Commissioner Gaiv Bonner mentioned to City Manager Kevin L. Smith about a previous discussion they had and
added, "I just want to once again get your assurance that this will be the last time that we are renewing this
agreement with this particular Vendor."
Manager Smith responded, "That is the goal. The only thing that would hinder that goal is a delay in
implementation of our new software." Manager Smith then commented on Regular Agenda Item "602 ", this
Agenda Item, and future plans for improved customer service with new and improved software. Further, Manager
Smith remarked, "Essentially, we're just asking to continue this Agreement, but our full intent is to come forward
with a recommendation to move away from this current Vendor."
Discussion followed on renewal periods, to which Manager Smith said that it was his preference to renew using
quarterly time periods; however, the current software Vendor was only offering annual renewals.
Continuing, Manager Smith then noted, "So, as we move towards the implementation presumably and hopefully
with the new software, if we reach a deadline that would put us into renewal, we're going to have to do something
different because I have no desire to renew this software into next year." Mayor Lacey suggested this process be
expedited.

Membership Level Reaches 550, And Authorize The City Manager And City Attorney To Prepare,
Execute, And Record Any And All Applicable Documents Including The Sixth Amendment To The
Settlement Agreement Between The City And Winter Springs Golf, LLC Consistent With The Direction
Given By The City Commission.
City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese began the discussion on this Agenda Item with an overview and how the
City Commission wants to address the fourth tennis court issue.
With further comments, Attorney Garganese explained, "The proposal is Staff's recommendation is to release the
development project site from the fourth tennis court, so the project could proceed through the normal course of
events including the issuance of C.O.'s (Certificate of Occupancy) and then separately, modify the Settlement
Agreement with the Club to memorialize that the fourth tennis court would be built no later than ninety (90) days
after the club membership reaches 550 members or if the Club wished to do it sooner, then they certainiv could do
that but that would be the deadline for the fourth tennis court."
Attorney Garganese noted, "We need to address this fourth tennis court issue first so we know how the other
items should be approved."
Commissioner Brown stated, "Point of Order" and commented on the public being able to speak.
Discussion followed on previous Agreements related to the City s Comprehensive Plan and the City Commission
giving direction to private businesses.
Attorney Garganese stated that "What Staff is proposing here is to release the development project from this
requirement so it could proceed under the normal course. That's one recommendation and then the Club would
agree to continue to build that fourth tennis court but when they reach 550 members, which they re still quite a
waN-s from doing."
Further discussion followed
CITY" OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY" COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING- OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 15 OF 31
Mayor Lacey said, "I think it is an essential part of this that we divide the split responsibility now between the
Developer and the Countiv Club because we have one tied to the other..." Commissioner Krebs added, "...It has
changed, yes..." Mayor Lacey continued, "...And so the Agreement that is put forward here tonight, solves that
problem, and I think it is essential that we do that."
Further, Mayor Lacey also noted his concerns with the City asking private businesses to meet certain guidelines.
Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
No one spoke.
Mayor Lacey closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department stated, "Just to address the Easements in `500.2',
we put in - an Easement matrix, a status of the ten (10) Easements that are required and related to this project.
Just as a quick summaiv is that nothing is past due in those Easements, the ones that needed to be Recorded have
been. The rest are in various stages of progress. That will come back to the Commission when this project goes
to Site acceptance. That is the time that we will present an Agenda Item stating that in order to get on the
Agenda, they have to have those Easements completed and recorded to our satisfaction. So, Easements are in
progress. Summaiv is `500.2."
Commissioner Bonner then noted, "I am not seeing or hearing that there are any other open matters to be resolved
between either of these parties and the City, on behalf of the citizens ?" Manager Smith responded, "Not that
we're aware of Commissioner. No."
Commissioner Bonner then mentioned he agreed with Commissioner Brown and Mayor Lacey about their
concerns with the City being involved in such business negotiations.
Further discussion
Mr. Monte Carmack, General Manager, Tuscawilla Country Club, 1.500 Winter ,Springs Boulevard, Winter
,Springs, Florida: stated, "One of the things I addressed last week and the only thing that I would say about the
number was 550 — but it was Golf and Tennis members because the social members cannot play Golf or Tennis;
so that's the only correction I'd want to make. And, that in the letter we sent vou, it said 550 Golf and Tennis. In
actuality, if we get 550 Golf and Tennis members, we're going to be building a Tennis Court anN
Commissioner Brown asked, "Would you see it as a good business venture, to provide those memberships, if it
wasn't required in the agreement ?" With further comments, Commissioner Brown clarified that his question dealt
with, "The requirement to have a Club membership for the people who buy the homes."
Mr. Daniel S. Thall, Morgran Management LLC, 450 North Wymore Road, Winter Park, Florida: remarked,
"That is alreadv done. We already have an Agreement. We are paying up front for sixty (60) memberships,
twelve (12) full Golf and forty -eight (48) Tennis memberships." Commissioner Brown then inquired, "And that
is fine with you, you would do it regardless of it being in the City s Agreement ?" Mr. Thall replied, "Yes."
Further comments
CITY" OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY" COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING- OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 16 OF 31
Attorney Garganese remarked, "What we're asking the Commission is to give direction for the fourth tennis court
because it is a piece of information that will affect the actual four (4) more items coming up. So, we just need
direction on what you want to do with the fourth tennis court. The waYT the Fifth Amendment to the Settlement
Agreement is drafted in your Agenda, it incorporates Staff s recommendation but there would be another
Agreement that would have to be entered into with the Club that we would have to prepare; but that's separate
and apart from the Development Application that's before you."
Next, Attorney Garganese then said, "The Settlement Agreement with the Club — that you could delegate that."
Attornev Garganese then said that he and the City Manager would review all the details and complete the
Agreement.
"I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF ITEM `500' TO
PROCEED WITH ALL APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS - WILL BE THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO
THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IF I AM READING THAT CORRECTLY, BETWEEN THE CITY
OF WINTER SPRINGS AND THE WINTER SPRINGS GOLF, LLC." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER
BONNER. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER KREBS. DISCUSSION.
MAYOR LACEY SUMMARIZED THE MOTION — "TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION
FOR ITEM `500' WHICH ESSENTIALLY DELEGATES PREPARATION OF THE SIXTH
AMENDMENT TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO TIE THE FOURTH TENNIS COURT TO
THE 550 MEMBERSHIP LEVEL IN THE COUNTRY CLUB."
COMMISSIONER BROWN STATED, "I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR FOR THE RECORD. WE
HEARD FROM THE DEVELOPER THAT THEY INTENDED TO PURCHASE THE CLUB
MEMBERSHIPS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT WAS IN THE AGREEMENT OR NOT. I JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM CLEAR WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER, THAT THAT
NUMBER THAT THE CITY I BELIEVE WRONGLY HAS IMPOSED INTO THIS CONTRACT,
REQUIRING YOU TO BUILD THAT TENNIS COURT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD DO
ANYWAYS AS YOU STATED, WHEN THE NUMBERS CAME TO THAT 550; AND IT BEING IN THE
CITY'S REQUIREMENTS, DOESN'T IMPOSE ANY HARDSHIP."
FROM HIS SEAT, MR. CARMACK STATED, "THAT WOULD BE CORRECT."
COMMISSIONER BROWN ALSO MENTIONED FOR THE RECORD THAT HE DOES NOT
SUPPORT GOVERNMENT IMPOSING SUCH REQUIREMENTS.
MAYOR LACEY THEN COMMENTED, "THE RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR 550
MEMBERSHIPS. THE GENERAL MANAGER WANTED THAT TO SAY, 550 GOLF AND TENNIS
MEMBERSHIPS. DO WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION THERE?"
MANAGER SMITH SAID, "WE HAVE NO DIFFERENCE OF OPINION."
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THIS WOULD BE ENFORCED.
MAYOR LACEY ADDED, "WHY ARE WE IMPLEMENTING A REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE
NO INTENTION TO ENFORCE?"
FURTHER COMMENTS.
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT THAT WE TAKE THAT PIECE OUT — THE 550,
TAKE IT OUT - THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT. I BELIEVE HE WILL DO IT. HE IS A

