A. Public Participation.
Judi Coad 1695 Grange Circle, said she wishes the Commission
and staff to have a wonderful Thanksgiving. She said it's been
exactly sixty (60) days since she last spoke about the Barrington
front entrance. She stated the front entrance was worse off today
than it was sixty (60) days ago. She said the orange safety fence
that was along the back wall of the retention pond had been taken
down and as of today, the island was covered in the orange
retention fence. She noted there was no water or lights, there has
been thefts of what lights the City had put in and none of the road
debris that needed to come out before the City does irrigation and
rewiring, had been removed. She stated she was tired of getting
telephone calls from her neighbors because she said she would
come here and represent the subdivision. She said she appreciated
the Commission, supposedly in good faith, telling me that it was
going to be accomplished. She said they had a meeting and work
could have begun before that with the clearing of debris, because
all they discussed was planting. She noted the Holidays were upon
us, the road had been done for three (3) months and Barrington still
looks like a piece of crap. She said in fact, it was even unsafe to
pull in one day because debris was left out in the entrance. She
said she has come in angry but congenial, and has tried to work
with staff behind the scenes to get this work done. She said she
has worked with Barrington for over seven (7) years about the
issue of the front entrance and money was constantly going out the
door. She said she did not know where to go from here, and has
tried in good faith, but nothing seems to get accomplished. She
said she hopes to hear some feedback because she was so
frustrated and doesn't know what to tell her neighbors. She said
thankfully there was no election this year because everyone in the
neighborhood was very upset. She said twenty -one (21) months
was a long time for the residents to be waiting for a resolution.
She wished everyone a Happy Holiday.
CC 11 -21- 11/314
7. MAYOR AND C®MMISS>[ON ERS' REP®RT.
District 93. Commissioner Cortes reported on his recent trip to Chicago.
He said he had an opportunity to spend a week with forty (40) other City
officials from throughout the nation at the Northwestern University
Kellogg School for Business Management. He noted it was a very
interesting four (4) days. He said one of the things they were going to
benefit from right away was improvements to the City's Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR). He noted that he took a copy of the
City's CAFR and they were very impressed, but stated there's always
room to do a little bit better. He said that he also came out of there as a
better negotiator in crisis management and with a better understanding of
pension and tax reform. He noted this trip was at no cost to the City. He
stated the first Longwood Car Cruise -In event was a huge success and
wanted to thank everybody involved in making this happen. He said there
were over one - hundred (100) cars that attended and it was a great Saturday
night event. He said for the next event, he would like to add more door
prizes and would welcome any door prizes that his fellow Commissioners
can come up with from their contacts and vendors. He thanked everyone
for their warm wishes during his recent hospital stay. He also thanked
everyone for their support this past year as he served as the Deputy Mayor
and extended a Happy Holidays to all.
District 44. Deputy Mayor Bundy thanked staff for the good job they did
on the Cruise -In Car Show and said it was very nice. He, said in the future,
they were going to merge the Cruise -In Car Show in the month of March
with the Spring Fling that the Central Florida Society for Historical
Preservation (CFSHP) was going to sponsor, which would make two (2)
good events even better. He said he went from this event right into
preparation for the 35 Annual Arts & Crafts Festival that was put on by
the CFSHP. He stated staff did an outstanding job and ended up with
about the same number of booths as last year, and the good thing that he
saw was the people attending were spending money. He said the
participation level in the community has really come on very well. He
stated the money they make on the Festival probably constitutes eighty
five percent (85 %) of the revenues that the CFSHP gets. He said if they
combine all of the other things they do as fundraisers, it wouldn't have
covered the check they just wrote for the repairs at the Bradlee- McIntyre
House. He stated they appreciate the cooperation of the City. He said as
far as the Barrington entrance, he'd like to get an update from Mr. Peters.
Mr. Peters reported that to -date Palmer Electric Company has put in the
electrical that was necessary for the lighting on the island; and over the
weekend, Mr. Michael Bartz put in a substantial part of the irrigation
system. He said they discovered that someone had stolen a light fixture on
the island and they filed a police report. He said they were working with
Mr. Bartz in teens of getting the plant material purchased and installed.
