No Report was given.
REPORTS
601. Office of the City Manager — Kevin L. Smith
City Manager Kevin L. Smith remarked on the ongoing workshops related to land use issues and noted
that Staff was actively working with the direction previously provided by the City Commission.
However, given the voluminous nature of the task, Manager Smith noted, "They are not ready with that
entire package — which is huge." Furthermore, Manager Smith wondered if the City Commission
preferred for the information to be provided collectively or in phases and mentioned that Mr. Tim
McClendon, AICP, Director, Community Development Department also planned to provide the City
Commission with the proposed survey questions for consideration.
Deputy Mayor Cannon acknowledged the extensive scope of the work regarding land use issues that
needed to be done and mentioned other topics that needed discussion such as construction waste.
Manager Smith noted that arbor issues was another item that needed to be addressed.
Manager Smith commented, "Maybe we let Anthony (Garganese) and Tim (McClendon) continue the
work on the initial project; we come back with a discussion on construction waste, a Phase 1 discussion
on arbor, and I would ask for a discussion also on a Commission review of the survey questions. Is that
a meeting that I could get Consensus on?"
Discussion continued.
Commissioner Kendrick expressed agreement with Deputy Mayor Cannon's comments on arbor and
construction waste however he cautioned against getting off track. Manager Smith noted, "To be clear,
we are working on the initial direction from our initial Workshop. That is a very voluminous task."
Manager Smith continued, "The options are A, to come forward with that incomplete, but to start taking
it in in phases, or option B, is to wait and get it complete and then still take it in phases. I'm suggesting
now, based on the Deputy Mayor's comments which I tend to agree with, that we don't address the
items that were brought forth at the first Workshop. We continue to let Tim (McClendon) and Anthony
(Garganese) work on that. Rather we come back with a 4/1 [/2019] Workshop and discuss construction
waste."
Furthermore, Manager Smith noted, "The second item for discussion would be something we've been
talking about for several months, which is Arbor. That being a very detailed discussion, it would
probably be just a start of that discussion, just get some input to go from there. And the third item
would be my request for you to also take a look at the survey questions."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 14 OF 19
Deputy Mayor Cannon suggested that his preference was that Attorney Garganese and Mr. McClendon
come to the City Commission when they have a finished product rather than piecemeal. Manager Smith
acknowledged this and added, "Even in doing that, at the point in time Anthony (Garganese) and Tim
(McClendon) are complete, when we bring that forward, it will still require multiple meetings."
Commissioner Ted Johnson spoke of the Workshop Agenda and Public Input, which Manager Smith
said that Public Input would as always be included.
Commissioner TiAnna Hale expressed her agreement, mentioned some research that she had conducted,
and passed out some related visioning information highlighting community involvement.
Manager Smith asked, "Before we move on, do I have Consensus on the format for the April 1
Workshop?" Mayor Lacey noted, "I think so." No objections were noted.
Next, Manager Smith pointed out, "As you also may recall, we had some significant discussion last time
about public involvement and I had suggested that we do something that's often done, and as a matter of
fact, we did it here about ten (10) years ago when I started, and it's typical to do such when you have a
significant change on the dais be it at the administrative level or at the policy making level." Manager
Smith then explained that the Institute of Government facilitated the sessions and then he mentioned
some of the attendees.
Continuing, Manager Smith noted, "It seemed to be a very involved and very productive meeting and
my suggestion is that we go back to the Institute of Government at UCF and ask them to facilitate a
similar workshop which again is - just to give you a little bit of an overview of what it entails, it's a
very, very customer driven approach." Manager Smith went on to give examples of some of the many
activities that were held during the last Visioning Sessions.
Furthermore, Manager Smith noted, "At the end of the day that was put into a report that was an
appendix, and was a huge part of the strategic plan that I developed some ten (10) odd years ago which
has been completed."
Manager Smith added, "So, if that is something that may have some synergy or tie into what you have
there Commissioner Hale, then what we're working on now with the Commission's blessing is Tim
(McClendon) has reached out to the Institute of Government." Manager Smith mentioned that City Staff
is waiting to hear back about some possible dates, hopefully in April or May which would then be
provided to the Mayor and City Commission for consideration, and also noted that Staff would market
the event on social media. Deputy Mayor Cannon said that he personally would prefer an April date for
the Visioning Session(s).
Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "My understanding is this is this Visioning process is going to focus
primarily on the Land Use issues or is it going to include everything from budgetary and personnel?"
Manager Smith responded, "It's more geared towards Land Use, it would be but it would get down to
the nitty-gritty if you will" and would encompass what people would like and what they would not like.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 15 OF 19
Deputy Mayor Cannon asked if the City needed to consider a larger venue for the Visioning Sessions to
which Manager Smith mentioned that last time, City Hall was used and everything worked out fine. It
was then noted that with the recent renovations at City Hall, the logistics should work even better this
time around.
Deputy Mayor Cannon was in agreement and suggested this be finalized so residents could be notified.
Commissioner Kendrick explained that he and Mayor Lacey had been in touch with the Institute of
Government and that based on their current schedule, the months of May or June may actually be when
they have available openings.
In terms of a Consensus, Mayor Lacey asked the City Commission, "Any dissent from anyone to the
path that the City Manager's got?" No objections were voiced. Manager Smith added, "We'll certainly
bring back the closest date that we possibly can, so we can get this thing moving."

