DISCUSSION OF SETTLEMENT OF CITY CENTREIMPACT FEE ISSUE - Mr. Tim Majors, 2118 Lake Drive WinterPark – addressed the Board concerning the unpaid impact fees forthe properties he had acquired in downtown Kissimmee. In hisopinion, TWA has acted improperly and unprofessionally inhandling the impact fee issue. Mr. Majors feels that he is beingtargeted by the <strong>Authority</strong> for mistakes that were made prior to hispurchase of the properties in the City Centre development and theproperty at 10 W. Monument Avenue. He said that Mr. Wheelerhad stated in their initial meeting on the impact fee issue that therewere errors made by TWA Staff in 2005. Mr. Major expresseddissatisfaction with the letter issued to all the property owners inOctober 2011 advising them of the unpaid impact fees.Mr. Majors advised the Board that he bought the 10 WestMonument Avenue property from a bank which had foreclosed onthe property. He found a tenant for the property but then discoveredthat there were unpaid impact fees due from the previous ownerwhich in his opinion should not be his responsibility. Mr. Majorsstated that TWA had beaten him down and he would pay theoutstanding impact fees owed but would do so with objection.Mr. Majors said that he had spent $10,000 legal expenses on theCity Centre impact fee situation at this point. He had theunderstanding that earlier, Dale Parsons, acting on behalf of theowners of City Centre, and the Executive Director had agreed onsettling the unpaid impact fee disputed for $15,000; however, theBoard rejected the settlement amount. There was a secondtentative settlement agreement of $20,000 which the Board alsorejected. He told the Board that he was here as a businessman andthat he hoped no one else had to suffer like he has suffered. Headvised the Board to secure the <strong>Authority</strong>’s interest on the titles ofproperties so things will be clear when someone comes to dobusiness with them. Supervisor White and Mr. Majors discussedthe 10 West Monument Avenue property impact fee situationincluding the Kissimmee CRA impact fee grant and agreement topay impact fees by the previous owners. The 10 year agreement topay the outstanding impact fees of approximately $25,000 does notrequire any payments in the first two years with the payments to bemade over the last eight years. There was discussion of the City


5:58:37 PMNewBusinessCentre impact fee issue. Supervisor White said that if otherbusinesses in town found out that Mr. Majors had not paid impactfees for City Centre, they would want the same deal. Mr. Majorsinsisted that this incident had taken place 9 years ago and he shouldnot be held liable. Supervisor Bornstein asked what the differencewas between the amounts offered by Mr. Majors to settle theunpaid impact fee dispute and the amount the <strong>Authority</strong> wasseeking. Staff advised that the difference is $15,000. Mr. Majorsreported that he had not seen any correspondence outlining asettlement amount. Attorney Lawson addressed Mr. Majorsadvising him that the way to settle the matter is for the four LLCswho own most of City Centre to pay half of the unpaid impact feesthrough the proposed forbearance agreements. Mr. Majorsreiterated that he has never seen any offer in writing. The Boardattorney provided Mr. Major with a copy of the proposedforbearance agreement for settlement of the impact fee issue forCity Centre.9B. APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FORTHE AUTHORITY FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011 - Bill Blend fromMoore Stephens Lovelace, P.A. addressed the Board on theCertified Annual Financial Report. – Supervisor Banasco movedfor approval of the Annual Report and Supervisor White secondedthe motion.

The estimated $3M needed to financePhase 2A has been set aside. Supervisor Thacker moved formoving forward with Phase 2A of the AMI project and SupervisorBanasco seconded the motion. Motion passed 5 to 0.10A. SERIES 2003 BONDS REFUNDING – Toby Wagner,Southeastern Investment Securities, Financial Advisor to theBoard, presented two different alternatives for refunding the Series2003 bonds. Financial conditions are presently favorable to the<strong>Authority</strong> to refund the Series 2003 bonds and achieve significantsavings on future debt payments on this debt. Mr. Wagnersuggested either utilizing a bank loan or issuance of a bondrefunding bond issue. Supervisor White asked about the possibilityof utilizing a local firm to act as bond disclosure counsel. Mr.Wheeler said that if that was the direction of the Board, Staff would


6:21:48 PMStaff Reportsprepare and issue an RFQ. Supervisor White added that localcompanies might be interested in bidding. Mr. Wagner asked fordirection from the Board as to how to proceed. He had submitted arequest for bids to a number of banks to provide a loan to refundthe Series 2003 bonds. The Board said that there would be twomotions on the floor. The first motion was for the financing teamto proceed with both alternatives for the refunding. SupervisorWhite moved for the first motion and Supervisor Banasco secondedit. The second motion was for staff to prepare an RFQ seeking abond disclosure attorney. Supervisor White moved for approval ofthe second motion and Supervisor Bornstein seconded the motion.Motions passed 5 to 0.11A. LAKEFRONT PUMP STATION (PS-35) ODORMITIGATION UPDATE - Robert Pelham, Director ofEngineering, reported that monitors to test for sulfide levels havebeen installed and soil samples will be taken once the sulfidemonitors are removed. The rehabilitation construction project isscheduled to be completed by mid-<strong>March</strong> and the bypass pumpoperation is scheduled to be completed this week. An engineeringscope of services has been requested from Webster Environmentalfor the odor control system design. The consultant has stated thatthe odor control system will operate as designed in a reduced pumpstation flow condition if the <strong>Authority</strong> proceeds with the proposedproject to divert a significant amount of flow form the lift station toreduce the quantity of gas in the station. The requisitions for thepurchase of the odor control equipment have been issued.

