  
2025; and Regular Agenda Item 41, Reduction of Lien Request - 1208 Helen Street, were  
being pulled to be brought back at a later date.  
With regard to public participation, Grey Wilson, Friends of Wekiva River, spoke in regards to  
Item 11, Final Plat for the Preserve at Deer Lakes Subdivision. He spoke neither in support or  
opposition but provided information regarding the Wekiva River Protection Area projects  
(document packet received and filed). He discussed the concern of this project setting a  
precedent of cluster subdivisions in the Wekiva River Protection Area for future projects.  
No one else spoke and public input was closed.  
Public Comment Form received and filed.  
Chairman Zembower confirmed with County Attorney Kate Latorre this project does not state  
a precedent for future projects. The Chairman advised they have changed the Code with  
regard to clustering. He requested the County Manager have staff consider what illustrations  
they may use and then bring it forward for Board discussion. No objections were voiced.

V. REGULAR AGENDA  
39. Opioid/CORE Funding Opportunities (John Greenwood, Goldfinch)  
2025-553  
Mr. Greenwood addressed the Board and presented the Opioid/CORE Funding  
Opportunities as outlined in the agenda backup. His request is to take a portion of the  
opioid settlement funds to help his organization train providers on how to address pain  
better, supported by enhanced recovery after surgery, so they can turn the page on the  
opioid epidemic and see results for the community. The presentation was followed by  
Board comments and questions.  
Vice Chairman Herr stated she is fully supportive and would like to ask staff, with the  
Board's support, to look into whether or not this is a possibility as the only prevention  
program in opioid use in the community. Right now they have a program that helps  
people after they are addicted, but they are not addressing it from a preventative  
perspective. This does not negatively impact the patient, and it positively impacts the  
family. It reduces the overall cost of care in the market. This is not a long-term  
investment. It is a short-term investment for a long-term gain. This was piloted by the  
Seminole County Sheriff's Office in their employee benefit program, and the results and  
feedback have been amazing. She commented the Board sits in a unique position to  
positively influence the community. If they lower the addiction rates, the savings hit  
every segment of the population. She requested the Board's support.  
Commissioner Lockhart stated there was no ask in the agenda item. She reminded  
they had a process and procedure for allocating opioid funds. She inquired where they  
are with that process. Vice Chairman Herr clarified her ask isn't to undo that. It is for  
this to be considered at some point. Deputy County Manager Tricia Johnson  
responded the opioid settlement funds were dedicated a year ago to four categories:  
The Hope and Healing Center, The SCORE team at the Sheriff's Office, Recovery  
Connections for wraparound services, and a NOFA process. The NOFA was awarded  
this March to Brevard Prevention Coalition to implement a youth education campaign.  
The County is under a contract with the State. If the Board would like to revisit how  
those monies are allocated, staff can do that and bring it back for approval. While  
there is no time designation, the money will start decreasing in three to five years, and  
they will have to revisit how it's allocated. The CORE funds are allocated by the State  
and are not monies in which the County has a voice. Kelly Welch, Community  
Services Community Health Division Manger, has been speaking with Mr. Greenwood  
about connecting him with the right people at DCF who could potentially also support  
Goldfinch's efforts since those monies have a little more flexibility than the County's. If  
the Board wanted staff to look at funding outside of the opioid funds, they would need  
to go out to a procurement process. Commissioner Lockhart inquired if they revisit the  
contract, would the four entities that have been allocated have to be reduced, and Ms.  
Johnson responded, yes. Commissioner Lockhart asked if they are expecting more  
funds to be added to this bucket, and Ms. Johnson explained the opioid settlement  
funds are a certain amount and will decrease over the years.  
Chairman Zembower explained why he is not prepared to move forward and support at  
this point. However, if staff believes it is better to reopen the process and rank the  
applicants again, then he would want additional information and presentations from  
each applicant.  
Commissioner Dallari stated he reached out to UCF School of Global Health  
Management and Informatics for information about the opioid crisis. He thinks the  
program staff has put together is holistic and the current process is a good one; and he  
is okay with how it is now.  
Vice Chairman Herr clarified it is not to get in the way of a physician's directive but to  
educate physicians with the best science that is available today as opposed to using  
the education that was obtained through the pharma industry. The ask is to allow staff  
to think about whether or not there are opportunities that are out there that are missing,  
because at the time this process was created, those opportunities did not exist. She  
doesn't necessarily know they would have to take away from one to give to another  
because that research hasn't been done. It is about opening their minds to maybe they  
need to think about this. Brief discussion ensued.  
Commissioner Lockhart inquired if there is a specific line item in the State's budget that  
something like this could be funded that the Board could support via Tallahassee. Ms.  
Johnson responded the State has the CORE dollars. The County has assisted with  
some of those dollars that are designated for hospital emergency departments. The  
rest of the monies are allocated only through the State. Central Florida Cares helps  
administer opioid dollars that come down from the State to the counties, and Ms.  
Welch has been working with them to try to support Goldfinch and to connect them at  
the state level. There are additional opioid dollars that are outside of the County's  
purview. Upon Commissioner Lockhart's inquiry, Mr. Greenwood responded they are  
in the works of approaching the State about the CORE dollars.

