he giving a presentation on behalf of their efforts for the

Lynn Whitcomb Communications Co -Chair for the Children's
Cabinet of Seminole County, thanked the Commission for all they
do on behalf of children. She presented a Power Point presentation
that was entitled "Advocating for Seminole County's Children
2012 ". She outlined the following for the Children's Cabinet of
Seminole County: vision, members, what they have done,
Intervention Services, Inc.- The Village, Family Connections,
Pathways to Home, Families and Communities Together -
Seminole County's System of Care for Children's Mental Health,
current priorities how they can help, meetings, etc.
Commissioner Durso thanked her and said he has worked very
closely with this group and appreciated all the work her group does
on behalf of all children.
B. Public Participation.
Bobbie Corbitt 730 South Oak Street, thanked the City for doing
the work that was partially done, and said she still needed some
sod for proper drainage to be installed, and inquired as to when the
boat ramp would be completed.
Mr. Williams stated Mr. Peters was overseeing the project and
could provide the timeline of completion for the boat ramp.
Mr. Peters said the completion of the sod and the concrete for the
boat ramp should be done within two (2) weeks. He stated all of
the material had been ordered and it was just a matter of putting it
in place.
CC 05 -07- 12/111
Mayor Sackett asked Ms. Corbitt if this information answered her
questions.
Ms. Corbitt responded in the affirmative. She thanked staff for
putting the lock on the gates and said this has kept the
neighborhood children away from the lake. She stated there was
the matter of the irrigation and the water that comes across her
front yard. She said there was a problem with some of the streets
around there and feels there should be grading for those streets and
install proper drainage for them. She said it has affected her septic
system to where she cannot use her washer and dryer with a heavy
rainfall and has to go to a Laundromat.
Mayor Sackett asked Mr. Williams if they could look into the
matter.
Paul Lovestrand 500 Preston Road, said he manages the
Fairmount Plaza located at 600 North US Highway 17/92. He said
about one (1) year ago, Freddie from Freddie's Backyard Barbeque
had a trailer that had barbeque beef, chicken, and pork, and he
came to him to ask if he could use his parking lot. He stated he
agreed and had electricity available for him, which Freddie paid
him for and gave him $30 a month for the parking space. He said
he increased the business of the shopping center by having cars
pull in and give exposure to the businesses there. He said he
provided a living for himself and helped people who were driving
and provided a convenience for them. He said it benefitted
everyone. He said unfortunately Freddie had to give up his
location due to getting sick. He said another person came to him to
put a snow cone trailer in the same place, and this person went to
City Hall to get a Peddler's Permit and found out the City
Commission had eliminated all Peddlers from the City. He said he
feels that it was a bad move, and said the City Commission should
be more pro - active in helping business instead of hindering
business. He said they needed to watch what the Planning
Division does when they rewrite these laws and asked them to
reconsider it. He said he feels they made a mistake here.
Commissioner Durso asked Mr. Lovestrand what restrictions he
would suggest to be placed on Peddlers.
Mr. Lovestrand replied to keep Peddlers out of the right -of -way,
but not when they were on private property, and doing their
business and not hurting anybody. He said they threw the baby out
with the bathwater. He said, if they got .a Home Depot in
Longwood, they could not have their hot dog stand out front.

7. MAYORS AND COMMISSION ERS' RE PORT.
District #4. Deputy Mayor Bundy said they were all present for the Work
Session regarding the Historic District and the connection with the Transit
Orientated Development (TOD). He said there was a really good turnout,
and one of the things that came up was relocating City Hall, selling the
properties and maybe building a new City Hall. He said one of the first
things that may need to be done to stimulate anything to be done in the
Historic District was if a developer came along tomorrow and offered to
build a new City Hall in exchange for land or whatever, it would be six (6)
months before they could say "yes" or "no" because they have not done
any space needs studies or any planning whatsoever, or looked at potential
options that they have. He said they needed to have these discussions at
the staff level and space needs studies for possible options. He said it was
going to be a City Hall only facility, or a City Hall and a Police and Fire
Administration Building. He stated it had been talked about several times
about buying the Hotel. He said they do not know if it would meet their
needs or what the structure was like. He suggested having a commercial
realtor start looking at potential partners for it, or to help us with options.
He said that government moves very slow, and they needed to take a more
proactive approach. He said he would like to get a consensus of the
Commission to have staff move forward and do a preliminary study.
Mayor Sackett said he would like to add that on the Historic District has
had the wayfinding signage and those things going on, and asked the
Deputy Mayor if he would like to be the go -to person if they have
questions about what he just addressed.
