The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Mayor Dale reported he received a letter from the Japanese Delegation and circulated it for the
Commission's review.
Mayor Dale distributed information regarding the taxable values this year compared to last year, noting that
the overall value increased approximately $44,000,000. He also said the downtown CRA value increased from 5 million
to 8 million dollars, and the Mall CRA increased a couple million dollars.
Mayor Dale reported Johnell Jackson wrote a letter that was published in the Seminole Herald, complaining
that the City does not do anything in District 2. Mayor Dale stated it is appropriate to educate the Commission and the
public on the projects the City has done and is continuing to do in District 2. City Manager Tony VanDerworp provided to
the Commission a draft itemized list of projects completed in District 2 in the last five years by the City at a cost in excess
of $51,000,000.00 and Mayor Dale discussed City and School Board projects.
Presentation by Teng & Associates regarding the Lake Monroe Seawall Study.
Richard Jarmakowicz, Robert Ivarson, and Gerry Mertsching, consultants with Teng & Associates, were
present to report the condition assessment of the Lake Monroe seawall study.
Mr. Jarmakowicz reported Teng & Associates was contracted to prepare an initial phase or preliminary
condition assessment of the Lake Monroe seawall maintained by the City, from the Cloud Branch Bridge on U.S. Highway
17-92 (between the Police Benevolent Association building and the Wastewater Treatment Plant) to Mellonville Avenue;
approximately 10,000 lineal feet or over two miles including the Marina Island. The following priority areas were
identified: (1) replacement of the seawall at Memorial Park, (2) replace the failed seawall near Cloud Branch Bridge, (3)
recommend that City crews fix twenty-two outfalls, (4) seal most of Seminole Boulevard seawall with jet grout and
strengthen by installation of new tie-back system, and (5) seal the Marina seawall with jet grout. [Mayor Dale left the
meeting briefly and returned.] Mr. Jarmakowicz recommended fencing and a stronger warning be posted at the depression
in Memorial Park until it can be repaired.
Mr. Jarmakowicz said Phase 2 is the design study for preliminary design alternatives for repair of the
seawall as well as the associated costs.
Jay Mar&r, Director of Engineering and Planning emphasized the need to move forward with the seawall
repair in order to provide a solid foundation for the Riverwalk which is scheduled for construction in 2001/02.
After discussion, the Commission concurred to move forward with the repair of the twenty-two stormwater

outfalls and the immediate preparation of a repair schedule. City staff is to verify city, county, and state ownership to
determine the actual location and responsibility for where the seawall begins and ends. Staff is to check the funding
possibilities.
Draft Ordinance for excessive public safety calls.
City Manager VanDerworp reported the need for an Excessive Public Safety' Call Ordinance, due to the
increased number of calls for public safety services. City Manager VanDerworp reported that the cost of Police
operations represents 94.3% of all ad valorem taxes received by the City. Since 1995 the cost of these services has
increased by 3.7% annually. He said the purpose of the ordinance is to deal with the lack of control measures by property
owners to abate nuisances by offsetting the financial constraints and ease the disproportionate burden on taxpayers by
charging property owners for excessive consumption of services based on the number of calls for service per month.
[Mayor Dale briefly left the meeting and retumed.]
Commissioner Lyons stated concern about administration of the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Dale stated concern that the ordinance could be used for spite and reported the need to document the
call for service. Commissioner Williams stated concern for penalizing the property owners for nuisance calls over which
the property owner has no control. [Mayor Dale briefly left the meeting and retumed.] She said there were ordinances
already in place to handle noise, loitering, and prostitution.
Commissioner Lessard said Police protection is a primary responsibility, however, due to the increased
number of repeated nuisance calls, adequate police protection is not provided to the remainder of citizens.
After discussion, the Commission concurred that Staff revise the ordinance for review at a Work Session in
January, 1999.
Introduction of Orlando Sanford Airport Executive Director.
Mayor Dale introduced Victor White, Executive Director of Orlando Sanford Airport. Mayor Dale briefed
the Commission on the airport activity: lost Britannia Airlines to Orlando International Airport because it was offered a
preferential four gate slot; IMG, a consultant firm, was hired to negotiate a deal with TBI on the domestic flights; received
approval from DCA in Tallahassee to build a taxi way and associated lighting with a new general aviation runway to
launch and recover aircraft; and the General Aviation Airport opened today. Mr. White reported the new instrument
landing system is under construction and should be operational by late Spring or early Summer; the move into the new fire
and rescue facility began today; the sheriffs hangar is a few weeks away from completion; Don Knight Boulevard, a new
road into the facilities from the east side of the airport at Beardall Avenue is open; and work is continuing on the sewer
plant site. Mayor Dale said the Class B airspace is in the process of being modified to 1,600 to 2,000 feet and should be in
effect by August. Class B airspace is a more restrictive airspace which separates general aviation operations from large
commercial carrier operations. Additionally, a taxi way extension down to the west side is completed. Funding sources
have been identified for the projects and the permits necessary to proceed with the projects have been acquired. Mayor
Dale said Boyer Singleton has been hired to be the consultant responsible for stormwater master permitting, utility master
planning, and master planning of the airport. Additionally, application will be made within the year for the airport to
become a Development of Regional Impact (DRI). The funding of the projects was made possible because of the loan
approved by the Commission to the Airport Authority. [The Commission took a ten minute recess then reconvened.]

have been discussions and negotiations with Central Florida Regional Hospital and Prudential about keeping the exception
in place regarding city employees. At present there is no deal between the hospital and Prudential to take their exception
with Prudential and keep it on-going in order to be listed and serve city employees. The hospital's contract with
Prudential expires in January 1999, after which it will not be a preferred service provider. The Commission concurred
that the prorider contract be fixed or the city will go with another provider.
