AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS
300. Land Design Innovations, Inc. — City Consultant
Presentation From Land Design Innovations, Inc. Updating The City Commission On Economic
Development Efforts. (Follow Up Presentation From Informational Agenda Item "101".)
Mr. Chris Dougherty, Community Planner, Land Design Innovations, Inc., 1770 Fennel Street, Suite 200,
Maitland, Florida: addressed the City Commission and noted, "I will go through the activity report. The reason
you haven't seen us recently is because we changed our reporting period. It was middle of the month to middle of
the month. Now it's starting from the first of the month to the end of the month."
A draft brochure was distributed. Discussion followed on SEMATECH.
Page 3 of the draft brochure was referenced and discussion ensued on whether "Jesup" or "Jessup" should be
used.
Discussion followed.
Ms. Crowe, President, Land Design Innovations, Inc., 1770 Fennel Street, Suite 200, Maitland, Florida:
answered questions from the City Commission
With further comments, Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs then asked Mr. Dougherty if the Incubator has a name.
Mr. Dougherty stated, "It is the UCF/Winter Springs Small Business Incubator." Commissioner Krebs added, "In
here, I did not see that." Manager Smith suggested, "UCF/Winter Springs Incubator — that would be my
suggestion Commissioners, or you may make that change. If you all are okay with that." Commissioner Krebs
said, "Yes." No objections were voiced.
With further comments on using "Jesup" or "Jessup", Manager Smith and Mayor Lacey recommended that
"Jesup" be used. There were no objections noted. Mr. Dougherty then said, "I am just going to make a quick
note of that."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS. FLORIDA MINUTES CITY( ONIMISSION REGLLAR MEETING JANUARY 10, 2011 PAGE 10 OF 21
Ms. Crowe then referenced some Conferences and noted, "We have researched the companies that we were
introduced to at those. And so we have twenty-six (26) Developers and we know what they do and we have got
letters tailored ready to go, when we have the brochures ready to send out to them; as well as sixteen (16)
companies - that we think have potential here in Winter Springs that are ready to go as soon as the brochures are
printed. So that's forty-two (42)."
Mr. Dougherty continued, "Upcoming activities - we want to print and distribute that brochure, get it out
everywhere as much as we possibly can. We want to design the Website for the Economic Development Program
as well as finalize the operational language for and implement the Tax Abatement Program; adopt and implement
the jobs growth incentive program; monitor and implement the SEMATECH project as it hopefully gets
Approved by the Department of Energy - and identify and remedy and regulatory impediments currently in the
Comprehensive Plan or Land Development Code; continue marketing of the Opportunity Sites as Tracy (Crowe)
mentioned; following up with our - Conference contacts as well as the - Conference contacts; follow up with the
Incubator clients as well as follow up with the Town Center Broker; the U.S. (Highway) 17/92 CRA (Community
Redevelopment Agency) Director, and continue coordination with the Metro Orlando EDC (Economic
Development Committee).
Finally, we're going to continue our local business outreach, and target the top five (5) largest employers here in
Winter Springs, see what we can assist them with. And in Ms. Krebs' case, she had mentioned a couple of
Meetings ago about a local business that was expanding. We have reached out to them, to the local Realtor
community and hopefully that will resolve his issues. But again if you have any leads into local businesses that
are looking to expand in the area, we'd love to hear it. Because we have our tendrils that we can go out and put
our feelers out and see what kind of information we can get back for them."
Commissioner Bonner commented, "Relative to the follow up and practically for the (U.S. Highway) 17/92 CRA
(Community Redevelopment Agency) development as this body is representative to that RPA (Redevelopment
Planning Agency), I would appreciate the understanding of what you are pursuing on behalf of that so I can
likewise represent that when I represent the City - at those meetings. Mr. Dougherty responded, "Absolutely."
Continuing, Commissioner Bonner said, "Back to the brochure — on page 2, the `Top 10 Reasons' they are a good
list. I wondered what the basis was for sourcing the `Top 10 Reasons'. And my thinking is that if you have not
had a chance to socialize these with our various citizen committee representative organizations that we have — it
might not be a bad approach to just run it by them to see if we get any additional items to throw on the list.
Particularly for me, there is a very subtle reference on one of these - I believe it is the item number 3, `Greenfield
Opportunity Sites' and `In -fill Opportunities with Incentive Programs'. I know this body has not finalized our
direction on incentive programs; but certainly when we do accomplish that, I would think it would be important to
add that to the list at that time. So, relative to your publication dates, sounds like you are moving ahead
expeditiously."
