Some parents felt existing laws were not being consistently enforced and stated that their children had been recently stopped by the police and told they could not skateboard in the street. They felt they should be allowed to skateboard in the street if there were no safety issues. The majority of those who spoke felt the city. should not ban skateboarding in all public areas, and favored the construction of a supervised skateboard park. They felt that skateboarding provided exercise, transportation and a means of expression.

He said he was a personal injury attorney and volunteered to help to rewrite the ordinance.

Mayor Meserve indicated that the city was concerned with safety and liability.

The Recreation Department is studying various alternatives to install physical barriers on park equipment to discourage skateboarding. A report will be made on those barriers at a future meeting. The Police Department has also requested that the City Commission adopt an ordinance prohibiting skateboarding in Bull Park. Without an ordinance on the books, the Police Department cannot charge repeat offenders with any violation of our laws. Language has been prepared to prohibit skateboarders in all City parks and adjacent to City buildings unless the area is specifically authorized for use by skateboarders. It will be presented. in a staff report on this November 11 ~' agenda. Driveway/Parking next to Lopanik Property on Cavalla Road; A resident next to the City owned lot on Cavalla Road attended the Commission meeting on October 28~' wanting to know how the sale of the lot to the developer of the Pic-N-Save property would affect his parking. The proposed site plan for redevelopment of the rear portion of the former Pic-N-Sav site is depicted on the attached site plan. Within the last week, the City sold a portion of Lot 3 to the developer of the Pic-n-Sav site. There is a shared access easement over the existing driveway that runs through Lot 3. This driveway provides. access around the back of the multi-family building and back .onto Cavalla Road. This driveway will remain, as it now exists: As required by one condition of the use-by-exception, the Cavalla Road access from the development is a right turn only driveway. As such, commercial traffic isprohibited from turning in front of the multi-family units. The project is also subject to the buffering requirements of Section 24-167 of the Land Development Regulations, which require a fence, wall or landscaping to be installed along the property. line. The. developer has proposed to accomplish the required buffer with a fence separating the private driveway and the .rest of the project. At staffls request he has also agreed to add additional landscaping beyond that required by the regulations along Cavalla Road. The resident has paved off street parking in front of his unit in the Cavalla Apartments. The sale of the City land to the Pic-N-Sav developer will have no .affect on the parking in front of his unit. AGENDA ITEM #3A NOVEMBER 11, 2002 Sherry Drive Parking; Several weeks ago, Commissioners requested that the Police Department look into the hotel parking on the south end of Sherry Drive which appeared to be obstructing traffic. A separate staff report on that issue is included in this agenda. Graffti_on_Private_Wall Adjacent to 18`" Street Beach Access Parking;. Graffiti has been a problem on the wall located on the south side of the 18 Street beach access parking lot for many years. In recent months the problem seems to have gotten much worse. While the private owner has painted over graffiti in the past, it may not be reasonable to expect the owner to continue given the recently increased frequency. The most reasonable solution appears to be for the City to take responsibility for painting over the graffiti in the future because the problem is associated with City-provided parking. City staff has contacted the property pwner, who would be happy for the City to do so. The Mayor and Commission should approve this public maintenance of private property as being in the public's interest before any work is done: Decorative Crosswalks on East Coast Drive; A separate staff report has also been prepared for the Commission's. consideration in this agenda. Church/Dutton Naming; At the last Commission meeting and from many other sources, people.. have requested what the City should do about the possible name of the new road after Church Street and Dutton Road are connected. A separate staffreport is also included on that item later inthis agenda. ~ ~ AGENDA ITEM #3A NOVEMBER 11, 2002 i NoTE: AccESS n_~ EE~~PENALLY PROVIDED TO AD'JACE3~17 PROPERTY Driveway to be maintained ~ CONSTRUCT ~iJCE AR{ REAR OF SITE AS SNOT Lopanik ACCORDANCE WITH qT residence ATLANTIC EiEACH REflUlRE]~dENTS ~ ~ ~ ~7~EN dLlZObYC ~~ - "'" " I ~' REMOVE EXISTING CURE CONSTRUCT 20' WIDE ) ~ + ~_ . f~ ASP AlT3 RIVE~AY j ~ (~tE7E DRIVEWAY p - - - - - - - - - ! a u, ! 1 !^ ---..._... _ ._._ ~ (RIGHT OUT ONLY) WIT ! ~ ~ STANDARD DROP CURE 1 ~ ~ o ~ ''' '"~ City-owned '.,,r.. .. ~ ~~ Portion , STOP SIGN / NO LEFT . ~ 2 ~ of Lot 3 , ,`: TURN SIGN ^ ,~ ~s • EA ' ~~ + ^ ^ _" _____-__ f• J o Y o r,N,~ ~ Q ~ i .s ~ r ' o6d ~ V, }. 5, ~ BOC3 3' r ~ ~ '~ _ _ _ _ ~~ poi ^ ^ ^ ^ ,a. ~ ~~ ~ f ~~ i ~ ~ ° g ^ s' ~~ Q f1~ i ~ ~; eA ---- jp ------ ~ M1~ 3.50T~CI ~ ~ i Q ^ ~ ^ ,j , ~CRE'!E DUMPSTER ~ . • .. ~ ~ !

