CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS: Assistant City Attorney Vose commented that he will be reporting on the ordinance concerning amending the Charter. He stated he has a draft he is working on that he will get out to the Commission this week to be included on the agenda for 1st reading at the next Commission Meeting. Vice Mayor Nabicht asked if there are any ordinances the City would like the Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) to work on. City Manager Shang responded the ORC is working on the mobile food trucks and Mr. Bowley added we will be finalizing that issue with the Committee. Mr. Bowley stated he will also get direction from the Commission on the landscape ordinance to let ORC look at that. City Manager Shang suggested the goal might be to have a review every three (3) months. Mayor Masiarczyk stated the ORC was set up City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Minutes February 6, 2017 to give them topics when there were topics to review as needed and if there is nothing to review the committee would not meet. He stated he does not want to make work for them and he has concerns that when the committee gets a topic, the committee goes long term, the Commission does not get constant feedback of what they are doing and the committee members are out in the public discussing how they are changing things. He added that if the Commission asks the ORC to look into that aspect, it should be a recommendation. He suggested that Vice Mayor Nabicht bring it up during the meeting. Commissioner Herzberg asked when the Commission gives out the ordinances for review to ORC is there any input from law enforcement in regards to being feasible and enforceable if they involve law enforcement. City Manager Shang responded the topics should involve the appropriate party(s). Mayor Masiarczyk asked who on that committee would do that and Mr. Bowley responded he would invite the party(s). Commissioner Honaker stated while we are on this topic, one (1) of the things he wanted to bring up during his remarks to add to a future agenda is a discussion on carports and canvas tarps that cover boats. He stated right now there is not an ordinance against this so it not enforceable. He stated there is some verbiage regarding carports that says it must look similar to the structure and he asked if that topic could be given to the ORC. Mayor Masiarczyk stated that is a hard one but, it could be given to ORC however, he does not have any expectation that you could enforce it. Commissioner Herzberg asked is it one (1) of those that the Commission has to look at and determine if it is enforceable and the aesthetics of where it can go on someone's property to enforce trash rules. She asked how you determine if it is someone ’s trash or living space under carports. Mayor Masiarczyk stated that is the point as there are hundreds of them out there, there are different types, some are called tents and there are all kinds of reasons to have them. He stated trying to get people to come into compliance will be difficult but, he suggested letting the ORC look at it. City Manager Shang stated her recommendation would be to use as a guideline that we do not want to make work for a group but, we want to keep the group engaged and as a goal we would give ORC four (4) ordinances per year and then they will have some expectation of the work. Mayor Masiarczyk responded that the expectation they have is that they want to see something done with the work they do and that will be the problem with the carport issue, there is no solution; let Orc look into it but, tell them up front that this has been thought about for 20+ years and no ideal solution has been found so far Vice Mayor Nabicht asked Mr. Bowley if there is an issue that you get a lot of variance requests on where the ordinance could be tweaked. Mr. Bowley responded there is something simple we keep talking about which is non-principle structures and the zoning is for principle structures such as if you are going to add a room or enclose a garage. He stated most of the variance requests are for ancillary structures like pools, sheds and fences and to tweak that ordinance would be a simple thing to go to ORC. Other ordinances suggested were the noise, fireworks, partying around the plaza with drinks and it was City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Minutes February 6, 2017 suggested that staff could feed the topics to the City Manager and she can bring them to the Commission to review, okay and move forward. There were no other questions or comments. 13. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: City Manager Shang stated Vice Mayor Nabicht was going to bring up TPO and she wanted to suggest that we go after trail dollars; there is funding for trails and the Tetra Tech report mentioned that trails is our niche, we have done some preliminary work on trails so, it makes sense to go after trails. Vice Mayor Nabicht suggested since there is not a lot of time to debate what we want to do, the requests are due in March, staff knows what to do and the worst that can happen is we submit something to TPO and TPO says “no” and if we do not submit anything we may be missing out on some funds. He stated we have some trails projects, we just need to give the nod to move forward with the application. There were no other comments on this item. 14. CITY COMMISSION COMMENTS: Commissioner Bradford stated she wanted to include the Community Garden and direct the City Manager to do a Capital Improvements Program (CIP) to draw up a scope so, we can have a community garden beside the Community Center. City Manager Shang clarified this is different than the Pescha's community garden. Vice Mayor Nabicht stated there would need to be a motion to agenda the item. Mayor Masiarczyk suggested a workshop and requested Commission Bradford bring back her ideas. He asked if this would be for discussion or would it be a presentation. Commissioner Bradford responded that Florida Hospital of Orange City has a community garden and they are willing to work with other community gardens