McLemore presented his opening remarks. City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese arrived at 6:34 p.m. With discussion on the suggested options, Mayor Bush asked for the preferences of the City Commission and said, "We have got three (3) recommendations. It is my feeling that the Commission basically wants to consider some combination of '1' and '2' and delete number '3 '?" Mayor Bush said to Commissioner Sally McGinnis, "Do you agree with that?" Commissioner McGinnis responded, "I do." Mayor Bush then said, "Commissioner Gilmore?" Commissioner Donald A. Gilmore replied, "Yes." Mayor Bush added, "I know Commissioner Blake does. So, really '3' is off the table - we're talking about' 1 ' and '2'." Commissioner Michael S. Blake suggested, "IA would be two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) from the Solid Waste Fund; three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) from the General Fund; three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) from the Utility Operating Fund; and one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) from the Medical Transport Services Fund. That is nine hundred fifty thousand dollars ($950,000.00), that funds the clean-up and includes the addition of the Urban Beautification Replacement Fund or Fees of - forty-five thousand [dollars] ($45,000.00) which also, since that is where those activities will be focused, should be part of this as well. This leaves us with a flat Millage increase this year." Ms. Michelle Greco, Director, Finance Department said to Commissioner Blake, "You said nine hundred and fifty [thousand dollars] ($950,000.00), and that would include the nine hundred [thousand dollars] plus the forty-five [thousand dollars] for the Urban [Beautification Department]? What about the interest? We still have to pay - three and a half percent (3.5%) for six (6) months on the 5.8 million dollar loan that we are going to have to get; so you need to think about the eighty-seven thousand dollars ($87,000.00) worth of interest that is not included in this number." Manager McLemore said, "On the 'Interest Payment' line, on that Alternative, we show that as a further reduction of Fund Balance." Manager McLemore added, "If he does that as an amended 'Alternative 1', then that will be inclusive." Commissioner Blake noted, "Those numbers are still in place. I was just looking at going off the top line in terms of my changes to lA; all the other math down below - so that is seventy-five thousand [dollars] ($75,000.00) from the Utility Operating Fund and the twenty-five thousand [dollars] ($25,000.00) from the Transport Fund still exist - would continue to exist in my Motion." Mayor Bush called a Recess at approximately 7:13 p.m. The Meeting reconvened at approximately 7:37 p.m. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - SEPTEMBER 27. 2004 PAGE 3 OF 15 "PURSUANT TO OPTION lA, AS LISTED EARLIER WHICH IS THE CONTRIBUTION OF TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000.00) FROM THE SOLID WASTE FUND; THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($300,000.00) FROM THE GENERAL FUND; THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($300,000.00) FROM THE UTILITY OPERATING FUND; ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000.00) FROM THE MEDICAL TRANSPORT SERVICES FUND IN ORDER TO FUND THE - MULTIPLE-HURRICANE CLEAN-UP EFFORT IN THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($75,000.00) FROM THE UTILITY OPERATING FUND AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000.00) FROM THE - MEDICAL TRANSPORT SERVICES FUND, TO FUND FOR THE INTEREST PAYMENT FOR THE SHORT -TERM LOAN TO COVER THE GAP BETWEEN THE BILLINGS AND THE PAYMENT FROM FEMA [FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY] - THE FEDERAL GIVERNMENT - WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS' CITY COMMISISON ADOPT RESOLUTION NUMBER 2004-45 SETTING THE FINAL OPERATING MILLAGE RATE FOR THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2005 AT 4.3000 MILLS, WHICH IS - 5.4852 PERCENT ABOVE THE ROLLED BACK RATE OF 4.0764."
