C BLUE SEAL OF EXCELLENCE DESIGNATION recognition of Central Services Fleet Maintenance staff for achieving the Blue Seal of Excellence Designation. Over the past six months, staff has diligently pursued training in service areas that have improved the efficiency and effectiveness of our fleet maintenance operations.

Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 8 of 23 4. A PUBLIC HEARING - FIRST READING - PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 11-30 KUA APPOINTMENT METHOD AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA, ARTICLE IX UTILITY AUTHORITY, SECTION 4 ELECTION OF MEMBERS AFTER INITIAL ORGANIZATION, CHANGING THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS FOR AUTHORITY BOARD MEMBERS; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. This is a request to approve the first reading of proposed ordinance No. 11-30 amending the method used for the appointment of members to the Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA) Board of Directors. Pursuant to City Commission direction, this is an ordinance amending the City Charter on the selection of KUA board members. As the Commission is aware, the current method of selection by the City Commission is to ratify the nomination of the person recommended by the KUA Board. Last year the City Commission directed staff to advertise an ordinance that would change the method of selection to the Commission handling the interview process and making appointments to the KUA Board, similar to the method the Commission uses on the Toho Water Authority (TWA) Board. This change accomplishes that. This change would have the City Commission appoint members directly to the KUA Board by a majority vote. This change would have the applicant apply to the City, not KUA. In essence the KUA Board would be out of the process. Staff recommends approval of this first reading.

Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 11 of 23 7. A KISSIMMEE GATEWAY AIRPORT MINIMUM STANDARDS AMENDMENT approval to amend the current Kissimmee Gateway Airport Minimum Standards for Category "B" Flight Instruction. Kissimmee Gateway Airport has some of the highest volume of flight training operations in the U.S. In an effort to maintain the quality and diversity of flight traffic at the airport, it is necessary to review our standards periodically to ensure the Airport is positioned to take advantage of current economic development efforts. The Airport currently has two existing primary flight schools that have undergone the process to receive their Part 141 Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and have sizable fleets of aircraft either owned outright or on long term lease arrangements. In addition, the relatively new Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) category created by the FAA, and associated airman s certificate (license) has attracted at least one LSA only flight training business to the airport in the last year. In keeping with the principle of airport minimum standards, it is essential to reflect the amount of investment made by existing businesses operating on the airport. The following changes are proposed: 1)Section 601: Adds language requiring Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) flight training buildings to be a minimum of 10,000 square feet of hangar aircraft parking and 2,500 square feet of attached office, classroom, testing stations, etc. 2) Section 603: Requires the Tenant to possess a FAR Part 141 Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 3) Increases the number of aircraft required. The Tenant will be required to have a minimum of 12 single engine and one multi engine fixed wing aircraft must be equipped for and can be used for instrument flight instruction. For Light Sport flight training only, tenant must have a minimum of four (4) Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), defined as Type Certificated by the FAA as of and suitable for operation at Kissimmee Airport. The Airport Advisory Board approved all actions necessary for the completion of this procedure at the August 24 th, 2011 meeting. Staff recommends amending the Minimum Standards, dated November 13 th, 2009, for Flight Training, to increase the minimum number of aircraft required and to add the requirement to hold a FAR Part 141 certificate, and to add minimum requirements for flight training entities performing Light Sport Aircraft training only.

Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 12 of 23 7. B TAXIWAY B APRON CONSTRUCTION INCREASE CHANGE ORDER # 1 approval of Change Order # 1 and an increase to the budget for rehab and alignment of Taxiway B and construction of the hold apron on Runway 24 from Airport operating funds in the amount of $2,127.55. On July 5, 2011, the Commission approved a construction award for the Runway 24 Run Up Area Project in an amount not to exceed $810,642.73. During the construction phase, unforeseen modifications to storm water structures and increased quantities of galvanized fencing, gates and electrical work were required. A change order was approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the amount of $6,722.25. Due to cost savings from the project engineer s Not to Exceed Charges, the total cost only increased by $2,127.55. In order to balance the project budget, Airport staff requests approval to transfer $2,127.55 from Fund 461-7010-542.61-93 AP1002 to Fund 483-7010-542.61-93 AP 1005. AP1002 will be closed out and remaining funds will revert to Airport Reserves. Since the project is complete, this will be the only change order. Staff recommends City Commission approval of Change Order # 1, and any budget transfers/adjustments required to close out the project with an amount of $2,127.55 IC2TaxiWy_B_changeOrder1.air 04/17/2012
Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 13 of 23 7. C INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH OSCEOLA COUNTY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT THE INTERSECTION OF COLUMBIA AND CENTRAL AVENUES Approval to execute an inter-local agreement between the City and Osceola County for the traffic signal replacement project at the intersection of Columbia and Central Avenues. This project will be funded 50% by Osceola County and 50% by either the City's Sales Tax or Gas Tax Fund. Staff has had some concerns identified by the City s Traffic Operations maintenance staff regarding the condition of the existing signal mast arms and poles at the intersection of Columbia and Central Avenues. Last year the City contracted with Comprehensive Engineering Services (CES), through a continuing services work order, to review the structural condition of the signals located there and at others throughout the City. This review was completed late last summer and it was determined that the signals will have to be replaced. Staff is currently working with CES again to see if and how the cost of the new signal installation can be reduced as much as possible. Osceola County has agreed to participate and match the City s costs on this project 50% since the intersection is half in the City s control (Columbia) and half controlled by the County (Central). The complete project is estimated to cost $195,000 so the City s portion of the project will cost approximately $97,500. This project consists of completely replacing the existing signals and signal system at the intersection of Columbia and Central up to current FDOT standards. Staff proposes to use either Sales Tax monies specifically budgeted for this project or available Gas Tax monies, pending completion of the Capital Budget. Staff recommends Commission approval and execution of the inter-local agreement between the City and Osceola County for the signal replacement project at the intersection of Columbia and Central Avenues.

Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 14 of 23 7. D OSCEOLA COUNTY COURTHOUSE REPLAT FINAL PLAT City Commission approval of the Osceola County Courthouse Replat final plat. Osceola County, owner of the property, is requesting final plat approval without a guarantee. The property, located south of Emmett Street and east of Rose Avenue, is being platted into 1 lot for development purposes. Due to the absence of public improvements being associated with the subdivision of this land, the minor plat procedure was utilized. Therefore, a maintenance bond is not required with the filing of this request. Staff recommends approval of the Osceola County Courthouse Replat final plat. IC2OsceolaCoCourthouseFP.eng. 04/17/2012
Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 15 of 23 7. E CENTRAL AVENUE MEDICAL CENTER FINAL PLAT City Commission approval of the Central Avenue Medical Center final plat. The L.O.K., LLC, owner of the property, is requesting final plat approval without a guarantee. The property, located south of Vine Street (U.S. 192) on the east side of Central Avenue, is being platted into one tract for right of way dedication and one lot for development purposes. Due to the absence of public improvements being associated with the subdivision of this land, the minor plat procedure was utilized. Therefore, a maintenance bond/guarantee is not required with the filing of this request. Staff recommends approval of the Central Avenue Medical Center final plat. IC2CentAveMedCtrFP.eng. 04/17/2012
Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 16 of 23 7. F SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE SCHOOL BOARD CONCERNING THE KISSIMMEE CHARTER SCHOOL CHARTER. This is a request to approve the Seventh Amendment to Agreement between the City and the School Board concerning the Kissimmee Charter School Charter. As the commission is aware, the City and the Osceola County School Board have an existing agreement concerning the Charter for the Kissimmee Charter School. At the time, the original agreement was negotiated back in 1999, the City donated land at Four Corners to the School Board to build a Charter School there. In return for the donation of the land, the School Board agreed to limit the statutory administrative fee for the charter school to 2.5% rather than 5%. Since that time, the State Legislative has changed the formula in applying the percentage and in prior amendments staff from both the City and School District have attempted to sort it out. This amendment clarifies the current allocation and attempts to provide guidance for any future changes that may occur. Staff recommends approval. IC2Charter_School.ca 4/17/2012
Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 17 of 23 7. G FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND SCHOOL BOARD CONCERNING THE SPORT AUTHORITY SITE This is a request for City Commission approval of a First Amendment to an Interlocal Agreement between the City and School Board concerning the Sport Authority school site. As the Commission is aware, the City agreed back in 2008 to allow the School Board to convert the abandoned Sports Authority site into an alternative school. Because the site is located in the Vine Street Overlay District, the City and School Board agreed to a limited period of time that the school could operate at the site. Since redevelopment of the corridor has been slower than expected, the School District is desirous of continuing the school for three (3) additional years after the initial term expires in 2012. This agreement provides for a 3 year term from August 1, 2012 and ending July 31, 2015. Likewise, at the time this was approved, a Restriction Covenant (Deed Restriction) was recorded which limited the use of the site until July 31, 2012. Attached is an Amended Restrictive Covenant extending the Restriction until July 31, 2015. Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement giving extending it an additional three years. IC2Sports Authority Amendment.ca 4/17/12
Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 18 of 23 7. H LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE SHINGLE CREEK REGIONAL TRAIL DESIGN PLAN Approval to execute an amendment to our existing Local Agency Program Agreement (FPN 430225-1-38-01) between the City and the Florida Department of Transportation for an additional $1,000,000 for our design contract for the Shingle Creek Regional Trail. Through our participation in Metroplan Orlando, staff has been able to secure state funding for the development of the Shingle Creek Regional Trail (SCRT) design. The original funding amount from the Local Agency Program (LAP) Agreement was for $1,000,000 which was approved by the City Commission on April 5, 2011 (Resolution #09-2011). However, through discussion and negotiation with FDOT it was determined that an additional $1,000,000 would be necessary in order to provide the City with a more functional/all inclusive design plan. Therefore, this proposed amendment is required to accept the additional funds and increase the total state funding to $2,000,000. The purpose of the LAP agreement is to formalize FDOT s funding participation in the development of the SCRT plan. The LAP agreement states the terms and conditions upon which such assistance will be provided and the manner in which the project will be undertaken and completed. Approval of the supplemental LAP Agreement between the City and FDOT for the SCRT design plan to reflect a total of $2,000,000 in state funding. IC2ShingleCreekTrail-LAPagreement.ds 04/17/12
Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 19 of 23 7. I RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING QUALIFYING PERIOD FOR THE AUGUST 14, 2012 CITY GENERAL ELECTION The request is for Commission to adopt a Resolution establishing the qualifying period for the August 14, 2012 City General Election.

Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 20 of 23 7. J AUTHORIZATION TO USE THE FEDERAL TREASURY FORFEITURE FUNDS TO PURCHASE NEW TECHNOLOGY TO BE USED TO GATHER INFORMATION AND COMBAT CRIME Commission authorization to utilize funds from the Federal Treasury Forfeiture Fund for the sum of $18,000 to purchase items to be used to identify suspects, vehicles, and gather real time data for the purposes of crime reduction while officers are in the field. Mobile Automatic License Plate Reader (MALRP): The Police Department requests authorization to purchase one Mobile Automatic License Plate Reader (MALRP) from L3 Mobile Communications. The MALRP is a device that can be installed on a City vehicle and will read the license plates of vehicles, checking the plates against various databases. The data captured can alert the Police Department to the presence of sexual offenders, career criminals, expired registrations, Amber Alerts, or any other lists that are compiled and maintained based upon a license plate number. This new technology would be deployed in a City vehicle and the data used will assist in aiding our mission of crime reduction as well as locating criminals in our City. The MALPR is designed to function with the existing L3 Mobile Vision equipment currently owned by the City. The cost of the MLRP is $12,000 per unit. Mobile Rapid ID Units: The Police Department requests authorization to purchase four Mobile Rapid ID Units for use by officers in the field. The Mobile Rapid ID unit is a device used to match fingerprints of suspects in the field to Federal RISC and the FDLE state Automated Fingerprint identification Systems (AFIS). Using an FBI SAP Level 30 certified scanner, a search is made against the existing databases through the MDC. This technology could positively identify or eliminate a suspect or in the case of outstanding warrants, prevent the possibility of false arrest. Currently, we have to call for assistance from the Sheriff s Office when needing to ID an individual. Purchasing four of these units will enable one to be available to KPD at all times. The cost of each unit is $1,500. The Police Department is requesting authorization to use the Federal Treasury Forfeiture Funds to purchase and deploy these technological items for the sum of $18,000. The Federal Treasury Forfeiture Fund has an available balance of approximately $180,000. The request for authorization to purchase computer equipment and software was reviewed with the IT Department and to meet the established computer and software guidelines. The request for authorization to use the Federal Law Enforcement Trust Funds to purchase and deploy the equipment was reviewed by the City Attorney and was approved.
Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 21 of 23 Approval to use the Federal Treasury Forfeiture Funds to purchase these items in an amount not to exceed $18,000 to further the Department s mission of crime reduction and professional law enforcement. IC2CIDTechUseOfForfeitureFunds.pol 04/17/12
Commission Meeting - April 17, 2012 Page 22 of 23 7. K FIRST AMENDMENT TO COUNTY DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE PARKING GARAGE This is a request for approval of the First Amendment to the County Development Agreement for Parking Garage. As the Commission may recall, the City previously entered into a Development Agreement with the County concerning the construction of their parking garage. Because the County asked that Beaumont Avenue be closed between Emmett Street and Bryan Avenue, it impacted the City s Comprehensive Plan policy on traffic circulation and street connectivity. As a consequence, the County is required to improve and provide alternate roadways in the immediate area. The Agreement originally provided that the County would have a plan approved by the City prior to Certificate of Occupancy (CO) on the parking garage. The County thought at the time they would have a final decision on the campus for the build out of the County Complex. Unfortunately, they still haven t decided what they are going to do. As such, this Amendment is to allow a CO for the nearly completed parking garage with certain conditions before any other CO s or expansion can occur. It also gives a concept of the type of improvements the City is expecting the County to complete. Staff recommends approval. IC2ParkingGarageAmendment.ca 4/17/12
