,n~.~ i(/~/ ~~~/ ADOPTION OF THE TENTATIVE MILEAGE AND TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1994-1995 FIRST ITEM TO BE CONSIDERED: ~ - //~ Adoption of a Tentative Millage Rate: ~t~~I`/ i The rolled-back tax rate for 199495 is 3.1281 Tax noti.:es sent to property owners indicate a operating millage of 3.7721 and a debt service millage of .0972 `; The Operating MilWge represents a 20.59% fncrease over the rolled-back rate and is for the purpose of maintaining the current level of service of the General Fund operations and for the acquisition and improvements of parks. Motion to adopt a Tentative Millaga for Operating Purposes of3 7721 Open Public Hearing for Adoption of Tentative Millage Close Public Hearing and Adopt Tentative Millage If decision is made to reduce the millage at this meeting, then the City cannot decide to increase the millage later or at the final budget hearing without mailing each taxpayer a revised notice of proposed property taxes within 10 to 15 days preceding the final hearing and at the City's expense. ccrOND ITEM TO BE CONSIDERED: ~ / rf The total operating budget being proposed for the Fiscal year 1994.95 is: ! 19.404.988 The specific purpose for increase in property taxes: Increase in Personal Services 7% Increase in Operating Expenses 4% Acquisition of Parkland .6 Mills. Mahon to Adopt Tentative Budget Open Public Hearing for Adoption of Tentative Budget Close Public Hearing and Adopt Tentative Budget TONIGHT, YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR POWER TO REDUCE THE AD VALOREM TAX RATE TO LAST YEARS LEVEL BY ELIMINATING THIS PROPERTY PURCHASE PROPOSAL. I HOPE YOU WZLL RETHINK YOUR RECREATIONAL PROPERTY STANCE, AND ACT WISELY AND PRUDENTLY IN THE INTEREST OF YOUR CITIZENS BY REDUCING R'H IS UNWISE PROPOSED ADDITIONAL TAX BURDEN ON THEM. 3 REVENUES. I THINK THIS OPTION SHOULD AT LEAST BE INVEST IGATEU AND USING THOSE MONIES FOR PROPERTY ACQUISITION IS ALLOWABLE UNUER FLORIDA LAW, THE SECOND OPTION fS TO WAIT UNTIL YOU REALIZE A SETTLEMENT WITH THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE. IT IS MY BELIEF, AND I HOPE YOURS, TI1AT WE WILL SEE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUN'T' OF WINDFALL FROM THE RESOLUTION OF OUR INTERLOCAL DISPUTE. CERTAINLY SOME PART OF IT COULD BE USED TO PURCHASE PROPERTY, LIKE HR. TRESCA'S, FOR FUTURE RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. I HAVE TO BELIEVE RESOLUTION WILL COME IN LESS THAN A YEAR, AND I DON'T THINK THE TRESCA PROPERTY IS GOING ANYWHERE. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT BUYING IT FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. THE LAST OPTION, AND PROBABLY THE ONE I LIKE THE BEST, IS THAT YOU DEVELOP A TEN YEAR PLAN FOR RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. TARGET THE PROPERTIES YOU WOULD LIKF. TO BUY, BUDGET FOR THEW DEVELOPMENT TO MAKE THEM USEFUL, AND FROM THAT, YOU PRESENT A TOTAL COST FOR SUCH RECREATIONAL EXPANSION. YOU MAKE THAT PLAN KNOW TO THE COl47UNITY, PROPOSE FINANCING WITH A GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND OVER TEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS, AND THEN, BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE BOND, YOU LET THE PEOPLE OP ATLANTIC BEACH VOTE TO DETERMINE IF THAT IS THE WILL OP THE MASORITY OF THE PEOPLE. BECAUSE IT WOULD BE SPREAD OVER TEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS, THE ANNUAL COST TO EACH TAXPAYER SHOULD BE RELATIVELY SMALL, BUT HOST' SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CITIZENS WOULD DECIDE WHETHER IT WAS IMPOPTANT ENOUGH TO PAY THE ADDITIONAL COST. WHEN ONE LOOKS AT THE FACT THAT AD VALOREM TAXES DO NOT F,VEN COVER THE COST OF OPERATING PUBLIC SAFETY, WHICH IS TRULY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US, IT SEEMS VERY DIFFICULT 7b JUSTIFY AN EXPENDITURE OF THIS NATURE THAT REgUIRES A TWENTY PERCENT INCREASE IN MILEAGE RATE. IF YOU WERE TO SAY YOU NEED TO INCREASE TAXES BY A LIKE AMOUNT TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND RESPONSE OF OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT, I WOULD BE IN SUPPORT. 2.. ~/I.ny ~Z ~] ~ L to /9 `f BILL GULLZFORD, 9S BEACf{ AvENUE...IN ABSENTIA. t REGRET' 'PHAT I AM UNABLE 'I'O SPEAK BEFORE YOU '1'H IS EVENING BUT BUSINESS DICTA'1'ES 'PHAT 1 BE IN eAL'PIMORE AT THIS TIME. i HAVE ASKEU HY FRIEND, SHARF.'I`I'E SIMPKINS 'PO READ THIS F'OR ME, ANU SHE HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH 'PO COMPLY WITH MY REQUEST. I FELT COMPELLED 'PO CONVEY MY THOUGHTS REGARDING THE BUDGE'T', AND THE PROPOSED MILEAGE RATE INCREASE. FIRST, LET HE APPLAUD YOU FOR YOUR DESIRE TO INCREASE THE CI'PY'S SNVEN'I'ORY OF RECREA'PIONAL PROPERTY. YOU KNOW THAT I HELD THA`I' TO BE AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION IN A CITY TFIAT LOOKS AT BUILD OUT FN THE NOT-TOO-DISTANT FUTURE. WE WERE ABLE TO SECURE PROPERTIES FOR TF[AT END WHILE I WAS ON THE COMMISSION AND TNOSE PURCFIASES WILL BENEFIT THE COMY.UNITY IN THE FUTURE. WHILE I SUPPORT THAT CONTINUED DIRECTION, I DEPART FROM THE MAJORITY WILL ON THIS COMMISSION AS TO THE XETHO[K)LOGY TO FUND SUCH AN ENDEAVOR. AD VALOREM TAX IS NOT THE WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THAT GOAL. OUR ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES WHILE I WAS ON THE COMMISSION, NEVER USED AD VALOREM TAXES TO ACHIEVE THAT END. I'I APPEARS AT 'PHE TIME YOU DEC7DED TO INCREASE THE TAX RATE TO COVER THE PURCF(ASE OF PROPERTY, THE COMMISSION DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE PRIMARY PROPERTY TARGET, THE TRESCA TRACT, WOULD COST. ISN'T THAT SORT OF PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE? FURTHERMORE, EVEN IF' YOU SUCCESSFULLY SECURE PROPERTY WITH THE REVENUE PROM THIS PROPOSED TAX INCREASE, WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY, TO MAKE IT USABLE FOR RECREATIONAL. ACTIVITY? WILL THE INCREASED TAX STAY IN PLACE FOR THE NEXT SEVE'.2AL YEARS TO F'UNU UEV F.LO PMENT OF THE LAND YOU PLAN TO ACQUIRE.? LF.T ME SUGGEST THERE AAE THREE POTENTIAL SOURCES FOR FUNDING SGCH ACQUISI'PIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO LEAVE THE MILEAGE RATE BASICALLY WHERE IT IS, AND CERTASNLY MAKE SOME TAXPAYERS A LITTLE HAPPIER IN THE PROCESS.

