for an executive board member position with a $25,000 investment, which was part of the approved
Economic Development Budget, was also approved. The partnership with the Southeast Volusia
Chamber of Commerce and the Southeast Volusia Marketing Initiative got increased funds in the
budget this year that may help with their new website, advertising, brochures or industry sheets.

budget will include the complete renovation of Kennedy Park, a $1,400,000 project including a new
boat ramp, new seawalls on the East and South sides and replacement of the fishing pier and
pavilion. The City has received a $320,000 grant for the boat ramp and a $150,000 grant for
seawalls from FIND. Engineering is being worked on and the City plans to obtain bids for the
project by the end of the year.
b.AR-2018-3718 Scholarship Committee Reinstatement

Ms. Bergeron reminded the Board that last year the Scholarship Committee ended and that it was
time to get scholarship information to the high school for next year's program. She also reported
that about $10,000 was rolled over from last year's Scholarship Fund.
The annual fundraiser for the Scholarship Fund, the Princess Ball, has been scheduled for February
9, 2019. New decorations will be required along with ticket printing. Ms. Bergeron suggested
reinstating the Scholarship Committee in order to stay ahead of deadlines and to be ready when

c.AR-2018-3717 Ecotourism Subcommittee Reinstatement
Paddling Trails Designation Application
State Designated Paddling Trails Guidelines
Florida Trail Town Assessment
Attachments:
Bliss Jamison reminded the board that the Ecotourism Subcommittee's efforts encompassed the
paddling trails, the state designated trails and the Blueway Community designation. Ms. Bergeron
added that the subcommittee previously met with local boaters and representatives from the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection's Greenways and Trails. The next step is to obtain that
designation as a way to put Edgewater on the map with the state parks program. This is in
alignment with the Economic Development strategy. Ms. Bergeron suggested putting the
subcommittee back together to work on the Greenways and Trails designation as well as an
additional designation as a Florida Trail Town.
Chip Selman and Todd Perry volunteered for the Ecotourism Subcommittee and Erik Bon Fleur was
nominated to be appointed in absentia.

Local Scholarships FAQs
What kind of scholarship application do you utilize?
• Most donors of local scholarships use our Standard Scholarship Application. This
application includes questions about grades, extracurricular activities, honors,
awards and post-secondary plans.
• Some donors develop and utilize their own scholarship application.
• Specific information needed for your scholarship can be obtained from the essay
portion of the application.
How is the scholarship publicized to the students?
• All scholarship opportunities are posted on our webpage 30TUwww.nsbhigh.comU30T
• Each year we publish a booklet listing all the local scholarship opportunities. A brief
description of the qualifications is included along with the amount of the scholarship
and the application deadline.
How is the scholarship awarded?
• We schedule our annual Senior Honors Night just before graduation each year.
Donors will be greeted and receive a name tag at the auditorium reception table.
They will then take a seat in the auditorium to relax and enjoy the program. Our
student emcees will call the student to the stage to receive their award. Once on
stage, a power-point presentation will list the scholarship(s) being awarded to that
student along with the name of the donor. A reception will be held immediately after
the award presentation to allow time for the donors to socialize with the student and
their family. A professional photograph of the donor and the recipient will be taken.
How are the funds dispersed?
• Donor will make the check payable to the college/university the student will be
attending, with the student’s name and account number on the memo line, and will
mail it directly to the college/university after Honor’s Night
• Instructions for obtaining funds will be given to the student by the donor
• Some scholarship donors will write a check made payable to the student
Will the scholarship donor be recognized?
• New this year, we will list all the scholarships with a description of the individual donor,
organization or company in a program book to be distributed at Senior Honors Night.

