MOTION CARRIED
Commissioner Hill asked if the 90-day calendar will include the language on the Commission meetings
timing and schedule. Mayor Woods stated, no, it is in the Ordinance. He also asked if the repair and coating
of the elevated tank is the same tank Mr. VanLiere discussed in his follow-up report. Mr. VanLiere stated
the emergency purchase order was for the repairs to the ground storage tank; item E is the elevated tank.
Donna Kaluzniak explained the bid for the ground storage tank fortunately came in $31,000 under budget so
it was $21,000 more than they had budgeted. She stated it is a 500,000 gallon concrete ground storage tank
with baffle walls that are concrete block in between and, although they probably should have specified a
complete blast they thought they could get by with just a brush blast but after they started blasting they found
other coatings and some deterioration on the ceiling and some things that you really can't tell until after you
start blasting it. Commissioner Hill stated the difference between the two numbers is more acceptable than a
$52,000 miss, so he understands now.
Motion: Approve Consent Agenda Items B and E as read.

Mayor Woods stated this is part of the budget adjustment and wanted to talk about it before they get to the
budget. She explained we have an agreement between the Atlantic Beach Elementary School, the School
District and the City that we help with the recreational needs of the school so our citizens are allowed to use
the facilities. She stated a few years ago we partnered in creating a track that is now in need of repair. She
asked Mr. Cottrell to further explain.
E.K. Cottrell, 1656 Park Terrace E., President of Friends of Atlantic Beach Elementary (F ABE), explained
the partnership with F ABE and City of Atlantic Beach related to the track. He stated the track has
deteriorated over time and is in need of repair, stating they are getting bids and will contract with the low
bidder. He stated the school system has offered to help manage the project.
Motion: Authorize the City Manager to provide assistance and funding to the Friends of Atlantic
Beach Elementary for improvements to the track at Atlantic Beach Elementary School pending the
approved funding by Ordinance No. 20-14-127.

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 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 Daugherty, Seconded by Mark
Mayor Woods stated she was going to recommend they defer until Commissioner Beckenbach could be here.
Commissioner Daugherty stated this requires two readings and he can be here for the second one.
Commissioner Hill stated the portion about the workshopping didn't read the way he understood it and he
doesn't want to move it along until that is defined and asked if staff can look at that. He stated it wasn't what
they talked about. Mayor Woods agreed, the way it reads here, there is no mention of having a workshop and
the way she thought they had left it was that they would have a workshop as well as a meeting for the action
items and consent agenda items. Commissioner Hill asked the City Attorney if they can amend it at the
second reading because there was another piece they wanted to look at to mimic what another city was doing.
Mayor Woods introduced Rob Bradley, who was standing in for Rich Komando this evening. Mr. Bradley
stated this sounds like a minor change. He stated his concern would be if it was a minor but substantive
change between first and second reading; that could be problematic and cause a delay. Commissioner Hill
stated it is substantive. Mr. Bradley stated if it would be possible for him to get with the staff member and
write in the language that is appropriate and reflects his understanding and then they could go forward with
the first reading tonight. He stated or they could do it right now with them all sitting here. He stated but he is
happy to keep things moving to take a sidebar with a member of staff and straighten out in that manner while
you all go forward. Commissioner Hill asked if there was any urgency and could they live with this for one
more cycle; or is there a driving reason to make sure they don't miss it. He stated he knows they want to do it
but he wants to get it right and not procedurally stall it either. Mr. VanLiere asked if, for the record, could
they amend the motion to include adding a workshop and that would be enough so that the precise language
would come back at a second meeting. Mr. Bradley asked what is the substance of what they would like to
see added to what is in front of them. Commissioner Hill stated the workshop thing was the big hang-up but
then there was some additional information he received through the week that said there might be a little bit
of additional help coming from one of the neighbor cities (Neptune Beach) in the way they do something, so
he didn't want to derail the train but he wanted to take a second to look at it. He stated Neptune Beach has a
similar thing and it was recommended from several citizens that they look real hard at it. He stated he
received three calls on it, so he wanted to make sure they did look at it before they did that but didn't want to
derail the process to do that because they kind of know where they want to go and they don't have to follow
another city but he didn't want to head down this track and then just stop the train.
Commissioner Mark stated when they originally changed the format of the meetings it really was to minor
Neptune Beach which is probably why they need to delay this a little. She stated she doesn't know what we
are doing that Neptune Beach is not doing or vice versa to make it work for them but it doesn't seem like it is
working for us. Mayor Woods stated the Mayors and City Managers got together with Neptune Beach and
she asked that question of them and what they do differently is in the way they prepare the agendas. She
stated the way we have been doing it is that we prepare the meeting for today and then the workshop agenda
works off of that. She stated they do it the other way around and create a workshop agenda and then only the
things that they get consent to move forward end up on the regular meeting agenda, so not necessarily
June 9, 2014 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM# lA
JULY 14,2014
Page 5
everything that was on the workshop agenda would end up on the regular agenda. She stated therefore there
is not as much change to the agenda because it hasn't been created until after the workshop. Commissioner
Mark stated that was their original intent, she doesn't believe it was ever to create the agenda and then
workshop every item on the agenda. She believes that was exactly it; the workshop created those items and if
there was not consensus to move forward, it remained as a workshop item and all the other items that there
was consensus on or that were ready to be approved, then went on the actual agenda for the meeting.
Mr. VanLiere stated to say that another city does it is one thing, saying that it works and that they like it and
it is working for them is something else. He stated Neptune Beach has their problems too; one of the
differences between our agenda and theirs is just the mere size of it. He stated they only have a few things on
their agenda where we are tenfold. Commissioner Mark agreed that is another consideration because we are
basically three times the size of them and are obviously going to have more issues corning up.
Commissioner Hill asked the City Attorney if the changes he has heard are substantive or is it something they
can move forward with. He stated he believes they all want to and he doesn't want to delay this. He asked if
it is something they can make a few adjustments to as long as they are not revamping the whole system. Mr.
Bradley stated he just heard a discussion about how the agenda would flow from the workshop to the regular
meeting. He stated the Ordinance doesn't speak to how the agenda is prepared so if these are issues they
want to flush out that is a discussion independent of this. He stated he also heard a workshop mentioned but
there is no mention of the workshop in this ordinance and asked if there is a desire to add some language
about a workshop into this ordinance. Commissioner Mark stated she thought that has been discussed,
although not specifically, which is where we are now. Mayor Woods stated she thought at the workshop that
was one of the things they talked about that was going to end up in it for tonight for us to be voting on. Mr.
Van Liere stated he believes the confusion would be that when they talked about it last time, they talked
about items that would be visited twice. He stated they always have the ability to put anything on a
workshop, and to call a workshop when they want. However, they talked about making some things on the
agenda that would be for information the first reading, then carry over to the next reading so they would be
heard twice versus specifically having a prescheduled workshop before each meeting to hear those things that
were carried over. He stated, to him, it was if you have them, then you have a workshop; if you don't have
them, you don't have a workshop, but you wouldn't have to have one every time. He stated we could put it in
there that you are going to have one and then cancel it. Commissioner Hill stated he would rather do it that
way, honestly, because the whole point of it is to let the public know that we are going to openly and
transparently discuss everything and if there is a workshop then the opportunity exists to do that. He stated
that was the whole thing that made them get on board with it; more things will get workshopped if they know
it is there every day and less things will get workshopped if it is something they have to add to it so he would
like to be a standard procedure and would much rather take the three seconds it takes to cancel one here then
to go the other route with it and that is how he thought they were heading with it. Mr. VanLiere stated so on
a typical agenda they would have some items they would want to see twice and his plan would be that they
would just be on the agenda and they would see them again in the next meeting but if they wanted to take one
of those items and have a specific discussion on it then they would get with the Clerk and say, that is a
workshop item. Commissioner Hill stated the big difference is that one the public is more comfortable being
engaged in and one the public is more on the fringe of it and the workshop seems to give the puplic a better
sense of involvement, which was what they liked about it. Mr. Van Liere stated the other part of that is the
way the room is set up; if they have the two meetings a month and the agenda is flowing, the workshop setup
would not take place. Mayor Woods stated that is a minor detail, they can stay. Mr. VanLiere stated he said
that the public felt more comfortable; he didn't know if they were referring to the setting. Commissioner Hill
stated no, more to the process and he believes the idea was for the larger crowd things they do it through this
setup we have now and for the things they know aren't going to be 600 people they would do the round table
June 9, 2014 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING
AGENDA ITEM# lA
JULY 14,2014

set up and it was a little more comfortable but he thinks that is a case by case and he believes they can deal
with that. Mayor Woods stated she was under the impression they were going to have a hybrid system and
that they would have a regular meeting with consent agenda items, committee reports, all those things and
everything else under miscellaneous and the ordinances would be heard at two different meetings. Mr. Van
Liere stated some of them; they were talking about the things that affected someone's street or someone's
neighborhood or special interest group, all those things they would put on there twice. Mayor Woods stated
the use-by-exceptions would go twice. He stated they did the chart and amended the chart that shows those
would go twice. He stated in the course of the meeting you can have a discussion like we do and at any point
you say this is really important, let's workshop it and it's on a workshop at the beginning of the next meeting.
Commissioner Mark stated she doesn't know what the difference is, other than calling it a workshop or a
Commission meeting. She stated if there is an item on the agenda that is creating enough public concern or
discussion or even just Commission discussion, we have the right to not take action on anything and can
always defer it to the next meeting and if it is a large enough item that stands alone, they can schedule a
special workshop for that one particular item. She stated she believes it is going to get too confusing because
it is so nebulous at this point, the way the workshops are being discussed right now, for staff to figure out.
She stated she believes they could just say they are having the Commission meetings and the items they can
move forward on and approve or take action on they do and the ones that need more discussion or public
input get deferred to the next meeting. She stated she believes they are making this much more complicated
than it needs to be. She stated the public is not going to be disenfranchised in the least whether they are at a
Commission meeting or a workshop. She stated if there is enough public supp01t or angst about something
they are doing, they are going to hear about it and they have the power to defer it to the next meeting or to a
workshop. She stated keeping it as two regular Commission meetings like they always had and having a
discussion like they have always had in the past, just because you call one a workshop and one a Commission
meeting doesn't mean that you're still not going to have that engagement and that discussion. She stated she
believes they are really overcomplicating the process and believes that, for staff, if they are trying to do a
hybrid like this it is going to make it even more complicated. She stated she isn't really even following it that
well. Mayor Woods stated they had the discussion about having the workshop and the way this is written,
there is no workshop talked about. She stated she would ask Commission Hill to make an amendment with
some language about the workshop so they can move forward and discuss it. She stated they can have the
language taken care of between now and the next meeting, which would be the second reading.
Commissioner Mark stated they still have to have some kind of procedure in place as to how that workshop
comes into play and it isn't left up to the City Attorney; the Commission is who is asking for the workshop to
be included, so she believes it is up to them to determine how procedurally that is going to work. Mayor
Woods stated as she recalls, they wanted a workshop set regularly so they didn't have scheduling problems
and citizens, the Commission and staff knew there was always going to be a scheduled workshop at this time
so they all planned for it and were ready for it and whatever got put on the workshop agenda got put on it and
if they didn't need it, they didn't need it. Commissioner Mark asked when the workshop was supposed to
take place, before the Commission meeting or after. Commissioner Hill stated before, at 6:30. Mayor Woods
stated she thought it was at 5:00 and the Commission meeting was to start at 6:30. Commissioner Hill stated,
from his recollection, the discussion was that 5:00 was too soon for people to get from their workplace to a
meeting and 6:30 was a more reasonable time. He stated the idea was that they weren't going to have long
workshops because they are going to have one every two weeks. He stated it was supposed to be before the
meeting and it took as long as it took and then the regular Commission meeting starts.
Motion: Amend to add a regularly scheduled workshop prior to each Commission meeting that can be
cancelled.

