Richard Reichler, 2025 Beach Ave., addressed Item 8B, speaking against the waiver request. He stated no
waiver application has been submitted and no attempt to show that the request meets any of the legal
requirements for approval of a waiver application. He stated the attachment included in the agenda is a
variance application, not a waiver application~ He stated after submitting it they violated the law by building
a 30ft. wide driveway anyway. He is requesting that the City deny the request or require that the owners
correct the driveway violation and the following three additional violations of the land development code.
The garage is built 5 ft. into the setback. A 6 ft. fence is erected in the front yard. The lot is in violation with
·50% maximum impervious requirement. He stated he is asking the Commission to require Mr. Carper or
other authorized official to actually inspect the property for compliance with the law and require the owners
to either change the materials used or otherwise reduce the amount of impervious surface on the property. He
stated he is requesting the City deny this application and require that the owners correct their existing blatant
violations of the Land Development Code.

Stated Mr. Komando has been working on the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement and it should be on the
next agenda.
Commissioner Becken bach asked that he explain further what is happening with the police station. Mr. Van

them to evaluate the site so that consultant can get to work as soon as they sign that contract. Commissioner

Hill asked that the Commission get reports during the regularly scheduled meetings specifically on what
progress is taking place. Chief Classey explained the only thing they are asking the consultant to do is
evaluate the site. He stated they are not doing building plans. He stated this is a very short process; from the
time signatme goes on contract, this is a 90-day process. He stated they were very specific and built in for
two public meetings before the Commission. He stated the items in the RFP all specifically came from the
Commission's direction and it was reviewed by the Commission before they were approved to send it out.
He stated there will be a public meeting by this firm to the Commission with an opportunity for citizen input
before they get knee deep into the study and will be able to hear directly from the Commission any more
detail or to expand on any of the facts. He stated the scope of the work has been set, which includes two
meetings, so if there were more that were desired that would be a renegotiation of the scope and an increase
in the cost. He stated they will take the Commission's input and employ that into their study and then come
back to the Commission with some different options about what they can do. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Van Liere stated they are still working on refunding the utility revenue system debt and that will be
coming back to them at a future meeting. He stated it should be about $1.2 million and about $130,000/year
in debt service.
He stated they have received many applications for the position of Public Works Director. He stated they are
looking to fill the Assistant Public Works Director position, as well.
Thanked Timmy Johnson and Yvonne Calverley and Public Works for their work on the Bowl Bash this past
weekend.
Stated all the Department Heads have been working hard to get their budgets into the computer so he can get
to work in balancing and coming up with a proposal. He stated he will put the meetings on the next calendar.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2
OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, ADMINISTRATION, ARTICLE II, CITY COMMISSION,
SEC. 2-16, TIME AND PLACE OF REGULAR MEETINGS, TO PROVIDE FOR TWO (2)
REGULAR MEETINGS PER MONTH EXCEPT FOR DECEMBER, CHANGING THE TIME TO
6:00PM, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Woods read Ordinance No. 5-14-61 by title.
Motion: Approve Ordinance No. 5-14-61 as read.
Moved by Hill, Seconded by Daugherty
Commissioner Beckenbach referred to the May 29, 2012 agenda stating there have been a lot of items that
were not normal items that would come before the Commission and now we are starting to settle down a lot
more. He would like to give it another 6 months to determine whether there is a need for change. He stated
he knows that staff has been pushed in the-past by the information that had to come through but right now he
doesn't believe today's agenda is overwhelming for anyone, whether or not they have a workshop first. He
stated at this time, there is no citizen who can say they didn't have the time to listen to what they had to say
or to review something or to talk to them. He stated with a change to this it will occur. He stated he doesn't
see a need to change from a workshop to a voting meeting.
Mayor Woods stated she would like to have a full Commission for this decision and asked if they want to
defer this to the next meeting.
Commissioner Hill asked the City Attorney how his other clients meet who are similar size cities or is there a
survey done on what other cities have done that is available. He stated he has a problem with the 6:00p.m.
start time but doesn't mind trying the other part. He also stated staff hasn't asked them for a whole lot and he
believes there has to be a driving force behind this. He stated he wants to explore this before he says no to it.
City Attorney Komando explained he is not aware that a survey exists but from their other clients, some meet
at 5:00, some at 5:30 and Orange Park meets at 7:00 with two Town Council meetings a month. He stated the
County meets twice a month as well without the workshop setup, but they also meet at 5:30 and intentionally
schedule their public hearings at 6:00 in case there is anything the public wants to participate in. He stated
the Commission then handles Commission business beforehand.
Mayor Woods stated she would like to do some kind of hybrid so the first part of the agenda gets taken care
of on a regular basis but the action on resolutions, etc. still stays in the workshop and gets moved to the next
agenda as the Commission feels comfortable with them. She stated that may help some of staff's problems
with just the regular day-to-day things that move along a little bit faster than having the workshops for
discussion on all these items. She stated she would still like to have Commissioner Mark in on this
conversation and believes it is important enough for all of them to be here. She stated she would like them to
start thinking about some kind of a hybrid so they can meet the citizens and staff's needs all together.
Motion: Amend to change time back to 6:30 p.m.
Moved by Daugherty
Discussion ensued. Mayor Woods stated she would like to request that he withdraw his motion and they
defer it to the next meeting.

Commissioner Daugherty withdrew his motion.
AGENDA ITEM# lA
JUNE 9, 2014
Page 6
Commissioner Hill stated he will withdraw his original motion if it can be put back on for an original reading
at a full quorum. Mayor Woods asked if they are going to ask staff to work out a hybrid for the next meeting.
Commissioner Hill stated he would like to have staff review it and also get a brief report on a number of other
cities that have a commute involved and are similarly sized with the same form of government. He stated
there are two issues: travel time to get here and the number of times they meet and the number of times the
public gets to view the information.
City Clerk Donna Bartle stated she could help with research on what other cities do, if she understands what
it is they want surveyed. She stated there was a recent survey where a citizen asked that the Commission get
the agenda packet out sooner so this city clerk sent a question to all the other clerks to get their input and of
the people who submitted the survey, six days was the most amount of time that they had their agendas out
prior to their meetings. She stated she believes they were talking about regular action meetings and doesn't
know if any of those also had workshops but their action agendas were out no more than 6 days, and in a lot
of cases it was the Thursday or Friday before a Monday meeting. She stated we are already doing better than
they are and with what the City Manager has proposed we will give an extra 5-7 days more than what we are
doing currently.
Mr. VanLiere asked what it is they want him to come back with. Mayor Woods stated she is thinking about
a concept they had discussed before where they had a meeting and a workshop and at the meeting they took
care of the consent agenda and things that just moved the City business along and then the workshop was for
all the other things that needed discussion. Commissioner Hill stated the workshops seem to him to be less
than productive, they talk about a lot of things but a lot of times they actually could take action on some
things if they opened an actual voting meeting, they could actually expedite some things that need to move
quicker and slow down some things that need to slow down. Mayor Woods stated any insight they could give
staff between now and the next meeting would be greatly appreciated. Discussion ensued.
Motion: Defer to June 9th meeting and give staff the opportunity to present some options.
Moved by Daugherty, Seconded by Beckenbach
City Clerk Bartle stated in order to put this on as first reading they would want it to be somewhat correct
language or else they will have to take it to a first reading again. She asked if they are saying to just put the
same thing on the agenda and then workshop it and then amend it before the regular first reading.
Commissioner Beckenbach stated 6:30 would be the time to keep it and as far as other changes are concerned
he would like to see what other options there might be. Mayor Woods asked the City Attorney to explain the
process. Mr. Komando stated he would anticipate that at the workshop they should probably have drafted
language a couple of different ways and, if they are just changing the time at that point, then the ordinance
will be ready for first reading at the next regularly scheduled meeting. He stated if the concept is to do a
hybrid, they can work on language to that effect and then they can also look to see what other cities are doing
to see if there is some language they would want to include.
Mayor Woods reiterated the motion and asked that they all talk to staff. Discussion ensued about the date to
defer it to and it was determined it should be June 9.

exception as permitted by Section 24-111 (c) ( 6), to allow contractors, not requiring outside storage in
the Commercial General (CG) Zoning District on property located a at 1651 Mayport Road.
Jeremy Hubsch summarized the use-by-exception explaining the updated final recommended conditions as
discussed at the workshop: 1. The applicants establish a continuous hedge line along the chain link fence that
borders the property at Mayport, Ardella, and Jackson Roads. This hedge line shall be six feet tall and shall
be maintained by a supplemental water system. City staff shall perform a yearly inspection to ensure the
hedge is compliant. 2. A City standard concrete apron from the edge of pavement to right-of-way line on
both Ardella and Jackson Roads at the ingress/egress points that are currently in place shall be constructed.
Mayor Woods opened the Public Hearing. No one from the audience spoke so she closed the Public Hearing.

B. Request for a Waiver from City Code Section 19-7 Driveway Limitations to Allow a 30Ft. Driveway
at 436 Beach Avenue.
Jeremy Hubsch explained the difference between variances and waivers. Discussion ensued regarding the
issues Mr. Reichler expressed during Courtesy of the Floor. Mr. Hubsch explained the background of these
issues and how they were approved. Mayor Woods stated she would like to defer this issue so the City
Attorney can look into this. Mr. Komando stated he would like more direction as to what concerns she wants
him to look at. Mayor Woods stated she wants him to look at everything Mr. Reichler brought up and that
Mr. Hubsch discussed, i.e. garage within the 20 ft. setback, how it relates now that they have the front and the
back and did the City Building Official have the right to grant a 5 ft. variance. Mr. Komando stated his
understanding wasn't that the setback issue was before the Commission but he is happy to look at those
things. He stated that decision may be something that can't be undone at this point. He stated Mr. Hubsch's
explanation of the use of a waiver for the driveway is entirely conect under our Code. He stated the driveway
portion of our Code is under 19-7, not part of Chapter 24 with the Land Development Regulations and when
Mr. Reichler was talking about the difference between a variance and a waiver, variances are used for zoning

Commissioner Hill asked if the same thing is happening on Orchid Street because he has noticed similar
failures under the road. Mr. Carper stated those were supposed to have just been repaired last week. He
stated Orchid Street is 30 years old and the problem there is probably leakage quite deep, because the sanitary
sewer is very deep, but they have just had some repairs done over there.

