Replying to Mr. McCoy's question regarding a water meter for reclaimed water, City
Manager Ronald W. McLemore said, "We are attempting - trying to get into metering
these as soon as possible. I would have to know - where you live and all of that - to try
and sit down with you after the Meeting or try to work that out with you."
Additionally, Mr. McCoy mentioned his interest in doing an "Absorption Cost Study for
defense of your Building Department Fees" at a lower price. With discussion, Mayor
Partyka suggested that Mr. McCoy "Submit your name and address and qualifications
like we do with all firms and have it on hand in the files, so when things like this do come
up, you can be on the list and actually get a request - on the Bid List." Manager

K. Office Of The City Manager
County Manager Kevin Grace Requesting To Address The Commission Regarding
The Commission's Decision Of August 12, 2002 To Deny Funding Of ADA
ParatraDsit Services For FY 2003.
Seminole County Manager Kevin Grace introduced members of his staff and briefly
spoke of the history of the ADA Paratransit Services. Then Mr. Grace said that the
Mayors and Managers group recommended, "To take for a short term solution, for one
(1) year only, to take the nine cent ($.09) - use it to pay for fixed routes services for one
(1) year and then have the cities and the County share the cost of the ADA - based on
where the trips are generated from." Mr. Grace added, "The bottom line from the County
is we're asking you guys to help us out this year and help us meet that deficit in the way
that the Mayors and Managers group recommended."

Discussion ensued on the City Commission's previous Motion and their concern with
being reimbursed. Manager McLemore explained that the Commission had said, "When
you do have funds available, we want to get paid back over a period of time." Mr. Grace
then said, "Once you develop a long-term funding solution there is going to be extra
money there to go back and pay back; and I can't tell you right now without knowing
what that solution is whether that will be the case or not."
Further discussion.
"MY MOTION IS THAT WE COOPERATE IN THE AMOUNT AGREED UPON
BY ALL THE OTHER CITIES, OUR AMOUNT BEING $38,037.00, FOR ONE (1)
YEAR ONLY IN GOOD FAITH FOR THE ACTIVITIES THAT WERE
ENGAGED UPON AT THE MAYORS AND MANAGERS MEETINGS."
MOTION BY DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL.
MOTION DIED FOR A LACK OF A SECOND.
With further brief discussion, Commissioner Blake said to Mr. Grace, "I just wanted to
point out that our position still holds, that we will front the money, but that we would
expect to be paid back - some sort of reimbursement - two (2) years."
REGULAR
L. Community Development Department
Requests That The City Commission, In Its Capacity As The DRC For Issues In The
Town Center, Consider A Request Of The James Doran Company To Determine
Hair Care (Barber And Beauty Facilities) And Tanning Facilities Appropriate
Within The Town Center.
Mr. John Baker, AICP, Current Planning Coordinator, Community Development
Department introduced the Agenda Item.
Commissioner Blake voiced his concern with some Nail Shops that have an "Enormous
odor discharge" and "As to what sort of effect it might have on neighboring tenants or
neighboring parcels if it did not have some sort of an air system intact."
Mr. Raymond Sherman 1020 Turkey Hollow Circle, Winter Springs: addressed the
Commission concerning fumes and odors.
Deputy Mayor spoke of a shop in Casselberry that "The smells were absolutely horrible
and after some length of time I know that someone came in and I thought it might have
been the City of Casselberry - came in and required them to put in all kinds of extra super
ventilation and things, air cleaning things and I can tell you since then, I didn't even
know the Nail Salon was operating down there. So I would suggest that somebody on
our Staff see what it is in Casselberry, if it is a particular requirement Casselberry
imposed over the State regulation or if that was a new State regulation but there is a

