FLORIDA, BY REVISING FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT POLICY 1.6.1 (a), BY

PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT
Revise Policy 1.6.1 (a) to add the following:
(5)
Residential Riverfront - Magnolia Cove (>12.1 to 20 dwelling units per
acre) - This category is for property identified by the Clay County Property
Appraiser in the 2015 Tax Rolls as Parcel #017 494-000-00, is located on
the St. Johns River and can be developed for single-family, duplex, and
multi-family dwelling units and a marina and shall be developed through
the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning category process.
BACKGROUND:
In 2007, Ordinance No. 0-20-2007 was adopted rezoning the
subject property to PUD, Planned Unit Development. The Future Land Use Map
designation for the property in 2007 was RHO, Residential High Density, allowing 12
units per acres, the highest density allowed in the City at that time.
Since the PUD for the parcel was approved the MURP, Mixed Use Reynolds Park, and
the RRF, Residential Riverfront, Future Land Use Map (FLUM) categories have been
created and added to the Comprehensive Plan. The MURP FLUM category allows up
to 40 dwelling units per acre and the RRF FLUM category allows for 20 dwelling units
per acre. The MURP is restricted to Reynolds Park and a minimum of 10 acres is
required for the Residential Riverfront FLUM category. The subject parcel is 7.3 acres
in size.
With the current economic conditions, the owners of the property now feel that they
need to increase density to allow for more dwelling units to make the project viable.
The proposed Text Amendment would increase the allowable density from 12 dwelling
units per acre to 20 dwelling units per acre. The proposed text amendment would limit
the FLUM category to Parcel #017 494-000-00 owned by Magnolia Cove, LLC and
would require the development to be approved through the PUD zoning process. The
existing RRF FLUM category requires a PUD zoning for development of any property in
the category.
The City, as per City Code and State Statute, advertised the text amendment in the
Clay Today on March 12, 2015, mailed notices to surrounding property owners within a
300' radius of the property, and posted signs on the property notifying of the public
hearing.
STAFF COMMENTS
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
The proposed text amendment is consistent with the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of
the 2025 Comprehensive Plan. It would promote orderly development of the subject
property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Ordinance
No. 0-08-2015 on second and final reading, an Ordinance revising Policy 1.6.1 (a) of
the Comprehensive Plan to add the Residential Riverfront - Magnolia Cove FLUM
category.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning
Board held a Public Hearing on the Ordinance at their meeting of March 26, 2015.
There were no comments received at the Public Hearing. A motion was made to
recommend to the City Council adoption of an Ordinance to amend Comprehensive
Plan Policy 1.6.1 (a) to add the Residential Riverfront - Magnolia Cove FLUM category.
The vote was unanimous.
MOTION: Approve Ordinance No. 0-08-2015 on second and final reading.

