The Lake County Board of County Commissioners met in regular session on Tuesday, April 14, 1992, at 9:00 a.m., in the Board of County Commissioner's Meeting Room, Lake County Courthouse, Tavares, Florida. Commissioners present at the meeting were: Michael J. Bakich, Chairman; Don Bailey; and Richard Swartz. Commr. Gregg (vacation) and Commr. Hanson (attending seminar) were not present. Others present were: Annette Star Lustgarten, County Attorney; Peter Wahl, County Manager; Ava Kronz, Assistant to the County Manager; James C. Watkins, Clerk; Robert K. McKee, Chief Deputy Clerk; and Sandra Carter, Deputy Clerk.
Mr. Watkins gave the Invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Commr. Bailey.
This being the County's Second Annual Student Government Day, various government leaders, such as the County Commissioners, the Judges, the Sheriff, etc. participated by allowing students from various schools in the County to work with them for the day, to see what their jobs entail.
The morning session of this meeting was set aside for the following students to exchange places with the County Commissioners, the Clerk of Circuit Court, and the County Manager, as noted, for the purpose of presiding over a "Mock" Lake County Board of County Commissioner's Meeting, with the subject matter being a road vacation:
Martha Corkum - Umatilla High School (James C. Watkins, Clerk)
Alicia Nicholson - Eustis High School (Commr. Bakich)
Lory Livingston - Eustis High School (Commr. Gregg)
Trevor Gentry - Groveland High School (Commr. Bailey)
Erin Kelsey - Tavares High School (Commr. Swartz)
Leisle Lee - Clermont High School (Commr. Hanson)
Allison Dean - Clermont High School (Pete Wahl, County Manager)
Various members of the Lake County staff pretended to be the petitioner requesting the road vacation, the attorney for the petitioner, and irate residents that would be affected by the road vacation.
After completion of the "Mock" Board Meeting, it was noted that the action the students took was very similar to the action that was taken by the Board when the road vacation request was originally heard and acted upon.
At this time, the students were taken on a tour of the Courthouse Complex and Jail and treated to a box lunch in the Jury Selection Room.
Commr. Bakich called the regular Board Meeting to order.
