Dear Mr. Ligthart:
This letter is in response to your October 20, 2005 emailletter to The Mayor and Commission of
the City of Winter Springs.
In reviewing your comments I need to apprise you of the fact that your representations regarding
a statement from me in which, according to you, I state that,
"The City of Winter Springs has had NO millage rate
increase in the past ten years,"
is an erroneous statement. I don't know how you came to this conclusion but you are wrong. I
would suggest that you get a copy of the tape of the meeting in which you allege that such a
statement was made and carefully review if for a factual representation of what I mayor may not
have said.
In regard to your request for City millage rates from 2000 to the present, please be advised of the
following millage rates as approved by the City Commission:
