S.R. 434 Winter Springs, Fl. 32708 Dear City Manager; As per the previous telephone conversations between yourself and Dr. Wilson, our goal is to place a sign in front of our business. We have made request be- fore and were informed of certain zone and planning codes that would prevent such a sign. We realize that the ordinances are made to protect the public and to protect the beauty of the city. However, we feel there is a need also for convenient medical care for the community. Functioning as a walk-in clinic, we feel that a sign that is comparable to the Barnett Bank sign next door or comparable to a Centra- Care or Humana Med-First would lend credibility to our corporation. We feel our services to the community are also valuable. I see no other walk-in clinic in the immediate area. The viability of the clinic rest on the credibility we feel we will receive as a benifit of the sign. The visibility of the clinic from the west side is completly obstructed until you are right in front of the Winter Springs Center. Our visibility from the east is much better, yet the traffic from that direction is of a much less degree. Dr. E.D. Wilson is willing to present our point of view at your meeting Monday the 9th if you would allow us that courtesy. We wish you would reconsider your previous stand and allow a sign that will in no way obstruct or interfere with traffic or other business. Thank-you for your consideration. Drawings of a proposed sign will be brought to the meetIng. EmergiMedical Center Cherri K. Tetley R.N. Clinic Manager fh).f:.I,:ffce g ilW ~~ I~t' ~ ~ llJ FES G 1937 ,.-.

FLORIDA 32708 Telephone (305) 327.1800 MEMO: February 9, 1987 TO: City Manager SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant In 1984 the City was first approached by Seminole County to sign an inter local agreement permitting them to include our, and the other cities', population to aggregate the 200,000 population needed to qualify as an urban county and be eligible for Community Development Block Grant entitlement status. Although our countywide total population fell just short that year, by 1985 it surpassed 200,000 and Seminole County was notified we would receive approximately $4,000,000 over the three-year period 1986-87, 1987-88, and 1988-89. The communications from the County government referred to projects in both the unincorporated area and the cities to be funded from the grant monies. I Preparation of an application to HUD for the 1986-87 grant year was delayed until the summer of 1986, ostensibly because it was uncertain up to that time whether Congress would appropriate CDBG funds for this fiscal year. When our Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was called together to develop a proposed list of projects for 1986-87 funding, County staff suggested we proceed with projects for which technical and budgetary data were already available. The TAC is composed of one delegate from each city and one county staff person- eight equal members. We compi led a proposal mainly of existing, dusted-off applications that had originally been prepared for submittal in connection with other grants or projects. Since the application to HUD needed to be reviewed by two committees and approved by the BCC by September 1986, there was little time to do otherwise. Our TAC-generated proposed list of projects was reviewed by a Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) made up of residents of neighborhoods that could benefit from CDBG projects. Winter Springs designated two target areas - the original North Orlando Townsite and Meadowlark - and appointed two persons to the CAC. The CAC reviewed the TAC proposal and several projects were added to the list by the cities, including us and Longwood. - MEMO City Manager February 9, 1987 Page 2 The next review was by the Citizen Advisory Board, composed again of eight people, one citizen from each city and the County. This Board preferred to submit on to the BCC a first-year funding list consisting almost entirely of projects in the unincorporated areas, with only 20 percent of the grant money to be spent within any city limits - Oviedo and Casselberry ($250,000 as apposed to $1,030,000 in the County). Sanford was excluded until "it had a track record" on the housing rehabilitation program it asked to be funded. Winter Springs' and Longwood's projects were summarily deleted during a recess in the CAB meeting by the consultant hired by the County to prepare the first year grant application. He decided they were ineligible. The BCC approved the list forwarded to it by the CAB and those projects are now being initiated. Attached is a list and a map of the 1986-87 projects funded by the CDBG. Late last year Seminole County hired a Grant Coordinator to administer the CDBG program. Also, he is the County member on the TAC. The TAC met January 8, 1987, to organize and begin work on a proposed project list for the 1987-88 grant year. At that meeting we were advised the Census data we would need to ascertain low-to- moderate income areas eligible for projects was in and would be mailed to us. Also, the Coordinator indicated. he had a copy of the CDBG Rules and Regulations governing project eligibility. We were asked to be ready to