The City Commission of the City of Sanford, Florida met in Work Session on Monday, November 27, 2000,
at 3:30 o'clock P.M. in the City Manager s Conference Roo , Sanford City Hall, 300 North Park Avenue, Sanf°rd,

The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Prohibitine the use of tobacco products for Firefighters and Police Officers.
City Manager VanDerworp reported Florida Statute 112 is the presumptive for Firefighters and Police
Officers regarding certain health conditions relating to hypertension, heart or high blood pressure, or those types of
disabilities. Joe Denaro, Human Resources Director reported that the presumption claims that the City has settled over the
last year have all been related to firefighters. Mayor Dale reported that when the City has had hearings on disabilities, it
has been more than a presumption unless proven otherwise. Staff has investigated what other areas are doing, and has
found other areas are instituting no smoking policies; if you smoke you will not be hired. Since the City operates under the
laws of the State of Florida which has the presumption clause for Police and Fire, and any heart attack is presumed to be
job related regardless of where it happens, the City may want to consider a no smoking policy. There have been Worker's
Compensation cases which have cost the City over $100,000 because of the presumptive clause, as well as disability
claims. The presumptive clause is even effective after the police officer or firefighter has terminated employment with the
City and has a condition which was caused while employed.
Joe Denaro reported that in discussing this issue with Labor Counsel, this kind of labor issue can be
negotiated in the employment contract. The City of North Miami has a policy whereby any new General Employee must
sign an affidavit stating they have been smoke free for the previous twelve months prior to employment, and it was upheld
in the Supreme Court of the State of Florida. Commissioner Eckstein reported he is in favor of this policy, and the Mayor
agreed. The Commission concurred to have Stafffurther investigate a legally sufficient no smoking policy and bring it
back to the Commission.
Westlake Plantation, L.C. 's presentation regarding the use of RCP concrete pipe vs. aluminum steel pipe at Baker's
Crossing.
Ted Price of Contract Construction Products, representative of the Developer for the Baker's Crossing
project, reported the proposed product for the 72" storm sewer for Baker's Crossing is an aluminized steel storm sewer
product. He gave a Powerpoint Presentation explaining what aluminized steel Ultra Flo is and what its design features and
service life are. He gave examples of projects where aluminized steel Ultra Flo is presently being used, or was used
recently. He reported the Developer feels they meet constmctuai requirements, hydraulic requirements and service life
requirements, and proposed the City allow the use of the aluminized steel Ultra Flo pipe for the Baker's Crossing project.
In response to Commissioner Eckstein's question of what the cost differential would be between the Ultra Flo and the
reenforced concrete Mr. Price reported it is about 50%.