THE COMMISSION IS INCLINED TO RELEASE THE FOURTH TENNIS COURT, I WOULD
SUGGEST THAT AS A CONDITION OF RELEASING IT, THAT YOU GET THE NECESSARY
EASEMENTS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE INCLUDED INTO THE
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. THERE ARE JUST EASEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE GRANTED. I
HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THOSE EASEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE GRANTED BASED ON MY
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CLUB AND THE DEVELOPER. IT IS A
LOOSE END. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING SOME BENEFIT TO THE CLUB BY
RELEASING THE FOURTH TENNIS COURT, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU GET THOSE EASEMENTS TO THIS PROJECT, AND I BET THE DEVELOPER WANTS
TO ENSURE THE SAME."
WITH FURTHER COMMENTS, ATTORNEY GARGANESE NOTED, "IT'S GOING TO BE AN
AMENDMENT TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO RELEASE THE CLUB OF THE TENNIS
COURT - IT DOESN'T ADDRESS THE EASEMENTS."

FISCAL IMPACT: The Potential Tax Revenue Of The Proposed Project Is Estimated As Follows:
Townhomes (60 Units)

$9,720,000.00/1000 = $9,720.00

RECOMMENDATION: Staff And The Planning And Zoning Board Recommend That The City
Commission Act On The Requests For The Tuscawilla Greens Project As Follows: 1) Approve The
Modified Preliminary /Final Engineering Plans To Accommodate The Proposed townhome Development;
And, 2) Approve The Amended Development Agreement And Authorize The City Manager And City
Attorney To Finalize The Document For Execution And Recordation.
Mr. Fields gave a brief summaiv of this Agenda Item and remarked, "The only new information in the Agenda
Item is the Easement matrix I spoke about before. Those Easements need to be in place before we can accept the
site and before Certificates of Occupancy can be given; so as a minimum, those Easements need to be in place
before that time."
Discussion.
Commissioner Bonner said to Mr. Fields, "MST concern is, by granting Engineering, the Developer could move
ahead and do what the Developer can do, prior to those Easements being available. That would alter the property
from its current status and in the event that the Easements were not received, the project would not be able to
proceed to conclusion while that matter was resolved. So, the community would be impacted potentially by a
change in the status quo for the property because some activity had transpired in anticipation of the awarding of
the Easements."
Mr. Fields remarked, "The approach to the Easements is no different here, than we've done on other projects — is
that they design the site. There are water mains, walls, fences, drainage pipes that need to be in Easements, that
infrastructure gets built and then they record the Easements over the built infrastructure. Before we allow them to
occupy units, those Easements have to be in place. So, the process here is the same as we have for other projects.
The oniv difference here is that some of those Easements are being dedicated by the Counhy Club because they re
on Counhy Club property."
Additionally, Mr. Fields suggested, "I don't think we have any problem as long as we proceed with the direction
that the Commission just gave to have some leverage over the Countiy Club to have them execute these Easement
agreements."
Discussion followed on avoiding eyesores, the timing of the Easements, the process, the order of work to be done,
different possible scenarios, the number of Easements and the related status of the Easements.
Mr. Fields noted, "Probably at the next Meeting, they will be coming in with their Final Plat and with that Plat, in
order to record it, they will need to post a Letter of Credit, which they don't have today." Furthermore, Mr. Fields
explained that the Letter of Credit is "To restore the site. However, if the Easements were veiy much a concern,
you could make that a condition of Approval of the Final Engineering such that we would verify that they are in
place before doing any additional work."
Further discussion
Mr. Thall commented about normal processes.
Attorney Garganese remarked, "The Easement issue has been pending for several Nears now. They need to be
completed, at least with respect to the Emergency Ingress /Egress Easement; we have the Drainage Easements for
ponds that have already been completed, that includes Ingress /Egress for the City across the 10 "' Faiix-my, all of
those Easements were worked out and provided, and we never received them after Commission Approval."
CITY" OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY" COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING- OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 21 OF 31
Furthermore, Attorney Garganese pointed out, "These Easements need to be granted and if it takes them granting
the Easements before they can proceed with work, pursuant to the Engineering, I think that's reasonable under the
circumstances of this particular Development project."
Commissioner Bonner remarked about the high visibility of this area; and comments followed on being
reasonable. Commissioner Brown then noted, "I don't think it is an unreasonable request to make sure that once
that starts moving f6i xvard, it moves foI to completion."
Mr. Thall stated, "I think we would be happier if you have to tie the requirement to something, to tie it to vertical
construction. Anything that Nve would do between now and vertical construction would only be an improvement.
The things that are left on the site work are the perimeter fence, sign monument. I mean these are all things that
will only go to improve the property. So, if this is a decision of the Commission, to hold this, even though that's
not the policy that I was told was in place, it would seem less damaging to us at least if we could do some of the
