Presentation by PRA Development & Management Corporation re: waterfront k Airport hotels.
Lynch Cottelto of Lynch; Joseph Pacitti, President; Steve Shemore; Jim Costclio; and Rami Yose~an were
present to speak on behalf of PRA. Mr. Pacitti presented several ideas for building a hotel along the waterfront in Sanford.
He reported the hotel would need approximately a five to six acre tract. Also, PRA would like to see an adjoining convention
center included in the plans. They have located three sites they may be interested in developing along the waterfront. PRA
is also still interested in developing a hotel at Sanford Airport.
The Commission concurred to have input from several citizens' groups such as the Waterfront Master Plan
Steering Committee and Main Street, and Mayor Dale suggested a joint meeting with these groups as well as the CRA and
Chamber of Commerce before making a commitment to the developers. It was decided that the developers are to present some
rough plans to be discussed with these citizens' groups in the next few weeks, then the Commission will have a better idea of
what the citizens want. The representatives from PRA left the meeting with Jay Martier, Director of Planning and
Development, to study the existing plans for the lake front.
Mayor Dale reported he has requested a meeting on Tuesday morning with Steve Cooke and Ron Weinburg to
discuss plans for a hotel on the Airport land, as well as other issues of concern to the Commission.
Discussion of City Manager's Contingency Fund as the fundinl~ source for Civic/Senior Center painting,
The Commission concurred with City Manager Simmons' proposal to use the City Manager' s Contingency Fund
for funding the painting of the exterior of the C/vie/Senior Center once all bids are received.
Board appointments/reappointments.
The Cemetery Committee recommended Thelma Mike be appointed as the sixth member of the committee.
The appointment will be voted on at the Regular Meeting tonight.
Regular agenda items and other items.
Mayor Dale reported the applicant has requested the first reading of Ordinance 3356 be tabled to August 25,
1997, and the Commission had no objection.
Commissioner Eckstein expressed concem over the arbitration fees for Tsunami Beach Club and reported that
sometimes the City Attomey' s opinion is unnecessarily requested. Also, other fees being charged by the City Attomey seem
to be exceedingly high as far as the hours spent on certain issues.
Mayor Dale agreed that some of the charges from the City Attorney' s office seem excessive. It was concluded
by the Commission that City Manager Simmons would speak with City Attorney William Colbert and ask him not to do such
extensive research on common issues and/or request a cost estimate before requesting opinions.

City Manal/er'S report.
City Manager Simn~ns reported a request has been received for emergency water service for property owned
by Dean Shoemaker on Old Lake Mary Road immediately south of 251h Street. It is in an endave that is fully serviced and
is annexable. City Manager Simmons recommended the Commission authorize emergency water service with the annexation
to be processed. The Commission concurred and City Manager Simmons reported he would go ahead with the annexation
process and place it on the Agenda for the August 25, 1997 meeting.
City Manager Simmons reported several citizens residing on Hartwell Avenue and Marshall Avenue have asked
the Commission to do something about an informal cut-through at the north end of those streets. Public Works did a letter poll
of the property owners of those two streets to see if they wanted the cut-through eliminated or formalize it as a paved street.
The response was strongly in favor of providing a cul-de-sac at the end of each of those streets and permanently eliminating
the cut-through. The Commission concurred to have City Manager Simmons give the autho'nzation to Public Works to proceed
with this project.
City Manager Simmons asked if the Commission would like to have a special Work Session in the Commission
Chambers to discuss privatization of the Solid Waste operations for the City. This meeting would include presentations and
answering questions. This is a public meeting and would include private firms and Solid Waste employees as well as the

