CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING -NOVEMBER 13, 2007 PAGE 3 OF 23 With further discussion, Manager McLemore noted, "If you go and look at the -award criteria, you almost have to do that if you indeed, you get put in a position where you have got to say `Yes' to some people and `No' to others. You start wanting to know who is really going to spend these dollars the best, based on their history. So, we want to try to give you a data base upon which to make those kinds of decisions. That's all we're trying to do, not really go out and audit them, but you can certainly do that." Discussion followed on dates of applicability; getting the word out, and supporting area organizations and those in Winter Springs. Mayor Bush said, "These groups will know about these dates; they will get their applications in." Manager McLemore suggested, "We would advise those that we have funded in prior years -that if you want to be refunded, you need to do it on this day -and then the word will get out."

Deputy Mayor McGinnis added, "Good." Mayor Bush said, "Okay." Deputy Mayor McGinnis noted, "There are guidelines that you can ask for that would answer the question -your concerns. Annual reports for example. What percent of their budget is used for fundraising and for services?" Mayor Bush added, "Administration costs." Deputy Mayor McGinnis then mentioned, "Other funding sources. Are they a United Way agency, for example? So, when Staff looks at the number 2. item you refer to, those are the kinds of things that I hope they examine carefully." Attorney Garganese stated, "In order to be in compliance with the Florida Constitution, two (2) things would need to be added to this with respect to eligibility requirements. The services provided must serve a municipal purpose, number one (1); and two (2), the Applicants that are awarded funding must execute a Municipal Services Agreement which will have a lot of safeguards. For example, the City will have the unconditional right to audit any of the expenditures or the funds and that will be -imposed by Agreement, in order to ensure that the funds are expended for municipal purposes, and that should be added to the guidelines." Commissioner Brown commented on how Staff would process rankings and research data. Manager McLemore explained, "What we would do is bring you the information and I don't know that I want to rank them. I would rather just give you more of the information and let you decide what you want to do."

Commissioner Brown suggested that there not bean "Open enrollment period" but instead, "I would rather see it structured in a way that we have a criteria that we follow, but it is on a case-by-case basis." Manager McLemore noted, "If I understand, you don't really want it to be part of a Budget cycle. You basically want to put some money aside every year and then whoever wants to come in, will come in during that year, whether it' mid-year or three-quarters of the way through the year..." Commissioner Brown added, "...And we evaluate it against the criteria that we will set." Manager McLemore then suggested, "You will just need to decide, this is always the hardest question, how much money are you going to put aside every year." Discussion. Commissioner Robert S. Miller said, "I would much prefer to say that we will listen to people that may have a problem but there is no guarantee that we will do anything. There is no money set aside and let them come and make their plea - if we feel it is a worthy cause on that particular evening and that particular date. If three (3) of us approve it, that is the way it will be." Further discussion.
