FWC Discuss Bear Issues (9:10 AM)

Steve Shea, Regional Director, spoke to the Board concerning the bear attack that happened in
Eastpoint. While reading from a prepared statement, he explained what FWC is doing to
reduce the bear population in the County, including relocation and to be euthanized. He stated
that genetic analysis showed that one of the euthanized bears was the one that attacked Miss
Reeder. He said that cooperative efforts are needed between FWC, the public, businesses, and
government to help with human and bear conflicts. His comments included a statement that
the FWC is considering some type of bear hunting season to manage bear populations. He
discussed other options, including securing garbage containers, to help manage human and
bear conflicts.
Commissioner Jackel stated that, over the years, the County has tried to be very pro-active
concerning issues with the bear population in the County. She stated that because of no action
on behalf of FWC, there has been an attack on a young lady in Eastpoint. She thanked FWC for
attending the meeting but stated that something has to be done to reduce the bear population
in Franklin County in order to protect citizens.
Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Shea discussed FWCs plans to reduce the bear population in the
County.
Commissioner Jackel suggested some type of public fair to provide information on bear safety.
She stated that a consistent plan is needed to reduce the bear population and to stop bear and
human conflicts.
Commissioner Lockley stated that FWC should have taken this type of action and showed this
type of force before the recent bear attack. He stated that there is a bear in Apalachicola that
is in very populated neighborhoods and needs immediate attention. He believed the
endangered species count should be reconsidered.

1/6/15
Page 3 of 13
Mr. Shea stated that FWC is becoming more aggressive in their response to complaints in
Apalachicola also. He also stated that the black bear has been removed from the States
threatened species list and will make it easier to deploy more aggressive methods to manage
bear populations.
Commissioner Parrish agreed with fellow Commissioners and stated that residents are not
feeling safe in their neighborhoods. He believes this will present other problems if something
isnt done soon to control the bear population in the County.
Commissioner Sanders stated that the bears have lost fear of humans and believed bear
hunting season should be re-opened. She spoke directly to Leah Reeder, the young lady that
was recently attacked by a bear in Franklin County, and expressed her gratitude that she is
going to be okay.
Chairman Massey asked the Ms. Reeder, the victim of the bear attack, to come forward and be
recognized.
Commissioner Sanders spoke to Miss Reeder and discussed the bear attack.
Mr. Shea suggested that the Commissioners reach out to the FWC board members to inform
them of the problems with bears in Franklin County. He stated that the upcoming FWC
meetings will be held in Jacksonville in February and in Tallahassee in April.
Motion by Sanders, seconded by Jackel, to direct Fonda Davis to confer with FWC to discuss
options to help with bear conflicts in the County; Motion carried 5-0.
Chairman Massey and Mr. Shea discussed sightings of bears that have been tagged, with at
least three tags in their ears.
Paige Richards, of Eastpoint, asked for a number to call when there are bear sightings on
personal property. She expressed the frustrations of the public in dealing with FWC when there
are bear sightings. She asked if bears are being re-located from South Florida to our location.
Mr. Shea stated that bears are re-located to the same area that they are found.
The Board stated that a hotline is needed for bear sightings in the County.
Mr. Shea stated that residents need to continue to call when they are having problems in order
for the new aggressive measures to be implemented. He stated they would provide a number
before the Meeting is over.
Dottie Thornberg, of Eastpoint, suggested that a developed re-location area is needed, which
would allow the new generation of bear cubs not to look for foods. She discussed other
suggestions.
Mike Roehr, of St. George Island, discussed the tension between the public and FWC due to
perceived fines and possible imprisonment if citizens have to defend themselves from bears.
He stated something needs to be done to soften the relationship between the public and FWC.
A FWC Representative responded with a proposal that will be discussed at the February FWC
Commission meeting.
Connie Roehr, of St. George Island, discussed a bear confrontation involving her 80 year old
father, but because of the FWC rules he was afraid to defend himself from the bear, so was
trapped in his house. She asked what options are available for defensive measures.
A FWC Representative clarified that a bear can be shot if it is attacking someone.

