Issue:	5:33 p.m. Public Hearing to Adopt the Valkyry Way Roadway and Drainage Improvements MSBU Ordinance
From:	Stephan Hall, Budget Manager
Organization:	Asst County Administrator
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
5:33 p.m. Public Hearing for consideration of adopting an Ordinance creating the Valkyry Way Roadway and Drainage Improvements MSBU. Recommendation: That the Board adopt, and authorize the Chairman to sign, the Ordinance creating the Valkyry Way Roadway and Drainage Improvements Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU), and all related documents, and make the following findings of fact: A. Lots in the District are specially benefited since roadway and drainage improvements increase the market value of an individual Lot, provide individual Lot owners with an appropriate and adequate transportation route in the area, and increase the ability of Lot owners to develop their land; B. The non-ad valorem special assessments levied represent a fair and reasonable apportionment of the cost of the special benefit received by each Lot and do not represent a fair share of the cost of general governmental service provided to residents in the unincorporated areas of Escambia County; and C. Lots which do not receive a special benefit have been and shall be excluded from the non-ad valorem special assessment for roadway and drainage improvements.
BACKGROUND:
The owners of the property abutting Valkyry Way have met the criteria established by the Board of County Commissioners for an MSBU, and the Board has reaffirmed its intent to use the uniform method of collection of non-ad valorem special assessments levied for roadway improvement projects. Now the property owners wish to establish the MSBU for the purpose of providing roadway and drainage improvements and County code compliance in the district. Petitions for creating the MSBU district were circulated among Valkyry Way property owners. There are an estimated 8 properties, and of these, 7 property owners representing 87.5% of total property owners signed the petition in favor. This meets the 66% minimum approval requirement specified in the MSBU Guidelines and Procedures. The estimated cost per residential lot will be $5,193.83 annually for 10 years.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
The MSBU will generate revenues for the purpose of providing repayment to Escambia County for providing roadway and drainage improvements to the Valkyry Way Area, as well as administrative and statutory fees.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
This Ordinance has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office and found to be legally sufficient.

CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the Removal of the Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) Representative from the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director That the Board adopt and authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution requesting the removal of the Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) representative from the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO).
BACKGROUND:
The Florida - Alabama Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) is the organization designated by the governor of Florida as being responsible, together with the State of Florida and the State of Alabama, for carrying out the continuing, cooperative and comprehensive transportation planning process for the Florida - Alabama TPO Planning area. On October 7, 2015, Escambia County entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), Santa Rosa County, Baldwin County, the cities of Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Milton and Orange Beach, and Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) for the purpose of creating the TPO and appointing a governing board consisting of twenty voting members. In accordance with the requirements of Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP 21), which became law in July 2012, the Agreement included one representative from Escambia County Area Transit (ECAT) as a voting member of the TPO. Provisions of the subsequently-enacted Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, which became law in December 2015, state that "....subject to the bylaws or enabling legislation of the metropolitan planning organization, a representative of a provider of public transportation MAY also serve as a representative of local municipality." ECAT is a department of Escambia County and is governed by the five elected Escambia County Commissioners who also have voting privileges on the Florida-Alabama TPO. FDOT has agreed that the county may adopt a Resolution requesting removal of the ECAT representative from the membership of the TPO, thereby reducing the number of voting members to 19. This Resolution is a preliminary step towards amending the Interlocal Agreement. Though FDOT is a party to the agreement, the FDOT is not represented on the TPO. All of the other local entities represented on the TPO make recommendations to the FDOT.

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Rescinding the Board's Action Concerning Conveyance of Real Properties Located at 3414 West Jackson Street, 2505 West Lakeview Avenue, and 2615 North 6th Avenue to Pensacola Habitat for Humanity, Inc. - Stephan Hall, Management and Budget Services Budget Manager That the Board take the following action rescinding conveyance of real properties to Pensacola Habitat for Humanity, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation using Escambia County's Surplus Property Disposition for Affordable Housing Development Program: A.

Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to the sale.
BACKGROUND:
3414 West Jackson Street was acquired via governmental foreclosure in August 2013. 2505 West Lakeview Avenue was acquired via governmental foreclosure in March 2014. 2615 North 6th Avenue was acquired via a tax deed in July 2011. On September 15, 2011, the Board approved acquisition of the subject property through tax deed sale in order to utilize the property for affordable housing. A prior owner was under contract with the County to build a single family residence and sell to an income eligible buyer. However, the developer abandoned the project. The parcel requires completion of construction in order to sell the home to an affordable buyer under the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program and/or Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) guidelines. On June 8, 2012, NEFI circulated the availability of this property to eligible not-for-profit agencies and the only agency to reply was A.M.R. at Pensacola, Inc. (AMR). Due to title issues (5 City Liens), AMR requested that the title be conveyed for the costs of the back taxes and title transfer. However, the developer abandoned the project. The parcel requires completion of construction in order to sell the come to an affordable buyer under the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program and/or Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) guidelines. The Board at its April 3, 2014 Board Meeting authorized sale of all three properties to Pensacola Habitat for Humanity, Inc. (Habitat) for a sale price of $20,840.25. Habitat failed to close on the property in the time allotted due to requirements to cure title defects. Habitat has now notified Escambia County that it is no longer interested in purchasing these properties. Each property will be offered for sale via online public auction or offered as property to be used for affordable housing in conjunction with Escambia County's Surplus Property Disposition for Affordable Housing Development Program. The County does not have a need for these parcels.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Sale of these properties will provide revenue for the General Fund.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
All legal documents will be approved as to form and legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's Office prior to execution by the Chairman. The purchaser(s) will pay all closing costs.

BCC Regular Meeting		Budget & Finance Consent
Meeting Date:	04/07/2016
Issue:	Class and Compensation Study Request for Proposals
From:	Thomas Turner, Department Director
Organization:	Human Resources
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the Issuance of a Request for Proposals for Compensation Consulting Firm Services - Thomas G. "Tom" Turner, Human Resources Department Director That the Board approve the issuance of a Request for Proposals to secure services of a compensation consulting firm to complete a class and compensation review for the Board of County Commissioners pay plan and the pay plans of other Constitutional Offices which may wish to participate. [Funding: The study is expected to cost in the $100,000 to $180,000 range. Funding is available in Fund 001, General Fund; Cost Center 110201, and Account 53101]
BACKGROUND:
The BCC last conducted a pay review in 2006 using the Fox Lawson consulting firm. The plan developed was dependent on regular robust budgets to permit progression through the pay structure for employees. The economic slump did not provide the type of funding needed to support the pay structure and pays remained fairly stagnant. The BCC went for a six year period without a pay increase and no salary structure adjustments. This caused wage compression among employees. Further, the starting rates for employees have also remained nearly flat making it more difficult to attract highly qualified applicants. Additionally, it appears that some inconsistencies were adopted in regard to the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act exemptions. The application of the exemptions is at the individual employee level. The exemptions do not apply necessarily to all employees in the same class but ultimately depend on their actual work and a determination of whether it meets the required duties test. Some supervisors were designated as exempt and some were not. The consultant will be asked to provide thorough review of this determination. The scope of work for the RFP is attached.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
The cost of the study is expected to cost in the $100,000 to $180,000 range. Funding is available in the General Fund under Cost Center 110201 and Account 53101.

Issue:	Wellness Incentive
From:	Thomas Turner, Department Director
Organization:	Human Resources
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning a Wellness Incentive Program - Thomas G. "Tom" Turner, Human Resources Department Director That the Board provide Wellness Incentives to employees participating in the County sponsored health screenings by authorizing a $50 cash reward for participation in both the onsite screening and the completion of the “paper” personal health assessment (PHA) - $25 will be rewarded for completion of health screening and $25 for completion of the online PHA. [Funding Source: Fund 501, Internal Service Fund; Cost Center 55201]
BACKGROUND:
Escambia County and other employers are working toward a culture that supports health and wellness and empowers employees to become aware of their health status. A Personal Health Assessment is one of the tools that helps employees become more aware of their health. The proposed incentives will incent participation and provide employees and the County data to determine how to become a healthier group. The Escambia County Sheriff's Department has provided their employees incentives for the past three years and the reported participation results have been good. Our goal is to have 40 to 50 percent of our employees participate in the Personal Health Assessment which is between 600 to 900 employees. The estimated cost is up to $50,000. The funds to support this program are from the wellness incentive that we received from Florida Blue in the amount of $275,000. The County received $150,000 in 2014 and $125,000 in 2015.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Reallocation of Capital Improvement Program Funds - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director

That the Board approve the reallocation of funds from the Capital Improvement Program, totaling $760,000, as follows:

FROM:

Description	District	Amount
Myrtle Grove Jackson	2	$760,000

TO:

Mayfair/Algiers	2	$680,000
Buddy's Lane	2	$ 80,000

[Funding Source: Fund 352, "Local Option Sales Tax III", Account 210107]