A. City Manager's Report.
City Manager Van Liere asked for direction from the Commission as to whether they wanted to pursue
helping Atlantic Beach Elementary with funds for the track, as discussed by Mr. Cottrell earlier tonight. He
May 12,2014 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM# I A
JUNE 9, 2014
Page 9
stated they are asking for $14,500. Mr. VanLiere stated he will look through the General Fund budget to see
if there is anything we may not get to this year for funds he can repurpose. He stated if he is not able to do
that he will have to put in a mid-year budget modification and ask to have it funded that way. Discussion
ensued about easier access for citizens to the track.
E.K. Cottrell, 1656 Park Terrace East, Friends of Atlantic Beach Elementary, stated access is one of the
things they have talked about. He stated there is currently a sign at the two gates, which are normally locked
so vehicles can't enter, that advises of the public's right to the track after 5:00p.m. on weekdays or anytime
on the weekends. He stated the answer may be as simple as somehow designating that the entry gate is just
around the comer.
It was the consensus of the Commission to direct the City Manager to move forward with funding for
the track.
Mr. Van Liere stated they have a lot of parking issues at the beach and it has been suggested that there be no
parking allowed on Beach Ave. Mr. Carper explained the section of Beach Avenue they are talking about is
20ft. wide and is one-way traffic. He stated he doesn't see a hazard. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Hill
stated he believes the worst thing they could do would be to go after the existing access to the beach. He
stated if you are going to get in the way of people accessing the ocean for recreation, no matter where they
are from, it is not the right way to handle it. He stated part of our charm is that you can come to this
community and find a way to get down to the beach. He stated the real problem is we have homeowners who
put in 30ft. driveways and eat up spots and we have homeowners who put rocks and hedges, etc. that eat up
spots that were completely available for many years, so at some point we have to say let's leave some parking
for people to get to the beach. Chief Classey stated they have received a number of complaints over the last
two years but the complaints have been from the same resident over and over again. He stated they evaluated
it a number of times and there has not been the accident history that would manifest the danger that this
particular individual states there is. He stated this is a bigger issue than just this location. You cannot
imagine the number of complaints and requests they get to make places no parking the closer they get to the
beach. He stated they have had to come up with a very methodical and fact based system to evaluate those
because if it is made on an emotional decision or at a political level then what do they do the next time. He
stated they evaluate it by the various safety manual guidelines. He further stated this stretch of Beach A venue
is inherently different than the rest of it, if for no other reason than the sheer width. He stated 20 ft. wide is
pretty good for a road that is a one-way street. He stated we have two-way streets in the core City that are 15
ft. wide. He stated assuming the cars are parking legally, as required by both State statute and City ordinance,
you are leaving a good 12 ft. to go through for one-way traffic. Mayor Woods stated she believes Beach
Avenue is not like any other street we have in the City; it is a constant promenade of pedestrians and bicycles.
She stated they have said as a Commission that safety for pedestrians and bicycles is their primary concern.
Commissioner Beckenbach asked if this is an agenda item. Mr. VanLiere stated he was asking for direction
to come back and make it an agenda item or not make it an agenda item at the next meeting. Commissioner
Beckenbach stated they could have discussion at the workshop if someone wants to put it on the agenda.
Commissioner Daugherty stated he does not believe it is a pedestrian safety issue. Mayor Woods stated since
she is the only one concerned about this issue, they will move forward and don't need to belabor it anymore
but it is a safety concern.
Mr. Van Liere stated they will need a special called meeting before the next workshop for a grant application,
and an FDOT report that needs to be approved. He stated he will also be working on a mid-year budget
ordinance to clean up some of the items like the City Manager and City Attorney salaries, etc.

Complaint No. 14-022
PUBLIC REPORT AND ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAil'JT
On Friday, April 25, 2014, the Commission on Ethics met in executive session and
considered this complaint for legal sufficiency pursuant to Commission Rule 34-5.002, F.A.C.
The Commission's review was limited to questions of jurisdiction of the Commission and of the
adequacy of the details of the complaint to allege a violation of the Code of Ethics for Public
Officers and Employees. No factual investigation preceded the review, and therefore the
Commission's conclusions do not reflect on the accuracy of the allegations of the complaint.
The Commission voted to dismiss the complaint for legal insufficiency, based on the
following analysis:
1. This complaint was filed by John L. Fletcher of Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
2. The Respondent, Mark Beckenbach, allegedly serves as a City Commissioner and
Mayor Pro Tempore of the City of Atlantic Beach.
3. The complaint alleges that the Respondent voted, on December 9, 2013, to
terminate, without cause, the services of the long-serving City Manager and the long-serving
City Attorney, after stating that he had lost confidence in them; and that both were terminated by
a 3-2 vote. Further, the complaint alleges that the Respondent filed, as a lead plaintiff, a lawsuit
against a developer/property owner, seeking to quiet title (in himself and the other plaintiffs) to
AGENDA ITEM# lA
JUNE9, 2014
property, upon some of which the City holds an easement from the defendant
(developer/property owner) in the lawsuit and has placed sewer lines, and seeking money
damages. In addition, the complaint alleges that the suit does not name the City as a defendant;
but that the City, the developer/property owner, and an organization formed by the Respondent
and others were involved in a prior lawsuit challenging the developer/property owner's title to
the property, which resulted in a judgment (affirmed by the District Comt of Appeal) in favor of
the developer/property owner. Continuing, the complaint alleges that the City Attorney (later
terminated by the 3-2 vote) defended the City's interest in the prior litigation (due to the City's
interest in acquiring the easement/sewer pipes placement), and that the Respondent did not
disclose the existence of the new suit prior to his advocacy and vote for the terminations on
December 9. And, the complaint concludes that it was the Respondent's duty to disclose to the
City Commission and the public, prior to participating in debate over and voting for termination,
that he had filed suit challenging title to property which includes the City's easement; that the
two people (City Attorney and City Manager) with the most knowledge of the property's history
and prior litigation were "removed," thus benefiting the Respondent's private interests; and that
the Respondent "failed in his duty to be transparent before a critical vote that would have an
impact on his personal interests."
4. Within the Code of Ethics (Part III, Chapter 112, Florida Statutes), and relevant to
the complaint, are the following statutes:
VOTING CONFLICTS.-No county, municipal, or other local public
officer shall vote in an official capacity upon any measure which would inure to
his or her special private gain or loss; which he or she knows would inure to the
special private gain or loss of any principal by whom he or she is retained or to
the parent organization or subsidiary of a corporate principal by which he or she is
retained, other than an agency as defined in s. 112.312(2); or which he or she
knows would inure to the special private gain or loss of a relative or business
2
AGENDA ITEM# IA
JUNE 9, 2014
associate of the public officer. Such public officer shall, prior to the vote being
taken, publicly state to the assembly the nature of the officer's interest in the
matter from which he or she is abstaining from voting and, within 15 days after
the vote occurs, disclose the nature of his or her interest as a public record in a
memorandum filed with the person responsible for recording the minutes of the
meeting, who shall incorporate the memorandum in the minutes. [Section
112.3143(3)(a), Florida Statutes.]
MISUSE OF PUBLIC POSITION.-No public officer, employee of an
agency, or local government attorney shall corruptly use or attempt to use his or
her official position or any property or resource which may be within his or her
trust, or perform his or her official duties, to secure a special privilege, benefit, or
exemption for himself, herself, or others. This· section shall not be construed to
conflict with s. 104.31. [Section 112.313( 6), Florida Statutes.]
"Corruptly" means done with a wrongful intent and for the purpose of
obtaining, or compensating or receiving compensation for, any benefit resulting
from some act or omission of a public servant which is inconsistent with the
proper performance of his or her public duties. [Section 112.312(9), Florida
Statutes.]
CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT OR CONTRACTUAL
RELATIONSHIP.-No public officer or employee of an agency shall have or
hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity or any
agency which is subject to the regulation of, or is doing business with, an agency
of which he or she is an officer or employee ... ; nor shall an officer or employee
of an agency have or hold any employment or contractual relationship that will
create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his or her private
interests and the performance of his or her public duties or that would impede the
full and faithful discharge of his or her public duties. [Section 112.313(7)(a),
Florida Statutes.]
For the reasons particularized below, the complaint does not indicate a possible violation of any
of the relevant statutes.
5. As to Section 112.3143(3)(a), the voting conflicts law, it requires oral declaration,
abstention from voting, and the filing of a memorandum of voting conflict (CE Form 8B), but
only as to votes/measures which would inure to the special private gain or loss of the public
3
AGENDA ITEM# lA
JUNE 9, 2014
officer or to persons or entities connected to the officer as specified in the statute. And, in many
decisions, the Commission on Ethics has found that special private gain or loss is not present
where there is uncertainty at the time of the vote as to whether gain or loss would result from the
measure and what the nature or degree of the gain or loss might be. See, among others, CEOs
07-14 and 07-15 (city commissioner voting on lawsuit matters).1 Here, it is by no means certain
that termination of the City Attorney and the City Manager would affect the Respondent's
fortunes in the new lawsuit, especially since the City is not named in it as a defendant, since the
City Attorney presumably is not defending the suit, since other counsel presumably are
defending the suit for the developer/property owner, since other counsel and management can be
provided for the City, if need be, since both the City Attorney and the City Manager are
susceptible to participation and cooperation regarding the lawsuit (e.g., as information resources
or witnesses) despite their terminations, and since generic issues of title, issue preclusion (e.g.,
res judicata), and other factual or legal matters particular to the new litigation, rather than the
historical knowledge of the City Attorney and the City Manager, likely will have paramount
significance to the outcome of the case. Therefore, while it is apparent that the vote caused loss
to the City Attorney and the City Manager, there is no indication that special private gain or loss
would inure to the Respondent from the vote, such gain or loss being a necessary condition of his
having to declare, abstain, and file a memorandum of voting conflict?
1This recognition that where the gain or loss is remote or speculative there will be no special
private gain is now codified in the voting conflicts statute, itsel£ Section 112.3143(1), Florida
Statutes (2013); Chapter 2013-36, Laws ofFlorida.
2 We are aware of no law or other standard of conduct requiring "general disclosure" of the
Respondent's interests regarding the new lawsuit.
4
AGENDA ITEM# IA
JUNE 9, 2014
6. Regarding Section 112.313(6),3 it is not inconsistent with the proper performance
of public duty for a governing board member to be involved in discussion regarding, and to vote
on, the board's decision to terminate the engagement of persons providing services to the board
or the political subdivision headed by the board. Further, the complaint's assertion that the
terminations of the City Attorney and the City Manager were part of an effort on the part of the
Respondent to advantage his private interests merely is conclusory, lacking factual allegations
necessary to substantively indicate a possible violation of the statute. Also, it is not uncommon
for such personnel changes to occur in situations such as that of the complaint, where a
governing board undergoes a political "regime change," especially where, as in the instant
complaint, there is no indication that those allegedly terminated held any contract rights or merit
system retention rights in the positions. Additionally, Blackburn v. State. Commission on Ethics,
589 So. 2d 431 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), recognizes that a public officer's receiving a private benefit
from legitimate public duty performance (in the instant complaint, personnel
terminations/changes) will not render the officer's conduct violative of the statute.
7. Concerning Section 112.313(7)(a), an essential element necessary for a violation
is that one holds a conflicting employment or contractual relationship; and an allegation, such as
that of the complaint, that one is a plaintiff in a lawsuit does not, in and of itself, indicate the
existence of employment or a contractual relationship. Further, under the first part of the statute,
a real property title litigation dynamic is not indicative of the Respondent, or anyone else, being
"subject to the regulation of," or "doing business with," the City or the City Commission. Under
the second part of the statute, assuming arguendo that the Respondent holds some employment
3 Section 112.312(9), Florida Statutes, supplies the definition of "corruptly" applicable to Section
112.313(6). However, it does not, itself, establish a separate standard of conduct.

or contractual relationship, his being a plaintiff in a lawsuit, especially where the City is not a
defendant, is not indicative of a continuing or frequently recurring conflict or an impediment to
the full and faithful discharge of public duties. Fanizza v. State, Commission on Ethics, 927 So.
2d 23 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006).
Accordingly, this complaint is hereby dismissed for failure to constitute a legally
sufficient complaint with the issuance of this public report.

Public Works Director Rick Carper explained that at the February meeting the Commission approved
extending the contract and authorized the City Manager and him to meet with Advanced Disposal to
modify the contract as necessary. He summarized his staff report explaining the contract. He passed out
pamphlets of the new plastic dumpsters that will replace what they currently have, stating they are
quieter and don't rust. Mayor Woods asked if our commercial businesses recycle and was that a
consideration in this contract. Mr. Carper stated commercial recycling under State law is an open
market. He stated they can't require them to recycle; but the businesses are allowed to contract with
anyone they want if they want to recycle. Brad Gardner of Advanced Disposal answered questions from
the Commission. Mr. Carper stated the hauler will replace their entire primary collection fleet by the
end of 2018. He further stated, after the staff report was sent to the Commission, they received a five-
page letter from Bill Redman giving a summary of the contract explaining what our financial benefit is.
He stated he will make sure a copy gets to the Commission before the next meeting.
Item 8C was taken out of sequence and acted on at this time.

Subdivision Sewer Upgrade.
Mayor Woods read the consent agenda.
Commissioner Beckenbach asked about the 90-day calendar. Mr. VanLiere explained the calendar is
for staff to set the dates for the meetings they know they are going to have and any alternative meetings
they want to add to the basic calendar. He stated for each will be the topic, time, place and whether it is
to be recorded and the format for the meeting. He stated the 90-day calendar allows the Commission to
see what is coming in advance and being on every consent agenda they will have a chance to say
whether they can make a meeting. He stated what he is asking is that they come to the meeting with
their calendars and if someone wants to change a date, they will pull that item off the consent agenda,
make a motion to move or add a date, etc. He stated in the staff report each month they will have a
bullet list of the items added to the calendars. He stated this way they won't have the problems of
whether they are going to record the meetings, how the floor will be set up, etc. He stated he believes by
them adopting the calendar each month, it will solve these problems. Commissioner Beckenbach
suggested using the Google calendar. Mr. Van Liere stated they could use those tools to allow them to
put the calendar together but he believes it is also good for the public to see what is coming and it is very
easy to flip through these three pages and see what is coming.

