Audience Participation.
Robert Roth, 8392 Rambling River Drive, appeared and reported that he is the
Executive Director of the Sailfest, and introduced members of the Sailfest Executive Board,
as follows: Jack Wert, Tourism Director, Seminole County Tourist Development Office; Seminole
County Commissioner Win Adams, Andy Chingoletti and Jason Weeks, Orlando Area Sports
Commission. Further, the Sailfest is the largest sailing regatta in the world, receives
national coverage, that for the past several years world class competitors have come to
Sanford to participate in the Sailfest, and that area hotels and restaurants have realized
the financial benefits from said event. Further, the Sailfest promoters are strongly
considering moving this event. Every year participants are surveyed, that although they have
always had at least a 98% satisfaction level relatiue Sailfest management and the
organization, people have been dissatisfied with ~he beach area and the boat launching
facilities. In the last two years, the complaints have increased dramatically, and that it
is unsafe to walk or launch a boat from the shoreline. Further, the Sailfest cannot be held
in Sanford this year, or any other year, unless the safety issues are addressed. Also, on
May 3, 1996, he and the promoters of this event met with the City Manager; walked the beach
and discussed the problems, at which time he submitted a proposal outlining the problems and
basic solutions. Other areas have expressed an interest in hosting this event, along with
sponsorship funds, security, sanitation and the like. Further, they are under the impression
that the City takes this event for grated or considers it to be more of a nuisance than a
benefit. Mr. Roth asked if the City was willing to work with them as a sponsor, or provide
resources, and to take the necessary steps to make the beach a safe place to walk and launch
boatS. Also, can the City commit to rectifying the safety problems this year, and make a
concerted effort to work with them in the future to develop a plan to eliminate launching
difficulties.
Jack Wert, 803 Riverbend Boulevard, Longwood, Florida, appeared and reported that
he is the TourismDirector for Seminole County, and that the Sailfest is a signature event
for the entire area. Further, the Tourism Office has been tracking this event since 1992,
that over the past four years the Sailfest has had a direct economic impact of $575,000.00
on the community, with an average of $13,750 in taxes, including hotel, gas and sales taxes.
Further, this event showcases Seminole County and one of the area's greatest assets, Lake
Monroe, and that he wants this event to remain in Sanford.
Mayor smith reported that she would like the City to keep the Sailfest, but is
distressed about how Mr. Roth made his presentation. Further, the City will do whatever it
can this year to address the safety issues, but Mr. Roth and the promoters of this event need
to make a commitment that they will not come back to the City each year threatening to move
the Sailfest elsewhere.
The City Manager reported that at the May 3rd meeting, he made a verbal commitment
to use City forces to level and provide a gentle sloping beach to remove high obstructions
in the area, that the large boulders would be broken down and/or removed, and the large gaps
filled in with gravel to provide a more smooth surface for boat launching, and that said work
would be done two or three weeks prior to the event, as in past years.

several different methods and techniques, that with the proper design the shoreline could be
stabilized, and that he would be happy to meet with City Staff to discuss this issue.
