WORK SESSION December 13 19 99 The City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida met in Work Session on Monday, December 13, 1999, at 3:30 P.M. in the City Manage~'s Conference Room, Sanford City Hall, 300 North Park Avenue, Sanford, Florida. Present: Mayor-Commissioner Larry A. Dale Commissioner Whitey Eckstein Commissioner Velma H. Williams Commissioner Brady Lessard Commissioner A. A. McClanahan City Manager Anthony vanDerworp City Clerk Janet R. Dougherty Absent: City Attorney William L. Colbert The Chairman called the meeting to order. Presentation regarding the general status of Sanford Airport. Victor White, Executive Director, Sanford Airport Authority and Larry Gouldthorpe, President and Managing Director of Orlando Sanford International and Orlando Sanford Domestic were present to provide a general ,update on Orlando Sanford Airport, with special emphasis on the Orlando Sanford Domestic, Inc. Management Agreement and the Domestic Terminal Expansion Program. Mr. White reported that PanAm services were introduced at the Airport on October 17, 1999, with flights twice a day to Portsmouth, New Hampshire which serves the Boston, Massachusetts market, and began flights to Chicago last month, both of which have been fairly successful. A full scale marketing and advertising campaign is forthcoming which will increase passenger capability. He said he is working closely with the President of PanAm and his marketing staff to acquire additional routes, including non-stop flights to Atlanta, Georgia. PanAm has purchased a few Jet Stream 19-seat aircrafts, and a commuter airline operation is being considered, both for feeding in passengers from other flights and for international flights from the UK. The possible markets for commuter flights are OSI to Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdaie, and Key West. Mr. White said a contract between the Orlando Sanford Airport and TBI, a subsidiary of Orlando-Sanford Domestic, has been approved, and TBI will partner in the management, marketing, and operation of the Domestic Airline Terminal Facilities. TBI has been managing the intemational terminal for the last three and a half years. TBI is an equity partner and has made a substantial financial investment in the facility, approximately one third of the cost of the 25 million dollar project to expand the domestic terminal. The expansion project includes a building which will follow through with the same basic scheme of the international terminal and will have a two-story open space ticketing lobby for domestic passengers. The baggage claim will be reloeated to allow better access, and escalators will be centrally located to allow access to a seven gate concourse. The seven gates will have second level boarding capabilities which will have loading bridges, one which will have a new style loading bridge that will go down low enough to accommodate the commuter and regional type aircraft. The seventh gate will have the capability of adding another loading bridge. The eight thousand square foot concourse area will include concession space which will be operated by Jerry's Catering. There will also be retail operations. Mr. White said that in joint venture with the Airport, TBI and OSD will provide 7.5 million dollars of the 25 million dollar terminal project in exchange for the consideration to buy into the thirty year Management Agreement. The Management Agreement provides that the 7.5 million dollars will be provided up from and that $500,000. will be paid per year for the first five years, after which a minimum annual guarantee of $500,000. for three years, a minimum of $400,000. the fourth year, and a minimum of $350,000. the fifth year will be paid, and the sixth year through the thirtieth year a minimum guarantee of $250,000. will be paid. Projections from the financial and business planning standpoint are that gross revenues from the E718672 ~ .... MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P.M. WORK SESSION December domestic terminal will be such that a percentage of gross revenue commission paid to the Airport Commission, by the fifth year, should exceed what would have been receivej through the minimum guaranteed mount. OSD will maintain the terminal building and pay the utilities and insurance premiums. Parking revenues will be included in gross terminal revenue, of which the Airport Authority will receive a percentage. Mr. White said a construction management firm whose expertise is in the design and development of program management will handle the financial aspect of the project and will report directly to him. A new finance director has been hired who has experience in large scale construction projects, and the accounting system has been revamped and computerized. Mr. Gouldthorpe reported that TBI, whose parent company is based in London, is a private company which specializes in airport management privatization. Orlando Sanford Domestic (OSD) will operate the domestic terminal project. Orlando Sanford International (OSI) manages the international facilities. The Odando-Sanford Airport served 1.2 million passengers in 1998. The O~ando market has 30 million passengers, of which 3 million are international. The demographics'in Seminole and Orange Counties show the demand for air travel from a tourism and business standpoint. Marketing will be targeted to appeal to cost conscious domestic aidines. Mayor Dale said that a $1 per passenger facility