Deputy Mayor Bundy responded in the affirmative. He said they have
some synergy going on and people were beginning to say "what if'. He
said there was a little buzz going on now with what the City had started to
do with the wayfinding and with the Work Session they just had, and he
does not want to lose it. He stated it was easier to keep it going than it
was to try to start it back up again.
Mayor Sackett said the consensus would be to encourage the
Administration to move forward with that design plan that was given to
them relative to the City Hall property.
Deputy Mayor Bundy responded in the affirmative. He said it would be to
start the exploring of what their options were. He said they needed to
know what the market value for this property was and for all of them, but
to keep the options open and bring different scenarios.
Mayor Sackett asked Mr. Williams if that was something his team could
do.
CC 05 -07- 12/113
Mr. Williams said certainly, they could move forward on this. He asked
for point of clarification. He asked if the only option was to consider
keeping City Hall and the Municipal Complex in the Historic District, or
do they want to expand that process out a little further.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said there were a couple of properties that were
available outside of it, but they would either want it in the District or, if
there was a parcel directly adjacent to it. He said probably about sixty five
(65 %) percent of the traffic that comes through the District was generated
by people coming into City Hall to pay their water bill, meetings, etc. He
said he does not want to lose those kinds of things and the vibrancy of it,
but he does not want to say "no" to any possibilities. He said it needed to
be part of the central core of Downtown.
Mayor Sackett said his understanding of the energy of the Work Session
Meeting was that people were expecting the City business to stay within
the Historic District. He told Mr. Williams to keep it within the
neighborhood.
Commissioner Maingot said it was important to get the research done and
have options, and then present it to them and they would make the final
decision as to exactly what they would do. He said they needed to be
given some form of update as things move forward, so they could have the
option of their input of how they were proceeding.
Mayor Sackett said it should be a continual conversation.
Mayor Sackett called for a consensus on what Deputy Mayor Bundy
talked about in terms of energizing staff to look at what to do with City
Hall.
It was a consensus of the Commission to have staff research all the options
for City Hall.
District #5o No report.
District #1. Commissioner Maingot extended congratulations to Mayor
Sackett. He said on May 2 he attended the Council of Local
Governments in Seminole County (CALNO) Meeting that was hosted by
the City of Oviedo and they had a tour of their Employee Wellness Center.
He noted it cost them about $200,000 to set -up the equipment. He said
they presented Families and Communities Together- Seminole County's
System of Care for Children's Mental Health. He said on April 27 and
28 he attended the Advanced Institute for Elected Municipal Officials
(IEMO). He said on April 27 the Director of the John Scott Daily
Institute for Government, Ms. Marilyn Crotty gave a presentation on how
to be an effective council member. He said during lunch, Ms. Cathy Till
with the Florida League of Cities (FLC) spoke, and another speaker from
CC 05 -07- 12/114
FLC spoke also, along with two (2) other speakers, who were very
interesting.
District #2. Commissioner Durso extended his congratulations to Mayor
Sackett, and thanked the Commission for the opportunity to have served as
Mayor this past year.
District #3. Commissioner Cortes extended his congratulations to Mayor
Sackett and thanked Commissioner Durso for his service as Mayor.
8. ANY ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA.

Mayor Sackett said since it was outfall of water from Island Lake
North, and as he lived on that swamp for years, and the property
. would benefit from a nicer looking Lake being there from what the
ite was going to do and he said he would abstain from voting on
this.

CC 05 -07- 12/115
Discussion was held regarding Item 9 D.
Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote with Mayor
Sackett abstaining.
10. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
A. ]Read by title only and adopt Ordinance No. 12- 11990, which
calls for a referendum to be held on November 6, 2012,
requesting voter approval of a proposed amendment to the
City Charter, Section 6.10(b) amending such provision to
require voter approval by referendum to authorize the
issuance of debt secured by a pledge of Ad Valorem Taxation
for the purpose of construction .of any capital improvement or
lease or purchase of real property, the maturity which exceeds
twelve (12) months after issuance.
Mr. Langley announced having proof of publication for this Item.
He then read Ordinance No. 12 -1990 by title only.
Mayor Sackett opened the public hearing. No one spoke in favor
or in opposition to the Ordinance.
Commissioner Maingot moved to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Commissioner Cortes and carried by a
unanimous roll call vote.
Commissioner Maingot moved to approve Ordinance No.
12 -1990 as presented Item 10A. Seconded by
Commissioner Cortes.
