APPOINTMENT - COMMISSION ON
OFFENDER REVIEW COMMISSIONER
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next on our agenda is the
appointment of a Commissioner for the Commission on
Offender Review. I'd like to thank the Parole
Qualifications Committee for their hard work to
select three excellent candidates for us to
consider. Those three candidates are:
Cynthia Swier, Lori Vancamp, and David Wyant.
I have personally had the opportunity to meet
with each of these candidates, and I think they
would all do an outstanding job. I believe all
three candidates are in the audience today.
First I'd like to recognize Cynthia Swier.
Cynthia, come on up.
Does anybody have any questions for Cynthia?
You've got a great background, by the way.
MS. SWIER: Thank you.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Yeah, and, Governor,
I think we need to just ask a few questions.
Cynthia, thank you. Your resume is amazing,
and thank you for wanting to do this crazy job; and
why do you want to do this?
MS. SWIER: Well, I would say why I want to do

this is simply because I love serving the State of
Florida. I've been a public servant for 20 plus
years, started my career in probation, have worked
in Department of Corrections for 20 years.
And what I've found during that time is that
Corrections is not what I thought it was. It's a
people business. And when I say that, it's you
learn that there are different paths that bring
people to prison, and there are different paths
that bring them back to society.
So in making decisions for the
Parole Commission, I think that I could utilize the
skills that I have in the field for making
decisions for work release and making decisions for
who we put on community work squads. All of those
decisions are made, filtered through public safety
consideration.
And so I think that the main reason I want to
serve on the Commission is because of the
experience I have. I think I could serve well and
be able to continue to lead the Agency forward.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Thank you.
MS. SWIER: You're welcome.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Does anybody else have any
questions?

COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I do.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Talk to us a little bit,
you would, about -- you know, we put a lot of
weight on the recommendations that come from the
Commission and in clemency.
So tell us about the types of things that
you're looking for in making a favorable
recommendation to us in consideration of clemency.
How are you reading that applicant.
MS. SWIER: Well, there are a variety of
things that I would look at. And again, going back
to the screenings that I've done on different
levels, I filter that through: What's the benefit
to the public, and what's the drawback to the
public?
So in reviewing someone for clemency, one of
the things that I would look at is: What was the
nature of the crime? What was the impact on the
victim? What was the impact on the victim's
family? Was it a heinous crime? Was it something
with premeditation or forethought? Was it a crime
of passion, or was it simply an accident, and this
person is never going to reoffend again?
So I would look at those things. Also, I

would look at their history while they're
incarcerated. What kind of offender were they?
Were they prone to being in trouble; and if so and
they're receiving a lot of disciplinary action,
what are those disciplinary actions? I would talk
to the victim, if they were alive; I would talk to
the victim's family and see what their impact is.
And after all of those considerations are
made, again, it falls back to if we grant them
clemency, is that going to benefit society and is
it going to allow them to reintegrate, and would
they be an appropriate candidate based on that; or
would it be a concern that we would have to worry
about future victimization. So those would be
things that I would consider.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: CFO.
CFO ATWATER: Governor, thank you.
You touched on this, and I appreciate the
perspective, of the desire to serve and your
experience. But might you just go a little deeper
in that for me if you wouldn't mind.
On these experiences, which have been quite
relevant to the task at hand that we're discussing
here, what would be the key experiences and

insights from these experiences that will create
the greatest value for your commitment to serve us
in the best possible way in this role.
MS. SWIER: Well, I think that when you work
with a segment of people for a given period of
time, you understand that there are things to
consider and you get a feel for how people behave
and what motivates them to behave in the manner
that they do. And going back to the every path is
not the same for every offender, I think that the
experience that I have has allowed me to be able to
vet through a lot of that.
Not to say that my decisions are 99.9% correct
all the time, but I feel like I have enough
experience in reviewing cases and that I know that
it's not just paper. There's a person and a
victim, and there's family members involved that
are sometimes collateral victims that we need to
look at, because oftentimes you don't see that
until you work with people on a day-to-day basis.
And in the institutional setting, with the
time that I've been there over these last couple of
decades, you really get a feel for that. And I
don't think that's something that you can learn
unless you just live it. That's the best way I can

INTERVIEW OF LORI VANCAMP
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Let's see, next we have
Lori Vancamp.
Good morning, Lori.
Does anybody have any questions for Lori?
Attorney General?
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: I do.
And, Lori, when I said this "crazy job"
earlier, I think you probably understood what I
meant by it; but I see people like Daphne Asbell in
the audience who -- Daphne, thank you -- has worked
as our victims' advocate with the Parole Commission
for how many years, Daphne?
MS. ASBELL: Almost 20.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Twenty, and this job
is really like no other because you're dealing with
offenders. And you've been an investigator, so
you've seen that side of it in your recommendation;
but it's also dealing -- which I've handled many
cases I think probably when you were the
investigator, with the victims' families who have
experienced --
MS. VANCAMP: Yes, that's correct.

having to relive the murder of a loved one 20 years
later, and it's horrible. And emotions run high,
and it's extremely difficult and emotional, and why
would you want this job?
MS. VANCAMP: In regards to the victims, I've
worked with Daphne just about every time they've
come down to the Tampa office to do their voting.
I've really been blessed to learn a lot from Daphne
and the victims.
As I mentioned during one of my interviews,
there was a sexual battery victim that I was
working with, and we stay in a separate room until
the Commissioners are getting ready to vote. And
it was very difficult to deal with her, in all
honesty because -- and hold back my own emotion for
her because she was already upset and crying.
And she had a two-page letter; and in regards
to that two-page letter, she had written it in the
first person. When we went in to speak to the
Commission, I asked her if she wanted me to sit
with her, and she asked that I would. So I sat
next to her, I put my hand on her back trying to
comfort her. And she got through about the first
paragraph before she couldn't speak any further.
After that I asked her if I could read the

letter for her, and it was written in first person,
and she asked that I would because it was important
that the Commissioners heard her words.
And this was a violent sexual rape that she
had suffered, and I had to read this out loud in
the first person. And it was very difficult for me
to hold back my own emotion and not cry because I
was reading it as if it was me. It was I, I,
because this woman had written the letter in first
person. It's something you never forget; you never
forget that.
And as to wanting this position, I've been
with the Commission 20 years. I've really been
blessed to learn so much from the Commissioners,
from all of the staff, the investigative process.
I have scored presumptive parole release dates on
sexual offenders. I have conducted over 10,000
clemency investigations; I've conducted over 5,000
revocation hearings and notices. As a supervisor
I've conducted staff meetings, handled their
performance-based budgeting.
I'm very familiar with the Agency; I love the
Agency. I call it my agency. I believe in what we
do. I know every aspect that we do is important,
whether it be clemency, parole, victims. And I

take all of that seriously.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Thank you.
MS. VANCAMP: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you, Governor.
I'd like to ask the same question. You know,
we see such an array of cases, and we take very
seriously the recommendations from the Commission.
And we see everything from, you know, 40-year-old
drug cases and we've got a 76-year-old offender in
front of us, to more recent -- more violent type of
offenses.
Tell me -- walk us through the filters, the
thought process when you're weighing clemency or a
recommendation for clemency to the Clemency Board
in terms of striking that balance between weighing
the circumstances that led to the crime and the
rights, the thoughts of the victims.
MS. VANCAMP: In regards to clemency, because
there are so many different types of clemency,
whether it be commutation of sentence, full
pardons, restoration of civil rights, I think that
each area has to be handled a little bit separately
and a little differently.
Obviously, with a full pardon and firearm

authority, you want that full report that really
explains everything about that candidate and that
applicant, because the last thing we want to do is
restore a firearm authority to someone who is going
to go out and use that against someone and cause
there to be another victim in this world. And
quite frankly, I think there are already too many
victims.
In regards to restoration of civil rights, I
think they need to show that they deserve it and
that they've earned it. Many times we conduct
investigations where they might not have committed
a recent felony but they're constantly back in the
system being arrested for misdemeanors, criminal
traffic, whether it be domestic violence, criminal
mischief, or sometimes even felonies in which they
just -- adjudication was withheld or the felony
charges were dropped.
I would have to -- when I look and make a
recommendation for a clemency, I want to see that
they deserve it, they earn it, and they really want
it. That's I think very important.
For anything else, I think we really need a
stricter -- we need to stay strict like we are, in
all honesty, when it comes to full pardon with

