Commissioner Edward Martinez, Jr. said, "I suggest that we find a way to assist the
school in reaching their goal, whichever way that may be." Mayor Partyka thanked Ms.
Walters for her comments, and said, "We'll bring this up - with the City Manager ,md see
what the City Commission wants to do."
Mr. Al Rocco, 953 Glen Abbey Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: advised the Commission
that "To the immediate rear of my property is an excavation ditch, for want of a. better
term. That ditch runs parallel to approximately twelve (12) to fifteen (15) houses." Mr.
Rocco spoke of this area being very flooded and is concerned with snakes and
mosquitoes. Mr. Rocco felt that some ofthe problems were a result of a "dam" and pipes
on a property which is about ten (to) to twelve (12) houses south of his property; that he
has witnessed the contractor throwing debris into a nearby area; and Florida Power was
using an easement to replace utility poles.
Mayor Partyka asked City Manager, Ronald W. McLemore, "Is there anything that we
can do from a City standpoint, in terms of checking things out?" Manager McLemore
stated, "I noticed that Kip [Kipton D. Lockcuff, P.E., Public WorkslUtility Department
Director] was taking very good notes and we'll go out and look at it and sum up what we
can do." Commissioner Martinez suggested that "Public Works go over there and take a
look and come back to the City Manager, and then we can tell Mr. Rocco if the City can
do something for him, or if it's a Homeowner's Association's duty to take care of it, or
whose responsibility will it be; but the condition has to be corrected." Manager
McLemore added, "We'll be there tomorrow."
Ms. Helga Schwartz, 720 Galloway Court, Winter Springs, Florida: commented on the
City Manager editorializing portions of the City's newsletter; and asked about the status
of the Parker property acquisition, Discussion. Commissioner Michael S. Blake asked
Attorney Garganese, "Is there some sort of rule, law, statute or anything outstanding that
requires the Board to not utilize tax payer dollars to take an advocacy position on the
question that is coming up or are we allowed to do that?" Attorney Garganese responded,
"As the City Manager said, I recall there is case law regarding this issue and my
recollection is the case held that the City Commission does have the authority to state a
position on a referendum question - regarding managing of public policy. I'd be ha.ppy to
pull that case for you and provide it to each Commissioner after this Meeting."
Commissioner Blake said, "I'd appreciate it if you could do that."
Further discussion with Members of the Commission and Ms. Schwartz.
Mr. Medford McCoy, 114 Brookshire Court, Winter Springs, Florida: said that he had
not received an answer from the last Meeting on the Winding Hollow light issue and
asked if the delay involved another light location. Mr. Lockcuff explained the timeline.

Deputy Mayor David W. McLeod discussed crossarms with Mr. Lockcuff. Discussion
ensued on County and FDOT standards. Deputy Mayor McLeod advised Mr. McCoy,
"No, they were not taken to 419 because I'm doing the project at 419. No, I'm trying to
figure out where mine are also. I haven't even addressed that with them yet."
Mr. Richard Grogan, 1 North Fairfax Avenue, Winter Springs, Florida: representing the
Beautification of Winter Springs Board, Mr. Grogan asked if signs stating that the City of
Winter Springs was a "Bird Sanctuary" could be put up, in coordination with the "Tree
City USA" sign. Commissioner Blake inquired about potential legal issues if this was
done. Mr. Grogan explained the current designation of ''No Hunting" signs rather than
"Bird Sanctuary" signs. Commissioner Blake stated, "I would like to see your Board do
something on that and bring it back to us."
Mr. Albert Murro, 632 Cheoy Lee Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: on behalf of the Oak
Forest Homeowners Association, Mr. Murro made "A formal request to the City to aid
Oak Forest in trying to find out, which, if any common areas have been deeded to the
Association." Manager McLemore clarified, "You don't mean, by the City, you mean
when it was originally organized." Mr. Murro agreed. Mayor Partyka said, "We'll have
the City Manager look into that." Manager McLemore said, "We can use what we have
on records, plats, and that type of thing, but to really get down to the bottom of it, you
have to have a title search done, but we can certainly let you know what we know, from
what records we have."
Commissioner Blake spoke about the Property Appraiser's office and their coding
system, and advised Mr. Murro, "Give me a call this week, I might know somebody up
there that I can put you in touch with."
Mr. Murro also inquired about the turn signal on Trotwood. Mr. Lockcuff answered Mr.
Murro's question.
Tape I/Side B
Ms. Joanne Krebs, 1002 Taproot Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: advised the
Commission that she has found out that "All bites and any problems involving animals -
must be reported to Seminole County directly." Ms. Krebs asked the Commission for
communication with citizens regarding proper procedures, and suggested that Ordi.nances
"Empower the Police Department with a way to enforce all the violators."
Ms. Lori Bosse, 1004 Gator Lane, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke in favor of pet
restrictions and having an Ordinance include enforcement. Ms. Bosse also spoke of a
problem with a neighbor who is harassing her with signs.

