Mayor Shaughnessy and Commissioner Borno believed the Commission were
given options for different types of speed bumps and made their choice, but
did not actually design the speed bumps.
Much discussion ensued concerning cutting out the center section of the
existing speed bumps. Commissioner Beaver stated that Beach Avenue had
recently been repaved and he did not want the speed bump cuts to remove the
underlying asphalt.
Mayor Shaughnessy stated she preferred four smaller speed bumps (rumble
strips) and suggested staff consider options and make a recommendation at the
next meeting.
City Manager Jarboe reiterated staffs opposition to speed bumps and stated
all decisions concerning speed bumps are made by the Commission.
Paul Parsons of Mipaula Court stated that originally he had requested that
ie speed bumps be removed, but a compromise concerning the speed bumps
would be satisfactory, and he asked that the proposed cut be wide enough to
accommodate a stroller.
Some further discussion ensued concerning the figuration of the speed bumps
and Mayor Shaughnessy stated that the intent of the motion was to place the
cutouts in the speed bumps one and one-half feet on each side of the centerline
of Beach Avenue.
There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.
D. Discussion and Related Action on a Suggestion to Remove
Underbrush and Install Benches and a Drinking Fountain in

keep some of the vegetation for privacy and suggested that input be received

Commissioner Borno stated that resident input had already been received and
they understood that the path would be approximately six feet wide and
meander through the park area to keep the blocking benefit.
There being no further comments or discussion the motion carried
unanimously.

Dr. Sylvia Simmons, Chairperson of the Animal Control Review
Committee, reviewed the four motions of the minutes of the previous

City Manager Jarboe reported that the City Attorney would be present at
the next meeting to answer the committee's questions.
City Manager Jarboe then requested that he be replaced on the committee
due to Sunshine Law requirements which prohibited him from discussing
the proposed changes with Director Thompson and Code Enforcement
Officer Grunewald, both of whom serve on the same committee. Mayor
Shaughnessy accepted City Manager Jarboe's resignation and appointed
Eloise Koerber of 1476 Linkside Drive to the committee.
Commissioner Borno believed that revisions to the ordinance were
necessary to make people responsible for both leashed and unleashed
animals and requested that the two issues be addressed. He believed that
if the dog is unleashed the ordinance should be more strict than for an
animal that is leashed and under control and trying to defend itself
commissioner Borno believed leniency should not be a consideration in
nese types of situations.
Mayor Shaughnessy reiterated that there were existing city codes to
allow everyone the right to go to the beach and not be disturbed by a dog,
either a loose dog or by stepping on the by-product of a dog. Mayor
Shaughnessy believed there should be better enforcement of existing
ordinances.
Mayor Shaughnessy reported that more frequent instances of unleashed
dogs on the beach are occurring and Dr. Simmons concurred. After
some further discussion of the problem, Mayor Shaughnessy stated she
did not want to take away the rights of the responsible dog owners who
use the beach.
A brief discussion of the reporting requirements of the committee ensued
and Mayor Shaughnessy requested that Dr. Simmons give a written
report to the Commission at the next meeting indicating how long the
task will take and a suggested final reporting date.
Commissioner Meserve inquired if the Animal Control Officer was the
my person who could write citations under the current ordinance, and
was told the Code Enforcement Officer and Law Enforcement Officers

could also write citations for violations of the leash law. He then
inquired if a serious incident occurred in front of witnesses, how this
situation would be addressed with regard to citing the owner of the dog
involved.
Dr. Simmons stated this was a gray area and would be discussed with
the City Attorney at tomorrow's committee meeting.

Mayport Road interchange projects to see if they could assist the city with the
costs involved with moving infrastructure in both places.
Mayor Shaughnessy referenced a letter from BHR, Inc. offering their assistance
with design needs for relocation of the utilities and inquired if they would do
the design for the city.
Public Works Director Kosoy responded they would be more than happy to do
the work for a fee. The Mayor then inquired if there would be any advantage
in doing this and Public Works Director Kosoy stated that since they are
already doing the improvements for the JEA and JTA, it would "marry" into
their design and get the work completed faster.
Mayor Shaughnessy then inquired if it would be more cost effective to go with
BHR, and City Manager Jarboe stated the only way to find out would be to
request proposals. Public Works Director Kosoy pointed out that when
requests for proposals are received, they would include rate schedules not
tual bids, but those could be compared.
Mayor Shaughnessy then asked if the request could be put out as a design/build
and City Manager Jarboe believed this could be done.
Alan Potter of 374 Second Street explained in detail how the city could save
several million dollars by tying the Buccaneer plant into the Atlantic Beach
Plant, thus avoiding the proposed $3 million Buccaneer Wastewater Treatment
Plant expansion.
Mayor Shaughnessy requested that Mr. Potter submit his ideas to the city in
writing. Mr. Potter agreed to do so by the next Commission Meeting.
Commissioner Borno requested information concerning the age and condition
of the existing lines mentioned.
Mayor Shaughnessy then inquired concerning the time frame of the JEA and
JTA projects. City Manager Jarboe stated they had not accelerated the project
since the last time he had spoken with the Mayor. Mayor Shaughnessy then
inquired if the city was supposed to start relocating its utility lines if their
project was only at the 60% design stage. City Manager Jarboe reiterated that
the City of Atlantic Beach needed to speak with them to see if there was some
ay to mediate the costs.

William McGee stated the city had the staff and ability to do the work and
suggested it be done in-house to save money.
Joe Posch of 142 Magnolia Street suggested that the City Engineer
correspond with the Design Engineer because the city cannot relocate pipes
until the design is complete. He believed the city would be wasting money if
they did anything before that time.
Jan Potter suggested that the City get the CAD disk when the design is
completed and use that information to relocate the lines.
There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.

7/30/98 Letter to the Editor-WRONGDOING !
Near the end of the Atlantic Beach City Commission meeting at about 11:15 P.M on Monday,
July 27,1998, Mr. Alan Jensen, the City Attorney announced that he had met with the State
Attorney's Investigator in regards to the purchase of equipment for the Buccaneer Waste
Water Plant.
The City Attorney further announced that the State Attorney's office had determined that no
wrongdoing occurred. The City Attorney continued that in the future, direct purchases are
OK, if the Commissioners state on the record that they are officially waiving the requirement.
Doesn't the City Attorney's statement indicate that wrongdoing had occurred, and that the
City Attorney is trying to subvert open competitive bidding?
The Shorelines July 29, 1998 described the Commission meeting, including the statement that
City Attorney Alan Jensen said he met with the investigator and the prosecutor from the
State's Attorney General's office who determined there had been no wrongdoing by the city
n regard to a bid leading to a purchase of wastewater plant equipment from Fluidyne
Corporation for $374,131.”
My telephone call to the State Attorney's office on Wednesday, July 29, 1998 revealed that the
decision on wrongdoing has not been made...my call also revealed that Mr. James Jarboe,
City Manager was included in the meeting..
Does the Atlantic Beach City Attorney have access to the State Attorney's decisions before
they have been made? What is the responsibility of the city attorney to accurately describe the
facts to the commission and the public in a timely manner?
Concerned Citizens of Atlantic Beach have questions in regards to the need for this proposed
equipment at the Buccaneer Plant.
Concerned Citizens of Atlantic Beach have questioned the no-bid procedure and the lack of
100% warranty and performance guarantees.
re there limits to wrongdoing?
