The City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida met in Work Session on Monday, April 13, 1998,
at 3:30 o'clock P.M. in the City Manager's Conference Room, Sanford City Hall, 300 North Park Avenue, Sanford,
Florida.
Present: Mayor-Commissioner Larry A. Dale
Commissioner Whitey Eckstein
Commissioner Brady Lessard
Commissioner Kerry D. Lyons
Commissioner Velma H. Williams
City Manager William A. Simmons
City Clerk Janet R. Dougherty
Absent: City Attorney William L. Colbert
The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Commissioner Willjams addressed the Commission concerning news media reports that had been circulated
recently. She reported at no time has she made any statements pertaining to white officers, so that information was
reported erroneously. Also, she reported she has not spoken to anybody at any meeting "one on one" about the
qualifications, the attitudes, the philosophies or the behaviors of any white officers. What she has done is articulated the
concerns of citizens, and a personal philosophy she has about diversity as it relates to the Community Policing Team that is
in District 2. She strongly feels, unequivocally, without any reservations, that there should be diversity and that there
should be at least one black policeman on that Community Policing Team. Commissioner Williams also reported there
should be more black police officers on the Staff.
Commissioner Willjams reported that at the two Community Meetings that she attended she simply
restated the concems already stated by the citizens about the absence of a black officer on the Community Policing Team.
She also reported to the citizens she had been informed by Chief Dillard that the reason there were no black officers on
that Team was because none had volunteered to serve on that Team. She further encouraged the citizens to support the
Community Policing Team, even though it was all white. Later she heard from the black police officers that what Chief
Dillard said about n~iblack officers volunteering for the Community Policing Team in District 2 was not true, and she
didn't know who to believe. Commissioner Williams felt that what has been done and said about her borders on slander.
Thelma Mike reported confusion over what she thought was a positive move with the Community Policing
Team, and all the controversy over black officers. A pastor from Goldsboro reported that the problems in Goldsboro have
been reduced through the efforts of ChiefDillard, but there are some cultural concerns in his parish that no one can
change. Another lady in the audience concurred that there have been some positive changes in Goldsboro, and reported
that Commissioner Williams has been very instrumental in the improvements in the area.
City Manager Selection Advisory Committee recommendations.
George Wallace, Chairman of the City Manager Selection Advisory Committee, reported the Committee
has completed its recommendation of the top nine applicants for the City Manager position. About 130 applications were
received, and they classified them as Qualified, Maybe Qualified and Not Qualified. They then concentrated on the
Qualified applicants and chose (in no particular order) Paul Alan Steinbrenner, Ron H. Rabun, Edward Mitchell, Mark D.
Vanderpool, Henry Clarke Dolive, James W. Zumwalt, Michael J. Wright, Anthony Van Der Worp, and J. Michael
Wilkes. The Commission received the list of applicants, their resumes, and the matrix and rating sheets of the Committee.

