TITLE
Final Budget Amendment for Fiscal Year 2020-2021
SUMMARY
The City is requesting that the Commission consider approval of Resolution
2021-16 amending the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget.
This agenda item is needed to amend the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget for
those funds which vary from the originally adopted budget. The vast majority
of the amendments are necessary for one of the following reasons:
. accrual of revenues and expenses in the appropriate fiscal period
• variations between budgeted (estimated) and actual expenditures and
revenues
• 2020-2021 agenda items with fiscal impact
The City Charter provides that the Commission may amend the budget by
resolution. Please note that only those funds requiring budget adjustment
are included herein.
Part of the normal course of operations at fiscal year-end is the accrual of
revenues and expenses. The accruals are necessary for aligning revenues
and expenses with the fiscal period to which they relate. It is also typical for
some variances between actual and budgeted expenses and revenues to
require budget adjustments. Furthermore, over the course of the fiscal year,
various agenda items are approved by the Commission. In some cases, those
approved agenda items lack specific language to amend the expenditure
budget or the appropriation to or from fund balance. This resolution
formalizes the fiscal impact of those actions.
This budget amendment allows for transfer to #140 Arbor Fund for urban
beautification and City forestry projects ($500k), transfer to the #303 Perk Up
Parks Capital Project Fund for future park initiatives/projects ($500k), transfer
to #130 Solid Waste/Recycling Fund to replenish storm reserve ($800k),
transfer to #305 Excellence in Customer Service Capital Project Fund for
customer service initiatives ($400k), transfer to #410 Water & Sewer Fund for
waste water emergency repairs ($500k), transfer to #411 Stormwater Fund
8
for engineering services - stormwater study and equipment needed for clean
up and upgrade - pending study ($350k).
Shown in Attachment 1 are the final budgeted ending fund balances for all
funds requiring amendment for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. Please note: these
are budgeted figures only, not to be confused with audited financial
statements which will be available by the end of March 2022. State statute
requires that the final budget amendment be formalized by November 29,
2021 [Section 166.241 F.S.].
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Commission consider approval of Resolution 2021-
16.

The Community Development Department, Planning Division requests that
the City Commission hold a Public Hearing to consider Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR) based amendments to the Comprehensive Plan
(Ordinance 2021-08), amending the Comprehensive Plan related to the
Recreation and Open Space Element.
SUMMARY
After June 2, 2011, local governments have had more discretion in
determining whether they need to update their local comprehensive plan. As
such, local governments no longer need to submit evaluation and appraisal
reports to the department for a sufficiency determination. Instead, local
governments must, at least every seven years, pursuant to Rule Chapter 73C-
49, Florida Administrative Code, determine whether the need exists to amend
the Comprehensive Plan to reflect changes in State requirements since the
last time the Comprehensive Plan was updated. The evaluation and appraisal
should address changes in state requirements since the last update of the
comprehensive plan and update the plan based on changes to local
conditions.
The attached documents include EAR based Comprehensive Plan
amendments, specifically to the Recreation and Open Space Element.
Subsequent EAR based amendments to other Comprehensive Plan Elements
will follow in the next few months during upcoming public hearings.
The revised language will allow the Element to come into full compliance with
the Evaluation and Appraisal Report that was due in 2017.
On October 14, 2021 the Local Planning Agency unanimously recommended
approval of the Element to the City Commission.
Fiscal Impact
The amendment is not expected to have any fiscal impact.

