and spoke to the Commission as to their reaction in a possible business endeavor for the
Industrial Park in that James Blythe, formerly owning the Blythe Transportation Truck Line
on Highway 17-92, had shown an interest in the park property for a potential truck refrig-
eration service with a possibility of a cold storage warehouse.
A preliminary discussion was held by the Commission on the feasibility of this
particular type of heavy truck traffic generating in this'area. Commissioner Baker recom-
mended that consideration be given to the possibility of use by this potential firm in the
tiback area of the park, which probably is presently the City's tree stump dump and located
north of First Street and Poplar Avenue, behind Sanford Manufacturing Company in the area
south of the City's sewage treatment plant. This area could be back lots of the Industrial
Park platted as 7, 8 or 9, or not in the Industrial Park plat.
The Commission instructed Mr. Crumley that the Industrial Park Board members further
i]pursue as to Hr. Blythe's specific plans and details and to advise him of the area that would
?be receptive for fu2ther consideration by the Commission, reporting back to the Commission
Ion their findings.
With regards to further interest by the Commission, the City Manager presented a
memorandum relative to respective costs of extending a 12-inch water main on the east side
of Highway 17-92 to Alix of Miami, as previously discussed and authorized under certain

a further extension of this same line to tie in the Sunland Estates water system, privately
owned by J. Brailey Odham, at an estimated material cost of $33,5~6.~2.

~iavailable to the City at a price of $120,000.00. Futher figures on the system presented
were $2,884.00 in escrow for customers meter deposits, plus an estimated amount of $9,168.17
isewer service charge collections owing to the City for furnishing of sewer service to Sunland,
with Mr. Odham requesting consideration that the City allow him a 6-month note in the amount
?f $8,000.00 in which to facilitate his clearing the bank note of the system, the meter
i!deposits monies and payment of the past due monthly sewer charges against the system.
Commissioner Higginbotham moved on approval for the City of Sanford to purchase
!the Sunland Estates water system from J. Brailey odham on the following basis:
