3.B. Beaches Access and Neighborhood Parking
CM Corbin reported on the plan to implement a paid parking strategy on 18th and 19th Streets that
involves kiosks identical to the ones at Town Center and explained the need for direction from the
Commission on the fee structure. He also reported having hired a parking attendant position to
focus on parking issues at 18th and 19th Streets, but also throughout the beach and any other
problem areas we have.
He presented the slide show included in the agenda packet. CM Corbin recommended doing
something similar to the Beaches Town Center in order to reduce confusion to the residents from
having two different fee structures in two different areas, which is 7 days a week, 12 months a year.
He explained there was discussion about having paid parking during the busiest months and busiest
days, but keeping the same fee structure as far as cost per hour and the 3 -hour free parking for the
residents. CM Corbin requested feedback and direction on the fee structure.
Commissioner Bole expressed concerns about the requirement to have so many parking spots
reserved for beach renourishment, mentioned the difference in Hanna Park’s charges, and suggested
charging the same amount as Hanna Park.
Commissioner Waters provided a brief history of efforts made t o cut the number of spaces. He
explained his suggestion to have paid parking at 18th and 19th Streets, 7 days a week; from 9 am
to 9 pm; and 3 hours of free parking to Atlantic Beach residents. He also suggested making it
simple as possible for the parking attendant and police officers by charging a flat $10.00 fee for all
day. Commissioner Waters spoke about the possibility of using neighbor surveys to determine “No
Parking” spots.
CM Corbin answered questions and clarified that the fee structure and times need to be decided
because the kiosks need to be programed.
Commissioner Bole asked if this is a pilot project or something more permanent. CM Corbin
explained that we can structure it however the Commission wants and he expects to report back t o
them frequently about how it is working and how it’s going and any issues that may pop up.
Commissioner Norris asked about the process and turnaround time for reprogramming and updating
the system if changes are needed. CM Corbin explained it would be done by tech support and
believes the turnaround time would be fairly quickly.
CM Corbin confirmed for Mayor Glasser that they are no longer discussing to have receipts stuck
on dashboards, but instead would use information on the people who are registered that live in
Atlantic Beach to get 3 hours free at any time.
Commissioner Bole asked to hear Chief Gualillo’s opinion on the data and what we are hoping to
solve. Commissioner Bole commented that there are a significant amount of people he has spo ken
to that do not want any paid parking at all. He requested looking at the data, 6 months from now,
to see if there are fewer incidents and less annoyances.
Mayor Glasser reported seeing a lot of vacancies when it is not peak time, noting she is conf licted
about implementing paid parking year round.

CM Corbin answered questions and confirmed that is it paid by plate and added that we were talking
about doing “Pay & Display”, but there is a feature with the software that’s cloud based where
whoever is doing the parking enforcement can log on to a website and bring up all the registered
plates that are in whichever designated location that you are looking at and it will color code them
with green, yellow, and red. Green means paid; Yellow means 10 minutes left; and Red means
expired. Discussion ensued about different ways to handle vehicles that are backed in a parking
spot and the mechanics of getting the license plate numbers.
Commissioner Kelly noted that they are not trying to make money off of parking, but trying to help
with the behavior of the people parking there.
Commissioner Waters reported on the issues in the area and explained he is trying to find a way to
have some order. Discussion ensued about what has been tried so far.
Commissioner Bole commented about collection of unpaid fines being expensive and asked what
the plans are. CM Corbin said that he expects they would do warnings for some period of time, try
to educate people, put out signage, things of that nature, to get people use to the idea before going
out and writing tickets.
Mayor Glasser comments that we aren’t going to know the effects of paid parking until data is
collected. She suggested hearing from Chief Gualillo next and then go around the table and see if
the Commission can reach a consensus on what to do.
Chief Gualillo spoke about the issues raised, efforts made, and type of calls they receive due to the
high volume of people visiting the beach. He indicated they could look at the current data and
compare it to future data collected after implementing the paid parking and see what it looks like.
Commissioner Waters asked Chief Gualillo how they can help him with enforcement. Chief
Gualillo explained that the best thing to do is to call the AB Police when the incident is occurring
and they will get there as quickly as possible.
Discussion ensued about the issues with contractors taking up a lot of spaces and parking across
several spaces, parking attendant availability, and peak hours of 9 am to 3 pm.
CM Corbin clarified, for Mayor Glasser, that he is asking for a decision on the hours it would be
enforced, days of the week, and whether it’s 12 months out of the year or during what we consider
the peak season.
Mayor Glasser requested hearing from the Commissioners.
Commissioner Waters spoke in favor of having paid parking 7 days a week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Commissioner Bole believed that proposal would require at least two parking attendants, maybe
two and a half people. It is significant when you go that amount of time. He spoke in favor of having
one attendant, picking peak hours, trying it seasonally, getting data in September or October to see
if it’s working, and then moving forward.

Commissioner Norris reminded the Commission that not a single portion of her district touches the
beach and it’s the only district in AB that does not, noting that restri cting beach access essentially
restricts our neighbors. She advised she is not a huge fan of paid parking and reported hearing
unfavorable comments from people in her district. She recommended following Jacksonville
Beach’s program; limiting it to peak hours, from March to October, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
She spoke against restricting access 24/7 or 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. She reiterated the need to have it be
during peak season and peak times and added she would like the fee structure to follow what is at
the Town Center so that we don’t have to keep changing our messaging to people; making it a lot
easier on us communicating and easier on people coming and ideally playing by the rules.
Commissioner Kelly expressed respect for both Commissioner Norris’ and Waters’ positions and
believed the fairest thing to do is to copy Town Center. She noted that since the parking does not
expire for three hours, the parking attendant would not need to be there at 9:00 a.m. Commissioner
Bole commented that the three hours free is only for residents. Mayor Glasser commented that the
Town Center has the first 30 minutes free and wanted to ask CM Corbin about that. CM Corbin
explained that if they give him direction to do that, he will. Commissioner Kelly continued that the
parking person does not need to be there first thing. She inquired if they ended the paid parking
around 4:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., or 6:00 p.m., would that satisfy Commissioner Waters’ neighbors, or
does the parking attendant need to be there later to police the going home process.
Commissioner Waters expressed concerns about the parking fees at Town Center being confusing
to people. He suggested implementing paid parking right away from 9:00 a.m. to 6 p.m., getting
data in September, and having fees match Town Center’s if it makes it easier for the parking
attendant and police officers.
Mayor Glasser suggested having Chief Gualillo and City Manager Corbin come up with the best
times. She spoke in favor of starting it during the peak hours and peak season and adjusting it later,
if needed. She indicated she would like to hear from staff about the 30 minutes free and favors
enforcement from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. She noted that there are a couple thousand Atlantic
Beach residents registered for parking at the Beaches Town Center and they are becoming familiar
with the 3 hours free which was done specifically to address the people that don’t have ready -access
to the beach.
Commissioner Waters expressed desire to have paid parking 7 days a week during peak season.
CM Corbin requested consensus on the days of the week. There was consensus to start with Friday,
Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays such as Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, and Labor
Day, until data is collected.
Mayor Glasser acknowledged that Commissioner Waters wants to go 7 days a week, and that they
may get there but this is where they are going to start.
Commissioner Norris requested that the data reports be provided monthly and not wait for
September. CM Corbin agreed.
CM Corbin explained he will bring it back to the Commission in two weeks.

CM Corbin reported on his meeting with architect, Joe Cronk, from Cronk Duch Architecture and
the status of the Lifeguard Station project. He answered questions and advised that he would come
back to the Commission for their input and guidance before making any decisions. He invited
anyone who has not already been in the structure to schedule a time to walk through it with him to
see it for themselves.
Commissioner Kelly asked where the funds are coming from to pay for the parking kiosks. CM
Corbin advised that he would need to check with Finance Director Melissa Burns, but knows they
have already been paid for.
4. REPORTS AND/OR REQUESTS FROM CITY COMMISSIONERS
4.A. National Safe Boating Week Proclamation (Mayor Glasser)
Mayor Glasser explained the proclamation will be delivered personally and is in the agenda packet
if anyone is interested in reading it.
Commissioner Reports
Commissioner Bole -
• Thought the Wellness Fair went well and a lot of people took advantage of it.
• Advised he will attend tomorrow’s Beaches Town Center Association meeting which will
include discussions on Dancin’ in the Streets and tour of homes and asked if anyone has
input on that to let him know and he will bring it up to the association.
Commissioner Kelly -
• Invited everyone to the Canine Carnival, scheduled for May 21st at Veterans Memorial
Park from 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
• Spoke about her idea of more aggressively pursuing bicycle safety, specifically adults riding
their bikes after dark with no lights.
• Reminded about the priorities, under Mayport Road, to enhance bicycle safety, and under
Multimodal Transportation Management, for safe walking and bicycling.
• Suggested planning for electric cars by installing charging stations and consider amending
the Code to allow for some of the paid parking funds to be utilized for that purpose.
Commissioner Norris -
• Addressed comments made during Public Comment.
o The Levy Sidewalk is terrible and falling apart. Ideally, it should be an 8 -foot
multimodal path where people can walk and bike, and kids can go safely to their
school bus stops.
o The primary goal with the city acquiring the property on Francis Avenue is for
stormwater management. There is a lot of flooding over there. The goal in having
that is to address that and begin to build a solution there.
o Regarding the AB Lifeguard Station, clarified that the City of Jacksonville is
nowhere near taking over Atlantic Beach Ocean Rescue.
o Mentioned that we get about 18% back in taxes from the City of Jacksonville, so
any money we can get from them, she is more than happy to accept. There’s a
community center around the Westside that is in desperate need of some repairs and

