Areawide Housing Opportunity Plan - East Central Florida Regional Planning Council: Mr. Tom Binford, the City's representative on the E.C.F.R.P.C. on the AHOP Committee, which takes in Lake, Seminole, Orange, Osceola, Brevard and Volusia Counties explained that the Committee is trying to derive a formula that will allow so many units for subsidized housing in this six county area. Approval is needed of the concept by at least fifty per cent of the various governmental entities within the six county area. By approving the concept it in no way commits the City of Hinter Springs to have to build subsidized housing within the City. Under the Plan, percentages of subsidized housing units will be allocated to individual jurisdictions. However, should Winter Springs' designated number of units not be approved and constructed here, they could be reassigned elsewhere in the area. .

Fiscal Year 1981/82 Budget Calendar: The City Manager's schedule is to adopt the Budget by September 22, 1981. Councilman Arnold asked if the TRIM Bill changes our Charter because the Charter says the budget will be adopted no later than September 15. Councilman Arnold asked the Attorney to give us some statement to make sure we are not violating something if the budget is adopted on September 22, 1981. Financial Disclosure Forms have been distributed and they must be completed by July 15. Monthly reports have been distributed. Council asked that the Public Works Department report be more detailed. Manager Rozansky talked about the Hacienda entranceway. After receiving no relief from the Department of Transportation he has asked the Developer of the Park for some assistance, but has not heard from them. Mayor Piland asked Attorney Stalnaker to make an inquiry of Mr. Mullis in Tallahassee. He said he has been watching the synopsis of the Session on Channel 24 and the Legislators discussing home rule powers that have been vested in municipalities. A lot of these things that we have been taking to the Department of Transportation, such as speed limits and road signs within our municipal bounds - that if there is not a state statute that prohibits us, that we can lower those speed limits. Mayor Piland said he would like to find out if we are dealing with some administrative directive that D.O.T. is telling us we cannot do these things, and if we are, we need to put D.O.T. on notice that pursuant to the home rule powers con- veyed to the City that we are lowering speed limits where we deem them necessary to be lowered. Mayor Piland said he'ilould like the Attorney to give a report on this at the next meeting. He said he is very concerned that D.O.T. has to make approval of where we have to pay to put up a traffic signal. .

The Manager was asked to address this in next year's budget and also what it would cost residents if they were assessed. The tanker has been returned to the Forestry Service. Manager Rozansky reported that this is Clean Up, Fix Up Week. Copies of the Mayor's proclamation and a letter have been sent to all Homeowners Associations and businesses in the City. Councilman Torcaso said at h st week's CALNO meeting they discussed the County's costs for maintaining dirt roads. The monthly cost at present is $628.00 per month and in October the cost will be $1030 per month. Manager Rozansky said he will be looking at some alternatives to maintain the dirt roads. Councilman Trencher talked about changing the format of the budget by charting out the budget on a monthly revenue expense format. He asked that the budget that is to be recommended to Council be charted out on a monthly basis on the basis of past history so that Council can understand the percentage figures of expended funds and that Council knows there are sufficient funds left to carry out that particular function to the end of the year. . Councilman Trencher asked the City Manager for a detailed program for the paramedic program as follows: a detailed time and event schedule of what this program is going to constitute; how it is going to be funded; what period of time it is going to take to be able to implement it. He also asked for a detailed plan for a comprehensive time and events schedule for our parks and recreation program. Regular Meeting, City Council, June 9, 1981 Page 5 80-81-23 .
