Mr. Gillespie:
With respect to your message below, and your public
records request dated January 2, 2015, neither I nor the
County Attorneys office have any records related to
the Proclamations of Confederate History Month
referenced in your letter. My office did not prepare
those proclamations, and had no involvement in
handling or processing those documents. The same
answer applies to any records for the fundraising to
Matthew Guy Minter
move Johnny Reb, and any accounts related thereto.
Marion County Attorney We have no records on those topics.
The same answer applies to any records related to the reported receipt by Marion County of $2.5
million in federal stimulus funding. We have no records on those topics.
I therefor defer to whatever Mr. Harrell has reported to you with respect to records in the
possession of the Clerk.
Sincerely, Guy Minter

the estimate to move the statue, but Mr. Harrell refused to explain why fundraising
reached 10 times that amount, $207,479. The answer may lie in records not yet
provided for moving the orange communication tower so Johnny Reb would not face
it. Speaker of the House Cretul committed to help get the orange radio tower moved.

Confederate statue, proclamation, and other such records you failed to disclose
Guy Minter, Marion County Attorney

Gregory C. Harrell, General Counsel to David R. Ellspermann,
Dear Mr. Minter and Mr. Harrell,
It has come to my attention that there are many Confederate statue, proclamation, and other such records
you failed to disclose. Apparently anyone can search the records of Marion County at the SIRE Public
Web Application. http://sire.marioncountyfl.org/sirepub/docs.aspx
When I searched the word "confederate", I found many documents after Mr. Minter, Mr. Harrell and
other persons in Marion County government said no such documents existed. Six documents are
attached, and there are many more.
Apparently, Speaker of the House Cretul committed to help get the orange radio tower moved so the
Confederate Soldier Statue would not face it. Has that work been completed? Below are a few out takes
from the Marion County Historical Commission records.
A review of these records shows Marion County government wastes a lot of government time and

money promoting the Lost Cause of the Confederacy and other such nonsense.
Neo-Confederates in Marion County government have blood on their hands for promoting white
supremacy racism. Have you thought about donating money in memory of the victims of Dylann Roof?

The Marion County Historical Commission Minutes, January 4, 2010 show David Ellespennann gave
the financial report. For the period, there was one expenditure of $206.60, for flags, leaving a balance of
$8,793.40. Was this expenditure for Confederate flags?
The Meeting Minutes for February 1, 2010, Historic Records and Archiving - no report - it was noted
that the Clerk's office is continuing its efforts to help with the digitizing of the Chazal manuscript...
What does the Chazal manuscript have to do with the Clerks office?
Confederate Soldier Monument - Vanessa Thomas reported on the efforts to have the Confederate
Soldier Monument relocated ... spearheaded by local attorney Lanny Curry...Further, Speaker of the
House Cretul has committed to helping get the orange radio tower moved. Has the radio tower
been moved?
Meeting Minutes April 5, 2010. The Chairperson stated that she would entertain a motion to suspend
regular business in order to take up the location of the Confederate Soldier Memorial Statue. David
Cook moved that we suspend regular business to deal with the statue. Randy Kerlin seconded.
Price Landrum asked that if the statue were orientated due north, it would face a communications tower.
Mr. Couillard stated that it would. He also stated that there were plans to eventually remove the tower
but that there were no time set to due this.
Price Landrum asked if there would be lighting for the statue. Mr. Couillard stated that there would be
lighting and proper landscaping.
Hoyalene Thomas stated that the proposed was a great plan, that it was very approachable. She stated
that the statue was a monument for soldiers who had died in the War Between the States, soldiers who
had faced north and never turned their eyes to the enemy. She approved the northwest orientation.
The Chairperson stated that the proposal was a fabulous design. She likes that the project will be done in
three phases. She likes that the plan puts the statue back into a prominent position in order to honor the
soldiers and the men and women who paid to put it up. She stated that the most important part of the
plan was its aesthetics, that it had maximum visibility in a park that honors all veterans.
David Cook asked if the land that the monument was being placed on was public land. The Chairperson
stated that as far as she knew the land belonged to Marion County.
Wiley Kerlin moved that this Commission recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the
7/7/2015
Page 3 of 6
Confederate Soldier Memorial Statue be moved into the Veteran's Park as shown on the distributed
drawings, facing northwest, as soon as possible, in time for the Sesquicentennial of the War Between the
States. Randy Kerlin seconded. The motion passed.
Wiley Kerlin thanked the people who had raised the money to move the statue, especially Lanny Curry.
Lanny Curry stated that in spite of what was stated in the Ocala Star-Banner, fund raising for the statue
was not done. Enough money had been raised to moved the monument but not for the lighting,
landscaping and site preparation. There was discussion of bringing this up with the Star-Banner reporter
who had been working on the monument story. Mr. Curry stated that Moses Construction would be in
charge of the project and that La Perle Monument Company.

Good evening Mr. Gillespie,
In researching your public records request to the County Attorney, I learned from the Clerk
of the Courts staff that they have already fulfilled the majority of the request. I spoke with
the Clerks General Counsel, Greg Harrell, and he has sent me all of his correspondence to
you which addresses the proclamations, the finance records of the fundraising for the
Johnny Reb statue, and the finance records of Marion Countys use of federal stimulus
funds.
In regard to the last portion of your request concerning your utility account, our Utilities
Director has confirmed that nothing has changed since last summer. As you stated, you
received a notification from Dr. Lee Niblock explaining that your account would be
credited $150, but the $55 transfer fee was still applicable. That action remains in place as
the final determination of your request for a refund.
This information fulfills your public records request.

