CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
RE -ROOFING JENKINS AUDITORIUM
City Manager Forbes advised the coucil that during the
heavy rains a few months ago we found that Jenkins Audi-
torium has significant leaks especially over the utility
and office areas. Repairing the roof was not anticipated
in this years budget. City Manager Forbes recommended
that the roof be repaired since the situation would only
deteriorate each time it rains. After some discussion,
it was determined the Council is required to solicit bids
for projects costing more than $2,500. Motion was made
1 by Councilman Meginley, seonded by Councilman Byrd and
unanimously carried that the City Manager e,authorized
to draw up bid specifications for the necessary re -roofing
of Jenkins Auditorium.

PROPERTY SI'CP:, FOR NEW WATI'P, TANK
City Manager Forbes explained that the School Board
had denied the City's request for an casement to place
the City's proposed half million gallon storage tank
on the property adjacent to the Middle School. Iie
explained that the City Engineer belcives the next
best place for the tank would be the property that the
City currently owns which is located at the Bloxam
Avenue well site. The only disadvantage of this site
would be that there wouldn't be enough room for a future
well site. Councilman Byrd related the property would
be an ideal site for the tank. Motion was made_by_

amity Manager and the City F,ngineer �e instructed to go
ahead and develop plans to construct a water storage
tank at the Bloxam-Highlands street location. council-
man Cole asked. the City Manager what would be the general
locations of the tank in relation to the well and why it
would not be feasible to use the well with the tank at
the Bloxam Avenue site. Forbes related that he beleived
it was too close to the existing well, and possibly did
not have the proper distance from sewer lines. The City
Manager was instructed to further research the possibility
of drilling another well at the Bloxam Avenue site with
..._. the City Engineer. _...... .........:._"_.

Grandhighway well will have to be shut down for approx-
imately four hours for repairs. The City will try to
have the work done at night. Ads will be placed in the
paper and businesses abutting Highway 50 will be notified
by letter informing them of what will be done. The work