prioritize a proposed 1987-88 project list by a February 5 meeting. I received the Census data January 19 and had only a reference to the 1983 Federal Register in which the CDBG regs had been printed. We have now acquired a copy from the County. At the February 5 meeting - the County's Coordinator, rather than ask for the eight members' suggestions - began by telling us what projects he thought should be funded this year: $600,000 for Sanford for housing rehabilitation and funds for construction of several paving and drainage projects in the unincorporated areas. When asked why he was adding up funds before hearing the rest of.our suggestions, he responded that here was $200,000 or $300,000 left and that it wasn't necessary to do a project in every city. When it was pointed out to him that the entitlement period is for 15 years but the current interlocal agreement is only for 3 years, and that the cities would have little incentive to continue to support the County by renewing the interlocal agreement, he stated that by that time the County wouldn't need them, by then (1988) the County would have adequate population to qualify even if a couple of cities dropped out. ... MEMO City Manager February 9, 1987 Page 3 After some further discussion we noticed the time was late and no real consensus had been reached. Most of the cities had not yet had an opportuni ty to offer suggestions for projects. The Coordinator indicated he had to have a TAC - proposed list as soon as possible. I asked for another meeting before we finalized the list since there was much left to discuss and since the CAC review committee is not to meet until March 19, suggesting that it is more important for the TAC to have adequate time for its deliberations than for the County staff to have six weeks before the CAC meeting. It was agreed to meet again February 17. Casselberry's representative offered a proposal that would fund projects in each jurisdiction. Lake Mary's representative had thought he would have no eligible project simply because he had not been made aware of all the cri teria to qualify a project, other than income alone. Winter Springs can propose one of several projects that are eligible based on the information we now have on our low-to-moderate income population and on the CnBG rules and regulations. ~- /--- By the meeting on(~~!~!~Jl~.!:.Y_J,1> I will need to submit just a description of the project and an estimated cost/dollar request. More elaborate details can be developed before the CAC meeting on March 19. The eligibility of a project in Winter Springs will be unquestionable. The matter of whether an eligible project in Winter Springs should receive funding, and how much, in competition with other eligible projects is the present question. r!:::~~ Director of Administration/City Planner JKjmh ':~\~~~t:?~~~mIIIlIfB'f-"--~.""'" r--~.

FLORIDA 32771 Jacqueline Koch City of Winter Springs 1126 S.R. 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 Dear T.A.C. Member, This letter is subsequent to our meeting on January 8, 1987 and, as promised, includes certain information. Included is the following: 1) Block level census data 2) Amended potential projects list for 1987/88 CDBG Program Year. 3) List of ineligible projects previously proposed. I have made copies of. the block level data, being careful to forward to each city those pages which pertain to each respec- tive city. For instance, Sanford will receive only those pages which contain blocks that are located within Sanford's city limits (per 1980). As you will notice, each city has a place code for identification (far left hand column). The place codes are as follows: 15 310 1144 1250 1615 1920 2291 (Blank) Altamonte Springs Casselberry Lake Mary Longwood Oviedo Sanford Winter Springs Unincorporated Seminole County As you can see, the eligible blocks and block groups are identified with an asterisk. However, often ineligible blocks can be combined with eligible blocks to create a larger area that meets the "51% rule". This rule basically means that the service population (that population benefited from any particular project) for any project must be made up of at least 50.5 percent lower income persons. rn"~~~~~J1ii\1;"'~~C" ~..~~ Wr_.......-.TV""*-l.~-w-- ~; ., . Jacqueline Koch January 15, 1987 Page 2 I am also attaching the information for our February 5, 1987 meeting. I took the liberty of deleting those projects which either are no longer proposed or are ineligible for funding. Hopefully, at this meeting we will develop a proposed budget for the 1987-88 Program Year, for presentation to the Citizens Advisory Board (CAB). Of course, the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) will be doing the same thing. The CAB will develop the ultimate priority list to be presented to the BCC for finalizing. Please review the proposed projects thoroughly and be pre- pared to come up with a proposed Community Development budget on February 5, 1987. If necessary, we can set up a subsequent meeting to finalize our proposal. Again, the meeting is set for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 5th in the BCC Conference Room (room number N300) in the County Services Building at 1101 East First Street in Sanford.

The meeting was opened with Buddy Balagia explaining the primary purpose of the meeting was organizational in regard to Seminole County's second year Community Development Application~ as well as update members of current activities. CURRENT ACTIVITIES - UPDATE: _ ?'- Strategic Planning Group, Inc. has been hired as the Consulting firm to assist with the administration of the CD Grant, which involves such dut ies as monitoring the housing assistance plan, GPR (Grantee Performance Report), environmental reviews, and the housing element for the Comprehensive Plan. In addition they will be preparing Neighborh~od Development Plans for each target area. Negotiations with three (3) engineering firms in regard to eight (8) paving and drainage projects. Four (4) of which are construction and five (5) planning and design only which are to be constructed in subsequent years. After discussion of the above mentioned projects, it was the general consensus of Committee members to expect cost over-runs. The major concern being that the contingency fund consist of $90,000.00 and is not healthy enough to absorb extensive over-runs. Therefore, close scrutiny must be maintained in monitoring proposed contracts. The City of Casselberry will be conducting their own Engineering Project per that city's request. Florida Power Corp. will do all proposed street lighting consisting of planning and design as well as construction. ~~___fi'fJ,""1 ! l' .,., If p-I&~ '.--111 -- :.::,,;, - TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING SUMMARY Page 2 of 2 APPLICATION PREPARATION: The question was raised as to the necessity of guidelines being set for a City's proposal not exceeding a specified dollar amount, possibly based upon low/mod. income persons or defined to a certain geographical area. It was the general consensus of the committee based upon previous meeting discussions on this topic that due to the extreme variables involved, this would be an unrealistic approach at this time. Committee members were asked to prepare detailed second year proposals prior to the next meeting with proposals being specific in relation to anticipated funding. Therefore, leaving a smaller margin for deletions or cuts by the CAC and the CAB. Committee members were asked to be prepared at the next meeting to compile and prioritize proposals for presentation/ submission to the CAC. The next meeting of the TAC is scheduled for February 5, 1987 at 2:00 p.m. in the BCC Conference Room. /1 : jwb .. /'" COUNTY OF SEMINOLE FLORIDA PlANNING OFFICE PHONE; (305) 321-1130 1101 EAST FIRST STREET SANFORD. FLORIDA 32771 December 18, 1986 Ms. Jacqueline Koch Director of Administration City of Winter Springs 1126 State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 Dear Ms. Koch, I am taking this opportunity to introduce myself as the newly hired Principal Planner for Community Development. I have been given the responsibility of managing the activities and administration of Seminole County's Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). Since my hiring, we have retained the services of a consulting firm to aid in the administration of the grant by performing several planning and reporting duties in addition to overall compli4nce monitoring. This will allow me to be free to perform the day-to-day scheduling, project monitoring, and other management duties required by the grant. -- We are now in the process of hiring several engineering firms in order to design this current year's projects. I expect to hire from between four to eight firms by late next month. I am now attempting to set up a development schedule for the second year CDBG appl ication. Consequently, I am schedul ing a meeting for the Technical Advisory Committee for 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 8, 1987. I would 1 ike to get an early start this year so that we will have plenty of time to determine project cost estimates and to come up with a final list of project activities. This meeting will be organizational in content. We will discuss the application process and start to think about what activities we would like to see done next. A proposed agenda is attached and I have enclosed a draft profile for each target area. The profile is yet to be finalized because I am awaiting i n c om e I pop u 1 at ion d a t a and g rap h i car t mat e ria 1 . The pro f 11 e contains a list of last year's proposed activities which can serve as a basis for subsequent years funding. Please review these lists prior to the January 8, 1987 meeting for discussion. A subsequent meeting will be scheduled whereby we can develop a proposed list of second year activities for presentation to the Citizen Advisory Committee and Citizen Advisory Board. .;;t ,.~, Our meeting will be in the Board of County Commission Conference Room, number tOOO in the County Services Building at 1101 East First Street in Sanford.

The County and the Cities have entered into a cooperative amendment to implement the program. The purpose of the program is to make community improvements that primarily, although not exclusively, benefit low and moderate income neighborhoods. Low and moderate income is defined as 80\ of the County's median household income a. of the latest census information. The definition of low and moderate is variable depending on the number of people in the household. The program provides 100\ grant monies to engage in virtually any activity that improves living conditions in neighborhoods. Among the eligible activities are the following: A. Acquisition of real property for a pUblic purpose. B. Acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or installation of public facilities including: (1) energy efficiency improvements (2) aesthetic improvements (3) shelters for the homeless; convalescent homes; hospitals; nursing homes; battered .pouse shelters; half-way houses; and group homes. C. Clearance, demolition and removal of buildings and improvements, inCluding movement of structures to other site.. D. Provision of public services (including labor, supplies, and materials) which are directed toward improving the community's publiC services and facilities provided the service meets certain criteria. E. Facility improvements necessary to stop the deterioration of a neighborhood such as: (1) repairing streets, sidewalks, parks, playgrounds, publicly owned utilities and public buildings. (2) certain special clean-~p activitie.. (3) certain, truly emergency activities. P. Payment of the non-federal share required for other grant-in-aid programs provided the activities are CDBG eligible. G. Relocation payments. K.