In the last sir. years, the volume of traffic on Santlpiper Lane has increasetl sub stantialiy. Since the sf op signs were installetl, «e hear the screaching brakes of every truck as it brakes to a stop antl Me grinding gears of every truck a=_ it starts up through the intersection. Siz years ago the traffic on this service road was much lighter antl the ronsequent noise was muc r. less. The great value of the Donner Roatl eztension is that it increases the overall quality of the Donner neighborhood. Ho«ever, a straignt-lire eztension of Donner Roatl through the stand of trees would diminish the overall quality of the surrounding area antl negatively impact the homes immediately adjacent to antl at the end of the eztension. The best configuration, I believe, is the present route which leaves the stand of trees intact. It appears that the Donner Roatl eztension nos been a successful experiment. My great concern is to preserve what makes the current extension route successful: keeping the stand of trees and not constructing a straiaht- line road that would increase the has artlousness of the intersection.

Thompson, Cbief of Police Date: September 19, 1994 BACKGROUND: When Donner Road was opened up six months ago through the Sewer Plant intersecting with Sandpiper Lane, there were concerned citizens from various neighborhoods who were appointed to a committee. This committee was assigned Co evaluate the effect of the extension and to make recommendations r.o the Ci t.y Commission before any permanent changes were Wade. On September 15, 1994, the Committee met at 6:00 PH in the City Commission Chambers. The sign-in sheet is attached. None of the ^embe rs who were present opposed the extension into Sandpiper Lane. However, they opposed making the extension too "motorist friendly" such: that it might encourage additional through traff le in the surrounding neighborhoods. The recommendations were agreed upon by all members present. RECOMMENDATIONS: The Committee recommended the longterm opening of the Donner Road Extension. Specifically, the Committee recommended leaving Che roadway in its current conf iguration...winding, with single lanes at the entrance and exit. The Committee did not want to straighten and widen the roadway. However, the grave portion of the roadway should be paved. The committee recommended leaving the existing trees, and removing the gates at the east and west ends and replacing them with landscaping that would maintain the single lane accesses. The Committee recommended adding landscaping, particula_ly on the west end to beautify Che roadway as well ae promote a traffic calming effect. The Committee recognized that a great deal of foot and 6lcycle traff ie travels through the area, and recommended the addition of a sidewalk to the south of th roadway. Attachments: l) Sign-in Sheet REVIEWED RY CITY MANAGER: _ 4 • AGENDA ITEM NO ~• IMPROVER MEIGEBOREOOD APPEARANCE speed humps or other neighborhood traffic control devices can be an admission of a traffic problem in the neighborhood. Whereas roundabouts, particularly if landscaped, can be seen as streetscape improvements. DIBADVAN'pAGEB OP ROONDABODTB I. Roundabouts are very effective in many intersections but are not a panacea. They are another useful tool that should be considered when designing an intersection or traffic calming scheme. They are not suitable when: A. The major road carries a very high through volume, with a minimum volume of left turn traffic, and intersecting roads have a low volume. B. if there are insufficient gaps in the major flow the minor flow will have difficulty in entering the roundabout. in this case, the traffic mix is insignificant to force the necessary gaps in the major traffic flov. In some cases it may be useful to signalize one approach to a roundabout to create gaps for another leg for an hour or so in one of the peak periods. C. The traffic volumes are very high, say 6,000 vph. In this case a very large signalized intersection is necessary to separate vehicles in time. Alternatively, an overpass is probably more suitable and safer. David Blodgett, Michael J. Wallwork, P.E., January 5, 1993, 4 Therefore, once built, roundabout geometry stays the same ercept where the number of approach lanes are increased. I8. CONGEBTION CONTROL AT DRHAN INTERCHANGES The efficiency of roundabouts increase as left turn volumes increase. Vehicles turning left break up the opposing through flow and create gaps for the minor traffic to enter. Urban interchanges with high left turn volumes can be successfully controlled by either a roundabout at each set of ramps or by a large roundabout encompassing the whole interchange, usually within the normal right-of-way. g. LOW CCBT METHOD TO INCREASE LEVEL-OP-eERVICE (LOS) Inadequate intersection capacity is the major cause of a road having a low level-of-service. A roundabout because of its higher capacity is a low cost way to increase the level-of- service, especially where left turn volumes are high. %I. PROVIDEe L08 WITHOOT eIGNALIEED INTERSECTION SPACING LOSBEB Traffic signals spaced closer than about one half mile apart create problems in maintaining good even flows in both directions. A roundabout can sometimes reduce this problem by reducing the number of stops necessary. SII. PROVIDES EQUAL ACCE86 The timing of traffic signals usually favors the major movement to the detriment of the minor flows. A roundabout usually provides each driver with an equal opportunity to enter, depending on the availability of gaps, irrespective of the entry location. BIII. IMPROVES PERCEPTION OP TRIP TIRE The psychological as compared to the actual trip time is perceived to be three times greater fora driver stopped than moving. Roundabouts can significantly reduce stops compared to stop signs and signalized intersections. Drivers will feel less frustrated with the reduction of stop time even if the total travel time is not reduced. $IV. IMPROVES LOB IN CONJUNCTION PITH IMPROVED ACCESS MANAGEMENT Medians are an important strategy for access management. Hut they increase the number of left turns movements at signalized intersections and hence the likelihood of left turn collision. Increased left turn volumes will also decrease the intersection's level-of-service. Roundabouts, instead of signalized intersections, become more effective as left turn movements increase, thus providing a better level-of -service. 7 IV• CAPACITY The capacity of a roundabout will usually be hi signalized intersection because there times (lost time Sher than a simultaneousl _ )' Vehicles are no yellow and red only enter Y A~~?eigoalized intersections, from each g from as vehicles can 9 movement or pair of r two legs simultaneously as time, As movements are separated green times from eac each intersecting traffic get longer headw h other in Whereas a driver cannot take advanta ye Qet longer bit circulatin waiting at a roundabout g °f those g traffic. lane scan a gppn DaytonalBeeachA tree lane les g1800 vph input t°a ndabout of sere' in handles around 5,000 roundabout in Melbo high level roundabout also vph at a high level o urne Australia through it where the two light rail transit f service.

