Dougberty Absent: Commissioner Whitey Eckstein Commissioner Brady Lessard City Attorney William L. Colbert The Chairman called the meeting to order.

He reported he is the owner of Prager Builders and a long time resident of Sanford. Status of the capital eamDaien of the Zoo, and annreeiation for potable water. Ed Posey, Executive Director of the Central Florida Zoological Park introduced John Williams of Wayne Densch, Inc. and Alesandra Saunders, members of the Board of Directors. He also introduced David Hayes, the Project Manager with Wharton-Smith Construction and Andrea Farmer, staffmember and Fred Antonio, Director of Operations and General Curator. Mr. Posey thanked the Mayor and Commission, and the City, for supplying potable water to the Zoo. In the future they look forward to working with the City on drain fields and a septic system. Mr. Posey reported the Zoo has raised approximately $6 million of a $10.5 million, 15 year expansion and redevelopment plan. This three-phase Master Plan will nearly double the current 300 animal collection, and expand the existing Zoo site from 21 acres to over 40 acres. It will also increase animal conservation programs for endangered species and increase education programming (through the Wayne Densch Environmental Education Complex). Also, a $1 million operational endowment program has been developed to work along with the Capital Campaign, and about 1/10 of those funds have been received. Mr. Posey reported there will be additional restroom facilities provided, and new health care for the animals. Mr. Posey distributed copies of the Central Florida Zoological Park's 2000 Annual Report. David Hayes presented a pictorial view oftbe initial phases of construction at the zoo, which include the entry road, some parking area, infi'astructure that will be needed and the educational complex and exhibitors' space. He reported there will be a 1/4 scale miniature train circling the Zoo that is being installed by a private donor. Future phases will include a quarantine area for animals and a new veterinary center. Mayor Dale reported because of the residential area being developed just east of the Zgo, the City should be able to accommodate the Zoo with sanitary sewer in the very near future. Sanford Housin~ Authority. Ed Blacksheare, Chairman; Tim Hudson, Executive Director; and Robert Walter, the Modernization Coordinator appeared to answer questions that were previously asked by the Mayor and City Commission. They provided to the Commission an Account Reconciliation spreadsheet that provides for reconciliation of $801,000. This spreadsheet was provided to HUD in Jacksonville during an audit over the past three weeks. The Commission asked several questions regarding specific expenditures and employees and received satisfactory answers. HUD in Jacksonville just completed a Management Review and Audit of the Sanford Housing Authority, and the results should be forthcoming. Commissioner Williams asked Mr. Hudson if he or his wife owned the Cosmetology School or the Child Care E00014148 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida 20 Ol Center. Mr. Hudson reported neither he nor his wife own the Cosmetology School or the Child Care Center. Commissioner Williams also asked Mr. Hudson if the company that Mr. Hudson owns was ever paid by the Housing Authority for any kind of work or services, or was any of the $801,000 utilized to benefit his company in any way. Mr. Hudson reported no, his company has not received any of the funds. Mr. Blacksheare distributed copies of three original applications of the Housing Authority for Comprehensive Grant Program funding, with supporting documents. He reported that the Sanford Housing Authority had received excellent "Report Cards" since 1996, and he didn't anticipate the forthcoming report to be that much different. Mr. Blacksheare reported that he and Mr. Hudson are equal partners in a company called Savvy, and they may develop a strip mall together. Mayor Dale asked Mr. Blacksbeare if he evaluated Mr. Hudson and he reported he did. Mayor Dale reported he would have a hard time evaluating someone whom he was partnered with on another venture, it might be seen as a conflict by some people. Mayor Dale reported he would rather Mr. Blacksbeare and Mr. Hudson not have a business together. Mr. Blacksheare, in response to a question fom the Mayor, discussed a situation between Mr. Hudson and Seminole County, and stated that Seminole County officials reported that this was a situation that any citizen could have applied for, it was done in accordance with the rules, regulations and stipulations except one factor, that he was not a low income home buyer. Mr. Blacksheare reported he was told ffthat factor was corrected the issue would be solved. He further reported that the current owners have stipulated by way of certification that they are actively seeking qualified, low income individuals to sell those homes to, which at the present time are being rented. Mayor Dale asked if anything came through the Sanford Housing Authority that benefited the buyer of Mr. Biacksheare's property. Mr. Blacksbeare reported nothing mom than any other private landlord who has property he wishes to put up for Section VIII or TBRA; they are put on a list and if someone is interested they contact the landlord and then the Section VIII Department would get involved. Mayor Dale reported the county told him