Beef over Today Show visit, no more flouride and what to do over private pickleball noise
The City Commission also approved a new lease for the Benefit Shop at its most recent meeting

Winter Park has had it up to the top of the Knowles Chapel steeple with giving away free publicity to the neighboring city of Orlando.
Earlier this month the Today Show filmed its third hour from Central Park as small crowd gathered to watch.
The city waived the park rental fee for Visit Orlando, the tourism marketing agency that coordinated the Today Show’s visit and that receives more than $100 million in taxpayer dollars intended to benefit the region.
Mayor Sheila DeCiccio said she was surprised that the show never thanked or even mentioned Winter Park on air. She said Visit Orlando representatives told the city the reason is because the show was an Orlando event intended to promote Orlando.
“I propose on a go forward basis that visit Orlando gets nothing from Winter Park for free unless credit is given to Winter Park or they can pay fees like anyone else renting the park,” DeCiccio said.
“They didn’t say at all they were in Winter Park?” asked Commissioner Craig Russell.
“Not one word,” DeCiccio responded.
“Oh, no you can’t … no …,” Russell said back.
“And they stayed at the Alfond Inn, too,” DeCiccio said, referring to the luxury hotel owned by Rollins College just off Park Avenue.
The segment featured an interview with Michael James Scott, the Broadway actor known for playing the Genie in Disney’s musical version of Aladdin who grew up in Central Florida and attended Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, as well as chefs from three Orlando restaurants.
The Today Show snub comes on the heels of the New York Times’ “36 Hours in Orlando,” which recommended readers actually spend many of those hours in Winter Park and featured a large photo of Winter Park’s Scenic Boat Tour.
Fluoride to leave city water
City Manager Randy Knight told commissioners that the city would stop adding fluoride to its water system by July 1 in order to comply with a recently passed state ban.
He said it’s possible fluoride will be out of the water system before July because the city’s supply may run out before then and the utility did not order more because of the new state law.
At a Utilities Advisory Board meeting earlier this week, Water Utility Director David Zusi said the concentration of fluoride in Winter Park’s water was low and the additive does not affect the taste or water softness or hardness. As a result, residents won’t be able to detect the change, he said.
Alison Yurko, a member of the advisory board, said she wanted to make sure customers know that the change is a result of state law rather than local policy.
“I think this is going to have a very unfortunate effect on kids at the lower income level who don’t go to the dentist,” she said.
The American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics support using fluoride to help prevent cavities in children, especially in underserved communities. They also cite a lack of evidence for health harms when fluoride is at the current low levels used in most community water systems in the U.S.
The Florida Legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis backed the state ban in the wake of renewed scrutiny over the additive driven by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., national secretary of Health and Human Services, who has called fluoride an “industrial waste,” citing its potential health risks.
Public health studies conclude that risks related to fluoride exposure are generally associated with receiving either too much or too little and do not apply to the low concentrations found in most public water systems.
Private pickleball? Commissioners worry over noise
There’s been a change of plans for a prominent corner near Park Avenue that may lead to new city regulations for private pickleball courts.
But Jon Phelps’ idea for the property has changed said City Planning & Zoning Director Allison McGillis. Plans now call for a one-story building that still includes a Storyville Coffee, but also a swimming pool and pickleball court to go along with the private residence portion of the building.
Commissioner Warren Lindsey raised concerns about potential noise from the courts so close to other businesses.
“I think we need to proactively address private pickleball courts,” he said.
McGillis said the city’s codes include regulations related to tennis courts, but not pickleball courts, and said noise complaints related to pickleball are common.
Commissioners asked her to come back to the group with recommendations for how to revise the city’s rules to address noise and any other concerns.
New lease for Benefit Shop
At the previous City Commission, members voted to pursue a 3-year lease with the Benefit Shop, a thrift store that once operated out of City Hall and raises money for local charities by re-selling household goods and clothes.
But on Wednesday the Commission voted 3-2 to change the term to five years with Commissioners Marty Sullivan, Kris Cruzada and Craig Russell in favor.
The shop, a longtime fixture in Winter Park, wanted a 35-year lease to move to the Lake Island Park building in MLK Park. But commissioners felt that was too long and limited future commissions who might need to consider additional uses for the building at some point.
