CITY MANAGER S REPORT SEPTEMBER 9, 2004 FOR CITY COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 13, 2004 1. HURRICANE FRANCES Plant City was once again fortunate compared to damage received by coastal cities as a result of Hurricane Frances. However, the storm imposed a significant workload on City staff and workers and they rose to the challenge admirably. Chief Bill McDaniel activated the Police Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on Saturday and I activated the Emergency Operations Center at City Hall which included Kathy Burke, Martin Wisgerhof, Jesse Carr, Jim Ellis, and Fire Chief Shiley. Chief Shiley served as our coordinator of emergency management with the County and kept everyone informed and coordinated and did double duty as Fire Chief in directing operations at the Broadway Tire Company fire on Collins Street. Building and Code Enforcement employees who stayed Saturday night at City Hall were Ray Proctor, Lamar Kent, Terry Doolittle, and Dennis Sweeney. J.C. Kent, Delane Southerland, Mike Mullis, and Rachael Wooten were on duty Sunday at the EOC. They were released at 7:00 p.m. Sunday so they could get a good night s rest for a heavy duty day coming up on Monday. Receptionist Donna Cannon also worked Monday until 7:00 p.m. General Services employees working were Ed Dudley, Bruce Swartz, Cliff Haynes, Merle Guy, Robert Sikes, Lloyd Lay, Wally Miller, and Fernando Castano.
Our crews have kept up quite well in clearing debris and removing fallen trees. One problem we have experienced is fuel delivery and we are in the process of terminating our fuel supplier and looking for a new one. Everyone has done an outstanding job and I think we can all be pleased for the effort our employees have put into serving the public. On Monday, Mayor Mike Sparkman, Chief McDaniel, Martin Wisgerhof, and I met with Tampa Electric Company Chief Executive Officer Sherrill Hudson concerning power restoration. In case you missed it, there is an attached article from the St. Pete Times about the Broadway Tire Company fire. 2. MID-STATE DRIVE PROPERTY McGrath, Alderman & Associates has appraised vacant property located on Mid-State Drive at a value of $111,500. Basis for the appraisal is the sales comparison approach which compared the sale of three similar properties to the subject property (See Attachment 1). The property is zoned M-AP and is 85,813.1.97 square feet in land size. The property is included under the same folio number with other property owned by the City. All of the property included under that folio number has a total of 973,566 square feet and the Property Appraiser assigns a land value of $730,174. Staff recommends that the property be declared surplus property and be sold to the most responsive bidder. In addition to providing a bid amount, prospective bidders must specify how they intend to use the site. Both the bid amount and proposed usage will be considered in determining the most responsive bidder. If the City Commission concurs with staff s recommendation, the property will be advertised for sale with a minimum bid of the value appraised by McGrath, Alderman & Associates. 3. DEDICATED WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SAMPLING STATIONS The Utilities Operations Division has budgeted 50 Dedicated Water Distribution System Sampling Stations. Another 50 sampling stations are proposed in the budget for Fiscal Year 2004-05. The use of these stations will help ensure a more representative sampling of our drinking water system and will eliminate the need for access to private property for monthly sample collection. Requests for Proposals were made of three vendors for samples of their systems. An evaluation of these systems was made and included security of system, durability, general appearance, and ease of use for flushing and sample collection. The selection committee consisting of Frank Coughenour (Utilities Operations Manager), Steve Saffels (Permit Compliance Coordinator), and David Kesslar (Plant Operator IV), selected the Eclipse #88-WC as the best purchase for meeting these criteria. Summary evaluation of the competing equipment follows and photographs are attached: Unit #1: The Eclipse #88-WC was the selected alternative which included all the necessary valves and fittings and included an aesthetically appealing green enclosure constructed of durable cast aluminum. The initial cost of this alternative was somewhat higher than the others, but the materials should last for 30 or more years. Unit #2: The Station Guard XLT unit consisted of little more than a bare aluminum tube enclosure. Additional valves, fittings, and piping necessary to complete the installation would add significantly to the cost. Additionally, it is believed that the bare anodized aluminum tube would not be well accepted by the general public. Unit #3: The GIL EH101-30, the lowest priced alternative, was not selected because the external case was made of polyethylene. These materials will not hold up for more than 5 or 10 years in the field before they require replacement.
