On Monday, January 8, 2001, at 10:11 a.m., the City Council met for a Workshop session in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 400 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida.

 

Present: 

  • Mayor-Commissioner Glenda E. Hood
  • Commissioner Don Ammerman, District 1
  • Commissioner Betty T. Wyman, District 2
  • Commissioner Vicki Vargo, District 3
  • Commissioner Patty Sheehan, District 4
  • Commissioner Daisy W. Lynum, District 5

  • Amy T. Iennaco, Interim City Clerk
  • W. Scott Gabrielson, City Attorney
  • Police Officer D.W. McKinnon, Sergeant-at-Arms(*entered the meeting at 10:15 a.m.)

Mayor Hood called upon Orange County Public Schools (“OCPS”) Associate Superintendent Daniel C. Buckman to give City Council an OCPS construction update. Dr. Buckman used the attached presentation to outline the OCPS five-year $1 billion construction plan.  This plan adds an additional 50,000 seats by the year 2002.  There are 39 projects with a total budget of $687.5 million. Mr. Joseph Mittiga, OCPS Executive Director of Community Relations, explained that an additional $325 million is budgeted for immediate need projects. He also detailed the funding sources for the $1 billion in projects scheduled.  He also noted a $1.2 billion shortfall in the comprehensive needs, portable reduction and new school construction programs.  Mr. Mittiga outlined two possible options for raising the additional $1.2 billion: issuance of 40 year general obligation bonds at the rate of 3 mils or a ˝ cent sales tax for 8 years.  Both options would require voter approval.

 Mayor Hood questioned whether those were really the only two options and asked whether redistricting would help.  Discussion ensued regarding those issues and charter schools.  Council asked how they can help and expressed their support of the School Board’s commitment to renovating its schools.  Dr. Buckman indicated that the City can help legislatively and by supporting any bond or sales tax initiatives proposed by the School Board.  Discussion ensued regarding the extremely high rate of mobility by students.  Mr. Mittiga indicated that 45-50% of OCPS students who begin the school year do not finish it in the same school.  Com. Vicki Vargo asked about school choice and the option of finishing out the remainder of the school year at the former school.  She also questioned OCPS representatives about access to the schools for community meetings and indicated that she felt that principals had too much discretion in those access decisions.

 Council also discussed various partnerships with OCPS such as landscaping, after- school programs and Lynx reduced rates for students.  Mayor Hood noted the diversity in the OCPS system and the challenges stemming from that fact.  She emphasized that the issues of growth cannot be dealt with in isolation.

 The Workshop concluded at 11:22 a.m.