Debbie Glaser, a co-manager of the shop, said it plans to re-open on Fridays and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the new location beginning this week. She said the shop now has more than 20 volunteers and hopes to add additional hours in the future.
Winter Park city officials also said they were attempting to help Austin’s Coffee relocate and will try to negotiate a new lease with the Benefit Shop

The City Commission approved changes to the historic preservation ordinance that are designed to discourage unapproved demolitions with clear potential consequences and to ensure homeowners don’t deviate from plans approved by the Historic Preservation Board.
Commissioners voted 4-1 to pass “Version 1” of the changes that say owners who knock down or dramatically alter historic structures without permission after going through the certificate of review process can be required to build the structure back exactly as it was, including using authentic exterior materials. In addition, they could lose any variances the historic board granted that allowed the project to move forward.
Commissioner Marty Sullivan was the only dissenting vote because, he said, he wanted “Version 2” of the proposed changes, which included the option of a financial penalty for such unauthorized demolitions capped at 30% of the building’s county assessed value — though Sullivan suggested the cap increase to 60%.
“I think 30% is way too little,” Sullivan said.
The debate over the ordinance, which had been delayed from earlier this year, centered on whether or not to include the monetary penalty, which drew fierce opposition from some in the city’s historic districts who viewed it as far too punitive.
But the version approved by the commission is potentially even more punitive when you consider the cost of losing variances on setbacks or other building rules.
Variances, or exceptions to the usual building code, are viewed as a clear benefit for historic owners to encourage them to preserve the outside architecture of buildings. For example, if the typical required buffer between a home addition and the property lot line is 20 feet, historic owners might be allowed to build to 10 feet.
As a result, losing those variances, as the ordinance says could happen in the case of an unauthorized demolition, is a “huge deal,” said John Skolfield, a builder who was elected earlier on Wednesday to serve as chairman of the Historic Preservation Board.
“If you think about the house in question that started all of this … we approved a beautiful design that brought it to 7,200 square feet,” he told the commission. “You have to build back without the variances, that’s a $500,000 to $800,000 ding.”
Last year, however, all but a small portion of the first floor and the chimney was torn down. The contractor agreed to pay $100,000 to make amends for the mistake and the project was allowed to go forward.
The episode set off a major debate and led to the ordinance changes.
Winter Park has about 400 historic structures including the College Quarter and Virginia Heights districts and individually designated homes and commercial buildings.
The historic board only has a say when it comes to major exterior alterations of buildings, not minor changes or repairs or interior projects. Window and door replacements or roof replacements, for example, are not required to come before the board so long as they stay consistent with the architectural style and must only follow the typical building permit process.
The new ordinance also requires additional checks on construction plans to make sure what the contractor does matches approvals given by the board. And it requires additional due diligence to make sure owners and contractors are aware earlier in the process if there is a part of the structure they won’t be able to save.
The city purchased the property rented by Austin’s and other businesses last year and the coffee shop has known for at least a year that the lease will end so that the city can use the property to add a turn lane on Fairbanks Avenue and make drainage improvements.
City Manager Randy Knight said the city has hired a broker to help Austin’s find a new location, will allow the owners to take anything from the property that they wish to take and will also return the security deposit.
But for Austin’s loyal supporters, that isn’t enough.
Speaker after speaker bashed the city for taking away a place that they said is considered a “sanctuary” by many in the arts community.
Mayor Sheila DeCiccio said she was frustrated by the misinformation she heard.
“We are not evicting Austin’s … they have had over a year to find a new space,” she said. “… We are paying a Realtor to help them.”
She explained that the intersection at Fairbanks and Denning is busy and accident prone and residents deserve a solution. They also deserve a fix, she said, to the drainage and flooding problems that occur in the area.
“Please take that into consideration when you criticize this commission,” she said.
Benefit Shop lease uncertain
The city is attempting to negotiate a new lease with the Benefit Shop, a thrift store that raises money for local charities by selling used household goods and clothes.
The group operated in City Hall for years but the space is now needed by city staff. The Benefit Shop is interested in moving to a small building at MLK Park where the city just spent $10,000 to fix the air-conditioning system.
