Good. Okay. Good evening everyone and welcome to Oito City Council Chambers. If everyone could please rise for the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation under God indivisibley
and justice for all. Please join me in a moment of silence. I would like to call our meeting to order. It is August 18th, 2025 at approximately 6:30 p.m. and we have all members of council present. We're going to start off with our ceremonial items. So, I will hand it over to the mayor.
All right. Well, let's all head down here and if we could ask parks to join us in American Cancer Society. I was wait right. Good evening, honorable mayor, city council members, and members of the community. Uh this past February 21st,
the city hosted its 16th annual golf tournament. Um this benefits the American Cancer Society and just recently the past few years, Helpful Hands and uh this has been a tremendous event um for the past 16 years like I'd mentioned um we've had a lot of support
from the community with all the contributions that have been given have gone to such a great cause and we appreciate everything that um Mr. Atkinson and his team has done for us. Um, before we get started with a few other individuals that that'd like to speak possibly, I'd like to first thank the city council members for their
support over the years. It's been tremendous and we've seen a few of you out there playing on the course, too. So, thank you for your help. I'd like to thank city manager for his support over the years as well. Um, I couldn't go on with this presentation without thanking our staff members. U, Miss Terry
Martini, um, she's put a her heart into this event over the her tenure. Um, we've had a lot of other city members that have helped out. um over from Center Lake Park staff with Terry Hokinson, Dean McCullum, and Mason Win. This past year, a lot of hours. We
actually had a change up this year. Um we actually moved up the golf tournament a few months earlier. We had a little bit less time to prepare for it, but needless to say, we overcome that challenge and it was a huge success and a great turnout. I also like to thank Twin Rivers Golf Course and uh Down to
Earth, their entire team for their um generosity and graciousness of hosting the tournament this year. And um last but not least, I'd like to thank James Atkinson from Relay for Life and not only from himself as a colleague and a friend, but also your team members that showed up, your volunteers, your support
members, and the time that you put into it as well. I'd like to thank you for your help. All right, at this time I'm going to pass the mic over to Terry. I think she'd like to say a few words. Thank you. And yes, thank you for everything that you do for our community. Um, I also want to thank two
people that uh could not make it tonight. So, our other recipients would be helpful hands and we also um cannot uh we'd be remiss without thanking our title sponsors, Waistb. Well, on the on behalf of the American
Cancer Society, um I I reiterate what Paul said. There's so many people to thank uh that puts an event like this together. Um it's no mean feat and obviously the support from the uh the city as well and the council members um the sponsors. Terry does an amazing job
as Paul's mentioned as well. Um for the American Cancer Society, I I I say this every year. Uh it's really uh to help us also let you know what we do as an organization, where the money goes, how it's spent, and the local programs and services that are also nationwide. Um
our road to recovery, if people are struggling to get a ride to treatment, we provide that free of cost. We have hope lodge, um 31 nationwide, two in Florida, free places to stay for cancer patients that that are needing a place to stay. Um and our 1-800 number as
well. just a few of the programs and services that you know this money goes to support. Um but there are literally hundreds if not thousands of cancer patients that have benefited um from all of the support uh that this golf tournament brings. Um so as I say on behalf of the American Cancer Society,
thank you so much for everybody's support and help and uh and we look forward to uh another brilliant year coming up. Right. Thank you, James. Um, at this time we'd like to present the American Cancer Society with a um donation of $20,000 from those funds collected this
year. And over the 16-year period, overall donations to American Cancer Society total just under $400,000. So that's a tremendous cause that we've gone through. At this time, I'd like to just move on and um if you want to take a picture
really quick this way towards me. Yes. And helpful hands who cannot make the presentation. Our annual contribution this year was $10,000. So overall as a city, we've raised $30,000 to two great causes. So thank you all
for your support. [Applause] Good smile. All right. And next up, we have Robotics Team 7477. If you guys could all head on up here. I'm not sure who the best person is to kick off talking about the group, but
come on up. I will pass it off first to uh talk first. So, who's the most? Let me introduce um good afternoon. Um good evening, Mayor Leec council members. My name is
Prasad Shiroluru. I'm the coach of uh 7477 Super 7. We are a first robotics team called First Tech Challenge. We'll be starting our 16th year trying just one year behind the golf golf tournament. Uh yes. Um so first of all, thank you for giving us the opportunity
to bring these bright young minds. Super 7 started uh 2010 just down the street on Kingsbridge Drive in our garage. Then now it's moved to another garage in Lake in uh um Live Oak Community. Sorry, I'm
I'm thinking Lake Drive, but Live Oak community. So, so these kids are from different high schools in Semino County. Uh, so they done a great job this past year. So, they got a small presentation uh to walk you through their season. That's the robot from last year's championship. It made it to the world
championship. So, I'll pass it on to the captain and go from there. Um, yeah. So, we'll just get started. So, our members come from two schools across Semlan County, namely Hagerty High School and Semil High School. We've been a first tech challenge team for
over 15 years and over these 15 years our goal to our goal has been to create a positive impact on the veto community. Additionally, our name super 7 comes from our seven keys to success which are respect, integrity, organization, perseverance, leadership, creativity,
and teamwork. These keys aren't only used in robotics. We use them in every aspect of our lives. And as you can see at the TV, this is a photo of our team at our first league meet this year. And uh on the TV, you can see a table of
our team with all of our names, grades, the school we go to, and our role in the team. So first is a worldwide nonprofit organization that stands for for inspiration and recognition of science and technology. this it aims to spread um STEM and gracious professionalism
around the world. It helps develop students confidence and it builds it helps build connections with mentors who can help students succeed in the future. And now Rashant will talk about the game. So every year first releases a challenge which robots have to complete. This year
the challenge was named into the deep where robots had multiple options of scoring. So number one they had these samples which they could score into buckets. Number two, they had these specimens where they could clip onto rungs. And number three, as you can see on the robot, there's these like metal
hooks on the back uh right here, and they could use that to hang on iron bars in the center of the field. And we heavily take inspiration from industry leaders and our mentors, which help us to complete our robot. Now, we'll show a quick video of our world's tournament
match. So, just a quick um summary of how this works. In these competitions, you get a randomized match schedule and it takes you have an alliance partner and you're playing against two other robots. So, there's a blue alliance and a red alliance. So, you have to work together to develop a strategy that
maximizes your score. In this match, we're on the blue alliance. And these matches, as you can see, are played on like a foam playing field. And these first 30 seconds are actually completely autonomous. So, all these robots you see moving right now are completely pre-programmed instruction. So, it's completely based on sensor input and
takes a lot of tuning to get it to the accuracy and speed that it needs to to be competitive at like a world level. Um, after that, you have a 2-minute driver control period, which we'll see now. Um, where the drivers are going to be controlling for 2 minutes. No audio.
