INVOCATION. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
There was a silent invocation and pledge of allegiance to the
Flag.
MEETING PURPOSE
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the preliminary budget
for Fiscal Year 2001.
City Manager Hooper went over the $25,000 Senior Citizen
Homestead Exemption. There are approximately 405 households in
the City. The Property Appraiser indicated it would cost about a
$60,243.75. He questioned if they should do it all at once or
phase it in. New Smyrna and Flagler Beach have opted to phase it
in. He informed Council this will be a consensus type vote, no
motions or final decisions will be made. He informed Council of
the dates scheduled for the budget.
City Manager Hooper commented on the process of setting the
millage rate. He informed Council tonight they would be talking
about the revenue and expenditures of each of the departments and
he will also be taking them through the revenue. They are going
to talk very little about definitions and questions in general
about the budget.
Councilwoman Lichter asked City Manager Hooper where he got the
405 households. She expressed concern that most often things
like this are underestimated. Is that based on who applied for
the County portion? City Manager Hooper explained it came from
the County, which was fairly certain by the time it was said and
done, that they had everybody. He is pretty comfortable with the
number. They are talking a magnitude of a $60,000 to $100,000
range. He again asked Council if they want to do it all at once
or phase it in.
It was the consensus of Council to do the whole thing.
Councilwoman Lichter suggested informing the citizens, perhaps in
a newsletter. Mayor Schmidt asked if there is a possibility to
have some of the forms here but they would have to be turned in
to the County. City Manager Hooper stated he didn't see why not.
City Manager Hooper went over the Summary of Funds, which
consists of the General Fund, Water & Wastewater Fund, Refuse
Collection Fund and Stormwater Management/Maintenance Fund. He
then went over the Budget Overview and the Truth in Millage Act,
Revenues and the Millage Rate Analysis.
....
...""
Councilman Vincenzi asked about the 96%. City Manager Hooper
explained when you assess property and you put a millage value on
it, you will never get 100%. statutes require when they put a
budget number in they go with 96%. Councilwoman Lichter asked
what our collection rate was. City Manager Hooper stated 97% or
98%.
City Manager Hooper went over the Taxes Per Capita - Tax
Analysis. There was a brief discussion regarding the
anticipation of Edgewater having a larger population right now.
City Manager Hooper explained the General Fund.
There was a brief discussion regarding the difference between
estimate and proposed.
City Manager Hooper further commented on the General Fund.
Mayor Schmidt asked about the Library. Before we use to run the
Library and now it has nothing to do with us, except it is our
building. City Manager Hooper stated we entered into an
agreement last year with the County where they took over all
paYment services and maintenance for it.
City Manager Hooper continued to explain the General Fund.
There was a brief discussion regarding the YMCA.
City Manager Hooper went over a summary sheet with regard to
expenditures for the City Departments. He briefly went over each
department. He spoke about legal representation being very cost
effective. The City is saving $10,000 to $12,000 per month.
Councilwoman Rhodes clarified they want to keep the 2000 budget
and keep the millage rate the same which will bring in
approximately $1 million more. The extra $1 million will be used
to fund the priority list of capital projects. City Manager
Hooper informed her she was right.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked if the budget accounts for salary
increases for City employees. City Manager Hooper informed her
this accounts for 4% salary increases. He further spoke about
negotiating the annual union contracts. Councilwoman Rhodes
asked about an increase in regular wages and salaries from one
year to the next. City Manager Hooper clarified. Councilwoman
Lichter asked if longevity or position changes are factored in.
City Manager Hooper explained it is across the board. He spoke
about reasons why salaries can go up.
Councilwoman Rhodes stated if you have a 2000 budget figure which
is what you have right now and you are going to use that figure
again next year, then you aren't adding any personnel. City
Manager Hooper stated when he says 2000, he is really talking
about expenditures of Operation and Maintenance. The payroll and
personnel will be whatever that number is. If it is increased
and has to be higher, that is the number they will look at.
Councilwoman Lichter asked about Legal. City Manager Hooper
explained he moved legal all in the City Manager's Department.
Councilwoman Lichter asked if the other contractual services
under the City Manager Department is Legal. City Manager Hooper
stated that is him. He further explained where legal is
incorporated into his budget.
