A. Office Of The City Manager
Presentation To The City Commission On The Orlando Sanford Airport By Mr.
Larry Dale, President And Chief Executive Officer And Mr. Victor White,
Executive Vice President.
Mr. Larry Dale, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Orlando Sanford Airport
and Mr. Victor White. Executive Vice President of the Orlando Sanford Airport:
inf0rmed .i~he Commission of the viability and long range plans of the Orlando Sanford
AirpC'rt. Discussion.
Mr. Dale said, "So, our Master Plan that we are working on now does allow for the
expansion of our primary runway, that's '9Ieft.' It will be expanded to about 12,000 feet
or thereabouts, 11,000 - 12,000 feet is what - if the FAA approves that and the main
reason for that is these large airliners."
Mr. Dale stated, "Here's the primary reason there won't be a lot of traffic heading south:
Orlando International and Orlando Executive."
Mr. White then stated, "The fortunate thing that we have, and if you look at that map you
can see it, you don't have to go very far east before you are over unpopulated areas and
that is what they do with airplanes heading south; so I don't think you have any concerns
about aIr traffic coming out of Sanford headed south over Winter Springs or Oviedo
even; it's going to be turned east before it heads south."
Mr. White advised the Commission, "I think it's important also to note the timing of this.
I honestly don't think that that North/South runway is going to be extended for at least
five (5) years. It's going to take several years worth of planning, engineering, design and
environmental assessments and DR! work before it would even be approved. Plus, we
would have to raise the money to do it and get Federal and State Grants, so I think it's
five (5) plus years down the road." Mr. Dale added, "There is no money on the
immediate horizon for that; but we still have to plan it - our Master Plan for things that
the FAA wants to see us plan for and how we are going to accommodate those things."
Commissioner Blake stated, "My concern is primarily related to the North/South runway
and you've actually answered most of my questions, specifically regarding the flight path
that would occur upon approaching it from the south or taking off to the south. Is there
anyway we can get that in writing." Mr. Dale stated that they do work with the FAA, and
"We could ask to get some kind of Memorandum of Understanding out of them and we
would work towards that. You've got two (2) things going for you; one (1) most of your
City is far to the west of where that is and two (2), like I say, they are just not going to let
traffic go south and intermingle with the tremendous volume that Orlando has had and
will continue to have."

Mr. White stated, "I think it is safe to say Commissioner that the Greater Orlando
Aviation Authority would be watching us real closely on this issue too, and making sure
that they are not impacted negatively by anything we do. I mean, Larry and 1 have had
discussions for several years with their prior Executive Director about that, and it's on
their books as a concern."
Tape I/Side B
Commissioner Blake asked, "Do you see this becoming more of a problem for us - as
Or:ando Sanford grows to the point where they have much more scheduled service?" Mr.
Dale responded, "1 think you are going to have more problems with the new farthest to
the east, North/South runway at OIA because, like Victor said when he pointed that out, it
takes a beeline right at where we are standing right now. You are going to have more
problems out ofOIA than you are out of us."
Mr. Richard Grogan, 1 North Fairfax, Winter Springs, Florida: commented on the
commerce and great rates that international visitors get.
Mr. Robert Ori, 695 Canopy Court, Winter Springs. Florida: asked about an "Interlocal
Agreement requiring you to turn over Lake Jesup going east" and asked how old this was,
what were the terms, and has it been renegotiated? Mr. Dale responded, "It's not an
Interlocal- I mentioned a 'Memorandum of Understanding' with Air Traffic Control that
we would work on." Mr. Ori mentioned his preference for an Interlocal Agreement.
Mayor Partyka stated, "We have none."
Ms. Juanita Blumberg, 1130 East State Road 434, Winter Springs. Florida: spoke of her
previuus service on a Noise Abatement Committee, and asked how Orlando Sanford
Airport handles such problems. Brief comments were made.
Mayor Partyka thanked Mr. Dale and Mr. White. Mr. Dale said, "Anytime you want
something from us, come see us or we'll come down here."

and procedures that other citiesfoHow.') .. ..---.... ... . .
Further discussion. Attorney Garganese read the related Section from the Florida
Statutes. Attorney Garganese stated, "Based on your Policy, you have reserved the right
to address it at the time it occurs." Commissioner Blake agreed with Attorney
Garganese's statement.
Commissioner Blake then inquired, "What happens if they decide to seek employment
elsewhere, after that time? Then basically we have spent a lot an awful lot of the
taxpayer's money holding a position and paying somebody for work not performed when
they go elsewhere. That is a concern I have also. I think we need to have Staff do some
additional work on this and bring us back some suggestions at the next Meeting, so that
we can act on it."

