IV Program A: Local Option Gas Tax Presentation by Ms. Cindy Hall Seminole County, Director of Physical Services CALNO, June 7, 2000 - Page 2 Ms. Hall made her presentation, accompanied with handouts, showing the distribution of the Local Option Gas Tax for the Calendar Year 2001. Ms. Hall stated that at this approximate time period every year, CALNO is presented the distribution that is in accordance with the formula that is set within the lnterlocal Agreement. Ms. Hall added that this information will be forwarded to Tallahassee before July 1, 2000, but that the actual change in the distribution will not take place until January 1,2001. The Chair asked for any questions. Mr. Hagood commented on discussions last year regarding the changing of Seminole County's distribution of 63 .6% and asked whether there was any support for that at County level. He added that he is still concerned about the County receiving 63.6% of the revenue when the majority of the population resides in a City. Ms. Hall stated that the State's formula favored a higher percentage going to the County than the current 63.6%. Mr. Hagood opined that he would prefer to see a more equitable distribution of where and how the monies are spent. A motion to approve the Local Option Gas Tax Distribution for the calendar year 2001 was made by Mr. Hagood and seconded by Mr. Brender. Motion carried unanimously. The agenda was amended to allow the set up of visual aids necessary for Program B. Program C: Seminole Community College, Oviedo Campus Presented by: Suzanne Tesinsky Dean/W orkforce Development Ms. Tesinsky's presentation began with a history of Seminole Community College. She stated that the Oviedo Campus is the first full campus extended away from the main campus, and is on schedule to open in January, 2001. Ms. Tesinsky stated that the Oviedo Campus will not only have a full Associate of Arts degree program, but will also offer fun-type community education courses. The campus will be very "high- tech" but at the same time will be very environmentally sound. The campus will be full service, i.e., food service, full bookstore, and student services. Mr. Brender asked if there would be any students drawn from the main campus to the Oviedo Campus. Ms. Tesinsky stated that their studies conclude that the Main Campus did not draw many students from Oviedo, so the anticipated opening student population of approximately 2800 would come from Oviedo and the surrounding areas. Ms. Tesinsky then invited all members to the ribbon cutting ceremonies on November 14, 2000.
