CITY OF CRESTVIEW Item # 6.2.
Staff Report
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 25,
2023
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Action Item
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Stephen McCosker, Police Chief
DATE: 9/21/2023
SUBJECT: Victims of Crime Act (VOCA-C-2323) Grant
BACKGROUND:
The Crestview Police Department receives an annual renewable grant from the Florida Attorney Generals
Office under VOCA (Victims of Crimes Act) which currently funds the Victim Advocate position and
equipment for the Crestview Police Department's Victim Advocate. As a term of this funding, a memorandum
of understanding (MOU) between the Attorney Generals Office and the Crestview Police Department, must be
completed every year the grant is utilized.
DISCUSSION:
The Crestview Police Department currently employs one person as the Victim Advocate for the Crestview
Police Department. A person who holds the position of a Victim Advocate is responsible for reaching out to
victims of persons and property crimes and assisting persons who need help coordinating services to assist in
the judicial process. The Crestview Police Department applies for annual funding through the Florida Attorney
Generals Office, which provides Federal Funding for departments that employ Victim Advocates. The
Crestview Police Department uses the funds to cover salary, and equipment costs for the Victim Advocate in
compliance with the regulations that govern the agreement. One of the conditions of the grant is to obtain a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which outlines the compliance requirements between the parties in the
partnership. The Crestview Police Department renews the MOU as dictated by the rules of the grant and is
presented as an agreement that requires the consideration and approval of council before implementation, as
presented by the federal government. Attached is a PDF Copy of the MOU for which approval is sought to
continue the funding for our Victim Advocacy Program.
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
Communication- To engage, inform and educate public and staff
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
Page 12 of 121
Opportunity- Promote an environment that encourages economic and educational opportunity
Community Culture- Develop a specific identity for Crestview
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Federal funding currently maintains the financial impact of the entire Victim Advocate Program for the
Crestview Police Department. Should the MOU fail to achieve approval, the City of Crestview would need to
provide city funds to continue the program without the assistance of federal funding.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully requests a motion to approve the implementation and signing of the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the Crestvew Police Department and the Office of the Attorney General.

BACKGROUND:

TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Action Item
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Stephen McCosker, Police Chief
DATE: 9/21/2023
SUBJECT: JAG Grant Application
BACKGROUND:
The Crestview Police Department has applied for funding through the Edward Byrne JAG Grant through the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The Crestview Police Department was awarded an amount of
$9,110.00 (nine-thousand one hundred and ten dollars) for specialized equipment that fit the criteria for
funding. The Crestview Police Department selected items for defensive tactics training and for bleed stop kits
for police officers. Both are qualifying equipment justifications for the grant parameters.
DISCUSSION:
The Crestview Police Department completed a grant request to fund Defensive Tactics Mats, and Bleed Stop
Kits. Both are necessary and essential for the development of an efficient training program, and for life-saving
measures our officers may encounter during the course of their job.
The Purchase of Defensive Tactics Mats is needed to provide a safe training environment for officers that are
required to participate in defensive tactics training on a regular basis (annually). Currently, the equipment is not
funded in the FY2024 Budget.
The Purchase of Bleed Stop Kits is essential for the life-safety of officers and the citizens we serve. The kits
will allow for officers to render emergency aid for massive trauma, gunshot wounds and other life-threatening
injuries that are encountered in the field. The purchase of these kits will allow officers to have an effective tool
to render emergency aid to themselves, other officers and the citizens we serve. Currently, the equipment is not
funded in the FY2024 Budget.
The grant request was approved and the funds to purchase both of these items were approved in the JAG Grant
Project process. The allocation of $9,110.00 (nine-thousand one hundred and ten dollars), was granted to the City
of Crestview. The project requires approval to continue into the Application Process by which the funding is justified
to the state through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement by a department grant writer. Successful
completion of the project allows for these items to be 100% funded through the approved grant.
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

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
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Currently, the items requested in this grant are not budgeted within the FY2024 Budget. To prevent financial
impact on the City of Crestview, the grant will pay 100% of the $9,110.00 (nine-thousand one hundred and ten
dollars), which is the complete cost of the proposed project and purchases.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff respectfully requests a motion to approve the Crestview Police Department grant writer to continue into
the Grant Application Process for the Edward Byrne JAG Grant, and purchase the items that are funded within
the scope of the grant regulations.

