2012 Franklin County Work Program Comments

US 98 Surface Condition Survey Results

2012 / 2013 Candidate Projects Franklin County Submitted to District 3

2012 FRANKLIN COUNTY WORK PROGRAM COMMENTS

1. US 98 from Carrabelle to Eastpoint

Franklin County is concerned about the pavement condition of US 98 between Carrabelle and

Eastpoint because this is the primary travel corridor in the County. Asphalt in the westbound

lane is deteriorating in patches along the centerline causing shallow ruts. The Franklin County

Commission requests District 3 conduct a field inspection and rut/ride survey for this section of

US 98. The County believes this section is in worse condition then the section west of

Apalachicola which is scheduled for resurfacing in 2015. They would like to see a comparison of

rut/ride survey results for these two segments of US 98.

Commissioner Jackel commented on the cause to the condition of the road. She believes it has

a lot to do with the sea wall that was built along the highway.

Mr. McCarron discussed her comments.

2. US 98 Downtown Apalachicola

Page 7 of 14

The City of Apalachicola requests FDOT assistance evaluating the concerns of business owners in

the downtown commercial area of US 98 (Market Street) and the concrete stairs near the

intersection of Market Street and Avenue E where US 98 takes a 90 degree turn. Improvements

should be coordinated with the resurfacing project scheduled for 2014 [Work Program

#42874510 - SR 30 (US 98) from W of CR 384 12TH St to Apalachicola River Bridge]. FDOT

Project Manager Alaina Webb has contacted the City and discussions are ongoing. The

consulting engineer for the project is currently evaluating design alternatives for making the

intersection ADA accessible. The design engineer will be holding a public hearing when the

plans for the resurfacing project are 60% complete. You will be notified about this meeting so

you can encourage the business owners to attend.

3. Capital City to the Sea Multiuse Trail

The Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency (CRTPA) will be conducting a feasibility

study for a regional trail project known as the Capital City to the Sea Multiuse Trail (CCSMT) in

the near future. CRTPA is currently developing a scope-of-services (SOS) for the feasibility study

that only includes Leon and Wakulla County. The original concept for the trail network includedeastern Franklin County and Carrabelle, but CRTPA cannot include areas outside their boundary.

Franklin County and Carrabelle request FDOT funding for an identical feasibility study following

the same scope and timing as the CRTPA project to ensure a complete project.

U.S. 98 From Carrabelle to Eastpoint

The Franklin Commission has been concerned about the pavement condition of US 98 between

Carrabelle and Eastpoint since the damage from Hurricane Dennis in 2005. In 2012 the Franklin

Commission question the priority of resurfacing the section of US 98 between the Gulf County

line and CR 385 (Tilton Road), which is scheduled for resurfacing in 2016, before the Carrabelle

to Eastpoint segment because the Commission believed it was in worse condition. The FDOT

surveys state roads annually and in 2012 the section between Carrabelle and Eastpoint was

surveyed a second time in October. The results of the road condition survey are provided in the

following table. The District 3 Materials Engineer has reviewed these results and concluded that

the crack, ride, and rut measurements did not meet the criteria for resurfacing in 2012, but

surface conditions will continue to be surveyed annually and this section will be scheduled for

resurfacing when warranted.

Commissioners Lockley and Parrish commented on the condition of US 98 in Apalachicola.

Commissioner Massey suggested doing the road paving at night time and hiring local police

officers to keep the roads safe as they work.

Commissioner Parrish and Mr. McCarron discussed the timeline to get these projects startedand finished.

Chairman Sanders stated that US 98 has been a concern of the Board for years and the Board

has continued to inform the State of this condition. She reminded Mr. McCarron that these

problems were due to the damage from the storm but also because ofthe States quick fix

solution.

who provided testimony in defense of the Apalachicola Bay, and for allowing Mr. Steverson

to testify, and include the Boards comments and the Resolution approved by the Board with

the letter; Motion carried 5-0.

2- As the Board is aware, the Department of Corrections has announced its intention of closing

Bay City Work Camp. Since the county provided the land for the work camp, I was contacted by

Mr. Darrell Branning, DC staff, and asked whether the Board would want the land back as the

deed has a reverter clause. If the Board did not want the land then the state Division of State

Lands would consider the land surplus and would dispose of the property. I have spoken to

the Chairman and to the County Attorney and I have written a letter stating the Board would

like the property back. Mr. Branning was unsure when the transfer would happen but it should

be within the next 60 days. Board discussion about future uses of property.

The Board discussed possible uses and projects of the facility.

Commissioner Parrish stated that the Board needs to move hastily with a use, so the facility

isnt vandalized or left to deteriorate.Commissioner Lockley suggested advertising on the Florida Association of Counties website.

maps will be effective Feb. 5, 2014.

