Item 8

Consider the Acquisition of 1,994 Acres for Mitigation and Passive Recreation
along the St. Johns River and McCullough Creek from the Jacksonville Port
Authority. The Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) has an interest in selling to
the County 1393.67 acres of land with frontage on the St. Johns River, State Road 13
and McCullough Creek. JAXPORT also has an interest in conveying or long term
leasing, at no cost to the County, 600.11 acres of land under a Conservation
Easement surrounded by the above mentioned 1393.67 acre parcel. The parcel has a
major potential for passive recreational activities including trails, which is described
as a need in the recent review and update of the St. Johns County Parks and
Recreation Master Plan. The parcel further has the potential to provide an estimated
200+ mitigation credits and was recently targeted for acquisition as a Regional Offsite
Mitigation Area (ROMA) site due to a projected 70 SJRWMD credit and 80 Army
Corps of Engineers credit deficit in wetland mitigation credits for future County
projects in Mitigation Basin 8. The total purchase price is $4,459,744 dollars. Tree
Bank Fund has available funding of $2,490,000 dollars. The remaining balance
(including closing cost) is $2,040,000 dollars. Proceeds resulting from timber sales
are estimated at $1,000,000 within approximately one year following the closing and
the remaining $1,000,000 in approximately ten years. There is also potential for
Florida Communities Trust (FCT) Grant funding for 75% reimbursement within 2
years of acquisition should a grant be applied for and approved.

Item 10

Recommended Approach to Property Tax Reform. With Property Tax Reform
(known as Amendment 1, the Homestead Exemption Increase Amendment) on the
ballot in Florida as a constitutional amendment on November 6, 2018, County
Administration, through the Office of Management & Budget, is recommending a
two-year approach to the budget to moderate the effects.

Item 11

Public Hearing * Land Development Code Amendment - First reading of Ban on
Medical Marijuana Treatment Center Dispensing Facilities. This is a first reading
of an amendment to the St. Johns County Land Development Code to ban Medical
Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC) Dispensing Facilities. On February 20th, this
Board directed staff to implement a ban on MMTC Dispensing facilities as allowed
and permitted by section 381.986 (11), Florida Statutes. Dispensing Facilities are
the retail component of a Medical Marijuana Treatment Center similar to pharmacies.
This places Dispensing Facilities as a prohibited use in all zoning districts and
zoning categories. This ban on Dispensing Facilities does not affect the cultivation,
processing, or delivery of Medical Marijuana in St. Johns County by a MMTC licensed
with the State. Marijuana is illegal under Federal Law. This item is scheduled for
recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Agency on April 5, 2017 and for a
second hearing before the BCC on April 17, 2018.

Item 12

Discussion on lobbyist regulations. At the February 6 Board of County
Commissioners meeting, the Board directed the County Attorney's Office to provide
the Board with an overview of lobbying regulations from around the state as well as
possible options for a St. Johns County lobbying ordinance. Florida law provides for
the registration of lobbyists who lobby the State Legislature, executive agencies, the
Constitutional Revision Commission, and the Water Management Districts. Although
the State Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees (Chapter 112, Part III,
Florida Statutes) does not contain lobbyist registration for local governments, Section
112.326, Florida Statutes permits counties to impose additional requirements by
ordinance. This office has reviewed lobbyist regulations put into place by other
counties around the state and has found that these regulations typically address the
following areas: (1) Registration of lobbyists (including disclosure of principals); (2)
Disclosure of lobbyists' compensation and expenditures; (3) Contingency fees; (4)
Tracking of lobbyists' contacts with public officials; (5) Treatment of attorney
lobbyists; and (6) Lobbying in connection with competitive solicitations. This office
seeks direction from the Board regarding preparation of an ordinance regulating
lobbyist activity.
