5. Action on Resolutions:_
a. Resolution No. 94-49 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF
ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA IDENTIFYING NEEDED WATER, SEWER
AND STORM WATER PROJECTS FOR THE REPAIR, EXPANSION AND
REPLACEMENT OF THE CITY'S EXISTING SYSTEM.
Mayor Fletcher presented in full, in writing, Resolution
No. 94-49 . He invited Jim Jarboe, Bob Kosoy, and Public
Works staff to present their report relative to the
capital improvement projects.
Jim Jarboe provided the Commission with a list of water,
sewer, and drainage projects (copy of Resolution 94-49
and Attachment A - Five Year Water and Sewer Capital
Outlay Estimate, attached herewith and made a part hereof
(Exhibit a) . He reviewed the scope of work that staff
recommended, and used maps to illustrate the location of
various sites. A video was provided and Ernest Beadle,
Public Works Inspector, explained the problems that had
been discovered in the sewer system when the lines had
been televised. Mr. Beadle gave his recommendations to
correct the problems.
A discussion ensued regarding whether it was more
economical to replace lines than to patch lines when
problems occurred, and it was felt best results would be
attained from replacing lines.
Alan Potter, 374 Second Street, reviewed the projects and
he felt while it was necessary to do the projects, the
V V
Page Three - Minutes NAME OF
November 14, 1994 COMMRS. MSYN
resolution was not clear as to where the funds to pay for
the projects would be derived. He referred to Section
1 of the Resolution which indicated there was an urgent
need for implementation of the list of projects. He felt
the projects were essential, but not urgent, and he felt
there was no revenue stream to support $13 million
dollars of capital improvements. He felt the city should
not issue bonds, and that the Barnett Bank loan was a
much better method of financing. He did not feel the
city needed a financial advisor.
Jim Jarboe, Deputy City Manager, indicated staff planned
to derive revenue for the projects from utility payments.
He explained it would be derelict for staff not to bring
to the attention of the city commission, a list of the
projects which needed to be undertaken. He added the
Finance Director felt the city should hire a financial
advisor. He indicated while staff did not authorize
projects, it would continue to bring projects to the
attention of the commission and that it was staff' s duty
to do this and to provide its best recommendation.
During discussion commissioners agreed the situation
needed to be addressed. Confidence in the ability and
recommendations of staff was expressed, as well as
agreement regarding the need for projects. It was agreed
that a financial advisor would be beneficial.
It was decided that more discussion should be held
concerning the priorities of the projects, as well as
funding, and that it would be best to defer action until
the meeting of November 28, 1994.
Kim Leinbach, City Manager, felt the city' s
responsibility was to provide citizens with reliable
services. He indicated it was upsetting when flooding
occurred in someone' s backyard. He urged the commission
to keep abreast of the situation, and he indicated staff
would provide their best professional judgement. He felt
at some point the city needed to address the problem.
Under discussion, it was felt since the commission might
not wish to identify priorities in the same order as
indicated on list, that it would be best to delete the
word "prioritizes" in Section 1 of the resolution. ROSENBLOOM X

During discussion it was suggested that since the
resolution might be deferred until November 28, 1994,

Page Four - Minutes NAME OF

that it would best not to seek a financial advisor but to
invite Barnett Bank to attend the next commission meeting
to discuss the possibility of a loan.
The question was called on the motion to delete
"priorities" in Section 1, and the vote resulted in all
ayes. The motion carried unanimously.
Under discussion, it was felt the City Manager had
previously received instruction to seek a financial
advisor, but it was felt a decision should be made
regarding the projects to be undertaken before seeking a
financial advisor. It was also decided to defer action
until November 28, 1994 at which time priorities would be
discussed.
ROSENBLOOM X
Motion: Defer action on Resolution 94-49 until SHAUGHNESSY X
November 28, 1994 at which time priorities of WATERS X X
projects will be discussed WEISS X

The question was called and the motion carried
unanimously.
Ann Meuse, Finance Director, advised when a financial
advisor was brought in it would be necessary to have a
dollar amount decided upon, and that it would only be
necessary to have a financial advisor if the dollar
amount was large. Alan Potter suggested inviting First
Union, Barnett, and American Banks to discuss a possible
loan.
b. Resolution No. 94-50 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF
ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, ENDORSING THE CONCEPT AND
AUTHORIZING FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE FEASIBILITY OF
CONSTRUCTING A WORLD CLASS AQUATIC CENTER LOCATED IN
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, FLORIDA, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE

