The Chairman called the meeting to order.
Employee of the Month Award.
Mayor Dale presented Michael Uglione with the Employee of the Month award for October, 1999.
Strategic Planning.
City Manager VanDerworp reviewed the final draft of the "City of Sanford Strategic Plan 2000" which includes
progress made on actions over the past year, actions funded and programmed for FY 99/00, and action requiring additional
discussion prior to implementation, and requested direction regarding ~nalizing the plan for public consumption. A Status
Report table included in the Strategic Plan lists goals established by the Commission and identifies and prioritizes actions to take
and work programs and budget to meet the goals.
In response to Mayor Dale's question regarding public sidewalk repair, City Manager VanDerworp said the
sidewalks will be inventoried, priioritized, and placed on a multi-year improvement plan. He said Master Plans for the Goldsboro
and Georgetown communities will identify infrastructure and other community needs and improvements which will be funded
each year through City funds and grant funds.
Commissioner Lessard suggested removing the chain link signs located at major interchange entrances of the City
because they are in disrepair. Police ChiefTooley identified the need to remove/replace old neighborhood watch signs. Mayor
Dale said although the signs are provided on a volunteer basis, there should be standards and criteria which should be met. The
City Manager said that every major interchange entrance into the City is a gateway and will be landscaped and signed to let
visitors know we have pride in our City. The Commission concurred.
City Manager VanDerworp said Staff is compiling cost information to assess the ability for a low interest loan
to do all of the improvements to the Sanford Memorial Stadium all at once. There are County funds secured for the project and
there will be application for State grants and lobbying for inclusion in Agency budgets. The City Manager said he would provide
a proposal for a Memorial Stadium improvement loan at the November 8, 1999 Commission Meeting. The Commission
concurred.
City Manager VanDerworp said the Historic District has been enhanced through the addition of cultural arts and
there needs to be rejuvenation of the brick streets for it to be tinther enhanced. Mayor Dale said Park Avenue should be priority
and requested that Staff provide the cost per running foot to do the rejuvenation.
Commissioner Williams said Goal 4 is for City government, at all levels, to have the vision and leadership to
listen to residents' needs and make decisions and the commitment necessary to meet those needs, and suggested that a
focus group from each district be established to involve citizens in communicating the needs of their district.
City Manager VanDerworp said the City's tax base is expanded by promoting economic uses and high-end

housing in the City' s expansion areas. Action to be taken in FY 99/00 should include public property management and annexing
existing enclaves. Annexation will be handled through a referendum or an interlocal agreement with the County. The City
Manager's office will do a comprehensive property management program. Mayor Dale suggested the term high-end housing
be replaced with up-scale housing throughout the Strategic Plan document.
Commissioner Lessard noted the Plan includes the City demonstrating a business approach to service delivery
by benchmarking and continuously competing with the private sector for service delivery, and actions for FY99/00 lists the
evaluation of other services based on benefit to cost analysis and impact on service delivery. He asked what the City is currently
reviewing for consideration of privatizing. The City Manager said the maintenance department is being considered as well as
some fleet maintenance, and there are other service areas in which the City can compete with the private sector. He said he had
spoken with the Director of Recreation and Parks regarding maintenance, however, it was to be communicated to his employees
that the City is not looking to privatize, but how to better focus on primary areas of service delivery. Also discussed was the need
to evaluate any govermnent function to determine efficiency. The City Manager said he believes the philosophy of the
Commission regarding privatization is that critical tests have to be met, and the goal of the City is not to privatize for the sake
ofprivatizing, but to be more efficient and to provide better services in our primary service areas. [Mayor Dale briefly left the
meeting and returned. ]
Commissioner W'dliams expressed concern that priva~zing City services that have mostly black employees could
send the message that the City is trying to get rid of the black employees, and that the City does not need to decrease the
percentage of black employees.
City Manager VanDerworp said he will prepare an annual report to residents and bring a draft to the Commission
for approval. The Commission concurred.
Mill Creek Phase I!I-B retention pond.
Jeny Herman, Director of public Works, reported that engineering plans for the Mill Creek Phase III-B retention
pond/borrow pit have been received from Bishop & Buttrey. Per the City' s agreement with B & B, the area of the two retention
ponds was to be at least 35 acres with a separation for jurisdictional wetlands in between. Public Works Staff understood that
both ponds would be directly connected to the Mill Creek drainage system. The rules of the St. Johns River Water Management
District require that the south pond be isolated with an impervious clay liner to maintain the existing wetlands, which means the
two ponds cannot be connected and therefore reduces online retention to 20.71 acres. The 25.2 acre second pond is only
utilized under extreme peak conditions. Changing from 35 to 20 acres reduces pond effectiveness, however, it still provides
considerably more retention than the original 8 acres. Calculations show the 20 acre pond accepts a design storm greater than
25 year/24 hour and would approximately hold one of a 25 year/48 hour magnitude before reaching the original design peak
water elevation, therefore, Staff does not recommend changing fiscal terms of the agreement with B & B. Additionally, it is
recommended that only the property surrounding the north pond be transferred to City ownership, and ownership and
maintenance of the remaining southern portion be retained by B & B., because the City will not directly benefit from that
portion. The Commission concurred.
City Manager VanDerworp said discussions are continuing with Bishop & Buttrey regarding ownership and
maintenance of the southern portion, and changes to the contract will be brought to the Commission for consideration.