CITY OF CRESTVIEW Item # 7.1.
Staff Report
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 25,
2023
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Second reading
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Stephen McCosker, Police Chief
DATE: 9/19/2023
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1950 - Sexual Offender and Predator Residency Restrictions
BACKGROUND:
The City of Crestview is deeply concerned about recent occurrences in our state and elsewhere, whereby
convicted sexual offenders and sexual predators who have been released from custody repeat unlawful acts
against children. The City is continually becoming an increasingly attractive place of residence for families
with children, increasing the need to improve methods to protect them. Currently, § 775.215 and 947.1405,
Florida Statutes, provides that certain sexual offenders and sexual predators may not establish a residence
within one thousand (1,000) feet of specified locations. The City Council of the City of Crestview has
expressed an interest in prohibiting sexual offenders and sexual predators from establishing a residence within
one thousand five hundred (1,500) feet of certain locations within the City.
DISCUSSION:
The high level of threat that sexual predators and offenders present to the public safety, and the long-term effects suffered
by victims of sex offenses, provide the city with sufficient justification to implement a strategy. Repeat sexual
offenders, sexual offenders who use physical violence, sexual offenders who prey on children, and sexual predators
present an extreme threat to the public safety. Sexual offenders are extremely likely to use physical violence and to repeat
their offenses, and most sexual offenders commit many offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are
prosecuted for only a fraction of their crimes. This makes the cost of sexual offender victimization to society at large,
while incalculable, clearly exorbitant.
It is the intent of this Ordiance 1950 to serve the city's compelling interest to promote, protect and improve the health,
safety and welfare of the citizens and visitors by creating areas around locations where children regularly congregate in
concentrated numbers wherein certain sexual offenders and sexual predators are prohibited from loitering, prowling or
establishing temporary or permanent residence.
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

pursuant to Article VIII of the Constitution of the State of Florida, Chapter 166, Florida Statutes.
SECTION 2 – A new Chapter 55 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Crestview, Florida is hereby adopted
as follows:
Chapter 55
SEXUAL OFFENDERS AND SEXUAL PREDATORS
Sec. 55-1. Findings and intent.
(1) The high level of threat that sexual predators and offenders present to the public safety, and the
long-term effects suffered by victims of sex offenses, provide the city with sufficient justification
to implement a strategy.
(2) Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who use physical violence, sexual offenders who prey
on children, and sexual predators present an extreme threat to public safety. Sexual offenders are
likely to use physical violence and to repeat their offenses, and most sexual offenders commit many
offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of
their crimes. This makes the cost of sexual offender victimization to society at large, while
incalculable, clearly exorbitant.
(3) It is the intent of this article to serve the city's compelling interest to promote, protect and improve
the health, safety and welfare of the citizens and visitors by creating areas around locations where
children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers wherein certain sexual offenders and sexual
predators are prohibited from loitering, prowling or establishing temporary or permanent residence.
Sec. 55-2. Definitions.

playground, or park.
Sec. 55-6. Property owners prohibited from renting real property to certain sexual offenders and
sexual predators; penalties.
(1) It shall be a violation of this Code for a landlord or owner of residential property in the city to let

Page 61 of 121
the landlord checks the registration list based on the identifications of tenants and residents
proposed to be living in the rental unit to confirm the persons are not on the list. Receipt of such
affidavit and efforts of confirmation shall demonstrate that a landlord has exercised good faith in
ascertaining whether they were renting to a sexual predator or sexual offender, even if it is

This chapter shall apply only within the boundaries of the City of Crestview.

leasehold relationship arising from a landlord tenant relationship or the expiration of a lease term in an
existing lease. When a person who is the subject of this article changes residences, this article shall fully
apply to such persons.

