COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S UPDATE
Mr. Hofstad stated he attended the FAC Policy Conference a few
weeks ago and learned from talking with his counterparts that
Okaloosa County is doing quite well in comparison to other
counties. He said many of those he spoke with had maxed out
their ad valorem and gas tax levies and were having problems
making ends meet.

NEW BUSINESS - PROPOSED LEASED SPACE ALLOCATION PLAN IN OLD FORT
WALTON BEACH HOSPITAL FOR OPPORTUNITY INC. AND ELDER SERVICES
The county entered into a lease with Elder Services in March
2012 for approximately 6,800 square feet. Mr. Hofstad explained
that in November 2012 the Board approved funding to renovate
another section of the old Fort Walton Beach Hospital and
relocate Elder Services to the renovated space. However, Elder
Services has requested to remain in their current location.
The Executive Director of Opportunity, Inc. has requested use of
the space previously planned for Elder Services for its
administrative offices. Mr. Hofstad reported the building can
accommodate both operations.
Mr. Parisot made motion, seconded by Mr. Amunds, to direct the
County Attorney to prepare a lease with Opportunity, Inc. for

too often. He questioned why people are not getting their
documents on the agenda in time. Mr. Parisot felt approval of
the documents should be by the entire Board and not one
individual commissioner. He pointed out this agenda request is
not only to ratify the Chairman’s signature on this amendment
but to authorize him to execute all future grant documents
during the term of the grant. Mr. Parisot felt these future
grant documents should be brought back to the Board for
approval.

following staff findings were giver:
4 *
* The proposed PLUM amendment is classified as a Type-1 plan
amendment which involves properties ten acres or more in
size, Type-L amendmants must be transmitted to the State
for state agency review.
e The current RR FLOM category permits single-family
dwellings and related uses at an allowable density of two
units to the acre. This density would allow up to 388
single - came? dwellings on the amendment site.
® The proposed LOR FIM categqary permits single-family
dwellings - and related uses at an allowahle density of four
units ta the acre. This density would allow up to 777
Single-family dwelling units on the amendment site.
® Evaluation quidelines and criteria for Type-1l amendments
are specified ain the Comprehensive Plan, Administration
Elament, Policy 2.iS.
Mo. Kampert expounded on the functional relationship of the
subject property to other more densely or intensely designated
or developed lands; the consistent character of the proposed
density established by the outward growth of the City of
Orestview. He said hecausea there is no mistake in the plan, the

justification for the amendment is demonstrated by an aerial
photograph which shows existing subdivisions south of I-10 are
substantially built out.
e 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.
e The applicant provided a letter dated January 23, 2014,
from a local realtor indicating a need for building lots in
the .25 acre to .35 acre size in the area south of I-10.
Attached to the letter is data from market Graphics
Southeast which shows demand for new homes in market area
MG 23 which is North Okaloosa County. However, according
to department records there have been 76 new subdivisions
approved in the MG 23 area from 2004-2013 with a total of
5,506 building lots.
e The Board approved this amendment for transmittal for state
agency review on July 1, 2014. No objections were raised
by an agency as a result of review.
Mr. Kampert stated the Planning Commission voted unanimously to
recommend approval at a public hearing held June 12, 2014.
There were no comments from the public or from the military
representative. He said staff has no objection to the proposed
amendment.
Questions were posed by the commissioners about the road serving
the property, traffic concurrency, and the impact on the school
system. Mr. Boyles noted there are challenges to be faced
regarding the landfill and borrow pits in the area. He then
made motion, seconded by Mr. Harris, to approve the requested
amendment to the FLUM designation as advertised. 5 yeas.

