ANY OTHER MATTERS
Council Member Humpage explained that Florida Power and L�ht (FPL) response
times have been extended because their service trucks have•to take an altemate route
around the back of the Village. He asked to place them on the December agenda to
discuss giving them the same courtesy as given to school buses and trash trucks for
their service trucks only.

Dear Mayor and Council,
As you are aware I brought np the issue of FP&L trucks crossing our
new bridge much like Waste Management vehicles, school busses and
our fire trucks. To give you a better feel of weights here is a brief
breakdown:
Pumper truck..........34,0001bs. without the water.
� Ladder truck...........44,000 Ibs.
Garbage truck.........44,400 lbs
FP&L truck............29,�0 lbs.
I for one would like this approved for several reasons. Yes, I am �n
electrical contractor, and better response times would benefit resident
customers. Normal trouble calls made by our residents who are
ezperiencing power problems would be better served. Last and
certainly not least, when our first responders require FP&L on site for
safety reasons, it would lessen their response time.
Looking at the above weights, it seems this would be the right thing to
do and not cause problems with the bridge.
Respectfully,
Jim Humpage
