With further discussion, Manager McLemore noted, "If you go and look at the - award
criteria, you almost have to do that if you indeed, you get put in a position where you
have got to say 'Yes' to some people and 'No' to others. You start wanting to know who
is really going to spend these dollars the best, based on their history. So, we want to try
to give you a data base upon which to make those kinds of decisions. That's all we're
trying to do, not really go out and audit them, but you can certainly do that."
Discussion followed on dates of applicability; getting the word out, and supporting area
organizations and those in Winter Springs. Mayor Bush said, "These groups will know
about these dates; they will get their applications in." Manager McLemore suggested,
"We would advise those that we have funded in prior years - that if you want to be
refunded, you need to do it on this day - and then the word will get out."
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs recommended, "If we are going to accept the eligibility
criteria that we in - 1. recommend that its organizations that provide charitable services to
eligible residents of Winter Springs." Commissioner Krebs added, "I would just like it to
say 'Eligible' residents or something along that line."
Manager McLemore noted, "I can change that wording to say "Organizations who make
services available to Winter Springs residents." Commissioner Krebs remarked, "That is
fine." Deputy Mayor McGinnis added, "Good." Mayor Bush said, "Okay."
Deputy Mayor McGinnis noted, "There are guidelines that you can ask for that would
answer the question - your concerns. Annual reports for example. What percent of their
budget is used for fundraising and for services?" Mayor Bush added, "Administration
costs." Deputy Mayor McGinnis then mentioned, "Other funding sources. Are they a
United Way agency, for example? So, when Staff looks at the number 2. item you refer
to, those are the kinds of things that I hope they examine carefully."
Attorney Garganese stated, "In order to be in compliance with the Florida Constitution,
two (2) things would need to be added to this with respect to eligibility requirements.
The services provided must serve a municipal purpose, number one (1); and two (2), the
Applicants that are awarded funding must execute a Municipal Services Agreement
which will have a lot of safeguards. For example, the City will have the unconditional
right to audit any of the expenditures or the funds and that will be - imposed by
Agreement, in order to ensure that the funds are expended for municipal purposes, and
that should be added to the guidelines."
Commissioner Brown commented on how Staff would process rankings and research
data. Manager McLemore explained, "What we would do is bring you the information
and I don't know that I want to rank them. I would rather just give you more of the
information and let you decide what you want to do."

Commissioner Donald A. Gilmore spoke of his concern with advising organizations
about the availability of funds and added, "I personally think that we should have a pot of
money that we want to go with and as these people want it, if whoever it is, they come
before us and we decide at that time if it is worthy or not, and if we want to contribute."
Commissioner Brown suggested that there not be an "Open enrollment period" but
instead, "I would rather see it structured in a way that we have a criteria that we follow,
but it is on a case-by-case basis."
Manager McLemore noted, "If I understand, you don't really want it to be part of a
Budget cycle. You basically want to put some money aside every year and then whoever
wants to come in, will come in during that year, whether it' mid-year or three-quarters of
the way through the year..." Commissioner Brown added, ".. . And we evaluate it against
the criteria that we will set." Manager McLemore then suggested, "You will just need to
decide, this is always the hardest question, how much money are you going to put aside
every year."
Discussion.
Commissioner Robert S. Miller said, "I would much prefer to say that we will listen to
people that may have a problem but there is no guarantee that we will do anything. There
is no money set aside and let them come and make their plea - if we feel it is a worthy
cause on that particular evening and that particular date. If three (3) of us approve it, that
is the way it will be."
Further discussion.
"I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CONTINUE ON WITH THE PREVIOUS
ARRANGEMENT WHEREIN, PEOPLE COME BEFORE US, IF THEY WANT
TO AND THEY JUSTIFY THEIR CASE; AND IF WE AGREE, THEY GET
HELP. IF WE DON'T AGREE, THEN THEY DON'T GET HELP." MOTION

take about three (3) hours; at a time when I can get you together. This is a closed session.
This is not an open session."

McLemore said, "Right." Mayor Bush asked, "And will the Firefighter's Union be

Next, Manager McLemore commented on the eagle's nest and stated, "We have filed our
Report and when we get it back for you, I will let you know."
Regarding the County Impact Fee changes for Schools, Manager McLemore asked, "We
should go back and at least ask the Commission to qualify that Ordinance by lengthening
the time for which a project would be remedied from paying an Impact Fee. Right now
on February 1, as of that date, if your project has not already been Permitted, then the
new Fees are going to come in to play. No matter if you were just Approved - on your
Final Engineering day before or six (6) months before. So, what I was hoping that we
could do is ask them to reconsider to something to the effect that if a project has already
been approved through Final Engineering, that it would be grandfathered in that process
at least for a year."

