8. CONSENT AGENDA:
9. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 05-2016, amending Chapter 2,
“Administration”, by the addition of a new article 10, “Bidding Preference
for Local Vendors”, at first reading and to schedule second and final
reading for July 5, 2016. - Becky Vose, Legal Department (407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: Economic Develoment
Vice Mayor Nabicht asked if everyone received the electronic revision of the ordinance that
City Attorney Vose drew up and Commissioner Smith responded it was not marked with
the changes. He stated he met with City Manager Shang and he had asked her to send it
out. He stated what he had asked for was a tiered approach instead of the only people
receiving preference would be from Deltona. He stated the proposed language that City
Attorney Vose added was if there was not anyone in Deltona then it would move to Volusia
County and then to the State of Florida and he thinks it makes sense.
The Commission discussed there not being a lot of vendors in Deltona that would benefit
from this, concerns about the quality of work by giving a project to someone local who does
not have experience, concerns with allowing vendors see the other bids and having a
chance to match that bid unless the bid is within a certain percentage, believing if a vendor
was within 5% and they were local they would get the bid, the need to have examples why it
would or would not work, concerns with showing the bids that are secret bids, low bids not
City of Deltona Page 2 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes June 20, 2016
matching the service requested, there being a committee that looks at who meets the
criteria, scope of work and is qualified before accepting the bid, the City only looking at the
dollar amount and not the quality of work, concerns that some will not bid and losing the
opportunity of having someone bid on projects because the City is letting vendors match
low bids and the system being fair.
City Attorney Vose clarified that there are actually four (4) tiers: locally headquartered
business, local business that is headquartered somewhere else noting that if one (1) of
these two (2) are the low bid it does not go to the County or State, but if the low bid is
someone other than a local business and none of those meet the bid then it would go the
County if it is within 10% and then the State if it is within 5%.
Commissioner Smith pointed out that when she was on the School Board they never
adopted this because the local businesses were not competitive and this issue came to the
School Board several times and Commissioner Soukup used the University High School
project as an example of how a bid can end up costing more, the bid going to a vendor
outside the area and the vendor going out of business when someone locally was able to
do the job.
Vice Mayor Nabicht asked if everyone was in agreement to introduce this as the ordinance
and Mayor Masiarczyk responded Vice Mayor Nabicht can ask to amend the ordinance at
the Regular Commission Meeting.
B. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 16-2016, amending Sec. 38-116, “Notice to
Correct Violation” providing for 24 hour posting before abatement of repeat
nuisance, at first reading and to schedule second and final reading for July
5, 2016 - Becky Vose, Legal Department (407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: Beautification.
Commissioner Soukup asked for clarification that a resident gets written up for a violation
and seven (7) days later the resident is in the same situation, Code Enforcement goes back
and the resident has 24 hours to comply and Mr. Baker responded "yes" and after 12
months it starts all over again.
Mayor Masiarczyk asked what happens if there is nobody there and Mr. Baker responded
the property is posted and abated.
C. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 12-2016, Comprehensive Plan Amendment
adding Tivoli Drive between Saxon Blvd. and Providence Blvd., to the
City’s Thoroughfare Map, at first reading - Chris Bowley, Planning and
Development Services, (386) 878-8602.
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes June 20, 2016
Strategic Goal: Fiscal Issues: Transportation/CIP (i.e. Tivoli Drive
Expansion).
Vice Mayor Nabicht asked to just clarify that this is just to get money from the Transportation
Planning Organization (TPO) and gets Tivoli Drive on the thoroughfare map.
D. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 25-2016, Amending Section 18-103, relating
to demolition of structures, by allowing a structure that is to be demolished
to be utilized before demolition as the site of Deltona Fire Department and
Volusia County Sheriff’s Office training, at first reading and to schedule
second and final reading for July 5, 2016 - Becky Vose, Legal Department
(407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: Beautification and Public Safety
There were no comments.
E. Public Hearing - Resolution 2016-03, Adoption of a Program for a Public
Information Plan for the National Flood Insurance Program Community
Rating System - Chris Bowley, Director, Planning and Development
Services (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Plan: Internal and External Communication.
Commissioner Schleicher asked to clarify how the table works and Mr. Bowley responded
the first step is to get the Community Rating Service with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), the second step is to work on the index ratings that includes
public outreach, discouraging building permits within the 100 year flood plain, newsletters
with each of these the City gets credited with points; and everybody starts out at a nine (9)
and works their way down. He gave an example that Volusia County is at a five (5) because
they host the local mitigation plan, they have a group that meets over at the beach every
month so they get points for that and the City is working towards and he explained that the
lower the rating the lower the insurance cost for the residents. He stated it takes years to
get to the lower rating, but this is a strategy and effort the City is taking.
F. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2016-20: Variance Request for a Fence
along the Side Street Yard Property Line, located at 1690 Panama Ct. -
Chris Bowley, Director, Planning and Development Services (386)
878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety.
Mayor Masiarczyk asked where the fence was to be built and Mr. Bowley responded it will
be on the Saxon Blvd. side of the property. Mayor Masiarczyk asked if Saxon Blvd. was a
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes June 20, 2016
main thoroughfare and Mr. Bowley responded it is not as it is south of Doyle Rd. and is not
a problem. Mr. Bowley stated the resident is getting a lot of cut through traffic from the
nearby trail, an alley and a commercial property and it is a hardship on the resident. He
suggested in the future the ordinance should be looked at because he gets a lot of these
requests for variances and they really should not be coming to the Commission.
Commissioner Smith asked why Planning and Zoning (P&Z) did not approve it Mr. Bowley
responded that P&Z did not see it as a real hardship for the property owner if the fence was
put along the setback line. He explained the property owner wanted to bring the fence out to
the property line to keep people from cutting through the property and the property owners
showed pictures of paths from the foot traffic from the commercial property. He added this
issue was not addressed by the Ordinance Review Committee (ORC), it is in a semi-rural
area and it is site specific.
G. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2016-21: Variance Request for a Fence
along the Side Street Yard Property Line. Chris Bowley, Director of
Planning and Development Services (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety
There were no comments.
H. Request for approval of Resolution 2016-26 authorizing a budget
amendment for FY 2015/2016 in the Municipal Complex Fund for $155,000
in order to replace the chiller, balance the HVAC system and upgrade to a
web-based HVAC graphic system at City Hall. - Robert Clinger - Finance -
(386) 878-8552.
Strategic goal: Economic Development - Promote customer service
environment
City Manager Shang explained she will be asking for an amendment because she will need
to increase the price due to having to install a temporary unit and to shorten the time on the
rental cost. She stated the new unit will be larger and will be more fiscally prudent because
it will have more capacity, will have protection from lightning and will only be a net increase
when the rental cost is compared of $5,000. She stated the amendment will be for
$172,000 instead of $155,000.

9. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 05-2016, amending Chapter 2,
“Administration”, by the addition of a new article 10, “Bidding Preference for
Local Vendors”, at first reading and to schedule second and final reading for
July 5, 2016. - Becky Vose, Legal Department (407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: Economic Develoment
Background: There has been a request to have a formal ordinance expressing a
local preference for local contractors that would not require additional
costs to the city. The proposed ordinance accomplishes this purpose.
At the Workshop held on Monday, March 14, 2016 the Commission
concurred to move forward with the ordinance.
Attachments: Ordinance No. 05-2016
B. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 16-2016, amending Sec. 38-116, “Notice to
Correct Violation” providing for 24 hour posting before abatement of repeat
nuisance, at first reading and to schedule second and final reading for July 5,
2016 - Becky Vose, Legal Department (407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: Beautification.
Background: There are a number of residences where there have historically been
repeat violations of our nuisance ordinance, particularly relating to high
grass. As the ordinance is written now, each time there is a notice of
violation, the City has to go through a relatively cumbersome and
lengthy process involving mailed notice to the owner. This ordinance
allows a more streamlined process for abatement of nuisances when a
nuisance is a repeat violation. At the workshop on April 25, 2016, the
city commission agreed to have the ordinance presented for first
reading.
Attachments: Ordinance 16-2016
C. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 12-2016, Comprehensive Plan Amendment
adding Tivoli Drive between Saxon Blvd. and Providence Blvd., to the City’s
Thoroughfare Map, at first reading - Chris Bowley, Planning and Development
Services, (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Fiscal Issues: Transportation/CIP (i.e. Tivoli Drive Expansion).
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda June 20, 2016
Background: Ordinance No. 12-2016 is being re-reviewed with no changes from the
first review, due to no newspaper advertisement; which is needed for
due public notice. The discussion to expand Tivoli Dr. at this location
has a long history in the City. Thus, the first step for transportation
planning organization (TPO) or other grant funding is to place the
roadway segment on the City’s Thoroughfare Map in the
Comprehensive Plan as a long-range project. This agenda item is only
for a Comprehensive Plan policy decision. The City submitted Tivoli Dr.
improvements for the River to Sea TPO call for projects to receive
funding and this policy decision will allow TPO funding to occur, if the
project is selected.

D. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 25-2016, Amending Section 18-103, relating to
demolition of structures, by allowing a structure that is to be demolished to be
utilized before demolition as the site of Deltona Fire Department and Volusia
County Sheriff’s Office training, at first reading and to schedule second and
final reading for July 5, 2016 - Becky Vose, Legal Department (407) 448-0111.
Strategic Goal: Beautification and Public Safety
Background: The City of Deltona is now permitted to demolish certain unfit and
unsafe structures, and it was suggested that such structures before
demolition could be used for a short period of time for training by the
Deltona Fire Department and Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. This
ordinance would allow such use.

E. Public Hearing - Resolution 2016-03, Adoption of a Program for a Public
Information Plan for the National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating
System - Chris Bowley, Director, Planning and Development Services (386)
878-8602.
Strategic Plan: Internal and External Communication.
Background: The City of Deltona (City) participated in the Federal Emergency
Management Administration (FEMA) National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) since our incorporation. In 2015, the City achieved a
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda June 20, 2016
Community Rating System (CRS) designation, which allows our
resident insurance policy holders to realize a reduction in premiums .
Currently, Deltona NFIP policy holders are eligible for a 5% premium
reduction, because of City participation in the CRS.
The purpose of the CRS is a voluntary, points-based program involving
floodplain mitigation, outreach and education the CRS. To maintain and
potentially enhance the City’s CRS standing, a Program for Public
Information Plan (PPI Plan) is required by FEMA for community
outreach and education. The attached PPI Plan is a joint effort with
other CRS rated local governments within Volusia County that includes
the County, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Daytona Beach Shores,
Ponce Inlet, Port Orange, Edgewater, Holly Hill, South Daytona, and
New Smyrna Beach. The PPI Plan outlines existing and proposed
methods for the dissemination of information regarding flood hazards
and the NFIP that helps keep the community informed.

F. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2016-20: Variance Request for a Fence along
the Side Street Yard Property Line, located at 1690 Panama Ct. - Chris Bowley,
Director, Planning and Development Services (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety.
Background: The owner of the lot located at 1690 Panama Court has a large corner
lot. The home orientation is towards Panama Court and the side street
yard is along the local road portion of Saxon Blvd. south of Doyle Rd .
The applicant is seeking a variance from Section 110-806(e)(4)(b) that
requires a fence to be located at the building setback line and wants to
extend a 5-ft. fence along the property line instead. The lot is large and
its orientation and location have afforded a large side street yard, which
the property owner wants to use the fence to include and to reduce the
potential for cut-through and trespassing scenarios. The property is
adjacent to commercially designated lands and a City alleyway. The
proposed fence will be 5-ft. high to match the height to be placed in the
front yard. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed Resolution No.
2016-20 at their May 18, 2016, and voted 4 to 3 to recommend denial
of the variance request, due to no hardship from the Code established.

G. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2016-21: Variance Request for a Fence along
the Side Street Yard Property Line. Chris Bowley, Director of Planning and
Development Services (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety
Background: The applicant owns a corner lot and is requesting a fence along the
property boundary within a side street yard. The applicant has a special
needs dependent that is physically and mentally disabled. The request
is for a variance to Section 110-806(e)(4)(b) of the Code of Ordinances
for the location of the fence to be located at the property boundary,
instead of along the building setback line within a side street yard. As
requested, the proposed 6-foot high fence would provide an extra level
of safety and privacy for their special needs dependent. The Planning
and Zoning Board voted to recommend approval of the variance at their
May 18, 2016 meeting. This request is similar to past variance
application approvals.
Fences are ancillary structures on a lot; however, the level of regulations
on that ancillary structure is extensive. With over 80% of the City’s
platted lands in single-family residential lots and not along a
predominantly gridded street pattern, fences and their orientation to
neighboring land uses has numerous combinations throughout Deltona .
This prompts variance applications, which causes time and financial
impacts to landowners/applicants. Thus, staff recommends a provision
be placed in the Code for ancillary structures that is more expeditious
for applicants within the Building Permit process. Research through the
Code is needed to focus on ancillary structures and coordination with
the City Attorney to ensure the legal permissibility of any proposed
recommendations.

for FY 2015/2016 in the Municipal Complex Fund for $155,000 in order to
replace the chiller, balance the HVAC system and upgrade to a web-based
HVAC graphic system at City Hall. - Robert Clinger - Finance - (386) 878-8552.
Strategic goal: Economic Development - Promote customer service
environment
Background: The chiller at City Hall is rapidly reaching its end-of-life. Additionally, it
has been struck by lightning on numerous occasions and is frequently
being serviced and/or repaired. The temperature in City Hall in the
afternoon is already at an almost unbearable point and the warmest
summer months have yet to arrive. Parks and Recreation staff received
an original quote for a replacement of $205,000. Upon going out to
bid, staff decided to have the City purchase the chiller directly from
Trane in order to save the sales tax for a total price of $155,000.
