8 Commissioner Gay congratulated Chief Sapp and the Police Department for receiving their award. Commissioner Gay stated it is good that we recognized Curtis Green by renaming the park. Commissioner Gay stated that we have a lot of pending things in the budget and we probably need to set aside some time in June and July for some of the items that need to be prioritized. Commissioner Gay stated that several bags of yard trash were left in District IV. He also stated that Jetty and North Shadow Streets need some attention. He added that there is a trash pile in Western Cemetery that needs to be picked up. Commissioner Sapp asked if we could give the Police Department a standing ovation for receiving their award.

The City Manager replied it is a normal operation of the electric distribution system. City Manager Wade stated that the electric power goes off if an animal, a tree limb or some other foreign object creates an electrical fault or short circuits the electric wires. He stated the breaker goes off as a protection 5

9 measure if something gets on the wires; the breaker is a protective device. All electric utility systems have some form of breakers to protect the infrastructure. Comments from the Audience Frieda Bass-Prieto of 329 East King Street came before the Commission with the following concerns: she thanked the Police Department for the apprehension of the burglary suspects; the utility report states that Gretna is behind on their utility bill with the City and we should not treat them any different than any other customer. She stated we need to reevaluate their contract. She thanked the Police Department for looking out for the residents on King Street. Mayor McMillan stated that there is still speeding on North Shelfer Street. Mayor McMillan thanked everyone for coming out to the Community Meeting on last night. He stated the meeting was a success and well attended. He thanked the Police Department for an outstanding meeting and performance. Mayor McMillan thanked Joe Munroe for the benches downtown and stated that Mr. Munroe has a lot of influence. Mayor McMillan stated that we need to have a workshop on the budgeting process regarding all of our capital items and to prioritize items in the budget. He stated we are getting our audit. Mayor McMillan stated that the right of way trimming and power line trimming goes along with the brown-out; we need to trim the right of ways. Mayor McMillan stated that he loves the fact that we hire youth for the summer but there is very few places for a young person to be employed anymore. He stated his problem is that yes the young people get a paycheck but do they really learn anything while they are here or does the City get any production out of them being here. Mayor McMillan added that one thing he wants to see is able bodies; they need to be at work not just sitting in an office. He stated this could be any incentive if they do some type of physical labor; this would probably make them want to earn a degree. Commissioner Dowdell asked if the students have been notified of the employment with the City. Ms. Evans stated no. 6

12 CITY OF QUINCY CITY COMMISION AGENDA REQUEST Date of Meeting: June 13, 2017 Date Submitted: June 8, 2017 To: From: Subject: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Mike Wade, City Manager Bernard O. Piawah, Director, Building and Planning Ordinance on First Reading; for Voluntary Annexation of Certain Properties on the Eastern Part of the City Statement of Issue: This is a request for voluntary annexation of two parcels on the eastern jurisdictional boundary of the City. Per Section , Florida Statutes (FS), the owner of real property in an unincorporated area of a county which is contiguous to a municipality and reasonably compact may petition the governing body of said municipality that said property be annexed to the municipality. The proposed annexation area is compact and contiguous to the City s eastern boundary on Jefferson Street. These are prime commercial and urban properties that will provide for the commercial expansion of the City on the east and enhance the City s tax base. The City s staff is recommending that the City Commission approve the request to annex these properties. Attached is the annexation ordinance for First Reading. Voluntary Annexation Requirement: The proposed annexation meets the requirements of Section , FS because: 1) the subject area is contiguous to the City s boundary, 2) is compact, and 3) the annexation shall not result in the creation of an enclave. Property Description: The proposed annexation area involves the following two parcels: 1. Parcel No.1: This parcel consist of a triangular piece of land, about acres, on the eastern part of the City on Jefferson Street. The property is sandwiched between the City s jurisdiction on the north and south, and the Quincy Bypass on Page 1 of 7

13 the east. It is currently vacant, does not contain wetlands or floodplains and has great potential for commercial development. 2. Parcel No.2: This parcel consists of 3.41 acres located at the corner of Selman Road, Quincy Bypass and US 90 on the eastern part of the City. The site is currently vacant, does not contain wetlands or floodplain and has the potential for commercial development. Why is the Annexation Necessary? Cities grow through annexation in order to stay abreast of the demand for land to support the economic and population growth of the City. The proposed annexation area will expand the City s boundary further to the east and above all, will give the City a greater opportunity for economic growth on the eastern part of the City. Cost Benefit Analysis: Cost: Currently, the proposed annexation will not cost the City anything. The site is currently vacant (in agricultural use - timber growing). The future cost to the City is that it will provide an additional area for police patrol which will not be any different from the police patrols taking place in that area of the City at the moment. Benefit: The annexation will contribute to the City s financial base for a variety of reasons: 1) the annexation will increase the overall land area under the City s jurisdiction used for State revenue sharing calculation; and 2) these two parcels are strategically located on the City s major commercial corridor (US 90) and have great potentials for commercial uses. The development of these sites for commercial use will undoubtedly enhance the City s tax and employment base that will benefit the citizens of Quincy. Conclusion: The City s staff believes that the proposed annexation is in the best interest of Quincy and is needed to support the growth of the City. In view of that, the City s staff is asking the City Commission to approve this voluntary annexation request. Options: Option 1: Option 2: Approve Ordinance on First Reading, for the voluntary annexation. Do not approve the proposed Ordinance on First Reading. Page 2 of 7
