3. Agenda Items — additional information and/or questions.
Interim City Manager Tom George noted Item 7A, Public Hearing on
Solara Apartments Development Agreement, will be continued to November 22, 2010.
Mr. George stated that last Tuesday the voters made it very clear that they
desire the City Manager live in the city limits and he does not intend to move into Sanford
and felt the new Commission deserves to have their own professional City Manager. He
asked when could he return to Public Works noting he would like to be back there by the
end of March. He asked when the Commission would like to start searching for the new
City Manager, noting he will serve as long as or as short as the Commission desires him to
serve. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission for Mr. George to
continue to serve until a new City Manager is hired and to start the search for a
professional City Manager.
Commissioner Mahany presented Mr. George with a brochure on the new
Gun Range recently constructed on the Sanford Airport Property.