Mr. Wheeler recommended thatthe Board authorize the creation of a new policy to deal with billadjustments i.e., a first time adjustment for customers. Mr.Wheeler informed the Board that he has a conceptual idea on how


6:54:02 PM6:59:00 PMBoardofficialsto deal with the impact fee issue which requires doing away withimpact fees. The idea is along the same lines as the County’s ideaof doing away with transportation impact fees. Chairman VanMeter asked Mr. Wheeler when he would be bringing this back tothe Board and Mr. Wheeler said that it would be the secondmeeting in <strong>March</strong> or the first meeting in April.Commissioner Harford stated that he is still working on gettingsomeone appointed to the Board of Supervisors by the <strong>14</strong>th of<strong>March</strong>. Supervisor Thacker thanked Rodney Henderson for hispatience for the questions asked about the financial audit andinquired what the procedure was that usually organizations had anaudit committee with one Board member overseeing the audit.

CATEGORY:Attachment(s):ConsentInterlocal AgreementAPPROVAL OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THE OSCEOLA PARKWAYPHASE 2 PROJECTExplanation: The Board of Supervisors is requested to approve the InterlocalAgreement for the Osceola Parkway Phase 2 project (“Project”) between the <strong>Authority</strong>and Osceola County.Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes authorizes local government units to make the mostefficient use of their powers by enabling them to cooperate with each other. This isknown as the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969. This Interlocal Agreement is aformal agreement between the County and the <strong>Authority</strong> to cooperate and coordinatetheir respective work on the Project. By entering into the Interlocal Agreement, the<strong>Authority</strong> and the County will both enjoy a coordinated construction effort. A singleconstruction manager will be contracted to construct the work for both entities and willbe responsible for coordinating the concurrent utility and roadway construction activities.This arrangement will reduce the potential for change orders and delay claimscompared to each entity hiring separate contractors for their work.The limits of the Project are from 900 feet east of Buenaventura Lakes Boulevard to 800feet west of Boggy Creek Road. The County’s portion of the Project includes drainageimprovements and roadway widening. The <strong>Authority</strong>’s portion of the Project includesrelocation of an estimated 2,600 feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer main and associatedmanholes; 750 feet of 6-inch force main; and possibly 40 feet of 12-inch water main.Approximately, 3,200 feet of existing 6-inch force main will be upsized to a 10-inch. Anew 11,200 foot, 24-inch water main will be constructed within the project limits.The 24-inch water main extension is required per the <strong>Authority</strong>’s water master plan.The main will interconnect the Eastern Regional <strong>Water</strong> System with the <strong>Toho</strong> III (BVL)system. The 24-inch water main and future projects will allow the futuredecommissioning of the BVL and Springlake Village <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Plants andimprove the ability to move substantial quantities of water east and west across theservice area.The upsizing of the force main from 6-inch to 10-inch is necessary to serve the peakdemands of the existing homes in the area. The pump station that discharges into theexisting 6-inch force main currently runs continuously. The larger force main willprovide additional capacity and reduce energy consumption and operational costs.7C


Relocation of the existing water main, gravity sewer and force main is required to avoidconflicts with the County’s proposed roadway improvements.The County is proposing to contract with a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) forthe roadway and utility work. The CMAR will contract with a utility subcontractor for theTWA work. The CMAR is required to obtain a minimum of three bids for the utility workfrom TWA approved contractors. A Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) will bedeveloped for the work based on these bids and approved by the <strong>Authority</strong> and theCounty. The GMP will include the utility construction costs and the proportionate shareof the costs associated with CMAR fees. The GMP will require separate Boardapproval.To reduce issues and change orders experienced with Phase 1 the design includesLevel A survey services to locate existing utilities and identify possible conflicts with thealignment of the new water main, force main and relocated utilities. The Level A surveyincludes utility designation, subsurface excavations, survey and the use of 3Dsubsurface utility mapping, which consists of multi-channel ground penetrating radar(GPR) and multi-sensor electromagnetic induction. All of the above items allow for acomplete underground view of proposed pipe routes. The advantage of this system isthat it collects data over a wider area (5 feet wide) per sweep as opposed to the moretraditional single channel GPR, which covers an area of a few inches in width. Thissystem is considered to provide a more accurate depiction of buried utilities, active orinactive, marked or unmarked, within congested right-of-ways leading to fewerunforeseen conditions and construction change orders.This level of detail for underground investigation was not used with Osceola ParkwayPh. 1 due to the fact the technology was not commercially available until after Ph. 1design started. At the time, only subsurface explorations in selected areas (120locations) were used to identify known and marked underground utilities. The GPRprocess will identify utilities that are unknown and were the source of many of the Ph. 1project change orders.The <strong>Authority</strong>’s council, Bryant Miller Olive, has reviewed the Interlocal Agreement.Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Interlocal Agreement for theOsceola Parkway Phase 2 project between the <strong>Authority</strong> and Osceola County.Interlocal Agreement for Osceola Pkwy Ph 2.03.<strong>14</strong>.12.em

CATEGORY:Attachment(s):ConsentInterlocal AgreementAPPROVAL OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THE BOGGY CREEK ROADPHASE 1 PROJECTExplanation: The Board of Supervisors is requested to approve the InterlocalAgreement for the Boggy Creek Road Phase 1 project (“Project”) between the <strong>Authority</strong>and Osceola County.Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes authorizes local government units to make the mostefficient use of their powers by enabling them to cooperate with each other. This isknown as the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969. This Interlocal Agreement is aformal agreement between the County and the <strong>Authority</strong> to cooperate and coordinatetheir respective work on the Project. By entering into the Interlocal Agreement, the<strong>Authority</strong> and the County will both enjoy a coordinated construction effort. A singleconstruction manager will be contracted to construct the work for both entities and willbe responsible for coordinating the concurrent utility and roadway construction activities.This arrangement will reduce the potential for change orders and delay claimscompared to each entity hiring separate contractors for their work.The limits of the Project are from Boggy Creek Road 1,000 feet south of the intersectionwith Osceola Parkway north to 800 feet south of the intersection with Boggy CreekRoad East. Additionally, the project includes 800 feet of Osceola Parkway, west fromthe intersection with Boggy Creek Road. The County’s portion of the Project includesdrainage improvements and roadway widening. The <strong>Authority</strong>’s portion of the Projectincludes relocation of 2,430 lineal feet of existing 16” force main, water main extensionsconsisting of approximately 900 feet of 30” water main, 6,250 lineal feet of 16” watermain and 800 lineal feet of 24” water main within the project limits.The water main extensions are required per the <strong>Authority</strong>’s water master plan. Themain will interconnect the Eastern Regional <strong>Water</strong> System with the <strong>Toho</strong> III (BVL)system. The 30/24/16-inch water mains and future projects will allow the futuredecommissioning of the BVL and Springlake Village <strong>Water</strong> Treatment Plants andimprove the ability to move substantial quantities of water east and west across theservice area.Relocation of the existing force main is required to avoid conflicts with the County’sproposed roadway improvements.7D