Commissioner Robert S. Miller asked Attorney Garganese, "Were you going to look into
that issue of signs in residential areas, such as this lady, Ms. Bosse is dealing with, or was
that negated by the Freedom of Speech clause which you had mentioned at one point?"
Attorney Garganese replied, "I don't believe there's much the City can do, with respect to
that. "
Commissioner Miller then spoke of garage sale signs. Attorney Garganese then said,
"There are limitations. I can go back and further look at the sign issue, in the back yard,
however, first of all there needs to be some substantial governmental interest to regulate
signs, if the signs are not viewable from a public right of way, and they can only be
viewed by the neighbor. I think it becomes more difficult for the City to regulate ~:igns in
those situations." Commissioner Miller asked Ms. Bosse if the signs were visible to other
neighbors. Ms. Bosse said that they were and Commissioner Miller said, "I think you
need to look into that then, because this is a community type issue; and if we can
prescribe the number of signs for a garage sale and all the other sites that we have on our
Ordinance, I think we should be able to do something about this. I'd like to see this come
back at the next Meeting with ways that this can be addressed."
Discussion ensued on fences and height limitations. Commissioner Miller then said, "I
think you should look into this, because the point is well taken. If the sign is on the lawn,
it's on her private property. If it's on a hundred-foot pole..." Attorney Garganese then
discussed height limitations and engineering standards and said, "I will look further into
the issue."
Commissioner Martinez said to Manager McLemore, "Code Enforcement has informed
me that this sign situation has been taken care of, and they weren't being put up any
longer when I talked to them, a week or so ago. And I would like - to suggest to you that
maybe you can have Code Enforcement go right there, just pass by there every now and
then, between now and the next meeting and come back and inform us if those signs are
there, and how many - and then we can make a better judgement."
Further discussion. Mayor Partyka asked Ms. Bosse, "Is there an inkling of a possibility
that if you two sat down, voiced it and had a third person right there - I'd be happy to
volunteer. Can you potentially work this out?" Deputy Mayor McLeod asked Attorney
Garganese if this might cause a liability problem for the City. Attorney Garganese
responded, "The Mayor would not be able to bind the City in any way or fashion."
Mr. Roger Cooper, 313 Twelve Oaks Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: did not address the
Commission, but forwarded a petition of residents who were opposed to a proposed
Respite Center to be constructed within the City limits.
Mr. Moti Khemlani, 605 Morgan Street, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke about letters
written against Commissioner Martinez and stated that the "Tuscawilla Telephone
Directory for year 2001 is dedicated in your honor." Mr. Khemlani further spok1e about
the City's improved government. Commissioner Martinez thanked Mr. Khemlani.