Marion County Board of County Commissioners - BOCC
601 SE 25th Avenue
RE: Records request, Art. I, Sec. 24, Florida Constitution
Dear Mr. Minter:
Please find attached two unexecuted Proclamations of Confederate History Month by the Marion
County Florida BOCC, one for April 26, 2014 and one for May 7, 2013. Kindly provide an
executed copy of each Proclamation. If the Proclamations were filed with the Clerk, provide a
copy showing the Clerks stamp receiving or filing the documents.
Provide records for the fundraising to move Johnny Reb reported in the Ocala-Star Banner
November 18, 2009,
On Tuesday, the County Commission appeared to reach a consensus to relocate the statue
of the Confederate infantryman, known commonly as "Johnny Reb."
That came after Ocala lawyer Lanny Curry proposed a public-private partnership to
relocate the 101-year-old monument and volunteered to help raise the estimated $25,000
needed to move it from its present location, a nook on the building's south side fronting
Northwest First Street.
To further the project, commissioners agreed to set up an account with the court clerk's
office to accept tax-exempt donations and accepted Commissioner Charlie Stone's offer
to serve as a liaison to work with Curry and other parties interested in finding Johnny
Reb a new home.
The same Ocala-Star Banner story reported Marion County received almost $2.5 million in
federal stimulus funding from President Barack Obama's $787-billion spending program.
Provide records showing the receipt and use of the $2.5 federal stimulus. Did Marion County
keep and use the $2.5 federal stimulus? Or return the money under Confederate ideology?
Former Administrator Lee Niblock announced returned my Utility Account deposit in the
amount of $150 by email July 25, 2014. The county still owes me return of the $55 transfer fee,
which I will show in a detailed response to your letter of June 18, 2014. Thank you.

County prepares to move Confederate

monument
County administrator to create list of possible sites for statue.
By Bill Thompson
Staff writer
Published: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
The Confederate monument that stood guard in

front of the Marion County Courthouse for
nearly a century, only to be stuck in a corner
two years ago as the facility was expanded, is
likely moving.
The question remains: Where?
On Tuesday, the County Commission appeared
FILE
to reach a consensus to relocate the statue of

the Confederate infantryman, known commonly
The Confederate statue at the Marion

courthouse.
as "Johnny Reb."
relocate the 101-year-old monument and volunteered to help raise the estimated
$25,000 needed to move it from its present location, a nook on the building's south
side fronting Northwest First Street.
To further the project, commissioners agreed to set up an account with the court
clerk's office to accept tax-exempt donations and accepted Commissioner Charlie
Stone's offer to serve as a liaison to work with Curry and other parties interested in
finding Johnny Reb a new home.
County Administrator Lee Niblock said he would prepare at least three new
locations for the board to consider at its next meeting, scheduled for Dec. 1.
Niblock indicated that the Ocala-Marion County Veterans Memorial Park, a site
favored by many, is one option. Leaving the monument where it is will be offered as
another, he added. As for where else it might go, Niblock was mum, only saying the
spot would reflect the statue's "historical significance."
Johnny Reb was removed in 2007 from the front of the courthouse in downtown
Ocala in preparation for a $41-million expansion.
Other than spending a four-year stint in storage in the late 1980s when the
courthouse was last renovated, the two-story-tall, 15-ton statue has been a fixture at
the facility's entrance since being dedicated in April 1908.
The current courthouse project is expected to be completed in January.
Former county administrator Pat Howard had designated Johnny Reb's current
location as permanent and Niblock was inclined to concur unless the County
Commission directed otherwise. Curry, a U.S. Navy veteran and member of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans, appealed to the board to find a "suitable location" for the
monument.
Relating that his great-grandfather, Lawton Curry, was a Confederate soldier in the
Florida cavalry who had been wounded in battle, Curry said it was not "in a place of
honor and not in a proper location."
His preference is the veterans' park, at Fort King Street and Southeast 25th Avenue,
about two miles from where Johnny Reb is now situated.
Curry also said he was trying to fulfill a commitment to the late Tommy Needham, a
former county commissioner and impetus for the park.
"I promised him that I would not let the issue go away," Curry told the commission.
Curry said he felt strongly about the need to sustain the memory of the efforts of
those who fought in the Civil War.
While the monument has periodically ignited controversy as civil rights groups
complained it is an affront to blacks, the commission's reluctance to overrule
Howard's decision was primarily rooted in the cost of moving it.
Relocating the statue requires a specialized moving company that can dismantle its
three fitted parts and reassemble it.
Stone suggested the board could perhaps convince some company to offer in-kind
services to move it.
Once the cost issue is resolved, the monument should be placed in a more
prominent position, Stone offered.
"It's just not in a location where people can see it on an ongoing basis," he said.
In other action, the board learned that Marion County had received almost $2.5
million in federal stimulus funding to make the courthouse and some county offices
more energy efficient.
Roughly $727,000 of that amount will be used to install new cooling units to replace
the 50-year-old units at the courthouse's heating and air conditioning system. An
additional $303,000 will be spent to replace the facility's windows and lighting.
Another $450,000 will go for installing solar heating panels at the Marion County
Jail.
Other improvements include updating traffic signals, installing waterless urinals,
improving lighting and air conditioning at three county firehouses and replacing
windows.
"It's a huge accomplishment that will save the citizens a ton of money,"
Commissioner Stan McClain observed.
Congress passed President Barack Obama's $787-billion spending program in
February.

