12) CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
Charlotte Smith said that she attended one of the events at the church and
continues to hear that we have problems. We need to get to the stage of what can we do
about it instead of hashing and rehashing that we have problems. On a local TV station
tonight there was mention about a group that is doing things and it was implied that it is a
group put together by the City to do something. She would hope that if there is a City
authorized group that the members of that group and what their charge is would be made
known to the City. She knows there is a group of ministers who are doing things in a
prayerful way. Mayor Triplett said there is a community visioning group that has been

a quarterly basis; the next meeting is tentatively set for January 2013.

Commissioners regarding a request that "The Trayvon Martin Memorial" artifacts placed
in the Sanford Museum be given back to the original Trayvon Memorial Committee
organized on March 14, 2012, for them to be erected at the newly opened Goldsboro
Welcome Center in the Historic Goldsboro District. She left the meeting early and didn't

Commissioner a copy of the memorandum. He suggested that the City Manager get with
Ms. Oliver to verify that is what she is requesting. (Commissioner Jones provided his
copy of the memorandum to the City Clerk.)
Commissioner M said that next month the elections will be over and
we could possibly have a lot of new people in office and we have to learn how to work
together to do the best job we can do based on what happens. God puts people in control
and takes them out of control. He got his influenza shot at the Care Center today. He is
excited about the future of Sanford and where we are going.
Mayor Triplett said that he spent three days in the hospital last week and
relied on God and talked with the man upstairs.
There being no further business, the meeting .. adjourned at 9:15 PM.
