MINN1i01.A POLIC_I: pli01'1{CTLON. BncLosed is a letter to the City of hllunrula regarding their request Io contract for Police Services from the City of ClermonL. I hellCVe LhaL if we wish to contract for services at all, the hest action for both CLtles would be for Minneol❑ to provide their own Police ProtecLLon from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. This would give Minneola the advantage of retaining the Identity of their Police Department and allow them to handle their own Code Enforcement Complaints. In this manner Minneola would also have tho fl.exlbillty of determining the exact number of officers they wish to hire, which could fluctuate depending on the season or their financial position. Chief 'fyndal and myself believe that the only practical method of allowing Minneola to contract services from Clermont would be during the 12 p.m. to 8 n.m, shift. During most of this time, the City of Clermont has only one officer on duty, and we could hire ;in additional officer (for which Minneola could reimburse us for approximately 507 of the costs) to patrol property in Minneoln and Clermont. Plcasc rofor to the enclosed letter for more details. The City of t•linneola has also requested a proposal for contracting services from the County Sheriff. BOND ISSUE AND CAPITAL 1till ItOVBtHiN'T FUND. The City's 1972 Special Assessment Bonds (Snnftnry Sewage Improvement Certificates) matured on April 1, 1981. Those bonds were established to pay for the installation of the sewer lines for our 'Treatment Platt. The City still has $381,567 in the Bond Account from Lhis issue, even though all the Bonds have been paid. If there are no Council ob_}eetions, the City's policy is to transfer these monies Into the Capltrtl lmpruvemonts Fund which will then have it balance of $441,567. Pnge 2 Weekly Memo April 10, 1901 Bond Isnne and Capital Improvement fund (continued) The Capitol Improvement Fund was first established In March of 1977 to be used only for Utility r•apital fill) rovemests, funds ftrec placed in thls account from the loan closing of the City's L976 Bond Issue. Willie this som may luolc substantial, it will be greatly needed for future sower Lnprovemcntn and to cover the casts of depreciation over the next fLve (5) yearn. 14xampleo of Utility Improvements tlrat could be purchased from this fund in tha near future include the purchase Of Odophus 'r:joks, wet 'raps for our Lift - stations, and a Sewer Jet Cleaner. ,r PROCLAMATION. 1nelosed Is a Proelama Lion from Mayor Ilookinnon, declnring the weak of April 19 through 24th, "Private Property Week."

I have proposed a settlement of $750.00 which is the appraised value of the trees. I will need Council approval in order to finalize this settlement.

Forbes City Manager City Hall P. 0. Box 219 Cle'rmonL, Florida 32711 RE: SMITH vs. CITY OF CLERMONT Dear George: Pursuant to your request, herewith is a summary of the issues involved in the Smith case. Mr. Smith granted an casement to the City in 1971 for the construction of the sewer system. The easement was conditioned on the City being responsible for damage caused to the property during construction. Apparently there was considerable damage to citrus trees during construction (see attached appraisal). The City's records reflect a continuing line of communication from Mr. Smith for payment, but apparently no payment was ever made. Mr. Smith's attorney contacted me in May, 1979, requesting payment (see attached letter). I investigated the matter and no action was taken until November of 1979 when Mr. Smith filed the suit. After several preliminary matters were disposed of by the Court, the issue was scheduled for pretrial conference in December, 1980. Prior to the hearing, Smith's attorney indicated he would settle for $750.00. In view of the original demand for $3,500.00 and in view of the possible liability for damage to the trees, lost income on the fruit, attorney fees and court costs, I felt this was a reasonable settlement.

City of Clermont Clermont, Florida 32711 Dear Mayor Iloskinson and City Council Members: Please accept this letter as my resignation from the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Clermont. I have enjoyed working with the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the City Council for several years. My only hope is that I gave to the City as much as I learned from this experience. However, since I am now involved in several other matters, such as our Village Square Association, I believe that I can no longer devote the time necessary for the Commission. I appreciate your confidence in me by reappointing me to another two (2) year term on the P. & Z. I am confident that future efforts of the City Council, and Planning and Zoning Commission will ensure that our City remains an outstanding community to live and work. Thank you for your consideration. j! Sincerely, �. . Laura Cook LC:pm CITY OF CB..ERBl1BONT P.O.

