The motion carried unanimously. Mayor Meserve stated that he wished to take Item 8A out of sequence and act on it at this time. He indicated that the item was advertised for a public hearing, but the property owner had requested that the item be deferred until after the Joint Commission on parking in Town Center, being formed with the City of Neptune Beach makes its recommendation to the city. 8A. Public Bearing and action on a request for aUse-by- Esception, in accordance with Section 24-161 (i) of the Land Development Regulations, to reduce the required number of parking spaces fro 28 to 13, and to reduce the width of spaces from ten feet to nine feet, related to the proposed development of a new commercial building containing retail and professional office uses to be located at the soutlnvest corner of Ahern Street and East Coast Drive; action on a request for a height waiver in accordance with Section 24- v v 0 0 T T E E S S M S O E T C [ O Y O N E N N D S O COMMISSIONERS BEAVER X BORNO X X PARSONS X X WATERS X MESERVE X ^~,_ Minutes Page -2- October 13, 2003 156 to allow the proposed building to exceed the 25-foot • height limit within the Central Business District (City Manager) Motion: Defer action on the request until thirty days after the Joint Commission makes its recommendation to the city. Mayor Meserve opened the floor for a public hearing. Rona Brinlee and David Hurst inquired if another public hearing would be held. Mayor Meserve indicated that a public hearing would be held after the Joint Commission made its recommendation to the city. Ms. Brinlee and Mr. Hurst indicated they would reserve their comments until that time. Pat Pillmore of 995 Camelia Street believed the parking problem would only get worse and suggested that the city find a long term solution to the problem through consideration of the use of mass transit, shuttle service from an outlying parking lot such as K-Mart, or the construction of a parking garage. Nadine McDade of 54 East Coast Drive stated that the applicant was requesting too many exceptions to the land development regulations and felt they should have to abide by the existing rules. Ed McDade of the same address agreed and stated he would defer his comments to the next public hearing. Paul Harden of 1301 Riverplace Blvd., Suite 2601, an attorney representing South Coast Capital Partners, who own adjacent property, stated that he would like to be notified of the next public hearing. Sandy Forsyth of 2345 Seminole Rcacli Court stated he opposed the parking variance and believed each business should provide adequate on- siteparking. He believed a reduction in the width of individual parking spaces would negatively impact handicapped parking. Mr. Forsyth commented that on a recent walk in the Oceanwalk area, he encountered the following problems with the sidewalks: (1) Shrubbery obstructions, (2) A slippery algae buildup on some areas, (3) Uneven construction, and (4) Cars parked across the sidewalk. He requested that the city address these matters to keep sidewalks safe for those who enjoy walking. No one else spoke and the Mayor closed the public hearing. There was no more discussion and the motion carried unanimously. Ma or Meserve reco nized Council Members Art Graham and Warren Y g Alvarez from the City of Jacksonville.

J.P. Marchioli of 414 Sherry Drive commented on the following: (1) Complained about a recent high water bill, (2) Felt the decorative crosswalks being installed by the city failed as traffic calming devices, (3) Stated that he had received no response to his petition to reduce speeding on Sherry Drive, and (4) Suggested that to solve parking problems, citizens park at either K-Mart or the North Beach Center and walk to Town Center. Jose Munos of the Boys and Girls Club -Keystone Club stated that he had brought three of the Keystone Club's members to the meeting to learn the proper way to conduct the opening of a meeting. Dorothy Kerber of 365 1St Street inquired if handicapped parking was required for the proposed commercial building (Item 8A) and pointed out that if it was required, a handicapped parking space would have to be constructed at the wider width. Douglas Speed of 1207 Seminole Road reported on an existing parking problem at City Hall and pointed out that construction of a skate park in Jack Russell Park would only worsen the parking problem. 2. Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors A. Report on Mayport Road Redevelopment Study David Stroud, from Reynold, Smith and Hills (RS&H), consultants who conduct the study for the First Coast Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), provided a broad overview of the results of the Mayport Road Access Management Study, which included a review of existing conditions, a report on future traffic demands and the recommendations for redevelopment of the road. Mr. Stroud noted the study area was approximately 3.5 miles in length and covered Mayport Road from Atlantic Boulevard to the Wonderwood Drive area. Mr. Stroud briefly reviewed the following recommendations for redevelopment of the road: (1) Construct raised landscaped medians, (2) Construct a dedicated 4-foot wide bicycle lane, (3) Install lighting for pedestrians and vehicles, (4) Construct U-turn cutouts at median breaks, and (5) Construct S-foot wide sidewalks. Illustrative views of the recommendations were provided. OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O Minutes Page -4- October 13, 2003 Mr. Stroud reported that the project would be completed in five phases, with the first phase being the area from Atlantic Boulevard to Church Road (Dutton Island Road East and West). It was reported that the city's total cost for the improvements would be $1.1M. A copy of