Discussion followed on a recent visit by a sound expert. Captain Deisler then commented on recent occurrences,
how they are handling complaints, enforcement issues, and that they will be coming back with a Report when the

of noise to be travelling further?" Commissioner Resnick then referenced music played outside of Commissioner

Exemptions on property taxes and noted that he recently found out that Seminole County offers an additional
Exemption for seniors over the age of seventy-five (75), that the City of Altamonte Springs and the City of
Casselberry both offer an additional exemption for citizens over seventy-five (75) years of age, and asked if this
was something Winter Springs could consider.
Commissioner Hovey added, "Is it something we can look into?"
Attorney Garganese explained, "There are several statutory optional Exemptions for Ad Valorem Taxes; there is
an age Ad Valorem Tax Exemption. We can go ahead and put together an item for you, so you can take a look at
the Statute and determine what the City's options are."
Mayor Lacey added, "If you are going to do that, it should include a financial analysis of what that means."
Attorney Garganese said the City Manager could handle that and he could provide the legal information.
Mayor Lacey then asked, "Is there a Consensus from the Commission that we are going to ask Anthony
(Garganese) to put together the basic background information for this, for consideration — with the fiscal
evaluation?" Commissioner Hovey stated, "Yes." Commissioner Resnick agreed also. No objections were
stated.
Mr. Arsenio Calle, 110 Arrowhead Court, Winter Springs, Florida: mentioned that he thought that the
individuals speaking on the proposed Property Tax increase would have stayed through Public Input so that
citizens could address them; and hoped that the Seminole County Public Schools School Board would sign a
contract that after four (4) years of the proposed Property Tax, that it would not continue. Mr. Calle added that
he thought that the financial crises in the school system could be solved if schools were all Charter Schools.

Board for their consideration. Commissioner Hovey then commented on Charter Schools and also offered to put
Mr. Calle in contact with Members of the School Board to help get Mr. Calle's questions answered.