firearm authority because that's grace. It's not
just, you know, getting that right to vote again.
A full pardon is grace that the Governor and
Cabinet has the authority to issue someone, and
that shouldn't be taken lightly. And I think that
you all have done a wonderful job in showing that
grace.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: CFO.
CFO ATWATER: Yeah, thank you.
Lori, you mentioned again the time and the
experience that you feel personally has enriched
and benefited you. Could you go into just a little
bit more detail on this for me, okay?
The specifics of the experience that have
prepared you to take on this new responsibility,
what about those experiences prepares you for this
role.
MS. VANCAMP: Over the last 20 years, meeting
thousands and thousands of convicted felons, and
speaking with thousands of victims as well, because
as a clemency investigator and supervisor, we not
only speak with the felons, but we also speak with
the victims, so you tend to see both sides of it.
We also talk to the state attorneys, the

judges in order to get their comments. It helps us
to see their perspective as well. They're the ones
who tried these cases, judged these cases; and
their opinions count just as much as the
applicants, the victims; and all the perspective
has to be taken into consideration.
And I think over 20 years I have had the
ability to meet and speak with all these
individuals and help me to make the best decision
possible in having that perspective. I don't have
just a law enforcement perspective, although that
is my background. I do have that law enforcement
perspective coming from the Hillsborough County
Sheriff's Office as a reserve deputy.
So that I do have, but I also can see it from
the victims' side because I've spoken with so many
victims. I can understand the applicants' side
when it comes to clemency.
Going into the prisons, I go into maximum
security prisons and interview inmates for
presumptive parole release dates, for subsequent
interviews or effective interviews, and I see what
they're talking about. But at the same time,
they're the ones who committed the crime that put
them there for life, so that has to be taken into

INTERVIEW OF DAVID WYANT
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next we have David Wyant.
Good morning, David.
MR. WYANT: Good morning, Governor.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Does anyone have any
questions, Attorney General?
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: I do, Governor.
David, first of all, thank you for your
incredible experience in law enforcement with
the -- why are we stuck with Bartow, Bartow PD,
Commissioner? We have a lot of Bartow folks here,
I'm teasing, all the time.
You've done an incredible job, years -- over
20 years of law enforcement experience, and going
up all the way to Deputy Police Chief in Bartow.
MR. WYANT: Yes, ma'am.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: I've seen your work,
I know your work. We do talk about what we do up
here when we sit as the Clemency Board as grace --
the Governor makes a point of that: This is a
court of mercy and grace.
There's something else though that the
Parole Commission does which, gentlemen, I don't
think you've seen over the last 20 odd years I've

appeared in the Parole Commission. And all the
cases, the countless cases, I really -- Daphne, I
don't think I could count the cases I've appeared
on -- but they've all been either violent; violent
criminals; and mostly homicides, some even serial
killers who now, of course, life means life, but
previously it meant the possibility of parole.
So all those folks are coming up before us.
Also some of them are ones where they had received
the death penalty but the death penalty got
reversed. I've seen killers walk out the door. So
this is a very, very important position as a
prosecutor. I know all the sheriffs believe it's
important, all the state attorneys who appear
before you.
And so, you know, I've seen a different side
of it, and I think as you have as well. Could you
explain why you would like to be a
Parole Commissioner?
MR. WYANT: Yes, ma'am. I think with using my
years of law enforcement; the experiences I've
gained during my time; graduation from the FBI
National Academy; studying behavioral science and
interviewing and interrogation and seeking the
truth has prepared me to be a great judge of

character, reviewing the case files; and also using
my experiences having been the one in the living
room with the victims or their families during
these homicides and working with our prosecutors to
get them locked up, I think it prepares me. My
eyes come in wide open, and I can use those
experiences to hopefully join a great team and make
it better.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Thank you.
MR. WYANT: Thank you, ma'am.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you, Governor.
And I want to echo what the Attorney General
said: You've got a unanimous recommendation from
the Parole Qualifications Commission for this
position, and enjoy the endorsement of the chiefs
and Sheriff Judd and FOP and others; but, you know,
the worst day in most people's lives is when the
cops show up.
MR. WYANT: Absolutely.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I mean so you're seeing
people at rock bottom.
MR. WYANT: Right.

you've seen the worst of people, you've worked

multiple homicide scenes and comforted victims in
the same 30-minute window.
MR. WYANT: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So, you know, as I've
asked the others, you know, we've put a lot of
reliance on the recommendations that come before us
in clemency.
Tell me how your background in
law enforcement, both working a complicated case;
undercover in a school, in a neighborhood; seeing
the circumstances that often breed some of the
criminal behaviors that are kind of manifested in a
whole lifetime of things; and the victims' side of
it. Tell us how you weigh those things and the
filters that are running through your mind when
you're interviewing someone to make a
recommendation to us.
MR. WYANT: Well, you're absolutely right,
Commissioner. Unfortunately law enforcement only
gets called when bad things happen. People don't
call us to, you know, offer us things and tell us,
great job. They always love the fire department
regardless of what happens, but the police is
always second best.

our prosecutors and up to the appellate courts,
I've had opportunity to review all kinds of cases.
I think clemency is extremely important. I don't
think it's something that can be looked at
haphazardly. I think the research and the
investigation and the homework has got to be done
on it. I have seen the evils of the world and the
victims -- and our victimization of our
communities.
So I bring those experiences and that thought
process to the Board when reviewing those cases:
What has this person done to better themselves and
are they a betterment to our community since
they've done time? And like I said, it's a tough
question to answer in 30 seconds, but I can assure
you that I will do my homework. I'll only
recommend those that are worthy of your approval.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: CFO.
CFO ATWATER: Thank you, Governor.
David, I think you may have answered where I
was going with both the General's question and the
Commissioner's question, was about tapping into the
life experiences, the roles that you've played that
will provide you unique insights into the

performance of this role.
Is there anything else you would want to add?
I heard in all of those -- each of those answers
some of that, but if there is some more you would
like to touch on, I would appreciate that.
MR. WYANT: Well, just really to add in that
in addition to all of the investigative work I've
done, I've also been a member of our community
oriented policing squad, created the bike patrol
program for the police departments so we're out in
the communities. So community involvement is very
important for my history and my future as well.
And I think this Board does a great job in
outreach, and I think my experience with that will
aid to that as well.
CFO ATWATER: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Thank you, David.
MR. WYANT: Thank you, sir.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So would anybody like to make
a motion?

agree we have three amazing candidates. Thank you

This amendment makes Rule Number 15A-5.011
consistent with our other rules in regard to the
minimum visual standards, and is updating the
minimal acceptable field of vision standard from
140 to 130.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: It's updating it.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So if you're going
from 140 degrees to 130 degrees, does that mean
we have a lower tolerance for vision or a higher
threshold?
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RHODES: Commissioner, from
what I understand, it's taking it and it is
lowering it per se; but it's based on the national
standards and the recommendation of the Medical
Review Board.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Okay.

OFFICE OF FINANCIAL REGULATION
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next I'd like to recognize
Drew Breakspear with the Office of Financial
Regulation.
Good morning.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Good morning,
Governor Scott, CFO Atwater, Attorney General
Bondi, and Commissioner Putnam.
It's a pleasure to come before you today to
talk about some of the great things we're doing at
the Office of Financial Regulation. I want you to
know how much I appreciate the opportunity to
highlight our successes over the past year, discuss
areas where adjustments may be needed, and areas we
plan to address moving forward.
My staff provided you with the trend snapshot
of our performance results. As the Financial
Services Commission suggested at the beginning of
the process, we have included each quarter and the
annual outcomes. During my presentation, I will
take you through the annual report of agency
measures, questions, and talk about my plans for
the Agency moving forward.
I welcome your feedback during the

presentation, so please don't hesitate to stop me
if you have any questions.
In terms of the annual report and agency
measures, we've accomplished a lot in the past
year. We have been monitoring the OFR's
performance measures for the Financial Service
Commission every step of the way. The OFR's
performance measure trends have fluctuated
throughout the year, but the Agency consistently
exceeded expectations, achieving a comprehensive
annual rating of 3.75.
I would like to highlight Measure 5, which is
the average number of days to approve a license.
One of the ways the OFR supports the Governor's
Let's Get to Work initiative is by continuing to be
incredibly efficient, approving a license in an
annual average of five days. This helps the
applicants get to work faster, allows businesses to
grow and hire more people.
The OFR has approved more than 62,000 licenses
since July of 2015. So we're focused on helping
these individuals and businesses get licensed to
work in Florida. The measures with the most
fluctuation throughout the year were Measures 6 and
8; however, I'm happy to report that both of these

