Commissioner Jonas said the Tuscawi11a Rotary Club, which he has made an effort to
change to the Winter Springs Rotary Club, will be having their Art Festival at the
park December 5th and 6th. He asked the Commission to consider having the official
opening of the park in conjunction with the Art Festival. Commission was in agree-
ment to have Commissioner Jonas take charge of the grand opening.
Commissioner Kaehler spoke about the program to help the people in Miami that was
brought up by Commissioner Whitey Eckstein of the City of Sanford at the Council
of Local Governments meeting last Wednesday evening. She said it was passed
unanimously by the members of CALNO and each of the members is to go back to their
City Commission and direct the City Managers to release two workers to go to South
Miami on a rotating basis to put roofs on houses. The City of Sanford will be co-
ordinating the effort and they will be contacting each of the City Managers for
scheduling. She said it has to be on City time because of Workmen's Comp and other
insurance considerations. The Commission was in agreement to do this.
Fiscal Year 1992-93 Tentative Budget Review:
Manager Rozansky said he asked for this Workshop Meeting because the Commission has
to set the tentative millage rate on Monday. He said the recommended millage rate
is 6.153 mills and that supports this Budget. The only changes that have been made
in this Budget was the removal of $1,200 for the cellular phones, the removal of
the administration employee $20,000 and the merit money was redistributed to each
department.
Commissioner Kaehler questioned why in the Police Department Budget, there is a
budgeted figure of $1,300,000 for salaries and there is a $9,000 increase. In the
Building Department there is a budgeted figure of $100,000 in the salary line code
and there is a $6,800 increase. Commissioner Kaehler asked for an explanation.
Commissioner Lange110tti asked if there were increases in the budget for the
Recreation Director and his assistant. Commissioner Jonas asked if the decision has
been made regarding the Senior Center and Manager Rozansky said Mrs. Coffmann will
run the Senior Center.
Mayor Ku1bes suggested the City Manager allocate $1,000 for incidental expenses for
the opening of the park.
Mr. Jonas spoke about the special taxing district.

Computerization:
Greg Kern referred to his Sept. 8th memo to the City Manager. He said at the last
Workshop he presented an outline of our information systems strategy. He said he
addressed the required steps in the implementation of that strategy. During the
past two weeks he has done extensive interviews with all current computer users and
prospective users in trying to determine what tasks they were performing in their
day to day and month to month jobs, and try to assess any shortcomings in existing
procedures, and determine what their needs are.
He reviewed his memo on the software application matrix and hardware matrix. Mr.
Kern said we know now what types of applications are needed and he is currently
getting prices on software packages,and hardware. He said he plans to get some
purchase orders within this fiscal year so that he can encumber the money that is
there right now and get the hardware, and next month get the software and the
network server.
Mr. Kern spoke about the cash register system. He said the enhanced system they are
looking at will reduce the time it takes to post the cash receipts on a daily basis.
The system he is looking at is a p.c. base system and is not tied to the NCR tower.
It can endorse multiple bank accounts and do a vast array of reports, etc. The
system will cost approximately $10,000 which includes all the software and the p.c.
They are charging us $2,200 for the 386 base p.c. Enhancement to the tower system,
cash register system and the $38,600 for hardware comes to $56,600, and it is still
within money that is set aside right now for computer enhancements. Manager
Rozansky asked the Commission if that is the way they wanted to go, and Mayor Kulbes
said to continue getting the prices.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary T. Norton,
City Clerk
