12) CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
13) CITY COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS.
Commissioner M ° Canty said that he is excited that the City Manager is
going to start working on a strategic plan. Tonight we approved $92,000 for helping fund
LYNX over ten years which amounts to close to a million dollars for bus service. Fie
would like to see the possibility of getting some antique trolleys with that money or talk
about the possibility of bringing in people from our rail station through our City where
we want to take them; maybe create a few jobs; possibly even have a leasing company to
handle it; coming up with new ideas for the future of Sanford. He said that he enjoys the
selections the Police Chief made in his new captains, and asked Chief Lee to introduce
them.
Vice Mayor Mahany announced that this Wednesday the Citizens
Advisory Board will meet in District 4 at 6:30 at the Safe Harbor Christian Church, 770
Upsala Road. She will be there, as will Mr. Bonaparte; she invited citizens to attend.
She reported that last Wednesday she attended a meeting at the Lake Mary Community

Center that involved the closing of the Rinehart processing center. The Mayor was also
there and spoke about the impact that the closing will have on our economy. The post
office is consolidating as well as closing some of the processing facilities. They are
doing away with next day mail, Saturday delivery, etc. The post office owns the building
on Rinehart and employs 500; they lease the Orlando facility they plan to consolidate
with and 148 are employed. She asked the post office executives to consider use of the
Orlando Sanford International Airport. The United Association of Postal Workers sent a
lovely bouquet of flowers to her at City Hall because they are excited about using the
Sanford Airport. It was a lovely gesture but the flowers will remain at City Hall for the
employees to enjoy.
Commissioner Williams thanked the Commission for supporting her
initiative to change the name of 13` Street to Historic Goldsboro Boulevard. She
announced the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day activities that will transpire this weekend and
invited everyone to attend. People on the west side are pleased to finally get the
Oleander Avenue extension; in case of an emergency there is another exit out of
Goldsboro.
Commissioner Jones said that the City spent thousands of dollars and
countless hours on a master plan for the downtown core which gave a guideline for
economic prosperity within the downtown. However, during that planning process, there
was no discussion regarding the allowance of non profit or subsidized style housing. The

Sanford Lofts project falls very shoal of the City's goals and objectives; the allowance of
this type of use sets a terrible precedence for land use decisions within the downtown
core. Once precedence is set it is nearly impossible to reverse. He asked the
Commission if it was open to reconsideration of the Lofts project; the Mayor,
Commissioner Williams, and Commissioner M ° Carty were not.
Mayor Triplett asked Economic Development Director Nick Mcray about
the CRA's loan subsidy program and what has transpired, as there are buildings that need
work and there is a demand for the program. Mr. Mcray said that CRA funds are limited
to the tax increment revenue of ad valorem taxes. The last CRA budget approved had to
balance the recurring capital expenses including debt service for First Street programs as
well as the commitments to other recurring programs. The CRA redevelopment plan
includes prioritization of streets and certain public infrastructure. If revenues continue to
decline, it will be necessary to re- prioritize the number of streets that can be completed
by the sunset of the CRA. The loan rehabilitation subsidy is currently funded at
$100,000, of which $19,000 remains. The budget has changed from $1.5 million in
2008/2009 to a projection of about $900,000 flat going forward. Mayor Triplett said this
can be discussed further; he hates to see such a successful program bear the brunt of the
full economic impact.
Regarding the Rinehart post office, the Mayor asked the Commission to
authorize he and Mr. Bonaparte to scribe a letter to be written to Congressman Mica,

Congresswoman Brown, the Postmaster General, and the district representative regarding

building at the Orlando International Airport. The Commission had no objection.
Commissioner Mahany asked why the entrance of Tuscany Enclave on W.
46 A has an iron fence and every other development in that area has a brick wall. Mr.
Bonaparte said he will ask Mr. Gibson to ask his colleagues in Lake Mary what was
approved for that development.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjcla ned at 8:27 PM.