32
measures steadily improved during the year with
more focus placed on these areas.
As you can see in Measure 6, which is the
average days to approve a mortgage lender license,
we've increased efficiency and reduced the average
from 54 days to 20 days. This represents a
decrease of more than 60% during the course of the
year. Our final annual average in this area is
32 days.
Measure 8, which is the average days to issue
a deficiency letter to investment advisor
applicants has also steadily decreased from 21 days
to 11 days. This represents a decrease of 8%
during the year. Our final average in the area is
14 days.
I'm very proud of our annual outcomes, and I
believe they're a reflection of the team work,
national focus, and dedication. The remaining
performance measures in the OFR's annual report
were consistently high performing throughout the
year maintaining a top score of five. The
improvements that we achieved are another step
towards increased Agency efficiency, improving
taxpayer value, and helping our applicants achieve
licensure rapidly so that people in business can

get to work quickly.
There are a couple of suggestions I would like
to make regarding our performance measures which
I'll make towards the end of the presentation.
In terms of the subjective leadership
assessment questions, there are several items I've
identified in my subjective leadership assessment
responses that I would like to address today.
These thoughtful questions are important for any
leader to ask themselves, and I appreciate the
opportunity to highlight my responses.
You watched how I define success at the Office
of Financial Regulation. As Commissioner, I
believe the Agency exemplifies success through
smart, efficient, and effective regulation of the
financial services industry, and by protecting
consumers. Success is demonstrated in both
measurable and nonmeasurable ways. A measurable
example includes the efficiency of the Agency's
licensing process, such as the average days to
approve a license.
Swift licensing is a phenomenal success when
you consider comprehensive application evaluation
performed by the OFR. And as I stated earlier, the
fact that the Agency has approved more than

62,000 applications in the fiscal year to date,
this helps our applicants get to work faster and
allows businesses to grow and provide services to
the people of Florida.
We support the outreach efforts of
Commissioner Putnam and CFO Atwater and the
diligent work to raise consumer awareness. The OFR
has similarly issued more than 30 consumer alerts
in the past two years, covering topics of utmost
importance to Floridians.
Example of the OFR's successes include
business-friendly industry outreach and consumer
outreach. We strive to align communications
outreach with relevant efforts and events and
topics and Agency priorities, such as the passage
of the equity crowdfunding legislation, and the
launch of the check-cashing database, as well as
financial literacy.
My responses to the subjective leadership
assessment questions also spotlight the invaluable
services we provide to Floridians. These services
include consumer protection, customer service, and
complaint resolution.
Within the areas of consumer protection, there
is no absolute quantifiable measurement of cost

savings to the consumer. For example, the OFR's
early takedown of an investment fraud or
Ponzi scheme provides an incalculable benefit to
many Floridians who might have otherwise been
harmed by the scheme. Saving one person from
losing their life savings is not necessarily
measurable but is a huge success.
A little noted function at the OFR is our
Bureau of Financial Investigations. When
examinations conducted by divisions or complaints
by consumers raise a potential concern of criminal
or fraudulent activity, the Bureau begins an
investigation.
At any point in time, 200 plus investigations
are underway. Once a case is developed, we have to
convince a prosecutor to take it. In 2014/'15,
31 criminal cases developed by the OFR resulted in
30 defendants being convicted and 20 receiving
prison terms totaling 142 years. We thank our
prosecution partners for their assistance,
including the Attorney General's Office of
Statewide Prosecution.
In the realm of customer service and complaint
resolution, the OFR's prompt, courteous service to
applicants and licensees is priceless. The OFR's

dedicated team performs industry and consumer
outreach on a regular basis, which includes
conversations regarding trends and common
violations derived from examination and application
processes. These important discussions nurture the
relationship with those who regulate, and outreach
activities maintain open lines of communication
with Florida's businesses and professionals.
Within the leadership assessment, I discuss
the short-term and long-term priorities that I have
for the Agency, as well as the ongoing and upcoming
challenges we face. This year the short-term
priorities that I highlighted include the
successful rollout of crowdfunding and the
check-cashing database. In 2015, Florida
legislation was passed creating equity
crowdfunding.
Our efforts regarding crowdfunding are
important because this relatively new fundraising
tool has created a vehicle for small businesses to
raise capital, grow, and create jobs. The OFR has
finalized rulemaking and updated our online
licensing portal to accommodate this program.
The check-cashing database was successfully
launched on September the 3rd, 2015. Florida now

requires licensed check-cashing businesses to enter
into the check-cashing database any check cashed
over $1,000 or a daily aggregated amount of more
than a thousand in checks cashed by a single
person.
The database is providing new intelligence as
we continue to mine the data which will help the
Agency target fraudulent trends and identify
entities that need to be examined immediately
rather than on a normal scheduled basis. This
valuable information will benefit the OFR's
fraud-fighting efforts, as well as partner agencies
in law enforcement.
We have already had great interest from other
agencies. The Financial Crimes Enforcement
Network, FinCEN, from the Federal Government will
receive multiple presentations on the database,
including a Bank Secrecy Act advisory group
presentation review.
Additionally, we partner with CFO Atwater's
Division of Insurance Fraud, which uses the
database as a valuable tool to combat workers'
compensation fraud.
With respect to my long-term priorities, I
look forward to continuing to improve the

efficiency and effectiveness of the Agency as a
whole through initiatives, such as increasing our
preparedness for fluctuations in the financial
services industry and ensuring that OFR has the
skill set necessary to handle the industry's
increasingly robust technology systems and
cyber security issues as they arise.
Additionally, monitoring, merging, and virtual
payment systems is a long-term priority. As the
world continues to transition into an on-line
payment realm, the OFR needs to ensure we keep pace
and address changes to statutes and rules as
needed.
I've continued to champion the Agency's
involvement in the Conference of State Bank
Supervisors Emerging Payments Task Force. Launched
in 2014, this group of nine commissioners,
including Florida, is studying changes in payment
systems, mobile banking, virtual currency, Fintech,
shadow banking, et cetera, to determine the
potential impact on consumer protection, state law,
banks, and nonbank entities that are chartered or
licensed by the State. It is my goal to continue
advancing emerging payments conversation on behalf
of Florida.

As I mentioned in the leadership assessment,
we continue to monitor and measure our progress on
these priority areas and keep each of you apprised
of updates through the Financial Services
Commission quarterly reporting process. A theme
that is consistent throughout my response is the
ongoing challenge to hire, train, and most
importantly, retain highly qualified staff.
It takes an average examiner two to
three years to become proficient in the respective
area the OFR oversees. The Agency is finding it
difficult to retain staff beyond the normal
training timeline. This presents an incredible
challenge as we are in the constant process of
hiring and training new employees.
Our employees work in a highly specialized
area which requires certain technical skill sets,
industry knowledge, and significant training. New
employees cannot walk through the door of our
Agency and review loan portfolios, perform
suitability analyses, understand the mortgage
business, or delve into forensic accounting without
the appropriate on-the-job training.
We need employees that have a unique
combination of critical and analytic expertise,

plus excellent communication skills. We are
seeking employees who can leverage business
knowledge of the financial service industry and
communicate effectively with their peers and OFR
customers. Additionally, we have a minimum
threshold of finance and accounting college degrees
which play a large role in our selection process.
The skill sets gained by employees who work
for the OFR are attractive to both the private
sector and the Federal Government. Salaries in
those sectors pay substantially more than the OFR.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Labor's
2014 statistics reflect the average worker remains
at their employment approximately four and a half
years. Given that we -- it takes two to three to
train, we do not get a lot.
According to recent news reports, the
expectations of those entering the workforce has
changed. Newly hired Millennials will have many
more jobs by the time they are 30 than has been the
historic norm, and job hoping is commonplace.
Research suggests that today's new hires lack some
of the soft skills, such as ability to communicate
effectively and work as a team. These are all
critical components of success at the OFR.