extension.
The Commission discussed the flooding problems which occurred last week on Willow Avenue between 4th
and 5th Streets. Mayor Dale reported there are bad storm water systems in this area that need corrected. There will be more
information at the next Commission Meeting regarding options for this area.
Mayor Date reported that he and City Manager Simmons met with the potentially responsible parties on the coal
gasification plant. He informed them that the City was going to move for a site specific localized dean-up of the area and
would be working with the FDEP in doing so. City Manager Simmons reported that each of the five potentially responsible
parties that were represented at the meeting agreed to share the $25,000.00 cost five ways to determine to what extent and
quantity of material that actually needs to be removed from the site.
Commissioner Willjams reported reading an article in the Sanford Herald stating the deal between H.A.N.D.S.
and Pine Shadow Apartments has fallen through. Charles Rowe explained the deal fell through because an agreement could
not be reached between the bank, the owner and H.A.N.D.S. The Community Development Department has moved forward
with condemnation proceedings and will be coming back to the City Commission on August 25, 1997 for authorization to
initiate title search and demolish.

Presentation of 1996 Explorer of the Year Award.

Citizen participation.
H. L. "Lynn" Stogner, Jr. distributed a letter to the Commission and read the letter for the public. He expressed
concern overthe Commission granting special exceptions and permission to individuals who are not residents of the City, but
are business owners. In particular was the recent event at Tsunami Beach Club where there were drug arrests, violations of
the noise ordinance, alcohol sold to minors and parking tickets sold to 'park on land owned by the Expressway Authority. He
reported these are just some of the problems created by these outdoor events and questioned why the Commission keeps
granting permission for these events, even though they have led the public to believe the concerts would not take place any
more. He also questioned who will be investigating the selling of the parking tickets at the old Zayre Plaza.
Mayor Dale reported that he had put a stop to the selling of parking tickets at Zayre Plaza, and steps are being
taken to hold the responsible parties accountable. He further explained that Tsunami Beach Club did not need permission from
the Commission to hold an outdoor concert because they were not selling alcohol. He only suggested they come before the
Commission to request personnel for safety and parking. He assured Mr. Stogner that the Commission would not allow this
type of activity to occur again.
Mr. Stogner stated that enough facts have been presented to ask for an internal investigation concerning the
Commission, the Mayor and the City Manager. When Mr. Stogner had finished with his presentation, Mayor Dale questioned
if the Commission had satisfied him regarding the internal investigation or if he still wanted to proceed with that. Mr. Stoguer
stated, "Mayor, it is all part of the letter and you have a copy and if you think there is need for that, then proceed." Mayor Dale
asked the Commission if anyone had gotten any pecuniary interest out of that special event, or any other special favors at all
from this. All Commissioners responded, "No".
Mayor Dale announced the Citizens' Advisory Board will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, August 13, 1997
at 7:00 p.m. in the City Commission Conference Room.
Virginia Prendergast came forward and spoke regarding the recent event at Tsunami Beach Club. She stated
even though alcohol was not served at the event, people brought their own alcohol and were buying setups at nearby businesses
such as package stores and grocery stores. She reported she lives two and one-half or three miles away (in Stonebrook) and
could not hear her own TV while sitting in her living room. She felt the City Commission has betrayed the trust of her and
all citizens in protecting their safety and general well-being. She felt the police and fire personnel who were hired to work at
this event were being put in danger, and she felt that the opportunity was ripe for any young woman to be raped or violated,

