Mayor Partyka stated, "There are three (3) service organizations in this City - Rotary, which handles the 4th of July - the Lions which handles the Art Festival" and Mayor Partyka suggested that perhaps the Kiwanis could assist with this event. Mayor Partyka explained that he had contacted the President of the Kiwanis Club earlier today and asked if they would consider handling the City's Holiday Parade. Mayor Partyka added, "He said yes - he would take it to their Board and at least discuss it and bring it back to the Commission. " Commissioner Blake suggested, "Perhaps the BOWS Board [Beautification of Winter Springs Board] might be able to be involved with this to some degree as well."

Mayor Partyka added, "We'll pass that on, and perhaps I will suggest to the Kiwanians that they should potentially use the resources of the BOWS Board and any other groups that are around there." VIII. REPORTS REPORTS A. City Attorney - Anthony A. Garganese, Esquire Attorney Garganese advised the Commission that the Georgetowne Homeowner's Association has submitted for review an amendment to their Declarations and Covenants and there appears to be some inconsistencies." Attorney Garganese asked "Whether the City Commission wanted to approve the amendment or does the Commission want us to do it on a Staff level?" Commissioner Blake mentioned that "This is another example of 20-357. Section (12) I believe, that we have had on our list of things to do for an extended period of time - this is a PUD." Commissioner Blake stated, "I don't have any problem with the City Manager doing it, but we need to address that section of the Code as it pertains to PUD's and figure out where the zoning law is and who is in charge of it." Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "I am in favor of continuing that protection for the residents." Commissioner Martinez said, "I would like to recommend that the minor changes requested by any such HOA [Homeowner's Association] be handled by the City Manager and his Staff. Any changes dealing with the items that Commissioner Blake suggested, such as land use, etcetera be brought before the Commission and that they be instructed to that effect, so they don't make any mistakes." Attorney Garganese then said, "I just need to know whether you want me to bring an Agenda Item for approval?" Deputy Mayor Gennell stated, "I move that he brings the Agenda Item." Mayor Partyka asked, "Everybody agrees to that - consensus? Okay. Go ahead." Attorney Garganese further clarified, "Then just Unit 2 will show up for approval and the other two (2) units - they notice the City and under their documents - would be considered approved."