rupticn pcssible,

MEMO TO: City Council
FROM: George D. Forbes
City Manager
SUBJECT: FINANCIAL REPORT FOR YEAR 1978 - 1979
The City's complete Financial Audit for the 1978-1979 Fiscal
Year has been recently completed by the firm of Greenley,
Paul, Furnas, and Kurras, Certified Public Accountants.
The schedules that pertain to the budget are attached and an
explanation of our Financial Status at the completion of the
1978 - 1979 fiscal year is as follows:
GENERAL FUND - Refer to Schedules 1 & 2
Revenues: Total General Fund Revenues received were $45,806.91
more than budgeted. Taxes, Licenses and Permits, Intergovern-
mental Revenues and Miscellaneous revenues, (primarily interest)
all had balances in excess of the budgeted amount.
Expenditures - Total General Fund Expenditures were $59,802.00
less than the amount budgeted. The majority of the savings
came from salaries and benefits (due to turnover), a decrease
in the general fund subsidy to Utilities, and a favorable bal-
ance in Repairs and Maintenance.
GENERAL FUND SUMMARY
The 1978 - 1979 budget had anticipated an unfunded balance of
Revenues vs. Expenditures of $55,000. The $55,000. needed to
balance the budget was to have been funded from the City's
cash reserves. None of this money was necessary since the City
had a favorable cash balance of $49,826. without any subsidy
from cash revenues.
REVENUE SHARING - Refer to Schedule 3
The City's Revenue Sharing Trust Fund had a favorable cash bal-
ance of $34,585. Since Federal Rekjulations require the money
to be spent within two years, the balance is budgeted to be
utilized this fiscal year.
UTILITY FUND -Refer. to Schedul.on 4, 5, and attachment 6
Revenues: Please note that Schedules four and five include
depreciation, interest, and some debt service items that are
not included in the City's operating budget-.
Referring strictly to the City's 1978 - 1979 operating budget-,
the City had a favorable increase in operating revenues of
$27,187. over the budgeted amount. Schedulo four shows a
higher favorable balance of: $55,821..41, however, that figure
includes interest for bond issue redemption that is not
part of the operating budget.
rxpenditures: The Utility expenses on Schedule five include
depreciation and interest on debt service that is not included
in the operating budget.
Schedule five shows a net unfavorable Utility balance of
$129,602., however, it must be remembered that $100,717. of
this balance is depreciation on our Utility assets (ie. build-
ings and equipment), that is not budgeted. Some cities do
include in their rates capital depreciation, but at this time
I would not recommend that Clermont consider such a move.
Capital expenditures for Sewer and water improvements can be
bonded with all users paying for the investments over the life
of the facility. The remaining unfavorable expenditure balance
of $28,885. is from unbudgeted interest and budget line item "
expenditures. These figures also do not reflect the budgeted
subsidy that the General Fund gives to the Utility Fund. The
total Net Income (Revenues minus Expenditures) of the Utility
system is a favorable balance, $42,639.04. This figure includes
total interest revenues and expenses and the general fund subsidy.
The general fund subsidy was actually $10,444. less than the
$86,222. budgeted. This is explained on Exhibit G of the Audit
Report.
SANITATION FUND - Refer to Schedule 6
The revenues of the Sanitation fund have a favorable balance of
$1,072.20 over the 1978 - 1979 budgeted amount.
The expenditures on Schedule six show an unfavorable fund bal-
ance of $3,928.71, however, this figure reflects depreciation
which is not budgeted. The fund actually has a positive fund
balance of $5,600., if depreciation is not considered.
Unlike the large capital outlays (ie. sewer and water lines and
wells) that are generally bonded, the sanitation depreciation
is essentially on garbage trucks that must be funded by operat-
ing revenues. I would recommend the garbage rates be set to
fund depreciation, so when a new garbage truck is needed the
monies are available in this fund. Unless the Garbage Collection
System is changed, the City will be forced to purchase a new
truck next year. The cost of which is about $50,000. Only
a small portion of this money will be available from the
Sanitation Fund. The Sanitation Fund income for the 1978 - 1979
fiscal year as shown on Exhibit G was a loss of $5,248.51,
due to depreciation.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Clermont is in a strong financial position, but
must not be content to sit on past accomplishments. The City
has a large cash balance and last year's budget added to this
balance. A sound cash balance in our present economic sit-
uation is a necessity. The City needs to maintain a cash
balance equal. to at least two months operating expenses, plus
anticipated capital expenditures. This will allow the City
to avoid short term borrowing and provide needed capital im-
provements. There are some problem areas that should be
addressed. The City Sanitation rate should be adjusted to
include depreciation. in addition, we must look in the long
run to setting sewer rates without any subsidy (presently
$59,059. in the 1979 - 1980 budget) from the General Fund.
Sound Utility management requires the Utility to earn enough
to cover all costs, and this matter is becoming even more -
important as property tax restrictions and capital outlays
are required.
A copy of the complete Audit Report is available in City Hall
for any interested Councilmen's review.
Respectfully,
George D. Forbes

Lake County Courthouse
315 West Main Street
Tavares, Florida 32778
Dear Mr. Roane: it
We appreciate the cooperation that the Pollution Control Board has shown
the City in allowing us to conduct the Marshland Study. The citizens
and City Council of Clermont share your concerns that our Chain of Lakes
must be protected from pollution.
At the last Pollution Control Board meeting, the City was instructed to
prepare a presentation on the waste disposal alternatives listed in
the City's Compliance Schedule. In order to devote the proper amount
of time and consideration necessary for this presentation, we would
suggest that a special Board meeting be held on the Clermont alternatives.
I would hope that such a meeting could be held in Clermont at the City's
Jenkins Auditorium to insure that area citizens can easily attend and be
heard at this meeting.
Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from
you on this matter.
Respectfully,
George D. Forbes

City of Clermont: As all Clermont representatives had not yet
arrived, Mr. mane asked that the Staff initiate the discussion
by making their report on Concept IV as proposed by the City
of Clermont last month. He then outlined the proposal for
members of the audience.
Mayor Smoak directed the Board to the eorpliance schedule (State,
County G Federal Approval of Wetlands Disposal Concept 11-79)
and stated that Concept IV which was a specific design concept
was presented in advance of getting agency approval of the concept
of wetlands disposal and, therefore, withdrew the request for
approval of Concept IV; and, in turn, requested that a motion be
placed before the Board that the report be accepted and that
discussion be held concerning results of the report leading to
acceptance of or rejection of the concept of marshland disposal.