1/6/15
Page 4 of 13
Commissioner Sanders discussed a problem she had in the past with a bear destroying her
property.
Commissioner Parrish asked what should be done if there are bear sightings in the County.
A FWC Representative explained the protocol for bear sightings.
Sgt. Stella Bryant, of the Franklin County Sheriffs Office, suggested updated bear response
training for local law enforcement.
Gary Carroll, suggested training volunteers, in addition to law enforcement, to assist with bear
sightings.
Mike Thornberg asked if FWC dispatch is available 24 hours a day. He was told that it was.
Link Carroll, of Eastpoint, discussed some problems with bears on her Fathers property in
Eastpoint.
Mr. Shea stated that because of the recent attack he has been able to get to know the Reeder
family and he has seen the strength of the families and residents of Franklin County.
Linda Carroll, of Eastpoint, was pleased with FWCs statements today but stated that more proactive action is needed from FWC to avoid any more attacks.
Recess (9:56 AM)

Chairman Massey called for a recess.
Reconvene
Chairman Massey reconvened the Meeting.
Department Supervisor Report

Mr. Nabors updated the Board on road conditions due to the recent rains.
He stated that there is an upcoming auction that needs Board action to approve the equipment
on the list, which includes an old school bus, a D5H Dozer, a back hoe, and mowers.
Motion by Sanders, seconded by Jackel, to approve the auction with the equipment stated by
Mr. Nabors; Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Pierce presented this item from his report.
3- Board discussion of new road washout on Gulf Shore Blvd, Alligator Point. As the Board is
aware a major section of Gulf Shore Blvd. washed out during Hurricane Debby in 2012. The
road has never been permanently put back because I have been working with FEMA to relocate
the road landward. The county has built a temporary road while the permanent relocation
project worked its way through FEMA approval. However, over Dec. 23/24 a small storm event
washed out some 250 additional feet of asphalt road west of the section washed out by
Hurricane Debby. FEMA funds cannot be used to repair this new washout as it did not happen
during a declared event. This new washout is compelling evidence that the Gulf Shore Blvd area

1/6/15
Page 5 of 13
is a critically eroding shoreline, and the county should endeavor to seek a permanent solution
for providing access to the 7 lots that need Gulf Shore Blvd. The permanent solution I
recommend is to seek state and federal support to buy out these 7 property owners as these 7
lots are entirely surrounded by Bald Point State Park. If these lots did not exist the county would
have no obligation to provide any form of maintenance at the end of Gulf Shore Blvd. In
November, the voters of the state approved funding for a new land acquisition program and I
request the Board contact DEP, who will be administering this new program, to see if these 7
lots can be purchased. As Ray Maynard, one of the property owners said when I talked to him,
The state should be interested in buying these 7 one acre lots, as we are 7 acres of land as an
outparcel in a 4,000 acre state park.
I met with state DEM representatives at the site on Dec. 30. They are investigating what
FEMA funds might be available, including converting the funds dedicated to constructing a new
road. Normally construction funds cannot be converted to acquisition funds but the state reps
are going to talk to FEMA as they were concerned about how vulnerable the remaining part of
Gulf Shore Blvd is. In the meantime, I recommend the Board authorize up to $10,000 out of the
Bald Point Trust fund to build a temporary lime rock road landward of the washout to provide
access to the 7 lots. Board direction.
Mr. Pierce stated that right of way access will be needed from the property owners to build this
road as there is no longer a County right of way. He discussed this matter further and provided
some pictures of the road.
Commissioner Sanders stated that she didnt want the County to violate any of DEPs current
orders with this proposal and that most of this type of damage happens during winter storms.
Motion by Sanders, seconded by Lockley, to authorize $10,000 out of the Bald Point Trust
fund to build a temporary lime rock road landward of the washout to provide access to the 7
lots and for Mr. Pierce to start process of building road, including asking the State to purchase
property; Motion carried 5-0.
Commissioner Parrish mentioned that there is a fire hydrant that will be washed out with any
additional storms.

Mr. Davis stated that the league is interested in bidding for two Baseball State Tournaments
and would need Board action to authorize funding for the deposit amount and TDC funding.
4- Board consideration of a change in policy for youth sports teams. In 2003, the Board adopted
a policy to provide financial assistance to youth sports teams selected or invited to participate in
a State or National Championship tournament. The current policy sets a maximum amount
allotted for a state tournament per team at $2500, and for a national tournament the
maximum amount is $5000. The county has expanded its Parks and Rec facilities since 2003