CURRENT ZONING:
PUD
CURRENT FLUM DESIGNATION:
RHO, Residential High Density
SURROUNDING LAND USE:
RMD, Residential Medium Density
CHI, Commercial High Intensity
CON, Conservation
BACKGROUND:
In 2007, Ordinance No. 0-20-2007 was adopted rezoning the
subject property to PUD, Planned Unit Development. The Future Land Use Map
designation for the property in 2007 was RHO, Residential High Density, allowing 12
.units per acres, the highest density allowed in the City at that time.
Since the PUD for the parcel was approved, the MURP, Mixed_Use Reynolds Park, and
the RRF, Residential Riverfront, Future Land Use Map (FLUM) categories have been
created and added to the Comprehensive Plan. The MURP FLUM category allows up
to 40 dwelling units per acre and the RRF FLUM category allows for 20 dwelling units
per acre. The MURP is restricted to Reynolds Park and a minimum of 10 acres is
required for the Residential Riverfront FLUM category. The subject parcel is 7.3 acres
in size.
With the current economic conditions, the owners of the property now feel that they
need to increase density to allow for more dwelling units to make the project viable. A
text amendment is being proposed which would increase the allowable density from 12
dwelling units per acre to 20 dwelling units per acre. This FLUM amendment is to
change the FLUM designation of the property from RHO, Residential High Density, to
RRF, Residential Riverfront Magnolia Cove.
The City, as per City Code and State Statute, advertised the text amendment in the
Clay Today on March 12, 2015, mailed notices to surrounding property owners within a
300' radius of the property, and posted signs on the property notifying of the public
hearing.
STAFF COMMENTS
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
A companion text amendment is being proposed for the property.
If the text
amendment is adopted, the proposed FLUM amendment is consistent with the Goals,
Objectives, and Policies of the 2025 Comprehensive Plan. It would promote orderly
development of the subject property and is compatible with the surrounding land uses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Ordinance
No. 0-09-2015 on second and final reading, an Ordinance amending the FLUM
designation for the property with Tax ID # 017494-000-00 from RHO, Residential High
Density to RRF, Residential Riverfront- Magnolia Cove.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Zoning
Board held a Public Hearing on the Ordinance at their meeting of March 26, 2015.
There were no comments received at the Public Hearing. A motion was made to
recommend to the City Council adoption of an Ordinance to amend the FLUM
designation for the property with Tax ID# 017494-000-00 from RHO, Residential High
Density to RRF, Residential Riverfront - Magnolia Cove. The vote was unanimous.
MOTION: Approve Ordinance No. 0-09-2015 on second and final reading.

Mayor Hampshire acknowledged her request saying she was welcome to install her own fence to
which Ms. Roberts declined, as she believed it was the City's responsibility. Ms. Judd stated the
City would look into her request and asked that she be allowed to consider other options noting
that this part of the project would not be happening anytime soon.
There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed.

Approval of a Major Special Event Application from the Orange Park Rotary Club for the
Community First Credit Union American Pie July 4th Celebration to be held in Reynolds
Park. Judd
Discussion ensued with the City Council regarding approval of a Major Special Event Application
from the Orange Park Rotary Club for the Community First Credit Union American Pie July 4th
Celebration to be held in Reynolds Park as presented by Ms. Judd.
Mayor Hampshire recognized Jim Cribb, Orange Park Rotary Club, who gave an overview of past
events held in Orange Park, the proposed event, and their requests from the City. Mr. Cribb
confirmed that an event would also be held at the Moosehaven in Orange Park.
Vice Mayor Royal reminded that this was an event for the County, along with each municipality,
and asked Mr. Cribb to consider requesting funds from the County.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY VICE MAYOR ROYAL TO APPROVE THE MAJOR SPECIAL
EVENT APPLICATION AND PAY $2,500 TOWARDS THE POLICE [OVERTIME] . THE MOTION
WAS SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER TIMBERLAKE.
Under discussion of the Motion, and in reply to Council Member Lewis' inquiry, Ms. Judd advised
there was approximately $10,000 left in the Contingency Fund. Vice Mayor felt this was an
investment in the City. Council Member Timberlake hoped that the Rotary Club would be able to
come before the Council earlier next year so, if possible, funds could be built into the budget.
Council Member Braly expressed his concern of the City spending $19,000,000 for a Wastewater
Treatment Plant versus $2,500 for this event. Ms. Judd asked that the City Council confirm when
making their motion that the other requests including the banners and barricades would be the
responsibility of the Rotary Club. The City could accommodate the banners but only in an 8' x 2'
size at the Wager Triangle and Esplanade Avenue locations.
NAYS- NONE.
Mayor Hampshire announced that the City Council would now address Council Business Item No. 7.

