Commissioners approve $827,932 funding for city planning services contract
Summary
The board approved funding to continue the county's contract with the City of Sanford for planning services (county share requested: $827,932 for FY 2026–27); Commissioner Sharp was recused from the vote as noted.
Staff explained the county has contracted with the City of Sanford for planning and inspections services for years. The contract covers zoning administration, subdivision administration, floodplain ordinance administration, long‑range planning and related services.
The county's requested appropriation for FY 2026–27 is $827,932, representing the county's share of the planning budget (not including separate inspection fees covered by permit revenue). A recusal for Commissioner Sharp was noted before the motion. A motion to approve the funding passed by voice vote.
Commissioners asked for additional reporting on the 45% / 55% cost split used to allocate planning costs between county and city; staff said the split dates to prior contracts and will be reviewed. The board directed staff to explore the cost of in‑house planning and inspection services for future years and to report back.