You may recall in September of 1980, I presented to your Council a report regarding the various advantages and disadvantages of contracting for Law Enforcement. Another copy of thin report is enclosed for your review. 11nis report points out the key factors that determine the failure or success of contract law enforcement. These factors are citizen accep- tance, and the expectations of both the contracting local government and the government that is providing the services. It also discusses some of the jurisdictional and State law problems that are unique to a mu- nicipality contracting services,which must be considered before any for- mal contract could be considered. In reviewing the needs of the City of Minneola, I would offer the follow- , ing suggestions on the possibility of contracting services with the City of Clermont:' I. POLICE PROTECTION MINNEOLA WOULD PROVIDE. The City of Minneola could still retain its Police Department by hiring two or three full time employees who would be responsible for patrolling from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. This gives your City the advantage of retaining the identity of your Police Department and would also assist you with various code enforcement complaints. I'm sure you can understand the difficulty that our Police Deport- ment could have trying to enforce different Ordinances in our separate Cities, Under this arrangement, the County would still dispatch for your City. Pago 2 Contracting for Police Protection April 6, 1981 II. POLICE. PROTECTION CLERMONT WOULD PROVIDE. '11le City of Minneoln would contract from the City of Clermont for Police Protection between the hours of 12 p.m. and 8 a.m. This would insure that your City has 24 hour a day protection. I believe such an arrangement would be the most economical for your City. You would only be paying for part of Lhe costs of one Police Officer and avoiding the extra costs (you would not be receiving the services) of in- vestigation, dispatching and overhead that would result if you were to con- tLct for all police services with our City. This arrangement also allows your City the flexibility of determining the exact number of officers you wish to hire, which could fluctuate depending on the season or. the City's financial position. CONCLUSION. The purpose of this letter is to present the City of Minneoln with one - -- possible method of contracting for police services. This is not a formal proposal, but a conceptual approach that must be further analyzed by both Cities, if you believe that this concept has merit. The City Council of the City of Clermont has taken no formal action on this matter. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF PROPERTY USE OLD COOPER MEMORIAL LIBRARY BUILDING 630 DeSoto Street City of Clermont Prepared By Nick Jones, Architect and George D. Forbes, City Manager Appraisal By John Rocker 11RAS I B I IATY STUDY 0F PR012',RTY USF 0I,1) Coolll:It "IF,MOIt[At, 1,1BRARY BUILDING pURPOSF: The purpose of tills Report is to investigate alternatives for the use of a Clty owned bulldl.ng that wait formerly used an the Cooper Memorial Library. I. PROpER'1'Y. The City of. Clermont presently ban clear title to the Old Cooper Memorial Library Building located at 630 Desoto Street. Phis property consl.ats of Lots 18, 19, 20 and the West 50' of Lots 5 and 6, City Block 76, City of Clermont (see attached map). I1. LOCATION AND ZONING. The property is Zoned C-2, Central Businesn Dlstrict, which allows for full scale retail, office, and service uses. It is located three (3) blocks North of Ilighway 50, between Lake and Seventh Streets on the North Side of Desoto Street. III. CONDITION OF BUILDING. 'file buildings total square footage is 2,124 square feet. This property is a single story building. The original Library was built in 1914, and is of frame construction with a metal roof. This portion has 642 square feet and because of its age and condition, is near the end of it:; remaining economic life. ' The inside has been partially remodeled with a drop ceiling, flourescent lighting and equipped with central. air and heat. --- A Single story concrete block addition was added in 1954. Later in 1974, two more additions were made as well as a new rest -room facility. Like the original portion, this building is built above ground and has a crawl space. The roof is of asbestos the and lion gutters and downspouts with aluminum soffits around the eaves. The inside finish is a mixture of paneled and painted walls, dropped ceilings, acoustical tile and painted plaster, and the floors have wall to wall carpet. The outside is ade- quately landscaped, but has no paving in the parking area. IV. VALUE OF BUILDING AND LAND. According to an appraisal on this prop- erty completed by John L. Rocker of Rocker Realty, the value of this parcel is as follows: Land Value $25,025 New Building Value 35,152 Old Building Value 3,582 'Dotal Value $63,582 V. ALTERNATIVES. The City has three (3) basic alternatives for the use of this land as follows: A. SELL THE PROPERTY. If the City believes that it has no present or future use of this property, then it could be sold at a Public Sale with the asking price of $63,582. This money could then go into the City's General Fund. ADVANTAGES OF THIS ALTERNATIVE: If the City is not going to use the property, it can receive funds for the operation of the City and avoid the operating and maintenance costs of this building. A. SliLivTHE PROPIiR'17 (continued) DISADVANTAGE: 'Cho parcel would be forever lost for public use. B. LE SC THE PROPERTY. Since the building Ls located in n Central 8uni- nesn Distriet Zone, the City could lease the building. This land in not located in the more heavily traveled business streets such no Eighth or Montrose, no it would probably not be well suited for retail services. However, It could possibly be utilized successfully as an office building. AUVAN'1'ALL,S: By renting the building the City would be getting some return for its Investment, and still avoid the costs of operating the building. The land could also still be used by the City for public use !It a future date. DISADVANTAGES: 'Tile City would still be responsible for the exterior maintenance of the building. As discussed above, the old original per - tion of this building is in a poor state of repair due to age and termites. C. PUBLIC USE OF BUILDiNC. This property could be used for public use in two ways: (� CIVLC USE: 1laere is much demand in Clermont for meeting space for Service Clubs, dances and other Civic functions. Jenkins Auditorium in heavily used and this building could fulfill a useful purpose. ADVANTAGES: A new building for Civic purposes that would benefit - Clermont residents. DISADVANTAGES: This would add another building to the City's in- ventory in which the City would be responsible for the operating and maintenance costs. operating and maintenance costs are estimated at $5,000 to $8,500 per year for this building, depending on how heavily it is used. The City would also be forced to hire another custodian to assist in maintaining the various City buildings. (2) USE AS A CITY HALL. This building could be renovated and utilized as a site for a new City Hall. This would require the City to sell its present City hall site on Highway 50, and the City would also be re- quired to remodel the Old Library Building If the City were to move into the old Library Building, the old wing (see attachment A) should be removed and the existing building remodeled. i ADVANTAGES: 'File City can realize the most building per square foot of cost, and design the interior specifically for City Hall use. The City would be able to keep costs to a minimum and move into the new building quickly. The remodeled Library Building, even without the new wing has approxi- mately 1,482 square feet compared to the present 1,100 square feet currently being used by the City. '111e sale of the present City stall should more than offset the*cost of remodeling the old Library building. Moving into the old Library, and selling the present City Hall is more cost effective than paying for the maintenance and operating costs of both buildings. - 2 - IIALL ADVAN'I'AG.L; (c(it tinuad) '11:c City would al.ao be able to better centralize its facilities (nee Attachment It) by having Jenkins AudLtorium, City hall, and the Should the City occupy thin old Library, Library in clone proximity. further land acquisition of land to the rear on Montrone would give acceuti from Montrosu Street and provide enough land for the long term growth of the City.