He said they had a number of communications with Ms. Coad to keep her
inforined, and it was taking a while due to taking multiple steps in the
CC 11- 21- 11/315
process. He said they were moving forward and were down to the
landscaping element.
Deputy Mayor Bundy asked Mr. Peters what was his anticipated
completion date.
Mayor Durso asked that in addition to the completion date, he would like
to know what else had to be done.
Mr. Peters said that the sod work and the astro -landscaping needed to be
installed. He noted Mr. Bartz was scheduled to be off this week and he
indicated this afternoon that he was planning on being back on the job site
on December 8 He said they were trying to see if that date could be
expedited or get someone else to do it.
Deputy Mayor Bundy suggested that Mr. Peters contact Mr. Bartz in the
morning and if he cannot get this job completed by December gth, he
would suggest that if he cannot complete this job by Wednesday of the
next week, they needed to get someone else. He said if they get the plants,
they can get them installed.
Commissioner Maingot asked Mr. Peters if he had a Landscape Plan.
Mr. Peters responded in the affirmative.
Commissioner Maingot asked who was in charge of getting the plant
material.
Mr. Peters stated that Ms. Debbie Renfro, the Horticulture Specialist, was
working on getting the plant material.
Commissioner Maingot said that he would be more than happy to come
there and do the entire layout, and Mr. Peters' staff can do the installation
and Ms. Renfro can supervise. He noted the work could be done in a
maximum of two (2) days. He said that he would do this free of charge,
providing that they have the irrigation system up and running properly and
checked out according to the Plan.
Deputy Mayor Bundy requested that the timeframe be shortened and that
it be communicated to Mr. Bartz that he has forty -eight (48) hours to
complete that project or else they were going to take it over.
District #5. Commissioner Sackett responded to Ms. Coad's request to do
a tour of the parks. He noted that Deputy Mayor Bundy was not available
and that he knew that would happen next week, and just to give him a call.
He noted Ms. Coad was on the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board and
she wanted to become more aware. He said he passed out 700 trophies
last Wednesday to the ballplayers in the City. He noted it was the end of
CC 11 -21- 11/316
the fall season and afterwards they had a Turkey Trot in Winter Springs
and Longwood brought home some trophies from that event. He said Mr.
Warren Brown with Longwood Babe Ruth Baseball League of Seminole
County, Inc. wanted him to let the Commission know that he does have a
new speaker system and it works all the way over to the train tracks. He
said the Car Show was phenomenal and he would personally make a
donation of a door prize at the next event. He said the second largest bank
in the world, HSBC Bank USA, N.A., which has a main office in
Maitland, wanted to play softball somewhere and have their Thanksgiving
picnic. He said they wanted to do a holiday festival, and he had them
connect with the Recreation Program Coordinator, Mr. Chris Capizzi, and
they rented the pavilion and softball field and they said that the whole
seamlessness of how this happened was perfect. He thanked Ms. Meli and
her crew for making the connection to an outside group that had some
Longwood residents. He said the only problem was the City's signage to
Candyland Park was not good and they couldn't find it very well. He said
the Arts & Crafts Festival was a good thing and the weather was perfect.
He wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
District #]l. Commissioner Maingot said they just spoke about Barrington
and he was going to switch around his work schedule and make himself
available for the entire day of Monday, November 2g He said he needed
to have the Landscape Plan in his hands by Saturday afternoon, so he can
review it by Monday morning.
Mayor Durso moved to appoint Commissioner Maingot as the
point person to handle this particular part of the project. Seconded
by Deputy Mayor Bundy and carried by a unanimous voice vote.
Commissioner Maingot said that he wanted to thank Ms. Bower and her
team for that beautiful sign, but he would like to see the sign relocated to a
more affective location. He said he has driven up and down, and there
was no way that anyone can see that sign going in either direction. He
would like to suggest that the sign, after they got permission from the
owner, be relocated to the corner of Ronald Reagan Boulevard and State
Road 434. He suggested it go caddie- corner and set -back so that it doesn't
clash with the other stuff that was there, but high enough to get above it,
since they have a tremendous volume of traffic.
