Report to the Board of County Commissioners Nov. 19, 2013

1- At the last meeting the Board asked me to contact the City of Apalachicola regarding avegetative screen to be planted to block noise and light between the soccer fields at DW

Wilson Park and Mr . Rickards property. I discussed the situation with the City and oneof the force mains for the sewer system runs between the Rickards property and thesoccer fields. The City does not recommend planting any trees or large vegetation in thatarea as if any damage occurs to the force main from tree roots the county would beresponsible.

2- Inform the Board that both cities did agree to contribute their share for the purchase ofa van for Disabled Veterans that was discussed at the last meeting.

3- Board action to appoint an elected official to serve as Chairperson for the FranklinCounty Transportation Disadvantaged Board. Currently the Chairperson is City of

Apalachicola commissioner Frank Cook. The Board may re-appoint CommissionerCook, or any other elected official can be appointed.

4- Board action to adopt Resolution recognizing November as Pancreatic CancerAwareness Month. Request submitted by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. Anestimated 38,460 people will die of pancreatic cancer in the United States in 2013, and ofthose 2770 are Floridians. Pancreatic cancer will afflict more than 45,000 people eachyear; 73% will die within one year of diagnosis, and 94% will die within 5 years.

5-Inform the Board DOT has sent an electronic response to the letter the Board wroteabout the poor maintenance of the ditches in Carrabelle and Lanark Village after theheavy rains in the fall. DOT agrees with the Board that a better job should be done tomaintain the ditches and to that end they are modifying their mowing practices in the

problem areas to mow the full width of the ROW.

6- Board action to sign Joint Participation Agreement for $40,000 to build a simplestructure at the airport to protect county equipment from the weather. This was part ofthe additional funds I mentioned at the Nov. 5 Board meeting. Other additional funds Ispoke of will be used to rehabilitate airfield pavement as the joint sealer between thesections of concrete has outlived its life and is allowing weeds to grow up in the runwayand taxiways.

The county will also be receiving funds from DOT to build a new taxiway on therunway that adjoins the countys undeveloped industrial park. I have exchanged emailswith Mr. Phillip Deal, DOT Aviation, and he concurs that the Apalachicola Airport is justwaiting to be discovered and so DOT is wiling to put considerable money into the airportinfrastructure because this airport has the potential to add jobs and energy to the regionaleconomy.

In order to facilitate the Boards direction that the retrofit of what is now Mr.Randy Randolphs hanger be re -bid since the scope of that project has shrunk, and to savetime and money on building the county equipment hanger, the two projects will be bid

together. This will make the proposed construction in the range of $120,000 so we hopethat local contractors will bid on this combined project.

7- Last summer one of the two main air conditioning condenser units failed in the maincourtroom. Both units are on the roof of the courthouse, both are about 20 years old.

Considering the age of the units it is more logical to replace the units rather than try torepair old units that are not as energy efficient as what is on the market. Unfortunately,when the courthouse was originally air conditioned after WW II the contractor cut a holein the upper side of the original courthouse and just stuck the ductwork through theexterior wall without making any modifications to the courthouse wall that was cutthrough. Without the necessary modifications to help support the wall, the wall hascracked and begun to settle. The cracks go all the way through the wall so that inside ofthe courthouse, above the ceiling, you can see sunlight coming through the cracks. Thewall needs to be stabilized so the cracks do not grow over time, and then the cracks andthe hole made for the duct work needs to be properly sealed.

Board action to action to authorize Mr. Warren Emo, architect, to analyze the

problem and develop a scope of work to fix the cracks, and to evaluate whether both ACunits should be replaced at this time, and what size system could be installed that would be more energy efficient.

8- Board update on Armory renovations. Mr. Curt Blair has provided me with anupdated calculation of funds available for the Armory renovation. In the current year, theTDC budgeted $148,337. In addition, since the TDC prepared their budget, it isanticipated that there will be $239,939 more in revenues so this unanticipated revenuecan go towards the Armory. And, finally, there is some $108,000 in budgeted reservesthat can also be directed to the Armory. The grand total of fund available for this year is$496,276.

Mr. Warren Emo, architect, has prepared a priority list of repairs he recommends.Mr. Emo should be attendance so the Board can talk to him directly.

9- Inform the Board that Mr. Jim Estes, FWC, would like the Board to know that FWChas received a $4M grant to test different methods to make oyster reefs moreresilient/productive. The grant will identify 9 sites (1 to 2 acres in size) around the Baywhere different densities of shell will be put out, and the resulting spatfall and oysterrecovery will be measured. This will give FWC a much better idea of how much shell touse in different areas when the large $52M restoration project that was mentioned at thelast meeting gets funded.

10- The Library Advisory Board will be ready to announce their recommendation for thenew Franklin County Librarian. They were meeting Monday night.