The County is proposing to construct the 800-foot section of Osceola Parkway and theintersection of Boggy Creek Road and Osceola Parkway in conjunction with theOsceola Parkway Ph. 2 project. If funds are available the intersection of Boggy CreekRoad and Boggy Creek Road East will be constructed also. The remainder of theProject will be constructed at a later date to be determined.The County is proposing to contract with a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) forthe roadway and utility work. The CMAR will contract with a utility subcontractor for theTWA work. The CMAR is required to obtain a minimum of three bids for the utility workfrom TWA approved contractors. A Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) will bedeveloped for the work based on these bids and approved by the <strong>Authority</strong> and theCounty. The GMP will include the utility construction costs and the proportionate shareof the costs associated with CMAR fees. The GMP will require separate Boardapproval.To reduce issues and change orders the design will include Level A survey services tolocate existing utilities and identify possible conflicts with the alignment of the new watermains and the force main relocation. The Level A survey includes utility designation,subsurface excavations, survey and the use of 3D subsurface utility mapping, whichconsists of multi-channel ground penetrating radar (GPR) and multi-sensorelectromagnetic induction. All of the above items allow for a complete undergroundview of proposed pipe routes. The advantage of this system is that it collects data overa wider area (5 feet wide) per sweep as opposed to the more traditional single channelGPR, which covers an area of a few inches in width. This system is considered toprovide a more accurate depiction of buried utilities, active or inactive, marked orunmarked, within congested right-of-ways leading to fewer unforeseen conditions andconstruction change orders.The <strong>Authority</strong>’s council, Bryant Miller Olive, has reviewed the Interlocal Agreement.Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Interlocal Agreement for theBoggy Creek Road Phase 1 project between the <strong>Authority</strong> and Osceola County.Interlocal Agreement for Boggy Creek Rd Ph 1.03.<strong>14</strong>.12.em

The goal of this project is to performa condition assessment of four treatment facilities and capture the informationnecessary to optimally manage these assets. Assets at the treatment facilities willinclude buildings, tanks, motors, pumps, valves, instrumentation and controls.The condition assessment will include a determination of the “Physical Condition” (thecurrent state of repair and operation of the assets as influenced by age, historicalmaintenance and operating environment) and the “Process Condition” (the ability of theassets to meet operational requirements now and into the future) of each facility’sstructural, mechanical and electrical components.The information to be captured includes: asset name/number, asset class, parent asset(where applicable), inspection date, link to photo record, overall condition score,consequence of failure (significance to plant operations if the asset was to fail), criticality(calculated value used to prioritize repair, rehabilitation or replacement activities),installation costs, replacement costs, useful life, remaining useful life, and manufacturernameplate data (where available). This information will be provided in a form andmanner that will allow it to be uploaded into TWA’s existing work management system(DataStream/EAM) with minimal manual efforts from TWA staff. An estimate ofremaining useful life for each asset will be developed based on available data,manufacturer’s information, staff interviews, visual inspection and engineeringjudgment. The procedures and data management tools to be used for this project arethose used on the previously completed condition assessment engagements.7G

CATEGORY:Consent AgendaAttachment: Resolution Modifying System Development Charges PolicyForm of Agreement for Installment Payment of SystemDevelopment Charges Related to Governmental PropertiesAPPROVAL OF SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES POLICY AMENDMENT TOPROVIDE FOR TIME PAYMENT OF FEES BY GOVERNMENTS (RESOLUTION<strong>2012</strong>-001)Explanation: At the December 8, 2010 meeting the Board of Supervisors approved aresolution approving a consolidated system development charges policy for the<strong>Authority</strong>. Within that resolution and policy was the establishment of a policy that allowsbusiness or commercial development to pay their respective water and wastewatersystem development charges on an installment basis over a five or ten year period.The policy establishes this installment payment of the system development charges forthe property owners and tenants of the business or commercial property. The policy isnot applicable to governments because there is no manner to secure governmentalproperty if there is failure to pay. Because the <strong>Authority</strong> has no right to place a lien ongovernmental property, securing payment is problematic.After discussions between staff, the Board and the <strong>Authority</strong>’s counsel anamendment is proposed to the system development charge policy to allow governmentsin special circumstances to pay system development charges on an installmentpayment basis. This must be accomplished by separate agreement. Among otherterms, it is recommended that the government must acknowledge and agree to theextension of payments in the form of a monthly or annual surcharge or payment, mustagree that any TWA utility service can be discontinued for non-payment, and that, in theevent of non-payment, no rights or interest whatsoever in the water or wastewatercapacity represented by the sum of the unpaid balance of the system developmentcharges shall ever vest in the governmental owner (or any other owner) of the subjectproperty. As well, such an agreement must allow for the recognition of amounts dueTWA, repayment obligations and other reasoned covenants to pay.TWA general counsel has prepared a resolution incorporating this recommended policyinto the previous System Development Charges Policy previously adopted by theBoard.Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Resolution <strong>2012</strong>-001 modifyingthe System Development Charges Policy providing for a system development chargesinstallment payment policy for governments under limited circumstances.7H

