CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of March 10, 2014 —Regular Meeting Page 9 of 11 2. Mr. James Fraleigh, 23 Teresa Court, voiced concerns about various issues, including the proposed one cent sales tax; what he perceived to be wasteful spending and unwise use of taxpayer dollars by the City Commission; and his perception that his and other speakers' constitutional rights to freedom of speech were being violated when they are interrupted while expressing their opinions during the public participation portion of Commission meetings. No one else came forward. 14. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT • Thanked the Commissioners for their consideration of the items on the agenda tonight, including the interlocal agreement for the penny sales tax and the Classification and Compensation Study. 15. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT Reported on several bills pending in the Legislature, including Senate Bill 718 requiring that public meetings include a specific description of each matter to be considered and prohibiting Commissions from acting on any matter that hasn't been included on an agenda, and Senate Bill 458 which mandates repeal of all rules and ordinances relating to knives or weapons in cities. Stated that the City had received an inquiry from a citizen about a back yard gun range, and advised there was litigation pending in Palm Beach County challenging the preemption statute. She added that some cities were passing resolutions addressing the issue of back yard gun ranges since it apparently was becoming quite popular and she had provided a copy of a resolution to Community Development Director Sandra Smith in case the Commission wished to discuss the issue at some point. 16. CITY CLERK'S REPORT • No report. 17.
