No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x
2. Recognition of visitors:
Jerome Sternberg, 1244 Linkside Drive, said he had reported a
drainage problem on Lot 9, Selva Linkside, to the city fifteen
months ago. This lack of drainage on Lot 9 caused water to stand
on his property. The situation has deteriorated and now includes
Lot 8, and the stagnant water and mosquitos have made it impossible
for Mr. Sternberg to use his back yard.
Public Services Director Bob Kosoy said he was familiar with the
situation and felt the drainage problem on Selva Linkside was
something which needed to be handled by Mr. MacDonell. Mr.
Sternberg pointed out that water was not draining off the adjoining
city property either. After further discussion of the matter, City
Manager Kim Leinbach and Bob Kosoy were instructed to meet with Mr.
MacDonell and attempt to work out a solution to the problem.
Jim Lucas, 2355 Ocean Forest Drive West, thanked the Police
Department for their attention to a recent problem in his
neighborhood, and complimented them on their professionalism.
Dezmond Waters inquired whether anyone had yet signed the covenants
restricting development on four lots in Ocean Grove to single
family residences. City Attorney Alan Jensen reported that a
change had to be made in the document but that some covenants had
been signed.
Mr. Waters also inquired into the status of the proposed Beach
Avenue water and sewer project and was advised this would be
included in the next fiscal year budget.

MINUTES NAME OF
JULY 22, 1991 COMMRS. MSYN
Mr. Waters also said he thought the well for Ocean Grove was
leaking and felt Mr. Kosoy should check into it.
Robert Bergin, 831 Begonia Street, said that Begonia street had not
been paved in the Section H improvement project. The street had
bad potholes and was badly in need of grading. Mayor Gulliford
said he would check to see if he had a grader which he could lend
to the city for this work.
3. Appearances:
A. Edward Ash of Ash Properties, to discuss the dunes at Tiffany
by the Sea
Mr. Ash said the dunes on three of the Tiffany by the Sea lots were
very high and he wished to push the sand seaward to reduce the
height of these lots and bring them more into line with the
surrounding area. Architect Tom Reidenbach said a single family
residence built on top of the dunes would be similar in height to a
seven story building.
Alan Jensen said the State of Florida had already granted
permission to lower the dunes, but had requested a letter advising
that the city did not have an ordinance that would prohibit
lowering the dune.
After further discussion, the City Attorney was asked to render a
legal opinion to Mr. Ash advising whether he could lower the dune.
4. Old Business:
A. Consideration of action by City Commission relative to Section
H.
The City Manager presented a summary of requests from Section H
property owners regarding the water and sewer assessments, along
with his recommendations on each request. Mayor Gulliford reviewed
the requests and recommendations and asked the wishes of the City
Commission.
Motion: Approve the recommendations of the City Manager Weldon x
regarding the water and sewer assessments as
presented
The motion died for lack of a second.

6. Ordinances:
A. Ordinance No. 90-91-155 -Final reading and public hearing
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA; AMENDING CHAPTER 24, ZONING AND
SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS; AMENDING ARTICLE II, SECTION 24-17,
DEFINITIONS, PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
Mayor Gulliford presented in full, in writing, Ordinance No.
90-91-155, said ordinance having been posted in accordance with
Charter requirements. He opened the floor for a public hearing and
invited comments from the audience. There being no one wishing to
speak for or against the ordinance, the Mayor declared the public
hearing closed. Cook x

CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY KNOWN AS TRACT B AND TRACT C, CASTRO Y
FERRER GRANT, FROM RG-2 AND CPO TO CL; AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING
MAP TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Before acting on the ordinance, Mayor Gulliford pointed out the
Community Development Board had recommended approval and that
access to the new postal facility from Plaza be restricted to
employees only.
Cook x
Motion: Accept the recommendations of the Community Edwards x x
Development Board regarding rezoning as requested by Tucker x x
the United States Postal Service Weldon x
Gulliford x
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the difficulty in accessing
the building from various directions. Mayor Gulliford felt if
access from Plaza was limited, it would be very difficult to get to
the building from West Plaza, especially at rush hours when traffic
would be lined up in the center turn lane on Mayport Road.
Chief Thompson felt the traffic on Plaza was already very heavy due
to the Jiffy store and the Amoco station and felt the additional
traffic from the post office would exacerbate the problem; however
he felt widening of the road or redesigning turn lanes would be
helpful.
After further discussion, the question was called and the motion
carried unanimously.

ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, AMENDING CHAPTER 2,

Gulliford x
The City Manager explained the changes had been recommended by the
Pension Board and would allow the board to make investments in
qualified stocks in an amount not to exceed 40% and 60% investment
in cash and bonds. The board felt this would result in better
returns on investments. The question was called and the motion
carried on a 4 - 1 vote with Commissioner Tucker voting nay.
7. Committee Reports:
A. Adele Grage Community Center report
Commissioner Weldon reported the committee had recommended that the
program regarding improvement and uses for the Community Center be
approached in three phases. Phase 1 would be to restore the basic
structure, Phase 2 would be the implementation of general uses, and
Phase 3 would be to review the situation after one year to see if
any changes were recommended.
Under Phase 1 Commissioner Weldon requested that Parks & Recreation
Director Rose Blanchard be authorized to request a termite
inspection. It had been determined the building would require a
new roof and the committee recommended the chimney be inspected for
structural integrity. Other committee recommendations included
installing new window drapes, seat cushions for wooden chairs and
window benches, replacing carpeting throughout the building with
the exception of the former Commission Chambers, and erecting an
appropriate sign on the building. Ms. Blanchard was getting quotes
for this work and well as checking into whether the metal chairs
could be electrostatically painted.

No further discussion. The motion carried unanimously.
B. Report and recommendation by Awards Committee Chairman,
Commissioner Glenn Edwards relative to:
1. Bid No. 9091-21 for widening Main Street, and consultant
inspection services
Commissioner Edwards reported eight bids had been received and upon
review and evaluation of the bids, it was the committee's
recommendation that the City Commission accept the low bid from the
Walding Company of Jacksonville as the best bid for the widening
and repaving of Main Street and make award accordingly.
Motion: Award contract to the Walding Company for widening Cook x
and repaving of Main Street in the total amount of Edwards x x
$123,561.95 Weldon x x
Gulliford x
Commissioner Tucker declared a conflict of interest in that she
owned property on Main Street, and did not vote on the matter.
Form 8B, Memorandum of Voting Conflict, has been completed and is
attached hereto. The question was called and the motion carried on
a 4 - 0 vote with Commissioner Tucker abstaining.
Mr. Kosoy said it would be necessary to approve inspection services
for the project and recommended the city accept the proposal of
Connelly and Wicker for this service
Cook x x
Motion: Authorize Connelly and Wicker to provide inspection Edwards x x
services on the Main Street widening and repaving Tucker x
project Weldon x
Gulliford x
No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously.
2. Bid 9091-25 Furnish and install palm trees
Commissioner Edwards reported five bids ranging from $14,400.00 to
$26,000.00 had been received. The bidders were contacted by
telephone in an attempt to determine the reason for the wide
difference in the low and high bids. It was discovered the two low
bidders had received information which caused them to assume the
city would provide watering. It was, therefore, the consensus of
the committee the City Commission should reject all bids and re-bid
the project. Cook x
Edwards x x
Motion: Reject all bids for the furnishing and installation Tucker x
of forty palm trees on Atlantic Boulevard and re-bid Weldon x x
the project Gulliford x
•

