MEE TING PURPOSE
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the goal setting
agenda. (Attached)
City Manager Hooper went over what was included in the agenda
packet. He asked for Council to provide him direction if he is
on the right track and if there is anything they would ~ike him
to add or if they would like to put the list in priority order.
City Manager Hooper started his presentation by going over the
Development/Economic Enhancement with regard to the ParkTowne
Industrial Center, the SR 442 Corridor Overlay and the Joint
Planning Agreement. He also answered questions presented by
Councilwoman Lichter and Mayor Schmidt.
City Manager Hooper then went over the Infrastructure Development
Plan and answered questions presented by Councilwoman Lichter and
Councilwoman Rhodes.
After discussion regarding the referendum for capital projects,
Council agreed to list each item individually on the ballot.
Councilwoman Rhodes feels the list should be prioritized and they
should have a backup plan in case it doesn't fly again, at least
for City Hall. City Manager Hooper feels the backup plan would
be to fix up the existing City Hall.

Councilwoman Rhodes also suggested setting up a fund and putting
in a certain percentage of the annual budget every year until
they get enough for a City Hall. She feels it is a priority and
if they are going to goal set that would be one of her first
priorities.
Mayor Schmidt asked for a list of the different road impact fees
that other cities have implemented or are getting ready to
implement. City Manager Hooper informed him there is only one
city in Volusia and that is Deltona at $502. He mentioned other
cities, such as Port Orange and New Smyrna, that are going
through the process just as Edgewater is.
City Manager Hooper then went over the Revenue Enhancements and
answered questions presented by Councilwoman Lichter.
City Manager Hooper continued his presentation by going over the
Planning Initiatives and addressed concerns expressed by
Councilwoman Lichter.
City Manager Hooper finished his presentation by going over
Public Safety. He also answered questions presented by
Councilwoman Lichter.
Councilwoman Lichter commented on the goals that have been
accomplished in the past five years.
Councilwoman Rhodes commented on the ParkTowne Industrial Center
and economic development being what is going to drive down our
taxes and help our City the most by providing jobs and less of a
residential tax base. She would like to focus on economic
development as opposed to residential development.
Councilwoman Lichter would like to see the City work with Daytona
Beach Community College. She also would like to see the new high
school called New Smyrna/Edgewater High School or Southeast
Volusia Regional High School. She doesn't think the name
reflects the volume of kids that live in Edgewater. Mayor
Schmidt doesn't think the name will be changed. City Manager
Hooper commented on the name for the Middle School that will be
located in Edgewater being worked on. Councilwoman Rhodes
mentioned the cost involved with changing the name of the high
school.