TheCounty promises that it will promptly pay the principal of and interest on the foregoing payment obligationin the manner provided herein. Such obligation is secured by a pledge of and lien upon all legallyavailable revenues of the County other than ad valorem tax revenue. Such obligation shall not be orconstitute a general obligation or indebtedness of the County as a “bond” within the meaning of Article VII,Section 12 of the Constitution of Florida, but shall be payable solely from the revenues pledged hereunderin accordance with the terms hereof. Neither TWA nor any successor shall ever have the right to compelthe exercise that any ad valorem taxing power or use of ad valorem tax revenue to pay the obligation, orbe entitled to payment of such obligation from any funds of the County except from such legally availablerevenues.SECTION 6.COVENANT TO BUDGET AND APPROPRIATE.(A) Subject to the next paragraph, the County covenants and agrees and has a positive andaffirmative duty to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary and to deposit into aSystem Development Charge Fund to be hereinafter created, amounts sufficient to pay principal of andinterest as the same shall become due. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the County tobudget, appropriate and deposit such amounts shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shallcontinue until such non-ad valorem revenues or other legally available funds in amounts sufficient to makeall such required payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated, deposited and actually paid. No lienupon or pledge of such budgeted non-ad valorem revenues shall be in effect until such monies arebudgeted, appropriated and deposited as provided herein. The County further acknowledges and agreesthat the obligations of the County to include the amount of such payments in each of its annual budgetsand to pay such amounts from non-ad valorem revenues may be enforced in a court of competentjurisdiction in accordance with the remedies set forth herein.(B) Until such monies are budgeted, appropriated and deposited as provided herein, suchcovenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of such non-ad valoremrevenues, nor does it preclude the County from pledging in the future its non-ad valorem revenues, nordoes it require the County to levy and collect any particular non-ad valorem revenues, nor does it giveTWA a prior claim on the non-ad valorem revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of theCounty. Such covenant to budget and appropriate non-ad valorem revenues is subject in all respects tothe prior payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such non-ad valorem revenues heretofore orhereafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt instruments).Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that all obligationsof the County hereunder shall be payable from the portion of non-ad valorem revenues budgeted andappropriated and deposited as provided for herein and nothing herein shall be deemed to pledge advalorem tax power or ad valorem taxing revenues or to permit or constitute a mortgage or lien upon anyassets owned by the County and neither TWA nor any other person, may compel the levy of ad valoremtaxes on real or personal property within the boundaries of the County or the use or application of advalorem tax revenues in order to satisfy any payment obligations hereunder or to maintain or continue anyof the activities of the County which generate user service charges, regulatory fees, or any other non-advalorem revenues.

proposed to be incurred) to be paid from non-ad valorem revenues (collectively, "Debt"), including anyDebt payable from one or several specific revenue sources. For purposes of calculating maximum annualdebt service, balloon indebtedness shall be assumed to amortize in up to 20 years on a level debt servicebasis. In the event that the County is required to fund a reserve fund, the funding of such reserve fundshall be included in the calculation of debt service.SECTION 8.EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES.(A) The following shall constitute "Events of Default": (1) if the County fails to pay anypayment of principal of or interest or other debt payable hereunder from any non-ad valorem revenues asthe same becomes due and payable; (2) if the County defaults in the performance or observance of anycovenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (other than set forth in (1) above) and fails to cure thesame within thirty (30) days following notice thereof; or (3) filing of a petition by or against the Countyrelating to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or readjustment of debt of the County or for any otherrelief relating to the County under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any otherinsolvency act or law now or hereafter existing, or the involuntary appointment of a receiver or trustee forthe County, and the continuance of any such event for 90 days undismissed or undischarged.(B) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, TWA may, inaddition to any other remedies set forth in this Agreement, either at law or in equity, by suit, action,mandamus or other proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and allrights under the laws of the State, or granted or contained in this Agreement, and may enforce and compelthe performance of all duties required by this Agreement, or by any applicable statutes to be performed bythe County.(C) In case of an Event of Default, the remaining unpaid amount under the obligation providedfor herein shall be immediately due and payable.(D) The execution of this Agreement has been duly authorized by resolution of the County,and TWA shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement as evidence thereof.

However, other key criteria includingqualifications, methodology and staff comprise 70% of the score. Establishing theseweightings during RFP creation was thoughtfully done to ensure that the mostqualified firm having the highest quality solution could be selected as long as thoseadvantages outweighed the pricing differences.Explanation of Cost: Each vendor was asked to provide a Best-and-Final Offer forthe services outlined in the RFP. In order to view the costs equally, the EvaluationTeam created two scenarios to apply the vendor’s cost to. The first scenario lookedat the costs for a “typical month” for only <strong>Toho</strong> IV implementation.

