The City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida met in Work Session on Monday, January 12, 1997,
at 3:30 o'clock P.M. in the City Manager's Conference Room, Sanford City Hall, 300 North Park Avenue, Sanford,
Florida.

Absent: City Attorney William L. Colbert
The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Time Warner Communications franchise fees.
City Manager Simmons reported regarding franchise fees the City has two alternatives, one is to leave the
fees the way the are, the other is to add on a small fee.
Donna Watt, Finance Director, reported that a Court decision, which is not binding in Florida, states that the
franchise fee should be rated on the total bill which would include the franchise fee, interpreted to say a franchise fee
would be paid on the franchise fee if they are required to remit in that same fashion to us. Seminole County and the
surrounding cities have agreed that this is not something that should be changed at this point. She further reported that the
City's franchise agreement with the cable company will be up for renewal in July. There is a House Bill that declares that
cities cannot charge franchise fees for utilities in its right-of-ways, but could possibly charge maintenance of the right-of-
ways to those carriers. There was no action taken on the Bill, and the Florida League of Cities was there to voice
opposition to the Bill. The Bill will go back to the Committee in revised form on February 3.
City Manager Simmons reported the City has received and will respond to a questionnaire from Florida
League of Cities regarding franchise fee information. He will inform Time Warnet Communications there will be no
change at this time in the franchise fees paid to the City.
Lease of proper~_ to SprintCom, Inc. for wireless telecommunications equipment.
City Manager Simmons reported he has met with Donna Kling, a representative from SprintCom, and they
have discussed different proposals. The latest proposal is to revise the terms of the lease to $800.00 per month from
$600.00, to go to a five year lease with one five year extension instead of four additional five year extensions, and to go to
an escalator of 4% per year annually rather than 20% every five years. There are still some details to work out with regard
to insurance, etc. but City Manager Simmons recommends approval to execute the lease subject to the attorneys final
review of the detailed language, particularly as it relates to the insurance. The Commission concurred.
Lighting restrictions.'
City Manager Simmons reported he recommends preparation of an Ordinance changing the LDR to regulate
residential lighting and its intrusion on adjacent properties. The Commission concurred. No further action is needed by
the Commission at this time.
City-Paid term life insurance.
City Manager Simmons reported the Commissioners have received a report outlining the current
entitlement ranges of Term Life Insurance from $5,000 face value to 1 times annual salary, paid by the City, depending
E718672
MINUTES
City Commission, Sanford, Florida

upon the elassification of the employee in question. The Staff recommendation is to move toward consistency which
would have the exempt employees receive the 1 times annual salary, with the condition that anyone who is not an exempt
employee, who is presently receiving the 1 times their annual salary will keep it until they either retire, move on or move
into an exempt position. Tim McCauley, Director of Human Resources, reported there are about 30 people who are not
exempt who are receiving the 1 times their annual salary.
Commissioner Eckstein felt it was not fair for the general employee to only receive $5,000 when the
exempt employees are receiving much more. Commissioner Witliams agreed. The Commission requested that Mr.
McCauley prepare an estimate of the cost to provide the insurance to every employee at 1 times their annual salary and
bring it back to the Commission at the next Work Session.
Economic Development Assistance Application from Crankshaft Rebuilders Inc.
Charles Rowe, Community Development Director, introduced Larry Eriksson, owner of Crankshaft
Rebuilders Inc. and Dan Hunt, Mr. Eriksson's assistant. Mr. Rowe reported Crankshaft Rebuilders Inc. have been doing
business in Sanford for quite some time, and they propose to build an 8,000 sq. ft. unit adjacent to their existing structure,
and will hire 12 to 13 more people. They have applied for Economic Development Assistance for this addition.
After discussion the Commission concurred that the City's policy should be to consider granting Economic
Assistance to corporations looking to move into Sanford, not the existing businesses in Sanford that wish to expand. Also,
applicants should meet the criteria of the County. The consensus was not to give the incentive to Crankshaft Rebuilders
Inc.
Municipal Taxin~ District for Meadow Street pavin5
City Manager Simmons pointed out on a map where Meadow Street is located, just off of Lake Mary
Boulevard, running east and west. The east end is privately owned and the west end is owned by Seminole County. There
is a 25' strip between the two ends which is privately owned. The City has received a request from representative property
owners to establish a special taxing district to fund the paving of Meadow Street and for the improvement of drainage,
either using piped drainage or open "swale-type" drainage, which can amount to between $12,000 and $24,000. The City
has only received authorization to pave and put drainage in for the west half of Meadow Street. The property owner of the
25' in the middle has never responded to any of the City's requests. The City could proceed with plans and resolutions to
pave the west end only. The estimated cost, including piped drainage, would be approximately' $38,000 which would be
funded by the property owners, either in a lump sum or over a period of time. The City would fund it originally and the
property owners would pay the City back. City Manager Simmons' recommendation is to also pave Art Lane, from the
City Landfill to just past Meadow Street~ at the same time. If the City can contact the owner of the 25' piece and get them
to agree to convey that property to the City or the County, then the City could proceed with the complete job which could
run as high as $76,000 for the whole length of Meadow Street. The east end is private property owned by Mr. Willjams,
who is willing to donate that right-of-way and to participate on a front footage basis on paying his share of the
improvements.
It was agreed that City Manager Simmons would provide a cost estimate for paving Art Lane and contact
property owners along Art Lane to see if they would be willing to have that street paved, and bring the information back to
the Commission in two weeks.

