               County and the State Library of Florida in the amount of
               $204,750.





7.             ALLOCATE FISCAL YEAR 1993-94 SHIP FUNDS AS MATCH FOR FEDERAL
               GRANT APPLICATION (HOME INVESTMENTS PARTNERSHIP ACT)

               The Board raised issues regarding the status of applying for
               CDBG funds in this funding cycle as it relates to the points
               assessed upon the County for the late submittal of quarterly
               status reports to DCA.  The issue was raised as to how it
               affects the County's rating in applying for additional CDBG
               funds.

               County Administrator Alam advised that the funding formula
               from DCA had been changed and the Board indicated that they
               should have been advised of this change and requested that a
               report on the CDBG funding be provided by the next meeting.

               Commissioner Green moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Maloy
               and carried unanimously, to accept the Housing Finance
               Authority's recommendation and allocate $75,000 of the FY
               1993-94 State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds as
               a match for Leon County's HOME application and authorize the
               filing of the County HOME application.  (The HOME Program was
               created under the Title II (the HOME Investments Partnership
               Act) of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990.)

8.             APPLICATION FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT TO ASSIST LOW-
INCOME INDIVIDUALS ADMINISTERED THROUGH COUNTY SOCIAL SERVICES

               The Board approved the submission of the CSBG application with
               the accompanying resolution (R94-3) and (assuming grant funds
               are awarded to Leon County, authorize the Chairperson to enter
               into the agreements with the Department of Community Affairs
               (DCA) and the Red Cross.

               (DCA is accepting applications for Local Government Share
               projects to be funded through the CDBG to assist low-income
               individuals.  CDBG funds have been used in the past to augment
               Leon County's emergency assistance program and the Red Cross
               operates the Direct Emergency Assistance Program (DEAP) on
               behalf of Leon County.  The Board previously approved the
               recommendations of the Human Services Grant Review Committee
               that the grant funds be subgranted to the Red Cross when the
               FY 1993-94 DEAP contract was awarded to the Red Cross.) 

9.             UTILITY EASEMENT TO TALQUIN ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE INC. FOR
               CONSTRUCTION OF UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC FACILITIES IN COE LANDING
               PARK 

               The Board approved the utility easement to Talquin Electric
               Cooperative, Inc., for installation of underground electrical
               service in Coe Landing Park.  (The Coe Landing Park is a CIP
               Project and the current phase involves extensive underground
               utilities installation; park electrical services are supplied
               through Talquin Electric and a utility easement is required
               for Talquin to install the underground service.)

10.            RENEWAL OF FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) RADIO
               LICENSE FOR HEALTH UNIT/MOSQUITO CONTROL/ANIMAL CONTROL

               The Board approved the renewal of the Federal Communications
               Commission (FCC) radio license in the amount of $125 for the
               system used by the Health Unit, Mosquito Control and Animal
               Control needs.

               8, 1994 ON ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS (REZONINGS)

               Commissioner Host moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Green
               and carried unanimously, to set the public hearing dates for
               proposed amendments to the Zoning Code for February 22, 1994
               and March 8, 1994 at 6:00 p.m.  (On September 28, 1993, the
               Board authorized staff to initiate the rezoning applications
               on behalf of each of the property owners for which the County
               Commission took favorable action to amend the Comprehensive
               Plan Future Land Use Map during cycle 1-1993.)

12.            SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR 6:00 P.M. FEBRUARY 22 AND MARCH
               8, 1994, ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS (LAKE PROTECTION)

               Commissioner Host moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Green
               and carried unanimously, to set the public hearing dates for
               February 22, 1994 and March 8, 1994 on the proposed amendments
               to the Zoning Code.  (The proposed amendments would eliminate
               references in the Lake Protection district which currently
               require Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendments within
               closed basins of the Lake Protection district.)

13.            SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO
               LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE (CANOPY ROADS)

               Commissioner Host moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Green
               and carried unanimously, to set the first public hearing for
               February 22, 1994 and the adoption hearing on March 8, 1994 at
               6:00 p.m. on amendments to the Land Development Code (Canopy
               Roads) relating to setbacks and access controls.)









