PUBLIC HEARINGS 01 veil 9 C61.101 WA 1. Ordinance - Regulating Distribution of Unwanted Handbills on Residential Property The County Attorney presented this time for an ordinance regulating distribution of unwanted handbills on residential property. He explained the ordinance was originally enacted in 1992 in response to complaints by residents. He stated the ordinance prohibits the distribution of handbills upon residential premises if the resident of the premise conspicuously displays a sign stating "No Handbills" or displays a blue designator indicating the desire not to receive handbills. The ordinance did not apply to the distribution of mail by the post office, any written or printed material for which a person has subscribed or delivery by a courier service of written or printed material addressed to a resident by the sender. The County Attorney continued that the original ordinance was intended to prevent crime on residential property, reduce litter and protect privacy rights and property rights of residents. Enforcement is only initiated if the handbill distributor continues to distribute handbills after written requesting to cease and desist. He stated the United States Supreme Court has recently enacted new decisions with a stricter view of when regulations are content based. He indicated the county is proposing to adjust this 5 1 P a g E Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 18, 2017 9:00 AM regulation to conform to the latest decision in 2015. The County Attorney clarified that the proposed changes do not change the essence of the regulation. There were no comments from the public for this item. RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Linda Bartz, District No. 3 SECONDER: Frannie Hutchinson, District No. 4 AYES: Dzadovsky, Mowery, Bartz, Hutchinson, Townsend 2. Ordinance - Amending The Affordable Housing Committee Membership The Assistant County Attorney presented this item for an ordinance amending the Affordable Housing Committee membership. She explained that when the Affordable Housing Committee (AHAC) was created in 2008, the statute required the committee to be composed of eleven members representing specific categories with interest in the housing market. She continued, in 2016, the legislature amended the statute to require at least eight members but no more than eleven members from at least six of the eleven categories. She explained that over the years it has been difficult to maintain a full committee and obtain a quorum for meetings. The Assistant County Attorney indicated that in light of the statutory changes staff is recommending that the membership be reduced to nine members from those categories. She stated the committee currently has 9 members. There were no comments from the public for this item.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT & BUDGET 1. Setting of FY 2018 Proposed Millage Rates and Dates for Budget Public Hearings The County Administrator introduced this item for the Fiscal Year 2018 Proposed Millage Rates and dates for budget public hearings. He indicated the overall proposed budget is $578,040,678 and discussed the various limitations of the county budget. He stated the goal of the meeting today was to establish a millage rate that when applied to a property's taxable value will provide the revenues necessary to support the county's services. The County Administrator discussed the forecasted growth of St Lucie 7 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 18, 2017 9:00 AM County and how those numbers affect the current budget. Next he presented the county's accomplishments from the current year, such as the 800 MHz radio system, FPL energy efficiency projects, jail security system repair, and the Midway Road widening project. He also detailed the county's leadership efforts in regards to economic development, the Treasure Coast International Airport and fiscal stewardship. The County Administrator listed efforts by the county to collaborate with other agencies and the major achievements of those efforts. He detailed the accomplishments and recognition the county received throughout the year. He concluded with a list of additional accomplishments, such as a reduction in inmate medical expenses, implementation of leadership training programs, process improvement programs and workplace safety projects while also being awarded as one of the best places to work. At this time, the Office of Management and Budget Interim Director continued the presentation by discussing budget stabilization efforts. She explained that from FY 2010 through FY 2016 the county's expenses exceeded revenues by an average of $7.08 million. She detailed the reserve history since FY 2010 and indicated the minimum fund balance level of $36.5 million. Staff explained the possible impact of an additional $25,000 homestead exemption. The OMB Interim Director presented a chart which demonstrated the adopted budget compared to St Lucie County's population from FY 07-08 through the estimated totals for FY 17-18. She indicated the county is attempting to serve a growing population with a lower