Art Lane Class HI Landfill - final use and cover alternatives.
Jerry Herman, Director of Public Works, reported that Public Works Staff and Glace and l~adcliffe, Inc.
personnel have discussed cover alternatives and final uses for the Art Lane landfill. The allocated funds for the closure of the
landfill is $632,871. The preliminary cost estimate to dose the landfill, with no public access, is approximately $560,000., which
provides the lowest cost to the City and includes engineering services, a synthetic barrier, and contracting all site work. The
site would only be accessed by City personnel in order to maintain the site.
Mr. Hennan said potential uses for the site include ( 1 ) a passive park with trails, benches, water, portable toilets,
or a City run nursery for shrubs, annuals, no large trees, or (2) intense use with water and sewer, paved parking, or building
structures (i.e. a park with athletic fields, or a City services facility). If a passive use is desired, closure costs increase about
$67,400., or $16,850. per usable acre. If an intense use is desired, closure costs increase about $115,400., or $28,850. per usable
acre. These estimates include costs for engineering services, additional permitting, and contracting all site work; they do not
include amenities for the chosen use.
After discussion, the Commission concurred that the landfill should be cleaned and maintained and to have some
type of minimal passive use.
Board appointments.
City Clerk Janet Dougherty reported there are two altemate member vacancies on the Code Enforcement Board.
The Agenda lists applications are on file from James A. Kidd and Dean Ray, however, Mr. Ray withdrew his application earlier
today. [Commissioner Eekstein left the meeting.] There is a vacancy on the Public Employees Relations Commission due to
the resignation of W. Garnett White. [Commissioner Eckstein returned.]
Regular Aeenda items, Add-on items, and other items.
(1) PH-4, second reading of Ordinance No. 3512 re: Reclaimed Water Rate Increase. Commissioner
Lessard reported he would vote against this item because he would like to sell the water at fair market value rather than hike
the prices to get the satisfaction of moving towards an end. He said the City is not getting top dollar with the current rate or
the proposed rate. Mayor Dale said he would vote for the ordinance because it isn't right for one group of users to subsidize
another group of users, and currently the potable water users are subsidizing the reclaimed water users. Commissioner Eckstein
said the cost of reclaimed water is a bargain. Commissioner McClanahan said the rate increase is a minor step and a necessary
step. Mayor Dale said the main reason for reclaimed water was to solve the problem with sewage because of no longer being
able to dump sewage into Lake Monroe. He said the business plan is to eventually have the reclaimed water become profitable,
not by raising the rates but by having a wider spread use, however, it takes time to implement the plan.
(2) PH-2, second reading of Ordinance No. 3504 to annex property on South Sanford Avenue. Mayor Dale
said the applicant has been working with the Mayor, the community, and the Lake Jessup Home Owners kssociation, and there
have been redesigns which address their concerns regarding the development of the property. Joe Baker doesn't want to proceed
with the annexation until he knows whether the Commission will send the fezone request back to the Planning & Zoning
Commission. The original fezone request was denied, however, the motion did not specifically say it was denied without
prejudice, therefore, it is necessary for the Commission to hold a public hearing to authorize the applicant to resubmit a fezone
application. Mayor Dale said the applicant has worked diligently to accommodate the requests of the concerned parties and
should be given the opportunity to submit a rezone application with a new plan. The applicant has requested that the annexation

