CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
BLEACHERS FOR KEIILOR PARK TENNIS COURTS
City Manager Forbes reported that at the April Meeting of the Parks
and Recreation Board, the Board had recommended that half of the cost
for bleachers at the Kehlor Park Tennis Courts be paid by the City and
the other half' should be paid through citizen donations. The cost of
the bleachers would be approximately $1150. Council Member Pool asked
if' costs were shared for the benches at the shuffleboard courts and
Little League fields. Mr. Forbes explained that in the past, various
groups had shared the costs and donated their time for different
projects. No one group sponsors the tennis tournaments frequently held
at the Kehler Park Courts which makes it more difficult to collect funds'
for the bleachers. After some discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL.'
MEMBER POOL AND SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER COLE TO HAVE THE CITY PAY THE
TOTAL COST OI'' THE BLEACHERS. Upon clarification of who would actually --
83-066 pay t e costs, MR. COLE WITHDREW HIS SECOND AND THE MOTION WAS DEFEATED
BY A FOUR TO ONE VOTE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER POOLS VOTING AYE. After further
discussion regarding who actually uses the courts, A MOTION WAS MADE BY
COUNCIL MEMBER TURVILLE SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER DUPEE AND CARRIED BY
LEASE AGREEMENT - KEHLOR PARK RECREATION BUILDING
City Manager Forbes stated that a lease agreement between the Lake County'
Council On Aging and the City had been prepared which would allow the
Council On Aging to utilize the Kehlor Park Recreation Building for a
Senior Citizens Center Annex. Mr. Forbes passed out draft copies of the
agreement to the Council, and asked for their comments on the agreement.
City Attorney Baird stated that in looking over the lease agreement, every-
thing appeared to be in order but the Hold Harmless Clause. He felt that
the City should not put monetary limits of $100,000 and $200,000 damage
to the tenants, and that this part of the lease should be rewritten to
reflect any amount claimed against the City.
After some discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to have Mr..
Baird rewrite the Hold Harmless Clause of the Agreement, and to 'notify
the Lake County Council On Aging of our intent to present for their
approval a lease agreement for the Kehler Park Recreation Building.
ASPEN -EMERALD LAKES - PRIVATE GARBAGE COLLECTION
It was stated that the owners of Emerald Lakes Mobile Home Park had asked
permission from the City to collect and dispose of their own garbage and
refuse. The owners have purchased a garbage truck to service all of the
parks they own in Lake County. Mr. Forbes stated that our Ordinance

appeared to be to a.1.10vi an "Individu;:d. property owner" to dl.;poce of

the Ordinance doer not :31)ec.Lfleally addresses the matter clot, the "owner"
of several unite within a l.;argc cortplor.. Ile felt- that the Ordinance
:should be viewed in term:; of policy because a franchise agreement might
be needed to allow the servlcInir of oo many unites. It was suggested
that the Council make a doclelon a:: to whether It will allow a large
complex to daepose of l.ta own refuse and Ivarbage or require at to have
a franchise agreonsent.
City Managor porbc:. stated that he felt as Ion[,, as the "actual ownern"
of the park picked up the f;arbage, no franchise agreement would be
needed. If' the "owners" had someone else pack up the garbage, then a
franchise agreement would be needed.
City Attorney Baird reiterated that the intent of the Ordinance was to
allow an "individual. property owner" to dispose of his garbage, not a
large complex with many units. In the past, the City's position had
been that an operation such as Emerald Lakes is proposing would require
a franchise agreement. If, the Council allows Emerald Lakes to collect
their own garbage, the Ordinance should be amended accordingly to
eliminate future problems.
Council Member Pool asked how allowing them to collect their own garbage
would affect the City financially, and City Manager Forbes stated it would
cost about 5% of revenues initially, but as the City grows vie would be
83-067 better off. After much discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER

City Manager Forbes reported that Council Member Dupee had asked him to
check on the status of the County using the old library building as a
courthouse annex. Ile stated that he had spoke to Commissioner Smoak and
that the County was in the process of looking at other counties' annexes
and should be able to decide by the first part of June if they will use <
the old library building. Commissioner Smoak also asked for a firm commit-
ment from the City for the building. City Manager Forbes stated that
should the County decide to use the building, he had already notified
Lake -Sumter Community College of the City's intent not to renew their
83-068 lease on October 1, 1983. After some discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY

as Lots 2 through 111, Benrict Ileaghtn Subdivision. Mr. Forbes stated that
if' the City washed to sell the property, It should be declared surplus
property and put up for, bids. Mayor Beals stated that the property had
been used as a dump In the early s:1.xL':ies. Council Member Turville asked
of the property could be used as a site for the Public Works Department?
Mr. Forbes stated that it was doubtful because the topography of the land
made building questionable. Council Member Pool asked If the rite could
be used as a landfill in the future. After some discussion, It was the
consensus of the Council to have Mr. Forbes check with the County to see
If It; would be feasible to use the property as a landfill, and not con-
sider selling at this time.

SITE PLAN REVIEW - 857 EAST MINNEHAHA
City Manager Forbes stated that in 1979 Mr. Don Tracy was granted a
Conditional Use Permit to operate a real estate and wholesale plumbing
business at 857 East Minnehaha. At that time a CUP was needed because
a wholesale business was not allowed in the central business district,
however, our new ordinance has changed this. In March of 1981 Mr. Tracy
was granted a side and rear yard variance for the building with the con-
ditions that the old building be torn down when the new building was
be
completed and that theTheobuildin e of all haspipe beenand tornther materials
down. However,wMrould . Tracy

Mr. Tracy appeared before the Council to explain the reasons for altering -,
his original site plan. He explained that the outside storage for the
pipe was inside a fenced -in area, and that he would be willing to put
some type of slats or lacing in the fence to screen it from public view.

FUNDING FOR WATER LINE TRANSPERS AND REPLACEMENTS
Mayor Beals reported that for. Preston Davis, Utility Director, had
requested that the water line transfer and replacement project be con-
tinued. An additional $2,200 1:; needed to complete the line transfers
and $11,608 to continue the line replacement, or a total of $13,608 to
be funded from the Improvement, Repair and Replacement Fund. When the
original funds were budgeted, the City intended to complete the trans-
fers over a few years' period of time, however, increased water quality,
customer satisfaction from the project, and the fact that the part-time
crew works so well together makes it worthwhile to continue the project
now' After some discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCIL MEMBER DUPEE,

ment would increase the City's fee for the service to $40 per month.

ORDINANCE 2311-C - INTRODUCTION
Mayor Beals explained that Ordinance 2311-C was a proposed ordinance which
would have proposed amendments to the charter regarding the municipal
election dates placed on the ballot. The changes would allow the municipal
elections to correspond with the County, State and National Elections.
Council Member Dupee asked if there was any point in going through with this
because she understood that a proposal to have each county set its election
day had gone through the State House Committee. Mayor Beals stated that
he understood that each County Supervisor of Elections would be responsible-'
to establish uniform municipal election dates throughout the county, and
felt if the City of Clermont took the initiative in this matter, the county
might choose to use our election dates. City Attorney Baird advised that
the State Bill would not be placed on the ballot until November, and the
City should go ahead and pass this ordinance because it could be revoked
at any time before the next municipal general election. Mayor Beals asked
for clarification of the term "general election" in Section 2, which City
Attorney Baird explained as meaning the next city general election. Council>
Member Dupee stated that she felt the wording in Section 2 should be more
specific than the words "changing the date". Mayor Beals suggested that
the wording be changed to read ."relating to municipal elections conform-
ing to other county, state and national elections". After much discussion,

FORECLOSURE ON LIENS - 1970 REVENUE BONDS
It was reported that several people were delinquent in paying their
sewer assessments. These assessments had been spread over a ten year
period of time, and the final payment was due in April 1982. Since
that time two notices had been sent out, one by the Finance Director
and one by the City Attorney. City Attorney Baird discussed several
ways of handling the delinquent assessments, and stated that you cannot
just ignore them. The Bond Ordinance requires that some action be taken.

