[00:07:04] Ms. Manns, I understand this is the one that raises the monthly rent to $2,000 a week? [00:07:10] $3,000. [00:07:11] Go ahead. [00:07:13] I wish I could report that to you, Mr. Mayor. [00:07:17] But the West Pasco Chamber of Commerce has been a tenant to the city since 1971. [00:07:25] We entered into a lease agreement in 2017. [00:07:29] The lease agreement allows us to extend the term of the lease. [00:07:34] And we've decided to pass along an incremental bump in their rent payment. [00:07:41] The current rent payment is $400 a month. [00:07:45] We are recommending a $50 increase so that the new rent will be $450 a month. [00:07:52] All other provisions as set forth in the lease agreement stand and remain unchanged. [00:08:00] And we are recommending that you consider approving the second amendment to the lease with West Pasco Chamber of Commerce. [00:08:09] Thank you. [00:08:10] Open it up for public comment. [00:08:21] Good evening. [00:08:22] Chip Wickmanowski, President, West Pasco Chamber of Commerce. [00:08:25] 5443 Main Street. [00:08:27] It's my pleasure to be here this evening. [00:08:29] Yes, we started a lease with you all back in 1971. [00:08:32] The Chamber of Commerce built that building and gave it to the city. [00:08:36] And the city put it on their property. [00:08:38] It was a beautiful establishment and a beautiful arrangement, a beautiful partnership. [00:08:42] However, I will tell you that the rent has gone up 45,000 percent since that day because it was $1 a month back then was the lease. [00:08:50] But having said that, we're very happy. [00:08:53] The partnership that we have, the working together that occurs, the collaboration that we have with the city is essential to the success of not only the city of New Port Richey, but also the West Pasco community. [00:09:06] And so we're very happy as a board on behalf of them to say thank you for the opportunity to continue this lease. [00:09:12] We're very happy to make that incremental change part of our budget, and we look forward to a continued relationship with the city of New Port Richey. [00:09:20] Thank you. [00:09:21] Thank you. [00:09:22] Anyone else? [00:09:24] Seeing no one else come forward, bring it back to council. [00:09:27] Move for approval. [00:09:28] Second. [00:09:29] We have a motion and a second to the maker. [00:09:31] Nothing. [00:09:32] To the second? [00:09:33] No, sir. [00:09:34] Deputy Mayor? [00:09:36] Mr. Murphy? [00:09:37] Likewise, I don't either, but Mr. Wickmanowski, you have a very happy retirement. [00:09:42] I understand that's coming up fairly quickly. [00:09:45] Just one second. [00:09:46] He's counting the hours. [00:09:48] He's got the countdown. [00:09:49] Three days, 21 hours, 50 minutes, and four seconds. [00:09:53] But who's counting? [00:09:54] If there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:09:58] Aye. [00:09:59] Opposed, like sign. [00:10:00] I'd like to say something here about the chamber. [00:10:02] Yes, please. [00:10:04] There's some discussion on the street. [00:10:06] They're possibly putting one of those digital signs like we have at the rec center on that property [00:10:12] where we could identify activities in the community. [00:10:15] So I'd just like to bring that up to my brothers here. [00:10:18] You know, we can thumb the lady down at the right here to take a look at that. [00:10:24] Duly thumbed. [00:10:27] Thank you, Councilman Davis. [00:10:29] The next item on the agenda is the land use agreement between the City of New Port Richey and Patrick McCauley.

Land Use Agreement between the City of New Port Richey and Patrick Moccaldi
approvedCouncil approved a land use agreement between the City and Patrick Moccaldi, who purchased a small parcel at 7229 Grand Boulevard that is too small for a principal use, to allow him to construct a private boat lift and dock. Staff reported the abutting property owner had no objections, and council members noted the situation was unusual but suggested it may prompt a broader review of city zoning codes.