the study is attached and made part of this official record as Attachment A. A question and answer session followed the presentation. Commissioner Beaver expressed concern relative to narrowing the road going north to one lane by the flyover and inquired as to input received from the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) relative to the reduced lane change. Mr. Stroud indicated that the JTA had attended the meetings and after options were considered, nothing had changed except there would be no bus stop locations in the single Iane area. Commissioner Beaver expressed concern that opening of the Wonderwood Expressway would bring increased traffic to the beaches, and if traffic flow to the south was reduced, this might divert traffic onto side streets, such as Plaza. Mr. Stroud indicated that the traffic models used took this into consideration, and explained that the area where there was only one lane northbound, had sufficient distance to allow vehicles to pass disabled vehicles or a stopped bus situation, but the design aspect would be determined during the design phase of the study. Commissioner Beaver stated he thought the one lane situation was both north and south bound. Mr. Stroud stated that the "one lane" situation was only going north from Atlantic Boulevard toward the Post Office. Commissioner Borno inquired if school bus traffic was considered in the modeling. Mr. Stroud responded that it was not considered at this time. Commissioner Borno indicated that there were approximately twelve school bus stops on Mayport Road, which tied up traffic twice a day. He believed it would be better for traffic flow and the safety of the children, to reroute the bus stops to a side street that looped back around to Mayport Road. Mr. Stroud stated that he would make sure this concern was addressed in the next phase of the study. Mayor Meserve inquired if the raised, landscaped medians could be considered the same as a divided highway, which would allow traffic going in the opposite direction of the bus to continue to flow when the bus stopped. Chief Thompson confirmed that it would be considered the same as a divided highway. Mayor Meserve commented that $500,000 had already been received to begin the process, and noted that the FDOT had been involved in most stages of the study and had not expressed any disapproval. He indicated • that Aage Schroeder, District Secretary of the FDOT, stated they would readdress lowering the speed limit once some traffic calming took place. OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O Minutes Page -5- October 13, 2003 Mayor Meserve recognized Capt. John Mitchell, former Base Commander and Chair of the Mayport Road Development Subcommittee of the Mayport Waterfront Partnership, and thanked him for his work. Mayor Meserve indicated that he would also like to take Items 8D and 8K out of sequence and act on them at this time. 8D. Joint Public Hearing related to Jacksonville and Atlantic Beach re-naming Church Road to Dutton Island Road West and Dutton Island Road East (City Manager) Mayor Meserve stated that the City of Atlantic Beach was asked by the City of Jacksonville to hold a public hearing concerning the renaming of the road since it is the dividing line between the two cities. Mayor Meserve opened the floor for a public hearing and invited comments from the audience. J.P. Marchioli of 414 Sherry Drive thought naming the road Dutton Island Road West and Dutton Island Road East might cause some confusion since Dutton Island is located west of Mayport Road. Stephen Kuti of 1132 Linkside Drive felt any citizen living on Church Road should be compensated for the additional expenses associated with the change, and inquired if they were being compensated. No one else spoke and the Mayor closed the public hearing. Commissioner Waters explained that Mayport Road was the east/west dividing line for the city and many streets had the east/west designations. 8K. Approve Interlocal Agreement with the City of Jacksonville for funding for Adele Grage Cultural Center (City Manager) Motion: Approve Interlocal Agreement with the City of Jacksonville for funding for Adele Grage Cultural Center. Mayor Meserve thanked City of Jacksonville Council Members Art Graham and Warren Alvarez for their assistance in securing the funding.

Veterans' Park In response to a letter to the editor, Commissioner Beaver explained that the additional small piece of property obtained from the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) would be used for the memorial park and the original property would be used for the children's playground. Mayor Meserve provided additional background information and pointed out that the city had worked with the JTA for more than three years to obtain the land for the park, at no cost to the city.

Commissioner Waters recounted a recent incident of a dog running at large in his neighborhood and stated that he was pleased the ordinance was passed. The motion carried unanimously. 8. Miscellaneous Business: A. Public Bearing and action on a request for aUse-by- Exception, in accordance with Section 24-161 (i) of the Land Development Regulations, to reduce the required number of parking spaces fro 28 to 13, and to reduce the width of spaces from ten feet to nine feet, related to the proposed development of a new commercial building containing retail and professional office uses to be Iocated at the southwest corner of Ahern Street and East Coast Drive; action on a request for a height waiver in accordance with Section 24- 15G to allow the proposed building to exceed the 25-foot height limit within the Central Business District (City Manager) Item 8A was taken out of sequence and acted on earlier in the meeting B.

