Requesting The Commission To Receive A Report From The Turnpike Authority
On A Pilot Project To Reduce Tolls On State Road 417 Between State Road 434
And Red Bug Road.
Mr. Joey Gordon and Mr. Saad A. Shbaklo of the Florida Department of Transportation -
Turnpike District gave a presentation to the Commission on a new pilot study which
reduces the tolls at the State Road 434 exit from seventy-five cents ($.75) to thirty-one
cents ($.31). Mr. Gordon then advised the Commission that "Following the completion
of the study, the Turnpike District will evaluate the results and report the findings back to
the City of Winter Springs."
Commissioner Michael S. Blake asked Mr. Gordon, "When was the last time you took
counts on some of the residential roads in Winter Springs that are frequently used as cut-
through methods to avoid going downtown Oviedo? Those specifically would be
. VistawiHa Drive, Northern Way, Seneca Boulevard, Winter Springs Boulevard, the other
Northern Way, Citrus." Mr. Gordon responded, "We can verify exactly what was
counted for you and get information to you," Additionally, Mr. Gordon stated, "We can
certainly use some input from you guys if you notice some particular anomalies that we
may not be familiar with, specifically to your area - it would be helpful for us." Mr.
Gordon then said, "We do count a lot of the local network, but I don't know if we
actually count those specific ones or not, but we can definitely check into it and let you
know." Commissioner Blake also mentioned Tuscora Drive and Greenbriar Lane,
Commissioner Cindy Gennell asked about Shetland Avenue, Mr. Gordon added, "We'll
definitely follow up on that and get back to you."

Commissioner Robert S. Miller asked why the State Road 434 toll booth was only
sometim~s manned. Mr. Gordon explained that the Office of Toll Operations handles
such matters, but said, "We will make a note of it and we'll follow up on it for you."
Regarding the premise of this project, Mr. Gordon reiterated that "The real thing that we
are trying to accomplish is take traffic off the local network, 434 in particular, and other
streets in the local network that are serving the City of Oviedo and out them on the
Seminole Expressway for that short trip,"
Commissioner Gennell stated, "Since this program is going to last for a whole year, and it
is going to benefit many of our citizens who have the transponders, I would suggest that
we get the City Manager to put that in the next newsletter."
Informational brochures were handed out, along with the toll free number, which is 1-
888- TOLLFLA.

Cornr!Jissioner Martinez then said "I didn't see anything on theft of identity and
credentials. Is that covered?" City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese stated that "There
are state laws that address identity theft, criminalization of those types of activities, but
there is no specific provision in here on identity theft." Commissioner Martinez asked
Attorney Garganese, "Are you satisfied with this, the way it is?" Attorney Garganese
responded, "In the context - in which it is being brought you, I am satisfied,"
Commissioner Gennell pointed out that on page 6, under Item 3., "You have 'my' instead
of 'may.'"
Additionally, Commissioner Gennell spoke of her concerns with items 2., 3., and 4. and
suggested that "Situations could come up where somebody inadvertently accesses these
things." Commissioner Gennell added, "I would think that the word 'Deliberately' or
something similar to 'Deliberately' would be a little more clear," Commissioner Gennell
stated, "I just want to make sure that somebody opening something accidentally isn't
going to be penalized for that." Mayor Partyka asked Ms. Dalka, "Is it covered, or not?"
Ms. Dalka responded, "Yes."
On page 4, the use of computers for personal use was discussed next.
Tape I/Side 8
Commissioner Gennell commented on the last line on page 4, specifically the text stating
". . . use without authorization from the City Manager" and inquired, "Is there a reason for
it to be there." Manager McLemore said that he would be agreeable to deleting this
section. Discussion. Manager McLemore suggested, "In an abundance of caution, the
better thing would be to cut it out. Like I said, those situations will arise anyhow, and
unless we can find some real public purpose involved, we shouldn't be doing it. Because,
I am in the same situation; if you leave it in there, the only way I would approve it
anyhow, is if somebody could show me a public purpose - but yet it would almost be
contradictory to the language." Mayor Partyka polled the Commission regarding whether
this wording should be deleted and asked, "Do you agree with that position?"
Commissioner Miller stated, "I think it ought to be in there." Commissioner Blake
stated, "Take it out." Commissioner Martinez responded, "Out." Commissioner Gennell
stated, "Out."
Discussion followed on how this would apply to Elected Officials. Manager McLemore
suggested, "We can do it up front." Attorney Garganese added, "Under the general
statement of policy, we can add 'Mayor and City Commission.'" Attorney Garganese
then spoke of the potential remedies and said, "Those types of remedies and sanctions I
don't think need to be stated in this policy; if you want them stated, I'd be happy to put
them in there," Commissioner Martinez suggested, "I think you should insert at least one
line or two (2) to the effect that this is applicable to Elected Officials also."
Commissioner Miller stated, "I concur. I think there should be a comment in there
making it applicable,"

should cover them, and they would have to adhere to the same Policy as the employees
for any computer usage." Ms. Dalka added, "We can specify" such individuals also."
Commissioner Blake suggested including Contractors also. With discussion on controls,

