A landspreading line will also have to be constructed across Highway 50 to our new site.

Page 2 Weekly Memo November 6, 1981 LAKE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION. We have received notice from Senator Richard Langley regarding the Lake County Legislative Delegation. The delegation will conduct a Public hearing on Tuesday, November loth at 7:00 p.m. on the fourth floor of the Old Courthouse in Tavares. The purpose of this meeting is to give elected officials the opportun- ity to inquire about any legislative action or suggest proposed legis- lction. Since the hearing will be held on the same night as our Council Meeting, I suggest that any Councilman with suggestions con- tact Mr. Langley's office at 394-6000. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT. At last week's Orange Blossom Breakfast, the Clermont Police Department and the County participated in a Crime Watch" seminar. We will be assisting the Chamber of Commerce Crime Watch Committee, and enclosed is a City brochure on protecting your home that is being made available to Clermont residents. Also enclosed is the monthly activity report of the Police Department. -- The Fire Department assisted with a Fire Preventionmeeting at.K-Mart, responded to a dryer fire at Three Sons Laundry, and several vehicle fires. Mrs. Mary Blackburn has requested that the Fire Department burn two buildings she owns located just north of the intersection of Pitt Street and Shady Nook Drive. Since these buildings are in a grove and a good distance from other buildings, the Fire Chief has recommended that they be burned as a training exercise. The City Attorney has drafted an Agreement with Mrs. Blackburn holding the City harmless from any liability as a result of the burning. These buildings will be burned within the next few weeks. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. As suggested by Councilman Conley, I Have -written a letter to the DOT inquiring of the possibility of a pedestrian overpass being constructed on Highway 50. I have been informed by the DOT that Clermont is now considered an "urban area" since the 1980 census gave us a population of 5,000. This places the City in a different classification for federal aid and state funds, as explained on the enclosed brochure from the DOT. UTILITY DEPARTMENT. Last week the Utility Department com- pleted the percolation tests at our landspreading site. City Engineer Sampson has informed me that it will be at least 30 days until the test results are tabulated and the results known. PUBLIC WORKS. The Public Works Department has been repairing the Fit Trail and unplugging a storm sewer line on Eleventh Street in front of CBS. Page 3 Weekly Memo November 6, 1981 TENNIS TEAM. A Women's Tennis Team organized by Eleanor Meade will be reserving the Carroll Street Courts on three Wednesdays, November Ath, 18th and December 2nd, 1981. They will begin play at 6:30 p.m. LAKE WINONA - MINNEIIAIIA WATERWAY. Last Wednesday Mayor Hoskinson, Councilman Pool and I attended the meeting of the Lake Water Authority requesting that they maintain the waterway between Lakes Winona and Minnehaha to its its normal depth. After much discussion, the Authority passed a motion authorizing the Lake Water Authority's Engineer to investigate this waterway, and if he believes this work is necessary, the City may immediately proceed with this project. The cost must not exceed $5,000, with the Water Authority paying 50 percent of the project cost and a local match of 50 percent. If this project is approved by the engineer, the authority would pay $2,500, the City $1,250 and residents of Lake Winona, $1,250. I will give a report on the decision of the Authority's engineer at Tuesday's Council Meeting. POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD. The next meeting of the Lake County Pollution Control Board is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Monday, Novem- ber 9, 1981 on the fourth floor of the Old Courthouse in Tavares. Enclosed is an excerpt from the Minutes of the Board's October 12, 1981 meeting that pertains to the City of Clermont. TV ANTENNA TOWER. Enclosed is a letter that Mayor Hoskinson has sent to the Federal Conmiunications Commission in opposition of the proposed 2,000' television transmission tower for Channel 32 in Lake- land. This tower would be located three (3) miles south west of Clermont.