B. INTRODUCTION
The quality of life for Winter Springs' residents is linked - closely to the development and
management of a well-maintained, accessible system of public parks, trails and open space. The
City is well known for its award-winning Central Winds Park and the quality of recreational
programs and events offered there. Such facilities play a key role in shaping both the landscape
and the quality of life of Winter Springs' residents through the conservation of natural resources
and provision of recreational facilities. It is the intent of the City to provide an appropriate
balance of both active and passive recreation for the community. The quality of life for residents
of Winter Springs is not only linked to the availability of a well-maintained system of public park
and recreation facilities, but also to the quality of the natural resources they contain. Privately
managed parks, open space and facilities provide additional components of the open space and
recreational system serving City residents. As additional parks are developed, consideration for
the balance between conservation issues and the provision of active recreation becomes an
important ingredient in the park development process. The City's lead office in charge of parks
and recreational programs is the Parks and Recreation Department.
The purpose of this data is to identify existing and planned open space and recreation facilities,
review Level of Service (LOS) standards for these facilities, and analyze current and projected
park and recreational needs which support the Recreation and Open Space Element. The Element
includes specific goals, objectives, and policies to guide the provision of recreation and open
space facilities through the year 20302040.
C. INVENTORY OF EXISTING RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE FACILITIES
Parks conserve open space and natural resources and provide recreation opportunities. In
general, parks are categorized as being either activity-based or resource-based. Activity-based
parks provide user-oriented, recreation facilities designed for a specific purpose such as tennis,
basketball, softball or soccer, while resource-based parks utilize the natural environment to
provide more passive activities such as picnicking, hiking, fishing, swimming, or boating.
The City provides a wide range of recreation opportunities to its residents. The City's park
inventory includes numerous parks and recreational facilities where citizens can enjoy both active
and passive forms of recreation. (See Table VI-2: Inventory of Public Parks and Recreational
Facilities and Open Space, 2-9392020).
1. Public Parks and Open Space
The public park system within Winter Springs includes approximately ?8$�410.88 acres.
This acreage includes City-owned parks and open space, as well as State and County-
owned recreational facilities located within the City limits, such as the Cross Seminole Trail
Map VI-1 illustrates the public park system. Also included are Seminole County
facilities located near the City.
City parks have been classified in congruence with guidelines set forth in Florida's Statewide
Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan ( v8972019) published by the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection . The categories
utilized by the City include regional parks (State and County), community parks,
neighborhood parks, tot lots, urban plazas and squares, and open space. Only sites that
are publicly owned have been included in this section.
VI - 10
43
As noted on Table VI-2, many City parks offer both passive and active recreation
opportunities. Some examples are Central Winds Park, Ranchlands Park, and Sam Smith
Park, all of which offer active recreational facilities as well as passive areas for fishing
and picnicking.
a. Regional Parks
Regional Parks are large, resource-based parks serving more than two
communities and featuring outdoor recreation resources and facilities that
capitalize on and promote appreciation of the natural environment. Regional
parks should serve a population of over 100,000 (generally located within an
hour's driving distance of the park) and should range in size from a minimum of
250 acres to as much as several thousand acres. The City relies on the State and
the County for the provision and maintenance of regional parks.
There are numerous regional resource-based parks and wilderness areas
accessible to the City's residents (see Florida Managed Habitat Conservation
Areas Map located in the Conservation Element).

Trails (in or near Winter Springs):
A network of trails provides a range of economic, aesthetic, environmental and
recreation benefits to citizens of a community, beyond the benefits that accrue to
private landowners. A trails network can increase residential and commercial
property values, encourage the revitalization of declining area, attract tourist, and
provide an alternative to the use of automobiles that can help reduce traffic
congestion. The City has participated in regional trail planning and development
activities in recent years that have substantially increased access to trail
recreational opportunities for City residents.
Cross Seminole Trail
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Greenways and
Trails owns, and has sub-leased to Seminole County, the Cross Seminole Trail, a
portion of which is located in Winter Springs. The Seminole County Parks and
Recreation Department is in charge of maintaining the trail. An interlocal
agreement exists between the City and Seminole County regarding use and
maintenance of the Cross Seminole Trail. The City's Parks and Recreation
Department assisted with the design of the restroom facility located at the Black
Hammock Trailhead (State Road 434 at State Road 417 (Seminole Expressway),
and is responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the restroom facility.
The Cross Seminole frail begins at its connection to the Cady Way Trail just south of
Aloma and Howell Branch in Winter Park. It heads north for 23 miles where it connects
to the Seminole Wekiva Trail at the pedestrian bridge over Interstate 4 in Lake Mary.
The trail near and through Winter Springs -currently runs si through
Caa. a Read 426 if, downtown Oviedo to Layer Elementary in Winter Springs, where

