The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Citizen participation.
Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, reported her assumption that a vote to pfivatize the solid waste
for the City was done as an "Add-on" item during a regular Commission meeting has been confirmed as correct. She feels
these add-ons, the items for general discussion, etc. should be at the beginning of the Commission Meeting so that the
public has a better opportunity to hear what is going on and to respond. Also, she reported she did not receive notice of the
pick up days and fees for the new solid waste service. Ms. Freeman also reported there are barricades around a hole on
Mellonville Avenue where the City is working, and it is hard to get through and it' s dangerous.
Jerry Herman, Public Works Director, reported the City is repaving Mellonville and they are stripping all
the old surfaces off and lowering the drainage areas so that they will be even with the new paving. City Manager
VanDerworp reported that service will remain the same for the new solid waste service. Janet Dougherty, City Clerk,
reported that the vote to privatize was taken as an add-on item. Mayor Dale reported he was not aware the vote was taken
as an add-on because it was done the same day as the contract with FRS was voted on, and the contract issue was a regular
agendized item. He apologized for taking the vote as an add-on item.
Jean Cawelti, 2532 Iroquois, as a representative of the Dreamwold neighborhood watch group, presented
Commissioner Kerry Lyons with a Certificate of Appreciation for all he has done for their neighborhood, the watch group,
and his entire district.
Beatrice Jones reported there needs to be better Lynx service in Sanford: a bus every half hour in each
direction, and bus service to Lake Mary. Mayor Dale directed the City Manager to investigate and work on trying to get
more bus service for Sanford.

Amended contract with Brantley and Associates. Inc. for Legislative Consultant services.
Commissioner Lyons reported he didn't feel Brantley and Associates, Inc. was reporting back to the
Commission on what they have done for the City, and therefore he has not seen any results from the last contract with
them. The only apparent advantage from the contract was help with midge control. Mayor Dale reported that Brantley
and Associates, Inc. do a lot of lobbying for the City that the Commission is not aware of. Commissioner Lyons reported if
that is the case the City needs to have reports or some feedback. City Manager VanDerworp reported that this amended
contract would stipulate that reports be given to the City on a periodic basis. Commissioner Lessard agreed the City needs
to receive reports, but he also felt that we need Brantley and Associates, Inc. to help us lobby at the State level for help
with the sea wall. Commissioner Eckstein reported the increase seems excessive, but the City really needs the service that
Brantley and Associates, Inc. can provide. On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner Eckstein moved to
approve the amended contract with Brantley and Associates, Inc. for Legislative Consultant services. Seconded by

City Manager's report.
City Manager VanDerworp reported he had received a letter from the Sycamore Group, Inc. regarding the
golf course lease. The City sent to Mayfair some months ago a settlement agreement, and never received a response. The
City Commission then decided to proceed with Discovery and a countersuit, or whatever else was necessary, with respect
to the golf course. The letter received from Batty Oxford of the Sycamore Group, Inc. states that he represents the owner
of the golf course, and asks if the City would be agreeable to an acceptable assignment of the existing lease for payment of
$100,000 and dismissal of the lawsuit.
Commissioner Lessard reported the golf course is a taxpayer' s asset and it is the duty of the Commission to
follow through with what it said it was going to do. Mayor Dale reported the City has been sued and has not done anything
to move forward, and he recommends the City hire the firm of Gray, Harris and Robinson and file a counter-suit He
believes the City needs to get outside counsel and take an aggressive stance.
City Attorney Colbert reported there is a hearing this week in which the City is asking the Court to accept
into the Registry of the Court the money that was previously tendered to the City, which is a defensive posture on behalf of
the City, to keep the City from being exposed to a claim for interest on the money. His office has begun drafting
Interrogatofies and a Request to Produce to go forward on Discovery. There'has been discussion within his firm of the
pot~al of bringing in Co~Co~-~!. He ~vas planning on bringing that potential of Co~Counse! to the Commiss~n/n two
weeks. His firm is not opposed to having Co-Counsel in .the case, or to the City bringing in outside Counsel, and his firm
will assist in any way it can and take direction from the City Commission on how it would like to proceed.
Commissioner Eckstein reported the Commission should wait two weeks because a decision like this needs
to be discussed: He is not satisfied with the old lease and would like the lease to be modified for the next buyer. Also, he
does not know if switching law firms at this time is the prudent thing to do. This issue should be discussed at a work shop.
City Manager VanDerworp reported he has spoken with City Attorney Colbert about getting Co-Counsel,
and he was proposing to come back to the Commission with a letter stating Co-Counsel will be used. City Attorney
Colbert reported one reason to consider Co-Counsel is because his firm has been involved with the golf course since the
eighties, and they may get called as potential witnesses in the case, and they cannot prosecute and provide information as
witnesses at the same time. Commissioner Eckstein reported he is not opposed to Co-Counsel, but he would like some
time to decide on a law firm. He would like to talk to Jack Daniels, and look at all the options. City Attorney Colbert
reported his legal recommendation is to come back in two weeks with a definite recommendation concerning either Co-
Counsel or substitute Counsel with the rates and terms of the engagement spelled out. There was a consensus of the
Commission to direct City Attorney Colbert and City Manager VanDerworp to proceed, and come back to the Commission
in two weeks with recommendations.
City Manager VanDerworp reported the Commissioners had each received a copy of the proposed Gateway
Standards for State Road 46. There will be a presentation on this at the next Commission Meeting. It has gone to the
Planning and Zoning Commission for recommendations.
City Manager VanDerworp reported there will be a ground breaking at the Airport Fire Station tomorrow at
10:00. a.m.

City Commissioners' reports.
Commissioner Eckstein - No report.
Commissioner Williams - No report.
Commissioner Lessard - No report.
Commissioner Lyons - Expressed concern over the blight in the 17-92 CRA area regarding billboards.
Another billboard was just erected on 17-92 across from Seminole Community College, and one has been erected between
Longwood and Sanford recently. He suggested the Commissioners each call the County Commissioners and find out why
the County is allowing these billboards to be erected.
Reported Florida Recycling Services has a roll-off where the Holiday Inn Express is being built, which is
inside the City limits. This constitutes a second violation of roll-offs. The City needs to enforce its contract with FRS
regarding compliance in regard to roll-offs.
Mayor Dale thanked the Commission and staff for all of their support and sympathy given on the loss of his
mother. He reported that the County is beginning to look at the problem of magazine racks within the City, and asked staff
where the City was in the process of creating an Ordinance on this issue. Jay Marder, Director of Planning and
Development, reported his department has been reviewing and revising an Ordinance from Winter Park, and has a survey
of the City's news stands, and his department should be providing something to the Commission as early as next month for
consideration..
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
