Tha mooting wan called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Mayor. Claude P:. Smoak, Jr.., with the following memberu prevent: Councilman Blackburn, Schroodel, rand Byrd. Other offlciale present wero: Acting City Manager Smythe, City Attorney Baird, City Clerk Carroll, Finance Director W1111amn, find Chief of Police Tyndal. Others pronant were: The Menoro. Beals, Wootoon, Jameson, Pace, Czech, Crowson, Sargent, Mobley find Shepard. A reprenentative of the Sentinel/Star was also pronant. The invocation was given by Councilman Byrd, followed by repeating; of the Pledge of Allegiance in unison by those prevent. The Oath of Office wan administered by Mayor Smoak for the position of Council Member 1n Croup No. 1 to Councilmon-Elect Charles B. Beals, find he thereupon floated at Lila Council table and made welcome by members of the Council. The Minutes of the Regular Meeting held March 9, 1976, and of tine Special Meeting held March 10, 1976, were approved as written. Elder Ira L. Wootson of the Church of Cod in Christ appeared before Council to again request permission to occupy their new church building prior to meeting the require- ments for buffer strips and parking, however he did not have the necessary firm com- mitment in writing from the congregation as to a definite time schedule for meeting the necessary requirements, in order that Council might consider the matter. It was the suggestion of Council that Acting City Manager Smythe furnish the exact specifi- cations in writing as to what must be completed to meet all necessary requirements to Mr. Wootson, that Mr. Wootson present these to his congregation for a firm commitment in writing to submit for Council's consideration at their meeting to be held on March 23rd. Mr. C. A. Mobley, President of the South Lake Babe Ruth Leaue I g , appeared before Council in sup port of their previously submitted request in writing that the city furnish the 1' necessary funds for materials to remodel the concession stand at Bishop Field, with the necessary construction supervision and labor to be donated by members of the League. A plan of the proposed construction was submitted to Council for their consideration. In conjunction with this request, Council also considered a report submitted by Acting City Manager Smythe as to his recommendations for improved lighting of Bishop Field within the funds limit as allocated in the '75-'76 budget wherein the 28 existing in- candescent lamps on the infield would be replaced with quartz lamps, and the switch gear enlarged to accomodate 60OAmp wiring, which would eliminate the gross power over- load that presently exists. Council was in agreement with Mr. Mobley's request and the City Manager's recommendations, whereupon motion was made by Councilman Blackburn, seconded by Councilman Schroedel and carried that the budgeted funds up to $4,000.00 be released for the improved lighting as recommended by the City Manager, and $500.00 be released for materials to remodel the concession stand as requested by the South Lake Babe Ruth League. It was the opinion of Councilman Byrd that with the ever increasing costs for electrical energ y, it might be prudent to restrict ball games held at Bishop Field to daylight hours only. i- Acting City Manager Smythe submitted his regular report, both orally and written, and a copy is attached hereto. r With regards Council's desire to eliminate the necessity of the Chamber of Commerce Secretary returning to the Jenkins Auditorium during late night hours to collect rental fees, motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Beals and carried that: (1) Persons desiring to rent the building for commercial use and who has established a reliable background from previous use of the building, may utilize a time period up to, but not exceeding, seventy two (72) hours following use of the building, in which to satisfy the required fees with the Chamber Secretary during regular business hours of the Chamber office.