about the same thing that Mr. Blacksheare reported, that there was a violation if it was not sold to a low income buyer, and that could be resolved. Mr. Hudson reported it is in the process of being resolved, the county has received a certification from the owners that they are putting the homes up for sale for two very low income individuals. Mayor Dale asked if they were going to use S.H.I.P. fimds to do that. Mr. Hudson reported yes, as well as down payment assistance. Commissioner Jones asked how all this came about, and Mayor Dale reported that Mr. Hudson has a company by the name ofTDH & Associates which received a grant through Buddy Balagia, who handles S.H.I.P funds and Block Grants, to buy some lots and build as many as eight houses. Mr. Hudson reported the $65,000 was to be expended on purchasing the lots, doing demolition, and doing some inflll, but the actual cost of construction was handled by him and his wife as the owners. Mayor Dale reported it is his understanding that Mr. Hudson tried to rent the homes, but the county told him he had to sell them. Commissioner Williams asked if Mr. Hudson was sure he didn't take any money out of the $800,000 to purchase those homes. Mr. Hudson reported, no, the only thing he receives from the Housing Authority personally is his salary. Mayor Dale asked Mr. Biacksbeare if he had anything to do with TDH & Associates. Mr. Biacksbeare answered, "no". Mayor Dale asked if Mr. Blacksheare, or anyone on the Sanford Housing Authority Board, had anything to do with building those houses. Mr. Blacksheare answered, "no". Mr. Hudson reported that his wife is handling the correction of MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida WORK SESSION FEBRUARY 26 . the violation with the county. Mayor Dale asked Mr. Blacksheare about investments, and Mr. Blacksheare reported HUD from Jacksonville looked at the investments during the audit and it will be included in their report. Mr. Blacksheare read two statements from their auditors, Greene, Dycus & Co., stating "the audit did not disclose any audit findings which are required to be reported regarding management and budget" and "during the audit nothing came to the auditors' attention to indicate that the Authority had not complied with laws, rules and regulations, had any illegal or improper expenditures, or had other matters requiring correction which may or may not materially affect the financial statement, other than as mentioned in this management letter." Commissioner Williams reported she has a copy of a request that was made by the Orlando Sentinel about some personnel folders of former employees, and she remembers reading in the paper that some of the files they were requesting were missing, and they were going to file a law suit. She asked why the paper was asking the Housing Authority for the personnel files of Eric Williams (Commissioner Williams' son) and her. Mr. Hudson reported he did not know why that request was made, and that neither Eric Williams nor Commissioner Williams has not been an employee of the Sanford Housing Authority since he has been there, and have not been paid. Mayor Dale reported it appears to him there has been no criminal activity on the part of the San_ford Housing Authority, or any activity or attempt to defraud or divert money. [Commissioner Williams left the meeting briefly and returned.] Annual audit for the city of Sanford~ William Royster and Roger Bowen of Greene, Dycus & Co., P.A., and Tom Riley, Consultant from Holland and Riley, appeared to review the City of Sanford Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended September 30, 2000. Mr. Riley reported the City received over $3.2 million in Federal Grants in the past year, and the conclusions were that there were no major weaknesses in internal control, and no major compliance violations. The report on compliance was unqualified. Mr. Bowen distributed and discussed an overview of the Financial Statement reporting the General Fund Revenues increased about 4 million dollars, with a 6 ½% increase in ad valorem taxes (almost $.5 million dollars). Mr. VanDerworp reported the increase in ad valorem taxes was in tax base, not tax rate, the rate went down. Mr. Bowen reported every item in the General Fund Revenues was over budget this year, except for contributions which were $4,300 under budget. Additionally, expenditures were 13% under budget (about $3.5 million). The cash position of the City increased $4.5 million dollars, or 34%. Annual audit for Sanford Airport Authority_. Eldon McDirmit of McDirmit, Davis, Puckett & Company, P.A. and Kelly Leafy, the Audit Manager, and Bryant W. Garrett, Director of Finance & Administration, appeared to present the Sanford Airport Authority Financial Statements for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. Mr. McDirmit reported the auditors issued an unqualified opinion to the Airport Authority for this year, which is the best opinion they can issue. He reviewed the balance sheet, stating there has been an increase of about 25 million dollars in assets over the prior year, about $3 million in cash and the remainder in construction and progress (equipment). The liabilities have increased about $11.7 milh'on and contributed capital has increased about $13.2 million. Operating Revenue has increased about $1 million over the prior year, and MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida WOI~K gl~glf~N