DETENTION FACILITY FOR THE NEWLY CONSTRUCTED OFFICE BUILDING;
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 500 NORTH MCLEAN BOULEVARD, BY ESTHER
ZAMUDIO, AS APPLICANT, AND BY EZAM PROPERTIES, LLC, AS OWNER
Councilmember Warren made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Kaptain, to remove
Petition 02-09 from the table. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Dunne, Gilliam,
Kaptain, Prigge, Steffen, Warren, and Mayor Schock. Nays: None.
Community Development Director Deering stated that a compromise has been reached between
the petitioners and the Tyler Tower Homeowners Association and that it is in full conformance.
Corporation Counsel William Cogley stated that the parking was not in compliance if the
building was to be fully leased for medical purposes. The parking stipulation would have to be
changed.
Councilmember Dunne stated he was concerned about other uses for the building that would not
have to come back before the Council. Mr. Deering stated that the Zoning Ordinance could be
modified such that any other uses would have to come back for approval. Mr. Cogley said this
would be problematic as there is previous PAB zoning for this building. Removing permitted
conditional uses could not be considered at this time.
Councilmember Steffen asked the president of the Tyler Tower Homeowners Association if they
were in agreement with the compromise. Sigi Psimenos stated she was speaking on behalf of the
association. She said there was still a problem with storm water drain and with the lighting, but
acknowledged these were both city issues. She also indicated that the removal of the oak tree
will be litigated later. She said the association would like assurance that the green buffer zone
will be permanent, but that they were otherwise in agreement. Mayor Schock asked if there
would be vegetation on top of the underground storage area and Mr. Bazos replied there would
be grass.
APRIL 29, 2009 VOLUME LXXIV
300
Councilmember Steffen then asked Mr. Bazos if there was a meeting of minds. Mr. Bazos said
that the grass buffer zone would be permanent unless the Council was to change the zoning. He
said the petitioners would agree to exempt a convenient store, but wondered why the Council
couldn‟t depart from the parking requirement. Mr. Cogley stated this should have been
presented in the original application. Mr. Bazos said they would like a concession on the
parking.
Councilmember Prigge asked Mr. Bazos if the petitioner could wait until the next meeting for
Council consideration. Mr. Bazos said they would wait if the petition could be adopted with
parking for 100% medical use. Councilmember Steffen asked what the delay of two more weeks
accomplish. Mr. Cogley replied that it would allow time to review the petition to determine if it
would allow for the parking change. Councilmember Warren asked what would happen if the
petition does not allow for a change. Mr. Cogley said it theoretically would mean a new petition,
but he hopes the current one will allow for the change. Mayor Schock asked if staff would try to
combine the parking revision with the original petition.
Councilmember Gilliam made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Steffen, to table Petition
02-09 until the next meeting. Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Dunne, Gilliam,
Kaptain, Prigge, Steffen, Warren, and Mayor Schock. Nays: None.
PETITION 06-09 APPROVED REQUESTING APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PAB PLANNED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE NO.

APPLICANT, AND 9N710 RANDALL ROAD L.L.C., GALLERY PROPERTIES L.L.C.,
SARASOTA LIGHTING & ACCESSORIES, L.L.C., AND PAR DEVELOPMENT, INC.,
AS OWNERS
Community Development Director Deering stated this petition included plans for two buildings
intended for service and retail uses. He stated the Planning and Development Commission
recommended approval subject to conditions.
Councilmember Steffen made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Gilliam, to approve
Petition 06-09 subject to conditions.
Councilmember Dunne said he understood the original use for the buildings were for medical
offices, but now there was a possibility one of the buildings was going to be used for a paint
store. He said this was a huge departure from what the Fire Department had originally approved.
Mr. Deering stated the plans have been thoroughly reviewed for this application and that it is in
full compliance and has the approval of the Fire Inspector. Councilmember Dunne said he felt it
was not in compliance and that he had originally reviewed the plans when he was the Fire
Marshall. Mr. Deering stated again that the plan had been reviewed three times and did have the
concurrence of the Fire Inspector.
VOLUME LXXIV APRIL 29, 2009
301
Councilmember Prigge asked how much time had expired between the time of Councilmember
Dunne‟s review of the plans and the public hearing. Mr. Deering replied there had been months,
but he did not know the exact amount of time. Councilmember Prigge asked if there had been
any changes to the plan and Mr. Deering stated that he was not aware of any changes during that
time. Mr. Deering said Councilmember Dunne had stated concessions had been made, but that
he felt a better word was equivalencies and that sometimes there were equivalent ways to
achieve the same goal. Councilmember Dunne said he had used the word concession
specifically. Mr. Deering said he was not aware of any concessions being given by the Fire
Department.
