City of Deltona Page 2 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Minutes February 5, 2018 Commissioner Bradford asked to confirm whether she had leaks or not because she says she had no leaks. She asked how Mrs. McCool received credits if she did not have any leaks. Mr. Doan responded Mrs. McCool submitted a leak the first time under her name and the second time with an issue with an expansion tank and they switched names on the account. He stated now Mrs. McCool says there were never any leaks. Commissioner Bradford asked for clarification of that because what was reported to the Press was there was never a leak. She stated she was informed there was leaks and that is the only way they could have gotten a credit after they provided a receipt for the repair. Mr. Doan responded that the City does allow a courtesy credit every two (2) years but that is not what this was; it was a credit that they requested for two (2) different leaks. Mayor Masiarczyk commented this is staff business and is not something the Commission needs to debate. City Manager Shang stated there should be some clarification. Mayor Masiarczyk responded responded the clarification needs to be what is the alternative, she owes the City money; Mrs. McCool can speak during public participation and then if she wants to speak with staff we can allow her to speak with staff after the meeting. Mr. Doan will be at the meeting and he can give the details. Commissioner Bradford asked that there be a public clarification because it has been out there and that is causing a lot of calls and has been on the news. Mayor Masiarczyk stated we have a policy of not debating with customers so we will let her say her piece and sit down and when Public Participation is done he will ask Mr. Doan to come up and explain this situation since it has been in the press. He suggested it may be better to have the City Manager ask the Mayor if we can allow Mr. Doan to explain the situation. City Manager Shang stated the second person who will probably be speaking will be Brandy White regarding a complaint that The Center was not open when she was there today. She added as far as she knows there was staff there who was alone and that person had to go to the bathroom so she locked the doors. There were no other comments on this item.

CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS: City Attorney Fowler stated he will be handing out copies of a draft Resolution for the Commission to look at that will not be on the agenda until the next meeting regarding the 1/2 Cent Sales Tax for infrastructure. Mayor Masiarczyk asked that City Attorney Fowler hand them out tonight at the end of the meeting and he asked if the resolution was to support the tax. He stated we have not had a meeting on this. City Manager Shang responded this is just a heads up that she believed she had sent it out, legal has looked at it and what is wanted is a uniform resolution. Mayor Masiarczyk asked who wants this. City Manager Shang responded it is her understanding City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Minutes February 5, 2018 that the County wants a unform resolution from all 16 cities. Mayor Masiarczyk stated no resolutions has been proposed at any meeting he has attended. Vice Mayor Herzberg responded it will be discussed at next Monday's Round Table. Mayor Masiarczyk stated once it has been on Monday's Round Table then we can bring it before the Commission. He asked the City Attorney to write DRAFT across it and the way this is moving through at the Round Table is to push it to the managers and he feels it should come back to the Commission so he can talk about it intelligently since he has not see the document. He stated he has attended all the meetings and it has not been figured out whether it is infrastructure or what ezplaining that infrastructure is not roads. City Manager Shang responded they wanted it to be broad so you can then chose whatever purpose you want to use the money for. Mayor Masiarczyk responded "yes" but he does not want to get into that debate tonight because is has not been decided yet if we want buy say cameras for VCSO which improves transportation or body armor for the Firefighters because what he is hearing is the committee wants to oversee how the City spends the money, the committee has not been defined yet and needs to be spelled out. He stated until that is spelled out and the ramifications he does not want to do an interlocal agreement to move this forward as he does not want 16 cities telling us what projects we can submit. He wants to see more detail. City Manager Shang stated it is broad and it does not even get into those details. Commissioner Bradford commented she would give her school update at the next meeting because she left her information at home. Commissioner Nabicht stated he can only speak from the transportation standpoint that Lois Hollenback goes to the Elected Officials Round Table because when this whole conversation started on the 1/2 cent sales tax it was specifically for transportation, then somewhere along the way that has gotten muddied up to be for anything which is just extending another tax on the people without raising anyone's miliage rate. He stated personally he has grave concerns about what is being done because transportation is a system and challenging and that is what the tax was designed for and it does no good to pick a part of the system in Deltona likening it to I-4 Improvement of three (3) laning I-4 to Saxon Blvd. and not improving Saxon Blvd. up to Finland you will still have a choke point at Normandy. The system is not working for example if Deltona uses it for transportation and Orange City uses the money to sewer the city that does nothing for the network. Mayor Masiarczyk stated in the beginning we wanted to keep it for extra funding for VOTRAN to increase on the West side and to have SunRail paid for as there is no funding for SunRail. Vice Mayor Herzberg stated first when the consultant did the survey he said the 1 cent would never pass but the 1/2 cent would pass, transportation would pass, sewer and septic will not pass however stormwater, flooding and clean water projects ranked high so when you look at that for Deltona the problem is it has never happened for Deltona that any time we have had an increase like the 1/2 cent sales tax is because of the distribution formula. She stated keep in mind we have the distribution formula on our side and it may never happen again. She stated the 1/2 cent is set to be the same as the sales tax which means we would reap the most, the managers and the consultants have agreed to stick with the sales tax formula. She encouraged everyone before we get all fired up about what it is City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/3/2020 City Commission Minutes February 5, 2018 going to be on not it is going to be very specific and it will not fly if it is not. She added that Sullivan has worked on this in other counties and they have all passed. She stated we are set to receive $4 to 5 million, the highest of anybody and that is better than nothing. Commissioner Honaker rasied a question on the bonding. Mayor Masiarczyk responded there is no language yet or discussion on how long you can bond that money for, if you bond that money it will never go away, there is no sunset. Commissioner Honaker stated he wanted to let somebody else help pay for our roads and not just our residents. Mayor Masiaczyk stated it looks beautiful but when they start putting stipulations on what you can do with the money and who can do what with it he just doesn't anybody telling us what to do with the money. He added he fought from day one (1) to make the distribution by population and now they want to be tricky and have a special board to decide. Voce Mayor Herzberg responded she does not think they are being sneaky but it is just part of the process and no tax increase is going to fly without being specific and without public input. Commissioner Nabicht likened it to the School Board Sub-Committee and it is just to make sure the City is spending the money on what we say we are spending it on however some of the language has been that this board made up of people from the cities is going to tell us what we can spend the money on.
