Next, Commissioner Cade Resnick offered his thanks to the citizens and others for being able to participate in the
Florida League of Cities Annual Conference and that he attended three (3) presentations on technology and
referenced a book from one of the presenters which noted, "We need to evolve as a city through technology or we
become null and void". Commissioner Resnick then suggested that "I would like to ask all of us to ask the City to
put a presentation on what we are doing to bring us toward that 21" century — what is going on at City Hall and
how we are evolving as a City technologically."
Mayor Lacey spoke of technology and said, "I think we're talking about technology in terms of citizen outreach,
more efficient processes internally..." Commissioner Resnick stated, "...Right." Mayor Lacey added, "I would
like to see a focus on how it provides better services, at a better, cheaper cost, things like that - is that what you
are talking about?" Commissioner Resnick remarked, "Yes."
Commissioner Resnick then stated, "I would like to see, hear what we are doing before I bring any ideas forward,
beyond that." Commissioner Resnick elaborated, "With what you are doing as a Staff here at City Hall, as the
Mayor was saying, to benefit our citizens, to get our citizens to know what we are doing; some of our internal
projects that we might be putting together that I don't yet know about, and maybe other Commissioners don't yet
know about - so we know what is bettering our citizens lives, technologically."
City Manager Kevin L. Smith said he would be glad to assist and mentioned a half million dollar computer
implementation and asked if that was something Commissioner Resnick was alluding to. Commissioner Resnick
agreed, mentioned that this particular project had been discussed perhaps a year and half ago and added, "A year
and half ago, what has happened and where is that technology today, and what are we doing with it?"
Commissioner Resnick then commented briefly on what the City of Orlando was doing.
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs stated, "We know we have some pieces we are utilizing — newer technology but
we don't know really — how anybody here is finding it, what we are using it for, how is it going, where will it
lead us to in the future." With further remarks, Commissioner Krebs noted, "I would just like to know where we
are." Additionally, Commissioner Krebs asked, "Are we using - new technology that is out there, digital or
anything else; and how are we using it?" Furthermore, Commissioner Krebs suggested, "Where do we see
ourselves in the future?"
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING — AUGUST 25, 2014 PAGE 12 OF 24
Continuing, Commissioner Krebs said she was interested in how it related to communications and that others may
be interested in "How it is used everyday - does it make a difference in how we do our work, the forms that we
are filling out. I know we are doing things electronically now which is great." Referencing electronic paymen
as an example, Commissioner Krebs said that an in depth response was not necessary and suggested, "Just whe
we are with what we have." Mayor Lacey recommended, "Perhaps an update on the New Wort
implementation?"- Commissioner Krebs remarked, "Yes." Additionally, Commissioner Krebs thought th
perhaps the Commissioners could come to City Hall and briefly view what Staff has done. fi��
With further comments, Deputy Mayor Rick Brown noted some of the improvements made during recent yea
and suggested, "Maybe it is no more than just a one (1) or two (2) pager that highlights what we have done in t
past several years and the direction that we are going, just for an informational sheet. And if the Commissione
or others still don't feel that they have the information that they need, maybe we just tack on an Agenda Item t
one of the meetings and have Joanne just do a quick presentation of where we are going and what the direction
is.
Commissioner Krebs suggested that Manager Smith provide what the City Commission has received previously,
with perhaps an update, and that this would be helpful.
Discussion followed on whether we had a city app, that the City Commission knows technology changes cost
money, but wondered what the City Manager's wish list might include? Additional comments ensued.

RECOMMENDATION:
The City Manger and the Community Development Staff recommend that the City Commission review
and discuss the information contained herein and provide staff with direction regarding funding for the
UCF Incubator.
Deputy Mayor Brown stated, "On the advice of Counsel, I am going to recues myself from Voting on item `600'
due to the fact that I have a significant financial interest in an Incubator company."
