Contract with the Sanford Area Growth Alliance for FY 2019-2020. In October of 2014, Lee County executed a contract for economic development services with the Sanford Lee County Partnership for Prosperity. Since 2014, the County has continued to fund the SLCPP for these services. The SLCPP has also started doing business as the Sanford Area Growth Alliance. The Board of Directors has been updated based on a list provided by SAGA. The Board reviewed the agreement at its May 20, 2019 Regular Meeting. At that time, it was requested that two items be added to the contract, the first is that SAGA include minutes from its board meetings to the Commissioners and the second is that SAGA presents monthly financials to the Commissioners. Both of those changes had been incorporated into the contract included in the agenda packages. A public hearing on these appropriations was held on June 3, 2019; no one spoke in favor or in opposition of the appropriation. During discussion Commissioner Del Palazzo noted she has continued to vote against incentives and feels there are other ways the county can expand. She understood that when the organization started it was a public-private partnership and thought the private sector was going to take over more. Commissioner Sharpe made a motion to approve the original contract from last year that does not have the two provisions that were requested at the May 20 meeting, but to include a provision that SAGA must follow the Non Profit Corporation Act. Commissioner Reives asked Michael Smith, the Executive Director of SAGA, to agree to include a recommendation of the Executive Board's vote on a project in writing. Mr. Smith indicated he could do that. Commissioner Sharpe then amended his motion to approve the contract, a copy of which is attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof, for SAGA as presented last year with the inclusion of SAGA agreeing to follow the Nonprofit Corporation Act and the addition that the executive committee provide a recommendation to the Board in writing. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dalrymple, Dodson, Reives, Sharpe Nay: Del Palazzo, Smith Chair Dalrymple ruled the motion had carried four to two. C.