While I understand turnover is not unique to
state government, I strongly believe this new
generation of workers has different expectations,
and I want to be able to address the needs of our
most experienced OFR staff, as well as those who
are new to the Agency.
What we are doing about it, the OFR launched
the first ever employee-engagement survey to learn
more about our employees on the job and the level
of engagement with our managers. We just wrapped
up the survey, and the initial results suggest that
70% of OFR employees who responded to the survey
feel engaged and involved with their managers.
Additionally, we conduct exit interviews to
elicit more information. We believe that the
information collected from the survey will help
informed decisionmaking with regard to additional
employee mentoring and training programs, allowing
us to continue exploring new ways to improve
employee retention.
The OFR is also implementing staff-training
engagement programs to increase our ability to
hire, train, and retain qualified staff. I've
worked with the Agency's leadership team to
allocate additional resources toward training

efforts, including hiring internal, dedicated
trainers that can provide consistent and timely
responses to the Agency's training needs.
The team is developing online training tools
that can be enabled on demand for a given training
topic. One excellent example is development of the
Division of Securities training manual for new
employees, which covers elements needed to be
successful during the first few months on the job.
It is my hope these new tools, along with
on-the-job training, will help facilitate greater
job satisfaction and a shorter timeline to achieve
proficiency.
Moving to plans for the future: At this point
I would like to loop back to the suggestions that I
have for the Agency's performance measures. With
regard to Measure 5, we are currently measuring the
average number of days from receipt of an
application to approval.
As you know, our team communicates with
businesses and individuals to answer questions and
facilitate the application submission process.
This helps us gather information to license them
rather than simply sending a deficiency letter when
we receive an incomplete application.

Occasionally communication can take time,
which can skew the average number of days approval.
I would like to put forward a recommendation to
adjust Measure 5 by looking at the average days
from receipt of a completed application to
approval.
Additionally, Measure 6 should be adjusted for
the same reason; that is, to capture the average
number of days from receipt of a completed mortgage
lender application to approval.
With respect to Measures 5 and 6, I would like
to propose that we change their weight to 5% from
10% and add two new measures to the report. I
would like to recommend we add Measure 9 for
employee engagement and Measure 10 for
customer-service efficiency. Each would have a 5%
weight. I believe we can give you a more complete
snapshot of the Agency performance by adding these
measures.
Looking ahead, I plan to continue carrying out
our mission of smart, efficient, and effective
regulation of Florida's financial services
industry. We will keep doing what we're doing full
speed ahead. You have my commitment to keep you
apprised of developments as information becomes

I'm excited to continue our work for the state
and national levels to influence policy that both
protects consumers and supports economic growth. I
will ensure that we continue to develop and
implement common-sense regulation and keep the
Agency running smoothly, and encourage more
financial businesses and professionals to come to
Florida.
Before I discuss emerging risks, I would like
to collect your final subjective leadership
assessment scores so we can calculate the final
Agency score. So if those are available, could I
come forward and collect them?
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Hold on just for a
second, Drew.
All right. So we've got our scores, comments,
and let's talk about changes for a second. Do
y'all want to talk about changes today, or do you
want to go through it first and --
CFO ATWATER: Yeah, thank you, Governor.
First off, I think I heard the Commissioner's
preferences, and I think the changes to 5 and 6
made sense. But I think it would be valuable if
maybe this was covered with our staffs and we had

really a chance to look at that, along with the
ideas you have for the new 9 and 10 which, again,
have merit I believe. But I'm not sure I'd want to
take them out of the subjective.
So might I just suggest, Governor, that these
be presented through our staffs and that we have a
chance to all work together and bring back our
recommendations?
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is that okay with everybody?
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Yeah, that's fine. I
mean we could do it today, but I'd rather have more
time to go through them.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. So that's -- on the
changes, you're going to talk to our staff, and
then we'll do it at the next Cabinet meeting.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Absolutely, that's
fine.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. So then on the scores,
is everybody ready? Did everybody get their scores
done, you guys?
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: We did.

score? Is that what you're giving, a total score?
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Yeah.
CFO ATWATER: I -- well, I just want to share
it this way.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Just give me --
CFO ATWATER: Well, I felt on the subjective,
Mr. Breakspear, I agree that that is a 3, and so
then I would have done the computation. If I'd got
the computation right, it would come to a 4.35, but
I'm not --
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Yours is 4.35?
CFO ATWATER: Yeah.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Governor. I have a
4.75 on the subjective.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Okay. So we'll
give you -- and our staffs will give you how we did
it, all right?
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Okay.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. So you got our scores.
Now do you want to go through -- does anybody --
before we do any motion to accept the report, does

COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I do, but I don't want
to -- do you want to go first?
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Why don't you start,
Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I would just --
you know, woven throughout your report is certainly
the retention challenge, the recruitment challenge,
and I would -- and this is actually an area where I
dinged you on your report.
I hope that there's a written plan for
retaining more of your folks, and I'd love to hear
more about what you've learned in the exit
interviews about the commonalities of why people
are leaving and then help us understand better what
you're looking for, who that ideal examiner is
coming out of that financial services industry
that's certainly seen a lot of turmoil in previous
years because, you know, I'm assuming it's not
simply a matter of pay. I'm sure that's a factor,
but there are other factors typically at work on
retention issues.
So if you would, let's dig a little deeper on
that. Talk to me about retention issues.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Okay. You know,
retention is -- I think as I mentioned is

multifaceted. First is, you know, unfortunately
when we get our teams out there, in some cases
they're actually working with the federal
counterparts, and we lose some to our federal
counterparts because they pay that much more.
They're doing the same work, in fact, they may
be doing a joint examination and sitting with a
vast difference in pay, and allows our federal
counterparts to look at our people and cherry-pick
the best.
In terms of training and retention, we realize
that making sure people are trained and have the
skills is important to them having a feeling of
self confidence when they're out in the field doing
examinations. So that's something we've
highlighted, and continue to work on, is how do we
build that self confidence, how do we build that
skill set, and how do we focus on it and develop
it.
It's also -- we are compiling the results of
both our survey and our exit interviews, and I'd be
happy to come back and share those with the
Commission if you'd like in the future.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Where do you typically
go to recruit new employees? Are you getting --

are you getting someone who is midway through their
career in banking? I assume you're not pulling
them straight out of school to go be an examiner.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Well, we pull a lot
of them out of school and pull them out with a few
years of experience, and then we have to go through
a training process and develop them. And depending
which division they're in, the training and
development takes shorter or longer.
You know, within our banking area, it really
takes a while to get to the point where somebody
could be comfortable in an examination covering all
of the elements of the CAMELS rating which is used
in the financial area.
Within securities, an investment advisor
versus a broker/dealer are different levels of
experience that are needed there. Within consumer
finance, we have so many different businesses, it
takes a while to train people to be able to go
across all of them.
I don't know if that answered your question,
Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. CFO.
CFO ATWATER: Thank you, Governor.

I think the Commissioner is on to it, we've
got to find a way to improve the longevity. I
think if, I think if -- I think you owe it to us to
sit down and look at -- well, one, I appreciate you
didn't walk to the microphone and say: It's all
about money. Okay, I appreciate that, but there is
a significant portion of this that is about money.
And I think you need to come to us and show us that
discrepancy and how far we are deviating from
what's going on.
You know, we can't keep running a team that's
going to be snatched like yours is being taken,
okay? You know that, and we know that, so we've
got to figure out an answer.
I appreciate you've done the employee surveys,
engaging employees, but I think at some point you
need to bring us the numbers and let us make the
call with you: Are we going to go and ask for some
greater salary, okay?
Obviously the role that they're doing, the
work is too important, and you can't keep training.
So let's have that conversation at some point very
soon, and I'm sure you agree with that.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: I absolutely agree
with that, and I think, you know, at some point

money is a factor unfortunately.
CFO ATWATER: It is, it is. And I don't know
where you're going to get these from unless we
address some of that as well, okay? I mean you
can't hold enough pizza parties, all right?
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: CFO, we're
collecting information from our federal
counterparts. I don't think we're ever going to
get to the point where we compete, but I think if
we can narrow the gap a little, it will help.
CFO ATWATER: I think you've got to consider
a -- you've got to bring to us a serious
conversation about the gap, okay?
The other thing I would say is, again, you
know you're the first person that we've had a
chance to go through the entire four quarters and
to offer a subjective with us in this fashion.
So I want to stay first off, the care that
you've given to creating the narrative is valuable,
and I appreciate the time you put into it, okay?
So I want you to know that.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Thank you.
CFO ATWATER: But I want to talk about the
stakeholder groups, and that is where I really
would like to understand the time that you

