He stated they were looking forward to and were excited about the new development that was to come. He said it reminded him of Winter Park Village or Uptown Altamonte, and now Longwood was going to get a chance to move into a new phase of the City. He stated the City already has money invested in the streetscape and they would like to see the City of Longwood move into a new sector. Sometimes you have to think that we need to move into the future and get enough people together to say we need to do something. John A. Blackstock, Owner of the Shell Sta"tion at 100 Dog Track Road, said he was very excited about the new plan. He stated he went to City i Hall and picked up a copy, took it home and showed it to his family and CC 07-20-09/394 friends. He said this proposal they have on the table looks very. great, and was an economical future for the City of Longwood that they do not possess at the present time to incaude restaurants, a nice theater, and a laid back atmosphere with community development. He stated they could have never have chosen a better time to put this together and they were looking forward to it. He said he also has done research regarding gambling in the City and that doesn't come close to what the Commissioners are looking at. He stated he would leave a copy of this for them to look at and was hoping they could get together to get this project off the ground. He said our children and grandchildren would enjoy the footprint we leave here for them. He declared the Commission holds the future for Longwood and they need their help. Tom C. DeNegre, 330 Ferdinand Drive, said he came to talk about two issues. He stated the Pic n' Save .vas a big campaign issue last November and he didn't know what has hap~~ened since then. He requested an update on this and said he would also like to find out about Reiter Park. Peter Katauskas, 1401 South Grant Street, said he also attends Northland Church, and stated there has been a lot of dialogue on the subject of expanded gambling and it has even made the news. He said they were hopeful that in this process they have been very respectful of everyone's point of view. He stated gambling; was not an activity that they believe builds our community. He said they were thankful to the Commission and Penn Gaming for what has transpired and the fact that this request has been withdrawn. He thanked them for listening to the voice of the people. However, they know that Penn Gaming has set a strong interest in expanded gambling and that this interest may not have completely waned: To that end, they urge the Commission to continue to assist them in the stand against expanded gambling in our community, whether it comes before the voters of Longwood, tree voters of Seminole County, the Seminole County Commissioners., or the Longwood City Commission. He asked that they help them to vote :no to expanded gambling. Colleen Hufford, 527 Queens Mirror Circle, Casselberry, said she was an Elected Official of the City of Ca~;selberry and many of these decisions will affect their community. She stated she was also a Seminole County citizen and has a lot to talk about. She has been a community activist for fifteen (15) years. She said they made a lot of changes in Casselberry even before she was elected trying to give standards to their community. She stated most of them realize the ch~cnges that have happened in Casselberry due to the citizens taking over their community and bettering their community. She said she. was concerned about all the things the City was looking at, the direction they were going, and the impact it will have in Longwood as well as the community of Casselberry. She added that Jai Alai did approach each of their Commissioners about a year ago and wanted to be annexed in the City of Casselberry, because they knew that would be an area they could have ;;teat influence in because it was a CC 07•-20-09/395 smaller group of constituents. She affirmed that every one of their Commissioners said no to that and wanted to fall under the County Charter ~ and under the protection of the County and the citizens in their ' community. She stated she was very disappointed in Longwood's direction and feels they have opened a can of worms. She said she hoped that the Commission would not allow gaming in any fashion to be allowed in their jurisdiction. It will have a huge impact in the area, and speaking as a citizen of Casselberry, also in their area. Charlene Glancy, 210 Northeast Tiplet Drive, Mayor of Casselberry, said she was here this evening not to officially represent the City of Casselberry, but she was here as a citizen in the community. She stated even though the weekend event changed the Agenda for this evening, she was here to say that the fight against the expansion of gambling has not ended. She said she was here to speak on behalf of constituents and many residents she knows, not only in the City of Casselberry, but in Seminole County, that stand strongly and firmly with their grounding that they do not want any type of expansion of gambling anywhere in Seminole County. She stated that a study done by John Warren Kind, Professor of the University of Illinois, writes forty-one (41) pages of facts regarding the affects of gambling and she quoted several of these facts. Win Adams, 646 Fellowship Drive, Fern Park, said from 1994 to 1998 he was the Seminole County Commissioner for District 4. He stated he came _ here to give some facts as to what a Countywide election would cost if it were a special, non-scheduled election, would cost approximately $300,000. He said the one thing that concerned him about the referendum was. the way it was written on page 3 where it basically said "...may thereafter allow casino gambling, to the extent lawful under the Constitution and Laws of the State of Florida..." Mayor Bundy advised this was what the petition stated, and the referendum language would be drafted by the County. He reiterated this matter has been withdrawn from the Agenda and Penn Gaming has withdrawn their request. ' Mr. Adams read the title ofthe original ballot language that was prohibiting casino gambling in Seminole County without voter approval that was voted on in November 5, 1'996. He said there were 89,964 votes to prohibit the gambling and 21,073 votes to permit it. He stated he was one of the Commissioners heavily involved in writing this language. M. Carol Fildes, resident of Casselberry, said she realizes the Item was withdrawn, but sometimes things come back and she.would appreciate the opportunity for everyone to hear what she has to say. She said she sent an ~ electronic mail to each of the Commissioners and read this into the record asking the Commission to please vote against gambling and having a referendum go before the County. CC 07-20-09/396 Jeff Crandall, 668 Silver Birch F'lace, said he would like to start by saying ~ what a great Country we have to allow them to,come here and participate ~ in the community. He thanked the Commissioners for their time and serving for them. He stated he comes here with regards to the gambling expansion. When he lived in Detroit, he voted against gambling expansion there, but unfortunately, the State did pass and brought casinos to Detroit. He said he did not want to see this in his backyard. He stated he runs a business in town and will take h;is business elsewhere. 7. CONSENT AGENDA. A. Approve Minutes of the July 6, 2009 Regular 1Vleetng. B.