BACKGROUND:

Escambia County Public Works staff requests the Board's approval to transfer $760,000 from the Myrtle Grove Jackson Project to the Mayfair/Algiers and the Buddy's Lane Projects. The Myrtle Grove area improvements were limited to available right of way and therefore the staff requests to move the funds to projects that are feasible and are a priority. Myrtle Grove drainage improvements will continue as needs are identified. The projects are described below:

Description	District	Amount	Description of Project
Mayfair/Algiers	2	$680,000	Phase 1 ($135K) and 2 ($120K) will be improved by conventional construction. These first two phases originally kicked off this project. Phase 2 has real estate needs. Phases 1 & 2 currently have easy access, as Mayfair Subdivision is under construction, and we would like to proceed quickly to utilize this access. Estimate will cover all four phases. Phase 3 ($270K) and 4 ($155K) are downstream of 1 and 2 will likely require pipe lining.
Buddy's Lane	2	$80,000	Road Operations Division has a quick fix for drainage. Currently there is road runoff discharging (2930 Buddy's Lane) and causing driveway and house foundation impacts. The roadway grading and resurfacing improvements will provide a benefit to 12 residential lots.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND:

The April 2014 storms produced floodwaters throughout Escambia County. Swollen streams caused excessive flooding and erosion that damaged many roadways, dams, culverts, and bridges.

Meeting in regular session on June 26, 2014, the Board voted to authorize submittal of these projects for consideration for the USDA-NRCS Emergency Watershed Program (EWP). This previous Board action authorized the Chairman to execute, subject to legal review and sign-off, easements, hold-harmless agreements, and other documents of conveyance that may be required from property owners of Escambia County whose properties are adjacent to designated NRCS project sites.

Meeting in regular session on April 9, 2015, the Board voted to authorize execution of appropriate documents to award Design and Construction Contracts for the NRCS projects and to ratify the contracts at the board meeting immediately following the Bid Opening.

This program reimburses 75% of the actual eligible construction costs, and reimburses eligible in-kind technical services not to exceed 7.5% of the actual eligible construction cost. Amendment #3 increases the in-kind technical services to 12% of the actual eligible construction cost. Amendment #3 increases the construction cost by $438,800 and extends the grant expiration date to September 24, 2016.

Change Order #3 for the Ten Mile Creek Restoration Project is an additive change, in the amount of $257,200, to the previous contract amount of $1,667,468.20, and is a cumulative increase of 15.38% to the original contract price of $1,672,498.20. This change consists of an increase in earthwork fill, tied concrete block, rip rap, and other items needed to complete this project. The quantity of fill in the contract is insufficient to complete the project because quantities did not adequately account for continuing erosion since the survey was done over 1 year before project started. Tied concrete block proved too difficult to handle in full design width requiring use of narrower runs which added seams, increasing the quantity required. After review by NRCS, the Engineer of Record (EOR) and the Stream Expert determined that additional areas of tied concrete block were needed for bank stability. The EOR and Stream Expert also determined that additional rip rap is needed to stabilize the toe of the tied concrete block on the banks.

After meeting with NRCS staff onsite for the projects under this agreement, NRCS staff identified additional improvements to ensure future sustainability. A formal request was submitted to NRCS for additional funds for reimbursement of these and other project expenses. The request was approved by NRCS, with the updated NRCS agreement implementing the funding increase included in Amendment #3.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funding for the 25% match is available in Fund 352 "LOST III, Project #15EN3252" and Funding for the Change Order is available in Fund 112 "Disaster Recovery Fund", Cost Center 330493, Project #ESDCE31.