Upon completion, the Cross Seminole Trail will be a
34.5 mile long continuous trail connecting Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Lake Mary,
Winter Springs, and Oviedo and connecting to the Cady Way Trail and the Orange
County Trail System. The trail will run from Spring Hammock Preserve in Winter
Springs to Howell Branch Road at the Orange County Line and will connect several
parks including: Central Winds Park,Soldier's Creek Park, Big Tree Park,Greenwood
Lakes Park, Sweetwater Creek Park, Lawton House Park, and Spring Hammock. The
trail lse-connect seven schools: Layer Elementary, Winter Springs High School,
Indian Trails Middle School, Keeth Elementary, Trinity Preparatory School, Oviedo

Florida National Scenic Trail
The Florida National Scenic Trail was congressionally established in 1983 and is
a hiking trail network that provides access to scenic wilderness areas. A portion
of the Cross Seminole Trail coincides with the Florida National Scenic Trail.
The Great Florida Birding Trail
The Great Florida Birding Trail is a program of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission,- supported- in- part- by-the- Florida Department
of Transportation and the Wildlife Foundation of Florida. In Seminole County, self-
guided designated trails are included at the Little-Big Econ State Forest, the Lake
Procter Wilderness Area, and the Geneva Wilderness Area.
Econlockhatchee River Paddling Trail
The Econlockhatchee River Paddling Trail is officially designated as part of Florida's
Statewide System of Greenways and Trails. Access to this scenic wilderness river is
provided via a canoe launch site beginning 2.5 miles northwest of Chuluota on
State Road 419 (only 1 1 miles driving distance from Winter Springs). The trail
winds eastward through 1 8-miles of forested flatlands, swamps, and pasture, and
eventually feeds into the St. John's River. This river flows northeasterly to its junction
with the St. Johns River where the trail ends 1.5 miles downstream (north) of the
confluence.
Bear Creek Nature Trail
Bear Creek Nature Trail, owned and maintained by the City, provides a passive
area with a .5 mile nature trail paralleling Bear Creek.
b. Community Parks
Community parks are defined as "ride to" parks that should be located near major
streets or arterials. Community parks are designed to serve the needs of four to
six neighborhoods that have residents within a radius of up to three (3) miles.
Typical facilities found in community parks are designed to serve all ages and
may include both passive and active recreation opportunities such as playground
areas, recreation buildings, sports fields, paved multipurpose courts, picnic areas,
open or free play areas, swimming pools, and landscaping. Community parks
include: Central Winds Park, Sunshine Park, Torcaso Park, Trotwood Park,
Blumberg Blvd. (Blumberg Park) and Veteran's Memorial in the Town Center
and; the Black Hammock Trailhead_,
Some parks may fall under more than one category. Most County parks are
considered community parks, but those that host national competitions and
tournaments can easily be classified as regional parks. Central Winds Park, located
on Lake Jesup, for instance, has been classified as a community park, due to its
geographic area and the type of recreational facilities and activities offered.
However, numerous civic festivals and special events are held in the park, drawing
citizens from all over Seminole County and the Central Florida area. For this reason,
Central Winds Park has been locally considered a regional park. This park offers
competition quality baseball, softball, and soccer fields, which are reserved for
league-play only, as well as basketball courts, volleyball courts, horseshoes,
VI - 15
48
playground, concession stand, the City's Parks & Recreation Office, and
restrooms. Additionally, a passive area located on the west side includes a fishing
area, pavilions, picnic grills, and an amphitheatre. A recent expansion to the park
added additional baseball, softball, and soccer/football fields, as well as lacrosse
fields and a dog park with large dog, small dog and training areas. Together,the
Central Winds Park and the expansion total 98.5 acres.
C. Special Use Facilities
Special use facilities are designed to serve the unique recreational needs of
certain population groups. The elderly are afforded the Senior Center Complex,
a 13,500 square foot facility, located at Sunshine Park. The complex was expanded
in 2007 and includes a new indoor therapy pool, a large multi-purpose room,
billiard/game room, kitchen, restrooms, arts and crafts room, conference room,
lounge area, and two offices. The therapy pool is one of only two public facilities
in the County. The center is operated by City staff and a senior organization.
Membership can be obtained for a reasonable fee. Members can utilize the Senior
Center to enjoy the following activities:
Arts & Crafts Dance Classes
Bingo Card Playing Lunch on Wednesdays
Charity Benefits Movies
Social Functions Medical Examinations
Computer Classes Exercise, Yoga & Tai Chi
Recreation Classes Billiarc
Senior Field Trips
The young are afforded the Civic Center Complex, a 4,000 square foot facility,
also located at Sunshine Park and connected to the Senior Center by a covered
breezeway. This facility includes a commercial type kitchen, restrooms, stage, and
dance floor. The Civic Center offers many recreational opportunities for the young,
including the Winter Springs Summer Youth Program. During the program, children
have the opportunity to participate in activities such as trips and tours, swimming,
arts and crafts, and outdoor games. Additionally, the Civic Center offers meeting
space for Boy/Girl Scouts, civic, religious and private organizations, charity
benefits, City meetings/training/parties, homeowners associations, etc. The Civic
Center Complex also offers rental of the facility for weddings, receptions and
parties.
Both the Senior Center and the Civic Center are wheelchair accessible.