Uh, there should be some video audio. It's just music. Yeah. And then the main game, as we talked about, the samples and specimens, but you had to get those from the middle of the field. So if you, as you'll see in the match, there's going to be a bit of like defense and pushing around. So that's another aspect
to the game as well. countries represent a great area and also we have matches a great
city members presentation this video competing. The other video is actually the instructions of what they had to build the robot for functionality for the competition. So if you're interested in all the different elements
that they and then these last 30 seconds are just kind of the end game. So that's where you'll see the robots doing like the hanging stuff. Um yeah, but that's about it. Yeah. Okay. So now we're going to talk a little bit about our actual robot and
its design. So our robot throughout the year um throughout the season change extensively with hours spent designing and prototyping. We reached out to many local industry professionals for guidance on our robot. Our intake moves horizontally to intake samples. It then
slides back to pass through to our double-jointed arm. This whole mechanism then moves up on slides scoring the high basket. Yeah. So, this intake works on a differential which basically uses two motors to allow
for two um separate degrees of freedom. So, yeah, essentially, as you can see, it can move in multi directions. Kind of like like a if you take a joystick from one of those arcade games and you like go in two different directions, it's kind of modeled for that. And that just increases the uh accuracy and
reliability of it. And that's just to show like how much iteration we do on the robot. So this was our final product for Houston, but it's definitely not what we started with um in like our first couple months. So now I'll talk a bit more about the programming side of things. So one one
of the things that we use for programming are dead wheels, more formally more formerly known as odometry pods. Yeah, they're these small wheels on the bottom robot and they really help us movement control especially during the first 30 seconds of the autonomous
period and they've pretty much helped us to move quicker across the field and be more efficient in total. Now I'll hand it off to so if you felt them you can see that they're actually sprung backwards and what that it keeps basically tension on the floor. So these wheels right here are powered by motors
but these wheels aren't. So these wheels are what we use to actually track the position of the robot and that just makes it more accurate. Now I'll hand off to Yug to talk about a past season. So last season we were able to achieve many goals such as the FTC Inspire Award
which is awarded to the team that like best represents um first core values from their robot to giving back to the community. Uh next we were able to win the winning alliance award within um the first space coast league uh located in Avita Florida where teams from uh
Seminal County, Broward County and Orange County all come to compete. Uh this moved on uh this moved us on to the state championships where we were able to place third for the Inspire Award earning us one of five slots into the Houston World Championships. Here we were able to achieve a match record of
six wins and four losses placing us 15th of uh of other teams where there were 64 other teams within the Franklin Division. Uh thank you. [Applause] Now Parth will talk about our extensive
outreach within the community. So okay. Um yeah so as a team as apart from building robots we also have a strong presence in our community. So I'll start with our local presence. Can we go to the next slide? So within Avito and
Semino we have a very strong local presence. So we like to go out to different schools and see how we can help them out. So we've actually helped either start or like support robotics programs at local schools here. Um Wilson Elementary, Parton Elementary, Lyman Institute. We're also with like Stensorm Elementary. And then apart from
robotics, we do STEM activities at schools. So, a lot of STEM nights we'll be out at presenting and um at Carolon weekly we go and help mentor their math team. So, we have a lot of local impact um in the community to essentially take what we've learned and spread it out
into the community. Um and then can we just go to the next slide? Uh one more. So, why this all matters for Avito? A veto has like so many STEM opportunities within it with a UCF near us and research park. So these STEM opportunities programs like first um
just help fuel STEM into the community and as a team we are able to give back from what we've learned and um introduce STEM to younger minds. So in in AVO kids are getting introduced to STEM in like elementary school uh school and learning skills that like they wouldn't learn
until college and other areas. So it just really it really improves the STEM and we left some statistics at your desk about how this program increases STEM involvement, increases like women in STEM. So it just leaves a really lasting impact on the city and its education as a whole. Thank you guys.
