ltoteFconference center feasibility study.
Don Hunter, Hunter Interests, he. reported he was retained in November 1999 to conduct a preliminary market
and financial feasibility analysis of a 300-room full-service hotel and conference center on the downtown Sanford waterfront.
Mr. Hunter said he analyzed market potentials for the hotel/conference center and reviewed Sanford area
demographics in order to understand prospects for continued revitalization of downtown Sanford. Due to the project's location
on the downtown waterfront and the need for continued downtown revitalization, the hotel/conference center project can
contribute significantly to market support for further downtown improvements. Conversely, the lack of further revitalization
in the downtown area diminishes prospects for the success of the hotel/conference center development.
Mr. Hunter said the most important market characteristic in support of the hotel/conference center project is the
rapid unprecedented expansion of technology industries in the 1-4 corridor north of Orlando, which by all indications will
continue during the next five to ten years. Interviews with corporate executives and meeting planners in the facilities and
corporate development sites yielded the conclusion that many north Orlando employers take their meetings to facilities elsewhere
in the metropolitan area and out of the area due to the lack of available and adequate conference/lodging facilities. Several
companies that use fadlities in the area indicated dissatisfaction with both facilities and service levels provided by north O~ando
conference hotels. While seeming to be a locational disadvantage, the downtown Sanford location may present an opportunity
to provide more of a retreat atmosphere with a waterfront environment in an historic and revitalizing downtown area that sets
itself apart from the more commercially oriented hotels at interstate highway interchanges.
An analysis of existing conference facilities shows only a few conference hotels with the capability of handling
even small and medium sized meetings. The Hilton and Embassy Suites hotels are in the best position to serve this market, yet
a relatively small percentage of their room night generation comes from conference business.
North Orlando hotels have prospered during the second half of the 1990's, with significant rapid increases in both
occupancy and average daily rates. Several new hotels entered this lucrative market during the past two years but were mostly
limited service chain hotels with value-oriented offerings. Virtually all of these new hotels lack conference facilities and are not
considered to be competitive with the project envisioned for downtown Sanford. Additionally, North Orlando hotels with
conference facilities have not yet marketed aggressively for conference business because they have focused on the more lucrative
commercial and tourism market segments. The large and potentially lucrative state association market has been almost

completely ignored. This analysis identified several conference market segments that could be pursued by a quality hotel with
a full-service conference center that is larger and better equipped than anything now existing in the north O~ando market.
Mr. Hunter said a financial feasibility analysis was also conducted for a smaller 200-room boutique hotel. Some
combination of the 300-room full-service hotel and a smaller 200-room boutique hotel and the conference center can be
successfully pursued. While both hotel products proved financially feasible, the amount of public assistance is greater for the
300-room hotel product. The analysis also includes initial estimates of the public finance requirements for the project. Financial
analysis sensitivity runs for the 300-room hotel tested various ground rent assumptions. In summary, the 200-room boutique
hotel proves more financially feasible than the 300-room full-service hotel and has prospects for yielding higher levels of ground
rent revenue to the City.
A conference center/hotel can be demonstrated to be market feasible and financially feasible on the City's
downtown waterfront site. Public financial support for conference center construction, site improvements, and certain waterfront
amenities will be necessary. In return, the City will achieve economic development benefits associated with employment in the
facility, taxes paid, and commerce generated which assists downtown Sanford revitalization.
Mr. Hunter recommended the feasibility analysis be reviewed by the City and the County, in conjunction with
the previously prepared economic impact analysis and the previous City actions which have brought this project to this point.
There should be a series of discussions with potential developers and hotel operators to secure initial reactions to the analysis,
after which adjustments and refinements in the analysis can be made and the interest of prospective investors, developers, and
hotel operators can be determined. He also recommended the City weigh the importance of the larger hotel against the risk
situation and improved prospects for ground rent revenues. A phasing approach could also be considered. Preliminary
investigations into public funding prospects from City sources and other levels of government have initially been explored and
it is appropriate to conduct a more detailed analysis of the prospect for public funds in the $10 to $15 million range which this
project may require. With several of these steps underway and completed, the City should make a decision on how and when
to proceed with this project. If a decision is made to proceed immediately, a solicitation process for interested
investment/developers and hotel operators could be quickly structured to be launched during the spring marketing season this
year.
City Manager VanDerworp said thefeasibility study will be reviewed by the County, RERC, and TDC, and he
will report results to the Commission. [Commissioner Williams le~ the meeting.]

