CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
TENT USE POLICY
City Manager Forbes recommended the following policy be set
for the temporary use of tents for Revivals or Business:
1. The tent must be fireproof.
2. The site must have adequate parking facilities.
3. The use of tent must not create a nuisance for abutting
property owners.
4. Adequate restrooms (i.e. Porta-booths) must be available.
5. The use of tent may not exceed three (3) days.
6. The use of a tent must be confined to commercial or
industrial zoned districts.
7. If any lighting is necessary, a temporary Florida Power
electrical hook-up will be required.
8. The tent activity must be sponsored by an established
business or organization. (local) _
Council consensus was in agreement with this policy.

are managed by Sun Bank, in accordance with a written investment
policy approved by the City. He stated further that, Dr. Fogler,
from the University of Florida has been reviewing the City's
investment policy every other year to analyze our plans and report
to the Council his recommendations. The fee for this service
would be $200 plus mileage. Council consensus was that
Dr. Fogler be hired for this purpose.

GARBAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM.
OLD LIBRARY BUILDLNG.
Tbeaa items were placed on the Council agenda since we need to
make a decision on these matters as coon an possible. We are badly in need of
a new garbage truck, and funds are presently budgeted for a new truck.
The Old Library Building is sitting empty when it could be sold
or leased if the City bus no use for it. Enclosed in your Council packets is
a termite report on the Old Library Building.
BUDGET. We are preaently preparing the budget for the 1981-82
Fiscal Year. Fie should schedule a workshop to be held sometime in mid -June
to review our revenue mul expenditure projections. I would suggest that a
tentative date of Monday, •June 1.5, 1981 at 5 p.m. in the Council Chambers be
set for our first workshop.
BEACH PASSES. Enclosed in your Council packets is a beach pass
for this season. The passes for Clermont residents are now available at City
Hall.
PRECIOUS METALS AND CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD. The City Attorney
will soon complete a proposed Code Enforcement Ordinance which should be ready
for the Councilb review at our second meeting in May. Also, attached is a
letter regarding his research on a "Precious Metals" Ordinance.
UPPER PALATLAKAHA WATER STUDY. Enclosed is the executive summary
of the first Annual Report on the Upper Palatlakaha Water Study. The first
year of the study has been devoted to the collection of data necessary to
develop a Water Management Plan.
BROOME STREET. The City Attorney is investigating the property
ownerships on Broome Street, between 4th and 5th Streets, in order to prepare
the assessment roll. lie will report on this matter to the City Council at
Tuesday's meeting.
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. Enclosed is a letter from DOT
regarding the possibility for placing a traffic signal at our Highway 50 and
12th Street intersection. Their study indicates that a traffic signal can be
justified at this intersection, but is not a critical need. For this reason,
and their financial situation, they are unable to proceed with the installa-
tion of a signal.

201 WASTEWATER FACILITY PLAN. County officials have diucussed
with the cities of Minneola and MonCverdc the possibility of Their partici-
pation in a 201 Wastewater Facilities Plan with Clermont.
As you are aware, entry into the EPA 201 Program and the preparation of n
Wastewater Facility Plan is prerequisite to receiving construction grant monien
from EPA.
However, the Reagan administration is now analyzing this program with an eye
toward reducing the 75% federal uhare, and no longer funding new wastewater
plants necessary due to growth. This would virtually eliminate any benefits
that Clermont could receive from this program. I will keep y
ou rmed on
this matter.
FISHING TOURNAMENT. Some weeks ago many Clermont residents were
upset when a fishing tournament monopolized the boat ramp on Lake Minneola. It
has been suggested that the City require all fishing tournament sponsors pay
a fee to the City for use of the ramp. I look forward to your direction on this
matter.
MIDDLE SCHOOL PARK. We have had many complaints from citizens
residing in the vicinity of the Middle School Park regarding the noise in the
Park late at night. It appears that many young persons play basketball or
otherwise hang out in the Park late at night, and are creating
ihatainuisance
for m
the residential homes that abut the Park. I would suggest
persists, the Council allow on to close this Park at 11 p.m. This could be
accomplished by placing signs in the Park indicating that it is closed at 11 p.m.
This would allow our Police Officers to clear the Park at this time.
PENSION PLAN INVESTMENT REVIEW. The City's Pension Plan funds
are managed by Sun Bank, in accordance with a written investment policy
approved by the City. Our investment policy requires Sun Bank to invest our
Pension Funds under the following guideline.
1. Savings Accounts and Short Term Securities (two year maturity or less)
should be between 0% and 20% of the total market value of the portfolio.
2. Fixed Income Securities (Bonds) should be between 24% and 35% of the
total market value of the portfolio.
3. Common Stocks should be between 40% and 70% of the total market value
of the portfolio, with the 40% to 50% range only being appropriate during
periods of high inflation with correspondingly high interest rates on
U. S. Treasury Bills or Bonds.
Every other year the City hall hired Dr. Russell Fogler from the University
of Florida to analyze our investment policy and the investments purchased
by Sun Bank. His fee is $200 plus mileage. If there are no Council object-
ions, we will hire Dr. Fogler to analyze our plans and report to the City
Council with any recommendations.

