Approves the award of a contract to Aetna Life Insurance Company for Medical Stop Loss coverage. Aetna Life Insurance Company submitted the only proposal to the Request for Proposal and was found to be a responsive and responsible bidder. The contract provides Medical Stop Loss coverage for Lee County and its participating entities beginning January 1, 2022. The initial contract is for one year with three one-year renewal options.

Anticipated savings for the new contract are $276,248 or a reduction of 10.4%. Current contract is employer paid at an annual premium of approximately $2,663,163 or $51.48 per employee per month. The submitted proposal is $2,386,914 annually or $46.14 per employer per month.

Stop Loss Insurance provides protection for the County's self-funded employee benefit plan against catastrophic or unpredictable losses. Aetna assumes liability for losses arising from medical events with costs in excess of $425,000.

Approve the purchase of physical library materials, and services such as cataloging and item processings, from vendors, Ingram and WT Cox for educational and recreational materials and resources including books, magazines and periodicals.

FY20-21 expenditures for these items were $437,084. The price increase for Ingram is due to shifting more funds from our other book vendors to Ingram.  Due to current supply chain issues that all organizations are experiencing, Ingram currently has the stock and availability of resources that we need while other vendors do not.  Expenditures with these vendors fall under Lee County Procurement Ordinance No. 18-22, Section 3.8 which provides exemption from competitive solicitation for these types of purchases; however purchases of $100,000 or more require Board approval. The total expenditure is included in the FY21-22 Budget.

Approve lease agreement which allows The Boca Grande Historical Society, Inc., a non-profit corporation, to operate a historical museum in the county's Teacherage Building at the Boca Grande Community Park. The Board of County Commissioners approved the initial lease agreement January 17, 2006, which will expire December 31, 2021. The term of this lease agreement is for a period of five years ending December 2026, with an option to renew for one additional five year term.  The lease rate is $1 per year.

Authorizes staff to schedule a Public Hearing to consider a resolution adopting revised Lee County Utilities Miscellaneous Service Charges.  These Miscellaneous Service Fees were last modified and Board approved in August 2011.  A “Water and Wastewater Miscellaneous, Wholesale and Connection Fee Study” was performed by Lee County Utilities’ financial rate consultant, Raftelis and issued in September 2020.  The final report recommended fee changes and the creation of several new fees.  The fees will offset increases in the annual consumer price index and help fund future projects such as the Three Oaks Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion, Southeast County Water Reclamation Facility, force main and Gateway expansion projects.
 
The proposed resolution does not include recommendations for monthly water and sewer user rates and therefore, monthly customer billing for services will not be increased by this action. 

This is an annual amount budgeted for FY22. The same amount will be budgeted for FY23 – FY26.

Awards a piggyback lease-purchase of two Vactor 2100i Vacuum Trucks using the Sourcewell Contract with Environmental Products Group, financed through Signature Public Funding Corporation in the total amount of $891,328.17, paid in five annual payments of $178,265.63. The trucks will be used for tasks such as water and sewer pipe cleaning, stoppage removals, and excavations. Funds are budgeted and were approved starting in FY22 and Board approved on September 21, 2021.

Commences committee review of a draft Land Development Code (LDC) revision that adds increased depth within an approved mining footprint to the categories that can be pursued as a limited amendment to existing mine zoning approvals. Section 12-121(j) already allows for limited amendments for dewatering or extension of the mine duration. These limited amendments still undergo a full public hearing process through the Hearing Examiner and the Board of County Commissioners. A depth increase request would require review of an updated traffic impact statement; surface and groundwater modeling; a description of the groundwater/surface water monitoring system; soil boring analysis; a list and map of surrounding property owners; a narrative describing the effect on mine operations and equipment, neighboring uses, on-site and surrounding hydrogeologic conditions, wetlands and watershed protections, wildlife conservation, and transportation routes; and copies of Federal and State permit applications.

Additional amendments that would bring the existing mine into greater compliance with current regulations can also be requested in conjunction with the limited amendment requests. An amendment to the Mine Development Order (MDO) must also be approved before any of the additional activity can commence.

This Public Hearing will allow for the collection of assessments for newly created and/or completed projects:

• Telegraph Creek Bridge Repair CIP MSBU;
• Tropical Point Park Mangrove Pruning O&M MSBU;
• Heritage Farms O&M MSBU;
• Galt Island Ave O&M MSBU;
• Whiskey Creek Channel Dredge CIP MSBU; and
• Bristol Road Paving & Water CIP MSBU.  

Florida Statute § 197.3632, requires a Resolution of Intent prior to Jan. 1, 2022, for the option to use the Uniform Method of Collection for Non-Ad Valorem Special Assessments on the November tax bill.