Manager McLemore stated, "There is every understanding that a positive vote in favor of
annexation is a positive vote to be included in the Assessment District. Now, I think the
Commission needs to know that is what is in people's minds, that if they are voting on
annexation, they are voting on this coming into the Assessment District, and some way,
the Commission needs to give some indication of that, as part of this whole Referendum
process. ~ow, whether that is - put in the language of the Ordinance and maybe that is
nOl the best place, or it could simply be done by the Commission taking a vote in session
- we need. to get that clear understanding between the Commission, and certainly the
Staff and the people." Manager McLemore added that by the "Next time, we have the
Second Reading, we need to establish the date of this Referendum, and we can do that by
Agenda Item."
Commissioner Blake suggested, "If we can have the Attorney draft a brief Resolution that
this Commission can pass." Commissioner Blake added that a similar previous vote
"Had 62% - I believe was the number - of the residents in the annexation area approving
inclusion into the Beautification District, and we can adopt that as our indication of
interest, and then move forward and put in the Resolution format, that should this area be
annexed into the City; then they will be included as part of the Beautification District."
Discussion. Attorney Garganese suggested, "If you want to state that intent in the
Ordinance, we can state that intent in the Ordinance."
Commissioner Blake inquired if it could be part of the "Question?" Attorney Garganese
stated, "You may be able to add it in the explanatory statement - of the Referendum
question - to state your intentions,"
Attorney Garganese then explained that "I will amend the Ordinance and it will come
back to you for Second Reading and it will have a statement of intent that if the -
registered electors vote for annexation, that's the intent of the Commission is that the
property would be included in the TLBD." Manager McLemore added, "And in the
information we give out, we will state that."
"I MAKE A MOTION THAT THIS ITEM BE APPROVED AND MOVED TO

Attorney Garganese reiterated the suggested change as "On private or public property, at
the request of the private property owner." Attorney Garganese added, "If the City
requested that they relocate infrastructure, on City right-of-way, the City does not incur
any expense because they are in the City's right-of-way."
Commissioner Gennell asked, "Where does it say that they are obligated to remove things
at their cost, at the City's request on City property?"
Mr. Donald E. Kitner, Division Manager, Florida Public Utilities Company, 830 West
Sixth Street, Sanford, Florida: stated, "We are on the City's right-of way by permit and
part of that permitting process is that - we have to move our facilities if it is in the way of
City construction - at our cost."
Attorney Garganese said, "I am just going to emphasize that in paragraph 12.9, that it
doesn't apply when the City requests that you relocate infrastructure," Mr. Kitner stated,
"That's fine."
Attorney Garganese explained that the additional request "Involves the 'Most Favored
Franchise Fee' clause that we added - in paragraph XVII.. They do not object to the
provisions in the 'Most Favored Franchise Fee' status paragraph, however, they would
like - that provision stated in a separate Agreement, not in the Franchise Fee Ordinance."
Attorney Garganese then stated, "If we were going to state this provision in an
Agreement form, I would want to add a paragraph in that Agreement that is called a
'C:I)SS Default' paragraph that in the event they default under the Franchise Fee, we
could terminate that Agreement and vice versa. If they default on the most 'Most
Favored Franchise Fee' Agreement, then we have the right to terminate the Franchise
Ordinance. "
Discussion,
Tape 2/Side B
Attorney Garganese stated that "I don't need to make reference to that in the Franchise
Ordinance that is before you; however, in the Agreement that we prepare, there will be
'Cross Default' provisions which simply state that if you breach or you violate the 'Most
Favored Nations' clause, then the City has the right to terminate the Franchise Ordinance,
and vice versa."
Commissioner Gennell said to Attorney Garganese, "There won't be anything in this
Odinance to call a future City Attorney's attention to the fact that one exists today?"
AttoMey Garganese stated that "We can ensure that hopefully - as part of the Archives,
that we incorporate both and we staple them together as one comprehensive franchise
rela!ionship with the company."

