11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for the purpose of holding a block party as
a fund raiser for the Beaches Library. Mr. Hixon advised the Commission
Neptune Beach would close their portion and Jacksonville had given
permission also. There will be two off-duty policemen working from each
of the beaches and he was told by Forrest Boone extra policemen from the
City of Jacksonville would be available if needed.

3.Appearances:
A.Mr. George Bull, Jr. with reference to problems at the east end of
11th Street.
Mr. Bull advised the Commission of continued problems at the street end
of Eleventh St. from mid-morning on through the night. The city has re-
^ently provided a nice handicap ramp and parking spaces provided and un-
fortunately they are not able to use the facilities as other cars are
also parked there. Mr. Bull said we should definitely have more police
activity morning, noon and night as both he and Mrs. Tucker had seen no
tickets issued since the signs had been installed. He also requested,
PAGE TWO

if there were any funds available, to install a street light at the end
of the paved portion of the street to shed more light on the area which
should discourage the activity from 8:00 p.m. through 5:00 a.m. nightly.
Mr. Bull added that he hated to call the police nightly, but would do
so if the Chief of Police desired. During discussion, it was pointed out
that also the city would soon be in right in the midst of parking and
other problems along Beach Avenue this summer. Commissioner Gulliford
suggested an intern program involving criminology students from a nearby
university, if funds were available, and said it had been very successful
in other beach communities. He asked if there was a possibility the city
could pursue part-time help in the summer with certain dedicated respothi-
bilities, including parking and some control on the beach accesses, etc.
Chief Thompson responded the internships tend to be a touchy area, and
might be unacceptable to the University. He said he planned to use some
reserve personnel he has put on in the last several months. (unpaid in-
dividuals who are certified) . In addition, he expects to assign more
people on the weekends. The Chief added he was not familiar with the ex-
tent of the problems on 11th st. but he said he had personally written
tickets there. He encouraged anyone to pick up the phone and call on
problems, every night, if necessary. Following discussion, the City
anager advised he would take action on installing the street light.
4. Action by the City Commission to approve Change Order No.2 on the
Regional outfall increase in contract by $18,566.66, and authorize
the execution of the final close-out documents and final payment.
Mr. Doug Layton, engineer for Smith & Gillespie submitted the final
close out document including a list of all items for change order #2
and stated the largest item difference was 500' of 24" pipe (approxi-
mately $20,000) . The other items were small plus or minus that were
not exactly the same as the contract. Mr. Layton explained in all
projects there was an estimated linear foot of pipe, and at the end
of the project the contractor knew exactly what amount of pipe went
in and they had to revise those quantities plus or minus to arrive
at the actual installed quantity. That was the reason for the Change
Order. Change order #2, in the amount of $18,566.66 was for the common
outfall line and would be charged jointly between the three cities in
accordance with the interlocal agreement. Mr. Layton stated it had not
been submitted to DER as it has to be approved before submittal for
eligibility approval. He expressed the opinion it would be determined
eligible. He added there was no money left in the grant to cover it.
It was above and beyond the grant amount. Mayor Howell asked if the
500' of pipe difference was normal for estimates and Mr. Layton said
the difference was probably larger than considered normal. What probably
happened was the Engineer that prepared the bid documents miscalculatec
`he quantity of pipe that would be in the job and when he went out for
ids he went out 500' too low.

5. Action by the City Commission to authorize City auction be held
on Saturday, May 10, 1986 at the Public Works yard
The City Manager offered a list of items to be declared surplus and
requested the Commission authorize the holding of the auction on
May 10th at the Public Works yard. Most of the items were coming
out of the pumping stations which were being replaced under a grant.
The bicycles were recovered by the police department and were being
disposed of according to Fla.Statutes. Chief Thompson explained they
keep bicycles found a minimum of six months and if no one comes to
claim them, they are put up for auction. Commissioner Gulliford asked
if the Commission would consider the possibility, on bicycles, instead
of selling them, the possibility of donating them to some worthwhile
charity and have them distribute them as they saw fit. The City Attorney
paid the only exceptions the Commission had made was to transfer surplus
property to another governmental entity without consideration. Following
discussion on what organizations to give to, etc. Commissioner Gulliford
moved:
Motion: Establish a fund from the proceeds of those items that are Cook x x
abandoned such as the bicycles to be donated at the dis- Edwards x
cretion of the City Commission in the future when people Gulliford x x
and organizations come seeking charitable donations. Morris x

