If it took eighty (80) hours a week, it took eighty (80) hours a week, and that's just been the 'get it done' kind of attitude that every employer loves to have in an employee; so Joanne, we're just really happy to recognize you tonight!"

Fire Department Informing The City Commission As To The Information Requested Regarding The Seminole County Transportation Study. Commissioner Edward Martinez, Jf. spoke of his concerns with Senior Citizens being able to get around, and said, "I have been asking for this City to make a commitment to CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGL'ST 27, 2001 Pf\GE 3 OF 24 provide those folks with some form of transportation. Commissioner Martinez further stated, "I am requesting that you please make an effort to follow up in earneSl: on this issue and find a way to provide some transportation for the folks that can't drive anymore." Mayor Partyka commented on the public address system, as it seemed to be weak on the left side (looking out from the dais) of the Commission Chambers. Fire Chief Timothy 1. Lallathin spoke on this issue and elaborated upon several parts of his report to the Commission, and addressed the issue of "Para-transit" and other possible options. Commissioner Cindy Gennell said to Chief Lallathin, "You did a fine job!" Commissioner Gennell further stated, "While 1 do think it's important for us to go forward with the County, and eventually we will be integrated into that bus system; it's still, when it's fully done, isn't going to serve the needs that Commissioner Martinez addressed, and maybe even the Commission may want to go back and revisit the specific discussion regarding a van and transportation to that one facility and the options of only that - one type of a service, a very limited service to the Senior Center. I would not object to having that on a future Agenda myself, as a single item." Commissioner Martinez added, "I'm looking for a solution to the problem - to which we would be able to send someone to pick these people on a daily basis if needed, or once a week, whenever it is needed, bring them to the Senior Citizens Center." Commissioner Martinez then stated, "I would suggest like Commissioner Gennell said, that this be brought back as an Agenda Item, very soon." Mayor Partyka said, "So, you'll bring it back, the final report when it's available, and then at that point in time the Commission can decide what to do next." Chief Lallathin explained that this will be brought back by Mr. Earnest McDonald, Advance Planning Coordinator for the Community Development Department, who has experience in transportation matters. Deputy Mayor David W. McLeod spoke on this issue and said, "1 totally agree with Commissioner Martinez that I think it is time that we take a hard look, Mr. McLemore and not necessarily something that is a Lynx bus, but something that is perhaps a service that we may not own the bus, but a service we could contract through, that would provide the service for the handicapped, as well as the elderly, in order to have them be able to attend our Civic Center. Other communities do it, and 1 would urge that we continue to look for a way, in transportation needs that we may have to budget for, but I do think it's a well spent investment by this City." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 4 OF 24 Commissioner Gennell further spoke on the "Para-transit" and the - system that Lynx has in place. Commissioner Gennell further commented, "It's been making the news for the past two (2) or three (3) years for how badly it operates, and how they run two (2) or three (3) hours behind, and sometimes they don't show up at all. And until such ,a time as we hear in the newspaper that they are exemplary and doing a wonderful job, I don't think that it behooves us to tell our - senior citizens to rely entirely on that, if we can afford to do otherwise." INFORMATIONAL B. Finance Department Requesting The City Commission Review Information Regarding The Status Of The Utility Billing Computer Conversion. "MOTION TO APPROVE INFORMATIONAL AGENDA." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ. SECONDED. DISCUSSION.

Blake stated, "I would like to thank the Fire Chief for once again, not the first time, but once again, stepping up in an area outside of his field, but trying to bring us some help at the Commission leveL" Mayor Partyka then said, "Mr. Fire Chief, thank you very much for your support and help in doing what I call, a little bit extra." Commissioner Martinez also agreed with these comments. V. PUBLIC HEARINGS PUBLIC HEARINGS A.

CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGL'ST 27, 2001 PAGE 5 OF 24 Commissioner Blake stated, "Ron, the calculations that were done, do indeed show what I though was the case, and that is that we are not adequately collecting for the administrative fees." Manager McLemore stated, "I think there is about a three hundred dollar ($300.00) difference." Commissioner Blake then said, "The question is in the past we've had special districts such as the TLBD or the Oak Forest Wall Assessment District. We have expended funds and then charged those back to the account at a future date - and I think that is the equitable way to do that. Is there a way for us to cheaply and easily keep an accounting of that this time, and make sure that we charge back next year to this account to make sure that it is adequately funded?" Manager McLemore stated, "Louise and I have already talked about that and that's exactly what we are going to do," "MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 'A.'" MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MILLER.

