Staff: Virginia Walton, Village Clerk Manager Umberger advised the Council that periodically Staff reviewed the costs involved in meeting services to the public and adjusted the fees associated with those services to better reflect the actual impact on the Village s budget. The amended fees in this resolution would help offset the costs incurred by personnel for police details, code enforcement, public record requests and non-resident use of the many Village facilities. Mayor Pro Tem Escalada asked how the rates for baseball and football teams compared with other cities. Director Golson responded that the only fees right now were for adult flag football and they were in line with other cities.

As in other years, the Village hopes to receive an additional donation from Phantom Fireworks to add to the show. This contract meets the approved budget for this event.

Staff: Bill Davis, Public Service Director Manager Umberger advised the Council that the project was for rehabilitating and upgrading the filtration system at the R.L. Pratt Water Treatment Plant. The construction costs were anticipated to be between $633,000.00 and $750,000.00. Funds for this project have been budgeted through the Water & Sewer Enterprise Fund. Council Member Brinkman commented that this was a large task and questioned how long the process would be to completion. Direct Davis responded that from design to bidding to construction would probably take about twelve months. Council Member Gunther questioned the variation in pricing.

Approval of Eckler Engineering Task Order 136 for Design and Construction Phases for Rehabilitation of Monica, Davis Road and the Professional Plaza Pump Stations, with design services for the lump sum fee of $61,000 and services during construction not to exceed $41,600. Staff: Bill Davis, Public Service Director Manager Umberger advised the Council that the rehabilitation of these pump stations was due to their age, and in some cases, capacity increase requirements because of additional customer connections for flow increases. The construction costs were anticipated to be around $500,000.00 to $600,000.00. Funds for this Task Order 7
have been budgeted through the Water & Sewer Enterprise Fund. Hearing no Council comments or questions, a motion to approve was made by Mayor Pro Tem Escalada and seconded by Vice Mayor Waller.

Funds have been budgeted through the Water & Sewer Enterprise Fund. These improvements were also part of an annexation process for this area, which included several commercial properties. Mayor Pro Tem Escalada asked if the residents had been notified of this project. Director Davis responded the property owners were very happy with this project. Manager Umberger added that when finished this would overall add to the value of all the properties. Also, at Hunt and Davis, there was a large Seagrape Tree that the Village was going to try to save and relocate. Mayor Smith asked if Davis Road would need to be torn up. Director Davis responded that hopefully it would not; however, should that happen it would be put back to the original condition. Director Davis added that almost 400 lbs of dirt had been saved from improvement to the latest Village Park and this would be a major dollar savings for this project.

ACTIONS AND REPORTS 19. Appointments to the Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals Staff: Virginia Walton, Village Clerk There were three regular and two alternate member positions expiring on April 27, 2013. Two current members, Douglas DeVos and Sandra Lynn Player, have indicated their willingness to continue to serve. There have been no other applications submitted.

Motion carried 5 0. 20. Appointment to the Library Board Staff: Virginia Walton, Village Clerk There were two regular member positions expiring on April 24, 2013. One current member, Helene Baggett, has indicated her willingness to continue to serve. There were no other applications submitted. A motion to re-appoint Helene Baggett for a three year term to expire on April 24, 2016, was made by Vice Mayor Waller and seconded by Council Member Gunther. Motion carried 5 0. ADD: 21. Discussion on 1020 Evans Drive Property Staff: Karl Umberger, Village Manager Manager Umberger stated the closing on this property donated by the Bank had been completed and the Village had taken possession. The Bank had paid all closing costs in order to clear all code enforcement liens. Engineers had inspected the structure and determined it was in very poor condition and the costs to rehabilitate would be more than it was worth. Since the property was a half acre lot and was located a little too close to 10 th Avenue to consider as a new Village Park, the best use appeared to be to take the structure down and sell the lot. Manager Umberger added that an initial appraisal would set the price at approximately $35,000 to $40,000. Mayor Smith agreed with Manager Umberger to sell the property. Being only 100 yards from 10 th Avenue, it would create too great a liability to consider for a Park site. Council Member Brinkman asked if that price was after paying for the demolition. Manager Umberger responded the lot would be sold as is, and the buyer could decide to either rehabilitate or demolish. Council Member Brinkman felt the Village would probably not get the full amount since the cost of demolition was between $3,500 and $5,000. Council Member Gunther asked if the building official had already condemned the structure. Manager Umberger responded that had not officially been done, but the house was uninhabitable. The previous owner had illegally added on and renovated the house. Mayor Pro Tem Escalada stated that if the assumption was for demolition, the site has water and sewer, and could possibly be large enough for a duplex. 9
Council Member Brinkman wanted to know about the timing for getting the lot advertised and sold. Also, would there be a time line for the owner to do something with the house. Manager Umberger responded that if Council agreed to sell, the process could start tomorrow. Stipulation could be put in the sale that the house would either be demolished or the new owner would have six months to bring up to code. Council consensus was to sell the lot. VILLAGE COUNCIL COMMENTS Mayor Pro Tem Escalada stated he couldn t say enough about the excellent refinancing bond put forth tonight. It was also great to see the real focus on infrastructure with these new projects. Also, it was great to see the excellent relationship between the baseball and soccer programs playing on the Village fields. This was something never seen before. Director Golson responded the soccer group this year, Elite Soccer Academy, was very easy to work with. Council Member Brinkman commented this was a good agenda. The money being spent will benefit the entire area. Since there were so many soccer teams, had Summer Street Park been looked at for a possible alternate site. Director Golson responded there had been issues with complaints from neighbors having balls coming into their yards, so groups were not put there. Council Member Gunther commented that it had been a great movie night recently. Very enjoyable and a big crowd had attended. The Easter Event was also very well attended and even thought it had its moments, it was a lot of fun. Vice Mayor Waller congratulated CFO Morse and her staff for a terrific refinancing bond; congratulated Direct Davis on the great upcoming utilities projects, and she was looking forward to the Arbor Day tree planting event. Mayor Pro Tem Waller added that the article about Manager Umberger in the paper was a good one. Mayor Smith commented that this agenda had both money saved and money spent. Mayor Smith suggested to Chief Ceccarelli that possibly a thank you letter could be sent to Lake Clarke Shores for all their support of our movie night events and their loan of projection equipment. Mayor Smith announced that the Library Bookmark Awards event would be next Wednesday. Also, the Florida League of Cities meeting on April 27 th was being sponsored by the Village, but located at G-Star School. Republic Services was sponsoring the luncheon through Child s Place Main Stage. G-Star now had over 1100 students, was an A-rated school, had 99% graduation rate and 97% went on to College. Mayor Smith asked if G-Star was part of the Village s Fallon Scholarships. Manager Umberger responded they were sent the applications; however, not many Village residents attended the school. 10