In order to make this program work, we will re— quire assistance from citizens and property owners. 1. Call the police if you see strangers on or near your neighbors' property or home. Be suspicious. Burglars often pose as salesmen, roofers, gardeners, etc. 2. Don't let newspapers, mail or other literature pile up outside your home. 3. Lock your garage doors as well as the doors to your home. Safely store ladders and other equipment that may aid a burgler. 4. Keep your windows secure with locks and bars that fasten both sashes. 5. If you plan to be away from home for a week or more, notify the Police Department. We will be glad to check your home and patrol the area. Also advise your neighbors to keep a check on your property and to call the Police Department should anything look suspicious. 6. Items that are sought by today's type burglar, (gold, silver, personal jewelry, etc.) should be stored in a safe place out of sight. 7. Do not give information to strangers over the telephone. 8. Lock your car or other motor vehicles when parked away from home or in your drive— way at night. Always remove the keys from your vehicles. 9. Do not offer advance information regarding your vacation or business trips to Society/Neighborhood columns. This is an invitation to a burgler. 10. Have someone mow your lawn while you are out of town and if possible, leave a few small lights on in the house. 11. Keep lawn mowers, tools, bicycles, etc. stored in a safe place. Family bicycles should be stored indoors at night when the family is home. All cities and rural areas are having burglaries and larcenies. Law enforcement officers are doing everything possible to provide citizens and tax payers protection. However, we need your help.

Finds 1. (huestion: h7iat Is an "Urban Area"'? Answer: An "Urban Area" is either: (1) an urban place, as designated by the BLlrean of Census, having a population of 5,000 or more and not within .any urbanized area, or (2) an urbanized area designated by the Bureau of Census. 2. Question: What is the difference between urbanized areas defined by the Bureau of Census and the Federal Highway Administration (FHIVA)? Answer: The U.S. Bureau of Census defines an urbanized area as an area which "comprises an incorporated place and adjacent densely settled surrounding area that together has a minimum population of 50,000". (1) The IH{VA defines an urban or urbanized area as an urban place or urbanized area, respectively, as designated by the Bureau of the Census. The boundary is "fixed so as to smooth out irregularities, maintain administrative continuity of peripheral routes, and encompass fringe areas having residential, commercial, industrial, and/or national defense significance". (2) Consideration is also given to transportation linkages and service areas of transit operations. N.B. As the Bureau of Census and FIIIVA both use the same term "Urbanized Area" and its meaning is slightly different, it is cautioned that the user of this term should make certain which definition he is required to use for the specific application. 3. Question: Who is involved in establishing FINA urban (urbanized) areas? Answer: Urban area boundaries are delineated through the combined cooper- ation of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), local authorities and the FHIVA. Areas within the urban area boundary are designated as "urban areas". After mutual agreement has been obtained among the above parties, the FHNA approves the urban area boundary. Before giving the approval to proposed boundaries in urbanized areas of over 200,000, the FIIWA secures the concurrence of the Urban Mass Trans- portation Administration ([ATPA). UDIPA concurrence shall depend upon Transit Authority and Metropolitan Planning Organization (M) endorsement of the proposed boundaries. The Florida Department of Transportation proposes that Transit Authority letters of endorsement be secured for all urbanized areas. I 'Mo M110 will be 010 approving agency ror the local official:; on urban arc❑ maps, following the caadorscment of the 1I110. The State ocpartmcnt or' Transportation, systems t?nvironmental. Data Section, documents the finalized location of the mutually derived boundaries for each specific urban (urbani.zod) area. All other areas outside of the urban area boundaries are "rural areas". 4. Ouestion: flow are Urban Area Beandarie5 expanded? Answer: Urban boundary changes may be initiated by PDOT, .local elected ic?icials of general purpose goverrunent in urban areas, or the Metropolitan Planning Organization la urbanized areas for the following reasons: (1) Boundaries can be expanded .in order to .smooth out irregularities and maintain administrative continuity of peripheral highway routes. (2) An urban area may :include any adjacent area that has, or is developing urban characteristics. "Urban Characteristics" include the following features: Residential, commercial or industrial development; streets and highways with sidewalks and curbs; street lighting, sanitary and storm drainage, facilities. All of these characteristics need not be present in order to justify bo—LmUary expansion. (3) After each decennial census, the Bureau of the Census will designate a new area for its urban area. This will cause a review of all urban and urbanized area boundaries. S. Question: flow long are the approved "Urban Area Boundaries" effective? Answer: Boundaries are effective as long as there is no change proposed y—local or state officials. Boundaries can be changed when the urban characteristics change for the area. Proposed revisions of previously approved urban area boundaries are to be submitted in the same manner as processed initially. 