Jay Marder, Director of Engineering and Planning, explained in detail the approximate Mellonville Avenue
drainage basin for the Baker's Crossing project, and the subdivision improvement plan showing the existing flood way.
Jerry Herman, Public Works Director, reported Sanford has approximately 2,500 to 4,000 feet of metal pipe of substantial
size in the ground, but it is not aluminized. Most of the problems with the metallic pipes are due to structural integrity.
He reported when concrete pipes fail, it is almost always repairable. Mr. Herman reported his concern was the structural
integrity of the surface surrounding the pipe, because it is an un/mproved area rather than a road. [Commissioner Eckstein
left the meeting briefly and returned.] Mr. Herman reported that this pipe should not be used in a hackyard scenario
because it would be about eleven feet under ground, in fairly wet conditions, and it would be difficult to excavate the
bottom if repairs were needed. Mayor Dale reported he was absolutely against galvanized pipe because there are too many
problems, and he would not use the aluminized steel if this were his development.
This item will be voted on at tonight's regular meeting.
Parks and Recreation draft five year parks plan.
City Manager VanDerworp reported the Parks and Recreation Department is finalizing its five year plan,
and is requesting comments and direction from the Commission. He reported a lot of the five year plan is driven by new
growth, by maintaining the current facilities, and by the need to expand recreation opportunities for different age groups.
The idea of promoting tourism opportunities is incorporated in the plan, and it will be used as a basis for annual budget
requests.
Mike Kirby, Recreation and Parks Director, gave an overview of the parks and open spaces, reporting there
are currently thirty-six parks throughout the City. Over the past five years eighteen parks have been upgraded and seven
parks have had major renovations. Derby Park is a new park in the last five years and Coastline Park had major
renovations and was dedicated recently. Currently the four field baseball complex at Chase Park is almost completed and
will be ready to play on this spring. In the next five years there are plans to upgrade thirteen additional parks and renovate
eight parks. Jaycee Park will be converted to Paw Park in the near future. In 2003 the Riverwalk should be completed,
and presently a consultant is being hired to develop conceptual plans for upgrading Fort Mellon Park, as well as the Marina
Entrance and Memorial Park. The irrigation system for parks throughout the City is also being redone.
The City is working with the County on a possible joint project at Hovnanian Park, and also the 18th Street
property across from Sanford Middle School and the Henderson property across from 13th Street will have a Substantial
number of basketball comts, etc. One of the biggest needs in the Recreation Division is an adult softball complex, which
is being considered at Hovnanian Park or on the 18th Street property.
City Manager VanDerworp reported this plan is designed to upgrade all City owned parks. Also,
community input will be requested as part of the Master Plan for the 13th Street park, and some grant funds will possibly
be used. He further reported that some of the parks may be kept as less intensive uses, and bolster the green space effect
for the neighborhood. Commissioner Eckstein commented that not all parks need to be filled with equipment, but should
be maintained as open spaces for the neighborhood, which would also increase property values in the neighborhood. The
other Commissioners agree& Commissioner Eckstein reported that neighborhoods should have a say in how their parks are
designed and what they want. The City should not try to project what neighborhoods want. The Commission concurred.
After extensive discussion on the 18th Street property, Mr. Kirby reported the integrity of the property would be kept for a

possible Public Safety Complex in the future. Howard Jeffries, Parks Director, reported the 18th Street park desitn keeps
the practice areas, and adds the amenities closer to the wooded area. [Mayor Dale left the meeting briefly and returned.]
Mike Kirby reported the Civic Center was leased 248 days last year, with just under 39,000 using the
facility, which generated revenue of just under $53,000. The Bettye D. Smith Cultural Arts Center was leased 147 days
with over 7,800 people using the facility for a total revenue ofjust over $12,000. The Senior Center has some very active
programs, and there is a recommendation to increase the hours of operations to be 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. This was a
request from the seniors, because so many of them work during the day. He further reported last year's attendance at the
museum was 2,800, and some tourist groups are now going through the museum. Further, the City is trying to make the
Cemetery self-supporting, and the caretaker's home and gazebo have been restored. The City portion of the Page Jackson
Cemetery has been cleaned up, surveyed, and all burial spaces which had a marker were recorded by the museum staff, and
it is now pan of the routine Cemetery maintenance.
Mr. Kirby reported there will be an official ground breaking at the Historic Sanford Memorial Stadium
tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. Construction on the stadium should be completed by the fall of 2001, and there has been a lot of
interest from people wanting to use the stadium. The City is negotiating to acquire the School Board property on
Mellonville Avenue for storm water and parking needs. Mr. Kirby reported a little over $46,000 has been spent to
construct a computer literacy classroom at the West Side Community Center, and heating and air conditioning have been
installed. Also a new gymnasium floor and public address system have been installed. These improvements were
completed with a combination of CDBG grants and City funds.
Mr. Kirby reported the Sanford Aquatic Center is completed and the Seminole High School swimming
teams, water polo teams, and diving teams are using the pool on a regular basis, as well as it being used for swimming
lessons. The Central Florida Sports Commission is negotiating to bring the 2001 Summer U. S. Water Polo Nationals to
Sanford, as well as some other District High School Swim Meets, etc. Mayor Dale reported the Commission would like an
update on the aquatic center every quarter. Mr. Kirby reported the biggest need for the City is a Community Center with a
gymnasium, fitness facility, game room, etc. The Commission discussed several possible sites for a Commumty Center.
City Manager VanDerworp reported the funds for the Community Center will be earmarked starting in 2002.
Mr. Kirby reported that, through the Scenic Improvement Board, Sanford has been recognized as a Tree
City U.S.A. over the past thirteen years, and Sanford has received the Florida Trees 2000 Award and the Outstanding
Small Townships Award. In the future the Scenic Improvement Board will be working on roadway landscaping, street
projects, the renovation of Fort Mellon Park and the development of the Riverwalk. The Board will also be educating
residents on arbor issues. City Manager VanDerworp reported the City will try to meet with individual commercial
property owners along 17-92 and encourage them to make improvements to the rights-of way, such as removing one or two
parking spaces and allowing the City to plant a tree in its place.
Commissioner Jones asked if someth/ng could be done with some of the vacant buildings in Sanford, such
as the Chicken Coop, where weeds are grown up and junk has collected. City Manager VanDerworp reported the City
could do Code Enforcement on those properties, and the Chicken Coop property should redevelop with/n two years. The
problem might be that the City would be going in on "private property", even though it is abutting the right-of-way, and
assisting those owners in bringing their older commercial properties up to standard.

