To: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Maureen King, City Clerk('~k-
In recent years several factors have increased the work load in the City Clerk's office, a few of which
are listed below:
The number of cases being brought before the Code Enforcement Board has greatly increased
since afull-time Code Enforcement Officer was hired. Before the city had afull-time Code
Enforcement Officer, regularly scheduled meetings of the Code Enforcement Board were
frequently canceled because no cases were being brought before the board. Now, there are
several cases at each meeting, fines are being levied, and liens are being filed.
2. The law regarding the issuance of occupational licenses is constantly changing and requires
additional verification of information and coordination with state agencies such as the
Departmem of Business and Professional Regulation, Construction Industry Licensing Board,
Health Department, etc., prior to issuance of licenses.
With the completion of the Beach Avenue project, eighty-one new assessment accounts have
been established.
4. Eighteen months ago we purchased document imaging equipment and it is our intent to scan
and store permanem records such as ordinances, resolutions and minutes on optical disk and
due to the marry other tasks which must comply with deadlines or schedules, it is difficult to
find time for this equally important work, and progress on this project is much slower than
we had hoped.
I have also attached an overview of the responsibilities of the City Clerk's office.
Donna Sasser, our part-time employee has resigned to pursue other employment interests and I am
requesting that the City Commission approve that she be replaced with afull-time employee. I would
suggest that afull-time position be created at a Grade G-16 with a salary range of $8.76 to $13.26.
enforcement. Hdshe could provide fill in and relief for the School Crossing Guards when
they are sick, which is now done by cert~ed Police Officers which takes sn officer out of
service for at (east three hours a day.
The CSO could also be trained and certified to write panting rickets, as wdl as other dutid
that would greatly benefit the operations of the Police Department. Community Service
Ofricers are utilized in many police departments throughout 1'lorida, including Jacksonville
Beach.
COST:
We recommend hiring A fulhtime C.S.O. We suggest a starting pay rate of 57.50 per
hour, which would cost the city approximately 57,800 plus benefits for the remainder of
this year. We recommend adding this full time C.S.O. position to the budget for fiscal year
1998-1999 at a total yearly cost of approrimately 520,300 plus benefits.

