Across the state, municipalities are using AI to streamline processes, improve service delivery, and make more informed decisions. The Florida League of Cities’ AI Resource Hub brings these examples together so you can learn from your peers and explore what may work in your community. Here’s what cities are doing today: Altamonte Springs is using AI to support permit review and is now working with a private partner to develop tools that can check building plans against code—potentially reducing review timelines and improving efficiency. Lakeland has deployed AI-enabled cameras to identify potholes in real time, helping crews respond faster and prioritize repairs more effectively. West Palm Beach is participating in a national AI initiative, gaining access to research, peer collaboration, and tested strategies to enhance city services and resident engagement. Miami is using AI to pre-screen permit applications, helping reduce backlogs and improve the experience for residents and developers. Explore the FLC AI Hub The FLC AI Resource Hub is designed specifically for Florida municipalities, offering practical guidance, real-world examples, and tools you can start using today. Explore tools and guidance to help your city: Understand AI fundamentals Evaluate risks and opportunities Adopt tools responsibly Navigate legal and privacy considerations See examples from other Florida cities Two new guides are available this month: AI in Permitting and Communications and Public Engagement. As more cities continue testing and implementing AI, we’ll continue to share examples and tools to support your work. If your city is exploring AI, we encourage you to share your experience. Your success stories can help inform and support other Florida communities! Explore AI Hub Advertisement by Florida League of Cities | 301 S.

I reached out a few weeks ago but never heard back. The creek on the north side of Winter Springs Blvd next to 1030 Winter Springs Blvd has plant overgrowth in the creek making the water flow almost nonexistent. Is there any way to cut out some of the plant debris for adequate water flow? Thank you, Codey Conway Disclaimer PLEASE NOTE: Florida has a very broad public records law (F. S. 119).

As you all know, we are approaching thestart of hurricane season, and our stormwater system and creeks play a critical role in managingflooding. I recently drove around Moss, Murphy, and Edgemon and walked along Gee Creek. During thattime, I noticed debris, trash, and significant overgrowth in several areas. I also walked along GeeCreek behind Hacienda Village near Costa Rica Drive and observed large rocks, debris, andadditional overgrowth. I want to ensure our creeks are clear and properly prepared ahead of storm season. Could youplease let me know if there is a regular maintenance schedule in place to inspect, dredge andclear the creeks before hurricane season each year? Ensuring our creeks can handle the storm season and help mitigate flooding is a top priority forme.

As you all know, we are approaching thestart of hurricane season, and our stormwater system and creeks play a critical role in managingflooding. I recently drove around Moss, Murphy, and Edgemon and walked along Gee Creek. During thattime, I noticed debris, trash, and significant overgrowth in several areas. I also walked along GeeCreek behind Hacienda Village near Costa Rica Drive and observed large rocks, debris, andadditional overgrowth. I want to ensure our creeks are clear and properly prepared ahead of storm season. Could youplease let me know if there is a regular maintenance schedule in place to inspect, dredge andclear the creeks before hurricane season each year? Ensuring our creeks can handle the storm season and help mitigate flooding is a top priority forme.

As of Friday we still do not have a state budget. We anticipate the legislature coming back up to three times or more. Also, on Friday the Governor hosted a press conference in Jacksonville. Now, this press conference gives some good insight. The Governor noted the 60-day legislative session adjourned “sine die” earlier that day and described the session as having produced “a lot of things that were very productive.” The Governor highlighted legislation addressing school union representation and also new policy addressing energy demand from large data centers. Core concept: Hyperscale data centers can consume power equivalent to a city of ~500,000 people. The legislation ensures ratepayers cannot be forced to subsidize energy costs caused by such facilities. The Governor stressed the legislature adjourned without passing a state budget, the only constitutionally required task. A special session will be required to complete the budget and he expects it to happen soon and not drag into June. The Governor identified several points of contention between the House and Senate such as Everglades Restoration Funding; State Debt Reduction; Schools of Hope Funding: Florida State Guard; and Rural Health Funding BUT the Governor then called for major property tax changes. He called for exempting homestead property owners from property taxes through a constitutional amendment. He wants the issue on the November ballot. He argued local governments increased property tax revenue from $32 billion in 2019 to $60 billion today. Please give me a call if you have any questions….