things that need to be done and mostly, our concern is to secure the site."
Discussion followed on Winter Springs' image with business, stressing that Winter Springs becomes more
business friendly, and the process for this project.

In regards to extra parking, Commissioner Krebs noted, "There are times where it is possible to create a project
that has that extra — that wasn't the case here."
Commissioner Resnick inquired, "Where do visitors go ?" Mr. Fields responded, "The lack of visitor parking was
a concern. It was relayed to the original Developer. It was discussed at length in that original development. We
relayed that to the new Developer. Their plan here is an improvement in the parking, still not providing off site,
or on site visitor parking away from someone's driveway , however, they do have more parking available in the

Ms. Joanne Dallca, Director, Information Services Department addressed the City Commission and presented
various aspects of this Agenda Item and expected improvements.
Mr. Joe Alcala, MCSE, CISSP, IT Coordinator /Security Administrator, Information Services Department
commented on the Request for Proposal (RFP) bidders, results, and scoring factors. Remarking on various
options Staff was interested in, Mr. Alcala noted, "We looking at various ways to cut that ongoing maintenance
down." Furthermore, in commenting on the capabilities of such a system, Mr. Alcala pointed out, "We're not just
replacing a phone system, but it's opening a tremendous amount of opportunities for us, to do some really great
things within the City to service our citizens and our internal constituents, here within City Hall, if you will."
Features of the sN-stems that Staff was looking forward were referenced and ways such a system could assist Staff
With better customer service measurement capability; Nvays Staff could now develop a true Call Center,
incorporating intelligence into this network system, virtual workforce capability; and other technical options
available with such a "Voice over Internet Protocol" (VoIP) telephone system.
Manager Smith then commented on new technology options to improve customer service options for our
customers.
Mr. Shawn Boyle, Director, Finance and Administrative Services Department spoke on customer service issues
and how the implementation of this new sN-stem would be a major improvement to customer service practices in
many ways, such as improving the perception of how government can help; improving efficiency, and wanting to
be able to do more.
CITY" OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY" COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING- OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 28 OF 31
Continuing with his comments, Mr. Boyle explained, "We're held captive to a bunch of third party Vendors right
now - for our credit card processing, and several other things. One of the things we're looking at doing is
bringing that in house, because we can control again the quality of the product; and we can also eliminate some
costs by doing that too, so this is another step in that direction." Manager Smith added, "'Costs' is another word
for `Convenience Fees' — we're looking to eliminate those."
Mr. Boyle then remarked, "Give us the tolls, give us the technology and I promise you — we'll deliver. We will
deliver what you guys want us to deliver and we will exceed your expectations." Furthermore, Mr. Boyle noted,
"We truly* are excited about this and - the phone system is the key* to starting this whole process off. So, give us
an opportunity*. An ROI (Return On Investment), we'll come back and we'll show you the ROI (Return On
Investment), both tangible and intangibles on top of it."
Commissioner Bonner stated, "I have no question about the feature set or the intent or the end result. Absolutely*
spot on, and my compliments to the team in working that direction." Commissioner Bonner then inquired about
the Vendor selection process and discussion followed on the RFP's (Request for Proposal) that were submitted.
Manager Smith commented on the reality* that often we receive Bids and RFP's (Request for Proposal) that
perhaps may not include eveiN thing we requested.
Discussion followed with Ms. Dalka who mentioned that the Vendor that Staff is recommending be awarded the
Bid, is not in actuality* the highest bidder "Is actually* not, when you're comparing apples to apples."
Mr. Alcala noted that one Vendor did not provide the number of handsets requested was roughly* fifty* percent
(50 %), and mentioned that a Bid did not include network switches. With such items not included in other
submitted RFP's (Request for Proposal), Mr. Alcala explained, "If I have to provide that on my own, I will go out
to State Contract, and this is what it is going to cost me. Again, one of the things we wanted to do was eliminate
that two (2) Vendor situation where I go to one Vendor here, one Vendor there. If something doesn't work,
they're pointing fingers at each other and I'm the one in the middle."
Additionally*, Mr. Alcala remarked, "The ironic thing we found out later on, after reviewing everything, Veylec
was the only Vendor that actually downloaded the - RFP (Request for Proposal) - again, I think that speaks to —
they got our vision of what we are tieing to achieve I think. I think their Bid reflects that. Yes, you look at it and
you are going, Joe ( Alcala), they were the most expensive. But again, I think the vision that Shawn (Boyle) has
talked about, that we've talked about, that Kevin (Smith) has talked about. I think that Vendor realized it and got
it and saw what we were tieing to achieve."
Further comments followed on whether VeNlec would be in business, down the road to further assist us
"I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY. SECONDED

