Mr. Tom Brown, 717 Adidas Court, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke on behalf of the
Wedgewood Tennis Villas on unsightly garbage containers and asked the City to pass an
Ordinance requiring Homeowner's Associations to make sure that garbage containers are
kept out of sight.
Commissioner Robert S. Miller suggested, "I think we ought to instruct Staff to see
what other cities are doing, come up with an Ordinance and then review it where
maybe you have to put them out the day of collection and take them off the street -
before midnight that night. "
Commissioner Joanne M. Krebs said, "I know that we have something on the books
that tells us when to take our trash out and when to bring it back in. I don't
necessarily think we need to go to another City to find out what they are doing, we just
need to figure out what it is what we want to do, and then do it. "
Mayor Bush noted, "Commissioners, if you agree, ask Mr. McLemore to study the
situation and come back with some recommendations. "
Commissioner Sally McGinnis added, "I would like to have Code Enforcement
involved in that. This could be a full-time Code Enforcement job, you realize that. "

this..." Mr. Brown stated, "...1 will." Mayor Bush then said, "Commission, all in
agreement on this?" Commissioner McGinnis commented, "Bring something back."

Commissioner Miller said to Ms. Sahlstrom and City Manager Ronald W. McLemore,
"Nothing irritates us more than getting a visual - a picture which was taken from some
project in Seattle, Washington or Omaha, Nebraska - and they just put it up on the screen
and it doesn't really match what is in our architectural drawings. That is the issue here.
Because you know, and the City Manager knows - we get all these things where they
show beautiful trees and it is just gorgeous and you fall in love with the picture and then
when they actually build the building, we all sit there and think to ourselves, 'That's not
what they showed us', and none of us really live in architectural blueprints. That is what
these Engineer types do. They just love that, but, they finish their building and they walk
away and then we are left explaining why it didn't look like the picture that they showed
us. So, I would suggest that you be very careful from now on."

Ms. Sahlstrom presented her opening remarks on this Agenda Item.
Commissioner Miller suggested that we "Consider asking - as part of this Aesthetic
Review, that they put some window treatments on the building."
With brief comments on the signage needing to meet Code, Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "What
you would be doing is approving it aesthetically, and then subject to it coming back for a
Development Agreement. And because the existing Development Agreement is for the
entire Kash 'n Karry tract, and also because there was some other Development
Agreements that needed to get put forward before this one." Discussion.
Mr. Eddie Muse, Design Services Incorporated (DSI), 1778 North
Park Avenue, Suite 100, Maitland, Florida: commented, "The building which was built
in St. Cloud is a smaller version of this one. Actually, it won an award from the City of
St. Cloud. The building is really meant to be clean and more contemporary - sort of
transitional is the building's style; and, the windows are being recessed deeper so that
they do stand out along with the - stucco." Commissioner Miller asked, "Will you say
that again, please?" Mr. Muse stated, "They will be recessed, slightly, so that they will
really be accentuated with the stucco."
Commissioner Miller requested of Mr. Muse, "Some kind of window treatment, Sir.
And, that's an architect thing. Maybe put a - like shade over the top of it or a border
around it to give it some definition."
Manager McLemore suggested, "You could do some window penetration on it though, in
order to give it a little more depth, I would think without compromising your design."
Next, Commissioner McGinnis asked, "They're recessed. Explain how they're
recessed." Mr. Muse stated, "Simply, take the windows and their actually stepped back.
So there is more shadow affect..." Commissioner McGinnis asked, ".. .How much?
Three inches (3"), five inches (5")?" Mr. Muse commented, "I think totally it will be
three [inches] (3")." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Okay. That's good."
Commissioner Miller said, "If this doesn't pass tonight, I will come up with some ideas
and I will give them to you that you can reconsider."

Commissioner Miller said, "It's a great looking building, Tom [Corkery], it really is. I
mean I love it. And, I am really happy that you made some major concessions and you
agreed to put those little things up there on the top that gives it a little more definition. I
think you have also agreed now to put the 45 degree things on the four (4) comers."
Furthermore, Commissioner Miller stated, "I really feel, I sincerely do that the that
entrance feature, which I know the City's asked you to put a little bit of definition on the
front so that maybe it comes out by a foot; but, two (2) of those buildings side by side -
those entrances on - State Road 434, not on the back side, on State Road 434 - they are
right up there on the roadway; and it is something you are going to build. And, I think
you know in your heart - there are better things that could be done. Whether it is
financially possible or economically feasible - that is another question."
Commissioner Miller added, "That alternative thing that - was an example - I put up
because in my opinion that entrance on [State Road] 434 that little strip market - it needs
something more - I don't really know what it is. That is my opinion. I would like to see
some alternatives, architectural type stuff, proposals come in."
With further discussion, Commissioner Miller stated, "Let me be very specific, what my
request is - to come back with some alternative proposals."
Ms. Diane Forrest, AlA, Architect, Reynolds Smith & Hills, Inc., 3670 Maguire
Boulevard, Suite 300, Orlando, Florida: stated, "I did want - to clarify that there is a
difference between the front of the building and the rear of the building and the rendering
that you're looking at is of the rear of the building. You'll see that there are notches on
each of the comers of the building which is different from the back. Just to - start from
the beginning. We worked very hard with Tom [Corkery] for over the last course of the
year to get the proper image that he's looking for and then since the beginning of this
year, also with the City of Winter Springs' Staff. They brought up some of the same
issues that you are talking about.

REGULAR MEETING - APRIL 24, 2006

We do have three (3) different types of glazing and you can see on the ground floor we
have glazing from the ceiling to the ground plane. On the upper levels, we have a smaller
window and that's the second window type. And the central bay, which we really wanted
to design as the focal feature of the building, we have glazing that runs, of course at the
entry, but all the way from the top of the canopy to the top of the third floor and this is
called spandrel glass that runs in front of the structure. So, there are three (3) different
types of glazing there. We did pop out the central bay. We raised the parapet at the
Central Bay. It drops down and then it - the parapet rises back up at the corners. We've
also come back in as Tom [Corkery] has mentioned. We've clad the canopy in granite.
We extended it out so that it is deeper than we originally had it. There's a series of reveal
work on these panels that run both horizontally and vertically that will break up the
concrete panel and the texture. So, you'll see shadow lines over the course of the day
along the buildings.
Just from the functionality standpoint of an office park, if you think about maybe your
typical office; a standard office is ten feet (10') maybe fifteen feet (15'). We've broken
up the building along that same dimension and these windows, each window would be
allowed an office within, to have its own window; which I'm sure all of you know is one
of the prime things that people are looking for when they're designing the inside of their
office space.
They also look for a very open feeling on the inside of the space that they can layout
their offices as they need be - their office space as they need to without having to deal
with a lot of jogging in and out of the plane of the building; because that makes the
interior of the space much less useful. So, there are certain industry standards that we use
to layout an office building. This being a suburban office building, is a lot smaller really
than you might think. If you think that and looked at each one of these windows really
represents ten feet (10') and you think about the width of an office, that's really not -
we're not dealing with a whole lot of building frontage here.
So, we've got each corner broken up and then we've got - roughly five (5) bays here and
then we're breaking up the front of the building as you enter, trying to put all of the
pizzazz where the people are really going to see it as they're coming into the building.
And then you've got basically - design happening on the opposite side. So, I just want to
reiterate this because we really believe that we put a lot of thought into it and we have
over the past year, year and a half. Not only with Tom, but with your Staff and then of
course the landscaping does add a whole other layer to the building.
One of the things that we wanted to do with the renderings is show you what it would
look like without the landscape and then the elevation that you have that has both
buildings shown just straight on begins to show some of the landscaping that'll be in
front of it. One of the things that we've - talked about early on when we were just siting
the buildings, was to push them a little bit closer to State Road 434 so we could put all
our parking in the back and to the sides of the building.

