1) Interview applicants for the Planning and Zoning Commission. (Regular Item No. 9.E) [Commission Memo 09-045]
The Commission interviewed three applicants: Jerry Mills; John G. Metsopoulos and Nancy Palmieri.
2) Funding request for State of the County/Regional Chamber event - discussion.
Seminole County Commissioner Michael McLean gave an update on the Regional Chamber event to be held
February 13, 2009 at 11:30 A.M. at the Altamonte Springs Hilton, and stated they are hoping for 100% attendance of elected
officials from all Seminole County municipalities. Mr. McLean did not request any funding at this time.
3) Sanford Airport Authority FY 07-08 Audit - presentation.
Mayor Kuhn congratulated Mr. Larry Dale, President of the Orlando-Sanford Airport, on the long standing
JetAire case being settled. Mr. Dale introduced Kelly Leary, McDermott, Davis and Company, who reviewed the Management
Letter and audit report noting that the Airport had a great year.
......
Commissioner Jones asked that Mr. Dale provide a separate schedule of assets (staff's ball-park opinion)
.....
that have asterisk (clarifying) notations. Mr. Dale stated he will provide this separate schedule.
4) Sanford Airport Authority Lease Agreement - discussion. [Commission Memo 09-047]
Mr. Yehl apologized for not having a formal Commission memorandum prepared. He reported the proposed
lease agreement term is for 50 years and suggested the Commission consider whether it is in the best interest of the City to
maintain the dependent status with the Sanford Airport Authority, rather than an independent board and remove the City's
involvement which would require state legislation. He noted the City has relatively little true authority over the Airport
Authority. Assistant City Attorney Lonnie Groot reviewed lease concerns stemming from a conference call with co-counsel
Attorney Dan Rheimer. Suggestions included: (1) listing services the City provides to the Airport; (2) articulate the current
status of Police and Fire services provided by the City; (3) make it clear that the City is a "non-sponsoring local government"
Mayor Kuhn stated she is leery of long term leases and felt municipalities get the "short end of the stick".
....,
!
...."
and that Sanford Airport Authority is the sponsor.
She felt the three items outlined above should be addressed. Mayor Kuhn stated the Airport is Sanford's largest asset and felt it
was very important not to lose it. Commissioner Woodruff asked that language be included that the Airport be required to fund
relocation of utility lines, not the City, to the extent possible. Mr. Yehl stated that he will bring the revised lease agreement back
..,
at the next meeting for approval.
.....
5) Sanford Housing Authority - discussion with SHA members.
Mayor Kuhn stated this item will be on the next agenda due to a miscommunication.
6) Public Safety Complex - status report. [Commission Memo 09-040]
Fire Chief Ransom stated that the Project was on schedule.
7) Hopper Academy - discussion.

City Commission, Sanford, Plorida Work Session January 26, 2009
E00514441DW
Mr. Y ehl state~ that the City has been providing some support to Hopper Academy in a variety of ways
and asked for direction as to how much staff time the Commission wants allocated to this project, referring to the "one hour
rule". Christine Dalton has offered her services and expertise with some time taken from her City duties and staff was asking
for permission to assist as needed. It was the consensus of the Commission that her supervisor, Russ Gibson, balance her
duties and allow Ms. Dalton to assist as long as it doesn't take away from her assigned regular duties. These parameters will
be applied city-wide.
