Adjourn • I MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE ATLANTIC BEACH CITY COMMISSION HELD AT THE CITY HALL ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1969 AT 8:00 P. M. Present: William S . Howell, Mayor-Commissioner Arthur J. Longo Louis C. Holloway, Jr. Robert R. Rosborough John W. Weldon, Commissioners and R. C. Vogel, City Manager Oliver Ball, City Attorney Adele S . Grage, City Clerk The meeting was called to order by the Mayor-Commissioner, Mr. Howell. The Invocation was given by Commissioner Rosborough. The minutes of the meeting of September 22, 1969 were approved as written upon motion of Mr. Holloway, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried. Minutes of the meeting of October 7, 1969 were approved as written upon motion of Mr. Weldon, seconded by Mr. Longo and carried. Mr. Howell recognized visitors present and called for any business from the floor not on the Agenda. There was none. Mr. Howell presented for second and final reading Ordinance #42-69-1 covering annuity for certain City employees and read same in full. He then declared the meeting in session for Public Hearing on said Ordinance. Notice of Public Hearing was posted in line with Charter requirements. As no one appeared either for or against, Mr. Howell declared the Public Hearing closed. Mr. Longo then moved that Ordinance #42-69-1 be passed on second and final reading, seconded by Mr. Rosborough. Mr. Howell brought up for discussion that there is one other employee who has been with us a considerable length of time, that is Robert Stewart. It states for a continuous period of at least 25 years. The only period of interruption that Robert has had was when he went into service back in World War #2 and then he came back with City. Mr. Howell wondered if this paragraph 2 of Section 2 might be changed to say except for time out for military service or something like that. The matter was discussed and there was no objection to making certain military service an exception. It was agreed it would take another Public Hearing and final reading if changed. After further discussion Mr. Weldon made a substitute motion that Paragraph 2 of Section 2 be amended to read substantially as follows: "Have been an employee of the City of Atlantic Beach, Florida, except for required active military service in the Armed Forces of the United States, for a continuous period of at least 25 years" , seconded by Mr. Longo, and after further discussion the question was put and the motion carried. The Public Hearing on said Ordinance as amended will be October 27, 1969. • 1 Minutes 10/13/69 Page #2 A letter from Mr. George Bull together with a deed to the City for Park located in Selva Marina Units #6 and #7 were presented. Mr. Bull who was present advised that they would like for the deed to be accepted in time to record before January 1st so that the property involved will not be subject to 1970 taxes. Accepting and recording this deed will not operate to extinguish the obliga- tion of Selva Marina Realty Company to improve the Park prior to the City' s assuming the maintenance of this Park in accordance with the original agreement. A copy of Mr. Bull ' s letter is attached to these minutes for reference. There was discussion of the matter during which Mr. Weldon advised he would be willing to go along if given a definite time to improve. It was advised that in accepting deed does not mean we are accepting maintenance or responsibility. Mr. Weldon advised he would like to see the date of completion stated in deed, or if not accomplished, the property will revert to Selva Marina Realty Company. Mr. Bull advised he had no objection, as they are obligated to improve in line with prior agreement with City. After further discussion it was agreed that wording be approved by City Attorney. Mr. Weldon moved that the deed be accepted upon modification that grantor will comply with terms of agreement between grantor and City and that they will beautify such Park and it be accepted by the City Commission within 6 months, and in event of failure to do so the land will revert to the grantor, it' s successors or assigns, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried. A letter was presented from Mr. George W. Stansell asking approval of his building 6 duplexes on Main Street North of Levy Road and installing a lift pump and sewer lines to nearest gravity line. Mr. Parks has figured on this and it will be in line with our overall sewer system plans. Mr. Holloway asked if others could hook onto this line and it was advised that no one else could hook on to this station but these six units unless the Stansells wished to expand and then they would get approval for additional units. They want water and sewer on one service. There was lengthy discussion and it was brought out that it will fit into overall City plan. There was no objection to the plan. The landfill contract with the Consolidated City of Jacksonville was presented for approval. It has been approved by the City of Jacksonville subject to our approval. The total sum is $2, 339. 