Ocala, FL 34471
RE: Request for Items to be placed on BOCC meeting Agenda for June 7, 2011
Requestor: Marion County Historical Commission
Dear Dr. Niblock:
The Marion County Historical Commission requests time on the June 7, 2011 Agenda for the Board
of County Commissioners for it to present the BOCC with the time capsule which was compiled in
commemoration of the Sesquicentennial of the War Between the States and in honor of the rededication of the Confederate Soldier Memorial Statue.
The Marion County Historical Commission organized the Re-dedication service for the Confederate
Soldier Memorial Statue in conjunction with the recognition of the Sesquicentennial of the War
Between the States which was held on Saturday, April 16, 2011 at the Marion County/Ocala
Veterans Park. The event was very well attended. As a part of this event the Marion County
Historical Commission requested from the several Confederate history and genealogical groups and
Union history and genealogical groups that they provide documents and/or artifacts to be placed into
a time capsule to be opened during a Bicentennial observance of the War Between the States which
would occur in April 2061.
The Marion County Clerk of Courts, David Ellspermann, has graciously proposed to keep the time
capsule in the Clerks climate controlled environment as apart 0 f its official record keeping capacity
for Marion County. An inscribed granite marker describing the time capsule and its whereabouts
has been ordered and will be placed in close proximity to the Confederate Soldier Memorial Statue.
Should you need anything further to honor this request, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanking you for your anticipated assistance and cooperation in these matters.. I am
Yours truly,

James Couillard distributed copies of maps of the proposed location and
orientation of the Confederate Soldier Memorial Statue and discussed the project. The
maps showed the statue facing northwest toward the intersection ofHwy. 40 and 25 th

project would be completed in three phases.
Price Landrum asked that if the statue were orientated due north, it would face a
communications tower. Mr. Couillard stated that it would. He also stated that there were
plans to eventually remove the tower but that there were no time set to due this.
The Chairperson asked for if there was any public input.

The Chairperson asked if there was any other public input. There being none, she
closed the public input part of the meeting. The Chairperson asked the members of the
Commission for their feelings.
Lois Brauckmuller stated that she felt the presentation was good and she approved
of the orientation of the statue as shown in the presentation.
Mike Adams asked if there would be some history written about the statue after it
was moved. Hoyalene Thomas stated that the Commission had already voted to place an
Historical Marker with the Confederate Soldier Memorial Statue after it has been moved.
Al Kunz stated that he wanted the monument placed to where it could best be
seen. He accepted the presentation.
Wiley Kerlin stated that he could accept either a north or northwest orientation.
Randy Kerlin stated that some Confederate Monuments faced north, while others
faced other directions. He also reminded the Commission that there would be a Historical
Marker put up for the Confederate Soldier Memorial Statue.
David Cook stated that the proposed location, facing the intersection of the two
streets, was ideal.
Price Landrum stated that he agreed with David Cook about the ideal aesthetics of
the proposed location. He stated that for most of its existence the statue had faced the
intersection of two streets.
Hoyalene Thomas stated that the proposed was a great plan, that it was very
approachable. She stated that the statue was a monument for soldiers who had died in the
War Between the States, soldiers who had faced north and never turned their eyes to the
enemy. She approved the northwest orientation.
The Chairperson stated that the proposal was a fabulous design. She likes that the
project will be done in three phases. She likes that the plan puts the statue back into a
prominent position in order to honor the soldiers and the men and women who paid to put
it up. She stated that the most important part of the plan was its aesthetics, that it had
maximum visibility in a park that honors all veterans.
David Cook asked if the land that the monument was being placed on was public
land. The Chairperson stated that as far as she knew the land belonged to Marion County.
Wiley Kerlin moved that this Commission recommend to the Board of County
Commissioners that the Confederate Soldier Memorial Statue be moved into the
Veteran's Park as shown on the distributed drawings, facing northwest, as soon as
possible, in time for the Sesquicentennial of the War Between the States. Randy Kerlin
seconded. The motion passed.
Wiley Kerlin thanked the people who had raised the money to move the statue,
especially Lanny Curry.
Lanny Curry stated that in spite of what was stated in the Ocala Star-Banner,
fund raising for the statue was not done. Enough money had been raised to moved the
monument but not for the lighting, landscaping and site preparation. There was
discussion of bringing this up with the Star-Banner reporter who had been working on
the monument story. Mr. Curry stated that Moses Construction would be in charge of the
project and that La Perle Monument Company.
Commander Conrad Dutton thanked this Commission, Lanny Curry and Wiley
Kerlin for the work they had done on this project.
The Chairperson returned to regular business. She brought up the budget. She
stated that this Commission had discussed requesting the same amount as last year but
that the County had requested each entity to take a cut. In view of the fact this
Commission had taken a very large hit to its budget previously, she felt we should
request the same as last year, which was $5000 for operating expenses and $4000 for
capital expenditures. David Cook moved that this Commission request the same as last
year. Wiley Kerlin seconded. The motion passed.
The Chairperson stated that there was no further business and that she would
entertain a motion to adjourn. Wiley Kerlin moved to adjourn. Hoyalene Thomas

Description/Background: This program is designed to offer Marion County
residents an incentive to replace high water use toilets (>5 gallons per flush).
Marion County Utility customers, in homes built before the 1994 plumbing code,
are eligible for this $100 rebate which will be available in the form of a utility
credit. Customers must purchase and install a new toilet with a maximum water
use of 1.6 gallons per flush.
This program costs include $140,000 for 1,400 toilet rebates (700 from each
water management district), administrative and inspection fees of $52,000, and
advertising costs of $8,000. Similar programs are already in place in Pasco,
Manatee, and Pinellas Counties, as well as the Cities of Port Charlotte and St.
Petersburg.
Page 100, Book O
Agenda Page
Number 12
December 1, 2009
We estimate that the toilet rebate program will save over 12 million gallons per
year. With an estimated 5,800 toilets in Utilitys St Johns River Water
Management District and an estimated 4,000 toilets in the Utilitys Southwest
Florida Water Management District, we anticipate requesting funding for this
program for 7 years for a total water savings of nearly 87 million gallons per year.
The utility is asking for a $50,000 match from both districts (total cost $100,000).
We estimate this program will reduce our Operations and Maintenance costs by
$112,000 over the 7 years and avert future water plant capital improvement
projects.
Budget Impact: $100,000 in Fiscal year 2011
Recommended Action: Approve a motion authorizing the Chairman to approve
Marion County Utilities to seek the Cooperative Funding from Southwest Florida
Water Management District and the St. Johns River Water Management District
for the implementation of a toilet rebate program for FY 2011.