personally spend with members of the banking
industry to get direct feedback, the credit unions,
the securities industry, the mortgage industry.
How are you getting the direct feedback?
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: You know, a lot of
it, I rely on my people who are dealing with it
day in and day out in the various industries. I do
go out and meet with groups, and I periodically
talk to individual people within the industry.
But a lot of it is, you know, we have
410,000 licenses out there, and it's an enormous
group. And we have our Division people focused on
interacting with business groups within each of the
areas they work with, and then I talk about it
regularly with them to sort of assimilate what I
can.
CFO ATWATER: What I just would like to
suggest -- and I clearly understand in this
conversation, I represent one of four voices that
you're getting; but, you know, I have the privilege
of licensing over 750,000 people with an
insurance -- license to sell insurance in the
state.
So we have to take advantage of the
associations that they're offering you; and I

think you need, of course, to get the value, the
feedback from your team. But I would ask you to
personally make a greater commitment that you're
going to sit in front of the association leadership
and say: What is it we're doing right? What is it
that we could do better? Where are we adding
value?
Of course, again, I've been through bank
exams. I'm not suggesting, you know, it's a joyful
experience, but I believe there's something that
they would probably have to offer, and the quality
of the experience and the value that we're to be
adding. So that is one place, in hearing your
answer, I would really like you to personally spend
more time with the leadership of the association
membership.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: I will do that.
CFO ATWATER: All right. Governor, that's it
for me.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Attorney General.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: No, thank you,

couple of more things, if I may.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: One is we did the
aggregate score, did the calculation based on the
subjective and the objective measures: 4.48.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Congratulations.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: Thank you.
I just thought it would be useful if I can
take a couple of minutes and talk about future
risks that we're looking at out there. And this
will only take a couple of minutes, but these are
things that could impact us both -- in the short
term.
Number 1, obviously, is fluctuations in the
economy. Shifts in any sector of the economy may
impact our licensees. We monitor economic trends
that affect the financial services industry that is
out there, and that remains the top priority.

Second, employee retention, I think I've
probably talked about that enough.
Third, Federal regulation, the continuing
growth in regulation emanating from Federal
agencies is reinforcing my view, which I expressed
actually in a 2015 opinion piece that I wrote
called: Too Small to Comply. We are seeing the
consolidation in the banking industry as a way to
handle these new Federal regulations.
When I wrote that article in 2015, 55% of the
Dodd-Frank rules and regulations had been written.
That exceeded 20,000 pages of rules and regulations
at that point. For a small bank, that's tough.
Payday lending, the CFPB is expected to issue
some rules in 2016 -- Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau, sorry -- on small dollar lending, and that
could cause significant industry contraction based
on what we've seen to date.
Shadow banking, it's out there. I call these
shadow banking products, such as online mortgages
and bank services, alternative financial services.
These are new and innovative methods of delivering
a broad range of products to consumers. New
statutes and rules may be required.
Our focus is two-fold: Protect consumers; and

second, try not to stifle innovation as we go along
with an overwhelming set of rules and regulations.
Fintech, which is out there, which envisions
service delivery through mobile devices, such as
cell phones, these will be closely integrated.
Again, we'll have to monitor as it goes along.
And then finally, senior protection. We have
an ever-growing senior population susceptible to
financial abuse and scams, and we're committing --
committed to continuing our efforts on this front
to raise awareness of the risks that are out there.
I just thought I would tell you when I look
down the road what I worry about that could come
back and impact us or the industry in a significant
way.
So in closing, I just want to emphasize my
support for the diligent work of the Agency's team.
Thank you very much.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Thank you, Drew.
CFO.
CFO ATWATER: Yeah, Drew, just another minute.
I suspect that some of the shadow banking and
shadow lending is not only a creative providing of
services, it's also a creative avoidance of
regulation. So I hope that you'll be sharing with

us some ideas soon on -- you said some of this may
need some legislative action. I suspect some of it
does, but we can go into that later.
The other issue, your piece on Too Small to
Comply should be required reading for anybody
wanting to run for Federal office. That was well
done.
And then lastly, I just -- I hope that you
might suggest by sending to those who are
continuing to add regulations due to Dodd-Frank
that we have some of the best small lending
statutes and practices in the country, and I sure
hope they don't intend on screwing that up.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: I've reached out,
and my team and I have developed I think good
working relationships with all of the Federal
agencies we deal with. And we're pretty consistent
in telling them, enough is enough, back off; and
Florida has a great system across a wide ranges of
products. So, CFO, thank you very much.
CFO ATWATER: Thank you.
COMMISSIONER BREAKSPEAR: And, yes, I will
come back on shadow banking. I'm concerned,
you know, that it may be a way to avoid regulation.

COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. So I think,
Commissioner, would we want him to come back at
the next meeting to go through, and then we can
have a conversation if he has any suggested
changes?
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Yes. My motion would be
to accept his third quarter report as it is, and
it's excellence performance; and then if he has
recommendations on any adjustments based on,
you know, putting your fingerprints on the Agency,
we would welcome that at the next meeting should
you have any. Maybe you don't; but if you do, I
think you should have the opportunity to make those
recommendations. It's your ship.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: Understood, I
appreciate that. And from what is here -- and
granted, you know, five -- a little over
five weeks, I'm still on the learning curve in
terms of understanding what goes into each of the
measures.
But definitely will be looking into that to
determine whether or not these are the most

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BIEGALSKI: And our third
item is that the Department respectfully requests
approval to file for final adoption amendments to
Rule Chapter 12D-9 and Rule 12D-16.002 related to
property tax oversight.
The proposed rules reflect minor statutory
changes made to the Value Adjustment Board

Let me apologize in advance. I had my tonsils
taken out about a week ago, so if my voice dips in
and out, I'll repeat myself.
So good morning, again. I appreciate the
opportunity to present the Division's 2016
Statewide Emergency Shelter Plan. The 2016
Statewide Emergency Shelter Plan provides a guide
for local and regional planning of new public
school, college, and university facilities that by
statute must meet public shelter design criteria.
The plan quantifies the location and square
footage of existing general population and special
needs public hurricane evacuation shelter space.
The plan also quantifies needed space required over
a five-year period to eliminate the deficit of safe
public hurricane shelter space.
Additionally, just so you're aware, school
districts in regions with deficits are required to
build new facilities to the Public Shelter Design
Criteria.
Florida has made significant strides in
reducing its deficit of safe hurricane shelter
space over the past 16 years. This has been
achieved through a combination of hurricane shelter
surveys, retrofitting of existing schools and

public facilities, and the use of enhanced
hurricane resistant construction for new schools
and public facilities.
Statewide this has created more than
one million spaces. Fifty percent of the spaces
were created through new public schools being
designed and constructed to meet the Department of
Education's Public Shelter Design Criteria, also
known as the Enhanced Hurricane Protection Area.
Eight of our Regional Planning Council regions
can demonstrate that they have sufficient general
public -- general population space. These regions
include: West Florida; Apalachee; north central
Florida; northeast Florida; east central Florida;
Tampa Bay; Treasure Coast; and south Florida.
Thirty-six counties can also demonstrate sufficient
general population space.
For special need shelters, only one region can
currently demonstrate sufficient spaces:
South Florida. All others are shown as a deficit.
Three regions previously recognized as having
sufficient special needs shelter spaces now have
deficits: West Florida; the former Withlacoochee
region; and east central Florida. The deficits are
primarily due to significant increases in

special needs shelter demand. While local
emergency managers were consulted in preparation of
the plan and several recommended higher special
needs shelter demands for 2016, there was not a
commensurate increase in designated shelter space;
therefore, regional deficits resulted.
Florida's population continues to grow, many
of whom do reside in areas vulnerable to the
effects of major hurricanes. Between 2016 and
2021, the vulnerable population of Florida is
projected to increase by over 866,000, with as many
as 8% of the vulnerable population possibly seeking
safety in public shelters.
Though much progress has been achieved, the
Division and our partners will continue to
emphasize the need to eliminate the deficit of
public hurricane shelter space. Regions that
currently have sufficient hurricane shelter space
will need to maintain their inventory.
Over time, current hurricane shelter buildings
may or will be decommissioned due to age,
obsolescence, or abandonment, remodeling or reuse
as incompatible with mass care shelter operations,
removal of deterioration of window protection
measures, and/or other similar items.