The Commission concurred to review all of this information and come back in two weeks to narrow the selection down to
three people for the Commission to interview.
Utility Projects.
David Gearock of Conklin, Porter and Holmes reported when reclaimed water demands are highest is when
the wastewater flows are lowest. Consequently, the idea is to take water out of Lake Monroe to supplement the reclaimed
water system, and therefore service more customers, have a better beneficial use for the reclaimed water and during dryer
periods supplement out of the lake. The intent is to preserve the higher quality potable groundwater supplies for drinking
purposes. This is also a major goal of the St. Johns Water Management District which Staff has been working with, and
the City is scheduled to receive a $300,000.00 Federal EPA Grant that would assist in procuring property for this project
(with a 55% City match of the project cost). The St. Johns Water Management District wants to try to reduce groundwater
withdrawals throughout the area, predicting a shortage in groundwater supply. There may be future funding for this
project.
Mr. Gearock reported the City is in a good position to take advantage of a State Revolving Loan Program
based on work that has previously been done. In March the City submitted Requests for Inclusions (including road
projects and the new water reclamation facility near the Airport) on the planning portion of the State Revolving Loan
priority list which puts the City in a position, if it does certain activities, to get elevated to the fundable portion of the list.
The next step is preparation of a Facilities Plan (a Water Facilities Plan and a Waste Water Facilities Plan). A Project
Schedule was presented and discussed. Also a Waste Water Plant site needs to be identified and secured in order to
proceed with the next phase, which is preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Water Reclamation Facility. The
Plan will also address financing of the project.
City Manager Simmons reported concern that the FAA does not want anything for two miles around the
Airport, and he does not feel the FAA should tell the City what they can do with its Airport. The City must get aggressive
and look at property adjacent to the Airport, where it would be annexable into the City. Mr. Simmons reported three
possible twenty acre sites adjacent to the Airport. The Commission concurred the City Manager was to proceed with
contacting some of the property owners of these sites and see what feasibly can be accomplished.
Solid Waste RFP.
Jerry Herman, Public Works Director, reported a meeting was held with the haulers to finalize the proposal
and several items were discussed in reference to the RFP. He presented these concerns, along with his recommendations,
as follows:
1) Will City Solid Waste Division be required to purchase the existing equipment in their proposal?
Recommend Solid Waste not re-purchase owned equipment. After discussion the Commission
concurred the Solid Waste should be required to purchase the existing equipment (on paper only).
2 ) Shotrid roll-off service be bid now so it can be merged into the contract (existing contract expires
December, 2001 )?
Recommend inclusion of roll-off service in the proposal to establish pricing for the contractor when
the existing roll-off franchise expires. Commission concurred with recommendation.

The contract requires the hauler to have an office and yard located within 10 miles of the City limits.
Some haulers state this is a hardship and undue expense for them.
Recommend action as deemed appropriate by the Commission. The 10-mile requirement is
included to limit the distance employees will have to commute, to assure the haulers facilities will
allow prompt response for service and is a local call for customers. Commission concurred to leave
the ten mile limit in the contract.
The contract and proposal includes a 15% franchise fee, some haulers object to inclusion of a
franchise fee in their rate since the City is providing billing setvices and could simply charge an
additional amount over the contractor's price.
Recommend franchise fee rates of 15% remain as part of the proposer's rate as stipulated in the
contract. After discussion the Commission concurred to leave the franchise fee pricing in the
contract.
Haulers requested that a consumer price index, (CPI), or refuse rate index, (RRI), be used in the
contract. The document allows the contractor to submit for increases based on landfill rate changes,
and allows them to annually petition for increases because of 'substantial and unusual increases in
the cost of doing business'.
Recommend rate increases remain as stipulated and no automatic index be utilized. Commission
concurred there should be no automatic index increase, but the Commission should not withhold
authorization of a rate increase without just cause.
Haulers object to the increased operating cost of submitting annual certified financial statements
prepared by an independent Certified Public Accountant, and request that their internal auditors be
allowed to provide the information.
Recommend action as deemed appropriate. Financial reporting is not as critical when the City does
the billing, the requirement would be appropriate during petitions for rate increases and perhaps it
should be included in the rate increase section. After discussion the Commission concurred an audit
should be required to justify a rate increase request.
The contract calls for the City to hold title to the equipment and vehicles used in performing the
work in addition to a performance bond equal to one year's billings; haulers requested that the
performance bond remain and that the titles should not be included.
Recommend action as deemed appropriate. Holding titles, in addition to the bond, is to assure that
the City could repossess the equipment and perform the work if the contractor fails to meet their
obligation satisfactorily. Commission concurred that a bond would be required.
Does the City Commission want to require the contractor to use Seminole County facilities for solid
waste disposal?
Recommend action as deemed appropriate. Commission concurred the haulers need not be required
to use Seminole County facilities.

