City Manager Ronald W. McLemore advised the Commission of the latest developments
related to this matter and stated, that "A check for - was received today from Pizzutti, sent
to the contractor. The contractor did check to see if it was covered by the bank, it was not
covered by the bank." Furthermore, based on what has transpired, Manager McLemore
suggested that the City Commission needs to "Fully advance fund this item - that's our
recommendation tonight - from Impact Fees, then we will just have to get in line with
everybody else and see what we can get out of the deal."
At Commissioner Martinez's suggestion, the City Commission agreed to move the
Regular Agenda Item associated with this matter up - after other residents had all spoken
on this matter.
Manager McLemore then advised the Commission that "If the check that they sent today
were to prove out to be in fact a good check, then we would only be sixteen thousand
dollars ($16,000.00) off, which the City would have to cover."
Mr. Roger Cooper, 313 Twelve Oaks, Drive, Winter Springs, Florida: advised the City
Commission that he agreed with what Ms. Dzamba had stated.
Mr. Medford McCoy, 114 Brookshire Court, Winter Springs, Florida: stated that a
relative of his who is an engineer in Ohio, is being paid "on time currently" by Pizzutti;
and suggested that this check might be good, especially if it was drawn on a "ZBA"
account and suggested that this be checked into.

Manager McLemore again stated that Staffs recommendation was "That we go ahead
and advance fund this project - and then we will see again whether the funds - are going
to be real or not; and at an appropriate time, which will be very near in the future, then I
think if the funds are not forthcoming - then you just need authorize your City Attorney
to file against them in a bankruptcy situation."

Commissioner David W. McLeod suggested that "I do have a problem with an issue of an
additional $4,500.00 for late fees and remobilization by that contractor - if that contractor
wants the City to step forward, pick this tab up and take care of it at this time then I think
it behooves him to drop the $4,500.00 late fee and remobilization." Further,
Commissioner McLeod added, "If he is wanting his money and he is wanting to move it,
I think for a hundred and some thousand dollars, he will get rid of that." Manager
McLemore said, "If that is your wish, that's what we will tell him." Commissioner
McLeod stated, "That would be exactly mine."
Commissioner McLeod then asked if there was a Bond and said that the City should have
required one. Commissioner McLeod added that the Bond should have been requested as
part of the original Development Agreement. Mr. Lockcuff [Kip ton D. Lockcuff, P.E.,
Public WorkslUtility Department Director] stated that he was not aware of any Bond that
the City had requested, and Manager McLemore said, "We can check and see."
Commissioner McLeod added, "I would highly suggest we go back and look at that."
Commissioner Martinez said to Manager McLemore, "Do we have a mechanism in place
to require these developers and contractors to put up a Bond, when they agree to perform
this kind of work?" Commissioner Martinez added, "I think we should find a way to put
a mechanism in place for the future, where we can take care of business and instead of
having to take this money from the City's coffers and the tax payers, use the Bond money
to pay for it."
Deputy Mayor Cindy Gennell asked Mr. Lockcuff about the 1988 agreement - the "434
Partnership" Agreement, and further commented on additional discussions. Deputy
Mayor Gennell stated, "I think that there were subsequent developer negotiations, when
Winding Hollow came in there, that encompassed the red light - I know I recall some
discussion since I have been on the Commission, so I would suggest somebody look back
and see."
"I MAKE A MOTION THAT THE CITY ADVANCE PAYMENT FOR THE DUE
AND OUTSTANDING AMOUNTS TO GET THE TRAFFIC LIGHT UP FROM
THE IMPACT FEE FUND, NOT INCLUDING LATE CHARGES OR THE
REMOBILITY FUNDS, IN ORDER TO GET THEM GOING. THEY CAN GET
THOSE MONIES STILL FROM PIZZUTTI OR HOWEVER THEY DESIRE TO
DO SO, BUT MY MOTION DOES NOT INCLUDE THOSE FUNDS." MOTION

Mr. Brian Oliver, 630 Cheoy Lee Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: thanked
Commissioner McLeod and Commissioner Blake for their comments at a previous
Meeting; and commented on the fill dirt being brought in at the Avery Park project and
said he hoped that "When they do put the wall in, the elevation is like equivalent to the
amount of fill dirt, so if she brings in three (3) or four foot (4') of fill dirt, hopefully the
wall will extend so we don't have a six foot (6') wall on our side, and a three foot (3')
foot wall on her side." Further, Mr. Oliver remarked about compliance with a "New
landscape plan" and wanted to make sure that trees are in fact going to be planted.
Commissioner Blake commented on what Mr. Oliver had said and said, "With the fill
dirt, does that wall have to be six feet (6') on both sides?" Manager McLemore said,
"The language just says a six foot (6') wall, it doesn't give any further detail." Manager
McLemore added, "The intent certainly the way I see it would be six foot (6') of wall -
we can shore that up." Commissioner Blake said, "I think it is a good idea to make sure
that everybody is clear on that before they start laying block." Manager McLemore
added, "I don't think that's a problem, but we'll check into it."
Commissioner McLeod then stated, "I believe Mr. McLemore, if we're following that up
- the tree situation has to be resolved before the wall went in. The wall has to go in
before the build-out or roads and so forth onto that property, isn't that correct." Manager
McLemore said, "That's the way I recall it."
Mr. Michael Tackaberry, 634 Cheoy Lee Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: suggested that
water trucks be brought in to the Avery Park site to r~duce the dust situation. Further,
Mr. Tackaberry stated that with the purchase of additional property by Oak Forest
residents, "Wouldn't it be nice to make a nice adjoinment with the two (2) walls - it
would be the wall from the Tuskawilla Office Park and the extension of the Oak Forest
wall; if they could be - the same type of brick - a kind of a nice joining of the walls."
Commissioner McLeod said to Manager McLemore, "If they do look into this - the Oak
Forest Committee - where the present wall is sitting, where that property was donated,
that three foot (3') of right-of-way - you will need some ground in the right-of-way, so I
don't believe the County is probably going to want to go through that long process - but
you may want to get with them - to see if they will let you put a wall there."
Furthermore, Mr. Tackaberry suggested that perhaps adding a gate might be a good idea
should work need to be done in the future.
Mr. Kevin Billings, 202 Heatherwood Court, Winter Springs, Florida: commented on the
current Arbor Ordinance and felt that the proposed new Arbor Ordinance, (Ordi~ance
2002-08) did not seem to be as stringent as the current Ordinance in terms of numerous
exemptions and tree replacements.

were used in the current Arbor Ordinance, and thought that there was unfair treatment of
individual homeowners compared to developers. Ms. FortIer asked this Ordinance 2002-

Mr. Byron W Brooks, Executive Director, Lynx, 445 West Amelia Street, Suite 800,
Orlando, Florida: addressed the City Commission and commented on the "Americans
with Disabilities Act" (ADA) and possible cost sharing arrangements.
Mr. Brooks stated that "There is a required service within a % mile of a bus service - the
number of residents in this case it's relatively small, about six (6) residents actually live
within % of a mile of the service that we are obligated to serve, and then there are a
number of residents, about another forty-four (44) residents who live beyond the % mile
who reside within the City of Winter Springs and are currently taking trips."
Mr. Bill Shneeman, Director of Operations, Lynx, 445 West Amelia Street, Suite 800,
Orlando, Florida: advised the Commission that "What we are estimating in next year
that will have roughly 490 trips taken by these six (6) citizens of Winter Springs. Those-
trips will run based upon our estimates right now, and we are still continuing to refine our
budget numbers about $10,700.00. For the trips that will be outside ofthe % mile buffer,
there is roughly 1740 of those trips and those trips would run about $38,000.00. And if
you are looking for a rate that is $21.85 a trip."