But the Benefit Shop wants a lease that extends to 35 years with the city covering all major costs such as maintenance and insurance.
DeCiccio and other commissioners said that term was too long and could prohibit future commissions from additional uses of the building. The commission voted to attempt to negotiate a three-year lease for $1 each year at the Lake Island Park building. The Benefit Shop would be responsible for the insurance beginning in its second year.
A final deal, if reached, will come back to the commission for approval.
An unapproved demo, a $100k penalty and hours of debate
How a demolition in College Quarter led to proposed changes to Winter Park’s Historic Preservation rules, which will be up for a vote Wednesday by the City Commission
May 13, 2025
By Beth Kassab
A year ago, custom builder Charlie Clayton stood before the Historic Preservation Board and apologized, offering to make amends for the unauthorized demolition of a large portion of 965 Lakeview Drive, a 1936 home overlooking Lake Virginia in the College Quarter Historic District.
“I can’t take back what happened,” Clayton told the board on May 8, 2024. “… My interest is not to decimate the resources of the city … I’m not a guy who goes in and tries to destroy the town. I don’t get in trouble like this, but I’m in trouble now.”
Clayton said he even went door to door in College Quarter, one of the largest collections of near-century-old homes in the region, to explain how the second floor of the house was torn down, leaving just the chimney and a small portion of the first floor standing.
The board had only approved the demolition of a garage behind the house and the city ordered work to stop on the project when it learned of the demolition.
Clayton blamed miscommunication with his crew on the site and told the Historic Preservation Board he was prepared to pay $25,000 toward the city’s Historic Preservation Fund and complete the project in a way that would deliver the same end result — a new face on the front of the house that adds additional second-story windows and removes historically inaccurate columns added before the current historic preservation rules were in place.
A photo from the Orange County Property Appraiser shows how the home at 965 Lakeview Drive looked in 2023. The above image shows what the home looked like last year after demolition.
Ultimately, the historic preservation board and staff negotiated the payment to $100,000 and allowed the project to continue. Clayton paid the money the next day.
The board, though, could have issued what some preservationists argue would have been a harsher penalty: Require the homeowner and contractor to reconstruct the home exactly as it was and take back the building variances granted to the project that allowed the homeowner to add square footage to the home.
That choice — a financial penalty or a requirement to build back what was lost and lose valuable variances — will be at the center of the debate expected Wednesday when the City Commission considers proposed changes to the Historic Preservation ordinance touched off by what happened at the Lakeview house.
Commissioners will decide if they want the ordinance to explicitly offer the option of a payment (capped at 30% of the structure’s assessed value) in the event of an unauthorized demolition. Or if they will lean more heavily on the threat of removing variances and requiring reconstruction of an improperly demolished building.
The proposals follow a year of intense debate over the demolition and the historic preservation board’s response.
Ryan Phillips, who owns the home, recorded a conversation with a board member on the sidewalk in front of his house without the board member’s permission and used that to allege he was threatened and treated unfairly.
He spoke at multiple public meetings to allege impropriety over the city’s request that Clayton pay the penalty and lodged state ethics complaints against members of the historic preservation board, a city attorney and former Planning Director Jeff Briggs.
The Florida Commission on Ethics dismissed all eight of those complaints on April 30 because of a “lack of legal sufficiency.”
Phillips and Clayton did not respond to messages seeking comment for this story.
The variances Phillips was allowed to keep for his new construction after the demolition allowed for the home to grow from its original size.
Such variances are key perks for homeowners in historic districts, which enforce architectural standards for the exterior of homes.
Members of Winter Park’s Historic Preservation Board, along with city staff, say they have a job to do: maintain the historic character and authenticity of some 400 properties in the city’s resident-approved historic districts and individually-designated sites.
Their job is not, as retired Planning Director Jeff Briggs once put it, to be the “Historic Replica Board” — or one expected to sign off on every requested demolition or ignore violations of the city’s code. That would render the group a toothless overseer of new construction.
“Basically, it opens the door for everyone to ask for forgiveness and not permission,” Briggs said of violations that harm or destroy historic structures without the board’s approval.
