Mayor Masiarczyk stated he had several things to bring up including the SW Volusia

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.

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.

B. 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.

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.

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

City’s Natural Disaster Reserve. Estimated gross costs are as follows:

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.

C. 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.