BOX 210 • CLERMONT, FLORIDA 32711 • PHONE 904/394A091 Memo to: Clermont City Council From: City Manager Subject: Lake Dot Development - Utility Benefit Fees Date: April 7, 1981 Attached is a letter from Nick Jones requesting to be placed on the Council Agenda to discuss the Utility Benefit Fees for the Lake Dot Development. BACKGROUND. You may recall that the purpose of the Utility Bene it Fees are to require new construction to pay the full cost of sewer and water services demanded by growth. These -- fees must go into a special fund that can only be used to defray the costs of water and sewer system improvements required due to an expanding population. The City Council adopted an ordinance requiring all new construction to pay a Utility Benefit Fee before a building permit could be issued on August 26, 1980. However, this ordinance did not take effect until October 1, 1980. This means that all permits issued for new construction before October 1, 1980 were not required to pay the Utility Benefit Fees. However, as the October 1st deadline approached, it presented the City staff with some minor problems. What would we do with permit applications received before October 1, 1980 but could not be reviewed and given final approval by the City until after this date? To avoid any undue confusion or conflicts, we set a policy that if the City received applications that contained all the necessary plans and fees before October 1, 1980, we would date the building permits the day of the application and give each applicant 180 days to begin construc- tion. If no construction commenced within 180 days, the building code specified that the permits expire, and the Utility Benefit Fees would then be required if the owner still wished to build at a later date. In this manner, persons who wished to build would not be penalized by City review procedures, and the issuance of building permits on speculation to avoid the fees would also be eliminated. Page 2 Utility Benefit Fees Memo April 7, 1981 LAKE DOT DEVVLOPm,NT. On September 29, 1980, representatives of the Lake Dot DcvelojT1i nt paid for building permit fees and presented the necessary building plans and preliminary site plans to the City. At this time it was carefully explained by Mr. Nagel and I that construction must commence within six months or the permits would expire, and Utility Benefit Lees would be required to be paid. It was also discussed that the City would review the site plan, make comments and that a final site plan must be approved by the City, before construction can begin. Final site plan approval before construction is requirod for all multi -family developments. During the past five months, the developers of this project were reminded on numerous occasions that we must receive their final site plans and construction commence by the end of March. Early in March of 1981, the City received the final site plan for this project. The plan was reviewed and on March 10, 1981 a letter was sent to the developers regarding the site plan. This letter specifically pointed out that the permits for this project expired at the end of the month. I also personally reviewed the letter with Mr. Jones in his office, and carefully explained that construction must begin by the end of the month or the Utility Benefit Fees would be required. The final site plan was approved by the City in March, but construction did not begin. On April 1, 1981 I informed the developers that the 180 days had expired, and Utility Benfit Fees must now be paid. The developers are appealing this decision. Respectfully, ��)) George D.

