Mr. Sanford Young of Biological Research, Inc. and consultant to the. Lakes Improvement
Committee, appeared before Council and gave a report which consisted of information
on what had happened to the lakes, what can be done to correct their condition,
what can be done to preclude a reoccurrence of the condition and the procedure
necessary to acquire Federal Funds under the 208 Program. Mayor Smoak thanked
Mr. Young for his presentation and expressed his appreciation of Mr. Young's
interest in this project.
In Mr. Young's presentation and subsequent discussion it was brought out that the
students of the Biology Class of Clermont High School are involved in the methods
used for dissolved solids determination in lake protection and restoration;
however, their lab does not have the proper equipment to carry out the tests,
which equipment would cost about $2,000. City Manger Hopkins was requested to
investigate the possibility of the students using the sewer treatment plant lab
facilities to carry on their tests.
Mr. Dave Carter, of the Clermont High School, appeared before Council with a
request for permission to use Jenkins Auditorium for a Student Council Sponsored
dance to be held on December 13, 1974 between 8 P. M. and 12 Midnight. Motion was
made by Councilman Schroedel. seconded by Councilman Blackburn and unantmnucly
City Manager Hopkins reported that it was the desire of the Planning and Zoning
Commission to have the members of the Lake Improvement Committee and the members
of the City Council meet with them at their next meeting, January 7, 1975, to
discuss On Site Water Retention of Storm Water Run -Off. Council was agreeable to
attending this meeting, but it was the consensus that the meeting sub -committees
should be formed from the three groups in order that more effective and productive
recommendations can be formulated on reaching a solution to this problem. City
Manager Hopkins was requested to include the Lakes Improvement Committee and the
City Council on the P&Z Agenda for their January 7, 1975 meeting to discuss this
subject.
City Manager Hopkins called the Council's attention to a Course on "Land Use and
Policy and Zoning" to be held at Lake Sumter Junior College beginning on Wednesday,
January E, 1975, taught by Ms Barbara Dorf. He felt that this course would be
very beneficial to city officials involved in Planning and Zoning and recommended
that any officals who attended and completed the course be reimbursed by the city
for their tuition. The Council was in agreement with this expenditure under the
conditions stipulated by City Manager Hopkins.
With regards to information from Judge Richard W. Waters on the subject of the
Municipal Judge's Association and the abolition of municipal courts, the Council
requested that City Manager Hopkins invite Judge Waters to attend the next Council
meeting on December 17, 1974 to discuss the matter. Mayor Smoak requested
that City Attorney Vason be instructed to prepare a Resolution in support of the
Municipal Judges' position for the next meeting.
Mayor Smoak advised that City Attorney Vason was nolpresent because of the tragic
accidental death of his father in an automobile accident, and requested that
sincere sympathy and condolences be extended to the family from Council and the
City Administration.
Councilman Schroedel requested a letter of thanks and appreciation be written
to Mr. Bob Wade of Wade Ford Company for the use of one of his cars in the Christmas
parade. The matter was referred to City Manager Hopkins.
MINUTES N9 1692
Councilman Schrudel reported on the Library board meeting held on December 9th.
Ile inquired if the City's pest control service covered the treatment of the ground
for the proposed library addition and was advised by City Manager Hopkins that
it (lid not. Mayor Smoak advised that the city would be glad to take care of this
matter and referred it to City Manager Hopkins.
Mayor Smoak requested City Manager Hopkins to compile a report for him to present
to the League of Cities Tax Committee on December 17, 1974 showing where the city
benefits from the $95,000 (2.555 mill rate) from the following, Sheriff's Department,Land-
fill, Secondary Highway Maintenance, Court System, Health Department, Mosquito
Control, assessing and collection of taxes.
The list of bills were presented for approval and the item of $808.00 from Singer -
Layne Company (Reinstall Highland Well Pump) was questioned. The Council was
advised by City Manager Hopkins that the $803.00 bill was for reinstalling the
pump on the Highland Well. Mayor Smoak stated that since Singer -Layne had not
met the specifications for drilling the well to a greater depth, he felt the
city was not obligated for the full, maximum cost of $7225. Fie stated the specs
called for 8 inch casing and a 1000 foot depth. The Contractor used 6 inch because
of alighment problems and only drilled to only 914 feet. The matter was referred
to City Manager Hopkins with instructions to get an evaluation from the engineer.
The payment of $808.00 was withheld pending receipt of the requested evaluation.
City Manager Hopkins read a communication from the Veterans of Foreign Wars wherein
they requested use of the Clarence Bishop Field for the week of December 15th
thru December 21st to sponsor a Carnival to raise money to pay for their sewer
assessment. It was consensus of Council that more information was needed to make
a determination on this request, whereupon motion was made by Councilman Oswalt,
more information. Mayor Smoak then called a Special Meeting for December II, 1W 4
at 5:00 P. M. to be held in the City Manager's Office to discuss the request
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Councilman Oswalt offered and moved the adoption of a RESOLUTION applying for a loan

Schroedel and unanimously carried. The Resolution was read, by title only, by
City Manager Hopkins and the number 246 assigned to it.

