Commissioner Hale noted that Manager Smith had served the City well and agreed with honoring him. Next, Commissioner Kendrick spoke very highly of Manager Smith and commented, "I concur with Commissioner Hale that we certainly need to do something. Not just a plaque or something like that; we do need to recognize you in another way. I don't have an answer for that right now but I would like to put together a really nice send-off." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 11, 2019 PAGE I i OF 19 Commissioner Johnson remarked as to what a great job Manager Smith had done since becoming City Manager and stated, "The citizens of Winter Springs have certainly benefited from your efforts and your expertise. That said, I am big on having a dinner to recognize people in your category; and I think it would be highly appropriate for this City to have a dinner. I think that would do justice in recognizing you and thanking you for all of your years of service; and I know we typically have functions at the Tuscawilla Country Club. I would throw that out there — I am adamant that I think we ought to have an evening to do you justice in thanking you for all of your help." Discussion followed on the logistics of trying to have something put together before Manager Smith left Winter Springs. Manager Smith mentioned his great appreciation and the assistance he has received. Deputy Mayor Cannon said that he also agreed with the previous comments and added, "I feel that a banquet is definitely in order and 1 also feel that some other additional recognition like a `Key to the City' is also very much in order." Deputy Mayor Cannon further spoke of how much he appreciated Manager Smith. Mayor Lacey remarked, "It sounds like we are narrowing in on a banquet which I am supportive of. The last time we did this was in honor of Commissioner [Joanne] Krebs when she retired, so we have a template that is not very old for how to do it; so, I would suggest that at this point we tell Andrea (Lorenzo-Luaces, City Clerk) that we want to have something similar to what we did two (2) years ago for Commissioner Krebs. Is there agreement on that instruction?" Deputy Mayor Cannon stated, "Yes." No objections were noted. Mayor Lacey added, "The `Key to the City' is a great idea. I would endorse that." City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces referenced the event for former Commissioner Krebs and noted that it was done with a fifty/fifty (50150) type payment; and asked if the City Commission would like to do that, or perhaps have the City cover the entire costs of such an event. Commissioner Kendrick said he was not against this; however, he was wondering if perhaps the City should pay for the entire event. Mayor Lacey remarked, "I think some kind of cost sharing is appropriate because otherwise you don't know if you have serious people who want to come — you get a lot of reservations and no-shows; I think you really need to put some nominal price tag on it." Deputy Mayor Cannon commented, "I agree with the cost sharing for the very reasons you stated Mayor. It gives you a firmer head count for food planning." Deputy Mayor Cannon then suggested City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces report back to the Mayor and City Commission on the event date. City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces added, "Are you all leaning towards a dinner or a lunch." Commissioner Kendrick stated, "Dinner." No disagreements were voiced. Comments followed on a possible date and Mayor Lacey pointed out, "I don't think Fridays/Saturdays are a requirement — does anyone disagree with that?" Commissioner Kendrick suggested, "We could do it during the week." No objections were noted. Mayor Lacey then said to City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces, "Whatever you can work out at the country club." City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces stated, "Okay. And I will just get back in touch with you all." Mayor Lacey and Commissioner Kendrick commented, "Yes. Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "Yes, that will work."

