BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: T-A-R, LLC FLUM Amendment
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: 3 - Commissioner Boyles
PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a request changing the use of land submitted by
T-A-R, LLC relating to property located off Point Center Road, Crestview. The request is to change the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation for the property from Rural Residential
(RR) to Low Density Residential (LDR), or a more restrictive FLUM designation. Property contains
194.31 acres, more or less. FINAL ADOPTION PUBLIC HEARING. This item was withdrawn at the
September 2, 2014 meeting.
STAFF FINDINGS:
• The proposed FLUM amendment is classified as a Type - 1 plan amendment which involves
properties 10 acres or more in size. Type - 1 amendments must be transmitted to the State for
state agency review.
• The current RR FLUM category permits single-family dwellings and related uses at an allowable
density of two (2) units to the acre. This density would allow up to 388 single-family dwellings
on the amendment site.
• The proposed LDR FLUM category permits single-family dwellings and related uses at an
allowable density of four (4) units to the acre. This density would allow up to 777 single-family
dwelling units on the amendment site.
• Evaluation guidelines and criteria for Type - 1 amendments are specified in the Comprehensive
Plan, Administration Element, Policy 1.15. After careful consideration of these criteria, staff
believes the following issues warrant particular mention.
c. a functional relationship of the proposed amendment to other more densely or intensely
designated or development lands;
Response: There are no other properties proximate to the amendment site designated by the
County for low density residential use; all adjacent and nearby properties are designated RR and
AG on the County’s FLUM. However, there is a subdivision within the City limits less than one half
mile north of the subject property that has the density requested by the applicant (see
Attachment I, City and County Zoning), as well as additional parcels bearing the City’s R-1 zoning
. There are also subdivisions within the City west of State Road 85 along the Antioch corridor
with the same density as requested. The property is accessed by a private, unpaved road owned
by the applicant. There are two borrow bits adjacent to the amendment site and a C & D landfill
just west of the site. Finally, the Antioch School is located inside the City of Crestview just north
of the site.
4. The extent to which any development enabled by the amendment will promote an
orderly and logical pattern of development relative to the area involved, and can co-exist in
Packet Pg. 13
relative proximity to other adjacent or nearby land uses in a stable fashion over time such that
no other use or condition is unduly negatively impacted directly or indirectly by another use or
condition, or will otherwise interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of properties enjoyed by
other property owners in the vicinity of the amendment area.
Response: While there are no other properties designated LDR on the County FLUM proximate to
the amendment site, the proposed density is consistent with the character of development
established by the outward growth of the City of Crestview (Attachment I). The site’s proximity
to two active borrow pits and a landfill could pose issues for future residents of any development
resulting from the proposed amendment. Finally, PJ Adams Road, which is one of the most
congested roads in north Okaloosa County, is one of the primary roads that serve the subject
property. Traffic concurrency will be an issue for any development of the property.
5. The amendment is intended to correct an oversight or mistake in the Plan or on the FLUM, or
conditions and circumstances in the vicinity of the amendment area have changed to justify or
give rise to a need for the amendment.
Response: There are no oversights or mistakes on the FLUM to be corrected through this
application. The site has been designated for rural residential use since 1990 and, in fact, has
gone from 1 du/ac in 1990 to 2 du/ac in 2000. The applicant purchased the property in 2008. As
noted in the application, the area south of I-10 is desirable for development due to proximity to
Eglin Air Force Base. A review of aerial photographs of the area indicates that the existing
subdivisions south of I-10 are substantially built out.
• The amendment site is located within the Eglin North Encroachment Zone which necessitates
review and comment by the County’s Military Representative. The site is not within the critical
approaches or accident potential zones associated with Camp Rudder as identified in the Eglin
Joint Land Use Study.
• The applicant provided a letter dated January 23, 2014 from a local realtor indicating a need for
building lots in the .25 - .35 acre lot size in the area south of I-10. Attached to this letter is data
taken from Market Graphics Southeast which shows demand for new homes in market area MG
23 which is north Okaloosa County (Exhibit 1). However, according to Department records there
have been 76 new subdivisions approved in the MG 23 area from 2004 to 2013 with a total of
5,506 building lots.
• The Board approved this amendment for transmittal for state agency review on July 1, 2014. No
objections were raised by any agency as a result of this review.
PUBLIC COMMENT/OPPOSITION: None to date.
PLANNING COMMISSION: The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval at
a public hearing held June 12, 2014.
MILITARY REPRESENTATIVE: No comment.
STAFF POSITION: Staff has no objection to the proposed amendment provided the traffic concurrency
and access issues are addressed during development.
Packet Pg. 14
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board consider the facts presented herein, the
Planning Commission recommendation, as well as any facts that may be presented at the public hearing,
and then decide whether or not to adopt the FLUM amendment by ordinance.