Commissioner Hill questioned whether the contract with R&D was from the conversation they had
during the budget workshop about increasing it and does it reflect the increased number. Mr. Van Liere
stated this is for the current level of services. Mr. Carper explained this item is just for the existing
contract, covering the parks, Atlantic Blvd. and Mayport Road medians, the areas they currently
maintain. He stated he strongly recommends that we extend the contract; they are very responsive, do a
very good job, and we get a lot of compliments about our parks they maintain. He stated it is the same
price it has been for the last three years.
Commissioner Beckenbach asked about the extension for Purvis Gray. He stated he doesn't know what
the policy is as far as continuing with the same firm on a regular basis. He asked if after the two years,
would the City be required to go with another company. Mr. VanLiere explained they have to form an
audit selection committee and the existing auditor is able to partake. He stated there are two schools of
thought. One is if you change out then you get a new set of eyes, a fresh look from a different
perspective. He stated the alternative is, if you stay with the existing firm, they know your business
better than anyone; they have already been through your books, they know what looks normal and not
normal and if you want to insist that you have a fresh set of eyes, you can have the partner assign
different staff to it and accomplish the same thing. He stated some cities require that you rotate, others
see the value in keeping the same one. He explained the auditors don't just audit our books, they have a
lot of knowledge about our operation. He stated they know the history for so many years on how our
revenues are tracking and so they have a lot of insight when they look at the numbers and a new firm
would have to start from scratch. He stated when you bring in a new firm, it is a lot of extra work on the
staff. Commissioner Beckenbach asked, for a city that is looking at a change, is it a six-year period that
they would change out. Mr. Van Liere stated that seemed typical and they did four plus two, which is
typical, and that allowed them to change after four if the service wasn't what they desired. He stated
they have been excellent, so he sees no reason not to do the extra two. Commissioner Beckenbach asked
if, at the end of the two-year period, there will be an audit committee that will get together and then the
firm will be able to apply. Mr. VanLiere stated he is pretty sure the existing firm can participate in that,
but either way the committee will be formed and they will go through the process.
5. Committee Reports
Mayor Woods stated tomorrow night will be the inaugural meeting of the Charter Review Committee in
the Chamber at 5:00 p.m. She asked if it would be videotaped. City Attorney Komando stated he had
no issue with it just being audiotaped. He stated he anticipates there will be a good amount of very
helpful conversation that he believes the public would want to review. Mayor Woods asked if there
were any other rules or regulations concerning this committee they should be aware of. Mr. Komando
stated it is standard for any appointed board or commission where they are required to meet in the
sunshine. He stated they will need to appoint a Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary. He stated they will
discuss the different roles and keeping minutes and will also discuss the Sunshine Laws. Discussion
ensued. Commissioner Hill asked if the Commission can sit in on the meetings. Mr. Komando stated he
believes they can but the statute forbids them from participating because the recommendations from the
committee will come back before the Commission. He stated he would advise against discussing any of
the matters. Mayor Woods asked if that includes private discussions with anyone on the committee; is
she allowed to call up anyone and say, hey, have you guys considered this; are they allowed to make
comments like that. Mr. Komando stated, no, discussing something with the committee is open to the
Sunshine, because it is some business that will come before the Commission at a later time. Mayor

observers.
6. Action on Resolutions
A. RESOLUTION NO. 14-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH RENAMING DONNER PARK
COMMUNITY CENTER IN ATLANTIC BEACH THE "GAIL BAKER COMMUNITY CENTER".
Mayor Woods read the resolution by title, stating the ceremony will be held May 13 at 4:00p.m.
7. Action on Ordinances
A. Ordinance No. 5-14-61, Introduction and First Reading
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2
OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, ADMINISTRATION, ARTICLE II, CITY COMMISSION, SEC.
2-16, TIME AND PLACE OF REGULAR MEETINGS, TO PROVIDE FOR TWO (2) REGULAR
MEETINGS PER MONTH EXCEPT FOR DECEMBER, CHANGING THE TIME TO 6:00 PM, AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayor Woods read Ordinance No. 5-14-61 by title.
City Manager Van Liere summarized his staff report and explained his proposals for a solution related to
the ordinance.
Commissioner Hill stated he had no problem with 99% of this but would like to see the meeting go to
7:00 p.m. instead of 6:00 p.m., explaining his reasons. Mr. Van Liere stated if Commissioner Hill
believes he is doing staff a favor by making it go to 7:00 p.m., they would rather grab a quick bite, get
the meeting over with and get back to their families. He stated he believes they would rather get home
earlier in the evenings because they have to go to work at 8:00 a.m. the next morning. Mayor Woods
stated, also, the Commission has control over the order of the agenda so if they know there is an item
that people would want to be there for, they could hold it until later in the meeting.
Mr. Van Liere answered questions from the Commission about the proposed new deadlines/scheduling
for the agenda. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Mark stated it doesn't matter to her either way and she does understand the stress on
staff.
Commissioner Beckenbach stated when they talked about this previously, staff said they could not give
the amount of time prior; or they would not have gone to a workshop. He stated they were trying to get
the agenda packet on the Tuesday before the meeting and he was told it would be very difficult to have it
on Tuesday and now Mr. VanLiere is saying that it is not going to be only Tuesday, it will be at least
the Thursday before. He stated his concern is the citizenry is really who is the most important along
with what the Commission has to review. He stated he hears what Mr. VanLiere is saying but he is not
sure if he understands how he is going to work this or if it is realistic. Mr. Van Liere stated he has
talked with the people who do the reports and a lot with Donna Bartle and they believe they can do this
and that it will be an improvement to have that information out there earlier. Commissioner Beckenbach
stated, from his standpoint, he wants to make sure they have that exposure and that they do get the

agenda at least ten days before and that it won't start slipping to the point that they get it on that
Thursday or Friday before the meeting, without exposure to the citizenry, and they go back to the same
thing.
Further discussion ensued.
Commissioner Hill reiterated he would not mind trying this. He stated he watched the other system for
many years work real well, then he saw the changes and saw the advantage to that. He stated he
believes this hybrid of it, where they can plug in a workshop, might be a solution that hasn't existed.
Mayor Woods clarified, currently, if the Commission meeting is going to be on a Monday, then the
agenda items are due two Fridays before that Monday meeting and then the agenda would be put
together on Monday and supposedly they would get it on Tuesday or Wednesday. She stated now for a
meeting to be on a Monday, then the due date for agenda items would be three Fridays before the
meeting date, instead of two Fridays before. She stated then staff would start putting it together on
Monday and the goal would be to get it out on Wednesday. Mr. Van Liere stated it could be anywhere
from Wednesday to Friday. Ms. Bartle stated she would hope that staff already knows what they are
planning to put on the agenda back at that 3rd Friday to meet that deadline and that they would only fall
back on adding more stuff if there was something that was of an emergency that had to come up on that
next meeting or if something comes out of the Commission meeting and one of the Commissioners feel
like they need to put something on that very next meeting. She stated then she would have to have a
new deadline for something like that to be added, otherwise, she would just want to go ahead and finish
that agenda. She stated she would like to hear that by Tuesday that they would at least need to tell her
that they are working on something and would be able to give it to her by Wednesday. She stated
otherwise she will just go with the agenda and assume nothing is coming in new. Mayor Woods stated
right now it is three Fridays before the meeting, unless special circumstances come up at the
Commission meeting and they can address it at that point. She stated then they aim for having the
agenda out on the Wednesday. Ms. Bartle stated one reason she thought about the Friday was in case
they did need more time to get something out and also if they were able to prepare the minutes and get
them in the packet. She stated if minutes are not a concern for them, they will at least be able to go in
two weeks later, which is better than what it is now. Mayor Woods stated they can aim for Wednesday
and see how it works and if extenuating circumstances keep coming up and it is always Thursday or
Friday then they can address that at that time. She stated she likes having those two days to think about
it and make phone calls immediately when you see it, because if you get it on Friday and read it and then
come Monday you forget some of those immediate questions. She asked if everyone is OK with this.
Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Beckenbach stated it sounds as though there is a consensus to go ahead and attempt to
work with it. He stated he, personally, doesn't really mind what they are doing now. He believes this is
the first time they have had a small agenda that has actually worked relatively welL He stated he
believes they are moving along in the right way right now and would like to continue to do it, but if it
turns out that he is in the minority then he will work with the Commission in any way.
Commissioner Hill stated staff hasn't asked them for much, there has been a lot of change and a lot of
new ground covered by staff and there has been a lot of stress on them. He stated he wouldn't mind
giving them the leeway to try it. He stated they can certainly go back immediately if it created a
Minutes -City Commission Workshop

dilemma, but he wouldn't mind giving it a shot. He stated there were some other things that were done
that were long overdue that seemed to have really had an immediate effect and this might be one of
those things.
Mayor Woods asked if the Commissioners had any comments about the 6:00 start time. Commissioner
Mark stated she supports changing it to 6:00 p.m. Commissioner Hill stated he will go with what
everybody else feels. Commissioner Becken bach stated he understands that staff is here for a full day.
Mayor Woods stated if they change it to 6:00p.m., as she stated previously, they can adjust the agenda
so if there is an important issue they can wait until 7:00 or 7:30 until people have a chance to show up
before they discuss it. Commissioner Beckenbach stated it usually ends up being 6:15 after the minutes,
etc. anyway, and they can move important things to the back. He stated it is fine, he is not going to
make it a big deal. Mayor Woods stated so it sounds like 6:00p.m. Commissioner Hill asked if they
can ask Commissioner Daugherty at the next meeting since it is coming up for discussion one more
time. Mr. Van Liere asked the City Attorney if they fiddle with the time between the two readings, is
that a material change that would cause it to have to go back to first reading. Mr. Komando stated no.

