     agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation for
     $24,000 annually to provide roadside maintenance on Mahan
     Drive.  This level of funding is sufficient to provide mowing,
     litter pick-up, landscape maintenance, and weed control.

8.   Transfer of Ownership from DOT to Leon County Concerning
     Borrow Pit Located at Eisenhower Road
     In 1949 Leon County deeded approximately 80 acres to the State
     Department of Transportation (DOT) for use as a borrow pit. 
     This property is divided by Eisenhower Road, with
     approximately 73 acres being located east of Eisenhower Road
     and the remaining approximately 7 acres being located west of
     Eisenhower Road.  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 effectuate this transfer, DOT requires that the
     Board sign a resolution (R92-51) and prepare a boundary
     survey.  In return DOT will execute a quit claim deed and Leon
     County Public Works requires that a Subdivision of Property
     Form be signed by all parties.  The Board approved the
     transaction and authorized staff to obtain the necessary
     signatures at the attached documents:

9.   Agreement with the City of Tallahassee Regarding De-bagging of
     Yard Trash

     In order to increase the volume of yard trash processed for
     mulch, the City of Tallahassee requested a cost proposal from
     Leon County to de-bag yard trash at the landfill.  A proposal
     has been submitted, and a yard trash processing agreement with
     the City is proposed.

     The Board approved the trash de-bagging program for the City
     of Tallahassee at an annual cost to the City of $51,437 and
     authorized the additional personnel and equipment.  (See
     attached program as described and budget amendment request:)

10.  Bid Award for Crawler Dozer for Landfill
     Commissioner Joanos moved, duly seconded by Commissioner
     Nelson and carried unanimously, to approve and awarded the bid
     to Ring Power Corporation, by the attached Resolution (R92-52)
     for a landfill crawler dozer for a total cost of $256,197 and
     contract for guaranteed maximum repairs and buy-back. 
     (Invitation to bid were mailed to 13 vendors of which one
     submitted a bid and three submitted no-bid statements.)

11.  Northwest Florida Water Management District Stormwater Flow
     Monitoring Program
     In November of 1989 the City, County and NWFWMD entered into
     an agreement to collect dry weather and storm event discharge
     data at major outfall locations in Leon County and the City of
     Tallahassee.  This agreement was for three years and will end
     October 1992.  The three agencies propose continuing this data
     collection effort.  The fiscal impact to the County is $34,275
     for Fiscal Year 92/93.  The proposed budget for this fiscal
     year appropriates funds from the Stormwater Utility for this
     data collection program.

     The Board approved the attached contract:

 12. License Agreement for Surplus County Vehicles to Youth Build,
     a program sponsored by the Tallahassee Housing Foundation
     (THF), which retains high school drop-outs in construction
     trade projects to teach work and life skills.  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.  To meet this transportation need, the
     County Attorney has drafted an agreement to license to Youth
     Build two surplus county vehicles that are now out-of-service.
     The Board approved the license.

13.  Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
     The Board approved the attached contract agreement with
     Employee Management Systems to provide Employee Assistance
     Program services to County employees effective upon Board
     approval and ending September 30, 1993:

14.  Subcontracts for Updating the Leon County Hazardous Materials
     Emergency Plan
     The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has contracted with
     Leon County to update the Leon County Hazardous Materials
     Emergency Plan.  This plan is used by the Local Emergency
     Planning Committee (LEPC) to develop a regional plan which is
     required under the Federal Emergency Planning and Community
     Right-to-Know Act of 1986 and Florida Statutes Chapter 252,
     Part II.
     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.  The County
     Attorney reviewed and concurred with the changes.)

     The Board accepted the proposal of FSU and APP Council and
     authorized the Chairman to execute the agreements and
     transmittal letter to FSU informing them that Leon County will
     not pay direct costs associated with this subcontract (as
     requested by FSU).

