[401 S. Park Avenue] This document is an agenda for the City Commission meeting on July 8, 2026, which includes various administrative reports, consent agenda items for contract approvals, and budget presentations for Fiscal Year 2027. Several contracts are up for approval, including those for wire & cable, fire equipment, and sanitary sewer lining. Additionally, contracts for tree pruning and sod services are listed. The budget presentations will cover the overall FY27 budget, with specific departments like Public Works, Fire, Police, Parks, Water & Wastewater, and Electric Utility presenting their financial plans. The document also details the city's financial outlook, including potential impacts of property tax reform, utility rate adjustments, and increased spending on road maintenance and public safety pensions. It outlines proposed budget changes, personnel adjustments, and capital improvement plans. The Electric Utility is increasing its funding for the undergrounding program to have all mainline secondary and primary electric overhead wires underground by the end of FY30. Funding in FY27 will increase from $9.2 million to $9.7 million to address the additional cost of including service drop conversions to residential properties. The utility estimates a 5% annual cost inflation for undergrounding. The program is funded by operating margins, and this increased capital spending is a primary reason for a rate increase. The utility is also increasing engineering and field resources for the Underground Conversion Project and improving pole inspections and audits to reduce redundant poles and incentivize communication companies to underground their infrastructure. The city's power is primarily supplied by the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) and OUC, with Duke Energy providing transmission services. The city added 23 MW of solar power through the Florida Municipal Solar initiative. The utility plans to replace substation transformers, with each costing approximately $2.5 million, and has budgeted $800k - $900k annually for replacement. Repairs and upgrades to substation infrastructure are budgeted at $300k - $500k annually. The utility will replace 2,000 electric meters in FY27 with $565k, with ongoing funding in the CIP for additional meter replacements. An outage management system will be purchased for just under $200k. Building improvements are planned for administrative offices, with a request for Building 4 improvements pending completion of the undergrounding program. Winter Park's electric rates are generally low, but a 7.7% increase on non-fuel and customer charge portions of the bill is proposed for FY27, likely increasing overall customer bills by 4-5%. This rate increase is necessary to maintain the undergrounding program at its current level. The Fleet & Equipment Management division is increasing contributions to the Equipment Replacement Fund to keep up with vehicle price inflation. Internal estimates for vehicle replacement needs exceeded $4 million, but current contribution increases only achieve just over $3 million, requiring prioritization of replacements and extending the life of aging stock. Vehicles are typically replaced around 12-17 years old. Fleet plans to replace 28 vehicles in FY27, with an average age of 12 years for the vehicles being disposed. Some replacements may be deferred to the following fiscal year, and leasing aging construction equipment is being considered where economically feasible. A pilot program with a local car dealer for minor maintenance (oil changes, air filters, tire pressure) has been launched to allow fleet to focus on more significant maintenance and repair work. The Human Resources department is prioritizing recruitment and retention of talent by ensuring competitive pay and benefits, with a current city turnover rate of 9% largely due to retirements and relocations. The Employee Handbook will be revamped to update federal and local policies. The Risk Management division will implement proactive safety training to reduce city risk and liability, focusing on educating employees to avoid and report safety hazards. [SR 1792 corridor] The Information Technology (IT) Department is focused on modernizing operations, strengthening cybersecurity, improving operational resilience, and expanding the use of data-driven and AI-enabled solutions. The Smart City Initiative will continue deploying technologies like smart lighting and environmental sensors. The city's fiber network is being expanded, with public WiFi expansion efforts including West Meadow and Park Avenue Refresh upgrades, and advancing SR 1792 corridor connectivity with FDOT. The city has completed the enterprise rollout of Microsoft 365 and is transitioning towards SaaS platforms. An AI Governance Council and policy framework have been established, with initiatives including Microsoft Copilot for productivity enhancements. IT is partnering with utility departments to modernize operations through automation and integration, including work management and outage management systems. Cybersecurity priorities include SIEM capabilities, Zero Trust architecture, and identity modernization. Key priorities for FY27 include Tyler SaaS migration, responsible AI adoption, network modernization, cybersecurity advancement, disaster recovery improvements, and utility systems modernization. [City's Chain of Lakes system, Center Street District, Martin Luther King, Jr. Park, train station] The Natural Resources Department secured over $19 million in grant funding in FY26 for restoration, resiliency, infrastructure, and environmental enhancement projects, including lake restoration, stormwater system enhancements, water quality protection, and community sustainability initiatives. The department completed a Community Needs Assessment and Resource Guide, expanded environmental education, launched wellness and sustainability workshops, and completed a tree canopy study. Future efforts include pursuing grant opportunities and improving environmental data collection. The department is focusing on lake preservation, with initiatives including nutrient reduction, sediment management, and stormwater infrastructure improvements. The Keep Winter Park Beautiful & Sustainable (KWPBS) program increased volunteer