She really hopes that doesn't happen because that is a very inappropriate place for it.
Mayor Triplett said that he has seen the same and that it is working its way through the
process and the Commission will review it when it comes before them.
13) CITY COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS.
Commissioner Jones said that in the last month he has been in
conversation with members of the sign task force who expressed concern and desire to
present modifications, suggestions, or ideas regarding the sign ordinance. He likes the
sign ordinance and the intent was good, however, the law of unintended consequences
has kicked in; many properties don't have the room to comply. There needs to be
discussion at a work session. Mr. George said that if those comments can be submitted
he will put information together for discussion at a work session.
Vice Mayor Mahany thanked Mr. George for last Wednesday's meeting at
the Zoo. Discussion included developing a five year strategic plan for the City and
looking long term with the budget. The consultants and the meeting were great.
Commissioner Williams reinforced the comments regarding the meeting at
the Zoo where there was also discussion about team building which was invaluable and
will make a difference in the direction the Commission is going. She has also had
discussion with people about the sign ordinance and has no problem with revisiting the
ordinance and listening to concerns but feels the purpose of the ordinance is good and is
still valuable. She doesn't support eliminating the ordinance but working with it and

coming up with compromises. Staff should continue to work with business people and
give consideration with individual situations. She thanked Commissioner Mahany for the
birthday cake, cards, and birthday song sung at today's Work Session.
Commissioner M said that signage is an important issue and it is his
desire to see Sanford with businesses that have signs but not those that will detract from
the beauty of our great town. He expressed concern about parking during the Alive After
5 event and the emails he received about cars being towed, and that he hopes that a better
job can be done to help block off places where people are coming to our City to spend
money. He missed the meeting at the Zoo but had a great opportunity to promote an
electric motorcycle and possibly distribution and dealership manufacturing in the area.
Electric is the future; some day gas will be a thing of the past just like saddles and
bridles. We have a bright future.
Mayor Triplett thanked the Commission for its support of Ordinance No.
4234. He said that strategic planning is very important to him and the next strategic
meeting will take us into a true funneling of all of the ideas and dollars and everything
that we have to get our hands around in the next three years and ten months. He had the
opportunity to attend the CAB meeting last week and appreciates the comments and
concerns, all which were true raw emotions about some of the events. Chief Harriett
handled himself very well and answered questions. He thanked members of that group
and said that he looks forward to bigger and better things.