Discussion ensued on services that are provided; related cab services; and costs.
Manager McLemore said to the City Commission, "The leaders at the County have a real
concern about levying a second penny of taxes in the same year that the public has
already approved an additional penny for improvements in the road system. So, I think
what they are saying to the localities is that we need a temporary way out where we can
re-group here and come back and provide the appropriate in a fair and equitable way of
financing this in our next fall year's fiscal period."
Further, Manager McLemore stated that "What the County has brought to the Mayors and
Managers is the process of working through an alternative, or the sets of alternatives,
down to what's a final alternative. I think that what the County is saying to us is tell us
what you are willing to do. In other words, they have asked all the cities to report back
by mid-April, saying what you are willing to do with this dilemma that we are in. And,
the Mayors and Managers group has discussed this through and - basically the consensus
is it should be funded from gas tax." Manager McLemore added, "You can't solve this
with a General Fund appropriation - that gas taxes is the way to do this." Further,
Manager McLemore suggested that "If you are going to do it, then I think it should be
part of that that you say to them, we are willing to do this if you will address the gas tax
next year and if you are willing to pay us back for the money that we advance fund you
once you get that revenue source. Now that's my recommendation to you. I think it's
fair and I think it's the way it should be done. Your other alternative is to just fund it and
not ask for your funds back, or don't fund it at all."
Additionally, Manager McLemore advised the Commission, "At your next Meeting in
April, we are coming to you with the first six (6) months of revenues and expenses. We
like the County are having our own shortfalls because of the decline in the economy and
probably I think you might want to wait until that Meeting happens to make that decision,
and I think you can do that within the time line that the County has asked."
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE FOLLOW STAFF'S
RECOMMENDATION AND HAVE THEM BRING THIS BACK TO US WITH
ALL THE INFORMATION LISTED ON THE AGENDA ITEM UNDER
'RECOMMENDATIONS' FOR A FINAL DISPOSITON." MOTION BY
COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ. MAYOR PARTYKA STATED, "AT THE NEXT

Attorney Garganese reviewed a number of the enhancements to the Arbor Code and
identified the newly proposed Ordinance 2002-08.
Discussion began with tree surveys needing to be done. Commissioner Blake suggested,
"What I am asking for is some framework for somebody, whether it be Staff or this
Commission or whoever ultimately makes the decision to be able to make a
determination that it's not necessary or is necessary so that we treat everybody the same."
Attorney Garganese explained, "That's why the new Ordinance contains review
standards, there is a list of criteria, one through eleven which when applicable will be
applied in the decision making process." With a reference to page 6, Section 5-4. ~),
Commissioner Blake stated "That doesn't address a tree survey." Attorney Garganese
responded, "To the extent that the criteria is relevant it would. The issue of the tree
survey has come up a couple of times and the necessity of getting a tree survey
sometimes has to be made on a case by case basis."

when dealing with nature, but we need to have some policy type guidelines so that we are
fair to Staff, they can make consistent decisions; we are fair to the Commission, they can
make consistent decisions."
Attorney Garganese next broached the topic of replacement trees and related alternatives.
Commissioner Blake remarked about "Replacement alternatives" and asked, "Are we
allowed to state within the Ordinance that those dollars would be placed into the Tree
Bank trust fund - is that set up as a trust fund?" Ms. Cook stated, "It is for the -
augmentation or the maintenance of public trees, or trees located on public lands."
Commissioner Blake asked where the language just stated was written. Ms. Cook
explained that that language was in the current Ordinance. Attorney Garganese stated,
"The new Ordinance simply says it just gets paid into the Tree Bank, and I don't think we
carried that language forward - under the new Ordinance we would come back with a
Resolution - establishing fees. The bottom line Commissioner is if you want to carry that
language forward we can." With reference to Section 5-3. (e) of the current Code,
Commissioner Blake stated, "I would like to see that carried forward to make sure that
the money goes for the intended purpose. The rest of the Commission would have to
concur."
Attorney Garganese stated that "Current Ordinance provides no tree protection guidelines
during construction; your new Ordinance will provide a list with the help of your Arborist
and Staff - a list of guidelines that are designed to protect trees that should exist during
construction." Commissioner Blake inquired, "Does this section come anywhere close to
construction to the regulations they have in Lake Mary?" Commissioner Blake explained
that Lake Mary had a "Wood fence with huge signs all around the trees that are to be
protected, citing the section of code and the penalty's."
Specimen trees were next covered. Commissioner Blake posed the following question,
"You have a specimen tree that is diseased and is causing some - potential hazard" and
asked if approval for removal would need to be granted by the City Commission? Ms.
Cook stated, "Section 5-8. of the new Code, it says 'Specimen trees are all trees other
than undesirable trees, which are twenty inches (20") or more.' It doesn't address the
safety issue, but it does address the invasive, exotics." Attorney Garganese stated, "You
may want to add a little language to make it clear." Commissioner Blake agreed and said,
"Just to make sure that there is no question. Okay." Mayor Partyka then asked, "What is
the additional language that we are going to put in there?" Manager McLemore clarified
that it would state something to the effect that "Specimen trees - if they are dead or they
are diseased then you can take them down without bringing it to the Commission."
Commissioner Martinez stated "Point of Order" and referenced Section 5-4. on page 5.U