POLICY ON TEMPORARY USE OF TENTS FOR REVIVALS OR BUSINESS. The
City Council has requested that the City act a formal policy on the use of tents
for revivals or other business purposes. I would suggest that the following
policy be used by the City for the use of tents in the City limits.
1. 11:e tent must be fireproof.
2. The site must have adequate parking facilities.
3. The use of the tent oust not create a nuisance for abutting
property owners.
4. Adequate restrooms (i.e.Porta-booths) must be available.
5. The use of the tent may not exceed three (3) days.
6. The use of a tent must be confined to commercial or industrial
zoned districts.
7. If any lighting is necessary, a temporary Florida Power electrical
hook-up will be required.
LANDSPREADING ALTERNATIVES. This week, I met with Mark Burgess
and other officials from the Soil Conservation Service on our landspreading site.
They are now designing irrigation system alternatives for our grove that would
I.
include large water guns, low angle sprinklers, and a drip system. They be-
lieve that they could have this work done in about 40 days.

RE: PRECIOUS METALS ORDINANCE,
Dear George:
Confirming our recent conversation, I have put the "Precious Metals" ordinance
on hold after a conference with the County Attorney. Apparently the Board of
County Commissioners is not prepared to adopt this type of an Ordinance without
---- further renearch into its ramifications.
It is my understanding that the legislature is considering a bill dealing with
this subject and I would reconnnend that we await the outcome of this bill.
Very truly yours,