MOTION BY COMMISSIONER JOHNSON. MAYOR LACEY NOTED, "TO THAT POINT, MECHANICALLY I THINK THAT IS DOABLE BUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT SHOULD BE THAT WE ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAW UP AN AGREEMENT THAT SPECIFIES THAT PROVISION SO THAT WE CAN SHOW THAT WE, ASSUMING THAT THIS PASSES, THAT WE HAD FOUR (4) VOTES THAT AFFIRM THAT WAS THE PLAN AND WE DON'T GET IN ANY COMPLICATIONS IN TERMS OF HOW THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER IS TREATED AFTERWARDS." COMMISSIONER KENDRICK ADDED, "I JUST DON'T WANT TO PUT A TWIST ON IT BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE THE CHANGE ON A DIME AT ANY POINT SO - I JUST DON'T THINK THAT FALLS IN LINE WITH CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT; ACTUALLY PUTTING A LIMITATION ON IT BECAUSE I THINK WE ARE GOING TO BE STARTING THIS PROCESS TOMORROW - THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE POTENTIAL CANDIDATES THAT HAVE APPROACHED ME ALREADY, RIGHT AFTER KEVIN SMITH RESIGNED; SO, THIS PROCESS HAS ALREADY STARTED AND I THINK A LIMITATION KIND OF THROWS A LITTLE BIT OF A TWIST- MY OPINION OF CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT. I JUST WOULDN'T WANT TO PUT THAT IN." COMMISSIONER JOHNSON REMARKED, "I WOULD LIKE TO REVISE MY MOTION, SIMPLY TO STATE THAT I MOVE THAT SHAWN BOYLE BE APPOINTED INTERIM - CITY MANAGER." SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KENDRICK. DISCUSSION. DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON REMARKED, "I WAS JUST GOING TO OFFER THAT AND I FEEL THAT IT IS INCUMBENT ON US AS COMMISSIONER KENDRICK SAID, TO MOVE EXPEDITIOUSLY WITH OUR SEARCH PROCESS FOR A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I HAD PREVIOUSLY INDICATED `FOR A PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED SIX MONTHS', IS TO BASICALLY NUDGE ALL OF US ALONG ON A FAIRLY FAST TRACK ALTHOUGH WE HAVE TO BE THOROUGH BECAUSE THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT DECISION THAT WE NEED TO MAKE." DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON CONTINUED, "MAYOR, WOULD A SECOND MOTION TO BEGIN A FAST TRACK SEARCH ALSO BE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD ENTERTAIN?" FURTHERMORE, DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON CONTINUED, "DO WE NEED FOR FORMAL ACTION TO BEGIN THE SEARCH PROCESS; AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO THE SEARCH PROCESS. WE CAN HAVE OUR HR DEPARTMENT BEGIN IT IMMEDIATELY AND THEN IF WE NEED TO HAVE A CONSULTANT WORK WITH US, WE COULD DO THAT, BUT THAT WILL DRAG IT OUT FURTHER." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 11, 2019 PAGE 14 OF 19 MAYOR LACEY SAID, "UNDER THIS AGENDA ITEM, AS I THINK THE MOTION YOU ARE DISCUSSING WOULD BE IN ORDER, BUT I NEED TO DISPOSE OF THE MOTION IN FRONT OF US ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, BEFORE I CAN RECOGNIZE THAT MOTION." DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON ADDED, "I JUST BRING THIS UP TO ASSUAGE CONCERNS THAT COMMISSIONER HALE MIGHT HAVE, AND THAT IS, WE NEED TO MOVE ON THE APPOINTMENT TONIGHT ON AN INTERIM BASIS, BUT BY THE SAME TOKEN, WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD QUICKLY WITH ESTABLISHING THAT FORMAL SEARCH PROCEDURE. AND FOR MY TWO (2) CENTS, THE CHARTER DOES PROVIDE THAT THE CITY MANAGER DOES ALL THE HIRING AND FIRING, BUT I THINK THAT WE AS A COMMISSION CAN EXPRESS THE WILL OF THE COMMISSION THAT THE FOCUS NEEDS TO BE MAINTAINING FULL CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT HERE IN THE CITY; AND THE INTERIM APPOINTEE, PROBABLY WOULD BE BEST SUITED DOING THAT AND NOT DRAMATICALLY MAKING DECISIONS WITH DEPARTMENT HEADS AND SO FORTH." FURTHERMORE, DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON STATED, "I WOULD EXPECT THAT OUR INTERIM CITY MANAGER TO BE RUNNING THE CITY FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND NOT ENGAGING IN WHOLESALE SHUFFLING AROUND OF DEPARTMENT HEADS. I DON'T THINK THAT WAS ENVISIONED PERSONALLY BY PROBABLY THE PERSON THAT IS UNDER DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW; BUT THAT WOULD BE MY TWO (2) CENTS DURING THIS INTERIM PERIOD." MAYOR LACEY STATED, "I THINK WE ARE READY TO PROCEED BUT FIRST I WOULD ASK FOR UNANIMOUS CONSENT THAT THE MOTION INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE ATTORNEY TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT THAT ENCOMPASSES THE TERMS WE TALKED ABOUT. IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU ANTHONY (GARGANESE)?" ATTORNEY GARGANESE RESPONDED. "YES." NO OBJECTIONS WERE NOTED. COMMISSIONER KENDRICK THEN POINTED OUT, "WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT TIME LIMIT ANYMORE..." MAYOR LACEY STATED, "...NO." CITY CLERK LORENZO-LUACES ASKED IF THERE WAS CONSENSUS ON THE LAST PART, TO WHICH MAYOR LACEY AND DEPUTY MAYOR CANNON SAID, "YES.