Upon a roll call vote: Yeas: Councilmembers Gilliam, Kaptain, Steffen, Warren, and Mayor
Schock. Nays: Councilmember Dunne and Councilmember Prigge.

“This message may contain confidential and/or proprietary
information and is intended for the person/entity to whom it was
originally addressed. Any use by others is strictly prohibited.”
SECTION 5: ADDITIONAL IDENTITY THEFT PREVENTION PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS
When the city maintains certain covered accounts pursuant to federal legislation, the city may
include the additional program details required under such federal accounts.
5.A: Covered Accounts
A covered account includes any account that involves or is designed to permit multiple
payments or transactions. Every new and existing customer account that meets the
following criteria is covered by this program:
1. Business, personal and household accounts for which there is a reasonably
foreseeable risk of identity theft; or
2. Business, personal and household accounts for which there is a reasonably
foreseeable risk to the safety or soundness of the city from identity theft, including
financial, operational, compliance, reputation, or litigation risks.
5.B: Red Flags
5.B.1: The following red flags are potential indicators of fraud. Any time a red
flag, or a situation closely resembling a red flag, is apparent, it should be
investigated for verification.
1. Alerts, notifications or warnings from a consumer reporting agency;
2. A fraud or active duty alert included with a consumer report;
3. A notice of credit freeze from a consumer reporting agency in
response to a request for a consumer report; or
4. A notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency as
defined in § 334.82(b) of the Fairness and Accuracy in Credit
Transactions Act.
5.B.2: Red flags also include consumer reports that indicate a pattern of activity
inconsistent with the history and usual pattern of activity of an applicant or
customer, such as:
1. A recent and significant increase in the volume of inquiries;
2. An unusual number of recently established credit relationships;
VOLUME LXXIV APRIL 29, 2009
325
3. A material change in the use of credit, especially with respect to
recently established credit relationships; or
4. An account that was closed for cause or identified for abuse of account
privileges by a financial institution or creditor.
5.C: Suspicious Documents
5.C.1: Documents provided for identification that appear to have been altered or
forged.
5.C.2: The photograph or physical description on the identification is not
consistent with the appearance of the applicant or customer presenting the
identification.
5.C.3: Other information on the identification is not consistent with information
provided by the person opening a new covered account or customer
presenting the identification.
5.C.4: Other information on the identification is not consistent with readily
accessible information that is on file with the city, such as a signature card
or a recent check.
5.C.5: An application appears to have been altered or forged, or gives the
appearance of having been destroyed and reassembled.
5.D: Suspicious Personal Identifying Information
5.D.1: Personal identifying information provided is inconsistent when compared
against external information sources used by the city. For example:
1. The address does not match any address in the consumer report;
2. The social security number (SSN) has not been issued or is listed on
the Social Security Administration‟s death master file; or
3. Personal identifying information provided by the customer is not
consistent with other personal identifying information provided by the
customer. For example, there is a lack of correlation between the SSN
range and date of birth.
5.D.2: Personal identifying information provided is associated with known
fraudulent activity as indicated by internal or third-party sources used by
the city. For example, the address on an application is the same as the
address provided on a fraudulent application.
APRIL 29, 2009 VOLUME LXXIV
326
5.D.3: Personal identifying information provided is of a type commonly
associated with fraudulent activity as indicated by internal or third-party
sources used by the city. For example:
1. The address on an application is fictitious, a mail drop, or a prison; or
2. The phone number is invalid or is associated with a pager or answering
service.
5.D.4: The SSN provided is the same as that submitted by other persons opening
an account or other customers.
5.D.5: The address or telephone number provided is the same as or similar to the
address or telephone number submitted by an unusually large number of
other customers or other persons opening accounts.
5.D.6: The customer or the person opening the covered account fails to provide
all required personal identifying information on an application or in
response to notification that the application is incomplete.
5.D.7: Personal identifying information provided is not consistent with personal
identifying information that is on file with the city.
5.D.8: When using security questions (mother‟s maiden name, pet‟s name, etc.),
the person opening the covered account or the customer cannot provide
authenticating information beyond that which generally would be
available from a wallet or consumer report.
