REGULAR MEETING
11) CITY MANAGER'S REPORT.
Mr. Bonaparte said that this afternoon he met with a group of students
who had walked from Daytona Beach to Sanford. He respects their dedication to
showing concerns for what is happening with the Trayvon Martin case. He agreed as a
City to participate in a meeting that will be set up by the community for next Thursday,
April 19, at 6:30; the location has not been set. The purpose of the meeting is to engage
the Sanford community in looking at healing; how do we move forward beyond the
current events. He said he will keep the Commission abreast of information.
12) CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
The following individuals spoke in support of Police Chief Lee and his
reinstatement: Joshua Fisher, Jason Kratzwr, Sabrina McClellan, Miles Miller, Gordon
Pleasants, and CJ Blancett.
The following individuals spoke regarding Trayvon Martin: James Davis,
John D. Pace, Jr., Chris Jackson, Cobbin McGee, and Lowman Oliver.
13) CITY COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS.
Commissioner Jones said that his heart really goes out to Trayvon
Martin's parents. The most troubling thing is that a 17 year old kid is dead and the
parents haven't had solace yet. There are those who disagree with his position of no
confidence but Mr. Bonaparte is a "55 mile an hour" kind of guy and he stands with him

on that. The wheels of justice are going to move at 55 mph and any deviation from the
rule, policy and procedure of law becomes problematic; once something is in the process
it stays in that process. It is slow and painful but as we move through this it is important
that we put aside what we want and how we think it should be and how it should go. He
offered condolence to Trayvon's parents.
Commissioner M said that he wanted to be at the meeting at the
Civic Center but couldn't. He believes that adversity and problems sometimes are
something that you need to embrace. There are reasons for why Sanford is going through
things and believes that we're going to become stronger as a result of it. He appreciates
Chief Lee for recognizing on his own to step aside so that he was not a hindrance to what
was going on. That doesn't mean that our Police Department has a no confidence,
because we've got the best trained employees. He asked that Chief Lee resign and let's
move forward.
Mayor Triplett said that he appreciates everybody coming out; the
Commission is open to listen and wants to hear all sides of the comments. Mr. Groot said
something to him that absolutely goes to the line of exactly where we are sitting right
now — the Scripture says blessed be the peace maker, and I hope the good Lord is
watching all of us.