REGULAR MEETING - APRIL 24, 2006

And, I will say that is - really kind of an unusual scenario for a suburban office building.
Usually, you see a building ringed in parking. We decided that we wanted to do that so
that we could create a greenway basically in front of our buildings and hopefully set a
precedent for future development of this type along State Road 434 where instead of
having parking and the building and then parking beyond, we would be able to create a
nice green space or green - landscaped area in front of the building which we have done
in the landscape plans if you would look at those."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "The reveals in the front are the things that will make or
break this building. Right? They have got to be deep. These lines right here that has to
be deep and they will show it." Commissioner Gilmore then asked, "But my question
concerns the HV AC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) screen wall top, what is
that?" Ms. Forrest stated, "The material right now we have as a metal panel that's -
painted with a textured paint to help make it appear similar."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "If that is not done in pre-cast or tilt wall you are going to
have something to me that is just not going to look good."
Commissioner Gilmore added, "I really believe that from my perspective, I would not
approve that building with a sheet metal screen wall. But I think over time that is going
to look bad. It needs to be pre-cast and match the rest of the building. And, if you want
to see what happens, go look out at Quad 2 and 3 on Quadrangle Boulevard."
Ms. Forrest stated, "Our idea was to use a textured paint." Commissioner Gilmore stated,
"Textured paint is not going to solve this. And that is what you are going to end up with,
so help me it is not what is good. I would go with nothing less than a pre-cast that
matches the rest of the buildings. And recognize too, this is going to be seen from the
backside by all of the residents in Tuscawilla." Commissioner Gilmore added, "I could
not approve anything but pre-cast or a tilt."
Mr. David W McLeod, 645 Dunmar Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: stated, "We don't
disagree, I don't think, on that. I think as far as pre-cast, I don't think we do pre-cast. I'd
like to build that up with materials and then stucco the face of the screen wall to match
the face of the building and we can do that with stucco features rather than do it with a
pre-cast. Pre-cast is going to add a lot of weight to the front of that building. Okay.
Would that satisfy your concern over metal? It'll look the same."
Commissioner Gilmore remarked, "If you could guarantee - stucco will last a long time
and - hold up. That'd be one thing, but what are you going to apply the stucco to?"
Mr. McLeod stated, "We'll work with our Engineers and Architects with that - been used
on buildings, on the face of buildings, been done that way for years." Furthermore, Mr.
McLeod noted, "I know where you're coming from and we'll use another element and
features other than that.

My problem here is this - and I heard Tom [Corkery] talk very briefly on it; but Mr.
Miller, as you mentioned changing the feature, we've changed features so far as to come
across with what the City's asked us for. Now, we're being asked again to change this.
I'm very serious, this is a probably a three quarter million dollar change to one (1)
building, we've got two (2) buildings sitting here. If you change to this type of fascia
that you just pointed out - and I know you said you're not going to tell us exactly which
one to do; but, how many times did we come back before you to get a decision as what to
do.
We've gone to your Staff. We've worked with Staff. Staff said 'Yes.' We agreed to
this. We agreed to put some granite on it. Granite is an up-charge. We put granite on it
and now we're going beyond that to redesign and redefine the building again."
Additionally, Mr. McLeod commented that "One of the things I wanted to point out, this
building as you're seeing it here tonight shows it as the dark brown. I don't know if you
can pick this up off the overheads or not - we have two (2) renderings here for you. As
we stood there looking at this and we said the darker brown on the building as is in your
flyer; what we found is a dark brown that's going to stand out. As you look around the
neighborhood there, there's nothing in that deep color. The remnant that we have on the
screen is a toned down building that again, we would put the black granite on, we would
put a crown on it. We would change the lighter color in the center of it. And we think
that we'd meet the neighborhood with much more pleasing colors than this dark color.
The dark color we also feel is going to end up costing more energy to operate that
building. We're going to have a lot more solar pull on the building from the color - we'd
like to get back into the light. And as you look at this, this evening, we'd like you to take
a look at this lighter color. I think it is more friendly to that neighborhood."
Manager McLemore stated, "So, you're saying you favor the lighter color?" Mr.
McLeod stated, "Yes."
Mr. McLeod added, "I think the black granite would jump right out of that front entrance.
And, we'd be willing to bring the entrance out a little, few feet further on the front of the
building ifthat's what you want. We'll add another two feet (2') to that front entrance as
far as the overhead canopy. And, I think that would give the depth feature you're looking
for Don [Gilmore], and will satisfy the needs up on top of the wall."
Commissioner Miller said, "The way the front of the building looks right now, I don't
like it. From an aesthetic standpoint, I think it could be improved." With discussion, Mr.
McLeod stated, "I'd love to take you on a tour up to Jacksonville to see them."
Commissioner Miller stated, "I still would like to see some alternative proposals for that
entrance way for this Commission to look at." Commissioner Miller added, "I would like
to see some alternatives though." Commissioner Miller also added, "I would like to see
some - just the center part, just on the front, those three (3) pieces of glass in the center."

Manager McLemore said, "Is it possible, David [McLeod], in the Architect's perspective,
to bring those two (2) columns out, that portion out two feet (2') to give it a little more
differentiation on its face? Is that a big issue?"
Ms. Forrest stated, "Unfortunately - to do that all the way up the three (3) stories of the
building would be a cost - a fairly significant cost - we can definitively look at the
canopy. But, something that's affecting all three (3) floors, you're talking about
enlarging the structural slab, adding columns that would go three (3) stories up, you're
adding an additional roof.
There's significant impact to going out much further than we've shown it, we took it out
to get that shadow line in the front - we're trying to work really hard between what - our
clients and the area can afford, that also gets the most visual affect for what we can do."
Commissioner Krebs asked, "Could you explain again, what you suggested doing?" Mr.
McLeod stated, "On the canopy itself, is to extend an additional two feet (2') forward to
give more depth to the canopy." Mr. McLeod added, "We have agreed to use some plant
material that hasn't been tested yet, to help the City to find out what happens with these
things." Additionally, Mr. McLeod noted, "One of the other things I mentioned was the
top wall - is when we're done with the top wall, it will have the same characteristics as
the rest of the building. It may not be built out of the tilt wall, though the characteristics
will be the same."

