Public Comment: Joe Genova, Addidas Road, said at the last Commission Meeting he made reference to a committee made up of mandatory homeowners associations in the Tuscawilla Planned Unit Development. The list was published in the Tuscawilla Newsletter of July, and there are 15 associations. . Mr. Genova also said the Florida Legislature, this session, approved new legislation to regulate homeowners associations which have never been in effect. Sec. 617.305 of the Florida Statutes is created as of April 2, 1992, and the legislative history should show that the people in the Tennis Villas were directly involved when as President of that Group, Mr. Genova assisted Representative Art Simon of Miami who drafted the legislation and found that there were too many developers opposed to it. Through their efforts and the efforts of Rep. Stone and Charlotte Hattaway it was finally passed. Mr. Genova spoke about his encounter with Mr. Binford at City Hall on July 8, 1992. He said let the record show"that if Binford ever accosts me again in a like manner, I will take all legal means to see that he is confined to the psychiatric facility where he belongs." John Ferring, Benitawood Court, speaking as Chairman of the Board Of Trustees, gave an update of what has been taking place on the Pension Board of Trustees. He said in March proposals were sent out to many companies and an advertisement was placed in the Sentinel. At the meeting of June 29th, he was informed that the Florida League of Cities had not received their proposal. Upon consensus of the Board it was agreed to contact the Florida League of Cities and send them another proposal and ask them to attend a meeting here at Winter Springs. He said he contacted Joyce Case and she said the soonest they could be here would be in August. . He urged the Commissioners to read the minutes so they can see the frustration that is being built up. .
