City Commission Minutes January 19, 2016
Strategic Goal: Economic Development, construct a new Senior Community
Center.
City Manager Shang stated the Bonds for the project will not be available until June or
July. She stated seed money is needed so money will be taken from an existing City
fund and then be reimbursed when the Bond proceeds are received.
Ms. Shang stated there is a change in the formatting of the agenda where under action
items each of the items will be tied back to the City's Strategic Goal. She stated the
whole purpose of the discussion of what the City's Strategic Goals should be is to look
at the list and make sure each agenda item goes back to those goals. She referred to
Item 9A under Ordinances and Public Hearings as an example where it states "Strategic
Goal: Economic Development, construct a new Senior Community Center”. She stated if
the action items do not show the strategic goal, a time out should be taken to focus to
make sure everyone is headed in the right direction. She stated she believed 50 to 75%
of the time should be spent on the City's strategic goals that were approved by the
Commission with the rest of the time being spent on the day to day City business.
10. OLD BUSINESS:
11. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Consideration of appointment of two (2) members to the Planning and
Zoning Board - Joyce Raftery, City Clerk’s Office (386) 878-8502.
Strategic Goal: Internal and external communication.
City Manager Shang stated the last item is the appointment of two (2) members to the
Planning & Zoning Board; one (1) by Mayor Masiarczyk and one (1) by Commissioner
Smith. She asked if the Mayor left any instructions in his absence and Vice Mayor
Nabicht responded "no". Vice Mayor Nabicht asked if the item should be tabled or if
Commissioner Smith wants to move forward with an appointment.
Commissioner Smith asked when the next meeting would be and stated she had spoken
with the person she wanted to nominate for the appointment. Ms. Shang stated these
appointments are to fill the vacancies until March 15, 2016 at which time there will be
another board member Victor Ramos that will be termed out.
Commissioner Honaker stated he had a question on timing and efficiencies with the
appointments being until March 15th could the motion include "with a following
appointment with three (3) years from March 2016 until March 2019" instead of the
appointments coming back up in two (2) months and the people being left in limbo. He
also stated his appointment Victor Ramos is termed out March 15th and asked why his
appointment can’t be done tonight with an effective date of March 15, 2016 instead of
bringing this back up in two (2) months. Mrs. Vose responded the ordinance would have
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 1/28/2016
City Commission Minutes January 19, 2016
to be changed because the ordinance requires the vacancy be filled within 30 days but
only for the unexpired term and then the three year terms would be appointed
separately. Mrs. Vose read from the ordinance and commented what Commissioner
Honaker is asking to do can be done but the City cannot force anyone to do that.
Commissioner Smith asked if she could appoint Mr. Harper tonight for the remainder of
the term plus the following term and Mrs. Vose responded Commissioner Smith could
do that.
Commissioner Schleicher stated she did not have a problem with that but the
appointments are going to have to be brought back up anyway for reappointment. Mrs.
Vose reminded the Commission that the Planning & Zoning Board Members have
staggered terms so she is not sure how many are coming up for reappointment .
Commissioner Schleicher suggested continuing with what the Commission has been
doing and does not see a problem.
Commissioner Herzberg asked to clarify that there are two (2) vacancies where the
terms expire in March 2016 and two (2) people will be appointed tonight to fill those
terms and that the people can be reappointed at that time for a new term. Mrs. Vose
responded assuming the terms of the people who went off the board were about to
expire. Mr. Bowley responded the only seat that is termed out is the District 4 seat.
Commissioner Herzberg asked what about the future, is the City setting a precedent and
Mrs. Vose responded her concern is according to the ordinance the unexpired terms are
to be filled whether it is for a couple of months or two (2) years of a three (3) year term.
Ms. Shang commented it is cleaner to do the appointments when the terms are ready to
expire, it is easier to keep track of and this current situation usually does not happen
very often.
After discussion the Commission concurred to continue with the ordinance the
way it is.
12. CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS:
13. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
14. CITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Vice Mayor Nabicht stated there is a request from Friendship Elementary School for
someone to help kick off Literacy Week on Monday, January 25th around 8:20 a.m. and
that Mayor Masiarczyk and himself have prior commitments and asked if Commissioner
Schleicher or Commissioner Smith would be able to attend. Commissioner Schleicher
offered to attend.

tonight's meeting or at a future workshop and stated that Volusia County does not do
anything about enforcement of the State Statute and Commissioner Schleicher

Commission Comments.
Commissioner Soukup asked if anyone was attending the Ethics Training on Friday and
it was determined some of the Commissioners were waiting for a later date. Ms. Shang
commented she was waiting until there is one (1) closer and Vice Mayor Nabicht
responded he would like for the City could host one (1) of the trainings and suggested
there should be two (2) sessions; one (1) on the east side and one (1) on the west side.
Commissioner Herzberg commented the Florida Institute of Government (FIOG)
partners with the University of Central Florida (UCF) which is why the training is done at
UCF, the training can be done online on the League of Cities website and is a four (4)
hour training.