ADVANTAGES OF ROONDABOOT6 SAFETY Roundabouts in the OSA and other countries have achieved a 50 to 9o percent reduction in collisions compared to equivalent intersections using 2 or 4-way stop control or traffic signals. Pedestrian/vehicle collisions are rare. This reduction occurs because: A. The number of possible conflict points between vehicles decreases from 32, at a 4-way intersection, to 8, at a roundabout. By reducing the number of conflict points the number of collisions will be reduced. B. Vehicle speeds are much lower, generally less than 25 mph. Lower speeds means shorter braking distances and longer decision making time. Therefore, even if someone makes a mistake a collision is easier to avoid. C. Easier decision making. A driver about to enter has one decision. "IS there a vehicle circulating in the roundabout that will block their path?" If not, they can enter otherwise they wait for a gap. D. If a collision does occur then the impact is much lower due to lower speed and the low angle of impact. At signalized or stop controlled intersections, approximately 53 percent of all collisions involve left turn collisions. A left turning driver misjudges the approaching gap or a right angle collision occurs when a driver "runs a red light" or a stop sign. Neither type of collision is possible at a roundabout. Fatal collisions are unlikely in comparison with other types of intersections because of the lower speed and angle of impact. II. OPERATING AND NAINTENANCE COSTS Basic signalized intersections cost an average $3,000 per year for electricity, maintenance of loops, controller, signal heads, etc. In addition, signal heads and controllers have to be replaced and a complete rebuild on a regular basis. Larger signalized intersections are more expensive to maintain. The only maintenance costs for a roundabout are for landscaping maintenance and the occasional sign replacement. III. CONSTROCTION COSTe Small roundabouts only cost several thousand dollars. Larger roundabouts can cost as such or more than a set of traffic signals. If the construction cost for a roundabout is higher, an economic analysis covering the construction, operating maintenance and col?.ision costs for the economic life of each usually shows the roundabout has a higher benefit/cost ratio.

Yet, as these roads expand to meet future needs, urban sprawl has yet built roadsnfasteenough to satisfy ever~increasin deo city 9 wands. Alternatively, ve can build our communities based on the traditional neighborhood. Then the number of trips on local streets and arterial roads will decrease and become safer and less congested. Ten foot vide lanes can be used, street parking can be permitted, with parking bane during the peak period -- one side in the morning, the other in the evening, if necessary. Bulb-outs at intersections and mid-block reduce pedestrian crossing distance and put them in a position where they are more visible to drivers. Medians with landscaping are an attractive pedestrian refuge. Landscaping is part of the streetscape, which also includes lighting, seats, trash cans, verandas on shops, etc., making walking more attractive. Buildings built at the property line with lots of details also enhance the street environment. 801QI11RY Traffic calming should be an essential part of each authorities' work, as it can have a significant effect on people's lives. If done yell with aesthetically pleasing treataents, the street environment is enhanced while the traffic becomes a partner rather that the dominant party in the neighborhood, All people can cove more freely and safely around their neighborhood, iSOre children will grow up to be adults, with fewer scars, and others will live longer and more fruitful lives in a aora pleasant environment.

They may be paved with paving blocks or other materials. Tney act as driveways with lots of greenery around them, instead of long, wide streets as now built. Despite the calmed nature of the street, sidewalks are still essential for the elderly, the physically/visually challenged, for mothers with strollers, etc. Elected officials and the community should be notified of the costs of any scheme. Equally important are the considerable savings, which are often harder to estimate. For instance, the savings from the reduced number of crashes can exceed all other costs. However, as these savings benefit the whole community and not just the area of concern, they are often ignored. Costs associated with a traffic management scheme include the following: Data collection Plan preparation Street surveys Resident surveys Final design and documentation Construction Maintenance Subsequent community involvement. To offset these costs there are substantive cost savings: Reduced number of crashes Less wear and tear on streets Less pollution, noise, etc. Property values will increase because of the better streetscape and improved amenity. A roundabout built as part of the initial construction is almost a zero cost, but to retrofit it can cost from $3,000 to $10,000. In either case, a 90 percent reduction in crashes[7] is a proven benefit providing an extremely high benefit cost ratio in comparison to 2 and 9-way stop signs.[5] ARTERIAL ROADB These notes have dealt with the need for traffic calming on local streets. Arterial road design standards have created high volume, high speed, wide roads that are a barrier and a hazard to any pedestrian who dares to cross. Yet the way we have planned and built our communities require people to cross major roads to reach their destinations. These roads are usually devoid of vegetation, lined with poles, advertising signs, and uninteresting buildings. The addition of right- and left-turn lanes increases the crossing distance for pedestrians. To further restrict pedestrian movements, super arterial roads with Bus services in residential areas need careful design. Devices have been developed to slow all vehicles while still allowing bus movements. These devices include roundabouts, chicanes, and slow points. There are slow points designed on bus wheel spacing that allow a flat travel for the bus but force vehicles, with narrower tracks, over a speed hump. Emer:iency vehicles require an acceptable level-of-service. Any device must be suitable for the type of emergency vehicle used in the area. In areas near fire stations and hospitals, select a device with care. For instance, vertical displacement devices can create discoafort for spinal patients in ambulances. Work with truck operators to define preferred truck routes and sign them accordingly. Bicyclists need attention, as some devices can obstruct bicycles. Hany devices can be modified to allow bicyclists to by-pass them. For instance, a street closure can be fitted with a bicycle link through the closure. People will only drive under constrained conditions for a short time. They will then start accelerating rapidly between treatments to make up for lost time. One option to prevent this behavior is to build subdivisions with short streets and mainly Tee intersections to reduce the opportunity to drive fast. OFFSET ON CRASH BATEg One device having a well documented safety record throughout Europe and Australia is the roundabout. In general, roundabouts reduce crashes by 50 to 90 percent[s], depending on traffic volumes, compared to other forms of intersection control. In Seattle, mini- roundabouts, although lacking splitter islands so wrong-way left- turns are permitted, have reduced intersection crashes by 91 to 96 percent[5) in comparison to 2 and 4-way stop signs. EPPECT ON NOBILITY The effect on mobility is difficult to document because every scheme is different with different problems, people, aims, and mobilityefor residentstandoare cooly recommended for short streetsn Schemes have failed because residents have refused to suffer the inconvenience caused by a street closure. Therefore, only use them when other treatments have failed. Diverters/partial street closures will affect the level-of-mobility for fewer residents than street closures. COSTe AND BENEFITS Streets designed for people where cars are partners, like the Woornerf, will be less expensive to construct and the savings can be used to beautify the street. Streets serving only a few homes better treated by other programs. If there is poor sight distance at an intersection, clear the sight lines. A large number of crashes at a single intersection can be due to a wide range of items which would require a safety study. Alternatively, residents unhappy with the streetscape identify trees and shrubs as part of a traffic calming scheme. Instead of lands raping, building a park so children do not have to play on the "un:iafe" street may be more appropriate. Poor land zoning that creates traffic problems or truck traffic may be better treated by rezoning or by working with the company managers to reroute their trucks. TEAPFIC CAL!lIBG TECHHIQQEB There ayes a range of techniques available, some oP which are shown in Table i. The range is expanding and is only limited by our imagination. Three simple techniques can prevent the need for retro-fitting of traffic calming devices: i• Construct mixed developments serviced by a fine-grained road network of narrow streets. 2 driversh haver otin entivesto speed 5 ~ (quarter mile) so 3• Make most roads intersect at tee intersections or control 4- way intersections with roundabouts. This will reduce the number of potential conflicts. When selecting a device or a series of devices, keep in mind that all devices have a limited range of effectiveness. Place them where the desired speed reduction is needed. Spacings of around 25o feet can keep speeds below 20 mph. A spacing of 400 feet will keep speeds in the 25 mph range. This is because drivers will try to accelerate to make-up time lost by going through any device. To help devices achieve speed reductions, landscaping can reduce long sight lines and create a closed-in environment. On long, vide, and straight streets, these reductions in sight lines are essential to help change the visual environment. Roundabouts and slow points, which physically reduce vehicle speeds, are more readily accepted than some other techniques because they do not decrease access. Use speed reduction devices only on straight sections of roads, not curves, so drivers have a clear line-of-sight. The sideways forces on a vehicle could affect its performance through the device. Driveways can affect the location of these devices, so special design features have been developed as shown in Table i. The planning process for a traffic calming scheme is complex and includes significant resident participation. In the past, skipping or skimming over parts of this process has caused schemes to fail. It is more than simply providing a technical solution to a specific traffic problem. It is an interaction between land use, transportation, resident/community needs, and preferences. It is not, and should not be seen as, traffic management solely for the safe and efficient movement of vehicles. It is a comm„r,;r., nr,.; e..« IdentifLProblems and Issues: Collect and analyze crash data, traffic volumes, streetscape, residential, neighborhood, and community problems. Establish Obiectives: Specify and get agreement on the scheme's aim with the residents. This step is essential in evaluating and comparing alternative schemes and their relative success. ~. Alternate Plans: Develop a set of alternate schemes meeting the above aims. Plan Selection: Evaluate the impact of each plan, including achievement of the aims, and undesirable or unavoidable impacts. After consultation with the residents, refine the final plan, design individual traffic control measures, and develop a staged construction plan. Implementation: Undertake any additional before studies, tell the community of the work program, and traffic detours. Often people don't appreciate what a particular device is really like on-the-road. A useful technique is to install cheap, temporary treatments so the residents can try them before proceeding with the final construction. Review: Never assume the scheme achieves the desired effect. Drivers can be very innovative and may find unexpected alternate routes. Conduct after studies to measure their effectiveness, impacts, and resident/community reaction. Change scheme if necessary. CONBULTATIOM MITB ADTHORITIEB Contact all involved authorities or organizations at various stages to avoid potential problems. These include the road authority, emergency services, utilities, bicycle clubs, planning organizations, and adjacent communities and municipalities, depending upon the scope and effect of the scheme. ALTERHATIVEe TO TRAPpZC CALMING Often, preliminary investigations will reveal if the problem is arterial roads. They do so by making the travel time on the residential streets greater than the travel time on the adjacent arterial roads. Traffic calming also seeks to control the behavior of the remaining drivers. To be effective, traffic calming devices need to be part of a scheme extending along a street, several streets, or throughout a neigh:~orhood. The aims are to control traffic over an area, not at an isolated site, and to be compatible with street activities and adjacent land uses. Nany examples of traffic calming devices exist for retro-fitting: slow points, speed humps and speed bumps, chicanes (devices that cause a driver to move left/right as they travel along the street), and roundabouts (mini-traffic circles that physically force drivers to slow down to 10 to 15 mph). Nore extreme examples are street closures or restricted access. During the initial street design, other treatments can be built into the street: narrower streets, brick paving instead of asphalt, and different street designs (woornerf). When considering a traffic calming scheme, many different concepts and perceptions have to be considered. However, many schemes have the following common aims: Improve safety for people, especially children, by controlling conflict points, reducing vehicle speeds and vehicle volumes. Improve the physical environment by lowering vehicle generated noise, pollution, and disruption. Create a green and inviting streetscape. TRAYYIC CAL![ING EZpERIENCE Nany examples of traffic calming schemes exist. In Europe and Australia, traffic calming techniques began in 1970 and are nov into their second and third generation. Their effectiveness has been proven and many now appear to be part of the original street design rather than an afterthought. To reach this position, there was a strong desire to change the balance, to experiment, to learn from others, and to do the ^right thing" for all people. Since each location has its own problems and needs, new and improved devices were, and are still, being developed. THE PLANNING PROCESs To be successful, a traffic calming program needs a structured planning process, community partie ipation, and consultation with all relevant authorities. The project is undertaken in response to the needs of residents o£ a street, area, or the community. Residents as-e the main initiator of traffic calming schemes, although elected representatives or city staff can also initiate schemes. even in a "calmed" street.

