upscale than the metal awnings.
Ms. Sahlstrom stated, "It is my understanding that this area here, that the doorway is set
back five feet (5') from the front of these columns, so there is a little bit of a gap between
the front of the building that you can pass through from front door to front door."
Mr. Stewart then explained, "That is a floor plan of the building. It doesn't show the
overhang on that sheet, but the overhang is five feet (5'), projects five feet (5') out from

Mr. Brian Reece, 721 Virginia Drive, Winter Park, Florida: addressed the City
Commission.
Commissioner Miller said to Mr. Reece, "He did see the plans?" Mr. Reece remarked,

With further discussion, Deputy Mayor Blake said to Mr. Reece, "With the new type of
Zoning classification that the County and 1 guess the - cities that are part of the CRA
(Community Redevelopment Agency), are trying to put in place, would actually allow
even higher intensity development, three (3) to five (5) and in same places up to even ten
(10) story buildings, along [US Highway] 17-92 as part of the redevelopment effort and 1
didn't know if you folks have any exposure to that or have even given it any
consideration." Mr. Reece noted, "I have not given any consideration to that."
Continuing, Mr. Reece remarked, "Well we can consider it, but we kind of already set
our standards in the back of what we want to build and what we want as tenants.

what you have got." Mr. Reece then said, "I think 1 will investigate that, definitely."

300. Community Development Department
Requests The City Commission Consider And Approve The Final Engineering
Plans For The West End Center, Phase I.
Mr. Brian Fields, P.E., City Engineer, Public Works Department presented his opening
remarks.
Much discussion.
Mr. Tim Schutz, P.E., Klima-Weeks Engineering, 401 West Colonial Drive, Suite 2,
Orlando, Florida:
Commissioner Donald A. Gilmore asked, "How are you going to keep this bottom from
plugging?" Mr. Schutz asked, "The bottom of the pond?" Commissioner Gilmore noted,
"The bottom of your detention pond. How are you going to keep this bottom from
plugging?" Commissioner Gilmore explained, "It clogs up. You have got water, you
have got silt, you have got - paper falling in there, you have got all kinds that is going to
fall into that pond. You have got - one of three ways of getting rid of the water. You
evaporate it, you perc it, or you let it flow out onto that property in the back - who owns
that property back there?"
Mr. Schutz responded, "I believe that's part of Tuskawilla Trails." Commissioner
Gilmore added, "So you are dumping the water on Tuskawilla Trails." Mr. Schutz
remarked,. "Yes, we are maintaining and assisting historical drainage patterns which is
common. "
Further discussion.
Commissioner Miller stated, "I think as the Town Center begins to build out, one point
was brought up which I have never thought about, and that is that the retention pond that
we have out here behind City Hall, has a ramp in it, and I noticed there is a ramp on this
one also. So, over the years as foliage grows in these things and it eventually settles to
the bottom, it would be possible I could see where you get a layer of muck down there, so
whatever the percolation rate is today, gallons per water that is going into the aquifer,
would all of a sudden stop and you would have a rising level of water, so the next storm
comes along - do we have something in our City Ordinances or City government plans
that requires people to look at this issue; maybe to dredge these things out once every five
(5) years, or, I don't know how often; and if we don't maybe we ought to?"

that this is something that maybe we should look into."
Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "What size are the parking spaces?" Mr. Fields responded,
"Nine by eighteen (9 x 18)." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "Why can't they change it to
ten by twenty (10 x 20)?" With further comments, Deputy Mayor Blake remarked, "We
should change that."
Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Blake said "Point of Order" and spoke of the discussion.
Deputy Mayor Blake asked, "Has this plan been reviewed, designed by, and approved by
a Registered, Professional Engineer, and signed off on?" Mr. Schutz responded, "That's
myself, yes."
With further discussion, Commissioner Gilmore asked Mr. Schutz, "As the Professional
Engineer, will you say that in the future the water flowing out of here will be no more
than the water that is flowing from here to here today?" Mr. Schutz remarked, 'Yes, I
believe that."

