Authorization
REQUEST:
Mayor John F. Bush is requesting that the City Commission consider two (2)
changes to the Agenda, specifically related to the "Reports" section.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Agenda Item is for the City Commission to consider two (2)
changes to the Agenda.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
At the July 28, 2003 Regular Meeting of the City Commission, Mayor Bush
mentioned a possible change to future Agendas. Mayor Bush is suggesting that
for the second Regular Meeting of each month, the "Reports" section would come
directly after "Public Input."
One other small change Mayor Bush is suggesting is that during each and every
"Reports" section of a City Commission Agenda (no matter which Meeting of the
month it is) that all of the Elected Officials' Reports would revolve. To begin this
new process, if the City Commission is in agreement, we could begin with the
Mayor's Report first, followed by District One, then District Two, and continue to
District Fiv~. The following Meeting, the Reports would begin with District One,
followed by District Two... and so on.

REPORTS
39. I. Office Of The Mayor - John F. Bush
Mayor Bush stated, "I would like to - for one (1) Meeting a month change the Agenda
where we do the seats first, rather than last. Is there any objection to that?" With brief
discussion, Mayor Bush then said, "Is it something that we could bring up at the next
Commission Meeting for a Vote?" Furthermore, Mayor Bush stated, "I would like to
bring that up at the next Meeting and have the Commission either vote it up or vote it
down. "
Next, Mayor Bush spoke of a "Memo from the Manager concerning the traffic study at
the Dollar General store, and said that it would be nice if the Homeowner's Association
was made aware of this Study and have the opportunity to review it, if they so choose."
Commissioner Martinez pointed out that, "They have got it."
In a related issue, Commissioner Blake spoke to Mayor Bush about a letter that Mayor
Bush sent to the Highlands Homeowner's Association, "Specifically involving the
delivery on a regular basis of the Agenda to them. That creates a problem in my eyes,
because if we start delivering an Agenda to a special interest group - and when we do not
make it a point to deliver an Agenda to every special interest group, be they a
Homeowner's Association, the Safehouse of Seminole... then I think we really are
creating a problem and we are not treating everybody the same." Commissioner Blake
added, "Our Agendas are available on the Internet."
Mayor Bush then said, "Well, this will be one of these things that I think that we will see
how they respond, but something that the Commission can discuss at more length, and if
you don't want to do that, why we certainly won't do it." Deputy Mayor Miller offered,
"Mayor, I think if you wanted to do it personally, I think that would probably be alright,
but for the City to do it..." Mayor Bush then said, "...1 will meet with the Homeowner's
Association and when they get back with me in response to the letter, I will convey to
them some of the things that you have just said, and we will try to make it so it makes
sense for everybody." Mayor Bush then suggested, "Let's bring this up at another
Meeting where we can discuss it and the Commission can decide what to do."
Thirdly, Mayor Bush brought up the Solid Waste Collection procedures, and inquired,
"Are we keeping track of this money by category, so that this Commission would know
how much money is involved - the solid waste collection, solid waste disposal of
customer service, Franchise Fees, rate stabilization which gives us a total of the total
customer rate?" Mayor Bush then spoke of the charges for rate stabilization and
suggested that "If it is something that we should do, why don't we put it in the Millage
and get it off the water bills?" Mayor Bush added, "I just wanted to bring it up, and it is
something probably for the future."
