8e. Utility Developer Agreement Between The Villages of Lake-Sumter, Inc. and Marion County " , County Attorney Minter presented the following recommendation:

Description/Background: This utility developer agreement is for the provision of water and wastewater service to the tracts of larid south of CR 42 and west of U.S. 441 that were the subject of the resolution that the Board approved to 'be annexed into the Villages CDD Unit NO.4. The County currently has a sewer main that is proximate to these' tracts, but there .is no water main available to service the properties. MCUD's capital program, does not have the construction of such a water' main' planned iri time to coincide with the plans of the developer. Therefore, this agreement provides. that the developer will "front-end" the construction of

" sections of water main" necessary to service its new development; further, the developer will oversize the water mains so that they will be large enough to serve other developments in the area. In return for the ,undertaking this project, Marion County will, upon completion and the County's acceptance of the lines! reimburse

, . the developer for the cost of the line (up to a not-to-exceed limit, based on the engineer's estimate provided in the agreement); less the, value of theERCs that the developer would have had to pay to serve its own properties. The developer will also be conveying certain wastewater facilities and real property interests to the County. This projectwill facilitate additional. new development in this, area of the County, and will enable MCUD to begin recovering its investment in the wastewater main that is already present. MCUDwill also reimburse the developer for the design work, and permitting costs it has incurred for the construction of a new Utopia Water Treatment Plant to serve this area.The construction of that plant wil,1 be covered by a separate agreement with another developer.

May 3,2016

Budget/Impact: The County's not-to-exceed reimbursement amount for the design, permitting, and construction of the water mains, and advance - design and permitting of the Utopia Water Plant is: $2,027,234.00, to be paid by MCUD funds. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the Villages of Lake-Sumter, Inc., Utility Developer Agreement.

Mr. Minter commented on the Utility Developer Agreement with The Villages of Lake­Sumter, Inc. Under this agreement the developer will design, permit and construct the waterline to not only serve its development, but will also oversize the waterline so that other developments in the area can be served. Because the developer is in effect "fronting" this development, the Agreement provides that, to the extent that the sizing of the line exceeds what is required to serve their development, the county will reimburse them for the excess, which will be available to serve other developments in the area. As other developments tie-in they will have to pay capital charges at which time the county will recover its money. At one time there was contemplation that this developer might construct the Utopia water plant; however, it was ultimatelydeterrnined that another entity will do that construction. This developer has already performed some of the design and permitting work for that water plant and this Agreement also provides for payment of the design and permit work for that project. He advised that staff recommends approval of the Developer's Service Agreement. A motion was made by Commissioner Moore, seconded by Commissioner Arnett, to approve' and execute the Marion County Water & Wastewater System Developer's Service Agreement Contract No. 16-01. The motion- was unanimously approved by the Board (5-0). (Ed. Note: COD is the acronym for Community Development District; and MCUD is an acronym for Marion County Utilities Department.)

5. CLERK OF CIRCUIT COURT - UPDATE: Budget Director Michael Tomich commented on earlier Board action regarding the budget amendment related to CDBG funds (Item 5A1).

That conversation continued for about 1 year, but was unable to generate interest from other counties at that time. He stated he wanted to address this with the Board to see if there is any interest to try and restart that conversation as it is a different time.

Commissioner Zalak returned at 10:31 a.m. Chairman Bryant stated when they originally discussed the issue, financially for the citizens of Marion County it made sense to partner with other counties Commissioner Zalak stated counties need to be willing to commit and bond with Marion County in an Interlocal Agreement, noting cost can be a factor.

Ms. Straub advised that the appeal period ended in December, 2015. There were 9 individual appeals that are all being handled by private counsel. She stated once the maps are adopted any dispute will require additional surveys and possibly an engineer to evaluate the area. Mr. Bouyounes advised that ACA Jeannie Rickman will be out of office for the next 30 days.

Florida Blue's proposal includes a premium rate hold with no change to current coverage or premiums, Profit Sharing Agreement, Wellness Program incentive increase to $150,000, and continuation of the Diabetes Disease Management program. Through further negotiations, Florida Blue agreed to set and lock in the administration/retention and pooling fees for the second and third year of the current profit sharing agreement and to mutually negotiate another profit sharing agreement to begin October 1, 2017. The Profit Sharing agreement includes the components of Earned Premium; Incurred Claims; Administrative Charge; and Pooling Charge.

Description/Background: On April 19, 2016, the Board authorized staff to proceed with a specific LDC Amendment to create the Southwood Ranch, CR 475A Corridor-Gateway Overlay Zone. A LDC Amendment requires one public hearing with the Land Development Regulation Commission (LDRC), which is scheduled for May 11, 2016, and two public hearings. with the Board of County Commissioners. This item is proposing the two dates for the Board public hearings. The Southwood Ranch Overlay is intended to be a mixed use community with commercial and residential uses that creates an attractive and efficlent development pattern in a defined portion of southern Marion County that will support the equine industry including the Florida Horse Park. The new Overlay Zone establishes unified and enhanced buffer and sign regulations, and limits the intensity of cornrnerclal uses to those permitted in B-2 (Community Business) Zoning District for the zone. The draft Southwood Ranch, CR 475A Corridor-Gateway Overlay District will be reviewed and vetted with the LDRC and their recommendation, along with the staff recommendation, will be presented at these scheduled public hearings. In order to hold both hearings during the proposed daytime hours the vote for the dates and times must be approved by super-majority. Budget/Impact: None. Recommended Action: Motion to schedule and advertise the public hearing dates to consider the adoption of an Ordinance amending Article 5, to add Division 8 Southwood Ranch, CR 475A Corridor-Gateway Overlay District on the regularly scheduled Commission meetings of Tuesday, May 17, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. or immediately following previously scheduled public hearing and Tuesday, June 7, 2016 at 10:00 a.m.