For instance, some people have been hit while walking on the road or in the Swale because there are no sidewalks. Other examples im~olve walking on a sidewalk built without a curb to act as a barrier to errant vehicles, or crossing the road to get to the sidewalk. Children who walk and play on the streets without sidewalks do not develop the respect for the dangers involved in shariny the street with vehicles. Construction of local streets with curb and gutter and sidewalks will make a significant improvement in pedestrian safety by separating people from cars and giving people and children a safe place to walk. Overall traffic calming can reduce crashes in residential streets by an average of one-third.[5J 2• Security; Reducing vehicle speeds and/or separating people from vehicles reduces and/or eliminates the vehicle threat. This makes people feel more secure about using a street, or letting their children use the street with little or no supervision. 3. Lifestyle: Traffic calming enables people to reclaim their street. To use it for simple pleasures like walking, bicycling, social interaction, travel to shops, parks, schools, etc. It allows then to wash the car, to play with and let children play, all in a calm quiet area. 4. ;street Ambiance: By designing calm streets or retro-fitting streets with traffic calming devices, many opportunities arise to greatly improve the streetscape so it becomes an extension of people's front yards. Traffic calming can help change the vide open feeling to one of closeness, vhere colors change as the seasons come and go, and vhere greenness reduces the impact of black and white of concrete and asphalt. Even as the use of traffic calming grows, single entrance, single function subdivisions continue to compound existing problems. They reduce the opportunity to make trips by other modes of transportation - walking, bicycling, and mass transit. They increase the number of trips, increase the travel distance to each destination, and the number of trips that have to be made by car, intersections. These intersections quick l.y became saturz The cause was dead-end collector roads which provided si entrance/exit to subdivisions. Residents were forced tc a this single exit no matter which direction they vent. result was an overload of the arterial road system with high turning movements which saturated major intersecti The end result has been a high number of conflicts and cras. With so many trips and so far to qo, drivers demanded received wide, high speed roads with multiple turn la; Such roads act as barriers for pedestrians and dig communities. Two-way left-turn lanes (TWLTL) were developed to pro~~ unlimited turning ability for cars. They also create hazard and a barrier for pedestrians. According to rec research, they are now being recognized as a signific hazard for motorists[2). The 1990 issue of the AASNTO Manu Geometric Design of Streets and Nighvays, page 826, taut i~ engineers about using TWLTL's. REABONB FOR TRAFFIC CALMING Area-wide traffic calming began as a means of limiting the speed vehicles and their dominance of the street. It expanded to inc lu safety, security, lifestyle, and street ambiance. Sa et The most compelling reason vas the carnage on lot, streets.