The Utilities Operations Division Operating Budget contains sufficient funds for this purchase. The purchase price of $17,000 includes shipping and a one time charge of $400 to have the City Seal cast into the cover of each unit. Since this is a purchase less than $25,000, in accordance with the purchasing policy, I am notifying the Commission of the expenditure. 4. HARTLINE Following up on inquiry by Commissioner Rick Lott s conversation with Sharon Dent, Executive Director of Hartline, Jim McDaniel and I met with her and her staff Friday afternoon, September 3. They have responded saying that they cannot match our price, that the hourly rate would be $56.50 which would be $253,000 a year. Allowing for farebox revenue, we estimate the net cost to the City if it contracted with Hartline, would be $220,000 to $240,000, as compared to our estimate of $173,000 if operated by the City. Attached is a letter from Sharon Dent, Executive Director, of Hartline. 5. SIGNALIZATION PARK ROAD AND SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD City staff met with Florida Department of Transportation Traffic Operations on August 11 to again discuss the possible installation of a traffic signal at the South Frontage Road and Interstate-4 (I-4) intersection. With the installation of a traffic signal on Park Road on the north side of I-4, accident data has shown a definite downward trend of accidents; therefore, FDOT does not support installation of a signal on the south side of Park Road. They have committed to do some geometric changes to improve safety at this intersection even though current accident data and traffic counts do not support installation of a traffic signal. 6. PAUL S. BUCHMAN HIGHWAY LIMITS The following information is in response to an inquiry about the limits of Paul S. Buchman highway: In 1994 the State Legislature passed Chapter 94-363 which was approved by the Governor on March 28, 1994. The act designated that portion of State Road 39 from Interstate-4 to Highway 301 the Paul S. Buchman Highway. Road signs currently exist at all intersections along the highway indicating the name as either Paul Buchman or Paul S. Buchman Highway. This includes several intersections which are within the City limits (Monroe, Terrace, Oakland Heights, and Campbell). 7. ROSELAND PARK The City has awarded design and permitting of stormwater improvements to try to alleviate the flooding in the Roseland Park area. The project scope also includes the work necessary to repair and/or reconstruct the various roadway infrastructure within the subdivision. The design engineer, David Butcher, P.E., of Boggs and Butcher, has scheduled a pre-application meeting with the Southwest Florida Water Management District for their earliest date available which is September 21, 2004. After this meeting the engineer will have a far better indication as to what the permitting agency will require and what can be done within their rules to alleviate the flooding. After this pre-application meeting the consulting engineer can prepare preliminary plans. These preliminary plans are needed to determine where the proposed waterline and associated fire hydrant can be installed and not be in conflict with any roadway or stormwater improvement. It is estimated that the waterline and fire hydrant plans and specification will be combined with two other waterline projects and be bid out by the
end of this year. This is later than previously reported due to Engineering s heavy workload. The funding has been allocated for this waterline extension. The construction plans for the stormwater and roadway improvements should be completed in the first quarter of 2005. These plans will be of sufficient details to provide realistic cost estimates for the recommended improvements. Staff will then work to program the proposed improvements into the capital improvement program as the budget permits. 8. SKATEBOARDING Jack Holland reports that the new skateboard park has 375 registered users, all of whom have signed waivers and have been issued a photo identification card. Cards are valid through December 31, 2004, and renewals will begin in November. Jack reports that since the facility is not staffed, we do not have a daily usage count, but it is rare to drive by and see no activity at the park. Chief McDaniel reports there has been a noticeable decrease in skateboarders in business areas since the skateboard park opened. According to Police Officer Russell Allen, who is assigned to the downtown area, there has been a significant decrease in skateboarders in downtown. 