Reports:
Chairman Constantine reported that he received a letter today from Pete Knowles,
City Manager of Sanford, to Mr. T. Duncan Rose, County Administrator, concerning the
double taxation issue. The County was to have responded by January 15th, in the
affirmative, as to a cooperative solution. They have done that. The County was to
offer proposals to solve inequities in the law enforcement services in patrol and
investigation prior to May 1, 1983. We have not seen that. The cities were to
review the County proposals prior to June 1, then the County was to reflect in the
County budget any resolutions and notify the cities by August 1, 1983.

Chairman Constantine also reported that all members have been given
copies of a letter sent to Bobby Brantley, Chairman of the Seminole
County Legislative Delegation concerning the support of legislation
and opposed legislation by the Council of Local Governments as
directed.
Chairman Constantine reported the next meeting will be in Altamonte
Springs and the double taxation issue will be on the agenda and
also Pete Knowles will be there to discuss the new legislation.
There is a possibility the gas tax issue will be discussed.
Winter Springs Deputy Mayor reported that Commissioner Martin
Trencher resigned today and Winter Springs will be looking for a
replacement.
Chairman Sandra Glenn reported that the Board of County Commissioners
directed her, County Administrator, T. Duncan Rose,and a member of
the staff of the Public Works Department to meet with all the
cities to discuss the possibility of a gas tax. After meeting with
each of the cities, she asked the cities to discuss the issue among
their commissions and councils and to report back this evening to
the Council of Local Governments Meeting. Commissioner Glenn said
she was here this evening to hear the reports.
She said she was directed to have Staff prepare a package and corne
to each City and tell them these are the type projects the County
is interested in if the gas tax goes through. She said she asked
the cities to look at their transportation needs and how it would
affect and help, because the roads that are being talked about are
collector/connector roads that serve all traffic in Seminole County.
Chairman Glenn said she wanted to know if each City was willing to
write a resolution to support a one cent, two cent, three cent or
four cent increase for gas taxes for road improvements.
Upon polling of the individual members of CALNO, some members
opposed the gas tax but stated that they were not representing
their entire commission. Other members stated that they favored
the tax but could not speak for their entire commission. It was
the general concensus of the members to oppose the gas tax and
not transmit a resolution from CALNO supporting the tax.
After discussion with all the representatives, Chairman Glenn said
she would report back to the Board of Commissioners that the general
concensus of the cities showed they were not in favor of any additional
gas taxes.
Motion was made by Keeth, seconded by Glascock to adjourn. Motion
carr ied.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:12 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary T. Norton,
Winter Spr ings
