042798 ws/rm min.204 E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 WORK SESSION April 27 98 19-- The City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida met in Work Session on Monday, April 27, 1998, at 3:30 o'clock P.M. in the City Manager's Conference Room, Sanford City Hall, 300 North Park Avenue, Sanford, Florida. Present: Mayor-Commissioner Larry A. Dale Commissioner Whitey Eckstein Commissioner Kerry D. Lyons Commissioner Velma H. Williams City Manager William A. Simmons City Clerk Janet R. Dougherty Absent: Commissioner Brady Lessard City Attorney William L. Colbert The Chairman called the meeting to order. Discussion of future Interstate 4 improvements. Mayor Dale announced that Vicki Smith, Project Manager for Trans4Mation, has requested to reschedule this item to a future agenda. Request from Lake Mary High School for donation to their Project Graduation. Mayor Dale reported he received a request for funds from Lake Mary High School for Project Graduation. They have received funds in the past from various Cities' Police Confiscation Fund and asked that the City provide $300.00. Commissioner Eckstein said that the Commission doesn't provide funds to Seminole High School's Project Graduation. Commissioner Williams said she is planning to ask for Police Confiscation Fund dollars for a project. The Commission concurred m not provide the requested funding. Request from Lake Jessup Groves. Inc./George Wallace to amend the Site 10 Lease. City Manager Simmons reported that George Wallace, President of Lake Jessup Groves, has requested to modify the existing lease for Site 10 as follows: extend the date for planting future phases of citrus trees, to be allowed to sub-lease to a watermelon grower, and to apply a "COLA" increase to the amount paid by the City for maintenance of the unplanted grove areas. Further, Utility Director Paul Moore indicated he had no objections to extending the date for planting the citrus trees on future phases and to sub-leasing to a watermelon grower as long as the amount of reclaimed water usage is equivalent to the citrus and that the added profits are included in the annual audit. Mr. Moore was not in favor of paying additional funds for the maintenance of the unplanted grove areas and recommended going out for bid. City Manager Simmons concurred with Mr. Moore's recommendations. George Wallace appeared and reported that Lake Jessup Groves has invested $250,000.00 in the grove planting project. Ninety acres have been planted, with two additional phases of forty-five acres each to be planted. New planting is supposed to occur in the seventh year. The trees are four and a half years old. Because there were contractor delays, planting was done in August rather than in January, which caused a delay of growth time by a year. Mr. Wallace said the citrus industry' has gone down the tubes, and requested the Commission consider rolling back the required planting of the additional phases for a minimum of two years. Mr. Simmons said he had no objections to rolling back the planting for two years, but advised against a longer period of time, because the City does not receive rent until LJG begins to make money. This item was referred to tonight' s Regular Meeting for decision. [Commissioner Lessard joined the meeting.] E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30P.M. WORK SESSION 205 April 98 City Manager selection process. Mayor Dale asked each member of the Commission to provide their individual selections. The selections were as follows: Commissioner Lessard - Wilkes, Rabun, VanDerworp, Vanderpool Commissioner Lyons - Rabun, Mitchell, Zumwalt, Wilkes Commissioner Eckstein - Zumwalt, Dolive, Steinbrenner, VanDerworp Commissioner Williams - Rabnn, Zumwalt, VanDerworp, Steinbrenner Mayor Dale - VanDerworp, Rabun, Vanderpool, Zumwalt Commissioner Eckstein asked to be allowed to make an argument for Henry Dolive. He stated that he has known Mr. Dolive for many years, that he was born in Orlando and raised in DeLand, has family in the area, and wants to relocate to Florida. He and Mr. Dolive attended high school together and Mr. Dolive was President of the senior class. They also attended the University of Florida together. Mr. Dolive attended Florida State University and was a member of the National Honor Society. Mr. Dolive also attended Stetson University where he received a B.A. in Political Science. He received a Master's Degree and Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Florida. They were in the reserves at the same time during the Vietnam War. He is intelligent and moral. His background is extensive, as is evident in his resume. Commissioner Eckstein asked the Commissioners to compare the resumes of the applicants and consider inviting Mr. Dolive to come for an interview. The Commission agreed to interview Tony VanDerworp, Ron Rabun, James Zamwalt, and Henry Dolive and asked Mr. Simmons to arrange for individual interviews beginning with the afternoon of May 5th and continuing through May 16th, to allow at least one and one half hours with each Commissioner. The City' s expense to interview Mr. Zumwalt and Mr. Dolive should be approximately a thousand dollars each, which includes air fare, hotel, and meals. If Mr. Dolive chooses to fly his own plane, then he would be reimbursed the cost of the airline ticket. Amending the Personnel Rules & Regulations: A. Educational Assistance Program - repayment method. Mr. Simmons said the Personnel Rule regarding educational assistance was written to allow someone who had received an advance to be allowed to pay it back over a period of time. Ordinance 3409 provides for repayment of educational expenses owed at the time of termination from any accrued sick leave or vacation leave cash benefits due the employee at the time of