I'll keep it short as I know you are all busy. Please install a noise barrier along the new Winding Hollow turn lane. The removal of trees and bushes for the new turn lane has led to constant traffic noise and headlights directly impacting our property and our neighbors. I have already spent over $600 attempting to fix this, but it has not been effective. Please do what's right and help us out. This issue resulted from the City’s project, and it needs to be addressed. Please provide an update on next steps and timing. Sincerely, Sage Attwood From: Sage Attwood <jsattwood@middlesexco.com> Sent: Monday, March 9, 2026 4:19 PM To: Mark Caruso <mcaruso@winterspringsfl.org>; mreeser@winterspringsfl.org <mreeser@winterspringsfl.org>; kmccann@winterspringsfl.org <kmccann@winterspringsfl.org>; pdiaz@winterspringsfl.org <pdiaz@winterspringsfl.org>; vbruce@winterspringsfl.org <vbruce@winterspringsfl.org>; sbaker@winterspringsfl.org <sbaker@winterspringsfl.org>; cresnick@winterspringsfl.org <cresnick@winterspringsfl.org>; ksweet@winterspringsfl.org <ksweet@winterspringsfl.org> Subject: Privacy and Noise Concerns – Winding Hollow Turn Lane Improvements Dear Mr. Caruso, Mr. Reeser, Mr. McCann, and others, I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to follow up regarding my previous email (June 9, 2025) and the on-site visit Mr. Caruso made to my home concerning the loss of the tree and landscape buffer along SR 434 near the Winding Hollow turn lane Improvement project. During the visit, we discussed how the trees that were previously along the roadway provided a natural barrier from traffic noise and headlights before they were removed as part of the project. At the time, it was suggested that we revisit the issue once the project was closer to completion. Since then, I understand that the City has indicated there was no intention of installing a barrier. However, I wanted to respectfully ask that this decision be reconsidered. SR 434 has increasingly become a major cut-through route, and traffic volumes appear significantly higher than they were in the past. Without the previous tree buffer, vehicle headlights now shine directly into our main living area every evening. While reducing noise would certainly be beneficial, the headlights entering the home have become the most disruptive issue. Since my previous email, my wife and I have now welcomed our newborn, and the light coming into the house each night has made it particularly difficult to keep the room dark while putting our baby to sleep. Our neighbors also speak on how the turn lane has drastically affected road noise and privacy concerns. After the trees were removed, I attempted to address the issue myself by installing over $600 worth of bushes to recreate some level of screening from the roadway. Unfortunately, the recent cold weather killed the plants, and we are once again fully exposed to the roadway. Because the trees that previously served as a natural barrier were removed during the project, I am respectfully asking if the City would be willing to reconsider installing some form of visual barrier along this 300 ft. stretch—whether that be fencing, a wall, or new landscaping—to help shield the direct headlights from entering our home and our neighbors. I have spent some time researching potential solutions, and even something as simple as a privacy fence would provide a significant improvement. A standard privacy fence would be relatively inexpensive, require little to no maintenance, and could potentially be installed for less than $3,000. While I understand larger noise walls can be costly, a straightforward visual barrier such as fencing or new landscaping could go a long way toward restoring the buffer that previously existed. I would be more than happy to meet on-site again if that would be helpful to review possible solutions. Thank you again for your time and consideration, and for everything you ALL do for the Winter Springs community. Since moving here, my wife and I have truly enjoyed being part of the community and appreciate the pride the city takes in maintaining it. We’ve also really enjoyed the events around town—especially the Winter Springs Scottish Highland Games, 4th of July event, and the recent Trotwood Park Farmers Market.