Commissioner Bonner then said to Manager Smith, "We have not finalized addressing that as an Agenda item
from a timing standpoint. There may be an opportunity to sync the timing on us bringing that forward as an
Agenda for discussion and getting this out for publication. Relative to my comment is on page 9, where you have
the four (4) `Opportunity Sites' called out, just a very subtle reference - this is a four (4) color publication. I don't
know if using the same color for all four (4) sites, trying to call that out with numerical definitions, which I
understand the geography but to someone investigating this and having this as their own resource, you might
actually differentiate that with perhaps different colors for the different zones; or something that helps them to
understand that there is — what is in what particular area."
Mr. Dougherty added, "Now that map also shows facilities as well, in green."
Commissioner Bonner continued, "It is a little struggle with, you running out of colors - maybe draw circles or
lines or something around that - I know what you're trying to do is highlight four (4) geographic areas. Maybe a
simple circle around it might..."
CITY OF NA INTER SPRINGS. FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING JANUARY Iu, 2011 PAGE 11 OF _21
Mr. Dougherty remarked. "...To address your previous comment in regards to incentives, whether the City offers
incentives is kind of a moot point, because we discuss the State incentives and Federal incentives. You do have
the S.E.E.D. (Seminole Economic Enhancement District) Program which essentially all those sites are —
Brownfields which are eligible for incentives."
Commissioner Bonner agreed and added, "Absolutely. If there are any other incentives out there that we are
aware of, I think the more we can bring that forward that those are known, please ask us about them if you are
entertaining relocating from out of state for example - that is in my `Top 10 Reasons' why I would consider
contacting you to find out more about that aside from all of the other wonderful reasons to live in Central Florida
and Winter Springs."
Commissioner Resnick inquired, "Have timelines been set for requests to LDI (Land Design Innovations, Inc.)
because the gentlemen mentioned that items are being worked on but without ending dates. When we can expect
these to be completed?"
With no response, Commissioner Resnick further said, "I take that as `No'. Then to all of us up here and to the
gentleman, would it be fair to ask for expectation dates, when the item is done? Because looking at your work it
says we are underway, working on these things. But that can take the whole year if you are underway, just a
thought."
Mayor Lacey said to Ms. Crowe, "Can you get back to us with, now or later, a timeline?" Ms. Crowe
commented, "On the few minor changes that I have been hearing, we are ready to print the brochure and we really
want to get those packages out; which will actually - they will be coming — a letterhead from your signature to go
out with the brochure. It will have a cover letter that will explain why — we'd like to tell them why Winter
Springs is such a great place to locate their business; and then give them some materials."
Continuing, Mayor Lacey remarked to Ms. Crowe, "Were you planning on bringing the final changes back to this
Commission or just to the Manager for Approval?"
Ms. Crowe commented "We had hoped we would go to the Manager from here, because we already have quotes
from the printers for different quantities and to go ahead and get these out. And, you have to remember these can
get to you in the future but that's why all throughout the document we are referring to the Website - the ED
(Economic Development) Website, because we expect that to be evolving. That's always current and
immediately when you adopt a Jobs Growth Incentive Program here locally; it will probably be the tag line on the
front for awhile of the ED (Economic Development) Website page. So, you can always get attention to that front
page and attract them to that."
Deputy Mayor Jean Hovey stated, "Just in reading through this, there are several places where corrections need to
be made. So, if I don't do it tonight, I will finish it tomorrow and bring it to Kevin (Smith) - for example, High
School — is in here as one (1) word and High School is not one (1) word. So, I will - bring them to Kevin (Smith)
tomorrow."
Ms. Crowe commented "We are scheduled for our initial meeting to get on with the Website after the brochure.
That meeting has already been scheduled for the end of January."
Commissioner Krebs stated, "We just only got these and I don't want any buttons being pushed to print until we
have had an opportunity to look at it; because if we had it before, we could have come prepared to the meeting
with something; but we didn't. And to Jean's (Hovey) point, I agree."
Mayor Lacey asked, "My question of the Commission is, are you comfortable in sending your input to Tracy
(Crowe) and Chris (Dougherty), and then letting the Manager make final Approval or do you want to actually see
this and give Approval before it goes to press?"
