Continuing, Attorney Garganese noted another matter related to the park property donation and noted, "Rather
than just simply saying that that Section 7 of the previous DA(Development Agreement) is deleted, I thought it
was necessary to state that that property was conveyed and then subsequently reconveyed back to the property
owner, so there's at least a record explanation of it in the Record. So those are the only two(2)technical changes
that I made after the Agenda got published."
Discussion followed on the previous and new pond and the water table with Mr.Brian Fields,P.E., City Engineer,
Public Works Department.
Further comments followed on nearby homes situated in unincorporated Seminole County,the hours of operation,
and potential businesses. Mayor Lacey asked Mr.Howell if a yellow sign had been posted to advise the public,to
which Mr. Howell responded, "Yes, Sir."
Remarks continued on the hours when trash could be picked up, noise concerns, and the newly approved Dunkin'
Donuts business.
Manager Smith spoke for the Record about the schools not using the City's trash collection company.
Chief of Police Kevin Brunelle, Police Department mentioned he had done some research on calls over the last
ten(10)years in this area and they were for abandoned vehicles and none were noise related.
Further comments ensued with Mr. Stevenson on where noise would be generated from, general noise, and door
configuration and dumpster locations.

Ms. Campbell stated, "As for the City's Audit Report this year, the City once again received an unmodified
opinion which is the best opinion that you can get. During the year,the City implemented one(1)new accounting
standard related to pensions and for this year only, required additional disclosure requirements. For 2015, there
will be a related pension standard which will require the City to report a portion of the pension liability in the

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MARCH 23,2015 PAGE 20 OF 26
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Attorney and City Manager recommend approval of Resolution 2015-10, effective March 23,
2015.
Attorney Garganese briefly spoke on this Agenda Item and said that any changes were underlined.
Deputy Mayor Krebs mentioned she had hoped to receive information on what other cities were doing to honor
individuals with Keys to the City, etc. and referenced the past City Commission Regular Meeting Minutes and
Mayor Lacey's comments. Deputy Mayor Krebs added, "We have not had a chance to really look at any
guidelines that others are using and I think we should have that opportunity. Maybe we will decide we don't even
want to make a Policy for something like that. We have not had a problem in the past." Deputy Mayor Krebs
then suggested, "I would still like to see what other cities are doing, and I do not think we have that information."
Commissioner Hovey mentioned she was under the same impression that they would be provided with
information from other municipalities to consider. Attorney Garganese said, "I can give you some of the
information that I have at my disposal for you to see,regarding Proclamations and Keys to the City."
Further, Attorney Garganese noted, "If you are not comfortable with the protocol for Proclamations and Keys to
the City, you could adopt the Resolution and exclude the protocol for Proclamations and Keys to the City."
Attorney Garganese then stated he could provide more data points at the next meeting and then the City
Commission could provide direction and how to proceed.
Commissioner Hovey added, "Maybe we do not need a Policy, but it would be nice to see what the others
have..." Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "...I agree." Furthermore, Commissioner Hovey added that she would like
to see information about what other cities do.
With further comments on the Resolution as provided, Commissioner Cannon stated, "I do not want there to be a
delay in the passage of the Resolution" in terms of the proposed 6:00 p.m. City Commission meeting start time.
Deputy Mayor Krebs commented on the wording for Keys to the City as it relates to being approved unanimously
and approved by the Mayor and mentioned that as power rests with the City Commission, such verbiage for a
unanimous decision gives power to the minority." Deputy Mayor Krebs asked that Attorney Garganese consider
this.
Continuing, Deputy Mayor Krebs referenced some of the history as to how the 5:15 p.m. City Commission
meeting time came about in 2007, that no complaints about Commission meeting start times have been heard until
late last year, and that the proposed survey discussed at the last City Commission Meeting would really need to be
handled differently to get better data.
Mayor Lacey also said he had re-thought the proposed survey and ways to make it more manageable.
Commissioner Carroll also commented on the proposed survey. Commissioner Carroll then mentioned some
situations when she was the President of the Tuscawilla Homeowners Association and when some hot button
issues were being discussed,that some people had told her they could not get to City Commission meetings by the
5:15 p.m. start time, and therefore she was supportive of changing to the proposed new 6:00 p.m. City
Commission meeting start time.
Next, Commissioner Cannon noted that he thought the proposed survey might be awkward and may not provide
the best data; and said that when he was campaigning door to door, no residents had told him that they liked the
5:15 p.m. City Commission meeting start times. Commissioner Cannon noted that he appreciated the City
Commission's support for a later City Commission meeting start time, and that the change would be very
important to those residents that work in downtown Orlando.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MARCH 23,2015 PAGE 21 OF 26
Commissioner Resnick additionally remarked about the proposed survey and referenced Commissioner Cannon's
comments about residents who told Commissioner Cannon that they did not like the current 5:15 p.m. City
Commission meeting start time. Commissioner Resnick then suggested that if we do go forward with a later City
Commission meeting start time,that we review attendance in about six(6)months. Commissioner Resnick added
that usually the residents who do not attend City Commission meetings are happy with the way things are
running.
