Home Browse Search

Human Services director takes on all responsibilities of the Health Director and Social Services Director, but may delegate responsibilities to those directors, preferably in writing. The Director's position can be a third person or a joint position. One issue to consider is that Administration, Finance and Human Resources will be responsible for more employees if consolidation occurs. Dr. Crumpton said a consolidated HHS agency will be easier for employees because they will now follow the county's policies instead of the State Human Resource Act. He said it will be easier to follow just one County policy rather than multiple. Chairman Smith asked if the County would do this prior to the budget process. Dr. Crumpton said yes, because then the Board could make it effective July 1, 2023, with the new budget. He believes it would work for the advantage of everyone. The personnel policy should be changed and in place before the consolidation steps are voted on by the Board. Ms. Parrish said that we can present information about the Consolidated Health and Human Services Board to the Board of Health and DSS Board to provide information and to for feedback. Dr. Crumpton said the Board would just need to instruct staff to go through the process and report back to the Board with a more solidified proposal for consideration.

He said he hopes to connect the vision of the land use plan with the tools we use to get there (LIDO). UDO Phase 1 mainly affects the city and high-density areas. UDO Phase 2 concerns multifamily and non-residential areas. Mr. Downey noted that annexation does affect the UDO and land use plan and that it would be better if all three entities (Lee County, City of Sanford and Town of Broadway) work together and agree on what's best for all areas. PlanSanLee is only six years old, but staff is updating it to consider future growth. Mr. Downey said the plan is just a vision, but zoning is what dictates developments. He recommended urban boundaries be agreed upon by the City, County and Broadway. Chairman Smith turned the gavel over to Vice-Chairman Andre Knecht and left at 12:03 p.m. GIS Strategic Services Director Don Kovasckitz illustrated development pressure in the community. He said that each month, we have a TRC meeting where developers will propose new developments or restaurants, etc.