6. Action of Ordinances:
a. Ordinance No. 90-94-162 - Public Hearing
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH AMENDING THE
ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY KNOWN AS PART OF LOTS

2 AND 3, SECTION 16, AND LOTS 1 AND 5, SECTION 17, ALSO
KNOWN AS RE#172027-0100, FROM OR, OPEN RURAL TO RS-1
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING
MAP TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Fletcher presented in full, in writing ordinance
No. 90-94-162, said ordinance having been posted in
accordance with Charter requirements. He opened the
floor for a public hearing and invited comments from the
audience.
Bill Noe, 599 Atlantic Boulevard, Suite 6, indicated he
was the Attorney represented Selva Linkside Partnership,
the owners of the property. He pointed out in this
matter the commission would act in a quasi-judicial
capacity. He explained all adjacent subdivisions at one
time were zoned "OR. " He explained three acres of land
were high and dry and Selva Linkside was asking that the
three acres be rezoned to allow the construction of six
single family homes. He further explained four acres
would be donated to the city by Selva Linkside. He
indicated the Department of Environmental Protection and
the Corps of Engineers would monitor the building of the
proposed homes, and that the land use would fit into the
comprehensive plan of the city. He felt if the city
denied the rezoning it would be an unjust taking of his
client' s land.
Following Mr. Noe ' s comments, residents June Morris,
President, Selva Linkside Unit 1 Homeowners Association,
Peter Fantegrossi, 1132 Linkside Drive, Kaycee Tusher,
1109 E. Linkside Court, Jerome Sternberg, Jr. , 1244
Linkside Drive, Roy A. Lundquist, 511 Selva Lakes Circle,
and George Ginsburg, 1173 Sandpiper Lane East, introduced
themselves and stated their opposition to the rezoning.
It was stated residents had been assured by the
developers that the property would never be built upon.
Concern was expressed that construction would adversely
affect wetlands, and that a lot of trees would be
destroyed. It was felt that the proposed development
would not have covenants and restrictions similar to
adjacent developments. It was explained by June Morris
that petitions opposing the rezoning had previously been
submitted.
Bill Noe explained covenants and restrictions would be
approved by the city. Frank Thrower, representing
Harbour Springs Development, agreed to utilize the
covenants and restrictions of Selva Linkside I. Jim
V V
Page Six - Minutes NAME OF
November 14, 1994 COMMRS. MSYN
Lucas, representing Harbour Springs Development,
explained it was not the intent of the developer to
develop the wetlands.
When asked what facts the Community Development board
used when they made their decision, George Worley, City
Planner, explained the Community Development Board did
not have to act in a quasi-judicial manner, and that
staff did not make a recommendation regarding approval or
disapproval of the rezoning.
Since no one wished to speak further the Mayor closed the
public hearing.
Motion: Approve passage of Ordinance No. 90-94-162
to rezone property from OR to RS-1 WEISS X
Motion died for lack of a second.
ROSENBLOOM X
Motion: Deny passage of Ordinance No. 90-94-162 to SHAUGHNESSY X X
rezone property from OR to RS-1 WATERS X X
WEISS X
Commissioner Waters felt since this was a quasi-judicial FLETCHER X
hearing statements should have been taken under oath and
the City Attorney should have taken sworn testimony.
Commissioner Waters felt the proposed rezoning and
development adversely affected a previous PUD which had
been directed and finally accepted by previous
commissions. He felt it would increase residential
traffic, population, and housing in the existing PUD
which was never previously addressed by city commissions
since the Selva Linkside Partnership developed the area
known as Selva Linkside. He also felt there was a posted
sign on the property indicating that it would not be
developed, and, in view of that, he felt that Selva
Linkside property owners should be given input into the
final determination of this rezoning. He indicated there
was two homeowners ' associations which had allowed homes
substantially different from those in Phase I to be built
in Phase II . He urged commissioners to vote against the
rezoning.
Commissioner Weiss felt that facts had not been presented
that would be grounds to deny the rezoning request. He
suggested that homeowners should have bought the property
to insure it would not be changed.
Mayor Fletcher felt there were drainage problems and
traffic problems in the city and development might
negatively impact those problems. Commissioner
V V
Page Seven - Minutes NAME OF
November 14, 1994 COMMRS. MSYN
Rosenbloom felt that wetlands would be a maintenance
liability to the city.
A discussion ensued as to whether or not the Community
Development Board should have been present to which Alan
Jensen, City Attorney, explained the Board made their
recommendation and the commission had received the
findings, and he indicated the board should not have to
attend the commission meeting to defend their findings.
He further explained it was necessary for the commission
to act on the application before them. He explained all
the property around the area under discussion was zoned
OR. When Selva Linkside was developed it was changed to
Residential. He explained the proposed zoning would be
consistent with the comprehensive plan, and he indicated
traffic and density were considered when the
comprehensive plan was developed. He added he did not
have any authority to take sworn oaths. This was a
quasi-judicial proceeding, he explained.
The question was called on the motion to deny the zoning
request and the vote resulted in 4-1 with Commissioner
Weiss voting nay. The motion carried.

