MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
of the City of Ocoee
FROM: Paul E. Rosenthal, Esq. , City AttorneyKL
DATE: July 12, 1995
RE: Consideration of Scheduling of Public Hearing to
Terminate or Modify Senior Program
This is to follow-up on my memoranda to you of April 14
and July 7, 1995 regarding the City of Ocoee Senior Program.
Budget workshops are scheduled to begin on August 2 . This will
require that the City Commission make certain decisions regarding
the continuation of the Senior Program in FY 95-96. Options
available include: (i) funding the Program; (ii) modifying the
Program and providing funding for a modified Program; (iii)
terminating the Program by repealing Resolution No. 90-06; or (iv)
declining to fund the Program, but keeping Resolution No. 90-06 in
place to allow the possibility of funding in subsequent years.
Resolution No. 90-06 specifically provides that the
Senior Program is subject to the annual appropriation of funds. It
further provides that the Program can be terminated or modified at
any time so long as an advertised public hearing is held in
connection therewith. In order for the City to continue the Senior
Program in its current form, it will be necessary to direct the
City Manager to include funding in the proposed FY 95-96 budget.
In the event the City Commission wants to consider a termination or
modification of the Senior Program, it will be necessary to
schedule an advertised public hearing to consider any such action.
If a majority of the City Commission is inclined to
consider the termination or modification of the Senior Program,
then it is recommended that such a public hearing be scheduled for
The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
of the City of Ocoee
