101. Office Of The Mayor
Requesting The City Commission Hear A Presentation From The Winter Springs
Chamber Task Force.
Mr. Paul P. Partyka, 934 Contravest Lane, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on behalf of
the "Winter Springs Chamber of Commerce Task Force" and introduced members of this
group. Mr. Partyka stated, "Like all starter organizations, we are short of starter funds.
We need to get a little help from the City to get us through the early growth time.
Initially we need some funding to get the Survey out to all businesses in the City and we
need things like printing, postage, letters, envelopes and we want to get a letter from the
City Mayor and the Commission adding to all the other businesses that are supporting
this and together with that letter to send this Survey out to those businesses. And we
estimate this to be roughly about five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) initially for the
Survey, mailings, and responses. Now, here is the key, if the - Surveys are positive and
we think they will be, then we would need approximately another twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000.00) for the following information, like brochures, membership
applications, stationary, etcetera at the start."
Furthermore, Mr. Partyka stated, "Now, our target is to have a minimum 100 businesses
to be viable and then we grow from there as a Chamber or other organization to be named
later. Now, once we start this Chamber, our goal is to be self-sustaining, guaranteed."
Now on behalf of the Task Force here, we are asking for a total of twenty-five thousand
[dollars] ($25,000.00), but from that twenty-five thousand [dollars] ($25,000.00), we only
want initially five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) to start the ball rolling with the Survey;
and then we will see whether we should continue or not."
Discussion.
Mayor Bush stated, "I feel very strongly that the City does need a Chamber."
Commissioner McGinnis remarked, "I support this also." Commissioner McGinnis
added, "We had a - Meeting last week, many of you business people were here. When
that Meeting ended, it was kind of unresolved whether this group would be a Chamber or
an Economic Development Committee. Am I correct?" Mayor Bush answered, "I think
the Chamber would be the Economic Development group of citizens. I think that is
where it would come from."

Mr. Partyka stated, "I call it a Chamber and interesting enough, from the Survey we'll
determine what the real focus of this Chamber is going to be. Ideally, this Chamber will
be Economic based, economically focused to bring more economic viability through
better businesses coming in. That's what you want to do. So, for a lack of a better term,
Economic Development Committee Council by way of the Chamber of Commerce.
With discussion, Deputy Mayor Michael S. Blake stated, "One thing I might want to see
though would be an actual formation of the entity along with a Charter or By-Laws
because that would embody - the foundation that we could then find a public purpose in
order to be a participant - from a financial standpoint."
Deputy Mayor Blake asked if we are "Investigating being an arm of the Greater Oviedo
Chamber of Commerce, or the Seminole Chamber of Commerce, or starting a fresh,
brand new separate entity? Because I know there have been some discussions in all those
areas and I think that would have to be clarified or should be clarified to us also."
Additionally, Deputy Mayor Blake said, "I am absolutely in support of the idea of putting
together, or helping to fund an organization for these purposes. I think the time is right."
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs stated, "I too support this." Mayor Bush noted that "Our
purpose of this Survey is to determine what is the best thing to do, because one of the key
questions from our last Meeting was independent or not or some other alliance, and - this
Survey will determine some of that; and once we know what the businesses want together
with hopefully the right kind of structure, then the rest of it just follows. And there may
be a small Economic Development Committee, but ideally the Chamber will be doing the
functions of both."
Commissioner Robert S. Miller said, "I would like to congratulate ex-Mayor Partyka for
leading this thing, or I assume you led it." Commissioner Miller added, "I understand a
lot of people have helped out, but it is time, we need this now, so I agree with everything
else that has been said on the dais."
Mayor Bush stated, "One of the things that Mr. Partyka has asked for is a letter from
myself and the Commissioners. I have drafted a letter here which I showed to Paul
[Partyka] before the Meeting started. Let me read it to you. And, if you are okay with it,
why we will send this out." Mayor Bush then read the letter.
Deputy Mayor Blake remarked, "I don't have any issues with that letter at all, in fact
while I think the Commission could okay this at this point in time, I would like to see the
contents of that come back in the form of an official Resolution that we could adopt - two
(2) weeks away."
Mayor Bush then said to the City Commission that "And, I will make sure you all get
copies of this."