Cost Estimates for demolition and/or relocation of the Old Police Station located at 205
Spring Street Null I Thomas
Discussion ensued with the City Council regarding cost estimates for demolition and/or relocation
of the Old Police Station located at 205 Spring Street as presented by Mr. Null.
Mayor Hampshire recognized Peter Hundt, 3526 Shinnecock Lane, who believed the City should
plan for the future of the whole site and suggested a major restaurant be allowed to locate on the
property.
Mayor Hampshire recognized Luke Byrne, 3682 Baltusrol Court, who believed the City should
find the money to clean the site so any prospective developer would have a clean pallet to work
with.
Mayor Timberlake suggested the City Council have Staff:
•
•
•
•
•
look into the current Cl P budget;
look at where we are year to date;
look at what we anticipate to occur throughout the balance of the year;
look and see where we are going to be from a cash flow perspective against the CIP
budget to see if there is money that would become available in the latter parts of this
fiscal year to go ahead and demolish the building and remove it from the property; and
have Staff come back with that set of facts and the Council make a decision on how we
proceed .
A MOTION WAS SO MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER TIMBERLAKE.
SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS.
THE MOTION WAS
Further discussion included the following points:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Work the cost of the demolition into the fee structure of any prospective lease;
Costs for demolition and relocation had been presented to the City Council;
Costs for any potential renovation had been presented to the City Council;
No further City funds would be spent on the maintenance of the building;
Address during the upcoming budget workshops;
No need for any type of restaurant in the Park when other properties are available in the
City; and
Take out building and put in green space.
Mayor Hampshire recognized Joe Sobotta, 212 North Street, who questioned why the City could
not investigate having City employees and the Fire Department burn the building down. He also
agreed to no restaurant in the Park. He hoped that the City would someday own the two (2) full
blocks for the Park and not allow private enterprise in the public park.
Ms. Judd noted the building had asbestos in it and she would not allow any City employee in
there. If the City Council was not going to maintain the structure or spend $500,000 to rehab it,
her recommendation was that it really needed to be demolished.
Council Member Timberlake clarified his motion to:
•
•
Look at the CIP budget
To look at what is currently planned to be spent between now and the end of the year;
and
Page 6of13
•
What will actually be spent; what the cash flows would be; and whether or not there
would be money in the GIP budgets to support the demolition of the building at roughly
$37,000-$38,000.
Ms. Judd attempted to clarify Council Member Timberlake's comment for Vice Mayor Royal such
that the plan for using funds that may not be expended from other capital projects be carried over
from FY 2015 to FY 2016 for this capital project. Vice Mayor Royal disagreed and wanted to
delay this item until the City Council could look at it during the Budget Workshop.
Mayor Hampshire clarified that the motion was to only "look at" this issue for possible funding
resolutions. Ms. Judd further clarified that the key policy decision was whether or not the City
Council wanted to demolish the building.
AN AMENDED MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER TIMBERLAKE TO DEMOLISH
THE BUILDING AND THAT WE LOOK TO SEE IF MONEY IS AVAILABLE IN THIS FISCAL
YEAR'S BUDGET TO DO IT AND, IF NOT, THEN IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT GOES IN
THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. THE AMENDED MOTION WAS SECONDED BY COUNCIL
MEMBER LEWIS.
Council Member Braly acknowledged the costs involved with the removal of the asbestos and
agreed the building needed to be demolished. Vice Mayor agreed with demolishing the building
but reiterated his opposition to looking at it in this fiscal year versus going through the upcoming
budget process.
LEWIS, ROY M. TIMBERLAKE, JR., AND MAYOR C. FELECIA HAMPSHIRE. NAYS - VAN
ROYAL.
Ms. Judd clarified the intent of the Motion that passed on a 4-1 vote was to demolish the structure
and come back in the 3rd quarter and give the City Council an update on the General Government
GIP. The funding source that would pay for any unanticipated expense would have to come from
the General Government side of the equation, i.e. Surtax or Depreciation Reserve. She would
not put off any GIP project for Water, Sewer, or Electric.
Mayor Hampshire passed the gavel to Vice Mayor Royal at 8:53 p.m. and briefly exited the meeting and
re-entered the meeting at 8:56 p.m .