Commissioner Maingot moved to relocate the sign. Seconded by
Mayor Durso.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said his concern was how much it's going to cost to
relocate the sign. He said perhaps a better location would be on the
opposite corner, on the Walgreen's corner, because Seminole County
owns that property.
CC 11 -21- 11/317
Mayor Durso moved to amend, to include in Commissioner
Maingot's motion to reflect the comments of Deputy Mayor Bundy
that they ask the City Administrator to bring forth at the next
meeting the estimated cost of lighting it, moving it and whether or
not they have permission granted from the property owners.
Seconded by Deputy Mayor Bundy and carried by a unanimous
voice vote.
Main motion to relocate the sign was approved by a unanimous
roll call vote.
Commissioner Maingot said on Wednesday, November 9 the Wekiva
River System Management Advisory Committee met and most of their
discussions were comments from the Federal agencies with regards to the
plans being developed over the past three (3) years and the sign for the
System. He showed an example of the ,sign and said they were having a
tremendous amount of opposition to try and get them to agree to locations
and sizes of the letters. He said he just received an electronic mail this
evening for a possible meeting in Tallahassee.
Mayor Durso asked if there was any discussion on the Wekiva Parkway.
Commissioner Maingot responded in the affirmative, in terms of the
funding and environmental impact on the environment. He said Friday,
November l I was Veteran's Day and he attended the Ceremony at
Seminole State College. He said on Tuesday, November 15 he attended
the Joint Board of Comity Commissioners and City Mayors dealing with
matters relative to SunRail, and unfortunately, Mayor Durso was detained
in route there so he took some specific notes. He said the cities would be
responsible for the security at their stations. He noted the Sanford Station
was going to get their platform first. He said he would say out of the four
(4) stations in Seminole County, Sanford and Altamonte Springs were for
all intents and purposes, located in the City; but there was no real City
involvement. He said it was more the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT). He noted the two (2) real ones were Lake Mary
and Longwood, where the City was much involved in the development
and the Transit Oriented Development (TOD). He noted a travel pass was
being developed for use on all associated sectors for travel, being for Lynx
the shuttle buses and/or SunRail. He said the Lynx proposed operating
frequency along State Road 434 through the City's station and the peak
time would be every thirty (30.) minutes and the off times were every sixty
(60) minutes. He said FDOT estimated contractual commitment in terms
of operating costs annually, was about $20 million per year. He said for
the TOD and other developments presented, the biggest challenge facing
the City was the actual funding. He congratulated Ms. Bower for her
presentation. He said on November 15 he attended the inaugural of
United Legacy Bank located in Longwood. He said he was advised today
that on December 19 the nominations for the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
CC 11- 21- 11/318
Good Citizenship Award comes up, however, in the interest of avoiding
duplication, he wanted his colleagues to know that he would be
nominating Pastor Norweida Maxwell. He said this year would be the
twelfth (12) year for the Longwood Caroling Group. He said they will
gather at 12:30 p.m. on December 3 rd and eveiyone was welcome to join
them.
District #2. Mayor Durso said he has a couple of issues that he would like
to bring forward referencing the meeting between Seminole County and
the cities in regards to SunRail. He stated that he wanted to assure the
citizens who pay attention to these things that they were working
diligently to make sure that the Longwood Station not only contributes to
the economic development of the City, but that it was handled in a very
responsible way. He said they recognize that transportation issues
specifically can make or break the suceess of the Sun-Rail Station and one
of the questions that Commissioner Maingot referenced was how much
input the City of Longwood would have with Lynx to determine the
circular routes through the City. He said if they have the train coming
through town every fifteen (15) or twenty (20) minutes, but if they can't
get there and they can't get back to wherever they're coming from,
whether it's a neighborhood or a shopping plaza, it really was not going to
work and was destined to fail. He stated that he wanted to assure the
citizens of Longwood that they were really working diligently to make
sure that this works properly. He said whether you were for it or against
it, it was coming, so it was their job as elected officials to make sure it
works efficiently for the people that were paying for it.
Mayor Durso said he did have some questions in regards to some things he
was hearing about from the community. He then inquired about the
Stormwater Master Plan and requested an update on any of the activities
that were taking place related to the Plan.
