CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of June 9, 2014 — Regular Meeting Page 13 of 16 14. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Asked for direction from the Commission as to a City representative to participate in the next Leadership Seminole class. He indicated that Commissioner Aramendia had expressed an interest. CONSENSUS: The Commission agreed by consensus to select Commissioner Aramendia as the City's representative for the next Leadership Seminole class. • Advised that he had been informed by Public Works that the schedule for the Casselberry Farmer's Market would change to Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. —1:30 p.m. beginning June 28, 2014, and that the last Saturday of each month would feature environmentally friendly vendors and be called a "green bazaar". • In response to questions posed to him earlier by Vice Mayor Hufford, Mr. Newlon requested that Public Works Director Mark Gisclar brief the Commission on the Seminole State College banners which were proposed to be placed in the City along the U.S. Highway 17-92/State Road 436 corridor. Mr. Gisclar advised that Seminole State College had approached the City about possibly putting banners up along U.S. Highway 17-92 and State Road 436 which would display the logos of both the college and the City. He explained that there would be approximately 60 banners which would be placed only on aluminum street light poles at about the same height as holiday banners. He added that due to the height, view of businesses would not be blocked. He stated that the cost of the banners, decorative brackets would be borne by Seminole State, and the labor to put them up and take them down would be performed by City crews. He noted that this was simply a partnership between the college and the City to brand and bring attention to both. He added that he was in favor of the idea, but it would ultimately be the Commission's decision whether to place the banners or not. Discussion: A brief discussion ensued regarding concerns about the perception of citizens that the City may receive revenue for "advertising" the college; how installation of the banners would be affected by the City's sign regulations; whether it may set a precedent for requests from businesses to install additional banners; what the cost and life of the banners would be; and the length of time it would take for installation. Mr. Gisclar then shared a copy of the banner design with the Commission for their review. He clarified that installation of the proposed banners would require an interlocal agreement between the City and Seminole State to set out the details. Mr. Newlon also reminded the Commission that the decision would ultimately be made by the Commission and staff would bring the matter to them for consideration through a resolution. He added that the City Attorney would also review the proposal to clarify any legal issues which would need to be addressed. • Advised that with the Commission's approval of Phase 2 of the Neighborhood Improvement Program on the Consent Agenda at this meeting, more paving and road rehabilitation projects would begin, including milling and resurfacing of the intersection at Highway 17-92 and Triplet Lake Drive. 15. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT Updated the Commission on the pending Scott Pleasants litigation, advising that her firm was preparing a Motion for Sanctions based on the claim not being supported by the law or the facts and
