This residential and business friendly atmosphere is a liveable, attractive, safe, inclusive and sustainable coastal community that embraces the seaside and riverside as the main amenities, and supports local culture, commerce and education. We envision: A1A as a “complete street” with a native-landscaped and tree-lined median with traffic calming elements and dark-sky street lighting. “Complete street” amenities include bicycle facilities, covered transit stops, and safe pedestrian crossings that invite pedestrians and bicyclists to access the beach, river, local neighborhoods and adjacent communities. Our improved “complete streets” will allow us to travel calmly to intimate waterfront destinations and a walk- able uptown core. Multi-use paths lined with shade trees should be wide enough for bikes and pedestrians and lighted so anyone can walk or bicycle safely anywhere in town, day or night. We envision: Welcoming community entrance features that create a sense of arrival and unique community identity. The “uptown” and other areas will contain an architecturally rich and unique mix of uses, with wide tree shaded sidewalks and umbrella covered café tables at restaurants and bistros where friends gather, interact, and enjoy drinks and dinner. We envision: A community that; removes or transforms blighted and unfinished buildings into attractive structures, offers city-wide green spaces, provides a pet-friendly park with ample shade, and actively recruits and supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our residents and visitors. We envision: Open shorelines and rivers accessible to the public including amenities that take advantage of the water, such as limited and quaint water-view establishments and intimate public gathering and entertainment places that may include pavilions, gazebos, or a performance stage.  Administrative Services Update for Week Ending March 17, 2017 The City Manager’s Office is responsible for the day to day administration of all City departments in accordance with City Council’s established policies/direction, local ordinances, resolutions and State/Federal laws/rules and regulations.

Human Resources/Risk Management Staff performed day to day duties/responsibilities and assisted various telephone/walk-in requests from the public. Highlights:  Healthcare Update Republicans Announce Repeal and Replace Legislation The Republican sponsored American Health Care Act (AHCA) confirms the core platform Congressional Republicans seek to advance which focuses on Healthcare as a Responsibility vs. the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premise that Healthcare as a Right. Highlights of the AHCA are as follows. o Eliminates the Individual and Employer (employers with more than 50 employees) mandate penalties retroactive to January 1, 2016. o Allows Health Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to be used for over the counter items and increases the limits individuals may defer into these accounts. o Increases premiums insurance companies can charge older individuals from 3 times to 5 times premium rates for younger individuals. o Permits insurance companies to offer reduced premium plans with healthcare coverage below 60% and/or greater deductibles and out of pocket co-pays. o Reduces taxes paid by the nation’s top 1% wage earners by $600 billion. ACA uses the tax on the wealthy for health insurance subsidies for the poor and disabled. o Eliminates income based healthcare premium subsidies. o Reduces Federal Medicaid funding, shifting the cost of providing healthcare for the poor, disabled and low income elderly to States. Because Florida rejected Medicaid expansion, its Federal share would be reduced from 57% to 50%. 30 States that expanded Medicaid would receive a 76% Federal share with gradual Federal caps. States would have the ability to adjust to lesser funding by reducing the numbers who qualify for benefits and/or reducing benefits. Current Florida Medicaid eligibility is restricted to low income children, persons with disabilities, low income pregnant women and low income seniors in need of nursing home care. o Defunds Federal dollars to Planned Parenthood, provider of low income women’s health services. Federal funding represents 50% of the organization’s total funding. o Establishes an age based annual tax credit of between $2,000 (younger citizens) and $4,000 (older citizens) in order to assist individuals with premium payments. o Eliminates tax paid by insurance companies that compensate executives more than $500,000 per year. (Current rules limit an insurance company’s ability to deduct salaries for executives earning more than half a million dollars annually.) o Delays the excise tax on high-cost plans (aka Cadillac Tax) from a 40% excise tax on the excess value of high cost coverage from 2020 to 2025; o Retains ACA’s market reforms, such as the ban on pre-existing condition exclusions, adult children (to age 26) coverage through parents, prohibition on lifetime and annual limits and requirement that polices cover preventive care. According to Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis, AHCA would reduce the Federal Budget by $337 Billion over the next 10 years (6%). The number of uninsured would increase by 24 million to a total of up to 52 million during that same period with 14 million more people uninsured the first year. If the AHCA Bill passes the House of Representatives, it will go to the Senate as a Budget Reconciliation Bill and as such, only requires a simple 51 vote majority. Republican Leaders are pushing a rapid turnaround on the GOP health care plan, with House Speaker Paul Ryan saying he wants to “wrap up the process” before the April recess.  