Lockridge, 7233 Brightwaters Court, New Port Richey, Florida, gave a presentation on the company. He explained the options available for the City and how they fade out, as another ad phases in, with no movement or scrolling. He said it is a static sign that comes up for eight (8) seconds at a time, except for the City's portal, which is for twelve (12) seconds at a time. He said digital signs do more than display advertisements and how they provide an array of communication possibilities, from crime fighting alerts to weather advisories. He said they are more flexible than other media's. He explained there is a switch to override in case of a malfunction. He said his company adheres to all state requirements for outdoor advertising and they fall under the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requirements and part of the 1965 Beautification Act. He said the Amber Alert is a major plus for communities and will take over the sign for a 24 hour period. He said if they have not apprehended the culprit, it is up to that City and a partnership with the company to determine if they would like to keep the Amber Alert going. He explained that the signs are free to the community and cost the company anywhere from $85,000 up to $125,000, depending on the CC 07-21-14/2 landscaping and size. He said to meet that debt service, the only logical way that can happen is that they have the ability for the local business community to be able to advertise on those available spots. He said the City will get their own portal with seven (7) slots and one (1) of those slots is designated to the City. He explained anything related to adult -oriented type businesses and political agendas would not be on the signs. This is in their operating agreement with the City. He said there have been many studies that show that digital signs with moving parts do not cause accidents. He said in the workshop that was held with staff. it was agreed on four (4) signs placed around the City, and then one (1) sign would be for the City only, making a total of five (5) signs. Discussion ensued regarding the guidelines for defining adult entertainment, how the placement of the advertisement is determined, how quickly and who controls the changing of the sign, along with the selection of the sign placement.

He said the scope of the work will be to clean up the entire front and rear yard, remove all brush, dead limbs, plants, dead trees, and re -sod the yard. He said he has indicated the City is not willing to negotiate on fine reductions unless or until the property is completely cleaned up and brought into compliance. CC 07-21-14/3 Deputy Mayor Durso said he has had some comments from residents �--� about a few issues with parking at the Hour Glass Brewery which is causing traffic issues off Maine Avenue. He said the second issue is the neighborhood is dark and the street lights are not very strong. He said the area where the Hour Glass Brewery is located, along with the area the cars are parked on Maine, you don't see them until you are on top of them. He asked the City Administrator to reach out to Duke Energy to see if they can do something about the lighting. He said he also wanted to talk about MetroPlan and some things that are happening. At the last meeting, there was a presentation of the 2019/2020 through 2039/2040 prioritized Project List. He said this is a long range transportation plan, and happy to report the changes to State Road 434 at County Road 427, and from County Road 427 to Rangeline Road, specifically the intersections and then the ektension, have both been bumped up to number two (#2) on the priority list. He said they have been funded at $10 million and $14 million respectively. He said that covers the P & E, the right-of-way, and the construction. He said regarding Bike and Pedestrian, they have two (2) projects on there that are not as highly ranked, but are on the list. There is, a Bike & Ped Plan at Church and Grant,, and another at. Church and Warren. They are funded at $210,000 and $270,000 respectively.

He said they have been run around by the FlexBus project, as well as, the other cities. He asked Mr. Williams and staff to get together with LYNX and MetroPlan to find out -about that $7 million dollars, because they have the four (4) cities and LYNX listed as recipients. He said there is a candidate project at State Road 434 and County Road 427, adding the dual left and right turn lanes. He said that is not authorized yet, but is on the candidate project list and is for $_15 million dollars and covers the P & E, right-of-way, and construction. District #3.