Subject: Emerald Coast Young Marines and Red Ribbon Week
Commissioner Harris:
We are currently working on Red Ribbon Week which is the last week of October (Oct. 23-31, 2014). The Emerald
Coast Young Marines (a youth organization for ages 8-18) will be actively participating in this nationally
recognized illicit drug awareness event. I'm requesting your assistance in publicizing and promoting this week by
issuing a proclamation that declares support and commitment in the fight against illegal drugs and those that
promote their use.
If you would be willing to issue this proclamation, I would like to schedule the date and time so that we can have
some Young Marines present, and if able to give a short statement. We would also like to bring some red ribbons
and handouts if permitted.
I have attached a sample proclamation that you are able to revise as needed.
Please let me know as soon as possible so I can coordinate the youth with your calendar. We truly appreciate your
consideration.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Dino J. Villani
SUBJECT: Amendment #007 (Contract Renewal) to Contract #AH105
DEPARTMENT: Public Safety
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Ratify the Chairman's signature on Amendment #007 (Contract
Renewal) to Contract #AH105.
BACKGROUND: The Board of County Commissions entered into a contract with the
Department of Children and Families, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services to provide
Case Management Services for the Drug Court Program effective August 1999. The contract
required the County to deliver Case Management Services in the form of one full-time position.
The Board also entered into a contract with the Department for Forensic Mental Health Services
effective February 2004. This contract required the County to hire a Forensic Mental Health
Specialist.
The Board approved the hiring of the Case Manager August 17, 1999, and the Forensic Mental
Health Specialist on February 10, 2004. The Case Manager and the Forensic Mental Health
Specialist work under the direction of the Drug Court Manager.
In September 2006, the Department agreed to enter into a contract with the County to fund two
(2) additional positions due to the escalating population at the County Jail. On September 16,
2006, the Board approved the hiring of the Mental Health Court Case Manager and the Mental
Health Pretrial Officer. The Mental Health Court Case Manager works under the direction of the
Drug Court Manager, and the Mental Health Pretrial Officer works under the direction of the
Pretrial Services Coordinator.
The Department of Children and Families, contracted through Big Bend Community Based Care,
Inc., has agreed to provide grant funding in the amount of $120,339 effective October 1, 2014,
and terminating June 30, 2015.
Section 394.9082, Florida Statutes, authorizes the Department to contract with a Managing
Entity, to-wit: Big Bend Community Based Care, Inc., to manage the day-to-day operational
delivery of services through an organized system of care. The Legislature found that a
management structure that places the responsibility for publicly financed behavioral health
treatment and prevention services within a single, private, nonprofit entity at the local level will
promote improved access to care, promote service continuity, and provide for more efficient and
effective delivery of substance abuse and mental health services. One of its major goals is to
remove administrative functions from service providers to better serve individuals needing care.
The Department is finalizing negotiations of a contract with Big Bend Community Based Care,
Packet Pg. 182
Inc., to serve as the Department’s Managing Entity for the Northwest Region to provide the
coordination, integration, management, and all other functions necessary for the effective
delivery of behavioral health services. Section 394.9082(6)(b), Florida Statutes, directs the
Department to terminate all contracts with providers in the Northwest Region. Similarly, section
394.9082(6)(c), Florida Statutes, requires the Managing Entity to offer contracts to all providers
currently under contract with the Department. In order to ensure continuity of service, the
Department is offering providers the alternative of agreeing to an assignment of their contracts to
Big Bend Community Based Care, Inc., with some changes.
Under the Department’s contract with Big Bend Community Based Care, Inc., they are
responsible for performing the following baseline functions for the Department:
• System of Care Development and Management
• Continuous Quality Improvement
• Utilization Management
• Planning
• Network Management
• Training and Technical Assistance
• Financial Management
• Board Development and Governance
• Data Collection, Reporting, and Management
• Disaster Planning and Responsiveness
In addition, the Department’s contract with Big Bend Community Based Care, Inc., requires the
implementation of many substantive programmatic changes, which the Managing Entity will in
turn require of all providers including:
• Specific requirements relating to integration with child welfare and prioritization of
pregnant addicted women and women with dependent children
• Specific requirements relating to family-centered treatment
• More specific requirements concerning serving Medicaid eligible individuals
• Requirement that Management Entity develop Waste Fraud and Abuse Prevention Plan
• Specific requirements concerning how the Managing Entity monitors providers, including
developing risk assessment reviews for each provider in the network
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve Amendment #007 (Contract Renewal) to Contract
#AH105; ratify the Chairman’s signature dated September 25, 2014; and authorize the Chairman,
as the County’s representative, to execute all future grant documents during the term of the grant.

miscellaneous cash owed by Vince Czarnecki.
BACKGROUND: Solid Waste Haulers failed to pay $12,185.96 in tip fees for the customers
they serviced. Several collection attempts made to collect were unsuccessful and the debt was
turned over to a collection agency, which was also unsuccessful at recovering the debt. Solid
Waste Haulers sold their hauling business in January 2013.

DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: District 3N
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Seeking approval to authorize final payment to Willingham
Construction in the amount of $11,000 for red clay delivered for the repair of storm damages to
retention ponds.
BACKGROUND: DR-4177 Florida severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding
occurred on April 30, 2014. Subsequently a major disaster declaration was declared on May 6.
Stormwater infrastructure staff inspected damage to retention ponds in the Baker and Crestview
areas and provided estimates of damages to FEMA. As a result, damages to edges of the holding
ponds needed to be backfilled and graded. Originally, PO 21401737 was issued for 1,690 cubic
yards of red clay to be delivered to Baker at $10 per cubic yard and 3,142 cubic yards of red clay
to be delivered to Crestview at $9 per cubic yard. Total funds encumbered were $45,178.00.
Several rains occurred since the PO was issued, causing additional damages to the Baker ponds
and increasing the amount of material needed to complete the repairs. At the time additional
material was requested, the delivery charge to Baker was at the higher $10 per cubic yard rate.
Final invoice 3173 was issued in the amount of $11,000.00 to pay for the red clay delivered to
Baker. The remaining balance available on PO 21401737 prior to payment is $11,158.00.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve payment of invoice 3173 in the amount of $11,000.00 to
Willingham Construction.

via drainage ditch in conjunction with planned improvements to the road.
BACKGROUND: Staff has negotiated to obtain a drainage easement from James Owen, a
landowner along the west side of County maintained William Gary Johnson Road in the Baker
area. Land owners have requested that William Gary Johnson Road be improved with millings
and/or the chip seal process. Due to flooding issues in this segment of road during heavy

STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Florida State Rally, Inc is requesting the use of a portion of the
parking lot at the Boardwalk for the 2014 Florida State Hog Rally.
BACKGROUND: County Ordinance #13-07 (regulation of county recreational areas, including
parks and beaches) addresses Special Events at county parks, beaches or recreational areas
within Okaloosa County.
A request has been received from Florida State Rally, Inc. to use a portion of the parking lot at
the Boardwalk for the 2014 Florida State Hog Rally. The rally will be held from Tuesday,
October 21st through Saturday, October 25th, 2014. Harley Davidson owners and other
motorcycle riders from throughout the State of Florida and other states are anticipated to be
attracted to this event. Non-food vendors of leather goods and other motorcycle related items
will be present. Entertainment in the form of motorcycle drill teams and motorcycle games are
on the schedule. Estimated attendance is from 100 to 499 people for Wednesday through Sunday
with Tuesday early arrivals under 100 people.
Florida State Rally, Inc. donates a portion of their proceeds to various charities such as the
Shriners' Burn Center and Bob Hope Village.
This request has been reviewed by Public Works, Risk Management, Public Safety, the Sheriff's
Office, the Tourist Development Department, and the leaseholder at the Boardwalk. Risk
Management requests that no motorcycle jumping activities be included.

