SUMYARY: When A.B. Ward and Elmer Lane DBA Security Patrol organized
the company, they held a door to door survey in several areas to obtain
a general idea of how the residents felt about having police patroling
and protecting the area. The majority were in favor of it and signed the
petition to a pay a fee of $1.50 per month.. The company has been operating
for a month and a half and the job they have done is certainly commendable.
They have proved the value of their services and its need but the resi-
dents have not filled their part of the bargain. The last billing, the
department sent out over 100 bills and has received only 2 of these back.
MR. WEBSTER: We are meeting tonight to find some way to retain the
police department in our village and decide a satisfactory way of their
financing themselves with the approval of the council and village.

MR. ANDERSON: What about the township paying a percentage of the
fines to the department?
MR. WEBSTER:- The fines go into the village account which they must
do and should a percent then come out and go to the po1i~e, the village
will become involved with a private company.
MR. BEAN: Is it true that before a North Orlando policemen can serve
in the homes out of the corporate zones, he must be deputized a county
deputy?
PATROLMAN PARKER: He must be deputized first as you say but before
he can be deputized, he must prove his abilities to Sheriff Hobby of
Seminole County first.
COUNCIIMAN TEREBO: Why not apply a 3% on the dollar tax on the
utility company? In other words for every dollar they receive from the
residents, they p~y 3% to the police.
COUNCILMAN WEBSTER:- I cannot see taxing a company that has a million
and a half plant invested and trying to make a go of it.
MRS. PERKINS: It appears that all suggestions thus far have been
eliminated and with good reason therefore I suggest we hold this meeting
Tuesday evening, March 7 which is the regular council me.ting. At this
time we will have a full quorWll present.
MR. WEBSTER: I agree and motion this meeting be adjourned.
MR. TEREBO: I second the motion.
Respectfully submitted