14.            CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL AND SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR REVISIONS
               TO MINIMUM HOUSING CODE

               The Board conceptually approved amending the Minimum Housing
               Code as described in the attached analysis and outlined in the
               draft ordinance from Attachment 4 and direct staff to schedule
               public hearings on February 22, 1994 and March 8, 1994.  (The
               amendments would ensure trailers and mobile homes meet minimum
               safe living conditions.)


15.            CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL AND SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARING FOR REVISIONS
               TO CODE ENFORCEMENT ORDINANCE

               The Board conceptually approved amending the ordinance to
               expand the areas of responsibility of the Code Enforcement
               Board to include enforcement of the Building and Minimum
               Housing Codes as outlined in Attachment 2 (draft ordinance)
               and authorize scheduling a public hearing on another date as
               specified by the Commission.  (Amendments to the Code
               Enforcement Board Ordinance would include a mechanism for
               enforcement of the Building Codes and the Minimum Housing
               Code.)

               GENERAL BUSINESS

16.            RESPONSE TO REQUESTS FROM PUBLIX FOR ACTION REGARDING CENTRAL
               SEWER EXTENSION

               County Attorney Thiele explained that the attorneys for Publix
               Supermarkets have requested that the Board request from the
               City of Tallahassee expedited extension of central sewer
               service to the Bradfordville Publix site.  (The attached
               agenda request explains where the Circuit Court entered a
               Stipulated Final Judgment on May 11, 1993, which approved a
               Settlement Stipulation in the Monticello Companies, Inc., etc.
               et al. vs. Leon County case.)  Mr. Thiele explained that the
               County's motion to Vacate the Final Judgment is still pending
               before Judge Smith (although he has made some preliminary
               findings on some of the items).

               Commissioner Host moved and was duly seconded by Commissioner
               Green to postpone this decision (regarding the central sewer 
               service) until the decision from the Court is made on the
               Final Judgment to Vacate.  Mr. Thiele indicated that he would
               advise the Board on February 8 if the final decision by the
               Court has been made.

               Mr. Larry Block, citizen, appeared and stated that he would
               reserve his comments until the issue comes before the Board
               again.

               Attorney Brian Duffey, attorney representing the County on
               this matter, was present for the discussion.

               The motion on the floor carried 6 - 1 (Commissioner Joanos
               voted no).

17.            CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL AND ADVERTISE FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON AN
               ORDINANCE PERMITTING USE OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICY 2.1.9 IN
               PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SUBDIVISIONS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS

               The Board considered a proposed ordinance which would permit
               the use of Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.1.9 in previously
               approved subdivisions under certain conditions.  Planning
               Department Director Wendy Grey was present for the discussion.

               County Attorney Thiele explained that this item is to "bump"
               a set of comprehensive Plan amendments that was before the
               Board in the last cycle (Cycle 1994 - 1) because legal staff
               feels that the issue should be addressed through the zoning
               code rather than the comprehensive plan amendment; one reason
               being that legal staff feels that this is a county policy not
               a state DCA issue.

               The Board concurred that the proposed ordinance be advertised
               using one-half acre minimum, but if the problem could be
               solved without going as low as one-half acre, they would like
               to do so.

               Commissioner Host moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Maloy
               and carried unanimously, to direct staff to advertise the
               ordinance for public hearings and potential adoption, using
               one-half acre minimum, and ask staff to come back with the
               implications of the one-half acre, and look at the ability of
               solving the problem without the one-half acre minimum. 

18.            CRITERIA FOR SELECTION SITES FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION 

               In recent months there has been a number of future school
               sites under consideration by the Leon County School system. 
               This search for sites has drawn attention to the need for
               appropriate criteria to be used in evaluating sites.  Although
               appropriate school site selection is the ultimate
               responsibility of the School Board, selection should be based
               on sound criteria that are consistent with other community
               needs and with the local government comprehensive plan and
               local development regulations.  Planning Department has
               reviewed the comprehensive plan for criteria which relate to
               school siting and staff has prepared suggested school siting
               criteria which would be consistent with the general intent of
               the comprehensive plan and are included in the attached
               request.