Mayor Meserve opened the floor for a public hearing and invited comments from the audience. Patricia Pillmore of 995 Camelia Street stated that she favored the taller signs for gas stations for safety reasons and increased visibility. Edward Moody, representing Allen Industries, stated that other signs in the area were over the maximum height limit of 8-feet. He pointed out that the company was allowed to have a second 8-foot sign on the other side of the property, but they would relinquish that sign if they could keep as much of the height as possible on the existing 2S-foot sign. No one else spoke and the Mayor closed the public hearing. Community Development Director Doerr explained that the current sign ordinance required non-conforming signs to be brought into compliance when the alteration to the sign involved any change that altered the material used for the display or face area by more than 2S%. Discussion ensued and the Commissioners agreed to support the current sign regulations. They felt that over time, as non-conforming signs were replaced, the city would become more aesthetically pleasing with the 8- foot signs. There was no more discussion and the motion failed by a 0 to S vote. C. Public hearing and action on a request for aUse-by- Exception (File Number UBE-2003-04) filed by Merv and Theresa Russell to allow certain uses within the Commercial General Zoning district limited to those as set forth within Section 24-111: (c) (6) Contractor not requiring outdoor storage; (c) (7) Limited warehousing, and (c) (10) Cabinet shops, for property located on the east side of Stocks Street between Levy Road and West 14`x' Street, and described as Lots 1-5, BIock 243 within the Section "H"Subdivision (City Manager) Motion: Approve aUse-by-Exception (File Number UBE- 2003-04), filed by Merv and Theresa Russell as recommended by the Community Development Board, to allow certain uses within the Commercial General Zoning district limited to those as set forth Fvitliin Section 24-111: (c) (6) Contractor not requiring outdoor storage; (c) (7} Limited warehousing, and (c) (10) Cabinet shops, for property located on the east side of Stocks Street between Levy Road and West 14t~' Street, and OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O BEAVER X X BORNO X PARSONS X X WATERS X MESERVE X Minutes Page -9- October 13, 2003 described as Lots 1-5, Block 243 within the Section "H" Subdivision.

Commissioner Parsons expressed concern that 7:00 a.m. was too early for a business to operate on Saturday. Mr. Russell stated that all business operations would be conducted within the building. He indicated that there were two residential properties across the street, and assured the Commissioners the noise level would be kept down. There was no more discussion and the motion carried unanimously. D. Joint Public Hearing related to Jacksonville and Atlantic Beach re-naming Church Road to Dutton Island Road West and Dutton Island Road East (City Manager) Item 8D was addressed earlier in the meeting. E. Action on a report by the City Manager regarding restructuring of water and sewer rates (City Manager) Mayor Meserve commented that in the past there were reports by citizens who believed the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) had no authority to tell the city what type of rate structure it should adopt. He then introduced Caroline Silvers, the Supervisory Regulatory Hydrologist for the SJRWMD; and asked her to explain what would happen if the city ignored the rules of the WMD. OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O Minutes Page -10- October 13, 2003 Ms. Silvers explained that the city must have a Consumptive Use Permit • from the SJRWMD to withdraw water from the aquifer to supply to its customers, and in order to obtain the permit certain criteria must be met. Ms. Silvers indicated it was getting more difficult to obtain the Consumptive Use Permit as saltwater intrusion increased. Ms. Silvers pointed out that SJRWMD rules required implementation of all available water conservation measures technically, environmentally and economically feasible, and to obtain and keep the Consumptive Use Permit, the city must demonstrate that it meets numerous conservation elements, one of which is a water conserving rate structure. It was pointed out that the city must educate the excessive users to let them know why they would be charged a higher rate, and for conservation measures to have the most impact, the increased rates for those high-end abusive users should not be phased in. Mayor Meserve inquired as to what would happen if the city did not comply by adopting a water conserving rate structure. Ms. Silvers indicated the WMD had the ability to punish the city by entering into a Consent Order, which could carry a fine of up to $10,000 per day until compliance was reached. She further stated that due to the seriousness of the water issues facing the State, the WMD was placing emphasis on compliance and enforcement of its rules. A question and answer session followed covering education, abusive water users, and implementation of the restructured rates. It was pointed out that the City ofAtlantic Beach was not the only city in the WMD being impacted to implement conservation measures. City Manager Hanson commented that conservation measures would delay the time when water rates become very expensive due to saltwater intrusion. City Manager Hanson explained three options for adoption of a revised rate structure as listed in his memo dated October 2, 2003, which is attached and made part of this official record as Attachment C. He then requested a sense of the Commission as to which option they favored. Mayor Meserve indicated a preference for bringing in Residential immediately and phasing in the Commercial rates. Commissioner Beaver agreed and stated that he would like an education program in advance of implementation of the increased rates. Commissioner Waters felt the rates should be increased across the board, with everyone being treated equally. Commissioner Parsons stated that he supported either option one or two. It was the consensus of the Commission that the city's consultant, Mike Burton, recalculate the numbers to see which option would be the best between options one and two to stay revenue neutral. OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O Minutes Page -11- October 13, 2003 F. Action on a waiver of subdivision regulations requested by Tawana Wagner (City Manager) Motion: Deny the request for a waiver of the subdivision regulations to create two lots within Block 10 of Atlantic Beach Subdivision A that are less than 75 feet in width and less than 7,500 square feet in lot area. Community Development Doerr explained that the Subdivision Regulations required that all newly created lots to be not less than 75- feetwide and have a lot area not less than 7,500 square feet. Commissioner Waters stated that he was opposed to creating substandard 50 foot lots. Tawana Wagner explained the intent of the request, and indicated they would build rivo single family homes on the property with no variances, and sell one home and live in the other. There was no more discussion and the motion carried unanimously. G. Authorize the City Manager to sign an agreement with Be1lSoutli to use a 20' x 20' easement at Veterans' Memorial Park (City Manager) Motion: Authorize the City Manager to sign an agreement with Be1lSoutli to use a 20' x 20' easement at Veterans' Memorial Park.