MEMORANDUMTo:Brian WheelerRodney HendersonFrom: Bryant Miller Olive P.A.Re:TOHO <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series <strong>2012</strong>; analysis of SunTrustBank ProposalDate: <strong>March</strong> 8, <strong>2012</strong>We have been requested to provide an analysis of the SunTrust Bank proposal topurchase the referenced issue of Bonds in lieu of an underwritten bond offering to the capitalmarkets. We understand that Southeastern Investment Securities, LLC, as financial advisor, isproviding the financial analysis of the proposal. When issuing bonds into the capital markets inan underwritten transaction, the existing terms and conditions established by the Master BondResolution (Resolution No. 2010-008, as supplemented) control the terms of the bonds beingissued, and the purchasers of the bonds establish their price after taking into account theexisting terms and conditions. These conditions establish such provisions as rate covenants, theconditions under which additional bonds may be issued which have a parity lien on the<strong>Authority</strong>’s pledged revenues, the debt service reserve requirements, financial covenantsimposed on the <strong>Authority</strong>, events of default and available remedies. The idea is that theholders of all series of parity lien bonds have the same rights and the authority is subject to oneset of restrictions with respect to all of its debt.There are times when it makes financial sense for an issuer to seek a bank loan ratherthan access the capital markets. However, whenever an issuer enters into a bank loan,additional terms and conditions are often imposed on the issuer which would not be directlyapplicable to other parity bond holders. The purpose of this Memorandum is to highlight thesedifferences which are apparent in the SunTrust Bank proposal.Interest Rate Differences: In a typical fixed rate municipal bond, the interest rate is notsubject to adjustment after the issuance of the bonds. The sole exception to this would be anadjustment in the interest rate as a result of a “determination of taxability”, which would incurwhen the IRS or a federal court formally concludes that interest on an issuer’s bonds is not


Page 2excluded form gross income for federal income purposes. The Master Bond Resolution does notprovide for an adjustment to the interest rate borne by the bonds in the event of a“determination of taxability”. The SunTrust Bank proposal requires a series of potentialadjustments to the interest rate borne by the bonds over their life. While these requirements arenot unusual in bank loan transactions, their importance must be analyzed by your financialadvisor in light of the relative size of the bank loan when compared to all parity bonds to beoutstanding. The adjustment events requested by SunTrust Bank in their proposal are:1. After-tax Yield Maintenance: fairly common provisions found in most bankproposals for government financing include a requirement to adjust theinterest rate on the debt upwards to account for decreases in the highestmarginal tax bracket faced by banks, which is presently 35% in order topreserve the after tax yield for the bank. While this adjustment has not had apractical impact on issuers for many years, with the discussions in congress tochange the corporate tax rules, a decrease in the marginal rates may be morelikely. Essentially this is a risk in any fixed rate investment which the capitalmarkets address through a secondary market, but which banks prefer toaddress by shifting this risk to governmental borrowers. A related yieldadjustment is the increase in interest rates should the interest on the bondscease being excluded from gross income. Many years ago this was a fairlycommon provision in many governmental bond transactions. Recentlythough, as the market has matured and the many years of history pointing tothe rarity of this event, few if any current bond transactions have such aninterest adjustment. However, since this adjustment rest solely on theshoulders of the issuer in that only actions of the issuer can cause such adetermination, the likelihood of such risk can be managed by the issuer.2. Capital Adequacy Adjustments: These types of adjustments are fairly new. Withthe advent of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Legislation and the adoptionof Basel III (an international monetary treaty), many financial institutions arefacing the possibilities of adding to their capital reserves, an action oftenoccasioned by the mix of investments and loans which are reflected on thebank’s books. These provisions allow the bank to adjust (upward) theinterest rate paid by the issuer in order to facilitate the bank’s compliance inchanges in capital reserve requirements. We are finding that banks areseeking to shift this liability to the issuer, even though the issuer hasabsolutely no control over the timing in changes to the bank’s capitalrequirements nor control over whether such changes would be imposed. Weunderstand that SunTrust Bank has agreed to waive the capital adequacy


Page 3adjustment in exchange for a 10 basis point increase in the interest rate on theBonds.Covenants and Conditions: As stated earlier, many bank loans seek to imposecovenants on an issuer which are above and beyond those imposed on the issuer underparity debt instruments (Master Resolutions, Series Resolutions, etc.). Some of thesemay be relatively harmless yet result in the imposition of reporting and operatingobligations on the issuer which the issuer has not undertaken as a condition to the issueof its other parity debt. When the failure to comply with these additional conditionsand covenants can lead to a default and imposition of remedies, such actions affect notonly the bank loan but all parity debt. A summary of these provisions follows:1. Standard Terms and Conditions: Most bank proposals (including SunTrustBank’s) make a general statement that the final transaction documents aresubject to the “Bank’s policies and procedures”, and require that the issuerwill comply with the “other covenants, terms, and conditions that may bereasonably required by the Bank and its counsel and are customary (for theBank, that is) in financings of this nature”. One of the primary concerns inthe area of “other terms and conditions” is the list of events which can lead toa default and the remedies available as a result of the occurrence of an eventof default. Since these other terms, conditions, procedures and requirementsare not expressly stated in the proposal it is virtually impossible to make acomplete analysis in the comparison of the proposed bank loan with a capitalmarkets transaction. While most banks are generally reasonable in theserequests, there can be no assurance that a bank in any given transaction willalways be reasonable.2. Additional Bonds Test: It is often the case that a bank in a bank loan proposalwill require additional or stricter test for the issuance of additional paritybonds. In the SunTrust Bank proposal, the coverage factor is not beingincreased, but since the provision is a somewhat summary statement there isno assurance that the test as set forth in the Master Bond Resolution will beacceptable to the bank. It is our understanding that SunTrust Bank will agreeto accept the existing Master Bond Resolution additional bonds test provisionbut will require that the <strong>Authority</strong> obtain their consent if the <strong>Authority</strong> wantsto decrease the coverage requirement for additional parity bonds below whatcurrently exists. At present, such a change would likely require 51%bondholder consent.


