2024-0927

proposed millage rates and set the date, time, and place for the First

Public Hearing to tentatively adopt the Fiscal Year 2024/25 County

Budget. Countywide (Timothy Jecks, Management & Budget Director)

Mr. Jecks addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda

backup.

With regard to public participation, no one spoke, and public input was closed.

Motion by Commissioner Lockhart, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to

establish the Fiscal Year 2024/25 proposed millage rates and authorize staff to

schedule the first public hearing to adopt the tentative millage rates and budget for FY

2024/2025 on September 11, 2024, at 5:30 p.m., and the second public hearing on

September 24, 2024, at 5:30 p.m.

year so they can understand what's going on. Mr. Gray advised he can bring that

information. Commissioner Lockhart confirmed with Commissioner Dallari that he's

Resolution to Opt-Out of Missing Middle Property Tax Exemption -

Consider a resolution to “opt out” of certain multi-family affordable

housing ad valorem property taxation exemption; Countywide (Rebecca

Hammock, Development Services Director)

2024-1010

Resolution #2024-R-83

Ms. Hammock addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda

memorandum. Property Appraiser David Johnson addressed the Board and detailed

some slides to explain the potential impact of tax exemption.

The Commissioners asked few questions to Mr. Johnson.

Ms. Hammock advised the resolution must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the

Board.

With regard to public participation, no one spoke, and public input was closed.

Motion by Commissioner Constantine, seconded by Commissioner Lockhart, to adopt

appropriate Resolution #2024-R-83 opting out of certain multi-family affordable housing

ad valorem property taxation exemption.

Under discussion, Chairman Zembower stated the reality is this is another case where

Seminole County has been caught up in the overall net for the entire state because

there are jurisdictions throughout the state that are not doing some of the things this

County has been doing to foster this kind of housing. They fall into the category of,

"what's good for one, is good for all," when necessarily that's not the case. When that

revenue stream does not come to the County, those are services that are going to be

picked up by the rest of the taxpayers, and it's going to fall on their shoulders. It may

not seem like a lot of money initially; but as this continues to grow, it will be a huge

impact which then affects the County's ability to do the things that they are already

doing for attainable and middle housing as well as affordable housing.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

VI. WORKSESSION

57. Purchasing Policy Update (Lorie Bailey Brown, CFO/Resource

2024-0999

Management Director)

Ms. Bailey Brown and Steven Koontz, Purchasing and Contracts Manager, addressed

the Board and presented the item as detailed in the agenda backup.

Discussion ensued regarding additional clarifications of the presentation. The

Commissioners shared their comments on the proposed policy update. The Chairman

stated it seems they have consensus on everything except for the evaluation

committee. Mr. Gray advised he has committed to enhancing the communication with

this board, especially on priority projects. They've offered quarterly briefings on capital

projects because it's very important for the commissioners to know where they are at

any particular time in a project. He agrees with the Board's comments and noted staff

did not make the proposed changes out on a whim; they looked at best practices.

They researched it and also thought about what's best for this county. They can tweak

it for what's unique for Seminole County. Regarding change orders, if the proposed 5%

on all change orders would have to come to the Board, staff can provide a report on all

change orders to keep the Board up to speed and up to date on all of them. He wasn't

with the County for the change orders regarding the Annex, but he will make sure the

Board gets all of that information as they close that out. Mr. Gray pointed out the

physical impact statement is required by the Charter as well as by statute, so that will

be coming in the ordinance. If they want it ahead of time, he has no problem providing

it; they're already working on it. So with that, he could make a couple of adjustments

and bring it back for the final ordinance next month. He will brief the Board to confirm

staff has made the appropriate changes. Mr. Gray discussed the evaluation

committee.

Vice Chairman Herr noted with regard to Five Points and the change orders, there's a

document that was put together by Jean Jreij, Public Works Director, that walks

through all the change orders by the requestor.

Motion by Vice Chairman Herr, seconded by Commissioner Dallari, to adopt Ordinance

#2024-22 amending Section 258.2, Seminole County Code of Ordinances, to require

Bear Awareness residential signage; as described in the proof of publication.

Under discussion, Commissioner Constantine stated he is in full support of the item.

