l'he City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida, met in Regular Meeting on
Monday, June 12, 1995, at 7:00 o'clock P.M. in the City Commission Room, City Hall, Sanford,
Florida.
Present: Mayor-Commissioner Bettye D. Smith
commissioner Whitey Eckstein
Commissioner Robert B. Thomas, Jr.
Commissioner Lon K. Howell
Commissioner Kerry D. Lyons
Assistant City Attorney Donna L. McIntosh
City Manager William A. Simmons
City Clerk Janet R. Dougherty
Absent: City Attorney William L. Colbert
The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Request from William Gorman, Sr., Seminole SardenApartments, to address the City Co~mission
regarding the escalating problem of drugs and violence in the area of Olive Avenue and Pecan
Avenue between Third Street and Fifth Street.
William Gorman, 8018 Radner Court, Kissimmee, appeared and reported that he
represents the ownership and Staff of Seminole Garden Apartments, who are present tonight as
well as Sanford Housing Authority Staff, its Commission, and representation of approximately
1440 Seminole Garden Apartments residents. Also, they have provided housing for the low
income, the elderly, and the handicapped for over 25 years. Further, he and the those he
represents are concerned about the continuing escalation of criminal activity, the physical
safety of Staff; the ability of tenants to sleep safely at night, and 17 million dollars
worth of assets. Further, at the April 6, 1995, meeting with representatives of the Sanford
Housing Authority and Seminole Garden Apartments ownership, Commissioner Thomas, who was
understanding of the life threatening situation but could not provide any answers,
recommended that they petition for help from the City Manager and the Police Chief. At a
subsequent meeting with Police Chief Russell, Deputy Police Chief Dillard, the City Manager,
and Commissioner Thomas, they were informed of the countless reasons why nothing can be done
e.g. not enough manpower or money, and the lack of community involvement, and that the police
are looking into implementing a quad unit, restructuring the City's patrol zones, and a
budget reconfiguration. Mr. Gorman stated that neither the City nor the Police Department
has a comprehensive plan to protect its citizens, and requested the City's assistance in
collectively resolving these life threatening issues.
Police Chief Joe Dillard reported that at the meeting with Mr. Gorman, the Sanford
Housing Authority, Police Chief Ralph Russell and Commissioner Thomas, it was explained that
there are certain things the police can and cannot do, that they would do their best to
increase patrol in those problem areas and solicit assistance from the tenants, that they
have worked with the Seminole County Sheriff's Office through CCIB and our special
investigative unit, executed search warrants, and are constantly trying to look for better
ways to serve the residents in that area. Also, the police cannot devote personnel to a
substation at this time because manpower is limited, and re-allocation of personnel would
take away from other problem areas. Further, once the quad unit is implemented the police
plan to target those areas of high drug activity.
Phyllis Richardson, Executive Director, Sanford Housing Authority, appeared and
reported that a substation would not be an expense to anyone except the Sanford Housing
Authority because the facility already exists, and police officers are there anyway.
Further, the Housing Authority has taken an active role in drug related evictions.