SUBJECT: TO 121 Sole Source Approvals
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval of sole source forms for GAMPI and Google for
Peter Mater task order 121.
BACKGROUND: The Task Order Approval Form for Peter Mayer task order 121 targeting
meeting professionals was approved by the Purchasing Department on December 23, 2013, but
neither page 5 of the task order document nor the sole source forms were signed. County
authorization is provided via the Task Order Approval Form, so a County signature is not needed
on the task order document itself. The Media Mind and CVENT items do not meet the
competitive pricing threshold of $2,500 and those sole source forms are therefore unnecessary.
However, payment cannot be processed with incomplete sole source forms for GAMPI and
Google. The Meeting Professionals International Georgia Chapter (GaMPI) is the seventh
largest chapter in the global MPI organization and Atlanta is a primary meeting and event
planner target audience. Google is the number one online search engine and online marketing is
an essential component of the County’s marketing approach.
The task order was executed prior to the current Purchasing Manager, so Board approval is
requested for the GAMPI and Google sole source forms.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve sole source forms for GAMPI and Google for Peter Mater
task order 121 and authorize the Chairman to sign the forms.

BACKGROUND: In 1993, the Board took action to pay the Okaloosa County Island Fire
District for fire protection services provided to the properties owned by the County including the
Boardwalk and more recently the Convention Center because these properties are exempt from
the usual fire assessment fees the fire district would have collected to provide such services. The
State Auditor General noted that the agreement to provide fire protection services was never
memorialized in a written agreement. The Auditor General recommends the BCC have a written
agreement to pay for these services

SUBJECT: Using CIP Funds "Freed Up" By Grants In Lieu Of A Rate Adjustment
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: OCWS staff have been requested to discuss the use of CIP funds
"freed up" by grants in lieu of the October 1, 2014 rate adjustment stipulated in Ordinance
Number 11-12. That ordinance provided for a five year schedule of annual rate adjustments. The
first scheduled adjustment took place on October 1, 2011 and the last scheduled adjustment will
occur on October 1, 2015.
BACKGROUND: As to the use of CIP funds freed up by grant money in lieu of the scheduled
October 1 rate adjustment, we do not believe that is appropriate. Grant funds are always project
specific. Diverting a large number of dollars into the rate model in lieu of the revenue from the
scheduled FY2015 rate adjustment is problematic. In the past, when we have received a large
grant for a project that was already in our Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget, we found
an unbudgeted urgently needed project on which to spend the previously budgeted funds "freed
up" by the grant. Example; when the Northwest Florida Water Management District awarded
OCWS a $1.25 million grant for the Bob Sikes elevated tank, we informed the BCC that we plan
to allocate the freed up funds to buy land for the Shoal River offline reservoir.
We believe that it is crucial that we always use grant opportunities to increase the funding for
addressing our critical aging infrastructure issues. The intent of grants for capital projects is not
to divert funds from infrastructure projects to O&M expenses. Our strong recommendation to the
members of the BCC and the County Administrator is that windfall grant opportunities for Water
& Sewer be used for critical aging infrastructure projects.
OPTIONS: Take no action or direct staff otherwise.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff strongly recommends that no action be taken - that the current
five year rate plan should be kept in place as scheduled through October 1, 2015.

SUBJECT: Gravity Sewer Rehab - FDEP Grant Agreement
DEPARTMENT: Water and Sewer
BCC DISTRICT: 2&4
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Staff requests that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC)
approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Grant Agreement between the County and the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for $450,000 of state appropriations to
go towards gravity sewer rehab.
BACKGROUND: This past February, Okaloosa County submitted three water & sewer projects
via the County lobbyist (Cardenas Partners) for state appropriations. The requests were as
follows:
1. Okaloosa Island/Wright Area Gravity Sewer Rehabilitation Project - $450,000
2. Okaloosa Island Water Supply Project - $600,000
3. Lake Pippin Area Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project - $2,000,000
This past June, staff received great news that all three requests had been funded, as listed above,
for the state FY2014-2015 budget year. We also received notice that the state appropriations
would be administered through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's (FDEP)
grant program. Since June, OCWS staff has been working with FDEP staff to firm up Project
Work Plans and resulting Grant Agreement on each project. OCWS staff has also been
coordinating the grant agreements with other County staff, including the Clerk of the Court. As
we are working with various FDEP personnel with variable timing, staff will be coming to you
with three separate FDEP Grant Agreements, one for each of the above-mentioned projects. For
these grant agreements, a match is not required, and eligible expenses can be retroactive back to
7/1/2014, provided that they meet the Scope of Work and satisfy other terms and conditions of
the grant agreement.
For your review and approval is the first of three FDEP grant agreements - the Okaloosa
Island/Wright Area Gravity Sewer Rehabilitation Project, for $450,000. The agreement, titled
"State Financial Assistance Agreement, Okaloosa County, DEP Agreement No. LP46040", is
attached, along with the County Contract Review Coordination Sheet. As shown in Attachment
A, the "Project Work Plan", all $450,000 will be spent on construction dollars (Task 1). The
project will include relining gravity sewer lines with cured-in-place pipe or in some cases, where
the condition dictates, point repairs will be installed in lieu of complete relining from manhole to
manhole. Problem manholes that have been identified as in poor structural condition will be
completely relined, including the re-establishment of structural integrity as needed. The work
will be done by utilizing two existing County Contracts; both are unit-price maintenance
contracts. Contract #C12-1955-WS, with Insituform, will be utilized for work associated with
pipelines. Contract #C13-2066-WS, with Gulf Coast Underground, will be utilized for work
Packet Pg. 323
associated with manholes.
OPTIONS: Approve or deny.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends BCC approval for the Chairman to execute the
Grant Agreement with FDEP for $450,000 of state appropriations funding to go towards gravity
sewer rehab. Staff requests also that the BCC authorize the Chairman to execute any future grant
documents, including modifications to the grant agreement that don't change the total dollar
amount.

