2013 Annual Report
This report includes the activities and accomplishments of the Okaloosa County Commission on the Status of Women
(OCCSW) for the year 2013. The OCCSW was established in 1995 by the Okaloosa County Board of County
Commissioners with the purpose of recognizing and honoring women who have made significant contributions to the
improvement of women and citizens of Okaloosa County.
The Wall of Honor was established by the
OCCSW in partnership with the University of
West Florida to accept nominations from the
public for women deserving recognition for the
sacrifices made to help and encourage members in
the community. In May 2013, a ceremony was
held on the NW Florida State College/University
of West Florida (NWFSC/UWF), Ft Walton
Beach campus, for the Women’s Wall of Honor
recipients. The 2013 Wall of Honor inductees were Michelle Anchors, Mary E. Burnette, Mary L. Florence, Martha
Gorecki, Mary W. Hahn, Valene Healey Harris, Deborah L. Hewitt, Agnes V. “Ginger” Maddox, Tammy McDaniel,
Louise Postell Meyers, Rachel Bartek Morrison, LuAnn Pulliam, Gwendolyn Shelton Slife and Gail Waller. Since 1997
144 women have been inducted. A plaque is hung on the wall with the honoree names, and a book with their bios and
pictures is also maintained in that room.
Each year the OCCSW organizes the Hall of Fame to provide an
opportunity to recognize women from Okaloosa County who have made
an important impact on women and citizens in the county. In August, in
recognition of Women’s Equality Day, a ceremony was held at
Northwest Florida State College (NWFSC) for all nominees. The 2013
Hall of Fame inductees were Mary E. Burnette, Rogene Anchors Hasty
and Sara “Sam” Seevers. Since 1995, 84 women have been inducted.
Their pictures are placed in the Okaloosa County Water and Sewer
Building in Fort Walton Beach, the County Court House in Crestview, and the Niceville City Chambers with the
inductees of previous years.
Due to the amount and quality of publicity for women obtained through the OCCSW, the awareness of the
accomplishments of the women of Okaloosa County has risen significantly over the past few years. More details about the
honorees and the events can be viewed at our website www.occsw.org. The OCCSW also maintains a roster of members
who are available to speak to clubs and/or organizations concerning the status of women and their needs in Okaloosa
County, as well as other topics of interest to all county residents.
Barbara Wall (OCCSW commissioner representing District 5) has also been a member of the Florida Commission on the
Status of Women (FCSW) since her appointment by Governor Christ in 2010. She served as the FCSW’s secretary in
2012, and was elected to serve as its Vice Chair in 2013.
The Okaloosa County Commission on the Status of Women receives no public funding; it relies instead on support from
our community. Financial contributions from local businesses, organizations and individuals enable OCCSW to continue
Packet Pg. 39
its support of women in Okaloosa County through various events and projects, including the Women’s Wall of Honor and
Hall of Fame, and the new annual scholarship. Additionally, OCCSW members provide food, beverages, and paper
products for all OCCSW’s annual events. Commission funds were used in 2013 to purchase honoree plaques, certificates,
corsages, picture frames and scrapbooks; to maintain the website; to fund the scholarship; and to renew membership in the
National Association of Commissions for Women. The Commission also makes annual contributions to Children in
Crisis, Shelter House and the Children’s Advocacy Center.
2013 Highlights
• County Commissioner Kelly Windes installed new officers in
January 2013: Shirley Pigott, chair; Valerie McLaughlin, vice
chair; Mary Blackwell, secretary; Amy McBride, treasurer,
and Jeanne Rief, historian.
• We began the year with $2,392.98 and ended in December with a balance of $687.17.
• We sent a two-member delegation to represent OCCSW at the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame induction.
• In recognition of Women’s History Month, we asked the Board of County Commissioners and each city in the
county to sign a Proclamation to proclaim the Month of March as Women’s History Month, and we partnered
with NWFSC for its 2013 Women’s History Month program featuring Anna Rodriguez of the Florida Coalition
Against Human Trafficking.
• We presented our 2012 Annual Report to the County Commissioners in April 2013.
• We established an unendowed scholarship with the NWFSC Foundation, and presented our first $1,000
scholarship to Hadley Finn in July.
• We established a donor sponsorship program and published it on the website (http://www.occsw.org/donate.htm).
• Mary Burnette, the OCSW nominee to the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame, was shortlisted for the governor’s
review. Although not selected for induction for 2013, FCSW will automatically resubmit her in 2014.
• The Nominating Committee presented a slate of incoming officers for 2014: Valerie McLaughlin, chair; Amy
McBride, vice chair; Mary Blackwell, secretary; Dawn Johnson, treasurer; and Jeanne Rief, historian. (They were
installed in January 2014.)
• The budget for 2014 was developed and approved.
• The audit committee examined the OCCSW account to ensure funds were balanced, and the books were turned
over to the incoming treasurer.
• The OCCSW membership logged over 189 volunteer hours per month during 2013.
So you see we had a very full and fun year.
We are hopeful, with the support of the community and the Board of County Commissioners, that we can further our
efforts to recognize the many women who have made – and continue to make – Okaloosa the great County it is today and
to assist women to improve their status.

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Sunil Harman
SUBJECT: Selection Committee Nominations and Contract Extension
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve
selection recommendation committee members for Airport Management Consulting
Services RFQ review. In addition, the Board is requested to approve an extension of the
incumbent contractor, AMRI, Inc. From May 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014.
BACKGROUND: AMRI's contract expires May 1, 2014; however, the Task Order for
preparation and submission of Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Application No. 6 needs
additional time from its original estimated completion date. The PFC application process
is governed by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations which require an
extensive schedule including a public comment period, consultation with the airlines and
the Orlando Airports District Office, before being sent to the regional office in Atlanta for
review and approval. Each phase may take as much as thirty days (not all combined), so
we currently estimate completion of the process in August. Further complicating the
airline consultation requirement has been the recent merger of United/Continental, and the
ongoing merger of American and U.S. Airways. This extension of AMRI's agreement will
also facilitate the transition of the replacement consultant.
Recommended selection recommendation committee members are: Gary Stanford (or
designee), Clerks Office; Kimberly Kilpatrick, Water & Sewer; Bill Leaman, Convention
Center; Clay Simmons, Public Works; and Jon Morris, Airports. Purchasing Department
will facilitate the process.
OPTIONS: Approve, disapprove, or Table
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Airport Staff recommends approval of the contract
extension and the selection recommendation committee membership.

AND TO PROVIDE AN EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, Florida is the 4th largest state in the nation representing more than 19 million
people in 67 counties; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Association of Counties helps counties effectively serve and
represent Floridians by strengthening and preserving county home rule through advocacy,
education and collaboration. For more than 80 years, the Florida Association of Counties (FAC)
has represented the diverse interests of Florida’s counties, emphasizing the importance of
protecting home rule – the concept that communities and their local leaders should make the
decisions that impact their community; and
WHEREAS, FAC is the only association representing Florida's counties – bringing
together the collective experience and knowledge of 377 county commissioners and supported by
thousands of county professional staff. FAC provides the cohesive platform that enables county
officials and staff to speak with a unified voice on behalf of all Floridians. Through FAC, counties
are better able to serve not only their communities, but the entire state of Florida; and
WHEREAS, Leon County Commissioner Bryan Desloge has faithfully served on the Leon
County Board of County Commissioners for seven years representing the citizens in District 4 as

of Counties Board of Directors for two terms; and
Packet Pg. 63
WHEREAS, the National Association of Counties (NACo) is the only national
organization that represents county governments in the United States. Founded in 1935, NACo
provides essential services to the nation’s 3,069 counties. NACo advances issues with a unified
voice before the federal government, improves the public’s understanding of county government,
assists counties in finding and sharing innovative solutions through education and research, and
provides value-added services to save counties and taxpayers money; and
WHEREAS, in August 2006, NACo was named one of nine remarkable associations in the
United States after a four-year study conducted by the American Society of Association Executives
and The Center for Association Leadership because of its commitment to members and purpose.
WHEREAS, Commissioner Desloge is committed to bringing civility and unity back into
public service to increase opportunities for taxpayers. His passion has led him to join with others
in the creation and development of the Village Square and further encourages every county in
Florida to endorse the candidacy of Commissioner Desloge but to also commit to attend the
National Association of Counties Annual Conference in July 2014 so that all of Florida’s 67
counties can place their vote to elect Commissioner Desloge 2nd Vice President of the National
Association of Counties.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF OKALOOSA COUNTY, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Board of County Commissioners of Okaloosa County, Florida do
endorse and support the candidacy of Bryan Desloge, County Commissioner for Leon County,

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S UPDATE
Mr. Padgett provided an update on the Department of Juvenile
Justice (DJJ) issue. He pointed out that Okaloosa County
overpaid DJJ more than $3 Million, adding that thirty counties
in the state were also overcharged by DJJ. Mr. Padgett said he
is hoping the Legislature will do the right thing about
correcting this problem but we will have to wait until the end
of the 60 - day session to see . He advised the latest information
he has through the Florida Association of Counties ( FAC) is
there are negotiations for the counties and DJJ to work out a
50/50 split on the cost of housing juvenile offenders but there
is no discussion about refunding the money owed to the counties
by the state.
Mr. Padgett said he would like direction from the Board to
connect with FAC and to communicate a message that Okaloosa
March 4, 2014 -1- Minute Book 70, Page 263
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 72
County feels strongly the cost allocation should be discussed
and that the money owed the county should be part of the
discussion and negotiations.
Mr . Parisot provided commentary on a history of the DJJ issue,
saying he believes it is headed in the same direction as the
Medicare matter. He said they want to put the county's share in
a trust fund but not the state's share. Mr. Parisot opined the
Legislature has a history of robbing trust funds.
Mr. Amunds suggested Mr. Padgett draft a strong letter, provide
each commissioner with a copy, and bring the letter back for
consideration at the next meeting. Mr. Parisot recommended
copies of the letter be sent to the county's legislative
delegation. Mr. Windes stated the Legislative Session has
already begun and asked if action should be taken before the
next meeting. He also asked Mr. Padgett if he needs a motion.
Mr. Padgett did not feel a motion was necessary and advised he
will draft a letter for the commissioners' review.
COMMISSIONER'S MINUTE
Mr. Parisot said last fall there was discussion about issuing a
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for auditing services. He said
he would like to see that topic placed on a future agenda for
discussion.
Mr. Boyles stated he has nothing this evening.
Mr. Amunds said it is his understanding a discussion on the West
Destin Beach Restoration MSBU will be on the next Board agenda.
Mr. Padgett confirmed it will be on the March 18 agenda.
Mr. Harris referred to the $3 - Million overpayment to the DJJ and
said he feels the Board should take a stand. Upon inquiry by
Mr . Harris, Mr. Stanford confirmed the county's total in
unfunded mandates is $38 Million.
Mr. Windes also stated he has nothing this evening.
PUBLIC COMMENTS RELATING TO THE AGENDA
Undersheriff Don Adams stated for the last six weeks the
Sheriff's Office has been staffing the event permit by Relev ent
on behalf of V S Pink for use of James Lee Park near the Crab
Trap (Public Works Department item #1) He explained this is a
March 4, 2014 - 2- Minute Book 70, Page 264
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 73
marketing event by a New York agency in conjunction with Pink
and Victoria Secret. Undersheriff Adams reported the Sheriff's
Office does not necessarily object to the permit request but
expressed concern the event will be held during Spring Break
which is a taxing time for responding to calls. He pointed out
the month of March has historically been the busiest time of the
year, exceeding the month of July by 20% to 25%.
Undersheriff Adams asked the Board to consider approval of the
permit contingent upon the requestors hiring off -duty deputies
for additional security. The event is scheduled to run from
noon until 5: 00 p.m. on March 13. He advised the cost for 14
man hours would be $348. Upon inquiry by Mr. Pari sot, Mr.
Amunds stated it will be the vendor's responsibility to pay for
the off-duty officers.
Undersheriff Adams stated many Chamber of Commerce members take
advantage of the off - duty services for their clientele. Mr.
Amunds suggested for future events the Sheriff's Office make
recommendations on additional security and projected costs for
same. Undersheriff Adams pointed out this is the first event of
this magnitude (projected attendance is 1,000 people).
Mr. Clint Rogers, representing the Crab Trap, stated he will
contact the Sheriff's Office for arrangements to hire off -duty
officers for the event, adding that either the Crab Trap or Pink
will pay for these services.
VISITOR LINDA SUMBLIN, CAREERSOURCE OKALOOSA WALTON,
REBRANDING OF WORKFORCE SYSTEM
Mrs. Linda Sumblin, Executive Director of CareerSource Okaloosa
Walton (formerly Workforce Development Board), thanked the Board
for its support and provided updated information on their
services. She explained there are 24 Workforce Boards
throughout the state and each one has a different name. It has
been difficult for citizens to know how to locate the service
with this diversity.
Mrs. Sumblin stated the Chairman of the CareerSource Board is
Martha Miller with Coastal Bank and the program year is from
July 1 through June 30. She announced that last year the
program provided service to 32,955 walk-ins. Mrs. Sumblin noted
they have also worked with 2, 789 employers in the county. She
provided a short video at this time to explain why the Workforce
Development Boards are being renamed to CareerSource.