Attorney Garganese then said to Commissioner Blake, "I think your intent is not to
require a specimen tree that poses a danger to the community to come to the
Commission..." Commissioner Blake stated, "... That would be my desire." Attorney
Garganese added, "If it poses a safety hazard then - it probably should not have to come
to the Commission." Commissioner Blake then said, "5-8. (.12), you'll put that language
in, correct?" Attorney Garganese agreed.
Discussion followed on whether Ordinance 2002-08 treated developers differently than
property owners. Regarding Section 5-9. (.12) (Q) (B), which deals with a required
conservation area and mitigation of wetlands, Commissioner Blake stated, "That's the
outcome of this section - that you can have the exact kind of development that we have
had discussed tonight where they can come in and take down every single tree in the
upland area, in the developable area and simply not agree or simply agree not to develop
in a place of public conservation those areas that would never be feasible to develop
anyway and skirt around all the teeth that are supposed to be in this Ordinance and they
wouldn't have to plant a single tree - and I won't vote for it based on that."
Attorney Garganese then stated, "Assuming that the credits they received eliminated the
upland tree replacement, they still need to meet the minimum tree requirements under 5-
II per lot." Commissioner Blake then inquired, "Where in here does it say that that
Section supercedes this Section?" With further discussion, Commissioner Blake added,
"Mayor, I have a real problem with this Section (h) and Section (~J This is the exact
same article or issue rather that I argued against with the Avery Park section where they
had that large wetland area that they were trying to use as a tree credit - and I won't vote
for the Ordinance if that stays in."
Deputy Mayor Gennell said, "On the 434 corridor or the new Town Development area,
do we have additional arbor requirements, over and above the regular Arbor Ordinance."
Tape 2/Side B
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "I would appreciate it if somebody would
look and see if it isn't in the Redevelopment and the New Development" areas.
A computer formatting error was noted on page 12, the (~) should most likely be (f).
Attorney Garganese agreed that it should be (f) on page 12.
Then, Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "Comparing page 12, Section 5-9. (Q) (iv), it says
'The Developer agrees to be responsible for the viability of the replacement trees for one
(1) year after installation. A performance bond may be required to insure compliance.'
Compare that to page 15 - under Section 5-14. 'Tree Protection During Development
Construction; Periodic Inspection.' (b) - 'The property owner shall guarantee survival of
retained or Replacement Trees for two (2) years from completion of permitted

construction, unless a greater time period is required by development agreement. If a
retained or replacement Tree dies during that time period, the property owner shall
replace the Tree in accordance with a remedial action approved under 5-17. of this
chapter.' It would appear that both of these references are to developers. One is one (1)
year, and one is two (2) years. And so I suggest for one thing we need to make them
uniform and secondly, I suggest that on 5-14. (12) where it says what will happen, if a
retained or replacement tree dies, that we also carry that backward and put it on that (iv) -
on page 12."
Mr. Michael Mingea, City Forester, Code Enforcement Division, Community
Development Department addressed the City Commission on the one (1) year/two (2)
year issue and stated, "I believe that one of those applies to planted trees - that should be
the one (1) year item and if you look at the other there on 15, it should be preserved trees
- those that are protected. Those may already be there, they have been worked around,
they have been damaged somehow during construction, so we are going give them two
(2) years to die off."
Attorney Garganese said, "If it's the Commission's pleasure we will just make the two
(2) sections consistent." Mayor Partyka stated, "Right." Deputy Mayor Gennell said,
"Thank you."
Attorney Garganese then asked, "Did the Tree lists get revised?" Ms. Cook stated, "We
can make sure that that's cleaned it up."
Industry standards regarding trees purchased at nurseries was discussed next.
Commissioner McLeod suggested that "I would advise the Commission to look at them
individually and if you are going to make them the same, go to the one (1)."
Commissioner McLeod then asked "When building a wall between property lines of
commercial and residential - what protects the residential property owner from having
trees close to the property being lost due to the footings being dug for the wall and the
root systems of trees being cut on the residential property side of the line?"
Commissioner McLeod then asked, "Where in this Ordinance are we protecting that
residential piece of property?" With discussion, it was deemed that such situations would
most likely be a private property dispute.
Commissioner McLeod suggested that criteria and standards that would be required for
the permit process be stipulated on a chart and be available for use. Manager McLemore
suggested that "I would feel probably better about a trained Arborist trying to make a
judgement than trying to create a manual" for general interpretation. Commissioner
McLeod added "I am just telling you I want a chart."

