Marquis indicated that pursuant to Board direction, staff has printed a brochure entitled, News You Can Use - Annexation?, a copy of which has been filed and made a part of the record. He noted that the purpose of the brochure is to generate questions for individuals to ask in the event they are approached by a municipality regarding potential annexation into the city and to explain the various types of annexations and the procedures required. Mr. Marquis located three areas on a map which are proposed for annexation by referendum by the City of Seminole; and indicated that he had informed the City Manager that the County has objections to portions of two of the proposed areas. He noted that one proposal would create an enclave and most of the area to be annexed consists of commercial developments whose owners are not allowed to vote on the matter, which he believes to be a major flaw in the statute; whereupon, he recommended that the matter be included in the Board=s legislative package for next year as a priority item for the Legislative Delegation to address. He related that another annexation proposal includes the south half of Lake Seminole Park and would result in the park being under two jurisdictions for enforcement of the park rules. In response to queries by Commissioners Seel and Harris, Mr. Marquis explained that the City would not achieve continuity without annexing the south portion of the park; and that the City has not responded to his letter of objection. During discussion with regard to the distribution of the aforesaid brochure, Commissioner Parks suggested that the matter be deferred to allow the members sufficient time for further review, and no objections were noted. 954