provides an additional overview by specific projects and/or initiatives by

department. The second report (Excel spreadsheet) identifies action items, time
frames for completion, progress made on each action item, and finally the date of
completion.
Recommended Action: The Board is requested to review this report and provide
comments or questions.
Mr. Niblock addressed items from the report. He stated the Board reviewed three
different departments business plans at a recent workshop and advised that there were
24 in total that had business plans ready to be uploaded to the SharePoint portal server
for review. Mr. Niblock commented on the December issue of the County Connection
and addressed the reinstitution of the Marion County Citizens Academy that Executive
Administrative Manager Jeannie Rickman, Office of Strategic Services, would be
overseeing. The first Citizens Academy would start in March and would respond to the
citizens needs.
Commissioner Stone asked for an outline to be provided with goals, objectives
and sessions that would be covered with the Citizens Academy. Ms. Rickman advised
that the Citizens' Academy was established in 2001 and staff would re-establish that
with a beginning session in March 2010. A comprehensive 8 week course would be
offered to the public, designed to inform citizens about the challenges and issues facing
Marion County to increase participation in the government process and familiarize them
with the operations and services of local government. Ms. Rickman noted the academy
would be held annually and each participant would be required to attend 6 of the 8
sessions to be recognized and be able to graduate at the April 20, 2010 BCC Meeting.
Eleven of the 23 departments would participate in the meetings that would be scheduled
Thursday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Chair Fitos inquired as to how the public or any interested parties would be
alerted of the Academy. Ms. Rickman advised that the information would be posted on
the website, as well as flyers posted throughout the libraries and offices. Mr. Niblock
stated a media release would also be provided. Commissioner Stone stated the
program was offered free of charge and questioned of the costs incurred and how it
would be funded. Ms. Rickman stated a certain amount was allocated in one of the
budget line items, which was a minimal cost. She advised that each department would
be responsible for implementing the program, providing a speaker, etc. Ms. Rickman
noted a mock meeting would also be held.
In response to Commissioner Stone, Ms. Rickman noted staff would consider a
sponsoring vendor in the future, but did not expect much aid at this point. She advised
that staff would review participation as the program progressed throughout the year and
if favorable, it would be open in the Fall for other departments that did not participate
during the Spring session.
Ms. Rickman noted once the information was posted, applications would be
accepted in early January for the Selection Committee to review. Participants would be
required to be residents and/or business owners, as well as 18 years of age.
It was noted for the record that the Deputy Clerk received a small spiral bound
document and pamphlet in regard to the Marion County Citizens Academy, 2010

Ordinances/Transportation (9.B.) County Administrator Niblock presented the

following recommendation in relation to the Transportation Impact Fee Payment
Program:
Description/Background: In February 2008, the Board adopted a revised Impact
Fee ordinance which provided for the payment of Transportation Impact Fees
over a five year period. The purpose of this revision was to encourage and
facilitate the growth and creation of business enterprises within the County.
The revisions proposed in this item provide additional clarification regarding the
qualifying standards for the payment plan, application procedures and timelines,
the recording of a lien and procedures for late payments or default in the
program. Also included are standard application materials, standard notice of lien
letter and claim of lien forms to be used for the program.
Recommended Action: Adoption of revised Impact Fee Ordinance.
Mr. Niblock noted more definition was needed in order to provide additional
clarification to the program and qualifying standards for the payment plan. He stated
staff requested approval of the revised Impact Fee Ordinance language. Chair Fitos
inquired if a public hearing was needed. Mr. Fowler stated that was correct, noting the
request was to advertise for the public hearing.
Stone, to schedule a public hearing for consideration of the revised Transportation
Impact Fee Ordinance. The motion was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0).
Mr. Niblock stated he would bring the information back on a future date.
Commissioner Stone directed staff to bring back information to the Board as to how
many participated in the program.
Sustainable Growth Manager Lucienne Gaufillet noted there had only been one
applicant (Good Morning Daycare) as of yet. She stated many questions arose as to the
criteria, application process, addressing a default situation, etc. and noted staff worked
on the details.
Budgets/Clerk/County Administration/Purchasing (9.C.) County Administrator

Niblock presented the following recommendation from Procurement Services Director
Susan Olsen regarding purchase of the agenda software package from Sire
Technologies:
Description/Background: A team was formed to review and analyze agenda and
minutes preparation software along with meeting video solutions. The team,
made up of representatives from the IT Department and County Administration
as well as David Ellspermann, Clerk of Court, Jack Suess, Chief Deputy of
Administrative Services, and Cindy Bonvissuto, Deputy Clerk, have met with
several vendors that were on state or GSA contracts. After reviewing the
solutions and performing a cost analysis, Sire Technologies was the teams
recommended Vendor.
Sire Technologies offers a complete solution for automated agenda and minutes
preparation, electronic approval routing and notifications, streaming and archived
meeting videos, video on-demand, template and approval workflows, approval
audit history tracking and web interface publishing. This all-in-one solution will
streamline several manual processes and allow the County to eliminate the

