The City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida met in Work Session on Monday, November 24, 1997,
at 3:30 o'clock P.M. in the City Manager's Conference Room, Sanford City Hall, 300 North Park Avenue, Sanford,
Florida.
Present: Mayor-Commissioner Larry A. Dale
Commissioner Whitey Eckstein
Commissioner Brady Lessard
Commissioner Kerry D. Lyons
Commissioner Velma H. Williams
City Manager William A. Simmons
City Clerk Janet R. Dougherty
Absent: City Attorney William L. Colbert
The Chairman called the meeting to order.
City Manager's evaluation and creation of the salary range for the position.
All Commissioners reported they had personally spoken with and evaluated the City Manager.
Commissioner Eckstein suggested the City Manager salary be set at mid range of $86,100+ per year. The Commission
agreed to a mid-point salary for City Manager Simmons and concurred to vote on the pay range and salary at tonight' s
Regular Meeting.
Code Update Methodology.
City Manager Simmons reported one of the goals and objectives adopted by the Commission this year was
to update the City Code which comprises the Ordinances which have been adopted over the years. Last year an analysis
was done of our Code of Ordinances and a lot of recommendations were made by the Municipal Code Corporation that
dealt with the technical aspects of our Code. This analysis did not include policy considerations. The City Manager
recommended that the Commission commit to reviewing every chapter of the City Code from a policy standpoint. He
proposed the Commission take a small section of the Code and work with it at each Work Session until it is completed,
which will take the better part of a year. The Commission concurred to begin with the first part of the Code at the next
Work Session.
Appeals to the City Commission.
Mayor Dale expressed concern about the Staff time it takes to process an appeal. City Manager Simmons
suggested maybe each District Commissioner could make the decision if an issue in their respective district should be
brought before the Commission for appeal. Commissioner Lessard reported the Commission should not curtail in any way
what can be appealed, and he would even go a step further and suggest that the appeal fee be retumed if the appeal is
approved. The City Manager reported that he tells everyone that they can write a letter to the Commission, and gives his
best opinion of what the outcome will be based on policies and procedures. He further reported he will encourage people
to avail themselves of the Citizens' Participation time at each Regular Commission Meeting. The Commission concurred
not to change the appeal policy at this time.
Charter Referendum to chanl~e the entity responsible for supervising the Fire and Police Departments to the Citv
ManaEer.
The City Manager reported each Commissioner received a copy of the Ordinance which contains the
language used previously with regards to Section IV of the Ordinance. This would be a good starting point if the

Commission wished to consider another Ordinance to set a referendum. City Clerk, Jan Dougherty enumerated the
process involved for a referendum.
1) The Commission would adopt an Ordinance setting the date of the Referendum and setting the exact
language of the question to be on the ballot.
2) The Referendum cannot be held any closer than 60 days to the date the Ordinance is adopted, or any farther
away than 90 days.
3) The Clerk's Office will handle all the legal ads, ordering supplies, etc.
4) The Commission needs to decide if they want to hold the Referendum at all four polling places, or at just
one. The cost would be roughly between $8,000 and $9,000 plus overtime for employees. One polling
place would be a little more economical.
The Commission discussed whether they would like to hold a Special Referendum Election, would like to
put it on the next County election, or would put it on the March, 1999 ballot for the City of Sanford. They concurred that
they have begun changes in the Police Department and want to see them through, and to place the Charter Referendum on
the March, 1999 ballot to allow time for changes, but they thought the Charter Amendment definitely needs to be made.
Mayor Dale requested a Special Work Session be held on Monday, December 1, 1997 at 4:00 p.m. to
discuss the Options recommended by the Law Enforcement Options Committee. The Commission concurred.
Proposed Land Development Fee Revisions.
City Manager Sinunons reported his approach would be to have the fee fully cover the cost the staff and
City incurs for the things we charge fees for. The drawbacks are it is very difficult to come up with what your average cost
is and it would ignore keeping us competitive with other organizations or entities. Consequently, the proposed fees are
more comparable with other entities and not so much to cover costs.
The Commission concurred the proper Ordinance be prepared to adopt the revised fee schedule.
Use of LETF funds.
Chief Dillard reported that the Police Department has been in compliance, following both State and Federal
Rule, in regard to funds from confiscated items. The Police Department has two accounts, one Federal and one State. The
State requirement is that 15% of the confiscated funds be put back into the community.
Commissioner Williams reported that although the funds are being legally utilized she has not seen any
programs in the community and that she asked for this discussion to see if the Commission would support a request for
some of those funds to actually be utilized in the community. The only thing she has seen these funds being used for are
Resource Officers. She and others feel that if the Police Department receives $100,000 in a year and $85,000 of it is used
to implement and provide police services, that at least $15,000 of it could be used in the community. Chief Dillard
reported that the ~mds were being used for Resource Officers and training. Commissioner Williams reported that
Resource Officers are not directly impacting the community. City Manager Simmons reported that when it was decided
that the City would pay for 50% of the Resource,Officers in the schools that money could have come from the General
Fund or from LETF dollars. It was decided to use the LETF dollars as long as they were available. Commissioner
Williams reported that the Resource Officers were an indirect impact on the community because they were in the schools,
and she thought some of the funds could be used for prevention programs for crime or drugs, abuse centers, etc. to be more

