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.

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.

Robert 11, Hopklre I AH/kd cc: City Attorney City Clerk Too City Council From: City Manager 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.