76 to be paid $194. 98 each month from October 1969 through September 1970. It is up $1.46 per month over last contract due to addi- tional garbage services in City. Following discussion Mr. Longo moved approval of landfill contract as presented, same to be signed by proper City officials, seconded by Mr. Rosborough and carried. There was a discussion of the condition which existed at present landfill site and the City Manager was instructed to get with City of Jacksonville Health Authority on this. It was advised the landfill is moving to Jacksonville Beach. Minutes 10/13/69 Page #3 Resolution #69-17 to transfer funds in 1969 budget was presented and read by the Mayor. Said resolution is a corrective one, due to Resolution #69-12 getting our funds out of balance. Mr. Longo moved passage of Resolution #69-17, seconded by Mr. Weldon and carried. Copy of Resolution #69-17 is attached to these minutes and made a part thereof. Mr. George Bull spoke at length against the proposed Recreational Park being planned by the City of Jacksonville for area North of Atlantic Beach. He advised they had been to Court unsuccess- fully and had also requested plans for the Park without success. He requested the City to get the plans if possible. Mr. Howell advised he is willing to take a long look at the matter and that we have already objected to the traffic problem which may result. Mr. Rosborough recommended that the City Manager get the facts and see if can get together with other side on this and bring information back to Commission. The mileage bills for September 1969 were presented for City Manager in amount of $49.60 and the City Clerk in amount of $20.00. Mr. Rosborough moved approval, seconded by Mr. Holloway and carried. The City Clerk requested the Commission to approve excusing the 1969 City tax in amount of $2 . 16 on Lot 145, Saltair. This lot was bought by the City after January 1st and is part of the Park site on Seminole Road. It was understood at time of purchase that the seller would not have to pay 1969 taxes. Mr. Holloway moved the taxes on this lot be excused for 1969 as requested, seconded by Mr. Longo and carried. The Municipal Court dockets for September 22nd and 29th, 1969, and October 6th, 1969, were received for information. Also Fire and Police Department reports for September 1969 were received for information and filing. Mr. Vogel advised he can replace present heating system with oil heat for less than $1, 000.00 and asked for approval of expenditure. He has received 3 proposals on this. Mr. Weldon prefers that we call for bids. There was a discussion of lower- ing the ceiling and improving City Hall, following which Mr. Rosborough moved approve not to spend over $1, 000.00, seconded by Mr. Longo and the call vote was: Aye: Rosborough, Howell Nay: Holloway, Longo, Weldon Whereupon Mr. Howell declared the motion not carried. Mr. Weldon then moved that we call for bids on the heating of City Hall, seconded by Mr. Longo and carried. Mr. Weldon brought up the situation on Main Street West of Mayport Road relative to the cars parked there, and if there was a license issued for a parking lot in this location. It was ad- vised there was no such license issued. It is understood they . Minutes 10/13/69 Page #k4 are cars belonging to Shipyard workers at the Naval Base and they park there and a bus carries them to the Base and back. Chief Stucki advised that bcth businesses stated they were customers of theirs, and he therefore felt he had no legal right to keep their customers from parking there. The matter was turned over to the City Manager and City Attorney to investigate and report back at next meeting. Mr. Longo stated that Pleasant Acres still looks bad and he thinks we have done all we can reasonably do. He asked that the City Attorney look into and see what can be done further, either to make owner take care of or the City do it and bill the owner. Also Mr. Longo feels that the "Stop Sign" at Seminole Road on East Coast Drive, Itpound lane, needs to be moved northward about 25 feet as it,OblockApevisionat present location, and per- 11 haps we could stencil "Stop" on pavement. He also asked as to list turned in on blind corners. Mr. Vogel advised we are working on it. He called especial attention tc; the corner of Royal Palms Drive and Plaza. Mr. Rosborough asked as to finishing up paving area where they went across with pipe at Country Club Lane and Seminole Road. It was advised it is now finished. There being no further business Mayor Howell declared the meeting adjourned. / j fl....1611110...a_. L Will 1.m S. Howell Mayor-Commissioner Attest: 1 / alta-e--- A . , / ' Adele S.
