400. REPORTS
Mr. Mike Mingea, Arborist, Urban Beautification Services Division, Community
Development Department, passed out copies of the `City of Winter Springs Tree
Information Guide' brochure and discussed this topic with the Board.
Deputy City Clerk Danielle Harker spoke to the Board regarding their Operating Budget
and how much money was proposed for Fiscal Year 2008-2009.
Regarding making changes to the brochure, Mr. Mingea said, "Drop down to the very
bottom and you see this word `the exotic pests'. Now if you wanted to ramp it up a little
bit -you could say `removal of the exotic pests invasive species' and maybe that would
kind of segregate it from..." Chairperson Bard agreed, "...That would. And it would
take up less space." Much discussion.
"I WOULD MAKE A MOTION FROM THIS BOARD THAT -THE IT
[INFORMATION SERVICES] DEPARTMENT GET TOGETHER WITH MR.
[STEVE] RICHART [URBAN BEAUTIFICATION SERVICES DIVISION
MANAGER, URBAN BEAUTIFICATION SERVICES DIVISION, COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT] TO SEE ABOUT CREATING A WEBLINK,
OR A LINK ONTO THE WEBSITE, THAT WOULD ADDRESS ARBOR
ORDINANCE; TREE ISSUES; THOSE SORT OF THINGS WITHIN THE CITY
SO THAT A CITIZEN COULD GO, SAY AFTER HOURS, AND FIND OUT
WHO TO GO TO FOR PERMITS; WHAT TREES THEY WOULD NEED
PERMITS FOR, ETC.; WHERE THEY COULD FIND A LINK TO THE ARBOR
ORDINANCE; ALL THAT." MOTION BY CHAIRPERSON BARD.

Mr. Mingea noted, "The one that I did notice that's outstandingly missing on the previous
brochure because it wasn't in place, I think, at that time when it was printed, but that's
the Arbor License for the Contractor. And it needs to be some kind of a mention,
somewhere that actually tunes, hopefully, the public and the Contractor to `you must
have an Arbor License with the City of Winter Springs to do tree removal or pruning'."
Board Member JoAnn Mattie remarked, "That is a good suggestion." Chairperson Bard
mentioned, "That is a great idea."
Board Member Roberto Carlos Acevedo arrived at 7.•32 p. m.
Chairperson Bard asked Mr. Mingea, "So, how many of these do you think you need to
do the job -what do you think the cost?" Mr. Mingea replied, "I don't have a cost
presently. We can get one (1) or more Bids for printing." Mr. Mingea continued, "We
can get a price." Chairperson Bard asked, "Would it be reasonable to say get bids and
then come back -the next Meeting?" Mr. Mingea responded by saying, "Gladly."
"I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT CITY ARBORIST GET BIDS ON THE
PRINTING OF THIS TREE INFORMATION GUIDE THAT WE ARE
CONSIDERING THIS EVENING AND COME BACK TO THE BOWS
(BEAUTIFICATION OF WINTER SPRINGS) BOARD AT THE NEXT
MEETING WITH -THE AMOUNT OF THOSE BIDS SO THAT WE CAN
MAKE A DECISION REGARDING HOW MANY BROCHURES; HOW MUCH
FUNDING WOULD GO TOWARDS THE BROCHURES." MOTION BY