AF
annual maintenance of four existing products. This solution is compatible with the
Countys current technology standards.
Staff is recommending that the Board allow the purchase of software and
approve a bid exemption which is permissible under the Marion County
Procurement Ordinance, as in addition to the benefits listed above, Sire
Technologies has also offered the County pricing which is discounted 15% below
the GSA contract pricing.
Budget Impact: The initial purchase amount will not exceed $75,000.00. Per
department provided information, the funding exists in accounts 1005-599101
(CC-Legislative Reserve for Contingencies) and 2510-552106 (Computer
Software) and 2510-531109 (Professional Services).
Recommended Action: Motion for the Board to approve and authorize staff to
purchase the agenda software package from Sire Technologies utilizing the
purchase order and/or procurement card process.
Mr. Niblock commented on the effort to modernize and make the agenda process
more efficient, noting staff was recommending a new software program. He thanked
Clerk Ellspermann and staff that participated in the review process.
Mr. Niblock stated the Board received a considerable amount of money to the
Reserve for Contingencies that Clerk Ellspermann had turned back, which would be
applied to the program. Commissioner Payton referred to the budget impact and
inquired if the total cost of $75,000 was divided between departments or per
department. Mr. Niblock noted the total cost was not to exceed $75,000, however
because there was not an exact amount due to the additional discount, staff did not
know which amount of money to assign to each account. He stated there had been
additional discussion with Commissioner Stone and Clerk Ellspermann on the location
of that money, which should all come from one source.
Commissioner Stone clarified that staff hoped the amount would come in under
$60,000. He addressed funding concerns, noting (when Clerk Ellspermann returned
money back into Contingency in the amount of $90,000) he requested the Board to
consider earmarking part of that amount to help fund that particular project.
Commissioner Stone advised that it may list different accounts, but he preferred all to
be paid for out of Reserve for Contingencies (which came from Clerk Ellspermanns
refund). Mr. Niblock stated that would be a modification to the written action. Clerk
Ellspermann clarified that it covered the cost of Administration and the Clerks portion.
Mr. Niblock asked that the recommended action allow the transfer of those dollars per
the amounts that Clerk Ellspermann mentioned.
Commissioner Stone inquired as to when the program would be operational.
Information Technology (IT) Director Valerie Kendrick noted the vendor advised that it
may take 6 weeks to have it fully implemented, at a minimal. She stated there was a
training schedule for the Clerks Office, as well as the County Departments.
Commissioner Stone stated he was in support of the program.
McClain, to authorize staff to purchase the agenda software package from Sire
Technologies utilizing the Purchase Order and/or Procurement Card process. The

Buildings & Grounds/Parks & Recreation (9.D.) County Administrator Niblock

presented the following recommendation regarding the relocation of the Confederate
Statue:
Description/Background: At the November 3, 2009 Board of County
Commissioners meeting, the consensus of the Board was to explore the
relocation of the Confederate Solider statue to the Ocala/Marion County
Veterans Memorial Park. Subsequent to that meeting, Landis Curry, Jr. spoke at
the November 17 meeting proposing the statue be relocated to a place of honor
with private funds. Three places of honor for the permanent relocation of the
statue have been identified for Board consideration: the Ocala/Marion County
Veterans Memorial Park, the Marion County Courthouse or East Hall on the
McPherson Governmental Complex. The pros and cons of each option, as
identified, are explored in further detail below:
1.
Ocala/Marion County Veterans Memorial Park
a. Relocate the statue to the Civil War Plaza. However, the statue, which
stands more than two (2) stories tall, would be disproportionately tall
for placement in the Civil War Plaza given its potential for
overshadowing the adjacent Medal of Honor monument, which is 13
feet high and on a lower grade. This may be accomplished by
removing an eight foot section near the top of the statue and the steps
at the base so it would not overwhelm or dominate that area of the
park, or appear as "an after thought."
b. Relocate the statue to the northwest corner of the park where it could
remain intact as a 23 foot tall statue.
2.
Marion County Courthouse
a. Leave the statue where it is and incorporate a Marion Friendly
Landscape and accent lighting. While this is the most cost effective
solution, the statue is not highly visible nor is it in a place of honor.
However, in a letter dated December 27, 2007, attached, former
County Administrator, Patrick Howard indicated the "new site is
permanent."
b. Relocate the statue, per the attached plans developed in conjunction
with the construction of the new Judicial Center, approximately 75 feet
from its current location. This would require site changes including the
removal of a section of concrete and reinforcing the new foundation to
accommodate the weight of the statue. The options for relocation on
site are extremely limited.
3.
East Hall on the McPherson Governmental Complex
a. The area north of East Hall is dedicated to Native American history so
it would be recommended to install it on the west side of the building,
if this location is considered.
Budget Impact: Cost estimates are attached.
Recommended Action: The Board is requested to discuss the options provided or
host a workshop to obtain public opinion and direct the Clerk to establish a
separate fund for acceptance of donations for relocation expenses, if desired.
Mr. Niblock noted staff had been involved in researching sites within the specific
locations. He advised there were many options that were not included and commented
on those presented. Mr. Niblock stated the decision was whether to move the statue
Page 108, Book O
Agenda Page