charge has been enacted to provide dollars for capital improvements. Police Department reorganization. Police Chief Brlan Tooley gave an update regarding Police Department initiatives and departmental reorganization. He reported the Community Service Areas have been realigned to an east-west configuration to even the work load, and the officers work in the CSA to which they are assigned. He distributed a map of the CSA's that shows which officer is assigned to a specific area. The problematic areas have been assigned a primary and a secondary officer. He said the transfer of the Communications Center to the Sheriffs's Office has been successful. Chief Tooley said the Written Direetives System is being re-written and should be completed by the first quarter of 2000; this should help with acquiring State accreditation. He said the Police Department reorganization chart mirrors, to some extent, the PAS recommendation to break the department into two halves: a Primary Operations Division and a Support Services Division, with each having its own Captain. Mayor Dale requested that the organizational chart reflect the chain of command to be City Manager, City Commission, citizens, Chief of Police, etc. Commissioner Eckstein said he would like to see a Captain or Lieutenant on duty at night. City Manager VanDerworp said he would review staffing the Police Department to provide a leadership position on duty at night. Chief Tooley reported the Police Department has a web site address ofwww. sanfordpolice.org and said there is an on-line e-mail form for citizens to use to assist the Police Department in fighting crime. Chief Tooley said there has been fleet improvements made and old decals have been removed. Operation 'T~nock Knock" will be used for Community Service Officers to visit citizens door to door to introduce themselves and to give a bag containing crime prevention tips and information about the Police Department and the City. ChiefTooley said the mobile communication terminals include thirty computers which are being programmed with appropriate sox°avare, and officers will undergo fourteen hours of Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) training to learn to utilize the so~ware. The officers will be able to write reports which cillti, e elegy transmitted to the Records Division, run teletype checks, persons cheeks, run tag numbers, P~;e~%.~ The computers sttbuld be in service after the first of the year. Chief Tooley said the bicycle patrols are being utilize~,~,llftro[ when and where appropriate. He said the Police Department will address the Y2K situation by eanceling all leaves and doubling patrol beginning at noon on New Year's Eve and continuing 205 x3 19 9___~9 206 E718672 I MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P.M. WORK SESSION December 13 19 99 through the morning of January 2, after which there will be full staffing, and on Monday morning at 6:00 A.M., January 3, there will be heavy staffing to handle whatever problems may arise through the opening of businesses and banks. He is working with Seminole County to decide how operations will work if radios fail to work. City Manager VanDerworp said the Fire Department will have all personnel available and each Fire Department will have a radio. Annual tinaudited Financial Report. Donna Watt, Finance Director, reported that year-end closing for September 30, 1999 has been completed and a draft audit will be available in January and will be presented to the Commission at the first meeting in February. She said the General Fund operating revenues exceeded the annual estimates by 7.4%. Franchise fees and utility taxes exceeded the annual estimate by $245,984. (4.1%). Licenses and permits exceeded the annual estimate by $176,695. (26.22%), the excess being development related. State Shared Revenues exceeded the annual estimate by $282,168. (6.67%) due mostly to increases in the half cent sales tax. Interest earnings exceeded the annual estimate by $161,338. (38.3%) due to increased cash available and slightly increasing interest rates. General Fund expenditures were under the annual budget by $2,944,131. (13.58%). All department expenditures were under budget with the exception of the City Attorney. Certain projects were in progress at the end of the fiscal year and were rolled forward to the current year in the mount of approximately $1.9 million. General Fund reserves increased by $2,607,624. from General Fund operations. From this amount the roll forward of $1,548,579. will be deducted in the current year. The Solid Waste Fund was closed out and the balance of funds transferred to the General Fund as residual equity totaled $1,624,362. Reserved fund balances at September 30 totaled $937,992. for various financial responsibilities, the largest of which is the estimated landfill closure costs of $632,871. The unreserved fund balance at September 30 totaled $10,812,913. The total of expenditures of the current year committed from unreserved fund balance is $2,301,319. Stormwater operating revenues exceeded the annual estimate by $69,354. ( 4.63 % ). Expenditures appear to have exceeded the annual budget, however, the loan for stormwater projects of $3,653,000. distorts the financial report due to proper recording versus budget presentation. The loan of $3,653,000. was closed in November 1998 and payments began in March 1999. Two interest payments were made during the year and a principal payment of $116,299. was made. Approximately $2.1 million of the loan funds are available for the Mill Creek project. Utility Fund revenues exceeded the annual estimate by $453,903. (4.76%). Operating expenditures were under budget by $2,319,889. (22.23%), however, $1.1 million was rolled forward for incomplete projects at September 30. Debt service principal and irtterest payments of $1,992,315. were made during the year that are not reflected in the operating expenditures. An additional $1,107,887. in debt service payments was paid from water and sewer impact fees (total debt service $3,100,205.). Water and sewer impact fees increased due to permitting of additional system users within the service area. Water impact fees collected totaled $566,267. and sewer impact fees collected totaled $1,325,805. The Law Enforcement Trust Fund ba!gtC, e available at September 30 is $266,741. Approximately $121,000. has been budgeted for SRO' s for the current year. Local .Option Gas Tax revenues for the year were up from prior years due to an increase in the allocation percentage. Several major road projects were completed at a cost of approximately $1,174,000. As opposed to prior years, the expenditures exceeded the revenue for the year. Recreation, Fire, and Police Impact Fees saw significant increases over prior years as a direct result of permitting new development. Ms. Watt said the EMS transport fee billing began in July 1997 through RES. During the period of July 1997 through September 30 1998 there were 2,657 trips, with possible revenue of $743,000., however, revenue collected during the E718672 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P.M. WORK SESSION December 207 13 19 99 1998 fiscal year reflects $269,600. (36%). Because receivables are delayed, some of the revenue reflects in the next fiscal year. The claims billed by RES reflect 732 insace (27.7%) of which 59% was collected, 734 Medicare (27.7%) of which 57% was collected, 382 Medicaid (10.6%) of which 28.7% was collected, self pay (30%) of which 3.8% was collected, and 114 were classified as other. Medical Claims Processors began billing for EMS transport services in December 1998. During the period of October 1, 1998 through September 30, 1999 Medical Claims Processors actually billed 2000 claims and fees collected were 43.5%, part of which reflects delayed receivables. Of the billed claims, 31.1% were insurance. Medicare is down from prior period, Medicaid is down about 2.5%, self pay is up 3%, and the Other category is down. Revenue from Medicaid is only at 16.4% but should run 60%, however, only 55% of what is billed to Medicaid can be collected. Medicare has made changes in who processes their paper work so there is some delay in getting claims processed, however, a lump sum payment should be received from Medicare. Ms. Watt said that when the Solid Waste Fund was closed at the end of the year, everything was transferred to General Fund, including actual cash of $633,000. for the landfill closure, $750,000. in cash, and $490,000. in accounts receivable which would have been billed in September and received in October. Ms. Watt said the City is in very good shape riseally. Ms. Watt said there is almost $8.5 million in undesignated reserves in the General Fund. There has been discussion in the last few years to maintain at least 6% of the operating budget as a reserve which would not be touched, so there would still be about $4.5 million in available reserves as of September 30, 1999. The Commission discussed using reserve funds to pay off debt and concurred to discuss it further at the Meeting of January 24, 2000. Boys &Girls Club lease. Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, distributed a draft Lease Agreement between the City of Sanford and the Boys & Gifts Club of Central Horida, Inc., which was reviewed by the City Attorney. [Mayor Dale briefly left the meeting and remrned.][Commissioner Eckstein briefly left the meeting and returned.] Mr. Rowe said there have been several meetings between the City Manager, Commissioner William_s, and members of the Boys & Girls Club Advisory Board, Mr. Cain and Mr. Turner, regarding the lease. The items in the draft lease which are underlined and italicized are the new items. The changes reflected in the draft lease include the addition of an Indemnity Clause, the omission of the clause which pays the Boys & Girls Club $500 per month for general support, the addition of requiting quarterly reports, an addition to the leadership clause, an addition to the charges clause regarding scholarship assistance, the paragraph regarding community rentals was revamped to include uses which must be pre-approved in writing by the Lessor, and insurance coverage requirement by the lessee. CommiSsioner W'dliarns expressed concern regarding the supervision of children at the facility in the evening and asked if police protection would be provided when there are more than two hundred people in attendance at a function. Mr. Tumer said they are governed by HRS and the ratio is one adult per twenty children. Mr. Cain said the community renters would be responsible for supervising children participating in their private use. City Manager VanDerworp said the issue could be addressed during the pre-approval use for community rental. Mr. Cain said the draft lease would have to be reviewed by their attorney, specifically the portion regarding indemnification and insurance requirements for outside use. The City Manager said he and Mr. Rowe would meet with Mr. Cain and Mr. Turner between the Work Session and Regular Meeting to discuss any concem regarding the lease. City Manager V~rworp said the lease would be pulled from tonight's Meeting and will be discussed further at the next Meeting. 