Inasmuch as the existing fcen for use of the Jenkinn Building were established by Council in 1967, it wan the nuggention of Councilman Blackburn that the Acting City Manager review those fcen in conjunction with the increased cents for maintenance of the building today an compared with 1967, and report back to Council. Mayor Smonk advised that inasmuch no the building had been renovated by the city to meet a need of: the local people, he would be in favor of keeping the fees as minimal an Possible in order to encourage use of the building. It was the nuggention of Mayor Smonk that the Acting City Manager obtain a classification breakdown of the various users of: the building. Mr. Dave Crowson of Dawkins 6 Associates, Inc., appeared before Council to answer any inquiried that he could with regards the water and sanitary sewer improvement program now underway. With regards the installation of a pump and motor at the Seminole Well, different from that called for in the specifications and without ben- efit of a change order approved by Council, Mr. Crowson advised that a verbal agreement had been effected between the contractor, the engineers, and the city ad- ministration for a change in the BPM'S that were in the specifications in order to correspond to the other existing pumping units in the city, but that a change in the motor size had not been considered. Mr. Crowson was requested to evaluate the in- stalled equipment and submit a recommendation to Council for its acceptance or rejection, and, obtain the cost difference of the installed equipment to that as had . been specified. With regards inquiry as to the engineers recommendation for use of cast iron pipe in the water line extension south on Highway #27, as opposed to PVC pipe now used by many municipalities at less coat, Mr. Crowson advised that the cast iron pipe had a greater pressure class rating which would provide a safety factor in this particular location inasmuch as there was an appreciable elevation difference between the pipe and the static water level in the Highland Avenue elevated tank. He further advised that the ability to withstand pressure stresses was reduced by approximately 50% in PVC pipe over a ten year period. Mr. Crowson did not advise, however, that PVC pipe would not be acceptable in Clermont. City Attorney Baird reported to Council that following his review of the city's position with Michaels-Stiggins, Inc. with regards the problems arising from the sanitary sewer percolation ponds as proposed by them, it was his conclusion that the city has a cause of action against them and would recommend that litigation be commenced. Motion was made by Councilman Blackburn, seconded by Councilman Beals and unanimously carried that the City Attorney's recommendation be accepted and he be authorized to proceed. City Attorney Baird reported to Council that following his review of the sanitary sewer connection problem at the South Lake Press building, it was his opinion that the city's obligation had been fulfilled at the time the collection line had been layed and a building line sewer lateral installed at the northeast corner of the Press property. He further opined that following this installation, sewer service had been made available by the city and there was no provision for the waiving of the monthly sewer charge. It was the opinion of Councilman Byrd that because the collection line had been installed at a higher elevation than the existing plumbing in the Press building thereby making it impossible for a hookup to this line, the city had not made the sewer service available and was still obligated to do so. Mayor Smoak inquired as to the desire of the property owner, and he was advised there had been no com- munication from them since July of 1975 at which time they had requested an immediate refund of the sewer assessment and monthly sewer charges. Mayor Smoak thereupon requested that Acting City Manager Smythe obtain the present desire of the property owner, in writing, and the matter be considered at the meeting to be held on March 23rd. MINUTES N4 1.262 Mayor Smoak reminded Council and till othern pranent of.

Mayor Smoak asked thnt Council membern formulate their ideas of a danired procedure to be followed regarding change orders of tiny contractual arrangements obligating the city, for consideration at the next meeting to be held on March 23rd. Mayor Smoak reported he had received a communication from Mr. Orrin Wnrd, Mayor of Mlnneoln, expressing sincere appreciation to Council for the excellent cooperation extended to them in thu recent Resolution adopted by Council, in support of their request that the Minneola Pont Office be maintnined and not phnued out an had been proposed. Councilman Schroedel reported that he hnd been contacted with regards a dangerous traffic control problem existing at the internocLion of hook Street and Lake Shore Drive, and inquired if nomething could be done about it. Acting City Manager Smytha, in conjunction with Chief of Police Tyndal, was requested to investigate the matter and submit his recommendations to Council for their consideration at the next meeting. Mayor Smoak reported that following many hours spent by Council in the serious con- sideration of the hundred plus applications for the position of City Manager, that unanimous agreement had been realized and he would thereby entertain a motion for appointment. Motion was made by Councilman Blackburn, seconded by Councilman Schroedel and unanimously carried that Mr. Gordon Tiffany be employed as City Manager effective April 19, 1976 at a salary of $15,000 per year with an increase of $500.00 at following new fiscal year. With regards the proposal submitted by Acting City Manager Smythe for a bicentennial time capsule housing and plaque, motion was made by Councilman Blackburn, seconded by Councilman Schroedel and carried that the proposal be accepted and authorization granted to proceed with the base construction, but that the order for the plaque be deferred pending approval of the city'a bi-centennial committee by the National Com- mission in order to include the bi-centennial emblem on the plaque. Councilman Blackburn offered and moved the adoption of A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT, LAKE COUNTY, FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR CERTAIN BURIAL BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT and the motion was seconded by Council- man Schroedel and carried. The Resolution was read by Mayor Pro-Tem Byrd, by title only, and the Number 273 assigned to it. Councilman Blackburn offered and moved the adoption of A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT, LAKE COUNTY, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE OPENING OF CERTAIN SAVINGS PASS BOOK ACCOUNTS AT THE EXCHANGE BANK OF CLEIU40NT AND DESIGNATING THE REQUIRED SIGNATURES OF CERTAIN CITY OFFICIALS and the motion was seconded by Councilman Schroedel and carried.

