Commissioner Shaughnessy referred to Section 16-2, Solid Waste FLETCHER X
Collection. She made specific reference to the following sentence
"All yard trash shall be picked up and disposed of at least once
each week." She inquired as to what was included in the bid

trash only, and the bid specified pick up would be two days per
week.

containers. She made specific reference to the following sentence
"No garbage shall be collected unless it is placed in a closed
garbage container." She inquired if items would be picked up if
they were not placed in a closed container, to which it was
explained the language referred to garbage, only, and that other
items could be placed by the curb. It was explained a plastic bag
would be acceptable. Reference was made to additional language
indicating a closed container had to be used, and staff was asked to
provide specific language indicating the instances in which a closed
container would not have to be used for certain items.
Reference was made to Section 16-8, Fees for collection, and an
inquiry was made as to when the fees would be placed in the
ordinance, to which it was explained the rates had not be indicated
because the contract had not been signed.
Reference was made to Section 16-3, Garbage and trash containers (b)
and a question was asked regarding the placing of garbage cans at
the curb and it was brought out that in certain parts of the City
this would be difficult because the sidewalk was small, to which it
was explained that if there was a hardship the Director of Public
Works could waive the requirement of placing cans at the curb. It
was also explained that whatever system residents had used for
placing garbage cans in the past would continue to work in the
'Lure.
Jim Jarboe, Deputy City Manager, explained the level of service of
garbage collection would not be changed.
Reference was made to Sec. 16-14, White goods: Procedure and fees
for removal, and it was questioned whether or not there was a fee
for pick up of white goods, to which it was explained there was no
fee for pick up of white goods at the present time, but that in the
event a fee was charged some time in the future, the matter would be
addressed in the contract.
John Meserve indicated he had a contract for private pickup for an
apartment complex and he wanted to be sure that the proposed
ordinance would not prohibit such an outside contract. Mr. Meserve
was asked to meet with the City Manager regarding the matter.
The question was called and the motion carried unanimously.
c. Discussion of Ordinance Nos. 80-94-54 and 25-94-16 establishing
conditions for the connection of water and sewer service to
rental properties
Mayor Fletcher advised ordinance Nos. 80-94-54 and 25-94-16 were not
on the agenda for action, but that the language contained in the
-rdinances had been placed on the agenda for discussion, only.
Commissioner Shaughnessy felt there was a need in the city to have
a method to require people to physically keep up their property in

Atlantis Beach_ She explained Chu oidiI1 races were noL designed to
compel landlands to pay bills left by their tenants, and the
language had nothing to do with getting people to pay their utility
bills. She felt there were some landlords in the city who were not
willing to maintain their property, and her concern was to try to
get a better level of compliance with city codes. When properties
were not maintained, she added, it hurt the quality of the city as a
whole. She explained Ed Martin, Chairman of the Code Enforcement
Board, had attended a Code Enforcement seminar and discussions were
held at the seminar concerning the two ordinances being the vehicle
by which some cities were able to get a better level of compliance,
and that was the spirit in which the ordinances were introduced.
She felt, however, that the ordinances contained inequities. The
only way the city had to collect money when it was necessary to
repair or maintain property was through placing liens against
property. In most cases, she explained, liens were not paid until
the property was sold which could result in many years before liens
were paid.
She explained the language in the ordinances spoke to landlords who
refused to maintain their properties, and had nothing to do with
getting people to pay their utility bills, or compelling landlords
to pay bills left by their tenants.
She asked Mayor Fletcher to appoint a committee of not more than
eight members to study the problem and come up with a recommendation
on how the city might better address it. She suggested staff who
were involved in code enforcement inspections, fire inspection,
finance, and any other departments that would be involved in
addressing the problem to be present at the meetings.
Mayor Fletcher appointed Commissioner Shaughnessy to Chair the
Property Study Committee, and the following people volunteered to
serve on the Committee: Brian Phillips, Dorothy Kerber, Ernest L.
Russell, Susan Lewis, Robert R. Castro, John Meserve, Majorie R.
Dunson, Roger B. Kjar, Mr. & Mrs. Raymond E. Makowski, Jane Wytzka,
- Peter Sapia, and Tim Reed. Mayor Fletcher indicated a letter of
appointment would be sent to members of the Committee.
Mayor Fletcher asked the Committee to have a status report for the
Commission at the January 9, 1994 meeting.
It was suggested issues contained in the two ordinances under
discussion would be addressed by the committee, and that both tenant
occupied and owner occupied properties would be addressed.
Commissioner Weiss felt that more time should be allowed to study
the matter, and that staff should be consulted. He noted Don Ford,
Building Official, prepared a report dated December 9, 1994
(attached hereto and made a part hereof) . He suggested the audience
be allowed to speak to the matter.
Mayor Fletcher allowed members of the audience to address the
matter and the following people spoke: Jane Wytzka, 353 2nd Street,

