I take way too commissioner Austin ready okay go ahead and call to order the meeting of the Sanford city commission um for Monday February 24th 2025 first order of business is the um invocation by Sue jenck of the Central
Florida freea Community followed by the Pledge of Allegiance thank you good evening As We Gather here in service to the people of Sanford let us take take a moment to reflect on the work before us the strength of a community is not
built in a single moment or by any one person it is the result of dedication cooperation and the steady effort of many hands working toward a common goal James cash Penny once said growth is never mere chance it is the result of forces working together the choices made
in this room tonight big and small will shape the future of the city growth does not happen by accident requires Vision resilience and a willingness to listen not just to those who agree with us but to all those who call this community
home tonight may we approach our responsibilities with Open Hearts and thoughtful Minds may we seek solutions that uplift and decisions that endure and may we leave here knowing that through patience collaboration and service we are strengthening the very
Foundation of Sanford not just for today but for generations to come with gratitude for the opportunity to serve let us move forward together thank you I to the flag of the United States
of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all thank you um we have president presentation by Martha R from the
homeless Services Network Mr manart yes Mr Mayor members of the city commission very honored today to have Miss Mar from the central Florida unsheltered to present the central Florida unsheltered PL and she is the chief executive office of the Home Services Network of Central
Florida Central yeah Central Florida thank you thank you thank you for allowing me to join you today and for your interest in this topic um um the uh over the past several months um we've
had a group working with us to help craft a plan for moving forward and how we can reduce the numbers of unsheltered people in our community you've all seen it we're all keenly aware that there are more and
more people who are experiencing unsheltered homelessness as we've disc before these numbers are driven exclusively by our housing market as more people want to move to a great area like this it's harder to keep up the uh
the development of Housing and transportation infrastructure to support the population in any community that is growing like you see simal County and like you see the city of Sanford growing any Community across the country that is growing rapidly you are seeing increased
numbers of people experiencing homelessness since we've not been able to or have not successfully increased our shelter bed capacity what we are also seeing then is an increase in unsheltered homelessness people who are literally out on the
streets and so as a priority for the region we wanted to look at what is it going to take to bring those numbers down in simal Orange and Ula counties and so this is a summary of the recommendations from that report highlight recommendations so these are probably
not going to be like real Shockers this is kind of what we've talked about many times before and kind of Common Sense on this issue but we we will need to expand our permanent Housing Solutions for people who are unsheltered we need to reinvigorate our
regional commitment and look at the distribution of services across the entire three count region we need to invest in the regional homelessness response system we want to strengthened cross system collaboration since homelessness touches
so many different public systems we need to engage in robust advocacy at State and National levels as well as the work that we're doing here locally in the jurisdictions and we need to be listening to and empowering the voices of people who have experienced
homelessness who have their excellent insight into what it takes to end someone's homelessness so we go into more detail on these uh when it comes to expanding permanent Housing Solutions we have identified the
need for at least 719 new permanent Supportive Housing units across the Three Counties that's in line with the point and time count from 2024 those numbers might be adjusted based on uh changes in data but we know we have the need for at least that many new permit
Supportive Housing units because that's how many people experiencing chronic homelessness we had at the last point in time count two if we want to reduce the numbers of people experiencing homelessness it takes a while to develop the housing inventory that is needed it takes a while to develop the shelter inventory
that is needed so one of the things that we're going to have to do is to expand and promote the use of shared housing opportunities for people so that we can maximize the use of the housing stock that we have we also want to increase the rapid
re housing which is Tim limited support primarily for families to meet the needs for at least 162 families across the Three Counties again this is benchmarked against the point in time count and we see uh we anticipate those
numbers may go up a little bit we also have the need to maximize subsidized housing resources a lot of this has to do with housing authorities and making sure that our housing authorities are accessing every possible resource that they can get and some of
that has to do with uh improving their capacity to make sure that they are uh able to apply for and administer any potential resources we've had some challenges with that over the past four or five years given that in our in our area across these Three Counties we have
the lowest percentage of subsidized units in the 100 largest MSA areas so here and this Tri count area subsidized units only 3% of our rental market is subsidized you go up to like the
Northeast and you're going to have closer to 22 23 24% so it's really important for us to maximize and make sure that we're getting every subsidy for housing possible and then we're going to have to secure other Regional