During discussion before the vote, it was agreed all monies from the
auction of items not owned by the city and have been abandoned will
be deposited in the fund. The question was called and the motion
carried unanimously.

6. Commissioner Gulliford with committee recommendations in regards to
the purchase of micro computers for various departments.
";ommissioner Gulliford reported the Committee had met on four separate
)ccasions and stated it was the intent of the Commission in taking bids
was to possibly purchase three micro computers, one an AT type and the
other two lesser units but with hard drives. The Committee recommended:

APRIL 28, 1986 COMMRS. MSYN
Commissioner Gulliford's Committee report continued
A. Purchase an AT type unit on State contract, namely compaq which
was the same unit the Police Department had and they were very
satisfied with their unit. . The price,including printer and
monitor was $5,278.00. No software included.
B. Award the remaining items listed to the lowest and most re-
sponsible bidder, Mind Your Own Business for 2 XT Kapros. The
total price including printers, monitors and software was
$7,021.00.
Commissioner Gulliford added the total price would be considerably
under the budgeted amount for the purchase of the units. Mayor Howell
asked if Mind Your Own Business had submitted a Bid Bond and the
answer was no. The City Attorney said Bid Bonds could be waived subject
to the discretion of the governing body. Discussion followed on the
requirements for bid bonds. The Finance Director noted a 5% bid bond
requirement was adopted as part of the Purchasing Ordinance. Mayor
Howell suggested the necessary arrangements be made to change the
Ordinance.
Motion: Adopt the recommendation of the Committee and award Cook -m- x
accordingly and waive the requirement of the bid bond. Edwards x

7. Action by the City Commission to approve the paving of a forty by
eighty foot strip owned by Kelly Amber
Mr. Fellows reported it was necessary for the city to acquire some
additional easement in connection with the reconstruction of "E" pump-
ing station on Mayport Road. The property owned by Mr. Amber fronts
on Mayport Rd and is very expensive, but Mr. Amber had agreed to give
the city the necessary easement for ingress and egress off Saratoga
Circle. In exchange for the easement, in lieu of cash, Mr. Amber re-
quested the city pave the easement so he may use it in the future for
parking as he develops the property. The estimated cost for paving
would be $3,500. Mr. Amber would draw up his parking lanes in such a
way the city would always have a lane of 10' to 15' between cars to
get in an out.
Motion: Approve the recommendation of the City Manager to pave a Cook x
forty by eighty foot strip owned by Kelly Amber in ex- Edwards x x
change for the granting of a perpetual easement needed in Gulliford x x
connection with the reconstruction of pumping station "E" Howell x

8. Discussion by the City Commission on the advisability of waiving the
bid requirement for the extension of paving of Eleventh St. from the
Selva Lakes entrance into water plant No. 1.
Mr. Fellows reported the Selva Lakes Developers were paving and re-
constructing portions of Eleventh St. from Seminole Road to the entrance
to Selva Lakes. While the paver was on the scene, he asked permission
of the city to waive the bid requirements and let the pavers continue
the paving on down to the water plant to eliminate the dust, etc. He
reminded the Commission the developers had contributed $7,000 to the
city for improvements to esthetics to the water plant. He said the
road was in very bad condition beyond the entrance to Selva Lakes.
He expressed the opinion the city would be given a better price while
the pavers were on site doing the work for Selva Lakes. Estimated
price was $3,500 to $4,000.
Motion: Waive the bid requirement and authorize the City Manager Cook x x
to proceed with the paving of portions of 11th St. down to Edwards x
the water plant, not to exceed $4,000.00 Gulliford x x

