Staff Presentation: Mr. Ed Torres, Public Works Director stated Resolution 07-1753 provides for a Memorandum of Agreement with Seminole County and the municipalities of Seminole County to permit Seminole County to provide mosquito control services within each municipality. During Fiscal Year 2005- 2006, the Joint City-County Advisory Committee directed a subcommittee known as the Stormwater Technical Advisory Committee (T AC) to evaluate the effectiveness of a consolidated mosquito control program. The T AC concluded that there would be significant benefits to a science-based, comprehensive, and integrated program. The proposed program will operate within the Seminole Count Public Works Department and will be phased in over a three (3) year period. Aerial spraying will be conducted on an as- needed basis, in accordance with the municipalities' approval and all applicable Federal, State and local regulations. The agreement will also establish an advisory committee comprising of one (I) representative from the County and one (I) representative from each City. The advisory committee will meet regularly to implement the program and address customer service related issues. Budget Impact: The agreement does not require funding. Funding requests for specific projects to be performed under this agreement will be subject to the City's normal budgeting and approval process. Staff Recommendation: The Interim City Manager and the Public Works Director recommended approval of Resolution 07-1753 as presented. Audience Participation: The following individuals requested an opportunity to address the City Commission with regard to Resolution 07-1753: I) John Casselberry, 700 South Lost Lake Lane, voiced concerns regarding aerial spraying at night. 2) Craig Tull, 420 Ranch Trail, stated spraying for mosquitoes at night time was more effective since that is when they come out and are more exposed. MOTION: Vice Mayor Doerner moved to approve Resolution 07- 1753, as presented. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Hufford. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5 - O.