termination. B. Hours worked for overtime calculation. Mr. Simmons said there have been questions raised regarding the applicability of hours worked for overtime calculation, particularly for the Fire, Police, and Utility departments which have watch standers who are given vacation in lieu of holidays. There are anomalies which will have to be sorted. Because Ordinance 3409 pertains to both items A. and B., Mr. Simmons requested it be tabled to allow for refining, rather than have first reading. Possible acquisition of land for a City park. Mr. Simmons reported there had been an unsolicited offer from Sid Vihlen for the City to acquire land located north of the Seminole Herald facility. Because of where it is located, the land could be used for a park. 206 E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 WORK SESSION April 27 19-- 98 Mr. Simmons said that the City owned the property but in the early 80's made a deal to sell to a group of investors who wanted to build an assisted living facility on that site. The deal made allowed the investors to pay an annual payment in lieu of taxes to the City. The payment was made for a few years, and was then disputed by the investors. The City Commission at that time took no action. It was alleged there were sub-surface problems found. A use such as a park could avoid that issue since it would not be necessary to do a significant sub-surface foundation. The land is approximately ten acres and is contiguous to the City's Public Works Complex. The property overlooks the lake. Access could be made to the property from Fulton Street. Commissioner Lyons said he wouldn't mind seeing a park at that location because it would connect with the Riverwalk Project. Mayor Dale said the land, when combined with the Public Works Complex and the PBA building, is a real nice piece of property. With the fact that there is a dispute on the legal situation regarding the property, the City could possibly get a good deal on the land. Commissioner Eckstein said there is an initiative concerning the development of Fort Mellon Park, and the land in question could be used for a park and offered as a compromise to those who are concemed that park space is being taken away. Commissioner Williams said there is a lot of inaccurate information being circulated regarding the development of Fort Mellon Park. The accurate information needs to be supplied to all affected people, all the citizens, and registered voters. Commissioner Lessard said that if the citizens want to have a referendum and can get the necessary signatures and campaign for their issues, then let's do it. However, he said he is confident, based on the people he has spoken with, that if there were a referendum, that seventy to eighty percent would vote in favor of the development of Fort Mellon Park. The general consensus of the Commission was to move forward with preliminary negotiations on the land, and asked Mayor Dale and City Manager Simmons to discuss it with Mr. Feather and Mr. Hickman. Mayor Dale reported Seminole County and MetroPlan will help get out an information paper. The Commission concurred to proceed with an information paper. The Prioritization of CDBG projects. Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, presented copies of Community Development Block Grant Programs: 7th Street Sewer Project, Strawberry Avenue Sewer Project (Seminole County jurisdiction), Oleander Avenue Sidewalk Project, Boys and Girls Club Building Improvements, and Coastline Park Renovation. He said that Seminole County staff will be the advisory body to the Board of County Commissioners and it is necessary to decide the City's position and present it to County staff. The projects for which the City made application total $309,933.00. Because the majority of the projects are in the district of Commissioner Williams, the Commission asked her to prioritize the projects. After discussion, it was decided by the Commission that the projects be listed in the following order: Strawberry Avenue Sewer Project, 7th Street Sewer Project, Oleander Avenue Sidewalk Project, and Boys and Girls Club Building Improvements. Commissioner Willjams reported she did not include the Coastline Park renovation because E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3: 30 P .H. WORK SESSTON 207 April 219 98 the Commission had previously agreed to do the project. If there are any questions raised regarding the Pool Project, the Commission asked Mr. Rowe to report that the City has obligated a half million dollars. COPS grant Mr. Simmons said he is in favor of, and supports the COPS Grant. This grant award is for four (4) new, additional full-time officers, with the City to assume increasing budget responsibility for these four officers over the term of the grant. According to the grant, at year one the City will be paying almost $102,000.00, primarily for start up costs, and the grant will be paying $102,000.00. The City will pay $40,000.00 and the grant will pay $99,000.00 in year two. In year three, the City will pay $47,000.00 and the grant will pay $95,000.00. In year four, the City becomes totally responsible for the cost which would be $140,000.00. Request for extension of PBA Building lease. Mr. Simmons recommended that the lease of the PBA Building be extended for one year, but that no commitment be made for any continuation of the lease beyond May 1, 1999. The original lease with the AMVETS envisioned a two year lease. Mr. Mobley, Commander, Amvets Post # 17, was present and stated that he understood that at any given time, with sufficient notice, the lease could be terminated. After discussion, the Commission decided to grant the extension of the lease for one year, with inclusion of a provision whereby the City can terminate the lease upon sixty days notice. There