Duplication - Exist where more than one (1) service provider provides the same service or
facility to the same customer (this would not include any agreements to provide secondary or
backup support, such as police or fire protection). Duplication of service only occurs when two
(2) entities provide the same service within the same (overlapping) geographic area.
Deficit - Occurs when one (1) ofthe eight (8) listed community services is not provided in a portion
ofthe geographic area ofthe jurisdiction. A deficit also occurs when one (1) ofthe listed community
services is provided at a level below the adopted or generally recognized level of service standard for
that type of service.
Analvsis of Duplication of Service and Deficiencies in Service
Based on the above definitions of "duplication" and "deficit", no known service duplications or
deficiencies have been identified by the ISDAR. Consequently, no approach is needed to address
duplication or deficit.

recreation, and transportation facilities.
The City of Winter Springs provides some of these services, such as water, sewer and public

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA
INTERLOCAL SERVICE-DELIVERY
AGREEMENT REPORT
special City events, including the annual Halloween Dance, are held at Indian Trails
Middle School.
1. Capital Responsibility
The City of Winter Springs has historically operated and maintained a
comprehensive parks and recreation program. An analysis contained within the
Recreation and Open Space Element of the City's existing facilities and projected
needs revealed that most parks and recreation facilities are adequate to meet the
needs of the City during the next planning period.
2. Capital Responsibility
The City's parks and recreation budget is funded mostly from general fund revenue
and grants. Other recreation/open space needs may come from impact fees or land
reservations required by the City's Code of Ordinances. The City has also had land
donated for various parks. Various Civic organizations and individuals also donated
some of the park facilities. SOll1e of the funding for capital improvements for
recreation that the City has used include bonds and grants from the State and
County. The City's Code of Ordinances currently requires parkland in
neighborhoods.
3. Service Area
Based on adopted service area levels of service for parks, the City's community parks
service areas extend beyond tlle City boundaries. The Recreation and Open Space
Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan shows some deficiencies in terms of
neighborhood park service area. However, the areas not currently covered include
neighborhoods with private facilities or vacant areas.
H. Transportation:
For the purpose of this report, "transportation" refers to public or private systems
subject to an adopted level of service standard (see s.163.3180 (1), F.S., and Rule 9J-
5.0055(2)(a), F.A.c.). The main roads in and around the City are the Greeneway, S.R.
434, S.R. 419, U.S. 17-92, Red Bug Lake Road, and Tuskawilla Road. Located in south-
central Seminole County in a suburban residential setting, the City's major roadways
provide access to neighboring towns for Winter Springs residents and employees and
facilitate the flow of traffic.
1. Operational Responsibility
All major roadways within the City limits of Winter Springs are under the jurisdiction
of the State of Florida, Seminole County or the City of Winter Springs. There are
four state arterials, S.R. 417, U.S. 17-92, S.R. 434 and S.R. 419; and one County
arterial, Tuskawilla Road. There are two County collectors (East lake Drive and a
portion of Shepard Road), and nineteen (19) City collectors.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has regulatory authority over
the use of land within rights-of-way and surface water discharge into highway
drainage systems. As such, FDOT regulates curb cuts, traffic signalization, and
drainage flow on the State's highway system. FDOT is also responsible for
!.anl1Jcsi!Jn 9nnovafions, 9nc.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA
INTERLOCAL SERVICE-DELIVERY
AGREEMENT REPORT
determining the functional classification of roads within tlle City of Winter Springs
and the surrounding area. The office responsible for local coordination is located in
Orlando.
LYNX operates the fixed route bus transit system in Seminole County. There is
currendy one bus transit route serving the City of Winter Springs, Route #39, and
one route that goes to the Oviedo Marketplace area (Route #47). Route 39 runs
along U.S. 17-92 from Fern Park to Sanford. There are no covered bus stops in the
City.
2. Capital Responsibility
The rin1ing of new roads and streets, intersection improvements, and the placing of
traffic signalization have been driven by new development, availability of funds and
public input. The location of signaling devices has been detet111ined by the
Department of Transportation on arterial streets and on collector streets feeding into
arterial streets. The local traffic control authority of the Winter Springs Police
Department and tlle City's Public Works Department determine the placing of traffic
signs and other internal controls in residential and commercial areas.
Transportation related operations and projects are presently funded under the City
Department of Public Works. This department is funded from general fund
revenues and special revenue funds. The Seminole County Local Option Gasoline
Tax and State Motor Fuels Tax, which are a part of general fund revenues, are
reserved exclusively (pursuant to State Statute) for streets and drainage operations
and capital projects. In addition, the City implemented a transportation impact fee in
1990 and amended it in 1991 to help provide funding for improvements to the City's
transportation system.
To help fund future transportation projects, the Seminole County one-cent local
option sales tax was passed in 1990. TillS local option sales tax expired in year 2001.
On September 4, 2001, the County passed anotller voter referendum to continue the
one-cent local option sales tax to fund transportation projects through the year 2011.
It is estimated that this tax will generate 12.5 million dollars for the City of Winter
Springs. A listing of the proposed projects to be funded by the one-cent sales tax is
provided in the Capital Improvements Program.
Since a number of roadways within the City limits are under the jurisdiction of
Seminole County, a large amount of funding is expected from that source.
Coordination witll Seminole County and FDOT will be necessary to ensure the
implementation of a majority of these improvements. The Intergovernmental
Coordination Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan recommends coordination
with the County to ensure adequate funding of these projects. Funding for these
projects is anticipated to come from a variety of sources. An analysis of these
sources is included later in this Element.
Lynx, the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority's mass transit bus
service, provides bus service along U.S. Hwy 17-92 adjacent to Winter Springs. There
is no interlocal service agreement with tllls agency and the City does not contribute
to LYNX bus service.

IV. Special Districts
The following special districts are present in the City:
· South Seminole & North Orange County Wastewater Transmission Authority
. U.S. Highway 17-92 Corridor Redevelopment Agency
The City also makes part/participates in the following districts:
. ECFRPC
. FDOT District 5
. MetroPlan Orlando
. Seminole County Community College
. Seminole County School Board
. St. Johns River Water Management District
V. Duplication/Deficit of Service Delivery
The City of Winter Springs has not identified any major duplication or deficits in the
provision of public services. The only issues that the City recognizes as areas for
improvement are the need to provide more fire hydrants in the Tuskawilla Trails and
Ranchlands neighborhoods; and the need to coordinate with MetroPlan Orlando and LYNX
for the expansion of bus routes, when deemed necessary due to the development of new
traffic generators/ attractors such as the Town Center and the Greeneway mixed use district.
Policies in the City's Comprehensive Plan state that the City will help achieve increased
ridership by encouraging compact development, requiring the provision of pedestrian
connections, and requiring the provision of transit facilities and amenities where necessary.
No in1mediate action will be necessary based on tlle initial assessment of all current interlocal
agreements.
