Alayna Nicholson 214 Weeping Elm Lane, stated she was a

said he was a five (5) time record holder, nine (9) time Florida

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) top sixteen (16),
two (2) time NCAA top five (5), three (3) time NCAA Champion

trials, Mr. Forbes would not only be representing the CFA and
Lyman, but also Longwood and the rest of Central Florida. She
said this was an amazing accomplishment, and they need to
support him in every way they can. She said their goal was to raise
awareness and financial support for Longwood's Olympic hopeful.
She stated when Mr. Forbes makes the team; he would put
CC 06 -18- 12/162
Longwood on the map. She said help them help him on his quest
for gold.
Commissioner Durso asked Ms. Nicholson if there was a formal

awareness in Central Florida and Longwood that one of their own
was going to the Olympic Trials and had a good shot of making the
team, and any donations would be appreciated.
Mayor Sackett said there had to be a close number amount and
asked how far he was away from that magical number.

$2,000.
Commissioner Durso moved to approve $500 to help Mr.
Forbes reach his $2,000. Seconded by Deputy Mayor
Bundy.
Commissioner Durso congratulated Mr. Forbes and wished him

him.
Mr. Forbes thanked everyone.
Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Mayor Sackett told Mr. Forbes to get with the City Administrator,
Mr. Williams tomorrow to get this all coordinated.
Commissioner Cortes said another thing he requested was
awareness of this, and suggested a picture be taken with the

Photographs were then taken of the Commission with Mr. Forbes.

Joanne Rebello 301 Loch Lomond, said,she was getting all excited
about Mr. Alex Forbes, and getting the awareness out for him and
trying to get the business community behind it. She asked if there
was any way they could get one (1) of the printers in the City to
maybe do the picture of the Commission with Mr. Forbes and put
it on a banner that states, "Lyman graduate qualifies for the
Olympic Trials and put it somewhere to get the awareness out.
Mayor Sackett said let's try it.
Commissioner'Cortes asked if there was a website they could
direct people to if they wanted to make a donation.

