10. CONSENT AGENDA:
City of Deltona Page 2 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes August 5, 2019
A. Request for approval of Task Authorization #5 with Tetra Tech, Inc. to
continue with the overall Alexander Avenue Water Resources Facility
(AAWRF) - Lake Monroe Withdrawal and Transmission, Phase 4B. - John
Peters, III, Public Works/Deltona Water (386) 878-8973.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Mayor Herzberg stated that this is the Lake Monroe withdrawal transmission Phase 4B.
She asked Deltona Water Director John Peters if this is basically the specs/task and Mr.
Peters replied correct.
B. Approval for the Hurricane Irma Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP),
Fire Chief Bill Snyder, (386) 575-6902
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Fire Chief Snyder stated that the county has meetings every quarter and allows cities to put
initiatives for projects in to mitigate future problems. The initiatives are ranked and when
money becomes available, which is usually when a storm comes through, money becomes
available to pay for some of those initiatives. If the City gets the grant it is usually a 75/25
matching grant. Deltona put in for the grant in December 2017 and because of tariffs and
the price of steel going up the cost has gone up by $30,000.
Mayor Herzberg asked if the recipients of this grant are the Public Works building, Fire
Station 64 and Deltona Water and Fire Chief Snyder replied correct.
C. Rental Agreement - Storm Debris Management Location - John Peters, III,
Public Works/Deltona Water (386) 878-8973.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety
Commissioner Bradford stated that she wants to pull this item because she has questions
on it.
Commissioner Avila-Vazquez asked what were her questions and Commissioner Bradford
replied that she would like to know if the City has any vacant properties that could be
prepared for storm debris instead of paying $13,000 a month. Deltona Water Director John
Peters replied not to the extent that Deltona needs and that the $13,000 will be charged
only if the property is used which would be in a disaster designation and will in all likely
hood be reimbursed for the cost of the rental. Commissioner Bradford added 80% would
be reimbursed and then she asked what it would take to prepare a vacant property that
Deltona owns to use for storm debris and how many months did the City use the location for
the last hurricane. Purchasing Agent Jacque Cioffi replied three months for each hurricane.
Commissioner Bradford asked what preparation has to be done to the property and Mr.
Peters replied there are several parts to the operation. The first part is to document the
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes August 5, 2019
debris at the location in the City and to photograph it. Then when it goes to the debris site
the debris monitor determines how full the truck is and documents every truck that comes in.
Once it is at the debris site debris management determines if the debris is broken down
there or if it is taken to another location and then to the final disposal site. This site is
extremely important in terms of making sure the City gets its reimbursement from the
Federal Government.
Mayor Herzberg asked if that site is used by anyone else and Mr. Peters replied just
Deltona because co-mingling can cause trouble.
Vice Mayor Ramos asked what is the size of the lot the City currently use and City Manager
Shang replied 11.2 acres.
Commissioner Avila-Vazquez asked if it is the property by the Howland Blvd. Walmart and
Vice Mayor Ramos replied it is by State Road 415.
D. Deltona Water Plant - East Lombardy Drive - Buried Power Service
Easement - John Peters, III, Public Works/Deltona Water (386) 878-8973.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety
Commissioner Avila-Vazquez stated that the power companies should bury the lines all
over Deltona and Commissioner King replied that the power companies would love it
because they do not do it for free. It is a big deal getting the lines buried for free, because it
costs a lot of money to put them underground.
11. CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL REPORTS AND REQUESTS:
Mayor Herzberg stated that she is going to ask for two updates. There was a question in the
past about reclaimed water at Coventry Subdivision and the timeline and there was a
concern about the City rezoning a small piece of property on Courtland Blvd. and Doyle Rd
for a Dollar Tree.
Mayor Herzberg asked if the Commission wanted clarification on what is going on at Lake
Gleason and Commissioner Avila-Vazquez replied that she wanted clarification because it
is in her district Assistant City Manager Dr. Cooper replied that he will talk with the Director.
Commissioner Avila -Vazquez said that she would like to schedule her District 3 meeting
for September 10th.
City Manager Shang said that Mr. Mike Williams has the results of a survey that he
conducted.
Commissioner Bradford said that she would like to bring up the Charter Officer Review
process, that the Commission did want to have a workshop on it and that the Commission
was supposed to get examples and it never happened. Vice Mayor replied that in the last
meeting he requested it and was told that at the end of the month there is supposed to be
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes August 5, 2019
an update on the next Regular Commission Meeting.
Mayor Herzberg asked the City Attorney if she could give an update on closed captioning
and City Attorney Segal-George replied that the City will be applying for an exemption and if
granted the City will be good with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and
ADA(Americans with Disabilities Act), that staff is looking at purchasing a piece of
equipment for closed captioning for all archival records such as YouTube, Facebook and
the Commission meetings after the fact (not live), the only thing that would change is if the
FCC denies the exemption.
City Manager Shang stated that there would be a budgetary impact in savings from
possibly the cost of $90,000 to about $30,000 which is a savings of about $60,000.
Mayor Herzberg asked if the City does not have to do the broadcast and City Attorney
Segal-George stated that the broadcast is very expensive and that is why there is that
potential exemption because governments do not use broadcasts except 3 or 4 times a
month and most of the people that have to do closed captioning are broadcasting in a much
greater way. Someone who wants closed captioning on a meeting would be able to get it
the next day.

14. CITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:

B. Approval for the Hurricane Irma Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), Fire
Chief Bill Snyder, (386) 575-6902
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Background: We received notification on November 6, 2017 that Volusia County
would be receiving the 90-Day Estimate for the Hurricane Irma Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) around the second week of
December 2017. Due to this announcement, Volusia County
Emergency Management requested all new Local Mitigation Strategy
(LMS) initiatives be submitted at the LMS Steering Committee meeting
on December 13, 2017. We submitted two initiatives on that day, one
of which was immediately rejected (EOC kitchen upgrade). The
second, was the Hardening of Critical Facilities in Deltona initiative
which was accepted and assigned three initiative numbers for each
facility being upgraded. All information, (including the price quotes) on
the initiatives was locked in at that point. The Notice of Funding
Availability was released on February 6, 2018, announcing all aspects
of the HMGP grant. The original deadline for the grant was April 1,
2018, but was later revised to August 6, 2018.
The hardening project is focused on the three metal critical facilities in
the City - Fire Station 64, the Public Works Depot, and the Deltona
Water building. Each facility will undergo a roof strengthening upgrade,
new high velocity, impact resistance garage doors, and for Station 64
and Public Works, hurricane shutters. These upgrades are designed to
increase the wind protection on these facilities from 130 mph to 151
mph.
The Florida Department of Emergency Management notified the City
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/4/2020
City Commission Agenda August 5, 2019
on June 20, 2019, that its grant application was awarded in the amount
of $260,235, which consists of a 75% Federal share of $195,176.25,
and a City 25% share of $65,058.75. Since receiving notification of
the grant award, I contacted prospective contractors to update the
original project quotations from 18 months ago. Due to the increase in
steel and aluminum prices over the last year, the estimated total cost for
this project is now $290,676. The City will also budget a $10,000
contingency to cover unexpected costs not included in the quotation .
With the contingency, the total project budget is now $301,000. The
Federal share, however, remains at $195,176.25, bringing the City’s
total budgeted share at $105,824.
The breakdown of the total cost per department is as follows:
Facility Total Budget Federal Share City Budget
Fire Station 64 $78,260 $50,746 $27,515
Public Works Depot $141,470 $91,733 $49,737
Deltona Water $81,270 $52,698 $28,572
TOTAL$301,000 $195,176 $105,824
The City will reapply to the Florida Department of Emergency
Management for additional funding to cover the unexpected increase of
construction costs. If approved, the grant-funded portion will increase to
$218,007 and the City’s share would be $72,699, but funding is not
guaranteed at this time.

available a storm debris management site. In 2017 the City entered
into an agreement with the owners of the property, Farmton Osteen,
LLC to lease the property for debris management, including hauling,
dumping, collection, moving, sorting, storage, monitoring, observation,

Background: The Water Plant is currently serviced by DUKE Energy via overhead
power lines. This area has been identified as an area by DUKE
Energy as being impacted by power outages. To maintain reliable
service to the plant, DUKE Energy is proposing to bury the power lines,
at no cost to the City. This burial of power lines will provide a more
reliable power service with fewer power interruptions to the plant.
