Ron Rose, Executive Director, Sanford/Seminole County Chamber of Commerce, introduced members of the
Chamber's Executive Board: Bob Parsell~ President; Helen Stairs, Past-President; Jeff Triplett, Vice-President; and Brian Volk,
Treasurer.
Mr. Rose referenced his letter to City Manager VanDerworp, dated March 22, 2000, expressing appreciation
for the City honoring the request for early allocation of funds from this fiscal year' s Chamber Services Grant. He presented the
Chamber's Status Report covering the first and second quarter period of the current fiscal year, as required in the Grant. The
Chamber, in cooperation with Commissioner Williams and Charles Rowe, Director 'of Community Development, took the lead
in organizing and promoting the Front Porch Florida program which seeks to rebuild neighborhoods through a redevelopment
process that is neighborhood asset based, community focused, and relationship driven. The Goldsboro neighborhood was not
chosen as one of the first Front Porch Florida communities, but through the Chamber's ongoing efforts, Sanford is well
positioned for establishment as a Front Porch community in the future. The Chamber recently assisted the International Council
of Central Horida in hosting Russian business leaders. The Chamber' s official Sanford Welcome and Business Referral Center,
operated from the Chamber office in historic downtown, continues to attract an increasing number of visitors. The daily visitor
count has increased from 25 per day last year to 30 per day. Since October 1, 1999, approximately 3,600 walk-ins and 5,350
phone, mail, and e-mail inquiries have been assisted. Visitors have traveled from twenty states and Canada and England.
Inquiries by phone average 40 per day. An information brochure rack is maintained at the Amtrak Auto Train Station. The
Airport booth which is manned Thursday-Saturday, assisted 2,955 international visitors during this period. Discussions have
recently been completed between the Seminole County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Orlando Sanford International, and ICE
Currency Exchange Services to increase the responsibilities and hours at the Chamber's Airport information booth. The
information booth will operate seven days a week during the summer peak season and will handle currency exchange, flight
information, visitor information, Chamber member business referrals and airport information, with the cost being divided between
the participating organizations. The Chamber met with BellSouth officials and members of the Florida 1-4 high tech corridor
to bring attention to the need for telecommunications fiber optic cable in north Seminole County. The Chamber has worked
closely with Orlando-Sanford Airport officials, Pan American Airlines, the Chambers of Commerce in Gary, Indiana and
Portsmouth, New Hampshire to organize or assist with six familiarization tours of our area. The Chamber's Education
Committee organized a Realtors Tour which was held in November and toured Goldsboro Elementary School and Seminole High

School. A job shadowing between selected business members and Compact students from Seminole High School was held in
February. [ Mayor Dale briefly left the meeting and returned.] The Chamber recently assisted the Sanford Museum and local
veterans in establishing a Navy Memorial at the Orlando Sanford Airport to honor Navy veterans who were stationed at
Sanford' s former Naval Air Station and lost their lives during service to our country. The Mayor' s Round Table event has been
scheduled for April 18, 2000 at the Chamber. The Chamber assisted with getting the Ritz Community Theatre opened and has
helped with the grand opening of the Helen Stairs Theatre which will be May 6. There will be a Sports Hall of Fame located
at the theatre. The Chamber has forged an alliance with the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce as a result of economic
development efforts and their interest in the community regarding a direct flight to and from Sanford to Puerto Rico, the east
coast cape for shipping opportunities, and affordable housing. The relationship with the Bahamas continues to flourish.
The Commission will take action at tonight's Meeting regarding the Agreement between the City and the
Sanford/Seminole County Chamber of Commerce for the term October 1, 1999 to September 30, 2000.
Police Department update.
Police Chief Brian Tooley and the Police Department management team were present to present and discuss
Commission and community issues, department initiatives and issues, and direction for future decisions. Commission and
community issues include downtown problems, extended hours at Goldsboro Community Center, thefts/drugs, speeding,
neighborhood watch signs and noise complaints..ChiefTooley said the Police Department is using an overtime grant to increase
police presence downtown, in the Goldsboro community, and the Historic District by utilizing the bike patrol special tactical unit.
Hours have been extended at the Goldsboro Community Center and the tactical unit is there on Friday and Saturday night from
6:30 P.M. to 3:00 A.M. [Mayor Dale briefly left the meeting and returned.] The bicycle patrol is very effective in handling theft
and drug situations and the department has a good parmership with CCIB which has a joint task force throughout the county.
