11. Growth Management: OCT Task Order #61 for reimbursement of
operating costs for fixed route and paratransit services
Mr. Goodwin stated he has two questions: (1) Was the money for
Task Order #61 previously budgeted by the Commission? and (2)
Is the funding commensurate with the level of service required
by the Board?
Mr. Elliot Kampert, Growth Management Director, responded by
saying the Board begins looking at it budget in February. He
stated public transportation, fixed route and paratransit
services are provided by Okaloosa County Transit (OCT). Mr.
Kampert said the amount budgeted for transportation reflects the
local match required by state and federal granting agencies. He
stated when the Board approves the budget, it 1is approving
transportation as proposed by OCT. OCT must remit monthly bills
and provide supporting documents. With regard to 1level of
service, Mr. Kampert advised that is established by ridership,
the economy, and approved routes.
Upon further inquiry by Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Kampert stated the
routes are established by what we can afford. He said there are
December 16, 2014 -5- Minute Book 72, Page 76
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
eleven routes plus paratransit. In response to another question
from Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Kampert confirmed the routes and budget is
preplanned and set aside. Mr. Goodwin made motion, seconded by
Mrs. Ketchel, to approve Item #11. 5 vyeas.
COUNTY EXTENSION - NEW STAFFING PLAN
Mr. Larry Williams, County Extension Director, requested
approval to add one County Extension Agent position as part of a
new cooperative staffing plan agreement between the University
of Florida and Okalocsa and Walton Counties. He explained that
during the summer of 2014, Walton County had an open Agriculture
Extension Agent position and Okaloosa County had an open Family
& Consumer Sciences (FCS) Extension position. A new cooperative
staffing plan was discussed for an Agriculture Extension Agent
position and FCS Agent position to become multicounty positions.
Mr. Williams stated there would be no additional costs in salary
for either Okaloosa or Walton Counties with this proposal. He
explained that instead of Okaloosa paying 40% for one position
the split would be 60% University of Florida, 20% Okaloosa
County, and 20% Walton County. Mr. Williams vreported the
University of Florida has conceptually approved the plan which
will be viewed as a pilot program. Mr. Harris made motion,
seconded by Mr. Boyles, to approve the new staffing plan for
County Extension. 5 yeas.