MANAGER SMITH ASKED IF THE COMMISSION HAD ENOUGH INFORMATION AND WERE
COMFORTABLE WITH THE DECISION.
COMMISSIONER BONNER STATED, "I AM COMFORTABLE DIRECTIONALLY AND
CONCEPTUALLY. I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO SEE THE MULTI -PHASE PLAN AND SORT
OF YOUR ROAD MAP OF HOW THIS IS GOING TO STITCH TOGETHER IN ANTICIPATION OF
ADDITIONAL SPENDING IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS AND SORT OF THE TIME

PUBLIC INPUT
Ms. Pam Carroll, 865 Dyson Drive, Winter ,Springs, Florida: commented on Consent Agenda Item "204 ",
mentioned that no one from the City had responded to an email that she sent out yesterday related to this Agenda
Item, and suggested that the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisor* Committee should have
been informed of the process, as they represent the citizens in the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District.
Mavor Lacey*, Members of the City Commission, and Manager Smith noted that they never received this email
from Ms. Carroll.
NOTE: After this meeting, the Information ,Services Department reported that an email from Ms. Carroll had
been dropped by an Internet provider due to the excessive size of the email, thus no one in the City received the
email.
Much discussion.
Mavor Lacey* said that he did not think that the financing of this Debt reduction fell under the guidance of the
Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advismy Committee and stated, "I am comfortable with the
process."
Commissioner Krebs remarked that she agreed with what Mayor Lacey* had said, "We were on a roll with Shawn
(Boyle) and Kevin (Smith) doing the best, absolute best job. I am so proud of you guys for what you have done,
and continue to do, to bring savings like this and I thought it was really* being welcomed."
Ms. Carroll then spoke again about the email she sent and said she would check on what might have happened.
Mavor Lacey* added, "Make sure Andrea (Lorenzo- Luaces) is on your list to ensure that we get it."
Further comments
Ms. Carroll then said, "I commend you on the end result however, the Advisor* Committee is supposed to be the
watchdog for the people who pay* that Special Assessment; it's not the whole Citv."
Tape 3r Side A
With further discussion regarding Ms. Carroll's email, Commissioner Bonner said that we should check into this
matter, and Ms. Carroll remarked, "I'll send it again."
Commissioner Bonner then stated, "In regard to your comments specifically* about the courtesy* of alerting our
citizen advisors, or at least the Chair of that organization to this undertaking, I do concur with your comment."
CITY" OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY" COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING- OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 30 OF 31
Continuing, Commissioner Bonner added that if Staff had contacted the Advisor* Committee, that that would
have been a nice courtesy*, but "It was staff responding to a direction. They did follow proper procedure. Thee
did do the diligence necessaiv to get us a good deal, and so on."
Furthermore, Commissioner Bonner noted, `I certainly* want to make sure we practice the best customer service
possible; and in this case, I think that we fell short of our goal in providing good courteous customer service.
And, I welcome your comments and I acknowledge what you are sharing with us and we can learn from this
experience and do better next time. That doesn't take awaNT from the success of the financial savings that have
been awarded to the citizens because the proper diligence did take place."
Deputy Mayor Hovey* commented on the timeframe needed to get this rate
Ms. Carroll further commented on her concerns and added, "I definitely* applaud the savings that were recognized,
and the due diligence."
Deputy* Mayor Hovey* further remarked, "We hear your concerns and it will be addressed."
Commissioner Krebs added, "I think that the Staff acted totally* appropriately*. I think the problem is here is our
Policies probably* don't cover something like that and in fact that is how we operate, this is our standard operating
procedure. We make that decision."
Continuing, Commissioner Krebs noted, "Never in the past, really*, not only have we not been in this situation, but
have we had Policies where we contacted Special Assessment Boards or whatever Board; so, maybe that is
something that we could go back and look at."
Commissioner Resnick remarked, "I think Staff did exactly* what we asked them to do. So, I think it is unfair to
say* Staff did not follow our direction, they* did. We just weren't one hundred percent (100 %) clear."
Further comments.
Commissioner Brown pointed out, "It was and only is, a courtesy* that was missed. And I don't think it was a ball
that dropped. I don't think it was a process not followed."
Discussion.
Commissioner Bonner mentioned that no Members of the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District
Advisory* Committee Meeting had discussed this matter with him; and remarked, "I stand by my statement that we
desire to practice excellent customer service and certainly* our volunteer advisors are included in that aspirational
goal that I for one, charge the Manager and Staff with, each and every* day.-
Mavor Lacey* said, "I want to express that none of this should diminish the feeling of accomplishment that Shawn
(BON and Steve (Richart, Urban Beautification Division Services, Community* Development Department) and
Kevin (Smith) should feel over pursuing this path and we appreciate them."
Manager Smith voiced his concerns on the perception and the many* efforts that Staff was working hard for the
citizens in saving money, and commented on his integrity. Commissioner Krebs said to Manager Smith, "That is
why- we keep you employed here." Commissioner Brown added, "Yes." Commissioner Krebs then noted, "We
just think you do a great job, and we thank you." Commissioner Brown remarked, "Thank you Kevin (Smith).
Mavor Lacey* added, "And you hire great people too." Deputy Mayor Hovey* remarked, "Thanks to eveivone!"

