LYi~K - Northern Corridor Alignment Re-Study.
Randy Farwell, Director of Planning and Tony Walter, Planning Manager, for LYNX presented the results
of the Northern Corridor Alignment Study. Mr. Farwell distributed a booklet, and reported the purpose of the study was to
evaluate a set of new alignments against the no-build alternative, the TSM alternative and the DEIS alternative (CSX
alignment); to utilize a dynamic public outreach approach; and to take a fresh look at light rail alternatives. He reported
the outcome of this project is that in January or February they will know whether or not there is a cost feasible,
operationally feasible and politically feasible alignment that is worth considering in further study and analysis, that would
be required to get Federal funding through the LYNX Board and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MetroPlan
Orlando). Mr. Farwell announced there will be an Open House on October 12 at the Embassy Suites in Altamonte Springs,
from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and one on October 17 at the St. Johns Lutheran Church in Winter Park (just north of Loch
Haven). The Open Houses are to encourage everyone to find out what this study is all about, where LYNX is going with it,
and why they are doing it. Them will be videos at the Open Houses showing what light rail technology is and how it is
used, and what commuter rail technology is and how it is used, and how the two differ. They will also be asking for public
feedback.
Mr. Farwell mad the Project Vision as follows: To identify whether an alternative exists within the North
Corridor which can satisfy the mobility and quality of life issues, while achieving public acceptance and support. He
further explained what light rail is, and what commuter rail is, and what the difference is between the two types of rail
systems.
Commissioner Eckstein reported traffic from Volusia Connty is causing a lot of the problems i~
County. [Mayor Dale left the meeting briefly and returned.] Commissioner Lessard reported that LYNX in Seminole
County and Votran in Volusia County need to work together. Mayor Dale reported that Winter Park has gone on record
saying it will be against any alignment. [Commissioner Jones joined the meeting.]
Mr. Farwell reported the next steps are the Task Force meeting next Friday, and a recommendation from the
Task Force by January or February to the LYNX Board and the MetroPlan Orlando Board, and the Open Houses, Once
they have more definitive alignments they will return to the jurisdictions with another status report.

Seminole CounW Youth Commission Proposal.
Dr. Hortense Evans of Seminole County Public Schools, and Wayne Weinberg of the College of
Engineering and Computer Science, made a presentation on the Seminole County Youth Commission. Dr. Evans reported
the Juvenile Justice Council has been asking "and how are the children?" The Council wants to know if the children are
safe, happy, secure, well-educated, free from abuse and free from crime, and no one can answer the question. The
Juvenile Justice Council went to the Seminole Vision Board wanting to come up with some way of assessing and
determining a vision for the youth of Seminole County. In July the Vision Board approved and adopted the Seminole
County Youth Commission.
Wayne Weinberg read the purpose of the Youth Commission as follows: "The Commission will serve as a
community advocate and catalyst in identifying and promoting services and opportunities for youth from birth to eighteen
years old. The Commission will provide continuous and ongoing assessment in variables that affect the quality of life for
youth in the County. The Commission will encourage partnerships, collaborations, cooperation between and among the
various private and public resources, that affect youth in order to strengthen the quality of life for youth in Seminole
County." Mr. Weinberg reported the Youth Commission is ~in the process of becoming a 501(c)3 corporation for the
purpose of applying for grants and large dollars. Further, the Youth Commission is asking for endorsement of the
establishment of the Seminole County Youth Commission from various entities and community organizations. On
December 6, 2000, the first Youth Conference will be held, with participants being all people who work with youth in
Seminole County, including government, business people, youth, recreation leaders, scout leaders, church youth leaders,
etc. These people will give input as to what the Youth Commission should be doing for the youth in Seminole County.
The Second Phase will be a study of what services are already being provided to determine if those services are necessary,
if there is duplication of services, or if new services are needed. From this survey an advisory board will be created, and a
web site will be created. The web site would have a calendar of events, with sign-up available on line, and possibly job
listings would be available. [Commissioner Eckstein left the meeting briefly and retumed.]
Mayor Dale reported that children need to have it proven to them that there will be consequences when they
cross the line that has been drawn. He is against the Youth Commission if it is just going to be a "feel good" thing and it's
going to try to save the world. He is not against it if there are going to be specifics and standards will be set.
Commissioner Williams reported the Youth Commission is an excellent endeavor, but it should not be viewed as an
agency or commission whose main purpose is to provide punitive type services to youth. The Commission should
encompass services that are remedial, preventive and corrective, and meet the needs of all kinds of youth with all kinds of
problems.
Dr. Evans distributed a proposed letter of endorsement and asked if the Commission would consider, at
tonight's meeting, authorization to sign an endorsement letter and return it to the Youth Commission. She reported they
will keep the Commission informed of their progress through status reports.
Seminole County_ Local Hazard Mitigation Strategy.
Fire Chief Tom Hickson, reported the Seminole County Local Hazard Mitigation Committee has adopted
the Local Hazard Mitigation Strategy, as required by the State to be eligible for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. It is
now up to each municipality to adopt it if they wish to apply for grant monies. Sanford has identified several projects,

