4. 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. Jim Scheuer and Susan Tripp of Deloitte Haskins and Sells to discuss
the city's annual audit.
There were no questions from the Commission. Mayor Howell thanked Miss
Tripp and Mr. Scheuer for attending the meeting.

5. C. 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

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.

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.

from Atlantic Landing Merchants to hold their annual Block Party on
Saturday, May 21, 1988. The proceeds will benefit the Beaches Library
