Country Club Road, Lake Mary. In Attendance: Commissioner Cindy Kaehler - Winter Springs Mayor Joseph Hillebrandt - Casselberry (Chairman) Councilperson Thomas Hagood, Jr. - Oviedo Commissioner A.R. "Doc" Jore - Lake Mary Absent: Board Member Sandy Robinson - Seminole County School Board Commissioner Pat Warren - Seminole County Commissioner Patricia Fernandez - Altamonte Springs Commissioner Whitey Eckstein - Sanford Commissioner Rex Anderson - Longwood Others in Attendance: John C. Litton, City Manager, Lake Mary I. Call to Order The meeting was called to order by Chairman Hillebrandt at 7:35 P.M. II. Pledge of Allegiance III. Treasurer's Report Commissioner Jore stated that the balance at the last meeting was $589.25 and there were no transactions this month, leaving the same balance. He noted that CALNO has not given a plaque to Commissioner Kaehler. IV. Old Business Commissioner Jore asked if the Conflict Resolution final document has been mailed and Chairman Hillebrandt responded affirmatively. Mayor Hillebrandt noted he will personally take ten originals to each City for signatures so that each can be provided with a fully executed document. 1 V. New Business Use of Community Service Labor Commissioner Jore noted a prior meeting where they discussed the use of community service labor and that the problem is that those sentenced can do their service anytime it is convenient for them, with no accountability. The sheriff is willing to meet with judges and see about assigning site specific community service, and has asked for CALNO (as a group) to confirm they will participate if the problems can be worked out. Commissioner Jore suggested this could be done at the time of sentencing. Discussion ensued and it was the consensus of those present that community service workers could be used in numerous instances but as it is now, it is a joke. Councilperson Hagood suggested each CALNO member go back to their individual city Commission's and see if they support this. City Manager Litton noted there is a Seminole County Manager's meeting next week and he will bring this item up. Commissioner Kaehler suggested meeting with the chief judges. Mayor Hillebrandt suggested that in February they invite Sheriff Eslinger and the chief judges to attend for further discussion. Next Meeting Agenda Mayor Hillebrandt stated that the January meeting will be held at the City of Longwood and a representative from the Seminole County Fair & Expo will give a presentation. This event is to be held February 24th through March 6, 1994 at the Dog Track in Longwood. Mayor Hillebrandt noted this is not a small project and is a new direction for a fair to go. He further noted Casselberry has serious concerns about traffic (ingress/egress). He distributed a brochure on the event, a copy of which is attached and becomes a permanent part of these Minutes. VI. Reports From Members Lake Mary Commissioner Jore reported the Lake Mary Boulevard Project is nearing completion. He noted Lake Mary's arbor ordinance is strict and he has some concerns regarding enforcement and this ordinance will be under review in the near future. While he understands the need for restrictions he felt that it currently restricts the property owners rights. A brief discussion followed on various aspects of the different jurisdictions ordinances. 2 Oviedo Councilperson Hagood stated that last month a discussion was held about the increased rates at the landfill and he received a written response from Seminole County Manager Ron Rabun. His response was basically that this was done before he became Manager and that it may not be done this way in the future. Anyone interested in obtaining a copy of Mr. Rabun's response may contact Councilperson Hagood. Winter Springs Commissioner Kaehler stated they have two new Commissioner's coming on board who are to be sworn in December 6th. She further stated that one of the best things she's done as a Commissioner is serving on CALNO: it is informative, discussions are friendly and has proven to be very useful. She is now able to call other cities and discuss any problems that may arise. Casselberry Mayor Hillebrandt stated they are getting a Target store on highway 17-92 where Casselberry Land Company's white building and balloon factory is currently located. He would like to see the area from Live Oak Blvd. to Oxford Road redeveloped. They are also getting a Pizza Hut Delivery at Seminola and Winter Park Drive. Mayor Hillebrandt stated Casselberry recently redid its alcohol service hours so they are now in line with most of the county whereby alcohol can't be sold from"2:00 A.M. to 7:00 A.M.. There is a "loophole" that unless a business has an "ll-C" license (which most fraternal organizations have), they cannot operate these hours. He cautioned that each member may want to check their ordinances for this clause. Adjournment Motion was made by Commissioner Jore, seconded by Commissioner Hagood, to adjourn. at 8:25 P.M. Motion carried unanimously. Joseph Hillebrandt, Chairman Patricia A. Lee, Deputy City Clerk 3
