Oviedo does not have staff time to allocate to a Winter Springs/Oviedo lP.A. in the
foreseeable future.

Like Oviedo, Winter Springs does not have staff time to undertake a l.P.A. process in the
foreseeable future. Winter Springs' requests that the two cities discuss the alternative of

State Road 417
Original Oviedo Request:
To determine cooperative strategies for reducing tolls on State Road 417 between Red
Bug Road and State Road 434.
Oviedo desires the two cities to discuss strategies for construction of a non-toll service
road between Red Bug and SR 434, and impacts of the proposed widening of SR 417.
Oviedo Follow Up:
Oviedo forwarded a letter to the toll road authority requesting a review of existing tolls.
The authority has not responded.
Winter Springs Follow Up:
Winter Springs pursued this matter with the toll road authority in 2002 without success.
A feasibility study performed by the authority indicated a change of tolls was not
warranted, and advised that they would not give the issue further consideration.
Winter Springs Follow Up Request:
Winter Springs requests that the issue of toll reductions be deleted from future discussion
based upon previous Winter Springs experience and recent Oviedo experience. Winter
Springs agrees with discussion on a service road and impacts of SR 417 widening.
Jetta Point Recreation
Original Winter Springs Request:
To determine the feasibility and desirability of joint Oviedo/Winter Springs, and
Seminole County utilization of Jetta Point.
Page 3 of 5
Oviedo Response:
Oviedo recognizes the need for a dog park. However, Oviedo is in the process of
completing a recreation master plan and desires to defer action until the plan is
complete this fall.
Based upon the needs under consideration in the master plan it does not appear that
Oviedo will have funds to complete its priority projects, and thus, no funds to commit to
a joint future arrangement for Jetta Point. Furthermore, Oviedo does not have a 3-5 acre
site to develop a dog park.
Seminole County Response:
Seminole County has master planned the Jetta Point site. The master plan does not
include a dog park.
The Winter Springs dog park is located on a temporary site and needs to be relocated.
Winter Springs advised the county that more than half of the users come from outside the
city indicating a need for a county facility. Winter Springs requested the county to
consider amending the master plan to include a dog park to serve the area. The request
was not well received. The county indicated an interest in finding another site.
Winter Springs Follow Up Request:
Winter Springs requests Oviedo to advise the county of its need for a dog park in Oviedo,
Oviedo's lack of space and funds, and Oviedo's desire for the county to reconsider Jetta
Point or some other site in the area that would serve city and county residents in this
area of the county with a dog park.
City/County-Wide Mosauito Control Study
Original Winter Springs Request:
To adopt mutually acceptable policy statements regarding the findings of the City/County
Study sponsored by Seminole County.
County Response:
To date the study has resulted in one formal recommendation, the county taking over
mosquito spraying county-wide.
Oviedo Response:
Oviedo has requested the county to make a presentation of the proposal to Oviedo. That
date has yet to be scheduled.
Winter Springs Follow Up:
At its March 28, 2006 Commission Meeting Winter Springs received a report from the
county on its proposal. The Commission expressed concerns with the maintenance of
city service standards and future cost escalations, and directed staff to return the proposal
to the Commission with staff recommendations.