including repair of the seawall, for which it would like to apply for grant funding through the Local Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program. This will be voted on at tonight's meeting.
Florida Retirement System.
Donna Watt, Finance Director, reported consideration has been given to terminating the General Employees
Pension Plan which was established on January 1, 1996 for all general employees hired by the City after that date, and
putting all general employees back into the Florida Retirement System. She reported it appears, from preliminary
estimates, that there are sufficient funds in the General Employees Pension Plan to buy the time for everybody in that plan.
To accomplish this change, the City needs to send a letter to the Florida Retirement System requesting to rejoin the system.
The Florida Retirement System has agreed that December 1, 2000 would be an acceptable date for the change. The
Ordinance that established the General Employees Pension Plan would have to be repealed by November 30, 2000, and a
Resolution to rejoin the Florida Retirement System would have to be adopted. Florida Retirement System will calculate
the cost of buying time for the employees in the General Employees Pension Plan as of December 1, 2000. Ms. Watt
reported there are both advantages and disadvantages in being a member of the Florida Retirement System, but one of the
advantages may be the ability of the City to recruit high quality employees. Also, most of the administrative duties of the
General Employees Pension Plan would not be required under the Florida Retirement System. Ms. Watt cautioned if the
City wants to rejoin the Florida Retirement System it needs to do so before anyone retires under the General Employees
Pension Plan, because if there are retirees under the plan, the whole plan cannot be terminated without a vote of the
retirees. She further reported the Airport has been contacted by the Florida Retirement System, and the Airport desires to
rejoin, but the Airport is included in the City's plan, so it has to do what the City decides to do.
Mayor Dale reported there will be a motion tonight to terminate the General Employees Retirement System
and rejoin the Florida Retirement System. Ms. Watt reported she will send a letter to the Florida Retirement System
enrollment group informing them of the City's decision, and she will provide the Resolutions and Ordinances necessary to
rejoin. [Commissioner Jones left the meeting briefly and returned.]
Strategic Plan Update.
City Manager VanDerworp reported that in the fall of 1998, during a Strategic Planning Session, more than
fifty-five actions were identified for the City to take to meet its goals. Some additional tasks have been added since then.
He reviewed these goals briefly, and the Commission discussed several projects. [Commissioner Lessard left the meeting
briefly and returned.] Mayor Dale reported that negotiations are moving forward to purchase land on Rand Yard Road and
SR 46 for a Catholic High School.
Paulucci Building.
Charles Rowe, Community Development Director, reported the City was contacted today by a contractor
who is pulling a permit to demolish the Paulucci Building, which was destroyed by fire. City Manager VanDerworp
reported a fence will be constructed in the next couple of days that will protect the remainder of the building, and open up
the street to two-way traffic which has been closed for the past month. If the fence is not constructed by Wednesday, the
City Manager will take action to open the street and put up a fenced enclosure around the building, and charge the owner.

