REPORTS
School Board
Nancy Warren reported that the Courts had just ruled that
lease-purchase revenue bonds are consti tutional for school boards
which gives them an option since the bond issue failed.
They have a meeting on May 17 at Seminole High School to deal with
final recommendations for next year and decide whether it will be
double sessions or portables.
She was in Tallahassee last week and the outlook is not good for the
schools. Same thing is true for transportation.
LAKE MARY
David Mealor reported that they have contracted with a Tallahassee
law firm to assist them with the Public Service Commission to get a
rendering on what their status is regarding underground lines. This
is the one item Lake Mary residents are unified on and that is the
lines are to go underground. They are evaluating comments on the

Lake Mary City Hall is progressing nicely and open house is
scheduled for July 14.
Altamonte Springs
Lee Constantine reported that in the last 2 to 4 years Altamonte's
growth has stabilized and finances are not maintaining pace with
expenses. They are doing many things to reduce expenditures. This
year they are reorganizing in a number of ways, specifically by
combining the fire and building inspections into one inspection. In
addition they are also going to do off-month meter reading and
eliminating three positions.
The APRICOT project is also moving nicely. They have added a
number of areas in the city to this and by 1991 they feel the whole
city will be covered by the APRICOT project.
They had a volunteer banquet during Volunteer Week and the Altamonte
Mall was named Corporate Volunteer of the year.
Maitland Avenue tree planting is coming along. With the water level
down they are able to repair Lake Orienta boat ramp at one-fourth
the usual price and got state funds to do it.
They have re-districted due to population shifting and instead of
representing the southeast section of the city he now represents
the northeast section.
The police department has been chosen for a computerized traffic
citation program so they no longer will hand write tickets. They
received $100,000 grant from the Federal Highway Safety Commission
to be one of the pilot programs.