CITY OF CRESTVIEW Item # 7.2.
Staff Report
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 25,
2023
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Second reading
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Jessica Leavins, Administrative Services Director
DATE: 9/21/2023
SUBJECT: Ordinance 1951 - Police and Firefighters' Retirement
BACKGROUND:
The City of Crestview offers employees a defined benefit retirement plan. We currently offer two plans;
General Employees' Retirement Plan and Police Officers' & Firefighters' Retirement Plan. Our Police Officers'
and Firefighters' Retirement Plan allows for vesting at ten years of service and retirement at age 55 or 52 with
25 years of service.
In the 1950s, the State of Florida enacted provisions that required municipalities to certify compliance with
Florida state law chapter 175/185 by having an organized fire or police department which owned or used
equipment valued at a specified dollar amount. Upon receipt of the certification, the Department of Insurance
remitted tax premiums. We continue to receive 175/185 insurance tax premiums, which are currently
distributed to members upon retirement.
DISCUSSION:
This item was brought before the Council on August 28th, 2023 for action. Council voted to bring the
ordinance to first reading.
During a survey of local departments, it was discovered that four out of seven surrounding jurisdictions offer a
25 years to retirement program where, regardless of age, after 25 years of service, an employee is eligible for
retirement. While exploring the option of transitioning to a 25 years to retirement option, the Police Officers
and Firefighters retirement board ordered an actuarial study of the risk to our plan.
The actuarial report indicated if a transition to a 25-year to retirement program occurred, there would be a need
for an increased contribution from the city of three percent of gross payroll. However, the actuary noted that
the increased contribution would be offset if the members vote to redirect the 175/185 plan contributions to the
city. 175/185 plan contributions are the result of a percentage assessed on homeowners insurance and
automobile insurance. These have increased year over year for the past several years and are expected to
continue to rise.
The ordinance for discussion amends the current plan to allow retirement after 25 years of service, regardless of
age. The amendment also changes the allocation of 175/185 contributions to the City of Crestview. Current
DROP participants will not be impacted by this ordinance. The fire and police departments will conduct a vote
of all participants in the Police Officers' and Firefighters' pension plan.
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: September 25,
2023
TYPE OF AGENDA ITEM: Resolution
TO: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk, Staff and Attorney
FROM: Barry Henderson, Development Services Director
DATE: 9/21/2023
SUBJECT: Resolution 2023 - 17 - Inventory List of Real Property Appropriate for Affordable Housing
BACKGROUND:
Senate Bill 102, the Live Local Act, was signed into law on March 28, 2023, with an effective date of July 1,
2023. The Live Local Act provides and implements requirements, regulations and guidelines for counties and
municipalities, exemptions from certain land development standards in counties and municipalities for projects
that meet specific affordability criteria, and various other changes in the state statutes that are intended to
remove impediments to the development of affordable housing.
DISCUSSION:
Of the changes in requirements previously mentioned, the Live Local Act amends Section 166.0451(1) of the
statutes to require that by October 1st, 2023, and every 3 years thereafter, each municipality shall prepare an
inventory list of all real property within its jurisdiction to which the municipality or any dependent special
district within its boundaries holds fee simple title which is appropriate for use as affordable housing. The
statute section also requires the list to be reviewed at a public hearing, and adopted by resolution. This item
serves to adopt an inventory list of land that is appropriate for use as affordable housing that meets the state
requirements. In determining the properties for this list, staff chose properties that were zoned, or could be
rezoned to support the use, and whose shape, size, and character allowed for placement of single or multi-
family affordable housing units.
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.
Communication- To engage, inform and educate public and staff
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
