10. B. PUBLIC DISCUSSIONITEMS
IOAL 1 RE UEST TO SPEAK FROMDAVID LEELAND REGARDING GIFFORD
GARDENS
David Leeland was absent; however, the Board accepted input from Billy Hitchcox .
Billy Hitchcox reported that he had obtained a quit-claim deed to the Gifford Gardens
Apartments property at 4730 401h Avenue , and anticipated acquiring title to the property through
a short sale on March 7 , 2011 . He outlined his plans for allocating $2 million towards
rehabilitation of the structure , and requested delay of the demolition of Gifford Gardens that was
approved by the Board on November 16 , 2010 .
The Board questioned Mr . Hitchcox on his intentions and whether he had sufficient
means to carry the project through to completion .
March 1 , 2011 15

t
Discussion/debate continued, with input from County Attorney Polackwich , about the
status of the County ' s demolition lien and how it would be affected if the lien is placed on the
property prior to the sale and acquisition by a new owner or after a new owner acquires a
Certificate of Title . Attorney Polackwich projected that the bid award for the demolition would
be approved or denied at the March 8 , 2011 County Commission meeting, and that unless the
Commission votes to adjust the schedule , demolition would commence in late March or early
April 2011 . He mentioned that the Board would later have to approve a Resolution to impose a
lien for the demolition costs .
Chairman Solari stated that based on past experiences , it was time to rid the community
of the unsafe structure .
Commissioner Flescher foresaw that Mr . Hitchcox ' s proposed investment would not be
enough to affect completion of the rehabilitation project .
Jose Guanch, Building Official , stated that due to the deteriorated state of the building,
the project would probably take more than Mr . Hitchcox anticipated .
Discussion continued as the Board sought further information on Mr . Hitchcox ' s goals
and ability to carry out the project .
Mr. Hitchcox conveyed that he had the background and funding to carry out the project,

12. G. 1 . GOVERNOR 'S RECOMMENDATION ONPENSIONREFORM
Management & Budget Director Jason Brown updated the Board on the " Governor ' s
Recommendation on Pension Reform" , which contains : ( 1 ) a provision for County employees to
contribute 5 % of their salary towards their pension ; and (2 ) the requirement to rebate to the State ,
through a reduction in State Revenue Sharing (sales tax) revenues , any resultant savings by the
County. He explained that the taxing funds and the MSTU fund would bear the brunt of the
impacts, with the MSTU losing about $ 1 . 1 million if the plan was implemented today . He
reported that also pending is Senate Bill 1130 ( SB 1130) , which requires a 2% contribution from
the employees with no similar rebate provision, which if approved as drafted, would affect a $ 1 . 1
million savings to the County . He pointed out that the companion House Bill has not yet
surfaced, and emphasized that the County needs to ensure that a provision about the State
revenue sharing would not be put into the final law .
Commissioner O ' Bryan was not opposed to the employee contributions to their pensions ;
however, he objected to the State ' s taking sales tax revenues away from the County . He inquired
whether the Board should at this time , draft a Resolution opposing the Governor ' s proposal .
Director Brown indicated that for now, the Board should keep the various legislative
issues in mind, and encourage the Legislature to keep the rebate requirement out of Senate Bill
1130 ,
Vice Chairman Wheeler supported the employee contributions to their pensions and
agreed that a portion of the revenues should go to the State , but wanted the State to re-evaluate
March 1 , 2011 18
the apportionment of the money . He felt that the County and State could find a beneficial
compromise .
Chairman Solari acknowledged that an eventual compromise might be required, but he
objected to the State securing a good percentage of the revenues generated through the County .
Commissioners Wheeler and Davis agreed that the County and State should work
together, as residents of both the County and State , to find mutually beneficial solutions in these
difficult economic times .
Commissioner Flescher, alluding to unfunded mandates , deemed the Governor ' s
proposed initiative to be an "unrefunded" mandate , and believed the County should take
appropriate action.
Chairman Solari requested that Director Brown provide him with a one-page brief that he
can use when he meets with State Legislators in Tallahassee .

dovetail with his general focus of encouraging the Legislators to enact less State regulations ,
especially in matters such as septic tanks , fertilizers , and irrigation. He requested that
Administrator Baird write a one-page brief on the most important topics .

Vice Chairman Wheeler questioned the need for the extensive research that staff has been
conducting on the terms of members of various County committees , boards and councils
(collectively "committees") .
Attorney Polackwich relayed that there have been periodic changes in the staff members
responsible for updating committee information, and some of the member terms have gotten out
of alignment with the foundation documents governing the members ' terms . He affirmed that
research was almost concluded, and that staff would return to the Board with an Ordinance
correcting Section 103 . 02 of Chapter 103 Commissions and Boards , which has internal
inconsistencies regarding the staggering of committee member terms with the election terms of
Board members ; a Resolution laying out the various committee member terms according to their
foundations ' documents ; and staff' s suggestion for deciding the committee member terms
henceforth . He anticipated that at the conclusion of this project, the Commissioner Assistants
would be responsible for updating the committee member terms .

14. E. 1. RESOLUTION OPPOSING SENATE BILL 270 AND HOUSE BILL 511 ;
INCREASE IN DISCOUNT FOR EARL Y PA YMENT OF TAXES
Commissioner O ' Bryan reported that Senate Bill 270 and House Bill 511 propose to , at a
minimum, double the early payment discount for property taxes . He objected to the State
handing down another unfunded mandate and meddling in the County ' s budget, which according
March 1 , 2011 23
v
t,
to calculations from the Budget Office would suffer a $ 3 . 6 to $ 3 . 7 million reduction in certain ad
valorem taxes . He suspected that lower income residents might be unable to pay their taxes
early, and additionally might have to face increased taxes due to predicted revenue shortfalls .
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O ' Bryan,
SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to approve the
Resolution opposing the increase in discount rates for
early payment of property taxes contained in Senate Bill
270 and House Bill 5111
Vice Chairman Wheeler opposed the Motion, contending that lower income people
would take advantage of the early payment discount, and that the Bills would benefit commercial
development and businesses . He opined that the County could consider more cuts to
government, rather than increased millage rates .
Commissioner Davis also disagreed with the Motion . He calculated that the
contributions of commercial properties to the tax base are disproportionately greater than their
requirements for County services , and wanted to give them the chance to take advantage of the
tax discounts .
Commissioner Flescher supported the Motion because he agreed that many citizens
would be unable to reap the benefits of early tax payments .
Chairman Solari felt that the proposed Bills did not reflect the original intent of the early
tax payment discounts . He believed the new Bills were another example of unfunded State
mandates and an attempt to modify taxpayer behavior through the tax code .
March 1 , 2011 24
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 3 -2
vote (Commissioners Davis and Wheeler opposed) , the
Board approved Resolution 2011 -014 , in opposition to
increasing discount rates for early payment of property
taxes contained in Senate Bill 270 and House Bill 511 .
