CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD Mr.
Vance Jochim, a resident of Tavares who writes a blog on fiscal issues,
addressed the Board. He stated he was
glad the RFP for Lake County EMS services was moving forward but expressed
concern that the RFP did not contain enough information for any prospective
bidders to make an adequate bid. He
commended the County Manager on the selection of the two managers hired into
the County. He also commented on the
Budget Workshop held on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, explaining he could not find a
notice for the change of venue anywhere on the County’s website, the agenda
for the meeting, or anywhere else. He
opined it gave the impression of attempting to hide the information from the
public. ***** Mr.
Paul Richardson, a resident of Clermont and member of the South Lake Tea
Party, addressed the Board stating he thought the Budget Workshop had been
very informative and many questions he had were answered. ***** Mr.
Barry Erckert, a resident of Montverde, addressed the Board regarding the
issue of the prepayment of Educational Impact Fees as well as the payment of
Road Impact Fees. He explained he had
not been properly informed of all the necessary Impact Fees required on the
property he had purchased and as a result of the mandatory fees he was now
facing financial hardship. He stressed
he should have been informed by the Public Works department about the
necessary fees or he would not have purchased the property, requesting the
Board’s help in the matter. Because of
the complications involved in the issue, the Board decided to bring Mr.
Erckert’s problem back as an agenda item at a future meeting for discussion
regarding the possible refund of at least a portion of Mr. Erckert’s payment. |
