CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-SEPTEMBER 12,2016 PAGE 6 OF 25
Commissioner Krebs asked Chief of Police Kevin Brunelle, Police Department about dog related matters, and
Seminole County Animal Control.
It was pointed out that even if someone calls Seminole County about an animal issue, that if there is a definite
safety concern to call the Winter Springs Police Department at(407) 327-1000 and of course for an emergency to
call 9-1-1; and it was suggested that this information could be added to a type of fact sheet and distributed.
Ms. Brenda Kormylo, 210 Bennett Street, Winter Springs, Florida: also spoke of dangerous dogs in her
community, thanked Chief Brunelle for help from his Code Enforcement Staff, and mentioned that it appears to
her that the issue is not with the dogs,but with the property owners.
Discussion ensued on the preference that property owners be contacted about problem dogs, that residents should
feel safe, the City's Nuisance Ordinance, that the Police Department sends letters when applicable, civil liability,
and risks.
Chief Brunelle asked Ms. Kormylo if the residents had been calling the Police Department as Chief Brunelle had
asked to be contacted if there were any issues. Chief Brunelle said he was not aware of any calls, however he
would check the records.
Comments followed on putting the applicable party on notice, potential Fines, and a situation involving Ms.
Kormylo.
Discussion followed on such discussion points as homeowners cannot remain anonymous when calling Seminole
County Animal Control and therefore, some residents do not want to get involved; a house that was breeding
dogs; members of the City Commission thanked Mr. Lenhoff and Ms. Kormylo for coming out to this meeting
and noted their interest in helping the residents; that we need to work together; residents should contact the Police
Department when they need their assistance; and that the Police Department could perhaps distribute a flyer to
area residents including children,as perhaps children may notice some issues first.
Mr. Lenhoff mentioned they would be willing to help distribute such flyers. Other possible sources to send out
information noted were utility bills and"Facebook".
Chief Brunelle commented for the Record about individuals remaining anonymous however, complaints need to
be filed and anonymous complaints do not help prosecute cases.
Commissioner Krebs remarked that any direction to Staff needs to come from the City Manager.
Chief Brunelle said that they have produced and passed out flyers as well as magnets, have held Homeowner
Association meetings around the City, and noted that CAC (Citizens Advisory Committee) meetings start back
Wednesday, September 14,2016.
Mayor Lacey also said that the Commission's ideas were ideas and any direction needs to given by the City
Manager.
Chief Brunelle was asked if his Officers see something, can they be the complainant/witness, to which Chief
Brunelle said"Yes".
Mayor Lacey closed "Public Input".

606. Office of the Mayor-The Honorable Charles Lacey
Mayor Lacey said he would not be present for the second October City Commission meeting and mentioned the
typical annual Election for a Deputy Mayor, adding, "In consideration of Commissioner Krebs' long service and
several different opportunities she has had to serve as Deputy Mayor,I would like to see if the Commission would
be willing to schedule an Election for Deputy Mayor at the next meeting, and obviously it would be an open
Election - it would go the way it would go; but I suggested it with the idea that the Commission could appoint
Joanne Krebs as the Deputy Mayor beginning in October so she would finish her Term as Deputy Mayor which
would coincidentally then mean that she would be presiding at the second meeting of October when I am absent.
So, I am looking to see if the Commission is receptive to that idea and would like to see that put on the Agenda
for October."
COMMISSIONER CANNON ASKED WHAT DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY THOUGHT, TO WHICH
DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY RESPONDED, "I AM GOING TO SO MOVE THAT COMMISSIONER
KREBS IS—NOMINATED FOR DEPUTY MAYOR."
MAYOR LACEY NOTED, "SINCE OUR RULES REQUIRE US REALLY TO SCHEDULE EVENTS
LIKE THAT, COULD THE MOTION BE THAT WE ASK THE MANAGER TO PUT IT ON THE
AGENDA FOR OCTOBER." DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY STATED, "I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO
THAT." SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER RESNICK. DISCUSSION.