Requesting The City Commission To Hear A Presentation From Bill Reischmann
Regarding Recreational Needs In Winter Springs.
Mr. Bill Reischmann, 1673 Eagle Nest Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: addressed the
City Commission and spoke on other recreational needs, and the need for a recreational
center in the City.
Discussion.
Commissioner McGinnis stated, "So there are a lot of recreational needs and whether we
need to go to the citizens and say, 'Look, are you willing to pay for this' - essentially
what it amounts to and come up with a plan - and I would support that."
Mayor Bush stated, "Mr. Reischmann has asked that we appoint an Ad-Hoc Committee, I
think that is a good idea, if that is the Commission's wishes. I think we should proceed
with that."
Manager McLemore said, "We will formulate the normal Resolution for all our Ad-Hoc
Committees. It lays out the task for you, and bring that back to you at the next Meeting
or the Meeting right after that, if that is your desire."

Deputy Mayor Blake noted previous discussions on a "Swimming Pool" and said, "There
might have been a better way when we could have found a way to partner - we have the
School Board folks here tonight, several of them; there were situations where there were
some cost sharing arrangements with some other schools or other areas of the County for
pools; but those types of funds were not available for - this situation. At the risk of
sending what is really a great down the exercise road to defeat, I think it might make even
more sense and ultimately be more successful if we not all of a sudden at one (1) Meeting
come up with this Ad-Hoc Committee that is going to go out and study how we are going
to do this and start down that same road. We have a lot of priorities. We have this Golf
Course issue that keeps coming up and what is going to happen there - and where will the
millions come from? And, yes, it will be millions, plural, if the City is going to have
some involvement there."
Additionally, Deputy Mayor Blake added, "Unless we take a look at all these priorities at
once, at one (1) Meeting, - on one (1) sheet and do sort of a strategic planning session
about where these priorities fit in - because by the way, the pool issue is still out there."
Deputy Mayor Blake then noted, "What I would like to suggest is to task our Staff to
come back with a plan of action on a five (5) or a ten (10) year strategic plan on some of
these capital items that we need."
Discussion.
Commissioner Miller stated, "I think you are on the right track. I would love to see them
get together with Staff. Do whatever that you are doing and work with the Staff. Give us
presentations from time to time. Let us know where you are at and then bring all of the
priorities to us and then we would look at it."
Then, Commissioner McGinnis said, "I agree. It is essential to work with Staff because
we do have some land options." Commissioner McGinnis added, "We have a
Consultant's report coming in about the Golf Course and all of the land around that and
that could lend itself to multi-purpose use, youth activities also - or, community sector of
some type. So, all of these things really - Staff would be very involved in this."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "I can also support a Task Force looking at this and coming
back with recommendations. But, one thing I would like to recommend is to get together
with the School Board and see if we can't partner on the use of the facilities."

AWARDS AND PRESENTIONS
103. Office Of The City Manager
Requesting The City Commission To Hear A Presentation From Kim Ornberg,
P.E., Seminole County, Supporting The Recommendation Of The Joint Advisory
Committee Regarding The Development And Implementation Of A Countywide
Mosquito Control Program.
Ms. Kim Ornberg, P.E., Seminole County, 1101 East First Street, Sanford, Florida:
presented this issue to the City Commission.
With discussion, Ms. Omberg stated, "The annual costs for the proposed County-wide
program would be around a million dollars, and that would include all of the cities."
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "So, this is going to be a significant cost increase to the City
of Winter Springs?" Ms. Omberg stated, "No, it will not. As it stands right now, the
Board of County Commissioners had agreed to take on the cost of the program and as it
stands, they are proposing at this point, to just take it out of the General Fund." Deputy
Mayor Blake added, "The entire cost and not bill any of it back to the cities?" Ms.
Omberg responded, "Correct."
Much discussion.
Regarding the costs for the service being funded by the County, Commissioner Miller
said to Ms. Omberg, "You are going to give us the same level of service with better
technique, and you are going to do it at three (3) times the cost - and as long as the
County bears that from here on out, out of their General Fund, I think I would go along
with that. But, I would want to have it in writing - an Agreement with the County that if
we join this, that our cost per capita would stay at about where it is right now, maybe
with some kind of an indexed inflation cost that would be added in."
Discussion.