6. Question: What is a PL boundary? Answer: PL funds are federal pass through funds, authorized by Title 23 U S.C., that go to designated M 's for transportation planning. The IM is authorized to spend these inside the PL boundary, which is that area inside or colinear with the study area boundary that is expected to have urban characteristics within the next 20-25 years. . 7. Question: What is a study area boundary? Answer: The study area is the most extensive boundary and includes all t e areas expected to be, urbanized in 20-25 years, but in addition includes additional area based on secondary sources of data, jurisdictional consid- erations, methodologies for data collection and transportation facilities. -2- H. Nustit) n: liow are Fedoral Funds rclatcd to Urban Area Boundnrlos? Ansr,cr: The Fcdural Aid Ili. hrany Act of 1973 ;uul the llrb:ui rrans• $ portirtiun Act of L964 a:; nmended apportion federal monies based upon designated Urban and rural area boundaries. FI VA and UMI'A have adopted, with some amendment, area definitions and criteria established by the U.3. LUrean of Ge115U5. Distribution of the following funds are related to urban area boundaries: (1) Federal Highway Administration Funds category ""4" may be expended on roadways classified Federal Aid Urban (FAU) systems which exist only within the limits of urban area boundaries. Funds in category "RB" may be expended on roadways classified as Federal Aid Secondary (FAS) systems which exist only outside the urban area boundaries. "W funds can he expended within any urban area with urban system, but DOT policy has been to use 'N1" funds only in the urbanized areas. The "M11 funds are further divided into 11-32 and IV-36 categories. Federal Aid Urban System fund allocations (11-36) have been distributed to the urbanized arcs (FHIVA) which exceed 200,000 population. These urbanized areas (FIiIVA) are protected by the 1973 Highway Act, and must receive these minimum allocations. If urbanized area contains a munici- pality with more than 200,000 populations, fair and equitable amount of allocated funds for that urbanized area shall be spent within that municipality. The remaining IN" allocations (W-32) have been distributed to the Districts based on the ratio of eligible urban population (5,000 or more population) to statewide urban population as defined by the "latest Federal" census. This will provide more flexibility to the Districts in that the total district unprotected 'N1" allocation (W-32) could be utilized in a single urbanized area in the District or could be swapped between the Districts. Extending urban area boundaries do not increse the total funds available. (2) Urban %ss Transportation Administration funds indicated in Section 3 of the 1964 Act and in Section 5 of the Amended Act provide for funds to be expended within the limits of the urban areas. Funds referred to by Section 3 are under the discretional control of NMX j based upon application and need for an urban or urbanized area. Section 5 funds are apportioned to "urbanized" areas only (Bureau of Census designated) but may be expended anywhere within the limits of the approved locally established urban boundary. Section 3 funds are to be expended for capital outlay only, -Tu—tSection 5 funds can be used for both capital outlay and operational assistances. 9. Question: Are Federal Funds available for all Public roadways in the State? Answer: Generally, yes. The amount of available funding depends upon the motional classification of the roadway, its federal system designation, and its Location in an urban or rual area. Of course, such funding is a subject to state and federal approval, and contingent upon need, priority and fund appropriation. -3 - W, 0It! st ion: '•At'it. ni I'icc_ahunld he contacted Cot' additional illfnrlmltin❑ con:•crninc ost_ahl i;:hi.nr "IlncMm rlren 130undarics"9 1ns%wr: ror additional inConnation, contact the District manning office of the Department oC Transportation.

It is our understanding that you have had an engineer inspect this building and that he has found it structurally sound. We have also heard that you intend to renovate the building into - apartment units. The site of the Clermont hotel is zoned R-3 multiple family, and its location in relation to Lake Minneola certainly makes it an ideal site for an apartment complex. If the City can be of any assistance to you in this matter, please contact Harvey Nagel of the Building Department. It would be appreciated if you could send to my office a letter on the status of this building as soon as possible. Since the building is presently vacant, with no signs of renovation activity, the City has been considering condemning the building. However, we would like to ensure that you have a reason- able period of time to make any renovations. Thank you for your cooperation, and I look forward to hearing from you.