)<f. REGULAR BUSINESS.
A. Approve the City Administrator to accept the Department of
Homeland Security (gD]H[S) /l± ederal Emergency Management
Agency (FiJMA) Staffing for Adequate Fire Emergency
Response (SAFER) Grant for 2012, if the formal award
notification is received prior to the next regular City
Commission Meeting.
Commissioner Durso moved to approve Item 1 I as
presented. Seconded by Commissioner Coi-tes.
Commissioner Maingot noted this was presented to them years
ago. He said it was well and good to take on additional personnel
at the Federal expense and be able to carry them for $806,000 for
two (2) years. He said at the end of that, the City had to carry the
complete burden and noted that was where the problem lies. He
said because it would be very hard to tell them that they were only
here for two (2) years and this was why it was rejected before. He
said he did not intend to support it tonight because they were
artificially imposing on the City an additional burden. He said
they have been operating the Fire Department for over thirteen (13)
years and they have since added one (1) or two (2) staff members
during that interim. He said the case has not really been made, and
if it was, they do not know what the financial future holds for
them. He said while it was nice to have this grant given to them,
they have to look at what was going to be the long term effects.
He asked do they really need those additional people and do they
CC 06 -18- 12/166
need to take on an additional $500,000 worth of increased
expenditure, on the citizens through their taxes. He said he did not
support that.
Chief Gulbrandsen said according to National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 17 -10, they were not staffed adequately. He
said the name of the grant was Staffing for Adequate Fire and
Emergency Response (SAFER). He said the fact that the City's
grant has reached this level of favorable review indicates that the
Federal Government and the Department of Homeland Security
agrees with his study and the former Fire Chief, that they do not
meet the current minimum staffing of four (4) people per engine.
He said that was an NFPA standard that went into effect since the
last time that this may have been reviewed by this Commission.
He noted the cost for the first year with benefits was estimated to
be $369,000 and additional costs that were included in the grant
include insurance, disability, accident and death, the required
payment and workers compensation. He said he understands the
Commissioner's concern, and hope they were looking at a more
favorable economy within two (2) years. He said they were
looking at the Transit Oriented Development (TOD), and increased
rail traffic, and hopefully increased revenues with redevelopment
in that area. He said he met with the City Administrator, and they
would like to drastically overhaul some of the internal personnel
policies regarding overtime. He said they believe within two (2)
years, they could save a good bit from the overtime because they
have shared things that they cannot share, due to the fact they were
in negotiation right now with the Union.
Commissioner Maingot said he did not wish to disrespect anyone,
but the Federal Government's main focus was expanding the
numbers of people depending upon the Federal Government. He
said they have to look and determine what they have and how does
it serve the people. He said they have to deal with the funds that
they have. He said he liked what was said in terms of possible
savings, but that was nowhere near being realized at this point in
time. He said he would be remiss if he were to bring on board
additional financial burden for the people of this City, unless it was
absolutely necessary. He stated he had yet to be convinced of that.
He said they have been operating the Fire Department for over
thirteen (13) years and only have added on four (4) additional
people. He said it had not been brought to their attention before .
that they were understaffed. He said they have to work with what
they have and within the budget, and within what revenue was
generated from the people within the City. He said for you to say,
"we hope the next two (2) years" — they do not know that. He said
that bankruptcy was right around the coiner from them if they
continue on the Federal point of view where they were going
CC 06 -18- 12/167
today. He said caution was the best value to adopt, and this was
why he was saying he knows he has to come on board and wants to
make sure things were fine, but at the same time, he cannot see
taking on that additional burden. He said two (2) years will go by
and they would have all sorts of reasons why they should continue
to have this additional staff employed. He said he does not think
that was right and feels it was not right for the people of the City.
Commissioner Durso said he was going to read from the Agenda
Packet this evening and he wanted the Chief to confirm what he
reads was correct before he makes any statements or asks any
questions. He read fiom the Agenda Item the following statement:
"...the City would be reimbursed on a quarterly basis for salary
and benefits for these six (6) positions for twenty -four (24) months
after their hiring date, to a maximum of $906,000. After that time,
the City would be one hundred (100 %) percent responsible for the
cost to keep these positions, however, there is no penalty should
that not be fiscally feasible." He said if they add these six (6)
positions even if it was for two (2) years, and if they cannot afford
to keep them, there was no penalty, correct.
Chief Gulbrandsen responded in the affimative.
Commissioner Durso said his concern with not approving this
grant was that they were facing a dramatic increase in usage. He
said they just had a meeting in regard to SunRail that said there
would be an additional 4,300 trips per day coming out of
Longwood on SunRail. He said there were currently 60,000
people that flow through this City in one way, shape or form. He
said that was car accidents, heart attacks and all the fun things that
happen that emergency medical services (EMS) had to respond to.
He noted the City has thirty -six (36) firefighters.
Chief Gulbrandsen said there were eleven (11) on duty,, which
included the Shift Chief, at one time.
Commissioner Durso said there are eleven (11) on duty at any
given time with 60,000 people flowing through the City, and they
were about to expand their usage by 4,300 trips assumed per day.
He said even if they cut that by two or three-quarters to about an
additional one thousand (1,000) trips per day that was an additional
thirty thousand (30,000) people coming through the City of
Longwood every month. He stated to not supplement, even if they
camiot afford to on the back end, to not take this grant now and
help prepare for the coming year, at least take advantage of it while
they can and to make that decision when the time comes as
opposed to blindly turning two (2) years of increased staffing, he
thinks would be a really poor mistake because there was going to
CC 06 -19- 1'2/169
be increased crime, there was going to be increased EMS needs
because there were going to be a greater number of people flowing