On Tuesday, March 10, the City was notified of a possible fish kill in the lake located on the east side of the subdivision. City staff and our maintenance contractor, SOLitude Lake Management, responded immediately and confirmed that several fish had died. Preliminary findings indicate that recent algae control treatments, combined with ongoing drought conditions and a 2–3 foot drop in water levels caused by removed boards at the control structure weir, likely contributed to reduced dissolved oxygen levels in the lake. The City and SOLitude met this morning and have established an action plan to stabilize and restore the lake’s health. The plan includes the following steps: • Suspending all chemical treatments. Future treatments will not include copper-based products for the next 60–90 days. • Restoring oxygen levels through temporary aeration using a pump and generator. • Conducting sediment testing to better understand nutrient levels within the lake. • Applying a treatment product called SeDox. This treatment will bind phosphorus in the lake and reduce the nutrient load while immediately increasing dissolved oxygen levels to approximately 5–6 ppm. SeDox will also help balance the lake’s pH and promote the decomposition of the organic material on the lake bottom, which can improve overall water clarity. The treatment is safe for fish and wildlife and does not contain heavy metals found in some similar products. In addition, the City is pursuing several long-term improvements, including: • Installation of a permanent aeration system, which is critical for maintaining consistent oxygen levels throughout the water column and assisting in the breakdown of organic material. • Additional phosphorus reduction treatments to control nutrient loading. • Repairs to the lake’s control structure. SOLitude will continue removing dead fish and will monitor oxygen levels weekly. Once conditions stabilize, they have committed to restocking fish in the lake at no cost to the City. City staff will remain engaged and will provide updates as additional information becomes available. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to return the lake to a healthy and stable condition. If you have any questions, please contact the City Public Works Department or my office directly.

My company, Solcium Solar, was contracted by the Millers to install a ground-mounted solar system on their property. The plans were submitted to the City of Winter Springs, fully reviewed, permitted, and successfully passed all required inspections. Well after completion, Duke Energy informed us that the system must be relocated due to its placement within a recorded easement (see attached Duke correspondence). This came as a surprise to both the Millers and our team, given the City’s prior approval of the exact, current installation location. Notably, the easement in question had not been actively used for many years and was heavily overgrown. Mr. Miller personally cleared the area, which previously consisted of only a narrow walking path—unsuitable for vehicle access. In contrast, Duke has maintained and utilized an alternative gravel access road for servicing nearby lines. Even after our solar installation, large service vehicles have successfully navigated around and behind the system without issue. This newly enforced easement by Duke Energy is impacting not only the Miller's solar project but also much of the property they planned to develop in the near future. Our preferred outcome is to maintain the system in its current location, provided your office can assist in reaching an accommodation or resolution with Duke Energy. If relocation is ultimately required, the Millers will incur approximately $10,000 in land clearing costs, and our company will face $23,018 in labor and material expenses to move the system. In this case, given that the installation was completed in full compliance with City-approved plans and inspections, we respectfully request your office’s assistance in exploring any available recovery funds or remedies that may help offset these costs—costs stemming from the potentially negligent approval of the installation within the easement by city employees. These unexpected costs present a significant burden to both the Miller family and our small, local business. Solcium remains committed to doing right by our customers and would greatly appreciate your support in helping us reach a fair resolution with Duke Energy as that is the most ideal outcome for all parties involved.. Thank you very much in advance for your time and consideration. We look forward to your response.

I have included my HOA President here so he is aware of our communication. This document is only in a draft form and is not ready to be released yet, but I think that it is a good start to identify the questions concerning stormwater issues and Howell Creek. We also currently have a request for information in with the City Clerk from 5 February to try to get some answers on this too. I believe that I have identified some areas that the City could explore for clarification as well as for funding assistance as requested by Mr. Saunier. ...But as reminder, when the City looked into this before (following Hurricane IAN), the City was unwilling to work with our HOA to establish an easement, or to accept the property in a transfer, or even to fund the 25% cost share (~$1.1 Mil) required by NRCS to initiate the project to stabilize Howell Creek's bank here. (As info, Seminole County did fund the 25% NRCS cost share on "both public and private property" as told to me by Commissioner Dallari.) Here is what I have put together so far for your information.

