Mr. Mark Lambert, 410 MacGregor Road, Winter Springs, Florida: thanked Mayor
Bush and several Commissioners for attending a recent Highlands Homeowner's
Association meeting with approximately 250 attendees. Mr. Lammert then spoke of the
proposed Affordable Housing Project; asked what was planned for the entrance to the
City on the west side; suggested a plan for the redevelopment of the West side with
similar zoning as in the Town Center District; suggested that any Special Use for Davis
Properties should be revoked; and asked, "Has the City met its governmental quota for
low income housing or affordable housing?" Mr. Lammert also suggested that more
current information should be provided in the City's publication, "The Insider."
With discussion, City Manager Ronald W. McLemore spoke of mandates and "Good
public policy," and suggested that citizens should become "More knowledgeable and
partner with the City" when possible. Mayor Bush spoke of a letter he had written to the
Highlands Homeowner's Association and stated, "What I have asked for is that you put in
writing the questions that you wanted answers to so that we can get you answers to those
questions officially either through the Manager and/or Staff - also I did request that the
[City] Clerk email to your Homeowner's office, as soon as it is available - the Agenda for
the City Commission Meetings which probably will be Thursday mornings."

"What can be done to protect people at the Winter Springs Elementary School and the
citizens in the Highlands and nearby areas from unwanted traffic in the school parking lot
on Sheoah Boulevard, 1st Court, and Algiers Avenue? Is the City aware whether or not
Davis Heritage will return in 2004 or beyond to propose a multi-family project of any
variety? Now that the City Commission has permitted the conditional use of multi-
family housing on the 'C-l' zoned parcel on which Cypress Pointe was to be built, will
that parcel forever be allowed to have multi-family usage?"
Mayor Bush stated, "Some of the things that you mentioned tonight - if you would go
ahead and include those in your response, as well as any others."

whole host of homes and I don't think that they coming here and saying that they were
interested in the resale value of their properties is enough. I think we should have some
record showing these people were in conformity with what we are doing, so in the event
that you put the wrong kind of business there, backing into any of those residences - the
entire neighborhood, we have something to fall back on." Commissioner Martinez
added, "I think we ought to take into consideration those people who have been living
there for many, many years."

Commissioner McGinnis returned to the dais.
Deputy Mayor Miller spoke for record about the City Commission reconsidering this
Ordinance. Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Miller spoke of some problem dumpsters and
specifically said that areas "On Moss Road, are still a problem after repeated reassurances
- that they are going to be moved around the back of the building where nobody can see
them in the neighborhood - they are still out in front with no walls around them -
everyone had fair warning that this was coming." Additionally, Deputy Mayor Miller
added, "We need to tell these people that own these apartment houses to take care of the
dumpsters, there is an Ordinance - if you need more time, take out a bank loan or maybe
put garbage cans out there, instead of dumpsters."
Commissioner Martinez spoke about Staff not completing the City Commission's
directive and said, "To wait until this item comes up like it happened last time, when he
was not here, to then say that Staff has not complied with the directive from this
Commission that was in place a 10ng time ago, is not acceptable. And I want
Commissioner Miller to know that - in looking at what she said and what she stated
tonight, and what she stated before, I have suggested that this be extended only six (6)
months, and they still say it is not enough time. There is no way that you can tell me that
six (6) months is not enough time for people to handle something like this."

Deputy Mayor Miller added, "This has been around a year. I expect you to do whatever
you have to do - give us a proposal and take care of the problems on the west side and
leave the ones on the rest of the City that maybe are not so critical until later - give them
six (6) or eight (8) months. I would go along with that, but the ones on the west side of
the City - that is what brought this up, that is what caused this Ordinance to be passed."
Deputy Mayor Miller then noted a problem located "Down from Richard's Barber Shop,
if you go down, there are three (3) or four (4) dumpsters right there in the middle of the
street, there is garbage around them, .trash." Furthermore, Deputy Mayor Miller said, "I
want this problem taken care of by 1 October - I want this issue addressed now - on this
deadline. You do whatever you do, and on an exception basis, give them thirty (30) days,
forty (40) days, whatever to come into compliance - but I think the time has come to get
this resolved and finish it."
Mayor Bush opened the "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item.
Ms. Eleanor Monroe, 314 Bridie Court, Winter Springs, Florida: stated that she was in
agreement with Deputy Mayor Miller and said that something needs to be done to solve
this problem.
The "Public Input" portion of this Agenda Item was closed.
Commissioner Blake spoke of Staff problems and stated, "Staff did not do it, but we did
not really give Staff the resources to get it done - I would like to see this taken care of as
soon as possible, obviously just because we extend it for one (1) year, doesn't mean it
should take 365 days from this date that we are extending it to, to complete the project. I
would hope that Staff would work diligently in this direction to know that we are going to
be watching very carefully to make sure that this is done correctly." Commissioner
Blake added that he did not see any exceptions in the Ordinance.