expansion. We give a lot of money to the City of Jacksonville and she would argue
that they do not do enough in return.
Commissioner Waters -
• Commented on the Dog Leashing incident brought up during Public Comment. He
explained he was glad that someone was there to address a dog not on a leash, noting he
lost his dog a few years ago on the beach to three dogs that were not leashed, so he is very
sensitive to it and thankful for animal control. He advised he will not be attending the
Canine Carnival since he lost his other dog on Easter.
Mayor Glasser -
• Mentioned she met with the Atlantic Beach Youth Council for one of its last meetings of
the year and invited the seniors who are graduating to come to our next Commission
meeting so that we can recognize them publicly for their service projects and the awards
they have received.
• Requested that CM Corbin bring back a resolution recognizing Selva Preserve as our 19th
preserve and have it formalized and made part of our Park Presentation on our website.
• Advised that the Mayor’s Council on Health and Well-Being will be meeting on Wednesday
to address quality of life issues such as vulnerable populations, the housing crunch,
homeless in our community, and the opioid crisis. She invited everyone to attend the
meeting.
• Asked if something could be done to the big ditch on Seminole Road to make it safer. She
suggested placing reflector strips or rumble strips along the section where it is getting
deeper and deeper.

Public Works Director (PWD) Scott Williams Director presented the slideshow provided in the

CM Corbin added that this is the target area for the Mayport Redevelopment Vision Plan that was
community driven several years ago. This is also the area where the East Coast Green Way is going
to come through which would provide a similar 8-foot multi-use path linking into the west side of
town that we have on the east side of town. Essentially East Coast Green Way is going to come
through as a spine and then we are going to have these larger sidewalks that are going to come off
of it from either direction west and east. Also, it has grant funding associated with it so it’s not all
city money. He and PWD Williams answered questions about the contractor, the connectivity plan
route, and the grant funding.

Commissioner Norris thanked Mr. Lambertson for bearing with us and thanked the neighbors for sharing
their concerns. She shared that she is excited to put this Stormwater stuff into action so people’s properties
do not flood.
Commissioner Waters expressed his experience with flooding and believes this is the best chance of
helping.
Commissioner Bole echoed comments made by Commissioner Waters and commented on the need to gain
access to the property.
Commissioner Kelly commented about being glad to see a plan in place for helping the flooding issues.
Mayor Glasser thanked staff and residents and explained the benefit this will have to the flooding issues.
She also thanked Mr. Lambertson, noting that he did not have to bring this to where we are today; Given
our real estate market, he could have easily sold it for more than we contemplate paying for it and I think
that demonstrates that there are relationships in the city; that we can work together for the betterment of
everybody.

intent, to please let CM Corbin know. She provided a recap of the discussions and actions which
she recalled as wanting everyone to get the raise. She apologized if what they did was not clear.

program. CM Corbin confirmed that to be correct. Mayor Glasser explained that she wanted to

Background (WAIV22‐0003)Traditionally, the western portions of 1964 and 1980 Francis Ave. serve as stormwater conveyance systems (swale) and stormwater storage. The property owner proposed piping the current drainage swale but the city had concerns that the piping will not accommodate the total volume of water stored on‐site during wet events. City staff and the property owner are suggesting the purchase of the westerly portion of the properties to maintain the historical on‐site storage of stormwater. Additionally, the city and developer have agreed to a drainage easement between the western sale property and development property at 1964 Francis Ave. Exhibit 1 to 5-8-22 MinutesPage 42 of 53
Agenda Item #1.A.10 Apr 2023
Page 46 of 425
Proposed Plan The developer has agreed to sell the westerly portion of the properties provided they can retain 50% of required stormwater for the new development.The developer is proposing to provide 50% of the stormwater on‐site and 50% of the stormwater would be captured on the city's newly purchased property.

The property owner is proposing to build four (4) townhouses on each lot (8 total townhomes). On‐site storage of stormwater is required for all impervious area on each lot. Waiver is in conjunction with an associated purchase sale agreement and replat for the development of the property. Exhibit 1 to 5-8-22 MinutesPage 44 of 53

Grounds for DecisionSince the proposed waivers are related to the subdivision and development of the property the waiver process outlined in Section 24‐190 is the criteria used to determine the eligibility of the request. The city commission shall not approve a waiver unless it determines as follows:(1) The particular physical conditions, shape or topography of the specific property involved causes an undue hardship to the applicant if the strict letter of the article is carried out.(2) The granting of the waiver will not be injurious to the other adjacent property.(3) The conditions, upon which a request for waiver are based, are peculiar to the property for which the waiver is sought, are not generally applicable to other property and do not result from actions of the applicant.(4) The waiver is consistent with the intent and purpose of this chapter, the comprehensive plan and the requirements of this article. If the city commission approves a waiver, the city commission may attach such conditions to the waiver as will ensure that the waiver will comply with the intent and purpose of this article.Exhibit 1 to 5-8-22 MinutesPage 47 of 53

The City of Atlantic Beach would
like to improve Main Street utilizing
the Complete Streets Policy from W.
1st Street to Dutton Island Road. The
purpose of the Complete Streets
Implementation Study is to revisit
community concerns and desires,
leverage the policy objectives and
review existing facilities. The
Implementation Plan that follows
identifies scalable short- and long-
term projects that align with the
City's vision to provide for safer,
efficient, and affordable modes of
transportation.
This project is expected to revitalize
the area, encourage economic
development, and promote multi-
modal connections. This will support
the vision of Marsh Oaks residents,
businesses, and other other
stakeholders.

Per the accepted definition by the US Department of
Transportation, Complete Streets are streets designed and
operated to enable safe use and support mobility for all
users. Those include people of all ages and abilities,
regardless of whether they are travelling as drivers,
pedestrians, bicyclists, or public transportation riders. The
concept of Complete Streets encompasses many
approaches to planning, designing, and operating roadways
and rights of way with all users in mind to make the
transportation network safer and more efficient. Complete
Street policies are set at the state, regional, and local levels
and are frequently supported by roadway design guidelines.
WHAT IS COMPLETE STREETS?
Complete Streets approaches vary based on community context. They may address a
wide range of elements, such as sidewalks, bicycle lanes, bus lanes, public transportation
stops, crossing opportunities, median islands, accessible pedestrian signals, curb
extensions, modified vehicle travel lanes, streetscape, and landscape treatments. Complete
Streets reduce motor vehicle-related crashes and pedestrian risk, as well as bicyclist risk
when well-designed bicycle-specific infrastructure is included (Reynolds, 2009). They can
promote walking and bicycling by providing safer places to achieve physical activity through
transportation. One study found that 43% of people reporting a place to walk were
significantly more likely to meet current recommendations for regular physical activity than
were those reporting no place to walk (Powell, Martin, Chowdhury, 2003).
While Complete Streets is a framework to construct roads, it is also a path to
placemaking inclusive of all community members. The City adopted the local Complete
Streets Policy October 25, 2021. This policy can be located in the appendix of this document. MODE HEIARCHYImage 1: Example of Complete Street Cross Section

COMPLETE STREETS POLICY:
The local policy that was recently adopted is an excellent steppingstone towards
addressing community needs and desires. The implementation plan will address the needs of
a local municipality will support projects that staff and leadership can plan to fund and
execute. Placemaking, road design and neighborhood character can have expected outcomes
when policy including zoning, code and budget objectives are align. We provide near-term
updates to enhance and further the intent of the policy.
The proposed Implementation Plan for the Main Street Complete Streets project includes
various components such as leadership workshops and preliminary recommendations.
Considering the newly adopted Complete Streets policy, the Team was tasked to elevate
community awareness through communication within the Main Street Corridor and adjacent
neighborhood roads. This allowed better understanding on how the community interacts with
the City of Atlantic Beach leadership as well as local vision and technical understanding of public
roads. The implementation plan providing scalable solutions for near, mid and long term
programs and projects to support the policy.

