Cole. Other officials present were: AcLing City Manager Sanchez, City Attorney Baird, City
Clerk Carroll, Public Works Director Smythe, laid Chief of Police Tyndal. Others present were
the M04HrH. Mallory, Evann, Sargent, Wertz, and ScarleH.
The invocation was offered by Mayor Pro-Tem Byrd, followed by repeating; of the Pledge of
Allegiance in unison by those present.
The Minutes of the Regular. Meeting held on February 13, 1979 were approved as written.
SIDEWALKS
Acting City Manager Sanchez reported that the budgeted amount for new sidewalk construction
this fiscal year had been expended in the two top priority projects as recommended by the
P6/. Commission's Safety Subcommittee, these being on Desoto Street between East Avenue
and School Street, and, Bloxam Avenue from State Road 50 to Highland Avenue; That the
cost for these projects had been borne entirely by the City due to their location in the
Junior high area and used primarily for school traffic; and, That he would suggest that
before additional construction is undertaken, particularly in residential areas, that the
priorities and method of funding be reviewed. City Attorney Baird advised that existing
City ordinances allow assessing of property for construction of sidewalks, and also a
new State Statute allows municipalities to assess benefitted property for the construction
of streets and sidewalks, thereby, it would be a policy decision for City Council to make
as to the percentage, if at all, that property owners would bear for such construction.
Councilman Schroedel reiterated his report of the last meeting as to the need for side—
walks 1n the heavy pedestrian areas of just north of SR50 on 5th Street to the first
fire hydrant, and on Minnehaha Avenue in front of the Lake Highlands Nursing Home. Public
Works Director Smythe advised of available sidewalk repair funds to construct the short
distance of sidewalk on 5th Street, which would then provide continuity from SR50 north
to Osceola Street. It was the determination of Council that this construction would be
of more benefit to the public at large because of the proximity to SR50 rather than
benefitting the adjacent property owners, whereupon motion was made by Mayor Pro-Tem Byrd
seconded by Councilman Schroedel and carried that this construction be authorized from
the available repair funds. It was the suggestion of Mayor Pro-Tem Byrd, and Council was
in agreement, that Acting City Manager Sanchez, in conjunction with Public Works Director
Smythe, obtain cost figures for package sidewalk construction projects by non -city crews,
and submit in writing for Council consideration at the next meeting with regards possible
additional construction in other areas of the City on an assessment basis.
BROOME STREET CONSTRUCTION
Acting City Manager Sanchez advised that the construction of Broome Street between Fourth
and Fifth Streets had not been included in this fiscal year's budget, although he had
heard considerable interest expressed from various sectors as desiring to have it con-
structed, and he inquired of Council's desire in pursuing the matter. He further advised
of the City's normal procedures previously in financing street construction on a 2/3
assessment to the abutting property owners and 1/3 by the City, but in this case it was
his understanding that the fronting property owners were not in favor of construction by
assessment. Mayor Pro-Tem Byrd requested that Acting City Manager Sanchez, in conjunction
with Public Works Director Smythe, submit their recommendations in writing as to this
portion of Broome Street in question, and the matter be placed on the next regular meeting
agenda for consideration by Council.
LIBRARY PARKING LOT
Public Works Director Smythe advised of an estimated cost to pave the parking area at
the Library between $1500-1600, and that he had contacted the Clermont Garden Club to
solicit their help for a suitable landscaping plan „ which they had agreed to do. 11e
further reported that city crews had filled the parking area with wood chips which
appeared to be working well, and quite possibly would suffice on a permanent basis with
additional haulings.

the provision.
Act'LnI; City Manager Sanchez advised of a further request by the Kiwanis Club wherein they
m ch renghl fee for use of. the auditorium based on a provision that, "service
be exempted from
Club activities that are intended to benefit the community..." nro not subject to rental
fees, but it had been his determination that such provision applies to specific ❑etivities,
not regular meetings, and therefore the regular rcttal foe would apply. Mr. Phil Searles,
booking agent of the auditorium for the City over the past two and one-half years, app
Council that determinations as to whnt organiznelons should, or should not, be exempt
from rental fees, 1s the most questionable and difficult task in booking the auditorium.
In an effort to assist the administration with future bookings, Mayor Pro-Tem the ByrdOus requested
that Acting City Manager Sanchez submit in question form, and in writing,
areas of the existing rules and regulations pertaining to use of the auditorium that
Council might provide more specific policy decisions, and the matter be placed on the next
meeting agenda for consideration.
Acting City Manager advised that since the re -location of the Chamber office, future
bookings for the auditorium would be made through staff at City hall, but it would be
necessary that a part-time custodian be hired to generally oversee and assist in operation
ney
of the building. Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Byrd seconded by ll