That's the 2026 wildfire forecast. AccuWeather's 2026 U.S. Wildfire Forecast, released yesterday, paints a sobering picture for preparedness professionals across the country. The forecast calls for 65,000 to 80,000 wildfires and up to 8 million acres burned this year. And the geography of risk lines up with a familiar map: the Southwest, Great Basin, Rockies, and Northwest carry the highest and most persistent danger, with California's risk building steadily through summer into autumn. The forecast's punch line isn't the count of fires — it's the size. Fewer fires but more acreage burned means the ones that do start are more likely to grow large fast, strain mutual aid, and push smoke across jurisdictions hundreds of miles away. 8M PROJECTED ACRES BURNED 80K PROJECTED FIRE IGNITIONS 4 REGIONS AT HIGHEST RISK This is the context we'll be meeting in a month from now. CCPC 2026 convenes in Las Vegas — the heart of the Great Basin — precisely where the forecast points. The agenda brings together the people whose job is to translate forecasts like this into operational plans: CAL FIRE, city and county sustainability offices, tribal resource managers, state emergency managers, and the federal partners coordinating across all of them.

My name is Mike Sheehan, and I’m the Seminole County Coordinator with the Epilepsy Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has served Central Florida for over 60 years. We recently opened an office here in Seminole County to better support individuals and families living with epilepsy—your neighbors, employees, and customers. To strengthen our community, we’re offering a free Epilepsy Awareness and Seizure First Aid training for you, your staff, and your community group. The training includes: Epilepsy Association services Seizure First Aid Seizure Action Plans Epilepsy awareness and more Our goal is to empower people with the knowledge and tools to respond confidently and compassionately to seizures. The session can be tailored to your group’s needs and is offered at no cost. We are also seeking partnerships with local businesses committed to making a real community impact.

DOJ Extends Website Accessibility Compliance Deadlines for Local Governments On April 17, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice issued an interim final rule extending website accessibility compliance deadlines for local governments by one year. The new deadlines are April 26, 2027, for county and municipal governments with populations of 50,000 and above, and April 26, 2028, for special districts and county and municipal governments with populations below 50,000. The Department cited concerns about staffing and technology capacity, noting the extension will provide greater predictability as governments work toward compliance and improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities. FLC will continue to monitor federal guidance and share updates, resources, and best practices to support your city’s compliance efforts. View ADA Accessibility Resources FLC Recognizes 2026 Home Rule Heroes The Florida League of Cities is proud to recognize its 2026 Home Rule Hero Award recipients, a distinguished group of local government leaders who went above and beyond during the Legislative Session to advocate for Florida’s cities. Home Rule Hero Award recipients are local government officials, both elected and non- elected, who consistently respond to the League’s request to engage with members of the Legislature and provide a local perspective on key issues. Whether it is answering a Legislative Alert, making a call to a lawmaker, or sharing real-time insight from their community, these individuals play a critical role in ensuring that the voice of Florida’s cities is heard where it matters most.

I wanted to reconnect following my note last month and extend the invitation to join us at the U.S. Infrastructure Development Conference, taking place June 3–4 in Dallas. As we’ve been building out the program and speaking with leaders across the industry, it’s become clear how much the conversation around project delivery continues to evolve, particularly around procurement strategy, risk allocation, and how agencies are navigating funding and delivery challenges. The audience we’re bringing together reflects that, with a thoughtful mix of public agency leaders and private sector partners. More than half of attendees are public owners leading major capital programs, which helps create a balanced and candid environment for discussion. The intent is to bring together leaders to share perspectives and engage in practical conversations around how projects are actually getting delivered today. Registration is complimentary for public sector attendees, and we would be pleased to have you or your team join us. I’d be glad to share additional information or a quick overview if useful.

I live at 149 Nandina Terrace. I am the treasurer of the Howell Creek Reserve Homeowners Association. I sent an email and paper to you on 30 March in preparation for the Stormwater Workshop on 1 April. Unfortunately, I was out of town and unable to attend the workshop myself. Since getting back in town, I have been able to watch the video of the workshop, and I have reviewed the briefing slides presented at the workshop. I understand the next discussion of stormwater rates will take place during the last week of April. Once again, I will be out of town on a vacation that has been scheduled for over a year. Having said that, I have many concerns about the lack of justification for the rate increases which the city staff has presented to the commissioners. The attached document identifies my latest observations, concerns, and recommendations. My concerns are shared by other members of our HOA board. Members of our board are available to meet with you in the near future to review the attached document and answer any questions you have. We would be willing to meet with any of the other commissioners if you think it is appropriate. The bottom line is there are many questions about the validity of the numbers and justification provided to the commissioners. I hope the attached document will help you evaluate the request for increases in stormwater fees. Please feel free to contact me at timwansbury@bellsouth.net or (407) 916-9183.

