Item 1 - Public Hearing * Amendment to St. Johns Welfare Federation Health Care
Revenue Bonds. The St. Johns County Industrial Development Authority (IDA)
adopted on June 10, 2019 a resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of an
amended and restated trust indenture and an amended and restated loan agreement
in connection with the IDA's outstanding $14,335,000 Health Care Revenue Bonds,
Tax Exempt Series 2007 (Bayview Project). The purpose of the amendments is to
obtain a release of the mortgage on the Buckingham Smith facility, which is currently
identified in the trust indenture and loan agreement as collateral for the Health Care
Revenue Bonds, in anticipation of the sale of the facility. Because the amendments to
the trust indenture and loan agreement may be deemed to be a ‘re-issuance’ of the
Series 2007 Bonds for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code, a TEFRA hearing was
held on June 3, 2019 pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code. The
IDA requests that the Board approve the amendments to the trust indenture and loan
agreement in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue
Code and Section 125.01(1)(z), Florida Statutes.

Item 4 (Part 1 of 2) - Public Hearing * PUD 2018-02 IGP Equities WGV. A request to rezone
approximately 1.4 acres of land from Open Rural (OR) to Planned Unit Development
(PUD) to allow for the construction of a commercial building, located north of State
Road 16 and east of Pacetti Road/International Golf Parkway. This application was
heard by the Planning and Zoning Agency in November 15, 2018 and was
recommended for denial with a vote 6-1. The Agency stated that the site appeared to
be over-designed for its size, suggested interconnectivity be provided and requested
that staff comments be addressed regarding development and scenic edge
requirements. The Board of County Commissioners heard the request December 18,
2018 and voted 5-0 to continue the item remanding it back to the Agency for hearing
prior to being heard by BCC for a second time. The Board requested the applicant
consider providing a potential future connection between the subject property and the
World Commerce Center property and resolve other concerns addressed within the
staff report. Following the hearing the applicant addressed some of the remaining
concerns by modifying the two provided MDP Maps and altering some language within
the Text, as described within the prepared staff report. The Planning and Zoning
Agency heard the remanded application on June 6, 2019, voting 4-2 in favor of
recommending approval of the PUD with modifications to the application. The motion
that carried included that the MDP Text be modified to provide for enhanced
landscaping in the reduced Development Edge. The motion also required that only
MDP Map #1 would be considered, rather than the two MDP Maps, which relied on
the future development of the adjacent parcel before determining which document
would prevail. Additional information regarding the Agency public hearing are
provided in the attached Staff Report.

Item 9 - Fiscal Year 2020 Recommended Budget and Tentative Millage Rates. The annual
County budget process requires a number of steps, ranging from its preparation
through adoption. Florida Statutes (F.S. 129.03(3) and F.S. 200.065, Truth in Millage
(“TRIM”) requirements) specify that a balanced Recommended Budget must be
submitted to the Board of County Commissioners as the next step in the budget
process. The FY 2020 Recommended Budget has been balanced with expenditures
and adequate reserves within each County fund equal to projected fund revenues.
County Administration's Recommended Budget represents a funding level that can
reasonably assure the achievement of St. Johns County’s operational needs while
minimizing the tax impact on its citizenry. A Fiscal Year 2020 Recommended Budget
Workbook will be provided to the County Commission on or before July 9, 2019. In
addition, an electronic version of the workbook may be found on the County's website
at: www.sjcfl.us/OMB . The BCC will need to approve tentative Millage rates (see the
attached sheet) for the County’s TRIM mailing and approve September 3, 2019 @ 5:01
PM in the County Auditorium as the Date, Time and Place of the first public hearing
for the adoption of the FY 2020 Annual Budget. For practical purposes, once the
tentative Millage rates are set, they can still be decreased but not increased. 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.
