CITY MANAGER S REPORT APRIL 7, 2005 FOR CITY COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 11, 2005 1. RAILROAD CROSSING QUIET ZONES Hillsborough County has engaged a consultant for a fee of $81,913 to conduct a feasibility study to examine requirements to establish up to fifteen quiet zones in Hillsborough County including one through Brandon, Valrico, and Dover. The consultant s estimated cost of implementation for all fifteen zones using minimum safety requirements is estimated at $4.7 million and $23 million using more expensive mechanical barriers. The City s Engineering Department has obtained a proposal from the same consultant for $42,782 to study all the City s public highway railway crossings. We do not intend to pursue such a study because we simply don t have the dollars available for implementation. However, we will continue to monitor what the County does in this regard. 2. TRANSIT BUS DELIVERY DELAY We had expected to receive the transit buses in April based upon the most recent information but have found delivery is now scheduled for May 16. This will necessitate another extension of service with Hartline in order to continue uninterrupted transit service in Plant City. We have asked Hartline, however, since the extension is in 60-day increments, if we could terminate earlier, depending upon buses arriving as scheduled and us commencing service around the first of June.
Each month s delay adds $6-7,000 to the cost of transit service. 3. BING HOUSE On Monday, April 4 th, Jim McDaniel, Community Development Director, Henry Johnson, President of the Improvement League of Plant City, and Stephanie Ferrell, Historic Preservation Consultant, traveled to Tallahassee to discuss the City s application for assistance to renovate the Bing Rooming House with the Historic Preservation Grant Review Panelists. Representative Rich Glorioso also dropped in to address the panelists indicating his support for the project. The panelists included C. Elaine Romans, Chairperson, Commercial Real Estate Broker, Jacksonville; Elysha Dunagan, Historical Resources Coordinator, City of Deland; Dr. Dorothy Fields, Historian and Founder, Black Archives of South Florida, Miami; Jeff Hole, Architect and Founding Principal, JSH Consulting Group, Inc., Sarasota; and Dr. David H. Jackson, Jr., Professor of History, Florida A&M University, Tallahassee. The panelists ranked the City s application as number 5 out of sixty four applications on the basis of the perceived historical significance of the proposed projects. The rankings help determine which projects will receive funding in the event that adequate funding is not available to support all of the requests for assistance. The City s request for $50,000.00 was recommended for full funding by the Historic Preservation staff and received favorable comments from several of the panelists. The application seeks support for the preparation of architectural and engineering documents needed for the stabilization and complete rehabilitation of the building, as well as the emergency structural stabilization of the building. This work will include foundation repairs and replacement, repair and replacement of first floor beams, floor joists, sub-floor and finished flooring, repair and selective replacement of studs in load-bearing walls and partitions as well as roof framing and decking repairs. Following the stabilization work, the building will be treated for termites. Encouragement was also given by Historic Preservation staff and several of the review panelists for the City to seek additional support to complete renovations of the building through the State Historic Preservation Major Acquisition and Development Grant Program. 4. PLANT CITY POLICE DEPT. NARCOTICS/GANG OPERATION On March 31, 2005, The Plant City Police Department s Street Crimes Unit completed a three-month investigation dubbed Operation Resolution. This threemonth investigation focused on criminal activities related to illicit narcotics, gang activity, vice crimes, and alcohol law compliance. Operation Resolution produced the following results: - Three (3) search warrants; - 50 arrests for narcotics related crimes; - One alcohol compliance sweep that resulted in two (2) arrests; - $25,000 in seizures of narcotics, property, and currency; - One handgun seized; - Ten (10) gang-related arrests; - 100 gang contacts; - Bonds totaling $752,925. One of the activities associated with Operation Resolution was the serving of a search warrant on Thursday, March 31, 2005, at the Right Price Restaurant property located at the intersection of Alabama Street and Coronet Street. A business on those premises known as Munchez was the specific target of that search warrant. Officers of the Plant City Police Department were joined by agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency during the serving of this warrant. Three arrests were made that night: two arrests for immigration violations; and, one arrest for narcotics violations. Operation Resolution is another in an ongoing series of investigative efforts being conducted by the police department to address problems associated with the trade of illicit narcotics and gang-related criminal activities.
5. STATE REVOLVING FUND FOR WATER RECLAMATION FACILITY PROJECT The City Commission has previously approved authorized State Revolving LoanFund funding for the Water Reclamation Facility project and has authorized the City Manager to sign the appropriate loan documentsdocument subject to legal counsel review. I plan to sign the loan agreement documentshortly as soon as the language is resolved.. The loan documents are for the initial loan amount State Revolving Fund loan has been analyzed by our financial advisor who has concluded it would save approximately $5.4 million in present value savings of $2,670,199 which is for planning and design. There will be a second, larger loan of approximately $30,000,000 later in the year. The terms of the loan are currently being negotiated with DEP. The loan with DEP will be secured by a pledge of the water and sewer fund as well as a backup covenant to budget and appropriate from available non-ad valorem revenue the funds sufficient to pay for the project. Because this backup covenant would not have been required for a bond issue, the city s financial advisor has reviewed the matter and concluded that the covenant would not adversely impact the city s ability to borrow in the future and because of the low interest rates (less than 3%), it is better for the City to borrow under the State Revolving Loan program, than to issue bonds. Borrowing the money from DEP would result in approximately $5.4 million in present value savings over the 20-year life of the loan versus a public offering. 6. EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION Sergeant Dale Peterson Outstanding Performance Award Sergeant Peterson was instrumental in conducting a successful suicide intervention and effecting a surrender without injury.