through Longwood. He said to assume they can continue to
balance that burden or demand on the same number of people
decade after decade was not reasonable. He said he would be the
first to tell you he was not a big fan of big government. He said he
would just as soon cut a whole bunch of stuff that they were doing,
but in this rare instance, one of the actual things that government
was meant to do by Constitutional law, was to provide for public
safety. He said for them to turn their back on this particular
instance, he thinks was a bad decision, so he wholeheartedly
supports it.
Deputy Mayor Bundy asked the Chief if there was any cost to the
City for the first two (2) years.
Chief Gulbrandsen stated the uniforms and equipment would be a
cost to the City. He said the cost was approximately $1,400 per
person for a complete set of uniforms, and $2,750 for a complete
set of protective equipment.
Deputy Mayor Bundy asked the Chief if he was prepared in two
(2) years' time if the Commission says they were not going to fund
those positions, to look those six (6) people in the eye and say they
have to go.
Chief Gulbrandsen responded in the affirmative. He said they
have met with the Human Resources Manager and discussed that
clause that says this was a grant - funded position, and there was no
guarantee of employment after two (2) years, or even during those
two (2) years. He said they may not pass probation, and he had
that conversation with Ms. Broadway.
Deputy Mayor Bundy asked the City Administrator if they could
put these positions as a separate item in the budget to have them
reflected as a separate item from the personnel costs in the Fire
Department.
Mr. Williams said it was a matter of creating some additional line
items.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said that was not a hard thing or illegal to
separate that out. He asked if it could be noted in the Union
contract that they consider these temporary employees for the first
two (2) years until if the Commission decides to roll them into a
permanent position.
CC 06 -18- 12/169
Mr. Williams said they could insert some language and propose
some language, and obviously, that was going to require the Union
acknowledging it and accepting it on that other half, but from the
City's perspective, they would certainly propose this.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said he did not want two (2) years from now
if the economy was not better, and if they cannot afford it and they
would have to cut them out, he does not want problems from the
Union coming in and saying they were cutting six (6) positions.
He said he wanted it clear that those six (6) positions were
temporarily funded not through the City, but another source and
inquired if that would be feasible.
Mr. Williams said he thought it would be, and as the Chief alluded
earlier, they met before this Item was prepared to come to the
Commission for this consideration, and a very strong emphasis was
placed on when the jobs were advertised, it was clearly noted this
was a grant funded position and funding available for two (2)
years, and the disclaimers were out there.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said they would acknowledge that when
they were hired it would be in writing. He said he wanted the City
to be covered, and no problems with the Union should they not do
it.
Mayor Sackett noted he was a union member because he works
with the government through the schools. He said when he came
here as a school principal, he signed contracts and he understood
he would be let go every year, and he was let go every year,
because it was tight budget money. He was a union member, but
had no union rights. He said he was sure it could be written in
their contracts.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said he has no problems with capital
expenditures because those are one and done. He said they really
have to convince him to add personnel because not only do they
cost money this year, they cost more money next year and the next
year. He said he was concerned about the additional trips, but he
said he was going to support this with the caveats.
Chief Guibrandsen said they have to report their expenses to the
Federal Government if they were approved. He noted they would
have to be maintained as a separate line item from the other
incumbent employees.
Commissioner Cortes said he sees this as a great opportunity to try
to get a handle on the budget projections for overtime. He said
they may find a way of reducing expenses and coming to fruition
CC 06 -18- 12/170
in two (2) years whether they have the money to move forward by
reduction, where they were right now, and now they have more
staff. He said the other thing was that he had seen what firemen go
through, and the unpredictability of disasters and 911 calls and
sometimes they get overwhelmed. He said by having those six (6)
for the next two (2) years gives them a great opportunity to try to
find how they can make it work and hopefully save some money
too.
Commissioner Maingot said he was glad the Chief presented his
budget to the Administrator, so he asked for overtime projections.
Chief Gulbrandsen said he did not think they could disclose that at
this point due to the open negotiations with the Union.
Mr. Williams said the Chief prepares the operating side of the
house for the Fire Department, and Finance was working on the
wages and benefits side of the house, so they were evaluating
historical trends, and the Chief did touch base on that a while ago
they were looking at some strategies to propose to try to address
some of those concerns, and they were not at liberty to get into that
discussion at this time.
Commissioner Maingot said the argument was presented in terms
of the increased numbers of people and noted that could also apply
to the Police Department. He said there was a double whammy in
this discussion and asked were they prepared to deal with that.
Mr. Williams said the Chief and he have had some preliminary
discussions regarding his submittal of his budget. He said he can
tell you he has submitted and requested for additional staffing. He
said all of that was driven by the expected increase in the number
of people flowing through the City as a result of SuaRail. He said
if those positions were,not funded this year, at some point they
have to get them on board and trained and get the necessary
equipment, and that time was rapidly approaching for the City. He
said there was going to be a definite additional need. He said not
only in public safety, they were looking all across the board. He
said there would be an additional need for administrative people
that were going to come as a result of this. He noted there would
be an additional need for Public Works staff, Leisure Services,
everything that SunRail touches and that the passengers potentially
touch; there would be needs that were driven by that.
Mayor Sackett said which makes for an exciting and challenging
time.
CC 06 -1 5- 12/171
y
Commissioner Maingot said about two (2) or three (3) years ago,
they initiated an additional charge on those who do not live within
the City causing accidents in the City. He asked whatever became
of that.
