Commissioner Reives informed the Board that the County already had a Matching Grants Policy which was adopted October 1, 1990, a copy of which was included in the agenda. Lee County Senior Services would like to raise money to purchase a tread mill and would like the County to match the donated funds for the purchase of a second tread mill. Commissioner Garner moved to match the funds raised by Senior Services for the purpose of purchasing a second treadmill. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Adams, Garner, Hincks, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, and Sauls Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a memorandum from Reggie Scales, Sanford/Lee County Community Development Director, requesting that the Board appoint two regular members and one alternate member to the Sanford Board of Adjustment from the Sanford Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. This is required due to action taken by the Sanford City Council on July 20, 1999 which split the Sanford Planning Board/Board of Adjustment into separate entities. The existing members of the Planning Board/Board of Adjustment remained as the Planning Board with the sole responsibility of providing planning and long range studies for the City. To ensure fair representation, Commissioner Hincks asked Mr. Scales to furnish the Board with a map that indicates where existing members currently live prior to the September 7, 1999 Board meeting, said maps are to be sent directly to Board members by the Department of Community Development. Commissioner Adams asked the Board to consider acquiring identifying apparel of some sort for tax assessors to wear during the appraisal process. This is for their safety as well as property owners. 8