Commissioner Blake stated, "I still want to put on the record my objection to Section 3-
10, (4), the definition of 'Person.' I think we should strike that section altogether."
Discussion ensued on the definition of 'Person.' Attorney Garganese explained that "The
intent of the Ordinance is to create one standard in Seminole County, and Seminole
County has taken the lead in adopting its 'Public Decency' Ordinance to have this
definition in place."
Commissioner Gennell added, "My inclination would be to strike the 'Ten (10) years of
age' out of there.
Commissioner Martinez stated, "Point of Order" and commented on the standards being
discussed.
With further discussion, Commissioner Gennell stated, "My preference would be to put a
period after 'Being' and delete the balance of that sentence."
Commissioner Miller stated, "Point of Order" and asked about the definition of "Nates. "
Commissioner Blake suggested, "We already have an exception that in section (c), under
'Exceptions.,' is also not a violation of this section for 'a mother to breast feed her baby.'
Why don't we just add appropriate language in there, 'Or to change a baby's diaper,' or
whatever you want to put in there that makes sense. That would cover that issue."
"I MAKE A MOTION WE MOVE THIS TO SECOND READING, THIS
ORDINANCE NUMBER 2001-59, WITH THE SECTION 3-10 (a) (4) STRIKING
ALL WORDS AFTER THE WORD 'BEING,' AND IN SECTION - 3-10 (e)

Discussion followed on the Code and whether there was a more precise map or drawing
depicting where wind speed lines were. Commissioner Blake asked, "Is there a better
map, because the one from DCA is as general as the one you have." Commissioner
Blake further suggested that a possible solution might be "We could just make a finding
that the 120 mile an hour wind line lies directly on top of the North/South oriented 17/92,
and that all portions of Winter Springs that are east of that, are listed at 120 miles an
hour, and any portions of Winter Springs that lie to the west of that, which of course there
are none, would be 110 miles an hour."
Further discussion ensued on wind speeds and what increments were suggested.
Tape 3/Side A
Commissioner Blake stated, "My recommendation would be we set 17/92 as being the
. division between 110 and 120; 120 if you are east of 17/92, and we can check to find out
whether we are supposed to be incrementally smaller than ten (10); I think it is ten (10);
and whether we have to set one at all, and I think we do."
"I MOVE THAT WE MOVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 20Ot-57 TO A SECOND
READING INCORPORATING WITHIN IT - 6-3 (;!) - THAT WE ESTABLISH
THE WIND - SPEED ZONE - TO BE 17/92; ANYTHING IN THE CITY EAST OF

Regarding benefits, Mr. DeMarie advised Commissioner Gennell that "Their Health
benefits are picked up by the military automatically." Commissioner Gennell inquired,
"For their whole family?" Mr. DeMarie responded, "Yes, Ma'am." Commissioner
Gennell then asked, "All branches?" Mr. DeMarie replied, "Yes, as I understand it, it's
all branches," Commissioner Gennell then asked, "And there is no lapse in coverage?"
Mr. DeMarie stated, "There is no lapse in coverage. We allow for the accumulation of
vacation and sick leave; and retirement benefits continue. The health benefits of course
are taken over by the military," Commissioner Gennell then said, "They lose nothing -
financially?" Mr. DeMarie agreed and stated, "That's true."
Commissioner Blake asked Mr. DeMarie, "What about contributions to the retirement
ac<...ount?" Mr. DeMarie stated, "The contribution issue I would have to check on,
Cormnissioner." Commissioner Blake then asked, "Do they accrue time, the vesting
schedule, even though they are not here; and do we make contributions, City portion for
what they would be paid if they were here; and secondly, do they make contributions on
their behalf for the same amount for what they would be paid if they were here?"
Manager McLemore stated, "We need to ask our Attorneys about that." Commissioner
Blake read from 115.12 Florida Statutes - "They are entitled to preserve all seniority
rights, efficiency ratings, promotional status and retirement privileges," Manager
McLemore added, "We need some legal rendering on this." Mr. DeMarie stated, "From
the Pension Attorney? I can do that."
Commissioner Blake then inquired about the following: "For how long - what time
frame do we wish to retain that subsidy again" and "What happens if the individual
doesn't come back to the City at the end of their tour," Discussion.
Commissioner Miller stated, "I go along with the Staffs recommendation."
Commissioner Martinez said that when an individual is called to active duty and "Is
ordered to report, that should entitle him to some benefits." Commissioner Martinez then
said that, "Once he is discharged from duty he is given a certain amount of time for him
to come back and say, I am here, and I am ready to go to work. Ifhe doesn't do that, then
it is your choice to dismiss him." Further, Commissioner Martinez stated, "Your
recommendation to do the same thing as Casselberry is more than sufficient to satisfy the
needs of anyone." Additionally, Commissioner Martinez stated, "I am in agreement with
your recommendation to subsidize the pay to the level of an employee's City salary."
Commissioner Gennell said, "In general, I am satisfied with it the way it is;" and added,
"I would suggest to you that you would want to put a term on the length of time that we
would continue this supplement to their family or to them. I would think, if you wanted
to put a time limit on it, I would base it on the number of years of service with the City,"
Commi~sioner Gennell then said, "If they are vested with the City, depending on what the
legal interpretation is in the end, I would support their ability to contribute to their own
pension - we might even want to go to the extent - if they wanted to stay in - our pension
plan, ~o them contributing the whole amount that the City would be putting in."
