17, 2022, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Central Time, at Warrior’s Hall, 201 Stillwell Boulevard, Crestview, FL.
This meeting will be held in-person (no virtual component) to provide interested persons an opportunity to
express their views about the draft study.
The Northwest Crestview Bypass Alternative Corridor Evaluation (ACE) Study is a high-level planning study
that focuses on the feasibility for a westerly bypass around Crestview as a continuation of the Southwest
Bypass currently under construction. This northwest segment connects to the Southwest Bypass at US 90 and
continues northwesterly to State Road 85. The purpose of this study is to provide regional system connectivity
and improve mobility by providing an alternative to State Road 85 and completing the Western Bypass around
the City of Crestview, consistent with local plans. The study area extends from US 90 north to Bill Lundy
Road. The ACE Study (anticipated complete in 2023) will recommend corridor(s) to advance to the next
phase, which is a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study. Future phases are not funded.
Maps, drawings, and other information will be on display at the meeting. A presentation will be
provided. County representatives will be available to discuss the study, answer questions, and receive
comments. Persons wishing to submit written comments may do so at the meeting or may contact the County
Project Manager using the information provided. The deadline to submit official comments related to this

CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Barry Henderson, Development Services Director, Nicholas Schwendt, Senior Planner
DATE: 11/7/2022
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1901 - Antioch Road Comprehensive Plan Amendment
BACKGROUND:
On August 21, 2022, staff received an application to annex and to amend the comprehensive plan and zoning
designations for property located on Antioch Road.
The subject property is currently located within unincorporated Okaloosa County with a future land use and
zoning designation of Low Density Residential and Residential-1, respectively.
The application requests the Commercial (C) future land use designation for the property.
The Planning and Development Board recommended approval on October 3, 2022, and the first reading was
approved by the City Council on October 10, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
The property description is as follows:
Property Owner: Miller Jason
891 S Ferdon Blvd
Crestview, FL 32536
Parcel ID: 26-3N-24-0000-0015-001B
Site Size: 1.23 acres

Page 55 of 266
The subject property is currently vacant, and a development application has not been submitted. Based on the
requested land-use and zoning designations, the property can be developed for commercial use.
Staff reviewed the request for a comprehensive plan amendment and finds the following:
- The proposed future land use map designation is compatible with the surrounding area.
- The proposed future land use map designation is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and
land development code.
- The process for adoption of the future land use map amendment follows all requirements of Florida
statute sections 163.3184 (3) and (5).
-
The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to goals, policies, and objectives of the
comprehensive plan. It only proposes a land use change to the future land use map for a site-
specific small-scale development.
- The subject property is not located within an area of critical state concern.
Courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on September 9,
2022. The property was posted on September 20, 2022. An advertisement ran in the Crestview News Bulletin
on September 22 and 29, 2022.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
This item is consistent with the goals in A New View Strategic Plan 2020 as follows.
Foundational – these are the four areas of focus that make up the necessary foundation of a successful local
government.
Financial Sustainability – Achieve long term financial sustainability.
Organizational Capacity, Effectiveness & Efficiency – To efficiently & effectively provide the highest
quality of public services.
Quality of Life – these six areas focus on the overall experience when provided by the city.
Community Character – Promote desirable growth with a hometown atmosphere.

during the moratorium on annexation fees. There is no additional cost of advertising as the comprehensive plan
amendment request was included in the advertisement for annexation.

The subject property is currently developed for residential use and a development application has not been
submitted. Based on the requested land-use and zoning designations, the property can be developed for
commercial use.
Staff has reviewed the application based on the criteria detailed in Florida statute 171.043 for annexations and
finds the following:
- The property is contiguous to the city limits;
- The property is comprised of one (1) lot in unincorporated Okaloosa County, and is therefore
considered compact;
- The annexation of the property would not create an enclave
- The subject property is not included in the boundary of another municipality; and,
- The subject property meets the definition of urban purposes.
Courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on September 9,
2022. A letter was sent via certified mail to the Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners on September 20,
2022. The property was posted on September 20, 2022. An advertisement ran in the Crestview News Bulletin

The subject property is currently developed for residential use and a development application has not been

commercial use.
Staff reviewed the request for a comprehensive plan amendment and finds the following:
- The proposed future land use map designation is compatible with the surrounding area.
- The proposed future land use map designation is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and
land development code.
- The process for adoption of the future land use map amendment follows all requirements of Florida
statute sections 163.3184 (3) and (5).
-
The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to goals, policies, and objectives of the
comprehensive plan. It only proposes a land use change to the future land use map for a site-
specific small-scale development.
- The subject property is not located within an area of critical state concern.
Courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on September 9,
2022. The property was posted on September 20, 2022. An advertisement ran in the Crestview News Bulletin

CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Barry Henderson, Development Services Director, Nicholas Schwendt, Senior Planner
DATE: 11/7/2022
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1906 - Henderson Street Annexation
BACKGROUND:
On August 31, 2022, staff received an application to annex and to amend the comprehensive plan and zoning
designations for property located at 697 Henderson Street.
The subject property is currently located within unincorporated Okaloosa County with a future land use and
zoning designation of Low Density Residential and Residential-1, respectively.
The Planning and Development Board recommended approval of the request on October 3, 2022, and the first
reading was approved by the City Council on October 10, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
The property description is as follows:
Property Owner: Tarpley Darryl E

Page 110 of 266
The subject property is currently vacant, and a development application has not been submitted. Based on the
requested land-use and zoning designations, the property can be developed for residential use.
Staff has reviewed the application based on the criteria detailed in Florida statute 171.043 for annexations and
finds the following:
- The property is contiguous to the city limits;
- The property is comprised of one (1) lot in unincorporated Okaloosa County, and is therefore
considered compact;
- The annexation of the property would not create an enclave
- The subject property is not included in the boundary of another municipality; and,
- The subject property meets the definition of urban purposes.
Courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on September 9,
2022. A letter was sent via certified mail to the Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners on September 20,
2022. The property was posted on September 20, 2022. An advertisement ran in the Crestview News Bulletin
on September 22 and 29, 2022.

Foundational – these are the four areas of focus that make up the necessary foundation of a successful local
government.
Financial Sustainability – Achieve long term financial sustainability.
Organizational Capacity, Effectiveness & Efficiency – To efficiently & effectively provide the highest
quality of public services.
Quality of Life – these six areas focus on the overall experience when provided by the city.
Community Character – Promote desirable growth with a hometown atmosphere.
Opportunity – Promote an environment that encourages economic and educational opportunity.

The successful annexation of this property will have positive future impacts, including ad valorem revenue
based on future taxable assessed value, development and building permit fees, and utility usage fees.

The subject property is currently vacant, and a development application has not been submitted. Based on the
requested land-use and zoning designations, the property can be developed for residential use.
Staff reviewed the request for a comprehensive plan amendment and finds the following:
- The proposed future land use map designation is compatible with the surrounding area.
- The proposed future land use map designation is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and
land development code.
- The process for adoption of the future land use map amendment follows all requirements of Florida
statute sections 163.3184 (3) and (5).
-
The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to goals, policies, and objectives of the
comprehensive plan. It only proposes a land use change to the future land use map for a site-
specific small-scale development.
- The subject property is not located within an area of critical state concern.
Courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on September 9,
2022. The property was posted on September 20, 2022. An advertisement ran in the Crestview News Bulletin

Staff Report
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 14,
2022
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Barry Henderson, Development Services Director, Nicholas Schwendt, Senior Planner
DATE: 11/10/2022
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1911 - North Ferdon & Third Ave Rezoning
BACKGROUND:
On September 9, 2022, staff received an application to annex and to amend the comprehensive plan and zoning
designations for property located at 1202 N Ferdon Boulevard.
The subject property is currently located within unincorporated Okaloosa County with a future land use and
zoning designation of Mixed Use.
The application requests the Commercial Low-Intensity District (C-1) zoning designation for the property.
The Planning and Development Board recommended approval of the request on November 7, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
The property description is as follows:
Property Owner: O'Daniels Jason & April M
411 Pendo Pl
Crestview, FL 32536
Parcel ID: 04-3N-23-1840-0004-0080
Site Size: 0.37 acres
Current FLU: Okaloosa County Mixed Use
Current Zoning: Okaloosa County Mixed Use
Current Land Use: Commercial
The following table provides the surrounding land use designations, zoning districts, and existing uses.
Direction FLU Zoning Existing Use
North Okaloosa County Mixed Use Okaloosa County Mixed Use Residential & Vacant
East Okaloosa County Mixed Use Okaloosa County Mixed Use Commercial
South Commercial (C) Commercial Low-Intensity District
(C-1) Vacant
West Okaloosa County Mixed Use Okaloosa County Mixed Use Residential & Commercial
Page 165 of 266
The subject property is currently developed for commercial use use and a development application has not been
submitted. Based on the requested land-use and zoning designations, the property use will continue as
commercial.
Staff reviewed the request for rezoning and finds the following:
- The proposed zoning is consistent with the proposed future land use designation.
- The uses within the requested zoning district are compatible with uses in the adjacent zoning districts.
- The requested use is not substantially more or less intense than allowable development on adjacent
parcels.
Courtesy notices were mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the subject property on October 14,
2022. The property was posted on October 25, 2022. An advertisement ran in the Crestview News Bulletin on
November 3 & 10, 2022.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
This item is consistent with the goals in A New View Strategic Plan 2020 as follows.
Foundational – these are the four areas of focus that make up the necessary foundation of a successful local
government.
Financial Sustainability – Achieve long term financial sustainability.
Organizational Capacity, Effectiveness & Efficiency – To efficiently & effectively provide the highest
quality of public services.
Quality of Life – these six areas focus on the overall experience when provided by the city.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The fees for the rezoning request have been waived for this application as it was received during the
moratorium on annexation fees. There is no additional cost of advertising as the rezoning request was included
in the advertisement for annexation.

