Commissioner Speer next moved that the agreement heretofore arrived at between the
City of Sanford and the Bond Holders Protective Committee be formally approved and a
copy of said agreement be spread upon the minutes of this Commission.
Seconded by Commissioner Lehman and carried, said agreement being in words and figuref
as follows:
Memorandum
"1. The City is to withdraw its pleas and no longer oppose entry of judgments in the
pending common law actions on the coupons, certificates of indebtedness and bonds which
shall be produced by plaintiffs and filed in these oases. the Judgments are to beer interest
at six per centum per annum instead of the legal rate of eight per cent.
2. The City shall pay the Committee, under mandamus proceedings, for interest on
bo#d.s held by the Committee, the following amounts from the funds stated below:
Bond Interest Fund .................. $44,081.65
Water profits ( to be applied to water
Bond interest) ....................... 6,000.00
From surplus in general fund.......... 52918.35
Gas bond redemption fund ( to be applied
on interest on gas bonds.)-- ........... 1,016.00
From special assessment fund ( to be
applied to assessment bonds.) .......... 24,000.00
Coupons will be surrendered covering such payments.
3. A form of budget should be adopted whereby there shall be appropriated to
interest payments on bonds and certificates of indebtedness ( except for water bonds)
a fixed percentage of all moneys received by the City from any source ( now existing
or which may be hereafter created) except from the operations of the water plant.
The budget should be fixed as of October 1, 1930., and should not appropriate any part
of the surplus existing on October 1, 1930.
4. The City has expended $16,553.06 from the surplus in the general fund since
October 1, 1930, leaving a balance now on hand ( after deducting the $5,918-35 to be paid
to the committee under paragraph two hereof) of approximately $18,000.00. The city is
willing to agree that the $18,000.00 now on hand shall be paid to the bondholders, after
there are sufficient collections under this year's taxes to permit its payment without
jeopardizing the funds such aneare necessary to run and operate the city. The $16,553.06
alreadyd.expended, the city feels that it is impossible to return this money, but is willing
to agree to return whatever surplus of the general revenues there may be in the hands of
the City on October 1, 1931; that is, the city's surplus as of that date to be turned over
to the bondholders' committee during the fiscal year 1931- 1932,. at such time as there are
sufficient funds in the hands of the city to pay the same without jeopardizing the actual
running expenses of the city.
5. The budget should be revised so that it willbae based on an estimate of not lees
than an 80 per cent collection of current taxes instead of 59 per cent as was the case with
the budget previously set up in 1930.
6.. All receipts of the water plant over and above operating expenses should be ap-
propriated to interest on water bonds. Water bonds should be excluded from the appropriation
for interest on bonds and certificates of indebtedness as provided in paragraph three, un-
less the estimated revenues from the water works will provide less funds, proportionately,
for water bonds than the other bonds and certificates will receive under the terms of this
memorandum, in which event a proportionate part of the moneys appropriated for interest on
bonds and certificates should, under paragraph three, be set aside or appropriated to interes

�- -& - 4- e�eet on water bonds, so that all bonds and certificates will receive approximately
equal consideration.
7. The city commission will agree to prepare a bill to amend its charter to permit
foreclosure of delinquent taxes without grace after such taxes become delinquent, and
will present the same to the representatives of Seminole County and will ask for its in-
troduction and passage; the city will agree upon a reasonable and orderly method of strict
enforcement of collection of delinquent taxes and assessments.

8. Since the city is accepting assessment bonds of one district, say district 1, in
payment of assessments in another, say District 2, and is accomplishing this purpose by
purchasing for the sinking fund of District No. 2 bonds of District No. 1, no reason is
perceived why certificates of indebtedness and general bonds should not be likewise accepted
in payment of assessments. Therefore, general bonds and certificates of indebtedness should
also be accepted in payment of assessment liens.
9. The committee will interpose no objection to the city's accepting bonds in payment
of taxes for the years 1927, 1929, and 1929, which are covered by the Dofnos writ and prior
years, provided
(1) The bonds will be accepted without restriction as to maturity or kind,
and
(2) 1930 taxes shall be paid in cash at the same time.
10. These proposals are based and conditioned upon the appropriation of sixty per
cent of all taxes and all receipts from every source to bond interest and forty per cent
thereof to operating expenses; and the proportionate part of such receipts appropriated to
bond interest should be placed in a separate account and paid out quarterly.
11. The city commission agrees to furnish the
any proposed amendment to the Charter of the city, or
the powers of the city in advance of its introduction
committee's counsel opportunity to submit their Views
the committee's counsel to agree to advise the city's
posed amendments to be made by the bondholders' co mmi-
behalf .
committee's counsel with copies of
any general legislation, affecting
to the legislature, and will give the

counsel of like legislation or pro -
ttee, or any one interested in its
12. The committee is firmly convinced that the millage levy required by the order of
• the Supreme,�Court is collectible and that the argument that a lower millage will produce more
money is unsound. However, the city commission and certain citizens of Sanford have repre-
sented to the committee that in their judgment the largest amount of money would be col-
lected under a 30 -mill levy, and have earnestly contended that a higher millage would ser-
iously impair the city's stability and prosperity. Because of these views and representations
and with an earnest desire to cooperate with the commission and the citizens of Sanford in
bringing about a condition which the committee hopes will tend to the ultimate solution of the
city's problems, the committee will accede to a levy of only 30 mills upon the following
conditions:
(1) All other points contained in this memorandum are conceded
by the city commission, and
(2) Not less than 19 mills of such levy shall be appropriated to
interest on bonds and certificates of indebtedness.
13. If the City desires to create a fund which will be appropriated exclusively to
the purpose of purchasing bonds, the committee will have no objections to an = increased levy
to provide funds for such purpose, if arrangements satisfactory to the committee and the
oommission can be devised for the administration of such funds.
14. If in the judgment of the committee the undertakings of the city contemplated
by this memorandum are satisfactorily performed, and if the city Chatter shall be amend6d
at the 1931 session of the legislature in form satisfactory to the committee so as to
provide for foreclosure of delinquent taxes by bill in equity without any period of grace
after such taxes become delinquent ( the present period for payment 69 taxes remaining un-
changed, except that the period :br collecting taxes for the year 1930 -1931 may be extended
to June 1, 1931) instead of the present system of tax sales, and if there is no substantial
change in conditions or in the aggregate assessed value of the taxable property within: the
city, unless changed by foreclosure or tax enforcement proceedings, the committee will
interpose no objections to substantially the same levy for the fiscal year 1931,1932, if
all other applicable features of this memorandum are continued in force. The committee re-
serves the right to determine for itself whether or not the city's undertakings have been
satisfactorily performed.
the
15 If the city Commission should reach /conclusion that the total operating expenses
for the city Jbr the entire budget year 193071931 and the budget year 1931 -1932 ( including
publicity, contingencies and all other items except bond interest ) cannot be fully paid with
a levy of 12 mills under the budgetary and financial plans contemplated by this memorandum,
and, therefore, find it necessary to levy more than 12 mills for operating expenses, the
millage for bond interest should be proportionately increased, that is, in the proportion
of one and a half mills for bond interest to one mill for operating expenses.
16. If these proposals are accepted, the committee will join the city in requesting
a modification of the Dos Amigos writ of mandamus in the Supreme Court of Florida to
conform to these proposals. -
