Mr. Webster moved that this Ordinance be accepted as a first reading. The motion was seconded by Mr. Jackson and unanimously carried. The Mayor asked if there was any further business. The question of fire protection to residents outside of the territorial or corporate limits cam~up again. Mr. Webster stated that he felt the same way about the motion he had made at the previous Council meeting on January 3, 1961, namely, that the fire department ..... should only answer calls within the Village limits, except for answering neighboring villages' calls for assistance, or those under contract. Council was unanimous in its opinion on this matter and the Mayor directed that a Resolution be prepared. One of the residents inquired if he could pay for fire pro- tection, since he is a resident outside of the corporate limits of the Village, and if so, what the rate would be. The Mayor stated that no rate had been established as of this date. There was some discussion on fire insurance, and the Mayor stated that he did not have a definite rate as yet, however, with the fire department organized as at present, he felt sure that when all of the equipment was obtained, the rates would be lower. ..... There were some inquiries as to Village taxes in the future. The Mayor pointed out that the Village had no tax assessment at pres- ent and did not plan any in the near future; that the Village had ---- some source of income from various occupational license fees and from ..... builders and also from the utilities company, and therefore there was no current need for taxation of real property. The question of widening and repairing of the Longwood- Oviedo Road was brought up. Mayor Fasula stated that he had noth- ing definite yet as to when the work would begin, but he hoped to get some information when he attended the Seminole County Road Board meeting this week. Inquiry was also made about the 7-Eleven store and other stores in the shopping area. The Mayor stated that Colonel Sommers who represents the 7-Eleven Food Stores, would be in North Orlando this week to sign the lease, and that as soon as this lease was completed that other leases would be made for the balance of the ~ stores in the shopping area and then building would commence. The Mayor called for a report from the Fire Department. Mr. Stevenson stated that ten men had completed their fire train- ing and received their certificates, and that the department had answered its first call. He stated that he would like to have some more volunteers for the fire department. The Mayor asked for a report from the newly organized police department. All members were present and after introducing them- selves, Mr. Bill Parker stated that as spokesman for the group, that he was asking for cooperation from the residents in obeying the traffic laws, especially in connection with speed limits and stop signs. The Mayor stated that this department is not recetving ..... any compensation from the Village, being an independent organiza- tion, and being maintained by voluntary monthly payments by the Village residents. In return, police protection is being maintained - - on a 24 hour basis. - Many questions were again brought up in connection with the Charter, and it was suggested by Mr. Dean that a question- naire be sent to the residents to find out what people wanted to know about the Charter, and then make a definite date with Mr. Mack Cleveland to come to North Orlando and answer these ques- tions. The Mayor stated that he would arrange for these ques- tionnaires to be sent around, and then if people wished, to arrange for rental of a hall to hold the meeting. The Mayor inquired if there was any further business to come before the meeting. Hearing none, on motion of Mr. Webster, seconded by Mr. Jackson, the meeting was adjourned. .....
