C. P>IJBL IC I NPUT.
A. Presentations. Kathy Till, Presidewl of Kathy Till &
Associates, Inc. will be giving a presentation on projects the
Florida League of Cities Inc. is worldng on regarding
advocacy.
Kathy Till, President of Kathy Till & Associates, Inc., 1209 Errol
Parkway, Apopka,, said she was here on behalf of the FLC to talk
about some projects coming forward in 2012 as they relate to
advocacy. She said as a former City Commissioner of Apopka,
she had spent a lot of time in Tallahassee working with the staff
and the Legislators focused on advocacy. She said in March 2012,
she chose not to run for re- election and became a consultant with
the FLC. She stated her responsibility was to work specifically
with her former colleagues in the Central Florida region to help
build and strengthen the relationship between our State and local
officials. She said she had packets that she would leave with the
Commissioners. She wanted to recognize Deputy Mayor Bundy
who she was with two (2) weeks ago and had an excellent
conversation about advocacy and hopes to have that same
opportunity with the rest of the Commission, so they can really
design advocacy that works for them. She said in advocacy,
success was three (3) words — relationships, relationships,
relationships and that was what advocacy really was. She said it
was building those relationships between our State and local
officials to ensure that our State officials were fully aware of the
consequences of their actions, whether they were positive or
negative. She said they have a real opportunity right now to focus
on advocacy for a variety of reasons. She said number one was
CC 0604- 12/142
they obviously have brand new Districts throughout the State and
believed the City of Longwood would be getting a new State
Representative and maybe a State Senator, so she said they have a_
real opportunity to reach out to these individuals and start building
a relationship with them. She said from speaking with the current
incumbents iin Tallahassee, they were very eager to meet them.
She said they have said they were very interested in speaking to the
local elected officials because not only do they want to get to know
them, but they know a lot of people within the community they
were going to want and need their support. She encouraged
everyone to take some time to talk with them and find out what
some of their positions were on key and local issues. She said
advocacy made a huge difference in Tallahassee during the 2012
Session. She said often they hear the legislators have made up their
minds and were not listening to them and do not care what thcy�
have to say, but she said she would dispute that because she saw
their efforts made a difference during the Session this past year.
She said in particular, as it relates to the local business tax. She
stated there was an attempt to completely repeal the local business
tax revenue, which would have had a significant impact on all of
our cities in Florida. She said because of their advocacy efforts
and the efforts of elected officials throughout the State, they were
able to hold the consequences of that repealer down to one (1)
special interest group, so the impact locally was considerably less
than it would have been otherwise. She said as a_ word of caution.,
there was no question there would be other special interest groups
that would be making an attempt to be exempted from local
business tax receipts in the upcoming session, so they needed to
remain diligent on that particular issue. She said their efforts on
that were very successful and she thanked everyone for the
outreach they did with their State legislators on that issue. She
said she would be leaving a packet of information that she calls
their "Advocacy Plamier ". She said this was the tip of the iceberg
of what they would see coming from the FLC this year. She said it
was a quick checklist of advocacy ideas and strategies that they
could be doing right now. She said the most effective advocacy
was done before and after Session. She said it was not done during
the sixty (60) days in Tallahassee. She said the Legislators
repeatedly tell them they have more time when at home in the
District, and can sit down and talk with their local folks, so she
hopes that was being taken advantage o£ She said her role was to
help with that and design an advocacy plan that works :for them.
She said there was something everyone can do whether it was
sending an electronic mail, making a telephone call, acting as a
resource for the Legislators or the Legislative staff. She stated
whatever that was, her role was to design something so that
everyone could play a part in advocating with their Legislators.
