Recreation Land Acquisition: Manager Rozansky spoke in reference to his letter to the Commission in April for land acquisition for a large park, senior center and civic center. He suggested the area of the proposed expressway interchange for the Civic Center. Commission was in agreement for City Manager to proceed to look to acquire property. Manager Rozansky said he will use the $15,000 that is in the budget for the study for the fire station in combination with land for these other facilities. Manager Rozansky said we need an opt-out ordinance as our ordinance which places the moratorium on impact fees expires in July. He suggested we look into impact fees for the City roads. Monthly reports have been distributed. Attorney Kruppenbacher spoke about opting out and said he would contact Casselberry's attorney in order that we all take the same approach on this impact fee issue. Mayor Grove gave her opinion as she stated, for what it is worth, on the subject of Tuscawilla Road. To possibly jeopardize the whole system she felt is wrong. She spoke of the light to be installed at Trotwood Boulevard and Vistawilla Road will be opening up soon and will relieve some of the problems. The expressway will also help solve some of the traffic problems. The City could pledge their local option gas tax for road improvements on Tuscawilla Road for 80% and the County would repay the City. She felt to hold out on Tuscawilla Road is not in the best interest of the people. Discussion followed and it was decided to wait for an answer to Attorney Kruppenbacher's letter to the County Attorney of May 17, 1988 which offered a settlement to the impact fee lawsuit. . . .
