BACKGROUND:
Escambia County Noise Abatement Ordinance Number 2001-8 (Escambia County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 42, Article III., Noise), was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on March 1, 2001, for the purpose of protecting, preserving, and promoting the health, safety, welfare, peace and quiet of the citizens of Escambia County through the reduction, control, and prevention of loud and raucous noise, or any noise which unreasonably disturbs, injures, or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace, or safety of reasonable persons of ordinary sensitivity. Subsequently, on August 3, 2001, the BCC adopted Escambia County Ordinance Number 2001-36 to amend Escambia County Ordinance Number 2001-8 in order to provide a means of exemption to the Noise Abatement Ordinance to allow a fair and just application of the Ordinance and grant limited waivers of the restrictions imposed by the Noise Abatement Ordinance to allow special outdoor events to take place in the community while still protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Escambia County, and promoting an environment free from sound and noise disruptive of peace and good order.

Special BCC Meeting		8.
Meeting Date:	04/10/2014
Issue:	Supplemental Budget Amendment #149, Funding for the Innerarity Island Development Corporation (IIDC)
From:	Amy Lovoy, Department Head
Organization:	OMB
CAO Approval:

Information
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning Supplemental Budget Amendment #149 Approving Funding for the Operation of the IIDC - Amy Lovoy, Management and Budget Services Department Director That the Board adopt the Resolution approving Supplemental Budget Amendment #149, Special Revenue Fund (101) in the amount of $50,000, to recognize a transfer from the General Fund (001) and to appropriate these funds to cover any Innerarity Island Development Corporation (IIDC) costs not covered by revenues collected.
BACKGROUND:
On March 21, 2014, the court ordered the County to become the receiver of IIDC, an abandoned wastewater and water utility. Gross revenues are not sufficient to cover basic operations. This supplemental budget amendment will transfer funds from the reserves of the General Fund to establish a budget to subsidize these operations. The Board can recoup these costs over time with sufficient rate increases on the users of the system.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
This supplemental budget amendment transfers $50,000 from the County's reserves to establish a budget and pay costs of IIDC that are in excess of gross revenues.

Special BCC Meeting		10.
Meeting Date:	04/10/2014
Issue:	Resolution Supporting Department of Juvenile Justice Cost Sharing and Repayment
From:	Kristin Hual, Assistant County Attorney
Organization:	County Attorney's Office
CAO Approval:

Information
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the Resolution Supporting Department of Juvenile Justice Cost Sharing and Repayment - Alison Rogers, County Attorney That the Board adopt the Resolution supporting Department of Juvenile Justice cost sharing and repayment and authorize the Chairman to execute the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, the Florida Legislature mandated that all counties share in the cost of juvenile secure detention. Since then, the cost share implementation has been fraught with errors, confusion and inefficiency, culminating in years of litigation between many individual counties and the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). The courts ultimately concluded that the DJJ improperly implemented the detention cost share system thereby shifting a greater responsibility to the counties than was required by the relevant statute and ordered the DJJ to revise the cost sharing methodology. Legislation is now pending in the Florida House of Representatives (HB5305) and the Florida Senate (SB1532) to address the repayment of past erroneous billing and improve the billing system in the future.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
The Resolution was reviewed and approved by Assistant County Attorney, Kristin D. Hual.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:
A copy of this Resolution will be forwarded to Governor Rick Scott; Representatives Clay Ingram, Walter Bryan Hill, and Will Weatherford; Senators Greg Evers and Don Gaetz; Wansley Walters, Secretary of the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice; and Christopher Holley, Executive Director of the Florida Association of Counties.