Regarding Section 5-10. (g), Commissioner McLeod said, "When raising the existing soil
level a maximum of six (6) inches of compactable top soil may be added within the
dripline." Furthermore, Commissioner McLeod asked Mr. Mingea, "Do you feel
comfortable with the six inches (6") as the max - is a reasonable number." Mr. Mingea
responded, "I feel comfortable with it."
Commissioner Blake suggested that "I would like to send this back to Staff and postpone
this Item until our next Meeting on April 8th and have a 3rd Reading for adoption at that
point in time and hopefully give Staff some time to get together - and bring back to us
the reworked Ordinance that would then have some of these new items in there up for
discussion. "
Deputy Mayor Gennell said, "Last time I brought up the very same issue that
Commissioner McLeod brought up if you recall, suggesting that the drip line was more
appropriate, so now I am glad to see this come back and I agree with what he had to say."
Commissioner Martinez also agreed with the tabling of this Agenda Item.
Additionally, Deputy Mayor Gennell said to Staff that "If they could possibly - when you
bring this back to us, if you could possibly do something to identify just the pieces that
we changed - if you could a yellow high lighter or something that will stand out."
Mayor Partyka opened the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item.
Mr. James J Meagher, 710 East State Road 434, Winter Springs, Florida: stated his
preference with saving as many trees as possible; that developers should be responsible;
preserving tree canopy; and suggested that tree service companies should have their
insurance and business licenses on file with the City.
Mr. Brian Oliver, 630 Cheoy Lee Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: spoke of his concern
with a possible encroachment issue and civil action involving several trees near where the
Avery Park wall is planned to go.
The "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item was closed.
Mayor Partyka asked for a consensus regarding that "The fund is to be used for tree
replacement."

Next, Mayor Partyka asked, "Does this Commission feel the same way on (h) and (~)?"
Commissioner Blake suggested, "I would strike section (h) and (~)." For further
clarification, Mayor Partyka stated, "My issues have been what is this public conservation
area - and how we got to the replacement credits." Commissioner Martinez stated, "I
said, give it to the Attorney and he will decide whether to strike it out, or amend it,
correct it, delete it, whatever." Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "Strike it." Commissioner
McLeod said, "Give it to the Attorney to determine whether it should just be struck or can
it be more clarified by the Attorney to basically say you are not getting credit for those
trees in the wetlands." Mayor Partyka summarized that it would go back to the Attorney
to "Clarify it and I think you need to consider all these points."
The next issue was the "Soil level issue - there was a question on who determines that
and the City Manager is talking about the Forester, but there should be some kind of
guidelines." Commissioner Blake stated, "Forester." Commissioner Martinez also said
"Forester." Deputy Mayor Gennell also agreed with this.
Mayor Partyka next stated, "There was an issue on the burden of tree protection of the
property owner - it is basically two (2) years for one, one (1) year on the other. Do we
want to make this consistent?" Commissioner Blake said, "One (1) year for planted trees,
two (2) years for injured." Commissioner McLeod stated, "As it is, except clarify the two
(2) years/one (1)." Commissioner Martinez agreed, as did Deputy Mayor Gennell who
added, "And in the second section, take out the word replacement trees."
Commissioner McLeod added, "I think the Mayor had. misstated one "issue and the 'one
issue was the soil, but there was a second issue - distance that I had mentioned, and I had
asked for a chart."
Commissioner Martinez stated, "Point of Order" and spoke of what Commissioner
McLeod and the Arborist had discussed earlier.
Mayor Partyka summarized that there are two (2) points. Number one is do we allow the
Forester or the Arborist to allow both of those issues - that should be option one."
Further Mayor Partyka said, the second issue is now the six foot (6') radius, do we want
the Forester to handle this or not?" Commissioner Blake stated, "The six foot (6') radius
in general or as determined by the Forester." Commissioner Martinez said, "The
Forester." Deputy Mayor Gennell said, "I think some criteria would be very helpful."
Commissioner McLeod stated, "I think some form of chart." Mayor Partyka's vote was,
"I think the Forester should do it with some kind of criteria." Manager McLemore
suggested, "You have the chart adopted as a guideline, not as a rule."o

