1-Update on B P and C lean Water Act fine money - Co mm issioner Parrish and I participated in a
teleconference on W ed. Dec. 1 to discuss with FAC and the 8 impacted Florida counties the
progress being made in Congress on assessing BP through the Clean W ater Act, and then having
those fines dedicated to the impacted Gu lf Coast. The summa ry is that progress is slow and
strewn with hurdles. The current version of the House bill dedicates a percentage of the moneyto the impacted counties. If the Bill is ever approved by Con gress the local governme nt will have
to create something called a RESTO RE coun cil which would make recommendations to the local
government on projects to be funded. The local government would have final authority.
The other topic discussed was the N RD A projects. At this time DE P and BP are negotiating with
no local input on what NRDA projects to approve. The first round of projects to be reviewed is
artificial reef projects. We were told on the conference call that BP and DEP are using artificial
reef projects as a way to test a formula being developed for how much environmental credit BP
will be given as each project is funded. Other projects that counties have submitted are still in
the hopper for future funding.
Commissioner Parrish said the first round of NRDA projects have been approved and the
approved projects will be announced in late December 2011 or January 2012. He said BP will
have the final authority on approval of all of these projects. He explained how the credits work
and gave more insight on the artificial reef project.
Recess (10:40 AM)
Chairman Jackel called for a recess.
Reconvene (10:41 AM)
Chairman Jackel reconvened the Meeting.
Mr. Pierce resumed his report.
2- As the Board is aw are Comm issioner Parrish has been the Board's contact on the BP issue and
coordination with the 8 impacted counties. Under the leadership of the larger counties to the
west, the Board has been presented several times with a joint Resolution supporting the
wording in the federal legislation that seeks federal fines and penalties to be sent back to the
impacted Gulf coast. Based upon status report at the last conference call, and the fact that the
counties to the west of us are asking for prompt action on the current version, Board action on
Joint Resolution requesting Federal support for legislation directing the distribution of Clean
Water fine money.
Commissioner Parrish provided additional information on this issue. He said he believes the
Board needs to move forward on signing the Joint Resolution.

Motion by Sanders, seconded by Putnal, to authorize Chairman Jackel's signature on the Joint
Resolution requesting Federal support for Legislation directing the distribution of Clean
Water fine money; Motion carried 5-0.
3- Confirmation from Commissioner Parrish that the Board should pay the $2500 invoice from
the FAC for its share of coordinating with the 8 impacted counties. The Board approved
payment contingent upon Commissioner Parrish making sure the other counties were also
paying their share. The Board has a letter from the FAC asking for verification it will pay by Dec.
31. Board direction based upon Commissioner Parrish's recommendation.
The Board agreed with the previous decision to pay Franklin County's share of $2,500 for the
invoice to the FAC.
4- Board action to appoint two representatives to the Small County Coalition.
Motion by Parrish, seconded by Putnal, to appoint Commissioners Sanders and Lockley to
serve as representatives for the Small County Coalition; Motion carried 5-0.
5- Board action to appoint a new representative to the ARPC to replace Chairman Jackel. The
ARPC meets four times a year in Tallahassee. The next meeting is Friday, January 27, 2012.
Commissioner Sanders stated that she would attend the next meeting to represent the Board
but would like another Commissioner to serve on a more permanent basis as her schedule is
full.
Chairman Jackel stated other members on the ARPC who represent the County. The Board
discussed this further.
Motion by Parrish, seconded by Putnal, to authorize Commissioner Sanders to attend the
January 27, 2012 ARPC Meeting; Motion carried 5-0.
6- Inform the Board that the State Energy Office has finally approved the county's bid package
for the solar panels on the Courthouse Annex, and the window replacement/repair in the
Courthouse. The bids are currently being advertised and will be opened at the Jan. 3 Board
meeting. Mark Curenton is handling this project as there are numerous federal requirements
that must be met.
7- Board action to approve change in speed limit on Twin Lakes Road. Clay Kennedy, Preble-Rish
Engineers, and I inspected Twin Lakes Road, Old Ferry Dock and Avenue A roads in response to
the Board's concern about an inconsistency in speed limits on those two roads. It is our
recommendation that Twin Lakes Road, Old Ferry Dock, and Avenue A have a posted speed limit
of 35 mph. Otter Slide would stay at 25 mph because it has a sharp curve in it, and it also has
several road intersections. Provide Board with copy of map.