Decoys and undercover officers will be used to handle theft. The speed wagon will be used as a traffic survey tool and to make
drivers aware of their speed. The Public Works Department is fabricating and installing 100 new neighborhood watch signs to
replace worn out and faded signs. Neighborhood noise complaints are being handled and enforced through utilizing a laser radar
gun to measure the distance of sound. The driver of a vehicle playing loud music which can be heard from a 100 foot distance
will be issued a citation.
Department initiatives and issues and community outreach and image include operation knock-knock, a
commendation/complaint brochure, website, community meetings, volunteer program, chaplain program, neighborhood watch
revitalization, and OSA vehicle. Operation knock-knock is an opportunity for officers to become acquainted with the community
by visiting residences and distributing a bag containing information regarding the Police Department (a bag was distributed).
A commendation/complaint brochure is used by the public to commend an officer or complain about an officer (a brochure was
distributed). A complaint is handled through an impartial investigation and necessary action taken to remedy. The website
provides information regarding the department as well as an opportunity for the community to help fight crime by e-mailing
suspect information (a handout was distributed). Community meetings are attended by police officers (a handout was
distributed). The civilian volunteer program allows citizens to become involved in the department to help save Staff costs by
assisting in areas where there are not enough personnel (a brochure was distributed). The chaplain program is represented by
Ed Manning and Jordan BeckneE A draft policy has been written outlining the police chaplain Iprogram's purpose, duties,
qualifications and responsibilities (a printout was circulated). Because Community Service Officers assigned to specific

Community Service Areas work different shifts, some of the overtime grant dollars are being spent to allow CSA's time to meet
to discuss problems and situations in their particular CSA's. One topic of discussion is the revitalization of neighborhood watch
programs in their particular CSA's. The airport is very important to the image of the City, and in response to the Mayor's
suggestion to provide a new police vehicle at the airport, a 2000 Crown Victoria was transferred to the airport.
Internal operation items include an auto theft task force, MCT training/technology, DUI traffic enforcement,
staggered shifts, Lieutenant coverage, use of non-sworn positions, annexations, and supervisory training. Chief Tooley said there
is one detective assigned part time to the multi-county auto theft task force and a grant has been applied for to assign a full time
detective. The Sheriff has requested the detective be co-located at their headquarters auto theft unit. Partnering with the
SherifFs office in dispatching has given a short cut way to gain MCT technology. Most of the officers have had eight hours of
MCT trig which covers teletype, CAD, dispatch system, report writing, etc., and most of the officers are using their laptop
for dispatching and report writing. Internet and e-mail is going to be made available to those officers who need to have access
to research and to keep in touch with other police departments. Increased development in the City will have an impact on traffic
A grant is being applied for to provide one officer to be dedicated to DUI traffic enforcement, and two
Lieutenant Presley discussed staggered shifts and said there is a delay of thirty minutes from the day shift to night
shift. The City is divided into section one, the east side, and two, the west side. Section one is on duty at 5:30 and section two
is on duty at 6:00. The patrol works twelve hour shifts and an 86 hour pay period work schedule. Various options of shift
scheduling are being reviewed to determine the most effective way to have patrols on the street. The patrol Lieutenant's
coverage is handled by himself and Lieutenant Brewer. Every Monday there is a management team meeting and both work
during the day on Monday. The rest of the week one works the day shift and the other works the night shift, with an overlap
of one to one and a half hours during which there is a meeting to discuss ongoing issues. At other times there is contact available
through text pagers and MCT messaging, and the telephone. In response to Commissioner Eekstein's question of where the
Captains are in the evening, Lieutenant Presley said they work during the day and are at home in the evening. Commissioner
Eekstein said there is no need to have two Captains on the day shift and requested there be a Captain on duty at night as well
as a Lieutenant. ChiefTooley said there is more than enough administrative work for the Captains to handle during the day but
they do come in from time to time at night. Mayor Dale said the Police Department is working on written directives and
reorganizational administrative procedures and the Captains have been working really hard to rebuild the Department.
[Commissioner Eckstein briefly left the meeting and returned].
Chief Tooley said the Police Department is committed to using non-sworn personnel in the capacity of CSO's
and CST's, and all CSO's will be sent to accident investigation school to relieve sworn officers of hundreds of hours a year that
are tied up in traffic accidents. The CST's (crime scene technicians) are currently handled by sworn positions but will be
reassigned to the street and a grant will allow two civilian technicians to assume those positions. It is the intent to civilianize
as many positions as possible in order to have sworn officers on the street.