Marina Drive, Susan Lewis, 455 Atlantic Blvd. , Majorie Dunson, 1
Ocean Blvd. , and David Lewis.
Commissioner Weiss felt the Committee should report to staff. He
felt uncomfortable having a member of the Commission on the
committee. Mayor Fletcher indicated he would take this under
advisement.
7. New Business:
a. Authorize purchase of tractor loader backhoe under State
Contract at a cost of $40,507.00
Bob Kosoy, Public Works Director, reported currently the City's
Water Distribution and Sewer Collection used a Model 1440, 1986 JCB
Backhoe, Front End loader, This vehicle had been extended beyond
the end of it's normal hours of operation. The cost of further
maintaining this vehicle was not justifiable from an
operational/safety or economic standpoint. Staff was proposing to
replace this vehicle with a Ford FNH-555D Tractor Loader Backhoe for
a total cost of $40,507.00. Purchase was to be made under the
State Contract. ROSENBLOOM X

.then asked concerning the training required to operate the
equipment, Bob Kosoy explained staff were already familiar with the
equipment, and that the vendor usually spent time explaining safety
equipment. The Mayor inquired regarding the term and scope of the
warranty and Bob Kosoy agreed to check into this. It was explained
the purchase was contingent on the industry warranty which would be
sent via fax to Commissioners.
Item 7d was taken out of sequence and acted upon.
7d. Authorize purchase of Kawasaki motorcycle under Bid no. 9495-4
Chief David Thompson introduced Dane Smith, Motorcycle Officer. It
was recommended that the bid be awarded to Regency Kawasaki &
Sea-Doo for the 1995 Kawasaki Police 1000 at the total bid price of
$7,870.00. It was reported a discount would be awarded if this was
paid within 15 days of delivery. ROSENBLOOM X

Commissioner Waters felt this was a reaction to a perceived problem
and that in his opinion there was not a great problem relative to

hompson for the effort and time he put into the matter.

requirements in connection with the installation of a 6" force

Alan Jensen, City Attorney, indicated he had several concerns
regarding the proposed Sovereign Submerged Lands Use Agreement that
the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) had requested, and
he referred to documents he provided (attached herewith and made a
part hereof) . He felt it was important to get a document in place
as quickly as possible, before the end of the year, so that the
project could be completed. He felt the problems could be resolved
with the Department of Environmental Protection, with Commission
approval.
Bob Kosoy explained work was under way and the city desired to
complete the permitting procedure. It was felt it would be
in the city's best interest to sign the document pursuant to the
time constraints indicated by the DEP. ROSENBLOOM X X

matter.
After further discussion, it was felt the agreement should be
signed.
The question was called and the motion carried unanimously.

eroperty. He indicated he would discuss this with the City of
Jacksonville. He suggested having a Special Commission Meeting on
December 19, 1994 to take action on the matter, as the Donner
Community Development Corporation was being hindered in their work
pending execution of the agreement. He indicated he would provide
the Commission with a copy of an amended agreement, and would
schedule a Special Commission meeting.
9. Reports and/or req gists frau City Commissioners, City Attorneys
and City Clerk:
Commissioner Rosenbloan indicated he would like to discuss the
acquisition of parkland at the next workshop session, to which it
was agreed to place this matter on the next workshop agenda.
Commissioner Rosenbloom inquired whether or not it would be a
violation of the city code to donate to the Historical Society, to
which Alan Jensen advised such a donation would be a violation of
the City Code. It was explained if Bed Tax money was used a
donation could be made, with another municipality, by an interlocal
agreement.
Commissioner Waters reported Bob Fowler, Fowler Manufacturing
Company, had experienced drainage problems and Bob Kosoy agreed to
heck into this and report to Commissioner Waters.
Commissioner Waters asked Alan Jensen if the Richardson appraisal
was available, to which Mr. Jensen replied the Richardson appraisal
had not been received as yet. Commissioner Waters indicated his
desire to discuss the matter at the next workshop session.
Commissioner Shaughnessy reported concerning the proposed
environmental clean-up at Mayport Navy Base. She suggested that
Commissioner Weiss be appointed to the Advisory Board. Commissioner
Waters indicated he would attend any meetings regarding this, and
Commissioner Weiss indicated he would also attend. It was explained
perhaps a Commissioner should not serve on the Board, but that a
member of the community would be a better choice. This will be
decided in the future.
Commissioner Weiss thanked those who planned and attended the city's
Christmas festivities.
Commissioner Weiss referred to the proposed capital improvement
projects that had been recently under discussion, and he felt the
matter should be pursued. He felt a financial advisor should be
sought, and he particularly encouraged the commission to proceed
with the installation of census meters.
There being no further business the Mayor adjourned the meeting at
0:30 p. m.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: PURCHASE OF TRACTOR LOADER BACKHOE ON
STATE CONTRACT
SUBMITTED BY: Robert S. Kosoy/Director of Public Works
DATE: December 6, 1994
BACKGROUND: Currently, Atlantic Beach Water Distribution
and Sewer Collection uses a Model 1440, 1986
JCB Backhoe, Front End Loader. This vehicle
has been extended beyond the end of it 's
normal hours of operation. The cost of
further maintaining this vehicle is not
justifiable from an operational/safety or
economic standpoint.
It is proposed to replace this vehicle with
a Ford FNH-555D Tractor Loader Backhoe for a
total cost of $40, 507. 00. The options are
outlined on Attachment A to tailor the
vehicle to the needs of the Water
Distribution/Sewer Collection crews.
Particularly important is the hydraulic and
plumbing option which allows the crew to
perform hydrostop repair work and use of the
rod pusher boring machine.
This purchase is to be made under the State
Contract, as was the purchase of a similar
vehicle for the Buccaneer crew last Fiscal
year. The Buccaneer crew has been very
pleased with the performance and maintenance
on this vehicle to date.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve purchase, budgeted for $60, 000. 00 on

