Also present were Clerk David R. Ellspermann, County Attorney Matthew G. Minter and County Administrator Mounir Bouyounes.

Seated behind the County Attorney and County Administrator was Fiscal Manager Mike McCain.

PROOF OF PUBLICATION: Deputy Clerk Lewter presented Proof of Publication No. A000939316 entitled, "Notice of Public Hearing" published in the Star Banner newspaper on September 2, 2018. The notice states the Board will meet in public hearing to consider adopting the FY 2018-19 tentative millage rates and budgets of the Marion County Board of County Commissioners and all dependent special districts.

UPDATE: Chairman Bryant advised that County Administrator Mounir Bouyounes has a couple of items from the budget workshops to address before the public hearing begins. She stated she will allow the County Administrator to go over those items so the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) can make necessary decisions so that any adjustments to the budget can be made. County Administrator Mounir Bouyounes presented a 10 page report regarding action items from budget workshops and a 1 page document entitled, "Marion County Board of County Commissioners Fiscal Year 2019 Tentative Budget" relating to Department 5110 — Marion County Health Unit. The report contains many action items, but staff has only requested direction on three items. He commented on Item No. 5, Heagy Burry Boat Ramp, noting a couple of options were provided where a decision is needed. Item No. 10, Solid Waste Department, includes 2 items for consideration: 1) furniture and tire collection program that is being added as a service; and 2) keeping recycling centers open the day after a holiday. The cost to provide that service was given. Item No.15 is in regard to the Health Department. Mr. Bouyounes noted that he provided a handout of what is in the

proposed budget and would like to recommend changing the Aid to Government Agencies to be $2,073,000 and adjust the Reserve accordingly. He advised that he has discussed this change with Administrator Mark Lander, Florida Department of Health (DOH) in Marion County, who is agreeable. The Health Department is dedicating $60,000 for mosquito control in their budget for fiscal year (FY) 2018-19, which will be shown in the contract when it is brought forward. Mr. Bouyounes asked for consensus on Item 15 so that it can be adjusted in the budget for the next public hearing. It was the general consensus of the Board to approve the request regarding Item 15. Mr. Bouyounes referred to Items 5 and 10, noting Department Directors are present if the Board has any questions before making a decision. Commissioner Stone suggested the Parks Director discuss the available options. Parks Director/Landscape Architect Jim Couillard, PLA, ASLA, referred to Attachment 2 of the 10 page handout. The project cost from 2017 was identified at $1.9 million, which includes a 15 percent (%) contingency for that project; the current funding through the Pennies for Parks and the 6118 Fees Fund is $1.7 million; leaving a funding gap of $153,000 plus. Staff came up with some scenarios as to how to address the gap. Option 1 includes phasing the project and eliminating a good portion of the work for some overflow parking and associated stormwater retention areas. In order to do that, staff is asking for permission to go ahead and bring the engineer of record (Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc.) back in to analyze the project, develop a phase line, and update the cost estimate. Construction costs have increased and there is a lot of steel in this project, a tremendous amount of bulkheading and sheet piling is involved along the edge of Orange Lake. Staff is looking for $26,000 to update the cost estimate and develop the phase; the Plan revision. An additional $17,000 is for the phase services. The $9,970 is to effectively close out the project, which was not included in the original Scope. The second option provided includes reallocating funds for the project out of Department 6118 into a revenue generating projects. Two projects the department is looking at are: 1) Horseshoe Lake; and 2) Kiwanis Beach. The Horseshoe Lake project involves relocation of the day use area. Currently, the cabins/retreat, mess hall are in one area along with the playground, restroom and swim beach. What is occurring when people rent those cabins and bunk house for their family reunion or wedding event is that day users are walking through the middle of their event, which is an issue. There is plenty of room on the old runway area of the park, on the south side of the lake and has a separate entrance into the park that can be set up for a new day use area; leaving the north area of the park as one big event location, which is more appealing to users. The other project (allocation request) is to upgrade items at Kiwanis Beach, such as: deck improvements on the old dock, new tables and chairs, and possibly a wedding gazebo. Mr. Couillard noted Kiwanis Beach is booked almost every weekend and they are now seeing people wanting to experience that sunset wedding service. Staff is trying to find various ways to increase revenue. He advised that both of the projects under Option 2 are revenue generating and over a period of three years would possibly generate $108,700 at Horseshoe Lake and $17,400 at Kiwanis Beach. The project cost for these two projects is $529,000 and the department will allocate $176,350 per year over the next three years within the Fees Fund to refund this amount. Commissioner Stone inquired as to the timeline to complete the project. Mr. Couillard advised that he spoke with several members of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) since the last meeting and again this morning, and stated the funding is secured for 3 years, which is why that timeline was used. He noted he spoke with Alan

