Item 1 - Presenter - Melissa Glasgow, Director of Economic Development
Rulon Company Economic Development Incentive Request. The St. Johns County
Economic Development Agency (Agency) has received an application from Rulon
Company (Applicant), for economic development incentives to construct a 27,000
square foot addition to their 85,000 square foot office/manufacturing building located
at 2000 Ring Way in the World Commerce Center. The Applicant manufactures
acoustic ceiling and wall wood panels and relocated to St. Johns County in 2006. They
have grown successfully during this time, and currently employ 139 people in St.
Johns County. This project represents a proposed expansion of an existing operation
to accommodate additional sales and business growth. If approved, the company
intends to maintain their local employment base and hire 20 new employees at an
average wage of $40,500 within the next three years. After the Agency received the
application, the applicant subsequently withdrew their request for confidentiality.
The project scored 6 points under the ‘Existing Industry’ category of the County’s
Business Incentive Program, which makes it eligible for expedited permitting and an
economic development grant of up to 100% of fees paid to the County by the applicant
(Impact Fees and Water/Sewer Connection Fees) and four years Ad Valorem taxes
paid by the applicant (general County portion) on capital improvements and tangible
personal property. Completion of the project is anticipated by the last quarter of
calendar year 2018. With this schedule, the first annual grant payment would be
anticipated during FY 20. The total estimated value of the incentive is $129,238. In
accordance with Program requirements, the Agency is required to review the
application and make a written report to the Board of County Commissioners. Staff
recommends support of this incentive application.

Item 8 - Presenter - Tera Meeks, Director, Tourism and Cultural Development
Staff seeks Board direction regarding the current tourist related services
agreements with the St. Johns County Visitors and Convention Bureau, Inc. and
the St. Johns Cultural Council, Inc., which are set to expire on September 30,
2018. The County initially entered into an agreement with the St. Johns County
Visitors and Convention Bureau, Inc. (VCB) on February 2, 2010, to provide
professional advertising, marketing and promotional services aimed at attracting
tourist and convention activity to the County. Since that time, the term of the
agreement has been extended by amendment and the now current Extension
Agreement (see attached). The current Extension Agreement expires on September 30,
2018, and provides for two year term extensions upon approval by the Board. For FY
2018, funding in the amount of $4,448,612 is approved to provide services under the
Agreement. The County initially entered into an agreement with the St. Johns
Cultural Council, Inc. (Cultural Council) on July 1, 2011, to market the County as an
arts, culture and heritage destination, manage the County's Arts and Culture Grant
Program and to perform other tourist related duties as directed. Since that time, the
term of the agreement has been extended by the now current Extension Agreement
(see attached). The current Extension Agreement expires on September 30, 2018, and
provides for two year term extensions upon approval by the Board. For FY 2018,
funding in the amount of $1,921,727 is approved to provide services under the
Agreement. On February 26, 2018, the Tourist Development Council (TDC) reviewed
each of the agreements and considered whether to: (1) extend the effective terms as
provided in each of the agreements; (2) extend the effective term of each agreement,
subject to amended revisions; or (3) allow each of the existing agreements to expire,
and procure the services by issuing an RFP. By majority vote, the TDC recommends
extending the effective term of each agreement, subject to the attached amended
revisions. Here, Staff seeks Board direction in moving forward to secure the services.

Porpoise Point Erosion Issues. The Porpoise Point Community was severely
impacted by Hurricane Irma. Existing drainage issues have been further exacerbated
by the severe sand dune erosion that has occurred at the end of Porpoise Point Drive.
Since most of the erosion occurred on federally owned lands, County Staff has reached
out to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to identify the cause of erosion and
seek necessary solutions to address the erosion. The USACE has referenced a
Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) as a funding mechanism to better understand
the erosion. Staff will provide a brief presentation to the BCC and seek approval to
request the USACE to study the erosion issue.

Permit for an offshore source of beach sand for beach restoration projects. On
April 18, 2017, St. Johns County and the St. Augustine Port Waterway and Beach
District (District) entered into an interlocal agreement to substitute the County in
place of the District as the applicant for a permit to place sand from the St. Augustine
inlet system on the beach between Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) monument R-84 and R-117. Based on recent discussions with the FDEP and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the County will need to permit an offshore
sand source instead. Performing the required engineering and environmental work
necessary to permit the offshore sand source for future projects could take 12 to 18
months. An engineering firm would be selected by RFQ to assist in the application
process, which could cost up to $400,000 from existing beach nourishment funding.
Securing the permit now will enable the County to respond to projects and funding
opportunities over the coming years in a timely manner, including but not limited to
the MSTU project currently under consideration, while avoiding the bottleneck of a
lengthy permit process.

Item 13 - Presenter - Gail Oliver, Land Management Systems Director
District 5
Consider direction to Staff for accepting or declining a Bill of Sale for bulkhead
improvements and stairs at the east end of Thirteenth Street in the North Beach
Subdivision. Following Hurricane Matthew several beachfront property owners in
North Beach between Third Street and Twenty-Fourth approached the County to allow
for construction of bulkheads across unopened County right-of-ways "ROW". The
bulkheads are being constructed at the adjoining property owners expense in an effort
to build a continuous bulkhead across their property and County ROW to prevent the
"washout" effect providing protection for the homes, County ROW and ultimately State
Road A1A (Coastal Highway). As part of the permit application to construct across the
County ROW, an Indemnity Agreement is required to be executed by the property
owner for maintenance of the bulkhead and indemnification for liability. The
agreement further sets forth that it would terminate upon the conveyance of the
bulkhead to the County and acceptance by the BOCC. Mr. Eric Berg is the property
owner on each side of Thirteenth Street and has constructed a bulkhead and stairs is
now requesting acceptance of such to release his liability and maintenance
responsibilities as allowed for in the agreement. A portion of the stairs are located on
both County ROW and Mr. Berg's property which would require an easement from Mr.
Berg. Acceptance of private property or private improvements in the County Right-of-
Way is at the sole discretion of the Board of County Commissioners. Staff is not
seeking approval of the Resolution, but seeking policy direction from the Board of
County Commissioners and, if directed, will prepare the necessary documents related
to acceptance of the bulkhead improvements.
