7. PUBLIC INPUT
A. Presentations:
Ms.Bonnie Mims,Executive Director with Public Risk
Management; Mr.Hasib Bangloria,Senior Vice President of
Ballator Insurance Group; and Mr. Travis Childers,Business
Development Director with Ballator Insurance Group will give
a presentation on the financial stability of Public Risk
Management(PRM).
Ms. Bonnie Mims,Executive Director with Public Risk
Management,went over historical information and the relationship
between the City and PRM. She said PRM has served as the City's
insurance provider since 1994. She said they will go over market
updates and the cost drivers,the City's renewal exposures and
coverages,historical costs, as well as peer advantage and financial
strength. She discussed the history of Public Risk Management
and described them as being a risk pool for public entities, cities,
counties, special water districts, and airports. She described the
makeup of their Board,which consists of all members of their
pool. They are a not-for-profit,with all funding staying within the
pool. She also stated they have awarded Longwood over$365,000
in participation credits and dividends over the last eight(8) years.
Mr. Hasib Bangloria and Mr. Travis Childers discussed
information related to Workers Compensation and Commercial
Auto Liability. Regarding workers comp,the Florida Office of
Insurance Regulation gave contingent approval for an overall
statewide rate increase of 14.5%effective December 1,2016.
Also,two Florida Supreme Court rulings adversely impact Florida
workers compensation costs—Castellanos and Westphal.
Regarding commercial auto liability rates they are seeing increases
ranging from 10%to 25%plus nationally. The deterioration in
auto claims costs is believed to be a result of distracted driving,
aging infrastructure,rising medical inflation, increased traffic/road
activity, and growing cost of vehicle repair. They went over
property coverages and the City is getting a little over$28 million
in coverage. In addition,pointed out the ancillary coverage the
CC 08-21-17/2
City is getting which include boiler and machinery, crime, flood,
aviation, cyber liability, accident insurance and special events. Mr.
Childers stated that PRM is offering a well-rounded program for
the City of Longwood.
Mr. Bangloria said that there are seventeen(17) carriers that stand
behind your program for Longwood as part of participation with
PRM. He explained how they go out to forty(40) carriers each
year to get the most competitive rates. He went over the historical
cost for the City going back to 2008. They also touched on the
advantages and noted it is a true member driven program. It was
stated there is a twenty-two (22)year participation between
Longwood and PRM. They also have participation with cities
around Longwood such as Oviedo,Apopka,Lake Mary, and
Maitland. Since its inception,PRM has paid and processed$341
million in claims successfully, which does not include Hurricane
Charley which cost PRM$50 million and Hurricane Francis cost
PRM$20 million. Over the last five(5) years,PRM has given
back over$7 million in terms of surplus credits for the benefit of
the members to offset the premium. Property ratio was also
discussed and it was stated that they are buying more than enough
coverage for the City. Another aspect on financial strength was
discussed regarding net premiums written to surplus. It was also
pointed out that the industry standard is 3 to 1 or less and PRM is
1.8 to 1 ratio and that means the closer to 1 to 1,the more
financially stable you are.
Questions were asked by the Commission.
Mr. Williams said we have been a member since 1994. He said
several years ago because of the satisfaction we had with PRM on
the property and casualty side,the City chose to join the Group
Health Trust. He said prior to that,we were a fully funded health
insurance program and receiving rather large rate increases. He
said this forced the City to jump from carrier to carrier, creating
problems from an employee perspective. Since joining the Group
Health Trust,we have been able to maintain with the carrier and
have seen single digit increases with this most recent renewal
coming forward at three(3%)percent. He said some of the fully
funded insurance programs were in excess of fifteen(15%)or
twenty(20%)percent. He stated PRM has offered great service to
the City. They fill the gap for the lack of staff we have in Human
Resources. He said we call them on a number of different issues
and we receive far more services than what you are seeing.
Mr. Larry Adams from ACi in conjunction with Seminole
State College to present information on a partnership to
provide a kiosk at Weston Park Apartments.
CC 08-21-17/3
Mr. Adams presented a project for a kiosk to be placed at Weston
Park Apartments. He said Longwood has been chosen for a
location at the SunRail Station. He introduced Dr. Dick
Hammond,Vice President for Information Technology/Student
Services and Manager of this project. Mr.Hammond gave
background information about Seminole State College. He then
introduced Vice President for Marketing,Kate Herring. She went
over the kiosk that will be placed within Longwood and said it is
both interactive and static. She said it will be college-controlled
content and her team is responsible for designing and developing
content. She said they have links to City and community events as
they become available, and would be looking to Longwood to
manage the content for the City. This will allow content to always
be up-to-date and relevant to the City and community.
