This city was founded in April 1909

and incorporated in January 1911 as a retirement community for Civil War Union Soldiers. In their honor, our city is known as the Soldier City. We celebrated our centennial year in 2009 and had many activities to pay tribute to such an important date. Our community came together and put on a great show for all to enjoy.

While the city continues to grow, City of St. Cloud continues planning for growth in a responsible manner to maintain the quality of life we all love.

The size of the city is controlled by voluntary annexation based on the supply of services to the expanding urban area.

Growth has been demand-based, and City

of St. Cloud services have been extended to meet the needs of new residents, as well as to provide economies of scale for the operation of City of St. Cloud utilities and services. Ten years ago, the city’s population was just over 23,400; today, the city’s population is nearly 38,000.

Since 2000, the city’s land area has grown from 9.74 square miles to 19 square miles. We work hard to ensure that residents enjoy celebrating small-town life coupled with the benefits of a growing city.

Residents and visitors enjoy a beautiful lakefront park and marina that boasts a beautiful marina building with banquet facilities, a boat-docking area, a children’s park area (with a splash

pad), and a lakeside walking and bike trail. Residents also relish a wonderful downtown shopping area, full fire and police services, public utilities, public schools, churches, hospital, library, and numerous parks and recreational programs for our entire community.

Truly, we have something for the young and young-at-heart.

We welcome you to the St. Cloud family and hope that you will find our magnificent city to be friendly and accommodating.

Regards, Mayor Donna Hart

What makes St. Cloud unique?

Some might say the wonderful, city-maintained Lakefront Park with its modern marina, white sandy beach, two-and-a-halfmile, paved jogging and bicycle path, fishing piers, and lakeside seafood restaurant. The bow on this municipal package is the beautiful sunsets and sunrises that cause you to pause and be grateful you live in St. Cloud.

Others will tell you it’s the homey, small-town character of our city of nearly 38,000 residents where people know one another and greet each other. Certainly the quality of education, with most schools being A-rated and the investment of $55 million to renovate and expand St. Cloud High School, is worthy of mention. The expanding St. Cloud Regional Medical Center and the number of new doctors with new specialties, while not unique, add to the total St. Cloud composite as a special place.

The Chamber staff, left to right: Linda Pinkerton, Events Coordinator; Marikay Effler, Accounting Manager; David Lane, President/CEO; Jane Haley, Executive Assistant; Madelyn Long, Membership & Sales; Betty Medema, Information Coordinator

Unique among many cities in today’s economic climate is the strong financial state of the city. Without sacrificing essential services, the City has advanced several growth projects, such as a state-of-the-art and award-winning water treatment plant, a new business incubator (opening April 2010) to develop new technology and medical services companies, and new road projects to ensure a transportation network to accommodate growth, all the while remaining fiscally conservative. All of the aforementioned make St. Cloud special.

What I think makes St. Cloud so unique, however, is its people.

People like Ron Riley, Parks Recreation Supervisor and PAC-10 Hall of Famer for his years on the basketball court at the University of Southern California. (He holds the all time rebounding record at USC set 35 years ago.) Ron went on to play professional basketball for four years, the last three with the Houston Rockets. Sixteen years ago, Ron began a youth basketball league which has grown to capacity under his leadership, teaching skills and values to hundreds of kids along the way.

People such as the many, many adults who invest endless hours in the St. Cloud Little League Program, the largest such program in the State of Florida, and all the coaches and parents who have developed the enormously successful Pop Warner Football and Cheerleader program. It is these and many other programs by churches, scouting, and the schools that call for thousands of invested hours by volunteers that make St. Cloud unique.

This is a city where giving by participation is very high. It is truly a family-oriented community. If you are new to St. Cloud … Welcome. If you are considering St. Cloud as a place to live, you will find it to be unique.

If you live in St. Cloud, you know how lucky you are.

The Chamber provides leadership and education on governmental issues; growth and economic matters through several types of forums; job development using workshops, receptions and employment connections; and candidate forums to inform the public for elected official selection.