How is the City going to pay for it? There are a variety of funding sources and
combinations of sources; Engage professionals to assist with funding sources;
When will it be done? Is this a phased project? Construction costs will not go down
before 2019;
Is this a closed system?
How much would fees be increased? Suggestion of $20 per household; This would be
determined at a later point in the project; The City Manager believes the debt service
would be about $475,000; City's current rates are considerably less than CCUA;
This project is also predicated on sending reuse to Magnolia Point Golf Course; Hole #9
is not included in the calculations;
Future PUD developments and re-development of Reynolds Industrial Park have to be
considered;
Maintenance costs exceed $200,000 per year until a new treatment plant goes online;
This project is not an "if", but "when"; The City needs an Advanced Wastewater Plant;
The City needs to plan a timeline to be presented at a hearing in Tallahassee in August;
the process also includes this project coming back to the Council many times over the
next several years;
Council needs to look at the Wastewater Master Plan and allow Staff to revise the GIP;
The three (3) parts to this equation are Reuse, Consolidation, and Advanced Wastewater
Treatment Plant;
There is a certain degree of urgency; There has been too much done and the City
Manager does not want to leave this project undone, This project cannot "not" be done;
and
The City cannot grow without this plant.

The City Council should send a letter to the General Counsel and CEO of FMPA with
copies to the Board of Directors and Executive Committee expressing the City's
continued concerns and that the City is put off by the fact that the General Counsel and
CEO did not show up to the Committee Hearing in Tallahassee.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER TIMBERLAKE TO HAVE THE CITY SEND A
LETTER TO FMPA, SPECIFICALLY THE GENERAL COUNSEL AND CEO, AND INDICATE TO
THEM THAT AS A MEMBER CITY OF THE ORGANIZATION, WE ARE PUT OFF BY THE FACT
THAT THEY DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE MEETING WHEN THEY HAD BEEN ASKED TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE MEETING. THEY REPRESENT THE CITY AND THEY REPRESENT
THE CITY TO OUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND EVERYBODY ELSE INVOLVED; AND
LIKEWISE, IT SHOULD BE COPIED TO EVERY OTHER MEMBER CITY IN THE FMPA. THE
MOTION WAS SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS.
Under discussion of the Motion, the following points were discussed:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The audit and the response by FMPA not being there would cost the City and every other
participatory city;
The costs to leave FMPA is prohibitive to the City;
FMPA has to be held accountable;
FMPA should be able to provide the Part A and Part B costs to every member city on an
annual basis;
The City Manager and Mr. Page felt a trip to Tallahassee was in order; and
The City Manager believes this is a multi-year issue and governance is the first issue that
should be addressed and the City can take the lead;
With several things coming to an end in 2017, the City Manager was concerned about
FMPA making additional commitments;
The City has exercised the option to stop the self-renewal process and have an end date;
and
Page 10 of 13
•
Clarification was needed to tell the City what its exit costs would be; 2% of the $1.6 $1.7 billion debt, or $34 million, plus the Stranded Costs (Part B) of $35 million would be
the City's costs; the City's outside counsel had previously advised the City that this cost
would probably end up being about half of this amount.
NAYS- NONE.

Mr. Page further advised the City Council about Amendment No. 1, which would be on the 2016
Ballot regarding the promotion of solar power in the State. He would provide the information with
the City Manager to be shared with the residents. June is "Clean Air Month" and the EPA is
going to decide what to do about all the regulation for clean air. FMPA currently cannot meet
those EPA requirements even if they shut down all of their coal operations and used only their
gas plants. He stated they are one of the best utilities in Florida as far as clean air is concerned
and believed prices would increase.
Mayor Hampshire recognized Pat Garlinghouse, 103 S. Magnolia Avenue, who requested the City
Council consider hiring an architectural reclaim company for the Old Police Station.

