Deputy Mayor Cindy Gennell advised the Commission that "The VFW inquired a couple of weeks ago if the City was going to do anything and if the City wasn't, then they would like to - Mr. [Ronald W.] McLemore [City Manager] said we didn't have anything planned, so they have gone ahead with an 8:00 a.m. Ceremony at the VFW." Mayor Partyka suggested, "Maybe we could even get them involved here, because we could tie in a lot of other people - if that works out pretty easily. Is the Commission in favor of doing this?" Commissioner Edward Martinez, Jr. stated, "I second." Mayor Partyka then said, "All right. The Commission agrees, okay, thank you. We will get it all squared away, I will talk with Andrea [Lorenzo-Luaces, City Clerk] and with the City Manager, and with the VFW.

CITY OF WINTER SPRlNGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26, 2002 PAGE 3 OF 41 Deputy Mayor Gennell asked Mr. Bogumil, "Have you discussed this with the City Manager at all or with any of the Staff?" Mr. Bogumil said, "We had discussed this last year and our recommendation was that we pursue it with you folks." Deputy Mayor Gennell said, "Staff recommended that you handle it directly with us?" Mr. Bogumil said, "Yes, that's the idea. That's why I am here." Deputy Mayor Gennell then said, "I would prefer to see this handled through the City Manager's Office and then come to us." Manager McLemore stated, "There is nowhere for me to go on this one. You passed this policy. If you want to change your policy, that's fine. It's part of an Ordinance." Deputy Mayor Gennell then said, "That is fine if you don't have anywhere to go on it. It is just that generally when these kind of issues come up I would like to make sure they have gone through Staff and through your office before we try to micro-manage the situation. " Discussion. Mayor Partyka stated, "City Manager, any other final options at all that this person could pursue or is it done at this point in time?" Manager McLemore said, "I don't see how if you are going to maintain your Ordinance." Manager McLemore stated further, "The only option I could see - was if you wanted to extend the time limit again." Mayor Partyka suggested to Mr. Bogumil, "The current extension goes to November, so your best bet then is to see if you could make a case for an extension of that, and that would be your only case at this point in time - and that would have to be done by this entire Commission, so - you might want to do a letter writing campaign or something along those lines." Ms. Trish Drehert, 500 Hayes Road, Winter Springs, Florida: stated her concerns with the City of Casselberry allowing only a ten foot (10') buffer between a proposed Church and the Ranchlands; and requested representation from the City Commission at the next City of Casselberry's Planning and Zoning Board Meeting on Wednesday, August 28t\ 2002 at 6:30 p.m. Commissioner Martinez stated, "I suggested to her [Ms. Drebert] that she bring it up and let the City Manager maybe assign someone from Planning and Zoning to go and attend the Meeting and find out what is really happening there and come back and inform us so we can be better prepared to handle the issue if we need to." Commissioner Robert S. Miller agreed and said, "I think we need to send somebody from Staff over there, maybe even the City Manager and give us some kind of an idea at the next Commission Meeting that we have, as to what they are planning to do over there, especially if it is going to have an impact on the quality oflife in the Ranchlands." Deputy Mayor Gennell advised Ms. Drebert that she would try to speak to the City of Casselberry representative who attends the next Council of Local Governments in Seminole County (CALNO) Meeting, and "Encourage them to listen to you all". CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26, 2002 PAGE 4 OF 41 With further discussion, Commissioner Miller said that he would attend the next Casselberry meeting on Wednesday night and "Then I will talk to as many of the Commissioners that I can get a hold of at Casselberry, and I will give you a presentation - on what is going on." Deputy Mayor Gennell added, "We have gone out of our way and I will raise this issue with Casselberry when I have my meeting." Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Gennell said, "I would think at the very least we can ask them to keep us updated with their public meetings on this so that at least by virtue of the paperwork and the plans that we are at least kept on board for the sake of the residents of our City." Manager McLemore stated, "I was going to suggest that you give me that direction - to send them a letter about the concerns of people not being heard, and that we be kept abreast of all these various meetings related to this matter." Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "That's my Motion." Mayor Partyka stated, "I think this Commission by consensus can do that. Any problems with this, Commission?" Commissioner Martinez stated, "No." Mayor Partyka stated, "Okay, you have got it - and then Commission Miller will be there also." Mr. Gene Lein, 1173 Winged Foot Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: suggested to the Commission that some residents within Country Club Village believe that their own Association's budget could pay for the Streetlighting Assessment and added, "We would like to find out what direction we should take for the City to repeal this Ordinance". With discussion, Mayor Partyka stated, "The City Manager will give direction - with the help ofthe City Attorney and they will come up with a short letter that you can use." In other business, Mayor Partyka said to the City Commission, "With all of the delays that we have had in the past in terms of trying to finish the Agenda, we need to take some real practical steps here amongst ourselves. Number one is I would be willing to start setting or remind the Commission that as we get into an Item - call it fifteen (15) minutes, and then at the thirty (30) minutes mark - a reminder we need to close the discussion - that is one thing we could do. Another thing that we can do is set some limits on any kind of discussion that we are going to have and just say no more than fifteen (15) or twenty (20) minutes; and the third thing that we ought to consider doing truly, if we don't get through these Agendas, I truly believe we need to finish up these Meetings right away and maybe we have automatically a Meeting the very next day which would be tomorrow evening." Mayor Partyka then stated, "I will try to move this on, and remind the - people as we get to some of these Agenda Items, and if you come up with any other better ways of doing this, I will take that into account." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26, 2002 PAGE 5 OF 41 III. REGULAR - PART I (CONTINUED FROM THE JULY 22, 2002 REGULAR MEETING) REGULAR I. Finance Department Requesting The City Commission Grant The City Manager Approval To Enter Into An Agreement With MBIA MuniServices Company (MMC) For Revenue Enhancement Services Pertaining To The City's Property Tax Revenue. Ms. Louise Frangoul, Finance Department Director presented information pertaining to this Agenda Item. Discussion. In regards to the inventory of parcels within the City, Deputy Mayor Gennell asked, "Does that become our property then, that inventory?" Ms. Frangoul said, "I don't know." Deputy Mayor Gennell asked Attorney Garganese, "Anthony, shouldn't that become ours, if they are going to establish that inventory and the work they are doing for us?" Attorney Garganese stated, "It would all depend on what the Agreement says and I can't recall what it says on that point. Let me see if I can find some language." Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "Well, before I vote on this I would like to know if that becomes our property when they are done. And the last thing - I had a question about - the time frame for completing this is 90 - 180 working days? So, can we put on our list of things here, 180 days out we can expect the results from this?" Ms. Frangoul said, "Yes." Mayor Partyka asked Attorney Garganese, "Do you have an answer to that question on the Contracts?" Attorney Garganese said, "MMC's Drafts, Notes, and Internal Memorandum shall become the property of the City upon termination of the Agreement, provided we pay of course." Tape I/Side B Commissioner Martinez suggested, "I would ask you to tell these people to use some caution - exercise some discretion when they are doing this here so we don't have a lot of problems out there." Ms. Frangoul stated, "Okay." Commissioner Blake then inquired, "Are they going to be looking at valuations or only physical features or classifications?" Ms. Frangoul stated, "I did not understand it to be valuations. I understood it to be parcels that should be in our City that are currently classified outside of the City and more importantly the Homestead Exemptions. That is where they seem to think the money is derived - individuals improperly claming a Homestead Exemption because this is not their primary property." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26, 2002 PAGE60F4I Commissioner Blake added, "What if somebody has a pool and it doesn't say there is a pool." Ms. Frangoul said, "There was no discussion about that so I didn't think it had anything to do with valuations. I don't think it did. There was no discussion in all the Agreements or our meeting with them regarding the valuation." Commissioner Blake then said, "I think some of these items are pretty important. I think the item most important is, are they going to look at my house and look at your house and look at the relative valuations and adjust one of them?" Ms. Frangoul said, "I don't believe so." Manager McLemore said, "They are not going to try to do appraisals." Commissioner Blake stated, "You will spend a lot more money than you will make going down that road and I just want to be sure that that is not what we are trying to do." Ms. Frangoul said, "There was no discussion about valuations. I understood it to be properties that were improperly classified as another jurisdiction and Homestead Exemptions." "I MAKE A MOTION TO DIRECT THE MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH MBIA, FOR THE SERVICES LISTED IN ITEM 'I.'" MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BLAKE. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER MILLER. DISCUSSION.

