1. Concerning the 13 March Workshop on wastewater, I would like to state that I am
not an advocate of the "Iron Bridge" solution because I feel that this ship has set sail
four years ago: specifically on 11 January 2021 (See Meeting Minutes Agenda Item
#100). This was the first time since 28 September 2009 (Agenda Items # 502 and #
605) that the poor condition of our plants was briefed by Staff to the Commission.
Mr. Kip Lockcuff (Utility Director) first mentions to the Commission that our
wastewater treatment plants will have to be replaced in 5 to 10 years.
...Surprisingly, there were no questions from the Commission on this revealing
comment; nor was the Commission ever briefed again by staff on the condition of
our plants until 11 January 2021: �11 years too late! (again, see Al #100).
2. At this 11 January 2021 Commission meeting, the staff briefed the Commission on
the poor state of our wastewater plants, thus finally and metaphorically "weighing
anchor" by beginning the necessary discussions and putting planning in motion to
resolve our long-standing wastewater plant problems.
3. 1 would also recommend residents read the minutes from 14 February 2011
(Agenda item #104) concerning reclaimed water and an associated financial report;
and read the minutes from 25 July 2011 (Agenda Item # 502) concerning the Final
Engineering Plan, Site Plan & Aesthetic Review for the Lake Jesup Reclaimed Water
Augmentation Plant.
4. All provide further details of interest on these important topics which helps to shed
light on how we got here.
5. So what's my point? There is a long history here, over many years, many
Commissions, and many Staff. ... But that's the past. We can't afford to wait any
longer to resolve our long-standing wastewater issues. ...Until we replace our
plants, things will only get worse.
6. Therefore, I would ask the Commission to hold Staff accountable to Contract "cost,
schedule, and performance" (the big three) by requiring frequent briefings to you in
as many future workshops as you can stand.
7. Please keep the lines of communications between Staff, and the Commission, and
the Public open so we don't have a repeat of what we saw happen in 2009 and miss
that boat again.
8. And lastly, stuff happens. So please don't close -hold bad news, as it only makes
things worse.
Thankyou.

I wish to address comments made during Public Input by a resident at the 13 March
wastewater workshop concerning the following three issues.
1. Issue 1. A desire for "realistic timelines": and the resident's provided example was that
in "October 2019"the city published in a "Water Works" announcement, a wastewater
treatment plant initial "groundbreaking" for "October 2020". BLUF —This information is
totally inaccurate.
a. As my earlier Public Input documented this evening, I have done extensive
research on this issue....Let me point out a critical flaw in this example as it was
presented.
i. Based on the actual timeline, the Commission at the time was not briefed
by staff on any wastewater plant issues until 11 January 2021 (see
Agenda Item #100). This critical information was presented by staff and
briefed by Veolia and is the first time that the actual state of the
wastewater treatment plants was revealed to the Commission since
2009. It was also briefed at this 11 January meeting that "...previous
maintenance was estimated to not have been properly done for 10 to 15
years...".
ii. It was this revelation that led the Commission to agree to a 24-month
timeline to keep the old plants up and running. Furthermore, the
Commission then commenced planning for a total wastewater plant
replacement; the planning and funding of which we are already moving
on, as you know.
His Based on the evidence I read, the flaw here is that there is no way that a
plant groundbreaking could have been discussed, properly planned, or
published in October 2019 for a groundbreaking in October 2020 since
the Commission was not even briefed on the severity of the problem until
11 January 2021, about 15 months Later. ... I just can't make sense of this.
2. Issue 2: "We are under a health crisis..." and the speaker gave as example the discovery
of Coliform bacteria in city drinking water samples in "2018" as well as "spills". BLUF—
This statement is mis-leading at best.
a. I am not an expert on this, but my research indicates that coliform bacteria are
common in soil and in surface water and may even occur on your skin. Coliform
bacteria are considered "indicator organisms" because they indicate the
potential presence of disease -causing bacteria in water. [The time of the year
and the weather conditions can affect the occurrence and the amount of
coliform since the bacteria live closer to the surface and tend to thrive in warm
2
temperatures. Rain for example can transport coliform from the surface of the
earth into the aquifer as the rainwater moves down to recharge it.] But in any
case, the standard is that no coliform bacteria can be present in drinking water.
b. The 2019 (not 2018 as the speaker stated) city drinking water report did
document the presence of coliform in three samples of water taken in April
"
2019. This required a Level 1 Assessment" to identify and then correct any
problems found. Nine repeat samples were taken following the new coliform
rules. All samples were negative for total coliform and there have been no
reports of coliform bacteria since. City monitoring continued, and of note in the
report, the city tests a minimum of 480 samples per year for microbial
contaminants.
c. I found it very interesting that the speaker chose to publicly identify the discovery
of the contaminant but stopped there without addressing as Paul Harvey would
say the "rest of the story".
d. We are all aware of the condition of our wastewater treatment plants, and the
Mayor and the Commission have already stated publicly that we can expect
more spills until these old and outdated plants can be replaced and is why we
should not slow this process down.
e. If there is a crisis, the crisis here is the urgent need for new wastewater plants.
