[00:24:56] First reading ordinance 2019-2148, permitted uses in a highway commercial zoning district. [00:25:02] Ordinance number 2019-2148, an ordinance of the City of New Port Richey, Florida, [00:25:07] amending section 7.09.01 of Chapter 7 of the Land Development Code [00:25:12] pertaining to permitted uses in a highway commercial zoning district, [00:25:15] providing for removal of hotels as it permitted use, [00:25:19] amending section 7.09.02 thereof pertaining to conditional uses in the highway commercial zoning district, [00:25:25] providing for addition of multifamily apartments and hotels as conditional uses, [00:25:30] providing for amendment of section 7.09.03 thereof pertaining to prohibited uses [00:25:35] in the highway commercial zoning district, [00:25:38] providing for prohibition of motels and transient residential lodging, [00:25:42] providing for amendment of section 2.01.00 definitions to add definitions for hotel, motel, and transient residential lodging, [00:25:50] providing for amendment of subparagraph B of subsection 1 of section 15.00.00 of chapter 15 [00:25:58] pertaining to general nuisances, [00:26:00] prohibiting outdoor storage of items at motels, hotels, and public accommodations, [00:26:05] providing for nonconforming transient residential lodging uses, [00:26:09] prohibiting all transient residential lodging in the highway commercial zoning district after December 31, 2021, [00:26:18] providing for severability, providing for codification, and providing an effective date. [00:26:24] Thank you. Ms. Manns, do we have a presentation on this? [00:26:27] Mr. Mayor, we don't have a formal presentation, but we do have some comments prepared for you. [00:26:33] This agenda item, as you know, was originally presented to you on January 2, 2019. [00:26:42] Since that time, several meetings were conducted with the owners of motels in the city [00:26:50] to discern what suggestions they might have for improving the ordinance. [00:26:58] And since that time, some changes have been made to the proposal that was originally presented to you. [00:27:06] In large part, though, this ordinance reduces motels to nonconforming uses within the highway commercial zoning district. [00:27:16] It allows hotels only as a conditional use. [00:27:22] The matter of transient residential lodging is something that we've spent a lot of time working on [00:27:30] since having discussion with the property owners, as we learned that a good number of exceptions [00:27:38] needed to be included in the calculation for transient residential lodging, [00:27:44] which we are recommending motels can only rent 25% of their available rooms for that purpose. [00:27:59] Transient residential lodging typically means someone that does not have another permanent address. [00:28:07] It also means people that are seasonal workers, people that are here to look for work, [00:28:17] and are seeking new employment, or people that are on a construction project. [00:28:23] Those are the type of exceptions that we built into the ordinance, [00:28:28] and we are indicating that if you stay more than 28 days and a 60-day period, [00:28:33] and one of those exceptions does not apply to you, then you are a part of the transient residential lodging, [00:28:41] and the owners of the motels cannot rent more than 25% of their rooms for that purpose. [00:28:51] The last part of the ordinance that I'd like to specifically introduce to you is that the effective date, [00:29:00] if you determine that it's appropriate to conduct your first reading and to approve the ordinance, [00:29:07] the grandfather provision will expire on April 1st, 2022. [00:29:13] So we've provided a three-year period of time to come into conformance with the standards as set forth in the ordinance. [00:29:22] Thank you. This is a public reading and public hearing. I'll open it up for public comment at this time. [00:29:29] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. [00:29:32] Move for approval. [00:29:34] Second. [00:29:35] To the maker. [00:29:36] Nothing more. We've discussed this. [00:29:37] To the second. Mr. Altman. [00:29:40] No. [00:29:41] This is first reading. If there are any objections or comments, we'll be able to hear them on second reading. [00:29:48] I think we need to do something to clean up the mess that has been on U.S. 19 and these motels morphing into... [00:30:00] Not even substandard housing units, it's just, we've got to clean that up. [00:30:07] So, if there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:30:12] Aye. [00:30:13] Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. [00:30:16] Next is first reading of Ordinance 2019-2159.