and the City would be responsible because they prov/ded the venue. She stated she was fr/ghtened and afraid to go to that end
of tom. She asked the Commission to protect Sanford's women, young men, children and the City because people are
frightened.
Cynthia Smith of the Golden Rule Housing and Commumty Development Corporation came forward and spoke
on behalfofa proposal that has been presented to the Commission to consider matching $10,000 from the County for a down
payment on property to be used as affordable housing. The total cost of the property is $52,837.00 and it/s being held by the
United Negro College Fund. The UNCF said they would consider holding the mortgage if the Golden Rule could come up with
the $20,000.00 down payment.
Mayor Dale asked if Golden Rule had presented a Business Plan to the County as requested and Ms. Smith
reported she has not submitted it to the County as of yet, but she has submitted a copy to each of the City Commissioners.
The Commission reported they had just today received information on this proposal and would like some time
to review the information before considering action. Commissioner Williams suggested Ms. Smith request to be put on the
Agenda for the August 25, 1997 meeting, and Commissioner Eckstein suggested Charles Rowe, Director of Community
Development review the information and get back to the Commission with his recommendation. The Commission concurred
that this be listed on the August 25, 1997 Agenda.
Henry Sweet came forward and reported about six weeks ago he had submitted a request to the City to consider
conveying a lot on 13th Place in the subdivision of South Sanford. He reported he had received a response that did not seem
favorable.
Charles Rowe reported that Mr. Sweet' s father, Henry Sweet, Sr., had applied to the Community Development
office for housing assistance. He was one of the citizens in the Goldsboro area whose house had water damage beyond repair,
and Commtmity Development is relocating him and building him a new home. Part of that program is for the person to locate
a lot. Mr. Sweet found a lot that was 58' wide, in the Goldsboro area, the family chose a design, but the house was also 58'
wide. It was discovered that the City owns halfofa 50' lot contiguous to the property selected by Mr. Sweet. To facilitate the
construction of the particular unit that the family chose, they were asking the City to donate that half of a tot.
Mayor Dale reported he had not included this item on the Agenda because he questioned whether the City could
donate City property for a private use. He has not received an answer to that question yet.
Mr. Rowe reported that his recommendation to the original request to the Commission included three options:
1 ) allow Mr. Sweet to purchase the property at fair market value, 2 ) donate half of the property to Mr. Sweet and half to the
owner on the other side of the lot, 3 ) donate the entire property to Mr. Sweet.
City Attorney Colbert reported normally for a City to use public assets it would need to serve a public purpose.
If the City owns a piece of real estate it can seI1 it for market value. It could donate it to some charitable public or semi-public
corporation for a public purpose. The City could not donate or give public assets for a private purpose if it would only serve
a private purpose.
Mr. Rowe reported he had written a letter to Mr. Sweet after being informed that this item was not going to be
put on the Agenda for the August 11, 1997 meeting.
Mr. Sweet reported that when they originally chose this particular lot they thought it was all one lot, then they
found out it was actualIy two, one being owned by the City. He reported that since that original request they have made

arrangements to proceed with construction on the lot that they already have, and they are now only asking the City to become
good neighbors and maintain the contiguous lot by keeping it mowed and clean up the debris.
· Mr. Rowe reported that the house is being built through the Community Development Department with CDBG
funds and HOMFJSHIP funds. No non-profit other than the City is involved. The City' s property is really half a lot, which
is 25' with structures on either side. He reported there are no additional funds available to purchase this property from the City.
Mayor Dale questioned if we could sell the property on terms. City Attorney Colbert said that is a possibility, but just because
it is only half a lot does not mean it does not have value.
The Commission concurred to have an appraisal of the property done. Mr. Rowe agreed to make arrangements
for an appraisal first thing tomorrow moming. Mayor Dale reported the City would sell the property to Mr. Sweet on time.

