No further paperwork is required. Thank you for your service to the Planning and Zoning Board and to the City of Winter Springs. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance. Thankyou, Christian Gowan City Clerk P: (407) 327-6560 F: (407) 327-4753 A:1126 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 ©00 From: James Evans <james@realestatecelt.com> Sent: Monday, November 9, 2020 9:29 AM To: Christian Gowan <cgowan@winterspringsfl.org>; Shawn Boyle <sboyle@winterspringsfl.org>; Charles Lacey <clacey@winterspringsfl.org> Subject: Resignation from Planning and Zoning EXTERNAL EMAIL: [Caution: Do not click on links or open any attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.] Hello Christian, Shawn, Mayor: It's with a heavy heart that I must submit my resignation from the City's Planning and Zoning Committee. While the election loss certainly stung, the outcome of the election had no impact on this decision. The impetus is that I am not proud to serve our city anymore. Make no mistake, this is in no way anything an employee of our city did or did not do. This is an issue of our city officials. My opponent, and candidate elect, ran a scorched Earth smear campaign. He accused me of accepting bribes and throwing votes, he accused me of putting personal financial gain over the welfare of the city, he attacked my livelihood and ethics for three months, and he knocked on every door in the city slandering my name. Worse, we have two sitting commissioners (one of whom donated money to the cause) endorsing about:blank 1/2 2/9/24, 4:08 PM RE: Resignation from Planning and Zoning - Christian Gowan - Outlook and supporting these actions. As if somehow the end justifies the means. Worth noting, that for all of the slander, never once was any evidence provided. Simply because no evidence exists. I have never committed such unethical acts. Frankly, given those actions and the damage they cared not about leaving in their wake, I must resign. Volunteers serve on a whim because of the joy it brings. There is no joy for me to serve under leadership willing to stoop to such a depth. I wish you all the best! And for all that, I wish our new commission to have wisdom and foresight and I hope they succeed in caring for our city. At the end of the day, I am still a resident within Winter Springs and it is my hometown. If there is any paperwork that must be done, please let me know.