AGENDA ITEM# 1A
JULY 14, 2014
Page7
Commissioner Hill stated that was the intent at the last meeting and the disturbing thing is that something
changed along the way without it getting here and it is a little bit worrisome. He stated he doesn't want them
to have discussions with content and then see things that come to them without the content.
Commissioner Mark stated she doesn't believe there were any changes made. City Clerk Bartle stated they
would have done them if they really felt they had that consensus. She stated they don't just ignore direction.
Commissioner Mark stated if she is hearing Commissioner Hill correctly, what he is proposing now is that
there would be a standing workshop at 6:30p.m. before every Commission meeting but ifthere is an occasion
where there is not going to be a workshop then the Commission meeting would start at 6:30. She asked how
do they let the public know, who may not want to come to the workshop but do want to come to the
Commission meeting, when that is going to start if there is no specific time for beginning and ending the
workshop and if it is so nebulous. Commissioner Hill stated it is an easy answer; there is an agenda that is
posted. He stated ifthere is nothing on the agenda they won't have the meeting. Mayor Woods sated they
had also discussed at the last meeting a set time for the workshop, so they didn't go on forever.
Commissioner Mark stated Commissioner Hill is proposing that there is not. Commissioner Hill stated it is a
6:30 set workshop and the only reason he knows that all this existed is when he got calls during the week
from citizens who listened to the tape and watched the tape who said there had been changes made based on
what was written, it concerned him and he wanted to make sure because there were citizens who worked real
hard to generate the workshop situation in the first place. Commissioner Mark stated she agreed with that but
it didn't work the way they did it. Commissioner Hill stated he believes they were fine with that, he believes
they just didn't want to see it go away completely and there is no language about any workshop in any of it
now. Commissioner Mark stated she believes there is too much emphasis on the word workshop. She stated
the Commission at the Commission meetings can still have as much of a discussion, the public will still be
able to give their input whether it's a workshop or a Commission meeting and the Commission will still have
the power to defer any item they are not ready to make a decision on. She stated if they start putting in all
these variables she believes they will have an uprising more than just not having a workshop at all because it
is confusing enough. She stated it will create more problems than it is going to solve, from staff in preparing
the agenda, to the public knowing what is going on, when they are meeting for a workshop, and when is the
regular Commission meeting. Mayor Woods stated that is a valid point and, hopefully, the language that the
Commissioners will work out with staff between now and the next meeting will clarify exactly how that is
going to work. Commissioner Mark asked if each Commissioner is going to get with staff and give their own
suggestions as to how this should work.
Commissioner Hill stated he believes this issue hasn't made itself ready to be voted on because there are way
too many variables and he didn't think there was. He stated it is a clear cut issue, you do a workshop before
each meeting, but if everyone is not comfortable with it. He stated he would like to see it say what they
actually said and he will go back and get the tape and they can all watch it again if they have to, but he knows
what was said. Commissioner Daugherty stated currently he believes there is only one of them who is not
comfortable with it and from his understanding of what he is saying there will be a scheduled workshop and
the subject of that workshop will be that meeting and if they feel anything needs to be workshopped they will
just go into the meeting. He stated he doesn't believe there is really a point in someone knowing whether
there is going to be a workshop or not; if they want to show up for the meeting, they will show up at 6:30
because they want to see the workshop on the meeting. He stated he believes there are at least three of them
who are comfortable with the amendment and he believes they should go ahead and call the question.
Mayor Woods stated they have a motion to call the question. City Clerk Bartle asked Commissioner Hill to
restate his amended motion. Commissioner Hill stated the amendment would be to regularly schedule a

workshop prior to each bi-weekly Commission meeting and that is all it needs to say; the rest is the same
language as far as the agenda and would follow our normal routine for preparing an agenda. He stated he
believes the whole point of the City Manager's recommended changes originally would be that it would give
them additional time to do that, the five day thing should give them plenty of time for that. He stated
whatever that language was; he doesn't want to modify that. City Clerk Bartle stated when he says prior to,
does he mean 5:00 or does he mean 6:30. Commissioner Hill stated 6:30; 5:00 never came up after it was
cancelled because obviously everyone has to drive and he knows Commissioner Daugherty clearly voiced
that he didn't think he could get here at 5:00 regularly and several citizens didn't like the 5:00 start either, so
it's a 6:30 start for whatever meeting it is. City Clerk Bartle stated she always thought that when you have a
regular meeting, a voting meeting, that is going to have public hearings, etc., you have to put a time certain on
those meetings. She stated if they don't know if they are going to have a workshop at 6:30 and what time the
regular meeting is, she doesn't know if that is going to cause a problem. Commissioner Hill stated he
believed that Commissioner Daugherty specified a block of time and he thought it made sense but he doesn't
recall exactly what it was but it was 6:30 to something. Commissioner Daugherty stated he doesn't recall
what he said. He stated when the question has been called, discussion should stop and they should go ahead
and vote. Mayor Woods stated they need to vote on calling the question and asked if they were ready to call
the question. Commissioner Mark stated nay. Mayor Woods stated they are not calling the question, so
continue. Commissioner Hill stated he believes everyone is confused on what they are voting on and asked
City Clerk Bartle to read back what they are voting on. City Clerk Bartle stated he wanted them to amend the
ordinance to add regularly scheduled workshops prior to each bi-weekly meeting. She stated technically they
are not bi-weekly. Commissioner Hill stated understood, so that language can be removed. He further stated
the City Clerk also brought up a procedural issue that he didn't mean to put in there but if they have a time
specific to start the Commission meeting, they need to address that. He stated this isn't ready to be seen by
them. He stated they aren't there yet; it's too big a deal. He stated they aren't ready to make this change. He
stated he would like to talk to staff about it.
Mr. Bradley stated he believes Commissioner Hill's recommendation is in order based on all the discussion
he has heard this evening. He stated he would recommend that between now and the next time they gather at
a publicly noticed meeting that the Commissioners spealc to staff about how this is to look and then there will
be some language in front of them that they can either vote up or down the next time they gather. He also
pointed out that whether it is called a workshop or not, it is okay to use that language, they are allowed to
vote on things at a workshop, even though it is called a workshop; they are allowed to not consider something
at a regular council meeting, even though it is on a council meeting agenda. He stated if the next time they
gather, it is under the guise of a meeting called a workshop, they can have that full discussion with that
language in front of them at that time. He stated that would be his recommendation.
Commissioner Hill withdrew his amended motion. Mayor Woods withdrew her second.
Motion: Table this until it is sorted out.

Page 11
Commissioner Mark asked Mr. Bosco to explain the steps he took in getting this driveway built before
actually getting the approval from the Commission on this variance (waiver). He explained he attended the
workshop and there were no comments. He stated he submitted this for a variance on March 1 and he didn't
realize this would take three months to come to hearing. After not hearing any discussion at the workshop,
unknown to his client or anyone else, he had irrigation, landscaping, etc. put in and had pavers sitting on the
side that needed to get in. He finished the driveway knowing that there were no comments ever mentioned,
not thinking that there was going to be any opposition. He stated that was just him taking the situation in
hand to try to finish the project. He stated his clients were coming in from out of state and needed a place to
live. He stated he did not realize he had to go through all of this to get a driveway approval and he
apologized for that. Discussion ensued and Mr. Bosco answered further questions.
Mayor Woods opened the Public Hearing.
Richard Reichler, 2025 Beach Avenue, stated he is in opposition to this waiver. He stated they need a
process for waiver applications; the victims are not the owner but the citizens of Atlantic Beach who comply
with the City's regulations, which they are not fully enforcing; and there shouldn't need to be a neighborhood
revolt for the City to enforce its own laws. He requested the City Attorney be appointed to prosecute the
violations the owners have made ofthe Land Development Code at 436 Beach Ave.
Teresa Polistina, homeowner, 436 Beach Ave., explained they hired Bosco because they were far away and
would not be here to oversee the building. She stated they did not know anything about needing the variance
(waiver) until well into the building of their home. She stated they received their Certificate of Occupancy
and believed all the proper things had been done in order for them to move in. She stated she feels badly that
they didn't do the proper things; she believes in following rules more than anybody else so she is shocked she
is here. She stated she would just like to get the variance (waiver); she believes it looks very nice. She stated
they aren't trying to do anything to upset the neighbors and have even consulted with their neighbors next
door as far as their landscaping on the sides because they want to make sure they aren't doing anything they
don't want them to do.
Chris Jorgensen, 92 W. 3rd Street, spoke in favor ofthe driveway, as requested.
No one else from the audience spoke so the Mayor closed the Public Hearing.
Discussion ensued.
Mr. Carper gave the history of the permit and the waiver application.
Mayor Woods stated they are voting on the driveway tonight but she would like to get consensus to get a staff
report to come up with a timeline on what happened on this project with the issues Mr. Reichler discussed.
Commissioner Mark stated she is not following what she is asking and why. Mayor Woods stated Mr.
Reichler came before the Commission and brought up some other issues with this construction, which is why
they deferred. She stated none of the Commission seem to know what the whole story is so her question is to
have staff create the story for them so they can figure out if they have issues that can be corrected or not.
Commissioner Hill and Commissioner Daugherty gave consensus.
Commissioner Hill asked Mr. Bosco to be a lot more careful moving forward on anything that has not been
approved and give his word he will not do this again. Mr. Bosco stated yes.

