Item A1

Proposed TPO 2040 Long Range Plan Corridor.

Item 1

Contracts for the Collection and Transportation of Residential Waste. In 2010, St. Johns County entered into a seven year agreement with two Firms; Republic Services of Florida, LP and Advanced Disposal Services, for the collection and transportation of residential waste within the County. The contract is slated to expire in July 2017; both the firms have requested extensions of their contracts. The proposed contract will amend and restate the current terms and extend the contract to July 31st 2024. The proposed negotiated contract provides the following benefits to the County: Based on negotiated rates, allows to the County to save approximately $1.9 million (NPV) over the next three years (June 2014 – July 2017) and approximately $9.0 million over the contract term (June 2014 – July 2024). Allows the County to provide single stream recycle services
(collection of recyclables in a 32 gallon or 96 gallon container compared to the current 18
gallon bin) to its customers two and a half years ahead of its current contract expiration.
All costs (estimated at over $3.5 million), including new recycle carts and their
maintenance will be provided for by the Contractors. The single stream recycle program
will not only help the County increase its recycling percentage goal (recommended by the
State of Florida), but will also reduce curb-side garbage, thereby reducing the amount of tonnage to be disposed to a landfill. This providing an additional savings estimated to be over $2.3 million (NPV). The restated terms in the contract also require the Contractors to provide for certain number of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles to be utilized for the collection and transport of residential waste. This will provide an additional fuel savings estimated to over $1 million (NPV).

Item 2

Public Works Facility Design Build Criteria Package. On March 4th 2014, the St. Johns
County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorized the County Administrator to take necessary procedural steps required for the construction, operation and maintenance of a compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling facility. The BCC also authorized the Administrator to explore the feasibility of locating the CNG facility at the current Public Works Complex. The corner of Industry Center Road and SR 16 remains to be the preferred location of the CNG Facility as it features several benefits including proximity to the County’s current fueling operations, proximity to a natural gas pipeline, traffic safety, provision for future expansion, and County’s ownership of the property. Based on proposals submitted by potential CNG Private-Public Partnership (P3) firms, the proposed location appears to provide the best cost benefit to the County. This location is also home to the County’s current Public Works operations. The Public Works building has been in place for over 45 years and is well past its service life, both in terms of building age and available room for staff to service the needs of the County. The replacement of this building is one of the several deferred maintenance projects identified by the County. The savings identified from the CNG program can significantly leverage the funding of this
needed Public Works Facility. Based on a preliminary analysis, significant percentage of
the funding needed for the Public Works Facility can be provided by the savings from the CNG program and the consolidation of the Public Works operations.

Item 3

Public Hearing – Revisions to the Land Development Code. This is the first public
hearing in a three part series to consider changes to eight articles of the Land
Development Code. This amendment series primarily intends to incorporate a new Special
Use for Large Places of Assembly along with incidentally necessary revisions to various
articles. This series also addresses the applicability of the Coastal Overlay Districts, adds an optional Preliminary Subdivision Plan review, and revises various other sections for
clarity and/or to address common waiver and variance requests.

Item 4

Public Hearing - Northridge Lakes Community Development District The applicant, Northridge Lakes Community Development District (“District”) and the property owner D.R. Horton have requested that the District be dissolved pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statues. The Board of County Commissioners approved Ordinance 2003-18, establishing the District on March 18, 2003. D.R. Horton will finance the District
infrastructure improvements through conventional methods and allow the Property Owners Association to operate and maintain them. This ordinance will repeal Ordinance 2003-18, which created the original District.

Item 9

Public Hearing – Program of Projects 2014. Each year the Federal Transit Administration apportions funding for urbanized area public transportation assistance. St Johns County’s apportionment for 2014 is $924,520. Once apportionment is determined, a Program of Projects is developed and used as the basis for the Section 5307 Urbanized Area Grant submittal. Prior to grant submittal, federal guidelines require a hearing for the approval of the Program of Projects. The match requirement for this grant will be 50% for operating costs and 20% for capital. Operating costs for this year’s grant is $470,370 with the match coming from the County through the adopted annual budget for transit ($276,489) and an FDOT Block Grant ($342,552). The 20% match for $454,150 in capital will come from a soft match of toll revenue credits provided by the State of Florida.

Item 10

Public Hearing – First reading of the St. Johns County Business Incentive Ordinance. The purpose of the proposed St. Johns County Business Incentive Ordinance (“Ordinance”) is to provide necessary tools to support economic development to assist in the attraction of high quality development in all areas of the County.

Economic Development Incentive Grant Applications and removes ambiguous language

As a result of recent meetings with County Staff, the Sheriff’s Office, concerned citizens,