1/6/15
Page 6 of 13
also, and there is beginning to be a squeeze on the Parks and Rec budget. Before any youth
team program starts in the spring, I recommend the Board revise the allotment for teams to a
maximum of $1250 for a state tournament, and $2500 for a national tournament. The county
funds would still be provided in advance, but upon completion of the tournament the team
coach must provide receipts that the county funds went only to food and lodging. Any unspent
funds would be returned to the county.
Further, a team must have won a district or regional tournament in order to be eligible
for county funds. If a team is invited to play in a tournament without having won at a lower
level, the team is not eligible for county funds.
Mr. Pierce stated that this action would provide additional funding in the Parks and Recreation
Dept.s budget.
Commissioner Sanders expressed her concerns with the Countys teams not receiving funding.
Gary Martina, President of the Franklin County Dixie Youth League, stated that this action
would hurt the kids playing on these teams.
Link Carroll, Secretary of the Franklin County Dixie Youth League, suggested issuing checks
directly to the lodging areas which would result in the Board receiving any refunds directly.
The Board, Mr. Martina, and Ms. Carroll discussed this matter further.
Ms. Carroll stated that there are ways to reduce the overall cost of the Tournament.
The Board discussed pros and cons of hosting the Tournament.
Commissioner Jackel explained the many ways that County makes money when hosting a
Tournament.
The Board, Mr. Davis, Ms. Carroll, and Mr. Martina discussed this matter further.
Commissioner Jackel asked how much money is made on gate fees and who collects the gate
fees. Ms. Carroll explained how the funds received from the gate fees are used.
Commissioner Jackel stated that she doesnt have an issue with employees getting overtime
during the Tournament but would like to see other cost saving measures implemented
especially where the banquet is concerned.
Commissioner Sanders asked if the League will have time to secure fundraising once the
decision is made for Franklin County to host the Tournament. Ms. Carroll stated that it would
be enough time to get it organized.
Commissioner Jackel asked for better accountability procedures to be put in place for the
League so there is no repeat of the recent issues, as she has been asked by the public about
accountability.
Mr. Martina explained what action the League is taking for better accountability.
Chairman Massey suggested Mr. Martina provide financial reports to the Board.
Ms. Carroll liked the Chairmans suggestion and would work to start that process.
Alan Feifer, of the Concerned Citizen of Franklin County, stated that any non-governmental
agency seeking funding from the County should provide continuous financial reports to the
Board.
Mr. Martina stated that there is no problem with the Dixie Youth League providing financial
reports to the County.

1/6/15
Page 7 of 13
Mike Thornberg asked which youth sports the County supports and suggested that more
internal control and reporting is needed.
Commissioner Jackel thanked the Thornberg family for supporting the County School teams by
providing equipment.
Motion by Jackel, seconded by Sanders, to approve an expenditure of $2,500 from the Parks
and Recreation budget to as a deposit to bid on hosting the two Dixie Youth League
Tournaments as requested by the Franklin County Dixie Youth League; Motion carried 5-0.
Ms. Carroll stated that if they are successful with their bids to host any of the tournaments they
will return to discuss funding the tournaments.
Commissioner Parrish stated that he would like a plan presented that would include financing
amounts for these Tournaments.
Mr. Pierce asked the Board to ask the parents to form a league similar to the Dixie Youth
League for the football league.
Motion by Jackel, seconded by Sanders, to direct Mr. Pierce and Mr. Davis to contact parents
and volunteers of the football league to form a league similar to the soccer and baseball
leagues; Motion carried 5-0.
Chairman Massey and Mr. Davis discussed using grants to maintain playground equipment and
bathrooms at Vrooman Park in Eastpoint. Mr. Davis asked for clarification on what type of field
should be designed at the park in Eastpoint, a tournament field versus a regular field.
Ms. Carroll explained that there is a sweetie team league in other counties that requires
special types of field.
Chairman Massey stated that the Eastpoint Fire Department was not willing to sell the County
some of its land, but would let the County use it indefinitely.
Chairman Massey stated the flag in the Eastpoint Cemetery needs to be replaced.
Commissioner Sanders stated that the flag and flag pole at the Carrabelle Beach Park needs to
be repaired.
Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Davis discussed trash pick-up on St. George Island.

Page 8 of 13

Retrofit Contract for the Franklin County Jail with Attorney Shulers review and approval;
Motion carried 5-0.

about the agreement with the Corn Hydro Dam releasing too much water without warning.
Mrs. Brownell stated that you have to be put on their notification list for these warnings.