Casa Marina. She stated it has been tradition that the elected officials try to get donations for door

prizes to be given away at the end of the dinner. She stated it would be great if they had 100%
participation, including the City Attorney, City Manager and City Clerk.
Reported the Beaches Watch meeting on May 7 at 7:00p.m. will have a report from the Consolidated
Task Force put together by Bill Gulliford.
She stated they did not have any next step for the HRO after the last workshop, so she will bring that up
at the next meeting to discuss. She stated she is hoping that they will be close to having some kind of
ordinance to introduce very soon and will discuss it with Mr. Komando. She believes they are getting
closer to finalizing the language for that ordinance and wants to continue to move that forward. Mayor
Woods asked if she has a date in mind for when they get to the calendar item. She suggested either she
or the City Manager email it out to everyone and he can get it on that calendar. Mr. Van Liere stated
since they haven't started this process yet, they don't have all of the Commissioners' availabilities
loaded up into anything so they will have to do the best they can one more time to get this calendar thing
working. He asked that they get with Yvonne Calverley.
Commissioner Hill
Asked, because of the nature of the HRO and that they keep getting conflicting responses from what
appear to be very qualified experts on both sides of the issue, is there a mechanism in place where they
could plug in the two leading speakers, the one who provided the legal background for Equality Florida
and the attorney, Roger Gannam, who provided some of the constitutional questions. He stated he wants
to hear from both of them again before they go too much further with this because, if anything, the
federal question was muddied more during the last workshop. He stated it is definitely not a clear issue
and he keeps getting more information from both sides. He stated they are both truly experts and both
have a strong opinion and asked if there would be the possibility during one more workshop for the
Commission to hear from both of them again. Mayor Woods stated she thinks if they had some specific
questions or something. Commissioner Hill stated he had questions for both sides but there was no
mechanism to ask them during the last proceeding we had. Commissioner Mark stated she believes,
particularly for Commissioner Hill's benefit, that he should write down what his questions are so they
can be addressed. She stated she believes it would be helpful for the entire Commission and Mr.
Komando, if he could write his questions down and send them to Mr. Komando ahead of time. Mr.
Komando stated he is also welcome to contact either of the experts on his own. Commissioner Hill
stated he was being kind on the confusion part; he believes some of the confusion is in general and, to be
honest, the question is a constitutional issue. He stated he is not confused at all about it; he clearly
understands it. He stated he just wants more. He stated he doesn't want to go hours and let both people
have the floor for an hour at a time. Commissioner Mark stated if he is doing this mainly as a public
gesture and truly already knows the answers to his questions, that is one thing. She stated if he really
doesn't know the answers or doesn't have clarity on those answers, then that is another thing.
Commissioner Hill stated a fair approach would be to give equal time to both issues. He stated it just
seemed kind of wasteful to have both those really qualified experts in the room and have one minute
from each of them on such an important issue. Commissioner Mark stated again, if he has specific
questions or areas that he wants clarified, either for the benefit of the public or for the benefit of you or
the Commission, for expediency she would strongly suggest that he have them in writing and send them
to the two so they can have time to prepare, including Mr. Komando since he is the one who will be
ultimately drafting the ordinance. Commissioner Hill stated, as much as he appreciates that, he is
probably not going to write them; he will do them in an open format because he doesn't want to leave
something out that develops during the meeting. Mayor Woods stated it does help to give staff and the
Minutes-City Commission Workshop

AGENDA ITEM# IB
JUNE 9, 2014
April28, 2014
experts time to gather their information rather that pulling it out of their hip, so any specific questions he
could have written down would be good and as the conversation develops, it develops. Commissioner
Hill stated he understands, as long as he is not limiting the process.
Mayor Woods
Related to the dinner/meeting for Florida League of Cities, she wanted to let anyone out there with a
business know if they want to donate something for a door prize, please just bring it to City Hall or give
any of the Commissioners a call. She stated this is good exposure for your company.
COURTESY OF THE FLOOR TO VISITORS
Chris Jorgensen, 92 W 3rd Street, stated time and money spent on the HRO is not justification to
continue.
Mayor Woods stated she believes everyone on the Commission was able to meet today with the search
firm looking for the City Manager. She stated she asked Mr. Baenziger what the next step was and he
said they will create a beautiful brochure and put out an RFP. She stated she just wanted to let everyone
know the process is moving right along. Commissioner Mark stated he will also meet with staff next
week.
Adjournment
There being no further discussion by the City Commission, Mayor Woods declared the meeting

Base Line Budget
1. Introduction and Opening Remarks:
City Manager Nelson VanLiere summarized how this Pre-budget meeting will be different from previous
Strategic Planning meetings. He stated this meeting will be for development of the 2015 Operating Budget.
A. Budget Calendar
Mr. VanLiere explained the Department Heads are to be finished with their budget inputs to him at the end
of this month; therefore, this truly is pre-budget, as he doesn't have a budget to talk about because he is
going to get direction from the Commission as to what they want to see in the budget. He further explained
the budget calendar, stating the budget workshops will be held in August. He asked that the Commission let
Yvonne Calverley know of any times they will not be available.
2. Budget Assumptions and Guidelines
A. Budget Policy
Mr. Van Liere explained the General Fund and balancing the budget. He answered questions from the
Commission.
3. Operating Revenues
A. Taxes
Mr. Van Liere stated one of the things he wants to get from the Commission tonight was if they have ideas
about things they want to do that are going to require additional revenues, are they willing to raise taxes to
fund anything or is their directive to have the same millage rate, make it work no matter what. He stated
that will determine how he will prepare the budget.
B. User fees
Mr. Van Liere stated he is going to make every effort to propose a budget that has no increase in water rates,
sewer rates, storm water rates and sanitation rates. He stated his goal is to fund all of the existing operations
with no rate increases, explaining how he proposes to do this.
Minutes-City Commission Workshop
Page 2
AGENDA ITEM# JC
JUNE 9, 2014
April 23, 2014
He stated they may see an increase for the water and sewer revenues because of system development
charges for some of the new developments that might tie in.
C. State Revenues
Mr. Van Liere explained the sales taxes, cigarette taxes, etc. have been very flat year to year and he doesn't
expect to see much there. He stated if they can budget in the way to create some savings in the water and
sewer fund, they may be able to transfer more to the general fund. He stated they can work with the gas tax
fund again. He stated that revenue has not changed much year to year. He stated they have projected out
the ten-year capital expenditures realizing that those are not changing that much.
He further explained when people talk about a balanced budget, what that means is you take the beginning
cash and all of your revenues and add those together and they need to equal your ending cash and your
expenses. He stated within that they want to balance the operating revenues with the operating expenses.
He stated the fund balances are very healthy; the 25% reserve will continue to be kept in tact. He answered
questions from the Commission.
I>. CJrants
Mr. Van Liere stated they will take advantage of whatever grant resources they have and match them up
with whatever program they find money for.
4. Operating Expenses
A. Pay and Benefits
Mr. VanLiere stated we have had a lot of turnover this year and some that they know will happen next year.
He stated he can project out the salaries and help compensate some increasing costs in other areas by those
changes. He stated Human Resources I>irector Cathy Berry talked to our health insurance carrier and said
to plan on a 20% increase, which will be approximately $160,000. I>iscussion ensued and he answered
questions from the Commission.
He stated they will try to budget a 3% merit increase. He stated in the past, budgets have been proposed
without wages in them, leaving it up to the Commission to decide what it should be. He stated he is going
to propose upfront an increase and work it into the numbers so they don't have to try to figure out in the
workshops later how to squeeze in that extra percent or whatever. He stated the employees went a long time
without an increase and it will help move them through the pay plan. He stated they just tried to eliminate
some of the compression in the pay plan and if they keep going back to not doing anything they will just
recreate the problem again. He answered questions from the Commission.
B. Operating Expenses
He stated a lot of the budget is already set in stone. He stated fire services, landscaping, maintenance, etc.
roll year to year with not much change; the fire contract has a built-in increase in it. He stated the sanitation
contract will be a big contract and they also have professional services and chemicals. He answered
questions from the Commission.
C. Capital
He stated this is generally where the Commission has spent more time talking about what they want to see
done; however, the water and sewer master plan and stormwater master plan are a large part of the budget
that is pretty much programmed out into the future. He stated street resurfacing and sidewalks are things the
Commission typically debates as to where they want to have them done. He stated Rick Carper has a
Minutes-City Commission Workshop

pavement management system and can tell them what the next streets on the list will be for next year. He
stated he annually reviews those ratings.
D. Debt
He stated they are looking to refinance our utility debt which will lower their cost for water, sewer and
stormwater over the next 20 years by $1.4 million or approximately $125,000/year split between water,
sewer and stormwater. He stated that kind of savings allows them to work on the health insurance.
E. Transfers
He stated he usually balances those out with what is available.
5. Cash Balances
A. Restricted and Unrestricted Balances
He stated these are things that are ongoing, have been talked about recently, or are already in the strategic
plan. He stated some of these items will just be a lot of staff time. He discussed each item below as they
affect the budget.
Items needing special attention:
Charter Review Committee
Tum over
Phone System
Cultural Arts and Recreation
ROW Maintenance
Beautification
Sanitation
Annexation
Town Center Parking
Police Building
Beach Renourishment
Organizational Chart
Citywide Software
Pension
Facility Maintenance
Paving and Sidewalks
Park Maintenance
Tipping Fees
Marsh Master Plan
Mayport Corridor
Pedestrian Safety
Reuse System
Discussion ensued regarding tumover issues. Mr. VanLiere explained the various upcoming vacancies and
current positions that they are proposing to combine. He stated they have funded the community application
this year with One Solution, which will be phased in, and are looking at a new digital phone system.
He stated they spent a lot of time last year discussing pension benefits and trying to make the City's liability
come down. He stated he believes they have done enough on the pension for now, for the sake of the
employees. He stated he did authorize an impact study on a 30 and out provision to contemplate what that
would do. He explained this provision to the Commission. He stated the study indicated that would be
pretty expensive but they have closed the plan so the number of people this option would become available
to was 13 or 14 employees and you have to take into account that not everyone would exercise that option.
He stated the cost was about $95,000 the first year down to $75,000 after that for about 10 years, so over a
10 year period it would be $700,000-$800,000 to do that. He stated it is a common benefit to have in your
pension plan but until they asked the question about cost they didn't know.
Mr. VanLiere stated they currently have a budget of $23,000 for special events through the Cultural Arts
and Recreation Advisory Committee and including that with the events that are in Timmy Johnson's budget
and the supplies, rentals, etc., they are spending about $60,000 on events. He stated if they want to add
events, that will be a level of service change. Discussion ensued and Mr. Van Liere and Mr. Johnson
answered questions from the Commission. The Commission further discussed several other issues including
Minutes-City Commission Workshop
Page4
AGENDA ITEM# JC
JUNE 9, 2014
April23, 2014
keeping lifeguards on for a longer period/or for special events, adding more events at the parks, possibly
increasing the budget for Cultural Arts and Recreation Advisory Committee and the possibility of permitting
food trucks at Tideviews and Dutton Island.
Mr. VanLiere reported on Facility Maintenance, ROW Maintenance, Beautification and Park Maintenance,
stating they were doing really good 6-7 years ago but they have systematically chipped away by reducing
staff, reducing supplies, mowing less often, no flowers, etc. He stated he would like to see it come back to
how it was when he carne to work here. Commissioner Mark stated if they go back to that, she would like
to see them use native plants for the foundation of the landscape, more groundcover, xeriscaping, etc.
Discussion ensued regarding purple pipe and reuse water. Mr. Van Liere stated he would like to increase
the budget to either hire additional maintenance workers or a contractor to maintain the various areas. Mr.
Carper stated there are three areas he would like to focus on: the five-way; Seminole and Atlantic; and
Mayport Rd. at the Welcome Sign. Mr. Van Liere stated his goal is to find other areas in the general fund to
cut in order to afford these things that are corning back up in importance. Mayor Woods stated he has
support for this type of thing and directed him to show them how they can make it happen.
Mr. VanLiere discussed Facility Maintenance, stating they don't have a plan other than a spreadsheet with a
rolling list of items that need repair. He stated to his knowledge there is not a facility maintenance plan. He
stated they have one and a half maintenance workers who fix things and a painter. He stated he would like
to create a maintenance division with two of those employees, the full maintenance position and the painter,
and put them under Mike Jones, our Building Inspector, and let him run a facility maintenance division with
a schedule and a budget to take care of our buildings. He explained most of the budget would come from
the budgets they are in now.
He addressed paving and sidewalks, stating they have a priority list for those. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Van Liere stated he spoke with the City Attorney regarding annexation and he stated he is waiting on
Jacksonville to come back to him. He stated he encouraged Mr. Kornando to draft something and get that
ball rolling.
Related to Town Center parking, he is not sure how much they can do in that area but they will take
advantage of any opportunities that come their way during the budget year. Mayor Woods stated she
believes the Town Center Agency has taken this issue under their wing and believes they should allow them
to take care of it. She stated they have a few different members on their board and they are taking it upon
themselves to solve their own problem they have created. She stated until they come to us with a real solid
plan to consider, she doesn't believe it is our issue.
Mr. VanLiere stated, regarding the Mayport Corridor, he believes the best thing we can do is maintain what
the City owns and encourage and facilitate in any way they can a good environment for the businesses. He
stated Redevelopment and Zoning Coordinator Jeremy Hubsch is tasked with moving forward with that but
he just got fully staffed Monday. Mr. Hubsch explained what he is working on. Discussion ensued. Mayor
Woods stated she believes the next step should be that we send a letter to Governor Rick Scott, because he
is all about helping small businesses, and let him know what we are trying to do. She stated the basic
problem is that the DOT has a certain amount of their budget, approximately 2%, that they must spend on
landscaping; but the definition of landscaping does not include hardscape. She stated for urban
environments like ours, it doesn't help. She stated she would like to draft a letter to the Governor asking
that he help DOT change their language. She stated she would also like to get members of the Duval
Delegation to sign that letter with us, so we could have help with the hardscaping. Commissioner
Daugherty stated we can't rely on the State alone to change Mayport; we have to make a serious investment
there ourselves. He believes we need to commit a dollar amount in the budget for Mayport Road. Further
Minutes-City Commission Workshop

