project was initially expected to cost
$1.45 million, but three unforeseen
projects — resurfacing the road in
front of the building, upgrading car-
peting and installing wallpaper — re-
quired additional funds.
The complex is a major change from
prjfvious municipal facilities, which
ranged from the former North Orlando
Water and Sewer Co. building on
North Fairfax Avenue to a trailer, fire
station and an abandoned recreation
building on Edgemon Avenue.
The 3,000-foot-recreation building
housed city hall through last week and
will be converted into a community
recreation building.
The fire department also will gain
space from the city's move to new
headquarters by taking over the police
departments quarter's at Moss Road
and First Avenue.
Not only the layout of the new mu-
nicipal building, but refined technol-
ogy, particularly in the police
department, is a marked change from
the sparse equipment of the past.
Before the move the police commu-
nications center consisted of home-
made communications units. The new
center includes an advanced telephone
system with direct access to the coun-
ty sheriff and fire departments and the
city fire department. In addition, a
dictaphone tapes all incoming calls to
the police department, which aids
emergency assistance.
The new municipal complex will of-
ficially open on Sept. 20 at 11 a.m. in
a ceremony including state and local
d nitaries.
An opening celebration for the pub-
lic will take place Sept. 21 at 11 a.m.,
featuring guided tours through the
building, refreshments and
entertainment.

Convenience Markets
Expansion Opposed
They have hied before and lost. But a group of Winter
Springs residents unhappy about the growing number of
convenience stores in their City will try again tonight when
they air their complicate before the city council.
A group of citizens Mostly from the Sugar Greek,Forest
Creek and Ranchland subdivisions plan to protest the
prapoeed cenitruttion of a Shop&Go store on Hayes load
and a Citgo gas station between Fairfax and Devon
avenues: ...
The city's board of adjustment approved plans for the
businesses inSidtdespRe a petition signed by more than
150 residents opposing the construction.
The boar'd's derision was appealed and councilmen will
take up theissae at tonight's meeting,which Wks in_CRY
hall on North Edgemon Avenue.
However, if past actions are any indication, the
protesters will get little sympathy from the council.Twice
.in the past few months, councilmen have tarn down
requests to limit the number of convenience stores in the
city,claiming to do so would interfere with the American
system of free enterprise.
Those opposed to more convenience-stores counter that
there are already too many such buslheeaes in Winter
Springs, pointing to the five along a two-mule stretch of
State Bond 434witha sixth scheduled to WWI*hi the Rear
future.
They also complain that so many stores tie.up traffic
along already-congested S.R.434 and are "hangouts" fa
kids.
Also at tonight's meeting,councilmen are scheduled to
review the city's tentative 190142 budget of$1.9 million.As
proposed, next year's spending plan will require no tax
increase. If the budget is approved. local residers will
continue to pay the present rate of $2.05 per 01,000 of
'a&xssed property value. BRITSMITH