Smoak, Jr. Mayor, City of Clermont 940 2nd Street { Clermont, Florida 32711 j Dear Mayor Smoak: r Pursuant to your request, I have reviewed the City's files and researched the appli- cable law in regard to the problems arising from the percolation ponds proposed by Michaels-Stiggins, Inc. My investigation to this point reveals the following factual situation: 1 1. Preliminary Engineering Report rendered by Michaels- Stiggins, Inc. called for disposal of treated efflu- ent into the canal between Lake Palatlahaha and Lake - -- --? Hiawatha. 2. Disposal of treated effluent into the canal as proposed was prohibited by environmental agencies. 3. Alternative proposed was to utilize percolation ponds. Ardaman and Associates report of subsurface soil inves- tigation of proposed polishing ponds establishing the feasibility of the proposed percolation ponds. d 4. Construction of percolation ponds ($25,600.00). 5. Evidence of inefficiency of percolation ponds. 6. Alternative disposal approaches developed by City of I' Clermont (Borrow pit, Johnson property, spray irrigation, etc.) (93,053.00) 7. Account rendered by Michaels-Stiggins, Inc., as currently unpaid: 836,272.17 14 The above factual situation leads to the conclusion that the City of Clermont has 1.. a cause of action against Michaels-Stiggins, Inc., and Ardaman and Associates. The nature of the action is breach of contract and negligence. At the present time, I feel liability could be established on the part of Michaels-Stiggins, Inc. I' and Ardaman and Associates for the costs expended in construction of the percola- tion ponds. nonornble Claude E- Smoak, Jr. March 1.6, .1976 Page 2 Additional damngea In the nature of conts expended In connection with the borrow pit, the Johnson property and the aprny IrrignLion are a different matter. It may be that these costs would have been necessary if the percolation pond alternative was not put into effect. If, on the other hand, there were additional approachen to consider at the time the percolation pond alternative wan accepted, and those other approachen were not accepted bailed upon the Ardmunn report on the feasibility of the percolation ponds, the City may be able to collect additional damages. A better understanding of the possibilities of establishing liability for these damages can be gained in the early stages of litigation by the utilization of legal discovery procedures. I would recommend at this point the filing of an action against Michnels-Stiggina, Inc. for damages and include in the action a demand for costs expended both for the percolation pond and for the additional expenses in connection with the borrow pit, the Johnson property and the spray irrigation.

ENGINEC119 March 16, 1976 Mr. Robert Smythe Acting City Manager City of Clermont #1 West Gate Plaza Clermont, Florida 32711 PVC Water Line Extension -- South on U. S. Highway 27 City of Clermont, Florida C 4-SO5-E5 Dear Mr. Smythe: The review the soutonU sa SSHighwaySchedule pursuuantPVC to yourfor lettercofwater main extension h February 12, 1976, has been made and we comment as follows. Enclosed you will find a highlighted excerpt from Certainteed PVC Solvent Weld Pipe showing that a Schedule 40 pipe has an ASTM D-2241 pressure class of approximately 180 psi. ----.. Also enclosed is a schedule of pressure class pipe ratings excerpted from the recently adopted AWWA Standard 75-900 for poly -vinyl chloride pipe (PVC 1120). The pressure class for ASTM pipe ratings and that of AWWA are different in that the factor of safety used by the AWWA is higher than that acceptable to ASTM. Consequently, a Schedule 40 PVC pipe would be the approximate equivalent of a 100 psi AWWA pressure class. In the present application, the 6-inch line will be installed at an eleva- tion approximately 90 feet above mean sea level while the overflow eleva- tion of the Highland Tank approximates 305 feet above mean sea level thus producing a 215 foot total static head differential. This equates to a 93 psi static pressure difference which when coupled with surges (customarily 100%) indicates a requirement of 200 psi pressure class rating. Using the AWWA standard for 6-inch pipe, this indicates a minimum wall thickness of .473 inches to provide the 200 psi rating as contrasted with the wall thick- ness of .280 inches for the Schedule 40 pipe. In view of the rolling terrain in Clermont and the appreciable elevation difference between the pipe as installed and the static water level in the elevated tank, we would recommend that a 200 psi pressure class pipe based on AWWA specifications be employed in this particular application. This will provide for the safety factor anticipated by the waterworks industry as well as surges which will occur in this dead end line and also allow for :OI11'URMEOFFICFS 520 NOnTlI t:EMORAN BLVD. • P.D.

