CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING- SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 PAGE 16 OF 28 Next, Mayor Lacey mentioned he had met with some citizens who were interested in a community swimming pool and noted, "I have suggested that they work through some of the other jurisdictions - see if the School Board would be interested, or the County, and to bring it forward to Commissioners, and perhaps under Public Input, we might even hear from some." "CBC — Community Based Care of Seminole is having a breakfast on September 22nd, 2011 (at 7:30 a.m.) that they would like to have Winter Springs fill a table for and I have not committed to it but I will if we can get some other people to go to that."

Mayor Lacey then spoke of some recent Mayors and Managers meetings/discussions and explained that a current topic of conversation was, "In anticipation of the Legislative Delegation that is meeting Friday at the Board of County Commissioners, the School Board is proposing language to the Legislature to allow the one (1) penny - Charter County Transportation penny that is likely to be proposed by the County in the next year or two (2) primarily for SunRail needs, to allow language to be inserted in that that would permit the County, by Interlocal Agreement to allow a portion of those proceeds to go to the School Board or their operational needs." With further comments by Mayor Lacey that the Winter Springs City Commission has not taken a position; and that the Mayors and Managers agreed at this morning's meeting that "As a group, they would not a position on this issue because the opinion is too broad across the spectrum." Continuing, Mayor Lacey noted he was not taking a position from everyone, but just wanted to share the information. Mayor Lacey offered his heartfelt thanks to Manager Smith; Mr. Caldwell; Mr. Brian Dunnigan, Program Coordinator, Parks and Recreation Department; and Mr. Michael Barclay, Recreation Superintendent, Parks and Recreation Department for their assistance with the "9-11 Memorial" Ceremony, that was held on Sunday, September 11, 2011 at City Hall; and noted his apologies for any oversight in not acknowledging them which was totally unintentional. Manager Smith mentioned that Chief of Police Kevin Brunelle had also attended. Mayor Lacey offered his sincere thanks to Chief Brunelle as well. With further comments about the portion of the one (1) cent Sales Tax, Commissioner Resnick said to Mayor Lacey, "Is that `In lieu of or an `Add -on', to the request for Millage?" Mayor Lacey responded, "I think it ends up being an `Add -on' with the best possible scenario being that the Millage would be for short term duration and there would be a transition period but nothing is cast in stone. The School Board has not decided yet to go for the Millage on this Spring Ballot — they simply decided not to do that for the November Ballot. The decision on when and how to do that is not time critical anymore, so we are probably a couple of months away from them making that decision. I would hope that if they wanted to go for the Millage, that there would be some contract in place that would transition away from that, if they got sufficient funds out of the penny. Because the other piece of the equation is for the penny Transportation Tax, it has to be passed by the Voters, then it is subject to the County deciding what allocation they want to agree to with the cities, if any - the School Board." Further comments followed on the Educational Job Fund. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING- SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 PAGE 17 OF 28 REPORTS 408.

We appreciate input! We want input! We want you here! We want to hear what you have to say! So, anybody out there and listening — we want you to come and share your concerns with us." Mayor Lacey added, "I think we all second those comments." PUBLIC INPUT Mr. Paul P. Partyka, 292 Solaris Wharf Street, Winter Springs, Florida: remarked about the City being listed in Money Magazine's "100 Best Places to Live in America" and suggested this recognition be highly promoted; noted how nice the "9-11 Memorial" Ceremony was that was held yesterday on September 11, 2011, and said that Mayor Lacey did a super job. Mr. Partyka also suggested that some recognition or a Proclamation be given to Mr. Riordan for his efforts. Next, Mr. Partyka commented that he had spoken with Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department about a Town Center Ordinance and that he would be providing some information to Mr. Stevenson. Regarding an Ordinance related to signage, Mr. Partyka thought it should be changed and suggested that business owners be allowed to promote their businesses with balloons, signs, etc. and thought this Ordinance should be suspended for a couple of years in light of the tough economy, including Permit Fees being Waived and Regulations relaxed. Mr. Partyka also mentioned that he thought that the City could share this information via Utility Bills and Press Releases.

Mayor Lacey pointed out, "As we have kept the Voted Debt Millage at 0.1100, and this is the same action that the Commission took a year ago, before I was a part of it, I think that is something that goes little noticed because other communities very easily increase their Voted Debt Millage, just because they can." Mayor Lacey added, "But this Commission, for a couple of years running now, with the prodding from the Manager, have made the choice that we are not going to take the easy way out and just take it because it is available. I think the Commission from a year or two (2) ago, deserves credit for that."

