The invocation was given by Councilman Byrd, followed by repenting Of the Pledge of Allegiance in unison by those present. 'file Minutes of tlho meeting held on May 13, 1075 were approved as written. City Controller Fleming reported that the balance of the grant to the city for sanitary sewer construction under the 11201" prggaam had been received in the amount of $36,000.00. Councilman Byrd reported that of the local Attorneys he had con- tacted with regards interest in serving as the city's public de- fender, Attorney Dennis L. Horton was the only one who expressed an interest. Contingent upon acceptance of Mr. Horton, motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Oswalt and unani- mous y carriedthat Dennis Horton e a ointe to serve as tic Pu lic Defender in Munici al Court at a retaining fee of $50.00 per month thru the remain or o thzs fiscal year ,c tembcr 30 1975) at which time a review woe a ma e o case oa s handled and con- sideration be given, if desired, for compensation on a per hour basis. Mr. John Greenlee, C.P.A. of Greenlee, Paul f, Furnas, the city's auditors, appeared before Council to answer any questions which they might have in their consideration of the proposed auditor agreement as submitted by his firm. Council was in agreement with the agree- ment as submitted, whereupon motion was made by Councilman Byrd seconded by Councilman Blackburn anU unanimously carried that Mayor Smoak be autli—orized to execute same. Mr.William G. Abbott, chauffeur, appeared before Council in behalf of applicant, John Wayne Smith, to operate a taxi service in the city. Included in the application were requests for variances to Chapter 22 of the Code of Ordinances regulating taxicabs and vehicles for hire, as follows: Control their own rates; Travel according to posted speed limits, and use their own company name on the sides of tlhe vehicles. It was consensus of Council that this Chapter of the Code was in need of revision in order to bring it up todate, and they thereby were in agreement with the variances requested. City Attorney Baird,advised that inasmuch as Council had not prescribed rates to be''chlarged, a variance to that portion would not be ne- cessary. Mayo,r`Smoak inquired of Mr.Abbott as to the rates he had in mind, and he advised they were to be 50t per mile. Mr.Baird further advised Council that amending ordinances would be necessary to effect the variances as requested, whereupon Councilman Byrd introduced AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE deleting a portion of Sentence 2 of Section 22-10 (a) of the Clemmont Code of Ordinances (No driver or operator of any taxicab within the corporate limits of the city shall drive a taxicab at a speed in excess of twenty-five miles per hour).

This project has proven unsuccessful due to being slow and cumbersome as we do not have the proper equipment. Manly Construction of Leesburg has a Gradall with rubber tires which can perform this work. The cost of the machine with operator is $35.00 per hour. The estimated time to do Sunset Lake and Center. Lake is 16 hours. Total cost - $560.00. We plan to have Manly Construction do this work. Council concurrence would be appreciated.

It is proposed that the system as outlined be installed on the parcel north of Osceola Street. The estimated cost for materials is $2,863.50. The system consists of 25 full circle and 10 half circle sprinklers. The coverage Is similar to the system installed in the treatment plant yard which followed the layout drawn by the engineering firm in Gainesville.

TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Borrow Pit DATE: May 15, 1975 On March 25. 1975 the City Council considered a proposal to eliminate erosion problems at the borrow pit. i We were instructed to consult with the County Engineering staff as to steps i to take for best utilization of the borrow pit and then to proceed with plans and secure a contractor to do the work. We met with the county engineer and have concluded the following: 1. Only limited renovation can be accomplished due to the close proximity of the outer slope sides to adjacent property lines. 2. Much of the excess material generated by reducing the height of the dikes will fall to the inside of the pit rather than the outside. This could possibly affect percolation in an adverse manner. 3. The county does not do in-house testing. Compaction testing must be contracted. 4. Renovation should include bulldozer work and vibratory compaction. County engineer also recommended shooting the slopes with RC-2 road tar after seeding. Estimated cost - $1500. We plan to proceed with the work in an effort to improve the holding capacity of the pit and reduce dike deterioration problems. Council concurrence would be appreciated. t . ins cc: City Clerk Agenda 5/20/75 Director, Community Services I M C®LINTY board of county cornminHionerrt '' � Offlea of thn Lakn County Fn0lnem RORIDA 416 W. reo hs d' Tuvwm, flarlJo a'%1%0 (904) 040-5152, W. 61, 60 May 19, 1975 t,. Mr. Bob Hopkins vr�C`/vcQM� t City Manager , 1 Westgate Plaza ? 0 19' Clermont, Florida 32711 SUBJECT: Retention Pond South of SR 50 Dear Mr. Hopkins: As per your request, Mr. Ponds and I have looked at your retention pond south of SR 50 with your Public Works Department. The only way to get enough density in the existing reten- tion walls would be to cut the top down to your desired - ---" elevation and thoroughly compact the walls with a vibrating roller. Without having engineering borings taken of the walls after compaction, it will be difficult to determine to what safe height water may be retained in this retention area as we have no way of knowing the composition of the material that was used in building the original walls. Also, we would recommend that after com- paction, the slopes should be seeded and mulched to prevent erosion. Our concern is, if the walls do not contain enough plastic material, seepage might occur through the walls leading to their eventual collapse. Therefore, the City will have to determine whether the possible collapse of the walls is worthwhile or whether the entire retention area should be reconstructed according to engineering principles. The City has to recognize that there is a safety hazard involved, and without the proper engineering data, no engineering decision can be made. Yours truly, _ Gov �-.-��- Michael F. Donoghue, P.E.