Legal Updates Failure to Accommodate Religious Belief Claim to Move Forward Religious discrimination claims by a delivery driver for a catering company who was terminated the day after being sent home for wearing a religious head covering survived summary judgment due to the temporal proximity between the events. In EEOC v. Triangle Catering, LLC, the Western District of North Carolina held that the employer telling the driver to remove his religious head covering and his termination the following day created a reasonable inference that the driver’s need for a religious accommodation was a motivating factor in his termination. The employer felt blindsided by the worker because the driver, a Rastafarian male, did not wear his religious head covering to his interview. On his second day of work, he wore the head covering and the co-owner of the employer abruptly asked him to remove it. The driver advised the co-owner of its religious purpose. Nevertheless, the co-owner sent the driver home. The following day, the employer terminated the driver. The termination notice referred to the “hat situation.” The employer contended that genuine issues regarding sincerity of the driver’s religious beliefs may have existed, as he did not wear the head covering to the interview. Further, the termination notice described “the confrontational and disrespectful way in which [the driver] handled the hat situation,” but the co-owner testified nothing confrontational or disrespectful occurred. In addition, the employer argued that accommodating the driver’s religious practice would be an undue hardship because the head covering violated applicable health codes and regulations. In presenting the argument, the employer failed to cite any health codes or regulations that would be violated. Thus, the Court found the employer’s argument unavailing. This case serves as a reminder that adverse action taken on the heels of protected activity is likely to result in a meritorious retaliation claim. In addition, documentation should accurately reflect the events as they occurred. Future of DOL's White Collar Overtime Rule Remains Unclear The uncertainty surrounding the Department of Labor's (DOL) White Collar Overtime Rule continues, with the agency requesting more time to continue its appeal of an injunction halting implementation of the rule. Last year, the agency published a final rule that established a salary floor below which executive, administrative and professional employees must be paid overtime. The result: an increase from $455 per week (or $23,660 annually) to $913 per week (or $47,476 annually), with automatic updates every three years. A coalition of 21 states challenged the rule, which was set to take effect in December 2016. A district court judge granted a preliminary injunction in November, holding that "Congress intended the exemption to depend on an employee's duties rather than an employee's salary." The DOL appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and sought an expedited review. But with the switch in administration, the agency has now requested a second extension to file its reply brief, seeking until May 1 to "allow incoming leadership personnel adequate time to consider the issues." While employers wait to see what happens with the rule and what stance the new nominee for Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta takes on the issue, a group of labor organizations filed a motion with the court to take over the case if the DOL drops its defense. "With the recent presidential election, and particularly as more information becomes available regarding the incoming Administration's plans, policy and appointments, the Texas AFL-CIL has grave concerns as to whether its interests in the Final Rule will be represented by the DOL," the group argued. Employer on Hook for Employee's Drunk Driving, $1M Verdict According to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, an employee involved in a car accident while under the influence did not exceed the scope of his permission to use the vehicle, leaving the employer's insurer on the hook for approximately $1 million in damages. Brian Hensley was permitted to drive a company car for both work and personal purposes. One night, after consuming four beers, he drove home and was involved in an accident that seriously injured Ulysses Anderson. Anderson sued Hensley's employer, which tendered the claim to Great American Alliance Insurance Company. A jury found Hensley liable and awarded Anderson roughly $1 million. The insurer then sought a declaratory judgment that Hensley had exceeded the scope of vehicle use granted by the employer because he drove while intoxicated. Despite the company's policy banning the consumption of alcoholic beverages on company property and prohibiting employees under the influence from working, the court found Hensley remained within the scope of the employer's permission. Even though he was intoxicated, Hensley was using the vehicle for an approved purpose, the panel wrote, and he was therefore an insured under the terms of the policy. Under the general permission that was granted, Hensley was allowed to drive the vehicle to and from his father's lake house. Hugs From Supervisor Can Form Basis of Suit The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit published a judgment in favor of a female employee regarding “hugs” from her supervisor, the sheriff. County correctional officer Victoria Zetwick sued her employer for creating a sexually hostile work environment in violation of Title VII and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. Specifically, she said the county sheriff greeted her with unwelcome hugs on more than 100 occasions over a 12-year period, along with at least one kiss. The sheriff frequently hugged female staffers, but used a handshake with male officers, Zetwick claimed. A district court granted summary judgment for the sheriff and the county. But the Ninth Circuit reversed, holding that a reasonable juror could conclude that the differences in hugging of men and women were not simply "genuine but innocuous differences in the way men and women routinely interact with members of the same sex and opposite sex." The panel remanded the case for consideration of the totality of the circumstances, particularly whether a reasonable juror would find that hugs—in the kind, number, frequency and persistence alleged by Zetwick—created a hostile work environment.  