[00:10:34] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. [00:10:35] Patrick McCauley and his wife Mary Ann purchased property at 7229 Grand Boulevard [00:10:41] for the purpose of constructing a boat lift and a dock for their private use. [00:10:48] The property in and of itself is zoned residential, [00:10:54] but it's not large enough to accommodate a principal use on the property, only accessory uses. [00:11:02] And that is the reason that this item is before you this evening. [00:11:07] I have talked to the abutting property owner and advised her of the terms of the land use agreement [00:11:16] that is being proposed to enable Mr. McCauley to use his property for his intended purpose. [00:11:23] I've been told that there's no objections to his proposed use of the property. [00:11:29] Therefore, I'm recommending to you that you approve the land use agreement between the City and the McCauley [00:11:38] so that he can go forward with his plans to use the property. [00:11:42] Very good. Open this up for public comment. [00:11:45] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. [00:11:47] Move for approval. [00:11:48] Second. [00:11:49] We have a motion and a second to the maker. [00:11:51] I am 100 percent allowing mooring lots in our city or waterfront community, [00:11:54] and I couldn't believe we didn't allow it when this man brought this to my attention. [00:11:58] To the second. [00:12:00] Now I just kind of have a question, I guess. [00:12:03] Is this very common as far as buying those small parcels in front of the homes on over-road? [00:12:10] According to my research, it's very uncommon. [00:12:13] We don't have very many of these, so this is a pretty unique situation. [00:12:17] Okay. [00:12:20] Yeah, just on a procedural question here. [00:12:24] The comment is made in the memo, and just for the record, I was contacted by Wendy Brenner. [00:12:31] I don't know if she's a neighbor or the next-door neighbor or close who talked about it, [00:12:35] who indicated also to me that she didn't have a problem with a dock per se. [00:12:40] There had been talk about a ramp or some excavation and some concerns about how many trees [00:12:44] or what the site would look like from my reading of this discussion. [00:12:48] There would be – this would not become a blight to the adjacent property owner. [00:12:53] So to the comment, the property, as I understood it, was purchased with the allowances that existed under the code, [00:13:04] which would not allow for a dock unless there was adjacent property. [00:13:07] So under the sort of buyer beware, this is not a situation where we should – [00:13:12] I think we should have an enormous amount of sympathy for purchasing something inexpensively [00:13:18] and then coming and saying, I can't use it. [00:13:20] So there are – I know of another individual, in fact, I think on Madison, [00:13:25] who has a piece of property who is limited by the side setbacks [00:13:30] and all the other issues from being able to develop it. [00:13:33] So I guess my question is – one question and one comment before we vote. [00:13:39] So the first question relates to our code. [00:13:43] If our code doesn't allow this, I guess if it's unusual and we don't expect it to ever happen again, [00:13:48] then that's one thing. [00:13:50] If it is, as Councilman to my left is suggesting, common or not, [00:14:00] maybe we should look at the language of the ordinance. [00:14:04] As the maker indicated, he didn't believe – the comment that you made that it should be allowed [00:14:11] or you didn't think that it would be right for us not to allow somebody to put a dock on that property [00:14:18] sort of might reflect that we should look at our city's codes and ordinances [00:14:24] and make a determination of whether we should change it [00:14:26] so we don't have to have land use agreements, [00:14:31] which maybe aren't the same as the allowances to be there for other people [00:14:36] to make sure this is not a special favor type of circumstance. [00:14:41] So I'll support the motion. [00:14:44] But the second part of it has to do with a recent meeting we had where land use was a topic, [00:14:51] and that, again, was the meeting I attended with Mr. Starkey [00:14:55] talking about the city's codes and restrictions. [00:15:00] setbacks and other things. So I think this is something that will come back to [00:15:03] the city. I imagine that those discussions are going to be headed our [00:15:07] way from what I heard at that meeting about looking at liberalizing, for lack [00:15:12] of a better word, the potential for properties throughout the city. So I'll [00:15:20] be curious to see where all of this leads. I'm not generally in favor of not [00:15:26] following the rules, but in this case that's it's unusual. I'll support the [00:15:30] motion. Thank you. Councilman Davis. Nothing. Yeah, this this seemed to be a [00:15:38] one-off. It does beg the the larger question on how we do zoning and [00:15:45] planning in the city of New Port Richey. That's part of what's been going on in [00:15:49] the discussions with the talk about town and the reason that the last meeting [00:15:54] which was last Monday night a week ago and then the next one should be this [00:16:01] coming Monday. We're both publicly noticed that some of us might be there [00:16:07] because it is an interesting discussion about the the question to what extent do [00:16:13] our current do do our current rules create impediments to the sort of [00:16:20] improvements that I think all of us would like to see in New Port Richey. So [00:16:24] I do fully expect that that will come before council at some point. So that [00:16:30] being said, this this seemed like a real odd situation, if you will, a one-off and [00:16:36] so I have no problem supporting it as well. And I would point out for the [00:16:40] record that the properties that are adjacent to this property, some of those [00:16:46] lots extend across Grand Boulevard into to the up to the river and this is [00:16:52] unique in that a couple of those lots over next to this property do not have [00:16:57] that same characteristic. So they're separate parcels. So it does create kind [00:17:01] of a unique situation there. There's no further discussion. All those in favor [00:17:06] please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. Next, quarterly