AGENDA ITEM# IC

April23, 2014
discussion ensued. (Commissioner Mark left the meeting at 7:16 p.m.) Commissioner Hill stated he
believes the issue is whether we can do anything about the traffic flow; because none of the businesses are
going to make it with one direction of traffic. He stated more openings in the divided road need to be
created. He further stated they need to look at the pedestrian crossing situation and ask the DOT to address
that. Commissioner Beckenbach stated he doesn't want to spend money on something until they see what
they come back with from the business community, the neighborhood and the DOT. He stated the DOT is
the most important thing to him, as well. Further discussion ensued and Rick Carper answered questions
from the Commission.
Mr. Van Liere stated he and Mr. Carper attended a meeting related to beach renourishment which will
happen in 2016.
He stated they will have reuse rates implemented this year so there will be some revenue coming out of that.
Public Utilities Director Donna Kaluzniak gave an update on the status of the reuse system. Discussion
ensued.
Mr. VanLiere stated the following are items that aren't ongoing but are of interest to him since he has been
in this job.
Items of specific Interest:
Park Improvements
Public Works Yard
Public Information I Public Relations Officer
Emergency Preparedness
Access to Hanna Park
Tree Ordinance
Welcome Signs
Atlantic Beach is Special
Community Visioning
Mr. VanLiere stated one of the first things he did was walk around Russell Park with ABAA and Public
Works and there are a number of things in the park that have been let go, i.e. fencing, drainage is bad, the
field conditions, the concession stand, bathrooms, basketball court, security lighting, wind screens, safety
netting, etc. He stated he has approved some maintenance money that was available from other things in
Mr. Carper's budget to fix a few things but he wants to get the Commission's support for a Russell Park
renovation project. He stated if they call it a renovation project and phase it, they turn some of that long
past due maintenance into capital improvements. He and Mr. Carper explained in detail what they want to
complete. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Van Liere further discussed the appearance of the Public Works Yard stating we look like the junk yard.
He stated we are not setting a very good example for the community on how we should take care of our
stuff. He stated he would like to see the facility scraped, some storage buildings put in, roll-up doors,
paved, and get all the equipment under a roof. He stated we need to act like we want to take care of it.
Discussion ensued.
Mr. VanLiere stated emergency preparedness is not a budget item but he believes it is a staff time item that
we need to spend more time on. He stated they have never formally trained as a departmental group on how
they will handle things and wants them to spend time on that this year.
Mr. Van Liere discussed the issue of access on Seminole Road to Hanna Park. Commissioner Daugherty
stated this was something he asked to be on the agenda. He stated it would be a huge amenity for the north
end of Atlantic Beach to have a pedestrian-only access gate to get into Hanna Park. He stated they have
received approval in the past from Hanna Park to do something like that. He stated it would vastly improve
Minutes-City Commission Workshop
Page6
AGENDA ITEM# IC
JUNE 9, 2014
April 23, 2014
the park access for our citizens on that end of Atlantic Beach. He stated it could tie in to the Safe Routes to
School pedestrian path going up Seminole Road in 2017. He stated it also could tie into the federally
funded bike path down Seminole. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Van Liere asked if the Commission wants to revisit the Tree Ordinance. Commissioner Beckenbach
stated the tree canopy is getting older and we need to continue to replant trees. He stated he would not want
a tree board but more of a beautification or long vision board for growth. Discussion ensued about
underground utilities. Commissioner Hill stated they might look at a program that assists homeowners in
getting trees back into their yards. He stated he would like to make the community tree-friendly in the sense
that the homeowners who appreciate the trees they have will have the option, if they lose a tree, to have the
City assist them in getting a large tree back. Mayor Woods stated one of the most effective ways to get
people to put trees in is to have a robust Arbor Day event. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Carper stated the welcome signs are ready and they are waiting on the DOT permit. He stated they are
trying to iron out the glitch of whether he has the authority to sign the DOT permit for the City. He stated
otherwise he has to come back with a resolution.
Mayor Woods discussed the Atlantic Beach is Special program. She would like to see the City give them
$5,000 or so to show them we support the program ifthey can get it up and going. She stated it would not
be our program, we would just support it. Discussion about the funding ensued.
Mr. Van Liere stated every year we have the conversation about whether or not we are going to contribute to
the fireworks. He stated he believes the contribution is $5,000 and if they don't put it in the budget they
would need to fund it later or say no.
Mr. Van Liere asked if the Commission would want to sell the property where Buccaneer plant used to sit.
Public Utilities Director Donna Kaluzniak stated it is about 3 acres and is zoned commercial general.
Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Hill stated he would like to add to the budget the process of adding signage and required
traffic control elements and to adopt a cart-friendly policy for our City.
Related to the Community Visioning item, Mr. Van Liere stated to go through the process to do a formal
strategic planning visioning mission would take about 18 months. He stated it would need to be updated on
a regular basis, need community involvement and consultants. He asked if the Commission wants staff to
put together an outline of such a program that would take them through the process to see if it is what they
have in mind. He stated they want to use staff as much as possible to knock out what they can.
Commissioner Hill stated a visioning process would be really important for a community that is looking to
make changes but he believes that is the exact opposite of what our community is. He stated he believes
they are really looking to stabilize what they know is right and add smaller bites of little things that might
make it better. Mr. VanLiere stated we may just need to document what we have and just focus on the
things that need improvement.

the Commission. He stated the first is for the exemption and the general comments he has received are
whether or not to add the business exemption and whether or not to add a real estate exemption. He
further asked should all businesses be exempted fi·om the application of the ordinance. He stated the
secondary proposal was whether or not businesses with 15 or fewer employees should be exempted, a
number which was brought forward because the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
does provide a level of protection under Federal regulations for EEOC compliant organizations. He
stated the second question was, because ofthe way some of the housing ordinances were written, the
proposal he received was should they exempt individuals who rent out four or fewer units from the
application of the discriminatory practice. He stated that would mean anyone who has five or more is
really in the business of renting properties and would be subject to the provisions. He asked whether the
Commission wants to discuss these one at a time or would they like a broad overview on all four areas.
Commissioner Hill stated he believes they should look at the bigger picture. He stated he does not
believe this Ordinance serves our citizens in the way they intended and believes the concept is good but
they have gotten into an issue that is well beyond their means. He stated he would like to discuss
whether there is another means to accomplish what they are trying to do and let the citizens know that
they are sensitive to the possibility that discrimination may exist. He stated is there any avenue other
than making a law that is unenforceable outside our jurisdiction and creating the dilemma that that law is

clearly going to generate litigation that they will be involved in as a City and that our businesses are
going to be involved in. He stated he doesn't understand why they are discussing this; after every turn
of the page they discover why they shouldn't be doing it and they keep marching on like it is a good idea
and he really thinks they might want to switch gears and come up with a better way to provide what it is.
Mayor Woods asked if he had a suggestion for a better way. Commissioner Hill stated he believes they
should let the Federal law that currently exists do what it does and if someone has an issue with a
discrimination case in Atlantic Beach they can take it through the process that exists currently. He
stated the word sex is clearly defined and if sexual discrimination doesn't apply, what does. Mayor
Woods asked if the Federal law already takes care of this, why is there a movement for people coming
forward wanting these kinds of laws. She stated obviously there is something missing in whatever is at
the Federal or State level. She stated ifthere is a movement at the State level to bring this legislation up,
then there is something that is not being covered at the Federal level.
Commissioner Daugherty stated he has had discussions with proponents of this ordinance and they told
him they are not having luck at the State or Federal level so what they need to do is get ordinances at the
City level so they can convince the State level that they need something done. He stated basically they
are using us to do activism. Mayor Woods stated that is pretty much how things get done in democracy.
Commissioner Mark stated if these protections were already in place they wouldn't be having this
conversation. She stated the definition of sex under the State and Federal laws does not cover the LGBT
community; it only covers whether a male has been discriminated against as a male or whether a female
has been discriminated against as a female. Discussion ensued.
Commissioner Mark stated Mr. Komando had done a great job in looking at this and at the way other
ordinances have been enforced and are being enforced and believes if they ever get to that portion of this
workshop then they can talk about that. She stated they are already making assumptions and jumping to
conclusions before they have had a fair chance to really discuss it and are shooting this down based on
their perceptions without the Commission even discussing it yet. She stated if they believe, as an
elected official, that it is not part of their duty to represent the citizens and to support legislation that
gives citizens a fair quality of life here, then she is not sure why they are here, because that is where
most of these laws have been enacted, from the grassroots up.
Mayor Woods stated she knows there are a lot of people in this community that this affects. She stated
it is our duty and responsibility to create a fair and equitable lifestyle for everybody in our community.
She stated by just categorically saying no, this is over our head, they are shutting a lot of people out.
Further discussion ensued.
Commissioner Beckenbach asked the City Attorney to give an opinion regarding frivolous lawsuits and
what would be considered frivolous at this time.
Mr. Komando stated a concern early on by those on the Commission was if someone created an
allegation that wasn't supported by evidence or didn't really occur. He explained because of that the
ordinance, as drafted currently, has a provision that allows someone to basically recover all of their fees
and costs for defending a frivolous suit under Chapter 57 of the Florida Statutes. Commissioner
Becken bach stated his concern, more than anything else, is for the business community. He stated as far
as rentals are concerned, to discriminate against anyone for a rental or to purchase a piece of property, or
a loan for a piece of property to him there should be no discrimination. He stated his major concern is
Minutes-City Commission Workshop

