The law firm with whom he is associated, Stenstrom, Davis and McIntosh, are, also, interested in having }~. Freeman become the City Attorney for North Orlando. Mr. Freeman has agreed to do the necessary work for the Village and sit in as Judge once a month for a retainer of $600.00 per year. V!r. Freeman told !4r. McIntosh he would do the very best he could for our community. The Council still had questions to ask so Hr. Freeman waS called and asked if he could come to the meeting. The Zoning Board will attend the next regular meeting on June 5th. Dogs, ,,-.. cats, fo1iil.. and other pets '-Jill be the subject. Article 6 of the Zoning Plans will be taken up. Mr. HcIntosh and }"lrs. Green had an appointment on the 3rd with Jvlr. Kramer, the Auditor. Hr. ~lcIntosh stated that he felt that the Village had a very good book-keeper and that the books were in very good shape. Mr. Kramer said that because our Village was so small that we were in no position to make up a budget, however, he did say that lrre could keep the books just as we are now, but to keep a separate small ledge breaking down the expenditill~es for each month. After all bills are paid, take 25% of any of the revenw left over for the month and put it in a separate fund. ]v1'rr. McIntosh will pre8~ a complete picture at the next regular meeting. }~. Freeman arrived and had a very interesting discussion with the Council, trying to answer all questions presented to him. l1r. Freeman stated that the financial aspect was not important, but his main purpose would be to help the community in every way that he could. There would be a charge for all Ordinances drawn and any other matters that 1tlould take time aWay from his firm, but he would give freely of his time where it would not interfere lnth his firm. !vIr. Gerry Brown stated that North Orlando was not up with the financial standards of Casselberry and Longwooi so we were unable to pay over 600.00 per year. ~ Hr. Freeman does not believe in having a City Attorney sit in as a Municipal Judge. However, he consented to act as Judge for the next six months or until the Council feels they are financially able to hire a Judge. ,- /"- FAG'S 2 S-'~CIAt l1EETING HAY 15, 1967 Hotion vlaS made by lilT.
