Jonson Frank Hibbard Mayor/Commissioner Vice-Mayor/Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Also present: William B. Horne II Garry Brumback Pamela K. Akin Cynthia E. Goudeau Brenda Moses City Manager Assistant City Manager City Attorney City Clerk Board Reporter The Mayor called the meeting to order at 9:01 a.m. at City Hall. To provide continuity for research, items are in agenda order although not necessarily discussed in that order. DS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES First Readinq Ordinance 7183-03 - revise Appendix A. Buildinq Permit Fees. Code of Ordinances. The Fire and Development & Neighborhood Services departments have jointly proposed the co-location of the Fire Plans Review function by moving it physically from the Fire Marshal's Office to the Municipal Services Building. This program involves two full time fire plans reviewers, certified in accordance with Florida Statutes that empower the Fire Marshal to review all commercial plans (which includes multiple family residential; single family residential are excluded) for compliance with the Life Safety Code requirements. The authority remains with the Fire Marshal, while the daily operations are to be managed by the Building Official within the Development & Neighborhood Services Department. The benefits are more timely reviews, effectiveness and efficiency in reviewing building plans and issuing permits from a one-stop location. The proposal involves a budget of $102,990 for the fire plans review program. The current proposal includes an 11 % increase in building permit and plan review fees for commercial projects, that will generate approximately $102,990 of additional revenue to pay for the fire plans review program. In the last two fiscal years, the Development & Neighborhood Services Department received the following in revenues for building plans review and permit fees for commercial projects: FYOO/01 : FY01/02: Average for last 2 years: $ 1,037,061 $ 842,679 $ 939,870 Proposed revenues for FY04 for commercial projects: $939,870 +102,990 = $1,042,860. Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 1 . . . The City of Clearwater Chamber of Commerce, Pinellas County Construction Licensing Board and the Contractors Association have verbally given their support of the proposal in an effort to provide better service. It was noted this ordinance provides a reasonable opportunity to streamline the building permit fee process and save contractors time. In response to questions, Building Official Kevin Garriott explained how the fees would be implemented. He said there is no cap on fees. He said staff coordinated this fee structure with the major user groups and compared the fees with other cities. It was remarked this process also is customer-service oriented. ED/HSG ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/HOUSING Consolidated Action Plan Amendments and Approval to use CDBG funds for wavfindina. (Consent) The City Commission approved the FY02-03 Action Plan on June 20, 2002. Included in the Action Plan was the allocation of CDBG funds in the amount of $100,000 for the "Gateway Facade" program and $185,000 for the "City Real Property Acquisition-Targeted Areas" activity. After reviewing the priorities that we desired to accomplish in the CRA, we felt that it would be more useful to reallocate those funds to the Wayfinding project. This allocation of $100,000 was originally intended for facade improvements for the businesses in the Expanded Gateway area of the CRA. The $185,000 was originally intended and allocated for property acquisition in the North Greenwood Target Area. The property that was identified for acquisition, as part of the Mt. Carmel CDC's Elderly Rental project did not come to fruition. The City will replace the $185,000 in CDBG funds with $185,000 State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program funds to be used for the development costs associated with Mt. Carmel's planned development. The City has also allocated $260,000 in HOME Investment Partnership funds towards Mt. Carmel's project. This project is still in the acquisition and site planning phases. The use of CDBG funds to assist with the fabrication and installation of the Wayfinding project would fall under the category of "Public Facilities and Improvements" and would meet the CDBG National Objective criteria eligibility under "Slum and Blight" conditions (24 CFR 570.208(b)(1)). Some of the key principles for designating an area Slum and Blight, and using CDBG funds to address those conditions, include: - The Area has been officially designated. - The Area has to exhibit physical signs of blight or decay - in the case of the CRA, the blight and decay is primarily in the area of "Public Improvements" that are in a deteriorating condition. - The area has to have defined boundaries. - The proposed activities using CDBG funds will be limited to addressing those conditions that caused the slum and blight conditions that contributed to the deterioration. Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 2 . The City Manager said on September 18, 2003, the Governor appointed Mr. Carroll to a four-year term representing the City on the Affordable Housing Study Committee. In response to a question, Mr. Carroll said the entire $285,000 is going to the wayfinding project. Housina Loan Policv (WSO) Mr. Carroll gave a presentation regarding the City's Housing Loan Policy. He reviewed: 1) history of housing loan programs; 2) housing and economic development allocations; 3) types of loans, loan activities, portfolios, and loan restrictions; 4) subordination policy; 5) loan management; 6) loan modification; and 7) loan approval authority. In response to questions, Mr. Carroll said nonprofit organizations generate referrals to this service by working with people in the community. He explained how the down payment assistance program works. Nonprofit organizations help provide down payment assistance and verify income. He said all homes require that a home inspection be done prior to the sale to resolve outstanding issues. The rehabilitation program requires that homes also be inspected by the City's Building Department. Homes that require more than 50% rehabilitation work would not qualify for a loan. Mr. Carroll said a number of new homes have been built in the South Clearwater area. FN FINANCE First Readina Ordinance 7211-03 - amend Clearwater Code of Ordinances 2.322,2.325,2.328, 2.329 and 2.332 reaardina reimbursement and payment of travel costs. . City travel is currently governed by Section 2.321 through Section 2.332 of the City's Code of Ordinances. Section 2.325 refers to Florida Statutes 112.061 (6) when it comes to determining the amounts to reimburse the traveler for meals. These rates are $3 for breakfast, $6 for lunch, and $12 for dinner, for a total of $21 per day. These rates have not been changed in 22 years and are not sufficient to reimburse the traveler for expenses incurred. A State Auditor General (AG) opinion from 1974 stated that a municipality may, pursuant to the Municipal Home Rule Powers Act, enact per diem and travel allowances that vary from Florida Statute 112.061. However, a 2003 AG opinion reverses that opinion and states that while a municipality may legislate on the subject of per diem and subsistence allowances for governmental travelers, the rates established by 112.061 may not be exceeded. Legislation was passed this year which enables the City to prescribe it's own rates. On May 15, 2003, the City Commission approved in concept that the City enact new rates as those issued and updated by the General Services Administration (GSA) which are the rates used by federal government travelers. These rates are location specific, and are updated annually and readily available on the Internet. . The GSA rates for meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) are meant to include meals, taxes, and tips for meals, baggage carriers, hotel maids, etc. The 2004 GSA daily rates for M&IE range from $31 - $51 per day, depending on location. That breaks down to breakfast ranging from $6-$10, lunch from $6 - $12, and dinner from $16-26, plus $3 for incidentals. The City would continue to reimburse the actual expense for lodging, transportation, tolls, parking and business related communications. The City has added reimbursement for up to $2.50 per night for telephone calls home. The traveler would continue to be responsible to only incur those expenses Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 3 . that are necessary for the performance of the official business. Excess costs would be the responsibility of the traveler. Mileage will continue to be paid at the IRS rate (currently $.36/mile). Finance Director Margie Simmons said if an employee makes a personal call to his/her home while traveling, they would be reimbursed for $2.50 each night. Staff recommended purchasing a calling card. Lease Purchase Contract with SunTrust (Consent) The City solicited proposals for lease purchase (installment sale) financing for the next three fiscal years. The bidders bid a percentage of the weekly average index for the three and five year Constant Maturing Treasury Note (CMT) as published by the Federal Reserve Board. The following is a summary of the responsive proposals received: Ashford Capital Corp Bank of America GE Capital Koch Financial Sun Trust Leasing Corp. 3 Year Term 163.913% of 3 year CMT 65% of 3 year CMT plus 111 bp 181% of 3 year CMT 136% of 3 year CMT 127% of 3 year CMT 5 Year Term 112.5001 % of 5 year CMT 65% of 5 year CMT plus 88bp 137% of 5 year CMT 106% of 5 year CMT 94% of 5 year CMT With the exception of items that have a three-year useful life such as computer hardware, software and police cars, the lease purchases will be for five years. The City's cost of capital on June 13, 2003 using the rate bid by Sun Trust Leasing Corporation would be 1.94% for a three- year term and 2.14% for a five-year term. . The current contract, which was bid in 2000, is with Bank of America. The current three- year rate is 90% of 3 year CMT. The current five-year rate is 88% of 5 year CMT. It is believed that the substantial drop in interest rates has caused the proposals' relative rate to the CMT to climb. Approval of this item does not represent a commitment to borrow. Decisions to lease purchase specific items of equipment must be budgeted for or approved separately in accordance with the City's purchasing policy. In response to a question, Controller Bill Kleinsorge said he did not know why the Bank of America used a different evaluation than the other banks, however staff has converted their calculations accordingly. HR HUMAN RESOURCES Authorize the neootiation of a contract for health insurance with United HealthCare under a fully insured fundino arranoement for the contract period of January 1. 