Report, and waives any claim against Florida Public Utilities for off-site contamination,
they will not name the City as a defendant in said lawsuit. Assistant City Attorney
recommended that the City Commission decline said offer.
City Manager gave a brief history of the Sanford Gasification Plant. He reported
that for over 60 years (before 1900 until 1952), gas for lighting and heating within the City
was produced in the City of Sanford through a process known as coal gasification. Further,
the by-products of this process was the generation of coal tar as well as some other
environmentally sensitive products. Further, the City of Sanford is one of six
owner/operators, who owned (8 years) and operated (4 years) said plant, and that all
owner/operators share a certain liability for this problem. Also, Florida Public Utilities
who is the current owner of said property, never operated the plant as a gasification
facility. Also, the City of Sanford owns some right-of-way, offsite, where-some of the coal
tar appears to have migrated (a street crossing and Cloud Branch). City Manager recommended
that the City COmmission authorize Staff to obtain a proposal from an environmental
consultant to determine the extent of off-site contamination in Mill Creek and Cloud Branch
stream beds.
Commissioner McClanahan moved to decline the above-mentioned offer from Florida
Public Utilities to not name the City of Sanford as a defendant if the City will agree to pay
1/5 of the on-site Contamination Assessment Report, and waive any claim against Florida
Public Utilities for off-site contamination, and authorized Staff to obtain a proposal from
an environmental consultant to study Cloud Branch and Mill Creek stream beds for contaminants

to reduce costs. Said motion died for lack of a second.

Hay Operation on that portion of Site 10 previously planned for Citrus Operation. Seconded
by Commissioner Howell.
City Manager reported that there are some contracts awarded which have some
features in them that are not necessary if the Commission does not wish to utilize reclaimed
water for freeze protection, and that it remains to be seen whether the City can retract from
said contracts. Further, if the Commission does not pursue citrus at all, Staff needs
direction relative to change ordering of Contract #3.
City Manager reported that should the City Commission choose hay rather than
citrus, the City would not need: 1) The large pumping facilities for freeze protection, 2)
Existing large diameter pipes would not be required for irrigation of hay crop, 3) Back-up
generators associated with the pumping station, and 4) The 34 million gallon storage capacity
on "Site 10" (would not recommend dropping - could provide better storage or use as surge
capacity). Further, Change Orders to Contracts would need to be negotiated.