AGENDA ITEM# lD

April22, 2014
for the small business, i.e. especially as related to transgenders. He stated he would like them to come
up with some wording that the small businesses would not be sued frivolously. Mayor Woods asked if
he would be comfortable with, as the City Attorney suggested, having an exemption from the entire
ordinance for businesses with 15 or fewer employees. Commissioner Beckenbach stated that would
move him more toward an agreement.
Discussion ensued over whether the Commission believes there is discrimination against the LGBT
community in Atlantic Beach.
Answering the question of whether the existing Federal laws regarding sexual discrimination are being
used to address some ofthese issues, Mr. Komando stated he is not aware of where an LGBT individual
is able to use the sexual discrimination portions of Federal law to claim protection, successfully. He
stated there is some protection under the EEOC guidelines. He stated there are two recent rulings that
have expanded the definition of discrimination to include sexual orientation as well as gender identity
and gender expression so there is the protection on that level that he is aware of, but there may be some
other attempt to use sexual discrimination as a basis or claim for protection that he is not aware of. He
further explained rulings guide the U.S. court system; statutes are to provide the general guidance and
codification, however the interpretations of those codes or statutes or Federal regulations oftentimes
provide authority and support, so a ruling is a form of law depending on what your particular
circumstances are. He reiterated under sexual orientation there is protection by the EEOC via those two
rulings. Mayor Woods asked if all of the businesses in Atlantic Beach are under the EEOC. Mr.
Komando stated no; governments are required to be protected, generally businesses with 15+
employees, restaurants with 20+ employees, and some huge corporations that have satellite offices or
retail locations in Atlantic Beach are generally part of EEOC. He stated there is not a requirement of all
small businesses to remain EEOC compliant.
Mayor Woods reiterated that any business with more than 15 employees is covered under Federal
statutes. Mr. Komando stated, yes, he believes they have the ability to file an employment
discrimination claim under the EEOC. Mayor Woods stated that covers gender identity or expression,
and sexual orientation. Mr. Komando stated that is the only context that has been brought to his
attention. Mayor Woods asked if there is anything else this ordinance would cover. Mr. Koman do
stated it covered race, color, religion, sex, national origin and then included sexual orientation, gender
identity or expression.
Mayor Woods asked if there are Federal or State discriminatory laws that protect people against
discrimination in housing. Mr. Komando stated not the way they are discussing it here. He stated that is
subject to interpretation; there are some people who claim Federal regulations do provide housing
protection. He stated the Fair Housing Act prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, disability and familial status, but it doesn't specifically include sexual
orientation and gender identity as a prohibitive basis. He stated HUD implemented a policy to ensure
that its core programs are open to all eligible individuals and families regardless of sexual orientation,
gender identity or marital status. Discussion ensued. Mr. Komando stated the courts are split about
whether or not a complaint based upon sexual discrimination protects sexual orientation. He stated
currently the split of protected activity of Title 7 is that the 9th Circuit Court and District Courts within
the 2nd Circuit have found that the action is protected, which the 6th and ih Circuits disagree. Further
discussion ensued. Mr. Komando explained Title 7. Commissioner Beckenbach stated, as far as the
strength of the law they are talking about with the EEOC that was for the business. He stated the
Minutes-City Commission Workshop
Page4
AGENDA ITEM# 10
JUNE 9, 2014
April22, 2014
business community already has it from 16 on up and 15 and below they are looking at giving an
exemption so that might not be needed at this time. He stated as far as the rentals, sale of homes, etc. it
says as far as HUD is concerned this rule follows a January 24, 2011 proposed rule which noted
evidence suggesting that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and families are being
arbitrarily excluded from housing opportunities in the private sector. He stated the Federal government
is working for the betterment of the citizens to a certain extent but if they can't pass Senate Bill 348 and
House Bill 239 in Florida maybe they need to give them a push. He stated they did send a Resolution
stating we were in agreement with it. He stated if the State of Florida doesn't have a law to prevent
discrimination then maybe they should consider that for housing, rentals, loans, etc. Commissioner Hill
asked the City Attorney why has the State not done this, if it is so cut and dried. Mr. Komando stated
his understanding is that there is just not the support for it right now.
Commissioner Daugherty suggested drafting a letter to the State saying we support legislation on this
issue. He stated he doesn't know why everybody is so bound and determined to have an Atlantic Beach
law saying this and are willing to accept whatever watered down version they can get just to say Atlantic
Beach has a law. He stated he doesn't want to use this dais as a means of activism. He stated he
believes he is being used by a lobbying group to promote a larger agenda on a State level. He stated this
is something that should happen, but not in Atlantic Beach.
Mayor Woods stated she believes what she heard Commissioner Daugherty say was that the community
supports this, he supports not being discriminatory, everybody in the room supports not being
discriminatory. She stated if the community supports this, why should they, as a Commission and as a
community, not put it in writing; have the strength to say yes, this is who we are and this is the way we
want the community to be. She asked what is so wrong with that. Commissioner Hill stated that would
be like saying Atlantic Beach is going to provide the only free parking to the beach; what do they think
would happen. He stated there is going to be a hoard of people coming only to Atlantic Beach. He
stated you are opening the flood gates to the small percentage of people who are going to be targeting
communities with open, easy picking litigation points. Mayor Woods stated she finds that as a
discriminatory accusation that Commissioner Hill thinks people are going to rush into Atlantic Beach to
start suing just because they are gay, lesbian and transgender.
Mayor Woods recapped that they have vetted that, on the Federal level, there are some protections
available for employment in companies with more than 15 employees; and housing still remains
uncovered by the State or Federal level except for HUD housing. Mr. Komando stated that was correct.
Mayor Woods stated, therefore, they need to decide if they want to move forward with something to
cover housing and the equality in lending practices for mortgages, etc. She asked if they would want
any exceptions for number of homes owned, rented, sold, etc.
Commissioner Daugherty stated he would like four or fewer houses excepted. Commissioner Mark
stated that would be consistent with what we currently have now. Mr. Komando stated that was correct.
Commissioner Mark stated she also believes businesses with 15 or fewer employees is reasonable for an
exception.
Mr. Komando clarified that the Commission is asking for the 15 business employee exception and for
the four rental units. Discussion ensued. Mr. Komando further explained for someone to claim that they
are protected under Federal laws for sexual discrimination and to claim that that also applies to sexual
orientation, that claim is being made but it has not been very successful. He stated to say someone has
Minutes-City Commission Workshop
Page 5
AGENDA ITEM# 10
JUNE 9, 2014
April22, 2014
an ability to make a claim, yes, that is true. Discussion about specific businesses in Atlantic Beach
ensued and whether there is a need to have any kind of business provision in the ordinance. Mr.
Komando pointed out that the ability to file a complaint is not the same as the ability to file a suit; there
are many people who file complaints who don't necessarily, under EEOC, receive a letter for a right to
sue. He stated there are a few times, he fears, that two of those concepts interchanged but they are
different mechanisms. Mayor Woods asked if they passed an ordinance would it be in contradiction to
what is going on in the Federal level; would it be an additional burdensome layer, or would it be an
outlet for remediation for people. Mr. Komando stated he does not believe it would be in contradiction;
it would be in addition to some of the protections that are afforded that they have discussed already. He
stated the way our ordinance is written right now it would offer more protection; specifically, before the
business exemption, they handle additional businesses with the credit transactions, the employment
practices and there are different aspects of prohibited conduct. Discussion ensued.
B. Useful Federal Definitions there are different aspects of prohibited conduct
C. Inclusions
D. Enforcement
Mr. Komando answered questions about lawsuits and explained the use of a special magistrate.
Discussion ensued.
Mayor Woods asked if there is a process the Commission is supporting that they can ask the City
Attomey to look into more in-depth to present an option other than the direct route to suing or are they
happy with the direct route to sue.
Mr. Komando stated if they set up an intermediate or local level of review that would, on the front end,
preclude the filing of a lawsuit. He stated a general tenet of civil litigation is that all administered
remedies have to be exhausted before they file suit. He stated, can they preclude people from suing,
probably not. He further stated will it most likely succeed in a court setting if there is a level of review
at the local level that has not happened yet; no, it will probably be dismissed. Further discussion ensued.
Mr. Komando pointed out that discrimination requires intent; you cannot accidently discriminate against
somebody.
4. Commissioner Closing Comments
Mayor Woods allotted each Commissioner one minute for closing comments.
Commission Hill asked if he heard correctly that one method of attempted enforcement may actually
damage someone's chance of getting a legitimate discrimination case into the proper authority if it
wasn't done right. Mr. Komando stated it doesn't damage the validity of the claim, it just requires them
to exhaust administrative remedies prior to seeking court intervention. Commissioner Hill asked what
effect our ordinance would have on that. Mr. Komando stated they haven't gotten to that part as far as
what enforcement mechanism is preferred by the Commission.
Commissioner Beckenbach asked Mr. Komando to come back with something that best protects the City
so it will be less liable to go into a suit. Komando stated he doesn't know what the best remedy would

AGENDA ITEM# 1D

April22, 2014
be. He stated there are different avenues and he does not know which is the best way to resolve a
complaint, if there is one.
Commissioner Daugherty stated he has explained his reasons he is afraid of legislation like this and
believes there is a level of sophistication and understanding. He stated the Commissioners are not full
time legislators and believes this is a State or Federal issue. He stated he appreciates people's passion
and desire to do something about this but the worst thing they can do is pass an inesponsible law that
creates liability for people.
Commissioner Mark stated she would like the opinion to come back to the Commission, on whether
they should have business exemption in there and would like to look at utilizing a special magistrate as a
local intervention. She stated she doesn't want to use an internal commission or employee as a part of
this enforcement process.

CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM# 3A
JUNE 9, 2014
1.) The Florida Statutes outline specific procedures for the annexation of territory. As part of the procedural
process, the Atlantic Beach Commission passed Resolution No. 13-14 on October 14, 2013. This specifically
invited the City of Jacksonville to negotiate an "Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement" for the former Selva
Marina Country Club. This resolution stated that the negotiations shall address at minimum, "issues concerning
service delivery, fiscal responsibilities, and boundary adjustment" for said property as they relate to funding and
delivery of the following services:
a. Public safety
b. Fire, emergency rescue, and medical
c. Water and wastewater
d. Road ownership, construction, and maintenance
e. Conservation, parks, and recreation
f. Stormwater management and drainage
The negotiations are also supposed to address Land Development Planning and Regulation; the effect on Ad
Valorem taxes; Voluntary Annexation; and Future Land Uses in annexed areas. The City of Jacksonville
responded to Resolution No. 13-14 with Resolution 2013-753-A, which was adopted by Jacksonville City
Council on January 14, 2014. This resolution serves as a statutory acceptance of Atlantic Beach's invitation to
negotiate.
Attached is a draft proposed lnterlocal Service Boundary Agreement that has been forwarded to Jacksonville for
comment. We are hoping to hear their input soon.
INTERLOCAL SERVICE BOUNDARY AGREEMENT
AGENDA ITEM# 3A

Analysis of Major Variances
(Variances >$25,000 AND 10.00%)
$ 18,202,996 $ 1,773,557
In general, the major variances are created when the actual funds received-to-date are
different from the percentage of the budget elapsed-to-date. They are as follows:
(1) The positive variance In the General Fund is mostly due to the timing of property tax
receipts. The bulk of the receipts come in November and December.
(2) The city has not received expected grant monies from CDBG; therefore there is a
negative variance in Grants.
(3) The city has not received expected grant monies from the State of Florida nor the City
of Jacksonville; therefore there is a negative variance in Capital Projects.
(4) Building Code Enforcement permit activity is running above projected revenues,
similar to surrounding jurisdictions and counties.
(5) The $67,690 and $157,878 positive variances in the Pension Fund-Police and
Pension Fund-General, respectively, resulted from changes in market values of the
investments of more than the anticipated amount.

Analysis of Major Variances
(Variances >$25,000 AND 10.00%)
950,262
14,517,990 $ 3,035,370
In general, the major variances are a result of timing differences created between the
percentage of budget elapsed-to-date and actual expenditures. They are as follows:
(1) The negative variance in General Government resulted from the budget for insurance
premiums, other than health, and debt service being prorated over twelve months when
budgeted, but expensed when paid -insurance in October and SunTrust '99 debt
payoff in December.
(2) The positive variance in Planning and Building resulted from a vacant position for a
Redevelopment and Zoning Coordinator. The position has been vacant since the
beginning of the fiscal year.
(3) The positive variance in Public Safety was partially due to the budget proration
practice mentioned above -Fire contract with COJ is billed quarterly in arrears
(approximately $260,000 in January); and, lifeguard expenditures will appear
seasonally during April-September. The remaining variance is due to turnover/unfilled
positions in the Police Patrol and Crime Suppression divisions.
(4) The positive variance in Recreation and Special Events is due to a vacant position at
the Donner Park Community Center; additionally, personnel costs have been lower in
FY14.
(5) The variance in the Public Works Department was due to: project activity budgeted
that has not been started/completed -see Project Activity schedule; only three
payments recorded to the trash hauler and fleet maintenance provider (October
payments for September activity were recorded in FY13 for year-end cut-off); Storm
Water Fund debt payments were expensed in October when paid, but prorated for
budget purposes; and minimal expenses have been incurred towards the Parks Master
Plan consultant or the resurfacing/street paving program.
(6) The positive variance in the Public Utilities Department is due to budgeted project
activity that has not been started/completed.
(7) The negative variance in Pension -General resulted from a doubling from three to six
DROP participants with higher benefits.