budget. She explained the changes in taxable property values in county since 2006 and indicated St Lucie County is still below pre - recession levels. Next, the County Administrator presented the challenges the county will face, emphasizing the potential impact of the additional homestead exemption. He detailed the challenges such as road resurfacing and $5.6 million to address critical infrastructure needs. The OMB Interim Director explained the projected FY 2018 incremental changes in the general fund/fine and forfeiture fund. She indicated the net incremental revenue would be $9.5 million. She detailed the "original scenario" as presented to the Board during the previous budget workshops. This scenario takes the $9.5 million and applies it first against the county's commitments which total nearly $7 million, leaving $2.5 million net revenue. She indicated the original scenario included additional recommendations totaling $4.7 million which would result in a negative total of $2.1 million. This shortfall is before the county includes the critical infrastructure and public safety needs, which total $11.2 million. This brings the total unfunded needs for FY 2017 to $13.3 million. Next, the OMB Interim Director presented the impact on mileages. She presented a chart demonstrating the millage rates for municipal services provided by the county compared to the rates within the cities. She continued with a chart demonstrating the millage rate increase as proposed in the original scenario. Staff presented a chart which represents the impact of a tax increase on a home located within a city, as well as a chart representing the impact of a tax increase on a home within the unincorporated area. Next, the County Administrator explained the "alternative funding scenario". He indicated the Sheriff's $5.9 million increase would be funded through a mileage 8 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 18, 2017 9:00 AM increase. He stated the impact on a homesteaded city resident's $200,000 home would be $58.65 versus the $87.35 in the original scenario for an increase of 4.98%. He continued, the impact on a homesteaded unincorporated resident's $200,000 home would be $123.77 versus $244.09 in the original scenario for an increase of 9.12%. He indicated the stormwater and roads infrastructure would be shifted to another sales tax referendum in 2018. He noted that there may be emergency repairs to roadways and culverts that will be needed in the interim and these costs will be paid for from the transportation emergency reserves. The County Administrator continued by discussing the half cent sales tax, which would raise funds to pay for financing, planning and construction of infrastructure. He indicated it requires a majority vote by the people to be approved and levied. He stated roads, drainage, equipment and buildings would be eligible expenses. Staff detailed the sales tax initiative by neighboring counties and explained the 75/25 split between residents and tourists. He emphasized that these funds cannot be used for operating expenses. The County Administrator stated the 2016 estimated annual revenue was $16 million and these revenues can be used to match funds for grants. He presented a chart demonstrating the annual local distribution of the sales tax. Next, the County Administrator presented another factor of the alternative funding scenario which would postpone the $2 million beach request. He indicated the county could await FEMA or other state options to put sand on the beach. He stated under this scenario, Public Works would receive adequate funding to replace heavy equipment. He emphasized the key component of the alternative scenario to maintain the $2 million contribution to reduce reliance on budget stabilization funds. He noted under this scenario, there would be no new county positions, however it does provide for employee compensation increase. The County Administrator presented charts demonstrating the impact of the tax increase on a homestead property within a city, as well as a homestead property within the unincorporated area. He also presented a "mid -point" scenario which would fund the Sheriff's office and address some of the infrastructure needs by taking half of what was originally proposed. For this scenario, the County Administrator presented charts demonstrating the impact of that tax increase on a homestead property within a city, as well as a homestead property within the unincorporated area. Next, the County Administrator explained the process related to Truth in Millage and gave a timeline of the process, including today's hearing. The OMB Interim Director indicated the county is required to inform the Property Appraiser of the proposed millage rates, the rollback rates and the date, time and place of the tentative hearings. She indicated this must be done within 35 days of the Property Appraiser's certification of taxable value in accordance with Florida statue. She noted the Property Appraiser utilizes this information in the TRIM notice, which are mailed to each property owner in August. This notice is intended to inform property owners of the maximum mileage rate and taxes for each taxing district. After the millage is set, the rate may be further reduced any time before the final budget hearing on September 19th. The millage rates may not be increased without going through a re - noticing process. 