He said they unveiled the street sign in front of La Prensa, which was renamed to Manual A. Toro Court. He said he attended the Leadership Seminole Board on Friday. He said Class 24 is already sold out and all their sponsors are returning. He asked if anyone knew the results of the SunRail Meeting from that morning regarding the nights and weekends service schedule. Deputy Mayor Durso said they are working with Congressmen Mica to push for more money through the federal budget, and he thinks they are working with the State Department of Transportation (DOT) to coordinate CC 07-21-14/4 and draw down some funds to expand'it because there has been a big push among the cities requesting that. Ms. Bower said they want to move forward but have to figure out the whole funding aspect and no decision was made. District 44. Commissioner Weller said lie attended the Longwood Car Show on July 12t' and despite the rain, it was well attended. He met with the Skylark Neighborhood Watch Group at Raven Park this past Tuesday, and they are currently changing out the water lines and appear to be happy with it. He said there were some complaints about the quality and wanted the City to be aware of that. He said another issue they are having is with the Park itself. There are no permanent picnic tables and he hopes they will get some there soon. He said during the budget sessions he thinks the City should consider allocating some money to the Park to try to get it functioning and used on a daily basis. He said the La Prensa. event was a very good event, and Longwood should be proud to have a company like that in their City. District #5. Commissioner Sackett said he was at the Trust Co Bank ribbon cutting event and it is wonderful to see a company come back home. He asked about National Night Out and what date has been set for it. Mr. Capizzi said they are currently wrapping up preparations for National. Night Out. He said Winn Dixie will be supplying all of the hot dogs and condiments, as well as, the water for the event. He said they have more business vendors this year than in the past. The annual Police/Fire Softball game will also occur. He said the event will be Tuesday, August 5t' from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The softball game will be at 7:00 p.m. and there will be a rock climbing wall and bounce houses also. Commissioner Sackett asked about the summer camp program. Mr. Capizzi said it was going very well and the kids seem to be very happy. Cormnissioni r Sackett asked about the Pickle Ball courts and how many are being put in. Mr. Capizzi answered they are looking at two (2) courts right now. Commissioner Sackett mentioned mosquito control and he is getting complaints. He said he knows the County took it over, but wants to know what the procedure is to deal with it. Mr. Williams said anytime they receive complaints, they forward them to the County for their action. CC 07-21-14/5 Commissioner Sackett said he talked with the coach of Lyman Volleyball, who is looking for .15,000 square feet of space. He said he 'understands there is a well -sourced person coming in from Tampa looking to put a major Volleyball facility near Lyman High School; so they are going.to look at doing a joint venture for that. Commissioner Sackett asked about a Paintball facility that wants to come to Longwood. He asked if they are just talking or is a community meeting going to be set up soon. Ms. Bower said the zoning is not a recommended use, so they have submitted a partial application to change the map, and they are still waiting for certain fees and documentation before they -can schedule it for a public hearing. If those items come in before Wednesday, they will move forward to schedule it for the Land Planning Agency (LPA) Meeting on August 13t'. Commissioner Sackett asked the City Clerk about the time involved in doing Proclamations. Ms. Longo said time wise, it depends on how much research has to be done on a particular topic. Commissioner Sackett asked how they are keeping people informed on updates on State Road 434; He said it is supposed to go for 710 days, and they are 600 days into this project. Mr. Williams said regarding any concrete information, it is posted on the City's website. He said the torrential rains they are getting on almost a daily basis, the construction activities can be impacted because they are starting to do some major underground utilities, so they have some major de -watering taking place. He said they will continue to inform through the website. Commissioner Sackett mentioned he has seen residents/businesses blowing the grass cuttings into the streets towards the drains instead of back onto their lawns. Mr. Williams said they can provide the Commission with some information on what to do and not to do, so if they see that activity, they can hand it out. He said he would get with the Police Chief to see if they can utilize the COP Program for this also. CC 07-21-14/6 District #1. Commissioner Maingot said he had received phone calls regarding mosquito control also, and contacted the City Clerk who then referred them to Mr. Smith in Public Works. Mr. Smith said they called the County and placed a work order, and right now they are completely booked. with 'complaints because of all the rain they have had. He said they will get to them within a week. Commissioner Maingot said he was told they were going to maintain their own system as a backup. He feels they should get this system up and running again with their own equipment. He said they cannot rely on the County. He stated he drove past Woodlands and saw nine (9) workers doing curb work, but only three (3) were working. Commissioner Sackett asked if they maintained that equipment, or is it gone. Mr. Smith said he would verify, when they moved, they got rid of a lot of equipment. Commissioner Maingot said he hopes they did not get rid of it because they were guaranteed that the equipment would be maintained and held on to. He said he would like to hear from Mr. Williams that they still have it, and the licensing does not take much to get re -certified. Mayor Cortes said he noticed in the budget about paying the County for these services. Commissioner Sackett said it was ten (10) years ago, and the arrangement was that the County would take it over completely, and that they would hold on to their equipment as a back-up. This is what they pay in their County Property Taxes. Commissioner Maingot said he would like Mr. Williams to get back to them and let them know what the status is so they can advise on what corrective actions have been taken. Mr. Williams said they can certainly do that, and to remind everybody, if the equipment has been disposed of, they will be meetirig on July 29t' to go over the proposed budget. Commissioner Maingot said regarding National Night Out, it was organized mainly as home security. He said the entertainment is incidental. Its intent is for parents and their children, to be aware and updated on all the techniques and what to look for regarding their home CC 07-21-14/7 security. He asked who owns the property where the Paintball Operation is interested in. Ms. Bower said it is a firm called VPJ Investments. Commissioner Maingot said that is one of the last remaining pieces of land consisting of many acres for real development paralleling State Road 434. He said they have to look to the future and where they have property for investors to go to. He said he would not support that sale for paintball. He thanked their Police Chief and City Administrator for installing the reflectors on the low median at the turn into Winn Dixie and gas station on Rangeline Road. 8.