Commissioner Parsons • Requested that an article be placed in Tidevietivs concerning the availability of computers at the Adele Grage Cultural Center. • Commented there were boats and motor homes parked on Selva Marina Drive, which may not be illegally parked, but he felt they presented an eyesore in the neighborhood. •'• Inquired if it was legal to park on the right-of--way on Sherry • Drive. Chief Thompson indicated it was legal. • Recounted how an accident almost occurred and inquired if the curb in the vicinity of 10th Street and Seminole Road was going to remain at its current height. Public Works Director Kosoy stated that it would remain at that height. • Referenced the recent paving project and suggested that the "turtle signs" be used to let people know how long a street will be closed. • Re~orted on an accident that occurred on Beach Avenue and 16`' Street and inquired if a caution sign could be installed on each side of the intersection relative to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. • Reported that he had received compliments concerning the street signs on the beach. Commissioner Waters • Felt the City should come up with solution for the parking problem that exists at the end of 10`h Street. He suggested creating parking at 16th Street and leasing the spaces to the COMMISSIONERS M S O E T C 1 O Y O N E N N D S O Minutes Page -15- October 13, 2003 residents. He expressed concern the property was deteriorating due to the lack of adequate parking for its residents. Mayor Meserve stated that staff could look at this, but recounted that a few years ago they turned the city down for leasing a space in front of each unit for $500/year. • Commented that there were numerous potholes in the Royal Palms area that needed attention. • Inquired as to who swept the flyover and commented it needed regular sweeping. Mayor Meserve • Reported that Jacksonville Mayor Peyton would be visiting the Atlantic Beach Elementary School in November to recognize some of the innovative programs implemented by the school. Mayor Meserve stated that he would like to develop a partnership with the Atlantic Beach Elementary School. He indicated he would share suggestions from the school for developing this relationship with the Commissioners over the next two months. There being no further discussion or business to come before the City Commission, the Mayor declared the m~t~ng ~djourned at 9:40 p.m. 1~' Attest: Maureen King Certified Municipal Cler u Officer OMMISSIONERS M O T I O N S E C O N D Y E S N O ~~ n 00 n s n 0 _. ~. a n Z Q' ~D C•~ n 0 c~ w N O 0 w a n n c~ Ci cD 3 c~ c a 3 -a 0 O a IZg~I~ NOISSIYdI^10~ £OOZ `~Z ~~g~Z~O ~ zr~a~x~ezzd (D n 0 m o' c~ ~' O cD a, rn X _. ~-, c~ n 0 a. o' H 0 a. ~- o' c~ rt O 7 0 ~ ~. ~ ^ ^ ^ ~ ^ 0 ~ ~ -t1 i--i ..0 ,~ ~ C7 ~.. ~ N cn n ~ ~• ~ CD ' ~ ~ ~ - o' ~ ~' o _ ~ ~ ~- ~ n n ~ ~ -v ~,: c~ ~. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ .

These include playground equipment, grassing and irrigation. Pictures will be available at the City Commission meeting on October 13th. Parkin on East End of 10th Street• Island Club Townhouses; A complaint from residents of the Island Club Townhouses about a lack of private parking places was relayed to the City Commission at the last meeting. The Mayor and Commission have discussed parking at this location on several occasions beginning in 1979 when the owner/developer proposed to convert the Bikini Apartments to condominiums. Complaints from these condominium owners were a main reason to institute the Parking Sticker Program in 1992. Later discussions involved the possible lease of parking places to the owners and correspondence with the Corps of Engineers concerning requirements for Atlantic Beach to maintain public parking in connection with beach renourishment funds. A copy of a memo dated September 11, 2003 to Commissioner Waters along with a "History of Island Club Townhouses Parking Problem on 10th Street" dated September 9, 2003 are attached for your information. • AGENDA ITEM #3A OCTOBER 13, 2003 • September 11, 2003 MEMORANDUM To: Dezmond Waters From: Jim Hanson, Subject: Parking on 10`~ Street Several days ago you asked that I contact Alan Jensen for a legal opinion about various solutions to the parking problems on 10`" Street. I have reviewed the files on this, which are extensive, and have summarized the chronology of events in the attached document entitled "History of Island Club Townhouses Pazking Problem on 10~' Street September 9, 2003". In summary, the minutes of the various commission meetings since 1996 have reflected that the . discussion over the possible continuation of the parking permit program or various other solutions to the complaints made about parking by some of the townhouse residents have revolved around the possible loss of federal funding for beach renourishment projects if public parking places were ehmmated or restricted. On two occasions, either the staff or the City Attorney was requested to write for a clazification of various issues to the Corps of Engineers. On both occasions, responses were received from Richazd Bonner, Regional Director (still serving in that position) for the Corps of Engineers. He stated essentially that if parking places . were removed or restricted for use only by certain people, then they must be replaced with others in close proximity or the city may lose some federal funding for beach renourishment. With the understanding of these federal requirements, the City Commission .has chosen on several occasions since 1996 not to proceed with several of the proposals favored by the townhouse residents. It is interesting to read the commission minutes from 1979 that indicate that the Chair of the Advisory Planning Board and the Mayor at two separate meetings made sure that the developers understood that there would be no private parking on 10`~ Street and the pazking "could not be reserved for the owners of the townhouses." If you would like copies of any of Mr. Bonner's letters or other documents please let me know. • AGENDA ITEM #3A OCTOBER 13, 2003 History of Island Club Townhouses Parking Problem On 10th Street i September 9, 2003 • 4/9/79 Planning Board recommendation to approve PUD application of Mr. & Mrs. Siakel to convert apartments to townhouses with, among other stipulations; "Make all interested parties aware of the fact that, the present 20 parking spaces are all on-street parking. There is on private property parking available on 10th St." • 5/28179 Public hearing and approval of Dan Siakel's request to change the 10th St. apartments (Bikini Appartments) into townhouse condominiums to be sold individually.

