Commissioner Ensler asked for an update on those groups who have applied for generators.
Ms. LeJeune, Assistant to the City Manager, explained a committee had yet to review the
submitted applications and a list could be provided no later than Monday afternoon.
Commissioner Ensler did not understand the delay to simply review the applications, especially
in light of the fact hurricane season had already begun. Commissioner McCray echoed
Commissioner Ensler's displeasure with the delay. Mayor Taylor commented if a cut in the
number of employees were implemented, perhaps the information would be available sooner.
Commissioner McCray thanked the Mayor for his comment and indicated he, in fact, agreed
with the comment.
Mayor Taylor was frustrated with the staff being bashed on a continuing basis. Commissioner
McCray alleged he was not bashing staff, but he did not see the problem with simply getting a
list of names. He was concerned with staff bashing the Commission also.
Commissioner Ensler reasserted his contention that the Development Department's increase in
its budget was inconsistent with the substantial decrease in revenue. Commissioner McCray
concurred and hoped some answers would be forthcoming. Mr. Bressner replied a detailed
accounting would be provided to substantiate the budgeted figures.

XIII.D.
Reconsideration of the motion to investigate lowering the millage to
7.0 mills.
Commissioner McCray asked for the exact percentage of the millage rate and Mr. Bressner
replied it was 7.24 mills. Mayor Taylor explained he wanted to reconsider the motion for the
City Manager to re-evaluate a rate of 7.0 mills.
Commissioner Ensler clarified his motion directed the City Manager to get as close to 7.0 as
possible. Commissioner McCray also would prefer a rate as close to 7.0 as possible. Mayor
Taylor did not intend to go below 7.2 and he did not feel staff should go through the time and
effort to manipulate the figures.