This item was discussed earlier in the Meeting.
8- Board action on requested road cuts by Eastpoint Sewer and Water District. As the Board is
aware the District has been slowly moving through a system upgrade funded by both a CDBG
grant and a Rural Development grant/loan. At the August 18th, 2009 Board meeting, County
Engineer Dan Rothwell recommended the Board allow the District to cut Avenue A at 4th St, and
at the Otter Slide intersection to allow the installation of new pipes. The Board granted the road
cut and provided the District with specifications on how it is to be repaired.
Sometime around November 16, 2011, the District started to cut Ridge Road in 10 places
as part of this same system upgrade. The Board had not granted any road cuts to Ridge Road.
In a series of meetings with the County Attorney, the District Attorney, myself, and other District
representatives, the District has agreed to apply for a utility permit for the 10 road cuts on Ridge
Road, 1 road cut on Wilderness Road, and 2 road cuts on David Street to service the new
vacuum station. I have visited the site, consulted with Clay Kennedy, and Clay Kennedy has
consulted with the District's contractor, Royal American. Clay Kennedy agrees that at this point
in the project the only feasible thing to do is allow the road cuts. Clay Kennedy has provided me
with a drawing that meets state standards for road cuts and I have provided that to the District.
If the Board agrees to the road cuts the cuts will be repaired in the manner required by Preble-
Rish. The County Attorney and the District Attorney have discussed what additional safeguards
are in place in the event the road cuts do not hold up. According to George Allen, Eastpoint
representative, the contractor, Royal American, will be on the job for another year and so if the
cuts do not Royal American will be required to fix them again. Board action.
The Board, Mr. Pierce, Attorney Shuler, and Clay Kennedy, of Preble-Rish, discussed these cuts
and how it affects the quality of the road. Mr. Kennedy explained what standards Preble-Rish
has in place to try and insure that the road is built back to the quality it was before it was cut.Chairman Jackel stated that Debbie Belcher had confirmed that the EPWS has no funding to
repave the roads after the cut.
Commissioner Sanders stated that if EPWS doesn't have the funds for a letter of credit they
shouldn't be allowed to cut the roads.
Attorney Shuler stated the procedure that should be used to grant the permit, which would
require a bond or a letter of credit.
Chairman Jackel suggested that a letter of credit be required before a permit is granted.
Commissioner Lockley and Attorney Shuler discussed any liability to the County regarding
damage to vehicles due to cuts to these roads.
The Board, Attorney Shuler and Mr. Kennedy discussed this matter further.
Commissioner Parrish suggested that something be put in place to address this type of
situation, unauthorized cutting of roads, that might occur in the future.
George Allen, of EPWS, explained that there were three permits requested for Board action. He
discussed this matter further and asked the Board to clarify what type of letter of credit is
required.
Attorney Shuler stated that he will confer with the EPWS attorney on the requirements of the
letter of credit or bond.