Commissioner Gary Bonner mentioned to City Manager Kevin L. Smith about a previous discussion they had and
added, "I just want to once again get your assurance that this will be the last time that we are renewing this
agreement with this particular Vendor."
Manager Smith responded, "That is the goal. The only thing that would hinder that goal is a delay in
implementation of our new software." Manager Smith then commented on Regular Agenda Item "602 ", this
Agenda Item, and future plans for improved customer service with new and improved software. Further, Manager
Smith remarked, "Essentially, we're just asking to continue this Agreement, but our full intent is to come forward
with a recommendation to move away from this current Vendor."
Discussion followed on renewal periods, to which Manager Smith said that it was his preference to renew using
quarterly time periods; however, the current software Vendor was only offering annual renewals.
Continuing, Manager Smith then noted, "So, as we move towards the implementation presumably and hopefully
with the new software, if we reach a deadline that would put us into renewal, we're going to have to do something
different because I have no desire to renew this software into next year." Mayor Lacey suggested this process be
expedited.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends The City Commission Approve The Request By Winter
Springs Golf, LLC And Morgran Greens, LLC To Require Winter Springs Golf, LLC To Commence
Construction Of The Fourth Tennis Court No Later Than 90 Days After The Tuscawilla Country Club's
Membership Level Reaches 550, And Authorize The City Manager And City Attorney To Prepare,
Execute, And Record Any And All Applicable Documents Including The Sixth Amendment To The
Settlement Agreement Between The City And Winter Springs Golf, LLC Consistent With The Direction
Given By The City Commission.
City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese began the discussion on this Agenda Item with an overview and how the
City Commission wants to address the fourth tennis court issue.
With further comments, Attorney Garganese explained, "The proposal is Staff's recommendation is to release the
development project site from the fourth tennis court, so the project could proceed through the normal course of
events including the issuance of C.O.'s (Certificate of Occupancy) and then separately, modify the Settlement
Agreement with the Club to memorialize that the fourth tennis court would be built no later than ninety (90) days
after the club membership reaches 550 members or if the Club wished to do it sooner, then they certainly could do
that but that would be the deadline for the fourth tennis court."
Attorney Garganese noted, "We need to address this fourth tennis court issue first so we know how the other
items should be approved."
Commissioner Brown stated, "Point of Order" and commented on the public being able to speak.
Discussion followed on previous Agreements related to the City's Comprehensive Plan and the City Commission
giving direction to private businesses.
Attorney Garganese stated that "What Staff is proposing here is to release the development project from this
requirement so it could proceed under the normal course. That's one recommendation and then the Club would
agree to continue to build that fourth tennis court but when they reach 550 members, which they're still quite a
ways from doing."
Further discussion followed.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 15 OF 31
Mayor Lacey said, "I think it is an essential part of this that we divide the split responsibility now between the
Developer and the Country Club because we have one tied to the other..." Commissioner Krebs added, "...It has
changed, yes..." Mayor Lacey continued, "...And so the Agreement that is put forward here tonight, solves that
problem, and I think it is essential that we do that."
Further, Mayor Lacey also noted his concerns with the City asking private businesses to meet certain guidelines.
Mayor Lacey opened the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
No one spoke.
Mayor Lacey closed the "Public Input" portion of the Agenda Item.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department stated, "Just to address the Easements in `500.2',
we put in - an Easement matrix, a status of the ten (10) Easements that are required and related to this project.
Just as a quick summary is that nothing is past due in those Easements, the ones that needed to be Recorded have
been. The rest are in various stages of progress. That will come back to the Commission when this project goes
to Site acceptance. That is the time that we will present an Agenda Item stating that in order to get on the
Agenda, they have to have those Easements completed and recorded to our satisfaction. So, Easements are in
progress. Summary is `500.2'."
Commissioner Bonner then noted, "I am not seeing or hearing that there are any other open matters to be resolved
between either of these parties and the City, on behalf of the citizens ?" Manager Smith responded, "Not that
we're aware of Commissioner. No."
Commissioner Bonner then mentioned he agreed with Commissioner Brown and Mayor Lacey about their
concerns with the City being involved in such business negotiations.
Further discussion.
Mr. Monte Carmack, General Manager, Tuscawilla Country Club, 1500 Winter Springs Boulevard, Winter
Springs, Florida: stated, "One of the things I addressed last week and the only thing that I would say about the
number was 550 — but it was Golf and Tennis members because the social members cannot play Golf or Tennis;
so that's the only correction I'd want to make. And, that in the letter we sent you, it said 550 Golf and Tennis. In
actuality, if we get 550 Golf and Tennis members, we're going to be building a Tennis Court anyway."
Commissioner Brown asked, "Would you see it as a good business venture, to provide those memberships, if it
wasn't required in the agreement ?" With further comments, Commissioner Brown clarified that his question dealt
with, "The requirement to have a Club membership for the people who buy the homes."
Mr. Daniel S. Thall, Morgran Management, LLC, 450 North Wymore Road, Winter Park, Florida: remarked,
"That is already done. We already have an Agreement. We are paying up front for sixty (60) memberships,
twelve (12) full Golf and forty -eight (48) Tennis memberships." Commissioner Brown then inquired, "And that
is fine with you, you would do it regardless of it being in the City's Agreement ?" Mr. Thall replied, "Yes."
Further comments.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 16 OF 31
Attorney Garganese remarked, "What we're asking the Commission is to give direction for the fourth tennis court
because it is a piece of information that will affect the actual four (4) more items coming up. So, we just need
direction on what you want to do with the fourth tennis court. The way the Fifth Amendment to the Settlement
Agreement is drafted in your Agenda, it incorporates Staff's recommendation but there would be another
Agreement that would have to be entered into with the Club that we would have to prepare; but that's separate
and apart from the Development Application that's before you."
Next, Attorney Garganese then said, "The Settlement Agreement with the Club — that you could delegate that."
Attorney Garganese then said that he and the City Manager would review all the details and complete the
Agreement.
"I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION OF ITEM `500' TO
PROCEED WITH ALL APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS - WILL BE THE SIXTH AMENDMENT TO