Read by title only, set August 4, 2614 as the second public hearing date, and approve the first reading and first public hearing of Ordinance No. 14-2038. CC 07-21-14/8 Mr.:Langley read Ordinance No. 14-2038 by title only. Mayor Cortes opened the public hearing. No one spoke in favor or in opposition of Ordinance No. 14-2038. Deputy Mayor Durso moved to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Sackett and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Deputy Mayor Durso moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 14-2038, and set August 4, 2014 as the second public hearing date. Seconded by Commissioner Maingot. Commissioner Sackett said this, was dealt with quite intensively two ,years ago, and it .was a unanimous vote to accept the sign ordinance, specifically, the $400. He said he likes all the parts except the first part, which is to remove the specific fees for political signs. He stated he would rather keep those the price they are to guarantee that they are cleaning those things up. He said we are more expensive than anybody else, but for $25 non-refundable fee for signs six (6) feet square and under $100 fees for failing to remove campaign signs within seven (7) days after an election, let the City clean them up. He said the last time he ran and he put up 600 signs, he was thankful someone stole them because it takes a long time to get rid of those signs: He said they approved this two years ago, and he would rather keep that part the same. He said he does like the sandwich sign and all the other parts added to it, but because of the first part, he will vote no. Mayor Cortes said they did receive a lot of complaints from candidates, both County and Judicial. He said the judicial candidates mostly fund their campaigns themselves. The other part is that: other candidates were complaining that when they have the. $400 fee up front, and the $300 refundable, that is $300 they cannot use in their campaign and returned after the campaign process was over, so the $300 had to be donated or given away. He said they were the only ones that had such a restriction on it. He said Casselberry has no sign ordinance, no fee, Altamonte: Springs has $125, with $100 refundable. He made the suggestion to Mr. Williams and Chief Hickson if someone wants to use just small signs, they pay a flat. $25 fee. He said the downside is if they leave the signs, they will have to come back and pick them up or be fined $100 within seven (7) days. He said for the larger signs, it: would be $100. This was a suggestion to be more in line with the other cities and the County. CC 07-21-14/9 Commissioner Sackett asked the City Clerk if a lot of judicial signs are up, and if all those people paid their $400. Ms. Longo replied that they had. Commissioner Sackett asked if there were any complaints of being excessive. Ms. Longo replied that she did not hear that from any of them. Commissioner Sackett said they had this lengthy discussion two years ago, and it was unanimous to set it the way it was. Motion carried by a four -one (4-1) roll call vote with Commissioner Sackett voting nay. 11. REGULAR BUSINESS A. Read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 14-1354, a budget amendment for Palmetto Avenue Sewer Project. Mr. Langley read Resolution No. 14-1354 by title only. Deputy Mayor Durso moved to approve Resolution No. 14- 1354 as presented. Seconded by Commissioner Maingot and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. B. Read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 14-1355, an IRS compliant 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan. Mr. Langley read Resolution No. 14-1355 by title only. Deputy Mayor Durso moved to approve Resolution No. 14- 1355 as presented. Seconded by Commissioner Sackett. Deputy Mayor Durso asked Mr. Williams if this was something that brings them into compliance with the IRS, and there are no other specific changes to the Deferred Compensation Plan. Mr. Williams said there are no other specific changes. Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote. C. Read by title only, set August 4, 2014 as the public hearing date, and approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 14-2040, which readopts Chapter 74, "Storm water Management" of the Longwood City Code. Mr. Langley read Ordinance No. 14-2040 by title only. CC 07-21-14/10 [IN, Deputy Mayor Durso moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 14-2040 and set August 4, 2014 as the public hearing date. Seconded by Commissioner M:aingot. Commissioner Sackett: brought up concerns regarding the sunset of the stormwater assessment. Commissioner Maingot said he feels people in their City are aware and understand the need for the assessment. He suggested putting something in the water bill. Deputy Mayor Durso agreed with Commissioner Maingot's comments in that there are a number -of areas in their City that facie, these challenges. He stated his area of the City is one of the low- lying areas, so when it rains for days in a row, he has a number of complaints about flooding. He said in addition to the current problems they have in existing areas, with new development, and the development they are trying to bring, the infrastructure costs are that much greater than they were ten years ago. He stated for them to solve these problems they are