Page 43. Rate Covenant: A bank will often seek additional rate covenants to increasethe security of their loan. The SunTrust Bank proposal is not appearing toseek any change in the existing rate covenant, but since it is expresslyrequired in the proposal, it is uncertain whether the covenant as currentlywritten in the Master Bond Resolution will remain satisfactory to SunTrustBank. It is our understanding that SunTrust Bank will agree to accept theexisting Master Bond Resolution rate covenant provisions but will requirethat the <strong>Authority</strong> obtain their consent if the <strong>Authority</strong> wants to decrease therate covenant requirement for parity bonds below what currently exists. Atpresent, such a change would likely require 51% bondholder consent.4. Reserve Requirement: The Master Bond Resolution authorizes a debt servicereserve fund to be established at the highest level permitted by applicablefederal tax laws regulating governmental bonds, but authorizes each series ofparity bonds to have their own reserve requirement, which can be as low aszero. The SunTrust Bank proposal is requiring a fully funded debt servicereserve for the refunding bonds, but has indicated a willingness to accept a50% reserve fund requirement. The existing parity debt has either no reservefund or a reserve fund equal to one-half of the maximum required reserverequirement. The <strong>Authority</strong> would have to fund the debt service reservefund from its own reserves rather than bond proceeds and incur the cost ofnegative carry for this amount (due to the inability to reinvest at the bondrate).


CATEGORY: New BusinessAttachments: Reclaimed <strong>Water</strong> Rates ComparisonAPPROVAL OF REQUEST TO ADVERTISE RECLAIMED WATER RATESExplanation: At the September 28, 2011 meeting, the Board of Supervisors approvedequalization of the <strong>Authority</strong>'s water and wastewater rates with a single unified rateschedule for both water and wastewater service. The new rate schedule did not includeany adjustment to the <strong>Authority</strong>'s reclaimed water rates. The reclaimed water rates didnot require equalization as they were equalized earlier. The rates were not adjusted atthe same time as the water and wastewater rates because staff requested the<strong>Authority</strong>'s rate consultant, Burton & Associates, to perform an analysis of the large userclass of customers. The large user rate class consists of two types of customers, thosewhose reclaimed water service could be interrupted for periods of time and those whogenerally required uninterrupted service. Golf courses are an example of an interruptibleservice customer because a golf course usually has a permitted alternate back-up watersource such as a well. The Kissimmee Utility <strong>Authority</strong> Cane Island Plant is an exampleof customer requiring non-interruptible service for its cooling towers.The reclaimed water rates recommended for advertisement for a public hearing andadoption consist of two rate classes; General Service for retail customers and LargeUsers for large commercial customers including golf courses, power plants, and thetown of Celebration. Within the Large User class there are two types of customers asindicated above, interruptible and non-interruptible customers. An outline of theproposed rate classes is as follows:General Service (Retail)Includes both Residential and Commercial CustomersRate has a monthly base facility charge by meter sizeThe use rates consist of 4 – tier inclining block usage ratesLarge UsersInterruptible and Non- interruptible customersBase facility charge based upon Equivalent Irrigation Connection (EIC)EICs calculated by dividing 265 gallons into the customer's average dailyusageOne EIC = 265 gallonsEach customer class has a single usage rate block.10A


An analysis of the cost of service for interruptible and non-interruptible customersindicated there were some differences in the costs associated with each. Both classesof large users do not share in the cost of the retail customers' distribution systems andin 20% of the costs of the main transmission systems; therefore, these costs werededucted from the large user rate calculation. The interruptible customers do not sharein a little over a third of the pumping and storage costs for the reclaimed water systembecause these customers do not require the level of reliability and back-upinfrastructure to insure service. Therefore, the rates for the interruptible class ofreclaimed water customers are less than the rate for the non-interruptible class. Thesplit of the large user class into the two rate classes will result in a decrease in themonthly bills for the interruptible customers and an increase in the bills for the noninterruptiblecustomers (See the attached Large User Bill Comparison).The proposed rates also included a 5% revenue increase as was included in the waterand wastewater rates adopted in 2011.Recommendation: Staff recommends advertising the proposed reclaimed water ratesfor public hearing to be held at the April 11, <strong>2012</strong> meeting.Reuse Rates Advertise.03.<strong>14</strong>.<strong>2012</strong>blw

CATEGORY:New BusinessAttachments: First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement on Regional Cooperation for theCentral Florida Coordinating Area Rulemaking, Monitoring, and ModelingAPPROVAL OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT RELATINGTO REGIONAL COOPERATION FOR THE CENTRAL FLORIDA COORDINATINGAREA RULEMAKING, MONITORING, AND MODELINGExplanation: At the October 13, 2010 meeting, the Board of Supervisors approved theInterlocal Agreement between the <strong>Authority</strong>, Orange County, Polk County, City of St.Cloud, and Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) on regional cooperation for theCentral Florida Coordinating Area (CFCA) rulemaking, monitoring, and modeling. Acopy of the agenda item from the 2010 meeting is attached for background. The<strong>Authority</strong> and the four other utilities in the Interlocal agreement are collectively calledSTOPR (St. Cloud, TWA, Orange County, Polk County, and RCID).This CFCA effort has morphed from STOPR being a reviewer and comment provider onany proposed rules, to the STOPR group becoming involved in a participative processwith the <strong>Water</strong> Management Districts and the Florida Department of EnvironmentalProtection, now known as the Central Florida <strong>Water</strong> Initiative (CFWI).STOPR is a major contributor in this process, making the outcome more accurate dueto multiple data contributions and more equitable to all stakeholders due to collaborationand public participation. The STOPR Group’s agents, primarily PB Americas, Inc.,facilitate and guide many of the technical processes. As indicated, the PB Americascontract value approved in the original Interlocal Agreement to follow the CFCA processwas for $503,620.00. Polk County’s share was $61,441.64. This amendment willensure the STOPR Group’s continued role as a major stakeholder, facilitator, andcontributor to the CFWI process through December 31, 2013 at an additional cost of$926,418.00 for the Group. The original Agreement requires the STOPR group toreimburse Polk County for its payments to PB Americas to carry out the work on thebasis of time and materials, based on a formula that allocates fifty percent (50%) of thecost equally to each party and fifty percent (50%) of the cost proportionally by thecurrent total permitted water flows. Polk County’s share of the contract is 12.2%,making Polk’s proportionate cost for the additional work a not-to-exceed amount of$113,023.00. The total amount to be spent by Polk County for this project will be$174,464.64.10B


