Interview applicants for the Community Redevelopment Agency. (Regular Item No. 9.K) [Commission Memo 09-
The Commission interviewed four applicants: Otto Garrett; Jerry Mills; Lindsay Oyewale; and Nelson
D.Beverly. (Commissioner Jones joined the work session).
2) Florida Power and Light Franchise Agreement extension - discussion. [Commission Memo 09-025]
Mr. Yehl stated that he has met with Assistant City Attorney Lonnie Groot and Attorney Roy Young and they
do not believe a 30 year franchise agreement is in the best interest of.the City and proposed using the current agreement with a
5 year extension and filing a declaratory judgement. Attorney Young stated another issue is that the facilities need to be
relocated at Coastline Park at an estimated cost of $180,000 and that these costs should be FPL's responsibility, not the City's.
3) Stormwater Utility Fee Rate increase - discussion. (Regular Item No. 9.P)[Commission Memo 09-028]
Mr. Yehl stated that the Stormwater Utility Fee Rate Study was completed the end of December, 2008, and staff
is proposing an 8% increase effective April, 2009 and then a 6% increase the next four years.
Anthony Hairston, Managing Consultant, Public Resources Management Group, Inc. and Tom George, Public
Works Director, reviewed the project schedule(s) and answered questions.
4) Commercial Recycle Toter ServiceslRates - discussion. (Regular Item No. 9.H) [Commission Memo 09-003]
Mr. Yehl stated that this is not a mandatory program and is optional for businesses.
5) Boys and Girls Club Lease - discussion. (Regular item No. 6.M)[Commission Memo 09.001M.]
Mr. Yehl explained this is a non-exclusive lease agreement and that other organizations can use the facility.
Mayor Kuhn questioned the Boys and Girls Club $225,000 portion, stating she believed it was supposed to be $250,000; Vice
Mayor Williams concurred that the amount was supposed to be $250,000. Commissioner Bridges stated he would like to see
the actual utility bills for the last year, not an "average" of the bills. It was suggested that the City subcontract with Britt
Henderson who currently works for the Boys and Girls Club, to provide the additional support needed. Mayor Kuhn asked that
Sections B, C, and D be clarified and that the Lease be brought back in two weeks.
6) Code of Ethics for Public Officers - discussion. [Commission Memo 09-004]
It was the consensus of the Commission for staff to prepare the document in final form and bring it back for
Commission action. The Commission asked that all board members receive a copy and that the City Attorney include this in
his "orientation".
7) Operation of Mobile Food Vendors - discussion. [Commission Memo 09-019]

felt the City should consider acquiring it. Commissioner Bridges stated he would like the county to clear the title prior to