funding the regional commitment is is really about distribution of uh resources and services uh we all know that they things are not quite equitably distributed across all Three Counties so we need
initially and very importantly we need more shelters and we need we need them geographically dispersed because there's no District in any of the Three Counties that doesn't have somebody it doesn't have people experiencing homelessness
and people really want to be in shelters in their communities people really it happens people definitely move it's not the preference and many people will will stay outside rather than go a distance for shelter so we really need to maximize those opportunities across all
Three Counties including out in the rural parts of counties we need to implement uh we'll be looking at implementing multi-disciplinary Regional Outreach and encampment resolutions so when we're looking at how we uh when we have
encampments that we want to disperse we need multidisciplinary teams working with that dispersement that means not just Outreach workers but also mental health uh sometimes code enforcement but
um uh other other services other um employment Serv Services everybody involved in putting uh some hands around people who are moving out of these encampments making sure that they have access to all the services shelter
substance use Mental Health Services that they need when encampments are being uh taken taken down and we're trying to that's the only way that we can keep them from coming right back which is what tends to happen we also want to continue to
prevent and diver HT homelessness that's both keeping people in their housing before they come become homeless but also working very quickly when FS first become homeless to divert them out of the homeless response system and back into stable housing as quickly
as possible we see really good outcomes from this about 14% of our sheltered population can be diverted if we Implement diversion strategies some of those cost money not all of them do but the more broadly the community implements diversion strategies more touch points where
people who might be becoming homeless can get those kind of diversion conversations the more effective response we see and then as before we need to incorporate lived experience voices this is particularly important in the
regional response and understanding what kind of different services are needed across the region all right no big surprise it's going to take some money it's going to take some investment to make this happen we are but we need in addition to investing in The Individual Services we
need to continue to invest in the collaboration and making sure that we're partnering well together and working well together across the entire Tri County system so that includes strengthening the Continuum of Care and the coordinated entry process as well as enhancing collaboration and
training the more faults that we can get trained on best practices then the better our responses are and a and a key one which you're doing a there's a good job going on here in simol county and the Sanford's a part of with integrating system with law
enforcement and health care and making sure that Outreach law enforcement and Health Care are walking step by step by step together when interacting with people who are unsheltered around cross system collaboration a key piece of that is leveraging our Medicaid and HealthCare
Partners ship so you may may not be aware but we are one of seven uh we are one of two areas our region the three uh Three Counties are part of Seven Counties that have been given an 1115 waiver Medicaid waiver that helps
uh that helps provide some additional housing supported Services paid for by Medicaid and so far we're not maximizing that opportunity and so we're need to continue to work with those Medicaid
plans and with those Medicaid providers to make sure that we're maximizing access to those Services which can help provide case management and other housing support services to our unsheltered population as well as to those at risk we want to do this because
then that's uh Medicaid paying for those Services instead of you paying for those services so we obviously we want to maximize what we can get from Medicaid and we're one of the pilot communities here and so working we need to continue to try and boost that
effort there's always more uh in addition of course is integrating more with mainstream Services the more resources people experiencing homelessness can obtain that they are eligible for the easier it is for them to get into housing and to remain in housing and so we need to make sure that
people are getting the mainstream resources not just the homeless resources but the other mainstream resources for which they are eligible and a particular area of uh concern is around working better together with
people re-entering from various institutions and with Le and who need legal support um there way disproportionately people experiencing unsheltered homelessness have already been in our public systems
and have been discharged from them and so there's a great deal of work still to be done in improving access to service when people are leaving our jails leaving our hospitals leaving our treatment programs nothing undoes treatment any faster than being
discharged to the streets um so more work in that area then we have learned a lot in recent years about the power and the wisdom that comes from people who've experienced homelessness when they're given the opportunity to help inform
policy inform program and talk and help all of us learn more about what it really takes and what the real needs are we've seen a lot of success with that with our youth homelessness demonstration program it's been phenomenal to watch these Youth and how they have sh shaped programs to be more
responsive so we want to continue to incorporate the voices of people with lived experience kind of in every level of decisionmaking programmatic policy um part of that means we have to provide compensation for them to be able to participate in those ways just like
