Manager McLemore said he investigate the issue.
Richard Levine, 469 MacGregor Road, with P.E.I. Homes, homebuilders and building in the
Highlands. Mr. Levine stated that approximately 9 months ago the City requested that they remove
the signage that they had at the entrance of the Highlands; and said from that time on they have been
trying to find a solution to the problem. Mr. Levine said in January they had a meeting with the City
Manager, City Attorney and Staff and said that he thought there was common ground to move
forward and said as it turns out the final decision of the City is not to permit signage. Mr. Levine
said during that meeting, they understood, that Staff was going to review the sign ordinance because
it was determined that the sign ordinance offered a great deal of room for interpretation and said they
were told that when the sign ordinance was reviewed the development community would be brought
in the discussion so as to flnd a common area of agreement. Mr. Levine said in the interim they have
been advertising on benches and said as soon as their advertising appeared on the bench, they were

notified by the Code Enforcement Officer that they had "X" days to remove the sign. Mr. Levine
said after researching it appears that the order was rescinded and only to be followed by the item
tonight to remove all benches within the City. Mr. Levine said this brings up a problem as they are
prevented from any signage. Discussion.
Commissioner Gennell asked that the City Manager and Staff look into this specific home marketing
and to come back with recommendations if there are any. Consensus was to have the City Manager
and Staff look into this, Discussion. Attorney Guthrie said he will review the recommendations.
Manager McLemore said he would have this back to the Commission in 90 days.
George Seely, 211 Birch Terrace, spoke regarding his displeasure with the Commission's behavior.
Tom 0' Connell, President of the Tuscawilla Homeowners Association, gave the Commission a letter
he sent to the project manager of the Oviedo Market Place and spoke about teens cutting through
homeowners property to. get to and from the mall and asked if there was anything the Commission
could do to help the situation. Discussion. Manager McLemore said he would try to facilitate a
solution.
Valerie El-Jan1il, 1230 MacTavandash Dr., spoke regarding the Battle Ridge property.
Commissioner Martinez stated that he received two phone calls (today) from the Jaycees and the
people that are involved with the bench issue and said he was told they never received any
information about this meeting taking place and was told by a phone call and said they would like to
come and make a proper presentation to the Commission.
Motion was made by Commissioner Martinez that this issue, Consent Agenda Item F, be
tabled for two weeks until they are given an opportunity to come back and make a
presentation to the Commission, at which time the Commission can make a more intelligent
decision. Seconded by Commissioner Miller. Discussion. Commissioner Gennell said this is in
accordance with what we did for the past two years in trying to make the 434 corridor more
esthetically pleasing, to up grade that re-development area and said this is one of the steps
that's key to accomplishing that goal. Commissioner Blake said the agenda item does not ask
for a contract and said Ute doesn't know iftabling this item will do any good and said this is a
policy decision of the Commission and said he thinks the Commission has the information
necessary to act. Manager McLemore said what prompted this issue to come before the
Commission was that there was a proposal sent to his office to renew this contract; Manager
McLemore said that under the rules that the Commission has set for that district, unless the
Commission gives him other direction, there will be no renewal of that contract because the
Commission has established by ordinance a set of rules that prohibits that from being done
within that particular area in that district. Manager McLemore said his purpose for bringing
this to the Commission was to simply surface it with the Commission and let the Commission
know that he has no intfntions of renewing a contract with these people unless the Commission
goes back and amends that ordinance. Manager McLemore said the Commission has stated
Re2ular Meetin2 City Commission

that the Commission has established. Vote: Commissioner Martinez: aye; Commissioner

and prohibit public shelters and public seating on public right-of-ways and private property adjacent
to public right-of-ways. PURPOSE: for the City Commission to authorize the removal of all bus
benches on public right-of-ways and prohibit public shelters and public seating on public right-of-
ways and private property adiacent to public right-of-ways.
Commissioner Blake had a question on Item C: when is construction going to start on the buildings,
especially the one on the trail. Manager McLemore said the one on the trail, is something we will
have to negotiate, if we can get immediate delivery on the materials, we would asked that the
construction start on that one first but said he doesn't know if that is possible. Manager McLemore
said we sent out a bid addendum stating that the trail building be constructed first and also stated that
he would like to try to have it opened for the opening ceremony and said he didn't know if it could
be done but will try.