means of removing those odors so you don't even smell them in the same building." Mr.
Baker responded, "I will find out."
Mr. Shane Doran, James Doran Company, 216 Seven Farms Drive, Suite 200,
Charleston, South Carolina: spoke of Use categories and requested a letter to Manager
McLemore for verification of Permitted Uses.
Discussion.
Tape I/Side B
With further discussion, Manager McLemore remarked that, "When you have stated
Permitted Uses you don't have to come to this Commission to get approval of those
stated Permitted Uses. One that you would have to get approval for - those that are not
stated or they are not clear and what I sent you back was a list of those things that we
thought were pretty straight forward in the Code and those that we didn't think were quite
straight forward or were not addressed. So, if you want for a comfort zone for them to
ratify those other Uses that were put in the letter, I certainly don't have a problem with
that but I think you are allowed to do them anyhow." Mr. Doran asked, "So what are you
considering this evening? Are you considering all the Uses on my sheet or just the three
(3)?" Manager McLemore replied, "No, just the three (3)."
Mayor Partyka stated, "According to everything that we have and according to the letter
that I have read here, what the City Manager is saying - all these Uses excluding Hair
Salons, Nail Salons, and Tanning Salons are approved, they are a Permitted Use. Is that
correct?" Manager McLemore responded, "That is my perspective. They are stated in
the plan." Mr. Doran asked, "So swimming pool supplies are okay?"
Commissioner Edward Martinez, Jr. stated "Point of Order" and commented on Uses
and the Agenda Item.
Attorney Garganese stated, "I just would caution the Commission to handle this matter
with some formality because the way the Code currently reads, as the City Manager
indicated, if it is a listed Permitted Use already in the Town Center Code then a person
has a right to do that. However, if the Use is not specifically listed, the Town Center
Code requires three (3) things before this Commission can approve a Use that is not
listed. One (1), that the Use that is proposed is not specifically limited to other Zoning
Districts. For example, like Adult Entertainment Establishments - that is limited to
Industrial only. The other requirement is that the Use proposed has to be consistent with
the other Uses that are listed in the Town Center Code; and third, the Use has to be in
harmony and meet the spirit of the Town Center Master Plan which this Commission
approved, I think even before the Town Center District Code. Furthermore, Attorney
Garganese stated, "I don't know if this is the Master Plan or not but I pulled the
Commercial Planning Study that was prepared for the Town Center and with respect to
Beauty Salons, they were talking about having a potential Beauty Salon of 1200 square

feet in the Town Center. This was your Economic Study so I would look at things like
this and - if you approve an additional Us,e just be cognizant that - you may want to
approve it for this one (1) instance but not open the door for several types of the same
business to be located in the Town Center. I don't think that is the way the Code was
drafted. It is like a 'Use on Review.' Again, just to sum it up - I would handle it with
some bit of formality."
Mayor Partyka then said, "Mr. Baker basically said, this typical Use and I see a lot of this
in Downtowns and Town Centers, etc., may have been an oversight because this is not an
unusual kind of situation - that is what he is saying. So, if it is something that is normal
and not unusual then ultimately do we have to do some kind of administrative
correction?" Attorney Garganese replied, "If it was an oversight then you can change the
Code to specifically put this Use in as Permitted without any limitation. But if it is not
specifically listed, there are limitations and I am saying you may want to handle it with
some formality so you don't have multiple types of these businesses throughout the Town
Center. "
Manager McLemore suggested, "I would say we might require some type of a - for the
Salons, a certificate from a Mechanical Engineer relative to the ventilation system, which
we could do - but I don't think we have a problem here."
Attorney Garganese stated, "My understanding from listening to the City Manager and
Staffs recommendation is that they believe this type of Use should just be permitted
within the Town Center and the Commission can make that determination tonight and if
you want to just make that blanket - decision then we would probably follow up with a
Code provision to specifically list these types of Uses as Permitted Uses." Manager
McLemore added, "And we might could make that language a little broader so that
everything doesn't have to come back to you."
Commissioner Blake said, "If we do any change at the moment in the Ordinance, we
amend the Code then I think we should have - not a process that would allow anything to
come in and get voted in all at once - I think that is too broad, too open, and too easy to
lose control; but a cleaner process available for us that when we do see - clearly a glaring
omission from the Permitted Uses such as for instance a Hair Salon, I think there would
be a way to allow that Use without going through - we are talking two (2) additional
Meetings, another month, advertisements, amending the Ordinance - it is a very
cumbersome activity to change the Code. So I would like to have an easier mechanism
developed that would allow that, perhaps by Resolution if it could be amended that way,
that is official. We do other things by Resolution that we allow for by Code." Attorney
Garganese stated, "In this case - I call it a 'Use on Review' decision under the Town
Center Code - you have got some formality."
Pool Supply stores and Special Permits were next discussed.