An Informative Approach
To address the scope set forth by the City of Atlantic Beach, the project Team chose to
approach the project area of Main Street Complete Streets through education to achieve
maximum results. With the very recent adoption of the Complete Streets Policy by City
leadership, it is important to introduce the project through communication of community
awareness in order to provide design concepts that reflected both the policy as well as the local
communities desires as it related to their local neighborhood road.
Concurrently, the Team conducted a detailed traffic analysis, crash analysis along with utilities
coordination to further understand the complexity of short-term and long-term implementation.
PROJECT APPROACH:
The following process resulted in initial concepts based on observations
made through meetings, survey results, and in-person discussions regarding
the goal of Main Street Improvements and desired outcomes. To approach
this, a fundamental education campaign was utilized including visual
components to help illustrate complex technical geometry and design
components of safer roads by design.

A TRAFFIC CALMING APPROACH
WHAT IS TRAFFIC CALMING?
1. Reduce crashes
2. Enhance quality of life for residents and visitors
3. Enhance safety
The Main Street Corridor serves as a primary north south collector road of the Marsh
Oaks Neighborhood. Through data collection from COAB Police Department– 2/11/202 to
2/20/2020 and 1/24/2021 to 1/31/2021, the team found that most traffic volumes are cut
through traffic to avoid heavy congestion on Mayport Road intersections and direct
access to the Levy Road and Dutton Island signalized intersections.
Traffic calming is a low impact solution to achieve complete streets within the local
roadway network. As a strategy it can reduce the negative effect of drivers utilizing the
roadway network. It is effective in many communities where traditional road design or land
development uses of an area has resulted in unintended consequence of cut through
traffic and speeding. Traffic calming can alter driver behavior for any street network. The
goals of traffic calming are:
To reduce cut through traffic, a series of traffic calming strategies are considered for
Main Street. A balance of intersection treatment such as the existing mini roundabout are
proposed to maintain residential access while reducing cut through traffic on Main Street
from 2nd Avenue to Levy Road. This is where most of the residential access is being
impacted. North of Levy Road are commercial use with no recommendations for traffic
calming.
For Traffic Calming Design Considerations:
Target speed is 20MPH
Most effective use for traffic calming devices is between 300’ to 500’.
Devices should not be less than 150’ from intersection or bridge approach
Through a series of internal and external engagement and coordination, the following
traffic calming devices are preferred for the City of Atlantic Beach.
Divided Median - create a pinch point for traffic in the center of the roadway.
Narrow Road - restrict motorists from operating at high speeds and yield to pass this
device.
Mini Roundabout - reduce traffic speeds at intersections by requiring motorists to
move with caution through conflict points.

CONNECTIVTY NETWORK:
Bicycle connectivity is planned in the vicinity
of the corridor, connecting Main Street, the
Marsh Oaks Neighborhood, and the
surrounding neighborhood. Main Street is
designated as a bicycle route within the City’s
Bicycle Connectivity Plan. Main Street connects
to other planned bicycle corridors such as Levy
Road and Dutton Island Road to the Mayport
Commercial District. It also connects residents
to the Dutton Island Preserve and the extensive
trail network as a local amenity to the City of
Atlantic Beach.
A Bike Boulevard or a Neighborhood Bikeway is a low stress local streets network where vehicle
traffic and speed are designed to be kept at low volumes to make it safer for pedestrians and
bicyclists. Many communities have called it quiet streets, slow streets, or neighborhood bikeways.
A Bike Boulevard design is a complete streets strategy to enhance safety on Main Street.
WHAT IS A BIKE BOULEVARD OR A NEIGHBORHOOD BIKEWAY?
Main Street is designated as a cycle route for
low traffic volume, a bike boulevard, or a
neighborhood bikeway.
Slow Streets – safe mobility for all
Prioritize pedestrian and bicyclist safety
Lower vehicular speed design
Adding shared lane pavement markings (“Sharrows”) to
alert drivers to expect bicyclist in the streets and help
people along the bicycle route
Improving crossing on major streets
Adding wayfinding signage to guide people to local and
regional destinations
Discourage cut throughs through means of traffic calming

Face-to-face meetings with internal stakeholders,
One-on-one meetings with local elected officials,
Site visits on our own as well as with city staff on two occasions,
Online and printed survey,
Social media posts,
and two public meetings.
This process is useful for when there is a new program or procedure locally that requires
additional information for stakeholders to make decisions upon. This process was a success
to get locals engaged and thinking about potential projects instead of deciding on a project
that may or may not be supported locally either by residents, other stakeholders, or have an
easily available solution considering the existing right of way and infrastructure. This allowed
the task to remain focused on the corridor as well as the purpose of this scope which
included near-, short- and long-term concepts to address local concerns. Complete Streets is
intended to provide a toolbox of scalable solutions to address needs now and in the future.
This comprehension by locals was deemed as valuable a task to the project as the concepts
themselves.
To better understand the qualitative aspects of the project area, the Team utilized several
methodology, includes:
City staff provided a stakeholder list inclusive of email addresses. The Team gathered
stakeholder information from elected officials and survey response data. We coordinated
with stakeholder via emails in three separate occasions to inform residents of upcoming
surveys as well as public meetings. The Team utilized the City's mailing list to inform
residents of the project. This information was then reviewed by staff to arrive at various
values identified by residents and officials to drive which concepts would be provided to the
community for this report.

from DDEC. An interactive component included a type of puzzle where attendees were
able to select puzzle pieces reflective of what they would like to see in the cross-section
but only allow them to select enough options that would fit within the available right of
way.
The presentation focused on providing education about Complete Streets, community
Placemaking, and how we utilize quantitative data with qualitative data to arrive at an
outcome that satisfies the most needs. The public meeting was showcased on the cover
of the local newspaper (see appendix), which supported additional attendees to the
meeting.

PUBLIC MEETING:
Through preliminary survey results, more than 90% of the community was not aware
of the City of Atlantic Beach Complete Streets Policy. Residents were expected to see
final design and constructability concepts. The common theme and feedback received
during the meeting was speeding and access. Many suggestions from local residents who
attended the meeting was project specific to Main Street and show displeasure for a prior
concept been initiated in past years. Specific concern relates to sidewalks, the mini
roundabout, and other small improvements that have been executed by local staff were
discussed.
The most important key takeaway from the public meetings was the lack of awareness
by the community and the need to educate the community more on public processes to
arrive at a project. Also, there are varying opinions based on individuals’ relationship to
the project itself and how it will impact their daily lives. This is expected however for any
project to move forward there needs to be an understanding of trade-offs. The puzzle
exercise utilized during the public meeting showcased this well and opened attendees’
eyes to how important it is to seek input but also to be willing to accept trade-offs.
The project Team developed a
Complete Streets Puzzle as
educational for the adopted
Complete Streets Policy. The Team
presented attendees with a Complete
Streets postcard for share the
knowledge with loved ones during the
holiday season.

business in the neighborhood. Comments centered on a desire for safe roads with
dedicated space for all modes. When posed with a trade-off question, responses were
evenly distributed across the four options below:
This indicates there is not a current agreement on which project to move forward with
beyond improvement to connectivity for all modes. This does support a lower
community impact project in the near-term while a larger construction project and its
aspects need to be further understood and weighted against trade-offs to attain
community support.
100% of responses support 20mph design speed objectives set forth by staff and

The team utilized the SurveyMonkey tool to gather basic information and a basic
understanding of local understanding of the Complete Streets policy and temperature on
various trade-offs and types of construction opportunities available. By design, the survey
was meant to be simple and easy to use and assist in the planning process in information

RECOMMENDATIONS:
The following recommendations are based on the qualitative and quantitative data
collected throughout the project. They are broken down into short-, mid-, and, long-
term solutions.
There are quick and cost-effective options that can start to address residential
concern of the Main Street Corridor and Marsh Oaks neighborhood. Some technical
constraints includes existing right away, underground utilities infrastructure and
existing drainage pattern. Other factors include lack of consensus on certain features
such as a sidewalk. The Team have provided conceptual designs to illustrate the
recommendations as it relates to future construction projects as well as programming
the existing right of way as a methodology to address near- and short- term solutions.

SHORT-TERM RECOMMENDATIONS:
Short-term recommendations can be executed in a relatively short period of time with
minimal planning and funding. Short-term concepts have the ability to secure future
capital investments to ensure community vision of the Main Street corridor. The
recommendations are community best practices and consistent with the Complete Streets
policy.
Developing additional components to the existing Complete Streets Policy is a way to
support long-term capital improvements for the City. Throughout the process of this
project, the Team coordinated with staff various to address other concerns and roads
within the community. Some recommendations are not limited to only Main Street but
can be translated to other roads within the Marsh Oaks Neighborhood.
Much of the near and short-term recommendations is communication and education.
They key messaging to leadership and the public about the Complete Street policy, what it
means to have a Complete Street, and how to get the most out of your capital
improvements to achieve the goals of the policy. To do this, the Team recommend the City
take a multi-pronged approach so that there is consistency and continuum of design going
forward that is supported by the community. More education and more communication
about this will help also and longer-term projects as the community becomes more aware
of public process and how projects come about.
The City should consider adding second
layer to the Complete Streets policy such as
Vision Zero with additional initiatives that
support the program. Vision Zero, reviewing
existing code to ensure road design and
inclusive features, as well as reviewing zoning
to ensure it provides the most support to
meet Complete Streets policy objectives.
Parking minimums and maximums, utilization
of curbs, design speed and signage, would all
support how the policy is able to be utilized
without conflicting with other guiding
documents. This also makes the permitting
process more straight forward for the general
public with expected outcomes.