There may also be changes in storm hazard maps
or models that we use to model the impact of a
hurricane that could affect their recognition as
public hurricane shelters, thus at least a
maintenance level of shelter space production will
be necessary to avoid falling back into a deficit
situation.
Governor, I now offer this plan for
consideration by you and the Cabinet.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: First, are there any
questions or comments or objections? Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Something you mentioned
at the end, and I'd been wondering about as I was
reading through this, and then you mentioned it,
are there shelters that meet all the standards but
for the fact that the maps changed and, therefore,
took them out of -- off the table as being a
designated shelter?
In other words, when the flood maps changed,
the hazard maps changed, a school or some other
public facility that otherwise was up to code was
suddenly taken off of the list of shelters, has
that happened; and if so, in how many instances?
MR. LORD: Commissioner, that does happen.
Actually it happened in both directions. As

modeling improves, we get better granularity with
where the storm surge impacts, so sometimes a
facility that was in a safe location one year, the
next year, with new modeling, is found to no longer
be in a safe location to use, even though the
shelter -- even though the facility itself was
previously able to withstand the hurricane.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Any other questions?

THE COURT: Is there a motion on the item?
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So move.

Lands Program from Adams Ranch, LLC; and two,
designation of FDACS, Florida Forest Service as the
monitoring agency.

Family Lands Program. The Adams Ranch project is
ranked in Tier 1 of the 2015 acquisition list.
Adams Ranch is a 24,490-acre ranch located
south of Lake Marion in Osceola County. The
property being conserved is a 3,245-acre portion of
the ranch. It encompasses a large area of native
dry prairie, wetland marshes, and additional equal
amounts of improved range lands. It's managed as a
low intensity cow/calf operation with cattle
ranching and sod harvesting. Harvesting of native
plant materials for landscaping, hunting, and
recreational leases are all of the current
agricultural uses and activities on this property.
The property has regular application of
prescribed fire that produces a very healthy
ecosystem and healthy ranch system with benefits to
wildlife, to cattle, to the native groundcover; and
it significantly reduces the threat to fire.
Lee Ann and Lee Adams are in the audience
today from the Adams family, and I'd also like to
have Eric Draper with Audubon Society who would
like to briefly speak on this item and I believe
all three.

MR. DRAPER: Governor and Cabinet, I'll be
brief. I'm going to speak on all of three of the
Rural and Family Lands items here today: The Adams
Ranch item, the Camp Lonesome Ranch, and JB Ranch.
Two of these are in the northern Everglades
area, which is one of our highest priorities in the
organization, trying to preserve the -- conserve
the land up there; and of course, one of the best
ways of doing that is working with the ranchers who
have done such a good job over the years of
maintaining both habitat and economically
productive activity in terms of cattle ranching.
so we'd encourage those two northern Everglades
projects.
The other one, the JB Ranch, is really one of
the most important parcels in eastern
Collier County where the ranching community there
has done such a good job of taking care of the
habit for the Florida panther. So literally,
private land owners are managing the habitat for
the panther, and this is a way, with the JB Ranch
extending the full purchase price for this
conservation easement through the Rural and Family
Lands Program, to go ahead and work with that
family rancher to make sure that that habitat is

land for the State of Florida solves two problems.
Thank you very much. We urge your approval of
all three of these projects.

MR. KARELS: Item Number 2, Camp Lonesome
Range conservation easement, Rural and Family Lands
Protection Program. Request consideration of, one,
an option agreement to acquire a 528-acre perpetual
conservation easement over lands lying within the
Camp Lonesome project of the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services Rural and Family

monitoring agency.
Again, this item is located in Osceola County.
Consideration for an acquisition price of
$1,188,000. This acquisition was negotiated by
FDACS, Florida Forest Service; and if approved,
this will be the 24th perpetual conservation
easement proposed for acquisition, with a total of
18,378 acres preserved under this program.
The Camp Lonesome project is ranked in the
Tier 1 of the 2015 acquisition list. Camp Lonesome
is located in central Osceola County, northeast of
the Florida Turnpike and about 15 miles south of
St. Cloud. It's a 4,630-acre ranch, which is
managed as a cow/calf operation with a focus on
maintaining landscape-sized ecosystem
functionality.
The primary ranch area was successfully
operated by the Irlo Bronson family for over
50 years and is now owned by Carlos Begerra of
Venture Four, LLC. Carlos and Martina Begerra are
in the audience today as well.
This conservation easement consists of
528 acres of natural habitat, including native
flatwoods, palmetto dry prairies, and interspersed
with a large cypress swamp and smaller marshes.

Collier County, which included a million and a half
dollar contribution from the NRCS, so this was a
joint purchase. And it received approval from NRCS
local, NRCS state, NRCS Atlanta, and Washington.
So we're all at the alter.
At closing they changed staff in Washington
and pulled the rug out from under us and decided
that they were not going to contribute. So in the
category of something that's not a scrivener's
error, we are back to inform you that our partner
pulled out, that we still believe it to be a
worthwhile purchase; and the item before you is to
request authorization to conclude this deal, which
will require an additional million and a half
contribution from the State.

have a Federal partner, can we approve these

not, or should we?

DIVISION OF BOND FINANCE
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Next I would like to
recognize Ben Watkins with the Division of
Bond Finance.
DIRECTOR WATKINS: Good morning, Governor,
CFO, Commissioner, and General Bondi.
Item Number 1 is approval of the minutes of
the March 29th meeting.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a motion on the
item?
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: So moved.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Is there a second?
CFO ATWATER: Second.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Any comments or objections?

GOVERNOR SCOTT: Hearing none, the motion

DIRECTOR WATKINS: Item 2A through C are
reports of award on bond sales. 2A is a
competitive sale of 113.3 million of Turnpike
Refunding Bonds. The Bonds were awarded to the low
bidder at a true interest cost rate of 1.98%. That
allowed us to reduce interest rates from 4.11% to
1.98%; generating gross debt service savings of

17.2 million, present value savings of
15.2 million, or 12.1% of the principal amount of
the bonds being refunded.
2B is a report on the competitive sale of
$165.8 million of Right-of-Way Refunding Bonds.
The bonds were awarded to the true bidder at a true
interest cost of 2.40%, which allowed us to reduce
the interest rate on outstanding bonds from 4.83%
to 2.40%. And it's expected to generate gross debt
service savings of 46.3 million, present value
savings of 35.8 million, or 19.6% of the principal
amount of the bonds being refunded.
And lastly, Item 2C is a report on the
competitive sale of $192.1 million of PECO
Refunding Bonds. The bonds were sold at
competitive sale and awarded to the true bidder at
a true interest cost of 2.63%. That allowed us to
reduce current interest rates of 5% to 2.63%. It's
expected to generate gross debt service savings of
55 million, present value savings of 49.9 million,
or 20.5% of the principal amount of the bonds being
refused.
So this to date, Governor and Cabinet, we've
executed 12 refunding transactions in the current
fiscal year with an aggregate principal amount of

$2.6 billion, generating gross debt service savings
of $530 million, or $306 million on a present value
basis.
We continue to enjoy very favorable market
conditions. The monetary policy and interest rate
environment has been -- in the muni space has been
extraordinarily beneficial. We've had 31 weeks of
inflows into the muni space for money to be
invested, coupled with limited supply. So the
dynamic -- the Goldilocks' dynamics continue to be
favorable, so I hope that it holds.
And as long as it does, we'll continue to
aggressively pursue refinancing opportunities,
which is by way of introduction of introducing the
next item, which is resolutions authorizing the
issuance and competitive sale of $540 million in
PECO Refunding Bonds for debt service savings.

Lastly, Governor, is our budget for the

amount that we can conceivably get to in any fiscal
year. So it's up-sized by design, but we only
spend what is absolutely necessary to execute.
And so for next fiscal year, we are budgeting
for 23 transactions, which by number of
transactions is 15% greater than the current --
than is budgeted in the current year.
And so our budget request reflects those
increased transaction costs associated with that of
some $750,000 or 16% increase.
And we've also embedded with it, if we should
be so fortunate to earn it, a separate line item
for incentive comp if we're able to generate
refunding savings for the State.
And with that, present the budget.