we would compensate other experts involved in that process and we need to make sure that their involvement includes monitoring and assessing impact and then the final recommendation not a big surprise here is around advocacy at both the state and
the national level um you're keenly aware by now that some of the State uh legislation and activities have absolutely thrown U significant curveballs into how homeless Services
were being uh provided and the prioritization for those services and so it's very important that we continue to do and that we actually increase our advocacy at the state level and the national level so that we are making sure that those who are elected to
represent us are fully aware of how our projects work work what's working well what's not working well so that we they can make strategic decisions that are actually in the best interest of our communities so in a nutshell those are
the recommendations of the unsheltered report that's what we will be working on in the next couple of years um across the Three Counties and I uh would be glad to answer any questions anybody any questions
on the Medicaid uh by the way nice to see you again thank you thank you for hanging in there because I know you've been doing this a while uh on the Medicaid you say we aren't maximizing that um how do we do
that what's the challenge there yeah we we've got a group going with representatives from the participating Medicaid plans um that that are gathering monthly along with some representatives from the homeless systems to see how we can maximize both identifying people who we know are in
the homeless system who are part who are members of the of the plans and making sure that the plans are then enrolling those people into the services for which they're eligible as well as from the from the Medicaid plan side looking at who do
they have that might be homeless that may or may not be in our databases yet um but it's that kind of cross fertilization but it's also uh taking on providing kind of case management and housing support services
for people who are homeless was not something many of these plans had done before and so we're also engaged in uh incorporating them into our trainings and our other opportunities to learn more about how to provide those Services effectively so that we're maximizing the
resource and secondly um I'm of course happy to hear you talking about geographically centralizing these because as you know we here in Sanford have the shelter everybody comes here to the shelter we're already overburdened um I've attended some
meetings where I've tried to talk to the other cities about you we all need help here even if you think that uh you may not have the same issue we have we are all in this together so I am grateful to know that there is a focus on that to
maybe find something that is more centrally located in simol County than what we have we um we definitely encourage uh looking I mean there's simal County Law Enforcement has a really uh robust mapping of where they
know encampments are and where people are already located and the most effective uh communities sites small shelters in those locations where people are already congregating and that how they maximize getting
people um inside instead of outside getting people inside but then also being able to work with work with them quickly to get them back into permanent housing and so we're we're definitely encouraging that type of very strategic thinking about location and about size and about
the way these programs are run we're encouraging what we call Open Access which means uh you know sometimes there are very reasonable uh reasons for why people uh stay
outside given the options there are for coming inside and so when you're strategic about creating overnight accommodations for people that address those concerns which can be anything from I've lost my I've lost my home and
I'm down to I've only got two bags of stuff and their big bags but that's all I've got and I don't want to leave them outside where somebody can steal it's it's all I have and I'm not ready to give that up and not not all the
facilities in our area can accommodate that those kind of belongings people have pets pets are a emotional support but they're also safety when you're out on the streets it's also if I'm asleep and some something bad's happening my dog's going
to wake up and it's going to let me know that I need to be alert and people don't want to give up their pets when they go into a place because they're worried they're going to get out of that place and then not have that safety and that protection that's a that's not a stupid decision to make that's a rational
decision to make in many settings so make sure making sure we can accommodate pets making sure we can accommodate belongings making sure we can accommodate couples that don't want to split up families uh there's fewer you know very few resources for men with
children uh so all kinds of the compositions that are part of our community making sure that we have overnight accommodations and sleeping options for all that Myriad of profile of people experiencing homelessness is uh as well as the geographic location is
absolutely needed and we will not see a reduction in our unsheltered homeless people until we do that great thank you um so along the same lines is that um are are you having conversations with other cities with areas are there
strategies for for bringing services to these other areas uh yeah we we're definitely having conversations um some some more advanced than others um certainly Orange County is looking uh
they are you know all the Orange County Shelter like kind of like you've got the Sanford they've got everything in Orlando right and Orange County's got a lot more people and so there's been a lot of emphasis on what can they do East what can they do asked what can they do up in Apopka um there are conversations