SHORT-TERM RECOMMENDATIONS CON'T:
Developing a City of Atlantic Beach
Complete Streets website will allow localize
resources for residents to have better
understand of the City's new policy along with
upcoming complete streets projects. Having a
focused site for a complex new policy with
such broad uses for so many different types of
roads and Placemaking will support a more
informed community. This will also help with
future zoning and land development, diverse
and new concepts and support long-term
projects.
Complete Streets Website:
Communication is centralize to the success of
Complete Streets implementation. The Team
recommends the City engage in a public
education campaign maximizing the website,
social media and public meeting spaces to
workshop the community. This will help begin
with the fundamentals and move towards
developing project concepts and designs that are
more inclusive of available updated cross
sections and what the community currently is
aware of. This will expand the options staff has to
use to solve community requests readily
available, reducing costs over time.
Public Education :
Bicycle Education Campaign
Sharrows :
Implementing the City Connectivity Plan
through the usage of sharrows on low speed
roads. Sharrows is a shared-lane marking
indicating where cyclists can ride. Cars have to
give cyclists 3 feet of space when passing. Under

SHORT-TERM RECOMMENDATIONS CON'T:
City slow roll bicycle parade to
highlight the City of St. Augustine
new bicycle ordinance.
Street Play, Cyclovia and other open street event play days are a concept currently used
across many cities and counties in the State of Florida. The basis of the project teaches road
users how to operate within the road while vehicles are moving about.
Frequently, public comments regarding road safety and speed of vehicles address how the road
makes them feel. This is not to disregard public comment about those issues because we know
all too well that they do exist, however motor vehicles current iteration provides for a quiet
comfort use while inside a vehicle. This has impacted road users, especially those outside of a
vehicle, senses to perceive information.
Street Play also typically helps with local initiatives where offenders are typically each other’s
neighbors. This works well in many residential roads as well as main streets to educate the
community all at one time and a fun and inviting way. The cost varies depending on how the
municipality or other agency wants to execute this project. It can be as simple as an in street
block party or as robust where we seen 5K is parades etc.

West side and 18 on the east side. With many poles at the intersections, this will
allow added illumination and enhance safety for all users.
Pavement Markings: Update and enhance all stop bars to meet minimum
standards of 24” white per FDOT Design standards.
Signage: Coordinate with Public Works to check reflectivity on all regulatory
signs such as “Stop” signs. Measure the retroreflectivity in accordance with
ASTM D4956.
The goal for short- and mid- term improvement is to improve safety utilizing the latest
standards and specifications to enhance the existing conditions. Short and Mid-Term
Safety improvements for Main Street are the following:
ADA Accessibility : The existing ADA accessibility is limited within the right of
way. Utilize existing pavement width and implement complete streets within
FHWA, MUTCD and FDM guidance to enhance pedestrian access and as interim
solution while capital improvement projects may take many years to implement.
With short-term and long-term vision, the recommended design and target
speed is 20MPH. Due to the existing crash frequency and the crash type on Main
Street, the recommendation is to remove existing parking to allow space for
pedestrian and bicyclist access.
Existing Mini Roundabout:
The existing roundabout does not meet minimal signing and pavement
markings. Utilize MUTCD for additional pavement markings and advance
warning for traffic calming at the intersection.

A pedestrian lane is a short-term improvement on low and moderate speeds and volumes to
designate space on the roadway for pedestrian usage. The implement this design, provide
signing and pavement markings for a Pedestrian Lane as recommended from Chapter 5 of FHWA
Small Town and Rural Multimodal Networks to be consistent with the City’s Complete Streets
policy and the City’s bicycle network. The pedestrian lane limits are proposed on Main Street
from West 1st Street to Levy Road. There is an existing sidewalk on the East side of Main Street
north of Levy Road. Implementing “sharrows” north of Levy Road will alert drivers to
acknowledge that there are bicyclists utilizing the right of way.

PLACEMAKING AND COMPLETE STREETS:
Placemaking and Complete Streets are synonymous now as the movement towards
safer mobility for all has evolved. The Marsh Oaks neighborhood is filled with natural
beauty and plenty of public destinations for residents and visitors alike to enjoy. Creating
equal access to all road users and residents can not be under estimated as a significant
way to improve the quality of life and access by harnessing the public right of way.
Equally, this will provide residents within the neighborhood access to other locations
around Atlantic Beach including the ocean and commercial destinations. Leveraging
Complete Streets, the City could consider public art installation, respite focused parklets
including benches and added trees, as well as potential for a district approach capitalizing
on the beautifully named floral streets. While working on this project, the Team began
referring to Marsh Oaks as the Garden District. Concepts like these can drive long term
objectives, create a sense of pride in a neighborhood and establish potential themes
around which design decisions can be made. PAINTED ROUNDABOUTENHANCING BEAUTY

Long-term recommendations can encompass a lot more of the elements that the
community desires however as a name suggest, they are longer term due to their costs
and construction requirements. A complete redesign of Main Street to include additional
features would also require utility as well as tree removal or relocation. These projects
typically are within the capital improvement program year five and require additional
design and engineering and potentially other added needs such as real estate easements.
Long-term improvements for Main Street shall consist of revisiting all underground
improvements and subsurface infrastructures as a major reconstruction project. The
existing as-builts utilities provided by the City Engineering Staff are dated 1990 with
Sanitary Sewer running along the centerline of the roadway. This placement of utilities
may affect median planting that will not meet the City’s minimum utilities separation. The
existing 8” watermain is on the West side of Main Street may need to be relocated for
proposed sidewalk placement.
MID - TO LONG-TERM RECOMMENDATIONS:
Mid-term recommendations include more robust design, striping and other
construction type projects that would not require extensive rearranging of the right of
way or underground utilities. These recommendations were reviewed by the team as a
reflection of what the community has said that they would like to see for the Main St.
Corridor. With an emphasis on safety, speed management by design, the utilization of a
20-mph design speed accompanied by other vertical concepts including lighting and
signage, these concepts can be done in relatively short amount of time depending on
local budget and desire to complete these projects.

LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENTS:
A slow street design will include a series of lateral shift/chicane for on street parking and new
intersection improvements.
Utilizing striping as a traffic calming
technique is less disruptive to emergency
service vehicles without no vertical or
horizontal elements within the roadway
surface. This concept will accommodate
residential parking demand and allow
adequate access for emergency service
vehicles. Alternating dedicated parking space
through each blocks will give the visual effect
of a lateral shift or chicane within the corridor
and is universally recognized as a traffic
calming strategy. Traffic calming striping gives
the visual impression that roadway width has
been reduced, which has been shown to slow
vehicles down while traveling along a roadway.
This type of striping will not slow down
emergency service vehicles utilizing the
roadway or adversely affect traffic operations.

Consistent with the advisory shoulder presented in a short-term option #2, the Advisory Bike Lane
(ABL) will maintain the existing curb line without major reconstruction or a change in drainage
pattern. This alternative will provide traditional sidewalk on both sides of the street to maintain
Complete Streets.
Option 2: Advisory Bike Lane
A shared use path or wide sidewalk on one side is not recommended for Main Street due to the
existing residential driveways and building setbacks. Creating a 10’ path will place adjacent property
owners in noncompliant of residential parking and vehicle overhang of the existing right of way.
Advisory Bike Lane is a shared space for bicyclists
and motorists within narrow streets. Unlike a shared
street, Advisory Bike Lanes accommodate two-way car
traffic while dedicating safe space for bicyclists. Main
Street is a low traffic volume (≤ 5,000 ADT) network
with vehicular speed of less than 30MPH. These
installations fall in line with the contextual guidance
provided for the Advisory Shoulder treatment featured
in the FHWA Small Town and Rural Multimodal
Networks document.
Advisory Bike Lane shall be installed from West 1st
Street to Levy Road, North of Levy should be a

projects that are fully supported by the community via public meeting and votes,
potential concurrency projects across different groups including Parks and Recreation,
Florida Inland Navigation, or others who might have a vested interest in creating better
access to the river.
Funding strategies directly correlate to which policies, procedures, and projects City
leadership and residents desire. Funding mechanisms include the local general fund,
potentially bonding for larger projects, as well as seeking grant funds from state and
federal resources.
Potential funds through the state include the FDOT LAP program, TAP program and
Safe Routes to School. In order to attain those find these projects must be listed with the
North Florida Transportation and Planning Organization(NFTPO) is a priority of Atlantic
Beach and Duval county. This process is straightforward and requires a scope and fee
estimate for the project to be submitted to the NFTPO board via the City's representative
to the Technical Committee. There can be multiple projects listed with the TPO since there
are various funding sources available as the TPO funnels all state funds to projects that
are not direct grant receivership to the city.
The Federal Administration has also released extensive funds available post Covid-
era in order to stimulate various parts of our local economies, making it a good time to
seek out those types of funds. Projects must be outlined with a scope to reflect the
required bullet points within those guidelines depending on the fund source. Money
currently can be used for every stage of projects including planning, design, construction,
and purchase of property. The process is very straightforward however in order to receive
funds there will be some steps in the City must execute depending on the funding strategy.
These include things such as:
There’s also an element of sustainability and resiliency as it relates to a full reconstruction
project and those superlatives help attain more funding for local communities to stretch
local dollars. Depending on the project or projects the City selects the Team will draft
scope language and general fee estimates to support the next steps.

