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 only deficiency in the officers’ firearms requalifications was to be supervised by non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructors.

The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 37, No. 36, of the September 9, 2011, Florida Administrative Weekly. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of subsection 61H1-27.0041(2), F.A.C., entitled “One Year of Work Experience,” which lists the requirements for work experience supervision as the subjection of the applicant, during employment, to oversight, guidance and evaluation by a supervisor who had the right to control and direct the applicant as to the result to be accomplished by the work and also as to the means by which the result was to be accomplished and which requires that one year of work experience shall be held and understood to mean the rendition of services such as are customarily performed by full-time, regularly employed staff employees of a certified public accountant during the normal workweek as required by the employing certified public accountant, commencing after the completion of the educational requirements set forth in subsection 61H1-27.002(3), F.A.C. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held October 7, 2011, in Tampa, Florida.
The Board’s Order, filed on November 22, 2011, granted the petition finding that Petitioner had established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 473.308(4), Florida Statutes, would be met by granting a variance or waiver from subsection 61H1-27.0041(2), F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to her circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

- 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.
