Budget Update Presentation:
DCM Hogencamp distributed the handout titled Fiscal Year 2018 (which is attached and made pmi of
this Official Record as Attachment A).
Finance and IT Director Russell Caffey showed a slide presentation of the handout. He reviewed the
cunent 2016-1 7 Budget and the proposed 2017-18 Budget, noting the increase to the Revenue and an
increase to the Expenditures, leaving a deficit in the General Fund.
Finance Director Caffey reviewed the Reserve Reconciliation explaining the deficit is attributed to
additional legal fees, expenses related to the Enterprise Resource Planning software, and expenses
related to the City Hall remodel. He fmiher explained other increases are related to the addition of four
employee positions, increases in the General Employee Pension plan, increases in Workers
Compensation, and proposed employee raises (3% non-swom employees, 6.5% swom employees).
Mr. Caffey reviewed Roadway Improvements, the Reserve Reconciliation, the Half Cent
Discretionary Sales Tax Fund, the Convention Development Tax Fund, and the Local Option Gas Tax
Fund.
Discussion ensued about Roadway Improvements, noting the importance of the all the sidewalk
work/improvements being completed prior to beginning the streetscaping and beautification projects.
Finance Director Caffey stated that the $100,000 for the streetscaping and beautification projects is not
assigned to one specific project at this time, but identifies an area where improvements will be made.
As the year evolves other ideas for budgeting will be identified.
Discussion continued about the funding to assist residents in the transition from septic to sewer and
questioning if Duval County funds were available to subsidize. Finance Director Caffey explained this
budget item resulted from a need voiced by the Commission and it is a line item in place to be ready to
commit to the project.
The next topic discussed was the Spray Park listed under the Convention Development Tax Fund.
Mayor Reeves stated these can be very expensive and that the Beach Walkovers were more impmiant
to maintaining the dunes.
Mayor Reeves inquired about the amount budgeted for Health Insurance being the same as the
previous year. Mr. Caffey explained the actual costs will be confirmed in November and it is possible
there could be a 5% increase.
City Manager Gerrity spoke about changing the Health Insurance contract from a calendar year to a
fiscal year.
Agenda Item 1A
February 26, 2018
Minutes -City Commission Budget Workshop

September 6, 2017
Mayor Reeves spoke about the last Millage Rate reduction, 1/10th of a Mil resulting in $147,000. He
asked the Commission to consider another 1/10th Mil reduction this year, which would be a little over
$150,000, due to the increases to our tax base.
Finance Director Caffey spoke about the Half Cent Discretionary Sales Tax Fund and the types of
capital projects it can be used for. He spoke about the Convention Development Tax Fund which
includes funding for Beach Walkovers and Signage. Mr. Caffey stated there were no changes proposed
to the Local Option Gas Tax Fund.
Regarding the proposed Spray Park that is budgeted from the Convention Development Tax Fund, Mr.
Caffey stated it is up to the Commission whether or not to move forward on this item.
Regarding the Spray Park, Commissioner Hill expressed concerns about safety, maintenance costs,
staffing, and liability. Mr. Hill spoke in favor of the Lifeguard Station improvements. He stated our
signs should be more unifmm in appearance throughout the City, like state park signage.
Commissioner Hill spoke about the flooding problems in the City and the probability of resolving
through property acquisition for the sake of percolation and water shed. He stated he would like more
infmmation about how the tax funds can be used.
Commissioner Harding spoke about infi:astructure improvements for Marsh Oaks, about the transition
from septic to sewer, and about streets and drainage. He addressed the Sidewalk Improvements for
Royal Palms and inquired if the $150,000 is in addition to last year's $100,000 budgeted for the same
item. He spoke about the 1/lOth Millage Rate reduction and the need for planning ahead due to
anticipated decreases in revenue.
Commissioner Waters spoke about the Millage Rate reduction and stated she was not in favor of doing
that this year. She agreed that with new construction there is an increase to the tax base, but Ms.
Waters stated that prope1iy development requires increased City services. She spoke about planning
ahead with the potential for decreases in revenue. Commissioner Waters stated that rolling back the
Millage Rate now could create the potential for the next Commission to have to raise taxes over the
next couple of years. Ms. Waters also had questions about the amounts budgeted for the Sidewalk
Improvements for Royal Palms.
Kayle Moore, Public Utilities Director, addressed the Sidewalk Improvements for Royal Palms. Mr.
Moore explained that a pmiion of the previous year's $100,000 budget was used for the expense of a
consulting design fi1m to prepare a full design set and specifications for the three East/West sections in
Royal Palms. The balance of that amount was carried over and will cover the construction of one of
the three sections. This budget for $150,000 is to cover the other two sections and all three sections
will be completed at one time.
Mr. Moore spoke about the process and reasoning behind outsourcing for the required design
specifications and construction of these sidewalks. The work must be ADA Handicap Accessible,
include specifications for rights-of-way and existing utilities, and all related costs must be identified
for budgeing and meeting the required construction specifications.
Commissioner Waters asked that the Commission be advised when and where the streetscaping and
beautification projects are scheduled. She emphasized the importance of work/improvements being
completed prior to beginning the streetscaping and beautification projects.