Mr. Adams said the location of this kiosk would be on private
property at Weston Park Apartments,near Church Avenue and the
train station.
Mr. Kintner stated that the kiosk is code compliant.
B. Public Participation.
Cynthia Glover Jackson, 480 State Road 434, Longwood said she
is the Elder and Overseer of Mount Olive Baptist Missionary
Church in Longwood. She said we have had an ongoing
relationship with Commissioner Maingot for almost ten(10) years.
She said he comes to visit our Church on a regular basis,been on
several of our programs, and we think so much of him and love
him. She said the Police Department has also supported us. She
said we know Commissioner Maingot as a man of excellence and
character, and we appreciate having you as a friend.
Judi Coad, 1695 Grange Circle, Longwood said she wanted to
thank the City for holding a Workshop on the beautification
program on August 14,2017. She said a lot of pertinent
information came out concerning the operation of that program.
She said many issues were shared but at that Workshop we were
not concerning on the resolutions to the many problems the
program entails. She has been involved with this program for
thirteen(13)years on behalf of the residents at the Barrington
Subdivision. She is looking forward to finding compromising
resolutions to these problems to move this program forward with
the intent of the original program. She said all subdivisions need
to be treated equal. She requests that in the next couple of months
there be more workshops/meetings to bring a resolution forward to
make this program run smoothly and is satisfactory to all involved.
CC 08-21-17/4
She has known Commissioner John C. Maingot since he first ran
for the commission and wanted to thank him for his offer to lend
his landscaping knowledge and to work with the subdivisions in
bringing this program forward. He has come many times to
Barrington to look over the front entrance maintenance issues and
give us his professional opinion. She also thanked Commissioner
Mark Weller for showing his willingness to understand both sides
of the program. She said the City's side and the constituents' side
concerns in helping to move this program forward. She thanked all
Commissioners and staff.
The Honorable James Perry, 280 Rangeline Road, Longwood said
his wife is a former Mayor of Longwood, and we have lived in
Longwood for forty(40)years. He said we have known
Commissioner Maingot for eighteen(18) years, and have known
him to be a person of integrity, character and always willing to
help in whatever manner he could. He has good common sense
and insight. He said he does not give his references lightly
because it means a lot,and what I say about him reflects on me.
He is proud to count on him as a friend.
Pam Meharg, 637 Sable Lake Drive, Longwood said she is the
Conservation Chair for the Seminole Audubon Society. She said
she realises the Commission is having a reading and public hearing
at the September 6th meeting for consideration of the adoption of
the Seminole County Fertilizer Ordinance within Longwood's city
limits. She said the Seminole Audubon Society works very closely
with our environmental partners in the Wekiva Coalition, County
staff; and the Board of County Commissioners of Seminole County
to come up with what we felt was a solid fertilizer ordinance to
help protect our most important resource,which is water. She said
the runoff from improper use of fertilizer can contribute to nitrogen
and phosphorous leaching problems with our waterways. The
proposed fertilizer ordinance that you are looking at adopting we
feel will help limit the fertilizer runoff damaging our natural
resources. She said surveys show you can use other types of
fertilizer during the summer months that will keep your grass
green. She said we support the use of 50% slow release nitrogen in
the blends year round. This will reduce the amount of leach of
reaching our waterways from 50%to 65%. She pointed out by
allowing a fifteen(15) foot fertilizer free zone from the waterways
helps reduce the leaching into the waterways. She said she is
supportive of the City adopting the ordinance.
Richard Johnston, 1043 Lommler Street, Longwood said
Commissioner Maingot has tirelessly worked to help our
neighborhood and wanted to thank him and the Commission for
what you all have done.
CC 08-21-17/5
Bill Gross, 1075 Lommler Street, Longwood said we had a
problem in our neighborhood and Commissioner Maingot came
out. He said we had to sandbag our street and you all are working
hard to solve our problems. He thanked Commissioner Maingot
for all he has done to help as well as all the Commissioners
Don Schreiner, 108 South Chapman Avenue, Sanford said he was
raised in Longwood and feels the Commissioners are doing a
fabulous job. He is here because of the recent art work on E.E.
