REGULAR MEETING
A Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was held in the
Council Chambers on Tuesday, January 14, 1975. The meeting was called to order
at 7:35 P. M. by Mayor Claude E. Smoak, Jr., with the following members present:
Councilmen Blackburn, Byrd, Schroedel and Oswalt. Other officials present were:
City Manager Hopkins, City Controller Fleming, City Attorney Vason, Director of
Community Services Smythe, Chief of Police Tyndal and Deputy Clerk Dollar. Others
present were: Mesdames Sheldon and Dean, Judge R. W. Waters, Messrs. Mechtold,
Corregan, Brown, Lcwis, Peterson, Czech, Jones, and Prior. Representatives of the
Daily Commercial and Sentinel/Star were also present. The Invocation was given by
Councilman Byrd, followed by repeating the Pledge of Allegiance in unison by those
present.
Mayor Smoak welcomed all those present to the Clermont City Council organizational
meeting of 1975, and stated that the first order of business was the swearing in
of the newly re-elected members of the Council, whereupon the Oath of Office was
administered to Councilman/Mayor Elect Claude E. Smoak, Jr., by Mayor Pro Tem
Schroedel.
The Oath of Office was then administered to Councilmen Elect Richard E. Oswalt,
Carlisle A. Byrd, Jr., and Ben Blackburn by Mayor Smoak.
The Mayor considered it appropriate to look back over the accomplishments of 1974.
He thought one of the most important projects now underway is the revisions to the
Charter to conform with the 1973 Home Rule Act. He was particularly impressed
with accomplishments in public services, primarily in the water works department,
where a new well and water main have been authorized to insure better water pres-
sure and consequently better fire protection; also in the work done on the exten-
sion of the sewer system to Minnehaha Estates which will be undertaken very shortly.
He thought Council deserved credit for the initiative taken in the formation of the
Lake Improvement Committee, a standing committee, which over the years will preserve
our natural assets and our clean and pure water. The Mayor offered his thanks to
the Council and City Administration for the cooperation he received over the past
year and looks forward to working with them in 1975. Looking forward to 1975, he
thought the most important consideration was effluent, distribution. The Mayor
thought for the future the city should keep in mind repairs and improvements to
streets, public recreation facilities and a planting program of Oak and Pine trees,
the latter which could be accomplished by getting the service clubs interested.
He reiterated that he looked forward to working with the Council and hoped that
the Council can be as productive during the coming year as he felt it had been in
the past year.
The Minutes of the Special Meetings held December,16, 1974, and December 18, 1974,
and of the Regular Meeting held December 19, 1974, were approved as written.
Mayor Smoak announced that the Council would now sit as a Board of Adjustment to
consider a request by Marvin and Thelma Jones for a Variance to Section 26-22(C) (3)
(LOT AREA PER FAMILY) of the Zoning Ordinance in order to construct a duplex on the
East 177.5' of the South 45' of Lot 13, Lettered Block BB. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were
represented by Mr. Nick Jones. The granting of this Variance was discussed at
length and since there was some question as to the legality of the placement of
the storm drainage on the property, motion was made by Councilman Oswalt that this
Variance request be tabled until next meeting. The motion died for IaCK of a second.
Mr. Burton Brown of Florida Telephone Corporation appeared before Council and
presented an Accelerated Service Improvement Program being undertaken by the Florida
Telephone Corporation.
MINUTES N9 1105
Municipal Judge R. W. Waters appeared before Council and spoke on the subject of
the Abolishment of Municipal Courts. lie gave the disadvantages of turning Municipal
Courts over to County Control and that at a meeting of the Municipal Judges Associa-
tion it was decided to solicit the cooperation and efforts of the various city
government and related associations to keep the Municipal Courts.
The Mayor stated that this legislation has been a concern of City Council since
passed in 1973 and action has been taken by the City in the way of a Resolution
endorsing that Municipal Courts be kept within the jurisdiction of municipal govern-
ments and that Council is willing to work in any way to facilitate accepting the
position of the Municipal Judges Association.
Judge Waters then reviewed the new legislative enactment which sets up the Traffic
Infraction Act. In the Rules and Regulations it is recommended that a Violations
Bureau be established in each Municipality. To set up this bureau Council would
have to instruct the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance establishing this Bureau
and the Judge, Court Clerk along with the Chief of Police would write the implement-
ing instructionsfor the Bureau. Since this law became effective January 1975, Judge
Waters recommended that the Ordinance be drawn up and voted upon on an emergency
basis. The Mayor expressed appreciation to Judge Waters for his presentation and
asked him to get with City Attorney Vason to prepare the necessary ordinance so
that the City is in compliance with the law. Mr. Hopkins was requested to get the
Ordinance, when it is prepared, to the Council immediately for the necessary action.
City Manager Hopkins reported as follows:
Concerning the Seminole well, a pre construction conference was held today with
the engineers,representatives of FHA and the well drilling firm. It is anticipated
