The Orlando Sentinel, Monday, January 25, 1988 BREVARD Seminole may study resort tax By Mark Andrews OF THE SENTINEL STAFF SANFORD With an eye toward tapping a revenue source that other counties enjoy, Seminole commissioners Tuesday will discuss reviving their long-dormant tourist development council to consider enacting a resort tax: Commissioner Sandra Glenn said last week she will ask the other commissioners to authorize a staff study of the revenue potential of a resort tax and to ask the nine-member council to study the pros and cons of starting one. "It appears this is almost an expected tax from what I've seen around the rest of the country," Glenn said. "I just think it's a source that at least needs to be studied." If voters approve, counties can impose up to a 3 percent surtax on the rates charged for short-term accommodations, such as hotels, motels, campgrounds and recreational vehicle parks. The money can be used for such purposes as tourism promotion; construction of arenas, convention centers, stadiums and other tourist-oriented facilities; and lakefront restoration or improvements to public attractions, such as zoos. With barely more than 3,000 hotel and motel rooms in the county, Seminole ranks far behind Orange, Osceola or Volusia counties in how much money it could raise.

Supporters calculated last year that a 2 percent tax in Seminole would generate up to $500,000 a year. Still, Glenn said, that kind of money could go a long way toward renovating the Central Florida Zoo, sprucing up lakefront parks, or advertising Seminole as a destination for tourists and business travelers. Seminole has no business trying to build an arena or convention center, she said. The county's visitors and convention bureau has been pushing for a tax for years to raise funds for promotions. Bureau president Peggy Fondale said there is wide support among owners of the county's hotels, motels and attractions for the tax because most travelers seem to expect it.

Nude clubs draw scrutiny after dancer's death who for 30 years has represented bar owners in South Florida. Although the clubs are prevalent, they seldom are held up to public scrutiny.

The people working in the multimillion-dollar-ayear industry prefer the isolation. And police only occasionally investigate them. Several counties may soon outlaw the sale of alcohol in places featuring nude or topless entertainment. JACOB COBB, 69, 3130 Utah Drive, Deltona, died Friday.

But the company has excavated and sold $178,350 worth of clean soil that Circuit Judge Fred Bryson said it could take to pay for JUDGES From B-1 the operation, court records show. In August, Bryson gave K.B.H. Construction Co. of Largo four months to complete the cleanup. Pinellas County officials contended that pollutants from the landfill were seeping into a major underground source of the county's drinking water.

But The Tampa Tribune quoted state environmental officials and owners of the property as saying the landfill was not polluting the Byrd was reprimanded months later by the Florida Supreme Court. He also had been reprimanded by the Supreme Court in December 1984 for organizing gambling at a private golf tournament. Judge Bernard Muszynski began presiding in Osceola in September 1987, several months after the start of a Judicial Qualifications Commission investigation of his February 1987 threat to jail two janitors for arguing with his trial clerk over a desk that was to be moved. Those charges were dropped. Muszynski was reprimanded by the state Supreme Court in 1985 for threatening to cite an Orlando police officer for contempt after the officer refused to lower the volume on his police radio in a restaurant.

Although circuit judges list their preferred assignments, the chief circuit judge makes final decisions. Chief Judge William Gridley said most judges assigned to Osceola have volunteered to go. He said he does not use the presence of controversy to decide on assignments. "It could look like that," Gridley said. "The chief judge does have the final say-so, but it is a matter of chance.

So far, no one has been ordered to go anywhere." But Gridley said that if there had been no volunteers, he would have used recent events to help determine who gets an Osceola assignment. He said judges could benefit from removing themselves from unfavorable attention and serving in Osceola. "If a judge would like to get a little and in a smaller county, the pace down there has been such that it would be a nice place to sit," Gridley said. Wills speaks highly of the judges who have been assigned to Osceola. But to him, their time in the county is clearly meant to be a break from controversy.

"It gives them an opportunity to catch their breath," Wills said. "It gives them a chance to calm Circuit judges run for re-election in Orange and Osceola County every six years. Some court observers said a stint in Osceola may give judges a chance to avoid the attention of the large voter bloc in Orange. They said judges can come to Osceola, lay low for a while and return to Orange. Mention of the issue draws snickers and knowing glances from many in Osceola's court system, but no Brevard obituaries of the Temple Shalom.

Arrangements entrusted to BRINSON'S FUNERAL HOME, 726 S. Tampa Orlando. James "Bobby" Martin, who owns the property along with his two brothers, missed a similar deadline last summer, and Bryson jailed him for more than two months on a contempt charge. The construction company is a subsidiary of C.P. Ward which 1 has won many Pinellas County contracts.

Pinellas County Administrator Fred Marquis said some of the contaminated material has been removed. one spoke against the judicial abilities of Baker, Byrd or Muszynski. Some said their assignments to Osceola are coincidence. "It's talked about; it's joked about," said a local attorney who asked not to be named. "But I don't see any master plan.

I don't think this is like a Siberia where chief banishes those who have been bad." Lois Stanhope, Osceola's court assistant administrator, said she Baker did not believe judges go to Osceola to avoid the heat in Orange. She said she has too much faith in the system. "I don't think it works that way," Stanhope said. "These are good men. They're good judges.

Let's not fault them just because they came to Osceola County." Stanhope said the judges work hard and face larger caseloads than judges in Orange County. She would not discuss her opinion on whether the assignments were coincidence. "I believe in letting old dogs lie," she said. "It's over and done with." Others in the system refused to talk about the issue. "You're really asking us to make a comment that might have us end up cutting our own throats," said one local attorney who must practice in front of the judges.

All the judges questioned said they either had wanted to come to Osceola or did not mind the assignment. Baker said he was not forced to come to Osceola and he had made it clear he would not mind the job. He added, however, that his most recent list of preferences listed Osceola County last. His recent run of negative publicity in Orange did not enter into his assignment to Osceola, Baker said. "It was not a conscious factor.

It didn't occur to me that I was getting away from anything." No circuit judge in recent memory has been a county resident. And so for years, judges living in Orange have commuted to Osceola. Baker recently moved to Osceola. Gov. Bob Martinez vetoed a bill in July that would have required one of the circuit's judges to live in Osceola.

That issue was lobbied heavily by supporters in Osceola and opponents in Orange. Byrd has just returned to Orange from Osceola. "I volunteered to serve in the Osceola division," Byrd said. Muszynski has served in Osceola since September. He said he has used his administrative skills to help reduce Osceola's caseload.