Deputy Mayor Cindy Gennell stated, "Point of Order" and asked that Mr. Doran be
allowed to sit down while addressing the City Commission.
Attorney Garganese advised the Commission that "For this evening, a Motion could be in
order and then that would be it. In the future, I would recommend that Staff have an
application for this type of request - it is a 'Use on Review' that only the DRC
[Development Review Committee] can approve." Attorney Garganese added, "We can
follow up with some written Resolution that states exactly what the Commission
approves tonight for the Mayor's signature."
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DO APPROVE AS THE
DRC [DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE], THE HAIR SALON, NAIL
SALON, TANNING SALON THIS EVENING - HOWEVER, THAT STAFF WILL
BRING BACK TO US AN APPLICATION FORM FOR APPROVAL FOR IN
THE FUTURE THAT MAKES THIS A VERY SIMPLE PROCESS AND ONE
THAT HAS A DIRECTION IN WHICH THINGS MUST COME THROUGH THE
PROCESS." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER McLEOD. SECONDED BY
COMMISSIONER MILLER. DISCUSSION.
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION TO STRIKE
THE NAIL SALON. I THINK THAT SHOULD BE BY SPECIAL EXCEPTION."
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION BY COMMISSIONER BLAKE.
AMENDMENT DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
COMMISSIONER ROBERT S. MILLER ADDED, "AN OBSERVATION I
THOUGHT THAT WAS CLEAR, THAT WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS
EARLIER THAT WHATEVER THE REQUIREMENTS WERE, THAT THE
STATE, COUNTY, OR CITY MIGHT REQUIRE FOR NAIL SALONS, WOULD
BE INCLUDED."
MANAGER McLEMORE THEN NOTED, "WHY DON'T YOU JUST PUT IN
YOUR MOTION THAT WE REQUIRE CERTIFICATION FROM A
MECHANICAL ENGINEER." COMMISSIONER McLEOD STATED, "RON
[McLEMORE], THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING. IF IT IS REUQIRED BY
STATE, BY CODE, OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT WILL PICK UP ON THAT
AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS."

Attorney Garganese stated, "Mayor, just for the record, I am just going to prepare a very
simple Resolution for the Mayor's signature that is going to state that Hair and Nail
Salons are a Permitted Use within the Town Center." Mr. Doran asked, "So Tanning
wasn't in that?" Mayor Partyka replied, "All three (3)." Attorney Garganese restated
that, "Hair, Nails, Tanning are now a Permitted Use within the Town Center."
Mr. Doran spoke again about Uses. Mayor Partyka stated, "What this Commission has
said a few minutes ago, which the City Manager has confirmed is that all of these Uses
that we talked about are permitted in a Town Center Zoning excluding the three (3) items
that were on bottom and then this Commission approved that just a few minutes ago."
Manager McLemore added, "And the one exempted by Special Exception - that one we
have to follow up on, another process."

M. Community Development Department

Town Center, Consider A Request Of The Thomas Sign And Awning Company To
Interpret "Pan-Formed" Acrysteel Sign Faces, Surrounded By Aluminum To Be
Permissible Finish Materials For Signs With The Town Center.
Mr. Baker introduced the Agenda Item to the Commission.
With discussion, Manager McLemore inquired, Are the sign panels on 434 - the signs on
434 going to utilize this? Mr. Baker responded, "No Sir, they are not illuminated."
Manager McLemore stated, "Great. This is just on the front of Publix?" Mr. Baker then
said, "That is correct Sir." Manager McLemore then stated, "That's good. Do you agree
Shane [Doran] with that?" Mr. Doran responded, "Yes." Mayor Partyka added, "Mr.
Doran agrees with that comment."
Discussion.