CITY 01' ATLANTIC BEACH
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Additional Animal Control
SUBMITTED BY: J. Campbe~
DATE: April 17, 1998
BACKGROUND:
r"
In 1997 the City of Atlantic Beach received over 5,000 requests for animal control service.
We presently have one Animal Control Officer who works 40 hours per week. However, he
has been putting in extensive overtime in order to keep up with citizen demands. As of the
first of April, which is half way through the year, the Animal Control OfTicer has already
encumbered 59% of the allotted overtime budget. The summer is coming, which will be
the busiest time of the year.
With the increase otcalls for animal control service, and the need for the present Animal
Control Officer to be able take time off for vacation and Personal Leave days, there is a
need for additional animal control assistance.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend that an additional Animal Control Officer be hired to assist, and to be able
to give the city twice the present coverage for animal control requests for service. We
estimate that the cost of one additional Animal Control OfTicer for the remaining si:
months of this fiscal year would be approximately $10,000 plus benefits.
An alternative would be to hire what is known as a Community Service OtTicer. The
benefit of hiring a Community Service Ollicer, C.S.O., is it would assist the Police
Department in providing expanded and more efficient service in several areas to the
citizens. The CSO could handle duties that are not law enforcement related functions,
that are now handled by certified police officers. These services include, but are not limited
to: taking minor theft, vandalism, and informational reports where there are no suspects,
no evidence, and are only necessary for a matter of record. They could be utilized to
handle animal control complaints and write animal control citations, allowing the Animal
Control Officer to handle the hazardous animal complaints and major animal code
construction and completion of any span over the Intracoastal Waterway between
Johnston Island north to the Atlantic Ocean.
Hurricane Evacuation
ISSUE #7:
Atlantic Blvd. (S.R. 10) is identified as an evacuation route in the Northeast Florida SRPP.
An operation such as this will not add additional vehicles to this route, provided operations
cease prior to any hurricane eve-tt. Tn addition to operations, the applicant needs to provide for
the safe operation of the ship in the event of a hurricane, removing it from harms way and
preventing any significant damage to the ship and the suaounding area.
Recommendation:
Prior to commencing operations, the applicant shall submit a hurricane and flood
protection management and contingency plan to the City of Atlantic Beach which details
(1) the applicant's commitment to suspend operations during a hurricane watch or
warning as necessary so that patronage traffic does not affect the evacuation capacity of
Atlantic Blvd., and (2) the plans for relocating the ship to a safe and secure location.
IS
Weekday time of departure shall not be before 9:30 a.m for the day cmise and 7:00 p.m.
for the evening cruise. The weekday day cruise shall arrive back at Johnston Island no
later than 3:00 p.m.
ISSUE #5:
Access to the site is provided by a service road which intersects with Atlantic Blvd. east of the
Intracoastal Waterway Bridge. Atlantic Blvd., a regional roadway, is ahigh-speed, high-
volume arterial providing access from Atlantic Beach and Mayport to downtown Jacksonville.
The Florida Department of Transportation, in their review of the ADA, voiced concerns about
the existing intersection geometry and its ability to adequately and safely accommodate the
amount of traffic resulting from the proposed project. Of pazticulaz concern is the safety issue
of cars entering onto. Atlantic Blvd. into ahigh-volume traffic stream. The FDOT is presently
reviewing a gap study prepared by the applicant to determine whether there is adequate
spacing to allow for safe access onto Atlantic Blvd. and whether an acceleration lane, or other
type of intersection control, is necessary to accommodate project traffic. _
The applicant shall be responsible for the cost of construction of all site-related
improvements at the access road/Atlantic Blvd. intersection as deemed necessary by the
FDOT. Site-related improvements may consist of, but not be limited to, a westbound
acceleration lane on Atlantic Blvd., a westbound deceleration lane, and/or signalization.
No development shall occur until FDOT agrees to and the NEFRPC and the
Jacksonville Urbanized MPO have been given an opportunity to review a site access
improvement plan.
ISSUE #6:
The proposed operation involves a cruise through the Intracoastal Waterway navigational
channel to the Atlantic Ocean. Transportation plans call for an expressway over the
Intracoastal Waterway, connecting the Mayport area with areas to the west. Upon
construction, the Wonderwood Expressway will cross the Intracoastal Waterway between
Johnston Island and the Atlantic Ocean. The height of the span over the channel could
effectively negate operation of a lazger type vessel, such as the one planned to be operated by
the applicant, or any future replacement ship.
The applicant shall agree to cease operations if the Wonderwood Expressway span, or
any other crossing of the Intracoastal Waterway between Johnston Island north to the
Atlantic Ocean, is not of sufficient height to accommodate the vessel. In addition, the
applicant shall agree to hold harmless any and all applicable agencies, including but not
limited to the FDOT, Jacksonville Transportation Authority, City of Atlantic Beach, and
City of Jacksonville for any business damages or takings claim resulting from
14
Wetlands
ISSUE #3:
Pazking for the operation will be permeable, unpaved pazking. The applicant has not provided
an analysis of the impacts of the unpaved parking azea on drainage and runoff into the
Intracoastal Waterway, identified as regional resource in the NEFSRPP. With continuous use,
swales may form in the unpaved pazking aeeas, thereby increasing untreated mnoff from the
island and turbidity in the azea of the Intracoastal Waterway.
Recommendation:
Prior to the fourth month of operation and annually thereafter, the applicant shall submit
a monitoring report to the St. Johns River Water Management District and City of
Atlantic Beach that evaluates soil conditions and surface water quality of stormwater
runoff to prevent water quality impacts from the grassed pazking aeeas. ff the Water
Management District detearunes that the grassed pazking azea is negatively impacting
the Intracoastal Waterway, the applicant will implement appropriate measures consistent
with the environmental resource permitting program.
Recommendation:
Prior to commencing operation, the applicant will develop best management practices
and submit them to the Water Management District to minimize impacts to water
quality.
Recommendation:
The applicant shall use time-released granulaz fertilizers on the grassed parking areas.
Transportation
ISSUE # 4:
According [o the applicant's calculation of daily traffic to be generated by the project, impacts
will be below the 59o criteria adopted in Rule 9J-2.0245, F.A.C. for determining substantial
impacts on regional significant facilities. However, the hours of operation will have a direct
effect on determining during what time of day traffic from the project will impact Atlantic
Blvd., which meets the definition of a regional roadway in the NEFSRPP. Operation of the
cruise ship should be scheduled such that project traffic does not impact Atlantic Blvd. during
the a.m. peak hour period between 7 - 9 a.m. the p.m. peak hour period of 4 - 6 p.m.
The weekday hours of the cruise ship operation will be limited to off-peak hours only.
13
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
Vegetation and Wildlife
ISSUE #1:
Portions of the site on which the operation is planned aze located in the habitat of the Federally
and State listed endangered West Indian Manatee. The applicant has applied for a permit from
the Jacksonville District Corps of Engineers. The District Corps of Engineers has determined
that any permit issued will include conditions which will be adequate to prevent impacts to the
manatee.
The applicant will comply with all Jacksonville District Corps of Engineers permit
requirements, and detail its compliance in the first annual monitoring report. All
proposed mooring dolphins will incorporate manatee bumper zones. Manatee lookouts
will be employed during all docking anti sailing activities, and the developer shall post
educational signs and provide educational materials regazding manatee protection
measures.
Water Suaaly
ISSUE #2:
Two 4-inch diametec Floridan aquifer artesian wells exist on the site. While one of the wells
will be used to supply water for a small office or ticket operation, no well water is planned to
be used by the ship.
Recommendation:
Water from the existing artesian wells may only be used by the support uses located on
the island. No water from the on-site artesian wells may be utilized by the cruise ship
operation.
The applicant will meet all requirements adopted in Chapter 64E-8, Florida
Administrative Code for operation of the existing artesian wells. Any water wells not
planned for future use and water wells determined to no longer be of service shall be
abandoned in accordance with Rule 40C-3.531, F.A.C.