She said some things she would be doing were in the Tri- Co vh2ty
CC 06-04-12/143
region and the Tri- County League of Cities agreed to host three
(3) candidate forums and that would be after the August 14, 2012
Primary Election. She said they would host one (1) in Orange,
Osceola, and in Seminole Counties, and would encompass all of
the candidates that were successful in the Primary Election, so they
.. - would probably see a democrat and a Republican and tnay�e
someone from another party participate in that forum. She stated
the forums were designed to give them an opportunity to meet with
the candidates, talk with them, and hear publically what they have
to say about issues that were affecting municipalities. She said
they have letters ready to go out as soon as qualification ends,
which was this Friday at noon. She said they would be sending out
letters to all candidates if they have qualified, letting them know if
they were the candidate of choice of their party, and that they
would be invited to participate in these forums when they begin
those in August. She said another thing they were doing was at
their Conference that was coming up on August 23` -25` in
Hollywood, Florida, they were going to have a one (1) hour
advocacy work shop. She said it was designed to go very in depth
with all different types of strategies from how to effectively
communicate with their Legislators, giving examples of electronic
mails and Op -Eds, etc. She said they would provide them with an
advocacy guide and would offer advocacy training for elected
officials and staff prior to the Session, and they can contact her if
they were interested. She said they will start putting advocacy tips
on the FLC website, w cities. com and it was a quick tip that
says this was something they could be doing right now. She stated
she hopes they would take advantage of all of those tips. She said
Commissioner Durso did an excellent job of Chairing the Growth
Management and Transportation Policy Committee this last year.
She said they were about to start recruiting members for their
different policy committees, and they would see some changes in
the structure of those committees, and they would see them be very
proactive in moving forward. She said they will delve down into
the key issues cities were facing and hopes they will take
advantage to serve on some policy committees. She noted
qualification for State office ends on Friday at noon, so after that,
they would know who their qualified candidates were and the
Primary Election was coming up on August 14"', and the General
Election was November 6 t1i She said the Legislative Conference
was coming up on November 15 and 16 in Orlando at the
Orlando International Airport. She asked everyone to contact the
candidates on the ballot after Friday and invite them to the
Commission meeting and find out where they sand on issues such
as: local business tax, red light cameras, pension reform, and
communication services tax. She then answered questions from
the City Commission. She stated she looks forward to working
with each one individually, so please contact her.

lie Public Participation.
Warren Brown 100 Canada-Avenue, Altamonte Springs, said they
were going to be celebrating their 25 Anniversary of Longwood
Babe Ruth next yeax in March. He said they were hoping to have
Cal Ripkin, Jr. at the ceremony, and it was going; to be happening
- on the Saturday ofMarch 2013. He said this year has been
extremely good and had small growth only because they were full
to their capacity. He said there were fifty -eight (58} teams playing
this year, with 685 total boys and girls in baseball and softball. He
said they had very good cooperation from the Leisure Services
staff He said the Park was in extremely good shape right now. He
noted there were issues that have arisen in the last six (6) months
and there were a lot of problems in terms of security. He said this
weekend there were three (3) ears broken into and windows
smashed and purses and briefcases were stolen from those cars.
He said in one (1) case, it was a police officer's personal car and
were lucky not to get his equipment. He said it was done in broad
daylight with a lot of traffic around. He said there was a
tournament being played with twenty -nine (29) teams there on a
Saturday afternoon. He said Park rules were not being obeyed,
and parents did not want to expose their children to the foul
language and conduct from those who attend the Skate Park. He
said there was more graffiti, people who act out and attitude issues.
He noted when children were asked to stop doing something like
riding their bike in the crowd, the answers were foul language or
some obnoxious comment or a finger. He noted that was all in the
presence of adults and children.
Mayor Sackett asked if anyone was confronting the issues. He said
he has seen conditions deteriorating. He said he has seen children
on the swing sets using foul language and bigger kids chasing
smaller kids off the swings. He stated he was also concerned about
the parking arrangement.
Mr. Brown said the City's staff was overworked. He stated at
night they have other issues, and have to take care of other things
and do their other responsibilities. He said at night, when they have
games going on weekday and all day Saturday, there was only one
(1) staff person there and they have other issues. He stated they
were called away from the Park, they take a dinner break they go
to other parks in the area, they do trash, etc. He stated they were
not always there. He said when they were there and sees
something happen, they handle it adequately. He said on. a
weekday night if he sees an attendant once or twice between 6:00
p.m. and 9:00 p.m. he was lucky.
CC 06 -04- 12/145
Mayor Sackett asked the City Administrator if they have a record
of activities that have gone in a negative way for the past year or
two (2) regarding the parks.