Commander Cohen responded in the affirmative. Ms. Powell said that per the Longwood City Code, Section 2-424, Application Fee Schedule, according to this Section .the fees to be charged are set forth in Appendix B. However, it states "...the City Commission may waive any application fee established by this. Section at.their discretion upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances." She stated this would involve involuntary or enclave annexation, or voluntary annexation. Therefore, the Commission is able to waive any fees associated with the annexation of this property. Mayor Bundy said he spoke with Mr. Donovan Roper regarding this and the hook is extraordinary circumstances. He indicated they were covered , because at the last meeting they modified the Ordinance. CC 07-20-09/398 ~ Commissioner Sackett said the extraordinary circumstances would have to be defined sooner or later. Mayor Bundy said they were proceeding with moving to put all fees into a resolution as a table, and at that time they need to put a definition in there or rather than "extraordinary circumstances" to place wording as such that the City Commission determines it is in the best interest of the City. Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote. 9. REGULAR BUSINESS. A.

He inquired if now that we ~ have Mr. Peters, City Engineer, c?n board we will .not be incurring these additional expenditures. Mr. Peters said his area of expertise was stormwater, transportation, planning, and utilities up to a point. He stated Barnes Fernland was one of the best firms around and he has worked with them in the past. Their specialty is working with St. Jolv~'s Water Management District and the Florida Department of Environmental and Protection on the permitting process. Commissioner Sackett said Section 6 talks about permitting and the City accepting all responsibility for of?taining these at the City's expense. He inquired if there was a framework of what those expenses would be. Mr. Peters said the amount of money in the budget has been based on past history. One of the things incumbent on him is to ensure we don't just call them up to work on something that doesn't need to be worked on. He affirmed that he has enough experience to tell them which alternative to go with and this would be where the City would save money. He stated in working through the budget process that they are able to save a tremendous amount of money in the upcoming budget, and hopefully they can save some money in the Barr.?es Fernland contract.

Commissioner Holt said the voters were not going to know what was left out or get the jest of what_was going on. He stated they would get a lot of no votes. If it is the full explanation, then it would make sense to the voter. He said with being limited to seventy five (75) words, this was the best they could do. Deputy Mayor Maingot said the proposed language had no meaning. Mayor Bundy said people would not read it closely enough to understand it. He inquired if this was. under the seventy five (75) words. Ms. Mirus said that was the language that would be on the ballot and it was less than seventy five (75) words. She said excerpts were taken from the City Charter from Section 4.04. Ms. Roper said the problem was, as the Clerk pointed out, they will not let you have more than seventy five (75) words.

Mayor Bundy said. if they can't do that, then they will need to amend the motion to include this language. He inquired if they want to leave it as proposed on the Agenda Item, or the revised Resolution. Ms. Roper said it was her under:;tanding the revised :Resolution was the one they were looking at tonight. Mayor Bundy said the motion was for the one that was presented.

To date, they have spent $22,727 on repair and maintenance and they have had some unexpected repairs that came to $8,257. He is requesting that the Blanket Purchase Order be increased by $8,500, not to exceed $35,500 to Ten-8 Fire Equipment. Deputy Mayor Maingot inquired if there was any other organization that could provide service in this area. Battalion Chief Hockenberry said they could go with Seminole County ~ Fleet Maintenance if they wish to and there was ETR, but they were not certified in working on fire pumps. Deputy Mayor Maingot inquired if at anytime have we inquired about any of these costs being given to us. He used the cost of an alternator as an example. Battalion Chief Hockenbenry said the alternator he was referring to was for the backup rescue, which there is no warranty on. He stated the type of alternator on this truck does originally cost $4,000, but it cost us $914 and it is guaranteed for three years. Discussion was held regarding unexpected repair costs.

