Customers Who Perceive The System To Be Unfair And Inflexible.
`Cash Only' Status — This Revision Is Primarily A Convenience Issue For The Customer. While It Is
Possible That Some Customers May Fall Back Into NSF (Non- Sufficient Funds) Status, The Prevailing Fees
Would Serve As The Appropriate Consequence /Disincentive.
Special Payment Arrangements — The Purpose Of This Revision Is To Work With The Customer Toward
Payment Of Their Ongoing User Fees While Chipping Away At Their Outstanding Balance. Wide
Utilization Of Payment Installments Will Not Exist, But To The Extent Utilized, Delinquent Account
Balances Are Expected To Decline As Well As Disconnections And Accounts Being Sent To `Collections'.
After -Hours Reconnection Fee — Revenues Would Increase In Order To Recover Additional And
Incremental Costs Related To After - Hours' Reconnection Services.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH NO OBJECTIONS.
Attorney Garganese read Ordinance 2011 -11 by "Title" only.
Mr. Boyle began the discussion on this Agenda Item.
Ms. Kelly Balagia, Budget Analyst, Finance and Administrative Services Department elaborated on a previous
discussion point and noted, "The Commission had accepted Staff's recommendation that the City Manager or his
designee be the determination of who would have to become a `Cash only customer'. Commissioner Krebs had
suggested that we have objective criteria surrounding the term `Chronic returned payment histoiy' and Legal
Counsel confirmed that. So, in light of the fact that we developed the objective criteria, it rendered unnecessaiv
the City Manager having to make that determination. So, the waN- this is set up is the objective criteria would
stand and it would direct someone to be a `Cash only customer'. Their appellate process would go through the
City Manager or his designee."
Manager Smith asked the City Commission if this matched their recollection. No objections were voiced.
Ms. Balagia then said, "Other than that slight departure with that one, all the other revisions are as discussed."
Mr. Bovle added, "Once the Ordinance has passed, then we will have a couple of other Resolutions."
Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.

Authorizing The Submission Of The Certificate To Non -Ad Valorem Assessment Roll, Assessment
Summary And FY (Fiscal Year) 2011 -2012 Annual Assessment Roll For Tax Year 2011 Relating To The
Oak Forest Wall And Beautification District And The Tuscawilla Lighting And Beautification Assessment
Area — Phases I And II To The Seminole County Tax Collector By September 15, 2011.
Mr. Boyle introduced this Agenda Item for discussion.
Commissioner Brown mentioned he had met with Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District AdvISOIN-
Committee Chairperson Maiv Brook and Mr. Steve Richart, Urban Beautification Services Division Manager,
Community Development Department and stated, "It is my opinion and my opinion only, that it is somewhat
incongruent to advertise and be proud of the fact that we lower Taxes and then come back and raise a Fee."
Commissioner Brown added, "To me, Taxes, Fees, Assessments are all Taxes, one waN- or another."
Commissioner Bonner also noted that he had met with Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District AdvISOIN-
Committee Chairperson Brook and Mr. Richart who gave him a good understanding of the situation at hand.
Commissioner Bonner agreed with Commissioner Brown and said, "The timing is not necessarily right to proceed
with a Fee adjustment recommendation at this time. I would recommend that we further study this, drill into it a
little bit deeper, and see if we can't come up with an alternative before we go back to the public with just a raise."
Commissioner Bonner then remarked, "One of the points I did explore with them is whether or not there are more
needs within the community and I walked awaN- with an understanding that there may veiv well be more needs
within the community. So, one of the other things I would like to see our Board do is to explore the additional
needs. One of the ones that we spent a little bit of time talking about was streetlighting. There are parts of our
community and streets that are not currently served adequately by streetlighting." Commissioner Bonner spoke
further about the safety and security of good streetlighting and added, "That is one of the things that I would like
our Board to take a look at, is where we may have needs to expand that.
Were we to subsequently reach a conclusion of expansion, there would be possibly the need to go back out to the
body and explore an expansion of this special taxing in the future. So, if we end up going down that path, it might
be more appropriate to address the total maintenance in the context of whether those needs exist in the future; and
I think the reserve is adequate for the next twelve (12) months to give the Board the time to really study these
broader issues and how that might govern our decisions for the future."
Commissioner Krebs also noted that she had met with Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District AdvISOIN-
Committee Chairperson Brook and Mr. Richart. Commissioner Krebs then commented that she wanted to know
what the community thought; asked what if there is no increase; and inquired, "Do you actually need up to the one
[hundred] twenty -eight [dollars] ($128.00) cap ?"
Commissioner Resnick remarked that he too had met with Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District
Advisory Committee Chairperson Brook; and commented about telephone calls and the Assessment.
Deputy Mayor Hovey then spoke briefly on the Assessment. Discussion.
Mayor Lacev asked Mr. Boyle, "Have you looked at what our payments on the Debt Service are, to see if the
same kind of creativity you have brought to some of the other Bonds, can be used here so that we could perhaps
lower the required Debt Service ""
Mr. Boyle responded, "We are vetting that right now." Mayor Lacey then noted, "So, perhaps, given a year to
look at it, there might be some creativity there that helps ?" Mr. Boyle said, "There could be."

