Municipal Advisory Committee (Metroplan) Report No report. C. Leadership Seminole Board Report Mayor Glancy reported she had attended the meeting on Friday, October 21, 2016. She gave a brief overview of subjects covered at the meeting, including: financial status of the organization; progress of current classes; selection process for replacement of outgoing President Wayne Weinberg; and an update on current statistics on homelessness in Seminole County and progress on strategies and use of grant funds by Leadership Seminole in partnership with Seminole County. After a brief discussion, Commissioner Hufford indicated he may be interested in applying for the next class. Mr. Newlon advised him to look into it further to see what it entailed, and if he decided he would like to pursue this it could be brought up at a future meeting for approval. D. Mayors/Managers Group Report Mayor Glancy reported she and Mr. Newlon had attended a meeting on Tuesday, October 16, 2016 which was hosted by Seminole County. She advised that Seminole County staff had made a presentation about an ordinance they are proposing which would reinforce and strengthen already existing state regulations addressing the impact of fertilizers on Seminole County's water bodies. Mr. Newlon added that the State of Florida had established minimum regulations, but that cities and counties were contemplating passing stricter regulations. He stated this is what Seminole County was doing, taking the lead on developing a proposed ordinance to do this, after which cities could opt to adopt the County's ordinance by reference, or draft one of their own. A brief discussion ensued regarding the negative effect of phosphorous and nitrogen on water bodies and efforts to minimize that effect; enforcement options for stricter regulations; and possible exemptions to current and future regulation of fertilizers. Mr. Newlon advised that at some point this topic would come up to the Commission again, but currently the County was taking the lead on the issue and had simply provided a briefing on where they stood. E. Council of Local Governments in Seminole County(CALNO) Report No report.