Mr. Williams stated based upon Mr. Brown's electronic mail
- - t6day I e requestedthe Police Chieflook at'prior incidents in the
Park and to provide an accounting of attempted burglaries,
burglaries, or responding to fights and that information would be
provided to him tomorrow. He said he would pass that along to the
Commission, and they can sit down and schedule a meeting with
Mr. Brown and Mr. Bikes n Boards.
Mayor Sackett said that would be the next step and to keep them in
the loop, along with Ms. Meli.
Mr. Brown said they have a board member on duty at every gam.
He said these board members used to get a lot more respect than
they do now. He said the problems they were having now were
with 16, 17, 18, 20, and 25 year old people who come there now.
He asked that a Parks Ranger be established like the City of
Altamonte Springs.
Deputy Mayor Bundy recommended utilizing the "Citizens on
Patrol" to patrol Candyland Park. He stated they wear uniforms
and have had training and can exercise a certain amount of
authority in those kind of situations.
Commissioner Maingot said in order to correct the situation, they
needed to be tough and suspend them.
Mr. Brown recommended putting more signs outlining the Park
rules and making a substation of the Longwood Police Department.
7. MAYORS AND (C ®Ml@1ISSIONERS' REFORTo.
District 91. Commissioner Maingot encouraged everyone to attend the
Institute for Elected Municipal Officials training and stated it was well
worth the expenditure. He then thanked Ms. Till.
District 9--2. No report.
District 93a Commissioner Cortes stated a_ couple weeks ago, he went
with Chief Gulbrandsen to see Engine 1 being built in Ocala and said he
was impressed. He noted in Reiter Park the lightning alarm system has
been down, and Ms. Meli was working on it. He said there was another
issue with the dog signs in the area and asked if this includes Reiter Park
and the lake in the Skylark subdivision. He noted he received an
electronic mail from someone around the area of Pelican Lake that was
having problems with dogs.
CC 06- 04- 12/146
Ms. Meli stated the ordinance referred to parks and did not think that was
considered a park. She said if it was the pleasure of the Commission, she
could place signs where they were needed.
Commissioner Corces asked if the Administrator could add it to the list of
- - "parks a- rid'to c`all - it Pelican Park. He said: he noticed the work had started
for the road widening of State Load 434. He said that traffic was really
backed up today and noticed they were not following procedures. He
asked for a timeline of the road widening. He noted there were some grass
issues throughout the City and said thankfully they were being addressed.
District M -4. Deputy Mayor :Bundy noted he was the Vice Chair of the
Early Learning Coalition of Seminole, and the Executive Board and
Finance Committee to the Executive Board was in the process of looking
for anew facility. He said he has been tasked by the Executive Board to
spearhead finding a new facility. He noted he had done some previews of
some properties and they have some properties in the Longwood area. He
said they were looking for approximately 7,000 square feet, and he said it
would be mostly administrative staff. He said fortunately for them this
was a good time to be looking. He said by bringing it back in- house, they
would generate some saving of about $250,000 per year. He said that they
would be going from seven (7) to twenty -two (22) more jobs in
Longwood. He noted he has been working closet' with Ms. Murphy, who
has been inundating him with potential properties.
District N5, Mayor Sackett said he handed out trophies to all the ball
players, and said it was an honor to hand out the sportsman awards within
each division. He noted the children were thrilled, and the parents more
thrilled. He said they seemed to value that more than their trophy and
being a good sport was more than being on a team. He said he was a
visitor for the kick -off for the Summer Camp. He said he attended the
retirement party of the Superintendent of Seminole County Public
Schools, Dr. Bill Vogel, and the new Superintendent was there. He said
they needed to have a sign or banner over State Road 434 or- Ronald
Regan Boulevard stating they have a Food Truck Bazaar going on here.
He said he was disappointed in that there were only six (6) trucks, and
hardly anyone was here at kick -off time. He asked if six (6) trucks was
the level of participation they could expect.
Ms. Meli said on the first Saturday they had thirteen (13) trucks. She said
because they did not have a big turnout, if there are too many trucks,
nobody does well. She said they were going to lessen the trucks to about
six (6) until the crowds build up and then they would continue adding
trucks. She said the Recreation Program Coordinator, Mr. Chris Capazzi
would advertise in the Lake Mary Life magazine. She said they were
getting the word out, but it would take a month to build up.