happening in aola as well as in other communities here in in simol county has there anyone in Simo County I mean reached out to say they want to the other cities other than us nobody's jumping uh you know jumping up for it
right now what we also know is that when faults start looking at areas they tend to want to get fairly far along in the research out a place before they announce a location um but th this plan we just
we're just now unrolling it so this is we're going to be marching this out across because that heat map that I think you showed when I was down there it was not just Orange County or was it just Orange County no no where we you know where we we see a lot of folks up
1792 um we see folks you know somewhat along I4 but you're you know your main thorough fars are where you're going to see most folks and where it's most strategic to look for are there small places what can we repurpose you know what kind of strip malls what kind of
other buildings can be repurposed for something small with some with uh 247 services will make a big difference in this community are are the thing are there things we can be doing to move that
along well I'm glad you're talking with your fellow cities because more F more it's going to take more communities outside of Sanford we are trying yes not yes um they're not jumping up at the chance yeah and so we will you know we
will continue to to try and encourage that um I you know our big thing is that when we have a place for either shelter or for housing we have to make it happen we for a while we were really just beating the housing
drum because ultimately that's what drives your numbers that's what drives the numbers of people experiencing homelessness and so those numbers are not going to go down until we have more housing options but we've kind of gotten to a point now where we have to do both we have to do both housing and increased
shelter opportunities for people and I know it can be very hard um given opposition that comes up uh for various locations for housing but that is what's going to make a difference your numbers will not go down so uh you know simal
County between 2010 and 20 20 you know the population grew about 12% or so the housing stock grew a little bit less than 6% it's just a numbers game like you you've just got more people and not enough units and so until you can create the units and the transportation
infrastructure you're going to continue to struggle with the numbers of people experiencing homelessness it what's helpful is for you to know really know that this is about your housing market that is what is driving your numbers it
is not about bad Services services are not driving your numbers the housing market is driving your numbers and so for you to know that and be able to speak speak to that uh is certainly helpful in the in the various Community
conversations uh because many times um some of the conversations go in a different direction and start blaming the agencies um that work with the population for increased numbers instead of what's really driving it and I'll be glad to share some research on that with you uh so you can
have a little bit more in your hip pocket on that you know have to take my word for it I actually show you the data on that um and and I think it's so having the right diagnosis helps us get to a cure much faster than if we're
chasing the wrong diagnosis any other questions or comments yes sir all right thank you very much thank you very much I appreciate your interest and I look forward to more opportunities to talk about this with you I'll see you next meeting yes you
will okay um to facilitate public input if you plan to speak on an item please complete the yellow citizens input form and there is a box on the table back there to place that form in public will be given an opportunity to speak on any item before the city commission um during the regular meeting uh before the

FIV minute timeline for citizen comment on any topic that is not on the agenda so we do not have any minute so we'll go to consent agenda is anyone in the audience wish to speak on any of the consent agenda items and I'll bring it the commission
for motion approve second any Motion in second to all in favor any oppos pass unly second reading of ordinance 4819 yes Mr Mayor an ordinance of the city Commission of the city of sanord Florida substantially and
comprehensively revising amending and reassigning the provisions of article one legislative Authority land use zoning and review procedures article two former Article 5 subdivision and plat procedures article three standards and proced procedures for use and
development approval article four zoning amendments and plan development projects Article 5 former article 8 concurrency procedures article six former article 9 development agreements and article 7 former article 10 fees of the city of
Sanford code Land Development regulations ldrs providing for a savings provision providing for conflicts providing for separability providing for codification and the correction of scrier errors and providing for an effective date that's your ordance by title Mr Mayor Mr Mayor members of City
Commission on December the 5th of 2024 the city's Planning and Zoning commission held a public hearing it was there that they voted to recommend that the city commission adopt an ordinance to modify the city's Land Development regulations relating to Article 1 through1 as now proposed is therefore
City staff's recommendation City commission adopt ordinance number 489 senson did do you have anything okay um I note that um the change we had asked about uh notifications for the cap meetings is been included but I also
appreciate that you added um the the notification time limit um it was 15 days this is a public heing and anyone from the audience wish to speak to this item see no one I'll close the public hearing than commission um I have a
couple of questions um um like the mayor was just talking about the addition that we did under the the legal review um item e um just for clarification is that all City commissioners will will receive all cap meetings or just the ones that