EX1-,,CUTIVI1, SUMMARY
of the
FIRST ANNUAL REPORT
UPPER PALA'PLAKAIIA BASIN COMPREHENSIVE WATER STUDY
OVERVIEW --PURPOSE OF STUDY
The Palatlakaha chain of lakes has some of the best water quality
of any group of lakes in the State. A primary source of water re-
plenishment of these lakes is the Green Swamp via Big and Little
Creeks. The headwaters area drains portions of Polk and Lake
Counties, and is comprised of many acres of swampland, flatwoods
and sand ridges. From the headwaters area, streamflow is in a
generally northward direcL-ion through the chain of lakes in the
Clermont-Groveland aroa and a meandering marsh drainageway prior
to discharging into Lake Barris.
In recent years, much concern has been expressed that man-made
drainage improvements have diverted significant quantities of Sur-
face waters away from their natural northward flow in the head-
waters area, and into the adjacent Withlacoochee River basin. These
actions were thought to have resulted in decreased surface water
flows and adverse impacts on groundwater conditions in the area.
Because of the direct dependence placed on the upper portion of
terms of adequate water
the Palatlakaha basin in supplies for re-
creation, agriculture, groundwater recharge and natural ecological
functions, a real need was determined to exist for a comprehensive
water study.
The ongoing Comprehensive Water Study is in to represent a
detailed investigation of the water resources and associated manage-
ment needs in the easterly portion of the Green Swamp (the Palat-
lakaha Watershed). The overall objective of the Study is the deter-
mination of the most effective methods for accomplishing land and
water management needs in the Study Area so as to provide for the
sufficient availability of water resources. Specific Study oLjec-
tives includes
- Determination of a water budget, based on water quantity
and quality;
- Preparation of a nutrient budget, and an investigation of
the environmental impacts of the nutrient sources;
- Determinations of future potential actions relating to
the management of water quality and quantity; and
- Recommendations, as a component of a Water Management Plan,
when implemented, will assure adequate supplies of
surface and potable waters within the Study Area.
STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION
The Comprehensive Water Study was initiated in October 1979, and
is projected to require three years from start to completion. The
process of conducting the Study involves the resources of nine
different agencies and four local governments.
The first year's work activities were devoted. to the collection
of necessary hydrologic, physiographic, water quality, environmen-
tal. and socio-economic data, and the initiation of data evaluation
activities. The second year's activities will be oriented toward
the completion of data evaluation, data assessment and impact
analysis work, the collection of needed additional information,
and the beginning of the nutrient and water budgets. The third
year's activities will involve the completion of the nutrient and
water budgets, the identification and evaluation of water manage-
ment alternatives, conducting public review meetings, and the pre-
paration of. the Comprehensive Water Management Plan.
REVIEW Or ACTIVITIES
Water Quantity -
A review of water flow data for the period of time from the
beginning of October 1978 to the end of September 1979 indi-
cates the following trends:
- Water levels in the Clermont chain of lakes were very com-
parable, with water levels in Lake Minnehaha (upstream)
maintaining a rather consistent 1/10 of a foot height
difference over Cherry Lake (at the downstream end of
the Lake chain);
- Lake level fluctuations reflected a response to flow re-
plenishment via Big Creek; '
- Water discharges from the Clermont chain of lakes downstream
via the Palatlakaha Creek only occurred on eleven (11)'
days of the 365-day monitoring period (or only 3%
of the time), indicative of low water levels in the
chain of lakes during virtually all of the year -long
period.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that interbasin di-
versions in the headwaters area to the Withlacoochee River
have been operative since 1962. However, additional investi-
gations will be required to determine the extent of diversion
impacts on water resources in the headwaters area.
Eight rainfall monitoring stations have been established in
the Upper Palatlakaha Basin as a component of the Comprehensive
Water Study. Rainfall data is available for the past 35 years
at the U.S. Weather Bureau Station located south of Clermont,
and for periods of six years or less for the other stations.
The mean annual precipitation, based on 35 years of record,
(b) summary of Gi.udtngs -
- pif values varied substantially, and appeared to reflect
marked seasonal variations, as did phosphorus con-
centrations,
- nitrogen concentrations did not reflect significant
trends.
water Use -
Wat-.er uses in the Upper Palatlakaha Basin requires the with-
drawal of nearly 21 million gallons daily for various purposes.
The summary of key findings includes:
- Industrial sources consumed nearly 64% of water withdrawals
in 1979,
- Permitted average annual daily withdrawal volumes represent
an overall gradual increase from the headwaters down-
stream to the lower end of the Study Area,
- Maximum allowable (peak) permitted daily withdrawals de-
crease from the headwaters downstream,
- Number of consumptive use permits decreases from the head-
waters area downstream,
- Highest maximum allowable (peak) permitted daily with-
drawals are located in areas where the withdrawn water
is used for agricultural irrigation purposes.
Land Use and Vegetation -
Agricultural land uses (pastureland, rangeland, citrus groves
and truck crops) occupy the majority of the land area, forest -
lands and wetlands representing the next -largest category,
followed by residential, commercial and industrial land uses.
Soils The soils in the Study Area range from very poorly drained
organic mucks to exceptionally well drained sands. The
majority of the soils are acidic, which influences the
chemical nature of the lakes and streams in the watershed.
Attention was also directed toward subsurface soil character-
istics in terms of water movement. Key findings of the in-
vestigation include:
- Water percolates downward through the soil layers to the
top of the underlying clay layer, and then flows later-
ally above the clay layer to the nearest lake, stream
or sinkhole,
- During normal rainfall conditions, subsurface water move-
ments are expected to occur from May to October,
- Subsurface lateral water flows are intermittent, occurring'
only during and after periods of heavy rainfall,
l
is 51.57 inches. On a monthly average basis, current (1/1/00-
10/28/80) rainfall. measurements represent a 9.77 inch deficit
in rainfall under the mean average.
Water Quality -
Sur.face water quality monitoring work has been performed by
several agencies, with the bulk of the sampling and laboratory
analysis work being done by the Lake County Pollution Control
Department. A nummary of water quality -related activities
are as follows:
(a) Agencies involved in campling_act.ivities -
- Lake County Pollution Control Department -
G stations in headwaters area upstream of
Lake Louisa,
5 stations along the chain of lakes,
- 8 stations in the Southwest Marsh,
analyzed samples for 12 different parameters.
- U.S. Geological Survey -
- ongoing monitoring activities at several stations.
- Florida Department of Environmental Regulation -
biological assays at A stations on Big and Little
Creeks.
(b) Summary of Findings -
- Chain of lakes contain soft, clear, acid waters with
comparatively low quantities of nitrogen and phos-
phorus;
- Big and Little Creeks appear to have naturally balanced
ecosystems;
- Fluctuations in water quality parameters in Little
Creek have impacts on the diversity of biological
species found in the Creek.
Air Quality Facts on Water Quality-
(a) Monitoring Activities -
- 2 rainfall quality measurement stations
- 7 water quality parameters analyzed
- Amounts of subisur.f.aco water flows fluctuate, depending upon
amounts of jtainfall and antecedent conditions,
- During a wet ,year, up to 20-30" of subsurface runoff may
be expected to occur over the entire 12-month period,
- Subsurface water moves at different velocities through the
various soil, layers.
Drainage PeaL•ures -
The northward flowing PalaLlakaha drainage system was created
as a result of lA ncar. beach ridges being formed as prehistoric
seas receded toward present-day levels. Efforts have been
undertaken to modify the natural drainage patterns in order
to expedite the flow of triter, thus providing for better
drainage in low-lying areas. ❑owever., the placement of drain-
age structures such as road culverts have al.so served as
flow retardants and interfere with the flow of• surface water.

Re: Section 11070 - SR 50 at SR 561
Dear Mayor Hoskinson:
We have completed our study of the intersection of SR 50 and SR 561 in
Clermont.
The results of the study indicate that a traffic signal can be justified
but it is not a critical need.
Due to our present financial situation we are unable to proceed with the
installation of this signal. We do plan to keep the location in mind for
consideration, if funding becomes available.
We also reviewed the area just west of SR 561 at the entrance to Emerald
Lakes Mobile Home Park. The speed limit of 45 MPH is reasonable and sight
distance is good both east and west. The accident record for the location
is not bad and the turning volume is very low. A 2 hour count showed 6 and
9 vehicles respectively turning left westbound into the Park. Eastbound
right turn volume was even less.
Based on these factors we are unable to justify any changes on SR 50 at the
entrances to Emerald Lakes. We would be willing to review the location in
the future as traffic conditions show the need.

ECONOMIC COMMENT
May, —1181
A now "explosion" in interest rates over the past two weeks has increased the
likelihood that economic activity will slow dramatically from the surprisingly
strong performance of 1981's first quarter.
1, Real GNP grew at an annual rate of 6.5% during the January through March
period as auto sales and exports surged. By the end of April, however,
domestic auto sales had retreated to levels reminiscent of last Spring's
lows. This confirmed that much of the first quarter's strength in sales
was "borrowed" from second quarter as rebates induced many consumers to
buy now rather than later.
2. The housing sector showed marginal improvement in March as Housinq Starts
rose 5.8% after February's precipitous 27% drop, and New Home Sales
struggled upward by 0_6% following three consecutive decTfnes. Unfortunately,
the recent spurt in interest rates, accompanied by an increase in the FHA
rate ceiling from 14; to 15�%, will preclude any sustained improvement in
the housing market.
3. While increases in consumer spending added significantly to growth in
first quarter, spending habits are showing some moderation. Preliminary
indications suggest that the savings rate rose a bit during April, while
April Retail Sales fell by 1.0% due to the above -mentioned declines in
Auto Sa es.
A. Inventories continued to expand somewhat during February and March. Over-
all Business Inventories rose 1_1% in February - an acceleration from
January s 0. % growth. In March, Manufacturer's Inventories jumped by
0.8% - theirrourth consecutive monthly rise. While these increases
are in no way excessive, they do seem to indicate a trend toward growth
that must be somewhat unsettling at a time when final consumer demand seems
to be weakening.
5. Elsewhere, April Unern loyment remained unchanged for the second month in
a row at 7.3%. Employment grew to 99.0 million. Leading Indicators rose
1.4% after se stemmithree declines with a large part of the ncreang from
the recent decontrol of oil and gas prices. Finally, Construction Spending
suffered its second strdight dip falliny 2� in March.
The good n.ws this month, at long last, is found on the inflation front. All of
the recently released inflation statistics show the rate of inflation moderating.
During the first quarter, the GI1P Deflator rose by only 7.81. vs. 10.7. the
quarter before. I•larch's Consumer Price Index rose by only 0.6% (7 T annually),
and April's Producer Price Index slowed to a 0.8n growth rate 9.6% annually).
The big surprise this year has been in Farm Prices which have declined for four
consecutive months - the latest decrease being U_4 during April. These price
declines at the farm level, while of particular concern to farmers, have helped
offset increases in food distribution costs and have resulted in a much slower
rise in retail food prices than most experts had predicted back in December and
January. While food prices may soon be on the rise again - especially meats -
and poultry, energy prices have recently begun to decline slightly as a world-
wide oil glut has forced oil producing countries to temporarily lower their per -
barrel changes for crude.
TIIE RECEIIT RISE ill IRTERESTYTES:WHY?
After falling front their record highs in December, interest rates are on the rise
again. With economic activity apparently weakening, many investors are wondering
why the money markets on the Federal Reserve are under pressure to push rates even
higher. While the answers to this question are indeed complex, there are certain
observations and explanations which can be offered.
One of the linchpins of the. Reagan Administration's economic policy is:strict control
by the Federal Reserve over the growth of money supply. In general, the Fed
implements this policy by controlling the availability of loanable reserves to the
tomeettheirmownFaced demandsth a for fundseandgbyuthis mechanof ism,interestrratestscramble
increase.
Beginning in late March, money supply growth increased dramatically. Soon, the level
of M1B had broken through the upper level of the Fed's target'range (see diagram
line
withVtitsnd was targets, the9Fedill hadhto act swiftly. Theher. In order to bresponseewasrowth back essentiallyntwo-
fold:
1. The discount rate was raised a full point to 141W and the surcharge for frequent
borrowers was also raised from 3% to 4%. This means that large banks which are