MINUTES

be tabled indefinitely, so k will be necessary to re-advertise the public hearing.
(3) PH-1, second reading of Ordinance No. 3492 regarding the First Comprehensive Plan Amendment of
1999. City Manager VanDerworp reported a new map was submitted which daftties that the site at the Airport is totally within
the 65 dBA range, and the map will be transmitted with the Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
City Manaeer's briefing.
(A) CDBG Project awards (Item R-6). City Manager VanDerworp reported that Seminole County has
authorized a CDBG award in the amount of $50,000. for street light improvements for Goldsboro which requires execution of
an interlocal agreement between County and the City. Information regarding FP&L and their estimate to assist partially or totally
is still under study, and a request for amendment to the CDBG interlocal agreement will be forthcoming. Charles Rowe, Director
of Community Development, reported that he received a letter from FP&L stating it would cost approximately $3,000. for tree
rearing, modifying of existing locations, and pennit fees. The annual cost of the street lights would be $7,500. The interlocal
agreement is for a street lighting program where the City would own the lights; the City would purchase the lights and poles and
would install them. The annual cost would still be $7,500. When the interlocal agreement is executed, and after numbers are
fm_alized, if there are grant funds left over the City could request to be allowed to apply the remaining funds to another project.
(B) Emergency pay (Item R-4). City Manager VartDerworp reported the emergency pay policy was
amended a year ago, however, as a result of Hurricane Floyd it was determined there were glitches and inequities in the policy.
He recommended an emergency pay policy be established for straight hours worked and a straight overtime scenario because
of an inequity between hourly employees and exempt employees. The revised policy provides that employees in a non-exempt
(non-salaried) pay plan and considered as non-essential personnel and are not instructed to report to work will not receive pay
for the work day but may request leave with pay (vacation, personal absence or comp time). If they have no paid leave balance
available, 'their time will be reflected as "leave without pay." Commissioner Willjams said that an employee should not be
penalized because a decision is made that directs them to not report to work, and the employee should have the option of
reporting to work rather than use leave. Commissioner Eckstein said it may be necessary to tweak the ordinance.
( C ) PRA extension (Item R- 1 ). City Manager VanDerworp reported that PRA requested and received an
extension of the time frame to provide the feasibility study, and an additional sixty-day extension is being requested. A
representative for PRA was expected to be at today's meeting, however, because today is a holiday there will be no
representative present. The City Manager suggested giving an extension tmtil the next meeting in order to hear the presentation.
He said he would try to talk to Mr. Pacitti between today's meetings and will discuss it during tonight's meeting.
City Manaeer's evaluation.
The Commission discussed their individual and collective evaluations of the City Manager and concurred that
he should receive a 3% pay increase effective July 31, and a $2,000. bonus to be paid from the City Commission' s budget and
will be given at the same time the rest of the City employees receive 1999 bonuses. Action will be taken at tonight' s meeting.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Citizen participation.
A man reported that the City did a patch job on his driveway at 105 Grovewood Avenue, and he understood that
it would be repaired with concrete, however, he was later informed that it would not be repaired with concrete. Since the patch
job was completed, the sidewalk in from of his house is caving. He distributed pictures of the driveway/sidewalk to the
Commission. The City Manager is to have Staff check on the driveway/sidewalk and report back to the Commission.
Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, said she observed a sign on SR 46-A advertising that a new Kash and
Karry store will be opening and asked why additional stores are being built in the City when there are vacant stores. She asked

owner/developer builds the buildings, not the City.

