Recognition of Visitors Combined with Correspondence A.
Mayor Pro Tem Gulliford welcomed the nearly 300 citizens from Atlantic
and North Atlantic Beaches who were present to ask the City Commission
for backing in their protest of a rezoning application made by George
Bull, agent, to the Urban Affairs Committee of the Jacksonville City
Council. The Urban Affairs Committee will hold a Public Hearing on
July 6, 1983 at 5:00pm. on the rezoning application submitted by Mr. Bul_
which would permit 936 dwellings on a 106.25 acre plot located just
north of 20th Street from the east side of Selva Marina Drive to Seminole
Road and Kathryn Abby Hanna Park. Mayor Pro Tem Gulliford reminded the
audience that the Commission is limited in their power and responsibility
for any approval of that area as it is in the confines of the consolida:ed
City of Jacksonville. He suggested that they get in touch with Mr.
Forrest Boone, the Beaches elected representative, and also strongly
suggested that as many as possible should attend the meeting on July 6th.
Commissioner Van Ness presented and read in full a proposed Resolution
urging the Urban Affairs Committee of the City of Jacksonville City
Council to deny a rezoning application filed by George Bull, Agent, to
rezone property located on the east side of Selva Marina Drive between
Seminole Road and Kathryn Abby Hanna Park (102.3 acres) from OR to RGF.
Motion: Passage of said Resolution. Copy of Resolution 83-6 is attach-Cook x

Commissioner Van Ness received a round of applause from the audience
for her proposed Resolution and discussion followed before the vote.
Commissioner Morris expressed the opinion that since the residents
of North Atlantic Beach are asking for help from the City of Atlantic
Beach on a regular basis that they should seriously consider taking
the steps to come in as citizens of the City of Atlantic Beach whicl-
would help defray the cost of police and fire protection, water and
sewer services. The Mayor Pro Tem asked for a show of hands for non-
residents and residents and the count was approximately 50-50.
Mr. Gene Montanye, 1731 Ocean Front, President of the North Beaches
Association, and Don Wolfson, Vice President of North Duval Beaches
Association expressed concern and urged the Commission to vote for
the Resolution. Mayor Pro Tem pointed out that some portion of the
proposed' development appears to be within the city limits of Atlant-c
Beach, but no request has been made to the City of Atlantic Beach.
The question was called on the motion for passage of said Cook x x
Resolution. Morris x

of Convenience and Necessity and issue permits to each qualified
driver of taxicabs. They also thanked Commissioner Cook for his help
in bringing the matter before the Commission. Mayor Pro Tem Gulliford
suggested any further discussion be deferred until the next meeting
when our new City Attorney will be present. The Commission agreed
and directed the new City Attorney, Mr. Claude Mullis, to review
the matter and report back at the next meeting on July 11, 1983.

establishment located at 763 Atlantic Blvd. They stated that they

support the project before the City Commission agreed to the special
assessment procedure. Each Commissioner was polled as follows:

Commission agreed that at least 60% of the residents should support
the project.

that the City Manager utilize the city's backhoe to help clean out the

City Clerk
ortion Verbatim transcript of Alan C. Jensen - Minutes of City Commission Meeting of 6/27/83
Some
Suits have been filed against the City, in which the City has prevailed. The courts have
found some of those law suits to be frivolous. It's been a time consuming and expensive
proposition to the city, and I think the public and the citizens here should be aware of
what's gone on, and I don't think they know, and the people that come in and cause that
kind of grief to the city - I just hope that you all will weather the storm and get through
it and get by it and realize that a lot of it already has been found to be frivolous.
Certainly,it has been a waste of everyone's time that has been involved with it, but the
city had no control - the city had to respond. I've been very upset recently about certain
accusations made by certain individuals against some of our employees and officials of the
City, and it disturbs me when an apparent incompentency on behalf of private attorney caused
a certain action to be taken and questions to be brought to the State Attorney's office
and then when the State Attorney's office does their investigation and finds that there
was absolutely nothing at all done wrong by this city or any official of this city, then
it's claimed by the persons who instigated that inquiry that this exonerates their position.
I just hope that ya'll realize, and a lot of it may be my fault for not keeping ya'll as
informed as I could,or better informed on these various things that are happening, but I
think that everyone knew pretty much what was going on. That's my main concern because
there are a lot of things that I had talked to Bill Moss earlier when I first became City
Attorney about doing some things with the Ordinance Code and that type of thing, to bring
it up to date, but I just haven't had the time to do that with these various other things
that the city has been going through.
I think Claude Mullis will do a fine job. I think there are a lot of areas where he can
make improvements and with his experience and knowledge, he will be very helpful. One is
the Ordinance Code and bring it up to date, getting it codified with all the new things
in - I think that is very important. I would suggest that ya'll might look to amending
your Charter or the Ordinances to eliminate the necessity of reading the Ordinances in
full at a public hearing as no one else does that - the City of Jacksonville doesn't sit
there and read all those Ordinances in full - they couldn't do it, and it's not normally
been a problem here- recently - the last meeting.
I've enjoyed very much my time here. I'm really going to miss everyone in the city and
especially everyone on the City Commission, and I would like to thank everyone for letting
me be a part of it.
Commissioner Morris: We thank you. If,ever,anyone quit on top, Alan, you have.
Commissioner Van Ness: I would like to add that I have served for almost six years with
Mr. Jensen and it has been a pleasure and I am very sorry to see him go.
Commissioner Gulliford: Mr. Jensen, I might even hang my photocopy of your Resolution
on my wall at the office.
Commissioner Cook: There is one consoling factor to the whole thing. He is returning to
the great Hoosier state of Indiana.