               Ms. Wendy Grey, Planning Department Director, appeared and
               explained that the Planning Department staff is not
               recommending this criteria since they have not been formally
               reviewed by the School Board but is presenting the criteria to
               generate discussion from the table.

               Commissioner Host suggested a workshop on this issue.

               Commissioner Turnbull suggested staff bring back an "education
               element"; a statement that says the County will develop school
               siting criteria.


                         Commissioner Green indicated opposition to a requirement that
               middle schools be located within the U.S.A. (Urban Service
               Area).  She stated that Fort Braden School has both elementary
               and middle schools and she would like to see more schools like
               that.  The Board concurred.

               Commissioner Yordon reported that Donna Uzzell and Donna
               Harper from the School Board and Commissioner Lightsey and
               himself would be meeting next week to talk about this issue
               and would bring back recommendations.

19.            LAKE OVERSTREET ANNEXATION (WEST OF MACLAY GARDENS TO MERIDIAN
               ROAD) BY THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE

               The Comprehensive Plan requires the Board to review and make
               recommendations on proposed annexations to the City
               Commission.  The County and City administrations have
               instituted new procedures to implement annexation provisions. 
               Staff recommended that the Board not object to the annexation
               proposal pursuant to certain findings described in the agenda
               request.

               Commissioner Yordon moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Maloy
               and carried unanimously, to not object to the City's Lake
               Overstreet annexation proposal.

20.            APPOINTMENT OF SEVEN CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BUCK LAKE
               ROAD CORRIDOR STUDY PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROGRAM 

               (On November 9, the Board approved the County's new Public
               Participation Program (P2 Program) and a component of the
               program is appointment of a seven-member Buck Lake area
               citizen's work group.
 
               Commissioner Yordon appointed Patrick Doetsher.

               Commissioner Turnbull continued her appointment until February
               8, 1994.

               Commissioner Maloy appointed David Barrett.

               Commissioner Host appointed Byron Block.

               Commissioner Green appointed Bruce Meintjies.

               Commissioner Joanos continued his appointed until the next
               meeting.

               Chairperson Davis appointed Bonita Hampton.

               The Chairperson announced that the remaining appointments
               could be made and then ratified at the next Board meeting.

21.            LANGTON ASSOCIATES INC. MONTHLY STATUS REPORT

               Mr. Don Langton, Langton and Associates, appeared before the
               Board regarding the monthly grant status report.  The Board
               asked various questions regarding the status of certain
               grants.

               Commissioner Turnbull asked of the status of the Stoutamire
               Landing property (acquisition project, $100,000).  Mr. Langton
               explained that the project has received approval by DEP and
               will now go through the federal review process and will know
               in January if they will receive the grant award.

               Mr. Langton reported that the "Keep Florida Beautiful - Adopt
               A Shore" program award in the amount of $15,000 was granted. 

               A grant in the amount of $225,000 for home funds (other than
               CDGB) was submitted last month which could result in 18
               housing restorations if awarded.

               Commissioner Turnbull asked if availability of federal dollars
               for transportation and crime money was being looked at.  Mr.
               Langton advised that he was following the "iced tea" and
               "crime" bill money. 

               Commissioner Host requested that a type of matrix be provided
               showing the status of the grants from month-to-month; when the
               grant starts, the contact person, what is the projected dollar
               amount of the grant and the matching dollars required.  Mr.
               Langton advised that he would work on providing this
               information in the form of a spreadsheet.

               Commissioner Yordon moved, duly seconded by Commissioner Host
               and carried unanimously to accept the grants monthly status
               report.

22.            PUBLIC HEARING TO AMEND CHAPTER 10, ARTICLE VI (CONCURRENCY
               MANAGEMENT) AND ARTICLE I (DEFINITION OF PRELIMINARY
               DEVELOPMENT ORDER), LEON COUNTY CODE OF LAWS

               Pursuant to the following legal advertisement, the first
               public hearing was conducted on amendments to the County's
               Concurrency Management Ordinance including the definition of
               a preliminary development order.  (The amendments involve
               procedures to remove glitches and to streamline the process.)