district on four (4) acres, located on the southwest corner of Aloma  
Avenue and Deep Lake Road; BS2025-01 (Denise Morrill, Applicant)

Ms. Padin addressed the Board and presented the request as outlined in the agenda  
backup.  
Ms. Morrill, applicant, addressed the Board and commented on the request.  
With regard to public participation, no one spoke and public input was closed.  
Commissioner Dallari inquired of Christina Diaz, Fire Marshal, regarding tables and  
chairs having to be bolted down in full liquor establishments, occupancy load, and  
sprinkler systems. Photographs and videos submitted through ex parte were displayed  
(received and filed). Additional questions and discussion continued with the Fire  
Marshal.  
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to deny the Special  
Exception for an alcoholic beverage establishment in the PD (Planned Development)  
district on four (4) acres, located on the southwest corner of Aloma Avenue and Deep  
Lake Road; Denise Morrill, Applicant; as described in the proof of publication.  
Under discussion, Chairman Zembower inquired how the conditions of approval fit in to  
what the Fire Marshal addressed with the change in use that got them to a special  
exception support from staff. Jose Gomez, Development Services Director, responded  
some of the special conditions address some the concerns. Deputy County Attorney  
Neysa Borkert noted for the record that the video and pictures were submitted by  
someone who is not present and is in opposition and forwarded their email with the  
videos after the staff report was rendered. She advised any fire concerns or violations  
are separate and apart from this proceeding. She also noted there was nobody  
present to verify they took the video or what is depicted in it occurred at this location.  
As far as the conditions put forth by staff and the Planning and Zoning Board, who did  
have members of the public present at that hearing, the main concern was noise  
regulation. There was further Board discussion and questions for the Fire Marshal.  
Upon Commissioner Lockhart's inquiry, Stah Hardik, Tehran Hookah Lounge owner,  
explained the video was for promotional use. It was not taken inside the establishment.  
Board discussion ensued.  
Ms. Latorre left the meeting at 3:12 p.m.  
Commissioner Dallari inquired if they continued this to the next meeting, could they ask  
staff and the applicant to review the issues to try to control sound, the use, as well as  
the hours and bring it back; and Ms. Borkert responded, yes, they could.  
Commissioner Dallari withdrew the motion to deny to make a motion to continue to ask  
staff and the applicant to review this to bring it back at the appropriate time. The  
seconder did not agree. Commissioner Dallari stated he would keep the original  
motion as is.  
Districts 1, 2, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
Chairman Zembower recessed the meeting at 3:18 p.m., reconvening at 3:26 p.m.  
IIX. COUNTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT  
Ms. Borkert advised there are two items the County Attorney's Office needs direction or  
approval.  
1. A motion to authorize the County Manager to approve and execute a tender agreement  
that the County Attorney's Office is currently negotiating with Merchants Bonding Company,  
which is the bonding company for the work on the Yankee Lake Water Reclamation Facility  
for the Renewal and Replacement Phase 2 Project. They are negotiating with the bonding  
company to have L7 Construction complete the project, who was the second bidder in the  
original procurement. The finalizing of this agreement is occurring now. Since there are a few  
weeks between now and the next Board meeting, staff would like to get the agreement  
negotiated and wrapped up so they can start as soon as possible. The motion would be to  
authorize the County Manager to execute the agreement and bring it back at the meeting at  
the end of July to ratify it.  
Motion by Commissioner Dallari, second by Commissioner Lockhart, to approve the  
agreement and for the County Manager to execute it and bring it back to the Board at a later

