Exh 9~ - zz-~ 94 ~~ CITY MANAGER REPORT March 17, 1999 1. Personnel Commendations: Cazlene Matthews and Joyce Lanier were recognized under the City Employee Recognition Program (see attachments). They initiated a program that includes calling every water billing customer on the "cut-off 'list before the water service is actually disconnected. The result of their efforts has been a significant reduction in the number of people having their water service disconnected, which translates into better customer relations and reduced overtime for water department members. They started this on their own initiative, and it is raze that people voluntazily create more work for themselves. I am not aware of any utility company that goes to this extent to communicate with customers and prevent cut-offs. Thank you notes were received commending Don Ford, George Worley, and Pat Harris for assisting a citizen with concerns (see attachments). The Police Department received a letter from Ken and Terry Criss thanking them for a quick response and arrest regarding a burglary to their business on Atlantic Blvd. (see attachment). A memo was received from the Fire Department commending Police Officer Bill Bull who discovered a structure fire just outside of Atlantic Beach while on routine patrol. Bull called in the fire to the Department, and he immediately checked the building to assure that no one was inside (see attachment). Letters were received by the Police and Fire Departments thanking them for their response to assist a patient February 21, 1999 (see attachment). Commendations were awazded to Police officers Lt. Bartle, Sgt. Gualillo, Officer Bacon, Officer Watts, and Officer Fissel for their work on a stolen caz case that resulted in the arrests of two juvenile offenders and the recovery of the car. This particulaz case was initiated by officers who observed suspicious activity while on routine patrol (see attachment). 2. At the March 8, 1999 City Commission Meeting, a question was raised relative to altering the assessments for Section H residents based on the refinancing of the Gulf Breeze Loan. Please see the attached report on this issue. 3. The City Manager has provided the approval for the consumption of alcohol at the ~~ Dancin' In The Streets event in May. The alcohol will be restricted to areas on Atlantic Blvd. in Atlantic Beach, and the rest of the alcohol consumption will be in Neptune L ~ ~ S. Beach. This approval is in conjunction with other restrictions that have been discussed with the organizers to assure a quality, safe event. 4. The City is still waiting further information from Jacksonville regarding the Fire Department contract. The pension information has been provided to the State for their approval, and we are awaiting the numbers for our review. 5. Meetings are scheduled March 17, 1999 to negotiate with the design firm for Pine Island, and to walk the island with representatives from Jacksonville Parks and Recreation and representatives from PINE. Jacksonville has indicated that they are applying for FIND grant money to design and build a canoe launch for the island, and we are identifying possible locations for it at this time. 6. Please find the attached City Manager Report entitled Pine Street Observations. This report includes various observations and information relative to the Pine Street Drainage, but it does not offer a specific recommendation. After reviewing the materials, the City Commission may wish to direct the City Manager to pursue further research or seek specific options/solutions on the matter. 7. Please find the attached report relative to the Actuarial Report and Pension Benefits. believe that it will answer previous questions about the funding levels of the pension plan. < 0) CITY OF l~~~cus~ic ~e~zc~i - T~vua'a 800 SEb1INOLE ROAD ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA 82233-5445 TELEPHONE (904) 24?-5500 FAX (904) 247-5805 SUNCObI 852-5800 February 23, 1999 Carlene Matthews Utility Billing Supervisor Finance Department Dear Carlene: Based upon the recommendation of the Finance Director, I am pleased to approve a Special Service award for you for the purpose of recognizing the outstanding contribution to improving the City's level of customer service. Recently, through your efforts, a policy has been established in the Finance Department wherein all customers are called on the afternoon before their services are scheduled to be cut off. You were instrumental in implementing this policy. The extra effort to contact all customers has prevented numerous cut offs of services, thus t greatly improving the City's relations with its customers. In addition, when a service cut offhas been prevented, the Public Works Department does not have to spend additional funds and time to cut off and subsequently reestablish services. Because of the implementation of this system the City has realized a benefit both in the improved relations with utility customers, and in the saving of time and manpower when a service cut offis alleviated. Although the savings to the City is not determinable, I feel that this enhanced level of customer service is well deserving of recognition. Thus, I am happy to advise that you will receive a $425 award, minus required deductions, which is currently being processed. This award is in addition to your normal pay and will be provided to you in your pay check dated February 26, 1999.

Within minutes after the security alarm sounded, an Atlantic Beach police officer was on the scene, witnessed the burglary in progress, and arrested the perpetrator before any real damage or theft could occur. Until an incident like this occurs, we often fail to appreciate the good job that the City of _ Atlantic Beach Police does for our community. While we sleep, some two dozen uniformed police officers, at personal risk for their own safety, patrol our neighborhoods and keep the crime rate of our community at a relatively low level. We are proud of our Atlantic Beach Police Department as being one of the finest police departments on the First Coast, and thank them for a job well done. ~Cc: Atlantic Beach Chief of Police Very truly yours, a~ c~,,' Ken and Terry Criss r~ .~- ~~) N T E R MEMO O F F I C E To: David Thompson, City Manager From: Claude Mayo, Acting Fire Chief~~ Subject: Officer William (billy) Bull Date: March 17, 1999 On the morning of March 17, 1999 at approximately 0425 a.m., police officer Bull while on patrol discovered a structure fire just outside of his jurisdictions in Neptune Beach.