Public hearing to consider second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. :t512 re: Reclaimed Water Rate Increase.
Ad published September 30, 1999.
Ordinance No. 3512 was read by title. Mayor Dale reported the Commission would hear from those persons
present to speak for, or in opposition to, Ordinance No. 3512.
Doreen Freeman, 705 Mellonville Avenue, said she received a brochure last week with new water rates which
established the rate for reclaimed water as ten cents, and asked why the brochure was published when there is a proposed rate
increase for reclaimed water rates. She said it was a waste of tax payer dollars. She said the rates reflected in the brochure
should be in effect for the next year and that she considers the brochure to be false advertising. She also said she resents potable
water users subsidizing reclaimed water users and she shouldn't have to pay for something she doesn't utilize since her house
is on a well. She asked if the reclaimed water rates are to be increased, then how much will the potable rates be reduced, so that
potable water users will no longer subsidize reclaimed water users. Mayor Dale said he doesn't propose to lower the potable
rates because the reclaimed rates are artificially low and will be increased so that the potable users will no longer have to
subsidize the reclaimed users.
Art Harris, 1108 Grove Manor Drive, said several years ago the City told residents if they signed up for reclaimed
water they would not have to pay to have the water brought to their house and that the rate would be five cents per thousand
gallons; since then the reclaimed water rate has increased to ten cents per thousand gallons. He said the Commission should
consider the principle of the increase, and that the ethics on this item are very low.
Martha Yancey, 2100 Cordova Drive, asked about the City' s agreement with the City of Lake Mary to provide
250,000 gallons a day for twenty-five years at no cost and asked if there was a way to work a deal with them to get some of the
water back. Mayor Dale said the agreement is binding and cannot be changed.
A woman requested that the Citizen participation portion of the meeting be reopened to discuss Ordinance No.
3502. Mayor Dale said the ordinance will be on a future agenda and it can be discussed at that time.
Commissioner McClanahan moved to adopt Ordinance No. 3512, entitled:

Condemnation Status Report.
Charles Rowe, Director of Community Development, reported the condemnation order regarding Ridgewood
V'~las will stmset on October 13. He said he had spoken with individual owners and explained the process of condemnation and
explained an extension of time could be requested by the owner or solvent entity and that a construction plan would have to be
presented with an associated chronology along with proof of fiscal ability to undertake the plan and chronology.
Jack Si~anni, and Mark Anderson, representing Mr. Shirkey, owner of thirty units, and Scott MeCurry of Coastal
Reconstruction were present to request that demolition activities not begin and that the owners be given time to complete the
plans and negotiations for reconstruction. A handout was given to the Commission which included the Ridgewood Villas
owner's request to halt demolition activities, and a letter to the Commission from HANDS (Housing and Neighborhood
Development Services of Central Florida, Inc.). Mr. Sirianni said the eondominium association has been reinstated, there is a
common consensus among the owners, and there is an insurance settlement of approximately $350,000. to $400,000. There
are past due assessments in the approximate amount of $30,000. He said that construction contracts have been signed. The
damaged area has been fenced and there are plans to fence the entire complex on Wednesday.
Mayor Dale said there is an outstanding utility bill due of $18,000. which is owed by Ridgewood Villas.
Mayor Dale said a financial plan proving the project could be financed would have to be provided, as well as a
set of plans which meet City Code including mechanical, electrical, plumbing framing and building. Once Staff has reviewed
the architect and engineer design and determines that City Code will be met, then an approved plan will be signed and permits