Mr. Harris stated he has worked with this organization for
fifteen years and cannot think of a better way to use taxpayer
dollars than providing jobs. He spoke highly of the leadership
for the Workforce Development Board/CareerSource.
Mr. Parisot encouraged individuals to donate work attire to the
Career Closet. Mrs. Sumblin stated they do provide professional
clothing at no charge for both women and men going on
interviews . She said the Career Closet began as a partnership
with the United Way.
VISITOR - NATHAN SPARKS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL, PHASE III
OF GULF POWER INDUSTRIAL PARK CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Mr. Nathan Sparks, Executive Director of the Economic
Development Council (EDC) , stated they have been working the
last few months on the Gulf Power initiative for site
certification which was introduced to the county last spring.
(Please see Minutes of May 21, 2013 for Board discussion on
participation in the Gulf Power Site Certification Program.)
Mr. Sparks stated the site selected for the program was in and
around the Bob Sikes Airport and Airpark. He said EDC has been
working with not only the Airports Department but the Water &
Sewer, Growth Management, and Public Works Departments.
Mr. Sparks stated the information before the Board is the result
of Phases I and II of the program. He provided a map of the
chosen site which consists of 205 acres. Mr. Sparks advised
there is a minimum requirement of 100 acres for a site to be
considered for the program . He said the county has been invited
to participate in Phase III. Mr. Sparks stated there are some
significant costs associated with the 205 - acre site and said if
the Board wants to continue, it may want to consider a smaller
parcel. He stated they have identified 119 acres east of the
airfield which includes property along Adora Teal Way .
The following items were identified by Mr. Sparks for
consideration:
• The fastest growing trend in economic development is the
demand for project - ready industrial site locations .
• Companies are not willing to wait for a community to
identify appropriate sites and determine suitability for
development.
March 4, 2014 - 4- Minute Book 70, Page 266
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 75
• Participation in the program does not guarantee success but
does guarantee you will receive priority consideration and
be more competitive.
• In the real world, the majority of projects/ clients are
driven by speed - to-market pressure.
• After the certification process is completed, the site will
be added to a national registry of properties identified as
ready for development.
• Gulf Power anticipates launching a specific marketing
campaign for newly certified site.
• Northwest Florida is ahead of the curve as South and
Central Florida are in the beginning stages of developing a
similar program through Duke Energy.
Mr. Sparks told the Board that Jackson, Bay, Walton, Santa Rosa,
and Escambia Counties have also been invited to participate in
Phase III. He further reported Bay and Escambia Counties are
going forward.
Mr. Amunds stated the projected costs for Phase III are "all
over the board" and asked if the county will have time to
advertise for a Request for Proposals (RFP) to get a more
refined cost. Mr . Sparks replied the range of costs have been
from $80, 000 to $228, 000 and the only way to truly determine a
final cost is to go forward with a competitive proposal process.
He said at that point the Board could have additional discussion
on the value of pursuing participation in Phase III. Mr. Sparks
stated there is a compressed timeline with a deadline line of
September 9, 2 014 for completion of the application to
participate in Phase III.
Mr. Harris remarked there is opportunity for a substantial
return on investment. He asked Mr. Sparks what is the worst
case scenario for not participating. Mr. Sparks responding the
county would not have an opportunity to compete and would not
get attention from Gulf Power on the First Sites Program. He
added that he is leery of the message it will send to Enterprise
Florida and to Gulf Power.
Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Harris, for Mr. Sparks
to work with county staff to prepare and issue a RFP for
engineering related to Phase III of the Gulf Power site
certification program and to task the County Administrator with
identifying the potential funding source for those services.
Mr. Boyles asked if this is the right direction-should EDC have

Packet Pg. 76
a more active role or should the county handle the RFP. Mr.
Sparks answered that it is county property and the county should
be in charge of this process. He said the EDC will play a
partnership role, adding the county knows the Purchasing
policies better than he does. Mr. Parisot amended his motion to
provide direction to county staff to prepare and issue the RFP
and for the County Administrator to identify a funding source.
Mr. Harris confirmed his second. 5 yeas.
VISITOR NATHAN SPARKS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL, ANNUAL
REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013
Mr. Nathan Sparks, Executive Director of the Economic
Development Council (EDC), stated in Fiscal Year 2013, Okaloosa
County invested $120,933 in the EDC. This amount equates to 29%
of the EDC's total operational budget. He listed a breakdown of
how these funds were used:
• 40% for existing industry retention and expansion
• 20% for workforce development issues
• 30% for strategic marketing/industry recruitment
• 10% for defense support activities
Upon inquiry by Mr. Amunds, Mr. Sparks stated he will work with
county staff to have the EDC budget available on the county's
website. Mr. Harris said he believes this is the first time the
Board has been presented with such a comprehensive report on the
use of these tax dollars.

TDD Director; Rick Owen, County Administrator's Office; and
Commissioner Nathan Boyles.
Mr. Boyles stated it was a good process, noting staff took it

PUBLIC WORKS SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT REQUEST BY RELEVENT ON

Mr. John Hofstad, Public Works Director, stated a request for a

(Victoria Secret) Pink to hold a promotional event on March 13,
2014 from noon until 5:00 p.m. at James Lee Park. Proposed
activities include a cooling lounge, juice bar, games, and a DJ.
He advised the request has been vetted through all departments
and copies of the insurance have been received. Mr. Hofstad
said staff requests approval of the permit with the caveat
outlined by Undersheriff Adams at the beginning of the meeting
and with the applicant paying for the cost of additional law
enforcement. Mr. Amunds made motion, seconded by Mr. Pari sot,
to approve the special event permit request with the stipulation
the applicant hire additional off - duty officers for security at

PUBLIC WORKS - MUNICIPAL SERVICES BENEFIT UNIT POLICY REVISIONS
Mr. Hofstad stated there has been a Municipal Services Benefit
Unit/Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSBU/MSTU) Policy in effect
for several years. Existing MSBUs are for landscaping,
sidewalks, and street lights. He reported there have been
requests from residents in the Baker area to have road
construction accomplished through a MSBU. Mr. Hofstad said in
this specific instance there is no platted right - of - way and the
county has no right to be on the property. He clarified that it
is a two - rut private road. He stated the residents approached
Mr. Boyles last year about road improvements funded through a
MSBU. He informed the Board there was no mechanism in the
current policy to allow this request.
Mr. Hofstad advised the Board the MSBU policy has been revised
and vetted through staff. He acknowledged the input from Mr.
March 4, 2014 - 11 - Minute Book 70, Page 273
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 84
Boyles, adding Mr. Dowd also vetted the revisions. Mr. Hofstad
stated the revised MSBU Policy provides a mechanism for
unplatted property, through gathered efforts buying into the
process, to have funding for making certain improvements. He
stressed this policy is a "living document." The proposed
revisions do allow for a petitioning process with property
owners paying for the materials and using in - house resources to
construct roadways. He said that is the basic addition to the
policy.
Mr. Boyles thanked staff, saying he thinks this is an innovative
approach. He added that he believes this is a step in the right
direction. Mr. Boyles said the revisions include an extensive
petition process, conveying right - of-way, and buying the
materials.
Upon inquiry by Mr. Amunds, Mr. Hofstad stated the property
owners would have to deed the right - of - way before any money goes
into the MSBU. He added the policy outlines the timeframe for
the process, pointing out the MSBU will come back before the
Board for approval during an advertised public hearing.
Mr. Harris commended Mr. Boyles for pushing this through. He
also issued a challenge to the residents in The Pines
Subdivision to make use of the policy for their benefit.
Mr. Pari sot stated he likes the concept and giving people an
opportunity to help themselves . He said the policy could be
extended to creation of MSBUs for construction of sidewalks and
stormwater systems. Mr. Pari sot stated there are some changes
that need to be made to the proposed policy and he would rather
those changes be inserted and brought back at the next meeting.
Mr. Parisot made motion to make updates to the proposed policy
and bring it back at the next meeting. Motion dies for lack of
a second.
Mr . Boyles asked the nature of the updates. Mr. Parisot replied
some are legal "things" which should be addressed with Mr. Dowd.
He said the policy should be expanded to other areas. Mr.
Parisot said the language says right - of - way "must be deeded" but
that would not work for stormwater across someone's property and
would need to be an easement.
Mr. Boyles stated the proposed revision policy is geared with
some changes for MSBUs in general and others are specifically
March 4, 2014 - 12- Minute Book 70, Page 274
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 85
for road construction. He said there is one policy for street
lighting and one for road construction. Mr. Boyles recommended
Mr. Parisot work with staff to create a third policy relating to
stormwater and a fourth for sidewalks. He underscored the fact
that the policies for each type of MSBU will vary.
Continuing, Mr. Boyles stated he has no problem with correcting
any technical difficulties. He said, however, if these are
personal preferences, then there should be an opportunity to
review individually, line - by - line. Mr. Boyles remarked that it
is his understanding this was staffed through. Mr. Pari sot
replied he sent 10 to 12 questions to Mr. Dowd and had
significant discussion with staff yesterday afternoon. He again
said he would like for the policy to be corrected and then
returned for a vote.
Mr. Boyles addressed Mr. Dowd and Mr. Hofstad and asked if there
are any technical deficiencies and if the policy is ready. Mr.
Hofstad replied that he thinks some of the questions are best
answered by the County Attorney, such as whether it is a MSBU or
a MSTU. He said some of the other issues can be cleared up.
Mr. Dowd referred to a typo -- "MBSU" rather than "MSBU" requiring
correction and in a couple of places reference to giving notice.
He stated in the Statutes notification is required by "first
class mail." Mr. Dowd said he did not know of any other
deficiencies.
Mr. Boyles made motion to approve the policy as written. Motion
dies for lack of a second.
Mr. Harris made motion, seconded by Mr. Boyles, to approve the
revised MSBU Policy with corrections as mentioned by the County
Attorney. Mr. Boyles said those are specifically for the
typographical errors to be corrected and insertion of the proper
statutory notification (first - class mail) . Mr. Harris amended
his motion to reflect these specifics. Mr. Parisot remarked
those are just two minor issues he raised with Mr. Dowd and
staff. Mr. Amunds asked if there is anything time sensitive
which would not allow the policy to be tabled until next week
with the scrivener's errors corrected. Mr. Hofstad stated there
are two options: make changes and bring back at the next
meeting or take the motion and correct the typos which were
identified. He again underlined the fact this is a living
document.
March 4, 2014 -13- Minute Book 70, Page 275
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 86
Mr. Dowd stated the policy as written refers to "lot owners" but
Mr. Parisot wants the properties identified by addresses. He
said that could be an issue in undeveloped subdivisions, adding
that "lot owners" would be more appropriate. Mr. Dowd also
advised that it will be difficult to come up with one clear
method for various functions (street lights, road construction,
stormwater, sidewalks, etc.).
Mr. Windes asked Mr. Dowd if he agrees the policy is a "living
document" which can be amended as necessary. Mr. Dowd replied,
"Absolutely. It can be revised."
Mr. Hofstad stated the policy can be cleaned up by:
* correcting the typos
* adding a provision of conveyance through easement
* on page 6 regarding costs, clarify that one of the costs is
~% Tax Collector commission or 5% administra tive fee for
collecting agency
* insert that notification is by first-class mail
Mr. Harris amended his motion to include Mr. Hofstad's
recommendations. Mr. Boyles confirmed his second. Mr. Parisot
asked what could happen in the next two weeks. Mr. Harris
commented this is a living document and changes will be made.
Mr. Boyles stated people will be out tomorrow collecting
petitions, saying there is a reason to adopt the policy tonight.
He pointed out this is the first MSBU of this type and it may
require adjustments as we go forward.
The vote was taken- 4 yeas, 1 nay (Mr. Parisot voted no).
FACILITIES MAINTENANCE - AUTHORIZATION TO NEGOTIATE WITH AJAX AS

Mr. Don Turner, Facilities Maintenance Director, stated last
November the Board authorized issuance of a RFP for design-build
services for the Crestview Courthouse Project. The deadline for
submission of proposals was December 5, 2013. He noted the
contractors have been patient waiting for a decision on the
conceptual design for the project. Mr. Turner stated the review
committee met on February 20 and AJAX received the number one
ranking. He asked for staff to be authorized to begin
negotiations with AJAX for this project. Mr. Harris made
motion, seconded by Mr. Amunds, to authorize staff to negotiate

FACILITIES MAINTENANCE - UPDATE BY LORD & SON CONSTRUCTION ON
SHALIMAR ANNEX PROJECT
Mr. Turner stated all projects are moving along normally and
appear to be on track to make deadlines.
Mr. Turner stated representatives from Lord & Son Construction
and DAG Architects are present this evening to update the Board
on design drawings for the Shalimar Annex Project. He said he
will ask for approval of the 35% design drawings after the
presentation.
Mr. Charlie Clary, DAG Architects, reported they have discussed
the drawings with the various tenants/departments and have been
working with Mark Siner of Choctaw Engineering. He said the
drawing on the screen shows 395 parking spaces and the
stormwater retention areas. Mr. Clary stated the plan is for
county employees to park in the rear of the building and public
parking will be in the front. In addition to the materials in
the agenda packet, Mr. Clary distributed the following pages:
Parking Analysis and Programming Comparison . The Parking
Analysis identified the number of employees for each tenant, the
number of staff parking spaces, and the number of public parking
spaces for each tenant. The Programming Comparison showed the
existing square footage for each tenant and the proposed square
footage. Existing square footage is 44,418 square feet and
proposed is 51,418 square feet. Current common areas are 61,340
square feet and proposed are 63,042 square feet.
Upon inquiry by Mr. Parisot, Mr. Clary stated the proposed
square footage for the Tax Collector is 12,288.
Mr. Boyles posed questions on the parking analysis. Mr. Clary
replied the facility is within the city limits of Shalimar but
the city's parking requirements are less stringent than the
county's. He said this will result in "surplus" parking spaces .
Mr. Clary continued his review of the drawings, pointing out the
areas set aside for the County Attorney and County
Administrator. He spoke about growth space and stated the Board
Meeting Room is much larger and has flex space built in.
Mr. Parisot asked why the Property Appraiser's and Tax
Collector's Offices have private bathrooms. Mr. Clary answered
they felt their staff needed to be closer to the office because
of their interaction with the public. Mr. Parisot responded,
March 4, 2014 - 15 - Minute Book 70, Page 277
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 88
"Yes, but the Tax Collector wants six bathrooms and the Tax
Collector wants a private one in his office." Mr. Clary said
that was the charge received from the working group. Mr. Amunds
stated he is the Board's liaison to the working group. He
explained the Tax Collector has more ladies in his office than
men and that was the reasoning for the bathrooms.
Mr. Harris remarked both of these offices, Tax Collector and
Property Appra i ser, have a greater volume of public activities
than other offices.
Mr. Parisot said he does not think the taxpayers should pay for
any private bathrooms.
Mr. Amunds explained they tried to keep everything consistent
with no big offices and getting as much sign - on by the
Constitutional Officers as possible.
Mr. Amunds asked when a cost estimate will be available. Mr.
Steve Christopher, Lord & Son Construction, explained that while
Mr. Clary and DAG were working on the drawings, Lord & Son has
been working on numbers. He stated they are within 2% of where
they were two years ago on this project, saying they are at
$10,750,000 for the building and another $750,000 for the site
work. Mr. Christopher advised the asbestos survey revealed
asbestos was in the drywall joints in the entire facility. This
means the drywall must be separated during demolition and taken
to a specified dumpster.
Mr. Parisot asked if this is new information from what he heard
yesterday. Mr. Turner said there are statutory regulations to
be followed, noting certain actions are required if the
threshold is 1%. He stated no action is required below 1%. Mr.
Turner said he did not have this information on the materials in
the building yesterday when they spoke. Mr. Parisot stated he
might be wrong but he heard it was less than 1%.
Mr. Clary referred to the layout of the Board Chambers, saying
the room could hold 100 people and will have a specific area set
aside for staff and the media.
Mr. Windes referred to Mr. Clary's reference of the drawings
having 1,500 feet set aside for growth. He asked if that square
footage could be left as white space. Mr. Clary answered in the
affirmative.