is a very beautiful local neighborhood road with low traffic, amazing trees, several
neighborhood amenities, and is in good condition on the surface.
Enhancements to the road will only further enhance the March Oaks community as a
destination as well as great place to live. The City should consider a more robust
education and communication program to let residents know about the policy and how it
can support their livability on their own roads as well as how it can help direct other areas

path could be installed in a school zone to ensure stu·
dents can navigate safely to and from school. ·Some of the things include bike Janes, shared paths,
arrows, maybe there's some street furniture that we
can add along the street,-she said. "You could even
potentially look at speed limits or stop signs so there
arc multiple things in the wheelhouse we could use to
implement some of these things. -According to Askew, the city has already installed
\\ider paths and bike lanes as part of its approach to
complete streets. •1t is a priority that the commission identified in a
LEED roadmap as part of the top 10 recommenda-
tions,~ she said. ·11 helps incorporate recommenda·
tions from the Connectivity Plan and it provides a
framework for staff to review projects. "Whenever there is a new transportation project,
whether it's a street repaving or a new street going in,
staff would look at it and it would be looked at by mul-
tiple departments; the Planning Department, Public
Works, Police and Engineering,· she said. -We have
criteria that we would use so ifs not subjective to re-
view each project on a project-by-projKt basis. We
would coordinate with other jurisdictions and agen-
cies as needed.~ Askew said projects are to be prioritized by the level
of need of a particular neighborhood and implement·
ed to reflect the character of the surrounding environ-
ment. Citiz.ens without any transportation projects
planned for their neighborhood may apply for a multi-
departmental review to determine eligibility. A mini·
mum of 55 perttnt of the residents in a specific block
would have to agree before staff would consider an ap-
plication. City staff' also considers annually the avail·
able budget, community benefit and other data when
considering complete streets' projttts. ·u we look at this on a yearly basis, we could get an
idea of where we are and where we need to go. We are
going to look at the number of paths that we have cur·
reotly and the amount of paths we're adding, the num·
ber of curb ramps, the number of new treeS, signage,
traffic conflicts between pedestrians and bicyclists, the
number of children walking and biking to school and
the vehicle miles tra,,eled,~ said Askew, adding that
coofilct define areas with a high number of traffic ac•
cidents or near accidents. Locations prone to •c1ose
wls"aremoredifficultlotrack. "I kind of believe if you build ii, they will come.
Maybe the.re's not [a path] the.re now and peopleo.ren't
taking advantage of getting outside and biking and
walking. But If you build a path or a bike lane, people
will take advantage of it and it "ill be safer for them.
Instead of getting in your car to go to the park, you
might get on your bike or walk."

8B. RESOLUTION NO. 22-45
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING
THE RECRUITMENT OF AN IN-HOUSE CITY ATTORNEY AND SUPPORT
STAFF.
Mayor Glasser read the title of the Resolution.
CM Corbin explained the topic of hiring an in-house attorney had been brought up several
times over the past several years. Commissioner Bole initiated the creation of a Resolution,
which is being presented to the Commission. CM Corbin said three options had been created
for consideration by the Commission (as outlined in the staff report).
Commissioner Bole provided his opinions and thoughts behind introducing a resolution for
an in-house City Attorney. He said he has spoken with COAB staff and received positive
feedback regarding the proposed change. He read part of a letter he received f rom a past
Commissioner supporting an in-house attorney.
CA Durden mentioned she spoke at the recent Town Hall and would support any option in
the City's best interest. She suggested the most significant decision would be the number of
hours the City would need an in-house attorney for before starting the recruiting process.
Commissioner Norris asked for clarification for outsourced legal assistance when needed.
She also asked about ongoing supplies, hardware, software, and office space costs to support
an in-house attorney. She explained she was looking for a cost comparison because she is
unsure the City would save money by hiring an in-house attorney.
Commissioner Bole responded it is challenging to come up with an estimated cost of
outsourced legal assistance because it would depend on the type of assistance needed by the
City, which could change frequently. After speaking with several surrounding cities, he
noticed most cities have a separate budget line item for outsourced legal needs.
CA Durden confirmed (as included in the staff report) most cities have spate line items for
outsourced legal fees.
Commissioner Waters asked who monitors the City's legal fees and billing. CM Corbin
replied his office monitors and processes the current legal fees. CA Durden added CM Corbin
is aware of almost everything she works on.
Commissioner Water asked about how attractive the position would be for qualified
attorneys. Commissioner Bole replied from his research many attorneys would be interested
in working for local government. CA Durden said her current firm struggled with hiring
qualified attorneys, but it may be possible for the City to find suitable candidates.
Mayor Glasser spoke about the third option of having an attorney and a paral egal on staff
with the City for 20 hours a week and if it would be possible to have that through a law firm
instead of in-house. CA Durden responded it would be possible.

Regular City Commission
July 25, 2022
Commissioner Norris asked for clarification regarding the three presented options and the
next steps after voting on the proposed Resolution. CM Corbin responded the next step would
be to meet with Human Resources to get more exact numbers and costs and present the
information to the Commission for further direction. He spoke about the risks and benefits
of the possibility of in-house legal staff.
MOTION: Adopt Resolution No. 22-45.
Mayor Glasser vacated her seat to allow Mayor Pro-Tem Norris to take the chair.
Motion: Bruce Bole
Second: Ellen Glasser
Commissioner Waters said he is uncomfortable voting for either option as many other options are
not presented. CM Corbin reminds Commissioner Waters that an option is not being voted for now.
Only the decision to proceed forward in the process of further consideration and research is being
voted on.
Mayor Glasser said she has looked at the numbers for an in-house attorney for several years. She
explained her main reason for support would be the workflow and the flexibility of having an attorney
in the same building and readily available. She stated she favors option three and being attached to
a law firm as recruiting may be an obstacle.
Mayor Pro-Tem Norris spoke about her discomfort with deciding to move forward only and not
pick an option. She stated she understands the nicety of having in-house counsel but explained this
option has only been presented to her as a cost savings solution for the City. She expressed concerns
about the challenges with recruiting for such a position at this time. She expressed concerns about
losing the current connections, experience and inside historical knowledge with no longer using CA
Durden.
Commissioner Bole said it would be a disservice to the community not to explore our options for
in-house legal services. He referenced the City of Fernandina Beach as a City of similar size and has
an in-house attorney. The City could customize the positions to its needs.
Mayor Glasser stated she would like more input from the Commission stating their input for which
option they would like to go with.
Mayor Pro-Tem Norris said she is seeking more feedback from the Commission regarding
their preferred route for this Resolution. She asked if the goal was more accessible hours, more
experience, more accessibility, or to save money. She suggested the Commission offer more
specific details to staff for moving forward with the Resolution.

doesn't fully agree with all of the options. He expressed he is looking forward to paid parking.

meeting and believes the City will be able to keep the station's structure.