CC 06 - -04- 12'/14.7
Mayor Sackett inquired how someone would know there was a Truck
Bazaar besides the little two (2') foot sign that advertised it.
Ms. Meli said it was on the website, Facebook page, Lake teary Life and
1lltainonte Life magazines. She said the food truck organizer has a website
-- - - -- - - where he adveitises9 acid they were �oin� to `Have banners made for next
month that would be up at the Clock Tower parking lot. She said they sent
it out through Babe Ruth electronic mail blast, and they were working
with the Police Department on their electronic blast.
Mayor Sackett said it does not seem like it was catching on, so it would
take some time.
Commissioner Cortes said people were sitting on the sidewalk. He said
they have been told to bring their own chairs, but they do not. He said he
would encourage some sort of music to be there, and they needed to work
on the kinks.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said he was not here this weekend, bui the Central
Florida Society for Historic Preservation has a music system that they can
roll out and get cranked up. He said there were about twenty five (25) of
the eight (0') foot tables that they can put out in the street in front of the
Historic Civic Center, which would give people a place to sit.
Ms. Meli said they were going to be placing banners on the poles on either
side of Ronald Reagan Boulevard on either side of the Clock Tower
parking lot.
Commissioner Maingot suggested a banner be placed on the lawn area
outside on the corner of Ronald Regan Boulevard and State Road 434 and
angle it to be seen on both roads.
Ms. Meli stated they would have a banner to go there also.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said he would give Ms. Meli the name and number
of someone who will make banners for half of what she last paid.
Mayor Sackett noted tomorrow was his 36"' wedding anniversary and he
would be out of the country beginning on Saturday, June 9 and will be
returning on Saturday, June 16

Mr. Williams said the consideration and the request to proceed
under the JOC despite what the Commission's direction was, was
certainly based upon water levels. He said they just started
hurricane season and the water levels were low and that was to the
City's advantage at this point. He said who know the type of rain
events that the City may get from now to the time that it takes to
go through the formal bid process, the time to evaluate those, the
time to make a selection, etc., so they may have lost some valuable
time.

expenditures over the last five (5) years. He asked how much they
have accounted for in the $1,000,000.
Ms. Meli said they pretty much accounted for it and were still
waiting for some numbers from Mr. Peters when he brought dirt
over, and they could count the. acquisition of the additional

there.

A ]head by title only, set June 18, 2012 as the public hearing date
and approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 12- 1991,
proposing an amendment to the Charter of the City of
Longwood, Florida, concerning Article 111, Section 3.03(a) to
change the election of Mayor to be selected by a random
drawing for the City Commission elected at the first regular
Commission meeting in May 2043 following ratification of
amendment acid thereafter, the Mayor shall rotate among the
five (5) Commission districts in an ascending numerical order
and serve for a terra of one (4) year; providing that said
proposed charter amendment he submitted to the voters at the
next General Election held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012;
providing that if approved, such amendment shall be
incorporated into the City Charter,
Mr. Langley read Ordinance No. 12 -1991 by title only.
Deputy Mayor Bundy moved to approve at first reading.
Ordinance No. 12 -1991 and set the public hearing date for
June 18, 2012. Seconded by Commissioner Cortes.
Commissioner Maingot said he agrees in principal, but there was
some language being left out and that was "... shall serve at the
pleasure of the Commission." He stated there was no provision for
this now. He said if they should have a problem, or whether it was
brought upon by an election, or whether it was a problem on
account of something that creates difficulty for the continued
representation of the City by the Mayor at hand, this does not
provide them. with the .opportunity or legally, to remove such a
person from their position during that year term. He stated the
thing that was missing here was "...shall serve at the pleasure of
the Commission." He said he had no problem in the rest of the
language of the rest of the rotation, but they have to have some
safeguards in there.
CC 06 -04- 121151
Mayor ISackett asked the City Attorney if it was found anywhere
else.
Mr. Langley said Commissioner Maingot was correct. He said the
first line was stricken pursuant to the consent of the Comiission at
_the lastmeeting3 and that first line was the that provides for
that officer to serve at the pleasure of the Commission.
