Public Comment: Matt Schuman, operator of the contract postal station in the Winter Springs Center asked the Commission for their help in the form of a resolution to retain the existing contract post office. Terry Meta, Aloha Court, spoke in reference to a retaining wall in the back of her lot which is on a utility and drainage easement. The City Engineer suggested two solutions to the problem of the drainage. One was to move the wall back to the edge of the drainage easement and the other was to put in a pipe on the inside of the wall and have the water conveyed that way. Mr. Rick Dye, developer of the project, offered to put in the pipe if he was told to do so. Manager Rozansky explained there was probably no communication with the homeowners, the contractors, the City or the Developer and the City Engineer is saying it is possible it will come up again because there is no way to tell which lots will have walls built. Then it will have to be addressed on an individual basis. General Agenda Public Hearing and Second Readings: Ord. No. 491, amending the 1989-1990 FY Budget, etc. Ord.

Commissioner Hoffmann also pointed out in Sec. 4.02(b) talks about the Districting Commission being set up Feb. 1991 and every three years thereafter. Commissioner Hoffmann suggested having a repeat in 1992, and then every three years so that the Commission would meet and review districts at a time when there is no City election for that year. Attorney Parker suggested 90 days to create districts the first year and every year thereafter from 1992 we have 120 days. Attorney Parker said he would make these changes. John Ferring, Oak Forest, suggested the position of the Mayor be reviewed. Oak Forest Unit 8 - Drainage: The City Engineer gave a letter to the City Manager regarding the elevations of floor slabs in the Vicinity of Aloha Court and Seafarer Lane, Oak Forest Unit 8. . . . Regular Meeting, City Commission, July 9, 1990 Page 3 89-90-18 City Attorney Kruppenbacher said we have received two protests on the award of the Bid for the construction of the Senior Center. It has been concluded that the protests are frivolous, and Manager Rozansky is to execute the contract with Stowell Builders, subject to checking the revision to the new state law. Attorney Kruppenbacher said he is waiting for the documentation from D.L.J., and he is also working on the issue of the municipal taxing unit for the Tuscawilla common properties. Attorney Kruppenbacher also reported that Indian Ridge condominiums on Moss Road are asking to appeal the payment of impact fees. City Manager Richard Rozansky: Presentation of Fiscal Year 1990/1991 Budget a. Budget Message, b. General Operating Budget, c.WSWS-West, d. WSWS-East: Manager Rozansky read his Budget Statement as follows: Again this year I am submitting a budget which includes a tentative increase in millage. To understand this budget proposal one has but to look through the budget-revenues vis- a-vis departmental/general expenditures. General Fund revenues have not kept pace with General Fund expenditures. While General Fund Revenues have increased some $646,345 in FY 1990/1991, Ad Valorem $2,137,611 (3.7287 mills) accounts for $635,391 of the $646,435 overall increase. The combined "gain" of State Revenue Sharing and State Sales Tax is $91,690. Unfortunately Water Franchise Fees and Miscellaneous Revenues indicate a combined "loss" of $129,413. There are no other significant amounts or changes in the General Fund Revenues. Personnel and related costs account for an additional $416,331.00. Of this figure $183,554.00 is directly attributable to new personnel programmed in throughout the budget year, and $232,777 for City employee salary increases. Additional facilities, programs and responsibilities necessitated additional personnel with funding. Salary increases for employees have been entertained by the Commission annually during the budget process. The majority of our employees perform exceptionally well. Should we determine after reviewing this budget that funds are not available for proposed increases, the Budget may be adjusted to accommodate that policy. The Budget represents what I consider a conservative and realistic approach to the allocation of funds necessary to adequately and effectively maintain our present service level and allow for the implementation of approved programs and facilities now in the development/construction stage but scheduled to come on line during Fiscal Year 1990/1991. Manager Rozansky reported the Total City Budget this year, all funds, General Budget is $11,542,887; WSWS-East is $2,452,140 and WSWS-West is $2,304,029; for a combined total Budget of $16,299,056. He reviewed the Budget Calendar and the Tentative Budget Hearing will be September 10 and the Final Hearing will be September 24. On July 23 the Commission must set the proposed millage rate, rolled back rate and day, time and place for the Tentative Budget Hearing. Other possible dates for Workshops fall on July 16, July 