Tim Crobons, Planning Manager, LYNX, was present. Rob Greg, Director of Planning, LYNX, presented a slide show and reviewed the Final Report of the Sanford/North Seminole Intermodal Facility Study dated June, 1996, including recommendations which need immediate action: 1) Identify bus stop locations, 2) review process for infrastructure coordination, 3) begin a park-and-ride program, and 4) implement express bus service amenities. Mr. Greg stated that Lynx has submitted a $600,000.00 matching grant application to the Florida Department of Transportation, for a dowr~town Sanford transit center. The Commission concurred with the Study's findings and recommendations as presented and discussed. Public Works Items. A. Solid Waste. Public Works Director Jerry Herman distributed and reviewed solid waste alternatives, as described in memorandum dated August 26, 1996, with %3 being the preferred alternative, however, there is not sufficient revenue to implement same without a rate increase of approximately $1.14. Commissioner Lyons proposed implementation of a pilot study, for a period of one (1) year, in which a quadrant of the City; not by political boundaries, receives solid waste pick-up once a week by City crews, privatization of another quadrant, with the remaining 50% receiving the current level and type of service. Commissioner Eckstein suggested a solid waste summit. Commissioner Howell reported that he requested information regarding solid waste pick-up once a week at the last meeting, which was not provided, and requested said information again. After discussion, the Commission concurred to further discuss solid waste at a Special Work Session on September 9, 1996, at 4:00 o'clock P.M., with Staff to provide equipment needs and costs associated with Alternative 93 (expanded level of service). (Commissioner Thomas briefly left the meeting, then returned.) B. Improving lights in Historic District. Commissioner HOwell reported that the Historic District Neighborhood Watch has conducted a study regarding light improvements downtown, and that five (5) members of the group would like to present their recommendations to the Commission at the next Work Session.

The City Manager recommended that the Commission consider retrofitting additional lights to a 200 watt size, and to ask the neighborhood residents for their input regarding same. Further, Staff is working on a City-wide census of where lights are now, what the wattage is, and what is needed, and that he will try to have said information at the September 16, 1996, Work Session. Commissioner Lyons stated that he will ask the neighborhood watch groups attending the Neighborhood Watch Convention if they feel that up-grading the lights (increased wattage) would help the crime situation. (Commissioner Thomas absent.) C. Sidewalks at Park-on-Park and Centennial Park. The Public Works Director reviewed memorandum dated August 16, 1996, and the Commission concurred with sidewalk repair/replacement, as necessary. This item was referred to tonight's Regular Meeting for City Commission action. (Commissioner Thomas present.) Law enforcement activity in Historic District, and approDriate allocation of Dersonnel and resources. Police Chief Ralph Russell distributed, and reviewed a Report on Calls for Service in 1995, which was prepared as a result of questions raised at the last meeting regarding manpower allocation, community policing, and community based policing. Further, there has been a considerable increase in calls for service, mainly retail theft, since the Seminole Towne Center opened. Also, another quad unit would be more productive than community policing; there is no money budgeted for additional personnel, and that more emphasis needs to be placed on neighborhood watch programs. Senior Resource Alliance Board Vacancy. The Commission did not discuss this item for lack of time. Economic Development Incentive Program. (Commissioner Howell briefly left the meeting, then returned.) Director of Community Development Charles Rowe reviewed possible criteria and procedures for determining how many applicants receive financial assistance, including: whether or not the applications are accepted periodically, if they should be considered at the same time, establish an annual incentive/goal so applicants would know how much they would be applying for, and/or possibly establish a revolving loan at a lesser interest rate. The City Manager reported that he anticipates applications from Mobilite and Florida Extruders for City Commission consideration at the September 16, 1996 Meeting, and from Airtran in the near future. ~ After discussion, the Commission concurred to discuss this item at a later date. (The Chairman recessed the meeting for approximately 10 minutes, then reconvened the meeting.) Implementation of Senate Bill 322. This item was not discussed due to time constraints. Curfew ordinance. This item was not discussed. E405354 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford,' Florida Work Session Historic Preservation Board Recommendations.

The City Manager reviewed recommended FY 96/97 pay grade adjustments, as described in memorandum dated August 20, 1996, from Personnel DireCtor, which includes a 3% pay grade adjustment (one grade up and one step back), effective October 1, 1996, for all positions listed in Sections 1 and 2; those positions in Sections 3 and 4 which are found to merit a 3% increase after completion of the independent consultant survey would receive said pay adjustments retroactive to October 1, 1996; no actual money is involved until the employee reaches the maximum end of his/her pay grade. Mr. Simmons reported that Utility Director Paul Moore has requested a salary adjustment for utility plant operators, as described in memorandum dated August 21, 1996, to attract qualified operators, and that if we cannot retain and hold these operators considerable overtime may be necessary to meet state requirements. Commissioner Lyons proposed a 2% COLA for all employees. The City Manager reported that he chose not to recommend a COLA, but rather a regrade/salary adjustment as a way to achieve salary comparability, that the cost of implementing the regrades is considerably less than a COLA across the board, and that the dollar impact is on the topped out end. Commissioner Howell requested that the City Manager provide information relative the number of regrades/re-classifications and the percentage of salary increase over the past ten (10) years, for the Police Chief, Personnel Director, Director of Public Works, Director of Parks and Recreation, and the Utility Director. City Manager Simmons reported that the across the board average merit pay approaches 5%; a 7% increase with a 2% COLA is, and that the survey will not change figures significantly.