Yeah. And for anybody who is not already aware, the city of Ovido is the youth robotics capital of the world. It really is. And thank you for keeping it that way. I would love to get a picture of all of you guys huddled around your robot if you wouldn't mind kind of
coming around here and Okay. And the picture's up here, too. Okay, cool. Look up here. But I also want to get one because I just want to scrunch on the side. Can you come inside? So we got to
kind congratulations again guys. It really is amazing to to have gone all the way to world and rocked it. I should have shook everybody's hands out there. Girls in robotics and guys in robotics doesn't matter what
your gender is. Congratulations. I'm going in front of you, man. Oh, thank you. Great pres great great presentation, guys. like you do like all this stuff and you're talking too. Like that's that's the key. Thank you so much.
My son is Jack. They're so efficient. [Music] Everybody back up here. Okay, moving along. We are up to item number three, which is the approval of
the minutes for the July 7th, 2025 regular session. What is the pleasure of council? I'll make a motion to approve the minutes of July 7th, 2025 regular session. Second. We have a motion in a second. Any discussion? All those in favor, please signify by saying I. I.
I. All those against? Motion carries. At this point, we will move on to public comment. I do not have any written requests to speak. Is there anybody in the audience wishing to address council at this time? Hearing none, I will close public comment and we will move on to the
consent agenda. But before we do, um, if I am correct, the city manager, we are removing item number five. Correct. Okay. So, everybody good with that? Item number five is being tabled to a further meeting. Um, so the remaining consent agenda is items number six through 10.
What is the pleasure of council? I move we approve the consent agenda. Second. Have a motion in a second. Any discussion? Okay. Um, I will ask the clerk to call the role. Mayor Slick I. Council member Bterford I.
Deputy Mayor Tukurt. I. Council member Britain I. Council member Aut I. And the motion carries. Moving right along, we are up to our public hearing item number 11, which is resolution number 4631-25. Um,
uh, Mr. Vos, would you read the ordinance by title only? Oh, sorry, I read that wrong. Mr. Cob, my thank you, Deputy Mayor. This is a request for the council to approve the non-abalorum assessment role as well as
the annual rate resolution and authorized certification to the tax collector for the city street light light assessment program. Uh this is a requirement of state statute that um there's a couple of things annually that we have to do. One is that we have to
certify the tax role and the other thing is is that we have to have a public hearing and provide notice to folks who are receiving the assessment for the first time. So we have to basically update the the assessment role and update and adopt the rate resolution
annually because we have new residents and new businesses coming into the city uh each year. And so those notifications were sent out to advise that we were having the public hearing. There is no change to the city's rate. That is one of the things that uh wanted to make
clear that we aren't changing the rate. It's still uh $78.13 per equivalent unit. Uh there is still the uh as far as the private communities. They also have their they still have their discounted rate as well since they pay for their streets inside
their communities through their HOA. So, it's recommended tonight that the city council conduct a public hearing and adopt resolution number 4631-25. Thank you, Mr. Cobb. So, at this time, this is a public hearing. Do we have anybody who would like to address
council at this time on this topic? Hearing none, I will close public comment and ask if there is what is the pleasure of council. I move we adopt resolution number 4631-25. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Mayor Slick.
Council member Butterford. All right. Then I will ask the clerk to call the role. Mayor Slick. I. Council member Bterford. I. Deputy Mayor Tukurt. I. Britain. I. Council member. I. The motion carries.
Moving on to item number 12, ordinance number 1759, zoning map amendment for 3.8 acres. Let's see. Mr. Cobb, this would be Mr. I Mr. It would be Yeah, it would be for me to
read the title and turn. That's a Beckers. Thank you very much, Deputy Mayor. This is ordinance number 1759, an ordinance of the city of Ovito, Florida, amending the zoning map of approximately 3.8 acres of land generally located on the west side of Pine Avenue and
approximately 510 ft north of West Broadway Street. from residential R2 to residential R3, providing for legislative intent, implementing actions, a savings provision, scrier's errors, conflicts, and severability, and providing for an effective date. And
this is before you tonight for its first reading. Mr. Cob, uh, Miss Pierre is going to give the staff presentation. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Cobb. Good evening, mayor, deputy mayor, and council
members. Tonight, um, we are here to consider a change of zoning, which is the first reading, um, of a piece of property. It's about 3.88 acres from R2, which is residential, to R3. Um, and the applicant proposes to construct a 22
unit um, subdivision with duplexes. The applicant is Roy Jones. Next slide, please. So the future land use designation is medium density residential and there is no change proposed to the future land use designation. Um based on the maximum
dwelling units of medium density they could actually construct a total of 30 units and that is without the zoning change. If it were to remain R2 they could still construct a total of 30 dwelling units. So there's no change to the future land use. There's no change
to the maximum um of what they could actually construct. The applicant is proposing to construct a total of 22 units which equates to 11 duplexes on the property. So duplex is defined as two units on a single lot. Multif family
is more than one unit um on a single lot. So they are proposing multifamily. Um next slide the zoning. This is the existing zoning. You'll see the existing zoning is R2. Um, surrounding it is R2 as well. R2
does not allow for multif family, but it does allow duplexes. Next slide. So, the proposed zoning of R3 allows duplexes. It also allows multif family. Um, again, there's no change in the
maximum density of 30 dwelling units and the applicant proposes a total of 22 units. Next slide. So, I put the permissible uses table there, and you'll see I highlighted in yellow duplex, which is 1.4. Um, if you
look at R2, duplexes are permissible in R2 as well as in R3. Um, multifamily is not allowed in the R2, you'll see it's empty, which means that it's not allowed. Um, but multif family is allowed in the R3 zoning district. Next
slide. So this is the lot size standards and um if you look at the last two columns for R2 and R3 this is also in your report it shows a comparison to what is allowed under the existing R2 compared to the
R3. So we'll just briefly go over it. So the minimum lot size you'll see under R2 is 7500 square ft. There's no minimum lot size for the R3. Uh minimum lot width you'll see is 70 feet, but there isn't one for the R3. Um and then the
setback's going to be a little bit bigger in the R3 zoning district. You'll see the minimum front setback is 20 to 25 ft um with R2 when it's the front setback for R3 is 35. So you'll see the setbacks may be a little bigger um
especially on the side for the R3. And this is also in your report. Next slide. So, this is going to be the existing uses map to just show how it's compatible with um what's surrounding it. Um if you look to the north, it's
vacant. Um if you look to the west, you have the um Oak Hill Villas, which would be duplexes as well. Um to the south, it's vacant. Um north um you'll see some single family. Um there there's a
subdivision. and Ovito High School is to the east. Um so we look for compatibility and it is compatible to what's already there. You have duplexes which is just to the west of the um proposed subdivision. Next slide.