September 6, 2017
Commissioner Waters spoke in favor of a Spray Park and noted benefits to the community. She agreed
that Beach Walkovers are important to maintaining the dunes and might take precedence, but would
like to consider a Spray Park for another budget year if possible. Ms. Waters agreed that signage
should be more uniform in appearance, like state parks.
City Manager Genity and Public Utilities Director Moore confi1med that any expenditure of $100,000
will come before the Commission in the fmm of a Resolution with a line item detail.
Public Utilities Director Moore addressed the budgeting for the extension of the sewer system
regarding the transition from septic to sewer. He stated this type of project will require additional
infrastructure and a pump station construction prior to residents being able to transition from septic to
sewer.
Commissioner Stinson spoke about the pros and cons of a Millage Rate reduction. He expressed
concems about the deficit in the proposed budget and questioned covering that amount from the
Reserve Fund. Cunently the City's Reserve Fund has a balance in excess of what is required and he
questioned the push to spend that overage. Commissioner Stinson gave examples of expenditures -
there are two major storms approaching, there is discussion to purchase Selva Preserve, the City paid
to have Johnston Island evaluated, and there is a big cost overage for the Safe Routes to School
project. All these items equal a very large outlay of taxpayer dollars. Commissioner Stinson
questioned spending on extras while cutting the revenue simultaneously and encouraged researching
other resources to decrease the deficit.
Finance Director Caffey explained the 1/1 oth Millage Rate reduction for an individual prope1iy owner
and for the City, and he reviewed the breakdown of that distribution.
A lengthy discussion ensued about not using salary lapses as a budgeting tool, about the millage rate
reduction, about City services to residents, about expenditures for projects to prevent flooding into
homes, about Johnston Island, and about the increase in legal fees.
The Commission acknowledged if they were in favor of or in opposition to the following items
remaining in the proposed budget.
Roadway Improvements: (from Reserve Fund)
Sidewalk Improvements, Royal Palms-$150,000

walkovers, developing parking and pedestrian safety, developing parks, increasing the amount for use
on Beach Walkovers and Signage, and about leaving the unused $250,000 in the fund balance.
Finance Director Caffey reviewed the Hunicane Matthew Reimbursement Recap and stated the City
has not been reimbursed.
Lowering Millage Rate: (cunent rate 3.22850)
Consideration to lower the Millage Rate 1/1 oth of a Mil, $150,673

February 8, 2018
Many municipalities, including our neighboring cities, own and operate
jet-vac trucks to perform regular maintenance on their stormwater and
sanitary sewer infrastructure, and to respond to specific emergency
situations. City staff has determined we will benefit from an operational
standpoint, and more efficiently and economically perform at our high

This equipment will allow the Public Works and Public Utilities crews to
effectively clean and maintain sewer and stormwater lines. Both
Departments have outsourced similar services for both routine/preventive
maintenance and emergency response situations such as flooding and
sewer backups.
Having this equipment available in-house will be invaluable for both
scheduled and reactive/emergency maintenance activities. On the
preventive maintenance side, it will reduce costs over outsourcing and
allow for a more comprehensive scheduled maintenance program. In
addition, having the equipment in-house, emergency response time will
dramatically improve for call-outs and emergency situations.