made reference to the four festivals referred to in paragraph (3)
and he felt the language should not be directed to the Town Center

have a festival with beer and wine. Commissioner Waters felt by
striking "Town Center" frau the language it would be possible for
other groups to participate in festivals.

George Worley, City Planner, explained the Use-by-
Exception was for a contractor' s office of Richard A.
Hightower, Hightower Grouting Services, Inc. , at 645
Mayport Road. The Community Development Board found that
this business fit the category of low intensity service

storage would take place at this address. It was found
that this business was compatible with the intentions of
Section 109 and with the other existing businesses at the

Under discussion, Commissioner Waters suggested setting
October 1, 1994 as the anniversary date for payroll
purposes for all employees. A discussion ensued during
which time several city employees indicated their desire
to have evaluations performed on their anniversary date.
It was felt more time could be given to individuals who
were being evaluated if evaluations were spread out
during the year, rather than everyone being evaluated at
the same time. It was decided evaluations could be
performed on anniversary dates, but increases in salary
would be effective October 1st for all non-union

It was explained that Michael Dunlap felt the estimated
project budget of $90, 000 was inadequate to fund the work
and that he recommended the scope of the work be reduced
or additional funds secured.
Commissioner Shaughnessy felt that the Commission
indicated their desire to have a modest building.
Commissioner Waters inquired if Alan Jensen had reviewed
the contract, to which Mr. Jensen explained the City
Manager made a standard practice of providing him with
copies of all contracts for review. He indicated the
contract under discussed had been reviewed and was a
standard contract.
Under discussion it was agreed that Gail Baker should be
included in the process as she had knowledge as to the
needs and uses of the facility.
When asked for a ballpark figure Mr. Dunlap indicated a
ballpark figure from $140, 000 to $160, 000. The
Commission indicated their desire to have a building that
would please everyone, but they preferred not to increase
the projected budget of $90, 000 for the project.
Following discussion during which time Mr. Dunlap
outlined several avenues that could be used to trim
costs, the commission asked Mr. Dunlap to report back to
them relative to construction of a building that would
fit the budget of $90, 000.00.

Bob Kosoy reported Part A of the Master Plan for the
water distribution system was completed during the summer
of 1994. The work consisted of extensive hydrant testing
by the Design Engineer and City forces. Mr. Kosoy
explained, the city needed to continue the Master Plan to
verify the proper sizing of water mains for present and
future projects. The tasks needed to complete the Master
Plan were outlined in Parts B, C, D, of the proposal
dated July 13, 1994 (proposal attached herewith and made
a part hereof - Exhibit c) . It was advised proposed
total cost was $31, 618.40. Staff advised funds were

agenda)
8. City Manager Reports and/or Correspondence:
Kim Leinbach distributed the Financial Report for the
month of October.
Mr. Leinbach indicated the lifeguards of the City of
Atlantic Beach had received from the United States
Lifesaving Association an Advance Lifeguard Agency
Certification. Mr. Leinbach indicated this was a reason
to be proud of the lifeguards of Atlantic Beach as only
two groups in the State of Florida had reached this
certification.
Mr. Leinbach advised that through UNF a group of foreign
government officials would be visiting our city on
December 5, 1994 and would be attending staff meetings
and commission meetings.
9. Reports and/or requests from City Commissioners, City
Attorney and City Clerk:
a. City Attorney to report on his discussions with Alice
Richardson relative to proposed property acquisition.
Alan Jensen reported the asking price was $150,000, and
estimate for cost of an appraisal was approximately $400
in addition to a survey. Assessed value was between
$90, 000 and $100, 000.
b. City Attorney to report relative to request for
donation to the Beaches Historic Society to offset
the cost of constructing a structure to protect the
recently restored train engine.
Mr. Jensen reported the city' s ordinance code prohibited
using city funds and bed tax money would be considered
city funds. Unless the ordinance was changed a donation
could not be made to the Beaches Historic Society.

