CITY COMMISSION COMMENTS: Mayor Masiarczyk stated he had several things to bring up including the SW Volusia Summit in DeLand on November 19th, New Hope Human Services Day of Giving also on November 19th, Halifax Breakfast at the Presbyterian Church on December 1st and he asked if someone could attend the awarding of the Danny Gainon Award for Excellence to Timbercrest on Thursday at 8:30 a.m. and Commissioner Honaker responded he would attend. Commissioner Smith asked if the Commission was going to discuss the update to the water issues with the Volusia County School Board regarding the Austin Fuller questions . She stated more information was received today including a 12 page timeline and she has questions. Mayor Masiarczyk responded he thought the information explained the whole situation of what happened and where we are at and he asked Commissioner Smith what kind of questions she had. Commissioner Smith responded that the answers do not align with Mr. Fuller's questions and that the timeline the Commission received is confusing. She added this information seems to just set the matter aside as not being a problem and if the Commission agrees that this timeline does not rise to the level that the Commission should have been notified then she will not bring it up for discussion. She questioned if this is a School Board issue why would the City pay anything. The Commission discussed the request for a timeline, that this issue not being brought to the Commission's attention but, should have been, this being a day -to-day issue that staff was working on, it becoming a big issue when it was brought up in an open meeting, receiving a full play-by-play tracking of what happened but it is still management's responsibility to handle the day-to-day operational changes, setting a level at which the Commission would be notified, staff finding out about this issue and staff working on the situation. City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Minutes November 7, 2016 Commissioner Soukup spoke about the water issue, the School Board knowing about this issue but the City Commission not being informed about this by the City Manager, addressing Public Records requests, when they were placed and when they were received. Commissioner Honaker spoke about the Commission not having enough time to plan and getting sidetracked, issues needing to be on the agenda, setting up a meeting after the Swearing In Ceremony to discuss civility and to discuss the homelessness issue and the City's stand before the West Volusia Summit on Saturday, November 19th, meeting policies for putting things on the agenda and bringing these issues up at the meeting. Vice Mayor Nabicht asked to clarify the term explosion and what is considered an explosion. Mr. Doan responded technically it is a source that can ignite and that is why the term was used and he explained further it was an ignitable vapor but there was not a ball of fire and it was contained within the concrete structure in the metal box. Vice Mayor Nabicht reminded everyone that the City was moving forward and he suggested that in the future questions or accusations be put in writing, a hearing set for discussion and have it investigated or if needed have a third party do an investigation and report back but we need to stop these accusations and get the facts. He suggested setting up the process, have the hearing, make a decision, close the book and move on. Commissioner Herzberg asked when the water issue (explosions) happened and Mr. Doan responded 2014, 2015 and in 2016 we saw the white chemical that they did not know what it was, that it may have been the same as the previous and he started a fact finding mission. Mayor Masiarczyk stated if the Commission wants to have an all-day seminar and discuss this we can but what is the ultimate outcome; staff has addressed the problem and staff is trying to work out an agreement with the School Board. He stated if Commissioner Smith wanted to bring the issue up at the meeting he did not have a problem with that. 15. ADJOURNMENT: Mayor Masiarczyk adjourned the meeting at 6:07 p.m. ATTEST: __________________________________ Janet Day, Deputy City Clerk City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 6/3/2020

ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS: A. Public Hearing - Resolution 2016-58 revising the City’s Investment Policy - Lori Carr, Finance Department - (386) 878-8553. Strategic Goal: Fiscal Issues Background: The City’s current Investment Policy was adopted November 7, 2005. While the policy is reviewed annually during the budget process, it was brought to our attention during the previous audit that the policy needed to be updated as there have been some statutory changes since 2005 regarding the investment of public funds. Staff is presenting an update to this policy to include new statutory requirements as well as more comprehensive guidance. Resolution No. 2016-58 repeals Resolution No. 2005-42 adopted in November, 2005. The City’s Investment Advisors from Chandler Asset Management are available to answer any questions.

Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2016-49, Adopting the Southwest Deltona Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Community Redevelopment Plan - Chris Bowley, AICP, Planning and Development Services, (386) 878-8602. Strategic Goal: Economic Development - Pursue the creation of a CRA for the Deltona Boulevard. Background: The City of Deltona created a legal description with a surveyor for the City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda November 7, 2016 proposed Southwest Deltona Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) boundary. The legal description was provided to Volusia County and used in their Delegation of Authority to establish the CRA in partnership with the City on July 7, 2016. The Redevelopment Plan included the approved CRA boundary that was subsequently processed through the City’s CRA creation and adoption process. However, pursuant to Chapter 163.362, FS, the legal description also has to be placed within the Redevelopment Plan. Thus, Resolution No. 2016-49, provides for an update to the Redevelopment Plan to include an Appendix D, the legal description of the CRA boundary. No other changes to the Redevelopment Plan, the CRA boundary, the CRA Trust Fund, or the CRA Board is proposed by this resolution; it only addresses the statutory omission. Attachments: Resolution No. 2016-49 Redevelopment Plan Redevelopment Plan C. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2016-50, amending the City of Deltona Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) - Chris Bowley, AICP, Planning and Development Services, (386) 878-8602. Background: The Deltona Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) is a planning document illustrating how the City implements the Florida Strategic Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The LHAP outlines several housing strategies the City may undertake. Two strategies, Purchase Assistance (first time home buyers) and Owner Occupied Rehabilitation, are the most often applied within the City. Because of changes in the real estate market and in light of program rules associated with program set asides (earmarking certain percentages of grant allocations for certain user groups ), City staff is proposing changes to the Purchase Assistance and Owner Occupied Rehabilitation strategies. Staff is proposing to increase the down payment amounts within Purchase Assistance to respond to upward trending home prices indicative of the local real estate market. The existing and proposed down payment amounts linked to income levels are as follows: Income Level Existing Down Proposed Down Payment Award Payment Award Very Low Income Up to $25,000 Up to $40,000 Low Income Up to $20,000 Up to $30,000 Moderate Income Up to $15,000 Up to $20,000 Under the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation strategy, applicants are required to have a current homeowner insurance policy. For many City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda November 7, 2016 homeowners insurance is a requirement because mortgage companies require such coverage. However, Staff is encountering applicants in need of assistance that do not have homeowner insurance coverage. In the cases where the applicants do not carry a homeowner insurance policy, the house is typically owned outright and many clients in this position tend to be elderly. Insurance premiums are costly and can be quite a burden on households that have limited financial resources. Therefore, to improve assistance opportunity, City staff is suggesting the requirement for homeowner insurance be eliminated as a requirement to qualify for the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation strategy . For more information on the proposed changes to the LHAP, please see the attached support documentation. In addition, the amendments to the LHAP are attached and presented in an underline and strike through format. Finally, the City Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) reviewed the proposed LHAP changes on September 20, 2016. The AHAC recommended that the City Commission amend the LHAP as proposed by City staff. The Florida Housing Finance Corporation that administers the SHIP program has reviewed the changes and has indicated the proposed changes would not conflict with the City’s SHIP program.

Budget amendment to appropriate a portion of the City’s Natural Disaster Reserve to fund storm related expenses for debris removal, debris monitoring, site rental, and city property damage from Hurricane Matthew - Robert Clinger, Finance, 386 878-8552 Strategic Goal: Public Safety Background: A budget amendment is needed to appropriate the necessary funds for expenses caused by Hurricane Matthew. Ultimately, these gross expenses, net of any FEMA reimbursements, will be taken from the City’s Natural Disaster Reserve. Estimated gross costs are as follows: Debris removal $1,050,000 Site rental $75,000 Debris monitoring $360,000 10% contingency $150,000 City Property damage $500,000 City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda November 7, 2016 Total $2,135,000 Attachments: Resolution No. 2016-61 2017-02 B. Ratification of the Emergency Debris Removal Services (CrowderGulf) purchase order due to Hurricane Matthew. - Matt Doan, P.E., Acting Public Works Director (386) 878-8973. Strategic Goal: Public Safety Background: On October 3, 2016, the Honorable Rick Scott, Governor of the State of Florida, issued Executive Order Number 16-230 declaring a state of emergency in the State of Florida due to the severe threat posed by Hurricane Matthew. The City Commission followed suit by declaring a state of local emergency on October 5, 2016 with Emergency Resolution No. 2016-52. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) was issued to the City’s currently ranked number one contractor, CrowderGulf, on October 10, 2016 for As Needed Emergency Debris Removal Services pertaining to Hurricane Matthew. In 2014, Request For Proposal (RFP) No. PW 14-04 was advertised for solicitation in order to ensure that debris removal services were competitively bid prior to any such event in which the services would be required. Not only is this a standard practice of the City of Deltona, but this is also heavily desired in terms of applying for potential FEMA reimbursement. The RFP was handled and awarded in accordance with the City of Deltona’s Procurement Policies and Procedures Manual. Two firms were selected and in May of 2014 and agreements were entered into with both contractors, with CrowderGulf being ranked as number one. The agreements were for an initial period of one (1) year, with the option to renew for three (3) additional one (1) year periods upon mutual written consent of both parties. The agreements are such that they are open contracts to be used on an as-needed basis due to the fact that there is no determination as to when this type of service will be required. The agreements do not guarantee to the Contractor any minimum amount of work throughout the term of the agreement. Estimated quantities for a fictitious event were placed in the RFP for a baseline comparison. Purchase Order No. 17309 was issued to CrowderGulf for emergency debris removal services associated with Hurricane Matthew under the City of Deltona Page 7 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda November 7, 2016 emergency declaration. It was imperative to initiate such services in a timely fashion to secure resources and begin the recovery process. The amount of this purchase order is based on an estimated cubic yard total for this storm event. Per the purchasing policy, this emergency purchase order is being brought to the City Commission for ratification. The City intends to submit for FEMA reimbursement for eligible debris removal costs.

