The law requires the first substantive issue to be discussed shall be the percent increase in millage over the rolled back rate necessary to fund the Budget, if any, and the specific purposes for which the Ad Valorem revenues are being increased. A summary of the 1991/1992 Budget along with the required tax increase notice has been published in accordance with Florida Statutes in both the Sanford Herald and the Orlando Sentinel, and Manager Rozansky said he believes we have complied and met all legal requirements. Manager Rozansky summarized the General Budget for the City is $6,077,088. Other operating funds are $5,429,125 for a total General Budget of $11,506,213.

Manager Rozansky explained the millage rate for 1991/92 is the same rate as this year 3.6153 mills. It is estimated that the Ad Valorem will raise $2,298,186. The rolled back rate for the upcoming year is 3.4045, and the increase between the rolled back rate and the proposed millage rate which is 3.6153 mills is 6.19%. The purpose of the increase is to adequately fund the General Fund Budget and provide adequate health, safety and welfare for the residents. . . .

Commissioner Partyka, aye; Commissioner Kaehler, aye; Commissioner Jonas, aye; Commissioner Langellotti, aye; motion carried. Tuscawilla Middle School (Indian Trails)-Approval/Disapproval of Final Engineering (location is to the immediate north of Keeth Elementary School): Mr. Wells from the School Board was present and said the plans have been approved by the County Staff and City Staff. Attorney Lang explained the Commission is looking at approving the school, and the other issue is the connection fees. He explained the issue is whether or not the connection fee is an impact fee in that you are asking the School Board to give you money so you can provide capacity to future users or whether or not you are asking them to reimburse you for an out of pocket capital outlay to provide them the capacity that they are getting with this school. The City will have to pay $2,000 a connection, multiplied by the number of connections that will be needed, to the seller of that utility. Either the School Board has to pay the City, and the City pays the developer, or if it is determined the School Board does not have to pay, the City will have to pay for those connections out of their pocket to the seller, because its not really an impact fee, you are just letting the seller get re- imbursed for the capacity they sold you. That issue is going to have to be resolved. Motion was made by Commissioner Partyka that we approve final engineering subject to resolution of the sewer and water issue tomorrow. Seconded by Commissioner Donnelly. Discussion.

Attorney Kruppenbacher reported the issue with Mr. Seidman has been resolved. He said he will be forwarding a memo to the Planning & Zoning Board recommending they not take any action regarding their review of the Tuscawilla P.U.D. as it relates to that golf course property until the resolution of that lawsuit in question. He said everything is on "hold" right now waiting for an opinion from him. He said he is letting the Commission know that he is telling the P&Z Board to hold on the golf course until the lawsuit is over and he is evaluating whether or not that same position should be taken for the entire P.U.D. He said he just has not concluded that final portion of the opinion yet. Commissioner Jonas asked the status of a proposal regarding pursuing a special district. Attorney Kruppenbacher explained the last time this was raised he said he would be available to meet with Mr. Khemlani and Mr. Freeman, and no one has contacted him. Manager Rozansky reported that I.W.S. requested to change the recycling pickup from Thursday to Saturday and that will correspond to their solid waste pickup in that area. Manager Rozansky said he has spoken with the Executive Director of the Highlands Home- owners Association, and they have no problem. The area it will encompass is from Moss Road west, north of State Road 434. . Manager Rozansky said he has given the merit program to the Commission; the money has been adopted and it is in the Budget. Regular Meeting, City Commission, Sept. 23, 1991 Page 4 90-91-25 . Manager Rozansky said sometime ago we were trying to sell some of our used fire hose, and the bids were too low. The Fire Chief is recommending we sell the hose to the Dept. of General Health Services in Tavares, Board of County Commissioners, Lake County. They are prepared to offer $400 for the entire lot, ten cents a foot or $5.33 a section. Manager Rozansky said that was what he was going to do unless there was an objection, and there were no objections from the Commission. Manager Rozansky spoke about the changes in the Florida Municipal Health Trust Fund drug purchasing procedures. He said he would have the Attorney look at the contract to see if they can do what they are proposing to do. Monthly reports have been distributed. Jacqueline Koch, Director of Administration/City Planner spoke about the Community Development Block Grant. She explained that the County has been receiving CDBG monies for the last six years. They receive them as an urban county which means they have to have at least 250,000 population represented by their program. In order to do that they need to get a number of the cities to contribute their population since the County is only approximately 103,000. In the past we have gone along with that. We have contributed Winter Springs population to the cause. The first three year cycle we made some attempts to get some funds for the City for the Senior Center which did not work out. The current three year cycle we haven't really applied for anything. We would have that option if we came up with a program that would fit within the federal guidelines. This is to sign the City up for another three years funding cycle for this federal funding program. This will be on the next agenda for adoption. .