WATER & SEWER - USING CIP FUNDS “FREED UP” BY GRANT IN LIEU OF A
RATE ADJUSTMENT
Mr. Jeff Littrell, Water & Sewer System Director, stated staff
does not believe use of CIP funds freed up by grant money in
lieu of the scheduled October 1 rate adjustment is appropriate.
He said grant funds are always projects specific and diverting a
large number of dollars into the rate model in lieu of the
revenue from the scheduled FY 2015 rate adjustment is
problematic. Mr. Littell said he believes it is critical that
the department always use grant opportunities to increase the
funding to address the critically-aging infrastructure issues.
He reiterated the intent of grants for capital projects is not
to divert funds from infrastructure projects to operations and
maintenance (O&M) expenses. Mr. Littrell stated staff strongly
recommends that windfall grant opportunities for Water & Sewer
be used for aging infrastructure projects.
Mr. Parisot stated in 2011 when the five-year rate structure was
approved (Ordinance No. 11-12), the commissioners, “three of
whom are still sitting on the Board,” made a commitment to rate
users that the rate structure would be reviewed each year as
part of the budget input. He said that part of the budget was
not done and now the department says use of those freed-up grant
funds to reduce the rate is inappropriate. Mr. Parisot stated
the commissioners owe it to the customers to review this, saying
they are accountable when they make commitments.
Continuing, Mr. Parisot was of the opinion the annual analysis
in September was poorly done. He said the rate structure was
not included as part of the agenda item and he still does not
know the impact. Mr. Parisot told the department head he must
give the Board an opportunity to look at the impacts.
Mr. Boyles asked Mr. Parisot exactly what he was looking for in
the analysis he requested. Mr. Parisot answered he has not seen
the document prepared by Burton and Associates (consultant). He
also stated that previously the Board waived rate increases for
FY 2010 and FY 2011.
Mr. Boyles stated the idea of seeking grant funds is not to
offset the O&M costs of our program. He said grant funds should
be used to accelerate the capital projects. Mr. Boyles stated
the five-year plan is for advance planning and not an annual
knee-jerk process. He added that he has heard no comments from
the citizens on the rates.
October 7, 2014 -8- Minute Book 72, Page 8
Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners
Mr. Harris said an assessment every year is a compelling
argument but he feels grants should be used for their designated
purpose and not to play a shell game. He stated he agrees with
Mr. Boyles and does not feel any action is needed.
Mr. Amunds commented about the department head walking the hall
to discuss most items and feels he should let the commissioners
know how well the five-year plan is doing. He said integrity is
important and he understands what Mr. Parisot is saying;
however, he feels a grant given for a specific reason should be
used for that purpose.
Mr. Littrell stated staff prepares a Revenue Sufficiency
Analysis each year. He advised the consultant comes in and it
is reviewed with staff. Mr. Littrell said the budget is
prepared each year with the understanding this analysis is
performed.
Mr. Windes stated the consensus of the Board is to take no
action.
WATER & SEWER - FDEP GRANT AGREEMENT FOR OKALOOSA ISLAND/WRIGHT
AREA GRAVITY SEWER REHAB PROJECT
Mr. Littrell stated this project was made available by a line
item appropriation by the Legislature. It is a Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) grant in the
amount of $450,000 for the Okaloosa Island/Wright Area Gravity
Sewer Rehabilitation Project. Mr. Amunds made motion, seconded
by Mr. Boyles, to authorize the Chairman to execute the grant
documents. 5 yeas.
PURCHASING - RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD BID FOR TANGLEWOOD/
OVERBROOK STORMWATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Mrs. Zan Fedorak, Purchasing Manager, stated three bids were
received on September 11, 2014, for the Tanglewood/Overbrook
Stormwater Improvement Project. Staff recommends the bid be
awarded to the low bidder, H&T Contractors, with a bid of
$401,621.50. Mr. Harris made motion, seconded by Mr. Amunds, to
award the bid to H&T Contractors. 5 yeas.

The TDD Operations & Procedures Manual makes provision for the
Board to @eercisé an option to desiaqnate the Chairman and Vice

seconded by Mr. Amunds, to approve the department head's
recommendation to reject all bids and rebid. 5 yeas.

Mr. Harman requested approval to solicit bids for the

servicing the proposed location were insufficient and the
project architectural engineering firm had to revise the plans
and specifications, Although the Board approved the award of
the contract for this project to Birkshire, Inc. in December
2013, there were concerns about the low bidder’s ability to
perform and deliver the project on schedule. Mr. Harman said
they did not feel it was in the best interest of the county to
issue a Notice to Proceed but instead to rebid the project. Mr.
Harris made motion, seconded by Mr. Parisot, to approve the
recommendation of the department head and to advertise for bide
on this project. 5 yeas.

Mr, Bill Cox, Crestview, asked for the status on the PJ Adams
Parkway widening project. He said he is on the citizens‘
advisory board for the OWTFO. Mr, Cox stated all the
information "out there’ for the public shows the project is
behind schedule. He referred to the amount of grant funds the
county has received and said the FY 2015 budget shows “0%” on
the project.
My. Autrey replied the county has received a $2.2 Million grant
with a 50/50 match, saying that was in the budget last year, He
explained that instead of carrying over the funds, they were
left in the project account, Mr, Autrey said at the next
meeting he will return with a scope of services for a consultant
to design the project, He noted the largest part of the funds
is for right-of-way acquisition.
Mr. Harris commented that parts of this road are in very poor
condition and require more than a band-aide. Mr. Autrey said
there will be minor resurfacing, adding they do not want to
throw good money after bad.
Mr. Cox said he understands there is $150,000 for an emergency
overlay for Pd Adams Parkway and a like amount will be placed in
the FY 2015 budget. Mr. Hofetad responded the south leg of the
road is falling apart and the county has a responsibility to
maintain safe access. Mr. Cox asked that the public be provided
with better information on the project.