Designation
Program History and Background
The mission of the Florida Greenways and
Trails System is to create a network of
greenways and trails throughout Florida,
connecting one end of the state to the other,
from Key West to Pensacola. The Florida
Greenways and Trails System has its roots in the Florida Canoe Trails System, the
Florida Recreational Trails System, and Florida's public parks, forests, refuges, wildlife
management areas and water management areas. The Florida Greenways and Trails
Designation Program provides for the designation of public lands and waterways and
private lands. The designated system currently consists of a combination of
"grandfathered" designations, which were established prior to May 30, 1998, and recent
designations established under the new program. For designation forms and a list of
currently designated greenways and trails please visit our Designation website,
www.dep.state.fl.us/gwt/designation/.
The purpose of the designation program is to:
Further the purposes, goals, and objectives of the Florida Greenways and Trails
System;
Ensure an inclusive and interconnected system or greenways and trails;
Encourage voluntary partnerships in conservation, development, management and
coordination of the system’s many pieces;
Provide recognition for individual pieces of the system and those partners involved;
Raise public awareness of the conservation and recreation benefits of the system.
Designation Criteria:
1.A designated land or waterway must protect and/or enhance natural, recreational,
cultural or historic resources; and
2.Provide linear open space, a hub or a site; or
3.Promote connectivity between or among conservation lands, communities, parks,
other recreational facilities, cultural sites, or historic sites.

The application process can be initiated by any interested person, organization,
government agency or coalition acting as the sponsor. The most important thing to
remember is that voluntary participation by the landowner is required for designation.
A written form, included in the application packet, expressing a willingness to proceed
with designation, is required from all private and public landowners on whose land
designation is proposed.
Q. What is the process for designation?
1.The project sponsor submits an application for designation to the Office of
Greenways and Trails (OGT). OGT will accept applications for designation
throughout the year.
2.OGT staff will evaluate the application for completeness and to ensure designation
criteria are satisfied and then develop a designation agreement through negotiation
with the landowner(s).
3.OGT will transmit the application and proposed designation agreement to the Florida
Greenways and Trails Council. The Council, which meets four times a year, will
consider the application and the public will be invited to comment on the application.
The Council will recommend approval or disapproval of the designation application
to the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection.
4.The DEP Secretary will consider the recommendation of the Florida Greenways and
Trails Council and public comments prior to making the final determination to
approve a proposed designation agreement. Official designation into the Florida
Greenways and Trails System will become effective through the signing of a
designation agreement by the DEP Secretary, the landowner(s), land managers(s)
and other parties, as appropriate.
5.DEP will monitor the designated components of the system by requiring reports to
document that the natural, recreational, cultural or historic resources identified in the
designation agreement are being maintained. Local, regional, state or federal
agencies can certify that those resources identified in the designation agreement are
being maintained by signing a Resource Certification.
Q. What are the primary incentives for designating a project into the statewide system?
Designation brings public recognition to local and regional greenway and trail
projects.
As resources allow, DEP may enter into management, patrol and protection
agreements, and into leases if so stipulated in the designation agreement. DEP will
also identify sources of funding for management and restoration needs.

Designation into the Florida Greenways and Trails System gives private landowners
liability protection (see "Frequently Asked Questions" for more information).
Designation into the Florida Greenways and Trails System will give lands and
waterways additional consideration in certain public land acquisition and grant
programs, such as the Florida Communities Trust Land Acquisition Program, the
Recreational Trails Grant Program, and the Florida Recreation Development
Assistance Program.
Q. If I designate my private land into the system, do I have to allow public access?
No, designation into the greenways and trails system does not require that the
landowner allow public access. The negotiated designation agreement would outline all
of the terms of the designation. While some lands would be appropriate for public
access, many private lands would be suitable as ecological connectors in the
greenways and trails system.
Q. How do I remove my lands from designation?
At any time, a landowner has a statutory right to remove lands or waterways from
designation by providing the Department with a written request that contains an
adequate description of the lands being removed.
Q. When my private land is designated as part of the statewide system of greenways
and trails, am I expected to keep the land safe for entry or use by others?
No, section 260.0125, Florida Statutes (2000), provides protection for landowners
whose land is designated according to section 260.016(2)(d). You are not expected to
keep designated land safe for entry or use by others, nor are you required to provide
warnings of any hazardous conditions, structures, or activities on the designated land.
Q. Can I be held responsible for injuries to people or property that occur on my private
land, which is designated as a greenway or trail?
No, unless the injury was caused by a willful, deliberate or malicious act by you or your
agent. Section 260.0125(1), F.S., limits your potential liability. You will not be presumed
to extend any assurances that the designated land is safe for any purpose, you will not
incur any duty or care toward those who enter your land, and you will not be responsible
for any injuries to persons or property caused by a person who goes onto the
designated land. These protections apply regardless of whether the person using the
land is an invited guest or a trespasser.