Commissioner Cortes said the only thing he had, and this happened
before, and he does not see here, although he agrees with the intent
of this was to make it a rotating position. He asked the City
Attorney what would happen in the event of either incapacitation
or the person whose turn it was does not want or cannot fulfill the
duties of the Mayor. He asked if it would get rotated to the next
number or does the Deputy Mayor fill in that capacity at that time.
Mr. Langley said that was not defined, so they would probably
need to at that time, the Commission would interpret the Charter
for that particular situation, and perhaps the person who was in the
rotation serving next would decline to accept the position, and it
would then rotate to the next officer. He said that would be a
practical solution. He stated technically because the Charter does
not specifically say and it does not automatically happen that way,
one could say if they could not fulfill the duties of any office, there
may be a situation on that person's Commission seat as well. He
said what he was proposing or suggesting was a Commissioner
was willing and able to serve the duties of Commissioner, but not
that of the Mayor.
Commissioner Coi tes concurred and stated it had happened in the
past. He said a certain Commissioner was nominated and
respectfully declined due to his commitments for the year. He said
sometimes someone could be incapacitated or has a lot on his plate
at that particular time and cannot serve. He said he may want to
serve on the Commission, but does not want to take on the extra
duties of the Mayor at that time.
Mr. Langley said he thinks it was a valid concern and he does not
believe the language expressly addresses that concern. He believes
the Commission, in its roll as interpreter of the Charter in that
particular circumstance, could allow the person to decline the
office, and then have it rotate to the next person. He said if that
was the way they wanted it to work, they may want to go ahead
and build that into the Charter language, so there was not any
question on this.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said that was the way it works for Deputy
Mayor and if it was the turn in the rotation for the Deputy Mayor,
CC 06 -04- 12/152
and that person happens to be the Mayor at the time, it rotates
automatically to the next person. He said as far as what
Commissioner Mlaingot said, he had no problem with that and
could be amended at the first reading.
Mayor Sackett said the amendments could come at the first reading
and they could have changes to the language to get the intent of
what these two (2) Commissioners were saying.
Mr. Langley said they could do that tonight or at the next meeting,
provided they were not substantially changing the intent of what
they were trying to do. He said they may want to consider adding
a provision that expressly provides that the Commission can set
additional procedures or rules to implement the intent of this
particular Charter provision. He said that way, the Corn;nission as
a body can further . implement other procedures to deal with the
unknowns at this time, or unforeseen circumstances that may
occur.
Mayor Sackett asked if that would be the easiest way to do it, or do
they need to get specific as to what those two (2) discussion items
were.
Mr. Langley said they could do it either way. He said the Deputy
Mayor and the Mayor may actually be one and the same in a
particular year, because they do not know at this point who was
going to be the Mayor next yeax, so the Deputy Mayor rotation
may correlate to the Mayor.
Deputy Mayor Bundy suggested having the Cleric and the Attorney
craft language in the form of an amendment, and they could amend
it at the next meeting.
Mayor Sackett said they set June IS t1l as the first reading of the
Ordinance and would likely see a workable amendment.
Mr. Langley asked for direction for him and Ms. Mirus, there was
a discussion that Commissioner Maingot talked about the "...serve
at the pleasure of the Commission." He asked if it was the
direction of the Commission to work on language to reinsert: that
language, or leave it.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said they could set -up the wording to amend
it and the Commission could decide then.
Mayor Sackett said he believes the intent, from what he heard in
the discussion was to keep that somewhere, and then something
else they were going to be crafting was what Commissioner Cones
CC 06- 04- 12/153
was specifically stating, and then what. Deputy Mayor Bundy was
talking about.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said he thinks they needed to keep it fairly
generic because there may be things that would not fall in to this.
Mr. Langley said if that particular officer serves at the pleasure of
the Commission, which was now the case, or a person who was a
Commissioner decides that they have accepted the office of Mayor
and have served for some time, and because of personal circum-
stances had decided they want to pass the torch on to another
Commissioner, and then the rotation begins halfway into a term,
Auld the person who accepted the torch as Mayor only serve for
six (6) months and then lose out on the whole year rotation.
Deputy Mayor Bundy said he thought it would be like if they were
elected to serve the balance of a seat or someone resigns from