Ratification of the Emergency Debris Monitoring Services purchase order due to Hurricane Matthew. - Matt Doan, P.E., Acting Public Works Director (386) 878-8973. Strategic Goal: Public Safety Background: On October 3, 2016, the Honorable Rick Scott, Governor of the State of Florida, issued Executive Order Number 16-230 declaring a state of emergency in the State of Florida due to the severe threat posed by Hurricane Matthew. The City Commission followed suit by declaring a state of local emergency on October 5, 2016 with Emergency Resolution No. 2016-52. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) was issued to the City’s currently number one ranked debris monitoring contractor, Tetra Tech, Inc., on October 11, 2016 for As Needed Emergency Debris Monitoring Services pertaining to Hurricane Matthew. In 2014, Request For Proposal (RFP) No. PW 14-03 was advertised for solicitation in order to ensure that debris monitoring services were competitively bid prior to any such event in which the services would be required. Not only is this a standard practice of the City of Deltona, but this is also heavily desired in terms of applying for potential FEMA reimbursement. The RFP was handled and awarded in accordance with the City of Deltona’s Procurement Policies and Procedures Manual. Two firms City of Deltona Page 8 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda November 7, 2016 were selected for further evaluation. In May of 2014 an agreement was entered into with Leidos, Inc. (predecessor to Tetra Tech, Inc.) which not only was ranked as number one during the initial scoring selection, but also deemed to provide the overall “best value” to the City for the services being sought. The agreement was for an initial period of one (1) year, with the option to renew for three (3) additional one (1) year periods upon mutual written consent of both parties. The agreement is such that it is an open contract to be used on an as-needed basis due to the fact that there is no determination as to when this type of service will be required. The agreement does not guarantee to the Contractor any minimum amount of work throughout the term of the agreement. Estimated quantities for a fictitious event were placed in the RFP for a baseline comparison. In August 2014 the City of Deltona was notified that the Beck Disaster Recovery (BDR) Division of Leidos, Inc. had been acquired by Tetra Tech, Inc. The acquisition was specifically for the BDR Division of Leidos, Inc., and many members of the division that were involved in the original proposal are still on the project team with Tetra Tech, Inc. Two (2) renewals have been signed since the execution of the original agreement. In order to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding that might cause a delay in FEMA reimbursement, it was determined that it was in the best interest of the City of Deltona to ask the City Commission to pass a resolution ratifying the agreement for As Needed Emergency Debris Monitoring Services since the original agreement was in the name of Leidos, Inc., and checks would be written to its successor in interest, Tetra Tech, Inc. That resolution was adopted by the Deltona City Commission on October 17, 2016. Purchase Order No. 17310-00 was issued to Tetra Tech, Inc. for emergency debris monitoring services associated with Hurricane Matthew under the emergency declaration. It was imperative to initiate such services in a timely fashion to secure resources and begin the recovery process. The amount of this purchase order coincides with the debris removal services for this storm event, as the required quantity of monitoring staff is dependent upon the resources being utilized by the debris removal contractor. Per the purchasing policy, this emergency purchase order is being brought to the City Commission for ratification. The City intends to submit for FEMA reimbursement for eligible debris removal costs.

Request for approval of agreement between the City and Albert H. and Janette K. Pell - Rental Agreement - Storm Debris Location - Robert Clinger, Finance Department - (386) 878-8552. Strategic Goal: Public Safety Background: As a result of Hurricane Matthew the City has accumulated a significant amount of storm debris. The City does not have adequate land and/or facilities to store this debris until it is removed / disposed. On October 6, 2016, on an emergency basis, the City entered into an agreement for storage of storm debris with Albert H. and Janette K. Pell until such time that all City debris is removed / disposed of. Staff is now requesting formal approval of this after-the-fact emergency agreement. Attachments: Pell agreement - storm debris 11. NEW BUSINESS: A. Request for approval of Consultants for State Government Relations and Lobbying - Robert Clinger, Finance Director, (386) 878-8552. Strategic Goals: Fiscal Issues. Background: As directed by the City Commission, staff solicited proposals from Consultants for State Government Relations and Lobbying for the purpose of assisting the City of Deltona to achieve its goals as will be more specifically delineated by the City Commission. The City Commission requested lobbying services under two scenarios: a) Session fee for the 2017 Florida legislative session, and b) Annual fee for services throughout the entire year. Two proposals were received for RFP #17003, one from GA McKeown & Associates, LLC. and the second proposal was from Peebles & Smith, Inc. After a complete review of the submittals, scores were tallied and a Selection Committee meeting took place to discuss scoring.
