Attachment: Financial Advisor Recommendation Letter - 2013 Rev Refunding Bonds.07FEB2013.pdf -- With interest rates at a historical low, the county stands to save $5.5 million (over the scheduled period of original). Jim Seuffert, Director of Financial Management, confirmed there would not be any credit extension, nor had the county participated in any IRS's (Interest Rate Swaps) in the bond's history. He said current credit limit exceeded bond debt by a very measurable amount and that the county's financial rating remains AA. -- Approved, Unanimous
39.: Park and Recreation Athletic Field Sign Policy: (Addition to regular agenda) -- Staff recommended that the Board maintain the adopted sign policy. Lakewood Ranch Little League (LRLL) President David Dees explained to the Board that their sign business will not carry the financial weight of the organization if they are forced to go back to fabric signs. LRLL chose to ignore the county's sign ordnance believing the "safety factor" that worried county officials had been taken care of. LRLL agreed with the motion to have them first replace the half inch bolts with flat ones (to prevent injury risk) and soon meet with the county and modify the policy if it is in both party's interest. -- Approved, Unanimous (Full Story)

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
37. Commissioner Comments --
Commissioner Benac -- Asked Ed Hunzeker where the FDOT money for South County is? Hunzeker said "at first they said they had $4 million then $6 million, then they told us we would have to pay, I think they have a "Public Safety" fund they are going to take it from.
Commissioner Gallen said, "I would like to make a motion for county and staff to get with volunteers and others to see what alternative use we can find for the old jail." We should put a panel together. -- Approved, Unanimous
Gallen said he was working with School Board District One Barbara Harvey on opening the school yards to after hour activities.
Commissioner Chappie said, "First I want to thank Nick, (Azzara) for he has done keeping up with HB 147. He added, "It could raise it's ugly head again."
Commissioner DiSabatino said, I want to thank Betsy for bringing-up the FDOT issue. then she asked Hunzeker, "when are we going to hear what's going on with the South County Community Center? Hunzeker answered, "The sole responder RFP went out, and they submitted a list of questions, I'll have to see if we got the answers back."
Commissioner Whitmore said, "Parking garage passed a No Tespassing ordinance. They have hanging out in the stairwell, to get out of the weather."
"We need to put a letter together for lenders to know we are behind and working hard to get hotels in here. Right now they can get financed. We need more hotels."
Commissioner Bustle suggested getting a letter to FDOT so the county or a partner could take over maintenance on the proposed five crosswalks that would sit between both of the "Welcome To Parish" signs in the village of Parrish. Bustle said one of the assessments calculate the maintenance cost for the five landscaped crosswalks at $6,000 annually. No action was taken.