Issue:	County Incentive Grant Application - SR 292 (Gulf Beach Highway)
From:	Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Director
Organization:	Public Works
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the County Incentive Grant Application for the Gulf Beach Highway Signalization Project - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director That the Board take the following action concerning the County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) Application for the Gulf Beach Highway Signalization Project at Patton Drive and Sunset Avenue: A. Authorize staff to submit an application for CIGP Funds to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to request Grant funding for the Gulf Beach Highway Signalization Project; and B. Authorize the County Administrator to sign the Application and any other documents related to the request for CIGP Funds, subject to Legal review and sign-off, without further action of the Board, if applicable. [Funding: $312,000 is available in Fund 352, "LOST III," Cost Center 210107/56301, Project #12EN2152, to be used as a match for this Grant]
BACKGROUND:
The project consists of installing two new signals on Gulf Beach Highway at the intersections with Sunset Avenue and with Patton Drive. The signals will be coordinated to function as one signal due to their close proximity to one another. County staff has completed design and permitting of the two signals. Upon approval, Public Works staff will submit a project application for the County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) for the Gulf Beach Highway Signalization Project. This program allows the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to make grants to counties for the improvement of transportation facilities on the State Highway System (SHS). CIGP funds may be awarded for local transportation facilities off the SHS, but such a project would need to relieve traffic congestion on the SHS. If a project off the SHS is selected for the FDOT 5-Year Work Program, the County will need to enter into a Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) with the Department in the fiscal year that the project is funded. If the project selected is on the SHS, FDOT will manage the project and no JPA will be required. The construction budget for this project was $312,000. The project was advertised in February 2015 and the lowest responsive bid was $726,517. The plans were modified in an attempt to lower the cost. The project was advertised again in May 2015 and the lowest responsive bid was $694,000. The CIGP requires a 50% local match. Escambia County has $312,000 available in Fund 352 for this project. The grant request amount is also $312,000. We have seen construction costs come down from a year ago, therefore our hope is that bids come in about $620,000 and we would not need any additional dollars. However, if construction bids are submitted in the $700,000 range and the CIGP grant is approved as requested, then there may be an additional $76,000 needed to fully fund the construction efforts. If additional funds are needed, the County will work with the Department on securing those funds.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
$312,000 is available in Fund 352 "LOST III", Cost Center 210107/56301, Project #12EN2152 to be used as a match for this Grant.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
The County Incentive Grant Program grant application has been approved as to form and legal sufficiency by Kristin Hual, County Attorney's Office.
PERSONNEL:
County staff will coordinate with FDOT and local stakeholders.
POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
N/A
IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:
County staff will prepare the package and submit to FDOT following approval of the Board of County Commissioners. CIGP grant applications are due April 22, 2016.

Issue:	Contract Amendment for Grant Number SC518, Restoration Completion of Old Escambia County Courthouse
From:	David Wheeler, Department Director
Organization:	Facilities Management
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning a Contract Amendment Request for Restoration Completion of the Old Escambia County Courthouse - David W. Wheeler, CFM, Facilities Management Department Director That the Board take the following action regarding the Contract Amendment Request for Grant Number SC518, Restoration Completion of Old Escambia County Courthouse: A.

Authorize the Chairman or Vice Chairman to sign the Contract Amendment Request; and C. Authorize the County Administrator to sign any future documents required to receive and implement Contract Amendment Request.
BACKGROUND:
On November 6, 2014, the Board approved an Agreement between the State of Florida, Department of State and the Board of County Commissioners for the implementation of the Special Category Grant Number SC518, for the Restoration Completion of Old Escambia County Courthouse project with the State providing $350,000 and the County providing a match of $350,000 for the project. The Grant Agreement required the project to be completed by June 1, 2016. A sealed bid solicitation was advertised for General Contractors on September 1, 2015. Two bids were received and both bids were higher than the budget would allow. The architectural and engineering firm reduced the project’s scope of work and a second sealed bid solicitation was advertised on November 12, 2015. Four bids were received on December 10, 2015 with Green-Simmons being the most responsive and reasonable bidder. Since the project start date (General Contractor’s Notice to Proceed) was delayed by over 90 days, the County requested that the State extend the project completion date from June 1, 2016 to September 30, 2016. The State has approved the new completion date of September 30, 2016 and requires a Contract Amendment to the Grant to be executed by the Board.

Issue:	Agreement with the City of Pensacola d/b/a Pensacola Energy and Escambia County for Interruptible Natural Gas Service
From:	David Wheeler, Department Director
Organization:	Facilities Management
CAO Approval:

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the Agreement with the City of Pensacola for Interruptible Natural Gas Service - David W. Wheeler, CFM, Facilities Management Department Director That the Board take the following action concerning the Agreement with the City of Pensacola d/b/a Pensacola Energy and Escambia County for Interruptible Natural Gas Service: A. Approve the Agreement with the City of Pensacola d/b/a Pensacola Energy and Escambia County for Interruptible Natural Gas Service for: 2935 North "L" Street, 1350 West Leonard Street, 357 South Baylen Street, and 201 South Palafox Street, establishing service, subject to the current City Rate Schedule GAF (Almost Firm Service, Ordinance No. 18-15); and B. Authorize the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute all documents relating to the Agreement, as required. [Funding: Fund 001, General Fund, Cost Center 310207, Object Code 54301]
BACKGROUND:
Pensacola Energy is offering this interruptible gas service rate contract for the Main Jail, Sheriff Administration Building, Sheriff Special Investigation/Evidence Storage Building, Old Sheriff’s Garage, the M. C. Blanchard Judicial Building and Escambia County Government Complex. The rate is based on the County’s volume of gas usage for these buildings, and is also based on the County’s ability to utilize its propane-air backup systems. Pensacola Energy purchases long-term strips of gas at competitive pricing in order to cover the basic needs of their customers, while the balance of their gas is purchased on the daily market and is subject to some price volatility. This Agreement supersedes the existing Interruptible Natural Gas Service Agreement that was approved by the Board on August 20, 2015 between the City of Pensacola (d/b/a Pensacola Energy) and Escambia County for Interruptible Natural Gas. This new Agreement includes a decrease in the Fuel Charge as well as the Usage Charge for gas. The Fuel Charge is decreasing from $3.50 (+1.6% compression fee) per MMBTU to $2.595 (+1.52% compression fee) per MMBTU. The Usage Charge is decreasing from $2.99 to $2.73. The total estimated savings within the terms of the contract with these reductions is approximately $66,872. The verbiage underlined on Page 2 of the contract differs from the previous Amended Contract executed on August 20, 2015. This verbiage allows for the Pipeline Transportation Fee to be adjusted within the Contract’s timeframe and the total Usage Charge was able to be decreased from $2.99 to $2.73. This agreement will commence once it has been fully executed by all parties and continue through March 31, 2017. The County's new rate will be $5.364 per MCF (thousand cubic feet). Without a contract in place, these accounts would be classified as GC-1 (within city limits) or GC-2 (outside city limits). Current rates for these classifications are $18.59 per MCF and $20.12 per MCF respectively.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Funding is available in Fund 001, General Fund, Cost Center 310207, Object Code 54301.

BACKGROUND:
Meeting in regular session on December 5, 2013, the Board approved a contract with Hatch Mott MacDonald (HMM) to evaluate Detroit Boulevard for safety upgrades, and further generate a study of such upgrades. The original contract approved both Phase I (Safety Study; attached herein) and Phase II (Design Services). The intent of Phase I was to provide the County with a safety analysis of the existing conditions of Detroit Boulevard, as well as provide roadway/safety alternatives that the County could implement to mitigate the safety concerns. Phase I also tasked HMM with reviewing the realignment of Johnson Avenue and Detroit Boulevard, and changes being made by FDOT at the interchange of Detroit Boulevard and Highway 29. Due to the unknown outcome of the safety study and FDOT contract, it was impossible to establish a fee for Phase II. If the contract amendment (attached herein) is approved, HMM will provide design, permitting, and construction support services for the project. Both Escambia County Public Works staff and HMM have negotiated and approved the scope of services and fee for Phase II (attached herein). The fee approved for Phase II is established at $328,006.48.

Approve the Contract for Sale and Purchase for the purchase of an access easement (approximately 5.0 acres), located along Whitetail Lane and Booner Circle within Deer Run Subdivision on Beulah Road; and C. Authorize the County Attorney's Office to prepare, and the Chairman or Vice Chairman to execute any documents, subject to Legal review and sign-off, necessary to complete the acquisition of this access easement, without further action of the Board. [Funding: Fund 401, Solid Waste Fund, Cost Center 230315, Projects, Object Code 56801]
BACKGROUND:
On April 7, 2011, the County, through the exercise of its power of eminent domain, acquired certain real property for the purpose of maintaining a system of groundwater monitoring wells located south of the Perdido Landfill. These wells are monitored pursuant to an amended consent order and remedial action plan approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The County's obligation to maintain groundwater monitoring wells on the property, as required by FDEP, is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, and constitutes a need to acquire a recorded Access Easement. Whereas the appraised value of the easement property is valued at $6,000, the County acknowledges that it should share in the cost of usage, care and maintenance over the life of the improved property. Therefore, the contract price of the Access Easement is $30,000. Approval of this contract amount will require a super majority vote.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Funding for this project is available in Fund 401, Solid Waste Fund, Cost Center 230315, Projects, Object Code 56801.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
The Contract for Sale and Purchase and Access Easement were approved as to form and legal sufficiency by Stephen West, Senior Assistant County Attorney.
PERSONNEL:
All work associated with this request is being done in-house and no additional staff is required.
POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
These actions are consistent with the provisions of Section 46-139 of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances.
IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:
Upon Board approval, staff will maintain compliance with Section 46-139 of the County Codes.