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH FLORIDA PRESENTATION
DIRECTOR WATKINS: Lastly, by what has -- an
unfortunate set of circumstances, which is the next
item just for your information. It is a rating
downgrade for the University of North Florida.
Just by way of background so that everybody
has a framework for thinking about this, university
financings require review and approval by the Board
of Governors, all university financings. But they
can be executed by either coming to this Board and
getting authorization from the Governor and the
Cabinet to execute and borrow, or by going to the
university Direct Support Organization, which is a
conduit issuer for the universities. So all don't
come to this Board, but a number of them do.
What we do -- we are required under the
securities laws rule, SEC Rule 15C-212 provide
continuing information to the marketplace on any
bond issue that we execute. So what that means is
the information provided in the offering document
for any particular bond issue has to be updated
once a year. And we perform that function for all
of the credits we manage, both within the state
proper as well as all of the university credits we

execute for housing, parking, student services,
et cetera.
Also embedded within that rule is a
requirement if one of ten events occur, it requires
a notice be filed with Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board regarding that event, and we call
them the 11 deadly sins because they're all bad
events that the market needs notice of. One of
those is a rating downgrade.
So we were not notified of the downgrade.
In fact, we weren't even aware that the University
of North Florida was being surveilled by the rating
agencies, and so the University has debt
outstanding that it issued through its DSO, as well
as debt outstanding issued through the Division of
Bond Finance.
So the rating downgrade triggered a
requirement that we file within ten business days a
notice with the EMMA system, which is like the
EDGAR system for the muni market of the rating
downgrade.
But since we weren't notified by the
University within a sufficient period, within the
ten-business-day requirement, we've been -- we were
late. And that's just a fact that will need to be

C & N REPORTERS TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 850-697-8314

disclosed in every subsequent bond issue that we
execute on behalf of the Board of Governors for the
next five years to notice the marketplace that we
haven't provided the information that we had agreed
to provide under the SEC's rule.
In response to all of that, we've taken
corrective action. We've been managing this as
best we could. The corrective action was in the
form of a letter from Chancellor Criser to the
universities instructing them that any time there's
interaction with the rating agency, we need to be
notified, we as in the Board of Governors' staff.
The Board of Governors needs to be notified
that there's rating agency interaction occurring,
as well as the Division of Bond Finance. So that
we've now learned from an unfortunate experience
how things need to change on a go-forward basis so
at least we're aware of the fact that a university
is being reviewed by the rating agency so that we
are cognizant that there is a potential change in
ratings.
And just by further way of background, the
landscape has changed with respect to the rating
agencies. They are now a regulated entity post
Dodd-Frank, and they've gotten a lot more diligent

in their surveillance, which means that they need a
-- they have to review all of the credits that they
have outstanding annually.
So we can expect an annual review for all
12 universities. I've notified the rating agency
of the change in protocol that requires them to
notify us and work through us and to set up a more
orderly and systematic way for reviewing the
university credits so that we can be actively
involved in that.
So that's sort of the chain of events that has
occurred, and -- but probably more troubling is
substance rather than the notice of downgrade and
the late filing. That's indicative of a deeper
issue, I think, Governor; and that is, we need
better communication, coordination, and
collaboration between the universities and our
office so that we can bring our resources to bear
and effectively manage the State's debt from a
holistic perspective and avoid these situations
going forward, and there wasn't that communication.
We didn't even know that they were being surveilled
from a ratings perspective.
So that's the bigger issue, and that's my take
on it.

GOVERNOR SCOTT: So why would a university go
to the DSO rather than come to the Cabinet,
Governor and Cabinet?
DIRECTOR WATKINS: You know, you'll have to
ask them that, Governor. But presumably it's to
avoid an extra step or -- there are some DSOs,
in fairness, there are some DSOs that I'll call
legitimate DSOs that have a real business
enterprise that preexisted our rewriting of the
laws a decade ago; and that is, an example,
Shands University Hospital, Moffitt Cancer Center.
They have real enterprises, real businesses that
they're running. And the way the institutional
framework is set up, they're delegated that
authority. I would call that a legitimate DSO.
But there had been DSOs set up as conduit
issuers that really had no function except to avoid
the step of coming to the Governor and Cabinet for
review and approval. And as we're all aware,
there's been a change -- also a change in the
landscape because of your policies requiring a more
rigorous scrutiny and justification whenever debt
is used.
And so the deficiency, if there is one that
exists in the current framework, is it doesn't come

to this Board for that review and approval. That
is done -- we are involved in reviewing and
analyzing credits and presenting those to the
Board of Governors, but it doesn't come to you for
your review.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So if a university has a
downgrade, that impacts all their bonds?
DIRECTOR WATKINS: Yes, normally it does.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. And how it will
impact -- so if one university has a downgrade,
does it impact other universities' bond ratings?
DIRECTOR WATKINS: It will not because the
credit analysis is university centric.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: But if Florida is known for
having universities that have a bad credit rating,
that doesn't have an impact on another
university --
DIRECTOR WATKINS: I would say it colors
judgment in the marketplace.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Right.
DIRECTOR WATKINS: Or potentially does. Then
that would be my goal, is not to have that happen.

whenever is needed and necessary.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Does anybody have any
questions for Ben?
CFO ATWATER: Governor.
Ben, when did the use of DSOs begin? How many
universities are utilizing a DSO? How many DSO
fundings have taken place?
DIRECTOR WATKINS: You know, I'll have to come
back to you on that, CFO Atwater. We're doing the
deep dive in that now to give you a sense of order
of magnitude, but I would say it's -- it is the --
you know, gosh, this is going back many years ago,
but it -- I would say half of the university
debt -- this is a rough cut -- probably half of
university debt has been executed through your
DSOs.
CFO ATWATER: Would most --
DIRECTOR WATKINS: And many of the
universities have them, but not all.
CFO ATWATER: Okay.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Commissioner, do
you have questions?

reporting the downgrade color the judgment of --
how does that impact other universities within the
system as they go out there and they now have this
asterisk at the bottom of their bonding papers?
DIRECTOR WATKINS: It potentially creates an
adverse impact, but I believe because of our active
participation in the market and the centralized
debt management function that we play for the
State, then that will be limited and viewed by the
marketplace as a one off.
We've done hundreds of these filings, I mean
that's our job, right? I mean that's one of my
performance metrics is comply with the securities
laws because you don't -- you really don't want to
tread over that line. And we have to file annually
on every credit we file, and we have to maintain --
any time there is a material event, we have to file
on that, too.
So we've filed hundreds of these and had a
perfect score until this unfortunate incident. But
I don't think that that's going to bleed over and
color the judgment of analysts and investors
because of the reputation we've created away from
this, that it will be viewed as an isolated
incident.

COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So Chancellor Criser
responded with a new policy on notifying you
whenever any university is being in conversations
with or being visited by the bonding agencies.
That's the summary of the new policy, right?
DIRECTOR WATKINS: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So had that been in
place, would that have prevented us being late
reporting; or were they there to review
DSO bonding, and then at the last minute threw in
the State-issued debt?
DIRECTOR WATKINS: So it absolutely would fix
the problem on the timing because we would be aware
of, and we've done this -- the rating agencies have
been instructed always to notify us, to let us
know; and whether they've notified us or not, we've
always found out through back channels or echos of
something that was going on and were able to stick
our nose in it; but now that has been formalized in
a way that somebody is dropping the ball if it's
not happening.
In other words, there's -- it's explicitly
required now, and I've put the rating agencies on
notice via the Chancellor's letter about the change
in protocols and in working with them so that we

don't have that issue again.
With respect to the change in the outcome of
the rating analysis, was that the second part of
your question?
(COMMISSIONER PUTNAM NODDED HEAD
AFFIRMATIVELY).
DIRECTOR WATKINS: I can't sit here and say
that, you know, we could have changed the outcome.
It would have given us an opportunity to wade in,
and the throwing in at the last minute is -- and
this is probably -- so I mentioned the evolving
landscape of rating process and the rating agencies
and the way they conduct themselves.
So for example, S&P just in January published
new metrics, new quantitative metrics on how they
were going to evaluate higher ed. So the
university, if they thought that they were just
evaluating one credit, that probably is an
indication of the lack of experience in interacting
with the rating agencies; because when the rating
agencies come, they normally evaluate all credits.
And now we've formalized that and said, you will
evaluate all credits when you make a stop at a
university.
So it's just because of the seat that we sit

in and the flow of deals that we are responsible
for that we can stay concurrent with all changing
environment and requirements of the rating agencies
and what they expect of the issuer community.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: So I walked in today
thinking that we've got two issues as it relates to
this matter: We've got the circumstances that led
to a downgrade. And I know that President Delaney
wants to speak to that, and that's an important
part of the conversation: What caused the
downgrade.
The second issue is the lack of notice of the
downgrade, the email that sat in somebody's inbox
for too long and then got forwarded to the wrong
person where it sat in someone's inbox for too
long, and it means that we've now got this kind
black mark on all of the BOG's future bonding for
the next five years, which it sounds like the
Chancellor has moved swiftly to create a policy to
prevent that from happening in the future.
But you've raised a third issue, which is a
policy call of what the proper role is for DSOs in
issuing bond -- in going directly to the markets
issuing debt rather than working through a central
state agency in the form of Bond Finance.