We also looked at the traffic generation and um if you look at the proposed compared to the existing it's the same because it's the same number of d maximum dwelling units which is 30. Um but if you look at what they're proposing which is 22 you'll see a
reduction in the traffic there. Next slide. So um the proposed R3 zoning district is consistent with the with the existing future land use designation of medium density residential. It's also
compatible with the surrounding land uses as well as existing uses. Next slide please. Um in terms of impacts, we saw a decrease in the impacts only because of um what the applicant is proposing to do
which is 22 compared to what they are allowed to do. So we saw a decrease in the traffic um as well as water and sewer. Um so those impacts have decreased based on what the applicant is proposing to do. Next slide.
staff recommends um approval of ordinance 1759 based on the um findings in the supporting data inventory and analysis. The local planning agency conducted a public hearing on July 29th and there recommended adoption of
ordinance 1759. So it is recommended that city council read ordinance 1759 by title only and schedule a public hearing for September 5th. This concludes staff's presentation and we're available for questions.
Thank you, Deputy Mayor. If I could just add one one thing, the the R2 residential zoning district anticipates that properties will be subdivided. In other words, that there would be creation of an 11 lot subdivision. There would be an individual duplex on each of the lots.
What the R3 zoning district does, it gives them more flexibility. It gives them the ability to develop it as a one consolidated uh campus you might say of like that was the reason why there were the staff was using the term multif family was because it would be developed on one tract of
land all 22 units on one tract of land rather than individual units with individual lots. So that that's really the big need for or the big request for reszoning the property to R3. The good news is is that it doesn't change anything as far as density. They can't
get any more uh density than they would if it was under the R2 zoning district. So, but that's the the primary reason is so that they can develop the property use utilizing one track all 22 units on one trackable land.
Okay. With that, I will ask what is the pleasure of council? I move we schedule ordinance uh 1759 for a public hearing uh on September 15, 2025. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion?
I I just have a little process question. This is just a zoning change. Uh is it anticipated this will come back to us as a a PUD or some other mechanism? If it did, it would require another zoning change. Uh the way that our code
is structured now, the the PUD is an actual zoning district. So if they came in as a PUD, it would be they would have to do another zoning ordinance. Okay. Thank you. I I have a couple of questions. Um, I'm still kind of unclear on what the
practical differences are um here because I I mean is is the only real difference that's that's desired um to not cut up this piece of land into multiple lots? And if so, I mean, it
sounds like it's desired that the owner would own all of them and rent them out, right? Could the owner not cut them all up and still own all of them? So, he's not planning to cut it up. He's planning to leave it as one lot. So, if
he were to subdivide it as our code would allow for duplexes or require for duplexes, it would only be two units on one lot. If he were to do that, he would not need this zoning change. So he's proposing to have one lot with all 22
units on that one lot and that's what it's then deemed as multif family. Multif family is not allowed in the R2 but it is allowed in the R3. So if he were to subdivide it he wouldn't need to go through this through the zoning.
Why does it he wants to rent it? Is it cheaper for the applicant to not subdivide into 11 lots and to instead consolidate into one and do a resoning? I mean, yeah. Is that what you're kind of getting? It's not really cheaper. It's It's
actually more expensive because he has a change of zoning application that he has to do. So, it's a change of zoning application. I don't see that it's cheaper. It's there's a process that it would probably be faster for him if he didn't go through the resoning and just
went straight to doing the duplexes. He would have a subdivision in that case. He would have to um plat his subdivision. Um so then there would be additional costs. There would be a cost, but there wouldn't be the zoning application. So if he were to do it as he's doing it
now, he has the reszoning application, but then he doesn't have the preliminary subdivision application. So either way he would have an application cost. I think the zoning may be more expensive than the PSP to tell you the truth. So then so then why do it?