released at a time and asked Mrs. Brownell to send them a letter reminding them of the
agreement.
Erik Lovestrand- UF Extension Agent
Mr. Lovestrand had no items for Board approval.
Mr. Pierce asked for approval for an amendment that changes the timeline for the Sea Turtle
Grant.
Motion by Jackel, seconded by Parrish, to approve amendment on timeline for the Sea Turtle
Grant; Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Pierce stated that there is a possibility of additional funding for the Sea Turtle Grant.
Commissioner Jackel asked for the status of the literature for the Sea Turtle season. Mr.
Lovestrand provided a timeline for the literature.
Mike Cooper- Weems CEO
Mr. Cooper was not in attendance, as he was ill.
Marcia Johnson- Clerk of Court
Mrs. Johnson presented her report to the Board.
1- ) For action, I have a line item budget amendment of Tourist Development Funds for approval
which was tabled at your last meeting. At their December 3, 2014 meeting, the Tourist
Development Council approved some additional expenses for the Eastpoint Visitor Center to be
paid out of TDC Reserve for Contingencies. The additional expenses consist of $680 to relocate
palm trees, $300 for moving costs to the new Center, $300 for masonry repairs to the front of
the building, and $495 for reception room furniture. A line item budget amendment is needed
as follows if the Board wishes for these expenditures to be paid out of TDC Contingencies. If not,
the Board needs to take action to turn them back over to the TDC Administrator, Curt Blair, for
payment to be made from the current TDC Administrative budget or the Eastpoint Visitor
Centers operational budget.

Commissioner Jackel stated that she was not in favor of forwarding this cost to the TDC
Administrator. She stated some of the issues she has with the way the Eastpoint Visitor has
been treated by the Board.
Chairman Massey commented on this matter.
Commissioner Lockley commented on his issues with what has happened with the Eastpoint
Visitor Center.
Mr. Pierce explained the process regarding the cost of moving the trees at the Eastpoint Visitor
Center.
Mrs. Johnson explained that the reason she has brought this before the Board is because it is
being spent from TDC Reserves, as recommended by the TDC.
Commissioner Sanders asked if the correct process is being used for the TDC authorizing
expenditures from the TDC Reserves. Mrs. Johnson responded.
Commissioner Jackel stated that if the Board prefers she would inform the TDC to present all
out of the normal expenditures to the Board.
The Board and Mrs. Johnson discussed the distribution of budget monies and how to pay for
the expenditures for the Eastpoint Visitors Center. The listed expense for moving was also
discussed.
Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to forward items for payment from either TDC
Administrator or Eastpoint Visitor Center budget instead of from TDC Reserves; Motion
carried 3-2, Massey, Jackel opposed.
2-) For action, the Travel and Expense Policy, containing Lucy Turners suggested deletions and
additions is attached and approval requested. It was presented to you for review at your last
meeting.
Motion by Jackel, seconded by Sanders, to table this item until the next Meeting to allow
opportunity to review and ask Attorney Lucy Turner to attend to answer questions; Motion
carried 5-0.
3-) Remove used Minolta copier from inventory list. The copier was purchased in 2002 and is
now obsolete.
Motion by Lockley, seconded by Sanders, to approve removing 2002 Minolta copier from
inventory list; Motion carried 5-0.

regarding the recent theft in the Probation Office.

Alan Pierce- Director of Administrative Service

Mr. Pierce presented his report to the Board.
1- Inform Board that Mr. Kal Knickerbocker responded to the Boards letter concerning the
alteration of leases in Alligator Harbor. According to Mr. Knickerbocker, the Dept. did get the
US Coast Guard to review and approve the area for a Private Aids to Navigation permit to install
signs and markers to inform mariners of the marked area. The Alligator Harbor Aquaculture
Use Zone represents approximately 2% of Alligator Harbor. And in the Use Zone, there are 25
foot navigational easements separating each parcel to maintain access for boaters to traverse
the lease areas.
2- Inform Board that the paving of US 98 in Apalach is slated for summer 2015, which is why it
did not show up on the 5 year DOT work plan.
3- Board discussion of new road washout on Gulf Shore Blvd, Alligator Point. As the Board is
aware a major section of Gulf Shore Blvd. washed out during Hurricane Debby in 2012. The
road has never been permanently put back because I have been working with FEMA to relocate

washed out some 250 additional feet of asphalt road west of the section washed out by

Bald Point Trust fund to build a temporary lime rock road landward of the washout to provide
access to the 7 lots. Board direction.
This item was addressed earlier in the Meeting.