Mission Resort + Club in Howie-in- the-Hills will continue to serve as the host venue. GO Sports, Discover Lake County, and Mission Resort + Club have partnered to host the Horizon League Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships in the region since 2011. “We are excited to continue our long-standing relationship with the Greater Orlando Sports Commission and Mission Resort + Club,” stated Christine Neuman, Horizon League Interim Commissioner. “This incredible partnership has allowed us to create major experiences for our student-athletes in one of the pinnacle moments of their collegiate careers and we look forward to continuing to host our League championships in Lake County for the next four years.” “Discover Lake County is proud to continue our longstanding partnership with the Horizon League, the Greater Orlando Sports Commission, and Mission Resort + Club,” said Ryan Ritchie, Director of the Office of Tourism for Discover Lake County Florida. “Hosting these championships through 2029 is a testament to the exceptional experience our destination provides for student-athletes and coaches, both on and off the course.

Strategic Insights From the Report: 1. Mall traffic is proving resilient across formats. Indoor malls and open-air centers have posted consistent YoY visit growth, outlet declines have been modest, and early 2026 data shows renewed momentum across all three formats. 2. Performance is increasingly defined by the convenience– experience divide. Growth in short visits and extended stays – alongside declines in mid-length trips – shows that consumers are gravitating toward trips with a clear purpose, favoring either efficiency or immersion. 3. Indoor malls are strengthening their role as experiential “third places.” Rising dwell times and strong engagement from younger, contemporary households position indoor malls as leading destinations for longer, experience-driven trips. 4. Open-air centers are winning the weekly routine. A higher share of short, weekday visits – along with strong appeal among affluent families – underscores their role as convenient, essential retail hubs. 5. Outlet malls are at a crossroads. As off-price and online alternatives erode their treasure-hunt advantage and long- distance visitation softens, outlets face a strategic choice between deepening local relevance and reinvesting in destination appeal. 6. Strategic clarity will determine the winners. The malls that thrive will be those that intentionally optimize for convenience, experience, or a disciplined integration of both. Read it now Thanks!

Dear Planning and Zoning Board, My name is Rob Bushey, and I reside at 1217 Northern Way in the Tuscawilla Community. I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed development of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at 1221 Northern Way. While I recognize the potential benefits of ADUs in certain contexts, I believe this specific proposal, due to its location and design, would negatively impact the established character and harmony of our neighborhood, in violation of Section 9-607 Residential Compatibility and Harmony Regulations. My primary concern is the proposed location of the ADU. The plan to build this unit in the side yard, several hundred feet away from the primary residence, effectively divides the property into two separate dwellings. This layout does not align with the community's established character and zoning guidelines, which emphasize that ADUs should be situated closer to the main home and appropriately set back from the existing structure. Additionally, the proposal includes a driveway across the front yard to access the ADU. This is incompatible with the neighborhood’s aesthetic and design. I anticipate that tenants may bypass the driveway and use the sidewalk or right-of-way to access the ADU, further disrupting the neighborhood's cohesion. Although the ADU is intended to serve as a mother-in-law suite, its location raises concerns that it could easily be converted into a rental property or short-term rental, such as an Airbnb, which could significantly affect the residential character of the area. Another major concern is the design of the ADU. The proposed roof pitch is notably different from that of the primary residence, which suggests that this structure is being designed as a separate, independent dwelling rather than an accessory unit. This divergence in architectural style further underscores my concern that the proposed ADU is not compatible with the existing home or neighborhood. I would also urge that any building plans require landscaping proposals, as this was a stipulation when the original residence was constructed. Landscaping is essential to maintaining the aesthetic consistency of the neighborhood and mitigating the visual impact of the new development. Finally, I encourage you to visit the site to observe the work that has already been started. The site conditions will give you a clearer understanding of what is being proposed. I believe that upon viewing the property and envisioning a driveway crossing the front yard, you will better appreciate the concerns I’ve raised. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important matter.