We are pleased that you are planning to renovate the Clermont Hotel and the City will assist you with any information you may need on this matter. However, it has been one year since the City was forced to close down the Hotel due to safety violations, and no work has been performed to date to - rehabilitate the building to meet the City's Building and Housing Codes. Attached is a list of Housing Code Violations that must be corrected before the building can be occupied. Thu Building code Inspector has declared the Clermont Hotel an unsafe building, and on July 18, 1981 you were given 120 days (to November 18, 1981) to correct these violations. Mr. Buttitta, if your proposed renovations cannot be completed by November 18, you may appeal to the City Council, acting as the Housing Code Board of Adjustment, for an extension of time. The Council can grant such extensions, but only in hardship cases. You may contact me if you wish to appear before the City Council on this matter. We appreciate your continued cooperation.

Because of the lack of room in the back of tte s opp ng center, s ace for loadin and uoloadin has always been a rablem because of the s ort stance et n t7te stores: iTie or g na r veway openings onto Minnehaha Avenue were not wide enou h for all the truck traffic and the curbs and grass were constant y over- run y true s. nee trat time the driveways have been widened to the point where they no longer meet the City's standards, and trucks still overrun the curbsonly not as often. This problem is caused by the tight turn radius,, since there is only thirty (30) feet behind the building, excluding the space occupied by the loading docks. The load - in docks have been damn ed many tiimessb trucks, since there ,. already inadequate space-Tieliind 4l�nn D xx e. 3. CONCLUSION. The present Winn Dixie shopping plaza already has too s ort a rear yard, and an inadequate buffer strip. This has caused problems of unsightliness and trash to the abutting residential proper- ties. In addition, the large driveway openings on Minnehaha Avenue and the loading docks are still damaged by trucks due to the short distance behind the building. All these problems would only be intensified if this variance were granted, unless major changes were made. The only manner in which the above mentioned problems might be overcome would be to require the west three driveways from Minnehaha Avenue to be closed and a six (6) foot tall shadow-box buffer fence installed behind the entire shopping area. We could then require a one-way traffic flow of trucks, using Bloxam Avenue as an entrance and the far east driveway on Minnehaha as an exit. ZONING ORDINANCE.

REYNOLDS PROPERTY: LOTS 300 THROUGH 307 SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50 WINN DIXIE PLAZA LOCATION: CO0RNER721 OF HIGHWAY 50EAST AN50DLOXAM ZONING: C-2 REQUEST: FOR FIVE (5) FOOT PENETRATION INTO THE REQUIRED TWENTY-FIVE (25) FOOT REAR YARD COrZIENTs: The rear yard behind the Winn Dixie store is presently thirty (30) feet, and Mr. Reynolds is requesting permission to construct a ten (10) foot addition to the rear of this store and to the old Sun Dank area in order to install new coolers for the Winn Dixie store. This would leave a rear yard behind the Winn Dixie building of only twenty (20) feet, which would create the following problems: 1. DUFFER STRIP AND TRASH. The rear of this building is already too close to the residential properties located across Minnehaha Avenue. This has created many problems, which have never been completely resolved for these neighbors, as follows: a. Mr golds has never maintained the buffer strip on Minnehaha Avenue as required by his site plan. Attached are letters dating back to 1976 requesting that a landscape buffer be installed. On two occasions (the last less than a year ago) Mr. Reynolds planted small shrubs, but they have all died. b. Trash from Winn Dixie and other stores blowing onto residential lawns has been a problem ever since this shopping plaza was uTilt. This problem is further intensified by.the lack of a buffer strip and proximity to abutting residential properties. Attached are letters from as far back as 1977 discussing this problem. I have had many meetings with Mr. Reynolds and repre- sentatives of Winn Dixie on the trash problem, and in the last few months (particularly since they have been working on plans for the expansion) there have been no major problems at this location. However, on the original site plan for Winn Dixie the dumpsters were enclosed and screened. Winn Dixie changed this arrangement a few years ago and moved a compactor for paper into the screened area and the dumpster was left outside.

