City Attorney Frank Kruppenbacher: Report on Senior Center: Attorney Kruppenbacher said he has looked into the Senior Center. He said the Winter Springs Senior's Corporation is a private corporation, a group of some 295 members who operate out of our Winter Springs Senior Center. They presently charge dues of $2.00 for any City resident and $3.00 for any non- City resident~ within the immediate area~ to participate in Center functions. The Corporation is made up of a 5 member Advisory Board along with officers. That Board and its officers are elected once per year. Attorney Kruppenbacher said the following represents the issues: 1. Should the City of Winter Springs have one of its facilities~ in this case~ the Senior Center, operate programs which are in effect under the umbrella of this private organization and that if someone did not pay their dues they would not be able to participate. '. . . . . Regular Meeting, City Commission, July 25, 1994 93-94-21 Page 3 Attorney Kruppenbacher said it is his understanding that we have a City employee who collects the money and remits it back to the private organization. He said it was represented to him that at the time this Center was constructed the then City Manager represented to the Seniors that this was their facility. Attorney Kruppenbacher recommended the Executive Director of the Senior Center, under the direction of the City Manager, canvass the surrounding community Senior Centers' programs to see how they are operated regarding the issue of the private association. He said then once we have that data then we could have a meeting with the general membership to discuss the issues. A report is to be given to the Commission in August. Referendum timeframe: Attorney Kruppenbacher said it was explained to him by the Supervisor of Elections that we have missed the date to get on the ballot the involuntary annexation refer- endum for the Orange Avenue area.

Mr. Martin said if we do not add anything to cover the administrative costs it would be $164.16 per year for solid waste and $26.50 for the street lighting. Discussion.