Mr. Boyles said he thinks the plan on the conceptual level looks
good and approval of the drawings is an issue separate from a
costs issue. He added that he is anxious for the Crestview
Courthouse project to move forward. Mr. Boyles made motion,
seconded by Mr. Harris, to move forward with the plan as
proposed and to proceed with the next phase of the process. Mr.
Harris remarked he would like to keep the costs under $10
Million.
Mr. Parisot stated that he cannot support moving the county
commissioners out of a county- owned building (reference is Water
& Sewer Administration Building) and then leasing that space
commercially. He said he cannot go for a building of the size
presented today.
Mr. Harris responded the county does not own the Water & Sewer
Administration Building. He said it was constructed with
enterprise funds. Mr. Parisot replied he does not believe that.
Mr. Windes said we are trying to create a governmental center
for the next forty years.
The vote was taken on the motion to approve the 35% drawings and
authorize the design team to begin developing the construction
drawings-4 yeas, 1 nay (Mr. Parisot voted no).
FACILITIES MAINTENANCE - UPDATE ON COSTS FOR DESIGN ASSISTANCE
ON CRESTVIEW COURTHOUSE PROJECT
Mr. Turner reported the work of the design assistant for the
Crestview Courthouse Project has completed his work. He said
$32,000 was originally appropriated for this work but the final
costs will be less than $16,200.

outlined the four-county area the local Red Cross chapter
covers. Mr. Kennedy thanked the Board for its support.
PUBLIC COMMENTS RELATING TO THE AGENDA
Mrs. Rebecca Sherry, Okaloosa Island, stated she has noticed for
the last several months that Tourist Development Department
(TDD) financial items have been approved by the Board of County
Commissioners but were not on the Tourist Development Council
(TDC) agenda or discussed at a TDC meeting. She said this trend
away from "sunshine" less than three months after the Auditor
General's findings unsettling.
Mrs. Sherry said there are two items on today's agenda which fit
this bill. The first is a TDD i tern regarding cancellation of
the Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) special assessment
for the Western Destin Beach Restoration Project. She stated
March 18, 2014 -2- Minute Book 70, Page 283
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 94
this i tern is on the Board's agenda but it bypassed the TDC.
Mrs. Sherry referred to $700,000 which would then be taken from
the tourist development tax to fulfill the obligation of the
bank note for the Holiday Isle beach restoration project. She
asked why this item is being fast-tracked and then said the
recommendation on how to proceed was by unnamed staff. The
second item is a $15,000 expenditure request for a Pocket Ranger
advertising app which was not "noticed" at TDC. Mrs. Sherry
asked why the big ticket items are bypassing TDC and who made
these decisions.
Mr. David Sherry, Okaloosa Island, said he read where the Board
will consider repeal of the Western Destin MSBU assessment. He
stated for years people from Holiday Isle demanded imposition of
the assessment, as well as including people within the MSBU
boundaries who did not want to be part of it. Mr. Sherry said
he cannot recall anyone from Holiday Isle asking for the MSBU to
be abolished. He read from the agenda request "Staff has been
asked to research the feasibility of repealing the special
assessment which has been levied for the Western Destin Beach
Restoration Project." Mr. Sherry asked a series of questions,
including: Who asked staff to do this work? Has anyone on
Holiday Isle changed their mind and reneged? And, who on
Holiday Isle is pushing to remove the assessment? He said if no
one on Holiday Isle is asking, why is there a proposal to give
away $750,000 in public money? Mr. Sherry felt if someone from
Holiday Isle is asking for the assessment to be cancelled, then
he should get up in public and tell why he wants it repealed.
He noted there is no one here from Holiday Isle asking for this.
Mr. Sherry concluded by asking why the TDC process was bypassed.
PUBLIC HEARING DISCUSSION ON PROPOSAL FOR COUNTY CREWS TO
CONSTRUCT NEWCASTLE AREA WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
Mr. Stanford read the public notice for discussion relating to a
proposal by Okaloosa County Water & Sewer (OCWS) to construct
the Newcastle Area Water System Improvements with in-house staff
and equipment. The estimated cost of the design-build project
using OCWS staff is $450,000.
Mr. Jeff Littrell, Water & Sewer System Director, pointed out
the area on a map for the proposed project. The project will
upgrade existing water lines from two inches to six inches which
will facilitate the installation of new fire hydrants,
increasing fire protection in the area. He detailed the
improvements: 14 new fire hydrants; 10, 500 linear feet of six-

Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 95
inch water main (including eight - inch bores where necessary) ;
2,300 linear feet of existing parallel mains where services need
to be switched over from the old mains, and all associated
appurtenances.
Mr. Littrell reported funding for this project will be
supplemented by a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Disaster Recovery Fund appropriation in the amount of
$252,923.30 available through the Florida Department of Economic
Opportunity. This grant is scheduled to expire on October 25,
2014. He advised that the remainder of the funds will come from
the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Plan. Upon inquiry by
Mr. Pari sot, Mr. Littrell stated they plan to do bores rather
than road cuts to lay lines.
No one came forward to comment on the proposal. Mr. Harris made
motion, seconded by Mr. Parisot, to authorize OCWS to construct
the Newcastle Area Water System Improvement Project, using OCWS
staff and equipment, as supplemented and in accordance with
county ordinances and State Statutes. 5 yeas.

TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - REVISED STRATEGIC MARKETING PLAN
Mr. Ed Schroeder, Tourist Development Department (TDD) Director,
stated any changes to the Strategic Marketing Plan must be
presented to the Board for approval in the form of a resolution .
He explained the Board approved a $2.6 Million Strategic
Marketing Plan in November 2013; however, the department's
adopted budget for promotional activities totals $3.5 Million.
He said the $900,000 difference is attributable to $534,000 in
marketing activities performed in - house by TDD staff and
$375,000 in special event and sponsorship funding.
Mr. Schroeder said in the existing $2.6 Million plan, they are
going to re-allocate some marketing funds which could be better
used in leisure marketing events. Secondly, there is a proposal
to create an In-House Marketing Commission. And, he said the
third item concerns special event sponsorship funding. Mr.
Schroeder spoke briefly about a category identified as "last
minute deals."
Mr. Parisot commented he has been in favor of the in-house
marketing/advertising concept for a long time. It was his
belief it could be done in - house at a lower cost than what the
consultants charge. Mr. Pari sot referred to the section on
entertainment expenses/meals for meetings and urged caution,
suggesting it be limited to the current per diem and meal
allocations. Mr. Schroeder responded that he totally agrees.
Mr. Boyles stated he appreciates Mr. Schroeder "walking the
halls" to discuss this item before the meeting but he is
struggling to get a level of comfort and confidence regarding
the use of TDC funds. He said it is difficult to grasp and it
is important for the Tourist Development Council (TDC) to
review. Upon inquiry by Mr. Boyles, Mr. Schroeder verified the
TDC has reviewed and recommended approval of the in-house
marketing plan at the proposed expenditure levels.
Mr. Boyles said he understands the Film Commission is a one -
person operation and he would like to learn more about this
process. He requested the contractor (Ms. Gail Morgan) come to
a meeting to introduce herself, talk about the successes and the
weaknesses, and help him and the public understand what she does
for $67,000 a year. Mr. Schroeder welcomed that opportunity.

RESOLUTION NO. 14 - 69
TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - PETER MAYER ADVERTISING TASK ORDER NO. 132
Mr. Schroeder presented Peter Mayer Advertising Task Order
No. 132 in the amount of $107, 114 for consideration. This task
order is for the production and execution of two new 30 - second
and two new 15 - second television spots. He stated the TDC
recommended approval of this task order for the "Brand Campaign
Television Spots" at its February 27, 2014 meeting.
Upon inquiry by Mr. Amunds, Mr. Schroeder told how verification
will be done on running the television spots. He added that a
Destin Fishing Rodeo spot will be added to the rotation.
Mr. Amunds made motion, seconded by Mr. Parisot, to approve Task
Order #132 with Peter Mayer Advertising. 5 yeas.
TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - FY 2013 FOURTH QUARTER EXPENDITURE REPORT
Mr. Schroeder termed this agenda item and the next one to be of
a housekeeping nature. He said last October the Fiscal Year
2013 fourth quarter expenditure report for tourist development
taxes should have been presented to the Board but was not,
perhaps, because of the change in TDD leadership. Mr. Boyles
made motion, seconded by Mr. Pari sot, to approve this report.
5 yeas.
TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - TOURIST DEVELOPMENT TAX FINANCIAL UPDATE
Mr. Schroeder presented the financial update for the first
quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 - 14. He pointed out the new format
of the report was discussed by the TDC and the report was
approved on February 27, 2014. Mr. Boyles made motion, seconded
by Mr. Pari sot, to approve the report. Mr. Pari sot stated he
would like for the Urban Corridor Grant to be moved to the
Growth Management Department in the future. Mr. Windes remarked
the Board can review that suggestion. 5 yeas.
TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - REALLOCATION OF FIRST PERCENTAGE RESERVES
Mr. Schroeder stated the Western Destin Beach Restoration
Project was not budgeted in Fiscal Year 2014 and the Fiscal Year
2013 available balance of $562,103 was carried forward. He
March 18, 2014 -9 - Minute Book 70, Page 290

asked for these remaining funds to be transferred from the 1175 -
59910 Reserves Account to the 1175 - 581702 Project Expenditures
Account in order to complete the project. Mr. Schroeder stated
the TDC approved this item at its February 27, 2014 meeting.
Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Boyles, to approve the
department head's recommendation. 5 yeas.
TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - POCKET RANGER APP
Mr. Schroeder stated the department has been presented with an
extraordinary opportunity. He explained the Emerald Coast can
be showcased as the signature beach in the Pocket Ranger app for
the State of Florida at an annual cost of $15,000. Mr.
Schroeder said this marketing opportunity is not part of the
original marketing plan but can be considered with the
amendments passed earlier in the meeting.
Mr. Amunds posed questions about advance payments, referring to
the Auditor General's Report. It was his understanding a
discounted payment could be made in advance, noting payment
would not be made until the app was up and live. Mr. Schroeder
replied he is not sure if that applies to this type of
advertising. Mr. Harris pointed out Mr. Schroeder was not here
when the Auditor General's Office dinged us and said we must pay
after the fact.
Mr. Boyles commented that a discounted rate is not the issue for
him but he would like to come to grips with the process. He
said an "unanticipated activity" does not mean we bypass the
TDC. Mr. Boyles stated he regrets this is a time-sensitive
item, reiterating that he is not comfortable with signing off on
this item without review and comment from the TDC.
Mr. Schroeder said the revised Strategic Marketing Plan places a
limit on expenditures of $35,000 or less. He commented that he
and the County Administrator would approve any of these type
expenditures ("last minute deals"). Mr. Schroeder stated
anything above the $35,000 limit would go before the TDC first.
He advised expenditures falling in this category would be
referred to the TDC at the following meeting. Mr. Boyles asked
what will happen if the TDC does not recommend approval at that
time. Mr. Schroeder said they will present it to the TDC
Chairman before he and Mr. Padgett sign off on it. He added if
the TDC thinks it is a bad idea, they probably would not go
forward with it.
March 18, 2014 - 10 - Minute Book 70, Page 291

Mr. Parisot said it is basically an advertising package which
would cost $40,000 and we could get it for $15,000. He also
commented provision was made for this type situation in the
revised marketing plan. Mr. Pari sot asked if the TDC reviews
every line item of the marketing plan or approves it as a large
package. Mr. Schroeder replied it is presented in detail and
approved as a package. Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr.
Amunds, to approve participation in the Florida State Parks
Pocket Ranger app. 4 yeas, 1 nay. (Mr. Boyles voted no.)
TOURIST DEVELOPMENT - ADVERTISE PUBLIC HEARING TO REPEAL BEACH
RESTORATION MSBU
Mr. Schroeder requested approval to advertise for a public
hearing to repeal the Beach Restoration Municipal Services
Benefit Unit (MSBU) . He said staff has worked with First
Southwest (financial consultant) and the legal team to determine
the willingness of Hancock Bank to release the pledge of the
special assessment. (The MSBU assessments and first penny of
the Tourist Development Tax were pledged for the repayment of
the bank note.) Mr. Schroeder advised a letter has been
received from Hancock Bank relinquishing its rights to the
pledge of the "Special Assessment Revenues." He asked for
authorization for staff to advertise for public hearing to
repeal Ordinance No. 07 - 57 which established this MSBU.
Mr. Amunds stated this has been a heated issue for a long time.
He noted the Board previously discussed sunsetting the
assessment before the requisite eight years, if possible. Upon
inquiry by Mr. Amunds, Mr. Dowd confirmed this to be true.
Mr. Harris asked who directed staff to research this item. Mr.
Schroeder replied "a county commissioner." Mr. Boyles pointed
out that was in an open meeting. Mr. Harris asked if the
residents of Holiday Isle have been notified of this proposal.
Mr. Schroeder answered that he has not notified them. Mr. Dowd
said the hearing will be advertised.
Mr. Windes stated when he ran for the office of county
commissioner one of the planks in his campaign was abolishing
this assessment. Upon inquiry by Mr. Windes, Mr. Schroeder said
the proposal will be taken before the TDC on March 27.
Mr. Parisot commented he brought up this proposal previously and
it was decided last fall to bring the issue back up in the
spring. He said although he was not a commissioner at the time
March 18, 2014 - 11 - Minute Book 70, Page 292
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 103
the ordinance was adopted, he recalls the discussion was to
first use state funds; secondly, to use bed tax dollars; and
lastly, to use the MSBU assessment revenues. Mr. Pari sot said
he supports this measure but there are other issues to be
discussed. He stated in January 2012 the Board rescinded the
assessment for Okaloosa Island and refunded monies. Mr. Parisot
said he feels the Board should address the issue of refunding
all or a portion of the MSBU funds. He then gave a history of
the MSBU boundaries.
Mr. Amunds referred to his conversation with the condo alliance
when he originally brought this item forward for discussion. He
said he supports stopping the assessment but not a big push to
give the money back.
Mr. Boyles asked how this concept is different from the MSBU
policy for paving private roads the county recently adopted. He
said citizens must pitch in. Mr. Amunds said he believes
eventually bed taxes could be set aside strictly for beach
restoration. He also believed the federal government will
allocate money for dredging the East Pass. Mr. Amunds noted
when the discussion took place for beach restoration, the county
had gone through a hurricane and implementing the MSBU for beach
restoration was the only way to go. He reiterated his desire to
sunset the assessment.
Mr. Parisot stated a full penny of tourist development tax was
carved out for beach restoration at the same time the MSBU was
established. He said the MSBU was set up because there was no
funding source for the bonds.
Mr. Boyles stated this information is helpful and asked if there
is a way to continue with the dedication of that penny for beach
restoration, to accrue those revenues into a reserve account so
we don't have to scramble quickly if there is an extreme weather
event. Mr. Schroeder replied there is no limitation, advising

$615,116.48 and would be paid with E 9 - 1 - 1 Reserve funds. This
is a sole source purchase due to the fact Century Link currently
holds the E 9-1 - 1 maintenance contract and is the only vendor

department provides a different, beneficial perspective. He
suggested this be considered for formation of future committees.
Upon inquiry by Mr. Pari sot, Mr. Harman stated currently the
work was being done by an entity the airlines worked with but
that company has left. Mr. Parisot commented that he will be
glad to sit on this selection committee.

network.
March 18, 2014 -14- Minute Book 70, Page 295
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 106
Mr. Vanderhoek stated the necessity to increase bandwidth for
increasing telephone and data communication needs was the
impetus for the Fiber Optic Network. The county, by statutory
and constitutional requirements, must pay for communications for
court-related entities. He said the Fiber Optic Network was a
strategic investment to save money, increase the level of
service, and meet future needs.
Mr. Vanderhoek's presentation explained bandwidths and the
savings realized on telephone and data services. He stated this
Fiber Optic Network is a county-owned and operated utility. Mr.
Vanderhoek provided a map showing the existing and planned fiber
routes. He detailed operation of the North and South Head End
Facilities and how data traffic is beamed across the backbone
fiber to its destination.
Mr. Sambenedetto described how the Fiber Optic Network is
maintained, stressing the importance of protecting and
maintaining this utility. He said because the fiber is in the
right - of -way, utility locates are a big part of what they do.
Mr. Sambenedetto stated the GIS staff provides positive response
on every Sunshine One Call ticket. Highly accurate network maps
are maintained which is critical to accurately and timely
utility locates, save time in network re - routing if required due
to outage, and assists in plan review and design.
Mr. Sambenedetto reviewed the importance of accurate splice
diagrams when the fiber is damaged. He also cited examples of
repair costs when the fiber is pinched or cut by contractors
during ro~d construction.
Continuing, Mr. Sambenedetto listed benefits from the investment
in the Fiber Optic Network:
• Significant cost savings on reoccurring data and
communication charges
• Dramatically increased bandwidths at a much lower cost
• Brought on Constitutional Officers and others to help
reduce BCC costs
• Brought on partners to help offset the infrastructure and
maintenance costs
• Allows room to expand by utilizing additional fiber
available on existing routes
He also named potential partners, as well as providing an
extensive list of current fiber optic - related projects.

March 18, 2014 - 16 - Minute Book 70, Page 297
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Packet Pg. 108
Sergeant Raiche reported teen drivers between the ages of 15 and
19 are three times more likely to be involved in a crash. The
fatality rate for teens is high and the potential for crashes
increases dramatically when the driver is distracted.
The first teen driver challenge program began in May 2011 and
since that time there have been 337 teens to receive training in
the program. Sergeant Raiche stated this is a one-on-one
training program, pointing out there are 49 deputies certified
as instructors. He announced the Okaloosa County program has
been recognized and recommended as a training program for other
entities initiating this program. Sergeant Raiche said 31
deputies from other counties have been trained as instructors by
Okaloosa County. He briefly spoke about the mobile unit, an
interactive simulator and videos for YouTube and other social
media.
Upon inquiry by Mr. Pari sot, Major Peacock stated the program
offered in the public school system is a basic curriculum on the
rules of the road and the Teen Driver Challenge administered by
the Sheriff's Office is an advanced class in a real world
scenario.

EXECUTIVE SESSION - PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Mr. Greg Stewart, Special Counsel with Nabor, Giblin &
Nickerson, stated an Executive Session was held this morning to
discuss a proposed settlement with regard to the Sandman LLC vs
Don Am unds , et al litigation. He advised the proposed
settlement agreement is subject to court ratification and giving
a long - term contract for beach cleaning to Sandman which will
then dismiss the case with prejudice.
Mr. Boyles made motion, seconded by Mr. Harris, to approve the
settlement agreement as proposed by the plaintiff. Mr. Parisot
stated he will vote against the motion because it violates the
Purchasing Policy. He said the last action of the Board in
October was to reject all bids and to re - bid. Mr. Harris
remarked that he is torn between what Mr. Parisot has said and
feeling strongly that we should bite the bullet and move on.
Mr. Amunds said he cannot support the action at this time and
referred to the county policy. He said if the Board wants to
make modifications to the policy, he would consider the
settlement at that point. The vote was taken- 2 yeas, 3 nays.
(Mr. Parisot, Mr. Amunds, and Mr. Windes voted no. ) Motion
fails for lack of a majority vote.
Mr. Stewart referred to the Boards action taken on February 18,
2014, and asked for clarification on that motion. He asked if
the intent of the motion was to allow legal counsel to resolve
the issue with Sandman in conformity with policy. Mr. Pari sot
replied that was his understanding and made motion, seconded by
Mr. Amunds, that to the extent there is any ambiguity of the
motion of February 18, 2014, the intent relating to this
settlement is for the counsel for the county to work with
Sandman's counsel in conformity with policy. Mr. Boyles pointed
out he was the mover of that motion and it is his belief the
motion of that meeting is captioned and contained in the
proposed settlement agreement. The vote was taken- 3 yeas, 2
nays. (Mr. Boyles and Mr. Harris voted no.)

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Kay Godwin
SUBJECT: Kelly Services Contract Amendment
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval to amend the current contract with Kelly Services,
temporary staffing agency.
BACKGROUND: The original contract does not include a Motor Vehicle Release and
Indemnification Form for temporary employees, assigned by Kelly Services, to operate County
owned motor vehicles. The amendment will enable temporary employees, assigned by Kelly
Services, to operate a County motor vehicle during the course of their assignment if needed.
Also included is an updated rate sheet. The changes include: 1) reduction in the cost for Criminal
County Felony & Misdemeanor checks from $9.11 to $6.96; 2) addition of the cost associated
with running driving record history checks as a result of the included contract modification and
as required by County policy; and 3) adding language to allow for the payment of the varying
administrative fees associated with running Criminal County Felony & Misdemeanor checks.
The current contract states that the administrative fee associated with the Criminal County
Felony & Misdemeanor checks will vary from county to county. With over 3,000 counties
nationwide, it is practically impossible to determine the administrative fee associated with each
and provide that documentation for approval. Under the current contract, the Clerk of Court will
not pay for these administrative fees because they are not specifically listed within the contract
language. The updated language is intended to request approval to pay the varying administrative
fees incurred by Kelly Services that are then passed on to the County. These administrative fees
for Criminal County Felony & Misdemeanor checks are not to exceed $25.00 per name and per
county.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff is requesting Board authorization to amend the Kelly Services
contract by adding the motor vehicle driver release and indemnification and the revised schedule
of rates to the current Kelley Services contract. Staff is also requesting Board approval to pay the
varying administrative fees incurred by Kelly Services to complete Criminal County Felony &
Misdemeanor checks in an amount not to exceed $25.00 per name and per county, in addition to
the costs to run driving record history checks, drug screens and sex offender registry checks.

DEPARTMENT: Information Systems
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board is requested to approve payment of Gator Boring &
Trenching, Inc. Invoice #5376 in the amount of $10,423.00.
BACKGROUND: Gator Boring & Trenching, Inc. Task Order 2 on Contract C14-2094-WS
was approved in the amount of $8,923.00 for directional boring. Before the task order was
written, work efforts were coordinated between County departments for hand trenching within
the fenced area of the work location. However, when the work was to commence the planned
labor force was not available. With limited Information Systems staff and lack of other
resources, and in order to stay on time with this fiber optic project, the work proceeded with
Gator Boring digging the trench by hand, which resulted in the invoice exceeding the task order
amount of $8,923.00 by $1,500.00. It should be noted that this was not an emergency purchase
and, therefore, the Purchasing Policy guidelines for such a purchase were not applicable.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove

SUBJECT: State Aid to Libraries Grant Amendment
DEPARTMENT: Library Cooperative
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Okaloosa County Public Library Cooperative (OCPLC) wishes to
notify the Board that the Department of State requires an amendment to execute the approved FY2013-
2014 State Aid to Libraries Grant to OCPLC.
BACKGROUND: The amendment adds minor language to specify a "deliverable" and to include a
project invoice to receive the grant. This change is due to new requirements by the federal government.
State Aid to Libraries grants come from federal LSTA funds provided to the State. The "deliverable" is
that the Cooperative has at least one library location open a minimum of 40 hours per week. Every library
in the Cooperative is open more than 40 hours per week. This was already documented to the State in the
OCPLC annual report of December 2013 that the State Library considers "Part 2" of the State Aid
application process. Commissioner Boyles, as chair of the OCPLC governing board, is the required
official signature for the amendment. The Cooperative Coordinator is approved by the State Library as a
signing official for the project invoice.
The State Aid amount for FY 2013-2014 is $94,700. Due to the delay precipitated by requiring this
amendment of every grant recipient, all funds will be provided in a single payment rather than two
payments as has been done in the past. State Aid is a continuing state grant authorized by Chapter 257,
Florida Statute.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Board review the amendment to the executed State Aid
Library Grant agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of , by and between the STATE
OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, an agency of the State of Florida, hereinafter called the
Department, and Okaloosa County B.O.C.C. hereinafter called the Agency.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Agency has the authority to enter into this Agreement and to undertake the project hereinafter described,
and the Department has been granted the authority to function adequately in all areas of appropriate jurisdiction including
the implementation of an integrated and balanced transportation system and is authorized under Section 339.12, Florida
Statutes, to enter into this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and representations herein, the parties agree as
follows:
1.00 Purpose of Agreement: The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the Department’s participation in the
design of sidewalk along CR 4 Antioch Road. and as further described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this reference
made a part hereof, hereinafter called the “project,” and to provide Department financial assistance to the Agency and
state the terms and conditions upon which such assistance will be provided and the understandings as to the manner in
which the project will be undertaken and completed.
1.01 Attachments: Exhibit(s) A,B,C, & 1 are attached and made a part hereof.
2.01 General Requirements: The Agency shall complete the project as described in Exhibit "A" with all practical
dispatch, in a sound, economical, and efficient manner, and in accordance with the provisions herein, and all applicable
laws. The project will be performed in accordance with all applicable Department procedures, guidelines, manuals,
standards, and directives as described in the Department's Local Agency Program Manual, which by this reference is
made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. Time is of the essence as to each and every obligation under this
Agreement.
A full time employee of the Agency, qualified to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent
with the terms, conditions, and specifications of this Agreement shall be in charge of each project.
Inactivity and Removal of Any Unbilled Funds
Once the Department issues a Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the Project, the Agency shall be obligated to submit an invoice
or other request for reimbursement to the Department for all work completed for the Project no less frequently than on a
quarterly basis, beginning from the day the NTP is issued. If the Agency fails to submit quarterly (or more frequently than
quarterly) invoices to the Department as required herein and in the event said failure to timely submit invoices to the
Department results in FHWA removing any unbilled funding or in the loss of State appropriation authority (which may
include the loss of state and Federal funds, if there are state funds programmed to the Project), then the Agency will be
solely responsible to provide all funds necessary to complete the Project and the Department will not be obligated to
provide any additional funding for the Project. The Agency waives the right to contest such removal of funds by the
Department, if the removal is related to FHWA’s withdrawal of funds or if the removal is related to the loss of State
appropriation authority. In addition to the loss of funding for the Project, the Department will also consider the de-
certification of the Agency for future LAP projects.

2.02 Expiration of Agreement: The Agency agrees to complete the project on or before June 30, 2015. If the Agency
does not complete the project within this time period, this Agreement will expire on the last day of the scheduled
completion as provided in this paragraph unless an extension of the time period is requested by the Agency and granted
in writing by the Department prior to the expiration of this Agreement. Expiration of this Agreement will be considered

reimbursed by the Department.

or other proceeding or authorization is requisite under applicable law to enable the Agency to enter into this Agreement or

c) Approval of all plans, specifications, contracts or other obligating documents and all other terms of this
Agreement; and

"(a) The Department, during any fiscal year, shall not expend money, incur any liability, or enter into any
contract which, by its terms, involves the expenditure of money in excess of the amounts budgeted as
available for expenditure during such fiscal year. Any contract, verbal or written, made in violation of this
subsection is null and void, and no money may be paid on such contract. The Department shall require a
statement from the comptroller of the Department that funds are available prior to entering into any such
contract or other binding commitment of funds. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the making of
contracts for periods exceeding 1 year, but any contract so made shall be executory only for the value of
the services to be rendered or agreed to be paid for in succeeding fiscal years, and this paragraph shall
be incorporated verbatim in all contracts of the Department which are for an amount in excess of $25,000
and which have a term for a period of more than 1 year."
3.06 Notice-to-Proceed: No cost may be incurred under this Agreement until the Agency has received a written Notice-
to-Proceed (NTP) from the Department. The Agency agrees to advertise or put the project out to bid thirty (30) days from
the date the Department issues the NTP to advertise the project. If the Agency is not able to meet the scheduled

3.07 Limits on Federal Participation: Federal-aid funds shall not participate in any cost which is not incurred in
conformity with applicable Federal and State laws, the regulations in 23 Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) and 49
C.F.R., and policies and procedures prescribed by the Division Administrator of FHWA. Federal funds shall not be paid
on account of any cost incurred prior to authorization by the FHWA to the Department to proceed with the project or part
thereof involving such cost (23 C.F.R. 1.9 (a)). If FHWA or the Department determines that any amount claimed is not
eligible, federal participation may be approved in the amount determined to be adequately supported and the Department
shall notify the Agency in writing citing the reasons why items and amounts are not eligible for federal participation.
Where correctable non-compliance with provisions of law or FHWA requirements exists, Federal funds may be withheld
until compliance is obtained. Where non-compliance is not correctable, FHWA or the Department may deny participation
in parcel or project costs in part or in total.

funding shall be prepared by the Agency and approved by the Department. The Agency shall maintain said schedule of
funding, carry out the project, and shall incur obligations against and make disbursements of project funds only in
conformity with the latest approved schedule of funding for the project. The schedule of funding may be revised by mutual
written agreement between the Department and the Agency. If revised, a copy of the revision should be forwarded to the
Department's Comptroller and to the Department's Federal-aid Program Office. No increase or decrease shall be
effective unless it complies with fund participation requirements of this Agreement and is approved by the Department’s
Comptroller.
5.00 Records:

Agreement shall be maintained and made available upon request to the Department at all times during the period of this

SINGLE AUDIT ACT
Federal Resources Awarded to the Recipient Pursuant to This Agreement Consist of the Following:
Federal Agency: Federal Highway Administration
CFDA #: 20.205 Highway Planning and Construction
Amount: FPID 433571-1-38-01 ………..………………………………………………$99,107.00
Compliance Requirement:
Allowable Activities: To be eligible, most projects must be located on public roads that are not functionally classified as
local. The major exceptions are the Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program, which provides assistance
for bridges on and off the federal-aid highways, highway safety activities, bicycle and pedestrian projects, transportation
enhancement activities, the recreational trails program, and planning, research, development, and technology transfer.
Proposed projects meeting these and other planning, design, environmental, safety, etc., requirements can be approved
on the basis of state and local priorities within the limit of the funds apportioned or allocated to each state.
Allowable Costs: Eligible activities and allowable costs will be determined in accordance with Title 23 and Title 49
C.F.R. and the OMB cost principles applicable to the recipient/sub-recipient.
Eligibility: By law, the federal-aid highway program is a federally assisted state program that requires each state to have
a suitably equipped and organized transportation department. Therefore, most projects are administered by or through
State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs). Projects to be funded under the federal-aid highway program are
generally selected by state DOTs or Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), in cooperation with appropriate local
officials, as specified in 23 U.S.C. and implementing regulations. Territorial highway projects are funded in the same
manner as other federal-aid highway projects, with the territorial transportation agency functioning in a manner similar to a
state DOT. Most Florida Land Highway Program (FLHP) projects are administered by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Office of Federal Lands Highway and its Divisions or by the various Florida Land Management Agencies
(FLMAs). Under the FLHP, projects in the Indian Reservation Road (IRR) Program are selected by Tribal Governments
and are approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the FHWA. Due to recent legislation, Tribal Governments
meeting certain requirements may now administer various IRR projects on behalf of the BIA and FHWA. The Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Park Service (NPS) select projects in the Refuge Road and Park Roads and
Parkways Programs, respectively. For the Forest Highway Program, the Forest Service, the States and the FHWA jointly
select projects.
Compliance Requirements Applicable to the Federal Resources Awarded Pursuant to This Agreement Are As
Follows: The recipient of Local Agency Program (LAP) funding must comply with the statutory requirements in Sections
112.061, 215.422, 339.12, and 339.135, Florida Statutes, and Title 23 and Title 49, C.F.R.

SUBJECT: Visitors Guide RFQ & Review Committee
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for
the design and production of the 2014-2015 Visitors Guide and appoint the following members
of the review committee: Tourist Development Department Director, Research and Development
Manager, Marketing Manager, and a member of the Tourist Development Council (or a member
of the Board of County Commissioners if so desired). The Purchasing Department will
coordinate the process and serve as a facilitator for meetings of the review committee.
BACKGROUND: The Tourist Development Department’s ad agency issued a Request for

drew three responses. The way in which the RFP was issued may not have been in compliance
with County policy controls.
Staff would like to issue an RFQ for the design and production of the 2014-2015 Visitors Guide
in accordance with the County’s purchasing policy. The TDD will issue a letter to current
advertisers informing them the process has been delayed, and they may plan to participate with
ad pricing offered at a similar rate.
The Tourist Development Council unanimously approved County Purchasing coordination of the
2014-2015 Visitors Guide at its February 27, 2014 meeting.

SUBJECT: Use of Last Minute Deals Funding
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: TDD is apprising the Board of the use of Last Minute Deals
funding.
BACKGROUND: The Board approved the revised Ad Agency Strategic Marketing Plan on
March 18, 2014, which included a category for Last Minute Deals in the amount of $18,813. To
the greatest extent possible, such opportunities will be presented to the TDC for recommendation
to the BCC for approval in advance. However, these funds are available for appropriation by the
Tourist Development Director with concurrence of the TDC Chairman and County
Administrator if a time-sensitive opportunity would be lost due to the timing of regular TDC and
BCC meetings required to obtain advance approval. Total cost of the opportunity must be less
than $35,000 and County Administrator approval is required regardless of dollar amount.
Task Order 136 titled Last Minute Deals is for advertisement placements, specifically Visit
Florida Meeting Magazine designed to target meeting planners and online keyword advertising
designed to target leisure travelers nationally. These ads will run from April 2014 - June 2014.
The deadline for the Visit Florida magazine is April 10. Although there is no specific deadline
for the keyword ads, it is important to capitalize on the time period of when travelers are booking
summer travel, which is now.
The task order has been approved by the TDD Director, coordinated with the TDC Chairman,
and approved by the County Administrator.

SUBJECT: REPI Phase 4 Agreement between OCWS and the Air Force
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: 1
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Staff requests that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the "Cooperative Agreement" between the
County and the United States of America acting by and through the Secretary of the Air Force.
This is a $200,000 Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI) grant to go
towards land acquisition of a Shoal River buffer, which benefits both the Air Force (Duke Field
flight path) and Okaloosa County (watershed protection for future water supply). The
Cooperative Agreement also consolidates this new REPI grant with three previous REPI
agreements
BACKGROUND: The attached agreement is indirectly related to future water supply planning
for Okaloosa County. This agreement further formalizes the partnership between the County and
Eglin AFB. Both entities have the same objective of being protective of the environment,
specifically north of Duke Field and south of Interstate 10. Because of Duke Field’s flight path,
Eglin would like to limit development in this area and create a natural buffer. Specifically, sound
attenuation is an issue that would affect the public, and light pollution is an issue that would
affect the various military missions at Duke Field. This buffer area is in the same vicinity that the
Board and OCWS have been committed to utilizing for future water supply. We are currently at
the land acquisition stage in order to secure land to be used for an offline reservoir, water
treatment plant, wetlands mitigation, and associated infrastructure such as pipelines, pump
stations, an intake structure, and the needed utilities. The REPI grant funds cannot be used for
acquisition of land for the offline reservoir. Other grant funds will be used for the reservoir
property. The benefit to the County is that the land acquired with these REPI funds can be used
for expanded watershed protection for future water supply, as well as additional acreage for
wetlands mitigation, access, and utilities.
In August 2011, the BCC approved and executed the first Readiness and Environmental
Protection Initiative (REPI) for $500,000. In January 2012, the BCC approved and executed
another REPI Agreement for $200,000. In January 2013, the BCC approved and executed the
third REPI Agreement for $200,000. The current agreement under consideration is for further
Air Force REPI money in the amount of $200,000 to be used for a land purchase for buffering
and environmental conservation in the same Shoal River vicinity as mentioned above (see
Exhibit B). Okaloosa County’s “match” is another $200,000 Defense Infrastructure Grant
(DIG), which has recently been awarded and is expected to go to BCC for approval in the next 1-
2 months.
The three previous REPI agreements were each titled "Agreement for a Deed of Easement". The
Packet Pg. 260
Air Force views these as individual purchase agreements; they now desire to consolidate and
replace these three agreements into one new agreement, titled a "Cooperative Agreement". This
Cooperative Agreement also makes another $200,000 of REPI funding available; the total of all
REPI funding is now $1,100,000.
The Agreement is attached, along with the County Contract Review Coordination Sheet and the
following exhibits:
Exhibit A - Legal Description
Exhibit B - Map
Exhibit C - Property Information Sheet (Proposed Acreage)
Exhibit D - Existing Acreage
Exhibit E - Property Information Sheet (Existing Acreage)
Staff also requests that the BCC authorize the Chairman to execute subsequent Cooperative
Agreement related documents and any future modifications related to this Agreement. For
example, the Air Force has requested the County provide written permission for the Air Force to
enter the property already owned by the County; a Restrictive Use Easement on this Existing
Acreage will be utilized as the match for the first $500,000 REPI funding. This letter providing
written permission, along with the County Contract Review Coordination Sheet, is attached for
the Chairman's signature
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends BCC approval for the Chairman to execute the
"Cooperative Agreement" with the Air Force. Staff also requests that the BCC authorize the
Chairman to execute subsequent Cooperative Agreement related documents and any future
modifications related to this Agreement.

ARTICLE I – SCOPE, PURPOSE, AND AUTHORITY
Section 101. General
a. This Cooperative Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between The United States of America
(the “United States”), acting by and through the Secretary of the Air Force (the “Air Force”), and
Okaloosa County, a political subdivision of the State of Florida (the “Eligible Entity”) as defined in
Article VI of this Agreement, for the acquisition of rights, titles, or interests in and to real property for or
on parcels of land in the vicinity of Eglin Air Force Base, Florida (the “Installation”), and contribution by
the Air Force of Federal funds for those acquisitions, all in accordance with the provisions of 10 U.S.C. §
2684a, as amended. The Air Force and the Eligible Entity are sometimes collectively referred to as the
“Parties,” or each may be referred to as a “Party,” in this Agreement.
b. This Agreement, along with Exhibits, includes all terms and conditions relating to the
contribution of funds by the Air Force for the acquisition of Real Property Interests by the Eligible Entity.
The Exhibits are an integral part of this Agreement.
c. The Eligible Entity agrees to transfer to the Air Force a Restrictive Use Easement (the
“Easement”) relating to a portion of the land described in Exhibit A and Exhibit D, depicted in Exhibit
B, and identified on Exhibit C and Exhibit E (the “Easement Area”), and containing approximately
750acres of land, more or less, pending appraisals, negotiation, and other funding opportunities. If the
land actually obtained by easement should not correspond exactly with Exhibit A, the Eligible Entity
must obtain prior written approval of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) and Eglin Air Force
Base. The Easement Area is located within Okaloosa County, Florida. Acquisition priority will be given
to southernmost parcels within the Duke Field Approach Departure Clearance Surface and bordering
Eglin AFB. The Easement restricts the use of property that has been or will be acquired by the Eligible
Entity, conditioned upon the receipt of certain grant funding.
d. The Air Force agrees to make available to the Eligible Entity the following grant amounts
which represent its full and complete contribution toward the cost of the property to be acquired by the
Eligible Entity within the Easement Area, at equal to or below fair market value, plus Allowable
Transaction Costs. The Parties agree to the following matching contributions by the Air Force and the
Eligible Entity:
(1) REPI FY2011 - $500,000 –matching Eligible Entity contribution is conveyance of a
Restrictive Use Easement on a majority of the Existing Acreage (as defined herein)

Infrastructure Grant (DIG)
(3) REPI FY2013 - $200,000 - matching Eligible Entity contribution is a $200,000 DIG
(4) REPI FY2014 - $200,000 - matching Eligible Entity contribution is a $200,000 DIG
(5) Eligible Entity agrees to make such additional financial contribution as is necessary to pay for
the Proposed Acreage (as defined herein).
e. In the event the Eligible Entity fails or refuses to deliver the Easement in accordance with this
Agreement, the Air Force may resort to the remedy of specific performance if permitted by the State of
Florida, or the Air Force may terminate this Agreement. In the event the Air Force fails or refuses to
complete this transaction, the Eligible Entity may terminate this as its sole remedy upon written notice to
the Air Force within five (5) business days of the failure or refusal. In the event of termination as set
1
Packet Pg. 262
forth in this section, the Eligible Entity shall return to the Air Force any of the unspent or not incurred
portion of the grant funds identified in Section 101.d., less one-half of the Allowable Transaction Costs
spent or incurred to date.
f. The Eligible Entity shall not be obligated to perform under this Agreement if, through no act,
omission or fault on its part, and notwithstanding its reasonable best efforts to obtain the same,
governmental funding or private foundation grants that had been committed to it for the purchase of the
Real Property Interest shall be withdrawn, frozen or otherwise not made available to the Eligible Entity to
carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Furthermore, the Eligible Entity’s obligations
for acquiring and conveying the Easement pursuant to this Agreement are conditioned on ( i), the Eligible
Entity obtaining all necessary internal approvals for the acquisition and disposition of interests in a
particular parcel of real property, and (ii), the Eligible Entity being able to acquire the necessary Real
Property Interests from the landowner. In the event these conditions are not met for some or all of the
property which is the subject of this Agreement, the Eligible Entity shall return to the Air Force any of the
unspent or unincurred portion of the grant funds identified in Section 101.d., less one-half of the
Allowable Transaction Costs spent or incurred to date, as directed by the Air Force.
Section 102. Authority.
a. 10 U.S.C. § 2684a, as amended, authorizes the secretary of a military department to enter into
agreements with a state or political subdivision of a state, or a private conservation organization (the
“Eligible Entity”), to limit the use or development of real property in the vicinity of, or ecologically
related to a military installation or military airspace, including, but not limited to, a training or testing
range or Military Training Route (MTR).
b. These agreements are intended to (a) limit development or use of the land that would be
incompatible with the mission of the installation; or (b) preserve habitat on the land compatible with
environmental requirements and which may eliminate or relieve environmental restrictions that could
restrict, impede, or interfere with military training, testing, or operations on or near the Installation.
c. Agreements under this authority must provide for the acquisition by the Eligible Entity (a) of
all right, title, and interest in and to any real property (fee simple), or any lesser estate or interest in the
land (e.g., conservation easement or restrictive use easement) (the Real Property Interest as defined
herein) as may be appropriate, and (b) the sharing by the United States of Acquisition and Allowable
Transaction Costs of acquiring any Real Property Interest, as may be agreed to by the Parties.
d. The Eligible Entity is authorized by its Charter, Code of Ordinances, or State law to perform
and discharge its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the acquisition and
disposition of Real Property Interests, and to preserve and protect conservation values of the land
acquired in perpetuity, and is a county as defined in Florida Statutes.
ARTICLE II – OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
Section 201. General.
a. The Air Force and the Eligible Entity agree to cooperate in limiting development that is
incompatible with the mission of the Installation and to protect open space and agricultural uses around
the Installation by acquiring Real Property Interests in certain lands located in the vicinity of the
Installation or its military airspace, or those which are ecologically related to the installation, in Okaloosa
County, Florida. This Agreement in no way restricts the Air Force or the Eligible Entity from
2
Packet Pg. 263
participating in similar activities with other public or private entities or persons. The parties acknowledge
the Eligible Entity is planning on utilizing the Real Property Interests acquired for various activities
which will not be incompatible with the mission of the Installation nor inconsistent with the protection of
open space and agricultural uses. This Agreement shall in no way restrict the Eligible Entity from
pursuing such uses of the Easement Area including, but not limited to, wetlands mitigation banking,
construction and maintenance of all-weather two lane roads, and utility infrastructure, provided that such
infrastructure shall not be incompatible nor interfere with the mission of the Installation. Any provision of
this Agreement that would hinder or prevent the use of the Existing Acreage for the purposes of wetland
mitigation banking shall be null and void.
b. The Eligible Entity and the Air Force further agree the limitations placed on development or
use of lands around the Installation will serve the interests of the Air Force and the Eligible Entity in a
manner to eliminate or minimize encroachment upon, and provide a protective buffer zone for the
Installation, its mission and operations.
c. Unless otherwise agreed, the Eligible Entity shall convey all of its right, title and interest in and
to any alleys, streets, ways, strips, or gores abutting or adjoining the land that constitutes the Real
Property Interest to the Air Force, in the event the Real Property Interest is acquired by the Air Force
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
d. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Eligible Entity may transfer any portion of the fee
interest acquired under this Agreement or a lesser interest therein to the United States at fair market value
of the Eligible Entity share at the time of acquisition, subject to the Eligible Entity being able to pursue
passive recreational uses of the Real Property Interest, including, but not limited to, construction and
maintenance of all-weather two lane roads, utility infrastructure not incompatible nor inconsistent with
the mission of the installation, and wetland mitigation banking. Any such transfer shall be limited to the
minimum Real Property Interest necessary to ensure the property concerned is developed and used in a
manner consistent with the purposes of 10 U.S.C. § 2684a, as amended.
e. After recordation of the Deed or Easement document by the Eligible Entity, the Eligible Entity
shall take responsibility for long-term monitoring of the Easement Area to verify compliance with the
terms and conditions of the Easement, and to take any necessary enforcement action, as agreed to in
Section 716 hereof. The Air Force will have the right to enforce the terms of the Easement when
appropriate.

Property Interest(s) acquired within the scope of this Agreement according to sound, efficient,
commercial practice, and the terms, conditions, and specifications of this Agreement.

Packet Pg. 264
Section 203. Obligations of the Air Force.
a. The Air Force agrees to contribute sufficient funds to pay its share of Acquisition and
Allowable Transaction Costs incurred in performance of this Agreement according to the terms and
conditions for payment under Article V.
b. Whenever the terms of this Agreement require the coordination, concurrence, or approval by
the Air Force, it will not be unreasonably withheld. Any request by the Eligible Entity for action by the
Air Force shall be considered and acted upon in a timely fashion.
c. The obligations of the Air Force are subject to the availability of Federal funds for purposes of
this Agreement. No provision in this Agreement should be interpreted to require obligation or payment of
funds by the Air Force in violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341, or other applicable
Federal law. Additionally, the performance of the Air Force under this Agreement is contingent upon its
being allocated funds by the Department of Defense under its Readiness and Environmental Protection
Integration (REPI) Program.
Section 204. Acquisition Process.

Easement to the Air Force shall comply with the United States Department of Justice Title Standards and
must be acceptable to the Air Force.
d. The Eligible Entity will ensure the immediate recording in the county land records of any Real
Estate Interest acquired by it. The Air Force will be responsible for the cost of recording any deed of
conveyance or deed of easement subsequently assigned to it by the Eligible Entity. The Eligible Entity

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Public Meeting Request - East County Force Main and Repump Station
Project
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: In accordance with Chapter 255, Public Property and Publicly
Owned Buildings, Florida State Statues (F.S), Section 255.20, Local bids and contracts for public
construction works; specification of state-produced lumber, the BCC must hold a public meeting
to discuss the County’s proposal to construct a new 20 inch diameter force main and a new 4.2
million gallon per day repump station to serve the East County service area using Okaloosa
County Water and Sewer Department (OCWS) staff and equipment. Specifically, the statute
states that a County government may “self-perform” public works projects valued at greater than
$300,000... “When the governing board of the local government, after public notice, conducts a
public meeting under s. 286.011 and finds by a majority vote of the governing board that it is in
the public's best interest to perform the project using its own services, employees, and
equipment.”
BACKGROUND: In April of 2012, OCWS entered into an interlocal agreement with the City
of Niceville and City of Valparaiso to transfer its ownership and treatment capacity at the NVOC
Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. As part of this agreement, OCWS transferred its cost
sharing responsibility of the NVOC facility, upon relocation of all of its flows from the East
County/Bluewater Bay Service Area to the Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility
(APWRF). As part of this relocation, OCWS would need to construct a new sanitary sewer force
main and repump station to convey its flows to the APWRF. The force main and repump station
will convey all wastewater flows from the East County service area to the Eglin Main pump
station being constructed on Eglin AFB Main Base then to the County’s APWRF.
OCWS is proposing to self-perform the construction of the new force main and repump station.
OCWS plans to use OCWS staff and equipment to expedite completion of the project. OCWS
estimates that using their own forces and equipment to construct the project will shorten the
construction schedule and will reduce the project costs over contracting with an outside
construction company. OCWS has estimated the construction project to cost approximately
$4,169,312.14. As stated in the attached Public Notice, a cost breakdown of the project can be
viewed by the public at our office anytime between now and the Public Meeting. The cost
includes material (with fringe/insurance), labor, equipment (with maintenance), and
subcontracted work.
OCWS has reviewed the construction requirements for the project and has determined that we
have the necessary qualifications, labor and available time to complete the project. As presented
earlier, Section 255.20 F.S., Local bids and contracts for public construction works; specification
Packet Pg. 291
of state-produced lumber includes specific requirements for County governments that choose to
construct projects valued at greater than $300,000 using their own forces and equipment.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff requests BCC approval to advertise and hold a public meeting
at the May 20, 2014 BCC meeting to discuss and to vote on approval for OCWS to self-perform
construction on the new force main and repump station for the East County Force Main and
Repump Station Project.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of County
Commissioners of Okaloosa County, Florida, on May 20, 2014 at 9:00 A.M., or
soon thereafter, at the County Commissioners meeting room, Water & Sewer
Annex, 1804 Lewis Turner Blvd., 3rd Floor, Ft. Walton Beach, Florida will hold a
hearing to discuss the County’s proposal to construct the East County Force Main
and Repump Station Project using Okaloosa County Water and Sewer Department
(OCWS) staff and equipment. The public hearing shall constitute the public
meeting as required by section 225.20, Fla. Stat. The purpose of the public meeting
is to consider whether it is in the public’s best interest to perform the project using
the local government’s own services, employees, and equipment. The scope of
work generally consists of the construction of a new 20 inch diameter sewer force
main (totaling approximately 6.7 miles in length) and a new 4.2 million gallon per
day sewer repump station. The estimated cost of the design-build project using
OCWS staff is $4,169,312.14.
ALL INTERESTED PERSONS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND AND BE HEARD
REGARDING THE PUBLIC HEARING.
The proposal and cost estimate breakdown may be inspected by the public at
Okaloosa County Water & Sewer, 1804 Lewis Turner Blvd., 3rd floor, Engineering Office,

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Trailer Mounted By-Pass Pump - Emergency Sole Source Purchase
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: 5
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS staff is requesting BCC approval for an emergency sole
source purchase of a 12" Diesel Powered Trailer Mounted By-Pass Pump to be utilized at Post
Office Lift Station and other lift stations in the long-term future. The sole source form and
documents from a previous bid process are attached for your review.
BACKGROUND: The Post Office Lift Station, located on 37th Street in Niceville, is one of our
oldest and largest lift stations in our entire service area. It pumps approximately 800,000 gallons
per day from the East County Service Area (Bluewater Bay, Lancaster, Raintree, etc.) to the
Niceville Valparaiso Regional Sewer Plant in Niceville. In the modern era, a station of this
magnitude should be built with three or four pumps. Being an old lift station, it was only
designed to have two pumps.
Unfortunately, only one pump is in service - the other aging pump exploded on 3/27/2014. With
a few sewer spills in the past year at this lift station (they were reported properly and the spills
did not get into a body of water or wetlands), we need a reliable solution. Per state regulations,
any public lift station shall have a minimum of 2 pumps in it. We feel that it is not responsible to
operate this lift station with only one pump in operation.
In addition, this lift station will be no longer be needed after Phases 1-5 and 9 are completed of
the East County Master Sewer Plan (attached) - approximately 8 months from now. Instead of
spending over $60,000 for a new pump for Post Office Lift Station, where lead time for the
pump is approximately 6 months, we feel that a better alternative is to purchase a trailer mounted
by-pass pump to be utilized at Post Office Lift Station, in the case of failure of the remaining
pump which is currently in service. In the future, when Post Office Lift Station is eliminated,
this can be used at other lift stations during emergency conditions. With so many large lift
stations aging, the need for a second large horsepower trailer mounted by-pass pump is
increasing.
On Dec. 18, 2012, the BCC approved a bid award of the first large horsepower trailer mounted
by-pass pump to the low bidder meeting specifications - Thompson Pump (Pensacola), in the
amount of $97,750.00. We have since found that pump to be very useful; however, we need it to
be utilized at other lift stations for emergencies, and we can't use it for other emergency needs if
is it sitting stationary at one station (Post Office Lift Station) for a long period of time.
Thompson Pump is willing to provide the same pump in the 2014 model for the same price -
$97,750.00 (see attached quote). Since we have an emergency, time constraints, and since this
has been competitively bid out, staff is recommending the purchase of this second large trailer
Packet Pg. 298
mounted bypass pump from Thompson Pump for $97,750.00. A Sole Source Form requesting
the emergency procurement is attached to this agenda request. With our responsibility and
stewardship to our customers in mind, we feel that this is the best and quickest option from an
environmental and financial perspective.
Should the BCC approve this request and Purchasing issue the subsequent purchase order, the
new trailer mounted bypass pump should be here in approximately 30-45 days. If we were to go
through the process of obtaining quotes or the bid process, the timeline would be extended
anywhere from 1-3 months in order to go through procurement, subsequent BCC agenda
requests, submittals, and final approvals. By issuing an emergency purchase order now, this will
help meet our time constraints - essentially of needing this pump "yesterday". This piece of
equipment is not in the approved Capital Outlay portion of our FY2014 budget. The Water &
Sewer fund has sufficient amounts to pay for this emergency purchase. A budget transfer will be
required and that transfer will be brought before the BCC for approval.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS requests BCC approval to authorize Purchasing to issue an
emergency purchase order to Thompson Pump in the amount of $97,750 for a large (12") diesel
powered trailer mounted by-pass pump per the attached quote.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Layne Christensen Company Change Order #3 for Del Cerro II Well
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: 1
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Approve Change Order #3 of Layne Christensen Company, Inc.’s
Contract # C13-2026-WS, which would add additional scope of work to the construction of the
Del Cerro II Public Water Supply Well.
BACKGROUND: Okaloosa County entered into contract with Layne Christensen Co., Inc. on
April 3, 2013 for the construction of the Del Cerro II Public Water Supply Well in the amount of
$934,895. During the test well construction and testing, it was observed that the water bearing
formation exhibited low yield and sand. Additional pumping and analysis was performed and a
determination was made to continue with the development of the permanent well despite these
obstacles in hopes that despite the low yield, a satisfactory well could be obtained though there
was a real possibility that a gravel pack (filter) and screen or other measures might be required to
abate the sand. The full diameter well has now been completed and test pumping has showed an
improved yield, though the formation still produces sand.
Change Orders #1 and #2 have been executed, for $20,640 and $10,740, respectively. The
change orders are for the extended pumping and unforeseen circumstances with the surface
casing.
To remedy the high sand concentration and allow the well to be developed to produce water of
such quality required by a public water supply well, a gravel pack (filter) and screen is required
and has been recommended by the Contractor with concurrence by the project’s engineer. In
addition to this requirement, realizing the well hydraulic losses that will be caused by the filter
and screen, it is recommended that the capacity of the well be decreased from a minimum of
1,000 gpm to 750 gpm. 750 gpm is a satisfactory capacity for the needs of our system. Further,
because much of the sizing and procurement of the electrical equipment is dependent on the
measured hydraulics of the well which has been delayed due to the unforeseen problems, an
increase in overall project time is requested by the Contractor and concurred by the project’s
engineer. The above items will be accomplished via Change Order #3, which would add an
additional $99,530 in scope of work. The resulting new contract price would then be
$1,065,805.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATION: OCWS requests BCC approval to authorize the Chairman to execute
Change Order #3 with Layne Christensen Company on Contract #C13-2026-WS for the Del
Cerro II Public Water Supply Well, which authorizes the gravel pack and screen at a cost of
Packet Pg. 315
$99,530, increases the total new contract price to $1,065,805, revises the minimum capacity of
the well from 1,000 gpm to 750 gpm, and revises the contract time by adding 153 days to
Substantial Completion and 122 days for Final Completion.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Polyengineering Task Order 115 Revision 2
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: 1
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS staff requests BCC approval of Revision 2 to
Polyengineering Task Order 115 which provides for design, bid preparation and construction
management services for Del Cerro II public water supply well project. OCWS has requested
the services of Polyengineering under Task Order 115 per the terms of Contract #C05-1175-WS.
Revision 2 (attached) adds $27,592.00 in scope of work to the current Task Order amount, for a
new Task Order total of $166,432.00.
BACKGROUND: Polyengineering Task Order 115, for $128,702, was approved by the BCC in
February 2012. Polyengineering’s overall scope of work is to furnish engineering design, bid
documents, and construction phase services for a new public supply well, Del Cerro II. Layne
Christensen Company was the low bidder of the project and is under contract with Okaloosa
County for the construction of this project.
During the construction of the test well, a lower than expected yield was observed and the water
bearing formation was producing sand in sufficient quantities to be of concern. Extensive
discussions and evaluations were made on whether to further pursue or abandon the project; this
additional work was covered in Polyengineering Task Order 115, Revision 1 for $10,138.00.
The economics of abandoning the project were found untenable and despite the problems
observed with the test well, it was believed a permanent well could be developed through several
possible avenues (i.e. gravel pack, above-ground filter, or below-ground filter). The permanent
well has subsequently been drilled and results obtained that prove a gravel pack and screen/filter
will be required. The Contractor has submitted a change order for this work (Change Order #3
on this same BCC Agenda). Because of future maintenance on a gravel packed well, the well
head needs to be housed outside of the on site building to minimize future well rehab costs. For
example, the well may need to be re-chlorinated or acidized about 10 years from now. Since the
well head was originally designed to be inside the building, changes are necessary in the
engineering and architecture plans to move the well head outside of the building.
Moving the water supply well head outside the building will necessitate both a revision to the
previously approved site plan and also the redesign of the building to be in line with an outside
well head configuration. In addition to new architectural drawings, the electrical and mechanical
drawings will also require revision. Also, the Contractor, via his Change Order #3, requests an
additional 4-month time extension. Additional time/costs are allotted within this task order
revision to continue administering the project and provide continued on-site observation. Task
Order 115 Revision 2 adds $27,592.00 in scope of work as outlined above.
Packet Pg. 321
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS requests BCC approval to authorize the Chairman to execute
Polyengineering Task Order 115 Revision 2, adding $27,592.00, for a total not to exceed amount
of $166,432.00 on the Task Order.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jeff Littrell
SUBJECT: Insituform Technologies Contract Renewal & Change Order #2
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Approve Contract Renewal for Contract #C12-1955-WS with
Insituform Technologies for an additional two year period (as permitted by the original contract
language) including the adjustment of bid prices by appropriate CPI increases, also as indicated
in the contract. Concurrently, approve Change Order #2 to add additional scope of work for
rehabilitation of gravity sewer lines in the Garniers Service Area (Phase III of this maintenance
contract). For your review, attached is the Contract Renewal Form which includes Consumer
Price Index (CPI) backup information and Certificate of Insurance, Change Order #2 Form, and
Change Order #2 Breakdown.
BACKGROUND: An annual maintenance contract with a two-year initial contract period for
the rehabilitation of gravity sewer lines was awarded on May 24, 2012. As noted in the preceing
paragraph, the contract language allows for a two year renewal. The initial phase, which
included the rehabilitation of the main transmission lines along Santa Rosa Blvd. on Okaloosa
Island was completed during the summer of 2012. OCWS staff was satisfied with the quality of
work performed on the original phase and added to the contract. The next phase, adding scope
of work with Change Order #1 (for $193,820.00), consisted of pre-rehabilitation cleaning and
CCTV video inspection of an additional 45,000+ LF of gravity sewer previously identified as
problematic, primarily on the Island and in the Ocean City/Wright areas. In addition, two
heavily corroded cast iron pipe lines (one under Eglin Parkway in Shalimar) will be cleaned with
specialty equipment, then relined in this phase. This work is scheduled to begin in April 2014.
Upon completion of the work in Change Order #1, the next phase of the project will be the repair
by either point repair or complete relining of problematic sections of pipe. The costs for the
expected repairs in the area inspected in Change Order #1 will be added to the contract in
Change Order #2 with an amount of $636,408.73. Simultaneously, the contract needs to be
renewed for an additional two years, as outlined in the original contract. The current contract
also allows for CPI increases with the contract renewal. As such, Insituform has requested a
modest CPI increase - per the established CPI the past 2 years (1.7% in 2012 and 1.5% in 2013).
This renewal will "lock in" unit prices through May 24, 2016.
The contract was awarded to Insituform Technologies, LLC. of Chesterfield, MO. in the amount
of $288,383.00 in May 2012. Change Order #1 added $193,820.00 to the original contract, for a
revised contract total of $482,203.00. Change Order #2 will increase the total contract price to
$1,118,611.73. Although this is called a "change order", no changes are being made to the
contract terms and conditions, or unit prices (except for contract sanctioned CPI increases). This
change order simply adds scope/quantities, as was originally intended to be Phase II of this
Packet Pg. 326
mission critical work to address major issues related to aging sanitary sewer collection system
infrastructure.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: OCWS requests BCC approval to authorize the Chairman to execute
the Contract Renewal and Change Order #2 to Contract # C12-1955-WS with Insituform
Technologies LLC, adding $636,408.73 in scope of work for the rehabilitation of gravity sewer
(Phase II of maintenance contract).