4- Board consideration of a change in policy for youth sports teams. In 2003, the Board adopted
a policy to provide financial assistance to youth sports teams selected or invited to participate in
a State or National Championship tournament. The current policy sets a maximum amount
allotted for a state tournament per team at $2500, and for a national tournament the
maximum amount is $5000. The county has expanded its Parks and Rec facilities since 2003
also, and there is beginning to be a squeeze on the Parks and Rec budget. Before any youth
team program starts in the spring, I recommend the Board revise the allotment for teams to a
maximum of $1250 for a state tournament, and $2500 for a national tournament. The county
funds would still be provided in advance, but upon completion of the tournament the team
coach must provide receipts that the county funds went only to food and lodging. Any unspent
funds would be returned to the county.
Further, a team must have won a district or regional tournament in order to be eligible
for county funds. If a team is invited to play in a tournament without having won at a lower
level, the team is not eligible for county funds.
This item was addressed earlier in the Meeting.
5- Board direction on fixing the Chapman Auditorium roof. As the Board is aware the county has
received a $50,000 Historic Preservation Grant to repair the roof over the auditorium. The grant
had a matching component so the county budgeted $46,350. The total amount of funds
dedicated to repairing the roof is $96,350. However, the Planning Dept., upon consultation with
the Board, did ask an architect to provide an opinion on the status of the roof as the roof has
been leaking in the auditorium since before the county received the building from the school
board. It is the architects opinion that part of the structural integrity of the roof has been
compromised, and that it will not be sufficient to put a new exterior roof over a structure that it
has rotten wood under the roof. Recently pieces of wood have fallen on to the stage in the
auditorium from the ceiling. The architects estimate is that it will take a total of some
$250,000 to adequately fix the roof. If the county is interested in moving forward with this
project it should plan on spending an additional $154,000 above the original $96,350 of grant
and local match.
To compound the situation, the school board has transferred the parking lot for the
building to the City of Apalachicola, and the city is investigating building a building on the corner
of Bluff Road and US 98. The City has previously expressed interest in acquiring the Chapman
Building. If the county fixes up the auditorium it still does not have a dedicated use for it, so
does the Board want to inquire with the City if it would still like the building? Board direction.
Commissioner Lockley was not in favor of giving any buildings to the City but rather doing the
needed repairs over a period of time and allow the County to consider a different use for the
building.
The Board discussed the cost versus the use and value of the building.
Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Pierce discussed the City trading property or a building with the
County for this building.
Mark Curenton, of Planning and Zoning, provided additional information on the building.

1/6/15
Page 12 of 13
Mr. Curenton informed the Board that the State just notified him that the $96,000 for the Emo
Contract on the Chapman building was approved.
The Board discussed this matter further.
Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, to direct Mr. Pierce to see if there are other options
for repairs and use of the Chapman Building; Motion carried 4-1, Jackel opposed.
6- Board direction on waiving the rental fee for Habitat for Humanitys fundraiser in the Armory
on Feb. 14, and the Chamber of Commerces fundraiser on Feb.8. The normal rental fee is $428.
Neither group paid a fee in the last several years.
Motion by Lockley, seconded by Jackel, to approve waiving rental fee for Habitat for
Humanitys fundraiser in the Armory on February 14, 2015 and Chamber of Commerces
fundraiser on February 8, 2015; Motion carried 5-0.
7- Board direction on projects to be submitted to the Legislature for funding. In the cover letter,
Senator Montford states, I want to encourage you to narrow down and identify those
programs/projects that have strong local community support and have been
identified/recognized as a need by a state agency. The Senator also requests that the Board
identify the top priority project. The deadline for submitting projects is Jan. 31.
The project list at this time includes:
*250K to assist the UF renovate the Research Reserve Bldg and road in Apalach.
*500K to purchase a permanent home for Sup. Of Elections Office.
*2.5M for dredging the Eastpoint Channel
*300K for drainage improvements in a system known as Smokey Hollow on the
east side of Carrabelle.
*600K for acquisition of Ells Court and Island View Campground
*1.5M for dredging Creekmore Channel in Apalachicola
*500K for drainage improvements in Apalachicola
Commissioner Parrish asked about the language that stated a need for support from a State
agency.
The Board and Mr. Pierce discussed these items further.
The Board will discuss this matter further at the next Meeting.
8- Board action to approve a Resolution of Appreciation for First Responders Week. Governor
Scott has requested all local governments participate in recognizing Jan. 5-9, 2015 as Florida
First Responder Appreciation Week, in appreciating first responders, fire fighters, EMTs, law
enforcement, and all those who bravely and selflessly risk their lives in serving the public.
Motion by Sanders, seconded by Parrish, to approve a Resolution of Appreciation recognizing
January 5 - 9, 2015 as First Responders Appreciation Week; Motion carried 5-0.

1/6/15
Page 13 of 13
Commissioner Sanders asked that a copy of this Resolution be sent to the Florida Association of
Counties.