306. Office Of The City Manager
Providing The City Commission The Cell Tower Report.
Mr. Arthur K. Peters, P.E., Consulting Engineer, 5422 Northwest 9ist Boulevard,
Gainesville, Florida: reviewed aspects of his Report with the City Commission.
Tape 4/Side A
Mr. Peters noted that he had some issues with the City's Ordinance and remarked,
"Technical need - and how would this Commission be well directed to make decisions
based on technical considerations of applications - do those technical considerations need
to be in your Ordinance? The answer is really no, but what you should have in your
Ordinance which is not there now, is a list of data or information that you require for any
kind of an Application that comes up in the future."
Next, Mr. Peters then said, "I am hoping that - your current Ordinance will be changed to
allow the communications needs of the City to be driven by the technical characteristics
of cellular systems, and not necessarily by where we think we would like a tower to be
placed; although the other half of that issue is that while the technical characteristics of
cellular systems drive the location of a cell site - certainly the aesthetic conditions, the
type of tower - the look of the tower, what's involved in the land and the character and
nature of the particular community should be a more or less a political situation."
Furthermore, Mr. Peters explained, "Presently, your Ordinance requires that there shall
be no new sites, cellular sites until all the designated sites that are currently in the
Ordinance are occupied. The map that I have provided will give you an idea that several
of those sites, one (1), two (2), three (3) of the sites, currently have nothing on them and
there is little chance that they ever will. The reason for that is that the carriers are
currently positioned in spots around the periphery of the City and - they have established
communications systems at that point. Those established cell sites are so close to the
ones that are required that it's unlikely that they'll ever place another cell site on your
particular designated points. So, I would suggest that that restriction be removed so that -
they can get on with - providing the communication services."
Discussion.
Regarding tower heights, Mr. Peters commented that, "If you decide that you want to
change your Ordinance, I can suggest some language to put in it that causes the Applicant
to give you enough information that you can verify that the tower height that they are
proposing is a necessary tower height."

that have recently been adopted, County type Ordinances and 1'd be pleased to work on
your behalf and see if we couldn't craft a pretty good Ordinance." Furthermore, Mr.
Peters suggested, "What we could do is, sort of craft this Ordinance if this is okay with
the Commission, in a way that perhaps will make the process easy, the workload that you
folks have to do, employ perhaps some requirements for Applications for new towers that

Mr. Baker presented this Agenda Item and stated, "We would recommend a couple minor
. changes - that are looking at a bunch of thirty foot (30') taIllights, we would like to see
the lights down around the twenty to twenty-two feet (20 - 22') and we have found two
(2) conflicts between some trees and some lighting. Now, there is no Code prohibition
on the thirty foot (3D') tall lights, we do believe to be more consistent with the rest of the
City to be down around the twenty to twenty-two feet (20 - 22') and there is no Code
violation with having a tree that conflicts with the light, but we don't think it's in the best
interest to have that, so we do recommend those two (2) minor modifications."
Commissioner Miller commented that he did not like the square retention pond and
stated, "There is another retention pond just behind that one..." Mr. Baker said,
"...That is off site." Commissioner Miller continued, "I know it is off site, but my
thought was it would be a much better looking area if some way could be found to just
connect it to the - probably the City would have to do it I suppose. We might end up
with a lake that's not another square retention pond. It could actually become a water
feature, that would probably really enhance the - value of that whole area."
Mayor Bush asked, "If the Commission is in agreement with Commissioner Miller,
Staff could look at this and come back with some recommendations?" Commissioner
McGinnis said, "If it is possible?" Furthermore, Mayor Bush said, "Is the

doing, 1 don't think - we limit ourselves to five (5) minutes and then go on to the next
person for five (5) - but that was the direction that was given. If you look, you can see
that we have had Amended Agendas fifty percent (50%) of the time in the Commission
Meetings that were tallied on this, and so I would like to know your thoughts and what
you think we should, or how you take care of this?"

Mayor Bush said, "I think everyone saw Mr. McLemore's response to this."
Commissioner Krebs replied, "You got the response, but you didn't know what this said."
Mayor Bush agrees, "Yes, it is true."
Commissioner Krebs says, "Obviously - if it is an emergency, it is an emergency; but
sometimes I think that excuses make it - easier to give an excuse and justify why you are
doing something as an emergency. I don't know that fifty percent (50%) of the time we
have emergencies."
Commissioner Gilmore stated, "I am not as concerned as much about the ADD-ON's as I
am sometimes about the amount of the Agenda. When I picked up my Agenda package, I
knew we were in for a - sometime between 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.; and I think
everybody else did." Commissioner Gilmore added, "I don't know why we don't put
those in the beginning. Certainly we should have the foresight on how long it's going to
take and then we have to set another Meeting, fine. But, for us to sit here until 2:30 or 3
o'clock in the morning, knowing we're going to do it - that to me is ridiculous. It is one
thing if it happens by accident, but - when we know it is going to happen, that I just don't
understand. "
Discussion ensued on holding Workshops prior to Commission Meetings.
Manager McLemore stated, "As far as the length of the Agendas, I would need to know
what your direction is, I mean, you could choose to meet on your off Monday when we
have a huge Agenda - see I don't know what to do with these other than try to get the
people's business to you as - fast as we can."
Mayor Bush commented, "One of the things I think that could be done, and Mr.
McLemore, I think, has always made himself available to the Commissioners to meet
with them - we have a lot of discussion - some people talk for fifteen (15), twenty (20)
minutes on an item. And you know, this is something that I think, if they would have sat
down with Mr. McLemore in advance, many of their questions would have been
answered and 1 think our Meetings would move a little quicker. Of course that means,
you still - have to put in the extra time, one way or the other."
Commissioner Krebs noted, "No, I don't necessarily agree with that, Mayor, because
many times I have questions after I hear other Commissioner's comments on a subject."
Commissioner Krebs continued by saying, "But you know what, that is still not the
complete issue here. Part of the issue is, when we do have ADD-ON items, we, or it's
the ADD-ON items, but it's also the fact that we get our packets later. And sometimes I
don't have the chance to review them - with as much time available as I would like."
Commissioner Krebs further stated, "And not only that - it is a snowball effect. It also
puts more pressure on that team, us, and yes, I mean, if maybe there's other solutions -
working on other Mondays - doing Monday, Tuesday?"

should have maybe broken it up or something because it's true, 1 mean, it's going to be 2
o'clock, if we're lucky, 2:30 before we even get through this."
Mayor Bush says, "Commissioners, maybe, what about this, as a recommendation - on an
ADD-ON item, that before we actually discuss it, the Commission would decide whether
or not they've had ample time to review it. And if you don't think you have, you just
have to Table it to the next Meeting. Now if it's an 'Emergency', then Mr. McLemore
would just have to make the case - 'This is truly an emergency and even though you
haven't had time to review it, we need to take the time now to do it;' and if we have to
take a recess to do it. we do it. That way, it would give the Commission the ability to
say, 'I didn't have time to look at this'; 'I don't want to go to 2 o'clock this morning'; or
whatever - and it would be your decision at that point."
Continuing the conversation, Mayor Bush stated, "We really haven't done it that way
even though 1 think we always knew we could have." Commissioner Krebs asked, "And
when do we discuss it?" Mayor Bush replied, "We would bring it up and say, 'This is an
ADD-ON. Have you had time to review it? Do you want to take it tonight?' And if you
don't, then we would say that we need to Table it or if Mr. McLemore would say - 'This
is an absolute, we've got to do it tonight because the world is going to end tomorrow.'
Then we could take a Recess, we could have time to review it, come back. 1 mean, if it is
truly an emergency."
Commissioner Krebs remarked, "Okay. So that's fine. So then now let's address - the
Office that has to wait to get all of these items until a certain time, late, just to get it out to
us - what are we going to do about that? It's our Office, she's our Clerk, she works for
us, what are we going to do?"
Manager McLemore suggested, "Now what we can do, we can try to make it all come in
by Tuesday, so that we can have everything together, hopefully, to hand over on
Wednesday; or we can - do that, and do the best we can; but those late items are going to
just continue to trickle in, but we can try to do that."
Commissioner Krebs then asked, "Whoever is preparing the items, the Department Heads
or whoever - is in charge - what is their charge? What are they charged with getting to
their time frame? And when they don't meet it, what happens? Tough?" Commissioner
Krebs continued, "If you've got ajob, you need to be able to do it."
Manager McLemore said, "We can try to have everything come in on Tuesday and try to
have everything done and ready by the end of the day on Tuesday, which means 1 have to
shift our Staff Meeting to Tuesday, because our Staff Meeting is where we try to get
everybody together and answer all of the questions that are still out there hanging."

