CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of June 28, 2021 — Regular Meeting Page 12 of 13 17. CITY COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS/COMMENTS Commissioner Anthony Aramendia - Seat No. 1: • Advised that he has been seeking possible alternate funding for the Brightwater renovation project. • Recently worked with volunteers to collect items that may be of historical interest from Brightwater, including plot maps, photographs, etc., and facilitated the transfer of those items to the Seminole County Historical Museum as a donation from the Casselberry family. Commissioner Andrew Meadows — Seat No. 2: Commended Commissioner Aramendia for his efforts to obtain appropriation of funds for Brightwater, noting that he was excited about the possibility of getting funding from other sources. He agreed that it was worth the effort to try and complete the visioning of the project quickly to see if the City could make the alternative funding happen. Inquired of Mr. Newlon whether staff was still on track to bring information regarding livestreaming to the City Commission in August. Mr. Newlon advised that he would bring something to the City Commission when he was confident he had enough information to present, but his objective was August or September. Vice Mayor Mark Busch - Seat No. 3: Also thanked Commissioner Aramendia for his efforts in seeking funding for the Brightwater renovations. Advised that he had acted as executor for the Estate of Tony Tizzio and probate of the estate had now been completed. He added that Mr. Tizzio had made provision in his Will for a donation to the City of Casselberry to be used for the purpose of providing some type of amenity that would be accessible to people with disabilities, as having cerebral palsy himself, he was a lifetime advocate for those with disabilities. Vice Mayor Busch stated he had a check with him payable to the City of Casselberry, which he presented to City Clerk Donna Gardner for proper processing. Ms. Gardner thanked him and advised that a Consent Agenda item would be added to the July regular meeting to recognize the donation from Mr. Tizzio's Estate. In response to a question from Mr. Newlon, Vice Mayor Busch advised that the Will had not stated specifically how the funds were to be used, but Mr. Tizzio had expressed verbally to both he and Mr. Newlon at various times that he would like it to be used for something that others with disabilities could enjoy, and he most likely had some type of accessible park amenity in mind. Mayor Henson — Seat No. 5: No report.
