DRAFT Paul P. Partyka, Mayor ATTEST: Andrea Lorenzo-Luaces, City Clerk City of Winter Springs Resolution No. 2000-13 ATTACHMENT "B" REGULAR N. Office Of The City Manager Recommending Commission Approval Of Resolution 2002-16 Creating The Paw Park Advisory Committee. Manager McLemore advised the Commission of his latest discussions with the County on this issue and stated, "Part of their recommendation was that before anything at all would happen on this property or before they would enter into any agreements with us they need to go through a Master Planning process to this property, the layout, the areas that they desire to sell, those areas which would be preserved or conserved (where nothing can be built on), and then have some idea of how the park areas would be used prior to agreeing that we could use those areas." Manager McLemore further suggested that this process could take the County ninety (90) days to possibly six (6) months, and added, "They have said that we could be involved in that planning process along with them, that we wouldn't have to wait for six months until we are able to give some input as to what we would like to see happen there." Additionally, Manager McLemore said to the City Commission, "As part of the report back to you, we need to see the footprint of the park on the property." Further, Manager McLemore stated, "So we are somewhat delayed by actions that they are going to take , but I don't know why we couldn't go ahead and get this committee started and start working on rules and regs and budgets, and those kind of things, but the footprint is probably going to be delayed for a little while - so the July date is probably not a realistic date that I had included in here - maybe we should extend that out for a while longer, Commissioner McLeod suggested that a temporary location be set up and suggested the lower section on the west side of the rest room at Central Winds Park be used or the amphitheater area - this side of the lake, at the lower end, The latter suggestion seemed to be a suitable temporary location as this site used less than the previous. As for a temporary site, Commissioner McLeod suggested, "Wouldn't it also help to define some of your problems so when you - had the permenant place, you've now got through your problems and you understood what they were." Deputy Mayor GenneIl said "The 'Paw Park' Committee should go forward and be formed," Deputy Mayor GenneIl added, "I am not in favor doing something temporary," "I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM' A' AND PROCEED - WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WHERE IT SAYS 'SCHEDULE' THAT THE MANAGER SAYS IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT THE COMMITTEE WORK WILL BE COMPLETED BY JULY 1ST, THAT THAT BE STRUCK, BASED ON HIS COMMENTS." MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ. SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR GENNELL. DISCUSSION.