FIRE PROTECTION
with regards inquiry at previous meetings of possible need for additional fire hydrants
in the Lincoln Park area, Fire Chief Smythe advised that a survey is underway at the
present time by City Engineer Springstead of the City's existing water system as to fire
flow capabilities, need for expansion and in what direction, etc., and the matters of
additional water main construcof
tion and subsequent installation of additional hydrants
would be addressed. Ile further advised of existing fire
hydrants within 100 and thatywith

these distances and 1400' of hose on each of the two large pumpers, the entire City can
5
presently be adequately served.
COMMUNICATIONS
City Clerk Carroll read a communication from the Clermont Kiwanis Club wherein they
requested permission to block off Montrose Street between 7th Street and Lake Avenue on
March 24, 1979 in order to sponsor their annual Spring festival in that area. Motion was
made b Councilman Schroedel seconded b Councilman Cole and carried that the request
be granted.

SUII.IEG'P: Use of Jenkins Building by Kiwanis Club
DATE: February 14, 1979
As requested by Council., 1 have reviewed the request of. the Clermont Kiwanis
Club to use the Jenkins building on a regular basis.
Paragraph lg of the rules governing use of the building which are currently
in effect provides the following:
"Iteservations may be made for a regularly scheduled use of
the auditorium but only with the understanding that special
event programs may cause cancellation of the regularly
scheduled use."
I feel this provision is fair in that it will prevent a possible situation in
which special activities of interest to other groups or the general public
would have to be denied. Jenkins is a public building maintained primarily
from taxes, and I believe it should be available to as many people or groups
as possible.

Dear .1Im:
To confirm our telephone conversation tilis morning, it is
my 1.11terpretatio❑ that the Kiwanis Club would have to pay
for the use of the Jenkins Auditorium for your weekly
meetings.
You have requested exemption under the provision that
"service club actLvi.ties that are intended to benefit
the community . . ." are not subject to the rental fee.
While we recognize and appreciate your club',; service to
the community, 1 believe the exemption was intended to
apply to specific activities, not: regular meetings. In
the past, we have waived the fee for activities such as
the Political Forum, ch'Lldren's Christmas parties, etc.
If you disagree with my interpretation, you may, of course,
request exemption from the Council.
Sincerely,
Thomas A. Sanchez

Sidewalks. We have exceeded our budget for new sidewalk construction this
year. The two top prtoriLy items recommended by Lhe Safety Subcommittee have been
completed. These are Ilotioto Street between Fast Avenue laid School. Street, and Bloxam
Avenue from SIZ50 to Highland Avenue.
Before nddl.tional construction 1s undertaken, I would recommend that the
priorities be reviewed. We nlno need to review the method of funding. The sidewalks
constructed this year arc used primarily for school traffic and the cost was borne
by the City. 11owever, most residential sidewalks 1n the past have been financed by
assessment,or were required of subdividers who passed Lhe cost on to the home buyers.
A copy of the Safety Subcommlttoe's recommendations is nttuched.
Streets. The City has budgeted $30,000 for Street Capital Outlay. (This
does not include minor street- repairs.) This was part of a long-range maintenance
program and no specific streets are named. We will be making recommendations shortly.
The unpaved block of Broome Street (between Fourth and Fifth Streets) is
not budgeted for this year, although it was the previous City Manager's intention to
study the project. The main problem is that the fronting property owners are not in
favor of being assessed for the paving.
Virtually all residential streets have been financed 2/3 by assessment, or
fully by the contractors in tine case of subdivisions. Therefore, the City has three
options: (1) Have the City assume all the costs, although this cony not be equitable
to other property owners who have shared in the expense of their streets; (2) Finance
2/3 by assessment, although the fronting property owners are not in favor of this;
or, (3) Leave the street•. unpaved.
Council recommendations are requested.
Library Parking Lot. To provide eight spaces, paving costs are estimated
at $12-1500.
We are requesting that the Clermont Garden Club provide landscapeing
suggestions.
