Mr. Dake presented each member with an analysis of the
General Fund Expenditures from 1964 to 1969 and an
estimate of the 1971 through 1976 expenditures. It
was learned that the City of Sanford is spending $81
per capita average while other Florida cities of
comparable size are having to spend $121 per capita
for the same amount of services. Mr. Dake attributes
this to the capable guidance of the City Manager.
The City Planner after a thorough discussion of the
needed improvements requested that each member think
about what is needed for the future development of
the City of Sanford and to prepare a list of the.
Capital Improvements that in his opinion is needed.
A priority list then should be decided upon and sub-
mitted to the City Commission as a guide before going
into a bond issue to fund the improvements.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