Countys revenue is generated on St. George Island, much of the TDC funding, yet they have no
seat on the TDC. Mr. Colston stated that there are residents who are for it and those who are

the timeline for this project.

have any impact on TDC, and both the City of Apalachicola and the City of Carrabelle are
incorporated and have seats on the TDC, but agreed that further research is needed to address
Chairman Masseys concern.
Commissioner Parrish and Mr. Colston discussed the timeline and deadlines for this project.
Motion by Jackel, seconded by Sanders, directing Attorney Shuler to review and verify
information that was presented today, meet with Mr. Colstons group, and then have them

Alan Pierce Director of Administrative Services Report

1- At a previous meeting, the Board directed a letter to be written to the US Coast Guard
regarding the need to continue booming strategies in the Area Contingency Plan (ACP). In a Jan.
5 letter reply from Capt. Walker, USCG Commander, he states, the Coast Guard agrees with
the elected officials in Franklin County that these strategies should remain in the plan as
baseline recommendations for future pollution incidents. Please be aware that these booming
strategies are only recommendations to the Incident Commander and are flexible enough to be
changed as conditions or circumstances dictate.
2- Provide Board with copy Bridge Inspection report for the Postun Bayou Bridge. While there is
some deterioration reported, the final analysis is The bridge is posted 23 US tons for single unit
vehicles and 30 US tons for semi-tractor combinations. Based upon our recent (2014) field
inspections and the 2006 load capacity analysis, the bridge is operating satisfactorily under the
current traffic restrictions.
3- Board action to accept for maintenance intersection safety improvements at two
intersections in county. DOT is making the improvements but since the improvements will be on
county owned side streets the Board needs to accept the maintenance. DOT has selected these
intersections based upon DOT records and analysis. The intersections are Jackie Whitehurst St
and US 98 (Apalachicola), and Norvell St and US 98(Eastpoint). The work in both places includes
refurbishing the STOP bar at the intersections and new STOP signs. DOT is also remarking Island
Drive and US 98 but that is on the state road. The county Road Superintendent, Howard
Nabors, says he can accept maintenance.
Board action.
This item was addressed earlier during the meeting.
4- Inform the Board that I received a phone call and email from Mr. Doug Hattaway, Trust for
Public Land, to inform the Board that the county and TPLs joint application for funding to
purchase the 7 acres at the Els Court motel area has been funded by federal Fish and Wildlife
Service. The countys match of $150,000 will use up most of the remaining capital outlay
money. The overall purchase price was approximately $1M. In the grant application the county
committed to leaving the land in a natural state and would re-establish the water side of the
purchase with a maritime hammock community that the public knows as a stand of coastal live
oaks.
Board discussed this item further.
Commissioner Jackel and Mr. Pierce discussed the availability of funding.
Commissioner Jackel congratulated Commissioner Sanders on her efforts to get this property
for Franklin County residents.
Commissioner Sanders commented further on this matter and stated the importance of the
property for Franklin County residents.

1/20/2015
Page 7 of 13
5- I have spoken to Doug Hattaway about the prospect of TPL assisting in the purchase of the 7
lots on Bald Point that I spoke about at the last meeting. Mr. Hattaway agrees it would be nice
to get that land into Bald Point State Park, and he is pursuing getting the state to use some of
their NRDA land acquisition money to acquire those lots.
Commissioner Jackel asked if there is funding to purchase properties east of the Countys
pavilion in Eastpoint. Mr. Pierce discussed this further.
Commissioner Jackel asked that staff keep that property in mind if the opportunity arises to
purchase it.
Commissioner Jackel asked Mr. Pierce to continue to keep up on the status of the dredging
project for the Eastpoint Channel.
6- Warden Atkins, Franklin CI, has emailed me to ask me to let the Board and the public know
that there are currently 30 vacancies at FCI. The Warden says that DOC is still providing
assistance to employees to get their DOC certification.
7- Board direction on projects to be submitted to the Legislature for funding. In the cover letter,
Senator Montford states, I want to encourage you to narrow down and identify those
programs/projects that have strong local community support and have been
identified/recognized as a need by a state agency. The Senator also requests that the Board
identify the top priority project. The deadline for submitting projects is Jan. 31.
The project list at this time includes:
*250K to assist the UF renovate the Research Reserve Bldg and road in Apalach.
*500K to purchase a permanent home for Sup. Of Elections Office.
*2.5M for dredging the Eastpoint Channel

*500K for drainage improvements in Apalachicola
Commissioner Parrish stated that he would like the UF renovation project to be identified as
the top priority on this list.
Commissioner Jackel agreed that the UF project is important to the County, but she asked that
the Eastpoint dredging project is considered as a secondary project on the list. She explained
that the permits are in place and how this project would be very beneficial to the County.
Commissioner Lockley stated his support for the UF project as the priority on this list. He stated
some of the benefits to this project.

