Leon County currently owns a borrow pit located west of and adjacent to the 7 acres. Leon County desires to regain ownership of the 7 acre site and DOT has no objection to transferring ownership so the County can more effectively carry out any future restoration process.

In order to give students work experience and reduce rehabilitation costs for the County's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the THF and the client have executed a contract that defines the work Youth Build will perform. The THF Youth Build was the low bidder on one of the homes to be rehabilitated and will need to obtain transportation to the construction site.

Since the inception of this program in 1988, Leon County has relied on the technical expertise of the FSU Center for Biomedical and Toxicological Research and Hazardous Waste Management and the Apalachee Regional Planning Council (ARP). It was noted that FSU has requested revisions to the agreement (page 2, Article II A, 2 "Termination for Convenience" which will allow either party to terminate the agreement with a 30 day written notice and another change on page 3, Article IIA, 3, "Result of Termination" which includes compensation for non-cancelable obligations for the university.

DER Mosquito Control/Waste Tire Abatement Grant Program The Abatement Grant Program was established during the last 1992 Special Legislative Session. The County Mosquito Control Division must submit an application form, approved by the Board to receive funds from this grant during FY 92-93. (The grant is to specifically assist counties in controlling domestic mosquitoes which raise in tires and other man-made containers, as opposed to reproducing in swamps, ditches, etc.) The Board approved Option 1 which would involve the Board establishing a $20,000 grant account for the Mosquito Control Division to utilize during FY 92-93.

Request From St. Francis Wildlife Association for Wildlife Rescue Services in the Unincorporated Leon County Mr. Jon Johnson, Director of St. Francis Wildlife Association, appeared and requested that the Board provide wildlife rescue services in the unincorporated area of the County. It was noted that the Animal Control Division responds to potentially rabid wildlife but does not have the resources to respond to nuisance calls, etc. Dr. George Simmons, local veterinarian, appeared and voiced his concern regarding the potential problem of wildlife with rabies. Animal Control Director Cathy English explained the amount of wildlife calls that they receive. She explained that the division does respond when possible.

Geographic Information System (GIS) Contracts for Parcel/Soils Mapping and Street Segment/Intersection Mapping Database The digital conversion contracts for the above have been approved by the GIS Executive Committee and are submitted for Board approval. On March 10, the Board approved a ranking of vendors and authorized GIS to begin contract negotiations with Geonex and Edulog, the highest ranked vendors. (Geonex is for the digital conversion of the Property Appraiser's Parcel maps and the delivery of a Cadastral (land ownership) database, and will provide conversion of the Soil Conservation Service Soil Maps. The Edulog is for the delivery of a street segment, street intersection database, as well as a Master Street Address/guide. County Attorney Herb Thiele advised that this afternoon, the County was sued over this contract by the Professional Land Surveyor's Society. They contended that because of a component part of this contract may involve survey services, the County should not have bid out, but should have followed the Consultant's Competitive Negotiations Act. Mr. Thiele stated that he disagreed with that and noted that a temporary injunction was not requested and felt the County should move forward with the project. Commissioner Joanos moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Vause and carried unanimously, to approve the attached Geonex Contract for Parcel and Soil Mapping, and Parcel Attribute database; and the Edulog Contract for street segment/intersection mapping and master Street Address Guide Database: Commissioner Nelson moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Yordon and carried unanimously, to communicate to County staff that this project has highest priority, that the Board does not want any more slippage, and ask the Chairman to meet with the Mayor and the Property Appraiser to ensure the same commitment from the City and the Property Appraiser's Office. 27.

Commissioner Vause moved to approve staff's recommendation which is to adopt the Solid Waste Facility Master Plan, with recommendations for operating the current facility and siting the next solid waste disposal facility, with direction to staff to come back with recommendations regarding the height limitation. Commissioner Vause indicated that there are opportunities to further maximize the use of this site by some modification of height limitation. He stated that he was not necessarily suggesting to go as high as the law allows, but there has been direction to limit the height to a specific elevation. He indicated that he does not recall the Board making this recommendation. Commissioner Yordon seconded the motion which carried unanimously (Commissioner Nelson and Price was not present). County Administrator Parwez Alam advised that staff would investigate this issue and bring back a recommendation. 28. Bid Award for Purchase/Installation of Cabling for Leon County Detention Facility The Board considered the bid award for installation of all voice, television, and data communications cabling at the new Leon County Detention Facility and recommended waiving the irregularities and awarding the bid to Dial Communications, Inc. the low bidder, at the price of $122,137.25. The County Administrator explained that there were some minor irregularities in the bid, one being that Dial is applying for MBE certification and has been given a temporary certification. If awarded to Dial, there would be 100% MBE participation.) Mr. Ray McCorkle, 2027 Doomar Drive, from Audio Labs, representing American Telephone Company, appeared and alleged that Dial was not in compliance because they did not submit a copy of a license and did not provide manufacturing technical information required by the bid. Purchasing Director Keith Roberts and Mr. Rich Buehlmaier project manager for Morse Diesel/Leon County Detention Facility were present and responded to allegations of Mr. Corkle. Mr. Buehlmaier explained that this is not unusual in a bidding format, for someone to incorporate a letter as Dial did, which indicates that all items in the specifications have been met. He also explained that Dial did submit a license, shortly after the bid was received. Commissioner Vause moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Yordon and carried 4 - 1 (Commissioners Price and Nelson were not present and Commissioner Davis voted no), to waive the bid irregularities and award the bid to Dial Communications, Inc. by the attached resolution (R92-54), at the price of $122,137.25: 29. Consideration of Bid for Servicing of Fire Protection Equipment The County bid the servicing of fire extinguisher and fire suppression systems. Commissioner Yordon moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Joanos and carried unanimously (Commissioner Nelson and Price were not present), to accept staff's recommendation which is to reject all bids and re-bid. It was noted in the agenda request that omission by staff of the MBE language within the invitation to bid misdirected two vendors resulting in non- responsive bids. To be fair to the vendors while protecting the best interests of Leon County, it is recommended to re- bid. Award of the bid would not be fair in light of the misdirection resulting from incomplete specifications. 30.

The County Attorney was directed to examine the deed of conveyance and make recommendations as to whether the provision should be reinstated. Commissioner Davis: Reported that she distributed a copy to each Commissioner of information regarding the Somalia, East Africa relief fund. She stated that if Board members were unable to attend, she could take the contributions.
