ORDINANCE 2021-24 Extending The CRA 1st Reading [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: The City Commission will consider an ordinance to approve the continued existence of the Lake Wales Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) through September 30, 2051. RECOMMENDATION After first reading and separate public hearing, staff recommends that the City Commission take the following action: 1. Approve Ordinance 2021-24, approving the continued existence of the Lake Wales Community Redevelopment Agency through September 30, 2051. BACKGROUND The Community Redevelopment Agency is considering the issuance of a Revenue Note, Series 2021 in an amount not to exceed $18,500,000 to provide financing for redevelopment activities related to implementation of the Lake Wales Connected Plan. The Series 2021 Note is expected to be issued later this year and have a term of at least twenty years, in which case it would mature in 2041. In order to issue such long-term debt, the City will be required to extend the life of the CRA (set to expire September 30, 2029) since tax increment will be used to repay the debt. The Florida Legislature recently amended the redevelopment statutes to provide that redevelopment agencies will generally terminate no later than September 30, 2039 unless the governing body of the city which created the agency approves its continued existence by a majority vote. The attached ordinance would constitute the City Commission's majority approval for continued existence of the CRA. OPTIONS  agencies will generally terminate no later than September 30, 2039 unless the governing body of the city which created the agency approves its continued existence by a majority vote. The attached ordinance would constitute the City Commission's majority approval for continued existence of the CRA. OPTIONS Decline to adopt the ordinance and direct staff to pursue alternative funding options for implementation of the Lake Wales Connected Plan. FISCAL IMPACT By extending the life of the CRA from September 30, 2029 to September 30, 2051, the CRA will be eligible to facilitate issuance of long-term debt for purposes of financing redevelopment activities related to implementation of the Lake Wales Connected Plan. [End Agenda Memo] James Slaton, City Manager, reviewed this item. Commissioner Howell asked about the end date and if we planned to have a CRA forever. Mr. Slaton said they can't go on forever only 60 years. This extension would be the second 30 years. It will ultimately expire. Deputy Mayor Gibson said that what we are doing is consistent with the CRA plan will identifying the projects that we are borrowing money for in this Ordinance look like we are adding them after the fact? Chris Roe, Bryant, Miller, Olive, said this is just ratifying or confirming the projects so the amendment can be reworded to clarify this. Deputy Mayor Gibson agreed with this. 4. Buck Moore Road Corridor Capacity Study Agreement [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: The proposed Buck Moore Road Corridor Capacity Study will identify needed roadway design requirements and implement a plan of action as new growth and development occurs along this road. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the following: 1. Approval of the Buck Moore Road Corridor Capacity Study Agreement. 2. Authorize funding of the Study at an amount not-to-exceed $25,000. BACKGROUND Along Buck Moore Road, a County-maintained collector road, there are a substantial number of undeveloped properties that have historically been used for citrus groves. Currently, this road operates at a Level of Service (LOS) of “B”, and has a LOS Standard of “D”. However, over the past few months, there have been five (5) proposed single- family residential projects totaling 684 units that have been approved in this area: Leighton Landing - 46 units 80 Acres Project - 349 units Buck Moore Heights (West Side) – 100 units Robin’s Run – 156 units Robin’s Walk – 33 units The expected trip generation from these projects, combined with the existing traffic currently using the roadway during peak periods, could eventually result at some point in the future where an appropriate level of service cannot be maintained.  Robin’s Walk – 33 units The expected trip generation from these projects, combined with the existing traffic currently using the roadway during peak periods, could eventually result at some point in the future where an appropriate level of service cannot be maintained. To provide for proactive planning to mitigate future impacts, staff has requested this proposal from our Transportation Planning Consultant (VHB) for a corridor capacity analysis. This analysis will identify both the short-term (5-10 years) and long-term (Year 2045) requirements for roadway design, plus intersection geometrics that will obtain/maintain the adopted level of service standard. This study includes both the evaluation of roadway capacity needs and multi-modal elements (bicycle, pedestrian, transit) that will be consistent with the anticipated services and vision for this area of the City. Once completed, this study will be a guide for future development activity along Buck Moore Road. It will also be used to coordinate with Polk County for needed improvements. OTHER OPTIONS Decline to approve the execution of the agreement. FISCAL IMPACT Funds for Professional Services in the amount of $25,000 for this study are in the FY 2021/2022 Development Services Department budget. [End Agenda Memo] James Slaton, City Manager, and Mark Bennett, Development Services Director, reviewed this item. Deputy Mayor Robin Gibson asked to confirm that water and sewer is available to houses on Buck Moore Road. Mr. Slaton said yes every one. Mayor Fultz said our services are available out there. Mayor Fultz said he is glad this is being done to prepare for new growth. Mr. Slaton said this is better than being retroactive. Deputy Mayor Gibson said this is more efficient and saves taxpayer money by using what is paid for. Mayor Fultz asked if we will need to expand our sewer plant or build a new one. Mr. Slaton said once we exceed 50% capacity we need to start planning for a new one and we are about there now. Mayor Fultz said that he is glad staff is paying attention to this. 5.