For the purposes of calculation the fire flow requirements for a vessel of your size to be docked
on Johnston Island the Fire Department used the same formula as would be used to calculate a
building on land with the same occupancy type.
The formula is:
Length x width x height / 100 =desired fire flow
Your Ship 255 x 50 x 30 divided by 100 = 3825 GPM
The desired fire flow is 3825 Gallons Per Minute.
We talked to our Public Works Department and learned that it would be almost impossible to get
the required fire flow from the current well systems. However we could get the water from the
intercostal by way of pump.
Therefore it is our recommendation that you provide a fire flow of 3825 gallons per minute, using
a fixed pump and distribution system. In addition for backup we will recommend that a 6 inch dry
hydrant be installed that can be used by the fire department if the fixed pump fails.
If you desire to fuel from the island it will be necessary for you to follow all federal state and local
codes regarding fueling. In addition to protect the waterways from a spill you will be required to
boom the vessel from the shore around the vessel to the shore.
If you have any questions please contact me.

Re: Johnston Island Structures
I have performed a cursory inspection of the structure on Johnston Island to
determine its condition fcr use with the proposed cruise ship business now being
reviewed by staff.
There are six structures on the island. Four are utility/storage buildings and are
in poor condition. These structures would probably be more cost effective to be
removed and new structures built rather than attempting to restore them to a condition
that would meet the minimum requirements of the Standard Building Code. Two other
structures, the owners house and the restaurant could be remodeled for various uses at
a minimum cost.

DATE: Apri122, 1998
TO: George Worley/City Planner
FROM: Robert S. Kosoy/Public Works Director ~~
SUBJECT: Day Cruise Ship at Johnston Island
On Apri121, 1998, a meeting was held with the applicant for the subject project. We still hsve
several concerns:
1. re s - We have not received plans for an acceleration lane to allow vehicles leaving the
facility a safe approach to the Intracoastal Waterway Bridge. These plans need to be signed and
sealed by a Florida licensed Professional Engineer.
In addition, traffic studies should be submitted to the City to address trip generation.
2. Permits - On April 22, we received a copy of the Department of the Army permit which
was unsigned, but a letter faxed copy of sheet 7 was signed by Beverlee Lawrence. We will need
a copy form the St. Johns Water Management District permit or their agreement to waive a
permit or transfer authority to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). We
will require a copy of the Submerged Lands permit submittal to the FDEP. In addition, approval
must be obtained from the Department of Health for using the two existing wells as a limited use
water system. The letters attached to the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) Assessment
Report from the permitting agencies aze tit permits.
3. Solid Waste -Arrangements will need to be made with the City for Waste Management to
provide dumpster service.
We have other minor concems as outlined in our January 22, 1998 memorandum which was
made part of the DEI.