The Board and Mr. Allen discussed the details of this issue.
Motion by Sanders, seconded by Lockley, to authorize all three permits, along with the
submission of a bond or a letter of credit and that road is repaired to the condition it was in,
prior to cuts, according to statutory standards; Motion carried 5-0.
9- Airport Update. Mr. Bruce McCormack, ARTIC Company-which stands for Apalach Regional
Training Complex, has submitted a draft lease for the new hanger at the airport. He is seeking
Board action for a lease to be signed by Dec. 15th . I have advised him that he is operating on a
very short window. I have asked Mr. McCormack to be here to discuss his proposal.
The problem is that the building Mr. McCormack would like to lease was part of the RFP that
the Airport Advisory Committee is reviewing for next FBO. Mr. McCormack did not respond to
the RFP so the Airport Committee has not received a proposal from Mr. McCormack to review.
Mr. Pierce explained that he told Mr. Naggiar, of ARTIC, that instead of them leasing a hangar,
the County could give them a lease for land at the airport and they could have a building built
to their specifications.
Mr. Ed Naggiar, Director of ARTIC, explained what his company would like to do and stated that
he did speak to Mr. Pierce during the break and agreed with Mr. Pierce's recommendation of
leasing land at the airport and building their own facility.
The Board and Mr. Naggiar discussed the possibility of an interim agreement.
Commissioner Parrish stated some of his concerns with this agreement, due to local residents
not meeting the qualifications for job descriptions, and the possibility of having to re-bid the
hangar and FBO uses.
Mr. Naggiar discussed job opportunities associated with ARTIC, such as range technicians. He
said these jobs would mainly be in the woods and not in an office setting.Commissioner Sanders asked Mr. Naggiar to be cautious about military type training and the
effect it has on County residents.
Commissioner Lockley and Mr. Naggiar discussed funding and training for these potential jobs,
including a local preference for available positions.
Motion by Sanders, seconded by Lockley, to direct Attorney Shuler, Mr. Pierce and the
Airport committee to confer with ARTIC to consider an interim agreement and report back to
the Board with a plan; Motion carried 5-0.
10- Board action on items tabled from last meeting:
A) Tabled a request for a Single Family Private dock at 1301 US Hwy 98. The Board
tabled the item for further discussion about public access to the water in that area. I have
visited the site and have an additional concern. While the site plan presented indicates there is
some 16 feet of private land that the dock would attach to it is my observation that the private
land has eroded and the dock would attach to the DOT right of way. A current survey needs to
be provided or some indication that DOT is consenting to a dock connecting to their ROW.

Dan Garlick withdrew Item A for consideration.
Attorney Shuler provided some information on this item and suggested a new survey if this
item is ever considered by the Board.
B)Tabled a request for a Single Family Private dock at 578 River Road, Carrabelle,
contingent upon Commissioner Putnal concurring that the dock would not obstruct navigation.
Commissioner Putnal commented on this item and said he requested that a PVC pipe is put
near the location to mark the edge of the shoal in the area.
Motion by Putna l, second ed by Parrish, to approve a single family private dock at 578 River
Road in Carrabelle; Motion carried 5-0.
C) Tabled a request for a Multi-Family Dock at Grace Bay Subdivision, St. George Island,
pending a review by the County Attorney.
Attorney Shuler stated that he reviewed this request and recommended approval.
Chairman Jackel agreed with Attorney Shuler's recommendation.
Motion by San ders, seconded by Putnal, to approve a multi-family dock at Grace Bay
Subdivision on St. George Island; Mo tion carried 5-0.
D)Tabled a variance request for an On-site Sewage Disposal for the address of 2606 W
Hwy 98 Carrabelle. The current owner is Mr. Zurawaka.
Attorney Shuler stated that he reviewed this request and recommended approval.
Motion by S anders, seconded by P utnal, to approve request for an on-site sewage disposal at
2606 W. Hw y 98, Carrabelle; Motion carried 5-0.
11- Community Health Survey update. The second meeting of the Community Health Survey
was held in Apalachicola on Dec. 1. The consultants presented their findings and I provided a
copy for the Board file.
Chairman Jackel asked Staff to send a letter to NACO thanking them for their efforts in the
County.
Chairman Jackel also discussed the meetings that were held to discuss the surveys. She said the
Board received some valuable tools of information regarding what needs to be done in terms of
a future plan for taking care of the health needs of the citizens of Franklin County.
12- Hosp. Update. On Friday, Dec. 2, I received a letter of resignation from Ms. Gayle Dodds
from her position as an at-large appointment to the Hosp. Board effective immediately. An at-

