Sanford's population is uninsured and 22% of the population is living in poverty. There is a disparity in the ability to access quality health care. There is also a lack of mental health care providers in Lee County. Addiction and abuse are serious problems that are reflected in a nationwide opioid crisis. Opioid overdoses more than doubled in the spring of 2021. The task force recommends that the City of Sanford work with partners to create an affordable community care clinic, require law enforcement to undergo sensitivity training and provide training for schools on addiction and substance abuse in the classrooms. The Task Force recommends collaboration with COLTS to expand transportation services for underinsured and uninsured people. Superintendent of Lee County Schools Dr. Andy Bryan provided input and discussion along with staff related to the areas of concern in public schools. The Task Force held 42 sub-committee meetings addressing concerns in a variety of different areas. Attorney Webb suggested addressing concerns in an indirect way, such as impacting housing policies to lessen the impact on families and providing a clinic to try to help individuals to clear up backlog to help people get their driver's licenses back so people can drive properly and legally so people can work.

MAD M&R would only utilize this easement in the event of an emergency and it will be abandoned once Kelly Drive is completed in 2024 -2025 where the development will then have a road access point. The easement will be gated and locked at the County's property and at the property line and the City of Sanford's Fire Department will be the only ones with access. It is Staffs understanding this has previously been approved by the City of Sanford. If the Board is willing to grant the easement, Staff will draft additional language to make it clear the easement is temporary and for the specific use of emergency access only.
