1. SJC Ordinance amending SJC Ordinance 2022-22, 2nd Reading. In September 2023, staff brought a discussion item to the Board for consideration of the County's Local Preference Policy. The Board's direction at that meeting was to get input from the Chamber of Commerce and to bring back recommendations. This item includes the recommended edits to the SJC Purchasing Policy relative to the Local Preference Policy, and other edits necessary due to organizational changes and administrative needs.
2. Public Hearing * Public Hearing on Acquisition of North Beach Utilities, Inc. Water and Wastewater System. At its regular meeting on March 19, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") authorized the Utility Department ("SJCUD") to continue to negotiate the purchase of North Beach Utilities, Inc. (“NBU”), a private water and wastewater utility system within St. Johns County, and to schedule the public hearing required under Section 125.3401, Florida Statutes, on such purchase. The NBU system provides water and wastewater services to approximately 1,400 customers in Vilano Beach. As reflected in the report attached to this agenda item, SJCUD has analyzed existing operational and financial feasibility information to determine that the acquisition meets all County requirements under Resolution 2005- 39, related to the Utility Acquisition Policy, and is in the public interest as required by Section 125.3401. SJCUD requests approval of a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire NBU for $6,025,000 and to adopt NBU's current rates, fees, and charges for this service area upon closing of the acquisition. SJCUD will also present future plans for the Utility upon acquisition, including a recommendation for capital improvement plan ("CIP") projects and to transition the service area to the countywide utility rates in the near future. Finally, SJCUD requests the purchase and related CIP projects be funded through existing Utility reserves but requests adoption of a resolution (attached) that would authorize a financing contingency to evaluate future debt issuance to be presented to the BOCC in the future.