The Sports Commission asked for $20 million to stage the weeklong NBA showcase and $15 million for the Olympic qualifying competitions to pay for venue staffing, event security, public safety and other costs related to hosting the events. Pushed to five shots behind the leader with nine holes to go, Akshay Bhatia staged one of the best comebacks in recent memory to force a play-off at 15- under at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The 24-year-old Bhatia played boldly, as once said by Arnold Palmer, to make a great charge on the back nine that included four birdies in a row from the 10th and an eagle on the 16th to force said play-off and win the tournament.

Join us in packing out Inter&Co Stadium and showing the Seattle Reign FC and NWSL what Orlando is about! The Orlando Magic (36-28) came through in the clutch again in last night's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. After back-to-back 3-pointers by James Harden and Donovan Mitchell brought the Cavs within 2 points after trailing by 13 earlier in the fourth quarter, Desmond Bane responded with a triple of his own with 17.4 seconds left to help seal the Magic’s 128-122 victory. The Magic have now won five straight and now sit 5th place in the Eastern Conference. The Magic will look to keep this momentum going tonight as they host the Washington Wizards in the Kia Center at 7 PM.

Mayors and other heads of local and tribal government—like town and county managers, council members, village and borough presidents, county commissioners, and supervisors—can be champions for monarchs through the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayors’ Monarch Pledge. I am writing to ask you to join a coalition of local leaders across North America working to protect the monarch butterfly for generations to come. The Mayors’ Monarch Pledge is currently accepting pledges until March 31, and I hope our community will join this crucial initiative. Since 2015, more than 2,400 pledges have been taken, and these signatories have engaged more than 16 million people and restored or enhanced more than 12,100 acres of habitat. With our nation’s migratory monarch butterfly populations dwindling, leaders like yourself hold the key to rallying our community around critical conservation efforts that can help this imperiled pollinator. The Mayors’ Monarch Pledge provides a proven framework intended to support efforts to create and expand habitat for monarchs and other wildlife, where people live, work, learn, play, and worship. Implementing the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge in our community involves three main steps: 1. Take the online pledge by March 31 each year and select at least 3 action items out of 30 that our community will work on related to monarch conservation: https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url? a=https%3a%2f%2fmayorsmonarchportal.nwf.org%2f&c=E,1,HzwclNXDCLNbbtpMIrvAQR1dO73IKJNZ4Ff4Q9FCDtBypXlBksbg_MRivjx2PJvnMi7WL8NL7mygaOuaWiS6JzKV6xpPof-eshrxg_fS&typo=1 2. Initiate the specified actions our community selected throughout the year. 3. Track and report our progress by submitting an annual report by December 1. Learn more about the pledge and how you can chart our community’s path to becoming monarch champions by visiting https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url? a=https%3a%2f%2f%2f%2fwww.nwf.org%2fmayorsmonarchpledge&c=E,1,asMI2XTaIGmVCoUgxPNl5eeGdWWhZ5rzFXiJAXZJvovkAEkCUflKK9Q0ftLf_LJagpofLGYGutdd8y9NtWyORo_rauHQDjUMhOnO83OI7jdgDyQ- OlLXPA,,&typo=1.

SR 516 Reaches Milestone SR 516’s footprint is starting to come into focus in Horizon West. Construction crews recently marked a major milestone as large bridge girders were hoisted over SR 429 – marking a major step forward in completing the new SR 429 / SR 516 interchange in Orange County. Once complete, this interchange will help link Lake and Orange counties with an innovative expressway designed to improve regional mobility and support future growth. The SR 516 Lake/Orange Expressway is being developed to address increasing transportation demand in this fast-growing area, while enhancing connectivity across the region. The project will: Improve east-west connectivity between Orange and Lake counties, including Horizon West and Clermont Support the Lake County Wellness Way Area Plan, a long-term vision for balanced growth and community development Expand transportation options with a dedicated multi-use trail for cyclists and pedestrians When finished, SR 516 will provide an important new route for residents, businesses, and visitors, helping reduce travel times and improving access throughout the corridor. Click here to stay up to date with the latest updates. Can You Count to 3? You’ve heard of counting seconds in Mississippis, but here in Florida we use “Tallahassees”. And you need 3 Tallahassees between you & the car in front of you to stay safe if they slam on brakes. Try this, pick a landmark ahead like a sign or light pole. Once they pass it, count 1 Tallahassee, 2 Tallahassee, 3 Tallahassee. If you pass your landmark before the third Tallahassee, give the person in front of you a little more room.

Community meetings like this allow residents to ask questions, share feedback, and stay informed about transportation improvements being made in their area.

