Approval of minutes of April 27, 1992:
There were no additions or corrections; minutes stand approved as presented.
Mikes Lawsuit Report:
Attorney Kruppenbacher explained that Judge Claude Edwards, who was the mediator for
the Mikes Lawsuit, has been a member of the Florida Bar for over 30 years; a former
member of the Orlando City Council, a former sitting Circuit Court Judge for 15+ years;
and an Orange County former Chief Judge of the 9th Judicial Circuit. Attorney Kruppenbacher
explained we have no option as to whether we go to mediation, we are ordered to mediation
by the Judge sitting in the case.
Judge Edwards asked Mr. Moti Khemlani to explain what he felt went wrong with the
mediation; however, Mr. Khemlani had left the meeting to obtain a tape recorder.
Mayor Kulbes then went to the first item on the agenda which was a request for
permission to have more than two dogs-Vern L. Kiser, 120 S. Cortez Avenue. Mr.
Kiser was not present.
Motion was made by Commissioner Kaehler to table. Seconded by Commissioner Jonas.
Vote on the motion: Commissioner Torcaso, aye; Commissioner Jonas, aye; Commissioner
Langellotti, aye; Commissioner Donnelly, aye; Commissioner Kaehler, aye; motion
carried.
City Manager Richard Rozansky:
Central Winds Park Update: Manager Rozansky reported we are still having problems
with the curve. Mr. Wood of Florida Dept. of Transportation suggested we send
copies of the revised temporary bypass road to FDOT for approval. As far as accepting
the park, a walk-through on the maintenance building and the facilities building was
held and the buildings were inspected by the Building Official, Recreation Department,
Staff and Engineer. Manager Rozansky said we are going to accept those two buildings.
He said we want to accept the park; however, there is a possible problem with the
auxiliary field in the passive area because of the way it was designed. Today they
suggested a swale be put in the passive area.
Commissioner Kaehler asked why the City has to pay for something they guaranteed would
work and now it does not. Attorney Kruppenbacher said a meeting is to be held with
~ Regular Meeting, City Commission, May 11, 1992
City Manager and the Land Development Coordinator to go through every item and the
contract and identify where we believe legally responsibility lies. Then a report
will be given to the Commission.

Mayor Kulbes said at this time we would go back to the Mikes Lawsuit. Judge Edwards
asked Mr. Khemlani to explain what he felt went wrong at the mediation. Mr. Khemlani
said he wished he had been allowed to tape record what happened. Judge Edwards explained
Mr. Khemlani was asked not to tape record the mediation, and he graciously agreed not to
do that. Judge Edwards explained it was a meeting open to the public but it was a
mediation and not a public hearing and not a City Commission meeting, so it was a
different matter.
Judge Edwards said negotiating this particular mediation and the result that has been
recommended is transient quarters such as guest cottages were eliminated and so were
multi-family in the guise of condominiums, and the proposal is for single family homes
all across the board.
Attorney Kruppenbacher explained the primary goal was to take Tuscawilla to single
family and that is what this Commission wanted because that is what their citizens
wanted. He said we have been able to put this entire issue to rest with a very
good plan.
