The Invocation was given by Councilman Beals, followed by repeating of the Pledge
of Allegiance in unison by those present.
The Minutes of the meeting held on September 26, 1972 were approved as written.
Mayor Smith announced the first order of business to be that of considering the
bids received on petroleum products and maintenance of the two-way radio equipment.
It was the recommendation of City Manager Hopkins that inasmuch as only one bid
had been submitted on the petroleum products, that this bid be rejected and the
requirements be rebid in an effort to obtain at least one additional bid. Motion
was made by Councilman Beals, seconded by Councilman Smoak and carried, that the
recommendation of the City Manager be accepted and the petroleum products requirements
be rebid.
Bids were received on the two-way radio maintenace as follows: G1enMar Electronics
Service @ $113.30 monthly; Motorola Communications and Electronics, Inc. @ $105.50
monthly. It was the recommendation of City Manager Hopkins that the low bid as
submitted by Motorola be accepted. Motion was made by Councilman Beals, seconded
by Councilman Smoak and carried that the recommendation of the City Manager be
accepted and the bid be awarded to Motorola.
Dean Marshall, President of the Senior Class of Clermont High School, appeared
before Council and requested permission for the Senior Class to hold a teenage
Homecoming Dance in Jenkins Auditorium on October 27, 1972 from 10 P. M. to 1:30 A.M.
Motion was made by Councilman Smoak, seconded by Councilwoman Watson and carried
that this request be granted provided that all rules and regulations pertaining to
dances held in the Auditorium are met.
Mr. Leonard Witte, President of Highcastle, Inc., developers of the subdivision in
Highland Estates, appeared before Council and requested a refund in the amount of
$979,40, the amount paid by them to the City for water line extensions to this
subdivision. It was the contention of Mr. Witte that adequate water lines should
have been extended at cost of the City to service all the subdivision inasmuch as
there was an existing 2" water line on one side of Ryan Street at the beginning
of the development construction. Mr. Leonard Baird, seller of Highland Estates
to Highcastle, Inc. advised Council that he had been assured by officials of the
previous city administration that streets and water lines would be made available to
this subdivision should he pursue the development of same, and, that inasmuch as
a water line was extended at the city's cost to a single residence constructed by
him on Ryan Street that it was presumed any additional lines that would be needed
would also be constructed at city's cost. Mr. Witte was advised that Council is
bound by Ordinance No. 60-C adopted in December 1971 providing rules, regulations,
costs, etc. of extensions of water and sewer lines and thereby it would be illegal
to refund monies to them.
Mrs. Horace Flowers, of the Democratic Executive Committee, appeared before Council
and requested permission to hold a political rally and Bar B-Q at the Jaycee Beach
on November 4th. Motion was made by Councilman Smoak, seconded by Councilman Beals
and carried that this request be granted.
City Manager Hopkins submitted his report, both orally and written, and a copy is
attached hereto. With regards recommendation of the City Manager that Adkoruk,
Brownell, Campanile and Associates be authorized to proceed with developing

Street, at an approximai:e cost of $200.00, motion was made by Councilman Smoak,
seconded by Councilman Schroedel and carried that this recommendation be accepted.
With regards the appointment of a voting delegate from the City to the League of
Cities Convention on October 20th thru 22nd, motion was made by Councilman Schroedel,
seconded by Councilman Beals and carried that City Manager Hopkins be appointed.
Motion was made by Councilman Schroedel, seconded by Councilman Beals and carried
that the bills be paid excepting the Leesburg Armature Works bill @366.75, the
Orange Electric Co., Inc. bill @ $137.50 and the South Lake Pumping Service bill
@ $208.00, and that City Manager Hopkins be instructed to contact the city's
insurance carrier with regards these three bills. It was then the motion of
Councilman Smoak that the bill from South Lake Pumping Service be processed for
payment now and a copy of same submitted to the city's insurance carrier for possible
retribution. The motion was seconded by Councilman Beals and unanimously carried.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
The routine business of the City is being conducted as usual. We have completed
the city wide inspection for high weeds. Ninety-four notices were mailed to appropriate
property owners. The Police Department is continuing the junk car removal
program. During September 12 junk cars were removed. The Animal control problem
has been greatly reduced. For the first 9 months of this year 158 dogs were
impounded. Of the 158 dogs caught, 47 were returned to their owners and Ill were
turned over to the County. Building construction in Clermont continues with
the value of new construction reaching $2,022,800 at the end of September.
This included permits for 54 new residences and 9 commercial. The treatment plant
continues to operate very efficiently. The volume being treated has increased
to 138,000 GPD. To date we have 951 connections to the system.
As instructed by Council at the last meeting, I conferred further with Poynter -
Harder regarding the proposed improvement of Broome Street west of Twelfth Street.
It is recommended that Akdoruk, Brownnell, Campanile & Associates be authorized
to proceed with developing a recommendation as to necessary improvements. This
cost should not exceed a couple of hundred dollars. Poynter -Harder has agreed
to provide the survey and necessary topo information upon which the engineering
recommendation will be based. No drawings or specifications will be prepared
in the recommendation stage. Should the City and Poynter -Harder agree as to the
necessary improvement and the cost participation of each, the engineers would then
be directed to proceed with the plans and specs. As the developers indicate
a willingness to construct the improvements to the City's requirements absorbing
the bulk of the cost, it seems only reasonable that the City pay for the preparation
of the plans and specs, an amount which will be proportionate to the extensiveness
of the project.
Mayor Smith, Coundilman Beals and I are planning to attend the Florida League of
Cities meeting on October 20-21. It is requested that a voting delegate be
appointed to represent Clermont.
