400. Office Of The City Attorney — Anthony A. Garganese, Esquire
City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese noted that he and the City Manager will be meeting with Seminole County
on Thursday, March 11, 2010with regards to the (recently discussed) Annexation issue.
Secondly, Attorney Garganese commented on a new Volunteer Policy that is currently being reviewed by
Department Directors. After that review process has been completed, the new Volunteer Policy will then be
brought to the City Commission for their consideration.
Thirdly, Attorney Garganese spoke about the Bishop Code Enforcement Case and a possible inconsistency related
to parking and the Business Tax Receipt Code. Attorney Garganese explained, "There was an inconsistency in
the - local Business Tax Receipt provisions for that particular home occupation. It recited the old parking
regulations and so when the Commission Approved the new parking regulations this year for commercial
vehicles, that restriction in the local Business Tax Receipt was not updated to reflect the new Code. So that has
been taken care of and I was told that was re- issued correctly. So that's now been rectified."
Furthermore, Attorney Garganese noted that the other issues related to the Bishop's are going before the Code
Enforcement Board for reconsideration; and Staff is working through other matters.
Attorney Garganese then commented on a letter from Mr. Albert Ford, Esquire related to Red Light Camera
Infractions and noted that "The City Manager and I have talked about it — we're inclined to provide Mr. Ford all
the Public Records that he has requested while this issue works its way through the Legislature."
Commissioner Bonner asked Attorney Garganese, "Does that mean in the interim, we will continue business as
usual ?" Attorney Garganese responded, "Correct."
Attorney Garganese added, "We are going to proceed and fill Mr. Ford's request. I will respond - on the City's
behalf advising him that the Records will be forthcoming once they have been gathered in the reasonable course."
Lastly, Attorney Garganese advised the City Commission about an Amicus Brief he was preparing for the United
States Supreme Court related to an Adult Entertainment and First Amendment Case.

wording such as: "`Do you support the 4 of July celebration in the City of Winter Springs ?' Question numb
2: `Do you support the utilization of tax payer dollars to fund this Event ?' Does that sound something reasonab
to the Commission ?"
Deputy Mayor Rick Brown stated, "Sounds good to me." Commissioner Sally McGinnis added, "That was the
intent." Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs thought that a "Not to exceed" amount should be included. Manager
Smith then said, "Sounds like a great idea. Is everyone okay with that - `Do you support the utilization of tax
payer dollars not to exceed..." Commissioner Krebs remarked, "...Exactly..." Manager Smith continued,
"...Twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) for funding of this Event.' Be happy to."
Further comments followed.

City Attorney Anthony A. Garganese noted that he and the City Manager will be meeting with Seminole County
on Thursday, March 11, 2010with regards to the (recently discussed) Annexation issue.

brought to the City Commission for their consideration.
Thirdly, Attorney Garganese spoke about the Bishop Code Enforcement Case and a possible inconsistency related
to parking and the Business Tax Receipt Code. Attorney Garganese explained, "There was an inconsistency in
the - local Business Tax Receipt provisions for that particular home occupation. It recited the old parking
regulations and so when the Commission Approved the new parking regulations this year for commercial
vehicles, that restriction in the local Business Tax Receipt was not updated to reflect the new Code. So that has
been taken care of and I was told that was re- issued correctly. So that's now been rectified."
Furthermore, Attorney Garganese noted that the other issues related to the Bishop's are going before the Code
Enforcement Board for reconsideration; and Staff is working through other matters.
Attorney Garganese then commented on a letter from Mr. Albert Ford, Esquire related to Red Light Camera
Infractions and noted that "The City Manager and I have talked about it — we're inclined to provide Mr. Ford all
the Public Records that he has requested while this issue works its way through the Legislature." Commissioner
Bonner asked Attorney Garganese, "Does that mean in the interim, we will continue business as usual ?" Attorney
Garganese responded, "Correct." Attorney Garganese added, "We are going to proceed and fill Mr. Ford's
request. I will respond - on the City's behalf advising him that the Records will be forthcoming once they have
been gathered in the reasonable course."

2: `Do you support the utilization of tax payer dollars to fund this Event ?' Does that sound something reasonable
to the Commission ?"
Deputy Mayor Rick Brown stated, "Sounds good to me." Commissioner Sally McGinnis added, "That was the
intent." Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs thought that a "Not to exceed" amount should be included. Manager
Smith then said, "Sounds like a great idea. Is everyone okay with that - `Do you support the utilization of tax
payer dollars not to exceed... "' Commissioner Krebs remarked, "...Exactly..." Manager Smith continued,
"` ...Twenty -five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) for funding of this Event.' Be happy to."

impact initially."
