~~
Dear Ms. Lorenzo-Luaces:
Per our conversation today, Mr. Bob Lochrane has served as the representative from Winter
Springs on METROPLAN ORLANDO's Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAe) since June
1994. At that time, he was appointed to succeed resigning member Mr. William Stone.
The term of office for CAC members, who serve their county or municipality in a voluntary
capacity, is four (4) years. Members in good standing can then be re-appointed by their
jurisdiction, or a successor selected. In updating our files recently, and subsequently
speaking with Mr. Lochrane, I found that his re-appointment to a term ending in June 2002
was never formalized by the City of Winter Springs. Thus, I am requesting that the City
formally reappoint their CAC representative for the remainder of the current term.
METROPLAN ORLANDO is the regional transportation partnership for Orange, Osceola
and Seminole Counties. As the only tri-county metropolitan planning organization (MPO)
in Florida, we are responsible for planning and prioritizing transportation projects in the
Orlando metropolitan area. The CAC helps ensure that area citizens are involved in the
transportation planning process. Among their responsibilities, members review
transportation studies and findings, assess public reaction to planning proposals, and
provide comment to METROPLAN ORLANDO with respect to community concerns.
I appreciate your willingness to discuss this matter at your January 10, 2000 City
Commission meeting. A copy of the CAC bylaws is enclosed, as is our FY 1998/1999
Annual Report. If I can answer any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 407-481- .~~,

Legal Defense Expenditure
FROM:
In my absence, I would like to have this memorandum read into the record on my
behalf by the Mayor, or by the Deputy Mayor should the Mayor not wish to do so.
I understand that Mr. Mikes has filed a law suit against Mr. Partyka. This lawsuit
is personal in nature, and is in no way related to Mr. Partyka's responsibilities in carryi.ng
out city business.
Therefore, as I have stated before, I do not believe that any legal expenses
encountered by Mr. Partyka should be funded by the citizens of Winter Springs, Florida
or the League of City's Insurance. I further believe that this Commission should take a
stand at this time. and direct the City Manager to inform the League of City's that this
commission does not condone a legal defense expenditure for Mr. Partyka on this matter.