Quarterly Cash & Investment Performance Report

[00:17:12] cash investment performance report. Ms. Mance. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Crystal Feast [00:17:18] is prepared this evening to present this cash report to you as of March 31st, 2018. [00:17:28] Good evening. Tonight you're being asked to approve the city's investment [00:17:36] performance report as of March 31st, 2018. I've prepared a short presentation that [00:17:44] will summarize the report that you received in your agenda packet. So what's [00:17:56] up here is the same information that is in your investment report. I apologize [00:18:01] for the small font. But this first slide does just summarize or provides a [00:18:07] summary of the city's cash and investments as of March 31st, 2018. You'll [00:18:14] see that in checking the city had right over four million dollars at March 31st [00:18:22] and then the three investment tools that the city did invest in are the three [00:18:31] items that make up the city's portfolio totaled right over 17 million. The first [00:18:40] investment is the State Board of Administration, our Florida Prime, and [00:18:45] you'll see that there's roughly about 7.5 million dollars in that investment [00:18:49] tool at March 31st. The next is the Florida Municipal Investment Trust, which [00:18:56] had right at 4.7 million. I do want to point out that these two investments are [00:19:03] local government investment pools, our trust pools, and they're operated by the [00:19:10] state of Florida and under Florida statutes. And so they do present very [00:19:15] conservative investments as it relates to risk. And the last investment that [00:19:22] makes up the portfolio for the city is U.S. Treasury obligations, which are in [00:19:26] essence Treasury bills issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury. And [00:19:33] this is also another conservative investment. And at March 31st, there was [00:19:39] roughly 5.4 million dollars invested in this type. I do want to point out the [00:19:47] last column of this table, our slide, you'll see that it totals $56,442, which [00:19:57] is the income earned on these investments for the quarter. The next [00:20:04] slide, which is a little bit bigger, you can see it better, basically provides the [00:20:10] same information as the previous slide, just as a pie chart. But it does provide [00:20:15] you with the portfolio composition. You'll see that the amount in [00:20:22] checking made up 19% of the portfolio, the Florida prime investment made up 35%, [00:20:29] the Florida Municipal Investment Trust made up 21%, and the U.S. Treasury [00:20:35] obligations made up 25%. So pretty evenly distributed. And this composition does [00:20:41] comply with the city's investment policy. And the last slide provides a [00:20:49] change from prior quarter. In total, there was a decrease of $405,000, which is [00:20:58] directly related to the fluctuation in the checking account. Of course, we use [00:21:03] the checking account to pay for purchases, services, and payroll. So we [00:21:07] would expect, you know, a fluctuation there. The investments, as you can see, [00:21:15] all three increased from the last quarter, which is what we expect in [00:21:20] our investment portfolio. And that is all I have. There are any questions? [00:21:26] Thank you. Open up for public comment. Seeing none, bring it back to Council. Questions? Just a [00:21:32] comment, I guess, that a lot of our revenue comes in on a monthly basis, but [00:21:37] certainly one of the larger revenue sources, property taxes, a big chunk comes [00:21:41] in in November, December. And so when you talk about the balance and the drawdown [00:21:47] in checking, there's really no significance to the city's economic [00:21:51] position because it's drawn down. It might be a function of variable revenue. [00:21:57] That is correct. The report that was presented last quarter did show a [00:22:04] significant increase from the previous quarter for that very reason, because it [00:22:08] included the period of time where we collected a lot of our property taxes. [00:22:12] And so the balance in that checking account is definitely driven by, you know, [00:22:17] the revenue sources that we receive during that quarter. And then, of course, [00:22:21] also what we pay out. Thank you. Any other questions or comments? Entertain a [00:22:28] motion for approval. Second. We have a motion and a second. To the maker? Nothing. Second. [00:22:34] Councilman Murphy? No. In that case, all those in favor, please signify by saying [00:22:40] aye. Aye. Opposed, like sign. Motion passes.