               The Chairperson called for public comment.  No one appeared. 
               The Board announced that the second public hearing on the
               proposed amendments would be conducted on February 8, 1994 at
               6:00 p.m.

23.            PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF MAJOR SITE AND DEVELOPMENT
               PLAN APPLICATION FOR WILSON SAND MINE
               A:  PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT
               B:  PUBLIC WORKS ANALYSIS AND RESPONSE 

               Pursuant to the following legal advertisement, a public
               hearing was conducted on a major development review involving
               a proposed resource recovery operation (sand mining and
               deposition of clean debris):  The property is located on the
               South side of Tower Road, approximately one mile West of
               Capital Circle Northwest.

               The agenda request provided to the Board includes the Planning
               Commission Report which recommends that the development
               application be denied, in part, because the Planning
               Commission concluded that there was a number of impacts which
               had not been successfully mitigated by the Public Works
               Department.  Mr. Marty Black, Planning Department, appeared
               and explained that the Planning Commission voted 5 - 0 to
               recommend denial of the application.

               The second part of the agenda request was prepared by Public
               Works Department which refutes some of the interpretations of
               the Comprehensive Plan made by the Planning Commission and
               identifies the actions to be taken by the Department to
               address the impacts of the proposed mine.  Public Works
               Director Mike Willett appeared and explained that the project
               is in two zones which allow sand mines and explains that this
               is site plan approval.  Mr. Willett advised that the sand mine
               will be used mainly for maintenance of existing facilities and
               very little construction.  He also indicated that some
               neighborhood concerns that can be addressed are an improved
               bus stop (work with the School Board) and posting lower speed
               limit signs. 

               The Board entered discussion regarding a permit from the state
               for sand mining activity and raised issues which they felt
               should be addressed:  what was the property permitted for from
               the very beginning (1970's); did the State DER not permit this
               activity until the 1990's.  Staff advised that they would have
               to obtain this information from DER.   

               The following citizens appeared and voiced their opposition to
               the proposed sand mine activity:

               Meka Spencer, Route 948, Box, Tower Road, referred to the
               trucks which caused sand and dust; there were open holes in
               the area with water and debris.

               Diane Spencer, Route 948, Tower Road, reported that Crowder is
               operating a sand mine in the area.

               Tyrika Shavers, Route 9, Box 913, Tower Road, advised of
               danger to children playing in the area with large dump trucks
               traveling the road; there are two sand mines in the area.

               Ernestine Gaines, Route 9, Box 950, (school bus driver),
               indicated sand mine is hazard to the road and the noise from
               the trucks is a problem.

               Brodia Showers, Route 9, Box 943, opposed to using tax dollars
               for the sand mine; suggested some other method of egress and
               ingress to the sand mine.

               Elaine Whitehead, Route 9, Box 952, referred to traffic study
               which shows that the road cannot handle the traffic; reported
               that Dixie Paving, Crowder, and M Inc. coming down the power
               easement;  alleged that the area was unjustly classified as
               non-residential.


                         Steve Mouch, 5508 Cypress Circle, Lakewood Estates area,
               indicated that to the south of the subject area is a wild life
               management area and suggested that Ochlocknee River to the
               West could receive water run off from the sand mine; suggested
               the property be rezoned to residential.

               Bert Davey, 818 Ingleside Avenue, appeared and suggested that
               when purchasing land for future projects, the County should
               define the purpose of purchasing the project, that a performa
               should be done and financial implications addressed.  He
               raised the issue:  will the County save money on this sand
               mine and property they purchased.

               Commissioner Yordon moved and was duly seconded by
               Commissioner Joanos to send this issue back to the "drawing
               board" and to withdraw the application (as recommended by
               County Attorney Thiele) with Public Works bringing forth a new
               application which would go through the Planning Commission
               review, considering various proposals addressed by the Board
               today (described below), and that certain improvements to
               Tower Road be addressed regardless of the outcome of the sand
               mine issue such as dust, speed limit, noise problem, fencing
               the five-acre site. 
 