Chamber members enjoy the privilege of being the best informed in the community on a wide range of opportunities, issues and activities.

e r u t u F g i B , n w Small To

The year 2010 is a milestone year for the community of St. Cloud. It begins its second century as an organized town and looks forward to the next 100 years with the same zeal and enthusiasm that the early townspeople felt as their little community grew and prospered. The next decade could see nearly as many changes coming to St. Cloud as were experienced during that first decade of existence. St. Cloud is strategically positioned to be impacted by a major development to the north, which has begun; and potentially by another to the south, which is still on the drawing boards.

This year is also an official census year. With the past decade having been one of almost continuous growth, the resulting census counts will significantly contribute to the pace and degree of development anticipated throughout the next decade.

The new census counts will impact the accessibility of federal grants and funds to help finance projects that are necessary to continue the desirable level of quality of life St. Cloud residents enjoy and expect; and to nourish economic development.

Every resident contributes to the fabric of St. Cloud. Even as the community experienced record growth during the past two decades, it has been the objective of city government and civic leaders that St. Cloud would maintain that small-town feeling that is woven into the dynamics of the community. Every citizen is important to and part of that welcoming “small town” essence that is St. Cloud.

The Past During the late 1800’s, settlers who came to what is now St. Cloud were primarily involved with the works of Hamilton Disston.

The Philadelphia entrepreneur had contracted with the State of Florida in 1881 to drain the swamps of Central Florida and the overflowed lands south of Orlando which included the present-day St. Cloud area. For the incredible price of $1 million, Disston, heir to the Henry Disston & Sons Saw Works, the largest manufacturer of saws and files in the U.S., received approximately four million acres. Disston brought engineers and workers to the area to dredge the canals. With the completion of the canal into East Lake Tohopekaliga in 1884 more than 400 acres of the reclaimed land was planted in sugarcane, which had been grown in smaller plots prior to Disston’s arrival. Soon after, Disston bought the sugarcane operation and created the Florida Sugar Manufacturing Company. He constructed a $350,000-mill on the canal near East Lake Tohopekaliga and at its peak the mill processed 200 tons of sugar cane every 24 hours and was reportedly the largest sugar mill in America at the time. >>> One of several murals that grace buildings in downtown St. Cloud.

Chamber Partners Share Our Vision

Over and above Chamber dues, the Chamber is supported in its activities and programs by the backing of Chamber Partners. These partners provide special financial support at one of four levels: Bronze – from $2,500; Silver – from $5,000; Gold – from $10,000; Platinum – $20,000 and above. www.stcloudflchamber.com ­— 11

While many think St. Cloud acquired its name from St. Cloud, Minnesota, it is the sugar connection that inspired the name. Attributed variously to a French engineer who worked for Disston, or to Professor Bridges, principal of the Kissimmee High School at the time, the name of St. Cloud was suggested, the same name of an ancient city of France which was noted for its great sugar refineries.

On April 30, 1896, Disston died suddenly from heart disease, as reported by the New York Times. The sugar operation shut down shortly thereafter, and the little sugar community just sort of coasted for several years.

Officers of the Seminole Land and Investment Company, a subsidiary of the National Tribune, official This mural illustrates St. Cloud’s patriotic heritage. newspaper for the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), became acquainted with the area. By 1909 the company had purchased 35,000 acres of land and announced the development of the “New town of St. Cloud, a Soldier’s Colony" which would be a community specifically for retired Union veterans. April 23, 1909, the first city lots, 25’ x 150’ plus five acres outside of town, were sold by lottery for $50.

Twelve hundred lots were sold. On May 7th, a second offering upped the price to $100 for the city lot plus five acres; and on May 21, 1909, the first settler arrived, ready to move in, but had to pitch a tent as the houses were not ready. By August it was reported that the town had about 20 people, but by September 1910 St. Cloud had a population of nearly 2,000 and was a beehive of activity. In February 1911, the little community was officially incorporated as a city.

For the next 100 years, the community grew and prospered, ever proud of its patriotic heritage and dedication to remembering all veterans.

Before St. Cloud became the Soldier’s Colony, settlers and ranchers were in the area.

Agriculture has contributed substantially to the commerce and growth of the city.