Councilwoman Rhodes suggested they may want to make a decision
if, in the interest of time, they are going to stay with the 2000
Budget and then discuss the capital outlays, there is no point in
going through the proposed.

...",
City Manager Hooper explained all they are saying is to give them
six more months to finish the projects. The things they are
talking about that need to be in here now will be in here in six
months. Councilwoman Lichter stated she doesn't know if they are
in a designated schedule but the time clock on these different
discussions seem to take a date. She thinks they should stick
with that process. She didn't know if they are our dates or
mandated dates. City Manager Hooper informed her they are on a
schedule that is mandated.
City Manager Hooper went over the Finance Department portion of
the budget. He informed Council of the H.T.E. Software in the
Finance Department.
Councilman Brown asked if we are caught up on upgrading all the
computers. City Manager Hooper informed Council the biggest
thing we face is computer aided dispatch. There are some fairly
small software items and some computer upgrades through the City
but no where are we struggling.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked why the Finance Department is double.
City Manager Hooper elaborated some of the positions were paid
out of a different fund but are now being paid through Finance
but the dollars are the same.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked about the $15,000 for Budget Software.
City Manager Hooper explained it is the H.T.E. package that is
compatible with our Finance package that was bought.
Councilwoman Rhodes feels this is expensive software. Finance
Director Michele Goins further commented on the software package
and what it entails.
Councilwoman Lichter asked about the $27,000 in Machinery and
Equipment. Ms. Goins explained she had other items she was
looking at but she took them out.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked about the Fireproof Filing Cabinet and
whether it is really fireproof. Ms. Goins stated yes and
explained checks will be stored in it.
City Manager Hooper went over the Planning and Zoning portion of
the budget.
Mayor Schmidt stated he noticed with most of the categories the
vehicle repairs are gone and asked if that is because it is
private. City Manager Hooper explained they are centralized in
the Public Works Department. He spoke of Building Maintenance
being the only part that has changed as far as private.
City Manager Hooper went over the Economic Development Board
portion of the budget. Councilwoman Lichter spoke about the
Chamber and the Volusia County Business Development coming in
separately for their dues in the past. She likes this set up and
feels the Chamber should be included. She further spoke about
the Volusia County Business Development. She wondered if there
was a better use for the $9,000. She spoke about looking into an
Economic Development procure contractually, like the Grant
Writer. She suggested exploring this a little more.
City Manager Hooper explained the Economic Development Board is
making that same recommendation to Council. councilwoman Lichter
thinks they need the Board as well as an individual.
Councilman Vincenzi asked who made up the budget for them. City
Manager Hooper explained this is an annual amount they submit to
us.

Councilman Vincenzi asked about the $13,000 for promotional
activities. City Manager Hooper explained they would like to
attend VCARD meetings and other places where they can promote
Edgewater. At this point, they wanted to allocate some dollars
to attend trade shows and boat shows.
Ms. Plaskett commented on part of the promotional activities
includes updating their brochures.
Mayor Schmidt feels they have to be careful with the Volusia
County Business Development. He doesn't know how good it would
be for them to run solo. He thinks our past has hurt us because
we haven't been willing to do infrastructure and the incentives
to want some of the businesses to look for us.
Councilwoman Lichter feels the Volusia County Business
Development needs to make a presentation. Mayor Schmidt agreed.
City Manager Hooper thinks it is appropriate for them to come to
speak to the Council. He also suggested when the Economic
Development Board comes before Council, let them tell the Council
what they think.
City Manager Hooper went over the Personnel Department portion of
the budget.
City Manager Hooper went over the City Clerk Department budget.
Councilwoman Lichter spoke about the decrease in life and health
insurance. City Manager Hooper explained they are both married
to employees within the City.
City Clerk Wadsworth commented on the $1,000 in the Contingency
Fund under her budget.
Councilwoman Lichter asked what they do with important documents
to safeguard them. City Clerk Wadsworth explained we are going
to be microfiching them but now they are in off-site storage.
She informed Council during the hurricane last year they came and
took all the records off-site. Mayor Schmidt asked if it is a
company we contract out to do that. City Clerk Wadsworth
informed him yes.