Commissioner Maingot asked Mr. Williams what were the
anticipated checks and balances on the assumption of debt.
Mr. Williams said if the amendment was approved, they would
mirror that as a State Statute, and the checks and balances for the
issuance of debt was ultimately going to be either the City
Commission, or if they were going to pledge ad valorem taxes,
it would require a referendum. He said the voters would still have
a say in the issuance of that debt and provided examples.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said for some history on it, back in the late
1980's or 1990's when this was changed, the original Charter
stated in compliance with State Statutes, if they were attaching ad
valorem taxes or pledging those as collateral, they would have to
do a Referendum. He said that was in the State Constitution. He
said it would still have to be that way, but what this will do was
free them up and they would have to do cash options because if it
CC 05 -07- 12/116
went beyond that, they were having to do lease options, which was
not allowing them to negotiate the best deal on equipment
purchases. He said this would take that away as long as they were
not pledging ad valorem taxes.
Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
fll.
REGULAR BUSINESS.
A. City Commission discussion on certain issues pertaining to the
construction of fences and Code restrictions.
Mr. Kintner said this Item was related to a fence issue where there
was a fence installed in a unique manner because there was an
existing fence that had exposed structural supports facing out,
which was not in compliance with the current Code. He said a new
fence was put up by the property owner with most of the property
being in compliance with the Code, except for the section of
property that goes along the fence facing incorrectly. He said the
new fence was also placed incorrectly, which the pictures that were
enclosed in the packet will show why that occurred. He said the
Applicant had two (2) different options on how to address this
situation and in the Agreement before them, it says the situation
can remain in its existing condition where the finished side of the
fence remains facing inward on both properties at 960 Alameda
Drive and 1021 Huntington Court until such time as those fences
were removed or replaced, at which time they would have to be
brought into compliance with whatever the Code would be at the
time. He said they left some provisions in there because a few
meetings back, the Commission had asked them to address issues
regarding finished sides of fences, so they left leeway in there as
well.
Mayor Sackett asked when the older fence falls down, was that
fence going to stay down until fifteen (15) years later when the
other fence shows its age.
Mr. Kintner said under the terms of the Agreement, if the older
fence comes down for one reason or another, they would have to
put it back up to whatever the Code would be at the time. He said
if that happened soon, it would have to have the finished side
facing the outside from the property, and also, they have been
discussing some Code changes,for further down the line that may
change how we look at the exposed structural supports part of the
Code. He stated they would have to meet whatever the Code
would be at that given time.
Commissioner Durso asked if both parties were in agreement with
it all.
CC 05 -07- 12/117
Mr. Kintner said he spoke with both of them today and everything
was fine.
Mayor Sackett moved to approve the Fence Conformity
Agreement as presented. Seconded by Commissioner
Durso and carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said there was absolutely no way when they
were writing Codes or when staff was bringing revisions and
changes that they can possibly foresee an incident like this. He
stated there were many things that do not fall within the Ordinance.
He said they allow staff some flexibility, and the waivers, but there
were some things like this that kind of deal with policy versus the
cut and dry portion of that. He said what he would like to see was
maybe have staff put in a provision in the Longwood Development
Code to have a Waiver Committee, comprised of the City
Administrator, the Community Service Director, the District
Commissioner, so when these types of issues come up from the
technical aspect of it they would have the staff, and the
Administrator could get information from any other department he
feels was necessary. He said from the policy review side of it, they
would have a Commissioner to look at it. He said things like this
should never reach the level of having to come to a City
Commission meeting. He said he understands staff had to do it
this way because of the Code. He said they should have enough
flexibility without staff having to go through the whole, full -blown
variance process. He said a variance was something that goes
against the intended Code, but may be allowed anyway. He said a
waiver meets with the intended Code, plus with a Commissioner
involved, it gets staff out from between a rock and a hard place. He
said you would have somebody that understands the policy and
what the legislative intent was. He stated he would like to propose
to have the Administrator come up with something with the
Attorney for this. He said then, they would know how to deal with
these at a Commission level for something as minor as this.
Commissioner Durso said he agreed with Deputy Mayor Bundy on
this. He said there was a huge difference between intent and
implementation. He said the intent of the vast majority of the
Codes was to protect homeowners through security or protection of
their property value. He stated basically, it was to keep people
from putting cars up on blocks in their driveway all over the
neighborhoods. He said when he saw this; he was amazed it would
even come to them. He said the intent of the Codes was to keep
the neighborhoods looking good, and if they star 'L approving things
that go against that intent, the neighbors were going to let them
know about it. He stated he was in total agreement with this.