Williamson and Ronald Reagan Boulevard. He hopes the
Commission will continue to see the positive side of the art work.
He came to know the artist through his art work and his charity
work. He also has done art work for the city of Sanford and has
been a very positive thing for their City. He stated he knows the
artist's style may not be the best and everyone's taste but what he
does paint is a very positive thing and family oriented. He said he
believes the land owners are receptive of the work and gave him
permission to put it up. He stated,he hopes the Commission sees
the positive aspect this could bring to Longwood.
8. MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
District#2. Mayor Durso said the Commission recently came back from
the annual Florida League of Cities Conference and stated the time to sign
up for committee membership is now. He recently spoke to the Seminole
County Council on Aging with regard to AARP Livable Communities
Initiative and talked about our plans and how we can better partner with
the Council on Aging as we move forward in the redevelopment. He said
there are some significant concerns for seniors in our community. We
spent a lot of time focusing on building roads and new community
amenities. He said it presents some difficulties if these amenities are not
designed with disabilities or aging in mind. He said he will get with staff
to discuss some of the items that were discussed in the meeting to include
in the long term planning of the City. He said at the last Mayors and
Managers Meeting, Tom Krueger, our Economic Development Manager,
partnered with the Economic Development Manager for the City of Lake
Mary and discussed the County's Economic Development Program. He
said they also talked about their plans and their new survey that is meant
to collect data on all the different businesses in our communities. This
survey includes aspects like the business needs,how many employees they
have,whether they are contracting or expanding,what they produce,what
we can do to help support in fmding new places, and helping with an
education pipeline. He said the next Mayors and Managers meeting will
be in mid-September, and it will be Representative Jason Brodeur going
through the legislative agenda recap of last year and moving forward for
next year. He said the legislative session for 2018 starts in January not
March. He said that Commissioner Maingot and he attended the
reopening of Longwood Elementary School, which is a big deal for our
CC 08-21-17/6
City. He noted it was an A school for decades before the closing. On
August 26th,there is a Habitat for Humanity dedication at Magnolia Place
on Oak Street at 9:00 am. He said later that same day,he will be
participating on a panel talking about transportation and infrastructure
along U.S. Highway 17-92, at Florida's Future Summit.
District#3. No report.
District#4. Commissioner Weller said he emailed Mr. Williams a copy
of the City of Minneapolis' Public Art Policy. His hope is that the City
can look into this policy and pick out what can be used for Longwood to
institute a policy for displaying public art in our City. He said he believes
public art placement can have a positive effect on our community, and the
City of Minneapolis probably has the best program that respects public art
and also respects the artist. He said their mission is to integrate public art
into the City planning, services design and infrastructure, and having
community engagement component for choosing art locations and the type
of art. He said their program also encourages sustainable art,which
Commissioner Maingot would probably be very happy with because there
is a component that uses landscaping as art. He is requesting the City
Manager place this on the agenda for the second meeting in September, so
the Commission can have a discussion on developing the City of
Longwood's art policy.
Mr. Williams said he could place the policy, as you submitted, on the
agenda,and he can distribute the information to the Commission.
Commissioner Weller thanked Public Works who came out on August 18th
to the Longwood Green Subdivision to do repair work at night on a road
collapsing around a manhole.
District#5. Deputy Mayor Sackett said once the kiosk is done he would
like a bike rental place at the SunRail Station. He said part of the game
plan for Weston Park was to have a bike rental kiosk there and another one
at Winn Dixie. He said last Saturday he celebrated five(5)years in the
City with The Hourglass Brewery. He stated he also attended the Comedy
Show and the Car Show in Longwood. He said he will attend the Habitat
for Humanity dedication. He said he attended an Eagle Scout Ceremony
at the Longwood Community Building. He also participated in a Boy
Scout ceremony last Tuesday where they ceremoniously destroyed 616
American Flags the proper way. He commented that the Florida League
of Cities Conference was wonderful.
District#1. Commissioner Maingot stated.he also attended the Eagle
Scout Ceremony. He said he also was at the Florida League of Cities
Conference and there were a number of training sessions for the
Commissioners to attend. He also was pleased that Longwood Elementary

B. Read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 17-1438,which

wastewater,road and neighborhood beautification
assessments.
Mr. Langley read Resolution No. 17-1438 by title only.
CC 08-21-17/9
Ms. Snead presented the Item.
Mayor Durso opened the public hearing.
