and upon inquiry by Mayor Smoak, there was no one present who voiced objection to

that the request be granted with a one year limitation.
It was the opinion of Mayor Smoak, that due to the large number of recent requests
for variances to the existing Sign Ordinance, it would behoove Council to review
and study the existing Ordinance for possible amendments, and with consensus of
Council he requested that this matter be placed on the agenda for the meeting to be
held on May 20, 1975.
Mayor Smoak introduced Mr. Tony Bryan, representative of the Florida DOT, who
presented the DOT's plans for containing run-off and on -point pollution on the
proposed expansion of Highway 850 thru the city, such plans exhibiting open borrow
pits with over -flow pipes emptying into the lakes along the route, and with which
MINUTES M 1142
Council was not in agreement, at least at this first sighting of the preliminary
plans. Upon inquiry by Mayor Smoak as to course of action Council might take
to oppose such a plan as submitted, he was advised it should be through the Lake
County Pollution Control Board to the Lake County Board of Commissioners. It was
consensus of Council that City Manager Hopkins contact the Lake County Pollution
Control Board to obtain their feelings and additional information regarding the
plan as proposed, and report back to Council.
Mr. John Wayne Smith appeared before Council to advise of his interest in establishing
a taxi service in the city. Mr. Smith was advised of the application and requirements
necessary for such a service that must be submitted prior to consideration by Council.
Mr. Smith thereupon advised he would attempt to have the necessary application ready
for Council's consideration at the next meeting.
City Manager Hopkins submitted his report both orally and written, and a copy is
attached hereto. With regards recommendation of City Manager Hopkins that Planning
and Zoning Commission member, Mrs. Jane Wilkins, be reimbursed the $30.00
registration fee for the recently completed Land Use and Zoning Course which she
attended at Lake Sumter Community College, motion was made by Councilman Byrd,
City Attorney Baird reported that former City Attorney Vason had forwarded information
regarding status of the seven remaining parcels in the city on which the city had
failed to obtain necessary sanitary sewer easements, and on which condemnation pro-
ceedings had been instigated by him, and he inquired of Council if it be their desire
for him to proceed in the finalization process. It was the understanding of
Council that in the authorization given for Mr. Vason to continue to serve in the
capacity of City Attorney through any bond issues for sanitary sewer improvements
inasmuch as he was already familiar and had pertinent information regarding same,
that he was also to conclude the finalization of obtaining all necessary easements.
Inasmuch as this work needed to be completed and a three year period had already
lapsed, motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Oswalt and
unanimnucly rarriarl that f.ity Attnrnav Raird he authorized to ❑rOCeed in the obtainino
Mayor Smoak reported as follows: That copies of a Comprehensive Development Plan
for unincorporated Lake County as proposed by the King Helie Planning Group had been
made available to Council, and he encouraged them to study the plan for discussion
at the next meeting. He further reported that a local public workshop regarding
this plan would be held in Jenkins Auditorium on May 29th at 7:00 P. M.; That based
on the cost figures for just the power usage to spray irrigate what is presently being
utilized for that purpose, and with the ever increasing rate increases, to expand
the process into the larger spray application area that the Lake County Department
of Pollution Control wishes the city to get into, it would be very conceivable that
such cost would increase to as much as an additional $50,000 per year just for spray
irrigation; That he had received a reminder from James Watkins that financial disclosures
must be filed by noon on May 15th; That in a communication from the Regional Planning
Council wherein they had approved the formation of a 208 area wide planning and
advisory committee, the City of Clermont was invited to participate on that committee.
It was the suggestion of Mayor Smoak, and Council was in agreement, that Mr. Sanford
Young and Councilman Oswalt, present members of the Lakes Improvement Committee, be
appointed to serve; That he had received a communication from Mr. William Gibb inquiring
of the necessity for the 25 mph speed limit on South Lake Shore Drive all the way
to the city limits, and Chief Tyndal advised this was under the control of the DOT,
and, That he would be in favor of amending the existing City Curfew Ordinance from
persons under 17 years of age and 11:00 P.M. to under 16 years of age and 12:00 midnight,
and thereupon requested that City Attorney Baird prepare such an amendment for Council's
consideration.
MINUTES N9 1.143
Councilman Byrd reported he had had only a single response thus far from a
local At tornoy with regards his willingness to serve as the City's public
Defender on a rotating basis at least for an interim period, and he was
requested to continue a canvass of the other local attorneys, which he agreed
to do. Councilman Byrd further reported he felt Council should adopt policy
guidelines for the determination of whether or not a defendant qualified
to be represented by a Public Defender, and City Attorney Baird agreed to
provide Council with samples as used by the Lake County Legal Aid Society.
City Clerk Carroll read a communication from Teleprompter Cable TV wherein
they requested return of the $50,000.00 performance bond for "substantial
construction" of a Cable TV system prior to a specified date, which they had

