The Future Water Supply program is one example of a project that may benefit in the future from Section 219 funding, but currently can’t because it would be considered an earmark. Federal Funding Issues • Support funding for the construction of the main entrance road at Bob Sikes Airport. • Request $4 million to upgrade Hare Street with curb, gutter, associated drainage and paving. Road serves as a southern access corridor from US Hwy 90 to the Bob Sikes Airport. • Request $2.5 million to convert Fairchild Road from the existing dirt road to a paved road with widened shoulders for stormwater management. Road serves as the primary north access point from Airport Road to Bob Sikes Airport. • Request $10 million to advance construction of the south segment of PJ Adams with roadway improvements (2 lane to 4 lane) from SR 85S to Wildhorse Drive. • Support funding of the Destin Airport Air Traffic Control Tower. • Request $20 million to advance construction of the south segment of SR123 with roadway improvements (2 lane to 4 lane) from north of SR85S to north of Toms Creek. • Support funding of Reclaim Water Opportunities. With the new state-of-the-art Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility in operation, we have the ability to supply reclaim water by adding a filter and transmission piping. Future opportunities exist to send reclaim water to Eglin, the Niceville Service Area, etc; however, funding is needed for these projects Packet Pg. 858 State Legislative Issues • Support legislation that would provide an equitable share of State DMV drivers licenses with the counties who are providing the drivers license services via the County Tax Collector offices • Support continued State Aid to Libraries. (Library Cooperative) • Oppose any legislation or rule that would change juvenile detention cost share assessment as determined by the recent DOAH order. (Corrections) • Support legislation that would have DJJ assuming responsibility for all secure juvenile detention – predisposition or otherwise. (Corrections) • Oppose any legislation that would increase the amount of time that a defendant would spend in custody before being placed on pre-trial release. (Corrections) • Oppose any legislation that would limit a defendant’s qualifications for pretrial release supervision or otherwise weaken pretrial services programs. (Corrections) • Support legislation that limits medical costs to 110% of the Medicare rate. (Corrections) • Support legislation that returns retirement age to 55 years and length of service to 25 years for Special Risk Class members. (Corrections) • Support the continuation of Coordinated Transportation Disadvantaged system and to avoid costly duplication of TD Systems (Growth Management) • To enhance and maintain the independence of the state’s five water management districts. Northwest Florida is facing totally different issues than South Florida related to water supply (Water & Sewer) • Oppose the Competitive Consultants Negotiations Act (CCNA). The current system is working great and does not need to be changed. Right now, we select the most qualified consultant for each particular project, and then negotiate to come to terms. If that were changed to make it price based, we could be severely affected by having to hire less-than- qualified engineering firms to perform critical infrastructure projects. To do this would be making the engineering profession a commodity (Water & Sewer) • Support legislation in favor of Self-Performing Construction Projects. The current legislation is transparent and does not need to be changed. If we desire to perform a construction project with our own crews valued at over $300,000, we need to have a Public Meeting to gain Board Approval after proving that self-performance is in the public’s best interest. We can perform the project faster, better, and more economical that contracting it out, in which contractors add markup, profit, per diem, etc. and the quality is often compromised by cutting corners. From year to year, there is proposed legislation that would prohibit self-performance of projects. Such a change to the current legislation would not be in the public’s best interest (Water & Sewer) Packet Pg. 859  2013 FAC Policy Conference Federal Committee Meeting Wednesday, September 18, 2013 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Sanibel Room, Marriott West Palm Beach Co-Chairs Co-Vice Chairs Lynda Bell, Miami-Dade County Tammy Hall, Lee County Doug Smith, Martin County Grover Robinson, Escambia County AGENDA 1:30 p.m. WELCOME & INTRODUCTIONS • Chairs & Vice Chairs 1:35 p.m. OVERVIEW OF FAC POLICY PROCESS • Eric Poole, FAC Assistant Legislative Director 1:40 p.m. OVERVIEW OF FAC FEDERAL PROGRAM • Deena Reppen, FAC Legislative Director 1:55 p.m. FEDERAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE NATION’S COUNTIES • Deborah Cox, Legislative Director, National Association of Counties 2:25 p.m. 2014 FAC FEDERAL
