School.

PRESENTATIONS
Fiscal Year 2021 Quarterly Budt,,,et U date
Director Pam Brosonski gave the quarterly budget update for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The
presentation was made via PowerPoint. The purpose of the presentation was to review key revenues and
expenses experience by the City in the first quarter. The City is showing a 46 percent collection rate, but it
is important to note that revenues are not collected equally throughout the year. Revenues collected for
utilities are consistent, and permits and business licensing are ahead of last year's numbers. Director
Brosonski told the Council that state revenue projections are coming in higher than expected, but this will
not greatly impact the budget as the City's reserves need to be made whole again. Overall the spending is
in line with the budget.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Pastor and Ms. James Duffy, 527 Pitts Street, Clermont — Would like to see speed addressed on Pitts Street
including monitoring by the Clermont Police Department. They would also like to see more trees and some
benches so that people can enjoy the lake. They asked a Council for a fountain in East Lake to assist in
circulating the water.
Jim Douglas, 2031 Crestridge Drive, Clermont — Lives behind Southlake Hospital and does not like the
fence that has been built. He is also upset about the lighting from the parking lot. He was told by Planning

March 9, 2021
Fred Logan, 589 E. Broom Street — Mr. Logan informed the Council there is a speed problem on Broome
Street and would like to see some speed bumps. He also would like to see more aggressive Code
Enforcement on abandoned cars in the area.
Stacy Uptain, 11001 Lake Kathrine Circle — Thanked the Council on behalf of the Clermont Sailing Center
for the extra effort put forth by the Clermont Parks staff to make sure the sailing regatta took place. Ms.
Uptain said that 68 national championship sailors from all over the nation attend with a total of at least 126
room nights for the event.. Of the many people that attended, all expressed great appreciation for the City
of Clermont and on the beauty of the community and the quality of the lakes.
Harvey Rosenberg, 300 East Highway 50, Clermont — Expressed frustration at the City's zoning code. He
wants to put up a barbed wire fence as he has experienced theft at business location. He expressed frustration
that he emailed everyone on the Council and no one emailed him back.
Council Member Bates asked for a copy of the email and Mr. Rosenberg provided it to him. Mayor Murry
informed Mr. Rosenberg that he has talked with the Interim City Manager on this issue and it is not a quick
fix scenario.
Mayor Murry requested a workshop be scheduled where the Council can look at the zoning code.
Council Member Purvis informed the Council that he did receive the email and purposefully chose not to
respond as there is an active code case on the property and it is best practice for the Council to not involve
itself in ongoing code enforcement cases.
Mayor Murry, seeing no further comments from the public, closed the floor.
REPORTS
INTERIM CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Clerk Howe reminded the Council that there will be a workshop on March 16 at 6:30PM at the CCC.
CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
City Attorney Mantzaris
- Provided update with Art District. He is having ongoing communications with the attorneys for the
Art District and VP Development.
- Formally informed the Council that the City has received a notice to terminate the parking lot lease
agreement with the Stringfellows. There are about 45 days left.
- Informed the Council regarding the Art District's Conditional Use Permits. The original conditional
use permit for construction of a building over 3,000 sq ft is valid and enforceable.
Regarding the Art District, Council Member Purvis asked if the Art Walk building is having fire prevention
systems installed in accordance with the fire code. City Attorney Mantzaris deferred to Fire Inspector Jenny
Pierce who informed the Council that the Art Walk has submitted for a sprinkler permit.
Regarding the parking lot, Mayor Murry asked about the provision regarding returning the space to its
original condition. City Attorney Mantzaris stated said that he and Interim City Manager Dauderis are

looking into it and will provide an update at the workshop on March 16. He informed the Council that Ms.
Dauderis will also be providing an update on the Dehoyas property.
- Presented bills currently before the state legislature during their legislative session. He highlighted
reasons why it is important to oppose these bills as attacks on municipal home rule. With regards
to short-term rentals, the city is not opposed to the use, but it should be opposed to losing its ability
to regulate them. With regard to home based businesses, it is important for the City to have control
about where businesses may be based. Finally, the City should not allow the state to tell it how to
conduct its own code enforcement. He requested Council consensus to send letters.
Regarding the legislative bills, Council Member Bates stated that he supports the City Attorney's
opposition. He recently spoke to State Representative Sabatini who suggested there may be changes to these
bills.
Council Member Entsuah suggested that these bills might be along the lines of the straw banning bill where
it gets through the legislature, but vetoed by the Governor.
Council Member Purvis asked if a letter was the appropriate avenue. City Attorney Mantzaris stated that
normally they would like the Council to adopt a resolution, but due to time constraints letters were the most
expeditious avenue of communication. Council Member Purvis suggested the letters be strongly worded.
After some additional discussion, the Council gave unanimous consent for staff to send letters.
Council Member Purvis asked how the Short Term Rental bill would affect Home Owner Association
control within their communities. City Attorney Mantzaris stated he would look into the issue and report
back.
CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Council Member Bates
- Provided an update on the Winter Garden road closure.
Regarding the Winter Garden road closure, Council Member Bates informed the Council that himself,
Development Services Director Henschel and Interim City Manager Dauderis attended the Winter Garden
meeting. The Winter Garden Council allowed Council Member Bates as a representative of Clermont to
speak and object to the ordinance. Council Member Bates told the Council that Clermont made three
requests:
1) attend a workshop with stakeholders,
2) table the final hearing of the ordinance until a future date,
3) delay enforcement of the original resolution.
The Winter Garden Council moved forward with the introduction of the ordinance, agreed to workshop
with stakeholders, and agreed to delay the original resolution. Lake County will be putting together a
meeting of the stakeholders. Additionally, there was a meeting at earlier in the week at Winter Garden City
Hall, and there was also a meeting yesterday. All the parties involved learned that Titan has plans to close
the facility within the next 3 to 5 years. There is another meeting scheduled for March 10. There is a final
reading of the ordinance scheduled for March 11, but Council Member Bates believes that the Winter
Garden Council will table for two additional weeks. Council Member Bates thanked Winter Garden for
their willingness to hear everyone out and coming to the table with everyone.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
March 9, 2021
Council Member Bates continued that out of conversations that have already occurred, Titan has agreed to
not use Hancock Road as an alternate route. Some solutions that have been discussed are for the counties
to add additional signage and speed limits for trucks.
There was discussion about restricting trucks to certain times during the day. Additionally, a traffic study
of where trucks are coming from was discussed as its believed that only half are coming from the sand
mine.
City Attorney Mantzaris clarified the Winter Garden City Manager is going to recommend the Winter
Garden Council table final adoption of the ordinance, but it is up to the Winter Garden Council. City
Attorney Mantzaris will be sending an attorney from his office to that meeting.
Council Member Purvis expressed gratitude to Council Member Bates for injecting himself into the issue.
He asked what the Plan B is if Winter Garden moves forward with adoption. Council Member Bates replied
that trucks would take Hartwood Marsh to US Highway 27 to State Road 50.
Council Member Purvis
Attended the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) meeting with City staff and Vincent
Niemeic from the Planning & Zoning Board. Was appreciative of the entities willing to join a letter
opposing Winter Garden's decision.

City of Clermont. Would like to see this as a City featured event in the future.