are within our district we're just going to include it to be notified to all Commissioners okay okay and then I just I have a couple of regular questions so just and I have a thousand notes so bear
with me I okay so when you do an amendment to the ldr does that require a full Amendment to the comp plan with this amendment no um but the transfer development rights the section
that we've added will require an amendment to the comp so not every change to the ldr requires a complain change but in this case we will be doing a complain update which we required to do we're in the process of doing right now so that transfer of development
rights is not currently in our complt okay so as much as we've established it in the ldr right now there's no supportive measures in the complaint which we'll have to follow up and and have those adopted as well okay one of the reasons why I was was asking was because at the last meeting we were
talking about the Adu the um assessory dwelling unit and the restrictions that were on there because it says that um you're either a relative or caretaker and if that's something that we want to look into taking the restrictions off of that would we have to go through the the
full process um yes there's so the definition of an Adu is in our schedule a the permitted locations ass is schedule be and currently the area in dimensional and some other buffering would be in other places um but for the
time being we're not changing schedule A and B this is process only so when we get to a and we change certain things about say adus for example we get to A and B and C we have to do them as a block and then we have to have those um
anything that we change that affects the big picture the parameters densities um density bonuses or development rights or anything like that that's in the comp plan we change something in the lvr that's not supported by the comp plan we have to
update the comp plan okay so for something like that we would have to look at that but there are also some measures that have been taken at the state level regarding adus that we will also have to incorporate when we make that CH okay and so another question that I'm
concerned about is um it's saying about garages right and that um every new single family home has to have a garage or or whatnot and so I was concerned about that if if if that's something that we can go through line item or is
is that something that is changed what section are you speaking of in the article that talks about the garages it is under single family dwelling and there's so muchier okay yes under like the the zoning classifications and the uses okay um
currently all of our classifications for single family require garages except for sr1 okay so um the sr1 zoning and anything there's like a set number of units you're not allowed to divide into sr1 for certain things so it's it's not
really a major change if there's something that we want to change like I said when we get to a b and c you're going to be your area and dimensional and your requirements for build and all of that we're going to have have to address it there these are actually just the designations of category for zoning
classifications that are in this article so I was a little confused as to the thing about the garages there it's more less development standards more how to get there okay is what this section that we're presenting you so we figured we would lay off how to proceed and then
come back to the commission and address things like you know New Uses every day there's New Uses out in the world whether it be um you know remember a time when eyebrow tattooing wasn't a thing well is it tattooing or is it just a beauty salon or is it so our
regulations actually don't have um some of those nuances in it so car dealerships these days you have carvana you go and you get a car out of a vending machine we don't have any of those nuances right now it says you have to have an acre of property to sell cars
and repair them on site so we have to update those codes as we get there before we can up those we have to update the procedures and how to ask for things which is what this what we presented to you the start perfect explanation okay okay anything else then do we have a
motion Mo to approve second second discuss all in favor oppos resolution 3350 Mr Mayor MERS the city commission the resolution 3350 is to revise the Land Development fees scheduled to
assess fees that better reflect the city's cost of providing development review services this is the public hear anyone from no any wish to speak to this now when I close the public hearing do you want to share basically what you shared at the work session about that
we're not adding fees or increasing fees we're just sure we're aligning the Land Development regulation articles to which we've just adopted with the fee schedule which will now reflect any new applications that were created through this process such as the sufficiency review or the transfer
development rights which we just spoke of and then we updated some of the wording on the fee schedule to match the wording in the articles on how so if somebody looks for administrative letter there's an administrative letter and a zoning request and those are both on the
fee scheduled written like that so they match the Articles as well as citizen Ser so when they go online and they try to apply for something they know what they're looking for good all right any questions and do we have a motion V to approve sorry motion second any forther
discussion all in favor any oppos nle thank you is there anyone in the audience that would like to speak with the commission about any item not on the agenda see no I'll go on to other items um approving the process for City

questions it'd be good if you establish that it was going to be by consensus you don't need the motion that the firm's got 10 minutes to make a presentation okay so we're in agreement we're giving the firm 10 minutes for a presentation