Mr. Carrington advised the Commission that "Staff is here to answer questions and also the applicant, Mr. Miranda is in the audience should you have questions of the applicant. Mayor Partyka asked the applicant if he wished to speak, however he declined to do so. Discussion ensued on the actual location of the property. Commissioner Blake then expressed his concerns with "The proposed use of this property." Mayor Partyka stated, "So noted." Commissioner Martinez and Commissioner Blake inquired as to whether this property had been posted. Discussion then ensued on the posting of the property. Furthermore, in discussing whether the property had been posted, Commissioner Blake asked, "Is it the big sign from Public Works?" Commissioner Blake further stated, "In fact, the Commission did direct Ron, some time ago, when we were discussing the property over on 17-92, or near 17-92 and Nursery Road, the procedures to post a property effectively when there is a Rezoning, and this is a Rezoning. And, in fact, I remember you saying, Mr. Manager at the meeting that Commissioner Martinez just noted, to get the sign from Public Works, the big sign, and to post it, and apparently that was not done," Manager McLemore added, "That's exactly correct as I remember it." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 7 OF 24 "I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE THIS ITEM UNTlL OUR NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED COMMISSION MEETING WHICH IS - SEPTEMBER 10TH - AND THAT WILL PRESERVE THE ADVERTISING AND THAT PROPERTY WOULD BE POSTED AS THIS COMMISSION DIRECTED FOR THAT HEARING."