Commissioner Blake had question on Item B: and asked if the City has "shopped" this. Manager
McLemore said it was "shopped" 3 or 4 years ago on a very elaborate bid proposal and said that the
League was chosen as part of the process. Harry Martin, Finance Director, said there were 4 or 5
agencies that put in an R.F.P., and said it was decided to go with the League because the premium
was better, plus the service. Mr. Martin said we didn't do any "shopping" this time; we went to the
League and said we would like to have no increase in premium and said that the League came back
and gave a reduction in premium for the same coverage. Commissioner Blake asked ifthere was any
change in coverage limits. Mr. Martin stated no. Manager McLemore said his recommendation to
the Commission would be that as long as we can keep them (the League) price competitive and in
this mode, that we would do business with them, but at the point in time where they want to increase
our pricing, that is the time we should go to bid and as long as they know that's the way we are doing
business then it puts a good incentive out there for them to remain competitive.
Commissioner McLeod had a question on Item C: regarding the second set of restrooms, said he
thinks there will be a problem negotiating the second set out at that number. Commissioner McLeod
said he doesn't think the dollar value is there to reduce to that amount. Manager McLemore said ifit
goes beyond that point, he would come back to the Commission for further direction. Commissioner
McLeod suggested to the Commission that they authorize the City Manager up to $50,000 instead of
$40,000 on that portion of the item in order for the City Manager to move forward with it (on the
Trail part). Consensus to raise the amount to $50,000.
Commissioner McLeod had a question on Item A: why can't the Police Department monitor this
building or this building be monitored directly back to our Fire Department. Commissioner Gennell
said she concurs with Commissioner McLeod, she would rather see us wired directly to our own
Public Safety Department. Commissioner Martinez said he feels that the uniform forces of this City
could better secure this building than any outside agency. Mayor Partyka noted that both the Fire and
Police Chief recommend not directly monitoring the building. Discussion.
Attorney Guthrie stated that the State of Florida adopted standard codes, and Fire Code was one of
them and in there they adopted additional Fire Alarm Code that dictates the methodology involved
and the personnel and equipment that is required to be in place.

Parcel lB. Parcel IB is located at the northeast intersection of Vistawilla Drive and S.R. 434,
extends eastward on the south side of S.R. 434 approximately 2,1600 feet, then south southwest
approximately 450 feet, then westward approximately 2,100 feet and then north northeast to the point
of beginning approximately 450 feet. THIS ITEM TABLED FROM THE MARCH 23, 1998
MEETING. NOTE: this item is being amended based upon discussions between the developer and
property owners living adjacent to the development that occurred on Monday, April 6, 1998. (The
amended agenda item will be available no later than Thursday, April 9, 1998 at 5:00 p.m.):
Charles Carrington, Community Development Director, gave his presentation. Mr. Carrington stated
that this is a second Public Hearing to consider a revised proposed Development Agreement for
Tuscawilla Tract 15, Parcel I B; the Agreement contains certain enhancements, including added
landscaping and a six foot masonry wall along the rear of the property, uniform ground mounted
signs and a meandering si:x foot wide sidewalk along S.R. 434. Mr. Carrington said as to Lot 1, the
building mounted sign shall not exceed 148 sq.ft. of copy area and the ground mounted sign shall not
exceed 110 sq.ft., and the building setback shall be 49'6". Mr. Carrington said an updated version of
the Development Agreement was distributed to the Commission on this date and it deletes the car
wash facility from all parcels and increases building signage from 148 sq.ft., to 193.5 sq.ft.
Approval is recommended for the Commission's review.