Mr. Marshall "Smokey" Allen, 1065 Winter Springs Boulevard, Winter Springs, Florida:
advised the Commission that he had given a printout to the Oak Forest Homeowners
Association regarding all properties in Oak Forest. Mr. Allen added, "The Homeowners

Commissioner Martinez inquired, "Are there any Winter Springs youth excluded from
these programs, at the expense of the outside kids that are coming into the program?"

to have a result that it would keep our own kids from participating in recreation?" Mr.
Caldwell responded, "No, Sir." Mr. Caldwell further stated that "No Winter Springs
resident is going to be excluded from our programs." Commissioner Martinez sta.ted, "I
would like the record to be very clear on the fact that we are not excluding a single: youth
from Winter Springs that wants to participate in one of these programs, since their
parents are the ones that are paying the bill,"

said, "I would just like you to bring it up with them, because they may need to have - the

thought we had this discussion before. It looks like that number has cropped up again as

Manager McLemore said that "I would have to go back and review what the direction of
the Commission was."
Commissioner Blake asked Attorney Garganese if there were any statutory percentages.
Commissioner Blake voiced his concern with going any further with this as presented.
Manager McLemore stated, "My recommendation would be for you to authorize the Staff
to go back and recalculate the numbers, not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the total and

B. Utility/Public Works Department
Requesting Authorization For The City Manager To Execute A Purchase And Sale
Agreement For The Acquisition Of Approximately 8.7 Acres Platted As The
Hartman Industrial Park From James D. And Martha R. Hartman.
Manager McLemore advised the Commission that the following two (2) Agenda. Items
are related in one important way, and that is, "They share a common border and the
combined buildable acreage of these two (2) properties is approximately 8.7 acres from a
total gross acreage of 16.4 acres combined and in our analysis of future land areas that
could be used by the City for our Public Works type operations. If we could combine
these two properties together, it certainly would be an ideal situation for the long term
benefit of the City." Manager McLemore then added that the best thing would be that
"You probably need to look at both of them at the same time."
Deputy Mayor McLeod suggested, "I would be interested in finding out what - 2.A is -
valued at and what they're asking for 2.A, even though - and find out really what that
building is all about there." Discussion ensued on funding sources. Commissioner Blake
said, "I would like to look at a slightly different alternative, along the lines of what
Commissioner McLeod has suggested, and that is to look at that frontage property, that
2.A, somewhat more closely, and look at how that may marry up with the other property
that we'll be discussing next. That would put you pretty close to five (5) acres. W(: don't
know if it is the right five (5) acres." Manager McLemore asked, "You mean the total
between the two (2)?" Commissioner Blake responded, "Between the three and a half
acres on the property next door, and acre and a half there, it's about five (5) acres..."
Manager McLemore said, "We can look at that..." Commissioner Blake added,
"...There's more uplands..," Manager McLemore then said, "We can look at that. I
think the question is what are you going to do in the future with this type of expanded
facility." Commissioner Blake further inquired, "How large of a facility will we need in
the future?" - "How much space do we really need? I just think we need to look at this
more carefully." With brief discussion, Commissioner Cindy Gennell agreed with
Deputy Mayor McLeod's ideas.
Commissioner Miller said, "What I'm trying to avoid is two (2) years from now, us being
informed that because the property that we acquired was not adequate, and Public 'Works
has to stay."

Commissioner Miller then suggested, "I think that we need to look simultaneously at
what Commissioner McLeod brought up, which was 2.A, if that would take care of the
forty-seven to sixty thousand population, then we don't have to have a conversation two
(2) years from now about moving Public Works from where it is right now."
Commissioner Miller further suggested, "I think we ought to go and look at that 2A and
bring it back to us." Commissioner Miller further stated, "I think we ought to look at the
whole Item 'B' as proposed right now and if I misunderstood - Commissioner McLeod,
then it may be worthwhile looking seriously in - bringing back to this Commission what
you find out about property 2.A, or lot 2.A - the road there, if the property at the back is
not going to be enough, to move everything out of your current location," Mr. Lockcuff
stated, "The property in the back will be enough to move Public Works in its entirety.
Absolutely." Commissioner Miller then said, "I'm going to remember that you said that
- a year from now."
Discussion followed with Commissioner Martinez. Commissioner Martinez said, "I'd
like - for you and the City Manager to consider Commissioner McLeod's suggestion and
come back to us with some more concrete ideas - with that Parcel 2.A, and possibly an
adjoining lot to compensate - to make up the four and a half acres that you need."

