That on October 14, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Alachua County Sheriff’s Office on behalf of five officers for the 2006-2008 (7/1/06 – 6/30/08) mandatory firearms requalification reporting cycle and one officer for the 2008-2010 (7/1/2008-6/30/10) mandatory firearms requalification reporting cycle. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years under the supervision of a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule.
The petition supported the requested waiver for the six officers by stating that the six officers did, in fact, complete the mandatory firearms requalification retraining, however, they were supervised by non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructors. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 44, on November 4, 2011.
On December 7, 2011, pursuant to notice, at a special telephonic meeting originating in Tallahassee, Florida, the Commission found that the Petitioner’s situation is unique. The Petitioner demonstrated that the strict application of the Commission’s rules in this case would violate the principles of fairness. The Petitioner’s officers had, in fact, completed the Commission’s course of fire and achieved a passing score. The only deficiency in the officers’ firearms requalifications was to be supervised by non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructors. The Commission found that the purposes of the underlying statute, to ensure that officers receive adequate and timely retraining, will be met by granting this waiver request. The Commission issued an order granting the Petitioner’s waiver.

That on November 4, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Blountstown Police Department on behalf of James E. Godwin for the 2006-2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) reporting period. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supported the requested waiver by stating that the officer at issue shot the mandated course of fire with passing scores for the 2008 reporting cycle. The firearms instructor who supervised the mandatory firearms retraining documented Godwin’s performance on the CJSTC 86A form. The instructor, the agency, and Godwin believed the instructor was a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor at the time. The instructor’s firearms instructor certification had lapsed without anyone becoming aware of it. Petitioner further stated that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officer did successfully complete all of the requirements for the 2008 reporting cycle with the only deficiency being that the instructor who supervised him was inactive at the time of the qualifying shoots.
Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 46, on November 18, 2011.
On December 7, 2011, pursuant to notice, at a special telephonic meeting originating in Tallahassee, Florida, the Commission found that the Petitioner’s situation is unique.

On November 17, 2011, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for subparagraph 61C-1.002(5)(a)2., Florida Administrative Code, from Nauti-Dawgs located in St. Petersburg. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that a mobile food dispensing vehicle be a vehicle that is otherwise movable. They are requesting to mount the mobile food dispensing vehicle on casters rather than an axle.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 37, No. 48 on December 2, 2011. The Order for this Petition was signed on December 8, 2011 and after a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring casters must be maintained in good repair and no additional equipment is to be installed. The unit must report to the commissary each day of operation for support services.

The purpose of the meeting is to update local government officials, affected property owners, tenants, and the public concerning proposed improvements to I-10 from east of S.R. 291 (Davis Highway) to east of S.R. 10A (U.S. 90) and to provide them an opportunity to express their views and comments concerning the status of the design project. Plans showing the proposed improvements will be on display. The meeting will be conducted in an open house format (no formal presentation is scheduled). FDOT representatives will be available to discuss the project, receive comments, answer questions and explain the proposed improvements.
Currently, FDOT proposes to widen I-10 from four to six lanes from east of Davis Highway to east of U.S. 90. Widening along I-10 will occur within the existing right-of-way by reducing the median from 64 feet to 40 feet. This project is approximately 2.74 miles in length and will consist of three 12-foot lanes in each direction, 10-foot paved inside and outside shoulders with rumble strips, and a 40-foot median.
The existing travel lanes and paved shoulders will be resurfaced as a part of this project. The Department is scheduled to accept bids in August 2013, with construction anticipated to begin in winter 2013. Construction duration is anticipated to be three years. Additional right-of-way will be required to construct stormwater ponds and improvements along Scenic Highway.

This workshop is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning noise barriers as part of Financial Project ID Number 209294-9, otherwise known as the Interstate 95/SR 9B Interchange project in Duval County, Florida. The planned segment of SR 9B under consideration would extend from US 1 to I-95 in Duval County. The need for the SR 9B interchange is primarily to provide linkage from SR 9B to I-95 and from I-95 to SR 9A. This linkage is needed to satisfy the traffic demand expected as a result of development and rapid population growth in the southeastern Jacksonville area. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking input to verify support for, or opposition to, the construction of noise barriers within FDOT right-of-way. Primary consideration will be given to the viewpoints of adjacent, affected property owners.
Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status.
