WORKSHOP MEETING
MARCH 20, 1991
A Workshop Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was
held Wednesday, March 20, 1991 in the City Hall Conference Room.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Mayor Pool with the
following Council Members in attendance:' Mayor Pro Tem Turville,
Council Member Dupee, Council Member Cole and Council Member
Norquist. Others present were City Manager Saunders and Lawson
Wolfe, President of CBS Industries, Inc.
DISSTON AVENUE PROJECT
City Manager Saunders distributed a packet of information
concerning the Disston Avenue project to those present. The packet
included three suggested alternates for calculating the total
assessment for the street. After review of the alternatives
presented by Mr. Saunders and others presented by Mr. Wolfe, it was
the consensus of Council that the assessment be calculated as
follows:
Total Cost of the Project - Prairie Const.
Legal
Springstead Engineering, Inc.
Deduction for the difference between the
allocation of the Disston Avenue portion of
the job between the low bidder and one other
bidder who stated that portion of the job
could be done for $4,533 less that what was
awarded to the low bidder
Total adjusted cost of project
$58,795
725
24,206
-4,533
$79, 193
It was further explained that based on the front footage, Mr. Wolfe
would pay 49.46$ of the cost, but he would receive a $9,700 credit
for the previously completed surveying and engineering work paid
for by Mr. Wolfe. This leaves a balance of $29,468.86 to be
assessed to Mr. Wolfe.
Mr. Saunders stated that he did not agree with this assessment
because the surveying and engineering work originally completed by
Mr. Wolfe, were not duplicates of the work done by City Engineer
Springstead and should not be credited to Mr. Wolfe. It was also
explained that the Council must readvertise and go through the
procedure again due to a required resolution not being publicized.
Mr. Wolfe left the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
WEED REMOVAL - SPARKLING WATER LAKE
The next item discussed was that the contractor removing weeds in
Center Lake has proposed to remove the weeds in Sparkling Water
Lake.
After a brief discussion, it was the consensus of Council to
proceed with the project. City Manager Saunders stated that he
would bring this matter before Council at the next regularly
scheduled meeting for a budget amendment.

Council Member Dupee questioned if Sunset Lake should be included.
After a brief discussion, it was the consensus of Council that the
weeds were not a problem in the lake at this time.
CENTER LAKE - WEEDS ABOVE THE AATERLINE
Removal of the weeds located above the waterline of Center Lake was
next discussed. City Manager Saunders suggested either herbiciding
the area or cutting them with a weedeater. After discussion, it
was the consensus of Council to do a test area with a herbicide and
monitor it to see if there would be any effects from erosion. The
remainder of the weeds will be cut.
FEE INCREASES
The next item discussed was the proposed increases in fees charged
by the City's Planning and Zoning Department. City Manager
Saunders explained that this item would be on the next agenda.
PROPERTY PIIRCHASE
Mayor Pool then stated that he would like the City to consider
purchasing the Thomas property across from Bishop Field. He then
requested that discussion of this matter be placed on an upcoming
agenda for Council consideration. City Manager Saunders stated
that he would do so.
PRECINCT 15 - ELECTION SITE CHANGE
It was reported that the City had received a request from Emogene
Stegall, Supervisor of Elections, to move Precinct #15 from the
Police Station Council Chambers to Jenkins Auditorium due to the
increasing size of the precinct and the pending renovations to the
Police Department building.
The City Manager then asked if the Council wished to provide use
of the auditorium to the County at no cost, and it was the
consensus of Council to do so.
AMERICAN FLAGS AND PATRIOTIC BANNERS
It was then explained that there were some area businesses and
individuals raising money to place American Flags and patriotic
banners in various parts of town to welcome home the Persian Gulf
troops and they planned to leave the flags and banners up through
the Fourth of July. It was the consensus of Council to allow the
display.
