Chairman McKibbin called the meeting to order.
Minutes of August 18, 1966, were read in full and approved.
The first item of business was a report made by the City
Manager bringing the Board up -to -date regarding recent information
pertaining to federal aid programs by first relating that on
his recent trip to Washington in attendance of the informative
program given by Vice President Humphrey on same that money is
available but there are not enough communities that can apply
because they are not large enough but felt that Sanford would
not have any trouble in eventually getting a portion of these
funds. However, the volume of red tape and paper work is
tremendous.
He further related that there has been no response to
letters and telephone calls to George Caleshu, Urban Programming
Corporation of America, St. Louis, Missouri, in order to obtain
a progress report regarding their contract agreement with the
City on updating the City's Comprehensive Plan and recertifying
the Workable Program. Therefore, a letter to this firm had given
them a date of December 9, 1966, to make such a report or the
agreement would be terminated. There has been no response to
the letter.

The Manager stated that the City Commission is interested
in pursuing these federal aid programs for the City.
The Board then discussed the idea to re- discuss with Gerald
Dake, Planning Consultant with the f'6m. Adley and Associates,
Jacksonville, Florida, a proposal asTe very minimum require-
ments that could be done by their firm on the updating of the
City's Comprehensive Plan and recertification of the Workable
Program and at the same time be acceptable to HUD; allowing
the City to then be eligible to participate or make application
for certain federal programs.
It was also pointed out that possibly only the Workable
Program would necessitate recertification thereby keeping the
City's cost to a minimum instead of a complete overall updating
of the plan. A suggestion was made that a letter be written to
HUD, Atlanta, Georgia, stating the City's interest in re- certification,
but only updating the plan superficially and what would meet
minimum requirements whereby the City is interested in participating
in a Code Enforcement Program.
Mr. Harris mentioned the possibility of a letter as an
"addendum" outlining the projects that Sanford has completed
as set forth in the existing plan.
After lengthy discussion, on motion of Mr. Wharton, seconded
by Mr. Harris and carried, it was recommended that the City
Manager contact Gerald Dake of Adley and Associates to discuss
with the Zoning and Planning Commission the basic needs with
the minimum amount of work that can be done so that the City
can become recertified.
It was recommended that a joint meeting of the Zoning and
Planning Commission and the City Commission, with Gerald Dake,
be set for January 5, 1967 to further discuss these matters.
On motion of Mr. Harris, seconded by Mr. Wharton and carried,
it was recommended to the City Commission that the City Manager
be authorized, if necessary, to make a trip to Atlanta to talk
with HUD officials to see what the actual requirements are before
the meeting on January 5th.
A discussion was then held regarding the proposed new Sign
Ordinance now under consideration by the City Commission. The
Board reviewed a proposed list of recommendations pertaining
to same, and requested that they be pursued by forwarding to

On motion of Mr. Karns, seconded by Mr. Logan and carried,

County Courthouse whereby the City's Comprehensive Plan was
being adhered to regarding the selected site location.
