01. PRESENTATION

Karen Kersey, Public Involvement Coordinator for the US 27/441 FDOT project, introduced Elie Assi, construction project engineer, and Allen Schrumpf, engineer of design. She stated they have a website that is updated weekly (www.cflroads.com). She reviewed the parts of the project and where the project is currently.

Mayor Bell questioned if the project was on schedule. Elie Assi stated the project is about 2 weeks ahead of schedule currently. Rain and holidays may cause some delays.

Mayor Bell asked if traffic accidents are tracked. Mr. Assi stated accidents are tracked. Have had 5 accidents so far, but only minor fender benders.

Commissioner Gunter stated he heard from several businesses that they were having problems with customers not being able to get into their businesses. This was especially true in the southern part of town. There are more tum lanes in the northern part and none in the southern. Commissioner Gunter asked if there was any solution. Mr. Assi stated this is a reconstruction project not just a widening project. In order to widen the road, traffic had to be shifted. The ultimate goal is to maintain traffic. The milling machine cannot pick up and stop at each driveway so businesses will need to bear with them during this process. Mr. Assi noted he was aware of the complaints from Bill Bryan Chrysler Dodge and Ace Hardware.

Mr. Assi stated there is no room for a left tum for Bill Bryan Chrysler Dodge and Ace Hardware. Tum around must be accomplished at the light at Martin Luther King Ave.

Vice Mayor Richardson noted there is a project engineer and a design engineer. He questioned what role the City's engineer of record plays in this. Mr. Assi noted BESH is involved fully in the JP A part of the project.

Commissioner Gunter noted a crosswalk is to be installed at Palm Street/Cutoff Road and he wondered if it will be signalized. Mr. Schrumpf stated he believes a countdown head will be installed with timing that will allow for conservative walking speed. Mr. Schrumpf will verify this.

Commissioner Gunter questioned if changes can be made still or are things set in stone. He noted a red light at CR466A is still wanted. Mr. Assi stated it can be added if the City wants to pay for it.

Vice Mayor Richardson noted the plans show a proposed light at CR466A and we were told earlier the light will be hung but not operable. Mr. Assi stated no, the proposal is done by others. This will also be looked into.

Rick Ranize asked why FDOT will not put in at light at CR466A. Mr. Schrumpf stated this was a design decision.

Ms. Kersey stated a study was done in 2007 during the design. This would need to be reviewed. Mr. Ranize noted in 2007, the Villages had not built on CR466A.

Rick Ranize also asked why the light is not being moved from CR25A to Spring Lake Road and why there is no left turn off Spring Lake. Mr. Schrumpf noted he believed this was because the numbers did not warrant a tum or a light.

Ms. Kersey stated she will look into what was discussed during the design. Mr. Ranize stated he would like to discuss this more. Ms. Kersey will discuss with Mr. Ranize.

Vice Mayor Richardson left the room at 7:20 p.m. and returned at 7:21 p.m.

A representative from Ace Hardware stated they have asked 3 times for a turning lane to be put in but have been turned down because the distance was too short. Mr. Schrumpf stated this was an access management issue decision made by DOT.

After much discussion between businesses affected by no turning lane and Ms. Kersey, Mayor Bell suggested setting another time to meet with the businesses involved. A time will be set up next week.

02. APPROVED THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. Mayor Bell presented the consent agenda for approval.

Commissioner Goldberg moved and Commissioner Gunter seconded to approve the consent agenda as presented. The motion carried with all the Commissioners voting aye. The minutes of the December 8, 2011 meeting were approved.

03. HEARD UPDATE FROM CHET ROSS ON THE AUDIT AND THE CITY TREASURER'S REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING NOVEMBER 30, 2011.

Chet Ross was present and gave an update on the audit. He noted the audit is about one quarter finished and we are currently up about $60,000 from last year. Risk areas being reviewed include: interfund transfers, collection of miscellaneous receivables, and the CUP cost. Mr. Ross stated he is on track to have his report by mid-February. A report will be scheduled for the February 23rd City Commission meeting. Mr. Ross stated he does

not recommend taking any more money out of the reserves - especially since there are no unrestricted reserves in the Utility Funds.

CT Michaud presented information on the report for period ending November 2011. She stated the report is very similar to that given in October.

Vice Mayor Richardson questioned if revenues should be brought over to a new fiscal year if outstanding amounts are brought forward from purchase orders. CT Michaud stated a mid-year budget amendment will be done to cover the amount.

04. CITY ATIORNEY'S REPORT - none

05. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT -

a. Utility Planning memo - CM Bowers stated an Utility Planning meeting took place. We are close to covering all the expenses for our utilities. We will be looking into reducing the SRF loan percentage rate to save money, and also will be using similar tactics as used in Spring Lake Cove development to cover new infrastructure. Transfer out of the utility fund will be monitored closely. CM Bowers stated we will also be looking at signing up all the customers who have infrastructure in place but are not currently connected.

Vice Mayor Richardson questioned why infrastructure was in place for customers who were not connected. CM Bowers noted this was being done when he came onboard.

Mayor Bell stated no one has been requested to connect as there were too many problems with the system.

CM Bowers stated the system is now in place to have them connect.

CM Bowers noted we learned the Villages are not running open top water storage but are running ground storage instead. We are beginning to look at this for some development such as on the Bouis property and on the north end of town.

CM Bowers stated we are also going to push to settle the lawsuit this year. Also we will be limiting our spending on infrastructure.