Mayor Partyka asked which Policy applied to this. Mr. DeMarie advised Mayor Partyka
that it was 27.3. Discussion ensued on this and specifically regarding the authorized
time. Commissioner Blake asked, "How long does this last?" Commissioner Blake
commented that it was for the "Authorized period" and asked, "When was the authorized
period?" Mr. DeMarie responded, "According to the Military call-up." Commissioner
Blake then stated, "But it is not defined in here." Mr. DeMarie then said, "I can take care
of that." Commissioner Blake added that he felt this was a "Cloudy Policy."
Commissioner Miller spoke of the difference in pay relative to different positions held in
the Military and said, "The real question is do we want to do better than this and say
we'll give them a month, two (2) months, three (3) months pay gratis, in addition to
whatever they are already making in the military." Commissioner Miller further
suggested that for some lower ranks positions it would be nice, but "If he is a Brigadier
General, he is already making $60,000.00 a year, some taxpayers may say this is kind of
an unnecessary largess to pay him his month, two (2) months, three (3) months salary in
addition to his Brigadier General salary, so - that is something you may want to look at."
Further, Commissioner Miller said, "But I think it is very clear here, in so far as what is
the authorized time. The authorized time is whatever is specified in his orders." Mr.
DeMarie said, "I can define that further if you want." Commissioner Blake added, "That
would help."
Commissioner Gennell felt that the City's policy was clear and said, "If the Commission
desires to pay them a full month for the first month - I have no objection, over and above
the mi 1i'i:ary. "
Commissioner Blake then inquired about Section 27.4 and said "That benefits do not
occur during .this perion." Mr. DeMarie stated, "I can research it." With further
discussion, Mr. DeMarie stated that regarding "Commissioner Blake's specific question -
what does the Military provide during the time he is on active - I can look into that and
find out that answer."
City Manager Ronald W McLemor.~ arrived at 7:45 p.m.
Mr. Lockcuff left the dais at 7:45 p.m.
Mayor Partyka stated, "If there are any individual questions that maybe Commissioner
Blake has and that were brought up, you can handle that on a one-on-one basis."

Updating The City Commission Regarding The Edgemon Avenue/State Road 419
Traffic Signal.
Commissioner Gennell stated, "The way that this is being drafted to us, is not the way we
directed Staff to do it." Commissioner Gennell added, "We need the signal at Edgemon.
I am all for going forward with the signal where we directed Staff to put the signal, and
encouraging DOT to accelerate their funding, or lacking that, of us funding the signal and
waiting for them to repay us."
Commissioner Miller spoke of a recent traffic accident and said "My suggestion to City
Staff was let's find a place on that street to put one (1) light in." Commissioner Miller
added, "We need to do something and I think this is probably a good start." Further,
Commissioner Miller stated, "I would like the City Staff come back to us with some kind
of a proposal where we could put a light in there using surplus equipment that we might
buy from somebody, and what would it cost?"
Commissioner Gennell asked, "Is it not possible for the City to fund that red light and
then wait to be reimbursed by the State?" Mr. Lockcuff said, "That's our intent. They
will fund the difference, though obviously wouldn't fund the decorative portion."
Further, Commissioner Gennell stated, "My position is I don't want to hear anything
about' an alternative location because we can't afford to put the signal where it is
supposed to go and be reimbursed by the State. I do think that it is imperative that we go
ahead - point out to them the newest fatality and see if they can't expedite their plans."
Commissioner Gennell added, "But, I don't want to see it someplace else."
Discussion.
Commissioner Miller said, "If the City Manager wants to make an intelligent decision
- - .-
then he better get back to us real quick before we lose another person on that roadway, so
we can get a light on Edgemon and then we can get on with getting another light on
Moss, at some point."
Commissioner Martinez and Manager McLemore agreed that the speed limit on State
Road 419 needs to be reduced.
"I MOVE THAT WE INSTRUCT THE STAFF TO COME BACK WITH THE
PROPOSED DESIGN FOR THIS TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT EDGEMON AVENUE-.-
AND 419, AT THE NEXT MEETING - NOTHING ELSE." COMMISSIONER
GENNELL ADDED, "YOU CAN GIVE IT WITH THE ENHANCEMENTS AND

