VC-1181142355607

Council Member Hayman felt further examination of the Item was needed and moved to CONTINUE it. Council Member Giles seconded the motion. Discussion followed. Growth and Resource Management Director Montye Beamer noted Council had until March of 2008 to adopt the evaluation and appraisal report (EAR)-based map amendments. She suggested having additional workshops and rescheduling the large scale Comprehensive Plan amendment to come back to Council in November, which would allow for its adoption and transmittal to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) by the following March. She also said action on the EARbased amendments could be separated from the other amendments. Council Member Hayman AMENDED his motion to CONTINUE only the EAR-based amendments to the timeline Ms. Beamer had given, and move forward with the other amendments. Further discussion ensued. Council Member Giles WITHDREW his second to the original motion, since it would be possible to take action on some of the amendments at that time. Council Member Hayman restated the amended motion, which was to CONTINUE the Agenda Item, except for Tasks #1, #2 and #4. Council Member Persis seconded the amended motion. Deputy County Attorney Jamie Seaman said for the record Council Member Hayman misstated Task #4, and instead meant to continue Task #5. Deputy County Manager Mary Anne Connors stated, given the level of concern shown by Council, staff recommended continuing the entire Agenda Item to allow time for more examination and input. Council Member Persis WITHDREW his second to the amended motion. Council Member Hayman then moved to CONTINUE Agenda Item 4, based on staff’s recommendation. Council Member Persis seconded the motion which CARRIED 5-0, with Council Member Northey absent and Chair Bruno at a previous engagement.

Resolution extending requirement for planned development approval for the Ormond Crossings Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Staff Contact: Matt Greeson, 386-736-5920, ext. 5549 VC-1181673203451 Deputy County Manager Matt Greeson gave an overview of the history of the project and also provided an accompanying slide presentation. There was discussion on the request expected in the future for an increase in the County’s contribution to the project. Staff recommended approval of the present request for a one-year extension. Land use attorney Glenn Storch said the CRA had been handled correctly and met all requirements and standards. Clay Ervin, City of Ormond Beach, thanked staff for working with the City on the issue and said he was present for any questions Council might have. Discussion followed. Council Member Hayman stated for the record the CRA was an excellent example of City-County cooperation. Council Member Giles moved APPROVAL as recommended, and after Council Member Persis seconded the motion it CARRIED 5-0, with Council Member Northey absent and Chair Bruno out of the room. Resolution No. 2007-112, entitled as follows and on file in its entirety with the records of the County Council, was duly ADOPTED. RESOLUTION NO. 2007 –112 A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL OF VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA, EXTENDING THE DELEGATION OF SPECIFIED COUNTY REDEVELOPMENT POWERS TO THE CITY OF ORMOND BEACH FOR THE ORMOND CROSSINGS PROJECT AREA; REPEALING PORTIONS OF RESOLUTION NO. 2004-131 IN CONFLICT HEREWITH; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

11:00 a.m. Item 6

Daytona Beach Shores joint planning agreement (JPA) Staff Contact: James T. Dinneen, 386-736-5920, ext. 2187

VC-1181676155842

County Manager Dinneen gave opening remarks. Council Member Giles gave an overview of the history of the project. Neighbors had concerns about the final proposed densities and condominium heights, and a plan for townhouses with height and buffer restrictions was finally selected as a transition/compromise between single family homes and condos. The end result would require a PUD, with both the City and the County participating. Daytona Beach Shores Mayor Greg Northrup and City Manager Michael Booker both spoke highly of the project, the developer and the end product. Council Member Hayman expressed G:\CMG\CLERK\MINUTES\2007\06-21-2007 Minutesdoc

Page 4 of 26

COUNTY COUNCIL MINUTES – JUNE 21, 2007

concerns regarding boat slips and public/commercial maritime activity. It was explained any type of marina facility would require a specific plan to be done separately. It also would have to be heard by both the City and the County. Daytona Beach Shores City Attorney Glenn Storch stated there would be opportunities for public meetings. Efforts had been made at good planning, addressing concerns and consensusbuilding with the community. A PUD was the best prospect for public comment at the current stage.

Michael Woods, attorney for the property owner, stated the plan was a good example of how

such joint projects should be handled. His client was happy the matter had been brought before the County Council, and accepted the height and buffer restrictions.

Myra Gercken, a neighbor of the proposed development, felt it would be incompatible and inconsistent with the current land use. She cited traffic, environmental and school concurrency concerns and asked that Council deny the request. Mayor Northrup noted the State required the counties to address school concurrency, and the zoning would allow a higher density than what was being requested. Discussion followed. While there still were some concerns and it was acknowledged the proposal was not perfect, it was generally agreed it was the best compromise that could be reached. Council Member Giles moved for APPROVAL as recommended and after Council Member Alexander seconded the motion it CARRIED 6-0, with Council Member Northey absent.

11:25 a.m. Item 7

RSQ No. 07-SQ-100BB Direction on contract for professional auditing services Staff Contact: Matt Greeson, 286-736-5920, ext. 5549

VC-1180970579669

Deputy County Manager Matt Greeson gave the staff report. He stated James L. Moore and Co. was the only respondent. Council could either negotiate a contract with or rebid for other input. Also, there were three options as to the term of the contract, but there was no price difference among them. After some discussion, Council Member Hayman moved to APPROVE the contract with James L. Moore and Co. for five years with one, two-year renewal. Council Member Alexander seconded the motion, which CARRIED 6-0, with Council Member Northey absent.

Bernadette Britz-Parker, of James L. Moore and Co., thanked Council for its support. 11:30 a.m. Item 8

Building and Zoning Director Mary Robinson gave the staff report. In response to a question from Council Member Alexander, applicant Sheryl Denan replied there were breakpoints in the tower to enable it to bend inward and collapse upon itself in case of a hurricane or extremely high winds. The requested 85-foot radius was simply a safety feature to more firmly ensure the tower did not fall onto the highway. Council Member Hayman moved to UPHOLD the PLDRC recommendation of APPROVAL with the following CONDITIONS, as recommended by staff: 1. The Special Exception approval is for a single, self-supported monopole tower with a maximum height not to exceed 170 feet (AGL), and capable of co-locating a total of five carriers as shown on the Special Exception site plan. The proposed tower shall be located on the parcel in accordance with the submitted Special Exception plan subject to Land Development Code requirements and the approval of condition # 2. 2. County Council waiver to Section 817.00(w)(5)(e) Communication towers. Setbacks and separation to allow a tower separation from residential dwellings to be less than 1,000 ft., (750 ft.) from the existing single-family dwelling adjacent to the northwest. 3. Development of the parcel shall be subject to submittal of a conceptual site plan to the Land Development Division for review and approval prior to building permit application. The site plan must comply with applicable Zoning Ordinance and Land Development Code requirements. The subject parcel shall be developed in accordance with the site plan as may be modified by these conditions and/or modified by further County review and/or modified by the FAA/FCC and/or other permitting requirements. 4. All permits shall be obtained from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and/or any other applicable federal, state, or local governmental agencies as required and submitted to the Growth and Resource Management Department. The facility shall be maintained and operated in full accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations and permits. 5. The tower shall be lighted with dual lighting as specified by FAA Advisory Circular AC70/7460-1K, so that it is visible to aircraft in low light conditions. 6. If the tower is unused for a period of 180 consecutive days, the tower shall be deemed abandoned. Determination of the date of abandonment shall be made by the zoning enforcement official, who shall have the right to request documentation and/or affidavits from the tower owner regarding its usage. Upon such abandonment, the owner/operator of the tower shall have an additional 180 days within which to reactivate the use of the tower or transfer the tower to another owner/operator who makes actual use of the tower, or to dismantle and remove the tower. One hundred eighty days from the date of abandonment with reactivation or upon completion of dismantling and removal, whichever occurs first, any approval for the tower shall automatically expire.

7. The tower owner shall provide an inspection report at least every five years, signed and sealed by a structural engineer licensed by the State of Florida, certifying that the tower is in good operating condition and meets all FCC and ANSI specifications. 8. A 15-foot wide, planted landscape buffer shall be maintained within the tower lease area. 9.