Commissioner Krebs then stated, "Isn't that a scheduling - situation, problem or
whatever? I mean, if you have it scheduled a certain - if you move the schedule to meet
the schedule that you need - we're supposed to have it by 5 o'clock on Wednesday; so
having the Clerk's Office work until 8:00 [p.m.], what good is that doing us if we want to
come by and get our packets at 5:00 [p.m.]?" Manager McLemore said, "We will try to
do that."
Commissioner Krebs then noted, "I am not saying it is easy. It is tough. But everybody
has to buy into it, everybody from the Department Heads who are - I guess that is who
fills out these items..." Manager McLemore stated, ".. . Right. .." Commissioner Krebs
continued, ".. .Fills out these items. Everybody has to buy into it, that's the six sigma
thing. Everybody has to buy into it, otherwise it doesn't work."
Mayor Bush commented, "I agree with Commissioner Krebs here. It can't just be the
Clerk's problem. And that is kind of what it sounds like it is, it's 'Well, ifthe Clerk will
just work till 10 0' clock at night', but it also means these other people - are they working
till 10 o'clock - the night before, to get it in?"
Manager McLemore commented, "Everybody in the City is really busting up because we
are just in an unusual time frame. And I had a discussion with you about three (3) or four
(4) months ago that you're going to do three (3) years of work this year."
Commissioner Krebs says, "Well then maybe we ought to look at some things to change
that 2:30 [a.m.] Monday night thing, and I know Anthony [Garganese] you are not
available every night either, but - if we are going to have to make those types of decisions
- I just wanted to bring this out again. I know it's been a problem. I've been hearing at
every Meeting, welL not every Meeting, that is an exaggeration, but almost every
Meeting and - I just know, that I can see everybody is burdened."
Manager McLemore remarked, "We will try to make a fix here." Mayor Bush suggested,
"There might be some time that we might need to have a Monday night and then follow
up with a Tuesday night Meeting." Commissioner Krebs agreed and said, "Exactly."
Mayor Bush added, "l think it would be better to do than to try to cram things in until 2
o'clock in the morning." Commissioner Krebs said, "Mayor, I agree." Commissioner
McGinnis stated, "I do too." Manager McLemore suggested, "Or start earlier." Mayor
Bush agreed and said. "Or we could start earlier, that is true." Commissioner McGinnis
remarked, "Yes."
.....
Commissioner Miller suggested, "I think, you need to keep the Meeting moving along,
Mayor." Mayor Bush stated, "I would be glad to do that." Mayor Bush then said, "You
will start doing the jive (5) minute thing? You speak once on it and that is it?"
Commissioner Miller replied, "You know, I have never had a problem with the five (5)
minutes. I know there are several of the Commissioners that have said, 'No, I am sorry,
but I really need to get to the bottom of everything'." Mayor Bush said, "That is fine
with me."

Then, Commissioner Miller said, "Something with that particular item maybe ought to
just be Tabled until tllC next Meeting; because if people have a lot of questions and we're
going to be here all night, for an hour on an item, let's just postpone it until the next -
Commission Meeting and move on. But, I mean obviously, I am just as guilty as
everyone else becausc you allow it to happen." Mayor Bush noted, "Well, personally, 1
have always felt that it was as Elected Commissioners you should have your say on
items." Mayor Bush added, "Well, I will start enforcing the five (5) minute rule."
Commissioner Krebs inquired, "Commissioner, would you agree or not agree that if we
do have a very large Agenda that we could have the Manager look at it and say, 'Well,
this one might be where you want to break it up into two (2) Meetings;' and then have
back-to-back Meetings?" Commissioner Miller stated, "If he knows it is going to be a
three (3) or four (4) hour Meeting - and we can get it done by 11 o'clock, and that's good.
If it is a bigger Agenda than that, I think it is up to the - Mayor to keep the Meeting
moving along." Commissioner Krebs agreed and said, "Right."
Commissioner Miller then remarked, "I think it would fall apart very quickly, to be
honest with you. Because to say we automatically go to the next night, I mean, 1 don't
think any of us are going to block Mondays and Tuesdays, two (2) days a month, right, or
four (4) days a month right now, just in case." Commissioner Miller added, "I do have a
problem with late Meetings, but I think if the Meeting moves along during its entire
course, I think we can get it done a lot earlier." Mayor Bush stated, "I will start that next
Meeting with the fivc (5) minutes." Commissioner Miller added, "If we don't get
through the Agenda, that item, let's postpone it." Mayor Bush agreed and said, "Let's try
that; and then some 0 l' the other things that Commissioner Krebs has mentioned in terms
of Staff." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Good."
Manager McLemore suggested the Commission agree that "'We just can't handle this
tonight. When can vh' meet? Can we cut this up and meet another night?' - and pick a
night that everybody can meet and everybody that is here is forewarned of your date."
Commissioncr Krebs then stated, "Right, I agree to trying whatever we can to move it
along and then also at the same time though getting us our packets so - I can have time to
read them, to even ask you the questions."
Manager McLemore added, "Again on the ADD-aN's, I just need you to say, 'What's
the reason for this ADI)-ON', and put the burden on me to convince you that you need to
deal with it." Commissioncr McGinnis stated, "Okay."

have a current service and they don't want to use our service provider because the rates
are higher. After a lengthy discussion, what we agreed to was we would talk with our

Agreement from that point forward, so I will be meeting with them in the morning to talk

Packages on Developments, I will tell you, I read some of this stuff that is in these and it
sounds to me, Randy [Stevenson], like we are the salesmen for the projects. Not only do
we come out with all these flowery terms - we even put - smiley faces on the front of the
Agenda package." Commissioner Gilmore noted, "Can't we rephrase - terminology."
Commissioner Gilmore added, "I think we need to go through and recognize that our job
is to report what we see, the findings, and not be the salesmen for the project."
Mr. Stevenson replied, "We can look at that Commissioner. The Agendas are set up such
that a lot of the questions that we answer necessitate some of the more flowery language,
but we'll try to stick to reporting just the facts." Commissioner Gilmore also said, "I
understand, and leave the smiley faces off. I don't see the necessity of a smiley face."
Manager McLemore noted, "Should we not say it's a great project if it's a great project?"
Commissioner Krebs said, "I think you should. I want to know that. I want to know how
the Planner feels." Commissioner Gilmore retorted, "That's one person's opinion."
Manager McLemore said, "You're the final decision makers, but your Staff has got that
burden, particularly with Aesthetic Reviews, of trying to say we've reviewed the
Aesthetic Review and here's what we think about it, isn't that what we're supposed to
do?" Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Yes." Commissioner Krebs added, "Yes."
Commissioner Gilmore remarked, "I'm not sure that you are to do it in the manner that I
read these things." Commissioner McGinnis said, "I have no problem with it." Manager
McLemore stated, "Well, I agree, there shouldn't be smiley faces." Commissioner
McGinnis added, "I mean, I don't like the smiley face on anything." Commissioner
Gilmore remarked, "Well, you do what you have to, I - sometimes wonder if it's, I think

"Nothing irritates us more than getting a visual - a picture which was taken from some
project in Seattle, Washington or Omaha, Nebraska - and they just put it up on the screen
and it doesn't really match what is in our architectural drawings. That is the issue here.
Because you know, and the City Manager knows - we get all these things where they
show beautiful trees and it is just gorgeous and you fall in love with the picture and then
when they actually build the building, we all sit there and think to ourselves, 'That's not
what they showed us', and none of us really live in architectural blueprints. That is what
these Engineer types do. They just love that, but, they finish their building and they walk
away and then we are left explaining why it didn't look like the picture that they showed
us. So, I would suggest that you be very careful from now on."