Police Department
1st Quarter 2014
AGENDA ITEM# 4D
JUNE9, 2014
The inaugural Citizens Police Academy began during this quarter. Police Department
personnel finished planning and creating the CPA program during the first two months of
this year for the start of the inaugural session in March. Each weekly session is planned
to cover different topics taught by different police department personnel. Everyone put
great effort and enthusiasm into this program, which is off to an excellent start! We had a
surprising amount of interest in the CPA and due to this; we had to create a waiting list
for citizens to join the 2nd session (to be scheduled later this year).
We continue to have one full time officer dedicated to the COPS (Community Oriented
Policing) program. This officer spends much ofhis time interacting with citizens within
the community, building positive relationships. He spends most of his days visiting the
community centers, city parks, and conducting patrol on foot and bicycle. Additionally
the COPS officer contacts citizens in need of services to offer different resources. This
officer has become a member of the beaches citizen advisory board for local youth who
are first time offenders.
The Atlantic Beach Police Department has an exceptional emergency response time. The
average emergency response time for January through March 2014, from the time the
first call is received to the first officer on scene, is 2 minutes 52 seconds.
Crime
The state wide annual Part I crime statistics (Murder, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated
Assault, Burglary, Larceny and Auto Theft) for 2013 have just been published. Although
higher than 2012, Atlantic Beach continues to have the lowest per capita crime rate in
Duval county.

change
The Part I crimes were for 2012 were artificially low due to a vacant multi-family
complex. An increase in crime starting in the end of2013 was anticipated. Staff further
expected the increase to continue into 2014. Although an 11% increase was noted, it was
still substantially less than 2011, 2010 and 2009.

In the first quarter, there were 5,516 calls for service. Officers made 165 arrests, 63 of
which were for DUI. 867 traffic citations were issued between January and March of this
year, and 51 traffic accidents were reported. The Animal Control Division received 3 81
calls this quarter, issued 17 citations, and impounded 52 animals.
Personnel
Currently the Police Department has 2 police officer vacancies and 1 emergency
communications operator vacancy. We are in the process of screening applicants for
these positions.
Training
The Department is deeply committed to providing quality training to all its employees. In
the first quarter of 2014, employees have attended training in the following topics:
• Sovereign citizen encounters course
• Managing Multiple priorities, projects and deadlines
• Radar/laser speed measurement
• Developing a comprehensive traffic safety program
• General Instructor Techniques
• Active Shooter Course
• Firearms Armorer Course
• Dispatcher FTO Program
• Linx End User training
• Recovery from Disaster: the local government role
• Managing the Accreditation Process
Advanced training keeps employees current and on the cutting edge of Public Safety
techniques, trends and strategies. The Department believes a better trained employee
results in the delivery of a higher quality of service. The above list does not include
classes taken by the employees who are enrolled in various college degree programs.

Manager to sign the agreement and any related documents.
SUBMITTED BY: Rick Carper, P.E., Public Works Director ,f!__ C
DATE: May 12, 2014
STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: None.
BACKGROUND: As part of the residential development for the new Atlantic Beach Country
Club, the Developer, Atlantic Beach Partners, proposed constructing a wooden bridge to
connect the east (Country Club) and west (residential) sides of Sherman Creek. This
wooden bridge is a high end, structural bridge designed for full H20 (34,000 lb) truck
loading. Because the City of Atlantic Beach does not have bridge maintenance capability,
as part of the Building Permit approval process, Staff requested the Developer enter into a
perpetual maintenance agreement with the City. As part ofthis agreement, the Developer
(initially) and the Country Club will be responsible for routine inspections and maintenance
to ensure bridge is maintained to its design life. Additionally, Section 9 of the agreement
contains indemnification language that holds the City harmless for accidents or events
resulting from the Developer's failure to maintain the bridge in safe and satisfactory
condition.
BUDGET: There is no budget impact to this agreement.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. 14-06 authorizing the City Manager to sign the
attached agreement and any related documents.

example, an award of an annual contract for concrete repairs is operational and would be
on the Consent Agenda, passing with one meeting; while a sidewalk down ABC Street
would be a Miscellaneous Business item scheduled for two meetings, since the sidewalk
project directly affects residents and they need to know about it and have a chance to
weigh in.
Staff will also implement the revised deadlines discussed in the previous meeting to allow
the Commissioners and the public an extra five to seven (5-7) days with the agenda before
the meeting to allow for input and questions to be answered. This extra time will prove
significant for those involved in preparations for a meeting.
Also, as a result of the comments made at the last meeting, Staff has amended the
proposed ordinance to reflect the original meeting time as 6:30p.m.
No budget impact.

AGENDA ITEM # 7 A
JUNE 9, 2014
6. Ordinances require an additional month for approval. Ordinances set policy and
require two meetings to approve. This is by design a method of seeking
additional public input.
7. Workshop format places the Commissioners on the floor for round table
discussions. This helps, but almost every meeting there is a special called
meeting. This requires the cameras to be arranged differently and the sound
system is not as good due to the failure of Commissioners to speak into the mic.
We have had numerous complaints about the citizens not being able to hear the
Commissioners when they are seated in the workshop format. The public gets
confused about whether they are going to get action on an item or not. Staff is
unsure in some cases whether the invited speakers should come to a workshop,
Commission meeting or both.
8. Fear of missing an agenda deadline is real. Staff strives very hard to meet
deadlines. With only one meeting, the consequences of missing an agenda
deadline means either waiting another month for approval or requires that a
special called meeting be scheduled.
9. The meeting of most importance to the citizen is the workshop. This is where the
discussion takes place and this is the meeting the Commissioners need to be best
prepared for. The agenda is received two to three business days ahead of the
workshop. Of course they can prepare over the weekend and have four or five
days max. This gives commissioners only a few days to meet with staff to get
questions answered and we are busy getting ready for the meeting too.
Solution:
The solution being proposed is to return to two regular meetings a month, move
the agenda deadline up to allow for publicizing the agenda a minimum of 10 days
prior to the meetings, and start the meetings 30 minutes earlier. Below are the
reasons this approach would work in reference to each of the above items.
• Items 1 and 2 are addressed because the meetings will occur more often, each
agenda is smaller and therefore the meetings will be shorter. Also, returning to a
starting time for the meetings of 6:00 p.m. would allow staff and citizens to at
least get out 30 minutes earlier. Thirty minutes may not seem like a big
difference but for those who have to be at work at 8:00 a.m. the next morning, it
does make a difference.
• Item 3 -Consultant presentations or interviews of selected persons for contracts
can be approved in the same night, if desired. The option to defer has always
been available.
• Items 3 and 4 -Items of a routine nature can be approved twice a month, allowing
staff to get projects started and allowing us to react and respond quicker to citizen
requests.
• Item 5 -Staff can prepare the reports for approval, attend a meeting and move
forward to the next project. The constant preparation and attendance at long
meetings for items on the agenda that pass with no discussion is a waste of
everyone's time.
• Item 5 -The number of amended agendas will be greatly reduced. The number of
versions of agendas floating around is becoming ridiculous. The Clerk has to wait
until the last minute to publish the agenda to make sure all the amended portions
are included.
• Item 6 -Items of significance deserve either a deferral for more discussion, a
public hearing and or a second reading. Ordinances are policy setting legislation
and as such require two meetings to pass. Significant/complicated items, such as
/\GENOA ITEM 117A
JUNE.9, 20 14
th e llumnn Right s Ordinance, may be discussed inn sepurntc workshop. This ha s
nlways been an option .
o Item 7 ~All meetings cnn take place in the lonn a! sctti t1 g with th e exception of the
workshops cn lled to discuss chosen items o f significa nce. The quality or the
v ideo will be better l or the viewi ng public ancl the professionalism will be
cnhunccd. Workshop settings sho uld be for i nformal discuss ions of n limited
number ol'topics.
o Item 8 -The lear of missing u meeting deadlino will be grea tl y reduced when
there will he nnothcr meeting within u few weeks.
11 Item 9 -The c hun gc to th e agenda procc!-:s will allow Commissioners, s tun:
citizens and the press In receive the Hgcndn nt lens! l 0 days in ndvanec or the
meeting. T his will allo\>v Commissioners two weekends to review nnd umplc time
to talk with c itize ns nnd get with staff. It will allow st nfr to rcse nreh and un swcr
ndditionul concerns or ci tizens nO cr rcuding the reports . The ngendn will he

JUNE 9, 2014
1. Ordinances and Resolutions to set the annual operating budget and millage rate require special advertising and
two public hearings.
2. Changes in Zoning District Classifications, Special Planned Areas (SPA's), changes to Land Development
Regulations and Comprehensive Plan Amendments require one public hearing at the Community Development
Board (CDB) meeting so the CDB can make a recommendation to the Commission. They also require two public
hearings at City Commission meetings.
Notes:
Variances are handled through the Community Development Board {CDB) and require a Public Hearing. No Commission
action is needed.
Use-by-exceptions are heard by the Community Development Board (CDB) for a recommendation, then to the
Commission.
Any agenda Item that requires action and does not have written information in the initial packet, will most likely require
an additional meeting in order to provide advance notice of the details and to allow time for citizen input.

Proposed Ordinance 80-14-85 for Estab li shing Reclaimed Water Rates
Nel son VanLiere, City Manager .
Donna Kalu zniak, Utility Direct~
May 19,20 14
STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: Go lf Co urse
BACKGROUND: The Atlantic B each C ountry C lub, including the residential d evelopment is
cunentl y und er cons tru cti on . T he C ity is also constructin g the recl aimed water faciliti es to serve the
golf co urse a nd new development.
The City will be providing recla imed water to both the gol f course a nd to res id e nces for irrigati o n.
Attached is a s um mary and proposed Ordinance No. 80-14-85 for R eclaimed Water Rates, w hich will
need to be in place soon.
Th e r eu s e of reclaimed water has both enviromn en ta1 and regulatory benefi ts. It offsets the usc of
potable water, redu c ing th e amou nt of g ro undwater pumped from the Floridian Aquifer.
At the same time, the W ater Management Di s tricts are concerned about M inimum Flows and Levels
al area lakes, spri ngs and rivers. Utilities are bei n g encouraged to i ncrease the u sc of reclaimed water.
In the C ity's case, our Consumptive Usc Pennit r equires the City to prov ide recl aimed water to the
new development and golf co urse. In add ition, the St. John s Rive r Wa ter Manage ment D istrict
provi ded $442,000 in g ra nt funding towa rds construction of the Recl a imed W ater Faci li ties project.
Per a s tudy by the American Water Works Association, reclaimed water rates are typicall y s et lower
than the full cost of ser vice. Potable wa ter is less expensive to produ ce th a n reclaimed water, though
of higher quality. Ch arging users th e same or more for reclaimed water th an for potabl e water would
dis courage its u se. T he refore, the majority ofuti1i ti es base th e ir reclaimed r ates on a m arket value
that is less th an th e potable rate. This valu e a lso takes in to cons ideratio n th e envi ro nm ental a nd
regu latory b e nefits of e ncouraging the u se of reclaimed water.
The proposed rates are s imilar to the c mTc nt Atlanti c Beach wate r ra tes in severa l ways. T hey both
have a b ase ch arge a nd a volume cha rge based on metered con s umption. There are a lso separate ra tes
for residen t ia l and co mmercia l cu stomers. Th is recla imed water rate adds a third category; bulk
c us tomers. Thi s is s imil ar to th e rate fo r r euse water establi shed by J EA and C lay County. A
s wnmary of recl aimed water rates from bo th of th ese uti liti es is a tta ch ed.
Fo r the proposed residentia l and comme rcial rates, th e base charge per m o nth is based o n meter s ize
a nd is proposed to be the same th at th e C ity c urrently charges for potable water sa les. T he vo lu me
rate is proposed as a c h arge of $1.49 per thous and ga ll o ns. This is ca lcul a ted to be t wo-thir d s oft h e

cost of potab le water for an average 12,000 gall on per month in·igati o n customer. (The 12 ,0 00 ga ll on
per month figure was obtained by averagi ng the co nsumpt ion of irrigation meters in Selva Lakes and
Selva Link side, which are most si mil ar in size and nature to tbe lots proposed for the new
deve lo pm ent).
T he proposed bulk rate of$0.30 per th ousa nd ga ll ons is based on th e average ofthe Clay Co unty
Utility Authority and J EA rates. These two utili ties wo uld represent the market va lu e for bul k
reclaimed water in our area .
Statewide Comparison
Acco rding th e Florida Depattment of Enviro nmental Protection's (DE P's) 2013 Reuse Inventory, a
tota l of70 utilities in the state do no t charge theiJ' reclaimed customers any fee. Of th e 133 utilities
th at ch arge re sid en ti al cus tomers, the average charge per thousand gall ons is $1.15, with a ra nge of
$0 .1 2 to $9 .36. The 227 utilities that charge bul k rate fees average $0.82 per tho usand ga ll ons, wi th a
rangeof$0.1 0 to $3 .1 4
BUDGET: As the 180 homes are constntctcd, th e Ci ty will begin receiving water and sewer imp act
fees as we ll as revenues from th e reclaimed water system . Impact fees will total $934,200. Annu al
revenues from the new rec laimed fees arc est imated at $58,000 per yea r.