Deputy Mayor Blake inquired of Ms. Omberg, "Is the County expecting to enter into an
Interlocal Agreement with each of the cities on this program, or is the County really just
letting us know what it is that they are going to do?" Ms. Omberg stated, "There had
been no discussion of Interlocals, but they did want endorsement from the cities."
Further discussion.
Mayor Bush said, "At this point, why don't we hold off on making any decision on this
so you have had time to read the material and maybe at the next Commission Meeting,
you can take action. Is that okay with everybody, or do you want to do something now?"
Mayor Bush added, "I think it would be good that maybe at the next Meeting, our Staff
who represented us on that Technical Committee would speak up."
Furthermore, Mayor Bush remarked, "Commissioners, is that agreeable that we would
put this off until our next Meeting to make a formal decision?" Deputy Mayor Blake
stated, "Yes." Commissioner McGinnis said, "Absolutely." No objections were noted.
In a related matter, Mayor Bush stated, "Also from the County, Jerry McCollum who is
an Engineer, is going to give us an update on the Seminole Cross-Seminole Trail."
Mr. Jerry McCollum, P.E., County Engineer, Seminole County, IIOI East First Street,
Sanford, Florida: spoke on the Trail system.
Tape 2/Side A
Discussion.
Manager McLemore asked, "Is the County going to continue to try to work with the City
to bring down funds for that section?" Mr. McCollum responded, "Yes Sir." Mr.
McCollum added, "We're really looking - if we do go with the red line that - it's really
kind of an interim improvement; that's what we would call the Phase I - ultimately we all
know the best alignment is something along that yellow corridor." Manager McLemore
stated, "Right."
Mr. McCollum then said, "If we do the red, we're not going to go with the yellow."
Manager McLemore stated, "My understanding is that we're really going to identifY this
as a temporary route, and it is going to be posted that way." Mr. McCollum remarked,
"Yes Sir, that is correct."

Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "Have we thought about or discussed at all the idea of not
actually providing this level of improvement on the red line but perhaps just a quick
grading and smoothing and thin coat on a - ten foot (10') corridor to provide for safe
passage that will not create a gap per se?
Mr. McCollum remarked, "In order to build the roadway - the one we showed with the
Trail separate, etcetera - you really have to re-build that whole roadway because of where
the right-of-way is. But what we can do is over the course of the next thirty (30) days or
so, we can take a look - can we get something in that area, because again, we had to
rebuild the whole road to get the Trail in there, where the ditches are located and some of
the other items, I just am not sure from an engineering point if I can meander something
through there."
Deputy Mayor Blake added, "As the Mayor said, obviously, we don't want to be the
missing link, because this could take two (2) to three (3) or even five (5) years to work
through the process and find the right timing opportunities in order to fund the yellow
line. On the same token, if we can preserve the capital dollars and not spend them on this
improvement on the red line, then that would provide a nice head start, a jump start to
have the funding in place." Mr. McCollum noted, "We can take a look at that over the
next thirty (30) days and again, we just have to see from an engineering viewpoint, can it
work and I do want to take a quick look at the safety issues." Deputy Mayor Blake
added, "If we could find a hundred thousand dollar ($100,000.00), five (5) year solution
that would - be a great trade-off. I think that would enable us to keep working on the
yellow line." Mr. McCollum commented, "We'll be happy to take a look at that."
Discussion ensued on costs associated with the Boardwalk, to which Mr. McCollum
stated, "We can finalize those numbers."
Furthermore, Mr. McCollum remarked, "As I mentioned, I will try to get back to you
through your Staff within the next thirty (30) days."
PUBLIC INPUT
Mr. Rick Brown, 211 Nandina Terrace, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on behalf of
some tenants in the Winter Springs Town Center regarding increased costs for common
areas in the Winter Springs Town Center by the Developer of the Town Center.
Mayor Bush suggested to Mr. Brown, "I think your group could meet with the
Manager on this and at some point, I would like to maybe see getting Doran in here to