VOTE: DEPUTY MAYOR McLEOD: AYE COMMISSIONER MILLER: AYE COMMISSIONER BLAKE: AYE COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ: AYE COMMISSIONER GENNELL: AYE MOTION CARRIED. Deputy Mayor McLeod said to Manager McLemore, "It was very clear that eveni.ng what the Commission had asked for - also reluctant that evening by your staff, that they wanted to do that. I would hope that when the Commission asks for something in the future, and I'm glad to see the Commission call them on it, that the Staff does perform what's asked of them, and not to try to read into it." Mayor Partyka added that this Commission has a policy that "For any future Rezoning, that it be posted." VI. REGULAR REGULAR A. General Services Department Requesting That The City Commission Provide Direction In Appointinl~ Legal Counsel To Advise The Code Enforcement Board. Manager McLemore introduced this Agenda Item. Attorney Garganese then said, "I just want to point one thing out, that's not quite correct in the Agenda Item - the Florida Law does permit the City Attorney to serve as the Code Enforcement Board Attorney, however, if the City Attorney does serve in that capacity he cannot present cases to the Code Board, on behalf of the City. So the City Attorney can do either one of two things, present cases to the Board or represent the Board." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 8 OF 24 Attorney Garganese suggested, "It is a very good idea to provide training from time to time, that would be very beneficial I think, for the Board, especially if new Members are added. You should periodically update the Board regarding - case law, and what they can and cannot do." Commissioner Blake spoke of funding for an Attorney to represent the Code Enforcement Board, and inquired of Attorney Garganese, "What would you rather do? Would you rather represent the Code Board or would you rather represent the Commission?" Attorney Garganese said, "I don't have a preference." Attorney Garganese then said, "I could probably be more effective representing the Code Board." Potential conflicts of interest were then discussed. Commissioner Blake then stated, "Mayor, I am concerned that the Code Board - is one of those Boards that really does deal with people's rights. And I am concerned that - we don't give opportunities for enough training for the Code Board." Commissioner Blake then said, "I don't know if we need to provide for a full time Attorney for the Code Board, all the time. It might be appropriate in general, to have perhaps a junior member from Anthony's firm, serve on occasion when there are cases on the Agenda that may be fairly complex, to have that person available for the Code Board to use. In this particular case, I think we've already - by our previous actions decided which way to go and that is, I think we need to hire somebody from outside counsel and hopefully just keep it very short. " Tape l/Side B Commissioner Martinez said, "There are some issues however that come up, but I believe to preserve the rights of a citizen, it is more incumbent upon the City to hire an Attorney, in which case, we should have one present, if they want one present. Otherwise, I think that by a conference with you or someone in your office, that could resolve any given problem that arises and needs legal assistance, or either to have - someone physically present at the time, to dispose of one case. What I do not envision is the need for a full- time Attorney with the Code Enforcement Board." Commissioner Robert S. Miller asked Ms. Joalme Krebs, Chairperson of the Code Enforcement Board discussed how many cases may have needed the services of an Attorney over the past two (2) years. Ms. Joanne Krebs, Chairperson Of The Code Enforcement Board: spoke about training that she has received; and when an Attorney might need to be present. Commissioner Miller further said, "It would be beneficial then to the people on the Code Board if they were availed of some legal expertise, as maybe part of a Workshop where an Attorney would point out, these are the type things that you need to be aware of and then what would make you more comfortable - in those cases that come along, such as the one we just looked at in the last month or two, that an Attorney may - be present at those proceedings." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 9 OF 24 Commissioner Miller suggested, "It may not be a bad idea for this Commission to then consider some kind of a commitment, maybe financial I suppose, where we would identify maybe an Attorney who would be available from time to time, possibly not our Attorney to avoid any complications later; and provide some training - maybe eaGh time a new person comes on board, and then on those instances where you feel you're clearly in need of some Counsel. During the proceedings, there would be someone that the - Code Board could call upon and have that person attend the meeting. Whatever that would cost, I think we just need to get a handle on that and - in the budget." Ms. Krebs further asked that two (2) Alternates be appointed to the Code Enfi)rcement Board. Commissioner Miller said to Ms. Krebs, "I believe we are working that issue right now." Further discussion ensued on when Attorneys were formerly provided to the Code Enforcement Board and the Planning and Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency. Deputy Mayor McLeod suggested, "It would seem to me that the Chairperson should be able to - based on the Agenda requirements, should be able to call the Attorney for advice, prior to an Agenda Item. The problem is that only ends up with the Chairperson having the knowledge of what the Attorney said." Deputy Mayor McLeod further suggested, "Maybe we need to have a couple of educational programs with them. Maybe that the Attorney just needs to hold a couple of those educational programs and then the Attorney comes back and reports to us what his feelings and findings are after that, as to how to handle it." Further discussion ensued on caseload and the format of information on cases that is forwarded to the Code Enforcement Board. Ms. Krebs added, "I don't know if it is a judgement call. I don't know if it's something that comes up on an Agenda that I can speak with either the City Manager or somebody about what's coming up and the possibility of having - maybe foreseeing that. Or, better yet, why not have somebody from Staff ~ occasionally come in and see where we are having problems or listen to the tapes, maybe you already know; and say okay, we've been having problems here, let's get some help for them in this area." The length of meetings and what would be involved for legal advice was then discussed. Manager McLemore suggested, "Our goal should be to provide the minimum help that is needed and provide training as much as possible, so that they are comfortable in moving ahead - with these cases, and what I was going to suggest is that Anthony and I - get together with you Joanne." Manager McLemore then said that he agreed with the suggestion of providing training and added, "I would really like to bring this back at your next Meeting, and have a chance to talk with the Attorney about due process and evidence and all those things that are minimally required to make sure that we have a sound decision." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 10 OF 24 Deputy Mayor McLeod said that, "If we're talking about a $3,000.00 - $4,000.00 expenditure, it might be worth that expenditure to keep from any kind of a lawsuit, to make sure that they have the proper legal advice, and I am not saying for the Attorney to become the dictator of the policy. The Code Board still runs the meeting. The Attorney is there for advice, when asked for, or when he sees that somebody is heading down the wrong path. That seems to me to be a prudent expense." Deputy Mayor McLeod then said, "I would be willing to postpone this Item until the next Commission Meeting but at the same time, I would like to see the City Attorney and Mr. McLemore and the Chairperson to get the time together and to come back and present to us what they really feel is workable; and the Chair may not feel the same as the Manager. " Mayor Partyka advised those in attendance that "Basically, four (4) Commissioners have said, 'As needed on tern1S of an Attorney - so that's where we are right now." Deputy Mayor McLeod clarified, "I am not totally' As needed.' I'm thinking about somebody there at the meetings Mayor." Mayor Partyka said, "Okay." Commissioner Gennell said, "I have been of the opinion that it would be to our best interest and to the Code Boards interest to have somebody there at each and every meeting. I am willing to listen to other proposals, but I would have a much higher level of comfort, if they had regular support outside the Board from an Attorney." Commissioner Martinez stated, "I am saying it should be as the need arises, and I think that the Code Enforcement Manager who feeds you the cases, should have an idea, based on her experience and the process that you have been through as to whether you need an Attorney there for certain cases, and advises you or advises the City Manager; or call the City Attorney, whichever process they have in place to inforn1 them that you need legal assistance present during this time. I don't think we should spend money foolishly by just having an Attorney there sitting, listening to what is happening." "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE INSTRUCT THE CITY MANAGER TO TAKE UNDER ADVISEMENT ALL THE POINTS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP HERE THIS EVENING, BRING US BACK A LIST OF OPTIONS, SPANNING FROM ONE (1) ATTORNEY AT ALL MEETINGS, TO ONE (1) ATTORNEY AT SOME MEETINGS, TO NO ATTORNEY AT ANY MEETINGS AND WHATEVER SEEMS APPROPRIATE, BASED ON OUR INPUT HERE TODAY."

