TOWN COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2026
7:00 P.M.
OAKLAND MEETING HALL
CALL TO ORDER:
This meeting was held in-person and livestreamed as a Zoom webinar. Mayor Taylor called
the regular meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. This was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance by
Boy Scout Troop 210 and Invocation by Commissioner McMullen.

COMMISSIONERS ABSENT:

None

PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS:
Presentation – OCPS Chief of Communications Howat presented an overview of the
District’s accomplishments, declining enrollment, budget challenges, and the upcoming
renewal of the one-mill special millage on the November 3rd ballot. He highlighted the
District’s academic performance, including three consecutive A ratings and a 97.2%
graduation rate among traditional high schools. Future leadership changes were also
discussed, including the retirement of the Superintendent and three new School Board
members.
OCPS has experienced a decline of approximately 15,000 students over the past four years.
Contributing factors include declining birth rates, reduced housing turnover, changes in
immigration protections, and increased school choice through voucher programs. The
enrollment decline has resulted in an estimated $64 million reduction in District funding,
prompting budget and staffing adjustments.
He reviewed the District’s funding structure and expenditures, noting that approximately
80% of the budget supports student instruction and related services. The one-mill special
millage helps offset reductions in state funding and supports teacher salaries and benefits,
instructional programs, arts, athletics, and student activities. A portion of the proceeds is
also allocated to charter schools as required by law.

The November ballot measure is a renewal of the existing millage, first approved in 2010,
rather than a new tax. The estimated cost is approximately $28 per month for a home with
the median assessed value. He encouraged voter awareness and provided information about
the ballot measure, voting deadlines, and OCPS communication channels.
Mayor Taylor asked if any commissioners had any questions and/or comments. With no
questions or comments received, the Mayor thanked OCPS Chief of Communications Howat
for his presentation.
Presentation – Tiffany Mangold, CPA, Purvis Gray, presented the audit results for the
Oakland Avenue Charter School (OACS) Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2026. The school
received an unmodified opinion, indicating that its financial statements were fairly presented
in all material respects. She reported no material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, or
material instances of noncompliance. The prior-year finding related to segregation of duties
was resolved through additional internal controls. No current-year recommendations,
findings related to financial condition, or instances of contractual noncompliance were
identified.
She reviewed the implementation of GASB Statements 103 and 104, noting that the required
reporting changes were completed and did not materially affect the school’s financial
statements. No other changes in accounting policies or difficulties with management were
reported.
Financial highlights included a $759,000 increase in total assets and a $456,000 increase in
total revenues. Total expenditures increased by $35,000, while the fund balance increased
by $681,000 to approximately $1.72 million, representing about 28% of general fund
expenditures. She noted that the school’s fund balance could cover approximately three and
a half months of expenditures if revenues were delayed.
Revenue increases were primarily attributed to additional contributions, capital outlay sales
tax revenue, charter school capital improvement funding, and club fees. Federal revenue
decreased following the expiration of ESSER funding. Expenditure changes included the
purchase of portable classrooms, eliminating approximately $50,000 in annual rental costs,
and required fire alarm system upgrades.
The school exceeded projected revenues by approximately $530,000 and finished
approximately $70,000 under budget, resulting in a favorable budget variance of
approximately $600,000. She concluded that the audit was clean and thanked staff for their
assistance throughout the audit process.

REAFFIRMING AND RATIFYING THE EXISTING WATER AND SEWER UTILITY CONNECTION FEES AND
DEPOSITS PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED BY THE TOWN COMMISSION; PROVIDING FOR AUTHORITY,
CONTINUED EFFECT, ADMINISTRATION, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mayor Taylor announced Resolution No. 2026-04, and Town Clerk Heard read the
resolution title for the record.

Town’s utility connection charges and utility deposit fees. In 2019, the Town adopted an
ordinance that reorganized and renumbered the applicable provisions of the Code of
Town Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
10-27-2026 Town Commission Agenda Packet

October 13, 2026 - Page 3

Ordinances and authorized the establishment of a fee schedule for utility connection charges
and deposits. The fees had not been formally reaffirmed since the ordinance was adopted.
The proposed action is intended as an administrative measure to reaffirm previously
approved charges and deposits under the authority established in 2019. No new fees or
deposits are being created.
He further advised that an ordinance addressing the retention and disposition of utility
deposits may be presented at a future meeting. The proposed ordinance would clarify how
long residential and commercial utility deposits are retained and under what circumstances
they may be refunded or credited to customer accounts. The matter arose from questions
regarding the Town’s current deposit practices and the recommendation that such
procedures be established by ordinance.
Mayor Taylor asked if any Commissioners had any questions and/or comments. With no
questions or comments received, he asked for a motion.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Keller, seconded by Vice Mayor Satterfield to approve
Resolution No. 2026-04 as presented.
AYE: Keller, McMullen, Motley, Satterfield, Taylor
NAY: None
MOTION PASSED with 5 Ayes, 0 Nays.