Martin and Representatives in Tallahassee, who found the money for the boat ramp construction, which was one of the big gaps when the Parks Departments budget was presented. The actual construction of the concrete boat ramps is supposed to be self-performed by FWC. Once the FWC goes into that third year is when they consider whether they want to continue to roll over that money or carry it forward. Mr. Couillard stated there is time if this is something the Board is willing to consider. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Couillard stated FWC currently has the money for the boat ramp. Chairman Bryant noted the funding gap of $153,000 that has to be made up and inquired if the Board wanted to find the funds in this FY or wait until next FY. Commissioner Zalak stated there is money in the Fees Fund where they can get it by next year. Mr. Bouyounes advised that if the Board goes with Option 1 the project can be phased. Mr. Couillard stated staff is looking for permission to reengage their consultant to develop a phase line on the plan and find that saving to make up the funding gap. Commissioner Zalak opined that not all improvements in the current plan may be needed. Mr. Couillard concurred. Chairman Bryant advised that the general consensus of the Board is to approve Option 1. Solid Waste Director Mike Sims commented on the budget workshop, noting 2 items are coming back for Board direction. The first item is the furniture and tire collection. Currently, the department has a Saturday collection event at all 40 of its collection sites over the course of the year and have 4 tire amnesty collections where people are allowed to drop off up to 25 tires. The department has, over the past 2 years, been fortunate to receive Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) grant funding to reimburse them for tire disposal. The option before the Board is to expand the furniture and tire collection for at least 2 days per week at 6 particular sites; however, the department will continue the furniture collection one Saturday, twice a year, at the 12 collection sites. The 6 sites identified for expanded furniture collection are addressed in the Options. Option 1 is to collect furniture full time, as well as having a tire box available for residents to bring up to 5 tires. Option 2 is performing 3 of the 6 recycling centers each weekend with a rotation period of 2 weeks, which will also include the tire collection. Option 3 is the minimum and is for 1 of those 6 sites per weekend, with a 6 week rotation period for those 6 centers. Commissioner Stone commented on the amount of improperly disposed junk (i.e., tires, furniture, etc.) in places where there should be none and inquired as to the recommendation to lessen that problem. Mr. Sims advised that in 2018 the department had 346 Work Orders called in for litter; 60% of those Work Orders involved furniture and tires. He opined that opening up and expanding the program will greatly reduce the volume being picked up as litter. Commissioner Zalak stated he does not have a problem with the program, but opined that Option 1 should be selected, but delete the five full time equivalents (FTEs) from the contractual piece. People using recycling centers are used to going and unloading their material. Mr. Bouyounes noted that would be Option 1, without the staff. He stated the site will be provided, as well as the grapple truck and medium equipment operator to handle the collection. Commissioner Zalak asked if a collection site will call when they need to schedule removal of a load. Mr. Sims stated that is correct, noting all attendants have radios and keep in touch with dispatch. Commissioner Zalak stated he would like to try that option first. Commissioner Stone concurred. Chairman Bryant noted Option 1 shows 5 additional contract FTEs. Commissioner Zalak