Mayor Lacey remarked, "So, that does pass by the required four (4) Vote margin. Mr. Boyle we look forward in four (4) weeks time to you joining us." In terms of a process to procure a permanent City Manager, Deputy Mayor Cannon noted, "In the interest of expediting the next and the really critical stage of this, that we should give direction to our staff with guidance from Kevin Smith before his departure, to begin the process of opening up a search for candidates, invitations for candidates to submit applications, and to formalize perhaps and bring back to us at the next meeting - perhaps Kevin Smith could bring us back some targeted timelines in the process that the realistic timelines and process for us to follow. I don't want to just leave it wide open I think that if we come up with timelines just like we did tonight with the preparation of the budget; if we build in some timelines with some deliverable dates, that's going to keep this process moving and bring in quality candidates for our consideration." Mayor Lacey said to Deputy Mayor Cannon, "When you say, staff, I would suggest that that include prominently Anthony (Garganese) as part of that process..." Deputy Mayor Cannon responded, "...Absolutely. Yes, I feel that this would need to be Anthony (Garganese) as well as our HR department and as well as Kevin Smith's assistance before he leaves; so, that we can come up with a timeline for deliverable dates and targets and then also obviously after Kevin leaves — if we need to bring in a Consultant or someone to help get through the applications, we can do that." Commissioner Hale suggested that perhaps some Interns from the University of Central Florida (UCF) could assist the City with this process. Commissioner Hovey's telephone connection ended at approximately 7:20 p.m. Mayor Lacey added, "I like the way the Deputy Mayor phrased it because it's beginning the process now without walking us into a specific way of doing it. I really think that we will benefit from a little bit of time passing to let Shawn (Boyle) get in place and begin that transition. Focus on the transition from Kevin Smith to the Interim and then begin in earnest looking at how we fill it long term; so, I would like us to not get too tied up in the process now but in a few weeks, what you are saying, is very appropriate." Further discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 11, 2019 PAGE 16 OF 19 Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "We are not just looking internally for the permanent City Manager, we are looking for the best and brightest candidates that we feel will be the best match for the City; and to utilize the services of both Anthony (Garganese) and our HR department to do those advertisements, to assemble the applications, and so forth; and that is what I envisioned. Have them kind of report back to us on some kind of a timeframe of what they think realistically that will entail." "I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GIVE DIRECTION TO THE CITY ATTORNEY AND TO THE CITY HR DEPARTMENT TO BEGIN A PROCESS AND REPORT BACK TO US — IN AN EXPEDITED WAY, NEXT MEETING OR TWO (2), SETTING FORTH THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE POSITIONS AND THE PROCESS BY WHICH WE WILL BE SCREENING APPLICANTS FOR A PERMANENT CITY MANAGER POSITION."

Related to other City business, Manager Smith stated, "At the last Workshop, we all discussed processes for moving forward and I asked everybody to give me an opportunity to do a little more research, and report back to you all at this meeting. That being said, there's a couple paths that we're seeking to take with your approval. Number one, is we are reaching out to a Consultant or through the League of Cities, or whatnot for purposes of comprising and putting forward a Visioning Session - similar to what we did about ten (10) years ago, to involve obviously the dais and the citizens to come in and go through a formalized process that I think would be beneficial to you all, for getting that input that you sought as we continue our Workshops." Manager Smith added that they are also working on a survey that would go on the City's website and through other means, would obtain citizen feedback, to which Manager Smith remarked, "So, those two (2) things right now are simultaneously being constructed. I don't know an exact date for the — Visioning Session yet, but I anticipate probably somewhere in the neighborhood of late April but we'd certainly bring that back to you all for approval and we would move forward also on the survey immediately as soon as we have that constructed. Relative to the Workshop, the next one as you know is scheduled for next Monday the 181h. Because we're moving forward with the Visioning Session and the surveys, I still think that you all have some desire to move forward on Workshops relative to the items that you had discussed before and so my thought is that we would move forward with that; however next week - as you all know, is spring break. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 11, 2019 PAGE 18 OF 19 I know that citizen input is important to the dais and I think you may be a little bit hampered by travel plans next week from our citizens; so, my recommendation is that perhaps we skip next Monday night in deference to the spring break holiday and then we pick back up with our next scheduled Workshop on — April the I", which will afford staff the opportunity to get a little more information on the items that I've discussed tonight." Manager Smith then said, "I'd be seeking Consensus or approval on that timeline and process, Mayor." Commissioner Kendrick stated, "Agreed." Commissioner Hale added, "Yes." Deputy Mayor Cannon remarked, "I agree with that." No objections were voiced. Comments followed on facilitating the Workshop. Mayor Lacey summarized, "I think you have got unanimous consent."
