Controller Fleming reported that the balance of the grant to the city for
sanitary sewer construction under the PL 92-500 program had been received in the
amount of $36,000.00. It was the recommendation of the County Engineer that
vibratory compaction be used on the dike, followed by shooting the slopes
with road tar after seeding. It was the recommendation of City Manager Hopkins
that the dike be reduced in hei ht b five feet which would include some
u ozer wor at an a rox mate cost of 700.0 . Mayor Smoak reported he had
received a request for a street sign designating Shady Nook Lane, which was
Mayor Smoak announced the first order of business to be the consideration of a
request by Ulrich A. Naujokat for a Variance to Article V111, Section 26-25 - -
(GENERAL PROVISIONS -Side Yard on Corner Lots) of the Zoning Ordinance in order
to construct a residence on his property described as Lot 13 and the WIz of Lot
15 in Block 14 of Clermont Heights Subdivision on five feet of the required
twenty-five foot setback. Mr. Naujokat appeared before Council in behalf of his '
request and advised his reason for the request was in order to save two beautiful
large shade trees. There was no one present who voiced objection to the request,
whereupon motion was made by Councilman Byrd,seconded by Councilman Oswalt and
unanimously carried that the request be granted.
Mr. Jahn Sargent, Council's liaison representative to the Lake Apopka Natural
Gas District, appeared before Council and rendered a very complete and up-todate
report on the District. His report was very optimistic as to future financial
condition of the District. Contained in his report was mention that revenues were
now up and that profits had increased 19% in spite of the warm winter just
experienced, whereupon Mayor Smoak inquired if this was possible due only to an
adjustment in price, or did the volume also increase? Mr. Sargent was not prepared
to answer that inquiry but agreed to get the information and report back. Speaking
as a resident of Clermont, Mr. Sargent further reported that he felt the Jenkins
Auditorium was one of Clermont's greatest assets and encouraged Council to view
both the outside and interior of the building as well as the outside grounds,
objectively, with possible consideration for improvement by including the necessary
funding for same in the '75-'76 budget.
City Manager Hopkins submitted his report as follows: That he had tentatively arranged
for a meeting of Council with William Baker on May 29th in his office at 3:00
P. M., and this was agreeable with Council; and, That he had received a request
from Walter E. Allan, Director of Continuing Education at Lake -Sumter Community
College to use the Jenkins Building on ten different nights from September 30th
thru December 16th for a Physical Conditioning Class for Women. Mr. Hopkins
further reported that he would recommend that permission be granted and that
the rental fee be waived, as has been done in the past. Motion was made by
Councilman Byrd, seconded_by Councilman Blackburn and unanimously carried that
MINUTES NV 1.1 J510
reported, That the regular Orange Blossom Breakfast would be hold in Jenkins
Auditorium on Wednesday, May ?.Bth; That hp had investigated the sign request
for Shady Book Lano and was having one now one painted that had badly rusted;
That Manly Construction Company had begun the work of cleaning the Sunset Lake
and Conter Lake storm sewer outfalls; That he and Mrs. Sheldon, Secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce were reevaluating the fee schedule for use of the
Jenkins Building, and, That city crews had completed striping of the tennis
courts located at the elementary school.
Controller Fleming reported there were forty-six parcels of property on which
the third annual sewor assessment payment had not been made, and according to
the bond requirements, such delinquents were to be turned over to the City Attorney
for collection and/or foreclosuro measures sixty days following the due date,
which would be June 1st. It was consonus of Council that City Attorney Baird
notify owners of those parcels a final time prior to taking foreclosure measures.
Mayor Smoak reported as follows: That he was of the opinion that the city
should sponsor a summer recreation program for the youth of this community,
at least a swinning program, inasmuch as the Lake County School Board would no
longer be participating in such summer programs, and inasmuch as time was
of the essence due to school being out for the summer in a very short time,
had requested that City Manager Hopkins compile some approximate costs for
such city sponsored program, and he desired that Council consider the matter at
a Special Meeting. Council was in agreement with this whereupon Mayor Smoak
called a Special Meeting of Council for Thursday, May 29th in the office of the
City Manager, following the meeting of Council with William Baker.
Motion was made by Councilman Oswalt seconded by Councilman Blackburn and
carried that the bills be paid.
Councilman Oswalt offered and moved the adopti

With regards discussion of whether or not fees should be made for out -of -city
residents using the Jaycee Beach, it was consensus that it would be too monumental a
task to police the beach for a fee type arrangement.
With regards City Manager Hopkins' inquiry of Council as to guidelines for the
employees pension contribution of $7,000.00 as budgeted this fiscal year, it was
consensus that Dr. H. Russell Fogler be contacted first as to any recommendations
for change he might have since his guidelines of November 1974 as a result of
changing market conditions.

With regards recommendations of City Manager Hopkins that City Attorney Baird
be requested to review the city's occupational license ordinance for possible
conflict with recent state statutes, it was consensus that this reconunondation
be accepted.
With regards the Comprehensive Development Plan for unincorporated Lake County
as proposed by the King Nelie Planning Group, it was consensus of Council that
very little, 'If anything, was planned for South Lake County, with which they were
not in agreement, whereupon Mayor Smoak urged that each member attend the
public workshop meeting of the Group to be held in Jenkins Auditorium on
Thursday, May 29th at 7:00 11. M.
The meeting was adjourned by Mayor Smoak at 9:15 P. M.

CITY MANAGER' REPORT

On Wednesday, May 21st the City Attorney and I met with Mr. Baker and his son
regarding the irrigation well. We discussed fuel consumption, engine maintenance
and water guarantee. No conclusions were drawn and commitments made. It is
recommended that the council meet in work session with Mr. Baker to discuss
this matter at City Hall on Thursday, May 29th, 3 P. M.
We have received a request from Lake -Sumter Community College for use of
Jenkins Auditorium for their Women's Physical Conditioning Class. The requested
dates are as follows:
September 30
October 7, 14, 28
November A, 11, 18
December 2, 9, 16
Approval of this request and waiver of the rental fee is recommended.
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Jaycee Beach - Fees
DATE: May 15, 1975
From time to time, mention has been made by citizens that out -of -city
people using Jaycee Beach should be charged a fee.
We have never pursued a non-resident fee in the past since we didn't
feel sufficient revenue would be generated to offset the cost of
control. -
We would like to have Council input in this regard.
