Staff Report CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 22, 2023 TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Action Item TO: Mayor and City Council CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney FROM: Michael Criddle, Public Services Director DATE: 5/18/2023 SUBJECT: Crestview WWTP Effluent Reuse Master Plan BACKGROUND: The City of Crestview has experienced significant population growth in recent years and that growth has created the need to expand and build new residential communities. This growth has led to an increase in influent flow at the Crestview Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). In addition, the expansion of the State Road (SR) 85 Bypass Road, the East-West corridor and a future community sports complex planned for construction on the existing effluent spray field will generate additional flows to the WWTP. Simultaneously, the loss of spray field area for the new sports complex will reduce overall effluent reuse capacity of the WWTP. DISCUSSION: The existing WWTP spray fields were initially impacted by the construction of the SR 85 Bypass Road and the East-West Connector roadway. The City is planning to redevelop the remaining spray fields for construction of a new community sports complex. To continue to provide wastewater services for the City’s existing customers and the projected growth, the City will need to identify and construct new effluent reuse facilities. The Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIB) No. 6 project is currently in the design phase which will result in the construction of additional reuse capacity with the goal of offsetting the lost spray field capacity due to the road construction. The City’s current plan is to expand the WWTP to a treatment capacity of approximately 6 MGD. Therefore, a total effluent reuse capacity of 6 MGD is needed. The existing RIBs and the proposed RIB No. 6 project will provide approximately 2 MGD of the needed capacity, leaving approximately 4 MGD of new reuse options needed. This Task Order will identify the potential land areas needed to offset the 4 MGD deficit. 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.

Staff Report CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 22, 2023 TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Action Item TO: Mayor and City Council CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney FROM: Barry Henderson, Development Services Director, Nicholas Schwendt, Senior Planner DATE: 5/18/2023 SUBJECT: Resolution 2023-10 Adoption of the Local Housing Assistance Plan BACKGROUND: In 1992, the Florida Legislature adopted the William Sadowski Affordable Housing Act, creating the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program to expand affordable housing resources in the state. Previously, the City did not collect its allocation for SHIP funding, and it was deferred to Okaloosa County. As the City pursues the goal of improving the minimum housing standards for our citizens through code enforcement and blight removal, we see great value in programs that will assist homeowners and developers in purchasing, building, or rehabilitating housing that is considered affordable. DISCUSSION: In late January of 2023, Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) staff contacted City staff, spurring a discussion regarding eligibility for SHIP funding. After FHFC staff determined that we were eligible for the program, we began working with them to develop the necessary plans, exhibits, resolutions, and ordinances pertaining to our implementation of the SHIP program. FHFC staff has conditionally approved our Local Housing Assistance Plan, which is attached, and it is now necessary for the plan to be adopted by Council via this resolution. The Resolution and Plan both use rigid templates and language required by the State. Our plan includes programs to assist in owner-occupied rehabilitation, purchase assistance, disaster recovery, construction of new single family housing units, and construction of affordable housing units. The programs within this plan will allow the City to assist in the creation of new affordable housing opportunities, as well as assist in increasing homeownership among low- to moderate- income persons and households. GOALS & OBJECTIVES This item is consistent with the goals in A New View Strategic Plan 2020 as follows; Quality of Life- these areas focus on the overall experience when provided by the city. Community Character- Promote desirable growth with a hometown atmosphere Safety- Ensure the continuous safety of citizens and visitors Opportunity- Promote an environment that encourages economic and educational opportunity Community Culture- Develop a specific identity for Crestview FINANCIAL IMPACT The adoption of this plan will allow the City to receive SHIP funds from the State for use in affordable housing assistance.

Cities and Counties must be in compliance with these applicable statutes, rules and any additional requirements as established through the Legislative process. E. Local Housing Partnership: The SHIP Program encourages building active partnerships between government, lending institutions, builders and developers, not-for-profit and community-based housing providers and service organizations, providers of professional services related to affordable housing, advocates for low- income persons, real estate professionals, persons or entities that can provide housing or support services and lead agencies of the local continuums of care.

