staff to serve the city. Goal setting was implemented in 2018 with the purpose to draw
the priorities from elected officials.
The current process for the open city manager position was reviewed with discussion
regarding the salary increase to $190,000 - $225,000 due to the housing costs. The
increase was to supplement the base with a housing allowance. ICM Gerrity was asked
his opinion on the residency requirement and its impact on attracting quality candidates.
ICM Gerrity replied while he prefers to live in the city in which he is the manager of, but
it depends upon the candidate's personal situation regarding family and educational
needs of children.
Carolyn Zisser, Atlantic Beach stated the city manager residence requirement
discussion was not noticed and should be because she believes it will be a highly
controversial issue.
Chair Gulliford thanked Ms. Zisser for her point of order but reminded her proper notice
was given for all items discussed and the Committee can discuss without taking action.
2. PUBLIC COMMENT
Carolyn Zisser, Atlantic Beach asked ICM Gerrity his thoughts regarding if prior city manager
was one of the most important criteria to consider: ICM Gerrity replied it was preferable.
Sarah Boren, Atlantic Beach suggested an online form be available to residents to be read at
public comment: inquired how often and when population is reassessed, and districts refined
since it is unclear in the Charter: pointed out there is not strong language regarding
environmental stewardship, sustainability, and resiliency except for preservation of parks in
Section 9. Made comments regarding city manager position including it is up to the citizens to
make it a good civil environment, inquired about providing housing for city manager, and
suggested knowledge of resiliency and environmental stewardship as qualifications for the
position.
Jack Rowan, Jacksonville suggested the Committee discuss Section 6 to include misdemeanors.
He suggested having more time for the Commission to get involved regarding Section 7 and
automatic raises.
Mayor Curtis Ford, Atlantic Beach thanked the Committee for their service. He would be
supportive if the Committee recommend the city manager position not be required to live in
Atlantic Beach, although he feels the residency is preferable. He requested the Committee revisit
the tern of office for mayor to have more dialogue to help attract more candidates. He pointed
out any change to the mayor term would not impact his tenure in the position.
Steven Fouraker, Atlantic Beach stated Mr. Young's AI (artificial intelligence) assisted paper
does not apply. Atlantic Beach has a Commission / City Manager form of government and is not
a strong mayor form of government like Jacksonville regarding the term for mayor.

27 Sep 2023
Dr. Nancy Staats Atlantic Beach concurred with Mr. Fouraker regarding the mayor's tern in
office.
Mayor Curtis Ford, Atlantic Beach reiterated all he wanted was debate and dialogue regarding
the mayor's tern.
Al Kerber, Atlantic Beach referred the Committee to a letter drafted by former Commissioner
Cindy Anderson regarding the mayor's terns. He was concerted about the number of people
running for office and not having a runoff because it could lead to electing someone who ran a
great campaign as opposed to a qualified candidate.
Carolyn Zisser, Atlantic Beach wanted to reiterate that the mayor issue is a hot issue and should
be noticed on the agenda.
Chair Gulliford reiterated that the general noticing with the particular section as we have been
with the Article and the Section is providing proper notice. CA Scott Thomas concurred, and
the statute is reasonable notice. He continued if the agenda also allows for public comment, that
is not a restriction by area.
Chair Gulliford further opined the Committee has gone beyond and allowed public comment
while motions on the floor for discussion for full transparency.
Steve Fouraker, Atlantic Beach stated the Committee should agree on a Sunshine with
Commissioners being able to lobby members of this Committee outside of this Committee; they
should consider if they should be able to come in and lobby.
Chair Bill Gulliford responded there is no limitation talking to one of the members. Sunshine
states it is 2 members of the same legislative body can't communicate with each other on a
particular issue. CA Scott Thomas concurred with Chair Gulliford and Sunshine can't deliberate
in private; it is not a restriction on individuals to petition you.
Secretary Jennifer Lagner requested the Committee approve the minutes.

Donner Park, Jordan Park, Tide Views.
Albert Kerber, Atlantic Beach shared it was not a contiguous piece of property. There was a
costly cleanout, and the question carne up as to why this was still owned by the city.
Secretary Jenn Lagner reread the motion.

Agenda Item #1.A.
27 Sep 2023
Jackie Beckenbach, Atlantic Beach, referred to the letter she sent to the Commission expressing
her concerns about the city manager process and the need for a standardized process for hiring
key positions and boards such as the CRC. She suggested the Committee propose a charter
amendment; the lack of transparency and discussion back and forth creates doubt and lack of
trust due to lack of clarity.
Amy Rose, Atlantic Beach, stated 2 years residency is sufficient for commission qualifications
due to an extended time could reduce the opportunity for others. The Commission should be
paid more; suggested to look at changing term Commission to Council which seems to be the
most common in her research of Florida. Suggested adding 2 additional commissioners to be at
large to increase representation.
Chair Bill Gulliford commented that Scott Thomas who filled in for CA Jason Gabriel did a
commendable job in his absence.

and other sections of the Charter.
CA Jason Gabriel explained Section 6 regarding qualifications and "full time residents-
is defined as "principal place of abode"; while not defined in the Charter, if residency is
challenged, attorneys would check different jurisdictions but, in his experience, it is
where someone usually lives and can be supported by items such as utility bills.
MOTION: Shall be full time resident of the city for four years immediately prior to
qualifying and shall be elector in the city for four years.
Motion: Ellen Golombek
Second: Mitchell Reeves
"Elector" was defined as someone who is registered to vote; not that they have voted. There are
penalties if one is registered to vote and live somewhere else per voter registration laws. CC
Donna Bartle asked if a definitions section could be added to the charter; with an affirmative
response from CA Jason Gabriel, she will provide examples at the next Committee meeting with
CA Jason Gabriel to find out if the definitions section would be one change or each definition is
considered a change.
Member Ellen Golombek restated the motion.

No changes to Section 11
Discussion
Section 12 - Vacancies in the city commission
No changes to Section 12
Discussion
Section 13 - Creation of new departments or offices; change of duties
Discussion regarding the changeover in Commission post-election result certification
and the practice of the outgoing Commission having a meeting to close out duties of
office with their agenda, then the newly elected Commission be sworn in and have a
meeting with another agenda, resulting in 2 meetings for one evening. This practice has
been a tradition to possibly close a gap, but the old Commission should not be passing
laws at that meeting because they are not technically elected officials at that time once
the results are certified. Section 14 should be clarified to mandate the brand newly
elected Commission take over on that second Monday.
MOTION: To clarify Section 14 that the newly elected City Commissioners only take office at
the next regularly scheduled meeting after certification of election.
Motion: Mitchell Reeves
Second: Kirk Hansen
Albert Kerber, Atlantic Beach, suggested if the Committee was to consider clarifying with
dates, look at run-off elections due to slim margins if there is not a 50% + 1 in the voter tally.
No mote was taken.
