Authorization
~
REQUEST: The Commerce and Industry Board requests an appropriation and authorization to
mail out an updated City of Winter Springs Community and Information Guide to
all businesses and residents of Winter Springs.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this item is to request consideration by the City Commission to:
1) allow the Commerce and Industry Board to reprint the city map for Winter
Springs at no charge (subsidized by Winter Springs businesses) and,
2) to appropriate $600.00 for distribution of the map in the Winter Springs
Bulletin.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
This item is needed to address the request of the Commerce and Industry Board
to reproduce an updated Community and Informational Guide to be totally
sponsored by area businesses.
The history of this project stems from the era of Mayor Kulbes when the map was
underwritten by area businesses. The map was mailed out to sponsor businesses
only, and consequently its usefulness as a public information tool was diminished
since it did not receive broad coverage.
The Board now desires to distribute this map/guide to all (1000) businesses, and
(9,333) residential units in the City of Winter Springs.
The public purpose of this Gommission item is to provide a public information tool
new and existing residents and businesses in the community by communicating
updated information on the City of Winter Springs.
