personnel. He stated he does not agree with use of
taxpayers’ dollars to pay for family coverage. Mr. Amunds
pointed out the Board agreed at the Final Budget Hearing to the
compromise for use of the LETF monies. He pointed out that once
the funds are allocated to the Sheriff Office, the Sheriff has
discretion over how they are used and the Board cannot tell him
what to do with those funds. Mr. Harris stated he will support

are being used.
Mr. Parisot said in FY 2008 it was noted there was a wide
difference in benefit programs for the employees of the Tax
Collector’s and Sheriff’s Offices as opposed to the BCC and
other Constitutional Offices. He stated there was discussion
about having all Constitutional Officers get together with the
Board and try to come up with a uniform benefit policy but that
was never done. Mr. Parisot stated he wants to know who is
getting the extra benefits in the Sheriff’s Office.
Mr. Harris made motion, seconded by Mr. Parisot, to approve the

A.M.)
Mr. Stanford read the advertised legal notice for public hearing
to receive comments on proposed reductions in the fixed route
services for Okaloosa County Transit WAVE.
Mr. Elliot Kampert, Growth Management Director, stated the
Board’s action to allocate funding for the fixed routes at the

hearing.
Mr. Amunds opened the floor for any public comment. No one came

is needed to discuss this issue. He advised that he would like
to have a discussion on this subject soon.
Mr. Harris stated that he has a meeting with Mr. Kampert and
Okaloosa County Transit (OCT) representatives on Thursday. One
of the topics they will be discussing is bus fares.
Mr. Amunds stated the contact person on this issue should be the
liaison commissioner for that department and that commissioner
should bring the issue to the Board.
PUBLIC SAFETY – AMENDMENT TO PAWS CONTRACT
Attachment: October 2 minutes (1132 : October 2 Meeting Minutes)
Mr. Dino Villani, Public Safety Director, stated during the
budget process the allocation was cut to the Panhandle Animal
Welfare Society (PAWS) for animal control services. This cut
resulted in PAWS providing full service four days a week (Monday
through Thursday) and only emergency services for the remainder
of the week (Friday through Sunday). He advised that Dr. Karen
Chapman, Director of the Okaloosa County Health Department, has
offered to reduce the Health Department budget by $18,640 and
requests those funds be directed to the PAWS contract to restore
full services. Mr. Villani requested to: (1) approve a budget
amendment for the Health Department by reducing that budget by
$18,640; (2) apply the $18,640 from the Health Department to the
PAWS contract; and (3) approve Amendment No. 1 to the PAWS
contract to restore full services with the increased allocation.
Mr. Harris made motion, seconded by Mr. Roberts, to approve Mr.
Villani’s recommendations as cited above. Mr. Curry noted the
Health Department had additional State funds which allowed Dr.
Chapman to make this offer. 4 yeas.
AIRPORTS – SEPTEMBER 18, 2012 FAA GRANT APPROVAL
Mr. Greg Donovan, Airports Director, stated at the September 18

rehabilitation of the north public parking lot at Northwest
Florida Regional Airport. The actual document did not arrive
until after the meeting. He stated the document arrived on
September 20, the Chairman executed it, and it was returned to
FAA in a timely fashion. This item was provided for information
only. Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Harris, to ratify
the Chairman’s signature on the document. 4 yeas.

AIRPORTS – UPDATE ON DESTIN AIRPORT
Mr. Donovan reported that he met with the Destin City Council
last night to provide them with an update on the Destin Airport.
Attachment: October 2 minutes (1132 : October 2 Meeting Minutes)
The runway at the Destin Airport is vintage 1963. It will be
replaced with new paving, new lights, signage and edge lights
will be installed. The runway will be closed for seven days for
the work sometime in the November to January timeframe. The
Airports staff is also working with tenants and FBOs at the
facility for this work.
Additionally, Mr. Donovan stated he has received a verbal
authorization from FAA to move forward with a traffic control
tower. Money is to be taken from the trust fund for an
environmental assessment. Mr. Donovan anticipates the
environmental assessment to take sixteen months to complete.
Once that is completed, the next step is design, and then build.
TOURIST DEVELOPMENT – TASK ORDER NO. 3 WITH LEWIS COMMUNICATIONS
Mr. Daniel O’Bryne, Tourist Development Director, stated he
would like to make a correction to the agenda request which
states Task Order No. 2 is being submitted for approval. He
said a minor task order was approved by the Purchasing
Department as Task Order No. 2 and the correct number for this
task order with Lewis Communications totaling $60,698.76 should
be Task Order No. 3. Mr. O’Bryne noted this will be the final
task order from Lewis Communications.
Mr. Harris made motion to approve Task Order No. 3 with Lewis
Communications. Mr. Parisot said he will second the motion with
a stipulation that payment be held until Lewis Communications
provides all documentation to close out this contract. Mr.
Harris accepted this stipulation. 4 yeas.

TOURIST DEVELOPMENT – TASK ORDER NO. 3 WITH ZIMMERMAN AGENCY
Mr. O’Bryne advised a correction is also needed on this item.
The agenda request correctly identifies the document as Task
Order No. 3 but the document submitted by Zimmerman identifies
it as Task Order No. 4. He stated Zimmerman incorrectly
numbered the document and this task order should be identified
as Task Order No. 3 which is for $51,103.33 and reflects
invoices for the months of July and August 2012. Mr. O’Bryne
said there will be one more task order from Zimmerman for
services for the month of September 2012.
Mr. Parisot stated he will move to approve Task Order No. 3 with