During a conversation he had with staff, he suggested having bear-proof containers for

each home when new developments come in. He would like staff to at least talk about

his suggestion for the next round with the Land Development Code. The County's

program has been so successful, but many of those cans are now years old and

deteriorating. Many people are looking to buy another one and looking for help from

the FWC or the County. One of the things that would be very nice and wouldn't add

practically anything to the mortgage, is that the developers, as they build the homes,

put in an urban-bear trash can that would be given to each home.

Commissioner Lockhart stated there is a possibility that trash is not being disposed of

properly in complexes that have bear-proof dumpsters. So another thing for staff to

add to the next round of potential updates is the opportunity to have the responsibility

not just on the original developer, but also on the residents who are there, particularly

for rental communities, because there's a lot of trash that is being generated that could

be bear attractants.

Chairman Zembower pointed out there are actually more alligator encounters than

there are bear encounters in Seminole County. There's been more alligator and coyote

encounters in the last five years in Seminole County than there has been bear

encounters, with the exception of the year 2022. He doesn't know that they may not

want to consider having staff adopt alligator signs, coyote signs, bobcat signs, any

other signs. They've focused on bears for a number of reasons, and he agrees with

that; but the question is, what about the reality that there's more encounters by other

wildlife than there is from bears.

IIX. COUNTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT

County Attorney Kate Lattore advised she has two matters she needs to briefly address.

First, relating to the PFAS class action lawsuit, the Board may recall that the County is party to

a multi-district litigation that consolidated thousands of cases against the manufacturers of

PFAS-laden aqueous film-forming foam. Federal Court approved settlements against DuPont

and 3M several months ago totaling billions of dollars of funds to be allocated amongst

various public water systems, including the County. The County is a qualifying settlement

class member, and its phase 1 public water systems settlement claim was due to be filed on

July 12 against 3M and DuPont. After many months of the County gathering data on its water

supply with the Utilities department and in conjunction with outside counsel, they did submit

that claim on July 12. She signed the claim on behalf of the County given the meeting

schedule of the Board. There was no Board meeting prior to doing that. She asked for a

motion ratifying the County's submittal of that claim.

Motion by Commissioner Dallari, seconded by Commissioner Constantine, to ratify the

County's submittal of the claim.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Ms. Latorre noted she will keep the Board advised on the outcome.

Ms. Latorre stated the second issue is related to a discussion that has come up a few times

over the past few meetings in public comment in the afternoon. Yesterday she circulated a

memorandum to the Board addressing questions that the Commissioners had asked at the

conclusion of the last BCC meeting relating to alleged election or voter fraud irregularities.

The Board also asked her to look into whether the Board could be the entity that identifies

these sorts of irregularities to the Supervisor of Elections and also whether the Board could

allocate funding to the Supervisor of Elections for the purpose of investigating this sort of

fraudulent registration or possible illegal voting activities. In short, the statutes do provide for

the Board to be able to provide this funding to the Supervisor of Elections as part of its budget

process, specifically for the Supervisor to conduct investigations into fraudulent investigations

and illegal voting. However, this Board does not have independent investigatory authority in

and of itself. The majority of the responsibilities for investigating these sort of activities in

Florida fall to the Department of State and the Supervisor of Elections in each county. So if

they were to receive that sort of information from the constituents, her recommendation would

be to pass it along, and those entities are the ones charged with the authority to conduct

investigations. In fact, in 2022, the Department of State created a new office of Election

Crimes and Security. That entity maintains a voter fraud hotline and they also accept written

complaint forms related to voter fraud or voter registration irregularities. If they have any

questions about that information, she is available to discuss it further.

Commissioner Lockhart stated the feedback that came to her office when she was Chairman,

and she believes the feedback that the current Chairman has received, has been forwarded to

the Secretary of State and the Division of Elections. From that perspective, they've done what

they thought was the appropriate thing to do when there were concerns. Chairman Zembower

stated that is correct.

Chairman Zembower advised last week they received notice of a lawsuit filed against

Seminole County as well as the Supervisor of Elections. He asked if Ms. Latorre could

provide any information on where the County is in that. His struggle is that it is a separate

entity as a Constitutional Officer, and the allegations that have been alleged are against that

individual, but yet the County has been named in the lawsuit. He asked where that places the

County and what they should or shouldn't be doing. Ms. Latorre answered they received that

lawsuit late last week, so it's still being evaluated. She doesn't want to get into too many

details about the lawsuit. The County was named as a defendant just the same as the

Supervisor of Elections. It's being evaluated, and staff will respond accordingly.