               The Board indicated that there should be extensive planning
               for the sand mine and suggested a development agreement to
               address traffic, buffering with shrubbery, fencing the 5-acre
               site.  Other issues discussed by the Board were:  possible
               development of another method for ingress and egress could be
               developed (federal government may possibly allow easement),
               determine the time the trucks use the road and the number of
               trips, meet State requirements of the road.  Commissioner
               Green raised the issue of a time frame for the "grandfathering
               clause" for undesirable uses.  County administrator Alam
               explained that the "grandfather clause" runs out in 18 months;
               if the sand mine has not been used for 18 months, it is not
               "grandfathered" in anymore but the continued use allows it go
               on.

               Commissioner Host suggested an inventory of County-owned
               properties (what they are and what they are being used for),
               indicating that the County's liability could be involved and
               the public should be protected.

               The motion carried unanimously.

               Commissioner Yordon moved, duly seconded by Commissioner
               Turnbull and carried unanimously, that staff post a 25 mph
               speed limit sign on Tower Road with a letter from the
               Chairperson to the Sheriff requesting that the area be
               monitored to make certain that the speed limit is adhered to. 
 








               COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR

a.             Suggested reaffirming the Board's action at today's workshop
               on Fines and Fees/Plan of Action.  Commissioner Turnbull
               requested, in fairness to the public, that the issue should be
               in writing when presented to the Board and that all workshop
               issues be treated in this fashion.  The issue would be placed
               on the February 8 agenda for affirmation.   Commissioner
               Turnbull publicly stated that the Board received tremendous
               cooperation from Chief Judge Padavana and Public Defender
               Nancy Daniels regarding the "Fines and Fees' workshop.

b.             The County Administrator advised that the Clerk would like to
               reschedule the workshop that was cancelled today and meet on
               Tuesday February 8 from 1:00 - 3:00.  The Board agreed to
               schedule the workshop on that date from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.

c.             County Administrator Alam reminded the Board that the Planning
               Department has requested a joint workshop on the 2020 Long
               Range Transportation Plan and the Board previously agreed to
               meet on Monday, February 7.  Mr. Alam reported that the City
               cannot meet on that date and plans to meet on Wednesday,
               January 26 at 3:30 p.m.   Commissioner Turnbull stated that
               with due respect, this is a joint MPO Plan and will have to
               meet jointly at some point.  The Board agreed to meet on
               Monday, February 7 at 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.

               COMMISSIONER HOST:

               Advised that the selection of the Executive Director of the
               Juvenile Council is still pending.

               COMMISSIONER JOANOS:

               Inquired about the directions to the County Attorney's office
               and suggested the Public Works Director Mike Willett may know
               the way, although he has been known to get lost in the
               stairwell.

               COMMISSIONER YORDON:

a.             Commissioner Yordon referred to three letters sent to the
               Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, and the Clerk of the
               Circuit Court regarding the timely filing of the year end
               (Record and Report of fees).  The Board indicated that the Tax
               Collector and the Property Appraiser has submitted the report
               directly to the State and Commissioner Host stated that the
               Clerk has done the same.  Commissioner Yordon advised that
               State Statutes indicate that the Clerk must submit the report
               to the Board of County Commissioners and it should be
               determined where the report is.  He indicated that the Board
               did not want to get caught in an audit exception because of
               State Law and not adhere to Statutes because they did not
               follow-up on this matter.




b.                       Commissioner Yordon referred to correspondence regarding a
               program whereby employees have the opportunity to contribute
               to environmental groups should they so desire.  He requested
               that the Personnel Director check into this optional program
               and bring back an agenda item.

c.             Commissioner Yordon recommended that the Transportation Impact
               Fee Ordinance be brought back to the Board as it relates to
               zoning or something that will not inhibit the integrity or
               "undercut" the concept of the ordinance but would allow for
               the type of re-urbanization that the Board has continually
               discussed and would accommodate some businesses.  He stated
               that one business was actually caught up in the process
               (Lieutenant Governor's Club).  It was noted that the County
               Attorney has a meeting with the consultants who drafted the
               original ordinance on Thursday morning.  Commissioner Turnbull
               requested that the issue of "sidewalk cafe" affecting
               impacting fees be checked out.

d.             Reported that Commissioner Maloy and himself played in the
               Urban League Basketball game for "Say No To drugs."