I'll keep it short as I know you are all busy. Please install a noise barrier along the new Winding Hollow turn lane. The removal of trees and bushes for the new turn lane has led to constant traffic noise and headlights directly impacting our property and our neighbors. I have already spent over $600 attempting to fix this, but it has not been effective. Please do what's right and help us out. This issue resulted from the City’s project, and it needs to be addressed. Please provide an update on next steps and timing.

I wanted to follow up regarding my previous email (June 9, 2025) and the on-site visit Mr. Caruso made to my home concerning the loss of the tree and landscape buffer along SR 434 near the Winding Hollow turn lane Improvement project. During the visit, we discussed how the trees that were previously along the roadway provided a natural barrier from traffic noise and headlights before they were removed as part of the project. At the time, it was suggested that we revisit the issue once the project was closer to completion. Since then, I understand that the City has indicated there was no intention of installing a barrier. However, I wanted to respectfully ask that this decision be reconsidered. SR 434 has increasingly become a major cut-through route, and traffic volumes appear significantly higher than they were in the past. Without the previous tree buffer, vehicle headlights now shine directly into our main living area every evening. While reducing noise would certainly be beneficial, the headlights entering the home have become the most disruptive issue. Since my previous email, my wife and I have now welcomed our newborn, and the light coming into the house each night has made it particularly difficult to keep the room dark while putting our baby to sleep. Our neighbors also speak on how the turn lane has drastically affected road noise and privacy concerns. After the trees were removed, I attempted to address the issue myself by installing over $600 worth of bushes to recreate some level of screening from the roadway. Unfortunately, the recent cold weather killed the plants, and we are once again fully exposed to the roadway. Because the trees that previously served as a natural barrier were removed during the project, I am respectfully asking if the City would be willing to reconsider installing some form of visual barrier along this 300 ft. stretch—whether that be fencing, a wall, or new landscaping—to help shield the direct headlights from entering our home and our neighbors. I have spent some time researching potential solutions, and even something as simple as a privacy fence would provide a significant improvement. A standard privacy fence would be relatively inexpensive, require little to no maintenance, and could potentially be installed for less than $3,000. While I understand larger noise walls can be costly, a straightforward visual barrier such as fencing or new landscaping could go a long way toward restoring the buffer that previously existed. I would be more than happy to meet on-site again if that would be helpful to review possible solutions. Thank you again for your time and consideration, and for everything you ALL do for the Winter Springs community. Since moving here, my wife and I have truly enjoyed being part of the community and appreciate the pride the city takes in maintaining it. We’ve also really enjoyed the events around town—especially the Winter Springs Scottish Highland Games, 4th of July event, and the recent Trotwood Park Farmers Market.