HR along with Public Works Services Director and Collections/Reclamation Field Systems Supervisor conducted interviews of qualified candidates for Utilities Mechanics job vacancies.  HR met with vendor KBI, a manufacturer of flexible and porous paving material derived from recycled tires in order to determine feasibility of using product for selected infrastructure projects as well as erosion mitigation. http://kbius.com/kbi-products/kbi-flexi-pave/ Lightning Safety There is little you can do to substantially reduce your risk of being struck by lightning if you are outside in a thunderstorm. The only completely safe action is to get inside a safe building or vehicle. Coach of Outdoor Sports Team Your little league team has an evening game at the local recreational park. The weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies, with a chance of thunderstorms by early evening. When you arrive at the park, you notice the only safe buildings are the restrooms. Shortly after sunset, the sky gets cloudy and you see bright flashes in the sky. What should you do? Get everyone into vehicles or the restrooms. Do NOT stay in the dugouts; they are not safe during lightning activity. Once in a safe place, wait 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder before resuming play. At the Beach or Lake Your family plans to go to the beach today. The weather forecast calls for a nice morning followed by a 30 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms. When you get to the beach, you see that the only nearby structures are open-sided picnic shelters. The parking lot is a 5 minute walk from the beach. By early afternoon skies are darkening and hear distant thunder. What should you do? Go to your car! Do NOT seek shelter under the beach picnic shelters. Wait 30 minutes until after the last rumble of thunder before going back to the beach Lightning Trivia  Cape Canaveral Air Force Station/Kennedy Space Center has documented lightning traveling almost 90 miles outward in the thunderstorm anvil.  How far can you see lightning? According to Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, up to 100-km flashes. Lightning Causes Forest Fires. Can Forest Fires Cause Lightning? Yes, smoke and carbon micro- particles, when introduced into the upper atmosphere, can become the initiators of static. Sufficient atmospheric static can spark discharge as lightning. Reports of massive lightning storms in coastal Brazil, Peru and Hawaii have been linked to burning of sugar cane fields. The late 90's Mexican forest fires resulted in unusual lightning activity in the USA High Plains area (Lyons, et al.) So, Camping, Climbing and Other Wilderness Activities You're cooking dinner on the camp stove when you hear distant rumbles of thunder. Your tent and a large open sided picnic shelter are nearby. Your vehicle is about quarter of a mile away parked at the trail head. What should you do? Go to your vehicle! The tent and picnic shelter are NOT safe places. Wait 30 minutes until after the last rumble of thunder before going back to the campsite. For those who cannot get to a vehicle, here are tips from the National Outdoor Leadership School on what to do in the back country, in a canoe, etc., as a last resort. When a Safe Location is not Nearby If you absolutely cannot get to safety, you can slightly lessen the threat of being struck with the following tips, but don't kid yourself--you are NOT safe outside. Know the weather patterns of the area you plan to visit. For example, in mountainous areas thunderstorms typically develop in the early afternoon, so plan to hike early in the day and be down the mountain by noon. Listen to the weather forecast for the outdoor area you plan to visit. The forecast may be very different from the one near your home. If there is a high chance of thunderstorms, stay inside.  Avoid open fields, the top of a hill or a ridge top.  Stay away from tall, isolated trees or other tall objects. If you are in a forest, stay near a lower stand of trees.  If you are in a group, spread out to avoid the current traveling between group members.  