that we know what the real number actually is. "
Commissioner McGinnis noted, "I would like to see this dealt with ASAP (As soon as
possible). "
Attorney Garganese spoke of Landlord and Tenant issues and suggested, "I would just
caution you on your approach and not to pit the City in between a Landlord and a
Tenant where private contractual interests are at stake. "
Ms. Diana Yarusinski, 1166 Winged Foot Circle East, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke
on the status of a Cell Tower study.
Manager McLemore said, "We actually received the Report today - have not had time to
study it. It probably will be coming to the Commission at the next Meeting; if not,
certainly the one after that."
Ms. Yarusinski then asked, "Will the public be able to review this before it comes to a
Public Hearing?" Manager McLemore said, "They're public records..." Ms. Y arusinski
then stated, "... So will it be on the W ebsite?" Manager McLemore responded, "They
could be on the Website." Ms. Yarusinski then said, "If! call the City Clerk, will she be
able to direct me where to go to find a copy?" Manager McLemore stated, "She would."
Discussion ensued on the next type of forum for this issue. Manager McLemore noted,
"It is possible that it may be the second meeting in April before we get it here." Deputy
Mayor Blake pointed out that "It may never come to the Commission - it could die before
it ever gets here."
Commissioner Krebs stated, "For the previous public input where Rick Brown was
asking for - is there a Consensus or not? The City Clerk needs a Consensus." Mayor
Bush remarked, "Consensus that he would meet with the Manager? Is everybody in
agreement?" Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Yes." Commissioner Gilmore nodded
affirmatively. No objections were voiced.

AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS
101. Office Of The Mayor
Requesting The City Commission Hear A Presentation From The Winter Springs
Chamber Task Force.
Mr. Paul P: Partyka, 934 Contravest Lane, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on behalf of
the "Winter Springs Chamber of Commerce Task Force" and introduced members of this
group. Mr. Partyka stated, "Like all starter organizations, we are short of starter funds.
We need to get a little help from the City to get us through the early growth time.
Initially we need some funding to get the Survey out to all businesses in the City and we
need things like printing, postage, letters, envelopes and we want to get a letter from the
City Mayor and the Commission adding to all the other businesses that are supporting
this and together with that letter to send this Survey out to those businesses. And we
estimate this to be roughly about five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) initially for the
Survey, mailings, and responses. Now, here is the key, if the - Surveys are positive and
we think they will be, then we would need approximately another twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000.00) for the following information, like brochures, membership
applications, stationary, etcetera at the start."
Furthermore, Mr. Partyka stated, "Now, our target is to have a minimum 100 businesses
to be viable and then we grow from there as a Chamber or other organization to be named
later. Now, once we start this Chamber, our goal is to be self-sustaining, guaranteed."
Now on behalf of the Task Force here, we are asking for a total of twenty-five thousand
[dollars] ($25,000.00), but from that twenty-five thousand [dollars] ($25,000.00), we only
want initially five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) to start the ball rolling with the Survey;
and then we will see whether we should continue or not."
Discussion.
Mayor Bush stated, "I feel very strongly that the City does need a Chamber."
Commissioner McGinnis remarked, "I support this also." Commissioner McGinnis
added, "We had a - Meeting last week, many of you business people were here. When
that Meeting ended, it was kind of unresolved whether this group would be a Chamber or
an Economic Development Committee. Am 1 correct?" Mayor Bush answered, "I think
the Chamber would be the Economic Development group of citizens. I think that is
where it would come from."

