Report on Interlocal Agreement with County for maintenance of roads, etc.-City Attorney:
Attorney Kruppenbacher recommended the homeowners be asked to annex into the City, and
if they do not like the level of maintenance the City is providing they can continue
to be residents of the unincorporated County and should talk to their County Commiss-
ioners. Attorney Kruppenbacher explained at the time the City entered into this
Agreement there was a potential for litigation. In order to avoid that litigation
the City entered into this Agreement, with an agreement to provide the same level of
road maintenance within the area of concern that is provided elsewhere in the City.
Scott Wasmund, Orange Ave., spoke to the Commission. He said he had a copy of the
agreement, and was asking for the City to abide by the Agreement. City Engineer
Leonard Kozlov said there is to be a meeting with the County Engineer regarding this
issue.

Recommended Ballot Survey-City Attorney:
Attorney Kruppenbacher passed out surveys for the Tuscawilla common areas and the
Oak Forest areas which he received from Attorney Resichman who represents one or more
homeowner associations. The Manager's and Attorney's recommendation would be to have
staff have a simple survey that says these are the areas that you want an increased
level of maintenance, and if you do, here is the projected budget, and everybody who
owns property in the Tuscawilla PUD which will be defined, will be assessed an equal
amount, if that is the way you want to do it, for that increased level of maintenance
and then send it to the people. Oak Forest is within that PUD, but would have a separate
survey and different costs. At the next Commission Meeting the Commission will adopt
the survey as recommended by the Staff.
Mayor Kulbes called a recess at 9:00 p.m. and called the meeting back to order at
9:10 p.m.
City Manager Richard Rozansky:
Seminole County Landfill Tipping Fee/IWS Rate Increase Request;Status of new contract/
ordinance to be effective January 1, 1993:
Mayor Kulbes called a Workshop Meeting for next Monday evening to discuss the contract
and ordinance. Mr. Willis Cowdell, Assistant General Manager was present.
Review of Sec. 9-386.19 Transportation Impact Fees:
Manager Rozansky reported Staff is reviewing the fees and Commission will receive a
report at the next meeting.
.
Central Winds Park Status Report:
Manager Rozansky reported he has received the appraisal on the additional ten acres
and asked the Commission if he could start negotiations for the property. Commission
was in agreement to do that.
Billy Johnson of the Recreation Department gave a report on the problem with the
lights and said they are being remedied by Palmer Electric Company. Another problem
after all the rain we have been getting there is construction materials coming through
the clay. Manager Rozansky reported this problem will be resolved and he will report
back.
Manager Rozansky reported there will be a circus held at Central Winds Park on
November 17, 1992. It is a fund raiser for the Missing Children's Center.
Monthly reports have been distributed.
Attorney Kruppenbacher reported he has checked on the pension, and there is no problem
increasing the contribution 2%. On the Sports Commission Commissioner Jonas has agreed
not to attend the committee so as to avoid a "Sunshine" problem. So as to avoid an
issue of a public records argument Attorney Kruppenbacher recommended it would be
more prudent to create a private Winter Springs Sports Development Group.
Attorney Kruppenbacher reported the City Planner is preparing the Land Development
Regulations in-house. On the borrow pit issue, the hearing has been moved to December
11, 1992. They have filed a request to have the Commission reconsider their prior
decision, and Attorney Kruppenbacher said he would keep the Commission apprised of
the status of the matter.