d. Neighborhood Parks
Neighborhood Parks are "walk to" parks that are generally located along streets
where people can walk or bicycle without encountering heavy traffic. They serve
the population of a neighborhood in a radius of up to one-half (1/2) of a mile. A
neighborhood park size usually ranges from 2 to 10 acres. Typical facilities
provided include playground areas, recreation buildings, sports fields, paved
multi-purpose courts, picnic areas, open or free play areas, and landscaping.
Neighborhood parks include Moss Park, Sam Smith Park, Ranchlands Park, and
Bear Creek Nature Trail.
e. Mini-Parks and Tot-Lots
Mini-parks are small facilities that serve a concentrated or limited population, as
well as specific groups such as toddlers. Mini-parks include tot-lots and are
designed to serve the needs of a neighborhood within a radius of up to six (6)
blocks. A minimum of one half (1/2) acre for each stand-alone park is
recommended. Mini-parks primarily offer passive recreation and typical facilities
provided include playground areas, benches, open space, picnic tables, and
landscaping. Mini-parks include ,:a_ r;c Fruitwood Park, Winding Hollow,
Oak Hollow, Market Square and Magnolia Square.
Most of the neighborhood and community parks offer the facilities typically found
in tot-lots and mini-parks. Many homeowner associations include private
recreational facilities within their developments. In many cases, these serve as
private mini-parks to those residents.
f. Open Space
The term "open space" is widely used with a variety of meanings. However, its
meaning herein (and throughout the Comprehensive Plan) 5 take_ i_.._,. Rule 9:1 6
,is "undeveloped lands suitable for
passive recreation or conservation." Open space does not refer to land found in
medians, buffers, or retention areas.
In Winter Springs, most of the publicly-owned open space was conveyed to the
City at the time of subdivision platting, as "parks" or "parkland". However, most of
these areas are composed of undevelopable wetlands, such as the 69.5-acre
Tuscawilla Open Space donation. Winding Hollow subdivision also includes a
large 55-acre open space with only .5-acre in addition, available for active
recreation. Not all open space or conservation areas within Winter Springs are
owned by the City, many are privately owned. However, only City-owned open
space is inventoried within this Element and included on Table VI-2 (with one
exception - the Hickory Grove Park in the Town Center is included, but it is owned
by the State Office of Greenways and Trails).
g. Urban Plazas and Squares
"Urban plazas" or "squares" are small urban pocket parks which vary in size from
1/10-acre to several acres depending on their intended use. Their primary
function is to intersperse congested urban environments with aesthetically pleasing
VI - 17
50
areas for people to gather as groups or to sit individually. These plazas and
squares may contain benches and tables, commemorative structures, fountains, and
landscaping. Within the Town Center, numerous urban plazas and squares are
planned. Several have been completed and include: Blumberg Blvd., Market
Square, and a portion of Magnolia Square. Blumberg Blvd. also includes the
recently completed Veteran's Memorial, located at Tuskawilla Rd. and Blumberg
Blvd. Most of these urban plazas and squares will serve as mini-parks. However,
in some cases (such as Blumberg Blvd. (Blumberg Park) fie,.Veteran's Memorial
and the recently acquired pocket park along Michael Blake Blvd.), these facilities
serve as community parks because of the activities offered there and the
significance of the facilities.