Mr. roan stated that he felt that was whom we were. Thorn
was a brief discussion as to what point on the compliance
schedule had been reached.
Mayor Smoak then introduced Dr. John Zoltek, Dr. Suzanne
Bayley and Mr. Al Herman. Dr. Zoltek and Dr. Bayley gave
brief presentations on the background and results of the
Marshland Study. They answered various questions from the
Board and Staff regarding head thru the peat, nitrogen and
phosphorus content after saturation, nutrient uptake,
productivity, woody plant growth ::ad values'of marsh land.
Commentary from the audience from Mr. Burnstill, awrald
Lakes; Mr. Charles Hendricks, Lake Minneola; Mr. Tal Mincey,
Cherry Lake; Mr. Jim Ayres, Emerald Lakes Mobile Ham Park
and Mr. Linger Schoenberger, Cherry lake protesting the use
of the marshland for effluent disposal was heard. A letter
of protest was also presented by Mr. Schoenberger on behalf
of Mr. ion Damer.
Mr. William Dailey presented his written conrentary encouraging
trial use of marshes for final.nutrient removal from tertiary
treated wastewater at the City of Clermont. Mr. Dailey camm-rated -
that State and federal agencies have taken no steps to identify
or quantify the major pollutants to the chain, which, based on
data from an investigation now underway by the City of Clermont
and adjoining cities, is atmospheric pollution (80%) and subsurface
run-off.
Mr. Loane queried if the City of Clermont was prepared to go to
tertiary treatment in their plant facility.
Mr. Dailey stated that he had recomended this to the City of
Clermont, however, he knew of no plans by the City to use this
method of treatment. He mentioned briefly the Odophos method
being used which was expected to reduce the phosphorus level to
1 part/million.
Mr. inane spoke briefly on the implementation of the lake
classification system in Lake County. He noted that the Clermont
Chain of lakes bears a III -A classification in Lake County; and
under this classification, its highest use would be body contact
sports. It also provides that there will be no discharges,
industrial, municipal or otherwise, into these waters. He added
that the variance system was set up to allow existing sources to
improve and permit these classifications to be maintained.
LAM COUM POLLUTION Ca ML BOARD
regular Monthly Meeting, rebruary 11, 1980, oont. . . 5
Mr. Jim Modica, St. Johns River Water Managcmont District;
Mr. William Bostwick, permitting Section and Mr. Jim Nurgan,
Dredge and rill Section, riorida Department of Environmental
Regulation, Orlando, spoke briefly regarding the wetlands
disposal concept and stated that permit application for proposed
work in the marsh would be required.
Mr. Dequine asked if Mr. Morgan was inferring that permits
would be turned dawn if applied for.
Mr. Alex Senkevich, answering for Mr. Morgan, stated that
the Department was not prejudging the concept prior to permit
application; and that these were Mr. Morgan's views, not
necessarily those of the nepartrrent.
As there were no' questions from the audience or Board at this
time, Mr. Wicks was asked to present; his comments. Mr. Wicks
stated that the Staff had pursued further evaluation of the
Clermont marshland effluent disposal concept, attended a number
of meetings, and discussed the concept with Dr. Zoltek and the
City representatives. Mr. Wicks stated that some questions had
been answered, however, som remained unanswered and possibly
new questions had been generated. Mr. Flicks said that based on - - - --
additional work done by the Department, no new evidence or
information had been found in support of the project, consequently,
Mr. Wicks reiterated his recamendation of last month that
variance be issued to the City of Clermont upon selection of an
alternative other than wetlands disposal.
There was a brief discussion for Mr. Dequine's clarification as
to what aspect of the marshland concept was under discussion.
Mayor Smoak stated that the City of Clermont wants to know if
the Board is going to look further at a specific proposal site
using this disposal rethod in wetlands or if they are going to
say under no conditions, Linder no circumstances will they ev:n
consider wetlands disposal.
Mr. Ebrd advised Mayor Smoak that he felt that this was an unfair
request as this Board considers almost every proposal, whether
industry or city, that is brought before them and makes some
evaluation of the project. He added that this was turning a
specific project into a generalized concept, and he saw no problem
with the Hoard giving an opinion on this generalized report that
has been given; but to ask the Board if they would ever consider
something was not fair to the Board. He felt that the Board's
comments should be limited to the report, not a general theory
of wetlands disposal.
lj= COUNry rOLLU11ION NNPPAL BOAIM 6
Tdogular Monthly MaL•ing, rcbruary 11, 1980, cent. . .
Mayor Smoak concurred that the report is specifics however,
he added that the rules as they are currently written do not
apply to the report, and feels that it is not out of line
to get an indication from the Hoard if consideration is
going to be given to wetlands disposal based on the basic
parameters in the report. Mayor Smoak stated that the City
is prepared to make a specific proposal if the answer is
yes; if the answer is no, he feels that the door has been
closed before the chance to : AL, + specific design concept
has been nude.
fir. Ibrd eammented that a very specific proposal had been
presented last month on which everyone had done additional
work, including an alternate recom endation by the scientists
that conducted the Study, and had been withdrawn at this
meeting.
Mr. Ibrd reiterated that he felt the Board could consider
wetlands disposal in general but felt a blanket answer such
as was being requested was not a reasonable approach.
Various alternative disposal methods were discussed by the
Board and motion for variance was made by Mr. Conant and
seconded by Mr. Dequine with amendments. Mr. Inane commented
briefly on the background of the eonplianoe schedule and
stated that he felt the Board had reached the point of approving
or disapproving the wetlands disposal concept.
In conjunction with his motion, Mr. Conant asked for additional
comment from the Staff and Legal Council.
Mr. Wicks pointed out that the evaluation of landspxeading
alternative and A.W.T. were to be done eoncurrrently with the
last year of the research study. 'Mr. Wicks stated that he felt
that the City had evidently chosen the marshland disposal method
as the one they wanted to use and felt matters could be expedited
if the Board could come to a decision as to whether or not
this method would be acceptable to them. Mr. Wicks then reiterated
his recommendation that an alternative other than wetland disposal
should be chosen.
Mayor Smoak remarked that most of the oomrents presented tonight
had been in reference to Concept IV and added that this is no
longer a viable alternative. The City of Clermont wishes to
pursue, with the Board's input assi.^,tance•in designing, a wetlands
disposal method that is acceptable. Mayor Smoak then stated that
until last month, the City of Clermont had no indication from any
regulatory agency, including the Board, that • there was any serious
objections to marshland disposal provided the study said there
would be no problems. He added that he felt there were no guarantees