We were not made aware of that agreement until the dredging of only the water inlets of the lake and the subsequent disaster of algae and floating plant debris. Bob On Apr 17, 2026 at 4:15 PM -0400, Bob Hamden <jiddi1@icloud.com>, wrote: Not much movement in the way of cleaning up the latest disaster on our lake. Here is a list of expectations: In exchange for dumping runoff: 1. The City agrees to hire a qualified lake management company to ensure the lake is maintained the company must provide credentials to the city and home owners, they must be insured and bonded. 2. The City must install filtration systems at the entry points to the lake to ensure forever chemicals and other unwanted chemicals are not being introduced. 3. The City must agree to pay for the maintenance and the cost of the aerators as well as the electric to power them. 4. The lake must have its fish replenished at a time when the water is capable of maintaining the environment 5. The homeowners must be notified (email, text or letter) when the lake management company is treating the lake and what chemicals and amounts are being applied. I know there is a 1979 agreement (47 years old) that will not hold up since none of the homeowners were informed there was an encumbrance on the property they purchased. The gentleman who made that agreement is no longer around and was part city's beginning and at a time when a lot of wink and handshake deals were being made Respectfully we need a new equitable agreement with the city and homeowners around the lake, status quo is no loner acceptable as we have experienced it leads to a lot of finger pointing and nothing getting done on an expedient timeline, except a lot of meetings that exclude the homeowners. The city continues to believe this lake private but treats it like as a public asset. Since this last blue/green algae bloom we have not been able to enjoy the lake, ride our boats on the lake even breathing is an issue when spending too much time by the lake even after the treatments since the edge of the lake still has algae.

From:Kevin Sweet To:Michelle Solano Cc:Mark Caruso; City Manager Office Subject:RE: Request for Review: City-Approved Solar Installation Impacted by Duke Utility Easement Enforcement Date:Thursday, April 30, 2026 7:19:24 PM Attachments:image001.png image002.png image003.png image004.png image005.png Permit Revocation Notice- RESD-2025-4298- 530 Julie Ln.pdf Ms. Solano, Thank you for your email and for outlining the circumstances regarding the solar installation at 530 Julie Lane. After consultation with the City Attorney and our Community Development staff, I would like to provide clarity on the City’s position and the path forward. As outlined in the formal notice issued by the City’s Building Official (attached), a recent site review confirmed that the ground-mounted solar array was not installed in accordance with the approved construction documents. Specifically, the placement of the system differs from the stamped and approved plans, and it has been determined that the installed location conflicts with an existing recorded easement. Under the Florida Building Code, work must be performed in compliance with the approved plans, and certificates issued in error or based on incorrect information are subject to revocation. With respect to the Duke easement, while we understand the concerns raised regarding its historical use and current condition, the City does not have the authority to override or extinguish a recorded utility easement, nor can we compel Duke Energy to waive or modify its rights. Any accommodation related to the easement would need to be addressed directly with Duke Energy. Regarding your request for cost recovery, after review with legal counsel, the City cannot support a claim through the Florida League of Cities or otherwise accept liability. The permitting and inspection process relies on the accuracy of submitted plans and field compliance with those approved documents. Deviations in installation, regardless of intent, ultimately fall outside of the scope of what the City can indemnify. That said, our team remains committed to working with you and the Millers to resolve this matter as efficiently as possible. As noted in the Building Official’s correspondence, the appropriate next step is to submit revised plans from the Engineer of Record identifying a compliant location for the solar array outside of all applicable easements, along with an updated survey. Our staff will prioritize review of any resubmittal and assist in expediting inspections once relocation is complete. We understand the financial and logistical impacts this situation presents and will continue to be responsive and supportive within the framework of our authority. Respectfully, Kevin From: Michelle Solano <michelle@solcium.com> Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2026 2:33 PM To: Kevin Sweet <ksweet@winterspringsfl.org> Cc: Mark Caruso <mcaruso@winterspringsfl.org> Subject: Fwd: Request for Review: City-Approved Solar Installation Impacted by Duke Utility Easement Enforcement EXTERNAL EMAIL: [Caution: Do not click on links or open any attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.] Hello Mr. Sweet, I am reaching out on behalf of your constituents, Jake and Roxanne Miller, who live in Dunmar Estates at 530 Julie Lane in Winter Springs, Florida. 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 the project was completed, Duke Energy informed us that the system must be relocated because it was installed within a 1954 recorded easement (see attached Duke correspondence). This came as a surprise to both the Millers and our team, given that the City had previously approved the exact installation location. We first reached out to Mark Caruso for guidance and assistance upon hearing this news from Duke Energy. Commissioner Caruso responded promptly, walked the site with us, and has been extremely helpful throughout this process. We are very appreciative of his quick response and continued support as we work toward a resolution. 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 not suitable for vehicle access. In contrast, Duke has long maintained and utilized an alternative gravel access road to service nearby lines. Even after installation, large service vehicles have successfully navigated around and behind the system without issue. This newly enforced easement now impacts not only the Millers’ solar project but also a significant portion of the property they had intended to develop. Our preferred outcome would be to maintain the system in its current location, should your office be able to help facilitate an accommodation or resolution with Duke Energy. However, we understand that this may not be a feasible outcome. Since relocation appears 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. This represents a significant financial burden both to us as a local, family- owned contracting business and to the homeowner, who now faces unexpected additional costs. Given that the installation was completed in full compliance with City-approved plans and passed all required inspections, we respectfully request your office’s assistance in pursuing a claim through the Florida League of Cities or exploring any other available avenues for cost recovery. These expenses stem from city employees' potentially negligent approval of the installation within the easement. We appreciate your time, consideration, and continued support in helping us work toward a fair resolution for all parties involved.

