The Chairman announced that the Commission would hear from those persons present
to speak in favor of, or in opposition to, the proposed alley closing.
The City Clerk reported Notices had sent to owners within the block on April 9,
1987.
Harris Turner, attorney, representing the owners of Lot 22, appeared to oppose
said alley closing, and reported while Lot 22 is undeveloped, should it be developed the
alley would be needed to service that lot. Closing of the alley would take away from the
access for utility service, and would create a "taking without compensation".
Pierre A. Leveque, Jr., owner and petitioner, appeared to support the request, and
reported a number of burglaries in the neighbor effecting him personally and his tenants.
His objective in closing the alley was to install a fence to prohibit unauthorized entry
into the alley.
Commissioner Mercer moved to deny closing, vacating and abandoning said alley, and
to grant a license, cancellable upon thirty (30) days notice to allow a conditional use for
a temporary North/South chain-type fence to be erected across the alley adjoining Lot 1 and

April 22, 1987
TO:
City ManaGer
FROM:
Police Chief
SUBJECT: Acquisition of Additional Radio Frequency
ThrouGhout its existence, the Sanford Police Department has operated
with a simplex (sinGle channel) radio communications system. We have
done the best we can to safely function with a single channel as
Growth within the community and department has occurred. Our primary
channel is now very crowded. We have reached out limit and relief is
needed.
Currently, durinG emergency situations, or system failure, the Sanford
Police Department is forced to operate on what is known as the inter-
city channel. This is a channel that is shared by all Central Florida
law enforcement agencies. The inter-city channel is reserved for
inter-departmental communications and emergency situations that
require coordination between law enforcement agencies. Needless to
say, this channel has also become very crowded with radio
communications traffic. The other agencies have been tolerant of our
emergency use of the inter-city channel. However, our utilization
extends beyond the appropriate use of this channel.
One of the obstacles that has prevented channel expansion in the past
is the lack of available frequencies that can be assigned by the
F.C.C. I believe that we have overcome this obstacle. A few years
back, the Sanford Fire Department acquired two (2) new radio
frequencies in addition of the mutual aid channel they had. The fire
department now has three (3) channels. One of the fire department
channels is infrequently used. The fire chief has Graciously agreed
to share this available channel with the police department.
MINUTES
City Commission, Sanford, Florida
April 27,

Allowing police use of the fire channel is necessary because:
Police used a back-up channel to use during emergency situations
and/or primary channel system failure.
Police need an administrative talk around channel to conduct
general police business thereby reserving the primary channel
for emergency police calls and priority communications.
Police need the capability of a stake-out/surveillance channel
that would not interfere with other required police operations.
Police and fire departments need inter-departmental radio
communications during major disasters where both departments
share common responsibility.
The cost to retrofit the police mobile radios with the new channel and
to install a base radio at the police emergency communications center
is $13,701. This type of expenditure is exactly why the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund (assets from drug and crime seizures) was
created. The fund has a more than adequate balance to cover the cost
of the radio system modification. No monies will be required from the
General Fund. I recommend that the radio system enhancement be paid
for out of the Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
I respectfully request that the City Manager and City Commission
approve this request in the interest of efficiency and officer safety.
On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner Thomas moved to approve the
installation of a base radio and retrofitting of police mobile radios, and to authorize
payment of $13,701 from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund for same. Seconded by Commissioner
Eckstein and carried by the vote of the Commission as follows:

Staff reviewed the alternatives to difference on'woods
presented and recommened the rustic redwood from C & W Unlimited
because the redwood is a hard, weather resistant, insect resis~an~
and survives much longer in ~he ground. The life of redwood is
indefinite. The City of Sanford s experience is good with redwood

BACKGROUND:
Retirees over Age 65.
A group of retirees met with me on April 20, 1987, for the
purpose of sharing their concerns with the City's current
health plans. Their main concern was that they are not at
present furnished with the same insurance as regular
employees, as is presently mandated by FS 112.0801. See
attached letters.
The City currently offers two health plans to its employees:
Health Options. This HMO offers identical coverage for
both current and retired employees, regardless of age,
thus meeting the requirements of FS 112.0801.
Florida MunicipaHealth Trust (FMHT). The City has
utilized this "major medical 80-20" plan for several
years. Comparison coverages are listed as follows:
"Active" employees and retirees under 65 - Major
Medical "80-20" Plan, stipulated $1,000,000 life-
time maximum.
MINUTES
City CommiSSion, Sanford, Florida
April 27,
339
19 87
Retirees over 65 - "Medicare Supplement" Plan,
stipulated $10,000 lifetime maximum.
As can be readily seen, coverages are inconsistant between
the groups listed above . . . and FS 112.0801 is designed to
provide consistent coverages for all employee groups.
While we are hopeful that Florida Municipal Health Trust
will provide identical health plans for both current and
retired employees as mandated in FS 112.0801, we recommend
going to bid for health plans to include identical coverage
for both groups and enable the City to comply with the State
Statute requirements.
The Mayor recommended the City offer the same benefits to the retirees as offered
to employees and the City pay for benefits for the retirees as the City does for employees.
Pete Knowles, representing the City's retirees, appeared to discuss the requests
of the retirees as follows:
That the retirees are furnished the same insurance as regular employees,
including prescription drugs which is in their policy.
The retirees are requesting the City to pay for same insurance benefits
as regular employees.
On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner Eckstein moved to authorize
staff to get proposals for two (2) new health plans, and to identify costs.

additions do not change the intent of the program adopted by the
Planning and Zoning Commission and are incorporated into the attached
materials.
It should be noted that numerous activities have been and continue to
be undertaken by staff to implement the intent and purpose of public
participation in the planning process. Highlights of such activities
are as follows:
Distribution of 1987. Planning Program Handbook to agencies
and organizations identified in Public Participation
Program.
Presentation of City's Planning Program to Seminole County's
North Central Plan Update Study Committee plus transmittal
of 4 sets of City maps, as requested.
Draft article for City newsletter to be included in next
issue.
Recommend that Mayor and City Commission adopt Public Participation
Program and Procedures as required by Florida Statutes and Florida

The Commission directed the City Attorney to prepare a resolution expressing the
City's sincere appreciation and pride for the emergency services performed by the Police and
Fire Departments regarding the recent drowning death of a Sanford youngster.
The City .Attorney reported the City had received this date from Great Southern
Federal Savings Bank a certified letter concerning the Holiday Inn lease with the City of
Sanford. In 1967 the City leased the property for the construction and long-term lease of
the Holiday Inn. There was a sub-ordination agreement contained in the original 1967 lease
which basically sub-ordinated the lease to the improvements which were placed on the City
land. There was additional construction in 1985 which resulted in additional buildings,
again the City was approached, and in order to allow the improvements~to be placed on the
property, agreed to sub-ordinate the lease to a mortgage to be loaned for the imprOvement.
The letter received today indicates that the those mortgage payments are'~in arrears and is
placing both the mortgage holder and the City on notice that the payment is in arrears. The
leaseholder still has the opportunity for the remainder of a 30-day period, which began on
April 23, to pay it. The City under that sub-ordination agreement also has some rights, and
in order to protect the rights of the City, the City Attorney recommended the following:
Since the City has received the notice, which puts the City on notice of the non-payment of
the mortgage, the City Commission to declare, on that basis, that the mortgage to be in
default and to authorize a letter to be written the leaseholder demanding that they cure the
default within the 30-day period. If it is not done within that time, the City would have
the option of making the payment and cancelling the lease.
Commissioner Mercer moved to authorize same.