Tracy – I had the same confusion about issue 5 in the packet. You might want to simply rephrase it
to request authority of the Board to prepare and bring back to the Board a RFQ relating to the
provisions of the services that complies with CCNA. The language about the dollar amount and
continuing service contract was confusing. This might help the Board understand the request.

Hello Lynn,
1. We are only requesting approval to purchase the 3.07 acres. Purchase contract and deed will
follow to subsequent mtg for approval and chairman's signature. In short, if the BCC denies this 1
item, it terminates the following requests...and the project.
2. I'm not sure what's confusing? Yes, requesting board approval to solicit RFQ's and the
appointment of a Review Committee. Yes, it will be accomplished per the CCNA.
Thank you for your expeditious review. Should the BCC approve all items, we will return with a
land purchase contract and an engineering proposal for the environmental and design (from RFQ
process).
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thanks again,
Tracy

Tracy,
I reviewed the agenda item and attachments relating to the Foy Shaw Industrial Pkwy
connector and I have a couple of concerns.
1) The agenda item requests Board approval for the purchase of and payment
for 3.07 acres of ROW. However, there is no sales/purchase contract nor
form Warranty Deed included in the attachments. These will need to be
presented to the Board before they can grant final approval.
2) Paragraph 5 under the “Background” section of the agenda item is a bit
confusing. Were you seeking direction from the Board as to whether CCNA is
applicable? Or seeking authorization to proceed with an RFQ pursuant to
CCNA?
I will be traveling for the next two days, but you can reach me via email or cell 850-

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Veterans Park Wooden Pedestrian Bridge
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: Two
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Approval to purchase material to rebuild the wooden pedestrian
walk bridge across Memorial Pond located in Veterans Park on Okaloosa Island and additional
material to modify the recently constructed walking trail located on the east side of the property.
BACKGROUND and ANALYSIS: The pedestrian bridge across Memorial Pond has
deteriorated and is need of repair. In the past, the bridge was used as a cart path for patrons of the
old par 3 golf course. The closure of the golf course after Hurricane Ivan left most of the site and
support facilities, including the pedestrian bridge, in disrepair.
The Gulf Coast Marine Life Center has agreed to provide the labor for the repairs to the bridge
with Okaloosa County supplying material. The existing bridge was 8 ft wide and 170 ft long. As
part of the Phase I improvements to Veterans Park, plans call for reconstructing the bridge to its
original width and length.
The bridge, when repaired, will tie into the newly constructed pedestrian walkway on the east
and west side of the pond allowing pedestrians to cross over the pond. A materials cost estimate
has been prepared and the linear foot estimate is $61.73, for a total cost of $10,500.00. Funds for
the materials are available utilizing the existing Facility Lease fees for the two leased parcels
fronting US Hwy 98.
In addition to this project, Public Works staff is in the process of completing the Phase 1 walking
trail through the east end of the Veterans Park property ($26,068 spent to date). As our staff
neared completion of the project, some concerns were raised as to the ability of the path to
accommodate disabled patrons. While staff cannot change the topography of the parcel to meet
ADA construction standards, further hardened improvements can be made to the path to
accommodate disabled patrons. This modification would require decking the recently installed
walking path at a cost of $20,000.
It should be noted that decking the walking path will not ensure full compliance with ADA
standards. However, this would be considered a “reasonable” accommodation given the site
constraints on the property. As stated above, the County cannot secure permits through the State
or US Army Corps of Engineers to alter the topography of the land since it is considered a
protected Coastal Dune system. This alone would make it nearly impossible to meet grading
requirements consistent with ADA standards.
OPTIONS: Approve/disapprove the purchase of materials needed for the pedestrian bridge
Packet Pg. 434
repairs and modifications to the Phase 1 walking trail.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve purchase of materials at an estimated cost of $10,500.00
for the pedestrian bridge across Memorial Pond and $20,000 for modifications to the Phase 1
walking trail on the east end of the property utilizing Facility Lease fee funds.

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: April 15, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: Funding for DAG Contract on SO New Building
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: (FM) Request BCC approval of funding source for the DAG Design
Services Contract for the Sheriff's New Shalimar Building.
BACKGROUND: The Board approved the Design Services Contract with DAG in the amount of
$80,000 for the Sheriff's new Shalimar building at the April 1, 2014 BCC meeting. However, no
funding source was identified at that meeting.
The Board set aside $400,000 for Land Acquisitions in the 301-3160-561100 account. This
account has no current encumbrances; therefore, some or all of the fund may be made available
for current projects.
RECOMMENDATIONS: (FM) The BCC is requested to approve a budget transfer in the
amount of $100,000 from the 301-3160-561100 account to be used to fund the DAG Design
Services Contract for the Sheriff's New Shalimar Building and other incidental engineering
expenditures.

Inmate Data File Overwrite and Deletion: You may select the file upload method that
facility best meets your needs. However, if you switch upload methods at any time, the inmate files
uploaded or entered via the previous method will be overwritten and deleted. Additionally,
Submit once inmate records are uploaded into GMS via the Direct File Upload method, any
subsequent upload deletes and overwrites the previous file in its entirety.

Due Diligence: Applicants are required to certify that they used due diligence in the
GMS Home preparation and submission of their inmate files. For an explanation of this concept, view
applicable sections of the FY 2014 Guidelines or click here:

qualifying inmate records as a single ASCII formatted file directly into GMS. Click here for
information about the required format:
https://www.bja.gov/Funding/14SCAAP Inmate Data Elements.pdf
During the Upload File process, a red flashing bar will appear at the bottom of your screen.
This bar will continue to flash until the inmate file upload is complete. Upon completion, you
will receive an on-screen status report, listing the total number of inmate records and the
number of records that are complete. In addition, the report will provide a detailed list of
inmate records (by file number) that are incomplete or have data format errors and the
nature of the errors. Upon receipt of the on-screen data report, you must either correct the
data errors and upload the file again or submit the file with the errors. You should print the
on-screen report for your records. Warning: Once inmate records are uploaded using this
method, any subsequent upload deletes and overwrites the previous file in its entirety.

Enter Data (Direct Data Entry): This method allows you to manually enter each inmate's
data directly into an online template. This approach is best suited for jurisdictions with
smaller facilities or small criminal alien populations. Drop-down menus are provided for
selecting incarceration dates, date of birth, and country of birth (the complete country names
are listed).
Access to Submitted Files: Once your FY 2014 application is submitted, inmate files are no
longer available for changes or additions. To ensure that the maximum number of inmate
records are considered for payment, please correct any data errors at the time of the file
upload and before the Application is submitted. Requests to reopen submitted applications
are discouraged and may not be honored by BJA.
For Upload File method. please follow these steps:
Step 1: Click on the "Upload File" radio button.
Step 2: Click on the "Upload" box to attach your file. A pop-up window will appear.
Step 3: Click on the "Browse" button in the pop-up window.
Step 4: Find your file name and double-click on it. The file name will appear in the blank
field.
Step 5: Click the save button and a message will appear in the pop-up window, telling you
the status of your upload. Click the "X" in the upper right corner of the pop-up box to close
it. Your inmate file name will now appear next to the upload button on the main page.
Step 6: Click on the "Save Information" button to continue on to the next phase of the
application process.
For Enter Data method. please follow these steps:
Step 1: Click on the "Enter Data" radio button.
Step 2: Click one of the four corresponding boxes. "Add" to add inmate data, "Select All" to

including referral to a U.S. Attorney's Office, recalculation and/or return of
awarded funds, or other sanctions, may be made when a jurisdiction knowingly

