RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission conduct a public hearing and consider, at its
discretion, passing Ordinance No. 2019-01 on First Reading amending the City Commission Rules
and Procedures (Sec. 2-27, City Code) regarding agenda items and reports; specifically expressly
permitting the mayor and any city commissioner to place a matter on a City Commission agenda
for timely consideration and action.
REGARDING THE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 2019-01, "MOTION TO READ BY
`TITLE' ONLY." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HOVEY. SECONDED BY DEPUTY
MAYOR CANNON. DISCUSSION.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH NO OBJECTIONS.
Attorney Garganese read Ordinance 2019-01 by "Title" only.
Discussion followed on whether Elected Officials would need to request an Agenda Item in advance to
go on a City Commission Agenda or just any time an idea came up, and that perhaps ideas for Agenda
Items should first be brought up at a City Commission meeting for full transparency. Comments
followed that previous discussions implied that any matter that an Elected Official wanted to have on an
Agenda Item would face the same time deadlines that Staff complied with, and requests for Agenda
Items would all go through the City Manager.
Deputy Mayor Cannon noted that he thought there was an error and that the "Regular" Agenda should
be stipulated. Continuing, Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "It is paragraph (b) under the draft Ordinance;
Sec. 2-27. (b) — the second or third line should say, `have the right to have a matter placed on the
Regular Agenda for timely consideration'..."
Further remarks continued on transparency and logistics. Mayor Lacey asked the City Manager,
"Practically speaking, when does a Commissioner need to get an Agenda Item to you in order for it to go
through your process? Keep in mind, we are talking about a Regular Agenda Item."
City Manager Kevin L. Smith stated, "I would need it in time for me to prepare an Agenda Item which
again, should be relatively quick." Further, Manager Smith added, "Depending on the amount of time
that it would take me to research, to prepare that Agenda Item, I would need to have the Agenda Item by
5 o'clock on that Friday." Discussion continued.
Manager Smith then briefly addressed the Agenda process and timelines to which he said, "I would ask
that there be a clear understanding that if something is brought to me, that it may not make it on the
subsequent Agenda. Again, we've discussed that before and I — think everybody was very agreeable to
that." With further remarks, Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "I think `timely' covers it."
Mayor Lacey opened "Public Input" on this Agenda Item.
No one spoke.

Regarding the progress of the Cross Seminole Trail exchange that Attorney Garganese brought up,

REPORTS
604. Office of Commissioner Seat Two/Deputy Mayor - The Honorable Kevin Cannon
Deputy Mayor Cannon commented that he also was ready for the upcoming Scottish Highland Games
and offered his thanks for the Proclamation.
Next, Deputy Mayor Cannon said he had attended an event at the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars of
the United States) where a high school student and middle school students were recognized for their
essays on citizenship and suggested they be invited to a future City Commission meeting.
Deputy Mayor Cannon mentioned he thought it was time to recognize former Commissioner Pam
Carroll and her many contributions as it would soon be one (1) year after her death, and mentioned that
Trotwood Park could be renamed in recognition of her service to Winter Springs.
Mayor Lacey suggested this be placed on a future Agenda, and that the City Manager could bring forth
various possible recommendations for the City Commission to consider. Commissioner Ted Johnson
said he was in agreement.
Commissioner Hovey pointed out that former Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs also contributed much
over many years in various capacities, as well as other individuals, Board and Committee Members, and
City Staff, and that in the past, the City Commission had discussed how to honor such individuals.
Continuing the discussion, Commissioner Geoff Kendrick agreed with Mayor Lacey's suggestion that
the City Manager look into this and bring back some ideas for the City Commission to consider.
Commissioner TiAnna Hale concurred and noted that people had also approached her.
Mayor Lacey inquired, "Is there any disagreement to having this come back as an Agenda Item?"
Deputy Mayor Cannon stated, "No." There were no dissenting comments.
Furthermore, Mayor Lacey remarked, "I think we need to be clear as to whether we specifically want to
look only at Trotwood or look at a wider variety of options." Furthermore, Mayor Lacey inquired, "Is
there any objection to us asking for the Agenda Item to come back with a range of options and
discussion of past procedures in this regard?" Commissioner Cannon commented, "I am fine with a
range of options. I think that is what I heard up here, was that we don't want to necessarily limit it to
one (1) thing." Commissioner Hovey stated, "Right."
Manager Smith added that Staff had been working on ideas for recognizing former Commissioners as
well as former employees and briefly commented on them.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 16 OF 19
Mayor Lacey proposed that a discussion could be held regarding what Staff had been considering and
then receive input from the City Commission, which might result in more specific options that the City
Commission could request. Additionally, Mayor Lacey suggested, "Take any recommendations out of it
and let us just call it a discussion, on an Agenda Item." Manager Smith asked that the City Commission
consider what Staff had been working on and offer their input. Mayor Lacey noted, "I don't hear any
disagreement." Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "Different options that we can consider."
Manager Smith then said, "As far as bringing it back timely - I know generally what the next Agenda
looks like Mayor, so if I get the chance to as always, to program it in on the appropriate Agenda with the
caveat that the thought we had for Pam (Carroll) is somewhat time sensitive - and so I'd want to get that
back in the next Agenda or two (2)." Mayor Lacey stated, "Standard rules apply unless the Commission
says otherwise."
Next, Deputy Mayor Cannon asked when Workshops regarding the Temporary Moratorium could be
held. Manager Smith mentioned the current timeline related to the proposed Ordinance related to a
Temporary Moratorium and suggested that Workshops could be considered for the off Mondays (as
applicable) after the Second Reading in February 2019.
Mayor Lacey suggested Monday, February 18'', 2019 could tentatively be the first date for a Workshop.
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Cannon mentioned that he would like to know how other authorities deal
with similar things.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - JANUARY 14, 2019 PAGE 17 OF 19

recognition of Mr. Joseph Pavone, Winter Springs High School as their Teacher of the Year.

Pen youth essay contest, 2nd Place was awarded to Ava Barhorst an 81h grade student at Tuskawilla
Middle School and Yd Place was won by Noel Keller, also an 81h grade student at Tuskawilla Middle
School.
Next, Commissioner Hale mentioned a former City Commission directive given to Staff regarding self -
storage and asked what would be the best way to have Staff stop working on this. Brief discussion.
Mayor Lacey suggested that what would be most appropriate would be to "Ask for an Agenda Item that
comes back that specifically addresses that item." Mayor Lacey then inquired, "Is there Consensus of
the Commission to direct Staff to bring back an Agenda Item to basically change the previous direction
regarding self -storage."
With further comments, Mayor Lacey suggested, "I think we are just talking about a Regular Agenda
Item that is short and simple to rescind the previous action." Commissioner Kendrick and Deputy
Mayor Cannon noted their agreement. Manager Smith remarked, "Understood." With no disagreement
voiced, Mayor Lacey added, "I think you have unanimous consent for that."
Lastly, Commissioner Hale asked if City Commission meetings could be livestreamed/videoed and
could this be discussed. Remarks followed on costs, ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
requirements, and the current audio of our City Commission meetings.
Manager Smith added, "Mayor, Commissioners, if you'd like me to bring back an Agenda Item for
discussion on this topic — is that what I'm hearing?" Deputy Mayor Cannon noted, "Yes."
Commissioner Hale remarked, "Just discussion." Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "Just to see what the
costs would be." Commissioner Hale then said, "I am just asking if we could just discuss - what it
would look like, and what the costs would be."

was no dissent noted.