Commissioner Miller suggested that we "Consider asking - as part of this Aesthetic
Review, that they put some window treatments on the building."
With brief comments on the signage needing to meet Code, Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "What
you would be doing is approving it aesthetically, and then subject to it coming back for a
Development Agreement. And because the existing Development Agreement is for the
entire Kash 'n Karry tract, and also because there was some other Development
Agreements that needed to get put forward before this one." Discussion.
Mr. Eddie Muse, Design Services Incorporated (DSI), 1778 North
Park Avenue, Suite 100, Maitland, Florida: commented, "The building which was built
in St. Cloud is a smaller version of this one. Actually, it won an award from the City of
St. Cloud. The building is really meant to be clean and more contemporary - sort of
transitional is the building's style; and, the windows are being recessed deeper so that
they do stand out along with the - stucco." Commissioner Miller asked, "Will you say
that again, please?" Mr. Muse stated, "They will be recessed, slightly, so that they will
really be accentuated with the stucco."
Commissioner Miller requested of Mr. Muse, "Some kind of window treatment, Sir.
And, that's an architect thing. Maybe put a - like shade over the top of it or a border
around it to give it some definition."
Manager McLemore suggested, "You could do some window penetration on it though, in
order to give it a little more depth, I would think without compromising your design."
Next, Commissioner McGinnis asked, "They're recessed. Explain how they're
recessed." Mr. Muse stated, "Simply, take the windows and their actually stepped back.
So there is more shadow affect..." Commissioner McGinnis asked, "... How much?
Three inches (3"), five inches (5")?" Mr. Muse commented, "I think totally it will be
three [inches] (3")." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Okay. That's good."

Commissioner Miller said, "It's a great looking building, Tom [Corkery], it really is. I
mean I love it. And, I am really happy that you made some major concessions and you
agreed to put those little things up there on the top that gives it a little more definition. I
think you have also agreed now to put the 45 degree things on the four (4) comers."
Furthermore, Commissioner Miller stated, "I really feel, I sincerely do that the that
entrance feature, which I know the City's asked you to put a little bit of definition on the
front so that maybe it comes out by a foot; but, two (2) of those buildings side by side -
those entrances on - State Road 434, not on the back side, on State Road 434 - they are
right up there on the roadway; and it is something you are going to build. And, I think
you know in your heart - there are better things that could be done. Whether it is
financially possible or economically feasible - that is another question."
Commissioner Miller added, "That alternative thing that - was an example - I put up
because in my opinion that entrance on [State Road] 434 that little strip market - it needs
something more - I don't really know what it is. That is my opinion. I would like to see
some alternatives, architectural type stuff, proposals come in."

request is - to come back with some alternative proposals."
Ms. Diane Forrest, AlA, Architect, Reynolds Smith & Hills, Inc., 3670 Maguire
Boulevard, Suite 300, Orlando, Florida: stated, "I did want - to clarify that there is a
difference between the front of the building and the rear of the building and the rendering
that you're looking at is of the rear of the building. You'll see that there are notches on
each of the comers of the building which is different from the back. Just to - start from
the beginning. We worked very hard with Tom [Corkery] for over the last course of the
year to get the proper image that he's looking for and then since the beginning of this
year, also with the City of Winter Springs' Staff. They brought up some of the same
issues that you are talking about.

We do have three (3) different types of glazing and you can see on the ground floor we
have glazing from the ceiling to the ground plane. On the upper levels, we have a smaller
window and that's the second window type. And the central bay, which we really wanted
to design as the focal feature of the building, we have glazing that runs, of course at the
entry, but all the way from the top of the canopy to the top of the third floor and this is
called spandrel glass that runs in front of the structure. So, there are three (3) different
types of glazing there. We did pop out the central bay . We raised the parapet at the
Central Bay. It drops down and then it - the parapet rises back up at the comers. We've
also come back in as Tom [Corkery] has mentioned. We've clad the canopy in granite.
We extended it out so that it is deeper than we originally had it. There's a series of reveal
work on these panels that run both horizontally and vertically that will break up the
concrete panel and the texture. So, you'll see shadow lines over the course of the day
along the buildings.
Just from the functionality standpoint of an office park, if you think about maybe your
typical office; a standard office is ten feet (10') maybe fifteen feet (15'). We've broken
up the building along that same dimension and these windows, each window would be
allowed an office within, to have its own window; which I'm sure all of you know is one
of the prime things that people are looking for when they're designing the inside of their
office space.
They also look for a very open feeling on the inside of the space that they can layout
their offices as they need be - their office space as they need to without having to deal
with a lot of jogging in and out of the plane of the building; because that makes the
interior of the space much less useful. So, there are certain industry standards that we use
to layout an office building. This being a suburban office building, is a lot smaller really
than you might think. If you think that and looked at each one of these windows really
represents ten feet (10') and you think about the width of an office, that's really not -
we're not dealing with a whole lot of building frontage here.
So, we've got each comer broken up and then we've got - roughly five (5) bays here and
then we're breaking up the front of the building as you enter, trying to put all of the
pizzazz where the people are really going to see it as they're coming into the building.
And then you've got basically - design happening on the opposite side. So, I just want to
reiterate this because we really believe that we put a lot of thought into it and we have
over the past year, year and a half. Not only with Tom, but with your Staff and then of
course the landscaping does add a whole other layer to the building.
One of the things that we wanted to do with the renderings is show you what it would
look like without the landscape and then the elevation that you have that has both
buildings shown just straight on begins to show some of the landscaping that'll be in
front of it. One of the things that we've - talked about early on when we were just siting
the buildings, was to push them a little bit closer to State Road 434 so we could put all
our parking in the back and to the sides of the building.