Mr. Partyka stated, "I call it a Chamber and interesting enough, from the Survey we'll
determine what the real focus of this Chamber is going to be. Ideally, this Chamber will
be Economic based, economically focused to bring more economic viability through
better businesses coming in. That's what you want to do. So, for a lack of a better term,
Economic Development Committee Council by way of the Chamber of Commerce.
With discussion, Deputy Mayor Michael S. Blake stated, "One thing I might want to see
though would be an actual formation of the entity along with a Charter or By-Laws
because that would embody - the foundation that we could then find a public purpose in
order to be a participant - from a financial standpoint."
Deputy Mayor Blake asked if we are "Investigating being an arm of the Greater Oviedo
Chamber of Commerce, or the Seminole Chamber of Commerce, or starting a fresh,
brand new separate entity? Because I know there have been some discussions in all those
areas and I think that would have to be clarified or should be clarified to us also."
Additionally, Deputy Mayor Blake said, "I am absolutely in support of the idea of putting
together, or helping to fund an organization for these purposes. I think the time is right."
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs stated, "I too support this." Mayor Bush noted that "Our
purpose of this Survey is to determine what is the best thing to do, because one of the key
questions from our last Meeting was independent or not or some other alliance, and - this
Survey will determine some of that; and once we know what the businesses want together
with hopefully the right kind of structure, then the rest of it just follows. And there may
be a small Economic Development Committee, but ideally the Chamber will be doing the
functions of both."
Commissioner Robert S. Miller said, "I would like to congratulate ex-Mayor Partyka for
leading this thing, or I assume you led it." Commissioner Miller added, "I understand a
lot of people have helped out, but it is time, we need this now, so I agree with everything
else that has been said on the dais."
Mayor Bush stated, "One of the things that Mr. Partyka has asked for is a letter from
myself and the Commissioners. I have drafted a letter here which I showed to Paul
[Partyka] before the Meeting started. Let me read it to you. And, if you are okay with it,
why we will send this out." Mayor Bush then read the letter.
Deputy Mayor Blake remarked, "I don't have any issues with that letter at all, in fact
while I think the Commission could okay this at this point in time, I would like to see the
contents of that come back in the form of an official Resolution that we could adopt - two
(2) weeks away."
Mayor Bush then said to the City Commission that "And, I will make sure you all get
copies of this."

center in the City.

Commissioner McGinnis stated, "So there are a lot of recreational needs and whether we
need to go to the citizens and say, 'Look, are you willing to pay for this' - essentially
what it amounts to and come up with a plan - and I would support that."
Mayor Bush stated, "Mr. Reischmann has asked that we appoint an Ad-Hoc Committee, I
think that is a good idea, if that is the Commission's wishes. I think we should proceed
with that."
Manager McLemore said, "We will formulate the normal Resolution for all our Ad-Hoc
Committees. It lays out the task for you, and bring that back to you at the next Meeting
or the Meeting right after that, if that is your desire."

Deputy Mayor Blake noted previous discussions on a "Swimming Pool" and said, "There
might have been a better way when we could have found a way to partner - we have the
School Board folks here tonight, several of them; there were situations where there were
some cost sharing arrangements with some other schools or other areas of the County for
pools; but those types of funds were not available for - this situation. At the risk of
sending what is really a great down the exercise road to defeat, 1 think it might make even
more sense and ultimately be more successful if we not all of a sudden at one (1) Meeting
come up with this Ad-Hoc Committee that is going to go out and study how we are going
to do this and start down that same road. We have a lot of priorities. We have this Golf
Course issue that keeps coming up and what is going to happen there - and where will the
millions come from? And, yes, it will be millions, plural, if the City is going to have
some involvement there."
Additionally, Deputy Mayor Blake added, "Unless we take a look at all these priorities at
once, at one (1) Meeting, - on one (1) sheet and do sort of a strategic planning session
about where these priorities fit in - because by the way, the pool issue is still out there."
Deputy Mayor Blake then noted, "What I would like to suggest is to task our Staff to
come back with a plan of action on a five (5) or a ten (10) year strategic plan on some of
these capital items that we need."
Discussion.
Commissioner Miller stated, "I think you are on the right track. I would love to see them
get together with Staff. Do whatever that you are doing and work with the Staff. Give us
presentations from time to time. Let us know where you are at and then bring all of the
priorities to us and then we would look at it."
Then, Commissioner McGinnis said, "I agree. It is essential to work with Staff because
we do have some land options." Commissioner McGinnis added, "We have a
Consultant's report coming in about the Golf Course and all of the land around that and
that could lend itself to multi-purpose use, youth activities also - or, community sector of
some type. So, all of these things really - Staff would be very involved in this."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "I can also support a Task Force looking at this and coming
back with recommendations. But, one thing 1 would like to recommend is to get together
with the School Board and see if we can't partner on the use of the facilities."