Mr. Mike Jones, Attorney representing the developer, pointed out to the Commission that in the
memo to the Commission from the City Manager dated April 9, 1998, that there was a slight
misstatement: number 4, on page 2, "the reconfiguration of the canopy, provides for a canopy of a
lesser lineal footage than the main building, acknowledging that the configuration results in a wider
canopy and a movement of the building closer to the rear property line"; Mr. Jones said actually the
canopy is 102 feet and the building is 90 feet, so it will be 12 foot bigger than the building, it is 160'
that is proposed and it will be reduced from 160 to 112, and we confirmed that in a meeting with the
Homeowners Association, and said the memo had a misstatement, that it will be 50 foot smaller, and
said it will not be smaller than the building itself. Mr. Jones said they have worked close with the
representatives of the Homeowners Association and said they have left enough "room" in the
agreement to allow them to address concerns with the Tuscawilla Homeowners Association when
they develop the adjacent properties and their concern they had regarding the beautification and the

wall and so forth.
Commissioner Gennell stated that she has a concern with the lighting and said there is a glare to have
the lights unshielded. Commissioner Gennell said that her concern is for the 434 corridor as the
Commission has attempted to design and envision it, to be not gaudy and to be tastefully done, and
said by dropping down the lights, you are actually defusing very high watt lights outward and said
she has not objection for bright lights shinning down where the people need them but said she thinks
it is a distraction to drivers passing by and it is also a big glare. Discussion. Mr. Jones stated that
this has been addressed with the Commission when this was approved and addressed this with the
members of the Homeovmers Association and said one of the major factors that has been discussed
with Staff is the crime and safety aspects of the well lit station and the purpose for the being well lit
is so that it does deter an element of crime. Mr. Jones said the reduction of the canopy, in size, was
addressed by the representatives and approved because that in fact addressed your concern about the
light going back to them and because the building is higher than the canopy there will be no light
back to the residents behind the station.
Commissioner Gennell asked if the developer would recess the lights. Mr. Jones said no they can't
and that is why they made the concession on the canopy and stated that the concern was for the
residents in the rear not the people in the front.
Manager McLemore said ifthe lights become a problem, then (at a point in time) we (the City) can
require the owner to fix the lights if they become a safety problem. Discussion.
It was the consensus to the Commission that this is not an issue.
Manager McLemore mentioned that there are still a few minor site plan issues for Staffto work out
with the developer and said he would like to have the authority from the Commission to resolve
those things without havi.ng to come back to the Commission, unless we run into some problem. It
was the consensus of the Commission to give the Manager authority to resolve the issues
without having to com(: back before the Commission.
Mayor Partyka opened the meeting for Public Input. There was no public input.
Motion was made by Commissioner McLeod to approve Item B as noted in the
recommendations by the City Manager and Staff. Seconded by Commissioner Miller.
Discussion. Vote: Commissioner McLeod: aye; Commissioner Gennell: aye; Commissioner
Martinez: aye; Commis,sioner Blake: aye; Commissioner Miller: aye. Motion passes.
Community Development Department/Planning Division
C. Requests the City Commission hold a Public Hearing to consider whether to transmit the large
scale comprehensive plan amendment (LG-CP A-I-98) to Florida Department of Community Affairs,
that would add a policy statement in the Intergovernmental Coordination element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan on annexation into the east rural area of Seminole county. PURPOSE: the plan
Ree:ular Meetine: City Commission
April 13. 1998

Pae:e 9
amendment is intended to add to the current text of the Intergovernmental Coordination element, in
Volume 2 of2 of the Comprehensive Plan, a policy statement on annexation onto the east rural area
of Seminole County. Consideration of this plan amendment is prompted by the request of Seminole
County. The additional language to the text requires the submission of a Large Scale Comprehensive
Plan Amendment to the Florida Department of Community Affairs. THIS ITEM TABLED FROM
THE MARCH 23, 1998 MEETING:
Attorney Guthrie stated that Regular Agenda Item E, will be deferred until the point in time, which is
the Resolution declaring all the contingencies have been filled; and said he is going to move that
until the current Item C comes back for the Second Public Hearing.
Regular Agenda Items C and D will be heard together.
Charles Carrington, Community Development Director, gave his presentation. Mr. Carrington stated
that this item is the first Public Hearing to consider transmittal of a Large Scale Comprehensive Plan
Amendment to the Florida Department of Community Affairs, adding a policy statement on
annexation into the east rural area of Seminole County. Mr. Carrington stated that the Local
Planning Agency, on Marcy 18, 1998, recommended transmittal to D.C.A. and said that a second
Public Hearing will be scheduled within 60 days of receiving the O.R.e. Report from D.e.A. Mr.
