Commissioner Martinez then noted, "Section 8., which says there shall be no limit as to the amount of time a Commissioner may speak - I think that during the Agenda discussion, this is used at the State level and the Federal level, and I don't see any harm in using it here. I think that it would be apropos and important to the moving of the Agenda and help us conclude on time - to set amounts of time periods to debate on questions that need debate. I think that giving a Commissioner five (5) minutes to speak CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 11,2002 PAGE 6 OF 23 on an item, and then having the opportunity to come back and speak another five (5) minutes or three (3) minutes would be more than sufficient to express your point of view.

Next, Commissioner Martinez stated, "As far as a time limit is concerned, I don't see why any Commissioner here could not speak on an Item on this Agenda - five (5) minutes is a long period of time for someone to speak and I said also that you could always come back and speak another three (3) or five (5) minutes - if the Commissioner saw fit, or the Chairman saw fit, and it would be up to the Chairman to control the time element." Regarding the issue of Adjournment, Mayor Partyka suggested, "It could be extended for whatever amount of time, by the super majority." "I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GIVE THIS TO CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY AND THEY REVISE THIS RESOLUTION AND TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE REMARKS THAT WERE SPOKEN ABOUT TONIGHT AND BRING BACK A RESOLUTION THAT FITS MORE OR LESS THE CRITERIA THAT WE NEED TO CARRY ON THIS MEETING IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER AND IN A TIMELY FASHION."

'" CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - NOVEMBER 1 1,2002 PAGE 8 OF 23 Mayor Partyka stated, "Are you comfortable Mr. Garganese, that this is legal - a legal document with all the stipulations that Commissioner Blake has raised?

Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "If it is a roundabout, I am thinking a truck can go around it, two (2) different ways - so I would encourage the City Manager and the Staff to look at a creative way of emptying that dumpster so that the gates don't face the residences, if possible."