City Manager Hooper went over Governmental Services in the
budget.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked about replacing the carpet throughout
City Hall. She spoke of moving City Hall in the future and
questioned if they could wait on the carpet. City Clerk
Wadsworth commented on the condition of the carpet. It's in bad
shape.
Mayor Schmidt spoke about creating a Committee to talk about a
new city Hall site. City Manager Hooper informed Council he
thought it was on the next agenda to appoint this Committee.
City Manager Hooper went over the Maintenance portion of the
budget.
City Manager Hooper went over the Police Department portion of
the budget.
Mayor Schmidt commented on there being no amount listed under
Education Development. City Manager Hooper explained it as being
a new line item. Councilwoman Lichter mentioned schooling.
Police Chief Schumaker informed her that is under Promotional
Activities.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked what operating supplies are. Police
Chief Schumaker informed her such things as uniforms, ammunition,
general equipment, furniture, desks, protective vests, film, and
evidence supplies. Page -4-

..."""
Mayor Schmidt asked if this is up because of the CAPS program.
Councilwoman Rhodes stated she thought CAPS was a grant. Chief
Schumaker informed her no.
Chief Schumaker commented on the good job the CAPS people are
doing.
City Manager Hooper commented on some of the increase occurring
because of the two major storms last year and the need for
additional supplies. Councilwoman Rhodes expressed concern with
the increase. Chief Schumaker explained there may be the
anticipation of two new officers.
City Manager Hooper went over the Police Department Manpower
Analysis and Capital Outlay.
There was a discussion regarding the police cars that will be
replaced and the leasing of police cars.
There was a discussion regarding why two new police officers are
needed and how many are currently on staff.
There was a discussion regarding the CAPS people manning the
school zones and this being a problem with the County
regulations. Councilwoman Rhodes spoke about getting them
certified to be able to do this.
Mayor Schmidt asked about the CAD system with maintenance. Chief
Schumaker informed him that is the Computer-Aided Dispatch
earlier spoke about by City Manager Hooper.
Councilwoman Lichter mentioned possibly getting a grant for a
youth officer that could tie in with traffic, school and youth.
Chief Schumaker commented on the man hours involved with grants.
There was further discussion regarding the hiring of the two
additional officers.
There was a discussion regarding the digital cameras being
requested.
There was a ten-minute recess at this time.
City Manager Hooper spoke about a lease purchase they are looking
at. Councilwoman Rhodes is in favor of companies that will lease
or sell at a lower rate or whatever advertising benefit they get
out of it. City Manager Hooper explained they are looking to
start a Vehicle Replacement Fund in the General Fund this year.
There was a discussion regarding the vehicles being replaced in
the Fire Department.
There was a discussion regarding the need for a Fire Captain and
hiring in-house as opposed to using a volunteer due to the
volunteers having full-time jobs.
city Manager Hooper further commented on the Fire Department
portion of the budget.
Councilwoman Rhodes feels they need to prioritize and public
safety is first, Fire and Police. Fire Lieutenant Jill Klem
listed the items she feels are critical.
Councilwoman Lichter asked if our fire rating has improved since
they put in the second station in terms of insurance for
homeowners. Lt. Klem stated they went from a seven to a five
with one being the highest, which is a very difficult rating to
achieve. Councilwoman Lichter again asked if there was a break
for homeowners with their insurance. Lt. Klem stated it depends
on your insurance carrier.

There was a discussion regarding there being no charge to a
citizen for the emergency services provided by the City. There
is only a charge if they are transported to the hospital by EVAC.
There was further discussion regarding whether it would benefit
the City to transport people to the hospital and this being
something in the future they will want to do as the City grows.
There was discussion regarding the pumper truck that needs to be
replaced in the Fire Department. Councilwoman Lichter asked
about the piece of land that was proposed for the Fire station
originally. City Manager Hooper informed Council they are going
to sell it. It will be brought before Council and staff will ask
them to declare it surplus so they can advertise and sell it.
Lt. Klem spoke about the vehicle replacement fund and how it will
be used in the future. City Manager Hooper spoke about not being
able to do everything all at once. They do want to start the
program and set money aside. This already exists in other
departments.