[00:22:51] purchase of two portable police batteries with radar batteries and [00:22:57] accessories. The units are manufactured by Harris Network Service Providers as a [00:23:04] sole source provider. The reason that this expenditure is being presented to [00:23:10] you this evening is a result of the fact that we are proposing to use [00:23:14] unclaimed evidence monies to support the expenditure. The radios will be used as [00:23:20] backup radios to replace those that are damaged or failed or in the event of [00:23:27] emergencies when we need additional radios. And Lieutenant Anderson said he'd [00:23:34] be pleased to answer any questions that you may have. Very good. We'll open it up for [00:23:39] public comment. Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. [00:23:43] Questions? Anyone? We have a motion. Second. A second to the maker. Can you teach us [00:23:50] how to use the radios right now? He's going to teach you how to use the tasers next. [00:23:54] Yeah, that's right. Second. Councilman? Deputy Mayor? No comment. In that case, all those in [00:24:08] favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. Next is a [00:24:14] request to purchase tasers. Two tasers, Mr. Mayor, in the amount of $2,990, also [00:24:22] from a sole source provider, Axon Enterprises, and the funding being [00:24:31] proposed to support the expenditure is also unclaimed evidence monies. We are [00:24:36] recommending that you approve the purchase. [00:24:41] Any public comment? Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. Move for [00:24:47] approval. Second. We have a motion and a second to the maker. I don't want to... [00:24:51] Whatever Jeff said, I don't want... I don't have anything to do with it. Councilman, you had the second? I'll keep it zipped on this one.

[00:25:01] Councilman Murphy? Good, thanks. Deputy Mayor? No comments, thank you. And so long as we're not demonstrating those on us, we're cool. Enjoy. [00:25:11] If there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. [00:25:16] Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. Next is the three-minute report from the [00:25:21] Finance Department. So my three-minute report will be short and sweet because [00:25:28] over the past few months, the Finance Department has been consumed with two [00:25:32] items, the Tyler Technology Software Implementation and the Fiscal Year 17 [00:25:37] audit. As Mr. Weed mentioned in his three-minute report last City Council [00:25:43] meeting, Finance and Technology Solutions worked on implementing and [00:25:49] going live with the payroll module of Tyler, and we're currently working on [00:25:54] implementing InterGov and the utility billing module. And that includes [00:26:01] obviously other departments as well. Development Department is involved in [00:26:05] the InterGov implementation as well. And then additionally, starting next week, [00:26:11] we'll have auditors back on site to start the second phase of the [00:26:15] audit, and they'll be with us through June until we complete it. Got any

[00:26:21] questions? Do you have any timelines on Tyler? Since you gave us timelines on the [00:26:26] audit. We can definitely provide something. I want to defer to Mr. Weed [00:26:33] to give the specifics on dates, if that's okay. Yeah, I could provide that [00:26:38] information and coordinate with the City Manager so she could disseminate [00:26:41] out to you. That would, I'd have to coordinate with the Tyler Project [00:26:45] Manager as well so that we can find out a couple dates. But we should be [00:26:49] getting close to the end, time-wise, probably over the proposed guidelines [00:26:55] that we got when we started Tyler. All right, thank you. Any other questions? [00:27:00] Thank you very much. We are now to Communications and Reports. Councilman [00:27:04] Murphy. I just want to bring up one thing that a constituent brought up to [00:27:11] me. There's a restaurant just south of Gulf Drive on Grand, and I guess we [00:27:17] have an egret problem out there. They're doing their business on their nice [00:27:21] patio, and there's an actual stand built on top of the pole for a [00:27:27] net with a nest on top. So if you go by there and look at it, it's pretty bad. [00:27:31] And he built this nice little patio with chairs, and the birds have just [00:27:35] desecrated it. So obviously he wants to see about trying to get something done [00:27:40] to maybe move the pole or something. I don't know if it's a federal issue, but I [00:27:44] think the City Manager is going to look into that. [00:27:49] Murphy has already conveyed this problem to me. I, in turn, have had discussion with Mr. Rivera, who has [00:27:57] been in contact with the utility company who is responsible for the [00:28:02] installation of these stands, and we have asked that it be moved. And Mr. Rivera, do [00:28:10] you have a more up-to-date, do you have a response from Duke yet? Duke Energy is [00:28:15] talking with their environmental division to find out exactly what they [00:28:19] can do under the FWC guidelines, and then they're going to get back with us. So
