paid days off for County employees; and 4b, 601 Lake Shore Drive Settlement Agreement.

Mr. Gray pulled Agenda Item 24, 5th Amendment to Bike/Walk Central Florida Agreement, so

staff can get some more information before they bring it back to the Board.

Vice Chairman Lockhart requested Agenda Item 19, Arts Funding Agreement, be pulled for a

separate discussion and vote.

Public Comment on Consent Agenda

It was determined that all Public Comment was regarding Agenda Item 19, which was pulled

for separate discussion. Public Comment is heard with that item.

Consent Agenda Item(s) Pulled for Separate Discussion/Vote

19.

Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Arts Funding

Agreement between Seminole County and Seminole Cultural Arts

Council, Inc., in the amount of $73,483.00 for the 2025/2026 fiscal year.

Countywide (Gui Cunha, Director of Economic Development and Tourism)

2025-1103

Vice Chairman Lockhart explained the reason she pulled this item is because she

wants to make sure that the County is using taxpayer dollars as best they can so that

the money allocated is going to the programs that this Board intended them to go to.

She discussed the history of this agreement, and advised she wants to know if this is

the best way to utilize the funds so that they can have more of the dollars actually

reaching its intended purpose. That is why she is pulling the item, to ask for more time

to ask for more information; do some comparative what they did prior, what they're

doing now; and is there a better way to do it. Commissioner Zembower stated he

concurs and has some very similar questions.

With regard to public participation, Bill Hyde spoke in opposition, and the following

spoke in support: Abby Sanchez, Kimberly McCue, Steven Young, Sharyn Battey, Don

Epps, Virginia Poe, Deborah Bauer (document received and filed). No one else spoke,

and public input was closed.

Public Comment Forms were received and filed.

Vice Chairman Lockhart discussed the Board's decision in 2023 to give SCAC

additional funds on top of the funds that they had already been giving them. She also

pointed out the Board's discussion in 2023 suggesting that a percentage or dollar

amount of the funds that the County is giving be required to be used towards grants,

and stated that is something they might want to look at. Maybe they could look at the

idea of having it be a matching grant. She's thinking about it in a perspective of not just

because they've done it a certain way, but how can they do it better; how can they

encourage more public participation.

Motion by Vice Chairman Lockhart, seconded by Commissioner Zembower, to continue

the item to an upcoming Board meeting, and let staff determine what the timing needs

to be based on when they can gather all the information.

Under discussion, Commissioner Zembower stated he would like to see financial

documents to see how the money is being utilized and that is why he supports the

motion. Commissioner Constantine stated he supports the motion but feels

uncomfortable keeping it at some future meeting. He thinks they should make sure

they get the right amount of money, the right suggestions in the hands of those that are

required to do the job as soon as possible.

Vice Chairman Lockhart offered a friendly amendment to continue the item to January

27, 2026. They will also have the Wayne Densch agreement coming forward, so they

could do them both on the same agenda if possible. Mr. Gray advised they could do

that. Commissioner Zembower agreed to the amendment as seconder.

Chairman Herr stated she did ask to see the budget, and she thinks the budget was

shared with everybody. The budget does not include enough detail from her

perspective. It simply has one line item called grants. She would like to see the grants

spelled out. She'd also like to see multiple years of budgets; she'd be delighted with

five years. They need to see what was happening before they made the change, and

what's happening now. They need to see a detailed line item budget because she

believes they are here because there is not enough transparency; going forward they

need to solve that issue.

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

Vice Chairman Lockhart asked if they can answer the same questions for the Wayne

Densch agreement. She would like to be fair and consistent and ask for the same level

of detail for the other arts organization that they're giving money to.

V. WORKSESSION

25. Septic Tanks (Johnny Edwards, Utilities Director, and Kim Ornberg,

Environmental Services Director)

Mr. Edwards, Ms. Ornberg, and Robert Reiss, Reiss Consulting Solutions/CHA

Consulting, addressed the Board and presented the item as outlined in the agenda

backup. Mr. Edwards pointed out the three decision points that they have before the

Board today: whether or not the Board wants staff to proceed with the first

septic-to-sewer projects in the Wekiva PFA to utilize the existing DEP grant; whether

the Board wants to seek homeowner participation through either an MSBU or a Special

Assessment District; and if they are going to seek homeowner funding, does the Board

want to return that to the utility fund or utilize that to increase the scope of the project to

remediate more tanks.