Commissioner Waters indicated it was not his desire to
change the ordinance but he proposed inviting the
Historical Society to give lectures concerning the
history of Atlantic Beach, in return for which the city
would pay a fee of $1, 500 or $1, 000. In this way,
Commissioner Waters added, the city would benefit and the
Beaches Historic Society could use the funds in any way
it deemed appropriate. Commissioner Waters suggested
this matter be taken up at a future workshop.
Commissioner Shaughnessy distributed an engineering
report she received from the Florida League of Cities on
the affect of sewage disposal systems on the environment.
Commissioner Shaughnessy indicated she would like a
review of the Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioner Shaughnessy reported she had recently rode
as an observer with the Fire Department. She commended
the Fire Department for their daily performance at work.
Commissioner Rosenbloom referred to a contribution that
was made to the fireworks display at Jacksonville Beach,
and he inquired how this was accomplished. It was
explained since this was not a charitable cause the
commission was able to vote to participate in its cost.
Commissioner Rosenbloom indicated his desire to make a
contribution to the Beaches Historical Society. Alan
Jensen indicated he would research the matter and report
back.
Commissioner Rosenbloom inquired as to the method of
placing items on the agenda. Mayor Fletcher advised this
was discussed at a recent workshop session. He suggested
perhaps an amendment to the administrative code could be
made at some future time. He indicated it was decided at
the workshop session that if an item was placed on the
agenda, it could be taken off only by the originator of
the agenda item.
Commissioner Waters indicated the Northeast Florida
League Christmas Buffet would be held at Timuquana on
December 1, 1994 at 6:30 p.m. He suggested inviting
retirees or employees of the month to these dinners, at
city expense if possible.
Commissioner Waters felt the Commission should control
the agenda.

Honorable Mayor
City Commission Members
Atlantic Beach , Florida
Dear Mayor and City Commission Members :
Please recall during the last fiscal year a decision was made to
enact a range plan for all municipal employees . The idea was to
indicate the starting and ending salaries for each position and
strive for increases based upon available funding sources .
Subsequently , the City Commission, at impasse , settled with the
various collective bargaining units with the reenactment of a
step salary plan. The only exception concerns our non-union,
general government employees . In efforts to be fair and uniform,
I am herewith urging and recommending that the City Commission
adopt a salary step plan similar to those provided to our
collective bargaining units .
Attached is the recommended plan as noted above . It maintains
the same pay range previously established , but provides 3% steps
therein. For purposes of converting employees into the new step
plan for this fiscal year only, I am recommending first of all, a
2% cost-of-living effective October 1st followed by placing the
non-union employees into that step most closely reflecting their
current rate of pay, but no less than 1%. The net step increase
for employees could range from one to three percent and on the
average should be less than two percent . Additionally , we would
like to offer a two percent bonus towards the end of the fiscal
year for those employees who have exhibited above average
performance . This compensation would not affect the pay plan and
would be applicable for exemplary performance only on the part of
employees . I want to offer the same proposal except for the two
percent (2%) bonus to department heads/supervirosrs as well.
Please remember, supervisory personnel did not receive any
adjustment last year.
Upon reviewing the proposal after the Commission workshop held
November 7 , 1994 , the general employee Personnel Committee has
unanimously voted to recommend the same as herein provided
inclusive of anniversary dates based upon date of hire . Again,
this standardizes pay plans among all employee groups and is fair
in its application.
The monies for this proposal are funded in the current fiscal
year budget , $40 ,000 . Bonuses for employees will be handled on a
department-by-department basis with funding to be taken from the
respective department (obviously , we won' t know how many
employees are affected until nominated by the department) . I
believe your approval of the same would go a long way in
reaffirming our commitment to those employees who have not chosen
to formally bargain collectively. I urge your approval and will
be happy to answer any of your questions or provide
clarifications .
Sincerely ,
i '