1) Department Recommendations
2) Specific Conditions from the Regional Plancvng Council
REVIEWED BY CITY MANAGER: `~
AGENDA ITEM NO.
The appGcanu shall comply with all St. Johns River Water Management District and Department
of Environmental Protection regulations relating to fueling of vessels.
Issue five:
Existing buildings and other structures. The Building Official has conducted a cursory
inspection of the six buildings on the site and has found the four storage type structures to be in
poor condition The house and the former restaurant are in repairable conditions. The applicants
have proposed to make use of several of the structures for office anti ticket sales. The former
restaurant will not be used by the applicants. Staff recommends that the applicant be required to
*Ptrave or rehab~7itate all of the structures prior to start of operation with the exception of the
former restauram building This buildin¢ shall be made safe and secured aeainst entry in
compliance with adopted buildin¢ codes In addition to the rehabilitation of the structures staff
recommends that the existine undPr~ound fuel storage tanks be removed prior to start of
~ratinnc arut in rmm~liance with federal standards. The applicattu shall notify and obtain
appropriate pemuu from tbe City of Atlantic Beach Buikding and Fire Departments.
Additional issues:
In addition to the above, staff recoromends the following:
I) A site and shipboard security plan be provided to the Policc Department for review and
approval prior to start of o ions.
2) All state and local hermits be obtained and conies provided to the Citv prior to start of
operations.
3) A hurricane preoared*~.s plan be provided to the Public Safety Director prior to start
of operations Such plea must contain specific at><eeptent to cease operation upon the issuance of
a hurricane warnin¢ effecting this area or upon directive of the Denartptertt of Public Safety
Nothing in these recommendations or iu the final devebpmeot order shall be interpreted to
ezempt C.B. Universal from fully complying with all other state, federal and City of
Atlantic Beach Isws, ordinances and regalatioas.
During staff review ofthis proposal five issues became appazent which staff believes
require adoption of specific conditions. In addition several other issues need be considered by the
City Commission in determining the feasibility of this proposal
Issue one:
Traffic impact on Atlantic Boulevard. Based on the applicants information, the project is
estimated by the FDOT and the Metropolitan Planning Organization to generate 790 vehicle trips
per day. By those agencies standards this will be less than 2% increase of the current volume on
Atlantic Boulevazd. Staff however strongly agrees with the recotnmendation by the Reeional
planning Council to limit the hours of operation of the ship to the times specified under RPC issue
#4. weekday departures shall not occur prior to 9:30 AM and 7:00 PM and daylight arrival shall
not occur later than 3:00 PM.
Issue two:
Vehicular ingress and egress from and to Atlattic Boulevazd. The Metropolitan Ylarming
Organization has stated that the applicants must construct both a deceleration attd acceleration
lane to provide safe access to the island. The applicants have expressed the willingn.°ss to
construct such lanes. Staff recommends that the construction of an acceleration lane and a
deceleration Zane be required prior to the start of operation of the ship. The FDOT is now in the
final design phase of the Atlantic Boulevazd bridge expansion. Staff recommends that the DRI
development order reouire C.B. Universal to construct a compazable acceleration and
deceleration lane in conjunction with the wnstruction of the new bridge improvements to insure
the continuation of safe ingress and egress from this site. The applicants must comply with FDOT
standards for such design and must coordinate their improvements with the FDOT. The City of
Atlantic Beach shall receive and review these plans prior to commencement of construction.
Issue three:
Fire protection. The Atlantic Beach Fire/Rescue Department has reviewed this proposal
and recommends the applicattts be required toprovide a fixed pump and distn'bution system to
draft water from the Intra Coastal Waterway as well as a backup dry hydrant system to permit the
Fire Department to use if the pump fails. This system must comply with adapted Fire Protection
standards and all plans and installatioru shat! be reviewed and approved by the Fve Official The
adopted standazds require current deck plans and crew fire fighting trainatg records be supplied
by the applicant to the Fire Department.
Issue four:
Fueling. The applicants have indicated that they may occasionally fuel the vessel at the
Johnston Island location from trucks. Staff recommends that all such fiteling_be done only after
notification of the Fire Department and only with the use of an approved cortainment boom
system toprotect against a fuel spill in the waterway. The boom system shall meet applicable
state and federal standards and shall be approved by the Fire Department prior to gay fueling.