Question: What is an "Urban Area"? Answer: An "Urban Area" is dither: (1) an urban place, as designated by the Bureau of Census, having a population of 5,000 or more and not within any urbanized area, or (2) an urbanized area designated by the Bureau uE Census. 2. Question: Miat is the difference between ur'xinized areas defined by the Bureau of Census and the Federal Highway Administration (RHA)? Answer: The U.S. Bureau of Census defines an urbanized area as an area % ich "comprises an incorporated place and adjacent densely settled surrounding area that together has a minimum population of 50,000". (1) The i BVA defines an urban or urbanized area as an urban place or urbanized area, respectively, as designated by the Bureau of the Census. The boundary is "fixed so as to smooth out irregularities, maintain administrative continuity of peripheral routes, and encompass fringe areas having residential, commercial, industrial, and/or national ` defense significance". (2) Consideration is also given to transportation linkages and service areas of transit operations. N.B. As the Bureau of Census and FIBVA both use the same term "Urbanized Area" and its meaning is slightly different, it is cautioned that the user of this term should make certain which definition he is required to use for the specific application. 3. Question: Who is involved in establishing F18VA urban (urbanized) areas? Answer: Urban area boundaries are delineated through the combined cooper- ation of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), local authorities and the F RIA. Areas within the urban area boundary are designated as "urban areas". After mutual agreement has been obtained among the above parties, the FMVA approves the urban area boundary. Before giving the approval to proposed boundaries in urbanized areas of over 200,000, the FFBVA secures the concurrence of the Urban Mass Trans- portation Administration (UDTPA). UNMA concurrence shall depend upon Transit Authority and Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) endorsement of the proposed boundaries. The Florida Department of Transportation proposes that Transit Authority letters of endorsement be secured for all urbanized areas. Mo ` ft) will lie tho approvinq agency for the local nfflclals on Orkin are.1 nips, rollo;ing tho endur_,eniont of the "IPO. The State Department. of Trunsportat ion, Systems I?nviroiunetttal Data Section, documents the finall.zed location of tho mutually derived boundaries for each specific urban (urban izcd) area. N1 other areas outside of the un•ban area hOtndan'iea are "rural areas' tlue:otion: How are Urban Area Boundaries expanded'? Answer: Orban boundary changes may be initiated by PI101', local elected officials of general purpose goverrunent in urban areas, or the Metropolitan Planning Organization in urbanized areas for the following reasons: (1) Boundaries can he expanded in order to smooth out irregularities and maintain atbninistrative continuity of peripheral highway routes. (2) An in -ban area may include any adjacent area that has, or is developing urban characteristics. "Urban Characteristics" include the following features: Residential, commercial or industrial development; streets and highways with sidewalks and curbs; street lighting, sanitary and stone drainage. facilities. All of these characteristics need not be present in order to justify boundary expansion. (3) After each decennial census, the Bureau of the Census will designate a new area for its urban area. This will cause a review of all urban and urbanized area boundaries. 5. Question: [low long are the approved "Urban Area Boundaries" effective? Answer: Boundaries are effective as long as there is no change proposed local or state officials. Boundaries can be chanced when the urban characteristics change for the area. Proposed revisions of previously approved urban area boundaries are to be submitted in the same manner as processed initially. 6. Question: What is a PL boundary? Answer: PL funds are federal pass through funds, authorized by Title 23 U. S.C., that go to designated NIPOIs for transportation planning. The M is authorized to spend these inside the PL boundary, which is that area inside or colinear with the study area bouuidary that is expected to have urban characteristics within the next 20-25 years. 7. (Question: What is a study area boundary? Answer: The study area is the most extensive boundary and includes all t e areas expected to be urbanized in 20-25 years, but in addition includes additional area based on secondary sources of data, jurisdictional consid- erations, methodologies for Lkita collection and transportation facilities. nn. it !6n; are I'cdrr•nl I'tu1ClG ruL•rtad to Ih•ban Area Boundaries? Answer: I'hu Federal ALd Ili ,ivany Act ul' 197:i and the Urban Mass '!'raps- portvrtiun .let of 1964 n:; amended apportion federal monies hosed upon de! i,tnaLett urban and rural urea boundaries. R VA and UMI'A have ndopLed, with some amendment, area definitions and critoria -'stablished by the U.S. Bureau of Census. Distribution of the following Funds are related to urban area boundaries: (1) Federal highway Administration Funds category "M" may be expended on roadways classified Federal Aid Urban (FAIT) systems which exist only within the limits of urban area boundaries. Funds in category "RB" ntay be expended on roadways classified as Federal Aid Secondary (FAS) systems which exist only outside the urban area boundaries. IV funds can be expended within any than area with urban system, but DUl' policy has been to use 'TI" funds only in the urbanized areas. 