R
AF
versus who was paying for it and clarified that it was up to the Board as to where to
place the monument. He noted the Judicial Center Expansion was originally designed
and illustrated the statue being moved approximately 75 feet back from where it was
currently located. Mr. Niblock addressed the significant moving expenses and
commented on the advantages and disadvantages for locating the statue to each of the
different places.
Chair Fitos stated the first order of business was to have a discussion as to
whether or not to relocate the statue. It was the general consensus of the Board to
support relocating the statue.
Chair Fitos advised that the next issue was to consider the most appropriate
venue for relocating the statue. Commissioner Stone preferred the Veterans Memorial
Park and inquired as to the differences in the two locations presented.
Jim R. Couillard, Landscape Architect, Parks & Recreation Department, stated
currently the Civil War Plaza on the east end was condensed and small. The other area
that was considered was the northwest corner of the property as it was open and behind
where the old fire station was located. Mr. Couillard stated the area consisted of lawn,
Oak trees, etc., which provided a sense of space and scale that could accommodate the
statue. He advised of cost estimates, noting there was a visionary plan as to how to get
the park to re-bond, which presented an opportunity to incorporate a new area that
would host this sort of scale and proper orientation of the statue. Mr. Couillard
addressed concerns as where the statue should be facing for military etiquette.
Landis Curry, NE 1st Avenue, appeared and commended Mr. Niblock and staff for
the analysis that was provided. He proposed the Board hold the matter in abeyance
until after the first of next year as to picking a location to provide more time to analyze
the different sites and not make the same mistake (of not obtaining public input). Mr.
Curry suggested scheduling a public workshop, noting he did not intend to raise money
until he knew where the statue would be located (and a cost amount was set). He noted
there was a good opportunity to obtain in-kind contributions from private industries, as
well as the possibility of some grants. Mr. Curry reiterated his suggestion to hold the
matter over until the first part of the year as it was not the best time to try to raise money
for anything. He recommended providing the public an opportunity to participate, as well
as staff time to research more information.
Vanessa Thomas, NE 142nd Place, Ft. McCoy, Chairman of the Marion County
Historical Commission, appeared and noted she provided a recommendation of the
Historical Commission to the Board. She stated the Historical Commission considered
the various sites as presented in Mr. Niblocks analysis. Ms. Thomas noted the
Historical Commission had limited information, cost-wise, to work with during
discussions. She advised that their figures were similar to those presented in regard to
the history of the statue as far as the importance of its placements. Ms. Thomas
commented on the suggestions and recommendations of the Historical Commission,
noting they would be amenable and would welcome the opportunity to participate in the
process of finding a new location. She advised that she did not believe where it was
currently sitting did it justice as those in the past spent money to erect the statue in a
very prominent place. The Historical Commission believed that the statue was a
monument and a remembrance to soldiers from Marion County, the State of Florida and
other states that died in the war on American soil. Ms. Thomas stated she would not be
averse to putting off the decision until after the first of the year.
Chair Fitos noted prudence dictated in terms of the suggestions made. She

stated the Board did not want to do anything in haste and noted Commissioner Stone
volunteered to be the liaison at a prior meeting. Chair Fitos suggested setting up a
committee with the appropriate parties to put together formal recommendations to be
brought back in a workshop setting to engage the public as a whole. Mr. Niblock
inquired if a workshop or public hearing was better suited. Chair Fitos noted a public
hearing was more appropriate to engage public comment. Commissioner Stone agreed.
Commissioner Amsden suggested photographing the statue, removing the
background and placing it into scale with pictures of the different sites. Mr. Niblock
stated staff would work on that and consider options as to removing the base.
It was noted for the record that the Deputy Clerk received a one page letter from
Ms. Thomas, dated November 30, 2009, regarding the Confederate Soldier Statue.

Comprehensive Plan/Ordinances (6.A.) Deputy Clerk Li presented Proof of

The Notice stated the Board would consider adopting an Ordinance regarding Large
Scale Amendment 09-L11 amending the Capital Improvement Element of the
Comprehensive Plan to update the five-year schedule of capital improvements.
Acting Growth Management Director Jimmy Massey presented the following
recommendation:
Description/Background: Comprehensive Plan Amendment 09-L11 will update
the Capital Improvements Element (CIE) Five-Year Schedule of Capital
Improvements (Schedule) for FY 2009/2010 through FY 2013/2014 as required
by the State of Florida. The CIE Schedule contains projects for facilities and
services with an adopted level of service standard in the Comprehensive Plan.
Those facilities and services with an adopted level of service standard are the
following: Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer, Transportation, Recreation and Open
Space, Solid Waste, Drainage and Public School Facilities. The Comprehensive
Plan Amendment report will be provided under separate cover for the Boards
consideration.
Recommended Action: Motion to approve the attached Ordinance adopting
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 09-L11 and authorize the Chair and Clerk to
sign the ordinance.
(Ed. Note: FY is the abbreviation of fiscal year.)
Mr. Massey noted the public hearing was in regard to updating the CIE, which
mirrored the TIP and CIP that were adopted earlier. He clarified that it included the
projects that were at capacity and staff had to update every year by December 1 to
eliminate the previous year and add a new year.
There was no public comment.