No further discussion. The motion carried unanimously.
In further discussion, the Mayor said he had learned that the cost
of a 6-foot palm tree would be much less than the 6-foot trunk
height requested in the specification. He also suggested the
revised specification require Terrasorb, a moisture retaining
product, or equal, be added to the soil.
C. Mayport Naval Commissary/Exchange complex application for
sewer service
Commissioner Weldon reported that he, the City Manager and Finance
Director had met with representatives of the Navy in an effort to
negotiate a contract covering the 400 housing units, which would be
fair to both the Navy and the city, and which would reflect costs
similar to those paid by other citizens for similar facilities. He
said he had learned that the Navy had added 26 mobile units to the
complex.
Commissioner Weldon reported the Navy had no objections to paying
the regular water and sewer connection fees to the commissary/
exchange complex. He said the contracting officer would begin
immediately to determine how and if he could justify a rate
increase for the housing units which would be comparable to the
rates now applicable to all other tenants and citizens in that
area. Mr. Weldon expected to have a response in about two weeks.
He had received a letter from the Navy which confirmed the Navy
understood it would be at least 90 days before the Sea Gardens lift
station would be completed and service would be available.
8. Resolutions:
A. Resolution No. 91-21: A RESOLUTION TRANSFERRING CERTAIN
MONIES BETWEEN FUNDS
Finance Director Royal explained the budget adjustment was to
add to provide additional budget to the grant funds for the
Comprehensive Planning grant and CDBG grants.
Mayor Gulliford presented Resolution No. 91-21 in full, in writing.
Cook x
Motion: Approve passage of Resolution No. 91-21 Edwards x x
Tucker x x
Commissioner Cook confirmed that the city would be reimbursed by Weldon x
this state for this expenditure and Mr. Worley said this was Gulliford x
correct. The question was called and the motion carried
unanimously.
9. New Business:
A. Discussion and related action relative to setting the millage
rate
•
PAGE SEVEN V V
MINUTES NAME OF
JULY 22, 1991 COMMRS. MSYN
Finance Director Royal explained the city must set a tentative
millage rate for FY 1991/92. He pointed out the current millage
rate was 2.6624 and provided a schedule which reflected the amount
of tax revenue which would be generated at the current millage
rate, the rollback rate, and a 3% increase in both rates. Cook x x
Edwards x
Tucker x
Motion: Set tentative millage rate at 2.6624 Weldon x x

No further discussion. The motion carried unanimously
Mr. Royal pointed out the date, time and place of the public
hearing must also be set at this time. Cook x x

Motion: Set public hearing for September 16, 1991, at 7:15 Tucker x x
PM in City Hall Weldon x
Gulliford x
The motion carried unanimously.
B. Discussion and related action regarding Seminole Road drainage
improvements
Public Services Director Bob Kosoy reported due to the city's plans
to construct a sidewalk on the west side of Seminole Road, work had
been suspended in January on the drainage project. The project now
requires a redesign to construct a culvert pipe rather than a
drainage ditch. Connelly and Wicker had submitted a proposal to
complete the redesign, obtain a St. Johns River Water Management
District permit, if necessary, and prepare contract plans and
specifications for $3,000.00. Mr. Kosoy recommended execution of
contract with Connelly and Wicker for this work.
Cook x x
Motion: Authorize execution of agreement with Connelly and Edwards x
Wicker for engineering services in connection with Tucker x
Seminole Road Drainage Improvements Weldon x x
Gulliford x
In discussion before the vote, Stanley Jones, 2051 Seminole Road,
complained of standing water in his yard and along the east side of
Seminole Road. Mr. Kosoy explained the water would be drained from
the east side of Seminole Road through a culvert under the road.
Mr. Jones was invited to review the Connelly and Wicker plans.
The question was called and the motion carried unanimously.
C. Discussion and related action regarding creating/amending
existing Ordinance 12-3 relating to property liens
Code Enforcement Officer Don Ford reported the city had difficulty
collecting liens placed on properties for land clearing. He said
owners had ignored the bills and the city had no leverage in making
the collections. Mr. Ford suggested suspending city services until
liens are paid or in the case of vacant properties, building
•
PAGE EIGHT V V
MINUTES NAME OF
JULY 22, 1991 COMMAS. MSYN
permits would not be issued until the liens were satisfied.
After further discussion, Mr. Ford was directed to contact the
Florida League of Cities to see if they could offer any suggestions
how this might be handled. The City Attorney was also requested to
review the matter to see whether the city could legally disconnect
water to these properties.
D. Discussion and related action regarding disposal of
confiscated firearms
Chief Thompson reported that the Police Department had accumulated
a variety of confiscated firearms. The City Code does not
specifically deal with the disposal of firearms and Chief Thompson
requested an amendment to the city code to allow the Police
Department to trade the firearms to licensed firearms dealers in
exchange for needed equipment and supplies, thus, reducing the cost
of supplies to the city. Cook x x
Edwards x x
Motion: Draft ordinance to allow disposal of firearms Tucker x
through licensed firearms dealers Weldon x
Gulliford x
No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously.
E. Discussion and related action regarding speed bumps on 300
block on Plaza
Chief Thompson reported he had not been able to contact the
residents who had requested the speed bumps and he asked that
action on this item be deferred until the next meeting.
Mayor Gulliford complimented the Police Department, and Officer
David Archer in particular, for their professionalism in the recent
shooting in Oceanwalk. The Commissioners unanimously voiced
appreciation that the information had been provided to them in such
a timely manner so they were able to respond to comments and
questions from citizens.
F. Discussion and related action regarding proposed contract by
Synapse!
Community Development Director George Worley reported that the
Community Development Department had been attempting to create a
"Community Development Corporation" to provide loans and housing
rehabilitation assistance to the Donner Subdivision area. A major
part of this development, especially the creation and
implementation of a charter and obtaining non-profit status, would
require the professional assistance of a consultant familiar with
this process.
Mr. Worley recommended the city contract with Synapse! (formerly
known as Urban Planning Services) for this service at a cost not to
exceed $3,450.00.

