Don Ford, 338 6"' Street, addressed Item 7D stating he is against any raise in rates for new development at this time. He further addressed Item 7E stating he believes this should not be changed. He stated he believes the people who represent a district should August 11.2008 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Paee 2 live in the district. Also addressing Item 8D, he stated to excuse the owner of the Palms and give him more time to develop the property is not responsible. He stated this property has become a blight on the City for long enough. Don Remley,1309 Violet Street, stated he is against the proposed increase in Item 7D. He stated he believes a homeowner should have the option to pay $1250 now, rather than the proposed increase, and have the permit be good unti12012, not just for six months. Joan Carver, 4615th Street, spoke in opposition to Item 7E, which proposes to remove the requirement that commissioners reside in specific districts. She stated repealing the referendum approved by the voters shows a disregard for the work of the Redistricting Committee, the prior City Commission, and the voters. David Rouleau, 982 Ocean Blvd., spoke regarding the long term eyesore and trash at the project at 901 Ocean Blvd. and requested the Commission do something about it. He provided photos of the site to the Commission. Sally Clemens, 1638 Park Terrace West, addressed the Commission in opposition to the proposed position of Assistant City Manager and also stated maybe an error was made a few years ago when Atlantic Beach citizens were not vigilant enough with our taxpayers' money and, therefore, allowed the restructure of our City staff to create the Department of Public Safety. Lindsay Libhart, 351 Main Street, spoke in opposition of Item 7E, stating she is in favor of districting. She stated Commissioners do not know their neighborhood unless they live in the neighborhood, walk the neighborhood and know the neighbors. Stephen Kuti,1132 Linkside Drive, spoke in opposition to Item 7E, stating last year the Atlantic Beach voters made it cleaz they want to have district representation. He stated it is time to elect Commissioners west of Seminole Road and west of Mayport Road. Ray Brown, 523 Clippership Lane, addressed the Commission regazding the proposed increase in ad valorem taxes, and asked why the City of Atlantic Beach cannot stay within the rate of inflation. Lyman Fletcher, 804 East Coast Drive, spoke in opposition of Item 7E, stating this is abandoning a lot of citizens' hard work and a concept which he believes is truly democratic He stated as the Chair of the Committee for Redistricting, there was very thorough investigation, with a lot of work by staff and committee members. He stated their recommendation was not flawed and it was well thought through and it is something that needs to be implemented. He stated it is the obligation of this Commission to implement it and it appalls him and it is somewhat arrogant to take a vote of the citizens, without even giving it a try, and say now they want to change it. He stated the Committee made it very clear that those citizens are not represented at all. He stated for the Commission to abandon this now is an insult to the Committee who put it together, as well as to all of the citizens of the City. Mr. Fletcher also requested a copy of the email Commissioner Pazsons sent out and asked what the circulation of that Au¢ust l 1.2008 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Pace 3 communication was so the public record is clear on what communications may or may not have occurred leading up to this decision to change the districting referendum. Murray Benz, 1955 Beachside Court, addressed recent developments with the Health Department regarding prohibiting dogs from joining their owners outside the restaurants in the Town Center. She stated a Health Department Inspector visited several of the restaurants in Town Center informing them they are in violation of health department regulations for allowing dogs to sit outside their restaurants, and proposed COAB pass an ordinance that would permit businesses to allow dogs, as allowed by the 2006 Dixie Clarey Local Control Act. Michael Hoffmann, 176 Camelia St., addressed the email sent out by Commissioner Parsons regarding redistricting. He stated the idea of assigning a representative to a district is a novel one, adding he has never heard of it, certainly not in the United States. He believes it is incumbent for the person pushing this issue to give an example of that. He stated Commissioner Parsons has concerns about having unopposed candidacies for office or vacancies due to lack of interest or qualification on the west side. He further pointed out that the Mayor ran unopposed in the last election and in the election before that a current commissioner ran unopposed, with no comments or criticism. He stated as faz as a vacancy occurring, the Charter deals with that. He stated therefore he believes there is not a serious concern there except in the mind of the progenitor of this problem. He stated 86% of the voters wanted representation. Dezmond Waters, 1835 Seminole Road, stated he is in support of the current ordinance to go to districts. He stated in the case before the Commission tonight we obviously have a case of taxation without representation. He stated the west side of Mayport Road and adjacent areas are without any true representation. He appealed to the Commission to let the ordinance stand, which will politically activate and motivate the Mayport Corridor in Atlantic Beach and enrich the City in new dimensions. He further stated no piece of Iegislation has had more input from the citizens over a period of time and was finely planned by some of our most intelligent and respected citizens. He stated the question of what if nobody runs is addressed in the Charter, but believes the fact is people will run and there aze qualified people over there. He believes the Commission cannot solve problems of people on the west side if they don't live there and experience or know of the problem. He stated this is not a revolution, it is simply granting a just representation of the people who have been neglected all of these years. No one else from the audience spoke so Mayor Meserve closed the Courtesy of the Floor to Visitors. (Item 3A was taken out of sequence and acted on earlier in the meeting.) Action on Ordinances 7.

