community twice a month. He invited Ms. Mincey to attend his community meetings.

Mario Hicks, resident, said 60% of the voters voted yes to move forward with six
districts and he has a hard time understanding why the City does not want six districts.
Reverend Oliver, resident, said he is a little disappointed regarding not allowing the
public to speak and that the City is not able to find the court order. He wants to ensure there is a
black vote in Sanford and going to six districts will guarantee a minority vote. He said he does not
trust lawyers and wants evidence.
Commissioner Williams said she was a Commissioner for 21 years and many things
happened. There should be a document somewhere that refers to the minority/majority districts,
which enhanced her opportunity as a Commissioner. She asked the Commission if they have read
the lawsuit and if they understand why it was filed and why it was needed, and if they think, blacks

should be represented. She is for the six districts and feels that the City needs to embrace the
Charter.
Michelle Dewey, resident, asked if the City could hear the compassion of the

trees.
13) CITY COMMISSION REPORTS
Commissioner Britton said the flowerbeds on 1St Street look terrible and would like
a status of when they would be replaced.
Commissioner Britton said the homeless population is getting out of control. She
said visitors are getting off the shuttle or the trolley and as soon as they get off they are being
approached by homeless people pan handling and their belongings are all over the place. Chief
Smith said there is an Ordinance for aggressive pan handling. The department is doing its best to
assist with the homeless and is working with Parks and Grounds and Public Works. He said some
people do not want the help.
Commissioner Wiggins said he was able to congratulate two new homeowners in
Goldsboro with Habitat for Humanity.
Commissioner Wiggins said he is not going to apologize for all the work he does
with the youth. He said he also helps the elderly. He said the residents should attend his community
meetings every month so they can find out exactly what is going on.
Mayor Woodruff reminded the Commission to push the Community Clean up in
their districts.