introduc.ed this Agenda Item and read from a document that was handed to Members of
the Commission regarding "Special Exceptions."
Commissioner Blake stated that regarding "The problem on 'Special Exception' 1) is that
there is no reverting back on or removal of that' Special Exception' if and when Phase III
is built. In other words, when Phase III is built with the liner buildings along 434, they
should not be allowed to have a 'Special Exception' then to have the non-transparent
glass with the liner buildings." Mr. Carrington said, "I understand. That is the intent and
maybe the wording needs to be clarified."
Much discussion ensued on the status of buildings 7 and 8 and the Developer's
Agreement with Members of the Commission; Manager McLemore; Attorney Garganese;
Mr. Charles (Chip) Carrington, Attorney for JDC Calhoun; and Mr. Herb Green,
Engineer with Avid Engineering.
.Mr. Herb Green, Engineer with Avid Engineering: "1 think the way the interpretation
should re;td is the plan you saw before you as the Preliminary Plan was the outright
intended plan for the buildings. Now, the way that reads is the site plan that we are
submitting before you tonight shows the intended buildings 7 and 8 and then the revision
of the park pod there. So, that is what we are asking approval on."
Mayor Partyka stated "Point of Order" and said, "'H' - that's already included in the
Developer's Agreement. Nothing is changed on that, is that correct?"
Mr. Green responded, "That is correct." Mayor Partyka then said, "That's correct, so in
effect, what we are doing now is approving the - current site plan." Mr. Green then said,
"Right. "
Commissioner Blake stated "Point of Order" and discussed the prior approval of the
Developer's Agreement.
With further discussion about buildings 7 and 8, Attorney Garganese said, "If your
concern is that buildings 7 and 8 may someday go away - you are approving the site plan
which incorporates buildings 7 and 8, period. I mean they are intended to exist.." Further

Mr. Carrington introduced this Agenda Item. Discussion followed the Developer's
Agreement and where the signage is to be located.
Deputy Mayor McLeod stated, "We have a site plan - drawing - site plan that shows both
these. I believe this is to scale, and I would just ask the Commissioner that - part of the
Motion be that this site plan become part of this document."
Further discussion on where the signs were to be specifically located was further
discussed. Attorney Garganese stated, "If you want to pin down a general location and
the appHcant is in agreement - we can come up with some verbiage in a Developer's
Agreement to further define the location. I think that would be acceptable."
Commissioner Blake said, "The site plan that we have shows the two (2) signs and their
location in question, but shows them as monument signs which we are specifically
excluding. My question would be, do we have the ability to draw a circle with some
radius on the site plan, stating that the'sigri will occur in that area? Would that take care-
of it?" Attorney Garganese stated, "Yes." Manager McLemore added, "I am going to
bring that exception to the site plan."
Deputy Mayor McLeod said, "What we are really being asked to approve is the
conceptual location and on their site plan, they do address a site wall with signage. Now,
later we were told they would then come back and give detailed drawings of that - sign
wall and what the signs look like; so we are really trying to approve location, conceptual
location with this 'Special Exception.'''. Manager McLemore said, "Right. I just want to
memorialize that when we get to the site plan that it is not specifically the way it is shown
on the site plan. It is the general location that's on the site plan, subject to the 'Special

Gennell '.;uggested that it "Might be helpful to some of us to have the complete
documents included in Agenda packets."
Much discussion followed on the site plans; the phases; and what is actually being

attention to one small item, building 8 on one plan has one footprint, and then on another
page it has a different footprint to it." Commissioner Gennell then said, "So, I am going

every opportunity to get all their plans in order and resubmit it."
Deputy Mayor McLeod asked, "Wasn't buildings 3 and 4 in Phase II though? And are
we are now calling that part of Phase III? I think that is part of the question." Deputy