2004 to December 31.2004. at a total not to exceed cost of $14.750.000 (this includes both City ($9.925.000) and employee/retiree/COBRAlOut-of-Area ($4.825.000) premiums). and continue the mental health/substance abuse and EAP coveraae contract with Bradman/Unipsych at an estimated cost of $194.000. ($172.000. for current employees and $22.000. for retirees and COBRA) for the contract period of January 1. 2004 to December 31.2006. maintainina the City's current fundino strateay. . The contract with the City's current medical insurance provider, United HealthCare, expires on December 31,2003. In early 2003, United HealthCare proposed a rate increase not to exceed 19.5% with an increase in prescription co-payments if the City agreed not to go out for RFP. Since Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 4 . the City anticipated an increase in excess of 30% and was pleased with the level of service provided by United HealthCare, the City agreed to this proposal. The Benefits Committee evaluated various plan changes in an effort to lower the rate increase further. By a vote of 8 to 7, the Benefits Committee voted to accept the option that would increase the HMO Standard rates by 10.22% and the HMO Buy-up rates by 19.5%. This option includes an increase in the co-payments for inpatient and outpatient hospital stays, emergency room services, ambulance services, urgent care, and prescriptions. Staff and the Benefits Committee recommend United Healthcare be awarded a one-year contract to provide medical insurance coverage for calendar year January through December 31, 2004. Additionally, staff recommends Bradman/Unipsych be awarded a three-year contract to continue EAP and mental health/substance abuse coverage for City employees and their covered dependents for January 1, 2004, through December, 2006. This renewal would be without a rate increase. . For fiscal year 2004, the City has budgeted approximately $9,760,000 for the City's share of both medical insurance coverage and EAP/Mental Health/Substance Abuse coverage. The City's estimated share of these expenses for FY 04, which covers three months of the current contract and nine months of this proposed contract, is $9,860,000. The difference between budgeted and actual costs, estimated to be $100,000, will be paid out of the Premium Stabilization Fund. Costs related to this contract for coverage from October through December 2004, estimated to be $3,736,000, will be budgeted as part of the fiscal year 2005 budget. Staff also recommends that the current funding strategy for City contributions to health care of 100% for HMO Standard "Employee Only," 75% for "Employee plus One," and 68% for "Employee plus Family," with the same dollar amounts calculated in the HMO Standard plan applied to the tiers in the HMO Buy-Up, POS Standard, and POS Buy-Up plans be maintained. In response to a question, Ms. Simmons said approximately 60% of employees have the Employee Only coverage; 16.5% have elected the Employee Plus One coverage; and 23.5% have elected the Family coverage. It was remarked that this proposed increase is just under $30/month for Family coverage. Staff was complimented for minimizing the overall increases. It was remarked the lion's share of the increase would be borne by the City. PR PARKS AND RECREATION Adopt Res. 03-33 - authorize the execution of a District 7 Off-System Maintenance AQreement and Letter of Understandino between the City of Clearwater and the State of Florida Department of Transportation for the purpose of constructino .7 miles of the East/West Trail from the Safety Harbor city limits to Coopers Bayou Park on the eastern side of Bayshore Boulevard. The Florida Department of Transportation has completed the design and will construct a .7- mile section of the Clearwater East-West Trail along the eastern side of Bayshore Boulevard from the Safety Harbor/Clearwater city limits south to Coopers Bayou. This section was funded through the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century (TEA-21) administered by and funded by FDOT. There are no construction or design costs to the City. This project will replace existing sidewalk along the east side of Bayshore Blvd. with an 8' to 10' - wide asphalt trail. . Ongoing maintenance of the trail will continue to be the responsibility of the City. Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 5 . . . This resolution specifically authorizes the execution of the associated Maintenance Agreement and Letter of Understanding. TEA-21 requires both formal agreements to define the responsibilities for maintenance of the project and the commitments of the FOOT and the City of Clearwater with respect to the construction of the project. In response to questions, Parks & Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar explained where Coopers Bayou Park is located and its proximity to State Road 60. He said discussion is planned regarding plans for a southern route on the east/west trail. He said the City currently maintains the sidewalk in the area. First Readina Ordinance 7194-03 - establish new non-resident fees for non-residents to participate at City recreation facilities and in City recreation proarams and activities. On October 18, 1993, the City Commission approved a formula for the purpose of computing fees for non-residents and established categories for non-residents. The formula adopted is as follows: Department O&M Budget ($9,692,626) plus Indirect Overhead ($754,501) minus Budgeted Revenue ($2,396,700) equals Subtotal ($8,050,427) divided by Population (109,000) Subtotal ($73.86) plus $5.00 Capital Recovery Component equals Non-Resident Yearly Fee ($78.86) Non-resident fees were last increased in 2000. Since that time, the Parks and Recreation Department's budgeted expenses and revenues have increased. Based on the formula, the proposed fees included in the ordinance for non-residents are as follows: Type of Fee (Cards)* ................... .Current.......Proposed**........ ..Difference Annual individual card........ ........... .$70.00... ........$80.00............... .$1 0.00 Annual family card (2.5 x annual)...$175.00........$200.00................$25.00 Single season sports fee...... ..........$37.00.. ........ .$42.00.................$5.00 *Annual resident cards are $3.00 per person plus sales tax. **Plus sales tax If these fees are approved, there will be an estimated net increase in revenue of $7,500 during FY 2003/2004. In response to a question, Mr. Dunbar said fees are being charged on an annual basis, depending upon the purchase date. The new rate impacts the user on the renewal date. Mr. Dunbar explained how the play pass works for nonresidents. Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 6 PW PUBLIC WORKS . Adopt Res. 03-34 - enter into an Urban and Community Forestry Grant Memorandum of Aareement with the State of Florida Department of Aariculture and Consumer Services. Division of Forestry. In 2002, the Urban Forestry Division received $15,000 in grant funds from the Florida Division of Forestry due to the successful submission of an Urban and Community Forestry Grant. The funds will be used to conduct a comprehensive tree inventory that will be entered into and managed by a Geographical Information System (GIS) based asset management tool. The inventory management system will support the City's initiative to inventory all City infrastructure through the asset management program. The new GIS based tree inventory management system will replace the existing DOS based program. The first phase will inventory trees located on all public properties from Highland Avenue to the west. That inventory is scheduled for completion by mid-summer of 2004. The Urban Forestry Division will apply for $15,000 in Urban and Community Forestry Grant funds again this year. If successful, the funds will be used to assist with conducting phase two of the new inventory. Phase two will inventory trees located on all public properties between Tampa Bay and Highland Avenue and from Union Street to the city limits to the south and east of Highland Avenue. The second phase of the inventory is scheduled for completion by mid-summer of 2005. . The third and final phase will inventory the remaining trees located on public lands within the City of Clearwater, principally in the Countryside area, and is scheduled for completion by mid-summer of 2006. Next year the Division will apply for grant funds to assist with phase three of the inventory. Phase one of the inventory will be completed by an urban forestry consultant firm. The consultants will train City Urban Forestry personnel to collect and enter tree inventory data. Phase two and three will be completed in-house by Urban Forestry Division personnel. Grant funds will allow the Division to hire contract tree trimmers to assist the forestry operations while selected Division personnel conduct the inventory. It was remarked that this is a great opportunity for public involvement. First Readina Ordinance 7192-03 - provide a revised waterina schedule for all types of water to parallel the Southwest Florida Water Manaaement District rescission of Executive Order SWF 01- 18 and adopt the current water use restrictions contained in Chapter 40D-22. F.A.C. The Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) has the authority to establish water use restrictions based on "Best Management Practices", current hydrogeological conditions, and as contained in Chapter 40D-21, F.A.C. SWFWMD determined those conditions warrant a modification of the current restrictions to promote and require water conservation during times of average and above average rainfall as well as during declared water shortages, and, has rescinded Executive Order SWF 00-18. . City staffs recommendation is in support of SWFWMD's efforts of "Year-Round Water Conservation Measures". Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 7 . . . The permanent restrictions are officially referred to as "Year-Round Water Conservation Measures" and have been rewritten and codified by the District in the modified version of Rule 400-22 as published for adoption in the Florida Administrative Weekly on July 11, 2003. The highlights of the rule are as follows: a) Even numbered addressed such as 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and the letters A-through-M may water on Tuesdays and/or Saturdays. b) Odd Numbered addresses such as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and the letters N-through-Z may water on Wednesdays and/or Sundays. c) All irrigation shall be prohibited between the hours of 1 0:00A.M. and 4:00 P.M. In response to a question, Assistant City Manager Garry Brumback said this would align the City with the County's process. Public Utilities Director Andy Neff said this ordinance would go into effect upon adoption. In response to a question, Water Superintended Louis Badami said the County has resolved their water pressure issues. He said the language in this ordinance came verbatim from SWFWMD's regulations. In response to a question, Mr. Neff said the reduction in water usage in the data provided is most probably due to increased rainfall in 2003 rather than the one day a week watering schedule. He said regulations regarding wells remain the same. Accept a Utility Easement dated June 30. 2003 conveyed by Brown-19. LLC over and across a 1403 sa. ft. portion of Pinellas County Parcel 17-29-16-00000-220-0100. aka Drew 19 Shoppina Center. (Consent) The Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) new Drew Street overpass and interchange construction project has terminated direct U. S. 19 access for the Pinellas County Public Works Yard and businesses located north of Drew Street and east of U. S. Highway 19. The FOOT project includes construction of a new access road to these County and business operations. A Pinellas County Traffic Operations Division warrant study recommended installation of a signal at the planned intersection of the new access road with Drew Street directly across from the Drew 19 Shopping Center. A permanent mast arm type signal and signal cabinet will be constructed within existing Drew Street right-of-way. The subject easement grant will facilitate installation and operation of Inductive Loop Detectors and related electrical services at the shopping center entrance that will govern signal operation. The easement grant also provides for installation of a temporary signal pole and support guy until the new access road is completed, following which the permanent mast arm will be installed. Concern was expressed the location of the traffic signal has the potential to back up traffic under the overpass. Assistant Director of Engineering AI Carrier said it coincides with the first entrance of the Best Buy complex from an easterly approach. It is similar to the southern approach towards the Countryside Mall. Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 8 . Traffic Operations Manager Paul Bertels said this is an access road, not a frontage road. The MPO has requested that another evaluation be done once the interchange is complete. Staff will provide a rendering of the area surrounding the access road. Adopt Res. 03-37 - support the levy of a one-cent local option qas tax, called the ninth-cent. to be effective January 2005, for the purpose of fundina the countywide Adaptive Traffic Manaaement System (A TMS) and Intelliaent Transportation System (ITS) and Res. 03-38 - support the levy of an additional five cents local option aas tax, to be effective January 2005 and to be distributed countywide for the improvement of the transportation system. The Board of County Commissioners is presenting two resolutions to the City Commission for consideration relating to a proposed fuel tax increase. This will be brought forward for your consideration in October. The first resolution deals with enacting an additional five cents of Local Option Gas Tax (LOGT) effective January 2005. The second resolution is the 9th cent Fuel Tax, which would be devoted to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployment and operations. This 9th cent would also be effective January 2005. Along with the enactment of the resolutions is the issue of the proper sharing formula for the generated revenue. The current LOGT of 6 cents is shared on a 75/25 percent split with the county receiving the first 75% and the 24 municipalities splitting the remaining 25% based on population. Clearwater's population percentage is 16.86. The current discussion is leaning toward four possible scenarios. They are 75/25%, 66.6/33.3%, 60/40% and 50/50%. County's estimate for Clearwater's share in each of these scenarios based on 2002 population figures is as follows: . 