RE: Sovereign Submerged Lands Use Agreement
Dear Mayor and Commissioners:
I have reviewed with Bob Kosoy the installation of a 6" sewer force
main under Puckett Creek. The Florida DEP has requested that the
City execute a Sovereign Submerged Lands Use Agreement in
connection therewith and a copy is enclosed.
I have several concerns regarding the proposed agreement, all as
set forth in my letter of November 2 , 1994, to DEP, a copy of which
is enclosed. I also enclose copies of my letter of November 30 to
DEP and a letter from Ms. Clary at DEP dated December 1, 1994 .
I would request your direction in response to the proposed
agreement and the request from DEP that it be signed as is, and the
concerns I have addressed regarding the agreement. Thank you.
Very truly yours,

RE: Use Agreement No. : UA-16-147
BOT File No. : 162429572
Grantee: City of Atlantic Beach
Dear Ms. Clary:
I am the City Attorney for Atlantic Beach and have reviewed your
correspondence dated October 13 , 1994, to the City in care of our
engineers, Connelly & Wicker, Inc. I have also reviewed the
proposed Sovereign Submerged Lands Use Agreement which you have
requested that the City sign. i have several concerns with the
proposed agreement, including why we even need one since we have
permits from the Department of Environmental Protection, as well as
from the DOT, for this project.
The specific concerns i have regarding certain paragraphs of the
proposed agreement are as follows:
2 . The amount of the fee is extremely vague and is like
giving you a blank check. I would want to have some idea of what
fees to expect and perhaps a "not to exceed" amount set forth in
the agreement.
3 . I would suggest that the term "immediately removed" be
replaced with "removed within a reasonable time if necessary" .
8 . If your department is going to retain the right to
terminate the agreement in its sole discretion, the City should be
rebated a prorata portion of any fees paid to be determined
according to the life of the agreement. The City should also have
a reasonable time within which to relocate, if necessary, its
lines.
,Ruby D. Clary
November 2, 1994

9. I cannot agree that if the parties cannot negotiate a
settlement of an inequity that the final resolution is left up to
the Board of Trustees, one of the parties to the agreement. I do
not believe I would have a problem with recommending that the City
agree to binding arbitration or some other alternative.
11.- - Venue for any litigation should be in Duval County where
the property is' located and where our improvements are located. It
is much more reasonable for your state-wide agency to litigate in
Duval County than it is for City of Atlantic Beach to have to
litigate in Leon County.
I would be more than happy to discuss the above concerns with you
and perhaps a mutually acceptable agreement can be reached.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Very truly yours,
rALAN C. JENSEN

This will confirm our telephone conversation earlier today and your
advice that your legal department has indicated that they would not
agree to any of the requested changes as set forth in my prior

I need to get direction from the City Commission of Atlantic Beach

able to advise you by telephone the following day of their
instructions to me. I understand that this will be within the time
limitations requested for signing and returning the proposed
agreement.
I look forward to receiving the aforesaid written confirmation
soon. Thank you very much.
Very truly yours,