Intergovernmental P!anninl~ Coordination Agreement of 1997.
Jay Marder reported the City needs to put together, by August, an "Issues Report" that would analyze the
different issues it has relating to Seminole County. Sanford is the only city that Seminole County has a Joint Planning
Agreement with, and that needs updated. Mr. Marder recommends approval of the Agreement as presented to the
Commission. City Manager Simmons agreed to put the agreement on the agenda for approval on January 26, 1998, and
will contact the County of the intent of the Commission to approve the Agreement.
Government/Public Education Cable Television proUramming.
City Manager Simmons reported the Commissioners have received a list of possible City uses of television
air time suggested by Staff, without giving consideration to the cost of air time or the cost of preparing the copy. He
reported the Commission needs to make a decision whether they want to make a commitment now or wait till it is more
well established.
Commissioner Lessard reported Larry Furlong of the Seminole County School Board feels that Seminole
County will have its own TV station in the very near future. Seminole Community College is building a facility on its
campus and is willing to take a big part in staffing and programming. If the City does not commit at this time it may get
stuck with a time slot that is not as desirable when it joins later. After discussion concerning what costs might be incurred
and whether the Commission Meetings should be televised, the Commission concurred to be included right now and can
pull out later if it is too costly or if there are other concerns. This will be brought up for a vote at tonight's Regular
Meeting.
City Hall audio recordin$ equipment.
City Clerk Jan Dougherty reported on two options for procurement of a new City Hall recording system and
the appropriate duplication equipment. Option A would be to keep the present recorders and continue to use them as in
the past, purchase duplicating equipment to copy the two types of tapes and an additional transcriber at a cost of
$2,894.00. Option B would be to purchase additional recording equipment to make all recorders/tapes compatible, the
reformalter-copier to duplicate this type of tape, and an additional transcriber at a cost of $4,995.00. The Option B cost
does not include microphones and wiring/installation.
After discussion the Commission concurred to have Ms. Dougherty proceed with Option B and use her
discretion as to microphones for the Commission to test-use.
Request to rename park in honor of James Dunn.
City Manager Simmons reported the City received a request from Sarah Dunn Miller to rename the Bay
Avenue Park in honor of her father, James Dunn. Further, the City has not previously named a City facility in honor of an
employee, only elected officials. After discussion and review of Ms. Miller's request the Commission concurred to
rename the park.
[The Mayor recessed the meeting for about 17 minutes, then reconvened it.]
RFP for Solid Waste privatization.
City Manager Simmons reported the proposed RFP for Solid Waste privatization has been revised. Before
this RFP will be ready to advertise the City will need to have an appraisal of the equipment and decide on the order to
. proceed in terms of an employee meeting. Advertising does not guarantee award to an outside firm since the City's Solid
E718672

