Change of Historic District boundaries.
The Director of Planning and Development reported that Staff recommends that, at
a minimum, three (3) structures within the 200 Block of French Avenue be removed from the Old
Sanford Residential Historic District based on the fact that the properties are not
significant structures, and are not listed on the National Register.
Commissioner Howell reported that he is in favor of demolishing and removing the
structure at Third Street and French Avenue, but is opposed to removing any others without
having received a request for same, and that he would like to reconsider the request to
demolish the structure at 219 South French Avenue at tonight's Regular Meeting.
The City Clerk requested the opportunity to check into whether or not a public
hearing is required before the City Commission reconsiders this item.
After discussion, the Commission concurred to reconsider the Certificate of
Appropriateness, to demolish the structure at 219 South French Avenue at the December 9,
1996, Regular Meeting, to allow the City Clerk to determine whether a public hearing is
required for said reconsideration.

ordinance, but not as written, and requested that this item be held in abeyance pending City
Attorney's review, comments and recommendations.
Police Chief Ralph Russell recommendedthat if the City Commission is desirous of
this type of ordinance, that Staff develop requirements and specific categories such as
restaurants, fast food restaurants and gas stations.
The City Manager reported that four different issues addressed in the ordinance
includes the requirement that two persons are on duty between the hours of 10:00 P.M. and
5:00 A.M., maintain a drop safe, 3) install a security camera, and 4) maintain sufficient
lighting in the parking lot during all hours of darkness while employees are on duty.

Commissioner Thomas reported that this organization has grown into something the
City should be proud of, and that he would like to do everything possible to accommodate this
organization.
Patricia Whatley reported the children are eager to pursue goals and objectives,
that she would hate to get started with the programs, and then have to pick up their roots
and move. Further, she is concerned whether future Commissions will be supportive, and that
donations are coming from corporations who see the stability of the organization.
Henry Nickson reported that he is a full time volunteer for Tajiri Arts, that he
is working to build a good rapor with corporate businesses, that businesses are preparing
their budgets for next year, and that a ten (10) year lease would show stability.
Commissioner gckstein proposed a five (5) year lease, with the ability to renew for
an additional five (5) years, under certain conditions/stipulations i.e. rent, capital
improvements, and taxes.
After discussion, the Commission concurred that the City Manager work with Ms.
Whatley to prepare a five (5) year lease, with a five (5) year renewal section, with

1996, Meeting.
EMS Transport.
The City Manager reported that presently the eastern portion of the City is served
for ALS purposes by Seminole County, that the Fire Chief recommends that the next budqet
cycle include funds to equip and man Station 93 with ALS, which would require three
additional people and ALS transport equipment, however, if the City ends up in the transport
business with the six people and the two additional vehicles as previously discussed, those
additional transport assets would negate the need for additional people under the ALS
scenario. Further, after additional analysis we found that it would be somewhat more
expensive to get into the EMS transport business. Further, Seminole County wi'il consider
this issue at its Commission Meeting tomorrow, November 26, 1996, that he and Marty Johnson
will attend said meeting to hopefully have an opportunity to re-enforce that the City does
not want to be forced into the transport business, and requested confirmation from the
Commission to do.

emergency transport is 60%, that the anticipated first year rate on collection is 34%, and
the initial start up cost is estimated at $401,000.00.

The Commission discussed the appointments of James Cara, Isabel Wilson and Grace
Marie Stinecipher to the Sanford Museum Board; Commissioner Lyons' appointee Willie
McClennon, conditioned upon receipt of an application, to the Police Advisory Committee; and
the re-appointment of Bob Parseli to the Community Redevelopment Agency.