They are far too detailed and complex to go through that easy." Mayor Partyka stated, "Commissioner Gennell has taken 'D' off the Consent Agenda."

AGENDA NOTE: THE FOLLOWING TWO INFORMATIONAL - PART I AGENDA ITEMS WERE DISCUSSED TOGETHER AND THEN VOTED ON, AS NOTED. .:..:. v. INFORMATIONAL - PART I (CONTINUED FROM THE AUGUST 12, 2002 REGULAR MEETING) INFORMATIONAL D. Parks And Recreation Department Notifying The City Commission That Staff Is Applying For A Florida Recreational Development Assistance Program Grant For The Central Winds Park Improvements. INFORMATIONAL E. Parks And Recreation Department Notifying The City Commission That Staff Is Applying For Recreational Development Assistance Program Grant For The Central Winds Park Expansion. Commissioner McLeod asked, "We have a list here of what they are asking for and my question is, have we all agreed that this is exactly what is going in that park now? Soccer practice fields, Football practice, Baseball practice; 2, 2, 2, and 2, and the park entry road, the landscaping, signage, and lighting?" Manager McLemore said, "You have accepted a Conceptual Plan. We do not have detailed engineering drawings at this point in time and they are in the process of being developed." Commissioner McLeod then said, "But I think there were a lot of questions of that Conceptual Plan. Now my question is once we sign off on this and the Grant is going forward, and it comes back to us and we find out that some of the other elements should have been in there - I don't know if we totally signed off on that thing Ron [McLemore]. I don't remember totally signing off on it." Manager McLemore said, "I think the issue with these was they were time sensitive as far as getting them in." Commissioner McLeod said, "I understand that but everything becomes time sensitive up here. What I am afraid of is signing off on this thing and it becomes - 'Fellows, I am sorry but that is the way it is going to be. We can't do anything else. We put in for the Grant, that is what the money is there for, and that is all we can do' - I would really like to see the Agenda Item come back to us when we have signed off on the Conceptual because there were a lot of questions if I remember right on CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26,2002 PAGE 12 OF 41 the Conceptual, with the entrance the way it was coming in; the amount of money it was costing; the drive around it. There were a lot of things that were still up in the air if I remember right, and it was coming back to us. Can you tell me that if we sign off on this, and it goes up for the Grant and the Grant money is awarded, that we will be able to change anything?" Manager McLemore said, "In my opinion based on what I know, you have a fair amount of flexibility, but you also have a fair amount of time before this is going to come back to us; so we can bring the Plan back to you at the next Meeting and still go ahead and submit this and let it be processing through." Mayor Partyka said, "It says here September 13 th is the close of the submission period. So if we have our Meeting in September, does that make it?" Manager McLemore said, "It doesn't make any difference. You have got weeks after that, after it's submitted, to amend that Grant; so we can just bring the Plan back to you at the next Meeting and let you look at it and see ifthere is anything you want to change." Commissioner McLeod added, "I think the same thing holds true somewhat of'D' and 'E' both here. I think my problem here would be Ron [McLemore], that I would be willing to approve it under the condition that this thing is brought back to us within thirty (30) days, this Conceptual - and we get this Park over here in front of us, and we get it resolved rather than it becoming an issue that - 'I am sorry Commissioners, we got the Grant, the Grant did go through, the only way we're getting the money is if we do it this way. You guys all approved this and this is how we moved forward, because I don't feel that I have approved that Park yet myself.'" Manager McLemore said, "We'll bring it back to you at the next Meeting with the Minutes of what has happened to date." Commissioner McLeod added, "I think we need to approve it on a separate basis, both of them." Manager McLemore stated, "Just approve it as a separate item." Mayor Partyka said, "Okay, we can do that." Discussion. "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION REGARDING 'D' AND 'E,' THAT WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE GRANTS; HOWEVER THE CITY MANAGER WILL BRING BACK TO US WITHIN THE NEXT THIRTY (30) DAYS, THE INFORMATION REGARDING WHERE WE ARE TODAY ON THE FINALIZATION OF WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH THESE PARKS."