were in the budget one of y'all over there good evening with C to Waterway plants manager yes it was it was just in a different account um that Finance want to that's why we're doing the budget transfer but this has been

point Antiquated equipment the radio system very slow polling times this is going to replace all of that so this means when a left station goes down we know about it before somebody calls and tells us it's back up okay
good yeah what we have now is it like goes to a beeper system or something like that right well it goes to the main scale system at the North plant um and also and we have a separate system that's on that that calls out to to our cell phone okay but like you said the radio is very slow polling and the more
you add to it the slower it gets okay wonderful all right thank you you're welcome all right so do we have a motion second motion second forther discussion all in favor any oppos

purchase order 38421 for and the budget amounts are available in the building division Capital fund questions I all of these kind of it's confusing to me and I know this is how
government works but it's just like it if you have a purchase order originally for a certain amount then how do we all of how are certain things not calculated to where we're always doing these big increases like we don't know that you
know when you're doing the original purchase order that it's going to be a certain amount hi Tommy hey good evening commissioner yeah this this plan has changed substantially since its Inception number one is we tapped into a funding source
and we expanded into the uh parking lot to redo that so that led into landscaping irrigation changing out the light poles the second big problem was that we hired a new position a position that wasn't accounted for when we did the Breezeway expansion program we needed an office to put that person so
that forced us to go back to the drawing boards and the and the third big issue was rating when we got in and started getting into the overhead and looking at what was there in order to bring that space up to code our original plan of of closing off the space and putting the
permit coordinators forward facing wasn't tenable anymore we had to come up with another plan where that as you saw in the design they're now offset so that it's more of a a hallway than a closed off design that brought us to code and so those were the big changes that we

uh funeral services at the Civic Center for retirees specifically our First Responders um and uh I I don't know if we've met made any progress on discussing that or
anything we have made a little progress it's been slow going the full disclosure but we've reached out to our colleagues in neighboring cities if they have a current policy all right or a form to fill out so we're we're on the track with that I woke up the other night and I was like no I hadn't heard anything so
I just wanted to follow up thank we do have it on our radar and hope to have something in the next couple okay that's it okay a couple things um first Saturday I believe is the start of Ramadan so hopefully we will all acknowledge that
uh I attended tipic cop that was a very successful day at the Texas Roadhouse well done Chief and your team look forward to more of those successes it's great to see you bonding with the public and letting them know you know you're real friendly people out there uh
porchfest as commissioner Britain said was a big success I walked around there it was just my first time fabulous I'll be back every year um I sent a letter out to the HOAs a while ago in my district that I
could identify I have heard from one they that's pretty good I did hear from one they raised two issues and I will tell you that those two issues were resolved within 24 hours uh big shout out to the
staff for helping out with that Brent Chief Lee Chief Jon Chief Smith I don't know why I have Chief Lee in my head for some reason doesn't even exist anyway thank you for that for those of you who got the letter and haven't responded yet I'm going to presume that you're either very happy where you are or you just
haven't had a chance to respond yet I still welcome the opportunity to get to know my constituents um I am following legislation uh kind of a legislation Geeks just so for my fellow Commissioners know that I am on there tracking the bills that are being proposed and trying to pay attention to
those that would affect us as a city and finally uh I had a meeting with Charlie peoli this week Charlie is the head of otown compost and he in and his small company are already serving some of the businesses in our community
hollerbachs is a good example where they are successfully taking a lot out of uh regular waste disposal composting it and uh it in fact the benefits there are not just reducing one's trash but removing
the smelly part of your trash but um getting access to other services they have extending the life of our seol County landfill delaying the need to permit more landfill capacity preventing harmful methane emissions and moving our community closer to a circular economy
because this compost and I've signed up for it just for my own B benefit but uh you have the benefit of getting the compost to them they give it to the farms in the local area so then it gets recycled and you can also get some of the compost back yourself if you want to
put it into your own Gardens or whatever the case may be so I have information here I'm going to share with the other Commissioners so we can all take a look at that and see if it might be something we'd be interested in partnering with oown perhaps for a pilot project maybe one Community within Sanford where we
can try it out and see how that would work so all about the environment that's it for me okay iot I want to uh give 500 327 La 327 for my event on Saturday
they're going to be out there I said we going to have the face painting uh balloon twist they will have all kind of stuff out there and I want to go ahead and donate uh 500 to them for a public purpose excuse me for a public purpose purpose is there a
