AGENDA APPROVAL
A. ADMINISTRATION
1. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
A) Budget Transfer of $400,000 from the State Attorney’s Court Information
Technology operating budget to the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS)
capital project;
B) Budget Amendment of $400,000 in the Court Information Technology Capital
Fund – CJIS Project to recognize the transfer from the State Attorney as
reimbursement for previously expended Ad Valorem dollars and appropriate the
reimbursed funds to be transferred to the Public Building Improvement Fund; and
C) Budget Amendment of $400,000 in the Public Improvement Fund to recognize
the transfer and appropriate it to the State Attorney’s 2nd Floor
Shell Build-out project.
Summary: The State Attorney has requested a build-out
of the 2nd floor shell to accommodate additional computer equipment
and the need for a cooler environment for the equipment. Facilities’ has estimated the cost to
complete the project at $400,000, but does not have the budget. The State Attorney would like to use $400,000
of their court technology budget to fund the project, but this type project is
not eligible to be funded with $2 Court Information Technology funds. However, the $2 funds can be used to
reimburse the County for Ad Valorem funding previously expended on eligible
court technology costs. To that end, the
$400,000 is being transferred to the Court Information Technology Capital fund
where the Ad Valorem was expended and then to the 2nd Floor
Build-out Project in the Building Improvement Fund. Countywide (PFK)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve: the First
Amendment to the Contract for Consulting/Professional Services dated January 10,
2006 (R2006-0119) with Kathleen Owens relating to a fire rescue minimum level
of service and emergency communications. This Amendment extends the agreement
for twelve (12) months until December 31, 2008 and increases the hourly rate by
5%, for a not-to-exceed amount of $ 8,593.50 for Consultant’s fees and $600 for
expenses, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $9,193.50 for the extension
period. SUMMARY: In 2006, Ms. Kathleen Owens was retained by
the Board to provide assistance to the Fire Rescue Level of Service
Committee. The original contract’s term
was for a two (2) year period, expiring December 31, 2007, with a not-to-exceed
amount of $18,960. This Amendment will
increase the consultant’s hourly rate by 5%; however, the total contract not-to-exceed
amount of $18,960 will remain the same, including the extension period. While the Fire Rescue Level of Service
Committee has made significant progress, there are still several tasks that
have not yet been completed. Key among
these issues is the development of a response time methodology and standard for
the entire region by October 2009. The
Fire Rescue Level of Service Committee is recommending Ms. Owens’ contract be
extended until December 31, 2008 to assist with the finalization of these final
important tasks. Countywide (SB)

4. Staff recommends motion to approve:
the revised program guidelines for the Neighborhood Street Lighting Program
(NSLP). SUMMARY: On December
21, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the program
guidelines for the Neighborhood Street Lighting Program (NSLP). Since that time, program goals and other
requirements have necessitated various changes to the NSLP guidelines. The main changes being made to the NSLP
include extending the maintenance period for requests received by Homeowner
Associations (HOA) within Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT)
neighborhoods from 10 to 20 years as provided to non-HOA applicants, and
revising program guidelines to make the replacement and/or repair of existing
lights eligible for NSLP funds. The Office of Community Revitalization (OCR)
revised the NSLP guidelines and presented them to the CCRT Committee, who
recommended approval on November 13, 2007.
If these changes are approved by the BCC, the new guidelines will be
applied to future applications. Countywide