The Plat has been amended to ensure that there is 100' at the building setback line on Lot 3. You may be aware that• for some months we have been working with the Dicksona to ensure that they plat this small subdivision on the South Side of Lake Winona. Some months ago, Mr. U'ickson sold lots to persons in this area without going through the City for subdivision approval, and violated the State law and City Ordinance. To complicate matters further, some of the lots that Mr. Dickson previously sold did not meet the City zoning regulations and we also have a large six (6) inch water main that was constructed through one lot. After many discussions with Mr. Dickson and his attorney, we would now recom- mend that this plat be approved. All of: the platted lots meet the requirements of the City Subdivision Ordin- once. In addition, since this is a Class I Subdivision ( a subdivision that does not require public improvements), the Dicksons are requesting that the City waive the requirement of dedicating 5% of the land area or money in lieu of dedication. The City has made similar waivers for small Class I Subdivisions. Respectfully,, % /� 1 1k George D. Forbes City Manager GDF:pm r ARTHUR [. II01HEnTl WILLIAM 0. LAW, JH. JULIA R.

Two (2) bids were received for the note. Sun first National Bank of Lake County proposed to purchase the note at par at an annual. percentage rate of 9.000%. The other bid received was from William R. hough & Company for n purchase at par value at an annual percentage rate of 10%. Bough Company also f:ootnoeed that if the City would obtain a "Mig 1" rating from Moody's Investors Service, '[tic., they would purchase the notes at a 9.000% rate. (lough Company's bid is a non -conforming bid due to their stated condition that their bid is subject to the notes being non -callable. It should be noted that in the initial proposals of December 15th, the Sun Bank proposed a direct loan to the City at an interest rate of 60% of prime over the life of the note. For this option to be advantageous to the City, the prime rate would have to'average 15% or lower over the period of construction. The prime would probably dip below this point in the next few months, but as to whether it will level out or start back up is anyones guess at this point. Enclosed are copies of both bids received along with -the Resolution of Award. RECOMMENDATION. If the City Council believes that it is in our best interest to go ahead with a Bond Anticipation Note instead of a direct loan with a variable rate based on prime, I would recommend that the low bid from Sun Bank be accepted.

Rozar, t Memo to: Clermont City Council From: City Manager Subject: Dickson Shores Plat Date; March 19,1981 Enclosed is the Dickson Shores Plat for ,your final approval. You may be aware that for some months we have been working with the Dicksons to ensure that they plat this small subdivision on the South side of Lake Winona. Some months ago Mr. Dickson sold lots to persons in this area without going through the City for subdivision approval, and violated the State law and City Ordinance. To complicate matters further, some of the lots that Mr. Dickson previously sold did not meet the City zoning regulations and we have a large six (6) inch water main that was constructed through one lot. After many discussions with Mr. Dickson and his attorney, we would now recommend that this plat be approved. All of the platted lots meet the requirements of the City Subdivision Ordinance. In addition, since this is a Class I Subdivision (a subdivision that does not require public improvements), the Dicksons are requesting that the City waive the requirement of dedicating 5% of the land area or money in lieu of dedication. The City has made similar waivers for small Class I Subdivisions. George D. Forbes City Manager Romc:RTs & LAW ATTonNGY6 AT LAW MAIN AT CNCIINY QROVI:LAND, PLOIIIDA 32700 j..