BUREAU OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE
STATE CRIMINAL ALIEN ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SCAAP)
UPDATED REQUIREMENTS For Fiscal Year 2014
FBI Number
The Bureau of Justice Assistance is highly encouraging SCAAP applicants to include the FBI number
for each inmate record submitted on the FY 2014 SCAAP application. The FBI number is one of several
options that will help ensure that only eligible inmates are entered into the SCAAP application, as the
FBI number is automatically assigned to each individual arrested and convicted of a felony or two
misdemeanors. Per the SCAAP Program Guidelines, eligible inmates are defined as those who have
one felony conviction or two misdemeanor convictions. In addition, the FBI number could help
decrease the number of unknown inmate records paid each year with SCAAP funds.
PART I: SCAAP Guidelines
SCAAP Overview
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, administers
SCAAP, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (OHS). SCAAP provides federal
payments to states and localities that incurred correctional officer salary costs for incarcerating undocumented
criminal aliens who have at least one felony or two misdemeanor convictions for violations of state or local law,
and who are incarcerated for at least 4 consecutive days during the reporting period.
SCAAP Legislative Authority
SCAAP is governed by Section 241 (i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1231 (i), as amended,
and Title II, Subtitle C, Section 20301, Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Pub. L. 103-322.
In general terms, if a chief executive officer of a state or a political subdivision exercises authority over the
incarceration of undocumented criminal aliens and submits a written request to the U.S. Attorney General, the
Attorney General may provide compensation to that jurisdiction for those incarceration costs. SCAAP is subject
to additional terms and conditions of yearly congressional appropriations.
Eligible Applicants
States and local units of government that have authority over correctional facilities that incarcerate or detain
undocumented criminal aliens for a minimum of 4 consecutive days are eligible to apply for SCAAP funds. States
and local units of general government include the 50 state governments, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto
Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the more than 3,000 counties and cities with correctional facilities.
Regional jails, special jail districts, or regional jail authorities and boards do not qualify as political subdivisions
of a state for purposes of SCAAP, and therefore are not eligible to directly apply for SCAAP funds. Each unit of
government that houses inmates at a regional facility must apply independently for SCAAP funds, based on its
own costs of housing its undocumented aliens in the regional facility. Regional facilities may not submit SCAAP
applications on behalf of jurisdictions in its service area, nor may a regional facility submit one application for all
participating jurisdictions, using one jurisdiction's name as the recipient.
FY 2014 SCAAP Guidelines and Application Page 1
Packet Pg. 453
Authorized Officials
SCAAP payments must go directly to eligible states and localities. Authorized jurisdiction employees for SCAAP
purposes must be listed as either the Authorized Representative or Alternate Contact in the GMS User Profile.
The chief executive officer (CEO) of an eligible jurisdiction may apply directly or delegate authority to another
jurisdiction official. The CEO is generally considered the highest ranking elected or appointed official of a unit of
government.
Use of SCAAP Awards
The Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-162, Title XI) included the following
requirement regarding the use of SCAAP funds: "Amounts appropriated pursuant to the authorization of
appropriations in paragraph (5) that are distributed to a State or political subdivision of a State, including a
municipality, may be used only for correctional purposes." Beginning with FY 2007 SCAAP awards, SCAAP
funds must be used for correctional purposes only. Jurisdictions receiving SCAAP awards will be asked to report
the projected use of these funds at the time the award is accepted.
Minimum Period of Incarceration
Only eligible persons who were incarcerated for 4 or more consecutive days between July 1, 2012 and June 30,
2013 may be included in the FY 2014 SCAAP application.
Multi-Jurisdictional Issues
• Eligible inmates housed in the applicant's facility exclusively on behalf of another jurisdiction may only be
reported by the sending jurisdiction, regardless of whether the applicant received reimbursement for related
incarceration costs.
• Unless otherwise covered by a cost reimbursement agreement, inmates who are ready for release once
qualifying charges or convictions are concluded, and who are temporarily held in the applicant facility on the
basis of outstanding warrants or detainers from other jurisdictions, including federal law enforcement
agencies, are SCAAP eligible. The applicant jurisdiction may claim the total number of days the inmate was
in custody, including the days the inmate was held on the detainers or outstanding warrants.
• Detention or incarceration days attributable to otherwise qualifying inmates held on federal charges,
convictions, or detainers and covered by cost reimbursement agreements are not SCAAP eligible.
• Juveniles adjudicated delinquent, regardless of the charges or length of custody, are not SCAAP eligible.
Only juvenile offenders who are convicted as adults and who meet the qualifying SCAAP criteria may be
eligible.
Eligible Inmates
Applicants may submit records of inmates in their custody during the reporting period who:
• Were born outside the United States or one of its territories and had no reported or documented claim to
U.S. citizenship.
• Were in the applicant's custody for 4 or more consecutive days during the reporting period.
• Were convicted of a felony or second misdemeanor for violations of state or local law.
• Were identified and reported as undocumented, using due diligence.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will make the final determination on the status of submitted inmate
records for undocumented alien purposes. Inmates may qualify for SCAAP purposes if they were:
• Persons who entered the U.S. without inspection or at any time or place other than as designated by the
Attorney General.
• Persons in deportation or exclusion proceedings at the time they were taken into custody.
• Non-immigrants who failed to maintain their non-immigrant status at the time they were taken into custody.
• Certain Mariel Cubans who otherwise meet these requirements.
FY 2014 SCAAP Guidelines and Application Page 2
Packet Pg. 454
Total All Inmate Days
The "total all inmate days" is the cumulative number of incarceration or detention days attributable to all inmates
housed in the jurisdiction's facilities during the reporting period. It includes all inmates, regardless of their status,
citizenship, disposition, or length of stay, including inmates held at contract facilities. A jurisdiction can use the
sum of all nightly, facility head counts for the 365 days in the reporting period.
EXAMPLE TOTAL DAYS
A Jurisdiction detained or incarcerated 400 inmates during the current reporting cycle. 2,800
Each inmate was held for exactly 7 days. (400 inmates x 7 days)
Criminal Charges and Convictions
To be eligible for reporting, inmates must have been convicted of a felony or second misdemeanor for violations
of state or local law, and housed in the applicant's state or local correctional facility for 4 or more consecutive
days during the reporting period. All pre-trial and post conviction time served from July 1, 2012 through June 30,
2013 may be reported to BJA.
EXAMPLES REPORTABLE DAYS
An alien was convicted of a felony during the reporting period and spent 20 days in
pretrial detention and 60 additional days from the conviction. All 80 days occurred during 80
the reportinq period
An alien was convicted of a felony during the reporting period and spent 20 days in
pretrial detention and 60 additional days from the conviction. The 20 pretrial detention 60
days and 40 of the sentenced days occurred in the reporting period; the remaining 20
davs were served after June 30, 2013.
An alien was convicted of a felony several years ago and is being held in pretrial
detention on new charges. As this alien already qualifies based on the prior felony As calculated
conviction, once he meets the minimum of 4 consecutive days in custody during the
reporting period, the pretrial days may be reported to BJA, regardless of the outcome of
the pendinq charqes.
An alien was convicted of a second misdemeanor and served 3 consecutive days as of
June 30, 2013, and 20 additional days after June 30, 2013. This inmate cannot be 0
reported for FY 2014, but will qualify for FY 2015. NOTE The first 3 days of the sentence
are not reoortable. regardless of what occurs with this inmate in the future.
Required Inmate Data Format
The detailed inmate file reflects the jurisdiction's good faith and due diligence efforts to identify and list
undocumented criminal aliens housed in its correctional facilities. Required inmate data elements include the A-
Number, if known; last, middle, and first names; date of birth; unique inmate number assigned by the applicant
jurisdiction; foreign country of birth; date taken into custody; date released from custody; and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) number, if known.
For inmates with aliases or multiple periods of incarceration: Creating a separate and distinct inmate record for
each qualifying period of incarceration may include eligible inmates incarcerated more than once during the
reporting period. Similarly, inmates with known aliases may be reported by creating a separate and distinct inmate
record for each name. The same unique inmate identification number must be used for all records associated
with a single inmate, regardless of the name under which the inmate was incarcerated. Applications submitted
without complete facility data and inmate records will not be considered for SCAAP funding.
FY 2014 SCAAP Guidelines and Application Page 3
Packet Pg. 455
Country of Birth Codes
Generally, a person born in the U.S. or a U.S. territory is a U.S. citizen and should not be reported. Any submitted
inmate record that includes a country code not on the official ICE country codes list will be rejected. Any record
with an official country code that does not specifically represent a foreign country (unknown) will only be
considered in the award calculation if determined the inmate is undocumented or otherwise qualifies. If the
country provided by the inmate is not on the official ICE country codes list, a country with close geographic
proximity should be selected.
Alternatives to Traditional Incarceration
Inmates are not eligible if they served their incarceration incrementally, such as through weekend incarcerations
that enabled them to maintain employment. Qualifying periods of incarceration must occur consecutively over
the course of 4 or more days.
Parole and Probation Violators
Eligible inmates on parole or probation from qualifying convictions who are subsequently returned to the custody
of a state or local correctional facility may be eligible.
Correctional Officers
Correctional officers include employees, officers, and contractual staff whose primary responsibility is the control,
custody, or supervision of persons detained and incarcerated, including correctional officers, deputy sheriffs,
correctional/jail supervisors, shift commanders, chiefs of security, assistant wardens, and wardens.
Transportation officers and others providing control, custody, or supervision of inmates who are temporarily
outside the maintaining facility are also eligible. Employees, officers, and contractual staff whose primary
responsibility is providing noncustody services to the facility or its inmate population are not SCAAP eligible,
including office and secretarial support, administrative, housekeeping, maintenance, food, health, education,
training, vocational, counseling, and medical staff. Staff who function independently or outside the correctional
facility, including parole and probation agents, hearing officers, court commissioners, judicial, prosecutorial, and
public defenders, warrant and apprehension units, and others are not eligible.
Correctional Officer Salary Calculation
Salary information reported in the SCAAP application must reflect the total salaries and wages paid to full- and
part-time correctional officers and others who meet the SCAAP definition. The reported sum should total the
jurisdiction's actual salary expenditures for the reporting period, not an estimate or average. Correctional officer
salary costs may include premium pay for specialized service, shift differential pay, and fixed-pay increases for
time in service. It may also include overtime required by negotiated contract, statute, or regulation such as union
agreements, contractual obligations, and required post staffing minimums. Benefits should not be included in the
provided salary costs.
Per Diem Costs
Per diem cost is calculated by the SCAAP system, dividing the jurisdiction's "total all inmate days" into the "total
correctional officer salary costs." During the FY 2013 reporting period, jurisdictions reported an average per diem
cost of $31.97. BJA may require documentation to validate per diem costs or impose limits on the costs.
SCAAP Award Calculation
Once SCAAP data has been validated and analyzed, applicants will receive e-mail notification that awards are
ready for online acceptance and drawdown. Formal acceptance of an award via GMS is necessary for the
electronic transfer of funds into the applicant's bank account of record. Applicants have 45 calendar days to
accept awards through GMS once notice is provided. SCAAP payments must go to the jurisdictions' general
fund.
Payment Formula
The following provides an overview of the method used to calculate SCAAP payments
FY 2014 SCAAP Guidelines and Application Page 4
Packet Pg. 456
1. Using financial data from applicants, a per diem rate is calculated for each jurisdiction. For FY 2013 the
average per diem rate was $31.97 per inmate.
2. Inmate data is provided to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to validate inmate data for eligible and
invalid records.
3. Each jurisdiction's total eligible inmate days are totaled then multiplied by the applicant's per diem rate to
derive the total correctional officer salary costs for eligible inmate days.
4. The value of each applicant's correctional officer salary costs associated with its eligible inmate days are
totaled. This total value reflects the maximum amount for SCAAP reimbursement. A percentage factor is
used to reflect the relationship between the maximum reimbursable salary costs and the appropriation. For
FY 2013, this factor was approximately 19 percent.
Variances
A variance will exist between the total salary costs reported by a jurisdiction and the final SCAAP payment
amount, due to adjustments for ineligible or invalid inmate records and the annual appropriation. Both the SCAAP
system and BJA check for variances from prior year submissions for correctional officer staffing and salary levels,
total bed count, and number of total inmate days.
PART II: Applying for FY 2014 SCAAP Funds
FY 2014 Reporting Period
The FY 2014 SCAAP reporting period is from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.
FY 2014 Registration and Application Deadlines
Applications will be accepted through the online Grants Management System (GMS) beginning April 1, 2014,
and ending at 6:00 pm. e.d.t. on May 13, 2014.
The deadline for submitting all completed SCAAP applications is, May 13, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. (e.d.t.).
Extensions or exceptions to this deadline cannot be granted. Because of the volume and complexities involved
in verification of all submitted inmate data and the fact that BJA transmits this file to OHS immediately after the
close of the solicitation, it is not possible for additional applicant data to be reviewed and sent to OHS after the
deadline.
GMS Application Process
The SCAAP Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number is 16.606.
For questions or concerns at any point in the GMS process, call the SCAAP Help Desk at 1-202-353-4411.
1. Access GMS at https//grants.ojp.usdoj.gov.
2. If you already have a GMS user ID, proceed to the GMS sign in. Even if your organization already has a user

4. Beginning October 1, 2003, a Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number
must be included in every application for a new award or renewal of an award. The DUNS number will be
required whether an applicant is submitting an application on paper, through OJP's Grants Management
System, or using the government-wide electronic portal (Grants.gov). An application will not be considered
complete until the applicant provides a valid DUNS number.
FY 2014 SCAAP Guidelines and Application Page 5

7. From the list of BJA grants, find "State Criminal Alien Assistance Program" and click "Apply Online."
8. Confirm that your organization is eligible to apply for this program by reading the text on the screen. If eligible,
proceed by clicking "Continue."
9. Once you have reached this point, you are considered successfully registered.
Online Inmate Data Reporting Process
Select the file upload process below that best meets your needs. While you may change the method prior to
submitting the completed application to BJA, note that the change from one process to another will overwrite and
delete all previous inmate record submissions.
• Direct File Upload: The direct file upload function allows you to submit inmate database records in a single
ASCII-formatted file directly into GMS. File uploads must contain the mandatory data fields in the required
format. File uploads that do not include the necessary information will be considered incomplete and not
eligible SCAAP funding. The SCAAP system provides you with an opportunity to correct files or add missing
data prior to finalizing the application.
• Direct Data Entry: The direct data entry function allows you to manually enter inmate data directly into an
online inmate data template, instead of creating a separate ASCII file. This approach may be best suited for
jurisdictions with smaller facilities or small criminal alien populations. Drop-down menus are provided for
selecting incarceration dates, date of birth, and country of birth (complete country names are listed).
During the file upload process, a red flashing bar will appear at the bottom of the applicant screen. This bar will
continue to flash until the inmate file upload is complete. Upon completion of the inmate file upload, SCAAP GMS
will provide the applicant with a "File Upload Status Report." This report will list the number of inmate records in
the upload and the number of inmate records that are complete. In addition, the report will provide a detailed list
of inmate records (by file number) that are incomplete or have data format errors and the nature of the error.
Print this file upload status report for your records. If during the file upload process, your Internet browser times
out or is disconnected, your inmate file upload may not be complete. It is important that you check the "File
Upload Status Report" and verify that all of your inmate records have been uploaded.
When initiating a file upload, there is an approximate 10 second start-up delay. Once the file upload has actually
begun, the estimated times for file uploads: 300 inmate records = less than 1 minute; 7,800 inmate records= 3
minutes; 54,600 inmate records = 15 minutes.
Technical System Requirements
Internet access is required to apply for SCAAP funding. Generally, Netscape Communicator 4.7 and Internet
Explorer 5.5 are the earliest versions of the respective Internet browsers that may be used for successful SCAAP
application system access. Contact your agency network administrator to determine if an internal firewall or
agency Internet security system may be preventing direct access to the application system, or contact the GMS
Help Desk for information regarding correct port settings. If you are a prior SCAAP user, the browser bookmark
may not work properly and an attempt to access the SCAAP application site may generate a message advising
that the "page cannot be displayed." Delete the bookmark and manually type the URL into the browser address
line.
Internet User Accounts
Government officials from the applying jurisdictions must establish the OJP GMS user accounts for SCAAP.
Non-government officials may not establish user accounts on behalf of applying jurisdictions. When establishing
FY 2014 SCAAP Guidelines and Application Page 6
Packet Pg. 458
a user account, sheriffs or chiefs of police are not considered CE Os, but they may serve as the contact persons
establishing the SCMP user accounts on behalf of the CEOs. All applications must be filed in the name of the
state or unit of government and must include the jurisdiction's CEO's name, official title, and e-mail address.
Application Resubmissions
BJA may return a submitted application with incomplete or inaccurate data to the applicant for corrections, and
will notify both the CEO and the SCMP contact, via the e-mail address of record, that their application needs to
be corrected and resubmitted by a certain date to be considered for SCMP funding.