Talk of anything else is a distraction!
3. Issue 3. The need for open and frequent communications. BLUF This is an issue that
we all can agree with and appreciate.
a. I standby my previous public input comment that the Commission hold the staff
accountable to contract "cost, schedule, and performance" (the big three) by
requiring frequent briefings to you in future workshops. Please keep the tines of
communications between Staff and the Commission open, positive, and the
briefings frequent so we never have a repeat of what we saw happen in 2009.
b. And lastly stuff happens. So please don't close -hold bad news, as it only makes
things worse.
4. I ask that both my Public Input comments be made part of the official record.
Thank you. Art Gallo

To: Mayor Kevin MaCann and his Winter Springs Commissioners
Subject: This Commission's Challenge? Avoid conflicts of interest!
It's funny how some, but not all of us manage to forget history. At the earlier Commission
Meeting here this month, the subject of IRON GATE came up again, and the Commission again
debated the alternative of sending its sewage, thirty miles away through a new sewer pipe to be
built across two Counties?
On Sept 28, 2009, sixteen years ago, another commission meeting in this chamber, discussed the
growing need for the City's Sewage and Water Treatment modernization, and rejected IRON
GATE. Who were the four Commissioners then present: Krebs, Hovey, Brown, and Bonner. A
year later Charles Lacey became Mayor, and for the next eight years, the subject of water and
sewage overlooked, and no updated comprehensive plans made for the City, because, as Lacey
bragged in city publications, he and his Commissioners had already established their strategic
objectives, and this City would soon be the economic engine for residents and business interests
in Seminole County.
Unfortunately these plans never materialized. And when the sewer and water problem was
finally raised again by new Commissioners elected in 2019, everyone was amazed because the
water and sewer problem had somehow been forgotten. And then Mayor Lacy resigned in the
middle of his third term. No one in the City could explain the oversight, so the city asked its
former Commissioners for help? Weeks later a letter from a local attorney informed the city, that
his new clients had nothing to say. These were Former Mayor Charles Lacey, and
Commissioners Rick Brown. Joanne Krebs, Jean Hovey, Kade Resnick (who had serve earlier
from 2011 to 2017), and Kendrick.
In late 2019 a two year food -fight began to address responsibilities for oversight questions
pertaining to the modernization of the City's water and sewer needs. Two influential residents
then created a private entity called WSCA, and encouraged candidates to run for City office. And
who were WSCA's President and Vice President? Jessie Phillips and former city Commissioner
Ken Greenberg. And among WSCA's other officers and Directors, former Mayor Charles Lacey,
and former Commissioners, Brown, Hovey, and Krebs. Two of WSCA's endorsed candidates for
City Commission in 2022 also got elected.
In May 2022, Phillips anonymously handed a list of his and WSCA's grievances against the City
of Winter Springs to a State Senator in Tallahassee. These grievances needlessly included a long
�1�
list of weaponized allegations, of rampant mismanagement, malfeasance, violations of state
ethics laws, a complete lack of transparency, censoring residents, using tax payer funds for
Commissioners re -elections, public corruption, and profiteering by city officials.
For the next eight months this senator then did absolutely nothing with these incredible and
inflammatory allegations, until January 2023 when he demanded a year -long State audit of
Winter Springs, alluding to even more charges that the City was in a financial crisis and probably
bankrupt, and might even need the Governor to appoint new City leadership to run the City in
receivership. Seminole County's Zembower then joined the State's investigation, demanding a
Seminole County audit of the City's books. And the outcome of the results of the above
mentioned weaponized charges made to the State of Florida by Phillips, Greenberg and his
WSCA officers and Directors back in May 2022? By the end of 2024 absolutely no findings
were found for Rampant mismanagement, criminal activity, gross negligence, violations of state
ethics laws, serious lack of city government transparency, censoring of residents, or employee
theft of City property.
So what was it all about? A bad smell still lingers over this new City Commission, and many
residents now watch your meetings with mounting concerns, fearful that the new chaos
surrounding MAGA and big business interests at the national and County level may now be
metast4,si4ng right here on the Winter Springs dais.