Carrington said Staff is recommending approval of Regular Agenda Item C.
Mr. Carrington said Regular Agenda Item D is the First Reading of Ordinance 699, which is
designed to revise Ordinance 695, which is the Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment
dealing with the Battle Ridge property. Ord. 699, redesignates the jurisdictional wetland
conservation rather than the previous classification of lower density residential. This action, if
approved, fulfills all comingencies related to the Battle Ridge Annexation Ordinance No. 694; the
initial zoning Ordinance No. 696 and the Development Agreement. A Second Public Hearing will be
scheduled April 27, 1998. Mr. Carrington stated that Staff recommends Commission approve the
First Reading of Ordinance 699 to revise Ordinance 695, to redesignate the jurisdictional wetlands as
conservation on the FutUlre Land Use Map.
Commissioner Blake spoke regarding an issue that was brought up at the Planning and Zoning Board
meeting regarding Policy 2, under objective E in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element and
read that section. Commissioner Blake stated that Gene Lein, P & Z Board Member, had some
concern that the statemem (just read) didn't quite reconcile itself. Commissioner Blake said he feels
it is important the it is clarified exactly what it is that the City intends to say by this statement and
what is intended or not intended to do. Commissioner Blake said it is his intention to not grow the
City towards the east past that urban service boundary line on the City's own, and not to move urban
type development in that direction east, of the eastern boundary line of the Battle Ridge property.
Commissioner Blake said. however, if a property owner that is contiguous with the City wishes to
voluntarily annex into the City, to become part of the City of Winter Springs, and said he feels the
City should afford them that opportunity. Commissioner Blake said the last portion of the statement
(that he read earlier) and said it is important as well to make sure that everyone knows, that this
Commission, has on several occasions, resolved to meet with our neighbors to discuss a joint
Rel!ular Meetinl! City Commission
Aoril13. 1998
97-98-27
Pal!e 10
planning area, to discuss future boundaries (in areas that we touch or may touch in the future) and
said to this date that meeting hasn't taken place. Commissioner Blake said it is important to note
that we, the City of Winter Springs are willing to do this and we stand ready with this change in our
Comprehensive Plan on the books, and they can implement it. Commissioner Blake said he just
wanted to clear the air on exactly what the language, as he believes it says.
Manager McLemore said to amplify what has been stated, this does put into place those requests that
the City has had from the County and said a lot of time has been spent working with Tony Matthews
in regards to working out some language that everybody was comfortable with between the County
and the City to do what the County wanted to accomplish and said the City has followed through
with what we said we were going to do. Manager McLemore said as he mentioned (in a prior
meeting) that we (Winter Springs) would take the lead on this issue on preservation of the Hammock
and said now the City is in the lead like we said we would do.
Tony Matthews, of Seminole County, spoke about a letter he had sent to the City Manager regarding
some issues that he raised: protecting the rural area, adopting an interlocal agreement, compo plan
policies, and amending the City's compo plan to establish conservation; Mr. Matthews said the City
has addressed most of the issues. Mr. Matthews said along with the letter he had attached several
plan policies that dealt w:lth not only intergovernmental coordination but also future land use, water,
sewer and transportation. Also, along with that there was a draft joint planning agreement, which
was to do an agreement in two phases.
Mr. Matthews also spoke regarding volunteer annexation. Mr. Matthews recommended an option to
Commissioner Blake's language based on what is here already and said the way it is now it states:
"the City of Winter Springs shall not through an involuntary annexation extend it's eastern boundary
beyond the urban service line..." and stated that he had initially put as amended on "_" (that was to
reflect the Resolution) and said the whole first sentence would stay the same; the second sentence
which begins with "the City shall reserve the right to annex..." suggested the City looks at rewriting
that to say "the City shall not consider voluntary annexation requests beyond the urban service line
established by the County until the City and County have adopted a joint planning agreement to
define future boundaries of the City". Mr. Matthews said that is what he understood what we
(County and City) wanted to do. Mr. Matthews mentioned that the County is meeting with the City
of Oviedo to work out a similar joint planning agreement with them; and stated that they have had
one meeting and will have more in the future. Mr. Matthews said that is his proposal that he
recommends to the Commission.