Public Input: Public input was solicited through face to face meetings with housing providers, social service providers and local lenders and neighborhood associations. Public input was solicited through the local newspaper in the advertising of the Local Housing Assistance Plan and the Notice of Funding Availability. H. Advertising and Outreach: SHIP funding availability shall be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation and periodicals serving ethnic and diverse neighborhoods, at least 30 days before the beginning of the application period. If no funding is available due to a waiting list, no notice of funding availability is required. I. Waiting List/Priorities: A waiting list will be established when there are eligible applicants for strategies that no longer have funding available. Those households on the waiting list will be notified of their status. Applicants will be maintained in an order that is consistent with the time completed applications were submitted as well as any established funding priorities as described in this plan. The following priorities for funding (very low income, Special Needs, etc.) described/listed here apply to all strategies unless otherwise stated in an individual strategy in Section II: All strategies will serve persons and households meeting the definition of Special Needs first.

However, it is not the intent to limit an individual household’s ability to devote more than 30% of its income for housing, and housing for which a household devotes more than 30% of its income shall be deemed Affordable if the first institutional mortgage lender is satisfied that the household can afford mortgage payments in excess of the 30% benchmark and in the case of rental housing does not exceed those rental limits adjusted for bedroom size. N.

However, any loan or grant in the original amount of $10,000 or less shall not be subject to these annual monitoring and determination of tenant eligibility requirements. Tenant eligibility will be monitored annually for no less than 15 years or the term of assistance whichever is longer unless as specified above. Eligible sponsors that offer rental housing for sale before 15 years or that have remaining mortgages funded under this program must give a first right of refusal to eligible nonprofit organizations for purchase at the current market value for continued occupancy by eligible persons.

Staff Report CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 22, 2023 TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Presentation TO: Mayor and City Council CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney FROM: Jessica Leavins, Administrative Services Director DATE: 5/18/2023 SUBJECT: Monthly Department Report - Administrative Services BACKGROUND: The Administrative Services Department was created in the 20-21 budget. This department consists of the Human Resources and Information Technology divisions. These divisions are responsible for payroll, employee wellness, risk management, property and liability insurance, employee benefits, training and development, hiring, employee discipline, cyber security, network infrastructure, device management, user account management, and more. We are a team of 8, including the Administrative Services Director, IT Manager, Risk Management Specialist, HR Technician, two IT Specialists, and one IT Technician. DISCUSSION: The City of Crestview has 270 budgeted positions. We maintain, on average, a vacancy rate of less than 10%. Our current employees have an average of 8.5 years of service with the city. This fiscal year, we have hired 30 new employees and experienced less than 8% turnover; the post-COVID turnover rate nationwide is close to 20%. Maintaining staff and recruiting new hires at this rate during the recent period of extreme low unemployment speaks directly to the culture we have created at the city, which is backed by the value we have placed on our employees. The Human Resources department negotiated a pro-share agreement with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida in 2020. This year we received a $182,202 refund. This refund correlates directly to progress toward our goal of having a healthier employee population. As a part of our agreement with Florida Blue, we are able to offer our employees a free health screening and incentives to complete both this screening and an annual wellness exam with a private provider. Over the last year, our group has seen a positive change overall based on the results of our annual health screening. Our critical values decreased by 47%; these values include blood pressure and blood glucose scores. Additionally, we saw an almost 10% decrease in employees at high risk for health issues such as BMI, blood sugar, and cholesterol. In conjunction with the Fire Department, we coordinated the inaugural Lifescan physicals for our state-certified firefighters. 99% of staff screened were found fit for duty, and a baseline was set for ensuring our staff are safe from the carcinogens present during fires. The city strongly believes in investing in our employees. Knowledge is one of our core values. In an effort, build up the next generation of city leaders, we offer a tuition reimbursement program, an internal leadership program, and many continuing education opportunities. This fiscal year, employees have utilized this program to attend 15 college courses. In October 2022, we had 28 graduates from our inaugural LEAD Crestview classes. This year we have 15 employees currently enrolled in this program, and we developed and implemented LEAD II, a three-day advanced leadership seminar for 12 of the 2022 LEAD Crestview graduates. The information technology (IT) division implemented several cybersecurity measures this year, including security updates, antivirus monitoring, installation of a new data center in city hall, financial and user audits, Page 151 of 152 and installation of a managed network switch at public services. Additionally, IT installed new network infrastructure for Animal Services, the Post Office (114 Main St), and coordinated the installation of panic buttons within City Hall.