Requesting The City Commission To Hear A Presentation From Kim Ornberg,
P.E., Seminole County, Supporting The Recommendation Of The Joint Advisory
Committee Regarding The Development And Implementation Of A Countywide
Mosquito Control Program.
Ms. Kim Ornberg, P.E., Seminole County, 1101 East First Street, Sanford, Florida:
presented this issue to the City Commission.
With discussion, Ms. Omberg stated, "The annual costs for the proposed County-wide
program would be around a million dollars, and that would include all of the cities."
Deputy Mayor Blake said, "So, this is going to be a significant cost increase to the City
of Winter Springs?" Ms. Omberg stated, "No, it will not. As it stands right now, the
Board of County Commissioners had agreed to take on the cost of the program and as it
stands, they are proposing at this point, to just take it out of the General Fund." Deputy
Mayor Blake added, "The entire cost and not bill any of it back to the cities?" Ms.
Omberg responded, "Correct."
Much discussion.
Regarding the costs for the service being funded by the County, Commissioner Miller
said to Ms. Omberg, "You are going to give us the same level of service with better
technique, and you are going to do it at three (3) times the cost - and as long as the
County bears that from here on out, out of their General Fund, I think I would go along
with that. But, I would want to have it in writing - an Agreement with the County that if
we join this, that our cost per capita would stay at about where it is right now, maybe
with some kind of an indexed inflation cost that would be added in."

Deputy Mayor Blake inquired of Ms. Omberg, "Is the County expecting to enter into an
Interlocal Agreement with each of the cities on this program, or is the County really just
letting us know what it is that they are going to do?" Ms. Omberg stated, "There had
been no discussion of Interlocals, but they did want endorsement from the cities."
Further discussion.
Mayor Bush said, "At this point, why don't we hold off on making any decision on this
so you have had time to read the material and maybe at the next Commission Meeting,
you can take action. Is that okay with everybody, or do you want to do something now?"
Mayor Bush added, "I think it would be good that maybe at the next Meeting, our Staff
who represented us on that Technical Committee would speak up."
Furthermore, Mayor Bush remarked, "Commissioners, is that agreeable that we would
put this off until our next Meeting to make a formal decision?" Deputy Mayor Blake
stated, "Yes." Commissioner McGinnis said, "Absolutely." No objections were noted.
In a related matter, Mayor Bush stated, "Also from the County, Jerry McCollum who is
an Engineer, is going to give us an update on the Seminole Cross-Seminole Trail."
Mr. Jerry McCollum, P.E., County Engineer, Seminole County, 1101 East First Street,
Sanford, Florida: spoke on the Trail system.

Discussion.
Manager McLemore asked, "Is the County going to continue to try to work with the City
to bring down funds for that section?" Mr. McCollum responded, "Yes Sir." Mr.
McCollum added, "We're really looking - if we do go with the red line that - it's really
kind of an interim improvement; that's what we would call the Phase I - ultimately we all
know the best alignment is something along that yellow corridor." Manager McLemore
stated, "Right."
Mr. McCollum then said, "If we do the red, we're not going to go with the yellow."
Manager McLemore stated, "My understanding is that we're really going to identify this
as a temporary route, and it is going to be posted that way." Mr. McCollum remarked,
"Yes Sir, that is correct."

Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "Have we thought about or discussed at all the idea of not
actually providing this level of improvement on the red line but perhaps just a quick
grading and smoothing and thin coat on a - ten foot (10') corridor to provide for safe
passage that will not create a gap per se?"
Mr. McCollum remarked, "In order to build the roadway - the one we showed with the
Trail separate, etcetera - you really have to re-build that whole roadway because of where
the right-of-way is. But what we can do is over the course of the next thirty (30) days or
so, we can take a look - can we get something in that area, because again, we had to
rebuild the whole road to get the Trail in there, where the ditches are located and some of
the other items, I just am not sure from an engineering point if I can meander something
through there."
Deputy Mayor Blake added, "As the Mayor said, obviously, we don't want to be the
missing link, because this could take two (2) to three (3) or even five (5) years to work
through the process and find the right timing opportunities in order to fund the yellow
line. On the same token, if we can preserve the capital dollars and not spend them on this
improvement on the red line, then that would provide a nice head start, a jump start to
have the funding in place." Mr. McCollum noted, "We can take a look at that over the
next thirty (30) days and again, we just have to see from an engineering viewpoint, can it
work and I do want to take a quick look at the safety issues." Deputy Mayor Blake
added, "If we could find a hundred thousand dollar ($100,000.00), five (5) year solution
that would - be a great trade-off. I think that would enable us to keep working on the
yellow line." Mr. McCollum commented, "We'll be happy to take a look at that."
Discussion ensued on costs associated with the Boardwalk, to which Mr. McCollum
stated, "We can finalize those numbers."
Furthermore, Mr. McCollum remarked, "As I mentioned, I will try to get back to you
through your Staff within the next thirty (30) days."

Ms. Diana Yarusinski, 1166 Winged Foot Circle East, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke
on the status of a Cell Tower study.
Manager McLemore said, "We actually received the Report today - have not had time to
study it. It probably will be coming to the Commission at the next Meeting; if not,
certainly the one after that."
Ms. Yarusinski then asked, "Will the public be able to review this before it comes to a
Public Hearing?" Manager McLemore said, "They're public records. . ." Ms. Yarusinski
then stated, "... So will it be on the W ebsite?" Manager McLemore responded, "They
could be on the Website." Ms. Yarusinski then said, "If! call the City Clerk, will she be
able to direct me where to go to find a copy?" Manager McLemore stated, "She would."
Discussion ensued on the next type of forum for this issue. Manager McLemore noted,
"It is possible that it may be the second meeting in April before we get it here." Deputy
Mayor Blake pointed out that "It may never come to the Commission - it could die before
it ever gets here."
Commissioner Krebs stated, "For the previous public input where Rick Brown was

REALLY WORKS, BECAUSE THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER REFERS TO A
CERTAIN NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS, BOTH IN THE OVERALL
SUMMARY OF THE APPROVED DEVELOPMENT AND WITH RESPECT TO
THE SUMMARY OF LAND USES IN THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS - SO IT
REFERS TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF UNITS."
FURTHERMORE, ATTORNEY GARGANESE STATED, "IF YOU WANT TO
TIE THE DENSITY DOWN, I WOULD DO IT IN THE FORM OF A
LIMITATION ON THE NUMBER OF UNITS - A MAXIMUM NUMBER, NOT
TO EXCEED A CERTAIN NUMBER, SO THAT WILL FALL IN LINE WITH
THE SUMMARY OF THE APPROVED AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN
THE DRI (DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL IMPACT) ORDER."
COMMISSIONER MILLER STATED, "THAT IS WHAT I HAD IN MIND."
ATTORNEY GARGANESE ADDED, "KEEP IT GENERAL AND RELATED TO
THE NUMBER OF UNITS I THINK WOULD BE - IN ORDER."