And, I will say that is - really kind of an unusual scenario for a suburban office building.
Usually, you see a building ringed in parking. We decided that we wanted to do that so
that we could create a greenway basically in front of our buildings and hopefully set a
precedent for future development of this type along State Road 434 where instead of
having parking and the building and then parking beyond, we would be able to create a
nice green space or green - landscaped area in front of the building which we have done
in the landscape plans if you would look at those."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "The reveals in the front are the things that will make or
break this building. Right? They have got to be deep. These lines right here that has to
be deep and they will show it." Commissioner Gilmore then asked, "But my question
concerns the HV AC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) screen wall top, what is
that?" Ms. Forrest stated, "The material right now we have as a metal panel that's -
painted with a textured paint to help make it appear similar."
Commissioner Gilmore said, "If that is not done in pre-cast or tilt wall you are going to
have something to me that is just not going to look good."
Commissioner Gilmore added, "I really believe that from my perspective, I would not
approve that building with a sheet metal screen wall. But I think over time that is going
to look bad. It needs to be pre-cast and match the rest of the building. And, if you want
to see what happens, go look out at Quad 2 and 3 on Quadrangle Boulevard."
Ms. Forrest stated, "Our idea was to use a textured paint." Commissioner Gilmore stated,
"Textured paint is not going to solve this. And that is what you are going to end up with,
so help me it is not what is good. I would go with nothing less than a pre-cast that
matches the rest of the buildings. And recognize too, this is going to be seen from the
backside by all of the residents in Tuscawilla." Commissioner Gilmore added, "I could
not approve anything but pre-cast or a tilt."
Mr. David W McLeod, 645 Dunmar Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: stated, "We don't
disagree, I don't think, on that. I think as far as pre-cast, I don't think we do pre-cast. I'd
like to build that up with materials and then stucco the face of the screen wall to match
the face of the building and we can do that with stucco features rather than do it with a
pre-cast. Pre-cast is going to add a lot of weight to the front of that building. Okay.
Would that satisfy your concern over metal? It'll look the same."
Commissioner Gilmore remarked, "If you could guarantee - stucco will last a long time
and - hold up. That'd be one thing, but what are you going to apply the stucco to?"
Mr. McLeod stated, "We'll work with our Engineers and Architects with that - been used
on buildings, on the face of buildings, been done that way for years." Furthermore, Mr.
McLeod noted, "I know where you're coming from and we'll use another element and
features other than that.

My problem here is this - and I heard Tom [Corkery] talk very briefly on it; but Mr.
Miller, as you mentioned changing the feature, we've changed features so far as to come
across with what the City's asked us for. Now, we're being asked again to change this.
I'm very serious, this is a probably a three quarter million dollar change to one (1)
building, we've got two (2) buildings sitting here. If you change to this type of fascia
that you just pointed out - and I know you said you're not going to tell us exactly which
one to do; but, how many times did we come back before you to get a decision as what to
do. .
We've gone to your Staff. We've worked with Staff. Staff said 'Yes.' We agreed to
this. We agreed to put some granite on it. Granite is an up-charge. We put granite on it
and now we're going beyond that to redesign and redefine the building again."
Additionally, Mr. McLeod commented that "One of the things I wanted to point out, this
building as you're seeing it here tonight shows it as the dark brown. I don't know if you
can pick this up off the overheads or not - we have two (2) renderings here for you. As
we stood there looking at this and we said the darker brown on the building as is in your
flyer; what we found is a dark brown that's going to stand out. As you look around the
neighborhood there, there's nothing in that deep color. The remnant that we have on the
screen is a toned down building that again, we would put the black granite on, we would
put a crown on it. We would change the lighter color in the center of it. And we think
that we'd meet the neighborhood with much more pleasing colors than this dark color.
The dark color we also feel is going to end up costing more energy to operate that
building. We're going to have a lot more solar pull on the building from the color - we'd
like to get back into the light. And as you look at this, this evening, we'd like you to take
a look at this lighter color. I think it is more friendly to that neighborhood."
Manager McLemore stated, "So, you're saying you favor the lighter color?" Mr.
McLeod stated, "Yes."
Mr. McLeod added, "I think the black granite would jump right out of that front entrance.
And, we'd be willing to bring the entrance out a little, few feet further on the front of the
building if that's what you want. We'll add another two feet (2') to that front entrance as
far as the overhead canopy. And, I think that would give the depth feature you're looking
for Don [Gilmore], and will satisfy the needs up on top of the wall."
Commissioner Miller said, "The way the front of the building looks right now, I don't
like it. From an aesthetic standpoint, I think it could be improved." With discussion, Mr.
McLeod stated, "I'd love to take you on a tour up to Jacksonville to see them."
Commissioner Miller stated, "I still would like to see some alternative proposals for that
entrance way for this Commission to look at." Commissioner Miller added, "I would like
to see some alternatives though." Commissioner Miller also added, "I would like to see
some - just the center part, just on the front, those three (3) pieces of glass in the center."

Manager McLemore said, "Is it possible, David [McLeod], in the Architect's perspective,
to bring those two (2) columns out, that portion out two feet (2') to give it a little more
differentiation on its face? Is that a big issue?"
Ms. Forrest stated, "Unfortunately - to do that all the way up the three (3) stories of the
building would be a cost - a fairly significant cost - we can definitively look at the
canopy. But, something that's affecting all three (3) floors, you're talking about
enlarging the structural slab, adding columns that would go three (3) stories up, you're
adding an additional roof.
There's significant impact to going out much further than we've shown it, we took it out
to get that shadow line in the front - we're trying to work really hard between what - our
clients and the area can afford, that also gets the most visual affect for what we can do."
Commissioner Krebs asked, "Could you explain again, what you suggested doing?" Mr.
McLeod stated, "On the canopy itself, is to extend an additional two feet (2') forward to
give more depth to the canopy." Mr. McLeod added, "We have agreed to use some plant
material that hasn't been tested yet, to help the City to find out what happens with these
things." Additionally, Mr. McLeod noted, "One of the other things I mentioned was the
top wall - is when we're done with the top wall, it will have the same characteristics as
the rest of the building. It may not be built out of the tilt wall, though the characteristics
will be the same."

306. Office Of The City Manager
Providing The City Commission The Cell Tower Report.
Mr. Arthur K Peters, P.E., Consulting Engineer, 5422 Northwest 91st Boulevard,
Gainesville, Florida: reviewed aspects of his Report with the City Commission.
Tape 4/Side A
Mr. Peters noted that he had some issues with the City's Ordinance and remarked,
"Technical need - and how would this Commission be well directed to make decisions
based on technical considerations of applications - do those technical considerations need
to be in your Ordinance? The answer is really no, but what you should have in your
Ordinance which is not there now, is a list of data or information that you require for any
kind of an Application that comes up in the future."
Next, Mr. Peters then said, "I am hoping that - your current Ordinance will be changed to
allow the communications needs of the City to be driven by the technical characteristics
of cellular systems, and not necessarily by where we think we would like a tower to be
placed; although the other half of that issue is that while the technical characteristics of
cellular systems drive the location of a cell site - certainly the aesthetic conditions, the
type of tower - the look of the tower, what's involved in the land and the character and
nature ofthe particular community should be a more or less a political situation."
Furthermore, Mr. Peters explained, "Presently, your Ordinance requires that there shall
be no new sites, cellular sites until all the designated sites that are currently in the
Ordinance are occupied. The map that I have provided will give you an idea that several
of those sites, one (1), two (2), three (3) of the sites, currently have nothing on them and
there is little chance that they. ever will. The reason for that is that the carriers are
currently positioned in spots around the periphery of the City and - they have established
communications systems at that point. Those established cell sites are so close to the
ones that are required that it's unlikely that they'll ever place another cell site on your
particular designated points. So, I would suggest that that restriction be removed so that -
they can get on with - providing the communication services."
Discussion.
Regarding tower heights, Mr. Peters commented that, "If you decide that you want to
change your Ordinance, I can suggest some language to put in it that causes the Applicant
to give you enough information that you can verify that the tower height that they are
proposing is a necessary tower height."

With discussion, Mr. Peters stated, "There are a couple of very good Ordinances out there
that have recently been adopted, County type Ordinances and I'd be pleased to work on
your behalf and see if we couldn't craft a pretty good Ordinance." Furthermore, Mr.
Peters suggested, "What we could do is, sort of craft this Ordinance if this is okay with
the Commission, in a way that perhaps will make the process easy, the workload that you
folks have to do, employ perhaps some requirements for Applications for new towers that
would permit review."