3.9 Motion to Reconsider: An action of the Council may be reconsidered only at the same meeting at which
the action was taken or at the next regularly scheduled meeting. A motion to reconsider may be made only by a
Councilmember who voted on the prevailing side of the question and must be concurred in by a majority of
those present at the meeting. An adoption of a motion to reconsider shall rescind the action reconsidered.
3.10 Motion to Rescind: An action of the Council taken at a previous meeting (the “previous action”)
may be rescinded at a subsequent meeting. Motions to Rescind shall be governed by the following process:
1. A Councilmember seeking rescission of a previous action shall place a Motion to Consider Rescission on
the agenda of a regular Council meeting. If a majority of the full membership of the Council approves the
Motion to Consider Rescission, the Motion to Rescind shall be placed on the agenda of the next regular Council
meeting. If less than a majority of the full membership vote in favor of the Motion to Consider Rescission, no
Motion to Rescind the previous action shall be considered by the Council.

action or set a date certain for its consideration.
4. Notwithstanding anything stated above, a Motion to Rescind initiated by a Councilmember who voted on
the losing side in connection with the previous action shall not be in order unless the Council determines:
a. Subsequent information has become known that (i) would have been material to the Council’s decision on
the previous action and (ii) would have militated for a different result; or
b. A rescission of the previous action is imperative to avoid a material cost, risk, harm, or other jeopardy to
the City or its citizens, and the material cost, risk, harm, or other jeopardy could not have been known at the
time of the Council’s previous action.
5. For purposes of the Motion to Rescind, a Councilmember who was absent for a vote on the motion in
connection with the previous action is deemed to have been on the prevailing side of the vote.
3.11 Tie Vote: In the event of a tie vote on any motion, the motion shall be considered lost.
Page 179 of 266
3.12 Vote Change: Any Councilmember may change his or her vote, before the next item is called for
consideration on or before a recess or adjournment is called, whichever occurs first, but not thereafter, without
the unanimous consent of the Councilmembers present and eligible to vote.
3.13 Privilege of Closing Debate: Any Councilmember may move to close debate and call for the question on
the motion being considered which shall be nondebatable. The Chair may then call for the question.
3.14 Action Savings: No action taken by the Council shall be deemed void or invalid because of the failure to
adhere to Robert’s Rules of Order or the provisions of these rules of order and procedure, except as may
otherwise be provided by general law.
3.15 Ex Parte Communications:
1. The substance of any ex-parte communication with a local public official which relates to quasi-judicial
action pending before the official is not presumed prejudicial to the action if the subject of the communication
and the identity of the person, group, or entity with whom the communication took place is disclosed and made
part of the record before final action on the matter.
2. A local public official may read a written communication from any person. However, a written
communication that relates to quasi-judicial action pending before a local public official shall not be presumed
prejudicial to the action, and such written communication shall be made a part of the record before final action
on the matter.
3. Local public officials may conduct investigations and site visits and may receive expert opinions regarding
quasi-judicial action pending before them. Such activities shall not be presumed prejudicial to the action if the
existence of the investigation, site visit, or expert opinion is made a part of the record before final action on the
matter.
4. Disclosure made pursuant to subparagraphs 1., 2., and 3 must be made before or during the public meeting
at which a vote is taken on such matters, so that persons who have opinions contrary to those expressed in the
ex parte communication are given a reasonable opportunity to refute or respond to the communication. This
subsection does not subject local public officials to part III of chapter 1122 for not complying with this
paragraph.
SECTION IV
4. TYPES OF MEETINGS:

Mayor, Councilmembers, City Manager, and City Clerk to bring before the Council any business that he or she
feels should be deliberated upon by the Council. These matters need not be specifically listed on the agenda
but may be acted upon by a majority vote of the council members present and eligible to vote on the
matter. Except in instances where extraordinary conditions are necessitated, the Mayor, Councilmembers, City
Manager and City Attorney shall notify the City Clerk of forthcoming agenda topics in keeping with the above
deadlines and strive to supply backup materials for timely distribution with the agenda packets.
6.4 Consent Agenda: The Consent Agenda may be used to handle routine matters on the agenda
expeditiously. There is no separate discussion of these items unless the Mayor, a Councilmember, or member
of the public requests an item be removed for consideration in its normal sequence on the agenda. The
approval of the Consent Agenda is usually handled in one motion from the Council table, "I move that the
Consent Agenda, (item numbers may be included) be approved; or if items are to be removed, "for good cause"
or "discussion", a typical motion might be, “I move that we approve the Consent Agenda
items through with the exception of item .” The approval of minutes from previous meetings will be
a part of the Consent Agenda.
6.5 Invocation Policy: It shall be the policy of the City Council that the procedures stated in this rule
concerning opening invocation shall govern all official meetings of the City Council and that the members of
the City Council and City staff shall adhere to these rules. These policies and procedures are not intended, shall
not be implemented, and shall not be construed in any way to affiliate the City Council or the City with, nor
express a preference for or against any faith, belief, opinion, religion, or denomination. Rather, these policies
and procedures are intended to acknowledge and express the City Council respect for the diversity of religious
denominations and faiths represented and practiced among the citizens of the City.
6.5.1 The City Clerk may invite religious leaders, chaplains, ministers, rabbis or similar of congregations
located within the jurisdictional limits of the City or within (5) five miles of the city limits to conduct the
opening invocation, with the volunteer religious leaders selected from a wide pool of area clergy with
reasonable effort to ensure a wide variety of religious leaders. Staff will develop a list of volunteers to select
from. Notwithstanding the preceding, no invocation speaker shall be scheduled to offer an invocation at
consecutive meetings of the City Council, or at more than three (3) City Council meetings in any calendar year.
In being consistent with U.S. Supreme Court precedent, invocation speakers will reflect ideals relating to peace
and security for the nation; safety of our armed forces, police, firefighters, and emergency service personnel;
wisdom for the lawmakers; and justice for the people. No member of the City Council, City employee or staff,
or any other person in attendance at the meeting shall be required to participate in any opening invocation that
is offered. An opportunity to exit the City Council Chambers and return upon completion of the opening
invocation is afforded to those who do not wish to participate or witness the opening invocation.
6.5.2 Persons in attendance at the City Council meeting are invited to stand during the opening invocation and
Pledge of Allegiance. However, such invitation shall not be construed as a demand, order, or any other type of
command. Such invitation constitutes a general invitation that a person in attendance may stand if he/she
wishes to do so for such observances.
6.5.3 Agenda Disclaimer. The following statement shall be placed at the bottom of City Council meeting
Page 182 of 266
agendas:
Any invocation that is offered before the official start of the City Council meeting shall be the voluntary
offering of a private person, to and for the benefit of the City Council. The views or beliefs expressed by the
invocation speaker have not been previously reviewed or approved by the City Council or the city staff, and the
City is not allowed by law to endorse the religious beliefs or views of this, or any other speaker. Persons in
attendance at the City Council meeting are invited to stand during the opening invocation and Pledge of
Allegiance. However, such invitation shall not be construed as a demand, order, or any other type of command.
No person in attendance at the meeting shall be required to participate in any opening invocation that is offered.

does not wish to participate in or witness the opening invocation.

CITY OF CRESTVIEW Item # 10.1.
Staff Report
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 14,
2022
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Action Item
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Wayne Steele, Director of Operations, Jayce Vanderford, Project Manager
DATE: 11/10/2022
SUBJECT: Crestview Welcome Signs
BACKGROUND:
The four welcome signs located at Hwy 90 W, Hwy 90 E, Hwy 85 N, and Hwy 85 S were installed by Signs
Galore in the early 2000's. Over the years, the signs have held up remarkably well but are now faded and
weathered. The welcome signs are the first thing that people see when entering the city limits. These signs are a
small, but impactful representation of our city's image.
DISCUSSION:
The current signs have very faded paint and lettering, all have missing stones, one with significant cracks
throughout the stone, and all four signs are in some measure of disrepair and need immediate care. There is a
need to revive the signs and create an eye-appealing welcome to our city. Signs Galore as the original
contractor, was required to provide engineered drawings for approval and a permit for the original signs to be
placed within F.D.O.T. right of way. This process originally took six to eight months to accomplish. Recently,
speaking with F.D.O.T. about our wishes to replace the signs, their permitting staff indicated if no structural
changes were to be made to the signs, we are allowed to move forward with restoration of the original signs,
without needing to provide new engineered drawings or permitting. All that is required is notification of the
restoration work schedule.
Moving forward as a restoration project, we believe it would be better to use the original contractor. Signs
Galore has provided a new sign design and potential color scheme options on the existing sign base. This new
design includes inspection and assurance of the integrity of each sign base, pressure washing, replacing missing
stones, painting of the newly selected paint scheme and providing solar light panels for night time illumination
of the welcome signs.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
This item is consistent with the goals in A New View Strategic Plan 2020 as follows;
Foundational- these are the areas of focus that make up the necessary foundation of a successful local
government.
Financial Sustainability- Achieve long term financial sustainability
Organizational Capacity, Effectiveness & Efficiency- To efficiently & effectively provide the highest quality
of public services

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Signs Galore has quoted $8,225.47 to pressure wash, replace missing stones, repaint, and add solar light panels
for all 4 signs. Funding is available in the General Fund's General & Administrative Division.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully requests Council to approve a color scheme for the Welcome to Crestview signs and approve
Signs Galore as the contractor for this restoration project.

Staff received the initial application submittal for the Princeton Grove project, a 107-unit senior adult living
apartment project located at the intersection of Aplin Road and Patriot Lane, on August 3, 2022. For
commercial projects, Public Services staff reviews each project's traffic study or report, and any transportation
related improvements proposed, to determine what improvements or contributions need to be made by the
developer resulting from the impact of their proposed development, via a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU).
DISCUSSION:
For the Princeton Grove project, Public Services staff reviewed the traffic study provided, resulting in the
attached MOU. In this specific case, the MOU provides for the developer to participate in cost not to exceed
the total amount of $21,200.00 to be held in escrow by the City of Crestview for proposed offsite roadway
improvements that the City is constructing to mitigate traffic impacts. This cost was determined by an
established per-trip cost based on the total average trips per day generated by the development. The obligation
to deposit the money in escrow and participate shall occur before the Development Order is issued.
This MOU, if approved, also needs to be signed by the Mayor and the City Clerk.

TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Action Item
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Jessica Leavins, Administrative Services Director
DATE: 11/9/2022
SUBJECT: City Clerk Annual Performance Evaluation
BACKGROUND:
In 2021, the City Clerk position transitioned from an elected position to an appointed position. Ms. Maryanne
Schrader was appointed by the City Council on November 15, 2021.
In 2020, the City of Crestview adopted our core values: Teamwork, Respect, Adaptability, Communication, and
Knowledge. In 2021, we developed a merit based pay model and employee evaluation system for general
employees. Staff are rated on a scale of 0-3 for a score of "needs improvement", "meets expectations" or
"exceeds expectations". For the 22-23 fiscal year, employees received a 3% cost of living increase effective
10/1/2022 and are eligible for up to a 3% merit-based pay increase based on the outcome of their evaluation.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with the employment contract, the City Clerk will receive an annual evaluation within 30 days of
the date of hire. The City of Crestview has established a procedure for employee evaluations based on our core
values. Council members were given evaluation forms at the first council meeting in October 2022. The
completed evaluation forms are attached.
All scores are on a scale of 1-3. The average ratings are as follows: adaptability 2.8, communication 2.6,
knowledge 2.4, respect 2.8 and teamwork 2.8; for an overall average of 2.68. Comments of note include:
demonstrated a willingness to learn, grow and change, citizens are treated with respect and understanding, and
upgraded policies and procedures during her first year. Based on the general employee evaluation criteria, a
2.68 would be categorized as "exceeds expectations" and qualify for a 3% salary increase.
After discussion with the City Manager,we would recommend the council approve a 6% salary increase for the
City Clerk based on the evaluation score and cost of living already given to general employees.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
This item is consistent with the goals in A New View Strategic Plan 2020 as follows;
Foundational- these are the areas of focus that make up the necessary foundation of a successful local
government.
Organizational Capacity, Effectiveness & Efficiency- To efficiently & effectively provide the highest quality
of public services
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact of any potential salary increase is included in the FY23 budget.

Crestview City Council Handbook Final
Introduction
The purpose of this handbook is to assist elected officials in understanding their roles,
duties, and responsibilities, outlining the standards of conduct and rules of operation to
ensure the continuation of cooperative progressive City Councils that have the respect
and backing of the community. As a City Council member, you are expected to:
• Represent all citizens honestly and equally.
• Avoid any conflict of interest or any appearance of impropriety that could result
from your position, nor use your position for personal gain or publicity.
• Recognize that a City Council member has no legal authority as an individual and
that decisions can be made only by a majority vote in an open meeting.
• Abide by the majority decision of the City Council even if you personally
disagree with the decision and take no public or private actions that might

Robert Rules of Order
Henry Robert wrote Roberts Rules of Order to bring order out of the chaos in meetings.
He said that the sole purpose of parliamentary procedure is to expedite business, assure
legality, and protect the rights of the minority. To get further information on this subject
log on to: http://www.robertsrules.comwww.robertsrules.com. A very useful resource
in the learning process of conducting an orderly meeting can be found in The Complete
Idiots Guide to Roberts Rules by Nancy Sylvester, PRP, and CPP-T. The City Clerk’s
office can provide a copy upon request.
By following Roberts Rules, it will assist in having the meetings run smoothly and
efficiently. It can be thought of as a tool in helping the group make sound decisions that
benefit the whole. The rights of the minority voice are protected to ensure that everyone
has an equal chance to speak on an issue.

Helpful Hints of a Successful Meeting
The Mayor will preside over and run the City Council meeting and introduces each
agenda item. The Mayor will also generally ask for a motion on a particular agenda item.
Robert's Rules of Order include the following general fundamentals:
• Address the Mayor by his or her title, wait for recognition, and when you have the
floor, you may proceed to speak.
• All proposals for action by the City Council must be presented by a motion.
• Motions should be brief and concise and begin with the statement, I move that....
(Most generally a recommendation for a motion can be found in the agenda
information presented by staff.)
• Before a motion may be discussed, it must be seconded. A City Council member need
not agree with a motion to second it. If a motion fails to receive a second, the motion
fails.
• A motion that receives a tie vote is deemed to have failed.
• A City Council member may ask for a Point of Information from the Mayor, if the
issue or discussion becomes confusing at any point during the meeting.
City Council members are required to vote on every motion; however, there may be an
occasion when an item may represent a conflict of interest with a particular City Council
member. In these instances, the City Council member should discuss the matter with the
Mayor or City Manager prior to the meeting so that the City Attorney can review the
situation and an appropriate determination can be made as to whether the City Council
member should abstain from a particular vote. You must turn in a Form 8B, if you have a
Conflict of Interest.
Each City Council agenda includes the following sections and items:
City Council Meeting — 6:00 p.m. City Council Chambers

2. Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance

Crestview City Council Handbook Final
Sunshine Laws & Public Records
Section 286.011, Florida Statutes, is known as Florida’s “Sunshine Law.” The purpose
of the Sunshine Law is to ensure that all public business and voting is conducted in
public. There should be no secret meetings, votes or agreements made outside of the
public’s view on matters pertaining to City business. The general rules of the Sunshine
Law are as follows:
• Meetings of City Council Members where official action or discussion about
official action take place must be open to the public, noticed, and recorded via
minutes.
• Two (2) or more City Council Members may not discuss any matter on which
foreseeable action will be taken by the City Council, except in a publicly noticed
meeting where minutes are taken. For example, two (2) or more City Council
Members may not discuss City business with each other in conversation, by
phone, email, or text message. This would be a violation of the Sunshine Law.
This does not mean that two (2) or more members of the City Council cannot be
at the same public meeting of another organization or at a social function. This
just means you need to avoid discussion of official City business with each other.
• Knowing violations carry criminal penalties.
• Sunshine Law does not apply to the City Manager, City Clerk, Police Chief, City
Attorney, or other City Staff. Therefore, anyone (1) City Council Member may
have private discussions with these persons at any time.
• One-way communication from one (1) City Council Member to all others (via
email or written memo for example) does not violate Sunshine Law. However, if
interaction/discussion/response ensues, then there is a violation. Please do not hit
“Reply All” if you receive an email from City Staff if other City Council
Members are copied on the email.
• There are exceptions to the Sunshine Law such as litigation “shade” meetings and
collective bargaining meetings with the City negotiator while bargaining is
ongoing. Please do not rely on these exceptions as a way to avoid a public
meeting, as they are rarely used or applied.
The City Attorney is available to discuss specifics upon request.
Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, is known as Florida’s “Public Records Law.” The
general rules of the Public Records Law are as follows:
• Any document created, made, or received in connection with City business is a
public record. This rule applies regardless of whether the document is in paper or
electronic form. So, your texts, emails and social media messages constitute
public records if they are generated or received in connection with City business.
• If a public record is generated or received on your personal email, text messaging
account or social media account, then you are responsible for maintaining the
document pursuant to state record retention guidelines.
• Knowing violations carry criminal penalties.

Page 224 of 266
Crestview City Council Handbook Final
3.10 Motion to Rescind: An action of the Council taken at a previous meeting (the
“previous action”) may be rescinded at a subsequent meeting. Motions to Rescind shall
be governed by the following process:
1. A Councilmember seeking rescission of a previous action shall place a
Motion to Consider Rescission on the agenda of a regular Council meeting. If a
majority of the full membership of the Council approves the Motion to Consider
Rescission, the Motion to Rescind shall be placed on the agenda of the next
regular Council meeting. If less than a majority of the full membership vote in
favor of the Motion to Consider Rescission, no Motion to Rescind the previous
action shall be considered by the Council.
2. Approval of a Motion to Rescind requires the affirmative vote of a majority
of the full membership of the Council.
3. If a Motion to Rescind is approved, the Council shall, at the same meeting,
either consider the previous action or set a date certain for its consideration.
4. Notwithstanding anything stated above, a Motion to Rescind initiated by a
Councilmember who voted on the losing side in connection with the previous
action shall not be in order unless the Council determines:
a. Subsequent information has become known that (i) would have been material
to the Council’s decision on the previous action and (ii) would have militated for
a different result; or
b. A rescission of the previous action is imperative to avoid a material cost, risk,
harm, or other jeopardy to the City or its citizens, and the material cost, risk,
harm, or other jeopardy could not have been known at the time of the Council’s
previous action.
5. For purposes of the Motion to Rescind, a Councilmember who was absent for
a vote on the motion in connection with the previous action is deemed to have
been on the prevailing side of the vote.
3.11 Tie Vote: In the event of a tie vote on any motion, the motion shall be
considered lost.
3.12 Vote Change: Any Councilmember may change his or her vote, before the
next item is called for consideration on or before a recess or adjournment is
called, whichever occurs first, but not thereafter, without the unanimous consent
of the Councilmembers present and eligible to vote.
3.13 Privilege of Closing Debate: Any Councilmember may move to close
debate and call for the question on the motion being considered which shall be
nondebatable. The Chair may then call for the question.
3.14 Action Savings: No action taken by the Council shall be deemed void or
invalid because of the failure to adhere to Robert’s Rules of Order or the
provisions of these rules of order and procedure, except as may otherwise be
provided by general law.
Page 225 of 266
Crestview City Council Handbook Final
3.15 Ex Parte Communications:
1. The substance of any ex-parte communication with a local public official
which relates to quasi-judicial action pending before the official is not presumed
prejudicial to the action if the subject of the communication and the identity of the
person, group, or entity with whom the communication took place is disclosed
and made part of the record before final action on the matter.
2. A local public official may read a written communication from any person.
However, a written communication that relates to quasi-judicial action pending
before a local public official shall not be presumed prejudicial to the action, and
such written communication shall be made a part of the record before final action
on the matter.
3. Local public officials may conduct investigations and site visits and may
receive expert opinions regarding quasi-judicial action pending before them. Such
activities shall not be presumed prejudicial to the action if the existence of the
investigation, site visit, or expert opinion is made a part of the record before final
action on the matter.
4. Disclosure made pursuant to subparagraphs 1., 2., and 3 must be made before
or during the public meeting at which a vote is taken on such matters, so that
persons who have opinions contrary to those expressed in the ex parte
communication are given a reasonable opportunity to refute or respond to the
communication. This subsection does not subject local public officials to part III
of chapter 1122 for not complying with this paragraph.
SECTION IV

