13) CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
The following people spoke regarding the negative impact that the noise from the
SunRail maintenance yard has had on their property and their quality of life: Jeremy Meyer, Joe
Torresin, Quinton Robertson, Joseph Casullo, and Paul Aaron.
Art Woodruff, on behalf of the Community Improvement Association, gave an
update regarding Hopper. There have been changes to the Board structure with new Board
members. They have been looking at some covenants that would be required by the State and
the City if there is an arrangement made for the grant. They will be meeting with an end user
who hopefully will bring significant resources and provide stability for Hopper.
Teresa Henderson spoke regarding a light pole installed by the historic
preservation people; one of the lights is hooked up to her apartment and the electricity cost is
very high; the lights are not being maintained; her realtor tried to contact the president of the
home owners association but to no avail. Mayor Triplett asked Staff to reach out to the Sanford
Historic Trust president to express Ms. Henderson's concern to see if something can be worked
out with the Trust.
Robert Segal, Sanford River Rats Advisory Board member, spoke regarding
signage at the Historic Sanford Memorial Stadium. There is no signage from the middle of May
through the season of July advertising that the Rats are playing. He asked that the Commission
consider asking Staff to work with the Rats starting a few weeks prior to May to allow signage
that the stadium is the home of the River Rats and advertise their playing schedule. People
driving up and down Mellonville will then be aware that the Rats are playing.