SF (Square Foot) Commercial Component Known As Saratoga Condominiums And
Grant A 6-Month Extension To The C-l Conditional Use Permit.
Mr. Baker presented this Agenda Item and stated, "We would recommend a couple minor
. changes - that are looking at a bunch of thirty foot (30') taIl lights, we would like to see
the lights down around the twenty to twenty-two feet (20 - 22') and we have found two
(2) conflicts between some trees and some lighting. Now, there is no Code prohibition
on the thirty foot (30') taIllights, we do believe to be more consistent with the rest of the
City to be down around the twenty to twenty-two feet (20 - 22') and there is no Code
violation with having a tree that conflicts with the light, but we don't think it's in the best
interest to have that, so we do recommend those two (2) minor modifications."
Commissioner Miller commented that he did not like the square retention pond and
stated, "There is another retention pond just behind that one..." Mr. Baker said,
"... That is off site." Commissioner Miller continued, "I know it is off site, but my
thought was it would be a much better looking area if some way could be found to just
connect it to the - probably the City would have to do it I suppose. We might end up
with a lake that's not another square retention pond. It could actually become a water
feature, that would probably really enhance the - value of that whole area."
Mayor Bush asked, "If the Commission is in agreement with Commissioner Miller,
Staff could look at this and come back with some recommendations?" Commissioner
McGinnis said, "If it is possible?" Furthermore, Mayor Bush said, "Is the
Commission in agreement with Commissioner Miller - that Staff look into this..."

maybe - whatever the Commission desires. I mean, some of the things we are not even
doing, I don't think - we limit ourselves to five (5) minutes and then go on to the next
person for five (5) - but that was the direction that was given. If you look, you can see
that we have had Amended Agendas fifty percent (50%) of the time in the Commission
Meetings that were tallied on this, and so 1 would like to know your thoughts and what
you think we should, or how you take care of this?"

Mayor Bush said, "I think everyone saw Mr. McLemore's response to this."
Commissioner Krebs replied, "You got the response, but you didn't know what this said."
Mayor Bush agrees, "Yes, it is true."
Commissioner Krebs says, "Obviously - if it is an emergency, it is an emergency; but
sometimes I think that excuses make it - easier to give an excuse and justify why you are
doing something as an emergency. I don't know that fifty percent (50%) of the time we
have emergencies."
Commissioner Gilmore stated, "I am not as concerned as much about the ADD-ON's as I
am sometimes about the amount of the Agenda. When I picked up my Agenda package, I
knew we were in for a - sometime between 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.; and 1 think
everybody else did." Commissioner Gilmore added, "I don't know why we don't put
those in the beginning. Certainly we should have the foresight on how long it's going to
take and then we have to set another Meeting, fine. But, for us to sit here until 2:30 or 3
o'clock in the morning, knowing we're going to do it - that to me is ridiculous. It is one
thing if it happens by accident, but - when we know it is going to happen, that I just don't
understand. "
Discussion ensued on holding Workshops prior to Commission Meetings.
Manager McLemore stated, "As far as the length of the Agendas, I would need to know
what your direction is, I mean, you could choose to meet on your off Monday when we
have a huge Agenda - see I don't know what to do with these other than try to get the
people's business to you as - fast as we can."
Mayor Bush commented, "One of the things I think that could be done, and Mr.
McLemore, I think, has always made himself available to the Commissioners to meet
with them - we have a lot of discussion - some people talk for fifteen (15), twenty (20)
minutes on an item. And you know, this is something that I think, if they would have sat
down with Mr. McLemore in advance, many of their questions would have been
answered and I think our Meetings would move a little quicker. Of course that means,
you still - have to put in the extra time, one way or the other."
Commissioner Krebs noted, "No, I don't necessarily agree with that, Mayor, because
many times I have questions after I hear other Commissioner's comments on a subject."
Commissioner Krebs continued by saying, "But you know what, that is still not the
complete issue here. Part of the issue is, when we do have ADD-ON items, we, or it's
the ADD-ON items, but it's also the fact that we get our packets later. And sometimes I
don't have the chance to review them - with as much time available as I would like."
Commissioner Krebs further stated, "And not only that - it is a snowball effect. It also
puts more pressure on that team, us, and yes, I mean, if maybe there's other solutions -
working on other Mondays - doing Monday, Tuesday?"

Furthermore, Commissioner Krebs added, "To Commissioner Gilmore's point, when you
have a large Meeting Agenda as we did tonight, maybe looking at it and seeing that we
should have maybe broken it up or something because it's true, I mean, it's going to be 2
o'clock, if we're lucky, 2:30 before we even get through this."
Mayor Bush says, "Commissioners, maybe, what about this, as a recommendation - on an
ADD-ON item, that before we actually discuss it, the Commission would decide whether
or not they've had ample time to review it. And if you don't think you have, you just
have to Table it to the next Meeting. Now if it's an 'Emergency', then Mr. McLemore
would just have to make the case - 'This is truly an emergency and even though you
haven't had time to review it, we need to take the time now to do it;' and if we have to
take a recess to do it, we do it. That way, it would give the Commission the ability to
say, 'I didn't have time to look at this'; 'I don't want to go to 2 o'clock this morning'; or
whatever - and it would be your decision at that point."
Continuing the conversation, Mayor Bush stated, "We really haven't done it that way
even though I think we always knew we could have." Commissioner Krebs asked, "And
when do we discuss it?" Mayor Bush replied, "We would bring it up and say, 'This is an
ADD-ON. Have you had time to review it? Do you want to take it tonight?' And if you
don't, then we would say that we need to Table it or if Mr. McLemore would say - 'This
is an absolute, we've got to do it tonight because the world is going to end tomorrow.'
Then we could take a Recess, we could have time to review it, come back. I mean, if it is
truly an emergency."
Commissioner Krebs remarked, "Okay. So that's fine. So then now let's address - the
Office that has to wait to get all of these items until a certain time, late, just to get it out to
us - what are we going to do about that? It's our Office, she's our Clerk, she works for
us, what are we going to do?"
Manager McLemore suggested, "Now what we can do, we can try to make it all come in
by Tuesday, so that we can have everything together, hopefully, to hand over on
Wednesday; or we can - do that, and do the best we can; but those late items are going to
just continue to trickle in, but we can try to do that."
Commissioner Krebs then asked, "Whoever is preparing the items, the Department Heads
or whoever - is in charge - what is their charge? What are they charged with getting to
their time frame? And when they don't meet it, what happens? Tough?" Commissioner
Krebs continued, "If you've got a job, you need to be able to do it."
Manager McLemore said, "We can try to have everything come in on Tuesday and try to
have everything done and ready by the end of the day on Tuesday, which means I have to
shift our Staff Meeting to Tuesday, because our Staff Meeting is where we try to get
everybody together and answer all of the questions that are still out there hanging."