MAYOR LACEY CLARIFIED, "YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE, AT THE NEXT MEETING WHICH IS
NOVEMBER 21sT, (2016) MEETING, HAVE IT AS PART OF ITS' AGENDA." MAYOR LACEY
ADDED, "IS THERE OBJECTION FROM THE COMMISSION TO AMEND THE MOTION TO THE

MOTION CARRIED.
Continuing with his Report,Mayor Lacey spoke of the information from the City of Cape Canaveral that had been
sent to the City Commission regarding guidelines for Elected Officials and that Mayor Lacey thought it could be
"Rolled into our existing rules of procedure and made part of that and we would schedule that for a future debate
and Vote of the Commission."
Mayor Lacey hoped that the City Commission could give direction to City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese and
City Manager Kevin L. Smith to prepare an Ordinance for consideration at the next City Commission meeting.
Comments ensued on perhaps having such a discussion after the upcoming Election so that the individual Elected
to Seat Five could be a part of the discussion; expectations and the time it takes for many to learn how to be a
good Elected Official; following something like this as a reference; having the input and experience of the current
Seat Five Commissioner (Commissioner Krebs) before Commissioner Krebs leaves office; issues that recently
happened in a nearby municipality; that there is usually a learning curve for most Elected Officials; that the City
Manager was hired for a reason and the process that should be followed; that Winter Springs does not have the
same issues as a nearby city; past City Commissions; that Resolution 2015-29 and the City Charter include many
of the suggested changes and adding in what the City of Cape Canaveral uses would be duplicative and
unnecessary.
Remarks followed on whether such changes would be in a Resolution or an Ordinance. Mayor Lacey suggested
that what he was interested in such a Motion was to "Take the Cape Canaveral language, substituting out `City
Council' for `City Commission' and any other necessary changes that reflect our structure versus Cape
Canaveral's structure, but verbatim taking those paragraphs from their Code and incorporating it with our rules of
procedure into an Ordinance, and have that First Reading at the next meeting."
Much discussion.
"I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO ASK THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY TO
DRAFT AN ORDINANCE OF THE RULES, WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, AND WHAT WAS
PRESENTED IN THE EMAIL THAT ANDREA (LORENZO-LUACES) FORWARDED FROM THE
MAYOR." MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY.
COMMISSIONER KREBS STATED, "I WOULD LIKE TO SECOND THAT WITH THE ONE THING
THAT COMMISSIONER CANNON HAD ASKED FOR, THAT IT BE SOMEWHAT CLEANED UP
AND STREAMLINED WHERE POSSIBLE." DEPUTY MAYOR HOVEY ADDED, "YES, I AGREE."
DISCUSSION.
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-SEPTEMBER 12,2016 PAGE 21 OF 25
MAYOR LACEY NOTED,"I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT EXCEPT THAT I DO NOT THINK THAT
DUPLICATIVE IS NECESSARILY BAD BECAUSE MY VIEW OF THIS IS THAT IF IT RESTATES
SOMETHING IN THE CHARTER, THAT IS REALLY THE PURPOSE OF IT, IS TO TAKE THE
LANGUAGE IN THE CHARTER AND NOT JUST RESTATE IT BUT AMPLIFY ON IT AND PUT
SOME MORE MEANING TO IT."
MANAGER SMITH AND ATTORNEY GARGANESE ASKED FOR MORE CLARIFICATION
DURING THIS MEETING AND FROM THIS BODY AS A WHOLE. FURTHER COMMENTS.
COMMISSIONER CARROLL SUGGESTED, "TO PROTECT ALL OF US, I WOULD SUGGEST
THAT WE HAVE INCLUDED, THAT WE MUST DISCLOSE ALL EX PARTE CONVERSATIONS
THAT WE HAVE WITH DEVELOPERS." ADDITIONAL REMARKS FOLLOWED.
COMMISSIONER CANNON AGREED WITH WHAT MANAGER SMITH AND ATTORNEY
GARGANESE SAID AND THEN NOTED, "THERE ARE A LOT OF ADDITIONAL THINGS
SPECIFICALLY DEALING WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL
APPLICANTS AND THEIR COMMUNICATION WITH INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONERS - THERE
ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE NOT IN THAT ORDINANCE THAT CAME FROM THE
MAYOR THAT WAS FORWARDED AROUND.