My name is Jennie Hayes and I am a resident in Seminole County. This might seem a bit unusual, but I'm actually reaching out to see if there is any way I can pray for you or your staff. A few weeks ago, a national group I follow, Family Research Council, based in DC, began an initiative to start, in each county in the nation, a chapter of Pray, Vote, Stand. We had our first meeting on April 7th and it was agreed, by all in attendance, that, while we have other activities we want to accomplish, we first, and foremost, want to ensure we are praying for those in elected office in our county. Our meetings will be the first Tuesday of the month, from 630-8pm, at First Baptist Sweetwater, in the Wekiva/Longwood area. You're always welcome to attend, too. But, in the days preceding our meetings, I will be reaching out, if it's okay with you, to ask if you, or your staff, have any specific prayer requests that we can lift up - personal or professional. And, if not, we will pray for peace and strength in your life as you navigate the challenges that, inherently, come with being a public servant. No pressure at all to share details—just wanted you to know there is a group of people in Seminole County who are thinking of you and praying for you and your staff as you serve our county. Thank you for all you are doing to serve our county and the City of Winter Springs! If you have anything you'd like me to share at our May 5th meeting, please let me know on or before Monday, May 4th. Thank you! Kind Regards, Jennie E.

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.

We have met a few times at past City Commissioners Meetings. Thank you for your dedication and service to our community. While I am a member of the HoA here, I am writing to you today as a regular homeowner most impacted by the WS Marketplace. I am hoping you will see (and acknowledge) the devastating condition of our side of the Marketplace border on Robert's Family Lane. Like you, every homeowner's goal is to maintain & enhance their safety, security, and property values. Since the Marketplace's inception, our side of the border has deteriorated into a field of weeds. Currently, there is no grass (healthy or not) on our side of the property. Whatever grass was originally installed, it was hardly maintained, and has since become a jungle of weeds. Additionally, Marketplace patrons occasionally discard their trash in that area too. It is a shame. It is a disgrace. It is unacceptable. This is the front & side of my property!!! How would you feel if this were the condition in your own home? (I'm almost certain you would never allow it.) I am appealing to you. Please. As part of the Marketplace's weekly lawn maintenance, please prioritize the health, maintenance, and beautification of our side of the border. We are not a commercial property... this is a residential area... with residents who value their homes and deserve the same rights as any other tax- paying homeowner in Winter Springs. As soon as feasible, please have someone remove all the weeds, install healthy grass, and provide weekly maintenance & beautification to our side of the border on Roberts Family Lane? Most of the weeds today reach up to my kneecaps. Jesup's Reserve HoA spends tens of thousands of dollars each year to ensure the integrity and beauty of our landscaping. It is extremely unfair that those of us on this side of the property are left to deal with this unsightly and unhealthy situation. I have attached photos for your review. Please feel free to stop by the area any time. You are sure to be disappointed. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to a resolution soon.