procedures are not intended, shall not be implemented, and shall not be construed in any
way to affiliate the City Council or the City with, nor express a preference for or against

lawmakers; and justice for the people. No member of the City Council, City
employee or staff, or any other person in attendance at the meeting shall be required

afforded to those who do not wish to participate or witness the opening invocation.

52 Tips for Successful Public Service
SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO GOVERN BETTER
by E.A. Mosher, former Executive Director
League of Kansas Municipalities
1. Learn all you can about your city, its history, its operations, its financing. Do your
homework. Know your city ordinances. Dust off your comprehensive plan.
2. Devote sufficient time to your office and to studying the present and future problems
of your community.
3. Don't burn yourself out on the little things, while recognizing that they are often
important to the public. Save some energy and time - for the important matters.
4. Don't act as a committee of one; governing a city requires a team effort - practically
and legally.
5. Don't let honest difference of opinion degenerate into personality conflicts.
6. Remember that you represent all the people of your community, not just neighbors and
friends. Be wary of personal experiences coloring your public decisions.
7. Take your budget preparation job seriously, for it determines what your city does or
does not do for the coming year and will influence what happens in future years as well.
8. Establish policy statements. Written policy statements let the public, and the city staff,
know where they stand. They help the governing body govern and writing them provides
a process to develop consensus.
9. Make decisions on the basis of public policy and be consistent. Treat similar situations,
similarly, and avoid favoritism.
10. Focus your attention on ways to prevent problems, rather than trying to solve them as
they occur. Filling potholes is one approach; developing plans to prevent them is another.
11. Don't be misled by the strong demands of special interest groups who want it done
now, their way. Your job is to find the long-term public interest of the community as a
whole, and you may be hearing from the wrong people.
12. Don't rush to judgment. Few final actions have to be taken at the first meeting they
are considered. Avoid crisis management.
13. Don't be afraid to change. Don't be content to just follow the routine of your
predecessors. Charge your appointed officers and employees with being responsible for
new ideas and better ways. Listen to what they have to say.
Page 251 of 266
Crestview City Council Handbook Final
14. Don't give quick answers when you are not sure of the real answer. It may be
embarrassing to appear ignorant, but it can be more embarrassing and damaging, to tell a
person something that is wrong.
15. As an individual, even if you are the mayor, do not make promises you cannot
deliver! Most decisions and actions require approval of the governing body, and this
takes a majority vote.
16. Remember that you have legal authority as a governing body member only when the
governing body is in legal session.
17. Don't spring surprises on your fellow governing body members or your city staff,
especially at formal meetings. If a matter is worth bringing up for discussion, it is worth
being on the agenda. Surprises may get you some publicity, at the embarrassment of
others, and tend to erode the team approach to governance.
18. Participate in official meetings with the dignity and decorum fitting those who hold a
public trust. Personal dress and courteous behavior at meetings help create an
environment for making sound public decisions.
19. Conduct your official public meetings with some formality and follow rules of
procedure. Have an agenda and follow it. Most governing body members agree that
formal meetings expedite the process and tend to promote better decision making.
20. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It is one of the ways we learn.
21. Vote yes or no on motions. Do not cop out by abstaining, except when you have a
conflict of interest. A pass does not relieve you of responsibility when some decision
must be made.
22. Once a majority decision of the governing body has been made, respect that official
position, and defend it if needed, even if you personally disagreed.
23. Respect the letter and intent of the open meetings law. But also keep private and
confidential matters to yourself - do not gossip.
24. Retain competent, key employees, pay them well, trust their professional judgment
and recognize their authority and responsibilities.
25. Don't bypass the system. If you have a manager or other chief administrative officer,
stick to policymaking, and avoid personal involvement in the day-to-day operations of
the city. If you do not have an administrative officer, make sure you have some
management system that officers, employees, and the public understand.
Page 252 of 266
Crestview City Council Handbook Final
26. Don't let others bypass your system - insist that people such as equipment service
suppliers first work with your city staff. If direct contact with governing body members is
necessary, this should be with the governing body as a whole or a committee and not on a
one-on-one basis.
27. Don't pass the buck to the staff or employees when they are only following your
policies or decisions.
28. Don't always take no for an answer. The right question may be “How can we do
this?” instead of “May we do this?” Be positive!
29. Learn to evaluate recommendations and alternative courses of action. Request your
staff to provide options. Encourage imaginative solutions.
30. Avoid taking short-term gains at the expense of long-term losses. Be concerned with
the long-term future of the city.
31. In determining the public interest, balance personal rights and property interests, the
possible harm to a few versus the good of the many. Recognize that in some situations,
everyone cannot be winner.
32. Be concerned with the total development - physical, economic, and social - of your
community.
33. Don't act as if the city operates in a vacuum. Cities must work within the
intergovernmental system to be effective. Keep in contact and cooperate with your
federal, state, county, and school officials.
34. Get to know the officials of neighboring and similar size cities. Visit other cities,
particularly those with a reputation of being well run.
35. Learn to listen - really listen - to your fellow governing body members and the public.
Hear what they are trying to say, not just the words spoken.
36. Keep your constituents informed and encourage citizen participation.
37. Be friendly and deal effectively with the news media. Make sure what you say is what
you mean. Lack of good communication is one of the big problems of cities.
38. Remember that what you say, privately and publicly, will often be news. You live in a
glass house. Avoid over-publicizing minor problems.
39. Expect, and respect, citizen complaints. Make sure that your governing body
members, and your city, has a way to effectively deal with them. Have a follow-up
system.
Page 253 of 266
Crestview City Council Handbook Final
40. Be careful about rumors. Check them out. Help squelch them when you know they
are false.
41. Appoint citizen advisory committees when you need them but be prepared to follow
their advice if you use them.
42. Take care in your appointments to boards and commissions. Make sure they are
capable as well as representative of the whole community.
43. Use manuals, guides and other technical assistance and information available from
other agencies. Attend workshops and conferences put on for your benefit.
44. Pace yourself. Limit the number of meetings you attend. Set some priorities,
including the need to spend time with your family. Recognize that life - and the city - is
dependent on a lot of things you have little control over.
45. Establish some personal goals and objectives. What do you want to accomplish this
year? Next year?
46. Help develop some short-term and long-term goals and objectives for your city and
check your progress at least every six months.
47. Similarly, help your city develop a vision of the future. Plan from the future to the
present - no vision, no plan. One of the important purposes of a governing body is to
establish a vision for the future.
48. Focus on the future and try to leave your city better than that which you inherited as a
city officer.
49. At least once a year, schedule a governing body discussion about how you are
governing. Review the processes and procedures. Sit back and ask, “How are we doing?”
“How can we do things better?”
50. Be enthusiastic about your public service, and the privilege you have, and let the
public know it. But maintain your sense of humor. Don't take yourself or the business of
government so seriously that you don't enjoy it. It should be a fun as well as rewarding
experience.
51. Be a leader, as well as part of the team of elected and appointed officials who were
selected to make your city an even better place to live.
52. Celebrate Good things do happen. Let the public share your successes. Always
focusing on problems and issues may leave you, the governing body, and the public, to
believe that nothing positive ever happens.

