RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission take the following actions: 1. Adopt Resolution 2023-18 BACKGROUND In December 2022, the City Commission approved a task order with the planning firm Dover, Kohl & Partners to assist in creating a long-range vision plan for Lake Wales. The City’s objective was to create a plan that guides the form of future (re)development and conservation areas inside Lake Wales’ utility service area boundaries. Adoption of Resolution 2023-18 affirms the City Commission’s support of the key concepts outlined within the completed plan. Lake Wales Envisioned (LWe) will serve as a general guide for future development decisions, but is not a legal or binding document. OTHER OPTIONS 1. The City Commission may choose not to approve Resolution 2023-18 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of Resolution 2023-18 [End Agenda Memo] James Slaton, City Manager, reviewed this item and introduced Victor Dover, DoverKohl, to share a Presentation on this. Victor Dover, DoverKohl, reviewed the highlights of the Lake Wales Envisioned Plan. He thanked City staff [End Agenda Memo] James Slaton, City Manager, reviewed this item and introduced Victor Dover, DoverKohl, to share a Presentation on this. Victor Dover, DoverKohl, reviewed the highlights of the Lake Wales Envisioned Plan. He thanked City staff and community partners for their work on this. He reviewed the initial aspirations approved in January and the different steps in the process since then. He shared about the various efforts to get public input on this. He reviewed the draft booklet. It is accessible and easy to read with large pictures and maps. He shared a vision map of conservation areas. It is not binding. It is a good planning tool. The City would need to coordinate with developers to connect open spaces. He shared possible ways o accomplish this. This is a big lift. A second line of effort was jobs and economy. The area around the hospital could be a health district. A good site for infill development. He shared illustrations to fill in space around Eagle Ridge Mall. They drafted a sample Ordinance for traditional neighborhoods. The Ordinance will include incentives. Mr. Dover reviewed elements of traditional neighborhoods. A market study was done to determine if there is a market for more traditional neighborhoods which confirmed there was. Mr. Dover reviewed a possible way to improve Burns Avenue and key points of entry to the City. There are numerous tools to help with trails and street improvements. The back of the book has a list of implementation steps for each section. Mr. Dover emphasized that this is a draft and can be edited. Deputy Mayor Gibson said we need to take advantage of our unique position. He recommended including the Bok Ethic as a standard for us. This says that growth can be done in a way that is better or more beautiful. He identified two areas, the mission part and purpose that could be modified to be tighter and better. Parts of the text on page 7 can be strengthened with concepts from the Bok ethic. Commissioner Thompson said he is a supporter of Lake Wales Envisioned but he is a nuts and bolts guy. This is the easy part of the hard work. Economic Development needs to happen in Lake Wales if we want quality growth. We need to develop our economy along with these other concepts. He hopes we can figure out next steps. James Slaton, City Manager, said this will be a multi-year, multi-generational project. We need to get some early wins and build momentum. If adopted the staff will get to work. Many of the implementation steps are underway. Commissioner Thompson asked if we can make this process for developers so they are not held up. We need to get things done quickly. If we are working on these things he can be a proponent of this. We cannot shut down development. He doesn't want to use this plan to frustrate developers. Mayor Hilligoss said he will vote for to adopt the resolution. There are parts that he likes such as the medical district, improvements at the Mall and Burns Avenue. We are adopting a plan in principle. Its not binding. The devil is in the details. The locations for employment centers. We need more and the locations need some review. The big green network is a moonshot. It is laudable but will need understanding of the tools and cooperation with the county. He recommended that inflammatory language against developers need to be removed. Some creative work in financing will be needed to pay for this effort. He likes the word incentivize. There is a huge housing demand that will not be met by traditional neighborhoods. Some of those houses are not attainable by many families. We cannot focus on a single type or feature of traditional neighborhood design such as alleys. This is a god plan and looks forward to working through the weeds. Commissioner Krueger said there is some wonderful parts of the plan. He likes how it looks. He has some concerns about the process. Many elements seem to be addressing climate change. Everything he has read indicates that it is a hoax. He shared an article with the Commission on this. He is concerned about controlling people. Not everyone wants to live in multi-family housing. Many want privacy. Not everyone wants alleys. He is concerned about a TND Ordinance. He is fine with aspirations and guidelines but is not sure about putting this in the ordinance. If this is accepting a report without mandates he is fine. James Slaton, City Manager, said the Ordinance will incentivize tradition neighborhoods. These will be options. Each step of implementation will be voted on by the Commission. WE will work together on this. 4.