               COMMISSIONER TURNBULL:

a.             Requested adoption of a resolution for Walli Beal who has been
               writing an article in the Tallahassee Democrat on the Library
               for the past two years and will soon be retiring. 
               Commissioner Turnbull moved, duly seconded by Commissioner
               Yordon and carried unanimously, to adopt a ressolution.

b.             Advised that the Board has once again challenged Mr. Ed Hannah
               of Waste Management Inc., in the March of Dimes "Kick-off." 
               Mr. Hannah sent back a letter of confirmation, which
               Commissioner Turnbull read into the record, accepting the
               County's challenge with modifications; 84 employees of Waste
               Management will raise at least 55% plus $1.00 of the amount
               raised by the 573 employees of Leon County Board of County
               Commissioners; Waste Management will not include any cooperate
               matching funds, even though the parent company matches
               employees' contributions.  The Board accepted the challenge.

c.             Circulated correspondence regarding the February 12th March of
               Dimes' Third Annual Celebrity "Bagger" project and urged all
               to sign up (since it involves bagging groceries at Bruno's and
               what could be more fun!).

d.             Commissioner Turnbull reported that she learned, last night,
               that the governor's budget will cut all of the county
               foresters in the urban counties of the state and Leon County
               is one of those urban counties.  She asked that Leon County
               Forester Stan Rosenthall come forward and provide more
               information on this matter since it directly affects this
               county.  Mr. Rosenthall reported that he found out last
               Thursday that the Governor recommends, in his budget, to
               cancel 25 of the 62 county forester jobs and focused on those
               foresters whose duties involve urban forestry.   Mr.
               Rosenthall explained that about one-half of his duties involve
               urban forestry.

                         The Board indicated the importance of having this service and
               suggested that the legislative delegation be advised of this
               cut, how it would have a detrimental affect for Leon County,
               and that the Board is on record as opposing the cut.  (It was
               noted that this issue goes before appropriations on Thursday.)

               Commissioner Green recommended adopting a resolution
               supporting the county forester and describing the services
               that are provided, and that it be sent to the local
               delegation.  The Board concurred.  (See attached resolution
               (R94-2):

e.             Reminded the Board that they previously agreed to do something
               in honor of the late Bill McGrotha at the Library. 
               Commissioner Turnbull explained that a CD has been purchased
               entitled "Total Baseball" which is a definitive encyclopedia
               on the sport of baseball and a companion book will be
               available January 27 which marks one year since Mr. McGrotha
               passed away.  Commissioner Turnbull noted that the CD will
               include the attached information presented in memory of Mr.
               McGrotha, which she read into the record:  (An Official
               presentation will be made to the family at a future Commission
               meeting.)

COMMISSIONER MALOY:

               Reported that he was in receipt of a letter of resignation
               from Valeria Boseman of the Human Services Grant Review
               Committee.  Commissioner Maloy appointed Sheilah Jefferies to
               replace Ms. Boseman.

CHAIRPERSON DAVIS:

               Advised that she is working on a Southside Service Center on
               Orange Avenue to facilitate and house several of the
               constitutional officers' services, Comcast, and City of
               Tallahassee Utilities.  Chairperson Davis advised that she met
               with Mr. Thomas Jefferson and Dr. Mobley (FAMU, SBI) yesterday
               regarding this matter and would advise the Board of any
               progress.

               There being no further business to come before the Board, the
meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m.

                                        APPROVED:                      
                                                   Anita L. Davis
                                                   Chairperson

ATTEST:
     Clerk of the Circuit Court