Staff Report
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 14,
2022
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Presentation
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Barry Henderson, Development Services Director
DATE: 11/10/2022
SUBJECT: Community Development Director Barry Henderson - Report
BACKGROUND:
This report is to serve as an update for the Community Development Services Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Community Development Services (CDS) department has gone through a number of positive changes
recently.
In May, the permitting division implemented a new permitting software, MyGovernmentOnline (MGO), that allows
for online processing and payment for building permits. This is helping to make the permitting process easier and
more efficient for homeowners, contractors, and staff alike. Since implementing MGO in May, we have issued 841
permits, with 111 permits issued since October 1st of this year. This division has hired a new building inspector,
and is in the process of hiring a new permit technician, to help the application and inspection process move even
quicker and more smoothly.
In October, the Animal Control and Code Enforcement divisions of CDS were moved to the Police Department
(PD). The responsibilities of these divisions were already similar to some of the responsibilities of the PD, and this
move will allow them to work more closely with the PD, and will increase their opportunities for training, growth and
efficiency.
This move has also allowed CDS to focus on working even more closely with developers to help them navigate the
development process or the process of opening a business. The hiring of a Planning Technician has provided for a
position that can more directly oversee the Business Tax Receipt (BTR) process. With that, staff are able to ensure
that businesses are better educated about the requirements and the process, and can reduce the number of
businesses that do not have a BTR. It has also allowed the Planning Division to devote more time to the
development process and other miscellaneous planning functions. There are currently 17 active commercial
projects under construction, with an additional 12 in the review process for development order issuance. There are
3 subdivision projects under construction in various phases of development, and an additional 3 in the review
process.
Staff have been able to work with the county to develop a roadway network surrounding the new Southwest
Bypass, work with Eglin and other organizations to increase childcare opportunities in support of the base's
mission, and work to increase or improve affordable housing, though both the Vineyard Village project and in
beginning to develop a strategy and program for rehabilitation of existing structures utilizing CDBG grants and other
funding sources.
