So 1 would like the Board to look at that." Commissioner Sally McGinnis remarked, "I agree. It is an issue." Commissioner Krebs added, "To say three (3) consecutive, that is, well that is three-quarters of the year, three- quarters of their meetings, seventy-five percent (75%) of it - that is ridiculous so, 1 - think we should look at that issue." Commissioner McGinnis added, "I agree." Commissioner Krebs noted, "For this Board."

Mayor Bush then said, "Commissioners, in agreement?" Commissioner McGinnis said, "Yes." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "In the meantime, if something came up say in the [Seminole] Chronicle that says the City is looking for V olunteers, specifically ones who have some expertise in the area of Retirement Plans or Pension Management, that would be great." Mayor Bush stated, "So, the first meeting in December, you should be prepared to make your Appointments, on or before."

Discussion ensued on surface water and reclaimed water. Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "There is a lot of attention being given to the utilization of surface water for projects such as these and 1 don't see us using the same terminology here; and 1 was wondering if there is a reason for that?" Deputy Mayor Blake added, "I hear a lot of talk around the statement - about the utilization of surface water for irrigation purposes which is what we are talking about..." Mr. Lockcuff said, "... Yes." Deputy Mayor Blake continued, "As opposed to using reclaimed water which is a different kind of resource - a surface delivery method would be the same, using a different supply resource." Manager McLemore stated, "But they're mixed together." Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Blake noted, "I understand they are mixed together. 1 am talking about the issue of whether or not it goes into the pipes - there are 1 think, a lot of environmentalist groups out there that are very concerned about the utilization of surface water for this purpose - and 1 don't know what their arguments are, 1 am just telling you from the background noise that 1 have heard, that there is an issue out there, and 1 don't think we should enter into that blindly." Regarding surface water, Commissioner Krebs suggested, "Maybe we should find out what it means." Discussion ensued on protozoas and other organisms. Commissioner Krebs added, "I think we should really look at the pros and cons of that." Commissioner McGinnis noted, "That is what this says - 'Enter into a Joint Planning Agreement related to the feasibility and desirability." Commissioner Krebs asked, "Will we get that information?" Commissioner McGinnis said to Manager McLemore, "Would you address these issues when you are looking at this?" Manager McLemore stated, "Absolutely." Commissioner Gilmore said, "My opinion on this is that the Cities and the Counties are all looking at various uses of reclaimed water and surface waters and - 1 don't think this Commission should get involved in micro-managing the programs that are going on." Manager McLemore stated, "We are not going to go too far with it, until we raise the flag with you and get your nod to continue with it." Commissioner Krebs asked for more information on this issue, and added, "One of things 1 am concerned about are health issues and things like that." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - OCTOBER 24, 2005 PAGE 12 OF 16 Manager McLemore stated, "We have been developing information to bring back to you to allow you to make a go-forward decision, and so that is under prior authority of this Commission, to get you exactly to that point that you want to be at; we have to develop all that information to bring to you, so you can make a good decision. Then, Oviedo walks in and says we like that idea too, can we work together with you, so we don't need to build two (2) different intake stations and treatment plants, let's just build one (1) and then it will make the system more efficient, maybe. So, this is only to - authorize us to go forward and explore that other alternative if we were to go together, are there benefits to both parties. Again, the intention, of which is to give you that information you are asking for, in order to make an intelligent decision." Commissioner Krebs said, "Will it contain environmental information and health issues..." Manager McLemore responded, ".. .Absolutely." DEPUTY MAYOR BLAKE STATED, "I DO NOT THINK THAT ANYBODY UP HERE, FROM WHAT I AM HEARING, IS NOT IN FAVOR OF GOING FORWARD ALONG WITH THE CITY OF OVIEDO IN EXPLORING THIS OPTION. I THINK WHAT STAFF IS REALLY HEARING IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO NEED A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THIS BEFORE WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE ARE GOING TO START CONNECTING THE PIPES, AND BASED ON THAT - I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE ITEM WITH A CAVEAT TO STAFF THAT THE COMMENTS OF THE COMMISSION THIS EVENING ARE NOT TO BE MISSED."