[00:30:19] This is Ordinance 2019-2159, an ordinance rezoning approximately .08 acres of property [00:30:26] generally located at 5838 Main Street from Office District to Downtown District, as further [00:30:32] described herein, and in Exhibit A, providing for an effective date. [00:30:36] Thank you. Ms. Manns? [00:30:37] Yes, Mr. Romagnoli has prepared a PowerPoint presentation of the matter before you. [00:30:46] Thank you, Ms. Manns. [00:30:47] This rezoning is to take this parcel right here, 5838 Main Street, which is right next [00:30:54] to the city parking lot of Main Street, which formerly was an office, and rezone it into downtown. [00:31:00] The owner of the property wants more discretion of whether doing office or retail on that site. [00:31:10] This is in consistency with our future land use map, which does indicate that parcels should be zoned as downtown. [00:31:19] The future land use designation is downtown, so the zoning of downtown is consistent with that. [00:31:27] There will be no further impacts from changing this zoning, so we recommend approval of this zoning change. [00:31:34] Thank you. Open it up for public comment. [00:31:37] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. [00:31:40] I move for approval. [00:31:41] Second. [00:31:42] To the maker. [00:31:43] No. [00:31:44] Second. [00:31:45] The property to the east of that is already zoned downtown, right? [00:31:51] It is. [00:31:52] So it's kind of like isolated in itself. [00:31:55] Right, and the parking lot is zoned office, too, though. [00:31:58] It's a city-owned parking lot, so it's kind of a hanger-on from a past zoning experience, but it would be consistent. [00:32:06] The whole area on that map mostly is future land use is downtown. [00:32:12] Okay, thank you. [00:32:13] Mr. Allman? [00:32:14] Yes, just as we picked these one at a time, I spoke to the owner of the old Dr. Hartzell's office [00:32:21] where the Main Street program had their offices a while back, [00:32:25] and they indicated to me that they also had to come in for a change of land use or zoning to downtown. [00:32:31] So I think it's been nearly a year since we've been talking about having a look at our future development and growth. [00:32:39] I don't know the next move, but it would appear to me that as I'm looking at that map, [00:32:46] I don't see why with our library being a key element of a downtown [00:32:51] and our downtown growing that I would hope to see that we would have an initiative that would look at a major review, [00:33:01] particularly on the bottom of that map, all of those east Missouri, east Nebraska, [00:33:06] some of those old houses in there would probably be really ripe for the expansion [00:33:13] that I understand people are interested in coming to our downtown. [00:33:17] Actually, Councilman Allman, the city manager and I have been discussing this quite a bit [00:33:22] about expanding the downtown zoning district and also the overlay district. [00:33:27] It's time to really look at that again. [00:33:29] Our overlay district is really a mishmash of parcel here and not parcel, parcel. [00:33:34] So squaring off the boundaries of downtown and expanding the overlay district makes a lot of sense, [00:33:39] and we do plan to bring this to the Council for its review. [00:33:42] Good. Very good. [00:33:44] Yeah, and I would echo Councilman Allman's point, [00:33:47] particularly the whole section of multifamily up on the north side of Main Street probably needs to revisit [00:33:53] because I don't believe any of it's being used for residential at this point. [00:33:56] It's all been set up for office. [00:34:01] So if there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye.

[00:34:06] Aye. [00:34:07] Opposed, like sign. [00:34:08] Motion passes. [00:34:09] Next is First Reading Ordinance 2019-2152. [00:34:13] Ordinance 2019-2152, an ordinance amending Ordinance 1795, [00:34:18] which rezoned property described as 7.70 plus or minus acres, [00:34:23] generally located on the northwest corner of Green Key Road and Manor Beach Road, [00:34:29] further described herein in Exhibit A, [00:34:31] amending the development standards as set forth for the planned development district providing for an effective date. [00:34:38] Ms. Manns. [00:34:39] Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor. [00:34:41] The name of the proposed development is Oyster Bayou Development Project, [00:34:47] and we've got the owners and applicants for this rezoning in attendance this evening. [00:34:53] I just want to clarify before we get started, is it the northeast or the northwest corner? [00:34:59] Green Key Road and Manor Beach. [00:35:02] Is the northwest corner. [00:35:03] Yes. [00:35:05] Okay, thank you. [00:35:06] And Mr. Romanoli has a PowerPoint presentation. [00:35:11] Thank you, Ms. Manns. [00:35:12] This proposal is for the Oyster Bayou PDD. [00:35:17] As you can see, it's located right here on Green Key Road. [00:35:22] This was originally came to use more than a decade ago as a townhouse development. [00:35:28] It was sold since then to new developers that are planning a change in the development. [00:35:33] Requirements of a PDD require that the portions, the land use portions of the development, be in the PDD ordinance. [00:35:42] In front of you in the proposal, you see some of the changes. [00:35:45] The biggest change is that it is going from a townhouse development to an elevated home. [00:35:51] It's in the flood zone, but it's going to be a community geared towards owners of recreational vehicles. [00:35:57] So the homes will be next to parking for the recreational vehicles that are there. [00:36:04] These are some aerial views of the development. [00:36:08] As you can see, it's also on the water, which makes it very nice for that community. [00:36:14] This is the site plan for it. [00:36:16] As you can see, the buildings, which are principally duplex-type buildings, will be there for the owners to have. [00:36:28] This will be an owner community. [00:36:30] One thing that will come back to you in the future is the plat of this. [00:36:33] This is not intended to be a timeshare or rental community. [00:36:37] It's intended to be ownership. [00:36:39] There will be single-family lots, or no lot line lots, I'm sorry, in this development for the owners to have. [00:36:49] The unit count is going up slightly from 62 units to 66 units. [00:36:54] There are some changes in the setbacks. [00:36:56] The front setback is being decreased from 30 feet to 25 feet. [00:37:01] The setback from 30 feet to 15 