He said staff met with the MSBU Committee and a small increase was approved last year but it was insufficient to cover the arrearage which is $4,000.

After than timeframe, the rate will decrease to $7.50 per month. Mr. Parisot pointed out there are 59 property owners which are not paying the MSBU fee and posed questions on the number of residents needed to establish the MSBU.

Upon inquiry by Mr. Harris, Mr. Stewart stated the Board can create various alternative collection methods and methods to deal with delinquencies. Mr. Harris said those options should be considered.

VISITORS - SAM SEEVERS AND SAL NODJOMIAN, OKALOOSA RESTORE ACT COMMITTEE PRESENTATION Ms. Sam Seevers, Chairman of the Okaloosa Restore Act Committee (ORAC), and Mr. Sal Nodjomian, Executive Vice President of Matrix Design Group (ORAC consultant), came forward to provide the Board with an update. Ms. Seevers stated the group was challenged with the task of producing criteria and a tool to evaluate projects for BP funding. She said the eleven-member committee was formalized by the Board in Resolution No. 13-47, adopted on March 4, 2013. Ms. Seevers discussed the slide entitled “Setting the Stage,” which lists the steps already taken by ORAC and those yet to be completed. Currently, the committee is testing the model with several projects. The Mission Statement was provided and she said the most important sentence is “The ORAC shall recommend projects selected in a fair and transparent manner to the BCC to help restore and protect our portion of the Gulf Coast region.” The next slide in the PowerPoint presentation was an explanation of the Goals of ORAC. Mr. Nodjomian detailed Model Development and the Proposed Evaluation Tool to be used to score projects. He stated this tool will depoliticize this process. Mr. Nodjomian summarized, saying Okaloosa County has an educated and engaged ORAC, a deliberate model and is poised for program execution when rules and funding is finalized. Ms. Seevers stated the group was given twelve projects from Louisiana to test the criteria of the model. One proposed project was a park and she supported it but it scored poorly on the model. She said that she had not taken all aspects into considerations, such as environmental impact, but was good with the results because it showed the model and evaluation tool worked. Mr. Parisot said this process is being closely observed by other counties and state agencies. June 17, 2014 -8- Minute Book 71, Page 100 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners Mr. Amunds thanked Ms. Seevers and Mr. Nodjomian for their work and said he likes the idea of moving more slowly and taking the politics out of it. Mr. Boyles echoed those comments and said he appreciates it not becoming a political process. He asked Ms. Seevers to convey his appreciation to the other committee members when the committee meets again. Mr. Windes said he believes these methods give the county credibility and stated we have the right team in place.