and OKALOOSA COUNTY, whose address is 1804 Lewis Turner Blvd., Suite 206, Ft. Walton
Beach, Florida 32547 (hereinafter referred to as “Grantee”), a local government under the laws
of the State of Florida, to provide funds for the Okaloosa Island/Wright Area Gravity Sewer
Rehabilitation project. Collectively, the Department and the Grantee shall be referred to as
“Parties” or individually as a “Party”.
In consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived from this Agreement, the
Department and the Grantee do hereby agree as follows:
1. The Grantee does hereby agree to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, Attachment A (Project Work Plan), and all attachments and exhibits
named and attached hereto, which are incorporated by reference.
2. This Agreement shall be effective on July 1, 2014 and end no later than June 30, 2016,
inclusive. The Grantee shall be eligible for reimbursement for work performed on or after the
effective date through the expiration date of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended
to provide for additional services if additional funding is made available by the Legislature.
3. A. As consideration for the services satisfactorily rendered by the Grantee under the
terms of this Agreement, the Department shall pay the Grantee on a cost reimbursement
basis an amount not to exceed $450,000 toward the total estimated project cost of
$450,000. The parties hereto understand and agree that this Agreement does not require
a match on the part of the Grantee. If the Grantee finds, after receipt of competitive bids,
that the work described in Attachment A cannot be accomplished for the current
estimated project cost, the parties hereto agree to modify the Project Work Plan described
in Attachment A, by amendment of this Agreement, to provide for the work that can be
accomplished for the funding identified above.
B. Prior written approval from the Department’s Grant Manager shall be required for
changes between deliverable budget categories not to exceed 10% of the total deliverable
budget amount. The Department Grant Manager will transmit a copy of the written

and acceptance of the deliverable(s) identified in Attachment A, utilizing a properly
completed Disbursement Request Package (provided as Attachment B). All bills for
amounts due under this Agreement shall be submitted in detail sufficient for a proper pre-

involve payments for direct salaries of the subcontractor’s employees shall clearly
identify the personnel involved, salary rate per hour, and hours/time spent on the
project. All multipliers used (i.e. fringe benefits, overhead, and/or general and
administrative rates) shall be supported by audit. If the Department determines
that multipliers charged by any subcontractor exceeded the rates supported by
audit, the Grantee shall be required to reimburse overpayments resulting from use
of these excessive multipliers to the Department within thirty (30) days of written
notification. Interest on the excessive charges shall be calculated based on the
prevailing rate used by the State Board of Administration. For fixed price
(vendor) subcontracts, the following provisions shall apply:
a. The Grantee may award, on a competitive basis, fixed price
subcontracts to consultants/contractors in performing the work described
in Attachment A. Invoices submitted to the Department for fixed price

and Federal guidelines (including cost allocation guidelines), as appropriate. This
information when requested must be provided within thirty (30) calendar days of such
request. The Grantee may also be required to submit a cost allocation plan to the
Department in support of its multipliers (overhead, indirect, general administrative costs,
and fringe benefits).

Revised 7/14
DEP Agreement No. LP46040, Page 4 of 11
Packet Pg. 330
A. A CAP shall be submitted within ten (10) business days of the date of the letter
request from the Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Department Grant Manager
for review and approval. Within ten (10) business days of receipt of a CAP, the
Department shall notify the Grantee in writing whether the CAP proposed has been
accepted. If the CAP is not accepted, the Grantee shall have ten (10) business days from
receipt of the Department’s letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed
CAP. Failure to obtain the Department’s approval of a CAP as specified above shall
result in the Department’s termination of this Agreement for cause as authorized in this
Agreement.
B. Upon the Department’s notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, the Grantee shall
have ten (10) calendar days to commence implementation of the accepted plan.
Acceptance of the proposed CAP by the Department does not alter or amend the
Grantee’s obligations under this Agreement. If the CAP fails to correct or eliminate
performance deficiencies by the Grantee, the Department shall retain the right to require
additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform.
No actions approved by the Department or steps taken by the Grantee shall serve to
condone, forgive or estop the Department from asserting subsequent deficiencies in
performance. The Grantee shall continue to implement the CAP until all deficiencies are
corrected. Reports on the progress of the CAP will be made to the Department as
requested by the Department Grant Manager.
C. Failure to respond to the Department’s request for a CAP or failure to correct a
deficiency in the performance of the Grantee as specified by the Department may result
in termination of this Agreement.
The remedies set forth above are not exclusive and the Department reserves the right to
exercise other remedies in addition to or in lieu of those set forth above.
10. This Agreement may be unilaterally canceled by the Department for refusal by the
Grantee to allow public access to all documents, papers, letters, or other material made or
received by the Grantee in conjunction with this Agreement, unless the records are exempt
pursuant to Section 24(a) of Article I of the State Constitution, Section 119.07(1), Florida
Statutes, or other statute.
11. The Grantee shall maintain books, records and documents directly pertinent to
performance under this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied. The Department, the State, or their authorized representatives shall have

of this Agreement.
B. The Grantee is hereby advised that the Federal and/or Florida Single Audit Act
Requirements may further apply to lower tier transactions that may be a result of this
Agreement. The Grantee shall consider the type of financial assistance (federal and/or
state) identified in Attachment G, Exhibit 1 when making its determination. For federal
financial assistance, the Grantee shall utilize the guidance provided under OMB Circular
A-133, Subpart B, Section ___.210 for determining whether the relationship represents
that of a subrecipient or vendor. For state financial assistance, the Grantee shall utilize