BACKGROUND: During the summer of 1994, we completed
Part A of the Master Plan for the water
distribution system in Atlantic Beach.
This work consisted of extensive hydrant
testing by the Design Engineer and City
forces. We now need to continue the
Master Plan to verify the proper sizing
of water mains for present and future
projects. The tasks needed to complete
the Master Plan are outlined in Parts B,
C, and D of the attached proposal dated
July 13, 1994.
In addition, a key project is the Beach
Avenue Water and Sewer Project which has
been permitted by D. E. P. since 1990.
The permitting of the project will last
five (5) years, until late 1995. We are
now proceeding into our last year. If
the project is not implemented within the

Master Plan Parts B, C and D
• G&J Project No. 94-225
Atlantic Beach, Florida
Dear Mr. Kosoy:
As discussed in the Utility Committee meetings on May 26, 1994 and June 16, 1994 and
subsequently requested by your staff, we are pleased to provide the following proposal
for engineering services for Parts B, C and D of the Water Master Plan and computer
model preparation which will allow for water system improvements to be implemented in
phases over the next few years.
Gee & Jenson has already been authorized with Part A for$8,163.00 and have proceeded
with this work task. To complete the remaining Parts B, C and D we would request that
the authorization be increased an additional $31,798 to $39,961. We have increased the
scope of work of Part B and C to include CADD mapping of the existing water system as
discussed with Public Works Staff. Also as per the Public Works Staff, we have included
a unit cost price of $275.00 for each additional fire hydrant testing beyond the current
scope of 32 tests, to be performed at the City's direction. The additional cost will be for
assistance during the test and updating the computer model and report.
The professional engineering services we propose are to accomplish the above goals:
Master Plan Part A - Field Tests and Mapping Verification: (Currently Authorized)
1. Obtain all existing maps, construction plans, field notes and other additional
information on the existing water distribution system.
Robert S. Kosoy, P.E.
City of Atlantic Beach
July 13, 1994 - Page 2
2. Develop Test Sites for Fire Hydrant tests, and perform the tests using City crews
and equipment. Measure pitot pressure and residual pressure at adjacent hydrants
to aid in developing empirical data for the hydraulic computer model of the system.
3. Field verify selected distribution system components, as determined by City staff.
4. Record the test results, and prepare a small report summarizing the findings.
Master Plan Part B - Updating Hydraulic Computer Model with Field Data
1. Input field data and all pipes, tanks, pressure reducing valves, check valves, and
other pertinent features of the water distribution system into the existing computer
model prepared by Gee & Jenson Engineers-Architects-Planners, Inc.
2. Adjust the model parameters to fit test results. This will involve many runs of the
model to develop results which closely match the field tests.
3. Develop additional Test Sites for Fire Hydrant tests to verify the model, and
perform the tests using City crews and equipment. Measure pitot pressure and
residual pressure at adjacent hydrants to aid in developing empirical data for the
hydraulic computer model of the system.
4. From City records, establish typical daily water demands for each node in the
system. Relate these demands to water pumped by City water plants. Establish
existing and future fire flows as approved by the City Fire Marshall.
5. Prepare the final existing computer model that closely matches all field test data,
and plot the computer generated map of the system showing typical daily
pressures versus average daily water demands, and fire flows in four (4) locations,
selected by the City staff.
6. Integrate new CADD mapping from City records and update the existing City
water system maps to a CADD based mapping system.
7. Record the results, and prepare a report summarizing the findings.
Robert S. Kosoy, P.E.
City of Atlantic Beach
July 13, 1994 - Page 3
Master Plan Part C - Develop Master Plan Improvements in the Water Distribution
System
1. Meet with the Utility Committee members in a workshop to review any current
improvement plans and establish long-term goals for distribution system
improvements.
2. Review Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use as it affects water demand.
Establish future water demand at all model nodes.
3. Develop Water Distribution Improvements based upon recommendations.
Establish proper location and sizes of current and future City-wide loop system of
the larger water mains. Concentrate on confirming the proper water main size in
the Beach Avenue Area.
4. Prepare the future computer model using existing conditions with future
improvements and requirements, and plot the computer generated map of the
system showing typical system pressures versus average and peak daily water
demands, and fire flows in four (4) locations, selected by the City staff.
5. Update CADD Water System maps to show proposed water system improvements.
6. Prepare a report summarizing the Master Plan Improvements, with associated cost
estimates. Establish a phased program for annual improvements over a 5 or 10
year period.
Master Plan Part D - Training Session with City Staff on Hydraulic Computer Model
1. Obtain a licensed copy of the "WATER" hydraulic computer model program, and
load onto the City's IBM based computer.
2. Review the features of the program, and examine the requirements for computer
modelling.
3. Assist in running the tutorial prepared by the model company, or other appropriate
model to be used as a learning tool.
Robert S. Kosoy, P.E.
City of Atlantic Beach
July 14, 1994 - Page 4
4. Assist in using the City's water distribution system model, and how to update the
data such as replacement pipes or additional water lines in a new subdivision.
5. Answer questions during and after the session relating to setup of the model.
Compensation for professional engineering services as described above is estimated as
follows:
1. Compensation for Master Plan Part A: $ 8,163.00 (Currently Authorized)
2. Compensation for Master Plan Part B: $ 13,554.00
3. Compensation for Master Plan Part C: $ 15,754.00
4. Compensation for Master Plan Part D: $ 2,490.00
5. Engineering Services for Additional $ 275.00 each