Regular Monthly Mooting, February 11, 1900, cent. . .
---------------------
with any method, and that if a proposal can be shorn on an
experimental basis that has adequate safeguards and monitoring
and does not create a nutrient sink that can be flushed out
into the lakes all at one time, he thought the City should
receive a fair hearing. Mayor Smoak concluded by requesting
that this study not be capriciously, arbitrarily and unreasonably
turned down without a fair hearing.
Mr. Raoano stated that he felt that the City of Clermont had
received a fair hearing before this Board and that this Board,
the County Commissioners, the State and every other organization
involved had leaned over appreciably to see that the City of
Clermont had ample opportunity to work with it. He pointed
out that a commitment was made at the time of the initial
Construction Permit, after some serious reservations, that
problems would be corrected itmiediately as they arose; problems
that this Board had been grapling with for the past five years.
He further pointed out that much time had been spent both by
the City and the Board in developing a compliance schedule that
was acceptable under which the wetland disposal concept would
be reviewed to see if it was an acceptable concept to use. Mr.
Roane commented that he felt this review had been made and that
the Board should now make some decision as to the acceptability
of this approach.
The motion was reviewed, discussed and withdrawn.
Mr. Wicks again presented the Staff reeomrendations upon request
from the Board.
Notion was. made by Mr. Dequine, that,
the request for variance of 60 days
be granted with the proviso that at
the end of that 60-day period, the
City of Clermont return to us with
what engineering technology will allow
as suitable alternatives, including
the possibility of the use of wetland
and landspreading and A.W.T., but not
limited to those only.
Mayor Smoak was asked if this 60-day variance would be sufficient.
Mayor Smoak stated that the City of Clermont, thru their
engineering services, evaluated landspreading and A.W.T. but
have not yet put it in a format that would be acceptable to
the Board, but could do so.