OF WINTER SPRINGS AND THE WINTER SPRINGS GOLF, LLC." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER

FOR ITEM `500' WHICH ESSENTIALLY DELEGATES PREPARATION OF THE SIXTH
AMENDMENT TO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO TIE THE FOURTH TENNIS COURT TO
THE 550 MEMBERSHIP LEVEL IN THE COUNTRY CLUB."
COMMISSIONER BROWN STATED, "I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR FOR THE RECORD. WE
HEARD FROM THE DEVELOPER THAT THEY INTENDED TO PURCHASE THE CLUB
MEMBERSHIPS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT WAS IN THE AGREEMENT OR NOT. I JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM CLEAR WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER, THAT THAT
NUMBER THAT THE CITY I BELIEVE WRONGLY HAS IMPOSED INTO THIS CONTRACT,
REQUIRING YOU TO BUILD THAT TENNIS COURT. IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD DO
ANYWAYS AS YOU STATED, WHEN THE NUMBERS CAME TO THAT 550; AND IT BEING IN THE
CITY'S REQUIREMENTS, DOESN'T IMPOSE ANY HARDSHIP."
FROM HIS SEAT, MR. CARMACK STATED, "THAT WOULD BE CORRECT."
COMMISSIONER BROWN ALSO MENTIONED FOR THE RECORD THAT HE DOES NOT
SUPPORT GOVERNMENT IMPOSING SUCH REQUIREMENTS.
MAYOR LACEY THEN COMMENTED, "THE RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR 550
MEMBERSHIPS. THE GENERAL MANAGER WANTED THAT TO SAY, 550 GOLF AND TENNIS
MEMBERSHIPS. DO WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION THERE ?"
MANAGER SMITH SAID, "WE HAVE NO DIFFERENCE OF OPINION."
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THIS WOULD BE ENFORCED.
MAYOR LACEY ADDED, "WHY ARE WE IMPLEMENTING A REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE
NO INTENTION TO ENFORCE ?"
FURTHER COMMENTS.
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT THAT WE TAKE THAT PIECE OUT — THE 550,

SUGGEST THAT AS A CONDITION OF RELEASING IT, THAT YOU GET THE NECESSARY
EASEMENTS FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE SAID, "IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE INCLUDED INTO THE
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. THERE ARE JUST EASEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE GRANTED. I
HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THOSE EASEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE GRANTED BASED ON MY
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE CLUB AND THE DEVELOPER. IT IS A
LOOSE END. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING SOME BENEFIT TO THE CLUB BY
RELEASING THE FOURTH TENNIS COURT, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU GET THOSE EASEMENTS TO THIS PROJECT, AND I BET THE DEVELOPER WANTS