GENNELL. DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL WAS THEN ASKED TO CLARIFY
THE MOTION. DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL STATED, "THE STAFF

Discussion.
Mr. Shane Doran, James Doran Company, 216 Seven Farms Drive, Suite 200,
Charleston, South Carolina: remarked about their lighting selection for the Town
Center.
Manager McLemore stated, "John [Baker] is probably right if we didn't have a set of
Lighting Standards in our Code, but you have an approved plan that was approved by this
Commission sitting as the Staff in the DRC [Development Review Committee]; and you
don't have a right to change those plans unless it comes back to this Commission to be
changed." Mr. Doran then stated, "You are absolutely correct. You are absolutely
correct on that, by the way."
Discussion ensued regarding whether plans were submitted to the City's Building
Department Staff.
Commissioner McLeod asked Mr. Doran, "Are these plans that you are talking about -
November 26t\ approved by DRC [Development Review Committee]7" Mr. Doran
responded, "They were not, but a permit was issued on them." With a review of the plans
and related discussion, Commissioner McLeod stated, "So, basically what I can see here
- you may have gotten a set approved by the Building Department, or a permit of a
change in lighting, but it is a different set of plans that were submitted to the Building
Department, than the set of plans that came before the DRC [Development Review
Committee] to be approved to go to the Building Department in the first place." Further,

Commissioner McLeod added, "But something changed. The only approved set I know
of right now are sixteen foot (16') poles, and I understand you have got thirty foot (30')
over there."
Next, Commissioner McLeod stated, "If you will count the number of poles that you have
on the set that we approved, and the set that you now have has a different quantity of
poles for the same area - I know there is a quantity difference - you now have less. The
poles are a little higher, but you also run less conduit to the poles, you have a savings.
You probably have less wire required to get to the poles, you have a savings."
Commissioner McLeod added, "I think then the question here at this time is if you really
feel you haven't had a chance to check into this thing and you feel differently than where
the City is, I guess I would have to ask you to please bring back the documentation to
substantiate - the changes made with some approved stamping from the Building
Department." With additional discussion, Commissioner McLeod stated, "I have asked
the Building Official, 'Did you approve any other drawings of lighting, changes, poles
that went to this project' and that comment was 'No. ",
Mr. Dennis Franklin, Building Official, Community Development Department stated,
"The only set of - lighting plans that were approved by the Building Department were on
the plans submitted on the 12th of October Submittal. Those are the only ones that we've
received. We've not received this - the plans from November - that Mr. Doran is
implying. A permit was not issued for those lights. The lights have been installed
without a permit. We have extended a courtesy to them contingent upon them getting the
process going and because they were on a time schedule to do inspections on those on the
plans that were submitted to us. So, we have overextended ourselves I believe to help
them and I am sorry but I don't think that they have followed through and there is no -
approved set of plans for the lights for - your plans of the 30th. The only ones are the
October 12th plans - that have been approved." Mayor Partyka then asked, "And you are
saying there are no permits either?" Mr. Franklin replied, "No permits either for those
lights." Mayor Partyka inquired, "Are they required to have permits?" Mr. Franklin
answered, "Yes, they are. You have foundations for the lights and you also have
electrical connections required for a building permit."
"BASED ON THE LAST STATEMENT BY MR. DORAN THAT HE DID NOT
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEARCH FOR RECORDS, REVIEW RECORDS
OR BRING RECORDS - I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE SUPPORT THE
MANAGER'S POSITION WHICH CALLS FOR - TO WITHHOLD THE C.O.'S
[CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY] ON THE DORAN PROJECT UNTIL SUCH
TIME AS A RESOLUTION TO THE LIGHTING ISSUES ARE RESOLVED."

