3-21-13 Commission Briefing Minutes of Commission Briefing
March 21,2013
Present: Mayor Mike Borno, Mayor Pro Tern Maria Mark, Commissioners Mark Beckenbach
and Jonathan Daugherty, City Manager Jim Hanson, Human Resource Director Sue Danhauser,
one reporter and one citizen. Commissioner Carolyn Woods was absent.
The meeting was called to order in the Commission Chamber at 3:02 pm.
Subjects discussed included several items on the Agenda for the upcoming Commission meeting
on March 25, 2013, as follows, with Mr. Hanson reporting on each item:
1. Commission Meeting March 25, 2013
• 7B—Ordinance on the number and size of flags allowed
• 8A—Purchase of property to add to River Branch Preserve
• 8B—Videotaping commission meetings
• 8C—Pay and Classification Study
2. Agenda for Meeting on April 8th. The City Manager stated he did not normally go over
the agenda for meetings farther in the future except the one for the Monday following the
agenda briefing. The list of items that were coming up on the April 8th meeting caused it
to be unusual and he wanted to review it with the City Commissioners. Items scheduled
for that meeting are as follows:
• Impasse hearing of the Blue Collar Union. Because of the concern over the time that
it would take for this item, it was decided that a special meeting would be scheduled
for 5:30 pm on April 8th so that this item could be handled before the regular meeting.
• Presentation of the audit for FY 11-12. The City Manager indicated he may ask the
auditor to delay presenting this to the City Commission until the following meeting
because of the lengthy agenda for the meeting on April 8th.
• Ordinance to change the meeting schedule (deferred from 3/11/13 meeting)
• Recommendations to amend the Animal Control Ordinance, particularly with
reference to dangerous dogs. There was a discussion about this item and, because of
the crowded agenda for the April 8th meeting, Commissioners requested that it be
delayed for presentation until the next meeting on April 22"a
• Award annual resurfacing contract.
• Approve consultant to design East Coast Drive draining project.
• Budget amending ordinance for the pay study and videotaping (1st reading)
• Flag Ordinance (2nd reading)
• Floodplain Management Ordinance (2nd reading)
3. Discussion about the need to schedule the next pre-agenda workshop. Even though the
ordinance to change the meeting schedule to eliminate the need for these pre-agenda
workshops was deferred until the meeting on April 8th, there would still be one more pre-
agenda workshop if the Commission followed the normal schedule. Consequently, a
consensus was reached to schedule the next pre-agenda workshop on Thursday, April 4th
at 3 pm.
4. Public Input; Mitch Reeves was the only citizen who spoke. He recommended that
everyone stand at the pre-agenda workshop which would make the workshops go faster.
5. Code Enforcement Complaints dealing with the Dagley junkyard. Commissioner
Daugherty asked the City Manager for a brief summary of the City's actions and response
to complaints received earlier this week about cars and possible pollution in and around
the Dagley junkyard.
6. Commissioner Daugherty reported that he had met earlier this week with developers for
the Selva Marina Golf Course and raised issues of concern about pedestrian access,
automobile access, meeting Atlantic Beach building codes and the overall traffic impact
in Atlantic Beach, and particularly at the five-way stop intersection.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 3:50 pm.