5- Board action to accept an additional $529,689 of construction funds from DOT for the

$1,822,301 for this project. When the Board opened the bids at the last meeting the lowest bid

was for $2,226,001.82, so the low bid was more than the funds available. DOT is awarding the

Board additional funds so that the project can be developed as designed. The total amount

available for construction is now $2,351,990.82.

Motion by Lockley, seconded by Parrish, to accept an additional $529,689 of construction

8- Inform the Board that both Commissioner Jackel and Commissioner Massey have advised methat lights on the Eastpoint channel marker are out. We have called the USACOE in Panama City

as we believe aids to navigation are maintained by the Corps.

Commissioner Massey and Mr. Pierce discussed additional lights that are out throughout the

County.

9- The NWFMD has called asking for a list of stormwater problems in the county. As the

commissioners think of areas in their districts that need work please contact me. As I

understand it, this will be list a used to get future funding; they do not have any construction

money at this time.

Chairman Sanders stated that this would be a good time to list the areas due to recent flooding

in the County.

10- Inform the Board that the 3rd

Annual Race for the Bay Marathon will be held Sunday, Oct.

20. The race organizer, Mr. Mark Henderson, has called to say he is making the same

arrangements with everyone as he had last year, including coordinating the race with the

Sheriffs Office.

of this project can be submitted in writing.

paying for membership.

13- Board action to award the low bid on the repairs to the St. George Island Revetment and

Road to Gulf Coast Utility Contractors (GUIC) for $434,511. This is a FEMA reimbursed project. I

was incorrect at the last meeting when I said the deadline for this work is Nov. 30. It is Jan. 2,

2014.

Commissioner Jackel stated that she would like to be sure the deadline of November 30th

is met

and asked that Mr. Pierce and Preble-Rish to stays on top of this project.

Motion by Jackel, seconded by Massey, to approve awarding low bid on repairs to the SGI

Revetment and Road to Gulf Coast Utility Contractors (GUIC) for $434,511; Motion carried 5-

0.

14- Library Update. At the last budget workshop, the Board had a discussion regarding the

potential ownership of the new Eastpoint library.

Ms. Joyce Estes has provided me with packets for the Board regarding the history of the

project. She has advised me that the USDA grant/loan agreement the Friends received was one

specifically designed for non-profits. If the county ever wanted to take over the loan directly the

USDA would have to agree. Further, Ms. Estes wants the Board to know that there are

restrictions placed on the property so that the wetlands must be protected. (Pass out

information prepared by Friends.)

15- Inform the Board that I have received an email from the Chairman where a resident of thecounty is asking the county adopt an ordinance to protect and preserve 2nd

Amendment rights. I

am going to turn this email over to the county attorney for review, as I am not sure a county

ordinance will have any effect in protecting rights if the 2nd

Amendment is every changed.

16- Inform the Board that the Circuit Judge has signed the condemnation valuation order for the

4 SECON lots on Alligator Point. I have submitted it to FEMA for reimbursement. As soon as the

reimbursement comes in, we can then begin construction of the 370 feet of road that will

connect Harbor Circle to road in front of the Alligator Point Fire Station.

17- Inform Board the Dept. of the Air Force has contacted the county and advised that the Air

Force is considering establishing helicopter landing and drop zones, airstrips, and a number ofdifferent landing and air training activities in Blackwater River State Forest and Tates Hell State

Forest. The proposed action is needed because restricted areas over Eglin AFB create scheduling

conflicts with nonhazardous training. There is a public meeting on August 29 at the Apalachicola

Community Center, starting at 6 PM, for anyone seeking more information.

Commissioner Lockley mentioned that the military might be interested in the Bay City Work

Camp property.

18- Inform the Board that Ms. Debbie Belcher has informed me that Eastpoint Sewer and Water

has closed out its CDBG grant and so the county is eligible for another CDBG. The limitation on

CDBG is that the program has to serve low and moderate income households. The county has

previously heard requests from All Pt. for fire hydrants, from the City of Apalachicola for an

expansion of sewer or water into the county, and from residents in Lanark Village seeking

neighborhood improvements, like fixing sidewalks. Ms. Belcher has not provided me with a

timeline for when the CDBG application is due. Would the Board like a presentation from Ms.

Belcher?

Commissioner Parrish discussed a fire hydrant expansion project he has been talking about with

the City of Apalachicola, insurance costs for areas that dont have fire hydrants.

The Board members asked that Ms. Belcher attends the next Meeting with possible projects

and ideas for CDBG funding in the County.Chairman Sanders and Commissioner Massey discussed issues with the sidewalk in Lanark

Village.

Mr. Pierce discussed a call he received from Mr. Knickerbocker, DACS Representative, who

would like to attend the next Meeting in order to discuss the lease project with the Board, as

they have decided not to move forward.