Commissioner Mark reminded the Commission that if they approve this they are setting a precedent.
Commissioner Hill asked what was the intent of narrowing the driveways to 20 ft. Mr. Carper explained the
intent was preserving some greenspace and also to limit the amount of impervious added to the right-of-way.
He stated these pavers are set in accordance with the International Concrete Paver Institute standards and are
by our Code 50% pervious.
Commissioner Daugherty asked if there are any heavier penalties they can put on the builder. Mr. Bradley
stated any remedy they would have would be to the property owner; they would not go directly to the builder.
He stated their control is over the regulation of property and the person ultimately responsible is the owner.
He stated their focus would be are there any code enforcement violations currently existing or that have
happened in the past. He stated if they approve this waiver then that would now not be a violation to have a
30 ft. driveway and would not be one of the violations that one could proceed under a code enforcement
action but there may be other issues out there.
Commissioner Daugherty stated he agrees with Commissioner Mark's arguments but believes this is a bad
welcome to Atlantic Beach for some new people who put their faith in a builder. He stated he believes the
mistake was in staffs part in issuing the C.O.

they will listen to Mr. Hubsch's presentation and then defer to the next meeting.
Jeremy Hubsch explained the history of sign amortization and showed slides of the conforming and
nonconforming signs on Atlantic Blvd., Mayport Rd., Western Atlantic Blvd., and Northern Mayport Rd. He
stated staff recommendations are to sync amortization up with both Jacksonville for Mayport Road, and
Neptune Beach for Atlantic Blvd. He stated that would mean to maintain the amortization as scheduled for
Atlantic Blvd. and delay it to November 2018 for the Mayport Road corridor. He also discussed incentive
programs.
Commissioner Hill asked for a statistical report on the amount of vandalism to an 8 ft. sign versus a 30 ft.
sign. He stated he doesn't see a reason to add additional costs to businesses now.
Mayor Woods stated she believes the key to this will be compromise and she will move this to the next
meeting. She asked that they offer any ideas or suggestions to Mr. Hubsch. Commissioner Hill stated, from
his seat only, there are a lot of things he would rather see his staff working on and would like to move this
issue as quick as they can. He stated there are a lot of things he would like to see our citizens paying for
besides a 2002 ordinance that wasn't a great idea in the first place. He stated he doesn't want Mr. Hubsch

doing anymore work on this research-wise; he would like him to be doing something else. He stated he
absolutely doesn't want to add any fmancial assistance to buy signs for businesses. Mayor Woods stated they
do have an ordinance and they do have a clock ticking, so at some point they have to do something.

10. Reports and/or requests from City Commissioners and City Attorney
Commissioner Daugherty
• Questioned why they are having presentations at the HRO Workshop. He stated they have already
had multiple presentations by multiple people. He stated they need to make a decision whether they
are going to do this or not. He stated he does not want to sit through another discussion. Mayor
Woods stated her conversation with them was that they would have someone there to answer
questions but weren't planning on a formal presentation. Commissioner Hill stated Mr. Gannam was
still expecting to be on the agenda and they were just there to answer questions.
• He encouraged the Commission to drive by W. lOth Street at Mayport Road to see the building being
built. He stated he believes it is hideous. He stated the next time they have a variance they need to
think about that. Mayor Woods stated the building itself was not a variance, it was the parking. She
stated the building meets all of our City Codes. Mr. Hubsch explained because it is 100 ft. back from
Mayport Road it doesn't need to have stucco.
City Clerk Bartle
• Confirmed that she is hearing they will have no presentations at the HRO meeting. Commissioner
Hill asked that they sit in the front row and Mayor Woods stated we could reserve a seat for them.
Ms. Bartle also confirmed that for both the HRO meeting and the Police Building the Commission
will sit at the dais. Mayor Woods stated the HRO meeting will also be recorded. Mayor Woods
stated the consensus was that they would sit at the dais for all workshops.
Commissioner Mark
• Stated she had replied in an email that the HRO guests would not be presenters, they were there to
answer specific questions. She stated she also reiterated in that email that those Commissioners who
have specific questions were to please send them to the attomeys prior to the workshop so they could
have a meaningful workshop and not have a circular discussion as the prior workshops have been.
She stated she believes it is only fair to the attomeys to be able to be prepared to answer these
questions so we aren't going back and forth because it has basically been stonewalled for the last two
workshops because of that. She stated if that is not going to be the case, they may not need to have
the workshop and could just go forward with what they want to do with the ordinance. She stated she
personally does not want to sit for three hours at a workshop having the same vague areas trying to be
answered when there are no specific questions being asked and answered. She asked that any
Commissioners who have specific questions submit them beforehand, so we can move on with this
ordinance. Commissioner Daugherty stated he is in agreement; he believes they should either vote it
up or vote it down.
Commissioner Hill
• He stated that it isn't feasible; there are too many questions. The HRO issue is changing daily and he
will not be writing any questions.
• The Commission affects businesses and tonight they have imposed a completely useless bureaucratic,
random piece of equipment on our new build businesses for no reason whatsoever, by our own

admission. He stated they voted to do it 3-1 and he wants the Commission to think about the fact that
some individual now has to write a $300-$500 check to install a piece of equipment that was clearly
defined as useless and not important but they voted to do it. He stated they are doing the same thing
with the sign thing. He stated he is not sure why they, as a Commission, would vote to put a piece of
equipment in every business that requires a sprinkler system that was deemed to be unnecessary. He
stated the reason he ran was to limit bureaucratic waste and overstepping of government and they just
did it. He stated he wants to go on the record saying that he is disappointed that they did it. He stated
he made a clear point from his background as a professional that it was something that very few other
people do unless there is a concern and we did it.
Mayor Woods
• Welcomed Doug Layton on board.
• Announced today is Chief Classey' s birthday and wished him a Happy Birthday.

AND THE ATLANTIC BEACH COUNTRY CLUB DEVELOPMENT REGARDING
MAINTENANCE OF A WOODEN BRIDGE, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Carper summarized the agreement with Atlantic Beach Partners and Atlantic Beach Country Club
stating it requires them to do all maintenance on the bridge; have bi-annual inspections using FDOT
standards; and to provide the City with a copy of the inspection report and their plan of action if any
deficiencies are noted. He answered questions from the Commission. Discussion ensued. It was
discussed changing the agreement to add that Atlantic Beach Country Club set aside a specific escrow
fund for maintenance and replacement of the bridge. Mr. Carper further stated that the maintenance
agreement allows the City, if the developer or country club does not maintain the bridge to the standards
required by FDOT, to come in and do the maintenance and then charge them for that. City Manager
Van Liere asked if the annexation process doesn't go through will the bridge be the City of
Jacksonville's. Mr. Carper stated the city limit line will bisect the bridge; it goes down the middle of the
creek. Mayor Woods clarified they will ask staff to add the above language regarding an escrow fund to
the agreement for the June 9 meeting.
Referring to Consent Agenda Item B, Commissioner Mark asked if everyone agreed to the 90-day
calendar. Discussion ensued. Mr. VanLiere explained the discussion from the last meeting of how the
calendar could work. Further discussion ensued.
Discussion ensued regarding the Ordinance and grouping all meetings on Monday meeting nights as
either a workshop or a voting meeting. Mayor Woods stated they would no longer need the calendar
because everything would be on those Mondays. She stated the question for staff would then be what
are the things that go onto the workshop agenda and what can routinely go on the voting meeting.
Commissioner Hill stated any Commissioner should be able to pull an agenda item for a full vote if it is
important enough to do so, so absentee isn't going to be a big issue. Mayor Woods stated the items that
would be on the voting agenda every time would be approval of the minutes. Mr. Van Liere stated they
are beginning to discuss another agenda item, the Ordinance in 7 A. Mayor Woods stated they will go to
7A then.
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 AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. VanLiere stated part of what they just brought up was one of the things they struggled with trying
to come up with the hybrid version and how would staff decide which items would be heard once and
which items would be moved. He stated the Commission always has the option to defer something that
is on the agenda to the next meeting if they want to spend more time discussing it. He further
summarized the Ordinance and explained the chart and the timeline for agenda items, stating the other
part of their proposal was to add the extra week that the agenda is put out to the public for the meeting.
When asked by Commissioner Hill if the City Attorney sees any problem procedurally with any of the
discussed items, Mr. Komando clarified that it is the Commission's will in how they want to run the
meetings. He stated there are certain things that require two hearings and certain things that have to be
after a certain time, after 6:00, which they always do anyway, dealing with comp plan and zoning issues;

but aside from that and the fact that ordinances require two meetings, he does not see any problems if
this is something they want to adopt. Mayor Woods stated then they will request staff to bring back a
revised ordinance at the next meeting. City Clerk Bartle stated it is on the agenda for first reading with
the time changed to 6:30. She stated they could add to it to adopt that chart as a standard. Mr. Van
Liere stated it is a guideline, not a rule; there will always be exceptions. (Commissioner Mark left the
meeting at 8:01 p.m. She returned at 8:03 p.m.) Discussion ensued. Following discussion about the
waiver for the driveway that is on the agenda later, Jeremy Hubsch explained waivers don't go to the
Community Development Board, but zoning variances do go to them and do not come before the
Commission. He stated use-by-exceptions go to the Board and then come before the Commission and
they do get noticed to all residents within 300 ft. of the proposed use-by-exception. Commissioner
Beckenbach stated he believes if the Community Development Board has that much authority they
should also be under a microscope and also have an agenda go out to the citizenry so the citizenry can
review what is being discussed as far the variation, changes or exceptions to the zoning. Mr. Hubsch
stated the agenda is put on the website also, so it is disseminated to the public. Further discussion
ensued. It was the consensus that the use-by-exceptions will come before the Commission twice.
(Commissioner Daugherty left the meeting at 8:11 p.m. He returned at 8:17p.m.) Discussion ensued
regarding how to schedule the meetings/workshops. Mayor Woods stated she doesn't have a problem
with having the voting meeting and a workshop at every meeting. City Clerk Bartle stated an advantage
of having this all in one meeting is, if there was something that was meant for discussion, it can be
pulled out of order and addressed earlier in the meeting for whatever reason. She stated if they have to
wait until the workshop, they won't know what time the workshop is going to start to tell the people to
get here and have no option of letting them speak earlier. Commissioner Becken bach stated he likes the
workshop and would still like to continue with the way it is currently. Mayor Woods stated they need a
clear consensus for staff and asked that each Commissioner give their opinion as to how they would like
staff to proceed. Commissioner Mark stated she is confused stating she doesn't know how to respond.
She stated she thought the next step was to either vote as it is being presented or move to amend and
discuss those amendments at the meeting to be voted on. She stated she doesn't have any amendments
to discuss. Commissioner Hill stated he wanted to give staff direction to follow the intent of what they
were presented, with the modifications that were discussed, regarding having the items for two
mandatory visits and not counting any other board as a touch point. He stated he would also like to vote
to review this in four meetings to make sure they haven't gotten into a track and talk about this one more
time during the workshop process and the fourth meeting and make sure it is working properly.
Commissioner Mark spoke to the use-by-exception and having the Commission review it twice. She
stated just because they have that for this Commission doesn't mean it will be on the future
Commissions. She stated for this Commission, fme, but she doesn't believe they should say that is
going to be etched in stone on any future Commissions. She further reminded them that the Community
Development Board is in place for a reason and they do a thorough job as far as their review. She stated
if this Commission believes they need to look at it two more times beyond the Community Development
Board, then that, to her, contradicts what they are trying to do as far as being a friendly town and getting
things done. She cautioned what those unattended consequences may be to do that and believes if you
have a use-by-exception you do your homework, talk to the applicant and do your own due diligence.
She reiterated just because they are going to put it twice on this Commission doesn't mean that is going
to be the way it is going to stay. Commissioner Hill stated the only reason he was comfortable with that
was that it didn't add time to it because of the new technique. He stated it didn't burden the homeowner
time wise and didn't slow a project down. He stated the visit was already going to happen. He stated
they condensed it into the same calendar period by doing it two times a month. Commissioner Mark
disagreed, stating the Community Development Board would look at it, they would send their
Minutes -City Commission Workshop