scroller to put meeting dates, etc. on the home page. She reported that there will also be two places on the home page
where a citizen could click on and send the City an E-mail. The citizen will call up an on-line citizens's action request and
fill in their name, E-mail address, address, telephone number and a place to type the complaint or comment. These E-
mails will go directly to the Assistant City Manager's secretary to be put on the project tracking sheet, or to be forwarded
to the appropriate department.
Use of City logo for fundraising.
Mike Kirby, Director of Recreation and Parks, reported the Paws Park Committee has raised $3,500 so far
for Paws Park, and they are asking permission to use the City logo on T-shirts to sell at another fund raising event they will
be holding. He reported that 100% of the profit from the T-shirts will go to the Park fund. The Commission concurred to
allow the City logo to be used on the T-shirts.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Citizen participation.
Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, expressed her displeasure at receiving a letter from the
Commission. She reported the Commissioners as individuals have every ri~t to endorse whatever candidate they want,
but when they use their position of office in order to do so, it is despicable. She further reported no matter how much the
Commission denies that City letterhead was used for the letter, it certainly came across to the public as City letterhead.
Mary Greenwell, 2109 Magnolia Avenue, reported she received a letter from the Mayor and the
Commission, and the envelope stated it was from the Office of the Mayor. The Commissioners all signed the letter, and
there was not a notation that it was a political letter. The letter stated that the Mayor and Commissioners were all for
Daryl McLain. The letter also stated that the opposition had aligned itself with a small special interest group. The letter
was clearly intended to deceive; 5,000 Sanford residents received this letter, and the same postage meter was used as on a
letter she had received from Daryl McLain. Ms. Greenwell reported she resents the same old phrase being used again
describing a special interest group; they are interested in preserving Fort Mellon Park. In July 1999 a few of them obtained
more than seven hundred signatures at the July 4th celebration. These people were fi.om all over the state, which proves
that the park is used by everyone and is important state wide. In addition, they now have more than 2,000 signatures of
Sanford residents who are urging that this be placed on a referendum, or on the ballot. Given the fact that there are close
to 3,000 people who do not want the City to cement over Fort Mellon Park, she does not feel they can be referred to as a
small special interest group. The Mayor and City Commissioners all owe the citizens of Sanford an apology, possibly in
the form of another letter that is paid for personally by them.
Joe Young, 1321 Shepperd Avenue, reported the City police cars need to slow down when driving on 13th
Street, they are going way too fast. Mayor Dale reported the Police Chief will investigate this complaint and make sure it
is resolved.
Kelly Clark of the Salvation Army of Seminole County, 700 W. 24th Street, reported the Salvation Army is
planning to hold a gun exchange program next year, through a Health & Safety Fair, asking the residents of Seminole
County to turn their guns in, in exchange for shoes, toys, or some other useful product. The Salvation Army is contacting
local law enfomement agencies to accept the guns, and one has already agreed. The Health & Safety Fair will include a
"dog and pony" show by law enforcement agencies with D.A.R.E. units, K-9 units, S.W.A.T. teams, helicopters, etc., and
possibly have thumb printing, diabetes screening and immunizations. She asked the Commission to lend its support to the
Salvation Army and/ts endeavor to keep the streets safe.

Mayor Dale reported he supports immunizations and the other things, but he is a big believer in the Second
Amendment so he will not support taking guns from citizens, but for defending the citizen's right to own those guns under
the Constitution. Commissioner Jones reported this program has been done successfully many times in Orlando, and it is
proven to be very successful, with a lot of corporate sponsorship. Commissioner Lessard reported he would be very
supportive of the program. Commissioner Williams reported she has no reservations about the program as long as the
Salvation Army meets with the Police Chief to make sure he is in support of the program. Mayor Dale reported the Chief
of Police, as well as the City Manager, will be available to meet with Ms. Clark.

Public hearing to consider appeal regarding the Planning & Zoning Commission's approval of Florida Recycling
Services Site Plan. Mayor Larry Dale, City of Sanford, applicant. Applicant notified September 15, 2000. Property
posted September 18, 2000. Ad published September 28, 2000.
Mayor Dale reported the Planning and Zoning Commission approved this site plan in July, and the property
owner was out of town and requested the appeal be extended to October. He reported he appealed the decision as Mayor
to the Commission to consider some requirements on Rand Yard Road and the access to Rand Yard.
Sid Vihlen, Jr., 204 North Park Avenue, property owner, reported this site plan went before Staffand over a
period of several months Staff reviewed and considered the preliminary engineering design, and with unanimous Staff
recommendation and approval the site plan was heard in a Public Hearing by the Planning and Zoning Commission. There
was no public opposition at that particular Public Hearing. The site plan was unanimously approved by the Planning and
Zoning Commission with one member abstaining due to a conflict of interest which was appropriately identified.
After the site plan was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, Mr. Vihlen met with Mayor Larry Dale
who had some traffic concerns about Rand Yard Road, and Wayne Densch, Inc. who had expressed some concerns about a
combination of its truck traffic and the proposed truck traffic at Rand Yard and SR 46. Mr. Vihlen agreed that these traffic
concerns needed to be addressed. Last week, Mr. Vihlen learned that a sizeable private school may be built on Rand Yard
Road north of SR 46. Mr. Vihlen met today with Tom Ball, the owner of that property, and Mr. Vihlen reported that this is
a wonderful opportunity for the school to be built, which he personally supports. He reported that compatibility on Rand
Yard Road needs to be considered. Rather than have a Public Hearing tonight, not understanding the total picture of how
to be compatible, he requested the Commission consider continuing the hearing for thirty days so all parties involved can
further investigate options for compatibility, and so he can consider amending or improving his site plan.