City Manager reported after these changes are made to the proposed contract and RFP they will be
submitted to the haulers, and the haulers will have approximately thirty days to respond.
Contracts for Second Street Storm Sewer Interceptor Construction Project.
5erry Herman, Public Works Director, reported the bids came in on the Second Street sewer project about
10% to 15% lower than estimated. The contracts will be voted on tonight and it will be approximately 45 to 60 days
before ground breaking. All sidewalks along Second Street will be done in conjunction with this project, as well as
landscaping and replacing some fire hydrants.
Ft. Mellon Park Redevelopment Project.
City Manager Simmons recommends awarding a contract to Solin and Associates to prepare a
Comprehensive Plan amendment and requisite support material regarding the Ft. Mellon Park Redevelopment Project.
The City would have to pay for this, with possible reimbursement from a future developer.
Ordinance No. 3406, re: Firefighters Retirement System.
Donna Watt, Finance Director, reported as a result of the last meeting of the Fire and Police Pension Board
it was decided to update the City Ordinances to be in accordance with the mandate laws that govern them. The only
request was to change the benefit multiplier in the Fire Pension Ordinance from the current 2.78 to 2.97, which should not
have any financial impact on the City. This change would be retroactive to 10/01/97.
Acquisition of Sandefur property for Mill Creek Phase III B storm water retention.
City Manager Simmons reported the City has received an offer to allow it to purchase the 8.12 acres of
vacant land surrounded by West 20th Street, Roosevelt Avenue, West 19th Street, and Mulberry Avenue in Sanford at
$40,000 per acre plus use of all fill dirt from the City's retention area. City Manager Simmons recommends asking Mr.
Sandefur how they determined this figure. This is about $100,000 higher than the City's appraisal. Also, the City needs to
find out the quantity of dirt they are desiring to buy. The Commission concurred this should be investigated further.
Request for approval to apply to the Planning and Zoning Commission for property located at 1719. South Sanford
Avenue. to permit it to be used as a Bed and Breakfast.
City Manager Simmons reported this request has been voluntarily withdrawn by the applicant, and will not
be addressed at tonight's meeting.
Cafeteria (pretax) insurance plan through Professional Insurance Corporation.
Tim McCauley, Human Resources Director, reported his concern with this issue is the timing. The City has
all of its benefits out to bid right now. To expand the City's pretax program, and add items, at this time may have an
adverse effect on the bids. His recommendation was to wait until next year to bid for a full-blown cafeteria plan.
Mr. Doug Murdock of Professional Insurance Corporation reported they would like to assist the City in
expanding its existing Section 125 cafeteria plan to include spending accounts. This would enable the City employees to
pay for two categories of benefits on a pre-tax basis. These would be child care (up to $5,000.00 a year) and unreimbursed
medical expenses (any medical, dental or vision expenses paid by the employee). Professional Insurance Company would
pay the administrative costs of this program.
City Manager Simmons suggested Mr. Murdock meet with Tim McCauley and Finance Director, Donna
Watt to further explore the impact on, and benefits to, City employees before the Commission considers this option.

their front yard, but they can have any other kind of fence. The Commission was asked if they wished to change these
regulations. After discussion the Commission concurred to let Staff work on this issue and present proposed changes to
the Commission at a later date.

Presentation of police bicycles.
Commissioner Lessard recognized Conklin, Porter and Holmes Engineers and the Kiwanis, represented by
Mac McClanahan, for providing a bicycle each to the Sanford Police Department to assist in the Community Policing
effort. ChiefDillard reported the bicycles are worth about $2,200.00 each.
Citizen participation.
Doreen Freeman reported concern that the City was going to a private firm to do a Comprehensive Plan, at a
cost of $8,500.00, before the developer has confirmed what they are going to do. She was under the impression that the
cost of the Comprehensive Plan was part of the developer's responsibility. Also, she didn't understand why the City
engineers aren't doing the Comprehensive Plan instead of hiring an outside agency, that should be part of the City
engineer' s job requirement. Mayor Dale explained the City has used this firm in the past on other Comprehensive Plans.
City Manager Simmons reported the item being voted on tonight is an analysis for Future Land Use Change to the
Comprehensive Plan and has nothing directly to do with what the developer, or anyone else, might do as far as developing
and building. This is required by the State Land Planning Statutes that requires the City to amend the Comprehensive Plan
to address the change of possible Land Use within that area from recreational to possible other types of development. He
also reported the City Staff is not doing the Comprehensive Plan because it is done so infrequently that the City cannot
afford to keep a paid full-time staff to handle the occasional instances.

