Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee
Deputy Mayor Cannon spoke of many bicycle, pedestrian issues, and said that he was
not in favor of merging the two (2) Committees as suggested in the Agenda Item,
and commented on some bicycle and pedestrian related matters that he thought
should be addressed.
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I MONDAY OCTOBER
Along these lines, Deputy Mayor Cannon noted some concerns with the area near
Barrington Estates, missing sidewalks, an area near Vistawilla Drive and the Cross
Seminole Trail, problems he was aware of on Hayes Road, Moss Road, and Edgemon
Avenue. Deputy Mayor Cannon then suggested adding button access like there is
on Aloma Avenue, recent Appointments, and also mentioned a recent accident that
involved a bicycle near the Parkstone community.
Deputy Mayor Cannon thought the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee had
enough to do, and added that bicyclists often don't stop.
Commissioner Kendrick spoke of his previous service on the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee, said he would like to hear from Staff, and was supportive of
what would work best.
Commissioner TiAnna Hale mentioned that she recently attended a Seminole
County Initiative called "Best Foot Forward" and noted that it focused on
engineering, enforcement, and education; and remarked that we should provide
more awareness on crosswalk safety.
Further brief remarks.
Mr. Chris Caldwell, Director, Parks and Recreation Department and Mr. Christopher
Schmidt, Director, Community Development Department explained what their
plans were.
Deputy Mayor Cannon suggested that he could forward complaints that he had
received to the City Manager, and thought the other Commissioners could do the
same.
Commissioner Jean Hovey asked that should this happen, would additional
Members be added to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee or would the
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Members be absorbed?
Mr. Caldwell stated, "Absorb and the natural attrition would take place, but we would
combine the groups together and the natural attrition is where some folks don't
want to get reappointed again - choose not to be reappointed and then it would
slowly reduce that number to where it's more of a manageable group. They would
be absorbed."
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I MONDAY OCTOBER
Commissioner Hovey then inquired if Staff had contacted the Chairperson of the
Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, to which Mr. Caldwell said they had not
yet, as they wanted to advise the Mayor and City Commission first. Commissioner
Hovey suggested that Staff speak with the Chairperson of the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee and then advise the City Commission.
Next, Commissioner Kendrick referenced the planned upcoming quarterly
meetings, agreed with Commissioner Hovey's suggestion that Chairperson
Nussbaum be contacted, concurred with Deputy Mayor Cannon that comments
from residents be forwarded to Manager Boyle, and thought this could be
readdressed further nextyear.
In other City business, Mayor Lacey referenced the missing link near Layer
Elementary School and a planned completion date. In terms of trying to expedite
this matter, Deputy Mayor Cannon noted, "If there's anything we can do - if it is the
Consensus of the Commission, I would like to ask a letter be sent by our City Manager
to the County Manager saying, can we try and move that along faster."
Mayor Lacey inquired, "Is it the Consensus that we ask Shawn (Boyle) to write a letter
to Nicole Guillot?" Commissioner Kendrick stated, "Absolutely." Members of the City
Commission nodded in agreement. Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "If you could
Shawn (Boyle, City Manager)." No objections were voiced.

and would come back with some recommendations.

interested in looking into situations where cars had not been moved in a long time,
as well as parking and right-of-ways.

into including the applicable Ordinance. Deputy Mayor Cannon further added that
should other Ordinances need to be reviewed, that the City Commission could help
in changing any Ordinances.
Ms. DollyAmes, 7503rd Street, Winter Springs, Florida: referenced some information
she had provided to the Mayor and City Commission regarding people not walking
dogs on leashes and related potential dangers and risks, especially for pets and
children.
Commissioner Johnson commented about dog bites, a personal situation, and
suggested, "Information needs to go to every citizen in the City and I would
encourage anybody in the City who is aware of people who are dog owners that are
not being responsible, to call it in right away."
In terms of enforcement, Chief Deisler said that the Police could be called regarding
any issues in the City.
Remarks followed on possibly including a flyer in water bills and the associated costs.
Manager Boyle asked if the City Commission would consider letting Staff first try an
online campaign.
Deputy Mayor Cannon added, "My suggestion is that we do an aggressive public
relations social media campaign - and frankly, that we also maybe have Brooke
(Procell, Social Media & Marketing Coordinator) come up with a nice little poster and
hand them out" Deputy Mayor Cannon thought that Veterinarians in the City could
help get this information out, and perhaps we could have some signage near trails
and other locations around the City, that dogs must be on leashes.
Mayor Lacey then inquired, "Is there Consensus to take the consolidated ideas from
the City Manager and the Deputy Mayor just enunciated? Everyone in agreement
with that?" No objections were noted.
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I MONDAY OCTOBER
Commissioner Hovey added, "We also have a couple of events coming up there that
the Police Department and the City can hand out the flyers." Further remarks

Endview Pass, Brooksville, Florida: stated, "We talked about - the hydraulic model
needs to be updated; it should be focused so that you start where you're having your
most problems. The second thing that we did - I think we're getting or we have this
evening, got the history of complaints, the history of your lab results out in the
system, so that those can be put on a map - so, that we know exactly where the
problems are occurring in the City. That will then help the Engineers when they run
the hydraulic model to look at age of water and what the flow sequencing is."
Continuing, Mr. Nicholas added, "Part of the transition plan that we've worked out
together is we've already got the water quality expert targeted for a specific date
here early in November to come look at the plant."
Furthermore, Mr. Nicholas said, "It obviously is a problem, and we're focused on it.
We've got a plan and we've got a schedule."

Operations Center) and we staffed the EOC in the last hurricane event - we're
prepared and ready to do that."
Manager Boyle said, "I need to amend the Recommendation to include permission
by the City Attorney to make some slight modifications to a couple of the
paragraphs. It's all dealing with copyrights of software that he owns. It has nothing
to do with the operation of the plant and the data that we own - we didn't get a
chance to make some slight tweaks to it."