Mr. Randy Stevenson, ASLA, AICP, Director, Community Development Department gave an overview of the
Agenda Item and said, "As of June of 2014, the Incubator had a total of twenty-four (24) clients with seven (7)
having been added, between October 1", 2013 and June 30th, 2014. Thirteen (13) companies have graduated from
the Incubator thus far with seven (7) remaining in Seminole County, three (3) in Maitland, one (1) in Lake
County, one (1) in South Florida, and one (1) deciding to pursue other endeavors."
Commissioner Krebs asked Mr. Stevenson about the ones that have "Remained in Seminole County - have any
remained in Winter Springs?" Mr. Stevenson responded, "Pursuant to my information, I do not believe so."
Discussion followed on the University of Central Florida (UCF) Incubator and that start-up companies such as
those affiliated with the Incubator are start-up type companies. Deputy Mayor Brown noted that along those
lines, "We lack two (2) things that would afford a new start-up company the opportunity to remain in Winter
Springs. One (1), we lack `spec' buildings at a reasonable rental rate that will allow companies to maintain
profitability while pursuing their own space once they graduate from the Incubator; and two (2), companies who
are coming out of the Incubator typically do not have, especially in this economy, the wherewithal to construct
their own building, be that in Winter Springs or anywhere else."
Further comments followed on the location of the University of Central Florida Incubator and its proximity
between area airports, the Port of Sanford, rail access, Research Park, the University of Central Florida, and the
military's simulation corridor, the lack thus far of a ROI (return on investment), that this probably is a waiting
type of game, investing in our future, that Winter Springs is a super place to reside, Incubator tours, things take
time to grow, potentially taking the investment money and using such monies for our economic development, and
how long do we wait.
Dr. Dan Holsenbeck, 1008 Nancy Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the City Commission on a previous
economic opportunity, and return on investment. Further, on behalf of the University of Central Florida, Dr.
Holsenbeck remarked that the University of Central Florida is a national University and added, "Part of our
mission is to support the total economic development and culture and quality of life in the entire area."
Continuing to speak on the University of Central Florida Incubator system, Dr. Holsenbeck added, "We get no
state support at UCF (University of Central Florida) for these Incubators."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 25, 2014 PAGE 22 OF 24
Dr. Holsenbeck then noted that "Epic Engineering, is about to relocate from the Central Florida Research Park to
Winter Springs. That company will bring with them eighteen (18) employees, plus a partnership subsidiary called
Genesis, which will have another two (2) employees. Ms. Birgitta Jorgenson is here and she is going to open very,
soon, in Winter Springs, The Irblich School — nine (9) employees." Continuing, Dr. Holsenbeck identifte
another company coming to Winter Springs, "NexGen (Global Technologies) which accounts for eight (8
employees. The owner Mr. Michael Romano of NexGen (Global Technologies) added, "We're actually up t
twelve (12)." Dr. Holsenbeck further mentioned "We have Mr. Robert Catron here who is from `Progra
Works', he's the CEO (Chief Executive Officer). That's in your Incubator and that's a total of six (6)
employees."
Continuing, Dr. Holsenbeck mentioned that "UCF (University of Central Florida) is going to continue to generate
and run the best Incubator system in Central Florida. As a matter of fact, we've already been recognized twice as
the national champion Incubator by the National Business Incubator Association, That Association has decided to
move its national headquarters right next door to where our Incubator network offices are located in the Central
Florida Research Park."
Furthermore, Dr. Holsenbeck remarked, "I pledge to you that we will work with every employer in our Incubator
to do a better job of orienting them towards you and the individual members to help them find what they need to
locate here. We've probably not done a good job in doing that in the past because we've been concentrating on
the big picture — we will do that in the future. We also pledge to you that we'll keep each one of you better
informed. We've had some of you out to visit the Incubator and we'll continue to do this."
Mr. Tom Babington, 134 Dellwood Drive, Longwood, Florida: representing Epic Engineering, noted they were
going to locate to the "Centerline" Building.
Mayor Lacey said to Dr. Holsenbeck, "If funding from the Winter Springs City Commission is not forthcoming
for the next fiscal year, can you tell me what the process will be and will things change?" Mayor Lacey added,
"Will the Incubator continue without the City of Winter Springs' funding?"
