CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of November 14, 2022 — Regular Meeting Page 25 of 30 and Deputy Chief Derrick Becton was designated as Incident Commander for the overnight shift to ensure leadership coverage around the clock. Staff worked very closely with Seminole County Emergency Management staff to ensure the City was operating as needed. Staff handled the situation remarkably well, and both Chief Krantz and Mr. Newlon commended all those who had taken part in all facets of the emergency operations which included staff from all City departments, both those manning the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and those in the field and at the City's water and sewer facilities, and those who managed the lake levels ahead of the storm to avoid any major flooding. The damage assessment team was able to go out earlier than expected, at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, and were able to determine that even though there had been two sanitary sewer overflows, there had been no significant impacts from the hurricane to the City's residents or City facilities. Mr. Newlon again commended staff for their quick and proactive response to this unexpected storm event. He concluded by advising that the State of Emergency declared by him on November 9`' and confirmed by the City Commission on November 1 1 `r' had been allowed to expire at 1:00 p.m. on November 12`x' as it was determined there was no need for an extension. Audience Participation: No one came forward to address this item. B.