Church Street Orlando, Florida 32805 Waterworks Anprovoments -- "Seminole Wall" - Pump & Motor Attention: Mr. Ted Rogers City of Clermont, Florida C 4-SOS Dear Ted: During the course of construction of the subject well and prior to placing the order for the pump and motor, you suggested to the City the installation of a 1750 rpm pump instead of the 1150 rpm unit called for in the specifications. Your recommendation for using the higher -speed unit was based in part on the fact that it would correspond to existing pumping units in the City and would have five pumping bowls instead of seven as would otherwise be required with a slower speed unit. This was agreed to by the City and is reflected on the shop drawings; however, no -- -- change order was ever processed reflecting this understanding between you and the City. To accommodate this pumping speed change, the electric motor had to be revised from 1150 to 1750 rpm which was done. Additionally -- upon a separate determination by you -- the horsepower requirement was modified from 150 hp to 125 hp which information was included in the shop drawing submittal of April 23, 1975. This change in horsepower requirements was unobserved until the power supplier placed an inquiry relating to electri- cal load requirements. Although the shop drawings reflect that both the horsepower and the rotational speed requirements of the pump had been modified, this does not constitute an approval for a change. Such information is clearly presented on the face of the shop drawing so that there can be no misunder- standing of this fact. It is apparent that a pump and motor different from that called for in the specifications has been installed which has not been covered by change order. SD that the installed equipment may be evaluated as to acceptance or rejection, it is requested that you submit to this office documentation as to the cost differential between the pump specified and the pump supplied as well as the cost difference of the motor installed as compared to the specified unit. These quotations are to be supported by information from CQh.PORATE OFFICES - 520 NORTH SEMORAN BLVD. -P.O.

In the event that the City determines to accept the units as installed, it would be expected that a change in the contract price reflecting any cost savings to the City would be credited to the City. This information has previously been requested from you; however, we have not as yet received your response. Your attention to this matter and reply at an early date will be appreciated. Sincerely, DAWKINS & ASSOCIATES, INC. YO. %LCrowron, P.E. Senior Project Manager DLC/cwt copy to:� hlr. Robert Smythe Acting City Manager TO: City Council FROM: Acting City Manager SUBJECT: Seminole Well DATE: March 12, 1976 Approximately February 1, 1976 it was brought to our attention by Florida Power plaaasked had madeasubstitutionfrom origithat n ip by info on nameplate and 1 specs of the 150 IIP motor. Bob Hopkins verbally inquired of our engineering firm as to the situation. On approximately March 1st, I received a phone call from Mr. Dave Crowson relating the facts as follows: 1. During design, shop drawing period an engineering determination was made to change the RPM of this well from preliminary RPM of 1100 to 1750. This was considered due to the fact that our existing 150 HP Motors are of the higher R.P.M. and at some point in time it may be necessary to interchange them for one reason or another. Also it would reduce the number of bowls in the pump from 7 to 5. We were consulted in regards to this change and agreed. The contractor then requested of the manufacturer (US Motors - Peerless Pump) some new specs for a "Balanced" pump and motor installation and when this was furnished it was approved by the engineers with apparent disregard to horsepower or by mistake. 2. Locke Well & Pump is willing at this point to refund between $500 and $600 which is the price difference of the motors. They also would install the 150 HP motor at this time for $2000 plus if we so desire. I have made search of the files and I cannot find a change order or correspondence relating to the RPM change. This appears to have been a verbal exchange. It would have been proper to institute a change order for this but it was probably assumed that cost would remain the same and it was not necessary. I further believe that we are entitled to some adjustment in cost for the reduction in the number of bowls in the pump from 7 to 5. I am greatly disturbed that the engineers approved payment for these items when they were not items of equal value as those originally bid. At this point I have no recommendation as I am waiting for a written response from Dawkins & Associates on this matter, and am making further investigation into the energy consumption of the different HPs to see which would be the most economical. J '% R. the cc: City Clerk Agenda 3-16-76 City Attorney Finance Director CITY MANAGER'S REPORT March 16, 1976 The information on the percolation ponds needed by Mr. Baird to complete his investigation has been forwarded. A request for written response on the merit of PVC pipe for municipal water systems has been directed to Dawkins & Associates via Dave Crowson on two occasions. Copies of these letters are attached. To date no written answer has been received. My recommendations for precluding night collections at the Jenkins Building are as follows: 1. Any commercial user of this building may be required to deposit an amount equal to the required percentage of estimated gross receipts, determined by the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. This deposit will be adjusted according to substantiated gross receipts based on required percentage, no later than 72 hours after the event and during regular business hours. 2. Any commercial user of this building may be required to deposit with the Clermont Police Department at the close of the event an amount predetermined and made knowledge thereof by the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce to the Police Department. -- - This second alternative would only be offered to those groups with reliable backgrounds from previous experience at this building. Elder Ira Wootson from the Church of God in Christ has been furnished a plan showing the necessary information for sodded parking areas and buffer strips and he hopes to be able to appear before council and make a proposal authorized by the church.