77re "iM" funds are further divided into IV-32 and IV-36 categories. Federal Aid Urban System fund allocations (11-36) have been distributed to the urbanized arcs (M-AVA) which exceed 200,000 population. These urbanized areas (1lfiVA) are protected by the 1973 highway Act, and must receive these minimttr allocations. If urbanized area contains a munici- pality with more than 200,000 populations, fair and equitable amount of allocated fiords for that urbanized area shall be spent within that municipality. Ilie remaining "DI" allocations (IV-32) have been distributed to the Districts based on the ratio of eligible urban population (5,000 or more population) to statewide urban population as defined by the "latest Federal" census. This will provide more flexibility to the Districts in that the total district unprotected "PI" allocation (I1-32) could be utilized in a single urbanized area in the District or could be swapped between tine Districts. Extending urban area boundaries do not increse the total funds available. (2) Urban Ross Transportation Administration funds indicated in Section 3 of the 1964 Act and in Section S of the Amended Act provide for funds to be expended within the limits of the urban areas. Funds referred to by Section 3 are under the discretional control of Udrr:1 based upon application and need for an urban or urbanized area. Section 5 fluids are apportioned to "urbanized" areas only (Bureau of Census designated) but may be expended anynaherc within the limits of the approved locally established urban boundary. Section 3 funds are to be expended for capital outlay only, l- tit Section S funds can be used for both capital outlay and operational assistances. 9. (hrestion: Are Federal Funds available for all Public roadways in the Statc? Answer: Generally, yes. Tire :unowrt of available funding depends upon the Tu ctional classification of the roadway, its federal system designation, and its Location in an urban or coal area. Of course, such funding is a subject to state :aid federal. approval, and contingent upon need, priority and fund appropriation. -3 nld I:rF:_ ;I,tad for I(Id itiontl_ill ParmcrtLot -, ifUlb.'o I'llllp! r' r.I1111� hlrn� "Ilrhnn .\re:I Romidat'io,"', ._ .. 111st,rr: I'm. .Iddition'd inl'onn:Ition, contact the DI:>tl'ict Planning nl'ricc bitsTi:: Depart ant ul' 'I'r:m.

Mr. I -licks advised that Mr. Clark indicated in an earlier discussion that as long as they continue to mine sand, farming activities will probably not be pursued this year. They will, however, maintain water control in this area. Mr. Wicks added that a separate system is maintained for the tailings and all the water from the sand mining operation, consequently, there is no need to worry about cross -contamination between the two facilities. Ile noted that, discharge to Palatlakaha is basically seepage water from under the dike network and has historically been very similar to the water in the Palatlakaha system. Basis for conductivity reading was discussed briefly. Tile Department recormnended that the variance be renewed for a six-month period. i Motion was made by Mr. Toole, seconded by Mr. Sims, and carried unanimously, that, the Board comply with the recommendation of the Staff to grant a six-month variance extension to E. R. Jahna industries, inc. 3. Cit of Clerwont Mr. George Forbes,City Manager, addressed the Board regarding the City's progress since receiving co nceptu,,l approval from the Board last month of a rapid irrigation lanclspreadiog system. Mr. Forbes advised that the City Council authorized the City Engineer to do a complete study as far as the feasibility of utilizing this method on a site which the City has under option. lie added that it is the City's intention at this tiiae to work with Mr. Wicks on determining the feasibility of this method (or anol.hor appropriate landspreading alternative if necessary); and after receiving final approval from the Board, the MY plans Lo hove_ construction plans drawn up, arrange financing and initiate construction. Questions regarding diking, harvesting of fruit, anticipated over- L flow, test borings and various other aspects of the proposed rapid irrigation landspreading system were discussed. LAT COUNTY POLLUTiOH CONTROL BOARD Regular Monthly -Meeting, October 12, 1981, rant. 4 Upon question from the Board, Mr. Wicks advised that certain segments of the compliance schedule agreed to in the City's DER Temporary Operating Permit have no'. been met, consequently, DER would like to enter into a Consent Agreement specifying a new compliance schedule. Ile added that this Agreement: is now being negotiated; however, he anticipates a considerable amount of cliscussion between DER and the City regarding what, that. Consent Agreement should contain. Mr. Wicks stated that the Staff would have