up there, okay, under Phase II before, the drawings you had there - shows 1, 2, 3, and 4
as Phase II, and your drawings this evening - are taking out buildings 3 and 4 in that
sectar of the drawing." Manager McLemore added, "There were specific square footage
requirements tied to those agreements, of building space." Deputy Mayor McLeod
added, "It's because it is saying to be developed in the future, plus, your drawings do not
have the structural for the sewer systems and the water systems for that comer."
In response, Mr. (Chip) Carrington stated, "The buildings are depicted on the final site
plans, right?" Deputy Mayor McLeod said, "That is correct." Mr. (Chip) Carrington
continued, "So we are talking about notational narrative information that is a question.
We have already agreed to change that language - the language on the final site plan to
clarify that issue." Deputy Mayor McLeod asked, "What are we going to change that
to ?"
Mr. Green responded, "If it would please the Commission, we could - just strike it out.
The only reason we put that in there..." Deputy Mayor McLeod added, "...I understood,
you said because there is a possibility it could ~e a bigger footprint buildi_ng at th'!t
site. . ." Mr. Green said, "... Or a different circulation around the..." Manager McLemore
added, ".. .But, you could come back and amend that plan later." Mr. Green agreed and
said, "Right."
Deputy Mayor McLeod said, "I don't want to lose buildings 3 and 4 - is the question here
- of the second Phase of the agreement, if you are saying you're doing Phase I and II
right now, the second phase included buildings 3 and 4 and your Engineers have not
designed that into the site plan that we have in front of us at this time - and that's theHproblem."

Mr. (Chip) Carrington said, "The site plan doesn't create an obligation for us to build any
building on here. I mean - your hooks in us quite frankly are per the Developer's
Agreement. The site plan doesn't create an obligation for us to build any of this stuff."
Manager McLemore said, "There were obligations of square footage as I recall..." Mr.
(Chip) Carrington said, "...And that's governed by the Developer's Agreement and that
still applies. But this site plan is not an instrument by which we are obligated to build
anything, it's a site plan approval."
Manager McLemore then said, "You don't even show them on here, you don't even show
the buildings that make up that required square footage are not even shown on this plan -
that were in Phase II. But yet you are saying your site plan is for Phase I and II - the
original plan." Mr. (Chip) Carrington then said, "The buildings are shown. We've just
agreed to strike the language that he has raised as an issue." Further, Mr. (Chip)
Carrington said, "They are depicted on there; we just haven't done Final Engineering on
them because we're thinking we are going to have to bump the pad locations."
At:orney Garganese was asked by Deputy Mayor McLeod to confer with Mr. (Chip)
Carrington regarding the comer location. Commissioner Gennell added, "Could I also
ask that they also address my concerns with paragraph 'H.'"

Manager McLemore spoke of the plans and stated, "Correlating the drawings to the
document is the test." Manager McLemore explained that "What they are required to do
under the agreement is to build these buildings, which are circled in blue, including these
- three (3) buildings, this building and these buildings - and the supporting infrastructure,
is all they are required to do under Phase 1. What they are proposing to do in a future
phase or Phase II - these buildings in green - or behind the green, is what they desire to
do in Phase II." Manager McLemore then said, "Main street was in the first amendment
- was dropped out, and we all agreed to that."
Manager McLemore further explained that "Phase III is simply the - liner building in
front of Publix, which is right here and these three (3) additional buildings, so based on
what is submitted here, what we are approving - approving this site plan is fine. There is
nothing wrong with approving this site plan, even though a portion of it has not been
completed in detailed engineering because there is not intention to build there right now.
But, they can't build there until, obviously they come back in and complete the
engineering. "
Furthermore, Manager McLemore stated, "The detailed engineering covers all the
buildings that they are currently required to build under your agreement and all of the
supporting parking, water, sewer, drainage, landscaping to that. If they desire to do
Phase II, again which is in the yellow; next, in Phase III would be the liner building and
those - so, you can approve these plans - a couple of notes - that the signage that is
shown is generally representative of the location. Okay, want that note to make sure it is
not spee,ifically the way it is shown on that plan." Manager McLemore continued, "And
that all these other issues that have been brought up in here in detail. We have to clarify
these by Friday, or we'll bring it back to you at the next Meeting for approval."
Additionally, Manager McLemore advised the Commission that "As part of the
agre;ement, under the special condition, we will go back in and amend the Development
Agreement, we just want to clarify the buildings and the phases, so we don't get in this
discussion again. We'll do it by using a color map that shows very clearly what is going
to happen in Phase I, the buildings and infrastructure."
Discussion ensued on the plans, amendments and what has changed.