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

The Board shared their comments and suggestions regarding the presentation. There

were some questions for staff.

Commissioner Zembower advised he would be fine moving forward with the pilot

project initially. He thinks that gives them some experience with what they're going to

deal with across the rest of the county in those areas that they have to do it. He's

assuming they'll discover hiccups, speed bumps, errors, and all those things that they

could utilize to do a better job later. He would like to understand what an MSBU or

Special Assessment District would look like and what that means to people from a cost

standpoint. He'd also be okay for residents who want to participate that that money go

back in to help do further projects of this magnitude. Commissioner Dallari stated he

would like some additional information on how they will handle enforcement, operation

and management, and the monthly cost. He has no problem moving forward with the

pilot program; but all of the other options, they still need a lot more information before

they go there. At this point, he is not willing to give further direction because there's not

enough information. Vice Chairman Lockhart opined that if they're going to do a pilot

project, it needs to be a community that has elected and voted through some process,

maybe similar to the MSBU process, that they want to go through this. They need to

make sure they're doing this in partnership with whatever community they would pilot

with. Commissioner Constantine advised the first step is that they have to proceed with

the first septic-to-sewer project. They need to look at any new project putting in

advanced septic tanks everywhere, because it's going to come down the pike to

everybody. They also need to look at anybody that has a septic tank that fails, having

to replace it with the advanced septic tank if they cannot get sanitary sewer.

Commissioner Constantine added they need to look at their end of it because the

Legislature has not yet taken away the ability of local governments to come up with

innovative and creative solutions, and suggested voluntary insurance policies.

Regarding Board discussion, Commissioner Zembower stated he would not be a fan of

forcing residents who need a drain field replaced to upgrade the entire septic system.

He would like to know more about when that is triggered. Commissioner Constantine

clarified, this is mostly for properties under one acre. Those larger than an acre would

not be as affected because they have the property that would help not pollute as much.

Chairman Herr advised she thinks the direction with regard to the opportunity to create

that requirement, is that staff needs to evaluate this discussion with the technical

experts and bring it back to the Board.

Chairman Herr stated she thinks they should proceed with the first septic-to-sewer

project, and it should be someone willing to do it. There should be some level of

homeowner participation. She does not have a recommendation with regard to the

spread and the scale, although she thinks it is well done and bringing back that type of

detail will be extremely helpful. And anything that is returned back into the organization

from that needs to come to remediate additional tanks, not to go back into the current

utility-using program. Commissioner Dallari recommended they also need to look at

other outside agencies that they could partner with. In regard to an inquiry made by

Vice Chairman Lockhart, Ms. Ornberg discussed the seven cities and their

requirements and responsibilities regarding septic-to-sewer. Brief discussion ensued.

Chairman Herr confirmed with staff that they received the direction they need.

Chairman Herr recessed the meeting at 11:31 a.m. Clerk Maloy left the meeting at this time.

Chairman Herr reconvened the meeting at 11:37 a.m.

Agreement to expand options for transit services and provide a definition

for micro-transit. Countywide (David German, Senior Planner)..end

Division:

2025-1065

Mr. German and Deputy County Attorney Neysa Borkert addressed the Board and

presented the item as outlined in the agenda memorandum.

Ms. Borkert reminded the letter they received from Florida Commerce said these are

not comments that are actionable from the State, just because they gave these

comments doesn't mean the County has to change anything, they are just suggestions.

After further review of the technical comments, there are only three different policies

referenced, and the State didn't say why or how they had come to the opinion that

these policies may be more restrictive or burdensome under the SB180 language.

Staff met with the school district. There is a memo in the agenda packet that

summarizes why each policy referenced will not result in being more restrictive or

burdensome to developers that come in. Staff feels strongly that these are okay to

pass and the State is incorrect in their analysis of these policies, because maybe they

didn't truly understand the effect of them. There were no questions from the Board.

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

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

Ordinance #2025-26 amending the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan by revising

the Introduction, Transportation, Public School Facilities, Intergovernmental

Coordination, and Capital Improvement Elements to implement the 2021 School

Interlocal Agreement to expand options for transit services and provide a definition for