I~I~RRIlAR¥ ~6 20 O! Operating Expenses declined about $300,000. Mayor Dale reported that property and equipment are carried at cost under FAA accounting rules. The Financial Statement shows the 2000 acres of Airport land is valued at $2,314,381, but in reality it is worth about $60 million. The Airport is worth around 250 million dollars, not $57,625,240 as reflected on the Financial Statements. Mr. McDirmit reported the Authority is in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations and also their internal controls. The auditors found no material weaknesses or reportable conditions that need to be made known to the City. Recommendations for improvements to internal control, which the Commission received about a month ago, include: a reminder that there has been a change in Florida Statutes regarding investment policies and there needs to be an investment policy in place by fiscal year 2001; there is a need to begin reconciling some of the balance sheet items and some oftbe subsidiary ledgers, specifically accounts receivable and some of the grants (this is already being put in place); and create an accounting procedures policy manual outlining policies related to purchasing and disbursements. Mayor Dale reported that he and Mr. Garrett have met and they understand where the weaknesses are, and they know they need to be corrected and have already started working on them. One oftbe things that they are working on is putting money into reserves because there is no reserve account right now. Goldsboro/Geontetown Master Plans and FY 01/02 CDBG projects. Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, reported the Master Plans submitted to the Commission are a map to be used to guide the community leaders and City officials in allocating resources. He stressed that the project costs and regulatory issues such as permitting requirements and size often times slow the project or prolong the process. A series of meetings were held in both Goldsboro and Georgetown to evaluate their communities' public facilities, public services, employment opportunities, well maintained housing and strong community organizations. A list of needs and potential projects that are both CDBG possible and non-CDBG eligible projects was created. Mr. Rowe reviewed the projects that are suggested for the March 1st submission for Community Development Block Grant participation. Two projects that are being proposed for the Goldsboro area which are not listed in the information given to the Commission are the Mulberry Avenue extension project extending Mulberry Avenue to Country Club Road with grade A asphalt. Also, Mulberry Avenue between 14th Street and 18th Street is currently in the process of tbe ditch closure, and it is proposed to be paved with grade A or grade B asphalt at $130,000, or using cold mix which would be $30,000. Mr. Rowe asked for direction from the Commission on this proposed project. One recommendation that would benefit both Goldsboro and Georgetown would be to hire a code enforcement officer for each of those neighborhoods. Commissioner Williams reported possibly a Code Enforcement Committee of volunteers from the neighborhood would be helpful. Also, she would like to have the homework assistance program included for the Goldsboro area, as well as the Georgetown area. She also would like improvements to Bentley Park be included for grant funds. City Manager VanDerworp reported the projects included in the Master Plan will be submitted to the County this week. Mayor Dale reported he has been working very hard on the Front Porch Program, and the Governor will be making a decision on that this week.

Mayor-Commissioner Larry A. Dale Commissioner Whitey Eckstein Commissioner Velma H. Williams Commissioner Brady Lessard Commissioner Randy Jones City Attorney William L. Colbert City Manager Anthony VanDerworp City Clerk Janet R. Dougherty The Chairman called the meeting to order. Roger Dixon, Deputy City Manager, reported the City received an award from Seminole Hope on February 17, 2001. This award was given to the City of Sanford to recognize and in appreciation of its commitment to improving the quality of life for residents of Seminole County. Mr. Dixon reported that Seminole Hope is sponsored by the Grove Counseling Center. Mayor Dale accepted the award on behalf of the City and reported it will be displayed in a prominent place. Citizen participation out about Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, asked if anything was ever found the tow-away zone on the street right-of-way on Palmetto Avenue. City work. Jerry Herman, Public Works Director, reported the contractor started about two weeks ago, has completed about ten installations, and is moving forward. The Manager VanDerworp reported he is working on this issue, and it may involve a prior use agreement, but he is not prepared to report on it at this time. Ms. Freeman asked if the city has gotten any confirmation from the School Board regarding stadium parking. Mayor Dale reported the city is negotiating to swap some property for some parking area, and an environmental study has been done, and the city will be meeting with the School Board on this issue on March 20, 2001. Ms. Freeman reported the Commission should consider holding its Work Sessions in the City Commission Chambers instead of in the conference room on the second floor, because there is much more room for the public. Ms. Freeman