Annexation information is provided to police personnel to familiarize themselves with the annexed area so
response time is as quick as possible. One person is responsible for maintaining the annexation board and one person faxes the
information to the CAD manager at the Sheriff's office to enter into the system within hours of receipt of the information. The
Police Department will respond to a call and if it is determined the call is not in the City, then assistance will be rendered and

The SPI (Southern Police Institute) and FBI National Academy are top management programs and it is the
Department's intent to have as many officers as possible attend. There is a waiting list for the FBI Academy and the soonest
a slot is available is approximately two years. Diversity and sensitivity training is provided through eight hours of training and
all officers will get training on this topic (a handout was distributed) as well as an additional two hours of training each month.
In-service training is handled on various subjects: report writing, customer service, guidelines for professional performance, result
oriented policing, and pillars of character.
An honor and color guard is being organized and will be available for parades and civic events.
Chief Tooley said the State is moving toward requiring police officers to have a two year degree, and formal
education will be the determining factor for promotion.
The written directives policy is being re-written and will be distributed to every officer at one time and an allotted
time will be given to learn the policy.
The Police Department has several vacant positions and recruitment is being handled through an open posting
as opposed to a limited posting. In an effort to enhance the image of the department, items added to the application process are:
pre, screening selection, writing sample test, on the spot testing, and fast tracking quality recruits through conditional job offers.
The Police Department is negotiating to rent a driving simulator which will be used for pursuit scenarios and to
test officer's driving skills.
Captain McCoy distributed a CompStat Report of calls handled through the Seminole County Sheriff's Office
for the period of February 27, 2000 through March 4, 2000 and said the Sanford Police Department has been lacking a
management reporting system. He said it is difficult to make logical decisions without having material to make decisions as to
where to place emphasis on using resources. The Department presently has three different record keeping methods which
creates a problem with UCR (uniform crime reporting). An automated system is needed to collect data, and the Sanford Police
Department will be mimicking the record keeping of Seminole County, using CompStat.
Chief Tooley requested direction from the Commission regarding a downtown substation, citizens on patrol,
public safety, and the SRO at Seminole High School. The Commission requested cost information to have a police substation
downtown in the Old Post Office building. The Commission requested cost information and training requirements to implement
a Citizens on Patrol program. City Manager VanDerworp said a proposal will be presented to the Commission regarding a long
range plan for a new public safety building. Chief Tooley said the Sheriff's Office requested that the City provide the SRO at
Seminole High School~ with the School Board funding fifty percent of the salary. The City Manager said he would bring
information back to the Commission regarding this item.
Chief Tooley said the Police Department is committed to excellence and pledged to provide the very best in police
service and to become the best Police Department in Seminole County.

Rich Cleary, General Manager, Mayfair Country Club, distributed to the Commission pictures of the golf course
and reported the golf course is extremely dry and burned due to lack of water, that the City has not honored its commitment to
provide an average of 630,000 gallons per day, and they had expected the water Friday night and had applied fertilizer which
then burned the course when they could not water. At the time they received word on Friday afternoon from Bill Marcous,
Reclaimed Water Coordinator, that they would not receive water Friday, they had already applied the fertilizer. They were
unable to speak with Bill Marcous and did not attempt to contact any other City employee or official. They did have water on
Sunday, but that was not a day they were programmed to water, so they had to call the emergency phone number for Dobson
to request them to come reprogram the system so it would operate that day, but there was no answer at the emergency number.
Also, Timacuan received its full amount of water Friday. Paul Moore, Utilities Director, reported that the 630,000 gallons per
day commitment is an annual average, that Timacuan and Mayfair are both treated the same, and that the City does try to get
the golf course as much water as possible.
Mayor Dale reported he would check the situation with the City Manager and the Utility Director.
Joan Campbell, 229 Yale Dr., Sanford, President of Academy Manor Neighborhood Association, distributed to
the Commission a letter regarding Academy Manor Park safety and reported a dangerous situation of concertina "razor" wire
falling down from the top of a wall around the Academy Manor Park, that the children do not like to use the park because it
looks like a prison because of the razor wire and barbed wire on top of the wall, and requested that the razor wire and barbed
wire be removed and the wall height increased two more levels with blocks if necessary. She is not aware of any problems at
the neighboring businesses and wants to see police reports of reported problems. Further, alarms at neighboring businesses go
offa lot. She requested this item be placed on the next agenda to see how this can be resolved. Mayor Dale reported the City
will have to find a solution to this situation. Further, he said that the neighboring industrial park businesses have had tremendous
vandalism and theft problems which lessened after the concertina wire was installed.