208 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 3:30 P.M. WORK SESSION December 13 99 Seminole High School sign. City Manager VanDerworp reported the cost of the billboard sign for Seminole High School is $11,022., not including the cost to be absorbed by the City for electrical hook up and a sidewalk, and that Commission approval would be needed to approve a waiver for the setback from 251h Street and Ridgewood Avenue. Commissioner Eckstein said the City should not absorb the cost for the sign and the school should have to pay its part. Additionally, he said the City Manager should be discussing the issue only with Mr. Haggerty. The Commission concurred that Mayor Dale contact Mr. Haggerty, on behalf of the Commission, to request that only Mr. Haggerry deal with the City Manager on this project. City Manager VanDerworp said that he would discuss with Mr. Haggerty a participation level of 50% by Seminole High School. The Commission briefly discussed the proposed entrance to Seminole High School from Airport Boulevard, and concurred to discuss it further at the Meeting of December 27, 1999. Legislative Program. City Manager VanDerworp reported the projects described in the Legislative Priority Projects Report represent important economic, transportation, and environmental needs of the City of Sanford and the Central Florida region, including 1.) Lake Monroe Seawall, 2.) Control of nuisance ehironomidae (blind mosquitoes) in Lake Monroe, 3.) Historic Sanford Memorial Baseball Stadium renovation, and 4.) Elimination of sales tax for use of public facilities. Due to the scope and costs of the projects, Federal and State resources are needed to supplement local funds. He said he has been in touch with the City's lobbyist who is working with the agencies to get seawall money and has asked him to brief the Commission in January or early February regarding progress made in being included in agency budgets. Board appointments. Janet Dougherty, City Clerk, reported the Historic Preservation Board has a vacancy due to the resignation of Ms. Siea Nacu. The Nuisance Abatement Board has a vacancy due to the resignation of Sue Walther. The Sanford Community Redevelopment Agency has two terms expiring: Larry Strickler and Tom Ball. Larry Strickler is a City Commission appointment; Seminole County requests reappointment of Tom Ball. The Waterfront Master Plan Steering Committee has a vacancy due to the resignation of Kay Bartholomew. Regular Agenda items. Add-on items, and other items. City Manager VanDerworp reported that item C-6 includes approval of the Deputy City Manager position description which requires a Masters Degree and seven years experience. The Civil Service Board recommended a Bachelors Degree and five years experience, because the City Manager's position requires the same level of education and experience. The City Manager recommended the position description be approved as he had submitted it and that the City Manager's position description be rewritten to reflect a higher level of education and experience. The Commission concurred. City Manager VanDerworp reported there is an Add-on item regarding the City's purchase of C. B. Franklin's lot at the comer of W. 13th Street and Oleander Avenue for the appraised value of $7,000., and compensation in the amount of $1,000. to resolve the problem of the encroachment of a lateral drainage ditch and street paving onto his property.

Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, reported the statistics relating to the LIHEAP program for the current contract reflect that of the 1,244 clients given assistance, 689 (55%) were City of Sanford residents. On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner MeClanahan moved to approve execution of the agreement for FY 2000-01 LIHEAP. Seconded by Commissioner Williams. Mayor Dale said he would vote against it and reaffirmed that the County should be administering their own program, regardless of the percentage of City residents who receive benefit, and that it should not tie up City Staff' s time; and that Staff was to have asked the County to administer the program. Mr. Rowe said that several years ago the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) approached the County and asked them to administer the program, however, they chose not to, and the City of Sanford agreed to administer the program. He said the DCA has requested that the agreement be executed as soon as possible due to difficulty in securing adequate state budget authority after January 1, 2000. The contract is normally executed by the City in March as the contract period is April 1 to March 31. If the contract is not executed prior to January 1, 2000, before our contract would begin, there would be a three month lapse in LIHEAP funding from the end of the current contract. This would result in a delay of LIHEAP services to eligible citizens as well as a shortfall in funding for Community Development staff salaries. The new contract will provide for 100% of the Outreach Specialist' s salary and 40% of the Contract Coordinator's salary. Mayor Dale requested Staff ask the County to administer the contract.