COMMENTS - REFUSE, hAC:KRIt
All biddorn choose to pronont it un,l.t 1'r.um t.hoir. nt:ork.
The rhasnls from Ileint:zol.man'n Truck Cunt:cir faLln to r;oul. nptlus
in rpgardu to front upri.ngs and axle, pounibly the frame Other
somewhat minor deficioncies do ooint• in regard to desired specs.
In r.erlards to the body, the major deficiency is Lilo r;,ct. Lnat:
compaction density is only 650 lb. per r.ubla y;lyd. One thousand
(1000)lb. par cubic yard was spocifi.cd as a minimum, Alao,
the loading height is only three inches holow frame and not five
i.nchor; an requested.
The chassis from Southland Equipment Company has a totally
unacceptable transmission. This in the modol we are presently
using and repair parts are almost unobtainable in the State of
rlorida. Again, frame reinforcomont is not specified, and other
minor deficiencies exist here in regard to total chassis specs.
In regards to the body, the density of the packed material
cannot be determined from furnished information, the loading
height also is only 2h inches below frame height. This bid
also was not presented on supplied bid form and, thusly, statement
verifying performance to specs has not been satisfied.
The two chassis bid by Bennett Truck Equipment meet nearly
all heavy power train and suspension spec. requirements.
Again, somewhat minor deficiencies exist regarding remainder
of specs.
The body meets all specifications. The question then was to
determine the most practical and economical chassis for us to
operate in the .long run. I would like to point out that I fully
realize that if these trucks were fully loaded, they would be
somewhat exceeding the truck manufacturers load recommendations.
I feel, though, that this full -loading situation is several years
down the road, verified by a recent survey made by this department
by weighing each of our present trucks for a seven weekday period,
adding 25% load for seasonal increase and averaging size of
loads, it was found that we are presently compacting to a
density of approximately 550 lb. per cubic yard and only loading:
the trucks to 55-60; of volume capacity today.
This leaves the decision of whether or not to purchase a practically
new 1974 Ford, which I have been assured will have full warranty,
and which has the large MT 650 Allison Automatic Transmission
which I feel -would give, the: longer. trouble=free life to the drive
train due to a much steadier application of power. This would,
also, be a prime factor .in reducing drive.:.- fatigue.
The GMC Truck has the standard drive train we are all familiar
with but which proves to be a rather burdensome problem in regards
to high maintenance cost and down time.
It is my recommendation that the City purchase the 1974 Ford for
the reasons stated. I furthermore recommend the outlay of an
additional $2,765.00 to install a front mounted engine driven
hydraulic pump. This system will reduce fuel consumption almost
1
50%, reduce route tirno because the laarl can be packed up while
truck is .In motion, operato practically noi.no froc duo to il:n
low RPM operation and incroase ongLno life.
I have personally inspected this truck and find it to be an
reprenented. It is a demonstrator model with oxtr.omely ]ow
hours and milage. I, also, submit a report an a 25-yarn body
used in six different cities showing t•ho density of lead, hours
saved over conventional trucks, fuel consumed which wan 5-
G01 of normal quantity uned, and names of porsonn Lo �ahlc0

Gubj: Flood insurance
Date:December 3, 1974
At the Council Meeting on April 7.3, 1974 t-hu matt:cr of
flood insurance in Clermont: was dincunned. IL was tho
consensus of the Council that the maLLer be deterred.
The Flood Disanter ProLecti.on Act- of 1973 provides that
communities where special. flood hazard areas have been
formally identified must be actively participating in the
program by Juno 30,1975. Since Clermont has been identified
as having flood prone aroas, a decision must be made re-
garding our application.
Attached .is material which will provide information on the
program.

Gear ') P , ,
In accordance with the provisions of section 201 of the Florid Di�,ap;tr,r
Protection Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-234, December 31, 1973, hereinaftor
referred to as the 1973 Act), the purpose of this letter is to give
you formal notice of the tentative identification by the Federal
Insurance Administration (FIA), on behalf of the Secretary of Housing j
and Urban Development, that your community contains one or more dregs
having special flood hazards. A map showing the boundaries of the
areas affected by the proposed identification is enclosed.
E
The effect of this notification, as required under the 1973 Act, is
to inform communities that are not presently participating in the
National Flood Insurance Program of the flood danger to which they
appear to be exposed and to give them an opportunity to enroll promptly
in the program so that their residents will be protected financially
against future flood losses, since flood insurance is not available
privately. However, if you believe that your community either is not
seriously flood prone, or that such flood hazards as may have existed
have been corrected by floodworks or other flood control methods, the
community may appeal the proposed determination,
If it desires to appeal, the community, at any time during the next
six months, should submit to FIA whatever technical or scientific
data it may have that is sufficient to prove its contention that it
is not flood -prone. If the Federal Insurance Administrator concurs
in the evidence submitted, then the proposed identification will be
cancelled.
If the community does not successfully refute FIA's proposed identifi-
cation, then it must seek eligibility for the sale of Federally -
subsidized flood insurance by adopting preliminary land use and control
measures to help reduce or avoid flood losses and by applying to FIA
for participation in the program. Generally, flood insurance can be
made available within two weeks after receipt of a complete application.
Flood insurdnce will then be available through any licensed property
insurance agent or brorer in the community.