Town Manager Hui explained that, pursuant to the Town Charter, department head
appointments require approval by the Town Commission. She recommended the
appointment of Nathaniel “Nate” Carver as Public Works Director, effective October 14,
2026, subject to Commission approval. A lifelong Central Florida resident, Mr. Carver brings
more than 31 years of experience in public infrastructure, water and wastewater utilities,
asset management, capital improvement planning, budgeting, and regulatory compliance.
She noted Mr. Carver’s appreciation for Oakland’s small-town character and expressed
confidence that he would be a strong fit for the Town’s culture. She requested that the
Commission approve Mr. Carver’s appointment as Public Works Director.
Mayor Taylor invited Mr. Carver to the podium.
Nate Carver expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to serve as the Town’s Public
Works Director. He shared that the interview process allowed him to meet members of the
Town’s leadership and Public Works team, all of whom were welcoming. Mr. Carver stated
that he looks forward to working alongside staff, building strong relationships, and
contributing his experience to the department. He thanked Town Manager Hui, HR Manager
Woosypiti, and everyone involved in the selection process for their confidence in him. He
emphasized his commitment to serving the community and ensuring residents receive
quality services.

AYE: Keller, McMullen, Motley, Satterfield, Taylor
NAY: None
MOTION PASSED with 5 Ayes, 0 Nays.
PUBLIC FORUM:
Mayor Taylor opened public forum.
Rob Stumpf, 71 Millholland Street, explained an incident involving a door-to-door
salesperson who became belligerent and threatened the safety of his wife and children. He
acknowledged that his own response could have been better but raised the incident as a
public safety concern. He thanked the Oakland Police Department, specifically Corporal
Dozier, for responding promptly, locating and identifying the individual, and documenting
the interaction. He noted that other residents had experienced similar encounters and asked
whether additional measures could be taken to remove individuals from the community more
quickly once concerns about their behavior are identified.
o Chief Esan confirmed that the resident and responding officer handled the incident
appropriately. He explained that the Town Attorney and staff are working to develop
a more enforceable solicitation ordinance. He advised residents not to engage in
confrontations with solicitors who refuse to leave their property, but instead to
contact the Police Department, as refusal to leave may constitute trespassing. The
Chief acknowledged the resident’s concerns and emphasized the Town’s commitment
to improving enforcement measures.
Jon Hammerstein, 306 E. Vick Avenue, reported an incident involving the same door-todoor salesperson on October 1st. He stated that the individual refused to leave when asked
and threatened to return the following day. He contacted the Police Department, and the
individual returned the next day. He also reported that the salesperson had visited his
daughter’s residence, where surveillance cameras captured an interaction with law
enforcement. He expressed appreciation for the Town’s efforts to strengthen solicitation
regulations. He also raised concerns about the release of his police report, which contained
his name and address, to another resident involved in a similar incident, and questioned
whether sharing that information was standard procedure.

October 13, 2026 - Page 5

o Chief Esan explained that the release of the police report complied with Florida’s
public records laws, as the report did not contain information requiring redaction. He
noted that police reports are generally available to the public upon request, subject
to applicable legal exemptions.
Mr. Hammerstein expressed concern that the public release of his information could
discourage residents from contacting law enforcement. He emphasized the potential safety
risks involved and encouraged greater awareness of residents’ privacy and security
concerns.
o Chief Esan explained that residents may request to remain anonymous when
reporting an incident; however, anonymity may limit the Police Department’s ability
to investigate or take enforcement action. He noted that formal complaints may
require an identifiable victim or witness, and that individuals accused of wrongdoing
may have legal rights to confront their accusers.
Mayor Taylor asked the Police Chief whether the Town could adopt an ordinance
prohibiting solicitation throughout the entire community, similar to restrictions that may be
established by homeowners’ associations.
o Town Attorney Olsen explained that municipalities may establish reasonable time,
place, and manner restrictions on door-to-door solicitation. He referenced Florida
Statutes Chapter 501, which addresses home solicitation licenses and related
requirements. He also noted that the Town is working to establish an ordinance
allowing the Police Department to issue citations for specific, one-time code
violations, which could provide an enforcement mechanism for future solicitation
regulations.
o Commissioner Motley noted that state law provides specific signage requirements
for residents to prohibit unauthorized solicitation. She further encouraged residents
to use Ring cameras or other video devices to communicate with solicitors without
opening their doors, as a safety precaution.
With no further public comment, the Mayor closed the floor.