the contractor will start mobilizing on the site toward the end of the week and
start drilling operations within the next couple of weeks.
Concerning the Minnehaha Estates Sanitary Sewer Project, and as outlined in a memo
to Council dated January 13, 1975, Mr. Hopkins advised that he had gone over the
requirements of the State statutes with Mr. Vason and they have started working
toward accomplishing these requirements.
Concerning Effluent Disposal, the report of Dawkins & Associates on the interim
disposal on the Johnson Property was considered last night at a meeting of the
Lake County Pollution Control Board and the Board agreed to allow us to curtail
the present spraying on the Johnson property, authorized during the period of the
renovation to the Johnson property to spray irrigate in an area adjacent to the
marsh, south of the plant and west of the Catholic church. After the renovation
is completed and spraying resumes on the Johnson property, the Pollution Board has
granted permission to dispose of the excess in much the same manner on the church
property south of the plant. A meeting will be held with DPC in Orlando on Monday
morning to bring them up to date on what has transpired recently in meetings within
the County. Favorable approval of the Step 2 grant monies is anticipated.
Lift Station No. 22 at the high school has been completed and the school is making
arrangements for the hook up. The original contract for the Lift Station was
$24,306.66. We were able to obtain an easement from the high school to run the
force main. We were able to cut the force main distance in half and save $4,027.80
on that project.
With reference to the Baker Well and Grove situation, the City Manager advised he
had had conversations with Mr. Baker and City Attorney Vason. Mr. Baker feels the
agreement with the City was entered into in good faith and that he would like to
continue with the agreement. Mr. Hopkins further advised that in checking back
over the bills and checking with Mr. Baker as to his irrigation practices, he found
4700 gallons had been used against a probable 1200 gallons consumption estimated
by Mr. Baker. On a check of the LP engine and tank, there is no connection which
would permit removing fuel from the tank for purposes other than to run the engine.
The connectors at the tank and at the engine do not show evidence they have been
MINUTES NQ 1106
disconnected. There 1s some mystery as to where all the fuel went. Mr. Hopkins
further stated he did not know what to recommend to rouncll in terms of the agree-
ment at this time, but that he was going to make some changes by putting a lock on
the tank and Mr. Baker is going to call us when he needs gas, and that we are going
to meet Public Gas out there to fill the tank at least for the seeable future or
until some other arrangements are made, Mr. Hopkins stated he would continue to
pursue this matter to find out what the true situation is.
City Manager Hopkins reported that he has received a request this evening for
permission for the Pilot Club to use the Jenkins Auditorium on February 21st for
a spaghetti dinner to raise funds for hospital -oriented training and also a request
for a waiver of the fee. Since the Administrative Procedure Act does not allow for
items 'for the agenda after the deadline without the consent of the presiding officer,
he asked the Mayor to place the request on the agenda which was done. Motion was
mnrin by rni,nrilmnn Rvrrl. snrnnrlorl by rnunrilman Schroedel and unanimous v care e
Concerning the dock at Jaycee Beach, City Manager Hopkins reported that Mr. Nick
Jones has submitted drawings to contractors for cost estimates. This information
is needed in order to file formal application for funds to construct this facility.
Following a lengthy discussion on the approach that Council should take regarding
the handling of the lease agreement between Mr. Baker and the City, motion was made
by Councilman Blackburn. seconded by Councilman Schroedel and unanimo_us_y_carr e_
ma ntenance, with Mr. Baker. City Attorney Vason was requested to approaci Mr. Baker
regarding the power plant. The City Would like a proposal from Mr. Baker regarding
termination of the agreement.
The Mayor inquired of City Controller Fleming as to the current financial status of
the City in relation to cash funds until we received ad valorem taxes. He was
advised that as of today the general fund was down to $9,000.00 but that the City
has sufficient funds in the Water Department in the way of excise taxes to transfer
monies to the general fund.
City Attorney Vason commented on the costs specified in the Affidavit as to Suit
costs in the Minneola Citrus Shoppe , Inc., vs. City of Clermont case, stating that
they were legitimate costs and recommended that they be paid.
Councilman Schroedel reported that the Library Board passed a motion to install a
burglar alarm system between the library and police station; that they started a
new fund drive and have already received $884.00; that starting in February the
library will be open Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 9:00 P. M.; that
in April they will sponsor the Orange Blossom Breakfast, which time coincides with
National Library Week.
Councilman Schroedel advised that it has been brought to his attention by several
residents that they miss the flood light on the fishing pier and he asked if the
flood light could be reactivated and put on a time clock. The matter was referred
to the City Manager.
Councilman Schroedel offered and moved the adoption of a RESOLUTION re the appoint-
ment of City Manager to a m n ster Federal flood insurance program within the City.