From infrastructure improvements to neighborhood initiatives and upcoming public workshops, the season offers many opportunities for residents to stay informed and involved. Several citywide initiatives are underway, including our efforts to address freeze‑related vegetation damage and cleanup in several areas. Road resurfacing, which began in March, will continue over the coming weeks. Additionally, the City recently received two recognitions that reflect our efforts in public preparedness and communication, highlighting our staff's work and reinforcing our commitment to keeping the community engaged and informed. During Flood Awareness Week, the American Flood Coalition recognized Winter Springs for our leadership in preparedness, community education, and resiliency.

Winter Springs Police Department WSPD April Safety Tip: Distracted Driving Distracted driving encompasses any activity that draws a driver’s attention away from driving, and it is one of the most dangerous hazards on today’s roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 3,000 lives were claimed by distractions while driving in 2023. Distracted driving has a wide range of causes that span beyond texting. Calling, adjusting navigation or CarPlay systems, eating, and drinking are just some of the potential distractions a driver may encounter. Though these may seem like small tasks, simply taking one’s eyes off the road for a few seconds can mean traveling a great distance essentially blind. Today, national efforts to lessen the impact and occurrence of distracted driving include state laws and mandates. Florida currently has a ban on writing, sending, and reading texts while driving. Now’s the time to take action to prevent distracted driving. Utilize your phone’s Do Not Disturb function, designate a passenger to handle communication, or pull over and park safely. Spread awareness to colleagues, friends, family, and others. Learn more about distracted driving and related state laws here. Read More Winter Springs Officer of the Month: Officer Vincent Torres The Winter Springs Police Department is proud to recognize Officer Vincent Torres as our Officer of the Month for April. On February 27, 2026, Officer Torres responded to a Baker Act call at the Grove Counseling Center involving a juvenile with a history of past confrontations with law enforcement. When Officer Torres arrived, the juvenile was visibly upset and trying to pull away from both staff and officers. Despite the potential for things to escalate, Officer Torres stayed calm, patient, and steady. He took a non‑confrontational, verbal approach—focusing on communication, empathy, and professionalism. By keeping the conversation going and building genuine rapport, he was able to get the young person to talk about what was behind the concerning statements, eventually learning that the juvenile was dealing with past trauma. Even as the juvenile showed fear and hesitation, Officer Torres’s presence and approach helped build enough trust for them to voluntarily agree to get help. His actions ensured a peaceful and safe outcome for everyone and prevented a situation that could have become much more serious. Officer Torres’s outstanding de‑escalation skills, leadership, and commitment to compassionate policing truly reflect the values of the Winter Springs Police Department. Please join us in congratulating Officer Torres on this well‑deserved recognition. WSPD Firearm Safety Class The Winter Springs Police Department is offering a series of Civilian Firearm Safety classes in response to evolving firearm laws and increasing public interest in shooting sports.

PANEL · DAY 1 Uncertainty as the Foundation, Not the Footnote For years, climate uncertainty has been treated as something to account for at the end of the analysis — a confdence interval, a sensitivity table, a caveat at the bottom of a slide. Dr. George Rhee will make the case that this framing is no longer adequate — that uncertainty is no longer a gues in our analysis, but a foundational input that mus be accounted for in the actions, plans, and models of every climate practitioner. It's a conversation for anyone whose work depends on projections that have to hold up under scrutiny. Dr. George Rhee Professor of Physics & Asronomy University of Nevada, Las Vegas PANEL · DAY 2 Data Centers — The Conversation Cities Are Having Internally This is the conversation almos every city and county is having right now, often without admitting it publicly. On one side: economic development teams, mayors, and council members who see data centers as a once-in-a-generation jobs-and-tax-base opportunity. On the other side: the same jurisdiction's susainability saf, water utilities, and grid planners watching energy demand triple and water consumption escalate, often in already- sressed regions. Dr. Michael Shank will lead a working session on how to navigate this disagreement consructively. The session draws on his Solutions Salon format from DC Climate Week and his bipartisan policy work in Congress.