facing, he thinks this is a very worthwhile product they need to move forward with. Commissioner Sackett said he agrees, but thinks :it is something that should be in their general budget instead of special assessment within their water bill. Commissioner Weller asked how is it handled with subdivisions with private roads and maintained by the Homeowners' Association. Mr. Williams said it is not necessarily the roads, it is a storm water conveyance system that sheds the water from the private subdivision into an overall master storm water system. He stated he prepared an aerial map of the basins, which can be shown, not only the City's, but the County's basins and DOT'S basins and shows how they all interact together in moving this water during hurricanes and heavy rain events. Mayor- Cortes said in the future they will be dealing with the EPA and nutrient reduction. He said this keeps this money dedicated to the stone water issues only. He said the stormwater fee per home is $6.00, or $6.00 per EDU on commercial property. He said most: of this increase for CPIs will be borne by the commercial. businesses because of the property size and some have ponds on that property. He does not have a problem with the stormwater fee, but does have a problem with the structure of the CPI. CC 07-21-14/11 Commissioner Maingot asked how much did the Devonshire project cost with the pollution from runoff of fertilizer. Mr. Williams said that project was recently completed and came in at $161,000 or so. He said the TOD project is looking at probably $650,000 and the Industrial Park project is around $650,000 plus. He said those are capital projects that do not include the annual and ongoing maintenance. He went through different stormwater projects in the past and for the future. He said there is certainly a need and an ongoing maintenance need. Mayor Cortes stated he could make a motion to amend to continue the stormwater without a CPI right now until there is a better calculation on the CPI. Seconded by Commissioner Maingot. Mr. Langley said what they need to do is bring the Ordinance back for another first reading because the title includes the CPI adjustment. He said they would bring it back without the CPI in the Ordinance for another first reading. Mayor Cortes asked if he withdraws his motion, can they adjust it without the CPI. Mr. Langley said if they are deleting the entire CPI adjustment, they are not just modifying the way it is worded because they delete it. He said because of the way the Ordinance is set up, they would need to bring it back and go through the first reading. He - said they could'amend the verbiage to change the methodology of how it is calculated, but to delete it in its entirety and not do a CPI; they would need to bring it back. Deputy Mayor Durso said for clarification, the CPI change won't take effect until October 1, 2015, so it will be for the next Fiscal Year. Mr. Williams said that is correct, and it looks at the time period from June lst through May 31st of the preceding year. Deputy Mayor Durso said if it isn't going to affect anything until October of the next Fiscal Year, then over the next year, they could work toward a solution regarding the formula to get it for October 1, 2015. Mr. Williams replied they could. Deputy Mayor Durso asked if removing the CPI would throw off the budget process. CC 07-21-14/12 I._ Mr. Williams said they have revenues budgeted based upon the current fee that they would be presenting in the nex. t two weeks. Mr. Langley said it has not been advertised so there has been no cost to the City. Deputy Mayor Durso said for clarity, there was a motion made, and then a second, and Mayor Cortes was amending the original motion to withdraw the CPI from the document, and Commissioner Maingot seconded that. Mr. Langley said the motion as amended would not have a second reading on. August 40'. It would be to do the first reading on August 4"' with a new title and without the CPI adjustment. Mayor Cortes moved to amend and not have a second reading on August 4, 2014 and have the t-u-st reading on August 4, 2014 with a new title and without the CPI adjustment. Seconded by Commissioner Maingot and carried by a unanimous roll call vote. Original motion passed by a four -one (4-1) roll call vote with Commissioner Sackett voting nay. D. City Commission to consider allowing pets in Reiter Park. Mr. Capizzi stated that Leisure Services has been approached by some residents asking to allow dogs in Reiter Park. He said he asked Human Resources about liability, and they checked with PRM who said there were no liability in allowing leashed animals that are under human control. He said they would have to have signage that would state "No Aggressive Animals and All Animals must be leashed and Under Human Control At All Times". He said there would be no ball throwing or Frisbee throwing with the animals, and pet owners must clean up after their pet. He said they would have to install the dog waste stations similar to what they have in the Dog Park. The City would reserve the right to ban pets during certain City -sponsored events. He noted beside the Dog Park, dogs are not allowed in any City park. Commissioner Maingot: said if they move forward with this, he suggested that it would be a provisional thing because there are people who do not clean up after