Regarding Facebook posts, Deputy Mayor Carroll noted that due to the Sunshine Law, that if another Winter Springs Elected Official had commented in any way on a Facebook post, that she or any other Elected Official from the City could not respond, and wanted people to understand that that was why she might not be able to post any comments. Deputy Mayor Carroll added that residents could always call her. Deputy Mayor Carroll mentioned that the Senior Center Staff had prepared folders for "ARTOBERFEST" and all were given out, therefore Deputy Mayor Carroll trusted that would bring in new members. Concluding her Report, Deputy Mayor Carroll offered kudos to A Budget Tree Service, Inc. and remarked that they had picked up 1.5 million cubic feet of storm debris. Commissioner Resnick further addressed the Sunshine Law and how it restricted Elected Officials from commenting on Facebook if another Elected Official had already posted a comment, no matter how minor the comment was. Commissioner Resnick asked Attorney Garganese about this. Attorney Garganese stated, "There are some Attorney General Opinions out there that provide some guidance on that issue which I'd be happy to forward to all the Commission. Be happy to talk to you more in detail about that. The most conservative approach is if you see another Commissioner on a Facebook thread, is to not post, just to avoid altogether the appearance that there is a Sunshine Law issue." With further remarks, Commissioner Resnick inquired if this could be looked into. PUBLIC INPUT Mayor Lacey opened "Public Input". Mr. Ron Ligthart, 1036 Winding Waters Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: pointed out that his Halloween event was a few days away and commented on some of the thematic aspects he had been working on, and also spoke of millage rates, detection systems, and next year's Budget.