And in branding, I mean, whether you intended
to or not -- and I think you speak fairly
deliberately -- some as legitimate and the
implication of those which are not, you know, that
raises some pretty serious issues that I think
merit further exploration in terms of who has a --
the expertise, the sophistication, the compliance,
and regulatory abilities to operate in a very
complicated new-world order of the regulation of
finance and debt by public institutions and others,
and those which are, what did you -- conduit
issuers, which raises a different category.
So, you know, I think we've got three things
here: The breakdown that led to notice being made
late; the circumstances of the actual downgrade;
and a very much bigger conversation that I think
that this needs to be the beginning of, certainly
not the end of, between this Board and the Board of
Governors about what the right way forward is from
a policy standpoint.
DIRECTOR WATKINS: I think that's absolutely
accurate. I didn't intend to raise the DSO issue,
but I think it is -- I think the Governor raised
it, not me, but -- so I won't take credit for it.
But it is absolutely front and center, one of the

things that needs to be thought through.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: Thank you.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Any other questions for
Ben Watkins?
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: No, I don't know if
the Chancellor is going to speak. But, Chancellor,
thank you for laying it out and making it crystal
clear.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Thank you, Ben.
DIRECTOR WATKINS: And I believe
President Delaney is here if he'd like to say
something.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Sure.
DIRECTOR WATKINS: I don't mean to foreclose
an opportunity.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Good afternoon.
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Good afternoon, Governor.
Thanks for the invitation, and appreciate all the
hard work that you all do.
Commissioner Putnam, you said
President Delaney may like to speak. I'd actually
prefer not to even be here, but I'm happy to get
there.
Just a couple of clarifications. S&P was
reviewing two DSO bonds and not the State bond. On

the last day, they issued a report that implicated
the State's bond. They did a downgrade to an
A minus, which is pretty consistent with other
universities. In other words, our bonds are
slightly higher than the ones we pulled off the SEC
page.
I've got an article that I'll hand out that
said S&P has done a significant number of
downgrades over the past year, three times as many
downgrades for universities than increases. There
are a couple of reasons: One was the change in the
criteria that Ben mentioned. The other was a
slight, couple hundred enrollment drop over the
last couple of years, which is also a national
trend. We haven't lowered our admission standards,
which is something that the report did compliment.
We disclosed to the SEC the downgrade on the
two UNF bonds. We emailed on the 8th day the SBA.
For some reason, we did not copy Ben Watkins. And
that's our fault for sending it on Day 8, as
opposed to 1.
So when did we know that they were going to
review the State bond? On the day of the report.
When should we have known? We should have known
the day before. They requested some numbers, but

they had indicated -- they had given no indication
that they planned a report on that project.
And when should we have notified? It should
have been done the day that we got the report.
We do not do a lot of debt. The last couple
of projects -- or two of the last projects we've
done with cash. This is a six-year-old issue, and
Ben and the Board of Governors have come up with
some new processes I think that will fix it.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Why did they down -- what
their -- they downgraded you because your --
PRESIDENT DELANEY: New guidelines. It's like
changing, you know, where you do the kickoff from
at a football game, an enrollment drop. They also
went back to the date of the recession and noted
that we still have taken some time to recover
university funding, but they noted positively the
increase in performance-based funding. They
indicated they think that that would be a
turnaround.
So if we get enrollment up in the next couple
of years, with the way the funding is moving, we
think we can get the former score back.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: But your overall revenues
have continued to grow even with fewer students,

right?
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Correct. That's correct.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So then why would you -- if
that's -- if your revenues are growing with fewer
students, wouldn't your cost structure be less?
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Well, some of what -- they
break it out a little bit differently, and they
looked at the operational funding. So they carve
out PO&M, they carve out retirement and health, and
take a look at the baseline funding to fund
operations. It's their analysis.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So even though your overall
revenues are continuing to grow, they said that you
were in a worse financial position?
PRESIDENT DELANEY: I don't know if I'd call
it worse financial position, but it was a concern.
They call it stable, so I think we're turning the
corner.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So what do you have to do to
move back up?
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Add some enrollment -- add
some enrollment and hopefully budgetary increases
to make them more comfortable.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So is their issue your
operating income?

PRESIDENT DELANEY: The issue is their view of
operating income, correct. That was one of their
issues. Enrollment I think is what triggered it.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So is your operating income
growing or going down, overall?
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Growing slightly since the
recession. If you use the baseline of '08, it's
picked up the last few years with performance
funding.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Yeah, because I
think we -- I mean both recurring and performance
funding are growing pretty rapidly. I mean we have
$500 million of performance funding now.
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Correct.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So what would cause -- what
will cause operating income to continue to grow
faster than -- it sounds like operating income must
be growing faster than your revenues are growing --
I mean operating expenses are growing faster than
your revenues are growing.
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Well, we've been cutting.
We have been cutting and using some reserves to
patch the thing together.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So why do you -- do you know
why do you or why do other universities use a DSO

rather than coming to the Cabinet?
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Yeah, my suggestion would
be to get the CFOs from the university. I think
it's just happenstance. It's speed, it's timing.
I will say that the Board of Governors is no
simpler to go through the review. They're pretty
scrupulous as well.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Did anybody else have any
questions?
Commissioner.
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I appreciate you being
here and your thoughts moving forward, and it does
sound like this is the beginning of a conversation
about how to proceed; and we certainly look forward
to your input on that.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: And, Governor, I met
with President Delaney this morning regarding our
concerns, and he assured me it has been fixed going

GOVERNOR SCOTT: Okay. Thanks.
CFO.
CFO ATWATER: Thank you, Governor.
Well, let me just add, Mr. President, that I
appreciated, when we had the conversation, the care
that you've given this, the time that you had spent
trying to do the postmortem on when the
communications began, when people were learning
what they were learning, and with just the kind of
care I expected you to bring to it, so I appreciate
that.
PRESIDENT DELANEY: Thank you.
CFO ATWATER: Governor, I do think -- and the
conversation has been valuable, that I think we
should really take the time to visit with -- and
I'm sure the Chancellor -- the Board of Governors
on the usage of the DSOs.
I -- you know, from Mr. Watkins, and we've
heard from the President of one of our

universities. This idea that someone is supposed
to pick up the phone and call so and so, that the
agencies are supposed to tell us, we can't hold --
we can't assume that they're going to actually do
that.
I mean I think it's time that we bring in a
real consistency to how this is operating. And if
we believe after that assessment that a DSO makes
sense on a specific enterprise, that we make that
clear that that's how we would -- we can see this
operating in the future.
Other than that, there should be one clear
process and one way that we're going to place debt
upon the burden of any institution or on the
taxpayers of Florida.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: Any other questions?
COMMISSIONER PUTNAM: I would just point out,
I have a list of all of the bond ratings from each
of the three rating agencies for the universities,
and they're all variations on A. So I mean I don't
want to besmirch all of the DSOs, but I do think
that this is a helpful start to the conversation
about how we proceed, because post Dodd-Frank, it's
a whole new world out there.
And as the CFO said, the idea of us counting

relying on the wrong person to keep ourselves out

PRESIDENT DELANEY: We should have followed up
when we didn't get a response from the email.
That's on us.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: All right. Thank you,
President Delaney.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI: Thanks, President.
GOVERNOR SCOTT: So, Ben, I think what we --
see if everybody is in agreement on this. What we
would like you to come back with is a -- talk to
the Board of Governors, but come back with a
recommendation about how you think we ought to go
forward and if there are any legislative fixes that
we need to have.
DIRECTOR WATKINS: Okay.

everybody, we'll do that at the next Cabinet
