Public Comment: Ray Laub, Blue Spruce Court, spoke about the proposed taxing district for the maintenance of the common areas of Tuscawilla. He said more than six months ago they voted to tax themselves for the purpose of maintaining the common areas of Tuscawilla the way the people who live there desire them to be maintained. He said their pleas have fallen on deaf ears and as a result Tuscawilla looks lousy, Winter Springs looks lousy and he lays the blame on the Commission. He said all they have asked for is a legitimate taxing district, and he asked for an explana- tion. Deputy Mayor Torcaso explained that not all the people in Tuscawilla are in favor of the taxing district. He explained the Commission has turned it down. Jim Pitts, Lamoka Court, said the way Deputy Mayor Torcaso just spoke to the citizen of this community was a disgrace, and he said if he had it in his power to impeach him he would do so. General Agenda First Reading of Ord. No. 548, setting term limitations, etc.: Deputy Mayor Torcaso said Ord. No. 548 will be on the agenda for the next meeting. Attorney Kruppenbacher explained he prepared two ordinances. One is a three term consecutive, nine year limit which says you are entitled to have three and the other is a three term non-consecutive meaning you could be on the commission only three terms of three years each. You may have three years, take off three years. He said most everything he has seen has been the consecutive. Attorney Kruppenbacher said he thinks the one the Commission envisioned was the nine year consecutive term, then you can not come back on the Commission. That would apply to the Mayor and Commission. . . .