Honorable Mayor
and City Commission Members
Atlantic Beach, Florida
Dear Mayor and City Commission Members:
I am herewith proposing a reorganization of our Parks and Recreation
Department. In that the Director's position is currently vacant, as well as
one Parks Maintenance Worker 1, it is an opportune time to make any
changes.
Specifically, I am recommending the dividing of responsibilities
concerning parks and recreation activities. Currently, under the Atlantic
Beach Code, the Parks and Recreation Director reports to the Public
Works Director and then City Manager.
This position also supervises three employees and one part time. An
organization chart would depict this structure as follows:
City
Manager
Pub.Wks.
Director
Parks and
Rec.Dir.
Counselor 1 Wor .
Mtce. Mtce. Mtce.
lker I Worker I Worker I
I am requesting your approval to restructure the department with the goal
in mind to assure equal consideration in both these important service
areas. My recommendation is to hire a Recreation Director responsible
directly to the City Manager. This individual would be charged with the
general mission to plan our parks layouts (ie. functional design) and
ensure their usage to the maximum. In the latter regard, I envision
coordination/cooperation with all city departments, other governmental
entities(eg. school system, county et al.) and private concerns as well (eg.
YMCA, leagues and the like). The organizational chart would look like
this:
City
Manager
Recreation
Director
In addition, I am recommending the upgrading of a current, vacant
position to one entitled Parks Department Division Chief. This individual
would be responsible for all parks and assigned city rights-of-way
maintenance. Duties include landscaping/lawn maintenance,
pesticide/fertilizer application, parks/playground upkeep, safety program
coordination for the Parks Department, etc. This chart of organization
reflects this configuration:
City
Manager
Pub Wks
Director
Parks Divi
Director
Mtce. Mtce.
Worker I Worker I
Please note, this is working position in addition to assigned supervisory
responsibilities. The individual will be expected to participate in the
mowing, plant care, playground and other equipment repair, etc. along
with supervising personnel, budgeting, planning, et al.
I am proposing to fund the Recreation Director as currently provided
within the established pay range. Regarding the Parks Department
Division Chief, I recommend, as previously noted, converting the current,
vacant Maintenance Worker I position to the new one as proposed. The
pay range recommended, grade 10, begins at $25,027 and ends at
$36,189-I am planning to hire an individual, if you concur with my
proposal, at the beginning step ($25,027). When compared to the original
position, funded at $14,196 per annum, the additional cost is $10,831. This
difference may be obtained from our city hall lawn maintenance account,
totaling $14,000 for one year. I have discussed the possibility of having
lawn maintenance performed by the Parks Department as led by a new
Division Chief with experience in this area and fccl we could do the job. If
you agree with this scenario, we would actually save $3,169 a year even
with enactment of the upgraded Parks Department position.
Your consideration of this proposal is appreciated. It is my intention to
recommend these changes for the better operation of our municipal
government and meet the priorities you have established for our
community. For your convenience, I have enclosed suggested
descriptions for the positions noted herein. I would be most happy to
answer any questions.
Sincerely,
i