Consider waiver of sign regulations to allow a 3/4 scale replica of an F4F Wildcat Naval WWII fighter airplane to
be constructed on the roof of the Airport Bowling Lanes located at 190 E. Airport Boulevard.
Commissioner Eckstein moved to deny the request to waive the sign regulations. Seconded by
Commissioner Williams.
Ludwig G. Habada, President of Aloma Bowl, Inc., reported they want to construct an aircraft and mount it
on the roof of the facility to draw attention away from the mechanical equipment on the roof. An F4F Wildcat Naval
World War II fighter was chosen because it was flown out of the Sanford Airport during WWlI and has significant
historical value. It would be a downsized, exact replica, and it would not have any signs on it. Mr. Habada reported that
he has just learned that the City of Sanford, Seminole County and the Airport have been working to pm together a
historical display. He understands they will be raising an F4F omo the lake from, restoring it, and putting up a plaque or
marker to commemorate and remember those who flew and trained in the Sanford area, and they were not in favor of his
organization putting an F4F on the roof of their building, because it would conflict with what they were doing. He
reported his organization originally had wanted to erect a bi-wing aircraft instead of a WWlI fighter aircraft, and they
would do that if it was agreeable.

Commissioner Eckstein reported, in regard to the Angelia Gordon Property Management Grand Opening, the City has
always had a policy of Sanford policemen working special events, and on this particular one Chief Tooley only signed off

Add-on items.

City Clerk Janet Dougherty reported the second City Commission meeting of December falls on December
25, Christmas Day, and the Planning and Zoning Commission is needing to schedule items in December and needs to
know when the second meeting of December will be held. Mayor Dale mpo~ted one consideration is the first Public
Hearing for the Airport DRI has been scheduled for December 11, and the second Public Hearing needs to be at least ten
days after that date, so if the Commission were to meet on December 18, the Monday prior to Christmas, the DRI Public
Hearing could not take place, and would have to be moved to January 8, 2001. He also reported the City Charter requires
the Commission have two meetings in December. Commissioner Eckstein moved to schedule the second City

City_ Manager's Report.

Commissioner Jones Aye
City Manager VanDerworp reported the FDOT has requested the City remove its landscaping from a
portion of the Greeneway project. This would involve removing about twenty-three trees and approximately one hundred
fifty shrubs. Staff is recommending the City remove the landscaping from October 10 to October 12, during the hours of
7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and close off that portion of Towne Center Boulevard from Rinehart Road to the Towne Center
entrance on the north to perform the work. Mayor Dale reported that road has a lot of traffic, especially since it is holiday
shopping time. He reported the City should just leave the landscaping and let the FDOT destroy whatever they need to,
unless it can be removed without completely closing the road. The Commission authorized the City Manager to use
common sense to erect safety barricades, etc., without closing the road completely, and remove what is feasible.
City Manager VanDerworp distributed a copy of a warning notice that the Code Enfomement Department
would like to use to tag vehicles that have historically been allowed to be parked on the parkway. Normally the police
would tag the vehicle to be towed within 48 hours if not moved, but this tag would serve as a warning that the vehicle is
parked in violation of the City of Sanford Code and arrangements for alternative parking need to be made. One of the
areas most used for long term parking of these vehicles is Hartwell Avenue. Mayor Dale reported it was illegal to enforce
the Code one way in one section of town and another way in a different section of town. City Attorney Colbert reported,
although there may be times when extenuating circumstances prevail, as a matter of policy the Commission should not set
a policy to enforce the code differently in different areas of town. Mayor Dale asked if there was a problem with the 48
hour tags that are now being used. Police Chief Tooley said there was no problem. Mayor Dale asked why it should be
fixed if it is not broken. City Manager VanDerworp reported that in particular areas of the City, there are numerous
violations of the parkway Ordinance, with 20 to 40 vehicles in a span of two or three blocks. These people have parked
there for a long time, and the purpose of this notice is to give them a little bit more time to find alternative parking. The
Commission concurred to authorize Staff to handle this internally, with guidance from the City Attorney.
City Manager VanDerworp reported the large oak tree on the west side of the City Hall parking lot has a
tear in it and has started to pull apart. Several arborists have advised that the tree could possibly be saved by putting a rod
through the tree, cleaning out some of the upper limbs, and cabling the upper branches. The City has received a quote of
$2,100.00 to complete this work. The Commission concurred to have this work done.
City Manager VanDerworp reported Purchasing Manager Vicki Lewis has passed the tests to be a Certified
Pumhasing Manager.
City Manager VanDerworp reported Wednesday he made a presentation on What's Happening in the City
of Sanford to the International Roundtable, and he will be making the same presentation to the Tourist Development
Commission this week.
City Commissioners' Reports.
Commissioner Eckstein - Reported he just received a press release that the Seminole High School SRO has
just been placed on Administrative Duty. Police Chief Tooley reported the officer will be on Administrative Duty for a
couple of weeks, which means he cannot carry a weapon. A replacement SRO will be assigned to Seminole High School.