30, Aug. 6, Aug. 20 and Sept. 17. . Regular Meeting, City Commission, July 9, 1990 Page 4 89-90-18 Commissioner Kulbes then asked that instead of the City Manager going over the revenues, that the Commission review the Budget, and it will be discussed at the Workshop Meeting on July 16th. Mr. Greg Miller, Aloha Court, asked about the item on the Agenda, Oak Forest Unit 8 Drainage. The memo from the City Engineer listed the various elevations on the various lots. The City Engineer said as far as he could tell the drainage was working as it had been approved because he did not see any puddling on the property. Mr. Kozlov also explained about putting in swales, the trees would have to come down, and that would create many other issues. Mr. Kozlov was asked to go out and check the drainage and see if it is working properly during the next rainstorm, and also to ask the developer to put something at the border line to stop further erosion. Winter Springs Water and Sewer-Utility Director: Motion was made by Commissioner Kulbes that we establish this position because we are getting into the position now we are going to be almost big league city and in order to operate as a big league city we have to have professional people who are qualified to do the jobs. Although Mr. Rozansky has been running it, he is not a sanitary engineer and he may not know all the ins and outs of it and may make some mistakes that could be costly to the City in the future; therefore, it is my recommendation that we approve this position at the recommended salary. Seconded by Commissioner Jacobs. Discussion. Vote on the motion: Commissioner Kulbes, aye; Commissioner Jacobs, aye; Commissioner Partyka, aye; Commissioner Kaehler, aye; Commissioner Hoffmann, aye; motion carried. . Manager Rozansky explained that Chief Govoruhk needs a brief statement from him of the projects to be funded by the one cent sales tax. What had been discussed previously was to expand the police facility or possibly build a new building. Commission was in agreement for Manager Rozansky to give Chief Govoruhk a letter to send to the Sheriff. Attorney Kruppenbacher asked for the Commission's direction about mandatory garbage. Attorney Kruppenbacher was asked to prepare an ordinance for mandatory garbage to be placed on the tax rolls. Commissioner Kaehler asked for the number of people I.W.S. has on the system, and how many are not on the system. Commission Seat III - Philip A. Kulbes: Commissioner Kulbes spoke about the HB3709 which requires all School Boards to comply with local comprehensive plans and guidelines in locating schools. Seminole County School Board has submitted a bid to buy property in Braewick and the residents of Braewick are concerned. Commissioner Kulbes said he is trying to assure those residents that the School Board would have to come before our Planning & Zoning Board and meet all of the City's requirements. Commissioner Kulbes also spoke about the meeting he attended with City Manager Rozansky and the Seminole County Solid Waste people, regarding mandatory garbage pickup. He informed the County that we would not be going with the County, but that we would be going on our own. . . . . Regular Meeting, City Commission, July 9, 1990 Page 5 89-90-18 Commission Seat IV - William A. Jacobs: No report. Commission Seat V - Paul P. Partyka: Commissioner Partyka asked about the Comprehensive Land Plan and if we are on schedule. He also spoke about having a survey to see if the City government can handle the future anticipated growth, such as a Mayor form of government, if the departments are set up right, and if we have sufficient employees to handle the future growth. Commission Seat I - Cindy Kaehler: No report. Commission Seat II - Arthur Hoffmann: Commissioner Hoffmann asked about the Chestnut Ridge "wall" that was discussed at the last meeting. Commissioner Hoffmann announced the Longwood/Winter Springs Chamber of Commerce is going to have a program on the fourth Monday of August, at the Quality Inn at 12 Noon, concerning the Longwood Beautification program and perhaps the B.O.W.S. Board should be informed of that meeting and maybe they can send a delegate. Commissioner Hoffmann asked about the pond issue on Seneca. Attorney Kruppenbacher said they are prepared to fix it if they get releases, and that is their position. Commissioner Hoffmann also spoke about properties along Winter Springs Boulevard and Northern Way where the property owners are neglecting to take care of their right- of-way. Commissioner Hoffmann also spoke about the property along side of the golf course which they are neglecting to mow. Mayor's Office: Mayor Grove reminded everyone of the Workshop July 16th, 7:00 p.m. Commissioner Partyka asked the City Attorney when we would get a ruling on the whole golf course issue and Attorney Kruppenbacher answered it would be the end of August. Meeting was adjourned 9:50 p.m. Respectfully submitted, ~ r 7IAZ;S Mary T. Norton, City Clerk Approved: ,MAYOR ~. GROV