Date:Tuesday, March 17, 2026 12:54:07 PM EXTERNAL EMAIL: [Caution: Do not click on links or open any attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.] Please lift or modify any existing ordinances and/or regulations that require the removal of fallen leaves from residential and commercial landscapes, including outdoor public spaces in our community. What we do with fallen leaves in the fall in our community can have huge impacts on wildlife in the spring. When leaves are collected and thrown away or sent to the landfill in the fall, we eliminate an important overwintering microhabitat for caterpillars, salamanders, fireflies and other local wildlife in addition to disrupting the ecosystem. Have you ever wondered where butterflies go in winter? The answer is right underfoot. Butterflies and moths may overwinter in the leaves as caterpillars, chrysalises, or even in their adult forms, depending on the species. When leaves are raked into a yard waste bag, up to 45% of a yard’s butterflies are thrown away! According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency leaves and other yard debris account for more than 12 percent of the nation’s solid waste—with more than a whopping 10 million tons buried in landfills every year. Without enough oxygen to decompose, this organic matter releases the greenhouse gas methane into our atmosphere. Fallen leaves can be moved from turf areas to appropriate garden beds and around the bases of trees to create a three to five inches deep natural mulch where wildlife can overwinter and plants can benefit from their nutrients. Or they can be composted and returned to help build our soils. Most of us are completely unaware of this information yet it is Nautres' way of continuing the cycle of life. Everything depends on something else but together a miracle is created. Thank you for taking action to make sure our local ordinances and/or regulations do not prohibit us from leaving the leaves when they fall in residential and commercial landscapes and in public outdoor spaces, but are used to provide habitat for local wildlife and do not end up in the landfill.

Also, congrats! I work with event organizers and marketing teams like yours to understand complete event attendance and community engagement beyond basic counts and surveys. Most civic organizations only see 30-40% of actual foot traffic to their event venues and community spaces, missing critical insights for event optimization and marketing ROI measurement. Events & marketing teams at cities nearby like Winter Park, St Cloud, Leesburg, Eustis and Gainesville are using Placer's visitor intelligence to discover: True visitor demographics for event venues and community programming sites Which marketing campaigns actually drove event attendance versus just awareness Optimal timing for community events based on historical foot traffic patterns New ways to demonstrate event value to sponsors and community stakeholders Are you available on Friday at 1pm to explore how this would help City of Winter Springs, Florida and look at an event of yours?

Call Us To Donate Your Items! Email Us To Schedule Your Appointment! Stories That Still Touch Our Heart! Impactful stories like Emylee’s remind us why this work matters In 2020, Emylee and her two children were living in hotels across Orlando after leaving unsafe circumstances. As a young single mother, stability was difficult to find. “You couldn’t stay in the hotels longer than two weeks,” Emylee shared. “We kept having to move, so we were never really stable.” After receiving assistance from Aspire Health Partners and the Rapid Re-Housing Program, Emylee was able to move into her own apartment. Aspire referred her to The Mustard Seed, where she received the essential household items she needed to start fresh—including beds for her children. During this challenging time, Emylee also made an incredible commitment to her future. While living in a shelter, she returned to school and is now employed as a full-time phlebotomy technician. “It was a rough past year, but there was a lot of help from the community,” she said. Stories like Emylee’s are possible because of the support of people like you. Your generosity helps families rebuild their lives, find stability, and create safe homes for their children. Help Make a House a Home Today! Have You Been Untitled Design_p1.png Served by The Mustard Seed? We want to hear your story. If you or someone you know has received services from The Mustard Seed in the past, we would love to reconnect. Sharing your experience can inspire others who may be going through similar challenges and help demonstrate the lasting impact of our mission. Your story may also help The Mustard Seed continue securing the support needed to serve future families. If you would like to share your story, please reach out to: Alycia Calderon-Walker alycia@mustardseedfla.org Your journey could remind another family that they are not alone. What Is Furniture Poverty? Furniture poverty occurs when families have housing but lack the essential household items needed to live with dignity and stability. Without beds, tables, dressers, or basic furnishings, many families are forced to live in empty apartments with little more than bare floors. Furniture poverty affects: • Families transitioning out of homelessness • Survivors of domestic violence • Individuals recovering from disasters • Veterans and seniors on fixed incomes • Parents working to rebuild stability for their children At The Mustard Seed, we believe that a home should be more than four walls. A bed gives a child a place to sleep. A table allows a family to share meals together. A dresser creates organization and stability. These simple items can restore comfort, dignity, and hope. An Amazing Way to Provide Hope! Every year, The Mustard Seed of Central Florida serves over 1,000 families across Central Florida. Supporting that many families requires thousands of the small — but essential — items that transform empty spaces into true homes. When families transition out of crisis — whether from homelessness, domestic violence, medical hardship, or financial instability — housing alone is not enough. A home needs the everyday items that create comfort, dignity, and stability. Items like: • Linens to keep warm at night • Bath towels to begin each day with dignity • Plates and kitchenware to share meals together • Clothing to fill dressers and help families start fresh These are not extras. They are the foundation of stability, routine, and hope. Recently, many friends of the agency have stepped forward with generous donations, and we are incredibly grateful for this continued support. Your kindness helps ensure families arriving at The Mustard Seed can walk into a home that feels complete. If you’re looking for a simple way to contribute, our Amazon Wishlist features essential items identified by our warehouse and client services teams as most needed. Small, intentional acts of support truly make a difference for families rebuilding their lives. And if you have recently donated items or supported our work, we would love the opportunity to personally thank you. Please feel free to reach out to us if you would like to connect — we are always grateful for the community that makes this mission possible. Consider completing this satisfaction survey so can get to know you or reply to this email today! Together, we continue helping families rebuild their lives and make a house a home.