CITY OF"IN VER SPRIGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY CONIMISSION REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 10, 2011 PAGE 12 OF 21
Commissioner Krebs stated, "It is fine if Kevin (Smith) wants to put his John Hancock on it as Approval. I don't
have a problem with that. But 1 think that if we are going to look through and find something that we think needs
to be changed — I think there needs to be one (1) point to go to so that everybody is aware of what those changes
are, so that when they come back, they can make sure those changes have been made. That is my suggestion."
Deputy Mayor Hovey remarked, "I agree." Mayor Lacey said, "So you are clear with the process Tracy (Crowe),
Chris (Dougherty)? Mr. Dougherty said, "Absolutely."
Commissioner Bonner asked, "What is the printing budget and do you envision a reprint; and if so at what
frequency do you envision reprinting?"
Ms. Crowe said, "I would recommend that we do a thousand. The thousand is just — under three thousand for
printing with color. And, I anticipate it lasting for five (5) years at a minimum when we're going to have the
Website. You're going to have parcels that are coming in and out of those development sites but like I said, all
throughout the brochure we're referring to that website that will have the most recent information and adding any
new parcels that come online that are ready for development or new tenants."
Commissioner Bonner further said, "So what I heard — in there is a five (5) year shelf life on this publication at a
thousand pieces...?" Ms. Crowe commented, "...And, if we distribute all of them, and we're out, we'll come
back to you and ask if you would like to budget it, to reprint again."
Continuing, Commissioner Bonner added, "Certainly, - just my own thinking is that five (5) years is a pretty long
time in a dynamic community like Winter Springs; so, even though it may cost more per piece — if that is really
the consumptive rate, we might want to go with a smaller print that affords the opportunity for refresh with new
information, new opportunities, new things we would want to share. I personally think five (5) years is a little bit
long for a shelf life."
Ms. Crowe said, "The biggest concern I guess telling you like the difference between 500 copies and a 1000
copies is — it's such a minimal cost difference; like you might save a hundred dollars ($100.00) or two hundred
dollars ($200.00). But, we will provide all that information to Mr. Smith to make a decision."
Commissioner Bonner remarked, "And I trust the Manager to make the right call on this. This is well within his
decision purview for expenditures; so, I am comfortable with the Manager's decision. I just think five (5) years is
a long time."
Commissioner Cade Resnick said, "Going off of the five (5) year idea as things change, and the economy changes
and everything changes. What then — what if things change in three (3) years, or quicker than that? Any of the
data that is in here, the dynamic data are you going to change it just on the Website?"
Ms. Crowe said, "Right now, I'm giving them information about the quality of life. I mean you're going to
continuously improve. I mean at one point the Trail wasn't here. You have phenomenal improvements that are
always going to come; but you have some basis right now to get out there to companies that you had nothing to
hand to EDC (Economic Development Commission) or anyone before. And that is the name of the game with
Economic Development - is pull the trigger and tell somebody about yourself. I mean you've got to do that. And
like I said, if that all of a sudden brings us something like a SEMATECH and we've got more money in the
General Fund, we can afford to print next year again. So, things will change and we can have that expectation but
at least you'll have something. You will have a base, and the website — and I've already seen witness, from what
Chris (Dougherty) has the skill set to do, with keeping up with your Website; and I feel extremely confident with
how quickly we'll be able to update everything here in the City; so, much better than I've seen in some cases."
Deputy Mayor Hovey said to Ms. Crowe, "On the inside cover, there is what appears to be a Logo — I mean I
know we have had several conversations about this. Did we ever finalize a Logo?" Commissioner Krebs stated,
"No, you did not." Deputy Mayor Hovey commented, "And I am not real thrilled with how this looks."

Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA. AICP, Director, Community Development Department explained, "We were
looking for something and we understood this was not Approved for first printing, or something for you to look
at. Something more than this square on the front." Commission Krebs noted, "I appreciate your effort."
Continuing, Commissioner Krebs spoke of watching parades and how the theme is run throughout the parade on
many of the floats and suggested, "We need that mindset to do that for the Logo — for Winter Springs."
Commissioner Krebs then commented to Ms. Crowe, "You might have told me Tracy (Crowe) that this Logo is —
not the Winter Springs Logo..."
Ms. Crowe stated, "...Economic Development." Ms. Crowe added, "We are just focusing on getting the brochure
and getting - the ED (Economic Development) message out there." Commissioner Krebs said, "But you are right,
we do need a branding."