Attorney Miranda Fitzgerald, Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor and Reed, P.A.:
representing HCCH addressed the Commission and stated, "We thought originally when
this was submitted, and we discussed it with your Staff, that this would come to you on
the July 9th Agenda. That didn't happen, that's why the date in there, said 'July 10th.'
The offer is still on the table, and we are here to answer questions."
Discussion.
Commissioner Blake asked, "Have we received any sort of a modified statement, an
audit, a copy of invoices? In other words, how do we know that these numbers are real
numbers other than their representations to us?" Manager McLemore said, "Certainly the
contract will be contingent upon proof of all those things, which they told us are
available." Commissioner Blake then asked, "Are any of these costs that we could derive
some benefit from if we were to purchase the land from them, through the settlement
agreement, in our own developmental efforts? In other words, are any of the benefits
transferable?" Ms. Fitzgerald stated, "Yes sir. Virtually a lot of it is. We have permits in
place. We've done the jurisdictional lines for the wetlands. They've been signed off on
by the St. Johns River Water Management District. We have applied for and are, if not
already - if we don't already have it in hand, we will have momentarily, a pennit from
CSX Railroad for crossing their right-of-way. Virtually all of the - we've done all the
soil borings on the site, we have a Phase I environmental report that has already been
given to you. All of the site investigations we have turned over to you. That doesn't
presume that you'all will just accept those necessarily without - an analysis of them, but
a lot of what these costs represent are costs that we think you will get benefit from. And I
- will be able to document everything that's in here very quickly"
Discussion ensued on whether some items were in fact transferable.
Commissioner Martinez added, "Remember in the first Agreement it was presented to us,
there were a lot of expenses here and some of them were in kind donations and we were
supposed to get a breakdown of the true expenses, which we never have received
according to the questions asked."
Ms. Fitzgerald advised the Commission, "As far as certification of the engineering and
other things, I mean if they were being paid, I assume they might recertify. If we're just
asking them to, out of the goodness of their heart, re-certify and not get paid for that, I
don't think they would be accommodating."
Ms. Fitzgerald further stated, "We do want to settle. I feel this settlement offer is fair.
We certainly have backed off from our original proposal and again I can document, these
are hard costs out of pocket. We've actually spent - HCCH has actually spent
substantially more than this in the couple of months that we've been talking. But, again,
just trying to deal with you'all in good faith, we have said we can make this happen for
$313,500.00 dollars. Weare willing to stick with that."

Commissioner Gennell suggested, "So if we're to consider reimbursing them f,or their
costs, the most that I would want to do is give them their costs that they're out, their out
of pocket costs, less the cost of the land, and let them re-sell the land. And if they sell the
land for what they say it's probably worth now, they'll get back a lot more them what
they're asking us."
Discussion followed on the draft Settlement Agreement and the proposed Property
Appraiser. Attorney Garganese stated, "They're agreeing in advance that Larry A.
Church would be an acceptable Appraiser. However, if the City wants to use another
Appraiser, then we have to find an Appraiser that they'd agree would be acceptable."
Commissioner Miller then said "Well - it needs to be reworded then, because.. .HCCH
hereby consents to the City's selection of Harry A. Church as the Appraiser, however..."
Attorney Garganese suggested, "How about as '...An acceptable Appraiser... ",
Commissioner Miller agreed with Attorney Garganese's suggestion. Further discussion.
Commissioner Blake added, "We need to have property appraised when we buy property
to make sure that we're not overpaying for it." Discussion ensued on negotiations and
the revised Settlement Agreement.
COMMISSIONER BLAKE SAID, "MY INCLINATION IS TO TAKE A lLOOK
AT WHAT HAS OCCURRED NEAR THIS PROPERTY, IN TERMS OF SALES
AND DEVELOPMENT, ETCETERA, AND I'VE COME UP WITH NUl\1[BERS
BETWEEN $305,000.00 AND $275,000.00, AND I BELIEVE THAT IN ORD1~R TO
BOTH PROTECT THE CITY, PROTECT THE CITIZENS, AND TO GE:T ON
WITH THIS AND TRY TO SETTLE THIS THING, THAT I'LL MAKE: THE
MOTION THAT WE SETTLE IT ACCORDING TO THE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE FINAL SETTLEMENT

