As the Chief Administrative Officer of the City, it is my responsibility to implement and administer all ordinances and policies adopted by the City Commission. I am also charged with preparation and administration of the City's annual budget. None of these things are possible without a staff of professionals dedicated to those they serve. In Lake Mary, we have seven departments, each headed by a director, who reports directly to me and is selected on the basis of his/her qualifications and experience. They are: Jackie Sova - Assistant City Manager/Finance Director, Carol Foster - City Clerk, Steve Bracknell- Police Chief, Craig Haun - Fire Chief, Bruce Paster - Public Works Director, John Omana - Community Development Director & Bill Carrico - Parks & Recreation Director. All are extremely competent in what they do which is reflected in the day-to-day service delivery that we provide. Together, we have more than 200 years of local government services.
 
 

Clock TowerOur newest project is the construction of our 19,000 square foot Events Center which is located on beautiful West Crystal Lake on the same site as the previous community building. Although that facility (formerly the CIA Building) served the community well for more than 25 years, it was no longer large enough, nor does it have the amenities needed to meet the requests of those wanting to use the facility. Renovation was not an option as it would have been cost prohibitive to meet current building codes.

The new facility features abundant landscaping making the setting perfect for almost any outdoor function. The main banquet room will seat up to 250 guests with doors leading out to a large deck overlooking the water. This state-of-the-art building cost about 5.2 million dollars and already has events booked as far as eighteen months out.

We have also completed other projects in the past five years to include the 38,000 square foot Municipal Services Complex located on Wallace Court which serves as headquarters to not only our main fire station but to all development activities including Planning, Zoning, Building, Life Safety, and Public Works Administration. It is also the home of the Lake Mary Senior Center which has daily activities including arts, crafts, exercise, bingo, and the list goes on. If you’re interested in learning more, call 407-585-1466.

With the completion of the Events Center, our capital building plan is finished which should take us well past the year 2025 barring any unforeseen emergencies. Over the past 15 years, Lake Mary has transitioned from a sleepy community to an economic engine for Seminole County making it the destination of choice for many corporate relocations not only because of its reputation but as a place to live, work and play.

If you have questions, please feel free to call (407) 585-1419 or e-mail us at www.lakemaryfl.com . We also invite you to attend our City Commission meetings the first and third Thursdays of every month beginning at 7:00 p.m. Most Lake Mary residents who have Brighthouse cable can watch live broadcast on SGTV (Channel 199).
