For the Record
Good evening:
1. I object to the Per Capita City Expenditures (see attachment 1). Eliminating the
high and low extreme, Sanford is first in every category of expenditures except
sewage treatment. Just looking at this City Hall which is an architecture,s
delight but an effeciency expert's nightmare may explain some of our problem.
2. Under the Police Department although we have the highest budget we have almost
the lowest Officers per 1,0OO people. It appears we should have at least two
Officers per 1,000 people.
3. I object to the fact that the Hidden Iake Recreation Area has been igno~ even
though the need is clearly visible° Some imorovements with the money given to the
city by Dave Meadows, developer of Bamblewo~d, could be made to the Park this year
and later improvements placed on the Capital Budget.
4o I object to the removal of may items on the Canital Budget estfm~ted for the next
five years (see attachment 2). We must have Capital improvements and if they cannot
be financed through usual means because of say the passag~ of Proposition 1, then
other means must be found such as Bond issues, State and Federal assistance, fees
and etc. Longwood has a bond issue on the December 6th ballott
5. Funds should be allocated for personnel and grass cutting machinery under Public
Works to maintain city owned right-of-ways and six feet of grass along streets by
undeveloped areas. Extra ~nds will be available under the gasoline tax.
6. A 3~% raise for City employees is not adequate when the cost of living has increased
about 7% in the Sanford area. The only exception would be the City Manager, whose
total salary for a city of 24,000 appears extremely adequate.
7. Anticipated revenue to be more realistic, I believe, should be decreased 6% for
Cigarette Tax and 2% for State Revenue Sharing.
8. I approve increasing the connection fees for water and~e~er to create a trust fund
but the City Manager told the Commissioners at last years budget hearing that it
would slow growth in the city. As Penna. found out the best way to encourage
development is to tax undeveloped land at a higher rate than developed land. Farm
land is not undeveloped land.
9. The taxable base was increased 1~.6 million by higher assessments and
· new development. While only about 1/3 of the budget income comes from property"
and sales taxes, which are deductible on our Income Tax, the other 2/3 are mostly
hidden, sneaky charges. Therefore, say your property tax, 1/5 of the budget, is
$300. a year~ you are actually paying $1500. a year to support "City Hall" (total
expenditures).

Connection and Control Charges as follows:

August 29, 1983
MEMORANDUM
To:
From:
Sanford City Commission
City Manager
Sanford City Code, Sections 28-43 through 28-45, impose the water, sewer and
drainage connection and control charge. It is proposed to amend ~hese sections to
a "utility connection charge" and to update the amount of this charge to reflect
current costs and the proposed "off development site" utility improvements that
are needed to handle the grow~ch of the utility systems. This is for capacity changes
that growth will require and for which growth will be charged.
Note this does not reflect added capital costs due to changes in state regu-
lations requiring modifications of the plants or the disposal methods. This type
of added cost would be a burden for all customers and not new growth customers only.
Revenue for meeting costs imposed by the state regulations would be generated by
rate adjustments across the board for all customers.
A second observation affecting the level of charges is that new growth under
the contract services is not paying these fees although they are using up the capacity.
Therefore, the total cost of capacity growth is paid only by the customers inside
the city limits and these are paying at a higher rate to cover those under contract
services who do not pay the city.
The City presently has a policy of not providing water or sewer unless the
property is inside the city. The costs are projected on that policy continuing.
Restricting outside use will become more meaningful to city residents in the
years ahead as the utility capacity is reserved for only the city residents.
Increased costs of construction, equipment, electricity, and operations are going
to become considerably higher than we now know them. It will be beneficial to
have utility capacity reserved for city residents and these utility services will
become a very major cost increment of all new construction; 10 and 20 years ahead.
Areas without established utility systems will become very expensive to develop
and this development expense is always passed to the buyer.
On March 27, 1972, the City of Sanford established its connection fee at $550.00
for water, sewage, and drainage expenses off-site. The fee has not been increased

connection fee.
A current staff study has been d~ne of the projected population for the Sanford
utilities to service. This information is also attached.
The "growth portion" of a new connection is recommended for water and sewer
at $1,485.00 for a residential dwelling unit. For non-residential units, the City's
method of computation is recommended to be on a fixture unit count.

The new connection fee that will cover the utility costs attributed to growth
are outlined on the attached information sheets showing the work and the current
costs. These are the details from which the numerical cost figures were computed

Tap costs include meter, fittings, and the actual connection costs to the

The connection fee shall include the cost of the sewer tap when a sewer connection
is made. This shall cover all labor, equipment, and materials; when made by the City
forces. If the contractor or others provide all costs and install the sewer service
under the supervision and/or inspection of the City personnel, this shall not be
charged. The sewer tap shall be $260.00; based on the 1981-82 Annual Report figures
that show actual costs were $258.77.
A water or a sewer tap, that requires any street cut of the pavement, an additional
charge of $250.00 should be added for each "street cut".
Attached is a summary detailing the need for a change of the account deposits.
The pre'sent level of deposits does not cover the losses inourred on bad accounts.
The new deposit level is recc~unended to be $50.00 for all new accounts.
