6. CITY COMMISSION SPECIAL REPORTS AND REQUESTS:
Mayor Herzberg stated the following will be quick updates, the first will be the update on the
ECHO (Environmental, Cultural, Historical & Outdoor) Grant and restaurant status of The
Center by Planning & Development (P&D) Services Director Ron Paradise. The second
item is the donation process for Deltona Water which will be discussed by Finance Director
Camille Hooper. Next Assistant City Manager Dr. Cooper will discuss recycling bins and
the process for giving them back to Waste Pro if the resident does not want them. The last
item is regarding ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance because recently both
Orange City and DeBary stopped live streaming their meetings due to ADA compliance.
Also, Lake Mary and Oviedo have taken things off their website due to ADA compliance
and the City Attorney will address this issue. She asked for the City Manager to provide a
time line and City Manager Shang replied it was discussed last year.
Commissioner Bradford stated she will be asking for a time frame on the ORC's
(Ordinance Review Committee) review of the ordinance regarding setbacks and she would
like the committee to also look at the sheds, premade sheds. Mr. Paradise replied the ORC
will be looking at setbacks at their next meeting which will be the first Thursday in March and
he explained the time frame which could be up to six months. Commissioner Bradford
stated everyone received several emails from resident Doug MacDonald regarding how
public records requests are handled and clarification needs to be provided or a response
provided to him. She stated she will bring up needing clarification between decisions made
at a workshop compared to at a Regular Commission Meeting. Her problem is that she
asked for clarification to the City Manager's email that she sent out and she was told "read
it, please defer to the minutes below." City Attorney Segal-George replied that in the
Commission's policies and procedures the difference between meetings is defined. If the
question is can the Commission take a vote in a workshop then the answer is no the
Commission can only provide direction. Commissioner Bradford stated her question was
why was the email sent to all Commissioners as if that was an answer and direction was
given. City Manager Shang replied she believed there was direction provided in the
minutes attached to the emails and Commissioner Bradford replied no, there was no
direction.
Commissioner Nabicht stated he will touch upon the CFMPOA (Central Florida
Metropolitan Planning Organization Alliance) meeting.

City Commission Minutes February 18, 2019
Michael Putkowski, he is the only person who can dual office hold. Mr. Putkowski serves on
AHAC (Affordable Housing Advisory Committee) because he is a member on the P&Z
Board so if he is removed from the P&Z Board that will also affect his appointment to
AHAC resulting in an opening on that board. Mayor Herzberg stated she has an open
appointment because her board member did not wish to be re-appointed so it can be
worked out.