9. Action by the City Commission to grant authority for the purchase
f backhoes for Public Works and Water and Sewer from Florida Georgia
'ractor and Equipment Company under the Florida State contract.
Commissioner Gulliford reported there was a State Contract on loader
backhoes of JCB which is comparable to a 580 Case and a 410 John Deere.
Two backhoes could be purchased under State Contract for under the
$51,000 budgeted for backhoes for the current year The Committee, after
due consideration, recommended the city purchase two units under the
State Contract.
Motion: Purchase two (2) JCB loader/backhoes on State Contract, Cook x
one of which will be four wheel drive, total price not to Edwards x x
exceed $49,000.00. Gulliford x x
Howell x
During discussion before the vote, Mayor Howell asked if the funds
were available. Mr. Fellows said he had budgeted for the backhoes
to be funded from the Florida Municipal loan program, but he had men-
tioned at a previous meeting that he had approximately $150,000 of carry-
over Capital Improvement funds from last year that was not used. He
planned to pay for the backhoes out of last years Capital Improvement
funds and reimburse the fund when the loan comes in. Commissioner
Edwards asked if they would be used only where they were allocated.
Mr. Fellows said it was his understanding one would be used by Public
Works for street work, etc. , and the other one used jointly by water
and sewer. Commissioner Edwards said they would definitely be using one
it the sewer plant once it is in operation, and did not feel that one
should be loaned out to another department. Mr. Fellows said you needed
to have an operator stay with it and operate it. The question was called
and the motion carried unanimously.

report on their progress for a master plan for development of Section E.
Recommendations on zoning would probably not be made, except to say what
it appeared to be. In sizing the utilities, they sized everything for

multi-family, which was a higher use than single family. They asked for
guidance as to how many phases for completion the Commission wanted.
The Commission asked the engineers to come back with a plan that can be
implemented in two phases, because some residents do not desire additional
city services of sewer, water and street paving. Commissioner Gulliford
asked if the engineers had looked at the impact on the potential change
at the interchange of Mayport Rd. and Atlantic Blvd, and they said no,
if the interchange is reconstructed, they felt sure there would be a
major impact in the area. Lines from Main to West 1st to Atlantic Blvd.
would probably be eliminated. Mayor Howell reminded them the street from
Atlantic Blvd. to West 1st and the section that went through the trailer
park had been abandoned. Drainage was discussed at length. They reported
in order to get the area to drain, some detention would have to be put in,
and they recommended using swale sections to percolate the water. They
will come back with their final report form, cost estimates, phasing re-
commendations on everything but drainage in two or three weeks, subject
to DER responding quickly to them.
13. Presentation by Gee and Jenson on design work in connection with a
new Public Safety building.
vee and Jenson, architects presented preliminary plans for the new Public
Safety Building. Miss Melody Linger reported she had worked on plans for
concept "C" which the Commission had chosen (3,000 sq.ft and 2,362 sq.ft.
which was based on the existing building and reducing in some areas and
increasing in others) The bottom line figure was close to $300,000. She
passed out copies of the existing building plan and discussed the major
concerns of both the police and fire departments. One major concern was
making the drive exit into the middle of the five points (Plaza, Seminole,
and Sherry Drive like it does now with the existing building in the way.)
Some areas also needed to be increased, such as records in the police
station, a day room in the fire station, and the restrooms. Only one rest-
room was in the existing building for both general public and staff. The
new building would provide a public restroom at the entrance to the police
station, and men and women restrooms, as well as prisoner facilities. In
the fire station, one of the major concerns was the circulation. They
provided for a pull-through drive where the trucks can pull in from the
back, park and then exit from the front once the existing building is
removed. Miss Linger stated they had stayed within the square footage,
allowed for future expansion of the records area, and the squad room. In
the dorm area, that could be expanded by going up. Mr. Fellows asked her
to explain to the Commission the concept of the hose tower and what
additional costs would be involved. Miss linger offered two acceptable
for hose towers, vertical and horizontal. She was asked if they had
taken core borings and she replied no, she was waiting until after the
30% review. Mayor Howell noted that land fill went on in that area at
me time, he thought on the west side of the ditch. The two chiefs were
asked their opinions. Chief Thompson expressed the opinion there were a
number of very positive changes that had been made after correspondence
between himself, the Fire Chief and Gee and Jenson. He pointed out one
PAGE NINE V V
MINUTES NAME OF