He wants to rent it out. He doesn't want to sell those lots. But you could do the same thing if you subdivided. You could simply own all of them. Or is there something about that that's not allowed in our in some other code that I'm not? He could subdivide it and he could still
own it. He could still do the same thing. But he's he's choosing not to do that. And I'm not quite sure if it works with his business plan or not, but he he knows the options already because we've had pre-applications with him to explain what he would need to do if he wants to
do it either way. Um, but this is what he's choosing to do. The the real difference is is he's going to put in 22 units on that one lot versus maybe 30 on a subdivided portion. Yeah. So, he can build a maximum of 30.
he's choosing to to do 20 22 okay is what he's choosing to do. So what we look at is the impacts. We want to make sure that the impacts are not more he's not changing the future land use. So he's not requesting more density than what is typically allowed. This is what
he's deciding to do in terms of not subdividing or subdividing. Um the impacts are less for us. And so that's what we look at. We look to see if it's compatible. The product is still the same. the product is the same duplex that that is adjacent to it. So, it's
not like a threelevel um apartment complex and he can't achieve any more density than what the future land use allows. So, because it's a compatible the same product that's adjacent to it, it's just the way he decides to um build really is the lot
layout for him, but only the lot layout. Nothing in construction, only the lot layout, nothing in And so you're saying that it's um that the impact is less because it's 22 units over as opposed to 30, but but there's no developer agreement that that we would be that we'd be able
to hold him to that, right? So no, that was this question about the planned unit development. Yeah. So our planned unit developments, they have development agreements. This one is not. Um when we went through the land development code rewrite, um our R3, which is the
residential zoning district that he's applying for, the land development code committee um discussed whether or not they wanted to allow um R3 to be consistent with the medium density residential. Typically, it's it's cons consistent with the high density
residential, but when we went through the land development code rewrite, the land development c code board decided to allow R3 to be consistent with medium density residential as long as it did not exceed the density of the future
land use designation, which is eight dwelling units per acre. Um, so we the land development code committee is is responsible. Let's blame them. Is there any difference in the storm
water management between R2 and R3? He's still going to have to make sure and our public works department can can answer that question. He's still going to have to make sure that whatever is draining from his property um that it's the same. And I'm going to let public
works address that one because I'm not the expert in that area. So, we're just scheduling a public hearing tonight, right? That is correct. Yes. Okay. We're not having a public hearing. No, I didn't think so. But we could have some discussion in advance because people have asked questions and it is helpful to answer
these questions before the day that we're going to do the final vote. Where is the adjacent duplex that you're what direction from the lot? Pull it back up. So, it's Oakill Villas, which is to the west right there. To the west. Okay.
Those are all duplexes. Yes, sir. Okay. Just just curious. Okay. And council member, you did have the floor, so did you have any final questions? Uh, yeah. So, uh, and and and just because I I want to I want to be sure we're talking about the same thing here. When you talk about things being less or this being having less impact than what
they could build, the fact that there's no developer agreement, there there is nothing binding saying that once this is changed to R3 that this owner or future owner could not build attached houses all the way down in in one building or
something like that. That's the reason why we always tell you the maximum the maximum that could um be devel developed on the property which is 30. So that is the maximum. So with zoning in terms of um conventional zoning we do not have a
development agreement for that and we can't put restrictions on zonings unless it's a planned unit development with a development agreement where the developer is agreeing to the conditions. So this is a straight zoning. Um, so we tell you the maximum just in case um
this person decides to sell the property um to someone else. They can they cannot exceed the maximum of 30 dwelling units per acre dwelling unit. They could exceed the 22 that's being proposed right now. That is correct. Okay. I think that's all I have for today. Okay.
Okay. Any further questions? Then I'll ask the clerk to call April. Mayor Slate. Hi. Council member Bodterford. I. Deputy Mayor Tukurt. I. Council member Britain. I. Council member Aut. I. The motion carries. So we will have that
public hearing on September 15th. Okay. Moving on. We are up to our resolutions on item number 13, which is resolution number 4633-25. Mr. Cob. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. Um, Mr. I'm
sorry, Miss Buoie, could you pull up uh the I want to make exhibit one for this resolution and go all the way to the last page. Thank you. And what I would like you to
do, if you can zoom into the house. That's good. If you could pull it up just a little bit. Okay. Council, what I wanted to show you on this, this is a request to approve a uh right-of-way agreement with the property owner of this property. And the reason I wanted
to show the red line that you see on that map is the um that's the rideway line for Doctor's Drive. Uh as you can see that the house does encroach into the ride ofway. Uh the applicant had approached the city on a u pre-lication
conference to talk about uh dividing the property into two lots as it with a lot split. Uh that was when the survey showed that the house actually sits within the right of way. And also if you see the green there's the there's a
little green line that runs down between the house and the pavement. Uh that is a that is the fence for the for the property. Now the good news about all of this is that if you drive out there you will notice that the fence is nowhere is
not near the uh the roadway itself as far as the pavement is concerned. So there is no impact on the pavement. Uh the house is also set back from the pavement. So there's no impact there as well. And so what this agreement does is
it it allows the building to stay in that location. Uh the applicant the property owner also the fence can stay in that location as well. The um the
they can't increase it. That would they also had to uh they have to provide uh general liability insurance of a million dollars for it. uh they have to identify the city as well as part of this agreement and the um the encroachments
can be maintained but they cannot be increased. So that's what this allows. It also if the city ever needs to use the ride ofway then the city can use the ride ofway. Uh it is recommended that the city council adopt resolution number 4633-25. One of the things I wanted to add to I
believe the house was originally built in the 50s. I think it was expanded in 1975, which was really before we had a land development code. We didn't have a land development code until 1989. So, um it's understandable how this could this could have happened. And so, but I wanted to this right here is the the
base reason for this is that uh we basically it would be not feasible to pick the house up and move it. So, um to it's recommended that the city council adopt resolution number 4633-25. Thank you, Mr. F. What is the pleasure
of councel? I move we adopt resolution number 4633-25. Second. We have a motion in a second. Any discussion? It's got to be done. All right. I'll ask the clerk to call the role. Mayor Slater I. Council member Broaderford.