This is still so today, with large ranching operations to the east and south of St. Cloud. The strong agricultural influence is still prevalent in the area as evidenced by the strength of the Osceola County Extension Service, a local branch of the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and >>> Large cattle ranches south and east of St. Cloud continue the ranching way of life. © 2010 Kissimmee CVB

Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS), located at Osceola Heritage Park, just west of St. Cloud. It provides yearround assistance for urban residents as well as commercial agricultural businesses. Volunteer Family and Community Education members, Master Gardeners, and 4-H leaders help extend county and university resources and provide many community services. Osceola County’s 4-H program includes more than 600 youth, ages 5-18.

The 4-H curriculum is available for teachers and home schools through school enrichment activities.

4H is a popular activity for St. Cloud youngsters.

The Future St. Cloud was impacted by the record-setting rate of growth experienced by the entire state of Florida during the 1990’s and the first several years of this decade. The population recorded in 1990 was 20,074; estimates for 2010 are nearly 38,000. In almost every direction of the city, with the exception of North, which runs into East Lake Toho, one can drive through large sections of commercial and residential development and note, “This wasn’t here five or ten years ago.”

Long-time residents welcomed newcomers from across the globe. Neighborhoods sprang up, and new schools were built.

There were growing pains along the way, but St. Cloud maintained its small-town sense of community and charm.

That small-town essence was and still is one of the drivers for growth.

St. Cloud is an inviting place to live, raise a family, and conduct business.

Another major growth influencer was and is the happy accident of St. Cloud’s location.

Situated just 30 minutes south of Orlando International Airport and downtown Orlando, and just 45 minutes to world-famous theme parks, St. Cloud is less than an hour's drive to I-95, the Atlantic beaches, and the shipping ports of Port Canaveral. The new southern access to Florida's Turnpike makes it easily accessible from nearly any area of the city. >>>

Medical City Location, location, location. St. Cloud also has the good fortune to be situated just minutes south of the Lake Nona Development’s complex known as Medical City, which will sprawl across 600 acres in southeast Orange County. A multifaceted development that will take years to complete, the entire development will represent more than a $1.5 billion investment at completion, adding more than 30,000 new jobs, many of them paying well above the current average.

Components of Medical City 1. Burnham Institute for Medical Research which opened in 2009, is one of only four NIH comprehensive centers for chemical biology and drug discovery in the nation and will focus on research into diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

2. The University of Central Florida College of Medicine, which welcomed its first class in August 2009 and will occupy the building in May 2010, includes the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences which opened in October 2009.

All of this development just north of the city will be a strong stimulus for growth and development in St. Cloud. Anticipating an increase of north/ south traffic, the Board of County Commissioners used foresight in approving the widening of Narcoossee Road (State Route 15), a project that is well underway and slated for completion in 2010. Additionally benefiting growth on the east side of the city is the widening of U. S. Highway 192 to Melbourne, which was completed last year.

Stevens Plantation Waiting to welcome new businesses and residents, Stevens Plantation (StevensPlantation.com) is an easily accessible master-planned, high-tech business park that includes executive housing neighborhoods and a retail center is planned. The mixed-use development epitomizes the uniqueness of St. Cloud, providing state-of-the-art facilities with small-town lifestyle and charm. The entire property features 100% Fiber Optic connectivity to both homes and businesses.

Extending another hand of welcome to new businesses, the city’s Incubator Program broke ground in August 2009. The 14,200-square-foot incubator facility, located at the Corporate Campus in Stevens Plantation, is a partnership project between the University of Central Florida, the City of St. Cloud, and Osceola County. >>>

3. M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Institute will occupy the fifth floor of UCF’s Burnett School building, with plans to build a freestanding research facility within five years.

4. Nemours Children’s Hospital, scheduled to open in 2012, is a 95-bed hospital and 60-acre health campus which will feature a children’s outpatient specialty clinic, an emergency department, and education and research centers.

5. Orlando Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center, also slated to open in 2012, will serve more than 400,000 veterans in Central Florida with 134 hospital beds, 120 community living-center beds, an outpatient clinic, and a 60-bed residential rehabilitation program.

6. The University of Florida Academic and Research Center has announced plans for a Comprehensive Drug Development Center, including a Ph.D. program, a College of Pharmacy that will move from Apopka, and 15 biomedical research laboratories.

Plans also call for retail, residential, restaurants, office space, and outpatient facilities to support the 600-acre science and technology park.