large seat means the appointment can be from anywhere in the county. While the Hospital by-
laws call for the Hospital Board to make a recommendation to the county commission on
appointments, to my knowledge there is not a list of interested people wanting to serve. The
commission may choose to advertise in order to create such a list. Mr. Paul Marxsen's seat, an
appointment from Commissioner Sanders, expired in November. Commissioner Sanders says
she intends to replace Mr. Marxsen with a new appointment. The next Hosp. Board meeting is
not until Jan. 5.
The Board discussed this matter and agreed to give the Hospital Board an opportunity to
present some names to the BOCC for new appointments.
Chairman Jackel stated some financial items discussed at the last Hospital Board Meeting,
which she attended. She thought that the BOCC needed to look at ways to help the Hospital
get more current on payment for some of the vendors and believes the Board needs to pay
closer attention to the finances of the hospital operation.
The Board discussed these items further.
Commissioner Putnal commended Ms. Cindy Drapel on her efforts as the interim CEO and
discussed some of the problems facing the Hospital.
Chairman Jackel agreed that the hospital is doing a good job and other businesses in the County
should promote the Hospital.
Commissioner Sanders said the County's partnership with TMH is vital in their role of support
for the Hospital. She said she is quite pleased with how things are going at the Hospital right
now.
Commissioner Lockley stated that he would like to have TMH provide a better billing system for
the Hospital.
13- Inform Board that Ms. Kim Bodine, Gulf Coast Workforce Board Executive Director, will becontacting each commissioner to discuss proposals by the legislature that will change the
function and structure of all Workforce Boards.
14- Inform Board that it has received notice from the Public Service Commission that Water
Management Services is seeking a water rate increase for St. George Island.
15- County Coordinator job description, advertising, and salary range.
Mr. Pierce distributed a job description for the Board's review.
Commissioner Sanders and Mr. Pierce discussed the need for applicants to have experience
with planning and zoning requirements.
Commissioner Putnal was not in favor of labeling the job description as a County Manager
position, which would allow them to make decisions for the Board.
The Board discussed some of the duties listed and preferred having a Commissioner represent
them at the Hospital Board meetings instead of the County Coordinator and asked that this
portion be removed from the job description. They would like to add additional duties, as
assigned by the BOCC, to the job description.

Commissioner Sanders stated that she would like to add strong financial experience to the job
description.
The Board agreed to keep the job title as a County Coordinator and to require a four year
degree or equivalent experience as stated.
The Board agreed to add building management as a job description and also agreed to a salary
range of $40,000 to $50,000.
Commissioner Parrish suggested that experience in dealing with the general public and
representing the Board is an important item.
Motion by Sanders, seconded by Putnal, to accept the County Coordinator job description as

1.Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Trustees Call for Public Input on Early Restoration of the Gulf - Sixty-day public comment period for Draft Phase 1 Early Restoration Plan — The Deepwater Horizon Natural
Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Trustees (Trustees) today released the Deepwater Horizon Draft Phase
I Early Restoration Plan & Environmental Assessment (DERP/EA) for formal public comment. It is the first in an
anticipated series of plans to begin restoration of the Gulf of Mexico to compensate for natural resource
injuries, including the loss of human use of Gulf resources, from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
The DERP/EA describes the initial projects proposed to receive funding from the $1 billion Early Restoration
agreement announced by the Trustees and BP on April 21, 2011, called the Framework Agreement. The
Trustees will hold 12 public meetings in January and February 2012 throughout Gulf Coast communities and in
Washington, D.C. to solicit formal public comment on the DERP/EA.
The DERP/EA describes eight proposed projects for the initial round of Early Restoration, two each in
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi. These projects reflect the ideas and input received by the
Trustees through project solicitation and outreach efforts. The proposed projects include shoreline marsh
creation, coastal dune habitat restoration, nearshore artificial reef creation, oyster cultch restoration and
construction of boat ramp facilities. The total estimated cost of the proposed initial suite of projects is more
than $57 million. The projects in the Florida Deepwater Horizon DERP/EA are: • Florida Boat Ramp
Enhancement and Construction - Escambia County, Florida; four boat ramp facilities; benefitting human use in
Escambia County, Florida; estimated cost: $4,406,309. & • Florida (Pensacola Beach) Dune Restoration -
Escambia County, Florida; 20 acres of coastal dune habitat; benefitting coastal dune habitat in Escambia
County, Florida; estimated cost: $585,898.
Visit www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov to view the DERP/EA, access public meeting details, and view
additional details of the proposed Early Restoration projects and ways to submit public comment. The public

appropriations.
The initiative comprises two grant programs: the Industry Recruitment & Expansion Fund (IREF) and the
Innovation & Entrepreneurship Fund (IEF). The IREF will supplement state and local economic incentives for
medium and large enterprises locating or expanding operations in the eight-county region. The IEF will target