Commissioner Eckstein reported the City has to maintain what it has. The City can not increase its
personnel all that much in case ora recession, hard times, or if interest rates go the other way. The water front and the
Riverwalk, and how they tie into Fort Mellon Park, are very important. Instead of spending $100,000 or $200,000 a year
on 18th Street, the City needs to prioritize its projects, and keep the focus on the waterfront and Fort Mellon Park, where it
has been for the last four years. Fort Mellon Park needs to be upgraded, with or without a hotel or conference center, and
money needs to be spent there. Also, the City has to manage the number of employees that are hired every year because
the ad valorem taxes are not always going to increase the way they did this year. Mayor Dale reported the City needs to
focus any new efforts on Fort Mellon Park and the Riverwalk, and also on the Historic Sanford Memorial Park area, and
acquiring, renovating and developing it into a Recreation Center for the Community Center and Recreation Department.
[Mayor Dale left the meeting briefly and remmed.]
Commissioner Williams reported she would like the Commission to consider how to best utilize the
property on 13th Street. City Manager VanDerworp reported he hoped to use the Master Planning process to help define
the use of that property.
Mr. Kirby reported $25,000 has been spent on landscaping, benches, planters, hanging baskets, trash
receptacles, bike racks, etc. for Historic Downtown Sanford, and $50,000 was spent on the 2nd Street landscaping. Since
1996 $10,000 a year has been budgeted for planting more than 400 trees on the streets rights-of-way, and grant funds have
been requested from the Florida Division of Forestry to help finance the project and take out the old trees. He further
reported grant funding has been requested for future landscaping of the five mile area of SR46 from the Seminole Towne
Center into Sanford. Also, property owners along 17-92 from 1st Street to Lake Mary Boulevard have been encouraged to
enhance the landscaping.
City Manager VanDerworp reported money has been budgeted to upgrade the drainage system and the
lighting on 1st Street. When this is considered by the Commission it may be a good opportunity to consider some other
street scape level upgrades like were done on 2nd Street.
Mayor Dale reported Congressman Mica was instrumental in obtaining a substantial amount of money to
renovate the northern terminus of the AutoTrain in Lorton, Virginia, and to move the existing AutoTrain Station in
Sanford to Rand Yard Road.
Commissioner Williams would like to place on the agenda, sometime before the election, improved lighting
for the City of Sanford. She reported Sanford is a dark city, even the Historic D/strict, behind the old hospital, and other
areas. City Manager VanDerworp reported Jerry Herman, Public Works Director, is working with Florida Power and Light
to have a city-wide audit on lighting done.
Mike Kirby reported the biggest recreation program in Sanford is the youth baseball program; there are
thirty teams. There are also 27 youth basketball teams. There were Over 1,100 people who came to Sanford for the
Golden Age Games this year from nineteen states, Canada, Panama and Puerto Rico. City Manager VanDerworp reported
the economic impact on Sanford for the Golden Age Games was $1,500,000. Mr. Kirby reported the A. S. A. World
Championship Softball Tournament was held in Sanford this year, and last week Sanford was awarded the tournament for
three more years through the Central Florida Sports Commission. City Manager VanDerworp reported Staff will be
tracking the economic impact on Sanford for all recreation programs in the future.
Mr. Kirby reported the Recreation Department coordinated over sixty-eight special events last year. He
594
MINUTES
City Commission, Sanford, Florida