We have met a few times at past City Commissioners Meetings. Thank you for your dedication and service to our community. While I am a member of the HoA here, I am writing to you today as a regular homeowner most impacted by the WS Marketplace. I am hoping you will see (and acknowledge) the devastating condition of our side of the Marketplace border on Robert's Family Lane. Like you, every homeowner's goal is to maintain & enhance their safety, security, and property values. Since the Marketplace's inception, our side of the border has deteriorated into a field of weeds. Currently, there is no grass (healthy or not) on our side of the property. Whatever grass was originally installed, it was hardly maintained, and has since become a jungle of weeds. Additionally, Marketplace patrons occasionally discard their trash in that area too. It is a shame. It is a disgrace. It is unacceptable. This is the front & side of my property!!! How would you feel if this were the condition in your own home? (I'm almost certain you would never allow it.) I am appealing to you. Please. As part of the Marketplace's weekly lawn maintenance, please prioritize the health, maintenance, and beautification of our side of the border. We are not a commercial property... this is a residential area... with residents who value their homes and deserve the same rights as any other tax-paying homeowner in Winter Springs. As soon as feasible, please have someone remove all the weeds, install healthy grass, and provide weekly maintenance & beautification to our side of the border on Roberts Family Lane? Most of the weeds today reach up to my kneecaps. Jesup's Reserve HoA spends tens of thousands of dollars each year to ensure the integrity and beauty of our landscaping. It is extremely unfair that those of us on this side of the property are left to deal with this unsightly and unhealthy situation. I have attached photos for your review. Please feel free to stop by the area any time. You are sure to be disappointed. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to a resolution soon.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S CORNER: Appreciation for Counties and Those Who Manage Them In honor of National County Government Month, we celebrate those in county management across the United States.

They often operate where challenges are most visible and most complex—public health, human services, justice systems, infrastructure, and emergency response. Read more Read more Our members who serve in counties share a common foundation with all professionally managed local governments: a commitment to ethical leadership, effective management, and service to the public. This was formally acknowledged by the ICMA membership in 1991 when we voted to change our name to be inclusive of counties, becoming the International City/County Management Association. That shared foundation is why counties and those who manage them are so integral to our professional organization.

But one of the most important ways for you to spend your time is tending to your relationship with each of your governing body members. “Over the course of my career, the council/ manager one-on-one meetings have been fundamental. The councilmembers appreciate them; my staff appreciate them because they know I will relay information or harvest questions from them to be better prepared; and I appreciate them for the value of establishing and maintaining those vital relationships.” — Sherilyn Lombos, city manager, Tualatin, Oregon PM Xtras “Why We Give to the Fund” with the Texas City Management Association “Becoming a contributor is an act of institutional stewardship—an authentic way of paying it forward.” Read more.

The Southern Group, in partnership with TSG Advisors and Darwin AI, invites you to join us for an upcoming virtual webinar: This session is designed for public sector leaders across Florida and beyond, providing practical, actionable insights on how to responsibly navigate AI adoption across agencies, departments, and communities. We'll open with a timely overview of AI policy at both the state and federal level, then move into a focused conversation on what it means for you and your organization. Attendees will also hear from policy experts discussing the real-time impact of AI and the developing policy landscape at the local, state, and federal level. During this webinar, we'll cover: •The current state of AI adoption across government • Key policy and regulatory considerations impacting Florida • Risks, challenges, and opportunities tied to AI implementation • Best practices for governance, oversight, and responsible use You'll hear from a distinguished group of voices, including Chris Dudley and Ben Levy, policy experts from The Southern Group, Darwin AI Chief AI Officer & U.S. GM Dustin Haisler, and The Southern Group's Erin Rock, who will moderate the discussion to discuss AI policy and oversight at the federal, state and local level. Whether you're just beginning to explore AI or looking to refine your approach, this conversation will equip you with the tools and perspective needed to move forward with confidence.