If you are camping in an open area, set up camp in a valley, ravine or other low area. Remember, a tent offers NO protection from lighting. Stay away from water, wet items, such as ropes, and metal objects, such as fences and poles. Water and metal do not attract lightning but they are excellent conductors of Lightning Trivia. too, can dust in an enclosed grain elevator create a static discharge. Recent reports (Orville, et al) show the Houston TX petrochemical industry, discharging copious amounts of hydrocarbons into the upper atmosphere, may be responsible for higher-than-normal lightning activity in that area. (National Lightning Safety Institute) Myth: If you’re caught outside during a thunderstorm, you should crouch down to reduce your risk of being struck. Fact: Crouching doesn’t make you any safer outdoors. Run to a substantial building or hard topped vehicle. If you are too far to run to one of these options, you have no good alternative. Myth: Lightning never strikes the same place twice. Fact: Lightning often strikes the same place repeatedly, especially if it’s a tall, pointy, isolated object. The Empire State Building is hit an average of 23 times a year. Myth: If it’s not raining or there aren’t clouds overhead, you’re safe from lightning. Fact: Lightning often strikes more than three miles from the center of the thunderstorm, far outside the rain or thunderstorm cloud. “Bolts from the blue” can strike 10-15 miles from the thunderstorm. Myth: Rubber tires on a car protect you from lightning by insulating you from the ground. Fact: Most cars are safe from lightning, but it is the metal roof and metal sides that protect you, NOT the rubber tires. Remember, convertibles, motorcycles, bicycles, open-shelled outdoor recreational vehicles and cars with fiberglass shells offer no protection from lightning. When lightning strikes a vehicle, it goes through the metal frame into the ground. Don't lean on doors during a thunderstorm. Myth: A lightning victim is electrified. If you touch them, you’ll be electrocuted. Fact: The human body does not store electricity. It is perfectly safe to touch a lightning victim to give them first aid. This is the most chilling of lightning Myths. Imagine if someone died because people were afraid to give CPR! Myth: If outside in a thunderstorm, you should seek shelter under a tree to stay dry. Fact: Being underneath a tree is the second leading cause of lightning casualties. Better to get wet than fried! Myth: If you are in a house, you are 100% safe from lightning. Fact: A house is a safe place to be during a thunderstorm as long as you avoid anything that conducts electricity. This means staying off corded phones, electrical appliances, wires, TV cables, computers, plumbing, metal doors and windows. Windows are hazardous for two reasons: wind generated during a thunderstorm can blow objects into the window, breaking it and causing glass to shatter and second, in older homes, in rare instances, lightning can come in cracks in the sides of windows. Myth: Structures with metal or metal on the body (jewelry, cell phones, Mp3 players, watches, etc.), attract lightning. Fact: Height, pointy shape, and isolation are the dominant factors controlling where a lightning bolt will strike. The presence of metal makes absolutely no difference on where lightning strikes. Mountains are made of stone, but get struck by lightning many times a year. When lightning threatens, take proper protective action immediately by seeking a safe shelter. Don’t waste time removing metal. While metal does not attract lightning, it does conduct it so stay away from metal fences, railing, bleachers, etc. Myth: If trapped outside and lightning is about to strike, I should lie flat on the ground. Fact: Lying flat increases your chance of being affected by potentially deadly ground current. If you are caught outside in a thunderstorm, you keep moving toward a safe shelter. Myth: Lightning flashes are 3-4 km apart. Fact: Old data said successive flashes were on the order of 3-4 km apart. New data shows half the flashes are about 9 km apart. The National Severe Storms Laboratory report concludes: "It appears the safety rules need to be modified to increase the distance from a previous flash which can be considered to be relatively safe, to at least 10 to 13 km (6 to 8 miles). In the past, 3 to 5 km (2-3 miles) was as used in lightning safety education. Myth: A High Percentage of Lightning Flashes Are Forked. Fact: Many cloud-to-ground lightning flashes have forked or multiple attachment points to earth. Tests carried out in the US and Japan verify this finding in at least half of negative flashes and more than 70% of positive flashes. Many lightning detectors cannot acquire accurate information about these multiple ground lightning attachments. Myth: Lightning Can Spread Out Some 60 Feet After Striking Earth. Fact: Radial horizontal arcing has been measured at least 20 m. from the point where lightning hits ground. Depending on soils characteristics, safe conditions for people and equipment near lightning termination points (ground rods) may need to be re-evaluated. ®ffirial ~roclamation C!Citp <!&f ([ape C!Canaberat jfloriba WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi was founded in 1931 during the Great Depression out of the need for an organization that could bring women together and expose them to a social, cultural and educational climate unavailable in those difficult times; and WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi has evolved into an international organization for women with 165,000 active members; and WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi, unlike a college sorority, is known around the world as "The Friendship Organization" and has members of all ages and educational backgrounds; and WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi members worldwide have raised more than $3 million for local charities and donate over 200,000 volunteer hours on average every year; and WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi's Orlando Area Council has this year adopted as a service project, The Russell Home for Atypical Children and gives continuing support to New Hope for Kids, in support of its mission to provide support to children of families grieving the death of a loved one and granting wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses in Central Florida.