recommendation, then the applicant would come here and then would have to come back for the
Commission to approve it. Mayor Woods explained she believes Commission Hill is saying the way the
meeting schedule is now it takes a month for us to look at it once and by changing the schedule they can
look at it twice in that same month. Commissioner Hill agreed that was all he was saying. He stated he
was conscientious that they didn't want to burden the citizen in the process and didn't add any time to it,
which he would have been real sensitive to. Further discussion ensued. Commissioner Daugherty stated
he wants to have meetings like they used to have them with a little more notice and then having the time
from 5:00-6:30 set aside for any workshops they may decide they want to have. Mr. VanLiere recapped
they will use the chart as a guideline in assembling the agenda to determine whether or not certain things
are going to be seen twice under miscellaneous business and make sure the use-by-exceptions are seen
twice. Ms. Bartle clarified, with the first time being a discussion only.
B. ORDINANCE NO. 80-14-85, Introduction and First Reading
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 22 UTILITIES, ARTICLE IV, RECLAIMED WATER
SYSTEM, ADDING SECTION 22-365 CHARGES FOR RECLAIMED WATER SERVICE,
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Van Liere stated this is to establish the rates for the reuse water for the country club and the homes
that would be tied into it in the future. Public Utilities Director Donna Kaluzniak further explained the
ordinance. She answered questions from the Commission. Discussion ensued regarding the rates. It
was consensus of the Commission to direct staff to bring the ordinance back with a 75% rate. Mr. Van
Liere stated they can set rates every year. He stated the master agreement they agreed to with the
country club had a lot of hoops to jump through to come up with the rate so they came up with the
market rate, industry standard. He stated a subsidized rate of 75% is about the going rate. Further
discussion ensued.
C. ORDINANCE NO. 80-14-86, Introduction and First Reading
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 22 UTILITIES, ARTICLE II, AMENDING SECTION 22-
30, PRIVATE FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE TO PROVIDE METHOD OF MONITORING FIRE
LINE USAGE; TO PROVIDE FOR SEVERABILITY; TO PROVIDE FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Ms. Kaluzniak explained fire lines are water lines going into a building for fire protection. She stated
typically they aren't metered but in 2005 the City was concerned about water loss so they did an
ordinance to require all people putting in fire lines to meter those lines. She stated at the time it didn't
seem that onerous, just looking at the meter itself, but after you have to put it in and build a vault and do
a bypass line, etc. metering a fire line can add $14,000-20,000 for a business. She stated they would like
to change the ordinance so fire lines are only required to have what is called a detector check meter,
which she explained. She further explained in the ten years they have had the requirement to meter they
have not seen anybody stealing water through their fire line. She stated rather than keep hammering on
businesses, especially since they are still recovering from a recession, they would like to do the detector
check meter instead. Commissioner Hill asked if the detector check meter serves any purpose. He
stated the fire lines are monitored and will report an alarm that will generate a call to the fire department
and a response and asked if they couldn't just check the number of responses to a building in a year and
see if they have a problem, or do they want to know the volume of water that gets discharged each time.
Ms. Kaluzniak stated, no, with the detector check meter, they are just basically checking to see if water
went through it at all. Commissioner Hill stated he doesn't believe a detector meter is even necessary
because the business would not want to flow water in their building through that system because it is

rusty. He stated it has no useful purpose whatsoever, unless they flow everyday in large quantities. He
stated also, it will sound an alarm if it's properly installed and it is inspected annually. He reiterated he
doesn't believe they need any kind of metering on that. Answering a question from Mayor Woods, Ms.
Kaluzniak stated the meters are fairly inexpensive, probably a few hundred dollars. Commissioner Hill
stated to have it installed would be around $3,000. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Hill stated if the
City suspects somebody is stealing water for some purpose, he would think there are other methods
because we are wasting money inspecting those meters and he believes that is pointless. He asked what
is driving the need for this. Ms. Kaluzniak stated they are just trying to reduce water loss. She
reiterated that over the last ten years they haven't seen anything go through the meters. Mr. VanLiere
stated they would do further research for the next meeting.
D. ORDINANCE NO. 20-14-127, Introduction and First Reading
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE CITY OF ATLANTIC
BEACH, FLORIDA FOR FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2013 AND ENDING
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. VanLiere explained the amendments to the budget. He stated the total is $179,224 in revenues and
expenses and a net of $44,862 additional expenses.
8. Miscellaneous Business
A. Public Hearing-UBEX-14-00100012-Request for use-by-exception as permitted by Section
24-112 (c)( 5) to allow the permanent storage of automobiles and automotive repair in the Light
Industrial and Warehouse Zoning District located at 1840 South Mealy Street.
Jeremy Hubsch explained the use-by-exception, showing a slide ofthe site. He stated they have already
opened the business and the use-by-exception was initiated because they came in for their local business
tax receipt and they were told they had to get a use-by-exception per our Code. He stated there is
nothing we can do to stop them from opening up. Mayor Woods asked why we couldn't stop them from
opening. City Attorney Komando explained a business receipt tax is just the City's way to collect tax
for someone operating a business; it doesn't impart any authority for someone to open the business. Mr.
Hubsch stated if someone does open up in an area that doesn't meet the zoning, our Code Enforcement
Department can cite them for that and we can take them through the process. He explained sometimes
we will find out that a business opened without us knowing about it; Code Enforcement then goes to
them and informs them they aren't allowed to be in this district or they need to get the business tax
receipt which then spurs them to check the zoning and tell them whether they are approved or need to
get a use-by-exception. Commissioner Daugherty asked if this doesn't get approved, what happens to
their business. Mr. Komando stated then they are operating in violation of the ordinance and they can be
cited. Mayor Woods stated the business could be there but they couldn't do the things they don't get the
exception for, i.e. store their cars there. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Hill stated a concern about
employees living at the building. Mr. Hubsch stated the use-by-exception process is a contract between
the business and the Commission so they could put a condition in there that states no residential or no
persons staying overnight, etc. Mr. Komando stated he saw no problem with adding the condition but
the ability to enforce it on an operation that may run 24 hours/day may be difficult. Commissioner Hill
stated he just doesn't want them to have built-in dorms. Mr. Hubsch stated they will work on that
language before the June 9 meeting. He answered questions from the Commission. Further discussion
ensued. Mr. Carper further explained an issue with changing the use of the site. He stated there is a
1990 St. Johns River Water Management District Environmental Resource Permit on site for the file. He
Minutes -City Commission Workshop

stated they have a dry retention basin in the Northwest comer. He stated he would recommend that we
require them to get that permit either renewed or updated based on their proposed use of the site. He
stated they are not proposing to add more impervious surface but if they are going to be routinely
parking cars on that, the Water Management District would consider that an impervious surface also.
Mayor Woods asked that Mr. Carper get with Mr. Hubsch to come up with the language for that.
B. Public Hearing-Request for a Waiver from City Code Section 19-7 Driveway Limitations to
Allow a Thirty-Foot Driveway at 436 Beach Avenue.
Mr. Carper stated the builder has constructed this driveway without a permit. He stated the permit was
on hold waiting for this waiver to be approved. He stated it is, therefore, within the City's power to tell
him to take the driveway out. He explained it is a paver driveway which requires both a right-of-way
permit and a revocable encroachment permit. He stated the residents have received their Certificate of
Occupancy and the house is occupied. He stated that was an error on his part. He stated he should not
have signed off on the Certificate of Occupancy, knowing the driveway had not been permitted. He
stated he did not know at the last Commission meeting, when this was discussed, that the driveway had
been constructed. Commissioner Hill asked about a curb at 7th and Beach that was completed by the
same builder. Mr. Carper stated that was put in at his direction. Commissioner Hill stated the problem
is that it is a real deep trough and it creates a hazard. He stated it is a tire trap for a bike. Mr. Carper
explained the purpose for this was that they had an issue of water from Beach Avenue running onto the
houses to the south and he was trying to direct water back to the north. Mayor Woods stated that was a
separate issue and asked if there were any other comments on the driveway. Commissioner Daugherty
asked why they wouldn't approve this driveway. Mr. Carper explained none of the other driveways
carne through this process because this driveway limitation has only been in the Code for five years.
Those other driveways that are already wider than this were built before they had a restriction.
Commissioner Daugherty stated he is in favor of approving this because the homeowner is the one who
is the victim if they make them tear it up because we have already given them the CO. He stated he
would like to find a way to have this not happen again. Mr. Carper stated the check on this should have
been his signature on the Certificate of Occupancy but he made a mistake. Commissioner Hill stated he
agreed with Commissioner Daugherty and there is not a line of neighbors complaining so he believes
they should move on. He stated he is leaning toward approving it but that in the future they should
address these. Mr. Carper stated the builder was here at the workshop and nobody discussed it so he
thought he was good to go. Discussion ensued. Mr. Carper stated Public Works needs to tighten up our
Certificate of Occupancy inspections to make sure that what's on the ground before they sign off is what
is permitted. Discussion ensued regarding setbacks. Mr. Hubsch explained the background of what
occurred regarding the setbacks and permitting when the house was built. Further discussion ensued
regarding the driveway. Commissioner Mark stated she believes the builder needs to remove it, because
he knows what the processes are, having built in Atlantic Beach, and he took it upon himself to go ahead
and build this driveway knowing that we had not given him permission. She stated we should not
reward bad behavior. Commissioner Daugherty stated he would agree with Commissioner Mark except
there will be a cost associated with removing the driveway and putting it back later. He stated since they
had the CO, the resident has probably already paid the developer, so his question is who bears the cost.
Further discussion ensued. Mayor Woods asked that staff continue to research the garage issue.

