Office Of The Mayor And City Commission/City Manager Presentation By Seminole County Commissioner Bob Dallari. Seminole County Commissioner Bob Dallari, 1101 East First Street, Sanford, Florida: explained, "The reason for this Program is for economic enhancement. It improves the environment and the quality of life -what this Program does is it enhances capital investment; it does job creation; it does a tax base and increases the tax revenue; and provides redevelopment and economic effects. It better utilizes the community resources. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -FEBRUARY 1 ], 2008 PAGE 2 OF 26 The core of this Program, from the State perspective as well as the Federal perspective is a Brownfield site and Brownfield area designation. It's a designation. We're not categorizing it as that. What the State allows us is to do is to rename it because it does have a negative connotation; and we decided to rename this program as the S.E.E.D. (Seminole Economic Enhancement District) Program. It has more of a positive, proactive connotation to it." Seminole County Commissioner Dallari then stated, "I would like to before I move too much further, with the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency), Robert Miller of your Commission was also a part of that. I would like to thank Robert Miller publicly for the hard work that he has done on that." Next, Seminole County Commissioner Dallari noted, "This is basically a Brownfield designation. We're not actually categorizing it as Brownfield. It does bonus tax refunding for new job creations, up to twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) per job. If you are in this corridor, there is an actual form you have to fill out so that if you have a particular type of job, in a particular salary range you can actually qualify for that if .you are bringing those types of jobs into that Brownfield or S.E.E.D. (Seminole Economic Enhancement District) Program. It does guaranteed Loans, up to fifty percent (50%) of the Loans are guaranteed for a rehabilitation of development and also seventy-five percent (75%) for Affordable Housing. The real interesting part about it - it actually gives you back the sales tax for Affordable Housing if you do twenty percent (20%) of the Project which is Affordable." Commissioner Rick Brown asked Seminole County Commissioner Dallari, "Are there requirements on what types of properties could be declared a redevelopment area?" Seminole County Commissioner Dallari responded, "Basically, what we have done with the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency), which is up and down (US Highway) 17-92, we've used the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) boundaries as that corridor. The City of Winter Springs could easily do the Town Center." Furthermore, Seminole County Commissioner Dallari added, "The only cost to the City is going to be the Staff cost and the publicizing it." Mr. John Metsopoulos, US 17-92 CRA Program Manager, Seminole County, 1055 AAA Drive, Suite 145, Heathrow, Florida: noted, "The City could opt out of the five hundred dollar ($500.00) match. They do not have to do the five hundred dollar ($500.00) match." City Manager Ronald W. McLemore said to Mr. Metsopoulos, "The eligibility criteria, you were going to get me copies of that." Mr. Metsopoulos responded, "I will get those to you tomorrow, via email."

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -FEBRUARY 11, 2008 PAGE 22 OF 26 REGULAR 604. Not Used. REGULAR 605. Parks And Recreation Department Requesting The City Commission To Consider Approval Of A Financial Partnership For A "Live After Five" Town Center Event And Latin Jazz Fest For Winter Springs. Mayor Bush asked Mr. Chuck Pula, Director, Parks and Recreation Department, "Have you talked with the Merchant's Association -the Winter Springs Town Center Merchant's about this?" Mr. Pula introduced this Agenda Item for discussion. Commissioner Krebs mentioned the May 16`h, (2008) date and the Relay for Life - Winter Springs Event and suggested that this "Could work in conjunction with them". Commissioner Krebs then added, "We have to find a way to cover the charges on these, not through Citizen's pockets. We have got to find sponsorships, and I do not know if that means hiring somebody to help with this or what we need to do." Mr. Kim McFadden, Event Sales Director, WLOQ, Gross Communications Corporation, 2301 Lucien Way, Suite 180, Maitland, Florida: addressed the City Commission and explained, "Why we are asking for some help as a partnership for our June 71h, (2008) Event, is we thought we would kind of take a similar approach to the Scottish Highland Games where we would come in and do an Event basically for free at the Town Center, and that would be the May 16t", (2008) Event. In exchange for us doing that Event for free, bringing in the sound, the lights, the stage, the talent, promoting it quite heavily on the radio station, getting people here -we're going to also be tying in Nemours, they're