Discussion ensued.
Mr. David Moon, Director of Planning for the City of Oviedo, gave the Mayor and Commission a
letter from the City of Oviedo's Council Chairman, and read the second paragraph of the letter,
which stated: "the City Council of Oviedo requests that the City of Winter Springs not annex the
Battle Ridge property or assign a land use different than that currently assigned by Seminole
County's Small Area Study, and Comprehensive Plan. Reasons supporting Oviedo's position have

previously been submitted for the record at other hearings held by the City of Winter Springs.
Annexation of Battle Rldge in the City of Winter Springs, is not in the best interest of either your
community or the City of Oviedo". Mr. Moon asked the Commission to take into consideration the
letter as well as the othe:r documents (submitted in the past) that the City of Oviedo has presented to
the Commission."
Mayor Partyka closed the Public Hearing.
Commissioner Martinez said in reference to the letter just presented to the Commission, stated
currently in the County's small area study and Comprehensive Plan, it states clearly that this land can
be used with three different densities of residential uses, commercial and industrial.
Commissioner Gennell stated that she has been opposed to the whole concept since the beginning
and said she doesn't think the City of Winter Springs belongs on the other side of the Greene W ay
when the City has things inside (the City) that needs to be taken care of a lot quicker.
Motion was made by Commissioner McLeod to approve Agenda Item C. Seconded by
Commissioner Blake. Discussion. Vote: Commissioner Gennell: nay; Commissioner Martinez:
aye; Commissioner Blake: aye; Commissioner Miller: nay; Commissioner McLeod: aye.
Motion passes.
Community Development Department/Planing Division

three minute time allotment; the next new procedure is: the Commission will hear any Public

Commissioner Martinez said on page 7, paragraph 3, the following was omitted (Commissioner
Martinez said he stated) "that he (Martinez) was present at both meetings that was referred to and
the comments were made and said he added that he did not know whether they were favorable or not
favorable, and said he stated that no matter which way they were made, it was not in good taste to be
made in public" and said that that statement was left out of the minutes. Discussion.
Motion was made by Commissioner Gennell to approve the Consent Agenda Items C and D
and Item F (approval of Minutes of3-9-98 as amended). Seconded by Commissioner McLeod.
Discussion. Vote: Commissioner McLeod: aye; Commissioner Blake: aye; Commissioner
Gennell: aye; Commissi.oner Miller: aye; Commissioner Martinez: aye. Motion passes.
Discussion on Consent Agenda A.
Commissioner Martinez stated that he against reducing the amount to be paid to the City.
Commissioner McLeod stated that the actual cost was $2,960.
Commissioner Martinez :;aid that at the 3-9-98 meeting, Mr. Seal stated that it would cost the City
$5,000 in expenditures for expipment and personnel and said he doesn't think the City should give
back money that would make the City "short" at least $2,000.
Mayor Partyka said for point of clarification and point of factual order - the actual cost is not $5,000,
it is $2,960 based on what the City Manager and Staff has concluded and that is the fact.
Commissioner McLeod said with that in mind, it did not cost the City the amount of money as was
predicted. Commissioner McLeod said he thinks the intent, as he understood it to be (when this first
came before the Commission) was somewhat a partnering with the community businesses (that this
City has been lacking in the past) that we were hoping to start doing that; with the Spring Fest being
one of those types of arraingements. Commissioner McLeod said he doesn't know that if this
Commission feels that it's a take and not a give situation, then the City is not sending a good
message to the business community. Commissioner McLeod said as he reads the agenda regarding
this event, he thinks they (Mountain View) lost $12,700 and said if the City is trying to partner,
trying to promote with private enterprise, some tallents, resources, that the City doesn't have, said he
thinks by using the private sector, you must have some give and take. Commissioner McLeod said
knowing that we covered our expenses, then he would be in favor to look at this from the standpoint
that we would accept the $3,000 in lieu of the $5,300 and said he thinks that would be a very good
business decision by the Commission.