Our current rate for this power is 1.8 Q/KWH. The average cost for 1975
thru March was $222/mo. In addition, the fuel adjustment charge averaged
1.5 V KWH or an additional $185/mo. The total cost was $407/mo.
It is interesting to note that our rate base was 1.5 ¢/KWH when we started.
A rate increase of 5.72% took place in April 1974 and an additional increase
of 15.890% took place in January 1975. The fuel adjustment was .00010/KWH
in March 1973 and is now .01425/KWH. In other words, 1000 KWH cost us
10t in March 1973 and $14.25 in March 1975.

April 30, 1975
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Clermont
Clermont, Florida 32711
Gentlemen:
Chapter 10.510(4) of the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida
requires that the auditor file a postaudit report with the city and concurrently
file a separate report containing his audit comments.
Chapter 10.510(5) of the Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida
requires that the chief executive officer respond in writing to the auditor's
comments, including corrective action to be taken.
In a letter dated March 27, 1975, Mr. J. H. Greenlee of Greenlee, Paul and
Furnas submitted his audit comments in accordance with the requirements of
Chapter 10.510(4) of the Rules.
The following statement of explanation is in response to Mr. Greenlee's
comments.
Auditor's Comments
The City was in violation of several covenants with its bondholders, as noted
in our audit report of September 30, 1974.
Explanation
The auditor pointed out that the City shall cause the books to be audited within
sixty (60) days following the close of each fiscal year. Although the audit
was begun, it was not completed by the end of such sixty (60) day period, thru
no fault of the city.
The auditor has advised that every effort will be made to complete the audit
within the allotted sixty (60) days.
The auditor further pointed out a budget for the utility system will be adopted
at least forty-five (45) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. The
budget for the year beginning October 1, 1973 was adopted five (5) days prior
to the beginning of the fiscal year.
FLORIDA'S FINEST INLAND RESORT -RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY
Page 2 April 30, 1975
The Honorable Mayor and City Council
It has been our experience that It Is extremely difficult to adopt a budget
forty-five (45) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. In order to
project revenues and expenditures for the upcoming year, we rely on our Actual
eight (0) month experience in the current year. In order to prepare, review
and pass the budget ordinance in order to adopt the budget in three (3) months
is particularly difficulty in view of legal requirements for budget passage.
This year's delay in adoption was compounded by the fact a tax rnillage certification
was delayed clue to a county wide reassessment. In spite of the obstacles,
our efforts to adopt: the budget in accordance with the bond convenants will
continue. One change in the budget process we are considering is to begin budget
preparation after seven (7) months rather than eight (a), thus adding thirty
(30) days to the budget process.
The auditor further pointed out that the expenditures may not exceed the budget
by more than ten per centum (10%) unless the City adopts a resolution approving
such expenditures, which resolution must be based upon a written finding by the
general manager that the expenditure is necessary.
In response, our budget document provides for a Contingency line item. Rather
than code expenditures in excess of ten per centum (10%) to the Contingency line
item, we charge expenditures to the specific line item as appropriate in order
to maintain the integrity of the budget document as a guide and indicator for
nianagement. So as to satisfy the bond ordinance to a greater degree, we will
adjust all overun line items by Resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year.
It should be noted that the "violations" mentioned by the auditor have never
generated adverse continents by the bondholders.
No other comments are deemed necessary.