Discussion ensued with City Attorney, Anthony A. Garganese, Manager McLemore and
Members of the City Commission.
Regarding Training for Fiduciaries; Manager McLemore said, "I think we'll wind up
with a plan that has two (2) maybe three (3) tiers of training, based on what the actual
fiduciary responsibilities are." Furthermore, Manager McLemore remarked, "It's a great
question. It is one that is current; it is upon us. The Commissioner is correct, we need to
be concerned about this. We are driving toward that answer based upon your previous
direction. There is a free course out there that doesn't cost anybody anything, that is
provided by the State Retirement system, and maybe that is what we should do."
With further discussion, Commissioner Krebs said, "When you ask the question on who
has a fiduciary responsibility, shouldn't we know that - shouldn't we already know that?"
Manager McLemore noted, "You have a Plan document that's not consistent with the
way we're actually working and that document has got to be cleaned up; and was one of
the reasons that we need to rewrite the entire Plan and we need to do a very, very good
job of nailing these roles and responsibilities so we can very much clarify who needs
what training, at what level." Manager McLemore added, "I am with you. We don't
want to leave it out there any longer than we have to and I'd like to say to you that we're
going to be back to you within sixty (60) days."
Discussion.
Commissioner Krebs stated, "That is my whole purpose is to educate - if I am the only
one and nobody else wants to know about it, that is fine, but I do want to know about it!"
Manager McLemore then pointed out, "If it's ruled that the City Commission are
Fiduciaries and have got to have a certain level of training related to that, then that's
going to become a Policy that this Commission is going to establish and the Commission
is going to have to abide by it."
Continuing, Commissioner Krebs said to Manager McLemore, "I just have an obligation,
and I want to fulfill that obligation." Manager McLemore commented, "We are on the
same page with you one hundred percent (100 %)." Commissioner Krebs added, "So I
want you to commit then that you'all have it cleaned up in sixty (60) days?" Manager
McLemore responded, "That's certainly my goal; absolutely."
Commissioner Gilmore stated, "There is probably a lot of different responsibilities in this
Plan; and for example, which one does the Trustees have? What is their responsibility in
this Plan?" Manager McLemore responded, "All of that will be lined out and you will
make those decisions when you update your Plan," Commissioner Gilmore then spoke
about the Police and Fire personnel and asked, "Are we going to be reviewing that issue
too?" Manager McLemore said, "If you want to review that issue, it is going to
substantially delay getting this project done."

Discussion.
Commissioner Gilmore said, "So this will all be covered, when we sit in the future on
this?" Manager McLemore said, "If you want to go down this road, you need to say we
want to go down this road, and then we will prepare a study methodology for you to get
there. It could be quite expensive, and it could incur a fair amount of time. And - what I
am trying to say to you is that's a process in my opinion that's second after we get this
settled down, and allow yourself time to think through that one." Discussion.
Deputy Mayor Blake stated, "There is merit in talking about the restatement of the Plan -
talking about defining the Plan, who has which responsibilities. I think that is important
to point out; and to have listed and to make sure that we develop a Plan, adopt a Plan, and
follow a Plan." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "The issue of Fiduciary responsibility and
liability remains the same. And, we do have an obligation to provide training for those
people who are involved with the management of the Plan; and that includes the Pension
Board, that includes this Commission, and it also includes the City Manager, probably the
Finance Director and possibly even the City Attorney at some level - and General
Services." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "Is it prudent to wait until we get the Plan
restated or determine what it says, to determine who should have training? No, I don't
think so. I think we are way behind the curve. I have spoken on this issue many times
before and we haven't quite gotten it there yet."
Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Blake remarked, "The Department of Labor has spent many
of your - Federal government tax dollars providing guidelines for training, exactly what
should be included, and what should not be and I think that we need to make sure that the
- training plan encompasses all of those separate issues as they pertain to our Plan."
Continuing, Deputy Mayor Blake noted, "I think we should - go forward and get the
information on the different training programs that are available, bring it back to the
Commission; get some professional advice on what the standards should be and whether
or not each of the potential programs meet those standards, and I think it is best to do it
here on site or at least do it in the City." Deputy Mayor Blake added, "I don't think there
is any reason to wait on putting together the training for the Plan restatement to be
completed. "
Commissioner Krebs remarked, "I would like to learn more about 175/185." With
further discussion, Commissioner Krebs added, "I would really want to understand it."
Commissioner Krebs added, "Yes, I want to know all about that one too."

606. Office Of The Mayor - John F. Bush
Mayor Bush said to the City Commission, "I sent you some information on the 'How
Shall We Grow' - myregion.org, August 30th at the Longwood Community Center at six
o'clock." Mayor Bush added, "There is also one on September the 25th if you can't
make that one, at the Holy Cross Lutheran Church up in Lake Mary. I am probably going
to both of them."
Continuing, Mayor Bush mentioned a telephone call about "Elected people to - read to
autistic children and maybe adults - it is called the 'Book buds read' and it is on
September the 6th and 7th from 9:00 a.m. until 11 :00 a.m. You would read for about
forty-five (45) minutes." Mayor Bush said he would participate and added, "If you
would like to participate, let me know and I will let her know, and you can pick the time
and the day you would like to be there."
Furthermore, Mayor Bush noted, "There is a Mayors and Managers meeting this
Thursday. There is also a Joint City-County Advisory Meeting." Mayor Bush added,
"That Meeting is August 16th at 3 0' clock at the County Services building."
Next, Mayor Bush said he attended an "Excellent presentation on WiFi. The former
Mayor of St. Cloud was one of the presenters." Mayor Bush noted, "The former Mayor
said he would be glad to come - meet with us." Additionally, Mayor Bush suggested, "I
think you need to talk to Joanne [Dalka, Director, Information Services Department]
about this, see how it works in with what she is doing, but I think it is certainly something
we should look into."
Mayor Bush then said to City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces, "Maybe we could get a tape of
that?" City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces acknowledged this request.
Discussion ensued on Mayor Bush's photo on the Website and as Mayor Bush said as he
personally paid for it, he would not need to do anything further. Manager McLemore
stated, "We'll issue you a letter saying, or whoever wants it, whether there was ever any
City funds encumbered for it or expended for it."