And while the Lakeview house is a recent example of an unauthorized demolition. It’s not the only one.
At the historic preservation meeting last month member Lee Rambeau said changes to the ordinances are needed and she was in favor of adding explicit language about fines.
“I’ve seen a number of properties come before us and the final outcome did not look like what we approved,” she said.
Proposed changes to the ordinance also include stricter application requirements and add a “pre-application” review by the board so that property owners can receive early design feedback before spending a lot of money on detailed renderings. The changes also would require property owners to give more detailed information about the materials they will use and architectural elements.
The change also attempts to cut down on unexpected requests for demolitions after a project starts by requiring applicants to submit a “due diligence assessment” identifying all proposed demolitions or alterations in advance.
A number of historic property owners, including Clayton, spoke out at a community meeting earlier this year against including fines as part of the proposed changes.
At the Historic Preservation meeting in April the board ultimately voted to recommend the version of the ordinance without the fines.
Aimee Spencer, who recently rotated off the board, said that version is potentially harsher on homeowners.
In the case of the Lakeview house, she said, the board attempted to “exercise empathy and kindness” and not penalize the homeowner for work done by the contractor without his knowledge. The project was allowed to proceed as planned rather than have its variances revoked.
But the case became one of what she saw as a “sore winner,” she said.
Wade Miller, who until last month served as board chairman, also said he saw the rebuild requirement and loss of variances as a harsher penalty.
But members of the public and board members spoke against including the fines in the ordinance.
“If that is what I am hearing from the community and members of the board, then so be it,” he said. “… we will see how that plays out … and I think it ultimately will become a much more severe outcome in the future for homeowners of historic properties.”
Betsy Owens, executive director of Casa Feliz, one of Winter Park’s most prominent preservation stories, said a fine could be viewed by some property owners as a cost of doing business rather than a preservation incentive. A requirement to rebuild a demolished structure is considered a best practice in other cities that also value historic preservation such as Coral Gables or Charleston, she said.
“I think the best way to make things right is to have you rebuild what you knocked down,” she said. “Losing variances is a stronger disincentive than a fine.”
The high-tech light poles are part of the first major overhaul of the city’s central business district in more than 25 years
April 24, 2025
By Beth Kassab
Commissioners approved nearly $1 million from the Community Redevelopment Agency budget for new high-tech street lights along Park Avenue as part of the commercial corridor’s “Refresh” project.
The city will purchase about 100 light poles at $9,300 each that will include “dark sky” lamp fixtures that cast LED lights downward and include two wi-fi receivers, electric hook-ups for cameras and speakers and internal sprinklers for potted plants that will hang from the fixtures.
Commissioner Marty Sullivan asked if the poles could also mist passersby to help keep the avenue cooler during the hot summer months like the mist sprayers often seen at the theme parks. Architect Alex Stringfellow said the idea was considered, but there were already too many features in the light poles and there were concerns among businesses along the avenue about the sprayers interfering with food service on sidewalk tables.
New archway historic signs will bookend the north and south sides of Park Avenue.
Mayor Sheila DeCiccio noted that there is money set aside in the CRA for the project. She said when the city’s electric utility completes its years-long project to underline power lines there will be additional money in the utility’s budget to upgrade light poles across the city.
“Park avenue is clearly an economic engine and in need of a refresh,” she said.
The new streetlights along the avenue will be installed in three phases. The lights in place today are 26 years old and were installed when the street was bricked in 1999.
“They are not only antiquated, they are also internally filled with a variety of unnecessary cords and tubing that have been used for many purposes over the years, have become unreliable in some areas, and use an outdated light fixture,” according to a staff report.
The overall refresh project will also include drainage projects, new landscaping and planters and the installation of historic gateway signs that will stretch across both ends of the avenue. Work on the new signs will likely begin at the end of May.
Earlier this month, commissioners also agreed to a “mobility hub” with Mount Dora-based Optimus Energy Solutions that will include a central rideshare drop-off and pick-up area with covered seating, electric car chargers and electric bike chargers. Optimus will pay for construction and operating costs, according to the agreement, and the hub is expected to be in place this summer.
The total cost for construction related to the refresh project as whole is expected to be discussed in August.