In 2006, the South Florida <strong>Water</strong> Management District, the St. Johns River <strong>Water</strong>Management District, and the Southwest Florida <strong>Water</strong> Management District,collectively called “the Districts,” identified the Central Florida Coordination Area (CFCA)as a region of Florida in which water supply issues needed to be addressed becausethe groundwater supply in the area was projected to be insufficient to meet water supplydemands beyond the year 2013. The CFCA encompasses the utility service areasserved by the STOPR Group. The WMDs adopted a set of interim rules to governpermitting of the groundwater supply through December <strong>2012</strong>. The interim rules are tosunset on December 31, <strong>2012</strong>. Prior to that date, the WMDs proposed to develop a newset of rules for water use permitting based upon the development of a morecomprehensive and coordinated data on groundwater availability for the area.With the sunset of CFCA in December <strong>2012</strong>, the <strong>Water</strong> Management Districts and theFlorida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) recognized the only reasonableapproach to determining true groundwater availability in Central Florida is through acollaborative effort with all stakeholders. The STOPR Group expressed concern overthe collaborative efforts performed to date, and the Districts in 2011 agreed to moveforward with a more interactive process to establish a replacement for CFCA, an effortnow known as the Central Florida <strong>Water</strong> Initiative (CFWI). As opposed to CFCA, theCFWI is a consensus-based collaboration between all stakeholders including the threeWMDs, Central Florida's largest utility providers including TWA, Florida Department ofEnvironmental Protection, and the Department of Agriculture. The results of the CFWIprocess will be based on a comprehensive review of historical water level andenvironmental data to include estimates of groundwater availability and a uniform rulemakingframework, which is expected to be in place by December 31, 2013.STOPR is a major contributor in providing technical support and input to the process toensure that the outcome is as accurate as possible and that the utility community cansupport the outcome. The STOPR Group’s technical consultants, primarily PBAmericas, Inc., facilitate and guide many of the technical team processes. Since theCFWI effort is collaborative, any action taken by the Districts as a result will bethoroughly vetted with all stakeholders; and, with the volume of data and input thatSTOPR members can contribute, it is essential that STOPR’s participation continue toensure the process stays equitable and as accurate as possible. As the CFCA processevolved and STOPR’s role became more involved and participatory, the fundingprovided under the interlocal agreement is insufficient to complete the work. Theproposed First Amendment to the interlocal agreement will provide funding and costsharing for STOPR’s continued efforts in the CFWI process through December 31,2013.


The interlocal agreement adopted in 2010 for the CFCA effort provided for funding inthe amount of $503,000 with the <strong>Authority</strong> commitment under the cost sharing formulaof approximately $<strong>14</strong>8,636. The First Amendment increases the funding for the CFWIeffort to a total of $1,430,038.00, an increase of $926,424. Under the cooperativefunding formula, the <strong>Authority</strong>'s portion is $422,576.00, an increase of $273,940.Though this increase is significant, the scope, level of effort, and level of participation forthe CFWI effort has substantially changed, becoming more involved and taking more ofa leadership role. The outcomes of the CFWI effort will provide the technical basis togovern water supply permitting for Central Florida for the future.Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the First Amendment to theInterlocal Agreement Relating to Regional Cooperation for the Central FloridaCoordinating Area Rulemaking, Monitoring, and Modeling.1 st Amend CFCA Interlocal STOPR.03.<strong>14</strong>.<strong>2012</strong>1blw


Category: New BusinessAttachment: Interlocal Agreement for Co-operation on Central FloridaCoordinating Area rule revisionsMap of CFCA AreaAPPROVAL OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN REGIONALCOOPERATION FOR THE CENTRAL FLORIDA COORDINATION AREA (CFCA)RULEMAKING, MONITORING, AND MODELINGExplanation: In 2006, the three <strong>Water</strong> Management Districts (WMDs) which havejurisdiction within Central Florida, South Florida <strong>Water</strong> Management District (SFWMD),St. Johns River <strong>Water</strong> Management District (SJRWMD), and the Southwest Florida<strong>Water</strong> Management District (SWFWMD) established the Central Florida CoordinatingArea (CFCA). The CFCA covers the counties of Osceola, Orange, Seminole, andportions of Brevard, Lake, and Polk Counties. Establishment of the CFCA resulted froma concern from the three WMDs that groundwater supplies within the area werebecoming limited and the need to develop consistent and coordinated policy andregulations to deal with the permitting and allocation of the groundwater supply if it wasbecoming limited. The three WMDs established regulations for the CFCA area that wentinto effect in 2007 and have a sunset date of December 31, <strong>2012</strong>. One of the primaryreasons for the regulations and setting a sunset date was to allow the WMDs time toconduct evaluations and investigations to gain additional information on the conditionand availability of additional water from the Floridan Aquifer. One key component of theCFCA regulations, which has impacted TWA as well as other utilities within the area, isthe restriction on withdrawals from the aquifer to meet future demands after 2013. Allutilities within the CFCA are presently required to meet future water demands after 2013by developing alternative water supplies.The three WMDs have initiated efforts on developing revisions to the CFCA rules. Thereare two key technical efforts underway which will provide the technical/scientific basisfor the proposed rule revisions. One effort involves significant modeling efforts of theFloridan Aquifer within the CFCA incorporating information obtained over the past threeyears and coordinating results from two different WMD models. The modeling willlargely provide the basis for determining the availability of additional water or thepotential reduction of existing withdrawals. In conjunction with the modeling efforts, theWMDs have undertaken an assessment of potential impacts to wetlands and waterbodies within the CFCA that may have resulted from aquifer withdrawals.