MODEL FLORIDA TOBACCO-FREE OUTDOOR ORDINANCE
in June 2022,Governor DeSantis signed legislation that grants city and county governments the
ability to ban smoking at public parks and beaches.This new law could potentially impact
Florida's 67 county park systems and more than 400 city park systems.This model ordinance
includes a number of provisions a local government may choose to adopt in order to ban
smoking at public parks and beaches and to further advance public health.
A city or county planning to adopt this model ordinance,in whole or in part,should review it with
its attorney beforehand to determine suitability.While the model ordinance language can be
modified by adding or omitting content concerning activities that a city or county does or does
not seek to regulate,doing so may result in an ordinance that does not conform to state law,
federal law,and best public health policy practices.
Because provisions within this model ordinance are controlled by statute and rule,the city or
county attorney should review any modifications to ensure they conform to state and federal
law.The Public Health Law Center provides legal technical assistance to help communities that
wish to adopt commercial tobacco control ordinances.We encourage communities to contact us
for assistance when considering this model language.
Notice
in order to properly adopt an ordinance,cities and counties in Florida must follow specific
processes set out in state statute.Section 125.66 sets out the process for counties;Section
166.041 sets out the process for other municipalities.These statutes include requirements for
notice,publication,and form.
Tigs for Using‘This Model Ordinance
The best possible world is one without the death and health harms associated with commercial
tobacco use.Communities differ on their readiness and willingness to adopt certain commercial
tobacco control policies that are intended to help make that world a reality.As such,this model
ordinance represents a balance between state minimum standards,best public health policy
practices,and practicality for local governments in Florida.This model ordinance contains
several policy components that go beyond state minimum requirements and communities may
or may not choose to adopt at this time
communities,adopting effective commercial tobacco control policies starts early with education,stakeholder and community engagement,and a strong advocacy plan.If a community isunawareoftheresourcesavailabletothemforengagingthecommunityanddeveloping anadvocacyplan,or if a city or county is considering adopting an ordinance and is interested inlearningabouttherangeofresourcesavailable,the Public Health Law Center can provideassistancethroughourpublicationsandreferralstoexpertsinthe?eld.in certain,limited Attachment C of 8-8-22 MinutesPage 43 of 61Agenda Item #1.A.10 Apr 2023Page 197 of 425
circumstances,Public Health Law Center staff may be able to speak at public hearings or work
sessions to provide education about particular policy options.
[Disclaimer]
The Public Health Law Center provides information and legal technical assistance on issues
related to public health.The Center does not lobby nor does it provide direct legal
representation or advice.This document should not be considered legal advice.

SECTION 1.FINDINGS
WHEREAS,tobacco use causes death and disease and continues to be an urgent public health
threat,as evidenced by the following:
o The World Health Organization (WHO)estimates that tobacco kills up to half of its users,
amounting to more than 8 million deaths each year worldwide,including nearly half a
millionpeople who die prematurely from smoking in the United States alone‘;
-Tobacco use causes disease in nearly all organ systems and is responsible for an
estimated 87%of lung cancer deaths,32%of coronary heart disease deaths,and 79%
of all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease deaths in the United Statesz;
o The estimated economic damage attributable to smoking and exposure to secondhand
smoke in the United States is nearly $300 billionannuallya;

0 Despite signi?cant progress,tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable
death and disease in the United States‘,
-Specifically,in Florida,29.4%of cancer related deaths are attributable to smoking?
o Electronic vapor products have been found to contain nicotine,lead,formaldehyde,and
thousands of other chemicals.These products damage DNA and harm parts of the brain
responsible for learning and mental health.“
WHEREAS,secondhand smoke exposure is harmful and widespread,as evidenced by the
following:.Children exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke have an increased risk of sudden
infant death syndrome,asthma,physical and cognitive developmental abnormalities,
and cancer;.The 2006 U.S.Surgeon General’s report,"The Health Consequences of involuntary
Exposure to Tobacco Smoke,"concluded that there is no safe level of exposure to
secondhand smoke;
o The World Health Organization in 2007 declared that there is indisputable evidence that
implementing 100%smoke-free environments is the only effective way to protect the
population from the harmful effects of exposure to secondhand smoke;.In Florida,59%of children between ages 11 and 17 report being exposed to
secondhand smoke from cigarettes or electronic vapor products;
WHEREAS,there is emerging evidence that exposure to the aerosol produced by a vapor-
generating electronic device may be harmful,as evidenced by the following:
-E-cigarettes produce an aerosol that contains at least ten chemicals known to cause
cancer,birth defects,or other reproductive harm.
o Bystanders exposed to e-cigarette aerosol can also absorb its nicotine..The aerosol is made up of a high concentration of ultra?ne particles,and the particle
concentration is higher than in conventional tobacco cigarette smoke..Exposure to ?ne and ultrafine particles may exacerbate respiratory ailments like asthma,
and constrict arteries which could trigger a heart attack.
WHEREAS,tobacco waste is a major,consequential,and persistent source of litter,as
evidenced by the following:
o The roughly 6.3 trillioncigarettes smoked globally each year result in 300 billion packs
that produce almost 2 million tons of wastepaper,cellophane,foil,and glue as well as
trillions of butts littered across roadways,sidewalks,parks,and other green spaces’?

-Both tobacco industry and peer-reviewed research found that most smokers admit
littering their cigarette butts9,53,54 for example,one study found 74.1%of smokers
admitted littering cigarette butts at least once in their life and 55.7%admitted to littering
them in the past month‘°;
o in an observational study of nearly 10,000 individuals,65%of smokers disposed of their
cigarette butts as litter“;
o Cigarette butts are perennially the most common form of litter collected during cleanup
programs worldwide.For example,in 2018,cigarette butts made up nearly 16%of all
litter collected through cleanup programs in the U.S.(809,538 out of 5,106,515 items)
-Cigarette butts are often cast onto sidewalks and streets,and frequently end up in storm
drains that ?ow into streams,rivers,bays,lagoons,and ultimately the ocean”;
-As of August 2019,the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency recognizes nicotine-
containing electronic smoking devices as acute hazardous waste when disposed
properly”;
WHEREAS,cigarette butts,smokeless tobacco,and electronic smoking devices pose a

MODEL FLORIDA TOBACCO-FREEOUTDOOR ORDINANCE
(WITH VAPOR GENERATINGDEVICES SEPERATLY DEFlNED)ln June 2022,Governor
DeSantis signed legislation that grants city and county governments the ability to ban smoking
at public parks and beaches.This new law could potentially impact Florida’s 67 county park
systems and more than 400 city park systems.This model ordinance includes a number of
provisions a local government may choose to adopt in order to ban smoking and vaping at
public parks and beaches and to further advance public health.
A city or county planning to adopt this model ordinance,in whole or in part,should review it with
its attorney beforehand to determine suitability.While the model ordinance language can be
modified by adding or omitting content concerning activities that a city or county does or does
not seek to regulate,doing so may result in an ordinance that does not conform to state law,
federal law,and best public health policy practices.
Because provisions within this model ordinance are controlled by statute and rule,the city or
county attorney should review any modifications to ensure they conform to state and federal
law.The Public Health Law Center provides legal technical assistance to help communities that
wish to adopt commercial tobacco control ordinances.We encourage communities to contact us
for assistance when considering this model language.
Notice
In order to properly adopt an ordinance,cities and counties in Florida must follow speci?c
processes set out in state statute.Section 125.66 sets out the process for counties;Section
166.041 sets out the process for other municipalities.These statutes include requirements for
notice,publication,and form.
Tips for Using This Model Ordinance
The best possible world is one without the death and health harms associated with commercial
tobacco use.Communities differ on their readiness and willingness to adopt certain commercial
tobacco control policies that are intended to help make that world a reality.As such,this model
ordinance represents a balance between state minimum standards,best public health policy
practices,and practicality for local governments in Florida.This model ordinance contains
several policy components that go beyond state minimum requirements and communities may
time
While the Public Health Law Center does not lobby,advocate,or directly representcommunities,adopting effective commercial tobacco control policies starts early with education,stakeholder and community engagement,and a strong advocacy plan.if a community isunawareoftheresourcesavailabletothemforengagingthecommunityanddeveloping anadvocacyplan,or if a city or county is considering adopting an ordinance and is interested inlearningabouttherangeofresourcesavailable,the Public Health Law Center can provideassistancethroughourpublicationsandreferralstoexpertsinthe?eld.In certain,limited Attachment C of 8-8-22 MinutesPage 50 of 61Agenda Item #1.A.10 Apr 2023Page 204 of 425

sessions to provide education about particular policy options.

IN PUBLIC PARKS AND BEACHES WITHINTHE [CITY/COUNTY]
SECTION 1.FINDINGS
WHEREAS,tobacco use causes death and disease and continues to be an urgent public health
threat,as evidenced by the following:
o The World Health Organization (WHO)estimates that tobacco kills up to half of its users,
amounting to more than 8 million deaths each year worldwide,including nearly half a
millionpeople who die prematurely from smoking in the United States alone‘;
0 Tobacco use causes disease in nearly all organ systems and is responsible for an
estimated 87%of lung cancer deaths,32%of coronary heart disease deaths,and 79%
of all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease deaths in the United Statesz;
o The estimated economic damage attributable to smoking and exposure to secondhand
smoke in the United States is nearly $300 billionannualIy3;

Despite signi?cant progress,tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable
death and disease in the United States‘,
Speci?cally,in Florida,29.4%of cancer related deaths are attributable to smoking.5
Electronic vapor products have been found to contain nicotine,lead,formaldehyde,and
thousands of other chemicals.These products damage DNA and harm parts of the brain
responsible for learning and mental health.“
WHEREAS,secondhand smoke exposure is harmful and widespread,as evidenced by the
following:
Children exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke have an increased risk of sudden
infant death syndrome,asthma,physical and cognitive developmental abnormalities,
and cancer;
The 2006 U.S.Surgeon General’s report,"The Health Consequences of involuntary
Exposure to Tobacco Smoke,"concluded that there is no safe level of exposure to
secondhand smoke;
The World Health Organization in 2007 declared that there is indisputable evidence that
implementing 100%smoke-free environments is the only effective way to protect the
population from the harmful effects of exposure to secondhand smoke;
In Florida,59%of children between ages 11 and 17 report being exposed to
secondhand smoke from cigarettes or electronic vapor products;
WHEREAS,there is emerging evidence that exposure to the aerosol produced by a vapor-
generating electronic device may be harmful,as evidenced by the following:
E-cigarettes produce an aerosol that contains at least ten chemicals known to cause
cancer,birth defects,or other reproductive harm.
Bystanders exposed to e-cigarette aerosol can also absorb its nicotine.
The aerosol is made up of a high concentration of ultra?ne particles,and the particle
concentration is higher than in conventional tobacco cigarette smoke.
Exposure to ?ne and ultrafine particles may exacerbate respiratory ailments like asthma,
and constrict arteries which could trigger a heart attack.
WHEREAS,tobacco waste is a major,consequential,and persistent source of litter,as
evidenced by the following:
The roughly 6.3 trillion cigarettes smoked globally each year result in 300 billion packs
that produce almost 2 million tons of wastepaper,cellophane,foil,and glue as well as
trillions of butts littered across roadways,sidewalks,parks,and other green spaces’?