no objection to issuance of a six-month variance extension. Mr. Forbes stated that six months is fine, howover, the City would like to bring their engineering results back to the Board as soon as they are completed for final approval. Mr. Wicks concurred. Motion was made by Mr. Sims, seconded by Mr. Dailey, and carried unanimously, that, a six-month variance extension be granted to the City of Clermont - with engineering results to be brought back to the Board upon completion. B. Reports 1. Department Staff Report: Each Board Member was furnished with a copy of -the Department Activities Summary for September fur review. Resolution: Mr. Wicks advised that the Resolution roquestinq that: the Doaid of County Commissioners consider allowing privdl.c im.lividuals to clump household trash/garbage in the County Landfill free of charge on one day per week had been prepared and read same into Minutes. Motion was made by Mr. Sinis, seconded by Mr. Dailey, and carried unanimously, that, the Board adopt the Resolution as presented. Mr. Toole noted that if the Resolution was adopted by the tiriard of County Commissioners, he felt that it. should be very heavily publicized. Mr. Conant added, since Mr. 17orbes had expressed opposil.ion 10 the allowance of free dumping, that it alsu be noted that this would be for City residents as well as County. CITY OF CLERMON Y P,O. BOX 219 • CLERMONT, FLORIDA 32711 @ PHONE D04/394-4001 October 23, 1901 .Ir. William J. Tricarico Secretary Federal Communication Commission Room 1919 "M" Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20554 „ re: Application of Paid -Florida Telecasters, Inc., for Channel 32 - Lakeland, Florida Dear Mr. Tricarico: It has come to my attention that there is a proposal to construct a 2,000 foot high TV antenna tower, less than three (3) miles south-west of the Clermont City limits. There are many objections to it and I wish to record my opposition. Clermont is situated on the northern edge of the "Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern", which as been officially designated as one of the moot environ- mentally sensitive areas in the entire State of Florida. This greatly restricts our growth potential as far as lands available which can comply with development regulations. A structure of such magnitude located in this area would definitely be detri- mental to orderly growth and development as evidenced by present trends and all future projections. It would also pose an unquestionable safety hazard to air traffic. South Lake County has long been in need of a public airport facility and the proposed location would be in an area that has always been considered as the logical location for such a facility (about three miles to the north). It would also seem much more logical to consider a site closer to Lakeland, which is the area to be served (about 35 miles to the south-west) and which would prob- ably not require such an extremely high and offensive structure. There are other factors involved but, I believe these are among the most obvious and I hope you will give them proper recognition. Sincerely yours, J. )S.

Subject: Budget Amendments Date: November. 6, 1981 The following amendments to the 1981-82 budget are needed for expenditures encumbered in the previous year, but not invoiced until the current year. (1) Public Works Account Number 43.63 - Capital Outlay - Streets and Sidewalks should be increased $29,687. This is money that was budgeted last year for work that will not be completed until the current year. (2) Fire Department Account Number 30.52A - Uniforms - should be increased $348.00 for P.O. 113500, to Jacksonville Fire Equipment Company, and P.O. #4966 to Action Sports Center.

G Memo to: Clermont City Council From: City Manager Subject: Financial Report for 1980-1981 Fiscal Year Date: November 10, 1981 I am pleased to submit to tlae City Council, the Financial Report for the 1980-81 Fiscal Year that ended on September 30, 1981. A summary of the City s Financial condition as shown in thin report is as follows: I. GENERAL FUND i The General Fund budget of the City consists of the Legislative, Legal, Finance and Administration, Code Enforcement, Police, Fire, Public Works, and Spacial Activ- ities accounts. GENERAL FUND REVENUES were budgeted at $899,815; however, $1,064,729 in revenues was actually received. Over fifty percent (50%) of this increase in revenues was derived from interest earnings, and is a direct result of the continued high inter- 4 . est rates. The balance of,the additional revenues was received from State Revenue Sharing, Excise taxes, and the additional Homestead Exemptions Which, na of thin year, are no longer funded by the state.) GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES for the 1980-1981 Fiscal Year was budgeted at $940,621. However, $854,735 was actually spent, or 85,886 dollars less than budgeted. $29,687 of this $85,886 has not yet been spent for street repairs, and has not been transferred to the 1981-82 FY Budget as part of the City's street repair program. As I am sure the City Council is aware, this decrease in expenditures is a direct result of the sound financial management of all City personnel. Monies