feet. [00:37:04] The height of the building is being reduced from 40 feet to 32 feet. [00:37:09] The landscape buffers are being increased generally from 5 feet on the east and west to 15 feet, 10 feet on the south. [00:37:18] And there will be three parking spaces per unit. [00:37:21] The wall that was originally contemplated for the townhouse community is being replaced by the buffer. [00:37:28] This is what the buildings will look like. [00:37:31] As you can see, they are elevated, but they'll be under the height limit. [00:37:36] Underneath will be storage. [00:37:38] The RVs will not be parked under the buildings. [00:37:40] They're not that high, so they'll be parked to the side. [00:37:48] In addition, I'd like to make sure that we note the fact that there are common amenities being programmed into this space, [00:37:57] and they will have a pool and waterfront access and a boat ramp and a clubhouse for use by the owners of property within the subdivision. [00:38:10] Okay, this is a public hearing. [00:38:12] Anyone who wishes to address counsel on this, please come forward. [00:38:20] John Cain, 6041 Florida Avenue. [00:38:24] I'm very familiar with this territory since it was a better part of my mail route for over 20 years [00:38:32] and delivered mail to the Deep Lagoon Trailer Park, as it was called. [00:38:39] I'm just curious as to, because we said recreation, a boat ramp. [00:38:44] As I remember, when it was prior going to be townhomes, [00:38:48] it was being promoted as a natural townhome setting where it was going to be kayaks and canoes. [00:38:57] The original developers had sent to the Army Corps of Engineers to evaluate. [00:39:04] They wanted to dredge Oyster, that part of, it's a little lagoon, Oyster Lagoon, and they did not get the okay to do that, [00:39:14] which, aside from the economic hardships of the time, also added to their leaving that particular project. [00:39:22] They lost their incentive, I guess. [00:39:25] But I'm just curious, is that going to be, is somebody going to reapply? [00:39:31] I don't think that they would, they didn't get it then. [00:39:33] They probably won't get it now. [00:39:35] And as I understand it, motor boats and that, because it is such an environmentally sensitive lagoon [00:39:42] with very rich oyster beds and all, I'm just curious. [00:39:48] Thank you. [00:39:50] Anyone else? [00:39:54] In that case, we'll close public comment. [00:39:57] George, do we know anything about the... [00:40:00] We don't know anything. [00:40:01] We didn't talk about the use of the lagoon at all in the development review process, [00:40:05] just that there would be access to the lagoon and docks there, [00:40:09] but we didn't talk about what type of boats would be used. [00:40:12] But if it's an oyster bed, I mean, a motor boat in that area would not be sufficient. [00:40:17] The developers are here. [00:40:19] Maybe they can comment on what they want to do with that in the future. [00:40:23] Having owned a number of motor boats, including all the way down to the john boat size, [00:40:27] I would never in my wildest nightmare try to go in there with a motor. [00:40:32] Given no-name storm height, the tide. [00:40:35] Yeah, no-name storm, yeah, we could get in then. [00:40:38] But it's pretty shallow in there. [00:40:42] I'll move for approval. [00:40:43] We have a motion. [00:40:44] Second. [00:40:45] And a second to the maker. [00:40:47] Just it looks like an interesting concept. [00:40:50] I didn't hear the square footage. [00:40:52] Do you have an idea what the square footage of the structures are proposed? [00:40:56] They're between 526 and 875. [00:41:01] So not exactly a tiny house, but put that together with the ‑‑ [00:41:05] and we have a motion on the floor already, so I'm not asking for commentary, [00:41:10] but it looks like we're going to get it. [00:41:15] Thank you. [00:41:16] If you have any questions, we'll ‑‑ [00:41:19] We have a motion on the floor, sir, so it comes to us up here. [00:41:25] So we have a second public hearing. [00:41:26] And it's for approval, so I wouldn't know why you would want to talk to us. [00:41:32] Okay. [00:41:33] Next time. [00:41:34] Thank you. [00:41:35] To the second. [00:41:36] Nothing. [00:41:37] Looking forward to it. [00:41:38] Mr. Murphy. [00:41:39] No, not this time. [00:41:41] Sounds like an interesting development. [00:41:43] Hopefully during public comment for the second reading you can come forward. [00:41:49] If there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:41:53] Aye. [00:41:54] Opposed? [00:41:55] Like sign. [00:41:56] Motion passes. [00:41:57] Next is a public hearing on the small cities community development block grant program

[00:42:03] for which the sign‑in sheet, I think, is still floating around. [00:42:08] Yeah, we'll make sure that Mr. Romanoli collects that before the end of the day. [00:42:14] Mr. Mayor, members of the city council, as you're aware, [00:42:17] the city is interested in applying to the small cities community development block grant program. [00:42:23] And in that respect, we are working with David Fox, who is about to step forward, [00:42:31] and we need to conduct a public hearing on the use of community development block grant funds [00:42:38] to ensure what we're doing is determining how the grant funds should be used. [00:42:44] There are three national objectives that the use of block grant funds must support, [00:42:51] and it's either to provide a direct benefit to low and moderate income people, [00:42:57] to address a particularly urgent community need, or to prevent slums or blight. [00:43:04] And we have a citizens advisory council that met earlier this evening, [00:43:11] and I'm going to let you take over, Mr. Fox, and talk a little bit about that. [00:43:15] Okay, I've got a presentation prepared for you. [00:43:18] This is a first public hearing for a 2018, that is correct, [00:43:22] community development block grant application. [00:43:26] They are due May 6th, the applications are. [00:43:30] The city is eligible to apply for up to $750,000 in CBD grant funds. [00:43:39] There are four main categories for this program. [00:43:42] The first is housing rehabilitation, where you go into owner-occupied, [00:43:46] low and moderate income households and you bring them up to code. [00:43:49] If they're in bad enough shape, you can even replace them under this grant. [00:43:52] The second category is commercial revitalization, where you go into a downtown area [00:43:57] and you can address streetscape, parking, those kind of items. [00:44:01] The