BLAKE. SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR McLEOD. DISCUSSION.

DEPUTY MAYOR McLEOD SUGGESTED THAT "BY PURCHASING THIS
PROPERTY, IT ALSO GIVES YOU NOT ONLY 2.A, BUT IT ALSO COULD
GIVE YOU LOTS 1 AND 2 AS AN ALTERNATIVE, TO THE ADJ01NING
PROPERTY, RATHER THAN LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PARCEL Ol~ THE
OTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY, SO THERE ARE SOME OTHER
ALTERNATIVES THAT THIS DOES GIVE YOU."
MS. FITZGERALD SUGGESTED, "THE 13,000.00 DIFFERENCE IS NOT THAT
BIG A DIFFERENCE. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE, I'M ASSUl\1ING
YOU ALL WILL HAVE THE PROPERTY REAPPRAISED; I THINK YOU
NEED TO DO THAT TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY UNDER ANY
CIRCUMST ANCE, AND I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST IF THE APPRAlISAL
COMES BACK AT MORE THAN $300,000.00 THAT YOU WOULD GIVE US

THE BENEFIT OF ANY DIFFERENCE. IF IT CAME BACK AT $313,000.00
YOU WOULD AGREE TO PAY THE $313,000.00; IF IT CAME BACK AT
$305,000.00, YOU WOULD PAY THE DIFFERENCE - YOU WOULD PAY US
305,000.00 AND WE WOULD EAT THE DIFFERENCE, BASICALLY
BETWEEN 305,000.00 AND 313,000.00. AGAIN, IT WOULD BE TOTALLY
DEPENDENT ON THE VALUE OF THE LAND UNDER A NEW APPRAISAL,
AND I THINK THAT'S - IF THE PROPERTY IS IN FACT VALUED HIGHER
THAN ALL OF OUR EXPENSES, THEN I THINK THAT'S REALLY ONLY-
TO THE CITY'S BENEFIT. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT AS A
COMPROMISE TO THE MOTION."
DEPUTY MAYOR McLEOD STATED, "WHAT YOU BASICALLY SAID, THAT
IF WE WENT OUT AND REAPPRAISED THE PROPERTY AND THE
PROPERTY CAME BACK AT AN APPRAISAL OF 315,000.00; LETS SAY, WE
WOULD THEN REIMBURSE YOU, OR WE'D PAY 313,000.00 FOR THE
PROPERTY. WE WOULD HAVE NO OUT OF POCKET ADDITIONAL
EXPENSES TO PAY. YOUR PRIMARY THING THAT YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR IS THE 313,000.00?" MS. FITZGERALD SAID, "YES, SIR, THAT'S
EXACTLY RIGHT." DEPUTY MAYOR McLEOD FURTHER SAID, "IF' THE
PROPERTY CAME BACK AT 290,000.00, THEN YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
$10,000.00 WORTH OF REIMBURSEMENTS?" MS. FITZGERALD SAID,
"YES, SIR. BASED ON YOUR MOTION PREVIOUSLY AT 300,000.00. I'M
SAYING ONLY IF IT APPRAISED AT A HIGHER VALUE THAN 300,000.00
WOULD WE RE-COUP ANYTHING OVER 300,000.00 - UP TO A CAP OF
$313,000.00. "
COMMISSIONER BLAKE SAID, "IF I MAY JUST PARAPHRASE TO BE
SURE. WE WOULD PAY NOT LESS THAN 300,000.00 NOR NOT MORE THAN
$313,531.00..." MS. FITZGERALD SAID, "YES, SIR." COMMISSIONER
BLAKE CONTINUED, "...AND THAT NUMBER WOULD BE TOTALLY
DEPENDENT UPON WHERE THAT INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL COMES
IN?" MS. FITZGERALD SAID, "YES, SIR, WITH - THE ASSUMPTION THAT
WE WOULD AGREE ON AN APPRAISER, AS IS STATED - IN THE
DOCUMENT."
DEPUTY MAYOR McLEOD SAID, "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT
IN THIS AMENDMENT THAT I BELIEVE THE COMMISSIONER IS AI~OUT
TO MAKE HERE, THAT - THAT AMENDMENT WOULD INCLUDE - HCCH
GOING BACK WITHIN THE CONTRACTS THAT THEY HAVE, WITH ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS, TO INCLUDE THE CITY'S NAME ON THAT
CONTRACT, SO THEY COULD BE TRANSFERABLE TO US, PROVIDE]!) WE
HAVE A SALE, AND THAT CAN BE DONE. NOW, THERE MAY BE A COST
TO THAT, AND I WOULD THINK THAT A SMALL PERCENTAGE COST -
NORMALLY APPLIED TO THAT, I WOULD THINK THIS COMMISSIONNWOULD BE WILLING TO PICK THAT UP."