9. HURRICANE CHARLEY ASSISTANCE BY POLICE DEPARTMENT TO PINE ISLAND Following Hurricane Charley s devastating progress across the state of Florida, the Plant City Police Department registered with the State s Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee as an agency willing to provide personnel and/or equipment to aid in aftermath activities. On Thursday, August 26, 2004, Plant City Police Department received a request from the State Emergency Operations Center to provide six officers for patrol operations on Pine Island in Lee County. Lt. Bryan Bergau, Sgt. Brian Miller, Officer Tray Towles, Officer Eric Daniel, Officer Leo Young, and Detective Matt Lawson volunteered for the Deployment Team. These Plant City Police Department members were quickly outfitted for the multi-day deployment and made their way to Pine Island. Over the next five days, the Plant City Police Department Deployment Team provided police services to the residents of Pine Island. The duties that our officers performed included, but were not limited to: Patrol Operations, Traffic Control, Security Patrols, Relief Services, and Community Oriented Policing. The Lee County Sheriff s Office was able to resume normal law enforcement services for Pine Island on Tuesday, August 31, 2004. At that time, Plant City Police Department s Deployment Team was relieved from duty and returned to Plant City. Chief McDaniel will present a brief power point slide show of our officers helping in Pine Island. 10. POLICE DEPARTMENT The City has received an extremely complimentary letter from Ms. Marilyn Frankel to Police Chief Bill McDaniel commending Lt. Jerry Stwan, Officers Tony Gamez and Phillip Galluzzo for the wonderful help that was provided to them prior to and during the hurricane crisis. She also wrote Chief McDaniel that the department is a well ran, efficient and organized police force. 11. SANITATION DIVISION Ms. Dorothy Knox, 1307 East Tomlin Street, personally came to City Hall to compliment the excellent job of several Sanitation Division employees. She said she was in the process of dragging tree limbs closer to the street when the sanitation truck
pulled up which she felt would not stop. The truck did stop and all three employees proceeded to pick up the limbs for her. In appreciation she stated Plant City has the finest people working for them and she would not live in any other town. 12. TRAFFIC DIVISION ASSISTANCE IN UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA (USF) TRAINING COURSE Don Rainard, Streets & Stormwater Superintendent, has received a thank you letter from the University of South Florida for his participation in the course Introduction to the Atom with High Technology Examples. One of the high technology examples was use of LED s. The LED video was filmed at the City s Traffic shop and Plant City received credits for participation at the end of the program. This science training course has been utilized all over the United States with positive reviews. 13. SEWER LINE GROUTING PROGRAM Enclosed is an article that will appear in the October issue of Cleaner Magazine that about Plant City s grouting program. Public Works Director Kathy Burke reports that we are beginning to receive national attention for the sophistication and scale of our infiltration and grouting program. She is very proud of the accomplishments that are reported in the attached article. 14. EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) are pleased at the level of training the City s employees have received in stormwater management at the annual review for our NPDES permit renewal.

Finance Director Wisgerhof made the following presentation: The rollback rate for computing property taxes is that rate which will generate the same level of revenues as was generated the prior year. The 2004 levy of 4.70 mills is a 6.03% increase over the rollback rated of 4.4326. The $435,500 increase in the ad valorem revenues is being used to replace decreased interest income, and to cover part of the increase in general fund operating costs. The general fund budget includes funding of the bus services to be operated by the City for a net cost of $173,500, an across the board raise of 3.0% for all employees, increase in benefits costs of $292,418, and increase costs for new general fund positions in the police department, general services, engineering, recreation and parks and code enforcement including benefits of $347,907. The total budget proposed for all funds, inclusive of grant funds and re-appropriated carry forward amounts to $83,182,452. If you deduct the interfund transfers from the budget the net result is $78,918,452. If you subtracted the loan for the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant of $28,500,000 from the total proposed budget then the increase in the total budget over last year adjusted budget would only be 3.01 percent. The Mayor invited others to speak. Hearing none, the public hearing was closed.