third is neighborhood revitalization, where you go into a low to moderate income neighborhood [00:44:06] and you can address infrastructure needs, such as water lines or sewer lines. [00:44:10] In addition, you can also do water plant work and sewer plant work, [00:44:14] where 51% of the beneficiaries were low to moderate income. [00:44:20] You would determine that based on a random citywide survey. [00:44:25] Under categories one, two, and three, housing, commercial, and neighborhood, [00:44:28] you can only apply for one. [00:44:30] If funded, you can't reapply for one of those categories until that project is completed [00:44:34] and a closeout has been submitted to the state. [00:44:37] The fourth category is economic development. [00:44:40] That's where you can apply up to $1.5 million. [00:44:44] You'd have to have a developer on the board that would create jobs. [00:44:47] For every job created, you could apply for $34,199.99, [00:44:53] and at least 51% of the jobs must be low to moderate income. [00:44:56] Under that category, usually what you're going to do is provide infrastructure needs [00:45:00] line of the developer. Any questions on the four categories? No, from me. [00:45:10] Talking about low to moderate income benefit, this is just the income levels provided by HUD. [00:45:16] At least if you're doing a housing grant, all of the households addressed must fall under the 80 percent [00:45:21] area of medium income. An example of a family of four is $51,100. A family of eight is $67,500. [00:45:30] And you get additional points in the application if you have at least 30 percent of the beneficiaries [00:45:35] that fall under the extremely low category of 30 percent. [00:45:47] You get points in the application if you're competing with other small communities across the state of Florida [00:45:51] for these program funds. For each $2,000 of leverage you put toward the project, you get one point or up to 25 points [00:45:58] for $50,000. You can put additional funds in, but you just don't get additional points for it. [00:46:04] Under the neighborhood and commercial revitalization category, you can get up to 50 points or get 50 points [00:46:10] for being shovel ready, meaning when you submit your application, the design is completed, ready to go to bid. [00:46:16] And you will apply and have receipts for applying for all your permits. They don't have to be in hand, [00:46:20] but you have receipts for applying for them with the application. [00:46:24] If you go in shovel ready, you will not get reimbursed the cost for the design. [00:46:33] When applying for a CDBG application, there are five steps. [00:46:37] The first step is to appoint a citizen advisor in your task force, which you've done prior. [00:46:41] The second step is to advertise and hold a CETF meeting, which was held tonight. [00:46:46] And I will present to you what their recommendation is after the public hearing comments. [00:46:51] The third is advertise and hold a first public hearing, which we're doing now. [00:46:55] Advertise and hold a fair housing workshop, which will be held after this presentation. [00:47:01] And the fifth is once you've completed an application, a draft will be presented, [00:47:06] and you'll hold a second public hearing and get final comments. [00:47:12] Any questions on the presentation? [00:47:16] There is a sign-in sheet. I'll get the board and everybody to sign in as it goes around. [00:47:23] Get the mayor to open up for public comment. [00:47:25] We're going to open this up for public comment. Anyone wish to address council on this? [00:47:33] Seeing no one, come forward. I'm going to bring it back to council. [00:47:36] Ms. Manns, what action do we need to take on this? [00:47:38] We are going to consider the recommendation that the Citizens Advisory Council made earlier this evening [00:47:46] at a meeting which they conducted at 6 o'clock this evening. [00:47:50] And they recommended that we consider supporting housing rehabilitation [00:47:57] and replacement as a project for the next year. [00:48:04] Great. They recommended you move forward with applying for a housing rehabilitation grant. [00:48:09] Any motion? [00:48:11] Move for approval. [00:48:13] Second. [00:48:15] Let's get money. [00:48:17] Second. [00:48:18] Welcome the money. [00:48:22] Could we just have, while we're passing this down, [00:48:25] you again go over the definition of housing rehabilitation, what's allowable under that definition? [00:48:33] Yes, sir. Under the housing rehabilitation, you will address owner-occupied, [00:48:37] low- to moderate-income households. [00:48:39] You have to address all code violations, health and safety issues. [00:48:42] If the cost of repairs exceeds 50% of the value, then you actually have to replace the home. [00:48:47] If you address it, you can't repair it after that. [00:48:51] The way it works is you won't have any names up front. [00:48:55] If funded, you'll advertise, and you'll get submittal intake applications. [00:48:59] At that point, you'll have a ranking process in your housing assistance plan [00:49:03] that you'll approve as part of your second public hearing. [00:49:06] And based on that ranking process, your CATF, or Citizens Advisory Task Force, [00:49:11] will do a ranking of all applicants and submit them to the board for review and consideration. [00:49:16] On the rehabilitation, there's no new construction allowed? I'm sorry. [00:49:21] You have to do a one-for-one. [00:49:23] If you tear one down that's in bad shape, you have to replace it. [00:49:27] But they don't actually call it new construction because it has to be an owner-occupied home that you tear down. [00:49:31] And the owner that was in it is the one who reoccupies it? [00:49:35] They would be the applicant, and they would be the beneficiary in that case, yes. [00:49:40] They have to be in the city limits. [00:49:44] Any other questions? [00:49:47] Hearing none, we have a motion and a second. [00:49:50] All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. [00:49:53] Opposed, like sign. [00:49:55] Motion passes. [00:49:57] Next, we have a fair housing presentation.

Fair Housing Presentation
David Fox of Fred Fox Enterprise gave an informational PowerPoint presentation on the Fair Housing Act, covering its history, prohibited discriminatory practices, protected classes, exemptions, disability protections, and the HUD complaint process. The presentation was for informational purposes only and earned ten points in the city's CDBG application process; no action was required.

