Appointment to the City Community Redevelopment Agency Presentation bv Barbara LiDscomb, Citv Mana!!er: The City is in receipt of a letter from Brenda Carey, Chairman of the Board of Seminole County Commissioners, recommending that Mr. Alan Trueba be appointed to the Casselberry CRA by the City Commission. Mr. Trueba is the owner/President of American Family Funerals & Cremations, 3286 Highway 17-92, Casselberry, Florida. Commissioners Miller, Hufford, Solomon and Doerner stated that they would prefer to have John Mestopolous, Seminole County CRA Coordinator for the 17-92 Corridor, as a member of the CRA instead of Mr. Trueba. Mayor Goff stated that in his opinion, the appointment of Mr. Mestopolous would be a conflict of interest because he is an employee of the County. Ms. Lipscomb stated that Mr. Ken Hoffman, Casselberry appointee for the CRA, has accepted an appointment with the State of Florida Electrical Contractors' Board and he may be vacating his position on the CRA Board. The City Attorney will clarify the issue of dual office holding.
