Item #1 - Health Insurance Mr. Moss reported that since the notification from Florida Municipal Health Trust Fund that premiums would increase 50% effective on December 1, 1982, he has requested proposals from other companies. These proposals indicate Florida Municipal Health Trust Fund is not significantly out of line. Motion: To prepare a competitive bid for health insurance. Cook x The motion carried unanimously. Gulliford x Morns--- Van Ness x x Persons x Commissioner Cook asked if anyone could write specifications for this insurance. City Manager Moss stated that he could do this.

Item #3 - Public Drinking Water System Proposed by Buccaneer Service Company, Inc. Mr. Moss requested authorization to submit a request to DER for a hearing should it be determined that the water system under develop- ment by Buccaneer Service Company might affect the capability of our existing water system. Also Mr. Moss requested policy direction as to whether the City should continue to serve areas outside of its corporate limits, and whether the system should be expanded, particularly on the west side of Mayport Road. V V� PAGE THREE Names of MINUTES Commr s. MS Y N APRIL 11, 1983 City Manager's Report - continued- Buccaneer Water System Alan Potter, Engineer for Buccaneer Water System stated that his company is presently providing utility service outside the City of Atlantic Beach , between Atlantic Beach and Mayport. The distance between separation is 1800 feet. The wells in Atlantic Beach are 900 feet deep while Buccaneer wells are just over 700 feet. There are three artesian aquifers in this district, one at 600 feet, one at 800 feet and one at 1200 feet. Permits have been received for the wells and DER has been notified and been given samples for the permit. He believes that Atlantic Beach wells could effect the wells of Buccaneer as much as vice versa. Buccaneer does not intend to serve any customers of Atlantic Beach. The Public Service Commission- regulates Buccaneer's rates. Atlantic Beach should not worry about pirating of its customers. There is no threat to the wells nor to the environment. Discussion followed. Commissioner Gulliford asked Mr. Potter what agencies were involved in this project. Mr. Potter answered the City of Jacksonville Bio-environmental Service, DER and St. Johns Water Management District. Motion:If it is determined by Mr. Bates that the water system under development by Buccaneer Water System reasonably might be expected to affect Atlantic Beach Water System, then the City Manager is instructed to ask for a hearing. Cook x Gulliford x x The motion carried unanimously. Van Ness x x Persons x Commissioner Gulliford announced a Sewer Committee meeting on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Potter was invited to attend this meeting since the water system will be further discussed at that time. **********************************************************-******** D. Item #4 - Award of Contract - Seminole Road Sidewalk Construction Mr. Moss recommended because of the large number of firms invited to bid on the project, and because of the significant difference between the lowest bid and the other two bids received, rebidding will probably not result in the receipt of a substantially lower bid. The City Manager, therefore, recommends that the contract for the Seminole Road Sidewalk construction be awarded to Jensen of Jacksonville in the amount of $24,886.10. Motion: To adopt the City Manager's recommendation and award the Cook x x contract for the Seminole Road sidewalk construction to Gulliford x x Jensen of Jacksonville in the amount of $24,886. 10. , - - The motion carried unanimously.

MS YN 1 p Miscellaneous Business Commissioner Cook asked when the Beach Avenue repaving would begin, and Mr. Moss answered hopefully tomorrow. Commissioner Gulliford reported the beach looks terrible. He asked the City Manager to take a good hard look at the problem and report back to the Commission at the next meeting as to how the clean-up of the beach will be enforced. Mr. Moss commented that the city does not have a litter Ordinance, and Mayor Persons suggested a tough enforcement of the State anti-litter law. Discussion followed on the problems including parking. Mr. Moss reported the city's dog leash law is being enforced and is showing some improvement. He warned dog owners that the Ordinance banning dogs from the beach was passed by the City Commission on 1st and 2nd readings and it merely takes a Public Hearing and passage on 3rd and final reading to completely ban dogs from the beach. He expressed the opinion that most everyone hopes this will not have to happen. Mr. Moss stated they were inviting bids for the sludge handling facilities. Specifications are prepared and will be advertised this week. He has also advertised for competitive bids for Financial Advisory services. Will open those bids in May. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the motion was made by Commissioner Gulliford to adjourn, seconded by Commissioner Van Ness, and carried unanimously.