Mr. Boyle introduced this Agenda Item and commented on the Budget process. Manager Smith mentioned to the City Commission about an issue with the proposed two percent (2%) increase for City employees and noted that a number of employees are at the top of their designated pay range. Commissioner Bonner spoke of similar situations he had dealt with in the private sector related to Salary Caps and explained, "Our practice was to not change the Salary Cap but to award the equivalent amount in as a Merit Bonus as it were. It experiences the same taxable treatment for the employee and it does not put you in a position - where you are making salary range changes based on dealing with a Cap. Now, I certainly would recommend that you do a Salary Cap review separate and apart from this undertaking, and you may very well come forward to us with recommendations for changes in the salary ranges since you pointed out they have not addressed since 2006. But I am not comfortable using this recognition, this award event as a reason to arbitrarily change the salary caps ; so, unless there are other policy reasons I am not aware of; my suggestion would be that this award for those employees who are at the salary cap be remitted in the form of a bonus and give you the independent time to address the salary cap matter separately under a normal thorough review, as you always do." Commissioner Brown mentioned a similar situation he just dealt with and the advice he received, "Was to actually pay them out over a series of months". Manager Smith mentioned he wanted to clarify, "The thought position is - if you've reached the cap of your salary range, you would receive it in the form of a bonus; and clearly, clearly, that is best financial position, clearly." Discussion. Manager Smith noted, "If this would be the Consensus of this body to go forward with the current status which is the Bonus type approach, we would ask that you Approve this Budget, which is essentially akin to the First Reading of an Ordinance." Manager Smith then remarked, "I would ask that you Approve this Budget as is, and then next meeting, when you Adopt the Final Budget, we will make the financial changes and everything will be in order." Further comments. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING— SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 PAGE 21 OF 28 Commissioner Bonner spoke further on his preference and stated, "I strongly recommend that the methodology be a merit award as opposed to an arbitrary change in the salary range." Manager Smith then said, "If that is the desire of this body, we would make those changes accordingly in anticipation of Final Adoption." Tape 1/Side B Mayor Lacey asked if any budgetary changes would be needed in this Fiscal Year. Manager Smith responded by saying, "The change would be a change downward in the Budget. We took the conservative approach about allocating funds under the thought process of potentially moving the ranges. That not being the desire presumably, then there would be probably a smaller amount of money — Bonus versus Recurring." Next, Mayor Lacey then inquired if a complete "Cody Study" would be needed? Manager Smith responded, "I would respectfully ask that we have that discussion at a future date; because quite frankly I have some thoughts on that, that may not include that." Commissioner Brown noted, "From the employees' perspective, because it is a Merit Bonus, there is no taxable advantage or disadvantage to them, whether it is paid as a Bonus or Salary?" Manager Smith mentioned, "Pension for example..." Mr. Boyle explained, "...There are implications based on their Benefits from a tax standpoint at the end of the year; you're going to have gross wages of `x' regardless — initially, they will take out more from a Bonus standpoint..." Manager Smith added, "...Yes, you may have — since the Bonus is paid in this current tax year, you may have more income rather than spreading it through the entire year." Commissioner Bonner conveyed that he thought we had some flexibility "Based on the Fiscal Year nature of the City's Budget, to work with the timing of that, that may allow you to conduct these awards at the best time for each employee; so, giving you some flexibility to work" with concern for the best, for each individual's personal situation. Furthermore, Commissioner Bonner commented on the private sector and merit awards and added that when one is at the top of your salary range, "It is incumbent on management to work with those individuals that have an interest to grow beyond that salary range for other opportunities that may exist to allow them to grow beyond that range. But again, I would not support an arbitrary change in the salary range based on our good intent and budgeted desire to recognize all employees equally, at least at the gross payout level." Manager Smith asked, "If there is a Consensus to Commissioner Bonner's position, may I ask if you seek whether or not there is a Consensus for that?" Mayor Lacey asked the City Commission, "Does anyone on the Commission object to the plan laid out by Commissioner Bonner, to convert what would have been two percent (2%) salary increases to a two percent (2%) Bonus structure in keeping the ranges intact? Is anyone in favor of making Salary Cap Adjustments?" Manager Smith explained, "If that's the case, then there is technically no action required on this body, because that is the current default position. So, then I would, if I may, respectfully ask that the Commission just Approve this Agenda Item as laid out and recommended." Commissioner Brown asked, "Thinking from the employees perspective, is there no advantage or opportunity to pay that Bonus over a series of months so they don't take the full impact in the same tax year?" Manager Smith and Mr. Boyle said, "Certainly." Commissioner Brown added, "They could spread it out so that they are not seeing a big hit this year..." Mayor Lacey added, "...I think it would be preferable that if it was paid similar to how a salary increase would be paid but classified differently." Commissioner Bonner agreed. Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item. No one spoke.

Mayor Lacey spoke for Record and clarified, "The terminology is a little bit inexact, because to me a Sunset Review implies that it is going to Sunset if we don't do anything, but it really does not. It continues unless the Commission takes action otherwise. So, this is at the Commission's request that it come back for review after it has been in place for some period of time." Mr. Stevenson remarked, "You are correct again. We're bringing this back to you pursuant to Section 10 — of the Ordinance; and it specifies that in September of 2011, that Staff will bring this back." Commissioner Brown asked, "If we leave the Ordinance in place as it currently exists, which is what my recommendation would be, is there anything that keeps it coming back? Do we have to take any action to keep this from coming back to us; because I think we have determined and decided on multiple occasions, this is an integral part of the direction we want to take." Attorney Garganese noted, "I think it was just for this one (1) time; it's not required to come back next year, unless you want it back next year for review." "I WILL MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE TAKE NO ACTION AT THIS TIME AND ALLOW THIS ORDINANCE TO CONTINUE IN FORCE WITHOUT FURTHER REVIEW OR FURTHER DECISIONS ON SUNSETTING." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BROWN.
