Discussion followed on previous Agreements related to the City's Comprehensive Plan and the City Commission giving direction to private businesses. Attorney Garganese stated that "What Staff is proposing here is to release the development project from this requirement so it could proceed under the normal course. That's one recommendation and then the Club would agree to continue to build that fourth tennis court but when they reach 550 members, which they're still quite a ways from doing." Further discussion followed. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 15 OF 31 Mayor Lacey said, "I think it is an essential part of this that we divide the split responsibility now between the Developer and the Country Club because we have one tied to the other..." Commissioner Krebs added, "...It has changed, yes..." Mayor Lacey continued, "...And so the Agreement that is put forward here tonight, solves that problem, and I think it is essential that we do that." Further, Mayor Lacey also noted his concerns with the City asking private businesses to meet certain guidelines. Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input "portion of the Agenda Item. No one spoke. Mayor Lacey closed the "Public Input"portion of the Agenda Item. Discussion followed. Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department stated, "Just to address the Easements in `500.2', we put in - an Easement matrix, a status of the ten (10) Easements that are required and related to this project. Just as a quick summary is that nothing is past due in those Easements, the ones that needed to be Recorded have been. The rest are in various stages of progress. That will come back to the Commission when this project goes to Site acceptance. That is the time that we will present an Agenda Item stating that in order to get on the Agenda, they have to have those Easements completed and recorded to our satisfaction. So, Easements are in progress. Summary is `500.2'." Commissioner Bonner then noted, "I am not seeing or hearing that there are any other open matters to be resolved between either of these parties and the City, on behalf of the citizens?" Manager Smith responded, "Not that we're aware of Commissioner. No." Commissioner Bonner then mentioned he agreed with Commissioner Brown and Mayor Lacey about their concerns with the City being involved in such business negotiations. Further discussion. Mr. Monte Carmack, General Manager, Tuscawilla Country Club, 1500 Winter Springs Boulevard, Winter Springs, Florida: stated, "One of the things I addressed last week and the only thing that I would say about the number was 550 — but it was Golf and Tennis members because the social members cannot play Golf or Tennis; so that's the only correction I'd want to make. And, that in the letter we sent you, it said 550 Golf and Tennis. In actuality, if we get 550 Golf and Tennis members, we're going to be building a Tennis Court anyway." Commissioner Brown asked, "Would you see it as a good business venture, to provide those memberships, if it wasn't required in the agreement?" With further comments, Commissioner Brown clarified that his question dealt with, "The requirement to have a Club membership for the people who buy the homes." Mr. Daniel S. Thall, Morgran Management, LLC, 450 North Wymore Road, Winter Park, Florida: remarked, "That is already done. We already have an Agreement. We are paying up front for sixty (60) memberships, twelve (12) full Golf and forty-eight (48) Tennis memberships." Commissioner Brown then inquired, "And that is fine with you, you would do it regardless of it being in the City's Agreement?" Mr. Thall replied, "Yes." Further comments. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 16 OF 31 Attorney Garganese remarked, "What we're asking the Commission is to give direction for the fourth tennis court because it is a piece of information that will affect the actual four (4) more items coming up. So, we just need direction on what you want to do with the fourth tennis court. The way the Fifth Amendment to the Settlement Agreement is drafted in your Agenda, it incorporates Staff's recommendation but there would be another Agreement that would have to be entered into with the Club that we would have to prepare; but that's separate and apart from the Development Application that's before you." Next, Attorney Garganese then said, "The Settlement Agreement with the Club — that you could delegate that." Attorney Garganese then said that he and the City Manager would review all the details and complete the Agreement. "I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF ITEM `500' TO PROCEED WITH ALL APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS - WILL BE THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IF I AM READING THAT CORRECTLY, BETWEEN THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS AND THE WINTER SPRINGS GOLF, LLC."

