CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of Judy 22, 2013 — Regular Meeting Page 13 of 14 email accounts to avoid the possibility of situations such as this. Advised of a new statute relating to some of the citizens' comments earlier in the meeting. She stated that if a city is named as a defendant in a foreclosure proceeding due to a code enforcement lien, the city has the option of filing a motion to request the Judge to issue an order to show cause why the action is not proceeding in a timely manner. She noted this would not necessarily be appropriate in all cases and would be at the Commission's discretion, but would possibly be an additional tool which could be used to speed up the process of resolving some of these issues. Discussion: A brief discussion ensued regarding the approximate cost involved in pursuing this option; whether other cities were using this and what the success rates were; and in which types of cases this might be appropriate. No report. Commissioner Anthony Aramendia — Seat No. 1: • Reported he had attended the Art & Music in the Park and Food Truck Bazaar event last week and it was well attended. • Requested that there be some discussion of the concerns expressed earlier in the meeting by the Camelot residents at the end of Commissioners' reports. Commissioner Gene Fry — Seat No. 2: Thanked the residents of the Camelot subdivision who had shared their concerns, stating he understood their frustrations and the City could possibly look into ways to streamline and speed up the code enforcement process. Congratulated Ms. Bowman, Mr. Newlon and all the Department Heads for their work on preparation of the budget. Thanked Public Works Director Mark Gisclar and City Engineer Kelly Brock for acting quickly on pedestrian and bicycle safety concerns at the intersection of Seminola Boulevard and Winter Park Drive. He noted that it appeared that Seminole County was going to be making some improvements in that area and he appreciated Mr. Gisclar's and Dr. Brock's efforts in bringing it to their attention. Commissioner Colleen Hufford — Seat No. 4: ® Commended the Public Works Department on their part in negotiating the additional funding for the Water Quality Improvement Projects, and passed along a compliment she had received from a resident about the pipe bursting project.
