- That on October 27, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission has issued an order on September 21, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, received a petition for a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., by the Atlantis Police Department on behalf of one officer for the 2008 and 2010 firearms requalification periods. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm under the supervision of a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly Vol. 37, No. 39, September 30, 2011.
The petition supported the requested waiver by stating that the officer at issue is a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor and that he did successfully complete the course of fire, however, he signed his own CJSTC form 86A. Petitioner stated that the officer will suffer a substantial hardship if his certification were rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further stated that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officer did successfully complete the requirement simply because he signed his own CJSTC form 86A for the 2010 reporting cycle.
On October 27, 2011, at its regularly scheduled business agenda meeting held in Ponte Vedra Beach, 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 officer had, in fact, completed the Commission’s course of fire and achieved a passing score. The only deficiency in the officer’s firearms requalifications was that the Petitioner’s officer is a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor and that he signed his own form CJSTC 86A. 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 granted the Petitioner’s waiver.
- That on October 27, 2011, the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission has issued an order.

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 by stating that the officer did successfully complete the course of fire for the 2010 reporting cycle, however, the firearms instructor who supervised the requalification shoot was not CJSTC certified at the time. Petitioner stated that the agency’s officer would suffer a substantial hardship if his certification is rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officer affected by this situation did successfully complete the requirement simply because the instructor had not completed CJSTC firearms instructor certification prior to supervising the firearm requalifications.

The Petitioner demonstrated that the strict application of the Commission’s rules in this case would violate the principles of fairness. The Petitioner’s officer had, in fact, completed the Commission’s course of fire and achieved a passing score.

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.

Petitioner stated that the officer will suffer a substantial hardship if his certification is rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further stated that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officer did successfully complete the requirement simply because his CJSTC form 86A was not signed by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor during the 2006 – 2008 (7/1/06 – 6/30/08) and 2008-2010 (7/1/08 – 6/30/10) reporting cycles.

The petition supported the requested waiver by stating that the officers did successfully complete the course of fire for the 2008 reporting period, however, the firearms instructors who supervised the requalification shoots were not CJSTC certified at the time. Petitioner stated that the agency’s officers will suffer a substantial hardship if their certifications are rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further stated that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officers affected by this situation did successfully complete the requirement simply because their instructors had not completed CJSTC firearms instructor certification prior to supervising the firearm requalifications. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly Vol. 37, No. 35, on September 2, 2011.

The officers involved did complete the requirement of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C. The only deficiency in these officers’ requalification was that the agency cannot locate the officers’ CJSTC 86A forms. The officer who requalified under a non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructor for the 2010 reporting cycle did, in fact, successfully complete his requalification.
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 granted the Petitioner’s waiver.

- of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, which was filed on September 7, 2011, by Valerie Hoelscher Garoutte. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 37, No. 38, of the September 23, 2011, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petitioner was seeking a waiver or variance of paragraph 64B4-3.003(3)(c), F.A.C., entitled, “Examination for Licensure,” which requires for Marriage and Family Therapists that the minimum passing score is the recommended cut-off score provided by the national vendor and established according to the Angoff procedure. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed meeting, held October 13, 2011, in Tampa, Florida.
The Board’s Order, filed on October 26, 2011, denied the petition finding that Petitioner had failed to establish that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance or waiver from paragraph 64B4-3.003(3)(c), F.A.C. The Board further finds that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

- On October 31, 2011, it issued a final order on a petition for variance from Petitioner Hartman & Tyner, Inc., d/b/a Mardi Gras Racetrack & Gaming Center (Mardi Gras), filed June 13, 2011, and advertised in Vol. 37, No. 26, of the Florida Administrative Weekly – DBPR Case No. 2011030307 (VW 2011-203).
The final order denies, as moot, Petitioner’s request for a variance from Rule 61D-14.073, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), as it existed prior to amendment on August 14, 2011, subsection (1) of which required Petitioner monthly to manually read all slot machine meters referenced in subsections 61D-14.042(1), (2), F.A.C., and reconcile those readings with the information in its facility based monitoring system (FBMS). The amendment to Rule 61D-14.073, F.A.C., effective August 14, now permits Petitioner and all Florida licensed slot machine facilities to record just 25% of their slot machine meters each quarter and reconcile them with information in the FBMS. As this is the relief Petitioner requested in its petition for variance, Petitioner’s request is moot and, accordingly, denied.

- FDOT, District Six, is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for the State Road 948/N.W. 36 Street Bridge (Bridge No. 870625) from N.W. 42 Avenue (LeJeune Road) to US 27/SR 25 Okeechobee Road. The primary purpose of this study is to rehabilitate, or replace the bridge and address numerous substandard existing facility conditions. The proposed replacement consists of new construction providing a fixed bridge over the Miami Canal (C-6) with two travel lanes in each direction (eastbound and westbound), and introduce a new westbound auxiliary lane from the S.R. 112 (Airport Expressway) westbound exit ramp to South Royal Poinciana Boulevard. The improvements will provide a sidewalk on the south side and a raised median. The replacement bridge will improve safety and alleviate current congestion.