[00:49:59] Ms. Manns? [00:50:00] Yes, and Mr. Fox has prepared a PowerPoint presentation on this matter as well. [00:50:08] Once again, I'm David Fox with Fred Fox Enterprise. [00:50:11] This is a Fair Housing Equal Opportunity for All presentation. [00:50:14] This does give you ten points in your application process also and gives information to the public. [00:50:24] The Fair Housing Act was passed in 1968. [00:50:26] It was revised in 1988 and once again amended in 1995. [00:50:31] The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination due to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, and family status. [00:50:44] The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination and intimidation of people in their homes, apartments, [00:50:48] and condominium developments and nearly all housing transactions, [00:50:52] including the rental and sale of housing and revisions of mortgage loans. [00:51:00] The Act exempts owner-occupied buildings with no more than four units [00:51:04] and single-family housing sold or rented without the use of a broker. [00:51:08] There are senior housing exemptions provided under any state or federal program [00:51:14] and is intended for the sole occupancy of a person 55 or 62 years of age. [00:51:22] What is prohibited? [00:51:24] No one may take any of the following actions based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, [00:51:28] family status, or national origin. [00:51:30] Cannot refuse to rent or sell housing based on one of the categories. [00:51:33] Refuse to negotiate for housing. [00:51:36] Set different terms or conditions. [00:51:38] Falsely deny that housing is available for inspection when it is based on sale or rental. [00:51:44] Prohibit, persuade, or try to persuade homeowners to sell or rent dwellings [00:51:48] assenting that people of a particular race, age, sex, etc. have moved or are about to move into a neighborhood. [00:51:53] Deny any person's access to membership or participation in any organization, facility, [00:51:58] or service related to the sale or rental of dwellings, and that includes HOAs. [00:52:06] Housing protection for families with children is unlawful to discriminate against a person [00:52:10] whose household includes one or more children who are under 18 years of age. [00:52:14] That falls under the familiar status category, [00:52:17] which one or minor children live with a parent or legal custodian. [00:52:26] There are additional protections if you have a disability. [00:52:29] If you have a physical or mental disability, including hearing, mobility, or visual impairment, [00:52:33] cancer, chronic mental illness, or HIV, that essentially limits one or more major life activities [00:52:38] or are regarded as having such a disability, [00:52:41] a landlord may permit changes only if they agree to restore the property to its original condition when you move. [00:52:52] An example of that is a building with no pets has to allow a visually impaired tenant to have a guide dog. [00:52:58] However, the Fair Housing Act does not protect a person who is a direct threat to the health and safety of others [00:53:03] or is currently using illegal drugs. [00:53:07] If you have a complaint, there's a process you go through with HUD. [00:53:10] You'll submit your name and address, the name and address of the person your complaint is against, [00:53:15] the address of the other notification of the housing involved, [00:53:18] a short description of the alleged violation, and the date of the alleged violation. [00:53:28] Our local HUD office is out of Atlanta. [00:53:32] It is 40 Marietta Street, 16th Floor, Atlanta. [00:53:35] The easiest way to submit a complaint is actually to go through their website, HUD.gov backslash Fair Housing. [00:53:43] That's if you want to do it on the federal level. [00:53:46] What happens when you file a complaint? [00:53:49] They notify the person they're filing a complaint and the alleged violation. [00:53:52] The HUD as a department does an investigation of the complaint [00:53:55] in terms of whether or not there's a reasonable cause. [00:53:59] They notify you, the respondent, if HUD cannot complete its investigation within 100 days. [00:54:07] And during the complaint investigation, HUD is required to offer you and the respondent [00:54:10] the opportunity to voluntarily resolve your complaint with the conciliation agreement. [00:54:16] If you want to go through the state of Florida and not through HUD at the federal level, [00:54:19] they also have a website and a toll-free number. [00:54:22] You can contact them at the Florida Commission of Human Relations. [00:54:29] That is my presentation on Fair Housing. Are there any questions? [00:54:35] Thank you very much. [00:54:36] We'll open this up for public comment. [00:54:41] Seeing no one come forward. [00:54:43] Ms. Manns, do we have a specific thing to do? [00:54:46] We need to conduct the hearing. [00:54:49] Do we need to motion or anything? [00:54:51] It's just for informational purposes. [00:54:54] Very good. [00:54:55] Next item on the agenda is the board reappointment.

[00:54:59] Dana Souters to the Parks and Rec Advisory Board. [00:55:01] Yes, we have a very patient Mrs. Souters in the back row this evening. [00:55:08] And she has served on our Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for one term. [00:55:15] Her term elapsed on December 1st of 2018. [00:55:20] The recommendation before you this evening is to consider appointing Mrs. Souters for another three-year term, [00:55:27] which, if you determine it appropriate to do so, would span through March 5th, 2022.