going to be doing a kids obstacle race at that point - we thought that would be a great Event for the City. So, we saw that as a potential trade-off to help us with our expense on June 7~', (2008)" Commissioner Brown asked Mr. Pula, "Who at the Chamber have you been talking to about formulating a partnership to cover the costs so it doesn't come out of the City Budget?" With discussion, Commissioner Brown added, "I think advertising it through the Chamber would probably get us a considerable amount of business coverage, that would drop the cost of this to the City if it ends up being any cost to the City." Discussion. Tape 3/Side A CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -FEBRUARY 1 I, 2008 PAGE 23 OF 26 Commissioner Miller said to Mr. McFadden, "So you will be able to substantiate your outlay -advertising, all those type things?" Commissioner Miller added, "So, the Town Center I think kind of pays for itself. I do not really have a problem with that. I subscribe to the City Manager's argument that it brings business to the Town Center." With discussion on the June 7~', (2008) Event, Commissioner Miller said to Mr. McFadden, "That is not even shown here?" Mr. McFadden stated, "Correct. We were trying to establish the value of us doing an Event for free for the City, in exchange for the services; and we thought the sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000.00) we would bring to the table would offset those services." Commissioner Miller noted, "I would feel much more comfortable if you make a guestimate, if you have done this before - I would like to see this brought back, maybe at the next Commission Meeting." Commissioner Miller added, "I would like to see it brought back with some estimate of what you think the revenue would be for yourself, for the Central Winds Park Event." Mr. McFadden noted that, "Event `A' is a loss." Manager McLemore asked about other Latin Events and the related turn-out history; and asked, "Does there have to be two (20 Events? Would you be willing to work with the Association and Town Center and simply putting on an Event in the Town Center." Mr. McFadden stated, "We're most interested in Event `B'." With discussion on other Latin Festivals, Commissioner Brown suggested, "I think the economic advantage to the City is huge if we can put some real numbers around it, and anticipate what exactly is going to be on the table and what is not. So -maybe it would be worthwhile to have Chuck (Pula) do a little research on what the Orlando Event brings as far as participants, what we might be able to estimate as far as income and from that, we can extrapolate what the economic impact may be for the surrounding businesses in the community and what we are going to have to pay, outlay and -maybe we can sharpen those partnership numbers a little bit; since it is a revenue positive situation for WLOQ, maybe we can look at some other ways of tracking that City commitment number." Manager McLemore suggested, "Maybe we could explore would be a profit sharing arrangement..." Commissioner Brown added, "...And a stronger business partnership between the Chamber and the other local businesses." Mr. McFadden noted, "We're not making huge amounts of money here." Commissioner Krebs asked about the proposed May 16t", (2008) date and noted a possible conflict, "Unless you got with Relay for Life..." Mr. McFadden stated, "...Perhaps there is a fit there." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -FEBRUARY 11, 2008 PAGE 24 OF 26 Mayor Bush stated, "I kind of like Mr. McLemore's idea there of may be a shared risk situation there with the Park and also maybe the Chamber would get in on that too; maybe even the Merchant's Association -there could be a lot of partnerships you might be able to put together for this." Partnerships and Sponsorships were discussed next. Mayor Bush noted, "I think Mr. McLemore basically said that he feels the direction of the Commission is to explore this further; look at some of the other entities that might help offset the costs of the City's money." Commissioner Miller suggested there be "More complete data from your side also - attendance -for both." Commissioner Miller added, "I think you know what we are looking for, in terms of justification." Discussion. "I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT THE MANAGER MOVE FORWARD AND EXPLORE THE ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP HERE -THE IDEAS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP ON THE DAIS THIS EVENING AND BRING IT BACK TO US -WHAT, NEXT MEETING?" MANAGER McLEMORE STATED, "TOWN CENTER ASSOCIATION, THE CHAMBER?" COMMISSIONER KREBS ADDED, "YES, AND ANY OTHER SPONSORSHIP THAT YOU MIGHT THINK MIGHT BE INTERESTED, WHETHER IT BE PROGRESS ENERGY OR NEMOURS OR ONE OF THOSE." MAYOR BUSH SUGGESTED, "THAT OFFICE BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET..." COMMISSIONER KREBS ALSO SAID, "...THE OFFICE BUILDING ACROSS THE STREET." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER KREBS.