REGULAR B. Utility/Public Works Department Requesting Authorization For The City Manager To Execute A Purchase And Sale Agreement For The Acquisition Of Approximately 8.7 Acres Platted As The Hartman Industrial Park From James D. And Martha R. Hartman. Mr. Kipton D. Lockcuff, P.E., Public Works/Utility Department Director advised the Commission on several alternatives regarding the subject property. Discussion followed on the proposed purchase, and Commissioner Martinez spoke of his objection to the purchasing of the property. Mr. Lockcuff advised Commissioner Martinez that "1 do believe the Hartman piece would meet our needs for the next ten (l0) years, in and of itself. The 3.2 acres will not." Mr. Lockcuff further stated, "As for the money we have accounted for this in the Utility Enterprise Fund, we planned for it in the Bond issue, so the funds are available. It will not cause any increase in rates, in and of itself for the acquisition of this property." Commissioner Martinez further stated that he did not agree with the proposed purchase for this property. Manager McLemore said to Mr. Lockcuff, "When you say it would take care of our needs for ten (10) years, I'm talking about not only Public Works/Utility, but all our other needs in the City, as far as having a place to put all our operational type activities, storage for all of City Hall, all these various Departments, not just Public Works and Utilities." Mr. Lockcuff clarified, "1 speak only for Public Works and Utilities. 1 don't speak to the other Department's needs." Commissioner Blake inquired about the price, negotiations, and when the appraisal had been done. Commissioner Blake then said, "I have a concern as I think everybody up here knows, about the City's long tenn financial outlook and I certainly have a concern about buying property that we're not going to need for the foreseeable future. I may agree to go forward with this contract if that agreement is adjoined with an agreement to liquidate the property that we currently have, where Utilities is currently housed." Discussion followed on general fund assets. Commissioner Blake then stated, "I would be agreeable to the purchase if it's at the right price only if in conjunction with this purchase, we also agree to liquidate the holdings where we currently are located, 1:0 offset the costs of buying this." CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 12 OF 24 Discussion ensued on zoning issues related to the properties in question, Commissioner Miller asked, "What would it probably become?" Manager McLemore responded, "1 think what we would want to do is make it compatible with its surroundings," Discussion. Commissioner Gennell asked, "What happened to the thought processes that we are directing those pieces of City owned vacant property to be used for a community center in that area, which has no real Commission gathering place right there, and the additional parking that you mentioned that we really needed there?" Manager McLemore responded, "The Commission will just have to decide - what it wants to do." As Boy Scout Troop J 96 had to depart, Members of the Commission thanked them for their attendance at tonight's Meeting. Chief Lallathin spoke on parking. The use of area basketball courts was then discussed with the Commission. Tape 2/Side A Commissioner Blake then said, "1 could not support the purchase of the entire Hartman tract without knowing where the funding was going to come from overall." Commissioner Blake then spoke of the three (3) parcels and their relationship, and said, "So without raising funds for this purchase through liquidation of those surplus properties, then I could not support the purchase. 1 would have to agree with Commissioner Martinez." "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE AP)>ROVE 'ALTERNATIVE 4' OF 'ITEM B.'" MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MJ[LLER. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER GENNELL. DISCUSSION. "I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION - THAT 'VOULD BE THAT WE WILL DO A STUDY ON '9' PUBLIC WORKS AND 'A.O,' TO DETERMINE THE USES OF THOSE PROPERTIES IN THE FUTURE, AND TO DETERMINE WHAT PORTIONS OF THAT MAY BE SURPLUS AND - IF IT IS DECLARED SURPLUS, IT WOULD BE SOLD TO HELP PAY FOR ANY FUTURE CONSTRUCTION ON THE HARTMAN PROPERTY."