Waste Division will be submitting a bid. Mayor Dale requested that the cost of the appraisal be added to the equipment in
the RFP, and the Commission concurred.
After discussion the Commission concurred to send the draft RFP to interested parties and then meet with
the Solid Waste Department employees to get their input and answer their concerns. City Manager Simmons reported
there are seven steps to this process: 1) get an appraisal, 2) meet with employees, 3) meet with vendors, 4) re-evaluate the
RFP and approve advertising of the RFP, 5) opening proposals and analyzing, 6) meet with the employees again, and
7) award the contract.
A Special Work Session was set with the employees for February 2, 1998 at 4:00 p.m. in the Commission
Chambers.
Board appointments/reappointments.
City Clerk Jan Dougherty reported that Ricky Scott' s term on the Citizens Advisory Board expires on
February 10, 1998, and he wishes to be reappointed. Mayor Dale reported that the Sanford Community Redevelopment
Agency will be meeting tomorrow and will probably make a recommendation for appointment to the Board to replace
Linda Johnson, whose term expired December 11, 1997. It was reported that Amelia Royster's term on the Scenic
Improvement Board expires January 31, 1998. Also, Ms. Cannavino, who was recently reappointed to the Scenic
Improvement Board, has resigned. The Scenic Improvement Board will meet next week and will be asked for a
recommendation for appointment to fill Ms. Cannavino's term. City Manager Simmons reported the City has received an
Application for Appointment to a City Boa~from J. Manuel Aceredo, and he listed the Scenic Improvement Board, as
well as the Citizens Advisory Board. It was reported Mr. Aceredo is a lawyer who at the present time lives in Longwood,
but plans to move to Sanford in the near future because his office is in Sanford.
Regular Agenda items and other items.
Commissioner Williams reported she would like the Commission to consider applying for a grant for the
C.O.P.S. Program. This is a three year matching funds program. The City would have to provide 25% of the salary for
each officer for the first year, and for each year after that the City's match amount would increase. The deadline for
applying is January 30, 1998. Chief Dillard reported that Sergeant Presley has already started filling out the application.
After discussion the Commission concurred to have the application filled out and have it ready to mail, then bring it back
to the Commission on January 26, 1998 for approval.
City Manager's report.
A. City Manager Simmons reported he has received a letter from the Kiwanis Club with a check to pay
for a basic police bike. The Police Department will outfit the bike and the Kiwanis would like to present it at a
Commission Meeting when it is ready.
B. City Manager Simmons reported each Commissioner has received an analysis of the Fire
Department overtime per a request at the last Commission Meeting. Chief Tom Hickson reported the reasons for the
extensive overtime were they maintain a minimum manning level on their engines of three. This means only two people
can be off at one time. If there is someone off sick, or on personal time, etc. it goes into automatic overt/me. He reported
he has four employees up for retirement, two of them officers. He cannot hire new firefighters until those vacancies are
filled by promotions after those positions are vacant. This is according to the City's Rules and Regulations. Again, this
6q
E718672
MINUTES
City Commission, Sanford, Florida
P.M. MEETING January
12 1998
places the Department into an automatic overtime situation. The minimum manning level, with the services that the Fire
Department provides, is 1.85 firefighters per 1000 population. That would be 65 firefighters, and Sanford Fire Department
has 48. He reported other agencies have this problem also, but the amount of disparity is less in other agencies. The
reason he went to a three man engine from a two man engine was because of the liability risk.
The funding in this year' s budget for Fire Department personnel was put aside, so there are still some
possibilities of increasing manpower. City Manager Simmons reported that the overtime in the Fire Department is costing
the City dollars, however there are budgeted direct labor dollars for those vacancies which are not being spent and which
become a significant possible offset. If the City budgeted for high end people who are retiring, and hires replacements
who are low end people, it actually would see costs go down. Another thing is overtime is paid at time and a half plus
FICA and Medicare costs, but all the other fringe benefits (about 30%) stop and do not add on to the cost of the overtime
person. There are several alternatives to look at.
C. Charles Rowe, Community Development Director reported the Commission had previously
approved an Economic Development Incentive for Florida Extruders in an amount not to exceed $77,000.00. He further
reported the City provided an incentive in the form of a loan and waiver of fees to Florida Extruders. A 200,000 sq. ft.
building has been constructed and Florida Extruders has received a total of $18, 151.56 in waivers of fees. They now find
that they will not be taking advantage of the loan portion of the City' s Economic Development Program. Florida Extruders
has requested release of some or all of their $50,000 letter of credit, as required by their original agreement with the City.
The City will collect as much as $34,379 in ad valorem tax on this building each year. After discussion, the Commission
had no objection to releasing all except $15,000 of the letter of credit, and releasing the $15,000 when the City receives
enough money to cover the waived fees.
D. City Manager Simmons reported that the City has received a letter from a representative of the title
company for Mr. Sansone, asking for more time for title research. The Commission had originally given them until
January 1, 1998 before taking Code Enforcement action. The Commission concurred to give them another two to four
weeks for title research.
E. City Manager Simmons reported a Volunteer Recognition Dinner has been planned and the
Commission needs to decide on the details. This will be a dinner to recognize the volunteer board members who served
during the last fiscal year. After discussion it was decided the dinner will be held on February 26, 1998 at the Civic
Center. The dinner will be catered by Candlelight Catering as a Buffet style with a plate to be prepared by the servers. at
the buffet line. The cost will be $15.00 per person with an additional cost of $7.00 per tablecloth and $.25 per napkin.
The menu was also decided on. The cost of flowers, a band, invitations, etc. was also reported by City Manager Simmons.
Corporate sponsors will be covering the cost of this dinner.
F. City Manager Simmons reported he will be asking the Commission tonight at the Regular Meeting
to vote to authorize the City to donate to the School Board din that will be removed from the retention pond by Goldsboro
School.
G.
City Manager Simmons reported he will be asking the Commission to amend the minutes of the
December 8, 1997 Commission Meeting. It was stated in the meeting, and reflected in the minutes, that Main Street