funds to businesses that expand or locate in the eight-county region which are likely to serve as catalysts for
growth of existing industry or significantly affect the regional economy.
SELECTION CRITERIA
In making grant awards, the following factors will be considered:
A.Ability of project to promote and support research and development, commercialization of research,
economic diversification, and job creation within one or more Disproportionally Affected County.
B.Economic significance of the expected outcomes from activities to one or more Disproportionally Affected
County.
C.The cumulative amount of investment to be dedicated to the project within a specified period in a
Disproportionally Affected County.
D. Number of net new, private sector, full-time equivalent jobs created. Alternatively, this criterion may be
satisfied by estimating commercialization potential of proposed research and development activities.
E.Sustainability (i.e., permanence) of net new, private sector, full-time equivalent jobs created.
F.Return on investment.
3. Living in the Panhandle Live Field Trips 2112 — Attached, please find a flier announcing the dates of a new
program being sponsored by the NW Extension District Natural Resource Program Implementation Team. The
program comprises of a series of day-long educational field trips to see first-hand many of the outstanding
natural resource areas we have in the FL Panhandle. The tour has several stops in our immediate area and
includes a stop in Tate's Hell Forest on October 11, to view wildflowers. The first is on January 18 — Leon Sinks.4. Beekeeping in the Panhandle — Our beekeeping classes are half-way done and we are on a break until next
year. Last week we went to Chipley for the Beekeeping Trade Show. Over 220 people attended. We are
already having discussions about planning an annual Beekeeping Trade Show for the Panhandle. The next
class is on January 09th 2012, Jan 9 - Honey Plants & Pollination.
5. The Great Goliath Grouper Count —The Goliath Grouper population in Florida has been making the news. For
the past two-years there has been a joint FL Sea Grant, FWC program in SW FL to have teams of volunteers to
go out on a specific day and document the location of Goliath Groupers on artificial reefs. This year they
would like to begin expanding the survey area and Franklin County has been asked to join in the 2012 Great
Goliath Grouper Count. I am currently working with my Advisory Committee members to identify people who
are interested in being trained and participate in the count.

6. Holiday Celebrations Minus Balloon Release s Best for Flor ida Wildl ife - As people gather together for
occasions that make the holidays bright, remember that releasing balloons may be harmful to wildlife.
The FWC wants event and meeting organizers and other Floridians to be aware of a law prohibiting the
release of more than nine lighter-than-air balloons within a 24-hour period.
Instead of releasing balloons this holiday season, the FWC suggests groups use more environmentally friendly
ways to celebrate events such as New Year's Eve and football bowl games.
The release into the atmosphere of large numbers of balloons inflated with lighter-than-air gases poses a
danger and nuisance to the environment, particularly to wildlife and marine animals. Balloons released in
Florida almost inevitably end up in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean or other water bodies. Wildlife,
especially sea turtles, mistake balloons for food, and strings attached to balloons can entangle birds and other
animals.
7. Next FWC Meeting — Is February 8 & 9, 2112 in Tallahassee.

