The packet for tonight's Apopka City Council meeting is only 132 pages long. And the Agenda is one of the shortest in recent history. But one never knows what might be presented during the Public Comment Period or the City Council and Mayor's Reports.
Many items look routine, but there are several items that should prompt some interesting discussions and public comment.
Here is a guide with links to some of the most interesting items on tonight's 7:00 PM Apopka City Council Meeting Agenda.
One proclamation on the agenda. The Apopka High School Bowling Team will be recognized for their most recent accomplishments. Read this and this if you have not been following the team closely.
The first of five items on the “Consent Agenda” is approval of the 44-page Apopka July 2016 Disbursement Report that lists 549 checks that were issued by the City during July 2016. These payments total $2,923,393.
A few payments that caught our attention include:
The “Consent Agenda” is a meeting practice which packages routine and non-controversial items not requiring discussion and/or separate approval as one agenda item. However, any member of the Council can request that any item on the Consent Agenda be “pulled,” and discussed separately.
On September 15th there will be an evening reception at Apopka City Hall. An Evening with the Artist will recognize the artists that have contributed to the beautification of City Hall over the past year. The public will be invited to hear and see what inspired these artists.
The event will include presentations from each invited artist on their favorite art piece and will also include complimentary wine, cheese, and light hors d’oeuvres. Wine will be distributed via a ticket system upon arrival, each adult will receive two tickets redeemable for two glasses of wine during the event. Commitments have been obtained from local sponsors to cover the cost of the event.
Apopka Ordinance No. 2376 requires City Council approval for the sale, consumption and carrying of alcoholic beverages on City-owned property during events or programs.
In June the City Council unanimously approved the appointment of Pat McGuffin to serve on the CRA. Mr. McGuffin advised the City that he would decline the CRA appointment. Mayor
Kilsheimer is recommending the Council appoint Chenicqua T. Williams to the CRA.
In June the City Council approved the purchase a new football scoreboard for the Northwest Recreation complex at a cost of $11,860.10. To help offset the cost the City Council also
approved a $5,100.00 sponsorship from Modern Orthodontics. The John Land Apopka Community Trust would like to donate $4,000 towards the remaining cost.
The meeting is at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at Apopka City Hall.