Mayor Dale reported the Commission would hear from those persons present to speak for, or in opposition

vacate the 66' by 255' fight-of-way that is behind 1700 West First Street. The fight-of-way has already been abandoned on
both sides of this block. Further, he has requested a survey showing existing utilities as requested by the City, but his
surveyor has not completed it. He therefore requested that the Commission proceed to vacate the street fight-of-way and
retain the entire vacated fight-of-way as a utility easement.

Sailfest in Sanford.
Bob Roth, 8392 Rambling River Drive, Sanford 32771, Executive Director of Sailfest, reported he had
requested information on the progress of the Midge testing and has been informed that the problem is being addressed.
Mayor Dale explained in more detail what steps the City is taking to alleviate the problem. Also, Mr. Roth reported
another concem of the Sailfest Committee was that the grade or ratio of steepness of the beach is too high for launching.
Possibilities to correct this situation are floating docks with ramps or dumping sand or dirt prior to the event, but that
possibility was discounted because the dirt washes into the channel. They have one engineer that has a proposal to solve
all the problems which would cost about $80,000.00. The engineer's proposal included creating a concrete stanchion
under the water so the wave action would not eat away at it and cause it to drop down and crack. The engineer had done
this in several areas to reclaim hurricane lost land. Mr. Roth asked if the Commission had any other possible solutions, or
could give him a budget amount available that he could pursue other solutions. He reported that the funding for this event
60

comes from a line of credit dram on some of the Board members personally, a portion is funded by the County, some
from AT&T and marine companies related to the event, and registration fees of about $38,000.00.
Mayor Dale reported that midges will never be a problem if the Sailfest is always held in December. He
asked Mr. Roth if he had spoken with Jack Wert about any TDC funds that might be available. Mr. Roth reported he had
spoken with Daryl McLain who indicated it was a dead end. Jack Wert was trying to put together a Save the Sailfest
Committee from some of the hoteliers. Mr. Wert had indicated at the Save the Sailfest Committee meeting that TDC
funds could not be used, based on their guidelines, to do physical repairs.
The Commission concurred that Commissioner Lyons will work with Mr. Roth, the County and City
Manager Simmons to come up with some concrete dollar amounts the City could budget, the actual grade required and
other issues to bring this event back to Sanford.

Request from Jerry W. And Lilia B. Lord for reimbursement of annexation fee.
City Manager Simmons reported the Lord' s had paid their money and submitted their petition and request
for annexation, and then Staff recommended they donate a portion of the property currently being used as a road, as a
right-of-way. Also the Lords were advised that City Code requires that if sanitary sewer is available they also get sanitary
sewer service, even though they have a septic system that works fine. Because of these recommendations and conditions,
and because the City has not advertised for the Public Hearing, they want to withdraw their application and have the
money refunded.
On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner Willjams moved to refund the $150.00 annexation
fee to Jerry W. and Lilia B. Lord. Seconded by Commissioner Eckstein and carried by vote of he Commission as follows:

Consent Agenda.
City Manager Simmons reported he has received additional Staff input on the Right-Of-Way Agreement
with Johnnie and Joella B. Singleton which includes concern because the width of a driveway is supposed to be limited to
not more than 36', and not to exceed 30' in some cases. Residential driveways are supposed to be limited to 18'. The