Local Streets - Urban Areas TRAYPIC CAL!(ING Traffic calming began in Holland and Australia around 1970 tc reduce traffic problems in residential streets. The reasons varied: vehicle speeds, the use of residential streets as a "cut- throu7h", to improve the safety and amenity of the streets. It began because of the reactions by residents to poor planning and read design. To avoid future problems, it is better to plan mixed developments, to reduce trips. Then add a fine-grained street network using short streets that intersect at Tee intersections or at four-way intersections controlled by roundabouts. Often it will also be necessary to build in other devices, including narrow streets. BACxGROOND Streets serve many functions. They may provide for on-street parking, circulation, or access to properties for owners, visitors, service and emergency vehicles. Children play there; neighbors meet and socialize there. People use streets as an extension of their yards. Streets are not freeways. Residents expect their streets to be: safe for their children as yell as themselves; a place where people have freedom of movement; a quiet place devoid of through traffic; a place where vehicles travel slowly, sharing the space with pedestrians and bicyclists. why did the need for traffic calming occur? For more than 5000 years, communities were designed with a fine-grained, grid road network. Development vas mixed and based on the quarter mile scale -- the five minute walk. This pattern existed until after the Second World war. Then, in the late 1940's, the motor car became the dominant force in society. Pedestrians and mass transit were excluded from planning and design. As cars became cheaper and the masses gained untold mobility, a flight to the suturbs occurred. There development vas segregated by function into single-use zones, and in many cases by price. In the USA, the trend vas probably the most pronounced because of cheap gasoline, low interest federal loans, the interstate highway system, and cheap, readily available land for development. Hass transit was removed, car performance and road standards increased. Sidewalks and visual points of interest were deleted. Open space vas replaced with parking lots. With the segregation of developments and a lack of interconnections, driving trips increased dramatically. This vas particularly tree on residential streets where trips increased to 10 to la trips per day per household[1]. The result was an increase in traffic and conflicts. There are other effects of car dominance which require a change in thinking to calm arterial roads: • A hierarchical road system developed with many signalized ~/ TRAFFIC C~4LMING Michael WaOwork, P.

Compliance Stop signs are uud to improve the salay of an intersection by assigning right-of-way; therefore, compliance with stop signs is essential for their effectiveness- Several studies have shown that in situations where stop sigm are innalled bw are not warrant ed, baud on nationally adopted stan~ Bards, there is a low level of compli~ ante. In these cases, motorists were observed either rolling or running a stop sign. When a driver does not believe that a restrictive sign appropri- amly reflects the conditions, the driver often disregards it. This was studied in Boulder and the results arc summarized in Table 1. Stop sign <ompbanu studies were completed at nine four-way and four three-way stop loratiom. Ot the 900 ors observed at the lour.way locations, 27 percent made a full stop. Of the 350 vehicles oburved at rhree~way loctions. 7 per- cem smppetl. The majority of the observed ors at all locations made a rolling stop (slewrA to less than 3 miles per Iwur (mph) but did not come Io a wmplne smp).

Thompson, Chief of Police DATE: September 19, 1994 BACKGROUND: The Traffic/Parking Committee had a meeting on September 15, 1994 in the City Commission chambers to discuss traffic problems and solutions 1n Atlantic Beach. One of the first subjects discussed was the previous recommendations fro^ the Committee about the Stop Signe on ocean 81vd., East Coast Drive, and Sherry Drive. Chief Thompson said that he had been asked by elected officials whether or not he supported the recommendations, and he said that the Police Department does not recommend -adding the Stop Signs. He offere, a variety of reasons, and suggested that the Committee would he ^ore effective if it established specific standards to use when considering requests fro^ citizens. An emotional response to such a request can be coon to rprcductive for the City. There were Committee ^embe rs xho agreed with Chief Thompson's assessment, and there was concern that Mr. Nooda and others xho say have supported the Stop Sign concept were not in attendance at the time. Although no official action was taken at the time, Chief Thompson was left with the impression that the Committee xas not committed to the previous recommendations on adding Stop Signs. RECONHENDATIONS: I RECOHMEND THAT NO ACTION BE TAAEN RELATIVE TO THE PREVIOUS RECOMHENDATIONS TO ADD HULTIPLE STOP SIGNS TO OCEAN BLVD., EAST COAST DRIVE, AN[ SHERRY DRIVE.

The cost estimate provided by the consulting engineers (P, N. 6 A.) suggests a construction cost of 54,800,000. This Pigure plus the engineerimg fees of ;300,000.-plus, will result in a total project cost of E5, 100,000. This figure does not include any allowance for coat in gencies. Obviously, cost reduction on the construction items moat be considered and implemented prior to bidding the project. Items worth considering include: (7) Do not "salvage' the two ezisting 300-[Y generators. 5!R ~f}~~ (2) Do not connect the ezisting electrical service to the y planned new electrical service. g124 17~ (3) Provide (only) a ^ew 600 gY generator ,Sn lieu of a (nominally) 7200 KY generator. 4~2 (4) Delete So its entirety the new concrete work and Lhe four Z new static screens at the Influent Structure.

The CORMD:~Modeling waz puformed last week using CORMIX 2.1 which is the new standard. Results from the CORMIX 2.1 varied significantly form the results obtained a year ago using CORMD: 1.4. FDEP Tallahassee waz contacted and Haun and Sawyer was instructed to use tlr older CORMIX 1.4 model. Unfortunately, Haun and Sawyer had purged CORMIX 1.4 from the'v computer. FDEP was again contacted and attempted three tirnes to provide the CORMIX 1.4 disk files. The ides transmitted by FDEP were either incomplete or cortupt in each case. The last attempt by FDEP to transmit the ides was received on Monday August 21, 1994. Haun and Sawyer had also contacted their other offices and on August 2t, 1994, located a complae file of CORMIX 1.4 at another office and had that file modettled inro they computer. That internal transfer would have occurred earlier, hoverer, the individual with access to the CORMIX 1.4 at a satellite office had been on vacaton unto this pazt Monday. L: Haun and Sawyer has indicated they anticipate that a review copy of the WQBE~ Study report will be transmitted on Wednesday from they Raleigh, N.C. offices to PH&A and to John Leonard and Robot Fergan, both with Haun and Sawyer, for recdot on Thursday AURUSI 24, 1994.

The specific purpose for increase in property taxes were as follows: increase in personal services 7 percent; increase in operating expenses 4 percent, and acquisition of parkland .6 mills. lotion: Adopt tentative budget of :19,404,988 I Mayor Fletcher indicated it was his intent not to pursue specif icy areas where deletions of items had occurred, and he opened [he floor to commissioners for discussion of the tentative budget. Mayor Fletcher indicated he would like to use Bed Tax money for playground equipment and landscaping. de felt the city should not use Bed Tax money to fix an air conditioner in the Community Center. Commissioner Rosenbloom was against ear-marRing funds for epecif is items, as he felt [his approach would no[ benefit all citizens. de felt if the tennis courts were repaved and the air conditioner vas fixed in the community center at least the citizees would get use of the funds. 8e proposed using all revenue sources that were available other than ad valorem taxes. Commissioner Shaughnessy inquired if 2n additional motorcycle officer vas included in the budget to which Kim Leinbach explained no funds were lncluded for an officer, but funds were included to include a motorcycle. Commissioner Shaughnessy indicated her desire to have an additional motorcycle officer included Sn the budget at a cost of 533,000 including benefits. Mayor Pletcher felt a source of funds should be identified. Commissioner Haters felt that ezis[£ng personnel should be addressed before an additional officer vas hired. Mayor Fletcher opened the floor fog a public hearing concerning the motion to adopt a tentative budget of ;19,404,988 and he invited comments from the audience. Vic Raynor, representing the P.O.P., indicated the union vas opposed to the hiring of an additional motorcycle officer. 1t vas felt funds should be utilized for ocher purposes which were needed in the police department. Chief Thompson indicated Mr. Raynor's comments did not reflect the opinion of management. Since no one vlshed to speak further the Mayor closed the public hearing. The questior. vas called on the motion to adopt a cents[ ive budget of 319,404,988 and the vote resulted in 4-1 with Commissioner Rosenbloom voting nay. The motion carried. c.

