Discussion by the City Commission on the desirability of authorizing contacts with the cities of Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach for the purpose of discussing an interlocal agreement through which the communities could undertake a study on the feasibility of a world-class aquatic stadium with said study to be funded from Convention Develop- ment Tax Funds Mayor Howell advised the Commission he was unable to get in touch with the Mayors of Neptune and Jacksonville Beaches before the meeting to discuss the possibility of the three beaches entering into an inter- local agreement to take some funds on a per capita basis to look into a feasibility study relative to the proposed aquatic stadium. Following discussion, the Commission agreed for the Mayor to pursue discussions with the other Mayors on the subject. S. Appearances: A. Andy May of Gee and Jenson Consulting Engineers to discuss a proposal to expand the present Phase I improvements at the water treatment plan:s to include Phase II improvements. Mr. May said the engineers found, during the course of their current design of Phase I improvements to the water plant which also included some distribution improvements to the Royal Palms area, that Water Plant LI was not a completely independent plant, but was controlled by instru- mentation which is currently at Water Plant I. Those improvements to Water Plant I which would affect that were not to take place until Phase II. Mr. May recommended, for the best interest of the city, that they consider moving ahead with Phase II improvements. Both plants would then be up to grade and provide firm treatment of roughly 7,000 gallons per minute for the total city. He said the main issue with the improvements was the reliability of the water system. Estimated cost of Phase I was approximately $300,000, and total cost for both phases would be between $900,000. to $1 ,000,000. Mr. Fellows suggested he could borrow the money from the city's sewer revenues. The water system does not generate enough capital money to make the improvements, Following discussion on availability of funds, Commissioner Gulliford moved for the following: Motion: Authorize Gee & Jenson Consulting Engineers to commence Cook x x the engineering study for Phase II improvements at the Edwards x water treatment plants. Gulliford x x Jensen x No discussion before the vote. Motion carried unanimously. Howell x * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * B.

Bill Noe to discuss zoning at M & L Shopping Center Mr. Noe, representing Mr. Fred Lewis, owner of the M & L Shopping Center, told the Commission that Mr. Lewis's property had been changed several years ago from a wide general business use to Commercial Limited which was basically office space and similar uses. With no objections from the Commission, Mr. Lewis desired to file a petition to have the prop- erty rezoned from CL to CG (Commercial General) which was more in keeping with the area surrounding the M & L Shopping Center. He planned to construct a small Goodyear store in the center area that was present- ly vacant. Following discussion, there were no objections from the Com- mission relative to Mr. Lewis filing a petition with the Community Development Board. 5. D. Left off Agenda - Mr. Stephen Mabry- request for variance The Community Development Board considered, at their March 15th meeting, Mr. Mabry's request for a variance from the septic tank moratorium, and recommended approval. Mr. Mabry wanted to construct a commercial build=ng 30 x 60 ft. on his property on West 9th Street in Section H. He agreed to hook up to the city sewer and water utilities when available. Motion: Approve request by Stephen Mabry for variance from the Cook x septic tank moratorium for his property on West 9th St. Edwards x x Gulliford x x No discussion before the vote.

Jensen x x * * :: * * k * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * :° * * Howell x MISCELLANEOUS Mayor Howell commented that he had received many complaints relative to the carnival on Mayport Road. He asked the Commission to go on record that this year would be the last time the Fleet Reserve would be allowed to have the carnival. The city is growing too big for that type of entertainment. Commission agreed. The Mayor mentioned the proposed Ordinance sent to the Commission in the agenda packets establishing a Public Nuisance Control Board. He requested the Commission authorize the City Attorney to prepare a similar Ordinance for presentation at the next meeting. He also requested the same action on another proposed Ordinance stating the policy on the Use of Drugs and Alcohol by City Employees and Applicants for City Positions. Motion: Turn over both proposed Ordinances to the City Attorney Cook x x to prepare for first reading at the next meeting. Edwards x x Gulliford x During discussion, Commissioner Jensen questioned the need for the Jensen x Nuisance Control Board Ordinance. The City Attorney explained the Fl. Howell x Legislature in 1987 amended the Statute to provide that cities and counties could create a Board to do everything he had done in the Big L case, except it would not have the judicial force to hold someone in contempt of court. Many other cities have formed Public Nuisance Control Boards. Under the Amendment, if there were two or more complaints brought before the Board, the Board would enter its order, and close the place. It was primarily designed to generate local interest of the neighbors similar to the Code Enforcement Board. Following discussion, _ The question was called and the motion carried unanimously. • PAGE FIVE V V MINUTES NAME OF MARCH 28, 1988 COMMRS. MSYN • Miscellaneous - continued Commissioner Cook passed around several guns that appeared to be real, but were toys. He told the Commission about an Ordinance passed by The City of Burbank, Calif relating to the prohibition of the sale and brandishing of replica or facsimile firearms, and suggested the City of Atlantic Beach pass a similar Ordinance. Chief David Thompson told the Commission he took a copy of the Ordinance to the Police Chief's Association meetings held recently. Everyone at the meeting expressed concern over the situation. The Ordinance was being forwarded to the State Legislative meeting for review. Following a lengthy discussion, the Commission unanimously agreed for the City Attorney to review the proposed Ordinance and prepare an Ordinance for consideration at the next meeting. Commissioner Cook suggested the City purchase the small tract of land between 16th St. and Ocean Blvd. on Seminole Road to be used for a city park. The City Manager will check into the possibility of the purchase. Commissioner Gulliford commented on the letter the Mayor received relative to the Wonderwood Expressway project. He thanked the Mayor `_or furnishing the information to the Commissioners. Commissioner Gulliford also noted that it was very rewarding to notice the number of residents present at the Dedication Ceremonies for the Public Safety Building. Commissioner Edwards commented several residents had asked where the money came from to build the Public Safety Building. The Mayor told him the funds came from a loan from the Fl. League of Cities. Mr. Fellows noted the last dog Ordinance provided for a limit of four (4) dogs per residence. That provision had been removed from the Ordi- nance. The new Ordinance handled the problem in a different manner. Mayor Howell mentioned that he had been in touch with a company from Denver, Colo. relative to recycling. He was hoping to hold a joint meeting with our sister cities for a presentation by the Company. He will report back as soon as possible. Commissioner Gulliford mentioned a company that was interested in talking to the Commission about a joint venture on a burn box which would be funded by the interested party. Everything except garbage could be burned in the box and it was very clean. There was a great potential to service the entire beaches area. Mayor Howell announced there was a group from Tampa doing some work on the Mayport Road interchange area that wanted to meet with the residents and officials within thirty days. He will advise the date. • • PAGE SIX V V MINUTES NAME OF MARCH 28, 1988 COMMRS. MSYN Miscellaneous Commissioner Edwards stated the Commission would have to look at storm water runoff in the near future, and some day we will have to treat it Mayor Howell asked if anyone had any objections to the request received from Atlantic Landing Merchants to hold their annual Block Party on Saturday, May 21, 1988. The proceeds will benefit the Beaches Library once again. There were no objections from the Commission. There being no other business to come before the Commission, the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. r-I /// Wil iam S. Howell"' Mayor/Presiding Officer • ATTEST: ALdelaide R.