The following people spoke:
Maria Ziadet, 533 Tiberon Cove Road, Longwood spoke in
opposition. She said she was told the reason for the increase was
because of water meter damage that no one knew about. She said
if utility companies are billing us for water,then they should be
crediting us if they never took care of that meter.
Mayor Durso advised her that a credit was already provided.
Ms. Snead said the monthly rate is $13.54.
Mayor Durso said we understand not only does the City need some
different controls but the neighborhoods need different controls as
well. He said a lot of the neighborhoods we are dealing with do
not have Home Owner Associations(HOA),which means when
neighbors complain,the City Commission tries to be responsive.
He explained these are not mandates. The cities of Longwood and
Winter Springs are the only two cities in Central Florida that we
have been able to determine that do these neighborhood
assessments. He said they have become slightly subsidized
because people are asking for more and more, and then we have to
use money from general revenue to fill the hole. He said if you
only pay in$6,000 and spend$8,000 as a neighborhood,that
$2,000 has to come from somewhere. He said taxpayers would
argue they shouldn't be paying for your entryway. He said the
City is very interested in giving the neighborhoods as much control
over this as possible, and we are happy to collect the money
through the assessment and write the checks. He said what we are
talking about is the special assessment tax for your neighborhood.
He said we are going to really work with the neighborhoods and
make sure you have a voice,decisions are approved and we level
an assessment that everyone knows the reason why.
Commissioner Weller said he hopes what is going happen is you
are going to be involved in putting a budget together. He said in
his HOA,we have an actual budget so we have an idea where the
money is going. He is also hoping the City is going to have a page
on the website for each one of the communities to see all the bills
and review the budget.
Holly Rubich, 584 Ridgeline Run, Longwood spoke in favor. She
went to the workshop and has a basic understanding of what was
CC 08-21-17/10
going on but does have a number of concerns that were all brought
up at the meeting last week. She felt like the Commission really
responded positively to their concerns and addressed all questions.
She said she liked the idea of a limit to the budget for each
neighborhood. She said the idea of creating a committee within
each neighborhood was a wonderful idea. This forces one or two
people who are leaders,to get others to create a group to open it up
to other voices to have a say in things. She said putting the bills on
the website for each neighborhood is so transparent. Anyone in the
neighborhood can look at that, and bills will be approved by a
representative from the neighborhood is a positive step.
Jean Williamson, 1415 Arborhouse Court, Longwood spoke in
favor. She likes the idea that the City will be helping them,but
does not feel that general revenue should be subsidizing any
neighborhood. She said one year,we had a major leak and had a
$10,000 water bill, which was just obscene for a very small area.
She said we had no way to know it was leaking. She hopes those
kinds of maintenance issues would be taken care of between the
City and the associations.
John Simpson, 523 Westport Drive, Longwood spoke in
opposition. He said he lives in Tiberon Cove and we had the
highest increase for water than other neighborhood represented. It
was stated no money out of the general fund, and for the amount of
money we are talking about this one time,why not. He said we are
spending a ton of money on Church Street and Reiter Park, which
is cool. He said there has not been an increase since 2004,then
you hit us with this type of increase. His point was why not for
this one year, and then going forward, establish a rate equitable for
the people living in those neighborhoods. He said that is why he is
opposing it.
Mayor Durso said the difference between Church Street and Reiter
Park is those are publicly used goods as opposed to the entryway,
which indirectly benefits the City,but directly benefits the
residents of that particular neighborhood. He said regarding 2004
to 2017 just coming up with an increase;he can't try to explain the
actions of previous Commissions. In the nine years he has been
here,we have never dealt with this type of neighborhood
assessment issue and this was going to happen because of the bills
going up. He said it should have been indexed a long time ago and
should have slowly increased over time so this would have been
more palatable. He said he is a proponent of indexing just about
everything because as things become more or less expensive rates
adjust, and it would make things a lot easier when it comes to these
conversations.
CC 08-21-17/11
Michael Grober, 525 Westport, Longwood spoke in opposition.
He said he has lived in Tiberon Cove for thirty-six (36) years and
he understands everything but the lack of communication about
what it is for. He went on the City's web page to figure out what
this increase is for,but there was no information that he could fmd
regarding the increase.
Mr. Williams said we did create a web page as a result of the work
shop last week. He said go to the Financial Services web page, left
hand corner is a green box that says special assessments and click
on it and your individual neighborhood will be listed.
No one else spoke in favor or opposition to the Item.
