A. 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---

Commissioner Cook asked if anyone could write specifications for
this insurance. City Manager Moss stated that he could do this.
It would take some time to accomplish.
Alan Potter, from the audience, suggested obtaining five bids.

C. 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.

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.

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. , - -

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.
Mayor Persons declared the meeting adjourned at 9:34 p.m.