Mayor Dale reported the Commission would hear from those persons present to speakon any of the
properties listed on the Condemnation List. Citizens appeared as follows:
Doris Rotundo, 1410 E. 20th Street, reported the property at 1406 E. 20th Street is a rough place with traffic
in and out all night, and she is afraid it will catch on fire and bum her house. Something needs to be done immediately
about this house.
Richard Riley, owner of property at 546 Plumosa Avenue, reported he has spoken to the building
department and has made improvement by cleaning up the garbage, debris, etc. on the property. He also has had the water
and electric turned back on. He is looking for a contractor and working with the building inspector to see what else needs
done to bring this property up to code. Commissioner Eckstein moved to condemn the property and withhold the title
search for thirty days in which time the owner is to make repairs/submit a time frame for making repairs, and give the
owner until May 12, 1998 to repair or demolish. If the property owner fails to effect such demolition and removal or
repair within said thirty day period, the City shall demolish and remove the buildings and/or structures and the actual cost
of said removal and disposal, including administrative costs, will be assessed as a lien against the property. Seconded by

contacted the State for the proper papers. She is in the process of paying off the property, and in the meantime has
relatives living in the existing structure on the property. Commissioner Lyons moved to condemn the property and
withhold the title search for thirty days in which time the owner is to speak with Staff regarding zoning and other issues
and make repairs/submit a time frame for making repairs, and to give the owner until May 12, 1998 to repair or demolish.

William Sleast with Jim Walter Homes, 1639 North Volusia Avenue, reported he is representing Mr. Alfred
Roberts, the owner of the property at 1001 Pine Avenue. Mr. Roberts wishes to rebuild on this property, and would like
the City to condemn and demolish the structure immediately, and he will pay the City for the demolition. Jim Walter
Homes has been contracted to build a new home for Mr. Roberts on this site.
Ted Davis, 615 E. Third Street, a member of the Masonic Lodge, reported the members of the Lodge are
aware of the condition of the building at 701 Pine Avenue but they cannot afford to fix the building, so he asked for
assistance from the City in the form of programs or funding that might be given to the Masonic Lodge. Charles Rowe
reported that the deadline for submission of Community Development Block Grants for the upcoming fiscal year
beginning October 1, 1998 has already passed, and the next opportunity for that type of money would be a year from today,
which means they would not receive the money until October 1, 1999. Other possibilities would be the Division of
Historic Resources, Department of State in Tallahassee, or other opportunities in the private sector, which listing may be
found in the various Grants Registers and Foundation Registers (which may be found in the library at University of Central
Florida). Any funding that may be granted would not be forthcoming for at least six months. Mr. Rowe did agree that this
building is a landmark and of historical significance. Mr. Davis then asked if the City could assist in demolition, and the
Lodge could then pay the lien a little at a time until it was paid off Mr. Rowe explained that if nothing was done to the
property by the Lodge it would be demolished and a lien put against the property. Mr. Davis reported they would like the
building demolished and a lien placed against the property.
W. C. Cummings, Secretary, Masonic Lodge, reported the Lodge has been seeking ways to restore this
structure, but they now feel it may be beyond repair. He asked for a thirty day extension to see if funding can be acquired.