The WMDs have reported that they have evaluated approximately 400 wetland systemswithin the CFCA and have evaluated many of the lakes in the area. Results from theseevaluations will be utilized in conjunction with the modeling to assess the potentialexisting environmental impacts from aquifer withdrawals and potential impacts fromfuture permitted withdrawals.The STOPR Group (City of St. Cloud, TWA, Orange County, Polk County, and ReedyCreek Improvement District (RCID)) propose to enter into an Interlocal Agreement toshare the cost of retaining technical experts/consultants to evaluate the modeling andenvironmental assessment efforts of the WMDs and to provide feedback to the WMDson their findings. The technical experts/consultants will also work co-operatively with theWMDs on the modeling efforts to develop a consensus on the models and their results.This co-operative contracting and funding effort has been done by the STOPR Groupfor several other issues such as water use permitting, WUP compliance and monitoring,and evaluation of the Kissimmee River Reservation Rule efforts. For this InterlocalAgreement and co-operative effort, STOPR will retain PB America as the primaryconsultant through an existing contract arrangement with Polk County. PB America isthe consultant that developed the STOPR groundwater model for our <strong>Water</strong> UsePermits (WUP) which is similar to the SFWMD model which is one of the two modelsbeing used in the CFCA Rule revision. The consultant has substantial experience withthe models of all three WMDs and extensive experience with the STOPR members andour permitting efforts since 2006. Additionally, Tetra-Tech, TWA’s consultant for itsWUP and Cypress Lake Wellfield and an environmental consultant, JanickiEnvironmental, will be subconsultants to PB America. Under this Interlocal Agreement,Polk County will be the lead agency contracting with the consultant and the otherSTOPR members reimbursing the County on a cost sharing basis for the contract costs.The cost sharing formula developed between the STOPR members is based on theutilities equally sharing 50% of the cost (10% each) and being allocated a portion of theother 50% based upon the utilities fraction or % of the total of the water permitallocations for all five utilities within SFWMD. TWA’s portion of the cost is the largest ofthe five because the <strong>Authority</strong> has the largest WUP allocation in SFWMD of the fiveutilities. The contract cost is based on a not to exceed amount of $503,620 withpayments made on a reimbursement for time and materials basis. The PB contract hasa term of 28 months; but, the efforts could extend longer depending on the progress andpace of the regulatory effort. TWA’s share of the total cost is up to $<strong>14</strong>8,820.00.The STOPR group is working on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that willincorporate Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) and Seminole County into the co-


operative effort. Under the proposed MOU, the other two utilities would shareinformation and retain technical consultants that complement the STOPR efforts at theirexpense.Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Interlocal Agreement forParticipation in Regional Cooperation for the Central Florida Coordination AreaRulemaking, Monitoring, and Modeling and authorizes the expenditure of up to$<strong>14</strong>8,820 under the agreement.CFCA Interlocal Agrmt.03.13.2010.blw


CATEGORY:New BusinessAttachment: Consulting Services Agreement with SAICAPPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH SAIC TO PROVIDE PROJECT MANAGEMENTSUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE AUTOMATIC METER INFRASTRUCTURING(“AMI”) SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATIONExplanation: The AMI Project will run concurrent with the Customer InformationSystem (“CIS”) implementation project that is currently underway. In order to supportboth projects, it is necessary to backfill staff positions that are currently resourced onthe AMI Project, specifically, the Customer Service Manager and Director of BusinessServices who provide on-going project management support as a part of the AMIProject’s project team and steering committee. Staff resources will shift to the CISimplementation over an 8 to 12 month period while the AMI Project is moving forward inPhase 2A, the installation of approximately 16,600 endpoints in the Kissimmee Utility<strong>Authority</strong> (“KUA”) TWA-only area.As background, SAIC helps develop solutions for water utilities to implement AMI toenable greater operational performance and fiscal control of implementation and ongoingmaintenance costs. The AMI project management support services include thetypical services for any large project such as tracking work against the requirements,documenting work and ensuring procedures are sufficient to meet the implementationobjectives. On the quality assurance side the work will focus on insuring the systemfunctions as expected as the installation progresses.Staff is proposing that the <strong>Authority</strong> enter into a Consultant Services Agreement (“CSA”)with SAIC to provide project management support services during Phase 2, with a notexceed amount of $95,000. The scope of work breaks down under the following tasks:Task 1.1 – Project Management Procedures Development ($27,000)SAIC will develop procedural modifications to be used during Phase 2 to improvequality assurance and data consistency. These modifications will be closelycoordinated with the <strong>Authority</strong>’s Project Manager to ensure coordination withexisting systems and the <strong>Authority</strong>’s ability to effectively implement them. Therevised procedures will be documented in a Project Management Manual.10C


Tasks 1.2 – Implementation Oversight ($28,000)SAIC will oversee project management during the first two months of Phase 2installations to ensure that the procedures developed under Task 1.1appropriately and effectively address real-life conditions installation. Proceduralcorrections will be made as needed in response to any identified issues.Task 1.3 – Implementation Support ($40,000) – optional on an as-needed basisSAIC will provide off-site support to the <strong>Authority</strong> during the remaining months ofPhase 2 implementation. This limited support may include assisting with issuessuch as (but not limited to):Project Manager guidance regarding continued use of recommendedproceduresVendor performance issuesReview of reports to ensure compliance with desired quality levelsThe proposed services to be contract under the CSA will help supplement staffresources that are being redeployed to the CIS implementation over the next 12months. The <strong>Authority</strong> can potentially reduce a portion of the fee under Task 1.3 as staffresources are freed up following a successful CIS Implementation.RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval the contract with SAIC to provideproject management support services for the installation of the AMI system.10C-Approval to provide project management support services for the AMI project.3.<strong>14</strong>.12rh