Drawer 14024 Orlando, Florida 32807 Attention: Mr. 0. L. Crowson Dear Dave: Re: Project B1 Waterworks Improvements City of Clermont, Florida C44-S05-E50 I knew if I waited a couple of days I could write on letter instead of six. First subject is the flow meter for the Seminole well, As previously discussed, the City will provide meter and install with city forces. Can the cost for all or part of this item be included in loan if we so desire? We are proceed- ing inrtnediately to acquire this meter. Secondly, in regards to Change Order #1, we feel the added cost is too great. We will make the connection and furnish the necessary material to make this - - change. Please prepare deduct change order and notify the contractor of our intent and instruct them to substitute 6" CIP for a" CIP on DeSoto Street between Lake Avenue and 7th Street. We will coordinate with them and have connection ready when they are. Thirdly, I have given much thought to the problem of the motor substitution on the Seminole Well. All conclusions come up bad. Please give me your continents and recommendations in writing as we discussed on the phone and I then plan to have City Council help me with this decision. Fourthly, the Mayor has requested that you follow up in writing wi=,' and comments I requested in my letter of February 12, 1976 regardi when used for municipal water systems. Fifthly, I feel it might save some wasted effort if approval were obtained from this office prior to a change order being compiled. I fully agree to the engineering change in proposed Change Order #1 , but as Paragraph Two of this letter indicates, economics sometimes rules. Furthermore, I feel it is imperative that Council approve all change orders. All arrangements have been made for interim financing except for signature(s) FLORIDA'S FINEST INLAND RESORT -RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY i TO: Ci ty Ceunci 1 FROM: Acting City Manager SUBJECT: Bishop Field Lighting DATE: March 12, 1976 After thorough research of this lighting system it is very evident that additional lighting cannot be added to the existing 400 Amp wiring and switch gear. It is grossly overloaded now evidenced by the somewhat regular "blowing" of fuses and computing and comparing the present load to the rating of switch gear. I had originally planned to add 28 lights, 1-85' pole and relocate 3 existinq poles to bring the outfield up to semi -pro, municipal standards and rewire same as I have indicated above. This would be impossible without complete revamping of service and switch gear to accommodate 600 Amps with design semi -pro lightingto mwhich,at a requiresture time 128 lightsthe andiafield 1200 Amp serivicei or enclosure. Preliminary costs are as follows: 28 - 1500 W Quartz Lights $40.00 0 $1120.00 1 - 85'Class II Pole FOB Clermont 900.00 Crane Service to relocate and set up poles To be donated Digging 4 pole holes To be donated Labor for above Additional Material for Above 500.00 600 AMP switch gear and wiring 2500.00 installed by Licensed Electrician 5020.00 As an alternative I would propose that the incandescent lamps on the infield be replaced with quartz lamps. These are 28 in number and would cost approximately $1120.00 and also that the switch gear be enlarged to the 600 Amp rating for the above approximate cost of $2500, making this alternate cost approximately $3620, which would improve illumination and make it a much safer and reliable system.

The 24" x 12" Bronze Plaque will cost $107.50 plus freight and will read as follows: TIME CAPSULE Scaled by the Clermont UiCentennial Committee on July 4, 1976 to be opened by the Tri-Centennial Committee on July 4, 2076. It is somewhat doubtful whether the DiCentennial emblem can be used on the plaque because as of this date we have not been approved by the National Commission. This approval is required by the Plaque manufacturer before they can apply the emblem. The material for the reinforced concrete box should not exceed $150.00 with labor being furnished in house. I have been unable at this point to obtain the cost of the stainless steel capsule which is being furnished by Konsler Steel Co. At this time I would like permission to order tho plaque as recommended because of the U - 10 week delivery, R. E.