ATTACHMENT B NOVEMBER 11, 2002 COMMISSION MEETING CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION MEETING STAFF REPORT AGENDA ITEM: Design/Build Relocation,.Installation and Coating of Elevated Storage Tank at Water Plant 2 Bid No. 0203-2 SUBMITTED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, CEP, Utility Director . DATE: November 4,.2002 BACKGROUND: Camp, Dresser & McKee's (CDM) Water Master Plan recommended the addition of an elevated storage tank at Water Plant No. 2 (2301 Mayport Road} as part of the Capital Improvement Program. The purpose of the tank would be to provide additional storage capacity and improve system reliability. Late in the budget process, the City received an offer from Mr. Wendell McKinnon, Vice-Mayor of City of Kissimmee, to donate a 300;000-gallon elevated tank located on his private property to the City of Atlantic Beach. The tank was originally owned by the City of Kissimmee, but had been replaced with a newer tank at a different location. Mr. McKinnon stated he would give the tank to the City of Atlantic Beach provided the City pay for-the cost of removing the tank from his property and complete the removal prior to January 1, 2003.: Mr. McKinnon's willingness to give us the tank was due to the .fact that, in his opinion, Florida taxpayers had already paid for the tank once, so he wanted to donate it to another municipality in Florida. The premise was that the City could save a significant amount of money over the cost of installing a new tank at Water .Plant No. 2. The City Commission expressed interest in the project, so City staff and their tank consultant, HGTI, inspected the tank and found it to be in excellent condition. In order to expedite the project to meet the tank removal deadline of January 1, staffadvertised the tank relocation as a designlbuild project. Contractors were allowed to provide innovative ideas or alternatives. Similar to several previous design/build projects, the contractors were directed to submit technical proposals, which were scored. by staff prior to receipt of bids. Bid award is based on the lowest adjusted score, which is the base bid divided by the. technical score. Four proposals were received on October 23, 2002, and were evaluated and scored by staff. WPC Industrial Contractors. described alternate options in their proposal, but did not submit alternate proposals as directed. in the RFP; therefore, scoring for all of their alternates was based on the single proposal submitted. 1 AGENDA ITEM #4B NOVEMBER 11, 2002 Bids were received on October 30, 2002 from three contractors with various alternates as follows: Contractor Classic Gruhn May, Gruhn WPC WPC WPC Protective Inc..

Score Adjusted 8333.05 6640.62 7215.60 5975.77 7622.63 7952.01 Score The bidder with the lowest adjusted score was WPC Industrial Contractors, for the alternate to relocate the existing tank, to include recoating only (encapsulating the- existing coating) on the interior and exterior of the tank, as opposed to blasting and re-coating the tank. BUDGET: Because Mr: McKinnon's offer was received so late in the budget process, no funds were included in the FY 03 budget for this project. The estimated cost from our tank consultant was under $350,000. RECOMMENDATION: Because the bids received were much higher than the estimated cost, and no funds are budgeted in the current fiscal year, staff recommends rejecting all bids at this time, preparing a design for a new tank, and budgeting funds for a new tank in a future fiscal year.