I. Deputy Mayor Tugert. I. Council Britain. I. Council member I. The motion carries. Moving on to item number 14. Resolution number 4599-25. the Seminal County City of Oto Mobility Fe Interlocal Agreement. Mr. Cobb.
Uh thank you, Deputy Mayor. If you'll recall back uh in May, uh the council first considered this and you continued your uh consideration to the OC to the actually and uh it but you also had a
work session on it in June. In June, you gave us some things to go to the county and discuss with them. Uh there were three main points. Uh a lot of it dealt with one of them dealt with if the county uh had not spent the money within
five years that it would give the money back to the city and then there would be an additional two years in which we could utilize the money before it would have to go back to the fee payer. Uh we had a discussion about the 25% that the county receives uh because this mobility fee does cover both city and county and
the idea is one mobility fee for for our benefit district and that the 25% collected would be spent here in our benefit district. And then uh also there was a a direction to discuss joint funding. Uh Mr. Vos and I met with the
county staff on July the 14th and they agreed to two of the three uh points that we did discuss with them. the one that they had um they had they wanted us to go back and look at for look at get some additional information was
regarding uh the 25% and so uh we did meet with Mr. Paul, we talked about the use of the monies within the district. Uh, one of the things that the the county had expressed a concern about was the spending of county money inside the
city that their study did not look at city in what was going on inside the city. They only looked at outside the city and counties projects outside the city. So, there was a concern. Uh, but in meeting with Mr. Paul, he gave us some very good good information on how
what we were asking for was actually covered within our study. Um, Mr. Bose, he met with the county attorney on the 7th of August and had more discussions with them and uh did wonderful uh
bringing it all together. Um, Miss Booby, if you could pull up attachment one for this resolution. Here we go. If you could move down to what this this attachment one shows you the various changes that we were
recommending. This was the resolution that was presented to you in May. And if you just go down until you see a a change uh that that's really that's not a huge one. Let's keep on going. Uh okay, stop right there. One of the things here uh one of the things we also
talked about I forgot to mention was uh joint projects. That was something that council asked us to talk about and we did and the count the county actually thought it was a great idea that you know that we could look at coming together with our mobility fees and to fund our mobility plans. Uh so but with
this one here it's the the change to this whereas is basically providing that the county collect the county fees collected will be spent in the district and that's their fees spent in the district. So, if they collect the fees in the district, they're going to spend
it in the district. That I I got to give props to Mr. Vos on that one because that was a big deal for them that they would actually not their ordinance allows them to go spend it elsewhere. But if there's funds, if there's fees collected inside of our benefit
district, it'll be spent here. And Miss M, if we could go on down a little bit further. Uh, let's hold up right there. Um, this was one of the things here. You can see there unless the city has entered into a fair share agreement. Uh that this was all talking about the payment when when the payments would be
made and sometimes both city and county we do work with developers. There'll be a request for um can I pay it at CO rather than building permit or should I like with our ordinance we allow you can set up a 12-month payment plan. And so
this allows us, this takes that into account that both city and county could have agreements with developers that would apply that would arrange for other other times of paying the fee. If we could go down a little bit further, please. Okay, this one here, this change uh
there is to is so that we can do joint funding of of pro of eligible projects. And then shortly after that is the part where if the county has not spent the money in five years, it'll return it back to the city. Then the city has two
years to spend the money. If the city doesn't spend the money within the two years, then it would go back to the fee payer. And if we could All right. And you want to explain that one? Sure. Absolutely. This is uh council members, good evening. Uh this uh provision was
uh the bulk of what was uh added uh in addition to the other pieces the city manager has gone through. This is the provision relating to the county's collection of its own mobility fees within the uh city's extr territorial
uh juris extr territorial district the uh portion of the Ovido study area outside of the municipality. Um this this is the active provisions that that require them to collect that fee except
when they have a deferral reason very similar to the other language you uh saw previously uh relating to the city. they collect uh their county mobility fee and then county mobility fees that are collected within the extr territorial
area have to be spent within either the uh city of Bvito extrur territorial area or within the city of Bvito itself. So basically it takes those county mobility fees that could otherwise wander off to
anywhere within the suburban uh county suburban area within the county and keeps it right in the Ovito study area and council. There are some other minor things that we have uh that have been put in there that wording and and
renumbering and things like that, but uh they're not they're not these were the primary major things that we were able to work out with the county. Uh we had great meetings with the county attorney and the assistant county manager. Uh I really appreciate the time that they gave the two of us as we as we worked
with them and uh we recommend that the city council adopt resolution number 4599-25. Thank you, Mr. Cobb. What is the pleasure of council? I move we adopt resolution 4599-25. Second. We have a motion and a second.
Any discussion? Council member Rock. Uh, yeah. So, I spoke with uh Mr. Fos and Mr. Cobb um earlier today about about this. There's there's one paragraph in there that um seems to be uh has seems to have become redundant
with the changes and perhaps opens up some ambiguity. Would you like to speak to that, Mr. Vos? I appreciate it. Thank you, council member. M, could you pull that document back up and go up the go back? Whoa. Whoa. Come back down. Come back down. Come back down. Right here. Yes.