Winter Park Approves School Resource Officer Contract
The resolution came after months of heated rhetoric from Orange County Public Schools
April 23, 2025
By Beth Kassab and Gabrielle Russon
The City Commission approved a new contract for its school resource officers on Wednesday — a deal that calls for Orange County Public Schools to pay the city at least $740,000 over two years.
After months of tense talks, commissioners voted unanimously in favor of the contract with the only comments coming from Mayor Sheila DeCiccio.
“We have always prioritized the safety of our children,” she said. “There was never an issue as to whether Winter Park Police would show up at school … at no time did Winter Park suggest using armed guardians. That came directly from Orange County Public Schools.”
She was referring to a school board meeting earlier this month and an email to parents last year where district officials floated turning to private security for certain schools without an SRO deal.
The new deal calls for the district to reimburse Winter Park $73,000 per SRO for the 2025-26 school year, a slight increase from the previous contract for $72,000 per officer. For the 2026-27 year, the district will pay $75,000.
But the proposed contract also includes provisions so if the district gets additional Safe Schools state dollars, then Winter Park could get paid more too.
Five Winter Park police officers are deployed across Brookshire Elementary, Lakemont Elementary, the Ninth Grade Center and Winter Park High main campus.
A review of public records by the Winter Park Voice shows how city officials and residents responded to the pressure the district put on the city to reach a deal amid rising SRO costs. Winter Park leaders were frustrated by the district’s handling of the situation when they began receiving a backlash last year from residents. Some parents said they were upset SROs could get pulled from schools and armed guardians — a private security force — could be in charge of protecting students, according to emails obtained by the Voice .
The district emailed OCPS families with direct language in mid-December.
“You are receiving this email because you have a child who attends one of the 30 schools potentially impacted by School Resource Officer (SRO) contract negotiations with the cities of Apopka, Ocoee, Windermere, Winter Garden and Winter Park and their local law enforcement agencies. The district has NOT been able to reach a multi-year agreement with them for SRO coverage of the schools within their jurisdiction,” the unsigned district message said. “The School Board strongly believes the safest option is for our law enforcement partners to provide SRO coverage on all school campuses. … Orange County Public Schools understands the financial challenges the cities are facing, but there is simply not enough funds in the State’s Safe School allocation to give more to the local jurisdictions without impacting the classroom.”
The OCPS email also included links so parents could contact officials from the five municipalities.
That sent Winter Park City Manager Randy Knight scrambling to reach OCPS Superintendent Maria Vazquez but the district restricted the superintendent’s access.
“I tried to call you today but was told by the operator that she was not allowed to connect people to your office by phone. She said I have to email you with the topic and request a call back,” Knight wrote Vazquez on Dec. 17.
Knight wrote the first negotiating session for the new contract wasn’t scheduled until Jan. 14 but the district’s “public negotiation strategy” was bad for both sides as he complained Winter Park has subsidized the SRO costs for years.
“In good faith, we operated much of this school year without a contract while we tried to work one out,” Knight wrote the superintendent. “I find it very disappointing that someone at OCPS decided to create ill-will in the community against our elected officials as a negotiating tactic. It unfortunately puts us in a position of having to respond to each of those that write us with the facts of how much Winter Park taxpayers are subsidizing these officers in schools largely made up of non-Winter Park students.”
After the OCPS message to parents, Winter Park officials drafted a public records request for the school district to get “all correspondence/communication to include emails, text messages, transcripts, voice mails, notes between any board member, consultant, superintendent, employee of OCPS or affiliated with OCPS that relates to the referenced subject/email to include who authorized the email being sent.”
The city also wanted other records to understand how OCPS spent its Safe Schools funding, the pot of state money where OCPS pays for SROs.
Winter Park began crafting its own response to tell its side of the story as officials received emails from concerned residents.
“Did you know Guardians are only required to have 144 hours of training versus the over 1,000 hours of training a SRO has in one year?” Leslie Bobolts, the parent of a Winter Park High student, wrote the city Dec. 16. “I urge you to please work with the City of Winter Park police department in reaching an agreement on this urgent matter.”