5.E: Unusual Use Of, or Suspicious Activity Related To, the Covered Account
5.E.1: Shortly following the notice of a change of address for a covered account,
the city receives a request for new, additional, or replacement goods or
services, or for the addition of authorized users on the account.
5.E.2: A new revolving credit account is used in a manner commonly associated
with known patterns of fraud patterns. For example, the customer fails to
make the first payment or makes an initial payment but no subsequent
payments.
5.E.3: A covered account is used in a manner that is not consistent with
established patterns of activity on the account. There is, for example:
1. Nonpayment when there is no history of late or missed payments;
2. A material change in purchasing or usage patterns.
VOLUME LXXIV APRIL 29, 2009
327
5.E.4: A covered account that has been inactive for a reasonably lengthy period
of time is used (taking into consideration the type of account, the expected
pattern of usage and other relevant factors).
5.E.5: Mail sent to the customer is returned repeatedly as undeliverable although
transactions continue to be conducted in connection with the customer‟s
covered account.
5.E.6: The city is notified that the customer is not receiving paper account
statements.
5.E.7: The city is notified of unauthorized charges or transactions in connection
with a customer‟s covered account.
5.E.8: The city receives notice from customers, victims of identity theft, law
enforcement authorities, or other persons regarding possible identity theft
in connection with covered accounts held by the city
5.E.9: The city is notified by a customer, a victim of identity theft, a law
enforcement authority, or any other person that it has opened a fraudulent
account for a person engaged in identity theft.
SECTION 6: RESPONDING TO RED FLAGS
6.A: Detection of Potential Fraudulent Activity
Once potentially fraudulent activity is detected, an employee must act quickly as a rapid
appropriate response can protect customers and the city from damages and loss.
6.A.1: Once potentially fraudulent activity is det ected, gather all related
documentation and write a description of the situation. Present this
information to the designated authority for determination.
6.A.2: The designated authority will complete additional authentication to
determine whether the attempted transaction was fraudulent or authentic.
6.B: Detection of Fraudulent Transaction
If a transaction is determined to be fraudulent, appropriate actions must be taken
immediately. Actions may include:
1. Canceling the transaction;
2. Notifying and cooperating with appropriate law enforcement;
3. Determining the extent of liability of the city; and
4. Notifying the actual customer that fraud has been attempted.
APRIL 29, 2009 VOLUME LXXIV
328
SECTION 7: PERIODIC UPDATES TO PLAN
7.A: Re-Evaluation of Program and Policy at Scheduled Intervals
At periodic intervals established in the program, or as required, the program will be re-
evaluated to determine whether all aspects of the program are up to date and applicable in
the current business environment.
7.B: Review of Covered Accounts
Periodic reviews will include an assessment of which accounts are covered by the
program.
7.C: Review of Red Flags
As part of the review, red flags may be revised, replaced or eliminated. Defining new red
flags may also be appropriate.
7.D: Review of Fraudulent Activity Action
Actions to take in the event that fraudulent activity is discovered may also require
revision to reduce damage to the city and its customers.
SECTION 8: PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
8.A: Involvement of Management
1. This Identity Theft Prevention Program and Policy shall not be operated as an
extension to existing fraud prevention programs, and its importance warrants the
highest level of attention.
2. This Identity Theft Prevention Program and Policy is the responsibility of the
governing body. Approval of the initial plan has been appropriately documented and
maintained.
3. Operational responsibility of this Identity Theft Prevention Program and Policy is
delegated to the fiscal services group director.
8.B: Staff Training
1. Staff training shall be conducted for all employees, officials and contractors for
whom it is reasonably foreseeable that they may come into contact with accounts or
personally identifiable information that may constitute a risk to the city or its
customers.
2. The fiscal services group director shall be responsible for ensuring identity theft
training for all requisite employees and contractors.
3. Applicable employees shall receive annual training in all elements of this policy.
VOLUME LXXIV APRIL 29, 2009
329
4. To ensure maximum effectiveness, applicable employees may continue to receive
additional training as changes to the program are made.
8.C: Oversight of Service Provider Arrangements
1. It is the responsibility of the city to ensure that the activities of all service providers
are conducted in accordance with reasonable policies and procedures designed to
detect, prevent, and mitigate the risk of identity theft.
2. A service provider that maintains its own identity theft prevention program,
consistent with the guidance of the red flag rules and validated by appropriate due
diligence, may be considered to be meeting these requirements.
3. Any specific requirements should be specifically addressed in the appropriate contract
arrangements.
