program has given her the opportunity to work with people who use the types of law that she will
use when she graduates. and it allows her networking opportunities which will be important when

with Mrs. GennelI she has learned that being a womao who is successful in government requires

recruitment costs for employment, grooms promising new talent to meet the fLlture needs of the

8. Program D: discussioO of the Local Option Gas Tax.
Commissioner Gennell reported that Councilman Hagood drafted R letter on her behalf
which was sent on CALNO letterhead to all city managers and mayors requesting the discussion
of the Local Option Gas Tax be placed on their meeting agendas. She said the City of Lake Mary
had responded favorably. Commissioner Clark, City of Casselberry, said he will provide a letter
stating the City's support, Commissioner Gennell said that the City of AJtamonte Springs has
placed both the discussion of the Local Option Gas Tax and the Government Cable Channel
Television issues on their agenda for November 17. Commissioner GennelI said that she would
attend Altamonte's meeting to discuss the Cable Channel issue and Commissioner Hagood said he
would verify his schedule and could possibly attend to discuss the Local Option Gas Tax issue
Commissioner Hagood, City of Oviedo, said he placed t.he Local Option Gas Tax issue on their
agenda; it. was discussed and will be brought before the Commission aga.in for a vote.
Commissioner Sargent, City of Longwood, said there was a discussion at their
Commission meeting regarding the annexation issue, He said the real concern with the County is
that the County doesn't want to drop below a certain percentage of county property, which is 50+
percent. He said the cities should want to share in the' ,oeal Option Gas Tax at the same ralios
that the County is asking that areas are being shared. Commissioner Hagood said if the money
has been bonded in a county, that a county can't go below that level to service their bonds If a
city has bonded their revenue streams trom LOOT, then that revenue stream can't be reduced
below that level to that city. Once the money is bonded, the money is secured as long as the
money will be available, fifteen to twenty years. John Drago, City of Winter Springs Deputy
Mayor, said that money can be bonded only until the Local Option Gas Tax is sunset. If there is a
certain year in which it is inactive, the money cart be bonded only to that point, after which
legislation would have to be reenacted. Iflegislation is reenacted, the cities would be able to
renegotiate a distribution formula; that would be the appropriate time to approach the split
situation. As far as the bonding is concerned, consideration would have to be given to other
pledged revenues beside gas tax.
9. P.rogram E: DiscU5SioQ Qfthe Interlocal Mediation Agre~...~pJt
C()mmissioner Ilagood reported there was litigation pending beL ween the City (If Oviedo
and the City of Winter Springs regarding Battle Ridge and the cities wanted to invoke the Inter-
Local Mediation Agreement. However, because there were other parties to the litigatIon other
than Oviedo, Winter Springs. and the County which are the signatories on the iruer-Iocal
agreement, it was deemed inappropriate to mediate. Commil>sioner Hagood said there may be a
need to revise the agreement because there will be future incidents where mitigation is necessary
