PAT WEBER - VARIANCE REQUEST FOR NW CORNER OF MINNEOLA AND FOURTH STREET Mr. Roy Caldwell arrived aL 9:30 p.m. and Mayor Beals asked that Lhe variance request for the N14 corner of Minneola and Fourth Street be heard at this time. It was explained that the variance was needed because the square footage of the lot they wished to build on was 1125 square feet• short of the required 7500 square feet. The building would meet all other zoning requirements. Mayor Beals asked if any one present in the audience wished to comment on the request, and no one spoke for or against it. Council Member Pool stated that he had looked at the lot-, and it appeared to him that other homes in the area were built on lots with less than the required square footage, and that if all of the setback requirements could be met, he saw no prob- lem with granting the variance for the property. After some discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER POOL AND SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER COLE TO GRANT THE Council Member Turville stated that he was opposed to granting the variance because he felt that whomever sold part of the lot could have done it for a reason. Mayor Beals stated that he felt the Council was duty bound to grant the variance only if it could be proven that a hardship does exist. It was further stated that the date of when the lot became substandard was the real issue. Mr. Caldwell stated that he did not know the date when part of the lot was sold thus making it substandard. He also stated that had he known the lot was substandard, he would never have purchased the property. 83-091 After some discussion, COUNCIL MEMBER COLE WITHDRE14 HIS SECOND TO THE PREVIUUS MOTION.

LEGISLATIVE SESSION The Council discussed various Bills now pending before the State Legislature. The con - senses of the Council was to allow Mayor Beals to write letters to our legislators giving the Council's position on the following Bills: 1. HB 1012 PRISON SITING. The consensus of the Council was to oppose this Bill because it would override local zoning authority. 2. ilB 1143 - UNIFORM ELECTION DATES. The Council was in favor of this Bill which would require Counties to have uniform election dates. 3. 11B 173 - MOBILE HOMES. The Council. was against this Bill because it would allow double wide mobile homes to be placed on city lots without regard to individual municipalities' zoning ordinances. 4. SB 451 - GAS TAX REFUND FOR MUNICIPAL VEHICLES. The Council supported this Bill. 5. PCB - 5 REVENUE ESTIMATES. This Bill was opposed by the Council because it would eliminate State estimates on sales tax revenues. ADMISSION FEES AT CITY BALL FIELDS City Manager Forbes explained that the school had been charging fees at the softball field on Twelfth Street for the State Tournament. He stated that he had discussed this matter with Mr. Lofgren, Principal at the High School, and that all revenues from the fees were used for the athletic program and to offset the cost of operating the tournament. The School Board provides no funds for athletics, and the fees only go to the athletic program. It was the consensus of the Council that there were no problems with this, however, they did believe that the school should notify the City Council when fees are being charged, and that all fees collected should go to the school's athletic program. The Council also directed the City Manager to speak with Superintendent of Schools, Carl Pettit, about a light for the elementary school basketball court; and to speak with the Church about parking at the Little League Field. BOAT RAMP CASHIER City Manager Forbes explained that the City would be charging a fee on weekends and holi- days to use the boat ramp. The consensus of the Council was to continue with this practice..` PURCHASE OF PARKS' VEHICLE City Manager Forbes explained that a replacement vehicle for the Parks' Crew had been budgeted in this year's budget. The Public Works Department had requested that a crew cab type vehicle be purchased. The pros and cons of such a vehicle were discussed and the Council decided that the State Contract price for such a vehicle and quotes from local dealers should be brought before the Council at a regular meeting. 0 CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES WORKSHOP MEETTNG May 17, 1987 Pulse -2- PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM FOR THE, COUNCIL CHAMIlI!RS 'I.'Ite Counel.l discusned Lila fact that it public addrena nyatem for Lila COntel.l Chanibaril wan i.nciuded in thin yearn budget.