bypass channel on the eastern side of the island. The ship is proposed to cruise up the Intra
Coastal Waterway to the St. Johns River and then out into the Atlantic Ocean The proposed
operation will include two trips per day The vessel itself is 255 feet long with a passenger capacity
of 600. The installation oftbe necessary mooring and passenger loading structures will occur on
the east side of the island only. The existing buildings on the island aze proposed to be
rehabilitated and used for the ticket sales and maintenance storage. The former restaurant
building on the west side of the island is not to be used.
This proposed use must comply with the adopted regulations of the St. Johns River Water
Management District, the Florida Department of Transportation, the Army Corp of Engineers, the
United States Coast Guard, and the Department of Envitonmemal Protection and all other state
and local laws.

Johnston Island/Gambling Ship
April 17, 1998
The proposed Johnston Island CG zoning and gambling ship project stands to impact thousands
of residems on both sides of the Intracoastal Waterway. We hope that in the deliberation process,
consideration will be given as to how this project will affect everyone--Atlantic Beach residents
and Jacksonville residents alike. At stake is how much we, as an entire community, respect and
value the presevation and promotion of quality of life for all citizens.

RE: Johnston Island Zoning & Gambling Ship
Dear Commission Members:
By formal vote of its Boazd of Directors, West Beaches Community Association, Inc. (WBCA)
submits this letter of opposition to the Development of Regional Impact project proposed for
Johnston Island, specifically the gambling ship and intense CG zoning.
WBCA is an umbrella organization representing member neighborhoods comprising over 2,500
households west of the Intracoastal Waterway and within Jacksonville Planning Districts two,
three and five, respectively. Our organization has worked diligently to improve the quality of life
in our community through beautification projects, legislative initiatives, growth management
involvement and citizen/governmental partnerships.
Of concern to our organization is the insurmountable traffic problem that will be created by the
proposed Johnston Island/gambling ship project. Since access to the Island is limited, cars
traveling from the west would need to make a U-tum at the Mayport exchange and double back
westwazd to the Johnston Island entrance. Cars exiting Johnston Island heading east would be
required to travel west over the Intracoastal bridge and make a U-turn near or at the San Pablo
Rd. intersection. This is unsafe, unreasonable and unacceptable. Adding a "burst" of cars twice
daily from the gambling boat to the already busy Atlartic Blvd. will make this roadway absolutely
treacherous, not to mention the fact that many of those drivers will have been drinking while on
board ship.
WBCA assumes that Florida Department of Transportation has not incorporated this proposed
project into its improvements to Atlantic Blvd. and design for the new bridge at the Intracoastal
Waterway. We would hope that any conditions imposed by DOT and any other agency including
the Department of Community Affairs and the City of Atlantic Beach be in place prior to the
commencement of this project. We certainly would NOT approve if the new Atlantic Blvd.
infrastructure and new bridge were to require costly retrofitting to accommodate this project
should it go forward.
~ •.
Pablo Point Civic Association
April 16, 1998
Page Two
The improvements for the access to the property need to be resolved. The Florida Department of
Transportation (DOT) is approximately 50% complete with the design of a new bridge at the
Intracoastal Waterway. The design did not anticipate a commercial development on Johnston Island.
The cruise ship development would require improved access onto Atlantic Boulevard. The city
should coordinate with the DOT to assure that all improvements proposed by DOT aze strictly
adhered to prior to the cruise ship starting operation.
The proposed development of Johnston Island is proposing that none of the parking areas will be
paved. After periods of rain, these areas could become wet and muddy, potentially causing cars to
become stuck in the mud. If in the future the a parking area is paved, the project would have be
permitted by the St. Johns River Water Management District.
If the city had amended their comprehensive plan, all adopted maps would have been changed to
include the annexed parcel. The adopted maps include: future land use, soils, flood plain, and
wetlands. The information on these maps could have assisted in the development review process.
Policy 1.3.6 of the Future Land Use Element of the Atlantic Beach Comprehensive Plan states that
"Commercial and light industrial development projects shall be located and designed so as to
minimize adverse effects on residential aeeas, traffic facilities and the aesthetic character of the
city." The proposed development of the projects on Johnston Island is not in compliance with this
policy of the Comprehensive Plan. The development of the cruise ship on Johnston Island would
not minimize adverse effects on traffic facilities. The development could create adverse conditions
on Atlantic Boulevazd as people enter from the west or leave the island to travel east, they would
need to make U-turns on Atlantic Boulevard.
I hope this gives you some insight in the issues concerning the development of Johnston Island. If
you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know.
Sincerely,
/4~~~`~