Vote was 4 to 1 opposed (Mayor Fletcher in favor). • 7/21198 Staff report by David Thompson on history of parking on 10th St. No recommendations were made. • 8118198 Staff report from City Manager Jim Jarboe and other staff members listing several alternatives to parking problem and recommending the lease of 10 parking spaces to residents at a rate of $500/ year. • 8124198 Commission authorized the City Attorney to draft lease agreements with the tenants of the townhouses to lease parking spaces for $500/ year. The Commission also asked that the Corps of Engineers be contacted about the proposed lease and about how many parking spaces would be needed to maintain federal funding for beach renourishment. • 9/21/98 Memo from City Manager Jarboe to Commission stating that the Corps of Engineers told him; " ..if parking places are lost, they need to be replaced with other parking places. However, ...if parking spaces have been created in the past, they could be exchanged for the parking spaces that were lost." • 9122198 Letter from Richard Bonner of the Corps of Engineers; AGENDA ITEM #3A OCTOBER 13, 2003 "...the City of Atlantic Beach will identify parking spaces available for public use in the area of 10th St.. It is our understanding that the City will substitute new public parking spaces that will replace those reassigned for private use. Based upon this information, ...there is no change anticipated to be warranted in the Federal cost sharing for the project." • 9128198 Commission meeting; several residents had differing opinions about the possible options; some opposed to paying $500/ year, some .wanting the City to transfer ownership of parking spaces to townhouse owners, and others opposed to any loss of public parking. Mayor Shaughnessy requested the City Attorney to send a letter to Corps of Engineers about possibly reinstating the parking sticker program. • 10/9/98 Letter from Alan Jensen to Richard Bonner requesting opinion from Corps of Engineers on parking sticker program. • 12/18/98 Letter from Richard Bonner, Corps of Engineers that "Federal cost sharing can remain unaffected as long as the amount and the location of public parking that Federal cost sharing was based upon are not changed. Public parking must remain open to all on an equal basis.

At that time, the Commission reached a consensus on one of the plans proposed by the City's consultant with a 5-year phase in. The City then asked our consultant, Mike Burton, to submit the chosen alternative to the St. Johns River Water Management District (WMD) for their approval. The rate information was then sent to the WMD and several conference calls have been held since that time. Comments from the WMD employees and consultants working on their behalf have now been finalized. The restructured water rate, when fully implemented at the end of the proposed five-year phase in period, has been determined to be adequate to meet the current requirements for a water-conserving rate. However, the WMD has objected to phasing in the rates. The WMD would prefer that these rates be implemented immediately without any phase in period. Their concern is that a gradual phasing in of the increased rates for the irrigation users would not be as noticeable and may even get "lost" in the normal monthly fluctuations in their water bills. For the conservation measures to have maxunum impact reducing unnecessary water use, the big irrigation users have to understand that there is a substantial savings through eliminating unnecessary use. The WMD did not object to phasing in the commercial rate changes because commercial customers have much less ability to vary their water use. The WMD has also advised that, after an adoption of a revised rate structure, the City should continue to monitor consumption and readjust the rates in future years if the new rate structure does not achieve enough reduction. With these comments from the WMD in mind, it appears that the City Commission has three options; 1) Eliminate the phase in for residential users; Adopt the water and sewer rates as recommended in the Apri128, 2003 workshop with the exception of eliminating the phase in of the residential changes. As a result, the full impact of the restructuring would be felt by residential users immediately. The commercial customer's rates would be gradually changed over afive-year period. One possible downside of . phis approach is that the City may receive less money through the AGENDA ITEM #~8E OCTOBER 13, 2003 • phase in period than under the current rates. The proposed restructuring with the five-year phase in was to be revenue neutral. However, if only a portion of that is phased in while other portions are implemented immediately, the effect on the City could be less revenues in the first 4 years. Mike Burton is re-calculating this option and should have an answer by the 10/13/03 meeting. 2) Eliminate the phase in of the rates and implement the full restructuring immediately. The rates originally planned for the 5`}' (final) year of the phase in would become effective immediately for both residential and commercial customers. This would be revenue neutral to the City although many customers would see an increase or a decrease in their monthly bills depending on their consumption patterns. 