With further discussion, Manager McLemore noted, "If you go and look at the -award
criteria, you almost have to do that if you indeed, you get put in a position where you
have got to say `Yes' to some people and `No' to others. You start wanting to know who
is really going to spend these dollars the best, based on their history. So, we want to try
to give you a data base upon which to make those kinds of decisions. That's all we're
trying to do, not really go out and audit them, but you can certainly do that."
Discussion followed on dates of applicability; getting the word out, and supporting area
organizations and those in Winter Springs. Mayor Bush said, "These groups will know
about these dates; they will get their applications in." Manager McLemore suggested,
"We would advise those that we have funded in prior years -that if you want to be
refunded, you need to do it on this day -and then the word will get out."
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs recommended, "If we are going to accept the eligibility
criteria that we in - 1. recommend that its organizations that provide charitable services to
eligible residents of Winter Springs." Commissioner Krebs added, "I would just like it to
say `Eligible' residents or something along that line."
Manager McLemore noted, "I can change that wording to say "Organizations who make
services available to Winter Springs residents." Commissioner Krebs remarked, "That is
fine." Deputy Mayor McGinnis added, "Good." Mayor Bush said, "Okay."
Deputy Mayor McGinnis noted, "There are guidelines that you can ask for that would
answer the question -your concerns. Annual reports for example. What percent of their
budget is used for fundraising and for services?" Mayor Bush added, "Administration
costs." Deputy Mayor McGinnis then mentioned, "Other funding sources. Are they a
United Way agency, for example? So, when Staff looks at the number 2. item you refer
to, those are the kinds of things that I hope they examine carefully."
Attorney Garganese stated, "In order to be in compliance with the Florida Constitution,
two (2) things would need to be added to this with respect to eligibility requirements.
The services provided must serve a municipal purpose, number one (1); and two (2), the
Applicants that are awarded funding must execute a Municipal Services Agreement
which will have a lot of safeguards. For example, the City will have the unconditional
right to audit any of the expenditures or the funds and that will be -imposed by
Agreement, in order to ensure that the funds are expended for municipal purposes, and
that should be added to the guidelines."
Commissioner Brown commented on how Staff would process rankings and research
data. Manager McLemore explained, "What we would do is bring you the information
and I don't know that I want to rank them. I would rather just give you more of the
information and let you decide what you want to do."

Commissioner Donald A. Gilmore spoke of his concern with advising organizations
about the availability of funds and added, "I personally think that we should have a pot of
money that we want to go with and as these people want it, if whoever it is, they come
before us and we decide at that time if it is worthy or not, and if we want to contribute."
Commissioner Brown suggested that there not bean "Open enrollment period" but
instead, "I would rather see it structured in a way that we have a criteria that we follow,
but it is on a case-by-case basis."
Manager McLemore noted, "If I understand, you don't really want it to be part of a
Budget cycle. You basically want to put some money aside every year and then whoever
wants to come in, will come in during that year, whether it' mid-year or three-quarters of
the way through the year..." Commissioner Brown added, "...And we evaluate it against
the criteria that we will set." Manager McLemore then suggested, "You will just need to
decide, this is always the hardest question, how much money are you going to put aside
every year."
Discussion.
Commissioner Robert S. Miller said, "I would much prefer to say that we will listen to
people that may have a problem but there is no guarantee that we will do anything. There
is no money set aside and let them come and make their plea - if we feel it is a worthy
cause on that particular evening and that particular date. If three (3) of us approve it, that
is the way it will be."
Further discussion.
"I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CONTINUE ON WITH THE PREVIOUS
ARRANGEMENT WHEREIN, PEOPLE COME BEFORE US, IF THEY WANT
TO AND THEY JUSTIFY THEIR CASE; AND IF WE AGREE, THEY GET

Regarding the County Impact Fee changes for Schools, Manager McLemore asked, "We
should go back and at least ask the Commission to qualify that Ordinance by lengthening
the time for which a project would be remedied from paying an Impact Fee. Right now
on February 1, as of that date, if your project has not already been Permitted, then the
new Fees are going to come in to play. No matter if you were just Approved - on your
Final Engineering day before or six (6) months before. So, what I was hoping that we
could do is ask them to reconsider to something to the effect that if a project has already
been approved through Final Engineering, that it would be grandfathered in that process
at least for a year."