PROJECT WORK PLAN
OKALOOSA COUNTY
LP46040
Project Title: Okaloosa Island / Wright Area Gravity Sewer Rehabilitation
Project Location: The project area is on Okaloosa Island and in the Ocean City/Wright
neighborhoods of unincorporated Okaloosa County, surrounding the City of Fort Walton Beach.
The areas to be rehabilitated are all in the watershed of Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of
Mexico.
Project Background: The subject project will include relining gravity sewer lines and manholes
(primarily brick) that have aged far beyond their usable service life and are leaking throughout
Okaloosa County Water and Sewer's (OCWS) service areas on Okaloosa Island (a coastal barrier
island) and in unincorporated areas surrounding Fort Walton Beach. The relining of leaking
gravity sewer lines and manholes that are located above the normal groundwater table will
eliminate the introduction of raw sewage into the surrounding ground. The areas to be rehabilitated
are all within the watersheds that feed the Choctawhatchee Bay and Gulf of Mexico. The
elimination of raw sewage entering the ground in these areas will serve to reduce pollutant runoff
into both of these pristine bodies of water.
In addition, the inflow of excess stormwater will be reduced during heavy rain events (such as
hurricanes and tropical storms) which will greatly reduce increased flows to the water
reclamation facilities during such events. High flows in the system increase the possibility of
sewage spills at lift stations throughout the system during storm events, which are frequent in the
coastal area to be covered in this project. This ongoing problem was highlighted by the
unprecedented rains experienced in the area during the last week of April as sewer systems
throughout the area were inundated with excess flow and sewage spills contaminated both
Choctawhatchee Bay and Santa Rosa Sound, which both feed into the Gulf of Mexico through
the East Pass at Destin.
Also, infiltration into leaking manholes and sewer lines causes subsidence of the soil surrounding
the faulty infrastructure, which can lead to significant cave-ins of the ground surface above.
These sinkholes will disturb either the natural environment or man-made improvements
(pavement, sidewalks, etc.) located above them.
Project Description: The project will include relining gravity sewer lines with cured-in-place pipe
(CIPP) or in some cases, where the condition dictates, CIPP point repairs will be installed in lieu
of complete relining from manhole to manhole. Problem manholes that have been identified as in
poor structural condition within the described service areas will be completely relined, including
the re-establishment of structural integrity as needed. As part of construction, the sewer lines will
be cleaned, inspected, and prepared for rehabilitation. Closed circuit TV (CCTV) recordings will
be made before and after repairs are made.

Contract Payment Requirements
Florida Department of Financial Services, Reference Guide for State Expenditures
Cost Reimbursement Contracts
Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of expenditures by category
(salary, travel, expenses, etc.). Supporting documentation must be provided for each amount for which reimbursement
is being claimed indicating that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided in lieu of copies of actual
checks. Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in
the approved contract budget should be reimbursed.
Listed below are examples of the types of documentation representing the minimum requirements:
(1) Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register
should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an
individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document
reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the
employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe
benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of fringe
benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies
of checks for fringe benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes,
which includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher or electronic
means.
(4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. If nonexpendable property
is purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision for the transfer of
the property to the State when services are terminated. Documentation must be provided
to show compliance with Department of Management Services Rule 60A-1.017, Florida
Administrative Code, regarding the requirements for contracts which include services and
that provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in Section
273.02, Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the State.
(5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be reimbursed
on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must be
reasonable.
(6) Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then the
calculation should be shown.
Contracts between state agencies, and or contracts between universities may submit alternative documentation to
substantiate the reimbursement request that may be in the form of FLAIR reports or other detailed reports.

DEPARTMENT: Purchasing
BCC DISTRICT: All

SUBJECT: Destin Fire Control District – lifeguard interlocal renewal
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval for Chairman to sign interlocal agreement
renewal with the Destin Fire Control District for Beach Safety & Lifeguard Services.
BACKGROUND: The Destin Fire Control District has been providing beach safety and
lifeguard services within the area between Destin East Pass and the Okaloosa/Walton County
line, excluding Henderson Beach State Park, since 2003. As the provision of a safe beach is an
essential component of promoting the sub-county taxing district, the County has historically
funded these services by use of tourist development tax revenues.
The current interlocal agreement expires 9/30/14, but contains a provision for up to two
additional one-year terms. The County provided the Contract/Lease Renewal Form to the Fire
District on July 8. The County received the signed renewal form on September 17, and therefore
was unable to present the renewal for Board consideration prior to the expiration of the current
interlocal agreement.
In accordance with the terms of the interlocal agreement, funding will be in an amount equal to
that which is budgeted and appropriated by the Board of County Commissioners to the Okaloosa
County Beach Safety Division for the provision of beach safety and lifeguards services within
the Service Area. The amount budgeted for fiscal year 2014-2015 is $519,157.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove
RECOMMENDATION: Approve renewal of the interlocal agreement with the Destin Fire
Control District for Beach Safety & Lifeguard Services, and authorize Chairman to sign the
renewal.