That's There you go. The paragraph that begins with in the event. Yes. So, um, Council Member Ro had a chance to speak with both of us earlier today concerning the paragraph starting there in the event. Um, and that
basically that was a paragraph that was more relevant in the prior uh draft of of uh the whole business of the county getting the money and then giving it back to the uh city by the by the time
the uh uh relevant time period has run. Because we've changed that to be the uh a fiveyear window and then we get it back in the balance of the seven-year window. the city has an opportunity to spend that um that paragraph kind of
becomes a little bit of surplusage if you will doesn't do much anymore. uh it doesn't I don't think it leaves any harm if it sits there but um to avoid any ambiguity I did suggest that if it was the direction of the council you could
approve if it's the will of the council to approve the interlocal tonight you could approve the interlocal with direction that that paragraph uh in consultation with the county attorney's office either be deleted entirely or uh it be revised to be consistent with the
most uh recent revisions to the draft basically either make it completely go away or if there's any minor concern uh that the county attorney's office may have concerning it that the language be tweaked just to be consistent with that. The county attorney's office was just
trying to make sure that the county if they did everything right with the piece of money that they got within the right period of time or they gave it back that they don't have to worry about it years later if some unrel issue unrelated to them uh pops up concerning the same
developer or what have you. So given that I would like to amend my motion. Um, so I would like to amend my motion to say to adopt resolution 4599-25
and in addition, um, direct, uh, staff, uh, and the city attorney to either delete or revise page five, paragraph 2, beginning with in the event, O veto,
to be uh, consistent with the other changes that are being made to this document and I agree with those changes. So the second stands we have a new motion and a second. Is there any further discussion on that?
Council member mayor, I could not be more elated with how this has turned out. Thank you guys for going back to the county and thank you to my colleagues for pausing when this came to us a few months ago. This is light years better than before and I think it's really fair and I think it'll be good
for not just the city of Ovito but for the residents of Simol County who are going to benefit from that provision being in there that that all that money is going to be spent in the most urban places that we know from our study are going to make the biggest impact.
Uh Council Member Britain, I'm good. Council member Potter, I'm good. And I also agree with you. I think this is a huge one and it's a lot more equitable for us and the county. So, uh, with that, I'll ask the clerk to call a role.
Council member, I, Mayor Slidic, I, Deputy Mayor Tugert, I. Council member Bford, I. Council member Britain, I. The motion carries. All right. We do not have any discussion items, so we are up to the city manager's report.
Uh, thank you, Deputy Mayor. I just had one thing. Uh I attended the League of Cities conference last week and I uh it was actually a very very good learning um session for myself. I was able to
attend a number of sessions that of topics that I have interest in. I attended a topics uh sessions on AI um and the pitfalls that could occur with it and the greatness that can occur with it. I also the uh general sessions
the speakers in the general sessions were very motivating at least from my perspective and what I was reading out of them and also attended a session on emotional intelligence which I got another really a lot of good information
out of and even um self-reflection on how I do things uh and so it was very in very instructional to me and so I just wanted to say that It was a good session for myself and uh got a lot out of it.
Uh up to the city attorney's report. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. Um very sorry I wasn't able to be with you at your CRA meeting earlier today. I was held up both in Indianapolis and in Atlanta. Um but glad I was able to make it for this. I don't have anything else to report.
Okay, Council Member Britain. Uh let's go back to the uh the annual conference. I I agree with Mr. Cobb. was a great conference. I did attend a an advisory committee meeting on property taxes and took away a couple nuggets.
One is that demographically there's good news and bad news. Uh one, most people are are not too overconerned with the property taxes that they're being taxed on unless you ask them. So that's that's
one side of it. But the other side is when you ask them about property insurance, they go off the chart. So from a legislative standpoint, the league feels that the the the state legislators need to tackle the property insurance issue before they start
tackling property tax issues. So we may have some time to to deal with that. uh they did a great job of presenting what our property taxes go to, what they what they're spent on, and and the value of those, being able to use those as a
general fund at our discretion for public safety. For one thing, uh they have a lot of data that they they can provide us, and I'm I'm trying to look up the uh the charts they used in their presentation. If I get those, I'll send them out to you. It was very good
information. So, uh other than that, um the uh I didn't attend the AI, uh session, but I did do the AI survey that the the league put out, and they're they're going to do a lot of research on the value of AI and the the pitfalls of
AI. So, I did fill out that that that survey. Uh let's see what else we got here. I did notice that the sidewalk repairs on Mitchell Hammock are are being done. It's a lot more than what I thought they were going to do based on riding it, but
it looks like they're doing quite a quite a good job out there. And I guess that's going to take a couple days to get done. Uh they're moving out on it. And um I did have a suggestion for public works. I meant uh talked to Bobby Day about maybe putting Ballards up between the the uh straight lane and the
turn lane on Lockwood Boulevard because I'm seeing a lot of people that'll that'll switch over to the turn lane and then when the light turns green they they cut across the lane into the the straight lane and sooner or later someone's going to run into someone and that's going to be a bad day. So just a
suggestion on that and that's all I have. Thanks. Okay. Uh next up is my report and I want to start out by saying you know we have that robotics team out here every year and I'm always amazed how they get almost every one of the students to speak and they're very well spoken.