gave an overview of the funding and operational considerations for the Recreation and Parks Department, reporting the
City has averaged over $123,000 over the last five years with impact fees. Revenues over the past year were over
$200,000, with $100,000 being from entry fees for sports programs, $71,000 for the Civic Center, Cultural Arts Center,
and Park Shelters, and $20,000 from Cemetery plot sales, etc. Over $26,000 in donations was received from service clubs.
City Manager VanDerworp reported that for the next three years the major projects that are anticipated for
grant requests and impact fees are Fort Mellon Park at about $200,000 per year, and the Recreation Facility at about
$1,800,000. The biggest expenditure proposed is the renovation and upgrade of Hovnardan Park at $500,000 per year, but
that development could be pushed back if the Commission prefers to prioritize Fort Mellon Park and the Community
Center. Commissioner Eckstein reported he would like to push the Hovnanian Park development back. Mayor Dale
reported he would not make it a priority as a City Park, but if Lake Mary and the County wanted to make it a regional park
he would consider it. He would like to get with the District Commissioner and see if he wants to pursue a regional park
for this property. Mayor Dale reported one of the negotiating factors we have with the School Board is to find a place for
what they are using for the bus facility. City Manager Vanderworp reported he would get a site plan for it. The City
Manager reported Hovnanian Park would be put off for now, but if another entity proposed a regional park it would be
addressed at that time.
Mr. Kirby gave an overview of the potential staff that would be needed to maintain and operate all of the
proposed programs. The City currently uses contractual services for landscape maintenance at the Cemetery, maintenance
of the street rights-of-way at the mall, and the opening and closing of graves. [Commissioner Eckstein left the meeting
briefly and retumed.]
Mr. Kirby distributed maps showing the location of potential surplus property that might be disposed of in
the future. City Manager VanDerworp reported these are parcels that may be comer clips or vacant lots which have been
donated to the City, and the City maintains them but they are not heavily used by neighborhoods. He requested the
Commissioners look at these sites and give him some feedback on them. [Commissioner Lessard left the meeting.]
Mr. Kirby reviewed several flyers that the Commissioners received in their agenda packets that are given to
the public as information on City facilities such as the Civic Center, the Bettye D. Smith Cultural Arts Center, copies of
the Recreation Newsletter that is sent twice a year, and a pamphlet about all the parks and recreational facilities, as well as
a map pinpointing all the parks, recreation facilities and cultural facilities in Sanford. City Manager VanDerworp reported
the five year plan would be reworked, incorporating the comments of the Commission, and brought before the
Commission again in the future.
City Manager VanDerworp distributed the Police Department Status Report on police activities November
1 through November 15, 2000.
Interview of prospective board appointments.
City Clerk Janet Dougherty d/stributed a letter which was faxed to her office today from Douglas