Unfortunately, they can't prevent lawsuits or being named in lawsuits for things they don't think

they should be named for. But it's still pretty new so they have a few weeks left to get a

response out. Vice Chairman Herr stated if that has not been shared with Risk Management,

it needs to be. Ms. Latorre responded absolutely, it was.

Tanna Harris submitted a Public Comment Form (received and filed), but when her name was

called it was determined she was no longer present.

Dennis Schoeppner addressed the Board and discussed legal registration and voting

violations (handout received and filed).

Public Comment Form was received and filed.

Chairman Zembower asked, in light of what Ms. Latorre has disclosed today, if the Board is

comfortable with the County Attorney taking the video of what was just presented along with

the documents presented and sending those to the appropriate entities that were identified in

the analysis of the election laws and the individuals and departments that are supposed to

oversee that. Commissioner Dallari advised he would like to include the data that was

received at the last BCC meetings. Vice Chairman Herr agreed. Chairman Zembower asked

if there is consensus to forward to the appropriate entities what has been presented today and

the previous documentation that has been given to the Board at previous BCC meetings. As

far as the canvassing board, he will be sitting on that board as the chairman; and they also

have canvassing board attorneys that will be accompanying him to help oversee and ensure

that things are being followed accordingly. Vice Chairman Herr asked if it would be

appropriate to also forward the information to the canvassing board individually. Ms. Latorre

answered she doesn't know that the canvassing board has the authority to act on the

information; she believes it would be informational only. Vice Chairman Herr advised if she

was sitting on the canvassing board and not know all of this was happening, she thinks she

would be at a deficit. So from an informational perspective, they should have the information.

Ms. Latorre replied if that is the direction of the Board, she's happy to do that.

Commissioner Lockhart stated she would like to add to the packet they're compiling the

previous communication that was sent to the Secretary of State from the last election because

when she served on the canvassing board as chairman during the last election, there were

some concerns and observations that she had that she shared with the Secretary, with the

Division of Elections, and with the Board; and she feels like that should be included so they

have the complete picture if that's appropriate. Chairman Zembower advised he thinks that's

appropriate and reiterated they should include the video from these public meetings as well as

the speakers' names and addresses of the constituents that have come and made these

statements so those entities are able to reach those folks if they need further interaction or

further information. Commissioner Dallari confirmed with Ms. Latorre staff is going to send it

to the Supervisor of Elections and the State of Florida, Secretary of State. Ms. Latorre

clarified she will probably direct it to the Secretary of State's office in the Division of Elections

Office specifically; and if she can find a contact for the Office of Elections Security and

Crimes, then she will send it there as well and copy everyone. Vice Chairman Herr stated she

thinks with regard to the package that is being sent, she would appreciate it if it would be

reviewed by both Chairman Zembower and Commissioner Lockhart, having been the previous

Chairman, before it is sent so all of the onus doesn't fall on the County Attorney who hasn't

been here through all of it. Chairman Zembower asked if the Board is comfortable with

Commissioner Lockhart and himself reviewing what the County Attorney puts together prior to

it going out, and there was consensus.

Commissioner Lockhart discussed the canvassing board and accepting the Board's

responsibility on that board. The statute is very clear about who is to be on the canvassing

board and what happens when someone is ineligible to serve. There is an expectation that

there would not always be a County Commissioner serving on the canvassing board; that's

how the statute was written with that understanding. With that being said, there was a time

many months ago when she suggested that as a part of the Administrative Code, they

address how the Board wants to handle serving on the canvassing board. They don't have

anything in the Administrative Code that acknowledges that the Board acknowledges that

there is a role for the commissioners on the canvassing board and that it is the county's

canvassing board. After the Chariman's time serving in the next round, he'll have a really

good grasp of some specific things that could be included. One of the tensions that they had

with the community that was very concerned that there was no county commissioner serving

on the canvassing board in the past, was that they really don't have a formative document that

says, "this is what we acknowledge, this is how we will do it; and when one of us can't, this is

what we're going to do." It's not spelled out, so when there is a vacuum, people fill it with their

own thoughts; and they're not always accurate. She suggested that after this election cycle,

they could pick that up and look at that as something they could add. Chairman Zembower

stated he's asked the County Attorney in that vein to look at some details about the county's

canvassing board. He discussed some of the roles a commissioner has on the canvassing

board. He has also asked the County Attorney to get with the County Manager to look at the

capability of SGTV being present to video the process as it takes place.