3) Redesign the proposed rate, structure. There may be other options for the rate restructuring that would be acceptable to the WMD that have not yet been discussed. Staff is not aware of any other options at this time. Additional consulting fees would be.spent to do evaluate different alternatives. • BUDGET: The restructuring of the water and sewer rates was calculated to be revenue neutral to the city, which means that there would be no budget impact. Adoption of Option 2 where all rate changes were implemented immediately would be revenue neutral. If Option 1 was adopted with a five-year commercial phase in, then there would be some effect on the City's revenues, although that amount has not yet been determined. RECOMMENDATION: Ask for a report from Mike Burton at the Commission meeting and choose between Option 1 or Option 2. Staff would then prepare an ordinance for Commission consideration. ATTACHMENTS: 1) Memo from Mark Soskin, consultant to the WMD, explaining their views on the proposed restructuring. 2) Minutes from Apri128, 2003 Commission workshop and attachments • AGENDA ITEM #8E OCTOBER 13, 2003 From: Mark Soskin, UCF, Consultant to SJRWMD, September 30, 2003 Talkin oints for Oct. 2nd Teleconference with Atlantic Beach and their consultants gP Recommended Responses to Sept 16th inquiries from Donna Kaluzniak The District is concerned with implementation of a new rate structure that produces immediate overall net conservation. Pursuant to that objective: • Since the composition of water usage is overwhelmingly residential in Atlantic Beach, The city's request to "to retain a phased in approach for some of the customers (commercial customers), but change the water volume rates immediately (in the first year) for maximum impact" is acceptable, provided that it is understood that no further "hardship" extensions or delays will be tolerated for commercial rates. • A steep water-conserving residential rate structure is to be implemented without phase-in because: • Phase-in cannot be justified on hardship grounds: virtually all impact of higher billintis will fall on high-usage customers with the greatest abilit~to paX. • Furthermore, unlike commercial businesses, high-usage residences always have the option to reduce their water consumption to keep their bills from rising without sacrificing any essential use requirements. According to existing usage patterns, virtually all usage reductions desired by the District can be accomplished by reduction in residential initiation. • Residential rate hase-in would severely diminish the overall conservation-inducing impact of the new rate structure. Besides sacrificinti water usage reductions during the initial years of the new CUP permit, a series of smaller rate increases would not produce as much overall usage-reduction as immediate implementation would. This is because high-usage residents would observe smaller increases in their monthly bills that could easily g~o unnoticed amidst month-to-month seasonal variations in usage. • In response to "We tivould like to determine exactly what the District would approve before we spend additional time and money on consulting, " an alternative would be for Atlantic Beach to ask the District to have its consultants (UCF) redesign the residential rate structure. • To do so however, Atlantic Beach would need to respond to the District's repeated formal requests for the city's current residential user distribution (1~ usa e~; class). The District requires that information in any case before it can award a CUP renewal to Atlantic Beach. • The UCF consultants for the District could quickly. design a residential rate structure that satisfies the District's requirements for water usage reductions as well as the city's AGENDA ITEM #8E OCTOBER 13, 2003 priority concerns about revenue neutrality and insulating low-end users from dramatic bill increases. In response to "... will the District require us to sharpen the incline even further, and if so, by hoN~ much?"A steer residential rate structure (such as the one illustrated by the rate example sent to you last month) would be much more likely to achieve the desired levels of water conservation than the rate structure proposed by you from your consultants. The applicable economic principle here is that the cost of additional capacity should be shifted fully onto the users who create the need for that new capacity, in this case the high-usage residents. Because overall gains in conservation are most easily achieved from these high-usage residents, it is they who should face the top marginal usa e~ charges associated with a more steeply increasing rate structure. Resulting conservation would postpone or possibly even cancel the long term need to developing new, high-cost alternative sources of water supply for the city. From: Kaluzniak, Donna [mailto:dkaluzniak(a,ci.atlantic-beach.fl.us] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 2:23 PM To: Caroline Silvers Cc: Hanson, Jim; Van Liere, Nelson; mburton@burtonandassociates.com Subject: Water rates Caroline, we met with our consultant to discuss the District's most recent comments on the water and sewer rates. We would like to determine exactly what the District would approve before we spend additional time and money on consulting and before we bring a revised rate proposal before the City Commission: * Is the 5th year rate in the structure we provided acceptable to the District as a sufficient water conserving rate to meet our permitting requirement? If not, will the District require us to sharpen the incline even further, and if so, by how much? If the proposed 5th year rate is acceptable, but the District recommends more of an incline in future years, how much of an incline will be required and by what date? * Would it be acceptable Thanks for your help in clarifying these issues. -Donna • AGENDA ITEM #8E OCTOBER 13, 2003 ~~ MINUTES OF THE CITY COMMISSION WORKSHOP MEETING HELD IN ATLANTIC BEACH COMMISSION CHAMBERS ON MONDAY, APRIL 28, 2003.

