Authorization
REQUEST: Police Department requesting the Commission to give approval to
purchase a Kustom Signals, Speed Monitoring Awareness Radar Trailer, known as
a SMART Radar Trailer.
PURPOSE: To inform and seek the consent of the Commission to purchase a SMART
Radar trailer.
CONSIDERA TIONS: The traffic volume within the City is continuing to grow
very rapidly. With an increase of vehicles we have also experienced an increase in speed
related traffic crashes, and speed-related violations. The Police Department receives
complaints daily concerning speeding violations all over the city. The most prevalent
request received by the department is to utilize radar enforcement. The SMART Radar
Unit can be utilized as both a traffic calming device that alerts people they are speeding
and an information gathering device that can be used to more effectively assign
resources. One of the best ways to gain driver safety and compliance to traffic violations
is driver awareness. By using the SMART trailer it can be placed on any roadway
unattended or attended where it will display the posted speed and vehicle speed.
The trailer is a self-contained unit that houses an onboard computer and is powered by
battery and solar energy. The unit is equipped with an alarm that will allow us to leave it
running for extended periods of time. It can conduct traffic counts, speed counts, and
complete traffic surveys for areas of concern. Both Public Works and the Police
Department can benefit from this service through the data compiled. This information
will assist us in future planning and the data collected will identify specific times and
locations where we can more efficiently assign enforcement resources to ease problem
areas.
In jurisdictions that are currently using the SMART Radar there has been significant
decreases in speed related crashes and traffic violations. They have been successful for
community awareness by allowing anyone to monitor traffic in their neighborhoods, and
enforcement by issuing warnings or citations to drivers that continually violate traffic
regulations.
FUNDING: Existing funds from Public Works Transportation Impact Fees currently
reflects a balance of $528,410.00.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the purchase of the SMART RADAR Trailer
from Kustom Signals for $15,055.00
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
Immediately upon approval by Commission.

Satisfaction Of The Code Enforcement Lien Against His Property.
Ms. Jimette Cook, Code Enforcement Inspector addressed the Commission regarding the
time line of this case; "The Board reached a decision of thirty-five (35) feet from the edge
of the property line, and wanted Mr. Dittmer's property to be mowed;" compliance; a
required inspection; and Liens. Ms. Cook stated "I informed Mr. Dittmer several times
that in order to release the fine, which had become a Lien on the property, it would have
to be mowed, in compliance and an inspection requested." Code Enforcement Officer
Cook explained that "The Code Enforcement Board doesn't have the authority to reduce
or satisfy a Lien - "A Lien runs in favor of the governing body," and that the property is
now in compliance to the satisfaction of the Code Enforcement Board.

Ms. Cook stated that the City was not seeking the full amount of the Lien; possible
problems with miscommunication; and that the Commission is being asked for their
guidance regarding a possible reduction or satisfaction of the Lien, if it is so desired.
Discussion ensued on the current amount of the Lien. Ms. Cook stated, that "As of
March 25, 2000, when we inspected the property, it was $32,400.00, and it stopped
running on March 25th of this year." Further discussion followed regarding the costs
incurred by the City - which was estimated at approximately $50.00; correspondence
between both parties; compliance issues; and had the City checked on this matter.
Mr. Walt Dittmer, 1006 Shepard Road, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of a "gross
misunderstanding;" his attempt to take care of the problem; compliance; the power
easement and berm; that he had not tried to "short-cut" the City; and the Lien.
Further discussion between Members of the Commission, Ms. Cook, and Mr. Dittmer
continued regarding miscommunication; easements; building a wall; deeding property to
"Wildwood;" what is the criteria for the mowing of (undeveloped) parcels of land within
the City; an "Order of the Code Enforcement Board;" letters sent to the City; what had
not been brought into compliance; other (undeveloped) parcels of land that are similar;
different sizes of buffers; "firebreaks;" the fine; and notification.
Commissioner Michael S. Blake suggested that "The number I would have - would be
$100.00 per day, for twenty days - that would be $2,000.00, plus the cost of $50.00; so
the amount that I would recommend to the Board would be $2,050.00."
Further discussion ensued about this property being a possible fire hazard to the nearby
wood-framed structures; how the property had been mowed; including the area west of
the retention ponds; swales; and communication problems. Also discussed was that this
property was a possible threat to the neighbors; and methods of communication.
Commissioner Martinez stated, "Mr. Mayor - Point of order please. Is there a Motion on
the floor?"
COMMISSIONER McLEOD THEN STATED, "BASICALLY, MY MOTION IS
BASICALLY TO LEVY A $2,000.00 (DOLLAR) FINE AND ADDITIONAL $50.00
(DOLLARS) FOR THE FILING, AND THAT WOULD TAKE UP THE TIME
UPON WHICH THE INITIAL ORDER HAD BEEN FILED TO BASICALLY
WHEN MR. DITTMER ORIGINALLY RESPONDED AND THOUGHT HE WAS
IN COMPLIANCE." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER McLEOD. SECONDED

Attorney Garganese suggested "I would bring it back to the Code Enforcement Board to
reconsider and clarifying the Order, because if he does not come into compliance, then
fines could start accruing again. What this Board voted for tonight, was simply to offer
to satisfy the lien at $2,000.00, plus $50.00 cost. But, there is still the issue of clarifying
the Order, and assuring that he comes into compliance. That jurisdiction belongs to the
Code Board, so it needs to go back, for that purpose."
Ms. Cook stated, "And I can initiate that proceeding. So, we'll do that for the next Code
Board meeting, and Mr. Dittmer will be noticed, and what we'll do is ask for a new
Order." Code Enforcement Officer added, "We can't bring it as a violation, because he is
in compliance now, but we'll ask the Board to consider amending their Order, and that
way we can take into consideration the ditches, that are now dry, but that will be wet if
we have water."
Commissioner Edward Martinez, Jr. asked that based on the testimony heard here
tonight, that the City Manager "Instructs the Code Enforcement Department to go out
there and inspect all these properties, and see if they are in compliance with the Code or
not; and report back to the Code Enforcement Board; and also assist in making sure that
one of those fires doesn't take over here in the City and cause us a lot of destruction and
possibly health hazards."
D. Police DepartmenL
Requesting The Commission To Give Approval To Purchase A Kustom Signals,
Speed Monitoring Awareness Radar Trailer, Known As A SMART Radar Trailer.
Chief of Police Daniel 1. Kerr addressed the Commission and asked that they approve
this device "to assist us in slowing the traffic in the City. This device is not specifically
for enforcing traffic, but to slow traffic down." Chief Kerr explained that this device was
computerized; that a lot of man-hours can be saved with this device; staff could be
assigned; and vehicle counts can be shared with other departments and agencies.
Further discussion ensued on related purchasing; that this be designated "sole source";
using the County's equipment; whether this unit be used to issue citations; Police
Officers per capita; that this could be a very effective tool; that it would primarily be used
on an unmanned basis; and violations.