No discussion before the vote. The motion carried unanimously.
10. City Manager Reports and/or correspondence:
A. Discussion and related action regarding collapsed outfall
structure at Sherman Point
Bob Kosoy reported a recent inspection of the outfall line had
revealed that twenty-two of the twenty-six supports had collapsed
and were in need of emergency repair. He had contacted Neptune
Beach and Jacksonville Beach and had received their concurrence to
make all necessary repairs and bill them in accordance with the
Interlocal Agreement.
After brief discussion it was agreed to call a special meeting when
price quotes had been received.
The City Manager provided each Commissioner with an excerpt from
minutes of the March 25, 1991 meeting when the Solid Waste
Committee had presented several recommendations regarding solid
waste disposal. Mr. Leinbach asked for direction from the City
Commission as to how he should proceed to implement these
recommendations.
It was noted the committee had recommended an increase in the rates
for commercial solid waste pick up and the City Manager was asked
to recommend increased rates and have the appropriate ordinance
drafted for action by the City Commission. Mayor Gulliford pointed
out in the recent survey made by the Solid Waste Committee, the
majority of the residents felt garbage containers should be placed
at the curb and he suggested amending the code to reflect the will
of the people. The City Manager said he would provide a status
report which may be useful when considering any changes to the
frequency of collection.
The City Manager reported he had scheduled a meeting between the
Atlantic Beach City Commission and the Neptune Beach City Council
on August 7, 1991. (This meeting has now been rescheduled for
August 8) .
The City Manager also reported a permit had been received from DNR
permitting the Dewees dune crossover which appears to be acceptable
to all parties.
Commissioner Cook inquired into the status of the Sixteenth Street
beach dune crossover and was advised this matter was scheduled for
trial in September.
•

Mr. Kosoy inquired into the progress being made to secure easements
for the Mayport Road bore and jack project. The City Attorney
reported that he was still waiting for some to be signed and Mr.
Kosoy asked if Mr. Jensen would record those easements which had
already been signed.
Mayor Gulliford inquired regarding the following:
- whether any quotes had been received for lowering the podium
in the Commission Chambers and the City Manager advised one
quote had been received and he expected to receive at least
two others.
- into the status of the review of the ordinance regarding
political signs and the City Manager reported he had
accumulated some information on this and a draft ordinance
would probably be ready for consideration by the City
Commission by the next meeting.
- the request for street lights from Twentieth Street to
Oceanwalk. The City Manager reported the Police Department
had recommended the addition of one light and this is in the
process of being implemented;
- Sidewalks on East Coast Drive between Tenth Street and Twelfth
Street. The City Manager reported he was working with a
property owner who was making some changes to his property and
hoped to be able to undertake this work in place of the
portion which had been deleted from the project at the north
end of Seminole Road;
- the investigation of the purchase of the Oak Harbor utility.
City Attorney Jensen said the city had received a proposal
from Attorney Glenn Cohen offering to represent the city in
this matter and the City Commission should take action on this
proposal. It was requested that the appropriate resolution be
drafted and brought before the City Commission for action at
the next meeting.
Commissioner Tucker inquired regarding an old JEA pole on the
northeast corner of East Coast Drive and Atlantic Boulevard and the
City Manager was directed to look into this. Dorothy Kerber asked
if the palm trees and other shrubbery which blocks the view at
intersections could be trimmed.
The Mayor reported he had received a letter regarding a drainage
pipe on Third Street which may have collapsed. He requested the
City Manager check into this problem.
The Mayor also asked the wishes of the City Commission regarding
placing a referendum on the October ballot to decide the matter of
providing a budget for charitable donations. Commissioner Weldon
•

suggested the frequency of garbage collection as a question which
might also be included on the ballot.
There being no further discussion to come before the City
Commission, the Mayor declared the meeting adjourned at 10:00 PM.
