Mayor Fasula called the meeting to order. In attendance were: Mayor Fasula, Councilmen Jackson, Memory, Terebo and Webster. The Village Clerk read the minutes of the previous meeting held March 8, 1961. Mayor Fasula called for any corrections or additions. Councilman Jackson noted that the insurance on which the Village had received bids was for liability and not fire in- surance. Also, that the deeds which had been given for right-of- way for improvement of Longwood-Oviedo Road were given by the North Orlando Company and not by the Village. Hearing no further corrections or additions, the minutes were approved as read. The Mayor called for reports of various committees. Fire Chief Stevenson reported that he had the contracts ready to be sent to residents outside of the Village who desired to have fire protection. The Mayor reported that the Security Patrol was no longer in existence, and that the Village now had its own police depart- ment; that the Village had purchased a police car and hired Mr. Jack Sutton as policeman; that Councilman Memory had also been deputized and that he could be called in the absence of Mr. Sutton, thus giving the residents 24 hour police protection. The Mayor further stated that this set-up was on a trial basis for thirty days, and that it would still be necessary to have contributions from the residents to maintain the police department, and that everybody would be contacted by April 15th regarding this. r r- ,..-. .-.. ~ Councilman Jackson stated that he had set up a separate bank account in the name of the police department to handle all ex- penditures and funds in connection therewith. Mr. Anderson reported on the establishment of the new church. He stated that the attendance had dropped off, but he felt that if the Sunday School could be started that the attend- ance at church would improve, and that he hoped to get the Sunday School started sometime this month. The Mayor stated that there would be a meeting on Tuesday morning, April 11th, at ten o'clock at the County Commissioners Office regarding the application of Wilkins Asphalt Company to establish an asphalt plant near the Village, and that he would like to have as many of the residents as possible attend the meet- ing to protest the granting of this license. The Mayor reported on the other asphalt plant which is in operation just outside of the Village, and stated that it had been established before the zoning laws went into effect, and that since the plant had not moved out subsequently, that there was nothing the Village could do about having this plant removed. Mr. Dean reported that he had contacted the Sanford Gas Company and that they were willing to have four homes make a test of their equipment to prove that their rates were cheaper than the present supplier; that they wanted two homes that used gas for cooking as well as heating, and two that used gas for heating and hot water. He asked for volunteers to tryout this plan who would be willing to put up a $20.00 deposit. Three volunteers were ob- ..--. ,~ - tained at the meeting and Mr. Dean felt sure that he could obtain one more. The Mayor stated he had no further report on the 7-Eleven Store, that the lease had been signed and delivered to Miami for signature, but had not been returned as yet. Inquiry was made as to whether the buildings which were to be used in the recreation area could be removed immediately. The Mayor said he would look into the matter. A discussion was had on the enforcement of the "dog ordinance" and inquiry made as to whether the Village had secured dog license tags. The Mayor stated that the Village did have such tags for sale. Also, that it would not be feasible to pick up stray dogs, r- as there was no place where they could be impounded, and until such time as the dogs would either be claimed or disposed of, the expense would be more than the Village could bear. Mr. Anderson reported on the Property Owners Association, stating that they had had three meetings so far. That they hoped to have election of officers shortly and that they were working on a draft of a charter for the organization. That they had decided to call this organization the North Orlando Civic \ Association. That they hoped to have a Grievance Committee. to bring matters before the Village Council, the Legislature, etc. The Mayor asked if there was any more business to come before the meeting. Hearing none, on motion of Mr. Terebo the r-- meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, ~~t~~ Village Clerk