GIXY Managur Forbes reviewed the materials prepared by Finance D:I.ractor Saunders on Lhl.n matter.. LESLIE'S PLACE A letter was read by City Manager Forbes from Leslie Griffin regiurding the condition of the huLLdinls on the corner of Eighth and Minnoola which she leases from Lila City for her Beauty Salon. Mrs. Griffin rents Lila building for $1.85 par month. The present Con- tract states that Lhe :lessen Ls responsible for all. repairs. The Council discussed that it was stated In Lila Letter that the roof needs immediate repairs and that L•he building needs painting and the ehuL•ters on the outside need to be replaced. It was also discussed that the contract expires In ILss than one year, and that it was unusual. for it Lenant to pay for such repairs. It was the consensus of Lila Council. to obtain quotas for the repairs, to the building .Lit accordance with Mrs. Griffin's request, and to have them presented to the Council at it future meeting. EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL Council Member Dupec discussed work plans of the ECPRPC, and stated that they were initiat- ing a report on the effects of the property tax roll back referendum which will be on the November 1984 ballot. She stated that a 2C per head assessment would be charged by the ECPRPC if Lhe study was to be conducted. There was much discussion about the propriety of such a study, but the consensus of the Council was that as long as the results were open to the public, such it report would be beneficial. Before any funds could be spent on such a study, the matter would have to be discussed and voted on during it regularcouncil. meeting.:: GRANT FOR COOPER MEMORIAL LIBRARY EXPANSION Council Member Dupee also discussed that funds were available from the State for the expan- sion of the library. The funds were available on a fifty-fifty matching basis and that approximately 1.6 million dollars were available in Florida at this time from the recently adopted Federal Public Works Bill. Mrs. Dupee asked the Council if they would have any problems with the Library Board pursuing such a grant. She discussed why such an expansion would be necessary. The consensus of the Council was that they would have no objections to this, however, official action would have to be taken at a regular council meeting before a final application could be submitted. ANIMAL CONTROL City Manager Forbes discussed that he was satisfied with the City's present fee system for impounding stray animals because the first time the animal is caught we charge the cost of vaccinations and dog tag to the owner. It was the consensus of the Council to leave the fees as they are. OCCUPATIONAL LICENSES City Manager Forbes explained that he had received an inquiry for a home occupational license for wholesale firearms and ammunition sales. He explained that he would refuse such an application because he did not believe it would fit into the proper definition of a home occupation. It would not violate the city ordinance if a person who belonged to a gun club ordered guns and ammunition from a mail order vendor who sold to members only. CITY ANNEXATION POLICY There was much discussion regarding what the City's policy should be on future annexation and growth. Each Council Member expressed his views and discussed if the treatment plant would be expanded to cover annexations from all areas outside the present city limits. This matter will also be discussed at the Town Hall Fleeting. A policy on these matters was decidedly of prime importance for the upcoming year. ® CITY OP CWHONT MINUTES WORKSHOP Mlili'CINC clay .17, 1.983 1'ngo -3- IYUL.1TY BENEFIT FP;Ii Mr. Forbes exphilnod thu City's uLIJILy benuflt: fee and Out Lhe purporto of such n fee wait to defray the enfital coals of the CILy's suwar find waLo r ayatemw whLoh arc Created by an expandl.ag poptd.atLon.

No additional fee would be charged if the building contained the same square feet and same number of rest - rooms Its the original building. The Nursing Home addition was discussed as an example, stating that if the old addition was torn down which contained seventy burls and It new addition was built which contained eighty beds, the utility benefit fee would be based on the additional. ten beds. Thu Council. agreed with this analysis and the CiLy ALtorney'a ruling on this matter. EXPANSION OF WASTE TREATMENT PLANT City Manager Forbes discussed the status of: the City's 201 Facilities Plan and our grant application with the linviretmentill. Protection Agency. Ile stated tIIIL It was crlLlcnl L•hnt the City submit an application within the next two months and have property available for the landspreading site. The Council stated that they had no problems with the City Manager . researching available properties and reporting back to the Council any proposed agreements with adjoining property owners. There was much discussion regarding the need for land and the possibility of spraying the treated effluent on groves as is currently being proposed by Orange County. Mr. Forbes stated Lhat he had been researching alternatives and at this time such an alternative was only feasible if the City would also build a water treatment. -- plant to floc, settle, filter and disinfect with chlorine any of the City's wastes. Only after the secondarily treated effluent went through this process, could it be utilized on groves. At this time, this is the only acceptable method according to the Pollution Control Board Staff. Mr Forbes stated that he felt this method was the wave of: the future and would have a positive impact on the State of Florida, but would probably not be worthwhile for the City of Clermont to build a water treatment plant to treat 1 million gallons per day when all that needs to be treated is 400,000 gallons per day for the process at this time. There was also much discussion regarding the appraisal of the City property purchased from Inland Groves. The City had purchased the property for $7,000 per acre, however, the appraisal valued it at $6,700 per acre. Fm11A will only pay the City bact the appraised fair market value of $6,700 per acre. It was discussed that this would pose no problems for the City because we had purchased ten acres previously. Council Member Pool stated that he believed the grove was in better shape two years ago when the original contract for the property was negotiated. Since that time, there have been two freezes which have damaged the trees. GRANT APPLICATIONS City Manager Forbes stated that he was also pursuing funds from FmHA and the Economic Development Administration for the expansion of the waste treatment plant. If there were.. no Council objections, he would be investigating and working on such applications but before any applications were mailed, they would receive Council approval at a regular meeting. HAY CROP City Manager Forbes stated that the City needed to find a method to harvest and dispose of the City's hay crop at the the landspreading site. He stated that he would be pre- paring requests for proposals for any interested parties. This request would be presented to the Council before it would be let for bids.