Water and Sewcr Rates: Follow-up presentation by Burton and Associates Mike Burton of Burton and Associates, the fum hired to conduct a water and sewer rate structure study, summarized the objectives of the study and briefly reviewed the two rate structure scenarios that were presented to the City Commission at a previous meeting. He presented comparisons ofthe current rates and the proposed rates. Mr. Burton presented a plan to phase in the proposed new rate structure over afive-year period and also provided a summary of the impact of the new rate structure on both residential and commercial customers with different meter sizes and different consumption rates. Mr. Burton pointed out that the plan was revenue-neutral and a small across-the-board percentage increase could be added to the proposed rates if additional revenue was needed. He pointed out that the impact of such an increase would be felt less during the first year as, under the proposed plan, many customers would experience a reduction in their utility bills in the first year. A copy of Mr. Burton's Rate Structure Analysis is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The City Manager inquired regarding the proposed rates for irrigation meters and was advised that the rate for irrigation meters would begin at the Block 3 (over 13,000 gallons) rate, He pointed out that there would be no sewer charge for irrigation meters, but he felt the higher water rate should achieve the objective of water conservation, . The Mayor inquired how labor-intensive the task would be to notify customers and adjust rates on an annual basis if the new rates were phased in over afive-year period and the City Manager felt that it would be relatively easy to notify customers on their utility bill or by separate mailing. AGENDA ITEM #8E OCTOBER 13, 2003 Page Two Minutes -City Commission Workshop April 28, 2003 The City Manager felt that small inflationary increases would be needed in the future and pointed out that the matter of the City of Jacksonville 5% franchise fee had not yet been resolved so he did not know at this time what impact that issue may have on total revenues. Discussion ensued regarding the type of customer notification that would be required and it was pointed out that customers must be given thirty days notice of proposed rate adjustments and must be notified in the same manner as they are billed. It was felt that because of the city's phased billing schedule it would be better to do a special mailing. Following further discussion it was the consensus of the City Commission to move ahead to implement the plan as presented and to handle it as a separate issue and not make it part of the budget process. The City Commission suggested that Mr. Burton proceed to bring the plan before the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) for their approval. Commissioner Waters inquired by what authority the SJRWMD required the city to adopt water conservation rates. Donna Kaluzniak responded that this was a condition of the consumptive use permit and agreed to provide Commissioner Waters with a copy of the ruling. In discussion regarding the City of Jacksonville 5% franchise fee, the Mayor said he thought the interlocal agreement would prohibit the levying of such a franchise fee on the City, or at least require that rt be negotiated and not arbitrarily applied. He said he would discuss this matter at lus next meeting with Mayor Delaney and he would also try to get Jacksonville to return the money Atlantic Beach has already paid. 2. Strategic Plan: Discussion of proposed projects to be included under Strategic Plan priorities established by the Mayor and City Commission in March 2003 The City Manager said previous strategic plans were more precise but the current plan was much broader and not always clear and he needed further Commission input to finalize some projects. He presented a list of recommendations for finalizing the strategic plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The following items were discussed: Mayport Road/Marsh Oaks -Water/Sewer Extensions Commissioner Waters thought the city should install water and sewer lines in those areas where public utilities did not currently exist, and following discussion it was agreed that staffwould develop a map indicating where water and sewer lines are currently located, and also indicating which lots were vacant. The City Commission could then look into the feasibility and cost effectiveness of installing further utilities in Marsh Oaks. AGENDA ITEM #8E , OCTOBER 13, 2003 Page Three .Minutes -City Commission Workshop April 28, 2003 Marsh Oaks Traffic Study The Mayor pointed out that a traffic study ofthis area had already been done so no further action was needed in this regard. Community Character/Ambiance The City Manager felt there would not be much community support for new regulations but Commissioner Waters thought that without adopting new regulations, the City could develop a list of the types of construction materials they would like developers to use and then give incentives to property owners who used construction materials included on the list. He felt there was a continuing problem with boats being parked in front yards and thought the City Commission should revisit this matter. He thought established setbacks