RECOMMENDATION: Staff And The Planning And Zoning Board Recommend That The City
Commission Act On The Requests For The Tuscawilla Greens Project As Follows: 1) Approve The
Modified Preliminary /Final Engineering Plans To Accommodate The Proposed townhome Development;
And, 2) Approve The Amended Development Agreement And Authorize The City Manager And City
Attorney To Finalize The Document For Execution And Recordation.
Mr. Fields gave a brief summary of this Agenda Item and remarked, "The only new information in the Agenda
Item is the Easement matrix I spoke about before. Those Easements need to be in place before we can accept the
site and before Certificates of Occupancy can be given; so as a minimum, those Easements need to be in place
before that time."
Discussion.
Commissioner Bonner said to Mr. Fields, "My concern is, by granting Engineering, the Developer could move
ahead and do what the Developer can do, prior to those Easements being available. That would alter the property
from its current status and in the event that the Easements were not received, the project would not be able to
proceed to conclusion while that matter was resolved. So, the community would be impacted potentially by a
change in the status quo for the property because some activity had transpired in anticipation of the awarding of
the Easements."
Mr. Fields remarked, "The approach to the Easements is no different here, than we've done on other projects — is
that they design the site. There are water mains, walls, fences, drainage pipes that need to be in Easements, that
infrastructure gets built and then they record the Easements over the built infrastructure. Before we allow them to
occupy units, those Easements have to be in place. So, the process here is the same as we have for other projects.
The only difference here is that some of those Easements are being dedicated by the Country Club because they're
on Country Club property."
Additionally, Mr. Fields suggested, "I don't think we have any problem as long as we proceed with the direction
that the Commission just gave to have some leverage over the Country Club to have them execute these Easement
agreements."
Discussion followed on avoiding eyesores, the timing of the Easements, the process, the order of work to be done,
different possible scenarios, the number of Easements and the related status of the Easements.
Mr. Fields noted, "Probably at the next Meeting, they will be coming in with their Final Plat and with that Plat, in
order to record it, they will need to post a Letter of Credit, which they don't have today." Furthermore, Mr. Fields
explained that the Letter of Credit is "To restore the site. However, if the Easements were very much a concern,
you could make that a condition of Approval of the Final Engineering such that we would verify that they are in
place before doing any additional work."
Further discussion.
Mr. Thall commented about normal processes.
Attorney Garganese remarked, "The Easement issue has been pending for several years now. They need to be
completed, at least with respect to the Emergency Ingress /Egress Easement; we have the Drainage Easements for
ponds that have already been completed, that includes Ingress /Egress for the City across the 10` Fairway, all of
those Easements were worked out and provided, and we never received them after Commission Approval."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 21 OF 31
Furthermore, Attorney Garganese pointed out, "These Easements need to be granted and if it takes them granting
the Easements before they can proceed with work, pursuant to the Engineering, I think that's reasonable under the
circumstances of this particular Development project."
Commissioner Bonner remarked about the high visibility of this area; and comments followed on being
reasonable. Commissioner Brown then noted, "I don't think it is an unreasonable request to make sure that once
that starts moving forward, it moves forward to completion."
Mr. Thall stated, "I think we would be happier if you have to tie the requirement to something, to tie it to vertical
construction. Anything that we would do between now and vertical construction would only be an improvement.
The things that are left on the site work are the perimeter fence, sign monument. I mean these are all things that
will only go to improve the property. So, if this is a decision of the Commission, to hold this, even though that's
not the policy that I was told was in place, it would seem less damaging to us at least if we could do some of the
things that need to be done and mostly, our concern is to secure the site."
Discussion followed on Winter Springs' image with business, stressing that Winter Springs becomes more
business friendly, and the process for this project.

Further discussion followed on the parking dilemmas, visitor parking, and holiday parking.
Mr. Fields also spoke on parking and added, "Here, there would be no visitor parking lot. It's something we
discussed in review. It's something that we recommended. We cannot require it by Code right now."
In regards to extra parking, Commissioner Krebs noted, "There are times where it is possible to create a project
that has that extra — that wasn't the case here."
Commissioner Resnick inquired, "Where do visitors go ?" Mr. Fields responded, "The lack of visitor parking was
a concern. It was relayed to the original Developer. It was discussed at length in that original development. We
relayed that to the new Developer. Their plan here is an improvement in the parking, still not providing off site,
or on site visitor parking away from someone's driveway; however, they do have more parking available in the
driveway in these units, than they had in the condominium units."

Ms. Joanne Dalka, Director, Information Services Department addressed the City Commission and presented
various aspects of this Agenda Item and expected improvements.
Mr. Joe Alcala, MCSE, CISSP, IT Coordinator /Security Administrator, Information Services Department
commented on the Request for Proposal (RFP) bidders, results, and scoring factors. Remarking on various
options Staff was interested in, Mr. Alcala noted, "We looking at various ways to cut that ongoing maintenance
down." Furthermore, in commenting on the capabilities of such a system, Mr. Alcala pointed out, "We're not just
replacing a phone system, but it's opening a tremendous amount of opportunities for us, to do some really great
things within the City to service our citizens and our internal constituents, here within City Hall, if you will."
Features of the systems that Staff was looking forward were referenced and ways such a system could assist Staff
with better customer service measurement capability; ways Staff could now develop a true Call Center,
incorporating intelligence into this network system; virtual workforce capability; and other technical options
available with such a "Voice over Internet Protocol" (Vol?) telephone system.
Manager Smith then commented on new technology options to improve customer service options for our
customers.
Mr. Shawn Boyle, Director, Finance and Administrative Services Department spoke on customer service issues
and how the implementation of this new system would be a major improvement to customer service practices in
many ways, such as improving the perception of how government can help; improving efficiency; and wanting to
be able to do more.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 10, 2011 PAGE 28 OF 31
Continuing with his comments, Mr. Boyle explained, "We're held captive to a bunch of third party Vendors right
now - for our credit card processing, and several other things. One of the things we're looking at doing is
bringing that in house, because we can control again the quality of the product; and we can also eliminate some
costs by doing that too, so this is another step in that direction." Manager Smith added, 'Costs' is another word
for `Convenience Fees' — we're looking to eliminate those."
Mr. Boyle then remarked, "Give us the tolls, give us the technology and I promise you — we'll deliver. We will
deliver what you guys want us to deliver and we will exceed your expectations." Furthermore, Mr. Boyle noted,
"We truly are excited about this and - the phone system is the key to starting this whole process off. So, give us
an opportunity. An ROI (Return On Investment), we'll come back and we'll show you the ROI (Return On
Investment), both tangible and intangibles on top of it."
Commissioner Bonner stated, "I have no question about the feature set or the intent or the end result. Absolutely
spot on, and my compliments to the team in working that direction." Commissioner Bonner then inquired about
the Vendor selection process and discussion followed on the RFP's (Request for Proposal) that were submitted.
Manager Smith commented on the reality that often we receive Bids and RFP's (Request for Proposal) that
perhaps may not include everything we requested.
Discussion followed with Ms. Dalka who mentioned that the Vendor that Staff is recommending be awarded the
Bid, is not in actuality the highest bidder "Is actually not, when you're comparing apples to apples."
Mr. Alcala noted that one Vendor did not provide the number of handsets requested was roughly fifty percent
(50 %), and mentioned that a Bid did not include network switches. With such items not included in other
submitted RFP's (Request for Proposal), Mr. Alcala explained, "If I have to provide that on my own, I will go out
to State Contract, and this is what it is going to cost me. Again, one of the things we wanted to do was eliminate
that two (2) Vendor situation where I go to one Vendor here, one Vendor there. If something doesn't work,
they're pointing fingers at each other and I'm the one in the middle."
Additionally, Mr. Alcala remarked, "The ironic thing we found out later on, after reviewing everything, Veytec
was the only Vendor that actually downloaded the - RFP (Request for Proposal) - again, I think that speaks to —
they got our vision of what we are trying to achieve I think. I think their Bid reflects that. Yes, you look at it and
you are going, Joe (Alcala), they were the most expensive. But again, I think the vision that Shawn (Boyle) has
talked about, that we've talked about, that Kevin (Smith) has talked about. I think that Vendor realized it and got
it and saw what we were trying to achieve."
Further comments followed on whether Veytec would be in business, down the road to further assist us.

