M._lg. 70 DO~ROW OFFICE SUPPLY ~OMPANy The City Gommission of the City of Sanford, Florida, met in regalar session at the City Hall in the City of Sanford, Florida, at 8:00 o'clock P. M. on December 28, 1970. Present: Mayor-Commissioner Lee P. Moore Commissioner James H. Crapps Commissioner Thomas S. McDonald Commissioner Gordon T. Meyer City Attorney W. C. Hutchison, Jr. City Manager W. E. Knowles City Clerk H. N. Tamm, Jr. Police Chief Ben E. Butler Absent: Commissioner W. Vincent Roberts The meeting was called to order by the Chairman. The Chairman opened the meeting and acknowledged the attendance of persons regarding the action taken by the Commission to phase out the operation.of the Municipal Zoo on or before October l, 1971. Mayor Moore presented in detail the reasons for the above action and its effect on the required services of the City. He reviewed the discussed needed zoo improvements through relocation, and further, that the Zoo Committee had met with the City CommisSion on December l~ 1970, and said committee was attempting the formation of a non-profit, private Zoological Society to undertake relocation and operation of the zoo or having a referendum on a zoo relocation at'a cost in an amount of $125,000.00 to $200,000.00 funded by an estimated l~ or 2 mill increase. The Chairman announced that the Commission would hear from the Zoo Committee, sp~kes. men for groups or organizations, or individuals, on the matter of the zoo. Ruth Swinney, President of SISTERS organization, stated her close work with the Zoo Committee and felt that the Committee should be given the privilege of completing and sub- mitting their recommendations to the City Commission regarding zoo relocation, operating cost and funding. Representative of Campbell-LossingVFW Post No. 53 Lad~es Auxiliary requested that the City retain a zoo. Carmen Gager, 1209 West 19th Court, spoke in behalf of Taxpayers Association of Sanford, requesting the Commission reconsider action to close the zoo, and presented petitions with 1,826 signatures for the '"Saving of the Zoo" and relocation. Larry Bunnell, 125 East Jenkins Circle, spoke in favor of keeping the zoo, and re- quested that the Zoo Committee be given the opportunity to present their report of recommenda- tions, and a time extension on the closing of the zoo to coincide with the Zoo Committee's report for the relocation. Paul Leatherman, 615 Osceola Drive, and Alfred DeLattibeaudiere, 807~ Sanford Avenue favored the action of olosing the zoo, stating they could not afford additional taxation if it were not an essential service. Arthur Harris, Chairman of the Zoning and Planning Commission, recommended considera tion be given to renovating the existing zoo site through civic organization and private dona- tions in addition to utilizing the present City appropriation of $30,000.00 in the Zoo Fund. Wayne Trout, representative of Radio Station WTRR, sponsors of a local telephone poll on t'Do You Want The Zoo", submitted results showing the percentage as being in favor of retaining the zoo. A. B. Peterson, Jr., submitted recommendations from the Zoo Committee, as follows: 1. Forming a Zoological Society for which we have already contacted an Attorney who is working on that. 346 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida December 28 at 8:00 P. M. 19 70 DO'I'H~OW OFFICE SUPPLY COMPANY 2. Lease to the Zoological Society the present zoo and its site on Park and Seminole Boulevard for a period of up to two (2) years at $1.00 per annum beginning October l, 1971, to allow finalizing plans for relocation; all present animals are to remain at the zoo, and no animals shall be disposed of without prior approval of the Zoological Society. 3. Lease the new 14 acre zoo site to the Zoological Society, once it is set up, for a 99-year period, payable at $1.00 per year in advance. 4.Transfer the present 30,000 odd dollar zoo fund to the non-profit Zoological Society, once it is formed. 5. Once the Zoological Society has the relocati~E2 cost figure and the annual maintenance figure, at that time the Zoological Society will come back to the City Commission and request a ~eferendum for the support of the zoo with a millage determined on those figures. We, at this point, do not have any idea as to the a~uual operating cost, nor the re-locating cost, but we can see no reason for a 4 mill levy at this point. After lengthy discUssion, Commissioner Meyer moved to authorize the City Attorney to obtain an opinion from the Attorney General of the State of Florida regarding the legality of the possible donation of City Funds in the amount of $30,000.00 to a non-profit, private Zoological Society corporation for relocation and operation of the zoo. Seconded by Commis- sioner Crapps and carried. After further discussion, Commissioner Meyer moved that the City Commission rescind action ~aken at theemeeting of December 14, 1970, to phase out the existing zoo operation on or before October l, 1971. Motion died for lack of a second. Commissioner McDonald stated for the record he opposed the spending $11,500.00 for zoo relocation layout plans at this time. Commissioner Meyer moved to delay action on the Zoo until February 8, 1971, and direct the Zoo Committee to present a report on the approximate zoo relocation cost at the regular City Commission meeting on that date. Seconded by Commissioner McDonald and carried. Application next submitted by Aaron Wilson, D/b/a Wilson Beer Garden, for 'an occu- patiOnal license for the sale of beer ~ud wine for consumption on the premises at 1509 West 13th Street; and on recommendation of the Police Chief, and on motion of Commissioner McDonal( seconded by Commissioner Crapps and carried, same was approved.
