Sylvester Chang reported that he is unhappy about the Charter vote
regarding the City Manager residency and that County residency should be ok. In his
dealings with City employees he is told that Mr. George is the best City Manager ever in
their tenure and it grieves him that Mr. George cannot be kept as City Manager. We
should not lose someone of his talent who is loved by the employees; it is a value that
cannot be measured in dollars or any way.
Sanford Police Sergeant Dave Morgenstern thanked Mayor Triplett,

CITY COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 28, 2011
REGULAR MEETING
Commissioner Mahany and Staff for assisting with packing food for the needy people in
Sanford.
13) CITY COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS.
Commissioner Williams said that Mr. George is an asset to the City of
Sanford and said to him that although he won't be the permanent City Manager because
of the City Charter, that as the current Interim City Manager she supports him because he
is doing a great job. She asked him to think about what is in the best interest of the City
and consider remaining as Interim City Manager through the budget process and until the
Commission is ready to say to exit.
Commissioner Mahany thanked Chief Ransom for having family day at
the Fire Department. She congratulated Anna and Mike Yebba for her Celery Queen
fund raiser event held in Magnolia Square on Saturday night. Last Sunday was "Maude's
Day in the City of Sanford" and she read a proclamation to Maude at her goodbye party;
she left Tuesday and is very happy in her new environment. She agrees completely with
Commissioner Williams about Mr. George, that Mr. George does his best to make us as
effective as we can be and somebody who didn't care about the City of Sanford wouldn't
go as far as he does. She is saddened and tired of Mr. George being publicly disparaged
and she doesn't agree. Mr. George has proven to be not only a fine individual and fine
City Manager, but one of the best people she knows.
Commissioner Jones said that he had discussion with Mr. George
2011 -424
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 28 2011
REGULAR MEETING
regarding the order in which the Police Chief and City Manager search should go and the
reasons for it but it is a discussion that can be had with Mr. Rohre, Waters Consulting
Group.
Commissioner M ° Carty congratulated Charles Davis on being awarded
volunteer of the year. A month of black HIV /Aids awareness just finished. Friday night's
Night of Appreciation for Chief Tooley went very well and was a nice presentation.
There has been a lot of talk about the last Commission meeting and his feelings towards
moving along quickly with the City Manager search. He takes no joy in pushing this
along but the voters have spoken. His greatest desire is to get Mr. George back to Public
Works so he doesn't have to go through these situations that we're in; a difficult time and
transitional period. He made no apologies for it and said we need to move forward on it.
Sanford was buzzing on Saturday night and it is a testament for that ten year vision; need
to start looking ten years in advance; it might be long term but it is a vision and desire to
move Sanford forward.
Mayor Triplett said that almost 45,000 meals were packaged at Holy Cross
Lutheran Academy; more than 20 employees from the City of Sanford's various
departments participated and he expressed thanks. He congratulated Mr. Davis on his
lifetime volunteer award. He gave a speech at a realtor meeting at the Gateway Plaza in
Orlando and said that interest was shown in investing in the City of Sanford. He and Mr.
George had the opportunity to present the City's initiatives in Washington, DC and