15.  Emergency Medical Services First Responder Communications
     System
     The Board accepted the recommendations of the EMS First
     Responder Communications System Project team to proceed with
     the procurement of equipment and implementation of the system
     to include waiving the requirement for competitive bid for the
     Spectra mobile radios, and programming equipment.  (See
     attached agenda request and budget amendment request:)

16.  Approval of Contractual Agreement with Herb Morgan to Serve as
     Lobbyist for Leon County
     The Board approved the attached agreement (Letter of
     Understanding) with Mr. Herb Morgan to serve as lobbyist for
     Leon County:

17.  Approval of Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department Budget
     The Board approved the Planning Department budget for FY
     1992/93 as negotiated at $1,837,915, with the County share
     being $809,708 (which is 47.75% per the interlocal agreement
     with the City of Tallahassee).  The amount of $39,296 would
     remain in this account until such time as development of the
     proposed environmental planning function is approved or denied
     by the Board.

18.  Return of Fireworks Bond to Killearn Lakes Plantation
     Homeowners Association
     On June 16, 1992, the Board granted a permit for fireworks
     display to Killearn Lakes Plantation Homeowners Association
     and a $500 bond and filed with the Clerk.  The association
     filed an affidavit indicating that there were no injuries
     related to the fireworks display.
     The Board approved the request for return of the $500 bond
     posted by the above homeowners association.

19.  Consulting Agreement with Langton Associates
     The Board was requested to approve a new  consulting agreement
     with Langton Associates to carry out the Strategic Grants
     Plan.  (The amount of the contract is $36,000 per annum.)
     The Chairman advised that this item has been pulled from the
     agenda.

20.  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. The account would be
     reimbursed by DER as the Mosquito Control Division performed
     certain abatement activities during the course of the year. 
     The Program would include hiring five OPS positions.  See
     attached agenda request for details and budget amendment
     request:

21.  Acceptance of Special Warranty Deed and Release of Temporary
     Easement Re: Agreement with Leon County and Centervillage
     Limited Partnership
     The above parties entered into an agreement on July 18, 1989
     concerning the development of certain property located at the
     northeast corner of Capital Circle and Centerville Road.  The
     parties agreed that subject to the completion of all
     improvements pursuant to a DER permit, Leon County would
     receive certain property from Centervillage by way of a
     Special Warranty Deed with Centervillage retaining an easement
     over, across, and under the property conveyed for ingress,
     egress, paving, parking, drainage, and utility purposes.  It
     was noted that the provisions of the said agreement have been
     complied with by both parties.

     The Board accepted the Special Warranty Deed and authorized
     release of the Temporary Easement.

     General Business
 
22.  Animal Shelter Site
     The Board is requested to approve the Animal Shelter site and
     the site lease agreement with the City of Tallahassee.

     Commissioner Nelson moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Davis
     and carried unanimously, to approve the proposed site plan
     encompassing approximately 8.01 acres at Tom Brown Park for
     the Tallahassee-Leon County Animal Shelter and approve the
     lease agreement with the City of Tallahassee for the
     Tallahassee-leon County Animal Shelter as amended with
     revisions to paragraph 8 and 9 to more clearly reflect the
     policy of non-discrimination as presented by the County
     Attorney; authorized the County Attorney to negotiate the six-
month termination provision in the agreement (termination for
     convenience) with the City (County Attorney Thiele stated that
     a "termination for cause would be sufficient"); and to commend
     the efforts of the Humane Society, City staff, and
     Commissioner Vause.
     Commissioner Vause also thanked the members of the City staff,
     those members of the Humane Society that he worked with and
     commended the Human Society for addressing the non-
discrimination issue and for their spirit of cooperation.
     (See attached agreement:)

23.  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.

     Commissioner Yordon moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Davis
     and carried unanimously, to authorize the Animal Control
     Director to meet with the appropriate parties to discuss ways
     to improve services, within the County's financial
     constraints, and bring back recommendations to the Board if
     services can be improved with existing resources.


24.  Master Lease Financing Agreement

     The Board was requested to move forward on the master lease
     agreement, interest rate, term financing options and schedule
     as negotiated by staff with Public Finance Group, and
     authorization for the Chairman to execute financing documents
     on October 29, 1992.