including what work has been done thus far.
Commissioner Sanders and Mr. Pierce discussed the Eastpoint dredging project further.
Commissioner Lockley and Mr. Pierce discussed the obligation of the Federal Government to
provide funding for the Eastpoint Channel dredging project.
Commissioner Sanders explained that the Federal Government no longer earmark funds for
specific areas so it will be difficult to get Federal funding for the Eastpoint Channel.
Mr. Pierce asked for authority to contact the appropriate Federal agency about funding for the
Creekmore Channel.
Motion by Parrish, seconded by Lockley, to make the UF project the 1st priority, Eastpoint
Channel dredging project the 2nd priority, and Creekmore project as 3rd priority; Motion

Board to discuss TDC. Mr. Armistead asked the Board to consider allowing TDC to review
financial items before it is heard by the Commission. He also asked the Board to allow TDC to

require transfer from one line item to another or that isnt budgeted. Commissioner Parrish
stated that the Board wants to work with and support TDC, but there has to be better
communication between both boards.

8- Board direction on appointments for ARPC representative and Small County Coalition. An
elected county official an elected city official must serve on ARPC, and the next meeting is Jan.
22. At this time Comm. Sanders is the county appointment and Comm. LaPaz from Carrabelle is
the city appointment.
The Small County Coalition needs to have 2 county commissioners. The next meeting of
the Small County Coalition is in the spring.

Motion by Lockley, seconded by Jackel, to reappoint the current representatives on Small
County Coalition; Motion carried 5-0.
9- Update on Chapman Building. Last week I inspected the Chapman Building with
Commissioner Lockley. It would be easier to retrofit the auditorium than I stated at the
meeting. There is a rear door into the auditorium that could be used for ADA access. Ramps or
lifts would have to be built inside and outside of the door but the doorway itself appears wide
enough. There are currently some 350 fixed auditorium seats that were removed a few years
ago for refinishing and have been reinstalled with new concrete bolts that look like they can be
unscrewed. The use or creation of a bathroom is an unknown, as there are bathrooms in the
building that must be shared with the medical office. The architect has revised the cost
estimate downward so that the estimated additional cost to the county is now $67K, instead of
some $150K, so there has been a cost reduction by $83K.
The initial estimated total cost of the project was some $247K, and now it is $164K.

(On Thursday, Jan. 15, Div. of Historic Preservation approved the contract for Emo

Apalachicola.
The Board and Mr. Pierce discussed other possible options.
Commissioner Jackel stated that the contractor has to be aware of the maximum of available
funds before starting this project.

2015 FRANKLIN COUNTY DIXIE BASEBALL AAA & OZONE STATE TOURNAMENT:
FOR BOARD ACTION: On January 24th Dixie Youth League President Gary Martina & his
Board went to the State Meeting in Lake City Florida to present the Bid to Host the 2015
Dixie State Tournament for AAA & Ozone Baseball Divisions. Franklin County won the bid to
host both Divisions. The State Tournament will be held on July 17th 22nd. In the past the
Dixie Youth State Tournaments was a huge success. The success would not have been
possible without the support of the Franklin County Commission, TDC, Volunteers, local
businesses, and our Parks & Recreations Staff. The Tournament brought a large amount of
revenue into Franklin County and had a positive impact on our youth. Our Department
prides itself on making positive impact on the children of Franklin County. Because of this,
the opportunity has presented itself once again. REQUESTED ACTION: Board Approval
for Parks & Recreation Department along with the Dixie Youth League to host the
2015 State Tournament at Will S. Kendrick Sports Complex with monetary support
from Parks & Recreation Youth Program Line Item Budget and the Board to
instruct the TDC to help with monetary support.