He urged the commission to develop a long range plan. Hayor Fletcher opened the public hearing far adoption of tentative millage and invited comments form the audience. Whereas nine people spoke in opposition of the tax hike, three pecple spoke in favor of the tax hike. Since no one wished to speak further the Nayor closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Rosenbloem suggested ruducing the tax increase from .6 mills to .3 mills and thus reducing the amount of [ax revenue from ;250,000 to ;125,000, and financing the remaining ;125,000 through Barnett Bank. Be indicated money could be borrowed at 60 percent to 70 percent below prime. Be felt it would be more economical if it were financed. dmemded Notiom: -eduee [he tax increase from .b mills. to .3 sula which could reduce the amount of tax revenue from j250,000 to 1125,000, and fimnce the remai..t~..e ;125,000 through Barnett Baok. Notion died for lack of a second. Mayor Fletcher indicated he vas not in favor of improving the city's existing parks with [he money from the tax increase. He felt the city should do this within its budge[. George Ginsburg, 1173 E. Sandpiper Lane, asked if in the event the city did not buy [he park lands would the .6 mill increase be returned to the taxpayers, to which Mayor Pletcher explained the only way the city would be authorized to give back the .6 mill increase would be through a reduction in taxes next year. The cos®ission agreed Chat if parklands were not acquired the .6 mill increase of ;250,000 would be rolled back to the Caxpayezs next fiscal year. Commissioner Rosenbloom asked if the appraisal on parkland vculd be available to the city prior to buying the land, to which Yayor Fletcher indicated [he appraisal would be available to [he Commission. Mayor Fletcher suggested Commissioner Rosenbloom discuss the ma [ter with Alan Jensen since St vas under negotiation at the present tine. The question vas called on the motion [o adopt a tentative millage for operating purposes of 3.7721 and the vote resulted in 4-1 with Commissioner Rosenbloom voting nay. The motion carried. b.

M S V Y V N OSENBLOOM X Page 6 September 12, 1994 her concern was not co spend any mote money than vas needed in the next coming years. She indicated she vas in favor of a .6 mill increase in Cax to be on the books for one year, only. Commissioner Waters felt the issue had become confused because Dutton Island vas not being considered at the present time. He felt if it vas for sale at a price the city could afford it would be foolish not to buy the land. Presently, two pieces of land were available, and Commisaiocer Waters felt there vas an oppor[uoity now to purchase [he land. He felt the .6 mill increase should be for one year, and should be used purely to acquire land. He indicated vas not adverse to funding the purchase of the land over a longer period of time. Commissioner Weiss compared the proposed purchase of land to the building of the sea wall many years ago. He indicated at chat time property owners did not want to pay for the building of the sea wall, but future generations had benefited from it. He felt the purchase of parkland would benefit future generations. He felt there vas only so much land available and it vas not going [o get cheaper. Mayor Pletcher explained there would be a two step process (1) adopt the millage rate, and (2) pass a tentative budget. He indicated he felt the operating millage should be kept at [he same level it vas at the present tine, and funds from a .6 mill tax increase would be used for the purchase of parkland, only. Be indicated the rolled-back tax rate for 1994-95 vas 3.1281 and ta: notices sent [o property owners indicated an operating millage of 3.7]21 and a debt service millage of .0972. The operating millage represented a 20.59 percent increase over the rolled-back rate and vas for Che purpose of maintaining the current level of service of the General Fund operations and for the acquisition and improvements of parks. Notion: Adopt a tentative mf.llage for operating pmIpwaea of 3.7721 Commissioner Rosenbloom indicated he vas in favor of acquiring parklands, but fie vas against a one time tax increase [o pay for the purchase. tle felt the city should pay for the purchase of parklands over a long period of time which would spread the coat out among e larger part of the population. He indicated he vas also in favor of improving existing parka. Ne recommended obtaining a commitment from Barns[[ Bank to acquire parklands over a three [o five year period. He indicated taxes would be increased 17 perten[ for n one time acquisition of parklands, and the city did no[ even know what property it vas going to acquire. He felt the matter could drag on for some time, and he recommended rolling back .b mills and acquiring park land through deb[. Mayor Fle [char summarized the current deb[ the city had and he felt resources ve re no[ in place to buy new land. NAME OF COMMAS.

Adoption aF tentative m111age rate of 3.8693 b. Public 6earlag w operating budget for fiscal year 1994/95 Mayor Fletcher asked Mn Meuse, Finance Officer, [o report regarding amendments that had been made to the budge[ as a result of recent budget workshop sessions. Ms. Meuse reported she had made extensive changes in the budget according to [he wishes of the commission, under direction of the City Manager. She reported she had received the actuarial report on the Pension Plan. She indicated $35,000 would be returned to Bed Tax Funds, as i[ vas decided by the cocmfssion not to use Bed tax funds [o install a new air conditioner in the Adele Grage Community Center. Mayor Pletcher felt Bed Tar money should be used for parka, and if it was necessary to replace an air conditioner in a city building, money should be used from the General Fund. Commissioner Rosenbloom felt the commission, several months ago, agreed there should not be a tax increase. Ne indicated S[ vas felt it was important to hold hazes at the rate they were last year. The commission then agreed to impose a .5 mill increase, at which time Co®issioner Rosenbloom indicated he requested a portion of the .6 mill increase be used to maintain existing parka, but now it vas the feeling of the commission that the [ax increase would be used to buy new parkland, only. He indicated Dutton Island vas very beautiful, and he was no[ opposed to acquiring Tresca property. But he felt when Bed Tax money vas available it should be used to the maximum, Ne indicted he vas in favor of helping every group of people and every citizen, but every Cime the commission decided not to use Bed Tax money, taxpayer money must be used. Co®lseioner Rosenbloom indicted he had been in contact with Barnett Bank end they indicated they would fimnce a land purchase which would spread acquiaftion of parkland over time. Ne felt plenty of alternaCives were available to the city other than raising taxes .6 mills. Ne felt if taxes were going to be raised that [he millage increase should no[ be limited just to the acquieftlon of park lands, but that i[ should be used to repair existing parka. Ne wondered why the commission did not inquire from [he Parks and Rec reatlon Department their feelings relacive [o the acquisition of parkland. He added [hat he did not feel S[ vas necessary [o specify what lands would be purchased. Commissioner Shaughnessy indicated she recalled past discussions indicating the commission v~uld hold the line on taxes, and she added i[ vas her desSre to be fiscally conservative. She felt that the amount of land available for parks vas limited and before all the land vas gone every effort should be made [o secure it. She indicated the .6 mill [ax ~oould be used [o purchase land far parks and that she would like 1[ to be a one-year tax.