     During the budget workshops staff proposed that the MIS
     (Management Information System) strategic and tactical plan be
     financed through a master lease program.  The Board directed
     the County's Financial Advisor, Alex Brown and Sons, to issue
     Request For Proposals to obtain financing for a master lease
     program.  On September 22, the Board authorized staff to
     negotiate the financing conditions for a master lease.

     Commissioner Vause moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Yordon
     and carried 5 - 1 (Commissioner Nelson voted no), to authorize
     the execution of the master lease documents between Leon
     County and Public Finance Group in an amount not to exceed
     $7,372,897 with an interest rate not to exceed 4.77% (exercise
     option), adopt the attached resolution (R92-53) as stated
     below and authorize the Chairman to sign the documents at
     closing on October 29, 1992:

          "A Resolution Of The Board Of County Commissioners Of
          Leon County, Florida Authorizing Execution Of A Master
          Lease Purchase Agreement And Of Schedule No. 1992A
          Thereto; Approving The Appointment Of Nationsbank, As
          Trustee, Registrar And Paying Agent; Approving The Form
          Of A Master Trust Agreement, A Series 1992A Supplemental
          Trust Agreement And A Series 1992 Assignment Agreement;
          Authorizing The Execution Of The Master Trust Agreement
          And The Supplemental Trust Agreement; Conditionally
          Approving The Sale Of Certificates of Participation,
          Series 1992A In An Aggregate Principal Amount Not
          Exceeding $7,400,000; Providing For Incidental Action;
          And Providing For an Effective Date."

25.  Performance Contracts for Agencies Receiving County Donations
     During budget workshops the Board accepted staff's
     recommendation to institute a grant agreement for agencies
     receiving donations outside the Human Services Grant process
     from Leon County.  Staff requested that the Board approve the
     "shell" Performance Contract for agencies receiving County
     donations.
     Commissioner Vause moved and was duly seconded by Commissioner
     Nelson that for line items $2,500 and under, the Board waive
     this process (as proposed).  No vote was taken.

     Following some discussion, Commissioner Vause moved, duly
     seconded by Commissioner Yordon and carried unanimously, to
     continue this item until October 27, 1992.  Commissioner Davis
     volunteered to work with staff to possibly limit the number of
     recipients who contract with the County and define objectives
     in having recipients submit reports; obtain feedback on how
     donations are spent and whether the recipient's objectives
     were met.

26.  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.  Solid Waste Facility Master Plan
     On January 15, 1991 the Board approved a contract for
     Engineering Consultant Services with the firm of Post,
     Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc. to develop a Solid Waste
     Facility Master Plan 
     Mr. Jud Curtis, Director of Solid Waste Facility, was present
     and responded to the Board's inquiries.

     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.  Appointments:       (a)  Canopy Roads Citizens Committee - 
                              Commissioner Yordon moved, duly
                              seconded by Commissioner Vause and
                              carried unanimously (Commissioners
                              Price and Nelson were not present),
                              to reappoint Linda Kay Williams and
                              Belynda Shadoan.

                              Chairman Turnbull noted that
                              appointments expire October 31st and
                              recommended that the term be

     Discussion Items by Commissioners
 
     Commissioner Vause: Advised that Mrs. Patricia Herold,
     Chairman of the Miccosukee Community Center Board of
     Directors, had questioned revised Policy No. 92-10 (Community
     Services) which deleted a provision whereby the Board
     "acknowledges that the Home Demonstration Club of Miccosukee
     has the primary right to use the Center as long as it does not
     conflict with the use of the Center for official County
     purposes.  Commissioner Vause explained that the deed of
     conveyance provided by Mrs. Herold has a provision which does
     appear to give them the right of first use of the building. 
     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.  She
     explained that she has gotten in touch with the local Red
     Cross about supporting this effort which is being done
     nationally, but they were too involved in the disaster in the
     State.  Commissioner Davis stated that there is a small
     committee work on sending relief from this country to Somalia
     and the Red Cross has asked them to move forward with the
     project.

     Chairman Turnbull:  Advised of Red Ribbon Week.  Commissioner
     Yordon moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Vause and carried
     unanimously, to approve Red Ribbon Week Resolution.