It is recommended that the policy as outlined by Mr. Smythe be adopted and that funds in the amount of $3,000.00 be appropriated in the 1975-76 budget for this program. It is further recommended that the appropriate section or sections of the Code be amended to state that the maintenance of parkways, adjacent to improved property be the responsibility of the property owner. ARM.A4 �i�ns Attachment cc: Director, Community Services w/attachment City Clerk w/attachments - Agenda 5/20/75 TO: City Manager FRO14: Director of Community Services DATE: May 15, 1975 SUBJECT: Tree Maintenance Policy It is the opinion of thls'writer that the trees on public property in close proximity to private property should be the responsibility of the adjacent property owner as they are the ones who receive the direct benefit of the tree. All trees located on common public property would be maintained by the City. All dead trees on public property should be removed by the City. <.I I would recommend a program to spray the badly infested oak trees to kill the clump moss and a pruning program to remove the mistletoe from those so affected. The cost of such a program is estimated to be as follows: - I Spraying $ 1,500.00 Pruning $ 11500.00 ** After this program has had time to be effective, a re-evaluation would be made and further recommendations made. Robert E. Smythe * To be done by City forces ** To be done by private crew RES:aoh C Tor Cixy Council Proms City Manager Subj: Tree Maintenance Policy Dater Pobruary 10, 1975 On an increasing baoin, the city in getting requeato to remove moon and mistletoe from treas an well an requosto for spraying and trimming. City for000 as wall as contract forces have, from time to time, done this work. The demand for th000 norviccn, no han been mentioned, is increasing. The cost of thin typo work avoragoa from about $15.00 per tree to $50.00 par tree. This oxpanso to the city can become oxtansivo if the city aasumoa responsibility for doing the work or having it done. At the present time, we do not have a policy or ordinance to guides us. Two ordinances are in effect which discuss maintenance of public property and trace on public property. They don't, however, direct attention to the maintenance of treats. The existing ordinancoo are as followsr sec. 11-22. Preservation of public health and general welfare. It is the duty and obligation of the owner and occupant of all real property in the city to help preserve and protect the public health and general welfare of all residents, and their property by keeping their reopectivo lots, parcels or tracts of land in said city, as well as adjacent sidewalks and park- ways, free from all filthy, trash, weeds, dirt, leaves, grass and rubbish and to keep down. by mowing, cutting or removal of same excessive growth of graos, weeds and noxious plants. Sec. 19-72. Trans and Shrubbery -Unlawful to cut. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to cut down or trim Limbs or foliage from any tree or shrub- bery located upon the streets, avenues and highways, or upon any other property of the city without a permit to do so, issued by the city council. In order to respond to the tree maintenance question, a policy needs to be established to define the city's involvement and responsibility.

Box 47 Deland, FL 32720 Re: Highway 50 Drainage Basin Dear Tony: This Department would like to thank the Department of Transportation f for their sincere efforts to arrive at methods to treat the increased runoff from this project. We feel that the City Governments concerned should have ample oppor- tunity to discuss the proposed facilities and register their comments. The City Manager of Clermont has gone over these plans and they have been discussed at one City Council meeting. They have asked for more time to draft their comments. However, since you have requested my early response, I am sending in my recommendations, and you will hear from them separately. Problems of having raw pits surrounded by chain -link fences on some of the highest priced property in the City of Clermont is a major objection. It is not our intention to design these facilities; however, we would most appreciate a serious consideration on your part of how to blend these facilities into their surroundings in a more pleasing manner. I hope that the recommendations enclosed are found to be realistic from your point of view, as they were from ours. I look forward to discussing these matters with you further at your convenience. ; Sincerely, W. K. Hennessey, Director la enc. Recommendations of Lake County Pollution Control Board cc: City of Clermont!/ Mr. Howard Young Highway 50 Drainage Basins, Orange County Line to Mascotte Recommendations of Lake County Pollution Control Board Retention Area 16 Johns Lake: High quality lake must be protected. Due to son y so s these small basins should be adequate. Retention Area N5, Unnamed lake of good water quality. Proposed basin should be adequate due to good soils in drainage area. Retention Areas /14 113 12: These three basins are located in sand hills evote arge y to citrus production. No lakes are to be protected by these structures, and it seems that sheet flow and the good percolation rates in the area should handle the flow without the pits. Retention Area H1 Jacks Lake: This basin appears adequate, again due to good soi s an tt a evelopment on the watershed. ' Highway 50-27 Interchange: This drainage will remain unchanged. We do recommend an effort toward increasing the percolation in the area by raising the inverts wherever possible in the interchange swales. Drainage Area 3A: Urban section of shopping center, etc., should be easily handled by area delineated as "sink hole." I was pleased to find that this was not a sink, but the result of a major earth moving project by fronting property owners. Drainage Area 113, Lake Sunnyside: A retention facility is needed for this flow to deviate a portion of the nutrient load that has begun to cause algae bloom conditions in this lake. If it is possible to construct a more esthetically pleasing basin with lower dikes and vegetative screens rather than chain link fencing, this would certainly be more desirable and still meet our guidelines. Drainage Area N2s Center Lake: Both pit alternates would be most difficult to achieve, and the amount of urban drainage entering this lake is so large that it does not appear to be worth the expense at this time. We do however recommend a trash and oil skimmer be constructed between the R.O.W. and Center Lake. Drainage Area N1 Sunset Lake: This basin appears both necessary and feasible a ong w ti a sma er one to accept the drainage from the 561 inter- section. Again, we do recommend vegetative screening, sod, etc., and no chain link fencing if possible.