[00:56:20] Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor. [00:56:22] The recommendation before you this evening is to accept a proposal from Granite in Liner LLC [00:56:30] in the amount of $201,700.80 for sanitary sewer gravity main rehabilitation. [00:56:42] And Mr. Rivera has prepared a PowerPoint presentation which will outline the scope of the project. [00:56:49] I actually don't have a PowerPoint presentation, but I will talk about it. [00:56:54] That's all right. [00:56:55] That's fine. [00:56:56] As you know, this is our annual program that we have that identifies our sanitary sewer defective pipes. [00:57:04] They either are cracked or they have joint damage to them. [00:57:08] This creates a situation where it allows roots to grow inside the pipes. [00:57:13] It allows groundwater intrusion as well. [00:57:17] This is different than regular standard construction as far as it doesn't tear up the ground [00:57:23] and it doesn't have accelerated costs with the restoration of the surrounding area. [00:57:30] In this case, you have a liner that goes inside whatever size pipe you have. [00:57:34] In this case, it's 8-inch clay pipe. [00:57:37] And you take and put that liner through the pipe. [00:57:40] You heat it up to a temperature to where that PVC will expand to the shape of the pipe, and you're done. [00:57:48] And it's not contingent on the structural integrity of the existing host pipe. [00:57:55] It's actually a standalone pipe. [00:57:57] And because it's a smaller size, you would think that maybe you lose some capacity. [00:58:01] It actually will help increase because your C-factor or the inside of the pipe is a little bit smoother than the actual clay. [00:58:10] For this project, we're going to install approximately 4,980 lineal feet of 8-inch, as I said. [00:58:17] And there's several different areas that we've identified. [00:58:21] I've attached a map to where you can see those areas. [00:58:24] And our funding source is out of the Water and Sewer Utility Revenue Account. [00:58:29] Thank you. [00:58:30] Open up for public comment. [00:58:33] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. [00:58:35] Move approval. [00:58:37] Second. [00:58:38] To the maker. [00:58:40] How much more clay pipe do we have? [00:58:41] Are we a lot that's unlined? [00:58:46] Yes. [00:58:48] So we're averaging about 200,000 a year.

[00:58:51] And, you know, every year our guys are going through the worst areas that we can identify. [00:58:57] Actually, one of the items that we will do is we'll actually go ahead and start TVing a lot of those lines that are under the next set of streets that are scheduled to be paved and get that stuff done before we start paving. [00:59:11] Thank you. [00:59:12] To the second. [00:59:13] Do you have a timeline of when they all might be completed? [00:59:16] Like how far out? [00:59:17] I don't, but I can get that information for you. [00:59:20] All right. [00:59:21] Thank you. [00:59:23] There's no further discussion. [00:59:24] All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:59:26] Aye. [00:59:27] Opposed, like sign. [00:59:28] Motion passes. [00:59:30] Next is wastewater treatment plant high-service pump replacement project. [00:59:36] Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor. [00:59:37] This is actually a three-part agenda item. [00:59:40] We are asking you to consider the purchase of two 6,000-gallon-per-minute high-service pumps from John Maeder Enterprises in the amount of $36,042.50. [00:59:56] We are additionally asking for two 6,000-gallon-per-minute high-service pumps from John Maeder Enterprises in the amount of $36,042.50. [01:00:00] to 300 horsepower motors to 300 horsepower variable frequency drives for the price of [01:00:10] $35,730 and $26,980. And I know Mr. Rivera has a PowerPoint presentation on this item. [01:00:21] Mr. Rivera. [01:00:22] Well, I've got a picture up here because I wanted to try to explain it to you. The total [01:00:27] cost of all three of those proposals would be at an amount not to exceed $98,752.50. [01:00:35] The first item, as Ms. Mance had talked about, was the two high service pumps, which in this [01:00:43] picture, these items right here are the service pumps. That's what moves the water. Your motors [01:00:52] are here. And, of course, they don't sell all of them together. You purchase them separately. [01:00:59] And so that's why you have three different proposals that we have here. And then, of [01:01:03] course, the variable frequency drive is actually an electrical brain that will... [01:01:08] Of course. [01:01:09] Huh? [01:01:10] I said of course. [01:01:11] Yeah. That will take in and identify the energy that's needed for those motors to operate [01:01:18] at 100% condition rate, depending on what the demand is that they operate. So, of course, [01:01:26] that would keep your operating costs down, electrical use down, and it would extend the [01:01:32] life of the pumps because the pump's not running at 100% at the time. In this case here, the [01:01:39] wastewater treatment plant was designed for five of those pump and motor apparatuses. [01:01:47] Initially, there were three of them that were installed. Those pumps are 21 years old and [01:01:52] are reaching their useful life. Staff is proposing to purchase the two additional motors, which [01:01:59] are larger. They have a large capacity and the whole nine yards to where we can install [01:02:07] those. The plant was made for that. And then as the other three start to go offline, we [01:02:13] take and replace those, and we still have our two to keep that redundancy that we have. [01:02:19] And, of course, when it's all said and done, we'll have five of them installed. The other [01:02:25] three will be replaced as they go down. And then it will hopefully help us from... It'll [01:02:31] lower the potential for the wastewater treatment plant to have those discharges that we talk [01:02:35] about because we'll be able to meet the demand of our reclaimed customers as well as we'll [01:02:41] be able to push this water into the county system because there's a lot of head pressure. [01:02:48] You can imagine they're experiencing the same problem we are, trying to move the reclaimed [01:02:52] water over to the east side of the county, and we've got to get into that system. So [01:02:57] this gives us a little more horsepower. We could keep repairing these, but there comes [01:03:04] a point... If you'll notice, the one pump that's right here is a different color than [01:03:09] the rest of these. We just replaced the seal on that, and that was $6,000. So there comes [01:03:16] a point in time where your repairs get more and more, and you just return an investment [01:03:20] just isn't there. And so that's where we're at. And, of course, just to let you know too, [01:03:27] the county owns 40%, so they'll be taking care of 40% of this total cost. [01:03:33] Very good. Open it up for public comment. Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. [01:03:39] Move for approval. Second. [01:03:41] To the maker? No. Nothing. [01:03:43] To the second? No. No jokes. [01:03:47] Nothing. [01:03:49] Yeah, I think I'll make no jokes too, so. [01:03:54] If there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. [01:04:00] Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. Next, Fire Station 1, roof replacement project. Mrs. Manns.