Award Of Bid #21-492 WRF Vacuum Truck Drying Bed Construction [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: Contracting for $280,999.00 for the construction of the WRF Vacuum Truck Drying Bed construction. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Commission consider taking the following action: 1. Approve the award of bid for bid number 21-492 to C & T Contracting for $280,999.00 for the construction of the WRF Vacuum Truck Drying Bed construction. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate documents, on the City’s behalf. BACKGROUND City staff contracted with Kimley-Horn & Associates to provide a proposal to design a new vacuum truck sludge drying bed, for which the City Commission approved at its December 15, 2020 commission meeting. Staff placed the project out to bid on July 26, 2021 with a bid open date of September 9, 2021. Time and use has now made it necessary for staff to perform this required maintenance and new construction. When the vactor returns to the wastewater plant at the end of the day, the contents are emptied onto the drying bed. Drying takes place by a combination of evaporation and gravity drainage through a piping network built underneath the drying bed pit. Once the sludge is completely dried, the dried material is shoveled into the dumpster for disposal. The liquid from the vactor truck is drained through the piping under the drying bed that eventually makes its way through the wastewater treatment plant. Staff is recommending the City Commission approve the award of bid and signing of the contract by the City Manager to C & T Contracting for $280,999.00 based on the bid recommendation presented by Kimley-Horn & Associates for these construction services. OTHER OPTION None. The drying bed is used to dry material released from the Vactor Truck. The material has to be dried prior to being placed into the dumper for removal.  bid and signing of the contract by the City Manager to C & T Contracting for $280,999.00 based on the bid recommendation presented by Kimley-Horn & Associates for these construction services.

One Up Adventures, LLC agrees to pay the city a training fee of $5.00 per student per day.

Commissioner Howell asked if everyone is on the same playing field. She asked if everyone is following rules with the hangars. Ms. Allen said all hangars were inspected recently for items that shouldn't be there. Ms. Allen explained differences between different leases. Commissioner Howell asked if our leases should be changed to match FAA standards. No we still need our own standards we just can't outright deny someone. Deputy Mayor Gibson said the Commission deals with policy, not administration and we are not a court. So we don't need to be involved. Albert Galloway, Jr., said the commission approves leases like contracts. The role of the commission in these issues was discussed. Commissioner Howell said so long as we are following FAA rules she is fine. Ms. Allen said we have projects fully funded by FAA so we meet their guidelines. Commissioner Hilligoss said we should be sure what our policies are. Deputy Mayor Gibson said violations of policy can come to the Commission but no one should go over the staff to the commission. Mayor Fultz said he directs many concerns and complaints back to staff. 8.

Resolution 2021-21 - Establishing A Census Redistricting Committee [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS A redistricting committee needs to be appointed to determine boundary lines for geographic areas represented by Commission Seats 2 through 5. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that each commissioner appoint a citizen to serve on the redistricting committee that will define the boundaries of four city commission districts containing population that is as equal as feasible. Staff recommends that the appointments be effective on November 1, 2021. BACKGROUND Now that the results of the 2020 Census have been received and are being compiled, it is necessary to redraw the city commission district boundary lines to ensure that each district contains population that is distributed as equally as feasible. Although there are currently five commission districts, Seat 1 is an at-large seat held by the mayor. The other four geographical districts will be represented by commission seats two through five. In accordance with the City Charter, the City Commission must appoint a districting commission comprised of 3 to 5 registered voters of the city within one year of receiving the 2020 census data. The Charter assigns the following task to the districting commission: Within six months after its appointment, the districting commission shall file with the city clerk a report containing a recommended plan for adjustment of either the allocation of commission seats within each commission district or adjustment of the commission district boundaries to comply with the following specifications: (1) Each district shall be formed of compact, contiguous property, as nearly rectangular as possible, and its boundary lines shall follow the center lines of the streets. (2) Each commission seat assigned to the commission districts shall represent as nearly as possible the same number of citizens as determined from population data derived from the last decennial census. The area represented by each commission seat does not differ in population by more than ten percent. The districting commission may establish its own procedures or methodology for completing its task. Each member will be provided with a copy of the census block map and population data for each block. The goal of the districting commission will be to produce a recommendation to the City Commission for establishment of four geographical districts that are as equal in population as possible. Exactly how a recommendation is determined will be up to the members of the districting commission. The City Commission must appoint the districting commission within 12 months of receiving the census data, and the districting commission must make its recommendation within six months after appointment. The census data was received in August 2021. Following the 2000 and 2010 censuses, it was possible to complete the redistricting process within 12 months of receiving the data, including the six-month period allowed for committee work.  The City Commission must appoint the districting commission within 12 months of receiving the census data, and the districting commission must make its recommendation within six months after appointment.

Following the 2000 and 2010 censuses, it was possible to complete the redistricting process within 12 months of receiving the data, including the six-month period allowed for committee work. Also by Charter, the ordinance implementing the districting commission recommendation and establishing the new district boundaries must be adopted no later than 90 days before the 2023 election; i.e., not later than December 31, 2022. The districting commission report must be filed no later than November 15, 2022 in order to allow two readings and adoption of an ordinance by December 31, 2022. OPTIONS The City Commission may wish to postpone appointment of the districting commission. Once appointed, the commission has six months in which to make its recommendation. The commission may be appointed as late as February 2022 and still make the required deadlines. If the City Commission wishes to move forward and appoint a districting commission at this time, we recommend making the appointment effective on November 1, 2021. The districting commission would then have until May 1, 2022 to make its recommendation. FISCAL IMPACT none [End Agenda Memo] Jennifer Nanek, City Clerk, reviewed this item.
