SUBJECT: Liquor License - Dot's rare
DATE: January 11, 1971
Jimmy Lee Jackson has scheduled an appearance before the City Council
on January 12, 1971 to again speak on behalf of uoc;s Cafe, 769 East
Montrose Street with regard to an application for a Liquor -Consumption
on Premises License.
As you will recall, Mr. Jackson was advised that inasmuch as this
location is zoned I1-3 which prevents commercial estahiishments but
which he is presently allowed to operate under the "Grandfather Clause",
there was no action the Council could take. It was suggested to
Mr. Jackson that he pursue the possibility of obtaining a liquor license
for this location, qualifying and complying with the provisions of
Section 3-4 of the Code of Ordinances.
On Thursday, January 7 he came by my office to say that he had
contacted the Beverage Department and the Hotel and Restaurant Commission
and they said he could possibly get the license if he expanded his
facilities to meet their requirements. They told him it was a matter
of building expansion which must be taken up with the City.
I advised Mr. Jackson that his facility was a non -conforming use and he
couldn't be allowed to increase the side or area. After a discussion
of some length, he requested to appear before the Council. -
Even though the On Premise Consumption might be a better situation
than the present one, which is consumption in the yards, streets,
etc.accord•ing to Mr. Jackson, I have no alternative but to recommend
a denial of his request to expand.

SUBJECT: Operating Budget for Fiscal Year Ending
October 31, 1971
Gentlemen:
We are presenting for your consideration a Proposed
Operating Budget for the fiscal year, November, 1970 through October, 1971.
The Budget has been prepared in accordance with provisions outlined in Section
13, Paragraph N of the mortgage securing the bonds.
This forecast is projected on the assumption that normal
weather will prevail during the winter months. The past year was about 137
colder than normal. We have adjusted our figures to the norm. The past
three winters have been cold ones for Florida. A mild winter could send our
figures downward.
The other principal factor that affects our revenues is
the size of the citrus crop. The first government estimate predicts a crop 20%
larger than any previous crop. If the estimate proves accurate it should in-
crease revenues by $50, 000 to $60, 000. There is always the hazard of. a freeze
doing away with part of the crop but right now it looks great.
In Florida we walk a tight line with weather. We need
cold weather for heating. However, if it gets too cold we damage the citrus
crop which is disastrous. We read last week in the "Atlanta (Georgia) Journal"
that the mountaineers of North Georgia predict a .severe winter this year.
They say the shuck on corn is thick and livestock are growing thick wooly
coats. The hornets are building their nests close to the ground which is a
sure sign of a right cold winter. So, from these signs it might be the land
of a winter gas men pray for.
Board of Directors October 15, 1970
Lake Apopka Natural Gas District Page 2
During the past year there has been little activity in new
housing except government subsidized housing. in our service area during
the past year approximately 150 houses have been built for low income people.
All of these have been equipped with gas heating, water heating and cooking .
We anticipate about the same number of this type of housing during the next
fiscal year. There will be a few conventional houses built but until there is a
more bountiful supply of mortgage money available we do not expect very much
new home construction .
At the time of last years budget we were pretty excited about a new
General Electric plant. They are now in operation and picking up momentum.
They were unable to get into operation as fast as they anticipated. Now they
are in operation and we expect they will add another $20, 000 to our revenues
during the budget year. Within the next three years they should increase
their gas use approximately $90, 000 per year.
Walt Disney World is still scheduled to open about a year from now
on October 1st, 1971. Central Florida, where we are located will never be
quite the same again. It is still difficult to tell how much it will affect our
service area. We do know that in-depth studies by Economics Research
Associates of Los Angeles and Washington say the econotnicc impact within the
nett ten years will be:
1. $6.6 million in added income:
2. 50, 000 new jobs;
3. 19 million first time visitors to Florida;
4. 27, 000 new hotel/motel rooms;
5. $256 million hotel -motel construction outside the Disney
property;
6. 37, 700 new residential units costing $750 million.
The Disney World in Florida is slated to outdraw Disneyland in
California by a wide margin. Disneyland represents a $126 million invest
Q ment. Walt Disney World is estimated to have a $300; 000, 000 investment
by next October when it opens.
There is no .doubt that Disney will have a terrific impact on Florida.
We expect our area to show tremendous growth as this great enterprise develops.
The highlight of our activity this year has been a rate increase that
we instituted in August for our residential customers and on October 1st we
increased our rates to commercial and large industrial customers.
Board of Directors October 15, 1970
Lake Apopka Natural Gas District Page 3
These rates should produce additional annual revenues as follows:
Residential - $77,000
Commercial - 7 ,000
Large Industrial- 43,000
Total Increase - $127,000
On October Ist Florida Gat; Company increased their rates to us
about $43, 000 annually. They have just announced another increase to take
effect next June of about $12,000 annually.
Our rate increase should increase our profits by about $70, 000
per year. As shown in the budget figures our total gain - including normal
growth, plus the rate increase - should be in a xess of $100, 000 in profits.
This is the year we have been awaiting. The time that we could
resume interest payments. We are confident that, during fiscal year 1970-71
that we shall be able to pay two semi-annual coupons. We plan. to pay the May
and November, 1969 coupons as soon as the money is available. Both coupons
should be paid by June 1st, 1971. We hope to pay three semi-annual coupons in
1972. _..
Now that our earnings are at a level to give us the funds to pay
interest the next problem is to catch up delinquent interest and bond redemp-
tidns that are now past due. We shall be delinquent on four coupons ($407, 500)
and ($177, 000) in bond retirements on November 1st, 1970. Here is a fore-
cast based on estimated growth and future earnings for the next five years.