Report to the Board of County CommissionersDecember 20, 2011
1- Inform Board that the first selections have been announced for the NRDA projects. Ininternal NRDA decision making, it was decided that the first round of projects would
consist of only 2 projects for each state. Each state is still assured of receiving $100M infunding but for some reason the trustees limited approvals to 2 projects per state. The 2projects approved for Florida represented $5M worth of funding, and both projects arelocated in Escambia County- a $4.4M Boat Ramp Enhancement and Construction projectand a $585K Dune Restoration Project. None of the other counties received any fundsnor was there any announcement of when additional approvals may occur.
Independently, Franklin County's Apalachicola Bay Oyster Industry Restorationdid receive some good news. An independent environmental group, The Gulf FutureCoalition, did a review of all the 160 NRDA projects that had met the qualifications forearly funding. The group, with a website called gulffuture.org, has made a publicannouncement of their top 6 projects that should be funded and one of their six is
Franklin County's oyster project. We can only wait to see if their support will impactfuture awards.
2- Provide the Board with the final work product from the Community Health Surveyprocess. It is the responses generated at the Dec. 1 community forum. It is a 3 pagereport summarizing the discussion. The letter thanking NACo has already been sent.
3- Inform the Board that while the residents of the county have been the beneficiary of the Board's involvement in NACo and the NACo drug card program, now the FAC andNACO are discussing a restructuring of the program where participating counties, such asFranklin, may see some financial benefit in promoting the program in the county.
4- In anticipation of my retirement I am making a switch in planning and zoning duties.For the past several years, Amy Kelly has been preparing the P and Z agenda, and
attending the meetings to take minutes while I made the presentation. Amy would thenwrite up the action and create the consent agenda for the Board meeting. Starting inJanuary I am having Amy now make the presentations, and Rachel Ward will attend andtake the minutes. I see this as a step in the development of Amy in the planning andzoning field. In 3 years Rachel will conclude her DROP program and will have to retire,and Roxie Allen will most likely retire in 2 years.
While the state of Florida has minimized the role of comprehensive planning,Franklin County and all other counties still have zoning codes and rules which guide
development and need to be followed. In the next few years, while Rachel and Roxie arestill working, Amy needs to be given an opportunity to develop her skill of explainingand presenting the zoning code. On complicated issues, the Board will still have Mark Curenton as an employee, and on legal issues, Mr. Shuler.
5- Inform the Board that I have submitted a reimbursement to FEMA for $309K for thecost of acquiring that part of Tom Roberts Road that runs through South Shoal. FEMAhas been paying out in about six weeks so hopefully by the beginning of February the
8/3/2019 Dec 20 2011
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dec-20-2011 32/66
Board will know if FEMA has any problems with the reimbursement request. If it goes
through then the Board needs to decide if it wants to move on Phase II which would beacquisition of the 4 Secon Village lots just west of South Shoal.
6- Inform the Board that on Friday DOT announced that because of the Legislature's
October Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) there has been 2 changes to the DOTwork plan in Franklin County. The Oak Street project has been moved back one year to
FY 15, and the $600,000 Airport Taxiway improvement project has been deleted.
7- Airport Update. At the last meeting the Board heard a presentation from ARTIC
concerning its interest in using the new hanger at the airport. As the Board is aware the
new hanger has also been advertised for use by the FBO, whoever that might be.
There was an Airport Advisory Committee meeting Monday night (Dec. 12) andARTIC was at the meeting. One of the purposes of meeting was discuss the FBO and the
new hanger. I have spoken to Mr. Mosteller, Airport Chairman, who said that no final
decision was made by the Committee but that it was represented to them that Mike Ruic
was no longer interested in continuing to operate the FBO. Sky Dance said they wouldbring back their original FBO partner. Based upon the information presented at the
meeting it appeared to the Airport Committee that Sky Dance was the only real FBO
candidate left. Sky Dance and ARTIC did discuss the possibility of jointly using the
hanger.I have spoken to Mike Ruic since the meeting and he says he was in New York
when the meeting took place, but that he has not withdrawn his offer to continue AIATC
as the FBO. I have told Mr. Mosteller that. Mr. Mosteller asks for the Board to give
them direction on what to do.
I have also spoken to ARTIC. They are still pursuing their funding opportunities
so they are still in the hunt for office/hanger space.
Board direction on how to proceed in selecting a new FBO, and in the meantimeBoard direction to allow AIATC to continue to provide FBO services. It is important that
AIATC know they are to stay in business until a new FBO is selected so that they will
continue to maintain an inventory of fuel.