Q. Do the protections described above apply to my land, which is adjacent to the land
designated as a greenway or trail?
Yes, section 260.0125(1), F.S., applies to your adjacent land when it is accessed
through the designated land.
Q. Do these protections apply if I charge a fee for entering and using the land
designated as a greenway or trail?
No, the protections provided by section 260.0125(1), F.S., do not apply if there is a
charge made or usually made for entering or using the land designated as a greenway
or trail, or if any commercial or other activity which brings profit by patronage of the
general public is conducted on any part of the designated land.
Q. Are tax incentives, grants and other financial considerations specific to the
development for management of designated greenways and trails considered a charge
for use of or profit derived from patronage?
No, incentives granted by any unit of government, including those incentives described
above, are not considered a charge for use of or profit derived form patronage. If you
accept these incentives you are still protected from liability by section 260.0125, F.S.
Q. How will the public who uses the designated greenway or trail know that my adjacent
land is private property?
When you agree to make land available for use as a designated greenway or trail, the
Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for posting notices along the
boundary of the trail, which inform the public that the adjacent land is private upon
which unauthorized entry is prohibited and constitutes trespassing.
Q. Do I have any protection if someone does get injured on the designated land or
adjacent land and that person attempts to hold me responsible?
Yes, the designation agreement between yourself and the Department of Environmental
Protection can have a provision providing that the Department will indemnify you for any
injury or damage incurred by a third party arising out of the use of the designated
greenway or trail and any injury or damage incurred by a third party on your lands
adjacent to and accessed through the designated greenway or trail. In addition, you are
covered by section 768.28(9) Florida Statutes, which prohibits those injured from
holding you personally liable for that injury or from filing suit against you unless you
acted “in bad faith or with malicious purposes, or in a manner exhibiting wanton and
willful disregard of human rights, safety or property.” If a complaint is filed against you
personally and alleges that you acted in bad faith or with malicious purpose, or in a
manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety or property, you
Page 4 of 6 26
will be provided with counsel and a defense by the State of Florida so long as no
credible evidence supports the allegation.
Q. What if my property, designated or adjacent, is damaged by someone using the trail
or greenway?
The indemnification clause or the designation agreement can also provide for any
damage to your property, including your adjacent land accessed through the designated
greenway or trail, caused by an act or omission of a third person resulting from any use
of the designated land.

Good Morning,
The Economic Development Practitioners representing all the cities in Volusia County have been working on some ideas
regarding workforce development, business retention and expansion.
If you would like to get involved this might be a great opportunity to work together, inform, educate and solidify Volusia
County as we work together to create value added jobs and skilled workforce in Southeast Volusia County.
Please read below to understand the mission and if you are interested, please contact Robin King directly.
Following through on CareerSourceFV’s Board of Directors’ sector strategies, CareerSourceFV will host industry‐sector
focus groups on 2/22 at 8:00 am. These industries will include:
Healthcare
Retail
Hospitality
Professional and Business
Construction
Manufacturing
The history of this initiative is based upon the survey conducted by the Department of Economic Opportunity,
commissioned by CareerSource Florida on skill gaps and job vacancies conducted about a year ago. CareerSourceFV held
six industry‐sector focus groups throughout June and July of 2018 where we shared the results of this survey.
The meetings were facilitated by members of their respective industry and the information gathered in these meetings
have been shared with the CareerSourceFV board of directors and at an educational forum that included 17 local
educational providers. We are in the process of creating possible solutions to what we heard in the focus groups.
On February 22, 2019, CareerSourceFV is going to reconvene these six groups at the Hard Rock Hotel for an early
morning breakfast meeting to share prototypes of possible solutions to get business buy‐in and commitment. The
individual focus groups will be again facilitated by industry leaders. This will be an on‐going dialogue of businesses,
educational partners and EDOs having open conversations around solutions to our talent development, attraction and
retention. Again, one of the intended consequences being that our business community sees us (workforce, economic
development and education) as a cohesive system that responds to their needs. I invite the practitioners to participate
with us as well as invite some of their businesses to bring their voice to the table.
I would appreciate any EDO who is interested to contact me directly. We will be holding prep meetings starting mid‐
January.
Please let me know if you would like any additional information.
Best,
30