Seminole County Supervisor of Elections | 1500 E Airport Blvd | Sanford, FL 32773 US Unsubscribe | Update Profile | Constant Contact Data Notice Constant Contact From:Kevin Sweet To:_Mayor & Commission Cc:_City Clerk Department; City Manager Office; Matthew Reeser Subject:Oak Forest Lake Update Date:Thursday, March 12, 2026 10:25:38 AM Good morning, On Tuesday, March 10, at approximately 6:00 p.m., the City was notified of a possible fish kill at a stormwater pond located on the east side of the Oak Forest Subdivision. City staff, along with our pond maintenance contractor, SOLitude, responded to the site and confirmed the presence of several dead fish. It is believed that recent algae control spraying as part of routine pond maintenance, combined with drought conditions and lower water levels, may have contributed to reduced dissolved‑oxygen levels. Staff also recently discovered that several boards had been removed from the control‑structure weir at the Oak Forest pond, causing water levels to drop 2–3 feet below normal. Our contractor continues to be on-site to remove dead fish, and following a meeting this morning, City staff and SOLitude established a plan of action to address the situation. This plan includes temporarily suspending chemical treatments, monitoring oxygen levels closely, conducting sediment testing, and pursuing long‑term improvements such as aeration, phosphorus‑reduction treatments, and repairs to the control structure. Additionally, Public Works is implementing a temporary aeration solution by installing a pump and generator to circulate water and restore dissolved‑oxygen levels. City staff will continue to monitor conditions closely and will provide updates as more information becomes available.

THANK YOU As we share the final On Tap @ the Cap of the regular Legislative Session, we want to thank our members for your strong engagement and advocacy. Throughout the session, you responded to alerts, reached out to your legislators, and participated in Legislative Action Days in record numbers. Your involvement has made a real difference and has been critical in helping defend the principles of home rule. On behalf of the entire League team, thank you for your continued support. Today marks the 60th and final day of this year’s Legislative Session. However, the traditional sine die drop of the handkerchiefs did not take place, as the chambers concluded the 60-day session without reaching agreement on a state budget. As a result, the Legislature will need to reconvene to finalize the budget. Speaker of the House Daniel Perez and Senate President Ben Albritton both stated that their goal is to hold a special session on the budget next month in April. Property Taxes The 60-day session concluded without the Legislature adopting any major property tax proposal. However, it appears the Legislature intends to revisit the issue at a later date. It is still unclear whether property taxes will be considered during the same special session planned to address the state budget. Now that legislators have returned to their communities, it remains important for city officials to continue sharing the importance of property taxes with their representatives and senators. Please keep communicating the direct connection between property tax revenue and the essential services your communities rely on. This On Tap provides a snapshot of key bills impacting municipalities that were heard this session. Please also watch for our final report summarizing all legislation filed this year that affected cities. In the meantime, please view our bill summaries.

I have included my HOA President here so he is aware of our communication. This document is only in a draft form and is not ready to be released yet, but I think that it is a good start to identify the questions concerning stormwater issues and Howell Creek. We also currently have a request for information in with the City Clerk from 5 February to try to get some answers on this too. I believe that I have identified some areas that the City could explore for clarification as well as for funding assistance as requested by Mr. Saunier. ...But as reminder, when the City looked into this before (following Hurricane IAN), the City was unwilling to work with our HOA to establish an easement, or to accept the property in a transfer, or even to fund the 25% cost share (~$1.1 Mil) required by NRCS to initiate the project to stabilize Howell Creek's bank here. (As info, Seminole County did fund the 25% NRCS cost share on "both public and private property" as told to me by Commissioner Dallari.) Here is what I have put together so far for your information.

I am happy to assist with this research, but it is a complex issue. I’m sure that Mr. Saunier knows that better than anyone. We can think of this as (1) a local issue and do what we can locally; and (2) in a much broader context that involves State and Federal rethinking. Request that you give me some time to write down my thoughts on this so that I can better make sense of what I believe the issues are WRT our creeks and streams. We have issues involving both land ownership and the responsibility / accountability assigned to that ownership. In many instances (such as mine), this information is not clear or is unknown. Of course this all has to do with “taxpayer money” which makes this all the more difficult. Briefly, ownership includes public and private lands. As for the private lands we also have things like Homeowner Associations that are assigned properties and responsibilities along with the lands per the established and documented Plats & Tracts, and Developer Agreements. We have erosion and repair issues. We have basic maintenance issues such as keeping our creeks and streams clear of debris, silt, sand, and clean as far as water quality. My opinion is that we treat our creeks and streams on one hand, as a "natural public utility" when it comes to development issues and stormwater code standards to meet. But on the other hand, we do not acknowledge how this same “natural stormwater utility" should be maintained in whole, when it fails to carry the same stormwater as it was intended. A failure anywhere in the system could impact the “Public Need” (as Clete stated in his briefing on Monday, concerning our Ponds. This is the same argument that I used after “Ian” when Howell Creeks bank collapsed in my backyard). A failure will impact stormwaters movement as it is being conveyed into and through Howell Creek, the St. Johns River and ultimately into the Atlantic Ocean. In my opinion, you can't have it both ways. That is to make our creeks/streams a "natural stormwater utility" and then ignore repair and maintenance of these same creeks and streams (used in the service of ”the greater good”), when they happen to flow through private property. I offer as basic evidence, the Watershed Interactive Map provided by NRCS shown in this link: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs- initiatives/watershed-programs This map clearly illustrates how this "natural stormwater utility" is all interconnected. Yet we don’t treat it that way when it comes to maintaining and repairing it. Realistically, this is much more than a City and County issue. It is definitely a State issue, and probably a Federal issue. And since it is so complicated, it gets ignored. Anyway, I think that to answer the question locally (#1 above), I think that perhaps we might look at the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Operations (WFPO) Program as a start. Please give me some time to write something up for your consideration. Thank you.

Seems like a plan but as we all know the city always had good intentions just never follows through. Solitude signed a contract last year and was supposed to service the lake monthly we all know that did not happen. How are we supposed to rely on their word when they have proven in the past they (Solitude and WS) won’t keep it. The as you refer to them culverts, 3 that I am aware of, are 36” each in diameter and under ground, these are the pipes that were dredged last year that cause that huge vegetation bloat that cost each of the home owners upwards of 700 to clear, how does the City propose in adding filtration, was there a timeframe for researching and implementing this filtration system! As far as plants around the edge of the lake, understandably this will aid the lake in healing, but who will maintain those plants and if they die who will be responsible for replacing? I firmly believe until the lake is dredged we will have issues brought on by the lakes inability to digest 1 - 2 feet(may be more) of muck, I understand SeDox is supposed aid in digestion but again how can we be sure without a solid enforceable contract with Solitude and The City any of this will happen. I don't want to be the nay sayer here but the city promised in the 70s to keep the lake clean, they stopped, every time we brought up the old agreement suddenly the lake was private unless the city deemed it could dump waste water at will with no responsibility. I understand we are attempting to start afresh with the same group of players that have consistently side stepped their responsibility. Without a signed enforceable contract where equitable lines are drawn, as the home owners of this lake and the persons adversely affected buy the toxic run-off we cannot accept a handshake deal, if the City wishes to continue dumping toxic water into this once pristine lake we must have an iron clad agreement or this process is non-starter, for my part.