Commissioner Blake said, "We have made some, I believe, Contractual Agreements with other parties on a time frame as to when the roads are going to be available, and I am a little concerned as to whether or not we have some liability there at this point in time." Commissioner Blake stated further, "I do recall making an Agreement that these roads would be up and operating at a certain point in time." Commissioner Martinez said, "Doran keeps talking about the fact that there was a contract date and that apparently isn't going to be met and there are going to be losses incurred. When you start talking about losses, it sort of infers that you may be looking to come back at us to make up those losses. I don't know if that is the case and this is why I am bringing it up, to find out what is going on." Manager McLemore spoke of weather and other conditions and said, "You look at it in totality and my intent is to deliver the roads in time for them to open and move it along as fast as we can considering weather and other conditions - we are on the Contractor almost daily." Commissioner Martinez asked Attorney Garganese, "Are we on safe ground?" Attorney Garganese responded, "I don't know what the status is on the Road Project so I can't answer that question." Commissioner Martinez asked, "Could you find out and let us know?" Attorney Garganese said, "I will look into it and get with Kip [Lockcuff, Public Works/Utility Department Director]."

Office Of The City Attorney Requesting The City Commission Consider An Ordinance To Amend Section 2-87. Of The City Code Relating To The Candidate Qualification Period. Attorney Garganese introduced the proposed Ordinance 2002-25 and related Agenda Item and explained, "The issue was presented to me by the City Clerk regarding the Qualifying period, because as the Code is currently written - the end of Qualifying can occur on a weekend, and the Code is currently not clear what happens when that occurs - does the City Clerk have to be open for Qualifying on the weekend; or can we just cut off Qualifying on the Friday before, or do we have to open up the day after the end of the weekend on a Monday? So the purpose of this Ordinance was to clarify the Qualifying period." With further discussion, Attorney Garganese stated, "My recommendation to the Clerk is since Qualifying ends on a Sunday, our recommendation is to be open on a Sunday to accept any late filings as the Code currently reads." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26, 2002 PAGE 17 OF 41 Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "Historically, we already have a precedent for the way we have done it, it has been Monday through Friday. Now if we want to entertain changing it, I suggest we wait until another Meeting or two (2) - because the sense of urgency to do it - we passed that when we skipped over this other Meeting. There is no time to accomplish this right now; there is not enough time for the two (2) Readings that it would take. The letter from Sandra Goard has to do with her preparation of absentee ballots to go overseas and we don't have time to accomplish it for that either, but we would be able to address this after the Qualifying Period." Further, Deputy Mayor Gennell pointed out that "We are not the only City that is going to have a problem; all the other cities have a time frame that - goes beyond September the 11 th which is when Sandy Goard needs the information in her office, so all of the cities are going to have to change their Qualifying periods to correspond with Sandra Goard's requirement. My suggestion is to move this Agenda Item on to a period in late September."

Commissioner Blake asked, "Could somebody please clarify whether or not City Hall will be open on September 15th until five o'clock to receive paperwork for running for Election?" Mayor Partyka said, "City Attorney is recommending that it stay open. Is that right City Attorney?" Attorney Garganese said, "Yes, just on the Sunday, which is the last day of Qualifying." Deputy Mayor Gennell said, "Under what you approved, under the Informational Agenda, the last day City Hall is open during this Qualifying Period would be September 13th. That is the way we have done it historically in the City." Attorney Garganese stated, "The way I read the Informational Agenda Item is that language is just tentative until such time as the Commission considered this Ordinance. My recommendation is my recommendation. Whatever the Commission wants to do is fine but because the last day does fall on a Sunday, someone may hold back until the last day and show up because our Code specifically says the 1st through the 15th. They may show up on the 15th thinking they had that time and realized you cut Qualifying off two CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26,2002 PAGE 18 OF 41 (2) days before. So in an abundance of caution, my recommendation is that you be open on the last day, not necessarily the Saturday, but be open on that last day." Tape 2/Side A Discussion. Commissioner Blake suggested, "I think we do need to alter our Ordinance and make it more clear, and I think Casselberry's language - where they discuss the first full week within September, Monday through Friday which doesn't mess with the dates, but a well defined day."