Donna Kaluzniak explained this is for the Hazard Mitigation Grant we received from the Department of
Emergency Management. She stated similar to our other sewer rehab projects, staff would like to
piggyback on the Insituform and Concrete Conservation Inc. contracts to do the cured-in-place pipe and
manhole rehab and also have some contingency left for point repairs or to use for additional cured-in-
place or manhole rehab, as needed. She stated she is requesting permission to approve the same process
they have with the other sewer rehab projects.
D. Engineering Design of Stormwater Improvements for Seminole Road Drainage Improvements
and Streetscape Project (PW1407).
Mayor Woods stated the City Manager advised there is a revised version of the staff report. (The
revised staff report is attached and made part of this Official Record as Attachment A.) Rick
Carper explained this was one of the projects for the storm water master plan and summarized the
project. He answered questions from the Commission.

STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: 13. Stormwater Master Plan Projects
BACKGROUND: In April, the Commission approved Staffs recommendation of Genesis
BUDGET:
Group for the Engineering Design of Seminole Road Drainage Improvements and
Streetscape and authorized staff to negotiate scope and fees for these services.
Staff, in consultation with the City Manager, has reached agreement on the
Scope of Services and Fee proposal attached to this staff report. The Scope of
Services includes stormwater project design, geotechnical and environmental
services and environmental permitting. Also included is development of
Streetscape options with decorative lighting that are to be presented at
workshops before final design choices are made. Design of a new water main to
replace the existing ~60 year old 8" cast iron line with a new 12" PVC main is
included in this project. The complexity of the project is such that it will not be
ready for bidding in this fiscal year. The Base Fee proposal is $117,920.00,
including $17,000 for topographic survey.
Original budget for project PW1407 was $490,000, with $240,000 from
Stormwater Account, 470-0000-538-6300 and $250,000 in the Half Cent Sales
Tax Account, 131-5002-541-6300. $62,000 was transferred for the Stormwater
point repair on Sailfish Drive. Additional funds will be allocated to this project in
the new budget, including funds from the Water Enterprise Fund for
construction of the new water main.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Commission approve the Scope of Services and
Fee Proposal for Engineering Design for Seminole Road Drainage Improvements
and Streetscape and authorize the City Manager to sign the contract with
Genesis Group.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for allowing us to meet with you today to discuss this project. After
reviewing our figures we submitted and based on the meeting today we have concluded
that our bid prices will not cover all of the necessary materials, equipment and labor
needed to complete this project. We assumed that this project was to be based on a larger
volume of work.
We are asking for our bid to be withdrawn at this time. It was a pleasure meeting with
you today.

AGENDA ITEM: Proposed Ordinance 80-14-85 for Establishing Reclaimed Water Rates
SUBMITTED BY: Nelson VanLiere, City Manager
Donna Kaluzniak, Utility Director
DATE: May 29, 2014 (Revised)
STRATEGIC PLAN LINK: Golf Course
BACKGROUND: The Atlantic Beach Country Club, including the residential development is
currently under construction. The City is also constructing the reclaimed water facilities to serve the
golf course and new development.
The City will be providing reclaimed water to both the golf course and to residences for irrigation.
Attached is a summary and proposed Ordinance No. 80-14-85 for Reclaimed Water Rates, which will
need to be in place soon.
The reuse of reclaimed water has both environmental and regulatory benefits. It offsets the use of
potable water, reducing the amount of groundwater pumped from the Floridian Aquifer.
At the same time, the Water Management Districts are concerned about Minimum Flows and Levels
at area lakes, springs and rivers. Utilities are being encouraged to increase the use of reclaimed water.
In the City's case, our Consumptive Use Permit requires the City to provide reclaimed water to the
new development and golf course. In addition, the St. Johns River Water Management District
provided $442,000 in grant funding towards construction of the Reclaimed Water Facilities project.
Per a study by the American Water Works Association, reclaimed water rates are typically set lower
than the full cost of service. Potable water is less expensive to produce than reclaimed water, though
of higher quality. Charging users the same or more for reclaimed water than for potable water would
discourage its use. Therefore, the majority of utilities base their reclaimed rates on a market value
that is less than the potable rate. This value also takes into consideration the environmental and
regulatory benefits of encouraging the use of reclaimed water.
The proposed rates are similar to the current Atlantic Beach water rates in several ways. They both
have a base charge and a volume charge based on metered consumption. There are also separate rates
for residential and commercial customers. This reclaimed water rate adds a third category; bulk
customers. This is similar to the rate for reuse water established by JEA and Clay County. A
summary of reclaimed water rates from both of these utilities is attached.
For the proposed residential and commercial rates, the base charge per month is based on meter size
and is proposed to be the same that the City currently charges for potable water sales.

J ULY 14,20 14
BACKGROUND: In 2005, as part of the City 's Water Lo ss Preve nt io n Pro gram , s taf f
recommended and th e Co mmi ss ion app roved an Ord inance requiring full metering of new fire
serv ice lin es. Fire serv ice lines are individual wa ter services that are used stri ctl y for fir e
s prinkler sys tems o r for pri vat e fire hydrant s. Typically, they wo uld onl y be used during a fire ,
o r wni le te sting or repaiting th e fire sprinkler system or hydrants for proper fun cti o n.
Staff was concerned th at water lo ss mi ght be occu rrin g thro ugh these lin es, which we re not
required to be met ered . However, s in ce en ac tin g the Ordin anc e, staff has not see n any
un ex plained wate r usage .
Installati on of a full mete r on a fir e lin e is very expens ive fo r bus in esses. Th ese lin es are
typic a lly 6-inches or more in di ameter. The cost of the mete r, and co nstruction of a meter va ult ,
bypass 1 i nes, etc. can cost $14 ,000 to $2 0,0 00 .
To red uc e the burd en on bu sin esses, sta ff wou ld lik e to rev ise the ord in ance to require the
insta ll ati o n of detecto r c hec k meters on tire lines in stead . Th ese are small mete rs th at arc
in stalled on a bypass on the fire service li ne. The met er wi ll register that flow has occun·e d, but
will not indi cate the full flow th ro ugh the line. The City can monitor whe th er flow h as occurred ,
and req ui re verification that th e flow was for a fir e or fi re line tesl. If ve rifi cation is not
pro v id ed, th e City ca n then req uir e th e ow ne r to insta ll a full fire lin e meter.
BUDGET: The C ity does not re ly on nor ant icipa te revenu e from thi s servi ce an d th er efo re

SECTION 2: That Chapter 2, Administration, Article VI, Employee Benefits, Division 3,
General Employees' Retirement Plan, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Atlantic Beach, is
hereby amended by amending Section 2-274, Maximum Pension, to read as follows:
Sec. 2-274. Maximum pension.
(a) Basic limitation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this system to the contrmy,
the member contributions paid to, and retirement benefits paid from, the system shall be limited to
such extent as may be necessmy to conform to the requirements of IRC Section 415 for a qualified
retirement plan. Before Janua1y 1, 1995, a plan member may not receive an annual benefit that
exceeds the limits specified in IRC Section 415(b ), subject to the applicable adjustments in that

AGENDA ITEM# 7D
JULY 14, 2014
adjustments in IRC Section 415(b) and subject to any additional limits that may be specified in this
System. For purposes of this section, "limitation year" shall be the calendar year.
For purposes of Code Section 415(b), the "annual benefit" means a benefit payable
annually in the form of a straight life annuity (with no ancillmy benefits) without regard to the benefit
attributable to after-tax employee contributions (except pursuant to Code Section 415(n) and to
rollover contributions (as defined in Code Section 415(b)(2)(A)). The "benefit attributable" shall be
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations.
(b) Adjustments to Basic Limitation for Fonn of Benefit If the benefit under the plan is
other than the annual benefit described in subsection (a), then the benefit shall be adjusted so that it is
the equivalent of the annual benefit, using factors prescribed in Treasmy Regulations. If the form of
the benefit without regard to any automatic benefit increase feature is not a straight life annuity or a
qualified joint and survivor annuity, then the preceding sentence is applied by either reducing the Code
Section 415(b) limit applicable at the annuity stmiing date or adjusting the form of benefit to an
actuarially equivalent amount (determined using the assumptions specified in Treasmy Regulation
Section 1.415(b)-1(c)(2)(ii)) that takes into account the additional benefits under the form of benefit as
follows:
(1) For a benefit paid in a form to which IRC section 417(e)(3) does not apply (generally,
a monthly benefit), the actum·ially equivalent straight life annuity benefit that is the
greater of:
a. The annual amount of the straight life annuity (if any) payable to the member
under the plan commencing at the same annuity stmiing date as the form of
benefit to the member, or
b. The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the same
annuity stmiing date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of
benefit payable to the member, computed using a 5 percent interest assumption
(or the applicable statutory interest assumption) and (i) for yem·s prior to
January 1, 2009, the applicable mmiality tables described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.417(e)-l(d)(2) (Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any
subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of Revenue
Rulings 2001-62), and (ii) for years after December 31, 2008, the applicable
mmiality tables described in IRC section 417(e)(3)(B) (Notice 2008-85 or any
subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance implementing IRC section
417(e)(3)(B)); or
(2) For a benefit paid in a form to which IRC section 417(e)(3) applies (generally, a lump
sum benefit), the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity benefit that is the greatest
of:
a. The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity
stmiing date that has the same actum·ial present value as the particular form of
benefit payable, computed using the interest rate and mmiality table, or tabulm·
factor, specified in the plan for actum·ial experience;
b. The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity
starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the patiicular fmm of
benefit payable, computed using a 5.5 percent interest assumption (or the
applicable statutory interest assumption) and (i) for years prior to January 1,
2009, the applicable mortality tables for the distribution under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (the mmiality table specified in Revenue
Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable

2008, the applicable mmtality tables desctibed in IRC section 417(e)(3)(B)
(Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance
implementing IRC section 417(e)(3)(B)); or
c. The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity
stmting date that has the same actuarial present value as the pmticular form of
benefit payable (computed using the applicable interest rate for the distribution
under Treasury Regulation Section 1.417(e)-1(d)(3) (the 30-year Treasury rate
(ptior to January 1, 2007, using the rate in effect for the month prior to
retirement, and on and after January 1, 2007, using the rate in effect for the
first day of the plan yem· with a one-year stabilization petiod)) and (i) for yem·s
prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mmtality tables for the distribution
under Treasury Regulation Section 1.417(e)-1 (d)(2) (the mmtality table
specified in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling

years after December 31, 2008, the applicable mmtality tables described in
IRC section 417(e)(3)(B) (Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue
Service guidance implementing IRC section 417(e)(3)(B)), divided by 1.05 .
.Ql The actuary may adjust the 415(b) limit at the annuity starting date in accordance
with subsections (1) and (2) above.

thereunder to be taken into account for purposes of the limitation of IRC Section
415(b)(l); and
ill That pmtion of any joint and survivor annuity that constitutes a qualified joint and
survivor annuity
(d) COLA Effect. Effective on and after January 1, 2003, for purposes of applying the
limits under IRC Section 415(b) (the "Limit"), the following will apply:
(1) A member's applicable limit will be applied to the member's annual benefit in the
member's first calendar limitation year of benefit payments without regard to any
automatic cost of living adjustments;
(2) thereafter, in any subsequent calendar limitation year, a member's annual benefit,
including any automatic cost of living increases, shall be tested under the then
applicable benefit limit including any adjustment to the IRC Section 415(b)(l)(A)
dollar limit under IRC Section 415(d), and the regulations thereunder; but
(3) in no event shall a member's benefit payable under the system in any calendar
limitation year be greater than the limit applicable at the annuity starting date, as
increased in subsequent years pursuant to IRC Section 415( d) and the regulations
thereunder.
Unless otherwise specified in the system, for purposes of applying the limits under IRC
Section 415(b), a Member's applicable limit will be applied taking into consideration cost of living
increases as required by Section 415(b) of the IRC and applicable Treasury Regulations.

(e) Other Adjustments in Limitations.
AGENDA ITEM# 7D
JULY 14,2014
(1) In the event the member's retirement benefits become payable before age sixty-two
(62), the limit presc1ibed by this section shall be reduced in accordance with
regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to the provisions of IRC
Section 415(b) of the IRC, so that such limit (as so reduced) equals an annual straight
life benefit (when such retirement income benefit begins) which is equivalent to a one
hundred sixty thousand dollar ($160,000) annual benefit beginning at age sixty-two
(62).
(2) In the event the member's benefit is based on at least fifteen (15) years of credited
service as a full-time employee of the police depmtment of the City, the adjustments
provided for in (e)(1) above shall not apply.
(3) The reductions provided for in (e)(1) above shall not be applicable to disability
benefits pursuant to Sec. 2-268, or pre-retirement death benefits paid pursuant to Sec.
2-267.
(4) In the event the member's retirement benefit becomes payable after age sixty-five (65),
for purposes of determining whether this benefit meets the limit set fmth in subsection
(a) herein, such benefit shall be adjusted so that it is actumially equivalent to the
benefit beginning at age sixty-five (65). This adjustment shall be made in accordance
with regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate.
(f) Less than Ten (1 0) Years of Pmticipation or Service. The maximum retirement
benefits payable under this section to any member who has completed less than ten (10) years of
credited service pmticipation with the City shall be the amount determined under subsection (a) of this
section multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the member's yem·s of
credited service pmticipation and the denominator of which is ten (10). The reduction provided by
this subsection cannot reduce the maximum benefit below 10% of the limit determined without regard
to this subsection. The reduction provided for in this subsection shall not be applicable to
pre-retirement disability benefits paid pursuant to Sec. 2-268, or pre-retirement death benefits paid
pursuant to Sec. 2-267.
(g) Participation in Other Defined Benefit Plans. The limit of this section with respect to
any member who at any time has been a member in any other defined benefit plan as defined in IRC

benefit plans in which the member has been a member were payable from one plan.
(h) Ten Thousand Donar ($10,000) Limit,· Less Than Ten Years of Service.
Notwithstanding anything in this section 2-274, the retirement benefit payable with respect to a
member shall be deemed not to exceed the limit set fmth in this subsection (h) of section 2-27 4 if the
benefits payable, with respect to such member under this system and under all other qualified defined
benefit pension plans to which the City contlibutes, do not exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for
the applicable f)lan limitation year and for any p1ior f)lan limitation yem· and the City has not any time
maintained a qualified defined cont1ibution plan in which the member pmticipated; provided, however,
that if the member has completed less than ten (10) years of credited service with the City, the limit
under this subsection (h) of section 2-274 shall be a reduced limit equal to ten thousand dollars
($10,000) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the member's years of
credited service and the denominator of which is ten (10).
(i) Reduction of Benefits. Reduction of benefits and/or contl·ibutions to all plans, where
required, shall be accomplished by first reducing the member's benefit under any defined benefit plans
in which member pmticipated, such reduction to be made first with respect to the plan in which
member most recently accrued benefits and thereafter in such priority as shall be determined by the
-4-
AGENDA ITEM# 7D
JULY 14, 2014
board and the plan administrator of such other plans, and next, by reducing or allocating excess
fmfeitures for defined contribution plans in which the member pmiicipated, such reduction to be made
first with respect to the plan in which member most recently accrued benefits and thereafter in such
priority as shall be established by the board and the plan administrator for such other plans provided,
however, that necessary reductions may be made in a different manner and priority pursuant to the
agreement of the board and the plan administrator of all other plans covering such member.

beginning after December 31, 1997, if a member makes one or more contributions to
purchase permissive service credit under the system, as allowed in Sections 2-283, and
2-284, then the requirements of this section will be treated as met only if:
a. the requirements of IRC Section 415(b) m·e met, determined by treating the
accrued benefit derived from all such contributions as an annual benefit for
purposes of IRC Section 415(b ), or
b. the requirements of IRC Section 415(c) are met, determined by treating all
such contributions as annual additions for purposes of IRC Section 415( c).
e;-For purposes of applying subparagraph (j)(1)a.;, the System will not fail to meet the
reduced limit under IRC Section 415(b)(2)(C) solely by reason of this subparagraph e;-,
and for purposes of applying subpm·agraph (j)(l)b. the System will not fail to meet the
percentage limitation under Section 415(c)(l)(B) of the IRC solely by reason of this
subparagraph e-.
(2) For purposes of this subsection the term "permissive service credit" means service
credit-
a. recognized by the system for purposes of calculating a member's benefit under
the plan,
b. which such member has not received under the plan, and
c. which such member may receive only by making a voluntary additional
contribution, in an amount determined under the system, which does not
exceed the amount necessm-y to fund the benefit attributable to such service
credit.
Effective for permissive service credit contributions made in limitation years
beginning after December 31, 1997, such term may, if otherwise provided by the
system, include service credit for periods for which there is no performance of service,
and, notwithstanding clause (j)(2)b., may include service credited in order to provide

to an employee by an employer for which the employer is required to furnish the
employee a written statement under IRC Sections 604l(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052
and will be determined without regard to any rules under IRC Section 3401(a) that
limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the
employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor
in IRC Section 3401(a)(2).
a. However, for calendar limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997,
compensation will also include amounts that would otherwise be included

after December 31, 2000, compensation will also include any elective
amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the employee by
reason ofiRC Section 132(f)(4).

employee's regular working hours, or compensation for services
outside the employee's regular working hours (such as overtime or
shift differential), commissions, bonuses or other similar payments,
and, absent a severance from employment, the payments would have
been paid to the employee while the employee continued in
employment with the employer; or
2. the payment is for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other
leave that the employee would have been able to use if employment
had continued.
c. Back pay, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.415(c)-2(g)(8), shall be treated as compensation for the limitation
year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages
and compensation that would otherwise be included under this definition.
( 4 .f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the board may modify a
request by a member to make a contribution to the system if the amount of the
contribution would exceed the limits provided in IRC Section 415 by using the
following methods:
a. If the law requires a lump sum payment for the purchase of service credit, the
board may establish a pe1iodic payment deduction plan for the member to
avoid a contribution in excess of the limits under IRC Sections 415(c) or
415(n).
b. If payment pursuant to subparagraph (j)(4)a. (k)(2)a. will not avoid a
cont1ibution in excess of the limits imposed by IRC Section 415(c), the board
may either reduce the member's contribution to an amount within the limits of
that section or refuse the member's contribution.

which is in part or in whole based upon any service with respect to which the member
is already receiving, or will receive in the future, a retirement benefit or pension from
a different employer's retirement system or plan. This restriction does not apply to
social security beriefits or federal benefits under Chapter 67, Title 10, U.S. Code.

SECTION 2: That Chapter 2, Administration, Article VI, Employee Benefits, Division
4, Police Officers' Retirement Plan, of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Atlantic Beach, is
hereby amended to amend Section 2-310.4, Maximum Pension, subsection to read
as follows:
Sec. 2-310.4. Maximum pension.
(a) Basic limitation. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this system to the
contrary, the member contributions paid to, and retirement benefits paid from, the system shall be
limited to such extent as may be necessary to conform to the requirements of IRC Section 415 for
a qualified retirement plan. Before January 1, 1995, a plan member may not receive an annual
benefit that exceeds the limits specified in IRC Section 415(b ), subject to the applicable
adjustments in that section. On and after January 1, 1995, a plan member may not receive an
annual benefit that exceeds the dollar amount specified in IRC Section 415(b)(1)(A) ($160,000),
subject to the applicable adjustments in IRC Section 415(b) and subject to any additional limits
that may be specified in this System. For purposes of this section, "limitation year" shall be the
calendar year.
For purposes of Code Section 415(b), the "annual benefit" means a benefit payable
annually in the form of a straight life annuity (with no ancillary benefits) without regard to the
benefit attributable to after-tax employee contributions (except pursuant to Code Section 415(n)
and to rollover contributions (as defined in Code Section 415(b)(2)(A)). The "benefit
attributable" shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations.
(b) Adjustments to basic limitation for form of benefit. If the benefit under the plan is
other than the annual benefit described in subsection (a), then the benefit shall be adjusted so that it
is the equivalent of the annual benefit, using factors prescribed in Treasury Regulations. If the
form of the benefit without regard to any automatic benefit increase feature is not a straight life
annuity or a qualified joint and survivor annuity, then the preceding sentence is applied by either
reducing the Code Section 415(b) limit applicable at the annuity starting date or adjusting the form
of benefit to an actuarially equivalent amount (determined using the assumptions specified in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(b )-1 ( c)(2)(ii)) that takes into account the additional benefits
under the form ofbenefit as follows:
(1) For a benefit paid in a form to which section 417(e)(3) of the code does not apply
(generally, a monthly benefit), the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity
benefit that is the greater of:
2
AGENDA ITEM# 7E
JULY 14, 2014
a. The annual amount of the straight life annuity (if any) payable to the
member under the plan commencing at the same annuity starting date as the
form of benefit to the member, or
b. The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the same
annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of
benefit payable to the member, computed using a 5 percent interest
assumption (or the applicable statutory interest assumption) and (i) for
years prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mortality tables described in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or
any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of
Revenue Rulings 2001-62), and (ii) for years after December 31, 2008, the
applicable mortality tables described in section 417(e)(3)(B) of the code
(Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance
implementing section 417(e)(3)(B) of the code); or
(2) For a benefit paid in a form to which section 417(e)(3) of the code applies
(generally, a lump sum benefit), the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity
benefit that is the greatest of:
a. The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity
starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form
of benefit payable, computed using the interest rate and mortality table, or
tabular factor, specified in the plan for actuarial experience;
b. The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity
starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form
of benefit payable, computed using a 5.5 percent interest assumption (or the
applicable statutory interest assumption) and (i) for years prior to January 1,
2009, the applicable mortality tables for the distribution under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (the mortality table specified in
Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the
applicable provisions of Revenue Ruling 2001-62), and (ii) for years after
December 31, 2008, the applicable mortality tables described in section
417(e)(3)(B) of the code (Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal
Revenue Service guidance implementing section 417( e )(3)(B) of the code);
or
c. The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity
starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form
of benefit payable (computed using the applicable interest rate for the
distribution under Treasury Regulation Section 1.417(e)-1(d)(3) (the
30-year Treasury rate (prior to January 1, 2007, using the rate in effect for
the month prior to retirement, and on and after January 1, 2007, using the
rate in effect for the first day of the plan year with a one-year stabilization
period)) and (i) for years prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mortality
tables for the distribution under Treasury Regulation Section
1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (the mortality table specified in Revenue Ruling 2001-62
or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of