Mayor Meserve read Ordinance 33-08-15 by title only Motion: Approve Ordinance No. 33-48-15. as rea,~. Moved by Parsons, seconded by Fletcher. Commission Pazsons explained why he believes the new district election law is flawed and stated the ordinance he is introducing tonight will maintain the great quality of life while still give the opportunity to choose the best candidate available who will represent not only all of the citizens but the district represented as well. This ordinance would appoint Seats 2-5 to a district but the candidates would still run city-wide. Mayor Meserve stated the people have spoken and he believes it would be wrong to put it back on the ballot without giving it a chance and stated he will not vote for this. Commissioner Borno stated he has never been in favor of districting and believes the voters did not understand what they were voting for. Commissioner Fletcher stated he does not see the harm in letting the voters speak on this issue again. Commissioner Woods stated the voters were very clear in voting for districting and believes the voters should be listened to. She stated it is a fact that none of the current commissioners go to the west side every day to see the issues that aze going on. Commissioner Pazsons stated his proposal is just another plan that he believes will work better than what is in place right now and wants to give the people the opportunity to vote. Mayor Meserve stated he believes district representation would give a sense of neighborhood pride and urged the commission to vote against this and give what the voters said before a chance to work. Mayor Meserve asked the City Clerk to call a roll call vote. Votes: Aye: 3 -Borno, Fletcher, Parsons Nay: 2 -Woods, Meserve MOTION CARRIED Consent Agenda 4.

August 11.2008 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING Pace 8 Public Utilities Director Donna Kaluzruak explained the ordinance, stating the impact and capital improvement fees were last updated in 1992. City Manager Jim Hanson further explained it is only fair that as new growth comes on, they should pay for that capacity. He stated there aze close to $10 million worth of wastewater plant expansions needed to meet the new standards over the next few years and some of this money will pay a portion of it. Discussion ensued regarding how the proposed fees compare to adjacent cities. Mr. Hanson also explained, regarding Mr. Remley's question about paying his sewer connection fee before the rate goes up, the decision was made to inform everyone the fee would increase in 90 days. He stated he does not believe it would be fair to have someone pay the fee but not do the work for another several yeazs. Ms. Kaluzniak agreed, stating the permit has an expiration date, i.e. for someone who wants to connect to sewer, that is a 6 month permit. She stated they would have to connect within the six month period, not pay the fee and wait to connect until 2012. Mr. Hanson stated the Commission could take a different position on the existing septic tank owners. Commissioner Borno stated he would like to consider allowing people, who want to pay now at the lower rate, to wait to connect to the sewer through December 31, 2011. After further discussion, Mayor Meserve directed Ms. Kaluzniak to prepare a comparability chart for the next meeting. Commissioner Woods asked if remodeling would have impact fees. Ms. Kaluzniak stated the proposed charges are all based on meter size, so if the meter size is not changed when remodeling there is no extra charge. Motion: Amend Ordinance No. 80-08-76 to include an effective date of December 1.2008.

City Manager recommended a scrivener change in Sec. 103 and 103.1 that references the Department of Public Safety and Building Department, to read Building Department and Code Enforcement Division, because once Chief Thompson retires from that position they do not intend to fill it and there will no longer be a Department of Public Safety.

He stated in that case often the property is sold before we can put a lien on it. Commissioner Fletcher stated he is concerned the City is getting a little over regulatory and cannot support it. Commissioner Borno stated he looks at this ordinance from the safety aspect of it and believes there must be visibility. Commissioner Fletcher stated the safety issue concerns him also but he tends to err on the side of the property rights issue. Following discussion regarding the percentage of window that can be obscured, Mayor Meserve stated he believes it is not spelled out well enough. After further concerns were expressed, it was the consensus of the Commission to defer Ordinance No. 95-08-96 until next meeting to allow staff to make changes.