X. DISTRICT COMMISSIONER REPORTS  
District 5 - Commissioner Herr  
Vice Chairman Herr thanked staff for putting on the Seminole County Memorial Day  
Ceremony. She gave a shout-out to Senator Scott and Emergency Management staff for  
creating a local hurricane awareness campaign. The Vice Chairman gave a shout-out to Gui  
Cunha, Economic Development & Tourism Director, for being on the Orlando Business  
Journal Doing Business in Seminole panel.  
District 1 - Commissioner Dallari  
Commissioner Dallari thanked Bill Hyde, citizen, and his Post for their Memorial Day  
celebration. The Commissioner reported on the Florida Girls High School Fast Pitch  
Championship and thanked the staff that maintains the fields.  
Commissioner Dallari advised there was a boil water notice on June 9th for the Seminole  
County Southeast Water Service Area. He requested that staff provide a cursory review of  
how many boil water notices there have been from the plant itself, not the distribution. He  
thanked staff for their hard work. He commented more information needs to go out on how to  
sign up for alerts because there is citizen confusion.  
District 3 - Commissioner Constantine  
No report.  
District 4 - Commissioner Lockhart  
44.  
Approve the District 4 appointment of Susan Kellicut to the Library  
Advisory Board fulfilling a vacancy with the term 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2025.  
2025-556  
Motion by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by Vice Chairman Herr, to appoint Susan  
Kellicut to the Library Advisory Board fulfilling a vacancy with the term 1/1/2025 -  
12/31/2026.  
Districts 1, 2, 4, and 5 voted AYE.  
Commissioner Lockhart wished a happy birthday to Deputy Todd Moderson birthday and  
reported she attended the City of Sanford's Memorial Day Celebration.  
The Commissioner advised there was a follow-up meeting with several of the pastors in the  
Rosenwald community about concerns with the Lillie H. Green Community Center and the  
partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs. Ms. Johnson has stepped up to listen to the  
community's concerns and convene, along with Parks and Recreation Director Rick Durr, with  
some of the stakeholders to try to figure out why they continue to struggle with the Boys and  
Girls Clubs meeting their obligations and the terms of their agreement. There are some very  
specific terms in the agreement that they are not adhering to. There has been turnover at the  
Boys and Girls Clubs, so it is possible some of the new leadership do not know those terms  
are in the agreement. They will be given every opportunity to come into alignment so they can  
make this a good outcome for everybody.  
The Commissioner gave an interview to Spectrum 13 on microtransit to start community  
awareness.  
There is a specially called meeting of the Medical Examiner Committee on June 19th. The  
County's position has already been made clear. She will be there to lend support to Lake  
County.  
On June 11th, the Commissioner will be serving, along with Tourism Division Manager Danny  
Trosset, on a panel with the Central Florida Hotel Lodging Association talking about  
leadership and mentorship.  
Commissioner Lockhart advised she would like to bring to the Board's attention a situation  
that has to do with Mike Shirley. The criminal trial was last year, and she sat through the  
entire trial and sentencing on behalf of the Board. The Board wrote a letter to the judge to  
express their extreme concerns about the damage that was done to the taxpayers and  
citizens of Seminole County. The judge read part of the letter into the record during  
sentencing. It has been brought to her attention that Mr. Shirley or people on his behalf are  
seeking some type of commutation on his sentence. She does not know what that process is  
so she would like to hand over to the County Attorney and the County Manager whatever  
action may be appropriate. So the Board is aware and can take whatever action may be  
appropriate at the appropriate time, she advised she started the ball rolling on that by sending  
an email on behalf of her office alone to Dario Camacho, Department of Justice (received and  
filed).  
The Commissioner thanked facilities staff for the rehab work done on the dais.

The Chairman reported he attended the grand opening of Illumus located in Seminole County.  
He inquired if there was any Board interest on bringing back the Business Spotlight  
presentations to the meetings. Commissioner Dallari responded it should be done on a  
case-by-case basis as it would be burdensome on staff to do it on a regular basis. Vice  
Chairman Herr stated it is a lot of time and work for staff and the businesses. She thinks they  
are on a good path on focusing on what the citizens need right now and operating lean. The  
Chairman stated there is no support in moving forward.