B. Information Services Department
Wishes To Receive Direction From The City Commission On Updating The
Information Services Master Plan.
Ms. Joanne Dalka, Information Services Department Director addressed the City
Commission and a presentation was given to the City Commission. The City
Commission was asked for specifics on their position about the next five (5) years.
Commissioner Blake said, "I would like to see us get to a technologically favorable
environment which involves a continued investment in hardware, software, and training.
I would like us to get to a paperless type environment." Further, Commissioner Blake
stated, "I would certainly love to see a Web site that is user friendly for both the folks that
work here and try to get things done and for the folks who live here who try to get things
done at this City Hall. And, all those "ecommerce" items that you had pinpointed up
there, I thought were wonderful. I don't think that's all of it, but it's a good start."
Next, Commissioner Martinez said to Ms. Dalka that "I think that you should come back
to us - being you are the professional here, the one that runs that department and with
your hands on experience, tell us what you think is needed to really catapult us."
Commissioner McLeod stated, "First of all, I would like to say thank you for where you
have brought us from and where you have brought us to." Commissioner McLeod
thanked Ms. Dalka for. -bringing- this to. .the.. Gommission ~'lJp- .front'.'. and added, "I
commend you for bringing that forward." Further, Corrimissioner McLeod stated that he
felt that laptop computers for police cars should "Be one of the first priorities!"
Additionally, Commissioner McLeod commented that "The kiosk is not my number one
by a long shot. I think you have got a lot of things here more important, but I do believe
it works in with your blend as you go. 'Ecommerce,' yes we are behind in that. Many
cities today are allowing this permitting to go online, I think that is one that does need to
be ramped up fairly fast also. So, I am not sure you are dealing with a five (5) year plan
as much as perhaps a three (3) year plan Ron, and we may have to have allocations to
help staff that and help fund that to get us to the level to be brought up to date and into
the modem world."
Furthermore, Commissioner McLeod added, "Personally like I said, I would much rather
see this ramped rather than five (5) years, a three (3) year - staff it for such and finance it
for such. Because I think at that point you are going to need to start back."
Ms. Dalka gave a brief overview of the KlV A program as it currently stands and what is
planned for the future.

Deputy Mayor Gennell asked ifthere was a street map of the City and a map of the City's

map of the City available for people to look at as well as the districts that each
Commissioner represents too." Further, Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "The kiosk - with
a terminal in the Lobby, I do think that is important." Deputy Mayor Gennell then
mentioned a bulletin board type feature that she previously saw on the City of Sanford's
Website and asked, "How does somebody send a general question" to our City? Deputy
Mayor Gennell also suggested that census information should also be posted on our

Commissioner McLeod said to Manager McLemore, "Seeing the Mayor has a passion to
be heading that way and leading - but I would like to ask you to find out what is a time
frame that we can shorten to and what is it going to take to do that in real dollars and
personnel - and that may be something that you need to be bringing back here, but I tend
to agree with the Mayor that I think the time frame is too long. But, City Manager I
would like you to tell us the direction." Manager McLemore stated, "We'll certainly be
working on that."
Commissioner McLeod then said, "I personally would like to see this thing speeded up
and it may mean doubling the Department, doubling the resources or tripling the
Department." Further, Commissioner McLeod asked, "I think: the Commission needs
numbers to deal with to get there. Is that something that could be brought back - within
the next three (3) Meetings?" Manager McLemore responded by saying, "I don't think
we can do it that quick. I think it's going to take much longer than that. I think: what we
have to do is we have got to identify all of those potential applications prioritize those
applications and then say, here it is, we can do it under scenario one (1), or we can do it
under scenario two (2) or we can do it under scenario three (3) and each one will have a
cost benefit attached to that. That's going to take some real work." Commissioner
McLeod the suggested, "How about eight (8) weeks?"
Manager McLemore stated, "Probably with some technical assistance." Ms. Dalka
agreed and said, "With technical assistance, eight (8) weeks." Commissioner McLeod
stated, "That would be my direction Commission, and I think eight (8) weeks is a long
time to try to wait for information, but on the other hand I think that is what we should do
- is give some direction to the City Manager to bring us back some charts, costing, along
with time frames to get this done in a shorter time frame than what we see here in five (5)
years - I would like to see it perhaps in a two (2) year window happen." Commissioner
Blake stated, "I agree." Deputy Mayor Gennell said, "eight (8) weeks." Mayor Partyka
inquired, "Eight (8) weeks - is that the consensus of this Commission?" Commissioner
Martinez said, "Yes."