Incubator Program The incubator will provide low-cost commercial space, shared services, and business mentoring to between 20 and 30 companies. Selected companies will receive help with networking, financial management, and access to bank loans and guarantee programs, as well as management of their intellectual property and technology. Entrepreneurs are accepted into the incubation program through an application process. The program is being funded by the city, which pledged $1.3 million to the project, and Osceola County, which will contribute an additional $675,000 over a five-year period.

According to statistics from the National Business Incubation Association, incubators pay off for their host cities. About 87 percent of companies that graduate from an incubator program remain in business five years after graduating, and 84 percent of those companies stay in the community.

Association data also shows that every 50 jobs created by an incubator client generates another 25 jobs into the community. The objective of the city is, of course, to bring new businesses to the community, and specifically to attract higher-paying new jobs. With smart planning in creating the incubator program, plus new business incentives the city offers, the city is poised to be ready to move ahead as the economy progresses more positively, and as opportunities come its way as a result of the Lake Nona Medical City development.

The new incubator building is located in the Corporate Campus at Stevens Plantation.

Taking another progressive step for business development within the city, the City Council in October 2009 voted to apply for a Green Local Government Standard designation, a unique state program that defines standards of environmental stewardship specifically for local governments to receive an official “Green City” designation. (The application is in process as this publication goes to press.)

With these initiatives in place or in development, the City of St. Cloud looks forward to the positive growth the 2010 census will report, and even further ahead into the 21st Century. The current economy might not look totally rosy but the future is bright and to its credit, the city is working hard to be pro-active to plan for, and be prepared for, the continued development and expansion it knows is coming. >>>

Demographics At a time of fiscal decline for most local, regional, and national governmental entities, St. Cloud has made headway in its economic programs, i.e., transportation projects, new incubator program, medical services, and key industries. This forward motion reflects itself in the projections for 2014, with a population estimated to top 44,000, more than double that of 2000.

Average family income is also expected to climb to nearly $58,000 and the community should add another 4,500 housing units.

Education Quality education is a requirement high on every list for companies when considering cities for new or expanded endeavors. St. Cloud scores high in this category. In 2009 six St. Cloud public elementary schools earned an A rating under the strict Florida standards, while two new schools are as yet unrated. Two Charter Schools, both B-rated, offer an educational option for preschool through 8th grade. Four A-rated middle schools serve the community, and two public high schools anchor the east and central parts of St. Cloud.

Harmony High School, which opened in 2004, is a B school.

St. Cloud High School, a long-established school rich in tradition and local pride, will soon be a B-rated school.

Two magnate schools are available for St. Cloud high school students. Conveniently located just west of St. Cloud, TECO/ PATHS offers both academic and technical/career training.

Academically, this A-rated school ranks number one in the county, with a 100% graduation rate and 99% of students earn over a 2.0 GPA with 55% at 3.0 GPA or higher. The technical programs include a highly ranked Licensed Practical Nurse program, Criminal Justice Academy, Automotive NATEF and AYES certifications, Information Technology certifications, along with Electrical Contractors and Industrial Trades Apprenticeship programs. A second magnate high school, also A-rated, the Osceola County School for the Arts serves students interested in the arts, dramatic and visual. This newer addition to the District reflects the strong dedication to the cultural arts in education. High-ranking eighth grade students also have the option of applying to the District’s

In addition to the public school system, the option of choice and neighborhood proximity are provided by Charter schools offering two elementary and two middle schools for St. Cloud area residents. Several private schools also provide additional educational options.

Just as the strength of the community relies on the involvement and participation of its citizens, the strength and quality of St. Cloud’s schools can be attributed to dedicated parents who volunteer readily and give generously to create and maintain a positive and nurturing school community. >>>>

Heritage & Culture Students of architecture frequently find more of interest in St. Cloud than they initially think possible. One of the nation’s first women architects, Isabel Roberts, moved to St. Cloud from Oak Park, Illinois in 1918. Isabel was among Frank Lloyd Wright’s first employees when he set up his own Oak Park Studio in 1889. Isabel Roberts worked in several capacities at the Studio, not the least of which was creative design, having studied architecture for three years in New York City.

She is credited with producing original designs for the leaded art glass windows in the Prairie house designs made famous by Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Veterans Memorial Library, designed by Isabel Roberts, one of the nation's first female architects, now houses the St. Cloud Heritage Museum.

