CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD

 

Mr. Joseph Rudderow, a resident of the Plantation at Leesburg, addressed the Board stating that he was concerned about the proposed redistricting maps and expressed that according to a recent article in the newspaper, there was a strong movement to put two commissioners in the South Lake area.  He noted that his community, as well as many others on Highway 27 in Leesburg, should not be considered part of the South Lake area, and emphasized that the Board should keep in mind that the intent of redistricting was to have a fair distribution so that everyone was equally represented.

*****

Mr. Paul Richardson, a resident of Clermont, stated that he would not be in attendance for the redistricting public hearing on August 30, 2011, so he wanted to relay to the Board that he supported the option 2 district map.

*****

Ms. Ginger Martin, a resident of Summit Greens in Clermont, addressed the Board regarding the approval of a traffic signal at the intersection of Hancock Road and Diamond Club Drive.  She expressed that the resident who brought up the issue did not represent the views of the entire Summit Greens community, noting that it was never discussed by the Homeowners’ Association Board of Directors or the other residents.  She added that even with a golf club adjacent to that intersection, there has never been a traffic issue and recommended that the Board rescind their vote for the traffic signal because the residents did not want it nor was it needed.

*****

Mr. Jake Farley, Mayor of Astatula, explained that he was also concerned about the redistricting maps and stated that even though the maps needed to be updated, major redistricting could ultimately be harmful to the citizens.