13. Presentation by Gee & Jenson - continued
item that may have been overlooked. At present, The Beaches Council on
Aging had office space in the Public Safety building, and there were
no accommodations provided in the new facility. Miss Linger said some
additional expansion had been planned, but if a huge addition was desired,
you would have to add another facility. She pointed out there were no
roofing shingles at present that would withstand 140 mile wind so they
would have to go to a metal roof. Mayor Howell asked the differential
in cost not to comply with the coastal setback ruling. Miss Linger said
she would look into the matter of the roofing and the hose tower which
would be the major cost difference.
Commissioner Morris returned to the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
Chief Royal agreed with the Police Chief there were some positive changes
Gee and Jenson had made, but there were some negative points: the truck
bays were too short for the fire engines, and some allowance should be
made for any new engines bought in the future which would be larger; the .
bunkroom exists through the hose tower and most towers traditionally were
like closets, hard to keep clean; the generator was set up next to the
bunkroom and should be moved because of the noise, and there was no
storage space for fire equipment. Chief Royal said it appeared the area
for future expansion of the Police Dept would cover the fire department's
rindows to the dayroom and office. Men leaving the bunkroom to go to the
restroom would have to go into the dayroom which was undesirable. The
police prisoner unloading facility would block one of the fire bays. He
expressed the opinion it might be better to move somewhere else and tear
the present facility down to give them adequate room to build so the
space could be better utilized. Perhaps the truck bays could be placed
between the police and fire departments where they would have access to
each other. The designer at present did not have much control over that
because of limited space. Discussion followed on necessary changes. The
truck bays would have to be enlarged, move the generator, and consider
more storage for the fire department.
Commissioner Cook excused himself at 9:00 p.m.
Ms. Linger said they would make the necessary changes, re-submit the
changes for a 30% Commission approval and go from there to 60% which
would be mechanical, structural, etc.
14.A representative from Gee and Jenson also presented a brief overview
of comprehensive planning requirements in connection with Florida's
growth management plan. He offered to do an initial letter report for
approximately $2,000 - $3,000. That would evaluate how the city stood
as of now, include some scheduling and priorities the city needed to
address, and cost estimates for ultimately updating out plant. The
Commission asked him to submit his proposal in writing.
15. Miscellaneous
;ommissioner Gulliford suggested they set up a study on plans for a
transfer station, possibly with Jacksonville Beach and Neptune Beach.
Commission agreed. Mr. Fellows said the subject had been discussed.
He had not involved the other beach communities, but would do so.

15. Miscellaneous - continued
Mayor Howell reminded the Commission of a Special Call meeting on Monday,
May 5, 1986 at 7: 15 p.m.
Mayor Howell commented several of Selva Marina units have Advisory Plan-
ning Boards that up until recently consisted of representatives of the
developer. The Covenant and restrictions, at a point, passed the matter
onto the property owners. All the property has now been sold by the Bulls
and they have resigned from the Advisory Planning Boards. However, the
city had recognized the Covenants and restrictions that exist in the
various units and some citizens are requesting variances from city
regulations and also Covenants and restrictions regulations. The Com-
mission agreed the citizens should go to the Board of Adjustment. The
only decision the Board of Adjustment would render would be in connecti.n
with a variance of a Municipal Ordinance. The citizens would also be
told the city would not give them the authority to violate any Covenants
and Restrictions. The suggestion was also made the residents of the
various units should be informed that 51% of the people in each unit
could form their own Advisory Planning Board as provided by the Covenants
and Restrictions.
'here being no other business to come before the Commission, the Mayor
..eclared the meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m. .