work was performed, that 2. he thinks that the City Attorney should be instructed
to investigate every legal recourse that the City may have with the initial engineers,

It was the recommendation to the Mayor that the Airport Study Committee be abolished.
No action was taken on this recommendation.
Councilman Blackburn stated that he has been approached by many people asking about
a traffic light being installed at Highway 50 and Bloxam Avenue, and if Council
could pass a Resolution asking the State to look into this. He was advised that
the State, at their expense, have committed themselves to installing a traffic
light at East Avenue, but that we asked them to hold off at Bloxam until after
shopping center, banks, etc. were completed, but that evidence is that now it will
warrant one. Mr. Hopkins was requested to contact the DOT to see if they have made
a study of Bloxam Avenue, and if the signal is now warranted.
The Mayor requested Council to consider the maintenance problem of the green area
around Winn Dixie. He stated that evidently we did not have any legal recourse to
force the maintenance of the improvements that have been made, but wondered if
Winn Dixie could be approached from a public relations staridpoint..to cooperate in
having the anea cleaned up.

Subj: Boating Improvement Funds
Data: January 6, 1975
During the later part of November, Nancy Chrisainger of
the Lake County Planning Department contacted us regarding
Boating Improvement Funds from the State of Florida
Department of Natural Resources.
At that time I advised liar that I didn't feel the City
of.Clarmont would be interested in filing an application
for those funds. Since,then I have received a latter,
from Nancy Chrisaingg" (Copy attached)
it is my fooling that our boating facilities are adequate.
Any improvements to or expansion of our facilities would,
in my opinion, encourage greater boating traffic. I
feel that greater utilization of Lake Minneola by motor
boats will increase degradation and that would not be
in Clermont's best interest.
Since the Lake County Planning Department will present
any requests from cities to the County Commission on
January 16, we would have to promptly submit a request
if the Council desires. Again, I recommend we do not.

Please be advised that the Lake County Planning Department will present to
the Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 16, 1975 all requests from cities
and any other interested parties to be included in an application for
Boating Improvement Funds from the State of Florida Department of Natural ------
Resources.

Our recent meeting on this matter indicated to me that Clermont does not
wish to participate in this program. If there have been any changes since
then and you would like financial aid for any boating improvements, please
feel free to contact me at any time prior to our presentation to the Board.
Sincerely,