SUBJECT: Special Event and Sponsorship Funding
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval of payments for Special Events and Sponsorships
in a reasonable and consistent manner for documented marketing activities that do not involve
payment to third-party vendors.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to the TDD Operations & Procedures Manual, special event and
sponsorship funding is awarded on a value-based or results-based approach: “up to $10 per
historically documented or anticipated room night.” However, reimbursement is on a cost-based
or efforts-based approach: “Substantiating backup per activity or copy of proof of payments such
as cleared check record showing front and back of checks, or detailed credit card receipts. For
all media buys please provide tear sheets, copies of advertisements, schedules and signed station
affidavits.”
There is definitive marketing value in website exposure and the County has historically paid
third-party vendors on a per-impression basis as part of the strategic marketing plan. A rate of
$0.20 per impression has been consistently used to compensate special events for promoting the
Emerald Coast in their online marketing. Examples of events include:
Previous Payments Pending Payments
Emerald Coast Golf Tour Emerald Coast Volleyball
Emerald Coast Sports Camps Destin Seafood Festival
Emerald Coast Volleyball
In addition to the per-impression methodology discussed above, there is also definitive
marketing value in:
• Appearing on the first page of Google search results and the County has historically paid
third-party vendors for search engine optimization. A rate of $150 per month has been
used to compensate Emerald Coast Sports Camps for search engine optimization; and
• Telephone sales calls approach to attracting out of state coaches to the area and thereby
driving room occupancy. Were it not for these efforts, the event would not have
occurred. A rate of $3.50 per out-of-town visitor has been used to compensate Emerald
Coast Sports Camps for bringing a sporting event in the Emerald Coast.
Although the County has historically reimbursed entities for the marketing activities discussed
above, payment has recently been denied for such expenditures. Staff is in the process of
revising the Special Event and Sponsorship Funding guidelines to address the inherent policy
contradiction between the basis of awarding funding and the basis of payment/reimbursement as
well as marketing activities that do not involve payment to third-party vendors. In the meantime,
Packet Pg. 362
Board approval is requested to recognize that the TDD is essentially contracting with special
events for the aforementioned marketing exposure, not all of which may involve payment to
third-party vendors.
OPTIONS: Approve or Disapprove

a reasonable and consistent manner for documented marketing activities that do not involve

SUBJECT: Approve two Supplemental Joint Participation Agreements
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve two
Supplemental Joint Participation Agreements (SJPAs)to assist with higher priority projects at
Northwest Florida Regional Airport.
BACKGROUND: The attached SJPAs change the description of two grants previously issued
for projects at Bob Sikes Airport. One is being renamed from an aircraft parking apron overlay
to the purchase and installation of two passenger loading bridges at VPS. This project is
currently under a recently accepted Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant. The Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) and County shares are about $97,500 each. The County
funding is planned from Passenger Facility Charges (PFC).
The second SJPA was originally for erosion control at Bob Sikes, but that has been accomplished
as a Florida Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) project. The SJPA renames the project to
provide 50% FDOT matching funds ($50,000) for the upgrade of the VPS access control system.
The Airport has sufficient funding budged in FY 15 for its share.
OPTIONS: Approve, Disapprove, Table
RECOMMENDATIONS: Airport Staff recommends acceptance of the two grants by approving
the attached SJPAs and Signature Resolutions.

SUBJECT: Reject current bids and re-bid for construction of Destin Airport Air
Traffic Control Tower
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to reject all bids
and approve the request to re-bid the Destin Airport Air Traffic Control Tower by authorizing
staff to advertise for a new Request For Bids for the construction of the project with the updated
construction plans and specifications.
BACKGROUND: : Okaloosa County publicly advertised and competitively bid for the
construction of the Destin Airport Air Traffic Control Tower on 7/1/14. The sealed bids were
opened on 7/30/14. Three (3) bids were received and evaluated by Reynolds Smith & Hill and all
three bids contained mathematical errors and had differences which exceeded $500,000.00
between each total-as-read bid schedule. Furthermore, during the bid evaluation phase to identify
a responsive low bidder, it was determined that a change in scope was necessary to address
additional tower site security measures. Additionally, more time is needed to re-align the
construction schedule with the tower cab equipment installation in conjunction with the Federal
Aviation Administration Airway Facilities Division and the required completion of a small scale
future land use map amendment and rezoning for the tower site by the City of Destin.
Pursuant to 17.1 of the Contract Bid Documents, and in consultation and with the approval of
both the Federal Aviation Administration and Florida Department of Transportation (the funding
agencies) it was determined that it is in the best interest of the County to reject all bids and
advertise for a new Request For Bids for the construction of the project.
OPTIONS: Approve, Reject or Table
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the request to reject all bids and re-solicit RFB's for the
construction of the Destin Airport Air Traffic Control Tower.

FROM: Sunil Harman
SUBJECT: Request to solicit bids for construction of the Aircraft Rescue and Fire
Fighting Facility
DEPARTMENT: Airport
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners is requested to approve the
request to solicit Requests For Bids for construction of the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting
Facility (ARFF) on Eglin Air Force Base.
BACKGROUND: The Board of County Commissioners approved the construction award to
Birkshire, Inc. on 12/17/13. The Board of County Commissioners approved the Chairman to sign
the construction contract on 2/18/14. A Pre-Construction Conference was not held and the
Contractor was not issued a Notice to Proceed (NTP) for construction due to County having
learned that the base utilities servicing the location were insufficient to provide the required fire
protection resulting in the need for the project’s architectural engineering firm to revise the plans
and specifications to include additional utility work. On 7/1/14 the contractor retracted the
payment and performance bond and insurance.
Given the extensive change in the scope of utility work, the need to optimize grant funds for
construction, and concerns about the low-bid contractor’s inability to perform and deliver on
schedule a much simpler parking lot project under a separate contract obligation at Bob Sikes
Airport, the Airports’ Department, in consultation with and approval from the Federal Aviation
Administration and Florida Department of Transportation (the funding agencies) determined that
it was not in the best interests of the County to issue the NTP for the project - but instead to rebid
it.
OPTIONS: Approve, Reject or Table
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the request to solicit Request For Bids for the construction
of the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Station on Eglin Air Force Base.

DEPARTMENT: Growth Management Department

STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Growth Management Department requests that the Board
approve an extension to the Agreement for Operation of Okaloosa County Public Transit and
authorize the Chairman to sign an extension letter to Okaloosa County Transit.
BACKGROUND: Okaloosa County Transit (OCT) was selected on February 1,2000
through a competitive procurement process to coordinate transportation services for the
transportation disadvantaged and to provide public transportation services in Okaloosa County.
The Florida Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), as
•
grantors of public transit funds to the County, required in 2005 that the County enter into a formal
operating contract with the selected operator. The agreement outlines the role and responsibilities
of OCT, including obtaining Board approval for schedule and fare changes, development of
public transit routes and submission of an annual operating budget.
The agreement also states that the County will administer all applicable State and Federal grant
programs. The Board will assign task orders to the agreement for transportation services. Task
orders will detail the services agreed upon, funding amounts, allowable and reasonable cost
reimbursement, and method of payment for services rendered.
The agreement is scheduled to expire September 30, 2010 and allows for provisions to extend the
agreement with written approval. It is requested that the agreement be extended for (5) years
with an expiration date of September 30,2015.
RECOMMENDATION: The Growth Management Department recommends that the Board
authorize the Chairman to sign the extension letter to the Agreement for Operation of Okaloosa
County Public Transit.