Frances Ferrato, an economic analyst whose daughter attends Lakemont Elementary, also feared what could happen if SROs were gone.
“Recently, during school drop-off, an SUV mistakenly turned onto the sidewalk where children were walking into school. Officer Alvarado, who is always alert and attentive, immediately stepped in, placing herself between the vehicle and the students. Her quick response prevented what could have been a tragic accident,” Ferrato emailed the city Dec. 16. “I feel immensely safer knowing Officer Alvarado is on duty. … Replacing SROs with less qualified school guardians would compromise that safety.”
Months later, the district brought up the contract standoff again publicly.
School board members slammed Winter Park and the other four cities for not yet reaching a contract deal during an April 1 OCPS meeting.
“There is no other way to characterize that than they are negotiating in bad faith with us, and I am so disappointed and so frustrated,” said school board member Stephanie Vanos at the meeting.
Vazquez told school board members the district is facing an unprecedented financial crisis and urged the school board to reconsider exploring the controversial guardians program.
Knight declined to be interviewed at the time but commented in the online comments of an April 9 Winter Park Voice story.
“I just want to reassure everyone that the quotes from OCPS officials contained in this article do not accurately reflect the actual status of negotiations. The parties are very close to terms,” Knight wrote. “Winter Park, along with the other cities involved in the negotiations, have chosen not to instill fear in the minds of our parents or to negotiate through public comments, as we feel that is unprofessional and unproductive.”
Apopka, Ocoee, Winter Garden and Windermere agreed to the same terms with the district.
Winter Park reaches deal on school resource officers

Orange County Public Schools reached a tentative two-year deal Wednesday with Winter Park and four other communities to continue staffing school resource officers after the two sides were stuck in a stalemate for months.
“Safety of the children and faculty in the schools has always been a top priority for both sides of these negotiations,” said Winter Park City Manager Randy Knight in a statement. “We are pleased to have reached terms agreeable to all entities involved that will keep this long-term partnership of providing School Resource Officers in place through the end of the 2026-27 school year.”
The proposed new contract comes after school board officials said they were going to consider deploying guardians, which is a private armed security force.
“We are grateful to the municipalities for their dedication to our shared goal of fostering a secure educational environment for all students,” said Superintendent Maria Vazquez in a statement. “This agreement represents the commitment we have to our schools and highlights the importance of collaboration in achieving our safety objectives.”

The new deal calls for the district to reimburse Winter Park $73,000 per SRO for the 2025-26 school year and $75,000 for 2026-27 year, according to the terms released by the city of Winter Park.
But the proposed contract also includes provisions so if the district gets additional Safe Schools state dollars, then Winter Park could get paid more too.
The issue is scheduled to go April 23 before the Winter Park City Commission for final approval.
Winter Park, Apopka, Ocoee, Winter Garden and Windermere have been at an impasse with OCPS for months about the cost to pay for SROs.
Five Winter Park police officers are deployed across Brookshire Elementary, Lakemont Elementary, the Ninth Grade Center and Winter Park High main campus.
OCPS, the 8th largest school district in the nation, currently pays Winter Park about $72,000 a year per officer. The cities had been seeking an increase that would cost the district an extra $2 million a year — or about $39,000 for the city of Winter Park.
Either side could terminate the new contract without cause with 180-day notice.
Earlier this month, Orange County School Board members slammed the five municipalities for asking for additional money as the district’s superintendent warned OCPS is facing unprecedented financial struggles ahead.
“There is no other way to characterize that than they are negotiating in bad faith with us, and I am so disappointed and so frustrated,” said school board member Stephanie Vanos at the April 1 meeting. “I would encourage them to remember that we are public education — we are not just a business. We have extremely limited funds.”
Knight declined to be interviewed at the time but responded in an online comment on the Winter Park Voice story.
“The parties are very close to terms. Winter Park, along with the other cities involved in the negotiations, have chosen not to instill fear in the minds of our parents or to negotiate through public comments, as we feel that is unprofessional and unproductive,” Knight wrote. “The current contract is still valid until the beginning of the next school year. Please know that safety of our students is always a top priority of the city. I am confident a deal will be in place before the current contract expires that is fair to all involved.”
