Workshops Set
Possible Workshop dates were discussed and City Manager Saunders stated that he
would bring the dates back to them at the next Council meeting.
Utilities, Inc.
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 Manager Saunders stated that he would keep them informed as to the progress of
this issue.
Water and Sewer Service for Knapp Property
The agreement for water and sewer service for Bob Mandell for the Knapp property
and future phases of Greater Pines was discussed. Council Member Turville
reqUested that we receive test results of Greater Utilities water supply prior to entering
into the agreement.

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.