Dr. Holsenbeck explained, "We receive no other sources of funding to do this. We generate the support of all of
these institutions from our part internally. The average cost of running an Incubator is about three hundred
thousand dollars ($300,000.00) a year. So, with all of the support that we get, we will pool that. It is our hope to
continue to offer this service. But I cannot tell you that that paeans the doors will stay open or that the doors will
close. I can just tell you, it is our intent to maintain our entire Incubator system."
Ms. Birgitta Jorgenson, 1217 Moses Creek Court, Oviedo: representing the Irblich School, Ms. Jorgenson stated
her new business (school) would be at 126 East State Road 434 — in the Moss Park Apartment complex.
Commissioner Carroll said to Dr. Holsenbeck, "You mentioned three (3) businesses. What is the third?" Dr.
Holsenbeck responded, "It's a subsiderary of Tom's corporation, it's a smaller company, but it's one of their
partners, an additional two (2) employees."
Commissioner Hovey asked Dr. Holsenbeck whether the City of Oviedo provides funds for the Incubator also.
Dr. Holsenbeck stated, "No." Commissioner Hovey then asked about other funding to which Dr. Holsenbeck
remarked, "All of the Incubators — it's either city or county funds. Our [Florida] High Tech Corridor Council
supports the Incubator network and then we just generate it internally from the University's internal budget,
whatever else we need. A lot of it comes from - companies that we work with that are generated by our faculty.
We share in the results of the intellectual property and we get a certain share of that; that's negotiated beforehand
if they're our faculty; so, there are numerous sources of funds but basically they all have — a county or a city
partner right now."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -- AUGUST 25, 2014 PAGE 23 OF 24
Commissioner Krebs then asked Commissioner Carroll about some paperwork that Commissioner Carroll had.
Commissioner Carroll mentioned that after she attended a meeting at the Incubator, she had received some press
releases. Commissioner Krebs suggested such information be shared and that could be done through the City
Clerk. Dr. Hoisenbeck stated, "That's one of our responsibilities to do which I said earlier — is to do a better job
of sharing our own information."
Commissioner Hovey asked about the new school and was it a Day Care or a school?
Ms. Birgitta Jorgenson, 1217 Moses Creek Court, Oviedo: stated, "It's starting out as a pre-school so it is ages
three (3), four (4), and five (5)." Ms. Jorgenson added, "I do not have infants and toddlers."
Mr. Rafael Caamano, Site Manager, UCF Business Incubator - Winter Springs, 1511 East State Road 434, Suite
2001, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the City Commission and remarked, "We have twenty-four (24)
companies taking place in our program in Winter Springs; thirteen (13) of them have graduated."
Brief comments followed on invitations to visit the Incubator. Dr. Holsenbeck added, "Let me repeat — we're
going to do a better job of keeping you all informed about that."
Discussion followed on revenues, business models, and technology.
Dr. Tom O Neal, University of Central Florida (UCF), Associate Vice President of Research and
Commercialization, and Executive Director of the UCF Business Incubation Program (UCFBIP): addressed the
City Commission.
Further comments.
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE, AT LEAST FOR ONE (1) MORE YEAR —

ADDED, "COULD WE MAKE THAT TO APPROVE FOR THIS COMING FISCAL YEAR, THE

PUBLIC INPUT
Mr. Arsenio Calle, 110 Arrowhead Court, Winter Springs, Florida: commented that he wished he could have
spoken on Regular Agenda Item "600" before the Vote was taken; and thought that tax dollars are going to a
venture that the City has no control over, and that it might be better to hire someone to market the City instead.
Mayor Lacey commented briefly on the Public Input process.
Mr. Kevin Cannon, 174 Nandina Terrace, Winter Springs, Florida: said he liked Commissioner Krebs's idea to
have a Economic Development liaison and encouraged the City to do this; was pleased with the new school going
into the Moss Park Apartment complex; mentioned the Developer of the Vistawilla Building and an extension
which could improve the tax base, and suggested the City Attorney review this matter; and noted that he
appreciated tax dollars being spent "frugally".