Book A, Page 411

September 6, 2018

stated the FTEs need to be removed. Mr. Sims stated that line item will be dropped. Chairman Bryant advised that the general consensus of the Board is to approve Option 1, with the removal of the 5 FTEs. Chairman Bryant noted the next item is to analyze the costs of changing the holiday schedule. Mr. Sims advised that there will be 2 holidays that will impact the Solid Waste Department; Memorial Day and Labor Day. He noted this is a minimal impact to the department to open up on Tuesday, following those 2 holidays. In response to Commissioner Zalak, Mr. Sims stated they are open on Wednesday, but would switch days to be open on Sunday, prior to the holidays and the Tuesday after the holiday. Chairman Bryant advised that the general consensus of the Board is to approve the changing of the holiday schedule. In response to Commissioner Stone, Chairman Bryant suggested she go ahead and comment on the Tourist Development Council (TDC) budget at this time. Commissioner Stone noted when the budget workshops first started Mr. Bouyounes gave the BCC a memo with several different attachments. She referred to Table A, which was unfunded requests from the General Fund, noting one request was for a one-time contribution of $50,000 to the College of Central Florida (CF) for the Appleton Museum. Looking back at the Ordinance when the TDC was first established, it was for the Appleton Museum, which was used as an example. It has always been an option that allows the Board to provide funding for museums. Commissioner Stone requested that a line item be included in the TDC budget to support the Appleton Museum. She noted the Appleton requested $100,000; however, the City of Ocala has approved $50,000 and she is requesting the county to approve $50,000 as a one-time contribution, as they continue to work with Tallahassee to have state funding restored. Commissioner Stone commented on the tourism dollars that come through as a result of the Appleton Museum, which has 80 full time jobs, as well as the community impact of $2.3 million annually. Chairman Bryant stated the general consensus of the Board is to approve adding the line item in the TDC budget for the Appleton Museum in the amount of $50,000 with the understanding that this is a one-time contribution. In response to Commissioner Zalak as to Foundation funding, Commissioner Stone stated they are pulling through the endowment now, but those funds will run out and the Appleton will have to close their doors. Commissioner Zalak asked if the Foundation does not have the money to cover the Appleton Museum this FY. Commissioner Stone stated the Foundation does have the money, but that is not what the endowment is for, noting those funds will run out if they continue to lean into that. Chairman Bryant advised that this will give them time to work out issues with Tallahassee. General discussion ensued.

https://sire.marioncountviforgisirepub/mtgviewer.aspx?meetid=2389&doct voe=AGENDA

Budget Director Michael Tomich presented a 1 page agenda outline; a 45 page handout containing copies of the proposed Resolutions; and a 42 page agenda packet. He read into the record a letter dated September 6, 2018, from Clerk Ellspermann advising the tentative countywide budget is $480,838,847 and the non-countywide entities' budgets

