WORK SESSION
3. Presentation by the Visioning Steering Committee.
Deputy City Manager Tom George introduced this item. Committee
Members present include: Robert McKinney, Doug Groseclose, Sylvester Chang, Steve
Newton and Lindsay Oyewale. The members briefly reviewed the six key projects and
policies addressed in the Citywide Vision & Strategic Plan summary entitled Imagine
Sanford.
Commissioner Williams commended the Committee for a very thorough
job of coming up with a list of pertinent needs and concerns for the City of Sanford. She
has often said that she views Sanford as a diamond in the rough that the City government
needed to begin to polish so it can really shine. The City has begun to do that but she
can't see that the City will ever reach its fullest potential until the local City government
embraces the idea that there is a need for a comprehensive study of the depressed
communities and the addressing of those areas. She didn't see any of that in this plan.
Whit Blanton, Renaissance Group, said that the next step is to work with
the City Manager and Senior Staff on the six items and bring back suggestions to the
Commission at a Work Session as to which the Commission wants to identify as key
projects or strategies for the next year. The Committee made recommendations and
voted to ask for the Commission's full consideration of this Vision and Strategic Plan.
He will work with the City Manager to schedule some time when it is appropriate to meet
with the Commission.
Mr. Bonaparte expressed appreciation for City Staff who worked with the