Commissioner Krebs then stated, "Isn't that a scheduling - situation, problem or
whatever? I mean, if you have it scheduled a certain - if you move the schedule to meet
the schedule that you need - we're supposed to have it by 5 o'clock on Wednesday; so
having the Clerk's Office work until 8:00 [p.m.], what good is that doing us if we want to
come by and get our packets at 5:00 [p.m.]?" Manager McLemore said, "We will try to
do that."
Commissioner Krebs then noted, "I am not saying it is easy. It is tough. But everybody
has to buy into it, everybody from the Department Heads who are - I guess that is who
fills out these items..." Manager McLemore stated, ".. . Right.. ." Commissioner Krebs
continued, ". ..Fills out these items. Everybody has to buy into it, that's the six sigma
thing. Everybody has to buy into it, otherwise it doesn't work."
Mayor Bush commented, "I agree with Commissioner Krebs here. It can't just be the
Clerk's problem. And that is kind of what it sounds like it is, it's 'Well, if the Clerk will
just work till 10 o'clock at night', but it also means these other people - are they working
till 10 o'clock - the night before, to get it in?"
Manager McLemore commented, "Everybody in the City is really busting up because we
are just in an unusual time frame. And I had a discussion with you about three (3) or four
(4) months ago that you're going to do three (3) years of work this year."
Commissioner Krebs says, "Well then maybe we ought to look at some things to change
that 2:30 [a.m.] Monday night thing, and I know Anthony [Garganese] you are not
available every night either, but - if we are going to have to make those types of decisions
I just wanted to bring this out again. I know it's been a problem. I've been hearing at
every Meeting, well, not every Meeting, that is an exaggeration, but almost every
Meeting and I just know, that I can see everybody is burdened."
Manager McLemore remarked, "We will try to make a fix here." Mayor Bush suggested,
"There might be some time that we might need to have a Monday night and then follow
up with a Tuesday night Meeting." Commissioner Krebs agreed and said, "Exactly."
Mayor Bush added, "I think it would be better to do than to try to cram things in until 2

McGinnis stated, "I do too." Manager McLemore suggested, "Or start earlier." Mayor
Bush agreed and said, "Or we could start earlier, that is true." Commissioner McGinnis

will start doing the five (5) minute thing? You speak once on it and that is it?"
Commissioner Miller replied, "You know, I have never had a problem with the five (5)
minutes. I know there are several of the Commissioners that have said, 'No, I am sorry,
but I really need to get to the bottom of everything'." Mayor Bush said, "That is fine
with me."

Then, Commissioner Miller said, "Something with that particular item maybe ought to
just be Tabled until the next Meeting; because if people have a lot of questions and we're
going to be here all night, for an hour on an item, let's just postpone it until the next -
Commission Meeting and move on. But, I mean obviously, I am just as guilty as
everyone else because you allow it to happen." Mayor Bush noted, "Well, personally, I
have always felt that it was as Elected Commissioners you should have your say on
items." Mayor Bush added, "Well, I will start enforcing the five (5) minute rule."
Commissioner Krebs inquired, "Commissioner, would you agree or not agree that if we
do have a very large Agenda that we could have the Manager look at it and say, 'Well,
this one might be where you want to break it up into two (2) Meetings;' and then have
back-to-back Meetings?" Commissioner Miller stated, "If he knows it is going to be a
three (3) or four (4) hour Meeting - and we can get it done by 11 o'clock, and that's good.
If it is a bigger Agenda than that, I think it is up to the - Mayor to keep the Meeting
moving along." Commissioner Krebs agreed and said, "Right."
Commissioner Miller then remarked, "I think it would fall apart very quickly, to be
honest with you. Because to say we automatically go to the next night, I mean, I don't
think any of us are going to block Mondays and Tuesdays, two (2) days a month, right, or
four (4) days a month right now, just in case." Commissioner Miller added, "I do have a
problem with late Meetings, but I think if the Meeting moves along during its entire
course, I think we can get it done a lot earlier." Mayor Bush stated, "I will start that next
Meeting with the five (5) minutes." Commissioner Miller added, "If we don't get
through the Agenda, that item, let's postpone it." Mayor Bush agreed and said, "Let's try
that; and then some of the other things that Commissioner Krebs has mentioned in terms
of Staff." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Good."
Manager McLemore suggested the Commission agree that "'We just can't handle this
tonight. When can we meet? Can we cut this up and meet another night?' - and pick a
night that everybody can meet and everybody that is here is forewarned of your date."
Commissioner Krebs then stated, "Right, I agree to trying whatever we can to move it
along and then also at the same time though getting us our packets so - I can have time to
read them, to even ask you the questions."
Manager McLemore added, "Again on the ADD-aN's, I just need you to say, 'What's
the reason for this ADD-ON', and put the burden on me to convince you that you need to
deal with it." Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Okay."

- it says, 'temporary access road is expected to be closed and maybe utilized as an

whatever they coordinated with us, if it didn't have the street on it, then we need to take
this up with it very seriously." Additionally, Commissioner Miller noted, "If they are

waste and this franchise problem that we are having with them. They are saying that they
have a current service and they dQn't want to use our service provider because the rates
are higher. After a lengthy discussion, what we agreed to was we would talk with our
provider and see if he would agree to allow them to continue through the term of their
contract. And, then they would agree voluntarily to come under our Franchise
Agreement from that point forward, so I will be meeting with them in the morning to talk
about that."

Commissioner Gilmore than spoke about Agenda Items saying, "On the Agenda
Packages on Developments, I will tell you, I read some of this stuff that is in these and it
sounds to me, Randy [Stevenson], like we are the salesmen for the projects. Not only do
we come out with all these flowery terms - we even put - smiley faces on the front of the
Agenda package." Commissioner Gilmore noted, "Can't we rephrase - terminology."
Commissioner Gilmore added, "I think we need to go through and recognize that our job
is to report what we see, the findings, and not be the salesmen for the project."
Mr. Stevenson replied, "We can look at that Commissioner. The Agendas are set up such
that a lot of the questions that we answer necessitate some of the more flowery language,
but we'll try to stick to reporting just the facts." Commissioner Gilmore also said, "I
understand, and leave the smiley faces off. I don't see the necessity of a smiley face."
Manager McLemore noted, "Should we not say it's a great project if it's a great project?"
Commissioner Krebs said, "I think you should. I want to know that. I want to know how
the Planner feels." Commissioner Gilmore retorted, "That's one person's opinion."
Manager McLemore said, "You're the final decision makers, but your Staff has got that
burden, particularly with Aesthetic Reviews, of trying to say we've reviewed the
Aesthetic Review and here's what we think about it, isn't that what we're supposed to
do?" Commissioner McGinnis stated, "Yes." Commissioner Krebs added, "Yes."
Commissioner Gilmore remarked, "I'm not sure that you are to do it in the manner that I
read these things." Commissioner McGinnis said, "I have no problem with it." Manager
McLemore stated, "Well, I agree, there shouldn't be smiley faces." Commissioner
McGinnis added, "I mean, I don't like the smiley face on anything." Commissioner
Gilmore remarked, "Well, you do what you have to, I - sometimes wonder if it's, I think
we over do it."
Commissioner Gilmore then advised the City Commission that, "My duties as outgoing
President of the Rotary Club are going to be tying me up rather heavy for the next - two
(2) to three (3) months - I am not going to be able to do fairness with the City/County
Consolidation Committee, so I would like a little relief to get off that for, let's just say

Games are in our City. I talked to [Larry] Dale about this and he was very much in favor
of - taking this forward and I told him - I had needed to bring this to you all tonight. Is
this something the Commission would like to continue to explore the possibilities?"
Commissioner McGinnis said, "Yes." and to "Explore it." Mayor Bush added, "It was
