Discussion followed on the cities working together, and coming to each other's aid if necessary; emailing Seminole County Commissioners with our concerns; that the City of Oviedo, the City of Winter Springs, and Seminole County should all be equal partners; that the University of Central Florida could possibly approach Seminole County; and communication issues. Mayor Persampiere then suggested, "Why don't we pass this to the City Manager's to get all the details of the Agreement." Further comments followed on the Agreement; and whether Seminole County had Approved it. Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs mentioned, "Probably we should discuss it, possibly at the next Meeting or the Meeting in December; so, we have the same facts that they do." Mayor Lacey noted, "We already have got our Agenda published — I will bring it up under my seat." With further comments, City Manager Kevin L. Smith then said, "I just want to make sure that I advise our Commission, that in light of what we are discussing here, I have not yet executed an Agreement with UCF (University of Central Florida), nor have I paid them the first seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00)." REGU'LaR 602. Interlocal Agreement For The Joint Economic Development Committee.

CITY OF WTNTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION JOINT MEETING WITH CITY OF OVIEDO - NOVEMBER 10, 2010 PAGE 4 OF 8 With further comments on Economic Development and efforts by Land Design Innovations, Inc., Mayor Persampiere stated, "I do think like Deputy Mayor (Rick) Brown said and Deputy Mayor (Steve) Henken, "We have got to bring this to the next level. This has to be folks who are not only so much committed but have a broader idea of what Economic Development is; and Economic Development as we all know is the primary business. SEMATECH is Economic Development. The Hospital is Economic Development, and 'Best Buys" is not." Mayor Lacey added that "Economic Development is better jobs and pay, and is not a strip mall." Deputy Mayor Brown then spoke of the importance of selecting the right members with the right qualifications. Related to the selection process by each City, Mayor Lacey suggested the Appointments should be by Consensus. Commissioner Krebs commented, "1 do agree with what Rick (Brown) is saying as far as picking the right people. I think what we need to do is when we get to that point, if that is what we choose to do, to have a selection process of three (3) people, that we in fact get - a resume, so to speak. Let us see what they have done, let us see - how they are going to help us, and then we go through it as a Commission; not just the first person who hits the button as you said." Further discussion followed on the composition of the proposed Joint Economic Development Committee. Mr. John Jones, Land Design Innovations, Inc. 1770 Fennell Street, Suite 200, Waitland, Florida: stated, "The point of the Economic Development Task Force is primary business recruitment; and so the thing you want to keep in mind when you're discussing potential memberships of the EDTF (Economic Development Task Force) is who participates in all of the primary industry recruitment activities in this area." Mr. Jones then referenced the cities, Seminole County, area Colleges/Universities, and the Metro Orlando Economic Development Committee as being involved in this process. Commissioner Gary Bonner commented on Ex Officio members. Mr. Jones then commented on the involvement of Seminole State College and the University of Central Florida and said, "Those would be the two (2) entities that would provide the training that Commissioner Bonner is referring to. The quick response training and implementation is one of the major incentive programs utilized by the State of Florida - so, if you're going to have two (2) educational slots available, I would recommend representation from Seminole State College and also representation from UCF (University of Central Florida); because they can satisfy both sides of the QRT, (Quick Response Training) Program — services that could be offered, and it would offer a wider range of Quick Response Services Training Programs that would be available to potential companies coming in." Discussion followed on the preferred number of members; that often smaller is better; whether the Sanford - Orlando International Airport should be included; and having representatives from the regional development community. Tape 1/Side B The number of members was further addressed, with the suggestion that both Mayors be included. 1kls.

FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION JOINT MEETING WITH CITY OF OVIEDO - NOVEMBER 10. 2010 PAGE 5 OF 8 Mayor Persampiere inquired, "Does anyone have a problem with Mayor Bush being the Chair from any side of the table?" With no objections voiced, Mayor Lacey then said, "If we have six (6) members, Winter Springs is going to Appoint John Bush - we have our Chair." The Metro Orlando Economic Development Committee was addressed next. Commissioner Jean Hovey and Commissioner Cade Resnick asked about representation from the schools on this Committee. Further comments followed on the proposed membership of this Committee. Continuing, Commissioner Krebs commented on Mr. Bush serving as the first Chair of the Joint Economic Development Committee; and suggested that "The first two (2) years, he does the initial Chair and then after that, it becomes a rotating Chair every year." Mayor Persampiere stated, "Anybody have any problems?" Mayor Lacey then noted, "The original Chair will be Appointed for two (2) years, then alternate yearly after that." Discussion followed on whether representatives from the Metro Orlando Economic Development Committee should be able to Vote. Afr. Richard Gestrich, City Manager, City of Oviedo, 400 Alexandria Boulevard, (-Aliedo, Florida: suggested, "If you are going to - rotate every two (2) years and to then Appoint another Chair for one (1) year, you lose the continuity." Mayor Persampiere stated, "Anybody have any problems?" No objections were voiced. Manager Smith summarized, "Two (2) years." Further discussion followed on Ex Officio members; the role that Seminole County members would serge; and the At Large seats." Manager Smith clarified, "It's UCF (Ed Jones, University Of Central Florida), UCF (Cynthia Sucher, University Of Central Florida), Seminole State, Metro Orlando EDC (Economic Development Committee), Seminole County, At Large Oviedo, At Large Winter Springs (John F. Bush)." Commissioner Krebs commented, "Correct." Vice Mayor Henken remarked, "Exactly right." Mr. Jones noted, "Seven (7) Voting, with three (3) Ex Officio's." Mayor Persampiere said, "Correct." Continuing, Mayor Persampiere explained the Ex Officio's are the two (2) Mayors and the President of the Chamber (of Commerce). Mayor Persampiere remarked, "Then you are going to change the way the Chair rotates." Manager Smith clarified, "Two (2) year rotating." Commissioner Gary Bonner said, "Point of Clarification " and remarked, "In the document in order to ensure the citizens representations, I think always, the Chair should be Appointed by their respective Commissions — the Chair comes from the citizens; meaning through the Commission of the City that it is representing. That language needs to be embodied. " With brief discussion, Manager Smith stated, "If everyone is okay with Commissioner Bonner's request, we will put it in." No objections were voiced. Mayor Lacey added, "I think we are saying that Winter Springs has the first Chair, so we are going to Appoint one (1) At Large position, respectively speaking, Mayor Bush." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION JOINT MEETING WITH CITY OF OVIEDO — NOVEMBER 10, 2010 PAGE 6 OF 8 Commissioner Bonner added, "My point is that the Chair is always one (1) of the (2) At Large Appointees. One (1) each from the respective City and therefore, it is assured that this organization is being led by the citizens that it serves." Mayor Lacey then confirmed, "We have Consensus on all that? That is composition." Manager Smith commented, "I heard that there is now a two (2) year term for the Chair. Would you also presume there are two (2) year terms for the members?" Comments followed on possible staggered terms; and members being Reappointed. Mayor Lacey then said, "Each of our Commission counterparts are going have to Approve the documents in a formal Meeting. Once the document is Approved, we will have to Appoint whoever our At Large is going to be." City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese remarked, "On the non At Large Voting members; are those also being Appointed by two (2) Councils, or are they being Appointed by the entities?" Mayor Persampiere commented, "They have to be Approved by the Councils, but my understanding is like Seminole State (College), Metro EDC (Economic Development Committee), and Seminole County. We are going to ask them to make their recommendation, then both Commissions are going to have to Approve." Attorney Garganese then said, "So, they will make a formal nominee and that nominee would have to be approved by both Councils in order to serve on the Task Force. Correct?" No objections were noted. Mayor Lacey mentioned, "We cannot obligate Ed Jones and Cynthia Sucher. UCF (University Of Central Florida) is going to have to make