A letter to Mayor P°ol from Utilities, Inc. regarding their certificated area south of the City was discussed. City Manager Saunders informed the Council that we have been requested by the developers of Spring Hill Development to provide them with water and sewer and that this has been placed as a condition on their PUD by the Lake County Planning & Zoning Commission. However, Utilities, Inc. has indicated in their letter they will take every legal action necessary to prevent Clermont from serving this area since it is a part of their PSC certificated area.

CITY OF CLERMONT MINUTES WORKSHOP MEETING April 19, 1994 Page 2 Water Craft Program Mr. Tom Coleman entered the meeting at approximately 7:30 p.m. City Manager Saunders explained that Mr. Coleman would like to start a comprehensive sailing and rowing program at Jaycee Beach. Mr. Coleman presented each Council Member with a hand-out which was an overview of his request which included the rental of sail boats and canoes and utilization of the beach house for concessions. After discussion, it was a consensus that the City would be premature in moving ahead with this type of concession agreement at this point in time, however, once the proposed improvements to the Jaycee Beach area have been completed, the City would be interested in requesting proposals for this type of operation. Council Members encouraged Mr. Coleman to participate in the Summer Recreation Program with some type of sailing or canoe instruction. Mr. Cole left the meeting at approximately 8:15. Proposed Utilities for the East Side of Highway 27 City Manager Saunders indicated that we are moving ahead with the planning of the sewage treatment plant on the Clermont Hills site. He also indicated that the Dept. of Environmental Protection has requested that we provide water service to the approximate 48 EDB contaminated well sites in the Johns Lake Road area. City Manager Saunders stated that because of this request and the pressures from Utilities Inc. to expand their area, the City should consider moving ahead with the establishment of a well at this time on the site to be provided by Clermont Hills Development. All Council Members agreed that we should move ahead as quickly as possible with the installation of this well. Government Day Council Member Ivey invited all Council Members to Government Day to be held at the Church of God on May 1. The service will be followed by a luncheon and all Council Members and their families were invited to attend.