COMMISSIONER McLEOD SAID, "I THINK WE ARE GOING REAL STRONG
TO SAY THAT WE HOLD THE C.O.'S [CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY] ON
THIS THING - I MEAN THERE CAN BE A RESOLUTION. I THINK THE
PUBLIX BUILDING DEFINITELY NEEDS TO GET OPENED HERE. I THINK
MAYBE - I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO RESOLVE
THIS THING. I THINK IT IS PROBABLY SOMETHING - THIRTY (30), SIXTY
(60) DAYS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE RESOLVED - MUTUALLY." FURTHER,
COMMISSIONER McLEOD STATED, "I WOULD RATHER SEE THAT A
COUPLE OF THE MAIN ONES RIGHT NOW OF THE C.O.'S [CERTIFICATE
OF OCCUPANCY) ARE ISSUED, BUT BEFORE ANY FURTHER BUILDING
PERMITS OR - MAYBE NOT PERMITS, BUT BEFORE ANY OF - THE
BUILDINGS THAT YOU HAVE GOT COMING OUT OF THE GROUND -
ALLOWED TO BE C.O.'D [CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY); HOWEVER
ANY FUTURE BUILDINGS COMING OUT OF THE GROUND BEFORE THEY
ARE C.O.'D [CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY) WOULD HAVE TO HAVE
THIS RESOLVED. NOW, I THINK THAT IS BEING FAIR FOR BOTH
PARTIES TO GET THE INFORMATION TOGETHER, SIT DOWN, TALK
ABOUT IT, LOOK AT IT."
MAYOR PARTYKA SUGGESTED, "COMMISSIONER McLEOD, IT MAY BE
IN ORDER SINCE THERE WAS A MOTION AND A SECOND - YOU MIGHT
W ANT TO MAKE THAT AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION."
"I WOULD LIKE TO - MAKE THAT AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION
THAT WE NOT HOLD THE C. OF O. [CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY) ON
THESE PARTICULAR - I THINK THERE IS WHAT THREE (3), FOUR (4) -
BUILDINGS PRESENTLY - MY MOTION IS THOSE THAT ARE OUT OF THE
GROUND AT THE PRESENT TIME NOT TO HOLD THE C.O.'S
[CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY) - C. OF O. [CERTIFICATE OF
OCCUPANCY], ON THEM - BUT THAT WE WILL RESOLVE THIS BY THE
TIME AND NOT TO HOLD UP ANY FUTURE BUILDING PERMITS;
HOWEVER, WE WILL HOLD FUTURE BUILDINGS C OF O'S [CERTIFICATE
OF OCCUPANCY]. SO, THAT DOESN'T STOP YOUR CONSTRUCTION BUT
IT DOES GIVE YOU A WINDOW DOWN THE ROAD THAT YOUR
BUILDINGS WILL NOT GET THE C. OF O. [CERTIFICATE OF
OCCUPANCY) UNTIL THIS MATTER IS ABSOLUTELY SET DOWN,
BROUGHT TO A HEAD AND RESOLVED." AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION

LEAVING IT OPEN - LIKE NINETY (90) DAYS, 120 DAYS JUST - WHAT WE
ARE LOOKING AT HERE IS NINETY-SIX (96) DOWN TO SIXTY-EIGHT (68),

COMES FIRST. BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE THE C.O. [CERTIFICATE OF
OCCUPANCY] FOR THE NEXT 120 DAYS - THEN MAYBE WE DON'T
RESOLVE THIS FOR - TWO (2) YEARS. I THINK IF IT IS AGREED THAT
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, I
WOULD RATHER PUT A TIME ON IT - AND THEN IT HAS TO BE
CORRECTED."
COMMISSIONER McLEOD SAID, "THE REASON MR. MILLER I DIDN'T
HAVE A TIME FRAME - RIGHT NOW, YOU ONLY HAVE FIVE (5)
BUILDINGS THAT ARE OUT OF THE GROUND OVER THERE, FIVE (5)
BUILDINGS ARE NOT GOING TO SUSTAIN WHAT NEEDS TO BE
SUSTAINED FOR THAT AREA, EITHER FINANCIALLY NOR BY US -
THEREFORE IT IS GOING TO BE IN BOTH INTERESTS TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. IT IS GOING TO BE IN BOTH
INTERESTS, AND MR. DORAN BY THE TIME HE GETS HIS SIXTH
BUILDING OF GETTING A C. OF O. [CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY],
THAT IS GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO RESOLVE THIS
AND IT COULD BE THAT THE POLES HAVE TO CHANGE. MY MOTION
DOESN'T CHANGE BY A DATE - THE DATE IS PRESET DUE TO THE FACT
OF WHENEVER HE COMES IN FOR THAT C. OF O. [CERTIFICATE OF

DISCUSSION.
Commissioner Blake stated "Point of Order" and commented on the recent Amendment.
COMMISSIONER BLAKE STATED, "WHAT I WOULD ASK FOR IS TO HOLD
UP ANY C.O.'S [CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY), UNTIL WE HAVE AN
AGREEMENT; AND THAT AGREEMENT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS FINISHED,
THAT AGREEMENT MEANS THAT WE HAVE A WELL UNDERSTOOD
TIMELINE, A PLAN OF ATTACK TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND IF WE
AGREE THAT IT IS A MONTH OUT, OR THREE (3) MONTHS OUT, 120
DAYS, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO MEASURE IT, THEN THAT IS BASED IN
THE AGREEMENT. ONCE THE AGREEMENT IS IN PLACE, THEN C.O.'S

THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION."