WHEREAS, the City has encouraged water conservation using several methods to
include public education and implementing restructured inclining block water rates, and;
WHEREAS, loss of water may occur from unmetered fire lines through leaks, improper
connections, or misuse, and;
WHEREAS, it is important to be aware of and measure all uses of water to the extent

AGENDA ITEM# SA
JUNE 9, 2014
The applicants are required to obtain a Use-By-Exception per
Section 24-112 (c)(5), which requires one for, "establishments for
heavy automotive repair, towing service or the permanent storage
of automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, and tractors, machinery and
equipment and similar uses."
The applicants stated in the application package the activities on
site include those of a service/transportation company serving
Jacksonville and the Beaches. Their primary business hours of
operation are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
However, they state that they are a 24/7 operation with minimal
staff on duty after 5:00 PM that includes dispatch and call center
support. The application states that "drivers will come to base
occasionally in the evenings to change vehicles". The fleet consists
of 65 vehicles. The cab drivers are independent contractors. The
maintenance shop is a full service shop that operates between
8:00 AM and 6:00 PM. They state that they will not service
vehicles on weekends or in the evenings.
Jeremy Hubsch presented and aerial view of the subject site and
surrounding properties. Sec. 24-112 of the Land Development
Regulations state the intent of the light industrial and warehousing
zoning district is intended for light manufacturing, stoage and
warehousing, processing or fabrication of nonobjectionable
products, not involving the use of materials, processes or
machinery likely to cause undesirable effects upon nearby or
adjacent residential or commercial activities. Policy A.1.5.6 of the
Comprehensive Plan states that Commercial and light industrial
development shall be located and designed so as to minimize
adverse effects on residential areas, traffic facilities, and the
aesthetic character of the City.
Jeremy discussed three suggested actions to recommend approval
and three suggested actions to recommend denial. Staff suggests
that a condition of a cap be set on the amount of cars that can be
kept on site as storage. This will ensure that the property does not
turn into a junk yard or scrap yard.
Brea Paul asked if this application is a result of a Business License
renewal and Jeremy stated that the business had already opened
prior to obtaining their license and then were notified of the need
for the Use-by-Exception. We are working on finding a way to stop
these business from opening without a Business Tax Receipt.

Board
Discussion
Motion
Rob Glazier, the general manager of Coastal Cab introduced
himself and discussed the fact that if there are more that 15 cars
on his property then he is losing money. He states that other than
employees cars there shouldn't ever be more than 25 cars on the
property.
None.
l<irk Hanson stated that he doesn't feel a cap is needed,
considering the neighboring lots are full of vehicles. Sylvia does
not agree and wants cap placed on the number of vehicles left on
the lot. Jeremy stated that there is something in the code that says
the nonconforming use of neighboring land structures or buildings
in the same zoning district cannot be considered for justification of
approval for the Use-by-Exception. Mr. Hanson asked the applicant
how many vehicles does he need to have allowed on the lot at one
time. Mr. Glazier said aside from his 10 employees cars, he would
like to have 25 cabs allowed at one time.
l<irk Hanson makes a motion to approve UBEX-14-00100012 with
the condition of no more than 25 stored vehicles not including
employee vehicles at any one time. Mr. Elmore seconded the
motion. It carried with a 5-0 vote. Brea Paul then stated that the
question of how to handle the businesses opening before obtaining
their Business Tax Receipts will be left to due diligence on the part
of Code Enforcement.

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
Sign Amortization
Jeremy Hubsch
Redevelopment and Zoning Coordinator
May 15, 2014
AGENDA ITEM# 8E
JUNE 9, 2014
BACKGROUND: In 2002, the City of Atlantic Beach re-wrote its sign code, which reduced the
maximum height for freestanding signs from 25 feet to 8 feet, increased the maximum sign width from 10
feet to 12 feet, and increased the maximum sign area from 80 square feet to 96 square feet. At the time
these changes were enacted in 2002, there were 79 freestanding signs that exceeded the eight-foot height
limit. These signs were then given ten years to come into compliance with the new code changes. In 2011
that ten year amortization period was extended to January 1st 2015 in order to be consistent with Neptune
Beach's amortization. One thing that was not contemplated at the time of that extension is the fact that the
date for Jacksonville's sign amortization for Mayport Road is 2018.
Sign amortization is sometimes described as more of a postponement than a solution. The legal theory
underpinning amortization is that the local government has placed the property owner on notice, and has
provided sufficient time for the property owner to realize a return on his or her investment so as to avoid a
deprivation of due process rights. Ultimately, amortization is a "balancing test" that weighs the private
cost against the public gain. In doing research, it appears that ten years is generally accepted as a
reasonable period to allow owners to realize the return on their initial sign investment. Numerous courts
in Florida and across the country have upheld a municipality's ability to regulate non-conforming signs
through the amortization process.
The code changes enacted in 2002 created situations where a sign would need to be replaced, such as:
abandonment, weather damage, alteration of more than 25% of materials (see Exhibit 1 for full list). Since
2002, the amount of non-conforming signs in Atlantic Beach has been reduced from 79 to 54. In that
same time period, 19 new free standing signs have been constructed that meet the eight foot height limits
and all other sign codes. Twelve of these signs are on Atlantic Boulevard and seven are on Mayport Road.
As you can see on the map in Exhibit 2, the majority of the new conforming signs on Atlantic Boulevard
are between Sailfish Drive and Aquatic Drive. Thirteen of fifteen signs between Seminole Drive and the
Town Center are non-conforming (Exhibit 3). On the Neptune Beach side of Atlantic Boulevard, there are
only five non-conforming signs between Seminole and the Town Center. Given property values in this
area and market demand, asking businesses to come into compliance may not be as difficult as it will be
on Mayport Road.
There are currently 29 nonconforming signs in the Atlantic Beach portion ofMayport Road. Staff was not
able to determine how many non-conforming signs there are in the city of Jacksonville portion of
Mayport Road. Based on visual analysis of the corridor, it is clear that the amount is substantial. The City
of Jacksonville's sign amortization for Mayport Road is not scheduled to occur until2018.
AGRNOA ITF.M II 8E
JUNE 9, 2UI 'l
Staff Recommendations: Staff has severa l rec o mmendations. The first is to sync amort ization up with
both Neptun e Beach and Jackso nville. Neptune Beach ex tend ed their s until the fa II of 20 14, while
Ja cksonv ill e's wi ll not occur un til 2018. This proposal me ans kee pin g th e sche dul ed 20 15 amortization
for Atlan ti c Blvd, whi le ex tending Mayport Road's unt il 2018 to match Jacksonv ill e's portion of the
corridor. If bus inesses o n both co rri dors are required to come into comp liance by January, 181 20 15 , it will
great ly exhaust staff resources and time. By staggering th e amorUzatio n, sta ff can foc us on Atlantic
Boulevard and then use that ex perience to work with businesses on th e Mayport Corridor to prepare for
20 18. There is also no denying that right now there is a major difference in terms of aest hetics, rent
ptices , and property va lu es between Atlantic Boulevard and Mayport Road. As the gateway to th e beach
and Town Ce nt er, the co mm ission may decide to ho lu Atlantic Boulevard to a hi gher standard than
Mayport Road.
In looking at how oth er municipalities have handl ed s ign amortization, it was found that the usc of
in ce ntive programs has great ly eased the conten ti ousness of th e process and speed their removal up . Staff
would like to ask for money in next yea r 's budget to create an incentive program for owners of non-
conformin g signs on Atlant ic Bou leva rd . Th is program co uld help offset the costs of re mova l/a lteration .
Genera ll y 50/50 matches are the standard for these typ es of programs. Staff estimates tha t ro ughly 8 of
the 25 non-confo rmin g signs on Atlantic Bou levard can be reduced by cutting th e sign pole, 2 can be
con·ected by minor alterations, and 8 throug h major a lterations. The remaining seven would likel y need
total replacement.
Extending the amort izat ion to 20 I 8 for Mayport, would also give staff time to try to create an incentive
program for non-co nfonnin g signs there and to start working proactively wi th businesses. There is the
possibility of using fu ture CDBG funds for a sign removal program. Additionally, the city may exp lo re
the creat ion of a CRA along the Mayport Road corridor, wh ich would be another mechan ism to fund an
incenti ve pro gram. Given the cut Tent market conditions, an d lack of a long tenn redevelopment plan, staff
be lieves it is in the bes t interest of all patties to delay amort ization to 20 18 for Mayport Road .
Staff wou ld also li ke to usc thi s opp ortunity to consi der making c hanges to th e sign code th at relate
speci fi ca ll y to amorti zat ion . One of those is lo create specific standards that would allow non-confom1ing
signs to be granted a waiver. Currently, £he code states that a waiver can be soug ht, but does not have
es tabli shed criteria for when one shou ld be granted. Another possib le cha nge is to require that non-
conforming signs come into compli ance when a subs tant ial redevelopment happens on a property.
Cu rren tly the code only requires a sig n come into co mpli ance if there are any changes to th e s ign itsel r,
but docs not require it when any other improvements occur on a property. If amortization is extended to
2018 along Mayport Road, thi s provision would cnsuJe more businesses come into compliance with sign
codes prior to the dead line.
BUDGET: None.
RECOMMENDATION: Request that taff drafl an ordi nance that amends the existi ng sign code
to exte nd amortiza tion to 2018 for Maypot1 Road; establis hes specific standards for the granting of
waivers; and requires non-conforming signs to come into compliance whe n subs tan tia l ren ova ti ons occur
on a property.

RE: Memorandum of Understanding for Use of School Fields
Dear Ms. Register;
Attached for your use is a copy of the executed Memorandum ofUnderstanding (MOU)
between the City of Atlantic Beach and the Duval County School Board for joint use of
the playing fields at Atlantic Beach Elementary School. The Mayor and Commission of
the City of Atlantic Beach approved the execution of this agreement at their meeting of
March 12, 2001.
Two changes have been made to the MOD to correct for errors. The fust is on the third
page, Section 7 "signage"; which requires the installation of a sign. It states "constructed
on Duval County School Board property by the City of Jacksonville." This has been
changed to say "constructed on Duval County School property by the City of Atlantic
Beach." Second, Exhibit B, Item 2 allows for use of the field "3: 15 to 8:30pm (3: 15 to
6:00pm during Daylight Savings Time)" and should instead say "3:15 to 8:30pm (3:15
to 6:00pm during Eastern Standard Time)". I have initialed both changes on behalf of
the City of Atlantic Beach.
This letter is also to clarify a couple of the provisions in the MOU. Exhibit C lists "sod
for field areas" as one of the improvements that would be made by the City of Atlantic
Beach. It is the City's understanding that sod will be put in the disturbed areas that result
from the grading needed to relocate and level the playing fields. It is not the City's intent
to install new sod on all playing fields Second, Section 3 on page 2 states "City shall
maintain, at it's sole cost and expense, the Improvements installed by it on the Property."
It is the City's understanding that our maintenance responsibilities will include the
irrigation system, soccer goals and benches, which are listed in Exhibit C. The school
will continue to mo>v the area after the playing fields have been realigned as you have in
the past. lf either of these clarifications does not coincide with your understanding,
please Jet me know at your earliest convenience.
AGENDA ITEM# 8F
JUNE 9, 2014
On behalf of the Mayor and Commission of Atlantic Beach, I '"'ould like to express our
sincere appreciation for your cooperation in making these playing fields available to the
public. Land is scare in Atlantic Beach and the provision of public facilities to serve our
constituents requires the successful cooperation ofpublic.agencies. I am,