Commissioner Blake stated that when the Commission approved this item, the Commission agreed
to the tems that the City would receive $5,000 (gurantee) and 10% gate revenues; and said the fact of
the matter is the park was unavable for use during the six days and said it was his understanding and
position at that time was that any profits over the cost that the City would have, would go into the
Parks Department's budget and said that this was an agreement and said he believes that Mountain
View should be required to pay the $5,333.00 that the original contract required.
Commissioner Martinez stated that in the March 9, 1998 minutes it is stated that it would cost the
City $5,000 (personnell and equipment), and said if the City agrees to take $3,000, the City will be
loosing $2,000 to subdize a profit for an orgazination that comes into the City. Commissioner
Martinez said if the Commission allows this to happen now, it will allow others to come here and the
City will keep paying at the taxpayers expense and said he is against that.
Mayor Partyka said for a point of clarification, the actual cost is not $5,000 it is $2,960, and said that
figure is based on what the City Manager and Staff has concluded and said that is the fact.
Commissioner McLeod said he thinks that the intend, as he understood it, was somewhat a partner
with the community businesses, and said he doesn't know that if this Commission feels that it's a
take and not a give situation; Commissioner McLeod said we are not sending a good message to the
business community. Commissioner McLeod said reading the agenda item, the company lost
$12,700 and said if the City is trying to partner/promote private enterprise, some tallents/resources
that the City doesn't have, said he thinks by using the private sector, then you must have some give
and take. Commissioner McLeod said knowling that the City did cover their expenses, then he said
he would be in favor to look at this from the standpoint of the City accepting the $3,000 in lieu of the
$5,300 and said he feels that that would be a good business decision by the Commission.
Motion was made by Commissioner McLeod to approve Consent Agenda Item A, reducing the
amount to $3,000 and still subsidize all the City's expenses. Seconded by Commissioner Miller.
Discussion. Commissiolller Genne)) said she would like to ask (and if the Commission agrees),
and stated that the Commission comes up with these things from time to time, that we
(Commission) says that they need to sit and discuss this later and said the policy of admission
verses non admission things to the park, whether the City was really going to start as a policy
(in the park) of letting people have events and charging admission, said she would like that
noted (somewhere) that the Commission said that we would discuss that in the future; so when
we schedule a workshop there will be a list of things that the Commission said they want to
address.
Commissioner Gennelllllsked how many days were they here prior to their set-up. Mr. Seal
said Sunday and Monday. Commissioner Gennell said they were in operation for five days, so
that makes a total of sev<<~n days that they occupied certain spaces in the park. Commissioner
Gennell said the Commi!;sion was told that the passave area would open for parking and said
she had taken the opportunity to go to the passave area and look around and said she was
surprised to see that there were a dozen different sorts of motor homes camping out there,

including pets, hooked up to the City's electricty and water. Commissioner Gennell asked if
the water was metered ~lt that location and if the electric was metered - seperatly from the rest
of the park. Mr. Seal said yes the water and electric was metered. Commissioner Gennell said
she was unaware that this was going to happen that she thought the passave area was going to
be used for public parking and said there was no public parking there, as the area was being
used up by the people living on that property for one week. Commissioner Gennell said at the
very least, before the final cost to the City is determined, to look at the differenc between the
last few months electric and water bills. Mr. Seal said he included in his estimate the use ofthe
electric and water. Manager McLemore reminded the Commission of the situation from
December when the program was cancelled due to the weather and that the company put on
another show for no cost and said that he feels the company dealt with the City honorably and
approached this on the "high road" and said he feels the City should deal with this on the
"high road". Manager McLemore said if the Commission wants to try and deal with the
private sector, the Commission has to deal with them on the basis of when people work fairly
with you, then you work fairly with them, and again, the question is "what is your goal and are
your actions consistent with your goal"; Manager McLemore said the goal (as he understands
it) was to try to outsource, or use the private sector to try to create (through some experiments)
some opportunities for recreation for the people in this community. Manager McLemore said
this was one of those levents that we have learned that probably will not work in this
community, and said it was a good lesson learned for the company but the question is ifit still
is the Commissions goall to try to use the private sector (through a partnership) to look and
search way to create reclreation opportunities, then the City's actions need to be consistent with
that goal.
