renaming of 13 Street to Historic Goldsboro Boulevard. Planning and Development
Services Director Russ Gibson said that the effective date of the renaming is June 1; a
ribbon cutting ceremony will be held. Mayor Triplett said that it is something that
Commissioner Williams has worked on for a long time and it's important for the
community and business owners on that street.
Commissioner M said that he attended the Advanced Institute for
Elected Officials; it was really helpful. The art festival was a great event; he commended
all who were involved. The Citizens Advisory Board meeting held last Wednesday was
great. He travelled to Appleton, WI, to talk to people where Interim Chief Myers used to
work; a very good outcome; he gave a slide presentation of his visit.
Commissioner Jones said that his wife's relatives were in town from Spain
and had a positive visit and left with a great impression of Sanford. He wished Happy
Mother's Day to all.
Vice Mayor Mahany said that the art show was really nice and she wants
to do some kind of formal thank you to the St. Johns River Festival of the Arts. During
the art show she had several people comment to her about how nice Sanford's police
officers are. She attended the Tourism and Economic awards luncheon and the Sanford
Airport won an award. The City of Sanford will host the CALNO meeting next
Wednesday.
Commissioner Williams reiterated what she has said to all of the reporters
2012 -184
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES
MAY 14, 2012
REGULAR MEETING
that she has talked with, and that is that the City of Sanford is a friendly City and that
most of the citizens are good people; that the City of Sanford government is not the
problem but there is a systemic problem with one of the departments which has existed
for the sixteen years that she has been a Commissioner. She sees it as a cancer and on
several occasions the head of the cancer has been cut off. Until reality is faced that there
is a systemic problem it won't be solved. She has worked with each Police Chief and
reached out to them and gave 100% support but she has been equally critical about issues
or concerns about inequalities or injustices. She has talked briefly with Chief Myers but
she will reach out to him as she has done with all of the Chiefs. One thing he mentioned
is his philosophy about community policing which is an area about which she has had
concern.
Ai There being no further business, the meetint was adjourne' •t 8:54 PM.