D. EXISTING AND FUTURE PARKS AND RECREATION NEEDS
Recreational demands do not remain constant over time, but grow with population increases and
change as population demographics change. Attitudes and opinions can be drastically altered
from a shift in the demographic makeup of a community. Therefore, it is necessary to assess
recreational needs and future demands for facilities in order to plan for the future.
VI -26

I. Population Trends and User Needs
The City's population is �ejeefec--anticipated to increase by eyef 1 0,GGQby over 7,000
residents by2039 2040. According to the U.S. Census, the median age increased from
34 to 37 from 1990 to 2000 to 42 in 2010 and is estimated at 43 in 2017.E The
percentage of persons aged 65 or older increased from 9.2% to 10.8% eer *he seti
�iffie laeFiee.from i`NYU to 2000 ana continuea to increase to %.4"/0 of the population
according to the 2013-2017 American Community Survey (ACS) estimates. The prejeeteel
This trend is expected to continue
through the long-term planning period.
The City is well prepared to serve an aging population. During 2007, the City completed
a 9,200 square foot expansion of the Senior Center which added a new therapy pool
along with a large multi-purpose room. However, the City should continue to add
recreational facilities and programs which address the changing demographics of the City,
while continuing to support a wide variety of programs to serve all of its residents.
To accurately reflect changes in public demand, tools are needed to identify them. One
method is to survey the citizens for their input. The City has conducted several informal
surveys, many of which have not been documented. A City-wide survey was conducted in
1990. It questioned residents about the recreational activities they practiced on a
regular basis. The results showed that, at that time, residents wanted more playgrounds,
baseball fields, swimming pools, bike paths, and tennis courts. Since that time, the City has
added numerous playgrounds and baseball fields, and the State has added the Cross
Seminole Trail. This type of survey should be conducted regularly on a five-year basis to
maintain consistency and to monitor progress and changing demands.
An opinion survey of registered voters was completed in 2004, to explore interest and
support for a multi- purpose athletic facility and an aquatic center. The support was
greatest for the multi- purpose athletic center with 44 percent of those surveyed in support
of such a facility even if it increased property taxes, 21 percent opposed and 35
percent requiring more information. Support dropped slightly (40 percent) and opposition
increased (32 percent) for an aquatic center. Support fell further (36 percent) to a level
nearly equal with opposition (35 percent) when respondents were asked if they would
support both facilities with a combined tax increase necessary to support both facilities.
During the Winter Springs 2030 and Beyond survey in 2019. a number of questions focused
on parks and recreation and open space. Purchase of green space (i.e. natural lands) was
a top priority for residents. Comments strongly suggested including arts, culture and theatre
into recreation programming. Other comments included natural resource activities such as
fishing and biking, a community pool and providing for more facilities/fields for a variety of
sports. Willingness to fund facilities through increased taxes scored below a neutral rating
at 2.95. Comments made it evident that a tax increase was not truly the way to go.
Suggestions included looking in the budget for reallocation, user and event fees, partnership
with the high school, or finding other sources of funding. Proponents in sul2port of using tax
dollars to pay for recreation facilities provided comments that if there was an increase it
should be for specific projects vetted by the public and be primarily uses for natural areas,
arts/culture or an aquatic center. Not only did the option of "Funding for a Sporting Complex"
rate unfavorably (2.11 ), the comments provided were very clear that there are already
existing larger facilities throughout Seminole County and there are plenty of existing facilities
in the City. There were concerns about traffic, costs, and the large amount of greenspace
that would be lost. Additional comments also focused on the need for arts and culture
facilities. When asked about priorities for the City,the City-Wide Interconnected Trail System