ill The actuary may adjust the 415(b) limit at the annuity starting date in accordance
with subsections (1) and (2) above.
(c) Benefits not taken into account. For purposes of this Section, the following
benefits shall not be taken into account in applying these limits:
(1) Any ancillary benefit which is not directly related to retirement income benefits;
(2) Any other benefit not required under §415(b )(2) of the IRC and Regulations
thereunder to be taken into account for purposes of the limitation of IRC Section
415(b)(l); and
ill That portion of any joint and survivor annuity that constitutes a qualified joint and
survivor annuity.
(d) CO LA effect. Effective on and after January 1, 2003, for purposes of applying the
limits under IRC Section 415(b) (the "Limit"), the following will apply:
(1) A member's applicable limit will be applied to the member's annual benefit in the
member's first calendar limitation year of benefit payments without regard to any
automatic cost of living adjustments;
(2) thereafter, in any subsequent calendar limitation year, a member's annual benefit,
including any automatic cost of living increases, shall be tested under the then
applicable benefit limit including any adjustment to the IRC Section 415(b )(1 )(A)
dollar limit under IRC Section 415(d), and the regulations thereunder; but
(3) in no event shall a member's benefit payable under the system in any calendar
limitation year be greater than the limit applicable at the annuity starting date, as
increased in subsequent years pursuant to IRC Section 415( d) and the regulations
thereunder.
Unless otherwise specified in the system, for purposes of applying the limits under IRC
Section 415(b ), a Member's applicable limit will be applied taking into consideration cost of living
increases as required by Section 415(b) of the IRC and applicable Treasury Regulations.
(e) Other adjustments in limitations.
(1) In the event the member's retirement benefits become payable before age sixty-two
(62), the limit prescribed by this section shall be reduced in accordance with
regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to the provisions of
IRC Section 415(b) of the IRC, so that such limit (as so reduced) equals an annual
straight life benefit (when such retirement income benefit begins) which is
equivalent to a one hundred sixty thousand dollar ($160,000) annual benefit
beginning at age sixty-two (62).
(2) In the event the member's benefit is based on at least fifteen (15) years of credited
service as a full-time employee of the police department of the City, the
adjustments provided for in (e)(1) above shall not apply.

AGENDA ITEM# 7E
JULY 14, 2014
(3) The reductions provided for in (e)(1) above shall not be applicable to disability
benefits pursuant to Sec. 2-307, or pre-retirement death benefits paid pursuant to
Sec. 2-306.
(4) In the event the member's retirement benefit becomes payable after age sixty-five
(65), for purposes of determining whether this benefit meets the limit set forth in
subsection (a) herein, such benefit shall be adjusted so that it is actuarially
equivalent to the benefit beginning at age sixty-five (65). This adjustment shall be
made in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Treasury
or his delegate.
(f) Less than ten (10) years of participation or ser;iee. The maximum retirement
benefits payable under this section to any member who has completed less than ten (10) years of
credited service participation with the City shall be the amount determined under subsection (a) of
this section multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of the member's years of
credited service participation and the denominator ofwhich is ten (10). The reduction provided
by this subsection cannot reduce the maximum benefit below 10% of the limit determined without
regard to this subsection. The reduction provided for in this subsection shall not be applicable to
pre-retirement disability benefits paid pursuant to Sec. 2-307, or pre-retirement death benefits paid
pursuant to Sec. 2-306.
(g) Participation in other defined benefit plans. The limit of this section with respect
to any member who at any time has been a member in any other defined benefit plan as defined in
IRC Section 414(j) maintained by the City shall apply as if the total benefits payable under all City
defined benefit plans in which the member has been a member were payable from one plan.
(h) Ten thousand dollar ($10,000) limit; less than ten years of service.
Notwithstanding anything in this section 2-310.4, the retirement benefit payable with respect to a
member shall be deemed not to exceed the limit set forth in this subsection (h) of section 2-310.4 if
the benefits payable, with respect to such member under this system and under all other qualified
defined benefit pension plans to which the City contributes, do not exceed ten thousand dollars
($1 0,000) for the applicable j3loo limitation year and for any prior j3loo limitation year and the City
has not any time maintained a qualified defined contribution plan in which the member
participated; provided, however, that if the member has completed less than ten (1 0) years of
credited service with the City, the limit under this subsection (h) of section 2-310.4 shall be a
reduced limit equal to ten thousand dollars ($1 0,000) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of the member's years of credited service and the denominator of which is ten
(10).
(i) Reduction of benefits. Reduction of benefits and/or contributions to all plans,
where required, shall be accomplished by first reducing the member's benefit under any defined
benefit plans in which member participated, such reduction to be made first with respect to the plan
in which member most recently accrued benefits and thereafter in such priority as shall be
determined by the board and the plan administrator of such other plans, and next, by reducing or
allocating excess forfeitures for defined contribution plans in which the member participated, such
reduction to be made first with respect to the plan in which member most recently accrued benefits
and thereafter in such priority as shall be established by the board and the plan administrator for
such other plans provided, however, that necessary reductions may be made in a different manner
and priority pursuant to the agreement of the board and the plan administrator of all other plans
covering such member.

2-310.15 and 2-310.16, then the requirements ofthis section will be treated as met
only if:
a. the requirements of IRC Section 415(b) are met, determined by treating the
accrued benefit derived from all such contributions as an annual benefit for
purposes of IRC Section 415(b ), or
b. the requirements ofiRC Section 415(c) are met, determined by treating all
such contributions as annual additions for purposes of IRC Section 415 (c).
&. For purposes of applying subparagraph (j)(l )a.-;, the System will not fail to meet the
reduced limit under IRC Section 415(b )(2)(C) solely by reason of this
subparagraph &., and for purposes of applying subparagraph (j)(l)b. the System

contribution, in an amount determined under the system, which does not
exceed the amount necessary to fund the benefit attributable to such service
credit.

system, include service credit for periods for which there is no performance of
service, and, notwithstanding clause (j)(2)b., may include service credited in order

definition.
( 4 2.) Notwithstanding any other provision oflaw to the contrary, the board may modify a
request by a member to make a contribution to the system if the amount of the
contribution would exceed the limits provided in IRC Section 415 by using the
following methods:
a. If the law requires a lump sum payment for the purchase of service credit,
the board may establish a periodic payment deduction plan for the member
to avoid a contribution in excess of the limits under IRC Sections 415( c) or
415(n).
b. If payment pursuant to subparagraph (j)(4)a. (k)(2)a. will not avoid a

BACKGROUND: At the April14, 2014 Regular City Commission Meeting, the City
Manager reported that he had been working with the City's Financial Advisor, Dunlap &

The estimated present value savings to the City at the lowest rate proposed of 2.33% is
$1,423,950 or an annual debt service savings of approximately $145,000 through loan payoff
in 2025. The outstanding balance of the bonds to be refinanced is approximately $14 million.
The interest rates on these bonds are variable from 3.625% to 4.500% on the Series 2004 and
fixed of3.590% and 3.68% on the Series 2010A-1 and Series 2010B, respectively.
The City may only incur debt by ordinance, per the City's Charter. Subject and pursuant to
the provisions of this Ordinance, the City is authorized to incur a Loan and to issue the Bonds
in evidence, thereof, upon substantially the terms of the Loan Agreement attached hereto as

Dear Nelson,
Utilities System Revenue Refunding Bond, Series 2014
Letter of Recommendation
A GENDA ITEM II 7F
J ULY 14 ,2014
Dun lap & Associates, Inc. ha s reviewed the proposals submitted by the Bank of America, J .P. Morgan
Chase Bank, Sun Trust and TD Bank. (See attached Summary of Responses)
As yo u will note , TD Bank's Op ti on I provided the lowest rate of2.33% for the Utilities Sys tem Revenue
Refunding Bond , Seri es 20 I 4 ("20 I 4 Bond"), based on a fonnula that uses the I 0 year Libor Swap Rate
as a benclunark . The I 0 year Libor Swap rate is a variab le rate which changes depending on market
condi ti ons, therefore th e 2.33 % interest rate may vary up until the tim e the rate is set. The pre sent value
savings to the City at the 2.33% rate is $1 ,423,950 or 9.57% of refunded bonds .
We recommend that the City accept TO Ba nk's Opt ion 1, ba sed on the fa ct that TD Bank offers the
lowest rate. lf approved , the 2014 Bond is scheduled to close on August 1 8, 2014 .
Please feel free to ca U with any que stions. We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City of
Atlantic Beach, Florida.