75/25%: 66.6/33.3%: 60/40%: 50/50%: $ 700,000 $ 1,000,000 $1,150,000 $ 1,500,000 These figures reflect that Clearwater will receive 16.86% of the municipal dollars. It should be noted that whatever funding share is adopted for the new five-cent LOGT could also be applied to the existing 6 cent LOGT when it expires in February 2007. County has indicated that a lower percentage than 75% as the County's share could require municipalities to contribute more to their share of County projects planned for that municipality (Le., Belcher Road). The extension of the existing six-cent LOGT would continue to fund existing programs already in the pipeline. Pinellas County's share is used to fund maintenance projects. The City's share funds major intersection improvements and traffic calming projects. Extension of this existing 6 cent LOGT could require a third resolution. The current Clearwater share of this six- cents is $900,180 per year. The new five-cent levy would fund programs including capacity enhancement, preservation and protection of road and bridge infrastructure, community enhancement projects and economic development projects. The County has identified Gulf Blvd. as it's leading project for these funds. Clearwater's share could be spent on beach streetscape projects (Beach Walk) and/or downtown streetscape projects. Examples of projects identified by the County in Clearwater would be Belcher Road from Druid Road to Sunset Point Road, Highland Avenue from Druid Road south, Belleair Road from Missouri Avenue to Alternate U.S. 19 and Old Coachman Road from Drew Street to Sunset Point Road. . The 9th cent levy would be used for capacity optimization namely A TMS/lTS deployment as well as operation and maintenance of the ATMS corridors such as Gulf to Bay and U.S. 19. Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 9 . This funding would be used exclusively by the county and would generate approximately $3.6M per year or $35M bonded out over 20 years. Public Works Administrator Mashid Arasteh said there was a change to the schedule in the Commission's packet. The decision regarding the gas tax would be postponed until December 2003 or January 2004. County Administrator Steve Spratt said the County Commission decided not to have a deadline other than the statutory deadline of July 1 st for implementation if the tax is approved in January. A meeting is scheduled with County Commissioner on October 10th to gain input from citizens and municipalities. He said three public meetings are scheduled to explain how the tax would solve unfunded transportation needs. The County wants to determine how the cities are using revenues. It was remarked the Council of Mayors is adamant about a SO/50 percent split between the County and municipalities. It was remarked that citizens want to know why the Penny for Pinellas cannot take care of these transportation needs. Mr. Spratt said the County's presentation at public meetings would address how Penny for Pinellas funds have been spent. In response to a question, Mr. Spratt the existing gas tax was adopted in 1997. It was remarked there is a proposal in the legislature to allow the County to put an inflation factor in the tax proposal. . It was remarked the six cent tax would be for maintenance needs, whereas the five cent would be for the infrastructure related to local comp plans. It was suggested the County and the City have dialogue to determine how the County came up with priority projects for Clearwater. Mr. Spratt said the City Manager was asked to review a list of candidate projects to see if Clearwater's priorities are different than the County's. Mr. Spratt said the County prioritizes projects based on safety hazards, congestion, etc. Concern was expressed regarding how this proposed tax interfaces with the Pinellas Mobility issues and tax. Mr. Spratt said there are no mass transit projects in the list of candidate projects. The County will meet with the PST A regarding identifying funds for transit use. The proposed gas tax would address roadway infrastructure and beautification issues. Local matches need to be identified. It was remarked that the PMI (Pinellas Mobility Initiative) Task Force has preliminarily identified a transit surtax. It was felt some projects should be state projects. Mr. Spratt said the County envisions the state being a funding partner. The State is looking for counties to help with dollars to get project done sooner. Mr. Spratt said improvements would not necessarily trigger more development, but would address transportation development and avoid spending dollars to catch up with needs. It was remarked citizens want to see dollars going toward mobility projects rather than beautification efforts. Concern was expressed that taking the ITS project out of the municipalities' hands may affect the standards and priorities that each City has in their individual municipalities. It was felt more discussion regarding the ITS is needed In response to a question, Mr. Spratt said Highland Avenue is a County road, however traffic control is the responsibility of the jurisdiction. . This item was pulled. Work Session Agenda 09-29-03 10 . . . ORLS OFFICIAL RECORDS/LEGISLATIVE SERVICES Appoint three (3) members to a three (3) year term to the Municipal Code Enforcement Board.
