AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS
AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS
100. Finance and Administrative Services Department
REQUEST:
The Finance and Administrative Services Department is requesting the Mayor and City Commission
receive a presentation from Steven Alexander of The PFM Group, on the Operating Fund Investment
Report Fiscal Year Ending 2013.
Mr. Steven Alexander, Managing Director, CTP, CGFO, The PFM Group, 300 South Orange Avenue, Suite 1170,
Orlando, Florida: addressed the City Commission on economic conditions, the bond-purchase program, market
activity, interest rates,Federal Reserve Chairmanships, and debt ceiling.
Mr. Alexander then noted that he had not yet spoken with Mr. Shawn Boyle, Director, Finance and
Administrative Services Department on this, "But something we need to think about upcoming in 2014, is
revising or at least, looking at the Investment Policy. The markets have changed over the last couple of years and
I want to be sure we're prepared for the next round of changes so we'll have to kind of think through that; there
may be some recommendations that we might want to make."
With further remarks, Mr. Alexander stated, "It's been really an enjoyable experience working with the Staff here
and making sure that we have the assets in the right place." Comments continued.
Concluding his presentation, Mr. Alexander said, "Just to summarize,that the Strategy going forward, a couple of
things - we'll be looking to keep the portfolio up a little bit longer in the next couple of months to see what
happens with the bond-purchase program. I think 2014 is going to be a change in interest rate cycles; I think we
could experience some higher interest rates going forward. The big question is as interest rates rose over the
summertime, did that interest rate increase enough to compensate if the bond-purchase program has slowed down;
so -could we see higher interest rates again? Most likely we'll see some movement there. And then I think from
an overall strategy standpoint, we'll need to look at the Investment Policy and see what change we need to make
for a new interest rate scenario coming forth. We'll be sure to stay on top of that for you."

not have the realignment Easement from the adjoining property owner. Can you address that?"
Mr. Stevenson remarked, "We have the Attorney here with all the Agreements tonight representing the HOA
(Homeowner's Association); if you'd like to hear from him. We have the document executed by both parties that
approves that realignment and then it's an internal agreement between the HOA (Homeowner's Association) and
the Developer; but the primary entrance relative to this plan is the relocation of that Easement for the driveway to
facilitate it be designed and installed as your plans indicate tonight."

Mr. Bob Ziegenfuss, 708 East Colonial Drive, #100, Orlando, Florida: as the Engineer of Record, Mr.
Ziegenfuss stated, "We have looked at the access location for this very closely. As you heard mentioned and was
discussed before, the public input section about the relocation of that drive; that was for, not only to move it
further away from the intersection of State Road 434, but also for visibility concerns. That's the best location for
that particular piece of property from the visibility standpoint; folks exiting the school, gives them the best
vantage point to see any traffic coming from either direction. And the access to State Road 434,unfortunately the
Department of Transportation would not grant access to this site.
References to the entrance to the proposed project and to the Townhomes were addressed next; and
Commissioner Hovey inquired, "Is it a day care or is it a school?"

Continuing, Ms. Elsis stated, "We service six (6) weeks old to after school, they go up to twelve (12) years old;
and the drop off time varies, we're open at 6:30 in the morning—I'd say the drop off time ranges from about 6:30
to about 9:30; our parents just slowly filter in throughout the morning. End of day, about the same. It starts
picking up around 4:00, 4:30 and then we're open until 6:30 at night; and with forty (40) spots, it takes them
about on average I'd say, four(4) minutes, maybe two (2) in the morning because they're usually in a rush to get
in and out and then about four(4) in the afternoon to pick up,where they park, come in and pick up and take off."

Commissioner Brown suggested that we "Move to do one (1) meeting in May, one (1) in July, one (1) in
November, and one (1) in December." Commissioner Brown added that we always have the opportunity to
reschedule meetings if applicable and added it would be helpful so this issue does not have to be revisited from
time to time.
With discussion, Commissioner Krebs added, "I agree Commissioner Brown."
On the November schedule, Mayor Lacey suggested, "Like we have done the past couple of years, have it the
third Monday of November?" Commissioner Hovey noted that would be November the 17th 2014.
Commissioner Krebs stated, "Yes." Commissioner Hovey remarked,"Makes sense to me."
Commissioner Carroll commented on a Budget Workshop and should that be scheduled now; to which Manager
Smith stated, "It's your discretion; but to Commissioner Brown's point, one thing we would need to look at in
July — is obviously we need to have one (1) meeting. My recommendation would be that we have the second
meeting. The reason for that is we need to set the TRIM (Truth in Millage [Act]) notice to give to the Property
Appraiser. If we did not have the first meeting, we still need to have a Budget Workshop, not a full blown
meeting in order to get direction from you all to set that Tentative Millage. So, a recommendation — for the
second meeting in July, to cancel the first meeting but to go ahead a schedule a Budget Workshop which we can
do."
Mayor Lacey then suggested, "As a tweak to Commissioner Brown's proposal, since we need to meet twice in
July, have the Regular Meetings, combine the Budget Workshop with the first meeting and then go to one
meeting in June and August."
Tape 1/Side B
Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Resnick spoke of a concern should new projects coming in, to which Manager Smith stated,
"That's not the way we do business. We're not going to keep folks on hold."
Commissioner Krebs also noted,"Whatever you decide tonight can always be changed. We can look at it again in
a few months and if we see increase in business then we need to meet, then we can..." Mayor Lacey stated, "...I
agree completely..." Commissioner Brown added,"...That would be a good thing."

ALSO MEMORIAL DAY AND A CITY HOLIDAY; THUS, THERE WOULD BE ONE (1) REGULAR
MEETING HELD IN MAY 2014 WHICH WOULD BE THE FIRST MEETING IN MAY, SCHEDULED
SPECIFICALLY FOR MAY 12,2014.
WITH FURTHER COMMENTS, MANAGER SMITH POINTED OUT THAT WE WOULD CANCEL
"THE FIRST MEETING IN JUNE WHICH IS THE 9TH; THE JULY MEETING SCHEDULE WOULD
BE AS NORMAL. IN AUGUST- CANCEL THE FIRST MEETING WHICH WOULD BE THE 11TH; Ilv
NOVEMBER, IT WOULD BE TO CANCEL BOTH (REGULAR) MEETINGS AND TO ADD A
SPECIAL MEETING ON THE THIRD MONDAY WHICH IS THE 17TH, AND IN DECEMBER, TO