directly involved in the community. ChiefDillard reported he is working with Dr. Blake at Crooms School on some
recreation equipment and weight equipment to be placed on the school property for use by the entire community, and
requested Commissioner Williams work with him on this program at Crooms School. Commissioner Willjams reported
she talked with Chief Dillard on two occasions some time ago about providing some of the funds for use in the
community, and since then Chief Dillard and Dr. Blake have talked. Commissioner Williams further reported she will
consult with ChiefDillard and Dr. Blake, however the priorities she and a group of citizens have are reading, tutoring and
recreation programs. Mayor Dale suggested Commissioner Williams develop a program and present it to the Commission
for consideration.
Goldleaf Teehnoloeies
Tracy Grygiel with the Seminole County Office of Economic Development Commission of Mid Florida
reported that everything looks good for Goldleaf Technologies. The County is not participating in this effort. Charles
Rowe, Community Development Director reported that the annual gross receipts for Goldleaf is $4.9 million with $4.5
gross profit.
Commissioner Lyons reported he would like a more solid commitment that Goldleaf would remain in
Sanford after they move out of the building they initially will utilize. Mr. Rowe reported Seminole Community College is
working with Goldleaf to structure training for employees.
The Commission concurred to vote on a Resolution for Goldleaf Technologies at tonight' s Regular
Meeting.
Pay telephones on 13th Street.
Police ChiefDillard reported there are 22 pay telephones on 13th Street between Lake Avenue and the
Crooms School of Choice (about a 10 block area). He reported that if the owners of the phones sign forms asking for
incoming calls be blocked to those phones, the use of the phones will decrease dramatically. The Police Department is
trying to get forms signed by the owners in this area. Commissioner Williams reported she does not object to pay phones
on 13th Street, but when an excessive number were installed she and other people had many questions and were
concerned. The Commission felt some way should be found to regulate the number and use of these phones.
Commissioner Eckstein cautioned that if the phones are being used legitimately there is obviously a need for some phones
in that area. The City Manager reported before we try to regulate these phones the Chief should check to see what kind of
regulations are in place at this time and if others have had Constitutional problems in trying to regulate pay phones. He
should possibly study what other communities are doing and come back to the Commission with more details. The City
could try to get the phones off of any public property, and the rest placed inside of buildings. The Commission concurred.
Street Lights on 13th Street.
Jerry Herman reported there are 25 street lights between French Avenue and just past Persimmon Avenue.
These lights are all 150 watt maximum, and could be increased to 400 watts. The 150 watt is costing the City about
$1,980 a year, 200 watts would cost approximately $2,880 and 400 watts would cost $3,486. FPL would allow one
upgrade at no cost for new heads. To upgrade southwest of 13th Street would cost about another $200.00. The
Commission concurred to upgrade the 25 lights on 13th Street to 400 watts. Commissioner Williams requested to include
in the upgrade the street lights on Southwest Road between 13th Street and 16th Street, and the Commission concurred.

Emergency Water Service at 2827 Magnolia Avenue. ,
City Manager Simmons reported his recommendation is to provide emergency water service with the
provision that the property owner donate a right-of-way to part of the property that is generally being used as a right-of-
way at this time. This will be brought up again in tonight's Regular Meeting.
Curb Cuts at 251h Street and French Avenue.
City Manager Simmons requested authorization to determine how to close up the curb cuts at Auto Mart at
251h Street and French Avenue. The Commission concurred that the City Manager determine how best to do this. "
Tent permit for CarEo facility at Sanford Airport.
City Manager Simmons reported he will bring up at tonight' s Regular Meeting a request to extend the tent
permit for the cargo facility at the Airport until May 31 st, or until the new facility is completed. The completion was held
up because of the Cease and Desist Order by the DCA, which has now been resolved. City Commission previously
approved the permit for the maximum of thirty days.
Recording Equipment for Commission Chambers.
City Manager Simmons reported he and the City Clerk are looking into the possibility of either changing
the recording equipment in the Commission Chambers, or purchasing equipment to copy tapes. To copy tapes from the
Commission Chambers at this time requires a trip to Orlando. He will have more details at a later date.
Request for waiver of installation of sprinkler systems.
City Manager Simmons reported the Fire Chief and Fire Marshall have recommended a wavier of
installation of sprinkler systems in a facility on Commerce Way. There will be nothing flammable in the facility. This
will be discussed tonight in the Regular Meeting.
Emergency replacement of septic tank and drain fields at Fire Station #2.
City Manager Simmons reported the City has been cited by the Department of Labor and needs to replace.
the septic tank and drain field at Fire Station #2 as an emergency replacement. It has been determined that a septic tank
with an elevated drain field would be more economical than a grinder pump. Telephone proposals were done and there is
some question as to the lowest bidder at this point.
Christmas Holidavs.
The City Manager reported that according to the Personnel Rules the City employees are given Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day off. Since Christmas falls on Thursday this year, he proposes to have Christmas Day and the day
after (Friday) off. This will be discussed at the meeting of December 8, 1997.
St. John's River nomination as a Heritaffe River.
Mayor Dale reported the Mayor of Jacksonville has nominated the St. John's River as a Heritage River, and
he would like Sanford to nominate it as a non-Heritage River. This has been discussed by the Commission before and it
was decided at that time the a Heritage River nomination could hamper any efforts Sanford would make to develop,
improve or enhance the waterfront. The Commission concurred that Mayor Dale send a letter requesting it be a non-
Heritage River.
