included in the re -do of the City's website.
13) CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
Frank Loose, a member of the Love Your Shorts Film Festival, said the
festival will be held on Valentine's Day weekend at the Helen Stairs Theater and
distributed two complimentary passes to each member of the Commission.
Melvin Philpot, MLK Steering Committee Chairman, thanked the
Commission for tremendous support of the activities last weekend, and thanked Staff and
all of the departments for help in putting the events together.
14) CITY COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS.
Commissioner M'Carty said he would like for our new website to stream
live video of City Commission meetings and asked Staff to look at what the cost would
be to put up digital cameras. We could better communicate and it goes right along with
the Commission's commitment to be more transparent in open government. He recently
read that GM has retained their dominance in leadership in the world for building cars.
It's exciting to see investment in our jobs. He challenged Mr. Bonaparte to look at every
way that the City can procure American made products so that we can get our jobs back
in Sanford and in our Nation. He suggested that our vendor list have something on it
asking that bids and estimates be submitted with American made products; get that
mentality going of thinking about investing in our City and our Country. Let's do what
we can to spend our money in Sanford.

REGULAR MEETING
Commissioner Jones thanked Mr. Philpot and the MLK Steering
Committee for doing a fine job every year. He and his wife attended the banquet and
really enjoyed it.
Vice Mayor Mahany echoed Commissioner Jones' comments about the
banquet. She said that she is appointed to the Student Museum Restoration Committee
but has been unable to attend the meetings because the time conflicts with the City
Commission meetings. She asked if Christine Dalton could attend the meetings because
she is the Historic Preservation Officer. Planning and Development Services Director
Russ Gibson said that Ms. Dalton has been regularly attending those meetings and she
reported today that the Seminole County School Board will formally consider UCIi's
offer to utilize the Museum facility. She also advised that there will be changes in the
way the committee operates and there is a proposed name change of the Committee to
The Friends of the Student Museum. Ms. Dalton has been tagged to be the Chair of the
sub - committee for the Student Museum restoration efforts. The Commission will be kept
apprised of forthcoming developments.
Vice Mayor Mahany said that she has received several complaints about
the condition of Paw Park: lack of mulch, no grass, fence in disrepair, aggressive dogs,
some owners don't clean up after their dogs, and the park is unsupervised. Mr. Gibson
said that the park site was City land. There was a community effort to raise funds for site
improvements and an organization continued that informally supervises the needs of the

park. Vice Mayor Mahany suggested that there be talks with the original group that
started the park and update and post the rules; possibly have a police officer or animal
control officer stop by the park on occasion; she has concerns and doesn't want to see
anyone's pet get sick or die. Commissioner Williams suggested that the Public Works
Department could look into the situation since it is :responsible for parks.
Commissioner Williams commended Mr. Philpot and the MLK Steering
Committee for an outstanding job, as usual. She also commended the Commission and
Staff for making it all possible. She thanked Police Chief Lee and the Police Department
for providing security. She also expressed thanks to Arlene Davison for being such an
asset to the MLK Steering Committee. She reminded everyone that Goldsboro Trail
Phase 2 is being completed. She thanked the Commission and Staff for making the
Oleander extension to 20 Street possible. She commended Mr. Bonaparte for his
support and all that he does, for moving in a positive direction, and reaching out to the
Commission with individual monthly meetings. Morale seems to be very high. She
announced that on February 10 "' there will be a senior citizen red and white ball at the
Westside Boys and Girls Club from 6:30 — 9:30, sponsored by the Recreation
Department. Anyone who wants to attend should let her know.
Mayor Triplett said that a PTA group is talking in advance about a
proposed 1 mil increase by the School Board to raise the $25 million they are behind this
year and moving forward. He spoke with the School Board Chairman about why the

cities hadn't been informed and was told that the Board has not made a decision. He
expects that when they make a decision they are going to come to the cities and county
for a decision to support or not support. He asked the Commission to stay apprised of
those discussions and be ready to discuss it.
Mayor Triplett said that he and Mr. Bonaparte attended the Mayors and
Managers meeting last week where there was discussion about the Altamonte Springs
Environmental Center. It sounded like an invitation would be extended to see what they
have going on and possibly that they may be looking for monetary support. He reminded
the Commission of the $1.4 million shortfall and to keep that in the forefront of
conversations because it is not going to be a fun time for the budget year so we need to be
protective of our assets.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjoWed at 8:35 PM.