The following information is being provided for your consideration in this matter: The logic of rebating the money to Section H residents makes sense based on the assumption that the residents of Section H paid for the improvements to their property. If they paid for the improvements, and the City has been able to negotiate a better finance rate for the bonds, then those people who paid for the work should benefit from the improved financing. However, these assumptions are not entirely accurate, and the equation is not so simple. The improvements to Section H were not entirely funded by the residents or landowners living there. Although a significant amount of the total project expense was funded through assessments, there were other costs that were absorbed by the City. A review of the form letter sent out in 1991 contained the language, "Owners of developed property l ~ will not be assessed for paving or drainage as these costs will be assumed by the city." Based on Resolution 88-7, $4,280,000 of the total project cost of $5,233,256 was funded through assessments. The rest of the money came from other funding sources, including Gas Tax money that could have been used to benefit citizens throughout the City. When comparing the total projected savings on the refinancing to the money that went into the Section H development when the improvements were done, the initial investment of City money into Section H greatly exceeds the refinancing amount. Choices: A. Based on this information, it would be a reasonable decision to return the money from the refinancing to the City General Fund to benefit all of the citizens of Atlantic Beach. B. If the City Commission wishes for staff to identify each party that was assessed for these improvements and reduce their assessment consistent with the refinancing, this task can be accomplished. It will occupy significant staff time to make the calculations for every party, but it can be done. In the absence of direction from the City Commission to do otherwise, the savings will be integrated in the budget for the City Commission to utilize as they determine in the future.

FL CHER, Mayor Approved as .to form and correctness: C C_ SEN, ESQUIRE City At rney n (G J Pine Street Observations City Manager Report Mazch 12, 1999 Observations: 1. The drainage design that was originally planned and implemented in the Pine Street azea has been significantly compromised by homeowners and residents who live there. There aze numerous cases where landscaping has been added, driveways have been added (without culverts), swales have been filled in, and other alterations have been made which clearly disrupt the drainage. These alterations prevent the water from flowing to the storm drains. In some cases, the alterations clearly create a dam and create a flooding problem for homeowners. Please see the attached photographs which show some of the most obvious alterations of the drainage system. The past alterations have vazied considerably relative to City review. Some of the work has been done without permits. Within a year of Public Works Director Bob Kosoy's arrival, driveway permits were required to be reviewed and approved relative to their impact on drainage. However, there was no review for drainage impact for more than ten years after the subdivision was essentially completed. 2. Historically, the Salt Air subdivision has been very wet for many yeazs. After the development was originally built and the original drainage designs were in place, there were flooding problems. Newspapers showed photographs of people canoeing down some of the streets in the area. One of the key azeas of concern was the lack of drainage from the Howell Park waterways. The culverts running under Seminole Road and Plaza Drive were too small. The water consequently backed up and flooded the Salt Air streets and homes. These culverts were replaced with larger culverts in later yeazs, and it helped to alleviate some of the flooding. However, it has not eliminated the street flooding problems. Several years ago, after repeated flooding problems along Poinsettia Street (and other nearby streets), the drainage along some of the streets was redesigned and implemented. The improvements greatly improved the situations for some of the streets. Pine Street was not included in the new drainage work. In the 1998-99 budget, funds were allocated for improving the 100 Block t of Pine Street, and the preliminary design work (30% plans) were received 3/12/99. The estimated cost of the improvements is about $50,000. If the 100 Block of Pine Street is constructed, the City should expect to receive pressure from neighboring streets based on the argument that "If you do it for them, then you should do it forme." At the current time, it would be difficult to explain why we are going to curb and gutter the 100 Block and not the 200 Block. At the current time, no money was budgeted for drainage improvements to the 200 Block of Pine Street. However, you will find an attachment for the design work for the 200 Block at an estimated cost of about $5,200. If the design and construction work is done together with the 100 Block, then there is a significant savings that maybe realized as compazed to designing and constructing the projects sepazately. 3. The City of Atlantic Beach has documented and submitted claims for past flood events in Atlantic Beach, and there have not been any claims for Pine Street residents during those events. This does not mean that none of the residents have incurred losses from flooding, but it means that they did not contact the City about the claims. 4. The storm drains along Pine Street flow into Howell Park. After reviewing the locations with Public Works staff, it appeazs that the water must pass through (or over) the culvert located at the North end of Pine Street in the park. An examination of the standing water on March 11, 1999, which was at a time when there had not been any rain for several weeks, revealed that the culvert remained about half full of water. It was obvious that the buildup of silt and soil north of the culvert has limited the ability of the water to drain from the Pine Street area. Instead, there is standing water in the culvert, and the downstream area is so clogged with soil and silt that water does not drain well. Without good drainage away from the Salt Air area, it is probable that water will continue to back up into Pine Street regardless of curbs and gutters. 5. The dredging of the Howell Park water channels was originally considered in the Core City Project, and this would probably improve the situation in the Salt Air development. In subsequent Core City Plans, the dredging was eliminated. As of this date, 3/16/99, we do not know whether or not the newest Core City plans will address the Howell Park drainage. l w/ Summary: As you can see from the information above, there are many factors to be considered relative to drainage on Pine Street. After the City Commission has had a chance to review this information, they may wish to provide guidance to staff relative to their need for additional reseazch and possible options. The purpose of this correspondence is to provide information for the City to consider relative to the petition submitted by Pine Street residents. Disclaimer: I am not an engineer and I do not have any particular expertise in storm water management or flooding. This lack of expertise causes me to rely on logic and common sense in observing and evaluating problems, and often common sense lacks an empirical foundation on which to base opinions and ideas. However, these observations and opinions are offered for the consideration of the City Commission relative to the 100 and 200 Blocks of Pine Street. David E.