Re: Johnston Island Zoning
Deaz Valerie:
Johnston Island is on the north side of Atlantic Boulevard, under the Atlantic Boulevard/Intracoastal
Waterway Bridge. The only access to the island is via Johnston Road. Johnston Road is a two lane
undivided facility that intersects with Atlantic Boulevard, approximately 350 feet east of the
Intracoastal Bridge. Access to Johnston Road is limited to a right turn in or a right tum out.
The city of Atlantic Beach is proposing to zone this parcel to CG-Commercial General. The parcel
has no Future Land Use designation in Atlantic Beach. The parcel must have an land use designation
identified on the Future Land Use Plan of the Atlantic Beach Comprehensive Plan prior to zoning
the parcel. This is required by Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. The Florida Statutes require that all
regulations relating to land development be consistent with and promote the implementation of the
adopted comprehensive plan. The zoning of the property can not implement the comprehensive plan
when the comprehensive plan has not been amended to include the property.
The intent of the CG category ,according to the Atlantic Beach Zoning Code is "to provide general
retail sales and services for the city as a whole. These districts should have direct access to major
thoroughfares". The Johnston Island parcel does not meet the intent of the CG category for the
following reasons:
• "The property does not have direct access on to a thoroughfare. The access to Atlantic
Boulevard is via Johnston Road. Access is limited to a right tum in or a right rum out. Upon
entering the property to the east, one must make a U-rum on Mayport Road to gain access
to Johnston Island. To travel east when exiting the island, one must make a U-turn after they
travel across the Intracoastal Waterway bridge.
• The proposed use is not providing "general retail sales and service to the city as a whole."
The access limits its abil ity to serve the city, Atlantic Beach, as a whole. Also the developers
of the property are projecting the development of the property to draw persons from the
entire First Coast area.
• The City of Atlantic Beach should determine the appropriate zoning category for this
property. Once the land is zoned, all uses in the CG land uses are allowed, not just the cruise
ship development proposed.

SUBMITTED BY: Robert S. Kosoy/Director of Public Works i
DATE: Mazch 18, 1998
BACKGROtiND: On March 6, 1998, we received final plarts and specifications for
the Levy Road Improvements Project. The project proposes to construct a nest 10"
diameter water main on the north side and reconstruct the roadway from ~fayport Road to Main
Street. The reconstruction of the roadway will provide two 12' wide lanes wi[h 2' paved
shoulders on each side. The existing roadway will be removed to permit construction of [he ! Z"
stabilized sub-base, 8" limerock base course and 2" of asphalt.
In addition, the emergency effluent outfall sewer line that is located on the south side of Levy
Road will be televised and point repairs made as required. The project will make necessary
drainage improvements due to the reconstruction of the roadway and intersec[ion improvements,
widening of the turning radii and turning lanes, will be constructed at ~fayport Road. The project
does not include new sidewallcs but they can be constructed if desired.
Staff final review comments aze being transmitted to the design engineer, Connelly & Wicker,
and a permit for the new water line will be submitted to the Department of Health during the
week of 3/23/98. The FDOT permit will be submitted by the Design Engineer this week.
A preliminary cost estimate has been submitted by the Design Engineer for 5264,06 for the base
bid and 5439,547 if the water line work is added to the project.
In summary, the project should be ready to bid by 4/30/98, or whenever permits aze approved.