SUBJECT: Jenkins Roof
DATE: 1-larch 6, 1980
As we discussed earlier some roof problems
have developed at Jenkins Auditorium.
I have received two (2) estimates which indicate
a total cost of approximately 116,500.00.
The need for a new roof on the Jenkins addition
was totally unexpected due to its age. This cost is
approximately $4,000.00.
The balance of the work was anticipated and
can be funded from budgeted money.
I would suggest that we request approval from
Council for the 1$4,000.00 from contingencies.

We have followed the Consumer Price Index as articles have appeared in the Wall

'('he Conanlss;ion could investigate and propose possible solutions to allow the C1Ly
to nurintain a scheduled trash collection system.
At; a starting point, various alternatives that could be Investigated would be:
1. luring 7 new employees and purchasing all extra truck strictly
for trash collection.
2. eviewing the City Ordinances to insure that the trash can be easily
pinked up (i.e.: all tree branches must be bundled and cut in three

possible for trash collection.
Ito garbage trucks are presently required for our rear yard collection
system. Each truck has one driver and two sanitation workers. It thin)
requires six men to collect the garbage.
one alternative that would greatly Increase the efficiency of the collec-
tion system, but not add any increased costs to the City, would be for the:
City to shift to a curbside collection system. This system would have the.
following advantages.
1. With curbside collection the City could pick up garbage with
one truck and three men. This would leave a second truck and
crew that could be utilized for -scheduled trash collection.
2. The garhnge collection system would be more reliable. PreseuL.l.y,
whenever a sanitation worker is sick or injured, it is difficult
to find an adequate replacement. This is because of tile physical.
requirements necessary for picking up garbage to the rear of
residences, and the fact that it is often difficult fora new
sanitation and
to find the garbage cans in yards in which he
is unfamiliar. With curbside collection both the physical and
location problems would be solved.

The curbulde collection would also allow the. City to eliminate
one garbage truck. Tills would result In an immediate savings of
approximately $50,000 for tho cost of It new truck that will be
needed next year 1f the City remains on this system. There
would also be an even greater long term savings in gas and
maintenance.
One prublem with the curbside collection is that it might place
n hardship on the elderly who may not be able to physically lift
their cans to the curb. however, this problem could be solved
In two ways:
1. Cans or carts on wheels could he purchased from the City so
that they could be wheeled to the curb.
2. Rear yard collection could be provided, but at a higher
collection fee than curbside.
'rhe above alternatives are only some of my thoughts on this subject, and
I'm sure that the Committee Members will have many positive suggestions. ,..<. _
I would hope that in the next few months these and other alternatives
could be investigated, and r look forward to hearing from the Committee.
By working together, we can make Clermont a better place to live and work.
Respectfully,
George D. Forbes
City Manager