City Manager Hooper went over the civil Defense portion of the
budget. There was a brief discussion regarding C.E.R.T. falling
under this section.
There was a discussion regarding the increase in operating
supplies.
Councilwoman Lichter asked if there will be supplies stored at
the Recreation Complex in case of an emergency. City Manager
Hooper informed her yes.
Councilwoman Lichter feels they need a better explanation of the
operating supplies increase under civil Defense. Lt. Klem
explained it has been decreased from the $10,400 to $3,500.
City Manager Hooper went over the Building Department portion of
the budget.
City Manager Hooper went over the Code Enforcement portion of the
budget.
There was a brief discussion regarding the Code Enforcement
Officers doing patrol. Councilwoman Lichter spoke about city
employees also reporting violations. City Manager Hooper
explained that is occurring due to Code Enforcement now falling
under the Police Department.
There was a brief discussion regarding the additional vehicle
needed in Code Enforcement. Chief Schumaker explained they found
it will probably be a tremendous advantage for the Code
Enforcement Officer to have a pickup truck. They found during
the storms that the cars weren't adequate to do patrolling due to
high water.
City Manager Hooper went over the Public Works portion of the
budget.
Councilwoman Lichter had a question about manpower and questioned
if the equipment operator could do the work of a heavy equipment
operator in the event of an emergency. Department of
Environmental Services Terry Wadsworth explained most of the work
that was done as far as storm clean up was actually done by
Stormwater. Public Works does mainly mowing and street
maintenance. He commented on what the heavy equipment operator
does.

.....",
Mayor Schmidt mentioned schooling for an equipment operator to
help the heavy equipment operator. Mr. Wadsworth spoke about
cross-training being something they already do. The problem
during the storms has been more lack of equipment than lack of
manpower.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked what is other Contractual Service that
is needs to be tripled. City Manager Hooper stated road
resurfacing.
There was a brief discussion regarding the wheel balancer.
There was further discussion regarding road resurfacing.
councilman vincenzi asked about street Lighting Expenses. Mr.
Wadsworth elaborated.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked which equipment is vital. Mr.
Wadsworth commented on ways they are trying to decrease the
budget with regard to additional machinery and equipment. He
spoke about the tractor blowing up and looking at the cost of a
new tractor verses replacing the motor. It may not be
economically feasible to do the repairs if they are that much as
opposed to buying a new unit.
city Manager Hooper explained all of the City's expenses with
regard to the Library have gone with the County but we own the
building.
City Manager Hooper went over the Parks and Recreation portion of
the budget.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked about Cultural Services. Parks and
Recreation Director Jack Corder explained they changed the name
from Beautification to Cultural Services so this includes the
historical grant they have included for next year and
beautification. Councilwoman Rhodes asked to have a separate
line item for beautification. City Manager Hooper stated they
could do that. Councilwoman Lichter agreed with making a
separate line item for beautification. Councilwoman Rhodes feels
under cultural services there is too much of a discrepancy. If
it is broken down then there is an assurance that there is
something there for cultural and for beautification.
There was a brief discussion if $50,000 is enough. There was
further discussion regarding beautifying the medians on U.S. #1
and doing a beautification project at Park Avenue and U.S. #1.
There was a discussion regarding an additional Programs
Coordinator for the YMCA. There was further discussion regarding
the $50,000 being paid to the YMCA to offer the City's portion of
some of the scholarships for Edgewater residents. Mr. Corder
stated we will provide the Program Coordinator but they will have
a full staff over there with more activities going on.
Councilwoman Lichter feels the salary seems high to her. city
Manager Hooper explained what is included in this salary. Mr.
Corder further commented on what the Program Coordinator will be
doing. It was determined the cost is actually $35,000.
There was a discussion regarding the need for a slope mower.
Mayor Schmidt spoke about other mowers being purchased and maybe
not needing to buy three this year. City Manager Hooper
commented on the need for an additional mower during the grass
growing season and not being able to keep up with it. There is a
tremendous need for this. Mr. Corder spoke about having to
replace one of his mowers.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked Mr. Corder to list what is vital under
machinery and equipment. Mr. Corder stated the only thing he has
vital is the 72" mower deck. The rest he can sit on for a while.

