Police Chief Smith said that the Police Department is requesting approval
of a budget resolution in the amount of $85,000 (impact fees) that would allow the Police
Department to purchase a Watch Commander Vehicle. He showed 2 video clips of this
type of vehicle. The purchase of this vehicle will significantly enhance the Watch
Commander's ability to coordinate a major crime scene, traffic crash scene or disaster
related event. The vehicle will provide a mobile command and control platform which
will include but not be limited to providing enhanced electronic communication
capabilities, multiple computer docking stations, white boards for diagramming the
details of a scene, ample space for the storage of specialized law enforcement
investigative and/or response equipment, and flood lamp lighting. This capability will
significantly enhance the ability to not only coordinate state of the art law enforcement

4. Discussion re: 3`1 Generation Sales Tax.
Bilal Iftikhar, Public Works Director, said that in 2011 the Board of
County Commissioners let the penny sales tax expire and they now want to bring this
sales tax back. It will be brought forward by referendum in May 2014. He said that is a
good tax for the City of Sanford and he would like to see the Commission support this.
City Manager Bonaparte stated that he attended a meeting last week in regards to this tax
and that some of the cities in Seminole County feel that they should receive a higher
percentage of the tax. He said some of the other cities feel that if the percentage amount
is not increased they may not support bringing this tax back.
5. Briefing Items.
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 10, 2014
WORK SESSION
City Manager Bonaparte asked Mr. Iftikhar to provide an update to an
unfortunate incident that occurred several weeks ago in the area of Ft. Mellon Park in
which a child was hit by a car. He said that Public Works was asked take a look at what
other safety measures could be put in place. Mr. Iftikhar passed out a map with the
current stop sign locations on Seminole Blvd. in the park area. He said that there is
currently a stop sign in 2 locations and he recommends putting a stop sign at location 3 as
depicted on the map. City Manager Bonaparte asked the City Attorney what it takes to
get a stop sign at that location and he said that it does not take a vote; however, it needs a
consensus from the Commission. Commissioner M °Carty said that he disagrees with a
stop sign. There was a consensus of a majority of the Commission to add a stop sign at
location 3.
6. City Manager Comments.
City Manager Bonaparte said that there are several other items for
discussion that will be presented at tonight's Regular Meeting such as the LIHEAP
Program and the demolition of several structures. Lastly, he said that he attended a
meeting with Tom George, Deputy City Manager, regarding the Solid Waste Contract
with the Seminole County School District and at this time the City Attorney's office is
continuing to research this item.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:28 PM.