asked if funds of Bryant Adams which were donated to charity, and if the City had any documentation of those donations. Mayor Dale reported that is some the Jaycees are handling, and they will be reporting to the Commission on their findings. Ms. Freeman asked if there was another typographical error on the agenda under Ordinance No. 3620, because it states, as it did on the last agenda, that the City of Sanford is the applicant. At the last meeting Mayor Dale reported it was an error, that the City of Sanford is not the applicant. Mayor Dale reported he made a mistake at the last meeting; the City of Sanford is the applicant because it is in violation of the Code that stipulates no double frontage lots. Monarcha Marcett, 801 South Park Avenue, asked for an update on sidewalk EPNllI072 MINUTES REGULAR MEETING City Commission, Sanford, Florida FEBRUARY 26 · 2001 contractor has almost completed the give him another one. Ms. Marcett reported she was told by street repair priority list was being prepared, first Work Directive, and the City is ready to Chuck Hargrove last August that a similar to the list for sidewalks, and it would be a five-year plan, and she asked if that list had ever been presented to the Commission. Mayor Dale reported the Commission has been presented a proposed list for prioritization. Mr. Herman reported a survey has been done by an outside consultant and the priority list should be completed by Spring. Ms. Marcett asked if the quotes have been gotten yet for the thermal method of asphalt removal, and where does the Commission stand on that issue. Mr. Herman reported it would cost almost the same to totally rebuild the base and replace the bricks. Mayor Dale reported the Commission has taken no further action on that item. Ms. Marcett reported Alex Then, who lives in the historic district, should be commended for picking up and disposing of trash that was not his but was left along the side of the road. She reported she wondered how this pride could be instilled throughout the city. Ms. Marcett reported she brought up the issue of a Teen Study and a program similar to what Orange County has to the Parks Department, and she asked if anyone was able to contact Orange County for more information on how to start a program in Sanford for teens. Mike Kirby, Recreation and Parks Director, reported he has been trying to contact the person in Orange County that is in charge of the program but has not received a call back from them. Commissioner Eckstein reported he would like to endorse Drs. Quinn and Schefsky for continued Physicians Services, because they can save the City a lot of money and they are honest and forthright. City Manager VanDerworp reported that he would like to add to the motion for payment of the FRS invoice that the savings be passed on to the employees immediately instead of at a later date. City Manager VanDerworp reported he has recommended denial of use of the property across 17-92 from Sanford Middle School for the L. E. Barnes Circus, because of parking issues and its close proximity to residential areas. Mayor Dale reported that issue will be removed from the consent agenda and voted on separately. Commissioner Eckstein moved to approve consent items one through nine, with the exception of seven (the L. E. Barnes Circus request), and including that the savings on the FRS invoice be paid to the employees immediately. Seconded by Commissioner Lessard. Commissioner Jones questioned the C.O.L.A. that was included in the renewal for Physicians Services, and asked if the City employees were receiving a C.O.L.A. City Manager VanDerworp reported no, the City employees were not receiving a 20_ EPNIII072 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 2~ i001 20__ C.O.L.A., but it is not unusual for a contract like this, over a period of time, to include a C.O.L.A. Commissioner Jones reported he does not understand how this can be included in the contract when no other contractors nor City employees are receiving it. Commissioner Eckstein reported the cost of doing business, insurance costs, etc. increase for these doctors, and they can save the City money. The Commission voted on the motion as follows: Mayor-Commissioner Dale Commissioner Eckstein Commissioner Williams Commissioner Lessard Commissioner Jones City Manager VanDerworp reported the City had Aye Aye Aye Aye Nay received a request from L. E. Barnes Circus to hold a circus on the property on 17-92, and they expect about one thousand visitors. He is recommending denial because of the proximity to single family homes that are adjacent to the site on at least two sides, and that is a noise issue, and also because of the parking issues. John Haul, the Director of the L. E. Barnes Circus reported the circus is based in DeLand, is all new, with new equipment, and the owner lives in DeLand. He reported the circus will donate $1,000 to the Stadium Renovation Fund from its first performance. Mayor Dale asked if Mr. Paul would consider holding the circus at another location in Sanford, possibly along SR46 where it would not be so close to residential areas and there would be ample parking. Tom Ball, who owns property along SR46, reported he would talk with Mr. Paul and see if they could come to a mutual agreement for the use of his property for the circus. Mr. Paul agreed to talk with Mr. Ball. Commissioner Eckstein moved to deny the request to use the property on 17- 92.
