The final design with the updated changes came back to the Council for final approval. Council Member Brishke expressed concern for the added moorings. Assistant City Manager Kinzler clarified there are fixed docks on the outside with a floating dock in the center and a floating dock for the mooring with the potential for eight to ten boats to be staged there.

Assistant City Manager Kinzler stated there will not be dredging by the moorings but there will be dredging by the ramps.

Mayor Ash inquired as to the need of additional moorings. City Manager Gray stated the City pulled a committee together for input on the design of the boat ramp which resulted in many of the recommendations to change the concept. 5 City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING May 28,2019 Council Member Brishke clarified not being opposed to the concept but expressed concern for the current design.

City Manager Gray stated the design is adjustable. Mayor Ash opened the Public Hearing. Greg Amann, 550 East Avenue, stated no dredging has to take place for floating docks. Council Member Brishke stated dredging comes up if the water is not deep enough for the boats and clarified the concern was for the moorings on the land side not being deep enough for the boats which may result in additional dredging. Jim Purvis, 4206 Hammersmith Drive, agreed with Mr. Amann and suggested Council Member Brishke may have been absent the night the concept was approved. Council Member Brishke stated it is possible she may have been out of state when the subject was discussed at a Council Meeting.

Mayor Ash stated the proposed concept is a change from the original presentation previously provided to the Council with the proposal being$400,000 over budget. City Manager Gray stated one of the reasons for the funding request to the County and Water Authority was to expand the boat ramp and share the resources. As a result, the City will have just over $1 million pledged in outside funding. Council Member Travis inquired about the budget.

If the Council would like to make any changes to the Charter recommendations, the changes would have to be approved at tonight's Council Meeting by the Council. City Clerk Howe recognized the Charter Review Committee Members and reviewed the Purpose of the Charter Review Committee, the timeline for the Committee,an overview of the City of Clermont,the City organizational chart, and services provided to the City's residents.

After discussion, the Committee decided to make no changes to the Mayor's Seat, City Council vacancies, terms and execution of City documents but recommended for the Council pass a Resolution or Ordinance if they would like for the City Manager to sign City documents in place of the Mayor. In regards to arbitration, there is no process currently set in the Charter for arbitration should a former Council Member appeal the forceful removal of the Council Member from office. The Charter Review Committee recommended keeping the matter in mind should the Council want to make any changes to include a mandatory arbitration. City Clerk Howe read Ordinance No.2019-22 aloud by title only. An Ordinance amending Article II, Section 6, "The Council" of the Charter Laws of the City of Clermont,providing that the Council shall be composed of a Mayor elected at large and four Council Members each a resident of and elected by electors of specific districts; providing for the creation of four districts and redistricting; providing that no Council Member shall be elected for more than four consecutive two-year terms; providing for an eighteen-month residency requirement prior to qualification for election to any seat on the Council; providing for a referendum on the amendments; providing for the title and explanatory statement for the ballot for each of the amendments; providing for inclusion in the Charter; providing for severability and conflict and providing an effective date for the amendment. City Manager Gray clarified the Charter does require a candidate to be a resident and a voter at the time of qualifying. The Committee is also recommending to divide the City into four single member districts and would have to be equal in population from the census data which is released every 10 years.Single member districts means only people who live in that district can vote for the corresponding Council Member seat. However,the Mayor's seat would still be at large which will allow for the whole City to vote for the Mayor's seat. The Board of Adjustment would be a Board created to hear variances which the Council currently hears on a routine basis. The Council currently acts as the City's Board of Adjustment but the Charter Review Committee suggested the Council may want to look at creating a separate Board as the City continues to grow. 7 City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING May 28,2019 Mayor Ash thanked the Committee Members for their time and opened the meeting up for their comments. Committee Member Purvis expressed concern for the wording of the ballot language.

Robert Olsen, 1290 Dianne Place, expressed disappointment in the Committee for not addressing more issues and opposed to two of the three proposals but thanked the Committee for their effort and time. Mayor Ash closed the Public Hearing. Council Member Bates thanked all the Charter Review Committee for their effort and expressed opposition towards districts. Council Member Brishke, Council Member Travis, Mayor Ash, and Council Member Goodgame also expressed opposition towards districts. City Attorney Mantzaris stated the Ordinance has three Charter amendments and the Council can make a motion to deny or approve each amendment individually. Council Member Goodgame moved to deny districts and to not have them; seconded by Council Member Bates. City Attorney Mantzaris clarified the motion is to remove Charter Amendment 1 from the Ordinance in regards to districts. The motion passed with all members present voting aye. City Attorney Mantzaris suggested for the Council to address each Charter Amendment in order and for the Council to proceed to Charter Amendment 2,Term Limits. Council Member Bates expressed support for term limits. City Manager Gray clarified the amendment is for four two-year terms which would allow a maximum of eight consecutive years before the Council Member would have to sit out for a year. City Attorney Mantzaris clarified the amendment does not state the Council Member has to sit out for a year but states cannot serve more than eight consecutive years which means the break can be a year or it can be less than a year. If a vacancy was created suddenly on the Council, then you could have a break which was shorter than a year. 8 City of Clermont MINUTES REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING May 28,2019 Council Member Travis inquired about a vacancy on the Council. City Attorney Mantzaris stated the Council would have to hold a special election or,depending on the time left in the vacancy,there is language in the Charter which allows the Council to appoint an individual someone. Council Member Goodgame requested clarification. City Attorney Mantzaris stated there are two caveats which would affect the maximum eight consecutive year limit.The first is if the Council was to appoint the individual to serve on a vacant seat and the other instance is if a Council Member wanted to run for Mayor, their term limit would restart as it is a different seat. Mayor Ash expressed concern for voter turnout. Council Member Travis expressed support for term limits. City Attorney Mantzaris clarified there is no action needed at this point since all of the Council Members are in agreement on term limits. City Attorney Mantzaris stated the next amendment to discuss is residency requirements. Council Member Bates expressed support for the residency requirement. Council Member Travis expressed preference for a twelve-month residency requirement but expressed support for the eighteen-month residency requirement recommended by the Charter Review Committee. Mayor Ash requested mandating for the candidates to prove fulfillment of residency requirement with documentation. City Attorney Mantzaris stated municipalities rely on the Supervisor of Elections to determine who are the appropriate registered voters.The City is not in a position to qualify these individuals with regard whether they are registered voters in the City. Council Member Bates inquired about background checks for candidates. City Attorney Mantzaris recommended against requiring a background check because from a constitutional perspective, anybody who is eligible to be a voter can run for office. City Attorney Mantzaris stated the Ordinance now before the Council is to be adopted with Charter Amendment Two and Charter Amendment Three. Staff will rework the Ordinance to remove references to districts and that will be the final Ordinance presented to the Mayor for signature.
