City of Altamonte Springs Member Report
From:

Subject:
Commissioner Eddie Rose is unable to attend tonight's meeting ofCALNO as he is speaking at a
Paralyzed Veterans of America banquet meeting.
Commissioner Rose asked that I bring copies of the Kaleidoscope Newsletter for each member
present at the meeting, as well as a copy of our new citizen information book, The Informer. Both
were just published. You can see from The Informer, that it went to press just prior to the
unexpected death of Commissioner Griffith. As we are facing three changes in our commission this
November, The Informer was published so that only those pages needing to be changed may be done
so quickly, without the need to publish the entire book again. This will enable us to keep the books
current for our citizens without the major cost outlay each time.
The Kaleidoscope Newsletter is published four times a year and mailed to each resident of the City.
It has provided an excellent means of keeping the citizens of Altamonte Springs informed.
Altamonte is looking forward to various events to take place at Crane's Roost Park, including a
concert featuring Tommy James called Crystal Blue Persuasion this Saturday night (October 9th) ,
the Annual Taste of Altamonte sponsored by the Rotary Club next Monday (October 11 th), and the
Annual Halloween at Cranes Roost sponsored by the Altamonte Springs Police Department on
October 31 st.
The City of Altamonte Springs is also sporting a new look. The Commission Chambers inside City
Hall have been undergoing a renovation for the past couple months and will be completed by the end
of next week. It is a new configuration of the room, moving into the 21 st Century look, and will have
a 'state ofthe art' audio/visual system. You are all welcome to come to City Hall for a personal tour,
or would certainly welcome your attendance at a Commission meeting. The next meeting is October
19th and a new commission (Mayor and Commission Districts I, II and ill) will be sworn in on
November 16th. Commissioner Freeman from District I ran unopposed.
Thank you for your time and consideration in passing this information on to the other CALNO
members.