H. A A.) suggests a construction cost of Eb,800,000. This figure plus the engineering fees of 5300,000.-plus, will result in a total Drojeet coat of 55,100,000. This figure does sot include any allovance Por contingencies. Obviously, cost redaction on the construction items moat be considered and implemented prior to bidding the project. Items worth considering include: (1) Do not •aalvage" the tvo ezisting 300-RM generators. 5~ (2) Do not connect the ezisting electrical service to the ~~U'"1 planned new electrical service. glz4 (3) Provide (only) a nev 600 RV generator in lieu of a 1{r~ (nominally) 1200 RV generator. sit Z (A) Delete in its entirety the new concrete work amd the four its nev static screens at the Influent Structure.

Studv The following discussion is predicated upon daily telephone conversations with Mr. Scott Collins with Hazen and Sawycr. The CORMIX~`Modeling was perfomled Iazt week using CORMIX 2.l which is the new standard. Results from the CORMIX 2.1 varied significantly form the results obtained a year ago using CORMIX L4. FDEP Tallahassee was contacted and Hazen and Sawycr was instmeted to use the older CORMIX 1.4 model. Unfortunately, Hazen and Sawyer had purged CORMIX 1.4 from their wmputer. FDEP was again contacted and attempted three times to provide Lhe CORMIX 1.4 disk files. The files transmitted by FDEP were eithw incomplae or wrtupt in each case. The last a«cmpt by FDEP to transmit the files was received on Monday August 2l, 1994. Hazen and Sawycr had also contacted their other offices and on August 21, 1994, located a complete file of CORMIX 1.4 at another office and had that ftle modernM in[o their computer. That internal transfer would have oaurted earner, however, the individual with access to the CORMIX L4 at a satellite office had been on vacaton until [his pazt Monday. L ; Hazen and Sawyer haz indicated they anticipate that a review copy of the WQBELL Study repon will be transmitted on Wednesday from their Raleigh, N.C. offices to PH&A and w John Leonard and Robert Fergan, both with Hazen and Sawyer, for receipt on Thursday August 24, 1994. Il. Antideeradation Report. PH&A is updating and correcting the Antidegradation Report pa FDEP comments. ^ems outstanding include input from the WQBEL Study and information from FDEP. Discussion with Mr. leff Martin, FDEP, relative to infomlation on sea grasses, turtles, manatees, etc.. indicates that the information to be Droduced by FDEP maybe az much as two weeks m comin .This delay is due to Mr. Bi0 Brooks, FDEP, author of the necessary in(orrna on bein-/g on vacation this week. ram r2;~94 7820 ARLINGTON E%PRESSWAY ~ SURE 600 ~ JACKSONVILLE, FLDRIDA 37211 ~ (900) 7243516 ~ FA% (901)720-9163 n CITY OF ~~~rcl« aC[tC~ - " ~~ uao sARanEFx uNE . - ATLA~TIf lFXTI, FI.ORIIM )ISJ)a~l s__. - - _. .. - .. _ ~ _ - TF1.FlF10NE POa1 x65EA l\ FA% (9w) xssstu August 24, 1994 M E tt O R A N D U tt TO: Kim D.

Peterson President Bwche Counil On Aging ]IP/ck O~ ~~ I have to abandon that and tie into the system? What guarantees do I have that I won't have to except for your opinion that i won't have to. Attorney: I'm saying, the present state of the law the state law, as far as septic tanks are concerned, would remain there unless it's a danger to public health and safety. I don't know what the law will be next year. Because, as you know, EPA and all the other regulatory agencies are _ gradually trying to eliminate septic tanks. I don't know what they're going to do in Tallahassee or in Congress, and no one else does. Resident: I was told by the Building Department today that we would have to pay the fees - the tap in fees and the impact fees; whether or not you wanted to use it; they couldn't force you to use the system, but you would still have to pay the fees. Mayor: You are not going to have to pay impact fees, monthly rates or anything if you are not hooked to the water or sewer system. You will have to pap the assessment if all of this goes through. Resident: So as the law stands right now I will not be forced to tie into the system. Mayor: As far as we're concerned you will not; that is one of the reasons we have not pledged revenues from water and sewer to fund the bond issue. That is why we have taken other sources so that we're trying to keep total local control of this without dragging in Tallahassee and Washington. ~`NOw, I will tell you this, when the City of Atlantic Beach put in the sewer system in the main area of the town which was done in 1959, everybody here had septic tanks. We did not force anyone to hook up to it. 98$ of the people hooked up because they know that septic tanks are just not healthy, but we did not force anyone to hook up. ~~ ,. VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT OF A PORTION OF DISCUSSION RELATIVE TO SECTION H SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PROJECT, WHICH TOOK PLACE AT THE REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING ON MARCH 9, 1987 Resident: (TO engineer) Are you stubbing lines out to the individual residences? Engineer: Yes Resident: Which will go to the property line? Engineer: Yes Resident: Then, we'll be responsible for paying the impact fees and tie in fees and other tie in fees from that point on? Mayor: Yes, sir, just like everybody else in the city. Resident: Which I understand from talking to Mr. Braid will run approximately S1900 - 52000 per lot. Mayor: Whatever, if that's what they told you, yes. Resident: Then also you said that state law says that if a line is there we have to tie into it, then after that you said that if we have a working septic system and well, that we are not required to tie Sn. What guarantee do we have that we will not be forced to tie into this system? Attorney: In response to that question if there is a septic tank that is located on the property that is working and in good condition it is my opinion and that's another reason since the revenues of the sewer system are not being used to pay off the bonds, since the septic tank is there and in good working condition, unless it becomes to the extent that it is a danger to the public health and safety, that septic tank will be allowed to remain there until the city can show that it is endangering the public health. Resident: Alrlght, there's still an error out there. You just told us there's a law saying we have to tie in and then you say in your opinion we don't have to. Attorney: We go under the state law which says you will have to tie in if the city can show that the septic tanks there are polluting the area and it's endangering the public health in general. Resident: That's not quite the way I understood it. If a line is there you have to tie in, danger or no, that's the way I understood the law. You see I've a new house and Z've got 52,000 tied up in a well and a septic system and do .r EXHIBIT c Discussion held at Special Called Meeting of January 17, 1999 relative to water and sewer assessments. The Sever Line at Seminole Road between 17th and 18th Streets was being discussed. Citizen of Seminole Road (name unclear) asked if she could have her own plumber install this work. Mayor Fletcher: Are you talking about the connection of it? Citizen: Yes. From the city line into my property. Jarboe: Individuals do that. It's the responsibility from where the tap is to your house for your plumber to do it at your cost; it's not going to be any additional cost: (It was further explained the cost indicated in the letter the citizen received from the city vas the city's cost to lay the line. Mayor Fletcher: The City is not requiring property owners to book up; it's pour election to do so whenever you should elect to do so. Citizen: Either to water or sewer? Mayor Fletcher: That's correct. 4 -f.y: u.~. rrr~~su.L~ ~~-^St11 ABHT Cash Flay Stateaent 11/1/93 through 8/18/94 page 2 ODTFI.OMS (continued) Production Costs: costuwes - R~t/BUy/Made Set Decoration Gifts i 1lvards Set Materials - I.7aber i Bldg.