Sharonda Wynn appeared before the Commission and reported she has lived in Sanford most of her life and
works in the Juvenile Division of the Seminole County Clerk's Office. She applied for the Nuisance Abatement Board
because she wanted to become more involved with Seminole County, and with Sanford specifically, and because of her
interest in youth. This Board seems to deal with prostitution, gangs and youth, and because of where she works, she is
very interested in the youth of Sanford. Because of the things that she sees as a trial clerk in the Juvenile Division, she
feels she needs to reach out more and become more involved. She would be available for the meetings once a month.
Sara Jacobson appeared before the Commission as an applicant for the Waterfront Master Plan Steering
Committee. Ms. Jacobson reported she is a native of Sanford and is interested in the downtown area because it plays such
a fundamental part in the development of Sanford. Sanford is in the path of a very aggresive northbound growth
movement and how that growth is handled in respect to the management of the development of Sanford depends on
whether Sanford inherits the negative or the positive aspects of the growth. She feels two of the outstanding features of
Sa/fiord that can seriously impact Sa/fiord are the high low-socioeconomic profile and the water front. In the past she has
served on the Planning and Zoning Board for Seminole County, the Code E/fiomement Board of Seminole County, and she
was instrumental in forming Sanford's Code Enfomement Board. She was instrumental in having the Historic
Preservation Board formed and in writing some of its guidelines. She served on the Library Advisory Board when it was
responsible for keeping the library in downtown Sanford, and she has served on the Downtown Business Association (and
the Greater Sanford Development Corporation) numerous times. She has been on the Scenic Improvement Board and
currently is involved in the Sa/fiord Advertising Co-op. She owns residential lake front property in the Mayfair
neighborhood of Sanford, and she owns two commercial buildings and two businesses in downtown Sanford. She reported
the water front includes the downtown commercial zone, specifically that area from the lake to 3rd Street. She will be
available to attend the meetings. [Commissioner Williams left the meeting briefly and returned.]
Barbara Knowles appeared before the Commission as an applicant to the Waterfront Master Plan Steering
Committee. She reported she has lived in Sanford since 1972. She is currently on the Boad of Adjustment and the
Historic Preservation Board of Sanford. The matin reason she would like to be on this Board is because she has no ties to
downtown, and she feels that a person without an investment in downtown can bring balance to the Board. She lives on
the south end of Sanford, and works as a Reserach Coordinator for the Orange County Regional History Center in
downtown Orlando. With her involvement on the other two boards, she is not sure she could handle the responsibility of
another board.
Jay Sheppard, an applicant for the Waterfront Master Plan Steering Committee, was not in attendance.
Rami Yosefian appeared before the Commission as an applicant for the Waterfront Master Plan Steering
Committee. He reported he has lived in Jeruseleum and New York City, and now lives in Sa/fiord. He feels he can bring a
vision to Sa/fiord as to how to bring together and combine the old and the new in the City. He has invested a lot of money
in Sanford because he believes it has tremendous potential. He has a lot of connections to bring investors to town, and act
as a liaison between the investors and the City. He is availbable for the meetings.

Presentation: 1962 Chevy Impala police ear - donation to City and restoration by William Campbell.
Chief Tooley introduced William Campbell and reported Mr. Campbell is donating a 1962 Chevrolet to the
Sanford Police Department and he is going to renovate it so it will look exactly like a 1962 Sanford Police vehicle, to be
used for parades, displays, etc. Mr. Campbell reported he restored a 1962 Chevrolet for the Seminole County Sheriff's
Department about two years ago. The Sheriff's vehicle belongs to Mr. Campbell but the Sheriff's Department has the use
of it whenever they desire, and it has been shown in over 100 different events. He has offered to donate a 1962 Chevrolet
to the Sanford Police Dement, with the understanding that the City will support the Police Department in continuing
the renovation of the car for Public Relations purposes. Mr. Campbell distributed pictures of the car he will be donating.
Chief Tooley reported the car will be used for parades, displays at City events, school events and D.A.R.E. program
activities, and events at the Mall. Several officers have volunteered to assist Mr. Campbell with the restoration of the car
and Mr. Campbell will pay for the cost of restoration. The City will carry insurance on the vehicle so that Mr. Campbell
can drive the vehicle if needed, and the City will also carry insurance on its own employees. Commissioner Eckstein

Presentation: 2000 A. S. A. Championship Tournament Award.
Kevin Coulthart of the Central Florida Sports Commission reported the Amateur Softball Association has
chosen to honor the City of Sanford with the James Farrell Award of Excellence for hosting and conducting the Men's
Supers at the Historic Sanford Memorial Stadium a few months ago. This was one of the highest rated A. S. A. National
Championships. Sanford has hosted this tournament for the past four years, and the A. S. A. has awarded the tournament
to Sanford for the next three years.
Citizen participation.
Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, reported the no smoking policy which was discussed at the
Work Session today is okay for new hires, but for existing employees it is a little irrational, unless it will be for all City
employees, including the Commission. Mayor Dale repo~ted this policy would only be for police and fire new hires.
Ms. Freeman asked what the cost of purchasing the Mellonville property would be, and if an exchange may
be considered. Mayor Dale reported an exchange has been discussed, as well as a site for a bus facility. Further this site
598

