Subject: Regular Agenda Item B, August 28, 2000 Commission Meeting
In my absence, I would like the following statement read into the record tonight when the
issue is introduced under Regular Agenda Item B.
I am in total support o.fResolution #2000-27 that establishes a professional Charter
Review Advisory Committee with the proviso that the project be completed in time for
the Local Option Sales Tax referendum scheduled for May 2001. I further support the
approval of Mr. Jim Burgess as the Lead Consultant for the project. I also support the
supplemental appropriation of $25,000 from General FWld Revenues for implementing
this Charter Review.
I support taking tbe pliOfessional approach as outlined in Resolution #2000-27 rather than
a Charter Review by II Committee of citizens that often become self serving. The
professional review i.~~ to ensure that the Winter Springs Charter is modernized as needed
and is consistent with the <<Model City Charter".
