Sherry Newkirk, Program Coordinator for the Seminole County Solid Waste Management, updated the Council on the solid waste and recycling program from its beginning in 1988 with the State Legislative Solid Waste Management Act to the present. The County has five franchise companies providing the service for garbage, recycling and yard trash pickup. The cost ranges from 11.59 to 12.80. The County will be looking at mandatory collection this fall, and billing on the tax role. Winter Springs has also looked into billing on the tax role. There was discussion on why the rates vary in different areas, the many problems connected with collection of yard trash, and the success of a project at Red Bug Park using recycled products. Ms. Newkirk reported this was the third year for recycling telephone directories, gave quarterly figures regarding the number of pounds of materials collected for recycling, reported a new transfer station opening up off 17-92 would have open house on Apri18th and that a commercial ordinance, which takes place July 1st, will require any commercial hauling company to provide recycling service if the customer asks for it. Ms. Newkirk reported on a program underway, called "The Wastewatcher Award", distributed copies of the County's program and will share information on an experimental program for multi- housing recycling in about a month. B. Host Presentation. Councilwoman Cook welcomed the members to Oviedo and asked City Manager Gene Williford to report on the City's recreation areas. Mr. Williford reported that during the past five years the City has obtained approximately 75 acres of recreational land from the Round Lake area eastward to the new Oviedo Sports Complex. The Round Lake Park opened this year in July. Thirty acres making up the Sports Complex consisting of Ii ttle league fields, a senior league field, and four softball fields would be playable in March. He reported they had just received confirmation that in July the City will be hosting the Greater Central Florida, Metro- Orlando area, Class C men's softball tournament, and also that Oviedo Riverside Park had made the New York Times relating to impact fees. 3 CLGSC/3-4-92/Page 4. Councilwoman Cook reported the Mid-Florida Chapter of the American Institute of Architects chose the downtown Oviedo area for its' annual community design project. Ms. Cook presented the five conceptual plans illustrating redevelopment and improvement ideas for the downtown Oviedo area. 7. Reports from Members. Commissioner Eckstein reported Sanford was in the process of adopting an ordinance for code enforcement officers, probably two from each department and all the police officers who could issue citations. The citations would allow approximately 5 days to take care of the matter and then there would be a fine or a trip to court. Commissioner Eckstein is opposed to this and sees potential problems. He asked the opinion of the members. A citizen's review board was suggested, and a lengthy discussion of how each city's code enforcement board worked followed. The majority supported Commissioner Eckstein's concerns. Commissioner Warren questioned if it was true that Red Bug Road would soon be a true "walk in" school. School Board Member Nancy Warren stated by next year it would be. Commissioner Warren reported that on the 10th of March there would be a meeting regarding road impact fee methodology change at 10:30 a.m. At 7 p.m. that night, there is the Novera CDD evidenciary hearing. Monday the 16th at 9:30 a.m. is another overview for concurrency. On the 24th is Criminal Justice Law Enforcement work session impact fee report and citation ordinance.

Courtesy busing will probably be eliminated. They have selected the Teacher of the Year and in May will have their annual teacher of the year presentation. Sunday is Heathrow's dedication and open house. Commissioner Warren mentioned construction of the beltway and thatthey have saved six million dollars on the construction due to the recession.

Commissioner Constantine reported working with the Tourist Development Committee and Lake Brantley High School and will have the swimming pool and fieldhouse at Lake Brantley for the use of citizens and students. The incinerator at Florida Hospital is a controversial item which was in the paper today. The Central Parkway overpass on 1-4 will be open this month. Commissioner Constantine reported on an innovative program they are working on which gives credit to those businesses offering to put child care in the office building. This is a leasing incentive for their building. Mayor Hillebrandt reported they were still fighting annexation and water battles; however, communication is opening up in these areas. Commissioner Jore reported they were waiting on the election. The biggest one will be the stormwater tax. Deputy Mayor Anderson stated he was going to enjoy meeting with this group. He hoped all members take information obtained at these meetings back to their commission. Deputy Mayor Anderson reported they had been in the paper recently regarding sewer and wastewater. There is a move to consolidate the Police Department with the Sheriff's Department and they have a fact finding committee looking into this. The majority of the calls he receives are for the City to keep their service. It was reported that CLEO would probably be back in operation in a month. Councilwoman Cook stated the City had been approached by the Research Park Group which has a bus that runs through the park and to the University, to work perhaps with the Tri-County Transit, to run a bus to Oviedo. City Council has encouraged making contacts to see if that can be started. Commissioner Warren suggested that a letter be written from the Council to the Board asking for their consideration at budget time for a Tri- County bus route. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:50 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Cindy Kaehler, Chairwoman , 2,"7 L;t # ~ /tUc~ ..~~!J ~_ Nancy K. ~ity Clerk Ci ty of O~~~o 1..: 5