will be a formal vote at tonight' s Regular Meeting. Request to rename Lake Gem Park in honor of James L. Dunn. Mr. Simmons said the Commission had formerly responded to a request from the family of James L. Dunn to name a City park in honor of him since he was a long standing employee of the City. The original request was for the renaming of Bay Avenue Park, however, the family has now requested renaming Lake Gem Park because Mr. Dunn was fond of that park. After discussion, the Commission agreed to approve the request. Junk vehicle on private property towing ordinance. Mr. Simmons said Ordinance 3410 was prepared to give the City the ability to handle in a more timely fashion, the removal of junk vehicles from public property and to give the City the authority to go on private property to remove unsightly vehicles. The intent is to have the removal of vehicles handled by a towing contractor. Ordinance 3410 is scheduled for first reading at tonight' s Regular Meeting. Revised fence regulations. Mr. Simmons said the Commission had previously discussed the revision of regulations regarding front yard fences and chain link fences. Mayor Dale made reference to a memorandum from Jay Marder, Director of Planning and Development, regarding the proposed revisions to the City's existing chain link fence criteria which prohibits barbed wire and/or chain link fence in the front yard. All fences will be required to be permitted. After discussion, the Commission authorized Mr. Marder to take the proposed revisions to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Implementation of a broader cafeteria plan. Mr. Simmons stated that staff is in favor of a cafeteria plan with a spending account as presented by Mr. Murdock at the Work Session of April 13. It is hopeful that the City will be able to piggy back on Seminole County's 208 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P.M. WORK SESSION April 27 19-- 98 contract with Professional Insurance Corporation; however, the City has been unable to obtain a copy of that contract, after several requests. Mr. Murdock of Professi0nal Insurance Corporation appeared and reported that his company has an employer agreement and there is a signed agreement between Seminole County and P.I.C. Mr. Simmons asked Mr. Murdock to supply a copy of the contract to the City within a few days so it will be available for discussion at the next Commission Work Session. The Mayor recessed the meeting for approximately 16 minutes, then reconvened it. FY1998/99 personnel requests. A summarized list of FY 98/99 departmental personnel requests and reclass/regrade considerations was l submitted from Tim McCauley, Human Resources Director. Mr. Simmons said that the requests will show up in the budget which the Commission will receive in late June, however, he wanted each Department Head who made a request to make comments to the Commission. Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, requested the addition of one Building Inspector, one Plans Examiner, and one Secretary to the Building Division, the addition of three Code Enforcement Inspector positions to the CE Division, and one Community Development Officer to the CD Division. Mr. Rowe noted that on the matrix there was an error in the calculation of the addition of three Code Enforcement Inspector positions; the cost is $95,529 instead of $154,215. Mr. Rowe said the Building Inspector and the Plans Examiner positions could potentially be combined, however, the individual would need to have all of the certifications required for the position. The combination of the two positions could be a Code Compliance Inspector HI position paying $31,958, resulting in a savings of $25,264 which is the difference between the combined salaries of a Building Inspector and a Plans Examiner. Mr. Rowe said that the Community Development Department is experiencing and anticipates a considerable amount of development in the future which will require inspections, thus the request for additional employees. The request for three additional Code Enforcement Inspector positions is an attempt to respond to the request to push code enforcement into the proactive realm, and it is necessary to have additional staff to handle the cases. Because of the potential additional cases, more code enforcement meetings would be needed, more paperwork would be handled, thus the need for an additional secretary position. Commissioner Eckstein requested that Mr. Rowe provide a flow chart showing each position and what their duties are/will be. Commissioner Lyons suggested filling the current position of Building Inspector and add another Building Inspector if necessary, 'and look at one additional Code Enforcement Inspector. Commissioner Eckstein suggested Mr. Rowe reorganize the Community Development Department. Commissioner Williams asked that Mr. Rowe provide a list of positions by priority. Mayor Dale requested that Mr. Rowe work on a flow chart, get with Mr. Simmons, and provide all pertinent information regarding his request for future review, including all budget costs. The Commission requested that in the future, f,~ue'~sfor additional positions and reclassi~cation/regrades include benefit costs and show the current staffing ~. 