Attorney Garganese reported that "Atlantic Housing filed a federal law suit alleging that the City violated the state
and Federal Fair Housing Act with respect to their project that they proposed some time ago and we're in the
process of putting our defense together."
Next, Attorney Garganese mentioned that "Tomorrow I believe, the Seminole County Commission is going to be
considering a County wide Ordinance regarding, basically a prohibition against those internet cafes that you've
read about. As I understand the Ordinance that they're going to be considering, it will have a County -wide effect
unless a Municipality opts out; so that Ordinance would affect Winter Springs if it gets approved."
Lastly, Attorney Garganese thanked Mr. Chris Edwards, Web Multimedia Technician, Information Services
Department and his colleagues for the new "Dropbox" program.

Commissioner Krebs wished everyone a Happy New Year.
Next, Commissioner Krebs commented on audio streamed City Commission meetings being available on the
Internet after a meeting, but that Advisory Board Meetings were not kept on the City's Website.
Discussion followed on a recent Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency meeting which was a very
long meeting and how such long meetings did not follow the same City Commission protocol as it related to
meeting length.
Commissioner Brown said, "I would support that and this and also be willing to look at any additional
expenditures that might be necessary to improve the amount of storage or server format that we currently have to
support that." Commissioner Bonner remarked, "In the spirit of transparency, I likewise support that." No
objections were voiced.
Discussion followed on staff time to post such meetings on our Website; to which Ms. Joanne Dalka, Director,
Information Services Department stated, "It can be done. It is not a problem." Commissioner Brown then said,
"Let's do it then." No one voiced any objections.
Commissioner Krebs then asked Ms. Dalka if the recent Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency
meeting could be added to the City's Website; to which Ms. Dalka responded, "Yes."
Continuing, Commissioner Krebs mentioned the lateness of the recent Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning
Agency meeting and that there does not seem to be a Policy on this. Commissioner Krebs then stated, "I think we
should look at that." Commissioner Brown agreed and remarked, "Yes." Mayor Lacey stated, "I agree."
Continuing, Mayor Lacey thought that such Policies should be reviewed every two (2) years when new Elected
Officials take Office.
Next, Commissioner Brown spoke for the Record about his support of time limits for Board and Committee
meetings, as well as the City Commission. Commissioner Brown added, "I don't think that our Boards should be
operating at times that are inconvenient for the large number of our citizens to attend and I think going past ten
o'clock (p.m.) is unreasonable."
Mayor Lacey mentioned the Uniform Boards and Procedures for the City's Boards and Committees. Attorney
Garganese noted, "We would have to pull that document and bring it to you to review and revise."
Manager Smith mentioned that "Not only do frequency of meetings have a cost, the duration of meetings has a
cost also — so, we always ask that we please be as efficient as they can to do their good work."

405. Office Of The Mayor — The Honorable Charles Lacey
Mayor Lacey stated, "I believe that since this body reconstitutes itself every two (2) years it is appropriate at the
beginning of that to do certain things. We Elect a Deputy Mayor every year but every two (2) years, we should
take a look at the general rules and procedures that this body operates under. Things like the termination at ten
o'clock..." Commissioner Brown added, "... Transparency." Mayor Lacey continued and said, "Certain way
things are handled, both to make sure that we keep it fresh and as a courtesy to new people joining the Boards so
they understand what the procedures are, even if we are not going to make any changes."
Additionally, Mayor Lacey suggested, " I would like to propose that we have an Agenda Item next time to discuss
[Resolution] 2010-42 again to see if there any changes." Continuing, Mayor Lacey mentioned, "As part of that
then, we could take the Uniform Rules And Procedures for Boards, see if any of the things that are in there are
appropriate to apply to the Commission and then also use that opportunity to look to see if we want to make any
changes to that that would apply to appointed Boards. So, if there is no objection, we will ask the Manager and
Attorney to prepare that item."
"I WILL MAKE THAT MOTION." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BROWN. SECONDED BY

Mayor Lacey then said, "We will see that in two (2) weeks."
Next, Mayor Lacey offered his appreciation that Weblink was now more user-friendly.