City Manager Requesting The Commission Reconsider The Commission's Previous Direction That The City Go Out For A RFP For Banking Services In Light Of Its Good Faith Agreement With Bank Of America. Manager McLemore introduced this Agenda Item and explained that no copy of an Agreement could be found. Commissioner Blake suggested, "If we can't find any documentation then I think we need to do something to memorialize what we thought occurred then, and I think Mr. Manager that you should have some negotiations or have your Staff have some negotiations with the bank and bring together an Agreement not longer than three (3) years, at this point in time, that would define exactly what services they will gave us and where we would received a "Favored Nations" clause type treatment which is what we discussed the last time out. And no, I don't have any interest in pulling the business from Bank of America as long as they are servicing our accounts to the level that we require."

Commissioner Blake said that he agreed with other Commissioner's suggestions of having the City Manager do the City Clerk's review, "But I would like - his work to be delivered to us no later than the next Meeting, in order to give us time to review it, and to make comments back to him, before a final version is drafted." Mayor Partyka summarized the previous comments by saying, "All of them have agreed that the City Manager basically should do the evaluation - all five (5). It's just a question of timing at this point and to a degree, should we bring it back here. And four (4) of them basically said 'Bring it back. ", CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGl'ST 27, 2001 PAGE 16 OF 24 Commissioner Blake added, "1 was setting a timeline for it to be back to US, not requesting that it be on the Agenda for discussion on that date. What I envision, is each of the five (5) of us then having the opportunity to review that, see what was said and then have an opportunity to comment back to the Manager, if at all, on things that we may see differently, because in fact, she does work for us, she does not work for him." Deputy Mayor McLeod stated, "It's not that it's going to come back here as an Agenda Item..." Commissioner Blake added, "It will on the 2ih..."