Commissioner Martinez said the Commission is being inconsistent, we keep going back to the
"old days" the "give-aways". Commissioner Martinez said they are business people and in
business you take chances, you gamble, and they gambled and they lost. Commissioner
Martinez said the comp:any said they were suppose to give $5,000 back, why should we give
them money, when Mr. Seal stated he hasn't calculated the water or electric use as of this time.
Commissioner Martinez said it is not up to the City to subsidize business.
Commissioner Miller asked to call the question. Vote (to call the question): Commissioner
Martinez: aye; Commissioner Miller: aye; Commissioner Blake: aye; Commissioner Gennell:
nay; Commissioner McLeod: aye. Motion passes.
V ote on the Motion to approve Consent Agenda Item A, reducing the amount to $3,000 and
still subsidize the cost of the City's expenses: Commissioner Gennell: aye; Commissioner
Blake: nay; Commissioner Miller: aye; Commissioner McLeod: aye; Commissioner Martinez:
nay. Motion passes.
Commissioner Gennell commented to the City Manager, in relations to these types of things, she
would like in the future to know if people are going to be living in the park for a week and said she
would also like camp site fees to be included in the caluclations of what it costs the City.

Commissioner Blake stat1ed that there is a large difference between the 4th of July celebration, which
is funded by the City, the City pays the entire amount, the City procures the contractor and provide
that for the citizens vs. a for profit entity coming in and wanting to utilize the City's facilities for
profit and giving the City a choice of methods to pay the City for the use of the citizens property and
when things don't work out well, expecting the City to share in their loses.
Discussion on Consent Agenda Item B.
Commissioner Gennell said her comments on this item and also Consent Agenda Item E are the
same, with the acception that Item E is actually more money than the City spent last year, but with
regards to Item B, they an: establishing another group which is going to have to have somebody from
our Staff attending it, another layer ofbureauacy (if you would) that is going to be involved in these
planning processes. Commissioner Gennell said this Agreement that is being signed, establishes a P-
T AC committee, and said everybody has to send a member and said we are opening the door for
another level ofbureaucy getting involved when we are trying to accomplish things. Commissioner
Gennell said her question is, is this going to be subject to government in the sunshine, will there be
open meetings, will there be minutes; what is the story with this P- T AC committee.
Attorney Guthrie said there should be a sunshine meeting.
Mayor Partyka said his impression on this is one of what we have been trying to do in terms of a
joint coordination, communication of issues and said isn't this what is suppose to happen, it is not
necessarily a "big" board that will vote on things, it's a question of talking to each other so there
won't be any "surprises".
Manager McLemore said that is correct.
Commissioner Gennell said for everyone's information, this particular agreement was orignated
years ago, in the 1970's by the Council of Local Governments, (when they were scattered far and
wide) to get in better harnlony with each other and said this has been revised and upgraded two or
three times and each time h is revised and upgraded, it's been improved and said this is the first time
a committee has been put in place that has to take one of our Staff members once a month to attend,
and said what exactly does it mean, that they can make their own decision on what things are
necessary and what aren't and said she wondered what implications it has for the City in our
planning. Commissioner Gennell said ifthere is something that the City does or what to do, will it be
subjuct to approval by thi:) P- T AC committee. Manager McLemore said he doesn't believe so.
Commissioner Gennell asked what is the function of that committee. Manager McLemore said the
function of that committee is bascially to provide information and discussion so that everybody is
aware, various governmental entities are aware of planed development that is going on in various
communities in Seminole County. Manager McLemore said there is a mandate in the Compo Plan to
have governmental coordination and said this is the instrument by which we are trying to acheive
that.
Manager McLemore said the County sent over (last year) the first draft of this, which we thought was
Ref!ular Meetinf! City Commission
April 27. 1998
97-98-28
Paf!e 7
too elaborate and said we said we needed to get to the big issues so that everybody understands and
is aware of planned actions by the various communities on issues that have some real import. So the
we amended our agreement to try deal with the bigger issues.