They also want the Kiwanis Club to take a position on this matter, since they donated the furniture in the room to the City for public use.

The Planning and Zoning Commission denied his request for rezoning to C-1 on April 6, 1982, and unanimously recommended denial of this second request, based on the same reasons. The Planning and Zoning Commission also recommended that City Council review the ordinance and consider changing it to read "PhotographicaStudio" under R-3• It was felt that the definition of "professional office" is not clear. All Council Members should carefully review the enclosed memo on this matter. SURPLUS PROPERTY The City of Leesburg will be conducting a combined Public Auction on Saturday, May 14, 1983.

The Notes will mature twelve (12) months from the date of delivery, will be in such denomination or denominations as shall be acceptable to the purchaser or purchasers thereof, will bear interest at such rate as is specified in the successful bid, not exceeding the legal rate, payable at maturity, and will be redeemable in whole or in part prior to maturity, at par plus accrued interest and without premium, at the option of the Issuer, provided that notice of any such redemption prior to maturity shall be given in the manner provided in Resolution No. 394 adopted by the Issuer on March 23, 1982, as amended, -1- r authorizing issuance of the Notes and the Bonds hereinafter described (the "Rosolution"). The principal. of and interest on the Notes will be payable, with par clearance guaranteed, at such place or places as shall be designated by the Issuer upon award of the Notes to the successful bidder or bidders. The Notes, which will be issued for the purpose of pro- viding interim construction financing of a part of the cost of acquiring, erecting and constructing extensions and improvements to the sewer facilities of the combined municipal water and sewer system of the Issuer (the "System") which will be financed ulti- mately through the issuance of Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 1982 of the Issuer (the "Bonds"), will be payable solely from and secured by a prior lien upon and pledge of the proceeds to be derived from the sale of the Bonds or the sale of bond anticipation notes issued to extend and renew the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and, if necessary, from and secured by a lien upon and pledge of the revenues to be derived from the operation of the System and the proceeds of certain municipal excise taxes described in the Resolution, all in the manner pro- vided in the Resolution.

The Notes will be awarded to the bidder or bidders offering to purchase all of the Notes at the lowest net interest cost to the Issuer; provided, that the Issuer reserves the right to reject any and all bids; and provided further that if the same lowest net interest cost is reflected by more than one bid, the Notes will be awarded to the bidder offering to pay the highest dollar price therefor. The lowest net interest cost will be -2- l determined by aggregating the total amount of interest payable on the Notes from the data of their delivery to the purchaser or purchasers until maturity, computed at the rate specified in such bid, after deducting therefrom the amount of any premium reflected by such bid. Each proposal must be accompanied by certified or cashier's check in the amount of two percent of the face value of the Notes, which such check shall be payable to the order of the Issuer and drawn on a bank having membership in the Federal Reserve System. No interest will be allowed on any such checks. The checks of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned promptly following the award of the Notes. The check of the successful bidder or bidders will be retained by the Issuer as security for the performance of the successful bid and at the time the sale is consummated will either be returned or applied on the purchase price of the Notes, at the option of the Issuer. As soon after the award as they and the supporting docu- ments may be prepared, the Notes will be delivered as a whole against payment therefor in bankable funds, in Clermont, Florida, or elsewhere, at the purchaser's expense, at the option of the successful bidder or by agreement ambng the successful bidders. The Notes were validated by Judgment of the Circuit Court in and for Lake County, Florida, rendered on July 20, 1982, and there is no litigation pending affecting the validity of the Notes. The Issuer will furnish the successful bidder or bidders, without cost, the printed Notes and the legal opinion of Foley, Lardner & Slade, Jacksonville, Florida, approving the validity of the Notes. under existing statutes and court decisions, interest on the Notes will be exempt from federal income taxation. No conditional bid will be considered, except that all bids will be construed as having been conditioned on the provi- sions of this official invitation for bids.

