Employee of the Month Award.
Mayor Dale presented Bob Walters with the Employee of the Month award for September, 1999.
Waiver of Water & Sewer Impact Fees.
City Manager VanDerworp reported he received a letter from Carlton Henley, Chairman, Seminole County Board
of County Commissioners, requesting that the City consider enacting an ordinance similar to the County' s ordinance relating
to waiving impact fees .for private schools that are constructed within the City. After review by Staff and the City's Bond
Attorney, it was determined that the City's bond covenants and bond Resolution prohibit the waiver of impact fees, except as
specifically provided by law. After discussion, the Commission concurred that the Mayor send a letter to Chairman Henley
stating that the City's bond covenants do not allow waiving water and sewer impact fees for private schools.
FinaJGas Properties.
Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, reported that the Fina/Gas Properties site located at the
northeast comer of Park Avenue and Third Street is still in violation of non. compliance with Historic Guidelines regarding the
chain link fence, and that Code Enforcement fines continue to accrue. The City has been involved in legal action regarding this
item and prevailed. There was an appeal fried, and the City is anticipating receipt of an order dismissing the appeal. There has
been no formal response to the City's proposal to settle this situation with the owner correcting the violations and paying the
City' s legal expenses, and the fines would be forgiven. Mr. Rowe said that in anticipation of the dismissal of the appeal, the
Commission could consider foreclosure.
City Manager VanDerworp reported a settlement offer had been made and recommended that Fina/Gas Properties
be contacted via certified mail date certain, to continue with the settlement offer, and if it is rejected, then proceed with
foreclosure.
After discussion, the Commission concurred that Fina/Gas Properties should bring the property into compliance
with Code Enforcement Codes and pay their Code Enforcement fines, or the City would proceed with foreclosure. Action will
be taken on this item at tonight's Regular Meeting.
Police Department items:
1. Communications Center. Police Chief Brian Tooley distributed to the Commission the Agreement
between the Seminole County SherifFs Office and the City of Sanford for Dispatching Services which was signed by Donald
F. Eslinger, Seminole County Sheriff and needs to be signed by the City. The term of the Agreement is from October 1, 1999
until September 30, 2004 and will be r~newable in single or multiple year increments thereafter upon mutual agreement by both
parties and in accordance with applicable clauses in the Agreement. The purpose of the Agreement is to provide the service of

'police dispatching to the City Police Department and the residents of the City of Sanford. Chief Tooley reported the move of
ten full time and one part time Sanford Police Department Communication Operators to the Seminole County Sheriff's
Communication Center will occur on October 3, 1999. The former Sanford Police Department personnel will staff the Sanford
Police Department consoles at the Sheriff's Office, and phone calls from the City's public will be answered, "Sanford Police
Department." This change will allow a more economical utilization of computers in patrol vehicles for dispatch, records check,
and e-mail. A telephone with a direct line to the Sanford Police Department operators at the Sheriff' s Communications Center
will be installed outside the front door of the Sanford Police Department for use after hours, because no communications
personnel will be available at the front desk after hours.
City Manager VanDerworp reported there was discussion during the budget process regarding offering
communications' personnel jobs there or within the Police Department, and a few have taken jobs within the department. Also
discussed was paying the employees the difference between what they currently make and what they will make at the Sheriff's
Office. The Agreement includes $21,000. to handle the salary differential.
City Manager VanDerworp said the Agreement will be paid in quarterly payments. Each April the Sheriff will
provide the proposed cost for the following year which will be considered during the budget process.
City Manager VanDerworp said he would execute the Agreement, if there were no objections. The Commission
had no objection.
2. CSA (Community Service Area) Revision. Police ChiefTooley said there are presently eleven CSA's.
The theory is that each officer has a CSA and each CSA has officers assigned to it. However, the number of CSA's will be
reduced to seven because of the inability to staff eleven officers. When more than seven officers are on duty, those officers will
have specific assignments in the most problematic areas of the City. Additionally, District 1 requires twice the service as District
2, therefore, the districts will be divided by Hwy. 17-92 rather than 25m Street. The changes in the CSA' s must be made as soon
as possible so the County' s computers can be programmed for the October 3rd transition.
3. 13th Street Community Service Center. Police Chief Tooley said the hours of the 13m Street
Community Service Center presently mirror the hours of the Seminole County Sheriff's Office Community Service Centers
which are 8:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.. He is evaluating the best hours for the Center to be open to best serve the community and
to provide a police presence. Commissioner Williams requested that in addition to present staffing, the Center also be staffed
Friday and Saturday nights, later.
4. Commendation or Complaint Brochure. Police Chief Tooley said a Sanford Police Department
Commendation or Complaint brochure has been compiled which will facilitate citizens' ability to both praise and complain
regarding the performance of the police department The brochures will be available through distribution at public meetings and
convenience stores.
5. Department Assistance Form. Lieutenant Aaron Keith reported the Police Department and the citizens
can work with the City's departments through the use of the Department Assistance form. The form is a routine City services
work order to be used to report citizen complaints or situations which need attention from the various departments. The form
will be used to field complaints received through dispatch, the Community Service Center, or an officer on the street. It will
be routed to Lieutenant Keith and he will have staff log and distribute the complaint to the necessary department. Every
Monday he will review the complaints received, follow up on the complaints and take necessary steps to ensure the complaint