Franklin County Extension Activities January 21 February 3, 2015
UF/IFAS Extension Faculty have been involved in the following Extension activities during this period.
General Extension Activities:
Extension staff has assisted County residents by providing information regarding deer ticks, beekeeping disaster
loan program and assisted with injured wildlife.
Extension staff appreciate the Boards unanimous support of the facility renovation project at the former
FDEP/ANERR building. Discussions have been on-going with Extension administration regarding the next
steps in this process.
Extension staff met with the overall Extension Advisory Committee on January16, 2014. There are currently
eleven members who have committed to participate and the Director is looking for a couple more
representatives from the Seafood Industry. There were six members able to attend the meeting and basic
background information regarding the function of the committee, history of Extension and protocol for
meetings and operation of the committee were covered.
Extension Director contacted teachers at the Franklin County School to gauge interest and the possibility of
building a team for the annual Envirothon competition.
Extension Directors annual appraisal took place with the District Extension Director.
Sea Grant Extension
Extension staff continues to work with county staff on the sea turtle lighting grant. Notification letters and
homeowner agreements regarding acceptance of lighting retrofit equipment have been sent out. Arrangements
for equipment purchases for the lighting retrofits are being made so staff can begin working directly with
homeowners. Publications that will be placed in the rental units on St. George island are being worked on at the
printer.
Extension Director is working on budget draft for another sea turtle lighting grant that will focus specifically on
and around conservation lands in Franklin County.
Extension Director attended a Sea Grant in-service training in St. Augustine on the topic of An Estuarine and
Coastal Health Initiative to Promote Community Environmental Stewardship. All expenses except travel to
and from the training were covered through an Extension grant.
Extension Director attended the January SMARRT meeting in Apalachicola.
Agriculture

both collected from local donations and the North Florida Peanut Producers who matched the amount that was
collected during the Peanut Butter Challenge.

Food and Nutrition Program in Franklin County. Heather Henderson was hired and started work on January 20.
She is working on developing program contacts and operational procedures. At present she is sharing office
space with the Franklin County Extension Program Assistant/Office Manager in the Armory.

Report to the Board of County Commissioners

February 3, 2015
1-Inform the Board that the Governors Office has released its proposed budget, and
while it has not even been discussed by the Legislature, if the budget is approved as
proposed these are the significant issues for the county:
A) Slight reductions in most of the DOT road paving grant programs
B) No proposed funding for FRDAP- which is the parks and recreation grant
C) Land Acquisition increased from $40M to $130M
D) $560K in DACS budget for oyster shell planting
2-Board action to move forward on the Board of Adjustment item tabled from last
meeting regarding the division of property in St. Teresa. All four members of the
family have signed a notarized statement agreeing to the request, which is what the
Board had asked for. Board action to approve the variance.
3- Inform the Board that DOT has revised the striping and marking for Island Drive
to include signage for right lane as Commissioner Jackel had requested.
4- Board action to write letter of support for a legislative request submitted by Camp
Gordon Johnston Museum. The Museum has made a request directly to Senator
Montford for $650K.
5- Inform the Board of the concerns Mr. Gary Carroll, Eastpoint, raised last week
regarding bears. Mr. Carroll had contacted the Sheriffs Office to find out when the
training would begin for the deputies and other personnel as the FWC had said would
occur. After some phone calls with Mr. Steve Shea, FWC, they have now confirmed
that they have made contact with Capt. Segree, FCSO, to schedule the training. The
purpose of the training is teaching law enforcement in non-lethal methods of scaring
bears.
The other issue Mr. Carroll raised was the continuing gap/confusion in letting
FWC know when bears are causing a nuisance. If there is a life threatening situation
call 911 and law enforcement will respond. If a bear is in a populated area the public
should call the FWC 24 hour hotline, at 1-888-404-3922. Even though this number is
also for life threatening situations, Mr. Shea and a Major Cooper, FWC, told me that
they have ramped up their bear response so that if the public calls the 888 number
dispatch will tell officers of a potential bear problem and the officer will BOLO- Be
On the Look-Out for bears and will be prepared to take the appropriate action.
6- Inform the Board that the TDC has appointed Mr. Rex Pennycuff to be the TDC
appointment to the county RESTORE Council. Mr. Pennycuff replaces Mr. Paul
Parker.
7- Inform the Board that Mr. Frankie Crosby, Courthouse Maintenance, has given me
his notice of retirement, effective Feb. 13, 2015. In the past the Board has allowed an
in-house transfer for qualified applicants. Does the Board want me to post the
position in house or advertise? If the Board wants me to post in-house the direction
in the past has been that a current employee can not transfer their salary if they are
making more than the starting salary of the position they are moving to. In this case,
the starting salary for Courthouse Maintenance is $26,000.
8- Inform the Board that I would like to begin advertising for an entry level position
in the Planning and Building office. Ms. Rachel Ward, Zoning Administrator and
Floodplain Manager, will be completing her DROP in August and she must retire.
Ms Amy Kelly has received her Floodplain Manager certification from FEMA and
would be qualified to be promoted into Ms. Wards position in August, and I would
like to begin the process of hiring someone in an entry level position to take Ms.
Kellys position. There is currently enough money in my budget to allow me to hire
an entry level position starting in April so that when Ms. Ward retires I would already
have a trained person to take Amys position. Board action to allow me to advertise.