Commissioner Lessard reported the property at 1217 Palmetto Avenue was bought and sold at quite a profit,
and the renovation that took place was shoddy. Now this building is a safety hazard within three months.
Sam Nobles spoke on behalf of James Crews, the owner of the property at 218 W. 12th Street/1119 Myrtle
Avenue. Mr. Nobles reported there was a fire in this structure. Mr. Nobles was trying to purchase the structure and Mr.
Crews was staying in the house off and on. The fire damage was contained to the room of origin, but there were some
other problems in the house. Mr. Nobles could not contact the owner to complete the purchase of the property, or to
obtain permission to pull the permits for further work. Mr. Nobles is now in contact with Mr. Crews and would like to
continue working on the house and trying to purchase the house. Mr. Nobles requested to take this back to the Code
Enforcement Board before it is put on the Condemnation List and see if all issues can be resolved to bring this structure
within compliance with the code. Commissioner Willjams moved to condemn the property and withhold the title search
for thirty days in which time the owner is to make repairs/submit a time frame for making repairs, and to give the owner

Public Hearinl~ to consider revocation of Restaurant License and Alcoholic Beverage Consumption on Premises
Reeistration at American West Indian Inn, 1407 W. 13th Street.
Charles Rowe, Community Development Director, reported his department received a telephone call this
evening from the Department of Hotel/Motel Restaurant Management, saying that they will be giving Mr. Spence back his
operating license. He further reported the City Building Division has found ten items that are in violation of the Code.
Only two of those items have been corrected. Mr. Sydney Spence, owner, reported that he is in fact getting his operating
license back, and making what repairs he can. City Attorney Colbert reported that the City's action is not dependant on
the State's action, so whatever the Commission decides is legally appropriate. Commander Bronson reported this location
is where two police cars were almost completely destroyed, and there have been numerous problems with drugs, noise and
arrests. Queen Willjams, a former employee of Mr. Spence, reported all of the repairs on the City's list have been taken
care of, and she is not aware of any drug activity inside his establishment. If drugs were done it was behind their backs,
and they cannot control what goes on outside. Chief Dillard reported that between March, 1997 and April, 1998 there
have been 226 calls at this location including a variety of stabbings, shooting, vandalism, drunkenness, noise, etc.

submitted with the master plan, plus consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and all related documentation thereof,
consistency with adopted development agreements already applicable to the property and availability of services and
facilities to support the proposed development. Also, the rezoning ordinance should stipulate that it shall become
effective after the Department of Community Affairs issues an intent to find the associated comprehensive plan
amendment to be in compliance with state law.
Bill Burkett, Burkett Engineering, 250 North Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida, reported both the City Staff

Mayor Dale reported the Commission would hear from those persons present to speak in favor of, or
opposition to, Ordinance No. 3404. Harry Stewart, personal representative of the Viola Kastner Estate, reported the
Kastner Estate owns property adjacent to this project, to the west. Mr. Stewart reported several concerns and requested: a
two-story maximum height restriction in the first tier of buildings along the western boundary, a 50-foot setback from the
property line adjacent to the Kastner property with a planted ground cover buffer under the trees along that property line, a
permanent wall on the western boundary similar to the wall on 46A, prohibit boating on the lake as a condition of the PD,
a fence from the wall into the lake, and that the developer be required to adopt a Code of Conduct for residents and include
said Code of Conduct in the rental agreements.
Mr. Simmons reported that Section E.2 of the Developer's Agreement signed on March 25 provides that
the developer shall dedicate to the city his riparian right to boating access on East Twin Lake and West Twin Lake and the
residents shall have no right to the lakes for boating. Mr. Devlin agreed to put a restriction on lake access in the lease
agreement. Mayor Dale contimed that Mr. Stewart is asking for a wall, a buffer, and a 50-foot setback.
Dwight Saathoff, Attomey for the Developer, reported that the City's Code requires trees and shrubbery to
be planted in the five-foot wide landscape buffer around the property, which the Developer will comply with, and which
addresses Mr. Stewart's request for a tree and ground cover buffer, and the Developer will agree to all of the conditions
requested by the Viola Kastner Estate except the two-story building height restriction adjacent to the Kastner property, as
one of the buildings must be three stories to make this development economically feasible. The other building will be a
two story building as requested. Also, the wall along 46A was agreed to so that all development along 46A in this area
would be consistent, and there will be a five foot landscape buffer and a pine tree buffer, so there is no need for a wall.