Manager Smith complimented the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advismy Committee and
noted, "Staff and I have had some conversations about this issue and we still have some issues that we'd like to
flush out. We don't know that they will prove to be successful in reducing our cost, but we'd like to find out; so, I
would ask this Board to consider maintaining the Rate at its current level for another Near to give Staff the
opportunity to flush out a couple of options. Some of them have been alluded to here tonight — Fund Balance
levels, debt restructuring, debt refinancing, to give us that opportunity to do that; report back to you during our
Quarterly Financial reports as to the status. We may find that we have to come back to you and ask for this Rate
increase next near."
Mayor Lacey commented, "I am looking for a Motion to Approve Resolution 2011 -34 as presented or as
Amended."
"I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS AMENDED, WITH NOT INCREASING
THE TUSCAWILLA MAINTENANCE FUND." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BROWN.

Mr. Bovle introduced this Agenda Item and stated, "Essentially what's occurred this Near that's different than the

RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve Resolution 2011 -35 Amending The Commission's Rules And
Procedures To Permit Public Input At The Beginning And End Of City Commission Meetings, And
Restating The Remaining Rules And Procedures.
Attorney Garganese introduced this Agenda Item and proposed Resolution and said to the City Commission,
"Based on vour direction, I made two (2) Amendments to the Commission Rules and Procedures. On `Page 4 of
7', under `Delegations.', - open forum, I added a sentence, `Delegations shall be scheduled at the beginning (after
reports); and end of each Commission meeting, subject to other applicable provisions of this Resolution'. Per
your direction, you requested that we have two (2) open forum time periods for each Commission meeting, and at
the beginning and at the end. That sentence will accomplish that direction.
And then also on `Page 5 of 7' in first paragraph `2.' on that page, I added a sentence with respect to Delegations,
`Further, it is not appropriate to readdress quasi-judicial and public hearing items previously addressed by the City
Commission at the same meeting'. I added that just for clarification purposes. If you're going to have an open
forum at the end of the meeting, it would be inappropriate to have somebody re -argue a quasi-judicial matter.
Thev need to be here for that matter when it is called. So, those are the two (2) changes."
Deputy Mayor Hovey asked Attorney Garganese, "If someone shows up and is here at the beginning for Public
Input - we have citizens who have been here and they give us their three (3) minutes of information and then it
comes time at the end — if they have already given us three (3), can they talk for another three (3) at the end ?"
Attorney Garganese responded, "They could, but of course repetitive statements are typically not acceptable. The
Commission has some discretion there. But if they wanted to come and speak again at the end of the meeting on
another, make another comment, the Commission would hear them."
Deputy Mayor Hovey then commented, "But if it was reiterating the same thing that they had given us — the three
(3) minutes..." Attorney Garganese noted, "...The Mayor could call that `Out of order', `Repetitive comments',
`Argument comments'."

Next, Deputy Mayor Hovey mentioned a recent newspaper article which noted that Seminole County Supervisor

they could register students to Vote. Deputy Mayor Hovey complimented Mr. Ertel’s “Thinking outside the box”.
Deputy Mayor Hovey noted some calls and letters she had received about parking issues related to Code
Enforcement.
Chief of Police Kevin Brunelle, Police Department commented on City procedures and stated, “The Citation and
the actual Code Enforcement Violation or the written Warning are two (2) separate things. If they receive an
initial Warning, we try to go through the steps of educating them of why they’re in Violation. The Citation is
something totally separate from a Warning, and they both indicate – one will say this is a Citation that comes with
a Fine; and then the written warnings or the Code Enforcement door hanger - there are a couple of ways we make
them aware of that. So, a Citation is very, very easy to see. It comes with either a fifty [dollar] ($50.00), seventy-
five [dollar] ($75.00), hundred dollar ($100.00) Fine.”
Deputy Mayor Hovey then said to Chief Brunelle, “I will talk to you about this gentleman after the meeting.”