Mr. Pierce discussed the possibility of funding for re-shelling projects. He stated that there is a

match and he recommends contacting Gulf Coast Workforce for the match.

Commissioner Lockley stated that the last re-shelling program was too restrictive and wouldlike more participants in the program. Mr. Pierce commented on this issue.

Chairman Sanders agreed that there should be a more broad spectrum of participation in the

projects and commented on the DACS project and the re-shelling project.

Commissioner Massey commented on this matter.

Motion by Jackel, seconded by Massey, to accept funding for re-shelling program with Mr.

Pierces recommendation; Motion carried 5-0.

The Board discussed the acceptance of Paradise Road as a County road and the possibility of

accepting other roads in the County once they are brought up to the Countys standard.

Commissioner Jackel asked for an update on the SGI Pier Project.

Mr. Pierce stated that a sub-contractor on the project served notice that they havent been

paid and would leave the project. He stated that invoices were submitted and paid so the sub-

contractor was back on the job.

Clay Smallwood, of Preble-Rish, provided additional information on this issue.

Commissioner Jackel expressed her disappointment with the way Preble-Rish has handled this

project and would like more aggressive action by them on future projects. She stated that if

there isnt substantial progress this week she would like the contractor removed from the job

and local contractors considered for the completion of it.

Commissioner Parrish stated that in the future a higher penalty should be included in the

contracts for deadlines not being met.

Attorney Shuler stated that there is a higher deadline penalty of $750 per day penalty in the

upcoming project.

Attorney Shuler explained the time deadline for a proposed half cent sales tax that would allow

Weems Hospital funding for the ambulance service.

Commissioner Jackel and Attorney Shuler discussed the guidelines for use of the current surtax

and why it couldnt be used for ambulance service.

Attorney Shuler continued his explanation of the process for a ballot on this matter. He statedthat today was the deadline to allow the Supervisor of Elections Office to move forward with

this election in order to allow this surtax to be collected.

Commissioner Jackel stated that she would be in favor of this action for next year since

property taxes are going up this year and she isnt in favor of mail out ballots.

Allen Fifer, of the Concerned Citizens of Franklin County, asked if it is the intention of the Board

to use the funding of this tax to reduce the ad valorem taxes and would like to have the Inter-

local agreements reviewed for some flexibility for the County Commission.

FL Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)

6) FWC Adds Four Additional License-Free Fishing Days - Governor Rick Scott and the FWC announced that fouradditional license-free fishing days will be added to the 2014 calendar. Florida's recreational freshwater and

saltwater fishing industry has an $8.9 billion economic impact and events like these help grow the industry even

more. Florida currently offers the public four license-free fishing days per year for residents and visitors. Saltwater

license-free fishing days this year were on June 1 and Sept. 1 and freshwaters were April 6 and June 8.

The additional saltwater license-free fishing days will be Oct. 12 and Nov. 30 and additional freshwater license-free

days will be Nov. 29 and Dec. 28. The FWC also set dates for 2014 and beyond. All eight days will now fall on the

same day of the week year to year, allowing potential anglers to plan fishing trips in advance.

For 2014 and beyond, the following dates will be license-free fishing days:

7) FWC Passes Rule Prohibiting Importation of DeerThe FWC at its Pensacola commission meeting on Sept. 6,passed a rule prohibiting the importation of live captive deer into Florida from out-of-state sources. The rule was

passed in an effort to reduce the chances of chronic wasting disease (CWD) being introduced into the state. Eighteen

other states, including Georgia and Alabama, also prohibit the importation of live cervids (deer, elk and moose).

CWD is not known to affect people but is a contagious neurological disease affecting cervids. It is always fatal, and

there is no known cure or vaccine. So far, the disease has been discovered in 22 states, two Canadian provinces and

in South Korea.

To implement the decision immediately, the FWC also issued anexecutive orderprohibiting importation of cervidseffective, Sept. 6, 2013. The order includes limited exemptions for reindeer and zoos.

8) FWC Takes Action on Snapper & Grouper- The FWC has approved an Oct. 1-21 supplemental recreational redsnapper season in Gulf state waters for 2013 and eliminated a Feb. 1 March 31 closure affecting several species of

grouper in Gulf of Mexico state waters. The elimination changes go into effect before the scheduled closures would

have occurred. The season eliminations will also make state regulations consistent with federal regulations.

The Oct. 1-21 supplemental recreational red snapper season in Gulf state waters is for 2013 only. An October

supplemental season has also been proposed for Gulf federal waters. Federal fishery managers are still analyzing

recreational harvest estimates for the 2013 regular season to determine whether or not to open the recreational red

snapper season in Gulf federal waters. NOAA Fisheries Service is expected to make an announcement regarding the

potential federal season sometime in the next few weeks.