To: Franklin County Board ofCounty Commissioners
From: Thomas M. Shuler, County Attorney
Re: December 20, 2011 meeting
Action Items
1. Ordinance Amending the Eastpoint Water and Sewer Franchise
The proposed ordinance amending the Eastpoint Water and Sewer District ("District")
Franchise is attached for your consideration at 6:15 p.m. (ET).
In summary, the proposed ordinance requires that the District obtain from Franklin
County a permit before it cuts any roads within the District. They have to get a permit
regardless whether the road is a dirt road or a paved road.
The county can require that the District obtain a letter of credit as a condition for issuance
of any permit.
The ordinance will allow the District to first try to patch paved roads that it cuts. The
patches will have to maintain the road for five years. If the patch fails, then the county
can use the letter of credit to reconstruct and repave the road.
Franklin County will adopt a permit application, which is attached to the ordinance as
Exhibit "A."
Franklin County will adopt a road patch standard, which is attached to the ordinance as
Exhibit "B."
Board Action Requested: A motion adopting the ordinance and authorizing thechairman to sign it.
2. Resolution Adopting County Commission District Boundaries
Attached is a proposed resolution adopting county commission district boundaries. Also
attached is the 2003 resolution establishing the current county commission district
8/3/2019 Dec 20 2011
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dec-20-2011 47/66
boundaries. The population variation among the districts is outside the bounds of generallyaccepted safe harbors. However, the resolution I have prepared does not change the countycommission boundaries. They remain the same as the boundaries you adopted in 2003.
Board Action Reqnested: A motion adopting the resolution and authorizing thechairman to sign it.
3. Eastpoint Library Lease Renewal
Last meeting, the Board authorized renewal ofthe lease for the Eastpoint Library, but desiredthat the lease be terminable upon completion of the new library in Eastpoint sometime in2012 so that the county would not pay rent for two library locations there.
However, the landlord has asked for a $500.00 early termination fee. I have no authorityfrom the Board regarding this last request. The landlord has also asked for thirty daysnotice of termination, which is not unreasonable and is consistent with your approval of
the lease.
Board Action Reqnested: I request board direction concerning the landlord's request tobe paid a $500 early termination oflease fee if the new Eastpoint library is completed
during 2012.
Non-Action Items
4. Indian Creek Park/Progress Energy Transmission Line Construction
Progress Energy's subcontractor, Rogers Helicopters, Inc., d/b/a Source Helicopters hasagain asked for permission to make temporary use of a 50'x50' portion ofone of theparking lots at Indian Creek Park as a helicopter landing zone. They desired to
commence midnight December 15,2011 and finish midnight December 19,2011. Iconsulted with the Chairman who authorized the renewal of this temporary use, subject toobtaining a hold harmless and indemnification agreement, along with insurance coverage,
copies ofwhich are attached.

ORDINANCE 2011-__ _
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 99-3, WHICH ESTABLISHES THE
EASTPOINT WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT FRANCHISE, BY RESCINDINGTHOSE PARTS OF ORDINANCE 99-3 GRANTING IT EXCAVATION
PRIVILEGES; REQUIRING PERMITS PRIOR TO FUTURE EXCA VA TIONS;ESTABLISHING CONDITIONAL ROAD PATCH STANDARDS; REQUIRING ANIRREVOCABLE LETTER OF CREDIT OR BOND; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, Franklin County enacted Ordinance 99-3, which granted an
exclusive franchise to the Eastpoint Water and Sewer District, (Hereinafter "District")
and
WHEREAS, Section Two ofOrdinance 99-3 granted limited excavation
privileges to the District, but did not specifically require it to obtain a permit from
Franklin County prior to such excavations, although the District is required to obtain
SUCH permits by Ordinance 82-5, and
WHEREAS, the District has questioned the necessity of obtaining permits from
Franklin County, and
WHEREAS, Franklin County is concerned that the best interests of the public in
the efficient administration and preservation of scarce public resources and facilities,including, but not necessarily limited to, paved roads, are not served by the present grant
of the limited excavation privileges to the District as set forth in ordinance 99-3, and
WHEREAS, Franklin County finds that it is in the best interests of the public that
the District's limited grant of excavation privileges as provided in Section Two of
Ordinance 99-3 be revoked and replaced; and
WHEREAS, Franklin County finds that it is in the best interests of the public to
require that the District obtain a permit prior to excavating any county road; and
WHEREAS, Franklin County may allow the District to first patch excavations to
paved county roads instead of reconstructing and repaving them; provided, however, that
if Franklin County reasonably determines that any patch made to the road fails to returnthe road to as good a condition as it was in immediately prior to the excavation, thenFranklin County shall have the right to call upon the irrevocable letter of credit
hereinafter provided for the purposeof
reconstructing and repaving the road to as good acondition as it was in immediately prior to the excavation, and

