Mr. C A Maddy, Vice-President of Fellowship Foundation, next appeared with further
reference to request to plat the tract of land lying north of the B.O.Q building at
airport into lots and sub-lease them for the purpose of constructing dwellings thereon,
and submitted the proposed plat, to be designated as Fellowship Park No. 1. He also
submitted a proposed plat of the property described as Block E under the lease agreement,
to be designated as Fellowship Park No. 2, to be used for same purpose.
The City Attorney then advised the Commission that the City as owner of the property
would be required to dedicate the proposed plats in order to conform with the requirements
of state laws providing for the dedication of plats.
Thereupon after careful cor~ideratlon it was felt th8t it would not be for the best
interest of the City to approve and dedicate the proposed plats because it would indicate
that the City was approving the program of Fellowship Foundation to sub-lease %he lots %o
individuals, therefore said dedication and approval were declined.
Ur. H H Coleman, local manager of Florida Power & Light Company next appeared with
refer~ce to application of Fellowship Foundation for an extension of approximately
400 feet of power line at the airport for a new service, which would cost approximately
$125.oo.
Thereupon Mr. Coleman was advised that Fellowship Foundation as Lessee of the property
would be responsible for any cost in connection with said service.

He also requested the Commission to give further considerstion to selling the distribution
system to the Company.
Matter taken under advisement.
Mr. S.A. Allen, operator of Sanford Transit Lines, next appeared and advised that he
would be forced to cease operation of his bus lines because the owner of the buses is
terminating hie lease on them within thirt~ dans. He also submitted a financial statement
showing a net loss of $1,982.24 for past ten months operation. Mr. Allen then stated that
in order to maintain a hue service in Sanford that he would be willing to purchase three
new buses at an approximate cost of $12,000.00, which could be operated at a minimum
maintenance expense, and devote ~ls time free in supervlslr~ its operation, in order that
it be self supporting, but that he would need some financial assistance in securing a
loan to make the initial pa~ment of $4,000.00 on the buses, and requested the City to
endorse or under,trite the initial p~yment.
Matter taken under advisement.
Request next received from Daughters of American Revolution that Fourth Street Park
be set aside for location of Proposed General Sanford Library and ~useum building, and
same ~as referred to the uity AttorneN for legal advice as to use of the park for this