engagement and diverted over 219,000 pounds of food waste through composting. In FY27, KWPBS will focus on zero-waste standards for events, increasing volunteer participation, expanding community garden programming, and improving electric vehicle infrastructure awareness. Highlighted capital investments for FY27 include $100K for seawall cap refurbishment along canals and $265K for nutrient reduction improvements in the City's Chain of Lakes system. The Office of Management & Budget (OMB) is implementing OpenGov software for budgeting and performance management to streamline the budget development process and provide interactive budget information to citizens. The City of Winter Park has received GFOA awards for excellence in budgeting, its Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), and the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for multiple years. The OMB manages the city's Utility Warehouse, which has faced challenges with lead times and product sourcing due to supply chain disruptions, though FY27 anticipates fewer delays but continued price creep. Inventory levels remain elevated, but cycle count accuracy is over 99%. The warehouse yard floor strengthening will continue into FY27. The City Commission approved a funding mechanism for outside organizations, allocating 1/4% of gross revenue from the General Fund, Electric, and Water & Wastewater funds, totaling approximately $487k. Existing long-term recipients will receive an approximate 3% inflation adjustment. Approximately $177k may be available for additional organizational support or reserves. The Winter Park Library is requesting a 3% funding increase for FY27, totaling $2.17 million from the General Fund and $395,000 from the CRA, to address rising personnel costs. The City contributes 70%-75% of the Library's annual operating costs. The Library will host Library Journal’s Directors’ Summit, launch a new tutoring initiative called Reading Roots, and expand technology education. [Winter Park Pines golf course, Community Center, athletic fields, tennis courts] The Parks & Recreation department will invest $825K in enhancing city parks and venues. This includes $550K for irrigation replacement at the Winter Park Pines golf course back 9, $150K for various improvements at the Community Center including pool resurfacing, $75K for replacing aging athletic field and tennis court lighting with LEDs, and $50K for general parks major maintenance. [South of Fairbanks Avenue (SOFA) District] The Planning and Zoning Department will implement the Comprehensive Plan vision, focusing on the South of Fairbanks Avenue (SOFA) District in coordination with the Community Redevelopment Agency and Economic Development Department, including economic development incentives for redevelopment and strategic annexations. Efforts will also be made to modernize and simplify the city’s commercial sign regulations. In partnership with the city’s Urban Design Advisor, architectural design standards for commercial development will be developed. Historic preservation initiatives include updating the city’s historic resources survey and evaluating potential updates to the Historic Preservation Ordinance and exploring new incentives for historic properties. [downtown core, 17/92 corridor, Fairbanks Avenue] The Stormwater Master Plan implementation includes raising the annual assessment fee per impervious square foot by one cent to nine cents, the final year of a three-year plan to raise the rate by one cent annually. This increase supports major infrastructure and project needs, as stormwater basin studies are complete and new projects can be pursued. The City of Orlando has a similar fee that has doubled to approximately 12 cents. Funding for FY27 capital improvements for stormwater will increase by $600k to $2.4 million. Road resurfacing funding is being expanded, doubling funding for road materials by adding $500k, aiming to meet a standard of 7.5 lane miles paved annually. The Transportation Master Plan highlights over $140 million in projects over 20 years, but lacks dedicated funding, with the CRA leveraging county funds for improvements in the downtown core, 17/92 corridor, and along Fairbanks Avenue. Facilities Management will invest just under $900k in FY27 for planned projects including HVAC replacement (City Hall, Welcome Center, Building 10, Building 11), upgrading City Hall chiller controls, painting City Hall interior and Winter Park Community Center exterior, elevator upgrades (Building 10, Building 11, Public Safety Complex), and replacing a nonfunctioning lift at the Winter Park Tennis Center. The Water & Wastewater Utility is proposing a 2.46% rate increase based on the Public Service Commission price index, plus an additional 2% to support operational inflation and capital investment, for a total of 4.46%. This increase is expected to have less than a $5 impact on a customer's monthly bill and will eliminate the use of fund balance for capital projects. The utility is budgeting over $5 million for repairs and replacement of water & sewer mains, lift stations, and plants, with a focus on lift station improvements, including the addition of emergency generators, supplemented by a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. An additional $19M State Revolving Fund loan/grant is available for infrastructure renewal, including lift station upgrades and gravity sewer lining. The Ravaudage lift station and force main project, estimated at over $8 million, will enhance system capacity and mitigate flooding. The utility's cost-sharing partnership with Orlando for wastewater treatment facilities will involve an $800k contribution in FY27, with over $6 million held in reserve.

The lease is projected to double in September from $11,000 to $22,000 monthly. Concerns were raised about the ability of nonprofit tenants to afford the rent and the parking capacity for simultaneous events. The proposal includes official recognition of Blue Bamboo as an Arts Hub, amendment of the master lease to permit leasing to entities beyond arts nonprofits, and consideration of rent relief. Public comment was divided, with some supporting Blue Bamboo and others opposing it or suggesting alternative solutions like hiring a commercial leasing broker. [case PR9071 (Stuart C.
