a history of the stop sign(s) on 116 Street and requested for the second

the street at Seminole Road, East Coast Drive and Ocean Boulevard to
assist people who are going to the beach. Mr. Totter's statement is
attached and made part of this official record as Attachment A.
Alan Potter of 374 Second Street felt the cost estimate of$12M+ for
improvements recommended in the Sewer Master Plan was too high and

improvements to the Adele Grage Community Center, and the
Aikenhead and Odom Preliminary Drainage Report as not being worth
what the city has paid.

increases each year.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2000 COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 25,2000
SMAYOR/COMMISSSIONERS
I'M SORRY THAT I MISSED THE LAST MEETING(9/11)BUT MY BROTHER AND SISTER IN-
LAW WERE IN TOWN FROM MAINE ON THEIR WAY TO SARASOTA. IT WAS HIS 73RD
BIRTHDAY.
AT THE MEETING I ATTENDED ON 8/28 MAYOR JOHN SAID THAT THE REASON FOR THE
4-WAY STOP SIGN AT 11TH AND EAST COAST WAS NOT FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL BUT
POLITICAL.
I WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN I RECEIVED A LEITER FROM OUR CITY MANAGER SAYING
THAT THE COMMISSION HAD VOTED TO LEAVE THE SIGN—READ LE I"1ER. Cep( f)
THE CITY CLERK WAS VERY COOPERATIVE AND GAVE ME A COPY OF THE STAFF REPORT
DATED 8/29 FROM CHIEF THOMPSON,BUT SHE DID NOT HAVE ANY RECORDS FROM THE
FEBRUARY, 1998 MEETING OR WHY/WHEN THE SIGN WAS PUT IN THE BEGINNING.
SHE RECOMMENDED THAT I SPEAK WITH CHIEF THOMPSON.
• HE WAS VERY COOPERATIVE AND EXPLAINED THAT THE FEBRUARY, 1998 MEETING WAS
PROBABLY A QUESTION ASKED WITH NO RECORDS KEPT. NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THE
SIGN WAS PUT IN OR WHY. UNTIL THE COMMISSION VOTED THAT THEY MUST APPROVE
SIGNS,HE USED TO FIND THEM WHEN HE RAN THEM.
HIS REPORT IS THAT THE STOP SIGN SHOULD BE REMOVED AND HAS BEEN SINCE 1995.
-READ REPORT#1- (-eX # Z)
THE NEXT PARAGRAPH IS ABOUT THE POLITICS OF THE SITUATION. THE CONCERN OF
THE UNKNOWN NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO MAY WALK TO THE BEACH AND THEIR
POSSIBLE REACTION TO THE SIGN REMOVAL.
-READ REPORT#2-
THE POLICE CHIEF IS NOT THE ADVERARY TO THE SIGN REMOVAL. HE AGREES THAT
THE SIGN IS NOT NECESSARY FOR ANY TRAFFIC REASON AND THAT TRAFFIC CONTROLS
IN GENERAL CAUSE PROBLEMS. THE LARGEST NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS IN ATLANTIC
BEACH ARE AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT PLAZA AND MAYPORT. CYTO:

Date:
• THE PEOPLE OF SELVA LINKS AND SELVA LAKES HAVE TO CROSS THREE MAJOR STREETS
TO GET TO THE BEACH. THE FIRST IS SEMINOLE,WHICH IS ALSO A SCHOOL CROSSING
AND A SCHOOL BUS STOP, WHERE THERE ARE NO TRAFFIC CONTROLS ON SEMINOLE.
I AM NOT SUGGESTING A 4-WAY STOP OR TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THIS BUSY INTERSECTION,
BUT IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.
THE NEXT IS EAST COAST WHICH HAS A 4-WAY STOP SIGN AND OCEAN WITHOUT ANY
CONTROL ON OCEAN.
WHY DO THEY NEED A 4-WAY ONLY ON EAST COAST? WHY NOT ALL THREE? NO ONE
HAS ANSWERED.
I ASKED DAVID WHY NO ONE HAD ASKED MY MOTIVATION FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE
SIGN. HE SAID IT WAS HIS NEXT QUESTION.
THE SIGN CAUSES PROBLEMS,ESPECIALLY IN THE RAIN,OF BACKING UP CARS FOR NO
REASON. THE PEOPLE THAT WALK TO THE BEACH ARE ADULTS OR FAMILIES AND NOT
. MANY OF THEM WALK BY,BUT THE CARS ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP ALL DAY/NIGHT
CAUSING CONGESTION AND NOISE PROBLEMS,LOUD RADIOS,MUFFLERS,ETC. DAVID
SAID I FORGET THE ENGINE EMISSIONS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARY ALSO.
YOUR CONCERN FOR THIS ONE STREET IS NOT LOGICAL BUT YOU MAKE A POINT.
CHANGE TAKES ENERGY.
I THEREFORE CHANGE MY REQUEST-THAT THE STOP SIGN ON EAST COAST/111H STREET
BE REMOVED AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SIGNS BE PLACED ON EAST COAST(STOP
SIGN REMOVED) AND 11TH STREET. ALSO THAT A PEDESTRIAN WALK BE PAINTED
ACROSS EAST COAST.
THIS WILL DISPEL YOUR CONCERN FOR OUR FELLOW CITIZENS WALKING ON I ITH
STREET. YOU SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS ON ALL THREE
CORNERS BUT I'M ONLY INTERESTED IN EAST COAST.
THE COST FOR THE SIGN REMOVAL,FOUR NEW PEDESTRIAN SIGNS, AND PAINTING THE
CROSSWALK WILL BE MINIMAL. THANK YOU.