NOTE: After this meeting, the Information Services Department reported that an email from Ms. Carroll had
been dropped by an Internet provider due to the excessive size of the email, thus no one in the City received the
email.
Much discussion.
Mayor Lacey said that he did not think that the financing of this Debt reduction fell under the guidance of the
Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Advisory Committee and stated, "I am comfortable with the
process."
Commissioner Krebs remarked that she agreed with what Mayor Lacey had said, "We were on a roll with Shawn
(Boyle) and Kevin (Smith) doing the best, absolute best job. I am so proud of you guys for what you have done,
and continue to do, to bring savings like this and I thought it was really being welcomed."
Ms. Carroll then spoke again about the email she sent and said she would check on what might have happened.
Mayor Lacey added, "Make sure Andrea (Lorenzo - Luaces) is on your list to ensure that we get it."
Further comments.
Ms. Carroll then said, "I commend you on the end result however, the Advisory Committee is supposed to be the
watchdog for the people who pay that Special Assessment; it's not the whole City."

With further discussion regarding Ms. Carroll's email, Commissioner Bonner said that we should check into this
matter, and Ms. Carroll remarked, "I'll send it again."
Commissioner Bonner then stated, "In regard to your comments specifically about the courtesy of alerting our
citizen advisors, or at least the Chair of that organization to this undertaking, I do concur with your comment."

Continuing, Commissioner Bonner added that if Staff had contacted the Advisory Committee, that that would
have been a nice courtesy, but "It was staff responding to a direction. They did follow proper procedure. They
did do the diligence necessary to get us a good deal, and so on."
Furthermore, Commissioner Bonner noted, `I certainly want to make sure we practice the best customer service
possible; and in this case, I think that we fell short of our goal in providing good courteous customer service.
And, I welcome your comments and I acknowledge what you are sharing with us and we can learn from this
experience and do better next time. That doesn't take away from the success of the financial savings that have
been awarded to the citizens because the proper diligence did take place."
Deputy Mayor Hovey commented on the timeframe needed to get this rate.
Ms. Carroll further commented on her concerns and added, "I definitely applaud the savings that were recognized,
and the due diligence."
Deputy Mayor Hovey further remarked, "We hear your concerns and it will be addressed."
Commissioner Krebs added, "I think that the Staff acted totally appropriately. I think the problem is here is our
Policies probably don't cover something like that and in fact that is how we operate, this is our standard operating
procedure. We make that decision."
Continuing, Commissioner Krebs noted, "Never in the past, really, not only have we not been in this situation, but
have we had Policies where we contacted Special Assessment Boards or whatever Board; so, maybe that is
something that we could go back and look at."
Commissioner Resnick remarked, "I think Staff did exactly what we asked them to do. So, I think it is unfair to
say Staff did not follow our direction, they did. We just weren't one hundred percent (100 %) clear."
Further comments.
Commissioner Brown pointed out, "It was and only is, a courtesy that was missed. And I don't think it was a ball
that dropped. I don't think it was a process not followed."
Discussion.
Commissioner Bonner mentioned that no Members of the Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District
Advisory Committee Meeting had discussed this matter with him; and remarked, "I stand by my statement that we
desire to practice excellent customer service and certainly our volunteer advisors are included in that aspirational
goal that I for one, charge the Manager and Staff with, each and every day."
Mayor Lacey said, "I want to express that none of this should diminish the feeling of accomplishment that Shawn
(Boyle) and Steve (Richart, Urban Beautification Division Services, Community Development Department) and
Kevin (Smith) should feel over pursuing this path and we appreciate them."
Manager Smith voiced his concerns on the perception and the many efforts that Staff was working hard for the
citizens in saving money, and commented on his integrity. Commissioner Krebs said to Manager Smith, "That is
why we keep you employed here." Commissioner Brown added, "Yes." Commissioner Krebs then noted, "We
just think you do a great job, and we thank you." Commissioner Brown remarked, "Thank you Kevin (Smith).
Mayor Lacey added, "And you hire great people too." Deputy Mayor Hovey remarked, "Thanks to everyone!"