Isabel Roberts’ influence on St. Cloud can be seen in buildings she designed in the early 1920’s. Veterans Memorial Library, 1012 Massachusetts Avenue, is now a museum. The current St. Cloud Twin movie theater on 10th Street was designed by Roberts and built originally as the Pennsylvania Hotel. Other landmarks designed by Isabel Roberts are Fisk Funeral Home’s Chapel, 1107-1111 Massachusetts Avenue, and the Peoples Bank building at the corner of 10th Street and New York Avenue. >>>>>>>>>

Peghorn Nature Park, just off 17th Street, is a 58-acre park with marked hiking trails and a Cracker Village, preserving wetlands and heritage.

The Osceola County Historical Society’s Pioneer Center includes an 1898 Cracker House, a 1900s general store, and blacksmith shop.

St. Cloud is proud of its heritage and strives to preserve it and to share it with newcomers and visitors. Three museums are located downtown. They capture the story of the area’s founding fathers, and mothers, and trace its history through the 1900’s.

Housed in the original St. Cloud Library, photos, historical records, and military displays are exhibited here.

Known locally simply as “The Center,” the organization promotes performing and visual arts from Broadway shows to art shows. Drama, art, and art programs contribute to the Center’s goal of bringing the performing and visual arts to anyone of any age and background in Osceola County. Each new season provides a selection of musicals, classic Broadway favorites, concerts, and lectures; and throughout the year, monthly art shows in the gallery feature local artists, local student artists, as well as visiting artists.

Education is a high priority and classes in art, drama, photography, dance, and pottery round out The Center’s comprehensive offerings. Classes are also available for children, and each summer welcomes the Summer Arts Camp, two-week sessions for students seven to 15.

Other highly anticipated festivals include the December Holiday Crafts Show on the streets of downtown St. Cloud, and the Rotary’s Spring Fling, each April on East Lake Toho.

The Main Street Program contributes the annual Gospel Sing in February, Smoke ‘N Blues BBQ competition in May, and Friday Night Live street parties held monthly throughout the year. Several thousand trick-or-treaters make the rounds of the Downtown businesses on Halloween and enjoy costume contests and events in a family-friendly setting produced by the Downtown Business Group. A unique event held each April is Harmony’s Dark Sky viewing of the heavens. All of these events combine to provide a strong hometown core of quality activities appealing to many different interests and curiosities. (See page 36 for a complete listing of events.)

Out & About

The unique beauty of the area, the untold opportunities for recreation, and a climate that permits you to enjoy such activities year-round, are some of the reasons why early St. Cloud settlers came to the area.

These same attributes still attract new residents here today.

The focus of outdoor enjoyment, from the early years until today, has always been the lake – East Lake Tohokapeliga, or East Lake for short.

The City-built and maintained Lakefront Park is a magnet for activities, whether boating, fishing, walking, biking, or enjoying the beach. The City has created a wonderful recreational oasis at the lakefront and also provides other parks for swimming, sports, hiking, biking, BMX, and other activities.

Of course, St. Cloud also has the unique pleasure of being located just 45 minutes from the world’s number one vacation destination … Walt Disney World® Resort and the other famous theme parks, Universal Studios® Orlando, Islands of Adventure®, and SeaWorld® Orlando. For beach lovers, the Atlantic Ocean is just an hour away; and the Gulf Coast beaches are under a two-hour drive.

St. Cloud Regional Medical Center, the heart of the medical community since 1964.

Medical Facilities The same small-town, we-can-do-it spirit that initially gave life to the fledgling town of St. Cloud, also breathed life into a health-care facility for the community. It was a grassroots effort that brought the original St. Cloud Hospital to reality, but it was not an easy endeavor. Ground was broken in October 1957, but funding ran short. The building was finally completed in 1962 but it would take two more years for the city’s group of volunteers to negotiate with the Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine to operate the hospital and administer it through the Sisters of the Order of St. Joseph. Finally, on Thursday, March 19, 1964, at 2:30 in the afternoon, St. Cloud Hospital held its dedication and was officially opened with 25 beds.

State-of-the-art Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Center.

