drive one in Sanford. He said that he has seen others ride in their carts and wants to be
assured that that law will be enforced all the time and that he won't be singled out and
harassed. Mr. Bonaparte said he will communicate to the Police Chief that we expect the
Sanford Police Department to treat all of the people it engages in a consistent fair
manner.
Sherri Wilkie expressed disappointment about receiving a generic reply to
several emails she sent to Mr. Bonaparte. She also said she is deeply concerned about
comments stated on a local radio station quoting the Mayor during a real radio.fm
podcast. She also asked about Interim Police Chief Myers' contract and whether
extension of his contract will come to the Commission for approval. She also inquired
about the City's public records policy. Mr. Bonaparte said that he received about 2,000
emails and did reply generically to acknowledge receipt of the emails, but he welcomes
the opportunity to speak either in person or by phone. Ms. Wilkie said that she will call
his office to set a time to do that. Mayor Triplett said he will listen to the podcast and let
her know about the comments. Assistant City Attorney Groot deferred to Mr. Bonaparte
to answer how the City is administratively processing public records requests. Mr.
Bonaparte said that State law is followed in processing public records requests: receipt is
acknowledged, cost estimate is provided, and requests are processed in the manner in
which they are received. Attorney Groot said that certain documents are exempt or
• confidential. Whenever a request is made every agency in the State of Florida first has to

evaluate the record from those perspectives and if there is that type of information in the
record it must be redacted. Regarding Chief Myers' contract extension, Mr. Bonaparte
said that he was hired as an employee with a contract but it does not have a specific end
date.
Pastor Lowman Oliver expressed concern about the removal of the
Trayvon Martin memorial. There needs to be a revisit of that memorial because of the
emotions that are festering one more time. There are many memorials around this
community and no one has removed them. The rationale for removal does not justify its
•
allowing others to go by and pay their respects where this young boy was killed. We
must thoroughly and meticulously examine things before we make up our minds to do
something when the entire community is volatile and at stake in the process of
restoration. Mr. Bonaparte said it was his decision to remove the memorial after making
sure that representatives of the Trayvon Martin family were contacted and informed that
the City was looking to preserve it and therefore it would be taken to the Sanford
Museum. The family was offered items from the memorial if they wanted to have them
for themselves.
13) CITY COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS.
Commissioner M invited the Commission and the public to attend
III his District 1 town hall meeting scheduled for July 16 from 6:30 — 7:30 PM. He also
gave a slide presentation of happenings in the City.