During fiscal year 1969-70 we re=.clv'.d a p,�;>k of 4,126 cusermer.3
in March, 1970. We have projected a peak number of 4, 667 customers for March,
1971. This will be a gain of 541 custcr:rers.
We expect to increase our customers by an average of 597 per
month. This will incre—ase our revenue by $60, 000. In addition we expect an
increase of $125,000 from the rate increase. We believe this is a cones/-:ive
estimate. We have not increased our interruptible gas sales over last y63.r
even though we have the largest citrus crop in. history. We .have incrrase.d
our commercial revenues on $13, 000 mere thsi the rate increase. We
frankly expect General Electric to incr�-ase their use by $20, 000 to $30, 000,
and they are in the commercial class_iration.

Florida Gas Company at the time the budget was prepared. Since the budg:
was prepared Florida Gas Has files] another rate increase with the Federal
Power Commission to be operative June 1st, 1971. The additional cost of this
increase will be approximately $12, 000 annually. L'lorida Gas now h>?s three
rate increases before the Federal Power Commission that have not been ruled
upon. The district has joined with sever other municipal operations in Florida
to intervene in these rate cases.

There is a cry of gas shortage tbrcughout the industry. The pro-
ducers ( oil companies ) say they can no longer drill for gas at present day prices.
Some feel that the shorrge has been brought about through a squeeze from the
producers in order to up the prices.

Board of Directors October 15, 1970
Lake Apopka Natural Gas District Page 7
Conclusion
Our operating results for fiscal year 1969 -70 were close to budgeted
figures except operating expenses. The costs of materials and wages simply went
up faster than we had anticipated. Our operating expenses will exceed the budget
by $25, 000• For this reason our estimated net profit will be $235,000. This is
$16, 000 below the $251, 000 forecasted in the budget .
We have increased our operating expenses by $30, 000 for 1970-71.
There doesn't seem to be any slackening of inflation at our level.
We believe that fiscal year 1970-71 will be the real turning point in.
our history. This budget shows a return of 9.25% on our investment before debt
service. We need to continue to use some of our cash to continue adding customers
but we are confident that beginning with this fiscal year the bondholders can be paid
a minimum of 5.25% interest each year. As pointed out earlier we expect to be
current by the end of 1976.
Sincerely yours,

C1T1 nlANAGER-S REPORT
The routine business of the City is being conducted &s usual. Since
the first of the year, emphasis has been placed on correcting certain
drainage problems primarily cleaning storm sewers and repairing
inlets as well as sand sealing certain streets. tie are selecting
streets for sand -scaling based en the urgency of f•epairs and the
program for r•esurl'aci;ig under the sanitary sewer project. lie have
also done rather e.xtensiva_ ;:ark on Ryan between Chestnut, and Seminole.
?!e have receive:i a signed riereeinent from ;ir. uilliam Baker .`or the
year lease of iris LP ;as engi11C, '1r. Sr,ythr: is presently arranging
For the inst=.flat€cn of iM LP 4'uel tank. Tne Grand Highway !dell is
temporarily out of service due to a vibration in the motor shaft which
we hope to have corrected in the nr
ear futue. tie Highland :!e11 is
presently on the .tine: suppi:`ng :later.
I have advertised in the January :slue of the Florida Municipal Record
for a Building ufficial. It is my hopes to employ one in the near
f,rtora. I rr1,n C 'rer'ta5r- for r+ Class C Treatment plant Operator
as soon as I am sure of the startina date of the sanitary sewer project.
Appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission, Plumbing Board,
Electrical Board and the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District need to he
made to fill expiring terms. I am presently contacting the members
of the various boards whose terms are expiring to determine their
willingness to serve another term. If individual Councilmen have names
for consideration, particularly for the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District please let me have them for
submission to the entire Council. I will have a list of names for
consideration at the January 26 regula;^ meeting.
Three areas which I am presently investigating with regard to improving
services are animal control, trash collection and sire protection.
I have prepared daily report forms to determine the extent of the
city's involvement in animal control and trash collection. From my
observations thus far, I feed that entirely too many dogs are still
roaming the streets and that trasl; remains at the curb for pickup
beyond a reasonable period of cirre in many cases. I hope to have
sufficient data in the near future to make some changes and/or
recommendations to insure greater efficiency and better service to the
public.
As you vrill recail in the regular meeting of the Council on April
28, 1970 the rates for fire protection outside the city limits were
set at $625 per year for three years for Minneola and $10 per year for
five years for others. The rates are to become effective with
renewals on *day 15, 1971. At the present time we have 122 agreements
for fire protection other than i•linneola. Some of these agreements
are considerable distance from Clermont ill terms of a fire run.
For example, one agreement on Lake Nellie Road is loij miles from the
station ar a 15-18 minute response time.
- 2 --
The best I can tell no formal r-4j'icy has ever been established for
accepting ar rejecting out of city fire protection applications.
It is my feeling that distance and response time should be considered
in this determination. When a fire run exceeds 6 or 7 miles and the
response time exceeds 6 to :.',minutes, it is questionable hove much
assistance can be rendered QArticularly when all we use on out of
city calls is a 500 gallon tank pumper. When one considers we have
only a 15 man volunteer department at full strenth with an average
response to calls of about 50 percent of the force, it appears that
a fire run of 10% miles is excessive. This percentage is smaller
In the daytime than at night due primarily to men working out of the
city. Each time our equipment and manpower leave the City on a call,
we are reducing our response capability in our own community. It is
recommended that the City Council set a distance limit of 0 miles
from the station. This gives a maximum response time of about 12
minutes. It is requested that this limit be adopted at an early
date since reneeial applications are beginning to come into my office.