[01:04:07] The agenda item relates to the replacement of the roof at Fire Station 1. The proposal [01:04:16] that the city staff is recommending that you consider is from Signature Roofing Corporation. [01:04:24] The amount associated with the removal and the replacement of the existing roof is $32,650. [01:04:35] We are asking that an owner's contingency be established in the amount of $5,000. Therefore, [01:04:44] the described scope of work represents an investment of $37,650, and Mr. Rivera has [01:04:52] some photos for you to share about the current condition of the roof. [01:05:07] I just wanted to give you a little bit of background. The fire station, it's Fire Station [01:05:13] 1. Twenty-three years ago, it had an extensive remodeling. Back in 2008, it had a remodeling [01:05:21] of the C-roof performed to where they actually went into the underbelly and did a lot of [01:05:28] framework. I got a call from the fire chief to come take a look at it. There's quite a [01:05:36] few leaks that they're experiencing. When we got up there, I discovered that we had [01:05:41] multiple leaks, extensive granular loss, numerous patches had already been made, and a lot of [01:05:49] those previous repairs had failures to them. There was material uplifting, deteriorated [01:05:56] sealant membrane. I just wanted to make note that the building is occupied 24 hours a day, [01:06:04] seven days a week with our fire personnel. After we walked the roof, it was apparent [01:06:10] that the immediate replacement of this roof needed to be performed. [01:06:16] What we wanted to do was give you a view of some of the effects that we saw in this roof [01:06:22] here. Of course, right here you can see the uplifting of a lot of the areas. You can see [01:06:30] the extensive granular loss. Here's where the sealant areas have separated. [01:06:38] You can see here where there was previous repairs, where they failed, and again where [01:06:48] the material meets. This was a previous repair. It just goes on and on. We went inside the [01:06:56] building. You can see some of the areas where some of the leaks have come through, sleeping [01:07:04] quarters. Some of the areas such as this and the next couple slides have been painted over [01:07:12] and, of course, started to leak again. You can see all right in here, it's starting [01:07:20] to come out. Again, you've got all up in here. Of course, once we get the roof fixed, we'll [01:07:28] have to go inside and start doing some interior repairs. It's hard to see from this picture, [01:07:34] but this is in the Bay Area. You've got some staining that's coming on up along here where [01:07:40] there's some leaking. Again, some of the areas have been painted over and started to leak [01:07:48] and some up here. It's the same bay door. We've got some extensive damage here. Our [01:07:56] recommendation is for you to give us the approval to go ahead and get this roof replaced. As [01:08:02] Ms. Mann said, the total not exceed price would be $37,650, and that would include an [01:08:09] owner's contingency payment of $1,000, and that would include an owner's contingency [01:08:15] payment of $1,000, and that would include an owner's contingency payment of $1,000. [01:08:20] The total not exceed price would be $37,650, and that would include an owner's contingency [01:08:26] just in case we ran into something that's unforeseen. The funding source is Penny for [01:08:32] Pasco. It was not an approved budget item. It's not in your CIP document, but we were [01:08:38] able to identify the funds that we'll be presenting to you with the street project that we just [01:08:44] completed and a deductive change order. [01:08:47] I'm sorry. I didn't talk to you this afternoon, and there's been a modification to that original [01:08:54] proposal, and let me just start by saying we typically wouldn't allow any of our public [01:09:01] facilities to erode to this level of despair or disrepair, I should say, and one of the [01:09:07] reasons that we haven't addressed it sooner is because we've had lots of discussion about [01:09:15] what the future of the fire service building is and fire service in general in the city, [01:09:22] and we've discussed whether or not we need one station or two stations, and if so, where [01:09:28] is it best situated, and that's the only reason that it hasn't been tended to up to this point [01:09:36] though now has reached a point where it must be addressed by way of stewardship to the [01:09:44] building as well as to the men and women that live there. [01:09:49] So we very much want to do it, and we started to look to identify a funding source because [01:09:58] quite obviously since we weren't planning to do it, we did not program it in the capital [01:10:04] budget, and what we're recommending to you this evening is that we take $50,000 or near [01:10:12] $37,650 out of our public library project funding source from our capital budget and [01:10:23] transfer it to the fire station project. [01:10:28] We have $230,000 appropriated in the library budget. [01:10:33] It's not at all likely that we will spend near that amount before the end of the fiscal year, [01:10:40] so we feel completely comfortable taking the money from that funding source, and if you [01:10:46] determine that it's appropriate to do so, we're requesting that you make the transfer part of your motion. [01:10:51] I'm going to open this up for public comment. [01:10:58] Seeing no one coming forward. [01:11:03] I'll move approval with the transfer as described by the city manager. [01:11:08] Second. [01:11:13] To the maker. [01:11:18] I think it does bring up the point that we need to try to see, I don't know if we're able to speed it up or not, [01:11:27] but see what we're going to do for a new fire station or what we're doing, because there could be other things [01:11:33] that come up, too. [01:11:38] We may be putting money into a building that may not even be there or we don't know yet. [01:11:43] I just assume the firemen and firewomen get to take showers when they want to, not when it rains. [01:11:50] I have long wondered how we can have over 5,000 years of recorded history [01:11:55] and still can't figure out how to make a flat roof that stays watertight for more than a few years. [01:12:02] It seems to be the nature of the beast. [01:12:07] The one comment I would have is assuming that we get somewhere down the road shortly on a replacement [01:12:13] fire station, I would suspect the library is going to want first dibs on that existing building. [01:12:20] Taking it out of some of the library improvement funds actually does have some logic to it. [01:12:27] There's no further discussion. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. [01:12:32] Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. [01:12:38] Good evening, Mayor and Council.

