Commissioner Glorioso stated he has talked with the CEO of Coronet Mine regarding making right of way available to be worked into the Transportation Plan and requested that dialogue be continued to ensure the process. CITY MANAGER S REPORT MARCH 18, 2004 FOR CITY COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 22, IMPROVED RESPONSE TIME FOR VICTIMS OF CARDIAC ARREST I am pleased to report that the Plant City Fire and Police Departments are taking measures to improve the survivability of cardiac arrest victims by placing defibrillators in police patrol cars and at City Hall and the Library. Time to shock cardiac arrest victims with defibrillators to bring the heart back to normal rhythm is critical in saving lives. The joint efforts of the Police and Fire Departments should prove to increase chances for cardiac arrest victims to survive. Specifically, Police Chief Bill McDaniel s item on the Consent Agenda proposes to acquire six defibrillators to equip patrol cars and Fire Chief George Shiley plans to purchase two defibrillators, one for City Hall and one for the Library. The Police and Fire Departments have coordinated on the equipment to be

4 purchased so that it will be the same. The Fire Department will provide training for Police personnel and Library and City Hall employees. Since police defibrillators will be the same as ones used by the Fire Department, firefighter/emt s will be able to attach their equipment and take over the work of the police officers when they arrive. The Fire Department s equipment is also compatible with the County s ALS equipment. Late last year Chief Shiley and I met with Bill Ulbricht and the doctors in charge of the emergency room at South Florida Baptist Hospital and discussed a variety of issues including timely usage of defibrillators to save lives. That discussion led to the joint efforts and leadership of both Chief McDaniel and Chief Shiley to improve our capability for quicker response time. Incidentally, last summer, USA Today ran a series of three articles concerning failures of emergency services resulting in needless deaths. One article reported that, For years conventional wisdom was that help must come within 10 minutes for sudden cardiac arrest victims. USA Today reported that recent research from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota found that the time is 6 minutes. Rochester equips their police with defibrillators and they are often quicker than the Fire Department to arrive because of their mobility. According to USA Today, Rochester police were first to shock 37 of the 73 people who were saved in the past 12 years. The City was able to raise its survival rate from 30% to 44%, one of the highest in the nation. Funding for the defibrillators to be used by the Police Department will come from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund. Funding for the defibrillators at City Hall and the Library will come from the Fire Department s capital outlay allocation which had been part of a budget match for a grant that was denied. Cost to acquire the two defibrillators is $5, LAURA STREET REDEVELOPMENT CONCEPTUAL PLAN The first public meeting was held Monday evening, March 15, at which strengths and weaknesses of the neighborhood were addressed by the 30-something attendees present. The next public meeting will be March 29. Thereafter, the conceptual plan will be developed by the consultant and brought to the Commission. An inquiry had been made about enlarging the scope of the study area. Upon an inquiry it has been determined it is a little late in the game to do that at this time. However, the conceptual plan under discussion presently may be the basis for an enlarged expanded undertaking later. 3. TRAIN HORNS City Engineer Brett Gocka teleconferenced several weeks ago with FDOT and the Federal Railroad Administration to learn more about the proposed quiet zone rule pertaining to train horns. The Federal Railroad Administration has proposed a quiet zone rule to be finalized December 18, To qualify for a quiet zone a railroad crossing must have a low accident rate and all the appropriate safety equipment to keep people from going around the gates when a train is coming. A local government may apply for a quiet zone and we are going to talk about how we will approach that. Staff time will be involved in evaluating crossings and public expenditures for required safety measures may be more costly than the City is prepared to undertake. As soon as we conclude on how best to evaluate participation, we will let you know. Below are the points that Brett learned in his teleconference with FDOT and the Federal Railroad Administration: 1) The Interim Quiet Zone Rule was issued on December 18, 2000.

5 2) Currently the Interim Quiet Zone Rule is in its comment phase and we have until April 18, 2004 to provide any comments on the rule as proposed. 3) The Rule will be finalized on December 18, ) Today, there is only one quiet zone in Florida. 5) The Rule promotes safety first, locomotive engineer can still sound horn in a quiet zone if he feels it is an emergency situation. 6) Currently, a locomotive engineer must sound the horn within seconds of an intersection but cannot sound the horn if he is greater than a ¼ mile from an intersection. 7) A 75 mph Amtrak will have 12 seconds to sound horn prior to entering an intersection 8) Engineer will sound 2 longs, one short, one long 9) Proposed sound levels at public crossings to be between decibels. Current levels only require a minimum 96 decibels. 10) Railroads have 5 years to comply with new decibel requirements 11) Quadrant gates and lights are required for public quiet zones. 12) Private quiet zones require stop sign, cross buck, and warning sign. A diagnostic team from the Federal Railroad Administration will determine sufficiency. 13) Quite zones must be a minimum ½ mile long. 14) Quiet zones evaluated using a quiet zone risk index. 15) Supplemental safety measures may be required to meet the proposed index. 16) Safety measures include, quadrant gates, one way street with gate, median barrier 100ft long from tip of stop bar, 60 ft. to adjacent intersections, temporary closure for night time only zone. Alternative safety measures also considered. 17) Prior to application for a quiet zone the crossing must be on the state inventory list of crossings. Inventory used to determine supplemental safety measures. 18) Gates and safety devices must be in place prior to application. 19) Only local authority (authority with ownership of street) may apply. Private intersections will require approval of local authority. 20) Railroad has no authority over quiet zone determination nor are they required to install quadrant gates and lights. 4. SIGN ORDINANCE Planning Director Rob Anders presented a draft ordinance to the Planning Board revising the City s signage regulations and after some discussion, the Planning Board took action to continue the matter to a workshop on Thursday, March PLANT CITY CROSSINGS TRAFFIC SIGNAL Work resumed on the crossing signal on Monday, March 15. Completion is expected in April. Work on the signal project was discontinued at the end of February so as to not conflict with the traffic from the Strawberry Festival. 6. HOWARD STREET CROSSING STATUS REPORT Our contractor estimates that he has two more days of work within the 25 feet restricted area of the tracks. He is working on getting a flagman for two days over the next week. If he is successful, he will finish the City s portion of the work within the next two weeks (includes areas outside the 25 restricted zone). The crossing cannot be opened until CSX finishes their portion of the work. They need to do two things. First is to install another concrete panel or rail seal and pavement for the pedestrian crossing. Apparently when CSX Engineering did their quantity take-offs they did not refer to the City s plans and forgot that the roadway does not cross perpendicular to the tracks. Since the crossing is skewed, it is longer (46 versus 40 ) than the cross section would appear and they ended up

