- A Petition for Waiver of subsections 11B-27.002(4), and 11B-35.002(2), (7), F.A.C., was received from Joseph Gagliardi on September 8, 2009. Notice of the Petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 35, No. 38, September 25, 2009. Mr. Gagliardi wished to waive those portions of the rules requiring candidates attending cross-over training to be Commission certified prior to beginning cross-over training or to have passed basic recruit training and have passed the State Officer Certification Examination prior to entry into the cross-over training program. Mr. Gagliardi graduated from the Commission-approved Basic Law Enforcement Recruit Program on July 23, 2009. He entered cross-over Basic Recruit Training for Corrections on July 20, 2009, prior to passing the State Officer Certification Examination (SOCE) for Law Enforcement or graduating from basic recruit training. Mr. Gagliardi passed the SOCE on August 4, 2009, after he had begun cross-over training. The Commission found that Mr. Gagliardi’s situation is not unique, nor did Mr. Gagliardi demonstrate that the strict application of the Commission’s rules in his case would violate the principles of fairness. The Commission did not find that the purposes of the underlying statute, to permit certified or certification- eligible officers in one discipline to become certified in another discipline, would be served by permitting a non-certified person who had not completed one course of criminal justice study to commence cross-over training to become certified in another discipline prior to completing even one course of study. Accordingly, the Commission denied Mr. Gagliardi’s request for a waiver of subsections 11B-27.002(4) and 11B-35.002(2), F.A.C., on October 28, 2009, at its regularly scheduled Business Agenda meeting in Panama City Beach, Florida. Mr. Gagliardi may not complete cross-over training concurrently with completing his basic recruit training.

- The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is seeking a public entity or nonprofit corporation to administer the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) CSBG in Monroe County. Entities interested in contracting with DCA to provide these services should be present at this public meeting in order to be informed of the qualifications and application requirements.
Selection of an entity will be based on the entity’s experience and performance in a broad range of services designed to eliminate poverty and foster self-sufficiency and interested in becoming the CSBG eligibility entity to serve Monroe County. The entity must be willing to meet the requirements of 42 U. S. C. 9901, Section 676 A and Rule 9B-22.011, F.A.C. concerning the structure and operations of the CSBG board. Special consideration will be given to any community action agency or other public or nonprofit entity which has demonstrated effectiveness in providing services consistent with the goals and purposes of CSBG.
The following qualities will be reviewed: (1) the extent to which the past or current program achieved or is achieving CSBG goals in a timely fashion; (2) the quality of work performed by the entity; (3) the number, qualifications, and experience of the staff members of the entity; (4) the ability of the entity to secure volunteers, train participants and public service employment workers; and (5) maintain compliance with administration and financial management requirements.
Only one entity will be funded and that entity must be capable and willing to provide services to all eligible low-income citizens in the geographic service area.
The DCA will review the submitted applications, and make a decision regarding each applicant’s eligibility to provide CSBG and ARRA CSBG services to Monroe County.

- The Florida Department of Transportation will conduct a final public meeting to discuss the concept of a Pilot Project on Interstate 75 between the Georgia State Line and the beginning of the Turnpike at Wildwood. The pilot project is intended to result in a general reduction in the number of non-conforming outdoor advertising billboards in the sensitive scenic areas on the corridor. The pilot will also test a potential change in Federal regulations which currently prohibit modifications to a non-conforming sign. Under the pilot the Department will allow one-time modifications to non-conforming signs in lesser impacted areas when signs are removed from the more sensitive areas. It is anticipated that this pilot will result in a corridor with a much improved visual character, making it more attractive to motorists.; November 20, 2009, 1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.; Florida Department of Transportation, Lake City Maintenance Facility (Santa Fe Conference Room), 710 N.