Manager McLemore advised the City Commission that "We had an issue over Section 19. and it is our recommendation that we believe that is some superfluous language, and that we adopt this, deleting Section 19." Discussion ensued on access and the Agreement with "Springs Land." Commissioner Blake stated, "As I read this, frankly it sounds to me like this is protective language for us in that it stated that 'Nothing herein shall constitute a waiver or relinquishment by Seller of its access agreement with the buyer.'" Manager McLemore said that he was :not sure CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 17 OF 24 how this was applicable. Commissioner Blake suggested, "We obviously need to look at that. " Mayor Partyka asked why we did not know the reason for this clause. Discussion followed on why this was being done prior to the Referendum being held, and what the property was appraised at. Commissioner Blake said, "I would vote for this, except for Section 19., if the Referendum were passed and for the record I will be voting for the Referendum, but I will not vote for it prior to the Referendum." Commissioner Martinez suggested that if this Item is approved tonight, that there are safeguards; and he agreed with Attorney Garganese that Section 19. did not mean anything and said, "But, I think you should deal with it, one way or another, and when you bring this back, we should have an answer." Tape 2/Side B Deputy Mayor McLeod stated that he was in disagreement with Item 19. and the "Purchase price and method of payment. I do believe our agreement is the $2.950,000.00 on the property, and I think you need to re-write that language in there from a standpoint that it is - to be perhaps any additional charitable amount that would be certified through an Appraiser would be agreed to by the Commission, Anthony, rather than putting a four million dollar ($4,000,000.00) price tag here." Deputy Mayor McLeod further stated that "I think the charitable contribution portion is something they have to prove anyhow, isn't it?" Attorney Garganese agreed and suggested "That's a very easy fix of Paragraph 2." Deputy Mayor McLeod further stated, "Would you mind fixing - Paragraph 2. - and also (c) of Paragraph 2. also." Attorney Garganese agreed with this and stated, "The purchase price would be $2,950,000.00, it would be as originally stated, that they struck out and added additional language. The purchase price will be $2,950,000.00; there will be a $50,000.00 deposit; the remaining $2,900,000.00 will be conditioned upon the approval of the Referendum, that's ~;tated in 2. (b), and if you are following along; and then Paragraph (c) will go back the way it was originally proposed, that they believe the purchase price is understated based on an appraisal, then we will agree to sign 'Internal Revenue Service Fonn 8283' just acknowledging a charitable donation, but we leave the appraisal up to them and their determination of - whatever they believe the purchase price should have been." Deputy Mayor McLeod further agreed with the original verbiage and said, "I wouldn't have a problem with the contract other than clarity of what 19. truly is." Commissioner Blake asked, "The four million dollar ($4,000,000.00) question, couldn't we handle that in number 8. with the appraisal section? That if we elect to at our cost to get the appraisal, then we would agree that the value of the property is whatever the signed professional Appraiser says it is and that any amount over $2,950,000.00 that we would agree that it's a contribution?" Further discussion ensued on the appraisal. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS MINUTES CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 18 OF 24 Commissioner Blake next suggested that "I think we ought to utilize a value that is from a Certified Appraisal and not from some number they have given us or that we make up ourselves." Attomey Garganese agreed with Commissioner Blake. Discussion ensued on the first page - "Exhibit 'A'" - and whether the word "registered" should be stricken. Manager McLemore stated, "It's the registered voters voting." Commissioner Blake added, "It doesn't say that." Manager McLemore then said, "It should." Attorney Garganese stated, "He is correct. I will insert the word 'Voting' after Winter Springs." Mayor Partyka summarized the proceedings by saying, "Paragraph 2., Paragraph 19. and Paragraph 8., plus a little bit of the technical stuff. Okay." "I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ALLOW THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE PARKER PROPERTY AND TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION, WITH ALL CORRECTIONS AND DELETIONS STATED DURING DISCUSSION AS PER SECTION 8., SECTION 2., AND SUBDIVISIONS THEREOF DELETING SECTION 19.

Ms. Frangoul explained that "The deadline in terms of complying with the Florida Statute that requires us to have Investment Training, ends on September 30t\ and it began last year, October I st."

Ms. Frangoul responded, "We'll have to arrange to have them get some additional training elsewhere. They are required to have it before September 30th." Commissioner GennelI then said, "I concur with the rest of the Commission, I would really have appreciated it much sooner." Commissioner Gennell then said, "I would encourage you, from my perspective, to look around to some of the other municipalities, and if they are doing this, find out where they have - time slots, so any of those who can't make it can avail and we can trade likewise with the other cities." Ms. Frangoul stated, "Okay." Manager McLemore then added, "There is still the question out there, whether the Commission has to do it, and that's something if I could get in the next couple of days, we could get you out of that." Commissioner GennelI added, "The same thing applies for the Pension Board Members too." Mayor Partyka then said, "I think Commissioner Gennell has a couple of good suggestions there. I think we need to look at that, then concurrently we need to find out whether this Commission actuaIIy needs to be there, so there's a two-fold assignment."

Deputy Mayor McLeod then inquired, "Did they understand what the Charter Review was?" Manager McLemore stated, "I don't think so. Their main concern was over the issue of "Ternl Limits." Their position to me was we have historically been opposed to 'Term Limits.' We are going to continue to be opposed to 'Term Limits,' and since your Charter was a revised Charter with everything in it and not having the option to vote on 'Term Limits,' then they can't support it because the enactment of it would include 'Term Limits.' Now, the fact that we already have 'Term Limits' in our City's Charter, I thought would speak for something but apparently it didn't, so what you've got is their categorical across the board lack of support for 'Term Limits. ", Deputy Mayor McLeod then commented that "I think the article really did a disservice for the Charter." Manager McLemore added, "I did ask for a meeting with the Editorial Board. I did not get that approval. I was asked to put our thoughts down on paper and provide them with a letter, which I will be composing tonight - I've already started on it.