MAYOR LACEY SUMMARIZED THE MOTION — "TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR ITEM `500' WHICH ESSENTIALLY DELEGATES PREPARATION OF THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO TIE THE FOURTH TENNIS COURT TO THE 550 MEMBERSHIP LEVEL IN THE COUNTRY CLUB." COMMISSIONER BROWN STATED, "I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR FOR THE RECORD. WE HEARD FROM THE DEVELOPER THAT THEY INTENDED TO PURCHASE THE CLUB MEMBERSHIPS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT WAS IN THE AGREEMENT OR NOT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM CLEAR WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER, THAT THAT NUMBER THAT THE CITY I BELIEVE WRONGLY HAS IMPOSED INTO THIS CONTRACT, REQUIRING YOU TO BUILD THAT TENNIS COURT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD DO ANYWAYS AS YOU STATED, WHEN THE NUMBERS CAME TO THAT 550; AND IT BEING IN THE CITY'S REQUIREMENTS, DOESN'T IMPOSE ANY HARDSHIP." FROM HIS SEAT, MR. CARMACK STATED, "THAT WOULD BE CORRECT." COMMISSIONER BROWN ALSO MENTIONED FOR THE RECORD THAT HE DOES NOT SUPPORT GOVERNMENT IMPOSING SUCH REQUIREMENTS. MAYOR LACEY THEN COMMENTED, "THE RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR 550 MEMBERSHIPS. THE GENERAL MANAGER WANTED THAT TO SAY, 550 GOLF AND TENNIS MEMBERSHIPS. DO WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION THERE?" MANAGER SMITH SAID, "WE HAVE NO DIFFERENCE OF OPINION." DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THIS WOULD BE ENFORCED. MAYOR LACEY ADDED, "WHY ARE WE IMPLEMENTING A REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO ENFORCE?" FURTHER COMMENTS. "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT THAT WE TAKE THAT PIECE OUT — THE 550, TAKE IT OUT - THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT. I BELIEVE HE WILL DO IT. HE IS A BUSINESSMAN AND HE WANTS BUSINESS."

THOSE EASEMENTS MUST BE GRANTED BY THE CLUB. IF THE COMMISSION IS INCLINED TO RELEASE THE FOURTH TENNIS COURT, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT AS A CONDITION OF RELEASING IT, THAT YOU GET THE NECESSARY EASEMENTS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT." ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE INCLUDED INTO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. THERE ARE JUST EASEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE GRANTED. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THOSE EASEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE GRANTED BASED ON MY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CLUB AND THE DEVELOPER. IT IS A LOOSE END. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING SOME BENEFIT TO THE CLUB BY RELEASING THE FOURTH TENNIS COURT, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THOSE EASEMENTS TO THIS PROJECT, AND I BET THE DEVELOPER WANTS TO ENSURE THE SAME." WITH FURTHER COMMENTS, ATTORNEY GARGANESE NOTED, "IT'S GOING TO BE AN AMENDMENT TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO RELEASE THE CLUB OF THE TENNIS COURT - IT DOESN'T ADDRESS THE EASEMENTS." MOTION TO AMEND THE MAIN MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KREBS WHO STATED, "I WOULD MAKE THAT A CONDITION - IN THE MAIN MOTION THOUGH, TO INCLUDE THE EASEMENTS AS DESCRIBED BY THE ATTORNEY."

FISCAL IMPACT: The Potential Tax Revenue Of The Proposed Project Is Estimated As Follows: Townhomes (60 Units) Units (1,800 Square Foot Average) Assessed At $90.00/Square Foot: $9,720,000.00 Assessed Tax Value (1,800 x 90=162,000 x 60 Units = $9,720,000.00) $9,720,000.00/1000 = $9,720.00 $9,720 x (2.5814) = $25,091.21 $25,091.21 (Less The 4% Statutory Discount) _ $24,087.56 Tax Revenue City Of Winter Springs Taxes Paid On Vacant Land Now (Data Obtained From Seminole County Property Appraiser): $3,097.68 $3,097.68 Tax Revenue Total Potential Tax Revenue: $27,185.24 COMMUNICATION EFFORTS: This Agenda Item Has Been Electronically Forwarded To The Mayor And City Commission, City Manager, City Attorney/Staff, And Is Available On The City's Website, LaserFiche, And The City's Server.