Three Minute Report: Technology Solutions
The Technology Solutions director gave a three-minute report covering recent and ongoing IT projects: LED sign installation at the library, new wireless APs at the Recreation and Aquatic Center, a wireless site survey of Sims Park and downtown to support future Wi-Fi for cameras and Main Street functions, social media archiving, new Datrium storage arrays, core switch and firewall replacements, in-car routers for police vehicles to support body cams, a mobile device management solution, and ongoing Tyler Technologies utilities work. No action was taken.

[01:12:46] Over the last several months, Technology Solutions has been engaged in several projects. [01:12:51] On the public-facing side, we have the LED sign that we work with Optech to install and configure in front of the library. [01:13:00] At our Recreation and Aquatic Center, we deployed new APs allowing for wireless access from the pool deck, [01:13:06] fitness room, and the palm room. [01:13:11] This is not the best picture, but we conducted a wireless survey during the month of February of Sims Park and the downtown corridor, [01:13:18] depicting in this picture APs and where they would be placed to support a wireless network. [01:13:25] That network would in turn support functions such as cameras, downtown Main Street, [01:13:31] or music being played throughout downtown, or several other functions. [01:13:37] Right now, we're in the process of scoping that solution, [01:13:42] but we had to get this survey completed in order to advance that. [01:13:47] The social media came up in our mock council meeting attended by Gulf Middle School. [01:13:53] I wanted to bring this up just because we added the archiving in addition to the social media. [01:14:00] Again, not depicted very good in this photo, [01:14:05] but this is off the Recreation and Aquatic Center's Facebook. [01:14:10] This item was added originally and then modified twice, [01:14:15] so all three records of this particular item as it's been modified or retained and available if we need to pull that up. [01:14:22] We installed and configured new servers for Public Works, [01:14:27] to work with Public Works to migrate their data to that location. [01:14:32] Our new Datrium storage arrays that were ordered in January have arrived, [01:14:37] and we are getting ready to rack mount those. I'm still waiting on some switches, [01:14:42] but we are very much anticipating getting those up and running within the next 30 days. [01:14:47] Once those are up and configured, we'll start migrating our virtual servers to that environment for the Police Department and City Hall. [01:14:52] We are also working with vendors to look at replacing our core switches in our primary facilities. [01:15:00] and move some of our firewall rules to a new firewall [01:15:04] in the Recreation and Aquatic Center. [01:15:06] We had a new data connection installed in that area [01:15:09] and that'll improve network performance [01:15:11] and increase efficiencies. [01:15:14] We have hardware in route for the police department [01:15:17] to start testing in-car routers. [01:15:20] These routers will be put in the vehicles [01:15:23] and be utilized to create a wireless network [01:15:26] from within the car. [01:15:27] So it's gonna boost the AP signal from the vehicle itself. [01:15:31] It's gonna establish a better communication [01:15:33] for the officer back to the station. [01:15:35] And that allows for additional technology [01:15:37] such as body cams and things like that to be put in place. [01:15:41] If the officer's walking away from the vehicle, [01:15:43] they'll wirelessly sync back to the vehicle [01:15:46] and provide that communication. [01:15:49] And then we're working to scope our mobile device solution [01:15:54] right now with three different vendors. [01:15:56] That's gonna be for cell phones, Apple or iPads, [01:16:00] the laptops. [01:16:02] It allows us to enhance security, [01:16:04] deploy software to all the devices [01:16:06] and maintain the operating systems. [01:16:10] And then we continue to work with Tyler Technologies [01:16:12] on utilities. [01:16:15] Right now we're working on InterGov [01:16:19] and work orders with Public Works. [01:16:23] And that is all I have for you this evening. [01:16:25] I will not be in attendance at our next council meeting. [01:16:27] So if there are any technology questions, [01:16:29] please pass them to the city manager [01:16:31] and I'll answer them when I return. [01:16:32] I'm going overseas. [01:16:34] Very good. [01:16:35] Any questions? [01:16:36] I was wondering if the lieutenant [01:16:37] from the police department could reiterate what he said. [01:16:42] I don't believe I speak his language. [01:16:44] Chopper, just so you know, [01:16:45] there was five seconds left. [01:16:51] On a scary note, [01:16:52] I understood most of what he was saying. [01:16:56] We are now to communications and reports. [01:16:58] City attorney, did you have anything
