8. OLD BUSINESS:
A. Review and discussion re: Executive Search Firm Selection - Interim
City Manager (386) 878-8858.
Strategic Goal: Internal and External Communications
The Commission discussed previous applicants for interim City Manager and reaching out
to them, using a search firm vs. using the Human Resources Department, previous City
Managers, the questionnaires, a national search, qualified candidates, advertising, the
process, setting parameters, community forum, rushing the process, thinking outside the
box, cost, hiring an Assistant City Manager, out of State applicants, interim hiring process,
and in-person interviews.
Vice Mayor Bradford suggested to have a workshop on this item and to have no other
topics on that agenda.
The Interim City Manager stated the process is very familiar to anyone who has been a City
Manager for any length of time. They know that they have to interview with the Commission
and they should interview with anyone who wants to come to a joint meeting of the
community. It does not have to be a formal setting but, an informal setting where you really
see both sides of the applicants' personality. More importantly, it is the applicants'
opportunity to find out about this community. The applicants are going to do an evaluation of
the Commission and the people in the community. The City has a wide variety of
personalities in the community but, the goal is to get everyone to attend and not just a few.
The Commission needs to talk briefly about what they are looking for in a manager and he
can share what he thinks the Commission should be looking for. The information that was
sent out during the Interim City Manager process can be sent out to not only the ones that
applied before but, to solicit others. A pre-analysis can be done and one of the
Commissioners should sit down with staff to do that as the Commission's representative.
The Commission should bring in four or five candidates to interview and the City will pay for
their travel, hotel and meals.
The Interim City Manager stated he would look at the calendar and set up a
workshop, he does not see any reason to delay this and the Commission
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 1/27/2023

concurred.

consistency, City Manager qualities, resident involvement, former Mayor, interview
questions, and national search.
Robert Trombetta, Deltona, spoke about pool of candidates, the process, hiring and
standards, workshop, interview questions, HR Department, qualifications, good decisions
and candidates.

Strategic Goal: Community Development
Background: The City of Deltona received an application to rezone approximately
34.83 acres of land from Business Planned Unit Development (BPUD)
and Retail Commercial District (C-1) to Residential Planned Unit
Development (RPUD). The goal is to facilitate a low-profile multi-family
residential project consisting of no more than 280 units. The units will
include standalone non-fee simple cottages, duplexes, and townhomes.
The project will be a “build to rent” development where there will be no
individual fee simple ownership rights associated with the units
(condominium association or other ownership instruments).
For more information see the attached staff report and supporting
documentation including the written RPUD Development Agreement.
On November 16, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the

City Commission approve the rezoning. On December 12, 2022, the
City Commission voted six (6) to zero (0) to approve Ordinance No.

All Planned Unit Developments are associated with a written

general, are as follows:
1) Limit the density to 280 units and describe unit types;
2) Detail the amenity package to include a clubhouse, dog park,
trail system, playground, etc.;
3) Facilitate architectural controls/requirements including requiring

Background: The City of Deltona was impacted by both Hurricane Ian and Hurricane

There is anticipation the restoration/remediation process for any
damaged home could protract over many months.
Therefore, to provide opportunity for residents to live on their properties
while damaged houses are being fixed and repaired, Ordinance No.
02-2023 will allow the waiver of provisions of City Code to allow the
location and use of travel trailers, RVs, or similar on hurricane

City Commission Regular Commission Meeting January 17, 2023
damaged properties. The travel trailers, RVs, or similar could be
provided by FEMA or privately procured and located.
This ordinance was continued to a time certain to allow for language
updates to result in a more comprehensive and clarified ordinance.
Updates and clarifications are as follows:
1) A general statement to include all applicable sections of the
Code has replaced specific Code cites.
2) Limits the scope of the ordinance to one 180-day period for the
use and provides the ability to allow another 180 days based on
cause.
3) Clarifies the temporary living units can only be used to address
primary unit damage from the hurricane(s) and sets parameters
for determining hurricane damage.
4) Restricts the use of temporary units for the residents of the
damaged property being repaired/remediated.