9 1 P a g E Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 18, 2017 9:00 AM The OMB Interim Director indicated the Board was presented with the original budget scenario and an additional scenario was discussed. The Board requested staff presented additional millage scenarios. She indicated staff provided 3 budget scenarios which include, the original scenario, the alternative scenario and the middle of the road scenario. At this time, Sheriff Ken J. Mascara addressed the Board. Sherriff Mascara thanked the Board and county staff for their work on the budget process. He reiterated the long delayed needs for Sheriff vehicles and salary increases and the impact of not addressing these needs. Chairman Dzadovsky asked for the total investment of certifying deputies, in regards to losing those employees. Sheriff Mascara answered that the office is currently utilizing non -certified corrections deputies to address the shortage. He stated that once those employees are approved, they are sent to the academy and then promise to work for the office for 2 years. He indicated that at the 2 or 3 year point the employee will leave to work in another county for higher wages. Dan Kurek, from the St Lucie County Citizens Budget Committee also addressed the Board. Mr. Kurek spoke about his experience as the budget director for the county for 15 years and as a CEO of a credit union. He discussed the impact of the hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 and the economic downturn in 2010. He expressed his concern over the use of reserves to balance the county's budget and the stats of maintaining aging infrastructure throughout the county. Mr. Kurek presented a graph of the potential scenario if the sales tax initiative fails and the additional homestead exemption passes. He stated the county will need to find funding for the infrastructure and a potential increase of $609 over 4 years to taxes. He stated the Citizens Budget Committee was hired to protect the assets of the county and urged the Board to think beyond the current year and to stop using reserve funds by the next budget year. Chairman Dzadovsky discussed the loss of revenue due to the recession. He indicated at that time the Board did not increase the millage to meet those needs, but rather use the reserves to ensure residents would be able to maintain their homes. He indicated the current improvements in regards to unemployment and the local economy. He indicated the opportunity to work with the public in the coming months to finalize the budget. The County Administrator directed the Board to discuss the various scenarios and explained that staff would address any questions they may have. Chairman Dzadovsky confirmed that the millage rate can be decreased during the budget process over the next few months. He asked staff if another alternative could be proposed before the hearing in September. The County Administrator confirmed that the first hearing would adopt a preliminary budget and the second hearing would adopt the final budget. Commissioner Hutchinson asked if there were figures since the 2006-2008 time frame, of the cost of state mandates to the county and what that number would equate to in regards to millage. 10 1 P a g Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 18, 2017 9:00 AM The County Administrator answered there have been a number of additional state mandates, however he did not have that figure at this time. He indicated that number would be available prior to the first budget hearing. Chairman Dzadovsky reiterated the county's efforts to reduce increases and emphasized the challenge of state mandated costs to the county. Commissioner Hutchinson discussed the taxable property values graph presented by staff. She asked staff to compare this graph with the millage history for the next presentation. The County Administrator discussed the ongoing impact of the state's requirements on the county's various functions. Chairman Dzadovsky asked the Board for a motion to support administrations original requested mileage. He stated this will allow several months to review different scenarios. Chairman Dzadovsky passed the gavel to Commissioner Mowery and made the motion to approve the original scenario. The County Administrator confirmed the original requested millage rate of 1.3721. Commissioner Bartz seconded the motion to approve. Commissioner Bartz indicated her support of staff's recommendation, and noted that this scenario offers the Board the opportunity to work to get where the county needs to be. She acknowledged the previous challenges faced by the Board during the economic downturn, but urged the Board to consider new growth and work forward. Chairman Dzadovsky indicated his intention to use this rate to notify residents and allow for their feedback. He stated there is still work