Second Amended And Restated Implementation Agreement For The Southeast Wellfield [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: The changes to the Implementation Agreement are to establish anchor partners at the recommendation of the lending partners, WIFIA (EPA) and SRF (FDEP).  [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: The changes to the Implementation Agreement are to establish anchor partners at the recommendation of the lending partners, WIFIA (EPA) and SRF (FDEP). RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Commission take the following action: 1. Approve signing the Polk Regional Water Cooperative (PRWC) Second Amended and Restated Implementation Agreement for the Southeast Wellfield 2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate documents, on the City’s behalf. BACKGROUND It is anticipated there will be a need for additional supply given future expected development and system expansion. Alternatives for future additional supply may potentially include bulk water purchases from the PRWC (Polk Regional Water Cooperative). While the City is a participant of the PRWC who is developing the Southeast Wellfield Project, the status of the City to the Southeast Wellfield project is listed as Project Associate. Signing the implementation agreement as a Project Associate allows the City time to perform some due diligence as to the feasibility of a City funded Alternative Water Source project. The Commission approved for the City to be represented as a project associate at the April 20, 2021 city commission meeting. The agreement is being brought back before the commission because of some minor changes made to the agreement. While there have been changes to the agreement, it does not affect the city’s position to continue as a project associate at this time. The changes to the Implementation Agreements are minor and are being made to comply with edits provided to the PRWC by the lending partners, WIFIA (EPA) and SRF (FDEP). The most significant change is the concept of “anchor project participants”. For the Southwest Wellfield the anchor project participants are Auburndale, Davenport, Haines City, Winter Haven, and Polk County. As provided for on page 21 of the redlined version attached, there can be no reduction of an anchor project participants water allocation without approval of the lender. This change was made to maintain the overall credit worthiness of the project. Staff recommends the Commission take the following action, approve the signing of Second Amended and Restated Implementation Agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute the appropriate documents, on the City’s behalf. OTHER OPTIONS None FISCAL IMPACT Becoming a Project Associate will not obligate the City for any of the debt at this time. If at any time the City changes its position and chooses the option to become a Project Partner of the Southeast Wellfield project, it is at that time financial responsibility will be determined.

ORDINANCE D2022-12 2nd Reading And Public Hearing Zoning Map Amendment For 10.02 Acres Of Land North Of Linda Street And East Of Tangelo Street [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: Shelton T. Rice, authorized agent for owner, requests approval of City Commission to amend the Zoning Map on approximately 10.02 acres of land. RECOMMENDATION Adoption at second reading, following a public hearing to reassign the following zoning designation, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board at a regular meeting on April 26, 2022: Current Zoning: Polk County Residential Suburban (RS) Proposed Zoning: R-1A The first reading to reassign zoning by City Commission was approved at a regular meeting on June 7, 2022. BACKGROUND The subject property is located north of Linda Street and east of Tangelo Street. This parcel is adjacent to city limits on its western boundary and is located approximately one mile south of the Walmart. The owners petitioned annexation into the corporate city limits of Lake Wales on March 19, 2022 and have requested that the annexation, land use amendment, and zoning amendment be presented together. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval to city commission to reassign the land use and zoning designations at a regular meeting on April 26, 2022. The request to reassign land use was approved at first reading by City Commission at a regular meeting on May 17, 2022 and approved at second reading on June 7, 2022. The first reading to reassign zoning was approved at a regular meeting on June 7, 2022. There are no immediate development plans for this parcel. However, if development is contemplated for this property, the developer or owner would be required to engage in conversations with the City to discuss development processes. A Zoning designation of R-1A is appropriate with existing R-1A zoning to the west and compatible with the existing county development to the south. CODE REFERENCES AND REVIEW CRITERIA The City Commission assigns future Land Use and Zoning designations by ordinances upon a recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Board. FISCAL IMPACT Re-assignment would enable the development of this property and the potential increase in property value.