0 Both tobacco industry and peer-reviewed research found that most smokers admit
littering their cigarette butts9,53,54 for example,one study found 74.1%of smokers
admitted littering cigarette butts at least once in their life and 55.7%admitted to littering
them in the past month‘°;
o In an observational study of nearly 10,000 individuals,65%of smokers disposed of their
cigarette butts as litter";
o Cigarette butts are perennially the most common form of litter collected during cleanup
programs worldwide.For example,in 2018,cigarette butts made up nearly 16%of all
litter collected through cleanup programs in the U.S.(809,538 out of 5,106,515 items)
0 Cigarette butts are often cast onto sidewalks and streets,and frequently end up in storm
drains that flow into streams,rivers,bays,lagoons,and ultimately the ocean”;
c As of August 2019,the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency recognizes nicotine-
containing vapor-generating electronic devices as acute hazardous waste when
disposed properly”;
WHEREAS,cigarette butts,smokeless tobacco,and vapor-generating electronic devices
pose a health threat of poisoning to young children,as evidenced by the following:
o In 2018,American poison control centers logged nearly 13,000 cases involving exposure
to cigarettes,cigarette butts,vapor-generating electronic devices,or other tobacco
products,and of these,more than 10,000 (79.0%)occurred in children aged 5 years and
younger“;
-Among the 10,266 cases of nicotine and tobacco product exposure recorded in 2018
among children 5 years of age and younger by American poison control centers,50.3%
involved cigarettes,18.4%involved vapor-generating electronic devices,and 8.0%
involved other tobacco products“;
-The annual number of electronic cigarette exposure cases among children less than 5
years of age reported to American poison control centers increased from 10 in 2010 to
1,835 in 2018,a 14,015%increase”;and

Organization's mission statement:The Beaches Council on Aging improves the quality of life for senior residents
of the Beaches by connecting them to people,services,and places with care.Our mission is to promote the
health and social engagement of homebound aging and disabled adults living in Jacksonville's beach
communities,from Atlantic Beach through Ponte Vedra Beach.
Aging and disabled adults are among the most vulnerable in our community.We provide two main programs to
address senior needs which aid in their health and wellbeing:transportation through our Dial A Ride program
and access to senior resources and services through the Beaches Senior Living Network.
Programs:Dial A Ride is the only non—profitservice that specifically transports seniors (62+)and disabled adults
who can no longer drive,anywhere they wish to go in the Beaches area.This includes almost a dozen dialysis
patients who are driven to their treatments three times a week.The service allows people to remain in their
homes longer,maintaining their independence and a sense of self—sufficiencyand security.We operate M—F,8 —
4 pm and have expanded our service to Saturdays 8 —2 pm.The Saturday expansion is mainly for our dialysis
patients and we also take Pablo Hamlet and Pablo Towers residence to Walmart that day.Trips are individually
scheduled,door—to-door and though we ask for only a $5 donation per roundtrip,no one is turned away if they
cannot pay.Trips include medical (58%)and basic needs (groceries,personal care and hygiene),social,and
educational/cultural.
In 2021,we averaged 331 roundtrips per month and 3,970 total for the year.We also gained 96 new riders.
Atlantic Beach Residence are 13%or a total of 417 rides so far for 2022.With increased marketing and the
launch of the Beaches Senior Living Network,we anticipate 375 monthly trips;4,200 round trips annually,and
100 new riders for 2022.
Last fall (2021),through a partnership with Baptist Medical Center Beaches and local senior service
organizations,we launched the Beaches Senior Network.Baptist Medical Center gathered a think tank of
Beaches senior care providers to identify unmet needs of the elderly population and how to address them.From
that,the Beaches Senior Living Network was born.The collaborative identified the need for one central
information hub,specifically for senior services,run by an Information Coordinator (IC).
BCOAwas tasked with leading the effort and hiring the IC.The program includes a team of 29 volunteers who
call our clients weekly,and serve as a bridge between the clients and the IC and services.This not only connects
them with the appropriate resources,but the IC oversees the process to ensure follow up.The lC maintains a
database of organizations and resources for seniors.This is not limited to residents of the beaches;any senior
may gaps or a of senior resources reports to BCOAcommunityarebeingmadeawareoftheBeachesSeniorLivingNetwork and DialA Ride through targetedmarketingandinformationdrives.We look forward to working with Atlantic Beach to increase awareness of ourservicesandjobopeningsfordriverstomakeagreaterimpactonthecommunity.Attached is a recap of the successes of BCOA since January of 2021.We appreciate the support of the City ofAtlanticBeachandwouldrequestanincreaseofourdonationtoatleast$5,000 to assist with operations ofthesecontinuedandnewservices.Attachment D of 8-8-22 MinutesPage 59 of 61Agenda Item #1.A.10 Apr 2023Page 213 of 425

Dear Owner:
On behalf of the City of Atlantic Beach,thank you for being a valued member of our local business
community.Your establishment adds greatly to the economy and to our quality of life.By this letter,I
would like to call your attention to the City's focuson health and well-being,and make a request that you
consider voluntarily creating a "smoke-free"zone withinyour existing outdoor eating area(s).
The Florida Clean lndoor Air Act prohibits smoking inside of most public and private businesses,including
restaurants.This prohibitiondoes not extend to outdoor eating areas.Experts tell us there is no risk-free
level of secondhand smoke exposure,even with patrons sitting six feet apart.They also tell us that
employees are also at risk.
Smoke-free policies typically receive public support.While we cannot regulate what you do outside on
your property,we can ask for your help to make a difference in Atlantic Beach.in addition to the health
benefits,let me mention how your involvement would set a great example in our community.First,
Atlantic Beach supports the City of Jacksonville's implementationof the Blue Zones life radius model in
certain zip codes.While we are not among these zip codes,you can help us to support the model with
policies that discourage smoking and help to extend life.Second,Atlantic Beach supports the efforts of
Tobacco-Free -Floridaand Tobacco-Free Jacksonville to encourage more smoke-freeoutdoor spaces,to
include outdoor eating areas.Third,you can help us minimize complaints from patrons and residents about
smoking in theseareas and the litter that is created nearby.Finally,by action of Governor DeSantis after
this past legislative session,even the State now gives Cities a say on smoking on our beaches and in our
parks.Smoke-free zones in these public spaces will be talked about in Atlantic Beach in the very near
future.
Already,we have recognized some local restaurants who have created smoke-free areas outside.But,you
may wonder how such a policy would affect your bottom line.According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention,peer-reviewed studies examined taxable sales revenue and employment level
determined that smoke-free policies and regulations do not have an adverse economic impact on the
Thanks for considering this request.If you need assistance,we can help or connect you to local resources.If you have already done it or decide to create a smoke-free zone,let us know so that we can recognizeyourleadership!SincerelllenGlasserMayor Attachment E of 8-8-22 MinutesPage 61 of 61Agenda Item #1.A.10 Apr 2023Page 215 of 425

CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution No. 22-49 authorizing the leave cash-in program as an additional City
benefit for eligible employees
SUBMITTED BY: Cathy Varian, Human Resources Director
TODAY’S DATE: August 8, 2022
MEETING DATE: August 22, 2022
BACKGROUND: Prior to 2013, City Employees had the opportunity twice a year to cash-in their
leave balances down to 120 hours. The maximum leave balance was 960, so it was
a coveted benefit for employees. This program was eliminated along with many
other employee benefits at the time. The current maximum leave balance for
employees is 680. Due to staffing shortages, many employees are unable to take
leave and therefore, lose accrued leave time.
Some type of leave cash-in was a priority for both unions this year and was a
priority expressed by many during the benefits survey recently completed by
Human Resources.
The terms negotiated by the unions were to allow employees to cash-in up to 50
hours of accrued personal leave on September 1 of each year, as long as they
maintain a balance of 80 hours of leave after the cash-in. For budgeting purposes,
employees will be required to submit a request for leave cash-in by July 1 of each
year.
The City benefits from this policy by paying employees for leave at their current
rate of pay, rather than the larger salary they would be making upon termination.
Human Resources will draft a Policy for the Employee Handbook and a request
form for this purpose.
BUDGET: No discernable budget impact at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the addition of Leave Cash-in as a City of Atlantic Beach benefit for
its eligible employees, thus giving the City’s employees the opportunity to get paid for their accrued leave
time rather than lose it.

to the North, building a new oceanfront home, is a cause of the building plan being flipped to the
south side. PC Gualillo answered that changing this to the south side allows for the least impact
on the community.
The Commission agreed to have an attachment brought to the next meeting to look at in advance.
Commissioner Kelly explained her understanding that the garage is a utility shed for other things
aside from the jet ski and the gator. PC Gualillo commented that there is a lot of wet gear that
needs to be stored as well and expressed that a better storage space, aside from the station, is
needed.
John Phillips, Captain of the Atlantic Beach Ocean Rescue, shared additional information
regarding the lifeguard staffing and vehicles.
3.E. Additional Updates
CM Gerrity provided the following updates:
• Asked for direction on the proposed Road Improvement Plan. There was a CONSENSUS
to direct CM Gerrity to bring a bid back for approval.
• Requested direction for a sidewalk down Selva Marina that has been budgeted for
$250,000. Commissioner Waters spoke against the sidewalk. Commissioner Bole shared
that there was negative feedback from the neighbors regarding this potential sidewalk.
Commissioner Kelly suggested placing reflective paint on the road. Commissioner Ring
advised that she likes Commissioner Kelly's idea and believes it would help with
reflection at night. Mayor Ford commented that he doesn't want to spend the funds on a
sidewalk and requested that CM Gerrity come back with options on what to do with the
funds/project. Mayor Ford also expressed that he would like to have more discussion on
Selva Marina Drive.
3.B. Dora Drive Property - Stormwater Mitigation Park
CM Gerrity reported on this item as detailed in the agenda packet.
Commissioner Bole referred back to the 2023 priorities. He commented that stormwater
infrastructure was high on the list and suggested having the City Engineer (CE) come and speak
to the Commission about this project again.
Commissioner Kelly suggested having the CE come and speak again.
Mayor Ford advised that this project contains some complexity and that he is against spending
funds on an appraisal.

Commissioner Ring noted that she has discussed this with the CE and the issue that she has is
with the $3,000,000, price because it is a large difference compared to the other alternatives.
Commissioner Waters expressed that he doesn't think the land will be buildable and that he does
not want to spend money on the appraisals.
The Commission agreed to hear from CE Swann again at the next meeting.
3.D. Arts, Recreation, and Culture Committee Grant Funding Request
DCM Hogencamp reported on this item as detailed in the agenda packet.
Commissioner Ring clarified the remaining balance.
Mayor Ford expressed concern about granting entities outside of the City.
Commissioner Kelly shared information about how the grant process works.
RCAD Thomas shared that ARCC makes sure that each organization's Liaison completes a
check-in and that each organization is responsible for submitting a progress report as well as a
final report before applying for another grant.
Commissioner Ring encouraged the Commission to keep in mind that the neighborhood schools
all receive funding but the funding is extended a little more to Atlantic Beach Elementary. She

4. REPORTS AND/OR REQUESTS FROM CITY COMMISSIONERS
4.A. 18th and 19th Street Paid Parking Update (Commissioners Bole and Waters)
Commissioner Waters reported what he has learned regarding this topic. Joe Esparza, Parking
Enforcement Officer, shared additional information regarding various parking issues and
suggested having better parking signage in certain areas.
Commissioner Kelly asked what could be done to help Mr. Esparza. He suggested placing "no
backing in" signs in parking areas to help. He also suggested smaller spaces at beach accesses so
that golf carts don't drive through them. Commissioner Ring followed up to ask if there was
space for golf carts to park. Mr. Esparza answered that there are and clarified that he was referring
to areas where there shouldn't be any golf carts going through the beach accesses.
Commissioner Waters expressed that he would like to have Mr. Esparza working throughout the
week. Mr. Esparza shared that there is a need for parking enforcement throughout the week and
that two parking enforcement officers could be used on the weekends.
Commissioner Bole explained his understanding of the paid parking program and asked PC
Gualillo for an overview of the data. PC Gualillo explained that nothing has changed regarding
the big numbers. He added that in order to take a further look at paid parking he would have to
look at only the hours and days when it was being enforced and breakdown each call to find out
if paid parking has been more effective. Commissioner Bole asked for PC Gualillo's opinion on
COAB's police force having paid parking. PC Gualillo expressed that, regarding calls for service,
there hasn't been a significant difference. He also shared that paid parking, cameras, and word of
mouth could possibly be having an effect on less traffic however, when it comes to less crime,
the data does not support it. Commissioner Waters expressed that he's not sure what it is, but it
has been quieter for whatever reason.
Commissioner Ring inquired about when the paid parking started and expressed that we would
need to go through a full summer to collect more data.
Commissioner Waters asked PC Gualillo what his thoughts were on the hours of paid parking.
PC Gualillo shared that expanding the program and the hours would be fine and a discussion
would need to happen regarding the possibility of more employees and more vehicles.
CM Gerrity will work with PC Gualillo to gather more information on the possibility of
expanding the paid parking program and bring this information back to the next meeting.
PC Gualillo reported that the recovery rate on paid parking tickets for last year was 77% after
sending out two notices, 23% unpaid, 2020 was 72% recovery, 2021 was 58%, and that there is
no recovery for tickets that go unpaid. He shared that the options for recovering are either a
collections agency or engaging the State of Florida to affect one's registration which he expressed
is not an easy process. Mayor Ford expressed interest in utilizing vehicle boots and PC Gualillo
advised that they don't have any right now, but this could be looked into.

4.B. Formation of Traffic and Safety Committee (Mayor Ford)
Mayor Ford explained his desire to recreate this committee and requested support from the
commissioners for reestablishing a safety, traffic and parking committee. He added that it would
be tasked to be an advisory committee. He requested public works to check the signs at the beach
access to keep up with being consistent with signage. He also encouraged taking a look at the
parking required for beach renourishments. Mayor Ford suggested having a committee of eight
members, two members from each district.
Commissioner Kelly commented that she would wait and see.
Commissioner Ring expressed that she likes the idea and expressed that this committee will give
citizens a platform to express their concerns. She inquired about the makeup of the committee.
Mayor Ford clarified that he would like for there to be two members from Commissioners Ring,
Waters, Bole, and Kelly's districts.
Commissioner Waters expressed that he is for another shot at a parking committee and hopes
that this committee can get more support.
There was a CONSENSUS to move forward except Commissioner Kelly.
4.C. Selection of Non-profit Organization for NEFLC Donation Application (Commissioner
Kelly)
Commissioner Kelly recommended BEAM, but was open to suggestions.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH,FLORIDA,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO CONTRACT ACON CONSTRUCTION TO
PROVIDE DESIGN BUILD SERVICES FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF
THE ATLANIC BEACH OCEAN RESCUE STATION
WHEREAS,The Atlantic Beach Ocean Rescue station was constructed in 2000 and had
numerous water leaks before it was renovated in 2019;and
WHEREAS,since the renovation in 2019 the building has been professionally tested and
reports have shown persistent elevated mold spore counts present in the wall spaces of the building;
and
WHEREAS,the Atlantic Beach Ocean Rescue has increased its service level to the public,
has increased the number and diversi?cation of their workforce such that the existing single restroom
facility is inadequate;and
WHEREAS,the equipment which the Atlantic Beach Ocean Rescue uses during their daily
operations is wet at the end of the day and needs to be more appropriately stored to help reduce the
level of humidity in the station and the rescue vehicles which the lifeguards use should be stored on
site for rapid deployment to the beachfront when needed in an emergency;and
WHEREAS,during instances of lightening and rain storms the space available inside the
current lifeguard station is often insuf?cient to house the number of lifeguards working and,on
occasion participants of the Junior Lifeguard Summer Camp held multiple times during each summer;
and
WHEREAS,city staff comprised of subject matter experts in engineering,plarming,public
safety and ocean rescue have reviewed the existing building conditions,the current site of the
lifeguard station and the programmatic needs of the COAB Ocean Rescue corps and found there to
be compelling reasons and suf?cient space to improve and enlarge the existing lifeguard station;and
WHEREAS,funding in the amount of $562,500 to help pay for the renovation of the life
guard station has been granted from the city of Jacksonville;
NOW THEREFORE,be it resolved by the City Commission of the City of Atlantic Beach