DEPUTY MAYOR McLEOD FURTHER SAID, "IN OTHER WORDS, THERE
HAS PROBABLY BEEN AN ENVIRONMENTAL DONE ON THIS THING, AND
IT'S CERTIFIED. YOU COULD GO BACK AND HAVE THAT
CERTIFICATION - HAVE THE NAME OF THE CITY OF WINTER SF'RINGS
ADDED TO IT FOR NEXT TO NOTHING, VERSUS GOING OUT AND
HAVING ANOTHER ENVIRONMENTAL. BUT I THINK OUR OWN
ORDINANCE REQUIRES US TO HAVE OUR OWN TO BEGIN WITH; BUT
THERE ARE OTHER PIECES LIKE THAT, PERHAPS THE PERMIT.
THERE'S OTHER THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT NEED TO - COULD BE
ADDRESSED AND ALL THOSE THINGS COULD BE TRANSFERRED TO THE
CITY. "
COMMISSIONER BLAKE ASKED, "AT WHOSE COST?" DEPUTY MAYOR
McLEOD RESPONDED, "I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY BE FAIR TO
SHARE THAT COST WITH BOTH PARTIES, BECAUSE THEN THEY HAVE
AN INTEREST TO MAKE SURE THAT'S AS REASONABLE AS POSSIB:LE, TO
HAVE IT DONE, AND SO DO WE."
MANAGER McLEMORE SAID, "IN THE CURRENT PROPOSED CONTRACT,
THERE IS A PROVISION THAT SAYS, THEY WILL PUT THIS PROlflERTY
ON THE MARKET IMMEDIATELY, AND IF DURING THE DUE DILIGENCE
PERIOD THEY CAN SELL IT, THEY WILL SELL IT. AND THAT, IN THAT
SITUATION, THEN WHATEVER THE VALUE THEY GET FOR THAT
PROPERTY, WE WOULD REIMBURSE THA T DIFFERENCE, UP TO
$313,000.00. NOW, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING HERE IS IF THEY SE:LL IT
DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME THEN WE WOULD REIMBURSE THEM UP
TO $300,000.00." COMMISSIONER BLAKE ADDED, "THAT'S CORRECT."
MANAGER McLEMORE ADDED, "SO, I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT
OUT. "
DEPUTY MAYOR McLEOD ASKED, "BUT WHERE IS THEIR INCENTIVE?
SOMEBODY COMES AND OFFERS THEM $200,000.00 TOMORROW~, WHY
WOULDN'T THEY SELL IT? WHERE'S THE PENALTY? I MEAN, IS THAT
IN THIS CONTRACT? I DON'T SEE THAT IN THIS CONTRACT. I ][)ON'T
SEE WHERE IF THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THEM TO BE
ABLE TO SELL IT AND KEEP THE PROPERTY. LIKE I SAID, I'LL GIVE
THEM 100,000.00 TOMORROW FOR IT, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY THE
DIFFERENCE." MANAGER McLEMORE SAID, "BUT THE INTENT HERE
WAS THAT WE WOULD PAY THEM ONLY UP TO THE 78,000.00 - 78,000.00
OUT OF POCKET WOULD BE THE MAX THAT WE WOULD PAY. IF THEY
SELL IT FOR 100,000.00, WE'RE ONLY OUT - THAT WASN'T OUR INTENT
TO BUILD IN THAT - INSURANCE FOR THEM." DEPUTY MAYOR M(:LEOD
SAID, "IT DOESN'T SAY THAT THOUGH IN YOUR CONTRACT."
MANAGER McLEMORE SAID, "OKAY - WE CAN BRING IT UP TO YOU -