REQUEST: Request That The City Commission Hold A Public Hearing For The First Reading Of
Ordinance No. (Number) 2011-11, Which Amends Article II, Division 4 Of Chapter 19, Utilities, Of The
City Code.
FISCAL IMPACT: No Utility Rates Are Affected By This Ordinance. No Funding Is Necessary To
Implement The Revisions Other Than The Advertising Costs Prior To Second Reading.
As Presented In The May 9th (2011) Agenda Item (Regular 600):
Application Fee Waiver – This Revision Would Decrease One-Time Application Fee Revenues (Presently
$20.00/Acct.; Approximately $1,500.00/FY [Fiscal Year]) But Would Also Increase The Likelihood Of
Timely Payment While Decreasing Staff Time On An Ongoing Basis.
Late Fee Waivers - Although Staff Believes Penalty Revenues Would Be Somewhat Reduced (Estimated As
Much As $8,000.00/FY [Fiscal Year]), Staff Efficiency Would Increase As Would Goodwill With Those
Customers Who Perceive The System To Be Unfair And Inflexible.
‘Cash Only’ Status – This Revision Is Primarily A Convenience Issue For The Customer. While It Is
Possible That Some Customers May Fall Back Into NSF (Non-Sufficient Funds) Status, The Prevailing Fees
Would Serve As The Appropriate Consequence/Disincentive.
Special Payment Arrangements – The Purpose Of This Revision Is To Work With The Customer Toward
Payment Of Their Ongoing User Fees While Chipping Away At Their Outstanding Balance. Wide
Utilization Of Payment Installments Will Not Exist, But To The Extent Utilized, Delinquent Account
Balances Are Expected To Decline As Well As Disconnections And Accounts Being Sent To ‘Collections’.
After-Hours Reconnection Fee – Revenues Would Increase In Order To Recover Additional And
Incremental Costs Related To After-Hours’ Reconnection Services.

Attorney Garganese read Ordinance 2011-11 by “Title” only.
Mr. Boyle began the discussion on this Agenda Item.
Ms. Kelly Balagia, Budget Analyst, Finance and Administrative Services Department elaborated on a previous
discussion point and noted, “The Commission had accepted Staff’s recommendation that the City Manager or his
designee be the determination of who would have to become a ‘Cash only customer’. Commissioner Krebs had
suggested that we have objective criteria surrounding the term ‘Chronic returned payment history’ and Legal
Counsel confirmed that. So, in light of the fact that we developed the objective criteria, it rendered unnecessary
the City Manager having to make that determination. So, the way this is set up is the objective criteria would
stand and it would direct someone to be a ‘Cash only customer’. Their appellate process would go through the
City Manager or his designee.”
Manager Smith asked the City Commission if this matched their recollection. No objections were voiced.
Ms. Balagia then said, “Other than that slight departure with that one, all the other revisions are as discussed.”
Mr. Boyle added, “Once the Ordinance has passed, then we will have a couple of other Resolutions.”

Summary And FY (Fiscal Year) 2011-2012 Annual Assessment Roll For Tax Year 2011 Relating To The
Oak Forest Wall And Beautification District And The Tuscawilla Lighting And Beautification Assessment
Area – Phases I And II To The Seminole County Tax Collector By September 15, 2011.
Mr. Boyle introduced this Agenda Item for discussion.
Commissioner Brown mentioned he had met with Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory
Committee Chairperson Mary Brook and Mr. Steve Richart, Urban Beautification Services Division Manager,
Community Development Department and stated, “It is my opinion and my opinion only, that it is somewhat
incongruent to advertise and be proud of the fact that we lower Taxes and then come back and raise a Fee.”
Commissioner Brown added, “To me, Taxes, Fees, Assessments are all Taxes, one way or another.”
Commissioner Bonner also noted that he had met with Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory
Committee Chairperson Brook and Mr. Richart who gave him a good understanding of the situation at hand.
Commissioner Bonner agreed with Commissioner Brown and said, “The timing is not necessarily right to proceed
with a Fee adjustment recommendation at this time. I would recommend that we further study this, drill into it a
little bit deeper, and see if we can’t come up with an alternative before we go back to the public with just a raise.”
Commissioner Bonner then remarked, “One of the points I did explore with them is whether or not there are more
needs within the community; and I walked away with an understanding that there may very well be more needs
within the community. So, one of the other things I would like to see our Board do is to explore the additional
needs. One of the ones that we spent a little bit of time talking about was streetlighting. There are parts of our
community and streets that are not currently served adequately by streetlighting.” Commissioner Bonner spoke
further about the safety and security of good streetlighting and added, “That is one of the things that I would like
our Board to take a look at, is where we may have needs to expand that.
Were we to subsequently reach a conclusion of expansion, there would be possibly the need to go back out to the
body and explore an expansion of this special taxing in the future. So, if we end up going down that path, it might
be more appropriate to address the total maintenance in the context of whether those needs exist in the future; and
I think the reserve is adequate for the next twelve (12) months to give the Board the time to really study these
broader issues and how that might govern our decisions for the future.”
Commissioner Krebs also noted that she had met with Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory
Committee Chairperson Brook and Mr. Richart. Commissioner Krebs then commented that she wanted to know
what the community thought; asked what if there is no increase; and inquired, “Do you actually need up to the one
[hundred] twenty-eight [dollars] ($128.00) cap?”
Commissioner Resnick remarked that he too had met with Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District
Advisory Committee Chairperson Brook; and commented about telephone calls and the Assessment.
Deputy Mayor Hovey then spoke briefly on the Assessment. Discussion.
Mayor Lacey asked Mr. Boyle, “Have you looked at what our payments on the Debt Service are, to see if the
same kind of creativity you have brought to some of the other Bonds, can be used here so that we could perhaps
lower the required Debt Service?”
Mr. Boyle responded, “We are vetting that right now.” Mayor Lacey then noted, “So, perhaps, given a year to
look at it, there might be some creativity there that helps?” Mr. Boyle said, “There could be.”
Further discussion.