Furthermore, This Information Is Also Available To Any Individual Requestors. City Staff Is Always Willing To Discuss This Agenda Item Or Any Agenda Item With Any Interested Individuals. RECOMMENDATION: Staff And The Planning And Zoning Board Recommend That The City Commission Act On The Requests For The Tuscawilla Greens Project As Follows: 1) Approve The Modified Preliminary/Final Engineering Plans To Accommodate The Proposed townhome Development; And, 2) Approve The Amended Development Agreement And Authorize The City Manager And City Attorney To Finalize The Document For Execution And Recordation. Mr. Fields gave a brief summary of this Agenda Item and remarked, "The only new information in the Agenda Item is the Easement matrix I spoke about before. Those Easements need to be in place before we can accept the site and before Certificates of Occupancy can be given; so as a minimum, those Easements need to be in place before that time." Discussion. Commissioner Bonner said to Mr. Fields, "My concern is, by granting Engineering, the Developer could move ahead and do what the Developer can do, prior to those Easements being available. That would alter the property from its current status and in the event that the Easements were not received, the project would not be able to proceed to conclusion while that matter was resolved. So, the community would be impacted potentially by a change in the status quo for the property because some activity had transpired in anticipation of the awarding of the Easements." Mr. Fields remarked, "The approach to the Easements is no different here, than we've done on other projects — is that they design the site. There are water mains, walls, fences, drainage pipes that need to be in Easements, that infrastructure gets built and then they record the Easements over the built infrastructure. Before we allow them to occupy units, those Easements have to be in place. So, the process here is the same as we have for other projects. The only difference here is that some of those Easements are being dedicated by the Country Club because they're on Country Club property." Additionally, Mr. Fields suggested, "I don't think we have any problem as long as we proceed with the direction that the Commission just gave to have some leverage over the Country Club to have them execute these Easement agreements." Discussion followed on avoiding eyesores, the timing of the Easements, the process, the order of work to be done, different possible scenarios, the number of Easements and the related status of the Easements. Mr. Fields noted, "Probably at the next Meeting, they will be coming in with their Final Plat and with that Plat, in order to record it, they will need to post a Letter of Credit, which they don't have today." Furthermore, Mr. Fields explained that the Letter of Credit is "To restore the site. However, if the Easements were very much a concern, you could make that a condition of Approval of the Final Engineering such that we would verify that they are in place before doing any additional work." Further discussion. Mr. Thall commented about normal processes. Attorney Garganese remarked, "The Easement issue has been pending for several years now. They need to be completed, at least with respect to the Emergency Ingress/Egress Easement; we have the Drainage Easements for ponds that have already been completed, that includes Ingress/Egress for the City across the 10`h Fairway, all of those Easements were worked out and provided, and we never received them after Commission Approval." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 21 OF 31 Furthermore, Attorney Garganese pointed out, "These Easements need to be granted and if it takes them granting the Easements before they can proceed with work, pursuant to the Engineering, I think that's reasonable under the circumstances of this particular Development project." Commissioner Bonner remarked about the high visibility of this area; and comments followed on being reasonable. Commissioner Brown then noted, "I don't think it is an unreasonable request to make sure that once that starts moving forward, it moves forward to completion." Mr. Thall stated, "I think we would be happier if you have to tie the requirement to something, to tie it to vertical construction. Anything that we would do between now and vertical construction would only be an improvement. The things that are left on the site work are the perimeter fence, sign monument. I mean these are all things that will only go to improve the property. So, if this is a decision of the Commission, to hold this, even though that's not the policy that I was told was in place, it would seem less damaging to us at least if we could do some of the things that need to be done and mostly, our concern is to secure the site." Discussion followed on Winter Springs' image with business, stressing that Winter Springs becomes more business friendly, and the process for this project. Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input "portion of the Agenda Item. No one spoke. Mayor Lacey closed the "Public Input "portion of the Agenda Item.

Mr. Fields also spoke on parking and added, "Here, there would be no visitor parking lot. It's something we discussed in review. It's something that we recommended. We cannot require it by Code right now." In regards to extra parking, Commissioner Krebs noted, "There are times where it is possible to create a project that has that extra — that wasn't the case here." Commissioner Resnick inquired, "Where do visitors go?" Mr. Fields responded, "The lack of visitor parking was a concern. It was relayed to the original Developer. It was discussed at length in that original development. We relayed that to the new Developer. Their plan here is an improvement in the parking, still not providing off site, or on site visitor parking away from someone's driveway; however, they do have more parking available in the driveway in these units, than they had in the condominium units."