COMMISSIONER CANNON THEN SUGGESTED THAT A WORKSHOP BE HELD, TO ALSO GET
INPUT FROM STAFF,AND THAT HE WOULD PREFER MORE TIME.
COMMISSIONER KREBS MENTIONED THAT AS TIME GOES ON, SUCH CHANGES CAN BE
MADE AND THEN SUGGESTED, "WHAT I WOULD LIKE AS CLEAR DIRECTION THEN AT THIS
POINT WOULD BE FOR YOU TO BRING IT BACK AND OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE
THE NAME AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND THAT IS WHAT I MEAN BY CLEAN UP BUT
ANYTHING THAT YOU THINK MIGHT NOT BE NECESSARY OR PERTAINS, YOU ACTUALLY
HAVE A LINE THROUGH IT OR SOMETHING SO THAT WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT THE
DOCUMENT WE CAN SAY, `YES, THAT MAKES SENSE', `TAKE THAT OUT', OR `DO NOT
INCLUDE THAT'; AND SO, YOU JUST ACTUALLY HAVE EVERYTHING THERE BUT WITH
YOUR OWN OPINION AND THEN WE HAVE OURS AND WE CAN EVEN WORDSMITH IT
FURTHER OURSELVES."
MAYOR LACEY REMARKED,"I AGREE WITH THAT."
COMMISSIONER RESNICK COMMENTED, "I CONCUR WITH EXACTLY WHAT WAS JUST SAID
BY COMMISSIONER KREBS."
FURTHER REMARKS FOLLOWED ON INVOLVEMENT WITH DEVELOPERS AND POTENTIAL
PROJECTS, QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS, LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS,
INTERACTIONS WITH APPLICANTS AND DEVELOPERS, WORKING WITH THE CITY
MANAGER, THE SUNSHINE LAW, AND POTENTIAL LAWSUITS IF THE CITY TURNS DOWN A
PROJECT.
COMMISSIONER CANNON SUGGESTED THAT PERHAPS "THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS SOME
LANGUAGE THAT HE IS AWARE OF THAT HAS BEEN USED BY OTHER JURISDICTIONS THAT
COULD BE ADDED TO THAT,AND IF SO,I THINK IT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THAT."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-SEPTEMBER 12,2016 PAGE 22 OF 25
MAYOR LACEY SAID TO COMMISSIONER CANNON, "LET ME PROPOSE THIS AND SEE IF IT
MEETS YOUR CONCERNS AND I AM ACTUALLY BORROWING OFF OF COMMISSIONER
CARROLL'S SUGGESTION SOMETIME BACK, IN THAT IN ADDITION TO THE PARAGRAPHS
THAT ARE IN FRONT OF US, WE ADD ANOTHER PARAGRAPH THAT SPEAKS TO EX PARTE
COMMUNICATIONS IN A PUBLIC HEARING ENVIRONMENT WHERE THIS MAY COME
BEFORE US AS A QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTER AND I THINK THE INTENT OF THE COMMISSION
HAS BEEN SAID, I WILL ASK ANTHONY (GARGANESE) HIS OPINION - YOU CAN PROBABLY
WORDSMITH SOME SENTENCES THAT SPEAK TO THE CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD
HERE."
COMMISSIONER CANNON MENTIONED EX PARTE LANGUAGE AND POINTED OUT, "YOU
MAY GET A PHONE CALL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE
GOING TO DISCUSS ANY OF THE SUBSTANTIVE INFORMATION OR SAY, A PENDING
APPLICATION. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THOSE TYPES OF CONVERSATIONS SHOULD
TAKE PLACE AND BE COORDINATED, OR MEETINGS, WHATEVER, EVEN IF IT IS A PHONE
CALL, SHOULD BE COORDINATED THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND HIS
APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT HEAD AND IF NECESSARY, HE MAY WANT TO BRING IN THE
CITY ATTORNEY ON THAT CONFERENCE CALL; BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE
COORDINATED AT THAT LEVEL."