Waiver of the requirement for a contribution of Five Percent of land area (or a commensurate monetary contribution) is hereby requested for this subdivision. The reasons for such waiver are: a) Subdivision is extremely small in area and is served by an exist- ing dedicated street. b) No additional facilities of any nature will be required from the City of Clermont to serve such subdivision now or in the future. c) The City has already, without benefit of easement, installed a water line across a portion of the subdivision. Your submission of this request for waiver and approval of plat to the Council will be appreciated. S'i erel , ARTHUR E. ROBERTS AER/mr Memo to; Clermont City Council From: City Manager Subject: Request for installation of water line and septic tank. Date: March 19, 1981 You will recall that at our February 24, 1981 council meeting the City Council denied a request by Jay VanderMeer to construct a commercial build- ing with a septic tank and private we11. (See memo dated February 20, 1981) Mr. VanderMeer has reconsidered this request and is now willing to connect this building to the City water system, but still wishes to be allowed a septic tank. I SEWER SERVICE: Since the City sewer service was constructed, the City has, in a few nstances, allowed private septic systems to be installed, but only for single commercial buildings in areas where sewer service is not feasible or available. Chapter 25 of the City Code of Ordinances states that septic tanks may be installed and used in the City limits, in areas where the city does not furnish sewer facilities, until such time that such service becomes available. Of course, a sewer system can be installed and made available anywhere in the City if enough -funds are obtained for lift stations and sewer lines. In general, the City has defined inavailability of a sewer - as: 1. An area where a lift station is necessary. (This area would not require a lift station.) 2. An isolated building that is over 400 feet from a sewer line. (The building itself is over 1,000 feet from a sewer line.) The City Subdivision Ordinance requires all new subdivisions to be con- nected to the City sewer and water service. II. WATER SERVICE: Mr. VanderMeer is willing to connect to the City water system. However, he prefers to have an 8-inch line con- structed only to the Southeast corner of his property on Grand Highway. (See attached maps.) He would then construct a private 2 inch line from the meter to his building until the entire tract is developed. III COMMENTS: The City Water Study requires an 8 inch main to be constructed from the Grandview Apartments to the Citrus Tower. Utility line extensions are also required to be constructed from one end of a prop- erty to another to ensure that when the abutting property is developed, the line can be extended. The City Ordinance also requires the City to pay for the cost of any oversized lines necessary to provide for future development. IV ALTERNATIVES: SEWER. (1) The City could deny the request for a Septic System and set a policy requiring all new construction to hook up to the City Sewer System unless a lift station is required. (2) The City could grant the above request on the condition that the owner sign a coven- ant that he understands, if more than one building is placed on the property, it will be subdivided and connected to the City sewer system. -2- V WATER CONNECTION: (1) The City could require the 8-inch line to be constructe across Mr. VanderMeer's entire property. Ile could then connect a service line from this 0-inch main. (2) The City can construct a water main 220 feet to the Southeast property line (at Mr. Vandermeer's cost), install a meter, and allow a 2-inch service line to the proposed commercial building. Mr. Vandermeer would also be required to sign a covenant that if more than one building is constructed on the property, the 8-inch line will be constructed across the property.

The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a building permit is: Proposal site plan indicates five (5) foot penetration into twelve (12) foot required side yard on corner lots, plus a seventeen (17) foot penetration into the required twenL•y-five (25) foot rear yard. My appeal to your Board is based on my contention that this decision creates a hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons: Our request for a variance is to enable us to erect a modern building to replace an old, original hot dog stand that has lien added to several times in the past. This will permit us to operate our business as usual and give the property an elegant face-lifting. Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor- mation are attached hereto, on paper size %" x 14" minimum size. I submit that I qualify for this variance because I have an exceptional and unique hardship on my particular parcel of land that is not shared by property owners in my area. A strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives me of the reasonable use of my land and the granting of this variance will not alter the essential character of the area. I have been notified that this Variance Application must be filed with the City Clerk no later than 5:00 P.M, on Friday, two (2) weeks prior to the Council meeting at which time Variance will be considered.

You may recall that for soma years we have been considering paving Broome Street between 4th and 501 Streets, which is the only unpaved open street in the City of Clermont. over two years ago, the City held a Public Bearing on this matter, and con - eluded that the street should be paved, with one third of the costs to be borne by the City and two thirds by the abutting property owners. Money to pave this street was included in the 1979-80 fiscal Year Budget, but the construction was postponed for two reasons. First, the City Attorney stated that before a formal Special Assessment Resolution could be adopted for this project, final plans and specifications must be completed. Second, the preliminary construction costs estimated bytileCity Engineer exceeded the amount budgeted. In last year's budget session, it was decided thnt the street would only be graded and compacted in a manner to minimize the inconvenience to the residents along Chia street. However, at a Council Meeting last December, Mr. Jones asked the City to construct the street, and the City Council requested the City Engineer to draw up final plans and specifications. The City Engineer has estimated the costs of this project to be $39,855. If the Council wishes to proceed with this project, the City Council would be required to pass a budget resolution to pay for the entire project costs out of the City's cash reserves. Two thirds of this money would then be repaid to the City by a special assessment district. The City must also adopt a resolution declaring Special Assessments, pre- pare and publish an assessment roll, and set an Equalization Board hearing on the Assessments before this process can be completed.

Odophus is a chemical that we place in our wnstc treatment• system primarily to control hydrogen sulfide, (which corrodes lines) and to assist in the removal of phosphates.
