(This Agenda Item Was Scheduled To Be Discussed At The October 30, 2000 Special

Mr. Ronald W. McLemore, City Manager introduced this issue to the Commission.
Discussion.
Ms. Candice Birle of the Wyman Fields Foundation: addressed the Commission.
Commissioner Miller asked, "On Rhoden Lane, the parking lot, is it going to remain the
way it is, or is something going to happen to that? Ms. Birle replied that "No, the City of
Winter Springs entered into a contract with Seminole County for CDBG funds, which is
completely separate from this, to completely re-do that as a public street." Commissioner
Miller further inquired, "It's going to be' done before this segment is finished? Okay. So

the flooding problem there is not going to reoccur?" Ms. Bide stated, "The plans for the
street include drainage from the street down to the retention - and all that is included in
the street."
Commissioner Miller further stated, "The only other comment that I have, is in the future
times when we meet on this, I'd like to see a map, maybe City Staff could provide it -
which lays out where the work is actually going on right now."
Mr. Jason Howard, Sales Manager: gave the Commission an update on this project's
sales.
Commissioner Michael S. Blake stated, "Ron, you and I had a discussion about some
potential benefits that could be added to the project on the back end, in consideration for
us accepting this additional risk, if we were to. Have you followed up on that at all?"
Manager McLemore replied, "We have had some discussions on that and I confirmed
with you that out of the profits that - we already have Board approval I believe, isn't that
right Candice, from your Board - to make additional improvements to Kristi Ann and
Rhoden, in the form of a landscaped wall, across the front." Manager McLemore added,
"Plus, we talked today about them putting up, ten percent (10%) of their end profit to go
back into the revolving loan fund - the cash contribution above the payment schedule."
.Ms. Bide explained, "As a non-profit, we do that anyhow, in other words when we have
gained any type of profit, it must go back into the project in order for it to remain true to
the purpose, and keep our non profit status. So, all of the profits that we would gain from
the project would go back into either this project or Phase II project." Ms. Bide added,
"So releasing ten percent (10%) of that back to the City to put back into the pool fund to
ensure that this community could have invested dollars, you know, sitting there to re-
invest in rehab or whatever, in that community, that's no problem."
Commissioner Blake further inquired, "Would those dollars be City dollars or would they
be dollars of the foundation earmarked for.. ." Manager McLemore added, "He's asking
- is that the original loan amount principal that we gave you, or is that - indeed from
your profits?"
Ms. Bide stated, "Yes, from our profits. It's ten percent (10%) over and above... we are
anticipating receiving revenues and profits at the end of this, as we get into selling out the
remaining units."
Commissioner Blake added, "When all is said and done, at the end of the game, then I've
heard numbers batted around anywhere from $350,000 to $450,000 dollars. But, what
you're suggesting is the foundation would take ten percent (10%) of whatever that
number ended up being and then that number would be set aside. Now my question is, is
it set aside in the City, do you give that to the City, then we put that in a special trust
fund, to be utilized for rehab.. .where is the control?"

Ms. Bide added, "We would want to stipulate that it would go back into some type of
loan fund for the community."
Commissioner Blake also stated, "As I understand it, you would agree to construct a
landscaped feature, perhaps a wall, not necessarily a six (6) foot wall, but a landscaped -
type of separation."
Ms. Bide explained, "Actually, we were looking at that all the way through this, that we
needed to do this. There just wasn't money in anyone's budget to do that - as part of the
rehab budget. But, our Board of Directors approved that way in the beginning that -
subdivision - what we call a subdivision wall, it would probably be a brick column with
wrought ironlbrick - or some type like that. We don't want to wall off the community.
But it definitely needs a wall of some sort. That has always been in our plan to utilize
some of our profits for that."
Discussion.
"I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DO APPROVE ITEM 'A' AND THAT UNDER
THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT 1 THROUGH 5 THAT HAS BEEN LAID
OUT IN OUR PACKET FOR US TODAY." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER
McLEOD.

BELIEVE THOSE UNITS WERE - LORI ANNE LANE. SECONDED.
DISCUSSION.
COMMISSIONER BLAKE ADDED, "AND THE MOTION IS SUBJECT TO
PEOPLE'S BEING - BROUGHT UP CURRENT." MANAGER McLEMORE
ALSO STATED, "I PROBABLY SHOULD ADD THOSE OTHER TWO
PROVISIONS OF THE TEN PERCENT (10%) AND THE ADDITIONAL
FENCING OR ARCHITECTURAL FENCING."
COMMISSIONER BLAKE THEN STATED, "I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO
AMEND THE MOTION TO INCLUDE THE PROVISIONS OF THE
ENHANCED LANDSCAPED WALL AND A REMITTANCE OF TEN PERCENT
(10%) OF THE FINAL PROJECT PROFITS TO A SPECIAL FUND OF THE
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS THAT WOULD BE SET ASIDE AND USED FOR

Ms. BirIe inquired, "If there is anyway we could get everything done so that the minute
we close, the check is - in his hands." Manager McLemore stated, yes, we will be