may be considered for the Stadium Parking, a Community Center and/or a center for some of the operations of the
Recreation Department.
Ms. Freeman asked if the ball fields in Fort Mellon Park would be left there, rather than building new
complexes, ifa Conference Center is not put on the property. Mayor Dale reported no, because the complexes that are
needed are for adults, and the fields in Fort Mellon Park are too small. City Manager VanDerworp reported adults play
there now, but they have to use overs/zed baseballs so the ball does not go over the fence.
Ms. Freeman reported the booklet listing the parks that was distributed at the Work Session does not list a
physical address for the parks. Also, the report that was provided to her by Recreation Director Mike Kirby regarding the
Swimming Pool situation was not very helpful because it does not give a breakdown of costs other than what was
projected originally in August. She reported if you average out the estimated cost of $142,000, and compare it to the
$10,000 that was taken in over the last six months, it needs to be addressed. It appears the City is losing a lot of money.
She reported maybe a City Swim Team would be beneficial, or possibly some activities during the summer to get more
people to attend. The Learn To Swim Program also needs to be increased. Mayor Dale agreed, and reported the
Commission has requested quarterly reports on the Pool.

Ordinance No. 3586 was read by title. Mayor Dale reported he has had ex parte communications with the
developer. Commissioner Eckstein reported he has had ex parte communications with Bill Gray, the Homeowners
Association, Mrs. Miller and the applicant. City Attorney Colbert reported in regard to the ex parte communications the
Commission should listen to the evidence presented and base its decision on the evidence before it, and not on the basis of
any ex parte communications.
Ted Buckley, 222 S. Westmonte, Altamonte Springs, the applicant, reported the developer met previously
with the homeowners after the Planning and Zoning heating to hear their comments. Subsequently, the developer
proposed changes to the plan to include larger lots, a minimum of 200 square feet of living area for all lots in the
subdivision, and no access onto Dogwood Drive. Mr. Buckley distributed a new proposed site plan which is a culmination
of all oftbe negotiations, and things the developer has agreed to do since the last Planning and Zoning heating, in which
the developer received a unanimous recommendation of approval based on certain conditions.
Mr. Buckley reported that the Planning and Zoning Board recommended that a six-foot high white vinyl
fence be installed at the time of development, but the developer feels that a fence on the Property without any activity on
the property would be vandalized and need repairs. He requested that the fence be put in by the builder during the
construction process. Also Lot 32, which is a narrow lot abutting larger lots, will be restricted to a one story house.
Mr. Buckley reported the three houses on the parcel right now will be preserved with one being moved to

Mr. Buckley reported another concern is what the developer would be required to do toward the
development of Vihlen Road. It is his understanding that the County has scheduled the paving of Vihlen Road with a cold
asphalt type topping. The developer is proposing to work with the County and upgrade the section of the road from Upsala
to the entrance of the proposed project. The developer would be willing to put in curbs and take the lead in the
construct/on oftbe road if the development occurred before the County was ready to pave the road. If the developer were
required to upgrade the road as an urban section per City requirements, a storm water requirement would be put on the
developer which would make the development unfeasible. Mr. Buckley reported there will be benefits to the Idyllwilde
subdivision by the development of this project, including improving the water pressure by looping the water system
throughout, possibly including reclaimed water.
A1 Green, 309 Dogwood Drive, reported there are several items the homeowners in Idyllwilde would like
the Commission to consider: First, they would like the fence completely built at the time of development to help alleviate
the vandalism within the development and to the existing properties surrounding the development. Sometimes it takes a
year or more for the development to be completely built out, and if the builders were putting in the fence at the time of
constructions, there would not be a continuous fence around the development for a long time. Also, the homeowners
would like a six-foot block or brick wall, rather than a vinyl fence. Another concern is the drainage from the Idyllwilde
subdivision through the new development. Also, Lot 39 should have access through the cul-de-sac, and Lots 37 and 38
should have access from Dogwood Drive, and be considered part of the Idyllwilde Subdivision. The wall should be
constructed so that them is no access through the cul-de-sac for anyone to cut through the yards.
Mayor Dale reported he thought it was unfair to fence off between similar residential zonings with a brick
wall at $60 a foot. He is not sure there will be vandalism because of the construction of$110,000 to $130,000 homes. Mr.
Green further reported that the homeowners want to be assured that the quality and value of the homes in the new
development are equal to, or better than, the homes in Idyllwilde, to maintain the value of their property.
Curtis Hoffman, 111 Maplewood Drive, reported he has a drainage problem that the City has refused, upon
multiple complaints, to do anything about. It has been improved, but it still is not good. The drainage is being drained
into a fifteen foot utility easement along the back of the lots. Also, he is against the vinyl fence because he does not think
it will keep the kids from going back and forth.
Carol Dennison, 305 Dogwood Drive, reported the bungalow on the proposed development was a
bunkhouse for cowhands, and for a while it was rented, up until fifteen years ago. It is now occupied by the owner's
mother six months of the year. It is a sub-standard house compared to the homes in Idyllwilde. It will front on Dogwood
Drive, and should not be rented.
Commissioner Eckstein reported he had ex-parte communications with Mr. Green.
Annette Lommerse, 631 Upsala Road, reported she would like to see a fence put up before the construction
begins.
Jane Saxson, 206 Dogwood Drive, reported the bunkhouse is too small to compare to the other houses on
Dogwood Drive. It has a living room, kitchen, one bedroom and one bath. Also, she lives on the comer, and she had to
plant an oak in the middle of her yard to keep people from driving across the yard. She would appreciate not having an
ingress/egress along Dogwood Drive except for the three houses.

