12) CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
Sherri Wilkie asked Commissioner M how his motor scooter falls
under the Florida Statutes for gifts. She contacted the dealership in Debary and was told
about a two year advertisement deal for which the scooter is being gifted. She also
questioned why the tags on the scooter are out of State. This serves as her notice of
intent to file a complaint with the Ethics Committee and allow them to further investigate
her findings. She also asked Mr. Bonaparte for further information regarding persons
interested in applying for the Police Chief position. Mr. Bonaparte said that Staff has
been working with the recruiting company; a brochure is being finalized which will
outline what the qualifications, expectations, and challenges are; it is anticipated that it
will go out sometime in early November; there will be a thirty day recruitment process
and they will hopefully be able by mid December to share with us candidates that they

think best match what we have indicated for the qualities and attributes for the City of
Sanford. Ms. Wilkie asked if Chief Myers will remain as the Interim Chief until that
point. Mr. Bonaparte said that Chief Myers has indicated an interest in staying on while
we continue to have the search with the idea of having someone permanently in by mid to
late January.
Ericka Sipp, a community independent organizer, announced the resident
advisory board group for low income residents, P.U.S.H. (People United Saving
Humanity). There are several issues relating to the residents who were displaced from
the public housing authorities. The residents want an active voice in the community and
don't feel like they have one. There is no communication between case workers and
residents and some residents are losing their vouchers; nor was there any formal
education to the residents prior to receiving the vouchers. There needs to be
accountability to the Orlando Housing Authority and the Sanford Board and the Sanford
Commissioners. The residents ask that the contract with the Orlando Housing Authority
be terminated. Nothing has been implemented by Orlando or Sanford for the five
complexes which are boarded in Sanford.
Thelma Mike said that she has attended several meetings at the Sanford
Housing Authority and there have been only a few ex- residents who attended. She
understands that each person who was housed from the Housing Authority receives
information as to what is going on as far as housing is concerned. Some of the people

have expressed that they are pleased with some of the housing. She would like it if
people who are concerned would go to the meetings so they will find out that these things
cannot happen because of other financial things that are concerned with it that the City
does not pay the money for. She appreciates the interest that all people have regardless
of where they come from but if we are going to give out information be sure that we have
good representation to give out all of the information so we will hear both sides.
13) CITY COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS
Commissioner Williams said that she is familiar with the information
provided by Ms. Sipp. She was informed by Ms. Bryant that there was information sent
to the families in question and it is true that there was a person who lost her voucher. As
a Commissioner there is only so much she can do; if she finds that something has been
violated and someone has been treated unfairly then she would move to the next step. As
a Commissioner her role is policy making and she has no control or influence over the
Board of the Housing Authority. She doesn't even play a role in appointing members to
that Board; that is the Mayor's only responsibility to that Board. The Sanford Housing
Authority hired the Orlando Housing Authority.
Vice Mayor Mahany complimented Mr. Bonaparte on the presentation of
his report. She expressed appreciation, admiration, and respect for him and said that he
has done a very good job his first year. He reflects very well on this City. She feels that
the City is organized and is moving forward in every direction. His working relationship

with the Commission and Staff is excellent; she hears nothing but compliments from
Staff.
Commissioner Jones said the report was fantastic. Anything positive that
happens in the City is a result of the City Manager and Staff. He thanked the City
Manager.
Commissioner M said that maybe eventually we will have the
cameras rolling and the whole City of Sanford can hear the dialogue that we have that
makes it open and transparent whether you are for or against someone. The Energy and
Environmental Quality Legislation Policy Committee is going to take up with the League
of Cities the QECB (Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds) funds which can be used for
energy so we can get off dependence. The bonds also deal with water; money was just
appropriated for things that concern water. He showed a video clip of happenings in
Sanford.
Mayor Triplett said that he received the Assistant City Attorney's golf cart
ordinance but hasn't had a chance to look at it. He thanked Mr. George for his hard work
on the union contracts. He said that he was impressed by Mr. Bonaparte's Annual Report
and looks forward to reading through the powerpoint.