604. Office of Commissioner Seat One - The Honorable Jean Hovey
Commissioner Jean Hovey asked about the format of the visioning survey to which Manager Smith
indicated, "Internet based." Brief remarks followed on marketing which would also include social
media.
Next, Commissioner Hovey spoke about increasing access to meeting agenda items on the City's
website. Assistant to the City Clerk DeJesus noted that this was in the works.
Continuing her Report, Commissioner Hovey mentioned the Trotwood Pavilion being dedicated to the
late Commissioner Pam Carroll. While acknowledging that honor, Commissioner Hovey noted that
former Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs had served much longer as a member of the City Commission
and also as a Board Member and asked where we were in terms of honoring others.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MARCH 25, 2019 PAGE 16 OF 19
Manager Smith responded that such dedications typically came from City Commission directives,
referenced some past examples, and pointed out, "If there is direction to do so, we'll certainly bring
something back."
Deputy Mayor Cannon suggested that he would ask that . Staff bring some recommendation to the City
Commission to include input from Mr. Chris Caldwell, Director, Parks and Recreation Department and
his Staff. Manager Smith added that Staff was working on a project at Central Winds Park that for
discussion purposes, could be called a "Walk of Fame". Manager Smith said that he understood the
interest in possibly recognizing a long standing Elected Official like former Commissioner Joanne M.
Krebs in a more distinct manner.
With further remarks about current and future projects, Manager Smith added that the City could "Come
up with something that would be worthy of the recognition of - the longest standing..." Deputy Mayor
Cannon noted, "...Very supportive of that idea." Deputy Mayor Cannon then suggested that Staff could
bring back some different options for the City Commission to consider.
Summarizing, Mayor Lacey asked, "Any objection from the Commission to the City Manager bringing
back just a laundry list of available topics?" Commissioner Kendrick and Commissioner Hovey stated,

REPORTS
605. Office of Commissioner Seat Two/Deputy Mayor - The Honorable Kevin Cannon
Deputy Mayor Cannon referenced past discussions regarding the City being more proactive in lobbying
for more funds. Deputy Mayor Cannon noted that Winter Springs' resident David Smith who had
recently been elected to the Florida House of Representatives had assisted the City of Oviedo and the

funds for their wastewater plant.

ways to reach out to Representative David Smith and others for assistance in advancing spending bills
for funding City capital projects.
Secondly, Deputy Mayor Cannon recalled a visit to Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and mentioned that
this community had effectively blended big businesses with the aesthetics of their town center. Deputy

That's the honest answer, and to expand on that just a little bit more, it's been significantly complicated
by recent actions relative to ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements."

REPORTS

Commissioner Kendrick hoped that everyone had a good Spring Break.
Next, Commissioner Kendrick commended Ms. Lena Rivera, P.E., D.WRE, Director, Public
Works/Utilities Department and Mr. Boyle for their efforts in repairing a damaged part of the Oak

and his Department's efforts and pointed out that the City of Winter Springs was named one of the safest
cities in Florida. Commissioner Kendrick further offered his thanks to Chief Brunelle, Captain Matt
Tracht, Operations Bureau, Police Department, and all of the staff of the Winter Springs Police
Department and added, "For your work, your service and everything you do."
Continuing with his Report, Commissioner Kendrick then referenced a proposed development that did
not move forward through the review process
Mr. (Bryant) Smith spoke of a potential retail project which did not meet set -back requirements and
other criteria and did not materialize.
Commissioner Kendrick referenced another possible retail project, and asked if there had been any other
recent Applications to which Mr. (Bryant) Smith said there had not been any multi -family Applications
and mentioned a medical office which was going through the review process.
Furthermore, Commissioner Kendrick mentioned a proposed Moratorium, and hoped we would not miss
any Application opportunities, and remarked, "We don't want to miss any more opportunities that this
potential Moratorium might make and since there are no other Applications, what I propose is shelving
what we are talking about as far as C-1, C-2 or Special Exceptions - it is very redundant and it is very
confusing and say a one (1) year Moratorium on multifamily, all definitions of multifamily in Winter
Springs and get it behind us." Discussion continued.
Deputy Mayor Cannon remarked about rules of procedure for City Commission meetings. With further
comments, Deputy Mayor Cannon spoke of Pre -Application development meetings, and whether any
Developers had told Staff that a proposed Moratorium was causing any issues, to which none were noted
by Staff. Discussion.

multifamily housing. Mayor Lacey noted he did not see a Consensus.
