PRESENTATION BY AMATEUR RADIO & CITIZENS BAND REPRESENTATIVE:
Gordon Fella, 150 Pineda, Longwood, made a presentation for a
Seminole County Civil Defense Auxiliary Radio Service Plan from
volunteers in the county, which would be of no cost to the Cities.
It was the consensus of those present that he should contact Fire
Chief Kaiser and then spread through the communities, working with
the fire chiefs, noting that the volunteers would have no authority,
but only offer assistance to the cities. The volunteers would sign
a release of all liability and would help to set up a plan that would
be beneficial to the communities.
MUNICIPAL POWER USAGES (Agenda Update)
Maitland City Manager George McMahon gave a history on the Local
Government Task Force that has been appointed to study the Florida
Power Rate Increase. Florida Power is asking for a rate increase
of $99 million and the Task Force didn't consider that equitable and
fair. The following items were addressed:
-problems caused by timing of any increase on existing budgets on
rate allocation and rate design matters.
-rates and charges for street lighting, etc. 1.86% charge was
inappropriate for street lighting.

Municipal Power Usages continued
-Specific Proposals included elimination of rate schedule M-l entirely
and transfer each type of local government use to the appropriate
"Charge service" or light rate schedule and combine old lighting -
street lighting and private area lighting.
Florida Power will be required to rejustify a number of its proposals.
The Power Companies were represented by Barry Larson, Longwood
District Manager, Bruce Berger, Florida Power & Light Company,

ground vs. overhead lines and notllify each city official of the line
modifications on the easements.