MANAGER SMITH STATED, "I BELIEVE THAT THE MOTION THAT IS ON THE TABLE OR THE
REQUEST FROM THE COMMISSION IS TO TAKE THE CURRENT RESOLUTION THAT
GOVERNS OUR RULES OF PROCEDURE, TO COMBINE THEM WITH THE CAPE CANAVERAL
RULES THAT WERE EMAILED TO EVERYONE AND PRESENT THEM IN THE FORM OF AN
ORDINANCE FOR CONSIDERATION OF FIRST READING AT THE NEXT MEETING AND TO BE
DISCUSSED." MAYOR LACEY SAID,"EXACTLY."
FURTHER, MANAGER SMITH SAID THAT HE AND ATTORNEY GARGANESE WOULD BE
HAPPY TO DO THIS BUT WOULD PREFER TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CLEANING UP LESS,
THAN MORE.
MANAGER SMITH ADDED, "MY SECOND THOUGHT PROCESS IS RELATIVE TO WHAT
COMMISSIONER CANNON SAID - I THINK THAT IT'S BEEN VERY DIFFICULT FOR
COMMISSION'S OVER THE YEARS, WHEN THEY SIT IN A POTENTIAL QUASI-JUDICIAL
MATTER ON A LAND USE MATTER - I THINK VERY OFTEN THEIR CONSTITUENTS AND
RIGHTFULLY SO, COME TO THEM ASKING FOR HELP AND AGAIN, RIGHTFULLY SO - 'I
DON'T WANT THIS IN MY BACK YARD, COMMISSIONER'; `I DON'T LIKE THIS PROJECT,
COMMISSIONER'; `I DON'T LIKE THAT PROJECT, COMMISSIONER'; AND THE COMMISSION
IS PUT IN A VERY, VERY, VERY TOUGH SPOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO SWITCH HATS AND
SIT, NOT AS COMMISSIONERS ANYMORE, BUT AS POTENTIALLY JUDGES, AND WHEN THEY
DO THAT, THERE ARE VERY STRICT RULES THAT THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW, AND A LOT OF
TIMES, THEY CAN'T OFFER THEIR OPINION; MATTER OF FACT, MOST TIMES THEY CAN'T
OFFER THEIR OPINION."
CONTINUING, MANAGER SMITH NOTED, "THESE RULES ARE VERY STRICTLY GOVERNED
BY STATUTE AND I BELIEVE THAT ANTHONY (GARGANESE) CAN TAKE THOSE STATUTES
AND INCORPORATE THEM AS PART OF THIS ORDINANCE FOR YOU ALL TO REVIEW AND I
THINK THAT WOULD BE IN SUMMARY, THE REQUEST THAT I WOULD HAVE, IF THAT
MEETS YOUR MOTION AND YOUR DIRECTION,THAT WOULD BE MY REQUEST."
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS,FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING-SEPTEMBER 12,2016 PAGE 23 OF 25
MAYOR LACEY POINTED OUT, "SO, THE MOTION AS STATED COVERS YOUR FIRST PART. I
WOULD NEED CONSENSUS FROM THE COMMISSION FOR THE MOTION TO INCLUDE THE
SECOND PART OF DELEGATING TO ANTHONY (GARGANESE) THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
COMING BACK WITH ANOTHER STATEMENT THAT SPEAKS TO THOSE QUASI-JUDICIAL
RESPONSIBILITIES AND I WON'T BE A LAWYER AND SAY IT IS EX PARTE OR NOT EX PARTE,
WHATEVER ANTHONY(GARGANESE)THINKS IS THE RIGHT LANGAAGE."
FURTHER REMARKS ON EX PARTE TYPE SITUATIONS FOLLOWED.
MAYOR LACEY REFERENCED THE MOTION, AND SAID THAT THE AMENDMENT WAS
ADOPTED BY GENERAL CONSENSUS, AND THEN REITERATED, THE "MOTION IS TO TAKE
OUR CURRENT RULES AND PROCEDURES, INCORPORATE WITH SCRIVENERS
CORRECTIONS THE CAPE CANAVERAL LANGUAGE, AND FOR ANTHONY (GARGANESE) TO
ADD TO THAT, DIRECTION TO THE COMMISSION IN REGARDS TO OUR ROLE IN QUASI-
JUDICIAL MATTERS."