Vacuum Truck with Freightliner Chassis (options detailed in the Vac-
Con Specification attachment from Southern Sewer Equipment Sales)

Re: Acquisition of Johnston Island
OFFICE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Dear Atlantic Beach City Commissioners:
117 WEST DUVAL STREET
SUITE 425
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
32202
I wish to give my supp011 for the City of Atlantic Beach taking initial steps towards the potential acquisition of
Johnston Island. I applaud the City of Atlantic Beach's initiative in recent decades to protect conservation and
recreational land along the intercoastal waterway. I believe that the acquisition of Johnston Island would create an
important additional access point for City of Jacksonville and City of Atlantic Beach citizens to enjoy the adjacent
Riverbranch Preserve, Tideviews Preserve, and Dutton Island Preserve.
I am supportive of the Atlantic Beach City Commission directing staff to execute a non-binding Jetter of interest,
order an appraisal, and to develop an agreement with an independent contractor(s) to complete a detailed due
diligence evaluation of Johnston Island for use as a waterfront park. If the City of Atlantic Beach decides to move
forward with this purchase, I will endeavor to demonstrate to the othei'Council Members that this is a worthy
conservation acquisition for the City Of Jacksonville.

BY SPECIAL MAGISTRATE; AMENDING SECTION 2-146.1 OF THE
ATLANTIC BEACH CODE OF ORDINANCES, JURISDICTION OR SPECIAL
MAGISTRATE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FORAN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the humane treatment of animals is an important public purpose; and
WHEREAS, puppy and kitten mills are inhumane and unsanitary commercial
breeding facilities for dogs and cats in which the health of the dogs and cats is disregarded
to maintain a low overhead and maximize profits; for example, by keeping parent dogs and
cats in cages for their entire lives without adequate food, water, veterinary care, or
socializations; breeding females multiple times per year with little to no recovery time
between litters; and breeding dogs and cats regardless of whether they carry congenital or
hereditary diseases; and
WHEREAS, according to United States Department of Agriculture reports,
documented problems found at puppy and kitten mills include: 1) sanitation problems
leading to infectious diseases; 2) large numbers of animals overcrowded in cages; 3) lack of
proper veterinary care for severe illnesses and injuries; 4) lack of protection from harsh
weather conditions; and 5) lack of adequate food and water; and
WHEREAS, the Humane Society of the United States estimates that each year two to
four million dogs and cats are born in the United States in puppy and kitten mills; and
WHEREAS, the most effective way to stop puppy and kitten mills is to discourage the
purchase and sale of puppies and kittens produced at these inhumane facilities; and
WHEREAS, according to the Humane Society of the United States, although American
consumers purchase dogs and cats believing the pets to be healthy and genetically sound, in
reality, the animals that come from mills often face an array of health problems; including
not only communicable diseases or genetic disorders that present immediately after sale,
but also diseases or disorders that do not surface until several years later, all of which lead
to costly veterinary bills and distress to consumers; and