Office Of The City Manager Requesting Commission Direction Relative To The Use Of The Senior Citizen Center For Political Activities. Manager McLemore introduced this Agenda Item and stated, "My feeling was that you review this issue, if you want to make any changes and direct us to review this - it is a CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26, 2002 PAGE 23 OF 41 good time for us to look at them and see if we want to make any rules, changes - other set of rules, give some direction, and that we bring back finally a set of rules for you for adoption by Resolution." Discussion ensued on recent political events held at the Senior Citizens Center; whether fees should be charged; and whether the Civic Center and/or the Senior Citizens Center should be available for political events. Commissioner Martinez spoke for the record about an event held on August 1 st and related rules and regulations. Commissioner Blake stated, "This situation here, I absolutely think that this group should have to pay to rent the facility. It does not qualify under what really doesn't appear to be a rule at all but just something that was written on a study some fifteen (15) years or so ago, ten (10) years ago, by an employee who is long gone. So I think we probably need to review these things." Tape 2/Side 8 Commissioner McLeod stated, "I do believe there should have been a fee charged. I do believe probably a different method should have been gone about to secure the premises for whatever that is." Commissioner McLeod suggested that "The Manager come forth with a Resolution that gives us guidance as to how that Center will be used." Commissioner McLeod stated further, "I think Mr. McLemore, you just need to bring this thing back to us with the procedure that needs to be put in place - how this thing is going to be operated, and the fee structure of how it is going to be fee'd, and make it a Resolution and we no longer have a problem." Deputy Mayor Gennell inquired about proof of insurance and asked if "The Ordinance that we are in the process of passing right now about soliciting, the luncheons that Commissioner Blake mentioned and which I have raised here in the past myself, every one of those presentations is solicitation. Are those people going to the Senior Center with a captive audience at large, going to be subject to our Solicitation Ordinance? You can just think about it and bring it back to us Anthony [Garganese]." Commissioner Martinez spoke for the record about a previous political event and added, "The record will show that these rules do exist and they are in place to protect not only the City but the Senior Citizens Center." Commissioner Martinez added, "There was a clear violation here, an abuse of power and I am asking the Commission to make sure that this does not occur again." Commissioner Miller said, "If the City Manager will bring this Item back to us with some clear guidance as to what the future rules and regulations governing the use of that facility would be - I think that will probably put this issue to rest." Discussion. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26, 2002 PAGE 24 OF 41 "I WOULD LIKE TO DIRECT THE STAFF TO REVIEW THE RULES AND RETURN THE RULES WITH ANY RECOMMENDATION, CHANGES, TO THE COMMISSION FOR THE ADOPTION BY RESOLUTION; AND ALSO TO TAKE A LOOK AT ANY FEE STRUCTURES - AND ALSO DEFINITELY LOOK AT THIS THING FROM THE UTILIZATION OF POLITICAL ACTIVITES; AND IN DOING THAT I WOULD PLEASE ADVISE YOU TO CHECK WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES TO SEE WHAT IS DONE IN THEIR SENIOR CENTERS."

Deputy Mayor Gennell then stated, "The [State Road] 434 Improvements Project, there is just no additional information - can't we have a status here?" Manager McLemore remarked that, "Typically if there has been no progress made since the prior report we don't repeat it." Deputy Mayor Gennell then said, "But a lot of these are duplicated from the previous one; and this particular one here appears to be duplicated with - no additional information. And I just think at least, if this is to be a - status of the current planning projects, I would like to see 'The status,' whatever the last status was." Manager McLemore said, "Okay." With discussion, Commissioner Blake suggested, "If perhaps they just put the date on each one of these, when they last altered what is on here, then we would know if we are looking at something that is three (3) months old or three (3) days old." Deputy Mayor Gennell again referred to Avery Park and spoke of the "Cantilevering a wall over the airspace above the common upland area of a stormwater pond - is that going to come in front of us before they are allowed to do that?"