Today the St. Cloud Regional Medical Center is part of Health Management Associates, Inc., and since February 2006 the facility has embarked on over $13 million of capital improvements including two brand new smart Operating Room suites, exhaustive renovations, and the upgrade/replacement of key patient care equipment. This state-ofthe-art facility is truly the heart of the medical community.

Complementing the excellent hospital facility are out-patient clinics and dozens of doctors with either full-time or satellite offices here. There are state-of-the art gyms for residents to keep in shape; and when the time comes that individuals cannot continue to live on their own, there are numerous assisted-living facilities or full-service care homes. The medical community is strong and caring and provides its own considerable contribution to that small-town atmosphere that makes St. Cloud so unique. >>>> (Photos courtesy of St. Cloud Regional Medical Center)

The St. Cloud Senior Center, a wonderful facility the City of St. Cloud provides for its senior residents, follows a nearly 100-yearold volunteer tradition of “Seniors doing for Seniors.” Beginning in 1911 with the Ohio Association and growing to the currentday St. Cloud Senior Citizens Center, Inc., the City and the Seniors have worked together to provide activities and facilities to house them. This facility doubles as a special-needs facility during emergency situations.

The St. Cloud Senior Center on 17th Street also serves as a special-needs facility during emergency situations. Many clubs promote hobbies, games, competition, and just fun. (Photos courtesy of St. Cloud Senior Center)

Narcoossee Narcoossee is an unincorporated community, mostly residential, immediately east of St. Cloud and running north along Narcoossee Road (Florida Highway 15) which connects with “Medical City” at Lake Nona and the Orlando International Airport. Narcoossee Road is currently being widened to four lanes to the neighboring Orange County line. This highway will provide easy access to “Medical City” and is viewed as an economic stimulus for St. Cloud, linking the medical development with St. Cloud’s

abundant, affordable housing, including a plentiful supply of one- to five-acre home sites. The history of the area has English roots. Two Englishmen, Lieutenant Colonel W. E. Cadman and E. Nelson Fell, bought a large amount of land from the one-time U.S. sugar magnate and America’s largest individual landowner, Hamilton Disston. They attracted a number of Englishmen to settle there. The Cadmans built the first packing house in the United States in 1882, which is still standing.

Holopaw This small unincorporated community approximately 16 miles east of St. Cloud at the intersection of Florida Highways 192 & 441 maintains its more rural Florida character. There are substantial cattle ranching, timber and citrus operations in the area around Holopaw. The community derives its name from the Indian term for “place where something is hauled.”

Kenansville This, too, is an unincorporated community with a small population 32 miles due south of St. Cloud.

Once a thriving cattle area, the little community benefited from railroad baron Henry Flagler’s railroad which ran right through town. The tracks and depot are gone now and so is the economic activity that revolved around cattle. The town’s name came from Henry Flagler’s third wife, Mary Lily Kenan. Kenansville is the site of regular trail rides that launch from or end up at Kenansville’s large covered cattle arena. A notable resident is Tater Porter, once reigning U.S. Champion professional PBR bull rider. The town’s top attraction is the Heartbreak Hotel. Legend has it that this is the hotel that inspired a young Elvis Presley to write his hit song “Heartbreak Hotel.”

The Heartbreak Hotel is a noted landmark in Kenansville.

Harmony In stark contrast to the preceding three communities, Harmony came into being in 2003. It is a planned community awarded a Merit Award, ranking Harmony among central Florida’s best communities. It earned a “Green Community” designation, the very first in Central Florida and one of only a very few throughout Florida. This planned community already has a very successful high school and K-8 school within the community. The golf

course, open for public play, was designed by golf pro and golf designer Johnny Miller to take advantage of and retain the natural habitat. Two lakes are pristine pure spring fed, with no gasoline engines allowed. Much of the surrounding acreage is retained as Florida natural. The annual “Dark Sky” event is gaining fame as a night viewing of the constellations, with speakers, activities, and high powered telescopes to view the stars.

City of St. Cloud

St. Cloud is a desirable place for many people to call home. The city of St. Cloud is a charming community conveniently located in the midst of beautiful Central Florida. Its close proximity to world-renowned attractions is a great asset. With the advantages of a warm climate and a small-town atmosphere, the city provides a family-focused and friendly environment for all residents and visitors.

