Ordinance - for Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Katherine Barbieri, Assistant County Attorney, presented this item as detailed in the agenda. The Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative, Amendment 2 was on the November 4, 2014 ballot in the State of Florida as a constitutional amendment. On May 16, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners approved Ordinance No. 17-005 which allowed medical marijuana dispensaries as a permitted use in CG, commercial general zoning district and created supplemental standards. Under current state law, a county may either (1) ban medical marijuana treatment center dispensing facilities from being located within the boundaries of that county or (2) allow those facilities under the same regulations as apply to licensed pharmacies. The proposed ordinance repeals Ordinance No. 17-005 and provides for the same location criteria as apply to licensed pharmacies. Chairman Hutchinson opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being no one wishing to appear before the Board, Chairman Hutchinson closed the public hearing. This was the second of two public hearings. Staff recommended the Board approve the proposed draft ordinance. A motion was made to approve the ordinance and it passed unanimously. 6 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 19, 2017 9:00 AM RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Linda Bartz, District No. 3 SECONDER: Cathy Townsend, District No. 5 AYES: Hutchinson, Mowery, Dzadovsky, Bartz, Townsend B. PUBLIC WORKS 1. Resolution - LWP Drainage Municipal Services Benefit Unit Notice of Intent for 2018 Barbara Guettler, MSBU Coordinator, presented this item. One of the funding methods available for capital improvements and essential services is through non -ad valorem special assessments levied on specially -benefited properties within the proposed special assessment district and collected using the uniform method pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. In order to preserve this collection option, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a resolution expressing its intent to use the uniform method commencing in November, 2018. The resolution must be considered at a duly advertised public hearing held prior to January 1, 2018. The resolution does not in any way obligate the County to levy special assessments; rather, it simply preserves the County's option to use the uniform method of collection if special assessments are levied. The Board is considering the creation of the LWP Drainage Municipal Services Benefit Unit to create a mechanism to collect the annual user fee for the Fort Pierce Farms Water Control District for the parcels identified within the proposed boundary. Commissioner Townsend expressed her appreciation for all the hard work. Commissioner Mowery asked a question for clarification. There were no other questions or comments on this item. Chairman Hutchinson opened the hearing for public comment at this time. There being no one wishing to appear before the Board, Chairman Hutchinson closed the public hearing. Staff recommended Board adoption of the Special Assessment Notice of Intent Resolution for the Lakewood Park (LWP) Drainage Municipal Services Benefit Unit. A motion was made to adopt the resolution and it passed unanimously. RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Tod Mowery, District No. 2, Vice -Chairman SECONDER: Cathy Townsend, District No. 5 AYES: Hutchinson, Mowery, Dzadovsky, Bartz, Townsend 7 1 P a g e Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 19, 2017 9:00 AM 10. REGULAR AGENDA A. COUNTY ATTORNEY 1. Lease with 1680 Lyngate, LLC - St. Lucie County Employee Health Care Center - South County Location Dan McIntyre, the County Attorney, presented this item. The County Attorney explained as part of changes made to the County's health plan, the County investigated the possibility of expanding the St. Lucie County Employee Health Care Center to an additional location in South St. Lucie County. An additional location in South County will provide employees and dependents who live in South County easier access to the Center. A South County location is also needed due to the utilization of the Center by the employees and dependents of the Sheriff. County staff estimates that utilization of the Center currently saves the County $900,000.00 each year. County staff anticipates that the amount of savings should increase significantly due to increased usage of the Center by employees and dependents. County staff reviewed different locations in St. Lucie West as well as location in the US1 corridor near the Port St. Lucie City Center. County staff is recommending that the County lease approximately 10,572 square feet located at 1680 SE Lyngate Drive near City Center. The County Attorney gave an overview of the Lease terms. Commissioner Mowery commented on the location options. There were no further comments or questions on this item. Staff recommended that the Board approve the Lease and authorize the Chair to sign the Lease subject to final review and approval of the County Attorney. A motion was made to approve the Lease and it passed unanimously.