Discussion ensued with the City Council regarding the Ordinance as presented by Ms. Fleet.
FOR THE SECOND AND FINAL READING OF THE ORDINANCE FOR APRIL 21 8 T. THE
Under discussion of the Motion, Vice Mayor Royal expressed his opposition to the Ordinance
stating he felt the City was premature in ruling out the possibility of getting the County's help at
some point in time on that piece of property. He did not believe the County would participate in a
joint partnership if they did not have a stake in the property. Ms. Fleet advised that conditions of
the State's Grant Agreement and the Annual Management Plan and Stewardship Plan required
the City to change the Future Land Use and Zoning to Conservation. There was a substantial
cost savings to the City if the Future Land Use and Zoning changes were processed through the
City versus the County. Vice Mayor Royal disagreed stating he looked to the future and the
possibility of the City approaching Gustafson's and requesting a regional park be included in the
future DRI.

Based upon the passing of Ordinance No. 0-05-2015 annexing the property into the City, Ms.

Under discussion of the Motion, Vice Mayor Royal inquired of Ms. Fleet if she expected any funds
to be expended on this park in the next five (5) years. Ms. Judd advised that the City was under
a Management Plan. In addition, she noted that the County has a pot of money in their budget
that they will match grant applications for parks and recreation to help other municipalities. She
was not aware of anyone using it but it was available. In the next five (5) years, she believed the
City would have to work on one (1) of the four (4) key elements in the Plan.
Mayor Hampshire inquired about tabling Item Nos.1 O and 11 until the City Manager had time to
find out more information on the possibility of County funds. Ms. Fleet suggested the City Council
continue with Item No. 10. They could table Item 11 until the comments were received from the
State regarding the Annexation Ordinance approved in Item No. 9.

Vice Mayor Royal expressed his continued opposition stating the County had only tabled the
issue of funding a mega-park complex and he did not believe they would be as apt to participate
in the project if they had no control within the project. Council Member Lewis' interpretation was
that the entire funding (Big League Dreams) had been withdrawn because the County decided
they wanted to build roads. Vice Mayor Royal disagreed and reiterated that the possibility of a
partnership being built would be because of the City owning the property and it being located in
the County. Council Member Braly agreed. The City Manager expressed her observations
regarding the County's position.

STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT:
Council approval of Resolution R-09-2015, a Resolution amending the General
Fund operating budget for fiscal year 2015 per Exhibit "A".
BACKGROUND: This. amendment is to transfer a portion of the contingency budget within
the General Fund that was set aside for Contributions to General Fund Reserve to be the funding
source for extraordinary legal services for red light camera litigation and the City's contribution
toward the Police Overtime for the American Pie July 4th Celebration. This amendment also
includes the transfer of the Senior Secretary annual budget allocation from the Office of the City
Manager to the Human Resources Department a,nd the transfer of the Clerk-Typist annual budget
allocation from the Human Resources Department to the Development Services Department.
The anticipated salary savings from the vacancies created while recruiting for the Human
Resources Specialist and Clerk-Typist are being transferred to the City Clerk's personal services
budget to cover the anticipated over budget due to both the former City Clerk and Interim City
Clerk salary expenses being posted there.
During FY 2015 budget deliberations, the Council allocated $43,261 for Contribution to General
Fund Reserve. The Council approved the request to amend the City Attorney's budget to
provide a "not to exceed" amount of $10,000 for extraordinary legal services for red light camera
litigation during the December 9, 2014 Council Meeting. The Council approved the $2,500
contribution toward the Police Overtime for the American Pie July 4th Celebration during the
April 7, 2015 Council Meeting. The Council approved the transfer of the Senior Secretary
annual budget allocation and position count from the Office of the City Manager to the Human
Resources Department and the transfer of the Clerk-Typist annual budget allocation and position
count from the Human Resources Department to the Development Services Department during
the February 17, 2015 Council Meeting.
Exhibit "A" is attached listing the budget adjustment #1 for fiscal year ending September 30,
2015. This adjustment is needed to transfer a portion of the contingency budget for the City
Attorney and Police Department within the General Fund. This adjustment is also needed to
transfer the Senior Secretary Budget allocation from the City Manager to the Human Resources
and City Clerk budgets and transfer the Clerk-Typist budget allocation from the Human
Resources budget to the Development Services Department and City Clerk budgets. It is not
necessary to increase the Fiscal Year 2014/2015 General Fund budget for budget adjustment #1
since the total General Fund budget is not being increased. The total General Fund budget prior
to budget adjustment #1 is $6,487,833 and after budget adjustment #1 is posted the total General
Fund budget will remain at $6,487,833.
FISCAL IMPACT I FUNDING SOURCE: Transfer $12,500 from Contribution to General
Fund Reserve to City Attorney Operating Budget and Police Personal Services Budget. Transfer
$48,019 from City Manager Personal Services Budget to Human Resources Personal Services
Budget in the amount of $10,092 and to City Clerk Budget in the amount of $37,927. Transfer
$16,077 from Human Resources Personal Services Budget to Development Services Personal
Services Budget in the amount of $16,077.

STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Utilization of the Police Department's Drug Fund in support of the county-wide
distribution of the annual Safe & Drug-Free Schools calendar project sponsored by Clay Action
Coalition, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
For the past six years, the Police Department has utilized its Drug fund to purchase a page on the
yearly Safe & Drug-Free Schools Calendar sponsored by Clay Action Coalition, Inc. The yearly
calendar includes original anti-drug artwork from area school children, and pertinent information
regarding drugs for parents and concerned citizens promoting a healthy and drug-free lifestyle.
The calendar also serves as a most worthwhile tool for parents, containing all significant school
year dates; report card and interim report card dates, holidays, and early dismissal dates. The
cost for this year's page is $300.00 dollars for 125 calendars and insures that the Police
Department's logo and other pertinent information is displayed on a calendar page, all supporting
the Police Department's anti-drug message to our youth.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Police Department recommends that the City Council authorize the Chief of Police to utilize
the Police Department's Drug Fund for an amount not to exceed $300.00 dollars, to pay for this
important community-wide anti-drug project, as this is not a budgeted item in the Police
Department's budget.
MOTION:
To authorize the Chief of Police to utilize the Police Department's Drug Fund
for an amount not to exceed $300.00, for the purchase of a monthly page
supporting the 2015/2016 Safe & Drug-Free Schools calendar project.

Officer at Large
It is time for our annual fundraiser to support the county-wide distribution of
our Safe & Drug-Free Schools calendar project. The calendar includes original
artwork from our area school children and pertinent information for parents
and concerned citizens promoting a healthy and drug-free lifestyle, obviously
its primary purpose. It also serves as a most worthwhile planning calendar for
parents, containing all significant school year dates; report card and interim
report card dates, holidays, early dismissals, etc. This project was started in
1997 by the Clay County Juvenile Justice Council and has continued to be
well supported and received by the community. The project also has the
support of Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler and Clay County School
Superintendent Charlie Van Zant.
The Clay County Juvenile Justice Council members are active participants of
Clay Action Coalition, Inc. which is a nonprofit organization comprised of
representatives from law enforcement, school district, health care, juvenile
justice, government, business sector, substance abuse and mental health
providers, youth, parents and interested residents of our community. The
purpose of the council is to develop comprehensive juvenile justice prevention
and early intervention plans for the youth of our county, as well as working
collaboratively with the Department of Juvenile Justice in seeking program
improvements to address the many needs of youth that are at risk of
delinquency.
To partially cover the cost of the calendar printing and to ensure more
community-wide distribution, we are seeking community support through
donations. A minimum of $400 ensures your company or organization name
and logo will be prominently displayed at the bottom of your sponsored page.
You will also receive approximately 150 calendars to distribute as you wish
through your organization.
Thank you in advance for consideration of this request as a sponsor. If I can
provide any further information, please feel free to contact me at 904-5294995.

STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Chapman Substation, Automatic Transfer Switch and Load Tap Changers
BACKGROUND: During the annual inspection of the Chapman Substation two problems were
found which should be taken care of soon. The Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) pulls low
voltage power from either the # 1 transformer or the #2 transformer to provide power to the
control building for lights, outlets, and battery charging. The control circuits and automatic
switchgear are operated by a large bank of batteries. Without power to charge these batteries,
they will go dead in about ~ hour leaving the substation unprotected. When we take either of the
large transformers out of service, the ATS automatically switches to the other transformer in
order to continue battery charging. We discovered that one side of the ATS has been burned up,
most likely due to the housing rusting out and allowing moisture inside. Parts for equipment of
this age are difficult to obtain so our engineer, Fred Young, feels that we should replace the
entire ATS unit.
Also during the inspection it was found that the contacts inside of the Load Tap Changers
(L TCs) of both transformers were found to be deteriorating. The travel of movable contacts
across the stationary contacts allow the transformer to maintain a constant voltage output as the
load varies. During this movement there is a small amount of arcing which, in time, bums up the
contacts. These contacts were replaced in one of the two transformers in 2006. I don't know if
the set in the other transformer has ever been replaced. There are 54 stationary and 6 movable
contacts in each transformer. This work will take about 2 days per transformer so it cannot be
performed until after the ATS has been repaired/replaced. This work will also require a very
short (minutes) outage of the entire city.
FISCAL IMP ACT I FUNDING SOURCE: Total cost for both repairs is $52,330.00 ($4,400
for the A TS and $4 7 ,93 2 for the LTCs ). The funding would be through the funding strategies for
CIP projects with proceeds approved at the February 3rd Council meeting by eliminating the field
breaker, Harbor Road at Ivey Lane project and reducing the 4 kV conversion project
approved at the April 7, 2015 Council meeting by $2,330 due to lower transformer costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the replacement of the Automatic
Transfer Switch (ATS) and contacts in both Load Tap Changers (LTCs) in the Chapman
Substation at a cost of $52,330.00.
MOTION: Approve replacement of the Automatic Transfer Switch and contacts in the Load
Tap Changers in the Chapman Substation at a cost of $52,330.00.

FMPA Monthly Report
April
Conservation & Renewable Energy Advisory Committee (CREAC)
•Approved funding for another year at the $700,ooo level. $50,000 will be used to
produce new videos for use by members to encourage conservation.
• Program to date Green Cove Springs has used 79% of their funds.
• EPA Clean Power Regulations should be finalized in June. Could require abandoning
current coal generating plants. Projected cost increase of 10-30% by 2030. FMPA
currently projects a cost of $n9/MWh for 2030 without these additional costs.
April Rate Call
• Natural gas storage greater than expected and prices are trending down. Expect gas
pricing to remain stable through 2015. EIA forecast calls for increases in 2016.
FMPA Board of Directors
• Actions to correct Auditor General findings tabled to the May meeting. Staff presented
proposed changes but not in actual policy form. BoD will vote on actual policies in
May.
• St Lucie swaps debt has reached 36% of St Lucie project debt. FMPA Debt Risk
Manage:i;nent Policy calls for a max of 35%. Staff recommended approval of an
exception. The BoD pushed back and asked for more info based Auditor Generals
findings of not following policies.
Executive Committee
• Settlement with Duke on a refund of transmission fees continues to a favorable
conclusion.
• Quincy is making security deposits on time to meet new contract guidelines approved
last month.
• FMPA continues to be in the running to supply Homestead's 15 RFQ for power supply.
• Approved extension of Florida Gas Transmission contract to 2026. This contract
protects gas supply for the Treasure Coast generating plant.
•Approved CROD implementation to always deduct excluded resources from CROD
monthly calculations.
• CREAC conservation funding approved at $700,000.
• Approved $150,000,000 line of credit that supports Series 2008C bonds approved
with Bank of America. Fees were reduced by 31%, lowered credit rating threshold by
one notch for FMPA to be considered in default, eliminated right of setoff and
extended expiration date to 2018.
• Approved termination of three (3) Taylor Swaps as soon as practical. As of this writing
they have not been terminated ... anticipated this will occur by the end of the month.
• Remaining Taylor six (6) swaps will be terminated and used to refinance current
bonds callable in 2018 and 2019. Action on actual termination delayed until the
Executive Committee approves a final debt repayment schedule. I expected that to
happen with a special called telephonic meeting in a week to ten days. To date, no
information has been provided or a meeting scheduled.
Consultant RFQ Draft Circulation
• In addition to addressing the AG Report concerns, I believe, the RFQ needs to include
consultant input on FMPA governance and questions raised by the Legislative
Committee,i.e., CEO compensation, value/appraisal of assets, standard formula for
calculation of Part A and Part B payments to exit the contract and seek broadest
possible distribution of the RFQ.