That's really hard to do. Um, and I know uh Mr. Britain and I always talk about they are literally learning theories we learned in college for engineering degrees. So, it's always impressive. Trainers doing kinematics. Yeah, it's pretty impressive. So, hats off to them. Um, I know our uh SRO,
Officer Pierce, uh, made the news again. So, she's she's always doing a great job over there at Lton and it's really impressive to see how much community outreach our police department does. So, um, good to see that continuing on. And I do want to talk about League of Cities as well. Um, out of the past three years
that I've been, I really do think this was like one of the best ones. So, I did the ethics in person, too. It was one of the best taught ethics course as well, too. I pretty much no one nodded off, which we all know is impressive. Um, so they had a good spin on it, too. And then I did go to the AI session, which
is really interesting. I know Mr. Cobb attended as well. So, um, I've got my hands on a few AI things in the past, but they really approached it from a government standpoint of the laws associated with it. So, it was interesting to see uh the uh city
manager from Altoont, Frank Mars, gave a presentation, and then you had the attorney come up and say, so everything he just said kind of triggers this law and what we need to look out for. So, things like public records, keeping track of every iteration when you're
making AI programming. Um, so I know they were saying a lot of cities are going to have to start putting policies in place to kind of get out ahead of this. and they they had like a chart of six things we need to make policies on to do that. So I know we were talking about that and that will be coming for
us as well too. So and I I agree with Mr. Britain too. the the head speaker was John Meechum and he was possibly the best speaker I've ever heard out of the different conferences I've gone to and he really did a great job speaking about
leadership and how politicians should help make the world a better place which we all know we could use a little bit more of right now. So we did have all seven cities in Seminal County. I think I saw some reps from every single one but it was a really good conference and they did talk a lot about property tax.
So the league, especially these upcoming years versus in the past, will be doing a lot more advocacy because of property tax potentially being on the ballot. So um and they did put out some good stats. I think there was a QR code. So uh the
charts council member Brin's looking for that had a lot of details. So we'll share that around when we find it. Um and with that, it is up to Mayor Slate. I love hearing you guys talk about the advocacy angle of League of Cities. uh because that really is where the oomph
is. Um and I know Mr. Britain and I usually are part of the advocacy legislative action thing is has anybody else signed up for that because there are I think there are five different committees. So each one of us could be on a different one and that's usually how they they rig it up. They try to not
have any two people from the same city in the same legislative committee so we don't have any sunshine issues to worry about. Um, but I do want to encourage everybody to maybe get involved in that. The first meeting for those is September 26. So, there's one in September,
October, and then the last one is in December, and they're all here in Orlando. So, for all of us who are in Central Florida, it's it's pretty easy to get over there. It is. Which committees are you guys on? Uh, I am on taxation. Whatever one is the most taxy.
Okay. You know, which I Well, they they can change every year, but I've been on the inter intergovernmental relations committee for as long as I can remember. I just like to say on that one. Okay. If we could just I don't know maybe figure out Yeah. figure out which So I I
think I I I did a stint on I've done one I've done at every single committee and then I landed on this and re it is it is my my jam now that I've tried them all. Um, but yeah, if if we start rotating around and figure out how to get all of us involved in that, I think it could be
really, really potent. And uh, then that kind of leads into the Tallahassee trip in March. So, just keep it on your back burner. Other things that have not been covered yet, want to give a shout out to Miss Rivera and Miss Buu for helping figure
out how to get the water letters out on time. Uh, we've gotten some really positive uh, feedback so far. people have received them and been calling in to ask for for help and and how to figure out how to have lower bills. So, I think that's going to be a positive
thing that we got going there. Uh coming up on Thursday, there is an Eat Oto Challenge followup. I believe this is number 158. So, the 158th restaurant we visited since September. And anybody who
wants to swing by that is at 12 o'clock noon at Big Taco which is in the LA Fitness Song Birds Plaza. And that's all I've got. Okay. Council member, I don't have anything specific. Okay. Council member Bford.
Uh yeah. So I'd like to give kudos to our parks and recck department for that relay for life. I mean, $30,000 raised for the found something like that that go out. 20,000 to American Cancer Society and 10,000 to Helpful Hands. Again, two two key uh charity groups
that you know they they stay involved with. And that Relay for Life I think is we've done that now what 15 20 years. Well, the golf tournament I think what 17 years 17 years they've been doing Relay for Life for as long as I've been
20 at least. It's 20. Yes. Yeah. So, again, hat hats off to them and it's a big big event to obviously organize. They do a great job every year. Uh it usually is sold out. Again, to that robotics team, 7477,
very impressive. Uh smart smart kids in this this area. And again, uh seeing what they're doing and how they were able to talk. I mean, the self-confidence, the teamwork, um again, a lot of the attributes that they're training those kids. So, that was really nice. And then lastly, again, the our
school resource officer, Officer Pierce, you know, and and Xander, uh, it's a great story. And then her pantry at the, uh, at the middle school, uh, she said on that story about, you know, wants to make an impact in the community, and she certainly does. So again, hats off to
again both fire and police. You guys have a lot of people on your teams that do that kind of stuff and stay very active in the community, and we do appreciate everything you guys do. And that's all I got. Okay, we are up to future meeting dates. So, our next meetings are Monday, August
25th at 5:30 p.m. We have a work session. Uh, Thursday, September 4th at 6:30 p.m. we have a regular session. And I believe you guys are coming in. We will be zooming in. Zooming in. Okay. But that's on a Thursday. So, keep that on your
calendars. And then Monday, September 15th at 6:30 p.m. we'll have a regular session. And then Monday, September 22nd at 5:30 p.m. tenative. We have a tenative work session. I'm hoping we don't have one, but a tenative. Okay. Is there anything else for the
good of the order? It is 7:35