in other areas. She stated she wanted to see a community garden beside the new Community Center and tie the trails into it as well. Vice Mayor Nabicht stated since we have a lot of time with it being next to the new Community Center we should put it on a workshop. It was recommended Commissioner Bradford make a motion and get a second to move forward with the discussion of scoping for a community garden at the new Community Center. Commissioner Herzberg asked to add to the discussion that she believes the City needs to do a parks CIP for the future. She stated since the Tetra Tech study came out it gives the City guidelines. She suggested the City having a facilitator and community input. Mayor Masiarczyk suggested getting several issues together and have a facilitator walk the Commission through them. City Manager Shang suggested it could be similar to what was done for the strategic plan. Mayor Masiarczyk stated let's get a motion and a second to move forward. Mayor Masiarczyk stated he wanted to bring up a subject concerning him. He asked what City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Minutes February 6, 2017 the understanding by everyone about missing a meeting was; do you call or email the Mayor or City Manager to inform them. City Manager Shang stated for the record she did not receive anything from anyone. Mayor Masiarczyk stated that the standing standard of operation (SOP) is to always let the Mayor or City Manager know by whatever means and Commissioner Soukup did let the Mayor know; however, he does have concerns about a Commissioner showing up at the regular meeting but, not the agenda review. He asked if City Manager Shang had talked to the Commissioner about why, is there a reason, is there a conflict that prevents being here at this time because, he has had people ask him about that. There were no other comments. 15. ADJOURNMENT: Mayor Masiarczyk adjourned the meeting at 5:58 p.m. _________________________________________ Janet Day, Deputy City Clerk City of Deltona Page 7 Printed on 6/3/2020

Request for Approval of Resolution No. 2017-02, Approval of Prior Year (FY 2015/2016) Budget Carry Forward of Municipal Complex Fund funds in order to provide funding to complete multi-year “The Center at Deltona” Municipal Complex project - Robert Clinger, Finance Department (386) 878-8552. Strategic goal: Fiscal Issues Background: The City currently has “The Center at Deltona” a Municipal Complex project that is on-going and spans more than one fiscal year. This project is subject to design, bidding, and selection schedules as well as mobilization and implementation schedules that can result in multi -year City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda February 6, 2017 expenditures. Last year, the Finance Department worked with Public Works to establish a protocol which allows for more accurate budgeting of multi-year projects so that projects can more efficiently carry forward from one budget year to the next. The City’s Municipal Complex Fund had a revised capital budget of $8,980,000 for FY 2015/2016 and is requesting to carry forward $2,285,700 of unspent funds. The funds will be allocated to two (2) on-going multi-year Municipal Complex projects. Attachments: 2017-14-BA-The Center Carryforward R-2017-02 - BA - Municipal Complex Fund The Center 10. OLD BUSINESS: A. Request for approval of the novation letter assigning Hawksley Consulting Inc. agreement to Stantec Consulting Services Inc, Matt Doan, P.E., Public Works Director, (386) 878-8973. Strategic Goal: Fiscal Issues Background: The City of Deltona has utilized Burton & Associates, Inc. on a variety of rate, impact fee, and other financial services across multiple departments. Burton & Associates, Inc. was acquired by Hawksley Consulting Inc. and the most recent rate study agreement presented at the December 12, 2016 Regular Commission Meeting reflected the current name. The back-up information provided by the Public Works Director at the meeting included discussion regarding a letter received the Friday prior indicating another name change to Stantec Consulting Services Inc. Hawksley Consulting Inc. was owned by MWH Global Inc. which was bought previously by Stantec Consulting Services Inc. and the letter indicated the subsidiary names would be dissolved effective January 1, 2017 including MWH Global Inc., Hawksley Consulting Inc., and Burton & Associates and all assets and liabilities, including existing contracts, will be assigned to Stantec Consulting Services Inc. All Burton & Associates, Inc. staff that work on City of Deltona projects remain and office locations will be maintained under the new name. Per Section 5.3 of the agreement between the City of Deltona and Hawksley Consulting Inc. for Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water Rate Study and Financial Management Services; the agreement may be assigned or transferred with prior written authorization from the City. The vendor submitted a novation letter in an effort to comply with the agreement and requests the City of Deltona exercise the option. The Public Works Department requests that the City Commission accept the assignment and transfer of the agreement from Hawksley City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda February 6, 2017 Consulting Inc. to Stantec Consulting Services Inc. and provide the written authorization noted in Article 5, Section 5.3 via execution of the novation letter. This action will facilitate timely completion of the Water and Wastewater Revenue Sufficiency Analysis (rate study) submitted as Task Order No. 1 under the agreement and as approved by the Commission on December 12, 2016. Also, the Commission directed staff to begin the RFQ process to explore new consulting services and to not assign any further work to Stantec Consulting Services Inc. The RFQ process should be completed by late summer 2017. This directive has the potential to delay necessary rate studies because the City will not have a consultant under contract, unless the Commission approves to have Stantec Consulting Services Inc. available for future work.