OF CERTAIN UTILITY IMPACT FEES AND RELATED SERVICES.
BACKGROUND: The City Council on April 7, 2015, approved the Wastewater Master Plan
("WWMP"). The engineer of record for the City is Jason Shepler of Mittauer & Associates. The
Council has now directed that an Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant ("AWWTP"), along
with a Reuse System, be built. The goal is to have these projects operational by 2020 for the
approximate sum of $20,000,000.00. Of course, the City will need to borrow most of the funds,
and in order to repay the loans, we will need to establish new impact fees, other charges and fees
("Impact Fees"). To legally support the Impact fees, the City must have in place a
comprehensive Impact Fee Ordinance with extensive support documentation. NG & N is a
widely recognized firm, which specializes in this very complex area of the law and will ensure
that the City completes all Impact Fee related legislation in compliance with applicable Florida
law. A copy of the EL, together with related emails, is attached for Council review.
FISCAL IMPACT I FUNDING SOURCE:
Staff suggests approval of not to exceed
$20,000.00 at this time. Funds will be used from the appropriate utility accounts.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the EL with NG & N with a not to
exceed $20,000.00 amount until and unless modified by the Council.
MOTION:
Approve the Engagement Letter dated April 24, 2015, submitted by Nabors

City Council. We will present the ordinance, respond to public comments,
and assist the City Council in their review and consideration of utility rates
and impact fees for the City.
Task 7:
Financing Counsel
If requested, NG&N is available to provide legal advice to the City relating
to the financing for the City's planned wastewater treatment plant
expansion. NG&N has served numerous cities and counties in Florida as
both bond and disclosure counsel. Engaging the same firm that assists in
establishment of the City's impact fees in a complimentary financing would
provide the City with greater efficiencies.
For the legal services to be provided by Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, we will bill
the City monthly for time and materials based upon our hourly rates outlined below and
actual costs incurred.

The services for Tasks 1-6 would be provided on an hourly basis at our standard
hourly rates to be billed monthly:
Partnera
Associates
Law Clerks
$275
$250
$75
Compensation for Task 7 would be negotiated separately as such payments are
typically lump sums contingent on the closing of the financing.
In addition to legal fees, we would propose to be reimbursed for actual costs
incurred on long-distance telephone charges, travel expenses and overnight delivery
charges. All travel expenses would be reimbursed in accordance with section 112.061,
Florida Statutes, and photocopies would be billed at 25¢ per page.
NG&N will work with the City in performing its scope of services.
Upon review and satisfactory determination, please execute this correspondence
by signing below to indicate acceptance of the attached proposal and to serve as proper
Notice to Proceed. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
We look forward to working with the City of Green Cove Springs on this very
important project. If you or any other City officials have any questions, please feel free
to contact me.
Very truly yours,