Contracts & Agreements/Road Improvements (6.B.) Deputy Clerk Li

presented Proof of Publication of a display ad entitled, Notice of Public Hearing, Marion
County, Florida, Board of County Commissioners, Notice of Intent to Consider
Development Order Agreement Amendment [Second Amendment to Master Traffic
Mitigation Agreement SR 200 Corridor] (Pursuant to Sections 163.3220-163.3243,
Florida Statues), published in the Star Banner newspaper on November 23, 2009. The
Notice stated the Board would consider a proposed Amendment to the Development
Order Agreement.
Acting Growth Management Director Jimmy Massey presented the following
recommendation:
Description/Background: In 2001, Marion County, the City of Ocala, Marion
Community Hospital, Circle Fore Corporation and Morgran Company entered into
a joint Master Traffic Mitigation Agreement (Agreement) for improvements to
the SR 200 Corridor. The Agreement has been effective since that time, including
a prior Amendment approved in 2006. The parties are requesting to extend the
terms of the Agreement to 20 years from the original effective date, from 2011 to
2021, as well as some other clarification and revisions to update the Agreement.
Pursuant to Chapter 163.3225, FS, the Agreement and any Amendments must
be considered by the Board in two separate public hearings. Staff has reviewed
the request and has no objections to the proposed Amendment, a draft of which
is attached. As this is the first of two required public hearings regarding the
Amendment, the Board will only receive public comment at this time and continue
the Amendment consideration to the second public hearing.
Recommended Action: Motion to continue consideration of the Amendment to
the second scheduled public hearing on Tuesday, December 15, 2009, at 10
a.m. or as soon thereafter as possible.
Mr. Massey noted this was the first of two public hearings, with the next one
being scheduled for December 15. He advised that since the City of Ocala was a party,
they were also holding public hearings on the same two dates for the agreement. Mr.
Massey noted the Board would only hear public comment at this time and then consider
the amendment in the second public hearing.
Commissioner Payton inquired as to the reason for extending the terms of the
agreement. Mr. Massey noted the basis was that the projects associated with the
agreement had yet to build out as there was still some unused capacity originally
reserved. He stated the applicants were requesting the ability to continue to use that
capacity that was originally reserved for those developments. Commissioner Payton
inquired as to the consequences of not extending the agreement. Mr. Massey noted the
trips reserved for those particular developments would go away and the parties that
were subject to the agreement would have to adhere to the normal process of obtaining
trips to support future development. He advised that the parties to the agreement
funded costs of improving SR 200 from a 2-lane to a 6-lane facility and because of that
reason, Marion County and the City of Ocala agreed that it was justified for those

AF
parties to reserve some of the available trips. Mr. Massey clarified that since the
developments had not yet built out, the reserved trips had not been used.
Commissioner Amsden asked if there were originally four parties and if the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) contributed over 50%. Mr. Massey noted
that was correct and advised that the private parties matched the contribution of FDOT.
In response to Commissioner Amsden, Mr. Massey noted FDOT did not have issues
with extending the agreement because local governments were responsible for
maintaining the level of service (LOS) and assigning those trips to reserve capacity.
Steve Gray, NE 1st Avenue, stated he represented the Hospital Corporation of
America (in early 2000), which owned and operated Ocala Regional Medical Center
(ORMC). He advised that they had entered into a contract to purchase the property from
the Fores where West Marion Community Hospital was now located. Mr. Gray noted in
the course of working on the project, he discovered there was no paper capacity for the
road in front of the hospital site. He stated FDOT had 6-lanes on SR 200 from SW 60th
Avenue out to CR 484.
Mr. Gray noted FDOT agreed to fund half of the $7,750,000 cost of the 6-laning
project on a matching grant, with three private property owners funding the balance
(Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), the Fore Family and Morgran Company). He
advised that the County handled the engineering supervision and the private parties put
up $500,000 extra to cover cost overruns and were 100% obligated. Mr. Gray noted the
funding parties were allowed to reserve trips and addressed the reservation agreements
lasting 10 years. He clarified that Legislature modified Chapter 163 so reservation
agreements could last up to 20 years, which provided the ability to push the timeframe
out.
Mr. Gray commented on the amount of trips for each party and future
expansions. He addressed the extension of the trips and commented on development
along SR 200. Mr. Gray reiterated that the private parties paid $3,775,000, with FDOT
providing matching funds. He commented on the build outs along SR 200, noting what
occurred had been positive. Mr. Gray advised that the parties requested Board
approval.
There was no public comment.

Mitigation Agreement for the SR 200 Corridor to Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 10:00

Mr. Harrell,
The person who answered the phone located Ms. Tucker and I paid for the return of service records.
Regarding the attached records for the "Johnny Reb" Confederate statue, it appears the account is still
open, is that correct? The highlighted part shows donations by Craig W. Turner going to Michael Dean
and Randy Briggs, is that correct?
Total for "revenue" and "Civil War Statue" each shows $207,497, is that correct? That amount is about
10 times the estimate of $25,000 shown in the Ocala Star Banner story. The accounting provided is
difficult to understand and does not appear to meet GAAP - Generally Accepted Accounting
Principals.
Thank you.
Neil J. Gillespie

Yes, certainly. The two page document can be scanned and provided to you via e-mail in a pdf format and there will be
no extra charge for doing so.
I am not aware of any "disability accommodation procedure" for the Clerk's office or any forms related thereto. We
evaluate and then grant or deny any specific disability accommodation requests that we receive from employees or
customers on a request-by-request basis. It is my understanding and belief that Court Administration for the Fifth
Judicial Circuit is responsible for disability accommodations pertaining to litigants' participation in court proceedings and
that the County's Facilities Management Department is responsible for disability accommodations pertaining to people
physically accessing the courthouse.

Thank you Mr. Harrell. Since the return of service is only two pages, can those pages be scanned and
provided by email in PDF format? I am willing to pay for the copies the same as paper copies, and I
am willing to pay a reasonable fee for providing the records by email in PDF.
Regarding disability accommodation, since the Clerk and the Court are separate entities, does the
Clerk have its own separate disability accommodation procedure? If so, kindly provide the forms or
information to request disability accommodation with the Clerk. Thank you.