Further comments followed on whether the proposed survey was the best thing to do, possible issues with
Interstate 4(I-4)traffic,the concept of"change", and the proposed Resolution.
"I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT RESOLUTION 2015-10, INCLUDING PARAGRAPH 5. (A).
AND EXCLUDING OR STRIKING EVERYTHING BELOW 5. (A)." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER
CANNON. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER CARROLL. DISCUSSION.
MAYOR LACEY NOTED THE MOTION WAS "TO ADOPT THE PORTIONS OF THE CHANGES TO
RESOLUTION 2015-10 THAT ARE PROPOSED EXCLUSIVE OF (B) AND INCLUSIVE ONLY OF 5.
(A)."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE CLARIFIED FOR THE RECORD THAT "5. (A). IS ACTUALLY THE
SECTION IN THE AGENDA ITEM— THAT ADEQUATELY REFLECTS THE PROPOSED CHANGE
TO THE RULES OF PROCEDURE BY ADDING A NEW SECTION,I.I." COMMISSIONER CANNON
NOTED,"THAT WAS MY INTENT IN THE MOTION."

MOTION CARRIED.
Summarizing, Mayor Lacey pointed out that "We have a new Resolution 2015-10 that calls for a start time of
6:00 p.m., so our next meeting will be at 6:00 (p.m.) and will be noticed that way."
Manager Smith said, "Mayor, can I ask the Commission for a clarification on two (2) particular issues. We just
want to make sure we give you all what you are asking for. The first issue is relative to Proclamations and Keys
to the City. Obviously, you all did not approve that, at this time. What would you like? Would you like us to
come back with an Agenda Item? I heard a couple of Commissioners say - that they did not think we needed a
Policy. I think I heard one (1) Commissioner say they like the Policy but then on further reflection there was a
part that they didn't like. So, we're happy to do whatever you would like. Do you want us to bring back an
Agenda Item to discuss this? Or - option b, continue with the status quo, which is you all just bring it up when
you feel like it? Or an option c, is perhaps we can give you some data for your own reference, but we would not
create a formal Policy. Or none of the above."
Commissioner Carroll noted, "I thought I heard that at least one (1) Commissioner wanted additional - what are
other cities doing, what kind of guidelines." Commissioner Carroll mentioned previous knowledge she had from
another part of the country and that a Key to the City was"Very special. It was for something above and beyond,
and it was a big deal and pomp and circumstance and people would look forward to it." Commissioner Carroll
suggested, "I think if we can somehow explore without spending a lot of Staff time and dollars, what are other
cities doing to keep this being special,not just because you served on this,or you served on a Board."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MARCH 23,2015 PAGE 22 OF 26
Commissioner Resnick remarked, "I would either concur with what Commissioner Carroll just said or just say
leave it status quo, the way it is and we decide up here when the special moments occur." Deputy Mayor Krebs
said, "I agree with Commissioner Resnick, that it has not been bad before, I mean we have not had problems with
it before."
Commissioner Cannon stated, "I thought even tonight, that the Deputy Mayor said she would like a little more
background on how other cities are handling it and that is kind of what I thought we were going to get, was more
or less a kind of a range of how other cities handling it. I think it is probably never a bad idea to have some sort
of framework for things, not that it is absolutely necessary - I am sort of neutral on it but I would like to have
some additional time, at least, to just look through it and also to see how other cities are handling it, and just to
have it come back as maybe an Informational item or something at a later date."
Manager Smith inquired, "Would it be acceptable to the Commission for Staff to put together some information
on what other cities are doing, the kind of things that I think you all are looking for and disseminate it via email
and if you or one (1) Commissioner or more Commissioners would like to take a step further at a future meeting,
you all give us direction at that time?"
Deputy Mayor Krebs commented, "I was just going to answer Commissioner Cannon. Yes, I did say what you
said. That is what I understood we were going to get, but I also further said that I am not even sure we need a
policy change or a change. I am fine with the way it is,but whatever the Commission wishes, I will go with."
Commissioner Resnick stated, "Personally, I would rather not expend Staff time on something like this, and the
other cities staff time for us to do a research expedition. I am comfortable with us making those decisions up here
when they occur at the time. But that is my personal preference."
Commissioner Carroll thanked the Office of the City Clerk's Staff for their summary of Awards and Presentations
information, noted some past decisions, and suggested, "I think we have got to look at, at least at some loose
guidelines."
