Roy McConnell, Engagement Manager and Roger Bowen were present from Greene and Dycus to review the 1997 City
Audit. Mr. Reilly discussed several changes in the audit process, specifically having to do with CRA's and state grant
compliance. Financial trends and key indicators were discussed by Mr. LeFils who reported the city has good liquidity.
Mr. McConnell advised the City to review its internal controls and operations in regard to grant activities, monthly closing
cycle and lease income. Mr. Royster reported the audit was 95% good. City Manager Simmons reported the Commission
will receive Staff input on the internal controls issues. Mayor Dale reported the City should have Greene and Dycus also
do an audit of the Airport Authority. Mayor Dale introduced County Commissioner Daryl McLain and Jim Stelling,
Treasurer of the State Republican Party.
Mayfair Golf Course Analysis.
City Manager Simmons reported finance had prepared an analysis as a result of an opinion of the City
Attomey with regard to interpretation of the golf course lease. The analysis shows that the golf course should have been
paying rent to the City but has not done so. Donna Watt, Finance Director, expressed concern that on paper the golf course
is showing expenditures but there is no documentation for those expenditures. Mayor Dale reported an audit of the golf
course should be done to be sure the citizens of Sanford are getting what is due for this asset. City Manger Simmons
reported Mr. Daniels, president of Seminole Club, Inc., Mayfair Country Club shotrid review the records of the golf course
from the present back. The Commission concurred to have the City Manager pursue the possibility of an audit by Greene
and Dycus of the golf course, and bring more information back at the next meeting.
Request for City Services for July 4th Celebration.
City Manager Simmons reported Sanford Main Street and the radio station would like to enter into a
contract for the 4th of July fireworks and celebration and Sanford Main Street would like to be assured of City in-kind
services with respect to the police officers, minimum EMT service and clean up after the event. This was done last year as
well as spraying for midges. This has been budgeted for this year. The Commission asked Chief Dillard to check with the
Sheriff' s Department for use of trustees for clean up. There was a consensus of the Commission to provide the requested
in-kind services for the July 4th event.

Goal Settin~ for the City Commission.
Mayor Dale reported he would like planning and siting of a sewer plant at the airport a major goal this year,
as well as the adoption of a Master Plan. He would also like to have a joint meeting with the Airport Authority to
formulate the Master Plan and work with Seminole County and the Airport Authority on .it. He also reported we do not
have a Master Stormwater Utility Plan for the Airport, and the Commission needs to adopt a policy that the Stormwater
Plan be given priority, and he will ask the Commission to authorize him to write a letter to the Airport Authority
requesting this be done. Ongoing goals reported by the Mayor were lakefront improvement, midge control and the 46A
corridor infrastructure. The Mayor reported he wants the Commission' s goals to be prioritized by the end of March.
Commissioner Wiltjams would like to set a goal of developing a program to redevelop business and housing in the West
Side, and changing the' Code Enforcement process so that it is not strictly complaint driven. She would also like to see a
Community Center in Sanford. Commissioner Williams also thought that something more should be done to show that
Sanford is "The Friendly City", possibly doing something downstairs in the City Hall Building and City employees being
more helpful and friendly. Commissioner Lessard reported his goal would be to lower the millage rate.
PaEe Jackson Cemetery clean-up.
City Manager Simmons reported that part of the cemetery is in the City and Wart is in the County. A
meeting with the County staff was held to see what could be done with the cemetery in its totality. Howard Jeffties
provided a cost estimate in total amount of $65,965.00 for clean-up of the portion in the City. City Manager Simmons
reported it could probably be done for less by using volunteers and/or trustees. He is looking for a commitment to clean it
up so that a maintenance contract can be entered into for next year.
Douglas Stenstrom, Harriet Boyd, and Violet Gerrard Jackson Crawford were present and gave a brief
history of the cemetery and the name, which they stated is Page Jackson, not Pace Jackson. Ms. Crawford is meeting with
Alicia Clark at the Sanford Museum tomorrow to make a tape of the history as she remembers it. Millard Hunt, president
of the Sanford Historical Society, reported the clean up is important and the Historical Society will work with Ms. Clark to
complete the history.. The Commission concurred to have the City Manager proceed with developing a time frame for the
clean up. City Manager Simmons reported the Commission needs to make a decision on policy regarding either buying
property to expand the cemetery and have the funding for maintenance come from the General Fund, or set up an
expansion fund to be used as a perpetual care fund. Commissioner Eckstein reported this project should be a long term
goal of the Commission, and input should be solicited from the Cemetery Advisory Committee.
Design Firm for the Historic Sanford Memorial Stadium Restoration.
City Manager Simmons reported the Historic Sanford Memorial Stadium Design Firm Selection Committee
recommended number one ranking for Scott Architecture Firm, their team, and their parmer, The Orlando Sports
Commission. City Manager Simmons recommended approval of the number one ranking firm and authorization to begin
the process of fee negotiations. Jason Weeks and John Saboor from the Scott Partnership introduced themselves.

