CITY COMMISSION MINUTES
JULY 109 2017
WORK SESSION
This was a request for discussion by Commissioner Woodruff. Sanford
residents Zach Waters, Daniel Lewis, Paul Williams, and Cynthia Santos of Keeping
Sanford Sparkling spoke on this issue. Mr. Lewis said that he would like to see the
littering problem addressed as a City /Community project. Sanford is a community with
great volunteers. The group meets once a month to clean up. Mr. Williams suggested that
the City help by placing more signage throughout the City and enforcing the penalties for
littering. Mr. Waters mentioned that this is a great volunteer opportunity for high school
kids that may need community service hours. Ms. Santos said the issues in Goldsboro are
similar but different. She said that the area has many abandoned homes, cars, and
property. She would also like to see more signage as well as additional trash receptacles.
The next clean up event will be held on September 10, 2017. Mayor Triplett said that this
is a continued effort. Mr. Bonaparte said that City staff will meet with the citizens and
formalize a working plan. He also said that he will reach out to Waste Pro about
receptacles.
4. Discussion re: Charter Review [Commission Memo 17 -228]
Assistant City Attorney Lonnie Groot, reviewed the 2007 Charter Review
process with the Commission and asked how they would like to move forward. There
was a consensus of the Commission to select ten (10) voting members, one (1) non-

Mr. Groot. A Resolution will be presented for action on July 24, 2017

voters; however, he has done some extensive research and reading and he no longer feels
that way. City Attorney Colbert explained that if the Commission chooses to extend the
moratorium, it cannot be extended beyond January 19, 2018. This is an action item on
tonight's agenda.
B. Mobile Food Vendor Application [Commission Memo 17 -226] (RM 8.E)
Project Manager Chris Smith said that another mobile food vendor has
come forward and is requesting to sell shaved ice. Commissioner Austin said that the
Commission should consider a policy on how many vendors to allow in the area of Ft.
Mellon Park. Deputy City Manager Tom George suggested that the City staff consider
setting aside an area in the park for vendors and remove them from the street. Planning &
Development Services Director Russ Gibson said that he will be bringing this forward at
the next Work Session. This is an action item on tonight's agenda.
Mr. Bonaparte distributed a revised agenda memo for Item 8.13, the budget
amendment for the North Shore Rigging Platform Project. The original memo mentioned