Mr. Peters said he met with Mr. Craig Teague with Pegasus Engineering,
LLC and three (3) members of the St. John's River Water Management
District staff last Thursday to go over five (5) specific areas of concern to
see what kind of pennitting would be required so they would be able to
bring forward the final engineering proposals. He then listed those areas
in detail.
Mayor Durso asked he can assume that he was targeting the areas that
showed in the overall report as the highest risk areas, and that they were
doing those first.
Mr. Peters responded stating they were projects that were identified before
they completed the Master Plan, but they were all identified in the Master
Plan as being needed.
Mayor Durso asked if they were addressing those first.
CC 11 -21- 11/319
Mr. Peters responded in the affirmative.
Mayor Durso said in regards to the lakes, he was hearing a lot of push
back from the residents that live around the lakes and inquired what was
going on because the residents were starting to call again.
Mr. Peters said he wasn't sure because they haven't gotten any calls. He
said he would appreciate being advised as to who complains, so they can
get with them and see what they needed to do.
Mayor Durso asked if they were still actively addressing any of the lake
issues.
Mr. Peters responded in the affirmative. He said they do aquatic
maintenance every Tuesday and Thursday during the week, weather
permitting. He said they have been working on a number of lakes, so he
was surprised that you have received complaints.
Mayor Durso said there were a number of residents specifically relating to
Lake Wildmere, that were saying they would take their boats out into the
middle of the lake and plants were growing fifteen (15') feet tall and it
was touching the surface and people were having trouble with their boats
and fishing. He asked that he have someone from Public Works get out
there and take a look and see what we need to do.
Mr. Peters said he would follow -up on this tomorrow.
Commissioner Maingot asked when they were out there to have them
check on the level of carp.
Mr. Peters said he doesn't believe there was carp out there now. He said
they have been treating it chemically because they have not been able to
get a permit from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWCC).
Mayor Durso said, with regard to the Florida League of Cities (FLC)
Conferences, the League had their Legislative meetings this week. He
said the Legislative Action Agenda would be coming out in the near
future. He said the committees and Legislative Committee voted on ten
(10) policies that would cover the entire State. One of particular
importance, that he wanted to make the Commission aware of, and
encouraged the Commission to reach out to the City's local elected State
delegation and referred to the pending ordinance doctrine. He said this
basically allows cities to control development in preventing unintended
consequences and continued to explain the permit process. He said there
were some legal issues that he was quite sure the City Attorney could
address, but noted there would be a white paper coming out from the FLC
and he asked that everyone read it and reach out to our legislative
CC 11 -21- 11/320
delegation, because it was not about being for or against development, it
was about local control and home rule and the ability to be able to control
what happens in our own cities as duly elected officials.
Commissioner Maingot asked if there's a sponsor.
Mayor Durso responded in the negative. He stated what has happened in
the past few years, a number of issues that have been pushed out of
Legislative Committee and what they were doing at the last minute was
that Legislatures were filing amendments, so there was no sponsor, but
there doesn't necessarily have to be.
Mayor Durso said in regards to the vendor issues, he feels they need to
have some kind of established process so when vendors let us down, the
City drops them. He said it was to a point now, where he thinks they were
using and reusing vendors that have stuck it to the City, whether it's on
time lines or financially. He said he thinks they need to be more
cognizant, not the Commission, but staff needs to be more cognizant of
choosing vendors that were responsible, both on time and on budget.
Commissioner Maingot said he brought it up some months ago with
regard to people responsible for the construction of the new Public Works
Facility and noted they had dropped down on that job really badly. He
said when he asked about it, it was something to do with the way in which
the City's paperwork was designed, and the City was caught between a
rock and hard place. He said at that time he requested they revisit the
City's forms to make sure that gave us the opportunity, so they didn't have
to put it out to bid a second time, and that they could take the next person
in line and go forward.
Mayor Durso requested that at the next meeting, he would like to revisit
that as an agenda item, and asked Mr. Williams to get a formal policy in
place so they can move in that direction.
Mr. Williams said that from a policy development standpoint that may
extend beyond the next meeting.
Mayor Durso wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving to all of our citizens
and staff. He thanked staff for everything they do and said they really do
appreciate it.