1~718672 City MINUTES Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P,M. WORK SESSION 209 April 2719 98 Joe Dillard, Chief of Police, requested one Office Assistant and one Police Corporal to the Administration Division, five Police Officer positions to Uniform Division, two Police Officer positions, one Property Custodian/Supply Clerk position, and one Community Service Officer to Investigation Division. ChiefDillard said that the Police Corporal position would be used to apply for and monitor grams, seek additional grants, assist in the administrative duties, assist the Platoon Commander, and be utilized as a back up for a supervisor or Corporal. He said there are several people who are on light duty and additional staff is needed. Commissioner Eckstein asked Mayor Dale, as liaison officer to the Police Department, to speak with Chief Dillard regarding utilizing those persons on light duty to write and monitor grants and assist in training. Mayor Dale suggested that ChiefDillard meet with the City Manager regarding the personnel requests for the police department. City Manager Simmons requested one Deputy City Manager to City Manager's Office, one Safety Coordinator to City Manager/Human Resources office, one Secretary position to City Manager/City Clerk Office, and the reclassification of one Administrative Secretary position to Deputy City Clerk. Mayor Dale said the person utilized as Administrative Secretary to the Mayor and Commission should be reclassified to Administrative Assistant to the City Commission, and said he would like to look into that if there was not a whole lot of difference in the pay between the positions. Commissioner Lessard said Diane wears many hat~ pretty well and works hard. Mayor Dale said she also goes into the field when the Commissioners are not able to do something, as do the County Administrative Assistants. City Manager Simmons reported the City may not have an Administrative Assistant classification, and he will compile information and review it with the Mayor. Mike Kirby, Director of Recreation and Parks, requested two Maintenance Worker I positions, and the regrade of two Pesticide Technician positions from Level 05 to 06 in the Parks/Grounds Maintenance Division. City Manager Simmons said that the regrading is a problem in terms of fitting it into our new pay scale; it will require further review, and he may not make the recommendation, because it would change the fabric of the interrelationship between the pay scales. Jay Marder, Director of Planning and Development, requested one Land Development Inspector position, the reclassi~cation of the position of Director of Plauning & Development to Director of Engineering & Planning (title change only), and the reclassification of the position of Professional Engineer to City Engineer (title change only). Mr. Marder said the Land Development Inspector position was needed for Zoning, to go into the field to do routine inspections currently handled by the Land Development Coordinator, and to handle the tremendous amount of increased paper work generated by the Plans Review Committee. Tom Hickson, Fire Chief, requested one Office Assistant position or one Secretary, and one Fire Protection Inspector to the Administration Division. Mayor Dale said that he would like for the City be proactive in educating the public in fire prevention. Paul Moore, Director of Utilities, requested the reclassification of one Cross Connection Control Technician position to Senior Utility Inspector, the reclassification of one Reclaimed Water Distribution System Foreman position to Utility Inspector, and the reclassification of one Irrigation Mechanic position to Utility Inspector. 210 E718672 City MINUTES 3:30 Commission, Sanford, Florida P.M. WORK SESSION April 2~ 19-- 87 Commissioner Williams said she would like to appeal to the Commission to seriously consider the positions Charles Rowe is requesting because of the good job they have done in code enforcement and because the City wants to be proactive regarding code enforcement.

Further, considerable work has been done as a result of three meetings. He said a letter recently received from Mr. Harrison is an indication of willingness to negotiate a settlement. The City Commission has several options, one of which is to proceed with the follow up of the letter of default, directing the City Attorney to take further action. It may be fruitful for the Commission to authorize an extension to a specific date to allow more time to come to closure to avoid a lawsuit. Mr. Simmons recommended that the date of extension be May 26, which is the Commission' s second meeting in May, for staff and Mr. Daniels and his counsel to arrive at an amicable agreement which can be brought back to the Commission.

REG. MEETING April 219 27 19 98 settlement which is acceptable. As originally posted, the finance director indicates there is an approximate amount of $260,000.00 due to the City. The position taken originally by Mr. Daniels was that there is a credit due of $130,000 for capital improvements, over and above rent due. Mr. Simmons said that assistant City Attorney Reischmann has suggested that the five year statute offimitations according to Florida Statutes would play a significant part. Donna Watt, Finance Director, did another analysis of the apparent amount due based on the last five years and it is approximately $160,000; significantly less than previously calculated. City Manager Simmons doesn't recommend the credit for capital improvements because Seminole County already paid for the required relocation of.greens and tees due to the County's acquisition of a strip along the northern boundary of the golf course. Charles R. Harrison, Attorney 'and Counselor at Law, appeared and reported that it is his position that the money Mr. Daniels uses to make capital improvements on the course are in lieu of rent. However, the purpose for being present at tonight's meeting is to extend to the City the negotiation of a settlement with give and take on both sides. Mr. Harrison requested a thirty day extension to allow time for negotiations with representatives of the City and the City Commission. Commissioner Lyons moved to extend the date to cure the lease default to May 26, and asked Mr. Simmons to report back to the Commission at the next scheduled Commission meeting in two weeks.
