CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of October 28, 2013 — Regular Meeting Page 7 of 13 9. RESOLUTIONS A. Resolution 13 -2544 — F1exBus Interlocal Agreement with the Cities of Altamonte Springs, Longwood, and Maitland The City Clerk read Resolution 13 -2544 by title as follows: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITIES OF ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, LONGWOOD, AND MAITLAND FOR THE FLEXBUS DEMONSTRATION PROJECT; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILI TY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Mr. Newlon advised that the Commission workshop last week had oriented the Commission on this issue, but Assistant Public Works Director /City Engineer Kelly Brock was available for questions. Discussion: Commissioner Fry expressed some concerns about this issue relating to expansion, funding and what he perceived to be bureaucratic defense of the project, noting he had also voiced some of the same concerns at last week's workshop. Audience Participation: No one came forward to address Resolution 13 -2544. Budget Impact: The Interlocal Agreement will formally commit a total of $139,866 from the City of Casselberry towards FlexBus. Sufficient funding for this has already been allocated in Fiscal Year 2014 in the Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT) fund #109-0710-541.34-00. Recommendation: Staff and attorneys from all four cities worked cooperatively to reach consensus on the wording of the Interlocal Agreement. Casselberry staff, therefore, finds it acceptable to meet the City's needs. However, since this is a critical milestone in the broader context of the project that will formally commit funds (and significant staff time), staff is seeking guidance from the City Commission on this item. MOTION: Commissioner Aramendia moved to approved Resolution 13 -2544, as presented. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Hufford. Motion carried by voice vote 4 -1, Commissioner Fry dissenting. 10. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES No items were presented for consideration on this agenda. City Clerk Donna Gardner advised the City Commission that the public hearing would need to be deferred until after the advertised 5:00 p.m. time. A brief discussion ensued regarding how to proceed with the agenda to accommodate the 5:00 p.m. advertised public hearing time.
