Goldsboro Trail: Bilal Iftikar, Interim Public Works Director, distributed a memo and
stated that this project is almost complete.
Redistricting Ordinance No. 4265: City Clerk Janet Dougherty distributed a revised
section 3 on page 7 that would allow flexibility to amend the legal description, noting the
legal description is very technical and lengthy. This revision would allow the City Clerk,
in conjunction with the City Attorney, to make such adjustments based upon the technical
input that they receive from staff under the supervision of the City Manager.
Seminole County School Board: Mr. Bonaparte stated that he heard on the news that
the School Superintendent recommended not paying their storinwater fees to the City.
That would amount to $69,690 this fiscal year; and $120,000 for next years' budget. The
City would also loose $11,660 from the Farmers Market for this year as well as $20,000
for next fiscal year. Mr. Bonaparte will meet with the Assistant City Attorney to discuss
this issue.