UTILITY DE•.PARTMENT
The Utility Department- has transferred 165 individual service
lines, to date, and abandoned many old water mains. This is
having a very positive effect on water quality for our resi-
dents. Work on the water line transfer project should be
complete in about 2-1/2 months. However, we will need some
additional funding to complete this project. This matter
will be placed on the Council Agenda for our April 26th Meeting.
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
The Public Works Department has been patching streets and re-
pairing sidewalks this week. We received a request from
Emerald Lakes to allow them to collect their own garbage. The
management owns other trailer parks in Lake County and has
purchased a garbage truck for their collections. Our Ordinances
allow collection by the owner.
QUINCY'S RESTAURANT
Quincy's Restaurant is progressing rapidly and should make a
fine addition to our community. They have requested to be
allowed to construct a chain link fence with redwood slats
instead of the shadow box or picket fence approved by the
Council. We believe that this change is reasonable, since it
will still serve as a buffer between the restaurant and other
uses.

Bonard Pitts has agreed to reduce the size of an existing monu-
ment in our cemetery so it will comply with City standards.

RE: MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
Dear George:
Pursuant to request by the City Council I have reviewed the provisions in the City
Charter and the Code Of Ordinances relating to elections, more specifically, the date
of the general election. It is my understanding that the City Council is considering
changing the date to coincide with the State of Florida general elections.
As a matter of procedure, it will be necessary to take the following actions: -
1. Adoption of an Ordinance submitting the following Charter amendments for
referendum:
a. Article II, Section 6 (b). Amendment should be adopted changing
the dates to 1st Tuesday in November.
b. Article II, Section 6 (d). Amendment should be adopted changing
the date to 1st meeting in January.
c. Article III, Section 24 (a). Amendment should be adopted changing
the date to lst Tuesday in November.
d. Article III, Section 25. Amendment should be adopted changing the
date to 3rd Tuesday in November.
2. After the referendum, an Ordinance should be adopted amending the following
section of Chapter 7 of the Code Of Ordinances:
a. Chapter 7, Section 7-1. Amendment should be adopted changing the
date to 1st Tuesday in November.
The foregoing amendments would provide for an election in November. In the event
no candidate received a majority of votes, a run-off election would be held two
weeks later. Alternatives may be considered as follows:
Mr. George 1). Forbes
City Manager
April 12, 1983
Page 2
1. Amend the Charter to provide for election of the candidate who receives
a plurality instead of a majority. This would remove the need for a
run-off election.
2. Amend the Charter to provide for a primary election the tat Tuesday in
September after Labor Day. On even -numbered years, this would coincide
with the State primary. There is no State primary on odd -numbered
years; however, there is a county -wide election. In the event there
were only 2 candidates for each office, the primary election would not
be held.
It is my understanding that the Countil has discussed at length the second alternative
and I have therefore prepared a draft Ordinance for your review.

Door George,
The Clermont Chamber of Commerce i.s interested in
adding the dosi.gnated "Kiwanis P.00m" to its office space.
During the past tl.'o years that the Chamber office
has been in Jenkins, the Kiwanis Room has been used very
little and mostly by charge exempt groups such as Little
League, etc., and only once a year. In fact, lately
these groups have used the lobby rather than the room.
I feel the Chamber can make a much better us of the
room, and such use will not he detrimental to any local
organizations. Based on present utility costs, the
Chamber is willing to pay an additional $20.00 per month
for the added space.
If the Kiwanis Club desires separate negotiations
for the the use of the furniture, the Chamber will be
happy to discuss it with them.
Ily cony of this letter, it is requested that the
Kiwanis Club notify the city as to its position and then
the city notify the Chamber as to leasing.
Sincerely,

B. On March 2, 1982 the City Council approved a
Cup to allow Mr. Morris; to add a 125 square foot
room to his house.
Mr. Morris now requests another CUP to allow him
to construct a 16' x 46' carport and a 10, x 43'

behind the carport will be an additional bedroom and
bath. 'rho rear part or this building has :already
been enclosed, and a Stop Work order was issued by
the Building Department. until. the Planning and
Zoning Commission and Council act on this matter.
To further complicate the issue, Mr. Morris and the
adjoining property owner to the north have a dispute
on the location of Mr. Morris' northern property
line. Bach owner seoms to have deeds that contra
dict each other.
Tf this CUP is granted, we would recommend that tine

].. The property must be developed in accordance
with the approved site plan.

7. If any of the above conditions is violated, the