RE: Stop Sign
Dear Mr. Totter;
When you came to the City Commission meeting on Augus 14 requesting that the stop sign at
the intersection of 11t and East Coast be removed, staff was .sked to prepare a history of the
. issue for consideration at the next meeting. A report was prepared showing that the possible
removal of this stop sign was discussed by the City Commission both in 1995 and 1998. After
consideration of the past history, and after expressing a concern for pedestrian safety of people
utilizing 11t street to get to the beach and other factors, the Commission declined to take any
action to remove the stop sign. Consequently, the stop sign will remain.
Thank you for your interest in traffic safety. By copy of this letter to the Police Chief, I am
requesting that officers keep an eye on motorists that may run the stop sign and issue tickets
where appropriate. I am,
Very truly yours,
T Hanson

CITY STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Stop Sign at 11th and Eastcoast Drive
1 DATE: August 29, 2000
SUBMITTED BY: David E. Thompson, Chief of Police/DPS
IBACKGROUND: At the City Commission Meeting August 28, 2000, the question
arose relative to the need for the 4 Way Stop located at l lth Street
1 and Eastcoast Drive.
This issue has been addressed and discussed with the City (t.
iCommission in the past, including November 1995 and February,
1998.
1 In October 1995, the Parking and Traffic Committee recommended
the removal of stop signs at three (3) locations. One location
Iidentified for removal was at 11th Street and Eastcoast Drive. It
• was determined that there was no inherently dangerous traffic
\� feature that made it necessary to have a four(4) way stop at that
Lation.
ii
However, it was also recognized that people become dependent on
sto igis,_and removal of stop signs will likey result in some 11� �
` backlash from ci+ize s- here are numerous neoiile±om Selva_ Tt4'_,�w� ?

They may obiect to removing the 4 way stop at Eastcoast Drive and
11th Street. Additionally, people are habitual creatures, and the
removal of the stop signs may create a short term hazard for people
II who are accustomed to crossing at the intersection...knowing that
the traffic is going to stop, or at least give the pedestrians the right-
of-way.
IIThese issues were discussed by the City Commission, and the
Commission did not take any action to remove the stop signs.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Water/Sewer Rate Increases
SUBMITTED BY: Jim Hanson, Ci Ma
DATE: September 6, 2000
BACKGROUND:
During the budget review process, it was recommended that the City Commission adopt
increases to the water and sewer rates that would produce an additional $630,000 per year so that
a total of$1,000,000 per year would be available for water and sewer capital projects. I also
recommended that rates be increased in future years to keep up with inflation. The rate increase
• required to produce $631,000 would be approximately 14%. After discussion, the Commission
directed the rate increase to be spread over a two year period. The attached ordinance will
accomplish that.
The recommended rate increases will be made on an"across the board"basis by 8% per year
effective October 1, 2000 and October 1, 2001. Two 8% increases versus the original
recommendation of 14% is to account for 2% anticipated inflation over the next two years. The
"across the board" increase is recommended rather than the rate restructuring which was
originally discussed so as to be able to treat all classes of customers, equally. After running
numerous models of various options to restructure the rates, staff could not find any that would
have substantially the same percent increase on all groups of customers.
While the rate restructuring is not recommended at this time, it will be recommended after this
present two year rate increase is phrased in. There are five factors about the Atlantic Beach water
and sewer rates that add complication to the rate calculations, make our rates substantially
different from those of other surrounding utilities and raise questions of fairness between
customer classes as follows;
1) The City utilizes a 3,000 gallon minimum for most residential customers. Unlike other
cities that charge a base charge and begin volume charges at zero, Atlantic Beach has a
minimum charge that includes the first 3,000 gallons.
•
Al r..,own iaa,irarr,v
SEPTEMBER 25,2000
• 2) There is a 75% provision for multi family/unit residential customers whereby the
minimum is only charged at 75% of what single family residential customers are
charged, but the base volume included in that charge is 2,250 gallons instead of the
3,000 gallons. Consequently, bills for multi family customers calculate the average
consumption per customer and begin the volume charges for all usage over a average
of 2,250 gallons per residential unit. The monthly minimums are adjusted differently
for hotels, travel trailers, and commercial customers.
3) There is no sewer service charged on single family residential customers for volumes in
excess of 13,000 gallons.
4) Inside City sewer customers pay a state revenue generation charge of$1.84 per month
in addition to the minimum.
5) Outside City water customers pay an additional 10%tax upon water sales which is
forwarded to the City of Jacksonville.
For all of these reasons, the Atlantic Beach rates are more complicated than they need to be
which increases administrative costs and raises questions of fairness between customer classes. It
would be better for the City to restructure its rates to bring them more in line with those of other
utilities. However, any restructuring would undoubtedly raise the rates for some groups of
• customers while lowering them for others. Consequently, this restructuring is not being
recommended at the same time as the rate increase.
Two other modifications to the utility ordinance are recommended to clarify existing
requirements for a turn on fee and to simplify deposits. The attached ordinance amending the
City's utility code includes clarifying language on the fee currently charged to all new customers
to have service initiated. This fifteen dollar ($15) fee has been charged for years, however the
language in the code allowing for this charge is not clear and was subject to misinterpretation.
The ordinance amends section 22-20 of the code.
Also addressed in the ordinance is a change in the required deposit for residential customers.
The existing deposit is based on the utility bill at the location for the average of two months. This
meant that every customer could have a different deposit based on a history that may or may not
be representative of their consumption habits. Therefore, for the residential customers a set dollar
amount of$125 would be collected as is the practice of the other utilities in the area. Whether
this is an increase or a decrease depends on the account but with this change the required deposit
will become uniform. It will also be much easier to administer. This will only affect new
customers or customers that had their deposits returned after the two year good history and
subsequently have to redeposit if the account begins to develop a bad payment history. This
amendment changes section 22-27.1.