AGENDA ITEM: LEVY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS FUNDING
SUBMITTED BY: Nelson Van Liere, Finance Director
DATE: APRIL 20, 1998
BACKGROUND: On Mazch 23rd 1998, the commission approved the funding for the
Levy Road Improvements. The funding was identified as Water and Sewer Fund Reserves of the
amount of $439,547. This action makes it necessary tc pass a resolution amending the Operating
Budget to allow for these expenditures to occur. Because this project includes both water system
and road improvements, and the road improvements will not ultimately be reflected as an asset of
the Water Utility Fund, it is necessary to transfer the road improvement portion of the project
cost to the Capital Project Fund. This trazufer of $264,065 is needed to properly account for the
street improvements as a general fixed asset. The resulting $175,482 will need to be an increase
to the Water Utility Fund, Atlantic Beach Division's Improvements Other than Buildings line

MEMORANDUM
April 20, 1998
To: Jim Jazboe, City Manager
From: Nelson Van Liere, Finance Director s.
Re: Authorization to sign State of Florida Annual Local Government Financial Report
for Fiscal Year 1996-1997
Annually, all local governmental units aze required to report to the State of Florida the revenues
and expenditures of the previous yeaz by fund group. The Genetal Fund, Special Revenue Fund,
Debt Service Fund, Capital Project Fund, Enterprise Fund, Internal Service Fund and the Trust
and Agency Fund aze the fund groups to be reported for the City of Atlantic Beach.
The reported revenues and expenditures aze summarized into the proper accounts required by the
State Unifonn Accounting System Manual and represent the activities of the fiscal yeaz 1996-
1997 as reported in our Financial Statements and Independent Audit Report presented to the
commission on February 9,1998.
The report has been completed and is attached for your review. You will note that the report
contains a place for Certification that requires the Chairman of Governing Boazd or Mayor to
sign.
Recommendation:
1 recommend that Mayor Shaughnessy sign the State of Florida Annual Local Government
Report for Fiscal Year 1996-1997.
Attachment I to Proposal -TAM Productions
Qualifications of the Point of Contact, H. W. McMillin, follow:
1. I have been a Professional Engineer (Industrial), licensed by the State of Florida
(#8433) since 1961.
2. I served nine years, 1974-1983, as one of the five Department Directors for the Naval
Aviation Depot in Jacksonville. The Depot employs 3500 employees who repair the
Navy's aircraft. I was the Director of the Management Controls Department (125
employees). My department prepared quarterly and annual budgets ($150 million
labor, $146 million material), provided all directives, ADP systems, accounting and
budgeting systems, and prepared all management reports/charts/presentations.
3. At the Naval Aviation Depot, I was responsible for installing an automated data
production recording system that replaced a manual system of record cazds. I installed

Jasmine Street (residential address) expressed concern that the JTA
interchange would negatively impact the quality of life for his family and
present ingress/egress problems for his business and other businesses
located in Section H. Mr. Brooks pointed out that ingress and egress
would be forced into a four block area resulting in heavy use of Levy
Road as the main thoroughfare.
Mr. Brooks requested that the Commission voice an opinion that the
flyover would be of no benefit to the City of Atlantic Beach. He
suggested that it would be in the best interest of the City to request the
project be put on hold until after the Wonderwood Expressway is built,
and at that time, a traffic study could be conducted to see if the flyover
was needed.
Mayor Shaughnessy requested that this matter be placed on the May 11,
1998 agenda for further Commission review and discussion. Mayor
Shaughnessy stated she had concerns regazding the proposed fifty foot
height of the flyover and its visual impact as one entered the City, as
well as access concerns for residential and commercial properties located
west of Mayport Road and south of Levy Road. The Mayor supported
the proposed southbound lane on Mayport Road which turned westerly
onto Atlantic Boulevard as needed for evacuation purposes.
Mayor Shaughnessy urged Mr. Brooks to inform his neighbors of the
May 11, 1998 meeting, and he stated he would do so.
Stephen Kuti of 1132 Linkside Drive read a prepared statement
referencing newspaper articles he felt were confusing to citizens. He
suggested that Staff should submit information in writing to the
newspapers to avoid misquotes and misinformation. He also stated he
was opposed to selling the Buccaneer plant and felt profits from the plant
should be used to maintain sewer lines. (Mr. Kuti's letter is attached and
made part of this Official Record as Attachment A).
Andrea Pennell of 579 Aquatic Drive thanked the City for the well
organized Easter Egg Hunt at Jordan Pazk.
Alan Potter of 374 Second Street read a written statement concerning
