CITIZEN
QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD
Mr. Robert Thielhelm, Sr., Mayor for the
City of Mount Dora, addressed the Board regarding the issue of negligent
firearm discharge.He discussed an
incident involving the discharge of firearms in Mount Dora near the Country
Club of Mount Dora where the bullets had passed within close proximity of the
Country Club as well as homes within the Greenbriar subdivision of the
Country Club.He requested for the
Board to direct staff to research what measures, if any, could be taken to
ensure the safety of citizens and to enact those measures.
Mr. Charles Aldridge, a resident of the
City of Edgewater, addressed the Board regarding property he had purchased in
Astor on Holiday Circle.He related
that, after paying off the loan to prevent the property from going into
foreclosure, he had received a letter from the County stating that there were
outstanding assessment fees and penalties on the property that he would have
to pay.He explained that, after his
attorney had worked things out with the County Attorney’s Office, he had
mailed in the payment for the assessment only but then his check had been
returned with a letter stating that he needed to pay the entire assessment as
well as interest and penalties.He
asked if there was a way to resolve the issue because County staff had previously
agreed to his paying only the assessment owed before changing their
minds.He remarked that he would just
like to pay the assessments owed on the property and have the penalties and
interest waived.
Ms. Yvonne Merton, a resident of Umatilla,
addressed the Board as an advocate for her son who is disabled and travels by
the Lake County Paratransit Bus Service.She stated that due to changes made by the Board to this program, her
son now had to pay $2 each way for the bus ride.She remarked that, with her son’s limited
income, the total of $32 a month was a lot of money and asked why the Board
had made that change.
Ms. Gail Isaac Thomas, a resident of
Eustis, addressed the Board as an advocate for her brother who is disabled
and travels by the Lake County Paratransit Bus Service.She expressed her concern about her
brother, who was hearing and vision impaired, trying to catch a bus because
of the changes made to the paratransit program.