In addition we have currently spent about $300,000 for the CUP which adds 50% more water. CM Bowers noted he is working on a system to get new development impact fees to pay for this CUP cost.

Commissioner Gunter wondered if a line item for the CUP was going to be added under the restricted fund.

CA Gerken noted there are two issues. One of which is getting the money spent back. He stated some cities are now charging water availability fee in anticipation of CUP expenses.

Vice Mayor Richardson questioned what the CUP cost might have been if we did not request more water. CM Bowers stated about $100,000. CA Gerken agreed.

b. Water memos - CM Bowers stated he distributed many memos to update everyone on what is going on. He stated he attended several meetings with Commissioner Gunter with SJRWMD. He noted we signed on the have the Ocklawaha River as the alternative water source, but that will not be available during dry times.

Commissioner Gunter stated the meeting was more about the water in Lake Griffin. He spoke with the new SJRWMD Director about our CUP costs. The new SJRWMD Director told him he will try to streamline the permitting process - he was surprised by how much the permit cost us.

c. CM Bowers stated we have received a complaint of a water odor from William Gamble on Myrtle Breeze. PWD Bostic is working on this water problem.

PARK; PROVIDING FOR CONDITIONS AND CONTINGENCIES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mayor Bell requested public comments on any of these ordinances.

Russell Casson, interest in property ( Alt Key 1740321) listed in Ordinance 2011-017, stated he is not sure why he was lumped with the other property. Mr. Casson also questioned if the meaning of the severability clause in the ordinance was to allow the separation of the properties in the ordinance if one wished to stay in and one wished to stay out. CA Gerken no this refers to if a court decides any provision in the ordinance is improper (Section 4), then the remaining will continue as if that provision was never a part of it.

Mr. Casson asked if a majority vote is required. CA Gerken stated yes.

Mr. Casson stated he is not interested in annexing into Fruitland Park. He already receives the services the City provides. He stated he does not see what services the City will offer that he does not already have. The enclave issue is really an issue that has been created by the City itself. He noted the annexation of enclaves is not a mandate. Mr. Casson suggested passing and ordinance that the property would be annexed in upon sale.

Mr. Casson stated the P & Z Board did vote to annex in the property, but not unanimously. He is urging the Commissioners to vote against this annexation. He noted the P & Z Board stated they were tasked with this project. They stated their votes were advisory in nature only.

Commissioners Discussion

Commissioner Kelly stated she still does not want to force people to come into the City.

CA Gerken stated we can put a Covenant to Annex in place. If the Casson property is removed from this ordinance, the other parcel can still be brought in. Removing the parcel does defeat the intent of brining all the enclaves into the City.

Commissioner Gunter questioned the Covenant to Annex. CA Gerken stated you see this often with utilities. Certain conditions need to be met before a parcel can be annexed into the city.

Commissioner Gunter stated we have asked others to come in during the past. He stated in 1994 we brought in a number of enclaves in.

CA Gerken stated the reason for bringing in enclaves is to tighten up the borders and clean up discrepancies in costs.

Vice Mayor Richardson stated he usually doesn't want to force someone into the City. He noted he does not remember tasking Planning and Zoning with the job of looking for enclaves. This is not a financial windfall for the City.

Commissioner Gunter questioned if there are any costs to come into the City. The places are grandfathered in until the buildings are altered or changed.

Page 13


CC Gibson Smith requested CDD Rector to explain all the costs involved in hooking up to our water and/or sewer. CDD Rector explained the costs involved. He noted if within the city limits, the costs can be spread out over time. Outside the city limits requires payment up front and costs will be billed at 125% of those for in-city limit customers. If water and/ or sewer is available within a set distance, all customers ( in city limits or not) must hook-up upon failure.

Vice Mayor Richardson questioned if the Commission had the authority to waive the impact fees. CM Bowers stated our SRF loan does not allow that. CA Gerken agreed stated the impact fees are what have been pledge to pay our SRF loan.

Commissioner Goldberg asked why Mr. Casson was so averse to coming in. Mr. Casson stated his main reasons include electric costs and the additional taxes.

be included in any further discussions and if the decision is made to annex in later on, fees of approximately $1000 will be charged.

CC Gibson Smith stated all of the annexation ordinances were submitted to the County. They were sent to Ann Corson.

Mr. Root stated he is surprised the City has more authority than the county in this. Mr. Beliveau noted Florida is one of few dual taxation states - the county will continue to get their tax share.

10. COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS

We heard it was going into the hardship funding in November. Mr. Bowers stated he didn't want to come out of our current budget. Vice Mayor Richardson stated we should have still voted on it. CA Gerken stated yes, unless it was done under the continuing contract. Mr. Bowers stated he will get additional information on it.

Page 26


d) Commissioner Goldberg - commented to Mr. Root regarding the cities having more power than the county. Commissioner Goldberg gave an example outside of government where his company has to fall within State guidelines over the Federal guidelines.

11. MAYOR BELL'S COMMENTS. Mayor Bell stated he agrees with Commissioner Gunter. He stated he remembers the original round. Mayor Bell stated people made a ruckus, but people are now happy. Mayor Bell stated he is proud to be in Fruitland Park. He has a house and a business here.

Mayor Bell stated he attended a Parks & Rec Board at County on Monday. The NW Park was not on the agenda but was added at the end. They expect to have a completed plan before mid-year for our new park.