Commissioner Holt said the problem we were facing was that there were too many people involved with the assembling.

Mayor Bundy reported the weekend prior to the 4`" of July and the last two weekends, the City of Altamonte Springs, City of Sanford, and the City of Longwood have hosted the various age brackets of Babe Ruth Baseball. He said he could not say enough about the maintenance staff and affirmed the ball fields were excellent. He affirmed that with the horrendous rainfall we had to delay games that thirty (30) minutes later they were playing ball. This speaks not only to the condition the. fields were put in immediately prior to the tournament, but it says a lot to the ongoing maintenance our staff does on a year round basis. On Friday evening, on~ behalf of the City of Longwood, he accepted a plaque from Babe Ruth Baseball in appreciation of our sponsorship of'the 2009 Tournament. He presented this plaque to Ms. Fran Meli, Recreation Program Manager and the Parks Maintenance employees.

Mayor Bundy said there have been discussions going on between the School Board-and the City ofCasselberry regarding the annexation of Milwee Middle ~ School. He stated there is a Meeting scheduled with Charlene Glancy, Barbara Lipscomb, Katrina Powell and himself on Friday to discuss this issue. Apparently, they are taking an aggressive.approach to this. He.said one of the things they have touted is the Interlocal Agreementwe signed with them in 2004. He distributed a Resolution he received by Dr, Bill Vogel by electronic mail touting this . Resolution saying Longwood was okay with this. He stated this. Resolution does not cover annexation on County Road 427 or Ronald Reagan Boulevard.. He affirmed the boundaries on this Agreement stop at the intersection of Dog Track Road and Ronald Reagan Boulevard and proceeds eastward to 17-92. He was told that they had gone so far as to indicate that they would shut the water off to Milwee Middle School if the School Board did not annex Milwee in. He declared the County was not happy with this development. Commissioner Sackett said as a City Commission, to give the Mayor support in this discussion. He believes their interpretation of this Resolution was not correct. Therefore, Milwee was not negotiable for Casselberry. Deputy Mayor Maingot suggested that immediately after their Meeting with Casselberry that they set up a Meeting immediately following with the Seminole County School Board. Mayor Bundy said there were seven parcels utilized in the construction of Milwee Middle .School and three of the parcels are already within the City of Longwood: ~ He stated he was still researching the matter. He said that prior to 2001; we had CC 07-20-09/404 boundary. maps that showed County Ro:~d 427.a11 the way to the railroad tracks within the city limits. It was the consensus of the City Commission to move forward with this Meeting. Mayor Bundy said Mr. DeNegre. inquired about the Pie n' Save property. He advised that he has not heard anything fbr approximately six weeks from them. Publix had represented it to their real estate committee, but they only meet twice in the summer. District #5. Commissioner Sackett reported he just returned from vacation. Sunday evening and saw our Mayor on television talking about Penn Gaming. He said with Penn Gaming pulling out, this was probably the time to look at updating the Adult Entertainment section of the City Code. He stated we did a moratorium a few months back and this timeline was running out. Mayor Bundy suggested we look at Internet Cafes and those types of things as a separate entity. He said we mirrored our Adult Entertainment Ordinance after the County's which has been vetted through the court process. He stated it has been challenged and he would be averse to changing it. Commissioner Sackett said he understar?ds that, but was only stating it was time to review it to see if it was appropriate. ' Mayor Bundy suggested the City Attorney do an initial review of this section of the Code. It was the consensus of the Commission to move forward with a review of the Adult Entertainment Section of the City Code. District #1. Deputy Mayor Maingot th~uiked Mayor Bundy for helping Commissioner Sackett move the consensus forward on the matter of Adult Entertainment. He said he looked.. forward to the Budget Work Session. .District #2. Commissioner Durso reported he met with Senator Lee Constantine last week before he left for the National Association of State Legislatures meeting.. Today, he had afollow-up conversation with Senator Constantine and he is fighting a good fight to keep SunRail alive. He asked if he could count on the Longwood City Commission and said he was pretty confident the money will be there in conjunction with the money from Washington. He also followed up with Senator Martinet's Regional Director who also said the Senator had some renewed hope that the Federal Government will be able to send the money. He said if this new deal with CSX works out in Tallahassee, we will hopefully have some positive economic development going on. ~ District #3. Commissioner Holt requested the laptop computers be checked out technically prior to being set up. CC 07-20-09/405 Commissioner Holt said a concerned citizen brought something to his attention and he would like to see if the Administrator could have staff look into the matter. He said if they would look at dumpsters that are near restaurants, one in particular ~ on Rangeline Road. He stated there are large carnivorous birds that like to hang out there in the mornings. He said if there.was someway to add to the language of the commercial solid waste contracts so that they disinfect the dumpsters when they empty them. 12. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT. No report.
