WORK SESSION
Senior Project Manager Andrew Thomas said that the Alliance held its first
meeting on May 10 at Calvary Temple where about fifty ministers attended. Since that time
they have identified co- chairs of groups and changed the name to Sanford Pastors
Connecting. The first proposed activity is a mass prayer on July 31 at the Police Department
from noon to 1 PM. They are discussing activities which include pulpit swap, prayer
breakfasts and lunches, dialogue on race, and monitoring of the trial. The Sheriff made
arrangements for ten of the ministers to have reserved seating at each of the court
appearances so they can stay in the loop and understand what is going on and bring
information back to the community. The group will meet again for a prayer breakfast on July
2.
Mr. Thomas said the anti violence campaign group will meet on June 28 to
begin discussions about crime related activity and the best practices to address it.

Work continues on the homeless situation; there are new faces coming into the County
and organizations receiving them are stepping up efforts to identify the trail that leads
them to Sanford.
Vice Mayor Mahany said that we need to move forward with the pan
handling ordinance. She asked Mr. Bonaparte to ask Interim Chief Myers to take a look
at it thoroughly and work with the City Attorney to make sure that it is enforceable.
Commissioner M said that he will hold a town hall meeting for
District 1 on July 16 and invited Interim Chief Myers to attend and share ideas.
Mr. Bonaparte said the City is looking to put together a citizen's academy
so that citizens can have an opportunity to learn more about how government works.
Another initiative is a speaker's bureau where resident groups can request City
participation for presentation of topics in order to better understand government;
presentations will be given primarily by management Staff. He thanked Lisa Mosca for
writing an article about the City which is published every other Saturday in the Herald.
All of these are part of an ongoing effort of reaching out to the community.
