Item 1

Flagler Hospital Revenue Bonds. The St. Johns County Industrial Development
Authority (IDA) adopted a resolution at its July 10, 2017 meeting authorizing the
issuance of Hospital Revenue Bonds (the Bonds) in an amount not to exceed
$110,000,000, the proceeds of which will be loaned to Flagler Hospital for the
purposes of (i) financing, reimbursing or refinancing all or a part of the costs of
capital projects composing a “health care facility” within the meaning provided in
Chapter 159, Florida Statutes, at the Hospital’s existing facilities and certain
facilities to be developed, all located or to be located within the County (the Project),
(ii) refunding the IDA's outstanding Hospital Revenue Refunding Bonds (Flagler
Hospital, Inc. Project), Series 2010A and Hospital Revenue Refunding Bonds (Flagler
Hospital, Inc. Project), Series 2010B and (iii) paying the costs of issuing the Bonds.
Issuance of the Bonds is subject to the approval of the Board of County
Commissioners. Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, a public hearing and approval by the Board of County Commissioners is
required before the bonds can be issued. Following the publication of a Notice of
Hearing, a public hearing was held by the IDA on July 10, 2017, during which
comments and discussion concerning the issuance of the Bonds were requested and
allowed. The Bonds will be payable solely from the revenues pledged pursuant to a
loan agreement entered into between the IDA and the Borrower and shall not create
any liability on the part of the County. The Board's adoption of this resolution does
not constitute an endorsement of the creditworthiness of the Borrower; a
recommendation to any prospective purchaser to purchase the Bonds; an evaluation
of the likelihood of the repayment of the debt service on the Bonds; or approval of
any required permits relating to the project.

Item 2

Consider a Proposal for Public-Private Partnership to construct a VA
Community Based Outpatient Clinic. Following a solicitation process on the open
market that did not yield a lease contract, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) issued a sole source solicitation to the County to lease built-to-suit space for a
new St. Augustine Community-Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) adjacent to the St.
Johns County Health and Human Services Center. In order to determine the
feasibility of the project and move forward with negotiations, the County hired an
Architectural and Engineering firm to estimate the costs of the VA’s construction
requirements and assist in negotiations to reduce expensive building components.
The VA amended the solicitation on November 18, 2016 to reduce some of the
requirements, but the estimated construction cost still exceeded the County’s ability
to recoup the construction expense within a reasonable period. Due-diligence efforts
to reconcile the disparity between the anticipated costs and revenues revealed an
opportunity to enter into a Public-Private Partnership that would provide the CBOC
at the desired location without incurring cost to the County. The County has received
a proposal and approval is needed to solicit competing offers. After evaluation of all
proposals, staff will bring the highest ranked proposal to the Board for consideration.

Item 3

Proposed FY 2018 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 18, 2017. 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 the 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 05,
2017 @ 5:30 PM in the County Auditorium as the Date, Time and Place of the first
public hearing for the adoption of the FY 2018 Annual Budget. For practical
purposes, once the tentative Millage rates are set, they can still be decreased but not
increased.

Item 6

Public Hearing * St. Johns County HUD CDBG FY 2017-2018 Annual Action
Plan, and SF-424 Universal Application and Certificates. St. Johns County must
submit to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), an Annual
Action Plan detailing how HUD grant funds will be utilized in the upcoming grant
year to meet the goals and objectives identified in the Five Year Consolidated Plan.
The plan must be submitted to HUD, for review and approval, by Wednesday, August
16th, 2017. HUD has 45 days to review this plan. HUD will not release any grant
funds until an approved plan is in place. St. Johns County has been allocated
funding for FY 2017/18 under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of
$826,849. Once an approved plan is in place, HUD will execute contracts with St.
Johns County for receipt of these funds. In accordance with HUD regulations, the
draft Annual Action Plan was published for a 30 day public comment period which
ended on July 31, 2017. A public hearing, taking comments on the plan, was held on
July 21, 2017.