CITY OF CLERMONT BY: City Clerk LEONAflD H. fiAIflD, JR., ATTORNEY AT LAW, P.O. DRAWER. 1066. CLERMONT, FLORIDA 32711 M i Wit fltlCt{i L1WIIP.0 197 Pitt Street Clermont, Florida 32711 April 28, 1983 Mr. George Forbes City Manager City of Clermont 1 Westgate Plaza Clermont, Florida 32711 RE: Solid Waste Report Council Meeting April 26, 1983 Dear Mr. Forbes: After talking to you it is my understanding that you and the City Council, would like more information concerning solid waste dis- posal by incineration, and production of electricity. More speci- fically, the problems and economic advantages or disadvantages other companies or Municipalities are experienceing with such a plant. I will have this information for you as soon as I can collect and prepare the data., The enclosed report with Line numbers has been prepared in order to compare what I estimate to be the worse conditions oE-750-Kwh-per ton of solid waste and $30 million as cost of plant. This worse condition shows000 a rofit growtas h seofd5%oa$year3,000 oftheoriginal reort. Ifu (which is not unreasonable) you can see the compound effect each year after the first year on savings. The items which have been changed are indicated by the underscored line number. If you or the City Council have any further questions please contact me. Sincerely, Paul Hohensack Enclosure: Report This report has boon proparod as a preliminary investigation to determine a safe mothod of Solid waste disposal in Lake County, which will help safeguard Municipal water supply, and at the same time help reduce taxes and electric rates to the consumers in Clermont, Florida. Presently Chore is about 114,000 tons of solid waste being disposed of by landfill in Lake County, divided into the following areas. Astatula (South Tavares) 51,713 tons per year Lady Lake (North of Leesburg) 17,408 Log House (Groveland) 9,904 Umatila (North of Eustis) 6,833 Leesburg 28.080 Total solid waste in Lake County •114,000 Tons This is an amount equal to an area the size of a football field and as tall as a twenty.atory building. The County charges $1.65 per cubic yard to dispose of the cities solid wastes. This amounts to over $620,000 per year. According to Mrs Lewis of the Lake County Engineering Department, it is getting more difficult to obtain land fill sites all of the time. Leesburg is considering going to incineration in the near future. In a news article dated February 3, 1983 Robert Smyth, Clermont Public Works director said, "We are concerned that the County's Log House landfill, where the city presently disposes of trash will be completely filled in 1983. This will force dispsal of our garbage and trash elsewhere. If the County canngt find a new landfill site in our vicinity, we may be forced to haul our trash many more miles or use a transfer station." No one wants a landfill near their property. Landfill is not a sure safe method to dispose of solid waste. In the textbook, Living Environment by Miller, "A landfill is a solid waste disposal site that is located to minimize, water pollution from runoff• and • leaching." -There is no:assurance that landfill is com- pletely safe. It would appear that the only real safe method is by incineration. (2) 1 In a news article dated February 2, 1983, Roy Herndon, professor of 2 Physics at Florida State University said, "Landfills are inappropri- 3 ate for hazardous wastes in Florida." Herndon was formerly oxocutive 4 director of Florida's Governor Bob Grahm'a Hazardous Waste Policy 5 Advisory Council. Professor Herndon also said he didn't think it 6 possible to design a liner that would prevent hazardous wastes from 7 eventually escaping into the state's fragile environment: with its 8 sandy soil and high water table. IIe advocated shipping the material 9 out of Florida or treating it such as by incineration. Herndon further 10 stated in the same article, that a survey has shown that hazardous 11 pastes go out with the regular garbage and winds up in landfill. 12 Incineration will eliminate many of the problems associated with 13 landfill. 