Mr. Gillespie:
In response to your public records request of yesterday, please note as follows:
1-The court file contains no record of the plaintiff having filed a nonresident bond to date; and
2-A copy of the requested two-page Return of Service with attached Civil Action Summons can and will be provided
you upon your payment of the $2.00 copying costs. You may pay by credit/debit card by calling Mellissa Tucker at
352/671-5614.
It is my belief that the Clerk was required by rule 1.070(a) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure to issue the
summonses presented upon the commencement of the action once the required summons issuance fees were paid.
Whether the particular summons in question was defective and whether the clerk may have any liability for having
issued it, along with all of the other matters set forth in your letter to me of yesterday, are all matters that you will need
to take up with the court.
Sincerely,
Greg Harrell

RE: Records request, Art. I, Sec. 24, Florida Constitution
Dear Mr. Harrell:
This is another request for records inadvertently omitted from my earlier request. Provide
records for the fundraising to move Johnny Reb reported in the Ocala-Star Banner November
18, 2009, copy attached:
On Tuesday, the County Commission appeared to reach a consensus to relocate the statue
of the Confederate infantryman, known commonly as "Johnny Reb."
relocate the 101-year-old monument and volunteered to help raise the estimated $25,000
needed to move it from its present location, a nook on the building's south side fronting
Northwest First Street.
To further the project, commissioners agreed to set up an account with the court clerk's
office to accept tax-exempt donations and accepted Commissioner Charlie Stone's offer
to serve as a liaison to work with Curry and other parties interested in finding Johnny
Reb a new home.
The same Ocala-Star Banner story reported Marion County received almost $2.5 million in
federal stimulus funding from President Barack Obama's $787-billion spending program.
Provide records showing the receipt and use of the $2.5 federal stimulus. Did Marion County
keep and use the $2.5 federal stimulus? Or return the money under Confederate ideology?
Regarding disability accommodation, I believe the Court is also subject to the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, (Pub.L. 93112, 87 Stat. 355, enacted September 26, 1973), codified as 29 U.S.C. 701
because the Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs receiving federal
financial assistance, and it appears the Court got much of the $2.5 federal stimulus money.
Sincerely,
Neil J. Gillespie

County prepares to move Confederate

monument
County administrator to create list of possible sites for statue.
By Bill Thompson
Staff writer
Published: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 6:30 a.m.
The Confederate monument that stood guard in

front of the Marion County Courthouse for
nearly a century, only to be stuck in a corner
two years ago as the facility was expanded, is
likely moving.
The question remains: Where?
On Tuesday, the County Commission appeared
FILE
to reach a consensus to relocate the statue of

the Confederate infantryman, known commonly
The Confederate statue at the Marion

courthouse.
as "Johnny Reb."
relocate the 101-year-old monument and volunteered to help raise the estimated
$25,000 needed to move it from its present location, a nook on the building's south
side fronting Northwest First Street.
To further the project, commissioners agreed to set up an account with the court
clerk's office to accept tax-exempt donations and accepted Commissioner Charlie
Stone's offer to serve as a liaison to work with Curry and other parties interested in
finding Johnny Reb a new home.
County Administrator Lee Niblock said he would prepare at least three new
locations for the board to consider at its next meeting, scheduled for Dec. 1.
Niblock indicated that the Ocala-Marion County Veterans Memorial Park, a site
favored by many, is one option. Leaving the monument where it is will be offered as
another, he added. As for where else it might go, Niblock was mum, only saying the
spot would reflect the statue's "historical significance."
Johnny Reb was removed in 2007 from the front of the courthouse in downtown
Ocala in preparation for a $41-million expansion.
Other than spending a four-year stint in storage in the late 1980s when the
courthouse was last renovated, the two-story-tall, 15-ton statue has been a fixture at
the facility's entrance since being dedicated in April 1908.
The current courthouse project is expected to be completed in January.
Former county administrator Pat Howard had designated Johnny Reb's current
location as permanent and Niblock was inclined to concur unless the County
Commission directed otherwise. Curry, a U.S. Navy veteran and member of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans, appealed to the board to find a "suitable location" for the
monument.
Relating that his great-grandfather, Lawton Curry, was a Confederate soldier in the
Florida cavalry who had been wounded in battle, Curry said it was not "in a place of
honor and not in a proper location."
His preference is the veterans' park, at Fort King Street and Southeast 25th Avenue,
about two miles from where Johnny Reb is now situated.
Curry also said he was trying to fulfill a commitment to the late Tommy Needham, a
former county commissioner and impetus for the park.
"I promised him that I would not let the issue go away," Curry told the commission.
Curry said he felt strongly about the need to sustain the memory of the efforts of
those who fought in the Civil War.
While the monument has periodically ignited controversy as civil rights groups
complained it is an affront to blacks, the commission's reluctance to overrule
Howard's decision was primarily rooted in the cost of moving it.
Relocating the statue requires a specialized moving company that can dismantle its
three fitted parts and reassemble it.
Stone suggested the board could perhaps convince some company to offer in-kind
services to move it.
Once the cost issue is resolved, the monument should be placed in a more
prominent position, Stone offered.
"It's just not in a location where people can see it on an ongoing basis," he said.
In other action, the board learned that Marion County had received almost $2.5
million in federal stimulus funding to make the courthouse and some county offices
more energy efficient.
Roughly $727,000 of that amount will be used to install new cooling units to replace
the 50-year-old units at the courthouse's heating and air conditioning system. An
additional $303,000 will be spent to replace the facility's windows and lighting.
Another $450,000 will go for installing solar heating panels at the Marion County
Jail.
Other improvements include updating traffic signals, installing waterless urinals,
improving lighting and air conditioning at three county firehouses and replacing
windows.
"It's a huge accomplishment that will save the citizens a ton of money,"
Commissioner Stan McClain observed.
Congress passed President Barack Obama's $787-billion spending program in
February.