Setbacks and separation (763 ft. in lieu of the required 1000 ft.) from the residence to the northwest; and (628 ft. in lieu of the required 1000 ft.) from the residence to the south and a waiver to Section 817.00(w)(8) Communication towers.

Deputy County Attorney Jamie Seaman clarified the request, stating it was not a reconsideration, as the Special Exception had already been granted. It was simply a request for modification to several conditions. Council discussion followed and concerns were expressed over wetland impact.

Mary Solik, attorney for TBCOM Properties, stated Council’s approval would allow the applicant

to go through the process in an appropriate manner and the impact to the area would be very small. Also, there would be no impervious surface; instead of paving, gravel would be used to stabilize the access roads.

Mike Burkhead, a consulting ecologist, explained the grading process.

Topics: Mini Budget Workshop - Unfunded Mandates; Elections Staff Contacts: James Dinneen, 386-736-5920 Charlene Weaver, 386-943-7054, ext. 2725

VC-1181153739435

County Manager Jim Dinneen gave opening remarks. He stated there were two troubling issues with the concept of unfunded mandates. One was local county governments’ perception by the public as the “enemy” that had instituted the various subsidies, when in fact the counties were only acting as agents for the State. The other was the State not taking the responsibility for passing along the cost of the subsidized programs to the counties. He felt citizens needed to know how much of the County’s budget revenue was dictated by action from the State, and that it was time to have it all put on the record. G:\CMG\CLERK\MINUTES\2007\06-21-2007 Minutesdoc

Page 17 of 26

COUNTY COUNCIL MINUTES – JUNE 21, 2007

Using a PowerPoint presentation, Elections Supervisor Ann McFall then gave an overview of her unfunded, yet mandated, budget situation in relation to the upcoming elections. Statewide, the Departments of Elections (DOE) made up a very large unfunded mandate in Florida, but counties were required to fund their own Elections Departments. The funding came primarily from the counties’ General Funds. In 2007-2008, there would be 31 municipal elections, two major countywide elections, preparation for the Presidential General Election, which is the major election, along with multiple constitutional revision petitions and some 70,000 changes to the voter registration database in 2008. It also was anticipated that 60,000 to 70,000 absentee ballot requests would be taken for each election in 2008. It was expected that the Volusia County DOE budget for 2007-08 would be $4,612,019, representing an increase of $1,059,568. Just the cost of the three 2008 Presidential Elections (Preference, Primary and General) would be approximately $1,266,000. Added to that were both Discretionary and Non-Discretionary costs, which totaled about $1,059,568. There also was a proposed budget reduction of 10% -- approximately $570,217 -- which also reflected a number of personnel cuts. This brought the total 2007-2008 budget to $4,621,019. Activity Project Manager Laurie White spoke about the future outlook, particularly as it related to equipment needs from the present through 2012. There were various requirements for optical scan and touch screen equipment. Beginning in 2008, Diebold would no longer produce the optical scan apparatus the County used. The vendor would continue technical support, but it was unknown if its new unit would be compatible with the County’s existing equipment. If the Holt Bill passed on the Federal level, the V-Pack or some other paper mechanism would have to be provided for the 2008 Federal elections. It was possible a $5-6 million unfunded mandate could result. If the Hometown Democracy Initiative passed, the number of elections required to be held would expand at a rapid rate, with the costs to be born by cities and counties. There also were ramifications to consider relating to independent audit and new reporting requirements. Council discussion followed. Mr. Dinneen cautioned that the Legislature also had capped the amount of monies counties could spend for mandated programs. Council Member Persis asked about the possibility of the County applying for a grant to demonstrate another way of voting. He cited the example of voting from one’s home by using a hand-held device. Ms. McFall explained some points about Florida Statutes which did not certify such a practice. Council Member Hayman expressed concern about the reduction in polling places Ms. McFall planned. Mr. Dinneen added if it became absolutely necessary, the County simply would have to find the $5-6 million required to cover the unfunded mandate Ms. White had described. He added Ms. McFall actually needed about a 25% budget increase, but the County was facing many unfunded mandates and simply could not add to every budget in need. He also pointed out the State still had not informed the County of its final budget reduction amount. Even if the County withstood the overall cutback process, it still could be hurt in a number of areas affecting services.