14 Solid waste can be used as a fuel to produce electricity and thus 15 reduce the cost of power to the people of Clermont, and at the same 16 time cut the amount of taxes within the city. 17 From the standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, by Baumeister 18 & Marks, 5,000 B.T.U.s per pound is the average heat content of. 19 solid waste that is 58.6% combustible and 22.47 moisture. Converting 20 this to electricity would produce L kwh per ton. The amount of 21 solid waste in Lake County would produce 85,500.000 kwh of electricity 22 per year. 23 Using data supplied by George Forbes, Clermont City Manager, it is 24 estimated that Clermont would have about 3,000 electric customers.. 25 After talking to Leesburg Electric department it was estimated that 26 the Clermont customers would use -.an average of 1,600 kwh per month 27 with an average demand of 4kw. This would be a total of 57,600,000 28 kwh used by Clermont leaving 2 7.9.00,000 kwh to sell to Florida ; 29 Power Corporation or to the power pool. The total peak would be 30 12megawatts. However the solid waste will support a larger plant. 31 Clermont has another need, to get rid of their secondary sewage 32 (Treated Effluent). This effluent can be used as cooling water 33 for a power plant. The estimated cost of this plant is 15 million 34 dollars. However it could be as high as $30 million. I An estimated breakdown of the income and expenses of such a proposed 2 plant are as follows. Uninc 750 Kwh nor ton and �30 mill+on cent of alaaC. 3 Plant production @ 750 Kwh par ton 85:500�_000 kwh par year 4 Clermont usage 57,600.000 5 Surplus to sell 2�900 000 6 Annual costs 7 Bond ropayment Using $30 million $3.900',OOQ� (per George Forbes) 8 Fuel cost @ $2.38 per ton 271,000 9 Maintenance 95,000 10 Operating Labor 320.000 11 $4 .58 6 , 000 12 + 1014 418 , 000 13 Total $5-044,000 14 Annual Income from 85,5i00,000 kwh per year. 15 Clermont usage @7.50 per kwh $4,320,000 16 Surplus @3.442 X 27,900,000 960.318 17 Less landfill fees 16,000 18 Total $5,29L318 19 Minus costs $5.044.000 20 Total income over expenses --------------- 252 318 21 Using one of the residential electric bills in Clermont the average 22 kwh cost was 8.32¢, therefore the city could charge 7.5¢ which would 23 be a rate reduction in Clermont of in excess of $472,000,direct. 24 The Lake County Cities would have saved over $600,000 in landfill fees. 25 From Economics by Cambell R. McConnell, "The multiplier effect is 26 based upon the two seemingly innocent facts, on the one hand the 27 economy is characterized by repetitive continuous flows of expend- 28 itures and income. Wherein the dollars spent by Smith are income 29 for Jones. On the other hand any changes in income will cause both 30 consumption and savings to vary in the same direction as and by a 31 fraction of the change in income. (4) 1 For examplo assume income $5.00, change in consumption 3/4, 2 savings 1/4. 3 lot round $5.00 $3.75 $1.25 4 2nd 3.75 2.81 .94 5 3rd 2.81 2.11 .70 6 4th 2.11 1.58 .53 7 5th 1.58 1.19 .39 8 All other 4.75 3.56 1_.19. 9 $20.00 15.00 5.00 10 Until the savings equal the change in investment or the original $5.00 11 Since the citizens of Clermont realized a direct savings of $472,000 12 plus the '$ 252:000 difference in income over expenses, the total 13 would be $724,000, 14 If we use the multiplier effect, the economy of Clermont would -45- increase over `;$2,900,000. 16 The economy.-of.Lake County would increase almost $2,500,000 if 'we ----= 17 use the multiplier effect and the $6009000 they saved in landfill 18 fees. The cost of power will be stabilized i*q.-gLermont because*fuAk 19 costs will n?t:•bq::gre.atly:effected, such as other fuels. 20 In summary, Clermont and the whole State of Florida must do something 21 about the problem of solid waste and drinking water pollution. 22 The city of Clermont can and should take the initiative to build.a. 23 solid waste fueled power plant. This will help decrease water 24 pollution and decrease the cost of electricity in the City of 25 Clermont. Such a power plant, City owned and operated will reduce 26 taxes:in Clermont, and the economy will be boosted by the multiplier 27 effect. i i Clermont, Florida I February 18, 1983 GREENLEE PAULIh KURI?AS Mr. George Forbes City Manager, CLLy ul.