Further discussion.
Commissioner Gennell said, "Pull the map over so we can see the west end of Publix
which was where 'R' was involved; so you are saying they are required to do building -
is tha"l 8 there - that building..." Manager McLemore said, "... This building right here
and Publix." Commissioner Gennell then said, "The way their Developer's Agreement
currently reads - at their option they can delete that building." Attorney Garganese
responded by saying, "1 don't believe that paragraph can really be interpreted with these
new plans as originally contemplated. My read of that paragraph 'R' was they could
delete all of the buildings - in exchange, they were required to do something like a
pocket park or landscaping that was acceptable to the City during the Site Plan Review
process." Attorney Garganese then said, "They're agreeing now, based - on the
modifications and their Final Engineering, they are agreeing to build one of those
buildings on the west side of Publix - so - I don't think they can now afford themselves
of that paragraph."
Mr. Green stated, "We're proposing to build 7 and 8 by this site plan. Now, my
understanding was if I have to change that site plan, I have to come back before this body
to :set the modification to the site plan approved." Commissioner Gennell then said, "So,
you 'r~ reading it that at their option they would have the option of deleting it and coming
back here and substituting another site plan." Mr. Green said, "Without your approval of
the site plan modification and Staffs recommendation of such, we can't get that."
Attorney Garganese added, "And not only that, they would have to have the
Development Agreement, I think changed as well."
Further discussion ensued on trash dumpsters and check valves. Commissioner Gennell
asked, "And that's the only site in the whole project where they are going to be, or are
they going to be located anywhere else?" Mr. Green responded, "Publix is the only user
that uses the six (6) inch fire check valves; and the other areas - if we have that building
to the - on Main Street, the comer store there, depending on the size of that they may
require it, and we'll have to hide it in some landscape areas."

Mr. Carrington introduced this Agenda Item. Discussion.
Regarding the second building, Commissioner Miller said, "It would concern me right
now if I were to find out that in fact there was going to be a second automotive facility
next to it." Manager McLemore advised the Commission that he and Attorney Garganese
are suggesting that we "Could take all the stipulations of this 'Special Exception' and
create a Development Agreement with that, so that it would run forever with the land."
Commissioner Martinez voiced his concerns with the issue of the tow trucks. Manager
McLemore said, "I think what we stipulated was all he could do was drop off." Manager
McLtmorc added, "He cannot park his tow truck on the site."
Regarding walles), Mr. Carrington stated, "We are recommending only across the rear
property line." Commissioner Martinez asked "What happens to the properties to the
. west - there is a property to the west side that starts right here near the entrance that
would be adjacent to this property, and there are people living there." Commissioner
Martinez said to Manager McLemore, "I request you look at this also because - there are
people living there, and they need some protection." Manager McLemore said, "I think
that is probably going to be a reality, that it has to be walled. I don't think that is a
problem."
Commissioner Gennell asked, "Is this going to be rental,_or i~ this owner occupied?'.'
Mr. Ronald L. Wilson, Florida Site Selectors, Inc.: stated that "He would be living with
his family there, it would not be multiple residences." Parking on the property was next
discussed.
Deputy Mayor McLeod said, "The frontage road is fine, but I know that we are designed
right now under a single frontage road we had a discussion the last time they were here, I
am suggesting that it makes sense, I think from the City's side to move that thirty (30)
foot easement on the back sides to the front side to give you a two-way service road on
the front side." Deputy Mayor McLeod then said, "That's something I think this
Commission needs to consider as we go down the road with this thing, is what happens to
that road back there." Deputy Mayor McLeod then suggested that the applicant should

consider carefully whether a residence should be placed over a garage and specifically
advised, "You better look at the building code requirements for doing that."
Commissioner Blake commented that "I would be very concerned if there wasn't a wall
on the other two (2) sides as opposed to just on the back side." Commissioner Blake then
asked about violations and how would they be stopped. Mr. Carrington explained, "If we
have a Development Agreement, then it becomes a code violation and if in fact they are
violating the code, then it will come before the Code Board." Commissioner Blake then
asked, "Then what happens?" Attorney Garganese said, "It's a contract action, a breach
of contract, you can seek injunctive relief and enforce the provisions of the agreement,
that's what I would recommend, because - this is a 'Special Exception,' it's being
reviewed and there are operational conditions, and the best way to enforce those
operational conditions are through a Development Agreement, it runs with the land."