Thank you to Greg and Sherri for hosting! Also, we would like to thank Commissioner Mark Caruso for taking time on a Saturday to attend and hear, once again, our concerns and grievances concerning our lake. Taylor Kidney, Operations Manager for Solitude, shared a lot of information with the group concerning the recent fish kill and their plans to bring our lake back to its natural balance and how they are going to accomplish and maintain that. Below is a summary of some of the information that was shared with the group. It may not be in the exact order of how things will progress as this will depend on how the lake responds to the proposed treatments and the approvals needed by the City. Currently the anticipated plan of action is: No more copper treatment. Instead, they will be using a product called SeDox. This product will help bind the phosphorus and in turn produce oxygen that will help decompose the muck. This will be a once-a-year application and should produce a reduction in muck by 4 to 12 inches annually. We also discussed a filtration system that if installed in the culverts, would filter out a lot of the chemicals and debris that flow into our lake via the surrounding roads. Currently this is becoming a requirement in many cities to help protect our natural resources. Commissioner Caruso is going to investigate this with the city to see if this could be an option. The first thing they will do is to stabilize the lake by putting in the Sedox. They will be testing the water weekly and once the oxygen levels are back to normal, they will begin to restock the lake with the same species of fish that were killed. After that, the plan is to replant native vegetation along the shoreline, that will not be intrusive and take over the lake but will help in filtering out impurities. Solitude has an aeration system in their office that is designed to cover the entire lake providing more oxygen. The power to run the aerator will be paid for by the city. Both the aeration system and the SeDox are awaiting approval from the city to begin these services. Taylor committed Solitude to be on the lake monthly to observe any issues that may arise and correct.

Thank you to Greg and Sherri for hosting! Also, we would like to thank Commissioner Mark Caruso for taking time on a Saturday to attend and hear, once again, our concerns and grievances concerning our lake. Taylor Kidney, Operations Manager for Solitude, shared a lot of information with the group concerning the recent fish kill and their plans to bring our lake back to its natural balance and how they are going to accomplish and maintain that. Below is a summary of some of the information that was shared with the group. It may not be in the exact order of how things will progress as this will depend on how the lake responds to the proposed treatments and the approvals needed by the City. Currently the anticipated plan of action is: No more copper treatment. Instead, they will be using a product called SeDox. This product will help bind the phosphorus and in turn produce oxygen that will help decompose the muck. This will be a once-a-year application and should produce a reduction in muck by 4 to 12 inches annually. We also discussed a filtration system that if installed in the culverts, would filter out a lot of the chemicals and debris that flow into our lake via the surrounding roads. Currently this is becoming a requirement in many cities to help protect our natural resources. Commissioner Caruso is going to investigate this with the city to see if this could be an option. The first thing they will do is to stabilize the lake by putting in the Sedox. They will be testing the water weekly and once the oxygen levels are back to normal, they will begin to restock the lake with the same species of fish that were killed. After that, the plan is to replant native vegetation along the shoreline, that will not be intrusive and take over the lake but will help in filtering out impurities. Solitude has an aeration system in their office that is designed to cover the entire lake providing more oxygen. The power to run the aerator will be paid for by the city. Both the aeration system and the SeDox are awaiting approval from the city to begin these services. Taylor committed Solitude to be on the lake monthly to observe any issues that may arise and correct. We still need to be extremely diligent with follow up because this is all dependent on the city’s approval. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to either Mark Caruso or Taylor from Solitude.

