CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of January 13, 2014 — Regular Meeting Page 17 of 22 Notice of Public Hearing: The Notice of Public Hearing for Ordinance 13 -1400 was advertised in the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday, January 2, 2014. Staff Presentation: Community Development Director Sandra Smith stated that this was the second reading and public hearing for Ordinance 13 -1400 and gave a brief overview of the ordinance, explaining that the proposed ordinance would eliminate some duplicative language in the City's Code relating to citations and provide for the option of utilizing a Special Magistrate for code enforcement and nuisance abatement proceedings in addition to or in lieu of a Code Enforcement Board. She advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission had approved the proposed ordinance at its November 13, 2014 meeting and were providing a favorable recommendation to the City Commission for adoption of the ordinance. Budget Impact: There is no increase to the City budget. Use of a Special Magistrate will replace the need for an attorney to represent the Code Enforcement Board at each meeting. The cost of the Special Magistrate will be provided in lieu of a City Attorney at each board meeting. Based on information received, due to the reduced meeting time with a Special Magistrate, the attorney costs will be reduced. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Community Development Director recommended adoption of Ordinance 13 -1400 on second and final reading. Public Hearing: Mayor Glancy opened the public hearing relative to Ordinance 13 -1400. The following individuals carne forward: Mr. James Fraleigh, 23 Teresa Court, spoke in opposition to Ordinance 13 -1400, stating he felt it took away the citizens' rights to have a part in governing themselves, and he did not believe it would be cost effective as represented by staff.
