Council Seat I - William Jacobs:
Nothing to report.
Council Seat II - Wilfred Arnold:
Councilman Arnold recommended the City Council forward their ideas on
the possibility of setting up a common prosecutor. Councilman Arnold
noted the State Attorney's Office is not prosecuting municipal cases.
Mayor Piland questioned the basis of the charges for their services,
stating that the fee must be clarified as to whether it would be based
on the number of cases prosecuted or the number of cases turned over.
Mayor Piland recommended the City endorse the program. Councilman
Torcaso suggested Councilman Arnold get with the City Manager and
Police Chief to obtain their views before the next regular City Council
Meeting on January 8, 1980.
Councilman Arnold introduced the idea of the City adopting a uniform
anti-pornography code. It was suggested that the City of Winter
Springs consider adopting a resolution similar to that of Casselberry's,
establishing a 180-day moratorium on the granting of conditional use
permits or the issuance of occupational licenses involving such
enterprises. Councilman Jacobs brought up the license fee. Mayor
Piland asked the City Attorney to examine Winter Spring's existing laws
and come to the next City Council Meeting on January 8th with his
recommendations. Mayor Piland said there was always the possibility
of this item being placed on the ballot next year and letting the
citizens set their own standards.
Councilman Arnold wished all the families in Hacienda a Merry
Christmas and also reminded them of the license fees due in January.
Councilman Arnold noted the meeting set for 9:30 A.M. on January 4,
1980 with the Risk Management Insurance Company.
Council Seat III - John Bennett:
Nothing to report.
Council Seat IV - Maureen Boyd:
Councilman Boyd noted the problem of heavy smoke in the City Hall and
requested consideration be given to purchase some type of device to
control the problem. Councilman Torcaso mentioned smokeless ashtrays.
City Manager Rozansky has a quote for $992.00 for a clean air machine.
Councilman Boyd mentioned the use of small fans. Mary Williamson of
the Ranchlands said she knew of some residents who had stopped coming
to Council Meetings due to allergies and irritation to contact lenses.
Mayor Piland requested City Manager Rozansky check into the matter.