Mr. Williams said that was deemed unconstitutional, and cities
were no longer permitted to do that.
Commissioner Durso asked about the grant and any expectation or
word that they may continue it after the fact.
Chief Gulbrandsen said he did not have a crystal ball on the
political aspects of the government. He said in the past, they
actually did have a five (5) year plan and explained the five (5)
year plan in detail. He stated depending on the election outcome
this November, there may be an extension. He said this year's plan
with the two (2) years of one hundred (100 %) percent funding, and
he echoes what Commissioner Maingot said, it was offered as a
safety net and that was how it was presented to them, the Florida
Chiefs,, when they met. He said the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) had several work shops throughout
the State on this. He said they were not a panacea, this was a
safety net to get the City by, and in the future, he has learned
Longwood has great expectations and good redevelopment plans.
He said this staffing would only bring them up to minimum levels.
He said he also wanted to comment on the structure fire recently.
He said the single- family structure fire was an all hands fire for
them. He said it went to a alarm very quickly because all
of their units were tied up at that scene and noted that was eleven
(11) people. He said he was on the scene within fifteen (15)
minutes because he has just recently moved close by. He stated he
became the twelfth (12 person and NFPA requirements for a
single- family structure fire were fourteen (14). He said that brings
them to that minimum. He said although it looks like six (6)
firefighters, and it was on the budget, it is one (1) firefighter per
station per shift. He said it would just bring them to the minimum
of NFPA requirement for a single- family house fire.
Commissioner Durso said he wanted to be clear on this that the
expected need was coming, and they have made a very big deal
about SunRail in the City. He said there was no way they were
going to be able to deal with the new infrastructure and the sheer
number of people, whether they get off here or were going through
here, without some kind of expanded base of resources. He stated
people could debate this, but he said he could tell them now that
more and more cases throughout the SunRail cities, they were
preparing now for what will come. He said what he did not want
them to do, was to get two (2) years into the SunRail thing, have
CC 06 -10- 12/172
their response rates or times for Police and Fire go through the
roof, and have to answer to the constituents about why they did not
take steps earlier, and why they did not take advantage of things
like a grant for two (2) years with no penalties attached to it, so
that was why he was supporting this. He said he agrees with
Commissioner Maingot in many respects, but he also recognizes
with the coming of SunRail, they do not have much of a choice and
have committed to do this, and they have to do it right now.
Chief Gulbrandsen said he agrees, and noted he was sensitive to all
the feelings on the Commission but said, let him add the
redevelopment and development plans he had seen since being
here about nine (9) months, and Ms. Bower's and the Building
Official, Mr. Bob Pike's multi- story, multi -use, and multi - family
jurisdictions adds to the complexity of their business. He said a
single - family, single - residence house fire absorbed all the
resources they could throw at it as the City of Longwood Fire
Department. He said they have three (3) story buildings, attached
condominiums, studios over 'industrial and commercial on the first
floor that adds to the complexity of their business, and he said he
would be remiss if he did not advise them on that.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said this was the thing he had been saying
all along to staff, that as tight as things were, he would qualify as
the number one car salesman in the region if they convince him to
spend money that was not directly related to Sur1Rail. He said this
was something that directly relates to it. He said they probably
would not see much of the impact for eighteen (18) months to two
(2) years of SunRail because it was scheduled to start running in
May 2014, so hopefully some of the development would occur and
were already being planned prior to that. He said if they choose at
that time to fund these positions, they would be :hiring firefighters
with two (2) years' experience that have learned the system and
know the way they do things, and they do not have to take six (6)
months to get them up to speed and gain institutional familiarity,
so he was going to support this, with the caveat that if they cannot
afford it in two (2) years, they cannot afford it.
Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
12. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S OR' S REPORT.
Mr. Williams said he placed a copy of Ordinance No. 10 -1947 for each
Member of the Commission as a result of Commissioner Cortes bringing
to staff's attention that there was a scrivener's error in the original
Ordinance that was codified. He said scrivener's error directly relates to
the political signs and a specific motion was made by Deputy Mayor
Bundy to move to eliminate the size designation in the parentheses and go
CC 06 -.18- 12/173
with six (6) square foot residential and sixteen (16) square feet non-
residential per face, seconded by Commissioner Sackett and carried by a
unanimous roll call vote. He said the Ordinance that was codified only
contained a partial recording as the sixteen (16) square feet non - residential
limit was not included in the final Ordinance. He said Ms. Bower and he
had several conversations with the City Clerk and the City Attorney, who
advised him that as long as they bring forth this Ordinance and correct the
scrivener's error, the Mayor can go ahead and execute it, and they can
recodify and move forward.
Mayor Sackett asked the Attorney what they should be looking for tonight.
Mr. Langley said the Administrator was just bring_ ing it to your attention
and they did not need a vote of the Commission. He said this Ordinance
had already been adopted in 2010 and they were merely correcting it. He
said they were asking the Mayor, the City Cleric, and the City Attorney to
execute it. He said one thing he noticed was that the copy on the dais did
not have the red line, black line underlining, and that Ordinance needed to
have that because it shows what was being amended. He said he wanted
to make sure the copy that gets executed has that underlining.
Mr. Williams stated that occurred because of being frugal, and they did
not want to waste any ink.
Commissioner Durso asked the Attorney the reason they were discussing
this tonight was because the intent of the Commission was passed out of
here, but was not worked into the final document, and he just wanted to
confirm they were all in agreement.
Mr. Langley responded in the affirmative. He said the motion was pretty
clear in the Minutes, and for some reason the final version did not
incorporate the motion had a specific limitation, and they were just
bringing it to their attention and asking the Mayor to sign the revised