ranked highest (35%), followed by the Lake Jesup Boardwalk (26%). The Aquatic Center
ranked next(20%), followed by the Library_(1 2%). Indoor Recreation was the lowest ranking
option (8%). In addition, during the development of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
2020, a recreational survey was administered to the residents.
2. Outdoor Recreation Planning Guidelines
Three types of guidelines are commonly used in outdoor recreation planning according to
Florida's Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (42 2019). The first type,
use guidelines, are employed as a means of stating the amount of use a resource or
facility can accommodate under certain conditions. The second type,,- population
guidelines, are used in determining the amount of resources and facilities that are required
to serve a given population. The third type- site guidelines, are used primarily for
estimating acreage needs for local parks and recreation areas and open space.
Many variations exist in outdoor recreation environments. Therefore, each jurisdiction must
determine for its planning purposes how these guidelines will best serve their interests and
in most cases develop their own guidelines.
Table VI-4 identifies the median value of the survey results for nine user--oriented
facilities for which information on use was collected.

Population guidelines are hypothetical estimates of the amounts of outdoor recreation
resources and facilities that are required to support a given population. Generally,
population guidelines make no distinction between the varying requirements of different
segments of the population, but are used to assess community recreational needs by
determining the minimum number of resources and facilities required to serve the local
population. When used in concert with facility use guidelines and park/open space site
guidelines, population guidelines can prove a useful tool in outdoor recreation planning.
Table VI- identifies guidelines for user-oriented
recreational activities.
Site guidelines are a set of general criteria for determining the specific types and amounts
of park lands necessary to accommodate the recreational needs of local communities. The
criteria define the acreage, facility type and service area requirements for various types
of community recreation sites and areas. They are most commonly used as a means of
expressing outdoor recreation needs, based on population guidelines. The site guidelines
described ;,; Table `" 6 We graphically applied to the City and depicted on Map VI-5.
The areas not served by existing parks primarily are parts of the City having larger lot
sizes in some cases, are areas still to be developed, such as the Greeneway Interchange
District.

Levels of Service (LOS) Standards
Level of Service (LOS) standards are a measure for determining the specific types and
amounts or acreage of parkland necessary to accommodate the recreational needs of a
local jurisdiction. Winter Springs has historically defined its LOS based on acreage per
1,000 residents.
To better reflect the growing needs of the City for parkland, and in support of the desire
for increased greenspace as further discussed under the major issue of "Population,
Density, and Greenspace" (2008 Evaluation and Appraisal Report), Winter Springs
increased the Overall Parkland LOS acreage from 5 acres per 1,000 residents to 8 acres
per 1,000 residents.
Additionally, a LOS for Open Space has been implemented. This LOS has been set at 4
acres per 1,000 residents to encourage the provision of public open space in Winter
Springs. Table VI-1 illustrates the existing park and open space acreage through
2QW2040, based on LOS standards.