Thornby HERE- Proposed improvements to Thornby Park and its nature trail. Jerry Mayes, Economic Development Office, (386)878-8916. Strategic Goal: Economic Development. Provide a strategic focused effort towards economic development throughout the City to enhance existing businesses and attract new businesses. Background: The City Commission requested additional information regarding grants and the process of obtaining grants for the proposed Thornby HERE project. City staff sought approval from the West Volusia Audubon Society to act as the grant agent for the City. The Memo Of Understanding (MOU) is a City developed product crafted by the Vose Law firm. The West Volusia Audubon Society has approved the MOU and the document now needs Commission approval. The Commission also requested cost estimates for the Thornby HERE project. The consultant, Tetra Tech, has estimated trail improvements, as detailed in the attached document ($229,000) and the City’s Parks & Recreation Department has estimated the costs for the outdoor classroom ($21,000).

NEW BUSINESS: A. Approval to allow County to cohabitate at Station 64 Background: Volusia County is renovating their fire station in Osteen. During the renovation they have requested to move one of their crews to Station 64 on Fort Smith Boulevard. If approved, this cohabitation would start in March for a duration of approximately four to six months. During this time the county would move one of their engines and a crew of two into our facility. Our legal department is preparing a hold harmless agreement for the county to sign to indemnify the city from liability while they occupy our station. They would look to move to Station 64 sometime in March and would be there for approximately four to six months. The benefits to this would be relationship building between our two agencies and the crews that would be involved. Both crews would be able to see how things are done in each of the others agencies. We would also have a second engine crew that would be able to respond in our area when they are in quarters. This would be helpful when our crew is on another call, in training or on large incidents. The crews would also be able to train together and share operating procedures which would help when operating on emergency incidents in the future. The challenges to this would be that we would have to move some equipment and furniture around to accommodate the second crew. The county would have to move some of their computer equipment into the station. There would most likely be a slight increase in the utility bills for the station. Lastly, there is limited parking at the station so crews would have to jockey cars around in the morning at crew change. Overall this move will help build a stronger relationship between our two agencies. The county would bear any major costs associated with this endeavor. Attachments: Hold Harmless Agreement B. Affirmation by the City Commission of two (2) re-elected representatives from the firefighters’ pension members by the firefighters’ pension members which is done by ballot - Joyce Raftery, City Clerk Department (386) 878-8502. Strategic Goal: Internal and External Communication Background: Per Chapter 46 of the City of Deltona Code of Ordinances, specifically Section 46-28 - Board of Trustees (below), a request for member nominations was distributed requesting self nomination for the two (2) City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda February 6, 2017 member appointed seats and the only two (2) received were from the current members Kurt Vroman and John Fleemin. Per Chapter 46 of the City of Deltona Code of Ordinances, specifically Section 46-28 - Board of Trustees: (a) The sole and exclusive administration of and responsibility for the proper operation of the plan and for making effective the provisions of this article are hereby vested in a board of trustees. The board is hereby designated as the plan administrator. In the city, there is hereby created a board of trustees of the fund, which shall be solely responsible for administering the fund. The board shall consist of five members, two of whom, unless otherwise prohibited by law, shall be legal residents of the city who shall be appointed by the governing body of the city, and two of whom shall be full-time firefighters as defined in F.S. 175.032+, who shall be elected by the majority of the active firefighters* who are participants in the plan. Attachments: Member List - FFPP Board revised 01-19-2017 C. Discussion: Termination of City Residential Construction Mitigation Program (RCMP) - Ron A. Paradise, Assistant Director, Planning and Development Services, (386) 878-8610. Strategic Goal: Fiscal Issues, other grants as approved by the City Commission. Background: The City of Deltona has a Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) that outlines how the City will spend affordable housing funds that it receives. The LHAP limits resources to spend on very low and low income applicants that need assistance for basic repairs for their homes that they otherwise could not afford. In April 2015, the City was afforded an opportunity to offer home repair to moderate income applicants not in the LHAP. The Residential Construction Mitigation Program (RCMP) grant through the State of Florida program was approved by the City Commission in April 2015 and went under contract in December 2015 through Resolution No. 2015-09. From its inception, the RCMP has not been an efficient program within the City from the benefit cost analysis (BCA) low indices below the program threshold, the review of proposed improvements from the State, the bids from City contractors, and the applicable expenditures for repair. The RCMP is designed to harden structures for wind mitigation. While the CDBG, SHIP, and NSP programs have applied housing assistance throughout the City successfully, the RCMP has not been as applicable to operate. City of Deltona Page 7 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Agenda February 6, 2017 In communication with the State Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM), the result of the process to make the program work for Deltona is that separation from the program is mutually agreeable (see attached e-mail). This is also verified through the low BCA scores. The City has thus noticed the eight (8) applicants associated with the RCMP. Of eligible moderate income applicants from the RCMP, they will be transferred to the SHIP Disaster Mitigation/Recovery Assistance if their repairs meet that program criteria, which allows for moderate income expenditures. The attached spreadsheet documents the status of the RCMP applicants and efforts to assist eligible applicants through the SHIP Disaster Mitigation/Recovery Assistance strategy. Staff will return to the Commission in the future if a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached. Attachments: RCMP Spreadsheet Email RE RCMP 12. CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS: 13.