St. Cloud first became known as a “Soldier City” when the turn of the century brought numerous veterans to the area drawn by Central Florida’s climate and natural beauty. Patriotic pride is a strong force in St. Cloud, a fact witnessed in several patriotic events and ceremonies celebrated throughout the year, including last year’s centennial celebrations.

St. Cloud offers parks and athletic facilities throughout neighborhoods and subdivisions. The award-winning Lakefront Park located on East Lake Tohopekaliga is a source of great pleasure for all. In addition to providing a scenic walking trail; swimming access; and a splash pad, the lakefront also provides boat slips and access to a thoroughly modern banquet hall. This lakefront oasis provides recreational opportunities and sense of serenity for many who utilize the facility throughout the year.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS – IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS CALL 9-1-1 Use 9-1-1 for emergencies only. If you have a non-emergency situation, dial (407) 891-6700. If you are in doubt as to whether or not a situation is an emergency, dial 9-1-1 and explain. Never call 9-1-1 and just hang up. If you dial 9-1-1 accidentally, stay on the line and explain the error to the Communications Operator. Policy on “hang-up” calls is to call back and attempt to verify if an emergency exists and to send an officer to the indicated address. This is to ensure that a person who is incapacitated will receive help without having to talk on the phone. Many times, “hang up” calls are false and tie up police officers when they could assist others with true needs.

3 Know where you are and be able to provide the information to the operator immediately.

3 Remain calm and respond to all questions asked by the communications operator.

The questions they ask are necessary to help them serve you promptly and safely.

3 Make sure an exterior light is on so responders can easily locate you.

3 Put away any family pets so they do not pose a threat or danger to Fire Rescue personnel.

3 If the patient takes medications, have them ready for responders when they get there to help them evaluate the patient.

3 If you have someone else there with you, have them meet the Fire Rescue personnel outside.

Public Services The City of St. Cloud has recently consolidated the Environmental Utilities Department and the Public Works Department under the management of Public Services.

The consolidation of these operations will further improve the City’s efficiency and enhance cost savings.

Environmental Utilities This department provides potable water, reclaimed water, and sanitary sewer collection and treatment services to the city of St. Cloud and surrounding areas that fall within the city’s utility service area. The City has four water plants and serves approximately 17,711 potable water connections.

Recent Projects Southside Waste Water Treatment Facility (SSWWTF) In an effort to consolidate operations and beautify the lakefront area, the City recently completed expanding the Southside Waste Water Treatment Facility to 6 millions of gallons per day (MGD), which facilitated decommissioning of the Lakeshore Waste Water Treatment Facility treatment operations. City residents will see physical demolition activities initiated at the Lakeshore Wastewater Treatment Facility in 2010. The new SSWWTF is designed to expand to 9 MGD to accommodate future growth needs.

To maximize the availability of reclaimed water, the City constructed the SSWWTF Reclaimed Water Pump Station (RWPS) in 2006. Combined with more than 90 million gallons of storage and future plans for a surface water reclaimed augmentation facility, the goal of this station is to maximize the number of customers that can be connected to public access reclaim and provide disposal for SSWWTF. Maximizing use of an alternative irrigation system, such as the City’s reclaimed water system, is a large component of efforts designed to minimize demand on our potable water source, the Floridan Aquifer.

Northeast Water Repump Station On April 28, 2009, the Northeast Booster Station, also known as the Northeast Water Repump Station, was activated.

This Booster Station is located on the south side of Rummel Road, approximately 0.5 miles west of Narcoossee Road. The addition of this station increases the storage volume and pumping capacity of the overall potable water system 76

specifically in the northeast portion of the City’s potable water service area. It includes new finished water storage and high service pumping facilities, as well as new chemical storage and feed equipment. This project includes a peak hour pumping capacity that will meet projected 2015 demands and is upgradeable to meet 2030 potable water demands.

H. Clay “Junk” Whaley Sr. Memorial Water Plant The fourth water plant, the H. Clay “Junk” Whaley Sr. Memorial Water Plant, named for the family who donated the land for the water plant and well field, opened in 2008 on Kissimmee Park Road, west of the Florida Turnpike. This facility can produce up to 9 (MGD), is expandable to 12 MGD, and utilizes a Magnetic Ion Exchange Resin (MIEX®) process.

This plant is the largest of its type in the United States.