Commissioner Cannon referenced the proposed Resolution for former Commissioner Rick Brown, and the
different awards given to previous Elected Officials, and with consideration of the data provided stated, "Where I
was coming from was trying to get some loose framework of what has been done -just some reference points.
That is all I am kind of looking for. That could be done by simply a Staff report. That could also be done by
something a little bit more formal. You know, I feel that Rick Brown probably could and should have received
something even in addition to a Key to the City." Commissioner Cannon further commented on having adequate
information for Voting, and how other cities are handling such situations would be helpful.
Deputy Mayor Krebs noted that she had previously suggested city-wide recognition for residents related to some
of the things they have been involved with, either monthly or quarterly in such capacity. Deputy Mayor Krebs
added,"I really would like to see the City do something in recognition of people—not costing anything."
Manager Smith asked, "Is there a Consensus from the Commission that Staff will put together some information
and disseminate it to you all; and then if you all would like to move forward at a future meeting in some respect,
then you are obviously able to do so?" Commissioner Cannon and Commissioner Carroll stated, "That works for
me." Mayor Lacey asked, "Is there Consensus to do what Kevin (Smith)just proposed?" No objections were
noted.
Attorney Garganese said that he was working on an Ordinance for naming streets and other facilities but he would
now hold off on that. Deputy Mayor Krebs commented that she agreed with what Attorney Garganese had just
stated.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-MARCH 23,2015 PAGE 23 OF 26
Manager Smith added, "My goal at this time was just to provide you all with information on what others are
doing. Whether or not we develop a Policy in the future would be up to you all - at that point in time, we would
have that discussion and vet that more."
Commissioner Cannon addressed the historical information the City Commission had been provided with from
the Office of the City Clerk and said, "I just would like to know how other cities are handling it and then, if one of
us wants to ask to put it on the Agenda, we can put it on the Agenda." Mayor Lacey summarized, "We want it to
be comprehensive and include various honors that a City can bestow..." Commissioner Cannon stated,
"...Naming parks and streets and facilities as well as Keys, and all of that..."
Deputy Mayor Krebs remarked, "If the City Manager provides us with that information in an email so we can
look at it. What we do with that is up to us after that." Manager Smith added, "Is my understanding correct?"
Deputy Mayor Krebs remarked, "I am fine with that." There were no objections voiced. Mayor Lacey then
commented, "Any further action would come at a Commission meeting, as a result of that information."
Continuing the discussion, Manager Smith noted, "Is my understanding further correct that this Commission is
not expecting the City Attorney to draft anything at this particular point in time?" Deputy Mayor Krebs said,
"That is correct." Commissioner Hovey concurred.
Related to the proposed survey/data gathering effort, Manager Smith commented, "Is it the Commission's
direction that we proceed?" Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "We made the decision to start at 6:00 p.m. Let us have
a little experimental evidence on that for a little while and address the question later whether a more detailed
survey is justified, and we can think a little more about what the form and format of that would be."
Commissioner Carroll added, "No survey for now." Mayor Lacey added, "Consensus? No survey?" Deputy
Mayor Krebs remarked, "No survey." No objections were noted.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING—MARCH 23,2015 PAGE 24 OF 26
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Commission review the information provided regarding the Magnolia Park
Amphitheater final engineering and aesthetic review and the current estimated costs, and give staff
direction on whether to investigate options to increase the funding in the upcoming budget or bring back
for reconsideration aspects of the project which could bring the project within current budget.
Mr. Lockcuff began the discussion on this Agenda Item.
Tape 2/Side A
Discussion followed on funding options, the planned roof and possible changes to it, scaling the project back so it
is fits better financially within the City's budgetary constraints, the narrow strip of land, potential purchase,
appraised value and commercial viability, and possibly adding swings to the area for families using the Cross
Seminole Trail.
Brief comments followed with Mr. Shawn Boyle, Director, Finance and Administrative Services Department on
the amount of interest paid,and the original funding involved in this project.
Mayor Lacey commented to Commissioner Cannon, "I think that your suggestion earlier was that if you are going
to make any significant change to it, that a Workshop would be in order. I agree with that and so I would gently
suggest that we focus on basically a binary issue of `Do we want to budget an extra three hundred thousand
dollars ($300,000.00) and build it as is?' If the answer to that is `No', then let's plan on having a focused time to
sit and talk about what the pros and cons are and give Kip (Lockcuff) some time to gather some data on
architectural changes and the costs that go with them." Commissioner Cannon noted his agreement with Mayor
Lacey.
Deputy Mayor Krebs remarked, "I think there are some other areas where the Manager would save money. We
actually talked about this item and either he can come back with the cost savings measures that he sees, and then
tell us what it is going to be from there." Commissioner Cannon then mentioned the monies paid so far. Deputy
Mayor Krebs added, "I would be interested to know what we could save and then how much it would cost us after
that to either go with the plan or at a different scale."