WHEREAS, Franklin County finds that requiring an irrecovable letter of credit as
a condition of the permit to secure the expenses reasonably required to return the road to
as good a condition as it was in immediately prior to the excavation serves a valid public
purpose; and
WHEREAS, Franklin County intends to adopt a permit application, and to
establish conditional standards for patching paved roads, subject to the reservationthat
ifthe patch fails to return the road to as good a condition as it was in immediately prior to
the excavation, Franklin County reserves the right to repair and/or reconstruct that part of
the road to return it to as good a condition as it was in immediately prior to such
excavation, including, but not limited to, repaving the road to county road standards, and
WHEREAS, any permit issued which authorizes patching of a paved road(s) is
specifically conditioned on the requirement that such patches shall return the paved road
to as good a condition as it was in immediately prior to the excavation and, if the patches
fail to achieve and maintain that standard for five years, then the applicant shall be
required to reconstruct and repave the road to the standards provided for in the
subdivision ordinance for such length of the excavated road as is reasonably determined
by the county engineer to return the paved road to as good a condition as it was inimmediately prior to the excavation and patching,
NOW THEREFORE, Be It Ordained That:
1. The introductory clauses are incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Section Two ofOrdinance 99-3 is hereby revoked and repealed.
3. The following provision is hereby adopted establishing the limited
excavation privileges granted to the District:
"Limited Excavation Privileges: For the purpose of carrying into effect the
privileges and purposes granted to the District by Ordinance 99-3, the owner of
said franchise is hereby authorized, subsequent to first obtaining a permit from
Franklin County, to make all necessary excavations in said roads, streets,
alleyways and public grounds situated in the said franchise area; provided that
facilities shall be so located or relocated and so erected as to interfere as little as
possible with traffic over said streets, alleys, bridges and public places, and with
reasonable egress from and ingress to abutting property. The District shall not
commence any excavation until after it obtains a permit from Franklin County and
has provided a letter of credit. The location or relocation of all facilities shall be
made in compliance with such rules and regulations as are now or hereinafter may
be imposed by Franklin County. Streets, or portions thereof, so excavated shall
be restored within a reasonable time and as early as practicable after such
excavation, by the District at its sole expense to as good condition as they were
immediately prior to the time of such excavations."

4. The permit application attached hereto as exhibit "A" is hereby adopted
and shall be completed by the applicant prior to commencing excavationactivities. The Franklin County Planning and Zoning Department shall
have 45 calendar days to review the completed application. Failure to
issue a permit within 45 days of receipt of a completed application shall
not automatically result in the approval of the application. In addition to
all other reasonable conditions, Franklin County may condition the
issuance of the permit upon the posting of a bond or irrevocable letter of
credit in an amount sufficient to pay the reasonable cost to Franklin
County if it elects to repair patches made to any paved road and/or if
Franklin County reasonably elects to reconstruct and repave the patched
road as stated in paragraph 5. All permits expire within six months if the
construction authorized by the permit has not commenced.
5. The attached exhibit "B" is hereby adopted and shall be the standard used
to patch cuts made to paved roads; provided, however, that if such patches
fail to cause the road to be restored to as good a condition as it was in
immediately prior to the time of such excavation and patching, then the
county may elect to call upon the applicant's letter of credit to reconstructand re-pave the road so that it is in as good a condition after the
excavation as it was immediately prior to such excavation. The failure of
anyone or more patches in the road to restore it to as good a condition as
it was in immediately prior to the excavation shall include, but not
necessarily be limited to, "bellies" in the pavement surface caused when
the patch sinks below, and is not longer level with, the surface of the uncut
part of the road abutting the cut.
6. All patches made to the paved roads shall be required to maintain the
paved road in as good a condition as it was in immediately prior to the
excavation without failure for a continuous period of no less than fiveyears after the permit is issued.
7. All permits issued for patching roads may be conditioned upon the
issuance of a two year irrevocable letter of credit in an amount to be
determined by the county based on the cost to return the road to as good a
condition as it was in immediately prior to the excavation and patching,
plus ten percent. The letter ofcredit shall provide that it shall
automatically renew for another two year period, unless the financialinstitution shall provide written notice 45 business days prior to the
expiration of its intent not to renew the letter of credit for a further two
year period. At the expiration of the first renewal of the letter of credit,
the letter of credit will be extend one year.
8. All prior ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith be and
the same are hereby repealed.
