CITY CLERK'S REPORT Advised the Commission that a shoreline restoration cleanup project for Dew Drop Pond was scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2015 from 8:00 a.m. until noon and volunteers were still needed. She asked anyone who was interested in participating to contact Natural Resources Officer Marissa Williams of the Public Works Department as soon as possible so there could be a count of how many would be present for that worthwhile project. In response to a question from Commissioner Hufford, Commissioner Aramendia confirmed that Friends of the Park would be participating in the project; however, Hands on Orlando would not be present for this one. 15. CITY COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS/COMMENTS Commissioner Anthony Aramendia - Seat No. 1: Stated he had heard that the City of Maitland was addressing the issue of newspapers being thrown on people's driveways and rights of way, and inquired of Ms. Reischmann if she had any information about this issue. Ms. Reischmann advised she was unaware of anything other than what was in the current Maitland City Code, which was an exemption for newspapers within the regulations prohibiting handbills being thrown to abandoned or vacant homes. She added that generally newspapers are exempted under First Amendment protections. She stated that Commissioner Solomon had also inquired about the same subject, but she had only looked at the current code and had not checked into whether there was any pending legislation on the issue. She advised she would check with Maitland's City Attorney and bring back a report on whatever she finds. In response to a question from Commissioner Meadows, she advised that advertising circulars and flyers did also fall under the First Amendment protections, although not to the extent of newspapers; however, commercial handbills could be regulated more strictly.