order to maintain their interest rate spread.

2. Secondly,

:his has the direct effect of reducing the supply of loanable funds to the banks
-
:nd ultimately to consumers. Because the creation of loans adds directly to
.he money supply, decreasing the ability of financial institutions to make loans
will enable the Fed to slow monetary growth.
While it is certainly too early to tell whether or not the Fed's .latest battle against
excess money growth will be successful, the M1B decline of $3.6 billion during the
week of April 29 was a welcome sign to the credit markets, which were once again
beginning to call into question the Fed's
resolve in meeting its targets.

Memo to: Clermont City Council
From: City Manager
Subject: Amendment to Option on Landsprending Site
Date: May 21, 1981
The City presently has an option on approximately 65 acres of
land owned by the Inland Groves Corporation, and C. M. Pool 6 Sons,
Inc.
The present option expires on July 31, 1981, and requires the City to:
1. Purchase 30 acres of land by July 31, 1981.
2. 15 acres must be leased by July 31, 1981, and may be
purchased after November 1, 1981.
3. We have an exclusive option to purchase an additional
20 acres for 5 years. The option price is $7,000 per acre.
Since we will not have FmHA financing for this project by July 31, 1981,
it is in the City's best interest to extend this option.
The attached "Amendment to Contract For Sale" would give the City
an additional 18 months to exercise its option, or until December 1, 1982.
In return, the City must immediately purchase 10 acres to show our good
faith.
I would recommend that the City approve of the amendment, and immed-
iately purchase 10 acres of the grove from Inland Groves Corporation.
The monies for this purchase would come from the Capital Improvement
Fund.
Respectfully,

Dear Mr. Forbes:
In an effort to enhance Lake Correctional Institution's pro-
cedures for the prevention and prompt control of fire it is
requested that the City of Clermont provide fire protection
service and fire inspection of the facility by a qualified
authority at least semi-annually.
The facility has the availability of fire hoses and fire ex-
tenquishers; however, this is the extent of our fire equip-__
ment. Also, the State Fire Marshall inspects our institution
annually, but our accreditation policy requires semi-annual
inspections.
I trust the above explanation provides you with sufficient in-
formation to render a decision concerning our request.
Assuring you of our continued cooperation in matters of mutual
concern.

Subject: Lease of Fire Truck
Date: May 22, 1981
Attached is a letter from the South Lake Fire Control District. The
district is requesting to lease one of the City's fire trucks for
approximately two months at a rental fee of $100.00 a month.
As you may be aware, the South Lake Fire District is less than a year
old, and is now organizing its fire department.
They have purchased a new fire truck which should arrive in a few
months. until that time they would like to lease the City's 1952 GMC
pumper. They would use the fire truck primarily as a training vehicle. -
I would recommend that the City enter into a formal lease agreement
with the South Lake Fire District for the GMC pumper, under the condi-
tion that they insure this vehicle, store it under cover, pay all fuel
and associated costs, and return the vehicle in its present condition
or pay for all repair costs.