located outside the City of Longwood as an accessory use to an
existing funeral home.
Mr. Langley announced having proof of publication for this and all
Public Hearings listed on the Agenda. He then announced this was

present testimony be sworn-in.
Mayor Durso opened the public hearing. No one spoke in favor or
in opposition to the Item.
Commissioner Maingot moved to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Commissioner Sackett and carried by a
unanimous voice vote.
Commissioner Maingot moved to approve the Conditional -
Use (CU 01 -11) presented Item 10 A subject to the
conditions that were under the recommendations on the
following page. Seconded by Commissioner Cortes.
CC 11- 21- 11/322
Deputy Mayor Bundy said that with crematories there were
situations that create environmental standards and they were
heavily regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP) as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He
said he would like to propose an additional condition that if
Collision received two (2) action items by the DEP or the EPA as
far as the facility not meeting air quality standards and operational
standards, they would have to cease and desist until they appear
before the Commission and give them a plan as to how they were
going to permanently fix the problem.
Deputy Mayor Bundy moved as a supplemental condition
that upon receiving two (2) corrective action items
necessary from the DEP that they cease and desist
operation until appearing before the City Commission with
a long -term plan to make sure they were going to comply
with it. Seconded by Commissioner Sackett.
Kristopher M. Cruzada Attorney with NeJame LaFay Jancha
Ahmed Barker Joshi & Moreno, P.A. and representative for the
Applicant, 189 South Orange Avenue, Suite 1800, Orlando, 32801,
inquired if there was a time period that they were looking for that
they would have to notify the City once the corrective action was
issued. He asked it would be thirty (30) or sixty (60) days to notify
the Commission to get before the Commission.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said it would be at their earliest
convenience.
Mayor Durso recommended that within thirty (30) days of receipt
of the correction action from the DEP, they would have to notify
the Commission and they would have to come before the
Commission within sixty (60) days.
Mr. Cruzada said the other issue was the time period, and inquired
if it was two (2) within five (5) years or two (2) within ten (10)
years.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said two (2) within five (5) years.
Deputy Mayor Bundy moved to amend, to include that if
Collision received a corrective action from the State of
Florida, two (2) within five (5) years they needed to notify
the Commission within thirty (30) days and come before
the Commission within sixty (60) days with a plan to
address that corrective action. Seconded by Commissioner
Sackett.
CC 11 -21- 11/323
Discussion was held regarding if a conditional -use permit could be
revolted if not in compliance.
Mr. Cruzada said his concern was that they were not confusing
between operations ceasing versus the Conditional -Use ceasing.
He said he wanted to make it very clear that they were given an
opportunity to address the corrective action plan per Deputy Mayor
Bundy's request.
Mayor Durso said for the record they were not talking about
general operations, but they were talking specifically about the
Conditional -Use. He then summarized that if Collision gets a
corrective action from the State of Florida, they would have to
notify the Commission within thirty (30) days, they would have to
come before the Commission within sixty (60) days with a plan to
address that corrective action. He said if Collision gets a second
corrective action within five (5) years, again Collision would have
to notify the Commission within thirty (30) days and come before
the Commission within sixty (60) days with a plan for corrective
action. He said after Collision receives the second corrective
action, they would have to cease use under the Conditional -Use
Permit until they come before the Commission and straighten it
out.
Ms. Bower said she just wanted to be clear, because they have to
write the Development Order. She stated after the second one,
they do not have to cease the crematory operation; they only have
to cease bringing in bodies.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said the portion that was applicable to this
Conditional -Use was not the original.
Mr. Cruzada asked if they could limit it to just the emission
pollution.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said two (2) corrective actions from either
,State or Federal regulatory agencies were needed.
Ms. Bower said they have not issued a permit yet for the
crematory.
Mayor Durso asked Deputy Mayor Bundy if he would be in
agreement to increasing it to three (3).
Deputy Mayor Bundy said he would not have a problem increasing
it to three (3) within five (5) years.
CC 11- 21- 11/324
Deputy Mayor Bundy updated his amended motion to make
it three (3) corrective actions within five (5) years.
Seconded by Commissioner Sackett.
