VISITOR – STEVE MENCHEL, SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS Mr. Steve Menchel said he attended the January 22 meeting and wanted to share his thoughts about School Resource Officers (SROs) but after waiting three hours he left without speaking. He wanted to speak on ways to pay for this cost which included use of retired law enforcement officers and use of part-time employees. Mr. Menchel suggested the deputies who were laid off because of prior year budget cuts be given the first right of refusal on these positions. He also asked about the use of the Sheriff’s posse. Other suggestions were for the use of non- armed volunteers and encouraging parents to man the entrances to the schools. Mr. Menchel also requested reconsideration of protocol which sets aside public commentary at the end of the meetings. With regard to an internal probe on the TDC fraud investigation, he asked for the Board to schedule a public briefing for citizens on the county’s findings.

BACKGROUND: Mr. Walter Francis Spence was a tireless supporter of a bridge across Choctawhatchee Bay for decades before the creation of the Mid-Bay Bridge Authority in 1986. He was a Member of the Mid-Bay Bridge Authority in 1990-1991, and again from 1999-2005, and also served as its Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Spence's biography is attached for further consideration. The Authority seeks support for Florida Senate and House of Representative legislation designating a portion of State Road 293 from the Mid-Bay Bridge Toll Plaza north of Choctawhatchee Bay (SR 293, MP 4.75) to its intersection with State Highway 85 (SR 293, MP 15.38) as the “Walter Francis Spence Parkway” and directing that suitable markers be placed to indicate such designation.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolution supporting the designation of the Mid-Bay Bridge Connector as the “Walter Francis Spence Parkway”.
