Keith Reeves, Architects Design Group, Inc., gave an overview of the Spatial Needs Assessment/Master Plan for the proposed Public Safety Facilities, including Police Department, Fire Station and Emergency Medical Services as a part of the Fire Department; and reported that both of these departments proved to be excellent candidates for a new facility. Further, based on a construction start date in spring of 1997, the facility would be available for occupancy in 1998. Also, an analysis was done on the property on French Avenue between 18th Street and 15th Street relative a potential public safety complex site, including future recreational facility use. Further, development of this property would take care of stormwater retention and eliminate the flooding problem on Elm Avenue between 16th Street and 17th Street. Also, there is no significant jump relative square footage from the current needs to the year 2005, however, a big jump (40%) occurs in 2115. (Commissioner Lyons joined the meeting.) Mr. Reeves made the following recommendations: 1) Facilities for Year 1998, 2) Co-site Facilities, 3) Seek Grant Funding, 4) Citizen Support, and 5) City Project Committee. The City Manager recommended that this item be carried over to the next Work Session, to ascertain whether the City Commission wishes Staff to proceed in the direction of a public safety complex, and determine financial considerations and solicit scope of services for a design. Further, if the City were to borrow money on a tax exempt bond issue it would be more attractive than for someone else to borrow at a higher rate. On recommendation of the City Manager, the Commission concurred to devote an entire Work Session to discuss this subject, after obtaining funding alternatives. Economic Development Incentive Program. Director of Community Development Charles Rowe reviewed and discussed Economic Development Incentive Applications, as follows: 1) Jet America, formerly known as Transair, is still in the process of obtaining FAA Certification, and, therefore, said application is not ready for any type of action.

Also, Seminole County awarded Mobilite $150,000.00; and 4) Universal Sales Agency is 232 E405354 MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida Work Session September 23 19 96 expected to close on the Harcar building within the next two weeks; no additional ad valorem tax base would be created, and do not recommend a grant, but possibly a loan. The City Manager reported that the program is based on use of general fund reserves, that the potential for achieving what the applicants are wanting in the way of a grant ($150,000.00 to $200,000.00) is too significant of an amount to come from the reserves, however, a low interest loan in conjunction with waiver of certain fees is an attractive aspect. After discussion, the Commission concurred to proceed with Florida Extruder's application, as recommended by the Director of Community Development, and requested that Staff provide additional information on the other applications. Request from Bob Roth, Executive Director, Sailfest, for shoreline improvements.