Chief Kerr mentioned "There was also a request during that last Meeting by the people
present for a 'Seminole Speed Hump' halfway down the street there to slow traffic down,
in addition to the other items."
Mayor Partyka opened the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item.
Ms. Rebecca G. Howie, 500 George Street, Winter Springs. Florida: addressed the
Commission on this matter and spoke of her desire to preserve the green area between the
two (2) highways; asked for the parking to be on the north side; suggested that a speed
hump would help slow down traffic; and requested increased lighting for safety.
Discussion followed on the reasoning behind the selection of where the parking is being
suggested, and where the mailboxes are located. Deputy Mayor McLeod stated, "I am
real concerned about the kids crossing the street to get to the cars." Furthermore, Deputy
Mayor McLeod said, "I definitely again would tell you - my recommendation if you are
going to go over there which I am not crazy about it but I would go along with it, that you
turn those vehicles and head them the other direction coming down that street, so that the
kids do not get out into the street."
Ms. Kimberly Fluver, 414 George Street, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of her concern
with speed bumps; safety of the children getting out of vehicles on the passenger side;
and that the narrowness of a one-way street would cause problems for the residents to get
their cars out.
Mr. Roger H. Downing, 400 George Street, Winter Springs, Florida: commented that
there have not been any accidents on this street; and suggested there should be a buffer
zone.

Ms. Carmen Bierman, 408 George Street, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of the delivery

associated with a one-way street.
Ms. Lucy A. Downing, 400 George Street, Winter Springs. Florida: did not wish to
address the Commission, but was "Opposed."
Th'? "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item was closed.
Commissioner Martinez said, "Which way do you want it? You have to let us know, and
based on what the Chief said, and what you people have said, I think we have to postpone
this here and wait for you to have some other meetings where a majority of the people
will give us an indication of exactly what you want and then we will go with the will of
the majority." Commissioner Miller agreed with Commissioner Martinez.
Deputy Mayor McLeod stated, "I am still in favor of moving that street over, and I know
there are problems to do that, but get some greenway between the - sidewalk and the
street and move the street over to accommodate adequate space to achieve what we need
to do; and that allows you to put parking - make the street wide enough to park on the
side of the street that the residents are on, and put a greenway between the sidewalk itself
and the - parking area." Deputy Mayor McLeod then spoke of problems with Wade
Street and added, "I think it definitely needs to be looked at and reconsidered."
Commissioner Blake said, "I think what we should do is have Staff send out a ballot to
each of th~ property owners, not the residences, but the property owners who are there
and perhaps instruct them that it might be a good idea to discuss with their tenants if they
happen to be a landlord situation about what they would prefer, and have ballots come
,back within a certain period of time to see if they like this plan, do not like this plan, or
want to try something different."
Commissioner Gennell stated, "I would like to see the efforts redoubled and as
Commissioner McLeod said, I think it's worth looking at and doing it right."
Additionally, Commissioner Gennell stated, "I think - the meeting notice needs to be
mailed out in the regular postal mail to the homeowners and I think we just need to get a
better feel for what really is possible out there, and just take it one step further, without
diminishing the width of the road that they have had all of these years."
Mayor Partyka stated that based on what Members of the Commission have said, "The
majority S3YS there ought to be some'kindofvotetaken:'''''Regardinghow the'vote'should'
be done, Mayor Partyka stated, "City Manager, can you handle it?" Mayor Partyka then
said, "There is going to be some kind of mailed vote that is going to be sent to the
owners. City Staff headed by the City Manager will come up with some kind of -
hopeful!y fair way with options and that's the way this thing will be handled."

Deputy Mayor McLeod further suggested, "I think you need to have a meeting with the
Staff and maybe yourself - and the notice should probably go out to the property owners,
that there's going to be a meeting to discuss some options and I think those options -
we've had here most of them before including widening the road and those things, and I
think they all need to be put on the table." Deputy Mayor McLeod then said, Perhaps the
property owners need to be contacted and educated. So that is what I see that needs to be
done Mayor, is to contact at least the property owners with - the return receipt."
Chief Kerr asked the Commission, "If we are going to send something out to the residents
asking for opinions, have them come in and meet - if we've got the liberty to give them
options that also require more expenditures of City funds, I think we need that direction
also." Deputy Mayor McLeod stated, "I think the Staff still has to come back to this
Commission with recommendations."
Further discussion followed on funding.