CC 05- 07- 12/118
Mayor Sackett asked Mr. Williams if this was something he could
get together in the next month.
Mr. Williams said he understands the direction that the
Commission wants him to go. He said he would get together with
Community Development staff and Mr. Langley to look at drafting
and developing a policy that satisfies the Commission.
Deputy Mayor Bundy moved for a consensus to move
forward with a Waiver Committee. Seconded by
Commissioner Durso.
Mr. Langley said if they put the Administrator and the, Community
Development Services Director on a committee that was making
decisions, they may be subject to a Sunshine Law situation and
they not want that with an Administrator who supervises a
Director. He said the Committee was a good idea, but they need to
figure it out.
Commissioner Durso said they could easily pick a day or two
where these issues were specifically dealt with in a public forum,
where each of them would come at the appropriate time to hear
their District's concern/issue, and they could have a public meeting
over the course of an afternoon.
Commissioner Maingot said he agrees with Commissioner Durso's
recommendation that they could get them together and have a
public hearing on it.
Mr. Langley said another way of dealing with this would be to
appoint the Community Development Services Director or the City
Administrator to initially make those decisions, and make those
decisions appealable to the Commission. He said that way they
would have one (1) person making the initial decision, and then it
would be subject to an appeal.
Deputy Mayor Bundy stated he talked with the Community
Development Services Director, who said she was glad they were
bringing it to the Commission because sometimes in a situation
like this, if staff makes a decision and it gets appealed to the
Commission, staff might get their head handed to them. He said
with a Commissioner involved, that was less likely to happen.
Mayor Sackett said, on the consensus, they have an understanding
the Attorney will meet with the Administrator to move something
I
orward that addresses these concerns.
The consensus was approved by a unanimous voice vote.
CC 05 -07- 12/119
B. Read by title only and adopt Resolution No. 12- 11308, providing for
a Business Tax Amnesty Program which forgives taxpayers who
pay certain past due business taxes from liability for remaining
past due business taxes, interest, and civil and criminal penalties.
Mr. Langley read Resolution No. 12 -1308 by title only.
Commissioner Cortes moved to accept the reading and
adopt Resolution No. 12 -1308 as presented Item No. 11 B.
Seconded by Deputy Mayor Bundy.
Ms. Pugh said the Resolution was to provide businesses that have not
renewed their Business Tax Receipt an Amnesty Program between
July 1St and October 1 St to come into their Division to apply for an
amnesty that would allow them to pay for their Business Tax Receipt
for their past due and for their current, without any type of penalties or
criminal penalties.
Mayor Sackett asked if this was something new for them.
Ms. Pugh said it was the first time they have done an Amnesty
Program. She said they based the model on Coral Springs, who also
had the same Program, and Sanford and Casselberry were also going
to be starting an Amnesty Program.
Mayor Sackett asked how the Program went for Coral Springs.
Ms. Pugh said they have done the Program three (3) or four (4) times,
and it has been very successful in their City.
Commissioner Maingot asked as a result of that what the most
important thing was.
Ms. Pugh said additional revenue for the City.
Commissioner Cortes said this came about because he had several
businesses in the City that he found out had some issues exactly like
this and they were trying to figure out a way of how to get them in
compliance. He said because of the economy, a lot of businesses did
not pay their tax receipts and a lot of new businesses did not apply for
it. He said when they got on their feet and applied for their tax
receipts, they found out they would have to pay for the back taxes. He
said he spoke with the City Administrator and suggested an Amnesty
Program, which was presented to them today.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said he thinks it would be a great Program and it
possibly could work. He suggested that they amend this by saying no
CC 05 -07- 12/120
business that receives amnesty was ineligible for amnesty for a five (5)
year period.
Mr. Langley said there was a limited time period on this particular
Resolution.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said even though there was a date certain on
this, he wanted to make sure anybody that participates in it this year
was not allowed to participate if they do it a couple of years from now.
Deputy Mayor Bundy moved to amend the Amnesty
Resolution to prohibit anyone who participates in it from
participating within five (5) years. Seconded by
Commissioner Maingot.
Mr. Langley stated they could draft language before it was executed by
the Mayor.
Commissioner Cortes said he did not have a problem with it. He said
this was their first time with this and they do not know if they would
come back with it next year. He said if it was successful, he does not
see why not, but he sees the need to have this.
Motion to amend carried by a unanimous roll call vote.
Main motion, as amended, carried by a unanimous roll call
vote.
