Staff Presentation: Mr. Clifton distributed an inter-office memorandum dated May 20, 2004 to the City Commission outlining the events that have occurred since the May 10, 2004 City Commission and options available with regard to the San Pedro annexation. A copy of Mr. Clifton's May 20, 2004 inter-office memorandum is attached to and made a part of these minutes. Mr. Clifton discussed the various elements of the inter-office memorandum. Mr. Clifton recommended tabling the public hearing and second reading of Ordinance 04-1130 in the spirit of cooperation until dispute resolution meetings with Seminole County took place. Mr. Clifton noted if Ordinance 04-1130 was tabled, and then adopted at a later date, the earliest the referendum could occur most likely would be December 7, 2004. The City Clerk's Office will notify the City Commission in the event it is determined the referendum could be held prior to December 7, 2004. Commission Discussion: Discussion ensued regarding the meeting that occurred on May 17, 2004 between City staff, County staff and attorneys for the Orlando Catholic Diocese, as well as the options available to the City Commission on how to proceed with Ordinance 04-1130. It was noted the two main objections that have been raised by Seminole County are whether the annexation creates an enclave and impacts on County services. It was further noted that the Seminole County Commission Chairman indicated that the County would not be opposed to any voluntary annexations made by the City. Commission consensus was to table the matter to demonstrate good faith toward Seminole County.
