II. Discussion of Lighting Options
Manager McLemore spoke about getting a Landscape Architect in place to do the study
for the entranceway. Manager McLemore told the Board he received a proposal from
Canin Associates and he felt the price for the estimate was a little too high. Manager
McLemore also talked to Bill Starmer of SRI Planning and Architecture Inc. Mr. Starmer
gave Manager McLemore a lower price for the estimate. Manager McLemore told the
Board that they need to make a decision on which they want to use so they can get the
information quicker. The Board was in consensus to wait till Friday to see if they have
heard back from Canin Associates about lowering their price. Manager McLemore
stated if he had not heard from Canin Associates, he would contact Bill Starmer.

will be done at what time and about methods of payment for the District. Discussion.

supplied by Florida Power for the lighting along Winter Springs Boulevard.
Seconded by Board Member Tillis. Vote: All aye. Motion passes.

terms of style only. Chairman Gilmore asked the Board their opinions on the Monticello

Sebring.