6 one panel short for the pedestrian crossing. The second is the signal and gate installation. CSX s current schedule is to start April 19 th and they estimate it will take approximately 3 to 4 weeks to finish the signal work. This places the crossing opening in mid to late May. 7. RAILROAD CROSSINGS The Public Works Department will prepare a report on railroad crossings within the city addressing location, condition and maintenance responsibility. This will serve as a basis for future action. 8. CORONET ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS The Environmental Protection Commission (EPC) ed their latest Coronet Investigation Status Report which was presented to their Board on Thursday, March 18. I have included below the highlights of the status report. The entire 30 page report was ed to the City Commission and is available on the City website at Status Report 3-22.pdf February 13, 2004 Coronet releases a Shutdown and Decommissioning Plan for their feed prep plant. It describes the proposed procedures for shutting down by the end of March and maintaining the site. One of the primary environmental concerns following shutdown is the maintenance of the holding ponds. Coronet announced their intention to preclude untreated releases by treating and releasing effluent to English Creek only in the event of heavy rains and high water. March 4, 2004 Department of Health (DOH) publishes a report on study of cancer incidences in the area adjacent to Coronet Industries. It was concluded there was no statistically significant increase in the number of observed cancer cases in the community when compared to the expected number of cases. March 8, 2004 Coronet issues a site assessment and rehabilitation plan for their facility. The plan outlines the procedures to be used to assess the site and rehabilitate it to be consistent with future site land uses. Those future land uses are not detailed in this report. March 11, 2004 The federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) releases a report on the evaluation of the samples taken from private drinking wells in the Coronet area. In the report, ATSDR concludes current drinking water exposures represent no apparent public health hazard. They further state local government has taken prudent measures to provide bottled water to residents who s well tested high for arsenic. March 18, 2004 EPC finalizes its report on the environmental site assessment of the two old municipal waste landfills east of Park Drive adjacent to Lincoln Park. The report states the fenced sites do not appear to present a threat to public health. Future development though will require EPC s authorization and could include some remediation. Single residences directly on old landfill sites are discouraged, but these sites have been approved for other nonresidential uses such as parks. 9. PURCHASE OF IN-CAR VIDEO CAMERA SYSTEMS In-Car video camera systems were first installed in the Police Department Patrol Fleet under LLEBG (Block Grant) #2. Since that time, the Police Department has

7 added In-Car video cameras incrementally under subsequent block grants. In-Car video has proven to be tremendously useful in documenting evidence on all manner of police activities, including service calls, traffic stops, crashes, DUI investigations, and other criminal investigations. During the years that the Police department has used these systems, they have repeatedly proven their value as evidentiary tools, and for resolving questions and complaints. On August 11, 2003, the City Commission approved the Police Department s proposed uses of LLEBG #8. Based on this approval, I have authorized the purchase of 10 In-Car video camera systems and all supplies necessary to the operation of these devices from Martel Electronics Sales, the sole source provider, for an amount not to exceed $18,000. The camera systems are intended for installation in the Police Department s newest patrol vehicles. This will bring In- Car video deployment to 100% of all assigned patrol vehicles. 10. PURCHASE OF LAPTOP COMPUTERS FOR POLICE MCT PROGRAM The Police Department maintains a deployed force of 70 laptop computers that are used for sending and receiving data related to calls for service, running various law enforcement queries, and for incident report writing. These computers are an integral component of the Police Department s dedicated law enforcement network. On August 11, 2003, the City Commission approved the expenditure of Block Grant Funds for the purchase of Police Department computer technology. Based on this approval, I have authorized the purchase of 10 semi-ruggedized laptop computers, 10 DC power adapters, and 10 CDPD Air Cards for connection to the Police Department s existing wireless data network from PCNation for an amount not to exceed $22,000. The MIS Department arranged this purchase for the Police Department in accordance with the City s purchasing policy. This purchase will replace 10 computers that were purchased in 1998 and are no longer usable. All of these computers will be issued to police officers for daily use in the field. 11. EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION Police Chief Bill McDaniel received a letter from Attorney General Charlie Crist in recognition of Officer Tammbril S. Scott for having completed 120 hours of Crime Prevention curriculum through the Florida Crime Prevention Training Institute. Less than 3,000 law enforcement officers statewide have attained this distinction. Mr. & Mrs. Charles H. Buddy Hearn wrote a letter to the City expressing appreciation to City staff for their concern and assistance in placing signage and repairing potholes on Sunset Road between Wheeler and Thomas Streets. Janet Smith, Hillsborough County School bus driver, complimented Police Department officers on a job well done during the Strawberry Festival for getting the buses out of area fast and efficiently in the afternoons. 12.