to do and possible opportunities to reduce the millage. Commissioner Hutchinson stated she is not in support of the original recommendation. She spoke about her experience with previous budget discussion and noted she had not seen an example of rolling back the proposed millage. Commissioner Townsend stated she is not in support of the original recommendation. She indicated this would send the wrong message to residents and expressed willingness to continue work to examine the budget. Chairman Dzadovsky indicated the recommendation focuses on necessary capital investments. He reiterated the millage can be reduced to reflect the other scenarios in the future and urged the Board to leave the county some leeway for adjustments. Commissioner Hutchinson acknowledged Chairman Dzadovsky's comments. She stated that if the millage was raised to the original request, she did not feel residents would support the half cent sales tax. She challenged the Board and county staff to go with the lower millage rate and focus on educating the residents on their potential investment. Chairman Dzadovsky addressed Commissioner Hutchinson's question regarding lowering the millage. He spoke about his experience with the millage rate in 2006, 2007, and 2008 and asked the Board to consider the option to lower the millage rate going forward. He stated his intention to support a lower millage rate at the next hearing. Commissioner Mowery, acting as Chair, stated he would not support the original recommendation. He stated he did not believed in taxing based on potential costs of disasters that may affect the county. He indicated he felt the sales tax referendum is a more compatible solution for the community. At this time the roll was called: Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 18, 2017 9:00 AM Commissioner Townsend - NO Commissioner Hutchinson - NO Commissioner Bartz - YES Commissioner Dzadovsky - YES Acting Chairman Mowery - NO With that, the motion failed and Commissioner Mowery returned the gavel to Chairman Dzadovsky. Chairman Dzadovsky asked for a recess at this time and the meeting reconvened at 11:00 AM. Chairman Dzadovsky indicated the Board must set a millage rate and have a budget to present to the state. He reviewed the "alternative funding scenario" and asked for Board direction. Commissioner Hutchinson indicated she would not support a millage increase unless it was related to public safety or public health. She stated she would support the alternative scenario based on addressing the Sheriff's critical needs. She asked staff to reach out to the cities regarding the gas tax and the CRA to begin a conversation prior to the budget hearings. Commissioner Hutchinson made the motion to approve the "alternative scenario" to include the request of staff contacting the cities to reach an agreement and working to fine tune the sales tax initiative. Chairman Dzadovsky confirmed her motion to approve the alternative scenario with the direction to staff to contact the cities regarding the gas tax and CRA issues and to also move forward with the sales tax depending on the timing of those efforts. Commissioner Townsend seconded the motion and expressed interest in reevaluating county services and having a conversation with the Sheriff. She indicated support of a 1 cent sales tax to further improve the reserve funds. Chairman Dzadovsky asked Commissioner Hutchinson for support of an amendment of a partial millage increase to include beaches. This would total an increase of $8.78 for unincorporated and $8.78 for the cities. Commissioner Hutchinson stated she did not want to include that in her motion. Commissioner Townsend indicated she was not comfortable including that amendment either. Commissioner Townsend asked to include the Town of St Lucie Village in future discussions. The County Administrator added that this vote would also approve the public budget hearings for September 7th and September 19th at 613M. It would also authorize the County Administrator to modify the millage rate between general fund and fine and forfeiture, as long as the total county wide millage remains the same. The mover and seconder approved those additional terms. Chairman Dzadovsky asked for the roll to be called at this time: Commissioner Mowery - YES Commissioner Bartz - NO Commissioner Townsend — YES Commissioner Hutchinson —YES Chairman Dzadovsky - NO 121Page Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 18, 2017 9:00 AM The motion passed. The County Administrator indicated the Board approved scenario 2 (alternative scenario) of the various presented millage rates, which would provide full funding for the Sheriff's Office and a millage rate increase of 0.57. He stated this would also include the county going forward with a sales tax initiative in 2018 to address infrastructure items that were removed from the funding discussion. He indicated the next step is the public hearing on September 7, 2017. Commissioner Hutchinson reiterated her request of staff, to provide information regarding state mandate impact on the millage rate and an update on discussions with the cities.