should be respected and he would like to see the tree planting program focus on planting trees that would create a canopy rather than palm trees. Bike Paths It was thought that the City should move ahead to construct bike paths on Plaza and Seminole Road following which other bike paths could be considered. Recreation Center Discussion ensued and Commissioner Waters suggested the city set aside a certain amount of money each year to eventually build a recreation center. Commissioner Parsons suggested purchasing land now while large enough tracts are still available. The Mayor felt the city should not obligate all ofthe half-cent sales tax revenues for this project. He pointed out the city already has three community centers and he did not feel Atlantic Beach had the population to support a recreation center. He suggested this matter be discussed and voted on during the budget process. The City Manager said that the Finance Director was working on ahalf--cent sales tax project list that would be discussed at a workshop in May or June. There being no further discussion, the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 6:45 p.m. Maureen King, CMC City Clerk r~ ~~ AGENDA ITEM #8E OCTOBER 13, 2003 City of Atlantic Beach Rate Structure Analysis ' customer Impact of Rat~Pbasinq Plan Current Year 1 Year 2 year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Hates: ' water customer char a ana rs i ~ enar e Customer Charge NA $0.58 $0.69 _ $0.80 $0.91 $1.03 RTS Charge 3I4" $626 $626 $5.89. $5.52 $5.15 $4.77 1 " $6.26. $626. $6.19 $6.12 •$6.05 $5.97 1.1/2" $62fi .$6.26 $7.68 $9.10 $10.52 $11.93 2" $626 $6.26 $9.47 $12.68 $15.89 $19.09 3" . $6.26 $626 $1424 $2222 $3020 $38.19 4" $626. $G26 $19.61 $32.96 $46.31 $59.67 6" $626 $626 $34.53 $62.80 $91.07 $119.34 8" 6.26 .26 52.43 98.60 144.77 190.94 Upper Water Block Ranaes Block 1 3,000 3;000 3,000 3,000 3,000 3,000 Block 2 ~ 8,000 8,000 8,000 8,000 8,000 8,000 Block 3 ~ 13,000 13,000 13,000 13,000 13,000 13,000 Block 4 '18,000 18,000 18,000 18,000 18,000 18,000 Block 5 and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over Water Flow Rates By Block Block 1 $0.00 $0.00 $0.05. $0.10 $0.15 $021 Block 2 $1.71 '$1.71 .$1.62 $1.53 $1.44 $1.34 Block 3 $1.71 $2.14 $2.11 $2.08 $2.05 $2.01 Block 4 $1.71 $2.67 $2.76 $2.85 $2.94 $3,01 lock 5 $1.71 $3.34 $3.64 $3.94 $4.24 $4.53 Note: Conservation Rates on a licable to SFR fewer customer ena a ano r~ i ~ ~:nar e Customer Charge NA $0.58 $0.69 $0.80 $0.91 $1.03 RTS Charge 3/4` ~ $12.07 $12.07 $11.45 $10.83 $1021 $9.57 1" $15.45 $15.45 $14.58 $13.71 $12.64 $11.97 1 1/2" $25.11 $25.1 i $24.81 $24.51 $2421 $23.92 2" $34.76 $34.77 $35.64 $36.52 $37.40 $38.28 3" $67.59 $67.59 $69.83 ..$72.07 $74.31 $76.55 4" $120.70 $120.70 $120.43 $120.16 $119.89 $119.61 6" $241.40 $241.40 $240.86 $240.32 $239.78 $239.22 8" 241.40 41.40 76.74 12.08 347.42 382.75 Upper Sewer Black Ranaes Block 1 3,000 3,000 3,000 3,000 3,000 3,000 Block 2 , 8,000 8,000 8,000 8,000 8,000 8,000 Block 3 13,000 13,000 13,000 13,000 13,000 13,000 Block 4 18,000 18,000 18,000 18,000 .18,000 18,000 Block 5 and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over and Over Block 1 $0.00 $0.00 $0.19 $0.38 $0.57 $0.76 Block 2 ' $3.64 $3.64 $3.99 $4.34 $4.69 $5.02 Block 3 $3.64 $3.64 $3.99 $4.34 $4.69 $5.02 • Block 4 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 ~ $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 'Block 5 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 Note: Sewer Cap only applicable to SFR EXH Workshop Minut AGENDA ITEM #8E OCTOBER 13, 2003 City of Atlantic Seach `_ _____ __ Rate Structure Analysis Summaty R~ ~e~ of ~stomQr Imnact of Ftate Phasing Ptan i i Cust Class Meter Size Monthly Usa Currert Month) Water and Sewer Biil Year 1 Year Z Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Single Family.Residential 314' 3,000 ;20.17 519.49 519.44 519.39 519.34 $19.31 Single Fatuity Residennia! 3!4' 7,000 .541.57 540.89 541.88 54267 543.86 544.75 Single Family Residenrtial 314' 15,000 STT 09 580.46 583.51 586.54 589.57 59228 Mutts -Family Residential 314' 17,000 598.88 595.90 598.18 5100.45 510272 5104.72 Jiffy Store 314' 13,000 573.67 572.99 575.54 578.09 $80.64 582.91 Dentist 1' 6,000 540.12 538.92 539.70 540.48 541.26 $41.99 Veterinarian 2' 42,000 5254.97 5250.84 5266.00 S281,17 5296.34 5310.38 Restaurant Z' 109,000 S613.42 560929 5641.87 5674.46 5707.05 5736.50 Cult pass Meter Size Monthly Usa a Cumulative Percent Cha Cun•ert Year 1 a from Current Month) Year 2 Year 3 Water and Sewer BiII Year 4 ~ Year 5 Single Family Residential 314' 3,000 NA 3.3776 3.62% -3.87% -4.12% -4,26% Single.Famiiy Residential 314" 7,D00 NA -1.64% 0.75% 3.1396 S.St% 7,65% Single Family Residential 314' 15,000 NA 4.40% 8.3396 1226% 16.19% 19,7D% MuIU -Family Residential 3/4" 17,000 NA 3.01% -0.72% 1.58% 3.8896 5,90% tfiyStore .314" 13,000 NA ,-0.92% 254% 6.00% 9.46% 1254% Dentist 1' 6,000 NA -29896 -1.04% 0.91% 28596 4.6796 Veterinarian 2' 42,000 NA -1.62% 4.3396 10.2896 1623% 21,7396 Restaurart ~ 2' 109,000 NA -0.67% 4.64% 9.95% 15.26% 20,06°,6 Cost Class Meter Size Monthly Usa a Annual Percent Cha Current Year 1 from Prior Year 2 Yew Nonthl Year 3 Water and Sewer Bill Year 4 Year 5 Single Family Residentlai 314" 3,000 NA -3.3796 -0.26% -0.2696 -0.26% -0.16% Singe Family Residential 314' 7,000 ~ • .