There was a brief discussion regarding the City no longer doing
anything at the Library.
Councilwoman Lichter doesn't feel $5,000 is enough for historical
when the cultural services line item is broken down in the event
something might come up. Mr. Corder commented on the Land
Development Code that was just passed and they now have a
historic preservation ordinance on hand. If there will be
anything that came up with a large expense, City Manager Hooper
would go before Council and ask for funds.
City Manager Hooper went over the General Fund's contribution to
debt service.
City Manager Hooper went over the General Fund capital and
personnel and the list of priorities from his perspective. They
will probably have sufficient money at mid-year to do all or most
of the priorities. He would like Council to tell him if they
like the order he has come up with or if they want to shuffle
things around.
Mayor Schmidt asked about the $100,000 for resurfacing. City
Manager Hooper informed him it is $300,000.
Mayor Schmidt asked about purchasing two patrol cars and moving
one to the bottom. City Manager Hooper spoke about them being
purchased through State contract.
City Manager Hooper stated they aren't stuck tonight. He will
provide Council with his list of priorities. He feels Council
will be able to fund all or most of the priorities.
Councilwoman Lichter questioned the two officers and asked if one
should be higher on the list as well as a couple of the patrol
cars.
City Manager Hooper asked if Council would like to do one officer
at the beginning of the budget year in November. Mayor Schmidt
thinks it makes sense to do one and then half way through the
year, hire another one.
City Manager Hooper spoke about moving the mower deck up higher
on the list of priorities.
Councilwoman Lichter questioned what the easement row at the
south end is. City Manager Hooper explained what this is.
Councilwoman Lichter spoke about the water problem on Riverside
Drive and asked if this is addressed. Mr. Wadsworth explained
that is being looked at in the Stormwater Master Plan.
Mayor Schmidt asked if the road resurfacing includes bike paths,
such as on Roberts Road. Mr. Wadsworth informed him no it does
not. Mayor Schmidt asked if there is a place where that is
addressed or could be. He commented on the condition of the bike
path on Roberts Road.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked City Manager Hooper if he is
anticipating by the end of the year they will be able to do all
of this. City Manager Hooper stated by next year mid-budget.
Councilwoman Rhodes asked if he would be doing this in this
order. Councilwoman Lichter stated they just suggested changing
a couple. Councilwoman Rhodes asked City Manager Hooper if he
wants to do it in this order as money becomes available. She
feels budgeting software could wait and the Code Enforcement
vehicle and equipment needs to be higher.

Councilman Vincenzi suggested they get hard copies of it. City
Manager Hooper asked Council if they are in agreement with the
concept they may want to move some things up. Council agreed.
Councilwoman Rhodes feels public safety, with regard to Police
and Fire, should be first priority.
City Manager Hooper asked Council if they want to have a work
session to talk any further on these or do they want to do this
at the first public hearing. Councilwoman Lichter stated they
have gone over 3/4 of what they have in front of them now.
Friday they just have the Enterprise Fund. She suggested
discussing the priorities before the fact. City Manager Hooper
agreed with this.
City Manager Hooper asked Council for direction on the millage
rate. On July 24th, Council will receive a request to set the
millage for advertisement. The proposal is they advertise the
current millage rate of 5.95. That gives Council, in his
opinion, sufficient money once they get through with the current
projects to do this list.
Councilman Vincenzi stated if they decide to advertise that rate
that could still be changed. City Manager Hooper stated you can
lower it but you can't raise it without start the 100 day process
allover.
Council agreed it should be advertised at 5.95.
Mayor Schmidt has a conflict on July 24th. City Manager Hooper
stated they have to do it close to that time period because that
starts the 100 day clock.
City Manager Hooper stated what he is hearing is a general
consensus to advertise that number, which he is very comfortable
with.
Councilwoman Lichter spoke about only two citizens showing up for
this meeting.
Mayor Schmidt asked if they have a meeting coming up at the
Library. City Clerk Wadsworth commented on the conflict she had
with the Library. She is looking into the Florida Shores
Clubhouse.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to discuss, Mayor Schmidt
adjourned the meeting at 8:50 p.m.