MAYOR McLEOD THEN SAID, "I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM PUTTING IT
ON THE MARKET RON, BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE HAVE LAST
REFUSAL, OKAY. THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THAT SALE,
BECAUSE IF IT IS A RIDICULOUS SALE, THEN YOU WOULDN'T 'NANT
IT. "
MS. FITZGERALD ADDED, "THERE'S REALLY NOT AN AFFIRMATIVE
OBLIGATION IN THE CONTRACT. WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT. I
DIDN'T PUT IT IN THIS VERSION. IT SAYS THAT WE - THAT THE SELLER
MAY PLACE A 'FOR SALE' SIGN. IT'S NOT AN OBLIGATION TO DO IT. I
THINK, BASED ON WHERE WE ARE, IT PROBABLY DOES MAKE SENSE
JUST TO NOT EVEN ADDRESS IT."
MS. FITZGERALD ADVISED THE COMMISSION THAT THIS HAD COME
FROM, "THE COVER LETTER THAT I DID. I SAID THAT WE WOULD GO
AHEAD AND LIST THE PROPERTY. WE HAVE NOT DONE THAT.'!' MS.
FITZGERALD ADDED, "THE CONTRACT ONLY - MAKES IT PERMISSIVE.
IT DOES NOT MAKE IT MANDATORY. AND THAT'S IN THE VERY END,
THAT'S IN PARAGRAPH TWENTY-THREE (23) ON THE SIGNATURE

PROVISION, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE
CITY." MS. FITZGERALD STATED, "RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY. AND I THINK
WHERE WE'RE GOING NOW, YOU KNOW TO ME - IF YOU ALL ARE
INCLINED TO GO WITH THE ALTERNATIVE THAT I SUGGESTED, I
THINK THAT MAY BE JUST THE SIMPLEST THING TO DEAL 'VITH.
LET'S SEE WHAT THE APPRAISAL COMES BACK AS AND..." MANAGER

Discussion ensued on vested rights. Commissioner Blake asked, "Where in here is there
a provision for an existing use that would not be in conformance with this Ordinance, and
if that existing use ceased to do business for a period of time, does it retain its vested
right, or does it not? Or over what period of time?" Attorney Garganese sugge:;ted, "If
you want to make it abundantly clear, we could make a minor modification to Se:ction 7.
- and add some language - or until the existing gasoline station is abandoned or
discontinued, for a certain period of time." Commissioner Blake asked for a
recommendation from Attorney Garganese. Attorney Garganese suggested that ninety
(90) days would be a "reasonable" time. Commissioner Blake said, "Well, I'm willing to
see us put that provision in. I think we intended to have it in. Just to make sure, that 'If a
non-conforming vested use ceases to do business in ninety (90) days' is fine for me."