COMMISSIONER McLEOD STATED, "WE DO HAVE AN ORDINANCE FOR
THEM TO FOLLOW AND WE DO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS
DONE. HOWEVER, I THINK WE ALSO HAVE GOT TO BE FAIR AND
REALISTIC TO THE PEOPLE AND IF WE HAVE FAILED TO GIVE PROPER
NOTIFICATION, I THINK WE HAVE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE GIVE
PROPER NOTIFICATION, SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO BUDGET FOR
THIS AND MOVE FORWARD."
MANAGER McLEMORE SPOKE OF SITE DEVELOPMENT AND CODE
ENFORCEMENT ISSUES AND STATED, "THERE ARE GOING TO BE SOME
CASES THAT ARE GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH,
WHERE A DUMPSTER IS NOT THE RIGHT APPROACH - P ARTICULARL Y
IN THE CASES WHERE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT PROPERTY OWNERS AND
THEY DON'T HAVE MANDATORY ASSOCIATIONS, BINDING
ASSOCIATIONS; AND IT IS GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT PROBLEM IN
SOME OF THESE CASES, BUT WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO WORK WITH
THEM TO TRY AND FIND THE RIGHT SOLUTION."
COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ ADDED, "REGARDLESS OF REASONS WHY
THlNGS AREN'T DONE, THIS COMMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE
LAST WORD AND IF WE ISSUE A DIRECTIVE, IT SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
UP ON." COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ ADDED, "I UNDERSTAND
OVERLOAD - THERE HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS WORKLOAD AND A
CHANGE IN PERSONNEL IN THE DEPARTMENT IN QUESTION, BUT
SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE COME TO US, LONG BEFORE THIS ISSUE
CAME FOR A VOTE - AND SAID TO US, WE NEED STAFF, WE LACK THE
RESOURCES, WE NEED THE COMMISSION'S HELP TO TAKE CARE OF
BUSINESS."
"I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE MOTION TO EXTEND THE
COMPLIANCE DATE TO MARCH 1, 2004." AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION
BY COMMISSIONER MARTINEZ. SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
McGINNIS. DISCUSSION.
REGARDING THE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS OF EXTENDING THIS
ORDINANCE, ATTORNEY GARGANESE STATED, "THESE TYPES OF
ORDINANCES, THOSE THAT WILL ACTUALLY GO BACK TO PEOPLE AND
REQUIRE THEM TO CHANGE SOMETHING, LIKE IN THIS CASE THE
DUMPSTERS - FROM A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT, IT REQUIRES A
LITTLE MORE PROACTIVE APPROACH, WHERE YOU ACTUALLY GO
OUT THERE AND NOTIFY THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF THEIR NEW
OBLIGATION."

THOSE EXISTING DUMPSTERS ARE GOING TO REQUIRE A PROACTIVE
APPROACH AND NOTIFICATION FOLLOW-UP IN WORKING WITH THESE
PROPERTY OWNERS. THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT COMING INTO
COMPLIANCE BY THE OCTOBER 1, 2003 DEADLINE TECHNICALLY IS A
CODE VIOLATION, AND THE CITY CAN THEN HANDLE THAT, JUST LIKE
WE HANDLE ANY OTHER CODE VIOLATIONS, WHEREBY YOU CAN
PROVIDE WARNING NOTICES TO THESE FOLKS THAT THEY NEED TO
COME INTO COMPLIANCE, BEFORE CITING - IF THE CITY WANTED TO
DO THAT."
COMMISSIONER BLAKE SUGGESTED, "WE NEED TO STEP UP AND MAKE
SURE THAT WE HAVE DILIGENT CODE ENFORCEMENT FOR ANY
VIOLATOR OUT THERE THAT IS CREATING A HEALTH, SAFETY
WELFARE ISSUE AROUND THEIR DUMPSTER, AND THEN WE SHOULD
WORK IN A - BUSINESS-LIKE MANNER TO WORK TOWARDS GETTING
THOSE DUMPSTERS THAT ARE NOT BEHIND WALLS, TO HELP THEM
GET BEHIND WALLS."
FURTHERMORE, COMMISSIONER BLAKE THEN SAID THAT "YES, THERE
IS PROPER NOTICE OUT THERE. ANY TIME WE MAKE A LAW, AN
ORDINANCE, WE GO THROUGH THE PROPER PROCEDURES, THAT IS
ALL THE NOTICE THAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW - BUT THAT IS NOT THE
REALITY OF IT - IN REALITY, IT TAKES A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT TO
GET THEM TO DO IT."

MAYOR BUSH SAID, "SOME OF THE COMMISSIONERS HAVE MADE IT
PRETTY CLEAR THAT THEY WANT THIS ENFORCED TO CLEAN UP THE
CITY, AND I THINK THEY ARE GIVING YOU THE DIRECTION TO DO
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DO THAT - WHETHER IT MEANS HIRE STAFF-
THAT IS THE WAY I READ IT, IF I WERE SITTING IN YOUR SEAT, I
WOULD SAY THAT THEY WANT YOU TO GET THE JOB DONE,
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET IT DONE."

the highlights because it is about to start, and I would like those to be sent to the
Homeowner's Association President Helga Schwarz." Deputy Mayor Miller added, "I
think that would be very timely thing for us to do right now to provide that to them, so
that they know that something really is going to start." Manager McLemore said to Mr.
Kip Lockcuff, Public Works/Utility Department Director, "I would like to know if you
have any updated information?" Deputy Mayor Miller added, "Whatever is the best
information you have, I would appreciate it if you would send that along with whatever
'We have done in the past."

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."

Attorney can tell us, when you get a Resolution that breaks things down like this, should
