Mayor Sheppard pointed out the cause of the pollution and discussed alternative solutions of putting weed eating fish in the lake or aquatic weed spraying programs. Chairman Vickers reported there was a very informative booklet entitled IIlake Front Property Home Owner's Guidell which could be obtained through Aaron Dowl ing of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council for $1.00 per booklet. Upon further discussion of the problem, it was pointed out that the Fish and Game Commission would permit the entry of fish into private lakes if 66 2/3 of the property owners on the lake want it; however, they must submit a detailed application for the permit and must also specify how they will pay for the program. There are grant programs for those lakes having public access. Commissioner Glenn reported that as of January 1st, the Department of Natural Resources appears to be turning over all their aquatic weed spray to the St. John's Water Management District.

Chairman Vickers brought up the subject of the power rate increase and how it would affect the county and cities, and requested this be on the next agenda. It appears there is a movement across the state to at least request any of these large increases, not only out of the rate itself but also the fuel adjustment, be deferred for municipal ities for a year since their budgets have been adopted. .- Page 3, Council of Local Governments in Seminole County, November 5, 1980 - Chairman Vickers brought up the resolution regarding the utility and franchise taxes to be treated the same as ad valorem taxes and recommended they pursue this further by contacting the local legislative delegation.