Piggyback Annual Contract With USSI, LLC [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: Staff recommends the commission approve entering into a piggyback agreement with USSI, 6. Piggyback Annual Contract With USSI, LLC [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: Staff recommends the commission approve entering into a piggyback agreement with USSI, LLC and to expend funds in the amount of $125,700.47 to complete chimney seals (A durable material that is used to provide a seal within the manhole frame that firmly keeps the manhole top in place while making it watertight) on lift stations 1, 2 and 16 sewer shed areas. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission consider taking the following action: 1. Approve entering into a piggyback agreement with USSI, LLC utilizing the Toho Water Authority agreement. 2. Approve expending funding of $125,700.47 to perform infiltration testing on various lift stations and their respective service areas. 3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate documents, on the City’s behalf. BACKGROUND Infiltration is a term used for when groundwater enters the sanitary sewer system through faulty pipes or manholes. This can happen because of age, design, installation or maintenance issues. Inflow and infiltration water is referred to as “clear water” distinguishing it from sanitary sewage water’. When clear water gets into the wastewater and sewer system, it is treated. When it is treated, it cost the city money. It also takes up valuable capacity within the collection system and the wastewater treatment facility. Several conditions indicate when there is a seal failing on the manholes. • Lift station pumps run for a long time after a rain event. It has a large number of starts and stops after it rains. This means storm water has entered the sanitary sewer system and is on its way to be treated. • Pipes back-up. Manholes spill wastewater onto roadways or green space. • You see significant spikes in flow at your wastewater treatment plant corresponding to precipitation events or high groundwater conditions. Staff is seeing some of these same indicators happening within the City sanitary sewer system. Staff recommends commission approve entering into an annual contract with USSI for the services of infiltration testing using the piggyback agreement from Toho Water Authority. Although the city has recently completed a large amount of inspections, smoke testing, inflow dishes, chimney seals and cleanout repairs at lift stations 1,2,3,5, 9 and 16. Additional funds are in need to complete the chimney seals at lift stations 1, 2 and 16 sewer-shed area. In additions, Staff also recommends the commission approve to expend funds for $125,700.47 to complete the chimney seals on the remaining lift stations and their respective service areas. OTHER OPTION The delay in testing the specified area will continue to allow groundwater to continue to infiltrate the sanitary sewer system causing extended wear and tear on all sanitary sewer system components. FISCAL IMPACT The 2023-2024 Capital Improvements Plan has budgeted $300,000 to address this problem system wide. [End Agenda Memo] Sarah Kirkland, Utilities Director, reviewed this item. 7. Piggyback Contract With U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC. And Authorize Expenditures For $118,875.00 [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: Staff recommends the Commission approve to piggyback Daytona Beach’s contract with US 7. Piggyback Contract With U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC. And Authorize Expenditures For $118,875.00 [Begin Agenda Memo] SYNOPSIS: Staff recommends the Commission approve to piggyback Daytona Beach’s contract with US Submergent, LLC. for Utility Structure Cleaning Services. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission: 1. Approve piggyback contract with U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC. for Utility Structure Cleaning Services. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the appropriate maintenance contract documents, on the City’s behalf in regards to this purchase. 3. Authorize the Mayor to execute the grant agreement for $59,437.50, once received by staff from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency. BACKGROUND An oxidation ditch is a modified activated sludge biological treatment process that uses long solids retention times (SRTs) to remove biodegradable organics. The typical oxidation ditch is equipped with aeration rotors or brushes that provide aeration and circulation. The wastewater moves through the ditch at about 1 to 2ft/s. The ditch can be designed for continuous or intermittent operation. Because of this feature, this process is adaptable to the fluctuations in flows and loadings associated with wastewater production. It becomes necessary from time to time to remove accumulated sand and grit from the oxidation ditch to ensure the proper and efficient operation of the equipment. The removal of the sediment ensures optimum treatment capacity is always available. US Submergent effectively removed 72 tons of sand and grit in 2017 and 408 tons in 2018 for a total of 475 tons. Staff is actively seeking grant funding of $59,437.50 from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). FDEP will fund 50% of the total cost of $118, 875.00. Staff has been successful in receiving this grant in the past for both removals in the past. Staff desires to enter into an annual contract with US Submergent for routine cleaning and monitoring of the oxidation ditch. Routine cleaning will promote a healthy oxidation ditch and allow for more efficient processing of waste. Under contract, US Submergent will monitor the oxidation ditch, identifying when cleaning is necessary prior to mass build-up, and allow staff to budget for regular removal of sand and grit. Staff recommends commission approve entering into an annual contract with USSI for oxidation ditch maintenance, authorized the City Manager the executed the appropriate documents on the City’s behalf with US Submergent, and authorize the Mayor to sign the grant documents when received by staff. OTHER OPTION The Commission could chose not to approve the annual contract, which would require staff to procure individual quotes when maintenance is necessary. This can be time consuming and costly given the current industry and fluctuation of pricing. Having a maintenance schedule and contract in place allows staff to maintain the system and avoid costly repairs caused by sediment buildup. FISCAL IMPACT FY 23-24 M&R Treatment Plants has budgeted $250,000.00 for which only $59,437.50 will be spent for this service. [End Agenda Memo] Sarah Kirkland, Utilities Director, reviewed this item. Deputy Mayor Gibson asked where it fits in the budget. Ms. Kirkland said it is budgeted in Treatment Plant Management.

Also adjacent to G R Road to the west is another approved PDP called Grove at Orchard Hills, approved by City Commission in June of 2023 for a 930-lot single-family residential subdivision. The transfer and vacation of G R Road would minimize the number of accesses proposed between the two developments and does not impact utility connections. OTHER OPTIONS Decline to approve the Agreement. FISCAL IMPACT The road will be vacated during the plat process; therefore, there should be no costs incurred to the City for the maintenance of G R Road.

The removal of the contraction parcel consists of gold courses that are owned and operated by the neighboring special district. Pursuant to FS 190.046(1)(b), the County Commission may not amend the boundaries without the City’s approval. Since the District already exists and is operating, there are no additional ongoing costs to the City to implement and enforce the proposed boundary amendment. Staff reviewed the CDD submittal for consistency with the “Uniform Community Development Act of 1980”, Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, which sets forth the exclusive and uniform method for establishing a community development district, including termination, contraction, or expansion of a district.