Highlighto of
Eoct Central Florida Regional Planning Council
Quarterly Mooting
February 27, 1980
Winter Pork, Florida
I. This was the third consecutive meeting in which a quorum
was not met. As a result the executive board had to con-
duct the business for the council.
II. Mein topics on the agenda concern the following:
(A) Issuing a complaint to the Federal Government to
appose breaking up the Orlando Standard Metropoli-
tan Statistical Area so as to make Orange and
Osceola Counties separate areas. (This would ser-
iously affect Orlando's revenue sharing status.)
(B) The adoption of an interlocal agreement For the pur-
pose of combining all the counties into the East
Central Florida Planning Council for the purpose of
dispersing state Funds For the criminal justice sys-
tem. (This takes the authority away from each munici-
pality and county securing these Funds and places it
in the hands of the ECFRPC).
(C] A proposal was agreed upon to execute an:interagency
agreement between ECFRPC and each of the local govern-
ments in the region For the purpose of securing Funds
(Federal and state) For transportation planning.
(0] Most controversial of all was the executive board's
action to direct the executive director to support
proposed legislation that would realign all the various
state agencies so that their boundaries would .conform
to each of the 5 regional planning councils in the
state. (This issue will generate some very heated op-
position as each region gains influence and politi-
cal power at the apparent expense of various state
agencies, particularly DOT, DER, Commerce, etc.

The City in 1950 deeded the Masonic Lodge property to Lila bodge. Unfortunntely,

Dear George:
Enclosed are copies of correspondence from Irving Morse regarding the Masonic Lodge.
Apparently the City deeded the property to the Lodge in 1950 although it was owned
by the County. In 1976 the County leased the property to the City.
I have talked with the County Attorney and he says there will be no problem in getting
a deed from the County. I would suggest we get a deed from the County and then deed
the property to the Lodge.
If you agree, please advise and put the matter on the Council's agenda.
Very truly yours,

Re: Masonic Lodge, Clermont, F1.
Lot 7, Block 90, Clermont
Dcar Chris:
Confirming our conversation regarding the above property.
I have Abstracts of Title from the earliest possible
records to September 21, 1979 as prepared by the Lake Abstract
& Guaranty Company, Numbers 24060 and 53831.
A partial Map of the City of Clermont, showing Blocks 82
and 90 is enclosed.
May Hendrix and husband T.L. Hendrix gave to W.O. Percival
a mortgage dated 1/20/28, Mortgage Book 57, page 185 on,
All of Block 90, except Lot 8: Lots 7 to 16, -
both inclusive Block 82; Block 83 except S 1/2
of N 2/3 of Lots 1, 3 and 5.
W.O. Percival foreclosed this Mortgage (Chancery Case
No. 4118, filed 3/9/29) and was conveyed the above property
by C. Rogers Wells, as Special Master in Chancery on 5/24/29,
Deed Book 15, page 326.
Mr. Percival was my former Father-in-law and I am familiar
with the following facts:
(a) A group of young ladies in Clermont wanted to sponsor
a clinic for expectant mothers who were in need of medical care.
(b) Working with these young ladies, Mr. Stokes, and as
a City Attorney we found that a small clinic could be built with
Federal Funds on property owned by the City or the County. We
settled on the lots in Block 82 except Lots 1 to 6, inclusive and
Let 17 (the City Hall was then on Lot 17). W. 0. Percival
conveyed those lots to the city. A small clinic was built which
is now the South Lake Memorial Hospital. The Hospital now owns
the lots in Block 82.