Commissioner Jones reported maybe the bungalow should be tom down and the site redeveloped. Also, he
asked who would repair the vinyl fence if something happened to it. Mr. Bucktey reported fence repair would be a
Homeowner's Association upgrade which could be included in the homeowner's documents. Mayor Dale reported he
would like to see some specifications on the vinyl fence that will be used, because he has seen some fence that is very
attractive and lasts for a long time.
Mayor Dale reported it makes sense to limit Lot 39 to the cul-de-sac and deed the access fights on Dogwood
to the City. Also, the drainage problems need to be looked at. Mr. Buckley agreed to both these conditions. Mayor Dale
asked if there was going to be an entrance feature of some kind, and Mr. Buckley reported there will be. Mayor Dale
asked if, at the time the Site plan is submitted, the developer w/Il submit development conditions and restrictions so the
quality of the development can be considered. Mr. Buckley reported that is relatively easy to do but it is difficult to
objectively quantify some of the issues. Mr. Buckley agreed to erect the fence at the time of development. Commissioner
Eckstein reported he would like to see the vinyl fence, even if he has to drive somewhere to see it, and if he thinks it is
acceptable he will vote to pass this Ordinance on second reading, but if it is not acceptable he will not vote to pass it.
Commissioner Eckstein and the Mayor would like the bungalow torn down.

full time person for records only, the City Manager cannot commit to that one way or the other right now, but his goal is

money involved in the banquet ($1,000) should come back to the Commission as a policy decision.
Donna Watt, Finance Director, reported there is less than $100,000 available in the Law Enfomement Trust
Fund to spend on things other than School Resource Officers. Commissioner Eckstein reported he would rather spend the
$14,000 fi.om the General Fund than out of the Law Enfomement Trust Fund. Mayor Dale reported he would rather take it
out of the remodeling fund if the Chiefreally believes he needs the equipment. Chief Tooley reported there is not enough
money in the remodeling fund to buy the equipment and still do the remodeling. Mayor Dale reported there is enough
money to do whatever the Commission decides it wants to do with it. He further reported if the Police Department worked
with the liaison and came up with some plans of what they might want to do, the Commission could be informed about
what to look at in the budget. Chief Tooley reported they have an estimate for the remodeling of $180,000, and there was
$164,000 budgeted. Mayor Dale reported he has not seen anything come forward as to what the Police Department wants
to do with that, or with a timetable. Chief Tooley reported they have met with the architects, and Mayor Dale reported he
has not met with the architects. City Manager VanDerworp reported there are no final remodeling plans yet. The
Commission had some conceru that the Police Department had not gone through a bid process. Chief Tooley reported the
two other architects he has talked to were firms the City has used in the past for this sort of project. City Manager
VanDerworp reported he has informed the Police Department that they will need to go through the bid process for the
design/build portion of the remodeling. Mayor Dale reported that he will be glad to meet with the Police Department this
week and find out what the budget needs are and fund the equipment fi.om the General Fund.
