13. CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS:
City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 5/4/2023
City Commission Minutes May 1, 2023
The City Attorney stated the carrier has accepted the Stone Island litigation and they will
be handling and assisting in the litigation. She is trying to put dates together for a shade
meeting so the Commission can sit with the lawyer for the carrier that has been
assigned and discuss some of the particulars of the claim. With regards to other claims,
Florida a couple of years ago charged the law with regards to what you can have shade
meetings for. The City cannot have a shade meeting just because a claim has been
filed. We must have actual litigation to schedule a shade meeting with the Commission.
All information with regards to claims under Florida Statutes is protected and
confidential until such time as there is a result.
14. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
The City Manager stated that coming from Tallahassee, the City has received funding
for the East Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Fisher Wastewater Treatment Plant, the
Elkcam Drive project for raising the road and for the design of the Theresa Basin
Outfalls and flood control. The significance of that is that they know this is the first
request and that there will be other requests on these projects so it is on their radar for
future funding.
The City Manager stated there will be a resident flood information workshop held on
Thursday, May 18th from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the Commission Chambers.
15. CITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Commissioner Avila-Vazquez spoke about the Deltona High School ROTC Ball, the
Bacon and Brew event, Arbor Day, New Hope Services' Anniversary, and the Discovery
Elementary Ride/Walk.
Commissioner McCool spoke about her Florida Cancer Specialist fundraiser, unchecked
growth and traffic, educational concurrency, and the teacher deficit.
Commissioner JodyLee spoke about sidewalk improvements.
Vice Mayor Bradford spoke about the City Manager's Report, resident flooding, grant
funds, Tennis Play, Volleyball open gym, Bonkers, the Flow Mobile, graduations and
award ceremonies.

consulting engineering services for City Hall Upgrades and Repairs. - Mark
Manning, Parks & Recreation (386) 878-8905.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Background: This work order dated 2/24/2023 is an extension to a previously

Order to provide architectural and engineering services in connection

Glenn Whitcomb, Public Works/Deltona Water (386) 878-8929.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Background: The City has unique and extensive community needs after the impacts
of Hurricane Ian & Nicole in 2022. The unprecedented flooding and
damages sustained not only to Deltona but the entire State of Florida
has opened up many funding opportunities that the City needs to
proactively and assertively pursue.
The City of Deltona advertised for Request for Qualifications in April
2023 and received two (2) submittals from Pegasus Engineering &
TetraTech, Inc. The selection committee members ranked each firm
with a potential of 103 possible points. The magnitude of possible
projects to pursue through grant applications justifies the need to have
two firms ready to engage in services as needed.