With further discussion, Commissioner Blake stated, "A set of plans that went through
this Commission, I don't know that there are any or would have been any that would
have approved any changes from the site plan change or the site plan that was approved
back in October of '01, and I would just caution that if there was a set of plans that were
approved as you call it on the Consent Agenda on or about March 11th and we find those,
and there are substantive changes on there, and those changes aren't noted and listed,
then I think I will have a big issue with that."
Discussion
Manager McLemore added, "We need an Agreement with this guy. He either agrees or
he doesn't agree and he accepts the Commission's position that those plans were not
intended to be approved by this Commission and he is willing to rectify it." Mayor
Partyka stated to Manager McLemore, "I believe this Commission is saying that you now
have the ability to sit down with Mr. Doran, knowing full well what this Commission has
said, that that issue has to be resolved, and based on that final resolution, or final issue, or
final determination, you come back to the Commission and then determine what needs to
be done."
Furthermore, Mayor Partyka pointed out that "This Commission has made the Motion
that you and he have to see what you come up with. Ultimately, that may be your
position, City Manager, not to say, but you have to come back after your discussion with
Mr. Doran - and Mr. Doran understands how serious this is from this Commission's
position. "

Deputy Mayor Gennell inquired, "This is a Public Hearing. Does that mean that the
adjoining property owner has been notified of this request?" Mr. Baker responded, "We
have not sent out notices to the abutters, but we will be posting this in the newspaper."
Deputy Mayor Gennell then said, "I would think - we have been through this before -
this is something that may impact just one (1) homeowner but I would rather - err on the
side of caution than to just say well they have got to read the paper. We only have to
mail to really one (1) homeowner. I think that person deserves to at least have the
consideration of being notified that this is being considered adjacent to his property - just
in case, because of these slopes and all this drainage stuff and everything; in case it might
adversely impact him, I would hope that we would direct Staff to do that."
"I MOVE THAT WE MOVE THIS ON TO SECOND READING AND ALSO
WITH THE CONDITION THAT THE ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNER IS
NOTIFIED BY MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT CERTIFIED REQUESTED - THE

Brief discussion ensued regarding excused absences and the implied intent of excuses not
being held against the Member. Mayor Partyka asked the Members of the Commission,
"Do we have excused absences or not?" Commissioner Miller said, "I think we should
leave it the way it is. I don't think excused ought to be put in there." Commissioner
Blake said, "Agreed." Commissioner Martinez stated, "Agreed." Deputy Mayor Gennell
said, "I agree with the question. That is - quite some time ago - we had a P&Z [Planning
and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency] Member who was going to be working out of
town for several months and he actually came in front of the Commission and asked the
Commission's consent for him to be absent for two (2) months or something; and I would
not like to rule out that possibility if we had a valued Board Member who wanted to
come to us - I agree with not having excused absences." Commissioner McLeod
responded to the question by stating, "I agree but I disagree with seven (7) days. I think
it ought to be five (5), that's pretty generous." Mayor Partyka said, "At this point in time,
no excuses."
Then Mayor Partyka said to the Members of the Commission, ''Now, the next one (1) key
issue is instead of - two numbers, five (5) or seven (7)" absences. Commissioner Blake
stated, "I don't think you can go with a fixed number like five (5) or seven (7) and
achieve what we are trying to do here." Commissioner Martinez stated, "Seven (7)."
Commissioner McLeod said, "Five (5)." Commissioner Miller responded, "Seven (7)."
Commissioner Blake stated, "Thirty percent (30%)." Deputy Mayor Gennell stated,
"Seven (7)." Summarizing, Mayor Partyka said, "So it is seven (7) right now. Seven (7)
and no excuses."
Commissioner Martinez inquired, "Are the absences - absences from one (1) year? Will
they carryover to the next year, or at the end of the year is it wiped out?" Attorney
Garganese clarified, "It is rolling - except that if they get reappointed, then they start
with a clean slate - they start all over, if they get reappointed - it carries over."
Commissioner Miller stated, "Point of Order" and spoke of moving the Meeting along.