Supplemental Information for
Application for Waiver from Chapter 17, Signs and Advertising Structures
The following is intended to supplement the information provided in the Application for Waiver
from Chapter 17, Signs and Advertising Structures, dated January 31, 2018 and submitted by Star Realco
LLC, a Florida limited liability company, in regards to the improved real property located at 1500 Mayport
Road, Atlantic Beach, Florida.
1. A copy of the vesting deed for the subject property is attached hereto as Appendix 1.
2. A survey depicting the location of the subject sign is attached hereto as Appendix 2. The
base for the subject sign is approximately 3.0 linear feet from the boundary of the subject property and
approximately 12linear feet from the edge of pavement for Mayport Road (State Road 560), as shown on
the survey. As noted in the Application, the sign is approximately 35 feet in height.
3. The Property contains approximately 160.80 linear feet of frontage along Mayport Road
(State Road 560), as shown on the survey. The building located upon the property has approximately 40.95
linear feet of frontage along Mayport Road (State Road 560) as shown on the survey.
4. The Waiver is being requested to allow the Applicant to replace the existing sign panels
which have been damaged. The sign structure itself is sound and the only casualty incurred was to the
individual sign panels. But for the casualty event, the Applicant could have routinely replaced the panels
without issue.
Prior to the casualty event, the subject sign as an existing non-conforming sign under Chapter 17
of the City's Code of Ordinances. Section 17-51 requires existing non-conforming signs to be made
conforming when any of the following changes are made:
a. Any change to the structural suppmts or structural materials, including temporary
relocation associated with routine maintenance of a prope1ty.
b. Any change which increases the illumination.
c. Any change which increases the height of a sign.
d. Any change, which alters the material used for the display area or increases the face area
by more than twenty-five (25) percent.
e. Any replacement required as the result of an accidental act or a weather-related act.
f. Any replacement of an abandoned sign.
g. Any change necessary for compliance with Florida Building Code requirements.
With respect to the foregoing standards/conditions:
i. No change to the structure supports or structure materials, including tempora1y
relocation associated with routine maintenance of the property will be made. The sign
base, pole and cabinet will remain in exactly the same condition as currently exists.
Agenda Item 8B
February 26, 2018
ii. No change which increases the illumination ofthe sign will be made. Only the existing
bulbs will be replaced, with none being added nor any change in the illumination type being
made.
iii. No change in the height of the signed will be made. The sign will remain exactly the
same height as currently exists.
iv. No change in the material used for the display area will be made and no change in the
face area will occur. The replacement panels will be identical to those that existed prior
to the casualty event.
v. The sign structure is not being replaced as a result of a weather-related act, only the sign
panels are proposed to be replaced.
vi. The sie:n has not been abandoned. The sign is and will remain an integral part of the
ongoing operations of the Hardee's located thereon.
vii. The proposed replacement of the sign panels is not a change necessary for compliance
with Florida Building Code Requirements.
As set forth above, the sole purpose of the request is to replace the damaged sign panels,
with no other structural changes associated therewith. Upon replacement of the sign panels, the
sign would remain identical, in all respects, to the pre-casualty condition. Accordingly, the
application of Section 17-51 of the City's Code of Ordinances is not proper or warranted.
Attached as Appendix 3 is a copy of a quotation for the work necessary to restore the
damage to the subject sign. As noted therein, the only parts being replaced are the sign panels for
the main sign and the reader board, associated hinged retainers and 12 bulbs. No additions, cabinet
modifications or expansion of the existing sign and sign cabinet are proposed. As set forth therein,
the estimated cost of replacing the sign panels and related work is $9,761.08 (inclusive of
permitting fees, pe1mit acquisition fees, labor and freight charges. The actual cost of the panels,
the hinged retainers and the 12 bulbs is $4,991.70, or,:aAlitt)& e;ver:¢i0% of the total cost. The
foregoing demonstrates the diminimis nature of the request.
The preliminary quote obtained for the demolition and replacement of the sign with a
monument sign complying, in all respects with Chapter 17 of the City's Code of Ordinances, which
is estimated to be in excess of$21,000.00, or 215% of the cost of performing the repairs. Clearly
the replacement of the sign would cause the Applicant to incur an undue financial hardship;when
the cost of merely replacing the panels pales in comparison with the replacement cost.
In considering the standards established by Section 17-51 of the City's Code of Ordinances,
it is clear that the intent is to prohibit an expansion or enlargement of a non-conforming use, which
is the general standard utilized in most non-conforming sign ordinances.
The granting of the requested waiver will not result in a prohibited or otherwise unlawful
sign but will allow the continued use of what has been a legally non-conforming sign under the
City's Code of Ordinances:·