Grouper species affected by elimination of the Feb. 1 March 31 Gulf closure include black, red, red hind, rock hind,

scamp, yellowfin and yellowmouth.

9) FWC Implements Special-Events License Exemption for Disabled Vets, Military Personnel - The FWC hasimplemented a new recreational hunting and fishing license exemption for disabled veterans, active and reserve

duty military personnel, immediate family members of these veterans and military personnel and assistants during

special events designed for the enjoyment or rehabilitation of participating military personnel and disabled

veterans.

Our disabled veterans and military have given so much to us that we wanted to give something to them, by

allowing them to participate in fishing or hunting events without having to buy a license and/or permit, Chairman

Richard Corbett said.

Event organizers apply for the permit to exempt their qualifying participants.

To qualify for the exemption, special events must be designed to provide rehabilitation or enjoyment to

participating disabled veterans or active or reserve duty military personnel in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces,U.S. Coast Guard or Florida National Guard. Immediate family members (parents, spouses and children) of

participating disabled veterans and military personnel and one designated assistant for each disabled veteran are

included in each events license and permit exemptions.

Exemptions will last for the duration of the events. FWC regional directors, as the executive directors designee, will

issue these permits. Established seasons, bag or slot limits, size restrictions and all other laws will still apply. Limited-

entry activities wont be permitted under this exemption.

Report to the Franklin County Board of County CommissionersSeptember 17, 2013

1- Mr. Dewitt Polous, Mosquito Control Director, would like the Board to know that hewill be off, starting tomorrow, Sept. 18, for approximately 2 weeks while he recovers

from knee surgery. Mr. Scott Tucker will be filling in for Mr. Polous although Mr.Polous will be available by phone if something comes up. I have Mr. Tuckers cell phonenumber if the commissioners need it.

2- Mr. Polous recommends the Board write a letter in support of the FSU Panama Citycampus as it tries to restore its mosquito lab and services by getting funding from nextyears legislature. The program provided critical services to all the NW Florida counties,including offering the required training that now must be obtained in Orlando, andprovided mosquito identification which is now required in order to receive FEMAreimbursements. During storm events FEMA is requiring proof that a certain kind ofmosquito population is in existence otherwise they will not reimburse the county for

additional spraying. Board action to write letter.

3- Inform the Board that Congressman Southerland has asked for an amendment to thefunding mechanism in the Fisheries Disaster Mitigation Fund that will allow theApalachicola Bay oyster failure to be eligible for funding if Congress appropriatesmoney. Provide Board with copy of letter.

4- Inform Board that I received an electronic response from the US Air Force indicatingthey had received the Boards letter.

5- Seek Board input on name change. The Dept. of Economic Opportunity is respondingto comments that the current designation of many Florida rural counties as Rural Areasof Economic Critical Concern has negative connotations in the business community.

DEO is trying to counter that concern by changing the name of the designation, and sinceFranklin County is one of the RACEC counties, DEO is asking for the Board to vote onwhich of the four names it prefers:

Rural Areas of Opportunity; Targeted Rural Areas of Economic Growth; RuralFlorida Areas of Strategic Opportunities; and Rural Florida First Regions.

6- Provide Board with bridge report on Syrup Branch Bridge. While the bridge isclassified as functionally obsolete it is not structurally deficient nor is DOTrecommending any changes to the weight limit on the bridge.

7- Board action to approve the 2013 CRS re-certification. The CRS program is avoluntary participatory program that provides reductions to flood insurance premiums if alocal government meets certain thresholds in the National Flood Insurance Program.Franklin Countys participation provides a 15% reduction in premiums on floodinsurance policies in the county.

Librarian, effective Oct. 31. The Franklin County Library Advisory Board (LAB) isprepared to advertise the opening with a starting salary of $33 to $35K depending onqualifications.

10- Inform the Board that the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public workshopon Sept. 10 on St. George Island to receive community input regarding the future of thecommercial district. The Commission was unable to hold a regular meeting for lack of aquorum.

11- FRDAP applications- The Planning Office has until Sept. 30 to submit completedFRDAP applications. The Board has previously discussed the improvements to berequested at D.W. Wilson Park. I have discussed improvements at Kendrick Park withChairman Sanders and Ms. Nikki Millender. Ms. Millender inquired about the use of theback property at Kendrick Park for a horse arena/ riding trails, but the FRDAP programdoes not score horseback riding that high. More points will be obtained by buildinganother baseball field for 7/8 year olds (pitching machine), a bathroom to serve the T-ballfield, a small picnic shelter at T-ballfield, and a large picnic pavilion to hold teammeetings. Ms. Millender has agreed these improvements should be submitted.
