REGULAR MEETING
Kowalsky Mattress, Sanford resident, asked the Commission to consider taking a
second look at Resolution 2008 -2099 which sets the minimum standard for utility bills. The way
it is currently written is unfair to the citizens. Mayor Triplett said that staff is looking into several
issues within the Utility Department including resolutions and ordinances. He said that discussions
and actions will take place over the next few months.
Alexander Duncan, Oviedo resident, said that he read an article in the Sanford
Herald about the City of Sanford turning over Fire and Police Services to Seminole County. The
largest City in Seminole County should not lose those services. He said that Sanford needs to take
ownership and represent the City as the County Seat.
13) CITY COMMISSIONER'S REPORTS
Commissioner Austin said that he filled in for Commissioner Mahany at Paw Park
for the (PAC's) art unveiling and that it was a great event. He said that he attended the Florida
League of Cities Conference which was a great learning experience.
Commissioner Woodruff asked about a certified letter he received pertaining to a
zip line accident that occurred at the Central Florida Zoo and staff assured him that it is being
handled by the City's Risk Manager. Also, he would like the Commission to have a discussion
surrounding the Utilities Department. Mr. George restated that there are several issues in the
Utilities Department and City staff is working to resolve them.
