Seminole County ISBA versus joint planning agreement
Summary
The county wants Sanford to join an interlocal service boundary agreement covering fire, EMS, water, roads, parks and more — beyond the current planning-only JPA. Sanford's smaller staff worries about capacity, costs, and taking on county responsibilities, while the county says it's about fixing confusing service gaps residents actually call about.

Impact analysis
Unquantified long-term service, infrastructure, and staffing costs — plus new state revenue constraints complicate the math.
Residents in fragmented service areas like Midway could see clearer, more reliable service delivery.
City staff could be stretched thin, and the city risk taking on unfunded responsibilities it can't sustain.