FROM:

Michael Parker, Capital Projects Coordinate� .o/

RE:

LPA0118- FDEP Grant Amendment No. 5

BACKGROUND:
The Town entered into the original Grant Agreement LPA0118 on February 25, 2021. This
grant was for the purpose of assisting in the construction of Lift Station #6, which is now
completed and situated along Catherine Ross Road. The original amount of the grant was
$250,000.00, and the cost of construction was $556,000.00, which did not include
engineering.
The contract with the FDEP was amended (#1) on September 3, 2021, to include the
additional 2021 Legislative Appropriation of $500,000.00. Subsequent delays were
encountered which resulted in the Agreement being amended with time extensions two
additional times (#2 and#3). This funding was ultimately used for the construction of Lift
Station#7, which is located along a future extension of N. Jefferson Street. This lift station
is now in service at a final cost of nearly $1,100,000.00
On November 18, 2025, the original agreement was amended (#4) once again in the
amount of $1,500,000.00. This amendment to the grant, in conjunction with the
$2,000,000.00 Springs Restoration Grant SR014 awarded last year, is providing for design
and construction of the Briley Farm Septic to Sewer project. This project is fully designed
and permitted, with construction bids due back to the town November 19, of this year.
And now we get to Amendment# 5. This amendment, again $1,500,000.00, is to be used
for the future Pollard Street Septic to Sewer project. While this amount of funding will be
sufficient to complete design, it won't fully fund the construction of what is envisioned.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff is recommending that the Town Commission authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment
#5 to FDEP Agreement LPA0118.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
None. This Agreement will provide funding to be used for the next phase of the septic to
sewer initiative.

REVISED GRANT WORK PLAN
PROJECT TITLE: Oakland-South Lake Apopka Initiative

PROJECT BACKGROUND: Historically, the Town of Oakland (Grantee) has utilized onsite sewage
treatment and disposal systems (OSTDSs) for wastewater disposal. Many of the OSTDSs have not been
maintained and have led to the discharge of pollutants into John's Lake, Lake Apopka, and the Apopka
Springshed. The installation of a wastewater collection system has decreased the discharge of wastewater
from existing commercial and residential sites. Overall, the project will allow for the continued elimination
of OSTDSs within the community and will reduce local wastewater pollution.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Grantee will construct extensions to the Oakland wastewater collection
system and 2 sewage pump stations.

The Grantee does not anticipate that the funding under this Agreement will result in a fully completed
project, so this Agreement will cover a portion of the work.
TASKS: All documentation should be submitted electronically unless otherwise indicated and should be
submitted prior to the expiration of the grant agreement.
Task 1: Preconstruction Activities

provided for this task, a list of all required permits identifying issue dates and issuing authorities, and copies
of any surveys, assessments, or other documents funded under this task. Upon request by the Department's
Grant Manager, the Grantee will provide additional supporting documentation relating to this task.
Performance Standard: The Department's Grant Manager will review the documentation to verify that
the deliverables have been completed as described above. Upon review and written acceptance by the
Department's Grant Manager, a payment request may be processed.
Payment Request Schedule: The Grantee may submit a payment request for cost reimbursement no more
frequently than monthly.

STAFF MEMO
ITEM 4c

FLORIDA

MEETING DATE:

October 27, 2026

TO:

Town Commission

FROM:

Finance Department

RE:

Approval of Town Water Rate Increases for Fiscal Year 2026-2027

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with Resolution 2014-06, the Town water rates are increased each October 1st based
on the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.
For fiscal year 2026-2027, the CPI reflects an increase of 3%. As a result, the minimum bill for
residential water will increase by 65 cents - $21.77 to $22.42. Wastewater rates reflect the annual
CPI rate increase also. The minimum residential wastewater bill will increase by 63 cents from $20.95
to $21.58. In addition, residential wastewater usage above 1,000 gallons will increase by 25 cents,
from $8.25 to $8.50.
All other utility rates will be adjusted in accordance with the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI)
increase.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Staff requests that the Town Commission approve the rate increases for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.

FINANCIAL IMPACTS:

These adjustments predict an increase in projected utility revenues, which was used to create the
Town’s utility budget projections.
