Announcement
Mayor Dale announced the Central Florida Bass Fishing Club will host their first
Sanford Bass Tournament at Coastline Park on Saturday, June 17,2000,
from 11:00 AM. to 5:00 P.M.
Citizen participation.
A Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, requested clarification regarding
setbacks for trees in relationship to sidewalks, and asked why the City
planted trees along the Mayfair section. Mayor Dale said the Land
Development Regulation requires a 10' setback requirement for planting
trees in new developments, but does not address existing development.
She recommended the Commission address the issue, because the trees will
grow big and will present a problem for the sidewalks.
B. Roger Dowdy, 508 N. Grandview Avenue, reported that since 1984 there
have been several vehicles stolen from his driveway. Several of his
neighbors have had thefts of vehicles, vehicle radio, plants, and there have
been attempted thefts. Druggies roam the neighborhood and knock on
doors begging for money. He said the City is overrun by juvenile
gangsters. He asked how Sanford can be taken back from the criminals.
He said that his property taxes have tripled since 1984 and the property
value has decreased because of crime.
Mayor Dale said that progress is being made in reorganizing the Police
Department so crime can be reduced, prevented, and solved.
C. Mrs. Dowdy, 508 N. Grandview Avenue, reported she had a restored
classic car stolen. Her van that was stolen was totaled. She and her
husband have been told that their insurance will not be renewed, therefore
they will have to pay higher rates elsewhere. They have been greatly
inconvenienced and asked who will repay her.
Mayor Dale said ways need to be found to be more proactive where crime
is concerned. There is not a lack of money because more than $10,000,000
is spent every year on public safety.
D. Mary Greenwell, 2109 Magnolia Avenue, reported concerns that the City is
not doing enough to keep the youth busy and recommended an in depth
recreation program. The old school house between Magnolia and Palmetto
is a great choice for a community center and suggested recycling the Velma
Mitchell Annex.
E. Monarcha Marcet, 801 S. Park Avenue, Sanford, reported she has had a
couple of thefts, both which were reported. She read in the Sanford Herald
that the Police Department was going to set up sting operations and asked
if that had been done.
Captain Mike McCoy reported two vehicle stakeouts were done at Bram
Towers but did not have positive results. Sanford has an inordinate
amount of vehicle thefts. There are twelve habitual juvenile offenders who
live in Sanford. The sentencing process is being reviewed to determine
how to enhance sentencing~ many offenders get out of jail quickly.

City Commissioners' Reports.
Commissioner Eckstein - Today' s youth have no fear of anyone, including persons of
authority. He has been teaching in Sanford for 32 years and once young people are
arrested, he has to sign them into his class and he teaches them. While the people who
burglarize homes and automobiles can't be controlled, the way Staff responds to citizens
can be controlled. He said that all Department Heads who receive a citizen's call should
respond immediately and that there is no excuse to not respond properly. Ninety-nine
percent of the time Staff does their job, but he doesn't like citizens stating that Staffis not
responsive and that favoritism is shown~ other than that, he is very happy with the job
Staff is doing.
Commissioner Williams - Complimented all Staff and said it should be remembered that
the citizens are our most important people. She is concerned about recreation activities
for the youth in Sanford and anticipates bringing up the issue during budget Work Session.
Commissioner Lessard - He and the City Manager inspected the Velma Mitchell Annex
about a month ago and requested the Commission consider if it is a worthy expenditure.
The property is adjacent to Red Barber Park and there is an opportunity to use the facility,
possibly for a community center. The property is in good shape, has a solid metal roof,
the wiring has been upgraded, the air conditioning is not central unit but has a number of
units. Commissioner Eckstein said he is willing to keep an open mind but there has to be a
purpose for the building, because it is going to be expensive to operate.
Commissioner Lessard commended Mike Kirby, Recreation Director, for an outstanding
baseball season and said the program has greatly improved over the last year.
Mayor Dale - Recommended that action be taken regarding the Firefighters'
Union. Commission authorized the City Manager to reject the approval of the
Recognition - Acknowledgment Petition. Mayor Dale said the Firefighters'
Union can proceed with their election.
TV......Reject approval of petition.