Commissioner McLeod stated, "If we have significant information that shows - several times this has gone on through the years - Mr. Grimes could write that, you can also support it and it would carry an awful lot of weight by you supporting it, going to Tallahassee." Furthermore, Commissioner McLeod pointed out, "He is a licensed Contractor by the State of Florida, and you as a Building Official can definitely go after his license - and so can you sir [Mr. Grimes], and I would highly recommend you do that." Mr. Grimes explained that, "With Mr. Franklin's assistance, we did write and fill out a large form and sent it off to Tallahassee but we have not gotten a response back." In regards to the Contractor, Commissioner Martinez asked Mr. Franklin, "Don't you have grounds to stop him from performing within the City of Winter Springs?" Mr. Franklin said, "I believe the Statute gives the authority to the Building Official to suspend his permitting privileges in the City until he clears up all his violations." Commissioner Martinez added, "That would be you. Thank you very much. I await your response." Mr. Franklin stated, "I would probably like a little bit of guidance from the City Attorney on that; but I believe that's a fact, we can work on that I guess."

Attorney Garganese suggested, "I think that the Commission should amend the Code to permit screened enclosures within - the rear setback regardless of whether you have a pool or not." Commissioner Blake stated, "So, it would just amend the definition of screen enclosure in Section 6-211.?" Attorney Garganese stated, "Unfortunately, that Section is just pertaining to - it is the Pool Code..." Manager McLemore suggested, ".. . You need to direct Staff to bring it back..."

We have got to add them, so by doing this, we think we can make everything work out and take care of everyone's needs and still bring the Parker property up by August 1 S\ and keep our fields maintained under their current schedule and satisfy everybody's needs and we can do that in your Budget with the addition of one (1) man year, because we would only bring them on for half a year - and then by asking also Little League - we have mentioned that they need to provide some funds or some additional supplies that we need for the Tournament which they have agreed to do. They need to provide some funds for additional traffic management for the Police Department which they have agreed to do, and with this strategy in place, I think we can accommodate everyone's needs." Mayor Partyka stated, "So you are saying we can do this?" Manager McLemore stated, "If you approve us two (2) full-time people, which is already in your Budget request, then we can accommodate everyone's needs, and that means we are going to have to contract some of the work for the Central Winds Park expansion; that we probably would have done with our own Staff, and by doing all of that, we can meet everyone's needs, for one (1) man year of work." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 26, 2002 PAGE 35 OF 41 Discussion ensued on costs, out-sourcing, and Grants. Commissioner Blake stated, "I would like to go forward with it; I would like to do it but I would like to find out what sort of cost sharing arrangement we are going to have with the Little League in terms of offsetting the costs." Commissioner Blake stated further, "I would strongly recommend that we put this on our list of items to consider in two (2) days when we begin talking." Commissioner Martinez stated, "Don't you think it is a wise decision to postpone this here until we deal with the Budget and then make a decision on this Item?" Commissioner Martinez added, "It is possible to go forward, but I think we need to wait until we decide what is going to happen with the Budget." Manager McLemore said, "Well, that would be my recommendation." Deputy Mayor Gennell asked, "What kind of fees do we get from the Little League Tournament itself?" Manager McLemore said, "I really don't know the answer to that." Deputy Mayor Gennell added, "You can get that information in a couple of days when we come back?" Manager McLemore answered, "Sure." With further discussion about City Staff laying sod, Commissioner McLeod said, "I would recommend that you - no matter what you do, you go outside and have that done." "I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE DO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS AS THE CITY MANAGER HAS OUTLINED, AND APPROVE THIS PLAN AT THIS TIME, FOR THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING, SO THAT THE LITTLE LEAGUE ALL STAR TOURNAMENT WILL BE HANDLED HERE IN THE UPCOMING YEAR OF 2003."