Manager Smith complimented the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Committee and
noted, “Staff and I have had some conversations about this issue and we still have some issues that we’d like to
flush out. We don’t know that they will prove to be successful in reducing our cost, but we’d like to find out; so, I
would ask this Board to consider maintaining the Rate at its current level for another year to give Staff the
opportunity to flush out a couple of options. Some of them have been alluded to here tonight – Fund Balance
levels, debt restructuring, debt refinancing, to give us that opportunity to do that; report back to you during our
Quarterly Financial reports as to the status. We may find that we have to come back to you and ask for this Rate
increase next year.”
Mayor Lacey commented, “I am looking for a Motion to Approve Resolution 2011-34 as presented or as
Amended.”

THE TUSCAWILLA MAINTENANCE FUND.” MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BROWN.

REQUEST: Requests The City Commission Consider The Health Insurance Proposal For FY (Fiscal
Year) [20']12.
FISCAL IMPACT: Due To Proactive Management Of Our Overall Personnel Compliment, If Both Plans
And The New Subsidies Are Approved By The Commission The City’s Health Care Cost Will Increase
Annually By Approximately $18,000.00 (Currently Budgeted For FY [Fiscal Year] [20']12). We Estimate
That This Cost Sharing Approach Will Begin To Reduce In The Cumulative Loss Ratio Which Is The
Single Most Important Indicator Of Future Health Care Rate Increases.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve Resolution 2011-35 Amending The Commission’s Rules And
Procedures To Permit Public Input At The Beginning And End Of City Commission Meetings, And
Restating The Remaining Rules And Procedures.
Attorney Garganese introduced this Agenda Item and proposed Resolution and said to the City Commission,
“Based on your direction, I made two (2) Amendments to the Commission Rules and Procedures. On ‘Page 4 of
7’, under ‘Delegations.’, - open forum, I added a sentence, ‘Delegations shall be scheduled at the beginning (after
reports); and end of each Commission meeting, subject to other applicable provisions of this Resolution’. Per
your direction, you requested that we have two (2) open forum time periods for each Commission meeting, and at
the beginning and at the end. That sentence will accomplish that direction.
And then also on ‘Page 5 of 7’ in first paragraph ‘2.’ on that page, I added a sentence with respect to Delegations,
‘Further, it is not appropriate to readdress quasi-judicial and public hearing items previously addressed by the City
Commission at the same meeting’. I added that just for clarification purposes. If you’re going to have an open
forum at the end of the meeting, it would be inappropriate to have somebody re-argue a quasi-judicial matter.
They need to be here for that matter when it is called. So, those are the two (2) changes.”
Deputy Mayor Hovey asked Attorney Garganese, “If someone shows up and is here at the beginning for Public
Input - we have citizens who have been here and they give us their three (3) minutes of information and then it
comes time at the end – if they have already given us three (3), can they talk for another three (3) at the end?”
Attorney Garganese responded, “They could, but of course repetitive statements are typically not acceptable. The
Commission has some discretion there. But if they wanted to come and speak again at the end of the meeting on
another, make another comment, the Commission would hear them.”
Deputy Mayor Hovey then commented, “But if it was reiterating the same thing that they had given us – the three
(3) minutes…” Attorney Garganese noted, “…The Mayor could call that ‘Out of order’, ‘Repetitive comments’,
‘Argument comments’.”
“MOTION TO APPROVE (RESOLUTION 2011-35).” MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BROWN.