Roanoke Trip.
Mayor Dale reported he had received a tentative date of Tuesday, February 24 for a trip to Roanoke by the
City Commission and Seminole County Task Force. Commissioner Eckstein and Commissioner Williams felt it should be
a date when every Commissioner could go, possibly a Saturday. Mayor Dale said someone from the Task Force needs to
go because a convention center is more important to them than what the City Commission has to do: Extensive discussion
of public awareness and opinion of the hotel project meted a consensus that the Mayor would try to get a Saturday date for
the trip to Roanoke.
City paid Life hsuranee.
Tim McCauley, Human Resources Director, reported he had provided to the Commission a memo in
response to some questions from the Commission regarding City paid life insurance. He also requested direction
considering the contract for life insurance for the City is out to bid fight now for coverage of 1 times salary for exempt
employees and $5,000.00 for non-exempt employees. If the Commission wishes to change these figures it should be bid
with alternatives so it doesn't have to be re-bid. City Manager Simmons reported any change would not take effect until
October 1, 1998. The Commission concurred to bid our current coverage plus an option of 1 time annual salary for all
employees.
Procedures for nominatine City Manager selection committee.
City Manager Simmons reported it is costing about $200.00 to advertise in the ICMA, and it is his
understanding the Commission does not wish him to advertise in newspapers. The Commission agreed. After discussion

committee. Names suggested were: George Wallace, Daryl McLain, Doug Sills or Brian Baumgardner~ Tim Hudson, Lon
Howell, Bob Parsell, Sylvester Chang, Eliza Pringle, Walt Nason, Michael Skat and Bobby Douglas. It was suggested that

at tonight's meeting.
Setting second meetin~ in May. 1998.
City Manager Simmons reported that the second regularly scheduled meeting in May, 1998 falls on the day
Memorial Day is celebrated. He suggested moving the meeting to either the Monday prior, which would cause a crunch in
preparing the agenda, or the Tuesday after. The Commission concurred to hold the meeting on Tuesday, May 26, 1998 at
the regular time.
Local mitigation strateey funding.
Mayor Dale reported he had received notice from the State Department of Community Affairs regarding the
local mitigation strategy funding for disaster preparedness. The State reported that the City of Sanford is eligible to
receive funds of up to $15,000 to complete a single, unified Local Mitigation Strategy in coordination with Seminole
County. The county will receive funds from the State that include the amount calculated for each city. This amount will
be subgranted to each municipality as part of an agreement to develop a unified Local Mitigation Strategy in coordination
with the County. Mayor Dale reported that Diane Crews, the Commission's secretary, has taken college classes in this
area and suggested that she coordinate the efforts with the County. City Manger Simmons reported this function has
always been handled by the Fire Department. Mayor Dale reported the City should accept the funding from the State and

late for this agenda. He is expecting someone to bring this up at Citizen's Participation at tonight's meeting, but Staff has

Robert Dowd, Attorney for requesters of a dance hall permit, came forward and reported his clients were
attempting to open a new night club in the old Tstmami Beach building. He introduced the owners as Betray and Juan.
They have applied for a State Liquor License and will be applying for zoning, building and fire inspections and permits.
They would like to open February 22, 1998 and would like to petition the Commission for that permit tonight. City
Manager Simmons reported Staff is still reviewing this request for a Dance Hall Pennit and Conditional Use, and he
recommended that this item be put on the agenda for the February 23, 1998 meeting. The requesters reported they had
operated clubs in New York and had been very successful. This would be a dance hall with a live DJ, and possibly a band,
and it would be for people twenty-one years old and up. There would be no drugs allowed, and there hopefully will be
high school and college nights. They will have their own security and all. activities will be inside, nothing outside. They
have not had to do any redecorating on the inside, just a few repairs. Commissioner Eckstein reported the Commission
had been bumed at that location before and they are very cautious. The potential owners reported his establishment will
not be the same type as the Tsunami Beach Club was and will not create that type of problems. Mayor Dale reported the
Commission is not against a clean-cut dance operation, but it will not tolerate drugs, etc. Betray and Juan again reported
that this will be a drug free operation. Their target date to open was to be February 21st, but now they will change it to the
week between the 23rd and the 281h. Mayor Dale again explained this is not something the Commission can do offof the
agenda because they have to wait for the Staff input. Mr. Dowd indicated the owners understood and will work with Staff
this week to provide whatever information or documents are needed.
Laura Shesouse, Brain Towers, read a petition, which she indicated had been signed by several residents, in
opposition of the planned development of Ft. Mellon Park. She gave the petition to Jan Dougherty, City Clerk, for filing.

City Manager Simmons reported the City has been working with Lonnie Groot and :Frances Chandler of
Seminole County on the proposed interlocal agreement regarding adult entertainment. The County has rezoned a couple of
parcels on the west side of town and has downzoned away from adult entertainment a large section east of the airport.
This rezoning will become effective March 30, 1998. The interlocal agreement would allow the City and the County to
share the sites the County has designated and the sites the City designated by Ordinance several years ago. This agreement
is written so other cities can join providing they bring to the table sites of their own. This will be on the agenda on
February 23, 1998 for discussion. This will go to the City's Planning and Zoning Commission on March 5, 1998 and the
Commission will vote on first reading of an Ordinance for this agreement March 9, 1998 and for second reading on March
23, 1998.

YMCA to explore the possibility of the YMCA being the operations contractor for the swimming pool proposed to be built

haulers before advertising the RFP. The Commission concurred to do this.

Apartments and expects to have the proposed data this week to send back to DCA for their review. The next hearing will