Commissioner Gennell said the last line on page 9, of the first paragraph says "the P-TAC may be
assigned duties and responsibilities by unaminous agreement of the parties" and asked which parties.
Manager McLemore said the way he preseves that is that is the administrative procedures by which
that committee intends to meet, their rules of working.
Tom Grimms, Community Development Coordinator, said the Planners of County and various Cities
have been functoning as a P- T AC for some time, the Planners have gotten together once a month and
conferred on various issues and stated that the way he understands the agreement the P- T AC is
mearly advisory, advisory only to the City Managers, the City Commissions and similar bodies of the
County .
Commissioner Gennell a~;ked the Attorney if the meetings are open and will there be minutes.
Attorney Guthrie said if the Committee is purly advisory, they would not need to have minutes and
there wouldn't necessarily be duly noticed meetings.
Attorney Guthrie said there was a question as to the term of the agreement and said the term of the
agreement is two years, if's automatically renewable for sucessive one year terms and will continue
to do that unless a party notifies all other parties that it is opting out of the agreement.
Attorney Guthrie said that he and Manager McLemore had concerns with an earlier draft with
regards to the section dealing with conflict resolution and said it is now done at a management level
and said if only everybody decides to go futher, does it get into a more binding type of thing.
Attorney Guthrie sadi the other concern was the provision of opting out and said it is now in the
agreement.
Commissioner Gennell asked Attorney Guthrie for his interpretation of the last sentenance in the first
paragraph on page 9.
Attorney Guthrie said it could be read two ways and said he is not sure either "hurts" the City.
Attorney Guthrie said it could be all the parties would have to agree to something or it could be if
there were three entities involved and they unaminously agree and said that that maybe should be

Discussion on Consent Agenda Item E.
Commissioner Gennell said last year the City gave $3,500 toward this effort, the Seminole Vision
and said this year we are: being asked to give $5,000 for the whole year; $2,500 for six months,
which would be $5,000 for the year. Commissioner Gennell said on paragraph 7 of the first page
says "a new orgazinational plan has been developed that includes the creation of a board of
community trustees, made up of 50 representatives from a wide range of community perspectives".
Commissioner Gennell said her understanding from last year when the City entered into the
Seminole Vision was that it was going to be a one or two year process to get things going and asked
if it is switching and saying they are going to set up a perment "thing" and each year be obligated to
an amount of money. Manager McLemore said he thinks that is the direction they are trying to move
in based on the report of it various members and participants, to try to keep the interaction going
between the various Mayors and Managers (which has been fairly productive). Manager McLemore
said what they realize is that there is so much work involved and people involved in trying to
corrdinate eight or nine different governmental entities, would be impossible to do unless there is
someone assigned to do that. Manager McLemore said his recommendation to them (Seminole
Vision) was that if they can't get that commitment out of the various communities, then he said he
doesn't think they should go any further; and said he thinks they are trying to have enough money to
keep the actions moving ahead, on the agenda for action that was developed by the Visioning
participants and not let it "die" at this point and time. Manager McLemore said he suspects that at
the end of this first year, they would have to come back again and ask for the $5,000 if they feel that
is the thing to do; Manager McLemore said he doesn't know what will happen after this year, but
said it will not go anywhe:re unless someone or some entity has the pivital position responsiblitiy for
coordination and said that will be difficult for anyone government to do and the Chamber has said
they will dedicate resources to try and keep this moving but the communities will have to come up
with some part of the resources also.
Commissioner Blake asked what does the City get for the $2,500 and said when this was before the
Commission a year ago he asked that same question and then asked what did the City get from last
years $3,500. Manger McLemore said there was a progress report published by that group at the end
of the exercise where each of the committees stated what progress had been made in that particular
area. Manager McLemore said after the report, there was a feeling of everyone that a lot was
acheived by having peopk come together and think about long term in where Seminole County was
trying to go and what it was trying to do and what it's priorities are.
Commissioner Blake said he questions the use offunds for something where we don't have any clear
indication of what kind of benefit it's going to bring us, specifically for a second year in a row.
Commissioner Blake said he would like to see the Commission "hold off' on this at the moment to
give the City Manager an opportunity to bring back clearer direction on what they intend to do.