Page 412, Book A

September 6, 2018

total $210,213,143 for a total tentative budget of $691,051,990. The letter states this is the first of two public hearings to consider the tentative budgets and millage rates and contains procedures for adoption of the budgets pursuant to Section 200.065, Florida Statutes. Mr. Tomich stated the first entity for Board consideration is the countywide budget, which contains the General Fund, Fine & Forfeiture Fund, County Transportation Maintenance Fund, Marion County Health Unit Trust Fund, Parks & Land Acquisition Debt Service Fund and all other countywide budgets. Mr. Tomich advised that the percentage of increase over the rolled back for the Countywide General Fund is 4.83 percent (%); Fine & Forfeiture Fund is 4.83%; County Transportation Maintenance Fund is 0.00%; the Marion County Health Unit Trust Fund is 4.80%; Parks & Land Acquisition Debt Service Fund is not applicable. Mr. Tomich stated the rolled back millage rate for the General Fund is 3.1766 mills and the proposed millage rate to be levied is 3.3300 mills, with a total budget for consideration of $172,532,612; the rolled back millage rate for the Fine & Forfeiture Fund is 0.5056 mill and the proposed millage rate to be levied is 0.5300 mill, with a total budget for consideration of $11,332,211; the rolled back millage rate for the County Transportation Maintenance Fund is 0.0000 mill, with a total budget for consideration of $63,871,430; the rolled back millage rate for the Marion County Health Unit Trust Fund is 0.1145 mill and the proposed millage rate to be levied is 0.1200 mill, with a total budget for consideration of $2,151,985; and the proposed millage rate for the Parks & Land Acquisition Debt Service Fund is 0.0000 mill, which is the last time this will be seen. To complete paperwork for the Property Appraiser's Office in this final year for comparison to the prior year the Parks & Land Acquisition Debt Service Fund will be adopted at 0.0000 mill. The Parks & Land Acquisition Debt Service Fund was a bond issue for the purchase of parks and environmentally sensitive lands. He noted the total amount back in 1989-1990 was approved for up to $20,000,000; $10,000,000 was issued in 1990, at which time the millage rate began at 0.1500 mill. In FY 1999-2000 the millage rate increased when another $10,000,000 was issued, at which time the millage rate was at 0.2700. As property values increased the amount of the millage rate decreased to cover approximately the same amount of debt service. Those bonds have finally been paid off and that millage rate is now complete and brings the countywide millage rate down 400ths of a mill; from 4.0200 mills to 3.9800 mills for the upcoming FY. Mr. Tomich advised that all other countywide budgets have a tentative budget of $230,950,609, noting the total countywide tentative millage rate is 3.9800 mills and the total countywide tentative budget is $480,838,847. Mr. Tomich briefly reviewed some of the significant budgets that will be discussed. Chairman Bryant opened the floor to public comment. David Halperin, SW 96th Avenue Road, expressed concern with senior citizens who are on a fixed income. He opined that the millage increase should be applied more fairly as a user based millage and asked that the Board share that concern with Tallahassee. Mr. Halperin stated seniors who are on a fixed income and no longer have children in schools should be considered differently. Chairman Bryant advised that the Board looks for alternative funding sources, noting one thing the Commission did a couple of years ago was put the $0.01 Sales Tax on the ballot, due to the deficit in capital for public safety and transportation infrastructure projects. She noted the voters of Marion County approved that referendum, which helped spread that cost out to more than people who own property. One of the things this Board has done in

Book A, Page 413

September 6, 2018

the last couple of years, which is, and will continue to be, a legislative priority for this Board, is to ask Tallahassee to allow the County to use a voter approved sales tax for more than capital and infrastructure; to allow the use of a percentage of the sales tax for recurring and in exchange would lower the ad valorem. Chairman Bryant stated none of these decisions are taken lightly, noting the county starts planning the budget in January and a series of workshops are held in July where the Board goes through -each departments budget, as well as all Constitutional Officers, to make sureno unnecessary tax dollars are being spent. She noted this Commission works each year to try to find hybrid funding sources so that funding the majority of services that the entire community uses do not just fall on property owners. George Cipra, SW 78th Avenue (Oak Run), presented a 2-page handout and advised that he is here tonight to complain about the ridiculously low salaries paid to Sheriff Deputies. He commented on the starting and overall average salaries of Deputies, as well as the need for additional deputies and the increase in serious crimes. Chairman Bryant noted that Sheriff Billy Woods, Marion County Sheriffs Office (MCSO), Chief Deputy Robert Douglas, Bureau Chief Jerry Holland and Budget & Finance Division Director Jeremiah Powell, CPA, are in the audience and asked that the Sheriff or one of his staff address concerns. Sheriff Woods advised that since he has taken office he and the BCC have been working hard. He noted salaries were low; the starting salary for a deputy at the moment is $38,600, which is still a little behind, but they have worked on a 3 year plan so that deputies are paid what they deserve. Sheriff Woods stated the department is always short, but that is law enforcement period; however, he noted the Board would like to give MCSO the 100 deputies. He noted for the first time they have had an overabundance of applicants and more people who are qualified have applied for available positions, which is rare for law enforcement. Sheriff Woods commented on the School Resource Officer (SRO) issue that was recently faced. He assured Mr. Cipra that he and the BCC have worked hard to get what they can for the deputies that serve Marion County. Commissioner Moore commented on diversifying revenue streams and ways to make things more equitable. He noted the biggest challenge is that Tallahassee ties their hands as to how funds can be collected and expended. Commissioner Moore expressed his appreciation to those who came out tonight, as well as those who call and reach out to their State Legislators. Chairman Bryant advised that public comment is now closed.