Approval to pave a portion of Dourer goad, and authorization to vnive the bidding process and proceed with the project on an eaergency basis Mayor Fletcher explained the portion of Donner Road under discussion had been open only five months. He reminded everyone of a decision chat vas made by the commission five months ago wherein it vas decided to temporarily open Che Donner Road extension for a trial period of six months, during which time a traffic study would be conducted. He indicated citizens of Selva Linkside community had not been officially queried as to [heir feelings about the access. He explained a Committee of citizens appointed by the Commission to study the matter had never met. He indicated he vas no[ Sn favor of using CDBG funds for road construction. He felt CDBG money should be used for low income housing, and he felt paving the road should be paid for out of funds derived from expansion of the sever system since the road would be used to travel on when the sever plant was under construction. George Worley, Cicy Planner, explained the funds under discussion were termed CDBG lapsed funds" and ae such were available and eligible [o be used on a project such as paving a portion of Donnet Road. He explained the Commission had amended the CDBC agreement [o provide 566,370 for paving of Donner Road. Hr. Worley indicated [here vas a serious timing constraint and the lapsed CDBG funds had co be targeted by September. He urged the Commission to cake action and he indicated four contractors had been contacted. He explained any funds that were no[ expended would lapse [o the City of Jacksonville. Mayor Fletcher asked if [he funds could be used for other purposes. Mr. Worley replied that he felt if the funds were used for other purposes the matter would have to be approved by the Mayor's Budget Review Committee (MBRC) of the Cicy of Jacksonville and thus there would not be enough time [o secure the funds. Sharecte Simpkins felt [hat since Che City vas asking for less than 20 percent of the t oval budge[ [here would not be a problem gets ing it approved by the City of Jacksonville through an adminis[racive derision.

He indicated i[ would be impossible for Che city [o obtain lots by September. NAME OF COMMAS. M S V Y V N Page b August 22, 1994 working. Mayor Fletcher explained that in the past it vas the policy of the c i[y that residents did not have to tap into the sever system until their septic tanks failed. Commissioner Waters pointed out that residents had agreed to pay the costs of installing water and sever lines near their homes according to front footage of their property, and many people had paid, and continued to pay on an assessment program, large amounts of money. He felt it vas unfair, since people already paid for the sever lines, [o force them to tap into the sever if their septic tanks were still operating. He indicated [he City of Jacksonville Beach did not require property owners to pay for never 13nes, Sut only impact fees and tap-in fees which amounted to ;1,750.00. Hilliam Gulliford reminded the Commission that when Section H residents were assessed for front footage they were told they would not have to pay connection fees or hook-up to the sever until their septic tank failed. At that time, Hr. Gulliford added, the city's legal counsel advised that this vas legal. He urged the commission not [o change [he rules. He indicated the prior commission made a deal with Section H residents when they were told [hey would not have [o tap into city sever. A discussion ensued concerning advertisement of the matter under discussion, and some people felt there vas lack of advertisement. I[ vas explained while ordinances required advertisement and two readings, resolutions did not require the same, and that it vas not the intent of the city to keep information from its citizens. Mayor Fletcher felt the agreement that was made by the prior commission should not be broken. Ne explained if [he motion did not pass, the policy would remain the same and residents could delay tapping into city sewer until [heir septic tanks failed. Commissioner Heins felt that 1t vas important for people to tap into the sever system before [heir septic tanks failed, rather Chao to wait until of cer their septic casks failed. He Felt a promise made by anyone chat was not backed up by the law really wan not a promise. Commissioner Shaughnessy felt the matter vas no[ going to disappear, and that is would come up again because there vas an issue of safety. Commissioner Rosenbloom felt it would not be possible to sustain the moral obligation of past commissions. NAME OF COMMAS. M S V Y V N Page 5 gam. Commissioner Waters indicated he vas opposed to the motion. He referred [o copies of minutes that were included in the agenda packet indicating a[ Commission meetings held in the past city counsel Claude Mullis gave a legal opinion that residents us!ng septic tanks where sever lines were available to them, were not in violation of sate or city law unless there vas a public health hazard. (copy of minutes attached hereto and made a part hereof, Exhibit c). He reminded the Commission that the city had never required owners to tap into the sever system while their septic tanks were still operating. Commissioner Rosenbloom asked Alan Jensen if previous statements made by the city's attorney were valid. Alan Jensen indicated Slate Statutes required certain notification to property owners. He added the City vas not in violation of any state statute. He explained [he city's ordinance vas more restrictive than state statute, and he indicated under home rule powers the city could enlarge ar restrict requirements. Thus far, he added, the city had not required property owners to tap into the sever system while their septic tanks still operated. Commissioner Rosenbloom felt in the future it would be necessary for people to cap into city sever because of environmental hazards. He felt the commission had to do what vas beneficial for [he city, and not what vas beneficial for individuals. Commissioner Weiss referred to a map of the city which indicated properties [hat had not tapped into city sever. He iodica[ed approximately 270 residents were within 100 feet of city-owned sewer lines and could be required to hook up [o city services, which would result in approximately 3337,500 in impact fees for the city. He felt in order to make Atlantic Beach a safe place [o live it would be necessary [o have a city-wide sever system. He indicated Section H had been neglected in the past, and he felt it would be a good idea for people to tap into city sever nor, as i[ would probably be more expensive in the future. Hayor Fle [c her reminded everyone Chat state law did not alloy the rehabilitation of septic tanks. He Sndicated problems vl[h septic tanks were increasing. He asked Alan Potter to give a summary of the history of the water and sever system of the city. Following the explanation and summary of the city's rater and sever system by Mr. potter, many residents Fzom [he Section H and Ocean Grove neighborhoods indicated they would like to knor whether or not they would have to tap into the city's sever system. IC vas indicated by chose rho spoke that they would like [o be able to delay tapping into city sever while their septic Conks vets still NAME OF COMMHS. M S V Y V N Page 4 August 22, 1994 He reminded the commission [here vas an existing contract between the city and AHET and he suggested the commission designate someone [c meet with ABET and discuss the existing contract and agreement. He distributed a financial statement of ABET from November 1, 1993 through August 18, 1994 (attached herewith and made a parC hereof - Exhibit b) _ Several citizens spoke against the commission being involved in the operations of organizations using city facilities. Commissioner Weiss felt since money vas being made on city property, [he city should have some control. He felt that ABET should contribute to paying bills for the building, since chey would be making more money once renovations were completed and the seating increased to 80 seats. He commended Hr. Gulliford for distributing the financial statement on behalf of ABET. He indicated he felt the resolution should be approved. Commissioner Shaughnessy indicated she would like to examine [he resolution more closely. She felt a more business-like arrangement for [he property would be desirable, and she indicated she would like to have a workshop on the matter. itayor Fletcher felt ABET had been tremendously beneficial [o [he community. He vas opposed to the resolution, and he felt the contract becveen [he city and ABET should be negotiated in the future. He felt ABET should be fostered, and helped to grow. He indicated since ABET vas a non-profs[ organization, money made by ABET vas put into bettering the facility and into producing more plays.

He indicated the resolu[ior. and attached contract that appeared on the agenda were in draft form and basically the desire vas co establish a contractual relationship betweer. the city and whoever used the facility, with the idea of [he building being self-sustaining. Commissioner Rosenbloom vas opposed to changing the status of the operation of the Co®unity Center. He felt the existing syaten vas working yell and that it should be left alone. He felt that Parka and Recreation should continue to run [he [heater, and chat [he Co®ission should not be involved.