(c) At LhaL ti.mo the VoLorann of Forci5jn Wars wore looking
for, a ,location as was 11. Ralph llnr.por.,, Lho Dodge - DoSoL•o agent.
Mr.. F.D. Kr.oi.dur an a Committee of ono, for. the Lodgo,wia looking
for a lot for Lilo Masonic Lodge Building.
(d) Bocauac of t:he excesnive mil]ago .in the City of Clermont,
1000 mills, (ordered in sui-ts to enforce anocssment and levy to
pay for defaulted City bonds), Mr. Percival decided not to invest
any further money in the property he acquired and allowed the
county taxes to become delinquent for 3.939 and subsequent years
on Block 90.
(a) Under Chapter 22079, Laws of Florida Acts of 1943, this
County foreclosed it's tax liens (Chancery Casa No. 7869 filed
1/16/45) and therein included Lots 4 to 7, inclusive, 9, 10, 3.1,
12, 13, Block 90 (and other lands not pertinent hereto). Mr.
Percival did not defend the suit and Final Decree was dated and
filed 6/l/45, Chancery Order Book 34, page 379.
On September 2, 1947, Lake County through it's Board of
County Commissioners conveyed for $100.00 Lots 5 and 6. Block 90
to the Veterans of Foreigh Wars, Inc:, Post No. 5277. This deed
is recorded in Deed Book 269, pages 21 and 22 and a certified
copy is attached hereto.
On June 4, 1945 (Vol. 14, pg. 197) I found a motion by Sloan,
_._ seconded by Jones that cities be asked to meet with the Board
on June 14, 1945 for the purpose of determining values of lands
acquired by foreclosure of tax liens.
On June 14, 1945 (Vol. 14, pg. 200) F.R. Roe, F.B. Rigby,
N.C. Brown and I.F. Morse, City Attorney for Clermont met with
Board (as well as representatives of other cities) and 50% of the
assessed value for 1944 was agreed upon as a value of each lot.
On November 5, 1945 (Vol. 14, pg. 240) Stokes and Sloan
moved the adoption of a resolution dedicating to public use the
lands the County acquired by foreclosure (Chan. Case No. 7869 in
Clermont) (underlining supplied) and is withdrawn from sale so
long as used for public use and that Town Council of Clermont.
shall by resolution concur. The Council adopted such a resolution
as reflected in the Minutes of the Board on 2/4/46 (Vol. 14, pg.257).
On April 3, 1950 (Vol. 15, pg.249) the Board of County
Commissioners, acting under the provisions of Chapter 23830, Laws
of Florida Acts of 1947, agreed to sell all land they had acquired
by foreclosure of tax liens and had owned for 2 years for $100:00
plus costs and advertising for 4 weeks.
In 1938 until 1950 the Lodge was renting and Mr. F.H. Kreider,
had a commitment from Mr. Percival to convey Lot 3,- Block 90 for
lodge site - Percival would keep Lots 1 and 2 as they, being corner
lots, would be more valuable.
(Continued on Page 3)
Shortly thoreaftor., H.R. llarpor appr.oachod Por.c.ival to
i
purchase and did purchase Lots 11 2 and 3 for. hin Dodge - D0SOte
Agency. Thin property wan laL•or suld by Harper. to Murray A. Ilona
and wife who later sold to the Florida Telephone Corporation on
which they have constructed a building for their. oxchango. Copies
of the tako-off cards of the Lake Abstract Company showing those
transactions are attached.
Mr. Kreider and Mr. Stokes discussed Lot 3, Block 90, and
because the Lodge had no desire to stop the sale or the relocation
of thr Harper Agency on Lots 1, 2, 3, Block 90, agreed to take
Let 7, Block 90 in lien of Lot 3, Block 90.
It was decided, because of the Resolution of 11/5/45, that
Lot 7 would be conveyed to the City of: Clermont and it in turn
would convey same to this Lodge. on February 7, 1950 the City
conveyed to this Lodge, Lot 7, Block 90 by deed filed 2/28/50 and
recorded in Deed Book 294, pages 593-594 of the Public Records of
this County. A copy thereof is hereto attached: The Lodge
Building was dedicated in 1952.
About four (4) years ago we were asked to return all of our
properties to the Appraiser and it was then that I discovered
the County had not conveyed the lot to the City.
Since discovering that the County still owned Lot 7, Block 90
I have been trying in my spare time to gather as much information
on the lot.- some of our records were in the hands of former
Secretaries, as possible.
Then, to add more confusion, the County entered into a Lease
Agreement dated December 7, 1976 and recorded in O.R. Book 633,
page 1129. Copy is attached. We were advised that we could
obtain a lease from the City but they have refused.
I am enclosing a deed subject to this Lease Agreement. If
executed, I believe we would be able to obtain a release from
the City. tie need to have Title to the Premises.
Thanking you and the Board for assistance in this problem,
I am,