Lastly, Mayor Lacey mentioned that from most of the emails he receives, the only emails that he received from
angry individuals had to do with the holiday content of the new Banners. Mayor Lacey then inquired how the
Commission would feel about "Using `Christmas' and `Hanukah' on our Banners, and if it is the will of the
Commission to do something like that, I am sure we will want to pose the question to the Attorney, as to what the
risks are."
Commissioner Brown remarked, "I have always supported that." Mayor Lacey then asked the City Commission,
"Is there any objection to our asking the Attorney to opine on this?" No one voiced any objections. Attorney

Commissioner Resnick thought that it might possibly be a better tool than the City's eAlerts.
Deputy Mayor Hovey thought that Attorney Garganese could check on any updated information, to which
Attorney Garganese stated, "I would be happy to update my research on it, but it may come down to a policy call
by the Commission and possibly some training and some do's and don'ts if you want to go into the "facebook"
arena."
Next, Commissioner Bonner commented on some marketing and communication efforts that he was aware of and
stated, "I would like the Manager to have adequate time to research , as well as the Attorney — not only the current
legal guidelines in regards to this, but also possibly have a chance to check with organizations such as the League
of Cities and so on, to get some understanding about the potential responsibilities that go along with responsible
social media management, on behalf of our brand and our message."
Secondly, Deputy Mayor Hovey suggested that for the next City newsletter, could we include information about
City employees who have been with the City for a while and added, "Because that is good for people to know that
we have a great place to work and we have employees that have been with us a really long period of time."
Manager Smith commented, "We typically do that - I will be happy to do that."

RECOMMENDATION: The City Manager And The City Clerk Recommend And Request The
Following:
1. Recommend The City Commission Approve The Plans Recommended In This Agenda Item For
Purposes Of Staffing The Joint Economic Development Task Force.
2. Respectfully Request The Commission Allow The Manager And Clerk To Provide A Follow -Up
Agenda Item At The February 14, 2010 City Commission Regular Meeting Relative To
Proposed Solutions For Addressing The Workload In The Clerk's Office.
Discussion followed on whether City Clerk administrative support was actually required for the Joint Economic
Development Task Force.
Attorney Garganese explained, "The legal requirement is that this Committee must take Minutes in order to
comply with the Sunshine Law and have their meetings noticed; so somebody is going to have to be responsible
for that requirement. Who does that? I'll leave that for you all to decide. Whether it needs to be the Clerk or
someone else."
Mayor Lacey remarked, "So, legally it could anyone who is competent to take Minutes, write them down and
submit them to satisfy our legal obligations..." Attorney Garganese added, "...And Notice the meetings; Post the
Public Notice. Of course, all the records of the Committee will be Public Records, those will have to be
maintained by somebody."
With further comments, Mayor Lacey stated, "I think if we go back to the Agenda Item, the Manager and the
Clerk have come up with a viable approach to handle the staffing requirement of this under their `Part 1' proposal
on this item. I think it would probably be less expensive and more efficient for us to use the resources that the
Manager has identified than it would be to spend any of our actual dollars to hire in additional capability, is my
take on it."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS. FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING — JANUARY 10. 2011 PAGE 21 OF 21
Manager Smith noted. "To the original recommendation — I feel like in concert with a discussion with our
Department Directors. that we have sufficient capacity within the City in order to reallocate certain duties to free
up some Clerk time sufficient to properly man this Board. We believe we can do that."
Furthermore, Manager Smith pointed out, "My short time goal was to get this Board off the ground and running
and to provide sufficient support to it: to do that, and not to hamper its ability to get moving forward: so, I believe
we can do that."
Mayor Lacey stated, " If there is no objection then. I take it that the Commission is content with the plan for the
staffing of the [Joint] EDTF (Economic Development Task Force) and the direction for the Manager and the
Clerk to come back with further recommendation on February 14th. (2011) with a more comprehensive plan to
discuss the staffing of the Clerk's Office. Do we have a Motion to that effect?"
"SO ?MOVED." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
BROWN. DISCUSSION.
MANAGER SMITH SAID, "I WOULD CERTAINLY THINK THAT THE BOARD UNDER
CHAIRMAN BUSH'S LEADERSHIP COULD DISCUSS STAFFING, AND SEE HOW THEY SEE FIT
AND BRING IT BACK TO US FOR ANY RECOMMENDATION. I DON'T THINK WE ARE LOCKED
INTO THIS ONE PLAN."
MAYOR LACEY SUMMARIZED, "THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE THE PLAN AS PRESENTED IN