My company, Solcium Solar, was contracted by the Millers to install a ground-mounted solar system on their property. The plans were submitted to the City of Winter Springs, fully reviewed, permitted, and successfully passed all required inspections. Well after completion, Duke Energy informed us that the system must be relocated due to its placement within a recorded easement (see attached Duke correspondence). This came as a surprise to both the Millers and our team, given the City’s prior approval of the exact, current installation location. Notably, the easement in question had not been actively used for many years and was heavily overgrown. Mr. Miller personally cleared the area, which previously consisted of only a narrow walking path—unsuitable for vehicle access. In contrast, Duke has maintained and utilized an alternative gravel access road for servicing nearby lines. Even after our solar installation, large service vehicles have successfully navigated around and behind the system without issue. This newly enforced easement by Duke Energy is impacting not only the Miller's solar project but also much of the property they planned to develop in the near future. Our preferred outcome is to maintain the system in its current location, provided your office can assist in reaching an accommodation or resolution with Duke Energy. If relocation is ultimately required, the Millers will incur approximately $10,000 in land clearing costs, and our company will face $23,018 in labor and material expenses to move the system. In this case, given that the installation was completed in full compliance with City- approved plans and inspections, we respectfully request your office’s assistance in exploring any available recovery funds or remedies that may help offset these costs—costs stemming from the potentially negligent approval of the installation within the easement by city employees. These unexpected costs present a significant burden to both the Miller family and our small, local business. Solcium remains committed to doing right by our customers and would greatly appreciate your support in helping us reach a fair resolution with Duke Energy as that is the most ideal outcome for all parties involved..

The longer it takes to get the lake sprayed the worse the problem gets, last year each household had to shell out $250 - 700 to get all the algae removed we should not have to do that again. There is an agreement from the 70’s signed by a single homeowner that allows the city to use the lake for runoff in exchange for lake cleaning/maintenace, should the city ask the present owners the same permission I would think the answer would be a resounding NO since history has taught us that the city will not honor their agreements. Our city taxes and services fees are nearly doubled and we still see no to little service from the city and anything that does get done take herculean efforts by homeowners pestering city officials. Can we please move forward on getting Solitude back on the lake for service.

I have a couple of things, the sidewalk replacement seemed to miss all the broken and sunken sidewalks and only replaced good concrete. 2 neighbors to the west of us have cracked sidewalks and had good sidewalk replaced. Not sure what the point was seems a huge waste of money. The lake is turning a nice pea soup green and needs some attention maybe Solitude needs to make a trip and treat the lake before the algae gets so bad we have to hire someone to scoop it out.

There has been some discussion about a ground-breaking ceremony for the Wawa and it was generally decided that Friday, March 27, 2026 at 9:00am would be a good time to do so. We have hosted these ourselves over the years. However, this one is more for certain members of the City so we’re going to defer to you for some direction here. Wawa has a few key people who would attend as well. Kristin from my office and I would be glad to jump on a call if that would help. She will be out of town next week on Spring Break, and I will be off the grid this coming Friday for a 20 mile bucket-list hike. So maybe tomorrow or Thursday could work for you if so. We will also want Scott on the call too since he can coordinate with Wawa. Let’s start to see what your availability is and then go from there. Sorry to throw this on you. But for now, it’s something that should be able to happen pretty easily. And it sounds like it will be appreciated by the City. Ryan Stahl President O 407.628.0077 C 407.342.0277 227 W.

Teams already planning to be part of the conversation include: • Jack Mariano – Pasco County Commissioner • Hillsborough County • Pinellas County • City of St. Petersburg • City of Tampa • Lake County • Board of County Commissioners (multiple counties) Representation includes utility directors, public works leadership, plant managers, and engineering teams across the region. What’s become clear is this is no longer a “wait and see” situation. Utilities are actively trying to understand what’s changing, what options are still viable, and how to plan for what’s ahead. This discussion is meant to bring the right people into the same room to talk through that directly. Here’s what we’ll be covering: • Where biosolids costs and disposal options are heading • What utilities are doing right now to adapt • Proven Class AA treatment approaches, including the Pasco County model • Funding and financing strategies being used across the state • What regional collaboration could look like moving forward It’s happening here: March 31, 2026 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM 4951 78th Avenue North Pinellas Park, FL 33781 If this is something you’d want visibility into, or a voice in, you can reserve a spot here: reserve a spot here Catered lunch will be provided for all attendees, so having a general sense of how many from your team may attend helps us plan accordingly.

Carissa, my name is Pam Foatman. My phone number is 407-616-2627. I'm calling in regards to the five G tower that was placed on northern way directly next to the wicklow subdivision entrance. It was my understanding that the poles had to look something like a street light, and I'm wondering why this one does not blend into the community at all. It is concrete about 40 ft taller than a street light, and it has a hideous black light attached to it. I did believe that there were supposed to be some type of guidelines that Verizon was adhering to on all of the other ones, and I'd like to know why this particular light or this particular tower. Does not blend in. If you could call me back 407-616-2627. Thank you. To listen to this message, open the attachment. Thank you, The Webex Team. Contact us if you need help.
