Nocatee Preserve Trailhead Impact Fee Reimbursement Agreement. St. Johns
County received the 1630 acre Nocatee Preserve through a development order with
the Tolomato Community Development District. The Nocatee Preserve provides
residents and visitors with passive recreation elements in a natural setting and
allows picturesque views of "Old Florida". The Management Plan provides for the
development of a southern trailhead within the Preserve that would serve as the sole
public waterway access for the 1630 acre parcel. St. Johns County and the Tolomato
Community Development District mutually seek to complete construction of the
southern trailhead facility. The Tolomato Community Development District has
agreed to prepay impact fees to fund a portion of the project cost to facilitate
completion of the project, in exchange for reimbursement of the fees credits.
Completion of the Southern Trailhead will benefit the public by providing unique
educational and recreational opportunities while preserving invaluable natural
resources.

Item 8

Consider the proposed 2018 St. Johns County Legislative Action Plan and Top
Three Legislative priorities. The St. Johns County Legislative Action Plan is a
focused list of priorities for which the County requests financial assistance and other
support from our State and Federal legislative delegation members. Legislative
priorities have historically included issues related to Florida Statutes, transportation,
water quality, unfunded mandates, and a variety of other subjects. During this item,
County Administration will present a list of recommended legislative priorities that
was compiled with input from staff, constitutional officers, local cities, and other
regional partners for the Board to consider adopting as the 2018 Legislative Action
Plan. The approved Legislative Action Plan is subsequently presented to the public
and submitted to the County’s Legislative Delegation for consideration prior to the
next legislative session. In addition, the Northeast Florida Regional Council (NEFRC)
requests that all member Counties identify and consider adopting three top
legislative priorities from the Legislative Action Plan. The NEFRC Legislative
Committee will subsequently identify regional priorities for the 2018 Legislative
Session that will be submitted to the region’s State and Federal Elected officials.