specifically budgeted for City improvements are only spent when absolutely necessary. In addition, $16,000 was also budgeted for contingencies that were not utilized. The remaining savings resulted from careful purchasing, and a reduction of budgeted gasoline. II. SANITATION FUND The Sanitation Fund budget consists of the funds necessary to operate the City's garbage and trash collection system. REVENUES OF $164,000 was budgeted in this fund, but actual revenues received were $161,735, or $2,295 under the amount budgeted. EXPENDITURES WERE BUDGETED at $161,667, but only $151,169 was spent. The major portion of these savings was from reduced Workers Compensation Insurance and gasoline expenditures. This leaves the cash balance of this fund at a healthy $ 22 739. However, as we dis{c�ussed at our Budget Workshops, this fund is projected to lose approximately nor approved54, in hewe9wi112FY be ueingsthencashreas reserves ofa was pthisdfund. Inaother rwordsease ,as nextforceytheear, Cithe ty tovuseethefrom cash balancecharges of this fundmeet makeeupithe ediffelrence. Pug 2 j Finn c�i(a1 Report for 1980-81 fY Novemb �r 10, 1.981 Enterprise fundu are established to account for operatlonn that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private bunineon enterprises. The intent in to provide the service to the public with the coats financed or recovered through user charges. Due to the long range stagnation of municipal revenues, it will be increasingly important for tho City to ensure that all enterprise funds pay their own wily without a subsidy from general funds. One of the advantages of user charges is they reflect the full cost of providing a service and at the same time w11.1 reflect the demand for these services. 11 residents believe a monthly $7 user fee is too much to pay for a rear yard garbage collection, they may wish to receive an alternative delivery for this service; such as front yard collection at a reduced fee. However, as long as the service is subsidized, there is no incentive or demand for alternatives that could reduce costs. IIl. UTILITY FUND The Utility fund consists of the city's water and sewer services. TOTAL UTILITY FUND REVENUES were budgeted at $616,543, but actual revenues received were $658,605, or $42,062 over the budgeted amount. The majority of this increase in revenues came from the Water Department which received record revenues for water sales due to our severe shortage of rainfall this year. UTILITY FUND EXPENDITURES was budgeted at $603,502, but actual expenditures were $534,737, or $68,765 under the amount budgeted. The majority of the decrease in budgeted expenditures was from the Sewer Department debt service. Only $127,812 was required to be spent on sewer debt service, versus $170,470 budgeted due to high interest rates. The large amount of interest revenues received for our sinking funds allowed the City to reduce its debt service expenditure allocation. The Utility fund payed its own way without any subsidies from the general fund. 'Line entire fund is now in sound financial condition, but an increase in water rates at the end or our 1981-82 FY will he required if the fund is to remain in a solid finan- cial condition. This is due to the fact the the City's 1.7 million dollar Water improvement project will. be completed, which will regntre approximately 000 year in additional debt service payments. IV. REVENUE SRARTNC FUND The Revenue Sharing fund consists of entitlement monies returned to the City by the Federal Covernment which can be used for a wide range of expenditures. This fund is basically used for the capital expenditures as approved by the City Council. This money must be spent within two (2) years after its received. TOTAL REVENUES RECEIVED in this fund were $64,421, and total expenditures were $63,211 Page 3 Financial Report for 1980-81 FY November 10, 1981 Revenue Sharing funds have been approved by Congress until the 1963-84 Fiscal Year. President Reagan is considering reducing these funds by 12%, and then eliminating these funds altogether after the 1983-84 FY. V. CONCLUSION ]'lease note that this 1s an unaudited Financial Report, but the figures shown will be very similar to the audited amounts. Once the City's audit is completed, we will notify the City Council. The City of Clermont is presently in ❑ very strong financial position, but long range financial and capital planning must he constantly conducted to keep the City In a good financial condition. Large expenditures will be required to landspread the City's treated effluent, and to expand the capacity of our Treatment Plant. The City should prepare a ten (10) year street maintenance and Capital Improvment plan to insure that we can meet the long range needs of our community. Revenues to provide essential services, and to keep pace with inflation will become more difficult to find with large reductions planned in Revenue Sharing and Federal Grants and Loans. This combined with the stagnation of municipal revenues, additional --- homestead exemptions, and citizen demand for further tax reductions underscores this fact. Only cities with strong, long range financial planning will be able to survive in the 1980's. Respectfully,