their pets. This is why they have a dog park. He wants this to be on a trial basis because of the tentative problems he foresees. Commissioner Maingot moved that the signage for Reiter Park incorporates a statement that this is provisional and CC 07-21-14/13 any infringement on these rules and regulations will automatically cancel the privilege to allow dogs in Reiter Park. Seconded by Deputy Mayor Durso. Discussion ensued on the pros and cons of allowing dogs in Reiter Park, along with how to address enforcement and the time frame for a trial period. Deputy Mayor Durso said the motion was to allow for a provisional program for ninety days to allow dogs in Reiter Park, but not in areas where children play. In ninety days they will have a report if it has been successful or not, and make a decision at that time. The motion was previously seconded. Motion passed by a four -one (4-1) roll call vote with Commissioner Sackett voting nay. E. City Commission approval to proceed with the new Farmer's Market and to decide on the name from the choices submitted. Mr. Capizzi said Leisure Services has been collaborating with the owner of Wild Hare Kitchen and Garden Emporium, which is across the street from the Clock Tower in an effort to revive the Farmer's Market for Longwood. He said the tentative start date would be in September, provided it is approved. The market would be on a Tuesday evening from 5:0:0 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. in an effort to not be in competition with some of the larger markets. He said the City parking lot on the north side of the Clock Tower would be used, and the City would enter into a contract with Ms. Bryant from Wild Hare and she will become the market manager. The contract would specify an 80/20 split, with eight (80%) percent going to Ms. Bryant and twenty (20%) percent to the City. The policies for the market are, almost finalized. The impact to the City would be providing the property, trash cans, picnic tables and low impact temporary lighting in the parking lot area. He said there are three names staff has come up with: Longwood Station Starlight Market, ,Longwood Starlight Market, or Starlight Green Market at Longwood Station. He said they would prefer the Commissioners decide which one they would like. Also, they would like to waive the restrictions on the sale of beer and wine at the market. He said there would be a vendor that would sell beer and wine at the market, which has made several existing markets very successful. He said people like to come and have a beer at the market and shop around for some food. Deputy Mayor Durso moved they go with the name Longwood Station Starlight Market because it is direct and CC 07-21-14/14 makes reference to the Station to encourage people to use the Commuter Rail. Seconded by Commissioner Sackett. Mayor Cortes said the motion is to allow the Farmer's Market and to choose the name Longwood Station Starlight Market. He asked if this includes the sale of beer and wine. Deputy Mayor Durso indicated allowing the sale of beer and wine was included in his motion. He said since it was part of the presentation his motion was all inclusion of what was being asked. Discussion ensued regarding the name choices and sale of beer and wine. Deputy Mayor Durso withdrew his motion -and amended the name only and moved to name the farmer's market Longwood Station Market. Seconded by Commissioner Sackett and motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote. F. Approval of a Non -]Exclusive Payroll Deduction Plan Agreement with BMG Money and authorize the City Administrator to execute all associated documents. Mr. Williams ,said this is a non-exclusive payroll deduction plan agreement with BMG money, and is offered as a benefit to their City employees that would qualify for a voluntary loan to help manage emergency expenses. BMG would make the arrangements with employees, set the tenns and would look at all the documentation noted by them about what the deduction would be. He said they would deduct the money and transmit to BMG, and BMG would reimburse them any banking fees, eliminating at risk or obligation on behalf of. the City. It is 100 percent employee elected and chosen. Deputy Mayor Durso moved to approve Item 11F as presented. Seconded by Commissioner Sackett. Deputy Mayor Durso said he did some research on this program; and the best benefit is it is free to the City, and is employee choice. He stated another benefit is those employee's making incomes in. the $20s, $30s, $40s are under credit stress and banks are hesitant to give them loans or credit cards. Commissioner Maingot asked what rate of interest 13MG is going to be charged, and is it flexible. Mayor Cortes called on a BMG Money representative to answer questions. CC 07-21-14/15 Mr. Frank Ioppolo, Jr., 4841 Shoreline Circle, Sanford, stated he is the legal counsel for BMG Money. He explained various elements of the loan process, employees can borrow between $500 and $5,00.0 depending on their income, and they pay it out over the course of six (6) months to two (2) years. He said this is for people with no other option, and gives them an option that is affordable. Discussion ensued about percent rates, process by staff to administer, and this option is employee choice.. Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote. G.
