Parking Implementation Study. As part of the FY 2016 Adopted Budget, the
Commission approved a study to investigate an off-beach parking program with
potential revenue generation to offset an increasing annual General Fund subsidy.
The County's financial advisor, Public Financial Management, (PFM), in concert with
Phillips Parking LLC, evaluated multiple strategic options and created a parking
revenue projection model. County staff from Parks & Recreation, Beach Services,
and OMB have been consulted throughout the analysis. Greg Butler, Senior
Managing Consultant for PFM will highlight findings from the attached Parking
Implementation Study.

Proposed FY 2017 Tentative Millage Rates and Date of First Public Hearing.
The State of Florida, through the Truth in Millage Act (TRIM), obligates that the
County follow a precise process in the establishment of its annual budget. A
Recommended Budget was prepared and presented to the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) on July 19, 2016. Following the development and
presentation of a recommended budget, the County is obligated to provide certain
information concerning that budget to the Property Appraiser. This information
includes the proposed Millage rates for each of the County’s dependent taxing
districts and the establishment of a date, time and location of the first public hearing
for Millage rate and budget adoption. This information is placed on Department of
Revenue DR–420 forms and forwarded to the Property Appraiser. Those forms
provide the basis for the “TRIM” notice mailed by the Property Appraiser to property
owners in St. Johns County. The BCC will need to approve tentative Millage rates
(see the attached sheet) for the County’s TRIM mailing and approve September 6,
2016 @ 5:01 PM in the County Auditorium as the Date, Time and Place of the first
public hearing for the adoption of the FY 2017 Annual Budget. For practical
purposes, once the tentative Millage rates are set, they can still be decreased but not
increased.

Item 5

Presenter - Mary Ann Blount, Land Management Systems Director
Resolution authorizing the County Administrator or designee to execute an
Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding and County Deed conveying to
the City of St. Augustine Beach 6.11 acres of property located at 953 A1A
Beach Boulevard for use as a park. On July 1, 2005 St. Johns County and City of
St. Augustine Beach partnered resources to acquire 6.11 acres of property for a
future passive park and/or nature viewing area. The County applied for a FCT Grant
and scored well, but it was not funded. Subsequently, the City and County agreed to
jointly purchase the property. The County purchased the property in its entirety with
the understanding that it would be reimbursed by the City for half the purchase and
acquisition costs. The Beach recently fulfilled their financial obligation and is now
requesting the property be conveyed to them by County Deed. The property lies
within the City limits and its comprehensive plan was amended designating the
future land use from Commercial to Park and Recreation. The County Deed will have
a restriction stating the property is to be used as a public park only or will revert
back to the County. If the conveyance of the parkland is approved by the County, it
will be maintained by the City with no future financial participation or involvement
by the County required.
