CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT - HOOKS ROAD EASEMENT & CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS
City Attorney Baird reported that the initial negotiated settlement for
the Hooks Road easement and condemnations proceedings against property
on Lakeshore Drive had not worked out. Originally it was negotiated
that the City would pay the property owner $1,000 for the Hooks Road
easement, and in turn would burn down the condemned building as a
training exercise for the fire department. Neighbors objected to the
fire, and the property owner has now hired a contractor to tear down
the building for its salvage value. The agreement does not include
removal of the slab or filling in the basement where the furnace was
located. Also, in light of the fact that the City now needs an
additional 50' for the Hooks Road easement, the property owner now
wants $2,000 for the easement.

Council Member Turville asked if it would have boon less expensive
if the City had torn down the building? Mr. Richard Langley stated
that his client had signed an agreement with the contractor. However,
if the City agrees to the torms of the new settlement, his client would
sign over the agreement to the City, and the City would be able to en-
force it.
Mr. Baird was also asked if the City would be liable if someone fell
into the hole left from the furnace removal? Mr. Baird stated that the
property owner would be liable if this happened. Mr. Baird recommended
that the City pay Mr. Langley's client $2,000 for the Hooks Road ease-
ment because obtaining the easement through condemnation proceedings
would be far more costly.

INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCES 157-M AND 158-M, WADE PROPERTY REZONES
Mayor Beals explained that these Ordinances were being introduced as
requested by Mr. Bob Wade, owner of the property, and that he had
asked that the property in Ordinance 158-M be rezoned R-3 Residential/
Professional and the property in Ordinance 157-M be rezoned to C-2
General Commercial. Mayor Beals also explained that the Planning
and Zoning Commission, at its last regular meeting, had made recom-
mendations different than those requested by Mr. Wade.
Mayor Beals stated that he felt uncomfortable having an ordinance
introduced knowing that the form of the final ordinance would be
different than that being requested. After some discussion on
procedures for introducing ordinances, it was decided to maintain
past policy. City Attorney Baird stated that the ordinance could
be changed without re -advertising, as long as the density for a
particular tract did not increase from the original request.
ORDINANCES 157-M AND 158-M WERE INTRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBER POOL
BY TITLE ONLY.
BID AWARD - HEALTH INSURANCE
Finance Director Saunders reported that every three years the City
bids out its insurance policies, and although numerous companies
were contacted, no bids were received for our health insurance.
Our present health insurance carrier, Florida Municipal Health
Trust has sent the City notice of a premium increase effective
October 1, 1983. Mr. Saunders further stated that he would
continue to try and find better rates, but in talking with other
companies, they could not offer the same coverage at a lower price.
Mr. Saunders recommended that the City continue its health insurance
policy with the Florida Municipal Health Trust with the following
monthly rate increases:

traffic signals, patching the alley behind flanks Electric, and finished
some parks maintenance in the Central Business District.
The City's Parks Foreman, Sod Adams, retired this week. fie had been

Labor Day is a holiday and City Hall will be closed. The County has
closed the landfills that day, so garbage normally picked up on Monday
will be collected on Tuesday. Tuesday's collection will be scheduled
on Wednesday, and Thursday's and Friday's collection will be unchanged.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
This was a quiet week for the Police Department. They responded to six
vehicle accidents and issued eighteen traffic citations. We had one
residential burglary on Sheldon Place, but almost all of the stolen
items were recovered within twenty-four hours after the burglary.
CHURCH INFORMATION SIGNS
I have received a request from St. Matthias Episcopal Church to place
some small (four square feet in area) informational signs in the City.
As you are aware, the City has allowed numerous signs like this on
Highway 50, most of which are attached to our street sign posts. The
church is requesting one sign to be placed on Highway 50 at the corner
of Lake and the highway, and I can find no problem with this request.
However, the church has also requested permission to place signs in
various other areas of the City. I have informed the church members
that we cannot allow these signs to be placed on private property
throughout the City since this would set a precedent, and the City
would be required to honor similar requests by other churches.

Weekly Memo
September 2, 1.903

CHAMBER_OF COMMEHCE
The City's contribution to the Chamber of Commerce was discussed in great
detail. It was explained that the Chamber had requested $10,000 for the
new budget. City Manager Forbes noted that $0,000 was contributed during
the current year. Mayor Deals stated that we should consider the fact
that the City is already contributing $10,000 to the Centennial Committee,
and this should have a direct bearing on any possible monies allocated for
the Chamber because the Centennial Committee should receive more support
from the Chamber. Council Member Turville stated that we should try and
Put a dollar value on the worth of the services performed by the Chamber
for the City. Mr. Saunders read a list from the chamber's request which
itemized the services they performed for the City and the dollar amount
they felt these services were worth. It was discussed that with the
$10#000 the City could hire an additional employee that would perform
all of the services t11e Chamber had listed in their letter, plus more.
The membership fee structure within the Chamber was discussed, and
Council Member Cole explained that Williams Steel has about the"me
number of employees as the City of Clermont and payr, dues of $200.
Finance Director Saunders reported that another business with approxi-
mately forty-three employees pays $100. After much discussion, Council
Member Turville stated that the direction and character the Chamber has
taken are its privileges. The Chamber can choose to he anything it
wishes. But if it chooses to be a special interest lobby and politically
active, it should be independent. Those are functions that should not be
funded with taxpayers dollars. It was discussed that $2,000 was a fair
amount to contribute to the Chamber in the 1903-19114 budget.
The Meeting adjourned at 9:40.

n..i.�MrtiJ
ThO Clermont chmmbor of Comin„rcu has issued an ambiguous release to
arum media representatives pertaining to the annual Labor Day festiv-
ities at. Jaycee Beach. When such liberties are taken with veracity
it is impurative that the record he set straight, lest someone mis-
understand.
The news release states, in part, that due to the City Council's
apparent unwillingness to fund the Chamber at levels of the recent
past, that it can no longer afford to sponsor the Labor Day Program.
This implies two things, neither of which 4=0 correct.
/3
First, the City's projected October 1, 1983 to September 30, 1984
budget has nothing to do with Labor Day 1983. When last year's
Council budgeted $8,000 for the Chamber, it was in anticipation of
the Chamber honoring its Labor Day commitment.
Second, the Chamber by its own conservative estimate was expecting to
net $1,000 on Labor Day. incidentally, their current cash on hand is
$2,684.55 which is quite enough seed money to successfully promote
Labor Day.
Certainly the Chamber Membership should not be criticized. We are,
quite frankly, embarassed by the turn of events. Nor should the en-
tire Board be chastised, because as late as Monday of this week there
were certain Board Members unaware that the Chamber had dropped the
ball.
A sAkc
It's a poor commentary that .gr individual. would hold a community
hostage by attempting to wreck a thirty year tradition.
As always, it has been heartening to see the various Civic organi-
zations rallying, on short notice, to salvage the Labor Day Program.
Rest assured, the City Administration stands ready to assist in every
way possible.

Re: Estate of .Louise M. Arnett
Gentlemen:
It is our understanding that the Library is applying for a Federal
Grant.
As you are aware, upon final distribution of the above referenced
estate, Cooper Memorial Library is to receive three -fourths (3/4) of the
residue of the estate. This will amount to at least $50,000.00. and
such assets are to be used at the direction of the Board of Directors;
provided however that none of the assets are used for normal operating
expenses.
Cordially yours.