receive and participate in DOT-assisted contracts. It is also our policy:
To ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT assisted contracts;
To create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for DOT assisted contracts;
To ensure that the DBE Program is narrowly tailored in accordance with applicable law;
To ensure that only firms that fully meet 49 CPR Part 26 eligibility standards are permitted to
participate as DBEs;
To help remove barriers to the participation of DBEs in DOT assisted contracts; and
12

To assist the development of firms that can compete successfully in the market place outside the DBE
Program.

from (Recipient) setting forth the nature of said breach or default, (Recipient) shall have the right to

and its sureties for said breach or default.
d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that (Recipient) elects to waive its remedies for any
breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by (Recipient) shall

condition of this Contract.

notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, when it is in the Government's interest. If this

The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor the Contractor charged with damages under
this clause if-

fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include: acts of God, acts of the Recipient,
acts of another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the Recipient, epidemics, quarantine

incurred by the Recipient.
If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in
default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for
the convenience of the Recipient.
j. Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The (Recipient) may terminate this

excusable reason for not performing, such as strike, fire, flood, events which are not the fault of and are
beyond the control of the contractor, the (Recipient), after setting up a new work schedule, may allow the
Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Extension of FDOT Contract AQH83 - Commuter
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Department of Growth Management requests that the Board
grant after-the-fact authorization to extend the expiration of Grant AQH83 until 12/30/2014.
BACKGROUND: Okaloosa County receives funds from the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) to provide van pool service with routes from Crestview and Niceville to
Ft Walton Beach which are utilized by employees from the Public Works and Water and Sewer
departments. The FDOT funds support 50% of the operating costs for 7 vans which transport
approximately 36 commuters per day. The remaining 50% is paid through a deduction on the
participating employees’ pay. The current contract through which these funds are provided
expired on September 30, 2014. However, under FDOT’s process, extensions are granted
administratively with electronic amendment of the grant file with no hard copies of any
documents being exchanged or provided. Therefore, prior to expiration, staff requested and
received from the FDOT a 3 month extension of this grant. However, because the term of the
original grant was approved by the Board of County Commissioners, it is necessary that the
Board authorize the extension as well.
RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Growth Management requests that the Board of
County Commissioners grant after-the-fact authorization for the 3-month extension of FY 14
Commuter Grant AQH83 (new expiration of 12/30/2014).

SUBJECT: Letters to Cities Regarding Public Transportation Funding
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board of County Commissioners must decide whether to
authorize the chairman to sign and send the attached letters to the municipalities requesting
assistance with transit funding.
BACKGROUND: While the Board of County Commissioners has funded transit operations for
FY 2015, discussions during the budget preparation cycle clearly indicate that the participation
of the various municipalities is essential to the continued operation of public transportation. The
attached letters request that the cities work with the County to establish a public transportation
cooperative through which the cities would be assured of input into the operation and provide
for their assistance in the funding of the public transportation system.
Each letter would be accompanied by the attached draft memorandum of agreement through
which the cooperative would be established. The letter notes that the proposed memorandum is
in draft form, and that the County is open to any suggestions or recommendations that would
enable the cities to enter into such an agreement.
OPTIONS: Approve or not approve the letters.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize the Chairman to sign the attached letters, and that the letters and draft memorandum of
agreement be sent to the municipalities

Re: Public Transit Service
Dear Mayor Adams:
For the last three years, the Board of County Commissioners has asked our municipal leaders to consider
including in their budgets funds to help the County pay for public transit service. In the months leading up
to the adoption of the FY 15 budget, there were a number of meetings between County and City staff
regarding the potential creation of a "transit cooperative" which would give the each participant input into
the operation and funding of the public transportation system. While these meetings did not produce an
agreement in time for the FY 2015 budget, the Board of County Commissioners sincerely hopes that such
an agreement may be reached in the upcoming year in time for the FY 2016 budget preparation cycle.
To this end, I respectfully request that you, and your professional staff, give serious consideration to the
attached memorandum of agreement and work with our staff to develop a transit cooperative that suits all
our needs including, most importantly, the citizens who depend on public transportation for their medical,
employment, and other needs. Please be aware that the attached memorandum is a draft, and be assured
that the Board of County Commissioners is willing to work with any suggestions or recommendations that
will enable us to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with our municipal partners.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration of this extremely important issue. If you have any
questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact our Growth Management Director, Elliot
Kampert, at 850- 651-7524.

Packet Pg. 471
D. In addition to the invoicing requirements contained in paragraphs 3.B. and C. above, the Department
will periodically request proof of a transaction (invoice, payroll register, etc.) to evaluate the
appropriateness of costs to the Agreement pursuant to State and Federal guidelines (including cost
allocation guidelines), as appropriate. This information, when requested, must be provided within
thirty (30) calendar days of such request. The Grantee may also be required to submit a cost
allocation plan to the Department in support of its multipliers (overhead, indirect, general
administrative costs, and fringe benefits). State guidelines for allowable costs can be found in the
Department of Financial Services' Reference Guide for State Expenditures at
http://www.fldfs.com/aadir/reference%5Fguide.
E. i. The accounting systems for all Grantees must ensure that these funds are not commingled
with funds from other agencies. Funds from each agency must be accounted for separately.
Grantees are prohibited from commingling funds on either a program-by-program or a
project-by-project basis. Funds specifically budgeted and/or received for one project may
not be used to support another project. Where a Grantee's, or subrecipient's, accounting
system cannot comply with this requirement, the Grantee, or subrecipient, shall establish a
system to provide adequate fund accountability for each project it has been awarded.
ii. If the Department finds that these funds have been commingled, the Department shall have
the right to demand a refund, either in whole or in part, of the funds provided to the Grantee
under this Agreement for non-compliance with the material terms of this Agreement. The
Grantee, upon such written notification from the Department shall refund, and shall
forthwith pay to the Department, the amount of money demanded by the Department.
Interest on any refund shall be calculated based on the prevailing rate used by the State

Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of expenditures by category
(salary, travel, expenses, etc.). Supporting documentation must be provided for each amount for which reimbursement
is being claimed indicating that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided in lieu of copies of actual
checks. Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in
the approved contract budget should be reimbursed.
Listed below are examples of the types of documentation representing the minimum requirements:
(I) Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register
should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an
individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document
reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the
employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe
benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of fringe
benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies
of checks for fringe benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida Statutes,
which includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher or electronic
means.
(4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. If nonexpendable property
is purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision for the transfer of
the property to the State when services are terminated. Documentation must be provided
to show compliance with Department of Management Services Rule 60A-l.017, Florida
Administrative Code, regarding the requirements for contracts which include services and
that provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in Section
273.02, Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the State.
(5) In-house charges: Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may be reimbursed
on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must be
reasonable.
(6) Indirect costs: If the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then the
calculation should be shown.
Contracts between state agencies, and or contracts between universities may submit alternative documentation to
substantiate the reimbursement request that may be in the form of FLAIR reports or other detailed reports.

AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jason Autrey
SUBJECT: Amendment to the Kelly Plantation Outparcel Infrastructure Agreement
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 5
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Will Dunaway, as agent for Synovus Bank, is requesting an
amendment to the Infrastructure Agreement for undeveloped outparcels at Kelly Plantation that
was previously approved on November 5, 2013. Due to permitting constraints with the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT), the request is to remove one of the proposed access
points from US 98 to the subject parcels.
BACKGROUND: On November 5, 2013 Synovus Bank entered into an Infrastructure
Agreement with Okaloosa County that required the development of turn lanes and internal access
roads as mitigation for concurrency impacts related to the development of four (4) outparcels at
Kelly Plantation. The proposed improvements were reviewed and approved by both the City of
Destin and County staff as appropriate for the anticipated impacts.
Following approval of the agreement, the engineer and agent for Synovus Bank met with FDOT
staff in an effort to obtain permits for the proposed improvements. However, due to the pending
expansion to US 98 in the project location, significant conflicts were found that essentially
prevented the construction of all five proposed turn lanes from the state right-of-way. As a result
it has been determined that removal of the easternmost proposed driveway (which was an access
drive to an individual parcel, right in, right out only) has been eliminated.
Furthermore, stormwater improvement requirements associated with the two remaining turn lane
improvements (all located at access roads that will or do connect US 98 to Commons Drive)
added costs that will be borne by the developer. Even with the reduction of the proposed
driveway connection, the net cost of improvements proposed to the public is essentially
unchanged. Based on the restrictions/requirements placed along the US 98 corridor, it is staff’s
opinion that the proposed amendment is equitable and reasonable.
The proposed Amended Infrastructure Agreement (attached) has been provided to the City of
Destin for their review and approval; a memo stating that there is no objection is included herein.
Counsel for the County has also reviewed the amendment and has no objections.
OPTIONS: Approve/Deny execution of the Amended Infrastructure Agreement with Synovus
Bank as requested by their agent, Will Dunaway.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve execution of the Amended Infrastructure Agreement with
Synovus Bank as requested by their agent, Will Dunaway.

Re: A m e n d e d T r a f f i c I n f r a s t r u c t u r e A g r e e m e n t - Synovus Bank
Dear Ms. Martinez:
Please find enclosed the Amended Transportation Infrastructure
Agreement ("Amended Agreement") signed by my client, Synovus Bank. Please
accept this as my client's formal submission for amended traffic concurrency for
its commercial properties (Parcels A l - 2 , 1B-1, 1B-2 & 3B), as more specifically
detailed in Composite Exhibit A, attached to the Agreement.
Synovus Bank worked closely with Okaloosa County and the City of Destin
on the original Traffic Infrastructure Agreement, which was approved and
executed by the County on November 5, 2013. Following approval, Synovus
Bank coordinated the plan with officials at the Florida Department of
Transportation ("FDOT"). Due to the stormwater constraints of this section of
Hwy. 98, the FDOT was unable to accommodate the fifth turn lane into Parcel
3B. This resulted in a redesign of the project to eliminate that turn. The
Amended Agreement is based on this redesiign. The traffic analysis and
revisions were conducted by Mr. Joe P. Poole, P.E. The number of trips did not
change and the approximate cost of the traffic improvements remain nearly the
same. Approval of this amendment effects only the development of Parcel 3B.
Synovus Bank wishes to finalize the enclosed Amended Agreement to
ensure development of its four parcels, including Parcel 3B. The County and
public will benefit by the traffic safety projects outline in the Amended
Agreement. We look forward to working closely with the County as the
Amended Agreement is processed for formal County approval.

AGENDA REQUEST

TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Rick Owen
SUBJECT: Opportunity Inc and Elder Services leased space
DEPARTMENT: County Administrator
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request the Board consideration and approval of a proposed plan to
allow Elder Services to maintain lease in current location at the old Fort Walton Beach hospital
and to allow staff to draft lease agreement for Opportunity Inc. to relocate administrative offices
to vacant space in the same facility.
BACKGROUND: In March of 2012, the county entered into a lease with Elder Services for
approximately 6,800 s.f. in the old FWB hospital. Then, in November 2012, the Board approved
funding to renovate another section of the facility to relocate Elder Services. Since that time,
Elder Services has requested to remain in the current occupied location.
Staff was approached by the Executive Director of Opportunity Inc. with a request to use the
space previously planned for Elder Services in the old FWB hospital for a desperately needed
location for the organization's administrative offices to facilitate expansion of homeless
apartments on Lovejoy Road.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of plan to allow Elder Services to
remain in their current location and allow staff to develop a lease agreement for Opportunity Inc.
to use space previously planned for Elder Services.