City Manager's briefing.
A. First Comprehensive Plan Amendment for 1999. Jay Marder, Director of Engineering and Planning,
reported that the Commission's Transmittat Heating for the First Comprehensive Plan Amendment of 1999 was held in May.
A set of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment was transmitted to the Florida Department of. Community Affairs. The
Amendment includes sixteen sites, most of which are annexations with equivalent land use designations from the County to the
City. Three of the sites change designations to more intensive/denser land uses.
Mr. Marder said the Florida Department of Community Affairs' Objections, Recommendations and Comments
reflect objections related to Resource Protection Areas (wetlands/water areas) for site 13, the McReynolds property, and site
15, on Oregon Avenue. Staff will prepare a response for these objections and will incorporate them into the Plan Amendment
package. The proposed School Siting Objectives and Policies which are required to be included in the Plan by October of this
year have been sent to the State; they had no comments, therefore, they are acceptable.
Mr. Marder said the adoption of the First Comprehensive Plan Amendment for 1999 is scheduled for October
11,1999.

Manager VanDerworp reported the City has leased the Westside Community Center to the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida
since October 1, 1989. The original agreement provided that the Boys & Gifts Club pay 25% of utility costs, telephone, etc,
and the routine maintenance and minor repairs not to exceed $1,000 in the aggregate in any one lease year. The City was
responsible for all other repairs and maintenance, including maintenance of the grounds. On June 28, 1995 the lease was
extended an additional five years, effective October 1, 1994 and expiring on October 1, 1999. There were changes from the
original lease which included the Boys & Girls Club being responsible for all utility costs and maintenance. The City is
responsible for repairs of a structural nature and maintenance of the grounds. In addition, the City also agreed to pay $500
a month for general support of youth programs.
City Manager VanDerworp said the maintenance expenses incurred by the City from FY 95/96 through 98/99
are $36,433., and include rehab of bathrooms, installation of lighting in the gym, general maintenance repairs, roof repair, and
general maintenance repair. Funds in the amount of $41,174. were contributed through the Seminole County Community
Development Block Grant Program 98/99, and improvements made include the HVAC system purchase and installation, public
address system purchase, and installation of sports floor.
City Manager VanDerworp recommended, in light of the benefit received for the use of the building, the recurring
City costs and competing City maintenance projects, that the building be offered for sale or donation to interested community
groups/organizations, or review the lease to provide for full maintenance and repair by the Lessee.
Commissioner Williams said she did not want to offer the building for purchase by the Boys & Gifts Club and
preferred to offer it to a local group or to retain it for recreation for residents. She did not want the building to be given to the
Boys & Girls Club. She said she would be in favor of leasing the building to the Boys & Girls Club. [Mayor Dale briefly left
the meeting and retumed.]
Commissioner Eckstein said that the City provides $6,000 a year for general support of youth programs, and that
the City receives the benefit of the activities and programs provided by the Boys & Girls Club, because the City would have to
provide the service if the Boys & Gifts Club did not. He said he would be in favor of leasing the building to the Boys & Girls
Club.
After discussion, the Commission concurred that Staff review the lease provisions and use of the building and
bring a lease and recommendation to the Commission for action at the next Regular Commission Meeting.
C. Chapter 120 hearing. City Manager VanDerworp reported regarding the 120 Hearing regarding the

Public hearinE to consider Condemnation Reports 9942 through 99-101 re: Ridgewood Villas, 2580 Ridgewood
Avenue (includes units' 101 through 130 and 201 throueh 230, Clubhouse, Pool, Shed, and all common areas).
Property was posted on September 2, 1999. Ad published September 3 and 10, 1999.
On recommendation of Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, Commissioner McClanahan
moved that the property known as Ridgewood Villas, in its entirety, be condemned and to allow owner(s) thirty days to
repair or demolish structure(s). Seconded by Commissioner Lessard. Commissioner Williams asked what the condemnation
and potential demolition means to someone who individually owns a unit. City Attorney Colbert said that from the City's
perspective, if a property is an endangerment to the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens, the City proceeds with a
condemnation procedure. The condemnation procedure is the same whether it is a eondominium with multiple owners of
individual units or an apartment building with one owner and many tenants, or a single family dwelling, or an individual lot.
Anyone having interest in a property is notified by the City of the proceeding, and individually and collectively there is a
responsibility to bring the property to an acceptable standard, and if it is not, then the City can proceed with demolition. If
there are competing interests between people regarding the property and money has been invested which Was not properly
utilized, then it is a matter for the courts to decide, not the City.
Oliver Bene~eld, 2580 Ridgewood Villas, said he invested $37,000 in the property and that he has moved
because of the condition of the property and because it is in the process of being condemned. He asked what his recourse
was because he owes the bank for the mortgage. City Attorney Colbert said Mr. Bene~eld's situation was a civil matter and
suggested he contact the lawyer referral service of the Florida Bar or Central Florida Legal Council.
Commissioner McClanahan said the units are in a common building and if the units on either side of Mr.
Benefield's unit are condemned, then Mr. Benefield's unit would also be condemned even if it were brought up to code.