Comments followed on the Architect of Record and if changes could be made. Architect Bill Starmer was
referenced and Commissioner Carroll suggested, "I agree. If we can save the three hundred thousand dollars
($300,000.00)by redesigning the roof, that one (1) component wouldn't necessarily affect the rest of the building
and the grounds. I do not agree on providing a playground."
Mayor Lacey asked the City Commission, "Is there any desire to approve the current plan and budget the money
to pay for that or do you want to put some more detailed decisions off to a Workshop?"
Commissioner Resnick asked how much the City Commission wanted to scale back. Commissioner Resnick then
suggested that the City Commission could consider that possible events could be held using overflow/floor
seating, and commented on the acoustics. Commissioner Resnick added, "A Workshop is fine—but let us also be
very realistic as to what we are doing here."
Mayor Lacey noted that even if a Workshop was planned, individual Commissioners could still meet with Mr.
Lockcuff to discuss their concerns and the potential costs.
Commissioner Cannon referenced the funding allocation for the sound and theatrical lighting system, and
mentioned that the current amphitheater on Lake Jesup could be used as a venue to generate revenues which could
"put us on the map". Commissioner Cannon also noted that he had been contacted by managers for national and
international musical groups.

Deputy Mayor Krebs expressed her preference for a community center in Central Winds Park and thought bench
seating would be easier to maintain. Deputy Mayor Krebs also wondered if an alternative to the proposed
acoustics could be considered.
Continuing, Deputy Mayor Krebs commented, "Do we need to do a Workshop? I don't know? If that is what
you want to do, we could do a Workshop, but if you could bring back ways to scale it back, that would be good
for me too." Deputy Mayor Krebs added, "What I really want is for us to get to the - finished product so that
when those papers are finally signed on the dotted line that we have all been waiting for years for, that we can go
right to it and start getting it done. I don't want this to drag out through Workshops and then come back and have
another Workshop."
Mayor Lacey asked Deputy Mayor Krebs if she was interested in approving this project and the funds as is.
Deputy Mayor Krebs said, "Not the way it is right now." Mayor Lacey stated, "If we are not going to do that,the
only choice is to schedule some next meeting -or a Workshop, some forum for us to provide the direction back to
Kevin(Smith)." Deputy Mayor Krebs thought soon would be best to which Commissioner Cannon agreed.
Manager Smith said, "Perhaps we could look at this issue, rather than through a Workshop, through a Regular
Agenda Item where Staff would come back and make an attempt at the cost reductions..." Deputy Mayor Krebs
added, "...And let us know..." Manager Smith continued, "...We're happy to take that attempt, but we just want
to let you all know that one of the reasons we thought about the Workshop is we didn't know—to what level you
all might want to scale back."
Furthermore, Manager Smith stated, "If you all would like us to take a shot at scaling it back to within budget or
less, we'll be happy to do that but just keep in mind, that it would be within Mr. Starmer's original design to the
best of our ability." Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "Yes, that is what I would like to see." Commissioner Resnick
added,"That is exactly what I would like to see as well."
Manager Smith remarked, "I would feel most comfortable if you all end up wanting to go that route,that we have
the caveat that when we bring that to you all as an Agenda Item, that if you do not like it, and we need a
Workshop,then I would certainly like to go that route."
Commissioner Carroll pointed out there is not much handicapped access at Central Winds Park. Commissioner
Cannon suggested Mr. Starmer be in attendance when this issue is brought back. Manager Smith stated, "Our
intent was to bring Mr. Starmer to the Workshop—when the Agenda Item is presented."
Comments followed that the acoustics did not need to be top of the line, and perhaps it could be a plug and play
type system so users of the facility would be responsible, and not the City.
Mayor Lacey summarized, "I think we have honed in on directing Staff to come back with the Architect, and
whatever experts are necessary to be able to flush this out as a future Commission item. As you embark on the
project, I would say that if it looks like it is going to be more than we can handle in a Commission meeting-come
back and tell us you would rather do it in a Workshop. We are going to orient towards that, with the general
direction of the Commission that we want to stay with the basic design we have got,but tweak it around the edges
for enhanced functionality,perhaps cost savings, etc. and we should hold off on design discussions until then."
Furthermore, Mayor Lacey said he was in favor of leaving the audio out and having people bring their own.
Manager Smith asked for clarification and remarked, "And to not increase the current budget—is that what I was
hearing?" Mayor Lacey summarized, "We are not approving tonight for him to add three hundred thousand
dollars ($300,000.00) into the Budget and build this." Deputy Mayor Krebs stated, "Correct." Mayor Lacey
added, "Is everyone here content with the direction we have given the Manager and Kip (Lockcuff)?" Deputy
Mayor Krebs remarked, "Yes." No objections were noted.