Commissioner Lyons asked how they came up with their pay grade for the different positions. Mr. Cooke
reported that the pay grades have evolved over the years. They rely on surveys that are completed at airports across the country
as to what people should be paid at comparable airports. There is about a 5%- 6% step increase built-in, but they have not
always granted a full step increase.
Mayor Dale asked what capital improvements they have in the budget for this year. Mr. Cooke reported they
are looking at a 100,000 sq. It. dock high building (projected at $3,000,000.00), a hanger for CE Avionics (a grant they
procured about two years ago through a public solicitation estimated at about $700,000.00), a hanger facility for Cornair, a
hangar for the Seminole County Shefiff's Department (located in the vicinity of the new fire station and also a part of an FDOT
50/50 grant), fuel farm expansion by (3) 20,000 gallon tanks (with a loan approved by the Board), a touch-and-go runway
(budgeted at $2,000,000.00 that would be funded 5% by FDOT and 90% FAA participation), they have bids out fight now for
two 1,500 gallon A.R.F. trucks (90% FAA participation), extend taxiway Bravo (will be 90% FAA participation), build a
Security System (to be funded by FAA by the end of the year), an A.R.F. station (expect funding from FAA next month), and
bids are out right now for a cargo building (bids should be back on August 19, 1997).
Commissioner Lessard questioned how the relationship was between the Airport and Comair. Mr. Cooke
reported it was pretty good despite the changes at the airport in the last few years. They are trying to encourage Comair to stay,
as opposed to moving to another location, and build long term facilities in the southeast section of the airport.
Commissioner Williams asked what the projection is for domestic flights. Mr. Cooke reported they are working
on expanding their domestic flights. Right now they have scheduled service via Reno Air to Mississippi every day, and they
are going to have about 65,000 passengers through the end of this year. They still do not have a domestic carrier to go to
destinations such as Tallahassee or Miami, but they are working to achieve that. They have funding they have received from
the State which will expand the domestic terminal and make that facility more attractive.
Mayor Dale asked what other capital improvements are planned for the Airport, outside of the Airport
Authority' s budget. Mr. Cooke reported the County is building a four-lane access road on East Silver Lake Drive and bypassing
the south of the Airport to tie into 415. This is an off-site project but has a positive impact for the Airport Authority. Mayor
Dale asked if there will be any capital improvements to the terminal building. Mr. Cooke reported they are working with OSI
as to what they might do to expand the departure lounge.
In answer to Mayor Dale's question Mr. Cooke reported there are no unleased facilities right now.
Commissioner Lyons questioned what benefit the average citizen receives ~'om the Airport. Mr. Cooke reported
they benefit from jobs (about 700 new jobs last year with more'expected), taxes (City and County), and expanding scheduled
service.
Mr. Cooke agreed to keep the Commission informed of any decisions made in connection with Cornair, in
response to Mr. Lessard's concerns.
Commissioner Willjams questioned if they have contemplated working with LYNX for bus service to the
Airport. Mr. Cooke reported they are working with LYNX fight now to establish a route that will come within the vicin/ty of
the terminal. Commissioner Willjams also would like to see more rental car agencies at the Airport. Mr. Cooke reported that
Dollar (which is at the Airport now) grossed between $35 and $40 million last year.

tied to the Consumer Price Index that moves from year to year.
Mayor Dale reported there were representatives from Greene and Dycas present if anyone had any questions
for them. Commissioner Lyons requested any comments from Commissioner Eckstein he wished to give since he was the
liaison on this issue.

recommended some type of signage be at the location to direct visitors, however he believes the Commission would be setting
a very bad precedent-to approve a private sign on public property. Further, this is a snipe sigrt He would prefer a directional
sign with multiple business listings.
Commissioner Lyons reported Magnolia Square has shown signs of disrepair including rotted wood in the
benches and loose bollards on the south end and someone should come up with a design concept of what that Square is going
to be and go with it. The Square has the potential to be a gathering place, and it should be, but it needs some attention. He
would like to see it spruced up a little bit.
Commissioner Lessard reported that Main Street has come up with some plans to increase the use of the
downtown area.!
Mayor Dale reported somebody has to be in charge to make sure Magnolia Square doesn't come into disrepair.
He requested Magnolia Square be put on the facilities maintenance Iist and maintenance done on a continuing basis.
Commissioner Lessard reported Main Street should monitor the Square and report to the Commission any
problems.
Commissioner Lessard moved to approve the temporary sign for sixty days. Commissioner Eckstein seconded
the motion for discussion.
Commissioner Eckstein cautioned the Commission that by allowing this sign they will be setting a precedent.
Commissioner Lessard reported he hated to see anybody try to start a new business without some type of
directional sign.
Commissioner Lyons reported that in the past the Commission has said no one could have anything on the
sidewalks except for a minimal display, and if this sign is allowed what is to stop other people from doing the same thing.

voting on each separately. Mayor Dale requested the Commission to set a policy to vote on the petition and the Ordinance at