J ULY 14,2014
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance No. 5-14-61: Amending C hapter 2 of the
Code of Ordinances, Administration, Article II, City
Commission, Sec. 2-16, Time and Place of Reg u lar
meetings, to provide for two regular meetings.
SUBMITTED BY: Nelson Van Li ere, City Manager ~
DATE: June 17,2014
BACKGROUND: At the June 9, 20 14 mee tin g, the C ity Co mmi ss ion di sc ussed proposed ·
Ordinance No. 5-14-61 an d decided to tab le the item until a ful l comm iss io n cou ld be
present and to g ive Staff th e opportunity to make some adjustments to the presentation of
the age nda i tern s.
As previou s ly stated, th e goa l of the Staff and Com mi ssion is to work together to produce
an age nd a th at is both inform ativ e to the pub lic and all ows for business to be effi cien tl y
ca rried o n month to month . lt is clear that giving ample time for th e public to weigh in on
imp ortant issues is a priority in Atlantic Beach . As a res ul t of di scu ss ions from the
previous meetin gs, Staff has come up with a better way to meet th ose need s. Upo n
approva l of the att ac hed o rdinan ce, Staff can pr epare agend as that wi ll ensure items of
sign ifi cant importance are discussed thoroughl y and that those of a routine nature can
move forward.
The attached outlin e entitled : Agenda Preparation Guidelines has been amended to
reflect recent di scuss ions an d will be used as a guidel in e for age nd a preparation. This
chart indicates how eac h type of item is to be considered in the compi lati on of the agend a .
Upon examination of th e guide lin es, yo u can see that most items, with th e exceptio n of
Action on Ordinances and Miscellaneous Business items, would ap p ea r only once.
Ordinances represen t the creat ion of legis lation and are required to be heard more than
once. Miscellaneous Business item s represent a variety of item s with va ryin g significance
from agenda to age nd a. ln thi s Miscellaneous Business sect ion of th e agenda is where we
pro po se to give special attentio n.
As a so lution to the problem o f cnsUting mi scellaneo us items arc highli g ht ed a nd
discussed in a m ann er that gives approp tiate att enti on to them , Staff reviewed th e rules
fo und in our code and determined that the existing agend a has a provi s ion for thi s, but that
it has not bee n use d for thi s purpo se. It em #3 on the Agenda Outlin e wa s placed there to
co ns id er any unfini shed business from the prev ious meetings. CatT yover items would be
placed in this sec ti on of the agenda in the ord er that they app ear ed in a previous meeting.
Hems th at otigi nated in a special category such as Resolutions or Ordinances would stay
in their respective age nda ca tego rie s. Th e pro cess would be to place the appropriate item s
on th e age nd a und er #8 Miscellaneous Business. Th ey wou ld be di scussed and
co nsid ered as it ems th e com mi ssion wo uld want to move forward to the next age nd a. The
su bsequent meetin g would then in clud e tho se sa me it ems in #3 Unfinished Business
sectio n of th e Agen da Outline.
BUDGET:
AGENDA ITEM II 711
JULY 14 .2014
Sta f f will also impl ement the revised dead lin es di scussed in the previous meeting to a ll ow
the Co mmi ss io ners and the publi c an extra five to seven (5 -7) days to rev iew the agenda
before the mee tin g to all ow for input and qu es tio ns to be answered . Thi s extra ti me will
prove sign ifi cant for those involved in the preparations for a meeting. T he deadline for
submi ssion of all agenda item s from either the Co mmi ssion or staff, wou ld be the
Wedn es da y (13 days) pri or to th e com mi ss ion meeting. T he age nd a wou ld then be
pu blis hed and di sbursed on th e Friday after th e d ead line. All items to be co ns idered on
th e agend a will be subm itted by the deadline in final format form.
Also, as a result of the comments made at the May meeting, Staff has amended the
prop osed ord in a nc e to reflect the origi nal meeting time as 6:30 p.m.
In the even t that the Commi ssion chooses to cal l for a workshop , the expectat ion would be
to have those o n the same meeting nights as th e regularly scheduled meeting unless
specifi ca lly requ ested for ano th er time. Thi s wi ll limit th e strain on the com mi ss ioner's
schedule to on ly two ni g hts a month in norma l ci rcum stances. Th e short e r age nd a and the
expectation of doing City bu siness two ni ghts a month sho uld stream lin e the process for

*Exceptions:
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 (COB} meeting so the COB can make a recommendation to the Commission. They also require two public
hearings at City Commission meetings.
**
Notes:
Use-by-exceptions will be on the Commission Agenda twice. The first time, as a discussion only item and the
second time, as a public hearing and action item.
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.

AGENDA ITEM# 7 A
MAY 12,2014
6. Ordinances reguire 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 3 0 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 8:00a.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

North Florida Utilities Coordination Group
Summary of Activities and Accomplishments as of June 2014
Rulemaking Participation
AGENDA ITEM# 8A
JULY 14, 2014
• Participated in several Rule-Making processes, including the statewide Consumptive Use
Permit Consistency Rule (CUPCON), which was passed by SJRWMD Board on 6/10/14.
Educational Assistance
• We educated stakeholders and both Water Management Districts on utility concerns,
such as the need for long range planning to fund major capital projects-and the need
for certainty with regard to the sustainable availability of water for our customers.
SJRWMD Water Supply Plan
• Policy review and technical analysis regarding the proposed Water Supply Plan that
includes the entire Northeast Florida Region as a Water Resource Caution Area.
Minimum Flows and Levels (MFLs)
• Clay/Putnam County MFLs-We participated in numerous Technical Group, Modeling
Group, Implementation Workgroup and Stakeholder committee meetings. Our
engineers provided technical and modeling work to:
o Demonstrate the importance of long-term climatic cycles on water levels and
MFLs
o Provide more scientifically defensible MFLs
o Develop low cost, feasible solutions
• Lower Santa Fe and ltchetucknee Rivers MFLs-Concurrently, NFUCG and our
consultants have been working with the Suwannee River Water Management District
(SWRMD) along with SJRWMD and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)
on MFLs for the Lower Santa Fe River and ltchetucknee Rivers and other springs. Similar
to our work with the Clay/Putnam MFLs, we have participated in numerous meetings,
conducted engineering work and provided information and presentations.
o NFUCG hired a consultant to conduct an MFL Economic Analysis of SRWMD's
proposed prevention/recovery strategy.
o We provided critical review of the Lower Santa Fe River MFLs and helped DEP
develop a feasible Recovery Strategy, with estimated compliance costs
o Quantified the benefits of Public Supply conservation in North Florida
• North Florida Regional Supply Partnership-provided engineering, technical and legal
services related to a joint Groundwater Flow Model for the two Water Management
Districts. Included work on MFL Prevention/Recovery Strategy.
AGENDA ITEM # SA
JULY 14,2014
• North Florida/Southeast Georgia Model Development-we helped charter the next
generation groundwater model for North Florida and Southeast Georgia. We provided
technical review on models showing the effect of withdrawals from the Floridan Aquifer
in Southeast Georgia, which impact the North Florida region.
Looking Ahead 2015 through 2017
The NFUCG will continue to work with the two Water Management Districts technically as well
as providing policy and legal review of potential regulations. Some of the planned items include:
• Reevaluation of the Clay-Putnam MFLs and Prevention Plan
• Completion of the North Florida Southeast Georgia Groundwater Model
• Technical work on the North Florida Regional Water Supply Partnership Water Supply
Plan
o Demand Projections
o Water Resources Assessment
o Strategies and Project Evaluations
o Apportionment
• Technical review of SRWMD's Union/Bradford County Lake MFLs
• Reevaluation of Lower Santa Fe River MFL and Recovery Strategy
• Springs and Outstanding Florida Water Legislation-technical and legal reviews

was to terminate on September 30, 2014. Upon execution of this Agreement the 2011 MOA
shall terminate as of the Effective Date of this Agreement and the parties shall be bound only by
this Agreement and not the 2011 MOA.
NOW, THEREFORE, the OWNERS and JEA agree as follows:
1. The foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this
reference to the same.
2. Services. JEA hereby agrees to administer consultant and legal services contracts
for the OWNERS as described in the Scope of Services (the "Scopes"), which will be attached as
consultant Exhibit A hereto, after being approved and finalized by JEA and all OWNERS, and
which shall become a part hereof when attached hereto. The OWNERS and JEA understand that
Exhibit A may be modified and/or additional Scopes may be added at a future date, in
accordance with the provisions set forth in paragraphs 4, 6 and 8 herein. In the role of
administrator ofthe consultant and legal contracts, JEA will (1) act as the primary contact for the
contracts, (2) will relay the prioritization of tasks as set by the OWNERS, (3) coordinate
progress meetings and other activities relating to project status and (4) pay the invoices
submitted by the consultants, subject to the reimbursement of the costs by the other OWNERS,
in the percentages as set forth in paragraph 6 herein.
3. Limitations. Prioritization of tasks included in the Scopes and overall direction

for the following full three (3) years of the Agreement (Fiscal Years 2015, 2016 and 2017).
Exhibit A contains a draft scope of services for these activities. This scope will be updated and
adjusted as needed by the committee. Decisions to add additional services within the Scopes,
but subject to and limited by the Total Costs Amount, will require at least a majority vote of the
OWNERS. The addition of Scopes above the Total Costs Amount will require written
modification of this Agreement and the approval of the OWNERS by at least a 5/8 (0.625)
majority vote. In the event that additional Scopes above the Total Costs Amount are so
approved, any dissenting OWNER may elect to withdraw from this Agreement in accordance
with the requirements of paragraph 1 0 hereof.
5. Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be July 11,2014.

Contingency Contract Extension for Disaster Debris Removal Services
and Transfer of Contract from Byrd Brothers to Ceres Environmental
Douglas E. Layton, P .E., Director of Public Works
June 16, 2014
BACKGROUND: In 201 1, the City awarded contingency contracts for Disaster Debris
Removal Services to Byrd Brothers as primary contractor and to Ash Britt, In c . as secondary
contractor. The origina l contract was for three years and allowed for one renewal not t o exceed
three years, with allowance to annually adjust bid prices at the Contractor's request by a
percentage up to the Consumer Price Ind ex-Urban Consumers (CPI-U). Neither contractor
has requested price adjustments . During this past year, Byrd Brothers assets and contracts are
being transferred to Ceres Environmental Services, Inc.
The bid required the successful bidder to begin initial clearance of storm-related debris
from critical roadways identified by the City of Atlantic Beach within twenty-four (24) hours of
receipt of notice to proceed .
BUDGET: This is a Pre-Event I Contingency contract and would be executed on an
emergency I as needed basis. No funds are appropriated in advance for disaster deb ris
cleanup.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a three year extension for both
contingency contracts awa rding the primary contract to Ceres Environmental Services, with
AshBritt as backup and authorizing the City Manger to sign the contract extens ions and the
con tract transfer agreement for the City.