Ms. Joanne Dalka, Director, Information Services Department addressed the City Commission and presented various aspects of this Agenda Item and expected improvements. Mr. Joe Alcala, MCSE, CISSP, IT Coordinator/Security Administrator, Information Services Department commented on the Request for Proposal (RFP) bidders, results, and scoring factors. Remarking on various options Staff was interested in, Mr. Alcala noted, "We looking at various ways to cut that ongoing maintenance down." Furthermore, in commenting on the capabilities of such a system, Mr. Alcala pointed out, "We're not just replacing a phone system, but it's opening a tremendous amount of opportunities for us, to do some really great things within the City to service our citizens and our internal constituents, here within City Hall, if you will." Features of the systems that Staff was looking forward were referenced and ways such a system could assist Staff with better customer service measurement capability; ways Staff could now develop a true Call Center, incorporating intelligence into this network system; virtual workforce capability; and other technical options available with such a "Voice over Internet Protocol" (VolP) telephone system. Manager Smith then commented on new technology options to improve customer service options for our customers. Mr. Shawn Boyle, Director, Finance and Administrative Services Department spoke on customer service issues and how the implementation of this new system would be a major improvement to customer service practices in many ways, such as improving the perception of how government can help; improving efficiency; and wanting to be able to do more. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 28 OF 31 Continuing with his comments, Mr. Boyle explained, "We're held captive to a bunch of third party Vendors right now - for our credit card processing, and several other things. One of the things we're looking at doing is bringing that in house, because we can control again the quality of the product; and we can also eliminate some costs by doing that too, so this is another step in that direction." Manager Smith added, "`Costs' is another word for `Convenience Fees' — we're looking to eliminate those." Mr. Boyle then remarked, "Give us the tolls, give us the technology and I promise you — we'll deliver. We will deliver what you guys want us to deliver and we will exceed your expectations." Furthermore, Mr. Boyle noted, "We truly are excited about this and - the phone system is the key to starting this whole process off. So, give us an opportunity. An ROI (Return On Investment), we'll come back and we'll show you the ROI (Return On Investment), both tangible and intangibles on top of it." Commissioner Bonner stated, "I have no question about the feature set or the intent or the end result. Absolutely spot on, and my compliments to the team in working that direction." Commissioner Bonner then inquired about the Vendor selection process and discussion followed on the RFP's (Request for Proposal) that were submitted. Manager Smith commented on the reality that often we receive Bids and RFP's (Request for Proposal) that perhaps may not include everything we requested. Discussion followed with Ms. Dalka who mentioned that the Vendor that Staff is recommending be awarded the Bid, is not in actuality the highest bidder "Is actually not, when you're comparing apples to apples." Mr. Alcala noted that one Vendor did not provide the number of handsets requested was roughly fifty percent (50%), and mentioned that a Bid did not include network switches. With such items not included in other submitted RFP's (Request for Proposal), Mr. Alcala explained, "If I have to provide that on my own, I will go out to State Contract, and this is what it is going to cost me. Again, one of the things we wanted to do was eliminate that two (2) Vendor situation where I go to one Vendor here, one Vendor there. If something doesn't work, they're pointing fingers at each other and I'm the one in the middle." Additionally, Mr. Alcala remarked, "The ironic thing we found out later on, after reviewing everything, Veytec was the only Vendor that actually downloaded the - RFP (Request for Proposal) - again, I think that speaks to — they got our vision of what we are trying to achieve I think. I think their Bid reflects that. Yes, you look at it and you are going, Joe (Alcala), they were the most expensive. But again, I think the vision that Shawn (Boyle) has talked about, that we've talked about, that Kevin (Smith) has talked about. I think that Vendor realized it and got it and saw what we were trying to achieve." Further comments followed on whether Veytec would be in business, down the road to further assist us. "I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KREBS. DISCUSSION. MANAGER SMITH ASKED IF THE COMMISSION HAD ENOUGH INFORMATION AND WERE COMFORTABLE WITH THE DECISION. COMMISSIONER BONNER STATED, "I AM COMFORTABLE DIRECTIONALLY AND CONCEPTUALLY. I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO SEE THE MULTI -PHASE PLAN AND SORT OF YOUR ROAD MAP OF HOW THIS IS GOING TO STITCH TOGETHER IN ANTICIPATION OF ADDITIONAL SPENDING IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS AND SORT OF THE TIME LINE THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT AS TO WHEN THE CUSTOMER BENEFITS BEGIN TO BE REALIZED. THIS IS A NECESSARY EVIL AS IT WERE TO REPLACE AN OUTDATED PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY." MANAGER SMITH STATED, "WE WILL DO THAT." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 29 OF 31 VOTE: COMMISSIONER BROWN: AYE DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY: AYE COMMISSIONER KREBS: AYE COMMISSIONER BONNER: AYE COMMISSIONER RESNICK: AYE MOTION CARRIED. PUBLIC INPUT Ms. Pam Carroll, 865 Dyson Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: commented on Consent Agenda Item "204", mentioned that no one from the City had responded to an email that she sent out yesterday related to this Agenda Item, and suggested that the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Committee should have been informed of the process, as they represent the citizens in the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District. Mayor Lacey, Members of the City Commission, and Manager Smith noted that they never received this email from Ms. Carroll. NOTE: After this meeting, the Information Services Department reported that an email from Ms. Carroll had been dropped by an Internet provider due to the excessive size of the email, thus no one in the City received the email. Much discussion. Mayor Lacey said that he did not think that the financing of this Debt reduction fell under the guidance of the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Committee and stated, "I am comfortable with the process." Commissioner Krebs remarked that she agreed with what Mayor Lacey had said, "We were on a roll with Shawn (Boyle) and Kevin (Smith) doing the best, absolute best job. I am so proud of you guys for what you have done, and continue to do, to bring savings like this and I thought it was really being welcomed." Ms. Carroll then spoke again about the email she sent and said she would check on what might have happened. Mayor Lacey added, "Make sure Andrea (Lorenzo-Luaces) is on your list to ensure that we get it." Further comments. Ms. Carroll then said, "I commend you on the end result however, the Advisory Committee is supposed to be the watchdog for the people who pay that Special Assessment; it's not the whole City." Tape 3/Side A With further discussion regarding Ms. Carroll's email, Commissioner Bonner said that we should check into this matter, and Ms. Carroll remarked, "I'll send it again." Commissioner Bonner then stated, "In regard to your comments specifically about the courtesy of alerting our citizen advisors, or at least the Chair of that organization to this undertaking, I do concur with your comment." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 30 OF 31 Continuing, Commissioner Bonner added that if Staff had contacted the Advisory Committee, that that would have been a nice courtesy, but "It was staff responding to a direction. They did follow proper procedure. They did do the diligence necessary to get us a good deal, and so on." Furthermore, Commissioner Bonner noted, `I certainly want to make sure we practice the best customer service possible; and in this case, I think that we fell short of our goal in providing good courteous customer service. And, I welcome your comments and I acknowledge what you are sharing with us and we can learn from this experience and do better next time. That doesn't take away from the success of the financial savings that have been awarded to the citizens because the proper diligence did take place." Deputy Mayor Hovey commented on the timeframe needed to get this rate. Ms. Carroll further commented on her concerns and added, "I definitely applaud the savings that were recognized, and the due diligence." Deputy Mayor Hovey further remarked, "We hear your concerns and it will be addressed." Commissioner Krebs added, "I think that the Staff acted totally appropriately. I think the problem is here is our Policies probably don't cover something like that and in fact that is how we operate, this is our standard operating procedure. We make that decision." Continuing, Commissioner Krebs noted, "Never in the past, really, not only have we not been in this situation, but have we had Policies where we contacted Special Assessment Boards or whatever Board; so, maybe that is something that we could go back and look at." Commissioner Resnick remarked, "I think Staff did exactly what we asked them to do. So, I think it is unfair to say Staff did not follow our direction, they did. We just weren't one hundred percent (100%) clear." Further comments. Commissioner Brown pointed out, "It was and only is, a courtesy that was missed. And I don't think it was a ball that dropped. I don't think it was a process not followed." Discussion. Commissioner Bonner mentioned that no Members of the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Committee Meeting had discussed this matter with him; and remarked, "I stand by my statement that we desire to practice excellent customer service and certainly our volunteer advisors are included in that aspirational goal that I for one, charge the Manager and Staff with, each and every day." Mayor Lacey said, "I want to express that none of this should diminish the feeling of accomplishment that Shawn (Boyle) and Steve (Richart, Urban Beautification Division Services, Community Development Department) and Kevin (Smith) should feel over pursuing this path and we appreciate them." Manager Smith voiced his concerns on the perception and the many efforts that Staff was working hard for the citizens in saving money, and commented on his integrity. Commissioner Krebs said to Manager Smith, "That is why we keep you employed here." Commissioner Brown added, "Yes." Commissioner Krebs then noted, "We just think you do a great job, and we thank you." Commissioner Brown remarked, "Thank you Kevin (Smith). Mayor Lacey added, "And you hire great people too." Deputy Mayor Hovey remarked, "Thanks to everyone!"