This item was not discussed; action will be taken at tonight's Meeting.
City Hall remodelin8 recommendations.
City Manager VanDerworp reported that during budget discussion, the Commission directed Staff to investigate
ways to improve the use of the first floor and revise the second floor to better meet the needs of the citizens and Staff. A Staff
Committee was formed consisting of Mike Kirby, Donna Watt, Charles Rowe, Paul Moore, and Jerry Herman. The Committee
recommended a five-point plan which includes ( 1 ) replacing the existing roof with an architectural pitch roof, (2) replace carpet
in the Commission Chambers, (3) renovation of the first floor to include lobby, conference room, restrooms, parks/recreations
office, utility office, weliness area, open area, and stairway to the second floor, (4) renovation of the second floor to make areas
more functional, (5) exterior building enhancements, landscaping, irrigation, and walkways. City Manager VanDerworp said

money is budgeted for replacement of the carpet in the Commission Chambers and the roof.
Mike Kirby, Committee Chairman, and Jerry Mills of Burke, Bales, Mills & Associates, Inc., were present to
discuss the Committee's recommendations. Mr. Mills presented sketches of the building's exterior and discussed possible
enhancements. [Commissioner Wrtlliams returned. ] He also presented and discussed a sketch of a stairway to the second floor.
The City Manager distributed plans for first floor renovations which include space for a lobby and main entrance, conference
room, Utility Department, Recreation and Parks Department, Police Department space, restrooms, and wellness center.
City Manager VanDerworp requested that some of the funds set aside for carpeting the first floor be used to
retain the firm of Burke, Bales, Mills & Associates to provide renovation design options for the Commission's review.
The City Manager requested the Commission's approval to place the City's logo on the wall behind the dias,
which should cost $1,680.
After discussion, the Commission concurred to move forward with a roof design, and to take action tonight
regarding allocating $10,000. to retain the firm of Burke, Bales, Mills & Associates, Inc. to provide renovation options for first
floor space of City Hall and the Police Department space needs, and to purchase the City Commission Chamber logo.

Board appointments.
This item was not discussed; action will be taken at tonight's Meeting.
Reeular Agenda items. Add-on items, and other items.
A. West Lake Apartments - payment of impact fees. Mayor Dale reported the Commission pre~ously
authorized deferred payment of impact and permit fees with the stipulation that the fees would be paid prior to any construction.
The City has received $557,092. for payment of impact and permit fees. A letter from Michael Murray states the contractor
drew down funds in January to pay impact and permit fees in the amount of $237,969.72, and the remaining $380,938.28 for
impact and permit fees will be paid from the February draw, and requests the issuance of permits so he can proceed.
Additionally, due to the County miscalculating impact fees, there is an additional amount due in excess of $200,000. Mr. Murray
has agreed to pay the amount due but would like to pay it at issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. The Commission
concurred to take action on this item at tonight's Meeting.
B. Add-on item 1, Lake Monroe Restoration Project/FDEP Grant - $5.25 million. City Manager
VanDerworp reported funds for Seawall restoration have been requested in a Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(FDEP) Grant. The Grant requires the project sponsor or grant recipient to provide at least a 50 percent match. Because of the
project size, it is not possible to match, therefore a reduction in the match requirement has been applied for, based upon the
City's inability to support further debt. The Grant application was filed indicating that the commitment of $125,000. for FY
2000-01 and $125,000. for FY 2001-02, and the commitment to place this project in a stormwater master plan was subject to
approval of the Commission. After discussion, the Commission concurred to take action on the item at tonight' s Meeting.
C. Commissioner Lessard, Commission liaison to the Fire Department, and Battalion Chiefs Jerry Ransom
and Mike Hoening, gave a brief presentation regarding pay for firefighters. After discussion, the Commission requested that
the ~ity Manager discuss this item with Commissioner Lessard and Staff and bring comments to the Commission at the next
Work Session.

Citizen participation.
Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, said there should be a price break for City residents versus non-
residents for swimming pool use, and that the adult fee should be less than $3. Mayor Dale said the pool is a joint pool between
the City and the County and there would be no price break.
Michelle Burlier read and submitted statements from herself and Sandra Moore requesting payment of the
remaining 7/8 of their accumulated sick leave which they anticipated receiving upon their retiring from the City. Inquiry was
made as to why only 1/8 sick time was paid and she was informed that Ordinance No. 3388, which changed the payout formula
for sick time for retirees, was passed on February 23, 1998; to the best of her knowledge, employees were not notified of the
ordinance and the changes imposed upon them. She said that as recently as January 2000, the employee handbooks in the
Human Resource Director's office and the Benefit Technician's office had not been changed to reflect Ordinance No. 3388, and
that changes should not be implemented until employees have been notified. Additionally, Ordinance No. 3388 appears to be
discriminatory in nature and should be readdressed by the Commission; if an employee retires after ten years of service, age
should not be a deterring factor in how sick time accruals should be treated.
