Mayor Howell advised the Commission of a state statute recently passed
that will take effect on October 1, 1980. The statute provides that a
city may appoint a code enforcement board to hear cases of violations
of city codes; that the board is given the authority in the statute
to inform the people to correct the situation; that if the situation
is not corrected in a certain length of time, the board is authorized
to fine up to $500 per day for every day the violation takes place;
that if a fine is imposed, it becomes immediately a lien against the
property; and that if the fine is not paid in one year, the city may
move to foreclose on the property. The Commission directed the City
Manager to have prepared an Ordinance that will enable the City of
Atlantic Beach to appoint a code enforcement board, with the Ordinance
to become effective October 1, 1980.
The Mayor announced that a committee meeting of the whole would be
eld immediately following adjournment to discuss budget matters, and
nvited any interested citizens to attend.
There being no further business, the Mayor declared the meeting

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
I am in receipt of a request from the Department of Health and Rehabilitative
Services of the State of Florida, requesting the ability to lease office
space from the City of Atlantic Beach. I recognize that adequate space in the
present structure is not available, but I respectfully request the ability to
negotiate with HRS for the leasing of newly constructed office space for their
use in providing service to Beaches residents.
A copy of the Actuarial Report from Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Company covering
the City's pension program has been received and is now on file at City Hall.
The summary contents of said report state that the retirement system has made
excellent progress in the five years of its operation; however, they express
some concerns that I intend to cover more fully in conversations with the City's
t, audit firm.
Attached to your agenda file for your consideration is a budget time table
as the same has been extracted from House Bill 4-D. This Bill changes the
process and the time table from that of previous years. Contained in this
time table are suggested dates for the meetings of the Commission in its efforts
to arrive at a budget for fiscal year 1980-81.