that call. We can suggest it." Manager Smith referred to page 11 of the "CITY OF OVIEDO/CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT RELATING TO A JOINT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TASK FORCE" document and asked, '`Is everyone okay with the objectives and activities, basically the duties of the Board?" There were no objections voiced. Tape 2/Side A Brief discussion followed on by-laws. Attorney Garganese confirmed, "We added a provision in here that requires them to submit a brief annual report in November of every year. That would be the appropriate time." Mayor Persampiere stated, "Exactly." REGULAR 603. Discussion Of Joint Planning Agreement (With A Presentation By Mr. Bryan Cobb, Development Services Director, City of Oviedo And Mr. Randy Stevenson, Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department, City of Winter Springs.) A& Bn�an Cobb, Director, Development Services, City of Oviedo, 400 Alexandria Boulevard, Oviedo, Florida: introduced this Agenda Item for discussion. Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department, also spoke on this Agenda Item. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION JOINT MEETING WITH CITY OF OVIEDO - NOVEMBER 10, 2010 PAGE 7 OF S Discussion followed on land owned by Seminole County, to which Mayor Persampiere remarked, "Just so everybody in the room knows, we have offered to partner with them over at Winter Miles, if they want to take that facility and move it over there. We have already partnered on the buying of land." Continuing, Mayor Persampiere said, "Their basic reply to us was 'Thanks, but we still think this is a viable product." Mayor Persampiere added, "Just so everybody knows, it is on the Table. If you are talking to your County Commissioners, they could move it three (3) miles east and we would be willing to have a conversation." Manager Smith commented, "To Commissioner Bonner's point as including this in our plan and looking at what we need to do." Mr. Stevenson noted, "Amendment 4 didn't pass, so this becomes much easier to include at a later date." Manager Smith said to Mr. Stevenson, "You'll put that on your radar?" Mr. Stevenson responded, "Yes. Further discussion. Mr. Cobb commented, "Something that's not in there that we did do, is that we created a Mixed Use District. It has Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1. And, so, we can go in and assign properties within the SeminoleWAY area to that Mixed Use District, which would elevate - the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to 1, along with us. The other thing that we can look at is one of the things that's part of this process - is whether we want to create a common Land Use that is shared between the two (2) cities; because one of the things you talked about was having the Floor Area Ratio's (FAR's) be comparable to each other, and one of the ways of doing that is creating a common Land Use between the two (2) cities. Creating a common Zoning District, creating as you talked about in your last Meeting, creating a common development process to go with that." Mr. Stevenson continued, "One of the first things we would be taking a look at in terms of the JPA (Joint Planning Agreement), is working on getting not only the Comprehensive Plans synchronized, but also the review process. We talked a little bit about having a single Land Use. I think it's important from a predictability standpoint to whether they're looking at - something in Oviedo or something in Winter Springs. They know what the Land Uses are; they know what the allowable densities are; they know what the process is. It's predictable to them, and that's what we're going to be working on with your blessing, as we go forward with this JPA (Joint Planning Agreement)." Discussion. Mr. Cobb explained, "We want to get your Consensus to just focus on the two (2) interchanges." Mr. Cobb added, "The Floor Area Ratios (FAR's), the building heights, Land Use mixes; those primary things, focusing on a common review Approval process." There were no objections. Continuing, Mr. Cobb then said, "We're probably going to come back to you on occasions — and we're going to ask you what your preference is on certain things, because what it is going to do, is give us guidance on how to piece all this together. So, we're going to becoming to you on occasions to not only just update, but we want to get you involved." Mayor Lacey asked Mr. Stevenson, "Do you feel like you have gotten the direction you need to be able to put this together?" Mr. Stevenson replied, "Yes." Mayor Lacey asked Manager Smith if he also agreed, to which Manager Smith explained that the City Commission had stated their support. Mr. Stevenson then summarized that the Elected Officials would be receiving a Preference Survey.
